Johor Bahru - LEGOLAND!
Johor Bahru is a city in Malaysia situated on the border of Singapore and is the home to Legoland!
Where we stayed
After loving our taste of budget luxury staying at Tune hotel in Makassar we couldn't resist another stay at Tune Hotel in Johor Bahru. And again it delivered – a super comfortable bed, complete with luxury …
The Missing Singapore Archives by RLjnr
... The departure area of Singapore airport is incredible, it's a huge shopping centre combined with an airport. Upstairs, we treated ourselves to a McDonalds breakfast which for me included, 2 strips of turkey bacon, 2 English muffins, 2 pancakes, scrambled eggs, a hash brown, a hot milo and a pork patty. After breakfast and exploiting the free wi-fi, we moved towards our departure bay were we were moved towards our plane and once again propelled into the sky. At least I got some time ...
Malaysia and Singapore
... got to Western pricing again! An early night was taken as we had a long day of eating and drinking on Sunday. Frank, Wan, two of their friends, myself and alex went for a three course meal, commencing at midday, with 3 hours free flowing drink. So it was 3 hours of prosecco for us both! Fair to say without food in the belly it got us going pretty quickly! The food was amazing also, Greek/Italian style buffet to start which I would've been happy with all day, then frank ordered pork ...
Day 3
Had breakfast at Maccas then we went to an Internet cafe to book some tours (internet at the hotel is like when we first had dial-up) So slow! Decided to walk to China Town to have a look around. We went to the "Faces of Chinatown" Heritage Centre, which told the history of China Town and had replica rooms set up of how they lived in the 1950's. It was a real eye-opener to see how the Chinese immigrants lived and survived back then. We called in at "Fatty ...
What Are The Chances?
... more special. After stopping at a couple caf�s to cool off from the humidity and walking for hours, we went to Sky Park which is a horizontal boat shaped building that sits on top of three beautiful tall vertical buildings. This complex has shops (of course in Singapore!), restaurants, a casino, and a hotel. From the top we were able to see incredible views of the city at night.
Next, we all went for dinner and kept ...

I still have never gotten over the impulse to over eat when I am on holiday. This past August my husband Damian had been hired to DJ a party in Florence so I thought decided to tag along. Stretching it into a week for some relaxation and gastronomy, we booked a room in a 14th -century agriturismo. In the heart of Chianti, we were living the Tuscan dream thanks to the recommendation of an American friend who has lived there for twenty years. Lori is a writer. Her latest book; a collaboration with her husband Jason Lowe, Beaneaters and Bread Soup is a collection of stories, portraits and recipes from the very region Damian was spinning records in.
One morning after four cappuccinos and two ice-creams, there was still no way we could pass up the smell billowing out of a little bakery in the town of San Casciano. Inside, the locals knew exactly what they were getting, and they liked to get it quickly. There is no tolerance for loitering. So when it was suddenly my turn, I nervously nodded...

Claire Cavanah and Rachel Venning opened the first Babeland store in 1993 in response to the lack of women-friendly sex shops in Seattle. The store offered top quality products, a pleasant place to shop, and most of all information and encouragement to women who wanted to explore their sexuality. The store's popularity with both women and men has led to three more stores in New York, plus a thriving and educational website.
We host workshops and events almost every week. Stop by for one of our Moms events, Art Walk nights, Babeland Brunches or one of our many popular sex education classes.

We have some nice fireroad climbs in my area that I would definitely want to give a go on a tandem. Since the bike has v'brakes and/or disc brakes I'm guessing that a wider cross tire should be no problem. We are a pretty light couple - 310 lbs total so i'm guessing the frame should be able to handle a little offroad use.

In The Past 48 Hours, AAPL Has Lost More In Market Cap Than All Of...
In the last 48 hours, everyone's beloved stock - AAPL - has lost around $35 billion in market capitalization. That is larger than the entire market capitalization of these large-cap companies...
How long until the Bank of Israel, whose holding AAPL happens to be, needs a Fed bailout, due to its speculative, high beta investments? The $125 loss per Apple has certainly has left a mark on Stanley Fisher's (who just happens to be considered for Bernanke's replacement) balance sheet.

Gold vs Smapple? Ummm, which way, which way??
That's still something like a $250 stock. Plenty of room to drop (same can be said of gold).
And yet gold is in a bear market...gold is over...gold is...sigh
"And yet gold is in a bear market...gold is over...gold is...sigh"
Quite a bit of negativity bearing down on gold makes me think it's cheap enough. The ole' relic has long survived and does not rot from its core
Huh, I didn't realize Priceline.com had that big of a market cap.
Reggie was right, about 3 years ago!
General Mills shrunk the Lara bars; they are only two or three small bites, now. Although, I know that Lara is doing just fine. Fuck, just give me an apple (not AAPL) and a bag of nuts for half the price.
They've been passing on costs with product reductions and weigh-outs vs. price increases for the last several years across most of their product portfolio...they are not alone.
There's NO WAY Lara bars are 2 small bites. They're more than a mouthful!
I bought a chocolate bar the other day that was so thin I was amazed. 1.55 oz, it looked like they took the candy bar that I used to get and sliced it in half, thickness-wise. Price wasn't any cheaper, though.
You should really enjoy Orwell's book, 1984.
Nuts aredamn expensive these days. Small bag of cashews fetches nearly $10 in my parts.
What inflation?
Pirate walks into a bar with a captain's wheel down his pants. Bartender asks why and the Pirate says, "They're drivin' me nuts!"

