Brother HL-4040CN
- Low price, excellent text quality; excellent setup and documentation
- Confusing control panel, heavy weight, not expandable
Bottom Line
The HL-4040CN is designed to be, and is priced as, a low-end machine. Its only option is a networking add-on.

For this colour laser printer, a sometimes-awkward design offsets good pricing, speed and print quality.
Brother takes a major evolutionary step with the HL-4040CN: this is the first colour laser designed by the company itself, rather than a rebranded model from another manufacturer. It's a decent first effort, offering good overall speed and print quality for a competitive price. The design sometimes falls short on ease of use, unfortunately.
The setup process is easy and thoroughly documented in a printed guide as well as in animated videos on the included CD. Find a buddy to help you lift the printer, though: at about 28.9kg (according to Brother's specs), it's heavier than most comparably equipped colour lasers.
At default settings the HL-4040CN printed competently. Its speeds -- average overall -- ranged from 19.3 pages per minute (ppm) for plain black text to 4.2ppm for graphics. Text in all tested fonts looked perfectly crisp. Colour images erred on the yellow side; photos looked grainy, especially on glossy laser paper. Using the driver's "Fine (2400dpi class)" setting improved images noticeably.
Brother deserves kudos for its software, which includes a comprehensive, well-illustrated user guide (in HTML and PDF) and interactive help files, as well as a dynamic status monitor. The driver offers a good supply of printing options.
The hardware, on the other hand, needs work. The control panel's LCD is great, as it can tilt 0 to 90 degrees, glows green when things are normal and red when things go awry, and communicates in plain English. But the menu buttons didn't always make sense to me: the up-arrow/plus button is for scrolling backward and the down-arrow/minus is for scrolling forward, while the "Go" button is also for pausing. The 50-sheet multipurpose tray is unmarked and hard to find (it folds out from the front of the printer).
Most odd, the toner cartridge bays are not keyed to prevent insertion of the wrong colour. Brother says that such a mistake will not damage the printer, and it didn't when we intentionally switched two colours. But the printer should, at least, have recognised the mistake at the start and refused to print. Instead it printed a bizarre coloured page.
Cost per page (based on Brother's specs) is very good. The high-yield cartridges have a page capacity of 5000 for black and 4000 for each colour and cost $129.95 and $189.95, respectively. A half-page of black text, therefore, will cost less than 2.6 cents' worth of toner to print, and a colour page (using a small amount of black plus all three colours) will cost less than 8 cents. Standard-capacity cartridges with shorter page lives (and thus higher costs) are also available.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

This important Norfolk visitor attraction is one of the largest and best preserved monastic sites in England dating back to 1090. It was the home of the first Cluniac order of monks to England and the Cluniac love of decoration is everywhere reflected in the extensive ruins. There is much to see at the priory, including the beautiful west end church gable, prior's lodging and substantial remains of many of the buildings round the cloister.Continuar llegint +

I resisted the temptation, in that story, to rattle off a list of the schools with the best aid policies. So, why not do it here?

text: Home > Entertainment Melissa Ricks is 'Valentina' ABS-CBN News Posted at Nov 12 2010 03:16 PM | Updated as of Nov 12 2010 11:16 PM Share Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest MANILA, Philippines - Young actress Melissa Ricks is set to give life to a legendary character, Valentina, for ABS-CBN's "Wansapanataym." In an interview, Ricks said it was a dream come true for her to play the role of Valentina. "Kilalang karakter na po kasi si Valentina. Marami na rin ang nag-portray sa character na 'yun. Ngayong binigyan ako ng chance to give life to such a popular character, dream come true po talaga," Ricks said. In the show, Ricks will be paired for the first time with Alex Castro, a commercial model-politician-turned-actor. "Noong umpisa, nahihiya pa ko talaga. Pero mabilis ko naman nakagaanan ng loob si Melissa kaya naging maayos ang working relationship namin. Mabait siya," Castro shared. Valentina is a woman born with snakes as her hair. This was due to a curse given by a woman named Anna, the mother of the man she would eventually fall in love with. Meanwhile, "Wansapanataym" still reigns on its time slot. Data from Kantar Media/ TNS showed that "Wansapanataym" beat its rival programs "Kaya ng Powers" (13.9%) and "Jejemon" (14.4%) with 26% viewership last Saturday, November 6.

