Arsene Wenger called on his players to show him what they are made of after admitting he has become concerned by Arsenal's poor recent form.
Wenger's name was synonymous with success in the English game at the start of his reign, yet Arsenal have hit the rocks in recent years.
The Frenchman has not won a trophy in seven-and-a-half years and his team currently languish in sixth, seven points behind fourth-place Tottenham, and 22 points behind leaders Manchester United.
Wenger, whose team have won just half of their home games this term, admitted that morale in the Arsenal camp was low following their latest reverse - a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea on Sunday.
Wenger concedes his team's failure to deliver in big matches is a concern, and has called on the squad to bounce back with a win in Wednesday's London derby against West Ham.
"What is worrying is just that we do not win the big games. The position we are in now is a bit backs to the wall," Wenger said.
"We have to respond. I'm confident that we will but the team was very down after the Chelsea game.
"Tomorrow is a very important game for us. We have to transform the potential we have shown in the (last) two games into points and tomorrow is a good opportunity to do it."
Wenger bristled at accusations his players do not have the same heart as Arsenal icons such as Tony Adams, Patrick Vieira and Martin Keown.
"They care as much, if not more," a defiant Wenger said.
And having watched Arsenal overturn a 10-point deficit to beat Spurs to third last year, Wenger insists the current gap between Arsenal and their most bitter rivals this season is not as bad as many people would make out.
"The difference in points mathematically is not dramatic, but the consistency of our performances within games is what is worrying," Wenger added.
"When you see how we played in the first half (at Chelsea), and how we played in the second half it is difficult to believe that we are the same team. That is more worrying for me."
Although Arsenal fans generally support Wenger, the Frenchman's perceived stubbornness in the transfer market often grates them.
Wenger, who is understood to have a sizeable transfer kitty at his disposal, has been linked with moves for Yoann Gourcuff, Mohamed Diame, David Villa and Wilfried Zaha, yet despite the window having been open for 22 days, no new faces have been added to the squad.
Wenger sidestepped questions about a move for Lyon's Gourcuff, but hinted that midfield was an area he is looking to strengthen.
Francis Coquelin and Mikel Arteta are out of Wednesday's game while doubts remain over the long-term fitness of Abou Diaby.
"We have (an issue in defensive midfield)," Wenger said.
"It is a position where we are short. We are short when Arteta is not there because he is a player with a lot of experience, he gives us stability and you could see that in the last two (Premier League) games (when Arteta has been out). It is a position where we are a bit vulnerable at the moment."
One of the options Wenger appears to be considering is lining up a move for the man who has impressed in the engine room of Wednesday's opposition.
Diame joined the Hammers on a free transfer last summer, but the midfielder has attracted interest after it emerged that he has a £3.5million release clause in his contract.
"He has a great presence in the games. I've seen him in games where he's had a big impact," Wenger said of Diame.
"They have many players who can be dangerous, but he can drive the midfield."
One player who Wenger denied he was ever interested in is Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha, who is reportedly close to signing for Manchester United.
"We were never in for Zaha," Wenger added.
"If he goes to Manchester United, good luck to him."

Early Stress May Sensitize Girls' Brains for Later AnxietyScienceDaily
November 11, 2012
High levels of family stress in infancy are linked to differences in everyday brain function and anxiety in teenage girls, according to new results of a long-running population study by University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists. The study highlights evidence for a developmental pathway through which early life stress may drive these changes. Here, babies who lived in homes with stressed mothers were more likely to grow into preschoolers with higher levels of cortisol, a stress hormone. In addition, these girls with higher cortisol also showed less communication between brain areas associated with emotion regulation 14 years later. Last, both high cortisol and differences in brain activity predicted higher levels of adolescent anxiety at age 18.

On the way to Tahoe last night I started this post about going to the dollar store during my lunch break to pick up cheap road trip snacks. I don't know about you, but one of the best parts about a road trip is what you're going to eat during the loooong drive. I grabbed imitation wheat thins off the shelf, some honey wheat pretzel twists (they almost taste like TJ brand), peach rings (Kyle's fave), Reese's Pieces, and Hot Tamales (for the ski slopes).
I walked back to work and headed straight for the cafeteria for $1.71 soup. I was all kinds of cheap yesterday!
Remember how I stuff the salad bar spinach into the bottom of my soup bowl before adding soup? I love this sneaky trick. What I don't love: the aftermath of turkey chili all. night. long! Uhh… Ya.
Kyle and I didn't make any stops on our way to Tahoe thanks to the dolla snacks and this giant tupperware of carrots and Greek yogurt! The drive was less than 4 hours and that, my friends, is why driving up on a Thursday is 100x better than the traffic you'll get on a Friday night.
pssst… Tonight I'm going to work on a post about two new fitness-y things I've used over the past few days… can you spot them?
Friday morning started out with scrambled eggs + salsa and a cinnamon Eggo on the side. I totally forgot how tasty that flavor is! Kyle and I put on 14 warm layers each, packed up the car, and drove off towards Alpine Valley. Our season passes are good at both Squaw and Alpine – two of my all-time favorite CA mountains!
To combat the chilly weather, we did the following:
- 5 runs and rest in the lodge for 20 minutes (and I got my first coffee of the day)
- 5 runs and rest in the lodge for 30 minutes
- 5 runs and get in the car and turn on the seat warmers as fast as possible!!
One more photo, just so I can say GO NINERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is watching the division playoffs this weekend?! Kyle, a Denver native, will root for the Broncos and I'll be cheering on the SF 49ers. It seems like forever since I went to the 49ers vs Lions game with my Cal Poly pals. Ah, good times.
K, I'm off to make Nicole's famous banana bread, but in muffin form. Wish me luck.
Question: Do you ever shop at the dollar store? The candy is SO cheap and I love their holiday decorations. Design on a dime, am I right?

I love reading about your trip to Tahoe! It takes us about 3.5 hours to get there with no traffic and 3 on the way home. Traffic is the worst though!
Good idea about putting spinach in the bottom of soups!

and I love reading about YOUR trips to tahoe! last week we hit some crazy traffic on the way back in sacramento…. some days you get lucky and some days you don't!

LOL! Beware the turkey chili :)
Sugar Coated Sisters says:
oooOOOoooOOOoo fancy fitness swag! I for one cannot WAIT to hear about i!
skiing in the freezing sounds absolutely terrible compared to the beautiful San Diego weather and the oceans views that I got today – but hey, you choose skiing as exercise, and I choose dancing till 2 AM ;)
hope the bread is a winner! and hopefully the whole wheat flour doesn't keep you up all night like the turkey chili! PHEW!

