This Schoenhut Piano Pals Toy Piano is a table top convertible toy piano that grows with your child by adding the side extensions and matching toy piano bench.
This Schoenhut Toy Piano Price Includes Ground Shipping.
The Schoenhut Piano Pals toy piano is Schoenhut's most versatile toy piano ever because it grows with your child. The Schoenhut Piano Pals is a 25-key toy piano that starts out as a table top model decorated with a big whimsical animal head on the side. This Schoenhut Piano Pals main unit is perfect for toddlers because it sits squarely on the floor within easy reach of little hands. Later, as the child grows, the Piano Pals side extensions with the animal's body can be attached, conveniently raising the piano to a comfortable height (similar to Schoenhut's other spinet models) for an older child seated at the included bench. The Schoenhut Piano Pals pianos features include:
With so many options for musical instruments, why is Schoenhut the best? Schoenhut prioritizes safety over all else. For over 140 years, the Schoenhut brand has been the top choice for toy instruments. Schoenhut pianos meet and exceed the safety standards implemented in the United States and Europe, including EN17, ASTM, and CPSIA. Their strong, patented construction makes our products the most durable for children and adults.
Listen to toy piano sound.
Schoenhut's patented Tri-Play Learning System, with its play-by-color teaching method, makes playing the Schoenhut Piano Pals toy piano simple and fun. A removable color strip fits behind the toy piano's keys to guide small fingers from chord to chord. The chart also works on adult keyboards, since keys on all Schoenhut toy pianos are the size of a real piano. So, Schoenhut pianos teach children proper "finger stretch" from the very beginning - making the transition from toy piano to a large piano easy. The Schoenhut Piano Pals toy piano's accompanying Schoenhut Songbook contains a collection of familiar tunes - written especially for children practicing on a Schoenhut toy piano. The Schoenhut toy piano Learning System has been specially designed to build a child's confidence and develop basic playing skills.

According to a company press release , Apple opened their 49th and 50th retail store this past weekend.
Apple now has retail stores open for business in 24 US states and claims that an Apple retail store is now open for business within 15 miles of 85 million people, roughly one-third of the US population.

Due to others finding this useful, I'm changing this to include vision-impaired people in general- the colorblind and those who have trouble seeing details.
This feature would be optional.
Okay. This game gave me an idea. The object of the game is to drop colored balls down mazes and try to get them into their respective goal posts. The only problem is that the balls and goals look exactly the same, so there's no way for color blind people to tell between them.
Their solution? Put giant letters over the balls. It's not the prettiest solution, but here:
Left- a really bad version of how I imagine it to work. Right- the above game's prettier version.
Now, notice how there's two letters per egg and they don't always make sense? That's because we have a million S dragons, and lots of C's, D's, etc. It's going to have to work like the periodic table of elements, which means that colorblind users will have to memorize the acronyms. (Sorry!)
As far as coding goes: This will be like the Christmas outfits overlay (I think) and won't affect the eggs' actual codes, so bots won't be able to be programmed easier.
One final note: The letters will appear on all eggs except those in the cave as mystery eggs. This is not just for the AP, but for the entire scroll. The option to turn this feature on or off will probably be on the Accounts page.
What's come up in the thread:
Holidays: Possibly use numbers. 09 for 2009 release, 10 for 2010 release, etc. Vampires would have the acronym V8 because they're available year-round.
New releases: Question marks. For multiple releases, maybe ?n and ?o for acronyms Sn and Mo. (Acronyms are already made, release shows 1 letter.)
Dinos: Exclamation marks. Y! for Yellow, B! for Blue, etc.
All eggs would have acronyms.
This would be optional.
Some people suggested we have rollover tags.
Completed list of acronyms.

Even though the eggs have slightly different shading, I like this idea. I'm all for something that opens up the game to new users and this seems like a simple way to make the game more accessible.

Sounds like a good idea to me. However, would this be needed for eggs which have very distinctive markings, like sun eggs?

I agree this would be a nice idea. I don't know enough about how colour blindness looks or works to know if differences in shading or specific markings would be unique enough, but I feel the option should be out there. Those who also really have trouble telling apart white/silvers/storms/nocturnes and the various green eggs could also utilize it if they like.

Brilliant idea, I like it a lot. Even though some eggs have distinctive markings, if one egg has text over it for the colorblind, might as well make all of them have text over 'em. Makes things more uniform and organized.

I think that would depend on what kind of colorblind the person is.
Also, would you have different letters for similar eggs with different colors? For example, I could really see the dorsal eggs being a pain in the neck for the colorblind.

From what I know a while back on doing some research on colorblindness when a compulsive liar friend of mine said she was colorblind... Colorblind people will basically see the next closest color to the one they can't see, whether the same shade, or just made up of the color they can't see, so a lot of shades can look the same to them. Distinctive markings, if distinctive colors is probably okay, but markings of the same color or colors next to each other on the color wheel, even, may not really make a difference. To be safe, it would probably be best to put acronyms on all eggs, if this is done.

Yes, all eggs would have the acronym over them.
Dorsals. Good gosh. I totally forgot about those. But anyway, here is the list I made- it is free of repeats!
Albino- Al; Balloon- Ba; Black- Bl; BBW- BB; Canopy- Ca; Coastal Waverunner- CW; Daydream- DD; Deep Sea- DS; Purple Dorsal- PD; Red Dorsal- RD; Electric- El; Ember- Em; Flamingo Wyvern- FW; Golden Wyvern- GW; Gold-horned Tangar- GT; Gray- Gy; Green- Gr; Guardian- Gu; Harvest- Ha; Hellfire Wyverns- HW; Horse- Ho; Magi- Ma; Mint- Mi; Moonstone- Mo; Nebula- Nb; Neotropical- Ne; Nocturne- No; Pillow- Pi; Pink- Pk; Purple- Pl; Red- Re; Purple Ridgewing- PR; Tan Ridgewing- TR; Royal Blue- RB; Seasonal- SW, SA, SS, SP (Winter, Autumn, Summer, and Spring); Skywing- Sk; Spitfire- Sf; Spotted Greenwing- SG; Stone- St; Striped- WS, BS, LS, GS, RS (White, Black, Blue, Green, and Red); Sunrise/Sunset- Su; Sunsong Amphipteres- Sg; Sunstone- Sn; Swallowtail- Sl; Terrae- Te; Two-Headed- TH; Vine- Vi; Water- Wr; Water Walker- WW; Water Horse- WH; Whiptail- Wt; White- Wi; Ice- Ic; Magma- Mg; Thunder- Tu; Gold- Gl; Silver- Si; Tinsel- TG, TS, TB (Gold, Silver, and Bronze); Cheese- Ce; GoN- GN; Geode- Go; Neglected- Ng; Paper- Pr; Shallow Water- Sh; Bluna- FB;
Holidays: Holly- 07; Yulebuck- 08; Snow Angel- 09; Ribbon Dancers- 10; Winter Magis- 11; Vampire- V8; Pumpkin- 09; Black Marrow- 10; Shadow Walker- 11; Valentine 09- 09; Sweetling- 10; Rosebud- 11; Heartseeker- 12
These can be the same because holidays are never released at the same time, excluding Vampires (which is why their acronym is V8).
Pygmies: Crimson Flare- CF; Dark Myst- DM; Misfit- Ms; Nilia- Ni; Seawyrm- Se; Original- Or
Drakes: Day/Night Glory- DN; Ochredrake- Oc
Non-Dragons: Chicken- Ch; Dino: B!, G!, P!, R!, Y! (Blue, Green, Purple, Red, and Yellow)

