They'll giggle with delight (and so will you!) when they morph into a real character, with their head atop a tee featuring the caricature body of a princess, ballerina, superhero, or pirate. And each quirky cast member has a unique slogan printed somewhere on the tee — for instance, on the back of the Pirate tee it says, "When I grow up, I will make you walk the plank." Faux layers. Relaxed fit. Crew neck. Long contrast knit-sock sleeves. Hip length. Pure cotton jersey. By Mighty Fine. Imported.
A summery take on a cool-weather favorite, this joyful little dress now has cap sleeves! Everything you love remains: its slightly swingy A-line shape, paintbrush stripes, and wide shoelace bow at the gathered neckline. Above-knee length. Slubbed cotton. By Morgan & Milo. Imported.
Equal parts elegant and comfy, this rockin' romper is a modern wardrobe essential, featuring geometric prints with a tropical vibe. Easy-breezy in lightweight prewashed cotton, with a smocked bodice and flouncy wide legs. Full length. Cotton. Imported.
All hail the queen of the jean! Our super-comfy skinny jeans come in a hip line-up of hues that complement the classic five-pocket details. Easy-on snap closure with adjustable elastic waistband. Zip fly. Lower rise, but with good coverage at back. Garment-washed for softness and to control shrinkage. Cotton/spandex denim or twill. Imported.
Cute and clever intarsia elbow patches and the whimsical wink of contrast-color pocket bags move this cotton/wool cardigan to the head of the class — and the front of her closet. It's a comfortable and stylish layering piece to take her through several seasons. V-neck. Button front. Long sleeves. Side vents. Hip length (slightly longer in back). Cotton/wool blend. Imported.
Horses, stars, and dots — pattern play has never been this much fun!

Ribbed trim at neck, hem, and sleeves. Intarsia on front only. Long sleeves. Hip length. Viscose/nylon/cotton/wool. Imported.

Merino wool/cashmere. By Autumn Cashmere. Imported/Italy.

Video technology is finding its place among virtual meeting tools, from Web meetings to teleconferencing to webcasting. And for good reason: Video lets participants see facial expressions, which convey much more than disembodied words ever could. It brings virtual meetings to life.
Besides saving travel time and costs, the benefits of virtual meetings are many: increased efficiency (often video meetings are more tightly scripted); increased reliability (no flight delays); easy recording capabilities; and improved communication over standard audio conference calls.
At one time, the only means of videoconferencing was via satellite, and costs were astronomically high. But with faster data lines, you can buy good quality teleconference video at a fraction of the cost. And with the "fat-pipe" bandwidth now being laid, videoconferencing will become nearly as easy and inexpensive as long-distance phone calls are now. Here's a look at the options available today, and what's coming around the bend.
Satellite Broadcast If you have large audiences in many locations and need high-quality video, you may want to take advantage of the full broadcast quality that video satellites offer. The video signal is uplinked to a geo-stationary satellite, where it can be broadcast over a very large area. Each downlink must have a satellite dish receiver. But because of the major production equipment, staffing needs, and satellite time involved, this option can easily cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Videoconference Rooms Videoconference rooms are designed for group discussions, distance learning, and any lecture-style meeting format. Features often include document cameras and remote-controlled cameras with zoom lenses that allow viewers to determine the picture. Good quality video can be distributed via a company local area network, ISDN line, or T-1 or T-3 high-speed lines.
If you run a lot of these meetings, consider installing a videoconference room of your own. Today's prices range from $10,000 to $40,000 per installation--but they are dropping. More than 6,000 public sites are available at an average room rental of about $200 per hour. Kinkos Copy Centers (www.kinkos.com) is one of the leaders in this field. For a full directory of videoconference meeting sites, visit the GVCNet Knowledge Base at www.gvcnet. com.
Desktop Systems Desktop units used at a workstation are best suited for one-to-one applications, similar to a telephone call. These units work over local area networks, ISDN lines, standard telephone lines, and increasingly, over the Web. Costs for stand-alone, non-Web-based systems range from $500 to $5,000--but, again, prices are likely to decrease.
Your computer, and ultimately your cellphone, are the future of videoconferencing. A meeting will be a click or a button-push away at your desktop--and eventually, wherever you are. With the advent of DSL (digital subscriber lines) and cable modems, companies are making major strides in this area. The big pluses are convenience and a very low cost--just one computer and a $70 video camera can get you started. But low-quality transmission on a small screen often is a problem. Even at its best, Web video is substantially less crisp than broadcast video.
Web Conferencing Web systems are usually point-to-point applications similar to telephone calls., providing--together with many online collaboration tools such as WebEx (www.webex.com) and NetMeeting (www.netmeeting.com)--not only video but a range of collaboration tools. These include document sharing, desktop sharing, presentations, interactive white boards, and more.
While virtual meetings will never replace face-to-face contact, enhancements in the various technologies described here will continue to make them an indispensable communications tool.

