I think I've established that I have one of the crappiest mail delivery services anywhere. I never know from one day to the next whether my mail will actually arrive, which rather stinks when I've gone out on a limb and placed an order that the USPS must deliver to my house. I go out of my way to use FedEx or UPS whenever possible, even if it's a tad more expensive, but sometimes I don't get an option.
Last week, I placed a group order with a couple of my Sisters of the Wool for some Wollmeise. I've ordered from Claudia before, and I was pleased at the speed of delivery. That must have been a good week for the USPS, because this time, it took longer. Yesterday, the doorbell rang, and though I scrambled to get to the door, the mail carrier was back in his truck and half-way down the street before I got there. Lying on the doorstep was a package from Amazon.com (my other addiction), so I figured, "Bummer deal. No Wollmeise today."
This morning, I checked the mail at our mailbox, and what did I find? A delivery slip from the USPS. It said that I needed to come to the post office to pick up a package for which a signature was required. Why the postal carrier couldn't wait the freaking minute or two that it took me to get to the door so I could sign for it there, I don't know! So I dutifully headed off to the Post Office to pick up the package.
Our local Post Office is every bit the humming hub of efficiency that one would expect from an organization that supports the kind of employees that deliver the mail to our house. That is, it sucks!
I went to the "fast pick-up" door and rang the bell. And knocked. And rang the bell again. No answer. So I went inside and got in line with a whole bunch of other equally disgusted people. In the twenty minutes that I waited, I got to hear all sorts of horror stories from locals who have had to endure the poor service for even more years than I have. Finally, it was my turn.
I went up to the window, delivery slip and driver's license in hand, and asked for my package. The customer service lady asked me to wait a minute and disappeared into the back. I waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, after about five minutes, she returned with the package in hand.
The look that I gave her must have said, "What the bloody heck?" because she smiled sheepishly and said, "I couldn't get to it. You have to understand. It was in the safe." I then had to sign and print my name twice (plus hand-write my address) in order for the glorious package to be entrusted to my care.
At least the USPS has its priorities in order.
I still haven't opened the package. Since tonight is knit night, I'm going to wait to open it with the Sisters of the Wool. No one should be deprived the joy of opening of a Wollmeise package! Yarn pr0n will appear tomorrow, maybe.

Bozo the clown is out to rid the world of those bozos who ``tailgate, try to move to the head of the checkout counter, leave their turn signals on miles after they`ve turned the bend and routinely create chaos, heartache and frustration wherever they go.`` Larry Harmon, 60, who has played the crazy- haired jester for 23 years, also is returning to television this fall. Harmon was in Los Angeles Friday announcing his campaign against teen-age drug and alcohol abuse and bozos, a term he claims to have popularized as a description for screw-ups. ``Around the 1950s, I was doing a live show and was about to break for a commercial when I heard a voice saying, `I love you, Bozo,``` Harmon said. ``I looked around and saw this little boy standing on my size 83 AAA shoes. The little boy got real excited and `tinkled` on my shoes. I didn`t know what to do so I said, `That`s a Bozo no-no.```

(BU) Community leaders in Kansas City, Kan., have honored a native son, actor Ed Asner, at a fund-raiser for the city`s centennial celebration. Asner is in his hometown to work on a movie starring local talent titled This is Kansas City, Kan. Asner will narrate the film, which will be shown on the city`s 100th birthday on March 6, 1987.
(BU) He married an uptown girl in model Christie Brinkley but singer Billy Joel hasn`t forgotten his downtown days. ``I remember what it was like to work nine to five in a factory,`` he says in the December Penthouse. ``It makes me thankful - no matter how much I bitch about the music business - that I`m not doing that.``

Pais Vasco travel guide
About Pais Vasco
Pais Vasco, or the Basque Country, has a unique identity thanks to the strong Basque culture, often seen in its passion for food, especially tapas, and wine; and amongst its rural and coastal beauty are cities such as the vibrant and energetic Bilbao and cultured San Sebastian with its Michelin star chefs.
Pais Vasco (the Basque Country) is one of the most industrialized regions of Spain but it is still a land of lush green countryside, magnificent mountains and brilliant blue seas - there are many areas of nature that are almost untouched, especially the natural parks of Valderejo, Urkiola, Urdaibai and the magical landscapes along the Guernica river. This region is perfect for hiking, riding, golf and mountain sports and towns of note are San Sebastian, the famous aristocratic beach resort; and Bilbao, the region's largest city which has a beautiful historic quarter.
Discover the rich culture and deeply rooted customs of the Basque people who have forged strong bonds with the environment around them. Pais Vasco is a region where diverse and enterprising communities are based around fishing, industry and agriculture making it a land of good food and excellent wine, where local and seasonal products such as pintxos, the local tapas, and fine wines from the Rioja Alavesa or a txakoli, a sparkling wine, are a luxury everyone can afford.Read more

A Team Player
Nasus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I see many guides out there telling you how to play Nasus DPS. I find that DPS Nasus doesn't play a good role, as Nasus is meant to be built as a tank. Tank Nasus is much more helpful to the team than DPS Nasus, and this build is a way to play Tank Nasus.
Ruby Crystal-Solid starting item for any tank. Provides a large amount of health for early game, helping you stay in lane longer. This is a good starting item for Nasus because since he has natural lifesteal, he doesn't need something to help him keep his health up.
Aegis of the Legion-I find it very helpful for all support tanks to rush an Aegis. It buffs up your team pretty good, and also buffs your minions. This makes it hard for enemies to push just by you being nearby and makes it easier for you to push.
Mercury's Treads-These are really the only boots I see fir for Nasus. I find Ninja Tabi sort of useless on tanks, since they will most likely be getting armor from other sources anyway, and the passive on these is way too amazing to pass up. But you can get whatever boots you please.
Trinity Force-All around great item for Nasus. Due to Nasus' ultimate, we don't need to stack armor immediately, so we get this instead. It gives him great damage when the passive of sheen is stacked on siphoning strike, and also gives some health and attack speed. The movement speed is always nice too. Since you don't really have any interrupt spells like other tanks, this item will help you hurt a bit more.
Banshee's Veil-This is a pretty obvious item. It gives health and magic resist, and the passive is simply amazing. It can save you from death many times.
If you manage to make it this far, just buy whatever you see fit.
The runes don't really matter, these are just the ones I like. The dodge runes are almost always accepted for any champ and can be really nice. Armor penetration is to help your farming early game for max damage. Health quintessences for survivability. I really like the Mana Regen runes because they let you spam your spells early game, which is crucial.
Early Game
You want to level Spirit Fire as early as possible for the farming ability.YOu want a side lane, not mid. Just spam your Spirit Fire and try to last hit with Siphoning Strike. You won't have much killing power, but you can easily help your lanemate kill with wither. Try to place Spirit Fire in between the caster and melee minions so both get damaged. Your ultimate doesn't make much of a difference at level 1, so don't go running in for a kill once you hit 6 like you're Annie. You really won't notice your ultimate until you hit level 11.
Mid Game
Just keep farming and try not to get ganked. If your teammates are in ganking squads, join them for a kill or two but you don't want to get underleveled. Make sure you're there if an early team fight breaks out, because your ult and wither/spirit fire can make a difference.
Late GameNow this is where it gets fun with Nasus. YOu can easily initiate team fights with your ult, and can soak up tons of damage. Just make sure your team is actually willing to fight (I've had bad experiences where I initiate and my team just stand there). You can either use Wither to shut down their main DPS because of its insane attack speed increase, or you can use it to catch runners. YOu also have exhaust though, which is like another Wither. Up to you what you want tod do. Nasus is a pretty team dependant champ, so you have to hope your team knows what they're doing when they're fighting.

