About This Project
First let me start by saying that I have not had a bed for 5 years! Moving around every year I just had a mattress and boxspring on the floor. I came across Ana-White.com looking for plans to build a bookshelf. I am so thankful for running across this site! My husband is deployed so I decided to fill up my time making furniture :-) I saw several plans for beds and couldn't make a decision which one to make :-P So I just ran to Lowe's, bought some wood, and decided to figure it out as I went.
I bought the cheapest wood available. Everything is either a 1x2, 1x3, or 1x4 except for the side rails. I decided to just buy one wide piece for the side rails. I'm really into the "rustic" look, so instead of making pocket holes, I nailed or screwed right into the wood from the outside. I also took the hammer and "banged up" the headboard and footboard before I stained it.
Let me make another suggestion since I'm talking about staining! Do 1 coat of stain BEFORE putting everything together. The headboard I didn't stain until it was completely finished being built. I guess I'm a little more OCD than I thought because I had to keep going over it to get in the cracks :-P The footboard, I stained the planks before building the footboard, and I was much happier with it because afterwards I just did another coat of stain to get all the pieces that were sawed off or screwed into. This stain is the Minwax English Chestnut #223. I finished it with Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane in Clear Semi-Gloss.
For the side rails, I used corner brackets on the inside and the hinges on the outside. The hinges give it a rustic look as well as make it easy to take apart :-) My main thing was portability since we are a military family and are always moving around!
Funny story, I put everything together, then put one of the boxsprings on, wondered why it fell through!!! This genius forgot to make the support slats :-P So back out to my circular saw and I made several supports! I actually put the "feet" under every support slat. The middle slat and the ones closest to the footboard and headboard, I actually used corner brackets and screwed them to the support slat holder on the inside of the side rails. When I finally finished, jumped on the bed. It didn't move :-) I think the feet on each slat and the little extra hold on 3 of the support slats work great for the plan.

Woo! Love it, looks amazing.
Woo! Love it, looks amazing.
Creating a board and batten wall treatment is easy and doable by any do it yourselfer. This step by step tutorial will help you add beauty and architectural interest to a blank wall on the tightest of budgets. Beyond style points, you can use the finished board and batten treatment as a picture ledge or for towel or coat hooks.
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
Per 8 feet of wall space, boards spaced every 12" and more than 48" in height, you will need . . .
1 - 1x3 @ 8 feet long
10 - 1x2 @ 8 feet long
1 - 1x4 @ 8 feet long (if you need to replace moulding)
Liquid Nails Adhesive
I choose to use pine boards for my Board and Batten project because it is formaldehyde free. You can treat your walls with Board and Batten cut from MDF as well.
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
First things first . . . let's look at how a standard stick framed wall is built. My walls are 24" on center, but yours could also be 16" on center. Find your studs and mark them - you will want as many boards as possible to be nailed to a stud.
No inspect your baseboard. If your baseboard won't match the boards, you will need to remove and replace with a 1x4 board. Nail the new baseboard into studs in the wall.
Choose the height of your board and batten wall treatment. I choose 60" - it just seemed like the right height for my tiny bath. Mark the studs in the wall and attach the top board, but be sure to use a level. It's not uncommon for floors to be off level. Trust your level over the floor.
Now cut to fit 1x2s to fit between the baseboard and the top board. Attach with nails and glue, to the studs in the wall. Use a level.
Now of course you should be aware of the finished design, and if a board just doesn't work, or your wall wasn't built to code, don't feel like you must attach a board to every stud.
I felt like the boards spaced 24" apart on center was just too far for my tiny bathroom. So I went ahead and filled in with additional boards. This time, I glued and nailed, knowing I'm essentially nailing into nothing, I held the nailer at a downward angle. That way as the board falls forward, the nail acts as a hook, keeping it in place until the glue dries.
Cap the board and batten wall treatment with a 1x2 to finish off the top and create a picture ledge. I nailed and glued to the top board.
Now the fun (NOT!) part . . . fill all holes with wood filler and let dry. Sand sand sand. Remove any remaining sawdust, wipe clean, prime and paint.

