Product description
In this definitive book of the mummy and the Egyptian way of death, Christine El Mahdy reveals how to practice of mummification arose, how it was perfected, and how it came to play a central part in the ancient Egyptian quest for eternal life. In medieval times mummies were crushed to become aphrodisiacs; a hundred years ago the "unwrapping of a mummy from Egypt" was billed as an entertainment; and the twentieth century has created its own superstition in the fabled "Curse of the Pharaohs." Yet the present century has also witnessed the birth of the first truly scientific studies of mummies, culminating in the major projects currently under way all round the world. "Mummies, Myth and Magic" gives for the first time a full account of the work in progress in Europe and the United States to discover from mummies how the ancient Egyptians lived - what they ate, the illnesses they suffered from, the medical techniques available to help them and how they died. Controversial issues such as the rehydrating of tissues and the attempt to clone cells from long-dead pharaohs are also addressed. Featuring specially commissioned diagrams of tombs and royal burial chambers, and a Factfile listing mummies held by major international museums and institutions, this is the most comprehensive volume yet produced on an eternally fascinating subject.

Incredible Gem 1915-S Panama-Pacific Octagonal Fifty Dollar Gold1915-S $50 Panama-Pacific 50 Dollar Octagonal MS65 NGC. In 1907, the stunning High Relief Saint-Gaudens double eagles made their appearance, an event that saw the first (and only) use of Roman numerals for the date on an American coin intended for circulation. Use of Roman numerals in that fashion has been sporadic in the century since. In 1986, the American Eagle gold bullion series saw a reprise of the system, likely a deliberate homage to the High Relief Saint-Gaudens design (by contrast, the silver American Eagles have used Arabic numerals since the start). This lasted until 1992, when the four sizes of gold American Eagle changed to the standard four-digit system. Only two other American issues, gold like the rest, display their dates differently, MCMXV instead of 1915. These are the Panama-Pacific fifty dollar gold pieces, round and octagonal formats.
The octagonal fifties were popular at the time, though the $100 price meant that their popularity translated into few actual sales. Only 645 pieces found buyers, with the rest of the original mintage of 1,500 pieces consigned to the melting pot. Still, later collectors maintained their enthusiasm for the gargantuan gold coins. Part of the challenge was in finding an unimpaired representative, as many examples were kept as pocket pieces, cleaned, polished, or otherwise ill-treated by the non-numismatists who made up a significant proportion of the buyers, as noted by Bowers in 1991.
This impressively well-preserved example offers no such cause for concern. The peach-tinged yellow-orange surfaces display smooth, subtle luster beneath a hint of haze. The piece is well-defined aside from a touch of softness on the highpoints of the owl, though this appears on most Mint State examples. The surfaces are surprisingly clean, with only a handful of light marks on the portrait and a single nick above the owl's right (facing) talon, none of which jeopardize the grade. Outstanding and eminently appealing. The NGC Census Report lists 40 Gems and nine coins finer, though resubmissions render these numbers inaccurate (4/07).(Registry values: P7) (NGC ID# 26HN, PCGS# 7452)

In this edition of attractive people in bikinis on yachts, we've got iconic model Elle Macpherson and her boyfriend Roger Jenkins.
Elle was rocking a white bikini, cowboy hat, and tons of bathing bling and at 49-years-old, rivals the Stacy Keibler's of the world for hottest super tall blondes.
Elle and boyfriend Roger are in Ibiza on vacation. They were cruising the seas with another couple, or assistants, it's difficult to tell.
Elle and boyfriend later had lunch on Formentera Island. At one point, Elle even waved at the paparazzi. Hey, at least she's a good sport about being spied on.
Later, the couple trekked through the crowded beaches. Elle carried her knapsack close to her side and Roger stayed covered up in a long sleeved tee and a hat.
Elle rose to fame in the 1980's as the only model to make five appearances on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She was also once nicknamed "The Body" in a Time magazine article and just ran with it. In the late '80s she was grouped together with Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss as the new generation of supermodels.
Elle recently made her return to the spotlight last year when she hosted and executive produced NBC's designer-discovery show "Fashion Star." She recently announced she was stepping down from her host position for Season 2 of the series.
But what really matters here is that Elle is 49, rocking a white bikini and a body that probably wins for "Best in Hollywood." I guess they call her "The Body" for a reason.

