What are double glazed windows?
Over the years, the idea of insulation for home in Singapore has gotten more advanced and easier to do. In the past, there were many different styles of insulating your windows to keep in the air in your house, making for a more energy efficient place to live. It was common before to have double-hung windows or storm windows that would need to be removed, but now it is more likely to see double glazed windows in houses.
The idea behind double glazed windows is that the insulation is actually two, or sometimes three, panes of glasses that are separated only by vacuum sealed gas between each one. These are then put into the frame of the window, and sealed in. This type of window helps create a near unbreakable window in your house, and one that will need specialized care when installing and repairing them.
Why hire our Handyman to handle your double glazed window?
Double glazed window repair can be pretty tricky, considering that there is pressurized gas inside of the window, at Handyman Singapore, our double glazed window specialist should be the one to take care of it. You do not want to cause any extra trouble for your window that is not necessarily needed. This is where a window repair service will come in handy in helping you out. We specializes in putting these types of windows in and repairing them and are the best person to call when you need to do any type of repair. We will be there to safely remove the glass and put the new pane in the window frame. This cuts down on any other damages to the window and frame, and save you time and effort of having to try and do it yourself. That is just not possible. Leave it all to the experts in this case. call us now!

Note: This interior review was created when the 2007 Buick Lucerne was new.
Reviewers are largely impressed by the Lucerne's interior. The Detroit News calls it "roomy and comfortable," descriptors that appear in review after review. "If you need a large sedan, the Lucerne can do a very good job of carrying adult passengers in comfort and relative luxury," About: Cars advises. Forbes puts it in practical terms: "Five adults, or six with the optional third seat up front, can ride in complete comfort with sufficient trunk space for their belongings."
Describing the interior as "fresh and appealingly minimalist," Car and Driver explains, "The shapes are smooth and soft. The details are happily integrated, like a deftly done symphony. No pretentious gestures grab for your glance. The three round dials in the cluster have understated markings. Big knobs with radiused chrome edges work the stereo, HVAC, and lights. The steering-wheel controls for cruise and entertainment are unobtrusive yet, at the same time, large and exceptionally easy to use." "Easily used controls are a relief from the increasingly complex ones and overdone dashboards in high-line cars," argues MSN. "Even the ignition switch is put high on the steering column so it's easy to reach without groping."
Some reviewers note inconsistency when it comes to interior fit and finish. Consumer Guide says, "[c]abin materials mostly of high quality, but a few lightweight plastic panels seem out of place." Edmunds also remarks on the "inconsistent build quality". Kelley Blue Book only has positive things to say, "The highly refined interior fits are tight; materials and finishes are premium with excellent attention to detail."
Up front, "passengers are granted excellent overall dimensions," according to Automobile.com, "and the seat bottom length and width will accommodate butts and thighs of all sizes." Cars.com likes that "the front seats have enough side bolstering to hold occupants firmly in place during quick corners."
Reviewers do have a few complaints about the cockpit. Car and Driver's gripe involves the steering column: "You'll have to live with GM's ancient tilt column that gives only five positions over a wide angle range; choose between not quite right or hopeless." About.com writes, "The Lucerne has the oddest driving position I've encountered in a long while. The steering wheel and dash were so far away from me that I was reminded of riding in my grandfather's lap while he drove his 1962 Cadillac."
A look into the backseat and "there's no denying the Lucerne is roomy," says MSN. Edmunds finds that "cushioning and legroom are equally abundant in the backseat," but is "puzzled by the absence of adjustable head restraints." The Auto Channel draws attention to "a sizable 'transmission hump' " that "forces the center passenger to ride with his knees just under his chin."
"Standard features are plenty," says Edmunds. On the CX, they include air-conditioning, an audio system with in-dash CD player, power windows, a six-way-adjustable driver's seat, and remote keyless entry. The CXL gets a dual-zone climate control system, wood and chrome accents, and leather seats, among other upgrades. The top-of-the-line CXS has such standard features as a sport steering wheel with cruise and audio controls, and unique seating and trim. U.S. News' Rick Newman points out something that bothered a few reviewers: "The power windows are only auto-down, and only in the front. How about up/down all around? It seems a little cheap to call this a luxury car but then cut corners such as this."
An optional Entertainment Package (standard on CXS) adds a 280-watt Harman/Kardon stereo system and XM satellite radio. An audio system with MP3 capability is also available.
An optional Luxury Package (not available for CX, standard on CXS) includes a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated eight-way-adjustable power seats for the driver and passenger, lumbar support, and memory presets for two drivers. The Driver Confidence Package includes rear parking assist, heated washer fluid, a remote starter system, and an alarm. The Boston Globe thinks this package should be supplemented or renamed, asking, "We can't be confident without it?"
A sunroof can be added to the CXL or CXS. It's what isn't offered, however, that reviewers most frequently mention. "Common near luxury items like full one-touch windows, a split fold-down rear seat and either a telescoping steering wheel or power-adjustable pedals aren't available," complains Edmunds. "Nor are HID headlights, adaptive cruise control or Bluetooth wireless capability." "I'm disappointed that you can't get adjustable pedals or a rear-seat DVD entertainment system," claims the Detroit News. Autoweb ventures, "The absence of options like a navigation system will have potential buyers heading for the nearest Chrysler or Toyota dealer."
Even though the Lucerne's interior is spacious, and even though, as Car and Driver surmises, "Sasquatch will approve of the Buick's wide-opening rear doors," cargo space is limited because the rear seat does not fold down. An opening accessible through the armrest allows for long, narrow objects to pass into the sizable trunk, which can easily accommodate a family's luggage.

