If you asked me a couple of months ago, this should have been a Surface Book or at least a Surface Pro 4 review. I replace my devices annually and I had planned on getting the new Surface Pro 4 as a replacement for my Surface Pro 3 and when the Surface Book arrived, I decided to change my order to a Surface Book.
So what changed? Well, lets give you some of the history:
I wrote a series of 3 articles on the Surface Pro 3 which I moved to as my work machine. I've been looking at stylus access for a Mac or iPad nothing coming from Apple I decided to shift to the Surface Pro 3. Whilst I hated Windows 8, Windows 10 was coming soon and it looked good so I soldiered on. Working with Windows 8 was like trying to do weight loss by scraping yourself with a spoon. Granted that's a minor exaggeration but for those who have worked with Windows 8, not by much. I'm not actually sure how some people survived Windows 8 era while I was in Mac land, or even liked it, the latter of which must point to some self loathing psychological issues. Yes, it was that bad, even Windows Fanboys I know think it's terrible. In my case, if it hadn't been for a little product called Start8, I don't think I would've survived, but I knew Windows 10 was on the horizon, and I didn't have long to wait. I'd seen the screenshots and the demos. It's funny how quickly we forget the pain endured by Windows that forced our initially departure. It's almost like mothers who have more children after enduring childbirth, somehow the brain forgets.*In my case, it was having to roll back drivers every day for 2 weeks about 6 years ago due to some bug in that current flavour of Windows that forced me to go out and buy a Mac, something I think saved my sanity. Anyway, back to current day.
I remember registering for Windows 10 and actually being excited when the message appeared in a hotel room in Parramatta saying I could upgrade. It's probably the first time I've been excited about anything Windows
ever. Microsoft owned the hardware so the upgrades should be flawless and after having completed my install, it seemed like it had gone smoothly. Visually, Windows 10 is actually an appealing product, if an operating system can be appealing. At first glance it seemed to fill all holes left by Windows 8 on the Surface Pro 3. It solved the scalability issues with external screens. It brought back the start menu and combined it with touch in a usable but practical way. I went through checklist of issues I had with Windows 8, and one by one they seemed to be solved by windows 10. But I should've known what looked like a dream was really a nightmare.*
A couple of weeks later, the honeymoon phase was well and truly over. Initially it was easy to overlook the little issues but progressively I realised that some of the issues were not really resolved, new issues and hadn't open and I had to contend with daily crashes that simply did not existing in Mac land. Scalability wasn't completely fixed and I still had issues with having to restart my machine every third or fourth time after unplugging from an external display because it left the icons small enough to fit onto a pin head. Search was dismal despite what Microsoft promised so I had to keep a third party product called X1. I had to do a fresh install to fix some performance issues and I had to rebuild my index to solve a search issue with settings where the CPU would max out when doing a search and the entire machine would be unusable for 20 second. *
Then Office 2016 arrived and things got worse. Outlook crashed at least once a day, sometimes 4-5 times. Reinstalling and repairing did nothing.*Outlook 2016 seemed to come with a feature that crashed the product whenever it lost internet connection, which unfortunately was often due to a bug. Then in an attempt to fix the bug with a firmware update, they changed something which stopped my wifi 4G modem stopped working and I rely on my mobile connection. It wasn't just me either, all my consultants had the same issue. I had to tether my mobile phone to keep pointing a connection going, but every time I unplugged my phone to take a business call in privacy, Outlook would crash again.*
Windows 10 also cost me in excess of a $300 of data in two months, thanks to a nasty feature which torrents updates to other users without your permission. We had data issues with multiple consultants and couldn't find the issue. Two months and $300 later, we discovered Microsoft had decided to torrent their updates to everyone in the world without telling users. Thanks Microsoft! In one day I lost $100 of data when I hit my cap with my phone on the other side of the room and I didn't see the SMS come in. We thought it was updates, and it was, just the updates Microsoft were sending to other computers from your laptop.
Were those the only issues?
Sadly not. I have a list of 20 issues I encountered but possibly my biggest annoyance is that the suspend mode on the tablet doesn't work when you put the screen cover on so half the time I would arrive at a destination with a flat battery and a hot device, or more annoyingly arrive on a plane to find out my battery was flat so I had nothing to watch for a flight because now airlines rely on your carrying your own device.
Office 2016 should never have been released, it's less stable than a Zimbabwe's economy and that's not confined to Windows. Office 2016 is one of the only applications on my Mac that still crashes. It's at this point that I start to wonder whether Microsoft actually do quality control prior to release or whether the public betas are just an attempt to convince users they are actually doing quality control while the development sits back playing games.
And those aren't all the issues, there are plenty more. Yes, its not a all new and improved Windows, it's the same old Windows with a haircut and new jeans pretending to have changed. It almost feels like getting back together with a bad ex-partner who says they have changed,, but after a couple of months it just seems like the same old thing and you realise there was a reason you broke up.
Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad. If you're tied to Microsoft software, the hardware that Microsoft produced is amazing and the Surface Book looks incredible. In fact, if Apple produce this piece of hardware on OSX, I probably wouldn't be writing this article, but I guess that's the most concerning part. Microsoft has control over the hardware and software in this case, and if Microsoft can't get it right on their own hardware, what chance do the other manufacturers have? They don't even have that many devices to test it on so how could they get it so wrong?
I think the problem with Microsoft is they have always been geared up for the corporate market where people wait for IT to install the software before deploying it to the organisation, because Microsoft's release to the public is a little like gmail, it's permanently in an unstable beta, and it's only really when a product reaches end of life that it has any stability. This explains why most IT departments don't want to upgrade their OS environments until any version of Windows has been public for at least 2 years. The mistake I made was believing that Microsoft would release a stable version of their software.
So where to now? I've traded my MacBook Air up for a 15 MacBook Pro Quad Core. Yes, it's big and bulky but I've decided that I'll sacrifice some weight for the better performance of a Quad Core and 15" retina screen. I still have a requirement to run Windows for some work related functions so I'll keep a Windows 7 and Windows 10 virtualised in an environment I can control their behaviour and rollback quickly and easy when problems arise. The Windows 10 VM loads from a complete shutdown in about 8 seconds as can be seen below and 3 seconds from suspend mode.
And I've added an iPad Pro as well which deals with my handwriting and workshop process diagram requirements and despite it being bulky, it had the added benefit of being usable as a Wacom Cintiq which has at least cut away my reliance on Wacom.
The sad part is I don't like have two devices. I want one. But Apple won't produce one and Microsoft produces a really bad one. And I realised I can't trust Microsoft. They had the Surface Pro 3 for over a year before they Windows 10. They had no excuses.
Last farewells
On a separate not, as you've probably gathered, Mactalk has reached an all time low and there isn't much happening. Like myself, most of the people have already jumped ship to Appletalk so this article is my final one here despite the waining readership, and more a matter of closing up loose ends. Farewell, adiios, goodbye and don't forget to switch the lights off on the way out.