I did a similar treatment in our breakfast area, but because there was paneling there previously I used 1/4" plywood to cover up the glue marks/holes in the drywall instead of ripping it all out and putting up new drywall. That was quicker and cheaper. It turned out great - it is one of my favorite projects ever.
Denise B replied on Permalink
I've been trolling the internet and making plans to do this. Thanks for reading my mind!
Guest replied on Permalink
I find it easier to paint the wall first and to pre paint the boards, less potential drips. Then all I have to do is touch up the nail holes after they are all up.
Cindy Wellmann replied on Permalink
You are unbelievably talented!
Mesha replied on Permalink
Did you put up a board backing, behind the spacers? Or, is this drywall, painted white?
Ana White replied on Permalink
Hi Mesha, my drywall is flat (no texture) so yes, that's drywall there. But another reason you want to stay on stud is if you do need to put a backer board up, you will be able to nail it to studs, and then hide the seams with the boards, because the boards will be spaced every 24", it will line up perfectly with a sheet of backer board.
Guest replied on Permalink
What about inside or outside corners? What would you do if the measured space between the vertical boards hits a corner?
Stacy Tyhurst replied on Permalink
THANKS! I am getting ready to do this project in the coming weeks and needed some guidelines to go by. Your site is awesome by the way (I spend way too much time drooling over things I want to do).
Emily@Decorchick replied on Permalink
Hi Ana, your B&B looks amazing!! I'll never get tired looking at this stuff, and I just finished another wall treatment in our living room and can't wait to post it. Thanks so much for the mention girl, you rock! xo
Brittany I replied on Permalink
I've been thinking about doing this in my hallway for a very long time, but my main concern is that I have lathe and plaster walls and I don't think it will be as simple to install. Do you have any suggestions to ensure it's done correctly on that type of surface?
redhead_61 replied on Permalink
There you go again. I have had a bead board project for my master bedroom in mind for months now. I have just been putting it off because lets face it, the master is ALWAYS the last room to get done right? I was at a friends house this weekend and they had this done. I have seen it before, but now that I have been building and using these materials I looked at this and realized how CHEAP this would be to do instead of bead board. It will now be happening a lot sooner. Thanks for a tutorial on it.
I hope you are happy to know that because of you, I now look at EVERYTHING around me and think through the process and cost of how I could make it. :)
Ana, you somehow always read my mind! I saw an episode of DIY Disaster (I think that's what it's called) where a man was supposed to do board and batten to the outside of his house but never finished it, so Brian (the main guy) came and helped him finish it... and I thought how wonderful that would be INSIDE our house in WHITE... this was about 6 months ago... and here you have it done in YOUR house! We're totally on the same wave length :)
OH and PS - the curtain is almost the most important part! Great find on that super chic curtain!
usmcwyfe46 replied on Permalink
I wish there was some way to make these sort of things (think chair rail) temporary. I live in military housing (UGLY and very dated) and miss having these little touches that make things a home.
I'm going to do my guest bathroom with the board and batten, however, I want to give the room a rustic, manly look. Has anyone put the room color (besides black) on the board and batten and maybe use a white on the top? Also, if I use the lattice, wonder what I could to to maybe stain or just varnish the strips and wood, and maybe have a paint color created to match?? I'm in the process of remodeling an entire house, and would love to do things different. Any suggestions would be wonderful and very much appreciated! By the way, your bathroom is absolutely gorgeous!
Guest replied on Permalink
I just wanted to confirm that the parts of the wall that are painted white are the original wall just being re-painted. At times when i look at the photo, it looks like there is another layer on top of the original wall, aside from the dividers. We are in escrow for a new house and would love to do this!
Thank you so much, and love your site-- Im constantly telling my friends to check it out :)
Guest replied on Permalink
What do you do if your dry wall is textured?
Hannah Johnson replied on Permalink
Hi Ana,
We are updating our bathroom and will be doing B&B project on the walls. We have the yucky Orange Peel wall texture on our walls. What kind of board backing would you recommend?
Nicole R replied on Permalink
So, how did you do behind the toilet? Did you remove the whole toilet or just the tank? This might be obvious to some people, but I wasn't sure how to go about doing behind my toilet. Thanks! :)
shannon lang replied on Permalink
i love love love this idea. i live in an old bungalow. old bungalow=tiny bathroom+ugly plaster damaged walls. this would be perfect to spruce up my water closet errr...bathroom, if u can call it that. however, i have a pedestal sink...any suggestions? i guess i could always just do it on one wall???
Wow! This is just what I was looking for. I have been thing bead board for years but couldn't aford it but this is perfect. Thanks. I am so glad I found your site. Ive already foud a lifetime of other projects also.
firemanherc replied on Permalink
Hello Ana,
I was wondering if you knew what the color name and manufacturer of the paint is in the very first pic on this page above the board and batten? Thanks!
michaelje replied on Permalink
And I argued back . . . But I had a baby on my back and ten zillion other decision to make at the time, like where to put the toilet and what size rafters we needed for the great room ceiling . . . and you were easy . . . I just bought the whole set . . .tiny mirror with a shelf seemed like a great idea at the time . . . and you didn't tell me that the shelves won't hang straight . . .

My parents are in the process of opening a small winery and I was talking to them about food for kind of soft opening, introduction, VIP party. They're looking at 50-70 people and the wines will mostly consist of Zinfandel and Riesling blends. It's Southern IL and the taste buds down there prefer sweeter wines, so they've basically got a dry,semi dry, semi sweet, and sweet wine made from the Zin and Riesling. They also made two wines with natural fruit juices, Riesling blended with blackberry and rasberry in a semi-sweet wine. They were looking for foods that they'll be able to carry like meats, cheeses, and olives, but I think for a opening party they should step it up for the party and have a few hot appetizers or something more that helps to pair with the wines. It's only the two of them unless I get down to help them for the party, so simpler is better. The crowd mostly won't be sophisticated wine drinkers. I'm thinking something like: -Jerk Marinated Pork Skewer (sweeter and fruit blended wines in marinade) -Meatballs in a red wine sauce (with their dry reserve Zin) -Mini Beef Welligtons (if I can find a good price on tenderloin) -Assorted Meats and Cheeses (it's easy, but expensive) -Hummus, Spinach Dip, -Melon with wrapped in procuitto or panchetta -A Sangria made with a few wines I'm not sure what other food to think of to go with the sweeter wines, everything I'm thinking of works best with dry wines, which aren't the big sellers down south.
I can think of tons of pairings with dry whites, and with dry reds, gotta think on this one.