Sugar Coated Sisters says:
you're funny, nicole. you know i can't last until 2 am on the dance floor. i'm too old :( the muffins turned out great! that recipe is so versatile.
Heather says:
Leaving on thurs for Tahoe sounds amazing!! We have had 3 hr drives or 8 hr drives out there. Grrrr! I prefer Tahoe in the summer ;-)
Heather recently posted..Oh I just can't wait to be King!
Sugar Coated Sisters says:
Despite all the awful traffic, I love winter-Tahoe a little more than summer-Tahoe. The snow, cabin fires, comfort food, hot cocoas, and sking are hard to beat!!
Here's how skiing went today:
-One run on the bunny slope during which I immediately fell and knocked my head.
-One successful run on the bunny slope during which I didn't fall, and immediately returned my gear after that because there's no better way to end the day than with a flawless (albeit slow) ride.
Things only got weird when all those 3rd graders passed me, looking like pros as I pizza-slice french-fried my way down the hill….
Jordan @ food, sweat, and beers recently posted..Duck… Duck…. GOOSE! (Island Clybourn Tour/Tasting)
Sugar Coated Sisters says:
those 3rd graders have nothing better to do with their time – they probably bully all sorts of new pizza slicers off the mountain. don't take their ISH. stand up to them!

It seems like everyone has been overtaken by
soccer football fever, and we thought that it might be fun to compile some game-related imagery by a few MGI artists who are always on the ball (SORRY!).
So let's get started, shall we?? It's game time, and we'd like to present, in no particular order…
Thanks for having a little fun with us!

This weekend's box office contest should be no contest at all. The only new film opening wide is action drama''Cradle 2 the Grave.'' The teaming of rapper/actor DMX and martial arts hero Jet Li should be potent enough to knock the fading ''Daredevil'' off the perch it's held for two weeks.
''Cradle'' marks the third reteaming of DMX, director Andrzej Bartkowiak, and action producer Joel Silver (''The Matrix''), after 2001's ''Exit Wounds'' and 2000's ''Romeo Must Die.'' Each of these movies debuted near $20 million, as did Jet Li's last fu fest, ''The One.'' Opening on more than 2,600 screens, there's no reason ''Cradle'' shouldn't do the same.
Duking it out for second place will be Ben Affleck's blind superhero and the aging fratboys of ''Old School.'' When ''Daredevil'' declined sharply last weekend, the Will Ferrell comedy almost beat it; in fact, it's been the top movie for much of this week. So expect ''Old School'' to drop a modest 35 percent this weekend to finish at No. 2 with a take of $11 million. ''Daredevil'' should continue its slide and finish third with $10 million.
''How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'' is still the only draw for the date crowd. It should also see only a slight drop to $8 million for a fourth-place finish. Fighting for fifth place in the $6.5 million territory will be the beasts of ''The Jungle Book 2'' and the murderous showgirls of ''Chicago.'' The Disney cartoon gets the kid vote, but ''Chicago,'' which has been building steadily as its Oscar campaign steamrolls along, gets the overall edge.

We Go Beyond to Deliver Opportunity
FedEx provides the efficient access that businesses of all sizes need to succeed, build prosperous communities and raise living standards worldwide. Just ask a British mother who redesigned a simple handbag. In just three years this FedEx customer turned her product into a $3.3 million global business called Cambridge Satchel Company. Or talk to the founder of OtterBox, a company that makes protective cases for mobile devices. Thanks to the mastery of global supply chains, he grew his business from $5 million to almost $169 million in just three years, while creating more than 500 jobs in his hometown of Fort Collins, Colo.
Take a few minutes to watch inspiring videos of these two innovative businesses at fedex.com/annualreport2012.

|I really enjoyed watching the video on the Cambridge Satchel Company. I plan to buy one for myself! It's amazing how this very small company grew so fast and provided so many jobs for this small community. Of course FedEx was a big part of that growth. I'm so proud to be a part of the FedEx family!!

Sunday night's hour with the misogynists and ladies of Sterling Cooper kicked off with a montage soundtracked by "The Infanta," which has teed off a very important debate on the internet: are you For or Against anachronistic music in period pieces? If you missed it, Videogum's got it, but know that it isn't the first time the show wasn't true to the '60s. Also: Don Draper is a very good lay.

Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Bodybuilding Volume Conditioner
Join the Conversation
JackieChicagoThe Best I've Used In A Long TimeI started with the travel size pouch of Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Seasilk shampoo and conditioner. Also included was the workable hair spray and overnight conditioner. The old instructions of pea size usage, rinse and repeat is necessary to follow. The first pea size shampoo amount doesn't feel like your getting any thing cleaned, rinse a follow with another pea size shampoo and what a difference. Rinse and follow with the small amount of conditioner. My hair which is colored, I'm over 54, looks and feels great. I truly have not had my hair feel this wonderful in a long time. I will make the investment in the full size. The small amount you use, this will last a long time. The working hair spray wonderful. I let my daughter use the shampoo and conditioner, she loved it also. Big Five Stars from me.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says his outfit won't hesitate to end their Renault deal if the French company fail to get their act together.
The 2014 campaign has been a disastrous one so far for Red Bull going by their usual lofty high standards thanks mainly to Renault's inability to produce reliable engine.
While the Mercedes-backed teams have made a smooth switch from the V8 engines to 1.6-litre V6 turbo units, those with Renault power have stuttered.
Horner has admitted that Red Bull raised concerns with the French company two years ago.
"We sat down to express our concerns with Renault in autumn 2012," he said. "Renault have got to get it together. They're not in Formula One to make up the numbers.
"They've been tremendously successful in their time in Formula One and they've stated they're in it to compete and win and not just make up the numbers. Anything other than success is on their agenda. I believe that they will be addressing that in the near future."
Red Bull's current contract with the French company runs until 2016 and Horner admits they have "options".
"The great thing about a team like Red Bull is that we've always got options," he is quoted as saying by GPUpdate.net.
"I'm obviously not going to disclose what those are here. But we want to run at the front and we want to be competitive and in order to be competitive we have to have a sensible power unit."

