Yesterday on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon played Pictionary with Martin Short (who was on his team), Jerry Seinfeld and Miranda Sings. The game was so bad that it ended in a tie. As in both teams didn't score any of points.
So watch one of the worst games of Pictionary ever played because it is always fun to watch two teams compete for suckiest team of them all.
UPDATE: Julia Louis-Dreyfus Tweeted about the experience, "Wow. This is a bummer. Full disclosure, I was really tired."

Customer Feedback
"My son saw the green box in the pile of mail and audibly gasped, "Let's do a craft, mom!" We enjoyed a full half day making both the firefly and the sponge painted bugs. The firefly has been mounted to the ceiling in his bedroom and he says goodnight to it each night. :) Thank you for making such a great product!!!"
Karla C., via Facebook
"We just received our first crate! My son, who has never showed any interest in painting or art for more than one minute, sat in complete enthused concentration as he made his Fire Fly. I am so thrilled not only at his reaction, but of the high-quality and creativity of your products. I am beyond grateful to have found you!"

Busy with Bugs!Review by Kathleen K.
The Bugs crate has kept my kids busy for days. It is not something that they are done with in a few hours. We have gone on bug scavenger hunts and done all things bugs since we got the crate. Very entertaining, fun and informative for not only my kids but myself as well. We even made sandwiches and used bug cookie cutters to shape our sandwiches and then made paint out of milk and food coloring so they could paint their sandwiches before eating them.May 21, 2013
Bright & InterestingReview by Amanda R.
I love all the different supplies provided in the exact amount portioned for the craff. I also loved that you gave us the info cards so we actually learned something while doing this. Also it was a little messy (paint and sponges) but controlled so something we wouldn't normally do but it was an excuse to experiment. Also love that it was perfectly matched to the season-we're checking out bugs! This was my first crate so I can't think of anything I would do differently. The presentation was beautiful and really organized. Bright and interesting materials. It's a great gift idea but a little pricey for a friends birthday but certainly something a grand parent or relative would give.May 14, 2013
love the glow sticksReview by Haley T.
My son loved making his own flying bug! Teh best part was the glow sticks. The painting project could have used some more paint colors. So far, we love itMay 4, 2013
great directions for kidsReview by Erin E.
Loved that it was ready to go, and that the directions were simple enough for small kids to understand. I love the idea, and the concept. We looking forward to more crates.April 20, 2013
Love 'em!!Review by Julie M.
My daughter loved both activities in the Busy with Bugs crate! She was super excited to realize, too, that she gets to keep the reusable supplies to make more paintings!! I've told all of my friends, co-workers, etc that have kids about Kiwi crates.April 12, 2013
a new favoriteReview by Jess N.
This is my favorite crate in the 5 months I've been a member. Both activities were fun for my three year old and it was nice that there was one "clean" craft and one "messy" one. The flying glow bug still has my child mesmerized. I thought another box was weak, but overall we are blown away by your boxes! Thank you - I'm a mom that wants to "craft" with my kid, but lack the imagination and willingness to go into Michael's/Joanne's/etc. This box is a dream come true.April 7, 2013
Made for a great dayReview by Amy T.
the kids loved it!!!! Easy, cool, had to stand in a dark closet for a long time to watch them glow...l love the way the boxes are presented...the directions are so easy, everything is there and my daughter wants to know when you will be available in Brazil. Got a photo of my granddaughters in Seattle doing there project too...they're really pleased as well....what a fun day!April 2, 2013
fantastic qualityReview by Cathy B.
Instructions were easy for my kid to read/follow. There was also great educational value about the bugs. She told me so many things that I didn't know! While she has used the paint, she keeps using the sponges for other projects. The scales for parent involvement were a little off. For the bug that flies on the string, the six year old had no problems doing it all by herself.March 14, 2013
very special :)Review by Ilana K.
This was our first crate and my daughter felt very special. :) I loved the easy instructions and she was very proud of her firefly! The entire box had a good balance between some things we did together and some things she could do on her own while I prepared dinner. $20 does seem like a fair price for the quality of the projects and crates, but a bit steep for us. Even at $10 a crate, it would be an occasional luxury for us instead of a regular subscription. I am going to suggest it to the grandparents as a gift for our little ones though.March 12, 2013
unbelievably creativeReview by Laura W.
Making a bug with the jar was a great, unbelievably creative idea. Painting was very fun too. This one was great! Perfect for my 3 year old. Kiwi crate is really fun for her. We love that there are 2 projects in each crate, so fun for 2 days.March 6, 2013
love the messy scaleReview by Namita G.
It was cute and very creative and fun. My daughter loved the firefly. I love the messy scale to I could determine when we did each of the crafts. I think they are great!March 6, 2013
awesome crateReview by Richard C.
Loved everything! This was an awesome crate. We went on a 6 1/2 hour flight to Costa Rica and my son was mesmerized by the projects we had to make. He painted for a good 2 hours- he had a great time with the sponges!! It was the best crate we have had thus far- need more of those!!March 1, 2013
Great Finished ProjectReview by june s.
I liked that everything is included for the projects. It was nice to have a finished project the children were able to put in their rooms, and the bugs were great. We liked the sponges that expanded in water, and we liked the glow sticks that actually made the fireflies light up. The children wanted more paint colors. It would have been nice to have red, yellow and blue paints so we could make colors other than just orange. Although black paint was much appreciated by my son (one of his favorite colors), it doesn't mix with others.February 22, 2013