Flowering of Scabiosa caucasia (caucasian scabious)
A detailed photographic study of floral development
Caucasian scabious is sometimes known by the name 'ladies pincushion'. This is due to the fact that after the anthers have been shed and the filaments of the stamens have withered the carpels (pistils) grow longer and resemble the pattern of sewing needles in a pinchsion.
A range of sequential floral development stages is indicated by the red letters. These are explained and illustrated in detail later. Flowers marked B show the beginning of enlargement of the outer florets. C shows the beginning of pigmentation in the outer florets. In D the outer rings of florets have opened. In E all of the florets are open the anthers have been shed and the carpels are extending. The asynchrony of flower development is clearly shown.
Early Development
During early development, this flower does not seem to be at all interesting when examined at a distance. However, when examined in closeup there are intriguing accessory structures around each flower bud. There are long filamentous structures called pappus bristles and hairy green triangular looking green structures called phyllaries (singular phyllary). The pappus bristles have an important function in the formation of the fruiting body, which will be illustrated at the end of this account. In early flower development, I speculate that they might have another function in early development such as playing a part in flower organisation and also and offering some form of protection. The phyllary is a modified leaf (or bract). Clearly, they could also play a protective function since the hairs that emerge from them are quite extensive.

by Rev. Terence Groth
Early every fall a milestone event takes place all across America: Mothers send their children off to the first day of school. For some pupils this is a partial day in preschool or kindergarten. For others, it is a full day as a first-grader. For still others, it is the first day of life as a young adult, beginning college many miles from home.
This event can be traumatic, and it is always a faith venture for both parent and child. The story of Hannah and Samuel from the Old Testament reminds us that in this activity God is at work, caring for His children and accomplishing His good purposes.
Parents and children can be encouraged that God has been acting in their lives to bring His blessings long before the first day of school. For what did Hannah pray, and how did God answer her prayer? Read 1 Sam. 1:11, 20.
As difficult as it must have been, Hannah kept her promise and dedicated her young son to God to be His life-long servant. She commended Samuel into the care of the priest Eli at the tabernacle. But first, Hannah had three or more years during which she nursed Samuel at home, and introduced him to his God. Hannah's prayer on the day of her dedication of Samuel at the tabernacle shows her to be a mother of deep faith and well-formulated theology. What does her prayer (1 Sam. 2:1–10) express about the following topics?
God (vv. 2, 3b):
Creation (v. 8c):
Providence (vv. 8a, b, 9):
Death and resurrection (v. 6):
Judgment (v. 10b):
Messiah/anointed (v. 10c.):
Through Hannah's nurturing of Samuel and his training with Eli, God worked a growing faith-life in young Samuel. How is that expressed in the following passages?
1 Sam. 1:28:
1 Sam. 2:26:
1 Sam. 3:19–21:
Samuel grew into the leader and prophet whom God used powerfully to rescue Israel from her enemies (1 Sam. 7:2–17) and to select and anoint Israel's first kings, Saul (1 Sam. 10:20–25) and David (1 Sam. 16:1–13). The latter became the ancestor whose descendant, Jesus of Nazareth, was the ultimate fulfillment of Hannah's prayer. In fact, Jesus' mother may well have modeled her prayer of praise for her son after Hannah's (cf. Luke 1:46–55).
Like Samuel, Jesus "grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men" (Luke 2:52 NIV). Like Samuel, Jesus rescued God's people from their enemies—this time, the ultimate enemies of death and the devil (Col. 2:15; Heb. 2:14–15; 1 John 3:8). But far greater than those Samuel anointed as kings, Jesus was anointed by His Father to rule over heaven and earth. He rules eternally over all who trust in the forgiveness He won as He reigned from the cross (Col. 1:15–20).
What a mighty chain of saving events God set in motion as He moved Hannah to bring her little son for his first of many days in God's school! What blessings will God work through all the Samuels whose mothers bring them for their first day of school this year? The school bell calls us to prayer and joyful expectation!

