The word Kia means "to arise to the world from Asia." The company is a new entry into the world of vehicle making. Hailing from Seoul, Kia is South Korea's second largest automobile maker behind Hyundai. With 1.4 million vehicles sold in 2010, this sporty, affordability based manufacturer came a long way from its early days.
Kia Origins
Founded in 1944, Kia began its existence making steel tubing and bicycle parts. This led to the manufacturing of Korea's first domestically produced bicycle in the early 1950s, which then led to the first motor scooter, the C100. In 1952, Kia changed its name from Kyungsung Precision Industry, and it started building motorcycles in 1957, followed by three-wheeled trucks in 1962 and finally cars in 1974. The company opened the Sohari Plant, Korea's first integrated automotive assembly plant in 1973. The company then started to manufacture the first internal combustion gasoline engine in Korea, and soon thereafter the country's first domestically produced passenger vehicle, the Brisa. Toward the end of the 1970s, Kia's technology was used to manufacture vehicles such as the Fiat 132 and the Peugeot 604.
Kia in America
Starting in 1986, Kia partnered with U.S. auto giant Ford and began producing vehicles derived from another Ford auto partner, Mazda. These models were sold domestically in Korea, as well as in other countries. In 1987, the Kia Pride, which was based on the Mazda 121, was sold in the U.S. and Australia as the Ford Festiva. The Kia Avella became the Ford Aspire upon reaching the American market.
Kia began selling cars under its own name in the U.S. market in 1992, beginning with the Sephia. Initially available from four dealerships in Portland, Ore., the company grew its network one region at a time. The next vehicle was the Sportage, an entry into the popular SUV market. But, in 1997, further plans to expand were hampered by a bankruptcy filing, which resulted from funding pressures created by the Asian Financial Crisis. Post-bankruptcy, Hyundai acquired a 51 percent share of Kia Motors by outbidding the Ford Motor Company. Subsequent divestments have reduced Hyundai's shares to less than 50 percent of Kia Motors' holdings.
After the union with Hyundai, Kia expanded into the European market with production in Germany. Making right- and left-hand drive versions of the Sportage for different countries. By 2009, Kia had established its name in Britain and continued to expand into other areas.
In 2010, Kia opened a plant in Georgia, marking the start of U.S.-based production. The move came after 15 straight years of market share increase, despite filing bankruptcy and takeover attempts. This impressive feat is indicative of a bright future for the one time bicycle maker.
Kia Models
Lately, Kia's fortunes have continued to improve as the merger with Hyundai provides continued benefits. Overall refinement and build quality, which were once points of complaint, have improved noticeably. Another previously perceived weak point was reliability, which also improved. The company instituted a substantial warranty program, which caused a real increase in consumer confidence.
All this means that Kia now has a full lineup of coupes, crossovers, commercial vehicles, and sedans that are affordable, well-made and reliable. The brand promotes great value and performance while retaining sporty characteristics.
The company boasts a current lineup of 16 concept cars, thereby backing its claim that design is the most important facet of future endeavors. That's not to say that this Marque will stray too far away from its roots. Since the beginning, Kia emphasized affordable and well-equipped vehicles that are priced below competing models. The company managed to grow while keeping value a priority and not losing sight of the importance of technology and sportiness.
Starting in 2008, fuel-efficient electric hybrids were added to the Kia lineup. These include Soul Hybrid, Cee'd Hybrid, Ray plug-in Hybrid, and Spectra. In addition, Kia offers several commercial vehicles including the K4000s, AM928, and Granbird. The company now offers a full line of passenger cars, SUVs, and vans for just about every need, style, and taste.
The company's new emphasis for future growth is to focus on design. By hiring award winning designers and vowing to make the look of Kia vehicles more distinctive, it sets a direction for future moves. One of the new designers noted that when one sees a Kia on the road, it is impossible to tell if it's a Japanese car or a Korean car. Making sure that people can tell that the vehicle is a Kia at first sight is now a primary focus.

Each year at Northern Lights school they have a holiday feast where everyone pre-orders hot lunch and gets a traditional turkey meal the day before Thanksgiving. Then they do a full-on parade to celebrate, asking children to dress up as "early American historical figures" and prepare a speech about their character.
I know, I know, sounds like something out of the 1950s (or maybe The Crucible), but it's really kind of sweet and I love how it emphasizes history, patriotism, creativity, public speaking, all those good things. Only problem is: the costume. Because the first thing I want to do right after Halloween is worry about Thanksgiving costumes, right?
