On the way to the romantic city of Venice, stop in Verona to see Juliet's balcony.

NOTE:December 20 Departure – Christmas dinner in Barcelona and New Year's Reveillon dinner in Rome
Check into your hotel. Tonight, meet your Tour Director and fellow travelers. (D)
Not only is it the capital of Spain, but because it is situated 2,180 feet above sea level, the Spaniards rightly say it's the nearest thing to Heaven. Enjoy the main highlights on the included guided city sightseeing excursion. The optional trip to Toledo is very rewarding! The splendid setting of this old walled city above the Tagus was made famous in El Greco's painting—even now, it's like a great open-air museum of Spanish history and art. (B)
Start the day traveling southeast to the magnificently located old town of Cuenca, which stands high above the precipices of the Jucar and Huecar Rivers. It is famous for its "hanging houses" that are suspended over the Huecar ravine. Journey on to Valencia to enjoy the sights of Spain's third-largest city with a Local Guide. Also on the agenda: a visit to the magnificent SCIENCE PARK, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava. (B,D)
Today, drive north to nearby Castellón for a visit of its PENISCOLA CASTLE, built by the Knights Templar in the 14th century. The promontory on which the castle and town are located is a fine reminder of medieval times. Continue your journey through orange groves and seaside resorts past Tarragona to Catalonia's lively and beautiful capital, Barcelona. (B)
This morning's sightseeing with a Local Guide includes a drive around Monjuïc to see the Olympic Stadium and a great panoramic view of the port and city. The drive continues to the city center of Plaza Catalunya and to Paseo de Gracia to admire the greatness and eccentricity of Gaudi's architectural masterpieces in the Houses Batllò and Mila and the Sagrada Familia (entrance fees not included). Afternoon at leisure—maybe join the optional excursion to Montserrat. (B)
Leave Spain today and cross the border into France for a visit to Collioure. This picturesque village is nestled in an idyllic place on the rocky Mediterranean coastline and is sheltered by the Pyrenees. Later, head north to reach the oldest city in France—Marseille, for dinner at a local restaurant and overnight. (B,D)
Capital of the Provence, Marseille was founded by the Greeks in 600 BC and is France's oldest city. Packed with fascinating sights, an orientation takes you to the city's bustling ancient heart—the picturesque Vieux Port (old port), where elegant markets and handsome townhouses surround the boat-filled harbor. Then, head for the hilltop BASILICA NOTRE DAME DE LA GARDE for a visit and stunning views of the city. This afternoon, follow the coastal route toward Cassis, a small fishing port lined with cafés and restaurants. This afternoon arrive in Nice. Later, why not join the optional excursion, Monte Carlo by Night? (B)
Start the day with a visit to a PERFUME WORKSHOP in Èze. Later, time at leisure to do as you please! Dabble in the Mediterranean Sea, stroll along the famous Promenade des Anglais, or join our optional excursion to the artists' town of St. Paul de Vence. (B)
Enjoy the wonderful coastal scenery along the French and Italian Rivieras as you travel toward Cinque Terre. Take a break in your journey by riding the TRAIN from Levanto to La Spezia. The short train ride takes you through the spectacular Cinque Terre region, where the beauty of the rugged cliffs and romantic fishing villages once inspired Lord Byron. If accessible, you can walk along the famous Sentiero dell'Amore (Love Path), a breathtakingly beautiful trail carved into the rocks, affording dramatic sea views (conditions permitting). Continue to La Spezia for an overnight. (B,D)
Travel via Parma, known for its Parmesan cheese and ham, and Modena, famous for its balsamic vinegar, before reaching the romantic city of Verona. See Romeo & Juliet's balcony, and enjoy some time at leisure. Continue to the Venice area, where you will spend two overnights. (B)
Venice is more like a marvelous film set than a real-life city, with its criss-crossing canals, gondolas and water buses, arched bridges, palaces, and piazzas. The included orientation starts with a BOAT RIDE to St. Mark's Square and is followed by time at leisure and a chance to watch VENETIAN GLASSBLOWERS fashion their delicate objects as they did centuries ago. Don't miss out on the optional gondola trip, gliding along the picturesque canals with a local troubadour to serenade you. (B,D)
An interesting drive southward across the Po Delta. Take a break in the journey in Assisi, enclosed by ramparts and little changed since the Middle Ages. This is the town of the deeply mystical and poetic ST. FRANCIS. See the UPPER and LOWER BASILICA with its beautiful frescoes of Giotto, then head for Rome. (B)
Rome, the "Eternal City," is a city steeped in history, vibrantly alive and exciting, and absolutely unique! Included sightseeing with a Local Guide starts in St. Peter's Square, followed by an optional visit to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. Later, enjoy another included visit to the ROMAN FORUM and iconic COLOSSEUM. Time for optional excursions or to continue exploring Rome at your own pace. (B)
Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (B)
Transportation: Touring by private, first-class, air-conditioned motorcoach; canal boat ride in Venice; train Levanto-La Spezia
Buffet breakfasts daily; 5 dinners, including a dinner at a local restaurant in Marseille