And yet gold is in a bear market...gold is over...gold is...sigh
Still 31.1 grams to the ounce?
Nope - that was last month. This month, an ounce has shrunk to 28.35 grams...
But the new box on my gold says "New improved convenient 28.35 gram per OZT size". It's a good thing, right? Like with corn flakes and choco chip cookies.
Exxon Mobile is now back in number one position for highest market cap.
sorry guys. I'm a buyer here. pre-earning is a gamble, but you fuckers are acting like every single person you know does not own an iphone, and no one cares what their next product iteration will be. These guys could buy any business they fucking want. You think they are going to squander 137 bill in cash? what do you think they are, a government?
That's what they said when it was $500, $475, $450, $425, $400.....
BTW and OT - does the DXY look like an algo driven mini flash crash is possible?
late day ramp is back!
Time for a 2 for 1 reverse split?
they're gonna wait until it gets down to 333 for that one.
Too funny. :)
If life gives you apples, make cider!

Trouble in AAPL paradise. Don't let the stock price or movement fool you. Follow the cash flows.
Apple has reportedly stopped placing component orders for its Mac series products recently and related upstream suppliers so far have not yet received any word about when the US-based vendor will resume its orders, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.
The suppliers originally expected to finish digesting their Mac inventories in April, but are now stranded waiting for further instructions from Apple.
The sources revealed that Apple's Mac orders to the supply chain dropped to almost nothing after the Lunar New Year holidays. Apple had high hopes for its Mac product lines and placed aggressive orders at the end of 2012; however, the company is now badly affected by the decision.
Since Apple hardly mis-estimates its shipment forecasts, the sharp order drop may imply that Apple has underestimated the PC industry's weak status and its iPad products are affecting the PC industry more seriously than it expected.
In the past, Apple usually gave its suppliers its shipment forecast for the upcoming quarter (12 weeks), but the company did not provide a shipment forecast for the second quarter and some suppliers are concerned that shipments may not resume until late May.
Benny boy and everyone can say all they want about the stock market reflecting the economy but the supply chain and orders placed are the real measure of health. AAPL is one of the measuring sticks so is Walmart. We know how well they are keeping their shelves stocked right now. I'm thinking the old you can deny reality but can't deny the consequences of reality is finally rearing it's ugly head. Means bubble is ready to burst soon. Cash flows matter, if they ain't paying suppliers means they ain't selling means they are contracting means the stock price has to reflect that at some point (I believe that it already is).
Virtually the whole world is leveraged. Cash flow is everything. +1
I gotta think that the tablets have put a dent into notebook sales. I also gotta beleive that even the AAPL die-hards aren't immune to upgrade fatigue. The iPad 3 works great for the uses I intended for it, why by another? I also gotta wonder whether AAPLs history of introducing an intermediate model every other year doesn't have prospective buyers on hold waiting for the "iPhone 5S" to be announced. If people think Q1 was soft at AAPL I wonder if Q2 won't be even softer still.
a clear victory for behavioral economists - or a loss for efficient market hypothesis staters. momentum indeed is part of a stock run. who would have thunk?
yup, this is very worriesome for aapl shareholders. not only is it down, but its down on heavy volume. i can not remember the last time aapl was up significantly on heavy volume.
also, all of tech is down today, which is weird considering big cap names like ibm, google, and msft report after bell.
goog is down nearly 2 and a half percent before there earnings, you think this is insider selling knowing report is not going to meet?
should be interesting to watch after hours.
if they do disappoint, goog can be under 700 by weeks end.
fuck goog, aapl, fb, amzn, etc
Half of congress is probably at the the D.C. Wallmart buying 'Depend Undergarments'. Serves those insider trading thiefs right.;-)
Reggie Reggie Reggie......... margin compression baby, hurts like a bitch
Does this means it is to late for the dividends that CNBC was clamoring for a few weeks ago?
What a f'ing joke. A market cap of 367.4 BILLION dollars with Property Plant and Equipment (material) assets of 15.4 billion dollars. Dot.bomb era valuations.
One man, one phone, one operating system.... the list goes on. Having a lot of "ones" is a lot of things that can quickly run a company up on the rocks.
The "one man" is gone <brief moment of silence for SJ>, the "one phone" is getting it's ass kicked pretty good by suddenly emboldened competitors and I don't see the "next big thing" coming from them.
They're a gadget maker. They had the best stuff for years. But they stumbled bad and will not regain their former glory. Gadget makers almost never do.
p/e less than 9 at this point is that dot.bomb?
check out the gold miners pe
right, but central banks aren't trying to destroy demand for iPhones.
seems the public is conveniently forgetting the big run up was on easy money and had hardly anything to do with reality. Aapl shares, and similarly the real estate market, should never have been at such lofty values to begin with. I'll add some cliche's such as, you reap what you sow and let the buyer beware. Remember that one? Let the buyer beware..
Low volume/highly imbalanced and leveraged "market".
I can't help but laugh...
Appl has fallen 42% fom its high. Gold has fallen 20%, less than half of apple's drop. however people are talking about gold's bull market being broken. by that standard I guess AAPL is headed for bankruptcy.
Could sure bail out quite a few Eurozone countries with that kind of coin. A lot more muni's too - I am talking about you Phiily.
If you buy Blodget's argument on Apple, maybe you can buy the Brooklyn Bridge from him too.
Blodget argues that a cheaper iPhone is in the works and that's good for Apple shareholders. But if Apple goes ahead with that cheaper version, its margins will shrink and that will mean further profit declines.
And it signals an end to Apple's differentiation strategy – it made better products for big existing markets like MP3 players, smart phones, and tablets – that caused Apple's appeal to investors and customers to soar.
Moreover, it is highly unlikely that Apple — with its enormous fixed costs including a $5 billion headquarters complex under construction in Cupertino – will be able to win as the industry's low cost producer.
hey Henry: You know why Andoid/Google phones are doing better than Apple (which has its limits, but even I as a PC guy admit - it IS a better product)???
Because the younger generations, the consumers who would be interested in spending what little money they have on tech: THEY ARE IN DEBT, HAVE NO JOBS, AND NO FUCKING MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111
Apple's consumers finally realize that they are mainstream and lobotomized.
What about that Steve guy? Isn't AAPL going to have him on the conference call? He used to be good.
I have been saying it for ever......was maybe even the first.......
APPL is going to zero.....it's so 2012......
If only I had the balls to short this fucker and ride it down into the teens....because that is where it is going....
Go do some historical research on Microsoft's stock price (MSFT). Take that chart and lay it peak-to-peak with Apple (AAPL).
The next thing you will do is let out a gasp and say "Oh, my God."
Then I'll tell you that's BEST case because MSFT has a fortress of licensing revenues, etc, which Apple doesn't have nearly as much of.
Yeah. Like that.
No one claiming the Apple Watch and the Apple T.V. will save them?
C'mon! They can have Huggy Bear and Mrs. Brady promote them!
Sorry everyone, I wasn't paying attention to the price of Apple's stock recently. Has it reached $1000 already?
That made me check in on James Asstoucher. He predicted DOW 20,000 in 2011 and 2012 (and I suppose 2013 would be included in that).
He predicted in 2012 that GRPN would be an "easy double" when it was $10 (now it's $6). Valued Vringo at $3.80 (now at $2.70).
Asstoucher and Jim Crammer must share a house in the Caribbean together and spend long weekends looking into each other's eyes. I'm shocked CNBS hasn't given both of them free reign over the network.
If the Zionists are running the world how come the Bank of Isreal's balance sheet is now totally FUBAR?
Explain that!
How absurd is it that Priceline.Com has a market cap of over $35 billion? I thought they were a dead company from the dot com bubble.
Almost as absurd as the fact that it has a larger market cap than Halliburton. The chard remains of an internet bubble is worth more than the largest global energy services company. The way the left and fringe of society talk of Halliburton, commanded by the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, you'd think it ought to be worth $235 billion, not $35.
Small float. Like AMZN and NLFX. Makes it real easy to manipulate. 20 people each hold 4% and agree to never let go. Let the remaining 20% trade among HFT bots to give the appearance of a free market. Voila!
Where is that douche James Altucher who said Apple was gonna be the first Trillion dollar company and had a price target of $1,000?
+1000 Funny I just made a comment about that above; mental message received my friend.
So funny! Now all you AAPL-tards do like my avatard does!
Don't it feel sooooo good when you stop!!?
While I don't like to see anyone get hurt, particularly all the retired teachers and electrical workers whose Roth IRA's are largely comprised of crAAPL, this is actually healthy and, I'm almost embarrassed to say, cleansing.
The jump up starting JAN '12 was pure hedge-fund manipulation, the final move to the Sept peak the well-documented long APPL/Short S&P trade that got more crowded than a pigsty at feeding time (and only slightly less filthy), then that trade's unwinding powered the S&P skyward from Nov till Feb of this year. Absolutely NOTHING happened that would account for the market value moves with respect to phones, future products or the "cool factor", and yet we had price targets above a solid SAT score.
This is not to say that stocks should move purely on fundamentals, but the fact that college students were able to finance a full year in the ivy league simply thru the absurd weekly explosion of option implied volatilities, even though the only 'greeks' they knew were Heraclitus and their fraternity brothers, made this already joke of a market move into Barnum & Beetle Bailey territory -- but the final joke will be on the frat boys, for by 2014 Gene Munster will still have a job and they won't.
So, now that we've all had our fun, learned our lessons, etc., can be get back to standard market chicanery, for old times sake? Pleeeeease !
maybe they should use allllll their cash horde to buy up the shares. ROFL
buncha dumb shits running the ship(with a look-a-like front man) after Jobs died.

