ISABEL DALHOUSIE - Book 8
Nothing captures the charm of Edinburgh like the bestselling Isabel Dalhousie series of novels featuring the insatiably curious philosopher and woman detective. Whether investigating a case or a problem of philosophy, the indefatigable Isabel Dalhousie, one of fiction's most richly developed amateur detectives, is always ready to pursue the answers to all of life's questions, large and small.
In this eighth installment in Alexander McCall Smith's captivating Isabel Dalhousie series, our irrepressible heroine tries to untangle complex questions about both the past and the present.
Isabel's new friend Jane Cooper, a visiting Australian philosopher who was adopted as a small child, has come to Edinburgh searching for information about her biological father. Naturally, Isabel is more than happy to offer her services. At the same time, she must find time for her own concerns: her young son Charlie, who's leaving babyhood further behind each day; her housekeeper Grace, who has recently begun getting financial advice from her spiritualist; her niece Cat, who's in a new relationship, and the most pressing question of all: when and how Isabel and Jamie will finally get married. As she investigates the forgotten affairs of youth Isabel begins to wonder what those affairs lead to in the present, and in the process she discovers a whole new understanding of the meaning of family.
By the time she got back to the house, having been interrupted on the way back by bumping into a garrulous neighbour, the morning was already almost over. For Isabel, the watershed was always eleven-thirty; that was the point at which if nothing was achieved, then nothing would be, the point at which one had to think about lunch, now just an hour away.
Since Charlie had started going to his playgroup, the mornings had become even shorter, as he had to be fetched shortly after noon, and it took ten minutes to get him back and another ten minutes to get him changed out of his morning clothes; by this time, he would be covered in finger paint, crumbs, pieces of a curious modelling substance much approved of by the playgroup authorities, grains of sand from the sandpit and, very occasionally, what looked like specks of blood. Boys, it seemed to Isabel, were magnets for dirt and detritus, and the only solution, if one were wanted, was frequent changes of clothing. Or one could throw up one's hands and allow them to get dirtier through the day and then hose them down—metaphorically, of course—in the early evening.
Isabel opted to change Charlie, and so his morning clothes, once abandoned, were replaced with afternoon clothes. She decided that she rather liked the idea of having afternoon clothes, even if one were not a two-year-old. Changing into one's afternoon clothes could become something of a ritual, rather like changing for dinner—which so few people did any more. And the afternoon clothes themselves could be the subject of deliberation and chosen with care; they would be more loose-fitting than one's morning clothes, more autumnal in shade, perhaps—clothes that would reflect the lengthening of shadows and sit well with the subtle change in light that comes after three; russet clothes, comfortable linen, loose-fitting collars and sleeves.
"You thinking?"
It was Isabel's housekeeper, Grace. She had worked in the house when Isabel's father was still alive, and had been kept on by Isabel. It would have been impossible to ask Grace to leave—even if Isabel had wanted to do so; she came with the house and had naturally assumed that the house could not be run without her. Isabel had felt vaguely apologetic about having a housekeeper—it seemed such an extravagant, privileged thing to do, but a discussion with her friend, Peter Stevenson, had helped.
"What good would it do if you were to stop that particular item of expenditure?" Peter said. "All it would mean was that Grace would be out of a job. What would it achieve?"
"But I feel embarrassed," said Isabel. "Somebody of my age doesn't need a housekeeper. People will think I'm lazy."
Peter was too perceptive to swallow that. "That's not it, is it? What's worrying you is that people will think that you're well-off, which you are. So why not just accept it? You use your money generously—I know that. Carry on like that and forget what you imagine people think about you. It's not an actual sin to have money. The sin exists in using it selfishly, which you don't."
"Oh well," said Isabel.
Now Grace stood in the doorway of Isabel's workroom, a bucket in hand, on her way to performing the daily chore of washing down the Victorian encaustic-tile floor in the entrance hall. Isabel was not sure that this floor had to be washed every day, but Grace had always done it and would have resisted any suggestion that she change her routine.
Now Grace's question hung in the air. She often asked Isabel whether she was thinking; it was almost an accusation.
"I suppose I am thinking. But not about work, I must admit." Isabel, who was seated at her desk, gave a despairing glance at the piles of paper before her. "I'm afraid that I've accomplished very little this morning."
"Me too," said Grace. "I've done none of the ironing yet, I'm afraid. All those shirts of Jamie's."
"Leave them," said Isabel. "Jamie can iron them himself. It's very therapeutic for men to iron. Therapeutic for women, that is."
Grace shook her head. "I'll do them later this afternoon." She put down the bucket. "Where does the time go? Do you ever ask yourself that?"
"Constantly," said Isabel. "As most people do." She smiled. "Mind you, how much of our time, do you think, is spent asking ourselves where the time goes?"
Isabel remembered that it was a Friday, which meant that Grace would have spent the previous evening at one of her spiritualist meetings. She enjoyed hearing about these, as Grace was always prepared to give a candid assessment of the visiting medium. The previous week the visiting medium had been from Glasgow and had made contact with spirits who voiced an interesting, if somewhat unusual, complaint.
"He said that there were a number of spirits trying to get through. He said that that they were all from Glasgow."
Isabel had raised an eyebrow. "Do spirits live in particular places? I thought that the whole point about being disembodied is that you rose above constraints of place. Have I got it wrong?"
Grace shook her head. "Spirits often hang about the places that were special to them before they crossed over," she said. "He said that these spirits wanted to get back to Glasgow because they weren't happy in Edinburgh."
"A likely story!" snorted Isabel.
"My feelings too," Grace had replied.
Now, Isabel asked about the previous evening. Was the medium any good, or at least better than the man who contacted the unhappy Glaswegian spirits?
"Much better," said Grace. "He was one of our regulars. We had him about four months ago and he was really good. He saw somebody's husband—clear as day, he said. I was sitting next to the woman and I comforted her. It was very moving."
Isabel said nothing. The fundamental premises of Grace's spiritualist meetings might not have withstood rigorous, rational examination, but there was little doubt in her mind about the solace that they gave. And what was wrong with anything that gave comfort to lives bereft of it?
