Golden Globe-winning actor Michael C. Hall (Dexter, Six Feet Under) performs Truman Capote's masterstroke about a young writer's charmed fascination with his unorthodox neighbor, the "American geisha" Holly Golightly. Holly - a World War II-era society girl in her late teens - survives via socialization, attending parties and restaurants with men from the wealthy upper class who also provide her with money and expensive gifts. Over the course of the novella, the seemingly shallow Holly slowly opens up to the curious protagonist.
Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the '30s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.
The provincial Bennet family, home to five unmarried daughters, is turned upside down when a wealthy bachelor takes up a house nearby.

A Signature Performance: Kenneth Branagh plays this like a campfire ghost story, told by a haunted, slightly insane Marlow.
An unabridged recording of Orwell's brilliant first novel read by Allan Corduner. The story is largely based on Orwell's own experiences as a police officer in Burma. Set in the dying days of the Raj, it depicts the harshness and darker side of colonial rule. And at its centre is John Flory, a lone individual hopelessly trapped in a vast political system; themes which set the agenda for much of his writing. Burmese Days was Orwell's first novel, and was issued in 1934 in America, then a year later in the UK where there had been fears and controversy initially that the material could be libellous.
In a remote corner of early Victorian England, where traditional practices remain untouched by time, Bathsheba Everdene stands out as a beacon of female independence and self-reliance.

Published in 1874, and an immediate best seller, Far From the Madding Crowd established Thomas Hardy as one of Britain's foremost novelists.

It was a dark and stormy night when Mary Crane glimpsed the unlit neon sign announcing the vacancy at the Bates Motel. Exhausted, lost, and at the end of her rope, she was eager for a hot shower and a bed for the night. Her room was musty, but clean, and the manager seemed nice, if a little odd.
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

He then becomes their prized guinea pig in a scientific program to completely "redeem" him for society.

One day I stood at the corner of a street and had a chat with my friend. It was a cold day, flakes of snow fell down from the sky, and vision was indistinct. We talked about the weather, and I said: "I don't know - I have not yet spoken to the clerk of the weather." Suddenly a little old woman appeared. She came to me, touched my hand, and said that she knew the clerk of the weather. She also said that she knew the way to his place. I said: "On, fool!"
Ernest Bramah (1868-1942) was an English author of 21 novels and numerous short stories and features. His humorous works have been ranked with Jerome K. Jerome and W. W. Jacobs, his detective stories with Conan Doyle, his politico-science fiction with H. G. Wells, and his supernatural stories with Algernon Blackwood. In his stories of detection, Bramah hit on the idea of a blind detective, Max Carrados, whose triumphs are all the more amazing because of his disability.
It happened with Mr. Raikes, who was passing through the street, which was inhabited by poor and ignorant people in London. Mr. Raikes, while he walked along the street, saw many things that made him sad, for there were so many sins and wretchedness on all sides, hopeless of doing any good; he would have endeavored to forget the whole scene as soon as possible. There were many sick people who suffered for food.

The man showing the room warns not to touch anything, but the author disobeys and contacts the world of spirits.

This is a wonderful sample of Lovecraftian horror with unforgettable atmosphere and a terrifying ending.
I loved to watch the gradual beginning of the storm through the frosted window. The snowdrops were not the big flakes, heavy with moisture, which melted as they touched the ground. These little snow particles, which the storm-spirit flings by handfuls through the air, will bury the great earth under their accumulated mass and not permit her to behold her sister sky again for dreary months. I was a South man. Often at that time, I loved to sit near the fireplace, and the muse always came to visit me....

I do not suppose that you have brought your revolver with you Watson? I shook my head to indicate that my response was in the negative to his question. He turned his head forward again and led us through the kitchen, past several side pantries. As we cautiously inched forward, Holmes observed that the blood trail consisted of droplets of varying size. "Whomever it came from, they must have been applying intermittent pressure on the wound as they walked."
This is a story of three robbers planning to obtain the treasure of a weird and lonely old, but rich man. What remains unknown to them is that the man inspires the whole town with awe. And it's not his oddly set and colored stones in the yard and talking to glass bottles, what something invisible but perceptible behind this. The three friends hatch out a plan and begin to fulfill it. The story lets its listeners dive into the atmosphere of a classic Lovecraftian horror and gives them creeps.

Moreover, it is a living, evolving tradition that is situated in a historical lineage; Chomsky's anarchism emphasizes the power of collective, rather than individualist, action.

