Sara Crewe is the 1888 serialized story Frances Hodgson Burnett eventually turned into the popular novel A Little Princess, which was published in 1915. Much of the plot is the same, a little girl with a wealthy father is left at a boarding school in London, while he goes abroad. Sara is a charming and popular girl whose fortunes reverse when her father dies, apparently without money. Sarah is treated cruelly by the headmistress of the school, but her fortunes take another turn when a watchful neighbor takes an interest in her.

Sugar to Stay High as China, Indonesia Buy More, ISO Says
World sugar prices may range between 23 cents and 28 cents a pound as China, the second-biggest user, and Indonesia increase imports, draining a global surplus of 4 million metric tons, the International Sugar Organization said.
The market may have a "a technical blip" to 30 cents, Executive Director Peter Baron said in an interview in the Philippines. The raw variety averaged 12.78 cents in New York over the past 10 years and ended at 27.84 cents on Aug. 12.
High prices may bring little relief for central bankers and policy makers struggling to cool global inflation. Sugar, corn and cooking oils helped push the United Nations World Food Price Index to a record in February, while in June the gauge stayed near an all-time high, potentially worsening the lives of the 1.1 billion the World Bank says live on less than $1 per day.
"Even this surplus is probably not enough to be taken by importers to replenish their stocks, without increasing prices considerably," Baron said in Cebu yesterday.
Indonesia may purchase 2.6 million tons, overtaking Russia as the third-largest buyer after the U.S. and the European Union, he said. China may purchase 2.5 million tons in the year from October, exceeding its usual import quota of 1.9 million tons.
"We already have corn and sugar with the best fundamentals," Paul Deane, an agribusiness economist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., said from Melbourne on Aug. 12. They "will keep global food prices close to their highs," he said in an interview.
Indonesian Demand
Indonesia's purchases may be bigger than Baron's forecast. The nation is forecast to buy 2.841 million tons, from 2.482 million tons a year ago, Faruk Bakrie, chairman of the Indonesian Sugar Association, said at a conference in Cebu today.
The raw variety has climbed 36 percent from this year's low in May on concern that production in Brazil, which represents about half of global exports, will decline more than forecast.
The crop in Brazil's Center South, the world's largest producing region, will total 31.6 million tons from a July 13 estimate of 32.4 million tons, Sao Paulo-based Unica, a sugar-cane industry association, said Aug. 11.
The ISO's 4 million-ton surplus included a drop in Brazil's total output to 38.5 million tons from about 40 million tons, and increases in harvests in Thailand and India, which may help meet rising import demand of countries seeking to rebuild their stockpiles, Baron said.
Thai Output
Thailand's output may slip from a record 9.64 million tons to 9.5 million tons in the year from November after flooding and excessive rains in some parts of the country, and drier-than-normal weather in other parts, cut cane yields, Rangsit Hiangrat, director at the Office of the Cane and Sugar Board, said today.
The estimate of Thai exports will be formalized as cane harvesting progresses, he said. Still, the nation will remain a major supplier even with the dip in output, he said.
India, the world's second-largest producer, may boost output to 26 million tons in the 2011-2012 season, from 24.2 million tons a year earlier, Abinash Verma, director-general of the Indian Sugar Mills Association, said at the conference.
The nation may have a 4 million-ton surplus and "large quantities" may be exported as producers seek higher returns after local prices fell below international rates, Verma said. India has the world's second-lowest sugar price, he said.
The group is surveying cane acreage through satellite mapping and, if the result confirms their output forecast of 26 million tons, it will submit the finding to the government and ask officials to set an export target by December, Verma said.
Global Inventories
Global sugar inventories may take two years to be rebuilt after demand outpaced supplies in the past two seasons, Sergey Gudoshnikov, senior economist at the ISO, said July 26. Smaller crops in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 left a deficit of 15 million tons, Gudoshnikov estimated.
The ISO forecast for the 2011-2012 surplus, which Baron said is the organization's first based on supply and demand from more than 150 countries, compares with predictions of 9.8 million tons from Rabobank International, 5 million tons from Macquarie Group Ltd. and 10.3 million tons from Czarnikow Sugar Futures Ltd.
Kingsman SA, the Lausanne, Switzerland-based brokerage, said July 25 the surplus in 2011-2012 may be 2 million tons smaller than its May estimate of 10.575 million tons, as the crop in Brazil will be less than initially estimated.

