" Brand: Playskool / Age: 18 months "
Scarlet will be 18 months at the end of November and she certainly takes after Mr Kimbles. She just has so much energy and watching her makes me tired. From the moment she wakes up in the morning until the moment she goes to bed she is running around, licking the windows, jumping on the poor dog, squishing chocolate into my new curtains, rocking on the rocking horse, rolling around the floor and basically being a monkey.
A few weeks ago whilst she was playing with my friends four boys she was sat singing away whilst swinging around on the Playskool Sit N Spin that my friend said how amazed she was that she just has so much energy. As we left about an hour later after Scarlet had worn out the four boys and my friends was when we inherited the Sit N Spin.
Playskool is a well known brand of Childrens Toys that even I remember when I was young, as soon as my mum saw her latest addition to her toys she commented on how we had Playskool toys when I was Scarlets age and how much of trusted brand they are.
The Sit N Spin is certainly a trusted item. The base of the toys is red whilst the tube leading to the handle is orange and the handle is purple. The top of the circular handle is green with four red lights on the top with speakers that play music. It is made out of very sturdy plastic whi has not even cracked considering the amount of use it has had in the short time we have had it.
Playskool advise this toys is for 18 months plus and as it can be a bit tricky for a child to spin on their own to start so I wouldn't suggest using it any earlier. Scarlet was 17 months when she first used it and it took her a few days to get the hang on it.
As your child sits on the circular base they use their hands to push on the handle to spin around. Scarlet was a bit unsure on what to do at first and just loved being spun around by Daddy who thought it was highly amusing to make her dizzy.
After a few days however, she had learnt to spin herself and off she went. She has now learnt to spin herself so fast that her legs don't stay on the base anymore and she ends up lying on her back on the floor laughing her head off.
As she has got more and more confident on the Sit N Spin she has now discovered to stand up on it. This is where I now have to watch her like a hawk as she likes to spin around so fast and run off to see if she can fall over. We have ended up with a few bumps and bruises from where she has run into the sofa after being far too dizzy.
But she loves the Sit N Spin so much that she even sat on it this morning to eat her toast. And still loves to be spun around by Daddy just as much as spinning herself. Even her doll Baby Annabell has her fair share of goes on it.
The Playskool item sells for £24.99 in the Argos catalogue but we had this for free of our friends but as Scarlet loves it so much I was willing to and still would be willing to pay the retail price for it.
I had seen the Simon sit and spin in the Argos catalogue for £19.59 and had wondered whether or not to purchase it or not.
I was at Tansley car boot when I found a one boxed for £3 although the box was a bit battered so I jumped at it and struggled with it back to the car as it is quite a big box to carry and push a buggy across a field.
I got it home and decided to assemble it while my son was up which can often be a mistake but as he was climbing all over the box I thought I would give it a try, I only had three pieces to assemble which was to attach the base to the steering column and wheel at the top which required 4 screws to be screwed in. As my son believes he is Bob the builder's assistant he put on his bob the builder hat and had to be given an additional screwdriver to help. There is possibly more assembly involved in a new one as the base does have more screws in the bottom.
The items is made if what appears to be sturdy plastic. The base is green and has two spots stating sit here suggesting that it is for two people but there is only room for one. It has a button on the base which is easy to press for a child and it activates the song or game without turning the wheel. The Orange steering wheel has a smiley happy face and is attached to the blue steering column. Under the base is a switch that has three positions music, game and off. The music switch is activated when the wheel spins round and plays various tunes which are quite funky and not childish or repetitively annoying. On the other hand the game position is actually a Simon says game which like the game of Simon says will give out instructions, for example Simon says spin or spin the other way. It gives praise for following the instructions and says but knows when it is wrong as well saying uh-oh. It also explains if you do something without Simon saying so why you have lost.
It states on the packaging that it is designed for 18months plus.
My experience
My son was very excited at assembling the toy and then the chance to play on it on was very exciting. He does have experience of a sit in spinning toy at the fun club he goes to so I did think he would be able to spin it himself but he seemed a little lost. He loved it but he did find it difficult to hold on and sit in the right position and then spin himself. When he first had it he was constantly wanting to sit on it and pointing to the floor to get me to sit on the floor and spin it round.
It took him about 3 days to learn how to spin around independently but still likes to be spun round.
The music mode has quite bearable music but the game mode has quite annoying background music which reminds me of fairground music. My son is able to operate the switch at the base which can be useful until I turn it off for a little peace and he turns it back on again. He likes the music setting and will often sit pressing the button on the base to activate a new tune.
The Simon says is too old for my 2 year old as he doesn't yet understand it but I don't find that part off putting as he is learning to much language and I can demonstrate when it say's go faster that this is what faster is.
I do like the fact it is so low to the ground so if he falls off then he doesn't have far to fall.
I have found it is quite heavy on battery usage but have changed to rechargeable batteries now which is what I use for all my energy hungry toys. My son quickly loses interest in this toy without the batteries.
He does enjoy playing with this toy but rarely plays on it without asking me to spin him round. I do think that as he grows he will play with the toy more independently. Although he isn't very competent at spinning on his own it will help to increase his co ordination
I am very happy with it as a £3 toy but don't think it would be worth paying full price at his age.
I think most children like to be spun round. I would recommend this for young children but not for 18 months old as I don't think they are ready to operate or understand the game. My son is two this week and he is just about old enough for it but think in another 6 months it will be more beneficial to him.
Add a new twist to everyone's favourite spinning toy, with electronic music and Simon Says game modes!