Well the boys are easy. Everyone wants to be Squanto. EVERYONE. I think it's the naked savage appeal or something but every year half the boys show up dressed as the world's most famous Indian (next to Tanto of course--"Happy Thanksgiving Kemosabe") and it's hard to argue when all you need is some Clinique war paint.
They make the kids get approval for their Historical Figure first, mostly because everyone from Harry Houdini to Bono to Little Debbie have been used as inspiration. My rebellious nature has secretly dreamed of dressing Grace up as Hester Prynne complete with a red letter "A+" emblazoned on her chest or maybe one of the boys as John Wilkes Boothe just to see what happens. Apparently they have rules to protect children from people like me.
At any rate, back when I had MUCH more time on my hands I made Grace a pilgrim costume which lasted her several years which is now doing double time for Lillian who gets her first turn as The World's Cutest Puritan.
The thing that makes this pilgrim dress perfect is that it works with a terrific plot line with a surprise ending. Mary Chilton was a child on the Mayflower voyage who--legend has it--vowed to be the first person to set foot in the New World so when the ship got close to land she jumped overboard and waded ashore. She survived to a ripe old age with a plethora of offspring and is buried in downtown Boston. I question the ability of a non-swimming Puritan girl wearing 25 yards of sodden homespun to survive a dip in frigid New England autumn waters but who's going to argue with sacred family history?
But regardless, when the girls dress up as Mary Chilton and tell the story, ending with the punch line that she's their 14th great-grandmother they win Best Supporting Actress in a Historical Drama every time. Even Hester Prynne couldn't top that.
Think you're a Turkey Trivia Buff? Test your poultry prowess here and let me know how you did. Don't worry, you probably beat me--by a lot.

Despite a couple of minor tussles over baby-doll strollers, four children not used to much interaction outside of their families played, sang and colored together at a new playgroup offered by OSF Saint James-John W. Albrecht Medical Center.
The playgroup, Active Beginnings, is being held twice a month for children ages birth to 5 and Thursday was the group's first gathering.
"I thought it went really well," said Melissa Pina, a developmental therapist with the Medical Center's Rehabilitation Department, which is overseeing the program. "We had a nice range of ages of children and they really did very well together," she said.
The Rehab department is providing this program on the second and fourth Thursday of every month through a grant from the Livingston County 377 Board. There is no cost to attend the 75-minute gatherings, but parents or caregivers must attend as well.
"The focus of the playgroup is to teach children developmentally appropriate fine gross and motor skills, communication skills and socialization, while providing a support group for parents of small children," Pina said.
"When families arrived, we let the children get to know each other while we asked the parents to fill out a survey on developmental topics they want to learn more about. Looking over the surveys, concerns expressed included 'picky eater' and 'sharing.' Once a month we will have personnel who can address those topics come in and talk to the parents. The other meeting will just focus on the children and parents interacting, mainly through play."
Becky Dotterer, an occupational therapy assistant, is conducting the program with Pina at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 210 S. Deerfield Rd.
"The church has been so gracious to help us and this room is obviously child-friendly," said Pina, noting the carpeting, toys and children-sized table and chairs. "It's perfect because it's cozy enough for interaction, yet big enough to give everyone a little space," she said.
That was evident as Dotterer and Pina used a children's learning CD, playing a counting song that required hand coordination before playing a "walking" song that parents participated in alongside their children.
"That was a lot of fun and the children and parents both engaged, which is the objective. And it was still play and lots of fun. Play is where children learn a lot of skills, but it's still having fun."
During two walking songs, parents and children, except one who was a little sleepy and was instead carried by his mom, walked forward and backward, tip-toed, hopped, ran and stomped around the room in a circle.
By the time the song ended, parents and children were smiling and ready to sit and listen to a couple of storybooks read by Pina and Dotterer.
A few minutes later, the children were grouped around a long table ready to use fine-motor skills needed for coloring.
"This is just great," said Vanessa Sheppard of Odell, who was there with the youngest child of the group, Kamryn. "He's an only child and he needs to learn to share and play well with others. This is really the only time he's had with a group of kids, so I'm looking forward to these. I think it will also be a good resource for us parents," she said.
David Naretto of Pontiac took his two sons, Jaxson, 5, and Gavin, 22 months, and said he was learning some new things as he had a chance to really sit and observe his sons.
