Comments On Sep 17, 2014:The cleaner does a great job and so does the lube, but have to be very careful as a tiny bit of extra lube and it will be all over the tire, hub and you even if you let it sit overnight. Once I figured out how much to use it has worked good.

Comments On Jul 26, 2014:I don't like the chain lube included in this package much when I compare it to a couple others I prefer. This stuff is messy & I'm not nearly a clean bike guy. Even with 20-30 minutes of set up time I have terrible fling off. I get nasty wheels/hubs & this stuff all over. The other 2 products are awesome.

Comments On Jun 17, 2014:The cleaner is great. It gets all the gunk off and then dries, just a little slow. The lube is awesome as well.

Comments On Dec 03, 2012:I'm very happy with all the Maxima lube products. Applicates well, clings well, and chain and sprockets wear slowly. Great products at a great price. I do not use all four products at the same rate, so will probably not order the Kit until the last can is gone.

Comments On Nov 06, 2012:The cleaner works better than anything I've ever used, the penetrating oil removes any moisture and gets in where it needs to and the clear chain lube doesn't attract dirt/dust. By far the best way to care for your chain w/o removing it.

You're welcome! I think this is a great challenge...I don't always have time to browse the galleries, but this sort of forces the issue! I'm amazed at all the beautiful work out there and such different looking layout using the same materials. I get lots of great ideas from what others do...In fact, I found one (or more) I want to scraplift!!

Prosecutors on Monday released the jailhouse phone calls and bank records of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman charged with killing Trayvon Martin, that they claim prove he misrepresented his financial status at an April bond hearing. Bank documents show George Zimmerman's checking account balance increased from $370.45 on April 1 to over $128,000 by April 27.
During much of this period, Zimmerman was operating a website soliciting funds for his legal defense in the racially-charged shooting case.
Seminole Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester set Zimmerman's bond at $150,000 on April 20 after members of his family testified that he was of very little financial means.
Zimmerman's bank records show a flurry of activity leading up to the hearing date, with his balance dwindling from over $80,000 on April 16 to less than a thousand dollars on April 20.
Zimmerman, 28, returned to Seminole County jail earlier this month after Lester revoked his bond after ruling his wife, Shellie Zimmerman, misled the court about the prolific fund raising.
A second bond hearing has been set for June 29. Shellie Zimmerman has been charged with perjury over the comments.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, has said he was unaware of the funds as of April 20.
O'Mara disclosed the funds to Lester soon after learning of them and shut down the website in favor of the independently managed Legal Defense Fund in late April.
The 28-year-old defendant was charged with second-degree murder on April 11 after he shot and killed the unarmed Martin in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26. A volunteer neighborhood watchman, he claims the shooting was in self-defense.
But a six-week delay in Zimmerman's arrest inspired protests nationwide, with many claiming the killing of Martin, an unarmed black teenager, was racially motivated.
Prosecutors also released the audio of six of the 151 phone calls Zimmerman has placed from jail.
Zimmerman and his wife appear to speak in code on the calls, using terms such as "$15" to refer to "$150,000" and "Peter Pan" to refer to his fundraising website's PayPal account.
The defendant does not discuss the case on the phone calls, but possibly made a joke about wearing "a hoodie" as a safety measure for his release on bond.
Martin was wearing a hoodie during his fatal encounter with Zimmerman. Martin's wardrobe inspired the "Million Hoodie March" in New York City in March that called for Zimmerman's arrest.

Building on similarities between earthquakes and extreme financial events, we use a self-organized criticality-generating model to study herding and avalanches dynamics in financial markets.
We consider a community of interacting investors, distributed on a small world network, who bet on the bullish (increasing) or bearish (decreasing) behavior of the market compared to the day before, following the S&P500 historical time series. Remarkably, we find that the size of herding-related avalanches in the community can be strongly reduced by the presence of a relatively small percentage of trader s, randomly distributed inside the network, who adopt a random investment strategy.
These results suggest a promising strategy to limit the size of financial bubbles and crashes. We also find that the final wealth distribution of all traders corresponds to the well-known Pareto power law, while that one of random traders only is exponential. In other words, for technical traders, the risk of losses is much greater than the probability of gains compared to those of random traders.
We study the influence of noise on information transmission in the form of packages shipped between nodes of hierarchical networks.
Why does the adherence to norms not prevent conflict? While the current literature focuses on the emergence, maintenance and impact of norms with regard to cooperation, the issue of norm-related conflict deserves more attention.
We develop a general game theoretical model of "normative conflict" and explain how transaction failures on the macrolevel can result from cooperative motives on the microlevel. We differentiate between two kinds of conflict. The first results from distinct expectations regarding the way in which general normative obligations should be fulfilled, the second from distinct expectations as to how the norm should restrain actions based on self-interest.
We demonstrate the empirical relevance of normative conflict in a version of the ultimatum game. Our data reveal widespread normative conflict among different types of actors – egoistic, equity, equality and cherry picker. Our findings demonstrate how cooperative intentions about how to divide a collectively produced good may fail to produce cooperative outcomes.
Are random trading strategies more successful than technical ones? A.E.Biondo, A.Pluchino, A.Rapisarda, D.Helbing
In this paper we explore the specific role of randomness in financial markets, inspired by the beneficial role of noise in many physical systems and in previous applications to complex socio- economic systems. After a short introduction, we study the performance of some of the most used trading strategies in predicting the dynamics of financial markets for different international stock exchange indexes, with the goal of comparing them with the performance of a completely random strategy. In this respect, historical data for FTSE-UK, FTSE-MIB, DAX, and S&P500 indexes are taken into account for a period of about 15-20 years (since their creation until today).