Ryder Cup 2012 Live Stream: Watch Online Golf Coverage (Tee Off Times, Schedule, Match Ups)
The Ryder Cup 2012 commences early Friday morning with a set of four foursomes kicking off day 1 of the eagerly awaited contest. The first players will tee off at 8.20 a.m. ET and all the coverage can be watched online through live stream (details below).
Europe will be looking to defend their Ryder Cup title, but will be up against it with a hostile United States crowd expected to put extra pressure on the European players, and offer Team USA huge support at the same time.
The following are Friday morning's alternate shot match ups:
1) Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell vs. Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker: 8:20 a.m.
2) Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia vs. Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley: 8:35 a.m.
3) Lee Westwood and Francesco Molinari vs. Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson: 8:50 a.m.
4) Ian Poulter and Justin Rose vs. Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods: 9:05 a.m.
Following those match ups, the Four Ball matches are scheduled to commence at 12:05 p.m.
The United States' squad is being captained by Davis Love III, who has decided to try and finish powerfully with Woods and Stricker being the last U.S. pairing in the alternate shot match ups.
But European captain José MariaOlazábal has also chosen to do the same and will be expecting Poulter and Rose to give Woods and Stricker a tough time.
One tough decision the U.S. captain has had to make is leaving out Bubba Watson from the opening round. Watson is seen as one of the world's best but such is the strength of the United States squad this year that he has been left out of the opening exchanges.
The Ryder Cup 2012 day 1 will tee off at 8.20 a.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream by clicking here.

Senate in Bayh's genes, not his blood
In 1996, Evan Bayh seemed to be on the verge of Democratic stardom as a popular, 40-year-old Indiana governor whose gravitas and squeaky-clean good looks earned him the keynote speaking spot at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
But that Chicago speech — memorable now for just how forgettable it was — had the opposite effect of the electrifying keynote address Barack Obama delivered eight years later.
Story Continued Below
On paper, Bayh seemed like an ideal national Democratic candidate: attractive, bright and moderate enough to attract Midwestern voters, with the fundraising connections of the Eastern prep school student he was.
But Bayh's career never quite jelled, and the Chicago speech effectively rendered him an afterthought two years before his election to the Senate.
"His high-water mark was that speech, and he flopped, and that killed the buzz about him being a serious presidential contender," said Brian Vargus, a longtime Indiana University politics professor who has closely followed Bayh's career for more than two decades.
"That was it for the presidential stuff," one longtime Bayh confidant said of that moment 13-plus years ago.
Bayh's stunning decision to call it quits rather than brave a perilous reelection campaign marks not only an exit from a Senate he's never much loved but also the end of a once-promising national political career that never quite lived up to the hype.
The scion of Indiana's most famous Democratic family twice made it onto the shortlist of vice presidential contenders — first in 2004, when he was briefly considered as John Kerry's running mate, and then in 2008, when Obama gave him a longer look before tapping Joe Biden.
Now Bayh finds himself the subject of scorn from Democrats, who accuse him of abandoning his party and his colleagues at a time when they desperately need him to help save their suddenly imperiled majority in the Senate.
"He's finished," said one Democratic political consultant active in national races. "His party needed him to stay and fight, and he ran away. People won't forget."
Bayh's father, Birch, a longtime liberal senator from Indiana, was a consummate legislator who served in a different era, a time when bipartisan deal making was the rule.
Bayh the younger, who was reared in Washington and schooled at St. Albans, was always attracted to the executive branch and was elected as Indiana's secretary of state at age 30 before embarking on two highly successful terms as governor.
Former Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson, who was Bayh's chief of staff at the statehouse, said his old boss was always a governor at heart.
"So I suspected, and perhaps in his heart of hearts he suspected, that he might not find the Senate quite the same as being a governor," Peterson said. "Those frustrations have increasingly worn on him, and I think his willingness to tolerate the frustrations has decreased over time."

Scott Hairston: 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI last night; 6-for-11 with a homer, four RBI, three runs scored and two walks in past three starts against left-handed pitchers.
Luis Perdomo: Gives up homer to Carlos Delgado, the first hitter he faces in his major league debut.
3: Double plays turned by the Padres, giving them 11 in nine games
4: Runs scored by the Mets on one hit in the seventh - a bunt single
10: Consecutive balls thrown by Luke Gregerson to open the seventh
100: Career home runs by Adrian Gonzalez, 93 as a Padre
NEW YORK – Facing a power pitcher who lacked his best fastball, the Padres had a fair opportunity Wednesday night to bump their winning streak to six games.
They ended up with a 7-2 defeat, though, because former Padres pitcher Oliver Perez surprised them with inside pitches, a few liners went into Mets gloves and the Padres' bullpen and defense imploded late.
"Ollie got us out," Padres manager Bud Black said after New York evened the three-game series at Citi Field. "He was the story."
Perez, who began his career with the Padres, has a swift fastball that induced the Mets to guarantee $36 million last winter. But the speedy pitch remained in hibernation through most of spring training and in the left-hander's season debut last week, when the Reds blasted his 85 mph fastballs and piled up eight runs.
Perez had more zip Wednesday night, but the Padres hitters got good looks at fastballs that ranged from 87-91 mph. They reached him for only three hits and one run in six innings, belying their 4-0 record against lefty starters this month.
"Give him credit," said Padres leadoff man Scott Hairston, whose RBI single two outs into the fifth accounted for the only run against Perez (1-1). "His fastball inside was effective. I don't think we were expecting him to throw inside that much. He did early, and by the end, his change-up was more effective. He didn't make too many mistakes. Looking back on it, when a guy's on like that, it's tough."
Padres No. 5 hitter Chase Headley should have known it wasn't his night when he cracked two bats in batting practice, then a third ash bat in his first at-bat against Perez, though Headley said he had pounded the ball near the bat's sweet spot, away from the label.
It was a strange sight, the ground ball zooming toward Mets third baseman David Wright though Headley's lumber was sheared into two pieces.
"Weird," Headley said. "I guess the colder weather has something to do with it, but I think they're just bad bats. Not too many bats break without leaving a jagged edge, but it broke square clean through."
For good measure, Headley followed with lineouts to center field and right field. So he wasn't in a mood afterward to equate Perez with Sandy Koufax.
"He was effective," said Headley, who has moved ahead of Kevin Kouzmanoff into the No. 5 spot. "He threw strikes. He didn't walk a lot of guys, and I think we hit some balls on the button right at people."
Defeated 6-5 by the Padres in their ballpark opener Monday, the Mets took their first lead at $850 million Citi Field when Carlos Beltran singled off the second consecutive down-the-middle slider from Kevin Correia (0-1) with none out and the bases loaded in the fourth. Gary Sheffield then grounded into a double play, raising New York's lead to 2-0. Correia tossed a scoreless fifth, capping the No. 4 starter's second decent outing in two starts.
"Correia hung in there," Black said.
The Padres gave up four runs in the seventh, largely through their own mistakes. Rookie Luke Gregerson, coming off a scoreless sixth, threw 10 consecutive balls to open the inning. Edward Mujica threw a run-scoring wild pitch. A passed ball and throwing error by catcher Nick Hundley brought in two runs on the same play.
"It was a bad inning," Black said. "We've played close to 80 innings and we have just a couple of bad innings on the whole. Walks are part of it. Late in the game, we can't walk guys and have wild pitches."Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – Service has resumed at the Bay Area Rapid Transit 16th Street Mission station in San Francisco following a brief police chase of a suspected rapist, police spokesman Officer Albie Esparza said.
Trains weren't stopping at the station between 9:15 a.m. and 9:35 a.m. while San Francisco police worked to apprehend a suspect, BART spokesman Linton Johnson said.
Officers had arrived in the area on reports of a suspect who had allegedly sexually assaulted a victim. The suspect ran down a BART tunnel and service was stopped so police could continue pursuing the suspect without getting hit by trains, Esparza said.
Police were unable to find the suspect, but officers were interviewing the victim at the 16th Street Mission BART station at about 9:45 a.m., according to Esparza.

