StarCraft is an award-winning real-time strategy PC (and Mac) game created by Blizzard Entertainment. Brood War is an expansion of the game and features some new units. You will need the Brood War expansion to play the map Team Micro Arena Legends. Visit Blizzard's Website (extern link) to read more about StarCraft: Brood War.
Team Micro Arena is an ums map for StarCraft: Brood War. Two teams of two, three or four players play against each other and try to destroy the other teams Head Quarters. To do that, each player chooses from multiple default unit selections. Once selected, they spawn in the arena and can be controlled. Selectable heroes and the Kill Point system add a huge amount of strategic gameplay to the map.
Team Micro Arena is an umbrella term for a specific type of map. There are several TMA versions existing, like Gold, Desert, Wired or Legends. Team Micro Arena Legends is only one of them, but in our opinion the best because it offers most strategical possiblities. That's why we chose this one and have been developing it since 2004. If Team Micro Arena stood for pizza, Team Micro Arena Legends might be Pizza Margharita...got it?
Well, there are two basic game types possible on the battle.net - melee and ums. Best known and usual is the melee mode: Two or more guys guys have individual bases and start to expand. They create more buildings, enhance the technology and produce units to finally attack and destroy the opponent. This needs some good macro skills.
The other game type is called ums - use map settings. This is used to play maps which have special objectives and differ from the original 'build and destroy principle'. There are thousands of ums maps like the countless defense maps. Team Micro Arena maps are ums maps too. Compared to melee games, you almost don't need any macro. You primarily focus on your micro what makes the gameplay very fast and action-packed.
Macromanagement stands for actions concerning the production of buildings and units. It's an essential part of the game when you play a melee game. Micromanagement is all about the control of your units like using spells or pulling back damaged ones. In a TMA game there is almost no macro at all - you only have to choose your units. It strongly focuses on your micro and that's what it makes it that fast and action-packed.
Let me think about it...erm...yes. For instance Terran mechanical units can be repaired by SCVs. All Zerg units slowly regenerate their Health Points automatically. And Protoss units are protected by some Shield Points which have to be killed before you can attack the real Health Points. If you really didn't know one of these facts, quickly visit Blizzard's StarCraft Compendium (extern link) and get enlightened.
You will find all version of Team Micro Arena Legends and some other common TMA maps in the Download Section.
Well a game on TMA Legends can take quite some time. On average I would say something between 15 and 20 minutes versus weaker opponents. If both teams are kinda equal it will take between 30 minutes and an hour. We played inner games which lastet almost two hours. But don't be scared, time flies and you will get used to it.
In an inner game, you know the players. It's a privat game mostly protected by a password and consisting of players who made an appointment. The opposite is a public game. In this one you don't know who and how many guys will join.
There are several ways, but the best one is definitly to use our Community Forum. That way, others are also able to form an opinion about it and we can discuss if your ideas are included into a new version of Team Micro Arena Legends.
TMA Legends can be played 2on2 or 3on3 at most. 1on1 is not playable since it is a teambased map. Other versions like TMA Desert are playable 4on4. It is possible to modify TMA Legends for eight players, but it would certainly lack of clarity because there were just too many units in the arena. If enough people are interested in a 4on4 TMA Legends map, contact us or use the Community Forumand we might modify the map.
Feel free to play just the way you want. However, there are some things you shouldn't do. For instance: No teamkill, don't leave locked units without killing them, don't try to suicide every unit you selected and - last but not least - try to stay mannered. Thx!
Some units are very often selected and others almost never, because they aren't that strong especially without support. But every unit/hero has its sense and can perform a specific task. Nothing is useless if you know how to handle it.
Due to the fact that it is not possible to create a Raszagal unit on the map per trigger, it already has to be on the map when the game starts. They are kinda stored there and teleported if you select it as your hero.
Although I have to admit that there are some idiots out there, many people aren't but just don't know how to play. Try to talk to him and tell him what to choose and why. If he's interested also tell him about this site and the next time you meet in a game he will probably do much better.

Using ProEdit. It can be downloaded here (extern link).
Not really a question, but ok...erm...just don't play it? The other possibility was to tell us what exactly you don't like and why. Feel free to use the Community Forum.
We will see...
Simply check out our channel op tma on battle.net Europe, East or iCCup. Most certainly some guys will be there hanging around. If you really don't meet anyone, you can also use our Community Forum or directly contact us. That way we will meet sooner or later...there's no escape.
Best way is to visit our channel OP TMA on B.net Europe or East and regularly play some games with and against us. When we got to know you and you showed some motivation for a period of about four weeks, we will decide if you fit to Clan TMA and you can create your TMA account.
Well I have to admit we can't really prevent you from doing that. But note that you will be ignored by us, banned from our channel and added to a blacklist on this site. Just don't do it...
Check out the Story of the Clan and you will see.
One of the advantages having a TMA tag. Once you got the TMA tag, you will get full access to our bot. For more information about the bot software, check out stealthbot.net (external Link).
Check out the section about our Channel Bot to see the command list.
Of course, and I was pleased if you tell me where you found it. Please use the Contact Section to inform me.
There you go: To the Guestbook.

You have no idea...
This site was validly coded by using Notepad++. I included a Guestbook Script which was written by Felix Riesterer, the Forum is called Vanilla. You can download everthing here (extern Links): Notepad++ | Guestbook Script (in german) | Vanilla Forum.
Yes! I want to thank all guys who were hanging around on the battle.net with me during the last years - especially our members but also all the others. The site, the map, the clan...without your support and the joy of playing Team Micro Arena Legends, nothing of this would be like it is today. Thanks...and let's keep it that way. TMA 4 Life!