Seaside Garden - Reader Reports & Opinion
Guest Report
Lauren from U.S.A. visited in December 2010 and awarded
THis property is in the heart of the town .
it is right across from the beach and newly built goat racing track and is surrounded by the sunday school street party every Sunday. THere is the best Italian restaurant 2 doors down run by an Italian man and his wife for 20 years. Everything is homemade and his wife makes all the desserts. THe best part of staying at our guesthouse was the manager Sheldon. He really took care of us and helped guide us to the right places. HE made us feel at home and even shared some of his homemade fish stew! HE really extended himself and helpd us feel safe and welcomed. THank you SHeldon! It was great ringing in the New Year with you!
We enjoyed sitting in the elaborate garden and walking up the winding staircase to the terrace that overlooked the sea. Perfect spot for a glass of wine (buy it at the italian restaurant), We stayed in room 2 which had a big shower and even airconditioning!
THanks again SHeldon for making our visit special! You will be successful wherever you work because you really care about the customer.
Guest Report
Rakha from Trinidad visited in September 2010 and awarded
It was the best experience i ever had. The Seaside Garden is very very beautiful. It is such a wonderful place. Sheldon the Manager was very helpful and provided transport for us wherever we had to go. The beach was fantastic, the Sunday School was a hit, the steelpan was the best i ever heard and last but not least the Seaside Garden Manager, Boss Lady and everyone were friendly, caring, helpful and made our stay one of the best. If anyone needs a place to stay make sure and check out The Seaside Gareden it's one of the best Guest Houses with Beach closeby.
Guest Report
Candy And Family from Trinidad visited in August 2010 and awarded
I would begin by saying...yes! My family and I had a wonderful stay at Seasisde Gardens. Not only were the facilities clean and comforatable but, the hosts Sheldon and Eleanor were very hospitable. It was indeed a home away from home. The rooms were lovely and the location ideal.
I would definitely visit again and would recommend this location to my friends, family and even you reading this report.
Sheldon...Thanks very much. Our stay was too short!
Guest Report
Christine Lucas from U.K. visited in August 2010 and awarded
We have just got home from staying a week at the Seaside Garden. The garden is beautiful, with many scented flowers. The location is perfect - just over the road from the sea. We enjoyed swimming every day - especially at sunset. The beach is so peaceful - sometimes there was nobody else on the beach. We felt very much welcomed and cared for. Sheldon was always willing to give local advice - on all sorts of issues, from turtles to best eating places to removal of sea urchin spines etc etc! He also offered transport to local beaches and shops - which was a huge help for us.
'Sunday School' is loud! There is also a lesser version on Friday and Saturday nights too. We enjoyed the sound of steel pan band practice several nights during the week.
We found it difficult to leave after such a wonderful stay.
Guest Report
L. Doering from U.S.A. visited in August 2010 and awarded
Overall, Seaside Gardens was exactly as portrayed on the website and completely met our needs. Be prepared to stay at a very social place--it's nicer than your average hostel but you will still share living and cooking spaces with other guests.
The manager, Sheldon, was a lot of fun to be with and helped to make our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable.

Emerging Artists Support Fellow Artists Affected By Hurricane Sandy Through New Photography Website
Jan 25, 2013, 09:00 EST
NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- V&M (Vintage and Modern – http://www.VandM.com), the leading online curated marketplace for unique design goods, announces the launch of a new sister site, V&M Photography (http://photo.vandm.com), and its Emerging Artist series. Premiering January 25, 2013, the Emerging Artist series features up-and-coming photographers from around the world that V&M's fine art experts have identified as investment worthy pieces. V&M and its participating artists will donate 50% of all net proceeds until February 24th to the New York Foundation of the Arts (NYFA), which supports artists affected by Hurricane Sandy.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130125/NY48262 )
Adam Smith, V&M Chairman and CEO commented: "We were originally approached by L.A.-based artist and author, Courtney Eldridge, who shares V&M's passion for charitable causes and bringing emerging artists to the forefront. The Emerging Artist series will join our new home of more than 600 rare and limited-edition prints produced by established photographers including Sam Haskins, a leading creative photographer of the 1960s, and Leo Fuchs, a Hollywood behind-the-scenes photographer."
Courtney Eldridge's work in NYC and Buenos Aires led to the creation of the Saccades Project, a digital umbrella for a trilogy of young adult novels, inspired by the incredible network of teen artists she discovered online. Over the past four years, Eldridge has worked with thousands of emerging artists worldwide, and will release her first book in the Saccades series, Ghost Time, published by Amazon Publishing (June 2013).
"Our Emerging Artist series uncovers hidden gems that possess great promise and a distinctive artistic eye," says V&M Founder, Bill Indursky. "These works are a great investment. We're keeping prices affordable and limiting the editions to 45 prints per work. We're very proud to have the opportunity to support these artists and their work."
The international artists participating in V&M Photography's Hurricane Sandy relief effort hail from the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Serbia, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, Russia, Poland, Hong Kong and China. Artists include: 17-year-old German photographer Connie Gegenfurtner; published Serbian poet Tamara Suskic; music producer/member of electronic band Ladytron, Reuben Wu; Karl Lagerfeld model-turned photographer, Canadian Joel Bedford; a color-blind British painter and award-winning photographer who has been shortlisted for the Sunday Times Landscape Photographer of the Year Award the past four years in a row, Chris Friel, to name just a few.
Prints will be available in various sizes and priced as: small (8x10 in.) at $75 unframed / $149 framed, edition of 10; medium (11x14 in.) at $149 unframed / $249 framed, edition of 20; large (16x20 in.) at $359 unframed / $489 framed, edition of 10; and extra-large (32x40 in.) at $750 unframed / $1,400 framed, edition of 5. Each print comes with a V&M certificate of authenticity signed and numbered by the artist.
During the first 31 days of the Emerging Artist series, a sweepstakes will be hosted by GOOD, a global online platform that provides individuals with creative outlets to learn, share ideas, and collaborate in a variety of ways to address social issues throughout the world. The sweepstakes will be part of the 'daily question' that GOOD poses to its 830,000 Twitter fans; winners will receive a limited edition print from one of the Emerging Artists.
V&M (Vintage and Modern, www.vandm.com) is the leading online source for unique vintage furniture, antiques, art, photography, jewelry, fashion, and design. Dedicated to offering its millions of visitors a high quality shopping experience, V&M features editorial and merchandise from highly vetted sources from around the world.