Learning self defence to begin with is incredibly important, but understanding about the tools that are available to help you with this is also critical. Self defence DVDs for instance, can be of a great assistance when you are learning self defence, and one of the best parts of all is that they can be used either for single or group teachings.
Why They Help
Self defence DVDs are great and practical for a number of reasons. For one, they allow you to learn the basics of different self defence techniques carefully. You can follow at your own pace and even pause during certain parts, especially those that you may find more difficult than others, so that you can focus on it until you understand it.
Because it is a DVD it is even more convenient because rather than a VHS tape where you would literally have to sit and rewind or fast forward until you find the particular part on the tape you are looking for, with a DVD you are able to immediately be transferred to the part on the disk that you want.
This is great because then if there is a particular move that you want to focus on or practice a bit more, you can just go to the DVD menu and select it, thereby being able to continue your training session without any unnecessary and irritating interruptions.
Where to Find Them
If you are interested in finding self defence DVDs, it should definitely not be hard, as there are tons of different stores and retail outlets around the world that offer them. Turtle Press is one option in particular that is worthwhile, and from empty hand self defence to knife defence, they offer a broad range of instructional self defence DVDs.
They offer a variety of these self defence DVDs, including: Chinese martial arts, grappling DVDs and books, Japanese martial arts, kickboxing, Korean martial arts, law enforcement, martial arts weapons, sparring, Tai Chi, training and fitness, and more.
The CD Universe Company is another great option, and they are a great company that has been around for over a decade now, and which is recognized as being a leading Internet retailer. They specialize in the sale of domestic and imported CDs and DVDs, which they offer all across the world.
They have actually been honored in the past for their exemplary customer service and satisfaction year after year, and they are one of the largest and most respected retailers in their industry.

The vendor, which plans to announce the funding round tomorrow, says it will use the funds to expand internationally and develop new tools.
Online marketing firm Kenshoo Ltd. has raised $20 million in its latest funding round, led by Bain Capital Ventures. Investors Sequoia Capital, Arts Alliance and Tenaya Capital also contributed.
Kenshoo's software serves as a hub that advertisers can use to manage their online marketing campaigns. It also offers social, search and local platforms that help marketers analyze their ad spending. The vendor collects a percentage of what clients spend on advertising through its platform.
Kenshoo says it plans to use the investment to develop new tools and further expand its international presence.
"Our new partnership with Bain Capital Ventures and the continued support of existing investors is evidence of the strength of the digital marketing industry as well as Kenshoo's unique positioning with predictive media optimization," says Yoav Izhar-Prato, Kenshoo co-founder and CEO.
Ten retailers ranked in the 2013 Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide list Kenshoo as their search marketing agency. They include Walmart.com (No. 4), Sears Holdings Corp. (No. 6) and Williams-Sonoma Inc. (No. 22).

Vies en erg duur...Posted Oct 15, 2014 on Hotels
Slecht motel op een slechte locatie met slechte service! Gezien te late boeking was dit het enige wat plaats had! Veel te duur, 240 euro voor 2 nachten. Vieze kamers, geen stoel, matrassen in plastic, gehorig, haren/ vlekken in beddegoed en badkamer! Leek wel verbouwde garagebox... Kortom; smerig, gehorig en slechte service!

This Motel May Provide NightmaresPosted Jul 11, 2014 on Hotels
We entered in total darkness due to a dead light bulb so we stood in the rain while it was replaced. My wife and I are 5'6" yet we couldn't fit on the tiny twin bed! Sheets were clean but the blanket and bedspread haven't been cleaned in years. The toilet never stop running. The sink's drain leaked all over the floor. We have blond hair but the bathroom floor and shower were covered in long black hairs! It was absolutely disgusting and clear evidence the room hadn't been cleaned beforehand. The mirror suspended over the bed seemed to be covered in body fluids although we've no idea how they got there but looking up at it all night made us sick. We weren't able to sleep a wink on the lumpy, plastic-lined mattress which seemed to be not a place to sleep as much as a place to have quickie and get out. If you want to use the remote control, I suggest using a pair of gloves before touching it as it appears to have never been cleaned. We wouldn't visit this motel again if they offered us a free stay. You can't miss this place when driving up, the letters have fallen off the building, saying, Plantation Mo. 3 good things: Front desk staff seemed sincerely concerned, plenty of free parking, and the toilet paper is extremely soft. Other than those things, there's nothing else good I can say.