Funding ratios for corporate pension plans increased in December on a monthly and quarterly basis, according to reports from Wilshire Associates, Legal & General Investment Management America and Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss.
Wilshire's monthly report noted that the aggregate funding ratio for U.S. corporate plans increased by 1.7 percentage points to 86.8% as of Dec. 31 from Nov. 30 and by 3.9 percentage points from Sept. 30. The monthly change in funding resulted from a 1.5-percentage-point increase in asset values and a 0.3-percentage-point decrease in liability values.
"December's funded ratio increase was driven by positive monthly returns for most asset classes ... due to optimism around a return to normalcy with the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine," said Ned McGuire, managing director and a member of the investment management and research group of Wilshire Associates, in a news release announcing the results. "Over the calendar year, the funded ratio saw heightened volatility dropping more than 7 percentage points during the first quarter with a near full recovery over the final three quarters."
LGIMA found the funding ratio of a typical corporate pension plan increased by 2.3 percentage points to 82.1%, primarily driven by strong equities performance outpacing plan liabilities. LGIMA estimated U.S. Treasury rates rose by 7 basis points while credit spreads tightened by 6 basis points, resulting in the average discount rate increasing by 1 basis point.
Liabilities for the typical plan remained relatively flat, while plan assets with a traditional 60% equity/40% bond asset allocation increased by roughly 2.9%, LGIMA said.
Meanwhile, LGIMA's Pension Fiscal Fitness Monitor estimated the average U.S. corporate pension plan funding ratio as of Dec. 31 was 82.1%, up from 77.9% Sept. 30.
The S&P 500 and global equity markets rose 12.2% and 14.8%, respectively, during the quarter.
Plan discount rates decreased by 17 basis points, as Treasury rates rose 20 basis points and credit spreads tightened 37 basis points. Plan assets with a traditional 60% equity/40% bond asset allocation rose 9.1%, resulting in a 4.2-percentage-point increase in funding ratios over the fourth quarter.
In a news release announcing the results, Chris Wroblewski, solutions strategist at LGIMA, attributed the quarterly increase in funding ratios "to strong global equity performance propelling asset growth ahead of plan liabilities."
"The fourth quarter capped off a year of extraordinary market volatility with investors experiencing a dramatic downturn, quickly followed by an impressive recovery in asset prices," Mr. Wroblewski added.
As measured by Barrow Hanley, the average corporate pension plan funding ratio is estimated to have increased to 89.1% as of Dec. 31 from 84% as of Sept. 30. The money manager attributed the increase to strong equity market performance offsetting pension liability increases.
The estimate was calculated using the most recent 10-K filings from Russell 3000 companies and estimating the funding ratios using the following asset allocation with asset classes' associated indexes: 29% long-duration fixed income, 28% domestic equities, 15% international equities, 10% core fixed income, 6% hedge funds, 5% private equity, 3% each cash and commodities, and the remainder in real estate investment trusts.
By industry, Barrow Hanley said the average funding ratio as of Dec. 31 was highest among banks at 108.8% and lowest among airlines at 78.9%.

Laser cutting, also known as metal engraving, is a technique where the output of laser light is engraved on metal objects. This type of laser engraving is called laser cutting. Laser cutting machines often include the power source for the laser, a LED, an Ionization chamber, an applicator device, and a laser energy detection (LED). In this instance, the laser cutting head is not part of the machine but is an independent entity that is built into the equipment. This kind of laser cutting or engraving machine can be divided into various kinds.
The most popular type is the CNC laser-cutting head. This is used for precision engravings in low volumes. The mixing laser machine comes with many advantages over the regular CO2 laser cutter head. It can cut non-metal and metallic materials (wood or brass MDF and others.). The machine is equipped with an automatic focusing system, which allows it to precisely identify the location of the focal point within the material in order to cut it. The model also comes with an accessory known as the “engraver wheel” which permits you to rotate the workpiece as the laser beam is working.
The CNC laser cutting head’s movements are the other main type. These are usually used in larger operations. This type of cutting head for lasers can be moved in either the rotary or linear mode according to the type of operation. The rotary mode is when the cutting head moves across the workpiece as it cuts, while linear mode moves the material in one direction at a time.
If the process requires precision and precision, then the Continuous Laser Engraving (CEL) technique is used. The laser beam produces lines on the materials to be engraved. This method has a distinct advantage over the other methods in terms accuracy because it doesn’t require the use of any moving parts or gears. CEL laser engraving transmits the laser beam continuously across the workpiece. The line width is set to a depth that is equal to the thickness of the workpiece. By the use of a computer program, the angle and position of the laser beam can be electronically controlled, which enables the workpiece to move precisely and securely without the need for manual effort.
The other important factor to be considered when buying laser engraving equipment is the machine’s lens focal length. Lenses determine the depth of the laser pattern that is projected on the workpiece. A longer lens focal length provides more fine details on the engraved metal and helps prevent the engraving from blurring.
A mixed laser cutting machine ( MLB ) involves the utilization of a co2 high-power laser tube coupled with a fiber optic feed. A high-power co2 laser tube can produce stronger and more intense light than a standard fiber optic tube. This permits more precise cutting. The fiber optic feed allows a two-way, synchronous laser communication between the co2 laser tube and the computerized CNC machine. The intricate patterns created by the co2 laser tube are more accurate than those created by a traditional CNC machine. Certain manufacturers combine a standard CNC machine with a MLT (medium laser cutting) system in order to create finer pieces of metal. Manufacturers can also combine a standard CNC machine with a high-power CO2 laser tube with an optical feed. Know more about Laser Rust Removal now.
Fiber Optics and a high-power CO2 Laser Tube. The combination of these two technologies allows for a high quality of cut-depth and output power, and the accuracy of the final product is almost identical to the precision of a conventional CNC machine. The primary difference between a CNC machine versus a MLT is the fact that the latter produces focused beams. This means that they work in one direction. Because of their focussed output and high-power fiber optic output of CNC machines is not required, and therefore it is not required to depend on a correlated laser focus. In a CNC machine, the output of the laser beam directly controls the movement of the drill bit, which enables the system to be more precisely controlled; however, due to the above-mentioned dependence on a correlated laser focus, the precision of the cut depends on the power output of the laser itself and not on the fiber optic feed.
A Mixed Mode Focusing cutter. A MLT is combined with a fiber optic high-power output and a CNC laser in order to create a two-way synchronous laser communication between the system and the CNC machine. In a CNC machine, this enables the machine to simultaneously program laser durations, cutting depths, and feed rates. Because these processes are all dependent on one another, and due to the complex communication between machine and CNC cutter, this combination is commonly called a “quadrate” or “fiber laser auger.”

Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Saturday lashed out at MNS chief Raj Thackeray for his 'Bihari' bashing and asked the Centre to take strong action against him.
Thackery was in the habit of making inflammatory speeches particularly against migrants from Bihar to further his regional and chauvinistic political agenda, Modi told reporters in Patna.
Criticising the Centre for failure to take steps against Thackeray, Modi said that it appeared that he enjoyed the patronage of the Congress party in Maharashtra.
In a related development, a case was filed during the day against Thackeray in a court in Muzaffarpur district for the hate speech made by him against Biharis.
Senior advocate Sudhir Ojha filed the case in the court of the chief judicial magistrate SP Singh under section 124A (sedition), 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153A (promoting enmity between different groups of people) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) of IPC.
The judge posted the hearing on September 3.