"My new kitchen is now completed. Pleased I used AE Contractors who arranged for all the right people to be 'on site' as required, rather than me having to deal with this. Howdens Joinery provided free design and CAD planning and supplied the units etc. Both Lita at Howdens and Dave and his 'team' at AE Contractors were a pleasure to deal with and both did a great job so highly recommended."

Technology has turn out to be an essential a part of our life, because it not solely saves time to do things we want, but additionally does it with extra accuracy, than we may have performed it. It also at the similar time has made the world a smaller place to dwell in, not just by making us talk with ourselves but also making us know one another higher. In line with some estimates , there have been just 10,000 websites and two million computers linked to the Web – small potatoes in comparison with right this moment 's 45 billion internet pages and roughly 4 billion web customers. However thanks to a technology some Web service providers (ISPs) count on to roll out subsequent year, Individuals dreaming of better, quicker broadband may very well be able to get it.

Frosty Patterns, a photo by susanvg on Flickr.
My sunny amaryllis, newly opened, chases away thoughts of the cold.
There was a house here. In fact, I knew the people who lived here. I'm amazed that people would buy a house only to demolish it and build anew. I understand renovating; I understand adding on. But to pay the price for a property only to totally demolish is astonishing to me.
We'll see what appears, how it fits in with the neighbourhood. I can't help but feel a little piece of history is missing. I like the fact that my house has been lived in by others. I hope the next buyers will value some of the little touches I leave behind and then put their mark on it. Houses carry history.

It's strange that people find out it's a hoax and then try to find ways to "make it true" or to say it's metaphor. It wasn't metaphor and it wasn't true.

Ironic, I was actually looking into this shortly before I read this post.
Here is a link with more information on "Prieure De Sion".
Some may find it helpful, but some may find it long and monotonous.
[Edited on 27-5-2003 by OverStand]
Perhaps it all becomes most clear when Lamy reveals to the reader that the true secret of the village of Rennes-le-Chateau is that the extinct volcano Mount Bugarach leads down into the hollow earth to a realm of supermen.
Ean Begg feels it is connected with many of the Black Virgin sites all over Europe. Certainly, if the organization's full name is the Prieure de Notre Dame du Sion, and if it is site of Orval is connected to the worship of the bear-goddess Arduina, venerated by the Sicambrian Franks of the area and their Merovingian kings, then this may be the case.

Well I can see that the things described in the Protocols are actually happening. As far as it being the "Jews"; who knows.
The original identity of the Hebrews and/or Israelites is an endless argument and can really only be speculated on until someone can provide solid proof.
The relationship between the Zionist Jews and various "Illuminati" factions is just as confusing. It sucks that the Jewish people have been getting caught in the middle of it all and are being used as scapegoats.
The Templar, Sufi, Assassin, and Prieure De Sion thing is pretty interesting too but I won't comment at this time.
I see the Protocols as merely a description of how SOMEONE is manipulating the masses.

WWII: Adolf Shicklgruber has a bunch of German convicts dressed up as Polish soldiers, takes them to a radio station at the Polish border, has them machine gunned. Calls it an attack on Germany, "retaliates" with a blitzkrieg on Poland.
The Protocols are the plans of the Illuminati, blamed on the Jews. Convenient way to publicize your plans without getting into trouble for it.

|Sashimi lunch set @Dongmun market, Jeju
Finally we managed to eat the fresh fish sashimi set. We passed by this place for many times. Only today we finally ate there. One set came with such food - a set of fish sashimi, steamed egg, cold platter (fresh oysters, boiled small crayfish, quail eggs, peas, corns, octopus), grilled saba or mackerel fish, spicy fish soup, sushi, noodles and vegetables for condiments to be eaten with the sashimi. All set for two costs KRW30,000 (S$37). Oh, plus a bottle of soju at KRW3,000 (S$3.70). Oh man, this is another country that sells a cheap liquor!! At the supermarket, a bottle of soju was sold at an average of KRW1,000 (S$1.22). OMG! No wonder most Korean are good at drinking!!
Btw, you know what? We actually ate at the wrong stall. There were actually 2 stalls at left and right side. Since all wordings were in Korean, we didn't know that the two stalls were different. If you looked at my photo above, I was posing with the wrong restaurant background. That was what we wanted to eat at. However, we sat down at its next door stall. Hahaha... At night both stalls were full and crowded but we always passed by the blue signage restaurant as the toilet was reached from that direction. The food looked great and that afternoon more people had lunch there. The funniest thing was that we only realized about it when we wanted to pay our bill. Lolx! I was sitting down with the view behind me. So my hubby was the one who realized the difference. Because when I wanted to pay, I was actually heading to the next door's stall and the staff asked me to pay at the other side. Hahahaha.... I wanted to laugh if I thought about it! No wonder la we saw people eating something but it was not listed on our menu. So, being able to read and understand one language was very important. Here we both couldn't speak nor understanding their writing. Most of the time we used or body language to communicate with them ^^" and that's what happened lor hahaha.... :P
|Walked around Jeju town
After lunch, we had a walk to the Jungang Underground shopping center. It's indeed a clever idea to have shopping center underground. During winter, it's warm (by heater) and during summer, it's cold (by air-conditioner). Many things were sold down there. We had a walk nearby the area and went back to hotel to collect our luggage, then headed to the Jeju Airport.
|Jeju Airport - took Jeju Air back to Seoul
We bought some snacks before flying. At duty free shop, we found out that the Face Shop's masks were the cheapest sold. At town, a set of 10 packs of mask costs KRW10,000. 30 packs of mask costs KRW 30,000 and get 2 packs of mask for free. In the duty free shop, we could choose which type of mask at 10 packs per type. Buy 60 packs, free 20 packs. Moreover, a set of 10 packs of mask costs only KRW8,000 each! So, 80 packs of mask costs only KRW48,000, which means 1 pack of mask was only KRW600 (S$0.73) compared to the price at town at KRW937.50 (S$1.14). Wow!! That's so much different ya!! I bought 30 packs already on my first day in Seoul. Since it was a very good offer, I bought another 80 packs to be given as gifts back home. What a good bargain! In Singapore, there is Face Shop store too, and the price was crazily expensive!!! I think it's about S$2 plus each pack. So, if you visit Korea, buy the Face Shop products at Duty Free shop! Only that not all products were available. Some items were not sold there.
|Beautiful full moon with colorful clouds up in the sky :)
It's an hour and five minutes flight from Jeju to Seoul. In the airplane, our seat was facing directly to the moon. It's lunar 15th December today and the moon was full round and bright. We could see the transformation of the clouds color from time to time. It was so beautiful. Same like the stars, this time you didn't have to look up to see them, it's on the eye-level view. So glad meeting the beautiful moon up in the sky!! Feeling blessed! :)
|Outside Seoul Station at night :)
We took train from the Gimpo Airport to Seoul Station. We stopped by and enjoyed the night view outside the Seoul Station. The moon was still up there, shone beautifully. The weather was getting much better compared with the first day we reached Seoul. It was cold, but not that windy. Thank Buddha that we didn't have to suffer like the first day :) We went back to the same hostel and stayed at the same room. Home sweet home :)
|Spicy soup dinner ^^
After putting our luggage, we walked outside again to have our dinner. My hubby was desperately searching for Zha Jiang Mian or soya black bean paste noodle. He watched the Korean show, saw how nice the noddle was, and wanted to try it. However, we'd been browsing many restaurants but the Zha Jiang Mian was nowhere to be seen. So tonight, when we saw there was Zha Jiang Mian at the menu in one of the restaurants, we went inside. Too bad, it wasn't available. Therefore, we chose other type of noodles for dinner, a spicy seafood noodle with pork cutlet and a spicy dumpling noodle, plus fried dumpling or mangdu as side dish. It felt good to eat such a hot soup in a very cold weather like this. My hubby was sweating all over while eating the soup lolx!
|Our room at Backpackers INSIDE in Seoul, South Korea :)
Before going back to hostel, we bought mixed of fried chicken, rice cake and potato hash cooked with sweet sour paste and few pieces of tempura (sweet potato, dumpling, and octopus). We also bought some water, yoghurts and snacks at Lotte Mart. Jialat!! We ate supper almost everyday! Guarantee chop chop that I am gaining weight after only few days here!!!
Time to sleep now. Keep reading and let us continue our journey :) Btw, the Wi-fi isn't working. I'm typing this using the desktop. I will upload the photos tomorrow morning. Hopefully the Wi-fi will be working. Let's hope for the best!! Good night!!
Psstt.. I was finally managed to upload pictures here. However, I was tapping into other people's Wi-fi add ours was still not working ;P Better offline fast now. Have a great day everyone! Annyeong!!!

