Home Improvement Advice For New Homeowners
Performing your own home improvements doesn't have to be overwhelming, but people experienced with remodeling, repairing, and improving their homes know that a few simple tips and tricks can make a huge difference. If you're thinking of embarking on some new home improvements, bear the following tips in mind to make sure everything goes right and nothing goes wrong.
A great way to let outdoor light inside your kitchen is by using minimal window coverings. Using dark drapery and valances can block out natural lighting and make your kitchen appear dark. Using a light colored curtain or sheer, can be a great help in lighting up your kitchen, the natural way. Ensure your aircon system works well with our aircon servicing packages.
During summertime, go outside and pick some wildflowers. Place the wildflowers between the pages of an old and unwanted phonebook. Pile about 50 to 60 pounds of books on top of the phonebook to press the flowers dry. After about a week or two of pressing, adhere your flowers to a piece of cardstock and hang them in your room. They create a great focal point as well as a nature friendly approach to home decorating.
Just because your bedroom doors are dirty, don't throw them out. Simply take the door down, and sand it until you can see the bare wood. Then, find an oil that you can paint over the door with. Change to more modern doorknobs, too.
Improvements to your home will not pay you back right away. Don't make any upgrades or improvements to your home if you will be moving in less than three to five years. This is now the time frame that it takes in order to recoup the costs of the upgrades that you make.
These simple tips should have helped you see some new perspectives on home improvement, which will get you thinking creatively about what will work and won't work in your own home. Learning to think cleverly about how you make improvements will be a valuable skill as you gain experience and tackle more complex home improvement jobs.
Simple Plumbing Tips You Have To Read
Well, you've decided to perfect the plumbing of your house. Good for you! However, there is so much information that you may not know where to begin. Don't worry, plumbing tips are here! Listed below are some tips that will help you get started and organized, so that you can become a plumbing expert.
When concerned with plumbing, you need to know what can cause noisy pipes. This is important because it can mean the difference between an annoying noise and flooding in your house. Do your research to distinguish between the different noises and hire a professional if any serious risk is posed.
Set up a time when all plumbing work will be completed at one time. You might be tempted to contact a plumber every time you face a small problem, but if you have problems repaired all at once, you will have time to save money for the fixes. Doing this can also save you money, since it's common for plumbers to charge hourly rates. It'll condense the total amount of time they need to spend to something you can more easily afford.
By installing shower heads that are more efficient, you will be able to save a lot of money. Most of our hot water is used in the shower. Water-conserving shower heads are relatively affordable, but using them can save you a great deal of money within a single year. Look and hire a reliable and value for money plumber singapore with us.
Drain the sediment from the bottom of your hot water heater twice a year to keep the hot water heater working at its optimal levels. Simply open the drain valve and allow the water to run out into a bucket until the water runs clear. Then close the drain valve.
You should feel better after reading those tips when it comes to plumbing. That was a lot to read through, but at least you should have an idea of what to do and where to begin with your home's plumbing. Besides, you can always come back to this list if you need to.

Dummies Rob Delivery Man At Their Own House
Dumb criminals aren't limited to Wayne County and Florida... the newest one lives right near Billy in the city.
Two people have been arrested and charged for robbing a pizza delivery man.
Rochester Police say the delivery man, who works for Salvatore's Pizzeria on Dewey Avenue, was making a pizza delivery to a home on Dewey Avenue just before 4:30p.m. on Friday.
When he arrived at the house, police say 21-year-old Anthony Mayhew was waiting for him and threatened him with a club. The man was forced to leave the food, cash and his phone and left the area to call 911.
Police found Mayhew and 27-year-old Catherine Manchester inside a home on Velox Street and charged them with robbery, grand larceny and criminal mischief.
Who robs someone from their own house? Kind of makes you easy to find.

I have to get my dh to tell me more about his own experiences as well,but he is a bit tigh lipped on the issue(understandable).
The second abstract mentions what the men remember about their own circs.Some do remember the pain,fear,shame.I am suprised to read one was happy.Maybe happy to finally have it over with since he knew it could not be avoided,but I doubt actually happy to have his penis cut!

