Everton climbed to fourth place in the Barclays Premier League table thanks to a convincing 2-0 win over Norwich City at Goodison Park.
Goals from Gareth Barry and Kevin Mirallas helped Everton claim all three points and move above cross-city rivals Liverpool, who travel to Stoke City on Sunday.
Barry's powerful strike, his third since arriving on a season-long loan from Manchester City, sailed in from 25 yards midway through the first half, and Mirallas sealed the win with a superb free-kick in the 59th minute.
Everton produced an excellent team performance, demonstrating ruthlessness against opponents who had claimed 1-1 draws on their last two trips to Goodison Park.
Everton, who presented new signing Aiden McGeady to fans before the match, recalled captain Phil Jagielka following his recovery from a hamstring injury, but were missing midfielder Ross Barkley (toe), while Leroy Fer returned from suspension for Norwich.
The hosts started brightly, immediately settling into a quick tempo that forced Norwich back, and could have taken the lead in the 12th minute when Romelu Lukaku headed Mirallas' cross wide from three yards.
Barry produced a moment of quality to break the deadlock in the 23rd minute, charging forward before unleashing a left-footed strike from 25 yards that hit the right-hand side of the net and gave Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy no chance.
Norwich's record signing, Ricky van Wolfswinkel, almost equalised with a curling 20-yard effort that was well saved by Tim Howard, while Leon Osman and Seamus Coleman shot over as Everton pressed for a second.
Howard was off his line quickly to deny Hooper on the stroke of half-time, but it was Everton who posed the bigger threat after the break.
After Jagielka and James McCarthy passed up half-chances, Mirallas provided the second goal with a stunning free-kick that curled into the top-left corner from 20 yards.
Lukaku was denied by a diving save from Ruddy and then had a goal ruled out for offside, while a late Norwich revival was highlighted by a Robert Snodgrass header that hit the post.
Nathan Redmond, Bradley Johnson and Van Wolfswinkel also had attempts on goal, but Everton stood firm to complete a valuable win.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "It was an entertaining game and important to score that second goal.
"Overall we created a lot of chances, maybe that clinical touch in the final third was missing but I couldn't be happier the way we had a clean sheet. Some of the phases of our game were fantastic.
"Ross Barkley had a knock on his toe and we're going to assess him, but it looks like he's going to be out for a while," said the former Wigan Athletic boss.
"It could be (broken) and that's what we're worried about. It's a very similar incident to the one Leighton Baines had.
"Before we say what it is, we're going to have more scans but the fear is it's a fracture.
Norwich City manager Chris Hughton: "They were good. We knew that before we came here, there isn't a side who has come here and had more possession this season.
"What you need to do is stick in there. We had the best chance of the half through Gary Hooper, they score a spectacular goal.
"In the second half I thought we gave a good account of ourselves but we were up against a really good unit."