Commitment to change from the Tacoma Art Museum in response to the Die In at TAM
On December 30, 2015, members of the Tacoma Action Collective met with representatives from the Tacoma Art Museum's staff and board. Here's what happened:
Today we had the opportunity to sit down with staff and Board President of the Tacoma Art Museum, as a response to our Die In at TAM. It was a productive meeting.
We discussed the importance of our action, and the impact it has had within our communities. Not only has it shaped the discussion around the HIV/AIDS epidemic, but also the responsibility museums have to be inclusive.
The curator said that he feels like he failed us with the exhibit, and if he could go back and do it differently, he would. Reality is that he cannot go back. But, the museum is committed to making changes going forward.
Below are three of their commitments:
The Tacoma Art Museum has committed to working with the other venues that will be showing Art AIDS America, to include more Black artists. Tacoma Art Museum is also dedicated to continuing the discussion of the HIV/AIDS epidemic beyond when Art AIDS America closes on January 10, 2016.
The Tacoma Art Museum has committed to investing money and time in staff-wide diversity trainings, such as Undoing Institutionalized Racism.
The Tacoma Art Museum has committed to ongoing dialogues and actions to include Black people at every level. (Membership, community events, volunteers, staff, and the Board of Trustees).
We are committed to holding the Tacoma Art Museum accountable for their commitments and to engaging with them as a resource.
We want to remind everyone that our campaign is about more than one exhibition, more than one museum, and more than one city. Our action was about making sure that Black voices cease to be ignored in an effort to make systemic changes.
We are very grateful to the time and effort that the Tacoma Art Museum has dedicated to our community, and we are proud that they are setting an example for museums nationwide.
In solidarity,
Tacoma Action Collective
For more information about the Die In At TAM, see our press folder.
As the Tacoma Action Collective states, this is about more than one exhibition, one museum, one city. And this story continues to evolve. As Tacoma Art Museum moves forward and begins to act on their commitments, we will continue to check in with TAC to see how it goes.

Kiddos: Five Back to School Breakfast Ideas
Written by: Natalie Fieleke
This school year is a monumental one in the life of our little family. No longer will I hold my little guy's hand as we wave to my daughter boarding the school bus. It will be me wearing my sunglasses to cover my tears as I wave goodbye to both of my babies at the bus stop. Wasn't he an infant just last year and a little toddler on my hip last week? Mamas of Kindergartners, let's hold each other.
I'm going to be in poor control of my emotions for the next few weeks. This is just a fact and a warning to my husband. But there are some concrete things I can do to prepare. We've shopped for school supplies. We've purchased an overly large backpack for my small son that he insists on keeping. We've snuggled and read The Kissing Hand a hundred times. My son and I have talked how it's such exciting time but how we're both bittersweet on it – a little happy and a little sad – as we enter into this new routine. How it may be a little scary at first but how he is so brave, smart and great and making friends. How I will be praying for both my kids to be leaders in doing what's right and in reaching out to other kids who look like they may need a friend.
Basically, we're all okay but we're not. So I circle back around to that first morning at the bus stop. What can I do to prepare us to physically be on time when that yellow behemoth pulls up to steal my children away? Of course we'll be working our way back to normal bedtimes within the next few weeks. And we'll lay out their clothing the night before. And my inner foodie will cope by brainstorming what to feed my children that fateful morning. This could actually be useful to other mamas out there so I thought I'd share!
When talking about breakfast foods, we all have special preferences. Neither kids dive into a bowl of cereal with great gusto. My daughter won't eat oats in most forms. I'm lactose intolerant, and I usually stick to a paleo lifestyle with few processed foods. I'm concerned with feeding my family nourishing foods, but I don't try to limit my kids' dairy or carbohydrate intake based on my personal preferences. So yeah, we can be picky all around. I'm sure your family has food baggage too!
Here are five of our favorite healthy breakfasts that can be prepared ahead of time. I have a feeling these early mornings are going to be a liiiiittle painful for us all after a summer of staying up late and sleeping in.
Five Favorite Grab-And-Go Breakfasts for Back to School
An all-time favorite breakfast or snack at our house is Thriving Home's Power Ball Cookies. With oats, nut butter of your choice, nuts and dried fruit, I love that these little bites contain a good balance of carbs and protein to fill little bellies and keep them satisfied through the morning or as an after-school snack. And you can customize them to suit your family's preferences or make gluten-free by using g-free oats. So make a batch today and throw them in the freezer for that first week of school! While you're visiting Thriving Home, try Rachel and Polly's Brownie Baked Oatmeal. Again, another great and wholesome breakfast recipe you can make once and enjoy for several days!
A breakfast that my kids have enjoyed since they could feed themselves is the Banana Wheat Germ Muffins from Weelicious. I love that they're naturally sweetened with honey. I'll take Catherine's word that wheat germ has more nutrients per ounce than any other grain or vegetable. They're both healthy and delicious! They're also great with mini chocolate chips added into the batter or as they eyes in a smiley face. (Her recipe as written makes 12 full-size muffins, but I always use a mini muffin tin.)
Since I've transitioned to primarily paleo eating, making delicious paleo-friendly muffins has become a life goal. I have a thing for muffins, clearly. These paleo Banana Blueberry Muffins are a breakfast treat even my blueberry-hater daughter likes!
I always said I would never hide veggies in my kids' food to get them to eat vegetables. Well, I've learned to never say never. These Hidden Cauliflower Quiche incorporate my daughter's favorite food (clearly bacon) and also her not-so-favorite food, whipped cauliflower. What they don't know won't hurt them. Insert evil mom laugh.
And while this isn't a recipe, it's darn cute and super easy. Who can resist a piece of Brown Bear Toast?

