Now that my Annual Xmas Album Countdown has been announced, this feels like a good time to reflect on what others have been saying.
Magazine-wise the unashamedly mainstream Q made a good choice with Arcade Fire while both Uncut and the Skinny plumped for Joanna Newsom's latest opus, which I'm slightly ashamed to say I haven't heard yet.
NME made a brave, surprising and very welcome choice by picking out These New Puritans and overall, their list wasn't bad. I actually find the NME's list to be usually pretty good, despite the guff they cover through the year and this Christmas was no different.
Of the big websites, Drowned in Sound made a very obscure choice with Emeralds and Pitchfork opted for Kanye West, a result which both baffles and fascinates me, not being a fan of the self-important jackass. But who am I to argue – muso scientists Metacritic also have his latest album sitting top of the pile for 2010.
But what of Scotland?
Well, I was privileged to take part in the second annual BAMS vote. That's Bloggers and Music Sites to the likes of you. My top five albums post should be an obvious signpost to who I voted for – my choices didn't win but a couple did rather well, with The National running out clear winners. Here's the top 30 in full:
1. The National – High Violet
2. Admiral Fallow – Boots Met My Face
3. Meursault – All Creatures Will Make Merry
4. Frightened Rabbit – The Winter of Mixed Drinks
5. Kid Canaveral – Shouting at Wildlife
6. The Phantom Band – The Wants
7. Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
8. The Last Battle – Heart of the Land, Soul of the Sea
9. Broken Records – Let Me Come Home
10. Bronto Skylift – The White Crow
11. Beach House – Teen Dream
12. The Fire & I – Stampede Finale
13. Sufjan Stevens – Age Of Adz
14. Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest
15. Best Coast – Crazy For You
16. Mitchell Museum – The Peters Port Memorial Service
17. Teenage Fanclub – Shadows
18. The Scottish Enlightenment – St Thomas
19. Joanna Newsom – Have One On Me
20. Jonsi – Go
21. RM Hubbert – First & Last
22. Errors – Come Down With Me
23. Laura Marling – I Speak Because I Can
24. Sleigh Bells – Treats
25. The Boy Who Trapped The Sun – Fireplace
26. Micah P Hinson and the Pioneer Saboteurs
27. Bruce Springsteen – The Promise
28. How To Swim – Retina (Or More Fun Than A Vat Of Love)
29. Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
30. Silver Columns – Yes and Dance
The National were overcome with joy and told poll compiler and Scottish blogging demi-god Peenko: "That's great news. Thanks for the support!" Ummm. Ok.
Alongside yours truly, the other sites that took part are as follows:
Timothy London, Jock N Roll, The Daily Dose,Resound Scotland, The Steinberg Principle,Dauphin, Hercules Moments, Argos Barks, The Web Is Not A Cold Dead Place, Ed Rock, Off the Beaten Tracks, Found In Sound, Elba Sessions, Kowalskiy, Have Fun At Dinner, Ayetunes, Edinburgh Man, 17 Seconds,Scots Whay Hae, Open Till Midnight, Products of a Gaseous Brain, The Spill, Last Years Girl, Is This Music, JockRock, Dear Scotland, Manic Pop Thrills,Favourite Son, Peenko, Jim Gellatly, My Portis Wasp says, Never Make Friends, Detour, Jenny Soep, Net Sounds Unsigned, Listen Before You Buy, Song By Toad, The Daily Growl, Earz Mag, Glasgow Podcart, Rokbun, The Pop Cop, Pin Up Nights, Traffic Cone Music, Radar and Blueback Hotrod.
I hadn't even heard of some of these sites but will be mounting a full investigation shortly – even some of the albums that figured weren't on my radar, but that will also need to change.
Some – in fact probably most – of the sites listed above have drafted their own lists. I've not had a chance to look at them all but here's a few links to those that I've been enjoying.
- Ayetunes' all-Scottish extravaganza
- Peenko doesn't just co-ordinate the BAMS, he does his own list too
- Our man in Korea, Scrawls & Bawls continues to stalk a fast-rising American indie rock band but likes some other stuff too and has also evoked the spirit of Peel with a Festive Forty where you might recognise one of the guest contributors
- High quality recommendations from broadcaster Dougie Anderson
- Vic Galloway's 75 (!!! – count 'em) albums of the year
- Kowalskiy was still counting down his list at the time of writing.
At the time of going to press, Last Year's Girl hadn't yet published her chart but if I were a betting man, I'd stick a few quid on the National figuring highly; and while Matthew from Song, By Toad dithers over his personal choices, he's calling on readers to nominate their favourites.
On a different footing, my regular podcast contributor Slide Into My Hand has posted a Christmas special here. He'll be talking about – and playing – his favourite tracks of the year and there'll be tunes from Mogwai, Cee Lo Green, And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, Beach Boys, These New Puritans, PJ Harvey and loads more.
Finally, there won't be a chart on Radar, but they'll be publishing nominations from their contributors (including moi) for their bands and gigs of the year in the coming days.
Right that's just about me. I'm about to go into hibernation with my ladies until the New Year – a period which will be sadly sullied by coming into the office. Before I pull the shutters down, here's some festive cheer courtesy of my favourite Christmas movie of all time – Die Hard.
See you in 2011!

