Australian shares ended in the red again yesterday, as the falls were led by yest another sharp sell-off in QBE, while Crown, CBA and Westpac provided some support to the ASX200 for the session.

According to Goldman Sachs the odds are in the bulls favour for the market setting up for a Christmas rally, with an over 80% chance of an over 3% rally starting in the next few trading sessions. This will need traders to come to terms with the prospect of the US Federal Reserve changing its stimulus policy into the new year, which they have appear to have done in US market.
The SPI 200 futures were down -0.7% at 5,111, giving another negative lead for the ASX market today. The Australian dollar rebounded from a around three month lows at US91.6c. Traders will look to the Westpac Consumer Confidence report due out today.
US Markets
US stock markets eased back from new record highs, as traders chose caution ahead of the next FOMC meeting will be held on 17-18 December and the ongoing federal budget negotiations.
The three benchmark indexes edged lower back from new record highs, as traders continued to digested the the prospects of a Fed taper. Volatility continued lower -2.7% backing off six week highs. The S&P500 index is up 26% for the year and is on track for its best annual performance since 1999.
Eight of the ten S&P500 sectors ended in the red, with the falls dominated by the Consumer Discretionary sector down -0.9%, Healthcare down -0.5%, followed by the Financials, Energy, Tech and Industrials sectors all down over -0.3%, while the Materials sector rose 0.3%.
In economic news the five US agencies approved the Volcker rule, which bans proprietary trading and aims to reduce the chances that banks will endanger federally insured depositor monies, but regulators did concede to bank lobbying, granting a broader exemption for banks' market making desks.
Traders took profits after St Louis Fed President James Bullard said that the odds of tapering had risen given the better than expected monthly jobs report. Bloomberg says a third of the 35 economists surveyed now expect the Fed to begin to tape in the December meeting.
For the session Dow Jones closed down -0.3% at 15,973, the S&P500 closed down -0.3% at 1,802, and the NASDAQ closed down -.02% at 4,060, while on 10-year Treasury notes eased again to 2.80%.

The Europe Stoxx 600 fell -0.7% and is down -3.2% for the month so far. Across the region eight of the ten sectors ended in the red, with gains in the Financials up 0.2%, but falls were dominated by the Automakers, Miners and Tech sectors were down over -0.7%, followed by the Consumer cyclicals and the Telecom sectors down -0.4.

The MSCI Pacific Index eased -0.1%, backing off the prior -0.8% gain. The index is still up 8.6% for the year. All ten sectors ended in the green, led by the Tech and industrials sectors. Sentiment was boosted by the positive response to the better US employment figures and the improving Chinese economic data, although it missed estimates.
The Chinese market edged lower, after the Chinese factory output rose by 10% (down from 10.3% in the prior month) and just shy of forecasts. Recent CPI figures have show inflation pressures remain manageable, with the economy stabilising, which should allow policymakers to continue focusing on policies to support growth while implementing structural reform measures into 2014.

The Japanese market eased, but has been strong and outperforming the region for 2013.

Out for the Summer!
All this warm weather is KILLING me. Sold the bike thinking I could handle not having one. The week of warm weather (and the people enjoying riding in it) is starting to show me it could be harder then I thought. I know a guy who has a few Bikes (ones a Gold wing~ish bike and the other is alot like the CB posted above). Might see if he'll let me fix one up for the summer. I like the idea of a bit more luggage but don't know if I could handle a full dresser or something like that.
BTW, I went to Artisian Springs at 127 and 12 last week and saw the Harley Davidson MT500 (I think). I liked how it looked, Alot. Anybody ever ridden one? |

My 4x4 is a Subaru.
A few of my buddies and I are all on the same page now.
Last fall, I picked up my KLX250s. My friend in GR picked up a WR250r last month, and just last week, my friend in Traverse City bought a KLX400SR. His brother has a plated XR400r. Two weekends ago, we planned out a loop/route on the MCCCT from Gladwin to Traverse City. We don't have any idea how long it will take, so in April, we're going to do a day trip to see how far we can expect to cover in a day. I can't wait for some warm weather. |