MU Veterinarian Part of Team Establishing
Trauma Care Network
Each year, approximately 1 in 10 cases seen at large veterinary referral centers are a result of traumatic injury. Trauma is the second leading cause of death in companion animals, with only infection claiming more lives of pets younger than 1, and cancer being responsible for more deaths in older pets. In an effort to improve emergency care and try to save more lives, the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ACVECC) Veterinary Committee on Trauma (VetCOT) is establishing a network of Veterinary Trauma Centers that will be seeded by a network of lead hospitals around the country. These Veterinary Trauma Centers will work together to define high standards of care and share information to improve trauma patient management and recovery.
Dr. Tony Mann, MU professor and director of Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care Service at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, is chairman of the VetCOT Education Subcommittee, which is tasked with developing the Veterinary Advanced Trauma and Life Support (VATLS ) certification course. One of the requirements for a veterinary institution to maintain the verification as a Veterinary Trauma Center will be to have designated staff members complete certification in VATLS. The ACVECC diplomates who are working with Mann to develop the course curriculum met at the MU College of Veterinary Medicine recently to prioritize which skills and techniques are most crucial for veterinarians to know in a trauma emergency.
"We need to narrow down the information to what we can teach in a day-and-a-half," Mann explained. "What do emergency veterinarians need to know right now to save a life in a situation of, 'this animal will die if you don't do this'," he said. He said much of the training will focus on what are usually the two most immediate threats: life-threatening bleeding and respiratory distress. The course is intended to take the training veterinarians learn while in school to a more advanced level.
"By working collaboratively with leaders in the veterinary trauma field throughout the country, advancements in trauma care will be shared between centers rapidly, assuring the most severely injured patients have access to the most advanced therapies," said Dr. Kelly Hall, a board-certified emergency and critical care veterinarian, coordinator of the University of Minnesota's Animal Trauma Center and chair of the VetCOT.
The criteria and expectations for Veterinary Trauma Centers include:
The team working to develop the VATLS certification course includes:
Dr. F.A. (Tony) Mann. Mann received his DVM from the Ohio State University in 1982, completed a 13-month small animal medicine and surgery rotating internship at the University of Missouri in 1983, and completed a small animal surgical residency and master of science in veterinary medicine and surgery at Texas A&M University in 1986. He served as an assistant professor in small animal surgery at Auburn University from 1986 to 1988. He returned to MU in 1988 as an assistant professor. He passed the board certification examination of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons in 1989 and the board certification examination of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care in 1995. He was promoted to full professor in 2006.
Dr. Dennis T. (Tim) Crowe. Crowe graduated with honors from Iowa State University in 1972. He completed an internship at Colorado State University and undertook a special rotation in surgery at Pouder Valley Hospital. He went on to complete a surgical residency at The Ohio State University in 1976 and then practiced in Detroit for two years before joining the faculty at the University of Georgia as a surgeon and chief of Emergency and Critical Care. He became a founder of the ACVECC in 1989. He is currently the chief of Surgery and Critical Care at the Regional Institute for Veterinary Emergencies and Referrals in Chattanooga, Tenn. Along with being a Diplomate Emeritus in the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, he is also Charter Diplomate of the ACVECC, and a Fellow in the American College of Critical Care Medicine.
Dr. Jennifer Devey. Devey received her DVM from the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph in 1988. She completed an emergency and critical care internship in 1992 at the Animal Emergency Center in Milwaukee, Wisc., and completed an emergency and critical care residency there in 1996. She became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care in 1996. Devey subsequently completed a surgical residency in 2004 studying at several private practices. She has been director of emergency and intensive care services at a number of large private referral practices in Canada and the United States – most recently at Lauderdale Veterinary Specialists in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where she was the department head of the emergency and critical care service and director of education. She has been the lab coordinator for the International Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Symposium since 2006 and she has also served on the education and research committee for the European Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society since 2006.
Dr. Gregory R. Lisciandro. Lisciandro received his DVM degree from Cornell University, completed a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the Animal Medical Center in New York City, and has become a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care and the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (Companion Animal). He has published clinical research that documented the clinical utility of an ultrasound-applied fluid scoring system that reliably predicts the need for blood transfusion(s) in traumatized dogs; and developed TFAST, a thoracic ultrasound scan, to rapidly survey traumatized dogs and cats for life-threatening intrathoracic injury; and most recently developed a third novel abbreviated lung ultrasound exam, called Vet Blue, used for rapid characterization of canine and feline respiratory distress. Currently, he is chief of Emergency and Critical Care at the Emergency Pet Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Dr. Claire R. Sharp. Sharp is an assistant professor and specialist in small animal emergency medicine and critical care at the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in North Grafton, Mass. She studied veterinary medicine and surgery at Murdoch University, in Australia, graduating in 2002. She completed her rotating small animal internship at Oklahoma State University, followed by an internship and residency in small animal emergency and critical care at the University of Missouri. Dr. Sharp received her masters of veterinary clinical sciences and became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care in 2010.
The two-day session to develop the VATLS course was sponsored by several companies that produce veterinary medical equipment and supplies: Abbott Animal Health, Ethicon, Mila International Inc., Smiths Medical and SurgiVet, and Vet Imaging.

Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /var/www/web/classes/NewsItem.php on line 386
Have you been holding off paying $19 a month for Unreal Engine 4 because it doesn't support the next generation of consoles?
If that is the case then start spending as the 4.1 update released this week has introduced support for both Playstation 4 and Xbox One. This brings the total number of supported platforms to 7 (Windows, Linux (Preview), SteamOS (Preview), PS3, PS4, 360 and Xbox One) as well as having Oculus Rift support too.
Although the 4.1 update has been certified by Sony and is currently being certified by Microsoft it won't stop game makers submitting their UE4 Games to either platform for approval
As listed in the release notes there is also plenty of new content demos and templates for you to get your hands on

Cukurs was accused of killing thirty-two thousand Latvian Jews in 1941.
Similar attacks then followed against the Latvian Ministry of Defence and Defence Forces sites.
Aijo is a son of a Latvian and a Ugandan and has lived in London in recent years.
Her books have been translated into numerous languages, including Chinese and Latvian.
The Latvian government deprived him of citizenship for such activity.
More so than any American activist that was dumping out bottles of Latvian vodka thinking it was Russian in the summer of 2013.
I was born in Latvian territory, which was at that time Russia.
It seems to me that the Latvian filbert will be ideal for the northern part of the North America.

Despite Union Targeting, Wal-Mart Reports Record Sales For Black Friday - Wake up America Nov 23, 2012, 7:01 pm
By Susan Duclos
As Ben Shapiro headlines over at BG: Union Fail!
Despite union efforts to target retailers like Walmart, businesses are reporting record Black Friday traffic ' the biggest sign yet that the unions are out of touch with the American people. Starting at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, Walmart put its products on Black Friday sale, sparking a run to the stores and earning the stores record sales.
LA Times reports:
After opening earlier than in previous Thanksgiving weekends, Wal-Mart reported its 'best ever Black Friday' sales, including bigger crowds than last year, the company said Friday.
The retailer rolled out deals starting at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. From 8 p.m. to midnight, Wal-Mart processed nearly 10 million register transactions, handling 5,000 items a second, the company said. Mmore than 22 million shopped in Wal-Mart's stores during the four-hour period.
Last year, the chain opened at 10 p.m.
More than 1.3 million employees are staffing the holiday weekend, Wal-Mart U.S. chief executive Bill Simon said in a statement.
The company split its sales into three time periods, each with a different type of merchandise available. At 8 p.m., toys, games and home apparel went on sale. At 10 p.m., electronics. At 5 a.m., jewelry, tools and other items.
Since 8 p.m. Thursday, Wal-Mart had sold 1.8 million towels, 1.3 million televisions, 1.3 million dolls and 250,000 bicycles, the company said in a statement released at about 6:30 a.m. PST.
'We had very safe and successful Black Friday events at our stores across the country and heard overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers,' Simon said.
Wal-Mart wasn't the only company recording big payoffs for opening early for Black Friday:
At Sears, which opened for the first time at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, lines were longer than in previous years, said company spokesman Tom Aiello.
"We had lines ranging from 300 to 1,000 people," he said. "Everyone was curious about how the 8 p.m. Thanksgiving evening was going to go. For the most part, once you got into the store it was manageable and the crowds aren't too bad."
Shoppers queued up outside Toys R Us stores, which also opened at 8 p.m., said they were happy to shop after turkey and pie instead of getting up out of warm beds in the middle of the night for good bargains, said Troy Rice, senior vice president of stores and services.
Rice said more families were out and about with kids in tow, hunting for Lego play sets, Barbie dolls and kid-oriented tablet computers.
"It was really a family event that we saw going on last night," he said. "The mood in lines were very positive and celebratory."
Dustin Hamilton, a district manager at Target, said shoppers "voted with their wallets" by storming stores around the Southland at its 9 p.m. opening, which was three hours earlier than last year.
"I spoke with several customers who said it was their first time our for Black Friday, and the reason they were out was because of the earlier openings," he said.