Just wanted to say thanks a lot Lore for telling me how much pressure I'm gonna be under when I get the first legendary!
Just wanted to say thanks a lot Lore for telling me how much pressure I'm gonna be under when I get the first legendary!
Last edited by Mortauk; 06-21-2012 at 06:07 PM. Reason: spelling
Hi guys, when I watched this WM on the Youtubes earlier, I signed up just to run a few ideas past Lore. I'll c&p here. It's long and rambling, especially for a first post, but bear with it. TL;DR version: move to a blended legendary model which mixes collectibles-built component, and an RNG drop. Sorry if this has been discussed in previous threads; I tried to see if there'd been a previous thread about one, but I didn't see one on any front pages of any subforums.
Hey Lore, just caught your weekly Marmot today and had to sign up just to shoot a few ideas past you - you said you guys might discuss this topic on Legendary tonight, so I thought it might be useful. It mainly covers two aspects - the idea of collectibles to build (in which I have a few design ideas but generally agree with you), and the idea of "how you award legendaries" to people in the raid.
1.) I agree with the idea that the collectibles should be easier throughout the tiers. Why not make two levels of collectibles, but solely in raids (daily quests are annoying to me as a raider, imo)? One level that requires a high number of a generic collectible (which drops for everyone like a DMF drop), but drops off every boss in the xpac. That way, people starting later can catch up by doing the current raid, and maybe pugging the old raid (and in dedicated guilds, run old instances for new members). Then, a second tier of collectibles that drop off specific bosses which allow the sense of progression through the tiers for the person who's content to just farm in the current tier, forcing him to have to kill previous bosses just once. If you have a slew of new recruits, wait for them all to get all the generic pieces, then run the old tiers so they all get their boss-specific drops at once.
As an example using this current xpac, say you needed 500 shards of awesome, 1 soul of the Blackwing, 1 soul of the Council, 1 soul of the Winds, 1 soul of the Firelands, 1 soul of Deathwing. T11 drops 1 shard per boss (2 on heroic), T12 drops 2 per boss (3 heroic), T13 drops 3 per boss (4 per heroics). The boss drops come from Nefarian, Cho'gall, Al'akir, Ragnaros, Deathwing, in any difficulty. That way, if I started raiding in T13, I could potentially get 32 shards per week if I only did T13 heroic full clear, but if I cleared each raid heroic every week, I could get (13x2 + 7x3 + 32 =) 79 shards a week, and be caught up to the rest of the raid in 2 months of serious work (obviously the numbers can be futzed with). Then, once you get your 500, and say you only did it in t13, you do the old raids once, get your boss drop, and bam, legendary breath of whatever. I think this would also prevent consistent raiders from feeling like they have to go back in to old raids, or are somehow otherwise penalized, because they'll probably finish the collectibles portion long before t13 or even t12 if the numbers are balanced correctly.
2) I don't think everyone should get a legendary. This is why I think the two-tiered system of "building something" via a collectible, and applying it to a drop, has such a good potential for it. EVERYONE will have the ability to build the breath - but who gets the legendary can still be up to RNG. I know back in the day people didn't really like it when the random scrubs got random legendaries just drop for them the first time they step into the instance, but this is counteracted by needing the collectible-built breath. Say these Sha-touched weapons aren't like, the entirety of the loot table of the end boss of T14, like Madness's loot table was. Say there's a rather small chance of it dropping. Maybe it's 5% on H-Sha of Anger, 3% off normal Sha, 2% off ANY heroic boss, and a 0.5% chance off any normal boss - change the numbers however you want, but I'm an 8/8H hunter and definitely believe heroic raiders should have a higher chance at these drops. You can then extend these drop chances in later tiers. You can make the weapon solely decorative until the breath is applied, even (IE, the breath purifies the weapon), which keeps the integrity of BiS in place for other weapons which drop.
If you do this, even if random player A gets the drop off the Halfus equivalent in a pug of T14 during T16 content in a stroke of brilliant luck, he just doesn't automatically get a legendary, he has to build the breath. And Raid X doesn't have the drama of figuring out who gets the first legendary past the normal drama of "who gets the first (and perhaps only) randomly dropped caster staff" because everyone who raids in an organized manner will easily be able to build the breath and whether they get the legendary is a matter of RNG. Maybe I like this idea because I'm a hunter in a 10 man and if the gun drops it'll automatically be mine, and it doesn't work as well in a 25 where you have 6 healers vying for the same healer mace, but I dunno.
Potential downside to this system: You have a lot of raiders feeling like they wasted time on collectibles, but never got the Sha-touched weapon drop. This can be alleviated by making higher drop rates in later tiers or heroic tiers, and maybe H-Garrosh will have a 25% chance to drop a Sha-touched weapon.
Anyways, I know that was longwinded, but hope it made you think a bit. Feel free to use any of it.
I think it would be interesting if to catch up with the current legendary raiding tier they gave access to the previous tiers quest items in the raid finder just increasing the the number of drops needed or something along those lines to still make the quests fill epic and not short change the heroic raiders or force guilds to run old content for one person. The only issue I would have with this is that it would make it easier for alts to get close to getting a legendary taking away from the legendary fill.
Guild achieve to get every type of MoP legendary? Yes please.
If this isn't what Blizz is already planning to do with things I hope they watch and see how fair this would be for everyone involved.
Hi lore, i really like the 'work for the entire expansion for X'. A LOT of effort that gets payed off at the end, may be something that people try to work for even when content is 'irrelevent' because they want to get it. (May help keep old raids alive for a bit longer)
Personally, when I first saw all the icons for the possible legendaries, the first thing that popped in my mind was, "How will they balance that?"
Then it hit me.
What if all the legendaries have the same item budget as their epic counterparts(same ilevel of course), but had a unique unstackable buff that helped EVERYONE in the raid? (So the breath of the black prince would give an item the unique buff, but nothing more)
Something like 2% increased damage/ 2% increased heal for the entire raid and such.Then, it wouldn't matter who really got it, and it really helps reward the guild/raid group for getting a person through the legendary questline. (Would also help if the questline involved the raid as a whole a lot more, something like the Dragonwrath questline. The fangs of the father questline was really only rogue focused)
It might be a boring for the person actually getting the legendary, but I think it kills a lot of the drama revolving around the legendary.
Yes, the person with the legendary needs to stick around the guild so that the raid gets the benefit, but that is going to be an issue with legendaries or any other powerful items anyway.
Legendary stacking will be a non-issue, since the buff is unstackable. No more drama over which guilds have more legendaries over the other, since most top guilds will have at least one, so they're on almost equal footing (Dont need to 'steal' other legendary players)
PvP arena 'balance' will be a bit better even when legendaries are involved (At least less then it does so now)
For BGs\ RBGs, it may be a bit bigger but its not too much of a difference (If the buff isnt too op, I think 2% damage/healing is fine because it will be like having an extra player buff.)
What do you think?
Do you think it takes away too much from the single player getting the legendary?
EDIT: I think this could go well w/ the 'everyone' gets a legendary at the end of the expac too, maybe a bit 'underwhelming for an expansion long effort though.

