We have a 3 bed (small), 1 bath, one living area (combined lounge, dining, kitchen) home with a small deck & yard. We have one child & plan to have 2 more. We'd always thought we could stay in this home until our oldest was around 10-12 (youngest probably 6 by then). Reading the other thread has made me wonder... Is this really practical? Do other people love in small homes (or apartments even!) with 3 kids?
#2Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:15 PM
3 kids in a 2 bedroom plus sleep out, one bathroom home here. If we had anything bigger it would take longer to clean! #3Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:19 PM
My oldest is 12. The house is definitely now too small. It did all right until now though.
#4Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:20 PM
Of course it is. Don't get suck into the belief that you need a big house for kids.
Only a generation ago it was very common for 3 kids to be raised in a 3brm, 1 bath home. This generation has an obsession with massive homes. #5Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:20 PM
Of course they do, I grew up in a vey small 3x1 and there were 5 kids!
#6Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:21 PM
I grew up with my parents and three kids in a 1 living room, 1 bathroom/toilet 3 bedroom house.
It was fine, never thought anything of it. I certainly never thought it was too small! I remember growing up thinking how boring our house looked and have always loved older homes with character. Now that i'm an adult I finally have an older home. Usually these homes in their original state only do have 2-3 bedrooms.

Yes. We had 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom/toilet , 1 living room with 4 kids and 2 adults. We put an extension on just before we got pregnant with #5, it was nice but we could have lived without it.
#9Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:29 PM
I currently live in this with kids 3, 5 & 7yrs. Our 'yard' is 5x5m so tiny.
We are feeling how small the place is now. Problem is I love the area. To get a bigger place would mean an extra $1m which we don't have, so I will complain, dream of extending up or purchasing a bigger block, but we live here. Hopefully by the time DS1 is 10-12yrs we will be able to purchase a bigger place. My sanity is probably the thing more at risk. As the Boys (5 & 7yrs) share a room it is not as if I can send them to their rooms if they are fighting LOL!!! #10Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:29 PM
We have 3 kids in a small 3 bedroom home. My only grip at the moment (they are 3, 6 and 8) is no storage, but that has nothing to number of people. I am thinking we will have to think about renovating or moving in 5 years or so.
#11Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:30 PM
We had 3 kids in a 2BR with one living and one bath. We put in a second toilet.
A year ago we upgraded to a 3BR house and again put in a 2nd toilet. This is it for us! #12Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:31 PM
I was 12yrs of age when my parents finished the extension to the 3bd house we originally had. My brother was 15yrs and my sister 5yrs.
We loved having the extra room of the extension. I think I would not have survived the teenage years sharing with my sister who was 7yrs younger. I was already ready to kill her at 12yrs of age. #13 Guest_3Keiki_*Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:39 PM
re storage
cause I think that would be the only problem (been there done that) Look at creating an attic storage space can be a saviour #14Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:45 PM
To me, it's all about the dining space and if you have any pets. We could easily have 3 or even 4 kids in our 3+1 (plus rumpus, but that's mostly storage) but the dining space barely fits the three of us and two 30kg dogs take up a lot of room, too. If we had more dining space and no dogs (or small dogs or cats) there would be plenty of space to live until teen years, then it might get pretty crowded.
#15Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:46 PM
Why don't you have some more children and see how you go before thinking about buying a new house?
People in Australia seem to think they need a McMansion but it's really not necessary. Many people do just fine in a small house, kids sharing bedrooms - it might encourage them to communicate. #16Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:49 PM
Just a question about storage....what are you storing exactly?
Do you mean clothes, toys etc or things that you never use or maybe a xmas tree/decos? Books? I can't imagine or even contemplate storing so much stuff. Special things that kids have made, documents, some books i need to keep somewhere but there are things that i have that i haven't looked at in 2 years. I'm definately going to start eliminating s&*t that i never look at. #17Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:08 PM