Gift for Younger KidsReview by angela v.
I loved the whole thing, my daughter lost interest pretty fast though and hasn't gone back to it. Do you think she is too old? 7. I thought she would be all over it, but really sad she didn't get into it more. Oh well. The concept is genius and the product itself came to me packaged well. I did buy this as a gift for my cousin's 4 year old, he seemed very into it. I would buy this as a gift for younger kids.February 19, 2013
great quality!Review by Angela V.
I loved the quality of the materials provided! Loved the theme and creativity! What kid doesn't love glow sticks, lol! A++ in my book :) Thanks again for your excellent service! It is worth every penny! I cut my coffee budget for this and am never disappointed, lol!February 18, 2013
Perfect for 3 & 5Review by Jasmine E.
We loved this crate! It was very well aimed at the ages of my children (3 & 5). All the projects were easy for them to accomplish and understand. The little paint cups that came with the bug sponge painting project weren't big enough for all the sponges.January 30, 2013
* love *Review by Jennifer B.
my kids *love* bugs, so this was such a great theme for them. they really liked flying their fireflies and painting with the sponges.January 25, 2013
independent playReview by Christine M.
It was very easy for both my children, 4 and 2 to do A LOT of it on their own. :)January 13, 2013
love the 2 craftsReview by Amanda B.
I loved having the two crafting options. I did one with my daughter and my husband did the other at different times. It was great to spend individual time doing them with our daughter and she really enjoyed the variety! You guys are great! Keep up the good work!January 10, 2013
easy to do with kidsReview by Angelina N.
I liked how everything was packaged. It was very easy for me to do with my kids. The lightening bug in particular was fun because I could help my 2 year old while my 4 year old was able to do it herself after I showed her. They both had a lot of fun with the completed bugs.January 6, 2013
daughter loved it!Review by Kristin H.
My daughter loved putting the stickers on the firefly. She also loved doing the sponge bugs painting. In fact she did one page with me and then when her daddy came home she did it again with him on another page! We ran out of yellow paint when doing the bug stamps. Since yellow is used to make blur and green and we needed so much more there wasn't enough. It also would have been nice for the paints to be true primary colors as it is great to show kids how they make "new" colors when you mix them. A bit harder to show when you have to work at balancing the colors out by adding a lot more of one color.December 25, 2012
easy yet amazing!Review by Stephanie S.
Loved the easy, yet super amazing looking, flying bug activity. I'm completely satisfied at this pointDecember 24, 2012
works for 2.5 yo and 5 yoReview by CHRISTINE M.
The sponges were awesome! As was the firefly project! I like how the 2 projects are of differing skill levels - works as I do one with my 2.5 yo and one with my 5 yo.December 23, 2012
not messy or too simplyReview by Maria S.
the projects were fun and doable for my daughter, without being messy or too simple. it was perfect! i also love that things stick on their own without having to glue it. :)December 19, 2012
wonderful for busy working momsReview by Fleta H.
We loved everything!! I think it's so great you provide all the materials and extra bonus questions for the kids. My daughter absolutely loves her glow bug she has named "silly bug". This was our first crate, and I am so thankful for the time I got to spend with my daughter doing the projects. I am a busy working mom and just don't have the time to put things like this together, so it was so fun and she thought it was great and learned a lot too!! Thanks Kiwi Crate!!!!December 19, 2012
great for summerReview by Laura C.
I love how well planned the activities are and how generous you are with supplies. If I absolutely had to find a critique...I might say it is almost a bit too immature for my six year old. I wish the activities were just a bit more challenging. A second kit for older kits would completely amaze me. I love the concept. I'm super impressed with the product. I have told everybody I know how much we loved Kiwicrate and how they should order ASAP to keep their kiddos busy this summer!December 18, 2012
so unique!Review by Anna L.
My son LOVED the firefly project.. such a unique idea :-) It was great!!December 18, 2012
amazing qualityReview by Marie B.
Amazing quality of materials. Very easy to follow directions. Kid loved it. This was our first crate and we were very impressed! Would like an option for a larger crate w more projects. We just can't wait until next month!December 13, 2012
love the quality and designReview by Liz W.
As always we love the quality and design of the materials: the paper selection fr the bug painting was beautiful, the sponges were cute and had great variety of shapes among them, the sponges "growing" in water provides a really cool teaching moment, I could go on as on. You guys really know what you are doing aesthetically. And my boys and I truly truly appreciate and enjoy that. I also really loves the insect cards. Neat to have and keep as we talk a lot about different bugs and what each does and does not do. I am a painter and art therapist and I see your stuff and wish I had come up with these ideas on my own! But I'm so happy that someone did and is sharing them. We thank you thank you thank you. My boys and I save our monthly sticker and booklets and supplemental stuff in a binder we call "our science kid book" and I always photograph and video parts of our process. It's special for all of us. You are a huge part I some really awesome memories that we are making :)December 12, 2012
HUGE hit!Review by Elizabeth F.
fire fly was a HUGE hit with boy and girl ages 4-3/4 & 6-1/2. Glow stick made it magical, but zip line on the lanyard was brilliant. bug painting was so-so. My son was not interested at all. My 6 year old artist was left a little lackluster with the way paint showed up on paper. She was more intrigued with the idea of making symmetrical fold over prints- but the card stock included was not conducive. glow sticks and zip lines! yeah!!!!December 10, 2012
my daughter loved itReview by amy m.
