Welcome to the Little Pagan Acorns site, with printables for Pagan homeschoolers. Word searches, puzzles, mazes, worksheets, craft ideas are more are all on their way for anyone looking for an alternative to the prevalent Christian homeschooling world.
Even if you're not a Pagan homeschooling parent, you can use lots of these pages to keep your kids amused and to teach them a little bit about various Pagan paths and pantheons.
Haiku Poetry Unit
My daughter loves writing haiku poems because they are short and easy to do. If you wanted to introduce your kids to some poetry, why not try some Pagan-flavored haiku?
If you're homeschooling, this type of project would be around the grade 4 area but any age kids can understand and do some poetry.
This is a 4-page set, with an intro page on haiku, 2 full-page poem pages as examples and a blank page for your own poem (see a sample).
Deity Word Searches part 2
I thought it was time to go back to some of my earlier sections and add some extra content. This is a new set of Deity word searches, with 2 pages each for 5 different pantheons (Greek, Norse, Celtic, Egyptian and Roman).
That's a total of 10 pages in this download (see a sample). I also added some of the lesser-known Deities compared to the last set.
Since I have already included other word searches like this, I have continued my sophisticated numbering system so you can tell individual pages apart.
Calendar Pages for 2015
My annual set of printable Pagan calendar sheets are up and ready for 2015. As usual, there are 12 pages and each month shows the full moon dates and relevant Sabbats. Lots of space in the squares for writing in notes and appointments (see a sample).
And by popular demand, I've added a second set for the southern hemisphere that has the seasonal references and Sabbats reversed.
I plan on doing another set of these in a few days, to include other date information like major national holidays. I know I've said that before, but I mean it this time. So if you want one that has things like Mother's Day and Labor Day, stay tuned.
Book-Lovers Bookmarks
I've made up a new little set of printable bookmarks, with book-lovers slogans (with a Pagan twist of course). It's a single page file, with 5 bookmarks you can cut out. A couple are adapted from bumper sticker slogans
I thought they would be a nice touch to the back to school season.
Sacred Places Coloring Pages
These didn't turn out quite like I had hoped but I figured I'd share them anyway. A small 6-page coloring page set of sacred places around the world, from various Pagan paths (see a sample).
Some are more detailed than others, but I had to work with the images available for this.
The Nine Noble Virtues
After seeing so many Bible-based pages that teach values, I figured there needed to be something more Pagan. I based these pages on the Norse 9 Noble Virtues, though I kept the explanations fairly simple for kids. Each one outlines the virtue along with a quote from the Havamal that illustrates the idea (see a sample).
Use them as handouts, or stick one on the fridge each week to learn a new value. I may repost these as half-pages later as well. Not sure.
Norse Pantheon Lapbook
Latest lapbook is all about the Norse pantheon and their mythology.
There are 9 pages I think, including some photos of the completed lapbook that you can use as a guide but that don't need to be printed out. Pieces for 8 major Deities, a tabbed book on the story of Ragnarok, some mythological animals, the 9 noble virtues and a diagram of Yggdrasil that you can label with the various realms.
Just cut out all the bits, fold them up and arrange them as you want on a file folder. Fill in all the pieces with info you learn on the Norse Gods & Goddesses. Click on the image to see and download the file.
Mini Alphabet Coloring Pages
At the request of a follower, I've remade my original set of alphabet coloring pages so that they are now only half-page in size each.
That makes a total of 13 pages, each with 2 letters on them. You can cut them apart to make big flashcards, or just coloring pages that are a little easier to transport around (see a sample).
I hope this format makes the pages a little more flexible and helpful for you Pagan parents out there.
Seasonal Sabbat Buntings
A different kind of printable coloring sheet for Sabbats and seasons: decorative flags or buntings. There is 24 pages to this set, with 1 each for the Sabbats and then a mix of seasonal designs that you can print in whatever combination floats your boat (see a sample).
You cut each one out, and fold the little flap at the top so you can hang them from a long string or piece of yarn. I think they are a fun way to decorate for the Sabbats or just to honor the seasons.
Herbal Notebooking Pages
Notebooking pages for magickal or medicinal herbal studies, or however you want to use them. I've included 25 herbs and one blank page that you can use to create your own additional entries. There are some blanks to fill in about each herb, and a larger section I've called "folklore" where any other information can be written in (see a sample).
They are illustrated with vintage botanical drawings, which are really just for show. I wouldn't count on them for any real field identification or anything like that.