"It's nice to watch them, and also to join in their play," said Naretto, adding that he and his wife, Cassandra, will be sharing playgroup attendance.
"The boys obviously have each other and they have a younger brother, Lucas, 10 months, at home. But it's still nice for them to have other children to play with and learn from," Naretto said.
Sarah Krueger of Pontiac brought daughter, Nevaeh, 3, to the group as a way to broaden her daughter's social skills.
"She's an only child and I think this will help her interact with kids more. She has Sunday school at church, but I think this is going to help even more," Krueger said. She added that with the current economy, the free part of the program was also very appealing.
Pina stated there's enough room for one or two more families to sign up to join this playgroup, and inquires can be made by calling 815-842-4584.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots head into the NFL draft with their usual needs at wide receiver and in the secondary.
Maybe Bill Belichick will make better choices than he did in his other 13 years as their coach.
He'll have only five chances, the fewest picks in team history, barring trades, so there could be increased emphasis on signing players who don't get chosen in the three-day draft that ends Saturday.
"They're always part of the equation," Patriots director of player personnel director Nick Caserio said. "We're going to be adding 20 more players to the team before we go to training camp. That could come from draft picks. It could come from undrafted free agents. Whether or not they play a larger role this year, possibly. There are still street free agents that are available. You're always looking at a multitude of ways to put your team together."
Two free agents, defensive lineman Justin Francis and running back Brandon Bolden, made contributions as rookies last year. BenJarvus Green-Ellis led the Patriots in rushing for two seasons after not being drafted and before signing with the Cincinnati Bengals a year ago.
But drafted players have a better shot at productive pro careers, even if that often hasn't been the case with the Patriots. Five of the eight defensive backs they picked in the first four rounds during the past six years are no longer with the team.
At receiver, the Patriots have chosen four in the last seven years. Jeremy Ebert, a seventh-round pick in 2012, is the only one who remains. And with the departure of their top two receivers from last season, Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd, the Patriots need help at that position.
So how can they avoid the same mistakes?
"As a team, we look at everything that we do: on the field, off the field, strength and conditioning, draft, etc.," Caserio said. "We're always trying to find ways to improve our systems and make them better, whatever it may be."
The Patriots added veteran receivers Danny Amendola, Donald Jones and Michael Jenkins in the offseason as new targets for Tom Brady. But of the eight players they drafted at that position over the last 10 years, only Julian Edelman has made an impact, only as a backup.
Wide receivers who could be a good fit include DeAndre Hopkins of Clemson, Keenan Allen of California and Markus Wheaton of Oregon State. In the secondary, they might choose among cornerbacks Xavier Rhodes of Florida State and Jamar Taylor of Boise State, and safeties Matt Elam of Florida and Eric Reid of LSU.
The Patriots also could use a speedy defensive end and might consider Damontre Moore of Texas A&M.
The secondary is considered a strong position in this draft.
"One of the things that's probably unique about that position is you've seen a few more players have actually played multiple positions. Some of them have played safety, have played corner, some have played the nickel position, like the Matt Elam kid," Caserio said. "You're looking for guys that are versatile, can play multiple spots. Some of those players have played in more passing-oriented divisions and conferences."
The receiving and offensive line groups also have good depth, Caserio said.
But the Patriots have just one pick in each of the first, second and third rounds and two in the seventh, the 29th choice in each.
They traded their fourth-rounder to Tampa Bay last Nov. 1 for cornerback Aqib Talib, who improved the secondary, and an extra seventh-rounder. The fifth-round choice went to Washington on July 29, 2011 for defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who played just six games with the Patriots.
And the sixth-rounder, plus a fifth-rounder last year, went to Cincinnati for wide receiver Chad Johnson the same day the Patriots obtained Haynesworth. Johnson, then called Chad Ochocinco, had only 15 catches in 15 games in his one season in New England.
The Patriots have had three strong drafts after a weak stretch. In 2010, they added defensive back Devin McCourty, tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, and linebacker Brandon Spikes. In 2011, they chose offensive tackle Nate Solder and running backs Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen. And last year they drafted defensive end Chandler Jones and linebacker Dont'a Hightower.
The fewest picks the Patriots have had were six in 2002.
"You know going in, 'OK, you have X amount of selections that you're going to make.' You have to be prepared every time your name comes up," Caserio said. "That doesn't change from one year to the next. However many picks you have, you make the pick and if there's an opportunity that's out there that makes sense for you to (trade), then you consider if it's the best thing for ourselves at the time, then we'll do it."