A new study from Oxfam estimates that more than 75 percent of Syrian refugees in Lebanon have taken on debt. Some families even rely on remittances from family still in Syria.
By Rebecca Collard, Correspondent / November 25, 2013
When Fatma Mohammed crossed into Lebanon from Syria a year ago, she brought with her $1,500 in cash – enough she thought to get her family of seven through a few weeks in Beirut.

Meditations on a Busy Spring
In my seminary classes, they want to stretch us. They want to make us think. By supper on most days, I feel like I cannot think or listen anymore. So I take evening walks and count street lamps and listen for night sounds. The other night a huge full moon rose in the east and I imagined climbing on it and riding it until morning. My mind was tired and wanted to play.
This weekend I have been studying for a Greek exam, reading textbooks, and working on a paper. I like to work in coffee shops on Saturdays with a tall, steamy cup beside me. Between chapters, I watch the steam lift in a slow dance from the rim. I watch the sun lean against the street. I watch people walk by, and I remember.
I suppose the remembering is a sign that I am growing old. When I spot a baby in arms, I marvel that I ever held one. Was it real? For some reason, I vividly remember coloring Easter eggs with my children. And I think of my gardens and how I might have been in one of them. Tulips, bright as Christmas bulbs, would be waving from a sea of violets.
Such things seem far away when books are piled high in front of me and deadlines loom.
I fight back the thought that I am too old for this, that I have started late, that there will be little time left after I graduate. I recall in the Gospels the wedding in Cana where Jesus turned the water into wine, and the host remarked, "You have saved the best for last."
Late in life, school is a feast for the soul, the best wine served last. It is a chance to stretch and drink deeply before the shadows of earthly years have grown long. I lift my cup to the sun and to the people passing by. I propose a toast to small miracles. Who knows what this one may yield?
Have you ever taken a chance on something that you were not sure was practical?

Cassandra..I've taken a few chances, and always been rewarded. That's not saying those chances paid off, necessarily. Some were absolute busts -- but I'm still glad I took each and every one of them.

I can think of one--the writers conference this year. It wasn't really very practical, but God made it possible.

Hello neighbor. Woke up missing having coffee with you today. Came here hoping to see you, and sure enough I did, through your this last post you have written.
As I was reading, I walked with you, counted the street lamps, and I watched you climbing my full moon. I first thought who could be my visitor, then I realized it was you.
As for your question my friend, my whole life has been a " taking chances" on something.
As life passes by us, fast decisions stands at our life doorsteps and asks this question always, are you willing to take this chance? Sometimes we join the life with its chances, and sometimes we do miss the whole passing by.
Is life, as we want to live it, is ever practical?
I love your last paragraph.
Here I drink my cup of coffee with you and enjoying reading your heart.
Have a wonderful blessed day.
PS: I may have to learn Greek, so I can communicate with you soon LOL - April 25, 2012 at 6:15 AM
So, this was you climbing my full moon. I was wondering, I thought it was you, but the way you have your hair done, I did not recognize you. :)
I have learned to take chances only when life is not practical, by human standards.
Enjoyed my coffee with you, my friend and neighbor. :) - April 25, 2012 at 6:55 AM

One of my favorite quotes. It's printed on the back of my business card. I only have business cards because I went to the ACFW conference last year. I'm not sure I even gave any out. ;) - May 5, 2012 at 7:48 AM

I haven't spoken to my father in over 20 years. Just not a good person. Don't miss him whatsoever. Glad I have a good mom at least.
It is not worth the effort to deal with harmful people. They will never give you any explanation for why they hurt you. Trying to get a meaningful apology is a complete waste of time and will only hurt you more. Some people are just narcissists and psychopaths. It is best to avoid from them 100%.