oops, attached here is the JSON in the raw...
I'd also like to emphatically state that I didn't create that solution and I'm not responsible for any best practice violations that might be found therein...
I've found a (the?) source of our Designer "TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object" crashes. We use grid templatecolumns similar to the one below throughout our projects:
tpl: '{SafetyManagerStatusName}'
It seems that Designer is trying to interpret the .toLowerCase() call when the class is rendered in the design view. Since we create and bind our stores in the code behinds (as opposed to stores created in the Designer) the data value would appear to be null at design time, causing the error.
I'd call this a Designer bug, but regardless, is there a better way to handle the template scenario I've given?
FIXED: I came up with a fix for this particular issue. Converting the values.ColumnName value to a string first and then converting toLowerCase results in a text string of "undefined" rather than chucking an undefined reference error. See below:
tpl: '{SafetyManagerStatusName}'
Last edited by deaconb; 21 Dec 2011 at 9:58 AM. Reason: Added fix
I am able to open your project fine in Ext Designer 1.2.2. Since we are not fixing any issues in 1.1 could you upgrade to 1.2.2.

This is a very funny video… or it would be if it wasn't true. So true. And if it wasn't equally (or more true) for cell phone companies and the big Internet Service Providers.
This issue, like many others, is only an issue because the CRTC (our telecom regulator here in Canada) does the bidding of the industry it is exists to regulate. They mostly don't even pretend consumer protection is an issue they consider. Under Canada's inadequate inequitable and antiquated electoral system, this isn't likely to change soon.
If you want things to change, you have to step up and start doing something about it. Canada needs to adopt Proportional Representation if we're ever to have a meaningful democracy, where people (not corporations) have a say in our government. How can you do this?

Art and Design Students Create Public Mural for Montclair
Collaboration between University and Montclair Arts Council yields work of art for the Township of Montclair
Posted in: Department of Art and Design News
Thanks to the creativity and hard work of students and faculty from the Art and Design department of Montclair State University's College of the Arts, and with the cooperation and support of the Montclair Arts Council and several local businesses and individuals, the Township of Montclair is now the proud beneficiary of a beautiful outdoor mural. Created especially for the township by the students, the mural is a visual sampling of some of Montclair's historical events and characters, intertwined with imagery of its abundant flora and historical homes, and the words of poets, including Walt Whitman.
The mural has been installed in the space between the Bamboo Asian Bistro and the Montclair Char Broil Diner, in the 600 block of Valley Road in Montclair, and is an impressive, 8-foot-by-35-foot, acrylic-on-canvas work. Five undergraduate and five graduate art and design students—under the leadership of Julie Heffernan, associate professor of art and design, and adjunct instructor Zachary Wollard—worked for more than a semester to create the mural, Montclair's newest public work of art.
According to Heffernan, the project was not only a creative experience for the students, but also an educational one. "I think the process of learning how to think collaboratively was a challenge for some students in the beginning," she recalls. "But it taught them a lot about public art and thinking in terms of a wide, diverse audience, and about how to work with others. The esprit de corps among the group helped the project come to a rousing finish."

Much of the success of the project can be attributed to the many township organizations, businesses, and individuals who arranged for much needed private funding, advice, materials, and assistance. Some of those who were instrumental in the process were Montclair Arts Council board member Dale Jacobs, Saunders Hardware owner Tom Vultee, architect John Way, and Classics Reborn, LLC, which built the frame and mounted the mural, among others.

Acknowledgment of the art and design students who put brush to canvas to make the mural a reality is also in order. Congratulations to undergraduate students Kyle Coniglio, Andrew Fondanarosa, Melissa Graff, Alfred Marroquin, and Daniela Puliti, and graduate students Gianluca Bianchino, Gavin Gewecke, Saydi Kaufman, Ji Yong Kim, and Sarah Zar.
The mural has been on display since July and an official dedication ceremony was held on September 25.

The Stoning of Soraya M.
This book tells the true story of a person stoned in an Iranian village sometime after the Revolution. Soraya M's husband Ghorban-Ali wanted out of his marriage, and accused his wife of adultery. She was taken away, buried and stoned to death. The son of a former Iranian ambassador, French journalist and war correspondent Freidoune Sahebjam wrote the book after his experience in the village. His book was turned into a script for the film (also included).