Crossing Paths and Cyclocross
Wonderful bike-related incidents in the last two days: A first in-the-flesh meeting with No One Line, who has moved to my part of Massachusetts (lucky me!) and a visit to the Cycle-Smart International cyclocross race in Look Park (in Northampton, MA) where local boys Jeremy Powers and Jamey Driscoll once again laid waste (as Sri Bobke would say) in the Elite division.
That last race was all I was able to make, but it was great fun, including an insane rock-and-root-strewn run-up, where I stood with No One Line and his friends, cheering and ringing a free cowbell from Mavic (score!). As fun as it is to watch, I never fail, within the first 30 seconds of attending a 'cross melee, to have the same reaction: "This isn't what bikes are built for!" All the more amazing then, no? As NOL put it, those guys are "lean and mean, but all fast-twitch." The wattage level they put out for a solid hour is amazing.
The whole retro-boho-beer-sippin'-facial-hair-and-handmade-cycling-cap-sportin' 'cross culture was on full display. With one foot firmly on the road to geezer-hood, I love being around the energy, creativity, haughty self-consciousness, and pure athleticism. A heady mix, delightful for short bursts of time. It was a lovely day for 'cross: 50 degrees and sunny. Well, okay, the wannabe Belgians probably would have preferred 40 degrees and raining, but it was sure a good day for standing around watching other people burn up glycogen like it was goin' out of style...
Stop by tomorrow -- a beautiful day predicted and more cycling insanity for those willing to pay the measly $5.00 parking fee. Me? I'll be out on a ride, inspired by the studs I saw today.

The results are in for Virginia’s largest school system, Fairfax, and they aren’t pretty.
The number of ‘F’ grades have spiked an astounding 83% year over year, according to a new study from the Office of Research and Strategic Improvement.
Last year, F’s made up around 6% of all grades and that number nearly doubled, sending shockwaves through the state and now the bad news is receiving national attention.
Even more disturbing than the overall increase, students with disabilities are being harmed the most. Here are a few details from the study:
The analyses indicated that the percentage of students with 2 or more unsatisfactory marks at the end of Q1 increased in SY 2020-21 for all student groups when compared to SY 2019-20 Q1 marks.
Overall, F marks increased from 6 percent of the all marks to 11 percent of all marks, an 83 percent increase.
The amount of increase among racial/ethnic, gender, and other student groups was highest among Students with Disabilities (111 percent increase), and English learner (106 percent increase) students and lowest among Black (63 percent increase) and White students (67 percent increase).
Nonetheless, all groups showed increases in the percentage of F marks
received during Q1 of the current year as compared to the prior year, indicating that more students were failing courses during the (primarily) virtual instruction period than had occurred when instruction was delivered in-person.
Organizers of the study noted the increase was seen in all groups and categories across the board, and that it’s very “concerning” on many levels.
“The trend of more failing marks is concerning across the board but is especially concerning for the groups that showed the biggest unpredicted increases, namely our English learner students and students with disabilities.
According to the Washington Post, Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Scott Brabrand issued this response via statement by saying they’re “working as swiftly as possible to repair the damage.” The Post also noted that he said the students who normally perform well have continued that trend, but students who struggle have seen increased struggles.
“We are working on identifying these students by name and by need and are working on specific interventions to support them right now and as we phase back in person,” he said.
The decision to close schools and keep many of them closed has been met with resistance, as experts have said schools are a low risk environment, given the nature of the virus. Health officials have said repeatedly they should be last to close.
Yet, local governments have rushed to close them down. The impact on children is not yet known but many are feeling it could be disastrous.
These aren’t just drops in grades. The results are “unprecedented” according to the report in the Post.
Comparing grades achieved in past years to grades this year showed that the drop in good grades is significant and unprecedented. The likelihood of passing an English class decreased by 40 percent this year for all students, according to the analysis, while the likelihood of passing mathematics decreased by 30 percent.
The report concludes that, overall, “the effect of [this] school year was negative, indicating that the probability of passing a course decreased in … 2020-21 as compared to other years.”
It also showed that student achievement is seriously off-track in mathematics and English, the two course subjects studied, from what would have been expected based on past performance. According to the analysis, 35 percent of all Fairfax students are underperforming in math and 39 percent are underperforming in English.
Continue to pray for all impacted by these closures, for those making the decisions, and that ultimately wisdom prevails over fear.

Only rubbles remained yesterday of the foundation stone of the planned military base in Ungwan Yashi area of Zangon Kataf Local Government, Southern Kaduna after an attack by suspected hoodlums overnight.
The foundation stone was laid on penultimate Saturday by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen Tukur Buratai, as part of efforts to step up security in the area and reduce the incessant killings by Fulani herdsmen and the locals.
A furious Governor Nasir El-Rufai lashed out at the vandals yesterday and vowed that they won’t go unpunished.
Government, he said in a statement by his spokesman, Samuel Aruwan, would not give in to “obstacles and setback to its stabilisation and peace building efforts by destructive elements.”
He branded the destruction of the foundation stone as unfortunate, condemnable and a setback to government’s peace initiative.
His words: “I received the news with shock over the unfortunate destruction of foundation laid for the proposed Nigerian Army Battalion in Southern Kaduna.
”The very structure we erected to establish the long-awaited Army Barracks to assist in promotion of peace and end the decades of senseless blood-shedding, in the southern part of Kaduna State.
“The situation is unfortunate, condemnable and a setback to the government’s communal stabilization and peace building efforts, but we will not be deterred.
”We urge our people that cherish peaceful coexistence, to continue to be resilient, focused and resolute in overcoming antics of forces of darkness and evil.
”Those that did this are determined to derail the contributions of the security agencies, having failed to spread their tentacles of hate, bigotry and penchant for divisiveness.
“I want to use this medium to appeal to all men and women of conscience to remain firm and optimistic, while the government in collaboration with security agencies, civil society, religious and traditional institutions will continue to work assiduously for peace and security of life and property.
“Finally, all those that have their hands in the destruction of this structure will not go free.
”The security agencies will fish out the perpetrators, and those found to be involved, or engaged in omissions that led to the destruction of public property will be brought to justice without fear or favour.”