Models of complex systems have become a staple of business strategy, and now they are showing early promise for improving economic forecasts.
For cargo carriers, the most direct route is not always the cheapest. In the early 2000s, Southwest Airlines adopted a new approach to shipping: Rather than switching cargo from one flight to another to minimize the distance it covered, the airline would take circuitous routes to destinations on fewer flights. The strategy seemed counterintuitive, but it has saved the company millions of dollars in storage rentals and cargo handlers' wages.
WEF Report: Unlocking The Value Of Personal Data: From collection to usage
A good reminder on Principles for the Trusted Flow of Personal Data
The 2008 financial crisis has highlighted major limitations in the modelling of financial and economic systems. However, an emerging field of research at the frontiers of both physics and economics aims to provide a more fundamental understanding of economic networks, as well as practical insights for policymakers. In this Nature Physics Focus, physicists and economists consider the state-of-the-art in the application of network science to finance.
Net gains -p119
Physics — and physicists — have had much to contribute to economic and finance. Now the science of complex networks sets a way forward to understanding and managing the complex financial networks of the world's markets.

Network opportunity -pp121 – 122
Michele Catanzaro and Mark Buchanan
Our developing scientific understanding of complex networks is being usefully applied in a wide set of financial systems. What we've learned from the 2008 crisis could be the basis of better management of the economy — and a means to avert future disaster.
Complex derivatives -pp123 – 125
Stefano Battiston, Guido Caldarelli, Co-Pierre Georg, Robert May and Joseph Stiglitz
The intrinsic complexity of the financial derivatives market has emerged as both an incentive to engage in it, and a key source of its inherent instability. Regulators now faced with the challenge of taming this beast may find inspiration in the budding science of complex systems.

Reconstructing a credit network -pp125 – 126
Guido Caldarelli, Alessandro Chessa, Andrea Gabrielli, Fabio Pammolli and Michelangelo Puliga
The science of complex networks can be usefully applied in finance, although there is limited data available with which to develop our understanding. All is not lost, however: ideas from statistical physics make it possible to reconstruct details of a financial network from partial sets of information.

The power to control -pp126 – 128
Marco Galbiati, Danilo Delpini & Stefano Battiston
Understanding something of the complexity of a financial network is one thing, influencing the behaviour of that system is another. But new tools from network science define a notion of 'controllability' that, coupled with 'centrality', could prove useful to economists and financial regulators.
Nature Physics Focus: Complex Networks in Finance
Dirk Helbing's Presentation at FuturICT Workshop 13/14 Feb at MIT Media Lab
A model similar to the computer game Civilisation recreates human history and shows the importance of warfare in stabilising society
"However, running a similar model for the modern world will be much more complicated, says Dirk Helbing of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, who is working on such a model. This is because war and violent conquest are no longer the primary ways in which social institutions and culture spread. Mass media, migration and globalisation would all have to be taken into account, he says."
Rethinking Economics Using Complexity Theory: Dirk Helbing & Alan Kirman
In this paper we argue that if we want to find a more satisfactory approach to tackling the major socio-economic problems we are facing, we need to thoroughly rethink the basic assumptions of macroeconomics and financial theory. Making minor modifications to the standard models to remove "imperfections" is not enough, the whole framework needs to be revisited.