I'm so happy I finally ordered this rug after viewing it online for almost a year! I had read all the other customer reviews which helped me decide to take the plunge. The rug provides all that I wanted. It helps tie together my sage couch, leather chair and straw-colored chair. My walls are painted a warm gray and the rug, with it's ivory-taupe background, sage, blueish grays, tans, and rust-red, melds beautifully with my decor. My other furniture is espresso which offsets the rug nicely. The rug does shed fine wool fibers, more so than I had hoped, but for the price point I can live with the shedding and hopefully it will subside. We have 2 small dogs so I didn't want to spend a lot on a rug, and with this rug it looks like I spent a lot.
I hesitated over buying a rug on-line as it's always tricky knowing exactly what the colours will look like. I am so glad that I finally took the plunge and bought this one. It's neutral, light with wonderful splashes of a russet red and sage green. The main body of the carpet is beige but the border is a lighter blue/grey. It's so neutral that it could go with so many different colour schemes, but it's definitely not bland. I have a burgundy couch/chairs in the family room and hope to change them soon for something lighter but this rug will still work. There is some shedding but it's just a quick vacuum and nothing that any other wool carpet wouldn't do. Can't recommend this highly enough. Would love the same in my living room and dining room - but that would look too matchy!
Carpet arrived quickly, and looks great on my parquet wood floors. Thick and lovely to walk on, I was hesitant when I bought it, but couldn't imagine not having bought it now. No noticeable shedding upon first vacuum. Understated, neutral tones go well with my garnet-colored couch and mauve/gold chairs and mahogany wood.
I purchased this rug last november, so pleased with the reviews and stated quality. After just 2-3 months fibers started pulling up in various sections of the rug. I tucked them back in but to no avail. it just gets worse and worse and I am so incredibliy dissappointed. I emailed overstock and was offered 10%. Whoop-de-doo! I bought this rug because it was such a deal for the quality. I am very dissappointed that overstock is not doing more to compensate, or send another rug. maybe this one is jjust a defect, but I would not suggest you take the chance on it.
I always find it hard to order items on line when color is so important. However, with this order, the rug was exactly what I expected. The color was a very close match to the photo and the quality was excellent. It is in our dining room and coordinates very well with dark woods. I would highly recommend this item ... for the price, you can't find anything near this quality and size.
I ordered 2 of these rugs for adjoining rooms (dining/living) in a small townhouse in an historic district. The color is very muted gold with a few spurts of dark red.Extremely tasteful. If fit very well with my traditional furniture. And they are very well made. They did shed for the first couple of weeks, but after that nothing. I highly recommend this rug.
I have been looking for an oriental wool rug for months, had a limited choice everywhere because I couldn't spend $$$$ When Overstock emailed me the rug offer for such an amazing price I couldn't resist. Then I read the reviews and was nervous that maybe I had jumped too fast. Well Halleluia!! It is the most beautiful rug, Thick, soft and even softer colors. I fits my beige and gold theme with Chili pepper accents perfect. And it doesn't shed at all!!! Love It!!!Thanks Overstock!!
Ok, I was very nervous about ordering this rug because of previous reviews about color & the rug shedding. I took a chance anyway, because the price was awesome! The color is a bit lighter than the picture shows, but I still love it! I did notice pretty heavy shedding at first so I gave the rug a very slow vacuuming for the first couple times. Not a problem anymore! I love this rug! So very happy with my purchase!
This is not represented well by the images. It is a very light with taupe, blue gray, and I found the cinnamon/burgundy shapes esp. in the center quite large and awkward looking. I imagine they are more proportional in a smaller rug, which is probably what is shown. I ordered the 8' 3x11' size. The rug arrived damaged. Overstock was great in processing the return.
I ordered this rug on Sunday, it was delivered today - Thursday! It is perfect - exactly what I wanted for our dining room, just beautiful. I wasn't sure if the design color in the rug was red or rust however the Overstock online staff assured me it would match with my rust decor; and it did. It would really be OK with either color. It's soft and thick, and was a great price. I'm so glad I ordered this rug!

The Bonner Effect: How Shutting Down the Spurs' Shooter Could Be the Key for the Grizzlies
By Zach Lowe atStopping the San Antonio Spurs offense, one of the league's three best over the last three seasons combined, is always going to be a chore. Smart defenses can construct wonderful theoretical game plans centered on limiting the Spurs to midrange jumpers off Tony Parker pick-and-rolls by cutting off Parker around the foul line and staying home on San Antonio's unfair army of deadly shooters. And some of those smart defenses are good enough to actually execute that kind of game plan over long stretches, or even entire games.
But the Spurs have top midrange shooters at key positions, and they are so good that over time they're going to find cracks in even the most well-meaning team defenses. Parker and Manu Ginobili, even this aging and limited version, are brilliant ball handlers who can slice through the gut of a defense with wily crossover dribbles, tiny bits of misdirection, and pinpoint passing. The constant whirring of the Spurs system often gives them a head start by putting their defenders through all sorts of off-ball movement before Parker or Ginobili finally catch the ball in position to attack — and with their defenders off-balance and/or fatigued. And no group of NBA big men is better versed in the art of setting screens in tricky little ways that disguise which direction the Spurs' ball handlers might jet around those picks.