Campaign Overview
Interestingly enough, Kaepernick hasn't been featured in any of Nike's display, mobile, or social creatives. Considering Nike's digital playbook includes a good portion of social advertising, it's surprising Kaepernick wasn't splashed across those creatives.
Here's a look at the top Facebook creatives over the last week.
Time will tell if Nike will continue Kaepernick's presence over into their other digital ads.
Digital Snapshot
Over the past twelve months, Nike's digital advertising strategy has favored Facebook mobile – accounting for just over half of their digital spend. While video represents a quarter of their budget, the Kaepernick ad is Nike's top creative by spend for the year.
Compared to competitors like Adidas, Nike is focusing more on social while Adidas has been spending on video. Year-to-date, Adidas has spent nearly 50% more on digital advertising but Nike is still leading by spend and impressions on Facebook mobile.
We'll keep an eye out to see if Kaepernick's likeness spreads into more of Nike's digital advertising creatives as the season goes on. Are you surprised that he's not already in more digital ads?

Best practices in interviewing Selenium QA Tester obviously include the questions about Selenium best practices for web application testing. For example QA Manager could ask about best practices fort creating Selenium WebDriver instances. Should all test cases use a single WebDriver instance or should every test case create a new WebDriver instance?
Selenium QA Tester with a practical experience most likely would answer that reusing WebDriver instances between test case will save time when using ChromeDriver, InternetExplorerDriver, FirefoxDriver, OperaDriver drivers, but provides almost no time benefits for HtmlUnitDriver. In the same time one of the testing goals is to have reproducible tests and keeping WebDriver running between test cases may provide side-effects. The recommendation would be to create a new WebDriver instance for every test execution. In this case each test case would be executed independently from any other test case.
Here QA Tester can find Selenium interview questions with examples. I started to put together and continuously update interview question for Selenium WebDriver test automation tool. This Interview questions were asked during real QA interviews for Selenium QA Automation Engineer position in the leading companies. I believe that any QA Engineer, no matter seasoned one or novice one, would greatly benefits from this collection Selenium interview questions and tips. If you are plan to attend an interview you need to know the answers on these questions by heart. I provided answers on several technical interview questions, but you have to think how you would personally answer these questions. Finally, I would ask anyone of you to provide answers on unanswered Selenium interview question, so we all would benefit from this knowledge sharing and it would help us to land on Selenium QA Automation Engineer job and work successfully. If you were asked the interview question that is not in the list, post it with your answer.

Genieve Figgis: Yes Captain
Harper's Books is pleased to announce a highly anticipated exhibition of recent work by Irish painter Genieve Figgis, titled Yes Captain. The show will open with a reception with the artist on Saturday, July 5, from 6:00 to 8:00pm, and will be on view in the main level and mezzanine galleries through August 6. Featuring work created earlier this year, the display will include a selection of acrylic and oil paintings executed in vibrant color on both board and canvas. While Figgis has been honored with solo exhibitions in Europe, this will mark the first public presentation of her work in the United States.
Painting at the intersection between abstraction and portraiture, Figgis unites an abiding interest in history with a penchant for the macabre. As critic David Rimanelli notes, "the figures populating Genieve Figgis' paintings emanate from some luminescent netherworld, suspended between life and death, or living life and death or life through death in a land of the willingly lost, enchanted and menacing by turns." Laden with both humor and anxiety, her work is at once wrought with emotional intensity and haunted by psychological deviance, rooted in her ethereal caricatures of genteel society gone awry.
Incorporating sourced imagery of royalty from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Figgis engages in an ongoing dialogue with the court painter tradition, exploring the absurdity of history and power dynamics — subjects deeply related to her Irish heritage — through depictions of English aristocracy, grandiose architecture, and baroque fashion. By means of her distinctly anti-academic aesthetic, which features motifs that are, at turns, psychedelic and grotesque, Figgis' work implies a sense of distrust in authority figures and accepted dogmas, instead relegating them to a place of ridicule and farce.
Indicative of current trends in communication, in which social media has the power to engender changes in public perception, Figgis' induction into the American art scene was largely through the Internet, where she first gained recognition in New York circles on Twitter and Instagram. Through her autonomous self-promotion and resoundingly positive public reception, Figgis has acquired a reputation as a rising talent in contemporary art, whose unique style has garnered the attention of notable collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide.
A native of Dublin, Ireland, Figgis has exhibited extensively since completing her BFA and MFA degrees at The National College of Art and Design. During the past two years, she has contributed work to group shows at Flood Gallery in Dublin, Angell Gallery in Toronto, and Mall Galleries in London, and has been featured in solo shows at Transition Gallery in London, Talbot Gallery in Dublin, and Studio 9 in Wexford. In fall 2014, Half Gallery will organize a solo exhibition of her work in New York. She is currently represented by Fulton Ryder.
Genieve Figgis: Yes Captain will coincide with the release of the artist's first book, Making Love with the Devil, published by Fulton Ryder and featuring an essay by David Rimanelli.