Latest Launch Set to Transform UK Lawns
March 2014
Latest Launch Set to Transform UK Lawns
Latest Launch Set to Transform UK Lawns
Whether you're a green-fingered grower or find gardening the most tiresome of chores, the latest launch from Robomow is set to transform your garden – and the way you spend time in it.
The market leader in robotic lawnmowers will double its range from March 2014, with the launch of six new premium range models in the UK. Designed to bring the benefits of automatic lawn mowing to gardens of virtually any size and shape, the new machines are smarter, faster and more compact than ever and can tackle lawns from under 200m2 to 3000m2 with ease.
Their exceptional performance combined with low running costs and easy maintenance has made the robotic lawnmower market one of the fastest growing categories of garden product in Europe. Now the UK is set to embrace the technology used, with machines predicted to take UK lawns by storm.
Heavy duty, sharp steel blades and super strong motors make short work of even the first cut of the season and give perfect results on virtually any terrain, slope angle or with debris such as twigs and leaves littering the lawn.
Even better, once the Robomow is installed, you can sit back and relax while it automatically mows your lawn at regular intervals – regardless of your commitments, time constraints, or whether you're even at home.
For small lawns (up to 200m2 and 400m2) the Robomow RC302 and RC304 offer a compact and easy to store solution, while the RC306 and RS612 tackle medium sized lawns (up to 600m2 and 1200m2 respectively) with ease. For larger areas the RS622 can mow up to 2200m2 and the RS630 model has a capacity to mow 3000m2.
Each model features the unique edging mode exclusive to Robomow, which enables the blades to cut beyond the wheel base and trim right over the lawn edge. The powerful mulching system means there is no grass box to empty, as cuttings are shredded into miniscule pieces before being spread at the roots of the lawn, where they return valuable water and nutrients to the soil. This, along with the absence of fuel and low noise levels also makes it particularly environmentally friendly.
Also new for 2014 is the Robomow App, which allows users to control and interact with their lawnmower via their mobile or tablet device. The most comprehensive app of its type available worldwide, it guides new Robomow owners through initial installation and setup and then provides access to the entire mower's interface on one convenient screen. Owners can check battery life and length of time since last cut, set or amend a mowing schedule, send the Robomow to mow or even drive it via remote control.
The Robomow is available from selected dealers nationwide and John Lewis online. RRP starts from £849.00 for the RC302, increasing to £2,499.00 for the RS630.

Maybe it's the cold weather coming in, but it's time to wax serious for a moment. Well, as serious as I can wax, anyway.
In the last couple of days, I have heard two interviews on NPR* and had a conversation that helped gel a thought that has been rattling around in my head for many months. It's about race and snoburbia.
One interview was with Vijay Iyer, the jazz artist. Interviewer Terry Gross asked him whether, when he was growing up, people questioned him about why he, an Indian American, was playing jazz?
And then I heard an interview with Eugene Robinson about his new book (which I can't wait to read), Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America. He talked about how the African American overclass really did not relate to the black underclass (whom he called "abandoned"). The two live their lives largely in separate spheres.
That same day, I was having a conversation with a Japanese woman who was newly arrived in snoburbia. She said she liked Bethesda because people don't treat her as a foreigner. When she went to another part of the country, she felt uncomfortable, and people stared at her and her family. They asked her probing questions.
This got me thinking about how race is treated in snoburbia. In the local snoburban high school, kids mix seemingly without regard to race. They think nothing of calling someone of another race, "hot." (Where and when I grew up, one would have kept such a thought to oneself.) My kids and their cohort have friends of white, African American, Asian, Middle Eastern and Latino family background. They don't talk about race at all. At all. Really. It just doesn't come up, except perhaps as a descriptor.
But when I look more closely at who all of these kids are, it becomes clearer. No matter the race, all of the children are advantaged, from educated parents. Some of the blacks and Latinos are children of government bureaucrats, scientists or diplomats. Some were born in another country. But they all have at least some money and educated parents.
Left out of the snoburban teen social groupings are black and Latino kids from the less fortunate neighborhood. (There are virtually no poor white or Asian kids around here.) Those kids also attend the same high school, but they talk and dress differently. They live in one or two pocket neighborhoods and ride the school bus. They don't go to the same parties or even to the same mall. They are more on MySpace than Facebook, so their online social interactions are limited; this aspect is rapidly changing, however, and may already have changed by the end of this paragraph.
When I talk to my friends who live in the area between the coasts about my blog, they usually make the assumption that I'm talking about and to white people. Then they immediately ask me if I have seen Stuff White People Like. (Well, of course I have seen it. The dude got a book deal out of it. I'm not bitter. And no, I am not going to link to it.)
It always strikes me as strange that there is an assumption of whiteness when people who don't live in snoburbia think of privilege. In snoburbia, no one would ask Vijay Iyer why he played jazz. However, if he were very poor and undereducated, people might wonder (not aloud) how he discovered jazz. Snoburbia is much less stratified by race (though, to be fair, white people are the majority).
If a family like the Obamas moved in next door (or into the White House), nobody would bat an eye. We know them. They are familiar. They are not wearing t-shirts with baggy sleeves down to their elbows or big, gold hoop earrings [see below]. They planted a garden and go to Sidwell, so they are of snoburbia.
Instead, what gets people around here in a complete tizzy? People in snoburbia are more upset that the Obamas may not have planted an organic garden. Quel scandale!
A note about my photo: I knew exactly what type of earrings I was looking for. So I typed into Google image search: "gold hoop earrings." Many pages of results later, I still could not find the right image. Very reluctantly (and I am even more hesitant to tell you), I typed in: "ghetto gold hoop earrings." The photo you see at the top was on the first page of results.

How To Plant A Perfect English Garden
The secret is actually a study in simplicity. This piece originally appeared on countryliving.com
By Dorothy Kalins
Lesson #1: Make a bold statement by planting in profusion.
Avoid the temptation to snap up every variety that catches your eye, say Joyce Nereaux Moore and her husband, Gerald Moore, who achieved this lavish look with just two types of climbing rose: 'William Baffin' and 'New Dawn.' "You only need to plant a few kinds of things," explains Gerald, "but do it in big sweeps."


text:
An orchestral conductor has been found dead and Detective Inspector Jack Robinson needs the delightfully incisive and sophisticated Miss Fisher's assistance. Hugh Tregennis has been murdered in a most flamboyant mode by a killer with a point to prove. But how many killers is Phryne really stalking?
At the same time, the dark curls and disdainful air of mathematician and code-breaker Rupert Sheffield are taking Melbourne by storm. They've certainly taken the heart of Phryne's old friend from the trenches of WWI, John Wilson. Phryne recognises Sheffield as a man who attracts danger and is determined to protect John from harm. While Mendelssohn's 'Elijah,' memories of the Great War, and the science of deduction ring in her head, Phryne's past must also play its part as MI6 become involved in the tangled web of murders.