Nice list! There's one thing I would suggest, which is a little on the edge of this topic, but related, though. You've giving the Christmas dragon acronyms based on their unofficial names- Hollies, Yulebucks, Snow-Angels and Winter Magis. All well and good, since just four Chs or something wouldn't work. But I'm concerned that anyone whose not on the forums wouldn't know what they would mean.
Therefore, I would request that somehow those unofficial names getting added to the Christmas Dragon descriptions, just for clarity reason.
@Sock: thanks for the info.

I'd suggest making it an option you could turn on in the Accounts page. I personally would truly hate something like this for myself, but if it were optional, I'd support.

Out of curiosity, what would newly released eggs acronyms be? After all, you don't want to give away the breed by the acronym before TJ's grow up. Would simply a question mark do?

Yeah, I think a question mark would be great for that.
As for Xmas dragons...what if they had numbers instead? That way, they'd be distinct. (Like 09 and 10 and 11 etc.) And since you can't mix up a Val 09 and Xmas 09 egg due to the times they're released...

Or instead of this you could always have the egg description on rollover. It'd be insanely easy to do with a <span> tag and you wouldn't have to worry about new releases.
It'd look like how when you rollover the Google logo and it tells you about the pic.

Those load slowly on my computer and it's easier for me to notice acronyms than invisible tags. Imagine going over each egg- you'd never catch anything but blockers!

Well you could also do the same kind of thing with jQuery and that would be instant. It would just be easier then having to worry about coming up with an acronym for each release. Plus for multiple released eggs at once you'd be able to tell those apart.

For the Moonstone/Sunstone release, their acronyms could've been ?o and ?n. Then they have their acronyms already, you just don't know the first letter.

So this isn't the periodic table of eggs? Which is what I thought when I saw Al... Anyways, good idea. I support this.
Maybe GrD for the green Dino?

I like this idea if it were optional. If I loaded the page one day to see the image on your first post, that would be very distracting. I support this idea, if it were optional.

I'd like to suggest a few changes...
Purple Ridgewing: PR
Tan Ridgewing: TR
Purple Dorsal: PD
Red Dorsal: RD
Gold/Silver/Bronze Tinsel: GT/ST/BT
For dinos: (red, yellow, green, blue, purple): R!, Y!, G!, B!, P! (or just the letter)
GoN: no marker (as they cannot be abandoned anyway)
I was also going to suggest the release year for all holiday dragons - but I guess I was 'ed quite badly.

How legitimate are the EU's treaty revision procedures, that is, IGCs and the Convention? Since the rejection of the Constitutional Treaty the recurrence to intergovernmental procedures appears as one way out of the current dilemma. We argue instead that the Convention method is not to blame for the current crisis. On the contrary, it increases the legitimacy of EU constitutionalization considerably.

OBD2 2nd O2 sensor bypass
First off, let me apologize if this is on here somewhere, but I could not seem to locate it using the search. So point me at the thread if it is somewhere.
Anyway, a co-worker has a 1999 Chevy Blazer with over 200K miles on it. It's a hand-me-down vehicle to his college student daughter. The truck is running rough and he has done all the usuals for it. He believes that the catalytic converter is plugged on the thing and asked me about doing the old straight pipe replacement on it. I reminded him that this vehicle has OBD2, so there is that 2nd O2 sensor after the cat that might cause more driveability problems removed, than his plugged converter is. Now I have heard / seen ways of eliminating or by-passing this second O2. A quick internet search brought up a few places that sell a wire pigtail with what looks like a resistor heat-shrinked in it, for not much money. My question to the minds here on this site is have any of you ever did this elimination "wire" or what ever else can be done, and how well did it work? Recommend this? Or stay away?

Most readers here are probably familiar with the benefits of saving sex for marriage.
John Paul II's Theology of the Body teaching has brought greater understanding and more widespread embracing of the Catholic Church teaching of sex being reserved for one man and one woman within marriage, rooted in the dignity of the human person and the sanctity of sex.
But how many of you would guess that a mainstream news source ran a piece titled "Why NOT having sex might be good for you"? And that that piece had 2,000 people recommend it on Facebook and dozens of comments in support of this proposal.
While this piece was not Catholic teaching or Theology of the Body in mainstream language, it was refreshing to see this topic addressed on a mainstream news site (no matter how conservative it's known to be).
Here's a snip of the column, written by comedian Steven Crowder.
Listen, one doesn't need to be religious (nor a rocket scientist) to see the value of abstinence. Let's disregard the immediately eliminated risk of increasingly common STDs and STIs. Heck, let's even discount the statistical data showing that sexual exclusivity seems overwhelmingly conducive to a successful marriage. Abstinence also provides an incomparable bond of trust in a relationship.
Yes, I admit it: I'm in a long-term relationship and I'm abstinent. Scandalous, I know. It's an incredibly difficult thing to do (mostly for me, because she's way out of my league), and that's what makes it so important.
I can tell you beyond any doubt that my lady is able to control herself and stick to her values regardless of circumstance. Just as surely, she can say the same about me (Ben&Jerry's benders notwithstanding). It is that display of self-control, that tangible example of living your principles through your life's walk that assures her that I won't be jumping on the first well-proportioned opportunity that comes my way.
Strong trust is the result of this self control, admits Crowder. That, and what he anticipates will be a much more liberating sex life based on trust, loyalty, and open communication – not too far off from what the church would say as well.
Again, nice to see a mainstream source running this type of piece. I think all our relationships could use a little more trust, loyalty, and open communication, and sometimes it takes a little honesty to get to that place.
Kudos to Stephen Crowder for being honest in his column – this reader appreciated it!