The constant appeal by LDS Church leaders encouraging us to engage in consistent daily scripture study is given with good reason. Throughout scripture and in church history, we read and learn of individuals who leave the faith because they are ignorant or confused as to what is true doctrine and are easily deceived by false doctrine.
Joseph Smith acknowledged, "The devil has great power to deceive."
In the Doctrine and Covenants the Lord indicated, "Satan hath sought to deceive you, that he might overthrow you. Behold, I, the Lord, have looked upon you, and have seen abominations in the church that profess my name."
It is clear from these verses that Satan is, and continues to be, actively engaged in trying to deceive us. More critically, these scriptures suggest that some individuals in the church are nonchalant in obedience or they are deceived and, not knowing truth, are led to engage in sinful behavior.
There is a powerful story from the scriptures that illustrates this fact and impresses upon us the need for sincere, consistent scripture study. In the Book of Mormon we are introduced to Korihor, who is an anti-Christ. He appears among the Nephites — members of Christ's church — and preaches against prophecy and prophets testifying of Jesus Christ. He seeks to destroy men's testimonies and to lead them astray. Korihor not only challenges the doctrines of the church, but he misrepresents them. This is where the story gets interesting.
Speaking to church members, who ought to know otherwise, he misconstrues church doctrine and accuses church leaders, "Ye say that this people is a guilty and a fallen people, because of the transgression of a parent. Behold, I say that a child is not guilty because of its parents." Korihor, in essence, lies and tells church members that they subscribe to the doctrine of "original sin."
By articulating this lie and challenging other church doctrines, Korihor is highly successful among the Nephites, so much so that, "Thus he did preach unto them, leading away the hearts of many, causing them to lift up their heads in their wickedness, yea, leading away many women, and also men." Many Nephites could have avoided being deceived, and enduring the sorrow and suffering that accompanies sin, if they had taken the time to learn and study Christ's doctrine.
On the matter of "original sin" the Lord spoke clearly to the Nephites as well as to us. In scripture we hear Christ speak, "Little children are whole, for they are not capable of committing sin; wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me; that it hath no power over them; … it is solemn mockery before God, that ye should baptize little children." Other scriptures reinforce this truth: "Little children are holy, being sanctified through the atonement of Jesus Christ." The doctrine of "original sin" is clearly rejected in Christ's church.
In today's world we are bombarded by a multitude of cacophonous voices offering different and disparate solutions to today's challenges. Many individuals live in societies that trumpet sin as acceptable to God. In these types of settings, it is easy to become confused, and it is easy to be deceived.
There is a solution: Study the scriptures and the words and teachings of today's prophets. Use them as the foundation and standard for truth, and test all other ideas and concepts being espoused in the world against them. By doing this, individuals can discern and reject that which is untrue and embrace that which is in keeping with Christ's gospel.
The lovely thing is that Christ does all in his power to educate us in light and truth. He implores us, "Now come, saith the Lord, by the Spirit, … let us reason together, that ye may understand: Let us reason even as a man reasoneth one with another face to face. Now, when a man reasoneth he is understood of man, because he reasoneth as a man; even so will I, the Lord, reason with you that you may understand." The Lord loves us so much that he is willing to condescend, to speak to each of us on our level, and instruct us in life-saving truths.
For spiritual safety and security, recognizing that "Satan has great power to deceive," scripture study and gospel inquiry must be lifelong pursuits engaged in by faithful members of the church who seek protection from deception.

Don't talk to me about sneezing and colds. I've been sick since the day I moved to WV. No one with seasonal allergies should ever move to a state where the pollen count is extremely high every day, because the season never ends in this weed infested state. Misery. That's what it has been. I've never been so sick in my entire life until I moved here. haha
October 26, 2014 at 8:11 am in reply to: I'm getting to be such a home body #5301428 Report Abuse
I've become a homebody since moving to WV. Probably because there really is not much to do here, unless you are into wilderness and that just never was my thing. so much is closed on the weekends or during winter. Town I live in is pretty much nothing but second hand stores, so there isn't anything fantastic to see. If you want something to do you have to either drive to Beckley or a few times a year DD and I head to Christiansburg in VA. I do miss going to the theater, museums, all of the fun things to do for kids, we don't even have a zoo or aquarium here. Haha

Oh yeah, DD works at the Salvation Army, and even when she was pregnant the other workers went in to their little office and stole her food from the frig. I'm not sure why people feel entitled to just help themselves to stuff people work hard for. She also had her purse robbed a few times there also. Someone stole one of her prescriptions and money a few times. People are rotten.