We live in a 3 bedroom (two are double-size), 1.5 bathroom, tiny living area, tiny kitchen cottage/house. Lovely big veranda and garden though!
My two DDs will have to share a bedroom when #3 arrives. We use the attic for storage (mainly kids' clothes for re-use, crates and crates of them!) I am thinking about somehow closing some of our veranda in for extra living/play area in winter. My DD1 is 10yo; the house has felt cramped ever since DD2 came along. We are planning to renovate at some stage, dependent on finances. #19Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:23 PM QUOTE (elegie @ 18/11/2012, 07:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why don't you have some more children and see how you go before thinking about buying a new house? LOL. We have zero intention of purchasing another house, it would more be a matter of limiting the number of children. We can't afford a bigger house so we'll be here for the next 10yrs or so. #20Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:27 PM QUOTE (TillyTake2 @ 18/11/2012, 07:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We have a 3 bed (small), 1 bath, one living area (combined lounge, dining, kitchen) home with a small deck & yard.

Oldest is 13.5yrs and twins will be 9yrs this week. eta: And we were even in a 2BR unit until about 18mths ago which we were living in before DD1 was born.

I grew up in a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 living area home and it was ridiculous how little space we had. I could not escape from my family... ever! Eventually I got my own room, and it was OK, but my sisters shared a room until they were 19 and 15.
I know I don't "need" a house with multiple living areas, and one bedroom for each child, but I really, really, really, really want one. I work hard and I think I deserve to be able to come home from a day filled with children repeatedly calling my name and asking me to do things for them and have enough space to escape from children repeatedly calling my name and asking me to do things for them! - My ideal home has enough bedrooms for each child, and a children's retreat/rumpus with a door, so it can be hidden from the view of the main house (so I can pretend the mess doesn't exist if I need to). - A separate parents "wing" with lots of wardrobe space, and an ensuite with a BIG bath - A lovely big kitchen and lots of bench space. - Lots and lots and lots of storage - A study with lockable doors (from the inside!). Ultra-ideal home would have all this plus a guest room with ensuite, and a pool. #22Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:33 PM
There is a downside to a lot of storage.
My husband and I rattle around in a BIG three bedroom 2 bathroom house, it has huge living areas and loads of storage. We didn't buy the place for the house, but for the land and outbuildings....we have a 3 car garage, a huge workshop and various other small garden/wood storage sheds. And we've never accumulated so much crap in all of our lives! At least with less storage space you're forced to make decisions and discard unused belongings. But since moving here, I've discovered my husband is a bit of a magpie and he's always bringing stuff home.....stuff that he thinks we'll use one day. Right now it's just taking up space! #23Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:35 PM
I think it's fine. I think some extra space is useful as they grow up, but little people want to be where you are anyway, so I've found extra play spaces are really only useful if you are there with them anyway (or as storage space for more and more toys).
We have two in a very small 3x1. It's fine. I'd have another - though our bedrooms are small so it would be tight to fit another in a bedroom. #24Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:36 PM
I grew up in a 3 bedroom house with 2 adults and eventually 5 kids. When my little sister was 4 my oldest sister moved out. so then was 4 kids in a 3 bedroom. We had one bathroom as well so imagine 4 teenage girls in 1 bathroom plus my parents lol always fun times. We had a decent size lounge/dinning area it was seperated by carpet in the lounge, floor boards in the dining room and a kitchen that you had to walk through the dining room to get to the kitchen.
It's 100% doable I dont see the point in getting a huge house unless you have maybe 5+ kids but each to their own. Edited by YellowKittyGlenn, 18 November 2012 - 07:38 PM. #25Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:42 PM
We bought recently and we bought a 4 bed plus guest house( no bathroom facilities) and built a 21mtr x 9mtr shed.... On 2 acres. We figured we will have 4 kids in 3 rooms, the guest house is currently office/ band... And the shed there are 2 bays that are a rumpus room type set up..... The kids I'll have space to get away if need be.... But we also coped just fine in a 3 bed etc etc up until now.
I really want a 2nd toilet. 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Saudi Deal Skews Arms Sales Trend
Several weeks ago the Congressional Research Service (CRS) turned heads by reporting that U.S. global arms transfer agreements rose by a striking 210% between 2010 and 2011:
In 2011, the United States led in arms transfer agreements worldwide, making agreements valued at $66.3 billion (77.7% of all such agreements), an extraordinary increase from $21.4 billion in 2010. The United States worldwide agreements total in 2011 is the largest for a single year in the history of the U.S. arms export program.
Dramatic as this increase may appear, it has a very specific explanation. CRS pointed out to lesser fanfare that a massive $33.4 billion contract with Saudi Arabia singlehandedly caused the spike in U.S. arms export sales in 2011:
Although the global total in weapons sales in 2011 was especially high--due primarily to the unusually large agreements value of the U. S. contracts with Saudi Arabia--the international arms market is not likely growing overall. The U.S. global total for arms agreements in 2011 seems a clear outlier figure.
Taking note of this factor allows us to dismiss several more strategic explanations: that defense industry is succeeding in diversifying overseas sales to supplement weakening domestic demand, or that there has been a fundamental shift in this aspect of US foreign policy. Foreign military sales likely won't stabilize at this stratospheric level without those factors kicking in, making them the important ones to watch in the future.