But the draft is just one step in the process as the Patriots try to build a team that can do better than a 12-4 record but an AFC championship game loss to the Baltimore Ravens 28-13 at Foxborough.
"It's ongoing," Caserio said. "It really never stops."

Everyone seems to have different needs in a light. I've used a lot of different lights in my riding career, and a few were close, but never quite there in terms of modes. Often I wanted a slower flash, or just high and low settings, or I wasn't happy with the button push sequence. The Pro 600 LED light addresses these problems with NiteRider's DIY software. Plug the light head into your PC (Mac version coming soon!) and fiddle around with modes to your heart's content. The 600 nomenclature specifies the LED's lumens, and a dual lamp version is called, predictably enough, the Pro 1200.
Construction is typical for NiteRider: built for the long haul. There are a lot of older NiteRider lights still in service, and build quality is the reason why. The Redbull-can-sized battery pack is on the beefy side, but it gives the light an estimated four hours of runtime on the highest light output. It can be mounted on the top or down tube, or tossed in your pack; personally it seems too heavy and sharp-edged for my jersey pockets. I did have some trouble getting the battery pack to stay in place on my mountain bike's squarish top tube, but that was no problem on round tubes. Handlebar and helmet mounts for the light head are easy to adjust; the handlebar mount in particular stands out as simple and super-adjustable for just about any bend, sweep, or rise.
The software is intuitive to use, and changes to the program can be made in minutes. The light can be programmed with up to five modes—one stock setting and four modifiable settings. Each mode has both a steady and flash sub-mode, and within each sub-mode, various light levels and flash patterns can be set. Once set, modes can be selected without hooking up the light to the computer. For example: I set up two modes, "commuting" and "off-road." In "commuting" I have three light levels (600, 300, and 150 lumens) and a few flash modes, including one I set myself. "Off-road" has two light levels (600 and 150 lumens), low for climbing, high for everything else. I also programmed two flashes, a basic riding–in-traffic flash and an SOS mode, because you never know where the day may take you.
The light pattern is just about perfect for commuting, a bright round center with enough peripheral light to keep me aware of the side of the road. A little wider beam would be my preference for off-road use, but that is a pretty minor quibble. The single button was easy to push with gloves on, and the LED fuel gauge was easy to read. Switching between steady and flash modes requires a three-second push of the button, and the light will go off for a moment when switching modes. Switching between custom modes is a little confusing; reading the manual is recommended, probably something I don't need to tell the nerd-types that will be attracted to this light. (I include myself in that group.)
LED lights are on a tear. I wasn't even able to finish this review before NiteRider bumped up brightness a little more and renamed the light the Pro 700. It seems like every six months run times increase, along with light output, and prices remain about the same, or go down. This is a good time to be a cyclist in the dark. I'm pretty stoked about this light, and will be glad to have something this bright for the upcoming dark commutes as winter approaches, and won't shy away from hitting some nighttime singletrack when the opportunity presents itself. MSRP $500, proudly made in the U.S.A.

ToZenAviMencoder (en)
Per la versione in italiano di questa pagina, fiondarsi qui
As soon as a shiny new Creative Zen knocked to the door of my house, I immediately began searching for the right settings in order to convert videos from any format they were to a Zen-able format.
The Zen has the ability to play XVID and Windows Media Video (WMV) movies, with little restrictions.
For details, see this sheet published by Creative itself.
At first I made some conversion experiments using ffmpeg (I like it more than mencoder), but all the movies it converted had the problem of skipping the last 6/7 seconds of the video, as they were played on the Zen. After some searching, what I came to understand is that this is due to ffmpeg producing always VBR videos (variable bitrate), instead of CBR (constant bitrate) ones, which the Zen requires. If someone knows a way to make ffmpeg produce CBR movies (it seems to not work setting minrate and maxrate to the same value), please post here how to do it.
Due to this problem with ffmpeg, I used mplayer/mencoder.
Note: during my last experiments with gnomad2, I verified that the movie length doesn't get transfered along with the movie on the Zen, making it impossible to pause a video and resume playing it back at a later time from the same position it was at. Instead, the movie length is correctly transfered along with the movie if you use the Windows software which comes alongside with the Zen.