"Yes," Grace continued. "This medium—he's called Mr. Barr; I don't know his first name, I'm afraid—he works in a bank. In the back room, I think; he's not a teller or anything like that. Anyway, he has a real talent for getting through to the other side. You can see it in his eyes; he just has that look to him—you know what I mean?"
Isabel did. "The light—"
"Exactly," said Grace. "It's the light that shines from the eyes. There's no mistaking it and he had it. It was like . . ." She searched for an analogy, and then decided, "Like a lighthouse."
Isabel struggled with the image. Lighthouse eyes would presumably send forth beams at intervals, which would create a rather odd impression, she felt, especially at night, and if such people lived by the sea . . .
"He said something very interesting," Grace continued. "He said that he was getting a strong message from somebody who had been a stockbroker in Edinburgh in his lifetime. He was now on the other shore and wanted us to know that everything would be all right."
"That's reassuring," said Isabel.
"I think he was talking about the country's economy. He said that we shouldn't worry—it was going to be all right."
Isabel raised an eyebrow. "I wonder how he knows?"
Grace assumed a rather superior expression. "They know," she said. "We may not understand how they know, but the important thing is that they know. It's to do with time. Time has a different meaning in the spirit world."
Isabel did not contradict this; she knew there was little point. If asked to justify her claims about the world beyond, Grace tended to shelter behind the idea that there were some forms of knowledge that somebody like Isabel simply could not grasp.
"Skepticism closes the mind," she would say. "Like a trap."
Grace continued with her report. "He became quite specific, you know. He mentioned a particular company that he said would do well. He said that all the conditions were right for this to happen."
Isabel expressed her surprise. "A tip? An investment tip?"
"No," said Grace. "It was not like that at all. The spirit was just sharing something with us. He was obviously happy that this company would do well and he wanted us to share his happiness."
Isabel hesitated for a moment. Grace's meeting must have been rich in comic possibilities, with the medium issuing what amounted to a stock-market prediction, and some of those attending, perhaps, discreetly writing down the details.
"What company?" she asked on impulse.
"West of Scotland Turbines," said Grace. "You'll see their shares in the paper. Look at the stock-market page."
"So they exist?"
"Yes, of course they exist. I looked them up. They make turbines for hydroelectric schemes."
Grace appeared to feel that they had spent long enough on turbines and went on to say something about needing new scouring liquid for the upstairs shower, which was becoming mildewed. She looked at Isabel slightly reproachfully, as if she were responsible for the mildew. Isabel thought: It's not my fault, but Grace will always blame me.
Then Grace said, "Oh, somebody phoned while you were out. I asked for her name, but she just left a number for you to call back. It's in the basket. Some people don't give their names, which is odd, I think. It's as if they've got something to hide . . ." She examined Isabel as if she were conniving in, or at least condoning, a whole series of anonymous calls. Then she continued, "She sounded Australian."
It was the woman whom Cat had met. Isabel glanced at her watch: there was time to return the call before she went off to collect Charlie. That would mean, of course, that she would have done no work at all that morning, and would probably do very little that afternoon. Did it matter? Would the world be changed if the next edition of the Review of Applied Ethics did not come out on time? The answer, of course, was that it would make very little difference—a humbling thought.
Isabel rose from her desk and made her way into the kitchen. If Grace wanted to leave her a note, there was a small basket on top of the fridge in which notes were placed. There was one now, with a number scribbled on it in pencil. Underneath the number, Grace had written: woman. Isabel smiled; she was reminded of her father, who had once said to her, "Don't write—or say—any more than you have to. Just don't."
Or think, perhaps?
Isabel took the note back to her study. There she wrote on it West of Scotland Turbines, and then picked up the telephone.

1. Spoiler Alert: Do not read further if you want to discover the plot twists on your own.
Cat and Isabel talk about whether they find their occupations worthwhile. Isabel admits that she wonders about it all the time, and Cat says that she does not. "I sell cheese and Italian sausages...I don't have time to think. Most people don't. They do what they have to do because they need to eat" (24). How does this exchange point to the differences between aunt and niece? What does it suggest about their approaches to life?
2. Isabel and Jane have an immediate rapport: "Their conversation had started in the deep end, unlike most conversations, which launched themselves into the shallowest of shallows" (38). What experiences and ideas does Isabel share with Jane, although they have just met? Do you agree with Isabel's statement about the need for a spiritual dimension in one's life (40-41)?
3. Though he often feels that Isabel should stay out of other people's troubles, Jamie feels strongly that she should help Jane find her father. Is Jamie becoming more tolerant, or is there something more than usually poignant about Jane's situation?
4. As they lie in bed, Isabel and Jamie discuss Jane's situation, and Isabel's mind wanders, as it often does, on various "odd tangents" (45). He says to her, "You think these things—these curious things come into your mind—and then you just say them. I love it. Listening to you is like reading an amazing book" (56). Do you enjoy the digressions of Isabel's thoughts as much as Jamie does? What does Jamie's statement tell us about the kind of closeness and affection they share?
5. In her first conversation with Isabel, Catherine Succoth is guarded, though Isabel guesses at once the nature of her relationship with Alastair Rankeillor (93-101). What is the reason for the different mood of their second conversation? What experience do the two women share (239)?
6. As Isabel leaves the hospital after being sickened by eating wild mushrooms, she stops and speaks to a young man who has attempted suicide. If you were in his position, how would you feel about Isabel's words with you (118-19)? Is it intrusive to speak to him, or is it an important act of kindness?
7. Cat's new employee, Sinclair, is the sort of person Isabel can't get along with. What is at the heart of their conflict when they work together in the store (129-135)? What does their interaction, and Isabel's annoyance with him, tell us about Isabel's ideals of human behavior?
8. Recalling a conversation with a friend who commented that in a country village people say good morning to strangers, Isabel thinks, "But we are not moral strangers to those we see in the street" (143). Do you agree with Isabel's principle of "moral proximity"? How would life be different if most people thought about moral issues as Isabel does?