i'm under the impression that those quest items will be personal drops like a charm of good fortune.. so not everybody will get it, it's going to be random on personal basis.
They did that loot system for LFR and for charms of good fortune to have a personal roll, so it would be ideal to use it again.
I'm not really worried for people getting behind.. I mean, that is a reward for continuing playing the game, just make sure the quest items drop every tier and people will just be behind but will be able to farm it in current content.
The issue really isn't with people getting behind, but more so with not making whole guilds have to run old content just for one person who may have had to take a leave of absence from the game for maybe a tier. The idea behind making it available to LFR after the next tiers released is to prolong the life of these raids as well.
Your math was fine Lore. My hatred of legendaries increased if anything once I got my staff. It was just the last page in a whole book of frustration and disappointment, like you've said before - the only people who don't dislike legendaries, are those who don't have to deal with them.
I also think I'd actually like the "build a legendary over an expansion" solution, I really wish it wouldn't be overpowered as all hell, something that rewarded the player with a status symbol that said that you'd put in the effort without a 15% dps increase, but I doubt it would happen.
Why blizzard thinks people need a mandatory performance increase is beyond me, legendaries (used) to only go to HC raiders - I've yet to find any that are cool with overpowered as hell classes.

Hey Lore, I've been a long-time lurker, and had this idea, so I thought I would post.
What if the all parts of the legendary chain come from the Charm of Good Fortune? The quest chain would begin with an item that dropped from using the charm (perhaps even the weapon / shield that would eventually be upgraded). Then all subsequent shards and such would drop from using the charm, in the 1-3 shards per week range. These shards would be in addition to the normal loot dropped from using the charm.
In subsequent tiers, the legendary quest items could then drop from the *current* tier of content. So if someone just starts raiding in tier 15, the drop-rate of the quest-items could be increased (still while using the charm) until the raider is caught up to the current tier.
Another way would be to have the shards drop off the bosses as usual, but, for someone to catch up, they could use the charms to get the previous tier's legendary quest drops/shards.
Anyway, great show, as usual!

Meh, legendaries should be obtained by skill and not by time spent farming and that's basically it. It should NOT be a reward based on just effort, but on doing stuff that other players or even entire raiding teams are not capable of. We already are at the point that the legendary quest chains and especially the in-raid tasks require no skill whatsoever basically letting everyone who is part of a raiding guild (even normal modes, and why normal mode raiders should have access to the best weapon in game is beyond me) get one. Which then starts causing the balance issues.
Now I actually prefer the 'choose whoever you are gonna give the legendary to' method, because in my guild people just care about progression and more often than not trust the decisions of the GM and officer council. And even if they are not satisfied by the decision, there is minimal whining. I mean, if you have a lot of whining about who gets the legendary in your guild, then something is quite wrong with your community...
What if they just allowed T14 drops to drop in later tiers and so on, but with a weekly cap on them so you don't feel inclined to go back and farm old content.
What if legendaries were simply a cosmetic reward for beating the content?
Their power would be almost exactly the same as the alternative item. What made them unique would be some nice effect.
Compare Dragonwrath with Lightning Rod (normal). Let's assume for simplicity's sake that both are obtainable in the same tier, as the 397 staff in Firelands has crit and mastery instead of haste and hit which makes comparing them harder.
What if Dragonwrath lost the spell duplication? The Legendary would be a purely cosmetic upgrade with an awesome flight form use.
What if the hidden /use on Fandral's flamestaff for cat druids was a cosmetic addition to make a weapon "legendary"?
Then it wouldn't matter if everybody got it. It would have no implications for future tier tuning because a full legendary raid would have the same potential damage output as a non-legendary raid. It would stop setups with 8 of a single class wielding the legendary for a boss. It would get rid of the discussion of "who benefits the most from the weapon". And if everybody could get one if they chose to put the effort in, it would remove the major headaches that raid leaders get when posed the question "why didn't I get the legendary?"
Hey man, been watching your videos for a while now an i realy agree with what youve been saying, the black market auctions is a realy weird addition to wow, i kind of hope it doesnt make it out of the beta stages as it realy doesnt make sense to be rewarding those who have alot of gold, with high end raid gear.
Anyways, my question, Do you think it would be a good idea to merge servers in wow?
Let me explain as that my seem a bit rash, but alot of the servers are low populated. There are very few guilds on my server and none have any real progression with pvp and pve, purely because we just dont have the nombers to support the guild. For example my old guild on Shadowsong, Excito, we had 5/8 progression on heroic, this was the highest on horde at the time. We were casual raiders, and a tight little bunch, but ofcourse people leave get bored ect especialy with the wait for MoP and Diablo just coming out. We had nobody to fill the places, not even pugging would provide enough scrubs:L
Its not just the guild aspect either, the auction houses are very basic with only a few epics to be bought, and generally the gems and enchants are sold by the same person, who must be making a killing out of it.. the lack of social aspect towards the game has realy dimmed my experience, even my friends have began to quit as they dont want to have to fork out extra money towards the game just to play on a resonably populated server, which is in the end the only alternative. If we were to do it then the whole load of us would have to do it, which would be a substantial amount of money going to blizzard.. again.
Alot of other games have been forced to do this, such as Lotro, which crashed and burned recently, and warhammer online, also taking a burning decent and closing down. I think this happened purely because they where, 'bad' games, and that the servers should have been merged sooner to keep their core of players still tentative. This is not what i expect to happen to wow. It will never get that bad as it is a, 'good' game. Yet i still think the server merging is a good idea just to ensure those who are on the verge of quiting wow because of this factor, the lack of a community.
Trade channel is dead. Which isnt always a bad thing, but its an aspect of the game crucial to puging, trading, occasional banter and is iconic of wow to have such a community feeling, that you often loose in other games, in my opinion atleast.
On a last lil note, im not a wow fanboy its just i realy want this game to be awsome again as iv had alot of fun playing it, i do play other games such as diablo and league, i also have my own youtube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/Joebmx945/featured
Sorry for making this a long ass read but iv tried to make it as detailed and explanential as possible. Cheers.
** This is a side note for Lore. I am trying to understand the word that you have been trying to say for 2 weeks "esoolage" ?? Are you trying to say the verb " Soulager" relieve in French ? If so try this " sue ( like the first name ) la ( like the music note ) jay, "suelajay"
Now back to your regular programming...
Assuage is pronounced "a-swayj"
No emphasis on the first "a" vowel sound, "ay" for the second vowel sound.