Don't Let Bankers Drive Our Business
Wescom Credit Union and PSCU have proposed a new CUSO to buy and manage credit card portfolios. It is a service credit unions are by regulation allowed to undertake. The idea is brilliant. It keeps the credit card business within the movement. Of course it meets with great consternation by the bankers. Why am I not surprised? Buying credit card portfolios has always been the bankers' right. Who would have the audacity to try to change this? Darren Williams, president/CEO of Wescom, and Dave Serlo, president/CEO of PSCU, that's who. This service is nothing new to either the credit union or PSCU. There is a huge and successful track record of both parties. It is not Sears going from socks to stocks.it is simply the unification and cooperation of credit unions to benefit credit unions by combining these loans for economies of size. Hopefully our regulators will also see the benefits and quickly approve the necessary actions needed to accomplish this. We do not need bankers' approval for this! I say carry on and keep thinking up new ways to work together! Judy McCartney CEO Orange County's Credit Union Santa Ana, Calif.

The US Senate voted to inject $US2 billion ($A2.38 billion) into a program, dubbed "Cash for Clunkers," that lets consumers trade in gas-guzzling cars and trucks for more fuel efficient vehicles.
Under pressure from President Barack Obama, senators voted 60-37 to approve the rescue, which cleared the House of Representatives last week and now heads to the White House to be signed into law.
"Now, more American consumers will have the chance to purchase newer, more fuel efficient cars and the American economy will continue to get a much-needed boost," Obama said in a statement minutes after the vote.
Calling the program a "proven success" that is helping put people back to work, the president said initial transactions were generating 50 per cent more fuel economy and 700 to 1,000 dollars in annual consumer savings due to reduced gas costs.
The plan offers owners of old cars and trucks up to $US4,500 ($A5,360) toward a new, more-efficient vehicle, in a move supporters say has pulled the US auto industry back from the edge and helped the environment.
Early trade-ins "are getting the oldest, dirtiest and most air polluting trucks and SUVs off the road for good," Obama said, adding that the scheme "benefits our recovery and our auto industry while reducing our economy's dependence on oil."
The program, also known as CARS, is modelled on similar programs in France, Germany, Italy and Spain that have had some success in sparking sales of new autos.
The auto industry, still reeling from a collapse in sales last fall which helped contribute to the bankruptcies of both General Motors and Chrysler, says it can sorely use the help.
"Consumers have already cast their vote and the CARS program is a clear winner," said GM sales vice president Mark LaNeve.
"Our customers and dealers appreciate Congress's help in keeping the program's momentum going and providing the stimulus to put more clean, fuel-efficient vehicles on the road. CARS is one program that has given consumers, the economy and a vital industry a much needed boost."
While the program boosted auto sales by as much as 200,000 vehicles in a single week, overall industry sales remain at levels not seen since the recession of the early 1980s.

Solera Holdings Inc., which provides software and services for the auto insurance claims industry, said Thursday it posted a fiscal fourth-quarter profit as revenue gains in the company's automotive recycling unit offset declines in other areas.
The company earned $11.8 million, or 17 cents per share, compared with a loss of $21.6 million, or 34 cents per share, a year ago.
Adjusted to exclude one-time items, net income was 39 cents for the quarter.
Revenue fell slightly to $144.1 million from $145.5 million in the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters predicted a profit of 38 cents per share on $138.6 million in sales. Analysts tend to exclude most one-time items from their estimates.
Revenue from automotive recycling and other customers was $20.5 million for the fourth quarter, a 34 percent increase from a year earlier.
For the full fiscal year, Solera's profit climbed to $57.8 million, or 85 cents per share, compared with $598,000, or a penny per share, in fiscal 2008.
Revenue rose to $557.7 million, from $539.9 million in the prior fiscal year.
Shares rose 59 cents, or 2.3 percent, to close Thursday at $26.69.