Much earlier this year on a visit to the submerged forest at Erith I had found what appeared to be a hurdle; woven from thin pieces of wood. My colleagues in Historic England at Fort Cumberland had identified the wood as Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and the samples were sent for radiocarbon dating. Today we got the results of the dating the fragments of ash wood date to the Bronze Age which is excellent news as this is consistent with other dated material from this part of the submerged forest and is exciting as the structure is likely to have been made humans rather than the trees which were overwhelmed by rising river levels.
Next I was asked for advice about a site where Vibro columns were proposed as means of ground improvement. It is very common for buildings to built using piled foundations. This method is often referred to as piling but this is misleading. Vibro columns involve a very different approach mechanically. The particles in the deposits are shaken down into place to provide a more compact and solid base for building upon. How these methods impact archaeological deposits is still poorly understood. We do know that it causes movement and settlement over a wider area and is likely to adversely affect any archaeology present. To find out more about piling and archaeology see https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/piling-and-archaeology/
I then joined colleagues from GLAAS (Greater London Archaeological Advice Service) and Development Management team for a visit to the Curtain Theatre excavations in Hackney. Here the knucklebone floor which had been much admired and re-tweeted recently was being reburied. The controlled reburial of archaeological remains to preserve them is referred to as preservation in situ this can be permanent or temporary. The area to be reburied had been covered with a special membrane Terram and the next stage was for it to be covered with sand. The type of sand used is very important it has to be able to be packed down evenly to provide a buffer layer between the archaeology and what is to go above it and also has to have a low Iron content to avoid leaching into the archaeological deposits and potentially damaging them.
My next task was to work on our next training event. Over the last year or so we have been putting on a series of one day training sessions on Human remains in commercial archaeology, ethical legal and curatorial considerations. These events have been very well attended and the feedback has also been very positive. The audience has included curators, consultants and contractors. This has involved lots of input from colleagues within Historic England both for technical input and logistic arrangements and also many external speakers from local authorities, universities, the Church of England and the ministry of justice as well as and archaeology companies and freelance specialists.
So a full and varied day of archaeological science.

Father Stephen Harney is accustomed to providing solace to his poor Venezuelan parishioners who struggle to survive. But these days its the middle-class and wealthy families forced to pay protection money to the FARC, Colombia's main rebels, who knock on his door for guidance.
The 74-year-old Rosminian priest says the leftist guerrillas are increasingly taking extortion money from his flock in El Llanito, a small community outside of San Cristóbal, the capital of the Venezuelan state of the Táchira. Those who fail to pay up, he says, are either kidnapped for ransom or executed by local assassins hired by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
"There's nothing sadder than the kidnappings and the paid killers. It's very much a problem," says the Irish priest, seated in a small armchair in the Rosminian center, which is just an hour's drive from the Colombian border. The Rosminians are a Roman Catholic charitable order, founded in 1828.
In the past six years, FARC representatives have been operating more openly, stepping up extortions and kidnappings, confirmed a San Cristóbal police officer who handles complaints from local businesses. He refused to be identified, he said, because corrupt police and military authorities are also said to be involved in drug trafficking activities with the Colombian irregulars.
Top Venezuelan police officials in San Cristóbal said they were not available for interviews.
The Colombian military's efforts to drive the leftist guerrillas from its eastern region during the past 44 years have pushed the guerrillas into the mountains and jungles on the border with Venezuela. Colombian officials claim that FARC rebels operate from bases in Venezuela and Ecuador. A March 1 raid on a FARC camp in Ecuador killed the No. 2 rebel commander, Raul Reyes.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez has sent mixed signals on the FARC. Five months ago, he called on the US and Europe to take the FARC off their lists of "terrorist" groups. Mr. Chávez has denied that there are any FARC bases in his country. But earlier this week, in an abrupt turnaround, Chávez distanced himself from the FARC, calling on the rebels to end their struggle and surrender their hostages in "exchange for nothing."
"The guerrilla war is history," Chávez said Sunday, during his weekly television and radio program. "At this moment in Latin America, an armed guerrilla movement is out of place."
But in the state of Táchira, opposition politician Leomagno Flores says that "Chávez gives protection to these Colombian guerrillas. The relationship with Chávez and FARC is not only in the computer of Raul Reyes – it's here."
Laptop computers found by the Colombian military in the March 1 raid in Ecuador revealed close ties between Chávez and the Marxist guerrillas, according to Colombian officials. Documents indicated that Chávez had supplied the rebels with weapons and given them a $300 million loan. Chávez has consistently denied such claims.
But Mr. Flores says San Cristóbal, which has almost 600,000 residents, is under the grip of the FARC. He says that they send representatives from their mountain hideouts to extort a monthly vacuna, or vaccination, from local businessmen.
"These foreign forces are committing violence against the people of Táchira," says Flores, a gubernatorial candidate in the November elections. "It's an imported violence."
Locals say that the FARC and other Colombian militias, including the smaller National Liberation Army (ELN) and Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia, are operating on Venezuelan soil. The Los Andes Daily, a local newspaper, reported that Venezuelan Gen. Jesus Gregorio Gonzalez said on May 27 that border patrol units under his command had detected the presence of Colombian "irregulars," or rebel groups, in the border states of Zulia and Apure.
Business owners say the FARC kidnaps people who failed to pay the vacuna. Cattle ranchers who work in border areas have been prime targets for guerrilla kidnappings. Thirty-four were taken hostage last January alone, Genaro Mendez of the Venezuelan Cattle Ranchers' Association told local media in February.
The head of the Apure branch of the association, Omar Bustos, declines to comment on the presence of Colombian rebels in the border state. He says, however, that his members are having "security problems," and calls on the state authorities "to do more."
Father Harney says that local government officials "are friends of the FARC. They're all over the place here. The government doesn't chase them out."
A woman who lives in the town of El Pinal, in Táchira state, agrees that it is overrun with FARC rebels and says that the president's leanings toward the Colombian rebels have prompted them to take refuge in Venezuela.
"Before they wouldn't identify themselves. But now since Chávez has taken them by the hand, they come forward and show themselves," says the woman, refusing to give her name. "If you talk against them they kill you."
A member of Venezuela's National Guard was among two Venezuelans captured by the Colombian authorities in a border zone on June 7, according to Colombia's chief prosecutor. The man, who is being held in Bogota, is accused of selling tens of thousands of rounds of Kalashnikov ammunition and weaponry to FARC rebels.
This week, the US State Department described Chávez's comments about the FARC as "good words," but asked that the president follow the announcement with "concrete actions."