That happens at so many places. I used to work for a family doctor. If you put anything in the frig, it was game to anyone else it seemed. LOL There was a girl that worked there that ate a tremendous amount of food every day, skinny as a rail, but she had a really high metabolism I suppose. Anyhow, I could always expect her to eat food from the frig that I had brought in for my lunch. Haha she used to do it all the time and I'd say something and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. We had lockers when I worked in a warehouse years ago. Same thing happened there, if you left something in the frig, it was open season. I just think its rude, but people do it all the time.

People here are after copper wire. If they know something has coppre in it, they steal it. Last christmas copper thieves actually stole all the copper out of the christmas light display at the park and the city had to replace them in order to put on the show. We have a lot of vacant houses in the town I live in. Seems like a lot of people bailing out for better opportunity in other states, not to mention the never ending drug problem here, but that's another story. But people will break in, steal what they can and then leave the damage for the real estate agents or the new homeowners. I had actually been looking at a huge house on the other side of town, spoke to the realtor a few times. People came in, stole the heating unit, all the duct work, all the plumbing, wiring, you name it, they took it. I would never have been able to fix the place back up to how it was. I wondered why the house was listed so cheap. It was just a shell. LOL

October 24, 2014 at 8:40 pm in reply to: vandals #5300923 Report Abuse
Yes, it is a very very different world anymore. I'd love to go back to the 70′s when I was growing up. Times were so better then. Neighbors were neighbors and people actually conversed with you, everyone knew everyone else and people watched out for each other. Now its just people looking to see what they can get from anyone, no one talks to you, but they sure know what you have. No one seems to have any respect for anyone else's possessions anymore. I live out of city limits on a windy mountain road and there is so much robbery out where I live, its ridiculous. I've got neighbors accusing each other of robbing their own family members because they all seem to be related in some way around me, its unbelievable. One guy that only lived here about 2 months came home from work one day and had all of his groceries stolen. He moved, only made it 3 months up here on the hill. LOL I've had to change the locks on my place 3 times since I've lived here from people trying to get into my house when I'm not home and busting the outside door lock, and they've pretty much helped themselves to the little bit of stuff I had in my yard, broke a few of Lilli's outside toys climbing on them trying to get into one of my windows, so I don't keep anything out there any longer. They even so much as came in my yard and stole my cinder blocks a few months ago! HAHA I think if I had known who it was and caught them, they would have gotten smashed in the teeth with one. I'm definitely not afraid to load the rifle I keep in my closet and shoot someone's knee caps off if it comes to it. I work hard for the little I do have, and I'll be danged if I'm going to let any of these welfare pill heads around me take what I work for. You honestly cannot trust a soul where I live, its that bad.

I suppose the doctors are being cautious. Also her lab work came back abnormal in a few different areas, Dr. called day before last to tell the DD to get her back to the lab as soon as possible. so they ran more labs yesterday and it will take a few days to get those results. otherwise, she seems to be eating well and her color is better than it was. She also gained 5 ounces back which is good. She sure is a tiny tot and cute as a button. Her pediatrician still wants to see her 2 times a week for another week or two, to check the joints in her legs and arms, the murmur and we'll see what happens with the lab work as soon as the results are back.
My nephew was 4 pounds when he was born, and he's a big kid now. lol

Her History in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women
2009 #90 | 2006 #39 | 2005 #66 | 2004 #38 | 2002 #39 | 2001 #33 | 1999 #86 | 1997 #76 | 1996 #49
She was born "Lisa Snawdon" but changed her name. Now you know.
Finished third in 2008's Strictly Come Dancing, despite breaking the record for the most perfect scores in one series.
Besides Special K and Lynx, she's also been advertising totty for Mercedes-Benz, Dove soap, Neutrogena, and, bizarrely, After Eight Mint Straws.
Ousted Denise van Outen as a co-presenter on a breakfast show with Johnny Vaughan.
She'll always be known in America for being Clooney's ex, but over here in Blighty, there are plenty of other reasons to remember Hertfordshire's hottest supermodel. Leaving her illustrious fashion career to one side, she's also been 'that Special K girl' you kept having dreams about, sambaed for a doddering geriatric on Strictly Come Dancing and even had time to grace the pages of FHM once in a while.
All this on top of waking up at stupid o'clock to host a radio show with Johnny Vaughan, presenting Britain's Next Top Model, and generally being very fit, all of the time. Did we mention she's also on Through The Keyhole now? Yes, it's still going, and yes, she did take over Loyd Grossman's role. No, she doesn't do the voice, annoyingly.