Keeping the Faith
Time for Christians to hit the road

Nothing screams "summer" like a family road trip. Even with the explosion of easy-access information, human beings still long to explore their world. We aren't content to merely "Google" our surroundings and accept that as a genuine experience.
So, families get up, get out, and get going, especially during these sacred months of warm weather and long days. To the beach, the mountains, the grandparents, the roller coasters, or the local state park, parents and children stream, their SUVs laden with fishing poles, tents, Weber grills, and luggage.
Moms and dads relax, at least a little bit. Kids get sunburned, a lot actually. Relatives get visited and hugged, even those we don't like. And gallons of ice cream, lemonade, and soda are consumed by thirsty hands and mouths as sugary-sticky as duct tape.
I love these road trips as much as Clark Griswold and Cousin Eddie. I always have, though when I was a kid raised in a poor family, "vacation" consisted of a hot two-hour ride in a rattling station wagon to Aunt Francis' house, an afternoon at a Civil War Memorial, and dinner at Bonanza. Still, I loved the road, and it felt like a great adventure (believe me, with that station wagon, every trip was an adventure).
I'm traveling more and more these days, not so much out of love for the road -- I like sleeping in my own bed -- but out of love for old and new friends; out of love for what is happening all across North America. In Atlanta, Peoria, Detroit, Dallas, Paducah, Tucson, and everywhere in between, I find and spend time with people who are over-churched and religiously over-worked, but who are under-graced and under-gospeled.
The practice of their faith has become an albatross around their neck and they want to be free of it, not because they suddenly have given up on faith or hate Jesus, but the contrary. They so love Christ and so value their faith, that to retain these things they love, they must let everything else go. They want simply to worship their God, follow Jesus, and help their neighbors. They hope to do this without all the ecclesiastical machinery we have created.
They meet in coffee shops, in store fronts, around dining room tables, in pubs, and yes, sometimes in church sanctuaries. They have come to understand that church isn't a place we go. It's something we become. Church isn't about buildings or organizations or sacraments. It's about people and relationships. Church isn't an institution that should complicate our lives further. Rather, it should set us free and focus our lives on Christ.
I once heard Phyllis Tickle say that every 500 years or so, the church has a rummage sale. Paraphrasing, she said every few centuries Christians scrounge through everything we have stockpiled in our attics and collective storage boxes. We start sorting through it all and discover that some of it is too precious to ever let go. But much of what we find stashed away in moldy storage units has to be moved to the curb.
After all, Christians are a pilgrim-people. This world is not our home and we are built for the wandering, open road. Hanging on to anything beyond what is truly essential will only weigh us down, and hanging on too long will cause us to sink roots where we do not belong.