Milvali Salon & Cosmetics
When they first cut the ribbon on Milvali Salon & Cosmetics' namesake location in Mill Valley, beauty experts and best friends Jessika Adams de Vazquez and Deb Monti couldn't have guessed where their partnership would lead. In the nearly 10 years since, the dynamic duo has opened a second location in San Francisco and guided the salons through three expansions. The pair also filled both locations' shelves with their own signature line of mineral- and botanical-based skincare products, which their experienced team of aestheticians incorporates into a variety of custom facials.
But skincare isn't the only thing that Milvali is renowned for. The salon may be most celebrated for its hair extensions, and its estheticians also excel in bikini waxes. Their specialty? Brazilians, using imported wax from Italy that is delicate enough to use on sensitive skin or between the Mona Lisa's eyebrows.

- in Tree Removal by Paul Mclean
Tree Removal and Home Improvement – Sometimes Less is More
In home improvement we are most always focusing on adding more features to a home. Whether it's adding a new room to a basement or building a brand new addition to a house, most of the time its all about "more, more, more". This is a great approach, especially when people get to utilize more of their space (or create new space with extensions to there home).
However sometimes the opposite is true. Sometimes "less is more". This is sometimes looked at as a minimalist approach, and while it doesn't have to quite go to that extreme, it can a good principle to approach a design project with.
Do We Really Need All Those Bushes and Trees
Backyards and frontyards can sometimes get cluttered with overgrown plants. Bushes grow too tall, weeds fill up the lawn, and trees start to dangle dangerously close to windows and expensive siding. Every homeowner has either experienced it for themself or knows a neighbor who yard tends to get overgrown very often.
This is a perfect time for the "less is more" approach, and it's something that a tree removal company can address. They are experts at removing trees whole, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to go that route. They can also approach your yard with strategic pruning and trimming.
Clearing excess limbs from trees, or clearing out bulking bushes or plantlife, can really help to give a clearer view of the potential for your yard. Having more space to focus on what you really want out of your recreation area can really open up possibilities.
A World of Possibilities
The minimalist approach opens up a world of possibilities when it comes to how to use your area. It can be as simple as adding some patio furniture, perhaps a playset for kids or toddlers, a flat space for gardening, or perhaps just a wide open space.
So take this time to discuss with your family how you want to use the backyard. Is there something you've always wanted to do, but never felt you had the space? Perhaps you want to practice your short game with a putting green? Who knows, it's a world of possibilities!
So next time you are thinking about home improvement and renovations, consider not only what you can add to make your home more better, but what extraneous elements can you take away? Perhaps "less" can be "more" for you as well.

This latter mode of attack is advocated by Browne and Behnke, who call it the "slide of the glottis."
How did this critic know that the singer had pinched her glottis?
The head register, likewise, shows the glottis partly closed, and the vibrating ligaments gradually stretched more and more.
I had no time to reflect upon "compressions of the tongue" or "spasms of the glottis."
By this movement the chink of the glottis is thrown wide open into the shape depicted on pl.
There may be œdema of the glottis, especially if ammonia has been taken.
The audible shock of the glottis cannot be avoided when it is necessary to accentuate a word beginning with an initial vowel.
Note the U-shaped hyoid bone surrounding the front of the glottis.
Any attempt to inspire chlorine in its concentrated state would at once prove fatal by closing the glottis and causing asphyxia.
By this method you open the glottis, and in five seconds the thing is done.
1570s, from Greek glottis "mouth of the windpipe," from glotta, Attic dialect variant of glossa "tongue" (see gloss (n.2)).
glottis glot·tis (glŏt'ĭs)
n. pl. glot·tis·es or glot·ti·des (glŏt'ĭ-dēz')
The vocal apparatus of the larynx, consisting of the true vocal cords and the rima glottidis.

There's no such thing as a small year in rugby and next year will be no different. It's also a very important year for Australian rugby to fire on all cylinders in the lead-up to the World Cup in 2015. Looking ahead, here are the key issues on the agenda.
This season has thrown up some impressive performances, especially in the back end. John Eales medallist Michael Hooper has performed incredibly well. His work rate about the park is enormous. He is a leader of sorts by way of what he is able to achieve in the games. His performances have made it easy to forget David Pocock and the influence he has on games. A fit Pocock will be in the team and he's a potential captain under the Ewen McKenzie regime leading up to the 2015 World Cup, but Hooper is a must-have in your team. Pocock will be making his return to rugby next year and will provide another avenue to explore in the back row. It would have been especially difficult sitting on the sidelines but the next two years is all that he needs to worry about for now.
Stephen Moore has had an impressive year leading a pack that, at times, has been under immense duress in the scrum. His performances on the European tour have shown he has plenty to offer. He is the most consistent rake in the country and has to be well managed to make sure his body survives the rigours of Super Rugby to once again turn out in Wallaby gold.
Israel Folau showed in that opening Test in Brisbane against the Lions, he will be a match winner. He hasn't disappointed the fans or his teammates with his ability.
No questioning the biggest influence is the one who controls the general play. Since Stephen Larkham departed the scene, there have been players to occupy the position but not with the same panache. Enter Quade Cooper and the amazing transformation. As the coach said recently, responsibility seems to be sitting well with him. He will be the key to the continued structure in attack as he is an out-and-out 10.
This is an interesting question as all the provinces have a certain style that they wish to play. They all had pros and cons regarding the strategies they used this year with varying degrees of success. It could be a good starting point to gain a melting pot of ideas for the international scene. Maybe what McKenzie would like to see is the adaptation of the Wallabies' style incorporated into the states, led by the senior Wallabies players getting the message across.
Perhaps one of the most difficult jobs of any national coach is blending the players together to form the ''team''. You get the players for limited preparation time. So the coaches are keeping an eye on how the players perform at their provinces in forming their own combinations. In the front row, the Waratahs, Brumbies and the Reds can all contribute two-thirds of the trio quite easily. It's an area that is so important to evolve quickly with some of the woes that happened this year. I imagine both McKenzie and Andrew Blades will be racking up some frequent flyer points spreading the gospel.
The Reds have a ready-made pairing in the second row, as do the Waratahs, and you could scatter the Force, Brumbies and Rebels in there too. The back row is where all provinces thrive. Most notably, the Brumbies with the incumbent Wallabies captain, Ben Mowen, linking with Pocock and Scott Fardy. The Rebels will have Scott Higginbotham and the Force put forward Ben McCalman and Matt Hodgson. Throw in Hugh McMeniman and there is something there. The Reds have Liam Gill and Jake Schatz and I have already mentioned Hooper for the Tahs, plus Wycliff Palu and Dave Dennis.
In the halves, so much has been placed on the shoulders of Will Genia and Cooper. Interestingly the form of these players seems to have switched somewhat, but you need competition and Nic White will keep Genia on his toes. Add Matt Toomua, Christian Lealiifano and Tevita Kuridrani and you could have a Brumbies back row-back line Test combo in the making. Don't forget Bernard Foley, who certainly took his opportunity when presented.
Folau and Adam Ashley-Cooper have thrived in the back three on the international scene. Add Kurtley Beale to the mix when he gets back to his best and there are some lethal counter-attacking options at the Tahs. The Honey Badger Nick Cummins has enormous determination to get to the line and needs more opportunities at the Force to keep his run going.
This season was always going to be an unstable year with the speculation of the coaching arrangements. Some off-field dramas dominated the headlines more than some of the performances - senior players being dropped, a captaincy reshuffle, a VC appointment. The understanding that the team comes first in every situation has to be the consensus and under McKenzie the Wallabies have at least pointed the ship in the right direction.

