The term @font-face makes reference to a CSS rule that allows you to download a particular font from your server to a webpage so people are able to see it without having the font installed, in other words, we are talking about those typographic families or single fonts that are able to be used in different computers without having to be installed on a determined device. Until a few years ago, there were just a few font families that were readable from any PC, because they usually came installed in every PC, such as Arial, Helvetica and Verdana.
Today the range has became wider, allowing people to embed their favorite fonts to their websites by using a few code lines. On this article we will be reviewing some of the best free fonts ready for download that can be used along with the @font-face properties. These fonts will make your designs look the way they're supposed to be from any computer. Also if you still want some more fonts we have selected the best fonts from Google web fonts and put them in a single place, Best web fonts extends your font library a bit more with the bests.

How to implement @font-face?
When you have a font that you definitely want to implement in your website but you sense that not many people have it on their computers and you are not willing to change the font, it's time to think about @font-face.
Implementing @font-face is very simple, here's what you need to do:
@font-face { font-family: DeliciousRoman; src: url(http://www.font-face.com/fonts/delicious/Delicious-Roman.otf); font-weight:400; }
That previous example works when you need to callback the font directly from the server and it has no special properties, such as bold or script, now we'll show you a different example that works when you have a bold font and you are calling it from a server's folder where dir-name is the directory's name.
@font-face { font-family: DeliciousRoman; src: url(dir-name/Delicious-Roman.otf); font-weight:bold; }
And now the code line we use when implementing a TrueType font.
@font-face { font-family: Calibri; src: local("Calibri"), url("fonts/calibri.ttf") format("truetype"); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } body { font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; }
And a very important example, here's what you need to do when working for Internet Explorer.
<!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> @font-face{ font-family:'Fontin-Regular'; src: url('Fontin-Regular.eot'); } </style> <![endif]—>
@Font-Face Generator
The guys from Font Squirrel released this amazing tool that allows people to edit their OpenType and TrueType fonts and male them compatible with @font-face. The tool offers a series of complements that helps people to edit their fonts the way they prefer to.
The generator will give you a compressed file with several files that will help you to implement the chosen font as @font-face.
You can find this great tool at http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator
Fonts for digital and web devices
OK, now that we know how to implement @font-face and setup your custom fonts to support it, let's see an extended roundup featuring 100 of the most beautiful, elegant, useful and simply great free fonts that you can adapt to @font-face.
When choosing a font for your web designs, there are several things to take into account, such as the size, resolution, caliber and aesthetics. In terms of size, you have to remember that the same font will often see smaller on a Mac screen than in a Windows one, so always work to guarantee a good reading in Mac, because that will ensure the reading on a Microsoft PC. We suggest you to use fonts above 14 pt to be easy to read for everyone.
The resolution aspect teach us that we should always work at 72 dpi when working for digital devices, but you must know that most of Apple screens are set up for 72 dpi, while the Microsoft monitors usually are made to work with a 96 dpi resolution. If you move something made at 96 dpi to a 72 dpi monitor, it will look larger than in a 96 dpi monitor, so be careful with this aspect.
Regarding the caliber, it's not the same to use a Sans Serif font with a Script property than a Serif font with Bold, many changes will occur if you play with these values, no matter if you're using the same type of font. Usually bold works for larger texts. Try to always use Sans Serif fonts when your content is going to digital devices and computers.
And with the aesthetics the theme gets more subjective. We only suggest you not to use fonts with many ornaments, small tracking or light colors over light backgrounds. Finally, do not rasterize fonts, because if you do that, people won't be able to rescale it.

Fonts for printing and similar media
Now that we have studied some of the best fonts to implement in digital design, let's talk about print media. We are going to study those fonts that work the best to be read in printed medias and also safe ink in many occasions.
Usually the best font choice that you can make to work in printing is serif fonts, because they're easy to read in small spaces when the amount of text is huge, just take a look at your local newspaper and you will notice what we're talking about.
In terms of resolution, you can use a 150 dpi for newspapers, that will make the cut properly, but if you're working in a magazine such as Rolling Stone, it's imperative to work with a minimal resolution of 300 dpi. Do not use more than 4 different font families in one page, and even that quantity it's excessive, try to make your print creations as clean and simple as you can.
Sans-serif fonts can work with titles and short phrases, so the previous fonts of this countdown can provide you a great assistance at anytime. OK, now we proceed looking at some of the nicest fonts for print medias that also can work with the @font-face property.