In recent years, St. Louis has done much to earn a place on the American Tort Reform Association’s list of judicial hell holes. Not content to rest on its laurels, the St. Louis circuit court grabbed the headlines again last week with a draw-dropping $70 million verdict against Johnson & Johnson ($67.25 million, including $65 million in punitive damages) and Imerys Talc America ($2.75 million, including $2.5 million in punitive damages) in a case alleging that J&J talcum powder caused the plaintiff’s ovarian cancer.
This is the third massive punitive exaction imposed against J&J by a St. Louis jury in the on-going talcum powder litigation—even while courts in New Jersey have thrown out similar cases on the ground that the science does not support them.
We explained in a prior post why the first two punitive awards are unconstitutionally excessive. What we said in that post applies to the most recent verdict as well.
The nearly 29:1 ratio of punitive to compensatory damages is unconstitutional on its face under State Farm. Indeed, in the 13-plus years since State Farm was decided, there are no cases outside the terrorism context upholding ratios of this magnitude when the compensatory damages are over $1 million.
More importantly, the fact that there are more than 1,000 other plaintiffs raising the same claims means that even a 1:1 ratio would be unconstitutionally excessive, because if each of those plaintiffs were to receive an identical amount of punitive damages—$2.25 million—no one could credibly deny that the aggregate punishment—over $2.25 billion—would be excessive.
That is more—not less—true because J&J may wind up being exonerated in many cases. Allowing a plaintiff to collect punitive damages in excess of what would be permissible if every other plaintiff were to receive the same amount would deprive the defendant of the benefit of its exonerations in violation of the Due Process Clause.
Being included on ATRA’s hell hole list had the salutary effect of causing courts and/or legislatures in West Virginia, Mississippi, and elsewhere to begin to rein in the abuses that were occurring in the trial courts of those states. Hopefully, the same will be true of Missouri, and the appellate courts of that state will bring the punitive awards against J&J in the talcum powder litigation back within constitutional bounds—if not throw them out entirely.

30 Jun 3 Tips to Bookkeeping Better: Businesses
You must know your company’s revenues and expenses. Not knowing if your business is profitable is stressful and is one of the many outcomes of weak accounting processes. Note the below tips that are a start to your journey of using better bookkeeping processes within your business:
- Set standard bookkeeping policies for your company. Accounting for revenues and expenses is mandatory. Document your business’s processes for submission of expense reports (expense management), separation of duties within accounts receivable and payable, internal controls over financial reporting, inventory management, etc.
- Choose software that is understandable and reliable. Become familiar with basic accounting terms such as accrual versus cash, capitalization, equity, etc. Add a bank feed to your check register to enhance accuracy and save time on data entry.
- Be involved in the bookkeeping process by reviewing your bank statements, reconciling the book versus bank balances and running financial reports.
- A best practice is to recruit a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Bookkeeper (CB) on your team. They compile financial information for discussions about strategies like scaling your business.
Bookkeeping is a workflow that your company must implement. Use bookkeeping as a frame of reference to evaluate the growth of your business.

UHPC Steel Fibers: the key to developing durable and reliable wind turbine foundations
UHPC Steel Fiber is a revolutionary material that is becoming increasingly popular in the construction industry for its superior mechanical properties. Made from ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) with steel fibers added for strength and durability, UHPC Steel Fibers are used in a variety of applications, including architectural design, bridge construction, tunnel linings and industrial flooring systems. However, one of the most important applications for UHPC Steel Fibers is in wind turbine foundations. In this article, we will explore how UHPC Steel Fibers are the key to developing durable and reliable wind turbine foundations.
Wind turbines are large structures that require strong and stable foundations to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Foundations support the weight of the entire structure and ensure that it remains stable during operation. Wind turbine foundations must also be designed to resist the lateral loads generated by the wind and the dynamic forces generated by the rotating blades. Therefore, designing a wind turbine foundation requires a durable and reliable material that can withstand these loads without failure.
UHPC Steel Fiber is an ideal material for wind turbine foundations because of its high compressive strength, tensile strength and ductility. These properties make UHPC Steel Fibers highly resistant to deformation and cracking under the heavy loads generated by wind turbines. In addition, the steel fibers in UHPC Steel Fibers strengthen the concrete matrix, preventing crack expansion and enhancing the toughness of the material.
The use of UHPC Steel Fibers in wind turbine foundations offers several advantages over traditional concrete materials. First, UHPC Steel Fibers have excellent resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, which is critical in areas with severe winter weather. Second, UHPC Steel Fibers reduce the risk of corrosion due to their low permeability, thereby extending the life of the foundation. Finally, UHPC Steel Fibers reduce maintenance costs by minimizing the need for repair and replacement.
An example of the successful use of UHPC Steel Fibers in wind turbine foundations is the WindFloat Atlantic project off the coast of Portugal. The project involves the construction of a floating wind farm in the Atlantic Ocean with turbines anchored to the seabed using UHPC Steel Fiber foundations designed to withstand the harsh marine environment and resist dynamic loads generated by waves and wind. The project was completed in 2020 and has been successfully producing clean energy ever since.
In short, UHPC Steel Fibers are key to developing durable and reliable wind turbine foundations. With its superior mechanical properties, UHPC Steel Fiber provides a material that can withstand the heavy loads generated by wind turbines while providing excellent resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and corrosion. the successful use of UHPC Steel Fiber in projects such as WindFloat Atlantic demonstrates its potential to revolutionize the wind energy industry. As we continue to seek more sustainable forms of energy, the use of UHPC Steel Fibers in wind turbine foundations will undoubtedly play an important role in achieving this goal.