Greg Dickison
When hiring a new employee, one thing an employer looks at is the job-seeker's
education. He wants to know that this person has the knowledge and skills necessary
to do the work. Employers are looking for as close a match as possible between
the worker and the job. If there is no match, no matter how good the worker is
at something else, he won't get the job. A man might know logging inside and out,
but if he doesn't know rockets, he can't be a NASA engineer.

Apple's updated box of tricks is faster, cheaper and more tempting than before.
The Mac Mini may lack the glamour of the iMac or the stunning new MacBook Air models, but it's maturing into a very capable little machine.
Like last year's models, the 2011 Minis come in base (RRP: $699) and premium (RRP: $899) consumer models, plus a beefed-up server model (RRP: $1099). The stylish unibody aluminium design remains, but the optical drive slots have gone: Apple argues an optical drive is no longer essential for everyday computing, and it has a point.
You can, of course, attach an external drive, or share an optical drive from another Mac or PC over the network. If you want to install Windows, the Boot Camp Assistant can create a bootable USB drive from an ISO image of the Windows DVD.
Apple has retained the same aluminium 'unibody' design.
Round the back, the mini-DisplayPort socket has become a Thunderbolt port, but otherwise external connections are unchanged. You still get HDMI, four USB 2 ports (there's no USB 3 in Apple-land, alas) plus FireWire 800, Gigabit Ethernet and an SDXC slot.
There's dual-band 802.11n and Bluetooth 4 wireless connectivity too. As usual, what you don't get is a keyboard and mouse, but you can use existing PC peripherals so long as you don't mind a few keys being in the wrong places.
Internally, the big news is a switch from ancient Core 2 Duo CPUs to powerful Sandy Bridge processors. The basic Mini now uses a 2.3GHz Core i5-2410M, while the premium one comes with the choice of a 2.5GHz i5-2520M or a 2.7GHz i5-2620M and the server uses a quad-core 2GHz Core i7-2635QM.
These are mobile parts, so power consumption remains low – our review unit idled at around 30W, rising only to 65W under heavy load – but desktop performance is boosted by around 50% over last year's models. In our benchmarks the 2.5GHz model achieved an overall score of 0.72, pointing to a score of around 0.66 for the base model. That's enough power to keep everyday computing tasks snappy and responsive.
Storage has been increased too. The consumer models now come with a 500GB 5,400RPM drive as standard, up from 320GB. You can trade up to a 750GB, 7,200RPM drive or, for the premium and server models, a 256GB SSD – but prices are through the roof, raising the cost by $200 and an eye-watering $400 respectively.
Note that internal drives can only be fitted at the factory: if you need more space down the line you'll have to make do with external storage, or use the SDXC slot at the back of the Mini.
You can at least upgrade the RAM yourself. That's just as well, as the base configuration still comes populated with a rather mean 2GB, and Apple will charge you $120 for an upgrade to 4GB. Unscrew the base to access the two SO-DIMM DDR3 slots, however, and you can install third-party modules costing less than half that.

We orderd the small room for 2 nights and realized that we made a mistake. The room and the bathroom were really tiny and can suit 2 small children but not for a couple with 3 suitcases. After I told Tom about it he offered me to upgrade to a larger room for additional payment. The new room was biger and more satisfactory from the size point of view. The beds in both rooms are very soft and were a little sqeeky. We also heard other residents walking in the house which disturbed us a little. The house surrondings and public areas are beautiful. Lots of books and down stair, videos to view. There is a lovely view and garden. Tea and coffee are available in the dining area Breakfast was sufficient and Tom provided us with a vegeterian dish. Good coffee.

We had a great weekend at the Timberholm! Tom and Susan make sure all guest needs/requests are met, and the breakfast is delicious. I cannot say enough good things about our stay at the Timberholm--highly recommend!

Very cozy and comfortable. Room was upgraded upon arrival. Great communication prior to our arrival. Breakfast was outstanding.

I'm actually torn about writing a review. While my boyfriend and I had a fantastic visit, I don't necessarily want to tell the whole world and spoil this wonderful, secret find! The inn is cozy, charming and warm, the innkeepers are wonderful hosts, and breakfast could not have been more satisfying and delicious. We stayed in a compact room since we were only in Stowe for one night. As their room description discloses, it was a tiny space- but it was perfect for our short stay. If we were staying longer (which we will in the future) we would recommend getting a larger room.

The great backyard views of the woods are only matched by the homey feeling in the living room. I thoroughly enjoyed it in the summer, and I plan to come back in the winter! Breakfast was great in the company of Sophie (the canine innkeeper).

My sons and a friend and I just spent 2 wonderful nights at Timberholm, which my parents designed and built in 1949. We left in July of 1954. Tom and Susan made the entire experience, from online room choices and confirmation, so easy! How they arranged for such beautiful weather is a mystery but it was so gorgeous that they must have! I can't say enough about the fantastic rooms, beds, views and, of course, truly fabulous breakfasts. It is my pleasure to highly recommend Timberholm for a true Stowe, Vermont, vacation experience.

I spent one night with two kids. Tom was just great, as well as the rooms, the garden and the breakfast. I highly recommend Timberhom, you will thank me later....