Blackboard survey
Blackboard is an electronic course management tool that enables faculty and students to communicate and collaborate online through real-time chat forums, asynchronous discussion boards, e-mail, and online file exchanges. The software also features an online grade book and survey/quizzing tool.
With Blackboard's Survey Manager, you can create non-graded course evaluations or instructional assessments. Although a survey response is not linked to a specific student, surveys are not strictly anonymous because instructors can view a record showing which students have completed them.
Suggested uses of Blackboard surveys:
- Adjusting instructional practices during the semester.
- Gathering anonymous feedback about instructor performance and/or course organization.
- Gaining insight into student attitudes about course content and assignments, and student satisfaction with quizzes, exams, and the course in general.
- Determining what and how students are learning.
- Assessing changes in instructional practice, especially when used as part of a single-group experiment .
- Measuring the effects of an instructional activity or innovation when used as part of a single-group experiment .
- Well-suited to courses already using Blackboard.
- Works especially well for large classes.
Limitations of Blackboard surveys:
- Respondents must have UT EID and be enrolled in the course.
- Not suitable for assessing individual student performance.
- Requires having clear assessment goals and an understanding of assessment practices in order to write effective questions and properly organize the survey.
- Electronic surveys generally have lower response rates than paper surveys.
Resource requirements
A moderate level of knowledge about instrument design and writing survey questions is required unless you are using previously validated questions or survey instruments. Also, training or experience in using Blackboard is recommended. Students must have access to computers as well as to the course Blackboard site. [more]
Plan your Blackboard survey
STEP 1. Describe the context
Include the age, majors, educational background, motivation level, and skill levels of students. Also consider central goals of the course, your ability to implement changes, and how the instructional setting impacts your course. A worksheet is available to help you document your instructional context.
STEP 2. Identify stakeholder needs and develop central questions
Identify what is most essential for students, your needs, and any organizational priorities that impact your course or program. Central questions , informed by these needs, specify what you want to learn through an assessment. For example, "Are students effectively using online technology in my course?" A worksheet is available to help you identify stakeholder needs and develop central questions.
STEP 3. Determine the purpose of the survey
A survey should have a clear purpose and focus. Avoid the temptation of asking too many questions in a single survey or surveying students "just to see what's going on." Using your central questions as a guide, specify how your survey will help you gain insight, change course practices, or measure the effects of a change you have implemented. A worksheet is available to help you develop and refine your study's purposes.
STEP 4. Determine how you will use the results
How you intend to use results should also guide the content of your survey. If you will not use responses to a survey question to guide course or program content or instruction, leave the question out. A worksheet is available to help exemplify how to use results after determining the purpose of a study.
STEP 5. Develop your assessment plan
Decide at what point in your course you will survey your students and schedule it into your course schedule. If you gather information using other assessment methods, be sure to include them in your plan and schedule them at different times. Refer to the assessment planning process for additional help in developing your plan. Once your plan is made, begin creating your survey.
Create the survey
Selecting Tutorials, then Using the Assessment Tool under For Instructors and TA´s, and then Creating a Survey connects you to step-by-step instructions on how to create a survey.
Writing survey questions
Writing good survey questions is crucial to achieve the survey objectives and obtain valid responses. Rewrite questions until they are clear and succinct. [more]
Determine question type
The information you want to obtain and how you plan to use it should dictate the question type or response scale you choose.
[more about question types]
[more response scales]
[more about Blackboard surveys]
Organize and format the survey
An improperly formatted survey may confuse students and lead them to skip questions or not complete the survey at all. Limit your survey to 20 questions maximum so it does not become tedious. [more]
Editing the survey
Once you have created a survey, you can edit it by clicking on Survey Manager and selecting the Modify button. You can edit the text of a question or remove the question, but you cannot change the question type unless you write a new question.

Well, I guess you won't see this until tomorrow, but I do have to say that I actually enjoyed Baldur's Gate. I even read a good many of the books in the game.
The primary thing I didn't enjoy about the reading in NOLF2 was the fact that you had to do run around reading things to complete some inane quest. Besides that, I feel that such things have little place in a FPS, let alone for such a silly reason.
I guess I'm just the kind of person that feels everything has its place. Reading should be left to RPG's, while FPS games should focus on action and immersion. With the NOLF2 demo, I really felt like the little errands you have to run in the ninja level just made absolutely no sense. I suppose that's my biggest complaint. Not that I had to read, but that it was stupid that I had to read.

AC/DC Electrifies New Orleans
I honestly thought the day would never come when I would see the legendary AC/DC in person. They haven't been my way in years. But, like a message from God (or Satan), I received the news that indeed the duck-walking schoolboy would be visiting my town. My worn-out copy of AC/DC Live at Donington gave me high hopes of an incredible show that I prayed (to Satan) the aging men could still pull off. They not only equaled the spectacle, but far exceeded it, and it was one of the most energetic, loud and stunning shows I've ever seen. More...
AC/DC Cancels Next Six Tour Dates
AC/DC has announced that they will be canceling the next six shows of their Black Ice world tour. Vocalist Brian Johnson issued the following statement about the cancellations:
"It's an inside job that forced me to reschedule those upcoming 6 shows! Inside being the operative word here. My insides were giving me lots of trouble, ulcers and such. They were really uncomfortable and painful, which required me to seek immediate medical attention. The doctor's looked me over, pocked, scanned and prodded all possible areas. In the end they gave me a clean bill of health, but insisted that I take a bit of time to recuperate and rest up. We've been touring non stop since this time last year and have a lot more touring to do. Thanks for all of the get well wishes and i hope to see you all again very soon."
AC/DC Announces "Backtracks" Details
AC/DC has issued the following announcement about releasing a box set titled "Backtracks:"
"The Ultimate 3CD/2DVD/1LP Rarities Box Set!

Anvil Readies Re-Release of "This Is Thirteen"
Certainly one of the most feel-good rock n' roll comeback stories of recent times is that of Canadian heavy metal band Anvil. The band, considered a major influence for a generation of hard rockers including Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Guns N' Roses, was the subject of a critically acclaimed, must-see rock-doc, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil," directed by Sacha Gervasi. And in the process, the film has made the group (led by singer/guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner - both founding members) a household name. But the group's story will certainly not end with the film.
First up for Anvil are U.S. shows opening for Aussie rock legends AC/DC - in football stadiums. "We're really excited about these shows, we've only heard awesome things about playing in football stadiums. I was with the Green Day guys last night, and they were telling me, 'Man, it's probably going to be the gig of your life'!"
And then on September 15, "This is Thirteen" will finally see proper national distribution on CD and vinyl via VH1 Classic Records. The CD will feature the newly recorded, never-before released bonus track "Thumb Hang." The collectible double vinyl LP boasts newly re-recorded versions of Anvil classics "Metal on Metal" and "666." The album, originally recorded in 2007 and produced by Chris Tsangarides (Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy), was primarily available directly from the band via their website and at their concerts.
"'This is Thirteen' is more like our first three albums," says Lips, "which represent our real identity. For many of our albums, we went on an 'integrity hunt' instead of on a 'commercial/radio hunt,' so we became extremely inaccessible to radio. This time, we stepped back and said, 'What were we originally?' And we rediscovered ourselves, I suppose." Reiner adds, "There are three tracks that in my opinion, are definitely, 100% AOR/hard rock/commercial radio tracks - 'American Refuge,' 'Flying Blind,' and 'Feed the Greed.' Catchy melodies, incredible drum feels - they just all rock." More...
AC/DC Announces Two More U.S. Tour Dates