Victory Day is to commemorate victories in important battles or wars in the
different countries.
Two separate capitulation events took place at the time. The date is commonly
referred as the V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day) and V-J Day(Victory in Japan
It was first inaugurated in the fifteen republics of the Soviet Union, following
the signing of the surrender document late in the evening on 8 May 1945. It
happened after the original capitulation that Germany earlier agreed to the
joint Allied forces of the Western Front. The Soviet government announced the
victory early on 9 May after the signing ceremony in Berlin.
Victory Day, also known as VJ Day, marks the anniversary the Allies' victory
over Japan during World War II. It followed the dropping of the devastating
atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima on August 6 and Nagasaki on
August 9, 1945.

'Tabloid' first aid kit used on Alcock and Brown's first transatlantic non-stop flight, England, 1919
This first aid kit was used on the first non-stop transatlantic flight on 14-15 June 1919 by Sir Arthur Whitten Brown (1886-1948) and Sir John William Alcock (1892-1919). Alcock and Brown completed the treacherous crossing in 16 hours 27 minutes. The flight was a matter of national prestige. The men shared the £10,000 prize from the Daily Mail, which had been set up to encourage British aviation. The kit contained bandages, dressings, cotton wool, court plaster, and drugs for pain relief, upset stomachs and nausea, and antiseptics. It also contained carron oil made from linseed oil and lime water for burns and scalds, which were among the most likely injuries on an aircraft full of hot metal; in fact the tube is half empty.

It didn't work quite the way you suggested, but you absolutely put me on the right track. i dont do macros yet, but it wasn't so big I couldn't just go through and put a tilde there. The Find and replace on my mac wouldn't find a tab and put a paragraph or anything like that, so I went through manually. if it were a bigger file I would have figured out (or paid for) macros, but as it was up delete tab was a lot better than retyping.

My Poem List
Email Poem
Today's Poetry
The Worlds Best Apple
~~~With all the drama about the running of the Olympic torches journey to China (Protests against Chinas human rights exploitation in Tibet) It reminded me of another funny story when I was traveling through China, here is the story..~~~
It was 2002 and I found myself in China
And this story will always be a funny reminder
Within the land of the Dragon
The older brother to the Rising Sun
In a country full of bikes and more bikes
And Terracotta warriors with Terracotta spikes
Where every other shop is a hairdressers, which when late at night
The girls blew more than cut, under a red light
A land of small people busy little bees packed all tight
And the giant panda recognizes his own plight
I have painted the picture of where are story will begin
I was out one evening in the southern Chinese town of Guilin
I had been on the road for about 3 months, after starting in Prague
And making my way to Russia and St Petersburg
I had done the Siberian Express through the heart of Russia
And then went through too Mongolia
Until my Train stopped in China
The land of the straw hat that is rather triangular
I had experienced lots of funny stories and a lot had gone wrong
But I was making my way down through China to Hong Kong
Now Guilin was a small but very picturesque Chinese city
Where once again I was the only white man, so everyone looked at me
I 'd been out all day on a tour of the city, and my guide was a Chinese queer
And after a day of Chinese gay chat up lines I needed a beer
(You'll find that I can find any excuse to have a beer for any reason)
I was watching the Football in a bar, as it was the English football season
It must have been midnight when I decided to head back
But I got a little hungry and decided to get myself a snack
There are so many muddy small narrow side streets in these Chinese towns
You'll find cafes and small family run restaurants with dog whimpering sounds
I went to the this family run cafeé and ordered a pot of green tea
And some rice and beef chili
Then a stranger came and asked if he could sit with me
I nodded as it made no difference you see
He was a well-dressed Chinese Man in a shirt and tie
Imagine if you will, a Chinese man working for the FBI
He sipped on his Green Tea and then said Hello, what is your Name?"
"My name is Matthew, from London, I am on Holiday" I was used to this game
He smiled and nodded his head " Awe England, London, Good-Good Mr Matthew"
"Mr Matthew, my name is Mr Chong and I have a prepossession for you"
I looked at him and with a mouthful of beef chili said "Nah thanks I don't think so"
"I am just having something to eat then going back to my hotel, so thanks. but no"
I was used to people trying to sell me stuff, tours mainly
"Please Mr Matthew, just listen to what I have to say, let me order more green tea"
Another pot was ordered and he took from under the table his briefcase
And then opened it up and huge, huge, smile appeared on his face
And there in this briefcase, was no other than an……………………Apple!
I almost died with laughter choking on my rice,
"An Apple" I said, " very nice!"
He smiled, not understanding my sarcasm "Not just any Apple Mr Matthew!"
"This Apple will make us Millions and Millions of dollars, honestly it's true!"
"For you see Mr Matthew, This is the famous Guilin Apple, the best Apple in China!"
He then started to scribble down his telephone number
"Mr Matthew I need someone to export this Apple to England for me"
"I need a warehouse in England, I will do the exporting, I just need some money"
I thought I'd play along for a little while and so I said-
"I say! Mr Chong, this is the best apple I've ever seen. Do you have one in red?"
He shock his head "No Mr Matthew the Guilin Apple only comes in Green"
"Is it really the best apple you have ever seen?"
I nodded "Yes, I think it is an amazing apple, England will love this Apple"
He smiled and with bright white teeth he said."The Guuillinnn Apppple"
I went to pay the waitress but he waved and said, "This is on me"
"Oh Mr Matthew you have made me so, so happy"
I said, "Here's the deal I want a crate of apples here, same time, place tomorrow"
Then I got up and headed to the door "But now Mr Chong I have to go"
"But tomorrow we will put this Apple on the world market"
"This Apple will be the best Apple ever, with us behind it!"
I of course never went back, the next I got a train to Hong Kong
But I often wonder about the worlds best apple and Mr Chong?
~~~As in all cases, it is the Government not the people or the country that is to blame for society's wrongs. China was without doubt one of the most beautiful and wonderful place i have ever traveled too, the people are friendly and so incredibly wise, we can learn allot from the Chinese, do not given them the same label as we give those who govern it..~~

The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official World of Warcraft history or occurrences which are accurate for all realms. The characters and events listed are of an independent nature and applied for roleplaying, fictional, speculative, or opinions from a limited playerbase only.
Cudunn Wolfstrider is the last of the Sun Warlords. He is an amicable warrior in his thirties. He has a slender but strong build (5'8") with shoulder length thick blond hair, a grey blue left eye, a dead and milky right eye covered by an eye-patch, and a dueling scar on his right cheek. He is polite and well-spoken, and will respond with courtesy to even the rudest of people. He'll be especially interested in talking with humble academics. When he is out and about, Cudunn favors wearing his hooded wolf cloak above his Malorne helm.