Catherine Ashton, the European Union's foreign policy chief, has said Gaza's borders must open to enable the territory's battered economy to recover.
"The position of the EU is very clear. We want to see the opportunity for people to be able to move around freely, to see goods not only coming in to Gaza but exports coming out of Gaza," Ashton said yesterday during a visit to Palestinian territory.
Ashton is the most senior diplomat to visit Gaza since Israel announced earlier this month that it would relax its three-year blockade to allow most consumer goods into the coastal strip of 1.5 million Palestinians.
Israel continues to ban virtually all exports and restricts the import of badly needed construction supplies and raw materials for industry. And along with Egypt, it prevents most Gazans from travelling.
Ashton, who was due to meet Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, later yesterday, said she would take her argument to the Israeli government "as well as of course making sure that we're putting the right kind of pressure to the international community".
Other voices in the international community have also risen lately to call for the end of Israel's Gaza restrictions.
A coalition of 18 European aid and human-rights groups, including Amnesty International UK, issued a statement yesterday saying the EU "must insist on the full lifting of the blockade of Gaza, not just its easing".
The foreign ministers of 10 southeast Asian countries have also called for unimpeded aid access to Gaza and "strongly condemned" the May 31 Israeli military raid on an aid flotilla bound for the territory, according to a draft document obtained by the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency.
Nine activists died in the raid, which sparked an international outcry.
The AFP obtained the document ahead of the annual meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), which begins in Vietnam on Monday.
"We reiterated the call for the unimpeded access of humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people in Gaza in order to help alleviate their plight," the document said.
In their draft, the ministers call for a resumption of negotiations for "a final, just and comprehensive settlement with the realisation of two states, Israel and Palestine".
Along with Indonesia, the most populous Muslim nation in the world, Asean includes Muslim-majority nations Malaysia and Brunei.
Some members of Netanyahu's administration used Ashton's visit to fire back at Israel's critics.
"(Israel) did everything it could as far as the humanitarian aid to the civilian population of Gaza is concerned," Yudi Edelstein, minister of public affairs and the diaspora, said.
Yuval Shteinitz, the minister of finance, said that "some Europeans tend to ignore the real character of the Hamas regime in Gaza. This is the most brutal regime, the Hamas regime in Gaza, on the face of earth. In Gaza, there are more executions per capita than in any other country in the world."
Ashton was not scheduled to meet with any Hamas representatives during her three-day tour of Gaza.
On Friday, she held a joint news conference with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.
"What we all are looking for is to end the suffering of our people in Gaza by lifting the siege and, once again, by having a policy of openness that is clearly defined and one that is implemented in the way that it is announced. What we do not want to see is actually old policy with a new name," Fayyad said.
Catherine Ashton, the European Union's foreign policy chief, has said Gaza's borders must open to enable the territory's battered economy to recover.

Aug 21 (Reuters) - Money managers raised their bets on rising Brent crude prices in the latest week to the highest level in four months, data from the InterContinental Exchange (ICE) showed on Monday.
Speculators increased net long Brent positions to 418,912 contracts in the week to Aug. 15, the highest since the week ending April 18.
Their view diverges from that of money managers investing in U.S. crude, who scaled back bullish bets in the two major NYMEX and ICE markets in the same week, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) data showed on Friday.
ICE speculators, however, reduced bets on higher gasoil prices for the first time since the week ending June 27, cutting net long positions to 134,813 contracts, according to the data released on Monday. (Reporting by Karolin Schaps; Editing by Susan Fenton)

The test is conducted in compliance with the Swiss standard SNV 195651 for the determination of nasal nuisance through textiles.
For a period of 15 hours, a sample of 144 cm2 is stored in an air-sealed desiccator (volume about 2l) at 37 °C and 50% relative humidity. In the process, the humidity is adjusted by means of a saturated magnesium nitrate solution (approx. 100 ml).
Under these conditions, at least seven test persons will subsequently open the desiccator for a brief moment and assess the intensity of the odour perceived. The intensity of the odour is graded by means of a scale from 1 (no odour formation) to 5 (very strong odour formation). When a test person has made his or her assessment, the desiccator must be sealed again and stored under the conditions indicated for at least another 15 minutes. When the test has been completed, the desiccator is left open at 37 °C until its interior is odour-free; if necessary, the salt solution must be renewed
1 = no odour 2 = not unpleasant 3 = slightly unpleasant 4 = unpleasant 5 = very unpleasant
6 = extremly unpleasant
The mean value of the grades for the odour intensity must be a grade < 4.

Twitch Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi everyone o/
First of all sorry for my bad english :p
So i'll start with twitch than i'll make other guides for other champs but i need to test some things.
Well twitch if you read the tips he is WEAK on HEALTH it means take alot of damage, cause many ppl think twitch may start a fight and thats WRONG! Twitch job is to appear right after the fight starts so he can help, if he starts a fight he gonna die in a few seconds and no suprise element you have now..
Masterys; This build is for great dmg and to lvl fast, its what you need!
Now skills; you have to balance the skills you want how the game goes on, if you are going great(3kills below lvl 8) its ok u asap on expunge and let the Ulti for later cause you have advantage by now, if not i'll adevice to go for Ulti on lvl 6 could help your team on get the first kills.
The spells i use is Clarity and Exhaust or Ignite for this reasons; With no mana you can't go stealth or do dmg = can't do nothing so this will keep you very active early and mid and later you are always there to help your team and besides that you could restore mana to a alied don't forget that. The second one Exhaust, i know i have slow but see this like an escape ability too!! Remember, your ambush NEEDS 1.25s to make you invisible and if you are taking dmg will take much more time than 1.25s so you do like this -> ambush + exhaust and bye bye xD Atention this only works if your against one champ if you see that you gonna be gank and theres no escape just try to dmg the most one target(but this should NOT happen with twitch).
Now the Items, i have seen many builds like you and try everything. If your geting kills you gonna get money fast so you wanna get AS first priority then AD, the more fast you hit more fast they will die remmeber that ;)
As you can see my items order ill get AS first, one thing if your facing champs with a bit of armor go for last whisper first instead of Zeal or phantom dancer will provide you AS as well and the 40% armor pen + Runes its nice.
If you see that they continue to go for armor after the Last whisper you can buy Black cleaver that gives you a nice AD and the armor pen. After that you buy Phantom and then Infinity or bloodthrister i'll prefer bloodthrister cause its stacks until you die so will give more AD and more lifesteal + 15% malady very good! But Infinity its nice too cause gives crit more phantom and runes its very good too!
I just don't waste money on BloodRazor cause the items to do it don't provide you nothing, only the 40%AS so i just its a waste of money.
UPDATE* Recently i had tryed more builds for the rat and i made a few changes that change my output dmg.
The changes are, you get malady first for the AS + lifesteal and the tinie bonus next to that get bloodrazor, i know i said is waste of money and it is if you wanna go for the build i suggest but if not go for bloodrazor and then last whisper, and 3 items with AD could be Infinity, bloodthirsters or black cleaver if they have heavy tanks.
WHY BLOODRAZOR YOU ASK!? Its simple the FINAL item "bloosrazor" provides what you need and extra armor is welcome but the major thing is the ad + as + bonus! Yes i tryed with this items; Malady,Bloodrazo + (3xBloodthirsters or Infinity + 2xbloodthirsters or Black cleave + x2bloodthirsters or even Infinity + black cleaver + bloodthirster.)*
Conclusion; The rat must help team to gank and gank yourself too that will provide you money to buy what you need and get you one step higher than your opponents.
Any questions or doubts just say ;)