We had the privilege of staying at The Timberholm Inn for a one night getaway this past week. What a lovely place! The property and indoor space is delightful. The great room is cozy and comfortable and Tom and Susan are incredible hosts. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and quiet, and the inn itself is just off the beaten path so there is no street noise or issues with traffic. The breakfast was utterly outstanding! We will be back and for a longer stay next time.

Wonderful location for this mountain hideaway! Glorious views and peaceful setting. Fabulous breakfast and lounge area with huge picture windows. Helpful and generous host Tom who cooks delicious breakfasts with hot dishes, home made muffins etc. Our suite (2) was spacious and very comfortable - many thanks for the surprise upgrade Tom! Great info given about local attractions and restaurants and we enjoyed a couple of games of shuffle-board in the downstairs den. This had free water in the fridge + snacks and soda for sale. One of our favourite stop-overs on our 3 week New England tour.

We traveled to Stowe for a wedding; so looked for a B&B for a couple of nights. The Timberholm Inn was an excellent place to stay: Great innkeeper, good room, wonderful breakfasts. The view from the deck is what's on their website -- valley with mountains across the way. And Tom even figured out a plug-in for my car!

WASHINGTON – As fears grow over the simmering Senkakus dispute, scholars from China and Japan are hoping to lower the temperature with expansive talks in Washington to search for common ground.
Two U.S.-based scholars, one Japanese and the other Chinese, brought together experts — four from China, three from Japan — on Sunday to sound out views on the Japan-held Senkaku Islands, claimed as Diaoyu by Beijing.
The academics acknowledged that Tokyo and Beijing have major differences over the East China Sea islet cluster but they saw one fundamental point in common: neither side wanted the conflict to escalate into armed conflict.
Coconvener Zheng Wang found a "huge perception gap" between the two sides and said rising nationalism in Asia's two largest economies is making it difficult for their leaders to take any action that could be seen as weak.
"Each side sees themselves as the victim and the other as the aggressor — 'they take aggressive behavior to change the status quo, and we are peace loving (people),' " said Wang, a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
China and Japan both claim the potentially energy-rich islets, with each side offering historical arguments. Washington takes no ultimate position but considers Tokyo to hold effective control.
Tensions have soared between U.S.-allied Japan and a rising China ever since Tokyo effectively nationalized the entire Senkakus chain in September, with anti-Japanese protesters holding rare street demonstrations.
The Washington talks did not involve government envoys but several participants made suggestions in a personal capacity.
Tatsushi Arai, a conflict resolution expert at George Mason University who convened the session with Wang, said his proposal amounted to "agree to disagree, through peaceful means."
Arai laid out three options, including Japan affirming its sovereignty but acknowledging China's position. Tokyo insists the islets are not disputed territory. Conversely, Beijing could stand by its claims but acknowledge Tokyo's position, or the two sides could both acknowledge differences. The two countries could afterward work on a code of conduct for the surrounding waters.
With any of these options, "the Japanese side doesn't have to compromise on the territorial claim and the Chinese side does not have to; however, they agree to disagree," Arai said.
Nabuo Fukuda, an Asahi Shimbun journalist and senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson center, said the two nations could come together to begin new test-drilling for oil in the area of the islands. If the two sides discover oil, they could discuss joint exploitation, he said.
"If oil is not found, maybe this issue won't disappear but the experience of working together and routinely will be helpful for future situations," Fukuda said.
Robert Hathaway, director of the Woodrow Wilson center's Asia program, said the territorial row remains complex but that all of the scholars agreed it would be "heightened folly" to let the situation spin out of control.

Mort Zuckerman Staying Put As Boston Properties CEO
Mort Zuckerman says he's staying put as chief executive of Boston Properties, one of the nation's largest commercial landlords.
When Zuckman isn't closing multi-million acquisitions for trophy office buildings, he publishes the New York Daily News tabloid, is editor-in-chief of the U.S. News & World Report and serves as the occasional political pundit.
Could the real-estate and media mogul be stretching himself too thin? That's what Green Street Advisors Analyst Michael Knott might have been thinking when he asked Zuckerman on a quarterly results conference call Wednesday how long he was interested in continuing his role as CEO given the demands of his other gigs.
"This is still my prime interest and…occupation. The fact that I do other things…enhances, if I may say, so the opportunities and the role I have at Boston Properties," responded Zuckerman, who is also the company's chairman.
Boston Properties "has the first priority" and "sets the agenda for whatever else I may do," he added.

Stroll and sail among Turkey's historical sites and natural splendor
Alone and tremendous," Sacherville Sitwell called Istanbul, "No water city can compare… it must be the most wonderful site for a great capital there has ever been." No excursion to Turkey would be complete without an insightful look at its most important and spellbinding city, once called Constantinople. Add to that some glorious days on the Aegean, rambles among archaeological sites, and a superb guide, and you've got this expertly crafted, completely customizable touring and sailing adventure.
In Istanbul, you'll boat on the Bosphorus, seeing intimately why travelers have been so enchanted with the city's position on the water. You'll dally in mosques, visit the Aya Sofya (one of humanity's architectural triumphs), and comb the area's bazaars for treasures, from rugs to evil-eye talismans. After flying south, you'll get to know the lovely hill town of Șirince and the evocative ruins of Ephesus—probably the Mediterranean's most beautifully preserved classic city. You then board your supremely comfortable gulet in Bodrum and commence a five-day Aegean cruise. You'll stop to snorkel, wander seaside forests and towns, explore the archaeological site of Kaunos, meet local chefs and families, and dine under piercingly bright stars at the end of each day.