I blew it with the 2010 Texas State Fair, and my crib-sized entry was not the precise entry size. I perhaps used a contemporary sizing, whilst an agricultural fair that reaches back into the 1800"s might have a more timeless standard size for babies' blankets.
THIS year, for my 2011 entry, I may use this block as the centrre of a crib quilt, and design adorable farm animals to surround it. Still pondering .... all feedback is welcome.

When we buy a best hunting scope for big game, there are a variety of brands and models to choose from. To begin, it is clear that there are two broad groups of view: fixed and variable magnification increases.
Increases Fixed:
Sights fixed increases were the first to appear. The biggest advantage is its simplicity. Have fewer parts, fewer movements, thus have fewer defects and faults (According to distributors, equal quantity delivered, are three times less likely to inconvenience variables), the eye relief is constant, the reticle is always both real and apparent size. They usually have a field of view wider than a variable diameter and the same objective and the same increase as components tend to be cheaper.
The drawback: they are fixed increase, so one makes a choice increase and then must live with it.
Variables increases:
The variable magnification view born to use a weapon / look in various disciplines of shooting, for example by selecting a 4x growth in mountain hunting or making long shots in picking 12x mountain. Because of the greater number of parts that compose and greater sophistication, need, to the same quality of materials, a more thorough preparation and increased control that increases fixed view which is reflected in the price. Also for the most parts they are often or heavier than fixed or fragile. A relevant point of view only in the case of variable magnification is the location of the reticle in the optical system.
Location reticle in the first focal plane:
widely used by European firms, it is located at the front of the system that changes magnification of the sight, so the reticle increases / decreases in size (like other objects in the field of view) to raise / lower increases amend the apparent size the same (but not real), the advantage of this system is that the impact point remains unchanged when the magnification is also always maintained the same size ratio with white.
The counter view is that very broadly increases the reticle may seem imperceptible to very low magnification or too thick at maximum magnification.
Location reticle in the second focal plane
It is most often used in USA and East and defines when the reticle is located behind the system that changes the magnification of the sight, that is, in the second focal plane solution. So up or down increases the reticle does not alter apparent size, (although actual size) can this be an advantage when using a variable lot of increases or precision shooting (to raise the magnification the cross not grow and allows a finer aim).
The locking system can be used for hunting all animals, perfectly adapted for hunting stalking and stalking where the shots are on a quiet beast, at rest or moving slowly.
Let's now look at them. The idea is to assemble the set with the good optical sight of three to nine increases by forty to forty-five mm input light, oh coincidence ! is the kind of optical sight best-selling in the world, which we it is clearly saying that is the one that lends itself to all possible alternatives presented to us. A look of these can be used in three increases for situations where speed of target acquisition is essential, as in the short distance, and between six and nine increases for long shots, a situation in which we are taking aim on an animal generally ignorant of their immediate destination, and in which we have the time to seek support and aim carefully. A target of forty-five millimeters provides an excellent entry of light, even if you want to hunt at night with moonlight, which with this type of look you can cover all our needs.
In the mountains, with 24-inch barrel, we will be well served to abate as both male mountain ibex.
Of course, maybe we walk a little slow for target acquisition at short distances, if this parameter with an open look or orthoptics look compared, or the image may not be as high as we would like to shoot 500 meters but these are two extreme and less frequent situations. Anyway, and if necessary, the problem can be solved by always approaching a little closer to the dam or using the look at their lowest increases, which ultimately is what everyone does, not be heard many complaints. To hunt in the mountains there as open sights or orthoptic, but for lack of light are impossible to use during a night ambush, which ends up disqualifying them as one of our options. Therefore, optical sight 3-9×45 be ideal.

A security camera, taking pictures each half a second, films a
cyclist going by. In the film, the cyclist appears to go forward
while the wheels appear to go backwards. Why?
In this problem, consider the following:
When Brian swims with the flow, his total speed is his speed in the
water plus the speed of the moving water. When he swims against the
flow, his total speed is the difference between his speed in still
water and the speed of the moving water.
This leads to the following solution:
Let the speed of the river be v , distance to the
moored boat = d , and the time to complete the downstream
journey = t .
Again, using distance = speed x time, gives the following
(1) d = 3 vt
(2) d = v (12- t )
combining (1) and (2)
3 vt = v (12 - t )
which leads us to t = 3 minutes
Using this information tells us that the speed of the river is
and since Brian swims at twice this speed, his speed in the
still water is 2d/9.
He swims a distance of 2 d at this speed.
So it will take him 9 minutes.

I can't use file cabinets either.
I have a thirty one tote style baskets on a top shelf ... where one is library books, one is incoming mail and a checkbook, one is greeting cards ... and then the next shelf is a different style of totes and baskets and houses medical records, insurance stuff and photos and scrapbooking.
It works for me. The "clutter" of it is out of sight.
I have the same type of organization or lack there of in the kids room and in their playroom.
Hanging files weren't working for me either. I have embarrassingly large piles of filing to do.
However, I just moved my filing cabinet so it's right next to my desk, and now I don't have to get out of my seat to file something. E.g. pay bill > open drawer > drop bill in file, instead of pay bill > put bill in random place or even 'to file' tray...bill never gets filed. It shouldn't make a difference, but it is working much better already. I just have to catch up on the old piles of filing!