Baseball Winter Meetings: Red Sox Will Meet with the Agent for Oswalt and WilsonDecember 3, 2011
With baseball's winter meetings poised to begin in Dallas on Monday, the rumor mill is already heating up.
Michael Silverman of The Boston Herald is reporting that the Boston Red Sox have scheduled a meeting with agent Bob Garber. Garber is the agent who represents both C.J. Wilson and Roy Oswalt. Oswalt and Wilson are two of the highest profile free agent pitchers on the market this winter.
The Red Sox promise to be among the most active of teams in the coming weeks. The recent hiring of Bobby Valentine as manager brings a final completion of the restructuring of the general manager and managerial position.
With those positions filled, the Red Sox can begin the process of trying to find answers for the numerous questions raised both by the poor play last September and the spate of rumors involving clubhouse discord and apathy that emerged in the aftermath of the team's collapse. Add to that the departure of veteran closer Jonathan Papelbon and an injury to John Lackey that will require him to miss the entire 2012 season, and the Red Sox have plenty of work laid out in front of them.
Oswalt and Wilson would both be high-profile and high-cost solutions to the pitching problems that plagued the Red Sox down the stretch in 2011, as well as throughout parts of the 2010 and 2009 seasons.
The Red Sox starting rotation has been a mysterious mix of both talent and inconsistency over the past few seasons. Talented pitchers such as John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka seem to under perform. Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz have problems staying consistently healthy and even Jon Lester was rumored to be fatigued down the stretch last season.
Under former GM Theo Epstein, high-profile, big-ticket free agents were rarely the answer to when it came to problems on the Red Sox. Bringing either of these pitchers would elicit an avalanche of well-deserved skepticism.
Oswalt has had a very good career, but he's never pitched in the American League. His health has been an issue the past few seasons and his walks and hits allowed were both higher than his career averages last season.
Wilson would bring a different set of questions with him to Boston. While his numbers as a starting pitcher have been quite good, his overall body of work is only two seasons. He's had difficulty pitching in the postseason and pitching in the American League West means he gets to face some of the American League's weakest offenses frequently. Whether Wilson is good or not, there's no question at all that New York, Toronto and Baltimore are tougher teams to face off against with regularity than Oakland, Los Angeles and Seattle are.
There's almost no question that the Red Sox will have some new faces in the starting rotation next year. Oswalt or Wilson would both represent high-profile and high-cost solutions. On the plus side, both pitchers are free agents, which means that signing them will not require the Red Sox to part with any of their promising young players.
The Winter Meetings don't start for another two days, but the Red Sox are already showing a willingness to wheel and deal.
It should be an interesting week.

A health workers strike continues in Kenya for the fourth consecutive day. Operations at public hospitals countrywide are reportedly paralyzed as health workers push for better terms.
Patients continued to be unattended at public hospitals apart from Kenyatta national hospital – whose health professionals are under a different union.
Members of the Kenya Health Professionals Society vowed to continue with their strike and peaceful picketing until the government improved their terms and conditions of service.
They also made a fresh demand that assistant Medical Services Minister Kazungu Kambi apologize to them for what they described as "abusive and derogatory" language used in reference to the striking workers.
The [Kenya] government has described the strike as illegal and said the government cannot afford a pay rise.
Now civil servants have threatened to join the health workers strike if government doesn't resolve the dispute by Monday.
"There is … paralysis in the entire government [health] services across the country," said David Ohito, regional news editor at the Standard newspaper.
The government insists that there is no budgetary allocation for this item, he said, "the country is kind of broke. We see no respite in the near future."
"We have accident victims who cannot be attended to. The situation is really bad," said Ohito.
He cited an accident in Bungoma, western Kenya, where primary school children were involved in a motor accident. Eleven died but about 40 were badly injured, taken to a public hospital where they got no attention and some bled to death.
By week end, the government seemed unmoved by the suffering of thousands of patients in public hospitals all over the country who were now depending on their relatives to assist them.
It is not known how many people have died since the strike started as even accident and emergency services were not available.
Declaring the strike illegal doesn't seem to be helpful, said Ohito, "It is time for them [government] to agree how the [health] workers get paid better as a way to make them work dedicatedly."
Without that, he added, "we are going to see a lot of crisis in hospitals. They may just grind to a halt and snowball into a national health crisis.
Health workers join the national broadcaster - Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) - workers that have been on strike since Wednesday when they vowed to remain out of their work stations to protest failure by the government to implement their 500 percent pay increase deal.
KBC workers demonstrated on the streets of Nairobi on Sunday seeking audience with Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Broadcast operations remained paralyzed at the State broadcaster, with the TV station and Radio not airing news bulletins.

PETA To Obama: Stop The "Outdated" Annual Turkey Pardon
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals asking the White House to end the annual turkey pardoning ritual.
In a letter, the animal rights group argues the annual White House ceremony "makes light of the mass slaughter of some 46 million gentle, intelligent birds." It also says the annual event "portrays the United States president as being in some sort of business partnership with the turkey-killing industry."
"You understand so well that African-Americans, women, and members of the LGBT community have been poorly served throughout history, and now I am asking you to consider other living beings who are ridiculed, belittled, and treated as if their sentience, feelings, and very natures count for nothing," wrote PETA President Ingrid Newkirk in the letter.
The letter also objects to the idea that the birds could be pardoned, arguing "they are not guilty of anything other than being born into a world of prejudice."Click here for reuse options!