"Greenwood's strength lies in her ability to create characters that are wholly satisfying: the bad guys are bad, and the good guys are great." (Vogue)
I can't write a short review to save myself! Authors put a lot of effort in their books, so a 3 line review can't do justice to my thoughts
"Starchy mystery accompanies KG's take on Sherlock"
I didn't know it was possible for one person to feel so polarised about something. But I am!
Usually it requires two individuals of opposite opinions to polarise a subject, but somehow, after a couple of hours consideration I've decided I have very dichotomous views about this book. I loved some aspects and really quite disliked others. If I'm brutally honest, if this were a first book in a series, rather than the 20th (and therefore at a stage where I already have a deep connection with the characters) I'm not 100% certain I would have continued the series. I think this book is not a good introduction to Phryne for non-fans, and deviates a little from the perfected formula enough to perturb her loyal fans. It certainly won't make me throw down my Phryne Fisher Fan Club membership card in disgust, but it didn't make me feel like I needed to press "Play Again" as almost every other Phryne novel did.
On the one hand I loved the return of Phryne, as I knew I would. And Phryne was as she ever was; fun and sassy, and meddlesome in her very enjoyable way, and Stephanie Daniel's narration was stellar as always. I also enjoyed the Sherlock-ian story line. By its very nature, a Sherlock theme is not original, but Kerry does a wonderful job of portraying a Sherlock as SHE imagines him (fans of the BBCs Sherlock will have no trouble imagining BC in the role of Rupert). And I think her style of book really has been begging for the opportunity to take a dig at the Sherlock method, so I enjoyed this aspect of the novel immensely. I also thought that the back story of the things Phryne got up to during the war were great, if a little "out of the blue".
Regarding the the bits I did not enjoy (as much): I, like many other readers, was disappointed with the increase in the detailed sex scenes, scenes that I only appreciate listening to when they add to the context of the story. As many of the scenes were filler, (likewise the increase in Phryne's inner dialogue regarding handsome men she'd like to "tumble") I found these scenes to detract from the story rather than add to it. Don't get me wrong - Kerry manages to sound more tasteful than any other author I've read who includes these sorts of scenes, but even done tastefully it didn't interest me. All that said - one presumes that she is under pressure from publishers to include/increase this sort of content as there has a been a HUGE surge in adult content books in the last 2 years, and I suppose the publishers must feel that these sorts of scenes have become necessary to maintain sales, because Kerry has never furnished her novels with such a quantity of "romance" before. In reality, accumulated they account for less than 30 minutes of an 11.5 hour story, so not really voluminous, just more than necessary.
The mystery... well, the mystery was much more the sideline story here than the driving plot line. After I got over waiting for a cracker mystery to unfold, and simply sat back to enjoy the character/Sherlock story line, I enjoyed the book a lot more. In this case, the mystery is just like starch, or emulsifiers in chocolate - necessary to bind the story as a whole and bulk it up a bit, but not really important to your enjoyment of the book. If you go in with low mystery expectations, and simply aim to enjoy the characters you'll feel less disappointed with this book.
On a final note, in a previous review for Unnatural Habits I mentioned that I thought Kerry had done a fantastic job of maintaining the character of Phryne, and she still portrayed a wonderful Phryne in this novel (if more sexy) - for me I felt that this book demonstrated a character change in another key character, and one wonders if a little of the TV show portrayal of said character has rubbed off on Kerry and altered her representation of them? After all, she writes for the TV show as well, so such a change would be understandable. I won't say any more to bias you, listen and see for yourself. After all, it is still a Phryne novel, still an enjoyable listen, and I still recommend it, despite the negative aspects commented here.
"The only one of the series I haven't enjoyed."
An excellent narrator. She made the book more interesting than it would have been to read in print copy.
At least half the singing and song lyrics.
This book dragged for me. The descriptions of the singing and the music were too long and wordy. There was much less action than in any of the other Phryne Fisher mysteries and it was not as light hearted as the others in the series. Altogether less enjoyable.
I am majorly unimpressed with the increasing quality and quantity of sex scenes in this series. If the purpose of the series is to provide well-written, well-plotted erudite novels along the lines of a Dorothy Sayers, I see no plot furtherance from opening the bedroom door so often and in such excruciating detail.
I also agree with the prior reviewer that there wasn't much in the way of suspense in regard to the mystery in this offering. I, too, realized early on who the murderer was, and didn't find the characterization of the person to be very compelling, either emotionally or mentally. During the build-up, the individual was more of a cypher or icon - a cardboard cutout - than a flesh-and-blood person. This remained true even after the great reveal of motive.
I have listened to all of Phryne's books, and Miss Daniels gives her usual sterling performance in this book.
Greenwood still describes with her usual élan Phryne's sets, clothing, and food. In addition, I liked the new characters, and had a good deal of empathy for them. Greenwood's hard work in research shows up quite clearly, and her prose is still lucid and lyrical.
I'm just tired of all the emphasis on both Phryne's sex life and the sex life, whether heterosexual or homosexual, of the others. I am reading these books for insight into those who survived the War and their accommodations to be able to function in the world after that horror, for the mystery, for the beauty that those with money could provide for themselves at that time in history, and the history of Australia. I genuinely like Miss Greenwood's characters, old and new, and generally enjoy her plots. I enjoy the comedy of manners, the sets, the clothes, and the food which form a continuing thread through all of these novels.
Bookseller, book blogger, librarian, actress, and artist.
"A Charming Addition"
Yes. I love Stephanie Daniel's narration. I think it provides an excellent facet to an already wonderful story. This is not my favorite of the Phryne Fisher books, but it is very much worthy of its esteemed company.
"Phryne's writer has lost her way"
I have read all the other Phryne Fisher books and enjoyed them all. This one is not worth the time as it is not a mystery(I knew who did it before it was done) and most importantly, it seems to be a very poor attempt to be a romance tale for the 21st century. Yuck. If I wanted a romance I would have picked up a Barbara Cartland or a Danielle Steele. If you want a mystery or a puzzle give this one a very wide berth.
"Who knew Phryne could sing?"
This book is rather long for the series but it didn't drag. I enjoyed the insight into the world of semi-professional singing. As always, good story and the supporting cast is perfect!
"The best Phryne Fisher yet!"
Something extra went into the 20th Phryne Fisher novel and it was one of the best novels yet. The homosexual love (not Phryne) was a bit more than i wanted, but was in line with the plot. (I don't care what consenting adults like, but i don't need to hear about the kissing!) My previous favorite was Murder in Montparnasse, so i much like the inclusion of world war 1 experiences in the development of the Phryne we know in 1930s Australia.
Stephanie does a multitude of character voices very well.
"Not Greenwood's Best Work"
Yes, I'm normally a huge fan.
Unfortunately I have to agree with many of the other criticisms of this story. The basic plot was good, but too long and drawn out. The frequent and gratuitous sexual scenes were very distracting. I felt that this novel was as much about promoting the gay lifestyle as it was solving a murder. For Phryne to sleep with a bi sexual man, even an old dear friend, did not add to the story. I much prefer Phyne's respectful tolerance of lifestyles different from her own, rather than looking like she's pushing an agenda. Her respectful tolerance trait is common in her other novels.
very talented narrator, not a sololist
I almost never write negative reviews, I just keep my opinions to myself. But being that the Phryne Fisher Murder series is my all time favorite series, I felt the need to speak up.
I'd like to see Ms Greenwood refocus on plot development and leave frequent sexual scenes to the romance writers. In the tv series, the way the sexual tension is developed and romantic scenes portrayed is very tasteful and appealing to me. If singing is required, dub in talented soloists.
"Oh My Phryne!"
Absolutely! After all a Phryne Fisher story is always a good read.
Though she does sing in this it certainly is not as grating as it was in a previous book....however there is this one song! I am not a musician and what do I know about singing!
Hmm the meeting of two males as they explored each other raised my eyebrows not exactly a moving moment.
When Phryne shoots a nasty piece of work it seems so matter of fact that it's over before it's begun. The description and knowledge of Menelssohns music was very interesting to learn about and weaving it through the choir was an excellent idea. My only other thought was - is Phryne ever bad at anything?
"Lagging story quality"
Yes. The dragging along, over descriptions of the choir, what they sung, how they sang and general chatter of nothing they all seemed to engage in constantly.
Constant descriptions of her and her friend's sex lives. Boring.
Another Kerry Greenwood story starring Phryne Fisher that I hope will be more interesting along the lines of previous ones that I've listened to.
Wonderful Narrator. Dull story.
Wish for a better Phyrne Fisher novel next time. I really enjoy the series but this one is a drawn out dud.
Sex if fine. Descriptions of sex are fine. Having a book supposedly about a mystery constantly refer to someone's sex life does not an interesting read make.
"Lost the story line?"
A little less on the homosexual love story (I found it a little tedious after a while) a better explanation on why one of the main docklands "kingpins" wanted to kill one of them (we are told) but not until the main event. When did Phyrne become involved in MI6 and then there was the add on story about the choir (which is where the Mendelssohn came in for the title) but the solution finished so fast you went "is that it" . I was disappointed Ms Greenwood is usually better than this.
Maybe but only if the were a real Phyrne fan otherwise no
Phyrne Fisher, Dot, Jack and Cec & Bert
Yes to buy another audio book by Kerry greenwood just to make sure she can still write a good story
"Music & Madness in 1920s Melbourne"
Lin is in Hong Kong so Phryne turns to the highly wrought milieu of a semiprofessional choir for amusement, along the way her adventure considers PTSD, the correct way to conduct Mendelssohn and an homage to John Watson & Sherlock Holmes. Stephanie Daniels is, as always, a superb reader.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