Dear timetablers,
Thank you for incredible feedback you've been sending us. As a result of your generous support, we bring you the ultimate scheduling experience and much more productive timetabling on any device in the newest Prime Timetable.
We have optimized automatic generator specifically for Chrome browser that majority of timetablers are already using and the results are astonishing: generation is now 2 times faster than in the plugin app and at least several times faster than in any other modern browser. We highly recommend you give Chrome a try (if you haven't already) and reward yourself with blazingly fast automatic generation.
The most requested feature in our online user voice is here. Clipped cards have a little clip icon in the top left corner and will be scheduled and dragged all together, which is essential for block scheduling.
Although you may hide error notifications by pinning conflicted/rotated cards, the recommended approach is to merge cards instead, and create one out of two or more cards by combining all classes/groups/students and teachers into one lesson.
In a single move you can drag multiple cards simply by drawing rectangle selection around them using the mouse. In order to select the whole day/period/resource or specific range, use Ctrl/Cmd and/or Shift key. When dragging a selected card, the other(s) will follow. Pretty neat, huh?
Web app works on Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, Android phones and tablets, Chromebooks, Linux and countless other devices. No installation needed. You can set your preference by choosing Help > Options > Preferred App.
We hope you will enjoy new improvements and wish you happy scheduling!
All modern browsers are perfectly suitable for everyday use, but when it comes to web apps and especially intensive calculations like automatic timetable generation, they give drastically different results.
Our statistics show that Chrome is by far the most popular browser among Prime Timetable users and therefore we did some extra optimizations for this browser in order to achieve maximum performance. The results are astonishing:
It turns out that by using Chrome, the performance of automatic generator is 2-100 times faster than in any other modern browser, fully reaching desktop application performance on the web! If you don't already use Chrome for your timetabling work, we recommend that you give it a try.
The generator will work considerably faster in Chrome than in our plugin app, a couple of times faster than in Firefox and sometimes even 100+ times faster than in Internet Explorer 11.
When it comes to performance, we have a clear winner: Chrome. The second best is Firefox and then comes Safari. If you are using Internet Explorer, we highly recommend that you avoid using it for any kind of complex school scheduling (although we do have high hopes for Microsoft's new browser called Edge). Please note that all browsers are still supported, even the 14-year-old Internet Explorer 6 via the plugin app. However, if you want the best performance, use Chrome and reward yourself with blazingly fast automatic generation!
Dear timetablers,
Ow(l)ing to your generous feedback and support, we have added tons of timetabling features ready for you to use as of today! New Prime Timetable enables even more timetabling scenarios and performance improvements that you can enjoy on any device you might be using: Mac, PC, tablet or smartphone. No plugins, no installation, it just works! Sounds interesting? Read on.
By utilizing the power of the latest modern browsers we have been able to drastically improve automatic generation performances. Just click and enjoy automated scheduling at its best. Use Firefox, Chrome or Safari for superior experience. If automatic improvements have no progress after a minute or so, it's time to revise your data or constraints. Feel free to get in touch with our customer support at any time by choosing Help > Contact us.
The newly redesigned notification system will instantly warn you upon any change with updated notification number appearing in the top right corner. Clicking the bell icon will open a current list of all errors and warnings.
If needed, some notifications can be ignored by pinning related cards. More in Help: http://www.primetimetable.com/help/notifications/
If the new option Allow subject to be taught more than once per day is checked, you won't be notified if the subject is scheduled more than once a day.
When you set desired maximum number of lessons in a row for a teacher, the automatic generator will try to resolve this requirement and a notification will warn you if some of your staff is teaching more than allowed number of consecutive lessons.
In order to better organize and group rooms, you can now specify room capacity, room tags, e.g. "1st floor, lab", and building name. That way, when adding alternative rooms for the lesson, you can easily select all rooms on the 1st floor or all rooms with specific capacity/tag.
After entering building names for rooms, set Allowed daily number of moves between buildings to minimize moves for staff members and let the generator do the magic. Additionally, the software can ignore teacher moves after the window.
If you are currently using our plugin app and want to try new features, just select web app by choosing: Help > Options > Preferred App.
Hope you like the new improvements, and don't forget to give us a feedback, send us email or add your ideas to our online user voice. Happy scheduling!
Dear timetablers,
Surprise your students and colleagues with all-new Prime Timetable, reimagined and rebuilt from ground up to work on any device. Beautifully optimized schedules are now just a tap away on your tablets and smartphones. No installation, no setup. It just works. Visit primetimetable.com to create a free account (if you haven't already), log in and enjoy scheduling like never before. Prime Timetable is still the only app in the global market fully accessible both online and offline, and now we have taken a giant leap forward by making it accessible wherever, whenever!
Seeing is believing. Therefore, we have made a video showing automatic generation, instant validation, manual adjustments, dragging cards with just a touch of your finger and sharing schedules online. And all this on a pocket size phone! The results are groundbreaking. Watch the video.
When you tap/click the class or teacher's name in the master schedule, an individual schedule is opened. Anyone can bookmark that page to the home screen of iPhone/iPad or Android smartphone/tablet, or pin that page to the start menu on Windows Phone, or create a web shortcut on Mac OS X, or just put it in the browser's bookmark/favorites for easier access. Whatever you or your colleagues/students prefer.
Once a colleague or a student has visited the published timetable they will be able to see it again any time they want and without internet connection! The master and all individual schedules are accessible offline. Even if you are stuck in the traffic without Wi-Fi, your schedule is always there. Again, no installation, no setup. It just works.
Choose Help > Options > Preferred App and pick the app that best fits you. The web app works everywhere and will be automatically opened if you visit primetimetable.com using tablet or smartphone. The plugin app is available even offline as a desktop app and is up to 3 times faster when it comes to generating complex school schedules.
Both web and plugin apps are available at the price of one. Plus, we offer special discounts (up to 50%) for multi-year purchase. Check plans and pricing and choose the plan that suits your school.
Your invaluable feedback has helped us enormously to improve the application, and so far we have implemented more than 200 ideas that you have requested. We are truly grateful for your generous support and would like to invite you to share your experience with Prime Timetable and spread the word so that others can get their schedules done and have fun!
Visit our brand new website for more info and enjoy scheduling like never before.
There are two ways to create a two-week timetable using Prime Timetable. One obvious way is to create one timetable and set 10 days. But that is not what you want to do if you need to make a two-week timetable with almost identical lessons. For example, let's assume that 4 days in a week have exactly the same timetable and there are some differences only on Friday.
In this scenario we have two types of lessons:
All other variations boil down to these (A) and (B) types. For instance, there could be a lesson occurring 1.5 times per week, which means there are two lessons in the first week and one in the second. In that case one lesson is type (A) and the other (0.5) is type (B).
Here is the procedure of scheduling such two-week timetables using Prime Timetable:
Of course, there are many more variations but the procedure is similar.
Dear timetablers,
Your students and colleagues can now see published schedules on their phones, tablets and desktop and even when they are offline. No installation needed, no plugins, it just works! Take a look at this 1 minute video and read more:
You might want to share the schedule you have created to check whether it suits everyone's needs or whether it needs any further changes. Maybe you want to do away with endless printing of drafts or final schedules and save some paper as well? Whatever the reason, follow these 3 simple steps:
When you click or touch the first column in the master schedule, individual view is opened and the link in the browser is changed. That means that anyone can bookmark their individual schedule to the home screen of their iPhone/iPad or Android smartphone/tablet, or pin the website link to the start menu on Windows Phone, or create a web shortcut on the Mac OS X, or just put it in their browser's bookmark/favorites for easier access. Whatever you or your students and colleagues prefer.
Once a student or a colleague has visited the published schedule, they will be able to see it again any time they want even without internet connection. Yes, the whole school schedule and all individual schedules are accessible offline. Even if you are stuck in the traffic without Wi-Fi, you will be able to see your schedule as well as everyone else's!
Virtually any device, browser or OS you or your colleagues and students might have is supported! We have really gone extra mile here; even the 13-year old Internet Explorer 6 is supported. Of course, the latest and greatest browsers are capable of so much more, as they do animations, display nice rounded corners and linear gradients in the back of the card, and generally enable better user experience.
You can define custom period intervals and appropriate cards will be repositioned and resized accordingly. This way you can publish highly flexible schedules like in this image.
Example of 9th grade schedule for K-9 school2 weeks with custom periods, breaks, half-time, lunch, electives
Don't worry if you need to make changes to an already published schedule. All student and teachers schedules will be automatically updated once you save changes, so everyone gets an up to date schedule.
We are sure your students and colleagues will love beautiful schedules on their phones, tablets or any other device. Enjoy school scheduling like never before!
Dear timetablers,
Take a couple of minutes to watch this groundbreaking video completely shot using only a pocket sized smartphone.
Danijel Stulic, Prime Timetable co-founder shows generating and managing the whole school schedule using his pocket sized smartphone
The video speaks for itself. Prime Timetable is available on Mac, PC, tablet, phablet, smartphone, on iOS, Android/Linux, Windows Phone OS... and most probably on any future device. Well, any device which supports web standards. From the largest desktop monitors to the smallest phone screens, portrait or landscape orientation, from mouse and keyboard as input to finger touch and pen, Prime Timetable is accessible whenever, wherever.
And now excuse us for a moment, we are going to have a big pint of beer and celebrate :). Cheers! Stay tuned and enjoy school scheduling like never before!
We are very excited to show you an exclusive preview of a brand new Prime Timetable that we have reimagined and rebuilt from ground up to work on any device you might have. Take a minute and watch a demo completely shot on a 7'' tablet. How about generating the whole school schedule in seconds with just a touch? Impossible, you might say. This demo shows how easy it is to generate a timetable automatically (in a matter of seconds!), instantly validate it upon any change, adjust manually by dragging cards with a finger and publish it online to share with colleagues and students. Yes, you'll be able to do all this and so much more...We bet you haven't seen scheduling like this before.
Danijel Stulic, Prime Timetable co-founder, presenting a brand new app which works on any device
Please note that we are going to support both apps: the Silverlight plugin app, which you are using today and which works on Mac and desktop PCs, and the new one which works everywhere, even on tablets and smartphones. Also, you will have the full control to choose which your preferred app will be and that application will be started after you log in.
The new application, shown in the video above, will be available very soon. Stay tuned and enjoy school scheduling like never before!
Last year a deputy principal from a school in Australia informed us that they supplied iPads to all their staff and inquired whether it's possible for them to use Prime Timetable on iPad.
In an instant, we had 50 teachers browsing Prime Timetable on their tablets. But how exactly have we handled that? We added device detection which redirects all tablets and smartphones to our web timetable viewer, avoiding plugin app which doesn't work on those devices. And we felt that we could do much better than that…