Tell others about this book
"'I absolutely love the book... an effortless read, which is a massive achievement given the magnitude of the issues Richard is tackling. Loads of stand out points... 'Paedophobic' - don't even know if there is such a word, but I love it. The average school day from the perspective of an 8-year-old is sublime. The Grange stuff would be gripping enough if he were writing it from a theoretical 'this is a model that might work' perspective, so to have actually achieved it makes it spine-tingling.' Andy Cope, award-winning author and founder of The Art of Being Brilliant" – Andy Cope,
"'In the internationally recognised Grange Primary school, high standards and an inspiring and magical learning experience are not mutually exclusive...Richard explains the pedagogy and culture at the root of this successful approach and the vision we need for teachers and heads everywhere.' Dr Des Hewitt, Assistant Head of Teacher Education (Primary Education) and Acting B.Ed Programme Leader, University of Derby, UK " – Dr Des Hewitt,
"'The great thing is that Richard doesn't simply talk about his theories, he has actually made them work in a real school...He has put into words what I have always instinctively believed about education and it's time that people began to not only sit up and listen, but do something about it.' Rachel Wilkes, Assistant Head, Mickleover Primary School, UK" – Rachel Wilkes,
"'Richard Gerver throws down a gauntlet to all those involved in the education of young people...this is not a book just about theory. Richard has walked the talk. He tells us the story of how, together with students, staff, parents and the local community, Grange Primary School climbed out of the depths of failure to being described as outstanding by Ofsted. And how did they do it? They did it by espousing the principles outlined in the book. By a faith in the development of a curriculum with creativity at its centre, and a passion for a process that had living, learning and laughing at its core.' Sir John Jones, international speaker, author and Associate Director of ALITE Ltd, UK" –
"Infectiously optimistic, this book will be heartening for those who believe schools must evolve, and will raise uncomfortable questions for those who want to turn back the clock on primary curriculum. It may be accessible, and it may take inspiration from Disney, but Mickey Mouse this ain't" – TES,
" 'We must prepare our children for the challenges of tomorrow, writes Gerver, where adaptability, and emotional, social and intellectual awareness, are vital. If you want to understand that future, read this book, and join the revolution, now.' Sublime, July 2010" –
"'This is an inspiring book in its ability to challenge the conventional wisdom about what education is for. It reminds us that children need to be at the heart of any successful system of education and that it is possible to swim against the tide and create a community of successful teachers and learners despite the pressures to give in to the data machine model of schooling.'Celia Dignan, former London primary school teacher and Editor of Education Review" – Celia Dignan,

A state Supreme Court judge heard arguments today in a lawsuit by environmental groups seeking to fix New York State's troubled Brownfield Cleanup Program.
The groups, represented by the public interest law firm Earthjustice, are challenging the program's weak cleanup standards, issued in the final days of the Pataki administration.
"Before we give out tax credits and liability exemptions to developers, before we allow homes and daycare centers and nursing homes to be built on these sites, we must make sure they are cleaned up to a level that protects human health," said Earthjustice attorney Keri Powell. "That's what we're asking for in this lawsuit."
Earthjustice is representing Sierra Club, New York Public Interest Research Group, Environmental Advocates of New York and Citizens' Environmental Coalition in the case.
Once hailed as landmark environmental legislation, the Brownfield Cleanup Program was intended to encourage the cleanup and redevelopment of the thousands of boarded-up gas stations, decaying factories and other abandoned sites across the state. But the DEC ignored the directive of the State Legislature and issued watered-down site cleanup standards that fail to protect public health and the environment.
"Under Governor Pataki's administration, New York established unsafe, second-rate soil cleanup standards that are not protective of children and drinking water," said Anne Rabe, board member of Citizens' Environmental Coalition. "Surprisingly, Governor Spitzer and the Departments of Environmental Conservation and Health have refused to address this outstanding flaw in the brownfield program. It is time for the state to fix this problem and stop subsidizing dirty cleanups."
Among other controversial changes, the DEC adopted weaker cleanup standards for properties in polluted neighborhoods, saying that sites only had to meet "background" levels of pollution. Under this regulation, such sites would be left only as clean as the surrounding area instead of being held to stricter standards designed to protect human health.
In response to the lawsuit, the Spitzer administration conceded in November that the program's use of polluted "background" levels to limit site cleanups is illegal. But other serious flaws remain:
In the 2003 law, the State Legislature required that sites be cleaned to a level that protects indoor air, surface water, and fish and other aquatic resources. The DEC refused to follow this mandate.
"All we are asking is that New York State's brownfields regulations be protective of public health and the environment, and reflect what the law requires," said Tim Sweeney, Regulatory Watch Program Director, Environmental Advocates of New York. "The Department of Environmental Conservation has forced us to take them to court over concerns that are entirely reasonable and legitimate."
State lawmakers also asked the DEC to study the results of past cleanups to determine whether tougher cleanup standards could be achieved, especially for contaminants where there is insufficient data on health risk. Again, the DEC refused.
"These standards are outdated and don't reflect current research," said Joseph A. Gardella Jr., Toxics Chair of the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter's Conservation Committee and professor of Chemistry at SUNY Buffalo. "It's time to demand that the latest and best science and engineering be implemented to protect public health."
Finally, the DEC arbitrarily excluded all properties polluted by an off-site source. This exclusion could leave countless sites ineligible, many of them in low-income communities with a legacy of toxic contamination where pollution can be coming from several sources.
"The brownfield cleanup issue is the first real test of the Spitzer Administration's commitment to protecting public health, and so far, we've been disappointed in their response," said Laura Haight, senior environmental associate with the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG). "Governor Spitzer and Commissioner Grannis should be fixing these regulations, not defending them."

Intel, MS, Nortel, HP to unify Net technologies
Alliance to be announced next week
Intel, Microsoft, Nortel and Hewlett-Packard are set to embark on a major networking technology alliance, due to be officially announced early next week. The alliance will create a joint development effort centred on unifying the companies' chip, browser, networking and PC technologies, according to a report in the US edition of PC Week. The goal is to allow the Internet to handle high-bandwidth applications, delivered by servers to client PCs. So, Intel and Nortel will modify the latter's 1Mbps DSL modem technology to work more closely with the former's Pentium III processor, paving the way for it to be built into PC hardware. Interestingly, when Intel previewed the PIII back in February, officials said DSL would be essential for delivering via the Net the kind of 3D graphics, and streamed audio and video that the chip was designed to accelerate. That sounds suspiciously like an admission that without DSL, your PIII isn't going dramatically improve your Web experience, which is what the Great Satan's PIII advertising is currently claiming. HP will be contributing application server technology to the alliance, claimed the report. Microsoft will be support Nortel's intelligent networking protocols in both Windows and Internet Explorer to improve the OS' remote networking functionality. ® See also 3Com, MS form home networking product alliance