Gardoumia is a special meze from lamb intestines that is made on the island of Naxos, just like in Crete; besides, the strong connections between the two islands are well-known. Meze holds a special place in the Greek culinary tradition and could be described as an appetizer, a treat to share with friends in a relaxed environment.
Gardoumia is a popular dish among mountain and pastoral farming/shepherds' communities where meat eating prevails. Although roasted meat is regarded as the king in their nutrition culture with meat dishes being offered on occasions of both joy and pain, on anniversaries and religious festivals, on weddings and baptisms, intestines and offal are equally coveted and highly regarded dishes.
Intestines and offal make exquisite mezedes (kokoretsi – a rotisserie offal and intestine sausage, frygadelia – liver wrapped in caul fat that is cooked over coals on a skewer, gardoumbes – tiny little intestines) and have been prepared since ancient times throughout the Greek word of that time.
In his work 'The Knights' Aristophanes wrote: "Τα έντερα των τετραπόδων χορδάς καλούσι, χορδή γαρ εστί το λεπτόν έντερον, ό ειώθασι πλέκειν οι μάγειροι", in English "The intestines of the animals with four legs are called stripes, stripes are the thin intestines that cooks used to braid".
Gardoumia can be prepared in three different ways: roasted in a pan (sautéed and boiled), cooked over hot coals or oven-roasted.
In all three versions, the lamb's stomach chopped into thin pieces, sweetbread and small intestines are used for the stuffing which is always wrapped with the intestine.
Before cooking, thorough washing of the intestines is indispensable. Then, the intestines are placed in a large bowl with water, lemon and vinegar to eliminate their characteristic smell. After these steps, the intestines are ready to be braided. Note that the cooking method, the stuffing and dimensions of the gardoumia (thin, thick, small, large) are on the cook and the hostess to decide.
Gardoumia (called gardoumbes in the other regions of Greece) are eaten mostly during Easter. Nevertheless, on the island of Naxos, it is a treat year-round, in the face of the European directives passed forbidding their consumption.

There was a time when I shied away from high end skincare and make up brands for the simple reason that I can't afford to maintain such luxury. My curiosity eventually got the best of me and I gave in to Clinique.
I have to say that even if I did my first expensive single purchase in terms of skincare and makeup, I actually got more than I paid for. I can't remember if it was during Clinique bonus time but I was asked to make a minimum single reciept purchase and got a whole lot of freebies! Hmmm.. Sounds like bonus time to me.
Anyway, I bought the derma white brightening loose powder together with this..
|Clinique all about eyes serum 15ml (Php 1,800)
"Ophthalmologist Tested. Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free.
Instantly cools, brightens. Combats puffiness, dark circles. Refreshing mini massage hydrates too. Layerable with other eye treatments."
Clinique all about eyes serum comes in a 15 ml tube with an easy grip. It has a roller ball type dispenser which effectively delivers just the right amount of product.
It has the consistency of a thin serum and appears transparent. It gives immediate cooling effect upon application and has a mild formula that doesn't sting or irritate your under eye area. It also works well with all skin types.
I've been using this on and off for over a year and though consistency is required for best results, this serum still worked wonders for me. I still have puffiness under my eyes but they seem to look lighter and easier to conceal.
I do recommend this to friends and will replenish if it runs out which I believe won't be anytime soon.

It's spam, just as in e-mail. The spammers are hoping that you'll be less likely to delete the links if they say nice things. You should be like Socrates in the Gorgias, though, and have no mercy for flattery.

If you're referring to my comment the other day - it was gushy, I'll admit, but I am not advertising anything! For some reason your blog that day just provoked this gushy and somewhat vague response in me. I am a long-time reader and admirer of your blog. And I am a real person!

Tim, I am suitably chastened! I was in fact not referring to you, but to a whole lot of such comments that end with a link to something or other. This modern world is really weird. I am accustomed to seeing and hearing the people I am talking with. I guess that just shows how old fashioned I am. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go out back to the outhouse, and then get a block of ice for my icebox. :)

Ah, OK. At any rate, scepticism about what people are saying to you online is warranted and sensible..

You shouldn't keep your icebox in the outhouse. That's unsanitary, that is.

The first time I got one of those, I fell for it and replied politely. Then a fellow blogger set me straight. Ways to deal with the freeloaders are: (1) delete, delete, delete (which gets boring); (2) make people jump through hoops to leave comments (which discourages many of them; (3) tighten your spam filter. Look under Posts and Comments in the section called Settings. Spammers are an aggravation, and who needs more aggravation?
(I gushed over your blog to the friend who originally sent me a link, but you'll never know what we said in our e-mail!)