Rev. Thomas Chalmers, 1780 - 1847. Preacher and social reformer (With his grandson Thomas Chalmers Hanna) about 1853
- Scottish Art
Chalmers was a preacher and social reformer. He was on the evangelical side of the Church of Scotland and led the breakaway group that formed the Free Church in 1843. David Octavius Hill photographed the preacher and social reformer Thomas Chalmers sitting with his family in the ground of Merchiston Castle School. In 1844, three years after Chalmers's death, Hill, who was a painter as well as a photographer, painted this picture basing it on his earlier calotype.

Jennifer Yates from the Calhoun County Extension System and the County's Recycling Program spoke to our MG meeting about the County's new sustainability programs. Jennifer's job is outreach and she will be helping us make our county more sustainable. What does that mean? Sustainability, a very big word, is the new buzz word around the country for a new way of life--one in which we become stewards of our environment. We will reuse more, recycle more, use less water, less energy to heat and cool, improve the quality of our water, and work in harmony with nature to preserve and protect our community's resources. As gardeners there are many steps we can each take: compost to reduce the amount of yard waste that goes into the landfill; use more native plants in our landscape; learn to be water wise and develop other means for "smart"yards. If each of us makes small changes in our lives, we can reach the goal of having a sustainable community.
With a grant from Legacy, Jennifer will offer a series of public workshops geared to creating a sustainable community. There will also be a new program, Masters in Conservation, which will be similar to the Master Gardeners Program. Congratulations to our County government, the Calhoun County Extension System, and Jennifer for their important effort to improve our community for ourselves and our children. You can reach Jennifer for more information at 256-237-1621.

Bought for long day hiking and backpacking trips and it has exceeded all my expectations. Love the hiking pole Stow-on-the-Go system (great for when you only need one pole or none when scrambling up/down rocky trails). Taken on several short (2-3 day) backpacking trips, and a many short (3-5mile) & long (6-10mile) day hike trips. Perfect intermediate size pack and could be great for longer backpacking trips if your more a light/ultra-light backpacker. Says 38L, but with top load can always stuff 5-10L more, plus loops on front for sleeping pad, etc. Can comfortably carry 35lbs, incl 1-2L Platypus, and not bulky to carry 10-20 lbs for day hike. Just right for long more remote day hikes (eg NY Catskills) when you want to bring extra gear just in case (for cold weather/emerg) and allows you to add/shed layers and bring extra food/water and shelter. All the extra pockets are great and the stretchy front pouch provides easy access to items on the go.
First, to be fair: these backpacks are gender specific and I got a man's backpack, despite being a girl. I liked the color better :) The fit was disappointing as compared to the Osprey Stratos (female version) - no matter what I did, the kestrel just did not sit quite right on my back, and felt "heavier" than the S of the same size. On the plus side, the Kestrel's pockets are awesome and I love being able to attach things like carabiners easily.
I initially bought this bag to have an extra pack for climbing, backpacking, etc. It's main use right now is for my climbing gear but I used it for a weekend of camping and backpacking and loved the pack. I have recently gotten into climbing so I don't have a whole lot of stuff, but for the things I have, basic essentials (rope, webbing, carabiners, harnesses, chalk bags, shoes) it has been a perfect fit. More gear would require a bigger pack, but so far this one has been great for me. I also use it for weekend trips to put just about anything in it. It synches down nice to accommodate a day hike or allows some stretch to overnight it. The sleeping bag compartment on the bottom was a key thing for me. I like to be able to separate my gear so I don't have to dig to the bottom of the bag. Nalgenes fit into the mesh pockets. All straps come in very useful. Great all around pack from a great brand.
The Osprey pack was even more than what I had hoped for. It is perfect for my needs. Mainly what I want to say in this review is how amazing the Moosejaw customer support is. From the online chat, to phone service, to emails everyone responded quickly and courteously. I had never shopped at Moosejaw before but I am now a big fan. It is an amazing company.
This bag has been with me for four years already and the durability is amazing. Storing water is a breeze, and you don't need to buy a rain cover! . It is a nice feature having the rain fly attached to the bag as well. This bag can be used to cover a long day hike, all the way up to a 4-5 day trek if you plan the rest of your gear out well. The straps are easy to move to fit any body type, as well as the back adjustment. This is the bag I trust when I go on short treks, and I recommend it to everyone!
Was looking for a day-long to overnight hiking backpack and came across Osprey. I'm 6' 180 lbs and found the M/L size to fit just right. This thing has it all, great back support, arches away from you to cut down on that sweaty back feeling, stiff to keep my camelpak water bladder in place and unharmed. Ton's of pockets though I wish it had two pockets on the sides like the Atmos series from Osprey. FYI, if you get a tear in this thing 20 years from now, Osprey will fix it at no cost (presumably you'd have to pay for shipping but don't know, haven't had to use it). This thing is built to take abuse and has way more room than you would think from looking at it. Love this backpack.