John Abbott, TD Newcrest – Canadian Unconventional Oil Forum, 8 July 2009
Mr. Abbott started with a short summary of Shell's strategy and upstream portfolio, and the global energy landscape, where other sources of hydrocarbons, such as oil sands, will have a role.
Shell is rejuvenating its upstream portfolio with 1 million barrels of upstream production and about 4 million tonnes per annum of LNG capacity under construction.
He then moved to present Shell's Oil Sands business, where Shell is an industry leader and has been active in Alberta for many years going back to the 1950's when the prime acreage in the Athabasca and Peace River Oil Sands Regions were acquired.
Mr. Abbott highlighted the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP), where Shell has a production capacity of 90 thousand barrels per day (boe/d) and the AOSP Expansion I, where an additional capacity of 60 thousand boe/d is under construction. He also pointed to the fact that Shell is also pursuing options to grow its In Situ production through the use of advanced technology.
He commented that Shell has decided to delay an investment decision on the next AOSP expansion due to cost pressures in the over-heated oil sands market. In the meantime Shell is pursuing less capital intensive debottleneck opportunities at AOSP.
Mr. Abbott provided an overview of Shell's sustainable operations in its Oil Sands businesses and CO2 options, where he highlighted that the province of Alberta announced that it has selected Shell's Quest project for a Letter of Intent and possible funding agreement from their $2 billion CCS funding for emission reduction.
On his conclusion he commented on the difficult current financial environment, especially within the Oil Sands sector, but that Shell is managing that with good operating performance and flexibility on its balance sheet. And for the future, Shell has made good progress with new investment options in gas, heavy oil and cleaner fuels.

It is my pleasure to bring to you this piece by Sam Kates about his novel The Cleansing.
Indie Visibility: a Small Voice in the Crowd
In Wales's capital city, Cardiff, about twenty minutes up the road from where I live, sits the magnificent Millennium Stadium. It's where Wales plays its home rugby internationals. For those who don't know, rugby is our national sport and we can get a little, er, passionate when it comes to supporting our national team. The stadium has a capacity of 74,000 and a sliding roof that, when closed, creates a seething cauldron, a malestrom, of noise. I was last there in March to watch Wales drub England to win the Six Nations title. The roof was closed that evening and a capacity crowd shouted, cheered and sang its heart out. Even the most one-eyed English supporter would have to concede that the atmosphere was simply astounding.
Okay, but what has this to do with indie visibility? Well, a friend of mine, with no knowledge of indie publishing, has just finished reading my new release, The Cleansing. She sent me a private message on Facebook to say how much she had enjoyed the book and something to the effect that it must be doing really well. Like me, she is a rugby fan and I tried to explain why my book is not doing particularly well by using a metaphor (as we writers are want to do). I replied that trying to get The Cleansing noticed is like, "trying to be heard in a packed Millennium Stadium, roof closed, but you're only allowed to whisper."
And that's what it feels like. I've posted about my novel most places I can without spamming; my publishers are doing the same; I have an ad running on Goodreads; I have accumulated some glowing reviews; bloggers have mentioned the book on their sites. Yet it hasn't exactly set the book world alight.
Not that I have any right to expect it to do so. I'm just another unknown floundering in a vast sea of unknowns. And I accept that. In the absence of the backing of a Big Six marketing department (though they only give full support to certain A list authors) or a large advertising budget, I shall continue to plug away in the limited places where it's allowed, and might even get that website up and running. I won't expect The Cleansing to become popular overnight or at all, though of course I shall hope it does. If it happens, it will be a slow process, but I'm in this for the long haul. Anybody entering this business expecting instant success is in for a world of disappointment.
But how can I even hope that The Cleansing will be successful if I can't make the great reading public aware of its existence? This is where readers come in.
Let me make clear that readers don't owe authors a thing. If they choose not to buy our books, or finish them, or leave reviews, that is entirely their prerogative. But those readers who do buy our books and enjoy them can play a huge part in the books' success or otherwise. They can tell their family and friends; they can leave reviews; they can mention the books in online discussions; they can tweet about them. In short, they can spread the word about our books far more effectively than we as authors can.
So if there are any readers looking in who have read and enjoyed The Cleansing, or any indie book, you have the ability to help make these books successful. You can add to indies' voices so we're not forced to whisper in a packed Millennium Stadium. I firmly believe that it is the readers – and only readers – who now truly wield such power.