Slowly their carriage pulled into the Lord's stables. It gave her time to contemplate her visit to Dawnrose, and she found that as much as it had been pleasing to see her family, it reminded her of her weaknesses and she could not afford those right now.
They had stopped at Popping along the way to Ascocen; she liked the town most of all purely because it gave her the chance to be a little more free if she could get away from her guards. Though since Edaran had been with her, she was restricted in what she could do. So Dalaena spent some time on the waterfront eating fresh cooked fish and listening to the waves. Then she spent the night at Weston Dray's castle, although the Steward informed her that he had been absent for over a week, but he graciously accepted her and even went so far as to throw a feast of salmon, green beans and potatoes cooked in herbs with a cheese sauce, and an array of other foods.
Edaran had found it all very fascinating, he had not done much travelling, so he wanted to see every sight, taste every food, smell the sea and hear the musicians play old songs. He adored it more than she did.
She wondered if that was what she was like when she first came here. Now she was older, it seemed nothing special, though a pleasant distraction regardless. Here she was not constrained by Lordly duties, but a guest and treated as one.
The carriage stopped and she looked around. Part of her wondered if she had brought her weakness with her. I cannot think that.
Dalaena stepped out of the carriage after Arran helped her and she in turn helped her brother. He looked a little queasy, he had not spent so much time as she getting used to the bumpy ways. She giggled at him and he stuck out his tongue, and then regretted it, putting his hand around his stomach.
"So this is Ascocen, eh m'lady?" Arran asked, he smiled at her, and she found his company was highly reassuring.
"Indeed sir." They had entered the castle's stables where the Lords horses stay. From there, you could see much of the city; Arran looked rather amazed by the place. Part of her still held the place in awe; least of all that she would inherit it all someday. "This shall be our home for a long time now Arran, I hope you will not miss home too much."
M'lady, my home is with you." He muttered. Dalaena raised her eyebrows and Arran turned around, scratching the back of his head, his face a little red. "And by that I mean, you are my reminder of home, so it shall not be too bad." Dalaena giggled and moved towards the Keep with Edaran and their guard.
They made the walk down the columned entrance hall. Edaran was looking up and around, his mouth hanging open as he did. Sandstone which was prominent down in the south, tiled the ground and rose up in columns to the ceiling which held a series of paintings wrought in gold frames. Intricate patterns of vines and fruits in green snaked up the columns. Greenery pervaded the room, pots of flowers growing here and there, just like many of the bigger, southern castles.

BMW opens Carbon Fiber plant in Moses Lake WA with 80 jobs
The Moses Lake plant will create 80 new local jobs running at least until 2013. Preparation for large-scale production of BMW i vehicles in 2013 requires starting the fabrication of CFRPs now. All the power needed for this effort will come Washington's readily available, non-polluting and naturally sustainable hydraulic generators.
"About a month ago we presented the first concept cars being launched under our new sub-brand, BMW I, stated Dr. Norbert Reithofer, CEO and Chairman of the Board of BMW Auto Group. "The BMW i3 and the BMW i8 are cars like no other. With their purpose built design they will set new standards for clean individual mobility of the future. Carbon fibers are a key construction material for the automotive industry of the 21st century and will change the way we develop and build cars."
"Thanks to the emission-free drivetrain and a value added chain designed to be sustainable all along the line," reads the company statement, "life cycle emission figures for the BMW i3 are at least a third lower than for a highly efficient combustion-engine car." We're not quite sure what they mean by a "value added chain" but we think it's that the car if powered by electricity from renewable sources, over a lifetime of use its pollution levels will be reduced by 50%.
CFRPs will revolutionize the car industry every bit as much as switching to electrical drive systems, as the quest for lighter-weight and thus more fuel-efficient vehicles continues. With the new SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers plant in Moses Lake, BMW Group and SGL Group are insuring sustainable innovations to provide cleaner personal mobility in the very near future.
The carbon fiber materials produced at the plant will initially be used in the BMW i3, an all-electric car for drivers in urban areas throughout the world. The all-electric BMW i3 is meant to embody intelligent urban transportation and commuting. It will be the first BMW with the innovative LifeDrive architecture.
The Life module part of the design is the passenger compartment made entirely from high-strength, extremely lightweight CFRP. The materials use through much of the car ensures it is remarkably light improving the BMW i3's range and performance.
Taking a leading role in sustainable business operations, BMW and SGL's entire supply chain - ecological, social and economic - has been conscientiously aligned. The manufacture and processing of the carbon fibers and composites will take careful consideration of environmental resources and resulting waste carbon fibers and composite materials will be processed for recycling.

Two new Sig RCS. Commander slide on a lightweight officer grip. Perfect size for a carry 1911 for me anyways. Was looking at a Dan Wesson CCO but was able to pick up two of these for a little less than the cco. Before the flaming I know the cco is much higher quality but getting her a gun to makes it much easier to justify the purchase.... And well the cco will be mine of of these days...
As for the Sigs,I must say the fit and finish on both are great,for the price I am very pleased.
Took both to the range and both ran flawlessly. Low recoil for being a lightweight frame and very accurate. The old rcs is no longer in production according to Sig csm,but new Sku can be ordered. 1911CO-45-SPORTS13.

Yea I'm hoping this will soften the blow when I do decide to pull the trigger on the Dan.
My only worry is that she might want one too....
Nice! What I wouldn't give to be able to buy his and hers pistols.
One question on the RCS...does it have an ambi safety?
Negitive on ambi. I would imagine you could install one though.
Those are some good looking guns you got there. Hope you both enjoy them!

