The two-story brick volume of the old cottage expands dramatically through the straight lines of Coreten steel to contrast the building with the softness of the surrounding greenery, and the ancient cottage's walls are literally broken by the penetrating steel volume. Though the exterior of the home provides contrast in dramatic fashion, the interior of the house expands with an open floor plan. The interior's white walls and ceilings help to give grandeur to the living space of the home. The floor to ceiling glass walls of rooms, such as the living room, provide the perfect extension of the occupant to natural surroundings.
The orientation of the volumes of the new building allowed for the family to create a master sweet below grade on one of the new Coreten steel wings. High clerestory windows provide a lot of light for this underground master. Through a staircase, the occupants emerge through the living room and into the galley kitchen within the old cottage. A small loft bedroom resides above the kitchen in the arching gabled attic of the cottage. There is not a single angle in this house that doesn't exude the personality of the old railway cottage.
The inventive reuse of this historic railway cottage can be seen as an innovative and sustainable way to reuse materials for new construction. The structure of the cottage was in great condition and this provided the architects the ability to slightly modify the walls for the new addition. The character of the old bricks help to bring so much security to the building. One can only imagine the kind of history that would be expressed if those bricks could talk.

Little Things You Can Do to Improve Your Life...Right Now!
Feeling stuck in a rut? You don't need to big changes to make your life better. Make these small, mindful moves to improve your mental and emotional well-being in a big way.
Use Chores to Connect
Think of it as a new weekend ritual: The next time you need to fold laundry, pay bills, or do dishes, grab your hubby and work in tandem instead of dividing and conquering (and catch up at the same time). Far from resenting making an equal contribution to household chores, men who pitch in report being happier, a University of Cambridge study found. "We actually think that's because their partner complains less," says study coauthor Anke Plagnol, Ph.D. Clearly, less kvetching leads to more cuddling. Besides, folding sheets is easier à deux.

Hennepin Canal Bike Paths
The Hennepin Canal Parkway follows an old towpath that was actually never used, although the locks and aqueducts are in still in place. It was originally built to link the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. The 105-mile path is level and easy; however, water is scarce along the way (found only at locks 21, 22 and the Visitor Center), so be sure to bring plenty, especially during hot days. The landscape varies from forest to grasslands to marsh to farmland, and the trail is particularly pleasing during fall, when the leaves are changing colors. The Hennepin Canal Parkway has become a cyclist's paradise and an exceptional spot for fishing, birding, horseback riding and a wealth of outdoor recreation.

Some info about the Nisekoi anime:
It will be animated by SHAFT and directed by Akiyuki Shinbo (Monogatari series, Arakawa Under the Bridge, Madoka Magica ...etc)
The PSI Kusuo Saiki adaptation will be a Flash Anime (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-07-03/saiki-kusuo-no-psi-nan-manga-adaptation-is-a-flash-anime)
Update: This will be released through the new Jump Live mobile app that Shueisha will launch in August. I have to admit, I'm disappointed that it won't air on TV. Then again, I mentioned that it's too soon for it to have an anime series, so this might be a mini series. (Thanks to revolution_d1 for letting us know)

Good to see Toriko get the attention it deserves, hope cross manage gets cancelled soon to. Thanks for putting this up.
Lil wayne is bad and you should feel bad
Yeah I love the current Bleach arc, it's the best. It was epic awesomeness a few months ago but the last 7-8 chapters have been pretty boring. You can read them in 2 minutes, I don't know how the author gets away with it. Besides a certain revelation, it's been useless chit-chat and head-scratching character intros for 2 months now. I think it should pick up in a few chapters though given the direction it's taking.
This arc is only better because NOTHING can be worse than Fullbring, which was basically manga's equivalent of filler. Pointless in every single way. Also, Fake Karakura Town was handled like shit and ended in a completely ridiculous way. Guess that is what happens when you make a character like Aizen who is pretty much indestructible.... The Quincy Arc has been well ahead of that garbage. But only when Ichigo and Squad Zero aren't around... The stuff with the Qunicies is ok, and Masaki's flashback was also great (till it was unceremoniously ended...) Still nothing too special about it, though. At least to me. Which is why I can see it so far down low.
Also, someone said the the volume sales are doing ok? Not really in that either. Each year for the past 3 or 4 years it has dropped over 1 MILLION total units sold a year. That is dreadful, and probably why the series is ending after this arc.
Better than where Naruto is right now, though. The crap going on in there is beyond awful. Don't know how it stays so damn high...
Assassination Classroom's Lead CP from issue #32:
WSJ Issue #33 Previews:
Ginga Patrol Jako will be a 10 chapters series. This shouldn't come as a surprise because we all knew Akira Toriyama won't do another long running series.