Life has been so hetic lately. Our Grandma lives with us now and she has two cats, Buffy and Kaleb. She also has something called Alzhimers. We love our Grandma even if she calls us all kitty most of the time. Mom said with that Alzhimers thing people kinda lose their memory. She remembers to spoil us though.
Mom hasn't been able to have her shoulder surgery because of taking care of all of us and their are things that have to be done for Grandmas and our safty before she can have it, but it will cost more then she has right now so were not sure when or if it will be done. She gets really,really grumpy a lot,she says it because of being in such pain 24/7 and she feels bad when she barks at us. Us older kittys think the kittens need to lighten up on her a bit they can be badddd kittys.( one brother peed on her bed ,he claimed he was just marking his property so no one eles would lay there!) Mom was not impressed.
All in all our life is really good and we are happy campers.(well most of the time ; ) We got some good soaking in type rain at last and Mom hopes that means she can find more hay for our horses now. It has been hard to find.
Everyone is sleeping but Mom and I oh and Smokey & Teddy are up too, they are all resting so that they can attack Mom when she is sleeping. Well I had better go so that I can find a place to take a nap too. ;0 purrrrs, Dallas Blue.
Hi,guess what? I like my Mom now, I even let her pet me and hang around her when she is outside. I want to go inside with her but untill she can get us to the vets she cant let us in. We have to be tested for something we could give to our inside brothers and sisters. She takes real good care of us and really watches us too close, we are not allowed to go to far from the house. She takes us out back to the little patch of woods so we can climb trees,just like our cat Mom Puff did. Yup I think I really like the Mom that our Mom picked out for us. Thank you MaMa Puff.
Hi , Mom found out what was wrong with my paw, I was stung by a mean old bug, It was flying by me and I just wanted it to go away,but it hurt me instead.
Thank you all for your prays it wasn't bad but it really hurt.
Our Uncle Vince brought his mare over to put in the paddock tonight, she will be in there with Star and Callie their kitty jumped up on the water tub fell in and got soaked. She should have done it when it was so hot last week.
Well goota go so I will see you later.

Their movement is as hard to predict as the weather. One minute they're on a standstill, the next they horde the sky with their brisk wings. This is precisely why people need binoculars and camouflage suits just to trace the track of birds. Similarly for photographers, these creatures present a friendly challenge.

Wapping Woodswritten by neja on 2011-03-18 #places
Wapping was originally a Saxon settlement. This area was known as a marshland until the 16th century when it was drained. It then became a rich meadow and garden ground until it was acquired for the London Docks. By 1969, the docks at Wapping were empty. Trees were planted and it was optimistically called Wapping Woods. However, the trees could not survive and the result is the small park we have today.10 Share Tweet

The winner
With nearly triple the gross of the second-placed film, One Direction: This Is Us is a convincing winner at the UK box-office, grossing £3.47m including a hefty £1.27m from extra day Thursday. With schools still on holiday, Directioners were able to rush out for Thursday daytime showings without the downside of truanting, and may already have been back for second helpings. The opening is massively ahead of recent films in this 3D concert/documentary genre: Katy Perry: Part of Me (debut of £449,000 including £91,000 in previews) and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (£821,000). However, This Is Us is behind the pace of Michael Jackson's This Is It, which kicked off in 2009 with £4.88m including £2.03m in previews, on its way to a final tally of £9.80m.
Twitter had been abuzz with misdirected speculation that This Is Us might open with a huge, blockbuster, record-setting number, perhaps fueled by coverage of Ladbrokes offering paltry 4-1 odds for the film eventually beating Skyfall here (£103m). That was never a remote possibility, and Morgan Spurlock's picture will have done very well indeed if it can match This Is It, currently the record-holder for both a concert movie and a documentary. For context, This Is It lies outside the top 400 all-time hits at the UK box-office.
The other three new entries in the top 10 – Pain & Gain, The Way, Way Back and You're Next – all did unremarkable business, especially when you consider that all their grosses were boosted by significant previews. You're Next (£524,000 including £170,000 from Wednesday/Thursday) is at least nicely positioned for strong conversion on DVD.
The crowdpleaser
Dropping just 25% from the previous weekend, the gentlest faller in the top 10, We're the Millers is clearly proving a hit with audiences. Achieving a weak 44/100 from critics aggregated by MetaCritic, the Rawson Marshall Thurber comedy enjoys a 7.2/10 rating from Internet Movie DataBase users, and an A CinemaScore from US cinemagoers. In the US, where the film has been on release for two weeks longer, the gross is up to $110m.
The big fallers
It's partly a quirk of the official chart, which includes preview takings in a film's opening weekend, thus potentially boosting its entry position, and partly down to the large number of mid-performing titles currently, but Mortal Instruments: City of Bones has dropped from fourth to 13th place in just one week. Meanwhile, in two weeks Kick-Ass 2 has dropped from first to seventh to 15th place. (In contrast, Despicable Me 2 has been in 10th, ninth and ninth place over the same period.) The current bunching can be seen most vividly between sixth and 14th place in the chart, where nine films have all grossed between £300,000 and £550,000.
The summer round-up
With schools back this week, the summer movie season – which began with the late-April release of Iron Man 3 – has now officially ended. Unlike last summer, which yielded both The Dark Knight Rises (£56.3m) and Avengers Assemble (£51.6m), no film this year has cracked £50m. Top picture is Despicable Me 2, currently at £44.8m.
To identify which films have over- and underperformed, it's helpful to compare UK results with the US – and by rule of thumb you might expect the UK gross, in pounds, to be one-tenth of the US dollar amount. By that logic, Despicable Me 2 has done even better in the UK than it did in the US, where its gross has reached $351m. Over there, top film is Iron Man 3, with $409m, meaning that the UK result of £37m is slightly behind the pace – but of course differences in audience taste in the two key English-speaking markets can account for these variations. The biggest overperformer in the UK is – perhaps surprisingly – The Hangover Part III, with £19.3m, as against $112m in the US.
Overall, sequels and films based on existing characters (such as Man of Steel) or established material (The Great Gatsby, World War Z) overwhelmingly dominate this summer's box-office – see the chart below. Top film not based on familiar elements is Now You See Me, with £11.0m, although you could argue that the animation Epic (£13.6m) didn't rely for its audience on familiarity with the William Johnson source material, The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs. Animation is a field where new stories have been shown to flourish, supported by the marketability of powerful brands such as Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks and Fox's Blue Sky Studios. The Conjuring is another non-sequel winner, with £9.9m to date.
Notable disappointments include Disney's famously expensive The Lone Ranger (£4.4m), Sony's Will Smith/Jaden Smith team-up After Earth (£6.3m) and Warners' Guillermo Del Toro genre-melder Pacific Rim (£8.4m, although Asian success has boosted the worldwide cume to a healthy $404m). Fox may be disappointed with The Wolverine's £13.6m tally, behind the total of the fan-underwhelming X-Men Origins: Wolverine (£16.4m) as well as the lowest-grossing X-Men film so far in the UK. On the other hand, you could argue that the Wolverine brand has now been successfully detoxified after the Origins picture, and with worldwide so far at $350m, it's done well enough to permit further sequels focusing on the Adamantium-boned mutant.
The future
The summer 2013 season has ended with a session that's typical for the time of year, and in fact 3% down on the equivalent weekend from 2012, when summer leftovers Total Recall and The Watch landed in the top two places. After four months dominated by broad four-quadrant crowdpleasers and family fare, cinemas welcome pictures targeting more adult audiences. Richard Curtis's About Time should play to an upscale crowd that hasn't had much fighting for its attention recently. Vin Diesel's Riddick is rated R in the US and 15 here (for "strong bloody violence and strong language") and should play to genre fans who were disappointed by its predecessor Chronicles of Riddick. No One Lives targets a similar audience to You're Next, while Ain't Them Bodies Saints and The Great Beauty arrive with credentials from the Sundance and Cannes film festivals respectively.

