With the season's end nearly upon us, we at Forza Futbol will start a new summer series reviewing the silly season aka transfer window comings and goings. We will try and focus on the official and nearly there transfers and stay away from the rumor mill in this column.
The Silly Season officially opens July 1st, but there has been a little bit of 'official' business thus far in La Liga.
Looking at the big picture, I don't expect a lot of activity or money spent during the summer, aside from the big two behemoths, (Real Madrid and FC Barcelona for the novice), because most clubs are broke. That said, there will be a lot of wheeling and dealing, aka loans, player swaps, and third party ownership influenced deals, as well as promotion of a few players from the B squads and Segunda ranks.
'I want Champions League'
Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Llorente leaves on a free to Juventus. This transfer dragged on and on last summer as well as the earlier part of this season. Athletic wanted money for Llorente, while the player just wanted to get out of dodge. The tall striker was benched for nearly the entire first half of the season and only started games after the transfer with Juventus was made official. It's hard to leave Athletic, so very hard, just ask Javi Martinez.
Juventus gets a prolific 6 ft 5', 28 year old striker, at his prime that is skillful with his feet, excellent in the air and can defend as well. Llorente gets Champions League football with one of the top teams in Serie A. Juve is a team on the up. It is well run, financially sound, and always in the running for the scudetto and Europe. The question remains how easily can Llorente adapt to the physicality and technical style of Serie A? Several naysayers believe that it will be a difficult transition because Athletic's style has always been built around Llorente. I say just give the man a little time, 3 – 6 months and he will be fine.
An opportunity to shine at the top
29 year old winger, Manu Lanzarote moves from Second division Sabadell to RCD Espanyol on a free. This is a more common type of La Liga transfer. Manu Lanzarote has had a solid season in Segunda with Sabadell. Local big boys Espanyol were so impressed that they have made him their first signing of the 2013-2014 season.
Lanzarote is a product of La Masia, played several games with Barca C, promoted up to the B team, but couldn't make the cut at Barca B and never played with the top dogs. He has been a journeyman in the lower divisions in Spain and now has received a chance to shine in the top flight.
What a steal!
18 year old Uruguayan defender Jose Maria Gimenez goes to Atletico Madrid for 1M Euros. The U20 International comes from Danubio and is said to be a diamond in the rough. The player passed a medical in Madrid and has signed with Atleti for 5 years. Jose Luis Perez Caminero, Sports Director of Atletico, described Gimenez as "a natural talent and a quick defender with a good shot and ball handling skills". Gimenez is excited to play for Diego Simeone and says his style is to "go for every ball as if it's his last." The youngster just broke into the first team as a professional player this past season and has only played 10 games with Danubio. He is 6"1 tall. The kid looks to have plenty of potential, but he is extremely green and young Most likely he will start off with Atletico B team and then progress to the top flight team, should he make the grade.

Murray Sunset National Park
Murray Sunset National Park is Victoria's second largest national park and contains four designated wilderness zones. Discover the park's vast open spaces, isolation, abundant wildlife and colourful spring wildflowers. Plan a longer stay to experience the breathtaking sunsets and starry nights.
The park is one of the few remaining semi-arid regions in the world where the environment is relatively untouched and is home to Victoria's largest flower, the Murray Lily, and Australia's rarest bird, the Black-Eared Miner. Explore diverse habitats, including billabongs and floodplains near the Murray River, grasslands, native pine woodlands, Mallee covered dunes and saltbush flats.
Several Aboriginal communities have lived in the region for thousands of years, leaving shell middens, scar trees, oven mounds and burial grounds that testify to a rich and varied lifestyle. Salt was commercially harvested between 1916 and 1975 from the Pink Lakes. The area was declared a National Park in 1991.
Natural attractions
The Pink Lakes
In spring, four of the park's lakes - Becking, Crosbie, Kenyon and Hardy - turn a vivid pink. This occurs when a red pigment called carotene is secreted from algae in the water. The colour is at its most vibrant early or late in the day or when the sky is cloudy. In summer water evaporates leaving concentrated salt crusts over black mud. The lakes can be accessed by 2WD vehicles via a gravel road from Linga on the Mallee Highway.
Lindsay Island
Located on the riverine plain of the Murray River in the far north-west corner of the state, Lindsay Island is intersected by numerous small creeks carrying floodwaters from the Murray River into swamps, billabongs and floodplains. It is bounded by the Lindsay River anabranch and is home to a significant array of plants and animals and has a long history of human occupation. Access to the river is good although in parts the terrain is almost untouched. Fishing for golden perch, Murray cod and yabbies is good. Boating and swimming are other activities.
There are more than 70 significant plant species including Victoria's largest flower, the Murray Lily, the restricted Silvery Emu-Bush and the Blue-Leafed Mallee. Grasslands, Saltbush, Buloke, Porcupine Grass and Mallee Eucalypts dominate the flat, expansive landscape with pockets of native Cypress-Pine and Belah woodlands scattered throughout. On Lindsay Island, River Red Gums line the creeks and Black Box woodlands surround the floodplain.
Murray Sunset National Park is one of the few regions in Victoria where red kangaroos can be seen in large numbers. The park is home to a number of threatened species, including the Paucident Planigale, a small carnivorous marsupial, the slender yellow and green Regent Parrot and the Millewa Skink. Birdlife includes Mallee Fowl, Pink Cockatoos and White-Browed Tree Creepers. On a warm afternoon Bearded and Mallee Dragons may also be seen.
Walk - explore on foot
There are many excellent walking tracks in the Pink Lakes area, but walkers should seek advice from rangers before starting longer walks. Avoid high temperatures and hot conditions and plan your visit for late autumn-spring (April-November).
The Pink Lakes Walk is a 2.5-kilometre track (1.5 hours return) that is suitable for all fitness levels. It starts and finishes in the Pink Lakes Picnic Area.
Explore by car
All of the tracks within the park are four-wheel drive. Two-wheel drive vehicles can use the Pink Lakes track from Linga. Access into any other areas in a 2WD vehicle should first be checked with local rangers.
All tracks are subject to seasonal conditions. It is important to check current road conditions with park staff before visiting - tracks become impassable in wet weather, whilst others are suitable for four wheel drive vehicles only. All tracks on Lindsay Island are dry weather only. Vehicles are prohibited in 'wilderness' zones and 'remote' and 'natural' areas.
Camping and facilities
Camping is permitted at Pink Lakes on the southern shore of Lake Crosbie, the largest of the four lakes. The site has toilets, picnic tables, fireplaces and water. Other basic camping grounds are at Mopoke Hut, Mount Crozier and Rocket Lake. There are also a number of remote campsites with facilities.
The Shearer's Quarters offers hostel-style accommodation with cooking facilities, bunks and a hot shower. Book at the Werrimull Office or ph: 13 19 63. Supplies are available from Mildura, Werrimull, Lake Cullulleraine and Murrayville.
Summer temperatures are very high and it is necessary to carry adequate water. A compass and topographic map are essential for travelling in isolated areas. For users of remote campgrounds it is recommended that visitors carry a gas or fuel stove or BYO firewood, and adequate drinking water.
How to Get There
The park can be approached from Murrayville and Ouyen in the south and Red Cliffs, Mildura and Renmark in the north.