I confirm that these types of spam comments is one of the usual pitfalls of blogging.
- May 14, 2012 at 8:01 PM
- Superfluous Man said...
Be careful of clicking on the links too. You could be sent to a virus or rootkit trap that could do damage to your computer. The best way to check an internet address put up by one of these spammers is to put it in google. That will tell you what they're peddling if that's what they're doing and allow you to make an informed decision about whether to delete it. But I'd be wary of clicking on any old link. I've gotten viruses and rootkits that way.

Even little ole me gets these gushy things on my blog. According to my computer guru, these gushy (and they are, generally, quite general) as in "That was great!" - are efforts to get their web site linked to another web site of substance. Not sure how you handle comments, but I just refuse to accept them as legitimate commentary. In my case, they seem to come in bunches!!

|December 27, 2012 09:53 AM
|Senator Stewart J. Greenleaf
|All Senate members
|Task Force on the Prevention of Violence
|On December 11th I circulated a cosponsorship memo for the reintroduction of Senate Resolution 8 of last session. Senate Resolution 8 directs the Joint State Government Commission to establish an advisory committee to review proposals that address the issue of violent crime. It gives the advisory committee two years to report back to the Senate. Many of you have signed on to this resolution as cosponsors and I appreciate your support on this issue.
This memo is to provide you with notice that I am changing the format of the study, expanding the focus of the study, and shortening the time for completion of the study. Many of you have been circulating cosponsorship memos for legislation that further restricts access to firearms. These proposals are understandable given the terrible tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and other mass shootings in recent months and years. However, it is my belief that further regulation of firearms is only part of the issue. Firearms are not the cause of violence; they are the instrument that is used. Ironically Connecticut has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation but those laws did not prevent the Sandy Hook school tragedy.
I am revising Senate Resolution 8 so that when it is reintroduced it will establish a Task Force on the Prevention of Violence to study the underlying causes of mass shootings and other violent crimes. There are some common themes in many of these cases; mental illness and a history of being bullied are often involved. So, in addition to looking at the gun regulation proposals that are being introduced, I believe that we must look at proposals to strengthen our mental health laws so that people receive treatment before they commit criminal acts and we must see if there is more that we can do to combat bullying including cyberbullying.
Additional restrictions on firearms is not a failsafe solution to these tragedies, we must investigate other practices and policies that will prevent violent crime. Of course, the task force is not restricted from looking at other steps that we can take to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and people with severe mental illness.
Because this a multipronged issue, I believe that the task force proposal makes sense. The Task Force on the Prevention of Violence will be similar to the legislation that established the Task Force on Child Protection in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal. The task force will be composed of experts on the subject of preventing violence and in addressing issues such as mental illness and bullying. They will be asked to report back to the General Assembly in a matter of months so that the General Assembly may consider the task force's report and recommendations later in 2013. I am confident that the Joint State Government Commission will do the same admirable job staffing the Task Force on the Prevention of Violence as it did for the child protection task force.
Because of our new system for cosponsorship memos, if you have already signed on as a cosponsor for the reintroduction of Senate Resolution 8 and you would like to cosponsor the revised resolution, please feel free to respond to this memo by joining me in sponsoring the revised resolution. If you have not yet cosponsored the reintroduction of Senate Resolution 8 and like this new approach, I welcome your support and hope that you will respond to this new memo. In the meantime if you have any suggestions regarding the resolution and task force, please feel free to contact my office.