ND 13372-01 Disaster Assistance Available for North Dakota Small Businesses
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Small, nonfarm businesses in four North Dakota counties and neighboring counties in South Dakota are now eligible to apply for low interest federal disaster loans from the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA). "These loans offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by the drought that occurred from September 4 through October 29, 2012, in the following primary county," announced Alfred E. Judd, Director of SBA's Disaster Field Operations Center-West.
Primary North Dakota county: Sargent;
Neighboring North Dakota counties: Dickey, Ransom, and Richland;
Neighboring South Dakota counties: Brown, Marshall, and Roberts.
"SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster," Judd said.
Small, nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private, nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred.
"Eligibility for these loans is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. These loans have an interest rate of 4% for businesses and 3% for private, nonprofit organizations, a maximum term of 30 years, and are available to small businesses and most private, nonprofits without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship," Judd said.
By law, SBA makes EIDLs available when the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. Secretary Tom Vilsack declared this disaster on November 1, 2012.
Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency (FSA) about the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) assistance made available by the Secretary's declaration. However, in drought disasters nurseries are eligible for SBA disaster assistance.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA's secure Web site at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
Disaster loan information and application forms are also available from SBA's Customer Service Center by calling SBA toll-free at (800) 659-2955, emailing firstname.lastname@example.com, or visiting SBA's Web site at www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance. Individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing may call (800) 877 8339.
The deadline to apply for these loans is July 1, 2013.

Case for Crochet Hooks
By: Melissa Langer for Pug Notes
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Use this fee, easy sewing pattern from Melissa Langer to make a unique case for your crochet hooks. This is the perfect craft for a sewer/crocheter, or a gift from a sewer to a crocheter.
- 1 piece of craft felt or felted wool sweater : 10.5 x 12"
- 1 piece of cotton fabric for the lining : 11.5 x 13"
- 1 piece of cotton fabric for the pocket : 7 x 13"
- 1 piece of ribbon to tie your roll: approx 16"
- Iron
- Sewing Machine
- Pins
- Press your cotton fabrics with your iron.
- Iron a 1/2" hem all around each piece so that they now measure 10.5 x 12 and 6 x 12 repectively.
- Take the 6 x 12" piece that will be your pocket and sew across the top hem to secure it in place before we piece the whole project together.
- Lay your 10.5 x 12" piece of felt (wrong side up) and place your lining fabric (right side up) on top of it.
- Place your pocket piece 6 x 12" (right side up with the sewn hem at the top) on the lining piece.
- Line your pocket up at the bottom half of your project so that about 4" of your lining piece shows at the top. The 4" top area will flap down over your hooks when you roll your case up.
- Pin all 3 pieces together like a fabric sandwich.
- Sew around the whole rectangle with fabric side up securing all 3 pieces together.
- Measure 3.5" from the top of your case and sew a horizontal line across. (This marks the flap and where you will begin sewing your pockets for your hooks in the next step.
- Starting at the left side of the rectangle, mark 8 or 9 pockets that are 3/4" wide from the flap line down to the bottom of the pocket and sew down each mark to form the hook pockets. There will be one larger pocket on the right side to hold your embroidery scissors, and anything else you would like to put there.
- Flip your case over and sew your ribbon about 2/3 of the way down your case so that when you fold your flap over the hooks, it will actually look like it is tied in the middle of the case.

I made one of these 30 years ago , made up my own pattern. Mine is in the form of a book with flaps connected to the top of page (so the hooks wont fall out) and a tie on the side to keep it closed, made it out of upholstery material so it has held up well all these years.

A great project. I did the same thing two years ago but I used placemats I purchased around Christmas at Target. I got the placemats that looked like velvet. I made my "pockets" in several sizes as I use regular crochet hooks and those which are lighted and bigger and wider. I store a small pair of scissors in the larger pocket. I attached ribbon to close and beads on the ends of the ribbons for a little bling. Made two as gifts that year and kept one for myself.

It's a good pattern to use for several uses whether it be for crochet hooks, pieces of silverware or pencils.

I did a quick search for a pencil holder, similar to this case for crochet hooks. The bad news is that I didn't find one. The good news is, it would be easy to adapt this very case to that purpose... a little thought and some pencils and paper to use for a mockup will give you the materials you'd need to figure out what changes to make. You might not want the pencil pockets to be as deep because pencils do get shortened as they're used. You might want an even shallower pocket for erasers, which would need to have a cover flap to keep the erasers in the pocket while traveling. A piece of velcro would keep that eraser pocket closed until you need the erasers...

I just want to know if this is normal. This was agfter a huge meal too. To give you a better idea during this bulk I've went from 150ish to about 172 as of today. So alot of gains minimal fat gains too. Very pleased. Of course eating myself sick sucks but its one of those nessacary evils.

Crisis averted! Earlier this week, Ariana Grande was ordered by her doctors to go on vocal rest after suffering from a hemorrhaged vocal cord. Now, the 20-year-old chart-topper wants her fans to know that she's feeling just fine.
"Everybody on Instagram telling me to feel better, I thank you so much for the well wishes, but I'm actually completely fine. My voice is healthy. I'm talking right now," she said in the short video message posted on her Instagram. "I just lost my voice at my party for my album, but I'm completely fine now. Thank you!"
And, the recovering Grande was already trying to make some plans for the weekend, floating around some potential ideas to her 9 million-plus Twitter followers Friday. She wrote, "It's Friday the 13th I wanna go some place haunted tonight."

It's been a big week for the "Sam & Cat" star, who is still celebrating the success of her chart-topping debut album, Yours Truly. She thanked her fans earlier this week, "My 1st album has debuted at #1 & I can't even begin to express my gratitude. Thank you for supporting my music, this really means the world."

The album's success had already generated a lot of buzz, and on Monday night, the singer was joined by her "The Way" contributor Mac Miller and "Right There" partner Big Sean when she closed out her Listening Sessions tour in L.A.