Google posts source for Ice Cream Sandwich
There were a few people in these forums who contended that Google had abandoned its commitment to "open source" with Honeycomb.
Before the first Ice Cream Sandwich device is available, Google has posted the source code, and the mod-ers can get busy with it. Device manufacturers can also get busy with it, and we should see some tablets with ICS installed in December, with phones following in January. It's really a great time for Android.

Hi, I am wondering if it is normal for a 2001 v7 STi when boosting under a bit of load in 4th / 5th gear for it to creap up to 18 - 20 psi then onces it gets up to a good rpm for that gear it will drop back to its normal 15 - 16 psi. 1st 2nd and 3rd all go straight to about 15psi.
It just seems to be if I put my foot down when the car is in slight too low revs for the gear it will creap right up to around 20 psi then drop back. Not sure if its a dodgy boost gauge or leak or if that's just normal for this car.
Also when boosting in 4th / 5th gear with peddle only half on gas and going into boost, it the boost gauge seems to wobble up and down a little when I'm not under fool throttle.
Help would be much appreciated cheers.

The last remnant of Graeme Hart's rural empire - a cattle and pig farm at Maramarua - is up for sale.
Hart's investment company, Rank Group, is selling a productive 142.8ha block, leased to cattle grazing and pig breeding operations, at auction on October 24. The property is being marketed through Bayleys Hamilton.
Rank, through its subsidiary Carter Holt Harvey, has sold about 30 farms, worth more than $200 million, over the past three years.
The Rotorua and South Waikato farms totalling about 8600ha were mostly high-quality dairy unit conversions of what were once forestry plantations.
Trinity Lands, a company of south Waikato farmers, has been a big buyer of the properties, as has Southern Pastoral, which is 99 per cent owned by a Swedish state pension fund.
Bayleys senior rural salesman Mike Fraser-Jones said the most likely buyer would be a New Zealand-based farmer or someone looking for a revenue-generating primary produce-based investment.
The property has 132ha of grazing land and an enclosed pig breeding plant.

Melissa Ferrick
Ferrick's brief time on a major label, Atlantic, resulted in one overproduced album, 1993's Massive Blur, and one charming album full of signature songs, 1995's Willing to Wait. Now, she releases albums on her own Right On label. Valentine Heartache is probably her best: it shows off her versatility as a guitarist and the sharpest variations on her favorite themes. But Ferrick seems to realize she's at her best in concert. Her new CD, 70 People at 7000 Feet, is her third live album.
Even more than most singer-songwriters, Ferrick's (and her fans') biggest dilemma is how to sustain a musical career fueled by romantic turmoil. "I'm sick of writing this song / About how love always disappears," she sang toward the end of the show I saw. So I'm happy to report that her last studio album, 2002's Listen Hard, finally proved she's equally talented at writing sweet, optimistic love songs. Let's hope that whatever relationship she was singing about is still going strong when she visits the Ark Sunday, April 18.

Aftab, Aamna shop for groceries
Subscribe to Filmibeat
They had hit it off very well during the making of Aloo Chaat and gradually their close friendship resulted in romance. The cute couple was spotted just a few days back in Mumbai"s western suburbs, surprisingly not in a coffee shop or a pub, where generally celebrity couples hang out but in a grocery store. They were picking up groceries from a store.
But we wonder, for whose home they were shopping. For Aftab"s? Or Aamna"s? Or maybe, the couple was picking up stuff to make some spicy aloo chaat for themselves. Anything to spice up life, right?

I received this Cargo Lip Gloss in my May birchbox and didn't try it right away, I thought it was a summery color. When I finally did try it I realized I should not have waited so long! The color is perfect, day or night and very flattering. It has just the right amount of shine and is long lasting for a gloss! Would highly recommend!5

Where warm days give way to cool nights, and grapes hang on the vines slowly soaking in the sun, there's no better way to celebrate the small moments of joy, every day. Inspired by the indulgent treat that evokes joy and anticipation, Cupcake Vineyards offers an extensive portfolio of finely-crafted wines to help you celebrate your everyday moments of joy. Our winemaker explores vineyards all over the world – including in our backyard, California's Central Coast – to source some of the best grapes possible for Cupcake wines, then works in our cellar to let their natural characteristics shine through in our wines.
After introducing a small selection of fruit-forward, creamy wines in 2008, we've grown our portfolio to include a wide variety of delicious red, white and sparkling wines. From California classics to favorites from some of the world's preeminent grape-growing regions, our wines all share a balanced style that makes it easy for you to switch from one Cupcake wine to the next, celebrating the small moments of joy.
Our winemaker, Jessica Tomei, has spent more than 10 years chasing the vines through some of the world's finest wine regions and takes a hands-on approach to winemaking, starting in the vineyard. After working alongside growers to ensure our grapes reach the perfect ripeness for our wines, Jessica brings out the truest grape expression for each varietal in our cellar, letting the vineyard shine through to create rich, creamy and delectable wines.
A third-generation Californian, Jessica grew up in a close-knit Italian and Greek family with a love of food and wine. She remembers helping prepare delicious Italian and Greek dishes and enjoying leisurely family dinners that stretched well into the night. Nowadays, it's not uncommon for a Tuesday night dinner in her household to turn into something special with a glass of wine – Cupcake, of course.
Jessica received a bachelor's degree in Viticulture & Enology from the University of California, Davis, one of the world's most respected universities for the study of winemaking, and completed her first harvest in Sonoma. Since then, Jessica has completed nearly 20 harvests around the world, working at vineyards in Tuscany, Italy; Napa, California; and Chile. After settling in California, Tomei created original wine for her family label and consulted for a boutique winery in Napa. Most recently, Jessica and her husband worked as independent winemakers.