Meet The Family
MARY ROCCA, FOUNDER & VINTNER. Mary is a dynamic renaissance woman who embraces the many facets of her life - from family, to agriculture, to shopkeeper, to vintner. Mary grew up in Santa Rosa, California. A star student, she graduated from Boston University's School of Dentistry and was one of the first women to earn accreditation from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. In Boston, she met her husband, Dr. Eric Grigsby and moved with him to Minnesota where he trained at the Mayo Clinic. They moved to Napa in 1989 and she opened her own practice in 1990. In 1996, she began to search for vineyard property and fulfill her dream of opening a winery. "Eric and I have long valued agriculture and land and knew that once we moved to the Napa Valley we wanted to become grape growers," she says.
ERIC GRIGSBY, MD, CO-FOUNDER. Mary's handsome husband, Eric, has been by her side since they began searching for their first vineyard. A nationally recognized pain management physician, he also holds the challenging roles of father of four, and professional toast-maker at the Grigsby-Rocca family dinner table.
Eric played a vital role in the conversion of the Grigsby Vineyard to sustainably-farmed land after its purchase in 1999. He lent his planning skills to the family business again in 2002, designing the Collinetta Vineyard and picking out the clones of Cabernet Sauvignon to plant there.
Eric echoes many of Mary's sentiments about doing everything with a drive to be the very best. "One would expect Mary and me to make good wine because we come from such an objective and scientific point of view. Just as in our medical practices, we want to do the best we can possibly do. In medicine, you can talk all you want, but once you get in the operating room, it doesn't matter what you say, it's how you perform. In wine, what really matters is what's in the bottle."
If you've ever had a bottle of Rocca wine, then you may already know a little about Mary & Eric's children: Their names are embossed on the label. Here's a little more about this dynamic bunch:
CAMILLE, 28, was born in Minnesota shortly before Mary and Eric made the move to warmer climes, settling, of course, in Napa. The oldest of the four kids, she remembers her mom's transition into the wine business most clearly, and the excitement of wandering the vineyard rows they now called their own. She now lives in San Francisco and is working on a Design Strategy Masters of Buisiness. She loves bringing close friends to Napa to enjoy her very favorite thing: A long, relaxing evening at the dinner table, enjoying glass (after glass, after glass) of Rocca wine, and good conversation with those she loves the most.
NATE, 26, lives in Santa Monica, California, where he attends college. At a young age, Nate found his place in the Grigsby-Rocca kitchen, learning to craft the family's holiday dinners under his grandma Dorothy's careful eye. He has since firmly taken the culinary reins at family gatherings, sharply eyeing those who would intrude upon his territory as he prepares his own inventive takes on classic dishes. The rest of the family suspects his favorite part of the evening is watching his sisters clear the dishes, while he relaxes with another glass of wine - a privilege they're hard-pressed to complain about, after another delicious meal prepared by their favorite (and only) brother.
MARIELLE, 25, graduated from Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland with a Masters in Economics. The perfectionist of the Grigsby-Rocca group, she has brought home perfect report cards since grade school, a habit she has no intention of stopping now. Majoring in Business and Economics, she was one of only several in her class to earn the school's most prestigious academic award, a 5-year scholarship to continue her studies at Trinity. In addition to being the resident smarty-pants, she is also the family fashionista, pulling off her many academic accomplishments in high style.
GIOVANNA, 22, just graduated from the University of Virginia with Economics and Environmental Sciences double major. Giovi, as the rest of the family calls her, is the outdoor expert of the family, spending weeks of every year backpacking through the great outdoors. A music enthusiast, she makes sure to catch as many shows as she can. Particular favorites are The Avett Brothers, The Black Keys (both of whom she'll be seeing at this year's Bottle Rock Napa Valley), and Railroad Earth.

If a neighbour of yours with dementia had gone missing and you were free to help search for them in your immediate vicinity, and maybe save their life, would you be prepared to help? If the answer is yes, and you have a mobile phone, please consider registering for the new, innovative, scheme called Neighbourhood Return.
Neighbourhood Return, is a voluntary scheme independent from Thames Valley Police, run by Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network. The scheme needs volunteers in your area. Neighbourhood Return is looking for volunteers to help find people with dementia should they ever get lost. This may never happen, and even if you do get a call, if you are not available, you just have to text back 'no'. We know people aren't available all the time, which is why we want as many people as possible to register.
For more information about the Neighbourhood Return Scheme and how it works, visit their website,www.ourturn.org.uk.

The long-running feud between Asin and Mukesh Bhatt has reignited, with Asin claiming that she turned down a film with the producer.
However, Bhatt denied that he had ever offered a role to the Malayalam actress, Mid Day reports.
"We don't work with 'stars'. If you look at our films, Bipasha Basu, Kangna Ranaut and Jacqueline Fernandez were all newcomers when they worked with us," he said. "So there's no question of working with Asin."
Bhatt claimed that Asin's PR company is inserting false stories into the media following his recent comment that she has no future in Bollywood.
"I never offered Asin a film, and I don't intend to," he added.
In 2009, Asin said that she felt the media were deliberately targetting her.
She is currently filming Sajid Khan's ensemble comedy Housefull 2.

More jobs under threat at ClydeUnion Pumps in Glasgow
ClydeUnion Pumps is facing a fresh wave of job losses after its American owner SPX announced plans to make 160 staff redundant from its plant in Glasgow.
The move comes a year after about 90 jobs were shed from the engineering firm as part of a restructuring drive.
SPX said the latest step followed an assessment of "potential synergies" with ClydeUnion, which it acquired in 2011.
A total of 730 staff are currently employed at the plant in Cathcart.
In a statement, the North Carolina-based company said: "As is customary with SPX's approach with all acquisitions and integrations, we are actively working with SPX ClydeUnion to assess and identify potential synergies with SPX and business improvements that will increase our ability to service our customers.
Formal consultation
"As part of this process, SPX ClydeUnion has entered into formal redundancy consultation with both trade union and employee representatives in Glasgow.
"Over the next 45 days, SPX ClydeUnion intends to formally consult with trade union and employee representatives regarding the company's plans to reduce its Glasgow facility headcount by approximately 160 positions across various functions."
It added: "Following this assessment period, all impacted employees will be notified and provided with outplacement support services."
The Unite union said it would be meeting with the company on Wednesday to find out more details.
A spokesman added: "We will be trying to minimise any attempt by the company to impose any compulsory redundancies."
ClydeUnion was formed in 2007 through the acquisition and integration of several pump manufacturers on both sides of the Atlantic.
SPX bought the pumping solutions business from Scottish engineering entrepreneur Jim McColl in 2011 for £750m.