Absolut nicht zu empfehlen! Schon der erste Eindruck des Motels schreckt ab- Umgebung mit Ruinen,Motel an sich grau und schmuddelig,die "Rezeption"hinter einer plastikscheibe...und die Zimmer werden auch stundenweise vermietet........... Das Zimmer nicht besser- alles machte einen schmutzigen Eindruck-Flecken auf den Bettlaken,Müll in den Schubkästen. Und das alles zu keinem Schnäppchenpreis!

Breaking the Magic Spell: Radical Theories of Folk and Fairy Tales
This revised, expanded, and updated edition of the 1979 landmark Breaking the Magic Spell examines the enduring power of fairy tales and the ways they invade our subjective world. In seven provocative essays, Zipes discusses the importance of investigating oral folk tales in their socio-political context and traces their evolution into literary fairy tales, a metamorphosis ...more

Shelves: literature, social-theory, children-s-literature, language
This is a remarkably good book. It is a post-Frankfurt school, Marxist look at the significance of fairy tales. I've recently read The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales – a neo-Freudian interpretation of fairy tales and it is very lucky I read these books this way around, as if I'd read this one first there is very little chance I would have read the other. Not only does this book mention Bettelheim's little problems with faking his qualifications and abusing childre ...more

Zipes makes a lot of interesting and useful points but so much of this is boring. He spends most of his time saying every other scholar of fairy tales is wrong because their perspective isn't historically-based German Marxist enough, and I just really did not care for that.
He also did not have a very strong "why do we care?" aspect to his argument, so I didn't. Care, that is. Because what am I supposed to do with an historically-based German Marxist perspective on fairy tales? Not much. I agree ...more

Folk and fairy tales --we all grew up with them. We think we know something about them. We are reminded of them in subtle ways every day through the media; movies, TV, commercials, advertisements, and even in the way news is packaged and dealt out to us. The motifs of the folk and fairy tale are so well anchored in our brains that stories, news stories, word-of-mouth stories and even gossip makes use of them.

Man, I am not on top of my review-writing this month. All right, let's get down to brass tacks.
Jack Zipes has written an important book on folk stories and fairy tales. For me personally, it was hard to read and gain much from; while it's important that he's covered the history of studies of folk and fairy tales in pretty clear detail, it doesn't exactly make for fascinating reading.

"Breaking the Magic Spell" is one of Jack Zipes' earliest books, and an important and useful text. I read a copy published in 1979, but I know there's an updated and annotated version that was released more recently. The book covers the history of German folk and fairy tales, especially the philosophical history (i.e. the historical role of the tales and their resultant ideologies), the history of the romantic fairy tale, the potential utopian function of the fairy tale in contemporary society, ...more

I really enjoyed Jack Zipes' theories on fairy tales, and can't wait to read Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion. I am also really glad I read his chapter on Bruno Bettelheim before I starting reading The Uses of Enchantment. It gave me some idea of what to expect (i.e. condescending bullshit).

Shelves: reviewed, for-study, borrowed, science-academic
Hmm... Actually, I hardly had any knowledge about the works that Zipes mentioned and talked about. Therefore his essays, although interesting, were quite dense to me and their points didn't actually stick with me. With the exception of the last essay, they pretty much went in and went straight out of my mind again.
The last essay, a response to Bettelheim's book "Uses of Enchantment", was so nice to read! First of all because he basically ridiculed Bettelheim's approach (which he called 'pathetic ...more

This won't be a cover to cover read for me, for now at least. I am doing some research for my Storytelling class. We were pointed to Zipes essay on Bettelheim which is the last chapter of this book. I was so fascinated that I had to find out more. Folk tales were never really intended for a young audience. They were, in fact, kept from children to avoid giving them "crazy ideas" about rebelling against authoritarian or patriarchal rule. Zipes describes the sociopolitical transition from folk tal ...more

Shelves: books-i-read-for-school
A very helpful guide to understanding fairytales and folk tales, and that the two are different from each other. It also sets historical and social context for both tales along with criticism for both genres. It is also a study in utopia and how folk and fairytales are unfulfilled wishes that the storytellers seek to fulfill.