Maybe some kind of bbq appitizers, not sure exactly what that would be. Most bbq i do is really messy. Maybe change the meatballs to bbq?
a bit off topic but is this winery near Carbondale? I went to school at SIU and used to go to all the wineries down in that area. Yes, you will most likely be dealing with college kids if this is the area your parents have their winery.

Kings of Leon Singer: "I Thought I Wasn't Good Enough"
No food after 8 P.M. Cayenne pepper and lemon. Special K three times a day. We all have our weight loss tricks. The Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill has come clean about his own body issues in an interview with Q, revealing that in his younger days he often ran in extreme temperatures and jacked up his coffee intake to keep his weight down [via gigwise.com]. "I'd do anything to keep my hands and mouth busy without eating," he said. "I always thought that I wasn't good enough."
He's mellowed on the borderline-eating-disorder behavior. But apparently Followill still suffers from a few barroom insecurities: "I want to look like I can defend myself. I want a guy to look at me in a bar and know he can't talk shit to me or run me over -- even though he probably could," he said.
Oh, Caleb. The Hanson brothers don't want any trouble. The middle one just wants to know if you ever get mistaken for him when you wear your hair long-- and, you know, if you might want to jam sometime.

Where's The Outrage? The Way We Were Is Not Much Different Than the Way We Are
7:23 pm in Uncategorized by cmaukonen
Short and sweet. My last diaries are presented to explore what what could and might take place now or the not very distant future, give our history and what our culture currently [at least tacitly] approves of.
An entry on Rowan Wolf's Cyrano's Journal Today — Article by Andre Vltchek with Forward by Patrice Greanville — delves into the writing by Andre Vltchek and the critique by Patrice Greanville. Vltchek himself laying into the public at large for their lack of any real action towards the bankers and corporations and what not.
The citizens of the Western Empire are actually so lethargic and indoctrinated, that even when billions are stolen from them (not just from the people in their colonies), when banks get bailed-out after their speculative orgies, or after so-called elections get fully subsidized and manipulated by the corporate mafia, they do nothing; absolute nothing!
Go to a pub in the UK or Germany, and 'everybody knows everything.' You will hear it repeatedly: 'politicians are swine' 'corporations are controlling elections.' If you stay long enough, after several pints of beer someone will perhaps slam his fist on the table: "We need revolution!" Then everybody agrees and they all go home… and the next day – nothing.
'Occupy Wall Street' activists got roughed up by the police… And nothing. Everybody goes home. And shouts at the television.
Vltchek then asks ..
Is there still anything that will outrage people to the point that 'they would actually not go home?' That they would stay on those bloody streets, build barricades and fight, as they did in the past, even as recently as in 1968?
How many millions have to die in the Western colonies, before the people in Europe and North America pay attention, recognize the massacres and admit that they are actually citizens of a fascist empire, and that it is their moral obligation to fight it and dissolve it? Is 10 million in the DRC not enough? Is one coup after another that the West openly orchestrates, not a sufficient eye opener?
A question that has been asked over and over.
I think some historical perspective is required here. First of all our revolution was not so much a revolution but a bunch of elite merchants and bankers that did not want to pay taxes to jolly of England anymore, as well as plantation owners who were afraid the England might free all the slaves, including the ones in the colonies. Which — by the way — England did, not to long after.
As for as the English revolutions and the French revolution and Russian revolution, the conditions that the serfs and commoners lived under were horrific and the attitudes of the elites and royalty were as Dickens described as "If they would rather die … they better do it and decrease the surplus population." And that is putting it mildly.
In Russia the lead up was Bloody Sunday. Where the people and workers demonstrated and wanted to give the Tzar a petition, and the Tzar sent in his Cossacks who killed and maimed hundreds.
In other words life was hell at best.
We have come a long way since them but that is the problem. Even during the height of the depression of the 1930s, few if any had to live in conditions like that. No medical at all, water was undrinkable, the Feudal Lords would take what little food there was even if the harvest was bad. No television, radio, or Internet …
Now in the worst of times and places, life is as bad. We have come a long way but in the process we have become lethargic, complacent, passive/aggressive, arrogant, self involved, egotistical and really do not give a wet slap. We have lost our ability for passion and replaced it with reaction.
Our creative technology has made wars and executions downright boring. Killing has almost become common place and most people just want it to be either hidden away or inoffensive.
So we have reactions in a pub but little action anywhere. It's much more entertaining and comfortable to sit on the couch or play video games. Taking one's aggressions out on Twitter.
But our overall behavior has not changed much, we are just more felicitous about it. Which is why no matter how outrageous my predictions seem, they are not improbable. No more improbable than waging war forever or incinerating thousands halfway around the world.