Home Office: Plug multiple electronics into a smart power strip with programmable timer or motion detector.
Bedroom: Set ceiling fan direction to clockwise in winter to draw up cold air and counter-clockwise in warm months.
Bathroom: Switch to 10-minute showers and change to a low-flow showerhead of 2.4 gallons per minute.
Living Room: Use the programmable thermostat to adjust temperatures 10-15 degrees while you are away or sleeping.
Kitchen: Move oven rack closer to heating unit to cut cooking time up to 20%. Get new seal on refrigerator door.
Basement: Seal small gaps with caulk, fill holes with spray foam, and cover large holes with spray foam and foam board.
Garage: Install weather-stripping around the garage door; attach fiberglass duct wrap or foamed insulation panels inside.
Switch your ceiling fan to turn in a counter-clockwise direction In the summer; in the winter, run it at low speed, but clockwise.
Close your exterior doors and windows tightly when the AC is on. Save even more by turning off kitchen and bath exhaust fans.
Change or clean your ACs air filters at least once a month to keep your system running at peak performance.
Make sure your AC has a rating – or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) – of 15. Not only will your AC be more efficient, you could also be eligible for a rebate up to $300.
Make saving automatic: Set your thermostat fan switch to "auto" to save energy. Leaving it in the "on" position keeps air running constantly.
Block the sun from overheating your home! Inside, use shades, blinds and drapes. Outside, use awnings, trees and shrubs.
Insulate your walls with injected foam insulation to help you save energy by keeping hot outside air from seeping through porous block walls – check with your local building supply company for details.
Give your AC tune-up. Running an inefficient AC system can result in high monthly bills. Plus, you could qualify for a rebate.
Open interior doors so that cooled air flows freely throughout your home.
Repair leaky ducts to reduce heating and cooling costs and qualify for a rebate up to $120 toward repairs.
Install attic insulation rated R-30 and sealing any attic leaks to reduce high home cooling costs. You'll save money each month and qualify for a rebate of $75 or more.
Check for household leaks to make sure air isn't escaping through openings such as fireplace dampers, doors and windows.
Decorate for a cooler home by hanging light-colored curtains that allow light to enter a room while blocking some of the sun's rays, and light-colored paint to reflect heat.
Close unused air vents. If you have central AC you can close air vent in rooms you're not using so you're not paying to cool them.
Plant trees to provide shade on the sunny side of your home.
Use ceiling fans to cool off for less. Ceiling fans use no more electricity than a standard light bulb. However, be sure to turn fans off when you leave – they only cool people, not rooms.
Install more ceiling fans. Because the breeze of a fan can make you feel three to four degrees cooler, you can raise that thermostat and still stay comfortable.
Raise the temperature on your thermostat by a few degrees to save on your cooling costs.
Install a programmable thermostat to adjust your temperature during the day.

Hi all,
Moved in to a new house recently and the Gas meter housing outside is looking slightly more than in need of tidying up. It functions absolutely fine but looks atrocious. Is it ok to paint them (Is it permissable) if so do I need to use any specific paint type, or will bog standard gloss do?
It looks like it's made out of fibre glass if that helps, I've tried giving it a ruddy good scrub but to no avail.
Any help or advice that anyone can provide will be gratefully appreciated indeed, With thanks,
Matt (bodget&co.)

Report: Samsung hogs ASML litho supply chain
Keywords:lithography? 193nm scanner? DRAM?
That's good news for Samsung, but bad news for its memory rivals that use ASML's tools, such as Elpida, Hynix, IM Flash, Micron, Nanya and others. NAND rival Toshiba Corp. is said to use scanners from Nikon Corp.
But there are also implications for Chartered/GlobalFoundries, TSMC and UMC, which also rely on ASML tools.
"Samsung is locking up equipment loading slots (particularly for immersion), delaying equipment deliveries to other players. The broad implication here is that lead times for immersion tools will likely continue to extend, putting pressure on tier-two DRAM players," said C.J. Muse, an analyst with Barclays Capital, in a report.
"Clearly, a part of Samsung's plan is to get a first mover advantage by locking up loading slots—particularly for immersion. All along we have modeled Samsung getting shipped 25 immersion tools in 2010, including 24 from ASML and 1 from Nikon. We understand more than 65 percent of these tools have been ordered with shipment delivery expected in 1H10," Muse said.
Samsung is procuring ASML's new 193nm immersion tool, dubbed the NXT. "Our view continues to be that Samsung has been aggressively locking up ASML NXT slots and that they will come back in Q2 10 and place more orders (particularly for the NXT)," Muse said.
"The broad implication here is that lead times for immersion tools will likely continue to extend, putting pressure, in particular, on tier-two DRAM players. It is here where we expect more meaningful immersion orders over the coming quarters (we understand Elpida and Hynix are placing orders in Q1 10) and that this should provide increased visibility to other front-end equipment companies for their shipments through the remainder of 2010," he said.
The losers in the lithography world? "Our checks suggest that a two- to three-month slip has slowly materialized for Nanya/Inotera and Rexchip's litho tool schedule," he said, referring to the Taiwan DRAM makers.
Taiwan's Inotera has a DRAM joint partnership with Micron Technology Inc. Taiwan's Rexchip is a DRAM venture between Japan's Elpida and Powerchip Semiconductor Corp.
"We think that Samsung is not oblivious to the fact that given ASML has a finite capacity, its capacity to consume NXT litho tools for its build-out has very real consequences to the profitability of DRAM players which are not yet at 50nm or sub-50nm nodes," he said.
"In NAND, the picture is slightly complex, where IM Flash has captured the lead in the race to the 2Xnm node, with Samsung and Toshiba right behind and with Hynix in the rear, just managing to enter the 3Xnm node," he said.
"However, Samsung and Micron both play in the DRAM as well as NAND market, and therefore a delay of Nanya/ Inotera conversion means that DRAM manufacture cannot be offloaded to Nanya/ Inotera and Micron's Manassas, Virginia and Lehi, Utah fabs' capacity cannot be fully dedicated to NAND," he said. "This also, in a sense delays additionally capacity being built in IMF-Singapore."