At the heart of what we do is a belief that beer brings people together and we make beer for those "moments." The moment where you'll either reminisce or plan, listen or unload.
Our beers are European-inspired and uniquely sessionable – designed to showcase deep flavors in an approachable package. Using unfiltered Snoqualmie Pass mountain water, imported German malts and Yakima Valley hops we craft beers that are distinctly Dru Bru.
Sipping a pint, surrounded by friends, sweeping views of the Cascade Mountains and Guye Peak breaking above - feels rather perfect. We thought brewing there sounded pretty good too.
Drop in after a day on the mountain to enjoy a fresh brewed beer in a space built to celebrate good conversation. We'll offer a warm welcome, a wealth of beer knowledge and wide variety styles brewed in our adjoining 15 barrel brewhouse. Our taproom will be open year round so park your skis, boards, bikes, packs or cars and gather around something great.

Help with VR on 70-300mm - three questions

Help with VR on 70-300mm - three questions
11 months ago
1) With my D600, I usually shoot with a minimum shutter speed of 1/500. Does it make sense to leave VR on or off at higher shutter speeds. What is a minimum shutter you might use and turn off VR or do you always leave VR on.
2) When using a monopod, does it make sense to leave VR on or off.
3) When you leave VR on, do you use VR in active mode. I shoot mostly stationary subjects.
My questions are mostly related to the 70-300mm that I just acquired although I also have the 24-85 with VR.

Posted by Vanessa Barneveld Nov 21 2014, 12:01 am in writing tips
I'm here to talk about a very serious subject — comedy writing. In writing, getting the comedic balance right is tricky. Years ago, a contest judge said my entry read like a series of jokes. Unfortunately, this was not intended as a compliment. What s/he meant was a novel shouldn't come across like a stand-up routine. My challenge? Concentrate on the plot and narrative, and let the funny flow naturally. (Contest Judge, I hope I've done you proud!)
As you might have guessed from my debut YA's punny title, This Is Your Afterlife is on the lighter end of the grayscale. That's not to say there aren't dark moments — the story revolves around murdered high school football star Jimmy Hawkins. It's just his death is treated with a touch of humor and hope. Here's an excerpt:
"Aren't you psychic?" he taunts.
"Being psychic would mean I could see into the future."
"Then what do you call this…this thing we have?" He gestures at the space between us.
I frown at that space. "You have what is called the afterlife. I have what appears to be clairvoyance." Grandie was pretty clear on the distinction. "Psychics see the future. Clairvoyants and mediums see dead people. And argue with them, too, it seems."
How did this even happen to me? Last time I checked, I didn't have the Gift. I haven't been struck by lightning, haven't taken any hallucinogenic pills or eaten magic mushrooms. My sixteenth birthday would have been a prime time for spirits to make an all-singing, all-dancing debut in my world, but that day passed quietly three months ago.
Unless there were signs I missed. But what counts as a sign? Randomly sensing Grandie's lavender perfume in the Bugle office? Could it be that she was trying to communicate then?
What bugs me is that I've been invisible to Jimmy for years. Now that he's dead, he finally sees me. There is no justice in the world.

One of my favourite movie quotes is from Crimes and Misdemeanors, in which Alan Alda's character says, "Comedy is tragedy plus time." I'm not known for my love of mathematics, but this is one equation that makes a lot of sense to me.
Here are a few key ways to inject a dose of fun into your work:
Keep in mind there are contraindications for each of these. Use sparingly. Always stay true to character. You can't have a supreme court judge cracking wise at the bench. Unless she's Judge Judy. But it's okay for her because caustic wit forms part of who she is.
How do you know if you're writing funny? It's a promising sign if people constantly tell you, "Say, you're really funny!" Or if they laugh with you, not at you. Like anything, humor is subjective. What's hilarious to one reader might be tedious or even offensive to another. Test it on CPs and friends. Grab someone off the street and feed them a line. If you get hit with rotten tomatoes, or worse, don't raise a chuckle, you may have missed the mark. Do your comedic situations make you, the writer, laugh? They say if you cry when writing a sad scene, it's likely your readers will pick up on all that emotion you poured into it and cry, too. So I think the same goes for humor. Go ahead, LOL at your own jokes.
Tell me, when was the last time you laughed out loud? Got a favorite funny author or movie?
You've been a great audience. Thank you and goodnight!
Out now – This Is Your Afterlife (Bloomsbury Spark), a paranormal YA that brings new meaning to "teen spirit."