Nice guns, though! That's the same barrel/grip length as Kimber's Pro Carry series, right? That's a great size for shooting and more reasonable carry than a full 1911. Good job on that buy!
Like I always say, the only thing better than one 1911 is TWO! Congrats on a sweet looking pair of pistolas!
As Benjamin Franklin left the hall in Philadelphia, he was asked, What kind of government have you given us, Dr. Franklin? He replied: A republic, if you can keep it.

I am so not a professional. I thought the house was cool, this was taken around Christmas. This house is a National Historic Landmark. It is one of the original Homesteads of the west and I believe one of the very first Homestead in Oregon. It is somewhat kept up, the house isnt but the property it sits on is.

Worlds collide
'You...You're breaking.' Alice exclaims. She places a hand on my cheek, but I move away re-building my glamour. 'If... if it's too much, you can take mine if you wish.' She pauses and smiles 'The celebrations are over.' She laughs, but when her gaze meets with mine, she stops. 'Sorry.' She mumbles. I take up the laughter.
'Take your glamour? It would only break, same as mine. The underworld is breaking through to this one, and in the underworld, we don't need glamours. If we use them down there it is simply for the sake of convenience. Generally they don't last long down there. So now that the underworld is merging with the human world, I don't need this form any longer. Something weird is happening, Alice. Lucifer really didn't like us fighting over the world when he clearly wanted the souls of this world to himself.' I stop and smile to myself. 'We will have full power, at least, even if we can't hide what we are.' Alice is silent after hearing this. As a demon elder – the stupid title we're given if we're seen fit to have near ultimate power – I feel much more of the surrounding world, and indeed the other worlds surrounding this; the underworld being the closest to us right now.

The blob on the map looks like a misID to me...in splendid isolation! It was just that the moth reminded me of the Smoky waves I've seen at Haddon Hill but wasn't sure.

Red Bull's next young charger is set to enter the scene at the energy drink company's second Formula One team.
The BBC is reporting that 21-year-old Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne is slated to drive the Toro Rosso on Friday mornings once his Renault World Series campaign finishes in October.
The current cream of the Red Bull programme, Daniel Ricciardo, has been slotted in at HRT for the second half of the 2011 season and hotly tipped to replace either Jaime Alguersuari or Sebastien Buemi in 2012.
Toro Rosso's 2012 lineup will apparently then feel the pressure from Vergne, who currently runs second in the Renault World Series between leader Robert Wickens and Ricciardo.

dlim Review
Okay.... I have mixed feelings about this Bowery End Table.... First, I LOVE the look of this table! It is EXACTLY how I wanted my table to look like! However, the quality is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am keeping it, because "you get what you paid for". The price is inexpensive, the look is what I wanted, so.... I had to do some adjustments of my own to keep this table! When it arrived, it came unassembled, however very easy to put together! I noticed that the screws on the table top was "loose". I tried to tighten them, but I could tell the screw was either stripped or the "hole" for the screws were too big (Am I making any sense here?). When I turned the table over to sit upright, the entire table-top came right off!!!!!!!!!! Thank God I had some longer screws of my own to use! Now it is sitting in my living room, pretty as can be! Bottom-line, make sure you have some extra screws, in case you need them. They will have to be a little longer than the ones that it came already assembled with. Having them a little wider AND longer would be the perfect match! Just make sure they can fit into the hole and the screw doesn't pop out on the other side because of the length... I would recommend this table to a friend ONLY if the friend wanted an inexpensive table that may or may not last, depending on it's use.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. poor to low average

Dargo: Coldness of a predator
The deer stood in front of me, my blade was drawn if it moved forwards it would meet a bloody death. If it moved backwards Marlowe will have it. The deer ofcourse didn't know this. Marlowe sat on thick branches of a large tree. His cold blue eyes couldn't miss a thing. The deer turned and ran. Marlowe made his move. He leapt off the branch at high speed. He flew through the air like an arrow there was now way of escape for the deer. I watched awe as Marlowe landed on the deer bitting and ripping its head off.
" One thing I noticed about you Marlowe in these many years is you never go back on a decision. What if you mess up?" I asked the feline as it munched on his meal contently.
" I don't mess up. In theory though if I ever do I adapt." He said between bites.
I took out a small knife and cut myself A slab of the deer , and roasted it on the fire.
" I don't understand the cooking of your food." Marlowe snarled
" Just tastes better, plus raw food makes me feel like crap Marlowe." I said
He looked rather disgusted as if I was ruining the food. I finished the dear steak fast. The sun was edging towards the horizon it wasn't going to be dark for a while but I felt the need to leave.
" Well Marlowe I'm going to continue on. Are you going to stay and enjoy the rest of your dear?" I said putting on my empty bag.
" Yes I won't be long." The cat talked with his mouth full.
When he ment by long he ment he'll catch up really fast. He will eat at his usual savouring pace. I kept forgeting he was cold predator and death pleased him. On my hand I killed only when nesscary which meant if it had my survival in it I killed. A few hours before I would hit the camp I could smell smoke from there fires. I could also smell many types of animals. The council is defintly not to far. Behind me I hear a few falling branches. Then Marlowe lands beside me quiet as any feline.
" The branches gave you away Marlowe." I teased
" I would have been silent but I saw an oversized bird carrying a girl. The bird looked tasty." He tried to tease me back.
" I know you wouldn't Marlowe. You have a kind heart when it comes to mythical creatures such as yourself."
In the distance I hear some voice it would be an hours walk for a human , but for me it would be a 10 minute sprint.
" It looks like that oversized bird cuased a small amount of trouble. I'm going to check it out." I said leaping very much like a cat on to branch and to another.
My bond with Marlowe gave me cat like abilities. I could smell , hear, and see things from long distance. It also gave me great physical strength Allowing me to jump great hieghts, and speed. The agility of a cat also came handy in any battle. The only real unhuman trait I gained from our bond was replacement of my nails for claws. Luckily cats have sheatable claws so I could wear gloves , and apear natural,
I jumped down from a stone tree landing softly on the dirt ground in front of a girl with long brown hair , and man with a shield with a griffon on it , and armor. Marlowe followed rate behind me. A shadow covered my dark green eyes making me a little scary looking with my black hair spiked up , and my dark cloke. I turned to face them.
" I guess I missed the meeting, but I'm not part of the council anyways. Names Dargo, and my feline friend here is Marlowe." I said with my hand outstretched. The dried leather gloves was rude , But those claws are my secret.