Shelves: chidderbooks, dragons, schooly, essays, writing-on-writing, historical-fact
I skipped over quite a bit (particularly in the essay about cinematic fairy tales, as I haven't seen Star Wars or any of the films he discussed, really), but what I read was quite good. He's insightful, and I tend to agree with him. To an extent. He's also very very Marxist/anti-capitalist, and I'm less emphatic in my pro-children's-literature and anti-Capitalist stances.

"Over the last three centuries our historical reception of folk and fairy tales has been so negatively twisted by aesthetic norms, educational standards and market conditions that we can no longer distinguish folk tales from fairy tales nor recognize that the impact of these narratives stems from their imaginative grasp and symbolic depiction of social realities. Folk and fairy tales are generally confused with one another and taken as make-believe stories with no direct reference to a particular community or historical tradition. Their own specific ideology and aesthetics are rarely seen in the light of a diachronic historical development which has great bearing on our cultural self-understanding."More quotes…

NEWPORT BEACH – A former porn star was arrested at a home Saturday night and charged with assault.
Jenna Jameson was arrested after a person complained to police about an attack in the 100 block of 36th Street around 7:50 p.m., police Lt. Evan Sailor said.
Authorities said the complaining person knows Jameson and alleges an assault took place at a residence.
Jameson was released on her own recognizance by police later that night, Sailor said.
Jameson, whose legal name is Jenna Marie Massoli, received a three-year probation sentence in August 2012 on a driving-under-the-influence charge after she crashed into a light pole in Westminster.

Former Hollywood sweetheart Meg Ryan is looking to team up with old co-star Tom Hanks to help her secure a hit. Ryan's recent film releases In The Cut and Against The Ropes have failed to match her 80s and 90s successes Sleepless In Seattle, When A Man Loves A Woman and When Harry Met Sally. Ryan and Hanks' pairing has always guaranteed a box office hit - they first shared the screen in 1990's Joe Versus The Volcano, followed by 1993's rom-com Sleepless In Seattle and 1998's You've Got Mail. According to British magazine Now, Ryan has penned a screenplay Somewhere In Time for herself and Hanks, about two fortysomethings who are married to other people, but ultimately fall in love with each other. If all goes to plan, the film is expected to go into production next year after Hanks has finished making murder drama A Cold Case and Ryan completes the Cuban romance Papa. »

Little Comets (Formed 2008) Little Comets is an English rock band consisting of members Robert Coles, Michael Coles, and Matt Hall. They are better known for their singles, "A Little Opus" and "Dancing Song". Formation Brothers Robert (vocals) and Michael (guitar) Coles, Matt Hall (bassist) and Mark Harle (drummer) formed a band in 2008.
Music Career: Columbia Records signed the band in 2008. In 2011, they released their debut album "In Search Of Elusive Little Comets". In 2012, they released their second album, "Life Is Elsewhere", under Dirty Hit records. The band released their debut single "One Night In October", in 2009, through Lucky Number Records. It got to number 3 on the independent chart. Also in 2009, they released their second single, "adultery". In May 2011, band member Mark Harle left the band to pursue other opportunities. In 2012, their single "Dancing Song" was used on the Radox Advert. "The Gentle" EP was released on 23rd February 2014, and "Salt" EP in June.
Little Comets - Little Comets - Performance - Reading Festival. - Day 3 at Reading Festival - Reading, United Kingdom - Sunday 30th August 2015
Little Comets are set to release their highly anticipated album 'Hope Is Just a State of Mind' on February 16th 2015. After their successful 2014 tour accompanied by Catfish and The Bottlemen, the band have become vastly more popular, offering a distinctive and stimulating style of composition.
The group have successfully kept their unique 'kitchen sink' indie style, with 'Hope Is Just a State of Mind' perfectly capturing the band's clear intention to express their talent the way they want it to be shown, rather than reinventing themselves in order to fit with whatever brand of indie pop that's currently popular. Their music reflects personal and political thoughts, but doesn't always manage to connect with the listener; indeed, sometimes they're in danger of alienating percentages of their demographic.
The first track, 'My Boy William', is very delicate, opening with everyday sound effects used to great impact and frontman Robert Coles' acoustic solo performance. The band eke in as it develops into a fantastic opener with lyrics such as, "I cut all the pages from a magazine, so my boy stays true enough to dream." It is clearly a very personal track, and the gentle acoustic vibe adds to that moving touch. 'B&B' also has a private quality to it with the lyrics "Even my own mother cannot take me back".