From time to time our customer support had to send emails related to installing Microsoft Silverlight. Although we provided detailed instructions, around 10% of our users didn't know how to install plugin and start the application. Just when we instructed one user how to install, we encountered problems with users he shared timetables with. So the issues multiplied…
Occasionally a teacher would approached us with a request for non-plugin software. It's a bit weird that admins of school network seem to allow downloading and installing desktop apps, which implies much greater risk, whereas they forbid using plugins, which is considered much safer. So we had to deal with such restrictive policies... Hey admins, plugins are ok :)
Such issues made us question our core technical decision:
For a good reason! Plugin enabled us to develop a complex and demanding application inside any browser so our users can use it from anywhere (school computer, laptop, home PC....). Microsoft Silverlight brought desktop-like performance online, inside the browser and even offline, delivering superior user experience our customers are enjoying today.
One major disadvantage of using plugins is that they don't work on tablets, smartphones or any new devices emerging every day. So, how to reach these users was the question we asked ourselves and we started imagining…
Imagine picking any device you might have, start the app and actually generate a whole school timetable. What if dragging cards could be as easy as playing puzzle for toddlers, moving pieces around with just a touch of finger... and all that without having to exclude even the most complicated features like instant validation, extra views and many more. Does that sound impossible? Would you like to use such an app? Well, we certainly would and therefore we are inviting you to join us in our quest for a superb school scheduling solution that will work on any device out there… Stay tuned!
Dear timetablers,Based on your generous feedback, we have developed new Prime Timetable 6.0 with lots of features, improvements and latest fixes. Whether you are looking for automated or manual timetabling or both we've got something for you, not to mention special discounts for multi-year purchase up to 50%. But before we dive into any details, first and foremost
Thank you for promoting Prime Timetable!