Eye Contact
I squeezed my eyes shut and held on tight as Wyatt ran across the bridge.
I could hear the wood of the bridge creaking and groaning underneath us, I could hear the wind rushing past my ears as he ran with inhuman speed across the bridge.
I was probably choking the poor guy, but hey he told me to hold on to him, plus who would pass up an opportunity to be this close to any hot guy?
"Hey you can open your eyes now, and for my sake, please lose the death grip you have around my neck?
I smiled shyly and climbed off of his back.
I looked around the place where we were standing.
It was even more beautiful up close. The city's streets were sparkling as though they were made of gold and silver, the buildings rose up as high as you could see and glittered with every color you could imagine.
Wyatt grabbed my hand again, pulling me out of my daze.
"You do that too often" he said "that daydreaming thing, its kind of freaky to watch."
I turned to him and smiled as apologetically as I could.
"And since you're new here, I will personally show you to your room. Oh and don't make eye contact with ANY of the people here, I know we are all super attractive, but it'll just end badly."
I laughed silently at him while he pulled me through the streets.
There was almost no one outside in the streets. It was odd considering it was like the middle of the day, around normal people's lunch breaks.
I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't notice that Wyatt had stopped walking, so I ran directly into his back.
He turned around to see me pouting at him, "Oh come on, don't do that to me." He pleaded, moving toward me
"I might not be able to control myself" he whispered in a low voice in my ear making me gasp. He moved away from me laughing, as I just stood there staring at him with the dumbest look ever on my face.
It wasn't like I had never had a boyfriend, but every relationship I've ever been in has ended with me crying and stuffing my face with chocolate and watching chick flicks. I just wasn't used to anyone talking like that to me, like they wanted me.
"Would you snap out of it?" Wyatt's voice broke through my thoughts
"I need to show you to your room before he kills me for making you late."