These muffins are loaded with granola, coconut and lots of bananas in these Banana Crunch Muffins that are sure to become a favorite!
Photo Updated July 2013
Originally published July 21, 2008: I'm always looking for more ways to use those ripe bananas up, and this one from the archives is great! In fact, you may want to let those bananas get ripe just for this recipe!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again – I wish I could participate in all of the "foodie" events out there! It seems like every week an event is announced, and I promise myself that I will participate, but then time gets away from me. This happens way more often than I'd like to admit.
Ever since I heard about Ruth's event – Bookmarked Recipes – I knew it would be a great event for me to participate in. I'm the queen of bookmarking recipes!! But then, just like every other great event, time has been getting away from me, and I haven't had a chance to participate yet. I'm changing that now!!
I've mentioned before that I've been designated to make the treats for birthdays at work. Well, we had one a few weeks ago – on July 3rd. We only had a half day at work that day, so we decided to do a birthday breakfast instead of treats after lunch, since we would all be leaving at lunch. I was asked to make some muffins to contribute. I knew I'd be able to find a great recipe in one of my cookbooks, but I decided to hit my bookmarked recipes to find one. I went through my recipes marked as "muffins", and one title – Banana Crunch Muffins – stood out to me. And I actually had some on-their-way-out bananas at home. I clicked on the link, but it no longer existed! Then I realized that the blog it was bookmarked from – Mommy Cooks – (which I've mentioned recipes from several times) no longer existed. Luckily, Elizabeth, the writer of Mommy Cooks, started up a new blog – The Flowering Dogwood. So I went over to her new blog to see if she had re-posted the Banana Crunch Muffin recipe. As luck would have it, she had just posted about these muffins that same day I went looking!
These muffins were delicious! I was expecting more of a "crunch" with the granola, and I didn't really get that, but it did add another layer of flavor and texture. I had some dried bananas that I topped mine with, but they would be great sprinkled with some extra granola as well. And they were a hit at work!
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 extra-large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 bananas)
- 1 cup medium-diced ripe bananas (1 banana)
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup granola cereal
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- dried banana pieces
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 18 large or 28 regular muffin tins with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add in the melted butter and mix.
- In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla and mashed bananas. Mix into the bowl with the flour, just until combined. (Do not overmix.)
- Fold in the diced banana, walnuts, granola and coconut.
- Fill the prepared muffin cups with the batter. Top each muffin with a dried banana chip.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Sure, Michael Macfarlane is going to lose to John Yarmuth harder than anyone before him.
But let's take a look at some of the crazy crap he had to say Monday night on KET.
Let's ignore all the unspecific nonsense he rattled off about health care that wasn't based in reality and focus on his… well… just watch this excerpt:
Mmm hmm. Those people. They. Them. Breeding.
That's the ticket, GOP. Keep it up.
If you have the stomach for it, go watch the entire hour-long program.
In related news, this is how Macfarlane is trying to spin things:
Blaming the dying newspaper for his unfortunate racist language.
The last time we ripped apart one of Eric Flack's (WAVE3) stories, we stopped short of calling his work absolutely terrible. Yes, good reporters can do terrible work.
So let's do that now: Eric Flack is doing terrible work and ought to be replaced when his contract is up. Because he's doing terrible work and edges on being a generally awful, unethical reporter. Goodness knows WAVE has replaced better reporters for lesser reasons on countless occasions.
From filing open records requests on family members (that's why we redacted the person's name – it was a relative!) under the guise of researching Jefferson County Public Schools to pulling things out of his rear end? Well, it's time to completely write the dude off as serious.
He's trying to play the role of JCPS expert while having no business covering the school system. He's trying to discuss an audit (along with re-hyping the bogus story we hit him on the last time) from Adam Edelen that hasn't even begun to be wrapped up. He's going out of his way on social media to create hype where there is none. To Edelen's credit, he's tried to calm him down.
But the latest move by Flack to appear on 84WHAS to trash talk is ridiculous. Flack appeared on-air with Mandy Connell's replacement, Leland Conway – someone who has been pretty loud in the state about trashing public education. More to the point: he's one of those religious charter tea school folks. Flack provided his opinion on several issues and went so far as to make claims about the Jefferson County Teachers Association meddling in snow days. Claims so absurd that JCTA called in to the show to correct him.
We'll overlook the nonsensical rant Flack went on about families losing money because they have to reschedule vacations due to snow. Let's focus on a bit of what he said about JCPS and JCTA:
Conway: There's not even a willingness to look at trying to be flexible for the sake of appearances.
Flack: There are union issues here at work. I don't know the ins and outs of em and I don't … we have a very, very strong teachers' union here … that doesn't just necessarily agree to everything that the school district wants to do. Just because it might be in the best interest of scheduling.
Teachers work a long time and they're not necessarily open to being kept longer just because that exactly what would be best for the schedule.
Conway: That's interesting because in yours and my world, if you get called in to do storm coverage, LAUGHTER, we gotta show up. MORE LAUGHTER
Flack: That's true, that's true. But, the, the, the union, the teachers' union world is a little bit different. And they, they have a strong negotiating power and they have a big say when it comes to work.
Conway: Which I think is at the expense of the parents. Listen, I found the story interesting and that's why I called you. Because I just thought, you know, there's a lot of, it sounds, on the surface you go, "Aw, wah wah, somebody's vacation." But when you think about it, when you start talking about booking to Florida or some families might book a cruise or some families might want to go somewhere, you've gotta do that way out in advance, especially in today's economy to save a few bucks here and there.
It actually is a pretty big deal and if these families are getting hit with 5, 600 bucks they weren't expecting because, you know, we're inflexible and uncreative, I find a problem with that on behalf of the taxpayers.
Flack: Absolutely and, you know, it's, it's unfortunate, it's putting a real wrench into peoples', uh, plans. And, you know, travel insurance won't even, basic travel insurance doesn't even help in situations like this because it's basically not covered.
The call ended and Conway went on a rant:
Conway: If you've got a union that's standing in the way of common sense solutions, is it pretty hard for you to wrap your head around the fact that in some cases they're not really keeping you, the taxpayer, the funder of their salaries, the, the, the customer on the customer end, they're not keeping you in mind? Because they don't want to work a little later?
Because, like I said, in Raleigh, North Carolina, … they're doing school on Saturdays. That, that, that is, in, in, the thing about that is, is that that displaces parents and teachers. It's kind of a hey, we're a community, come together, we didn't expect this this winter, so let's figure it out. Everybody's got skin in the game. Parents don't necessarily want to give up their Saturdays to take Little Johnny to school and neither do the kids. But you gotta do it or else everybody gets inconvenienced at the end of the year.
Bottom line is: The reason why they cancel school at the drop of the hat – there's some safety concerns included but they're gonna tell you it's all safety – it's not all safety. If 90% of the roads are clear but 10% are not, they don't get the funding for the 10% of kid they don't pick up in the bus. That's part of what goes into the snow days decision. They're not gonna like me saying that but it's the truth.
The show went on break and when it returned, Conway made the typical global warming-denying teabagger commentary and promptly got back on the anti-union wagon.
He also took a few calls. One of them was from DeeAnn Flaherty, Executive Director of JCTA:
Conway: Thanks for callin in, whattya got?
Flaherty: I'd actually heard that Eric Flack had basically kinda laid the blame at our feet in terms of saying that we were inflexible, um, and, that's really not the truth.
In, In terms of the calendar, the school board controls the calendar. They determine makeup days and they determine, um, if you realize a couple weeks ago, they voted in, in, to take the days in February and things like that. Um, we have never been approached officially about going longer hours. We were approached um, what I would say, "Well, hey, you know, what about something like this?" And we said, well, you know, we might be able to make something like that work. Like that other teacher said.
We have a lot of teachers that might prefer to go longer in the day than to go longer into the summer. Because it's not just the parents that you're talking about with vacation plans. We have teachers with vacation plans.
Conway: So you guys are more flexible than maybe the, uh, the, the school board is making it seem.
Flaherty: I don't even know if it's really the school board that's making it out that we're unflexible (sic). Um, you know, I apologize, I was actually phoned and told that this conversation was happening and that we were being, uh, called out as being, um, uh, unflexible(sic). And so, um, all I heard was that, uh, that the school board had said that, you know, that the law doesn't allow it.
I can't speak to that, I'm, I'm driving in my vehicle right now so I couldn't really look up the law for you. But, if it's a possibility, we don't, we don't ever turn our noses to anything to try to make things easier.
Conway: What do you think of the way, like, and I gave the example of I've got family in Raleigh, North Carolina and they had obviously less snow days than us but the most, they had like a record number of snow days – seven – which is like, we'd be like, oh, that's fine. … It's a really big deal for them and so what they did is they're going to Saturday school, um, for like the next seven weeks to try to make it up.
Is that something you guys would consider either, you know, as an either or partly we'll do an extra hour a day or we'll do an extra day a week or whatever. Is that something you guys would be willing to have laid on the table to avoid screwing up everybody's vacation?
Flaherty: You know, something like that, that's a big deal. It would be something that, and I know it's, it's a lot of people think that we operate in a void and that we don't actually check with our members on issues, that would be something that we would, we would take to our membership and say, "Hey, what do you all think about this?" So, I mean, again, we're not shutting the door to anything.
Conway: Let me ask you a question because I remember a couple weeks ago – we're talking to DeeAnn, she is, uh, the executive director of the teachers association – it, something perked my interest a couple weeks ago, there was a news story floatin around about how the JCPS board had met and they were havin to decide, um, you know, what to do about snow days and all that kinda stuff. And I thought, it's kind of interesting, it fascinated me that we had this big meeting to make a decision about whether or not we were gonna use snow days that were already available to us.
Is, are you guys a part of that process or did they just —
Flaherty: No.
Conway: Okay, that seems odd. That seems like you ought to be a part, the teachers ought to be a part of it and then we would be able to work these things out. Everybody would be in the same room together.
Flaherty: … Let me clarify that. In terms of, obviously, we don't have a vote at the table. Um, we, uh, they do, they will ask our opinion, "what do you think about this?" and what we try to do is, we try to give them the good, the bad and the ugly. But ultimately, in terms of the final decisions that are made, the calendar belongs to the school board.
Conway: Yeah, that's interesting.
Uh, you know, just basic reporting that Flack could have and should have done before getting on the radio to run his mouth with Mandy Connell Junior. Which is exactly what he did in an attempt to show some sort of bizarre prowess.
Snark and innuendo is fine when you're communicating as a columnist. But Flack appeared on the radio under the guise of journalism and WAVE3 News. If this were Toni Konz of the Courier-Journal editorializing and making inaccurate claims? Gannett would have fired her a couple days ago.
No wonder we hear through the grapevine that JCTA (an organization we love to hate here, mostly because of Brent McKim) was considering a lawsuit on behalf of one of its teachers for the way Flack treated them during his ridiculous travel story.
The bad reporting just won't quit.
A Jeffersonville couple catches a pair of thieves in the act, and now they want the entire neighborhood to know about it. Their solution — what's being called the Tree of Shame. [WDRB]
Embattled school bus contractor Commonwealth Bus Service and Transportation will be closing its doors Nov. 30, company president Mary Dunaway told Jefferson County Public Schools in a hand-signed letter. [C-J/AKN]
Louisville Metro Police are investigating after two separate overnight shootings in Louisville. [WHAS11]
Here's how Congress is making sure poor Americans are going to stay cold this winter. [HuffPo]
Remember when WDRB did this very story a couple weeks ago about GPS ankle bracelets and the jail? Turns out these folks decided to copy it. Because that's original and exactly what the public needs. [WLKY]
Way to go, Frankfort, for being even more terrible than anyone thought possible. A central Kentucky high school principal says a new interpretation of a state regulation on school-related trips is partly to blame for the cancellation of a trip to Washington, D.C. [H-L]
The North Oldham Fire Protection District is looking for whoever dredged up an offensive posting on social media. The district has launched an investigation into the online comment that involved one of its assistant fire chiefs. [WAVE3]
Mitch McConnell says that the filibuster change is all about health care. Unfortunately, that's not the case. It's all about HIM. [TPM]
The New Albany council opposes Indiana's gay marriage ban amendment. A resolution was approved 7-1-1 to take a stand on the controversial legislation. [News & Tribune]
Just the news Louisville needs: a story about Greg Fischer's holiday turkey. [WFPL]
As gamblers enjoy more options, Churchill Downs is feeling the squeeze. It's canceling two races as growing competition draws away fans. [Business First]
Leave it to an entertainment reporter or whatever (WTF, Gabe Bullard? How can you allow a staffer to do a story about LMAS without mentioning ongoing scandals?) to totally miss the mark in a Metro Animal Services story:
Louisville Metro Animal Services has gone six months without a permanent director, but Mayor Greg Fischer isn't in a rush to fill the post.
Since Justin Scally left in May, Animal Services has been led by Maragret Brosko and Donald Robinson.
Fischer spokesman Chris Poynter says the "good job" the interim leadership team has bought the mayor time to find a full-time director.
"Things have been going so smoothly under Margaret and under Donald, we're not in any rush to make a bad decision on hiring another director," Poynter says.
He says he can't rule out the mayor deciding to make the interim leadership team permanent.
Everything is puppies & rainbows!
We're just praying for them to make Brosko permanent.
Because that means there will be yet another mess we have to force Fischer's hand on.
It's considered crude to discuss, but what is often flushed down the toilet was bubbling up out of the manhole covers in the New Broadmoor subdivision Sunday after heavy rains caused flooding in parts of Louisville. [WDRB]
Really? People in Louisville are surprised to find out that Leland Conway is as racist and ignorant as that clump of brain dead meat Mandy Connell? Please. She was apologizing for Mark Foley even after he admitted to his scandal. And she spent her entire time in Louisville attempting to further divide this already segregated city. That timeslot died with Francene. [Joe Gerth]
Torrential downpours caused major flooding in the metro area. [WHAS11]
Kentucky is emerging as the primary battlefield in the war between Republicans and Democrats over President Barack Obama's health care law. [H-L]
The crazy ass rain even caused all the fun at St. James to close early. [WLKY]
Investors in Yum! Brands Inc., which operates KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, might get a stronger sense of how the company's China unit is doing as earnings results are released this week. [Business First]
When you hear the record breaking totals, we must also remember those record breaking totals bring along with them heart break. [Dawne Gee]
It's probably because they despise their hot mess of a mayor. Nearly 20 percent of Jeffersonville residents haven't paid their sewer bills for at least a year. [News & Tribune]
Amid a banner year for the University of Louisville's athletics program, some players and parents were seeking out the administration, angry about a coach whose tactics they say crossed the line. [C-J/AKN]
Have a lot of stuff ruined by the flood? Metro Gubmint can probably pick it up for you. [Click the Clicky]
Some Louisville-area residents have begun assessing and cleaning up flood damage to homes and other property. [WFPL]
Here's some of her goodbye message as she departs for Denver:
For me, this experience defies explanation in the best possible way. The people of Louisville are simply the best. The. Best. Warmest, kindest, most open and caring community I've ever seen. I tell my friends who are incredulous that I live in Kentucky that Louisville is the most surprising city I've ever been in. So much to do, so many amazing restaurants, a strong sense of community, and caring and generosity of both spirit and funds. Being a part of the Crusade for Children has been wonderful. That very special event is and will always remain unique to Louisville, because Louisville doesn't forget it's past. I met someone when I was new to the area who had moved away after college and moved back years later, and he told me once you live here, you want to come back. It's as if Louisville sings the song of a siren that follows you when you leave and pulls you back…happily.
I didn't quite get it then, but I get it now.
Someone else will be hired to do this job. Please be kind and give them a chance! I would remind many of you that when I arrived, many were not happy. I was not Francene, would never be Francene, and you were not happy. I have the emails to prove this, lest you be in denial. But it worked out. You got used to me. I settled in. So I ask you to give the next host a chance. You will get used to them. They will settle in. You may even like them better! Seriously, it could happen. I hope it does, because I love this audience that much!
She's right. Many of us didn't like her when she got here, though we gave her several chances. And many of us are glad she's leaving.
Why? Let's take a stroll down racist lady memory lane:
As you can see, we welcomed her initially. We defended her for a while. Then she continued to step in the crazy, the hateful, the ridiculous. The worst? She embraced racism, embraced her own anti-semitic comments (and continued to attack John Yarmuth after the whole snafu), played the victim all along.
We knew you were a hot mess when you first told the story about how you were defending your friend, Mark Foley, as he was admitting to that congressional page incident. Don't let the door hit you on your purposefully ignorant, racist-baiting, anti-semitic ass, Mandy.