Cory Booker has done it again. Huff Post reports that the mayor of Newark, NJ, has come to the rescue of a pet that was allegedly being abused. One of his "followers" on Twitter alerted him at 8:33 p.m., June 27, that the dog was locked in a tiny crate, and the mayor sprang into action, first responding, "Where? I'll go investigate now."
Two minutes later, with the location pinpointed, he responded, "I'm on my way right now." Now that's responsive. Once he observed the pooch's condition and determined that the dog was indeed in a neglected state, he called the humane society, which took the dog into its care.
This wasn't the first time the mayor has shown firsthand concern for pets. In January, again reported by Huff Post, he rescued a dog from the cold, also in response to a Tweet.
Of course, humans are also his concern. In April 2012, he saved a neighbor from a burning house and suffered second degree burns and smoke inhalation as a result.
He may have political detractors, but we have to say he ranks up there with our humane heroes.

Texas is both a state of mind and a place in which there are human inhabitants. Texas is the home of those who believe killing is simply a way to demonstrate to God that one is a good Christian. Texas is a land of plenty for a few and a land of poverty for many. Texas believes fervently that if one kills a "bad person" then other "bad people" will become good people. Edgar Tamayo is a mentally disabled individual who murdered an innocent person. He was a citizen of Mexico and thus entitled, as any foreigner is when charged with crimes when in a strange land, to assistance from his embassy. Americans overseas immediately contact the US Embassy when charged with a crime. It is an international right recognized by International Courts. The recent death by drugs of Dennis McGuire took 25 agonizing minutes to accomplish.
Former President Bush urged states to recognize our obligations in America to respect the right to consular assistance. Secretary of State John Kerry has urged Texas Governor Rick Perry to hold off on the death sentence for Tamayo and work with Mexican officials. Hell man! This is TEXAS! This is the land where one can kill and kill. Of course, when George Bush was governor of the state he never gave prevented an execution of someone convicted in a courtroom.
It is nice to know that George Bush "found God" and became a new man. Rick Perry doesn't worry about finding God, all he has to do is look in the mirror.

Palliative Care Offers Relief to Both
Caregiver and Loved One
Some people may need a more complex form of care
from the beginning. This would include people: with
a past history of psychiatric problems or substance
abuse problems; who had difficulty coping during
earlier cancer treatment; with no social support, or
no one to turn to for emotional support; who have
young children in the family; who have suffered from
multiple losses; with financial problems; who have
problems thinking clearly; who have other serious,
medical problems; who have communication problems
(difference in language, or are hard-of-hearing);
who have family problems; or who have repeatedly
requested physician-assisted suicide. Whatever the
situation, the palliative care team will work with
the appropriate mental healthcare professionals,
medical professionals, social services, or
interpreters to make sure that their needs are met.
During the final days and hours, the doctor and
palliative care team will: watch the patient
closely; provide privacy; stop all diagnostic
testing; avoid needle sticks; remove IVs, catheters,
and implanted devices; allow loved ones and their
family uninterrupted time together; ensure that the
family understands the death process and what to
expect; encourage visits by children if it's okay
with loved one; make sure the family is available
around-the-clock; make sure that caregivers
understand the advance directives of their loved one
and that these directives will be honored; and
consider sedation for relief of uncontrolled
symptoms. After a loved one has died, the palliative
care continues, making sure that the body is treated
in a culturally sensitive and respectful way, that
the family has time with the body, that funeral
arrangements are made and finalized, and that all
healthcare professionals and insurance companies are
notified. For the family, the palliative care team
will help provide support with their grief by
identifying available help or community
grief/bereavement groups, and will make sure that
family members are receiving the help needed in
order to cope with the death.
It's important for caregivers and their loved
ones to know that such a program exists, that it can
help them through every difficult stage; not only
helping the one with the life-threatening illness,
but also helping the caregiver. Palliative care can
ease the confusion that may come from an overload of
too much information and too many choices by
concentrating on the entire person - their body,
mind, and spirit - and the personal well-being of
the family caregiving team as well.

President Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday said the lack of good governance was the root cause of many serious deficiencies in society, robbing citizens of their security and rights.
Delivering the 14th DP Kohli memorial lecture on the occasion of Central Bureau of Investigation's golden jubilee celebrations, Mukherjee said growth must be inclusive and sustainable. Kohli was the founding director of the CBI.
Emphasising the need to ensure thorough investigation into allegations and speedy prosecution, Mukherjee said at the core of good governance was inviolable adherence to rule of law from which emanates the critical need for participatory decision-making structure, transparency, responsiveness, accountability, equity and inclusiveness.
He said the country was at the crossroads of transformation and could not afford to lose the momentum of change. Delivery systems need change and only good governance can provide an answer to the problem. "If what is meant for the poor does not reach them in the proportion it is meant to, then corruption and inefficiency are its two main causes."
Referring to the gang rape of a 23-year-old medical student in December last year, Mukherjee said, "At the root of poor governance is our lethargy for change, whether it is in the implementation of schemes or adherence to values... it is time to reset our moral compass."
Mukherjee gave the President Police Medal for distinguished Services to CBI joint director Keshav Kumar, assistant director (Interpol) NS Kharayat, SP Javed Siraj, Inspector R K Gaur, Additional SP Ravinder Singh Jaggi and Inspector Jeet Singh.