Bwani Junction are on album two with 'Tongue Of Bombie', but it doesn't look like we'll be waiting long for number three.
It may have been a slow start for this Edinburgh quartet but, now on their second album and fresh from their mini tour with Little Comets, it looks like Bwani Junction are really going to rock 2014.
The band admit that most of them (Rory, Fergus and Jack) have been making music together since they were at the tender of 11, before Dan joined the group at 16 when they formed Bwani Junction. It was then they released their debut album 'Fully Cocked' through their own label Aksatak, working with Glaswegian record producer Paul Savage who is best known as the drummer in The Delgados. They had a good career start, playing the likes of T In The Park and the Isle of White Festival and supporting The View and Simple Minds, before things got a bit quieter for them. However, here now with their excellent second album 'Tongue Of Bombie', they will no doubt be bringing the music industry's attention round to them again.

Having quickly established itself as the best metropolitan music festival in the UK, Live At Leeds returned over the warm bank holiday weekend to send a spark of excitement and energy fizzing through the city's streets. As ever with LAL - and most other festivals - line-up clashes were inevitable though it did little to dampen the atmosphere of what proved to be one of the best Live at Leeds offerings yet.
The thing to remember when wandering the streets with a crumpled programme trying to figure out if you can sprint from Brudenell Social Club to The Wardrobe in under 8 minutes is that you really don't need to. The whole point of Live at Leeds is that there's always someone playing, somewhere, and it makes for a far richer experience to circle a couple of your must-sees though pretty much go with the flow of the festival.
Incidentally - after a visit to the Holy Trinity Church to catch the end of the impressive Harry George Johns - the first real port of call was the horrendously busy Cockpit venue in the city centre, where queues snaked up and down the street with hundreds of fans desperate to gain access. Luckily, organisers had put together a pretty tasty schedule for the venue so waiting wristband holders were eventually treated to something worth queuing for.

Albums of Note... Bonobo, aka Simon Green, may not have found instant stardom in his career but his work is characterised by a steady progress that is reflected in his tracks. North Borders is the fifth studio album from Bonobo and he calls on a range of influences, from hip-hop, soul, jazz and dubstep, to create a sound that has gradually developed into his own distinctive sound. Bonobo calls on a few friends for this album, notably Erykah Badu, who sings on 'Heaven for the Sinner,' a twinkling take on modern soul.
"What sets Bonobo apart in an overly crowded marketplace… is an expert ability to channel myriad influences from outside of his sphere into something that works perfectly inside it, not just within a single track but start-to-finish across an album."

We all have that one album that defines a section of our lives. It might be the first album you bought, or an album you listened to during a memorable holiday, or an album that reminds you of time spent with a loved one.
This is what 'Life is Elsewhere' by Little Comets is to me. Not only is it one of the most daring, groundbreaking and enjoyable albums of the past year, it has been the 'soundtrack' to a certain section of my life.
As that section was drawing to a close, this felt like the perfect opportunity to sample 'Life is Elsewhere' (what an aptly named album, by the way) in a live environment.