The Cleansing, an apocalyptic science fiction novel, the first in the Earth Haven series, is now available as both a paperback and e-book at Amazon and many other online retailers.

POSTED: Monday, September 10, 2012 - 5:44pm
UPDATED: Thursday, September 13, 2012 - 3:14pm
tyler, tx — Another example of government goes where it does not belong.
It gets involved in bailing out General Motors.
Part of that deal was forcing a car on the American public. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Chevy Volt. I'll have to give it to you because no one else wants it.
We've had to endure all the Bravo Sierra about the Volt from auto writers who have been pulling for it. But, according to an article in Reuters, it's over engineered and too expensive.
GM is losing almost $50,000 for each copy it puts out-- 49,000 to be exact.
It costs $89,000 to build.
And they want the American public to embrace it. One day we will have a a car that will do the same thing for a lot cheaper. But it will come from the free market.
Even offering leases of 200 months a month, no one wants this thing except for GE.
They buy them because they are in bed with the administration. GM tried to come up with some spin last week that they were shutting down production of the Volt to make something else for a while.
But, we weren't born last week. We knew what's up.
Now, they admit it. According to this article, GM acknowledges the Volt continues to lose money, and suggests it might not reach break even until the next-generation model is launched in about three years.
The next generation? Let's kill this pig in a polk right now.
The government almost always picks losers.
By the way, the vehicles helping regenerate the car business right now, it's stuff people want like pickups and SUVs.
Work on that, GM, please.
That's my point of view, what's yours?
You can email me at email@example.com [2] or Facebook me at KETK Neal Barton [3].

Emery Paul Nault Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Great Falls, on January 14, 2010, before U.S. District Judge Sam E. Haddon, EMERY PAUL NAULT, a 45-year-old resident of Box Elder, appeared for sentencing. NAULT was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 9 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Restitution: $6,357.80
- Supervised Release: 3 years
NAULT was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to theft from an Indian tribal organization receiving federal funding.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Carl E. Rostad, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
Nault had been employed by the Chippewa Cree Tribe Natural Resources Department Fire Suppression Program since November 1999. In April 2001 he became the Fire Management Officer. As the Fire Management Officer, NAULT was provided a series of three credit cards from 2002 through 2006 with which to conduct official business on behalf of the Natural Resources Department. The government credit cards are for official use only; tribal policies prohibit the use of tribal government credit cards for personal use and at no time are tribal employees allowed to obtain cash advances on these credit cards.
An investigation determined, and NAULT admitted, that he systematically misused the three credit cards on 174 occasions between January 2003 and June 2006, incurring $10,849.84 in personal transactions that were paid by the Chippewa Cree Tribe.
The personal charges were for charges made at restaurants and hotels in Havre, as well as charges at bars and casinos in Havre and Great Falls.
NAULT made partial repayment via payroll deduction to the Chippewa Cree Tribe which totaled $6,078.95. The investigation also confirmed NAULT'S claim that he had remitted personal cash payments in the amount $900. The total of repayments made to the Chippewa Cree Tribe by NAULT for his tribal credit card misuse equaled $6,978.95.
The outstanding amount due the Chippewa Cree Tribe for the unauthorized and personal transactions conducted by NAULT for his personal benefit is $3,870.89. That dollar loss, when coupled with the assessed bank fees, equals $6,357.80 in total losses to the Chippewa Cree Tribe.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that NAULT will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, NAULT does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Department of the Interior - Inspector General's Office.

Helping Heal Wounded Warriors
Recreation can improve a person's physical and mental well-being, but people with disabilities or injuries often get excluded from recreation programs. "Wounded warriors" (people in the military with injuries or disabilities) can face further challenges during rehabilitation, as recreational programs are often used for rehabilitative purposes.
Faculty and alumni of the College of Health and Human Development are working to solve this problem. Using funding from the Department of Defense and the U.S. Army, they have created a course for military recreation program managers.

Students Bring Telemedicine to Kenya
Twelve Penn State students wanted to improve the health of people living in rural Kenya, so they traveled there in summer 2009 to introduce the idea of telemedicine. The students went as part of a project known as Mashavu (which means "chubby cheeks"—a sign of good health—in Swahili, Kenya's native language). The group tested health care kiosks that can be used to send health care information to doctors in other locations, who then respond with advice.

Insect Deli Serves Meal Worms, Crickets, and Global Nutrition Awareness
Those ants on a log aren't raisins; they're real ants. And they're much healthier than a bag of chips or candy. At the annual Great Insect Fair, hosted by Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences, one professor and several students in the Department of Nutritional Sciences cooked and served delicious insects and tried to make it clear why people all over the world are eating bugs.
Read more about the Insect Deli.
Increasing Diversity in Research
Forty-one students participated in the Summer Research Opportunities program at Penn State, and four of those students worked with faculty in the College of Health and Human Development. The focus of SROP is to complete a research project—students become protégés under a faculty member, learning about their mentor's research and also pursuing a topic of their own. The program also provides students knowledge and guidance on how to apply to graduate school.

Very few people have been as close to death as Katie Sharkey, and survived. Now, years after her terrible accident, Katie is filled with determination, optimism, and hope.
"I used to cry every time I passed the scene of the accident, just thinking about it," explains Katie. "Now, I look back at April 7, not as the day I almost died, but as the day I lived."
The Influence of Penn State's Biomechanics Program
Through the study of biomechanics, researchers are seeing movement in new ways, and Penn State was one of the first places where the scientific discipline took form. Dr. Richard Nelson first established Penn State's Biomechanics Lab in 1967 in the building on the University Park campus known as the "Water Tower," which was later renamed the Biomechanics Teaching Lab. There, a number of groundbreaking activities took place that would eventually shape the field of biomechanics into what it is today.