This script is able to convert one or more movies from any video format to a Zen-compatible AVI format, but is not restricted to only that. If you modify it, you can adjust it to your own transcoding needs. For example, you can adjust it so it can re-encode a bunch of movies so that you can play them on your DVD-Divx player attached to the TV etc.
The encoding process is made in 2 pass.
You can use this script alongside my other script to display the progress of the encoding process. You can find it here.
Current version
Current version is 1.02, released on 02/10/2008 (date is in dd/mm/yyyy format).
- GNU Bash
- In order to execute the script.
- Mplayer/mencoder
- Used to encode. It must be compiled against the lame library, in order to encode audio tracks in mp3 format.
- awk, grep and other programs
- They're used to gather/elaborate information. An initial check inside the script looks for them and, if one's missing, it alerts you.
Inside an appropriate section (Editable Section) of the script there are some parameters, which are already set to the right values to produce Zen playable movies. In case you need this script to encode movies which are not to play on the Zen, you probably just need to adjust only these parameters.
- The desired resolution. The display of the Zen has a 320x240 pixel resolution. To the conversion extents, only the X resolution will be used, because the Y resolution will be automatically determined by mencoder, in order to preserve the aspect ratio of the original movie.
- Contains the extension of the file to be produced. It's set to "avi" by default.
- Contains the audio bitrate in thousands of bits per second (kb/s). Only in case the movie needs a great audio quality (live performance, musical video), it should be set to 128 (kb/s). Otherwise, you can set it to 64 or 32.
- Points to the folder in which the converted movies will be put. If you don't declare it as an enviroment variable before you fire up the script, it will be set to "~/ZenOut", where ~ means the user's home folder. If this folder doesn't exist yet, it will be created.
- Contains the maximum framerate which the destination target supports, in frames per second (fps). The Zen supports movies with a framerate up to 30 fps. If the source content has a greater framerate, it will be set to the value contained inside this variable during the encoding process.
- Contains the FOURCC to force in the converted movie header. The Zen requires the FOURCC to be XVID, but most Divx players requires it to be DIVX, DX40, DX50 etc. For a list of the available FOURCCs, see here.
- The video codec to use. By default it is set to mpeg4, in order to use the libavcodec library and its options. If you change it to "xvid" or something else, you'll have to adjust the encoding parameters used below by the script.
- The video bitrate to use, in bit per second (b/s). The Zen supports videos with a bitrate up to 1 Mb/s.
- Points to the log file which will contain error messages (if any) and other info.
- Contains the name of the script to use to display the progress of the conversion. If it's set and it's contained inside the PATH, it will be used. Otherwise mencoder's output will be shown with no filter on standard output. If you want to use my script, go here.

You just need to put the script inside a path contained in the PATH enviroment variable, and grant it execution permission. I suggest to create a folder (bin, for example) inside your home folder and put it in your PATH, editing/creating the ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile files with the following
export PATH+=":~/bin"
- 1.00
- initial version of the script.
- 1.01
- fixed a little error regarding the progress script.
- 1.02
- fixed a little error which prevented files with spaces (' ') inside their name to be correctly saved;
- fixed some strings inside the log file.

Blumenthal says gun control effort will eventually prevail
Norwich — U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said Monday the fight to pass federal gun-control legislation, derailed last week by a Senate vote, will eventually succeed.
"Ultimately, the Senate and Congress will do the right thing," Blumenthal told a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut. "The 'Connecticut effect' is not going away, the Senate is not going away."
Blumenthal touched on several topics, including immigration reform, education and jobs, but devoted much of his 40-minute talk to the Senate's failure to pass a bipartisan compromise that would have expanded background checks on gun purchases. Fifty-four senators voted for the bill — a 55th, Majority Leader Harry Reid, voted no on procedural grounds, preserving his right to bring up the measure again — six short of the 60 needed to approve it. Four Republicans voted for the bill; five Democrats opposed it.
The Senate also rejected a ban on assault weapons and limits on the size of ammunition clips.
Blumenthal blamed the bill's defeat on a Senate rule requiring the 60-vote threshold be met. Two years into his first term in the Senate, he said he has twice voted to eliminate the rule, which must be adopted or rejected at the start of each legislative session. For democracy to work, he said, the rule must be abolished.
"We're not done seeking measures to prevent gun violence," Blumenthal told the audience at the Holiday Inn. "Newtown has changed the nation."
He said he will never forget the scene he witnessed in Newtown hours after last December's massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, where a gunman killed 20 children and six educators. Parents and relatives of the Newtown victims have had a profound effect on Washington, he said. He added that senators have told him that they left meetings with parents "with tears in their eyes."