LENOX -- Expanding on its series of Popular Artists performances at Tanglewood this summer, the Boston Symphony has booked three more performances by diverse artists such as folk icon Joan Baez, joined by the Indigo Girls folk-rock duo, scheduled on June 23.
Later in the summer, a tour dubbed "Last Summer on Earth 2013" will stop at the BSO's summer home, featuring Canadian alt-rock band Barenaked Ladies, along with the Ben Folds Five, the alternative rock band formed 20 years ago in Chapel Hill, N.C., and Guster, yet another alternative rock group that originated in Boston in 1991, on July 23.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, a rock band founded as an indie group in Vermont in 2002, will be joined by singer-songwriter and guitarist Josh Ritter on Aug. 19.
The latest lineup, with tickets on sale Monday, March 25, follows the bookings of Melissa Etheridge (returning to Tanglewood for the first time in 24 years) with Eric Hutchinson on June 21; the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration featuring Warren Haynes with the Boston Pops conducted by Keith Lockhart on June 22; Jackson Browne with Sara Watkins on July 4; the Steve Miller Band (a Tanglewood debut) on July 29; and jazz bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding on Aug. 4.
All Popular Artists events are in the Koussevitzky Music Shed, except for Spalding, who will perform in Ozawa Hall.
The summer bonanza includes four additional Boston Pops dates and a BSO performance of the Leonard Bernstein "West Side Story" score synced to a screening of the remastered classic 1961 film co-starring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer and Rita Moreno.
The high-water mark for Popular Artists shows at Tanglewood was in 1976, when there were 13. In more recent years, there have been six, on average. According to BSO spokesperson Bernadette Horgan, the goal for this summer was eight; six have been booked so far.
The BSO will perform 22 classical concerts (including a Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra date and the traditional Tanglewood on Parade) during its core eight-week season from July 5 through Aug. 25. In addition, there's a robust lineup of TMCO concerts and performances by ensembles and soloists at Ozawa Hall.
Also slated this summer are two public-radio specials -- the 14th annual "A Prairie Home Companion" live presentation with Garrison Keillor on June 29, and the Tanglewood debut of "Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me!" the humor-laden weekly news quiz show with Peter Sagal and Carl Kasell, which will be recorded live on Aug. 29 for later broadcast.
Joan Baez, now 72 and a Woodside, Calif., resident, made her 1959 debut at the first annual Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island. She first sang in the Berkshires at a Pittsfield Boys Club concert (temporarily renamed the Berkshire Music Barn) on Aug. 17, 1963, where she introduced Bob Dylan, then virtually unknown and her paramour at the time, as her surprise guest. The concert, originally slated at the Music Barn in Lenox, was shifted to the larger venue in Pittsfield because of audience demand. Baez returned to the Newport site on Aug. 2, 2009, to celebrate the folk festival's 50th anniversary.
A high-profile civil rights and political activist, she marched with Martin Luther King in 1963, appeared with Nelson Mandela at his 90th birthday celebration in London's Hyde Park, and sang at the Occupy Wall Street protest on Nov. 11, 2011. She received a Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2007.
She will be returning to Tanglewood for the first time since 1990, when she also performed with Indigo Girls. Baez made her Tanglewood debut in 1979. On Sunday, June 23, at 2:30 p. m., Baez again shares a twin bill with the folk-rock duo formed by Emily Saliers and Amy Ray when they were in high school. Their first album won a 1990 Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Recording. They have released 14 studio recordings.
"We really work hard to not lean on any tried-and-true path in making our albums," Ray said in a prepared statement. "So when it comes to writing new songs and working with different musicians, every record feels like a completely different adventure for us."
BNL, as Barenaked Ladies are known, originated in Ontario 25 years ago and are characterized by a comedic performance approach, including banter between songs and improvised raps. The group has sold more than 15 million albums and singles, according to industry sources. Ben Folds Five released its first album in 1995, broke up more than 10 years ago and reunited in 2008. Folds had embarked on a solo career, performing with orchestras around the world.
Folds, lead vocalist and songwriter, also performs on keyboards. Guster, a band formed 20 years ago by Tufts University students, launched its career with the 1999 album, "Lost and Gone Forever." Experimenting with a variety of styles and arrangements, the group's most recent release, "Easy Wonderful," won critical approval.
The rock quintet Grace Potter and the Nocturnals was formed by St. Lawrence University students in upstate Canton, N.Y., in 2002. The group has released four studio albums, tours extensively and appears on late-night TV. Potter has been called "one of the rock world's reigning elite female vocalists," according to the BSO announcement.
The group has opened for the Dave Matthews Band and has collaborated with country stars Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. Their newest album, "The Lion The Beast The Beat" was released last June and charted to No. 17 on Billboard Magazine's top 200 list.
Ritter, a singer-songwriter, recently put out a new album, "The Beast in its Tracks," his sixth recording.
"I hadn't composed this stuff, I'd scrawled it down, just trying to keep ahead of the heartbreak," he stated. "They needed to be recorded like that. We needed to work fast, make decisions quickly, keep the songs as spare as they could be kept, and above all never allow ourselves to blunt the sharp edges. Some of the songs were mean or evil. So be it."