Enriching Children's Lives with Food
Family, friends, and food were brought together at one children's camp this summer. Cook Like a Chef, a collaboration between Penn State Outreach and the College of Health and Human Development, teaches children age 11 to 13 how to cook and gives them the opportunity to experience new foods, with guidance from Anne Quinn Corr, instructor in nutritional sciences and seasoned chef.

Students Embark on a Summer-Long Research Exchange Program in Germany
This summer, four graduate students in Penn State's College of Health and Human Development embarked on a summer-long research exchange program to the University of Jena in Germany.
While there, the students are networking and collaborating with some of the world's leaders in human development and psychology. Part 1 | Part II | Part III
Capstone Project Leads to Valuable Experience
Transitioning from the classroom to the corporate world can be difficult for students. However, students in the Master of Health Administration (M.H.A.) program get an up-close view of the corporate world they are about to enter. As part of the M.H.A. capstone experience, students undertake a semester-long group project in which they take on real-world challenges proposed by companies in the health care industry.

Summer Camps Help Children Fight Obesity
When school's not in session, it can be difficult to find ways to keep kids off of the couch. Summer camps, however, prove to be a much healthier alternative to TV. Not only do summer camps provide fun, engaging activities for kids, but kids at summer camps meet or exceed the amount of daily physical activity recommended by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Read more about the benefits of summer camps.
Improving Communities through Tourism
Tourism can be leveraged to benefit communities, but this requires community involvement in all stages of the tourism initiative, from development to implementation. Dr. Duarte Morais and his colleagues recently worked with a Tanzanian community to establish several tourism development strategies, which will improve the local community's livelihood and well-being. The group organized the building of a pottery kiln and booth for a local women's co-op, and they created a training program for local mountain guides.

After telling you the other day how I have a brown thumb, I decided I would give growing something another shot and see if things had changed. Enter Operation Paperwhites. Seems pretty easy. Plunk bulbs in a little water. No dirt required. Should see some flowers in about 4-6 weeks. Provided I don't kill them.
That little guy above looks like a duck, don'tcha think? I'm assuming the emerging shoots will start pointing skyward as soon as they are set upright. Every one of these little bulbs has a messed up sense of direction. Life in a dirty garden bin will do that to you, I guess.
I'm a little nervous of the plants becoming top heavy and falling over once they have grown straight and tall with a beautiful burst of white flowers on top. (See, I'm staying positive.) I might need to add more glass beads to hold 'em up. We shall see…
Here is a beach glass snowflake for you! Whoops, got a little side tracked…
Our ducky-look-a-like gets anchored in a bed of beach glass. Grow little roots! Grow! I might be a week or so late in starting Operation Paperwhites, but if I'm lucky I will have some pretty little white blooms between Christmas and New Years. I'm following the directions here from the bh&g people.
Hope your week is off to a great start!

It's hard to watch Dr. Lisa Masterson give advice on the TV show, The Doctors. Her eyes are so far apart, you almost have to look at one at a time.
I think she's a direct descendant of the Geico lizard, just less charismatic? If the Geico lizard was orange, I would not be able to tell the two apart!
Whenever she appears on the screen, I immediately look away and shut my eyes tight - just like Indy and Marian at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark ; I'm afraid my face will melt off.
Lisa and the Gecko have more in common than meets the eye; The Gecko has car insurance, and Lisa Masterson better have malpractice insurance, if all these angry patents are telling the truth!