Nintendo wins at Japan
We all know the DS is kicking ass. It has excellent games that unite everyone from oldsters to little kids, and the DS Lite is the sexiest portable system around (sorry, PSP. Maybe the new PSP - see below - will reclaim the crown.) But this past week, in Japan, Nintendo has hit another milestone: every single one of the top 10 selling games across all platforms is for the Nintendo DS. From Final Fantasy III on down, including a Brain Age sequel, Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and New Super Mario Bros., Nintendo racked up the sales. It's got to sting: PSP's getting slammed and the 360 might as well not even exist. Want to see the full chart for yourself? Hit the ever-saucy NeoGAF (beware: young children should run in terror.)
Our sister mag, PSM, has released the first concrete details on the new version of the PSP. Next Generation - another sister publication - has distilled the info you need. The PSP is just getting a redesign; it's not a whole new system (contrary to what you may think, Sony's not stupid.) The new edition will be smaller and lighter, with a built-in 8GB of flash memory to save games and other media to. PSM even suggests that the new PSP will have a built in camera. No word on when it's going to come out, but PSM suggests that, iPod style, the new PSP will simply replace the old one - no price drop.
Break more faces
Sega's hard-boiled crime adventure, Yakuza, isn't even out in the US yet. But hat hasn't stopped Sega Japan from announcing the sequel. The game's official site has updated with a bunch of details - English speakers can at least enjoy the downloadable desktop wallpaper. One of our favorite forum posters, duckroll - hey, he helped us out that one time - has decoded some of the juiciest info. Turns out Yakuza 2 will take place in the same city as the original - as well as Osaka, the second biggest city in Japan. The big news is that the action is being ramped up for the sequel, including a better targeting system and more battle actions. We're digging the original - check our preview - so it's good to hear that things are on track for a solid sequel. It's PS2 only for now. No word, obviously, on whether Sega will bring it west; that depends on how many of you guys pick up Yakuza, we expect. So buy it.
The internet has run out of names
There are already a few game trading sites on the internet. We like the looks of Goozex, though. Despite the incoherent name, the idea is great: you put up lists of games you don't want anymore and let other people pick 'em out. When someone grabs your game, you score Goozex points, which you can then cash in on a later trade. Each trade also costs a buck, which isn't too bad, we figure. We don't know how well it works just yet, but it makes tons of sense. Check it out. Ignore the cartoon dinosaur.
Is it, really?
Lovably curmudgeony British website Kikizo has put up a self-congratulatory story about a discovery it made at last week's Games Convention in Germany. It appears that the European slogan for the PlayStation 3 is "This is living." It has a certain je ne sais quoi, we suppose. Hit the link to see a screen cap of the pleasantly squishy font the letters are printed in.
Nope, it doesn't get more exciting than that.
TimeShift... time shifted
Looking out for 360/PC shooter TimeShift? You're going to end up waiting even longer. The game - which we felt was more than a little gimmicky - is now shoved into next year. Given that fact ,we can only hope that the extra time helps them work out the kinks. That's about all we know: check out our last hands-on if you want to know what you're waiting for.

Gathering toys and funds (for more toys) for nearly 20 years, Toys for Tots is still going strong in their mission to give gifts to those whose trees are a little barer than others.
As for what they've done, it's nearly impossible to quantify the amount of joy they've been responsible for and the number lives they've changed over the past two decades. However, they have distributed over 469 million toys to over 216 million children. With a list that long, they might as well be Santa.
This year, Rocketeers pitched to donate two full bins of toys. What's more important, however, are the smiles on the faces of those who will receive them in less than two weeks.

Timberlake's Monday show another part of 'busiest fall' of nine-year-old FedExForum
He will dance and he will sing, and Justin Timberlake will surely show some extra love to his home city when he plays FedExForum on Monday night as part of his 20/20 Experience World Tour. But he'll also be participating in something else: a high-profile, relatively active run of late for the region's 9-year-old sports and entertainment facility.
"Without a doubt, it's the busiest fall we've had since we've opened," said Eric Granger, vice president of arena operations for the Grizzlies, who operate the Forum. "Going into this season and all the way into the spring, it's going to be our busiest year and certainly our most exciting year."
In addition to the usual load of Grizzlies and Tigers basketball games, the Forum has seen a modest uptick lately in high-profile concerts and shows. In October, the building hosted the Eagles and country star Jason Aldean, as well as a World Wrestling Entertainment card. On Nov. 29, John Mayer and Philip Phillips are scheduled to perform, and December brings the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the Zac Brown Band.
Granger credits the Forum's recent successes in attracting shows to how well recent concerts fared. Sellout crowds were the norm for shows such as a May Paul McCartney concert that was sandwiched between high-profile Western Conference Finals games, as well as Kid Rock, Elton John and Justin Bieber shows.
"When a market has done well like Memphis has been doing, agents look to book more shows there," said Barry Leff of Beaver Productions, who promoted the Eagles show in October and booked the Mayer/Phillips event later this month.
The Forum will be especially busy in March. Events are planned on 14 days, but that doesn't tell the whole story. Two high-profile tournaments — the inaugural American Athletic Conference event March 12-15 and an NCAA Tournament regional March 27-29 — will give FedExForum events with multiple games in one day, meaning there are 20 basketball games planned for that month alone.
There's an upshot here beyond music and hoops. Every seat occupied at FedExForum generates $1.15 that goes into a fund that helps pay off the bonds issued in 2002 to build the facility. "Any time that there's activity in the Forum it helps create revenue that I can pay the bonds with," Bill McGaughey, chairman of the Sports Authority Corporation, said in April.
Attempts to check on the progress of the bond payments last week were unsuccessful.
Granger and Forum director of booking Brett Reopell spent last week in New York City at the Billboard Touring Conference, where arenas try to put their best feet forward to book future acts. Given the opportunity to pitch his building, Granger tries to dispel notions that Memphis is a soft, slow-selling market without much discretionary income. He touts the Grizzlies' recent increase in season ticket sales, the marketing the Forum does on behalf of acts and even Memphis' spot on a map that makes it a logical stop for acts coming from and going to various cities.
And, "I'm not opposed to begging," Granger said, then laughed.
Got tickets?
The 20-plus trucks carrying Justin Timberlake's equipment were due in Memphis Sunday after a Saturday show in Columbus, Ohio. They're scheduled to begin unloading early Monday morning for the 8 p.m. show at FedExForum. As of midday Sunday, tickets for the show were going for no less than $175 apiece on the secondary market. Lower-level and floor seats were in the neighborhood of $500 apiece.