Last night Elle celebrated Tinseltown's elite at their Women in Hollywood celebration. Vets like Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn mixed with the younger set, which included Mad Men's adorable Kiernan Shipka (who looked like she walked right off the set in her retro frock). The fashionable crowd included Sofia Coppola (classy in black and white), Rachel Zoe (fabulous in fur), Gwyneth Paltrow (punchy in tangerine) and many more.

Oliver isn't much of a morning eater. I have to get him a pretty decent workout quickly so he eats his breakfast. I also put a Lil warm water in his kibble to slur it up a bit. Are you feeding him the same food as his breeder was? Need to just train on the crate. Right now he is seeing it as a place he goes while you leave. When you have time to dedicate a few hours you can get a big step ahead on crate training. (there are tons of good threads on here about that) Just being outside doesn't mean he thinks it's all potty time.. I would make him go before you bring him in. If Oliver isn't listening and running around exploring then I tether him to me and we explore together. Since getting a pup I wake up 1 1/2 hours earlier so I can get him exercised, fed, mentally stimulated, and me getting ready... They are al separate things on my to do list in the morning. It's the only way I know they can get done. Best of luck Howdy from Idaho! Oliver Kahn der Fasan Suchenden 08/03/13 |

Testing my patience today My boy is really testing my patience today. He is 20 weeks old and been home with the family now for about 5 days. He's really came out of his shell. Today when I woke up, I let him out of the crate and led him outside to use the bathroom. I then put food and water in his bowl. 1st question: He does not seem to eat hardly at all in the morning and throughout the day he still isnt eating what I would consider alot. The breeder was feeding him dry food with mixed in cooked meats. I am just feeding him dry food. Will he start to like his food and eat more? While I was getting ready for work I left him outside to do his business and to be able to run around while I'm getting ready. While I'm inside and he's out alone he continues to paw at the screen on the door. I put a chair in front of the door to try and block him but he keeps at it. I have tried to go outside and correct during this behavior but it does not stop it for long. How can I correct this behavior. After I had finished getting ready I let him inside. My mom was sitting on the couch. I tried to get him to go upstairs and to come in his crate. He didn't want to go upstairs at all. He just ignored me and went to my mom and throughout the downstairs finding anything he could get into. I had to pick him up and guide him upstairs. When upstairs he went every where instead of my room. He knew he was going to be going in that crate and didn't want to go. He went in my bathroom and I went to go get him to put him in the crate. When I went to go get him and started to pee on the bathroom floor. After being outside for almost 45 minutes. He's seems to have been doing good for the most part on using the bathroom outside. He has had some accidents in the house though. He peed one other time when my dad wasnt looking and pooped once down stairs when no one was looking. Today was the only day that he just peed right in front of me without any hesitation. |

Parra kicked 11 points in the 16-10 success as the French side booked their place in their first ever Heineken Cup final.
And Parra said afterwards: "It's one of the toughest European Cup games I've ever played. Munster played for territory but also played some rugby and put us under pressure.
"I'm really pleased for the squad to not have to go through what we did last year [Clermont lost to Leinster at the same stage a year ago].
"On their try we took a hit to our confidence. Maybe the past helped us to hold on and to go back up to their half to try to score.
"We need to be better at the end of games. The final might come down to three points, a drop goal or a penalty in the last minute. We will need to cut out our indiscipline. We have to make sure we score when we have chances."