- Ground: Skilled Park
Australia v Argentina - Live
80 Full-time at Skilled Park. 23-19 to Australia in what is a heartbreaking loss for Argentina. Once again though they have shown themselves to be worthy of being in this competition. Congratulations to Australia who move above the Boks in the standings.
79 BEALE PENALTY! 23-19! A fine long-range kick as Australia put themselves more than a penalty ahead with seconds to go. Argentina ball 30 metres out..
76 Another chance goes their way as once again Hernandez finds a superb touch. However, Creevy's throw is crooked and that chance is now gone. Three minutes left now with Australia throwing in just inside their half. Argentina need some magic from El Mago.
74 They do not as hungry defence from the Wallabies forces the Pumas backwards before they're penalised at a ruck for holding on. Fine defence from the hosts.
72 Speaking of excellent, Hernandez has just sent a penalty into the Australian corner. Will they have the patience and skill to force a penalty here?
70 BARNES CONVERSION! 20-19! Excellent kick.
69 IOANE TRY! 18-19! Massive moment. Phipps has redeemed himself by breaking the line on the left wing and feeding his wing, who goes over about ten metres in from the touchline. Up steps Barnes (with cramp) for a conversion that would put them ahead.
67 Nick Phipps what are you doing? Australia were awarded a free-kick after Argentina had offended at the line-out and the Melbourne Rebels scrum-half proceeded to kick the ball out on the full. The term 'coach killer' comes to mind...thirteen minutes left.
65 What a welcome sound to Puma ears. Barnes blows his whistle against the Wallaby front-row for wheeling the scrum so Hernandez claims much-needed territory.
61 BARNES CONVERSION! 13-19! Simple enough.
60 MCCABE TRY! 11-19! It's not over yet. Sustained pressure led to numbers on the right and this QC found his man, a charging McCabe close to the posts.
59 Where do Australia go from here? Sharpe is down injured so they are missing another captain while Argentina are full of gusto and chatter as you might expect.
57 HERNANDEZ PENALTY! 6-19! Make that thirteen points.
56 Like London buses, this game has seen two tries in as many minutes. Ten points is now the lead ahead of what should be a fantastic final 25 minutes.
52 CABELLO TRY! 6-16! Yes, you are reading this right. Imhoff broke down the right wing and then put the ball back inside to his flanker. Unbelievable stuff.
51 Conversion missed by Hernandez.
50 LEONARDI TRY! 6-11! What a moment. Cooper is charged down and replacement Tomas Leonardi is the man who reacts first to ground over the whitewash.
49 BARNES PENALTY! 6-6! The Pumas eventually offend.
48 Now then, this is much better from Australia as Hooper shows his pace down the left wing. They are in the opposition 22 with Kane Douglas stretching his legs to take his side to within five. Is this the moment the Wallabies put themselves in the driving seat?
46 Australia are shooting themselves in the foot here with handling errors but do receive a get out of jail card when Argentina fail to release the tackled player.
44 Mistakes have hampered this game in all honesty as Phipps puts in on his own ten-metre. And the trend continues as Cooper throws a shocking pass to no one which leads to Argentina motoring to within five metres of the line. A try here would be huge.
Second-half Welcome back. Australia are in possession early on before Barnes kicks long to Amorosino, who again returns well into opposition territory.
40 Half-time at Skilled Park and Argentina lead 6-3. They haven't won on Australian soil since 1983...is that about to change? Stay with us for the second-half.
39 Argentina aren't giving Australia an inch at the breakdown as they continue to absorb these attacks. Camacho is off injured and replaced by Juan Imhoff.
38 Unbelievable guts and character from the Pumas as they disrupt that attacking scrum and force a penalty in the resulting play. What relief for Santiago Phelan as his side gets a little bit of breathing space for these last two minutes. Will they hold on?
36 They have some defending to do before the break and it could prove too much for the Pumas! Cooper puts in a well-timed pass into the hands of captain Sharpe, who gets over the line but is held up by Camacho. Great defence from the wing. Five-metre scrum.
33 Things have slowed down on the Gold Coast as one senses Argentina will be quite happy for half-time to come with this slender scoreline in their favour.
31 Kurtley Beale and James Slipper are on for Benn Robinson and Dom Shipperley - it's unclear whether that's for the duration. Australian scrum bang on halfway.
29 HERNANDEZ PENALTY! 3-6! Nightmare stuff for Cooper again as he fumbles the ball when going back to gather a clever grubber. That led to a Wallaby picking up the ball from an offside position, meaning Hernandez made them pay via the tee.
26 BARNES PENALTY! 3-3! The pressure is mounting on Argentina right now and they have a penalty advantage in their pocket..which eventually is blown for by Wayne Barnes. This time Berrick Barnes is successful to tie things up on the Gold Coast.
22 What about this? Great running from Ioane and Adam Ashley-Cooper sees them create space on the left wing, which was where it went to a waiting Radike Samo. He was over the line but lost the ball before grounding! Chance blown..how costly will that be?
19 Frustration for Cooper here as he takes his eye off the ball and spills it. Net result, a Pumas scrum on their own ten-metre. It's been an absorbing first 20 minutes.
17 There is a lot of Australian ball against solid Argentinean defence right now until Digby Ioane looks to make inroads off his wing. It leads to a penalty too as the Pumas tackler fails to release the player on the ground. Here is Barnes again...off the post!
13 Hernandez misses the resulting penalty to the left. Tough one.
12 MCCABE YELLOW! Still the Wallabies knock on the door though until Camacho intercepts and races downfield from his own 22! Is he going to have the pace to go all the way. Halfway, ten-metre, 22..he is brought down by centre McCabe, who then offends at the breakdown and ultimately earns himself a yellow card from Wayne Barnes.
8 But it backfires as Gonzalo Camacho gets isolated and then spills the ball forward in contact. That led to Rodrigo Roncero trying his best not to touch the ball from an offside position..but he couldn't resist. Up steps Berrick Barnes from distance..of the post.
5 So the early lead is with the Pumas but the Wallabies are looking to strike back as they attack from halfway. Quade Cooper looks up and puts one in behind the visiting defence, which full-back Amorosino replies to with a superb kick! Pumas ball here.
3 HERNANDEZ PENALTY! 0-3! Reward for their efforts.
Kick-off Here we go with Argentina attacking early on.
Team news Pat McCabe and Nick Phipps are in for Kurtley Beale and Will Genia while Kane Douglas replaces Sitaleki Timani. Argentina have made two changes as Lucas Amorosino and Martin Landajo start. The anthems and then kick-off is fast approaching.
Welcome Hello from Skilled Park as the Wallabies host the Pumas in what should be an epic game. We're all excited about this one so stay tuned for team news!