It was so easy to complete the projects. There were supplies left over for her to continue with her creativity. The bonus of compressed sponges and glow sticks in two different colors made it so much fun!! My daughter doesn't even like bugs and she loved it. You may already have this on your website, but it would be nice to have coordinating book titles for different age groups. Or even links to neat websites so they can look at pictures or watch short movies about the topic of the month.December 7, 2012
great surprise for kidsReview by marie h.
We liked that most everything you need was included in the box. We have two children and everything was equal which is important. Maybe email the parents if there is anything needed that might not be in the crate. This one you needed water and a bowl. We plan to surprise the kids with the next crate and it would be nice to know if there was any more prep we may need that is not in the box. Glad that I stumbled across this wonderful experience.December 7, 2012
Love loved the stickersReview by marcia s.
My daughter and I LOVED the rainbow of stickers for creating the stained glass effect! That was such an awesome craft. We didn't even get to the bug eyes...simply covering the bottle with color and attaching the CS_Wings and antennae was great. I also adored the heavy duty cupcake liner cups for painting. Where have those been all my life ? :) My daughter loves bugs, so this was a great crate. The bug cards were a nice touch, too. Great job!December 6, 2012
Can't wait for our next Kiwi Crate!Review by marcia b.
My daughter loved both activities. The firefly made from the plastic bottle was a really unique craft for us. I loved the 3-Dness of the craft. She loved her fire fly and even named him glowy. I also really liked the bug cards - loved the space to draw of the back and the just right amount of information. The cards lent themselves well to a discussion of similarities and differences. As a speech and language pathologist, I can really appreciate the language rich activities and opportunities in our crate. As a mom and SLP I am in love with Kiwi Crate. The only thing that hit my radar, this being our first crate, was that there was a lot of "packaging" - but I don't necessarly know that with this product there is a way around that. The directions are printed on really heavy card stock - maybe that can be changed? That being said - I love the quality of the product received, I loved all the pictures - so we could "read" the directions together.December 4, 2012
Love the firefly!Review by Brenda C.
We loved the firefly craft. We have been inserting glow sticks every day to watch him glow! We also liked the bug cards since it is something we can use again and again.We haven't done the bug paintings/sponging yet but I am sure it will be a big hit. I would love if Kiwi Crate came out with crates for the 8 on up crowd. My guys are 7 right now and some of the crafts we have modified (made more complicated) to suit an older child.December 4, 2012
glowsticks were greatReview by Jessica P.
Loved the firefly project with the glowsticks! My 4-year-old thought it was the coolest. We had visited friends recently who live in a cooler part of the country & she was chasing fireflies while we were there a month ago. I love that all the supplies are included so we can start the projects as soon as the package arrives. We also enjoy the extra educational info that's included.November 28, 2012
artistic, but not "girly"Review by Sarah P.
Both projects were very artistic, but without being too "girly". My daughter really enjoyed them both and I really liked they she could do them pretty independently after setting her up. I wasn't sure what the bigger plate that was included was for, though after doing both projects I realize it was for the painting project, but it wasn't included in either instructions. I really love the quality and diversity of each project.November 27, 2012
BUGS!Review by lianne r.
My son is obsessed with bugs so this was perfect timing. Also the sponge painting was so much fun. What a simple, yet really fun idea. LOVE YOU GUYS!November 26, 2012
great for my 3 year oldReview by Lisa R.
I was surprised at how "age appropriate" the crate truly was. I have ordered activities in the past that were too difficult for my 3 year ols. She loved the firefly zip line (peeling stickers was great!) and the sponges we have used over and over again to make additional crafts. She had a little trouble drawing her own bugs (from the bug cards). She got a little frustrated at that - but not bad. I am a teacher too - if I were planing this lesson I maybe would have used stencils of bugs / bug parts to get the kids going.November 25, 2012
cool spongesReview by Pamela C.
Fun projects - crates are educational and the kids have LOVED every project! We haven't gotten a bad one yet! My children are pretty independent and like to be able to do one of the projects without help. Love these crates. The kids REALLY liked watching the sponges expand in the water - cool!November 25, 2012
engaging for my 2 year oldReview by Larry G.
Quality of materials. It engaged my 2 year old. Craft and science = awesome! A bit more of the awesome stickers for around the bottle. My toddler really liked to over lap them and then was sad when she didn't have enough to cover the whole bottle. Even at 2 my girl gets so excited when she sees the green box. She know just what it is. She asks all the time "can we do a kiwi crate today?"November 17, 2012
great!Review by Phyllis K.
The activities were easy enough for my 3-year-old to be an active participant in. thought it was great!November 15, 2012
obsessed with firefliesReview by Yael V.
My daughter loves to paint & she loved the sponges. She's also obsessed with fireflies & she loved making one she could keep.November 13, 2012
super hands onReview by Kay L.
This was a very hands on crate with lots for my little guy to do. I loved that once the lightening bug project was completed, it was something he will continue to play with for some time. I also liked the bug info cards - saving these for a car trip or other moment when i need a distraction! The glossy paper for the sponge project didnt work too well - a more porus paper - like construction paper - would have been better - a 3.5 year old had difficulty not smearing the paint on the glossy paper.November 2, 2012
great for my sonReview by Phillip S.
The packaging is great. In addition to receiving the box in the mail, my son felt as if he were unwrapping a gift. We are very excited to have discovered Kiwi Crate and look froward to future deliveries.November 2, 2012

