Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MiniJamie Exactly what I paid for and wanted! Just to be clear -- there are $2500 options of this shelf. Those options have real ladders someone over 100lbs could probably climb on, are made of a higher quality wood, and larger diameter metal pipes. If you think this is going to be the $2500 quality, you are wrong and should go buy that one. But if you're like me with realistic expectations, you will realize this is the MOST PERFECT piece of furniture ever. It is versatile, and will fit the 'modern romantic' decor, the industrial decor, the farmhouse decor... it is perfect! It is REALLY easy to put together! I did it alone in 25min. hardest part? Moving the large box up the stairs. Once that was done, too easy. It is indeed sturdy!! It is heavy! The drawers are solid and are well put together. This piece is absolutely worth every penny! February 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Busybees Perfect This furniture met all of our expectations, we were looking at the same style from another company that cost thousands of dollars and this was comparable to that. Easy to put together and material is excellent. I am actually buying another one. The only drawback was it took forever to get this back in stock. December 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by cc35 great product Very happy with our shelves! There were some complaints the ladder is flimsy but we don't feel that way. Definitely more sturdy with my petite frame vs my 6' husband but he has no plans to use it as a jungle gym ;) Great look, great value. October 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sam24 Great addition to home! I bought this piece for a nook that was roughly 60 inches wide and have standard ceiling heights. It fills the nook perfectly. the ladder and ladder bar are very sophisticated looking, the deeper bottom shelf allows for larger decorative pieces along with my books. I ordered stem wear racks and a wine rack to screw into the bottom of one of the shelves to display glasses and wine bottles as well. Set up was easy, I did it alone. It is a great unique addition to my place. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BookLover14 Love it! I bought this bookshelf because I liked the style especially the shelving at the bottom which allows me to store a lot. I needed a shelf to hold a few books including some heavy books. This bookcase arrived in two boxes and I was able to carry each one on a hand truck so it wasn't extremely heavy. I also put it together on my own but the only thing I will say is the top shelf had trouble lining up with the screws because after tightening one screw the other screws didn't line up. I had to loosen it and tighten each screw a little so the screws are not all the way in on the top shelf. With the amount of books I currently have on it, it seems sturdy enough where attaching it to the wall is not necessary so I don't have it attached to the wall. Overall, it's a great product and meets my expectations. May 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mmcnuttmd Bookcase with Ladder We absolutely love this piece! We had been looking for a piece for our TV room for several weeks. We went to a World Market store and looked at some pieces in person. This piece was not in the store. We went back home to view them again online and decide which one we wanted to buy. That is when we found this piece. We fell in love instantly and purchased it right away. It shipped quickly and was easy to assemble. We actually left off one of the shelves and we use it as a TV stand. We get a lot of compliments on it!! April 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GinnaB Great library bookshelf! I wanted the industrial look and really wanted a ladder to have the library feel. I have looked for almost a year, and then found this new shelf on WorldMarket. Perfect! Had considered the Emerson shelf, but when this came out I was so excited. Everything I've seen with a ladder has been at least $1,500. Love it! April 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by eepogirl Great!! I was looking for a bookshelf with a ladder since seeing the Augustus Bookshelf with Ladder at World Market online. This item is a great industrial piece which is becoming more popular it seems as of late. I recommend 2 people to put this together for quicker assembly, however it's not necessary considering it's not very heavy (once out of the box) or labor intensive. There's only a few shelves and the frame itself that needed set up. The wood itself appears to be of good quality and sturdy. The actual color was just a bit lighter than what my iMac was showing, but I was not disappointed. April 5, 2014

Green-News: Wednesday 6.24.09
- If you take the train into New York City you'll now be greeted by a 70-foot-tall digital billboard outside Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. Last Thursday, Deutsche Bank unveiled the world's first real-time carbon counter, displaying the running total of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere; via Red Green and Blue.
- Experts at the United Nations insist a green economy and green industry should be the goal of all countries to help combat climate change and the overcome the economic crisis, saying "business as usual" is not an option and the $100 billion spent every year on renewable energy must be increased three-fold; the AFP reports.
- The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that the world faces an ever-growing risk of "abrupt and irreversible climatic shifts" due to global warming, with carbon dioxide emissions having already compromised the natural ability of oceans and forests to absorb CO2 created by burning fossil fuels; from the AFP.
- Bananas are a healthy food packaged in their own wrapper, which we normally throw away, but researchers have now developed a system of mashing banana peels and mixing them with sawdust to make briquettes. Then, after they're dried in the sun for two weeks, the bricks can be burned as fuel. No word on their carbon-footprint though; BBC News reports.
- Officials in San Jose, California have introduced plans to develop a $20 million program for processing food and yard waste into usable biogas. The proposed facility would ferment biomass in an air-tight digester, producing biogas and fertilizer pellets. The gas can be used to power the operation or sold to fleets; Green Inc. explains.
- Fungus makes good biofuel too. Back in World War II, U.S. soldiers encountered a fungus that ate their cotton tents. Today, scientists from Denmark are cultivating the enzyme to break down plant matter and create cheaper ethanol, but the process isn't easy. Plant matter must first be treated with heat, steam or chemicals; via Bloomberg.com.