"I am so delighted by how my birth announcements turned out!!! I picked the elephant design as elephants are way cute ;) The lettering and font sizes look perfect and I love the lettering colors. The three photos arrangement was what I was looking for. I have hundreds of photos I've been adding to my online album each day. It was so easy to upload some top choices to my tiny prints account instantly. From there, I easily played around with dragging my photos into various arrangements. It was great to be able to save each project and make a decision on the best one. I made the right choice, as my announcements look so professional and sweet! All from photos snapped in the moment on my cell phone! No special baby photo session needed, all DIY by me & my husband :)"
"This product is adorable in real life. The design is modern and girly. The paper and photo quality is excellent. It was also very easy to make. I chose to make my photos black and white, which looked awesome with this particular card. Everyone I sent this card to loved it!"
"I have ordered this card twice, once for both of my girls. These cards are beautifully designed and give you the option for multiple pictures, easy to read information and even a quote you can change on the bottom. The cards have a nice sturdy paperweight and the photos are printed beautifully. I would recommend these cards."
"This product is above satisfactory! The paper quality is excellent and the pictures printed beautifully on this paper. I would order these again and was very happy with how quickly they arrived in the mail as well."
"Love these announcements! I've had many compliments on them, especially the paper quality as well as the picture quality. They arrived very quickly as well. I would definitely order these again."

As for the west side, an arcade would probably push some shop storage out, but still provide CM access without disrupting guests. The west side doesn't have attraction or restaurant issues that the east side does.
This wouldn't be a permanent walkway. The west would still only be used during parades and fireworks as necessary.
this is ridiculous!!! i cant believe that the budget was cut for ROA!!! why can't they just focus some of their attention of things that make disney what it is, like great story-telling and animatronics for a more immersive experience?! first we get tugged along about the hatbox ghost, and now this!! and i dont get why nobody seems to care!?!? this entire thread has been talking about back walkways from the penny arcade!! at least we're not talking for pages about the construction of the new stroller rental place like we were on the last project tracker. i wanted to see wildlife, i wanted to see more of an "attraction" out of the river, not the depleted and empty diorama its been for the last 10 years. without the show upgrades to the scenic areas, the mark twain will never be as big of a draw as it once was. every time i'm at the park, i see maybe 30 people on the boat per trip, and if they were to fill the boat then that would be a HUGE boost to the "ride per capita" or whatever the term they use for guests doing something. sorry if i sound angry, but i just hate seeing them cut budgets on the ingenuity and creative aspects of the park, just so they can do things like remodel the hamburger restaurant in tomorrowland.
Don't overreact to rumors of budgets being cut. Remember, they're just rumors.
The only people who are guilty of stringing along about the Hatbox ghost are those who took online rumors for fact. Disney never said a thing about it.
Also, food location maintenance and attraction refurbishments are part of separate budgets.

I worked at Disneyland Anaheim from 2005 - 2007 but have been going to the park since i was born and my family has been working at the park since 1963 when the Tahitian Terrace opened.
When the park first opened up the shops were all seperated... however the space that is the Magic shop was originally Wonderland Music, sold the sheet music for Wurlitzer which is now Disney Showcase. The current Disneyana shop took over the Yale lock shop and "Rings and Things", the back section of which was seperate as it was part of the Market House... the hexagon shaped room was actually designed to be the Cake room for Swift when it sponsored the Market House and housed a large birthday cake for the company's Anniversary.
Known in most other circles as "HauntedOne999"
"There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow!"
Disneyland CM Dec. 2005 - May 2007
the last pages have been discussing other possible additions to the park one which would be a much more signifcant addition than a couple extra moose around the river. Its not just about walkways from the penny arcade. As a matter of fact no one has mentioned the penny arcade. Everyone has been discussing an "Arcade" -
so the discussion is very relevant to the thread. I don't think over reacting over a possible upgrade figures on the ROA is necessary.
- passageway with arches: a passageway or building with a series of arches and supporting columns
- avenue of stores: a covered passage with stores on both sides
you also have to consider that many times the reason the boats only have 30 or so people like you mention is because they do not stay docked long. The boat does not stay docked long especially when both of the bpats are running. One needs to move out of the way before the other one comes back to dock. most guest usually do not even get into the queue area unless they see the boat in dock or coming close to dock

Looking at either one for my G3. I'm going to put an older style 1" scope on it and have narrowed it down to either of these as the best selection in that price range - I really don't want to spend nearly $200 on rings.
I really like the Warne design as it just seems like it could take more recoil and abuse. Wondering if anyone has had good luck with either?
Here are the Warne:

Classical Music For A Modern World
By Seth Colter Walls, Contributor
Sure, we play Bach, Beethoven and Mozart -- though we also dig the early music of Tallis, chance works by Cage, arias from Verdi and John Adams, as well as the composers on New Amsterdam records. Everything here was released after 2008, too, which is another way of declaring that notes written down on paper are still some of the most exciting ones to hear in all of contemporary music. more »