If you are a hot sleeper, investing in a set of eucalyptus sheets is a great way to avoid night sweats. Another benefit is the material's breathability, says James Higgins, CEO of Ethical Bedding. "Eucalyptus's ability to wick moisture away makes it perfect for bedding and clothes," Higgins explains. "[L]ess moisture on bedding means less susceptibility to a buildup of mold and mildew."
We researched the best eucalyptus sheets available online, then sent them to our team of home product testers to assess comfort, breathability, quality, and value. Our best overall pick, the Olive + Crate Eucalyptus Cooling Pillowcase and Sheets Set, is reasonably-priced, luxuriously soft, and has impressive cooling abilities.
Here are the best eucalyptus sheets.
Best Overall: Olive + Crate Natural Eucalyptus Sheet Set
Get softer with each wash
Strong cooling factor
Some note slight wear and tear after washing
The softness, cooling capabilities, and design-forward look of the Olive + Crate Cooling Eucalyptus Sheets earned them a perfect five-star rating and our best overall pick. The naturally hypoallergenic bedding feels silky, but not slippery, and luxuriously soft. We especially love the color options and reasonable price for this pick, which only gets softer with each wash.
As is to be expected of eucalyptus, these sheets kept our tester cool all night long. Plus, the nearly zero-waste production process uses renewable plantation eucalyptus that uses far less water than cotton or linen. Enjoy fuss-free bed making with 17.5-inch deep pockets and elastic bands for the corners of your fitted sheet, and a small tag to indicate which side goes on the top of your mattress.
Best Cooling : Sijo AiryWeight Eucalyptus Sheet Set
Simple care instructions
Slight shrinkage after washing
Eucalyptus sheets are known to keep you cool, and this pick from Sijo is no exception. With sustainable, hypoallergenic, and OEKO-TEK certified materials, these sheets wick moisture while staying super soft all night long.
Our tester loved how lightweight and cool these sheets felt, while still feeling smooth and comfortable. The sheets also have a sheen on the surface for a luxurious and expensive look. On top of being breathable, eucalyptus fibers are bacteria-resistant and antimicrobial, making them great for sensitive skin. While the care instructions are simple, our tested noted a bit of shrinkage after washing; but, they still fit snugly on the bed.
Best Sustainable : Nest Bedding Eucalyptus Tencel Luxury Sheet Set
Gets softer with each wash
Eucalyptus sheets have earned a reputation for being softer, cooler, and more moisture-wicking than cotton, and the popular Luxury Eucalyptus TENCEL Sheet Set from Nest Bedding promises to get softer and comfier each time you wash them. According to our tester, the sustainable sheet set keeps you cool through the night.
Nest Bedding's TENCEL is made from renewable wood sources and uses 10-20 times less water than cotton, making it a perfect eco-friendly pick. The fibers flick moisture away from the body, making it 70 percent more absorbent than other materials. We like that the sheets fit snugly on your bed and accommodate mattress up to 15 inches deep.
Our tester noticed no visible difference after washing, adding to this pick's value. You can choose from classic white or opt for a fun yet mature peach or sage green.
Best Splurge: Buffy Breeze Sheet Set
Colors sell out quickly
Buffy’s Eucalyptus Sheets have earned raves for being super soft and cool-to-the-touch. Made from eco-friendly 100 percent eucalyptus grown in Austria, the breathable sheets are OEKO-TEX certified, so they’re free of harsh chemicals. The four-piece sheet set comes in six naturally-dyed shades, like the pink Blush color that’s dyed with gardenia, walnut, and turmeric.
Though the sheets feel luxurious, they’re easy to care for by machine washing and drying. Plus, the comfy sheet set gets softer every time you wash them.
Runner-Up, Best Splurge: SHEEX Arctic Aire Max Sheet Set
Perfect for thick mattresses
Comes in limited color options
While Tencel sheets are naturally cooling, the SHEEX Arctic Tencel Sheet Set gets even more cooling power from patented SHEEX CoolX Technology that wicks away moisture and keeps your temperature down while you sleep. Made from 100 percent Tencel lyocell with a thread count of 300, the sheet set is extra soft, smooth, and breathable.
The comfy sheet set is easy to machine wash and comes in two colors: denim or pink. Except for the twin-sized set, which comes with one pillowcase, each size includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two standard pillowcases. The queen and king-sized sheets fit mattresses up to 19-inches, so this set is a good choice for thick mattresses.
Best with Deep Pockets: Owensby Deep Pocket Tencel Sheet Set
Great for larger beds and mattresses
Some note that quality starts to fade after a few washes
With a pocket depth of 22 inches, the Owensby Deep Pocket Tencel Sheet Set provides silky-soft comfort for larger beds and thick mattresses. Made from 100 percent Tencel with a 300-thread count, the plain weave sheets are breathable and cool. The comfy sheets have a slight sheen that makes them look extra luxurious, too.
The durable sheet set is easy to care for by machine washing and drying, and it’s available in four versatile shades: gray, ivory, tan, and white. The sheet set includes four-pieces—a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases—though the twin-sized sets include one pillowcase.
Best Tencel-Cotton Blend: Molecule Luxury Percale Bed Sheet Set
Tight weave allows for a crisp and cool fabric
Most sets, except for twin, include shams and pillowcases
Not as soft as competitors
If you love cotton bedding and don’t want to fully make the switch to eucalyptus or Tencel, the Molecule Luxury Percale Bed Sheet Set is a great choice. Made from a blend of Tencel lyocell and cotton, this soft sheet set is more durable than 100 percent cotton. The 300-thread count percale sheets are tightly woven and feel crisp, smooth, and cool, and they’re moisture-wicking to keep you comfortable throughout the night.
The machine-washable sheets come in four neutral colors: white, ivory, powder blue, and cloud grey. With the exception of the twin-sized sets, which include one pillowcase, the eco-friendly sheet sets include a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases.
How We Tested
We purchased over 30 sheets to put to the test at The Lab in Des Moines, Iowa and had additional product testers evaluate the sheets at home. We specifically looked for comfort, breathability, quality, and value and had testers assess points for each attribute according to our own rating system.
In addition, we had testers take note of how sheets felt at the time of arrival and whether or not they held up well after washing and drying. Finally, we took their insights and our editorial research to compile our recommendations.
What to Look for in Eucalyptus Sheets
When choosing eucalyptus sheets, you’ll see options labeled as 100 percent eucalyptus and Tencel Lyocell. In general, eucalyptus takes less water to grow than cotton, so it has become a popular eco-friendly choice for bedding. Similarly, Tencel-branded fibers are made from the sustainably sourced pulp of eucalyptus wood and produced using environmentally responsible processes. Our top pick, the Olive + Crate Cooling Eucalyptus Sheets, is made from 100 percent Tencel fiber and was described by testers as feeling silky and luxuriously soft.
Most eucalyptus sheet sets only come in solid colors, but there are usually several vibrant options and classic neutral shades. While patterned eucalyptus sheets are less common, there are a few options for print lovers out there, too.
Because of the environmentally friendly manufacturing process, most eucalyptus sheets tend to be on the pricey side. However, if you want to try eucalyptus sheets without spending a lot, you can still find great options at wallet-friendly prices.
What are eucalyptus sheets made of?
Eucalyptus sheets are naturally soft sheets made from processed eucalyptus. The eucalyptus is first turned into wood chips and mixed with chemicals to form a pulp. They are then dissolved and extruded to get soft fibers.
They're also a great sustainable option compared to other materials. ""Eucalyptus bedding is also made in a closed-loop system, as opposed to linear," says Higgins. "This means more than 99 percent of the solvent amine oxide, water and natural additives to make a single batch of product is stored and reused for future batches. This minimizes the ecological footprint and reduces waste and impact from the manufacturing process," he adds.
How do you wash eucalyptus sheets?
In general, you should wash eucalyptus sheets in cold water and on your washing machine's gentle setting. To avoid damaging the fabric, use a mild detergent and wash them separately from your other laundry. Don't use fabric softener or bleach on eucalyptus sheets, otherwise you might reduce their quality and shorten their lifespan.
Higgins also shares a few tips to prevent wrinkles. "If you take them immediately out of the washing machine and give them a good shake, they should be free from most wrinkles. It's important to remove the sheets from the drum as soon as possible once dry to reduce any wrinkles," he shares.
What do eucalyptus sheets feel like?
Smooth and silky, eucalyptus sheets feel like a mix between silk and cotton. They're cool to the touch, with moisture-wicking properties and breathability. "When you try Eucalyptus bedding, it is so unbelievably soft that it’s hard to imagine it was made from wood. It has the ability to mimic the feel of cotton, silk, suede and even leather depending the style you buy," adds Higgins.
What are the benefits of eucalyptus sheets?
The most known benefit of sleeping on eucalyptus sheets is the breathability and coolness they provide throughout the night. This comes from the material's ability to wick away moisture and regulate temperature.
Another great benefit it that they are hypoallergenic. "Being a natural fibre eucalyptus bedding is great for people with sensitive skin and ensures you don't have skin irritation," says Higgins.
They also have antibacterial properties: "Eucalyptus bedding limits exposure to pathogens and germs. Its antibacterial properties have led to its increased use in medical dressings, which makes it great for those who suffer with skin problems such as acne," Higgins continues.
You also won't have to worry about buying new sheets every year because eucalyptus sheets are extremely durable. They're made to withstand many washes and resists shrinkage or damage.