Apple is bringing iMovie to the iPad, which takes full advantage of the iPad 2's new A5 dual-core processor, promising precision video editing, multitrack audio recording, Airplay compatibility and the ability to export movies in HD. Oh, and it's also coming as an update for iPhone and iPod touch devices. It will cost $5 when it comes out on March 11.
This new version of iMovie comes complete with new themes, and a tweaked UI that takes full advantage of the added screen real estate. Here's what we know so far:
• The homescreen is made to look like an old-time theater, which has previous projects displayed as thumbnails, and theme templates displayed as movie posters.
• Gestures play a prominent role in editing clips. You can use reverse pinching to activate the precision editor, as well as pressing and holding the screen to create cut points.
• Transitions are fully customizable, including the Ken Burns effect!
• Audio is also given more thought, as you can bring up full waveforms, include multitrack audio and import songs from your iTunes library. You can also adjust volume for specific segments and choose from over 50 included sound effects. [Apple Meta Liveblog]

I am currently working on a GUI and iconset in Illustrator which will be exported (using a plug-in) to XAML.
While GUI elements can be exported by placing them in a new file, this becomes a lot of work with iconsets. Which I want to avoid. So I am looking for a streamlined workflow to export multiple groups/artboards/layers (similar to Export for Web & Devices) for XAML (the plug-in does not support "use artboards").

You just might be surprised by the choice of things to do in Naples. Take in magnificent historic buildings and world-renowned archaeological sites. Discover shopping options for every budget and feast on some of the finest cuisine in Italy.
Stroll around the ancient streets of Naples, gazing at splendid palazzos or stopping to browse ancient antiquities in its excellent museums. Climb the famous Mount Vesuvius volcano and visit the haunting ruins of Pompeii. Treat yourself to a day of retail therapy then dine on mouth-watering Neapolitan specialities. In the evening, sip fine Italian wine at a bohemian bar or experience the frenetic energy of the Spanish Quarter's locals' bars and cafes.
Browse the abundant stores that line Naples' main shopping street, the Via Toledo. Find designer labels at the magnificent Galleria Umberto and Via Calabritto. Or brave the crowds at Il Mercatino delle Scarpe market to pick up bargain-priced accessories. Also, don't miss the daily food market on Pignasecca in the Centro Storico, to see the real Neapolitan way of life. Please be aware that most shops close between 1-4pm in Naples.
Take in the splendid Bourbon Palazzo Reale, home to the largest state library in southern Italy. Admire the fabulous frescoes in the 14th-century Naples Cathedral. Browse fascinating ancient artefacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum at the superb Naples National Archaeological Museum. Or take a tour of the enigmatic ruined civilisations themselves, and if you are feeling energetic climb Mount Vesuvius for breathtaking views of Naples and beyond.
If Florence and Rome are known for old masters and Renaissance classics, then Naples is the antithesis. Contemporary art is big news in the city's galleries, from Pop Art and Arte Povera to conceptual art and avant-garde photography. Head to the Madre in the heart of the historic centre, or visit the museum dedicated to objects made from plastic – the Plart – in Chiara. You will also find some traditional art galleries and museums, like the superb Museo di Capodimonte.
Exquisite Neapolitan cuisine centres around succulent seafood and simple pizza – made glorious with the finest fresh ingredients. Order Naples' favourite dish at Pizzeria Sorbillo, and sample the heavenly sweet delights of the renowned chocolatier Gay-Odin. Be sure to stop at the grand Caffé Gambrinus, the city's most prestigious café. Or visit the Borgo Mariniari for its many trattorias serving delectable seafood, including favourites zuppa de pesce (fish soup) and spaghetti with mussels and zucchini.
Naples is one of the most energetic cities in Europe, with some fantastic bars – ranging from grungy student hangouts to sophisticated cocktail lounges ideal for a romantic tryst. Over the weekend, piazzas are full of young people drinking beer, and are great for meeting new friends or just people watching. Chiara is good for wine bars, like the famous Enoteca Belledonne, while you'll find locals head into the Quartieri Spagnoli's cheap and lively bars, like the inimitable Cammarota Spritz.
Underneath Naples there is a system of subterranean tunnels, chasms and cavities that form a labyrinthine city which mirrors the metropolis above. Spread beneath the whole Centro Storico, the underground Naples experience is breathtaking, with its many legends and folklores, this is a lost world. Take a guided tour, or risk getting lost in the honeycomb passageways of WWII air raid shelters, Roman ruins, catacombs and burial sites.