Dans une étude récente, deux chercheurs expliquent qu'au grand dam des analystes financiers, en quête de justifications rationnelles aux fluctuations des cours, les marchés demeurent obstinément imprévisibles.
Alessandro Pluchino and Andrea Rapisarda
We study fifteen months of human mobility data for one and a half million individuals and find that human mobility traces are highly unique. In fact, in a dataset where the location of an individual is specified hourly, and with a spatial resolution equal to that given by the carrier's antennas, four spatio-temporal points are enough to uniquely identify 95% of the individuals. We coarsen the data spatially and temporally to find a formula for the uniqueness of human mobility traces given their resolution and the available outside information. This formula shows that the uniqueness of mobility traces decays approximately as the 1/10 power of their resolution. Hence, even coarse datasets provide little anonymity. These findings represent fundamental constraints to an individual's privacy and have important implications for the design of frameworks and institutions dedicated to protect the privacy of individuals.
Biological competition is widely believed to result in the evolution of selfish preferences. The related concept of the 'homo economicus' is at the core of mainstream economics.
However, there is also experimental and empirical evidence for other-regarding preferences. Here we present a theory that explains both, self-regarding and other-regarding preferences.
Assuming conditions promoting non-cooperative behaviour, we demonstrate that intergenerational migration determines whether evolutionary competition results in a 'homo economicus' (showing self-regarding preferences) or a 'homo socialis' (having other-regarding preferences).
Our model assumes spatially interacting agents playing prisoner's dilemmas, who inherit a trait determining 'friendliness', but mutations tend to undermine it. Reproduction is ruled by fitness-based selection without a cultural modification of reproduction rates.
Our model calls for a complementary economic theory for 'networked minds' (the 'homo socialis') and lays the foundations for an evolutionarily grounded theory of other-regarding agents, explaining individually different utility functions as well as conditional cooperation.

Has Janet Jackson Converted To Islam?
Wednesday, October 3, 2012
Rumor has it that Janet Jackson has secretly converted to Islam. As previously reported, Janet is planning a secret $20 million wedding with billionaire fiance Wissam al Mana. Now -- according to The National Enquirer, a Turkish author has claimed in his 2010 book Atlas of Creation, that Janet is a practicing Muslim -- just like her brother Michael. Adnan Oktar said, "I sent that nice Janet Jackson a copy of my book. I also sent her late brother a copy. Her brother was a Muslim. Janet is also, in fact, a Muslim. Like her brother, she keeps it hidden. She is a devout believer...like her brother."
Another source added, "I think Janet knows that the American public as a whole doesn't think too favorably of the Islamic religion. It's highly unlikely she will ever publicly address her religion."
The source added that Janet has undergone several lifestyle changes over the past few years -- like dressing more conservatively.
The source said, "The lifestyle that Janet has with Wissam is a far cry from the celebrity culture that she's accustomed to, where she was idolized and was seen as a powerful woman. Right now, Janet is living a double life. While in the United States and Europe, she still plucks her eyebrows and wears hair extensions. But when she's visiting Wissam's family in the Middle East, she doesn't put on makeup or hair extensions, and she wears traditional Muslim clothing. It seems as if Janet has lost all sense of her old self. She is madly in love with Wissam, and willing to do almost anything to make him happy."

Twenty years ago, a vet technician named Janice Wolf set up a refuge to help animals in need.
She committed her life to those who had been abused, left on the side of the road, starved, and deemed "beyond hope".
Her amazing work earned her more patients, and her heart was too big to turn them down.
Before she knew it, she was flooded with 60 animals of all different species.
Some of the animals never come into natural contact with the other species…
And most of them had already gotten off to tragic starts in life.
Everyone thought it seemed like a recipe for disaster. But Janice knew better.
Her amazing love quickly spread to every animal she touched.
They began loving each other too.