Interested in photography since my high school years in the late 60�s, I finally purchased a Nikon SLR in the late 70�s and wasn�t long until I started selling my work. In 1970 I began my electrical career and continued to mix photography into my daily travels. With my successful electrical career coming to a close with retirement in mind, I won�t be one of those persons that retire and wonder what they will do with the rest of their lives. I am sure that I will stay very active with my photography. Photography has blessed me in so many ways, and I continue to be in awe of God�s wonderful work with this beautiful world we live in. In 1967 country music�s Song of the Year was �It�s Such A Pretty World Today�, performed by the...

spotless, well located and best place I have stayed in via AirBnB
Our experience at Vicent's place was perfect. Hot water, cozy apartment and nice neighborhood. Lots of restaurants near by and touritics activities. Plus, a supermarket in the building. We would strongly recommend.
Tudo foi excelente. Fomos recebidos pelo Vicente pai, que nos mostrou o apartamento. Exatamente o que está na foto.
Bem localizado para quem quer visitar as principais atrações da cidade de maneira rápida e utilizando transporte público.
O apartamento fica entre Bela Vista e o Centro. Mas para o centro da cidade.
Vicente nos assessorou da melhor maneira possível. Chegamos em Santiago por volta da meia noite, e ele estava lá nos esperando para entregar as chaves. Nos explicou todos os cantos do apartamento e nos deixou bem à vontade.
O apartamento é uma graça. Fica num condomínio com alto fluxo de viajantes, e tem como vizinhança um bom supermercado, casas de câmbio, bares, lanchonetes, lojas e atrações turísticas como o lindíssimo Cerro Santa Lucía.
An apartment in the perfect location with all the essentials. Vicente was fantastic! Extremely prompt at replying to emails and he even organised a taxi for us to get to the airport. Would highly recommend staying in his apartment.
Todo salió perfecto y Vicente estuvo siempre muy atentó a nuestras necesidades. El departamento es tal cual se ve en las fotografías muy limpio, ordenado y cómodo. Esta muy bien ubicado a media cuadra del cerro Santa Lucía y con un cómodo acceso hacia ambas calles laterales. Altamente recomendable!!
O apartamento é ótimo, exatamente como está na foto. Muito bem cuidado e em uma excelente localização. Fica bem próximo da estação de metrô. Sem problemas nenhum para chegar no apartamento e pegar as chaves, resolvi tudo por Whatsapp. Recomendo!

Director: Nacho Vidal
Company: Nacho Vidal Productions
Distribution Companies: Evil Angel
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Monica Mattos, Nacho Vidal, Alessandra Marques, Babalu, Suzana Scott, Daniela Vernes, Leticia Clicker
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Five scenes, all with anal sex, with Nacho Vidal and hot Brazilian babes. There are lots of gaping assholes, in the Nacho tradition, although some of the girls take the butt-fuck better than others.
Taking it best are the huge-breasted, tattooed Babalu, who makes a lot of noise when she's fucked, and the ever-torrid Monica Mattos, who gives herself to Nacho in a standing slam-fuck. That scene turns into a threeway with another pretty Brazilian, and it's the best in the movie.
There's a certain sameness to each scene, but each one packs varying amounts of heat.
Retailing: For Nacho fans and connoisseurs of Brazilian booty.

A true friend would not compromise something you told them in confidence. That would be/is a betrayal.
No, because ask yourself did you ever reveal one not meaning to hurt anyonme? I sometimes hare with a clse friend something someone said for advice, but try to not say the name of the person. I can get advice easier to give someone if i ask friends. It is good never to tell a true sevcret though if it is best to not tell it. Some things may have to be told to protect or help the person though.
this is why i don't share info.. at all.
No because u can also keep a secret from your friend if it's personal.
People are weak,this doesn't mean they aren't a friend. If I have anything I don't want anyone to know .I keep it to myself.
Not necessarily .... some people are just not secret keepers ; BUT they make for a da** good friend .... you just have to know which friends can or can't keep a secret ...
Those are the type of people that the Secret Service will not hire, but there are some people that can't even hold water, much less a secret. I just don't tell them anything deep and personal.
Don't share secrets with blabbermouths!
No, some people just have a hard time keeping things to themselves. It's up to us to discover who we can trust with our secrets.
Some people just can't keep secrets. I would say that you should not tell them any, in that case. :)
No. True friends have their weaknesses just like the rest of us. If your friend can't keep a secret then share it with another friend who can.
not necessarily!

lets face it some ppl just cant keep secrets. I have a friend like this she's lovely in every other way I just "dont" tell her secrets ;)
It depends what i told them....if i was in any danger and they knew something about it then i would not call that not keeping a secret. The friends I have and trust do keep zip if i asked them.