I'm not exactly a "ripped from the headlines" kind of writer, and therefore the genesis of my forthcoming novel, Silver Girl, was wholly unexpected. In April 2009, I read an article in the New York Times Sunday Styles section entitled, "The Loneliest Woman in New York." It was an article about Ruth Madoff, and it detailed how since Bernie Madoff had been indicted and jailed for operating a $50 billion Ponzi scheme, Ruth had lost not only all her money, but all of her access and nearly all of her friends. She could no longer get her hair colored at the salon where she'd been going for years; she couldn't order flowers from her florist; she wasn't welcome at her favorite restaurant.
The article struck a note in me; I thought to myself, "Well, if she was in on the Ponzi scheme, this isn't interesting, but if she didn't know about the scam, this is Biblically tragic." I decided at that moment that I wanted to write a novel about a woman who was in Ruth's exact position, and who was innocent.
The one redeeming detail that the article provided was that Mrs. Madoff still had one friend left, a woman she had known since pre-school. And that was the detail I seized on. I decided that my character would also have a friend since the beginning of time that she could turn to, and because it was going to be an Elin Hilderbrand novel, that woman would own a house on Nantucket and whisk my character, Meredith Delinn, away to the island for the summer.
I am in no position to say whether or not Ruth Madoff is innocent or guilty, although in writing Silver Girl, I definitely grew to believe that it's possible that she was/is innocent. I found developing the character of Meredith Delinn and the back story of Meredith and her husband Freddy's marriage, fascinating. It begs the question: How well can we really know another human being? And that is the stuff of riveting fiction.