Andrew Nicholson
Shock pumps...why?
If you're thinking about trying to use a normal pump on your air shock like I was...don't be. Technically they do have the same interface, and I know that can be tempting. I thought to myself, "why buy a 'shock pump' when I could just use a pump I already have?" Don't make the same mistake I did. You know that little "psst" that escapes when you take your pump off the tire valve? It's enough to let every air molecule out of your fork. Your shocks need wayy more precision than your tires need, and that precision is just what "shock pumps" are made for. You screw it on, add or remove psi as needed, and take it off without any air leaking out. It's the only shock pump I've used, but I don't see what more you could want from one.

'Writers should create change'
A journalist, Nehru Odeh, believes writing should go beyond aesthetics. A good writing, according to him, should trigger a change in society. In this chat with Evelyn Osagie, he speaks on his writings and more
Nehru Odeh is known for his articles in The News Magazine. His incisive pieces earned him the conference editor of the 14th International Conference on Aids and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa (ICASA) in 2005. He has worked as a book and conference editor. Due to the creative nature of his pieces, many are not aware of his other side – creative writing. He was an active member of the Thursday Group, while he was at the University of Ibadan (UI) where he studied Sociology. He was at the Ebedi International Residency Programme for over five weeks.
You were an active member of the famed Ibadan literary group. And for quite a while, we have not hear from you. Why have you been silent?
It is not that I have been silent. I am still a very active part of the Ibadan literary group, and I am still in touch with all the members. The University of Ibadan was a very important phase of my development as a writer, and I always recognise that fact. I have been writing all this while because that is what I was born to do. It was because I had always wanted to be a writer that I decided to study at the University of Ibadan. That was where the writers were at the time. I could never have gone to any university other than the University of Ibadan. Even when I chose University of Ibadan as my first and second choice at the Joint Matriculation Examination, many of my friends at home thought I was committing examination hara-kiri. But I was undeterred. Though I had been writing before I went to the university, immediately I entered UI, the writers there identified my talent and welcomed me into their group. At the university, we were passionate about literature and philosophy and some of our favourite writers at the time were – Salman Rushdie, Milan Kundera, T. S Eliot, Christopher Okigbo, J.M Coetzee, Ben Okri, Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe. I have not been silent. I still write. Maybe I have not been in the public consciousness because of existential reasons- work and family pressures. That was why I needed a residency programme like the Ebedi International Writers' Residency. Although while I was at the university I was known as a poet, now I write fiction. I have been honing my skills as a novelist. And with what I gained at the university and the training received at an International Creative Writing Workshop and I think this is the right time to show the world the stuff I am made of.
What does your writing address?
As a writer, I am trying to explore the human experience, to bring out every day experiences and cast them in a new and fresh light. Writing is a self- appointed mission. And mine in this case is to bring out the things which people see every day but don't take cognizance of but which affect them and their world views in no small measure. I also write to shock the reader, to make him realise the evils in our society and the subtle ways he is being controlled and manipulated. So, I do not subscribe to the view which says writers should not paint a bad picture of the African society. My view is that every writer should write it the way it is so as to create the much-needed change in our society. Today, the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens is being celebrated because of the way he painstakingly portrayed the social injustice that was prevalent in the United Kingdom of his time.
How has your training as a journalist influenced your writing?
Journalism has impacted my writing positively in no small measure. First, it has taught me discipline. As a journalist I had the tyranny of deadlines and the discipline of limited time and space to contend with daily. And every writer needs that discipline. My training as a journalist is also related to my earlier love for poetry. Both professions have taught me not just the economy but also the importance of words. As a journalist and poet, I have learnt never to waste words and to use them in the right manner. Words are precious to every writer. Words are to the writer what tools and equipment are to the farmers and artisans. The way a writer makes use of words goes a long way in determining the quality of his works. And I always put this at the back of my mind whenever I am writing.
What is your experience at the Ebedi International Residency Programme like?
It was great. Before I came here I had been looking forward to a place like this, a place where I could be far away from Lagos, far away from the madding crowd, far away from the pressure of work, family, friends and society. I had looked forward to a place where I could write, write and write. And Ebedi provided the time, space and the right frame of mind to do that. I had never had that kind of unlimited time and space before I went to Ebedi. I praise Dr Wale Okediran and the board of Ebedi for the great work they are doing. So far the place has been very conducive and we have been having regular power, which is one of the most important things every writer needs.
What did you work on at the residency?
I am worked on a novel which I had started writing before I went there. I just needed the space and unencumbered time to complete it. The novel is woven around a polygamous family in an African society and the way the male child is privileged over the female child, the troubles families go through because of this social norm. Still my novel goes beyond that because it is a political satire and it tends to portray some of the ills in our society. I had planned to write at least a thousand words every day. And I knew it wasn't going to be easy to achieve that.
Have you been able to achieve that target?
On average I was able to achieve that, though it wasn't easy. It required a lot of sleepless nights, anxieties and headaches. At the end, I was able to do a substantial part of my work there and I am very happy. The point, really, is not about completing the work, but rather it is about finding time and space to do what I really love doing. And that alone led to my achieving great things.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas reportedly has proposed canceling the Oslo Accords with Israel.
Abbas made the proposal at the beginning of the week at a meeting of Palestinian leadership, the Frency news agency AFP reported, citing a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
A decision on the issue was postponed until after Abbas returns from the United Nations General Assembly at the end of the month, AFP reported. It is reportedly the first time the issue of abrogating the treaty has come up since it was signed in 1993, according to the news service.
While at the General Assembly, Abbas reportedly will push to have "Palestine" recognized by the group as a non-member state.
The Oslo Accords established the Palestinian Authority as the interim government of the Palestinians and was scheduled to last for five years, when final-status negotiations were scheduled to be completed.
Final-status agreement issues include Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, West Bank settlements, security and borders.