Selling 400k to 500k copies per volume is considered good. Yes the sales have dropped for Bleach, but in no way we can call selling an average of 500k copies a volume is bad.
Those series that are selling over a million copies a volume are the ones that are doing exceptionally great. Then you have One Piece which is on a level of its own selling an average of 3 million copies a volume.
The World's Greatest Detective is Finally on Crunchyroll!
A note about the rankings, no one is actually sure about the number of weeks the reader surveys take to get processed, whether it's 7 or 8 weeks. A recent debate was in the toc thread for mangahelpers.
There's a bunch of people that are pretty sure it's 7 weeks though.
On topic, I wonder how much longer World Trigger sits in the middle.
Aldnoah Zero disappoints.
@op, thank you for this thread, it is nice to see where things fall. I am kinda bummed to see some of the series that I enjoy in the English SJ doing so poorly. It will be sad to see them ending. I like Barrage, and it ended abruptly, I see a similar fate heading for Cross Manage and I am kind of bummed.
Believe It!
Issue 33's toc should be
Galactic Patrol Jako (Cover & Lead CP)
1- One Piece
2- Assassination Classroom
3- Naruto
4- Nisekoi
Toriko (Color)
5- Shokugeki no Soma
6- World Trigger
Haikyuu!! (Color)
7- Kuroko no Basuke
8- Saiki Kusuo no Sainan
9- Beelebub
10- Soul Catcher(S)
11- Bleach
12- Gintama
13- Kochikame
14- Smoky B.B. (First Ranking)
15- Mutou Black
16- Cross Manage
17- Koisuru Edison
Smoky B.B. and Mutou Black appear to be hated right now.
sorry about the previous numbering
Aldnoah Zero disappoints.
Love the top 3! One Piece remains King.
And Bleach on the verge of cancellation.
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

There's a numbering mistake for the last five. You made two series share 13th place and another two share 14th.
Alright so this ToC is somewhat unusual. World Trigger rose to 6th place. I don't have a problem with it, since I enjoy the series so it's good to see it up there. It's also good seeing Beelzebub rise up a little. Still, the unusual thing is Kuroko's and Saiki's rankings are low comparing their recent rankings.
I need to mention that the next cancellation round will begin next week. So we will have a series ending in Issue #34 and another one ending in Issue #35. It's probably going to be Cross Manage and Koisuru Edison.

LOL, I was super tired at the time of typing. I fixed the numbering now.
I was most surprised with Kuroko. I feel that you're probably right about those two ending. Edison and Cross Manage.
And Bleach is still being cushioned by a few bottom dwellers. Also I think the sales for it are still alright. I'm interested in knowing the sale numbers for World Trigger when volume 2 comes out.
Aldnoah Zero disappoints.
Yep you're right about Bleach. It's still selling fine.
Some people are already saying World Trigger will end because of volume 1's sales being less than 12k copies. They tend to forget that most new series sell like that. Kuroko's first volume sold less than 23k copies in its first week which is low, but look at it now . I still have hope for WT as its rankings are good, so hopefully the volume sales will increase. Also they already requested a second printing for volume 1 which means there is more demand to it than they originally thought.