(NOTE: We will be updating this list over the next few weeks as we get closer to the 2012-13 athletic season beginning. If you have a number you want added send it to email@example.com and we will add it. We want your input!)
Updated July 26, 2012
Here is a look back by the numbers on the 2011-12 Sun Devil Athletic Season...with more to be added in the next few weeks as we put our thinking caps on.
Click here for the 2011-12 highlights through the eyes of Sun Devil photographers!
Our very own Jean Boyd was selected as the 2012 Lan Hewlett Award winner, given to the nation's top academic advisor, as he guided ASU to an average 2012 APR score of 978 for all sports, which is the school's highest ever and ranks among the very best in the Pacific-12 Conference. Softball, tennis and women's swimming all lead the Pac-12 conference with the highest APR in their respective sports. Click herefor a full look at ASU's APR.
Volleyball starters Stephanie Preach and Nora Tuioti-Mariner were named Pac-12 Defensive and Freshman of the Week on Nov. 14. The pair are the first weekly honors for ASU since Sept. 30, 2002. Preach marked the 15th all-time selection in program history and Tuioti-Mariner is the first to be awarded Freshman of the Week since its inception with the start of the new conference alignment of the Pac-12.
Senior Rebecca Ejdervik became the first women's swimmer in Arizona State history to win three conference titles in the same event with her 2012 Pac-12 Championship in the 100 breast.
Three individual NCAA Championship titles were won as Jordan Clarke (indoor track and field and outdoor track and field in the shot put) and Mason McHenry (indoor 800m dash) both took home the honor. Clarke, a junior, defended his national title in the shot put and made the short list of 10 as a finalist for The Bowerman Award - the highest honor bestowed on collegiate track and field athletes. With Clarke's success, ASU has won the last four NCAA outdoor shot put competitions and eight of the last 10 total shot put titles between indoor and outdoor campaigns (alumni and 2012 Olympian Ryan Whitinghad five shot put crowns).
The softball team had the distinct honor of having four student-athletes named Academic All-America, the only Pac-12 school to place softball players on the list. Clint Myerssquad made its 10th appearance in the Women's College World Series and finished fourth in the nation. In all, the Sun Devils had 21 wins against ranked opponents, 24 mercy rule wins (program best) and swept five Pac-12 opponents.
Six Sun Devil teams finished in the top-25 either at the NCAA Championships or in the final rankings. Men's indoor track and softball earned fourth-place finishes, water polo was fifth, men's outdoor track and field was 16th, baseball finished ranked 21st and women's outdoor track and field was 24th.
Coach Herb Sendek led the Sun Devils to their seventh Territorial Cup win in the past 11 meetings with Arizona on the final day of the regular season.
Eight sports achieved a single-year APR score of 1000 (100%) - men's basketball, baseball, women's cross country, softball, soccer, swimming, women's tennis, and volleyball. Three received public recognition by NCAA - women's tennis, soccer and softball - which was the second-most in the Pac-12.
The Sun Devil tennis team has recorded a perfect 1000 APR score since NCAA instituted the academic measurement, which is currently at eight-straight years.
Nine student-athletes earned Academic All-America selections: Elina Eggers (diving), Hillary Bach (softball), Katelyn Boyd (softball), Annie Lockwood (softball), Bailey Wigness (softball), John Kline (track and field), Jamie Sandys (track and field), Nick Happe (track and field) and C.J. Navarro (track and field).
High score senior Beaté Jones recorded on floor in Arizona State's first victory over rival Arizona since 2006. The Sun Devils scored a season-high 195.875 in the meet.
Baseball produced an NCAA-best 10 selections in the 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft, including five in the first five rounds for the first time in program history since 1984. Thirty-one Sun Devils have been taken in the MLB Draft in coach Esmay's three seasons at ASU, which is the most of any Div. I school in that time span.
Football averaged 11,064 more fans per game than it did in 2010, which was the largest average attendance increase in college football for the 2011 season. Upwards of 70,000 fans were on hand as the Sun Devils upset No. 21 Missouri in overtime, the largest crowd at Sun Devil Stadium in three years.
The Sun Devil's women's swimming and diving team finished 12th in the nation at the NCAA Championships this season, the highest finish for the program since 2005. At the NCAA Championships, a total of eight athletes earned a total of 20 All-America honors, including six first-team All-Americans and 10 first-team honors.
Women's Cross Country was led by freshman Shelby Houlihan who earned the Pac-12 Newcomer of the Year en route to helping the Sun Devils to their 13th NCAA Championship berth in the last 14 seasons.
ASU has 18 current/former student-athletes competing in the 2012 Olympics, eight for the United States. ASU Olympians: Zeke Jones (USA Wrestling, Freestyle head coach), Kyle Alcorn (USA Track and Field, 3000m Steeple), Gao Ao (China, Water Polo), Micky Benedetti (Italy, Diving - 3m Springboard), Eric Boateng (Great Britain, Basketball), Kelsey Campbell (USA, Wrestling), Desiree Davila (USA, Marathon), Ike Diogu (Nigeria, Basketball), James Harden (USA, Basketball), Amy Hastings (USA, Track and Field - 10,000m), Rita Keszthelyi (Hungary, Water Polo), Amy LePeilbet (USA, Soccer), Riley McCormick (Canada, Diving - 10m Platform), Gal Nevo (Israel, Swimming - 200/400IM), Donald Sanford (Israel Track and Field, 400m Dash), Rowie Webster (Australia, Water Polo), Ryan Whiting(USA, Track and Field - Shot Put), Alison Williamson (Great Britain, Archery).
Junior running back Cameron Marshall tied a single-season school record with his Pac-12-best 18 rushing touchdowns. He also became the 16th player in school history, and first since 2006, to rush more than 1,000 yards in a single season.
Women's golf earned in its 21st-consecutive NCAA Championship appearance, the nation's longest streak of women's golf NCAA Championship appearances. Senior Giulia Molinaro not only led her fellow Sun Devils but also the Pac-12 for which she was named the Pac-12 Golfer of the Year and First Team All-America.
Volleyball's incoming freshman class was ranked 21st in the nation by PrepVolleyball.com. The Sun Devil newcomers join 13 returners of the program from last year's squad, which includes eight starters, one redshirt freshman, five sophomores, five juniors and two seniors.
The Sun Devil tennis team earned in its 25th-straight NCAA postseason bid and 27th overall for head coach Sheila McInerney. Sophomore Jacqueline Cako was named a top-16 seed in the NCAA Championships and earned All-American honors, the first Sun Devil to earn the distinction in back-to-back years in singles since 2003.
Under track and field coach Greg Kraft, 27 Sun Devils have earned national titles and outdoor track and field won 12 Pac-12 individual titles. Kraft has been named the USTFCCCA National Coach of the Year four times and Regional Coach of the Year 10 times including during the 2011-12 indoor season.
Gymnastics qualified for its 31st NCAA Regional in 32 seasons. Under head coach John Spini, the Sun Devils have qualified for 31 NCAA Regionals, 20 NCAA Championships, have nine top-five finishes and 19 top-10 finishes. Spini was hired in 1980.
Just under 40 Sun Devils were named All-Americans and here is a breakdown of each sport: baseball (three), softball (two), women's golf (one), swimming and diving (nine), tennis (one), outdoor track and field (20) and water polo (three).
Baseball recorded its 50th straight 30-win season, which is the longest current streak in Div. 1 baseball. The streak started with the 1963 season when ASU went 34-13, and the program has never had a losing season in its 54 years, with three coaches (Jim Brock, Pat Murphy and Tim Esmay) having never won fewer than 30 games.
2011 starting quarterback Brock Osweiler was taken with the 57th overall pick by the Denver Broncos in the 2nd round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Osweiler was the highest Sun Devil draft pick since Zach Miller five years ago.
Had nine Academic All-Americans in 2011-12 and 62 since 2000, which maintained ASU's standing as second in the conference and eighth in NCAA.
Pac-12 Golfer of the Year Giulia Molinaro's scoring average for the 2011-12 season. Molinaro knocked off almost three strokes from her 75.00 scoring average from the previous season for the second-best unadjusted scoring average in the NCAA.
ASU's GSR (Graduation Success Rate) for 2011-12 was 79-percent, an all-time high.
The 100 student-athletes who have gone from the Sun Devil baseball program to the Major Leagues is the most of any school since 1959, the year baseball became a varsity sport at ASU. The program has had at least one major league player on their varsity roster from 1961 through 2010, which is the longest current streak in the nation.
Academic Progress Rate Average for all sports of 978 highest ever for Sun Devil Athletics.