"Kitchen sink indie". This is how the Wikipedia page for Little Comets describes their music. Now, I'm no expert on kitchen sinks, but I've never considered my sink to be a musical genre. I'm not sure what it means, but perhaps we can find another pretentious term to describe the Mackem four piece.
'Life is Elsewhere' is the second album from the band and, for the first time, they have been able to transfer the elegance, complexity and power of their live shows onto a record. 'Life is Elsewhere' feels like the kind of album that will propel Little Comets into the festival main stage league.
'A Little Opus' opens up the record and will come as no surprise to long-term admirers of Little Comets. The spiky, slightly awkward guitar followed by the delicate vocals of Robert Coles open the door to 'Life is Elsewhere' in typical Little Comets style. It's what comes after that really marks the arrival of Little Comets MK2. The song bursts into the kind of chorus that wouldn't be out of place on The Maccabees mercury nominated third album 'Given To The Wild'. It's an absolute epic that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Status: Done GP Checked: 2/2 (Fatecrashers) (bugmaniacbob) I am taking over Hariyama for RaikouLover. I have taken the moveset, and started from scratch. Here it is! [SET] name: OU Attacking Lead move 1: Fake Out move 2: Close Combat / Low Kick move 3: Payback move 4: Ice Punch / Stone Edge item: Toxic Orb / Flame Orb ability: Guts nature: Adamant evs: 252 Atk / 164 SpD / 92 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
Hariyama is a Pokemon with lots of attacking power and bulk; its movepool is wide enough to cover the majority of common leads, while its superb HP allows it to emerge victorious from the exchange. Thanks to Fake Out, Hariyama can break the opposing lead's Focus Sash while activating Guts and blocking status from leads like Smeargle and Roserade. Hariyama can then proceed to use one of its other three powerful moves to defeat the opponent.

Close Combat is your main STAB attack, dealing heavy blows to almost every lead. Low Kick is a good alternative, allowing Hariyama to hit most leads for the same amount of damage without the side-effect of lowering its defenses, although the drop in power is noticeable against leads such as Swampert and Machamp. Payback allows you to hit Azelf and Uxie super effectively while Ice Punch rounds out the coverage, annihilating leads such as Gliscor and Dragonite. Stone Edge is an alternative, allowing Hariyama to hit Flying-types out of the sky later in the game, but the ability to OHKO Gliscor with a Guts-boosted Ice Punch is usually too good to give up. However, Stone Edge allows it to take on Gyarados, one of Hariyama's biggest counters, later in the game, dealing 55% - 65.3% after Intimidate (assuming Guts has been activated).
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
The main reason to use Hariyama over Machamp is because of its natural bulk. Hariyama has much more HP than Machamp, allowing Hariyama to invest EVs in its defenses and Speed, one thing Machamp misses out on. Hariyama has access to Fake Out, something that Machamp does not have, which allows Hariyama to break the opposing lead's Focus Sash before the pummeling begins, which is definitely a big bonus. Machamp, on the other hand, must bring the opponent's lead down to its Focus Sash before it can Bullet Punch, leaving it vulnerable to a counter switching in. With Hariyama as a lead, you can now utilize Machamp late game; Substitute Machamp makes a great partner to Hariyama. Machamp is usually checked by faster or bulky Pokemon such as Azelf, Heatran, and Gliscor; Hariyama can take them out at the start of the battle, thereby easing Machamp's sweep.

Metagross and Infernape are troublesome leads. Metagross has enough bulk to survive a Fake Out followed by a Close Combat, therefore Close Combat should not be so hastily used, as after the Defense drop Hariyama has a good chance of getting OHKOed by Meteor Mash. The best course of action against Metagross would be to Payback first, followed by a Close Combat to take it out. It should be noted however, that Metagross can beat Hariyama if it chooses to attack outright instead of setting up Stealth Rock. The same strategy applies to Infernape. Due to Infernape's faster Fake Out, Hariyama cannot break Infernape's Focus Sash; Hariyama must resort to using Payback on the second turn to break Infernape's Focus Sash, and then finish it off with Close Combat.