Asked about lobbyists' influence on senators, Blumenthal said groups that oppose the gun-control bill had spread "major pieces of misinformation" about it, claiming the proposal called for a national gun registry and taking away guns, both of which are false. He said he relied heavily on the input of law enforcement officials in deciding to champion the legislation.
"People who read the bill know it posed no threat to the Second Amendment," he said.
With immigration reform next up on the Senate's agenda, Blumenthal said he would support measures to provide the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants with "a path to earn citizenship" and greater border security.
"Immigration reform can be an economic driver," he said, pointing to the need in some parts of the country for immigrants to fill agricultural jobs. It's also important, he said, for the United States to recruit highly skilled immigrants for jobs employers can't otherwise fill.
An immigration bill ought to be tied to greater funding for STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education in this country, Blumenthal said.

[Alt: 'Dude, wait -- I'm not American! So my risk is basically zero!']
Anyway, I'm not saying these are better jokes than the comic above. I'd call them about equal. But given that the above - both xkcds and other jokes - came into my mind nearly instantly, I'd say it's a pretty bland, overused topic. I'm not saying statistical abuse can't be fun, though I think most of the fun comes from laughing at actual examples that people give (in, I dunno, the media??) as opposed to made up ones.
I'm in total agreement with everyone who says the caption isn't necessary: The panel itself makes clear that a man is making a poor decision based on his abuse of statistics; the prospect of him being injured is what makes the comic funny. The caption doesn't add much to that concept. It's not 100% worthless, as it adds a weird, introverted statistic about a statistic, so that's why the folks who says "put it in the alt-text!" are correct.
Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert seem to have gotten a lot of traction out of this strategy recently, so I'll copy them: I have an important announcement to make, but I am not making it now (HA HA!). I'll make it in a few days, timed to coincide with comic #800. For fun! But seriously, it's going to be big.

The kids are out of school on December 20th and I'll be looking for fun things to do together before and after Christmas. Here is a list of thirteen fun kid crafts that'll keep everyone busy and happy on into the new year.
1. Make a gum drop wreath. Even a three year old can help with this fun craft--though I imagine ours will get picked over pretty thoroughly before the gum drops even get stale. The tutorial is from Posie Gets Cozy. Here's a variation on the theme: gumdrop trees at Bella Dia.
2. Measure the weather. We're going to set out containers and measure how much snow we get and record the daily temperature--want to make sure the reindeer have Optimal Flying Conditions you know.
3. Play indoor hopscotch. We have laminate flooring and will tape game boards on the flooring when the weather doesn't permit the outside versions. There are all sorts of things you can do with masking tape, see this post for more details.
4. Read some holiday books. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is at the top of the list but have you ever read The Christmas Dolls by Carol Beach York? An out-of-print classic that I still treasure. I have a ratty, falling-apart paperback copy that I think we'll need to explore while sitting by the fire.
5. Play "Hide the Button." I sometimes forget how younger children will love simple games like this. You can't go wrong when you take 15 minutes to play this.
6. Make a snow fort using super scoopers. Gallon-sized plastic milk jugs make terrific snow scoopers when you cut away half the bottom of the jug. Mix some food coloring and water in a spray bottle to use for "decorating" the snow and you've got an instant hit. Now if only we had some snow. . .
7. Make glittering pinecones. If you water down Elmer's glue you can paint it onto the branches of big pinecones (the kind you can find at craft stores). Once it's been well-painted, sprinkle glitter over it and hang it by its stem.
8. Write thank you cards. The perfect afternoon activity. Stickers, glitter, glue, construction paper--get it out and say thanks for all the presents. I bet Santa doesn't get that many "thank you" cards but it wouldn't be a bad idea.
9. Make pipe cleaner snowflakes. Twist sparkley white pipe cleaners together to make snowflakes and hang them from your windows. If you're feeling really adventurous here's a tutorial to make 3-D paper snowflakes.
10. Shovel a neighbor's driveway. It's fun to make it a game and see if you can get it done "before the giant sees you."
11. Go ice skating. We've got a hockey rink nearby and last year we had a great time skating whenever we had a free afternoon. I have always had a hard time staying warm and ice skates are the worst for cold feet but last year I found these wonderful soft boot skates that are warm and toasty and great for helping you keep your ankles straight. They're on sale and they even come in pink.