A number of high-profile 2014 awards hopefuls -- and an eclectic group of Hollywood stars -- will make their way to the Cannes Film Festival this year, joining the annual parade of global auteurs.
Bennett Miller's fact-based wrestling tale "Foxcatcher," David Cronenberg's inside-Hollywood story "Maps to the Stars" and the Tommy Lee Jones frontier-drama "The Homesman" will all world-premiere in the coveted competition section, while Ryan Gosling directorial debut "Lost River" (formerly titled "How to Catch a Monster") will debut in the Un Certain Regard section.
That means the list of celebs making their way to the world's most prestigious movie gathering next month will include Steve Carell and Channing Tatum ("Foxcatcher" ) Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska ("Maps," with the former also appearing in David Michod's midnight selection "The Rover"), Hilary Swank and Meryl Streep ("Homesman") and Christina Hendricks and Eva Mendes ("River").
PHOTOS: Cannes Film Festival 2013
They join Kristen Stewart and Chloe Grace Moretz, who star in French auteur Olivier Assayas' Europe-set actor drama "Sils Maria" and Ryan Reynolds and Rosario Dawson, who play in Aton Egoyan's new thriller "The Captive," both in competition.
Meanwhile, DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon 2" will premiere in an out-of-competition slot, using the fest as a marketing catapult ahead of its June 13 release date in the U.S. and global rollout in the same period. Also premiering out of competition is Chinese super-director and Fifth Generation mainstay Zhang Yimou, whose "Coming Home," a relationship drama starring Gong Li, will also play in one of those slots.
Kicking off this year on May 14 with Nicole Kidman's Grace Kelly film "Grace of Monaco" directed by Olivier Dahan, the Cannes Film Festival is both a bellwether for the state of U.S. and global cinema and a key launching pad for movies with Oscar and other ambitions, layering a veneer of credibility on — and a bright target on the back of — pretty much any film that premieres there.
In past years Cannes has been an invaluable tool for awards campaigns, boosting movies such as "Nebraska" and "Blue Is The Warmest Color" last year and vaulting "The Artist" all the way to the Oscar best-picture podium three years ago.
This year, "Foxcatcher," "Homesman," "River" and "Grace of Monaco" will all look to establish themselves as awards contenders, with "Foxcatcher," "Monaco" and "River" set for release from Sony Pictures Classics, Weinstein Co. and Warner Bros., respectively, and "Homesman" the wild card seeking distribution and a head of steam coming out of the festival.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
"Foxcatcher" has had an unusual journey, moving out of the 2013 awards race while Miller, who has been a juggernaut with previous movies "Moneyball" and "Capote," continued to work on the cut. (In that regard it follows festival opener "Grace of Monaco," the Nicole Kidman-starring Grace Kelly pic, which had been slated for a fall release as well before being postponed as the film went through an arduous editing process.)
"Foxcatcher," which tells of the notorious incident involving John du Pont's murder of the Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz in the mid-1990s, stars Carell as du Pont, Mark Ruffalo as Dave Schultz and Tatum as Mark Schultz, Dave's brother and author of a memoir about the affair.
At a Paris press conference announcing the selections, festival director Thierry Fremaux said the opportunity to see actors reinvent themselves was part of the pleasure of the film, and urged filmgoers to try to avoid learning about the actors and their preparation before seeing the movie.
"Homesman," meanwhile, sees Jones make a move back to directing nine years after his well-received "The Three Burials of Melique Estrada" premiered at Cannes. Based on a novel from Glendon Swarthout, the new movie centers on a claim jumper played by Jones who must help a pioneer (Swank) get several women across Nebraska; Streep stars as a minister's wife to whom the women must be brought. "It's a Western — not a Western with cavalry and Indians but it tells a little about the conquest of the West," Fremaux said, adding that the movie suggests s Jones' "determination as a filmmaker to represent the existence of a certain kind of classic filmmaking."
This year's festival also marks the return to competition of French icon Jean-Luc Godard, who will debut the 3-D (!) picture "Goodbye to Language." Godard joins the usually robust list of French or French-language films, will also includes "The Search," the follow up from "The Artist" director Michel Hazavanicius, and Belgian Bros. the Dardennes' "Two Days, One Night" starring Marion Cotillard.
Other notable global entries in competition include the three-hour epic from Turkish helmer Nuri Bilge Ceylan, "Winter Sleep," the Russian Cannes returnee Andres Zvayagintsev's "Leviathan" and Mauritanian director Abderrahmane Sissako's "Timbuktu," one of several African entries in the official selection. (The competition jury will be led by Australian filmmaker Jane Campion; the remaining members will be announced next week.)
Other longtime English-language Cannes mainstays making the competition cut include Mike Leigh,, premiering his art biopic "Mr. Turner" that stars Timothy Spall as JMW Turner, and Ken Loach, whose new movie "Jimmy Hall" centers on a 1930s Irish activist.
At the other end of the spectrum, this will mark the first time Canadian wunderkind Xavier Dolan will be in competition, as the 25-year-old brings his new movie "Mommy" to the festival. Dolan, whose previous work such as "Laurence Anyways" has landed in other sections, has been vocal about not being accepted to competition before. Fremaux said his lamenting was not a factor in his acceptance, though the festival was aware of his displeasure. Fremaux did note that if Dolan "keeps going at this pace in 20 years he'll have made 20 films."
(Competition hopefuls not present at the festival are Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu's Broadway drama "Birdman," Paul Thomas Anderson's 1970s crime tale "Inherent Vice" and Jon Stewart's directorial debut, "Rosewater." Terrence Malick's Christian Bale drama "Knight of Cups" also isn't present; Fremaux said he talked to Malick not long ago and the director told him the film wasn't ready. The festival will add titles in the coming days, Fremaux said, so don't be surprised if "Rosewater" or another high-profile pic still lands there.)