WHITPAIN — It's going to take diversity to whip the health care challenges of today and tomorrow.
That's according to Dr. Peter S. Kim, president of Merck Research Laboratories, and the man in charge of Merck & Co.'s drug and vaccine development.
For 17 years, Merck has partnered with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) to support scholarships in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, particularly biomedical and chemical disciplines, to promising students.
"Working together over the years, we've been able to advance the careers of talented African-American scientists," Kim said at the Fellows Day awards dinner, held Monday at Normandy Farm Hotel & Conference Center.
According to UNCF's senior vice-president of academic programs and strategic initiatives, Dr. Karl Reid, that UNCF/Merck Science Initiative (UMSI) has supported 627 scholarships and fellowships at the undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral levels to date — 37 of them this year.
"They come from all over the country. This year, we have a record number of applicants," he said, adding that Merck screens the applicants.
Started in 1995 with a 10-year, $20 million grant, it was renewed in 2006 for an additional five years with a $13.1 million commitment from the pharmaceutical, vaccine and biologic therapy company. In 2011, Merck Company Foundation and Merck Research Laboratories extended the commitment another five years with $13.3 million.
Dr. Donnie Eddins, a senior research biologist in behavioral pharmacology at Merck's West Point facility, is a three-time UMSI fellowship recipient who today is conducting clinical trials to treat Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.
"It's very critical to push STEM programs," said Eddins, who also serves as a Merck mentor to scholarship recipients.
Merck president and CEO Kenneth Frazier is African-American and closed his congratulatory remarks by saying, "We're counting on you, and your future generation of scientific leaders ... to show your great capabilities."
UNCF president and CEO Dr. Michael Lomax took the UNCF's recognizable motto, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste," and amended it. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a wonderful thing to invest in," he said.

There are tons of real estate investing gurus constantly marketing to "Come and See" their products and services . . . whether it's a new course, seminar, book, webinar, or mentor program. While it's very important to "Come and See," invest in a good training course, go to the seminar, participate in the mentor program, it's far more important to "Go and Be!"
When I say "Go and Be," I'm talking about getting out in the field and taking action on what you've learned. In other words, go "be" an investor. Even if you have yet to close on your first deal, as soon as you take action, you're a real estate investor. Because you're on your way to getting that first deal done.
Too many beginning investors doubt their knowledge and abilities and feel the need to read one more book or course, go to one more seminar, and wait until they feel like they're "ready" to make the first phone call, start marketing, or even get a business card.

more about Calitri FAQ
Calitri is in Campania, a region very well known both in Italy and abroad as the homeland of pizza, mozzarella, and of romantic melodies. The Borgo Antico Calitri is located in the centre of Italy - halfway between the ruins of Pompeii and the Amalfi coast to the west and Magna Graecia to the east
The area around Calitri is sprinkled with castles, aristocratic palazzos and delightful locations soaked in history and tradition, ridged with hills and valleys and marked by the ancient trails along which Hannibal and his legions marched when setting off to attack ancient Rome 2,000 years ago. Twenty centuries later, these lands are still completely intact. Here, visitors can wander around and re-discover ancient worlds, visit abbeys and monasteries reminiscent of times gone by, enjoy the Mediterranean cuisine and wine, bask in the sun, and fill their time with exciting sports and cultural activities. This combination of factors make Calitri a unique holiday location where homebuyers can go to switch off and recharge their batteries.
The Antico Borgo Calitri is in the oldest section of the 6,500-strong town of Calitri and is dominated by the castle which predates the 12th century. The town is known to locals in the Irpinia area as the Positano d'Irpinia because its pastel colours and architecture are reminiscent of villages on the Amalfi coast. Calitri is surrounded by idyllic countryside interspersed with rivers, lakes, fields, woods and archeological ruins. It's origins are lost in the mists of time, and the town and the areas around it are dotted with archeological remains dating back to ancient Rome and beyond. In the centuries following the decline of the Roman Empire the area became an important route of communication and transport connecting the Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic coast. It fell under the control of Fedric II of Svevia during his reign in the 12th century and was then subjected to Spanish dominion, and later became difficult to visit when many locals turned into makeshift highway men to combat the Napoleonic dominion of the 1800s. This turned the region into an isolated, insecure and poor area, which in turn encouraged workers and families in the early 1900s to emigrate to the richer north of Italy as well as North and South America in search of a better future, which led many a household to be abandoned.
The local economy also suffered from an earthquake in the 1980s similar to one that took place in the region of Umbria in 1997. History has helped mould the gastronomical customs of the area. Most of the typical mouthwatering dishes are based on home-grown agricultural produce, meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables. Age-old recipes passed down through generations are still prevalent today and are founded on the traditions of the healthy Mediterranean diet. Local wines are also an important attraction, some of which, like the Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Lacrymae Christi, Taurasi and the Aglianico, are well known and appreciated around the world.
The Antico Borgo is structurally a labyrinth of ancient palazzos, rustic ironwork, marble stairways and engravings. The houses have thick stone walls designed to seal cold or warm air in, making the internal ambiance more comfortable depending on the season. Its wine cellars, meandering medieval passageways, chiselled entrance ways, marble engravings, sun-kissed courtyards and rooftops are a snapshot of a bygone area. The Borgo has the added bonus of a unique view over the valley.