This is a lovely idea, so congratulations to Dayla for getting it rolling. Thanks also for being kind to us prosers (or is that posers?). As a way to get to know the work of other authors this is definitely a great idea. Not only do we get to see who knows whom, or who has found inspiration in others, but we get to see some writing too! I am adapting the style slightly and using this as a platform to give my thanks to particular authors. This is not to say that unmentioned authors are not appreciated, but even those few I have met far outnumber the number I could mention properly.
Robyn (aka jdxx), thank you. I owe you postings. Your own insights into the human condition have been amusing and endearing, and occasionally a bit tear-bringing. (Ack. I think a poetical device infects this story. Where might my spray be?) I have no doubt that all your own dreams of your writing will come to pass. It has been a pleasure to have encountered you on my own journey of exercising my creative brain.
Looking through the list of tagged authors, I see some I know and many I do not. It is great to see such an influx of good authors. As so many of the people I saw mentioned are new to the site, I thought I might return to some of the people who have made my time here wonderful, both as writers and as part of this great community. Here are a few of my thanks.
Thank you Jack. Your humour is legendary. I know each time I delve into that scary mind of yours I will find something wonderful (or wonderfully twisted). Thank you for prodding me along and not letting our story die. Thank you for encouraging words, listening to me whine, and for doing what you can to make this site a great place both through your writing and through your own comments, adding of branches, joking around, etc. You were one of the first people I got to know through Davey and Joe and I am lucky to count you among my friends as well as co-conspirators against characters.
Eloosive, you deserve much praise. Your writing is fantastic. Whatever you tackle you bring it to life and so often you offer it up to others. The generosity of spirit is greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing your creativity and inspiring us all. Thank you also for being so welcoming and for all the encouraging comments. Do not stop lurking on the site. We would miss you terribly if you did not check obsessively to see what was new. Your sense of humour is a wonderful gift you have shared with us all and I know it will take you far.
Tasha Noble, what can I say? I am very much looking forward to buying your first book. You are an inspiration in your own story and I am lucky to have met you, been inspired by you, and become friends. You are amazingly supportive to all you encounter and always have kind words of encouragement. Your work to keep this site a place you enjoy reminds me to do my own part to keep Protagonize special with collaborative stories and a sense of community that comes not only from commenting but from working together. Your own writing is astounding, with the perfect blend of humour with whatever other genre you tackle. The simple fact that you wrote "Henry," "Paddytum" and "Bella" shows just how talented you are. Three very different stories that are all wonderful in their own way.
RiverTalker, I think the entire site owes you thanks. Always kind words, encouragement. You manage to read and comment on so many things, then you encourage others to participate. Your writing is lyrical and evocative (and prolific!) and it is all a wonderful contribution to the site. You are someone any author could turn to both for compliments and for suggestions. You move silently in the background so often, pushing us all to continue, listening to our woes and doing what you can to keep us going. We are all lucky that you have the time to spend hanging out with us here.
TheMist, you scare me. And I like it. It took me far too long to finally delve into your writing and I am now quite thoroughly hooked. You shared your struggles with writer's block with us all, and managed to produce some beautiful work in the process. You take constructive criticism with grace and manage to write astounding chunks of prose even when you should be sleeping. Moreover, it makes sense! Amazing. Thank you for becoming a friend. A little chance conversation and now we have a story and someone to talk to! Who knew?
Olius, you have been mentioned before, and I know you will be again. How you manage to write so much and still keep up with everything else is beyond me, but count me just a little bit jealous. Your stories, orphaned or not, are always worth the read. Thank you for sharing so much and being so willing to let others stick their fingers in your pies. Not just that, thank you for encouraging people to do so. It is definitely generous of you, whether you see that or not. I wish you all the best, and many new posts on your stories.
Seldom, your ability to fit yourself into a story and take it forward deserves serious note. Your care for orphans is wonderful. I remember Tasha telling me once that the two of you had written a story that meshed so seamlessly that others had problems telling who had posted the most recent chapter. I think that is the greatest testament to your skill anyone could make. You have your own voice, no doubt about that, and yet you also understand the joy of meshing work in a collaborative story to make it a single, seamless whole. I think you were also the first person to offer me some constructive criticism on this site. So thank you for that.
RedHat, you make me laugh. The simple insanity of choosing to write as the crazy woman formulated from various ex-girlfriends deserves some kudos. I enjoy your writing and I enjoy collaborating with you. I am very glad I answered your Personal ad! Thank you for bending with me. I never doubt that your characters live in your mind and haunt you even when you are not writing.
ElzuWolfe, thank you for baring your soul. Your poetry is beautiful and clearly expresses pieces of yourself and whatever you are seeking to portray. You have a true way with words. Thank you for branching out and trying out some prose with me. You may feel unsure of it, but I promise that you are just as capable of capturing the small moments where true life lies whatever form you choose to use.

No. 3 Ole Miss gets 35-20 win over No. 14 Texas A&M
Bo Wallace ran for two scores and threw a touchdown pass and Mississippi's defense added two scores to help the third-ranked Rebels remain undefeated with a 35-20 victory over No. 14 Texas A&M on Saturday night.
Wallace gave Mississippi (6-0, 3-0 SEC) an early lead with touchdown runs on consecutive possession in the first quarter. Cody Prewitt returned an interception 75 yards for a score in the second quarter to make it 21-0.
A&M (5-2, 2-2) cut it to 14 in the third quarter, but Wallace answered with 33-yard touchdown pass and Mississippi padded the lead with a fumble return for a TD early in the fourth quarter.
Kenny Hill threw for 401 yards and two touchdowns, but also had two interceptions and a fumble for the Aggies, who lost for the second straight week after opening the season 5-0.

A bit of colour was added to Esplanadi park this summer.
Do you like seeing spots?
Posted in Helsinki sites | Tagged Esplanadi, Finland, Helsinki, public art, spots, trees | 2 Comments »
Porvoo is one of only 6 medieval towns in Finland. It is first mentioned in texts from the 14th century. At one time it was the second largest town in Finland.
It is connected to the Gulf of Finland via the Porvoo a River, and this is how we arrived in town. We took a leisurely cruise on the Runeberg from Helsinki, 50 kilometres away.
Sailing into town on a gorgeous summer day was a delight.
The red coloured wooden buildings along the river were originally painted red in honour of Gustav III, king of Sweden.
Lovely restaurants line the river. We enjoyed a delicious salmon lunch at one of the waterside cafes.
The whole town is a living museum. Gorgeous wooden buildings line the cobblestone streets and laneways. The architecture is stunning.
There are some lovely shops selling all sorts of great things…and great restaurants and cafes.
The centre of the town is the pretty stone and brick cathedral. It has been burnt down several times, but is looking good today after the last restoration.
There is much to see in Porvoo. We enjoyed our day. We caught the bus back to Helsinki.
The disappearing town looked great nestled among the trees.