Originally written on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 11/10/12
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Collin Klein and third-ranked Kansas State bolstered their chances in the national championship chase by doing what Alabama failed to do. The Wildcats beat one of the newcomers in their conference. Only a few minutes after No. 1 Alabama lost, Klein threw a 62-yard pass to set up the first of his two touchdown runs and the Wildcats went on to a 23-10 victory Saturday night at TCU. And on Sunday, Kansas State (10-0, 7-0 Big 12) seems likely to take over the top spot in the new BCS rankings. "I have no thoughts about it whatsoever," said coach Bill Snyder, who claimed he didn't even know about Alabama's loss until getting in the locker room after the game. "I just found out. My reaction was, Wow!'," said Anthony Cantele, who kicked three field goals. "It doesn't change what we're going to do. ... We'll enjoy it for what it is, and get back to work." Kansas State's game had just started and Klein already had a rare turnover when SEC newcomer and former Bi...

Wadi Allaqi
Coordinates: 20°20′N 32°40′E / 20.333°N 32.667°E Wadi Allaqi, also transliterated as Wadi Allaqui or Wadi Alalaqi, is a wadi (dry river) in southern Egypt, about 180 km (110 mi) south of Aswan on the eastern shore of Lake Nasser.[1]
Wadi Allaqi is the major dry river in the southeastern part of the Eastern Desert of Egypt, draining the area from the hills near the Red Sea to the valley of the Nile. With a length of 250 km (160 mi), the wadi is used by the nomadic Bejas who live in the area – about 1,000 members of the Ababda and Bisharyn[2] tribes as of 2003 – to graze livestock, for the production of charcoal for fuel, to collect medicinal plants, for quarrying for copper and nickel and for agriculture on a small scale.[1] As of 1989 the area has been a nature reserve managed by the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency. It was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993.[1]

Originally written on Phillies Nation | Last updated 12/15/12
The Phillies have signed reliever Mike Adams to a two-year, $12 million contract, with a third-year vesting option at preusmably the same annual rate. Adams underwent surgery for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in October — a literal rib-removal procedure — but expects to be ready for opening day. He has had his fair share of health issues over the years but is still very much worth the risk at $12 million over two guaranteed years. As with most vesting contracts, its design will likely mean that Adams is very much worth that extra year and $6 million if the option is triggered. Adams, from 2008-11, was an elite major league reliever. He had videogame numbers in that span. He made 237 appearances in a setup capacity and posted the following numbers: 1.71 ERA, .235 BABIP, 2.52 SIERA, 28.3% K-rate, 6.8% BB-rate, 0.90 WHIP. He had a K/BB ratio over 4.0, an above average groundball rate, and what looked like a legitimate skill at inducing weak contact and keeping runs off the board. The Padres had Trevor Hoffman and Heath Bell closing games out in San Diego, while the Rangers went with Neftali Feliz, but Adams was better than all of them in this span. Last season, Adams saw his strikeout and walk rates decline, while injuries slightly limited his action. He threw 52.1 innings and had very good numbers but it was his worst season since becoming the Adams we know and love with the 2008 Padres. That isn't to say he will continue to decline, or that he has lost that Mike Adams mojo, but rather that it's important to remember that the Phillies signed the age 34-36 Adams and not the younger, peak version. However, what makes this move a great one, is that the Phillies didn't pay Adams current dollars for past performance. They didn't sign him to the eight-figure annual salary his peak numbers likely merited. They didn't even guarantee three years as an enticement to accept a lower annual value. Unless doctors accidentally removed his entire ribcage, or every other team has access to detailed medical data the Phillies don't, it's hard to find a reason to dislike this move. Even the watered-down version of Adams that pitched for the Rangers last season was worth $6 million, $ per WAR be damned, since I'm not really a fan of using WAR for relievers. The Phillies may have missed out on some big-time talent this offseason, but signing Adams to this reasonable contract was a very subtle way of improving the team in a more pronounced manner. The Phillies bullpen pitched very well after the all-star break last season, as some pitchers regressed (in the good direction) while others succeeded after being given a chance to replace dead weight. Adding Adams to that mix is exciting.