Well... I don't think they'd get mixed up, since by "merging" the forums, I don't mean mashing them together, I mean making ORP a sub-forum of the general roleplay section, which would be PRP.
:I Which means they'd still be in different forums.
Glad you like the idea though.
This is as inactive as ORP has ever been since I came here. Dx [/But I'm pretty sure it was in the process of dying when I came.]

According to our WDS (Devices) service, LG, of South Korea, grew its global mobile phone shipments by +19% YoY in Q3 2014, the highest level for three years. Volumes were bolstered by solid demand for its premium- G3 and low-mid-tier L-series III products. Now that LG's strategy of focusing on the G series flagships in North America and elsewhere is paying off, LG MUST turn its attention to the China and India markets where it continues to lag. Additional analysis of LG in the global and regional mobile phone market can be downloaded by clients here.
One of the fast growing local handset vendors, Micromax in India, shipped its highest handset units worldwide during Q3 2014, capturing the estimated 2% global handset market share. Boosted by the strong volume growth, Micromax ranks the world's 10th largest handset vendor in our handset vendor ranking in Q3 2014 for the first time ever.
Micromax is doing very well in its home Indian market, and is growing its market share in overseas markets such as Bangladesh, Nepal and Russia, and is preparing to roll out its handsets in more overseas markets. The detailed analysis on the Q3 2014 global handset vendor volume and market share can be viewed at this link, available to our paid WDS clients.
According to the recently published insight report for Motorola under our Wireless Device Strategies (WDS) service, Motorola is clearing showing signs of rebounding in terms of global handset shipment units in Q3 2014, mainly due to the continued and robust sales of its affordable Moto G and Moto E handsets across Latin America, Western Europe and Asia Pacific. This is the Motorola's fifth straight quarter of sequential handset shipment growth. We estimate that Motorola is capturing 2% global handset market share during Q3 2014. Additional in-depth analysis on volume and value metrics can be checked at this link.
According to a new report from our WDS (Devices) research service, worldwide handset manufacturing and assembly continue to polarize around a handful of production locations, such as China, Vietnam and Brazil. Our extensive report -- published to clients here -- tracks cellular handset manufacturing (production) by 6 regions and 10 countries from 2001 to 2013. The report is a valuable tool for handset vendors, component makers, IPR owners, software developers, operators and other stakeholders to monitor global cellphone production by country.
If it's October, then Google must be putting the final touches on its next Nexus smartphone. Google's next smartphone, the Nexus X (aka the Nexus 6 or Motorola Shamu), is rumored to be released soon, though an exact date has not yet been officially announced by Google. The next generation in Google's powerful yet affordable lineup of smartphones is speculated to be a 5.9" phablet with Quad HD resolution powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805. The new device follows the latest trend by device makers to super-size smartphones. While, given their size, these phablets are polarizing for many users, they allow device makers to show off their best-of-breed technologies, and though they make up a small proportion of the total smartphone market, phablets typically command premium prices and higher margins for vendors.
The Next Nexus?
Strategy Analytics forecasts phablet and other handset sales in our WDS (Devices) report: Handset Sales Forecast by Type: Phablet, Superphone, Smartphone, Feature Phone & Basic Phone. The phablet and superphone segments look especially promising as a super-high-growth market, bolstered by consumers' preferences for display sizes bigger than 4 inches. These comprehensive report forecasts global mobile phone sales by type from 2003 to 2020, and it identifies which categories will grow at above-average rates during the next 7 years. Types of devices covered include super-phablets, standard phablets, superphones, standard smartphones, smart feature phones, standard feature phones and basic phones.
According to a new report from our WDS (Devices) research service, global LTE handset sales will grow a huge +500% between 2013 and 2020. From 2018 onwards, 4G will make up the majority of handsets sold worldwide. Our extensive report forecasts LTE handset sales from 2010 through 2020, including sales by type, category and mode. Specific categories include LTE-Advanced, LTE-Broadcast, LTE-Direct, VoLTE, LTE Cat 3 through 10, FD-LTE and TD-LTE. The report is a valuable tool for handset vendors, component makers, software developers, operators and other stakeholders to support their high-growth 4G planning activities.
IFA, one of the world's largest mobile and consumer electronic industry tradeshows, and several satellite events, will take place this week in Berlin, Germany, between Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 10th September, 2014.Interest in IFA has been sluggish in recent years, but this year's event has something of a buzz about it. Analysts from our WDS (Devices) research service will be attending the event and pounding the show floor to bring you the latest updates.We highlight three major trends that you MUST prioritize to explore at the IFA show:1. Wearables: Numerous hardware makers are keen to get their smartwatches and fitness bands into the global market before Apple's rumored iWatch / iTime juggernaut arrives in the coming weeks. We recommend visiting the booths of Samsung, LG, Sony and Motorola to view their latest smartwatch models. We believe Samsung will focus partly on fitness, LG and Motorola on design, and Sony on Japanese-centric features like waterproofing.2. Phablets: If 2015 is the year of the smartwatch, then 2014 is the year of the phablet. The global market, particularly across Asia, is being flooded with them. Samsung's Note 4 will be the highlight of IFA and the main mobile show in town. Can Samsung wow enough to outshine Apple's imminent new iPhone 6 portfolio? Will big-screen phablets cannibalize small-screen tablets next year?3. Motorola: Expect to see an increasingly confident Motorola touting its new products. With Lenovo's money and momentum behind it (subject to various regulatory approval), the Motorola team looks very motivated right now. We expect to view the updated G2 and X+1 smartphone models at competitive pricepoints, as well as the fashion-centric 360 smartwatch with a rounded face. Europe rivals, like Wiko France, will be looking nervously over their shoulders.
According to our Devices (WDS) research service, Samsung's global mobile phone shipments dipped annually in Q2 2014, in the face of growing pressure from Chinese and local vendors in markets worldwide. However, in the high-value LTE segment, Samsung is a clear global leader and it is well positioned to attack the fast-emerging China 4G market in the second half of 2014. This published report, available to clients, includes additional datapoints and analysis of Samsung's LTE gains.
According to a recent Q2 2014 report for LG, published under our Wireless Device Strategies (WDS) service, LG finally came back into profit for the first time in a year, due to robust shipments of LTE smartphones such as the G3, G2, G Pro 2 and G2 mini, and the widespread availability of affordable L-series 3G smartphones across both developed regions and emerging markets. However, China and India, the two biggest handset markets in the world, still remain a weak-spot for LG to address immediately, as a number of locally-focused vendors, such as Xiaomi, are growing their market presence quarter by quarter.
According to the latest research from our WDS (Devices) service, mobile phone sales will reach 430 million units and generate revenues of US$87 billion in China during 2014. In contrast, mobile phone sales will stabilize at 163 million units and deliver revenues of just US$60 billion in the United States this year. China will overtake the United States for the first time ever to become the world's largest mobile phone market by value.
We forecast mobile phone sales to grow 15 percent annually to reach a record 430 million units in China during 2014. Mobile phone trade revenues will surge 53 percent annually to reach a record US$87 billion this year. In contrast, mobile phone sales in the United States will grow zero percent annually, while trade revenues will increase only 4 percent to US$60 billion in 2014. China will finally overtake the United States for the first time this year to become the world's largest mobile phone market by value.
China's impressive mobile growth is being driven by the country's rapid shift to 3G and 4G smartphones. Major brands, such as Samsung, Huawei and Lenovo, are aggressively expanding their distribution channels and product ranges across the region to meet extremely strong demand from Chinese consumers for more advanced mobile phones.
The United States is maturing and has now lost its crown to China as the world's largest mobile phone market by revenue. However, it is important to remember the US remains by far the mobile industry's most valuable country by profit. High average selling prices for mobile phones and huge operator subsidies from Sprint and others continue to make the US a very profitable market for major device brands such as Apple, Samsung and Alcatel.