My friends Kirsi and Neil are in Helsinki now and took these great photos of the fabulous installation called Meren Elamat…Sea Lives.
The creatures are made from bits of plastic.
There is always something happening in vibrant Helsinki. will be back in 2 weeks…can't wait.

Helsinki harbour is beautiful, perfect for a boat trip to Porvoo on the Runeberg.
We sailed out on a gorgeous morning, a little hazy, but great anyway.
We glided past Suomenlinna.
…past King's Gate.
…and along the coast.
We arrived at the entrance to Porvoo.
Porvoo will be the subject of the next post…it is a wonderful historical town.

El Fant is a welcome addition to the food scene in Helsinki.
The decor is clean and bright and the food looks delicious.
I ordered the blueberry porridge and liked it so much I went back the next morning and had it again.
The carrot cake was also good and the coffee, from a local roastery, is excellent.
I'm sure El Fant will do very well.
Find El Fant at number 3 Katariinankatu, not far from Senate Square and the harbour.

The weather in Helsinki is wonderful right now. It is warm and sunny and it seems everyone is outside enjoying it.
I came upon a group of folk dancers in Esplanadi practising…it looked like fun.
Another group was on stage strutting their stuff.
Summer in Helsinki is great.

When I was in Helsinki late last year I was disappointed to find the main Marimekko shop on Esplanadi closed for renovation.
I returned earlier this year and was very pleased to see the newly renovated shop. It is not quite as big as before, and it is no longer on Esplanadi, but further down Mikonkatu.
It can also be entered via the Kampi shopping centre. There are several other places to buy Marimekko in Helsinki, but this one has always been my favourite.

Bratz The Movie Parent Review
Movie Review
I'll admit I'm out of my league when it comes to the Bratz. Having all sons, we've missed the craze at our house. However, I've seen enough of the dolls with their sexy clothes, brash attitudes and come-hither looks to know they're not necessarily the kind of girls I want my boys bringing home.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
Surely though, with millions of dollars in sales, someone is bringing the Bratz home. And in an era when a movie can be more about marketing than it is about storyline, it seemed only a matter of time until the girls should venture onto the big screen. The problem was how to bring those flaunting fashionistas to life and still earn a PG rating that would allow their hordes of little fans to see their film.
Director Sean McNamara appears to have skirted the problem by toning down their provocative personas and dramatically improving their modesty levels. He's also sent them off to high school as fresh-faced freshmen where they encounter the clique-riddled campus of Carry Nation, reigned over by a bad-to-the-bone, self-centered snob of a student body president, Meredith Dimly (Chelsea Staub). As the daughter of the school's principle, a cowering dimwit aptly named Dimly (and unfortunately played by veteran actor John Voight), she runs the school with an iron fist and maintains her popularity by keeping everyone segregated into their assigned factions.
But after two years of cowering to Meredith's wishes and going their separate ways---Jade (Janel Parrish) as a science/home-ec geek, Chloe (Skyler Shaye) as a soccer star, Sasha (Logan Browning) as a cheerleader and Yasmin (Nathalia Ramos) as a journalist and wanna-be singer---the girls realize they still want to be friends. That's when they decide to break free of Meredith's tyrannical rule and stoop to some revengeful tactics of their own.
However, while they talk about breaking up the cliques, it is more common to see these BFFs (Best Friends Forever) hanging out in the mall. Invited to Meredith's second Super Sweet 16 extravaganza, the first thing the foursome has to do is find something new to wear. Unfortunately, Chloe (the impoverished girl who has still managed to go through numerous outfit changes) laments she has nothing to wear and no money to buy new clothes. Luckily for her, Jade has not one, but two, gold-enveloped gift certificates from her divorced parents who are competing for her love and she magnanimously passes one on to Chloe so that the girls' consumer frenzy won't be interrupted by a lack of funds.
It's a blatant buy, buy, buy attitude with extravagant parties (complete with an elephant and MTV film crew), and a feel good finale that rivals anything Broadway could muster up on stage.
To its credit, most of the film's content is as bland as the girl's personalities. Other than Meredith's treacherous acts, there is little more than brief profanities, a couple of super short skirts, a few quick smooches and some schoolyard fights. The moviemakers also temper the consumerism by showing the girls working together for a common goal.
Still Bratz: The Movie is little more than 90 minutes of painful fluff. However, if this latest trend is something your daughter just can't miss, at least these modified Bratz are a tamer version of what you'll find on store shelves.Starring Nathalia Ramos, Janel Parrish, Logan Browning, Skyler Shaye. Running time: 110 minutes. Theatrical release August 2, 2007. Updated April 2, 2009

Bratz The Movie Parents Guide
In this film, the bad characters are very, very bad and the good characters are very, very good. Is this a realistic portrayal? How accurate is the film's depiction of high school?
Cliques are a major theme in the movie. Why do people form cliques? Can a person be a member of only one interest group? Does the constant portrayal of cliques in movies reinforce the idea in a real high school setting?
In what ways do the girls support and help each other? How do they deal with their ethnic, financial and interest differences?