9. Visiting Rory Cameron's village, Isabel passes by some cows poking their head through a gate. "'I'm sorry, I have nothing for you,' she muttered." Then she thinks, "It's come to this at last: I'm talking to cows" (161). How would you describe Isabel's sense of humor? In what kinds of situations do you find comedy in this novel?
10. What is striking about Rory Cameron's reaction to the news that he is a father? Why is it important for our understanding of the importance of this revelation that he is described as a disappointed man (170-73), a person "with an air of unhappiness about him" (159)?
11. Do you agree with the way Isabel handles the news that Grace has lost her savings by investing in West of Scotland Turbines (184)? Is she right in compensating Grace for her loss? What does Isabel's remark, "Carry on being who you are," tell us about the importance of their relationship (185)?
12. Isabel believes that Rory is not Jane's biological father, and that Alastair Rankeillor probably is. Catherine Succoth had suggested that Rory was the person Jane was looking for, but she confirms Isabel's hunch when they meet again and she apologizes for having been misleading (241). But now that Jane and Rory have struck up such a strong bond, Isabel doesn't know how to proceed. What is the right thing for Isabel to do in this situation?
13. In The Careful Use of Compliments, Jamie proposed to Isabel and Isabel suggested that it was better to wait. What happens, or what changes, to convince Isabel that it's time to marry Jamie? Why do Isabel and Jamie decide to have a very small wedding?
14. When they next meet, Jane admits that Georgina told her that Rory cannot be her father, because he's infertile. Georgina hasn't told him the truth about why they haven't had children: "she decided to protect him from the psychological burden of the knowledge of his infertility" (251). Given that Rory is a sensitive and disappointed man, are Georgina and Jane right in protecting him from the knowledge that Jane isn't his daughter?
15. Is Jane right in arguing that it's the happiness gained, and not the authenticity of the relationship, that matters (251-54)? Why does Isabel then feel uncomfortable about the outcome?

We started with one of your beautifully designed wedding invitations and then used your format as a guide for our names. But we were able to easily add additional information. When we ordered everything, the nice lady called the next day to clarify our order. The additional envelopes we ordered weren't the same color and she asked if we wanted them to be the same color. So, I really appreciated the phone call.

How to Select
How to shop for Plumbing valves
Plumbing valves are an integral part of any plumbing system. They maintain the pressure and stop water from leaking. Loss of pressure can result in poor performance of devices requiring water, while leakage may cause expensive water damage.
Although plumbing valves are an inexpensive part of the system when compared to the larger components such as heaters, careful consideration should be given when purchasing these items. Poor quality or ill-fitting valves can compromise the integrity of your system.
The following factors should be consider when purchasing:
- Size. Choose the size which suitable for the product. Exact measurements are given and valves are designed to be connected to standard equipment.
- Choice of Material. Valves are available in a choice of metal or plastic. Depending on the configuration of the valve different materials may function better. Westside Wholesale can help with the selection of the most appropriate valve to use with different devices.
- Cost. Cost is usually an important factor but should be considered in line with quality. Plastic plumbing devices are cheaper but stay very short life of span. Choosing steel plumbing devices save money a lot because they have a very long life, often 25-30 years or more.

MODESTO, CA — Senator Dave Cogdill, Assemblyman Tom Berryhill and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility partnered today to bring a life-saving lesson about the dangers of drunk driving and underage drinking to students of the Beyer High School. In advance of Prom and Graduation season, Brandon Silveria and his father Tony spoke to students about the importance of "making the right choice" about alcohol – and if students are under the age of 21, that the only responsible decision is not to drink. Brandon is a young man who was involved in an alcohol-related crash at age 17 just before his high school prom. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking.
"The latest statistics available show that in 2005 there were 1,719
alcohol-related traffic fatalities in California, and 268 of these
deaths were among youth under 21 (NHTSA 2005). One death is one too
many," said Senator Cogdill. "We must do more to keep the teens of
California safe and alcohol-free. I am proud to have Brandon and Tony
Silveria with us today to communicate their life-saving message."
"Prom and Graduation Season is a time of great celebration for high school students. Sadly, alcohol is sometimes part of that celebration." said Assemblyman Berryhill. "It is important that we continue in our efforts to stop drunk driving and underage drinking, especially during this celebratory time. I'm pleased Brandon and Tony spoke at Beyer High School today, and I am hopeful that Brandon and Tony's words will resonate with the students."
"In California in 2005, 1,447 youths under age 18 were arrested for driving under the influence, 4,357 youths were arrested for liquor law violations and 3,566 youths were arrested for drunkenness (UCR 2005)," said Dana Fudurich of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "Our goal with this presentation is to raise awareness about this serious problem, and by doing so, save lives in California."
During the presentation, Brandon Silveria told students his wrenching story of how as a high school student he had everything a teenager could want—a job, a girlfriend and plans for the future—until he had a few drinks at a party and chose to drive home. After falling asleep at the wheel, crossing the centerline and crashing into a tree, he was left in a coma for three months and spent several years in rehabilitation. Brandon was so badly injured that basic motor functions such as walking, talking and swallowing had to be re-learned. He has permanent brain injury and suffers from dangerous seizures. Brandon's presentations continue to receive standing ovations from students across the country.
"What you become depends on the choices that you make," said Brandon. "When I was seventeen, I had a job and a girlfriend. Because of my crash, I lost both of them. My hope is that by sharing my experiences with other young people, I can prevent others from being hurt or killed."
Through educational efforts such as the Silveria lecture and video program, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility educates students across the country about the hazards of underage drinking and driving. Since Brandon and his father Tony have become spokespeople for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, they have addressed well over two million high school students nationwide and have been featured on such television programs as "Rescue 911," NBC's "Today," as well as media outlets across the country.
To request a free copy of "Brandon Tells His Story" or for more information on the Silveria program call (800) 431-4499. The 30-minute video, which won an award from the American Medical Association, is accompanied by supporting curriculum materials and can be used with large or small groups of teens.