After 6 weeks off to enjoy Mirka & The Mangoes, Roger Federer is ready for a return to action.
The Swiss maestro is the top seed in Basel and will be chasing his fourth title at home this week. He made sure to send FedFans a video message via his Facebook page (above) before the start of the tourney.
Rog also attended an FC Basel football match, his fave team of course, looking all kinds of stylish. Nice looks.
The 15-time Grand Slammer also became global ambassador for Swiss premium chocolate maker Lindt & Sprungli. Ok, as a chocoholic with a serious addiction I'm officially jealous.

I wonder if he enjoyed their babies, too? ;)
I only eat vegan dark chocolate, but I LURVS it!
ROFL I just realized it could've been taken that way too - still in weekend mode I suppose - though I prob would've said melons when referencing Mirka's mammies.ReplyDelete
Either way, I'm sure Fed enjoyed 'em.

Physicians and other members of the health care team encounter many
problems in trying to make medical care safe. Two reports by the Institute
of Medicine (IOM) claim that the medical profession is not organized to deliver
high-quality care.1,2 While we
do not dispute the conclusions in these reports, we believe the reports may
underestimate the magnitude of the problem as well as the character. Also,
if not carefully considered, the report may lead to taking aim at isolated
injuries rather than error. In doing this, the perception may be that medical
care is being fixed; instead, the stage is being set for worse errors to come.3 The following case report highlights this issue.

Golfers have gathered from around the world to play the sport in the hallowed green fields of Augusta, Georgia. There's a rich, storied history that goes along with the hallowed game of golf—and I could give a shit less about it.
What I do love are golf movies. Just the same way I can't stand the sport of baseball yet still take great pleasure from films like Bull Durham and Major League. So if something uber-cool were to happen like the characters* from golf movies playing a round at Augusta, this is what the leader board would look like at the end of regulation play.
*I know that some of these movie characters are based on real-life people. Movies are better than real life, so don't bust my dimpled balls over it.
-1 Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy
Tin Cup, 1996. Kevin Costner knows his way around a film or two. He locked horns with Al Capone, The Sheriff of Nottingham, and a haunted cornfield (why didn't they call the Ghostbusters?). Costner will even be playing Superman's dad in the next version of the Man of Steel due out next year. And that's why he finished with a great run after a week's play. Sure he didn't place better, but that's Costner's style—always great, but never the greatest.
-3 Francis Ouimet
The Greatest Game Ever Played, 2005. Shia Lebouf spent his career trying to be Harrison Ford. Or Brad Pitt. But there's one role he was born to play: a young Jeff Goldblum. Lebouf and Goldblum need to revisit Isla Nublar and run from some dinosaurs. It's for that reason alone he earns a finishing place in this round.
-4 Happy Gilmore
Happy Gilmore, 1996. Adam Sandler brought a unique charm to the screwball comedy about a failed hockey player turned reluctant golfer. Sandler's week at Augusta started strong, but stunk in the final rounds. Kind of like his movie career. I know that while peeing next to him at the urinals Sandler could whip out his huge bank account and humble me. But like the Kurgan said in church while quoting the holy scripture of the Gospel of Def Leppard, "It's better to burn out than to fade away…"
-5 Bagger Vance
The Legend of Bagger Vance, 2000. You know what Tiger Woods and Wil Smith both have in common? They're both fun to watch. And you are a racist. Tiger hasn't been doing well, but he's a fighter. Wil Smith fought mutants, aliens, robots, and homelessness. Heck, he even fought out on the 'Philly playgrounds. That's why he comes in a smooth second, and he gets the Gatorade endorsement, too. His charisma makes you feel okay to see a tall black man swat a tiny white ball with a club. Take that, hockey!
-7 Danny Noonan
Caddyshack, 1980. Coming in at seven under par, Danny Noonan wins the Masters at Augusta with or without the use of explosives. Not only does he resemble Rory Mcilroy, but Noonan and Mcilroy both bag some hot women. And like Caddyshack, once again it's the underdog who comes out on top. So take that, you snobby old white guys who are on the board of Augusta. As Al Czervik would say, "Let's all get laid" or if you only saw the edited version, "Let's all take a shower."
So there's the 2012 Augusta movie character leader board. An overall impressive performance, and not once did anyone have to sit through a dick pill commercial.

That's the second one I've seen them do. I guess 'cross riding is the new fixie freestyling. Damn. Though I'm clearly a part of the trend since I just started this year. Oh well.
I really don't understand cross cycling myself. They just seem like hybrids with drops and I really can't stand hybrids since they're slower than road bikes and not as tough as mountain bikes. But oh well, the races look like more fun than mountain biking or road races so I can dig it.
97% of the bike riding in this world is slower than a race bike and over terrain that doesn't require a mountain bike. Following your logic the only cars would be Humvees and Ferraris.
And yes, the races are a hell of a lot more fun than either road or MTB.
My Ridley, with road tires, is faster than any of the road racers I have owner, I'll be riding a full road race season on it next year, then a full cross season. No reason to have 2 bikes when one will do it all.
Road bikes are, in fact, hybrids. They are slower than pursuit bikes and not as tough as cross bikes, and are designed to work over a variety of terrain.

Some of the tiniest critters inside the harsh, otherwordly vents at the bottom of sea are unlike almost anything on Earth. They don't need oxygen to thrive — they can use rocket fuel.