The customer service is OUTSTANDING. I have never had a bad time here at PF Chang. The rest. is very busy and so because the food is very good. If you haven't tried this place you should.... it is terrific. I recommend this place.
My Love/Hate relationship with P.F. Chang's – Ok, so my boyfriend lives in Sunnyvale, and he LOVES P.F. Changs. I, on the other hand, don't.
I get that it's Chinese "bistro" food, but really? Almost 10$ for friend rice?
It's over-priced, and the wait here for the food is really long. Also, and this might be petty but, it's been a really hot summer, and I ordered a glass of Coke, maybe Pepsi, I don't remember. Anyways, I got a refill, and then towards the end of the meal, I asked for another refill. The server tells me, "wow, that's a lot of caffiene, are you sure you need another refill?"
So, yeah, just get me my drink, don't be lazy about it and try to cover that up with superficial concern.
For sake of your business, please replace your hostesses – Needless to talk about the food. PF Chang restaurants serve pretty much the same food. Now let's talk about the service. The servers usually do an adequate job smiling, answer questions the customers might have and serving the food. Food and service often come a bit slow but I can take that. The problem lies on the fact that almost EVERY time I go I encounter bad host/hostesses. Tonight there were three hostesses standing there slacking off. They didn't even bother to greet us. Worse off they were absolutely impatient to me asking simple questions like: 'How long are we supposed to wait?' I have no idea what the heck it was that backed their rudeness. I'm sure it wasn't their looks! One advice to the managers: 'Hire new host/hostesses ASAP. Sometimes the customers look for more than just not-so-authentic-but-edible Chinese food.'
This gussied-up chain bustles with singles and families craving Chinese food favorites. – In Short
Towering twin stallions and carved wood screens add majesty and mystery to this stylish restaurant, where well-dressed patrons sip martinis at the bar and families with children feast around large tables or in spacious booths. The menu gives Chinese classics a contemporary tweak; dishes are artfully presented, with many sauces made tableside by servers. Signature plates include diced chicken wrapped in cool lettuce leaves, orange-peel beef with chili peppers, and wok-fried scallops with lemon sauce.
Terrible service – This restaurant is impresive to see. Thats the good news.
The atmosphere is very noisy.
The food is just OK.
But the service is an ABSOLUTE DISASTER. You had to put the soup in your bowl yourself. oh well! but when the main dishes came there were no dinner plates on the table. It took several requests to get the plates while the food sat there and got cold. The waiter never came back to ask if everything was OK or refill our water glasses. Again it took several requests for more tea. Long wait for the bill.
I left a 10% tip but it should have been ZERO. Waiters and management not doing their job.
Poor and slow service – It took a while for a waiter to come by to take our order. We placed the order and people at other tables who arrived later received their order before ours. They ordered soup the same as ours, but yet we received ours later. We also saw the waiters serve the soup to the other tables, but they did not for us. They just set the bowls and the soup on the table and walked away.
Food was not hot at all. It didn't take long before the food was already cold before we could finish. The A/C turned on during a cold day doesn't make sense either.
Rush on weekends – The place is crowded on weekends, be prepared to wait. Very limited choices for vegetarians. Lettuce wrap and garlic eggplant were good. You need to be enlightened to eat the Buddha vegetables. Fried rice and chow mien are worth trying.
BAD< BAD< BAD Service – I will never go to this place again. My boyfriend and i went here for our anniversary and we waited an hour and a half for our table. Our pager finally beeped, and the host told us to wait on the side and the next waiter will seat us. We stood there for another 20 minutes and when i asked the host what the status was, she gave me attitude and said, "has your pager beeped yet? b/c if it didn't then obviously your table is not ready!" I was in shock that she would even speak to me that way b/c i was only asking her when we would be seated. I told her that you told us to stand over to the side. She rolled her eyes and grabed some menus and threw it on the table. On top of that, we had to wait another 20 minutes just to have someone bring us water. The food is not worth the price. I will never go here again.
P.F. Don't Know Chinese – Went there with the cousin once. Thought we would try it. This is basically a Chinese version of Happi House or Olive Garden, or Red Lobster. Food is as authentic as much as a whale is a fish, or that an eggplant is actually made of egg. The only thing good I remember about my dinner was the dumpling appetizer. Actually, I don't remember whether the dumpling appetizer was fried, boiled or steamed. Only that it involved dumplings. The Kung Pao something-or-other was Paoless. This dish is supposed to be spicy, but was less spicy than Rice Krispies. I may not be Chinese, but I have lived overseas long enough in Taiwan to know what is good Chinese food.