There was once an order of monks devoted to the warring teachings of the Sun Lord Aman'Thul and the Moon Goddess Elune. There were known as Sun Warlords. They possessed extraordinary disciplines in animal kinship, camouflage, hunting, healing, mindblast, mindshield, mind over matter, sixth sense, tracking and weapon skills. Trained from childhood at the monastery of Aman'Thul, the Sun Warlords were Azeroth's greatest defense against Sargeras' agents.
At the monastery was a young initiate given the name Cudunn Wolfstrider. On the feast day of Eonar, when all the Sun Warlords gathered at the monastery, Cudunn was sent to cut wood from the surrounding forest as a punishment for his inattention in class. While he was gone, a sneak attack was launched from the Blasted Lands at several places across the Eastern Kingdoms. The monastery was assaulted by the minions of Sargeras and the gathered Sun Warlords were slaughtered. Rushing back from the woods, Cudunn fell on a low-lying tree branch and was knocked out. When he awoke, he found himself the only survivor. Last of the Sun Warlords, he set out for Stormwind to inform King Varian Wrynn of the loss of the order of Aman'Thul.
Cudunn fought with the armies of Stormwind and its ally, Ironforge, to repel the invasion. He pursued and captured the traitor Sulring from the Preachers of Decay who brought about the invasion. In the desert of Tanaris, Cudunn recovered the Book of the Sun, the ancient text which contained the higher lore of the Sun Warlords. With the massacre of the Aman'Thul order, and Cudunn only an initiate, these teachings were thought to be lost.
Cudunn is now on a path of understanding the teachings of Aman'Thul. But the Book of the Sun is ancient and incomplete. To perfect his understanding and train a new order of Sun Warlords, Cudunn must follow the path of Sun Eagle, the first Aman'Thul lord, and author of the Book of the Sun, who quested for the wisdom encapsulated in the Lorestones of Ysera, seven orbs scattered across Azeroth. Cudunn pursued his quest through the war-torn realms, beyond the plane of Azeroth, in the Outlands, to bring about the destruction of Sargeras' Demons. But a new threat has now arisen, the Scourge is plaguing the lands of the living. In company of the Knights Templar, and the Thousand Wardens, Grandmaster Cudunn Wolfstrider seeks to unite the people of Azeroth against the Lich King in Northrend, and the decay that lies even beneath its earth, Yogg-Saron. The Cult of the Damned and the Preachers of Decay have both been their greatest enemies.
In his journey, he has become a champion of the Earth Mother, and as such founded the Malorne Rangers.
Goals & MotivationsEdit
"For the Earth Mother!"
Cudunn is seeking ways to restore the order of Aman'Thul. In the meantime, from his excursions and journey into the wild, he has founded the order of the Malorne Rangers.
The Aman'Thul warlords cherish the notion that the many races in Azeroth are all children of the Earth Mother. In that light, Cudunn thinks that too much bloodshed has already been spilled among the races of Man, Elf, Dwarf, Draenei, Gnome, Tauren, Troll, Orc and Undead, and that constant effort must be reached to bring back peace and harmony. In view of which, Cudunn will often work as a negotiator in conflicts.
Though the entire Aman'Thul order revolves around the teachings of Aman'Thul, the Sun Warlords themselves have no real religion as such. They pay no fealty to Aman'Thul, do not pray to him, nor do they attempt to spread the word of their faith to others. To be a Sun Warlord is to accept a life of meditation, discipline and above all self-improvement, as mind and body are brought into total union. This is the very core of a Sun Warlord, and every effort made is towards this end.
- Cudunn speaks fine Common language. A few words in the Elven and the Orcish tongues.
Public KnowledgeEdit
- Cudunn is a revered hero among the Shattered Sun offensive, and the Champion of the Earth Mother.

Carroll Organization actively manages investments through Carroll sponsored investment funds, separately managed accounts, and joint venture partnerships. Our investments leverage our expertise in property management operations, which we feel gives us an advantage in understanding the risks and rewards inherent in multifamily real estate.
Carroll Organization has completed over $4.5 billion of multifamily apartment transactions and deployed over $1 billion of equity on behalf of institutional investors including: Goldman Sachs, Carlyle Group, Starwood Capital, Townsend Group, Crow Holdings, AIG, Investcorp, Bluerock, PIMCO, PCCP and W. P. Carey. We provide our investors comprehensive access to the real estate asset class and an appropriate risk adjusted return at all points in the investment risk spectrum. Our focus is on properties where we have the ability to add value through redevelopment and efficient management. Our range of investment vehicles gives investors the ability to tailor their real estate investment strategy to specific return objectives and risk tolerance levels and define their goals across many aspects in regards to current yield, capital appreciation, and leverage.
Value add investments offer a strong balance of current cash flow and future appreciation. These assets are traditionally located in recovering primary markets as well as in secondary markets. Often, property rents are below market levels and present opportunities to increase cash flow by improving the physical conditions of the assets, implementing effective leasing strategies to retenant properties and improving management. Moderate leverage (60.0% to 70.0%) can enhance yield while still allowing for healthy debt service coverage. Overall returns in the value added sector currently range from 14.0% to 18.0%.
Core plus investments typically exhibit similar characteristics of core investments in both quality physical construction and prime location, but present more opportunity to increase NOI through organic rent growth, light renovation programs and improved management. Like core investments, a large majority of the return will come in the form of current yield with a smaller percentage projected from price appreciation. Overall returns currently range between 10.0% and 14.0% and leverage levels tend to average 50.0% to 60.0%.
Core assets typically deliver a secure return, largely generated from ongoing current property cash flow. Core properties tend to be well leased, located in major markets and built in the most sought after locations in these markets. The core category offers lower overall returns which are below 8.0% in the current market environment; however, investors view these returns as more secure given strong demand for these properties and lower leverage levels traditionally used with these investments