Digital Harpsichord
A.In the development of the C-30 keyboard and sound source, Roland's engineers gave the highest priority to improving the way that touch affects sound and musical expression. In particular, by implementing the points described below, you can both subtly change the sound depending on touch and let your playing sparkle with articulation and nuance.
How hard you press the keys subtly affects the resulting sound. A heavy touch produces a thick, strong sound, while a lighter touch brings out brightness and beauty in the tone. Forceful pressure on a key also changes the wooden-box sound of the jack rail being struck by the jack, which holds the plectrum. The mechanics of pressing a piano key and pressing a harpsichord are different, and the difference in touch is reflected in the way the sound is produced. When playing multiple choirs of strings with the harpsichord, the timing of the plucking of each string is slightly offset (staggered) to prevent the need for extremely heavy pressure.
This staggering is reproduced, so that pressing the keys in subtly different ways allows delicately nuanced changes in the way sounds are produced. The slight lag that occurs after the jack is raised is also reproduced. This enables a more cohesive sound during trill and legato playing. When the key is released, a distinctive noise is made when the plectrum scrapes the string on its return. You can immediately release the key or, before release, you can pause and wait for the string to stop vibrating. This decision affects the character of the noise that is produced. Paying attention to even key release timing raises expression to whole new level.
All these fine details of the harpsichord's action are important features that have been realized to enable you to play with authentic technique and expressive articulation. The C-30 is a particularly effective means of developing a subtle and accurate feel for the way the harpsichord is played.

Koop Discography
The band Koop formed in 1995 when Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson met in a club and began mixing and sampling to create a unique fusion jazz sound that won them a Grammy and a Gold certification more recently. Due to the slow process of sampling and meshing together multiple short samples of music from old records and other sources, Koop requires a long amount of time between albums. Their music is not quick to create.
Sons of Koop
"Sons of Koop" was released in 1997. The debut album for the band was a hit in Sweden. The album featured vocals from Cecilia Stalin, Stephen Simmonds, and others. Of all of the band's albums, this is the least polished and most gritty.
Waltz for Koop
In 2002, Koop followed up with "Waltz for Koop" which established the duo as a worldwide artist, as it was their first album to hit a US Billboard Music chart. The album peaked at number 17 on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums. Vocalist Cecilia Stalin is featured on the album, to much critical acclaim. A follow-up album of remixes and alternative tracks was released in 2004. "Waltz for Koop" earned a Swedish Grammy award in 2003.
Koop Islands
The band's third album was released in 2007, and has won the duo their most critical acclaim. The featured single on the album, "Koop Island Blues" showcases the vocals of Norwegian singer Ane Brun, who also co-wrote the song. The track was used in more than one video game soundtrack, and a US television commercial, as well as being featured on the US television dance show "So You Think You Can Dance."

What renowned slice of nature serves up grand vistas of thousands of granite monoliths and towers, drawing climbers from around the world? Hint: It's not Yosemite. At southern Idaho's City of Rocks National Reserve [3], rarely crowded hiking paths offer plenty of wonderment to those who like to mix a little legwork with their sightseeing.
The newest in the park's 26-mile network of trails is a self-guided geological tour that visits spike-topped boulders called pickelhauben and gaping stone mouths called tafoni. The gentle South Fork Circle Creek Trail passes wildflowers, piñons, and the central Inner City.
A ranger-led hike takes history buffs to wagon ruts left in the mid-1800s by the 250,000 travelers along the California Trail. Other visitors let their cars do the work on a 24-mile scenic drive that includes Register Rock, where immigrant names written in axle grease 150 years ago still survive.

Merchant Ivory Sues Janus Films Over Movie Distribution
Merchant Ivory Productions Ltd., the maker of films such as "A Room With a View," accused movie distributor Janus Films LLC OF infringing copyrights by distributing films after their licensing deals expired.
Janus, which handles the so-called Criterion Collection, initially was granted rights to 26 Merchant Ivory films in 1999, according to a lawsuit filed today in federal court in Manhattan. The agreements for all of the films except "Howards End" expired by Dec. 31, and Merchant Ivory later learned Janus was still distributing them, according to the complaint.
"Plaintiffs therefore bring this action to protect their copyrights in and to the films being exploited by Janus without plaintiffs' permission," Merchant Ivory said in the complaint filed by attorneys Zeynel Karcioglu and Stephen Nakamura.
"Janus denies any unlawful distribution of any Merchant Ivory title," Jeffrey Ullman, a lawyer for Janus, said in a phone interview. He declined to comment further, saying the company hadn't been served with the suit.
The lawsuit followed Janus's efforts to negotiate a new license agreement, which were complicated by an arbitration proceeding between London-based Merchant Ivory and an entity called ACKMA Recovery LLC and discussions over a proposed deal with HanWay Films, according to the complaint. Either deal required approval from ACKMA, the filing said.
Janus entered a side arrangement with HanWay, which had discussed a possible distribution agreement with Merchant Ivory, the complaint alleged.
The closely held company asked the court to stop Janus from reproducing the films or otherwise using the copyrighted materials and seeks damages including all profit related to the alleged infringement.
The case is Merchant Ivory Productions Ltd. v. Janus Films LLC, 1:12-cv-06325, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Furry Legends Coming To Nintendo's WiiWare July 19th
By William Usher 6 years ago comments
Gamelion is on a minor promotion spree for their upcoming North American launch of the 3D platform game for the Wii's WiiWare platform, Furry Legends. The company set a release date in stone (or as close to it as its going to get in the gaming industry) of July 19th and theyre also running a contest where gamers can win up to 100,000 Wii Points.
I honestly wouldnt know what to do with 100,000 Wii Points considering that I dont think the system has enough good games worth that many points. Nevertheless, die-hard, core-Nintendo fans will probably be interested in entering the contest and you can do so by visiting the Official Gamelion Facebook Page.
Furry Legends will be available starting July 19th for 1000 Wii Points. You can check out the official trailer for the game below or visit the Official Website to learn a little more about this title.

As HipHopDX reported yesterday, Sway was set to explain the story behind the TV he received from Kanye West on Rap Fix. West had been upset with his placement on MTV's list of "Hottest MCs in the Game" and in one rant, he talked about giving Sway his first television set. Sway took that same television set and hosted his show Rap Fix, with the television sitting beside him.
"Please welcome my first TV, given to me by Kanye West," he said at the top of his show, pointing to the television set. "We go so far back together."
"This is my first TV. We met in 2001," he continued. "Back in 2001, me and Kanye West would hang out from time to time... Kanye is one of the most talented visionaries we have in this business. So, him inviting me to see his house? Of course I did it."
He then explained how the TV went from being Kanye's to being his.
"When I opened the bathroom door, which was probably the size of a closet, the first thing I saw was this hunk of a TV sitting in Kanye West's sink. I thought it was abstract art," he added. "I asked 'Ye, 'Yo, what's up with that TV in your sink?' He responded, 'Yo dog, it's 36 inches. This TV is too small to put in my living room. It's embarrassing. So I hide it in my sink because the TV is embarrassing.' Being from Oakland, I asked Kanye, 'What are you going to do with the TV? You going to throw it away?' He said, 'Yep.' I said, 'No you not, homie. You grab one end of the TV. I'ma grab the other.' We took the TV to my car."
He then added that Kanye West still owes him a remote.
The opening of the show can be seen below, via Rap Fix.