Easy tricks to get a cat eyeOur beauty blogger has two very interesting tips for getting a perfect, winged eye liner look. All you'll need is some...tape and business cards? Check it out!Keys to a perfect winged liner.Learn how to get the perfect, winged liquid liner with these easy tricks.
By Charleen Gonzalez for Shine Latina
Creating the perfect, winged liner can be quite a task, and liquid liner is notorious for being tricky to use. With that being said, a sexy cat eye for a night out is the perfect accessory to any outfit, and my tricks will allow you to create one in minutes. Those with a steady hand have the easiest time painting this retro look, but don't fret if you tend to be a little shaky. Instead of free-handing, I you can either use some tape or a business card to achieve the style. Both tools act as a stencil for the outer part of the wing so that you get a perfect angle every time; I'll show you how!
Secrets to a perfect cat eye:
Tape Method
In my opinion, this is the easiest way to get do a cat eye style. All you need is tape and your favorite liquid liner. I use Shiseido Automatic Fine Eyeliner for extra precision and ease of application. First, take a piece of tape, and apply it to the back of your hand so it isn't as sticky when you apply it near the eyes. Then, place the tape from the outer corner of the eye towards the end of the eyebrow at an angle. Use your liquid liner to paint a line from the edge of the tape and connect the line to the lid to make a small triangle. You can make the line as long as you'd like. Fill in the triangle, and line the rest of the eye. It works best to make small strokes with the liner rather than drawing a long, continuous line. When you're done, peel the tape off and...presto! A perfectly, winged liner.
Learn how to get a romantic look for date night
Business Card Method
This trick is good for when you are short on time or don't feel comfortable using tape around the eyes. Take any business card, and angle it from the outer corner of the eye towards the end of the eyebrow. Use the card as a stencil to help you make a straight line for the outer part of the wing. One you have created the wing, you can take off the business card and finish creating the rest of the line. If you have made any mistakes on the wing, simply clean up the line with a makeup wipe.

There's a couple of games you can count on having a yearly iteration over the past decade. Madden, Call of Duty, the Atelier games from NIS, and the Naruto games all have had a steady stream of titles make their way to gamers, some with greater changes than others. The Naruto franchise has had its share of ups and downs with their yearly titles, and their last game, Ultimate Ninja Storm: Generations, while good, ran out of steam quickly. So what has Namco Bandai and Cyber2Connect done to improve Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3? Not a whole lot, but a couple of minor tweaks have certainly made things interesting again. But is it enough to justify the yearly update outside of a larger roster? I guess that depends on how much Naruto you need in your life.
Boasting the largest roster to date, there's over 80 characters to choose from when you want to battle online or battle locally with friends. A great deal of these characters have been present in past games, as have the 40 stages that are present. Odds are that if you had a character that you enjoyed in the past then they will be present here, though they may need to be unlocked via the main story mode. Want a team of the kids before the show took its serious and mature turn? That's perfectly possible. Want a team of nothing but Naruto? It's kind of impractical and not really viable for a competitive match but sure knock yourself out.
Gameplay remains largely unchanged in the multiplayer modes, with a couple of tweaks being made to the support system, allowing for characters to operate more on a Marvel vs Capcom 3 system where they are either offensive in nature, defensive, or balanced. This allows them to do stuff like throw some chakra shuriken or take blows for you when an ultimate jutsu is fired off. Adding specific characters to a support team can also affect the team's overall dynamic and power, giving them an edge in battle. These changes actually add a great deal of depth to combat and I'm pretty surprised by this one addition. The bulk of the changes to this game actually come from an area I found faulty in the last game, the story mode.
The story this time follows the Five Kage/Fourth Great Ninja War arc, Sasuke's gone rogue and it's Naruto versus the rest of the world to try and reach him before he is lost forever. Meanwhile you've got another member of Sasuke's Uchiha clan running around making trouble for each nation. His name is Madara and his plans are nothing short of world domination through the power of the Nine Tails Fox that Naruto carries within him, along with every other Jinchuriki out there. It's as anime as all get out, but the presentation is excellent as always. Cyber2Connect has really outdone themselves in terms of how good this game looks. The story mode this time has a bit more activity in-between fights, allowing players to do some exploring to find items like blueprints and consumables that can be used in combat. It's a bit bare bones, but a lot better than just moving from cut-scene to cut-scene like in Generations. It's nice to have that break every now and again, especially during exposition heavy sections of the game, like the close and start to chapters.
One of the major new changes to the story mode introduces the Mob Battles, which closely resemble segments of the Dynasty Warriors franchise. Hordes of enemies that need to be plowed through, as they lamely attempt to stop your progress. These battles can get a little out of hand at time, but through judicious use of the new dash mechanic and burst meter you'll be cutting down enemies in no time. The giant boss battles that were absent from Generations have also made a return, which is a nice thing to bring back, as it provided a nice break from the standard combat. And for those that have found the previous games to be too easy, there is the Legend or Hero mode, that allows you to make a decision at key points in the story that allow you to shape the story in different ways in exchange for a spike in difficulty.
The work the Cyber2Connect has put into the visuals of this series continues to get better and better. Their efforts with 2012's Asura's Wrath showed what they could do when getting out of the comfort levels of the Naruto games, and it looks like they brought back some of what they learned with that game to Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. The game looks absolutely stunning, with some great animation and some of the best cel-shading in the medium. It's really surprising that outside of the minor aliasing, this game could be a spot on replacement for the show's visuals. I keep making a point of this because I'm that impressed by what I've seen, and really, no one does it better with these types of visuals than Cyber2Connect. The audio is also spot on from the show, which is to be expected, and like always, there's dual audio, allowing players to enjoy this game with a dub, or in Japanese. It's interesting to see how far the industry has come in this regard, back in 2008 with Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, the Japanese audio track was a DLC offering, and wasn't present from the get-go.
At this point I think we're at a wall, what more could be done to make this franchise feel fresh and worth the yearly trip to the game store? My biggest problem with Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 was I am still getting that 'been there, done that' feeling when I play. The computer isn't particularly challenging through the campaign, and a lot of the same tactics work without much deviation. If you want fights that are actually going to test you, then get your personal card set up and get some online matches under your belt. But there isn't much that compels me to drop Super Street Fighter 4, or any of the other fighting games I've dumped a great deal of time in to in exchange for Ultimate Ninja Storm 3.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 feels like a 'Best Hits' version of the long running franchise, 'Now That's What I Call Naruto' as it were. It's doesn't feel like there hasn't been much forward progress however, and even though some old mechanics that worked were brought back, I don't feel like the game has benefited that much by their return. Sure the giant boss battles are cool, but why were they even removed in the first place? Just to put them back in so they could be a bullet point? Those of you out there that love Naruto games aren't going to find much wrong with Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, but for the casual player like me, while I can see what all the fuss is about I just don't think I need to come back year after year. Here's to hoping that Namco Bandai and Cyber2Connect can really shake up things in the future. Cyber2Connect really shook things up for me with Asura's Wrath, so hopefully more of that departure's influence can find its way to future Naruto titles, otherwise it might be time to take a break for a year or two.
More On:
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
Namco Bandai
Above Average
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is another entry in this long running franchise, and it feels like it's been running for a bit too long now. It's not a bad game by any means, it's just starting to really show its age, and the minor tweaks aren't quite keeping up in keeping the game fresh. But for the series newbies there's no better place to start.