Market Cap is a bit abstract...
This isn't...
that's 35 billion in vaporized Pension Fund Balance Sheet valuation. woops...someone just got poorer than they thought they were. Good thing there's a Guarantee Corp.
AAPL execs must have been hangin out an the genius bar too often.
I won't set foot in that store til they get rid of those arrogant genius bars and start making larger phones. I just say no to a postage stamp screen. My galaxy note2 is superior to any iphone in nearly every way and then some.
On a long enough timeline, everybody is right about something.
My prediction is that public equities will be discredited for generations to come, and will only be thinly traded, zero sum, by computers and muppets.
Most of these companies will be either extinct or LUCKY to have a market cap of even 1 billion.
Hey speaking of Apple, whatever happened to that punk Einhorn crying about paying out dividends? I'm assuming they didn't do it, and he's still losing his ass right?
In 2 years time, would you rather have 3.5 shares of Apple or 1oz. of gold or silver equivalent?
Didn't one ounce of gold only buy two shares of apple a few months ago?
an aapl a day keeps the profits away.
I'll buy when the yield hits 8%!
AAPL PR guys: BTFD! BTFD! BTFD!
apple 1600 target. tonnes of fools still exist out there.
A company that has outperformed Apple over 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years. It has a 5 year dividend growth of 32% and dividend yield of 1.9%. It has a guaranteed growing customer base for the next 20 years. And no debt. Take a look at Novo Nordisk, the worlds leading insulin producer.
talk your book, baby
Nothing wrong with AAPL. Wall street must take all blames.
Isn't the a song with: "What comes up, must go down" in it. The sky is always some kind of limit...
Gundlach was being nice when he said it would fall to $425
First dollars, then Apple stock... time for Mythbusters, the Financial Edition - Myth #666: Jews are financial super genius - extra wise and cautious, too...