Jeff Ireland: Miami Dolphins "need another complementary back"
Even though a second-round pick was used to select Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas in the 2011 draft, the Miami Dolphins openly admit they aren't finished restocking the backfield.
In fact, this is information the team READILY volunteers with the hopes of catching the attention of individuals like DeAngelo Williams, Ahmad Bradshaw, Darren Sproles, Michael Tolbert, Kevin Smith, Reggie Bush, Michael Bush and Willis McGahee, just to name a few possible options for the team.
According to General Manager Jeff Ireland, when the lockout eventually ends and free agency opens, the Dolphins will be aggressive in their efforts to pursue two positions. First, they'll add a veteran quarterback to complete with Chad Henne for the starting spot. Second on the team's wish list is finding a tailback who has the potential to start.
Coach Tony Sparano is firmly committed to having a run-first offense, and believes in the tandem tailback approach. Ireland says the team's shopping for a complementary back to pair with Thomas' power running style, which allowed him to average 5.3 yards per carry in his college career.
"I'm interested in having another back, whether it fits the description of a scatback or not, we'll have to see what's available. You can't corner yourself into just a scatback," Ireland told the Sun-Sentinel. "We need another complementary back who complements Daniel [Thomas] and Lex [Hilliard]. We do have somewhat of a scatback in Kory Sheets that we haven't seen yet, so I'm still hoping he can develop."
Along with Daniel, whom the team traded up to acquire, Ireland mentioned Hilliard and Sheets because those are the two, young tailbacks presently on the team's roster.
Both have been training in South Florida this offseason with the hopes of getting a chance to pull a Peyton Hillis, a seventh-round pick whom new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll helped turn into one of the NFL's hottest, youngest superstars during their one season together in Cleveland last year.
Ireland has been a fan of Hilliard since selecting this former Montana standout in the sixth-round of the 2008 draft, and sources say he was disappointed Hilliard didn't get an opportunity to carry the football last season when the running game was struggling.
Sheets, whom Ireland poached off the 49ers practice squad in 2009, was the fastest player on the Dolphins' roster before suffering a season-ending Achilles tendon tear in the first week of training camp in 2010. He's full recovered from the injury and is working to regain his sub 4.4 speed.
Both Hilliard and Sheets are healthy and hopeful they'll be given a fair shot to be paired with Thomas, but Ireland makes it clear they'll have completion for the job.
Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, the tailback tandem that shared the backfield for the majority of the past five seasons, are both free agents. While their return hasn't been ruled out, it has become pretty obvious this regime is trying to re-stack the deck with younger, fresher legs.
But which pair of veteran – or rookie free agent - legs would fit this team the best?

Hurricane season begins, expect unlicensed contractors to go after your cash
Florida's hurricane season officially begins Wednesday, and so does the season of unlicensed contractors, warns state officials. Bids from bad-acting contractors increase as people worry about installing storm shutters, fix roofs and repair fences.
The best thing you can to protect your home and bank account is to make sure you only do business with licensed, reputable contractors. Check your contractor's license at MyFloridaLicense.com and report unlicensed activity by calling 1-866-532-1440.
It's the law: Any person who acts as an unlicensed contractor during a state of emergency declared by executive order of the Governor is committing a third degree felony, reminds the Department of Business and Professional Regulation in a press release statement issued today.
More tips:
Always ask to see the State of Florida license.
Note the license number and verify that the license is current and in good standing. To check a license, call 850-487-1395 or visit MyFloridaLicense.com.

Home values have fallen 12 quarters in a row.
Housing prices withered on the vine during the first quarter of 2009, despite signs of the first "green shoots" of recovery elsewhere in the moribund U.S. economy.
The price of homes sold in the first quarter fell 13.8 percent when compared with the first quarter of 2008, according to the National Association of Realtors quarterly survey. It was the largest year-over-year drop in the survey's history and marked the 11th straight quarter sales prices have fallen.
Of the 152 metro areas surveyed, 134 -- or 88 percent -- registered year-over-year price declines. Price gains were limited to just 18 metro areas.
The national median existing single-family home price now stands at $169,000.
Foreclosures and short sales accounted for nearly half of all transactions in the first quarter, a trend that pushed prices lower. Such homes typically fetch prices about 20 percent lower than traditional sales, according to the NAR.
Fifteen metro areas experienced year-over-year declines of at least 30 percent. For the second straight quarter, the Cape Coral-Fort Myers area of southwest Florida recorded the biggest slump, plummeting 59.1 percent. Since 2006, median prices in the region have cratered, falling from $268,200 to $87,300.
Other major decliners in the first quarter included Saginaw-Saginaw Township North, Mich. (-53.7 percent); Akron, Ohio (-48 percent); San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Calif. (-42.7 percent); San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. (-42.3 percent); Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-41.9 percent) and Sarasota, Bradenton-Venice, Fla. (-40.8 percent).
Regionally, price drops were sharpest in the West (-19.8 percent), followed by the Northeast (-15.9 percent), the South (-10.8 percent) and the Midwest (-6.8 percent).
The Cumberland area of Maryland and West Virginia led the way among the 18 markets registering price increases. Prices in the region rose by 21.1 percent, to $114,900.
Other markets showing increases include Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill. (13.8 percent, to $100,300); Columbia, Mo. (6 percent, to $152,600); Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas (5 percent, to $129,100); Oklahoma City (4 percent, to $129,900); and Springfield, Ill. (3.9 percent, to $111,400).