Boys will be boys
"Journalists" had a field day with McKenna Pope's online petition asking Hasbro to market Easy-Bake Ovens to boys. They love this story because it facilitates the gender-neutrality theme, one of their hot-button issues. They don't hide their admiration for McKenna's genius and gumption, and between the lines and sound bites, they wonder why Hasbro hasn't thought of this before.
Well, it has. In the 1960s, it produced Easy-Bakes with a popcorn popper in hopes of making the toy more appealing to boys. In 2002, it trotted out the Queasy Bake Cookerator, which produced such masculine delicacies as the Awful Waffle, Dip 'n' Drool Dog Bones, Mud n' Crud Cakes and Delicious Dirt. Its TV ad, archived on YouTube, doesn't exactly ooze with machismo, but it does feature slapstick and boys enjoying themselves.

Flash fiction
|Major forms
|History and lists
|Literature portal
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2012)
Flash fiction is a style of fictional literature or fiction of extreme brevity.[1] There is no widely accepted definition of the length of the category. Some self-described markets for flash fiction impose caps as low as three hundred words, while others consider stories as long as a thousand words to be flash fiction.
One of the first known usages of the term "flash fiction" in reference to the literary style was the 1992 anthology Flash Fiction: Seventy-Two Very Short Stories. Editor James Thomas stated that the editors' definition of a "flash fiction" was a story that would fit on two facing pages of a typical digest-sized literary magazine.[2] In China the style is frequently called a "smoke long" or "palm-sized" story, with the comparison being that the story should be finished before the reader could finish smoking a cigarette.[3]
Other names for flash fiction include sudden fiction, micro fiction, micro-story, short short, postcard fiction, and short short story, though distinctions are sometimes drawn between some of these terms; for example, sometimes one-thousand words is considered the cut-off between "flash fiction" and the slightly longer short story "sudden fiction". The terms "micro fiction" and "micro narrative" are sometimes defined as below 300 words.[4] The term "short short story" was the most common term until about 2000, when it was overtaken by "flash fiction".[5]
Very short fiction has roots going back to Aesop's Fables and Zen koans, practitioners have included Saadi of Shiraz ("Gulistan of Sa'di"), Bolesław Prus, Anton Chekhov, O. Henry, Franz Kafka, H.P. Lovecraft, Yasunari Kawabata, Ernest Hemingway, Julio Cortázar, Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Fredric Brown, and John Cage among others.[6] Examples of Hemingway's pioneering of the form are the 18 very short pieces in his first short-story collection, In Our Time. It is disputed whether (to win a bet), as alleged, he also wrote the flash fiction "For Sale, Baby Shoes, Never Worn".[7] The 'short short story' has been particularly popular in science fiction and mystery genres since the 1930s.[citation needed]
Hispanic literature has many authors of micro-stories, including Augusto Monterroso (whose "El dinosaurio" is often credited as one of the shortest stories ever written[8]), and Luis Felipe Lomelí ("El Emigrante"). In Spain authors of microrrelatos (very short fictions) have included Ignacio Martínez de Pisón, Andrés Neuman, Ramón Gómez de la Serna, José Jiménez Lozano, Javier Tomeo, José María Merino, Juan José Millás, and Óscar Esquivias.[9]
Also in Argentina, among the contemporaries, there are notable contributors to the genre such as Marco Denevi, Luisa Valenzuela, Orlando Enrique Van Bredam and Alejandro Córdoba Sosa.
Italo Calvino consciously searched for a short narrative form, drawing inspiration from Argentine writers Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares and finding that Monterroso's was "the most perfect he could find"; "El dinosaurio", in turn, possibly inspired his "The Dinosaurs".[10]
In France and Francophone countries, micronouvelles have been popularized by authors such as Jacques Fuentealba, Vincent Bastin, Olivier Gechter, Stephane Bataillon and Laurent Berthiaume.[11]
In German, authors of Kürzestgeschichten, influenced by brief narratives penned by Bertolt Brecht and Franz Kafka, have included Peter Bichsel, Heimito von Doderer, Günter Kunert and Helmut Heißenbüttel.
In the Arab world, there is Naguib Mahfouz.
Internet presence[edit]
Access to the Internet has had an impact on the awareness of flash fiction, with websites and zines such as Flash Fiction Online being devoted entirely to the style.[12] Author Paulo Coelho remarked that the "democratization of communication offered by the Internet has made positive in-roads" and directly influenced the style's popularity.[13]
Unlike a vignette, flash fiction often contains the classic story elements: protagonist, conflict, obstacles or complications, and resolution. However, unlike a traditional short story, the limited word length often forces some of these elements to remain unwritten - that is, hinted at or implied in the written storyline. Different readers thus may have different interpretations.