Because the American holiday falls in November, I've noticed that we tend to focus more on our blessings during this time.

Lil Wayne has announced the Young Money Presents: America's Most Wanted Music Festival which will be joined by Young Jeezy, Drake and Soulja Boy Tell Em on the road next month.
The tour will run nationwide and kick-off this July.
The Young Money Presents: America's Most Wanted Music Festival will be the follow up to Lil Wayne's very successful "I Am Music Tour" playing a total of 47 arena dates across the US. After an opening act, Drake will perform, followed by Soulja Boy and Young Jeezy's sets with Lil Wayne closing out the show. The tour will kick off on July 27, 2009 at the Toyota Pavillion in Scranton, Pennsylvania and end on August 23, 2009 at the Superpages.com Center in Dallas, Texas. (The Urban Daily)
Drake hinted at a possible tour featuring Jeezy and Jay-Z earlier this year.
"God willing, if everything goes according to plan and everybody's schedule is in place, then I will be on tour with some amazing people," Drake said in an interview. "One of them being Jay-Z, one of them being Lil Wayne, one of them being Young Jeezy and one of them being me." (Much Music)
Speculation on the tour began to circulate online in early June.
A really big rap tour is exactly what the game needs right now. A rep for Soulja Boy Tell Em told MTV News that the rapper will be joining Lil Wayne on tour this summer, along with Young Jeezy and Wayne's fast-rising protege Drake. Sources in Wayne's camp told MTV News they are confident that a tour with at least some of the four players will happen. (MTV)
Tickets for the upcoming tour will go on sale later this month.
Lil Wayne will be joined by artists Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy and Drake for the 22-city tour through the United States and Canada. Tickets for the tour will go on sale June 20th and are available via Ticketmaster, Live Nation and venue ticketing systems depending on venue. (Urban Bridgez)

November 23, 2014
The undefeated Hornets of Lake High School are generating a buzz around "death valley" that hasn't been felt in 20 years.
"It was back in 1993," said Head Coach Jeff Breland. "The community's extremely excited. Our guys... we're trying to stay humble, and take in one week at a time, and I think that's what's helped us stay the course throughout the year."
But even the '93 Hornets couldn't run the table, finishing 12-1. With the Dragons of Pisgah coming to Lake for Friday's first round game, coach Breland says he has his team in playoff mode.
"We've told 'em since last Friday night, you know, if you lose now, you're going to take your stuff up, and our demeanor has been a lot better this week as far as preparation," said Breland.
"Everybody's excited. It's playing for keeps now. Every-body's ready and we want this," said senior offensive lineman Zachary Emmons. "It's been a while since Lake's been this far ahead, and we're ready to go ahead and get what we need."
The Hornets averaged 40 points a game throughout their undefeated regular season. They never scored less than 31 points in a match, and their closest game was a 31-18 victory over Scott Central.
Pisgah comes in with a 5-6 record, capping their season with a shut-out loss to Madison St. Joseph, but Coach Breland isn't concerned with how this game looks on paper.
"They do a good job running the counters and the powers and they've got some explosive backs and they've got good size up front," said Breland. "You know, we're going to have to treat this game like it's any other game.
"Our guys are focused. I think we're going to be ready to play. "
Emmons feels the same way.
"We've worked a lot and we deserve something like this in our senior year... for once, and we're ready for it."