How To Get The Impossible Wikipedia Backlink And A Boatload of Traffic
Wikipedia used to be the holy grail of backlink sources. Most marketers dropped it when Wikipedia went "nofollow," but many marketers (who were smart) leaned in to have a closer look at what was really going on over at Wikipedia.
It's a good thing Wikipedia went "nofollow." Can you imagine what it would look like today with 10,000 spammy backlinks coming from just one page? After "nofollow" scared off all of the lame spam artists, real marketers began developing a plan to hitch a ride on the savoriest gravy train on the Internet. You see, Wikipedia draws in a lot of traffic. Some Wiki pages pull in hundreds of thousands of visitors per month.
That could be a goldmine for you if you're not keep on buying website traffic, or you are an utter failure with pay-per-click ads. They key to getting a Wikipedia link is to add real value to the Wiki pages.
It's all too common for newbies to go to a well-established page, make a few edits and then drop a link. Wrong. That link will disappear in about 2 seconds. Some Internet marketers will make somewhat major edits and drop a link back to a page on their site and then realize that it sticks - for a while. Editors on Wikipedia can be, shall we say, difficult to persuade.
Difficult is probably putting it mildly. The way you please an editor is quality. No article spinning, no thin content, no obvious sales pitching. You also can't add legit value of one or two sentences and expect a backlink to your site to stick. You have to make your site pretty difficult to match in terms of research. In fact, it helps if you have original research on the website. it's no guarantee that an editor will erase your link, but it's a better guarantee than you'll get by spamming the Wiki.
Make sure you look on Wikipedia before developing quality content. If the page is actually a quality page, it'll have some reference links. Those links give you important information as to what the editors for that page will let fly. Time to go do a search for your niche on Wikipedia.
Once you've found a decent article, scroll to the resources section. Check out the links in that section. What you're looking for are thin resources. If the page is light on resources, you've got yourself a winner. Read over the article on the page and try to pick out any spots where a resource would be needed, or a section seems to be missing. Use ubersuggest to help you fill in the blanks on the Wiki article.
Once you've found an article in need of some TLC, go forth to Google and do your research. Using advanced search strings, you can piece together research from all over the web that you can cite in the section of the Wiki article you're going to improve upon.
Don't just submit your additions, however, and be done with it. Make sure that you're creating information that isn't easily available from anywhere else. When you do drop a link back to your site, make sure you market that Wikipedia page. Spend some time with it. Lots of people go to Wikipedia. The only way for you to get traffic to it is to get it ranked in the search engines. not that hard to do, but it does take some effort.
Go forth and approach websites that are linking to Wikipedia's popular pages in your niche. If you've done a good job developing that Wiki page, it'll be an easy sell to get a backlink to that page. By the way, this is a simple way for you to get around asking your direct competitors for a backlink. If they promote "your" Wikipedia page, then they'll give you traffic day and night and be totally fine with it.
To get backlink prospects, you'll have to scour twitter, blogger directories, and probably do a lot of grunt work. It will be worth it for the click traffic alone. Click traffic? Yes, you will be amazed at the click traffic you will get from Wikipedia. People really do click through those resource links.

Twins manhandle Mariners
SEATTLE -- Before Wednesday's game against the struggling Minnesota Twins, the Seattle Mariners shuffled their rotation to make sure that their top three starters lined up for the weekend series with Oakland A's.
Twins manhandle Mariners
SEATTLE -- Before Wednesday's game against the struggling Minnesota Twins, the Seattle Mariners shuffled their rotation to make sure that their top three starters lined up for the weekend series with Oakland A's.
The Mariners also announced that they would use a string of relievers to pitch the finale of the Minnesota series Thursday.
The Twins then went out and reminded the Mariners that they shouldn't be overlooked.
Minnesota's dormant offense came alive in a big way, erupting for an 8-1 win over Seattle.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said afterward that his team wasn't motivated by the Mariners' decisions to focus their pitching efforts on the Oakland series.
"They have a plan, and we were just trying to do our thing tonight," Gardenhire said. "We finally put some runs on the board. We strung together some hits, some good at-bats, some walks, and we got some big hits when we had to."
Minnesota designated hitter Kendrys Morales drove in three runs, and first baseman Chris Colabello hit a two-run double in the second inning.
The Twins (41-49) won back-to-back games for the first time since June 22-23.
Minnesota's Kyle Gibson (8-7) became the fifth pitcher during the past five games played at Safeco Field to come out of a start without allowing a run. He threw six shutout innings, allowing seven hits while striking out three.
"Pitching with a lead definitely helped me tonight," Gibson said. "I didn't have my best stuff tonight."
The Mariners (49-42) had 12 hits but didn't get a run across until the seventh inning, when second baseman Robinson Cano snapped the team's scoreless streak of 16 innings with a two-out, RBI single. Seattle has just seven runs over the past six games, going 2-4 in that span.
Cano had three hits for Seattle.
The Mariners ended up using four pitchers after announcing earlier in the day that they would use reliever Tom Wilhelmsen as a starter Thursday. Seattle moved ace Felix Hernandez back one day to start Friday against Oakland, and the plan was to patch together Wilhelmsen and a few other relievers to get through the Twins on Thursday.
"All in all, our bullpen is in pretty good shape," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "We came through it pretty good."
The Twins jumped out to a 5-0 lead after two innings, then expanded the margin to 8-0 in the fourth.
Seattle starter Roenis Elias (7-8) allowed seven runs (six earned) on seven hits in 3 1/3 innings to match the shortest start of his young career.
"Just no command," McClendon said. "The best of us have (that problem) from time to time. He has been in a funk his last couple of outings with no command of his fastball."
The Twins scored more than seven runs in a game for the first time since star first baseman Joe Maurer went on the disabled list July 2.
Morales drove in runs on each of his first three at-bats. He hit an RBI double to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead in the first inning, a sacrifice fly to cap off the Twins' four-run fourth and a run-scoring ground ball that got under the mitt of Seattle first baseman Logan Morrison with the bases loaded in the fourth.
Elias struggled from the outset, particularly during a second inning that saw all nine Minnesota hitters come to the plate. The first five Twins reached base in that frame, with Colabello knocking in two for a 3-0 lead. Center fielder Sam Fuld and Morales added RBIs as Minnesota piled on the rookie left-hander for a 5-0 advantage.
After Elias left the game in the fourth, Morales hit a ball that looked as if it would result in an easy out at first base. However, it went into the right field corner to score two runs, one of them unearned. Left fielder Josh Willingham added a sacrifice fly to give the Twins an 8-0 advantage.
NOTES: Seattle optioned RHP Taijuan Walker to Triple-A. Manager Lloyd McClendon said Walker was sent down to make two starts for Tacoma during the break. ... Mariners RHP Hisashi Iwakuma will start Saturday against Oakland, with RHP Chris Young pitching Sunday. Iwakuma takes the game that Walker would have started. The shuffle gives Seattle a 1-2 combination of RHP Felix Hernandez and Iwakuma in back-to-back games coming out of the All-Star break. ... The Mariners promoted RHP Stephen Pryor from Triple-A. The 24-year-old reliever spent most of the 2013 season on the disabled list after surgery to repair a torn lat muscle. ... Twins LHP Kris Johnson will be called up from Triple-A Rochester to make Friday's start at Colorado.