Per Idalis mgr-I apologize for the issues you had with the workers. Jessica from our branch spoke with you about the situation with the workers. You did not mention anything to her about damages. I apologize for the worker not returning to finish getting out the furniture, but that was agreement you made with the worker. I personally went with a friend that had a truck to remove the furniture to provide good customer service. I spoke with Paul Stoppi who did not mention about damages. Thank you

This unique Plugged In Rating for families is based on a movie's content elements
and worldview, not necessarily its artistic qualities. The more the green fills
the plugs, the more family friendly a movie is.
Vikings don't take guff. Guff slides off Vikings like omelets off a non-stick skillet. Throw a hunk of guff at a Viking, and he'll snort out a chortle before batting it away with his massive battle-ax or billowing beard or mighty breath. Nosirreee, Vikings take no guff. Unless, of course, it comes in the form of … dragons.Alack, the village of Berk has a dragon problem. Every now and then, a flock of them descends from the sky to snatch a nervous sheep or two or 20. It's a ba-a-a-a-d situation, particularly for the sheep, and the Vikings—as guff resistant as they are—can't quite figure out how to make the dragons go away. Even the great Viking leader, Stoick the Vast, seems at a loss to shoo away these pesky fire-breathers and save their jittery sheep. Every now and then, he gathers his bravest warriors and plows through Scandinavia's coldish waters in search of the dragons' home nest (or hive or condo or whatever) in the hopes of giving some guff of his own. The only things he returns with are more holes in his boats. Of course the only thing Vikings like less than guff is quitting. So they wage their eternal war on the dragons with gusto. That's bad news for Stoick's gangly, grace-averse son, Hiccup. The lad's sure that if he managed to off a dragon he'd get a girlfriend, make his father proud and maybe not feel quite so geeky. But, as everyone in the village reminds him, Hiccup's about as capable of killing a dragon as that "Pants on the Ground" guy was of winning American Idol. "You are many things, Hiccup," his father tells him. "But a dragon killer is not one of them." That doesn't stop Hiccup from trying. So during one particularly frenetic dragon attack, Hiccup fires off a homemade snaring weapon and seems to hit a Night Fury—the most mysterious, elusive dragon of all. The next morning he goes into the forest to see if his "catch" is still there, and sure enough, it is—its limbs tangled and tied and, for the moment, incapable of showering guff on anyone. Hiccup takes his knife out of his belt, walks toward the terrible beast and prepares to deliver the death blow. He raises his hand, and—Well, whatever happens next, you know what doesn't. I mean, the title of the film isn't How to Kill Your Dragon, is it?
Man's best friend is supposed to be his dog … and Hiccup's dragon is like Lassie with wings. Toothless, as Hiccup calls him, becomes as loyal, as versatile and as desirable a companion as any boy could ask for. While the rest of the village rejects Hiccup because he's just too weak and weird to be a viable Viking, Toothless loves the lad just as he is (and for the fish Hiccup brings him). He defends the boy when he's in danger, risks his own life for him and, eventually, saves Hiccup from a terrible end.Hiccup pulls his weight in the relationship, too, protecting Toothless from discovery and danger, and working up a special gadget to help the injured dragon fly again. At the same time, he tries to please his pops—even though embracing both his dragon and his dad seems an impossibility for most of the movie. Eventually, Hiccup risks his well-being to rescue Toothless and save his village. Stoick, for his part, struggles to relate to Hiccup. They have very little in common, and the rough-and-tumble leader can't help but wish that his boy was more stereotypically Viking. Or, in other words, more like him. But we always get the sense that Stoick loves his son and wants what's best for him. And after a bitter crisis, the elder Viking learns to appreciate Hiccup's special gifts and even honors his son by rescuing Toothless from a watery death.
The people of Berk don't seem particularly religious, but we do hear them reference the Norse gods Odin and Thor. Hiccup muses that the gods must hate him.
Hiccup has a crush on Astrid, a shapely Viking girl. The two fall on top of each other during dragon-fighting class (prompting a classmate to quip, "Love on the battlefield"). They later kiss—once on the cheek and once on the mouth. The movie's looking for giggles when Stoick gives Hiccup a Viking helmet, telling him it was made from half of the boy's late mother's breastplate. "Part of a matching set," Stoick says knowingly, tapping his own helmet.
Neither Vikings nor dragons are known for their pacifism, and the two species go at it with cartoonish vigor here. The result is lots of slapstick violence—characters getting smacked on the head, running into trees and whatnot—most often played for laughs. Folks sometimes thwack each other on the arm, like school kids on the playground.But there's a touch of menace, too. We hear that hundreds of Vikings and thousands of dragons have died during hostilities. Killing a dragon is a rite of passage for every Viking, and much of Hiccup's narrative leads up to the time when he will be forced to kill a fire-breather in front of the whole village. The Vikings learn about dragons from a book filled with gory illustrations (we see crudely drawn men getting impaled and immolated), notated with the admonition that dragons are extremely dangerous. "Kill on sight." Hiccup and Toothless' first meeting is loaded with menace: Hiccup tells the incapacitated dragon that he's going to "cut out your heart and take it to my father." When Hiccup instead cuts the dragon loose, it looks for a moment like Toothless will literally bite the boy's head off. Both Toothless and Hiccup suffer permanent injuries during the course of the film.[Spoiler Warning] Stoick chains up Toothless and uses the creature's senses to find the dragons' home island, where a massive dragon overlord lurks. This dragon of dragons—maybe comparable to a honeybee queen—is as large and scary as Pinocchio's giant whale Monstro, and a massive battle against the beast ensues, filled with fire and mayhem. The huge dragon eventually plunges into the rocks and water (another echo of Monstro) and, apparently, dies—though the moment of impact is obscured by waves and flame.
One use of "h‑‑‑," one "gosh" and a couple of references to the "butt" region.