Cayo District
(Chaa Creek)
Belize Cayes
(Ambergris Caye)
The centuries peel away as you trek through dense jungle to reveal the 3,000-year-old ruins of the ancient Mayan civilizations laid out before you, and your heart leaps as you reach out and touch the cold stone remains of a lost world.
Here at the Xunantunich ruins, you'll explore the large plazas, temples, palaces and pyramids of the once thriving city that reached its peak during the Classical Period between 300 and 900 A.D. Journey on to Cahal Pech where you'll win commanding views over the Maya Mountains and fertile Belize River valley. Elsewhere, float with the tide down a remote rainforest river in an inflated inner tube; see the rainforest canopy close up on a thrilling zip line adventure; swim with harmless nurse sharks in warm Caribbean waters; snorkel vibrant coral gardens; and relax on the pristine beaches of Ambergris Caye.
This active trip delivers an extensive exploration of Belize's world-famous Mayan ruins, led by the insightful storytelling of your knowledgeable local guides. Your team of English-speaking guides and private drivers will also ensure the rest of your trip is a thrilling, no-stress experience that you'll remember for decades to come. And you'll be at home in premium accommodation that includes a serene rainforest lodge and a relaxed Caribbean resort.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
Upon your arrival you will be met by a local representative who will help you locate your vehicle.
Transfer to San Ignacio by private vehicle.
Be sure to pre-book your local excursions through us to ensure you make the most out of your time in Belize. Optional activities include: Xunantunich & Cahal Pech Maya Ruins Tour, Crooked Tree Reserve and Baboon Sanctuary, Caracol and Rio Frio, Cave Tubing and Zip Line Adventure, Barton Creek Cave and Butterfly Farm).
Take a tour of the famous sites of Xuanantunich-situated on the banks of the Mopan River. Xunantunich means " Stone Woman " in Mayan. Xunantunich was a thriving city near the end of the Classical Period ( 300-900 A.D.) with large plazas ringed and pyramids. The centre of the site is composed of six major plazas surrounded by more than 25 temples and palaces. After lunch continue to the site at Cahal Pech "Place of the Ticks ", just outside the town of San Ignacio. This site center sits on the crest of a steep hill on the west bank of the Macal River and the central acropolis, approximately 900 feet above sea level. It provides a commanding view of the Maya Mountains to the south and the fertile valley of the Belize River to the northeast. This center includes pyramid temples, palaces, and a ball court as well as five stelae and an altar. The site shows a gradual architectural growth and indicates occupation likely running through the entire Classical Period. Tour includes entrance fees and lunch.
Jaguar Paw Cave Tubing and Zip Line. Begin a short jungle hike upriver. At the "put in point" you begin your scenic and tranquil journey down the river floating on inner tubes and enjoying the views of the surrounding rainforest. Observe cave formations as you travel down the river. In the afternoon you will take part in an exhilarating zip line adventure where you can get a bird's eye view of the lush vegetation and tropical wildlife in the area.
Your tour will begin when you are picked up in your private vehicle by your personal guide and driver. You will transfer to Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve which is a 106,000 acre protected national park. In the 1950's, 60's and 70's, many Belizeans were employed as timber cutters in this area and on the tour you will see that history. Later you will visit Chiquibul Forest Reserve. About a 1 hour drive from Pine Ridge you will arrive at the beautiful Maya site of Caracol (which means the Snail), named by archaeologists because they found numerous snails on site. The original name is Oxwitza which means the sky place. Caracol is the largest archaeological site in Belize, covering 30 square miles in thick, high canopy jungle, and includes five plazas, an astronomic observatory and over 35,000 buildings that have been identified. Among them is a massive pyramid (Caana) capped by three temples and rises over 140ft above the jungle floor. When the tour is complete you will return to your hotel. Tour includes a private guided tour of the site with entrances and picnic lunch. You can choose to stop and explore the Rio-on Pools and Rio Frio Caves before returning to your hotel if they wish.
Enjoy your flight from San Ignacio to San Pedro with Tropic Air. Departure: 12:45 PM, Arrival : 1:50 PM
An airport transfer (courtesy of your hotel).
Hol Chan means Little Channel in Mayan and is a natural break on the barrier reef where ocean depth ranges from 3 to 30 feet. Here guests will enjoy seeing the breath taking myriad of marine life and huge coral garden, among which are flourishing stag horn corals and sea fans.

"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

"The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments.
Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing.

Tyler police are looking for the man they say robbed a gas station late Wednesday night.
The robbery happened around 11 o'clock near the intersection of West Gentry Parkway and Parkdale Drive in Tyler.
Police say the man walked into a gas station, threatened the store clerk and then stole the entire cash register, taking an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police describe the suspect only as an older black male, last seen fleeing the gas station by foot. The teller told police the man did not produce any kind of weapon during the robbery, so police are not sure if the suspect is armed.
At this time, no injuries have been reported.
If you have any information, you're asked to call police immediately.

Nuclear officials discuss MOX project
"MOX has borne a significant amount of the cost and leadership in restarting nuclear construction in a regulated environment in the United States," said Steve Marr, Shaw AREVA MOX Services executive vice president and deputy project manager. "From renewing a previously dormant supply chain, to ensuring qualified vendors and craft workers, the MOX project has led the way, and we look forward to continued interactions with industry to ensure all lessons learned are shared. The result of this meeting was an open forum on best practices for nuclear construction from all the participants."
Members of the group toured the MOX facility and met with project leaders to learn about design, construction, procurement and regulatory experiences. The group also received information on MOX fuel, which will be produced by the MOX facility for use in commercial nuclear power plants.
Participants in the conference included industry representatives as well as a member of the Nuclear Energy Institute, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations.
The MOX project began construction in 2007 at the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site and is more than halfway complete. The project is widely-suspected to have funding cut back dramatically in the next week or so. The project recently had its price tag raised by $2 billion, to $6.8 billion.