Drake University 2008 Self-Study Report
Drake University
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectDrake University--Analysis.; Education, Higher--United States--Aims and objectives.; Universities and colleges--United States--Evaluation.; Universities and colleges--Accreditation--United States.; Learning outcomes.; Academic assessment.; Curriculum assessment.; Academic self-study.
The Drake University accreditation self-study was initiated in January 2004. After becoming familiar with the new Higher Learning Commission accreditation criteria, President Maxwell and Provost Troyer determined that the self-study process could assist the University to move forward toward several of its assessment and planning goals. They appointed Sue Wright, Associate Provost and Director of Institutional Research, as Self-Study Coordinator. The Provost and Self-Study Coordinator sought agreement of individuals to serve on the Steering Committee and to chair or co-chair criterion committees. The Steering Committee membership was intended to emphasize the importance accorded to the tasks being undertaken in the self-study. Chaired by the Provost, the Steering Committee included chairs of the five Criterion Committees, the President, Vice President Business and Finance, Associate Director of Athletics, the Chief Information Officer, and Self-Study Coordinator. The Committee met for the first time in June 2004 and began to discuss the new accreditation criteria. Working with committee chairs, the Steering Committee appointed members for each of the five criterion committees. On September 10, 2004, the self-study officially kicked off with a lunch and orientation for all self-study committee members. At that event members were introduced to the process, the self-study criteria and to Drake's commitment to using the process for real self-study. Each committee was first asked to consider how examining the University using their criterion and its components could help Drake University better achieve its mission. These deliberations led to several major campus initiatives discussed in Intro7.C. During succeeding years the committees identified evidence and drafted information for the "Self-Study Report." With normal transition among chairs and members, the committees continued to meet through spring 2007 when they submitted reports to the Self-Study Coordinator. In addition to the steering and criterion committees, a publicity and promotion task force met to recommend ways to get the campus involved in the self-study process. They also considered issues such as publication of the requests for third-party comments. A logistics committee prepared for the team visit. Self-Study Committee Rosters Self-Study Committee Minutes

Paris 1919 remains John Cale's most beautiful solo album, but devalued by reedy vocals and weedy production, it would be eclipsed by the monumental Music For A New Society and Artificial Intelligence.

Football movies never work. Fortunately, this isn't a football movie. The Damned United, which has its West End premiere tonight, is a tragedy and a love story about Brian Clough, who happened to be a football manager. It's a witty, well-observed period piece in which writer Peter Morgan and actor Michael Sheen crawl convincingly under the skin of a real-life character as they did with Tony Blair in The Queen and David Frost in Frost/Nixon.

As everybody knows you cannot have PAGES and CUSTOM TYPES with the same name, otherwise you can get a 404 (error) page with pagination and other kinds of problems.
While it makes sense that WP gets troubled from having to manage 2 URLs with the same name, how limiting is the fact that there is no solution to keep a logical permalinks consistency?
For example:
You want to have a SECTION of your website called "Agenda", to hold events under that section, and therefore would like this permalinks structure:
websitename.com/agenda (index of events)
websitename.com/agenda/event-name-1 (event 1)
websitename.com/agenda/event-name-2( event 2)
… and do on.
You create a CUSTOM TYPE called "agenda", so that the events index lives under that slug (websitename.com/agenda/event-name-1).
But you also need to create a PAGE with a slug of "agenda" with a page template with a loop for the "agenda" CUTOM TYPE, in order to get "websitename.com/agenda" which is the index of events.
But WordPress tells you, you can't!
The community is aware of this limitation and the easy solution for everybody to deal with such a problem is to change either the PAGE name or the CUSTOM TYPE name, like advised everywhere:
- http://wpveda.com/solved-wordpress-custom-post-type-and-404-issue/
- http://www.wordimpressed.com/wordpress/solve-wordpress-custom-post-type-404-error-issues/
- http://modernsparkmedia.com/393/wordpress-pagination-with-custom-post-type/
- http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/04/29/custom-post-types-in-wordpress#comment-188256
But changing the CUSTOM TYPE NAME to something like "events" is not a solution, is it? Because you end up having "websitename.com/events/event-name-1" when you wanted "websitename.com/agenda/event-name-1".
So, I wonder, how come nobody seems to care about such a limitation? What if a CLIENT wants to have that kind of URL structure, with all the events under "Agenda"? How do you go and explain that he cannot, that WordPress is limited when it comes to wanted something like this?
Really, I can't believe that in the whole WordPress community nobody is facing this problem and nobody has a solution, or put it out there.

"I just wanted to say this product is spectacular. It changes a tablet from a very cool, useful product to a must have device. In academia I read over one hundred PDF files a year and give all my presentations as projected PDF files. PDF Annotator completely changes the experience of reviewing papers and responding to audience comments in presentations. Great stuff.