Yummy Gummies
Several years back, the first medicated gummy candies we saw blew our minds. It felt like anything was possible (to infuse). Unfortunately, the company (who shall remain nameless) didn't tell us that, if left out, they would start to mold. Gummies should not be fuzzy, people! Thankfully, Eleutherian Enterprises has a recipe that is not only tasty, but won't turn into your own penicillin farm. One 200mg bag is divided into six pieces of strawberry deliciousness, or roughly 33mg per half-moon bite, which is a great beginning dose for most patients; you can always eat a few more if you have a higher tolerance. And you'll want to. The ganja flavor works well with the sweet—but not overly so—flavor of the Yummy Gummies, and the great texture means you're not gnawing on one all afternoon. Our only knock is that Gummies can be on the sticky side, so try leaving them in the fridge or a cool space and they'll be easier to consume. Overall, these are a great choice for someone looking for daytime pain relief without the impending-doom feeling that heavier edibles can bring to the table.

Quote:http://scientificninja.com/advice/write-games-not-engines Ok, I found this great article. Now, my question is. Should I use a game engine to create games? If I'll create a game and use a game engine, I can't reusing it's functionality because that's for the only specific engine that I've use. So in the end, I didn't make an engine at all. Honestly, I'm really confused on where to start. I've made many games in 2D using the SDL API and reuse some of it's code like creating text, image, menu, sound and etc. Now I moved to 3D. I want to make games also here but I also want to make an engine so I can use it to create my next game.
If you repeat this process long enough, after a few games you'll have the beginnings of a solid collection of reusable functionality that has been proven to have practical applications.

The article does not expressly say "Don't use an engine", nor does it advise you to "never write an engine". Its really advising you to have the humility to recognize when you are not yet ready to write an engine up-front, and to be sure of the requirements of your game and that you are writing code to fit the game, rather than writing some misshapen code and then trying to shoehorn your game into it.
Go ahead and use an engine if you like, exposure to an established engine will be enlightening -- though be careful to view it realistically. Every engine has things it does well, and things it does not so well. Under no circumstances should you take an engine like, say, OGRE or even a commercial engine like Unreal Engine 3, and assume its construction is doctrine.

The idea behind that article is that simply writing a game, produces and engine anyway - you don't need to "write and engine" because if you write a game, you get an engine for free. The first game you write will need a menu, a way to get from that into the game, a way to render 3D models and play sounds for example.
So you have scenes and scene management, resource management and use in there. Thats an engine :) Sure it might be a simple one with 4 classes but if thats all you need then bham your done. Maybe copy it into a /src/Engine/ sub directory so you know never to put game specific code into any file in that directory. Next game just cut+paste /engine/ and your good to go.
Next game you start you'll have so much code already there -> that IS your engine. Engines are NOT something mythical or magical, its just a set of source code that does what you want which you can reuse.