It has been 20 years since Edward left. Bella never stopped loving him.
This story is now complete. Hope you enjoy it.
After All These Years
Setting: 20 years after Edward leaves in New Moon.
Chapter 1
Unlike some people, I loved washing dishes. It was the time that I allowed my mind to wander freely; the time where I replayed the day in my head; the time when I allowed memories to wash over me. Maybe it was the warm water. Maybe it was the feeling of washing everything away. Maybe it was that the window over the sink faced the forest and brought Edward back to my mind each day.
I didn't push Edward from my mind anymore. The first year after he left, I couldn't even think of him without clutching myself in physical pain. I couldn't bear to say his name…couldn't bear to hear it. But that had changed over the years. I welcomed the memories now. For me, there would never be another love. I knew I had found my one true love as a young woman. I knew Edward was the only piece that could complete me. Twenty years later, I still loved him.
Tonight, Edward was so clear in my mind. Jacob and his family had surprised me with a birthday cake. It was the first birthday since Charlie had died and they didn't want me to be alone. I preferred to skip over birthday celebrations. Like most women, the thought of getting older was offensive, but for me birthdays also signified the end. The end of Edward and me-----the memory of my eighteenth birthday party at the Cullen's was one of my blackest memories.
Jake and I remained best friends all these years. He imprinted on Anna when he was nineteen and they were married shortly after. Life had changed for Jacob after the Cullens left Forks. He no longer shape shifted. There was no need. Once in a great while, he would tell me that he smelled a sweet smell in the air, warning me to be careful. I think he thought it would scare me. It never did. I only hoped that meant that an old friend was passing by, or more importantly, Edward was near.
As I washed and dried the last plate, I replayed Jacob's last words to me tonight. "Lock up good tonight, Bells. I smell a strong sweetness in the air." He had no idea how I wished that were true.
I hung the dishtowel to dry and went out on the back stoop, staring at the forest. It was dark, but it didn't scare me. Before turning in for the night I spoke out loud, "Good night, Edward. I love you."
Chapter 2
I still kept the bedroom at the top of the stairs. I had repainted and gotten new furniture along the years. But in all those years, I never replaced the mattress. It was there that we talked for hours; there that he held me, and that we kissed. It was worn now, and honestly my back would most definitely benefit from a new mattress. I just couldn't part with it.
I got ready for bed and turned on the bedside lamp. I opened my window a crack, like I had every night since he left. Then I took out my journal. I always wrote in it on nights that I felt particularly preoccupied with memories. I learned years ago that writing my thoughts down would often ward off the nightmares I had so often. Somehow I wasn't sure it would help tonight. My journal, like anything else about my life, was not a typical journal. I actually wrote letters to Edward. I had filled over a dozen blank books with letters to him. Maybe someday, when I was gone, he would read them and understand the depth of my love for him. He would know that I figured out why he really left and that I eventually forgave him. Tonight was a night I knew I needed to write to him. And so I began…
My Dearest Edward,
I've missed you so much today. It's my birthday. I turned thirty-eight today. That means it is almost 20 years to the day since you've been gone. I never would have believed that I would be without you after all these years. On days like today, I still feel the hole in my chest. I know it was your love for me that allowed you to leave. But, I wonder, do you still think of me? I love you, Edward...as much now as ever before.
I stopped there because tears were making it difficult to write. I cried myself softly to sleep.
Shortly afterwards, the nightmare began. It was always the same when it came. Wandering in the forest. Calling out his name. Crying. Never finding him. Feeling so alone. And then…waking up in a cold sweat, sobbing for what I would never have again.
I tried to calm myself, counting my breaths, in and out.
Then I heard his voice, "Bella."
I sat upright and looked around the room. It was empty, of course. But, I didn't feel alone in the room. Oh, God. Tonight was particularly bad. I was having delusions again. It was years since I had heard the delusions this clearly. I tried to concentrate harder. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in…
I felt a cool breeze in the room and instinctively pulled the blanket higher to my chin.
"Edward?" I whispered into the dark room.