Sol Campbell's five-year spell at Arsenal was "never easy" according to Arsène Wenger.
Campbell controversially signed for the Gunners on a free transfer from arch-rivals Tottenham in 2001. The centre-back quickly became the cornerstone of Arsenal's defence helping them to a League and Cup double in his first season, then FA Cup success in 2005.
Campbell's last game in the red-and-white was the 2006 Champions League Final when he became one of only five Englishman to score on the occasion. It was an ultimately unhappy occasion however, as Barcelona struck twice in the last 13 minutes to secure the trophy.
The 34-year-old is likely to feature for Portsmouth on Saturday and his name cropped up at Friday's pre-match press conference. Wenger explained how Campbell's North-London switch made Highbury life hard for the defender.
"It was always difficult for him mentally when he left Tottenham," the manager said. "It was never an easy time for him at Arsenal.
"It was his decision to leave, not mine, he wanted to leave the country.
"At the end of the day he was at the turning point when he left us. He decided to stay in the country but he's a winner and he will work hard and we will see that tomorrow."

Grant Status: Active
Grant Title: Collaborative Office Rounds (COR) - Pediatrics and Child Psychiatry
Daniel P. Kohen, MD
University of Minnesota
Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics Program, 717
Delaware St SE, Room 371
Minneapolis, MN 55414
Phone: (612) 626-3014
Email: email@example.com
Residency graduates do not feel confident to manage psychosocial/biobehavioral problems in pediatric practice, despite some training during residency. Goal: to improve the socio-emotional well-being of children through multidisciplinary care conferences improving clinicians' knowledge & treatment.
Goal 1: Promote and enhance understanding of cultural and linguistic competence; and promote continuation of recruitment and maintenance of diverse membership within COR. Objective 1: With the mixture of community- and University-based clinicians participating in the seminars, the case presentations provide a variety in terms of culture/ethnicity, SES, presenting condition, and treatment plans. Goal 2: Enhance understanding of biopsychosocial aspects of child development, disorders, and disability, and improve the ability of providers to help children and families deal with these issues. Objective 1: The participants are a mixture of community- and University-based clinicians, as well as being interdisciplinary, thus increasing the opportunity for an exchange from diverse perspectives and areas of expertise. Goal 3: Enhance and expand the ability of pediatricians to discriminate between transient & developmental challenges/difficulties and more serious psychiatric disorders requiring consultation and referral. Objective 1: Increase awareness of the scope of participants' competencies and strengthen orientation to consult with, and/or refer to, other professionals as appropriate. Objective 2: Promote collaboration between pediatricians, developmental-behavioral pediatricians, child psychiatrists, and child psychologists. Goal 4: Facilitate a comprehensive approach to health supervision, as envisaged in Bright Futures: Guidelines for Supervision of Infants, Children & Adolescents; and Bright Futures in Practice: Mental Health. Objective 1: Increase the proportion of persons who report their health care providers have satisfactory communication skills (HP 2020; HC/HIT-2). Objective 2: Increase the number of persons seen in primary care who receive mental health screening and assessments (HP 2020; MHMD-5, -6, -11). Objective 3: Increase the proportion of children with mental health problems who receive treatment (HP 2010; MHMD-6). Goal 5: Nurture the success of the COR program; honor its importance as an educational strategy; support and create more COR groups (i.e., COR-III for senior Peds/Med-Peds/Child Psych residents and fellows). Objective 1: COR-III was initiated in January 209 for senior Peds/Med-Peds/Child Psych residents and fellows; and continues to be held. Chief residents assign residents to present cases; DBP/Child Psych fellows or junior faculty work with the residents on the presentations and facilitate discussion.
Collaboration between multidisciplinary clinicians increases through twice-monthly seminars, which are case-based. Primary providers' knowledge, diagnostic perspectives, and treatment options will expand. Unique characteristics of COR: focus upon pediatric practitioners' presentation of common clinical dilemmas encountered in daily practice; creation of a common language and supportive environment for participants; enhancement of understanding of psychosocial aspects of child development, biobehavioral disorders, and disabilities; and the real ability of providers to help children and families manage these issues; focus designed to increase the ability and comfort of pediatricians to differentiate between transient developmental challenges and more serious psychiatric disturbances necessitating psychiatric consultation and referral. Learners with varying experiences in child health and illness are brought together, promoting interdisciplinary sharing of experiences and perspectives to enhance learning and promote excellence in child health care.
Coordination of the COR project is a share endeavor of the collaborating pediatrician and child psychiatrist coordinators. These coordinators also assist participants in selecting appropriate cases for discussion, and in preparation and distribution of learning materials for other participants.
Evaluation is ongoing. An initial annual survey/needs assessment identifying learning needs provides foci for program planning & serves as core objectives against which learners measure outcomes. Eight-item evaluation form is used at each meeting; open review of group process is encouraged. Written evaluation occurs annually to identify progress toward achieving measureable objectives.

Late war Springfield restorations (w/ wartime barrels and proper code parts for the date) with mismatch stocks slightly below $1k. Late war period correct parts with correct stocks (no rebuild marks) $1,350 or so. You'd be best looking for 3.7-3.8 million Springfields. These can still be found in the CMP stores on a good/lucky day. From there it's parts swapping to make a wartime all SA gun. Proper stocks with rebuild marks can be found with a little patience. Wartime stocks without rebuild marks are dear indeed. Likewise early unmodified Op Rods. Forget Winchesters, the prices are nuts.
I just sold a restoration 3.7m Springfield with all correct parts (tho' not matching finish) and an nice NFR lineout stock for $1,250 if that helps place the market (at least in Southern Cal) for you.
Just my 2 cents, others may disagree.

The pair of tennis courts are located at the south end of Stanley Park, near 15th Street and Lorne Avenue.