We can't express enough gratitude to all of you who are promoting Prime Timetable to other principals and schools around. That really means the world to us. BIG HOOT and BIG THANK YOU! Ow(l)ing to your devotion and continuous support we bring you:
Our unique automatic timetable generator (the only one in the market that works in your browser of choice on both Mac and PC since 2009) has been rewritten from scratch to serve you better. It has been specially optimized for complex timetables and in some cases we have seen the increase in performance up to 5-10 times than before. In other words, it means that if you have waited for a couple of minutes for automatic generation to finish, you will wait in a matter of seconds, now. Well, just click and let us know how it works for you.
Simply add more than one desired rooms using More... button in Manage > Lessons > Add and that lesson will be displayed with equal number of cards in the room view. When dragging a card with several scheduled rooms, all related cards are automatically moved horizontally to a new position. However, only the card being dragged can be moved vertically so you can change its room without affecting other related room cards. You can manually choose any room, even if it is not in the desired or alternative room list.
You don't want to get bored with your timetabling work, do you? The new markers will prove that previously slow and tedious task of defining constraints can be fun, game-like and yet more productive. Red , yellow and blue markers and eraser will let you easily draw or erase forbidden, unwanted or mandatory marks directly into any master, individual or extra timetable view. For instance, using red marker you can mark the 6th period as forbidden for a specific resource (class, teacher, room or subject) and the automatic timetable generator will respect your input and try to solve all the constraints for you.
Based on your feedback we have improved custom periods and now you can define more than one custom periods during the default period. For instance, during the default period of 45 minutes you can add 3 shorter lessons of 15 minutes each. When adding new custom period(s), you will be asked if appropriate cards on default periods should be moved and resized accordingly, so you don't have to do that manually. Positioning and resizing of custom cards is also improved to better support gaps between default periods and different period intervals. As always, when dragging a card, the card shadow indicates where the card will be dropped.
Click to undo and to redo any view changes. Apart from that, a new history icon lets you see all previous changes, so you can undo all or some of them with just one mouse click. History list is also helpful because every action has its description, for instance: 1 card dragged, 2 marks erased, 240 cards changed by generator, 1 card cleared, 2 positions marked as mandatory… so you get a clear picture of all previous changes. Both multiple undo and redo are animated, so you can see the cards moving from one position to another. Also, all changes are tracked in the instant validation window, which helps you decide which position better suits you.
There are lots of other subtle changes and improvements, here is just a short list:

Hi, mathuwm, & welcome to our insidious domain of cartographical obsession. Nice to have you here!
I think your maps do a great job of conveying the lay of the land (well, of the dungeon & the tower, to be specific), so you need to change anything unless you are looking for uses other than, say, a GM map to direct your PCs. (I'm assuming these are for an RPG, since you posted over at ENWorld)
Now, if you want to go the next step the sky is the limit. You could do "pull out" maps of specific areas that have very realistic details, for example. But I'd ask yourself why bother. If you like doing that sort of thing, or if you would like it for your players' enjoyment, then do it. But I see nothing wrong with what you have. They're simple, direct, and useful. I myself only put the mega time into my own maps when I want players to see something as I am imagining it, or when I feel like prettifying my maps (which, because I love maps, is usually )
I hope this gave you some food for thought, & if you do revise I hope you will repost here so we can see & enjoy your progress!
Take care

Up to the beginning of the 20th century, many professional artists prepared their own canvases. As more and more amateurs took up the brush, the demand for canvases prepared by traditional methods grew. In 1906, in the middle of Belgium's Flax District and near the River Leie, Victor Claessens founded a company to produce artist-quality canvas, using and refining the

Style 109 — Medium textured, medium weight linen with an acrylic primer, an all-purpose linen that is similar to Style 120 universal and Style 20 oil primed, but smoother in texture.
Style 166 — A heavier medium texture linen that is ideal for landscape painting. With its tighter weave and stronger thread it will support larger works and heavier paint layers. Style 166 acrylic primed is the same linen as Claessens Style 66 oil primed linen.
Thread Count — The tightness of the weave, in cotton and linen canvas, is measured by the thread count, which aggregates the number of threads per inch in the warp and the weft. Thread count is measured in threads per square inch, abbreviated TPI. A higher thread count produces a finer cloth, prized for detail as in portraiture, but not necessarily as strong.