It's safe to say I have had more than my fair share of sweets this holiday season. From hot chocolate mixes to candy cane meringues and all the pies and cookies in between, I am attempting to put my sweet tooth on the back burner for the next month or so. However, I still hope to spend the cold snowy winter months in the kitchen concocting some sort of food gift. Luckily Jane from emerald+ella is sharing a great recipe for her savory Slow Roasted Tomato Kasundi.
With just a few simple steps and lots of wonderful flavors, this spicy Indian tomato chutney is a unique hostess gift that will hold its own at your next dinner party. This is also one of those great "make now, enjoy later" gifts, so fill up a whole bunch of jars as it will stay good unopened for up to six months. Just remember to keep a few for yourself.

Angels phasing out use of 'El Hombre'
TEMPE, Ariz. — The Angels will phase out use of the phrase "El Hombre" in marketing campaigns involving superstar slugger Albert Pujols.
Angels Vice President of Communications Tim Mead said Tuesday that billboards using Pujols and "El Hombre" would remain up in parts of Southern California until early April.
But Mead said the franchise is aware of how Pujols feels about the phrase and will respect his wishes that it not be used further.
Pujols told reporters early in training camp that he was not in favor of being referred to as "El Hombre" as he felt it undermined the respect St. Louis baseball fans have for former Cardinals great Stan Musial, whose nickname was "The Man."
Pujols signed a $240 million, 10-year contract with the Angels in the offseason.

Northern Australian temperature outlook
Issued 23 October 2013
A warm season likely for northern Australia
Text details of chance of warmer maximum and minimum temperatures
- Warmer days and nights are more likely over most of northern Australia
- Climate influences include warmer than average sea surface temperatures around Australia and a neutral tropical Pacific
- Outlook accuracy for maximum and minimum temperatures over most of northern Australia is moderate
The chances of the November to January maximum temperature exceeding the long-term median maximum temperature are greater than 70% over Queensland and the Northern Territory. Odds over western Queensland increase to greater than 80%. So for every ten November to January outlooks with similar odds to these, about seven or eight of them would be expected to be warmer than average over these areas, while about two or three years would be cooler.
Minimum temperatures see a similar pattern as the maximum temperatures, for the November to January period, with greater than 70% chance of above median minimum temperatures, including a greater than 80% chance over western Queensland and parts of the Top End of the NT.
Climate influences
The tropical Pacific has remained ENSO-neutral since mid-2012. The dynamical seasonal outlook model suggests ENSO-neutral conditions will remain for the rest of 2013.
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is neutral, and is expected to remain so for the next month. Beyond that time, the effect of the IOD on Australian climate from December through to April is limited, and is therefore not an influence on the outlooks during this period.
With the main climate influences likely to remain neutral (and hence have lesser impact upon Australia) over the coming months, secondary influences, such as warmer-than-normal oceans around the continent are tending to drive the Australian climate patterns.
How accurate is the outlook?
Outlook accuracy is related to how consistently the oceans and broadscale climate affect Australian temperatures. During the November to January period, historical accuracy shows the outlook for maximum temperatures to be moderately consistent over most of northern Australia, except for the central NT and parts of central Queensland which are only very weakly consistent.
The effect on minimum temperatures during this season is moderately consistent over most of the north, excluding parts of southwest NT which are only very weakly consistent.

Sourcing Green Roof Plants for Brooklyn
If you are putting a green roof on a Brooklyn brownstone (like we just did) chances are you don't have a lot of space for soil and plants to be laying around. This means you need to get your materials the day before you plan on installing your green roof.
We recommend getting the plants from Mother Plants. They are located in Ithaca, NY.
We ordered a couple hundred plugs and a big box of clippings. They arrived a day and a half later via overnight delivery. It couldn't have been easier. They were really friendly and super knowledgeable. And the plants looked fresh and healthy.
We've got a lot of green roof installations in Brooklyn coming up and we are very happy to know we have a dependable source for healthy and affordable plants.