As we sat in fuego's apartment wrapping up supper and getting ready to leave on our trip, fuego said, "dang, we've still got a lot to do today." With the plane leaving well after dark, it felt like we had an extra day's worth of stuff to do, even after running around all day getting ready to travel. Soon we were on our way, however, lugging luggage through the metro system, spending an extra buck-fifty for the express airport bus (we weren't quite sure the other bus was running that late on christmas eve), and losing a few toiletries to the new "no fluids" rule (MaK maintained that they were not fluid, so the security people produced illustrated cards prepared for just such an occasion, which of course did nothing to placate MaK, resulting in the entire check-in process grinding to a halt. This would have been a problem, but there were only thirteen passengers going through the security for that gate.), we were ready to fly.
I was a bit surprised to see the plane getting the de-ice treatment before takeoff, but I agreed with the pilot that it's better safe than sorry. The only drawback was that if the plane was late reaching Cork we might not be able to score our rental car, which would complicate things greatly. The flight was uneventful, as flights usually are these days, and we made up for the lost time, went quickly through customs, and found the guy waiting for us at the car rental place. Thus armed with a four-door instrument of death with the steering wheel on the wring side, we made our way into Cork town proper. I was navigating, fuego was steering, and MaK was cowering in the back seat. Things went pretty smoothly, but as navigator I was a little dismayed that we didn't have driving instructions to the hostel where we would be staying. What we had were walking instructions from the bus station.
Fortunately there are lots of arrows on the roads telling drivers which direction each lane is heading. fuego piloted well, although the windshield wipers got a good workout — the lever for the turn signals is on the other side of the steering wheel. Suddenly we discovered ourselves to be right next to the bus station. Bickety-bam, up and around on some narrow streets and there we were. We unpacked the car and as we were hauling all our crap into the hotel a kid loitering outside wished us a Merry Christmas. Loudly. We replied in kind (only more quietly), and I wondered if that was going to the last we were going to hear from him.
We checked in, and were informed that although the reservation was for three, it was actually for a double room and another bed in a dorm. Naturally married couple got the double room and I got pot luck. It didn't bother me much; I could leave my stuff in the more secure room and just crash in the dorm. After a supper of bread and cheese (there was nothing open at that time on Christmas Eve, however MaK brought a variety of cheeses and breads so we were in no danger of starving) and the traditional Czech Slivovice Christmas toast, I made my way to my room. I figured I'd either be the jerk who comes in last and wakes everyone else up, or I'd be the first one there and all the other jerks would wake me up.
It turns out I was somewhere in the middle. I came in as quietly as I could, and there was enough light to see by so I found my bunk and settled in. As I lay in the darkness I heard a faint beeping from somewhere nearby, then heard someone listening to their voice mail. More beeping, and then the room fell silent once more, until a few minutes later when the same phone announced the arrival of a text message. Not long later another arrived, at which point at least the phone's owner turned off the sound. There was then a short whispered conversation between the phone's owner and her friend, and the two girls said goodnight. Across the room a male voice grunted a good night as well. The room fell silent. Outside I heard a nearby church chime the quarter hour and realized it was now officially Christmas.
"Faith," whispered one of my roommates some time later, pronouncing the name as two syllables: Fae-aeth, "don't forget the candle." After a pause one of the girls that had whispered previously climbed off her bunk, which squeaked loudly, and blew out a candle on the windowsill. She returned to her bunk, was inspired to type out another message, and the room was quiet once more. It felt final.
Meanwhile, outside the window, Loud Merry Christmas Kid had been joined by several friends, and they continued laughing and bickering into the night.
I lay in the darkness, wondering if my roommates would be getting up as early as I did. I wondered what they looked like and I imagined the possibility of even talking to them. I imagined that this might be a good way for me to travel, to put myself into situations where conversation is nearly automatic. I thought about the breakfast room in the morning, and about how I might meet some of my fellow guests there.
I was relieved when the loud people outside finally fell silent. The pleasure was short-lived, however, when at least some of them came into my room. They tried to be quiet, but (presumably) drunk young folks still have things to whisper and giggle about, and it was a long time before things settled down once more. My fantasy about traveling from hostel to hostel, staying in the dorms, and writing about it was quickly eroding. Instead, I decided to let my alarm go off just a little longer than necessary in the morning. So much for conviviality.
The last person to arrive was the one sleeping in the bunk directly over mine. As with the others, he tried to be quiet, but the climb was difficult for him. Eventually he made it up and he settled in and quickly fell asleep. I know he was asleep because he was snoring. Twice I've been in a Hostel dorm, and both times it was my job to roll over and disturb the Snoring Guy whenever things got too loud.
Overall, the first night in Ireland was not a restful one; really just a layover between air and car travel, and not the true start of the adventure. Christmas morning came far too soon, and in the darkness I put myself together and went down for breakfast. By that point I had no illusions that any of my roommates would be showing themselves before we were long gone. Even had they been there I would not have been able to recognize them, except perhaps by voice. I will never meet Faith and her Irish friend, never speak with any of the others about adventures past and future. They are whispered voices in the night, formless, faceless, and fleeting. Not to mention annoying.

Recently, two quintessential American Brands, McDonald's and Coca-Cola, have made headlines with their struggles to turnaround sluggishness in the key US market. While McDonald's has gotten most of the ink, the folks at Coke are facing the same primary issue: what appears to be a fundamental change in consumer consumption habits. In so many ways, they can't just show up any longer, and expect folks to throw money at them. How did it get to...

text: SignHealth, Deaf Child Worldwide, and Uganda National Deaf Association aim to transform the way that Deaf young people access sexual and reproductive health information through training peer leaders, health workers and educators. Most of Uganda's 160,000 Deaf children grow up with limited to no support with communication or language. They miss out on conversations and education about sexual relationships, abuse, pregnancy and HIV, because peers, teachers, and health workers can't communicate with them. This leaves them vulnerable to HIV – the second leading cause of adolescent death in Uganda. SignHealth is partnering with Amplify to provide comprehensive sexual education in three districts, combined with training in sign language and communication. The team will work with IDEO.org designers to apply insights from the youth empowerment project to their new initiative, as well as to design engaging and visual tools to communicate the content of the program to Deaf youth.