Make no bones about it, nannying is parenting with all the same joys and pitfalls. When you are in the moment with children, they don't focus on the fact that you are a paid employee and that you may eventually move on to another family or other career. They're too busy focused on being kids.
I'm fascinated with the still evolving aftermath of this cute YouTube video posted by a British dad four years ago. Titled "Charlie bit my finger — again!", the clip's charm lies in the older brother Harry's eloquent protests as his mischievous little brother Charlie plays the "baby card" and pretends as if biting is perfectly OK.
Harry is now 7 and Charlie is 5, placing them at ages 3 and 1 when this video was originally shot. Brace yourself for these numbers:
- The video has been watched 389.2 million times.
- It has been "liked" 808,860 times.
- There are now 626,683 comments from YouTube viewers.
Not surprisingly, those kind of numbers make advertisers salivate, which leads us to the most stunning statistic of all: The Dad, Howard Davies-Carr, is raking in more than $160,000 (100,000 British Pounds) a year in online ad revenues.
At his "Charlie Bit My Finger – Again" blog, Davies-Carr tries to keep his "aging" kids in the pop cultural spotlight by making more bite-themed videos recreating the moment. They have attracted a following, but naturally lack the same spontaneity as the original.
Jim White, a columnist for The Telegraph in London, laments that all the copycat parents out there will surely be missing out on some of the joys of family life due to the preoccupation of creating the next hit on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc.
"But what exactly is Davies-Carr – and those seeking to emulate his financial good fortune – missing in the anxiety to record his children's quirks for rewarding posterity? We used to mock the way Japanese tourists were apparently welded to their cameras, not seeing anything first hand, their experience of the world restricted to playback.
I remember once seeing a Japanese fan catching sight of himself on the big screen at a football match and immediately pointing his camera upwards to film the moment. When he played it back, however, with a view perhaps to posting it on YouTube, he will have discovered an awkward truth: his face was obscured by his camera. It could have been anyone up there."
Very few of us will hit the YouTube lottery like this British dad and there certainly is nothing wrong with sharing some of life's fun moments with friends and family. But something does get lost when we constantly watch our kids play and interact through our camcorder viewfinder or cell phone camera.
The Harry and Charlie show also brings up the issue of child discipline and how parents and the family nanny, babysitter or au pair need to be on the same page for how to respond to behavioral problems. Personally, I have found it effective to show my four-year-old daughter the Yo Gabba Gabba music video "Don't Bite Your Friends!" for messaging reinforcement.
We'd love to hear from parents and nannies about their favorite methods of discouraging human cannibalism in the playroom!
As the leading alternative to hiring a costly nanny agency, the eNannySource Learning Center is an invaluable resource to explore every aspect of your nanny search. It is especially vital that your views and parenting style are reinforced while your nanny or au pair is in charge. (Check out "Discipline and Boundaries for your Nanny" as a starting point).
On a more lighthearted note, there's no harm in laughing at life's sillier moments. If you're not one of the 389 million clicks, judge for yourself if Harry should be upset at Charlie:

Here's an interesting (if random) bit of Top Chef-inspired election analysis:
Obama Did Better In States Where Lots of People Search for 'Top Chef'
By Philip Cohen
Nov 10 2012, 9:36 AM ET 14
If you don't collect data on individual web users, and don't have a big-data budget, you can still learn a lot about how people voted in this presidential election from some creative probing of the Google Correlate database. The power of the tool is in uploading your own data (such as vote tallies) to see what searches mirror your target pattern.
For example, the map on the left is what I uploaded: the ratio of Obama votes to Romney votes in each state, as of Thursday morning. The map on the right, from Google, is the relative frequency of searches for "top chef." The two patterns have a correlation of .88 on a scale of 0 to 1.
Maybe it's a complete coincidence that Michelle Obama appeared on a Top Chef program earlier this year. But out of the 100 Google searches that most closely match that vote pattern, eight are about Top Chef. Others on the list include "spliff" (never heard of it), "mos def" and various reggae artists, as well as "itchiness."
On the other hand, searches for "founding fathers quotes" follow the Romney/Obama ratio just as closely:
Most of the searches on the top-100 Romney-state list (all correlated about the same .84) are about simple, non-obscene pleasures, such as "clean jokes," "clean funny jokes," "funny commercials"; and home-schooling materials, like "flag clipart," "in god we still trust," and "printable scrapbook." After the kids are in bed, though, someone is Googling "hot cheerleader," before quickly toggling back over to "sean hannity" when he hears mom coming up the stairs.
"Whatever you are, be a good one." Abraham Lincoln
Someone just came back from the Top Chef Cruise, and wrote about the expereince:

Another review of the Cruise, more detailed (and funnier), with photos:

The Albany Fire Department says an electrical short in a cell phone charger caused heavy flame and smoke damage to a Moultrie Road home
ALBANY, GA -- Albany Fire officials say an electrical short in a cell phone charger caused a woman's home to catch fire.
They say the Moultrie Road residence received severe flame damage to the bedroom, where the fire originated, and severe smoke damage to the rest of the house. Officials estimate there was between $8,000 and $12,000 worth of damage done.
The Albany Fire Department says the homeowner returned for lunch when she saw that smoke was coming from the windows and doors; they say she immediately called the fire department.
No one was inside the residence when the fire started; no one was injured according to fire officials.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
It's on the heels the big debate last night how do you play this election from a markets perspective our next guest has stocks he says -- quote election proof.
All the Porsche is president of Gary Goldberg financial advisors and co portfolio manager the GMG defensive beta fund a quick your back here on September 12 you -- kind of neutral to bearish about what has your tone changed all -- Well no it's it's really the same so QE is definitely still influencing the markets and driving things higher -- but the Dow transports are breaking down indicate some trouble science investors wanna be careful what does that mean.
-- you wanna stay away from stocks -- are going to be heavily influenced by the global growth slowed down.
Stick with telephone stocks to stick with health care stocks and of the US home improvement stocks -- -- sectors we think you're gonna do well.
Okay we're looking at your age chart of the -- and obviously that some returned recently are trying not to lose out at this point in the year let's talk about some of the sectors were specifically to your -- -- in particular Telecom.
Let's first go there with Telecom our specific names in that group that you like.
Because of this FCC.
Fight with the -- -- in -- Duration -- -- exactly so but -- on things it's becoming more more popular we're seeing it with the iPad was -- -- with the iPhone and all the different wireless carriers is bandwidth.
So companies like Crown Castle International for example are going to be big winners and that regardless of which carrier does well.
So it's all about -- with the Obama administration is pushing the FCC fairly hard we think the Romney administration would as well by the way if he wins.
And so we look at that sectors being a big winner.
We do like the eighteen -- and horizons and we -- them both and -- separate accounts but we think the telephone towers to providers of that band with -- going to be big went.
Castle suck that up over the last year about 51 per -- so it it's and if it is election proof.
-- got to see that returns continue also a couple of the socks -- -- watching very carefully that is Home Depot and that is was in these are names that you also like -- as well yes you're betting on the consumer right.
Well we're betting on the consumer he saw some consumer confidence numbers come in this morning there were proof positive you look at the JPMorgan numbers.
And you saw that home and loans in terms of mortgages as well as home equity loans are growing again.
And that votes both pretty well for the home improvement sector and again we think that that's an area that as the economy continues to kind of -- along.
And very slowly improve -- moment.
Do you buy that stock is up 72% over the last year and then and then we have that same question mark about the homebuilders as well candy stocks continue.
The Ron.
That's the eternal question we think that there is room to go because they are growing their businesses the margins continue to grow the revenues continue to grow -- got strong market performance and market share.
And so we are still somewhat optimistic at this point.
Okay you also like you mentioned as already mentioned health care obviously the president -- -- obamacare stays but you can -- stocks that you're picking our election -- We think so so we're not talking about the big pharma companies were talking about some of the pharmacy -- so we're talking about UnitedHealth but we're also talking about express -- CVS Caremark.
-- -- companies are gonna benefit no matter what because as people employ more more drugs to live longer and do all the things that we do to be healthy.
Those companies are gonna benefit and these -- the leaders in that industry and so we see them gaining some more strikes.
Upset that stock is up or just -- percent of over the last year though certainly you're still kind of stick with that this government grown and we still think there's room -- and again these are long term thematic plays over the next six to twelve months so it's not a day trade.
It yeah.
Mitt Romney were to win that I would think would -- game changer for the defense industry -- lots of rhetoric -- her last night in the debate senator around defense cuts Afghanistan if you will also how do you.
So assuming you have -- divert the -- divided congress in Iran the administration -- -- White House we would think that Lockheed Marten.
Northrop Grumman would be big winners in that because -- too great defense contractors are gonna went.
Boeing also could be a good play their specially with what happened with the -- yes just a couple days ago.
Are you think basic even the even no matter what Boeing but that really got -- -- -- Romney Ryan -- got very -- -- the defense sector -- a little bit more cautious on a few bombs -- and wins again but -- from the -- and that would be an -- sector that we would have monies to the I -- loved the political -- all reported thank you very much appreciate it Oliver thanks for.

Actually the phrase is, "If it's too loud, you're too old."
Radioactive said:
The phrase was "If it's too loud, turn it up", but in typical Weezer humor in the 90's they changed it to "If it's too loud, turn it down".
So when/ why was it changed to "If it's too loud turn it down" ? I like stories
I have a Weezer t-shirt from the 90s that says If it's too loud turn it down. It's a real thing. Why they did it, who knows. It's a t-shirt. Probably don't think about it too much.

I adore Pandora and Antigone, too--I can't understand why people don't like them, I think curiosity and the courage to stand up to authority are awesome.
And larkub, I know two Holidays! One spells her name with two L's, which I guess makes it a little more name-like.
For me, it's Ismay and Marceline. No one seems to share my enthusiasm for those at all. Same with Ferdinand and Quentin for boys.Gwen: Film student, bookworm, and bad influence.