Situated near the heart of bustling artistic and cultural centre of Ubud, Bali, Satori offers comfortable accommodation in a jungle garden setting with stunning rice field views. My home for half the year is a beautiful property that I am thrilled to share with others when I am away. It is our aim to provide you a wonderful base for a a truly memorable Balinese adventure!
NEWS FLASH: We were just advised we have been nominated as a Bali finalist in 2014 AIRBNB HOST OF THE YEAR AWARDS. This is all down to our past guests flooding us with a truly humbling amount of 5 star reviews. To those guys we give great thanks! For those of you who haven't experienced a Bali adventure with us yet, make a plan, we'll do our very best to give you a 5 star experience too! :-)
If you're after an isolated, out of the way retreat, then Satori may be a little too urban for you. Here we offer the best of both worlds, close proximity to all the wonderful services that Ubud offers, within a truly magical setting! We're handily situated a short distance from the heart of the village, hidden behind a high wall at the gateway to the village that offers no clue to the stunning property and rice fields that lie behind it.
PLEASE NOTE: We are lucky enough to receive several requests for bookings daily. To save you and ourselves time we constantly keep our calendar accurate. If the dates read as unavailable please know that they are, we are in that instance, unfortunately, unable to assist you. If the dates are free, then please select INSTANT BOOK to secure your stay with us!
We are pleased to offer single night bookings ONLY if there is a single night available between two existing bookings. This would incur an additional room turnover fee of IDR 100,000 payable direct our housekeepers. Room turnovers are a significant amount of extra work for our staff, so we like to compensate them in this way. Please message us if you would like a single night booking.
We offer 2 accommodation options to select from, The Treehouse listed here, and the Villa listed at this location....
Groups can rent both together for the ultimate getaway.
The Treehouse at Satori:
Constructed carefully amongst a tall stand of trees sits The Treehouse.
The upstairs room is a Javanese teak house, boasting a generously proportioned day bed (can convert to full size single bed) TV/DVD, desk and charming stone bathroom. Glass doors slide back to the stunning view where you can relax in the outdoor furniture created from reclaimed wood from old fishing boats, and take in a vista that flows from a jungle frame to the rice field valley beyond.
Downstairs is the cosy air conditioned bedroom with queen-sized bed, Bose ipod dock sound system and a floor-to-ceiling glass wall inviting in the magical setting. Steps away is an indoor/outdoor kitchenette and an additional bathroom.
A path beside the Treehouse leads alongside our waterfall feature to a private outdoor sitting area. Also set here is a beautiful handmade wooden bathtub, a perfect spot to float with a glass of your favourite something and contemplate the ever-changing light on the rice field beyond.
The shared yoga/massage studio lies between The Treehouse and the neighbouring Villa. It's furnished with two quality massage tables, yoga mats, oil burner and a stereo system pre-loaded with relaxing sounds and music. Pick from our menu of talented massage therapists to visit for the perfect end to a memorable Bali day!
At your service...
While there is no doubt Satori's accommodation and setting will impress we predict it will be our wonderful staff that will ensure your stay is truly memorable. Sak Ming our manager knows Ubud like few others. She is on call to help you with any query or problem. Wayan our Villa housekeeper loves to receive guests and help in anyway that might make your stay more comfortable. Finally Nengah our driver can be called upon at anytime, for airport pick ups, day tours or simply to buzz you around town at a great price.
At Satori we can assist you in arranging almost anything, at cost price. We never receive a commission or kick back from any service or company we might recommend. We simply want you have to have an amazing experience, at the best price possible.
Satori is handily placed only 2km from the heart of Ubud's dining/shopping area. It lies amongst lush jungle gardens above a stream of great importance to the local village. At one end lies a small temple where holy water is collected from an underground spring for important ceremonies and at the other is a bathing and laundry area, a social point for local villagers. Making your home away from home at Satori means the magic of daily Balinese life is all around....
Satori is a celebration of all that is Bali. We hope you'll allow us the opportunity to create for you a truly magical getaway!
Rate includes all taxes, service fee, wifi, use of local cell phone, daily room servicing and daily breakfast basket (Fresh baked bread, local jams, fruit salad, muesli, yogurt, and a selection of teas and coffee - all organic where possible) for 2 guests. Additional guest at $15 per night.
Satori is our creative retreat which we call home for a few months a year. When we are not there we are thrilled to make it available to anyone wishing to enjoy a truly relaxing and luxurious getaway in a jungle garden setting with stunning postcard-perfect rice field views! Our home will become yours.