The word he's trying to use is "assuage" and he doesn't even come close to pronouncing it correctly. Lore... do us all a favor, type "Assuage" into google, and press the pronounce button. You're doing it wrong.

I think you forgot one major issue when it comes to the fact that it might remove drama. aka people getting benched.
To give my personal (warlock) example, when my guild was working on heroic ragnaros burst in P3 and burst aoe was super important ( this was pre the big nerf and the race was still on on my server) so for that reason it was much better to take the SP/boomkin/mage combo for our 10 man ( in many cases one of the healer priests went shadow even) while progressing. But I was basically #11 in case someone couldn't make it.
Thing is in many cases this resulted in for the last month and a half the same team rushing through the first 6 and then working on raggy. And then me and quite a few other people being there on 'standby' for 4 days a week for a long while.
I can tell you that was not a fun period. If you add to that the fact that being benched means getting pushed back on getting a legendary? That would make it *really* annoying
Or another example would be trials for your guild, going to push a regular member a week back on his legendary because the trial needs to get a chance too ? Becomes pretty icky.
It would require a lot of balancing so that you only need to do a certain % of the available bosskills in a the period of a tier to get 100% completion or something.

Yeah, Get rid of Legendaries for the following reason:
PvP will hate it and it's a factor in this game. Period.
The reason will be that PvP players will feel slighted to not get a good weapon like this. Unless you make some sort of chain that allows PvPers to make their own weapon, and then it becomes the question that legendaries become all over the place and lose the idea of Legendary status.
I just don't see any feasible way to get this in without pissing someone off. Not in a game as huge as this.

(Suitable from 0-2 years)
Order in the next 18 hours 1 minutes and select next working day for delivery to mainland UK on Tuesday
The multi-award winning Clevamama™ Splash & Wrap Baby Bath Towel is ideal for newborns to toddlers.
The Clevamama™ towel is the largest of its kind on the market and is designed to fasten around your neck like an apron, allowing you to safely pick your baby up from the bath with your two free hands. Completely wrap your baby and cover your baby's head with the hood to keep in the all-important heat.
This extra large towel also helps prevent mum or dad's clothes getting wet by their splashing toddler! Made from 100% cotton, it is guaranteed to be gentle and absorbent on baby's delicate skin.
Fastens around your neck like an apron
To completely wrap around your baby or toddler
Allows you to keep two hands free when lifting baby out of the bath
Perfect for drying between fingers and toes
Great big towel, very handy apron style and super soft and absorbant. I bought 3 of them as they are very good quality.
Great product - say service
Great idea. Towel can be worn as an apron, and when you lift baby out of the bath, you can wrap him/her quickly to keep warm. No more fiddling with one or more towels, and no more getting wet while the dripping little one is clinging to you after the bath!
I love the idea and design of the towel however it is not big enough for our 10 month old - I can get the towel around her but cannot put the hood over her head. It looks massive when you put it on but when I went to lift our little one out of the bath it would not fit over her head. It needs washing a few times when first used as it left me plastered in cream fluff. Recommended for smaller babies - I would love one that does for bigger babies though.
I love this towel -I got one when my son was born and soon bought a second one as it is far better than all the small hooded towels on the market. It's a lovely big size, good quality towel that has stayed soft after many washes. I still use it on my son (he's now 16 months old, I have to pull it up between his legs to get the hood on so it won't fit round him in the way it did when he was little, but he's a chunky toddler so that's only to be expected!) I have my second baby on the way now and will be getting this again.