This, my friends, is the first watch officially made by Porsche Design completely in-house. Although they have been involved in watch design since 1972, in each case Porsche Design has worked with a range of different watch companies, including the likes of Eterna, IWC, and Orfina. Seeing an opportunity for the brand to go it alone and take all the decades of acquired knowledge and put it to their own exclusive use, Porsche Design is officially out with their Timepiece No.1. While we don't have full images yet beyond a preview shot and the sketch that has been out for weeks now, the image does reveal that the familiar Porsche Design DNA is still intact; a nice mix of modern simplicity and functionality with obvious influences from their first Chronograph watch from 1972. The Timepiece No.1 is an all-black affair with a 42mm titanium case that's treated for a beautiful matte finish that is equally durable. Inside, white markers provide a nice contrast to the black dial while a sapphire crystal case back protects the mechanical Valjoux 7750 chronograph mechanism that keeps the time with a power reserve of 48 hours. Expected to be limited to just 500 units worldwide, you better put the pedal the metal and head to Porsche Design.

Sources indicate that one of Atlanta's most prolific and controversial developers will lay claim to a prominent piece of Midtown's western fringes, next door to Atlantic Station and IKEA. Jeff Fuqua (sound the Darth Vader music!) plans to build high-density residences, standalone houses and commercial spaces at the corner of 17th Street and Northside Drive. A few years ago, Amtrak flirted with building a new station on the vacant 12.5-acre site, and ever since, it's been one of the most sizable pieces left for development between Midtown and Howell Mill Road. The property sits at the western entrance to Atlantic Station and should allow for superb skyline views.
Early promotional materials from Fuqua Development call the project, inventively, "Northside and 17th" and promise a fall 2016 opening. Here's how they're billing it: "The project is situated at center court in a dynamic burgeoning submarket of a high-density area. The mixed-use project will contain high-density multifamily units and high-density detached single-family for-sale homes and dynamic retail and restaurants." No renderings accompany those materials yet.
Fuqua was the focus of neighborhood furor for his Glenwood Place plans near the Beltline, which called for suburban-style shopping centered, possibly, around a Walmart. When Kroger emerged as the official anchor tenant, the tempest calmed. Fuqua's company has projects in various stages of development all over town, including the mixed-use component for the Atlanta Braves' Cobb County baseball utopia. Other Fuqua mixed-use projects are slogging through the pipelines of Decatur, Lindbergh, Grant Park (next door to Glenwood Park) and various suburbs. A development in Morningside Heights is under construction.

10″x10″ acrylic on paper
This is another re-purposed old poem-painting. It’s nice to be able to riff on a piece I’d given up on years ago but kept around in my studio. This improvisation doesn’t always work, but I am interested in the process of finding out if it will—as long as I don’t attach too much to the original piece or to the new product.
Sometimes I can’t leave well enough alone and I want to add just one more color or one more shape, and I go a step too far. I wish I could say I’ve learned my lesson, but more likely I’ll continue to follow my intuition and trust (hope?) that more and more as time goes on the outcome will be pleasant!


Imposition of 4 per cent value added tax the trigger
The textile traders downed their shutters in the city on Monday in protest against the imposition of 4 per cent value added tax (VAT) on textiles in the State. The textile traders observed bandh in response to a call given by the AP Federation of Textile Association.
The cloth merchants, including Vastralatha, came on to roads raising slogans against the VAT. The merchants staged a sit-in protest in front of Vastralata in One Town. Stating that they were observing bandh for one-day, they vowed to continue their stir until the Government withdrew the GO, which imposes the VAT from July 11 (Monday).
The Cloth Merchants Association' VAT Action Committee member B. Venkata Narasimha Rao said that it was ridiculous that the Government had imposed the tax on textile merchants. The VAT on textiles was not justified and lawful.
The Government, instead, should levy the VAT at manufacturing point itself. Earlier, the Government used to levy additional excise duty on textiles on manufacturers. Now, the Central Government had done away with the additional excise duty. Subsequently, the State Government imposed the VAT.
The views of textile merchants were not taken into consideration, before issuing the GO, he said.
The State Government's move adversely affects the textile industry. It affects close to 50,000 people who were either directly or indirectly dependent on textile business in the city. More than 2,000 shop owners would have to bear the brunt due to the VAT in view of the fact that most of them were less qualified, and cannot employ staff to carry out the paper work. Hence, the government should immediately withdraw the GO, he said.
Barely 10 days ago, the Orissa Government had rolled back the VAT it had imposed on textiles, after protests from textile traders there. Action Committee members V. Ramachandra Rao, BJP Srinivas, Association president A. Prakasa Rao, general secretary Purushottam Das Kejriwal, former presidents T. Veeraiah Gupta and K. Lakshmi Narayana and others were present.