12. Make snow molecules. Use toothpicks and tiny marshmallows to make "snow molecules" by sticking the toothpicks into the marshmallows in whatever configuration seems appropriate.
13. Make igloos. Use frosting to glue large marshmallows together like snow blocks to make your very own igloo. Sample at your own risk--that's enough sugar to bring down a nation. Susie J had an alternative to using marshmallows at her post here.
Bonus: 14. Attempt this cutie pie dessert. From Sew Darn Cute, my kids would think it was pretty cool to eat a cake that's shaped like a tree and she makes it sound so easy I think I'm going to give it a try.

It's unlikely that Fortnite will support ALL devices, but it's likely that Epic will cover a majority of the most used devices and most recent operating systems.
The good news for those of you looking forward to an Android release for the game is that Epic has given an official timeframe for when the game will come to the Google Play store.
Talking to fans in May, Epic Games said:
"We are targeting this summer for the release. We know many of you are excited for this release, and we promise that when we have more information to share, you'll hear it from us first."
For those wanting to put an official date in the calendar, when can we expect to see the Android Fortnite release?
Technically Summer 2018 started on Thursday21st June and ends on Sunday 23 September.
So in theory, we could be playing the Android version any day now.
Realistically though, it's unlikely to be right away the second it is announced, as we suspect Epic Games will want a small beta test for the game ahead of a full-scale rollout, just like they did on iOS.
As of yet,Epic Games have not confirmed an official Fortnite Android release date or a beta testing period.
However, we're confident therewill be one.
Asand when players will likely need to sign-up at
STEGIA Classic heels assia Sale Cheapest fNK50
for the chance to be one of the first to play the game onAndroid Smartphone devices.
Email invites will start rolling out soon thereafter. And assuming it's handled exactly like the games Apple iOS testing period any users who are invited will receive an email with a link to download the game from the Google Play Store.
Players who do receive invites from Epic will also, likely, get additional friend invite codes to share with friends.
Although Fortnite fans might still be waiting for the Epic Games to announce the release date for Battle Royale on Android, there is some good news following a new report by Bloomberg.
Incidentally, it doesn't make for good reading for Fortnite's main mobile rival, PUBG.
According to
Claire patent pumps 100% Guaranteed Online Clearance Sale Online t5NHMtIW
although Fortnite is only available on iOS devices, it is reported making five times the revenue compared to PUBG Mobile which is on both iOS and Android.
Likewise, the report notes that Fortnite only has (roughly) half the downloads on mobile devices when compared to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
The core numbers appear to have originated from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, who believe Fortnite hasgenerated$92 million since the initial release.In comparison, PUBG is believed to have grossed roughly $19 million over the same period.
Another significant difference between the two mobile games is that Fortnite's revenue comes mainly from their US market.
But it should also be noted that in Asia, the majority of smartphones run on Android and with no compatible game, it's understandable that the game would be lagging behind PUBG in that market.

From Thursday through Tuesday a total of 23 team events were canceled. The tennis team had a match canceled on Thursday, rescheduled the match for Tuesday and had it canceled again.
No Saints sports team played a scheduled game, meet, or match last week.
That's what happens when two snow storms blanket the playing fields the third week of April. It wasn't just snow as there were chilling rains and just plain cold weather.
From Thursday through Tuesday a total of 23 team events were canceled. The tennis team had a match canceled on Thursday, rescheduled the match for Tuesday and had it canceled again.
Some of the numbers in this count of 23 were tournaments where the tennis team and the softball team were scheduled to play several opponents in one day.
It's not just tennis that's canceled matches that had already been rescheduled. Both the softball and baseball teams have canceled games with Fairmont twice.
The baseball team has not played a game this year. The Saints have canceled nine scheduled or rescheduled games.
The softball team has played one home game and with a canceled tourney and rescheduled games included has canceled nine games.
The boys and girls golf teams have not played a match home or away. The St. James course isn't open yet.
Tennis and track had the benefit of at least kicking off the season with some indoor events, but it's been tough sledding outside.
The tennis team got a home match in, but that's probably because Tennis Coach Les Zellmann ran a snowblower over the courts after one of the snow storms.
The track team got a home invitational in after a couple of indoor events, but the boys and girls teams haven't competed in an event since that cold home meet on April 5.
The weather is predicted to really warm up this weekend. Perhaps the spring sports can finally begin. The athletes have had enough indoor practice.