I'm something of a Beatles aficionado and so it causes me considerable shame to admit the following:
For a lamentably large number of years I believed the group's last album was "Let it Be."
I am not at all consoled by the fact that I recognized this error before I was old enough to drive.
Nor does it lessen my embarrassment that my mistake, besides being a common one among Beatles fans, is not, in a semantic sense, even wrong.This requires an explanation that is, well, Clintonesque: It depends on what the meaning of "last" is.
"Let it Be" was indeed the last album of new songs The Beatles released for sale.
Except they weren't the last songs the foursome of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr actually recorded, which seems to me the most salient fact.
The music that became "Let it Be" was already preserved on tape when the group, in the spring of 1969, went back into the studio to make "Abbey Road."
The Beatles finished that album later in the year and it arrived in U.S. record stores on Oct. 1.
The four never recorded together again.
The "Let it Be" tapes, meanwhile, languished in Apple Corp.'s vaults until early 1970 when producer Phil Spector — whose famous "wall of sound" sometimes sounded more like a mound of marshmallows — got ahold of them.
"Let it Be" the album went on sale May 8, 1970, and the passage of nearly four decades has hardly tempered the animosity certain fans harbor for Spector as a result of his malignant machinations.
I happen to think The Beatles themselves deserve some of the blame for "Let it Be" falling short of the standards they set with such masterworks as "Revolver." Although those standards were of course of an unprecedented height, the collection of songs on "Let it Be" was by my reckoning the group's weakest since 1964's "Beatles for Sale."
Still, like Spector's most vociferous critics I can never truly forgive the man who managed to make the greatest rock band in history sound disturbingly like The Carpenters at their schmaltziest.
In a just world he'd have been sentenced, just for the infamy of "The Long and Winding Road," to a lifetime of producing the Bay City Rollers.
In any case I believe that I have finally atoned for my past gaffe about the sequence of The Beatles recording career.
I did so by acquiring this past week the ultimate Beatles collection — the remastered compact disc boxed set that was released, with much fanfare, on Sept. 9.
(I was prepared for this but my wallet, alas, was not.)
I came home this past Saturday afternoon from another elkless elk hunt. My mood brightened immediately when I saw the black box, embossed simply with "The Beatles," on the kitchen counter.
The set, which my wife, Lisa, ordered from a local music store, includes all 13 of the group's albums, as well as a two-CD collection of their singles.
Consequently I devoted much of my spare time Sunday to converting most of the songs — there are 217 but I decided I didn't need every one — into .mp3 format and loading them onto my handheld player.
(It is not an iPod, but a much cheaper knockoff. I intend no offense to Apple.)
This was a laborious task but one tinged, rather pleasantly, with nostalgia.
Although I became acquainted with The Beatles' music as a child, I belong to a different generation.
Our paths, quite literally, never crossed: The group disbanded in 1970, the year I was born — about six months before, in fact.
My parents introduced me to The Beatles.
Both are fans. My dad seemed to me to know more about the group but my mom held the trump card: She saw The Beatles in concert, on Aug. 22, 1965, at the Memorial Coliseum in Portland.
She remembers that a lot of girls swooned. She remembers little about the music, probably because nobody who attended a Beatles concert — including John, Paul, George and Ringo — could actually hear the music since the girls, at least until they swooned, screamed at a combined volume that the comparatively primitive sound systems were helpless to compete with.
My mom, however, even as a teenager was not prone to histrionics, and she remained conscious throughout the performance.
So anyway I grew up listening to The Beatles on vinyl LPs at home and on cassette tapes, which my dad recorded from the albums, in our cars.
I remember quite vividly driving to the Coast for a weekend vacation and laughing with my brother as "It Won't Be Long" blared from the speakers just before we got our first magical sight of the gray Pacific.
My dad owned most of The Beatles' albums but, in what seems to me now a curious omission, none later than "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
I've never asked him about this but now, having written about it, I suppose I must.
My parents had a lot of other rock-and-roll records, from popular groups such the Rolling Stones, the Kinks and the Fifth Dimenson. But I always liked The Beatles best.
Hundreds of writers with vastly more talent and eloquence than I possess have tried, with varying degrees of success, to explain what made The Beatles unique.
But the person who came nearest to the heart of the thing is not a writer but another pop star: Elton John.
At least I think it was he who said (and this might not be verbatim but it's close) The Beatles were "the most musical group I ever heard."
This might seem an odd compliment, to credit a group that plays music for being musical.
But I think I know what Elton meant.
He meant that no other group so perfectly melded the sounds of guitars and drums and bass and human voices and the myriad other instruments that graced Beatles songs.
It's a kind of magic, really.
Some writers have tried to legitimize The Beatles to those classical purists who deride the group's work as mere pop fluff, dandelion seeds compared to the sequoias penned by Mozart and Bach.
But I think these writers' attempts, though understandable, are ineffective, and even a little silly.
Even the most earnest and reasoned effort to justify The Beatles in that way, to test their achievements against the rigid science of musical theory, seems to me to degrade their feats as artists, which is after all what they were.
Famously, none of The Beatles could read music that was plotted, note by note, on a scale.
This is the epitome of irrelevance.
That Lennon and McCartney were perhaps unable to tell a treble clef from a bass clef did not impede them from writing "A Day in the Life."
Their ignorance certainly doesn't diminish the brilliance of what they created.
If you are nonetheless still bothered by the seemingly significant gap between The Beatles technical skill and their musical accomplishments, I suggest this.
Listen to "Rubber Soul" all the way through, with no pause.
I'll even lend you my copy.
You'll understand what Sir Elton was getting at.
And, perhaps, why I was so excited to see that black box sitting on the counter.
Even a beaver, I suspect, would concede as much.
The ducks in question comprise a motley flock, of rather jumbled ancestry, that lives along the Settlers Slough irrigation ditch, out west of the railroad tracks.
I live in the neighborhood, too. And seeing as how I'm an alumnus of the University of Oregon and thus a duck myself, I consider it a happy coincidence that the real ducks and I share an affinity for a particular part of Baker City.
Unhappily, the ducks frequently cross Auburn Avenue — it seems they dislike going underneath the street by way of the culvert — and their waddling gait is not conducive to safe passage on a section of street where a minority of drivers complies with the 25 mph limit.
Several times I've come across the pathetic scene of duck feathers strewn about the gravel shoulder, occasionally accompanied by the flattened carcass.
I've not complained to anybody about the carnage but apparently some of my neighbors have.
For this I thank them.
They asked city officials about putting in duck crossing signs, the sort of precaution usually reserved for rather larger fauna, such as deer, which are capable of inflicting grievous and expensive wounds on cars.
A duck is by comparison a diminutive and flimsy obstacle, and unlikely to leave so much as a scratch on the bumper that kills it.
Yet the city's public works department, to its credit, procured posts and signs.
A volunteer youth group from the Blue Mountain Baptist Church dug holes and poured concrete footings last weekend.
The city installed the signs on Monday. There's one on each side of Auburn.
The signs, which depict an adult duck with a couple of ducklings in tow, add a whimsical touch to my twice-daily (at least) trips between home and office.
Probably they'll save ducks, too.
More importantly to me, though, the signs might prompt some westbound drivers to ease up on the gas pedal as they near 15th Street.
That's where my house stands, and there is a little girl on the premises who goes quite often across Auburn to visit her grandma and papa.
Some day she'll be old enough to make the trip without an adult holding her soft tiny hand.
I hope the duck signs are still standing then.
Olivia might not grow up to be a Duck like her dad.
But we've gotten pretty attached to her.