But it is also a great learning experience, if a long path to success....
I would hazzard that most of the now very successful and long lived engines have come out of the quagmire of finding and solving problems for an original game concept they were used for. If you take a close look at their history you'll see that the owners / designers of those engines are often the ones leading trends, and the people who license them are often stuck one iteration behind, often having to augment the engines to get what they need.
Personally I have not found a game engine yet that does everything I need.
I have also never been entirely happy with any engine I have produced.
If you have the time then I would always suggest having a go yourself.
But if you are producing something that fits the kind of game produced with a particular engine that is available to you, then why not take advantage of that? YOU can always augment that engine with specific modules you require.
However, with most of the cheap and readily accessible engines out there. Torque, Unity, etc. etc. I have always found that learning to use them, and adapting to their methods takes almost as long as writing those things yourself. And you are then stuck with those methods forever, often not fully understanding what's actually going on deep under the hood.
So if that is the case with you then perhaps you are ready to write your own.

I think the primary point the article was trying to make, and Josh can come along and correct me if he likes, is that...stuff
Yea, pretty much. The grand, overarching idea is, of course, the one get shit done. So certainly if the option exists to use an existing engine (either a full-spectrum game engine or something more specific, such as a rendering engine like Ogre), by all means, go ahead.
You can still build your own "engine" of reusable bits frameworks of code around something like Ogre just as well as you can build it around something like Direct3D, too.

After this if you want to progress onto bigger and better games (not neccasarily the same thing ;)) choose an off the shelf engine like Ogre, Torque or something similar.
On the other hand if you prefer to write an engine and arn't too interested about games go ahead and write one but, remember the chances of you being able to produce something better than a dedicated middleware company are very slim.
Even AAA games companies think twice now before developing in house tech as the cost in man hours to create an engine will likely end up being more than licencing an off the shelf solution.

This is what I suggest you to do : make games, when you want to try something new, make the engine. That's what I would do and that's what I will certainly do in a near future.

If you use an existing engine, you don't need to write your own - because you can use that same engine for your next game too. What's the problem here? :)

Start it small, keep it modular and extensible, and build it up over time. Eventually you'll have enough re-usable code to make flexible sub-systems that have passed "trial by fire" by being used in multiple games. That's extremely important, and it's why the big engines have so many licensees -- they've been proven to work.
So while you shouldn't set out to "write an engine", you should actively be re-using your code, and building up your framework of helper functions, utilities, tools, algorithms and sub-systems. You'll eventually end up with something you could call a Game Engine.

Well, care must be taken when someone is writting a game in order to get an engine for free, because someone could write a "hardcoded game" by accident, with no reusability in mind.
Refactoring - if you're an agile developer you're probably doing it anyway many times while developing, and it becomes the step that turns the meat of your asteroids clone into the engine for your breakout clone.

- Products: Machete
- Genres: Action Adventure
- Cast Members: Danny Trejo, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Michelle Rodriguez, Robert De Niro, Rose McGowan, Steven Seagal
- Producer: Elizabeth Avellan
- Director: Ethan Maniquis, Robert Rodriguez
- Associated Luminaries: Quentin Tarantino
- Writer: Robert Rodriguez
- Studio: Screen Gems
Robert Rodriguez's schedule has never been busier than it is right now. Already set for release this summer is the Rodriguez-produced Predators while work has just started on Spy Kids: Armageddon in Austin. Meanwhile, Red Sonja had a recent casting change and other long-rumored projects like Sin City 2 are presumably on the way as well. Add Machete to that list and you've got one busy Texan.
Variety reports a date of September 3rd for the Danny Trejo epic, based on the fake trailer Rodriguez shot for 2007's Grindhouse, in turn inspired by 70's celluloid revenge flicks. Trejo stars as the titular Machete, a Mexican day laborer who seeks revenge after being set up for an assassination attempt. The film is set to include some bizarre (but amazing) casting choices, including Steven Segal, Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Alba.
Machete is not the only Grindhouse trailer that is set to see the light of reality; Eli Roth still claims that he wants to do a feature version of his trailer, Thanksgiving. Personally, I'd prefer to see Edgar Wright tackle Don't.
Hopefully, Machete's release will mean that we'll finally get a definitive version of Grindhouse on DVD and Blu-Ray. Planet Terror and Death Proof just aren't as fun when they're trailer-less and not a double a feature.