Hiccup doesn't tell his father or the rest of the village about Toothless. (The negativity of his bad choice is somewhat mitigated by the fact that he later realizes it was a mistake.) He considers running away from home so he won't have to kill a dragon. Toothless regurgitates part of a fish in an effort to share it with Hiccup. Hiccup feels compelled to take a bite.
The plot of How to Train Your Dragon is probably as old as the Viking culture itself: A child, disconnected in some way from peers or community, finds a loyal friend outside the realm of humanity—a dog, a mouse, a horse, a dolphin, E.T. Or a dragon. "I looked at him, and I saw myself," Hiccup confesses to Astrid.When I looked at Toothless, I didn't so much see myself as my own dog—a cute, furry toddler of a canine that chases laser pointers, fancies carrots and loves me so much that he'd write this review for me if he could figure out how to type with his paws. (Who knows, maybe he'd be better at it than I am.) This, then, is a film that reminds us why so many of us love animals: Because they love us back. Sometimes, especially in hard times, animals can indeed feel like our best friends. They trust us when we feel untrustworthy, love us when we feel unlovable. And there's something to be said for that—even if the animals in question don't breathe fire or fly. It's worth mentioning, though, that Hiccup's love for his dragon influences him to do some pretty inadvisable things. He keeps secrets and considers running away. He and his father come to a serious disagreement that threatens to ruin their relationship forever. So this isn't a movie to leave your kids alone with. (Not that any movie is.) This is a movie that, if your family sees it, should be talked about afterward.But I don't think caution sinks the film's soaring spirit. How to Train Your Dragon may actually be DreamWorks Animation's best movie yet—a fun, thrilling Viking voyage that, in the end, is a simple yet salient story about a dragon and his boy.Read Chris Sanders' Very Own Personal Dragon, Plugged In's interview with the director of How to Train Your Dragon.

If you personally prefer something that's more similar to what GNOME does, then that's fine. Use GNOME, or whatever you like.
But this trolling that KDE is completely unusably complicated is nonsense.
If you personally prefer something that's more similar to what GNOME does, then that's fine. Use GNOME, or whatever you like.
But this trolling that KDE is completely unusably complicated is nonsense.
What could be true is a packaging problem in a distribution.
openSUSE, usually with the best KDE support out there, committed a single patch to one package (a 3rd party dependency even, not a KDE package) to the add-on repository for 4.8 (= not default, because openSUSE 12.1 ships with 4.7 by default) and now KDE applications crash all over the place.
That was an oversight by an openSUSE member and had nothing to do with KDE somehow shipping buggy software. (Rebuilt packages without the faulty patch should be available sometime over the weekend.)
Maybe this DE is right one for you:
i don`t know about bugs 4.8 was the first ever usable kde version for me. Same cpu mem usage as good old gnome2 and for what i do skype chatting torrents movies and other boring usual stuff works very fine. I turned off blur and some effects. I still miss the feature in gnome that mounted my pendrive in desktop and had the option to right click and format it, somehow this is missing in kde so i have to use gparted to format my pendrive. I use fedora kde spin and so far has been rock solid. I have to mention my crap harware is an athlon neo x2 with hd3200 very ugly exp with amd mobile platforms so far next time intel .
KDE used to be my preferred DE but now it's just a pile of sh**. The KDE wallet is a useless, buggy mess and the constant notifications for updates even after you actually update is a total joke. Basically, you have to disable most of KDE crap. It's gone downhill and Gnome would be an easy choice except they decided to pollute their DE as well since Gnome3 is also a mess now.
Is XFCE a good compromise? It seems like the only choice out of the bloated DEs now. Although, maybe MATE and Cinnamon deserve a look? They look half decent (only check them on Mint so far).
KDE works beautifully for me, but admittedly I'm an avid Arch user and I tend to install a base (minimal) KDE and just add what I want. I find this works better for me then some of the bloated versions of other distros, not mentioning any names..
I also immediately install "Colibri", the Notify-OSD alternative for KDE, which looks nice and IMO nicer than the default KDE popup tray notification system, but it's all down to personal preference.
Screenie: http://i.imgur.com/a11XH.jpg
And it might just be my hardware but Dolphin rarely ever takes more than 1 second to fully launch for me, which is pretty good considering the features it has.
I can't wait for 4.9... though the only truely new flashy feature I know of is the animated wallpapers which is a bit of a gimmick, but will be nice I suppose. I'm sure there will be other nice improvements under the hood. I've heard a few people say that Kwin seems to have gained even more speed.
There's tons of examples of people having problems with both the wallet and the notifications being a nuissance. Also, the KDE admins on their forum admit KWallet (or whatever it's called) has bugs and simply request posters file a bug report. So, they're just saying go **** yourself. Their insane program has run the same way since day one. Ever since they went to KDE4, the DE has gone down the drain. It's a useless POS with tons of bugs and stupid processes that don't work or just cause more havoc.
No wonder people are trying XFCE, LXDE and hoping that Cinnamon and/or MATE can be alternatives for Gnome3 which is going the route of KDE in becoming crap.

My memory of of Anne is from over 25 years ago I met her at Act 2 in Winnipeg. Ann you showed me my angels, you taught me "Love is all there is" Love you always, think of you of often.....my heart is so full of gratitude I am so blessed god gave me a chance to meet you
2 years, 8 months
Happy Birthday, Anne. Love ya
2 years, 8 months
Thinking of you today and missing you....
2 years, 8 months
2 years, 8 months
My name is Jennifer Mckenzie and Anne was a teacher, friend and beloved being in my life. This picture is of Anne at the stump in Lilydale we went together summer of 2007.
2 years, 8 months
3 years, 1 month
Wow. I think of her so often. The only time I knew her from one class at the UAC conference. I'm glad I let her know she was my favorite female speaker. Dearly beloved family it's never too late to let you know too.
4 years
How much time has passed since I've seen her last? I do not know, but yet I wait for her.
I love to see her coming around the cornor with a smile on her face and the breeze carring her laughter.
So long gone now.
I am filled with regrets. Regrets of not spending more time with her. Regrets of the time I spent with her when I chose to disagree with her and be mad at her. Surely she must know now that I was not in my right mind at the time.