Holy Packer craziness
I'm not sure what it is about this season, but I feel as though the
Packer playoff coverage has been ridiculous and over the top. As the
game is tomorrow, it's reached it's frenzy today.
Tonight there will be a community pep rally at Lambeau. Each of the
local tv station have hosted their own locally produced specials. On
last night's 10:00 news, I'd say about 70% of the broadcast was Packer
There were at least 2 reporters reporting live from the Atrium at
Lambeau Field the whole week. There was also a girl reporting live from
the parking lot at Miller Park because that's where County Stadium once
stood and the Packers used to play at County Stadium.
Come on guys, isn't this a bit of a stretch? They went into a random
gas station and asked opinions about the rumor that Brett is coming
back and then had graphics with people's email reactions as well.
And of course, this isn't "playoff" coverage. It's "road to the superbowl."
Look, I'm as excited as the next fan. But shouldn't we win a playoff game before we start talking Super Bowl?
Maybe I'm being a wet blanket, but I just think this is way too much
too soon. I'm sick of the Packers this week and the game isn't for
another 24 hours. This is a whole lot of hype and it could lead to some
major letdown.
I'm sorry, but I just don't need to know what the beat writer in Biloxi
Mississippi has to say. I don't need to know what Mason Crosby and Jon
Ryan think of the Seattle kicker. I don't need to see the Miller Park
parking lot or where Brett Favre might have possibly thought about
eating dinner once.
I'm well aware of how obsessed this state is, but I just think we should have something to go on, first.
This isn't the wonder team. It isn't infallible (just ask the Bears).
Does anyone remember last year? I'm not sure I can believe that this
team went from dud to stud in a year. We have flaws and a trip to the
Super Bowl just isn't guaranteed. We have to get past Seattle and then
we have to deal with Dallas, which we know we have a problem with.
Shouldn't we all just take a deep breath and relax and enjoy the game,
instead of whipping into a ridiculous frenzy?