In a historic move for Downtown Harrisonburg, the city has created a new culinary district to promote and encourage cohesion within Harrisonburg's emerging foodie scene. The new district is meant as a way for both the tourism board and city patrons to identify and market restaurants and bars that have long been beloved by Harrisonburg residents. Two of Matchbox's most recent restaurant tenants, food.bar.food and Bella Luna Wood Fired Pizza, are included in this district along with the new Ice Factory.
Here at Matchbox we are thrilled to be a part of such innovative branding within our city. Stay tuned to Matchbox Downtown for more updates and exciting happenings within the Friendly City!

Main Street
Main Street
|Main Street, High Blantyre, was once a thriving Shopping Centre as can be seen by this photo. High Blantyre Co-op on the right and Gilchrist's on the left. Is that Jock Stein's cart?
|Elizabeth Weaver: Do you remember Co checks – might have been cheques, but don't think so – which were plastic tokens you could only spend at the Co? Ours were kept in a wee bowl in the living room press. Think we used them at the Co baker's van.
Your Social Comments:
|Elizabeth Weaver: Oh, the Co! Where the grocer's floor was covered in sawdust and you bought your cheese off the whole cheese, cut with wire. We had two Co numbers – ours and Grandpa's and you had to use the right one… I hated going on my own, and made myself recite the number all the way there in case I got it wrong. ( Scott 1470 and Weaver 4734, I believe.)
|Christina Frame: Elizabeth, your post Brings back so many memories, it was my Granny who shopped in the Co, my Mammy shopped in Geordie Nelson's. Wee grocery store on the other side of the road but further down. It was great when Granny got her Co rebate as it meant a new pair of shoes for me.
|Jim McDougall: Looking at High Blantyre Main Street in these old photos, then looking at the present, I know what I prefer.
|Elizabeth Weaver: You could do all your messages at the Co in those days – grocers, drapers, hardware, butchers. It's a shame isn't it? The place was so vibrant back then – it hadn't changed much by the 50's, and it was a bustling wee place. Changed days.
|Letitia Mitchell: I worked in the drapers when I left school about 1968 loved it.
|Margaret Steven McAuliffe: I used to go into the Co-op on the way home from school and buy a penny worth of broken biscuits.
|Elizabeth Weaver: I have another memory which I possibly shouldn't share… one of my Auchinraith classmates used to go with her daddy to the bakery at night so he could prepare the ovens etc. He told us to stay away from the room where he was working so we wandered around the stores where the icing sugar was kept in huge casks. Open casks. Too tempting for 7-year-olds… we were still licking our fingers when he came back. Never looked at a Co iced bun in quite the same way again.
|Ann-Marie Phillips: Thanks for sharing this photo. It's nice to see where dad grew up.
|Christina Frame: Love it
|This is Main Street, looking towards Auchinraith. Blakeley's is hidden in the picture on the left. The road leading off to the left is Broompark Road. The little huts were the Orange Hall and a garage. Today these buildings on the left are now two Chinese takeaways and the Spice Club.
|Rose Lee: Is the larger building on the left on the corner of Broompark Road, building with Blakeley's bar?
|Thomas Barrett: Yeah just before Blakeley's
|Caroline Lee: The bank on the left, which is now Chinese. Further down in 60's shop, post Office, DIY shop not sure what they were called, then think it was wood painted blue, after the end of the row chippie.
|Thomas Barrett: There was a butchers as well, Hobson's.
|Anne Mckillop: The co-op drapery was at the same side as Blakeley's
|Jim Brown: The shop on the left was Smith's electrical, one of the huts beyond was the Orange Hall. The shops in the distance were Broons (which may have been a bank) the Post Office (a taxi office as well, Hobson's butchers, a clothes shop and Bunt McStravichs chippie (Ginos)
|Rita Johnston: I was born across the road in a tenement building, 303 Main Street High Blantyre, their was a Co -op across the road where the large pole is and Blakley's Bar at the corner.
|High Blantyre Co-op, a thriving shopping centre of its time. You could do all your shopping at the Co-op in those days, as it had a grocers, drapers, hardware, butchers and bakers.
|Stephen Kelly: Is the co building in the picture where Londis is now? Or Costcutter or whatever it's called?
|Blantyre's Ain: Yes Stephen. The Co-op is now the modern Costcutter. The above houses are still there too. However, the buildings on the left side of the Co-op are long gone and are now the entrance to the wee car park, Ladbrokes, The butchers, Jinxys Bakers and Lloyds Chemist.
|Michael Mcginley: The man with the bunnet looks like he's shuffling a deck of cards.
|Elizabeth Dobson Grieve: Notice how the co-op building took up the whole length of the row. Now Costcutters just takes up a short part of it, along with the Cyber Cafe and whatever else is there.