Great news if you are waiting to line the streets to welcome the Olympic Flame: you will not have far to walk.
On Wednesday, 25th July, the torch will be coming from Lordship Lane and parade down Wood Green High Road, turn right into Turnpike Lane, through Hornsey via the High Street and turn right again to move up to Alexandra Palace.
You can look up the full route on the official site here: http://l2012.cm/GAMeI5
And if you haven't had enough celebration during the day welcoming the flame, there will be evening events too, details are not quite confirmed yet, but they will be announced here: http://www.london2012.com/event/9000962794 .
Update: see the entire route with times on the video below

I've been wondering how I would introduce myself to you guys in RoosterTumblr. I was intimidated because I noticed that most of you either draw or write. I (unfortunately) lack the skills to do either and I didn't know how to contribute to the RoosterTumblr community.
And then the trailer came and BOOM - inspiration. So this is just a little video in celebration of Season 10's premiere. Hopefully you enjoy this and get pumped up for Monday :D

Online betting gurus don't mince words â they will tell you right away if a team is being held back by the quality of its coaching (or lack thereof). Coaching matters in any sport, but football seems to magnify the importance of the person in power on the sidelines. Football requires so much in the way of organization, motivation and structure. The men who provide these things get their teams to play well and maximize their talent. The ones who fail in this effort are the ones who donât last very long in head coaching spots. They settle into careers as coordinators and position coaches, or they try their hand at the college game if the NFL doesnât work out for them.Â
Sportsbook experts know that on a general level, there is always a familiar set of questions which emerges when a team plummets in the NFL. The pressure to win is so intense, which makes it easy for fans to call for a coachâs head. Which coaches deserve to be fired, and which coaches deserve more time with their current teams? That dividing line needs to be explored, and hereâs an early read on which coaches stand on the wrong side of it.
The coach who is most likely to be fired after the 2013 season â if he even makes it that far â is Greg Schiano of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Schiano has, by most accounts, acted improperly in leaking information about former quarterback Josh Freeman. Schiano has done something which has angered the NFL Players Association and has unnerved his own players in Tampa. Schianoâs on-field results are also awful. The Buccaneers stand at 0-5 and have failed to beat some average teams, such as Philadelphia, the New York Jets, and Arizona. Schianoâs situation seems to have no light at the end of the tunnel, more than any other coach in the NFL.
The second coach whose neck is on the chopping block is Ron Rivera of the Carolina Panthers. Rivera has worn out his welcome in Charlotte, and unless he engineers a substantial second-half turnaround this season â one that gets the Panthers to an 8-8 record or better â itâs going to be difficult to see how he holds onto his job. Cam Newton is an electrifying talent, a franchise player whose gifts cannot afford to be wasted to the slightest possible extent. Yet, Riveraâs very conservative approach to using Newton has greatly upset the fan base. Carolina is a team that seems stuck, and when that occurs during the prime years for a very talented quarterback, the organization is going to feel a lot of internal and external pressure to make a change. Rivera has a very short leash. If he canât beat the New Orleans Saints this season and get to 8-8, heâll be shown the door.
For a franchise with as many past glories as the Oakland Raiders, itâs obvious that higher burdens apply, ones that reshape the calculus used by betting software. You can see that the Raiders havenât done much of anything since their run to the Super Bowl 11 years ago (the 2002 season), and Dennis Allen â now in his second year â is not making the improvements that were hoped for in the world of the Silver and Black. Allen has not changed the environment surrounding the team, and the persistent lack of a quality offense is precisely what turns off a fan base in an instant. Allen is the third coach whoâs likely to get the boot.
Other coaches â Gus Bradley in Jacksonville, Leslie Frazier in Minnesota, Tom Coughlin with the Giants, and Rex Ryan with the Jets â are either just starting to make adjustments with bad teams or have accomplished things in the past that will give them an extra year on the job.