Trading names and corporation/company formation policy
Intent and objectives
This policy outlines the University's requirements for registration of trading names and membership of corporations, partnerships and joint ventures.
To outline:
- when a Business Name, Trademark or otherwise may be registered or used;
- the conditions under which the University may enter into certain commercial relationships
It applies where it is proposed that the University or any of its controlled entities:
- form or become a member of a corporation (including a company) or an unincorporated partnership or joint venture;
- register a Business Name; or
- register a Trade Mark
Policy provisions
The University conducts business under two names:
- "Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology" the name given to the University under its establishing legislation. This is the name which should be used in contractual and other formal documentation involving the University.
- "RMIT University" the registered Business Name of the University. This name is also registered as a Trade Mark which incorporates the University's distinctive pixel.
As the University conducts its business under the above names, it should not ordinarily be necessary for any other trading name (whether a Business Name, Trade Mark or otherwise) to be registered or used for the conduct of University business. The conduct of business by the University through a trading name (whether a Business Name, Trade Mark or otherwise) does not create a legal entity separate from the University itself.
The University may seek to become a shareholder or member of a corporation (including a company) or to become party to an unincorporated joint venture or partnership for the purposes of a business or venture conducted in conjunction with other persons. In such circumstances:
- where the University becomes a member or shareholder of a corporation (such as an incorporated Co-operative Research Centre), that corporation operates as a distinct legal entity separate from the University, and conducts business in its own right.
- where the University enters into an unincorporated joint venture or partnership, the venture is not a separate legal entity
The University may sometimes incorporate a wholly owned subsidiary company for the purpose of particular aspects of the University's business, (eg; RMIT Training Pty Ltd) although the circumstances in which it is desirable to do so are limited. University subsidiary companies are separate legal entities and conduct business in their own right.
The fact that a School, Centre, Institute or other group within the University may be known by a particular name does not create a legal entity separate from the University, and nor does it create any requirement to register that name (whether as a Business Name, Trade Mark or otherwise). The business conducted within the relevant School, Centre, Institute or other group is conducted by the University under the registered names of the University.
Business name
The registration of a Business Name for the purposes of University business is neither necessary nor desirable. If a Business Name is required, it must be authorised in accordance with the Trading Names and Corporation/Company Procedure.
The registration of a Business Name does not of itself afford any intellectual property protection or create other proprietary rights in respect of the name.
Trade names and marks
As the services provided by the University in its business operations are provided under the University's own trading names (including its Trade Mark), it is not necessary for another Trade Mark to be registered in order to identify or distinguish the particular service provided.
In situations where a discrete product is developed by the University which may have commercial value (eg; computer software or other intellectual property), there may be commercial advantage in identifying that product with a distinctive name or logo and registering the name or logo as a Trade Mark. (The effect of such registration is that no other person would be able to use a similar Trade Mark in respect of similar products which they might produce.) If a Trade Mark is required, it must be authorised in accordance with the Trading Names and Corporation/Company Procedure.
Membership in corporations and joint ventures
The University may in certain situations seek to be come a shareholder or member of a corporation (including a company) or to become party to an unincorporated joint venture or partnership conducted in conjunction with other persons (eg; an incorporated Co-Operative Research Centre)
Membership/shareholding in a corporation (whether a wholly-owned subsidiary or otherwise) or entry into a joint venture must be in accordance with the requirements of the Commercial Activity Guidelines applicable to RMIT[Next: Supporting documents and information]

Sometimes doing the job is the easy part. Those of us who often work on assignment or contract know that for a select few engagements, it's actually getting paid by your employer that's the most difficult part of the equation.
For anyone who faces the prospect of a deadbeat account or payee, these tips should help refill your coffers with a minimum of pain.
1) Understand the risks from the start – Before you accept an engagement, weigh how difficult you think it will be to get paid, or if there's a risk that your employer won't pay you at all. This can set your expectations for the post-assignment "getting your money" dance, and, more importantly, help you set an appropriate rate for the work. The bigger the risk, the more you should charge.
2) Set the terms from the beginning – Will you be paid when you complete the work? Or 90 days later? Payment terms should be set out in writing and you should ask your contact what's realistic about getting a check. Many payment terms are never really honored.
3) Invoice as soon as possible – Many accounts payable departments pay invoices in the order received, no matter what the terms of your arrangement are. Can you submit an invoice at the same time as the work is completed? Can you invoice in advance? Depending on your relationship with the contact and the company, you may be able to trim weeks off your turnaround by simply sending in your bill early. Try using an invoice generator to make the invoicing process even faster.
4) Check-in regularly – Whenever you create a new invoice, make it a habit to check on old invoices too. Is something lingering in your "to be paid" file that shouldn't be there? Eighty percent of the time, in my experience, this is due to an invoice being lost or not being routed to the right department. Check in with your contact or the A/P department and ask (nicely) if your invoice was received and when you can expect a check. If they ask you to resend it, do so immediately. Checking up on invoices on a schedule of twice a month is a good policy.
5) Escalate your concerns – Chances are the person who contracted with you is actually powerless to get a check cut. His boss may not be. If you feel like you're getting the runaround, make the jump from your contact to his supervisor. The more senior the manager is, the more likely he will be to not want to waste his time hearing from contractors who haven't been paid. A well-timed call to the president of the company can often get results in just a couple of days.
6) Withhold work until the money comes – This likely needs to be part of your contract, but if you feel like there's a strong risk that you won't get your money, simply make your deal that you don't send the finished product until you get paid for it. There are many variations on this arrangement: A quarter of the payment up front before you start work, a quarter at a certain milestone, and half on completion, for example. Also, another good trick is to simply not accept more work until you're paid in full for the last job.
7) Threaten small claims court if you must – Eventually, things can get really bad and you have to bring out the heavy guns. In California, you can now collect up to $7,500 in a single small claims court case, but be warned: This path will be time-consuming, and there's no guarantee you'll even receive your payment in the end. Still, filing a small legal claim is not difficult, is inexpensive if you do it yourself, and the very fact that you filed the claim – or simply threaten to – can often bring results. Don't expect to get much more work from the account, though.
8) Call a debt collector – This should be your method of absolute last resort. Debt collectors are expensive (expect to fork over 50% of any money recovered) and rarely get results. Typically all they will do is make a few calls to the other party and put a black mark on their credit report, with the promise of removing it if the bill is paid. A collector could get you paid in the end, but it probably won't. What it will do, needless to say, is utterly ruin your relationship with that party, so only resort to a debt collection service if you've exhausted every other avenue.
Have you had trouble with an account paying up? What did you finally do to get paid?