Governor Snyder Declares Building Safety Month May 2012 Michigan Joins an International Celebration of Safe and Sensible StructuresContact: Mario Morrow 517-373-9280Agency: Licensing and Regulatory AffairsApril 27, 2012 - Governor Rick Snyder today declared May 2012 as Building Safety Month in Michigan. The theme of the month-long observance is "An International Celebration of Safe and Sensible Structures" with a focus on energy and green building, disaster safety and mitigation, fire safety and awareness, and backyard safety. "Public safety is our number one concern," said Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) Director Steven H. Hilfinger. "The intent of Building Safety Month is to increase public understanding of the importance of building safety and the resources available for protecting lives and property." When you enter a house or building, you most likely assume that it was properly constructed and safe. The importance of regulating and enforcing construction codes is often overlooked until a tragedy occurs. Fortunately, building safety and fire prevention officials, architects, builders, engineers, contractors, and others in the construction industry, work hard to ensure building safety and fire prevention every day. "Building code regulations in Michigan ensure that homes, schools, workplaces, and other buildings are as safe as possible," said Bureau of Construction Codes Director Irvin J. Poke. "Codes address all aspects of construction including structural integrity; electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems; and fire prevention, as well as manufactured home construction." First observed in 1980 as Building Safety Week, Building Safety Month is sponsored by the International Code Council, a membership association dedicated to building safety, fire prevention, and energy efficiency. The International Code Council develops the codes used to construct residential and commercial buildings, including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties, and states use the International Codes, building safety codes developed by the International Code Council. LARA's Bureau of Construction Codes and Bureau of Fire Services work as a team to ensure that the built environment and the systems within are sound, safe, and sanitary; the public's health, safety, and welfare is protected; and that, through a coordinated program of code compliance, investigation, and training, there is consistent application of standards. For more information, go to www.michigan.gov/bcc.

Warning: Potential self-harm triggers behind the cut
I remember thinking as a kid that everyone was like me. I always thought that the popular people were the same as me, except better looking and more confident. I thought they would appreciate me and everything I'm about if they got to know me. I thought that for a long time. I remember being at a party when I was 19 or so where these too-cool hardcore punk kids – I don't know why "kids" is the first thing I think of to call them – were talking about Sarah Silverman. In that moment I thought, oh god, I have the entire Jesus Is Magic special memorized.. I could quote something from it right now and they would realize that I'm awesome. But I know now that, not only would they not think I'm awesome, they probably wouldn't even know what I was talking about. And I wouldn't like them either. But I never thought of things that way. It was the same way with every guy I ever liked. I just liked them and worried that they wouldn't like me back. I would think, ugh, he smokes a ton of pot, he used the word "illiterate" to describe my fumbling with the door handle, he eats meat and doesn't care about animals, but.. what if he doesn't like me? I would always feel devastated when a guy didn't like me or when he stopped liking me and I think a lot of it had to do with my thinking that everyone is at least like me enough that they would find me interesting. And some of it was just a need for approval from men (16 year old boys).

GREAT DEBATE on Science and the Bible (The) Layman Young Earth v |
Price per Unit (piece):
Ask a question about this product | ||
Ken Ham, AiG president, is perhaps the most widely recognized creation-apologist in the world today. In this 5-disk set of DVDs, he and AiG astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle engage Drs. Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe) and Walt Kaiser (president of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary), both of whom are proponents of an old earth, no-global-flood view of Bible interpretation. In this eye-opening debate, well-mannered disagreement is punctuated by intriguing confrontations as these four Christian leaders communicate their views. Ham and Lisle implore Ross and Kaiser to accept the Genesis account of history as written, while Ross and Kaiser argue for their view that the first chapters of Genesis are more symbolism than history. This specially prepared version, produced by AiG, features the exact programs as edited and broadcast by the John Ankerberg TV ministry, PLUS two segments which were not aired and a separate audio track by Dr. Terry Mortenson, who contributes additional research and rebuttals in response to old-earth arguments presented by Drs. Kaiser, Ross, and Ankerberg. Essential for pastors and anyone who wants to understand the great debate! Featured speakers * Ken Ham, president and founder of Answers in Genesis * Dr. Jason Lisle, researcher and speaker for Answers in Genesis * Dr. Hugh Ross, president and founder of Reasons to Believe * Dr. Walt Kaiser, former president of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary |

These items are used in the Runecrafting skill.
Contents |
A Talisman is attuned to the Runecrafting altar after which is it named. For example, an Air talisman is attuned to the Air altar. A player can use the talismans to reach the altars via the 'mysterious ruins' found throughout Gielinor. Players cannot use the talismans until they have completed the Rune Mysteries quest, but it is perfectly possible to acquire talismans, from drops or trading, prior to starting the quest. A talisman can be used repeatedly to enter its altar and is never consumed for this. The talisman only grants access to it altar; the player must have the correct runecrafting level to craft runes there.
Talismans are also used to make Combination runes and are consumed in this process.
A talisman can be bound with a Tiara, creating an altar-accessing item that be worn on the head rather than carried in inventory. All talismans except the Elemental talisman can be bound in this way.
A talisman can be bound with a Runecrafting staff, creating an altar-accessing talisman staff that be wielded rather than carried in inventory. All talismans except the Elemental talisman can be bound in this way.
Note that players using the Abyss to reach the runecrafting altars do not require talismans (or other items like a tiara or talisman staff).
Most types of talismans can be purchased from Wizard Elriss in the Runecrafting Guild. Only Runecrafting guild tokens (awarded upon finishing games of The Great Orb Project) can be used to purchase these talismans. Wizard Elriss does not sell death, blood, elemental, or omni talismans.
Tiaras are simply an equipable version of talismans, which free up an inventory slot. A player can combine a specific talisman with an ordinary silver Tiara to get an 'infused' tiara. To do this, a player must have both objects in their inventory and use either one on the corresponding altar. This action also earns the player some Runecrafting experience, shown in the table below. Additionally, making one of these tiaras does not have a Runecrafting level requirement. All tiaras are tradeable except the Omni-tiara. When worn, these tiaras allow a simple left-click 'Enter Mysterious ruins' option to access the altars.
Tiara | Experience | GE price |
Air tiara | 25 | 58 |
Mind tiara | 27.5 | 67 |
Water tiara | 30 | 5,730 |

For example, if you want an Air talisman staff you must go to an air altar with the Runecrafting staff and air talisman, then use the staff on the altar. A Runecrafting staff is sold at the Runecrafting Guild by Wizard Elriss for 10,000 Runecrafting guild tokens.
The staff can be equipped in the weapon's slot, allowing players to left click on the altar to get inside, saving an inventory space. These talisman staves may be used to access the particular altars they represent. Jagex had also said that the staff can also be used for "distracting the eyes in the Abyss to help you sneak past".
All talisman staves have the following bonuses, with the exception of the Law talisman staff, which has no combat bonuses to allow it to be taken to Entrana. These staffs are the best weapons available to "obby pures" with only 1 attack in a free-to-play world. With no combat requirements, requiring only 50 runecrafting, the +33 strength bonus is extremely high, compared to that of an Iron 2h sword, which is only +14.

The Law talisman staff has no combat bonus at all, to allow it to be brought to Entrana to craft runes with it at the law altar.

I have a passion for web design, and I want to start a business to get my name out there. The problem is, I'm not really sure how it works. I have a few simple questions:
How should people go about hiring me?
What should I ask the people who hire me?
How much should I charge, since I'm a beginner?
When I've finished working on their website, how would I "give" it to them?
And also, some other tips would be nice. I really want to get this going. Thanks!

To meet a growing need for broadly-trained professionals in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields, the Biological Sciences Graduate Program at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia is crossing traditional academic boundaries in its new degree offerings. The new PhD in cell and molecular biology and a professional MS degree in cell biology and biotechnology provide students with interdisciplinary graduate experiences.
"We're offering a small program with diverse research opportunities," said Dr. John R. Porter, graduate programs director, who explained that the degrees fill fundamental niches for the mid-Atlantic region and beyond. The exclusive focus on interdisciplinary research and learning, emphasis on biotechnology, drug discovery and delivery, and a vast and varied range of topics and disciplines, differentiate the program from other regional offerings.
The graduate tracks provide opportunities for advanced learning in cell biology, molecular biology and genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, bioc
istry and structural biology, and the business applications that support these pursuits.
"In the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, interest in individuals who specialize within a single focus is waning," Dr. Porter said. "Instead, these industries are increasingly looking for professionals trained across multiple disciplines who can work in several facets."
· With a PhD in cell and molecular biology, students are exposed to multiple disciplines and guided through the understanding of complex biological systems. The program prepares students for advanced research as well as supervisory positions in industry, government service, or academia.
· The professional MS combines courses in the scientific fields with key business courses that prepare students for management positions in industry, advanced training in related fields such as patent law, marketing or medicine, technical positions; or further education leading to PhD, MD, or MD/PhD degrees.
"The program's interdisciplinary approach throughout graduate education places students at the forefront of knowledge of cell and molecular biology, and shapes them into career scientists of high value to industry, government, and academia," Dr. Porter said.
These degree options were added to the already successful cell biology and biotechnology MS and MS (non-thesis) degree options. All of the graduate programs use evening courses to make the degrees accessible to the working student. A certificate in biotechnology is under development.