New York Times
Microsoft is launching its new operating system, Windows 8, this week.
Windows 8 is a radical departure for anyone who has used Windows in the past two decades. The new interface is designed primarily for touch-screens. And based on some anecdotal responses from those who have tried it — professional reviewers and normal people alike — it's not exactly love at first sight.
SAI's Matt Rosoff reviewed a preview version of Windows 8 a couple of months ago. He found it "needlessly confusing and hard to use."
The AP said the new OS interface "baffles" consumers.
The New York Times' David Gallagher invited 5 people to try Windows 8 and filmed them while they did so. One of the five people seemed to like the look of the design ("Awesome." "This is so cool."). But figuring out how to actually go about doing things seemed to confuse the hell out of everyone — including the person who liked the design.
The video is embedded below.
Here are some of the quotes:
- "I don't like this design."
- "I think it's really confusing."
- "Some of it feels intuitive once you've already done it, but it doesn't feel automatically intuitive."
- "It should be easier. I shouldn't have to think about it."
- "Beats me." [In response to a question about how to print something]
- "I felt like the biggest computer user amateur ever. It made me feel stupid."
I've never used Windows 8, so all I know about it is what I've seen in this video and read in a couple of reviews. One thing I can tell you I already hate about it, though, is the apparent need to manipulate it by touching your laptop screen.
New York Times
I gather there's a "normal view" or something that gets you back to the friendly old Windows 95 start screen again (at least I hope there is). And I gather Windows 8 is really written for tablets and maybe it will be great on those. But...
I've already made the jump to Mac, which was painful — every minute I have to spend learning how to use a new tool is a minute I could have spent actually working — so I'm presumably not the target customer for Windows 8.
But one thing I would worry about if I were Microsoft is this:
Now that it will apparently require a lot of effort to learn how to use Windows 8, many Windows users who have always been tempted to try Macs but haven't because they don't want to learn a new system now have a perfect excuse to finally make the jump... because even if they stay with Windows, they're going to have to learn a new system.
In short, it seems like Microsoft's taking a big risk here.
If people love Windows 8, and Microsoft can stem its loss of share in the PC market and start winning some share of the tablet market, great.
But if they're confused and befuddled, Microsoft will be in an even tougher position than it already is.
Watch 5 normal people try to figure out Windows 8:

I bought this pack to be used as a 72 hour emergency pack for my wife. She had been using a nylon duffle but had a hard time carrying it. We selected this pack because it appeared to be light weight, water resistant with outside pockets. The sholder straps are adjustable and the waist and chest straps help to stablize the sholder straps. I would like to see about 4-5 more small out side pockets. This pack is stored in the trunck of oour car for emergency use.
This is a very large back-pack, bought it for my son who is always going on weekend trips. Helps keep things organized with the multple compartments
Glad I purchased this back pack it`ll suit my son & all his boy scouting needs ! Im thinking of buying another back pack for myself. This has large pockets to stash lots of little things.
This is a nice size, light weight, and has ample pockets.
I needed a backpack that I would use occasionally , and to keep my gear in until I was ready to use it again: no more than I use it I doubt if I will wear it out soon,,, ...For extensive use I would recommend something bigger, heavier, and more expensive. For the money , this was perfect for the purpose intended...
I purchase these for my non-profit www.lovepeopleproject.org. They are perfect for the price, size, and quality. They are basic old style mountaineering backpacks that have an internal size of 60+. I'm very happy I can get them here at O, I'm saving money, and providing more "Life Packs" for more people. Delivery is 2 days..insane. Happy shopper!
One of the straps with a buckle / attachment device on the end that is to fit into the other end of the buckle was reversed so when the buckle is connected the strap is not flat but had a roll / twist in it, if the strap is flat the buckle upside-down. I pulled the sowing out the end of the strap and turned over the buckle then re-sowed the end and its fine. Ended up being too large for what I got it for so I got a smaller one and kept this one for camping.