I walk the woods looking for her, the light in her eyes.
I listen at the waters edge, still I do not hear from her.
How long is this end?
I wait and I hope in my heart for the time when she and I will reunite and be friends once again.
Dear sweet Anne Shirely how long has it been.
4 years, 1 month
there was always a myriad of people in and out of our home..
Mom had a community of people she loved and cared for and provided shelter for, when they needed it.
there was always a warm meal that could be shared
to take fragments and make them whole - that is what mom did
piecing together - pulling together - she made a community
their stories will be part of the fabric of our lives forever.
4 years, 6 months
Anne was one of two of my guardian angels in life. I'll leave it at that.
4 years, 7 months
I visited Anne once a year for my chart. She always encouraged me to be an artist even when I resisted. She was right, I am a photographer but that was many years ago. She also told me I was a medium and I resisted until two months ago when Anne actually popped into my head for a visit. I did not know she had passed. So I went to another medium who told me she thought she was in the spirit world. It finally dawned on me today to search. Now I know. Anne is doing fine and it looks like her hair is blond. Thank God for her !!!
4 years, 5 months
Elizabeth Toth:
Your comment made me LOL - mom always wanted to be a blonde and often tried to get me to dye my hair. So funny - couldn't have been anyone but her. ; )

Found a regression: Oxygen window decoration is much slower, causes plasma animations to stutter if they happen while a window is transitioning from focused > unfocused. Tested with other decorations, and they don't cause it. Also tested different plasma themes and they don't have any bearing on it. It's definitely the Oxygen decoration doing it (or part of it).
I guess I'll report it later after I've had my nap.
KWin used to be so buggy and would crash on me. But these last few releases have turned KWin into the best and most stable window manager. KDE has really gotten better since the 4.3!
I have Arch with KDE on an HP touchsmart from 2008. KDE is actually kinda quick and uses up ~500 mb of ram for me. I'm very pleased and excited for the 4.10 release.
Is there still tearing near the top of the screen when watching fullscreen video on ivybridge? as far as I'm concerned kde is unusable for me until this is fixed.
The C++ based Plasma applets are no longer in development. All Plasma applets are being rewritten in QML. According to http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KD...#kde-workspace the QML port of Tasks is not done, yet.

Release Date: March 2012
Supported languages: US English, Castilian Spanish, Latin Spanish, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese
User Guide:
QAD Warehousing, item 70-3185-2012EE
Installation/Conversion Guide: QAD Warehousing installation information can be found in the installation documentation for QAD Enterprise Applications 2012 Enterprise Edition.
Note: The QAD Warehousing Enterprise Edition installation process differs from the QAD Warehousing Standard Edition (SE) installation process. Please review the installation and conversion guide before you begin installation or conversion.
New Features Overview
QAD Warehousing was rebranded for QAD 2012 EE.
The following improvements were made to QAD Warehousing for this release:
Purchase Order Receipts (5.13.1) now passes the correct input parameters, such as site, warehouse, location, part, lot number, reference, dataset, purchase order number, order line, and transaction type to a custom program that you define in Internal Routing Assignment Maintenance (4.2.9) when you set printing options in Warehouse Maintenance (4.1.1) and Internal Routing Maintenance (4.2.5). Previously, in this scenario, some of the parameters passed to the custom program were blank when the custom program executed.
Purchase Order Receipts (5.13.1) now correctly generates pallet references when you set the Receive All field to Yes during the receipts in Purchase Order Receipts (5.13.1). Previously, the system did not generate pallet references.
Available Kit Quantity to Ship (7.1.8) now displays the quantity short and quantities under the kit quantity for the components (shown as an asterisk (*)) when the available quantity to allocate is less than the open quantity for an order. Previously, the quantity short and the * were not displayed.
The RF BP Pick SO/DO option (3.1) now correctly prompts you to print labels and prints the labels when you respond with Yes when you confirm a pick and set the Post-Print Option to Prompt to postpone labels (option 2) in Batch Picking Control (4.15.24). Previously, the system did not display prompts to post-print the labels.
The RF Transfer option (1.3) no longer transfers inventory to a blank location when warehouse staff press the End-Error key twice after they select the destination location. Previously, the system transferred inventory to a blank location in this scenario.
Pre-Shipper/Shipper Workbench (7.9.2) no longer displays a Progress error, and the system now correctly updates tare weight and net weight for level 0 and level 1 when warehouse staff move the items of one container into another container, using the RF Item Move option (3.7). Previously, the system displayed an error and incorrectly calculated net and tare weights.
The RF Select Task option (1.2) now lets warehouse staff confirm a move task of a valid pallet reference from the receive location to the stage-in location when you:
Set the system flavor to Selection by Reference (option B) in Work Location Group Maintenance (4.3.9).
Define destination locations in the Stage (In) field in Warehouse Location Maintenance (4.3.13).
Previously, in this scenario, the system displayed an error message and did not confirm the move task.
Warehouse Transaction Inquiry (4.9.1) now correctly displays the receipt number and line and the receiver for the INSP-PO or BACK-PO transaction type.
Warehouse Transaction Inquiry (4.9.1) now correctly displays FAIL-PO transactions when inspections fail in the RF Inspection Results option (4). Previously, the RF Inspection Results option did not create FAIL-PO transactions.
Receipts – Unplanned (3.9) no longer displays an error informing you that destination locations cannot be found and now correctly creates the put-away task when you set Alternative UM to Acquire UM from Destination SLG (option 13) in Internal Routing Maintenance (4.2.5) and the storage location has enough capacity to store the item.
Picklist/Pre-Shipper – Automatic (7.9.1) has improved performance when you set the algorithm to LF (option 3) in Algorithm Assignment Maintenance (4.6.9). Previously, the performance was poor.
The RF Select Task option (1.2) now lets warehouse staff confirm the task of multi-item pallet transfer between locations when the system creates the task using Warehouse Transfer By Reference (4.17.1) and you set the flavor to B in Work Location Group Maintenance (4.3.9). Previously, the system displayed an error informing you that the change was not supported, and the task was not confirmed.