Apple strap-on wristjob: You WON'T be able to spend more than $5,000!
Re: Hmmm choices choices....
I saw it - there is no way a solid-gold watch (Apple or otherwise) will be worth £30 in a few years. Working or not. Unless the watch weighs less than 2g or someone finally cracks the secret of alchemy...
(Cue Percy and Blackadder...)
Re: Hmmm choices choices....
"I wonder which will still be working three years later and may have actually increased in value while the other is worth just scrap or £20 for spares on Ebay."
You can buy broken, solid-gold watches for £20 off eBay? That's amazing.
You know, you haven't chosen wisely by bringing future value into a debate concerning something made of gold. Unless you were actually dismissing the Omega.

iPhone 6: The final straw for Android makers eaten alive by the data parasite?
Re: lets look at this in another way..
You really should stop feeling so smug and superior. Some people genuinely prefer the Apple ecosystem and buy an iPhone after an informed choice. Why else would peopl buy them if, as you say, it's just a status symbol yet everyone else despises them thus robbing them of any status?
Re: lets look at this in another way..
If switching to Android from iOS was so easy for you, then I'm assuming you have no investment in the iOS/Apple ecosystem (iPhone/iPad/MAx datasharing etc) nor any iOS apps, iTunes films etc.
Which begs the question - why have an iPhone? Someone at work asked me if he should get an iPhone or Android so I asked what apps he wanted. "Apps?" he replied. turns out he just wants email, web-browsing, phone calls, messaging etc so I told him it didn't really matter what he bought.
Driving with an Apple Watch could land you with a £100 FINE
Is this just a random list of distracting things? Just, using an Apple Watch would be distracting but I didn't see the IAM issuing advice that the new Nerf guns would be distracting if small children were using them for a pitched battle in the back seat. Same for porcupines - a porcupine on the passenger seat is also distracting. Again, no warning. And that girl who I usually see walking up the hill near home - very distracting. Especially in summer.

Mind you, he couldn't see the irony of using an image-processing problem to demonstrate the advantages of the CLI over a GUI.

OK, we thought it'd happen in 2008, then 2009, then 2010, then 2011 and err ummm,, but no fear - one day people will realise The Truth and that us nerdy techies knew best all along and that they don't want some that they can just use without having to re-compile the kernal every few weeks.

HP to enter 3D printer market in mid-2014 says CEO Meg Whitman
Why do they do this?
"It is a big opportunity and we are all over it. We will have something by the middle of next year."
Personally, I prefer Apple's approach - which, for the most part, would be HP saying "Here's our new 3D printer and it's available now." (Ok - maybe a couple of weeks). Not "Just wait until the middle of next year woo-hoo!"
Everyone moans about hugely early announcements that are inevitably late. Or so vague ("We'll have something") that you could announce anything 'on-time' and be months or years away from a product release.
Who remembers Google's "We'll have an iPad killer by Christmas"? Didn't happen - it was months late.
All of you - announce the damm thing when it's ready to ship! None o this "Just wait a few months and don't buy anything else - we'll be brilliant - honest!"
Whoops! Apple drops kimono, flashes 'FREE' GarageBand for iOS7
"Ah Logic Lite. The equivalent of Ejay Dance 6"
Not really - Garageband is Garageband; it's not the 'lite' version of anything in as much as there's no menu options that, when you try to use them, you get a pop-up saying Sorry - that feature is only available in Garageband Pro. would you like to upgrade for the special one-time fee of $29.99?"
And the same for all the other iLife apps - they are their own apps with support forums etc and you know that other Mac users have the same software, unlike all the other bloatware, feature-crippled, unheard of, unsupported, written-by-1st-year-Java-students cr@p that other machines get loaded with.
So when my Dell-owning friends ask for advice about their free photo editing software "Glorius Korean Software Kompiny (sic) Foto Editor Pro Lite V32.5!" and why it's asking for $30 to crop a photo "Please be upgrading to wonderful Korean Software Kompiny (sic) Foto Manipulator Expert V 24.8 for advance features" I have to say "Dunno mate. My last pc was an Acer it it came with "Most Brilliant Picture Changer V5" but needed upgrading to "Hoo-soon Picture Magic 9 " to save changes."
Now that's real science: CYBORG MONKEYS with PROSTHETIC ARMS

"So in true The Register style, they are jumping the gun looking for theoretical negatives against a tech Apple have implemented first, before checking the real world performance. They did the same with their ill informed article on Apple 5s 64 bit processing, which has now been confirmed as ignorant speculative negative hokum:
Don't come around here with your 'facts', young man. This is The Register, not some tawdry fact-reporting website.