The list is up to five people, so far. C'mon folks, let's get this party going. The only thing bugging me is that I won't have our new puppy by then. Just another reason to make this a monthly event. Now I really regret not having a pool. If I had a pool, we could have a great Golden pool party. Time to put one in! |

Since I'm hoping to provide some drinks for people, it would probably be a good idea to figure out how many humans there will be, huh? I can't wait to meet Max! (And you too, David. ) |

The number of online adults who have used online classified ads has more than doubled in the past four years. Almost half (49%) of internet users say they have ever used online classified sites, compared with 22% of online adults who had done so in 2005.
On any given day about a tenth of internet users (9%) visit online classified sites, up from 4% in 2005.
These are among the main findings of an April 2009 survey by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project survey. They highlight the growing importance of such sites to internet users and reflect the changes in the audience for classified ads – both those who place them and those who make purchases – that have devastated a key revenue source for traditional newspapers.
This report is based on the findings of a daily tracking survey on Americans' use of the Internet. The results in this report are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research International between March 26 to April 19, 2009, among a sample of 2,253 adults, 18 and older. For results based on the total sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling and other random effects is plus or minus 2.4 percentage points. For results based Internet users (n=1,687), the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.

Old Inspirations
I am a "historical" quilt book junkie. I've got a couple books from the 70's that call to me as much as newer books do. This one is called New Discoveries In American Quilts by Robert Bishop.
It was this book, and the larger photo in the "America's Glorious Quilts" Coffee table book that really got me intrigued with Salinda Rupps Quilt (now referred to as nearly insane..and believe me,it is!)
What's funny about these 1970 books is they were "pre" rotary cutter and modern methods, so they are kind of funny to read in those terms. They also contain a LOT of black and white photos! What GOOD are black and white photos? I know color printing wasn't as "evolved" 30+ years ago as it is now, and I'm guessing it was VERY expensive at that time.
But having black and white photos can be a boon too, because you start to see things in terms of value, not color. You are free to interpret what you want in the gray scale.
However, there is ONE photo I really wish I could see in color in this book! I even blew the picture up so you can see it. Crumb pieced diamonds! I don't even know what size they are, but faced with a basket of odd crumbs, the bare bones of what was left after my students combed through my stash in my crumbs workshop, I decided to just piece a couple. And a couple more....and, okay 20 more... :c)I'm using phone book pages as the foundation. When you trim the blocks,you get fun weird angles along the edges. Many of the blocks in the quilt show recogniseable patchwork parts which I think are fun. 9 patches, 4 patches, square in a square, broken dishes, etc. I hope you can see it by clickingon the pic! So I'm playing. I don't know how I'll set them..maybe in rows like this, or in stars, or alternating with plain diamonds....but I am so intrigued by the little pieces in these diamonds. My 60 degree diamonds are 4" per side.
I took buddy to get a hair cut this morning. I found the card for a local gal who does dog grooming, and she is very close. She was great with Buddy and called me in a n hour and a half saying he was done and ready to pick up! He looks great, and so much cooler!
11 comments:
bonnie, another beauty! and yes, how large are those diamonds...inquiring minds...and i agree with you about old books; i too have a couple that are more than worth their weight in gold...
PS, when is the book coming out and will it be available nationwide or through you? I want to reserve a copy, signed of course...LOL

What does it mean to be green? "Green" is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment — the water, the land, and the air we breathe. Why green? Plants are green, and without them the Earth wouldn't be such a lovely home for us human beings.
Every day, people make choices that affect the amount of trash and pollution that gets produced in our world. What can you do? A whole lot, actually. Here's a four-step guide to being green:
When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the Earth. For instance, a shorter shower means you used less water and less fuel since your house uses fuel to run the water heater that warmed up the water.
Here's a list of other stuff you can reduce:
Sometimes people call ours a "throwaway society." That means that we're a little too willing to throw away old stuff and buy new stuff. Many times, even if you no longer need something, someone else just might. For instance, if your baby brother outgrows his plastic basketball hoop, why not give it to another family who has a little kid? That's one less plastic basketball set that they need to buy. It's also one less large plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged, and shipped to the toy store.
Here are some additional ways to reuse the stuff you have:
Recycling has never been easier. Many communities will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require it. Tell your mom or dad you want to become "Chief of Recycling" for your household. That means you'll organize the recyclable items in bins, remember to put them on the curb on recycling day, and help remind others which items can be rinsed and recycled.
By separating plastic bottles, cans, bottles, and more, you're reducing the amount of trash that goes to the landfill. What's a landfill? A big mountain of trash, where all the trash trucks go to dump their loads. Recycled goods go instead to a recycling center, where they can be crushed, broken down, and later turned into new cans, bottles, and paper.
What else can be recycled? Sometimes water can be. For instance, some communities take used water — like from the washing machine and shower — and clean it up so it's safe to use for watering the grass and flowers.
It's true that trash and pollution are problems, but the Earth remains a huge and glorious place that's ready for you to explore. You can start locally by visiting the naturally beautiful spots in your city and state. Go for a hike, visit local nature centers and gardens, climb up mountains, and explore lazy creeks.
Experience the outdoors in all sorts of weather — from a sunny day at the beach or lake to a wintry adventure when it snows. And if you're planning a family vacation, suggest a trip to a national treasure, such as the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park, or Chincoteague Island to roam with the wild ponies.
But before you travel the globe, take a look at your own backyard. Is there a spot where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden? If so, get out there and get your hands dirty. Then you can watch with pride as your tree takes root and your garden plants grow from sprigs to big plants full of ripe, red tomatoes or tiny, succulent blueberries. Who knew being green would taste so good?