After the first three days of ice application, start applying heat and ice alternately on the injured knee. Use an ice pack or ice water bath for 10 minutes; then use hot water immersion, a moist hot towel, or a heating pad for 10 minutes; and then use the ice again for 10 minutes. Do this two to three times per day.
The following exercises will help stretch and strengthen your knee to help return it to normal function and avoid further injury. You can begin the exercises as soon as you are able to bear weight on the injured knee.
1. Sit in a chair or on the edge of a table.
- Put your hand on your thigh immediately above your knee joint to feel the quadriceps muscle.
- Tighten the quadriceps muscle. Hold for eight seconds and then relax. Repeat three times.
- Do this isometric exercise once every one to two hours.
2. Stand on the floor and hold on to the back of a chair for support.
- Bend your knee back and grasp your ankle with your hand.
- Gently extend your hip until you feel a stretch in the quadriceps muscle.
- Hold for 10 seconds. Relax. Repeat 10 times.

"of or pertaining to the planet Earth," 1881, in science fiction writing, from Latin terra (see terrain). Also used as a noun meaning "inhabitant of the Earth" (1953). An earlier form, terrene was used in Middle English in sense of "belonging to this world, earthly, secular, temporal" (c.1300), later, "of the Earth as a planet" (1630s).
When the terran did not reach for it, the officer held out a clawed hand to receive it.
This ship and the box are the only terran objects on this planet.
At last the remains of the battered terran fleet turned and limped toward Armundefeated.
Calaxian calm-crystals did what no refinement of terran therapeutics had been able to manage.
The terran was jerked from his feet, and flung to one side with the force of the beast's reaction.
A nuisance on Balera, which is the equivalent of a terran swamp.
There had to be some way a terran could move effectively against a beetle-head.
If the Ardans could stop them, no terran need ever know anything about them.
When the terran flyer came into sight, Raf left the party and hurried toward it.
The Idealists were of an anthropomorphic race, dark-skinned like the terran Indian.

An autopsy of SeaWorld Orlando whale trainer Dawn Brancheau shows she likely died of drowning and multiple traumatic injuries, the Associated Press reports.
SeaWorld, meanwhile, writes in its blog today that Orlando trainers will continue to "interact" with Tilikum, the whale that killed Brancheau yesterday.
"We have every intention of continuing to interact with this animal, though the procedures for working with him will change," SeaWorld says. "We are still reviewing this incident and will evaluate the situation and make a decision accordingly."
The blog did not specify how the procedures for working with Tilikum will change.

After New Line's live-action 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' movie grossed more than $200 million worldwide, the heroes in a half-shell were guaranteed a sequel. That came just a year later in 1991 in the form of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.' This turtle-powered action movie didn't fare as well at the box office, but was nonetheless beloved by kids that couldn't get enough of these pizza-loving crime fighters.
Summer is supposed to be a carefree time of sun and fun. But thanks to the insanely high pollen and all kinds of nature wackiness, we've been brought to our knees by out-of-control allergies.
Everybody's always picking on Michael Bay. You know, because of 'Transformers, 'Transformers 2' and pretty much every other film he's directed. But give the guy a chance, maybe get to know him a little bit and then go watch 'Pain and Gain' not with the burning humiliation that this is a movie from the 'Armageddon' guy, but that you're watching a film made by the man who directed your favorite milk commercial. Yes, that milk commercial. Here are 10 things you didn't know about Michael Bay.
With season three of 'Game of Thrones' currently underway, we're once again entranced by Tyrion, Daenerys, Cersei and all the rest. A huge aspect of the hit HBO show's appeal is its excellent cast. The 'Game of Thrones' cast so fully disappear into their characters, it's easy to forget they are a vast group of actors from different backgrounds and disciplines, Let's take a look at a few things you might not have known about the brilliant actors who bring the citizens of Westeros to life.
First 'Game of Thrones,' and now 'Mad Men' is back on the air. Looks like the TV season is back in full swing, and just in time to keep us from enjoying the beautiful weather.
If Hollywood teaches us anything, it's that nothing is sacred. No matter how distinctive or beloved a movie might be, it could well be subject to a remake. Just this year we'll be seeing reboots of 'Evil Dead,' 'Carrie' and 'Old Boy.' And in the works are revamps of 'RoboCop,' 'The Naked Gun' and 'Escape From New York.'
One part comedy show, one part game show, 'Whose Line Is It Anyway' brought the whimsy and energy of improvisational comedy clubs into homes across America. Sure, the points didn't matter, and there were no actual prizes handed out. Nonetheless, it was riveting television with whip-smart comedians spinning wild narratives and creating kooky characters off the top of their heads!
Since 1981, MTV has been a taste-maker, influencing teens and tweens in the ways of music, fashion, movies and social awareness. And if you're old enough to remember when MTV actually centered its programming on showing music videos, then you're old enough to feel nostalgia over the wide array of beautiful people who served as VJs over the past thirty-some years.
The stars burn brightest during Oscar season. But for some the spotlight is short-lived, even when they win.
As children we were all terrified by Disney's villains. Their evil cackles rattled our still-developing brains, and haunted our nightmares along with their songs, which gleefully reveled in their bad intentions and malevolent plots. Yet looking back, these vicious villains are a beloved part of our childhood, from their cruelly pointed toes to their audacious hairdos.

This article mentiosn that this is planned for a fall 2007 release. It is now 2008, so has this already been released, and none of us have removed the "in development" tag and changed all mentions of it coming soon, or was the 2007 date a mistake, and it's meant for 2008, or has it possibly been cancled, and the category just didn't change from "In Development" to "Unfinished Merchandise"? --Minor muppetz 04:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- The article states what the company stated. It's definitely not unfinished, but it also isn't out yet. There's some general confusion, which isn't helped by the fact that NECA already released one figure, and the existence of the Talking Jareth Action Figure. Online retailer Entertainment Earth lists it as "estimated to arrive February 2008," with the usual "subject to change" caveat, and right now, there's an e-bay auction for the item, listing it as a "presell.". Anyway, I changed the text to past tense and emphasized that the 2007 date was just announced, not when it come out. From the looks of things, the item *should* be in general release in the next few weeks or so. So basically, a wait and see approach is needed. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 05:21, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- Just a status update, Entertainment Earth and other online retailers still list this as coming, but have changed the date to June 2008. That's not encouraging but not proof that it's been shelved either. Copies are still selling on e-bay, but as "pre-sells" with a note that they are not responsible for manufacturer's delays. I'll keep an eye on this, but since (unlike some projects) we do have actual photo evidence and so on (plus, the 2008 Comic-Con is coming up, which is often a place NECA and the like choose to unveil updates or final information), it's worthwhile to keep it "in development" for awhile longer. Edit: NECA now has a section on their website for set (though I'm having trouble loading it myself), which does include a June date, so it looks like a series of not uncommon shipping delays or they're saving it to launch just before Comic-Con (which is in July). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 22:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