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Dodge vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your automobile. When your Dodge Polara left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes a trusted name in their automobile. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the aggressive styling built into each Dodge, and understand that only the best replacement Polara parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
Without the properly working ignition timing system developed for the internal combustion engine, we would need an alternative like the turbine engines we find in jets. The fact that your Dodge Polara has a distributor means that it is mechanically timed. There are many different components inside your distributor, none of which are indestructible. However, since the distributor drive gear and shaft rotate hundreds of thousands of times each day, the whole part is bound to fail eventually. Your replacement Dodge Polara distributor should be just as good as your original.
Don't let a Distributor repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Dodge Polara part for your needs. All the Dodge Polara Distributor parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964, 1963, 1962, 1961, 1960.

Date of Stay: October, 2015
This is a hidden gem. Nothing fancy, but a pretty little valley with a meadow with horses and donkeys. Long, level pull thrus with full hookups. Our site was open, which I like, but many sites have ample shade. Owner is a real nice fellow who met me outside the office, signed me in promptly and guided me to the site. Hard to beat this place for $24.75. Cullman is not far and has everything most people might be looking for.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
This is one our our very favorite places to stay in the country. With the Mississippi 50 yds out your front windshield, full hookups for $35/night.....hard to beat. Very well maintained park. A true hidden gem!
Date of Stay: July, 2014
We have stayed here a couple times before and were very happy. At $20/night it was a real bargain. Went to check in and was told the rate was now $40 because they had suffered a lot of damage in the past year. At $20 it was probably under-priced. $30 would be fair, but for $40 we expect something special. A smoky casino and mediocre restaurant is not reason enough to bring us back.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
Check-in was quick and easy and the owner was very nice and friendly. The rate ($38.88 including tax) surprised me. Halfway on our cross country trip, this was the most expensive park we have stayed at. Roads are narrow with trees hitting the coach roof and sides. Space was just long enough for our 40 footer towing. Could not get completely level. No cable, trees blocked the satellite, and we could only get three over the air TV channels, though they advertise 9. Could not receive Wi-Fi. For the price, I would advise choosing somewhere else.

Hi guys! Are you still out there?
So it's been about a whole year and a half, since I published my last post. Since then I've been pregnant, become a mom, been on maternity leave and is now back a work.
I guess somewhere in the middle of it all, I lost track of updating bumbumbum.me. But I've never stopped keeping myself updated. And so, I think bumbumbum.me has had it's last update, but if you still want to be inspired you can follow me over at Pinterest

|Laundry Shop in Chungking Mansions Hong Kong
Perhaps the cheapest laundry service in Hong Kong can be availed of in Chungking Mansions. There are at least two laundry shops on the ground floor. They charge by weight and the prices start at around 30 HKD for 3.62 KG (8 lb) of laundry without pressing. No personal experience so I cannot say anything about the quality. The Chinese Laundry shop in the above picture looks good to me.
International Food
|Indian Vegetarian Food in Chungking Mansions Hong Kong
I spotted Indian, Pakistani (also sold as Indian), Nepali, African, Middle Eastern, and Chinese food shops at the ground floor. There are some country specific grocery shops too. Someone looking to buy packaged ready to eat Indian food like MTR brand Indian ready to eat curries can go to these shops. A word of caution here. Shop rentals are very high in Chungking Mansions. Cooking is not allowed in the shop so the shop owners need to rent an apartment in some other floor for cooking. Thus the cost of food here is much higher than it should be. Quality of food also varies depending on the factors at play. Unsold food at the end of the day is not thrown away. Some shops do not have fixed prices. A cup of Indian Chai can cost either 5 or 10 HKD depending on whether or not the customer confirmed the price before ordering. My advice here is, eat in Chungking Mansions only if you must.

Problems and Scams
The biggest scam prone business in Chungking Mansions is of guest houses. Someone told me that there are around 250 guest houses in this building. I do not know if that is true but know for sure that one guest house (some are called hotels) may be functioning from one or even half of a residential apartment in Chungking Mansions. The so called rooms in these guest houses are match-box sized cabins with hardly any space to keep anything larger than a medium sized travel bag. Some of them have private miniature bathrooms too. The scams are of two types. One, the tariffs are not fixed and depend entirely on demand and supply. Some of the guest houses do have fixed tariffs for advance booking through booking sites such as HostelBookers. The problem with advance booking is that one rarely gets what one sees on the booking site. Tripadvisor guest ratings are manipulated by the guest house owners who post fake reviews to increase their guest rating.
|Canada Hotel That Runs Illegal Guest House in Chungking Mansions Hong Kong
How to avoid the Guest House Scam in Chungking Mansions Hong Kong
(i) Never do advance booking for a guest house
Walk-in guests get the best rooms in guest houses in Chungking Mansions because they are able to actually see what they are getting for the price. They are also offered the best prices because the guest house owner knows if the price and value equation does not match, the prospective guest will walk away. On the other hand, the poor souls who have done advance booking, made part or full advance payment or have given their credit card numbers to the booking site, have so choice but to take what is given to them. Avoid staying at Chungking Mansions in the first place. If you can't, see the room before making any payment.
I have later stayed at a hostel in Fortress Hill at a much lower price than I paid to the illegal Canada Hotel and that was not bad. Read my review of Yesinn @Fortress Hill here.
(ii) Never stay in a guest house that uses colored bed linen
If you see the bed linen of any color other than White in a guest house in Chungking Mansions, just walk away. If the bed linen is of a dark color, there is more than a 50% chance that the bed linen has not been changed after the last guest checked out. Take care of your health and stay somewhere else.