A new hospital is under construction in the Town of Corning. Just getting started on a large project like that is a major accomplishment. Getting it paid for is another feat altogether, but Guthrie Corning Hospital officials are more than halfway to their goal. YNN's Katie Husband tells us more about the facility and how the money is coming in.
CORNING, N.Y. -- "We're here celebrating another milestone for building our new Corning Hospital," said Shirley Magana, Corning Hospital, president.
That milestone is tied to the Building Healthier Communities fundraising campaign. The goal, $4 million for the new hospital in the town of Corning. Wednesday, they started accepting funding donations from the public.
"We also recognize a responsibility that comes along with that, to assure that we are serving the community in a way that they want to be served," said Magana.
Of the $4 million needed, $3 million has already been raised, thanks in large part to $1.5 million donation from the Corning Incorporated Foundation, building on a strong relationship with the community.
"We both serve the residents of this community and Corning Hospital is a long time partner and we're very, very proud to do whatever we can to advance their mission," said Karen Martin, Corning Inc. Foundation, president.
With every donation they receive, Guthrie Corning Hospital will be able to provide more services in the new state-of-the-art facility.
"So, it is much bigger than what we are currently working at treating our patients and is a state-of-the-art facility. That means we will have the best radiation oncology equipment here which we have been waiting for here, from my understanding, almost ten years in this area," said Dr. Aref Aghelr, Corning Guthrie Cancer Center, medical director.
A long awaited facility that will finally come a reality on July 12th, 2014 when the hospital is expected to open.
After the new hospital opens the old facility in the City of Corning will be demolished to make way for green space.
The hospital's president says eventually ,a developer will be brought in to construct something to benefit the needs of Corning.

Teachers rally; Lewis calls Emanuel 'liar and bully'

Updated: October 5, 2012 6:14AM
Tactically, it was a risk to hold a Labor Day rally in the Loop, where there was no audience of office workers to influence and the targeted decision makers were absent.
But with a potential teachers strike approaching, the Chicago Teachers Union and its friends among public employee unions put on an impressive show of strength Monday, drawing thousands of red-shirted supporters to a Daley Plaza rally that turned into a protest march around City Hall and outside the Clark Street headquarters of the Chicago Public Schools.
With a fervor reminiscent of the Occupy Chicago marches, the teachers chanted labor slogans, waved placards and were fired up by several speakers, including CTU President Karen Lewis, who brought the crowd to a roar when she called Mayor Rahm Emanuel "a liar and a bully."
Thousands of teachers and public workers attended the speeches in the Loop plaza, with many wearing red shirts in support of the teachers. After the rally, the crowd moved across Clark Street to march around the City Hall-County Building, then headed south on Clark to the CPS offices.
The crowd in the plaza appeared to be at least 10,000 people. The teachers union said 18,000 people showed up. Police blocked off traffic in the otherwise lightly populated Loop as the orderly protest briefly took over the streets.
Teachers in the crowd said the school system is treating them with disrespect and, in its drive to cut expenses, refuses to spend on needed facilities such as libraries and lunchrooms. "All the parents have told me that they support a strike. They realize it's about the kids," said Tiera Robinson, who teaches preschool special education at Hughes Elementary School.
"The news media makes it out that it's just about salary," said teacher Mike McCormick. "But really we are fighting for public education and strong neighborhoods."
Asked about parents or taxpayers who might oppose a strike, McCormick replied, "It's really the only action we have to advocate for the type of education that all students in Chicago deserve."
The rally, which lasted more than two hours, came a week before more than 26,000 teachers and other school workers could hit the street, disrupting what would be just the second week of school for hundreds of thousands of Chicago public schoolchildren.
"The commitment to the children of the City of Chicago is in our hearts, in our minds," Lewis told the cheering crowd. "It's in the work we do."
Lewis called the ongoing negotiations "a fight for the very soul of public education — not only in Chicago, but everywhere."
Lewis at one point lit into Emanuel, saying: "He's a liar and a bully." She accused the mayor of advocating that money not be spent on the lowest-scoring 25 percent of students, and then denying saying so.
The union leader has said before that Emanuel, before he was sworn in last year, made comments about the lowest 25 percent of students being unworthy of educational support. Emanuel has denied making the comment.
On Monday, the mayor tried his best to remain above the fray.
"On the name-calling, this is not about Rahm Emanuel or Karen Lewis," said Emanuel spokeswoman Sarah Hamilton. "It's about the kids of the city of Chicago and ensuring they have a full school day and year."
As for the teacher talks, Hamilton said, "They're making progress. They met all weekend. They have meetings scheduled all week. The right people are at the table to reach an agreement that will keep our kids in school learning and that is fair to the teachers."
Lewis also charged that public workers are being made scapegoats for social problems and that Emanuel downplays progress in the schools. Last year, "the graduation rate soared. The test scores soared, and where is the story about that from that office?" Lewis said, pointing in City Hall's direction.
Other public employee unions, and a couple in the private sector, lent visible support. Large groups came from AFSCME Council 31, Service Employees International Union Local 1 and the unions for Chicago Police and firefighters.
CTU Vice President Jesse Sharkey said Monday a decision to push back the strike date at Wednesday's meeting was highly unlikely, given that negotiators over the weekend had been focusing on "clearing the underbrush'' and not attacking the main issues.
"Deadlines are important. We don't want to drag this thing out,'' Sharkey said. "Having said that, you can never say never.''
Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard on Monday would only say that "people are working hard to come to a resolution" but would not otherwise comment on contract talks or the system's contingency plans.
Brizard said he was "happy'' schools were opening Tuesday to the long-awaited systemwide longer day, and had seen many positive signs in schools in the last few days.
Many academic indicators are pointed upward, so "we can't afford to have a single day missed,'' Brizard said. 'My only hope is that teachers get to continue to teach and don't have their work stopped.''
Ald. Carrie Austin (34th), speaking in Charlotte, N.C., where she is attending the Democratic National Convention, called a strike "inevitable." And the powerful alderman, chairwoman of the City Council's Budget Committee, laid the blame squarely on Lewis.
"They've already decided this is what they're going to do. I think they want to" strike, Austin said after an Illinois delegation breakfast hosted by the Chicago Federation of Labor.
"Karen Lewis, their president, says they want to. [She's essentially saying], 'I'm gonna show you.' That's what she projects. . . . They don't want to talk. They don't want to negotiate. Not them — her. I don't believe she wants to talk. That's unfair to our children because education has to be more important than you getting an additional two percent."
Austin advised parents whose children attend Chicago Public Schools to make alternative plans for their kids.
"If you allow your child to fall behind because of the strike, it's your responsibility also," Austin said.