Murder by Death formed in Bloomington, Indiana in 2000 under the name "Little Joe Gould." The group released their first EP of the same name in 2001 but shortly thereafter changed their name to Murder by Death, which the band felt was a better representation of their unique sound. Murder by Death has since released four more EPs and five studio albums. Their latest album, Good Morning, Magpie, was released in April 2010 and charted on the Billboard Top 200. Murder by Death's music has spanned across many genres over the years, including rock and alternative country, while also incorporating dark rock and roll sounds. The band currently includes Adam Turla (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Matt Armstrong (bass guitar), Sarah Balliet (cello, keyboards), Dagan Thorgerson (drums, percussion), and Scott Brackett (keyboards, accordion, coronet), and performing live at the Rock Hall for the first time as part of the Museum's free Summer in the City concert series.We caught up with Turla for some background on the band and thoughts on performing at the Museum for the first time.
How did Murder by Death form?
We formed by people coming to parties at my house when I was 19. We found out that we were musicians with an interest in making some unique music.
It seems that most of the band is still located in the Midwest. What have been the pros/cons of being a band from Bloomington?
Yes most of us still live in Bloomington, Indiana. We love it! Being from the Midwest allows you to be in a great starting place for tours- you don't have to drive all the way across the country to begin a tour. It's also a lovely place to live that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, so living on a meager musicians salary is more reasonable.
In terms of your songwriting, what comes first for you- the music or the subject of your songs?
I write the melodies and lyrics first then add the music with the band. We try to twist the songs into shape so it becomes something weirder and more unique than it started.
How do you feel about performing particularly in Cleveland at the Rock Hall?
Excited! We have visited before and its a great collection of artifacts and oddities from rock and roll over the years. Should be a fun show.
If you could jam on-stage with any musician or band from the past or present, who would you choose and why?
I once had a dream that we were playing with James Brown. I'm not sure that would work in real life but it would sure be something to talk about!

I got my mural wall map in 3 days and had it installed right away and love it.It is quite the eye catcher at 6ft. by 9 ft.and it looks so good I am going to have a cherry wood trim put on to frame it in. I do not know how to install wallpaper but hired someone to do it and am very very happy

Head coach Todd Graham
Opening statement:
"It was a good day. I like the format that we did because it created more competition. The gold team was really down, but came back and fought back, got a chance to win. Maroon held on with a fourth down, goal-line stand. D.J. [Foster] was frustrated with me—he really wanted to play more. I thought he did some good things when he was in there. Loved the big shot to Jaelen [Strong] from Taylor Kelly. I thought Kelly really looked good today. He really managed the offense and was very much in command of things. Both offensive lines divided up evenly on each team—all those guys did some good things.
There were way too many dropped balls today. The tempo was way too slow. There are a lot of things we need to work on. But I was very pleased with the competition. I love this team and love the character. We had a great spring. Our program is about one thing, and this is winning championships. Anything less than being Pac-12 Champions is less than acceptable. These guys understand the task ahead of them. We have a lot of work to do and we're excited to get the opportunity to do it."
On the team's physicality:
"I was happy. We started off with our Frank Kush drill where we play a little smash mouth and we get after it. Frank loves that drill. Then we put the ball on the nine-yard line, and you couldn't throw the ball you had to run it. I like that mentality. The key for us to get better offensively is being able to run the ball. I liked the mentality we had today. I thought we were a lot more physical."
On the running game today:
"I thought that Deantre [Lewis] showed a lot of good signs today. It has to be more consistent. It has to be every down. I liked how he ran in the two quarters, but I didn't like how he ran in the over time period. That's when it counts. So a lot of that is conditioning, and we just have to get them in shape to be able to handle what we do."
On concerns going into next season:
"Just developing our guys. The biggest thing, if you ask me, would be transitioning our newcomers. We have a tremendous class of guys coming in and we pride ourselves on being able to transition them very quickly. That's probably going to be the biggest thing—transitioning the guys that aren't here. I have a lot of confidence in the guys that are here, and those are the guys that are going to lead them and take them where they need to be in the fall."
Senior quarterback Taylor Kelly
On getting the spring-game win on a defensive stop:
"We play defense here, and those guys were fired up. Fourth and inches that's what it comes down to in a game and our defense came through for us."
On spring and the offseason:
"Our offense has done a great job, it was a big test for some of these young receivers that came in. DJ Foster is an amazing player, the offensive line, they're doing a great job and so much more ahead then they were at this time and point. If you look at protections they know when a defense is going to stunt a certain way. With the certain blitzes they see, were doing, defensively I'm really surprised on where they are at, with the alignment, getting lined up and flying around."
On lofty expectations for 2014:
"It's the National Championship. The Rose Bowl. Pac-12 Championship [game]. Host it, win it here, that's our goal. We want to be in the top-four with that new playoff race this year. Compete at every level during the summer and get rockin' rolling in August."
Senior wide receiver Jaelen Strong
On if ASU can win the Pac-12:
"Most definitely. I don't see why not. That's the question that everybody asks. We got to the Pac-12 Championship last year, when nobody felt we could make it there."
On filling the holes on defense:
"We have players coming in. People come here to play defense, that's what we're known for. We're known for defense so I don't expect anything less than last year."
Damarious Randall
On if the teams were even:
"I was hearing the coaches actually did a draft and I was told that I was the first pick taken, then the gold team got two picks. They were picked through the draft."
On if he likes being the first overall pick:
"Oh yeah. That's definitely not the last time I would like that."