May 6 2014, 11:13pm CDT | by Poch de la Rosa
Derrick Brooks will be inducted into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Ring of Honor.
Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official website reports on May 6 that Brooks will just be the third player in franchise history to have his number retired, following in the footsteps of Warren Sapp (No. 99) and Lee Roy Selmon (No. 63):
"During a press conference to announce that he would be the next person inducted into the Tampa Bay Buccaneer's Ring of Honor at Raymond James Stadium, Derrick Brooks learned he was also going to bear an even more exclusive distinction in franchise history.
"Co-chairman Jay Glazer, whose family purchased the team the very same year Brooks was drafted, in 1995, made the announcement: The Buccaneers wil retire the No. 55 that Brooks wore for 14 unparalleled seasons.
"Brooks joins Warren Sapp (No. 99) and the late Lee Roy Selmon (No. 63) as the only three players to have their numbers retired by the franchise. Those three are linked in many ways: They're all Ring of Honor members, they all got the call from the Pro Football Hall of Fame and they all won NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors as Buccaneers.
"And, of course, those three are almost inarguably the three best players in franchise history.
"'My family and I look forward to making the trip to Canton this summer to help celebrate the culmination of Derrick's football journey, where Derrick will receive the highest honor pro football can bestow,' said Glazer.
"'Then, in Week 2 of the season as we take on the St. Louis Rams, we will honor Derrick as the sixth inductee into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Ring of Honor. And, in addition, we will bestow Derrick with the Buccaneers' highest honor. On that day, we will retire No. 55.'"
Brooks told Smith it is "a tremendous honor."
"It's extremely important. Walking in, (it was) said that this was probably one of the worst-kept secrets alive today, but I don't look at it that way. As I told Mr. Glazer, you don't take anything for granted, you don't make any assumptions.
"Today is a very important day in my life and to have my number retired is extremely special on top of that.
"No one has worn it since I left, but to know that it's part of this franchise's history is a tremendous honor. I've had the opportunities to have my number retired in high school and college, but this is a little different for me, because every time something goes on in that stadium and they see that number up there they get a piece of me."
The 41-year-old Brooks joins former Tampa Bay coach John McKay and players Jimmie Giles, Paul Gruber and Selmon in the team's Ring of Honor, per The Tampa Bay Times' Greg Auman
Auman adds more details about Tuesday's announcement:
"Bucs co-chairman Bryan Glazer introduced Brooks as the leader of the franchise's Super Bowl champs while emphasizing his ongoing work off the field with charities and the high school that bears his name is much more impressive than what he accomplished in a helmet and pads.
"His first coach, Tony Dungy, attended Tuesday's announcement, as he did linebackers coach, current Bucs head coach Lovie Smith, along with several former teammates."
Brooks was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Feb. 1. Upon his enshrinement in August, his bust will be placed across Sapp's. Sapp was inducted into Tampa Bay's Ring of Honor and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013, per WDAE.
Brooks was an iron man on the field who was a standard of excellence for linebackers during his prime. He never missed a single game during his 14-year NFL career and played in 11 Pro Bowl games -- including nine consecutive, according to the WDAE update.
He had 1,301 tackles, 13.5 sacks and 25 interceptions in his pro football career, which also included a win over the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII as another distinguished highlight .

With the Nets up 51-35 in the first half of their game against the Celtics last night, tempers flared when Nets' Kris Humphries fouled Celtics' Kevin Garnett sending him crashing to the floor. Rajon Rondo didn't take to kindly to Humphries' foul on his teammate and that's when a brawl broke out. Boston head coach responded to the brawl saying the fight was "not toughness" while Garnett said the NBA is not the "Girl Scouts." However, you spin it whether it be the thought that Rondo was there for his teammate for the hard foul or frustrations were mounting for Rondo, this was not what was needed for a struggling team. The Humphries foul was not malicious, and in the video even KG is not overreacting about the foul. Rondo overreacted and now he might see a suspension coming his way from the NBA thus hurting the Celtics (who are hovering above .500) in any games he may miss. In the end, Rondo, Humphries, and Gerald Wallace got tossed and Boston lost 95-83 to the Nets....

I'm really looking forward to getting a look at this. Love the mythology anyway, so if they can pull it off then I'll be happy. Has a touch of Vampire Hunter D style to it, in terms of the shading and the attire.
Oooooooh it's an invisible signature... oooooooooh!!
"Life... it's the name of the game, and I want to play the game with you!"
Looks like it could be interesting And not a Wolverine in sight
I am hungry, I am incorrigible, I AM BEAR!
Looks like it could be a Devil May Cry / Bayonetta style game. Hope it's better than those.
Do or do not - frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
Having never played any of their earlier stuff, I'm not too sure what to expect. However, that does look quite cool. I'm not totally sold on Van Helsings look yet and the sword looks a little Final Fantasy for my liking but I'm certainly intrigued.