December is not here yet but already the magic of Christmas wins Paris. The traditional festive illuminations season began after Galleries Lafayette and Louis Vuitton Spring has unveiled its windows designed by Christian Dior ambassador with a sublime, Marion Cotillard.
Dressed by the famous fashion house which she is the face, the French star was a modern elegance in a black coat with charm surrounded by a large metal buckle waist high range. Sublimating her curves, the room offered a seductive neckline and discreet glamor and sculpted her silhouette with two pockets at the hips, providing a peplum effect. To complete her look, satin stilettos with pointed ends, hot red nail and a retro bun & it was just amazing.

Strawberry Creams with Raspberry
Strawberry Cream:
Place the thawed strawberries, sugar, and buttermilk in your food processor and
process until very smooth. (Taste and add more sugar, if necessary.) Transfer this mixture to a medium
sized saucepan and
bring just to a boil, stirring constantly.
Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin
over 1/2 cup (120 ml) of cold water. Let this mixture sit for 5 - 10
minutes. Then stir the softened gelatin into the heated strawberry cream
and continue stirring until the gelatin particles have completely dissolved.
Let the cream cool slightly and then pour into 6 - 8 wine glasses, custard cups,
or ramekins. (Make sure to leave enough space in each glass for about 1/4
cup (60 ml) of raspberry jelly.) Place in the refrigerator and chill until the
cream has set,
between 2 to 4 hours. Then make the raspberry jelly.
Raspberry Jelly:
Place the frozen raspberries and sugar in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of
simmering water. Cover the bowl with a piece of aluminum foil and heat the
berries, stirring occasionally, for about 30 - 40 minutes, or until the berries
are soft and have released their juices. Then, remove the berries from the heat
and press them through a fine meshed strainer suspended over a large measuring
cup. All
that should be left in the strainer is raspberry seeds. You will need 1 1/4
cups (300 ml) of raspberry juice so add water, if necessary.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl soften the gelatin
in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of cold water. Let this mixture sit for 5 - 10 minutes.
Meanwhile heat the raspberry juice until hot, stirring constantly. Stir
the softened gelatin into the heated raspberry juice until the gelatin particles
have completely dissolved. Return the mixture to the heat, if necessary.
Let the raspberry jelly cool slightly and then pour over the chilled strawberry
cream. Refrigerate for about 2 - 4
hours or until set. Serve with a dollop of softly whipped cream.
Makes 6 - 8 individual servings.
Strawberry Cream:
21 ounces
(600 grams) frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed
1/3 - 1/2
cup (65 - 100 grams) granulated white sugar
1 1/3 cups
(320 ml) buttermilk
2 packages
(1/2 ounce) (14 grams) unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup
(120 ml) cold water
Raspberry Jelly:
1 - 12 ounce (340 grams)
bag of frozen, unsweetened raspberries
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (80 grams)
granulated white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored
powdered gelatin
1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water

W-B council may throw out towing ordinance
WILKES-BARRE — A four-year-old, unused towing law could be off the books soon.
Council will vote whether to throw out a 2010 towing ordinance at its Thursday meeting.
The law establishes rates that private and city-contracted towing companies can charge to owners of vehicles towed in Wilkes-Barre, but it was never enforced.
The 2010 ordinance nevertheless remains an official law of the city, said city Clerk Jim Ryan.
City-contracted towing is now governed by a temporary contract with Falzone Towing, which the city hired after suspending LAG Towing on May 31, 2013, following the theft conviction of owner Leo Glodzik.
Private contractors charge their own rates, Municipal Affairs Manager Drew McLaughlin said.
Should council toss the law, it would change "absolutely nothing" about towing in the city, he said.
Council will also vote on more building demolition. The properties at 31-33-35 N. Welles St. are on the chopping block. A $24,428 payment from the Office of Economic and Community Development budget would pay for the demolitions.
Also on Thursday's agenda is the sale of 269-271 E. Northampton St., an unimproved lot, to neighboring property owners for $10,000, and approval of a street paving project.
The council meeting is at 6 p.m. Thursday in city council chambers on the fourth floor of City Hall.

text: I got into bicycling as a result of going car-free. I did the financial math, and realized that owning and driving a car in urban areas was just stupid. In addition, I'm very, very concerned about the environment, or what little is left of it, and decided that I needed to put my money where my mouth is. I tried busing and walking for a few weeks, and, then, frustrated about a late bus, wandered into a used bike shop and bought an old MTB for $75, which I soon modified for city use. It was an instant epiphany. I'm now at least as mobile as I was when I had a car, I never have to worry about parking or traffic, and, in every way imaginable, I'm way happier. And I have a bit more money, too. I'm now convinced that anyone who tries cycling around town will find it to be vastly superior to any other form of transport, at least at distances <10 miles, which, for most people, is a significant portion of their trips.

FINA World Championships editorial coverage is proudly sponsored by SpeedoUSA. For all the latest coverage, check out our event coverage page.
BARCELONA, Spain, August 2. THE four Americans swimming in the preliminaries of the men's 800 freestyle relay this morning probably feel a little more comfortable this morning than their female teammates did yesterday in the same event.
While the four American women had to fight for only one spot in last night's final, the men have two spots available to them. Conor Dwyer and Ryan Lochte will sit out the heats of this events. Matt McLean, Michael Klueh, Charlie Houchin and Ricky Berens are swimming this morning, competing for the chance to fill the other two relay spots in tonight's final.
This will mark Houchin's and Klueh's racing debuts at the 2013 world championships, and Kleuh's long course worlds debut. Houchin swam the 400 freestyle at the 2011 edition, placing 14th overall. Klueh has experience on this relay, winning gold with McLean, Dwyer and Lochte on the 800 free relay at last December's short course world championships.
McLean swam in the 400 freestyle on Sunday, placing 13th overall. Berens was in the prelims of the 400 free relay on Sunday, splitting 47.56 on the third leg.
France, expected to challenge the United States for gold tonight, is not taking any chances in the heats. They are putting Yannick Agnel, the 200 free champion, on the leadoff leg this morning, and including Jeremy Stravius, the man who anchored the French to gold in the 400 free relay, in the morning swim. Lorys Bourelly and Gregory Mallet will join them in the heats. Mallet participated in the Olympic final of this event with Agnel and Stravius, winning silver behind the Americans.
Australia and China, the two teams that could fight for bronze, are leaving off their top stars in the heats. Thomas Fraser-Holmes and Cameron McEvoy will likely swim for Australia tonight, while Sun Yang will give the Chinese a big boost in tonight's final.