VMware ESXi
It Is Time to Upgrade to vSphere 6.0!
VMware ESXi is the industry-leading, purpose-built bare-metal hypervisor. ESXi installs directly onto your physical server enabling it to be partitioned into multiple logical servers referred to as virtual machines.
Customers can use ESXi for free with vSphere Hypervisor or as part of a paid vSphere edition.
vSphere ESXi Hypervisor Features
Improved Reliability and Security
The ESXi bare-metal hypervisor's management functionality is built into the VMkernel, reducing the footprint to 150 MB. This gives it a very small attack surface for malware and over-the-network threats, improving reliability and security.
Streamlined Deployment and Configuration
With few configuration options and simple deployment and configuration, the ESXi architecture makes it easy to maintain a consistent virtual infrastructure.
Reduced Management Overhead
vSphere ESXi uses an agentless approach to hardware monitoring and system management with an API-based partner integration model. Management tasks are on remote command lines with the vSphere Command Line Interface (vCLI) and Power CLI, which uses Windows PowerShell cmdlets and scripts for automated management.
Simplified Hypervisor Patching and Updating
Fewer patches mean smaller maintenance windows and fewer scheduled maintenance windows.
Technical Details
Improved Security
Improved role-based access and control eliminates the dependency on a shared root account. Users and groups can be assigned full administrative privileges. There's no need to share access or a common super user account in order to perform administrative tasks.
Extensive Logging and Auditing
vSphere ESXi logs all user activity from both the Shell and the Direct Console User Interface under the user's account. This logging ensures user accountability and makes it easy to audit user activity.
VMware vSphere live migration allows you to move an entire virtual machine from one physical server to another, without downtime. Customers can migrate live virtual machines across clusters, distributed switches, vCenters and over long distances of up to 100 ms RTT.
To learn more, visit:
Virtual Machine Capabilities
Virtual machines running on vSphere ESXi come with support for the following features and capabilities:
- Virtual machines can support up to 128 virtual CPUs.
- Virtual machines can support up to 4 TB of RAM.
- New xHCI controller supports USB 3.0 devices.
- New Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) supports up to 120 devices per virtual machine.
- Maximum VMDK size is 62 TB.
- Guest OS Storage Reclamation returns disk space to the storage pool when it's de-allocated from within the guest OS.
- Improve CPU virtualization by exposing more information about the host CPU architecture to virtual machines. This improved CPU exposure allows for better debugging, tuning and troubleshooting of operating systems and applications within the virtual machine.
- Increased CPU efficiency through support of Large Receive Offload (LRO) that aggregates incoming TCP packets into a larger single packet.
Active Directory Integration
You can join vSphere ESXi hosts to your Active Directory domain. Once added, Active Directory handles user authentication and removes the need to create local user accounts on each host.
Centralized Management of Host Image and Configuration via Auto Deploy
Combining the features of host profiles, Image Builder and PXE, VMware vSphere Auto Deploy simplifies host installation and upgrade. The Auto Deploy library centrally stores all vSphere host images. Administrators can automatically provision new hosts based on user-defined rules and host rebuilds are as simple as a reboot.
Stateless Firewall
vSphere ESXi features a service-oriented and stateless firewall, which you can configure using the vSphere client or at the command line with ESXCLI. The firewall engine allows administrators to define port rules for services. Additionally, you can specify IP ranges or individual IP addresses that can connect to host services.
Upgrade to vSphere 6.0 — Take Advantage of Unique Benefits
vSphere 6.0 raises the bar once again by providing many industry-first features such as Long Distance vMotion and Multi-processor Fault Tolerance. These features align with the demands of next-generation applications, and deliver increased scale, improved reliability and cost efficiencies for your business.
Thanks to its ultra-thin architecture with less than 150MB of disk footprint, vSphere ESXi delivers industry-leading performance and scalability with benefits including:
- Improved Reliability and Security: Based on the ESXi architecture with fewer lines of code and independence from a general purpose OS, vSphere drastically reduces the risk of bugs or security vulnerabilities and makes it easier to secure your hypervisor layer.
- Streamlined Deployment and Configuration: With its small footprint the ESXi architecture has far fewer configuration items, greatly simplifying deployment and configuration and making it easier to maintain consistency.
- Higher Management Efficiency: The API-based, partner integration model of the ESXi architecture eliminates the need to install and manage third-party management agents on the vSphere host. You can automate routine tasks by leveraging remote command line scripting environments such as vCLI or PowerCLI.
- Simplified Hypervisor Patching and Updating: Due to its smaller size and fewer components, ESXi requires far fewer patches, shortening service windows and reducing security vulnerabilities.
Learn more about the upgrade process and compare versions at the vSphere Upgrade Center.