For all his literary inclinations, the young Schumann showed scant interest in song-writing. As a student in Leipzig he produced a clutch of Lieder, including five to poems by Kerner. But he spent his twenties drawing rich and fanciful new sounds from the piano; and as late as June 1839 he wrote to the composer Hermann Hirschbach: ‘All my life I have regarded vocal music as inferior to instrumental and never considered it great art.’ Yet by the end of 1840 he had composed around 140 songs, plunging himself into the new genre with characteristic feverish intensity. There are several reasons behind this apparently sudden conversion. For one thing Schumann was beginning to feel frustrated writing for the piano alone, claiming it was inhibiting his creativity; then there was the influence of Schubert, whose late songs he had studied avidly when they were published in 1838 / 9, and of his friend Mendelssohn, who urged him to try his hand at vocal music. But the chief catalyst was Clara Wieck, to whom Schumann had become secretly engaged just before her eighteenth birthday in September 1837. On a mundane, practical level the publication of songs offered financial rewards beyond anything his piano music (described by Clara as ‘too cryptic for the public’) could provide; and Schumann, anxious to impress his credentials on Clara’s implacable father, needed all the financial security he could muster. But at a more fundamental level the wonderful effusion of song in 1840 was a response to a profound emotional and psychological need. For these songs are in essence love songs to Clara, the most rapturous and intensely felt in all music. In them he could express overtly, specifically, what was covert and implied in his piano music: his passion and longing for her, his despair at their enforced separation, his vision of sexual and spiritual fulfilment and his obsessive fear of losing her.

In addition, it also lost two other DLs in the off-season who would have figured prominently in the two-deep, one to a knee injury and another to academics. The linebackers return some stars in juniors Justin London and Spencer Havner. The backfield took a big hit when cornerback Matt Ware bypassed his senior year for the NFL. In other words, UCLA's defense, which has been its stalwart for the last couple of years, is a bit of a mystery heading into 2004. Some new names, like JC transfer DE Kyle Morgan, JR DT C.J. Niusulu and possibly JR CB Nnamdi Ohaeri will have to pick up the slack. There is talent, but depth in the front seven is thin, so staying healthy for the defense is key.
Special Teams Overview: UCLA returns one of the best kicking duos in the conference, with senior punter Chris Kluwe, who averaged 42.9 yards per punt, and sophomore placekicker Justin Medlock, who was 14-of-19 for the season. UCLA did well returning kicks and punts, with Maurice Drew exhibiting some flair for kick-off returns. It did struggle, though, in punt return coverage, something the coaching staff has indicated in the off-season it will try to rectify.
The Bruins can win eight games this season if... it can get more production out of its offense, particularly its offensive line. UCLA's offense was considered very conservative a season ago and Cable is expected to spice things up a bit, hopefully able to do so with better OL play. The thin defense will have to avoid injury, especially to its front seven. UCLA's schedule also is pretty favorable, with no non-conference opponents that would conceivably be top 25 teams.

Not that many years ago, Jessica Simpson was making hit records, starring in movies, and dominating gossip headlines as one of the hottest celebs around.
Now? She’s posting Twitter videos of herself jamming candles in her ear.
You’ve probably stopped reading already, but if you’re still around, this took place after Ken Paves told her putting a lit candle in her ear removes ear wax.
Ken is Jessica’s BFF and hair stylist. He also has the most annoying laugh we’ve ever heard … seriously, Kendra Wilkinson has just been dethroned there.
The funniest part? Jessica moaning like crazy. Is it because it’s uncomfortable, or because the exploration of her ear with a warm, waxy substance just …
Okay, that’s enough. If you really have nothing better to do, watch it:


Melinda (Molly) Ritchie is an assistant professor of political science at the University of California, Riverside. Her research interests include American political institutions, U.S. Congress, bureaucratic politics, and the impact of separation of powers on policymaking. Her research has appeared or is forthcoming in Political Behavior, the Journal of Politics, Legislative Studies Quarterly, and the American Journal of Political Science.
She was previously a postdoctoral scholar at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions at Vanderbilt University. Her Ph.D. is from the Department of Political Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and she received a B.A. in Government from Smith College in 2006. Prior to her graduate studies, she worked in Washington, DC as a legislative assistant for a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
While at CSDP, Molly will be completing her book project, Back-Channel Policymaking: Congress, the Bureaucracy, and Inter-Branch Representation. The central argument is that members of Congress strategically use informal, direct communication with administrative agencies in order to influence policy, allowing legislators to circumvent constraints within the legislative process and their constituencies. The book project includes analysis of thousands of interactions between members of Congress and federal agencies using an original data set constructed with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) records.

A Visit to the Glenville School
in Greenwich, Connecticut
A Visit to the Berkeley Carroll School
in Brooklyn, New York
In conjunction with my children's books, I am available for school visists. Below are two of the programs I have done in various schools. Contact me for more information.. I am now also available by Skype for out of town visits, without the cost of transportation!
Figuring out Fractions
After reading my book, Fractions in Disguise, I present some related ideas about fractions. Using a home-made "reducer", much like the one in the book, students play he part of the hero and fraction collector as they try to figure out how to see through the disguise and reduce the fraction.
Playing with Probability
After reading my book, A Very Improbable Story, I present some related probability challenges. Using props taken from the book (such as bags of marbles and a large box of Oatie-Woofs, a fictional dog-shaped cereal) the puzzles that are presented briefly in the book are explained in detail, and a few new ones are introduced, creating a deeper understanding of probability (and magical cats). Best for grades two through six.
How Did It Get to be a Book? ( Be the Illustrator!)
The children are read (before I arrive) a few sections of one of the books, without being shown any illustrations, and they are asked to envision what the illustrations would look like. They are asked to pick a section they like and illustrate it.
When I come, I read them a section from my original, typewritten manuscript of either that same book or another. I explain that when I wrote the book, this is what I sent to the editor. I then walk them through the proces of making those pages into the final book, from editing (I show a copy with editor's comments), to initial pencil illustrations (also shown), to inked and/or colored illustrations, to a galley of it all put together, to finally a published version. I ask them questions about how what they envisioned was or was not like what they saw in the end.
One of the most exciting things about this program is it makes the process of creating books seem not just interesting, but possible. It inspires the children in their own writing and illustrating.