New Vol State Program Builds Office Skills in 15 Weeks
Submitted on December 13, 2010 at 10:10 AM
Administrative support positions keep an office running smoothly and it's a job field that is showing strong growth. Secretaries and administrative assistants are in-demand in Middle Tennessee, with more openings available than students completing training can fill. Volunteer State Community College has a new program that can help students get the office skills they need for an entry level position. The Office Management Fast-Track Technical Certificate can be completed in just one semester. Those courses can then be applied towards a two-year associate's degree to help students climb the career ladder.
"Students will learn about business communications, keyboarding by touch, and word processing using Microsoft Word," said associate professor Teresa Moore. " We will also focus on using the Internet, Excel, PowerPoint, teamwork, managing records, telecommunications, business ethics, handing mail, coordinating business travel, and understanding financial responsibilities."
The Fast-Track technical certificate program is one semester of intensive class work. It does provide for greater student support and counseling. The students attend classes two days a week, seven hours a day, as one group, and will stay together for the entire semester. Students who do not agree to the counseling and tutoring support can still take many of the classes as normal credit courses, just not in the Fast-Track format. The program includes career search strategies, resume creation, soft skill tips, and job interview preparation.
The Fast-Track program makes it easier for students, by providing one-stop registration for the classes and ease in buying books. The program will cost $1,676.50 for in-state tuition and fees and an estimated $685 for books.
The first group will start the program in January for the spring semester. Registration is open now and new students will need to apply to the College first. For more information visit the web page: www.volstate.edu/OfficeManagement/Fast-Track.php, call 615-230-3304 or e-mail email@example.com.

Homeschool Heartbeat Listener Survey
Did you enjoy this program? Or are you looking for something a little different? Let us know what you want to hear by taking 2 minutes to fill out our short listener survey.
Who was America's greatest homeschooler? Some say it was George Washington. Join host Mike Smith on today's Home School Heartbeat to decide for yourself.
Mike Smith: Born February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia, George Washington was by all accounts the indispensable man of the American Revolution.
America's birth was a desperate struggle against overwhelming odds. A ramshackle band of colonists, many—though not all—desired to break away from the growing tyranny of British rule. Washington, with his ragtag army, defeated the strongest military power in the world—the British.
But with military success came governmental responsibility. His presence at the Philadelphia constitutional convention enabled the various groups to be drawn together, and, despite the divergence of opinion, Washington was able to provide the final approval for the Constitution.
By his efforts, a first-of-its-kind new nation with a republican form of government was founded. The experiment in self-government based on liberty and religious freedom would proceed without being snuffed out by the tyrannical foreign rule.
Washington was known for his character and integrity. He did not seek power and accepted the call to the presidency with reluctance. Washington's restraint, his daring, and his wisdom have touched the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
America owes its very existence to one of the greatest homeschoolers of all time.
And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: George Washington's father Augustine died in 1743 when George was just 11. He was raised by his mother Mary Ball Washington in Westmoreland County, Virginia.
Like most frontier families at this time, homeschooling was the most viable option for a child's education. George combined his academic studies with good doses of practical application. He farmed his father's land and trained as a surveyor.
At age 15, George Washington copied, in his own handwriting, 110 Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior. These rules focused on how a person should view God and his fellow man and they became integral to George Washington's life.
Character and integrity were central, and he learned these through the lessons taught by his parents.
After his father's death, George and his older brother Lawrence became very close. George often visited Lawrence at his home on the Potomac. Lawrence shared stories of his time in the British army, and, it seems, instilled in George a sense of adventure.
When George learned that a friend of Lawrence's, George William Fairfax, was leaving on a surveying trip to the Appalachian Mountains, George sought and received a place on the expedition. George was thrust into the world and began his amazing life of service. And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: As George Washington began his public life, he recorded this parting advice given by his mother Mary: "Remember that God is our only sure trust. To Him, I commend you… My son, neglect not the duty of secret prayer."
George Washington had a deep and abiding faith imparted to him by his mother's teaching. He recognized that religion and morality are the essential source of character since they teach men their moral obligations and create the conditions for a decent politics.
He also believed that a sense of individual religious obligation is necessary to support the oaths relied upon in a court of law. Washington is quoted as saying, "Of all the dispensations and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports."
Faith and freedom go hand in hand.
Washington's concept of religious liberty requires that politics be moral. This does not mean a formal union of church and state, but just the opposite: a moral and religious people ordering their affairs according to the guidance of religion.
Washington opposed religious tyranny and firmly believed that any person should be able to "worship the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience."
This moral framework set the example for future American presidents.
And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: On August 27, 1776, the Revolutionary army was on the brink of defeat. British general Howe had trapped General Washington and his 8,000 troops on Brooklyn Heights. In an act of desperation, Washington gathered every vessel, from fishing boat to rowboat, and spent the night ferrying his army across the East River. A thick fog aided the escape.
In the freezing winter of 1777, the army was camped at Valley Forge. Supplies were short and troops were suffering. Washington was able to rally the troops and remain firm in his faith. The army pulled through despite many losses.
The lessons of his childhood, learned from his parents, prepared Washington to face this hardship with integrity, a belief in the centrality of Providence, and a firm reliance on God.
Many events occurred during the Revolutionary War which Washington saw as acts of Providence. "The providential train of circumstances which led to it affords the most convincing proof that the Liberties of America are the object of [a] divine Protection."
Washington recognized the hand of God and embraced the events unfolding in front of him. He pursued his goals. And finally, on October 19, 1781, the British troops under Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown.
The new country would breathe free.
And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: This week we have been discussing one of America's greatest homeschoolers—George Washington. The successful founding of America was a miracle. Never in history had the world witnessed a genuinely free and republican form of government. America would indeed be a great experiment in self-government.
Without Washington, the Revolution would have failed, either on the battlefield or at the constitutional convention. Washington was the glue that held the army together and the only figure who could keep the convention from breaking apart.
The new country would face many challenges and struggles, but Washington had given the nation a free government based on Christian principles and the ability of that government to adjust to new circumstances.
It is impossible to determine how the world would look if George Washington had not succeeded in his endeavor.
Many nations have tried alternate forms of government—with little success. America has spread the principles of freedom across the globe. Is there a viable alternative to the republican form of government in the 21st century?
Washington led the way, and today, Americans owe their freedom to the efforts of our Founding Fathers and to this man who diligently studied and learned the truths of life at home.
And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith:
Michael Smith and his wife Elizabeth, along with Michael Farris and his wife, Vickie, incorporated Home School Legal Defense Association in 1983 and were the original board members. Mike grew up in Arkansas, graduated from the University of Arkansas where he played basketball, majoring in business administration. Upon graduation, he entered the U.S. Navy and served three years before attending law school at the University of San Diego.
In 1972, he was admitted to the bar in California and also has been admitted to the Supreme Court of the United States. He is licensed in Virginia, California, and Washington, D.C.
Mike and his family began homeschooling because their 5-year-old flunked kindergarten. This was quite a disappointment to Mike in light of the fact that he was preparing this child to be President of the United States by starting his education as early as possible.
His family's life changed drastically when he heard a radio program in 1981 which introduced him to the idea of homeschooling. When they started homeschooling, they began homeschooling one year at a time to meet the academic and social needs of their children. After spending lots of time around people like Mike Farris, he became convinced he had been called to use his gifts and talents in the legal profession to assist homeschoolers who were being prosecuted because they didn't hold a teacher's certificate or satisfy the school district that they could competently teach their children.
Mike came to HSLDA full-time in 1987 and has served as president of the organization since the year 2001. In addition to serving as president, he also is a contact lawyer for California, Nevada and Puerto Rico. All of Mike's children are now grown, and three of the four were homeschooled. The most enjoyable part of Mike's job is when he is able to go to homeschool conferences and meet what he calls America's greatest heroes, homeschooling moms.