Angelina Jolie and her enormous engagement ring made their first public appearance since her and Brad Pitt's engagement announcement in April. The actress took a break from filming Maleficent in London and arrived in Bosnia on Saturday with three of her children in tow. However, the actress attended the Sarajevo Film Fest alone on July 7th in support of her new film In the Land of Blood and Honey, which she wrote and directed.
The film is described as a dark Bosnian War romance, and E! reports Jolie describing her directorial debut was "the hardest thing I have ever done because of my deep respect for the people that really experienced it. The experience here was so unique for me that I felt very connected to the people."
At the event Jolie spoke with young actors, writers, directors and critics about her work on screen and off screen. One attendee spoke to Us about the actress, and admitted to being "impressed" by the star's humanitarian work and her passion to "give something back to underpriviledged people."
Jolie was also officially named an Honorary Citizen of Sarajevo by the Prime Minister of the Sarajevo Canton, Mr. Fikret Musić. Upon receiving the honor, she spoke of her deep connection to the country: "The time I spent and the people I met in Bosnia have changed me forever. I can't tell you how much it means to me to be named an honorary citizen of Sarajevo, a city so dear to my heart."

I wasn't sure where to post this question, so I'll start here.
I've been imagining a perfect city bike/grocery getter, but I'm not sure how to realize this bike. Maybe it exists already?
I'm looking for a bike with relaxed angles, upright riding position, probably a sprung saddle, north road bars (or similar), internally geared hub ~7-8 gears, front dynamo hub with drum brake, and if I get really crazy I'd go for a belt drive.
Any thoughts? Build my own? Is there a bike like this out there? The Civilian Corduroy Rebel is pretty close. Disc brakes aren't much for me, but I could probably handle that. It doesn't have the swept back bars. Anyone know if putting on north bars and a sprung saddle would work on a bike like that? I'd be changing the riding position quite a bit, and I'm not sure if that would be comfortable?
Here is one:
Civilian Corduroy Rebel - 2013
Fenders probably, front and rear racks.

Time to be a little fanatical - every year I dream of a 9-10 win season. This year the "sports gods" are shining on the underdog! Stuck in Nebraska and their delusional fans, I decided to have some fun with them and wrote this for my newspaper column.
For the sports fan, 2008 has been the year of the underdog or the Cinderella. And for the mystic in me, the year continues on with another occurrence.
Think about the events that have taken place this year, starting with the Super Bowl. The New York Giants beat up on undefeated powerhouse New England.
Basketball? No major surprise with the Celtics winning, but it wasnt without some scary moments, including barely getting past Atlanta in the opening round of the playoffs.
The next biggie was the Fresno St. Bulldogs winning the College World Series. Now what? Its been a 100 years for the Cubs! Now that would prove the stars, planets, and the universe are perfect in alignment for miracles. Besides the Cubs, the team with the best record in the American League is perennial doormat Tampa Bay.
But Im thinking of something else. Yup, college football starts tomorrow. Is this the year for Iowa State? Nicknamed the Cyclones, this year has been the year of violent weather across the Midwest.
In fact, every state that belongs in the Big 12 has had unusually active year weather wise. But the power of the tornado was never so prevalent when the Iowa State Cyclones made their first ever tailgate tour into Nebraska.
That night they were to visit Omaha, but the Cyclone gods delivered a stronger message. Across Nebraska that day and night 17 tornadoes touched down across the state.
For the Cyclones its a new start! A new year! A favorable schedule
another miracle? A few years ago Wake Forest rose from the ashes, and then it was time for Rutgers to shine; now its time for the Cyclones! GO STATE!!!
One other possibility? The nation could have its first African-American President, so why not have the first champion whose stadium is named (the only one in FBS) for an African-American Jack Trice.
Oh its great to be an Iowa State fanatic!!!
Mmm, thanks for the kool-aid. I'll be glad if we make it to a bowl, but as I've told other people... my freshman year at Iowa State, the football team was coming off of a disastrous 2-10 season. As soon as ISU beat Baylor for their 3rd win of the season, I told anyone that would listen how it was still possible for ISU to win the Big 12 North. Granted, that never materialized, but the bowl win capped off a season that many thought would never happen in 2004.
I'm not expecting much, but I sure as hell hope the guys in the locker room have different ideas.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
I can only hope, at least about the Cyclones.

NLBM Event: 1977 Royals-Yankees

FanFest Begins to Take Shape
Meetings for the Royals FanFest are now a weekly thing as we nail down the details for the Jan. 19, all-day event at the Overland Park Convention Center. The "fan extravaganza" is less than three months away and – like a lot things around Kauffman Stadium lately (i.e. a new manager, new coaches, new scoreboard, big construction craziness, etc…) – the excitement is building.
In addition to what we have already announced on royals.com/fanfest, we also know:
- The event will include BOTH live and silent auctions to benefit Royals Charities.
- Ticket information will be available soon.
- All ticket proceeds will benefit Royals Charities.