Work Order Component Issue (16.10) now correctly creates a task when warehouse staff return a component to inventory that was previously issued against a work order. Previously, the system did not create a task.
Location Maintenance (4.3.13) now correctly displays the capacity value when you define both of the following:
More than one UM as a limit for the location
The net weight UM for the item in Item Master Maintenance (1.4.1) is the same as the UM you define for the location
Previously, in the above scenario, the system incorrectly calculated the capacity value.
Release Notes for September 2011.1 EE Release
QAD Warehousing
Version: QAD Warehousing for QAD 2011.1 Enterprise Edition
Release Date: September 2011
Supported languages: US English, Castilian Spanish, Latin Spanish, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese
User Guide:
QAD Warehousing, item 70-3185A
Installation/Conversion Guide: QAD Warehousing installation information can be found in the installation documentation for QAD Enterprise Applications 2011.1 Enterprise Edition.
Note: The QAD Warehousing Enterprise Edition installation process differs from the QAD Warehousing Standard Edition (SE) installation process. Please review the installation and conversion guide before you begin installation or conversion.
New Features Overview
QAD Warehousing was rebranded for QAD 2011.1 EE
The following improvements were made to QAD Warehousing for this release:
QAD Warehousing programs were modified so that the system no longer has issues when scanning Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) numbers.
The system no longer has issues when processing shipped stock that was left in dispatch area. Previously, when staff performed a repick across multiple pallets for a pre-shipper during batch picking, the system duplicated inventory.
Movement Confirmation Workbench (4.8.7) no longer displays the Start date must be prior to end date error message when setting up movement confirmation processing.
Warehouse Order Detail Status Inquiry (18.104.22.168) no longer displays a blank Carrier field when you enter carrier data in the Shipvia field in Distribution Order Maintenance (12.17.14). Previously, when carrier data existed in Distribution Order Maintenance, Warehouse Order Detail Status Inquiry displayed no values in the Carrier field.
A new Date Created field was added to Cycle Count Generation (4.18.12) to let you specify a date for cycle count transactions for the item/location that the system uses as criteria when selecting items/locations to count.
The Prefix field in External Device Setup (4.23.22) now correctly processes symbols that you enter as barcode separators with scanned-in barcodes that comply with UCC/EAN-128 encoding standards. Previously, the system incorrectly processed some separators and did not properly display error messages when you entered invalid separators. Now, when the prefix does not match stored prefixes within the system in the mfg_ctrl table, the system displays one of two errors:
Defined prefix not found in the barcode: The prefix you entered is not defined in mfc_ctrl, and therefore, not available for use.
Prefix does not match barcode: The prefix for the barcode does not match prefix-barcode records in mfc_ctrl.

New Features Overview
New features and enhancements for this release include the following:
New Browse Collections
New Menu Collections
Enhanced Transaction Processing
New Boost Program
The following topics describe the new enhancements.
New Browse Collections
Several new .NET UI browse collections were added to QAD Warehousing. Like other .NET UI browse collections, a QAD Warehousing browse collection comprises a main browse and one or more supporting browses, or elements.
The data in the top portion drives the data in supporting browses of the main browse collection. So, for instance, if you are using the Manage Inbound ASN menu collection, which embeds the Inbound ASN Detail Browse, the selection you make in the top portion within Manage Inbound ASN drives the data you see in the bottom portion within Inbound ASN Detail browse.
When data displays in supporting element browses, an arrow displays in the row of data that relates to your selection in the main browse. This helps you trace back to the record for which you are reviewing data. The following lists the new browse collections.
Warehousing Browse Collections
Browse Collection Name
Manage Inbound ASN
Inbound ASN Detail Browse
Order Management Menu (4.13)
Manage Inspection Samples
Inventory Inspection Detail Browse
Inventory Storage Detail Browse
Inspection Menu (4.19)
Manage Work Centers
Work Order Operations
Put Away Transactions
Inventory Detail by SLG Browse
Picking Transactions Browse
Order Management Menu
Manage Work Orders
Work Order Bill Browse
Put Away Transactions Browse
Picking Transactions Browse
Inventory Detail by SLG Browse
Order Management Menu
New Menu Collections
New .NET UI menu collections were added to this release of QAD Warehousing.
For some menu collections, such as Work Order Operations, you can export data in addition to viewing data. You can click the Actions button, then use the pull-down menu to export to a spreadsheet, PDF, or other forms of data.
You can also select the Setup button to activate the chart designer. Doing so lets you build spreadsheet-type charts (bar charts, pie charts, and so on) for the data that displays.
Warehousing Menu Collections
Menu Collection Name
Warehousing Manufacturing
Manage Work Orders Browse Collection
Manage Work Centers Browse Collection
Warehousing Menu
Warehousing Receipts
Manage Inbound ASN Browse Collection
Manage Inbound ASN Browse Collection
Manage Inspection Samples Browse Collection
Put Away Transactions Browse

Enhanced Transaction Processing
Several new features were added to transaction processing within QAD Warehousing, including new:
Browses and browse collections with added capabilities to process transactions, export data, build charts as well as easily view transaction data
Transaction Detail Maintenance (4.8.15)
Renamed reports
Transaction Inquiry Menu (4.9.4)
The following topics describe the enhancements.
Transaction-Related Browses and Browse Collections
You can use QAD Warehousing browses and browse collections in the .NET UI to help you monitor and view transaction data.
You can find the following browses by menu number and name:
Transactions by Pre-Shipper Browse (18.104.22.168)
Lets you review all picking transactions linked to a pre-shipper.
Transactions by Wave Browse (126.96.36.199)
Lets you review all picking and replenishment transactions linked to a wave.
Put Away Transactions Browse (22.214.171.124)
Lets you review all put-away and cross-docking transactions in the system.
Picking Transactions Browse (126.96.36.199)
Lets you review all picking transactions in the system.
Transaction History Browse (188.8.131.52)
Lets you review all transactions already processed in the system.
