See the Magic. Lost Words: A-E. Mailbag: "What Should I See At Walt Disney World?" I promised someone I would do this post a few months ago, since it's always been a FAQ - and since then I've had four more of you ask me for the exact same thing. So, yeah, I guess it's time! So, here 'tis: My personal list of Stuff You Shouldn't Miss On Your Walt Disney World Vacation. I'm going to do this bullet-point-style, and just concentrate on the things John and I like best, so don't consider this an all-inclusive guide; if you want one of those, the 'net is bursting with them.

If I don't list something, odds are that means it's good. The Magic Kingdom: Most rides at the MK are great, but the absolute MUST-rides are: - Haunted Mansion- Pirates of the Caribbean- If you like thrill rides, all the Mountains (Space, Thunder, Splash)- The train (that counts as a ride, right?)

Electric vehicle plug: Image via Toyota UK I’ve been thinking about upgrading to an electric car for a while now. And in today’s market, there are plenty of models to choose from. But having a lot of options makes for a complicated decision!

Each model of electric car has its own unique mix of efficiency, charging time, and driving range—and since buying a car is a big decision, I want to find the model that makes the most sense for my family. So, for my own convenience—and hopefully yours—I pulled together a table with basic stats on the major electric and plug-in hybrid cars: Click on image for a larger version of the guide What I took away from this research is that there’s no “perfect” choice among the EVs on the market. But at least you now have the numbers. And now for the notes and caveats: (Sources for the chart include the manufacturers’ websites, Wikipedia, FuelEconomy.gov, and Motor Trend Magazine.)

It is time for spring cleaning, or as I think of it, my yearly chance to shove old technology products to the back of my storage closet.

Instead, this should be a chance to take advantage of companies’ stepped-up recycling efforts. Last year, 460 million pounds of electronics were collected and recycled in the U.S., a 53 percent increase from 2010, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. People know they should recycle their old or unwanted technology products, but they don’t know where to begin. So this week, I did the dirty work, rounding up details from eight major companies about their recycling programs, including fees, dropoff locations, acceptable products, shipping options, haul-away services and personal-data-wiping solutions. Apple invites its customers to bring all batteries and iPods into its 247 U.S. stores for recycling, and any iPod (except the iPod shuffle) can be turned in for a 10 percent discount on a new iPod.

It was written in 1877, but not published until 1918, when it was included as part of the collection Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins.[1] Pied Beauty Glory be to God for dappled things — For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings; Landscape plotted and pieced — fold, fallow, and plough; And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim. All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him. "Pied Beauty" Gerald Manley Hopkins written 1877.[2] Background[edit] In the poem, the narrator praises God for the variety of "dappled things" in nature, such as piebald cattle, trout and finches.

The iPad's music player hasn't changed much since its debut, and unlike its desktop counterpart, it also lacks a built-in music visualizer for your mesmerization.

"..Why can't they stop clucking, and just push the money through his letter-box (if he has one) ? But then there'd be the immediate problem of gangster or government attack... " (the following is adapted from a piece in The Daily Telegraph, London) Dr Perelman's extraordinary life has been one of adversity and extremes.

He has suffered anti-Semitism as well as miscomprehension and betrayal from less talented colleagues. Disillusioned with the world around him, he effectively withdrew from society about five years ago, taking a monk-like vow of silence. Eventually, he stopped answering e-mails. Grisha, as he is known to his friends, was born in 1966 in what was then known as Leningrad at a time when the Soviet Union was at the peak of its powers. The young Grisha's talents were noticed before he had reached the age of 11.

"In 1981, he became the best of his age-group in the Soviet Union," recalled Sergey Rukshin, the director of the élite maths school where he studied. Small Lingerie | Lula Lu carries petite lingerie small bra AA - A cup bras. The origins of abc. Where does our alphabet come from? We see it every day on signs, billboards, packaging, in books and magazines; in fact, you are looking at it now — the Latin or Roman alphabet, the world’s most prolific, most widespread abc. Typography is a relatively recent invention, but to unearth the origins of alphabets, we will need to travel much farther back in time, to an era contemporaneous with the emergence of (agricultural) civilisation itself.

Robert Bringhurst wrote that writing is the solid form of language, the precipitate.[1] But writing is also much more than that, and its origins, its evolution, and the way it is now woven into the fabric of civilisations makes it a truly wonderful story. That story spans some 5,000 years. We’ll travel vast distances, meet an emperor, a clever Yorkshireman, a Phoenician princess by the name of Jezebel, and the ‘purple people’; we’ll march across deserts and fertile plains, and sail across oceans.