We booked the Satori treehouse for 2 nights during our 1-week in Bali. A unique piece of property nestled right in the midst of nature and rice fields. Mark's response by email has been very attentive and prompt and our driver Dewa's rates and service were great.
The views from the bedroom were beautitful and so was the outdoor bath! It was a pity the lights in the garden weren't fixed yet so we couldn't enjoy the beautifully lit waterfall and garden. Hope Mark gets it fixed soon! Despite that, their staff helped to put up candles and prepared the outdoor bathing area for us. We also enjoyed a movie night at the loft and ordered takeout from one of Ubud's cafes.
The tree house is lovely, with beautiful views onto lush green rice field. The staff are very attentive, organising massages and fixing the wifi issue very quickly. We used Dewa, the driver, quite a lot- for a lovely day trip to the volcano and hot springs and just into town. You can walk it, but it's a pretty long walk when it's hot and quite 'interesting' when it's dark!! The street outside us quite busy, and you can hear a bit of traffic noise, but it wasn't a huge issue for us. The bed was comfy and breakfast was light and tasty - you might want to negotiate some variety if you're staying for a while, but it was fine for us, and the coffee was good.
We had a lovely stay and would recommend the treehouse for anyone who wants to be a little out of the middle of town, with beautiful views.
Mark was really easy to communicate with - even for last minute queries - and checked with us once we'd arrived to make sure everything was good. We felt very looked after. Thanks Mark.
We had a truly unique and memorable stay at the treehouse. The designs were beautiful, and there were great views of the rice fields from our rooms.
What made the stay most pleasant was the hospitality of Mark and his staff. Mark was always prompt in his email replies, and helped to organise our transport and tours smoothly. Wayan was really cheerful and it was a joy having her there.
Highly recommended!
Just had 6 weeks in The Magical Treehouse where my friends stayed. We rented the villa and the Treehouse! They loved staying up in the trees, the view over the rice fields is spectacular. The house and the very attentive staff made it a wonderful holiday hideout.Great place, loved it!
the house and location was fantastic and magical. Wish I had more time for the location. Outside tub overlooking paddy fields!
We had a lovely stay at Satori Treehouse. The view of the rice paddies that you wake up to every morning is hard to believe, considering how close to downtown Ubud you are. Our hosts were gracious with the widest smiles we have ever seen, and served us with great coffee, tea, muesli and toast to get us started each day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a place to stay while visiting Ubud and the surrounding area.
We had a great time here. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the facilities were clean and in good condition and the view is just stunning. I definitely recommend this place to everyone!!
The Treehouse at Satori was absolutely amazing! The staff was always smiling and eager to help with any needs we had! The walk into town was only about 20 minutes but still tons of delicious restaurants nearby! Wayan the housekeeper recommended Kafe and it was so delicious my boyfriend and I ate there three times! Ubud itself is a beautiful place and the Treehouse is the best place to stay. Such a romantic getaway! With everything you need at your fingertips! Don't miss out on the outside bathtub overlooking the rice fields!
We don't know where to begin with this review - Mark's treehouse was absolutely incredible. The experience was phenomenal from start to finish. Mark arranged for a driver, Dewa, to pick us up and take us to the treehouse. Dewa was excellent and we hired him for another day to take us all over to see various cultural sites, temples, and the rice fields. The staff at Satori is amazing, everyone was so welcoming and helpful, and each morning we were served a delicious breakfast. The treehouse itself is stunning, it can't be captured in photos just how beautiful it is. We were awestruck at the entire villa, everything is very well kept and maintained and the view over the rice fields is breath taking. Mark was quick to reply to any inquiry we had, and his staff organized massages for us in the villa. We have nothing but praise for the Satori treehouse - we were very sad to leave and we will most definitely be back. Thanks again to Mark and the Satori team for everything!
Had a wonderful week at the treehouse. The upstairs living room/sleeping loft was a pleasant retreat from the bustling world outside. We would sit on the porch overlooking the rice paddies and read a book while the waterfall and chirping birds toned out most of the traffic noise from the street. The upstairs bathroom was also very nicely done with an open air shower. Wayan and Kadek were extremely accommodating, with Wayan even showing us how to make the small coconut leaf "baskets" that hold the daily offerings that you see all around. They also arranged for our driver, Dewa, who appeared at our doorstep with a smile on his face and never once got ruffled by the chaotic driving in the area.
Be aware that if you sleep in the loft, with the windows open, you will hear the traffic and, on some nights (like the full moon festival), the ceremonial chanting and drumming that can continue until 1 am.. On those nights, be prepared to either watch a dvd (provided in the room), join in the ceremony, or use earplugs to sleep.
Overall, a very pleasant stay!
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.