Q: What can we do about our 9 year old cat urinating and defecating on the floor?
September 23, 2008 | By Anonymous | 9 answers | Expired: 2679 days ago
Emily is 9. She insists on using the bottom of the stair hallway in the basement for her bathroom. There are 2 litter boxes down there--kept clean. We are at wit's end . How do we correct this most upsetting habit.?
Sep 23, 2008
There are a few different reasons I can think of as to why your cat is continuing to urinate somewhere other than her litterbox.
Do you have more than one cat? Sometimes cats do not like to share a box, so they take their business elsewhere. She may find the boxes she is using too small also.
Your cat could be rejecting the litter you use. Some cats use the clumping sand like litter whereas other cats use pellet like litter.
Also, depending on what you clean the urine stains with, your cat may be encouraged to use the same spot. Some cleaners contain ammonia, which is found in urine/feces, and that attracts the animal to the spot again. I recommend a cleaner like Simple Solution that cuts out the stain and smell without using ammonia.
It never hurts to tell your vet what your cat's behaviors are, because it could be a sign of an illness or infection. I hope this helps you and your cat.

Sep 23, 2008
Take her to the vet. My Parker had struvite crystals and starting urinating IN the tub, sink, or on the cold marble floor. If she's been good about using the litter box and all of a sudden she's not, chances are she has an infection. Get her in right away--infections can be very, very serious.

Delilah D'Artigo's in the spotlight once again in this newest chapter of Galenorn's long-running Otherworld saga. Not a fighter by nature, she has experienced character change, and her destiny is only now coming into focus. Passion, sex and commitment — but not monogamy — continue to drive these bewitching tales.
Delilah has recently learned that along with her werecat and werepanther forms, she is also destined to be a Death Maiden, belonging to the Autumn Lord — and it's time to begin her training. She balances her new responsibilities with the ongoing battle to stop the demon general Shadow Wing. Adding to Delilah's stress factor is her relationship with her formerly human boyfriend, Chase. Someone is using a dangerous magical drug called Wolf Briar and werewolves have gone missing. Delilah is facing a crossroads, and her life may never be the same. (JOVE, Nov., 320 pp., $7.99)

The Wii U isn't the only big console news coming from Nintendo's camp. On the mobile gaming front, Nintendo today revealed plans to launch an XL version of its 3DS console with a screen that's almost twice as large (90 percent bigger) than the original version. It will ship in North America on August 19, 2012 for $200, packing a new form factor and either red or blue digs.
It will also wield an improved batteyr that, despite the 90 percent larger screen, outperforms that of the original 3DS, Nintendo claims. The 3DS XL will come bundled with a 4GB SD card to store music, photos, and downloadable games and videos from the Nintendo eShop.
"No other hand-held entertainment experience compares to the fun of Nintendo 3DS," said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime . "With the launch of Nintendo 3DS XL on August 19, consumers will be able to enjoy the great lineup of current and upcoming games on an even grander scale. Plus, Nintendo 3DS XL gives owners even more real estate on their screens to enjoy entertainment applications like Nintendo Video and Netflix."
Also scheduled to launch on August 19 is New Super Mario Bros. 2.Follow Paul on Google+ , Twitter , and Facebook

Merry Christmas from Hello Death.
Not exactly the kind of statement that gives you the warm fuzzies.
And not surprisingly, the man behind the local melancholic folk band, Nathaniel Heuer, didn't have any holly jolly feelings for holiday music for much of his life.
"It was probably a product of me being young and annoyed with consumerism, annoyed with this homogeneous culture," he said. "Every mall is playing the same music, and it's about 'what pop star has recorded a Christmas song this year' and how much money are they going to make off of it."
And yet, within 48 hours of learning the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was inviting local acts to perform their original holiday songs for a series of videos, Heuer had written a lovely and warm Hello Death holiday song, "On a Quiet Winter Night." (See a performance at jsonline.com/soundcheck. The band plans to offer the song as a free download before the end of the year through hellodeath.net.)
"I have a daughter, she is 16 and a half months, so now Christmas has a different meaning," Heuer explained. "Now I understand why my parents want to spend the holidays with me."
Plus, he added, "I really like challenges."
Who's who: Marielle Allschwang, 28 (guitar, vocals, violin); Heuer, 38 (bass, vocals); Shawn Stephany, 38 (guitar, lap steel); Erin Wolf, 33 (piano, accordion, vocals). Heuer spoke for the band.
When the band formed: Right around the end of 2010. I had a bunch of material written and wanted to have it performed and recorded. They were more verse chorus verse song structures and shorter format, and that didn't especially jive with what (another band I'm in) Altos was doing. So I asked people who were in Altos if they wanted to work on songs with me. And luckily everybody I asked said yes.
Band name back story: Altos was briefly known as Hello Death Goodbye Killers. I liked just the "Hello Death" part. So I begged Ken Palme, the guitarist from Altos (to use the name). I got him drunk and he agreed, but he later said that he didn't agree and that we stole it.
Other music: Hello Death released a self-titled, eight-song album this past June (stream and purchase it at hellodeath.bandcamp.com) and is planning to release a new full-length album next year.
Creating "On a Quiet Winter Night": It sounds contrived, but I wanted the song to be in C major because most Christmas songs are in that key. And we experimented with having percussion and accordion, and I wanted Marielle to bring in her violin, but after we rehearsed it a bunch we decided to keep it more minimal, so the focus was the voices and the lyrics with the countermelody via Shawn's guitar.
I wanted that song to be meaningful in a nondenominational way, so it's more about being together with family and loved ones and learning to forgive and forget any crap that comes up. The holidays are a time for that, for some people. For some families it's a time to get together and fight, for others it's a time to pretend nothing is going on while you give each other sideways glances, and for others the holidays are there to discuss stuff so they can ignore each other for another 11 and a half months of the year.
Favorite Christmas song:Burl Ives' "Silver and Gold" from the "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." It's just so goofy.
Favorite Christmas album:"Merry Christmas" by Johnny Mathis. If you change the lyrics, they're just good songs. They don't rely on being holiday songs to be interesting.
Favorite Christmas movie: "The Nightmare Before Christmas." It's really dark and kind of creepy and the soundtrack is amazing.
Annual Christmas tradition: My mother still makes a stocking for me. And it always has an orange at the toe.
Favorite Christmas dish or drink: No. Just whiskey.
Favorite Christmas gift: I got a King Kong set when I was 3 or 4. It was actually a building and a giant, plastic, unhuggable King Kong. It was great. We moved shortly after that and so I gave it to my best friend Mark. He liked it a lot too, and I kind of regretted that. I forgot about Mark pretty quickly but that King Kong set, I wanted it back.
All you want for Christmas is...: "Two weeks at Electrical Audio in Chicago. Hopefully (owner) Steve Albini will see this and say, 'Oh, I can grant you that.' It's just a fantastic recording studio. Every album that's been recorded there I really like; even if I don't like the music I like the recording."
Next gig: 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Cactus Club, 2496 S. Wentworth Ave., with Twin Brother, Old Earth and Ghostnotes. Price to be determined.