Bringing Down the Crown
In Monday's press conference, Manager Trey Hillman did say he and General Manager Dayton Moore were "very close" when it came to choosing the coaching staff…
Just released from Media Relations:
The Kansas City Royals today announced their coaching staff for the 2008 season. Manager Trey Hillman will be joined by returning coaches Mike Barnett (Hitting Coach), Bob McClure (Pitching Coach) and Luis Silverio (Third Base Coach), while Dave Owen (Bench Coach), Rusty Kuntz (First Base Coach) and John Mizerock (Bullpen Coach) are new for 2008.
Barnett, 48, returns for his third season as the Royals hitting coach. He previously served as the hitting coach for the Toronto Blue Jays from 2002-2005. McClure, 54, enters his third season as the Royals pitching coach. His 2007 pitching staff finished seventh in the American League in ERA after finishing 14th in 2006. Silverio, 51, enters his 33rd year in the Royals organization and his sixth as a coach with the Major League club. He returns to third base in 2008 after coaching at first in 2007. Silverio coached first base from 2003-2004 and third base from 2005-2006.
Owen, 49, joins the Royals after spending this past summer on the bench next to Trey Hillman with the Nippon Ham Fighters. Prior to that, Owen served in the Philadelphia organization, most recently as the Phils' Minor League Infield Coordinator. He joined the Phillies in 2000 as a scout after serving in the same capacity with the Tigers and White Sox. Owen played for the Chicago Cubs from 1983-1985 and had a brief stint with the Royals in 1988.
Kuntz, 52, who will also work with outfielders and baserunners, joins the Royals after spending the last five seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Kuntz worked with the Major League club and the Triple-A affiliate in Indianapolis in 2006-2007. He was the first base coach for the Pirates from 2003-2005. He has been a first base coach for the Florida Marlins (1995-1996 and 1999-2000) and the Seattle Mariners (1989-1992). Kuntz, drafted by the White Sox in 1977, played in the Major Leagues for Chicago (1979-83), Minnesota (1983), and Detroit (1984-85). He delivered the game-winning RBI in the fifth and deciding game of the 1984 World Series.
Mizerock, 47, enters his 16th season in the Kansas City organization. He returns to the Major League club, where he worked as the bullpen coach and interim manager in 2002 and as the third base coach in 2003-2004. Mizerock led the Class-A Wilmington Blue Rocks to the Carolina League playoffs in 2007 and earned Manager of the Year honors from Baseball America in 1999 for his work with the Wichita Wranglers.
Royals Introduce Trey Hillman
Using his words, Trey Hillman is "hungry."
No, he wasn't referencing a desire for some Kansas City BBQ…yet…but rather the deep hunger he has for winning. And, for all of us with the Royals, we couldn't have heard anything more direct and perfect from our new manager.
In a 2 p.m. press conference Monday, General Manager Dayton Moore officially introduced Hillman as the Royals manager. With players Mark Teahen and John Buck standing in support off to the side, Hillman slipped on a Royals jersey and got his first taste of the Kansas City media, which flooded into Kauffman Stadium's interview room.
Prior to fielding questions from the media, Hillman first met one of his new families – the Royals front office – in a brief welcome reception that had the Texas-born manager pledging a slogan we can all get on board with: Total Commitment. It's a pretty simple message from a guy who considers himself pretty simple, but effective in delivering success.
The packed press conference lasted just under an hour and Hillman accepted the Royals welcome by addressing everyone in Japanese – a skill he's picked up as manager of the Nippon Ham Fighters for the past five years. He then made it clear that he'll be happy to answer any and all questions in English. And, from there, the ball rolled smoothly for the new skipper.
Hillman – in Kansas City for just three days – heads back to Japan now to manage the Fighters in the Japan Series. The team is going for back-to-back championship titles – something we are all looking forward to doing in Kansas City soon. Welcome (aka: Konichiwa) to The K, Manager Hillman!
Renovations and New Manager
As far as the weather goes, it's a dreary morning at The K. However, with everything going on around here on this gray Monday, we still can't help but be excited.
First: press conference at 2 p.m. today to introduce new Manager Trey Hillman. Hillman is in town for just a short trip before heading back to Japan to manage the Nippon Ham Fighters in the 2007 Japan Series later this week. More on Hillman and the press conference this afternoon.
Now…some big construction took place over the weekend. The biggest, of course, the Crown Scoreboard coming down. This weekend, Royals associate Ben Mertens snapped these great shots of the dismantling.
And, remember that spiral ramp you use to walk up…well, here's what it looks like now:
Royals Hire Hillman
From the Royals Media Relations Department:
Kansas City, MO (October 19, 2007) – The Kansas City Royals today announced they have reached an agreement on a multi-year contract with Trey Hillman as manager. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Hillman, 44, is currently managing the Nippon Ham Fighters in Japan's Pacific League and will be introduced to the Kansas City media in a 2 p.m. press conference on Monday in the interview room at Kauffman Stadium.
"I am delighted to announce that we have hired Trey Hillman as our manager," said Dayton Moore, Senior Vice President and General Manager. "He is an exceptional person with a great passion to lead. He is the perfect choice for our organization.
"Trey has spent the last five seasons turning the Nippon Ham Fighters into one of the top success stories in Japanese baseball, including three trips to the post-season," Moore added. "In fact, the reason we are unable to introduce Trey today is because his club has just advanced to the finals of the Japan Series, where they will resume play on October 27. We also want to respect the fact that the Indians and Red Sox are in a battle for the American League title and we don't want to do anything to detract from the excitement of that series."
Hillman, a native of Arlington, Texas, will be traveling from Japan over the next couple of days, but provided a comment regarding his new role as the manager of the Royals.
"This is a wonderful blessing and a great opportunity to build a winner in Kansas City," said Hillman. "I'll be joining an organization with tradition and pride while working with individuals that share my vision for success."
Hillman attended the University of Texas-Arlington, earning All-Southland Conference honors as a shortstop for three seasons. He was inducted into the UTA Athletic Hall of Honor in 1992. He signed as a free agent with the Indians in 1985 and played in their system for three seasons. After spending the 1987-88 seasons as a scout for Cleveland, Hillman's coaching career took off. His first role was as a coach for a Prince William club that won the Carolina League Championship crown in 1989.
He followed with his first of 11 consecutive years as a manager in the New York Yankees' chain, starting as a 27-year-old skipper and recording a first-place finish with Oneonta (A) in 1990 and running through the 2001 campaign with Columbus (AAA). His three years at Columbus featured a 225-203 record, including an International League best 85-58 mark in 1999 and league Manager of the Year honors in 2000. He also earned the honor in 1996 in the Florida State League, and was voted Baseball America's Class A Manager of the Year.
Hillman then became a very popular figure in Japan, leading the Ham Fighters from a stretch of dismal campaigns to a composite 351-324 mark (.520 winning percentage) over five seasons, going to the post-season on three occasions, including a Japan Series title in 2006. His efforts were rewarded when he was named the 2006 Japan "Sportsman of the Year" by the 2006 Foreign Sportswriters of Japan.
On Thursday night in Japan, Hillman's club defeated Bobby Valentine's Chiba Lotte Marines to take the Pacific League championship and advance to the 2007 Japan Series final that will begin next week.
"We would be remiss if the Kansas City Royals didn't thank the Nippon Ham Fighters for graciously allowing this process to take place during a very exciting and busy time in their season," added Moore. "We wish them the very best as they continue their march to what all of us hope is a second consecutive Japan League title."
Hillman and his wife, Marie, have two children, T.J. and Brianna, and make their home in Arlington.
Thursday Renovation Report
Our chairs and desks are only slightly shaking despite the massive construction taking place at the stadium Thursday. There are several sets of crews working all around Kauffman and most of them have the jack hammers going at full speed. Here's a brief rundown and some photos of what's happening out here. Keeping safety in mind – which we always are doing – we could only get so close to snap our photos.
One of the spiral ramps along the third base side is coming down. There hasn't been a big blast as of lunchtime on Thursday, but it is scheduled to be completely demolished soon. Right now, construction workers are removing the concrete that connects the ramp to the concourse.
Workers have been up on the Crown Scoreboard all day in preparation for its removal. You may be able to see from the picture that the screen is slowly getting dismantled.
They have demolished the left field concession stands and are "jack hammering" through some concrete in the Dugout Plaza level along the first base side.
We should have a photo gallery of the renovation progress on royals.com shortly. Sounds like the web cameras will be installed by the end of the month.
Buck O'Neil Mosaic
We just had this picture of Buck O'Neil created for our website and Community Newsletter. The picture is a mosaic composed of individual photos of the 2007 Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat recipients. We honored a member of the community for each of the Royals 81 home games this year. Learn more about the "Buck Seat" program or about the 2007 recipients here.