Starmie is a great partner to Hariyama as it checks Infernape and Metagross well. It can switch in on Infernape's Fake Out, Hydro Pump Infernape down its Focus Sash as Infernape sets up Stealth Rock, and then proceed to outspeed and kill Infernape with Rapid Spin while clearing the rocks. Starmie can also switch into Metagross as it uses Stealth Rock, then Hydro Pump for a 2HKO while Metagross fails to knock out Starmie with Earthquake. Starmie can then perform its spinner duties regardless.

The item Hariyama holds is up to the user's preference. Flame Orb should be used if Hariyama is planning to stay on the field for a while, otherwise Toxic Orb is the item of choice. If the user opts for Close Combat as its main STAB move, then Toxic Orb should be used, as Hariyama won't be staying in for more than two turns. On the other hand Flame Orb should be used in conjunction with Low Kick, as this variation of Hariyama is not likely to switch out fast, and Flame Orb's burn is more conducive to long-term survival than the accumulating damage of Toxic.

Twin Cities-based dancer, choreographer and curator Emily Johnson won a 2012 Bessie, it was announced Monday night in New York.
The Bessies are the highest-profile annual dance awards in the United States. Other winners this year included modern-dance legend Paul Taylor and the Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
Johnson won in the category Outstanding Production (of a work in the expanding field of new art, dance, and performance practice). Judges gave Johnson the award for her piece entitled "The Thank You Bar." It was seen in New York last year, but it was performed in Minneapolis in 2010, and reviewed by Caroline Palmer for the Star Tribune.
Palmer said "The Thank You Bar," with musical duo Blackfish, "delivers a thoroughly intimate and quietly rewarding interactive performance experience."
Bessie judges said Johnson won "for gently and deftly coaxing an audience into a community, holding them spellbound with stories spoken and unspoken; For seamlessly interweaving Blackfish's music with the magical transformations of paper into ice, and dry leaves into water; For reminding us that we all come from a place unknowable."
Johnson, a native of Alaska, lives and works in the Twin Cities. She was a 2009 McKnight Fellow, a 2011 Native Arts and Culture Fellow and has won other grants and fellowships.

Is Your Pet Obese?
Following in the footsteps of their owners, dogs and cats are becoming obese at an alarming rate. The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention states that, "one-fifth of dogs and cats are obese — weighing 30% over a healthy weight." The cause of this weight gain? Humans.
To put it simply, we are feeding our pets too much and exercising them too little. Though they may look cute and cuddly with extra fat, excessive weight can have negative impacts on your pet, including diabetes, kidney failure, asthma, and even cancer.
Many owners are unaware of what is considered clinically obese for pets. The Wall Street Journal says the easiest way to tell if your pet is overweight is if you can't feel your pet's ribs. "If you have to dig around, your animal is likely too heavy."
If you want to put your pet on a weight loss regimen, follow the same guidelines that you would if you wanted to lose weight. Pay attention to calories, use portion control, and exercise.

The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The quilt was quite simple to make, and it turned out perfectly. We did experience one BIG problem - none of the local copy shops would enlarge the pattern until we had written permission from the publisher. I emailed Denyse Schmidt to ask for permission and within 24 hours, I had the written approval necessary. I understand this will not be a problem in future printings of the book as the publisher will include wording that is very clear about allowing copy shops to enlarge the patterns.
I think an experienced quilter would find this book too basic and not very inspiring. However, if you like sewing and you like to make quick gifts for your friends then I strongly recommend this book. There are so many great gift projects (the vintage-inspired apron being my personal favorite) and for kids the juggling squares are a perfect beginning sewing project.
Love her designs - underlying complexity but overall read of simple! She gives homage (I think) to prairie quilters of old who had to use scraps but with a new twist. I am excited to try a couple of these quilts out for my niece's room.
And just this week I saw someone post on Flickr the oven gloves made out of skulls fabric from Denyse's pattern and it looked great. Just goes to show the possibilities in these designs. (No not into skulls myself but I would have taken these.)
I've never made a quilt before. I was overwhelmed at first at just how much work it is, but I just started making templates & cutting & so far so good. This book has great looking modern quilts & lots of info on cutting & tips.
Im in the process of making 2 of these quilts
If you can get it copied for you--then get the book....there are a lot of great ideas and pretty cool projects.