Nevermind that the PS3, despite being in 3rd, still has a chunk of the market as well. And that's just consoles. Also: hasn't *everyone* been selling less numbers? Again that's just consoles. #4 Agree(15) | Disagree(5) | Report | Reply mandf + 1347d ago Godmars290 You should know by now most of game journalists just make up stuff on the fly most of the time. #4.1 Agree(7) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Citizen_King + 1347d ago They are trying to pass American numbers as Worldwide again... #4.2 Agree(11) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply egidem + 1347d ago Read my mind. They're talking about US/NA numbers, which of course, doesn't represent the whole world. For example, let's compare it to a region where the Xbox is doing really bad, say Japan. #4.2.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(2) | Report timotim + 1347d ago They are talking revenue generated on the project. Xbox 360, its games, subscription charges, digital downloads and peripherals at retail and online. #4.3 Agree(3) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply user5467007 + 1347d ago It's a GAMES console Microsoft...A GAMES CONSOLE If you aren't interested in the games industry anymore and you want out why don't you admit it. The only reason they havent left yet and are turning the Xbox into a media hub is because they don't want to leave the audience they've built up over the years behind, not knowing (or ignoring) that most of their audience are gamers and don't care about this sort of stuff. I mean trying to change the games industry into something which goes against "gaming" for their own greedy needs is disrespectful to gamers who have followed them since the Xbox. Least when Sony marketed the PS3 as a media hub with it's main blu ray feature back in 2006 it was presented as that. Now they don't need to worry about it anymore since they had a plan from the beginging and are focusing on the games...you know what make a console. Honestly I don't understand MS sometimes. #5 Agree(19) | Disagree(6) | Report | Reply Godmars290 + 1347d ago By the time the PS3 had been announce, Sony had established several healthy in-house developers. With XBox1 was simply looking - expecting - 3rd parties to flock to them on name alone. When they didn't that's when they opened their wallet. @cstyle: How doesn't the same apply to MS on their first attempt at a console? Sony at least had the benefit of Nintendo's licensing fees and the cheap space CDs gave with the PS1. MS came in arrogant. Still are if you look XBL fees and several things they've done in regards to MMOs and first releases. The whole 47% they're pulling out of their butt. #5.1 (Edited 1347d ago ) | Agree(7) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply cstyle + 1347d ago "3rd parties to flock to them on name alone".