Turkey Day isn't complete without one of America's favorite pasttimes! In a house full of testoterone, football will put a busy home at ease and keep men glued to their seats. Start your day off with the Houstan Texans v. Detroit Lions match at 12:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
If you get bored with that game, switch over to the Washington Redskins v. Dallas Cowboys match at 4:15 p.m. ET on Fox before tuning into the NY Jets v. New England Patriots showdown at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.

I've got a recipe that calls for dried minced garlic which I forgot to purchase. Can I substitute garlic powder? If so, would it be the same amount?
I am sure you can add in powder instead...I am not good at measurments, so I would add in half and then do taste tests from there. I would also do one for one of real garlic if you have it.
It's for chili seasoning mix (bulk) and it calls for 1/2 c of dried minced garlic. Should I try 1/4 c, you think?
Found this online: Equivalents: A head or bulb of garlic usually contains about 10 cloves. 1 clove = 1 teaspoon chopped garlic = 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic = 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder = 1/2 teaspoon garlic flakes = 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic = 1/2 teaspoon garlic juice Substitutes: granulated garlic (provides flavor, but not texture) OR garlic flakes (Substitute 1/2 teaspoon garlic flakes for every clove of garlic) OR garlic powder (Substitute 1/8 teaspoon powder for every clove of garlic called for in recipe.) OR garlic salt (Substitute 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt for every clove of fresh garlic called for in recipe. Reduce salt in recipe.) OR asafetida (powder) OR rocambole OR garlic juice (especially when you want the flavor, but not the pungency, of garlic) OR shallots OR onions OR garlic chives
Use a lot less. The garlic powder is going to be a lot stronger (and depending on which kind you have may have a lot of salt in it).
Thanks, everyone! I mixed it up and will know a little more when I make a pot of chili. Here's hoping it turns out decent. LOL!

6 Signs You're At Risk Of Developing An Eating Disorder
By Alice Greene
1. You are continually obsessed with your weight, counting calories or what types of food you are (or are not) eating.
2. You get on the scale multiple times a day to check your weight.
3. You believe you are never perfect or thin enough, and you must control yourself with more restrictions and diligence to reach that state of perfection.
4. You exercise excessively to compensate for eating, or to punish yourself for eating too much.
5. You hate your body, no matter how thin you get.
6. You are ashamed of the way you eat, and often eat in hiding.
You don't have to progress into an eating disorder to get help. More dieticians, coaches, like myself, and a growing number of psychologists are now skilled in treating eating problems, particularly emotional eating, binge eating and body image issues. It is far easier to resolve these issues before they become life-threatening, but you have to be willing to reach out for our help. 4 Ways You Can Learn To Love Your Body
The good news is, eating problems and food triggers are fairly easy to resolve. So don't wait to get help if you think you have a problem, no matter how small you think it might be. You can eat normally, and you can be free of the shame you carry about your body and yourself. I know how it feels, because I used to carry that shame and struggled with eating issues for most of my life. I wish I had gotten help sooner. So does Julia.
For more insight about food issues and how to resolve them, get two free chapters from the book INSPIRED TO FEEL GOOD.

pre obvious AD to Carry AP to Nuke, but ur survivability is **** lategame as AP, Unless u get a RoA or sumthing
The Council
Personally I play AP, I find that you can get your job done from a greater range with more HP then AD Corki if you play AP. AP is not for everyone though, and I know I will probably get attacked for saying it's viable.
Junior Member
most of my games last around 30 minutes, so being able to get all three of those bf items doesn t happen much. Ive been starting the game with a health crystal, on blue pill back, i buy boots, then go for catylyst, then triforce, then turn catylyst into the veil.
I used to play solo mid carry AD Corki exclusively, but I've been trying out AP Corki lately. It's fun, but it doesn't feel quite as strong as AD Corki come late game. Because of Corki's bad AP ratios, I focus on magic penetration: Sorcerer's Shoes, Haunting Guise, Rylai's, Void Staff
Before I played corki I mostly played mages and was really fed up with stacking the same AP items all the time - but I wasn't familiar enough with AD to build an AD Corki. My corki is a (to me, fun) mix of both. Since I start with sheen I'm required to spam spells during battle anyways so I might as well have some AP to boost that spell damage! I build: 1. Amplifying tome + Health Pot (Crystal + 2 pots is smarter, but I'm an aggressive ass) 2. Sheen + whatever boots fit the situation 3. First decision: Rageblade or Rylai's If you've managed to make a few burst kills with sheen, you can keep going down that lane by building a Rageblade. I try to get the Pickaxe first for extra last-hitting minion ease. If you're forced to play cautiously, throwing rockets at the enemy from afar or simply forced to Valk out of battles early, go for Giant's Belt. Once you have Rylai's you can (assuming you're still playing defensively) slow any pursuers you have. 4. If you got the Rageblade, get Rylai's as 4th. If you got Rylai's get Rageblade as fourth! To me they're both essential items for Corki. 5. Is the game dragging on this far you can go for Trinity force, Stark's Fervor or Infinity Edge. No need to get Frozen Mallet because you're already slowing the f out of everyone! (Wait, or does Frozen Mallet stack with Rylai's? That'd be AWESOME!) This build works really well for me since it 'encourages' (forces) me to make full use of both sides of Corki, getting my hands dirty in teamfights as well as hunting down the stragglers.