Home > Health and Safety, Ages 2 to 5 Years
This topic suggests ways to help prevent illness and accidental injuries in young children. It does not cover every risk that a child faces, but it does cover many of the most common hazards and situations that can be dangerous to children ages 2 to 5 years.
Children in this age range are gaining many new skills and feel more and more independent. They may be curious, want to explore the world around them, and act without thinking. This can lead to dangerous situations.
Your child is gaining in confidence and probably wants to explore. But your child still needs your close supervision and guidance. You can:
Understand that your child will go through active and curious phases. Recognize these periods, and think about what you can do to avoid safety hazards. If your child is discovering the joys of riding a tricycle, for example, be sure to make riding in the street off limits.
No one can watch a child's every move or make a home 100% safe all the time. Try to find a balance among supervising your child, taking safety precautions, and allowing your child to explore.
Taking care of yourself is a vital part of keeping your child safe. Most injuries to children happen when parents or caregivers are tired, hungry, or emotionally drained or are having relationship problems. Other common causes of family stress include changes in daily routines, moving to a new house, or expecting another child.
Learn all you can about child growth and development. Doing so can help you learn what to expect and how to handle certain situations.
If you feel stressed, get help. Talk to your doctor or your child's doctor, or see a counselor. Get together regularly with family and friends, or join a parenting group.
Call 911 right away if you feel you are about to hurt yourself or your child.
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.

The importance of parental self-care:
Handling food safely, practicing basic hygiene to prevent communicable diseases, and getting regular physical exams and immunizations are all healthy habits that help protect your child against illness and infection.
Thorough cleaning and food preparation helps keep you and your child from getting food-borne illnesses. Do your best to also choose restaurants that handle food safely.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends the following steps to prevent food poisoning:
For more information, see the topic Food Poisoning and Safe Food Handling.
Although colds and flu are more common in the colder months, they can occur any time of year. Take extra precautions to help protect your child against these and other viral and bacterial infections.
Schedule regular well-child appointments. During these visits, the doctor:
Preventing your child from having accidents and injuries is a huge task. Children ages 2 to 5 years reason with self-centered perceptions and magical thinking. These thought patterns lead children to overestimate what is in their control, which contributes to their vulnerability. They are often unaware of the consequences of their actions.
You can help protect your child from accidents and injuries by taking general safety measures around your home. Also, think ahead about what potentially dangerous situations will attract your child.
Some parents think that strict safety measures are not needed because their child is closely supervised or has not yet shown an interest in dangerous areas or items. Although responsible supervision is important, it is not realistic to think that you can watch your child's every move or that he or she will never become curious about something off-limits. Also, constant hovering over children can limit their experiences and confidence. Balancing supervision with safety precautions will help prevent accidents and injuries, as well as allow children to explore.
The following are common accidents and injuries that can occur around the house, and some suggestions on how to prevent them.
Preventing falls is not always easy. Toddlers and young children often move quickly. Their excitement about their mobility and their lack of experience can make them unaware of dangers, such as stairs or hills. Children ages 4 to 5 years anticipate many dangers but may not have the physical skills to successfully avoid accidents. You can help prevent young children from falling by putting up stairway barriers, monitoring their play area, and providing stable play equipment. Also, keep walkways, decks, porches, and stairways free of objects.
Children ages 2 to 5 years can easily choke on everyday objects and food. Your child needs your supervision even though he or she may be able to eat independently.
You can help prevent choking by taking basic precautions in how you prepare foods and by teaching your child safe eating habits.
Many household items can strangle a young child. Make sure loose cords, objects, and furniture do not pose strangling risks. The following suggestions can help you reduce potential hazards.
Suffocation is another danger for young children. Teach your child about suffocation and the importance of a safe play area. Pay attention to possible suffocation dangers, such as:
To prevent poisoning, identify household cleaners and other chemicals, plants, medicines, makeup, perfumes, and any other products that, when eaten or inhaled, can harm a child. It is critical to properly store these items out of reach of young children. If you have a possible poisoning emergency, call 1-800-222-1222 and you will be automatically transferred to the closest poison control center. For more information, see the topic Poisoning.
Lead poisoning is another cause for concern in young children who may chew on contaminated paint flakes, painted objects, or toys. House paint is no longer made with lead, but homes built before 1978 may still have lead paint on walls and other surfaces. For more information about lead, see the topic Lead Poisoning.
Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning by frequently monitoring levels and taking precautionary measures, such as having your furnace checked each year. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. It is produced from burning fuels such as natural gas, gasoline, fuel oil, or wood (for example, in indoor heating systems, car engines, cooking appliances, or fires). High CO levels quickly affect young children because of their small size. For more information, see the topic Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
Indoor air pollutants, such as secondhand smoke and mold, can also affect health and safety. For more information, see Tips for Reducing Indoor Pollutants in Your Home.
Prevent household fires by having and maintaining smoke detectors, planning and practicing escape routes, and teaching your child basic fire safety skills. Children ages 2 to 5 are often curious about fire. Warn your child about the dangers of fire, and explain why only grown-ups are allowed to use it.
Serious burns are most often caused by heat, electricity, or chemicals. Other types of burns include radiation burns (usually from sun exposure) and friction burns. Prevent burn injuries to your child by identifying dangers in your home and removing them or blocking your child's access to them. For more information, see the topic Burns.
Gun and firearm safety measures should be established for all households and especially those where children live or visit. Keep all guns and firearms in a locked area, unloaded, and out of reach of children. Also, store knives (even kitchen knives), swords, and other weapons safely out of reach.
Pets are in many households. Children who live in homes without pets likely will encounter animals in other settings. Many injuries can be avoided by teaching children how to properly interact with pets. Also, pet owners who train and keep their animals healthy are less likely to have problems when children are around.
Children younger than 5 years of age die from drowning more than any other age group.2 Help prevent a drowning tragedy by following the recommendations from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the National Safety Council, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
In addition to these precautions, learn first aid and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Knowing these skills can make the difference between life and death in an emergency situation. For more information, see the topic Dealing With Emergencies.
It is a constant challenge to keep your child safe. Children ages 2 to 5 years often do not recognize dangers without constant reminders because they reason with self-centered (egocentric) perceptions and magical thinking. These thought patterns lead children to overestimate what is in their control, which contributes to their vulnerability. They are often unaware of the consequences of their actions.
You cannot protect your child from every danger he or she can possibly encounter outside the home. But you can equip your child with some basic safety rules and precautions. Let your child's natural surroundings give you ideas for general training to help prepare your child for a variety of situations he or she may face.
To help avoid accidents, injuries, and unsafe situations outside the home, establish and review basic rules before outings and frequently reinforce them. And let other caregivers know about them.
Before your child visits an unfamiliar home, ask whether you need to be aware of any dangerous areas, weapons in the home, pets, or other safety issues. Also, it is always a good idea to see the household for yourself. Don't be afraid to voice any concerns you have about safety. You are ultimately responsible for protecting your child.
Before enrolling your child in day care, evaluate the environment and talk with the care providers. Ask questions about their safety guidelines. Identify any hazards and ask how they are handled. Inspect the food preparation area and ask how often it is cleaned and with what kinds of products. For more information, see the topic Choosing Child Care.
Many parents and caregivers want to share their favorite activities with their young children. This can help build common interests and appreciation for exercise and other pursuits. Be sure, however, to recognize the safety issues related to these activities. Remember that your child's comfort and safety are most important.
Taking care of yourself is a vital part of keeping your child safe. Although accidents can occur at any time, most happen during times of excess stress, such as when:3
Recognize the signs of stress and what situations cause it. Be extra vigilant during these times and take care of yourself and your personal relationships.
For more information, see the topic Stress Management or the Interactive Tool: What Is Your Stress Level?
All parents have times when they feel exhausted, frustrated, angry, sad, or overwhelmed. Recognize that this is a normal part of being human and a parent. But if these feelings become too much for you to handle alone, keep your child safe by getting help. For example, when your emotions are too much for you to handle alone, you may not have the energy or desire to watch your child as closely as you should. Some parents injure their children when their emotions cause them to shake, hit, or push them. This can result in such problems as shaken baby syndrome, which can cause permanent brain damage or even death.
Call 911 right away if you feel you are about to injure yourself or your child.
Places to go for help include:
For more information on physical harm to children, see the topics Shaken Baby Syndrome and Child Abuse and Neglect. For more information on handling difficult emotions, see the topics Depression, Anxiety, and Anger, Hostility, and Violent Behavior.