- The 'shape-space' and 'affinity landscape' immunological paradigms
- Author(s)
- Brownlee, Jason
- Abstract
- The 'shape-space' formalism and fitness-inspired affinity landscape are two geometric paradigms of theoretical and computational immunity that have found popular application in the field of artificial immune systems. This work reviews the inception and early application of these paradigms in theoretical immunology and reviews a framework that unifies both ideas for use investigating artificial immune systems with regard to general application not limited to pattern recognition.

Packing for a trip is hard, whether it's just a day or a few weeks. You've got to make sure and pack those little things you really need to get you through the week. Like grenades.
On Saturday, Transportation Security Administration officials found a grenade in the carry-on bag of a man traveling from Salt Lake City to Denver. The grenade was inert, and even a little rusty, but nevertheless caused alarm for the officers who found it during standard screenings in the security lines of the Salt Lake City International Airport.
The incident has TSA spokeswoman Lorie Dankers reminding passengers to leave their grenades, and all other weapons for that matter, at home.
"It just serves as a reminder that people need to check what's in their bag prior to traveling," Dankers said. "Grenades happen to be one of those items that cannot be transported in carry-on bags or in checked baggage because they can be seen as an explosive."
She said people should remember people that the TSA screens roughly 1.8 million people at 450 airports every day, making it quite difficult when passengers accidentally forget that they have prohibited items in their bag.
She said that passengers can check to see if an item is prohibited by using the TSA mobile app or visiting www.tsa.gov/mobile.
The grenade was surrendered to TSA and the passenger was allowed to continue on their way. No citations were issued in the incident.
"Just another day at TSA," Dankers said.

Did you always imagine yourself as John Wayne? Or perhaps you were partial to Roy Rogers? Either way, we have a Cowboy Halloween Costume to suit your style. These days, it's not just boys who can be a cowboy, infants, toddlers, boys, girls, teens, men and women can all dress as cowhands as well. We have outfits that can fit any age and any style, including sexy garb and standard and plus size outfits for adults.
Men can dress as a Wild West bartender, gunslinger, cowhand or renegade. Women can be gunslingers too as well as saloon girls, Annie Oakley or a rodeo queen. Women can also choose from our sexy costumes and dress as a seductive cowgirl, sensual sheriff and more. Girls can be rodeo stars and cowhands and boys can be a Wild West renegade or sheriff. Our licensed items include Toy Story's Woody and Jesse outfits. These endearing characters are toys that come to life and go on adventures that thrilled children and adults alike.
North American cowboys take care of cattle on ranches, mostly in the Western or Southwestern U.S. In the old west, large numbers of cattle were left to graze on open land and the cowboy were responsible for keeping track of the herd. Each spring they would roundup the cattle to sort out animals ready for sale and to brand the young calves. Cowboy traditions were spread to the rest of the country by Wild West shows popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. With the advent of movies, and later TV, westerns became popular forms of entertainment.