DVD quality material looks like crap on HD screens. X360 has no streaming services in my country and most of the world. Same for 70% of Live features. I'd have to pay the same price for 30% of service? Keep to your US and UK territories MS. With a policy like that you'll be always last in sales in the rest of the world. #12 Agree(11) | Disagree(6) | Report | Reply Bladesfist + 1347d ago and my HDD is faster at reading and writing than a blu ray drive. Does that make blu ray ancient? After this next console I expect it all to go digital as there are no real downsides except the people who say "I like having a box". -Better for the environment -Fatser Read/Write times makes loading faster -Unlimited shelf space for games (Meaning older games are still stocked) -The above brings a longer life cycle to your game. -No switching disks or disks getting damaged -Game updates are downloaded along with the game. #12.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(11) | Report | Reply thebudgetgamer + 1347d ago Console manufacturers would be extremely stupid to try that, the first thing that will happen is losing retail support. The Targets of the world don't make money on hardware so if you take the games away they got no way of earning. #12.1.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(3) | Report Bladesfist + 1347d ago Every retailer makes money on hardware or they will not stock it (Sony and MS may not). Gaming going digital is inevitable, just like TV, Music, Movies. To disagree is naive, the retail entertainment industry is already going to the dogs. Digital allows for a bigger cut of the money to go to the developers as they do not need to pay a publisher to create 10 million discs. This means you will have more independent games as well. #12.1.2 (Edited 1347d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(2) | Report Hicken + 1346d ago "I like having a box."What that REALLY means is, "I like having a solid, verifiable version of what I own." A lot of good it does you to "own" a car when the manufacturer can take the keys away whenever they want. Why is it that people who are proponents to all-digital gaming are so doggedly adamant on denying that there ARE real issues to be worked out first? If the servers hosting the games go down, you have nothing. Your files can be corrupted far more easily than a disc, if the amount of care you put into them is the same. HDD space is limited, and you'll have to keep upgrading or delete older stuff, instead of just putting an old game in storage somewhere out of the way. And all this predicates on having accessible and reliable internet for the majority of gamers, which we can't say will be true even in ten years. Seriously, think these things through first, especially before you start belittling someone else's argument for being flimsy. #12.1.3 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report the worst + 1347d ago its never going to work as long as you have to pay for xboxlive #13 Agree(5) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply iNFAMOUZ1 + 1347d ago love my live its my escape from reality with ALL my friends #14 Agree(0) | Disagree(6) | Report | Reply tweet75 + 1347d ago i say i want a gaming console for gaming. I got other devices to take care of the other things. #15 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Hicken + 1347d ago Well, for one, it's not gonna connect to my Vita or PS3, which are already entertainment hubs of their own. For another, they seem to be losing sight of the primary focus of their device: playing games. Yes, they have some fine XBLA titles, which are completely useless to anyone without internet, as opposed to the potential availability of the nonexistent retail versions. And they have a handful of very nice franchises to look forward to each year, along with dozens that are just rotting away. And, as the worst says above, you'll never be able to truly convince people(fanboys don't count) that your device is an entertainment hub if you're charging them right along with all the other fees. #16 Agree(4) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply yeahokchief + 1347d ago Then perhaps they shouldn't have made such a shoddy console that dies so often. #17 Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply BitbyDeath + 1347d ago Blu-ray addon announcement incoming? #18 Agree(0) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Omnislash + 1346d ago SO lets say I want to be entertained by Video games can I use my PS3? #19 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