A British mother could get into the record books after she gave birth to twins and a single baby at the same time -- from two wombs -- in what is believed to be a world first.
Hannah Kersey, 23, gave birth to the rare triplets -- identical twins Ruby and Tilly, and singleton Gracie -- by Caesarean section seven weeks prematurely in September.
She was born with a condition called uterus didelphys, which means she developed two wombs, but doctors had warned her that she was unlikely to become pregnant in both.
Doctors say there are only 70 women in the world known to have become pregnant in two wombs, and this is the first reported case of triplets.
"This is so rare you cannot put odds on it," said Ellis Downes, consultant obstetrician at Chase Farm Hospital in London. "I have never heard of this happening anywhere ever before - it is quite amazing.
"Women with two wombs have conceived a baby in each womb before but never twins in one and a singleton in the other. It is extremely unusual."
Children watched in horror as a Santa Claus collapsed and died as he handed out presents at a Christmas party.
Andrew Robertson, 82, took ill as excited youngsters were being given their gifts.
He was taken to a side room, still dressed in a Father Christmas outfit, and attempts were made to revive him.
But when medics arrived, he was pronounced dead.
Carson Williams of Mason, Ohio lit up his house for the Christmas season in 2005 and synchronized his lights to Trans-Siberian Orchestra's song, "Wizards in Winter." The constant music and flashing of lights annoyed neighbors and backed up traffic. After a traffic accident on December 6, he decided to discontinue the show for this year.

"The heart knoweth his own bitterness" (Proverbs 14:10a).
"I can't believe it, Mom!" cried my son. "Look at this!" Walking to the flower bed where my son was standing, I looked down and shook my head. Sure enough, the noxious weed that we had been trying to eradicate was back in our flower bed again. Frustrated, I realized the problem was my fault. When we had first moved to our home several years before, I had thought this weed was a flower. Unfortunately, after watching the other flowers choked out by this weed's entwining, tubular roots, I knew I had made a mistake in letting it grow.
"OK, that's it!" I said exasperated. "Let's dig two feet down and turn over the soil and maybe we'll find all the roots to kill it this time." For the next two years, our flower garden project for homeschooling suffered, as my son and I attempted to prevent this weed from damaging any more of our tulips, irises, columbines, and other perennial flowers.
The Bible warns Christians of another root that can destroy in a far greater way — the root of bitterness. In Hebrews 12:15b, the writer says, "Lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled." As believers, we must forgive those who hurt or offend us. When we refuse to forgive, bitterness grows, intertwines itself around our Christian witness, and chokes out our joy in Christ. Our lives become sour, and we see the world through critical eyes and speak with skeptical and sarcastic remarks. Not only is the Holy Spirit grieved, but also those we touch are affected by the ugliness of bitterness.
Has bitterness taken hold in your life? Perhaps you have a family member or friend who has hurt you deeply and you've refused to forgive him. Be careful that the anger you're holding onto doesn't lead to bitterness. Why not let God uproot the pain and renew your bitter heart with a flowering heart of forgiveness and love? "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you" (Ephesians 4:30-32).
Lord, I know I need to deal with the hurt and anger I feel. Give me the strength and desire to forgive as You forgave me. Please, help me to lay the pain at Your feet to find Your peace and joy again. In Jesus' name, Amen.
"The heart knoweth his own bitterness" (Proverbs 14:10a).

SYDNEY, Australia, Dec. 14 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pharmaxis (ASX: PXS; Nasdaq: PXSL) today announced the appointment of Pulmocor SA to market and distribute its asthma diagnostic tool, Aridol in Portugal.
"Portugal was one of the 13 European countries included in the successful mutual recognition procedure earlier this year," said Pharmaxis Chief Executive Officer Dr Alan Robertson.
"Bronchial challenge testing is a common procedure in Potuguese hospitals and we have sought a distributor that already has a strong franchise in this market and will provide the best support for Aridol; we are delighted to announce our agreement with Pulmocor."
Mr Ricardo Villar, President of Pulmocor said, "Founded in 1982, Pulmocor has a strong reputation for quality and excellence among respiratory specialists and brings many years of bronchial challenge testing experience to the promotion of Aridol. Pulmocor is currently extending its activity into specialist pharmaceutical products and Aridol represents an important addition to our portfolio and our ability to service respiratory specialists."
Aridol has already been approved in Europe by the mutual recognition procedure and is now awaiting confirmation of national approval in Portugal.
A simple to use airways inflammation test, Aridol is administered as a dry powder in a hand held inhaler. Doctors can use the results of this test to identify airway hyper-responsiveness -- a hallmark of asthma.

These two talkative Aussie models, Blaire & Marigold, have their whole afternoon planned, they have a brief chat about how they like to get off and democratically decide they'll try to orgasm together...
Super sexy Marigold is a guiding force- helping to ease some of the pre-shoot butterflies for new model who's done a solo and Florist Girls with Petria and Katia but hasn't yet made the leap into this much more intimate display of herself. She needn't have worried. She's beautiful to watch. Her soft, pale skin warms to her touch, hips bucking and head flung back as she races towards the finishing line of pleasure.

"TSA took a proactive approach to the issues raised and has developed and implemented solutions ahead of the conclusion of the investigation," the TSA said in a statement in response to the ABC News report.
However other air marshals, still working undercover on flights and unable to reveal their names publicly, alleged that managers regularly scheduled themselves on flights so they could visit family or vacation spots.
In one example, the air marshals provided a photograph of a manager who arranged to fly to Brussels at Christmas time, and then jumped a fence to sit next to the Baby Jesus in a nativity crèche in the city's main square.
Former federal air marshal Theodoropoulos has had his own issues, stemming from an altercation with a bartender that led to his dismissal from the air marshals after a 20-year career in law enforcement.
He and his union say the government used a relatively minor incident as a way to get rid of a whistleblower and send a message to other air marshals to keep quiet.