Add Braun to list of WVU stars on offense
MORGANTOWN - Since West Virginia opened its season with that 69-34 dismemberment of Marshall, the praise heaped upon a member of that ridiculously efficient offense has yet to wane. It's hard to have a conversation with either his head coach or his position coach in which he's not lauded, even if he's only peripheral to the discussion.
OK, so yes, that's true of quarterback Geno Smith. And maybe to receivers Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey and running back Shawne Alston, too.
But today we're talking about someone far less visible.
Left guard Jeff Braun.
"The guy that stood out was Braun,'' offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh said. "He's moving around better, technically he's better, he's using his hands and doing a bunch of things. He was good in the Orange Bowl, but this was his best performance, by far.''
And from Holgorsen: "There were a lot of guys we could have named the offensive player of the game. We considered Jeff Braun.''
So, having heard and considered most of the accolades, what thinks Jeff Braun of it all?
"During the game I didn't really know how I was playing. I was just trying to take one play at a time,'' Braun said. "And when I got back and watched some film, I did some things I like and there are a few plays I'd like to have back.
"Overall, I think I played fairly well. But it's the first game. I want to build off of that. Right now I have two pretty good games under my belt. I just want to keep building on it.''
Of course, from a layman's perspective, who really knows how well Braun played, or any of the individual offensive linemen for that matter? His parents probably watched him pretty closely. Bedenbaugh and Vince Cashdollar, his graduate assistant in the press box, did, too, although even they needed film study to pin it down.
And it's not like you can look at the stat sheet at the end and see Braun's name anywhere except on the list of starters.
You can, however, look at that stat sheet and see a total absence of sacks and 331 rushing yards and draw some conclusions about the play of the offensive line. And much of that has to do with the play of Braun, who admits he had an unusually small number of mistakes.
"Hopefully it's not unusual,'' he said. "But it's not like I let guys through. The mistakes I had were technical that I can fix - taking the wrong steps, putting my hands in the wrong place, maybe not getting on a block completely, stuff like that. That's a mistake to me.
"The glaring mistakes are what everyone else sees - a sack, a hurry-up throw or a pressure, a penalty. Those are what people watching on TV can see. But there's stuff we see in the film room that I would know.''
There were so few of those, however, that even Bedenbaugh has trouble picking on Braun for them. That would be kind of like quarterbacks coach Jake Spavital watching Smith complete 32 of 36 passes and dwelling on the four incompletions.
What is even more amazing, perhaps, is that Braun is playing as well as he is at a new position. Last year he filled in for Josh Jenkins all season at left guard. The year before he started every game at right tackle. In high school in Westminster, Md., he was an all-state center.
Granted, it might seem trivial, all those position changes, given that the basic assignment is still the same - to block and protect. But there's more to it than that.
"It's hard to move around,'' Bedenbaugh said. "It's hard to change your stance, and you're getting different rushes from different sides and different positions.''
Perhaps now, in his fifth season, the 6-foot-5, 321-pounder has found a home.
"I just like the stance. It feels more natural having my right hand down and my right foot back,'' Braun said. "But it doesn't really matter. I played a little left guard [in practice Tuesday] just to give Josh a breather. I know the plays from any position, but it's just being in that stance.''
Whatever the reason, Braun has seemed to assume the role of the best player on a vastly improved offensive line. He's certainly the most versatile, having played every position. Were something to happen to center Joe Madsen, don't look to the depth chart to see who his backup is. Regardless of what it says, it's Braun, who would move over and then be subbed for himself.
"We're light years ahead of where we were last year,'' Holgorsen said of the offensive line play in general.
And Braun's play is a big reason.

A classic is a work of art that can stand the test of time and remain relevant, fresh and engaging years after its creation. It possesses the internal mechanisms and universal themes to produce pleasure and awake interest in its audience year after year. Its appeal will carry on long after trends and fads dissolve into the dustbin of historical detritus. The films of John Hughes are unquestionably considered classics today by both the navel gazing critic and the new movie fan alike. Hughes worked mostly in the 1980's, mostly concentrating his writing and directing on intelligently conceived teen comedies (The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful) that possessed depth, dimension and pathos, characteristics that were rare for youth-centered movies of the eighties. Hughes had a string of hits that he either wrote or directed beginning with Sixteen Candles (1984) thru Home Alone (1990). Ferris Bueller's Day Off, a hilarious romp that follows the afternoon adventures of a school skipping Ferris, his girlfriend Sloane and his best friend Cameron, launched the career of Matthew Broderick and also featured a cameo from a young Charlie Sheen. Arguably one of Hughes' best "teen" films, it continues to feel unsullied by time, even today, twenty six years after it was released.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
It is requested that this article, or a section of this article, be expanded. Please help the Harry Potter Wiki by expanding this article to give more complete coverage of its subject.
The magic gene is a portion of human DNA that determines whether a person will have magical abilities. Those people born with the gene active are witches and wizards, while those who are not are Muggles or Squibs.
The magic gene is dominant[1], and any child born to a wizarding family will have some degree of magical ability, or at least magical awareness. squibs, while unable to use magic, are still able to function within the wizarding world to a limited degree. The descendants of squibs who instead integrate into the muggle world and marry will usually be muggles, although the magic gene occasionally resurfaces in later generations and produces a Muggle-born witch or wizard[2].
Behind the scenes
- J.K. Rowling stated that she had considered having Dudley Dursley have a magical child in the epilogue, and see them off to Hogwarts at Platform 9 & 3/4 at the same time as Harry and his family. She decided against this, however, stating that any latent wizarding genes would never survive contact with Uncle Vernon's DNA.[3]
- According to J.K. Rowling, nobody knows where magic comes from.[4]
- Despite the magic gene being dominant, that doesn't explain Squibs or Muggle-borns, or how muggle borns manifest their powers the same way as Half-bloods or Pure-bloods. It is therefore possible that magic is controlled by more than one gene or is only partially dominant.