How are the picks so far? SU: 62-17 ... ATS:
Big 12 Game of
the Week
(9-1) at Texas Tech
Why to watch:
You want to get the blood boiling? Ask
Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach about
the officiating in last week's 59-43
loss to Texas (he was fined 10K for his
comments). While you're at it, get
Oklahoma head man Bob Stoops started on
the refs in the controversial 23-21 loss
to the Red Raiders in 2005. For the most
part, Texas Tech hasn't gotten in
Oklahoma's way over the years with the
Sooners winning six of the last seven
times, but this year, things could get
extremely interesting if the Red Raiders
pull off the win. While it would knock
OU out of the national title hunt, it
would also give hope to Texas in the
South race. Tech has put up its usual
bazillion points a game along with its
yards by the truckload (leading the
nation in both total yards and passing
yards), but it has yet to come up with a
signature win. The best victory has been
over Texas A&M. The second best was over
Iowa State. Whoopee. Oklahoma has won
five straight since the late (let's call
it what it was) choke to Colorado and
can clinch the South with a win. The
offense is humming, the defense has
gotten back on track over the last few
weeks, and this is starting to look like
the national title team everyone thought
it was back in early September. It's all
about style points in the national title
chase, and the Sooner need a bunch of
them. Why Oklahoma
might win: To paraphrase a classic
line from GoodFellas, screw you,
pay me. Texas Tech has won seven games
against a who's who of mediocre to bad
teams, and outside of the win over the
Aggies, 0-4 against the teams with a
pulse. In the four losses, Tech has
allowed an average of 45 points per game
mainly due to a porous run defense.
Texas cranked out 283 yards and four
scores last week. Missouri had an almost
perfect balance with 212 rushing yards
and 210 through the air. Oklahoma State
tore off 366 yards and four touchdowns
and threw for 244 and three scores. The
Tech defense simply doesn't have enough
in the bag to keep up with an Oklahoma
attack that's unstoppable when it gets
on a roll. Making matters worse are the
lack of takeaways forcing just 17
turnovers on the year. To win this, Tech
has to force several Sooner mistakes.
Why Texas Tech might win:
Oklahoma might be third in the Big 12 in
pass defense, but it gives up 227 yards
per game through the air and has shown
some signs that it can get beaten deep
if someone wants to give it a shot.
Baylor's offense is a Texas Tech wannabe
and was able to get a few big plays in
last week's 52-21 loss. Missouri's Chase
Daniel was able to throw for 361 on the
Sooners. Yes, the Tech defense will give
up a ton of yards and will allow a few
home runs, but Graham Harrell will get
his yards and his points. There's also
the road trip factor. Oklahoma has only
had two real away games so far (not
counting the "road" trip to Tulsa and
the neutral site game against Texas) and
struggled in each needing a late pick to
hold off Iowa State and losing to
Colorado. For a team like OU that builds
off early success and momentum, being in
a hostile environment might be a really
big deal.Who to watch: As the
old line goes, the only person who was
ever able to stop Michael Jordan was
Dean Smith. Apparently, the only person
able to stop Oklahoma redshirt freshman
DeMarco Murray is Bob Stoops. Murray has
been electrifying as both a runner and a
kickoff returner averaging 33 yards per
return, with a touchdown last week, and
averaging 6.2 yards per carry with 13
touchdowns. Now he has to get the ball
in his hands more averaging just 12
touches per game. The focus of the
showdown will be on the nation's No. 1
quarterback in passing efficiency, OU's
Sam Bradford, and the nation's leader in
total offense, Harrell (who's No. 3 in
the country in efficiency rating), but
it might be Murray who steals the show
... if he's given the ball.
What will happen:
Oklahoma is way overdue for a letdown
while Texas Tech is way overdue to
actually beat someone good. It'll be a
shootout of mega-proportions with
Harrell outdueling Bradford for the
shocking upset.

Big 12 Saturday, November 17th
Iowa State (3-8) at Kansas
Why to watch: Normally one
of the most ignored games on the Big 12
schedule, now the glare of the national
spotlight is on as Kansas tries to get
through this week before the showdown
with Missouri in Kansas City. The
Jayhawks might be ranked third in the
latest BCS poll, but a skeptical nation
is still waiting for something more than
just a win over Oklahoma State. Beating
Iowa State wouldn't exactly get the
world on the KU bandwagon, but a close
call of any kind in the final home game
of the year would help Oregon and others
immeasurably. The Cyclones aren't just
going to be a pushover with two straight
wins and all the pressure off. Gene
Chizik's club is playing just well
enough to be yet another spoiler in this
wild season.Why
Iowa State
might win: Iowa State has figured
out how to start playing some offense.
Painfully bad for most of the first
eight games of the season, the infusion
of young players has provided a
desperately needed spark. While hardly
Texas Tech when it comes to cranking out
yards, the Cyclones are taking advantage
of every opportunity now and has figured
out how to finally start getting into
the end zone. The Kansas defense isn't
nearly as good as the statistics might
suggest. As Oklahoma State and Nebraska
showed, the secondary can be bombed on.
However ...
Why Kansas might win: ... it's
not like the Cyclones are going to throw
300 passing yards on the board. Outside
of a few big plays to Todd Blythe in
last week's win over Colorado, the Iowa
State passing game has way too
inconsistent to roll for a full sixty
minutes in a game like this. Fine, so
Kansas might not be full of a who's who
of pro prospects like LSU and Oklahoma,
but no one is playing more efficiently
on offense. To beat Kansas, Iowa State
has to not only be perfect, it has to
force several mistakes and that's not
going to happen. The Cyclones don't
force turnovers, while KU leads the
nation in turnover margin. The Jayhawks
lead the country in kickoff returns
averaging 30.19 yards per try, while ISU
is 115th averaging 17.78 yards per
return, and is dead last in punt returns
averaging 3.25 yards per try.Who to watch:
It's the final game in the long and
interesting careers of the Iowa State
pitch-catch combination of Bret Meyer to
Todd Blythe. The roommates have been
mainstays of the program for the last
four years with Blythe catching 174
passes averaging 17.67 yards per grab
with 31 touchdowns, while Meyer has
produced 10,310 yards of total offense
with 50 touchdown passes and 12 scoring
runs. The two hooked up for two
touchdowns last week, and will likely be
bombing away this week to keep up with
the KU attack.
What will happen: Iowa
State will put up a much, much bigger
fight than Kansas might like. The
Jayhawks have too good at answering
scores with scores of their own and will
be able to handle a little bit of
adversity to get the win, but it'll be a
bit of a battle.