The IRS recently noted that December is the month for giving generously to charities, friends and family. But it's also a time that can have a major impact on the tax return you'll file in the New Year. Here are some tips from the IRS covering everything from charity donations to refund planning, followed by some equally timely tips on charitable giving from Eleanor Blayney, the CFP Board's consumer advocate.
From the IRS:
- Contribute to Qualified Charities. If you plan to take an itemized charitable deduction on your 2012 tax return, your donation must go to a qualified charity by December 31. You can always ask the charity about its tax-exempt status. You can also visit IRS.gov and use the "Exempt Organizations Select Check" tool to see if your favorite charity is qualified. Donations charged to a credit card by December 31 are deductible for 2012, even if you pay the bill in 2013. A gift by check also counts for 2012 if it's mailed in December. Gifts to individuals, whether to friends, family or strangers, are not deductible.
- What You Can Deduct. You generally can deduct cash contributions and the fair market value of property donated to a qualified charity. Special rules apply to certain donated property, including clothing, household items, cars, and boats.
- Keep Records of Donations. You must keep a record of any donations you deduct, regardless of the amount. You must have a written record of all cash contributions to claim a deduction. This may include cancelled checks, bank, or credit card statements, or payroll deduction records. You can also ask the charity for a written statement of their name, your contribution date and the amount given.
- Keep Records in a Safe Place. As long as you're gathering records for your charitable contributions, it's a good idea to start rounding up documents you will need to file your return in 2013. This includes receipts, canceled checks, and other documents that support income or deductions that you will claim. Be sure to store them in a safe place.
- Planning for Major Purchases. If you are making major purchases during the holiday season, don't base them solely on the expectation of receiving your tax refund before the bills arrive. Many factors can affect the timing of a tax refund. The IRS issues most refunds in less than twenty-one days after receiving a tax return. However, if your tax return requires additional review, it may take longer to receive a refund.
From the CFP Board:
Make sure your clients a longer-term view when considering holiday gifts, suggests noted advisor and CFP Board Consumer Advocate Eleanor Blayney. As the final installment in its "12 for '12 Approach to Financial Confidence," the Board in a release points out that gifting and charitable donations made at the end of the year can offer multiple benefits and long-term rewards if made with some thought and a plan.
Following are Blayney's four strategies to giving:
- Plan Now, Give Later, Part 1: "By simply budgeting and setting money aside throughout the year for year-end giving, you're certain to make the season merrier, both for you and the people and causes you care about." However, when clients spend without prior planning, anticipating paying off the bill later, Blayney says it's a "sure-fire way to turn the joy of giving into a new year's hangover.
- Plan Now, Give Later, Part 2: This is a category of planned giving—which Blayney calls "smart and generous," that takes a current asset and earmarks it for a future charitable gift, retaining the assets for the donor during his or her lifetime. Such strategies include making a charitable bequest in a will or naming a charity as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or insurance policy. Charitable remainder trusts and gift annuities also provide for future donations, but can generate current tax deductions in an amount equal to the present value of the later transfer.
- Plan Now, Benefit Later: This category of planned giving uses "today's money to build a better future," writes Blayney. While many holiday gifts depreciable goods, Blayney suggests giving gifts that provide longer-term benefits to the recipient, such as contributing to a child's college savings plan, paying for a skills-building workshop, or, "picking up the fee for an adult child or relative to talk to a CFP professional."
- Plan Now, Benefit Now: This category of giving is one that provides immediate tax savings. Blayney suggests, for example, that rather than simply writing a check to a charity, consider donating appreciated securities held for more than a year; the donors gets the tax deduction for the market value of the securities donated, and avoids capital gains taxes. Finally, Blayney notes that for individuals who may be subject to estate and gift taxes, making a gift to a beneficiary today can have the advantage of minimizing the total taxes that must be paid both now and later. That might especially be true this year, depending on how the fiscal cliff negotiations, which includes gift and estate tax exclusions, plays out.

With all the talk out there in the aloe industry, what aloe vera is and what makes this healing plant so popular, is still far from the reach of so many that are trying to understand what exactly is in the plant …that gives it it's healing power.
From the ancient Egyptians, Greek, and the Roman physicians, up to and through the discoveries made in the early twentieth century …the question remains, what and how does this healing plant work its magic!
As can be seen, the "remarkable aloe vera plant" ingredients are in everything. It's in our soaps, its in our shampoo, its in our hair conditioner, its in our shaving lathers, its in our bath products, our face creams, our body lotions, our toothpastes, our liniments, our body powders, our cologne …not only is it used in everything we put on our body …but its also found its way to internal uses with dramatic medical breakthrough from A to Z.
Listed below are just a few:
- A. Arthritis, allergies, abrasions, asthma, acne, acid indigestion, anemia.
- B. Bad breath, burns, boils, bursitis, blisters, burses, bronchitis, bowel regularity, body cleanser, bladder infections, blood pressure.
- C. Candida, cancer, cankers sores, cold sores, cuts, colic, cradle cap, chapped/chaffed skin and lips.
- D. Dermatitis, dandruff, dry skin, denture sores, diaper rash, dishpan hands, dysentery, diabetes, depression, decubitous ulcers.
- E. Edema, epidermises, Epstein-Barr virus, exanthema, eczema.
- F. Fever blisters, fungus, feline leukemia, fungus infection.
- G. Genital herpes, gingivitis, glaucoma gangrene, gout.
- H. Heat rash, hemorrhoids, heartburn, herpes zoster.
- I. Impetigo, inflamed joints, insomnia, ingrown toenails, indigestion, insect bites.
- J. Jaundice, joints.
- K. Kidney infection, keratosis follicularis.
- L. Leprosy, laryngitis, lupus, liver ailments, leukemia, lupus.
- Sounds like good news, doesn't it? That could be a yes and a no.
- M. Multiple sclerosis, moles, mouth ulcers, muscle cramps/strains.
- N. Nausea of all kinds.
- O. Onycolysis, odor control of chronic ulcers, oral disorders.
- P. Pin worms, psoriasis, prostrates, poison ivy/oak, pancreas.
- Q. Quality of life (enhance the immune system).
- R. Razor burns, radiation burns, rashes.
- S. Strains to joints and ligaments, stings, styes, seborrhea, stretch marks, sore throat, shingles, staph infections, sunburn, sciatic nerve, sickle cell disease.
- T. Torn and bruised muscles, turf burns, tonsillitis, tendonitis, tuberculosis, tumors.
- U. Ulcerations of all kinds, urticaria, ulcers (peptic and duodenal).
- V. Vaginitis, venereal sores, venous stasis, varicose veins.
- W. Wind burns, wounds of all kinds, warts.
- X. X-ray burns.
- Y. Yeast infections in humans and animals.