Hey there! My name is Caroline and I am an intermediate rider preparing for my first horse trials It is in three weeks and I am still without my Tall Black Boots!! Unfortunately, we live quite a while from the nearest dover saddlery and the soonest possible date I could receive my boots is in a little under a week. This would only leave enough time for me to ride in them twice before trials. Any advice on how to safely break in boots without actually riding in them? I have heard of the water method but I don't think I'm quite brave enough to submerge my new $$$$ Tall Black Boots in a bath tub. Thank you in advance : )
And PS... any other advice you could throw my way about program riding, cross country, stadium jumping and anything else horse trials related would be amazing!!

cat inks by MarioChavezWatch
©2009-2016 MarioChavez
commissioned piece. was originally a sketch, client wanted a color version so here's the inked stage. doesnt it just suck having to work when your sick? blech...
so cute!!
this is really cute
It has a clarity and elegance in B&W, but its the color that will make it bold and attention getting by giving it depth and texture. I do agree it is rather interesting this way.
Excellent. Great curves and inkwork. Should leave it that way...!
Inks look wicked and I hope you feel better soon.
Love the cityscape!
You know this could lead into somethin else XD Awsome work here
I really love how you draw cat woman! I also you what ya mean when drawing when your sick I've got a sore throat ><. And when you say color are you going to air brush this pic?
hmm... wasnt thinking about using the airbrush. mostly pencils and marker. but now that you mention it. i'll probably throw in a few highlights with the badger
Ah i see! Hey I have just one question..who is one of your fav characters that you have drawn?
hmmm.. interesting question. not sure if i have a favorite. it changes so often depending on what the buyer wants. but looking in my sketch book, there's just a lot of random drawings of girls. there's one I tend to draw often though, this really short hair french character i call fifi. always has a cig in her hand ( not sure why, i hate smoking!)
May i see fifi? I want to draw gift art for you because your nice. Also with the smoking i agree with you i hate it..but smoking is sometimes is a sexy for some people i think...like Jessica Rabbit for instance she smokes and people thinks its sexy.