Land Rover Range Rover
I would guess that there will be two hurdles to cross.
The first one will be emissions compliance which should be the easist. If Land Rover/Jaguar/Ford did not design such a fantastic engine to meet the upcoming diesel emissions requirements then that is a serious misstep on their part.
The second hurdle will be production capacity. There is probably not enough production capacity to supply Europe and the rest of the world with this diesel and also supply the US.
Limiting the avaliblity of this engine to just the Range Rover first will help and then once production capacity can be exspanded some make it avaliable in the LR3/RRS and various Jaguars.
I am just dreaming of a XK8 Vanden Plas with a slightly ligher version of this engine.
Hey this is great...I like this board better than the old RR and RRS Prices Paid and Buying Experiences!!
Now to my question:
I have a 2006 RR HSE and have recently asked the dealership to configure the vehicle so that the doorlocks engage on drive-away AND single-entry access.
This is the default behavior on a Disco (we also have a 2003 Disco).
However, I cannot find anything in the manual for RR HSE that indicates that another Disco behavior is available: driver key removeal or engine-off triggers door unlock.
This is another default behavior on the Disco.
Is this something that the RR HSE can be configured to do?
Do I have to take it back to the dealership to get this configured?
I absolutely love the navigation system in my RR HSE 2006.
I have used it extensively on a recent trip up to North Carolina and it is really informative: gives great information on where places to eat are and gas stations. It even steers you back to course when you get off of its recommended route (did this accidentially, but then did it again on purpose just to tax it).
Also, you can tell it to make a route based upon major roads or back ways or avoid toll roads...quite nice.
As far as interiors go, I too loved the Ivory interior, but opted for the upgraded interior in Gray with Jet piping because when I look at a two year old Ivory interior I was shock at how dirty and easily dirtied they become.
Because I opted for the Gray, I also got the Black Exterior and the Light Cherry wood grain...the combination is quite attractive...though, I do still think the Ivory is more classier looking...just my 0.02USD worth.
The radio presents me with just a bit of annoyance.
I have it set to show the Data associated with a given station (if they send the Data stream - RDS I think it is called).
When I am listening to a station that receives RDS the information is displayed...great no problem.
But when I change to another station, the RDS data that was displayed for the previous station remains displayed in the indentification for the previous station.
That is it over writes the station's call letters or frequency that I put in for it.
So it makes it difficult to recognize that station again (except by its location on the screen).
It anyone else has noticed this and/or figured out how to make the station call letters or name return when you leave that station please let me know.
Yes I know I can turn off RDS...but, I like to know the names of the songs that are played.
Nope cannot do that. You are seeing left over BMW influence in the Range Rovers locking design. The doors will remained lock untill you hit the master unlock switch to open them or pull on the door handle twice to open the door.
My 2004 MINI Cooper S was the same way.
The LR3 and Range Rover Sport do the remove key from ignition equals auto unlock of all doors.
Thanks, for the info...I will miss that one...I thought it was really a nice thing to have.
Oh, well.
Do you have information on the Radio?
I have the Ivory with Cherry, and after 1 year it still looks great.
A few simple rules:
1. Never use body lotion or moisturizer on your hands and forearms before driving... makes a shiny mess of the both the steering wheel and leather armrests... leather always looks good matt!
2. Do not slide in and out of the seat: "lift" your body using your legs, and reach across and support yourself on the center armrest. This is also a good leg work-out tip!
Seats look lousy when they are shiny from sliding in and out!
3. Keep some leather wipes handy, but make sure that you wipe with a dry cloth afterwards to insure that they don't become shiny.
pfolk Posts: 70Thought the emissions issues were simplified when US went to low sulfur diesel this year. DaimlerChrysler and others were holding back their European spec diesels from North American markets due to our dirtier fuel. Is there another hurdle (aside from CARB)?
( I copied this from my original post over at land rovers only)
Hi all,
Bought a new 2006 HSE RR in April and I am really happy with it ; but, one thing I have begun to notice is that when accelerating from stand-still, if you accelerate slowly and not rev beyond 2000 - 2500 rpms, there is a sorta rev up, then drop back, rev up, then drop back thing going on...reminds me of when my Jeep got a bit of water in the fuel lines.
It is not a smooth acceleration as with my 2003 Disco 2.
I know the D2 has the BMW engine and the RR has a jag engine, but could there be something wrong with the engine management software on the RR?
I was wondering if anyone else has knowledge of or experienced this.
Is the cycle more like a "jump" or "jolt" to the driveline or is it smoother?
Some 2006 RR's have experienced a severe "jolt" when it changes gears, which is fixed by replacing a control valve body in the gearbox.
BTW.. your Disco has the old OHV Rover V8.... the BMW unit was in the 2003/4/5 Range Rover only
BTW.. your Disco has the old OHV Rover V8.... the BMW unit was in the 2003/4/5 Range Rover only
Hmmm...well, that seems to be a very strong and smoothe engine. I did not know it was old Rover V8. Thanks for that one.
On the acceleration, it is not "jumpy" or "jolty" it is just very noticable in the sound.
On another board someone said that it could be the gears changing. Not sure.
It is almost like the engine is not getting enough gas.
When I accelerate with determination, it does not seem so noticeable.
Only when accelerating and trying not to tax the engine by keeping it between 2000 and 2500 rpm.
That old rover pushrod motor is actually even much older then most people know. It was originaly designed by Oldsmobile back in the 1950s and was called the fireball V8.
Rover bought the tooling rights when they designed the original Range Rover back in the 60s. They needed a light weight powerful all aluminium V8 and the Oldsmobile design fit the bill.
phillman98 Posts: 3Hello fellow RR owners.
I'm new to this forum. Thinking of buying a 2001 or 2002 Range Rover HSE. What should I look out for (most have 40k-100k miles)
Is 2002 a good year?
Hi I just bought an '04 and I REALLY LOVE IT...after driving it for 3 days I noticed that when the speed got to around 50mph or above there would be this extra noise coming from the engine but different from the engine noise itself...almost like a humming/vibrating sound. Wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem? Thinking it might be just wind noise coming thru the front grill and side vents because I notice it more on really windy days. My family and friends think its a really nice vehicle but really loud..is this how all range rovers are?
Hmhh what kind of tires do you have on it. If you have the original Goodyears you probably have severly cupped tires. Best to go with the micheliens that they put on new Range Rovers now.
Could also be the front seal on the windshield there was a TSB there about air over the windshield causing a vibration of the seal.
yes my range rover still has the goodyears on it..this is going to sound stupid but what does "severly cupped tires" mean?
I have a service appointment coming up so will have them take a stab at what may be causing the loud engine noise.
tidester Posts: 10,059"Cupping" refers to wear on the tires that looks like dips or cups in the tread. It can be caused by tires out of balance or suspension problems.
tidester, host
Something about the goodyear tires just makes them cup on range rovers all the time. Never any problems with the Synchronies from Michelen.
outrigger Posts: 40It's easy to feel if your tires are cupped. Just run your finger along the outside set of tread blocks one way, say counterclockwise, then run your finger back along those same tread blocks in the other direction. If the tire is cupped, you'll feel the raised edges on the tread blocks when you run your finger in one of those directions.
Can any dealers put the post prices and options on the 2007 Range Rover?
Prices and ordering ususally commence in July.
I know people will find this hard to belive but we do not have pricing yet.
We ordered our first set of 2007 MY vehicles last month but we don't know how much we spent.
Land Rover will not give us pricing for a couple of months from what I have heard.
My guess is that with all the added features a Supercharged Range Rover with all of the goods is going to be very close to 100,000 dollars.
There will be no base Range Rovers for the first few months as there have been supplier problems with the dash for non-luxury model Range Rovers and supplier problems with the 19 inch tires as well.
All Range Rovers for the first couple of months of production will be Luxury/Oxford Range Rovers with 20 inch wheels.
My guess is that they will be between $87,000 and $88,000.
Do you know, from the 2007 specs, if the current (2006) luxury/supercharged front seats are held over - aside from the addition of cooling?
I am referring to the two-part adjustable seat back.
I believe this was a good carry over from original BMW specs, and I love it.
But, I am thinking that what is now being sold as "improvements" by Ford, is really just "code" for switching over to Fords corporate bits and pieces, i.e. switches etc.
The current 2006 RR switches are still BMW slick, compared to the Ford sourced switches on the LR3/RR Sport.
The two part adjustment of rear seat back has been discontinued and I will miss it.
The side airbag has been moved from the door to the seat and I guess it is mounted right where the hinge on the old seat was.
RE the switch gear neither for or BMW makes switch gear like that for any of their vehicles. They are sourced from one of the half a dozen parts suppliers in the world.
I figured that the seat adjustment might go, and I do believe that Ford is dressing up these progessive model changes designed to simply lower costs as "improvements" and in fact while there are some improvements, many of the items that made the RR special are being whittled away.
I noticed that from 2004-2006, the leather covering on the roof grab handles was deleted on luxury models. Now it is the seatback, the movement of the ignition from the console to the dash, and the deletion of the full-across dash panel. It is starting to look very "ordinary" inside.
Whoever the supplier of the switches is, (and I wonder why everyone doesn't go to the suppliers used by Honda/Audi/VW) the LR3 and RR Sport, are just not up to the same standard as those on the current RR.
The additional items they should have added for 2007:
1. adaptive cruise control (already on the RR Sport)
2. Push button keyless ingnition
3. Power upper tailgate (or at least soft close - the current lock/hinges feel very agricultural for a $90k vehicle)
But I still love the car.
nyctraveler Posts: 1Hello.
I have a 1999 Range Rover. I went to start it today and it would not start. The message was Gearbox Fault. Nothing in the car turned. It was as if the battery was dead. But the message did not make sense.
Can anyone provide some insight?
khl Posts: 9Has anyone figured out yet (?available kit?) how to make the Rear Ent system work on the front nav screen while it's the vehicle is stopped in park. I understand that the front nav screen does work in this situation for those RRs sold in UK.
I just got 2007 MY Range Rover pricing.
A Range Rover HSE starts at $77,250 and that includes Sat radio and the heated accesories package.
A SC Range Rover starts at $92,750.
Luxury interior package is still 5,000 dollars and now includes cooled front seats.
The only other option change is a rear diff lock is now avaliable for 500 dollars. The rear diff lock is standard on SC Range Rovers. The only option for SC Range Rover is Rear seat entertainment and it is still 2,500 dollars.
I recently purchased a rr 06 with RESystem and was told this was not possible. Do you know how to override the navigation system to enter data while driving?
any difference from the 2006 models?
Yeah I think I posted the changes sometime previously.
Here are all of the changes.
All are interior or internal changes on exterior changes.