Rare Collection of Saint-Gaudens Coins Up For Auction
Filed under: Auctions
Beautiful and rare coins are headed to auction next week when Bonhams & Butterfields in Los Angeles presents an auction of Rare Coins, Medals and Banknotes. The September 20 auction includes the J.D. Collection of Saint-Gaudens $10 eagle coins which is comprised of approximately 30 highly sought after gold coins, date from 1907 to 1932. Most of the coins have been off the market for many yeas and many of them are in Choice to Gem Uncirculated condition and are graded by the both major numismatic entities, NGC and PCGS. Part one of the J.D. Collection, a rare and complete set of Gem Mint State $2.50 Indian Head quarter eagles was sold by Bonhams & Butterfields in early 2010.
The most expensive lot is a 1907 $10 with Wire Rim graded NGC MS64. There was an estimated mintage of only 500 pieces. Augustus Saint-Gaudens was commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt to create completely new designs for United States coinage. The Wire Rim and Rolled Edge Indian eagles, along with High Relief double eagles, represent the original work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens as he intended these coins to look. The coin shown above is estimated to bring $36,000-44,000. Other rare coins include a 1910 $10 MS67 NGC (estimated at $18,000-25,000); 1911 MS66 NGC (estimated at $10,000-14,000); 1913-S MS63 PCGS (estimated at $20,000-24,000); 1914-S MS64 PCGS (estimated at $10,000-13,000); 1914-D MS65 NGC (estimated $11,000-13,000) and a 1915 MS66 NGC (estimated at $10,000-14,000).