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide is joining forces with visionary filmmaker James Cameron and Fox Filmed Entertainment to bring the world of AVATAR to life at Disney parks. Announced on September 20 2011, the project will see an AVATAR-themed land begin construction at Disney's Animal Kingdom in 2013, with opening expected in 2016. The budget is speculated to be in the region of $500 million.
AVATAR at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Announcement Press Release
BURBANK (September 20, 2011) – Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide is joining forces with visionary filmmaker James Cameron and Fox Filmed Entertainment to bring the world of AVATAR to life at Disney parks. Through an exclusive agreement announced today by Disney, Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment and Fox, Disney will partner with Cameron and producing partner Jon Landau to create themed lands that will give theme park guests the opportunity to explore the mysterious universe of AVATAR first hand. Disney plans to build the first AVATAR themed land at Walt Disney World, within the Animal Kingdom park. With its emphasis on living in harmony with nature, Animal Kingdom is a natural fit for the AVATAR stories, which share the same philosophy. Construction is expected to begin by 2013.
"James Cameron is a groundbreaking filmmaker and gifted storyteller who shares our passion for creativity, technological innovation and delivering the best experience possible," said Robert A. Iger, President and CEO of The Walt Disney Company. "With this agreement, we have the extraordinary opportunity to combine James' talent and vision with the imagination and expertise of Disney."
"AVATAR created a world which audiences can discover again and again and now, through this incredible partnership with Disney, we'll be able to bring Pandora to life like never before. With two new AVATAR films currently in development, we'll have even more locations, characters and stories to explore," said James Cameron. "I'm chomping at the bit to start work with Disney's legendary Imagineers to bring our AVATAR universe to life. Our goal is to go beyond current boundaries of technical innovation and experiential storytelling, and give park goers the chance to see, hear, and touch the world of AVATAR with an unprecedented sense of reality."
The agreement announced today gives The Walt Disney Company exclusive global theme park rights to the AVATAR franchise and provides for additional AVATAR themed lands at other Disney parks. The other locations will be determined by Disney and its international theme park partners. James Cameron, Jon Landau and their Lightstorm Entertainment group will serve as creative consultants on the projects and will partner with Walt Disney Imagineering in the design and development of the AVATAR themed lands.
"This exciting new venture combines the world of AVATAR with the enormous reach of Disney and the incomparable talent of Jim Cameron," commented Fox Filmed Entertainment chairmen Jim Gianopulos and Tom Rothman. "While Jim is bringing audiences further into Pandora with the next two chapters in the AVATAR motion picture saga, the theme park attraction will likewise bring a new dimension to the amazing universe he created."
"AVATAR is a uniquely powerful franchise that has global appeal with audiences of all ages. Its spectacular settings, intriguing characters, imaginative creatures, and strong themes of family and loyalty make it a perfect fit for Disney," said Thomas O. Staggs, Chairman, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "We can't wait to give our guests the ability to journey to Pandora and explore the incredible immersive world of AVATAR in person."
In addition to setting a global box office record, AVATAR has been hailed as one of the most innovative and visually stunning movies ever produced. With its advanced motion capture and 3-D digital projection technologies developed by James Cameron and his team, moviegoers were able to connect with the world of AVATAR in new and engaging ways.
This new venture complements Walt Disney Parks & Resorts' strategic efforts to continue to invest in its core theme park businesses around the world while simultaneously expanding into other parts of the family vacation business.
Disney Parks Blog Question and answers with Tom Staggs Chairman, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts
The official Disney Parks Blog hosted a question and answer session with Tom Staggs. His responses to some of the questions are shown below.
Original article
We got quite a few questions about the timing of our first AVATAR experience at Disney's Animal Kingdom, including this one from Adam, "Any idea when the experience will be open to guests?"
We've just begun the design phase on our Animal Kingdom project and we expect to begin construction in 2013. From start to finish, a project of this size and scope takes about 5 years to design and build. We can't give you an exact date but we know that when it's complete, it's going to be a truly unforgettable experience.
Several of you asked a similar question, including Doug from Utah – "Will it replace any existing attractions in Animal Kingdom, or will it be built in a new parcel of land within the park's boundaries?"
Well, Doug, we're just beginning the Blue Sky process so I don't have much to share about how we are going to execute our vision for our first AVATAR land but we're focused on this being an important addition to Disney's Animal Kingdom. I look forward to sharing more details as our plans progress.
Jenna from Winnetka, Ill., asks, "What types of attractions will be in AVATAR land?"
This was hands-down one of the most popular questions we got and understandably so. While we're still in the very early stages of design and planning, we expect this land to be anchored by multiple attractions, entertainment, merchandise locations, restaurants and other immersive elements. Our AVATAR lands will give guests the chance to see, hear and touch the world of Pandora and we can't wait to dive in with James Cameron and his team as we create new experiences that will delight and thrill our guests.
Some of you, including Logan in Carnesville, Ga., asked about whether AVATAR was a good fit for a family-friendly brand like Disney.
Thanks, Logan, I appreciate your candor in asking this question. At its core, AVATAR is a film that embraces strong, positive themes of family, loyalty, living in harmony with nature and belief in oneself – all values that we share at The Walt Disney Company. You can be sure that these are the same themes that we will explore throughout our AVATAR lands. They will be places where friends and families can spend time together getting lost in a fantasy world, one of the true hallmarks of any Disney theme park experience. And with two sequels in the works, we feel this is a creative property whose potential is limitless.
We got several questions about whether there will be AVATAR experiences in parks/sites other than Disney's Animal Kingdom. Kyle from Ontario asks, "Are there plans to add Avatar attractions at any other Disney parks?"
Well, Kyle, the only land we are announcing today is at Walt Disney World Resort but AVATAR is a possibility at any of our other locations. The first film AVATAR is a franchise with massive global appeal and its success at the box office both inside and outside of the U.S. – I should also note that as we determine our future locations, we look forward to working with our international theme park partners as our plans evolve.
Many of you, including Justin from Orlando, want to know, "How does AVATAR fit in with the Disney theme?" and more specifically, how does it fit in with the Animal Kingdom?
As I mentioned in a previous answer, AVATAR is a uniquely powerful franchise that has global appeal with audiences of all ages. With its spectacular settings, intriguing characters, imaginative creatures and strong themes of family and loyalty, it's a great fit for the Disney brand and our parks.
Disney's Animal Kingdom is the perfect place for our first AVATAR land because at its core, the park gives guests the opportunity to experience the worlds of animals and nature – real and mythical – in whole new ways. With AVATAR, we've found the perfect opportunity to let our guests explore one of the most compelling mythical worlds ever conceived. Animal Kingdom also celebrates adventure, living in harmony with nature and environmental stewardship – themes that are deeply rooted in the story of AVATAR.
Some of you asked why we would choose to collaborate with an outside partner rather than use our own Disney characters and stories to expand the parks. We are as committed as ever to creating attractions and entertainment around favorite Disney characters and stories – with Cars Land at Disney California Adventure park and our expansion of Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park being two great examples. At the same time, we like to look beyond our own walls at non-Disney properties, like STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES, creating some of our most popular attractions. At the end of the day, we are focused on creating a great experience for our guests and I truly believe that this unique partnership with James Cameron and AVATAR gives us an entire world of imaginative creatures, fascinating locations and intriguing characters with which to do that.
What is AVATAR?
View the Internet Movie Database description, and see the "Pandora Discovered" video below for a look at the environement.
Where in Disney's Animal Kingdom will AVATAR land be built?
Since opening day, Disney's Animal Kingdom has had two main areas reserved for future expansion.
Firstly, the area to the west of the park, and currently occupied by Camp Minnie-Mickey, is a strong contender. Originally planned for Beastly Kingdom, this area was largely put together as the park neared opening as a somewhat temporary "stop gap" until the next wave of construction could begin.
The second likely area that has been cleared and prepared for expansion is the area to the north of the park, just beyond Asia. This plot of land was prepped around the time of Kali Rapids for future expansion.
View a satellite image of the two expansion areas.
Budget and Timescales
The rumored budget for the development at Disney's Animal Kingdom is in the region of $500 million.
Construction is expected to begin in 2013, with opening in 2016.

Apple wants to 'talk iPhone' on October 4th — Engadget.
Well, it's about freaking time! Apple has finally begun sending out invites for its upcoming press conference, and the company's being none too subtle with the hints, offering up some familiar app icons in the artwork and the tagline "Let's talk iPhone." As to whether it'll be an iPhone 5, 4S or some other new formation, we'll all have to wait until the event to find out — and you'd better believe we'll be there at Apple's Cupertino headquarters to find out.
Well it was announced last week by Mark Zuckerberg himself, the new look and features of Facebook! There seems like not only is the entire look of Facebook is on the verge of changing the way you will access it! I read that at the upcoming Apple big press conference to announce the new iPhone and products, they will announce the new HD app for the iPad and I am sure a new one for the iPhone! The new profile Looks really cool and you can apply to use it in advance at the link! Leo Laporte, THE Tech Guy is calling this a major PIVOT for Facebook to make these changes! He feels it is very risky! He brings up a great point that people really trusted Facebook because it was a private closed system. He brought up that it is becoming more and more public. The subscription thing, the live feed on what everything everyone is doing thing is starting to piss everyone off! Just look at the HUGE revolt in the past week on these few small changes! Its funny, people are threatening to go back to My____ , No thanks! October will be an interesting month for Facebook! I hope the 1/2 a billion users a DAY don't PIVOT!

Scroll through other Felixstowe closed premises
Felix Hotel Closed in 1950-51 however part of the building reopened as Galleon Bar in 1952 and closed in 1966. The rest of the building was used as offices and conference facilities and called Harvest House.
Appears on the 1902 OS map as the Balmoral Hotel. Apparently this was what it was originally going to be called, but at the last moment it got called the Felix Hotel instead.
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Felix's license was issued in 1897.