The bridge is the so called longest bridge in the world, which is part of Beijing-Shanghai express railway start from Danyang JIangsu Province and end to Kunshan Suzhou, Jiangsu Province in China. In my mind, it actually more like a viaduct than bridge. For a 168KM long bridge, it's hard to have full view shot.

Spied: 2009 Corvette ZR1 Running the 'Ring
It's been a while since we used the word "Spied" and "ZR1" in a headline, but that is exactly what was caught on the Nordschleife portion of the Nürburgring in Germany last week. BridgeToGantry.com photographed the Blue Devil sporting a most interesting exterior color as it put its 620 horses to ground on one of the most famous road courses in the world.
Edmunds.com has an exclusive video of the Corvette ZR1 at Nürburgring. The report is that ZR1 is turning laps in the low "1:40s" (Don't they mean 7:40s?) and times should improve as the track conditions have been a bit on the damp side.
GM has an "Any Time Any Where" mentality when it comes to running the Corvette ZR1 on public tracks, having shocked the auto world back in October with a couple of hotlaps around Laguna Seca. Corvette's Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter boasts the ZR1 will beat the track record for production cars at any road course in the world. It's no doubt that the ZR1 has something to prove – can she compete with the fastest production cars to lap the 'ring? Corvette Racing's Jan Magnussen lapped the track in a Corvette Z06 back in 2005 with a time of 7:42.9. Nissan GT-R claimed a best lap time of 7:38.54 back in September 2007 while a Porsche Carrera GT lapped the 'ring back in 2004 with a time of 7:28.
This story is about to go global with ramifications from Nürburg to Detroit and points in between. As official lap times are released, CorvetteBlogger.com will have them here for you.

Great Video. Thankls for posting it!
Is that color a variation of the "Atomic Orange"?
Alex Nelsen
I do believe the Corvette to be Atomic Orange after looking at it closely and seeing some anaylsis on it. AO Corvettes can look to be have different shades depending on the lighting and as it was overcast and raining, it's not lit up like it would be in the sun.
We also know that the only new Corvette colors coming up in 2009 are the Cyber Grey and a new silver so it almost has to be Atomic Orange.
Thanks for visiting and I appreciate your comments!
The ZR1 is an amazing car, no doubt, but sorry vette lovers, it's still gonna lose to the Nissan GTR. Ask the Blue Devil guys what happened last time the GTR and ZR1 were at the ring!

Small extension node
Prior to the advent of the satellite based Joint Network Node (JNN), the United States Army used a system known as Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) in order to provide tactical battlefield communications. MSE is a Line-Of-Sight (LOS) terrestrial based communications system limited by terrain and distance. MSE is still in use in limited quantities.
The small extension node (SEN) is part of a US military communication system known as mobile subscriber equipment (MSE). A SEN is composed of two shelters, a switching shelter and a Line of sight radio terminal shelter(LOS)
A SEN switching shelter contains switching, multiplexing, and communications security (COMSEC) equipment for secure digital voice and data communications. A single switching shelter is mounted on the back of a HMMWV, powered is provided by a 10 kW diesel generator, and the SEN is operated by up to a six soldier team. To provide communications for a Corps area the Signal Battalion would deploy forty SEN's, amongst Node Centers, Large Extension Nodes, and Radio Access Units.
The current switch is designated AN/TTC-48, with a suffix to identify each of the ten versions in operation - (V)1, V(2), A(V)1, A(V)2, B(V)1, B(V)2, C(V)1, C(V)2, C(V)3, and C(V)4. The (V)1 provides 26 digital lines and 10-digital trunks and the (V)2 provides 41 digital lines and 13-digital trunks. Both versions interface at various levels with the MSE Area Communication Systems through cable, via line of sight or via tactical satellite terminal.

It costs a lot of money driving into New York City through the Hudson River tunnels or over the George Washington Bridge, and subways and cabs certainly aren't free. So you can't fault tourists who assume they have to pay to ride the free Staten Island Ferry — but more than $200 per ticket? [More]

Top 5 Mistakes Tourists Make In Lisbon
Before you hit Lisbon, the beautiful capital of Portugal, on your next tourist jaunt, be sure to apprise yourself of these 5 common mistakes tourists make, says the Go Lisbon Blog.