First, if all these statements are true (and they are) there is the small matter of the efficacy and quality of the aloe vera that is used. Then we have to look at the matter of how much is really real aloe, how much is water and whether or not the Aloe used has been properly stabilized.
There's that word again, stabilization!! And rightly so, it's the key word when dealing with the healing power of the plant. We will cover stabilization in an article of its own in the near future …but in the meantime, when using an aloe product, just make sure that its been properly stabilized. Know your supplier.
Back to the plant now and clarify just what makes the aloe vera plant so effective, and why some feel there are some "secrets" about it that is still known to only a select few.
Essentially, the aloe vera plant contains two juices …in the tubular found next to the yellow viscous sap in the cells just beneath the think green rind of the leaf and the gel fillet, which serves as the water storage organ.
The tubules hold the yellow sap that contains what is known as the anthraquinones, mostly aloin, which is best known as a potent laxative, (seldom used in modern times).
The gel fillet of the aloe leaf actually contains about 99.5% water, and makes the liquid usable as a beverage and the primary substance of so many kinds of treatment compounds.
So, understandably, the most effective Aloe Vera compounds available today are formulated to emphasize the positive aspects of the leaf gel fillet, while minimizing the presence of aloin and other "purging" anthraquinines.
The most oftenly used substance from this herb is the aloe gel, a thick viscid liquid found in the interior of the leaves. The leaves are used in the treatment of burns and the aloine – a bitter milky yellowish liquid is used as a laxative. The herb contains: 20 minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Chromium , Selenium), 12 vitamins (A, B, C, E, folic acid), 20 aminoacids from the 22 which are necessary to the human body, over 200 active components including enzymes and polysaccharides. All the active substances enumerated before contribute to the therapeutical value of the herb. We shall move on to presenting the main effects that the herb has over the human body: it toughens up the immune system owing to the 23 peptides contained by the aloe vera, it accelerates and regulates the methabolism, purifies the human body from toxins, bringing about a feeling of calm. Moreover, aloe vera has an antiseptic effect (by distroying the bacterias, viruses and fungi), disinfectant capabilities and can also stimulate the cell-renewing process. Aloe vera nourishes and supports the digesting of aliments. Cutting across the human organism, aloe vera manages to bring the human body to a general balanced state.
Additional data from other source.
Aloe Vera contains over 75 known active ingredients (and probably many more). Also included are 19 of the 20 amino acids required by the human body and 7 of the 8 essential amino acids (that the body cannot make), as well as vitamins and minerals. There are 20 "critical" Amino Acids in human metabolism, but the body can only make 12, the other 8 have to be obtained from food. These are Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Valine, and Tryptophan.
Aloe Vera contains also contain useful enzymes like Amylase, Bradykinase, Catalase, Cellulase, Lipase, Oxidase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Proteolytiase, Creatine Phosphokinase, Carboxypeptidase. Most of these are beneficial to human metabolism.
Lignin gives Aloe Vera its penetrating powers, but is not considered to have any other benefit.
Aloe Vera contains important minerals like Calcium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Phosphorous, Sodium, and Zinc.
As most of us know that the mono-saccharides are the familiar glucose and fructose. It is believed that the more complex long-chain sugars are the poly-saccharides give Aloe Vera its unique healing and immuno-stimulating properties.
Aloe Vera contains useful vitamins. These include A (beta-carotene and retinol), B1 (thiamine), B2 ( riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine), B12 (cyanocobalamin), C (ascorbic acid), E (tocopherol) and Folic Acid.
Salicylic Acid, a substance similar to aspirin that can help reduce fever and inflammation is also found in Aloe vera. It also contains Saponins and Sterols. Saponins are natural soapy substances that have both cleansing and antiseptic properties while Sterols are naturally occurring plant steroids with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties.
Aloe vera has proved its efficiency from the simplest allergies to the treatment of wounds and skin infections and even to its usage in alleviating more serious afflictions. With the help of this herb a wide variety of internal and external afflictions are controlled, like: asthma, virosis, arthritis, arthrosis, gingivitis, bronchitis, pharyngitis, intestinal inflamations, constipations, obesity, sprains, muscle strains, cutaneous inflamations. The efficiency of the herb was also proven in the cases of anemia, deficiency illnesses, insomnia and depressions and the B-sisterole from the Aloe vera brings about the lowering of the cholesterol level. Also, this herb is used for controlling the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, diabetes, hepatitis and pancreatitis and multiple sclerosis.
The juice of Aloe Vera can be extracted by cutting the leaf, collecting the juice and then evaporating it. The juice has many benefits when drunk. This is partially due to the fact that it contains twelve vitamins (including A, B1, B6, B12, C and E), nineteen amino acids and over 20 minerals, which most of these are essential to the body.
In Ayurveda, the Indian health practice, Aloe Vera is known as Kumari ('the princess') because of its positive effect on the menstrual cycle and female reproductive system.
It is also known for its ability to clean the liver and protect the digestive system by reducing intestinal inflammation.
Overall, Aloe Vera can be used for cosmetics and healing the skin, or when consumed, as a potent cleansing and rejuvenating tonic that is very nutrient rich and beneficial to the body.