The Poster in Europe / Europe in Posters)
The majority of posters date from the turn of the 20th century, when the decorative style known as Sezession in Vienna, Art Nouveau in Paris and Western Europe, and Jugendstil in Germany was at the height of popularity. The works reproduced were created not only in such cultural centres as Paris and Vienna, but also in various cities throughout Belgium, Germany and Italy. The second part is devoted to modernist art produced in the 1920s and early 1930s in France, Holland, Germany and Hungary. Thematically, the publication includes exhibition announcements, entertainment advertisements, tourist flyers and ads for newly emerging products of "mass consumption", as well as for somewhat curious objects.
Glass Link Stockholm – Praha)
The publication is featuring the most remarkable works of Swedish art glass of the 20th century from such renowned glassoworks as Orrefors and Kosta, as well as unique art glass objects created in the studios of noted Swedish glass artists. Sweden and the Czech lands have been linked through a long-lasting tradition of collaboration and mutual inspiration in the fields of applied and studio art glass. The book also centres on documenting various joint trends in the manufacture of glass during the 20th century.
Jindřich Štyrský. On the Needles of These Days. Fotografie 1934–1935)
The book in Italian was published by the Fotomuseo Giuseppe Panini in Modena and the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Modena in collaboration with the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague to accompany the exhibition held in Fotomuseo Giuseppe Panini in Modena from the 12th of December 2009 to the 28th February 2010.
Artěl 1908–1935)
Tsjechisch kubisme in het dagelijks leven / Czech Cubism in Daily Life The booklet was published by Design museum Gent in collaboration with the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, to accompany the exhibition of the same name, held in Gent from October 28, 2009 through February 7, 2010.
Lives for Ransom)
The publication "Lives for Ransom" discusses the exports and forced donations of works of art during the emigration of Jews from Bohemia and Moravia in the years 1938–1942, shown on the case of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague. Thematically, this volume is a logical follow-up to "Memories Returned" (2007) that traces the history of deposits in the collections of the Museum, which had originally belonged to persons whose identity remains unknown. Both volumes were published by Tilia and the Documentation Centre for Property Transfers of Cultural Assets of World War II Victims. The exhibition was on view in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague from June 27 to September 28, 2009. It was an accompanying event to the Holocaust Era Assets Conference, held from June 26–30, 2009, in Prague and Terezín.
Tschechische Fotografie des 20. Jahrhunderts)
The German language book of Vladimír Birgus and Jan Mlčoch examines the individual movements and tendencies in photography throughout the 20th century. These include early-century styles (Pictorialism, documentary and reportage photography), modern photographic trends of the twenties, Surrealist experimentation and Poetism, postwar reportage and documentary photography, art photography and its various offshoots (The Happening, Land Art, Conceptual Art and Body Art), to staged and portrait photography of the late 20th century. Almost two hundred photographers have been selected, among them Josef Sudek, František Drtikol, Jaromír Funke, Jaroslav Rössler, Karel Hájek, Václav Jírů, Vilém Reichmann, Jan Reich, Jan Saudek, Josef Koudelka, and others. The reproductions of images lent from Czech and foreign collections offer a complex overview of 20th-century photography in the Bohemian lands.
Artěl. Umění pro všední den 1908–1935 (Artěl. Art for Everyday Use 1908–1935))
The Czech language publication explores one of the most outstanding institutions specializing in Czech applied arts and design during the first half of the 20th century. A variety of wares and designs bearing the prestigious Artěl trademark (ranging in style from late Art Nouveau, through Cubism, to Art Deco) is presented in several sections. Founded in Prague in 1908, Artěl associated prominent figures of the Czech art scene. Initially, the association focused on designing and manufacturing "minor art for everyday use" — small functional and decorative items made of wood, ceramic, metal and other materials. Over the years, it extended its activities to include comprehensive designs of interior spaces, both private homes and commercial interiors. An array of diverse views and trends emerged throughout Artěl's existence, yet all invariably pursued a common goal: to introduce a modern aesthetic outlook into the field of applied arts and to help cultivate household design and the lifestyles of the residents. True in the past and today, Artěl takes its rightful place in Europe's modern art and design movement, alongside the artistically-inspiring Wiener Werkstätte in Austria and the Bauhaus in Germany.
CubiCZmus! Die Dekonstruktion der Moderne in Prag)
The English-German catalogue published to accompany the exhibition at the Postsparkasse in Vienna explores the period between 1910 and 1920 - an era of early and mature stages of Czech Cubism represented by the most noted proponents of this style, architects and artists P. Janák, J. Gočár, V. Hofman, J. Chochol, O. Novotný, A. Procházka, J. V. Kroha, and others. The publication traces the roots of Cubism after 1900 in connection with Vienna Modernism (Geometric Secession) and discusses the collaboration of architects with Czech artists associated in the Group of Fine Artists, and their involvement in the activities carried out by the Artěl Cooperative, the Prague Art Workshops and the Union of Czech Artwork. It analyzes the art movement's theoretical considerations and their practical application in various fields of creativity, including furniture-making, interior decoration, ceramics, glass, metalwork and graphic art.
Una ventana en Praga. Josef Sudek. Fotografías de los aňos cincuenta (A Window in Prague. Josef Sude)
The Spanish-language exhibition catalogue features photographs of Prague created by Josef Sudek in the 1950s, particularly his "Night" images. The nightscapes are accompanied by panoramas of the historical centre, glimpses of the city's everyday life, shots taken from the artist's studio, and still-life photographs. A folding leaflet with a foreword to the exhibition and a list of exhibits is appended to the catalogue.
Daniel a Ignác Preisslerové – barokní malíři skla a porcelánu)
The Czech language book with English a German summaries presents an exceptional body of works decorated with a specific type of painting on glass and porcelain. Usually, these works have mainly been attributed to Ignaz Preissler (1676–1741), but most recently his father Daniel (1636–1733) has also been recognized. Both artists were active in the town of Kunštát (Kronstadt) in eastern Bohemia. The publication includes a catalogue of the objects housed in museums and private collections in the Czech Republic, together with reproductions of outstanding pieces kept in foreign collections. This is the first book to offer a comprehensive look at the noteworthy (and at times controversially interpreted) collection.