Weekly Shounen Jump Rankings~?!!
I am overjoyed to see One Piece at the top, but that's quite expected of it.
Also Assassination Classroom, Shoukugeki no Soma, and Naruto are some of my favorite series to read so I'm also happy with their rankings.
Fee Fi Foe Fum
So I read Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, and it was a decent first chapter. Going into it, I didn't expect much, so I wasn't totally disappointed. As many might've predicted, this will feel more like Dr. Slump and early chapters of Dragon Ball than later chapters of DB.
I love how Toriyama gave the old man a Luffy like Straw Hat just like how Oda gave Luffy the Master Roshi mustache and beard for the Coliseum.
The World's Greatest Detective is Finally on Crunchyroll!
Oda gave Luffy a Master Roshi beard and Toriyama gave the old man a Luffy hat... Why do I not notice these things?
I was disappointed in the first chapter of Jako. Thought it would be funnier. Basically it was just 2 characters talking for 37 pages. I'll still read the next chapters to get a better idea and see the other characters. The drawings were nostalgic though.
I look forward to seeing what those new serializations, Kurokuroku and Hime Doll, look like. Hope they are Jump worthy.
Mr. Stealyogirl aka King Koopa. ;)
Yeah despite Bleach's sales (which have been slowly rising, though nowhere near what they once were), the series is generally being torn apart in the rankings...
Saw a post in mangahelpers stating that One Piece will be absent in issue #35, the July 29th issue. True or not, I hope Oda is alright.
Aldnoah Zero disappoints.

Watched this with my non-gamer girlfriend, and we both appreciated it.
It was pretty .....bad.
Video and fraps quality were really poor. And could they have perpetuated the stereotype of nerdy, fat, unhealthy, social outcasts even more? I mean, what rock did they find these ppl under lol.
where can we see this if we missed it..looking for it ....
Barzenak/Rigormorti/Anathon of Warcraft Commanders on Shadowsong.
link please..can not find
Barzenak/Rigormorti/Anathon of Warcraft Commanders on Shadowsong.
Thank u Dark. Patiently waiting for the upload . We were....raiding...
Barzenak/Rigormorti/Anathon of Warcraft Commanders on Shadowsong.
I really liked the bit about applying for a job and listing "surfer" as a hobby and finding that socially acceptable while listing "plays video games" would be frowned upon on the job app. That portion really sums up how I feel about how the professional world SHOULD consider serious MMO players. There is a large amount of coordination and planning that we learn as a skill through this.
I liked it, not sure how I would go about showing it to my non-gamer friends though. Don't think I could convince them to sit down for any documentary, let alone one about my crazy gaming addiction that keeps me in front of my computer 4-5 nights a week.
it is up in hd now. Awesome job all just wish it was ...longer to be honest and showed more of how hard people work to beat the game in both time and commitment as a team.
Barzenak/Rigormorti/Anathon of Warcraft Commanders on Shadowsong.
I've been raiding competively in a hardcore guild for a couple years now and was looking forward to seeing this documentary and watched the livestream premiere last night. What a disappointment!
First, the video quality was extremely poor, the fraps quality was horrendous.
Secondly, under what rock did they find these people? I was horrified to see that was who they selected to represent the gaming community. From the serial killer looking guy that couldn't maintain eye contact with the camera to the neck bearded, mic eating, foul-mouth to the unemployed guy and the college drop-out internet addict, they were all socially awkward, strange looking people.
Third, they said raiding was hard, but they didn't go into the why. The research, planning, work, the math - all of what goes into making a successful endgame raid possible was not even touched on. The little fraps clips they included looked simply like pew-pew boss is dead and left out the complexities of gameplay and task-oriented teamwork and interaction required for a success.
Fourth, I was completely baffled by the girl gamers comments that Lore made. Compare his "nice" good girl to the neck beard mentioned above.
This documentary only served to reinforce every negative stereotype of gaming possible. Kevin Michael Johnson committed a great disservice to the gaming community and I sincerely hope this film never sees the light of day.
Also, as I already said above and you completely ignored, the quality was because of the live stream. In the version of the movie released to donors a few months ago, it was not that distorted.
So if you want us to seriously listen to your objections please refrain from spamming your opinions and read what other people are saying.
As someone who's been raiding since The Burning Crusade:
I didnt mind the quality since I knew it was a live stream. Cant really expect it to be 1080p. I also know that a big movie studio didnt make this so despite the content being out dated I was fine with it. That said...
You didnt really explain what makes raiding hard besides the part of showing up each day and wiping. What is hard about raiding that is making you wipe? I was disappointed when the Lich King came up and all you said was "Yeah this dude is the hardest boss in the game", why was he the hardest boss in the game? Tell us why its hard to meet the DPS requirements and the dodging of shadow traps. You didnt show us any wipes on the Lich King either. You obviously didnt 1 shot it.
I would have also liked to see the video talk about the organizational challenges of getting a raid together, like recruiting 10 or 25 people that want to show up each night to raid.
Finally I didnt entirely like that it was all based on 1 guild. I would have liked to see people from different guilds interviewed.
I was very disappointed in this film. As an avid raider who has raided with a guild and as a pub, I have never encountered anyone as foul mouthed and embarrassing as the big guy screaming out so many profanities in this movie. I can't think of a single person I would dare to share this horrible production with. After months of looking forward to this film, it was not only a huge let down, but offensive as well. This level of profane and crude language was totally uncalled for and does not represent any of the people I play WOW with. What was the point of this type of content? In my opinion all this documentary did was portray us as crude, racist, and uncouth sub humans. The media is going to have a hay day with this film, and the WOW community will be the ones to pay for it. It could have been fairly good without all of the rude cursing and negative remarks about women gamers. Was this film screened at all before being shown? I hope that everyone who is embarrassed and appalled with the content of this movie speaks up and takes a stand, because you can bet your bottom dollar that the news media will be all over this very soon. I for one love the game of World of Warcraft and in no way do I want to be associated with what this film portrays as the average raider.
I think the flawed component was that it focused on 10 man raiding which in ICC was effectively a joke even on HM until you got to Lich King. Put this in a 25 man setting and things would have probably been different seeing as how 25 mans have always been harder and there is little room for error in certain aspects of raiding, whereas in a 10 man you fix one players errors and kill the boss, whereas in 25 man you are dealing with 15 more people who can screw up mechanics.