Ivy Champ Women's Squash Enters Howe Cup With National Title Aspirations
HOWE CUP: BRACKETS l JULIE CERULLO FEATURE l TIGERS WIN IVY TITLE
TWITTER: PRINCETON SQUASH l PRINCETON ATHLETICS
The Princeton women's squash team will compete for its 18th Howe Cup national team championship this weekend, and it will enter the eight-team tournament at Yale as the top seed and lone undefeated squad.
Princeton will open the Howe Cup championships, held Friday-Sunday at the Brady Center on Yale's campus, with a Friday quarterfinal at 1:30 pm against eighth-ranked Brown on Courts 2-4. Princeton has already earned a 9-0 win over Brown this season, and the Tigers won 27 of the 28 individual games played.
If Princeton takes care of business Friday, it sets up for a wild final weekend of the women's team season. The Tigers would then play in the first semifinal (Courts 1-3), a 1:30 pm matchup against the winner of Friday's quarterfinal between fourth-seeded Trinity and fifth-seeded Yale (Trinity won the regular season match 5-4, though it was played at Trinity).
Princeton was scheduled to play Trinity last weekend, though the winter storm forced the match to be cancelled. Princeton and Trinity have played four times in the last two seasons, and both won twice. Both of the Tigers' wins came in the Jadwin Squash Courts, while Trinity won once at home and once in Cambridge during the 2011 Howe Cup Championships.
If Yale wins, it would set up a rematch of the Feb. 2 match at Brady, when Princeton pulled out a 5-4 victory over the Bulldogs. Based on the submitted lineups, six of the nine matchups would be rematches from the regular season. The different matchups would come at 4, 5 and 9, all of which were Princeton victories on Feb. 2. Of the six rematches, two were 3-0 wins for Princeton (2,7), one was a 3-0 Yale win (1), two were 3-1 Yale wins (6,8) and one was a 3-2 Yale win (3).
If Princeton navigates its way back to the Howe Cup final, it will likely take on either No. 2 Harvard or No. 3 Penn in a 1 pm match on Sunday (Courts 1-3). The Crimson defeated Penn 6-3 at Penn in January; the expected rematch would come Saturday at 4 pm, following the first semifinal.
Princeton defeated both Harvard and Penn at home; though both matches were challenging throughout, they had far different final scores. The Tigers rallied for a 5-4 win over Harvard, the reigning champion, after freshman Rachel Leizman fought off a match ball at the No. 4 spot. Her win allowed junior Alex Sawin to clinch the victory at the No. 7 spot.
In its first match after finals, Princeton took down third-ranked Penn by a stunning 9-0 score. Princeton won four matches by 3-2 scores, and three others by 3-1 scores. Only top players Julie Cerullo (No. 1) and Libby Eyre (No. 2) won by 3-0 scores.
The 2012-13 Princeton squad is reminiscent of the three Howe Cup national championship squads between 2007-09, when overwhelming depth carried the Tigers to a three-year title reign. During their run to the 2013 Ivy League title, Princeton has gotten crucial wins from every spot in the lineup, and has been particularly strong at the bottom three spots; against Harvard, Penn and Yale, Princeton is 8-1 at the seventh, eighth, and ninth spots.

Rated 5 out of 5 by teagal57 Hearty and flavorful I seem to search out good breakfast teas like others search out wine (although I like that too but not for breakfast). I have a pot of tea every morning and like a good strong brew as I do add milk and sugar. Builders Tea has the full bodied, almost malty flavor that I love waking up to. And it is smooth and does not have a tartness that lots of others seem to have. I had never heard of this brand until very recently. So glad that World Market has it and I was able to try it. November 6, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bree Great strong tea I used to drink PG Tips Special Blend which was unfortunately discontinued. This is the best substitute that I have found. It is strong and flavorful. A real tea drinker's tea. September 12, 2013

Budget cuts: Museums, bombers
April 20, 2013
The consequences of mandated federal budget cuts continue to be announced on a nearly daily basis, ranging from closed public White House tours to a reduction in training flights for B-1 bomber......
That is just terrible, those politicians are heartless if they don't first cut their own expenses before taking away our National Treasures and Historical sites. The Whitehouse is not really a big deal but the Smithsonian is worth fighting for.

The Government is only as intelligent as the person in charge.
Obama is in charge. If he lets the military do across the board cuts then Obama is the guy to point the finger at.
Seems Obama thinks he is NOT part of whats wrong with America.. Its always "their" fault but never his.
His lack of decision making and his bullheaded ways if a person is a Republican is what is causing all the problems in America.
A good Prez is a leader.. a bad prez is a dictator.. Obama dictates he doesn't lead..

Obama figured he could blame all the sequester on the Republicans.
. Looks like that backfired didn't it?
He tried to pass stupid gun laws..
That backfired too.
The ground under his feet is turning to quicksand and he is sinking..
Hid Dem buddies have a reelection in 2014 and they are more then willing to NOW throw Obama under the bus. They know he will be gone 2 years after the next 2014 election.

Gosh, dusty/billdon'tgetanything, you two would make up anything to justify your unjustifiable positions. The Republicans are the party of obstruction and have done so for five years. They are still doing it. They wanted the sequestration and Boehnor got what he wanted. If you ever did research from independent sources, you would finally have the ability to speak intelligently about the issues. The Republican party does not exist anymore. It is a group of power hungry radicals who work for the rich and the big corporations. Your posts border on the ridiculous. You both have to post again and again aimlessly into your lunacy in the vain attempt to pacify your own minds (what little there is of it).

Obama signed the sequester when he had the power of Veto in his hands.. Therefore Obama owns it.. sorry boys try to face up to the truth sometimes.. Their philosophy is: make*****up, blame it on Republicans, then try to distort the truth to prove the BS we previously talked about. This guy hates capitalism so much, he's willing to look like a fool in his attempt to destroy the Republican party. Never in the history has this country seen such partisanship. There has always been differences in opinions, but regardless of who had control of the Presidency or Congress, things got done and people worked together. He makes everyone feel that if they work with the other party, they will be outcast from their own.
I suspect we will have dead people all over and airplanes will fall from the sky and Obama will use Sandy Hook human shields to win in 2016. Its in the cards..