LONDON (ShareCast) - 1630: Close The FTSE closed higher on Wednesday, with gains limited by a poorly performing mining sector, which was hit by another decline in the price of gold. RSA was also a big faller after the firm revealed a cut to its dividend and a change to its auditor. Heading higher was Rexam (LSE: REX.L - news) , which was boosted after the group increased its dividend. Kazhakmys continued losing ground following the recent sharp deterioration in its technical aspect. In economic news, the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee's minutes showed that the central bank was a fair bit more dovish than had been thought, prompting a decline in the pound. The decision to hold the size of its QE programme unchanged at 375bn pounds was decided upon by a margin of six votes in favour to three against. The FTSE 100 closed up 16 points at 6,395.
1415: The FTSE 100 is up 32 points at 6,411 with US stock futures pointing to a slightly higher start on Wall Street when the opening bell rings in 15 minutes' time.
1330: US housing starts fell to an annualised rate of 890,000 in January (Consensus: 920,000). Some commentators believe the break-down of the statistics, however, are not quite as negative.
1317: There is some market chatter now regarding the worsening technical 'picture' for the price of gold, that comes as Fresnillo (Other OTC: FNLPF - news) is sliding towards the bottom of the pile at the moment.
1312: Shares of RBS (LSE: RBS.L - news) are now moving up the leader board despite the rather poor commentary coming out of analysts such as those at Credit Suisse (NYSE: CRP - news) . Ahead of the lender's results on February 28th this is what they are saying "the group has underperformed its UK domestic peers and European banks year-to-date; trading at 0.7 times estimated 2014 tangible net asset value (TNAV) for a 5.8% return on tangible equity (RoTE) (...) RBS remains one of our least preferred name in the space as we continue to think that the group's capital position is limiting a much needed more radical restructuring." Credit Suisse has nonetheless raised its target on the shares to 260p from 250p before. FTSE 100 (FTSE: ^FTSE - news) up 26 to 6,405.
1218: US outfit Office Depot (NYSE: ODP - news) is to purchase rival Office Max for 13.5 dollars per share.
1012: Sterling has dropped towards 1.5330 in its cross versus the US dollar following the BoE minutes. Technical support now lies chiefly at the 1.5271/35 level, which is the 50 per cent Fibonacci retracement of the move since 2009 according to Commerzbank (Xetra: 803200 - news) . FTSE 100 up 21 to 6,400.
0931: The Monetary Policy Committee voted 6-3 in favour of increasing the size of the Bank of England's asset purchase program by another 25bn pounds. The vote was expected to have been 8-1 if not 9-0. King and Fisher joined Miles in asking for the above increase. Sterling has reacted with an immediate and sharp drop lower below 1.54 in its cross versus the US dollar.
0930: The claimant count fell by 12,500 in January, ONS data shows versus forecasts for a drop of 7,000.
0911: Shares of Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news) have taken a hit following a downgrade out of Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS-PB - news) to neutral from buy. RBS, on the other hand, has seen its price target raised to 260p from 250p at Credit Suisse. To be had in account, Barclays, Carnival (LSE: CCL.L - news) , GlaxoSmithKlline and Reckitt Benckiser (LSE: RB.L - news) all go ex-dividend today. Of interest as well, today's Financial Times comments on insurer RSA's decision to switch its auditor. FTSE 100 up 2 to 6,381.
0900: Italian industrial orders contracted at an 11.5 per cent year-on-year pace in December, an extremely poor showing.
0851: Shares have started the session ever so slightly lower, dragged down by RSA Insurance (LSE: RSA.L - news) 's surprise decision to 're-base' its final dividend by no less than a third. That is dragging on peer Aviva (LSE: AV.L - news) . BHP Billiton (NYSE: BBL - news) is also lower despite having beaten consensus at the operating level, in terms of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). As well, analysts at Credit Suisse - at least - seem to have a favourable view of the company's new Chief Executive Officer. At 09:30 the minutes of the last rate setting meeting of the Bank of England will be released. There is the possibility that Mr.Miles may have altered his vote following the latest Inflation report, choosing not to back an increase in the size of the central bank's asset purchase program this time around, Barclays writes. FTSE 100 down 3 to 6,376.

Mr. Creager FS Flip!
That's right. All those whiny little regular-footed maggots can shut their little pieholes for another year because Team Goofy stomped their asses today at the etnies GvR contest.
Congrats to Jereme Rogers for winning first place, Ronnie Creager for winning Team Goofy MVP and to all the Goofy-footers who made it happen. Further congrats go to Chris Cole for winning the Regular-footed MVP award and his 18th guitar. Stay tuned in the coming days for more highlights, tons of photos, and much more.

This is one of your dumbest posts ever, not a good look for you.
John Wall may or may not be better than Rondo now but he is certainly better in terms of up side assuming he can stay healthier going forward.
But here's the thing - Wall WAS THE FIRST PICK IN THE DRAFT. Rnndo was the 21st. That's how it goes in the NBA. There was a reason Rondo wasn't picked first.
Here's an assignment for you while you are Rondo-bashing.
Go find a point guard in the league drafted 20th or later who is better than Rondo. Have fun with that! Even Steve Nash, somewhat under the radar, went 15th.
Wall would never be traded for Rondo and a first round pick. Let it go and move on.