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I sampled the pink and purple, which were both great, but I chose the purple (it being my part of my wedding colors). I also opted for the rounded corners and the pearl sheen, both are a must!!! The select people I have shown loved it..."
"When I showed the Bride the Bridal Shower invites she was thrilled! The simplicity and style of the card design set the tone for the shower. The quality of the printing and color selection was great, we chose the light green background with turquoise bridesmade dresses and the colors are a perfect compliment. Best of all was the customer service and help to get the product on our doorstep quickly!"
"Loved how this invitation looked in person - much nicer than online. We chose the pearlized paper finish and it was a great touch. We've ordered several invitations from Paper Divas in the past years and have always been extremely pleased with the quality of the product and service. We will continue to use them for our party and invitation needs."
"No complaints here! Great service- lots of help with the best way to format the card. I spoke to a customer service representative who was very helpful by working with me to facilitate the edits and changes that were needed in a quick and professional manner. I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas without hesitation."
"I absolutely love this design! The pearly shimmery just sets it off. I was able to customize a lot of different aspects of the invitation, so it perfectly complimented my wedding color/theme. Couldn't be happier with the quality & service."

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!

B- A+F Nightlife: Other than the eating clubs, there isn't much on/around campus. And if the eating clubs aren't your scene, well... sucks for you. Pregames are fun, they just get shut down a lot especially around midnight.
A A+F Nightlife: I personally have not been to any of the Eating Clubs and have only been to Blackbox once since I do not drink and do not like to be around alcohol, but I really like that Princeton provides alcohol free activities as a part of the school's alcohol initiative. Such activities include movies and going to the Murray-Dodge cafe for games and free snacks. It also helps that I live in substance-free housing and I am surrounded by other people who choose to abstain from drinking as well.
A+ A+F Nightlife: Free for All! You can party however you want and find people to accompany you! You can rage, chill, sleep, watch movies, go to events, or do whatever. The eating clubs facilitate communal hangouts and dorm parties and chills are quite plentiful. If you join a group with a social aspect--such as a team or a large campus group such as CSA or Orange Key--you'll have a place to go.
A- A+F Nightlife: Everybody Is Studying – Nightlife is there, if you want it. Students at Princeton are very studious and many do not participate. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, nightlife is almost nonexistent. Friday is date night; most of my friends and I usually spend our Fridays study. About 70% of the kids study on Thursday nights, but 30% do party. Finally, nightlife is pretty constricted to Saturday nights on the Street (where the eating clubs are), but a lot of kids avoid it.
B+ A+F Nightlife: All About the Eating Clubs – Eating club scene is great if you're into going out, seeing people that you know, drinking, playing drinking games, and dancing. There are also bars if you're looking for a more sophisticated crowd. Everything's within walking distance, which is nice.One of the things I like best about princeton is that there are always people doing fun things around campus, which doesn't qualify as traditional 'nightlife' perhaps, but makes for lots of fun!