Wow. What a nice set of...... glasses! (Sorry. Couldn't help myself!) Sony's track record in this sort of thing is spotty at best, so we will see. If they (Rocketboom) have a large and well established fan base this may help the transition. Then again, if Sony screws it up, they may defect and fast. |

4 Tasting Notes
I love this infuser basket with a rooibos-dust-free, caffeinated passion.
A good, calming, afternoon-in-the-office kind of tea. Not hugely remarkable, but solid.
I loved it the first time I had it – a tea bag in the Numi Collection box. I've since purchased the loose leaf. I like it, but there's a flavor that sometimes hits me the wrong way – nutmeg? Maybe it's picky about time/temperature, and I haven't been very scientific about it?
Intense cinnamon goodness.

Fifteen knitting kit
This painting is of the fab Fifteen knitting kit that I was delighted to win in a competition run by Stitch and Bitch London! It is a limited edition kit, containing lovely pink and grey wool from the sheep that supply lamb to Fifteen's restaurant. Naturally, I had to start knitting straight away, then paused to set up the kit as a still life to paint. The kit is very well thought out: as well as the three balls of yarn, there is a pair of gorgeous wooden knitting needles, and a choice of five knitting patterns for items that the wool could be used to make. I'm making the lacey scarf, and very much enjoying the knitting of it, so can recommend the kit as a fab special present for someone who loves knitting, or wants to learn.

For the 18th Sunday after Pentecost in Series C the three readings are Amos 6:1-7; 1 Timothy 3:1-13 or I Timothy 6:6-19 and Luke 16:19-31. The text chosen for the sermon is Luke 16:27, "Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house.'"
Normally, the primary theme in this parable is that miraculous signs and wonders have no effect on bringing someone to faith. Instead, the means God uses to do so is Moses and the prophets. In other words, the means of grace is God's Word with specific attention to the Gospel promises of Jesus Christ connected to His death on the cross and His resurrection from the grave.
However, for this sermon we will focus on the attitude of the rich man; named Dives from the Latin Vulgate as Jerome translated the word for "rich". First, it appears that Dives has not changed his attitude toward Lazarus as a beggar with the task of serving the rich. He tells Abraham to order Lazarus to bring a tip of his finger with water to him. Then, he orders Abraham to send Lazarus to the five brothers of Dives so that they will not come to this place of torment. Finally, he argues with Abraham that the Word of God is not sufficient to save but what is needed is that someone, like Lazarus, should rise from the dead.
Dives' attitude of unbelief even in hell results in no repentance for the way that he had treated Lazarus. Instead, the universe still revolves around Dives as he attempts to order Lazarus around and seeks comfort and help only for those of his own household. It is true that nowhere in the Bible is there an indication that those in hell will repent of their sins. In fact, will they not be like Satan who prefers hell to worshipping the true God?
The attitude and predicament of Dives is in strong contrast to that of Lazarus who is said to be in the bosom of Abraham. That is significant as we remember how John was also in that position at the Last Supper. That beggar and impoverished Lazarus would be near Abraham after death while Dives is in another dimension of existence apart from Abraham would be a shock to the hearers of Jesus' day. For they imagined that riches were a result of God's blessings while poverty was a result of His curses. How different is the Christian faith from that not only of Judaism but from every other law-centered religion of the world!

I love the book by Lewis Carroll, The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland. It is so imaginative dreamy fun and poetic. Disney created the best of the movies so far with its trippy cartoon. It is a friggin' great movie. I am yet to see Tim Burton but have heard great things. All that matters is it's great, its trippy, its fun and I imagine it in beautiful psychedelic colours. Hence this fan design created of Alice. I also love the Jefferson Airplane song White Rabbit and have mashed the two to create this awesome design! This series is called Ask Alice! Listen to the song and you will understand. :)