Synopsis: In the tiny town of Williston, North Dakota, tens of thousands of unemployed hopefuls show up with dreams of honest work and a big paycheck under the lure of the oil boom. However, busloads of newcomers chasing a broken American Dream step into the stark reality of slim work prospects and nowhere to sleep. The town lacks the infrastructure to house the overflow of migrants, even for those who do find gainful employment. Over at Concordia Lutheran Church, Pastor Jay Reinke is driven to deliver the migrants some dignity. Night after night, he converts his church into a makeshift dorm and counseling center, opening the church's doors to allow the "Overnighters" (as he calls them) to stay for a night, a week or longer. They sleep on the floor, in the pews and in their cars in the church parking lot. Many who take shelter with Reinke are living on society's fringes and with checkered pasts, and their presence starts affecting the dynamics of the small community. The congregants begin slinging criticism and the City Council threatens to shut the controversial Overnighters program down, forcing the pastor to make a decision which leads to profound consequences that he never imagined.

Her mom and dad would like to apologize to the victims to those pranks.
Ashley loved having fun and living everyday as if it were her last. On March 30, 2012, she gave birth to her son, Asher Blayze Courtney. She was a wonderful mother and loved being with her son.
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Charley Johnson, and her maternal grandfather, "Sonny" Brightwell.
She is survived by her dad, Jeffrey Johnson; mother, Rhonda Johnson; son, Asher Courtney; paternal grandmother, Mrs. Lois Johnson; maternal grandmother, Fern Brightwell-Prince; several aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and many, many friends.

Casketbearers were Lewis Sutton, Josh Brown, John Dawson, Tim Lemley, Alexander Castro, Chad Bender and Lucas Dobbs. Interment was in Clintonville Cemetery, El Dorado Springs, under direction of Sheldon Funeral Home, El Dorado Springs.

Looks like a guy has created a video repeater that "somehow" manages to overwhelm the inputs of any screen in the vicinity. The demo shows the inventor taking over a couple of small screens at ground level, before attaching the device to a huge red balloon and floating it up high to hax bigger screens up above.
The iPhone doesn't transmit video out of its headphone jack. Not to mention there is no way this would work, even in principle.

Precisely how excited will you be to get instant usage of a folder of bigger than 16, 000 woodworking plans in addition to construction plans?
Many folks are very proud whenever they can produce a good good quality of furniture and usually will last longer approximately several generations comparing to the mass production ready to use household furniture that are located in hardware retailer or market. A good furniture piece woodworking plans provides you with well paced step-by-step coaching, which may be read by means of professional woodworker or maybe a beginner throughout woodworking.
When you are just you start with woodworking, it pays to to become knowledgeable as much as you can certainly about your hobby. I genuinely recommend trying one of the digital woodworking plans as well as blueprints that are being sold online.
Today, some on the net available software which is on the main topic of woodworking for beginners comes using pretty comprehensive blueprints, design plans, required materials lists, etc. The woodworking program bundles further help it become easier regarding carpentry newbie's to achieve the appropriate tools accessible for their own carpentry job.
Head over to Ted Mcgraths website to find out yourself how teds woodworking plans are simply just best for your family. Think about how exactly long it might take you to utilize all the 16, 000 plans which Ted offers you.
As discussed earlier, online woodworking plans is likely to make your woodworking experience faster and easier here. Very often, the plan behind these software applications is for taking any speculations beyond beginners inside working with wood.
Likewise, you should ask as much people as is possible if they get any direct experience together with working with wood; maybe it turns out that possibly your next-door neighbor can be a woodworker him- or even herself. For individuals who build their particular furniture because hobby during the weekend can also take the children helping you actually.
Smaller woodworking jobs can give you instant satisfaction within merely some hours and you may further be sure not to have overwhelmed using your first job. Bear at heart that – since you advance further with the woodworking expertise- building an actual fixture for any outside of your house, for case in point a back garden house, might call for a building allow or similar to that out of your town.
Hence, what I really recommend is view one of the digital woodworking plans available below.

Windwool Cloth farming is easily done in a few select locations in World of Warcraft.
These are some of the best ways to farm Windwool Cloth so that you can have access to all the Windwool Cloth you will ever need. If you are a Gold Capped member, remember to check out the Tailoring Profession Guide once your done farming to learn how to make the most gold from your Windwool Cloth. If your not a member of Gold Capped yet, you are welcome to join!
Click the + or - buttons to open each section
Windwool Cloth Farming Basics
Windwool Cloth farming is best done on a tailor. Although this is not essential, the Northern Cloth Scavenging will still provide a tailor more cloth drops than a player without it. Dont worry about the tooltip, it just works.
The better the gear you have the better your results will often be. This is only true until you reach a point where you are waiting for the mobs to respawn after killing them all. This happens at around item level 550+. If your gear is not that strong don't worry, all these zones can just as easily be farmed on a fresh level 90 character, it will just take a little longer to kill the mobs and so result in slightly less Windwool Cloth.
Windwool Cloth Farming - Isle of Thunder
When Windwool Cloth farming in patch 5.3 I would always look to kill the Shan'ze Gravekeepers. Now that patch 5.4 is out most players have moved to the Timeless Isle leaving this zone almost empty apart from a few players completing some quick daily quests. As an added bonus, you will also gain reputation with The Black Prince if you sill need it for the Legendary Quest chain.
Take a Potion of Luck for increased loot drops if you plan to be Windwool Cloth farming for any longer than 20mins.
Windwool Cloth Farming - The Jade Forest
Your main focus when Windwool Cloth farming in The Jade Forrest is to concentrate on the Slitherscale Eggdrinker. These have the best chance to drop Windwool Cloth and have a very quick respawn time. Be aware that this is a popular zone for people to powerlevel there friends and because of this you might have some competition. As it is the lowest level zone in World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria this is a great zone to start with if your gear is only basic.
Once again taking a Potion of Luck will greatly increase your loot drops and improve the efficiency of farming.
Windwool Cloth Farming - Vale of Eternal Blossoms
Kill the Shao-Tien Fist. These mobs have the advantage of dropping Skyshards and Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key. This is an area that will require a good level of gear at they have almost 600k health. Due to the extra loot that is dropped these become the most reliable source for Windwool Cloth in patch 5.4 (and beyond)
Add on a Potion of Luck and this becomes a very profitable area to farm.
Now you have the materials, members of Gold Capped should head over to the Tailoring Profession Guide to see how to best use all this Cloth. If your not a member of Gold Capped yet, you are welcome to join!