Here's a relatively unknown title that I stumbled across one day on eBay. Created primarily as an educational tool,Secrets of the Pyramids contains a discovery mode and a movie mode that educate about ancient Egypt. Of greater importance here, it has an adventure component that is brief but a lot of fun.You play Harold Peabody on his quest for the hidden tomb of Ankh-Re. The interface is simple, consisting of look and use icons. BUT, don't think this makes the game easy. Items can be somewhat hard to find, and failure to take heed of warning results in death in most rooms of the tomb.The game has one save game (by pressing S) and games are restored by pressing R. It is possible to be killed in this game, and at least one puzzle (at the very start of the game) can prevent progress in the game if an inventory item is not used correctly.There is some light humor in the game (take note of the body outside the tomb) and Harold Peabody is a lot of fun to be.Graphics are great for the time and hold up reasonably well today but please do not play this if you need Syberia visuals to enjoy a game. Sound is sparse-a few odd sound effects and an upbeat Neverhood-like theme. Elsewhere, this becomes more of an adventure soundtrack akin to the cliffhanger serials of the fifties. There is no speech nor is there any need for it.If you've ever wanted to be an amateur archeologist, don't go past Secrets of the Pyramids!Outside the PyramidClimb up the stairs.Entrance to the TempleThe body of the last unfortunate adventurer lies outside the entrance to the temple, guarded by a vulture. Give the vulture the hamburger from your inventory. It flies away.Examine the body of Mr. I. Jones. Get the matchbox from under the fedora. Take the note from the skeletons right hand. It tells you that Osiris is a puzzle solution. Pick up the English-Hieroglyphics translator book. Get thehandkerchief from under the belly of the skeleton.At left is a medium sized rock. Recover the candle from under it.Walk to the door to the temple.Door to the TempleWipe the dust off the door with the handkerchief. A depression is revealed. Combine the matches and the candle. Push the depression.AntechamberHarold lights the torch in the antechamber. A 4x3 grid on the floor has various hieroglyphics in it. Remember the clue? Guide Harold to the following squares to spell out Osiris (in (x, y) notation):
The door in front of Harold opens. Go through it.StairsGoing down these stairs, there is a door on Harold's left and one at the bottom of the stairs. Next to the first door are some hieroglyphics. They read:"Death to all who enter"This is a warning about the door at the left.Go through the door at the bottom of the stairs.Hall of the StatuesTwo statues have collapsed from their alcoves. Harold must put together the statue at right.
Slide the statue into the middle alcove. The statues slide back revealing a secret door. Go through it.Green Floored LandingStairs lead up to Harold's left and other stairs in front of him lead down. A message on the wall reads:"Beware the doors"Go down the stairs.Stairway of TreasuresThis set of stairs features many treasures ensconced at Harold's left. The message on the wall reads:"Beware door three"Open the door at the bottom of the stairs.Hall of the GodsThe plaques with the gods names have all been moved. Harold must return them to their rightful positions. Failure results in the gods fury.The gods are (from left-right):
The plaques (from left-right, front-back) are:
When placed before the correct god, they lock into place.The gods reward Harold with a golden ankh.Return to the landing and go up the stairs.Three Door RoomRead the message on the pillar. It reads:"Beware door two"Considering the two warnings, go through door one.PassagewayWalk down to the golden area at Harold's right.Golden DoorA statue stands on either side of the door. Each has a scarab around its neck. Collect the blue scarab from the right hand statue.Enter the door.Scroll RoomPlace the ankh in the depression at the left side of the mural. A door opens in the red fresco.Go through the revealed door.Burial ChamberSix pots stand in front of a green wall. There is a depression in the door. Place the scarab in the depression.One of the rocks (five on the left, four on the right) moves. Harold must push the rocks in the order they move. This is a random Simon-type puzzle. Harold must push six in sequence to be successful.When he enters the sixth one correctly, the tomb shakes and a sarcophagus comes up through the floor to the strains of Also Sprach Zarathrusta-it is the sarcophagus of Ankh-Re! Harold has found it. He is lauded in the press and plans for a sequel are revealed in the articles.Alas, Harold Peabody is as gone as the pharaohs of ancient times

Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg
ndmike88 Posts: 155
edited March 20 in Volkswagen
Did VW print one??? Does such a brochure exist??? The 08 Jetta brochure lists the S, SE, and the SEL models. No Wolfsburg edition.
edpp Posts: 2I bought my car and as soon as I got it noticed that clock ran like REALLY FAST, contacted dealer which did not know what to do, later they and I contacted VW of America, it has been 3 months and nothing has been done to fix it. I need this to be fixed I did not buy a new car to have it not WORK!!!! Anyone else with the problem???
classicjetta Posts: 6This is a very common problem unfortunately. I have an 06 Jetta and it does the same thing. AFAIK, there is currently no fix for it. There was a TSB for this problem on the Touareg, but my dealer refused to run the procedure on the Jetta. (Stupid, I know). I just live with it. It does make you arrive early to your destinations though. :P
spaschos Posts: 1Hey!
I'm new to posting here on edmunds and had a question or 2. I'm looking at buying the 2007 Wolfsburg Jetta. I have been told nothing but horrible things about the Jetta, save a couple of friends who love their VW's. What is some of your opinions on the car?
Is the Jetta a :lemon: ?
ruking1 Posts: 15,167Per se, NO! You can definitely get a lemon LESS VW! But given some of the issues that you have probably heard about, the odds are slightly better that you MIGHT get a lemon, vs say a competing model Honda or Toyota. Some of those folks who rate these things say surveyed customers rate domestics higher than Euro cars. My own take is the quality on VW is almost FAR better than either Honda or Toyota. Honda and Toyota do reliability WELL as well have less % lemons with lower quality than does VW does with much higher quality.
jakebnimble Posts: 1I recently purchased a 2007 Jetta Wolfsburg edition. Twice, I have had an issue with it while parked on a downward slope. When I go to start the car and put it in reverse, the car will only move forward and will not reverse. Then, the brake and gas gets really tight and I cannot push them at all. I have to turn off the car and restart it several times before the issue is resolved. Any thoughts? I will be taking it into the dealer this weekend.
I'm looking to purchase this vehicle around the beginning of august time frame. When does the '08 come out? I'm trying to wait to use this as leverage as i think i can get it for 18K or 18.5 at this time in addition to financing at the dealer. Whats the going rate in July and does the 08 come out in august, anyone the purchased this model recently what did you pay?
Hello! i just leased a 07 jetta wolfsburg..i was just wondering if there was a difference in driving in regular or sport..does sport take more gas? i personally love the way it drives in sport but i never do because i fear it will eat all my gas..one bad thing is that i filled up my tank yesterday and its like two lines above half..it definitely goes fast..any tips as to saving gas?? :P
I've heard it takes 500, 1000, and 2000 miles to break it in..which one is it? i also noticed that the gas has gotten better. i filled up my tank about three days ago and i have half a tank now..way better then before!!(once every 3 days)..anyways..again does anyone know if there is a difference in driving in sport or regular? :shades: thanks!!