Glamorgan missed the chance to go top of Division One last night amid chaotic scenes at a wet Worcester.
With the skies threatening to open at any moment and both sides consulting their Duckworth/Lewis charts, Worcestershire squeaked home at 10.45pm.
At times, this rain-affected 18-over-a-side slog resembled a French farce, but it almost turned into a Greek tragedy when Adrian Dale top-edged an attempted pull off Kabir Ali into his face. For a moment, everyone went quiet, but there was a sigh of relief when Dale was helped off moments later.
Mark Wallace was run out by a direct hit by Vikram Solanki next ball and Glamorgan began David Leatherdale's final over needing 10. This became four off the final ball after Michael Kasprowicz had been castled, but Alex Wharf connected only with fresh air and had to listen to the exploding fireworks just to rub it in.
Set 126, Glamorgan had been cruising at 63 for two after eight overs with Matthew Maynard timing the ball like a magician. But Maynard drove Matt Mason to mid-on, before Jonathan Hughes was mistakenly given out caught behind after the ball missed his bat but brushed the off stump.
Worcestershire's total of 117 for five was based on 43 in 36 balls from their captain Ben Smith, who uppercut consecutive balls from Wharf for six and helped smash Owen Parkin's last over of the innings for 20. It proved crucial.

France will begin proceedings to extradite the former dictator Manuel Noriega to Panama, after the United States gave its consent.
Noriega is in prison in France after being convicted of laundering millions of euros into French bank accounts and properties in the 1980s. But Panama wants him extradited so that he can serve sentences in his homeland for assorted crimes.
Noriega, 77, served 20 years in prison in the United States for drug trafficking, money laundering and racketeering before being extradited to France in 2010, where in 1999 he had been sentenced in absentia to seven years in jail. He had been expected to qualify for early release.
"The consent of the United States opens the administrative phase of the extradition procedure of Manuel Noriega," the French foreign ministry said in an online briefing. "The government is preparing the extradition decree which will be notified to the concerned party."
Noriega has a month to launch any process to fight the extradition.
Born into poverty, Noriega fought his way to the top of Panama's military in the early 1980s, and was the country's de facto ruler until he was ousted by US forces in 1989. During his rule, Panama was a major distribution platform for cocaine from Colombian drug cartels, with multimillion-dollar kickbacks going straight to Noriega.Reuse content

Longfellow's poem is credited with creating the national legend of Paul Revere, a previously little-known Massachusetts silversmith.[9] Upon Revere's death in 1818, for example, his obituary did not mention his midnight ride but instead focused on his business sense and his many friends.[17] The fame that Longfellow brought to Revere, however, did not materialize until after the Civil War amidst the Colonial Revival Movement of the 1870s.[18] In 1875, for example, the Old North Church mentioned in the poem began an annual custom called the "lantern ceremony" recreating the action of the poem.[19] Three years later, the Church added a plaque noting it as the site of "the signal lanterns of Paul Revere".[20] Revere's elevated historical importance also led to unsubstantiated rumors that he made a set of false teeth for George Washington. Revere's legendary status continued for decades and, in part due to Longfellow's poem, authentic silverware made by Revere commanded high prices. Wall Street tycoon J. P. Morgan, for example, offered $100,000 for a punch bowl Revere made.[21]
In 1883, Boston held a national competition for an equestrian statue of Revere. It was won by Cyrus Edwin Dallin, although his model was not accepted until 1899, and the statue was not dedicated until 1940. It stands in "Paul Revere Plaza," opposite the Old North Church.
In 1896 Helen F. Moore, dismayed that William Dawes had been forgotten, penned a parody of Longfellow's poem:
- 'Tis all very well for the children to hear
- Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere;
- But why should my name be quite forgot,
- Who rode as boldly and well, God wot?
- Why should I ask? The reason is clear—
- My name was Dawes and his Revere.[22]
For a long time, historians of the American Revolution as well as textbook writers relied almost entirely on Longfellow's poem as historical evidence – creating substantial misconceptions in the minds of the American people. In re-examining the episode, some historians in the 20th century have attempted to demythologize Paul Revere almost to the point of marginalization. While it is true that Revere was not the only rider that night, that does not refute the fact that Revere successfully completed the first phase of his mission to warn Adams and Hancock. Other historians have since stressed Revere's importance, including David Hackett Fischer in his book Paul Revere's Ride (1995), a scholarly study of Revere's role in the opening of the Revolution.
In 2007, the United States Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp with images referencing the poem. Longfellow is represented by a painting by artist Kazuhiko Sano.[23]