Let me define what I mean. "Hooking up" is the practice of engaging in a physical connection—from kissing to sex—between two willing participants. The gender dynamics here set Duke's hookup culture apart form that of other schools.
This dating culture that I speak of is unthoughtful yet deliberate, reckless yet quite strategic, planned yet unplanned. Across all races at Duke, males indirectly enjoy superiority over their female peers. However, both sexes hook up willingly. The distinguishing factor is the double standard. Male participants glorify one another as their sexual relations increase. Women still accept them. On the contrary, both genders perceive participating women degradingly as their sexual relations increase. There is little room for empathy for the female sex. I wonder how much thought a female student puts into her actions before hooking up.
What still baffles me is how we, as educated and progressive Duke students, both complain about and readily engage in the culture. We even critique the next person for doing the same thing we did the night before. I must say I'm guilty, and you as the reader are too. So what's the million-dollar explanation? Can't call it love, can't call it lust. As one who has engaged in the hookup culture myself, I attribute Duke's hookup culture to a combination of opportunity, boredom, and a lowering of standards—the perfect storm.
I attribute opportunity to be a key element because many of the sexual advances made here are a matter of opportunity. Rarely do I see someone put a significant amount of effort or time into creating a relationship with one particular person. If the desired person is not available or willing, then the instigator will quickly move on to the next.
Boredom is the next ingredient on my list. Rarely will Duke students look to the outside community (Durham or surrounding schools) for relationship partners. This is why sexual partners overlap in the same social circles. But can you blame students? Opportunity is opportunity.
Lastly, Duke students significantly lower their standards as a result of being on this campus. Do I personally like Duke's hookup culture? That's not the question. It's there for me to engage in or refuse to engage in. This poisonous concoction that is Duke's hookup culture leads to great dissatisfaction for both participating men and women. I myself have learned to deal with it. Until we as Duke students mature and use a bit of common sense, this hookup culture is here to stay.

Google paid less than the previously reported $1.1 billion for the Israeli navigation app Waze.
The purchase price came in at $966 million in cash, Waze reported July 25 in its financial report for the second quarter of 2013, the Israeli business daily Globes reported. The purchase was completed six weeks ago.
Waze is a free downloadable navigation app with nearly 50 million subscribers.
Prior talks between Waze and the social networking site Facebook reportedly had broken down over Waze's insistence that the company's managers and employees remain in their Israeli headquarters in Raanana rather than relocating to Menlo Park, Calif.

Messages from the heart
Twelve-year-old Irene Soto knew exactly the Valentine's Day message she wanted to send to Sailors away from home in February.
"I want them to know we appreciate what they're doing for us," she said.
Maria Roque, Irene's seventh-grade classmate at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard, agreed.
"This will make our troops happy," the 12-year-old said as she wrote, "Thank you for all you do and Happy Valentine's Day" on a heart-shaped piece of pink construction paper.
E.O. Green students had the option of making "Valentin-O-Grams" during their lunch period Wednesday, Feb. 5. The Military Teens Club — a project of the Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC) at Naval Base Ventura County — supplied paper, markers and lots of glittery stickers at a table set up in the school's quad.
Teenagers who live on base took those valentines and ones made by students at Pierpont Elementary School in Ventura — about 500 in all — to the two Liberty Centers on base Saturday, Feb. 8, in plenty of time to reach Sailors who are apart from their loved ones on Valentine's Day.
"Every time we do this, my heart sings," said Lori Steinhauer, a clinical counselor with the FFSC and the coordinator of the Military Teens Club at E.O. Green, one of half a dozen schools near the base that host a club for children of military-connected families.
Steinhauer said she enjoys seeing the admiration and appreciation the children show today's military personnel through their valentines.
E.O. Green Principal Heidi Haines said the lessons taught in the school quad that day transcend the classroom.
"As a former Navy brat, I remember how hard deployments were, how difficult it was to have Dad away at the holidays," she said. "This is a simple and easy way to give back to the people serving our country. It's a morale-builder for kids whose parents serve, and it promotes our school spirit."

Customer Reviews of Sunpak RD2000N Digital Flash for Nikon DSLR Cameras
very good flash8/30/2011
good fill flash to slip in pocket. similar to a sb 400 just smaller. great flash for macro with a off camera cord.i have other larger flashes but use this most of the time.for the price it is a no brainer.buy a off camera cord with it and play around with where the flash comes from.
Inexpensive Alternative8/30/2011
Good flash for fraction of Nikon flash price. Functions well with Nikon d3100. One minor irritation is that in 'Auto' mode if flash is needed and the Sunpak is not turned on then the built-in flash pops half open and cannot be closed unless you remove the Sunpak first from the mount.
overall a good buy8/30/2011
overall a good buy.....! i wanted to get something small and very portable but i did not want to shell out the kinda money that nikon is asking for their sb400 (the nikon was 125 bux at the time of my purchase). this is a good alternative to the sb400 for a fraction of the price so i went for it. the only complaint i have is that it eats up those reg alkaline batteries like nothing. the recycling time is not as i expected even with fresh batteries (alkaline or ni-mh rechargeables). i have yet to try the lithium e2 energizer batteries perhaps those will do a better job at it. but as i said before its overall a good buy.