The browses provide all tools required in a single tool to manage warehouses transactions. You can filter and sort transactions by their most widely used attributes, such as site, order, item, user, and so on.
Also, you can use actions within the browses to perform other operations, such as exporting or building charts from the data. When you select a transaction number in the browse collections, the system links other actions to the mouse so that you can easily execute the following programs for the selected transaction:
Movement Confirmation and Inq (4.8.9)
Transaction Maintenance (4.8.13)
Transaction Detail Maintenance (4.8.15)
Transaction Inquiry (4.9.1)
Transaction Priority Boost (4.11.7)
New Transaction Detail Maintenance
A new Transaction Detail Maintenance (4.8.15) function lets you view and edit details of a warehousing transaction. You select the transaction, then view details on type, expected and actual hours spent, from and to data such as the site, location, part, lot/serial number, and reference. You can also view from/to warehouse data such as the warehouse ID, SLG, WLG, and UM.
You can edit the current user, priority, processing code, task, increment, and the system code. You can also enable the transaction as a hard-assigned task. A hard-assigned task can only be performed by the user currently assigned to the task.
Transaction Detail Maintenance
Renamed Transaction Reports
Two existing transaction reports were renamed and moved to the Reports menu (4.9) in this release:
Renamed Transaction Reports
Old Name/Menu Number
New Name/Menu Number
Transactions by WLG Report (4.9.11)
Warehouse Transaction Report (4.9.6)
Trans History by Item Report (4.9.12)
Transaction History Report (4.9.7)
New Transaction Inquiry Menu
A new Transaction Inquiry submenu was added to the Reports Menu (4.9). New and existing transaction-related inquiries were added to the new menu, as listed in the following table:
Transaction Inquiry Menu (4.9.4)
Menu Number
Program Name
Transaction Inquiry Menu...
Transaction by Type Inquiry
Transactions by Item Inquiry
Transactions by Reference Inq
Transactions by Location Inquiry
Transactions by To Location Inq
Transactions by Bulk Pick Inq
Transactions by Order Inquiry
New Boost Program
A new Transaction Priority Boost (4.11.7) boost program was added in this release. Use this program to boost the order and task priority of a transaction.
The new boost program and other existing boost programs were moved to the Labor Management Menu (4.11):
Boost Programs in Labor Management
Menu Number
Transaction Priority Boost
Pre-Shipper Priority Boost
Wave Priority Boost
Load Priority Boost
The following improvements were made to QAD Warehousing for this release:
QAD Warehousing now correctly considers Item-Site Inventory Data Maint (1.4.16) values. Previously, the system did not take some values from this program into account; for example, when the item number had a site and location in Item Master Maintenance (1.4.1) that differed from Item-Site Inventory Data Maint, the system only used values from Item Master Maintenance.
Pallet Build and Pallet Split functions now verify detail allocated inventory. Previously, when building a new pallet made of boxes, if those boxes were from a pre-shipper, the system did not verify whether inventory was detail allocated; subsequently, this broke the inventory structure and prevented pre-shipper changes.
The system no longer uses customer item codes when scanning information on the external device. This caused issues as customers were not necessarily related to inventory items.
All RF menu options now display correctly on the RF device. Previously, Item Inv Inq (5.1) and Address Inq (5.10) did not display on the RF device.
The system no longer creates duplicated put-away transactions. Previously, the system created a duplicated put-away transaction for unplanned receipts, which caused the inventory to be transferred twice and created corrupt inventory. The duplicated put-away transaction was corrected.
Wave numbers now display correctly in inquiries and reports. Previously, the system failed to pass the correct parameters to the server, causing Order Whse Detail Status Inquiry (22.214.171.124) and Wave Close Batch/Report (4.15.18) to not display expected wave numbers.
Warehouse Transaction Inquiry (4.9.1) now displays the correct data during a DO receipt. Previously, when staff received a DO, the system created an RCT-DO transaction in QAD Warehousing; however, the transaction details, such as the receipt number and line number, were not correct.
The RF Receipts (1.8) option now correctly receives ASNs.
Previously, when you received an ASN with the RF Receipts (1.8) menu option, the system received only part of the ASN, causing the system to consider only the discrepancies between the ASN and the scanned records. Also, after the results display, the system now correctly returns to the Receipts frame and displays the correct data.
RF inquiries now display correct screen titles when linking generalized code records to system procedure codes for the RF inquiries.
Standard PO receipts on serial-controlled items now function without displaying errors.
Previously, when you performed a PO receipt with serialized items, the system correctly generated serial numbers, then processed some line entry receipts, yet displayed errors for other line entry receipts.
Pre-Shipper/Shipper Print (7.9.4) now performs correctly with QAD Warehousing. Previously, when the program looked for a task for the pre-shipper, it failed to find a TranD record for abs ID; therefore, the program presented a warning when it found a task.
The system now correctly displays the Picking frame in Warehouse Maintenance (4.1.1) and Warehouse Control (4.1.24) in the .NET UI environment.
The programs within the Bulk Picking module (4.14) now function correctly when processing kits.
For Item-Whse Maintenance (4.4.11):
The system no longer displays the error No PartWhseM record is available when an item is not available in Item-Whse Maintenance (4.4.11).
The .NET UI now supports the Ref field in the Inspection Data frame. Previously, when you enabled the field by clicking on it, the system did not save your entry.
The system no longer displays an error when you attempt to ship a DO with the RF device. This typically occurred after you generated a packing list and confirmed movements to the lane, then attempted to ship from the RF device.
The missing field label in Address Warehouse Detail Maintenance (4.13.13) now displays.
The system now correctly issues a receipt instead of inventory once you receive an SO previously shipped, remove inventory from the receiving area (an ISS-SO transaction), then receive the quantities back into the receiving area.
When performing an RF kanban scan, the system no longer erroneously indicates that replenishment is complete when it is not possible to transfer a complete kanban quantity. Previously, system displayed the REPL Complete message when there was not enough stock to transfer the complete kanban quantity, but it was partially fulfilled.