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Kristen McCarthy
Princeton hardly has a dozen of social options available, but between the Street, room parties, the bars of Nassau Street, and convenient transportation to both New York and Philadelphia, options exist. While the average night out at Princeton's clubs and bars tends to be quite average, signature, legendary Princeton "holidays," such as Newman's Day and Dean's Date, which encourage late nights out, more than make up for a somewhat monotonous social scene. Annual special events hosted by the eating clubs, including Houseparties and Winter Formals, provide a nice break from just going out.
For most students, the Street gets old by the end of sophomore year. They have bickered or signed in or gone independent and start looking for more options. Fortunately, by the end of sophomore year, most students are on the brink of 21 and can start going to Princeton's bars, which will keep them entertained for a few more weeks. By junior year, Princeton students begin to immerse themselves in their independent work, so visiting the Street becomes somewhat of a privilege, as the increasingly rigorous academic work does not allow students to spend too much time out and about junior and senior years. Despite the proximity of New York and Philadelphia, public transportation is somewhat inflexible, as the last train on a Saturday night leaves New York Penn Station around 1 a.m., leaving students stranded in Princeton Junction unless they are willing to pay the hefty late night cab fare.
Type: Sign-In. Constantly seeking alternatives to DJs, Quad tends to favor live bands, including Lifehouse, as well as some local bands.
33 Prospect Ave.
(609) 258-0375
Type: Bicker. Ivy has always had the reputation for being the stomping grounds of Princeton's social aristocracy. While it is the only eating club whose members are served dinner on a nightly basis, using tablecloths nonetheless, its events are generally open to all students. Popular events include the annual T.I.-Ivy Olympics.
43 Prospect Ave.
(609) 924-2236
Type: Sign-In. Terrace provides an alternative environment to the other eating clubs. Not only is it the only club not located along Prospect, but it is the only club that permits cigarette smoking in the dining room. The tap room is painted black, and members tend to be a bit more artsy than the average Princeton student.
62 Washington Rd.
(609) 258-1380
Type: Bicker. Tower is home to the majority of the campus politicians and thespians as well as some of the best desserts on the Street. The deck in the backyard allows Tower to throw parties almost every night during Freshman Week before most clubs are open. Members can elect to pay dues based on how much alcohol they consume. Those who claim to be "heavy drinkers" often can be found playing on one of the several Beirut tables in the tap room.
13 Prospect Ave.
(609) 924-0473
Type: Bicker. Tiger Inn, or T.I., is the closest thing Princeton has to Animal House. Drawing from some of the more notoriously rowdy athletic teams, such as the men's lacrosse and wrestling teams, and Greek organizations, T.I. is the best place for late night partying. Many legends surround the T.I. cuisine, usually noting how members chose to eat hot dogs for a month rather than to go without Beast for the last month of school.
48 Prospect Ave.
(609) 924-0255
Type: Sign-In. Charter used to be home to the majority of the University's engineers because of its proximity to the E-Quad, but its weekly pub nights and quality food have enabled the membership to expand. Charter members favor live bands to weekly DJs, and recent acts have included American Hi-Fi.
79 Prospect Ave.
(609) 924-2433
Type: Bicker. Cap & Gown Club (Cap) is generally the club athletes join-especially the track and field, softball, football, and field hockey teams-but it is starting to diversify to include more campus groups. Cap easily has the best salad bar on the Street (Prospect Avenue). Noted alumni include Dean Cain '88 and Brooke Shields '87.
61 Prospect Ave.
(609) 921-9795
Type: Sign-In. Also known as the "boaters and floaters" club, Cloister's hot tub and healthy cuisine draws students primarily from the crew and swim teams. Popular events include "Boaters vs. Floaters" races and competitions. Aside from the notorious Cloister hot tub, the outgoing officers brought in a mechanical bull to celebrate sign-ins week.
65 Prospect Ave.
Type: Bicker. Modeled as a combination of a country cottage and an urban clubhouse, Cottage has tried in recent years to receive historic site status because of its role in the literature of former member F. Scott Fitzgerald '17, who wrote sections of This Side of Paradise in Cottage's library, as well as its famous alumni, including former Senator Bill Bradley '65. Cottage's membership is primarily composed of student athletes as members of the Greek community.
51 Prospect Ave.
(609) 921-6137
Type: Sign-In. After almost folding in 2000, Colonial Club was taken over by members of the Class of 2002 and has enjoyed a soaring membership in the past few years. Bragging weekly pub nights with homemade pizza and quesadillas, Colonial provides a combination of members-only events, such as an annual wine tasting, as well as open events, including a bevy of opportunities to see DJ Bob.
40 Prospect Ave.
Winberie's is popular with local thirty-somethings at happy hour, but the bar is not a regular hang out for University undergrads. The bar is only a small component of Winberie's, which means that it gets crowded easily.
1 Palmer Sq.E.
(609) 921-0700
While the beer and cocktails may be more expensive than what other bars in town have to offer, the atmosphere at Triumph is worth the cost. Whereas Winberie's is popular for young professionals in their 30s, local twenty-somethings flock to Triumph. The beer is made on-site, and the food is fantastic.
138 Nassau St.
(609) 924-7855
Most students will not go to the Yankee Doodle Tap Room during their undergraduate career, as it is mostly Nassau Inn patrons who go there. The cocktails are relatively expensive for a student budget, and it has the definite feel of a hotel bar.
10 Palmer Sq. E.
(609) 921-7500
Because of its proximity to Firestone Library, the Annex is popular with both students and faculty. The food and drinks are affordable, and the happy hour specials are difficult to pass. The Annex also hosts pub nights for the senior class each year.
128 1/2 Nassau St.
(609) 921-7555
D-Bar, in the basement of Pyne Tower, is a student-run, members-only bar for Graduate College students. One of the only non-profit bars in the country, the D-bar offers cheap drinks (everything is sold at cost), live music, DJs, and karaoke.
Pyne Hall
On campus
The Ivy Inn, not to be confused with the Ivy Club, is conveniently adjacent to Hoagie Haven. Featuring nightly specials, the Ivy Inn does not even pretend to have any class, and it is a good place to go as an alternative to the Street.
248 Nassau St.
(609) 921-8555
Even if you are under 21, you can sometimes gain admission to Princeton's eating clubs, but they sometimes check IDs before serving alcohol. Princeton itself provides Blackbox Inc., a nightclub in the basement of Wilson college for students only. They throw theme parties and have live music, but serve only non-alcoholic drinks.