Even though I’m an earth tones kind of gal, I love what a cool neutral can do for a room. Grey (or gray, depending on how you want to spell it) is very popular and is great for adding a touch of sophistication, elegance and calm to a room. These bloggers show that adding a touch of grey can also be an affordable DIY project! Check them out–links are below the pictures.

The Ford GT '02 (also known as Ford GT Concept '02 and Ford GT40) is a concept car produced by Ford. It first appears in Gran Turismo Concept, and has returned in every main game since, with the exception of Gran Turismo Sport.
There are two colors to choose from for this car, both of which are unnamed in the games:
- White (with blue stripes)
- Yellow (with black stripes)
"The legendary car that achieved 4 Le Mans wins in the 1960s makes a comeback with modern-day specs."
Ford's GT40 is arguably the greatest American race car ever. It accomplished remarkable feats, most notably winning four consecutive 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance races beginning in 1966. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Ford Motor Company, it was decided to resurrect this legendary machine as a modern road car. The Ford GT Concept was born.
The car's styling was heavily influenced by the look of the classic 1960's GT40, but underneath the sheet metal was a boatload of modern technology, including HID headlights. Also, in contrast to the twin-tube aluminum monocoque frame of the original, the new Ford GT adopted an aluminum spaceframe. The suspension system consisted of double-wishbones at all four corners. The engine came in the form of a supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8 that produced 500 HP mounted amidship. A 6-speed manual transmission managed power to the rear wheels.
The dashboard was also designed with a retro flavor, featuring old-fashioned toggle switches reminiscent of the GT40. The GT Concept was such a hit that Ford decided to produce the car. The production version made its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in 2002, with power boosted to 550 HP. In the summer of 2004, the first cars were delivered to customers.
The player can unlock this car by winning a Professional Level race at Tahiti Maze.
The player can unlock this car by completing the lesson #39 in the Driving School area.
This car can only be won by winning Tsukuba Wet Race on Hard. It's not for sale in the Ford dealership.
This car can be purchased for 1,000,000 Credits.
As a Standard car, the Ford GT '02 can be purchased from the Used Car Dealership for 999,064 Credits. It is a Level 13 car.
This car can be purchased for 1,000,000 Credits. It is a simplified car.
- In Gran Turismo 4, this car cannot be sold, only discarded from the garage.

Gauge convertible concrete sleepers would not have reduced the train speeds if only the broad gauge rails were installed, the restricted speeds for broad gauge operations only apply if the standard gauge rail is installed for dual gauge operations, if the boffins at VR could show some foresight all sleeper replacements would be gauge convertible sleepers if preparation for the time when conversion to standard gauge is warranted.
Meanwhile, Ballarat to Ararat won't be going SG anytime soon with 10000s of sleepers now of the BG concrete variety.
It's important to realise that dual guage sleepers would have reduced the speed of trains to 100Km/h or worst case, 80Km/h.
Dual gauge sleepers and gauge convertible concrete sleepers are two different beasts.
DG sleepers are designed for permanent use on dg track sections which in Victoria currently allow line speed for sg trains, and 80kmh for bg trains, however it is understood VLP has proposed 100kmh on the currently planned dg track section Maryborough - Ballarat for bg trains.
Gauge convertible sleepers have two sets of fittings for affixing the rail on one side. In the Victorian application of bg/sg variation such sleepers should be used for all Victorian tie renewal works on all regional lines as of now. Then when one needs to standardize the line one just moves the rail inwards onto the second set of fixings.
The marginal cost involved in using gauge convertible sleepers now is marginal like a $ 1 or so extra cost per sleeper.
In the case of passenger/freight lines VLP should be using low profile gauge convertible sleepers which are readily available from Austrak (BUT to date V/Line has refused to even trial them), and on freight only lines gauge convertible steel sleepers which VLP also refuses to show any interest in using - albeit they have been hugely successful on NSW regional freight lines, and by ARTC recently between Yarrawonga and Oaklands.
So in the case of Wendouree - Ararat which will be ultimately standardized medium term it has just been sheer shortsightedness coupled with poor VLP attitude to gauge convertible low profile concrete sleepers that only low profile bg concrete have gone in - ultimately all these will have to be pulled out at much greater cost than the incremental extra cost of putting in the gauge convertible variant now, first up.


Ever since the iPhone 4S has been launched by Apple number of users are reporting that iPhone 4S battery barely lasts for even one day which is even less than iPhone 4. However the specifications of iPhone 4S says some thing contrary to the performance therefore something within the software functionality is wrong which as been rightly spotted by iDb that Location Services Bug is the culprit.
It’s the Apple’s “Setting Time Zone” feature linked with Location Services Bug which kills the iPhone 4S’s battery,
It appears that iOS 5′s GM release introduced a bug that causes the Setting Time Zone function to keep the location tracking circuitry running constantly, draining battery power considerably. Switching it off may mean that your iPhone will no longer set its own time zone when you travel, but that’s a small price to pay for having your iPhone last more than 12 hours on a full charge. We have tested this method on 4 different iPhone 4s handsets, including an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3GS. All have reported drastically improved battery life after switching ‘Setting Time Zone’ off.
You can simply access the Settings menu on your iPhone 4S and goto System Services > Location Services to switch Setting Time Zone to Off. This change significantly inceases the battery life which has been confiedm by many iPhone 4S users. You can stick to this method till Apple releases iOS 5 minor update.

TIMELESS FURNITURE, TEXTILES, AND DETAILS
By CHRISTIANE LEMIEUX
Foreword by Miles Redd4
With a foreword by Miles Redd, this luxurious decorating resource trains the eye to recognize enduring, quality home goods and to use them to dazzling design effect.
Quality matters. Just as a home’s foundation should be built to stand the test of time, so, too, should the furniture, objects, and elements of our rooms speak to an enduring sense of beauty and comfort. They should outlast trends and our loving day-to-day use. But how does one recognize quality and judge whether something is well made?
An internationally acclaimed interior design sensation, Miles Redd is known for his quirky brand of cozy glamour. This lavishly illustrated volume features a diverse selection of his unique interiors, an inspiration to anyone interested in spirited, eclectic design. Excerpt from Introduction:
“This is a book about dreams coming true; the curiosities in the rooms I have decorated; and the people, artists, and places that have inspired me. When all is said and done and I am long forgotten, maybe someone will find this book in a dusty library—if such a thing still exists—and glimpse a bit of the pleasure my life has given me. I want them to have the sensation of dancing across an MGM soundstage, silhouetted in a klieg light, because that was my intention with this book, a very personal blend of work and fantasy.”