Synopsis for "End of the Line"
A week ahead of Christmas, John Constantine and Kit Ryan are invited to John's sister Cheryl's home in Liverpool for a visit. A curt word from Cheryl sets Kit to noticing that young Gemma seems to be in trouble with her mother.
John notices the terseness too, and confronts Cheryl, who blames him from influencing Gemma badly. John doesn't know what she's on about, so she pulls out the curse board she found in Gemma's room, with a photo of another girl covered in thumbtacks. John swears that he didn't give Gemma the board. In fact, he is quite put out by the idea that Gemma would be dabbling in magic at all. He promises to help.
Later, Kit and Cheryl get acquainted, and Kit explains that as much as John might have got wrapped up in magic over the years, Cheryl and Gemma are a great comfort to him, and he wouldn't hurt them in a million years. Cheryl responds that Kit herself is a great influence on him too.
Meanwhile, John is in Gemma's room, questioning her. She admits that her friend Sandra stole a boy she liked from her at a friend's party. A boy at the party gave her the curse board, promising that Gemma could get even with it. John presses his niece to reveal the boy's name, secretly contemplating ways in which he will punish this person for daring to involve Gemma in magic. Despite fear that the boy will curse her for giving him up, Gemma responds that she was given it by a boy named Robbie Brooks. She had been about to drop blood onto the board with the photo on it when Cheryl caught her.
John worries what might have happened to Sandra and to Gemma if the girl had succeeded. Gemma bursts into tears and falls into her uncle's arms. John wonders what she was doing getting mixed up in this sort of thing, and she admits that in addition to the allure of getting revenge, there was also something exciting about being able to use magic. John knowingly realizes that Gemma is at a turning point in her life. While John decides to give this Robbie Brooks a talking to, Kit convinces him to let her talk to Gemma about the trouble with magic.
John hopes to simply give the boy a talking to and get out of there, but he is frustrated to discover that Robbie Brooks has heard of him, and thinks on him as an idol. The boy seems surprised that John would be angry that he had tried to turn his niece onto magic. Rather than try to explain his way out of his hypocrisy, John spouts a slew of Latin phrases, and claims that he has cursed the boy. Robbie is too ignorant to know that John was just spouting nonsense, but it gets the job done, and John warns him that he'll get worse if he ever goes near Gemma Masters again.
Kit, meanwhile, has taken Gemma clothes shopping, explaining that with some trendy new clothes as a Christmas present, she'll have the confidence and the look to catch any boy's eye. They have pizza together, and Kit explains to Gemma's surprise that though she lives with John, his life in the world of occultism is kept separate from their relationship. As such, she knows the real John Constantine.
Gemma doesn't realize that she knows the real John too, but Kit explains that his attempts to keep her safe and to keep her out of magic have been extensions of who he really is, outside of the magic. She points out that while John has done plenty of wild things and seen incredible stuff, the cost of that has been that many of his loved ones have experienced terrible pain. He doesn't want Gemma to ruin her life the same way that he did. Meanwhile, Kit points out that Gemma need not use magic to get even. She should stand up for herself, and if necessary, she can resort to physical violence to show that she won't take that kind of shit.
John has begun to worry whether the Constantines are doomed to become bastards and occultists. He knows of one way to get some perspective on the matter. Several years back, he discovered that one of his ancestors, Harry Constantine, had become immortal, and long ago, the Queen ordered that he be buried alive, simply to get rid of him. He had dug up that ancestor as a younger man, and it had been a bit a mess. Now, he heads to an old grave yard near the seashore where he reburied Harry, and digs him up once again. Twenty years back, when he dug Harry up, he had thought he could defy his own heritage, but he was wrong.
Now, Harry reminds how fate seems to trick all of the Constantines into being seduced by magic. John has learned since their first meeting that all Constantines struggle to buck that fate until the very end. Harry wonders if maybe, that struggle is all they have. He suggests that it always comes down to a point of choice, and young Gemma has met hers. Maybe, some words from John can turn her off of the path. John realizes that Gemma has probably already turned in the right direction, and satisfied, Harry admits that the time has come for him to rest. Offering forgiveness from one bastard to another, John gives his ancestor death.
John returns to Cheryl's and checks in on Gemma. He reflects on the fact that he is the last remaining Constantine, and realizes that there is no failure in that - because now no one else has to be.
- This issue features a special insert in which Death talks about AIDS and safer sex.
- This is the final issue of Hellblazer to be released as part of the DC Universe before the switch to the Vertigo imprint.
- No trivia.