Heat and matter? Whats that? HEAT is the flow of energy from warmer MATTER to cooler MATTER. MATTER is anything that takes up space. Heat is all around us. Even in winter. EXAMPLE- you go outside and play in the snow and come in after a long time playing. How do your hands feel? They feel warm because your hand particles are warming up in your body. MATTER is all around you to. EXAMPLE your body is matter, your school desk is matter, EVERYTHING is mater. The one thing i like about this chapter is the labs we did in class. The one thing i hate is that we don't have more time in science class. Heat and Matter was interesting to learn about. I learned about contraction which is to get smaller and expansion which is to get bigger. I also learned about Three ways to cook popcorn by radiation condition and convection.

This problem is based on Ruby Quiz #19 (http://rubyquiz.com/quiz19.html). The kata takes about 20 minutes with practice and 2 hours in a dojo setting.
Problem Description
The game of yahtzee is a simple dice game. Each round, each player rolls five six sided dice. The player may choose to reroll some or all of the dice up to three times (including the original roll). The player then places the roll at a category, such as ones, twos, sixes, pair, two pairs etc. If the roll is compatible with the score, the player gets a score for this roll according to the rules. If the roll is not compatible, the player gets a score of zero for this roll.
The kata consists of creating the rules to score a roll in any of a predefined category. Given a roll and a category, the final solution should output the score for this roll placed in this category.
Yahtzee rules description and suggested test cases
The following categories exists:
The practitioner can feel free to create new categories as well.

When they had this -- running a fireman that would start a fire because -- -- -- -- -- out and the fire got away from Los and that's why we had these murders.
-- the Justice Department says that in your report reiterates what they've been saying that the origins of this hearing ATF there in Arizona and these five individuals have been dealt with because they've been reassigned.
Is that enough would you but what would you like to see come.
Well you know you know there's people higher than these people that are involved -- -- it's pretty hard for us there.
Guarantee that statement.
But here so what they reassign people so they don't have to talk to those of missing congressman respond to our subpoenas and all that sort of stuff.
But -- here's a fact.
What I want to see if your question.
I wanna see the people that were responsible over this.
To have to be fired because of heads don't roll -- and nothing changes.
So let's go to that a little bit about how he defines success in this investigation and how you know when you're done with -- that you've included.
All the things that need to be explored.
Is it simply and I mean simply but is -- the resignation of these five ATF officials with -- -- it is it a resignation of Eric Holder.
What exactly define success for you when you are going through this investigation expand our ready over a year and a half.
Three things one -- is what the highest level of the Justice Department approve this because you.
There are these these people -- -- -- owner are somewhat scapegoats.
Number two.
We we gotta get all the information -- the Brian Carey family about his murder and they don't have any information at.
And three we got to make sure stupid program like this never happens in the future.
Senator Grassley we look for to have me back when we get those other two reports we expect in the next several weeks.
Thank you for the time again today sir.

Battery expert Dan Doughty also said batteries almost never self-combust.
"You can never say never. But it is almost impossible to have a thermal runaway that would cause the combustion that you're talking about," he said.
Lithium-ion battery failures during use "are very rare," said Doughty. "The statistics that we have are on computer batteries. And the cells that go into computer batteries have a failure rate of one in 10 million or even one in 40 million cells. So it's quite rare," he said.
However, the fire incidents aboard the two Dreamliners very early in the plane's life has raised concern among safety experts.
Boeing has said its technical experts are working "around the clock" and are focused on "resolving the issue" and returning the 787 to service.