at Kansas State
Why to watch: Trap ...
TRAAAAAP. Missouri is rolling along at
9-1 on a dominant four-game winning
streak and with a shot at being in the
national title discussion if it wins
this week, beats Kansas, and wins the
Big 12 title game over (most likely)
Oklahoma. Of course, this week shouldn't
be a problem, right? After all, the
Wildcats have lost two straight to Iowa
State and Nebraska, the two worst teams
in the North, by a combined score of 104
to 51. After a promising start, KSU has
hit a wall over the last four weeks and
now needs to win its final two games to
realistically be in the mix for a bowl
bid. The road trip to Fresno State next
week won't be a picnic, but if the Cats
can get a win over the Tigers, they
won't need a plane to fly to face the
might win: The Kansas State
secondary has given up 17 touchdown
passes in the last six games and is
coming off a 519-yard bombing by
Nebraska. Meanwhile, Missouri's passing
game has hit its groove with 781 yards
and eight touchdowns in the last two
games to go along with a solid running
game. This is a finely tuned Tiger
offensive machine that should be able to
overcome any adversity by finding
something that works. If KSU takes away
the run, Daniel will throw deep. Take
away the long ball and Daniel will work
underneath to his tight ends. Texas A&M
actually put up more of a fight last
week than than the 40-26 final score
might indicate, and that might be just
enough of a tight test to get Mizzou
through any issues this week.
Why Kansas State might win: It's
going to take something special and out
of the ordinary for Kansas State to win,
and that might come from the punt return
game. Led by Deon Murphy, KSU leads the
nation in punt returns averaging 22.06
yards per try, while the Missouri
punting game has been abysmal. Murphy,
at the very least, should give the
Wildcats excellent field position and
could turn the momentum of the game with
a score. The pressure is completely and
totally on the Tigers. Kansas State will
come out fired up on Senior Day and
should play loose. Last year, a far
superior Missouri team got shocked by a
miserable Iowa State squad in its final
home game of the year.Who to watch:
Kansas State's Josh Freeman and Jordy
Nelson. Lost in last two defeats has
been the solid play from Freeman, who
has bombed away for 200 yards or more in
every game but one, the win over Texas.
The Wildcats were able to upset the
Longhorns thanks to Nelson, who caught
12 passes for 116 yards and returned a
punt for a score. Nelson is a shoo-in
for All-America honors with 99 catches
for 1,347 yards and nine touchdowns, and
he should be in for a huge game against
a suspect Tiger secondary that gave up
247 yards to the ground-oriented Texas
A&M. These two need to go
ballistic to pull off the upset.
What will happen: Freeman
will bomb away for 400 yards and Nelson
will have a jaw-dropping day, but it
won't be enough. Daniel and the Tiger
offense will get on a second half roll
that KSU won't be able to stop.

Oklahoma State
(5-5) at Baylor
Why to watch:
With a huge week of Big 12 games, this
one will get pushed aside even though it
could end up being the most entertaining
of the lot. Both teams desperately need
a win, with Oklahoma State trying to get
bowl eligible with a sixth win before
facing Oklahoma. The Cowboys have lost
two straight in high-profile fashion,
getting their doors blown off by Texas
before losing on national television to
Kansas. As rough as those were, a loss
to Baylor would be worse considering OSU
is 10-1 in the series since the
formation of the Big 12. For the Beats,
an 0-7 conference record and a
seven-game losing streak has all but
doomed the Guy Morriss era. In what
should be his final game as the BU head
coach, his team should come out with
guns blazing in a shootout.Why Oklahoma State
might win: Even when the Baylor
attack is working, it keeps shooting
itself in the foot with turnovers. The
offense has only gone one game with
fewer than two giveaways, while the
defense hasn't done nearly enough to
force any big plays of its own. The
passing game gets some decent yards here
and there, but not enough of them to
overcome a defense that hasn't been
close to slowing down anyone's passing
game. How ugly have things been for the
Bears? They haven't been closer than 20
points in any Big 12 game getting
outscored by an average of 44 to 14.
Why Baylor might win: Does OSU
have anything left in the tank? After
emotional losses to Texas and Kansas,
and with all mental focus likely on
Oklahoma next week, Baylor could come up
with just enough of a good game to pull
off the upset. It's not like the Cowboys
have been great on the road this year
with a blowout loss to Georgia, a
stunning blasting at Troy, and a loss to
Texas A&M before obliterating Nebraska
in Lincoln. The Cowboy pass defense is
the worst in the Big 12 made possible by
a lack of a pass rush. Baylor, for all
its problems, has been terrific all year
in pass protection. When given time, QB
Blake Szymanski has been effective.Who to watch:
The time is now for Oklahoma State
freshman WR Dez Bryant. A superior
talent who got lost a bit in the shuffle
throughout the year, he stepped up last
week when Adarius Bowman went down and
caught eight passes for 155 yards and a
touchdown. With Bowman out for the rest
of the regular season with a knee
injury, it'll be up to Bryant to play an
even bigger role, while Brandon
Pettigrew, a solid number two target
throughout the year, needs to overcome a
rough one-catch day against the Jayhawks.
These two will be the stars of the 2008
OSU passing game, but to get to a bowl
game, they need to blow up now.
What will happen: In a
big-time shootout, the two teams will
combine for well over 1,000 yards of
total offense. Baylor will throw at
will, but it'll be the OSU running game
and balance that'll win out in the
fourth quarter.