When[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] MC Hammer[/lastfm] lost the majority of his millions back in the 90's, he filed for bankruptcy. But the government says he didn't pay them all the money he was supposed to back then, so they are suing him.
According to HiphopDX.com:
Hammer finds himself in another financial pickle after failing to fork over some of the money still owed from his 1996 bankruptcy.
More than a decade after filing for bankruptcy, MC Hammer reportedly now owes the U.S. government $779,585 in back taxes and is being sued to recoup losses.
According to TMZ, Hammer mostly owes back taxes from his "most financially troubled years" – 1996 and 1997. The government demands that any concert earnings that Hammer makes must be automatically diverted to them.
Hammer, whose real name is Stanley Burrell, originally filed for bankruptcy in April 1996 after accruing $13 million in debt. He sold his mansion for a significantly slashed price and admitted to using up most of his $20 million fortune in 1997.
I just think it was a mild over site by Hammer. But then again? The government is good at giving plenty of notice, especially when you owe them money, to pay up.

Gloryful | Ocean Blade
by Jenn Carbaugh
– Columnist —
Gloryful was formed in the summer of 2010, and merely 10 months after the strong release of their first album, The Warrior's Code, they are at it again with their second album. Ocean Blade is full of metal hymns that have a stomping speed metal sound.
The album opens with "Hiring the Dead" and it's a quick and heavy way to get their musical message across. The lead front man and band's main songwriter, Johnny La Bomba, carries the album with lyrical concepts that are beyond tragic. There is a fictional adventure that takes place throughout this album, and it is presented in a somewhat classic heavy metal style.
The vocals that can be heard on Ocean Blade offer a wide variety of styles. There is some clean singing, rougher sounds, back-up shouting, and spoken lyrics as well. The '80s-sound is updated with modern production. There are a few epic and lengthy tracks as well as some added elements that have a twist to the sound. Halfway through the album acoustic guitars are brought in and create a folk type of sound that contrasts beautifully with the aggressive power metal.
Quick paced songs and skilled double pedal make the speed and power come alive in the majority of the album. There are also lighter songs like "Black Legacy" that have that folk and Celtic feel to them. Gloryful has not skewed from their previous sound, and their second album is not disappointing in the least bit. Some may feel that they are another early '80s-sounding power metal band, but they have an exceptional ability to bring energy and create stories that come alive within the metal.