Locational Conflict and Ideas of Nature: Citizen Reactions to Park-Making Efforts Along the Los Angeles RiverEPA Grant Number: U916174
Title: Locational Conflict and Ideas of Nature: Citizen Reactions to Park-Making Efforts Along the Los Angeles River
Investigators: Kahle, Chris
Institution: University of Southern California
EPA Project Officer: Boddie, Georgette
Project Period: January 1, 2003 through January 1, 2006
Project Amount: $127,873
RFA: STAR Graduate Fellowships (2003) Recipients Lists
Research Category: Academic Fellowships , Fellowship - Geography , Ecological Indicators/Assessment/Restoration
The objective of this research project is to study citizen reactions to park-making efforts along the Los Angeles River. Urban areas are experiencing increased land-use pressure with new in-fill development projects. Open-space development is at a disadvantage because people perceive that it generates no tax or job benefits, though some research has demonstrated that it provides a range of positive health and community benefits. As open-space development projects move forward, conflicts over design and function have become more common as more stakeholders become engaged to the land transformation process. Conflict boils down to what kind of parks get built and for whom?Approach:
This research examines efforts to green the Los Angeles River through a case study analysis of a variety of "riverworks" that represent the range of geographic imaginaries of what the River can become to the millions of people who live near it. Media stories, maps, plans, and river restoration projects in the last 15 years have created a radically reimagined river from the concrete culvert that sends stormwater runoff out of the highly urbanized Los Angeles watershed. These "riverworks," formed by the environmental justice movement and the necessity of hybrid uses of scarce urban land resources, are driving the development of a new green landscape that is just beginning to materialize through the urban fabric of Los Angeles.Supplemental Keywords:
fellowship, park-making efforts, land use, urban land resources, open-space development, Los Angeles River, Los Angeles, California, CA, stormwater runoff, watershed, urban, riverworks, citizen reactions, river restoration projects.

Houston Baptist University requires an ALEKS mathematics placement assessment to determine readiness for various lower-level math courses. The ALEKS Placement Assessment covers material from basic math through Precalculus and will take approximately 90 minutes to complete. After the assessment, a targeted Prep and Learning Module is available for you to review and learn material, and to improve placement and eventual course outcomes.
All students are strongly encouraged to spend several hours using the ALEKS Prep and Learning Module. Even if you have achieved placement in your desired course, time spent in ALEKS will better prepare you for your upcoming course and ultimately lead to better grades.
The use of the ALEKS Placement Assessment and the associated Prep and Learning Module helps students prepare for and succeed in the math courses required for their major.
First of all, RELAX. This is an "assessment," NOT A TEST. The difference is that an assessment is designed to determine what you know. At the end of the ALEKS Placement Assessment, you will have a much better sense of your strengths and weaknesses in math. You will then have a chance to work on those weaknesses. There is really no penalty for incorrectly answering a question on the assessment. The most important thing is that you take the assessment seriously and give it an honest effort so that the assessment truly reflects your level of knowledge and math preparedness.
Be honest about your skill level. There is no benefit to cheating on the placement assessment – your only reward will be that you are forced to take a class that is too difficult for your current level of mathematical knowledge. Therefore, while you are taking the assessment, do not consult any other source for help (friends, family, internet searches, etc.). The purpose of the placement assessment is to give an accurate measure of your current mathematical skills so that you will be successful in your mathematics courses. (See http://www.hbu.edu/University-Catalog/Catalog-Academic-Policies-Procedures and Resources.aspx#.)
Frequently Asked Questions:
Who should take the ALEKS Placement Assessment?
The ALEKS Placement Assessment should be taken by all
We highly encourage all transfer students to take the exam if they need additional mathematics coursework. If the score on the assessment indicates a lack of preparedness for the course, the student should seriously consider taking any missing prerequisite courses or working in an ALEKS Learning Module (see below).
Additionally, we encourage students to take the exam if they plan to enroll in a math course and have not taken a math course during the preceding year.
Students with Math SAT scores of at least 400 ( ACT 18) may enroll in Math 1302 or Math 1305 classes which begin before June 1, 2016 without taking the ALEKS Placement Assessment. Also, students with Math SAT scores of at least 550 (ACT 25) may enroll in Math 1313 classes which begin before June 1, 2016 without taking the ALEKS Placement Assessment. However, if desired, these students may attempt to qualify for higher level courses by taking the ALEKS placement assessment.
The ALEKS placement assessment is not binding. If you score at a level below where you have been currently placed by other methods, you may choose to take the lower course, but you are not required to do so. You may use the ALEKS Prep and Learning Module to help prepare for the course you enroll in.
Is there a fee for using ALEKS?
No, students will not pay a fee to take the ALEKS assessment and use the remediation modules.
Are ALEKS Placement Assessments proctored?
Yes. If you are in the HBU Service Area, you may schedule an appointment at www.hbu.edu/testing to take the exam on campus in the Math Computer Lab (Nursing 201). If you are taking the exam outside of the HBU Service Area, please email the HBU Testing Center at email@example.com for further instructions.
Can I retake the ALEKS Placement Assessment?
Yes. If you do not earn the required score for your desired class on your first attempt, you will have four additional attempts that will be proctored on campus in the Math Computer Lab (Nursing 201) or in an HBU-approved testing center. However, to make each attempt worthwhile, it is important that you spend at least 8 hours working in your ALEKS Prep and Learning Module (PLM) before the second attempt and at least 5 hours between the remaining placement assessments so that you can improve your skills.
Can I retake the ALEKS Placement Assessment immediately?
You must wait at least 48 hours between placement assessments. There is generally no benefit to re-taking the assessment immediately after completing
a prior attempt. Unlike the SAT or ACT, you cannot improve your results by simply retaking the assessment without spending time in the Prep and Learning Module to refresh material that you may have forgotten or to learn new material.
Must I work in my ALEKS Prep and Learning Modules between placement assessments?
Yes, you must wait 48 hours between attempts at the ALEKS assessment and must spend at least 8 hours working in the ALEKS Prep and Learning Module before the second attempt and at least 5 hours between the remaining placement assessment attempts. When you are ready to retake the assessment, you may make another appointment to retake the exam.
Are placement assessments timed?
Yes, you have up to three hours to complete a placement assessment once it has begun.
How long will a placement assessment take to complete?
Placement assessments require approximately 90 minutes to complete, but the
amount of time will vary by student. There will be a maximum of 30 questions.
May I use a calculator while using ALEKS?
ALEKS will provide an on-screen calculator if you need one to complete a particular problem. Otherwise, you may not use a calculator.
What happens if I do not complete a placement assessment in the allotted time?
Since the incomplete assessment is proctored and timed, you will be given a placement result, but it may underestimate your true ability.-
May I use any other resources during a placement assessment?
You may only use a pen or pencil, paper, and the resources provided by ALEKS. You may not receive assistance from friends, family, other websites, textbooks, or any other resource not provided by ALEKS. Using outside resources may lead to improper placement into a course for which you are not prepared and ultimately course failure. This will negatively affect your GPA computations and your possibility of success at the university.
Additionally, receiving assistance on the ALEKS placement test is a violation of HBU's Academic Integrity Policy and is punishable under the provisions of that Policy; see http://www.hbu.edu/University-Catalog/Catalog-Academic-Policies-Procedures-and-Resources.aspx#academic integrity.
What should I expect on the exam?
Can I review a question or change an answer after I have submitted it?
Because ALEKS is adaptive, once you submit an answer, you cannot change it. Be sure you answer an tiem the way you intended before submitting your response.
I have forgotten my score. How do I find it?
Log in to the placement exam site again and click on "Retake Placement." Your scores will appear under "Past Placements." Keep in mind that your highest exam score determines placement.
What is my placement results?
Your placement result is your percentage mastery on the latest assessment. Course placement is determined as follows:
If you earn the score for the course you want, your record in ALEKS will document this
result. Two business days after qualifying for a particular course, you should be able to logon to Huskynet and sign up for the course if there is still room in the class. If you need to make a schedule change quickly at the beginning of the semester you should email your adviser with a copy of the score and request help in changing your schedule. If you do not have an academic adviser and need a change of schedule, please email the Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Physics at email@example.com and the Dean of the College of Science and Mathematics at email@example.com. Please note that schedule changes must be made prior to the beginning of the semester or during the first week of classes for the fall and spring semesters and before the end of second day of class for the summer sessions. If you need help registering or have other questions, please contact your adviser immediately.
If you do not earn your required score, you may choose the appropriate learning module that will prepare you for the course you wish to take. (You only get one choice of learning module.) If you qualified for your desired course, you may also select a learning module to help you review for the course. The following table gives the recommended learning module based on your ALEKS Placement score. We recommend following this, but if you wish, you may choose a different learning module.
ALEKS Math Placement Test Schedule
Note: Additional information and sign-up for exams at www.HBU.edu/testing. Please arrive at 2 PM to allow plenty of time for the exam and bring a photo ID.