Re: Tray-loading optical drive?
You're right - in years and years of owning slot-loading optical drives, I've never had one scratch the crap out of my discs.
No VGA port?
It should have one. Along with serial, parallel and PS2 ports. Oh, and the ability to swap the optical drive for a floppy, whilst we,re reminiscing.
Tray-loading optical drive?
Just looks nasty these days.

"Except sales tax here is usually around 8.5%, not 20%."
He's talking about how much the US price would cost in the UK, so adding 20% is right.

First look: Apple iPhone 5S and 5C
Remember that...
Just lately Apple have released a new iPhone every year (the 4, 4S, 5 and now the 5S), yet in the UK I think a lot of people are on 2-year contract, which means one tends to skip a generation. If you do, then the changes to one's new iPhone seem a bit more exciting if you go from a 4 to a 5, a 4S to a 5S etc.
So whilst the 5S is a nice phone, I don't see the need to upgrade my 5. Next year however, I might be more interested in upgrading to a 6, especially if my last few experiences of only having to fork out a small amount after selling or trading-in my old iPhone are repeated.
But it would be nice to see something with 'Wow!' factor again...
Web showered in golden iPhone 5S vid glory - but is it all a DISTRACTION?
I always find it funny...
...the people moan that iOS didn't do anything original and yet repeatedly fail to point out a phone that could have multiple smoothly scrolling windows (that's 'smoothly' as in how an Amiga did it, not 'smoothly' as in how an Atari ST did it) etc etc and a finger-orientated UI.

An ode...
I teleported home one night
with Ron and Sid and Meg.
Ron stole Maggie's heart away,

Are they really...

You don't need that many bits - for a lot of the people I know all you'd need to send is a couple of medium-resolution photos and enough 'for rudimentary brain functions - just enough to say "What?" and "Where's the tea?".

SAUK RAPIDS — The Fergus Falls track and field team saw three athletes receive Central Lakes All-Conference honors in Thursday's conference championship meet at Sauk Rapids.
Connor Danielson, Brianna Rasmusson and Samantha Velde were awarded all-conference honors in their respected events.
Danielson won the 3200 meter run with a time of 9:45.51. Velde received two all-conference nods with a third place finish in the discus (108'09) and a throw of 31'11.5 in the shotput, while Rasmussen took second in the triple jump (34'03.5) and received an honorable mention in the long jump (16'09.75) finishing fourth.
"We had a great night," Otter girls coach Niki Welde said. "The weather and the hard work of the season came together to give us many season best times and distances."
The Otters also picked up several conference honorable mentions including Morgan Hensch in the triple jump (fourth, 33'03.25), Lauren Norgren in the high jump (fifth, 4'08.00), Annie Magnusson in the 800 meter run (sixth, 2:27.14), CallieAnn Hoffbeck in the 100 meter dash (sixth, 13.26) and Clay Danielson in the 1600 meter run (fourth, 4:39.96).

Hello, thx for RBS which is one of my favourite addons. Unluckily after 6.0 it damages my quest log. I cant read quest's details because the window closes a few seconds after it was opened (its back to "view quests" position). Ive checked addons one by one to find the conflict and im sure its RBS's fault. Any chance to repair it? I cant imagine the raid leading without that great addon.

So I have fallen thankfully not to hard� these last few weeks have been rough!! Boyfriend is working out of state for a few months� the house was sold/foreclosed and we are moving well I am moving in a week. I have so much going on. I was always the independent woman doing it all (thanks to the Army). Yet once we moved in together I realized I didn�t have to do so� and now he is away and I�m so wishing he was here, I�m realizing it�s not weak to want help�. Ughh..

I am very proud of my efforts and will continue to keep pushing.
I do P90x 6 days a week and cardio at the Gym ( usually the elliptical or body combat) 4 days a week.
So since April 15th I am down 20.5 lbs and 6.5 inches. I hit a plautaue this week but m okay with that but I am not letting it get to me anymore.
i no longer track my fodd on here since i am doing weight watchers and have my fitbit i track it all there, but i still love this site for motivation and talking to others
I am in love with P90x today is my last day of week 1 tomorrow is a rest day and I love it.... !!! Between that cardio 5 times a week and Weight Watchers I know I am going to reach my goal..
So i purchased a fit bit... simialr to the Body Bugg but cheaper and I have to say it didnt work the damn thing doesnt even stay on or sync ( the batter is charged) so at 100.00 its going back and Ill get a damn body bugg lol