Landing Page Optimization for More Profitable Experiences
Designing for findability, usability, and brand reinforcement are basic requirements of web experience design. But the purpose of a website is not just to be found and admired. It's to generate leads, sales, and revenue.
By using a conversion rate optimization process that tests UX and persuasion hypotheses, you can create pages that are proven to generate more revenue. Results like that get positive attention from upper management and the C-suite.
Let's look at an example of how this works.
Conversion Rate Optimization for PlanetAmex.com
When PlanetAmex.com, an exclusive business-class travel booking service, needed to improve their sales from their paid search landing pages, they knew the standard experience redesign process wouldn't be enough. They needed to be sure that a new landing page design would deliver more sales, not just look better or have a pleasant user experience.
The home page of PlanetAmex.com receives thousands of visitors per month and 91% of them are new. The site attracts a high quality audience: people in the top 2% of households who are looking for first class and business class flights.
A high bounce rate on their old landing page was hurting sales
Their visitors weren't spending enough time on the site to make a favorable impression, let alone an immediate purchase. Even though their traffic was high quality, their bounce rate was very high.
Something about the landing page experience was repelling many of the visitors and their opportunity to sell to these potential customers evaporated with every bounce.
What would they need to do to persuade a greater percentage of people to stay, click, and get a quote or call to book right away?
Ask any dozen UX professionals, web designers, or marketers what should be improved on this page, and you'll get a dozen (or more) opinions. But the business owners couldn't take the risk of just putting up a new page based on opinions. They needed to know for sure that they would get better results with their new page.
The Solution: Conversion Optimization
The only way to know for sure is to run statistically valid tests of new user experiences, design, and copywriting variations. By running controlled A/B split tests on the live site, company management can get real data from live visitors and know with certainty which page variation would maximize sales.
The most simplified version of the conversion optimization process shows three steps:
Step 1 – Analyze
There are a number of frameworks you could use to guide you in analyzing a landing page experience. WiderFunnel provides a popular framework for conversion rate optimization called the LIFT Model™ (which stands for "Landing page Influence Function for Tests"), shown below.
You can use this as a guide for analyzing page experiences from the perspective of the visitor.
Step 2 – Hypothesize
The UX and persuasion problems you'll identify using a framework like the LIFT Model can be flipped into hypotheses, which can then be tested.
For example, if you believe there's a clarity problem with the copywriting hiding the main benefits of the service within blocks of copy, a hypothesis could say: "Adding clear benefits in bullet point format will increase the booking conversion rate." A hypothesis like this is something you can go and test in a controlled experiment, which leads us to step 3.
Step 3 – Test
When the PlanetAmex.com management asked us to improve their landing page conversion rate, I knew we needed to test dramatically different page variations. We did just that by designing several new pages that we tested alongside the original "control" page.
In just a few days, we discovered that one of the pages lifted conversions through their most valuable channel, phone calls, by 48%!
Here's the winning page design:
You can use a conversion optimization on all of your website projects to ensure the changes you recommend lead to real business results. You will look like a hero and, importantly, your boss, client or project sponsor will too!

Add new comment
Thanks for your comments, everyone.
Testing is an iterative process and consistency throughout the site is an important consideration. If the header and navigation had been redesigned in this test, the experience throughout the other pages would have been inconsistent and likely reduced conversions, even if the initial design was an improvement.
This test isolated the body content area. Whether or not you like the look of the new page, it works!
It can certainly still be improved through more testing, and this first iteration for this page has given the company a significant sales boost to justify the strategy.
Some of these comments are a good reason to test in themselves. Opinions are meaningless!
I agree with the other comments even if the second / optimized example is better than the original: If I landed on any of the two pages more or less intentionally, my first impression would be "spam", "phishing site" or at least "crappy, unusable advertising not relevant for me". Based on my first impression, I would kill the browser window instantly and continue my online journey to elsewhere. In my eyes, the page is way too busy and screams "advertising". The art of seducing users / customers often involves understating your intents at the first glance.
Interesting, but a perfect example of benchmarking a crappy landing page for A/B testing. Wonder if the site actually attracts "high quality audience" or just the intermediaries.
This only proves that some amount of conversion can be achieved without tasteful execution. But I am sure a LOT can still be optimized from a persuasion and conversion angle.
I agree with Dan, it's better but still horrible.
This is one of worst user experience designs you can get.
I understand design needs to work for the brand, sales and users.
But this page doesnt even give you a pleasurable brand experience.
There's nothing luxury about this design, except the little header on top.
Overall this actually feels very cheap.
It's fantastic this page delivers conversion results, but when the competition copies this format you're just one of the brands.