Just wanted to say hello to all those other mom's to be out there expecting more than one bundle of joy...
Welcome Multiple Mommies
Hi All,
Just found out yesterday that we are having twins, 6w1d after IUI with injectables, DD 12/18. These will be babies #2 and 3 for us. Our daughter will be a month shy of 3 when these are born.
We knew twins were a risk with IUI but I have to say, I am terrified!
We saw two heartbeats as well, heart rates were 106 and 118... anyone know if that is good or not? We go for another ultrasound in 2 weeks.
Good luck everyone!
Traci - 42, DH - 47, DD - 4
TTC #2 since January 2011
6 rounds of Clomid with TI, 3 IUI's, 6 IVF's, 4 miscarriages
Hello! I think Im a little ahead... Im 12 weeks pregnant today with fraternal twins conceived through IVF/ICSI. This is my second pregnancy, both through IVF since we cant conceive naturally. My first pregnancy was a beautiful baby girl who was too beautiful for earth and gained wings on 9/24/12 at 16w2d. I miss her so much...
We expect this babies anytime around october, but my EDD is Nov 14th, 2012 :D
Mommy to 3 ANGELS! Baby Girl Kayrah Liz 09/24/11 TWINS- Baby Girl Anaiah Liz 07/01/12, Baby Boy Hanniel Alexander 07/02/12
Always in our ♥s!
Congratulations and welcome to the group! I'm excited that we're a small group so we can get to know each other.
edd 9/23, 2nd set of twins!
Hi all! I'm new to the group and edd is 12/6. This is my first pregnancy and DH and I were shocked to learn we're expecting twins (conceived naturally). Found out after the fact that twins run on my mom's side. Still getting used to the idea of multiples, but since I've always wanted two kids I keep telling myself that we're simply starting our family in the most efficient way possible! Has anyone had their 2nd u/s yet? I go in for my 2nd appt next week and not sure what to expect from this one, since the last one was so full of surprises!
Hi fellow twin ladies!! I'm am so happy that there is a twin group! I am already finding that having twins comes with a whole different set of worries and possible outcomes and we are going to need each other, cause this is gonna be one hell of a ride! I just found out at my first ultrasound at 7weeks on 5/7/12 that we are having twins! It does not run in either of our families and it never even crossed my mind that I would have twins, I'm terrified, haha!! I also feel super blessed!
Me (35) and Hubby (33), DSS (10), DS (9), DS (2)
TWINS GIRLS!!! due 12/14/12
Hi there.
I'm 12 weeks and found out at 7 weeks that we're having fraternal twins. We had been trying for 18 months and had done IU with clomid and injectibles. We knew this was a possibility but were pretty shocked.
We had the NT test this week and all looked well.
We have told only our family's and one couple that we're having twins. A handful of other friends know I'm pregnant.
Trying to figure out when to tell the big news.
I'm due Nov. 20. But the doctor said they should arrive around Halloween.
Hi everyone :) I'm almost 12 weeks and found out at my first ultrasound that we have twins! Quite a surprise... Here's to a happy, healthy 9 months to all of us and our twins :)