CYBEX Child Safety Experts
Here, our Child Safety Experts give you all the advice you need!
Director of Child Safety Products
Franz Peleska
An expert in the field of child safety products
Franz has been with CYBEX since the very beginning (going on seven years now) and prior to CYBEX he boasts more than 14 years experience working for leading consumer testing associations, such as the internationally renowned ÖAMTC (Österreichischer Automobil, Motorrad und Touring Club).
During his time at ÖAMTC he participated significantly in the development of new programs for both consumer and automobile club tests for child safety seats. They were the first independent consumer testing organisation in Europe to undertake such stringent testing of child safety seats - testing front and side impact scenarios along with varying dummy sizes to closely simulate real life situations. Additionally hundreds of test families with children tested the seats in terms of functionality, usability and comfort. This pioneer approach led to stricter testing across all car seat manufacturers and consumer testing institutes, which has seen a vast improvement in child safety products.
Franz leads a team of child safety experts at CYBEX and has been responsible for several award winning CYBEX car seats, including the CYBEX Solution and CYBEX Pallas series along with the infant car seat, CYBEX Aton. He can also be credited with the creation of CYBEX patented technology, including the three-position reclining headrest, Linear Side-impact Protection system and adjustable safety cushion, that has seen CYBEX time and time again achieve outstanding child safety test results.
Have you any further questions?
Here, Franz gives you all the expert advice you need to make sure you select the right car seat for your child.

Foreigner Concert Tickets
Long running rock sensation Foreigner was formed in 1976 by guitarist-songwriter Mick Jones, ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald and vocalist Lou Gramm. Together they spawned some of rock music's guiltiest pleasures. Singles like I Want to Know What Love Is, Feels Like the First Time, Cold as Ice, Hot Blooded and Head Games helped sell over 50 million albums and sustained the band over years of international touring during which time Foreigner concert tickets were in high demand.
After a 16 year hiatus, Foreigner returned in 2009 with their album Can't Slow Down which represented a return to form for the band and its only remaining original member Mick Jones who once again took up songwriting duties. Current lead vocalist Kelly Hansen steps admirably into the shoes of Lou Gramm to belt out the band's cherished classics.
In 2014, Foreigner are teaming up with Styx and Don Felder on the Soundtrack of Summer 2014 Tour! This marks the second time that Foreigner and Styx have gone on tour together, as the rock legends previously toured together in 2010 on the United for Rock Tour. With Styx and Foreigner once again sharing the same stage, fans can expect one of the best rock shows of year!