January Term Housing takes place during the intersession between the Fall and Spring terms.
During the January Term, New York University offers students registered for January Term classes the opportunity to live on-campus in our conveniently located residence halls. Please note that there is a limited amount of housing space available during January Term, and priority is given to academic year NYU students. Non-NYU students enrolled in January Term courses at NYU will be offered housing on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested, please continue reading for more specific information about accommodations, cost, and how to apply.
Accommodations are single or shared bedrooms (with current NYU students), in multi-bedroom traditional or apartment-style suites with bathrooms. Please note that there are a very limited number of single rooms in apartment style halls. Apartment style suites have kitchens; traditional hall suites do not. All bedrooms are furnished with a bed, desk, and dresser for each resident. Smoking is not permitted in NYU Housing. Linens and bedding are not provided.
January Term Housing is based on the 3-week period that classes are in session:
Rates are based on 3-week stay and cannot be pro-rated:
*Please note that NYU Campus Transportation is not available during January Term. Although we will endeavor to place you as close to campus as possible, we cannot guarantee it. All residence halls are accessible to the Washington Square Campus via New York City public transportation.
Please review the information below to determine how to request housing during January Term classes. The deadline for applications was Tuesday, December 3, 2013.
NYU students with both a Fall 2013 & Spring 2014 NYU Housing license may continue to stay in their existing residence hall assignment during January Term for no additional charge and do not need to complete any application.
NYU students who have only a Fall 2013 or Spring 2014 NYU Housing license (e.g. fall residents leaving for spring study abroad, new spring residents etc.) or NYU students who have no housing license for the 2013-2014 academic year must be enrolled in NYU courses in order to live on-campus for January Term. These students have to complete the January Term housing application through their NYU home account (click on the NYU Life tab, then on NYU Housing and Meal Plan forms), and will be charged for 3 weeks in January Term housing (see rates above).
Residents who only have a Fall 2013 NYU Housing license may be required to relocate from their Fall 2013 housing assignment to another room within NYU Housing. Fall 2013 residents must check out after their January Term classes have ended, no later than 12 Noon on Saturday, January 25, 2014.
Visiting January Term students interested in January Term housing should indicate their interest in housing on the January Term 2014 online registration form, which will be available October 15, 2013. Once the registration form is submitted, you will be emailed instructions to complete the online housing application.
Please note that available spaces are likely to be in shared bedrooms within apartments that have been occupied by residents for several months prior to your arrival. To help you get acquainted with your temporary roommate, you'll receive his or her email address as soon as your housing assignment has been made. Since January Term takes place during the intersession between Fall and Spring semesters, your NYU roommate may be away for this period, or may come and go from his/her NYU Residence assignment for periods of varying length.
For information about meal plan options and dining hall hours during January Term, please consult our dining page.
January Term Housing cancellation requests should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. If your cancellation request is received by January 5, 2014, no fee will be assessed. There will be a $250 cancellation fee for any reservation canceled after January 5, 2014.

NORFOLK- When The Supreme Court effectively struck down the heart of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by a 5-to-4 vote, Former Norfolk Vice Mayor Joseph Green was deeply disappointed.
Green was there, decades ago, when Norfolk's "Ward System" of voting for city council elections was put into place as a direct result of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The former vice mayor says he is not happy with the Supreme Court ruling freeing states from special federal oversight under the Voting Rights Act. The court ruled the data Congress used to identify the states covered by the act was outdated and unfair.
The ruling states Congress had not provided adequate justification for subjecting nine states, mostly in the South, to federal oversight.
"In 1965, the states could be divided into two groups: those with a recent history of voting tests and low voter registration and turnout, and those without those characteristics," Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote for the majority. "Congress based its coverage formula on that distinction. Today the nation is no longer divided along those lines, yet the Voting Rights Act continues to treat it as if it were.
Green has a simpler statement on the ruling, "It's turning back the clock, and we have made such great progress," said Green.
Green,a retired minister said the Voting Rights Act created a level playing field for all.
"I think it's the most important thing that happened and that includes Brown versus the Board of Education. I think the Voting Rights Act might be he most important because it gave people the basic right we have as Americans," Green lamented.
The Voting Rights Act was especially important in Virginia, with its documented past of such discriminatory practices as the poll tax. In 1993, Virginia finally got its first African-American member of Congress since Reconstruction. That was when, as a direct result of the Voting Rights Act, the Commonwealth created the minority-majority Third Congressional District. The seat has been held ever since by Democrat Bobby Scott. He has concerns about the Supreme Court decision.
"There's certainly disappointment," Scott said. "Section Five (of the Act) prevents covered states from implementing discriminatory practices and scheme to dilute the effect of minority voting rights."

Former Governor Eliot Spitzer is attempting to get on the ballot to run for city comptroller.
Spitzer, who resigned in 2008 after he was caught in a prostitution scandal, is collect petitions to get on the ballot. He only needs 3,750 signatures to run for comptroller.
Spitzer told Good Day New York on Monday he hopes the public will be able to put the prostitution scandal aside and take him seriously.
"I certainly hope so… it's five years now since I left office… I will make that request every day in public life," said Spitzer.
In an interview with the NY Times, the former Governor said he is "hopeful there will be forgiveness, I am asking for it."
Spitzer's main competition would come from Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, who left the field of mayoral candidates to run for comptroller.
"Many people felt that Scott Stringer would have had this wrapped up until this kind of unexpected turn of events," said Jeanne Zaino, political analyst
The former governor is a multimillionaire and would self-fund his campaign, according to the Post.
He becomes the second New York politician trying to comeback from a sex-scandal in this election cycle. Former senator Anthony Weiner is trying to make a comeback as a candidate for mayor.
Despite Weiner Tweeting lewd images of himself, some polls show he is leading the race for mayor.
"I think that with Weiner's comeback and rise to be in a first place status, it seems that it's given Spitzer some kind of energy," said Zaino.