Parke Regency Hotel and Conference Center Under New OwnershipMarch 12, 2014
Photo Courtesy of Parke Regency Hotel and Conference Center.
Even a year after coming under new ownership, the Parke Regency Hotel and Conference Center in Bloomington is continuing to renovate facilities and create an even better customer experience.
"Since the new ownership has taken over we've really worked to revamp and renovate our hotel," Ashley Melhouse, Marketing Manager, said. "We like to have more of an upscale, classy feel for our customers and guests. We try to roll out the red carpet for our guests whenever we can."
The Parke Regency Hotel is the only independently owned boutique hotel in Central Illinois.
"Being independently owned is really important for us because we get to operate off of our own vision, ideas and values" Melhouse said. "We don't have to comply with anyone else's standards or corporate protocols. We're free to adhere to our customers needs and wants as we see fit."
One area of focus for the hotel has been it's Tavern, which serves as a restaurant and sports bar. The hotel's chef has worked to tailor its menu to fit with the hotel's feel. The Tavern features multiple televisions and a large screen projector so people can watch sports while they eat or have a drink.
The Tavern offers a variety of appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, and desserts. One of the customer favorites has proven to be the Farmhouse Burger.
"The Farmhouse Burger is definitely one of the most popular food items," Melhouse said. "It's a black angus burger topped with cheddar cheese, a farm fresh egg, bacon, and a fried onion stack."
Since coming under new ownership the hotel also made sure to enhance one of it's most important aspects, it's conference center.
"Our conference center is a really big aspect of the hotel," Melhouse said. "We have a lot of groups that come in for corporate meetings and during wedding season we have a lot of wedding receptions. It doesn't have to be a really big event; we cater to both big and small groups. Our banquet staff and food and beverage manager work really hard on making it a great experience for all of our guests. It's something we really pride ourselves on."
The grand ballroom has 12,000 feet of space that can be made to fit parties large and small.
The hotel also has two smaller meeting rooms for smaller events like employee training.
The hotel will be having a St. Patrick's Day special at the Tavern starting Saturday the 15th and going until Monday the 17th. The tavern will be having a variety of Irish food specials that include corn beef and cabbage. They will also be having drink specials, offering $5.99 domestic pitchers, $3 green beer pints, and $4 Guinness beers.
To learn more about Parke Regency's rooms, amenities and services you can visit their website at www.parkeregency.com or call them at 309-662 -4300.
For more information on the Tavern at Parke Regency, as well as a full menu, you can visit their website at www.bloomingtontavern.com.
The Parke Regency Hotel and Conference Center is located at 1413 Leslie Dr. in Bloomington.

On Sunday, my flatmate and I took a walk down to the edge of Broadway Market, joined the Regent's Canal towpath and crossed Victoria Park — resplendent in the hot mid-afternoon sun — to its north-east corner, where three cricket nets hide behind a crop of bushes and within slogging distance of The Britannia boozer.
Expecting the nets to be empty (most cricket teams train in the week and play their games on the weekend), we instead came upon a busy scene: bowlers bustling in, ungainly batsmen missing their shots and — most surprisingly — groups of fellow east Londoners lying against their bags waiting to join in the fun, listening to the Third Test on the radio as Australia's middle order extended their lead in vain at Old Trafford.
This was a queue for cricket nets: Londoners who could have been tending to a pint somewhere or watching the match at home, or, indeed, honing the design businesses that some of their artful facial hair suggested an involvement with, were waiting to take part in the bit of cricket that doesn't have to involve whites, umpires or howzats — and has traditionally been regarded as the tedious, necessary activity between weekly appearances at the wicket.
This required more investigation. Has cricket netting extended its appeal beyond professionals and nerds and gone mainstream? Are nets now hip?
A few calls to the council bods responsible for running public nets suggests that they might just be, as more young Londoners are indeed finding their local nets and wandering down for a hit. Clapham Common, Battersea Park, Victoria Park and Dulwich Park are among the good-quality public nets on offer, although booking arrangements and prices vary and are advertised on the respective local authority websites.
For a more professional experience, Londoners can head to Surrey CCC's Ken Barrington Cricket Centre at the Oval, where a state-of-the-art indoor net costs £38 per hour of use and bowling machines and video analysis are available for keen types (kiaoval.com/nets). Simon Talbot, the duty manager, says he's seen a 20 per cent increase in booking this summer. Similar facilities are available at Lord's for £45 per hour.
It wasn't just the numbers at my local nets that surprised me, though, but the pleasant social atmosphere that reigned. When my flatmate padded up, a Bangladeshi Hackney-dwelling medium pacer joined me in the attack, as did a polite, quietly spoken leg spinner from Somerset who had just moved to Ilford. Netting in those circumstances is an agreeable afternoon pursuit — tearing into the net and then chatting with your fellow bowlers as others take their turn.
Sometimes the ante is upped, the gaggle of bowlers all working on their batsman in turn, like a coalition of cheetahs singling out a vulnerable gazelle, sending their distinctive balls down until the pressure forces a mistake or the batsman gets his own back by smashing a bad ball over everyone's heads.
"No man has truly lived until he's been carted around his local nets," says Amol Rajan, editor of The Independent and author of Twirlymen: The Unlikely History of Cricket's Greatest Spin Bowlers, remembering his infant leg-breaks flying onto Burntwood Lane, and then Trinity Road, at Sinjuns CC in Wandsworth. It seems London's youth this summer doesn't disagree.

Classic firearms also wants $17 to ship. The cost of 5 magazines would then be $17 and change per magazine once shipping is factored in. I can go to 44mag.com and get a magpul magazine for $13 and free shipping.
Look, I'm not trying to get into a argument here with you. If you don't like the plastic mags, fine don't buy any of them. I used to poo poo the plastic mags too back when I could get a com block steelie for $7 and $5.99 shipping. Now that the mags are starting to get up in price and scarcity (relative), everyone wants a small fortune to ship via the most expensive carrier, and I've had some real personal experience with properly built poly mags (circle 10) my thinking has changed.
I applaud magpul's efforts. IF they can make a metal reinforced AK mag to rival a bulgy circle 10 I will buy a lot of them. You can still choose to buy none of them.

About Samuel Adams Black & Brew Coffee Stout
Full bodied and rich with a roasted coffee note. Finishes with underlying hints of sweetness of chocolate, caramel, & dark fruit. Our Coffee Stout is a dark brew that combines roasted coffee with a rich, full-bodied stout. For the authentic coffee flavor, we use 1.5 pounds of Sumatran coffee beans per barrel, added late in the brewing process to provide the most flavor possible. This brew finishes with underlying roasty notes of chocolate, caramel, and dark fruit from our select blend of malts.

Dear Editor,
It must have taken quite a lot of soul searching to make the decision to continue with the RMAC festival this weekend. I commend the organizers for making this difficult choice. The horrid events of the last week have shocked every one of us, but our children need distraction and life must be lived. Families have a right to feel comfortable "in their own backyard" with their neighbors.
My heart goes out to all those who have been victimized by this inconceivable crime. To all the firefighters and rescue workers, you are our heroes.