"As a high school freshman in a small town in northwest Oregon, Paige VanZant often went home with tears trickling down her face.
"She was the victim of bullying. A pack of girls targeted her. They tried to make her life a nightmare. Barely 5-feet tall, she was one of the smallest kids in school, not physically able to defend herself.
"Those girls wouldn't want to mess with VanZant these days. Now standing 5-4 and a muscle-packed 115 pounds, VanZant is one of the top women's mixed martial arts strawweight fighters in the nation."

New track released by Michael Ozowuru & Vince Staples! Ozowuru is a genius at production and a super cool dude and Vince is definitely a rapper to look out for, I have a feeling they're both gonna come up big soon. Can't wait for that tape!
1/29 Patti Smith @ Theatre At The Ace Hotel
2/12 Babes In Toyland @ The Roxy
5/1 Sleater-Kinney @ The Palladium
Yeah, i guess it's because since Matt Martians is mastering/producing it and he's been busy wth the Internet it's been being pushed back. Like Vince's verses/hooks have been sitting in Matt's studio, but I heard Matt is gonna start on it soon. That tape is gonna drop jaws

The new G-Side album is spectacular. Their best yet, for sure.
I've been meaning to check that G-Side out. They have a show coming up in LA right?
Fashawn and Freddie Gibbs, plus Blu and Exile at the glasshouse for 12 bucks is gonna be sick.
Freddie Gibbs is hilarious live. Saw him at some Pitchfork thing in Brooklyn... it was definitely weird haha.
Phonte - "Charity Starts At Home"
In case you care to venture into some grown-up shit..
This is quite possibly the most retarded mixtape i have heard in my life:
Absolutely hilarious tho

If you guys are into Three 6 Mafia or that style of music you should really check out Juicy J's new tape "Blue Dream and Lean". I thought it was gonna suck for some reason but this shit is so sick! Definitely great music to get buck to

I just finished reading all 64 pages of this thread, this is my contribution. Reef the Lost Cauze is everything that's good about hip-hop. First time I went to see him the show was poorly promoted and under 100 people were in attendance. Not only did he not complain about the small crowd in his home town (Philly) he put on an incredible energetic show.
Also he's part of a collective Army of the Pharaoh's (AOTP) started by Vinnie Paz from Jedi Mind Tricks. There is no shortage of MC skills among these guys.
boy oh boy was Nipsey Hussle terrible tonight.

Pureology DryShine Styler
Based on 1 Review
AnonymousOak Park, CaliforniaDryshine StylerI really like this product. It doesnt "coat" the hair as other products do. Ive been told not to wash my hair so much, so I rinse it off in the morning and blow it dry. This product doesnt build up and cause clumps and unattractive separtation when I do this...and after I blow dry my hair, I can use some more!!6 out of 6 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Italian Gold Rosary Decade Ring
Rings have a ancient historical tradition of use for religious significance. Here is a 20th century Italian ring in a form often termed a decade or rosary ring. Of 18k yellow gold, there are small knobs all along its outer edge, each one representing a procession of prayers to be said. At the center a cross of crucifix is reserved for praying the Our Father. Similar to a rosary, these ring were first developed back at a time when the practice of Catholicism was considered a crime. One could certainly not carry something as identifiable as a rosary. But one could have a ring for the same purpose, with no one else the wiser.
Date: Mid 20th century.
Measurements: Just shy of 1/8 of an inch (2 cm) in length north to south on the hand and weighs 3.2 grams (2.1 dwt).
Ring Size: Currently a size US 9-1/4 (UK just shy of S; Int. Dia. 19; 60 mm; Japan 18) and easily sized up but can only be sized down with inserts. Contact us for more details. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 750 and a worn mark.
Condition: Very good.
Origin: Italian in origin.
Historical Note:
Decade or rosary rings, appear to date back as early as the 14th century. Often they have knobs, usually ten, although occasionally eleven, a larger central top, sometimes a plaque with IHS symbol, crucifix or just a larger knob. Religious in nature, the beads act are an aid (as in a rosary) for saying the Aves or prayers with the center or Paternoster, commonly referred to as the Our Father.
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the country was on the brink of a division along Protestant and Catholic lines. Laws were enacted making Catholics guilty of many crimes -- primarily because they would not acknowledge the King or Queen as the head of the Church, and therefore they could not be fully loyal to the monarchy. Decade rings gained popularity as a way to secretly practice that faith; a rosary being rather evident whereas a ring can be easily hidden. Rings of this nature were made through the 18th century during which time those laws were largely ignored. By 1829, Catholics were formally given emancipation.