Mounting my TV on the wall.
My wife and I decided to mount our bedroom tv on the wall. For this project we used a few hand tools like a mesuring tape, level, drill bit kit from Ryobi and our 18V lithium drill/driver also from Ryobi. With this drill we finished our project really fast. Some of the things that we like about this drill are that it is very light weight, the battery run very long and it was very easy to use. We love our Ryobi drill !!

A sputum fungal smear is a laboratory test that looks for fungus in a sputum sample.
Sputum is the material that comes up from air passages when you cough very deeply.
KOH test; Fungal smear - sputum; Fungal wet prep; Wet prep - fungal
A sputum sample is needed. You will be asked to cough deeply and spit any material that comes up from your lung into a special container.
The sample is sent to a lab and examined under a microscope.
There is no special preparation.
There is no discomfort.
Your doctor may order this test if you have symptoms or signs of a lung infection, especially if you have a weakened immune system due to certain medicines or diseases such as cancer, HIV, or AIDs.
A normal (negative) result means no fungus was seen in the test sample.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results may be a sign of a fungal infection. Such infections include:
An abnormal result may also be due to acute pulmonary eosinophilia (Loeffler syndrome)

For starters, how hard is your water? If you do not know, please buy a HACH 5B test kit, test and let us know. What size is your system? What are the dimensions of the tank? I will be glad to post the programming guide for this unit once you get us the basics. Congrats, the WS-1 is a great system.
In general, you should only have to put salt in it, and clean the brine tank every few years. I would also recommend sanitizing the softener since its cleanlieness is questionable.

Autoimmune hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that occurs when immune cells mistake the liver's normal cells for harmful invaders and attack them.
Lupoid hepatitis; Chronic acute liver disease
This form of hepatitis is an autoimmune disease. The body's immune system can't tell the difference between healthy body tissue and harmful, outside substances. The result is an immune response that destroys normal body tissues.
Liver inflammation, or hepatitis may occur along with other autoimmune diseases, including:
Autoimmune hepatitis sometimes occurs in relatives of people with autoimmune diseases. This suggests that there may be a genetic cause.
This disease is most common in young girls and women.
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease include absence of menstruation (amenorrhea).
Tests for autoimmune hepatitis include:
You may need prednisone or other corticosteroid medicines help reduce the inflammation. Azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine are drugs used to treat other autoimmune disorders. They have been shown to help people with autoimmune hepatitis, as well.
Some people may need a liver transplant.
The outcome varies. Corticosteroid medicines may slow the progress of the disease. However, autoimmune hepatitis may advance to cirrhosis. This would require a liver transplant.
Call your health care provider if you notice symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis.
Autoimmune hepatitis is usually cannot be prevented. Knowing the risk factors may allow early detection and treatment.

WEBINAR: Case Study: PHP on IBM i - Work Order Management System
September 04, 2013 - September 04, 2013: 9:00am PDT, 12:00pm EDT, 5:00pm GMT, 6:00pm CET
This session will describe a recently completed project in which an IBM iSeries shop replaced a legacy, green-screen RPG application with a PHP application running on Zend Server on IBM i. A utility company needed to replace and modernize their internal work order management system, and chose a web browser interface and PHP as the technology backbone. The system is largely object-oriented, using several components of the Zend Framework. Custom classes include extension of Zend Form which reads DB2 metadata to automatically build forms and field groups, with automatic type checking and input field sizing as well as other features derived from the DB2 metadata. Authentication uses IBM i user profiles. Other highlights of the design include classes for nav buttons, paginator, search filter, CSV download, DB connection singleton class, and reporting and form printing using JOD Reports running on a remote server called from PHP.