Friday must have felt like a long time coming for Grand Junction's Spencer Weinberg.
Two years ago, he was on top of the prep tennis world when he won the No. 1 singles title as a sophomore.
Weinberg, who has battled a wrist injury, and his coach, Carol Elliott, came to Gates Tennis Center and the Class 5A tournament this time with hopes of a top-four finish.
He's going to finish no worse than second, and he has a chance to win his second title.
Weinberg avenged his regular-season, three-set loss to Denver East's Matt Sayre with a 6-2, 7-5 victory in the semifinals Friday on Center Court. That advanced Weinberg to a Saturday morning rematch with Highlands Ranch's Hayden Sabatka, who defeated Weinberg in the 2011 championship match.
"I felt confident in my game, my team, my coach and everything was just working," Weinberg said."
In the team race, the Cherry Creek Bruins are in a good place to capture state title No. 38. After all the playback rounds, the Bruins hold a 65-59 lead over Fairview.
The Bruins and Knights, who met during the regular season, will meet in five of the seven championship matches Saturday.
"I told the kids this morning that history means nothing at this point, because the teams play at a different level here than they ever have before," Creek coach Kirk Price said.
At No. 2 singles, Bruins junior Conner McPherson will try to avenge his regular-season loss to Fairview's Ignatius Castelino; likewise for the No. 1 doubles tandem of Jace Blackburn and Hans Bergal against the Knights' Kevin Chen and Tommy Mason.
Chen and Mason rallied from 5-3 down in the third set against Legacy twins David and Mike Rosencrans to advance to the final.
"The pressure is there, because the team is counting on you," Chen said. "But at the same time, it's a slight advantage because you know your team is behind you."
The lone falter for Fairview on Friday was at No. 2 doubles, where the Arapahoe pairing of Chad Curd and Michael Vartuli took down Fairview's Connor Corrigan and Andrew Pollack 1-6, 6-4, 6-4.
"They were getting a little tight near the end there," Vartuli said.

Students learn about how engineers design and build shake tables to test the ability of buildings to withstand the various types of seismic waves generated by earthquakes. Just like engineers, students design and build shake tables to test their own model buildings made of toothpicks and mini marshmallows. Once students are satisfied with the performance of their buildings, they put them through a one-minute simulated earthquake challenge.
Engineering Connection
Educational Standards
Each TeachEngineering lesson or activity is correlated to one or more K-12 science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) educational standards.
All 100,000+ K-12 STEM standards covered in TeachEngineering are collected, maintained and packaged by the Achievement Standard Network (ASN), a project of JES & Co. (www.jesandco.org).
In the ASN, standards are hierarchically structured: first by source; e.g., by state; within source by type; e.g., science or mathematics; within type by subtype, then by grade, etc.

- Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success. (Grades 6 - 8) [2013] ...show
Pre-Req Knowledge
Learning Objectives
- Explain the four different types of seismic waves produced by earthquakes.
- Describe the purpose of shake tables and how engineers use them.
Materials List
- 1 shoebox
- 1 wooden board (sized to fit in the bottom of the shoebox with room to move in all directions)
- 10 marbles
- 20 Popsicle sticks
- 10 rubber bands
- string, ~50 cm to 1m in length
- hot glue gun and 3 glue sticks
- 1 sandwich bag of mini marshmallows
- toothpicks, a handful or unlimited, depending on materials limitations imposed by teacher
- Shake It Up! Activity Worksheet, one per person
- duct tape
- masking tape
- scissors and/or box cutters
- stopwatch
- Build a shake table that uses a variable speed drill to move the table; follow instructions at John Lahr's Shake Table website: http://jclahr.com/science/earth_science/shake/index.html; materials include: plywood, wooden blocks, foam core board, hollow metal tubes, hot glue, metal rods (welding rods), rod with u-shaped bend, wire, strapping tape (or piece of rubber), fasteners, and a variable speed drill with a speed control unit.
- Alternatively, if you do not want to build the drill-powered shake table, have the class select the best shake table from all the groups and use that one for the one-minute earthquake challenge testing.
- Alternatively, the engineering colleges at some universities make available their shake tables for use by outside student groups for academic purposes.
- The depth at which the earthquake took place (the closer to the surface, the greater the amplitude of the wave)
- The intensity of the earthquake (earthquakes with higher Richter scale ratings produce more intense seismic waves)
- The composition of the Earth's crust
- P-waves (or primary waves, a type of body wave)
- S-waves (or secondary waves, a type of body wave)
- Love waves (a type of surface wave)
- Rayleigh waves (a type of surface wave)
|A seismic wave that travels through the Earth rather than across its surface.
|A series of steps used by engineering teams to guide them as they solve problems: define the problem, come up with ideas (brainstorming), select the most promising design, plan and communicate the design, create and test the design, and evaluate and revise the design. Also called the design-build-test loop.
|A surface seismic wave that cause horizontal shifting of the Earth during an earthquake.
|(noun) A representation of something for imitation, comparison or analysis, often on a different scale. (verb) To simulate, make or construct something to help visualize or learn about something else (such as a product, process or system).
|A seismic pressure wave that travel through the body of the Earth. The fastest of all seismic waves.
|A surface seismic wave generated by the interaction of P-waves and S-waves at the surface of the Earth that move with a rolling motion.
|A shear or transverse body seismic wave, with motion perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
|A wave of energy that travels through the Earth as a result of an earthquake.
|A device for shaking structural models or building components. The movement simulates the ground motions of earthquakes. Also called a shaking table.
|Imitating the behavior of some situation or process, especially for the purpose of study or experimental testing.
|A seismic wave that travels across the surface of the Earth as opposed to through it. Surface waves usually have larger amplitudes and longer wavelengths than body waves, and they travel more slowly than body waves.
- Gather materials and make copies of the Shake It Up! Activity Worksheet.
- Build the teacher's shake table that uses a variable speed drill to create the shaking movement. Or, if you do not want to build the drill-powered shake table, at the end, have the class select the best shake table from all the groups and use that one for the earthquake challenge.
- Show students the available materials. Point out that this project follows the steps of the engineering design process: understand the need (requirements, objective), brainstorm different design solutions, select the most promising design, plan (strategy, drawings, measurements, materials), create and test, and improve to make the best solution possible.
- Identify a few design requirements:
- For the shake tables, a wooden board must serve as a base that can move around to simulate the ground movement during an earthquake. The goal is to create shake tables that move in ways that resemble the different types of seismic waves. For example, movement could be the back and forth motion of a P-wave or a more destructive rocking type movement representing a surface wave. Also design a way to control the shake table from outside of the box (so your hands are not in the box where the model building will be located).
- The model buildings must be made only from toothpicks and marshmallows, and be at least one-foot (.3 m) tall. (Consider imposing a materials limitation to make the project more challenging.) Its base will be taped to the wooden board for testing.
- Hand out the worksheets to students. Give them time to independently design and draw their shake tables and buildings, as instructed on page 1 of the worksheet. If possible, assign this as homework the night before so students have a chance to develop their own ideas before coming together in teams to determine the most promising designs.
- Divide the class into groups of three or four students each.
- Ask students in each group to brainstorm ideas, starting by sharing their individual ideas. Have each team choose one design to construct for its shake table. In the spirit of true brainstorming, encourage teams to combine and compromise their ideas to come up with creative solutions. (Review brainstorming guidelines at http://www.cs.unb.ca/profs/fritz/cs3503/storm35.htm.)
- Provide students with materials and give them time to construct their shake tables—a minimum of 30 minutes for construction is suggested.
- Once shake tables are completed, have groups brainstorm ideas for their model building structures that use only mini marshmallows and toothpicks as the materials. Require that the buildings be at least one-foot (.3 m) tall. Have teams each agree upon a final design that they will construct.
- Give students time to construct their model buildings, and then use their own shake tables to test and modify (improve) the designs. Point out that the testing-improving-testing process is an important part of the bigger engineering design process. That's how weaknesses are discovered and problems solved—before you have an actual earthquake! Emphasize that in the upcoming earthquake challenge they will have only one chance to put their final building designs through a "real earthquake" test to see if they survive, so they must be certain that their buildings are survivable. What works? What doesn't? What could be improved? Test, test, test!
- Earthquake Challenge: Once teams have one-foot tall structures and are satisfied with their stability and robustness, put the structures through a one-minute simulated earthquake challenge in which every team uses the same shaker table—either the teacher's shake table (that uses a variable speed drill to shake the table), or the best of the teams' shake tables, as agreed-upon by the class.
- Have one student use a stopwatch to time how long each building survives the earthquake simulation. Remind groups to be ready to record the length of time their buildings lasted, the end building heights, as well as observations about how the building structures behaved under the shaking conditions. Have students watch all team tests to gather observations that they will use to finish the worksheet questions.
- Failure: If the building collapses or any part of the building besides its base touches the shake table, consider it failed, and note the time and stop the shake table. The building is not earthquake-safe for people. Once the shake table is off, measure the height of the building.
- Success: If the building survives for a full minute and is still one-foot tall, consider it a success—the group has engineered a solution to the challenge and is "hired" to design real buildings for their community. Record measurements and observations.
- Have students complete the concluding worksheet questions, incorporating what they learned from observing their own and other groups' model building behavior under seismic stress. Have them draw conclusions about the relationship between the appearance of the structure and its building strategies, and its performance. If time permits, lead a class discussion using the concluding questions (see the Investigating Questions section) so students can hear each others' opinions and ideas.
Safety Issues
- Review safety precautions for using glue guns and box cutters.
Troubleshooting Tips
Investigating Questions
- Which types of seismic waves did your shake table imitate (simulate)? Explain the movements and speeds. Explain how it does this.
- Describe what happens to your building when you test it on your shake table.
- How long did your building last through the "earthquake"?
- Describe what happened to your building while it was going through the "earthquake."
- Based on what you noticed from your group and other groups, which designs and strategies worked the best?
- Why do you think this particular type of design worked the best?
- Bonus question: How did the ability of your shake table to accurately represent seismic waves help in the evolution of your building design?
- Bonus question: Think back and describe in your own words the steps of the engineering design process that you went through.
Activity Extensions
Activity Scaling
- For lower grades or younger students, skip the team construction of shake tables altogether. Give students the challenge of building a structure that is at least 1 foot tall with only mini marshmallows and toothpicks, and only have them test on a common shake table provided by the teacher. Allow students to create more than one structure so they have the opportunity to radically alter their designs and recognize building strategies that work best. Also, provide different materials, such as gum drops, pipe cleaners or dry spaghetti, so they can test to see if some materials work better than others.
- For upper grades or older students, offer more advanced materials for the team shake table construction, such as foam core board, wood, saws, drills and drill bits, and drills to power them. If desired, make the objective of the activity to create shake tables that most accurately represent a given seismic wave type or one that proves to be the most destructive . To test which shake table is the most destructive, have students each follow a set of instructions to build the same building. Then time how long it takes for each shake table to destroy the building, with the goal to have the lowest time.

Both babes left their blond locks loose and curly and kept their accessories simple for their ensemble.
While Heather picked black strappy heels to complete her look, The Hills villainess opted for nude peep-toe pumps.
It looks like Heather went sans underwear and Kristin wore a flesh-colored coverup underneath, but it's tough to say.
Who do you think wore this racy little black dress best? Sound off below.