Short facts
Saving fuel, reducing emission
When you save as much as 39% in fuel consumption, you also reduce CO2 emissions by the same amount. And when it comes to nitrogen oxides and particles the reduction is even greater; up to 50% compared to the average Euro 5 diesel bus. The reason why Volvo can present better figures than others is no secret. The solution itself, the parallel hybrid, is highly efficient, the Volvo I-Shift gearbox provides optimised conditions, and we keep the batteries in the best possible condition by providing both cooling and heating.
Standstills without noise or exhaust
At higher speeds the diesel engine takes over while at the same time recharging the batteries. Since the electric motor serves both as a motor and a generator you actually recharge when driving and braking. While idling at a red light or bus stop the diesel engine is shut off, resulting in zero emissions.
The Volvo Parallel Hybrid solution
The Volvo 7900 Hybrid has active temperature-controlled lithium-ion battery cells, with individual cell charge control. This results in reliable and efficient energy storage. The lithium-ion battery has high energy-storage capacity, low weight and low environmental impact. It is optimised so that the Hybrid can run everywhere, regardless of climate.
Quick and smooth
The high passenger capacity is accompanied by wide, electric or pneumatic, doors and an interior truly built for the passengers. Easy entry and exit mean a lot for passenger flow and overall productivity. And the new electric doors equire considerably less adjustment and maintenance.
Powertrain management
An electronic control module regulates engagement and disengagement of electric and diesel power, as well as gear-changing modes and battery recharging. The close-ratio Volvo I-Shift automated transmission has software that is optimised for city and commuter traffic. The fuel-efficient 4-cylinder, 5-litre Volvo D5F diesel engine produces 215 bhp and is installed vertically in the left rear corner.

NUTRITION With the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.

Reviews for Pumpkin Chip Cupcakes
"My brother loved these! Moist with a hit of pumpkin and melty chocolate!!"
"This was a great recipe but wasn't overly pumpkin-y tasting (which was great for the little ones who don't like pumpkin). The cupcakes were very moist and so was the frosting - but it did make a lot. I decorated each with a little mallowcreme pumpkin and piped on some leaves. It looked really nice (I also reduced fat by using fat-free cream cheese)."
"Nice recipe!! Will definitely try this out."
"I made these cupcakes for our church fellowship this past weekend and they were a great success. Followed the recipe exactly except that I thought there was too much frosting. I used what I needed to cover the cupcakes and used the rest to fill a pumpkin roll. (Worked out great since a 15 oz can of pumpkin equals 1 2/3 cups. 1 cup for this recipe and 2/3 cup for the pumpkin roll-another Taste of Home recipe)"
"I absolutely love this recipe. I make it all the time, and the frosting is my go-to cream cheese frosting recipe. I usually leave out the nuts (personal preference) and I occasionally use a whole can of pumpkin and omit the oil for a lower fat version!"

New England Baked Beans RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 24 22
For a potluck or picnic, you can't beat this classic side that starts with a pound of dried beans. Molasses and maple syrup give it a slight sweetness. —Pat Medeiros, Tiverton, Rhode Island
- 1 pound dried great northern beans
- 1/2 pound thick-sliced bacon strips, chopped
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1-1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
- Sort beans and rinse with cold water. Place beans in a Dutch oven; add enough water to cover by 2 in. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 1 hour or until beans are softened.
- Drain and rinse beans, discarding liquid. Return beans to Dutch oven; add 6 cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until beans are almost tender.
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Saute onions in drippings until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, syrup, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
- Drain beans, reserving cooking liquid; place in an ungreased 3-qt. baking dish. Stir in onion mixture and bacon. Cover and bake at 300° for 2-1/2 hours or until beans are tender and reach desired consistency, stirring every 30 minutes. Add reserved cooking liquid as needed. Yield: 12 servings (2/3 cup each).

"Congratulations - finally a baked bean recipe that starts with dried beans and not one that uses canned baked beans! Very good!"
Reviewed Jun. 29, 2014
"Based on previous comments, I reduced the brown sugar to 1 c. Still too sweet for our family! Although, overall had a really good flavor. Next time, will play with reducing the brown sugar just a little more and/or replacing half of the ketchup with tomato sauce and see if that suits our taste a little better."

Destination Tenerife - Golf del Sur
Book here
Golf del Sur
San Miguel de Abona has always been characterised for being a municipality of contrasts, with numerous different places. The visitor has many options to choose from: sampling local produce, tours of the streets of the old town, where the traveller will discover an austere but singular group of historical and artistic features, as well as the chance to have a round of golf or to practise an endless selection of marine leisure activities all this while being welcomed by the friendliness of the locals.
From the higher parts of the municipality we may observe a land pock-marked by volcanic cones, which provide the scenery with a certain complexity. Long and deep ravines stretch from the peaks down to the municipality´s short coastline, which features low undeveloped cliffs and small beaches of pebbles and black sand.
An exceptional marina has been recently inaugurated at the far end of the coastline. The marina and the golf courses are some of the main features of San Miguel de Abona, where leisure and sport are in direct contact with nature.
for the most active ones:
- water sports at the beach (jet-ski, surfing, windsurf, water-ski, etc.),
- submarine adventure,
- karting,
- parachuting,
- Golf at Amarilla Golf o el Golf del Sur
- Loro Parque,
- Aqualand Costa Adeje y Siam Parque: Aquatic parks,
- Parque Las Águilas-Jungle Park: a fantastic zoo and botanical garden,
- Parque Etnográfico Pirámide de Güimar: the Prehistorial world of Tenerife.
San Miguel provides a large offer of cafeterias, Taparías and tipical restaurants in which you can enjoy some authentic papas arrugadas with mojo. And for those who would like to regret to mediaeval times, why not enjoy a real Knight's Tournament, and have your dinner at the Castillo San Miguel eating from the long table. Shout and cheer for the chevalier which represents and wins or dies in his honor.