– Studies have shown that aloe vera speeds the healing process, particularly in burns, including those from radiation. It is also used by dermatologists to speed healing after facial dermabrasion, which helps remove scars from the top most layers of the skin. The other health benefits from the use of aloe vera include helping to soothe skin injuries affected by burning, skin irritations, cuts and insect bites, and its bactricidal properties relieve itching and skin swellings.
– Aloe Vera possesses incredible moisturizing properties. Studies show that Aloe Vera improves the skin's ability to hydrate itself, aids in the removal of dead skin cells and has an effective penetrating ability that helps transport healthy substances through the skin.
– Aloe vera is also known to help slow down the appearance of wrinkles as it can actively repair the damaged skin cells that cause the visible signs of aging. Components of Aloe Vera have been found to reverse degenerative skin changes by stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis.
– Dermatologist James Fulton, M.D., of Newport Beach, California, uses topical aloe in his practice to speed wound healing. "Any wound we treat, whether it's suturing a cut or removing a skin cancer, heals better with aloe vera on it," he states.
– Top nutritionalists, around the world, recommend the use of Aloe Health Drinks to aid digestion, and many patients experience relief in the symptoms of problems such as Irritable Bowel Sydrome and Crohn's disease.
– Aloe Vera is believed to reduce severe joint and muscle pain associated with arthritis, as well as pain related to tendinitis and injuries. When applied directly to the area of pain, Aloe Vera penetrates the skin to soothe the pain.
– Aloe Vera is considered as a miraculous plant by some for even hair loss treatment. It is assumed that no other plant more closely matches the human body's biochemistry, hence, an excellent treatment for hair loss. It has anti-inflammatory properties of and therfore helps in fighting against Androgenetic Alopecia.

Even though I've already played through this level of Dying Light at PAX Prime, I'm still shifting in my chair, on edge while watching and waiting to see if the protagonist lives or dies in these 9 minutes of footage.
I mean, of course he's going to live. But as skilled as whoever's behind the wheel here is at setting traps and leapfrogging over zombies, I can't shake that nervous feeling once the sun sets. Because I know how fast and aggressive the zombies are in Dying Light.
Watch the video to get a sense of how you can prepare the city for nightfall, Dying Light's most fearful time of day. There are some really great explosion shots, too.

The news of massive flooding across Eastern Europe, and the threat that this poses to World Heritage sites in Poland has caused great concern to the World Heritage community. We deeply deplore the loss of lives in this natural disaster. The floods are the worst to occur in Poland since 1997, when 55 people died and nearly 50,000 homes were flooded. In 2002, a number of World Heritage sites were flooded in Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
In particular the World Heritage properties of the Historic Centre of Warsaw and Cracow's Historic Centre have been reported to be threatened this week, in addition to a number of other sites included on the World Heritage List and on national Tentative Lists of countries in this region. Auschwitz Birkenau and Medieval Town of Toruń are the World Heritage sites most affected by the floods.
I would like to convey our solidarity with the people of the countries struggling to safeguard their heritage. UNESCO is ready to provide technical and emergency assistance to safeguard the precious heritage of future generations as needed.
I would also like to encourage all States Parties to the World Heritage Convention to explore new opportunities to increase international solidarity and conservation partnerships, which are needed now more than ever.

'Parenthood,' 'Gilmore Girls' actress pens novel
NEW YORK -- Lauren Graham has a day job as Sarah Braverman on the NBC drama "Parenthood," but she decided to fill up her free time by writing a novel.
"I don't know why I don't pick up knitting or watercolors," the 46-year-old actress joked in a recent interview, "but I wanted to write a book. There were times and days when it was fun and exhilarating and a lot of days where it was really hard."
"Someday, Someday, Maybe," published by Ballantine Books and now in stores, follows a 20-something aspiring actress named Franny Banks who is living in New York City in the 1990s.
The story isn't autobiographical, but obviously Graham could relate to Franny's struggle to break into show biz.
"I was more interested in (the) waiting, auditioning ... and that feeling when you're on the outside of something looking in. So many people in general and young actors specifically spend so much time there, and many people never get beyond that, I just thought that's what I wanted to focus on."
Graham illustrates parts of the book with pages of a calendar showing Franny's erratic schedule with multiple auditions one day and, for some weeks at a time, none at all.
"In the '90s, the way you kept your calendar was to write it down, and I well remember at the end of a year you could look back and see literally, physically your year. ... So much of being an actor at any level is waiting. Especially when you're starting out, the waves are even more dramatic of nothing versus something."
Graham's publisher has already asked her for a second book. She thinks Franny's story will continue in Los Angeles.
"I never want to do necessarily the world of superfame and glamour and parties and clubs. A, because I don't know that world and B, it's not interesting to me. But I would like to see this character do her first series. ... I think you could have a lot of fun in Los Angeles. ... L.A. is easier to make fun of and I would really like the opportunity to do that," she laughed.
Once again, Graham will have to fit in writing with her "Parenthood" schedule. The series has been picked up for a fifth season and this time for 22 episodes. The show hasn't had a full season order since year two.
"Given everything else that's going on (at NBC), we sort of emerged as slow and steady and you just don't know. It's year to year."
Could Franny's story be adapted for film or television?
"To me it would be a compelling TV show because it lends itself to that serialization ... and Mae Whitman will star as Franny Banks ... after she's done playing my daughter on 'Parenthood,'" joked Graham.
Fans of Graham's previous series "Gilmore Girls" have renewed enthusiasm and hope for a possible film, thanks to Rob Thomas' wildly successful use of the Kickstarter website to finance a movie of the defunct TV series "Veronica Mars."
Graham says it's not her decision.
"The difference with 'Veronica Mars' is they had a script already and the star and the creator had a united vision in terms of doing it. I had talked to ("Gilmore Girls" creator) Amy (Sherman-Palladino)... years ago about a movie.
"It's not up to me, I can't make it happen on paper, but I understand, and it is a funny world now where like fans made a 'Veronica Mars' movie happen, and I'm sure people are like, 'Well, hold on. I want my favorite thing to be a movie,' and I totally get it and I wish I had a more satisfying answer."