VW offers 0% APR for 36 months, cannot get better than that.
The inventory is running out, and will run out in some regions by the end of August, and the '08's are not even out yet, so you might get stuck without a car if you get too much of a "leverage".
Thank you for the answers..."Out the Door, total price you pay driving off the lot"...I guess that would mean including tax, title all fees??? But not including interest?
Thanks for answering, sorry to sound so dumb...
We like the '07 Wolfsburg (AUTO TRANS.), had it 8 weeks, already put 2500 miles on it...I guess if you want the Wolfsburg, we did the right thing then by going ahead & buying & not just waiting on 2008, did not know Wolfsburg only comes out every other year...20 more HP not important to us, anything else better on '08 Jetta than the '07 Wolfsburg? Did you get manual trans.?
Thank you all...
scottwvu, looks like I paid about $900 more than you did, I also got AUTO, thought I got the car for $600 below invoice?? When did you buy, should a few weeks make that much difference? I bought this one the First week of July, they said the ones that came in after Feb or March or sometime spring were $95 more, also $200 or so more tax or some fee in Dallas area...I thought I did pretty well, maybe not? I made them all mad, talking to several on phone & email, trying to get lower price, each tried to beat the other...asked for below invoice price, my first time to buy a car alone...not fun, a woman dealing with a bunch of not very nice salesman, 1 was pretty nice, but on average I don't really believe a word they say, I know some are good people & honest, I was married to a former car salesman, ... I know it's too late now on this one, buy I would like to know if I got a good deal & if it was $600 below invoice....How did you go about getting the price you wanted, ask for below invoice?? I am about to buy another vehicle in the next few weeks....this Wolfsburg was for my daughter & she loves it..... thanks.
I highly recommend the 2007 Jetta (base or wolfsburg). My mpg has gone up to 25 already at 1500 miles. It is running smoother. It stalled a few times as I am getting used to driving a stick shift after 15 years.
What you have paid is fair in my opinion. Did you get 0% for 36 months? You may buy the Rabbit for your daughter which has the same engine and transmission as Jetta. 2 door Rabbit model may be cheaper than 4 door Jetta.
I researched the price people paid in Edmunds, and went to shop at the dealer on the last day of July. It appears that sales people are eager to make a deal. Within 1 minute the asking price went down by $1500. I bought it from Boardwalk VW in Richardson, TX. Ask for Marcus, he would give you a good deal. He was very nice. Hurry as the 2007 models are selling quickly. Also, try for 0% financing.
Good luck