Taxpayers in School District 2 will pay less for the $122 million bond approved in November after the first series of bonds sold Tuesday with a lower interest rate than expected.
When planning the bond and promoting it to voters, SD2 officials estimated bonds would sell at a 4.56 percent interest rate and a homeowner with a $200,000 house would pay about $10.95 a month in additional property tax.
However, the bonds the sold Tuesday with an interest rate of 3.55 percent, meaning the owner of a $200,000 home will be paying roughly $6.45 a month in additional property tax.
Overall, that difference in interest rates will knock about $22 million off the total price of the bond, said Leo Hudetz, SD2's chief financial officer.
"It's pretty significant savings," he said.
The district first started to get indications in December that interest rates could come in lower than officials had planned. But at the time, they were looking at a potential drop from 4.56 percent to a flat 4 percent.
No one anticipated it to come in at 3.5 percent.
"It's awesome," Hudetz said.
The district sold $80.9 million of the $122.3 million Tuesday. The remaining $41 million will be sold off in the next two years.
The $80.9 million will be used on deferred maintenance projects that will begin next summer, including extensive work to update and expand Broadwater and McKinley schools downtown. The rest will be used to design and build two new middle schools in the Heights and on the West End.
SD2's planning committee last week recommended to the board that the Heights middle school be built first and that it start the West End school the next year. The board will make its decision Monday night.
Sites for the new middle schools were secured last fall. The Heights middle school will be built at Bench and Barrett roads next to Bitterroot Elementary School. The West End middle school will go up at 56th Street West and Grand Avenue.
Given the size of the bond — $122.3 million — the district's financial adviser, D.A. Davidson & Co., recommended early in the planning process that the district seek ratings from two credit-rating agencies, Standard & Poor's and Moody's.
Officials learned in December that the district had been given a rating of Aa3 by Moody's and AA- by Standard & Poor's, both considered high marks by the industry.
Those favorable ratings helped SD2 secure a better interest rate, Hudetz said. But also playing a role, he said, was the nation's latest jobs report, which came in lower than economists had expected. Those numbers adversely affected the market but improved conditions for SD2 to get a lower interest rate.
Hudetz also said the amount individual property owners pay in the bond tax will go down as more people move to Billings and the tax base expands.
The bond, approved by voters on Nov. 5, was the biggest to pass in Yellowstone County history, winning 54 percent of the vote.

Special Features-
It's funny you mention about the KYHD dance being violent. On Happy Together, with Luna, Sulli, Krystal, Yunho, Changmin, and Onew, they talked about being upset at each other over anything Yunho said he had a grudge against Changmin. "Why?" asked Changmin. Well, during KYHD performances during the part where they face each other he is supposed push Yunho's chest but instead he used to thump him REALLY hard with his fist because he was so into it. Yuhno was like, "It hurt so much but I have to stay in the song." So Yunho told him to change the choreography specifically to a push without telling Changmin why LOL.
I've only watched one episode of the tv show but love the books so nice t-shirt Simon
Khal Drogo, Game of Thrones? :D
Burt Reynolds
Good video as usually but although I am a Big bang fan, I do agree that "Tonight" was like out of category… And Roly Poly I love love that dance.. Happy new year btw

How did I know BB was gonna win. Because they're the best. that's how I knew :P
Matario was awesome!
I wish the guy that made my pizza was as cool as him ):<
Before watching the video, I did feel like Big Bang was gon win. *stares down at Martina* Spudgy wants cuddles~ Happy New Year guise!
I just had to comment on Martina popping out of Simon's arm pit on the Girls Generation spoof. Genius. And how on earth did I know that Big Bang was going to be #1??? Lucky guess. *looks at Martina*

Next workshop Half Second series / Half Primary - book here
I have been practising yoga since 2001; a student first and always, I have been sharing what I continue to learn since 2007. I teach SMALL CLASSES; my aim is to help people develop a personal, safe and healing practise. My inspiration for sharing the practice of yoga comes from my teacher JOHN SCOTT and from my students who wish me to share yoga with them...all of whom inspire me to keep learning and sharing the way of yoga everyday. I offer 3 class types to suit people of all age groups or differing levels of experience / ability; Ashtanga yoga Counted class, Ashtanga yoga Assisted Self Practise (Mysore) and a Hatha yoga class. I also hold regular workshops. I teach on the three shires borders of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.
Please see classes page and workshops page for more details.
I wish to thank all who have, and who still continue sharing yoga with me (see about me) but I wish to particularly thank and acknowledge my first yoga teacher Kevin, my BWY Diploma tutor Val, Danny Paradise, Manju Jois, Lucy, and of course John who is continually showing me the way of yoga and without whom, I would not be sharing with you. Om sukha, om shanti, Sandra