Wows! This looks cool, it surely caught my eye. To start it off, I like that texture-ish stuff in the background and I also happen to like the blue splatters everywhere. Rainbow Dash's expression is marvelous, it also fits her personality. Very original, except for the fact that I've seen a lot of Rainbow Dash stuff so there's not much I can say about totally being original :/ oh well. As good as it is though, there are some things that you can improve on. The splatters are good, but the majority of her body is hidden behind them. And also, I know the white line around Rainbow Dash is to make her pop out of the image, but when all of the dark colors suddenly mash into white, it's...blinding. I don't know about anyone else, but the white is sudden considering that there's so much dark color around it. Next time, instead of using white, I think you should darken the color around her, and that won't be a problem because she is light colored. So yea...that's my advice! ^^ Not much but hope it helps!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
3 out of 3 deviants thought this was fair.

Id like to start off by pointing out that there is no general discussion about the game so I posted it here.
How many of us would like to honestly see a Re-Release with on going support or atleast a sequel? to be honest 90% of the true fans which have been veterans since #1 want the ruturn of the World War II era not this 'Modern warfare' 'future'....bullshit.
Go back to what your fans truely want to see but go bigger, better and become more involved with the true audience of the series. As a company it's sad to see you create once amazing games and neglect them so much, honestly it shows your true $ide within the gaming idustry and why you continue to create them.
I continue to play the singple player to this day for it is simply unmatched to any other WWII game, the online proves to be a waste of time due to lack of support, features and overall neglect.
I suppose this was just a message to atleast try and reach out towards anyone who also feels the same way, to try and create a push towards creating one of the best in the series; have its amazing spark... beating again.
I hear you.
Everything changed with mw. WaW was the last great Cod. I was hoping for a sequal. But we got black ops which I did really enjoy and still play. The MW's are just horrible.
There were so many really cool things with this game. I loved hunting the death cards. And the zombies have not been matched. The originals were the best.
Well I am glad to see that I am not the only guy that plays the single player missions over and over or atleast every once in a while. They really are the best.

The Brooklyn Nets and Atlanta Hawks will face off on Thursday at London's O2 Arena, in the conclusion of the NBA's Global Games for 2014.
In an effort to expand its international audience, the NBA has scheduled games in other countries in recent years. It will not be the first time the Nets have played in London — they faced each the Toronto Raptors for two games in 2011.
But the Hawks will be playing their first games in the United Kingdom's capital.
"I think the fact it's a regular-season game changes the dynamics a little bit, but there's still a lot of positives for our whole group, spending time together and experiencing another country and another culture," Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer told news reporters. "Spending time together is always important, so I think we're looking at this as a real positive for us."
The league played nine games in other countries this season, all of them exhibition games. A regular-season game between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves was scheduled for Dec. 4 in Mexico City, but the arena was evacuated before tipoff due to safety concerns. The game will be made up in Minneapolis.
Thursday's game tips off at 3 p.m. ET (8 p.m. in London) and will be shown on NBATV. The Hawks (20-18) lost star center Al Horford to a torn pectoral muscle that will keep him out for the rest of the season but hold the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference. The Nets (15-22) have worked their way back into the playoff picture after a disappointing start.

Expiration Date:?Apr 2019
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.5 lbs (0.23 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.