SAN FRANCISCO/STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) is considering Ericsson (ERICb.ST) Chief Executive Hans Vestberg as a possible successor to outgoing CEO Steve Ballmer, Bloomberg reported, citing sources briefed on the software giant's executive search.
The dynamic 48-year-old Swede fits the bill as a media-savvy technology fanatic, but his emergence as a leading candidate for the U.S. company will still come as a surprise to many on Wall Street.
Vestberg, a former elite-level handball player, worked his way through the ranks at the world's largest mobile telecoms equipment maker, with stints in China, Brazil, Mexico and the United States en route to becoming chief financial officer before taking the top job in 2010.
But he has struggled to convince investors that Ericsson can maintain its lead in mobile networks in the face of stiff competition from rivals such as China's Huawei HWT.UL.
Since Vestberg took the helm, the company's shares have underperformed the sector. Though the share price has risen 19 percent, in line with Microsoft, that compares with a leap of nearly 60 percent for the Stoxx Europe 600 Technology Index .SX8P over the same period and a 41 percent rise for Sweden's blue-chip index .OMXS30.
Both Microsoft and Ericsson declined to comment on Bloomberg's report, though a source close to the U.S. company has said that no CEO appointment is likely until the last week of January at the earliest.
Furthermore, Microsoft might prefer a candidate with more experience in consumer products as it tries to take the fight to market leaders Apple (AAPL.O) and Samsung (005930.KS) in handsets and tablets after its purchase of Nokia's (NOK1V.HE) mobile phone business.
Vestberg was in charge of Ericsson's exit from its handset joint venture with Sony two years ago, ending the company's association with consumer products.
"I don't think it's very likely that they will choose Vestberg," said Bengt Nordstrom, head of Swedish telecoms consultancy Northstream.
"It's more logical that they will find a U.S. leader, from their network of owners, board members and experienced CEOs with a software, enterprise and media background. There's enough with talent and experience in the U.S. market."
Since Microsoft's Ballmer announced his retirement plans last August, analysts have discussed potential candidates ranging from company insiders Satya Nadella and Tony Bates to several outsiders.
But speculation refocused on internal choices this month after the leading external candidate, Ford Motor Co (F.N) CEO Alan Mulally, took himself off the list.
Sources familiar with the company have told Reuters that, with Mulally out of the running, the list of candidates able to run a globe-spanning software corporation struggling to expand into the mobile software and devices markets is thin.
Analysts say that Microsoft may have to look at "dark horse" candidates, but noted that some widely touted executives in the technology sector, including Pivotal Inc CEO Paul Maritz, have already declined to take the job.
In a blog post on Microsoft's website last month lead independent director John Thompson, who is spearheading the search, emphasised the need for a CEO with good technology credentials and "an ability to lead a highly technical organisation and work with top technical talent".

About "An Old Friend Of Mine"
Lyrics for Joe Nichols - "An Old Friend Of Mine"
Today I did something
I never thought I'd do
The choice, wasn't easy
But I had to
All the years together
All those cold lonely nights
I never thought I'd be strong enough
To leave it all behind
Yeah, today I said goodbye
To an old friend of mine.
Well it won't be easy
But it's never easy
When you let down
The one you love
There's someone at home
Who needs me
So I'm givin' up
She always knew the truth
Never left my side
Man a love like that
Only comes once in a life
So today I said goodbye
To an old friend of mine
My hands were shakin'
And my knees were weak
As I poured my last shot
And I drank my last drink.
And I heard freedom ring
When that bottle hit the floor
And I just walked away
Not needing any more
Yeah, today I said goodbye
To an old friend of mine.
Yeah, today I said goodbye
To an old friend of mine.

American Idol Recap: Finale Performances
May 15, 2013 06:02 PM by Lisa Princ
It's finally that time, folks! After months of watching, it all comes down to this. Last week, we watched as the top three were narrowed to the final two on American Idol, as Angie Miller was sent packing. Tonight, it's time for the final performances by Kree Harrison and Candice Glover. How did they do? Details inside!
Wow, right off the bat, Kree Harrison's fans made their presence known as they were much louder than Candice Glover's screaming fans – is that a sign of what's to come tomorrow? Tonight, it was three tunes each for the ladies: Simon Fuller's choice, their possible winning song, and their own favorite of the season.
Kree Harrison was up first tonight with Simon Fuller's choice of Angel by Sarah McLachlan. Kree has a beautiful voice, but there was absolutely nothing spectacular about this performance. Blah.And yay, forced silence from the judges – don't you love it when we aren't stuck listening to their chatter?
Fuller's choice for Candice Glover was Adele's Chasing Pavements. Hmm, never heard the song. Another blah performance in my opinion, but the audience loved it – most of them were on their feet. I sure hope the next set of performances are better.
Ryan asked Mariah and Randy what they thought of the performances, and Mariah was foaming at the mouth about how good the final two are. Meanwhile, Randy was the voice of reason, claiming that the song choices were bad, but favored Candice over Kree. Ryan joked (and confirmed) that Randy is leaving after this season, therefore his opinion doesn't matter, ha!
Time for the possible winning singles.
Kree Harrison's song is a tune called All Cried Out. It's a pretty song, but yet another ballad. It had some high points, and as usual Kree sounded great. But the song itself was no where near as catchy as Phillip Phillips Home from last season.
Candice Glover's tune is a song called I Am Beautiful. Candice's song is definitely the better of the two, both performance wise and catchy-wise. Very meaningful with a great message. It's almost as if this song was written for the winner…hmmm. Standing ovation from the judges – shocking.
Nicki Minaj seems to prefer Candice's song over Kree's, while Keith can't say a bad word about either lady. Did anyone else just see that web headline that Nicki is not returning? Wonder if she'll announce it soon? Keith gives Kree the win for this round, Nicki gives Candice the win.
Coming Up The Mountain is Kree's favorite performance of the season, so she takes it on again. She looks amazingly beautiful in a red gown, and her voice is beautiful. She hit the high notes out of the water, and the judges gave her a standing ovation. Randy called it a "winning performance," while Nicki Minaj loved the richness of it. Keith and Mariah both agreed that it was an awesome performance.
Candice's choice for favorite song is I Who Have Nothing. Smart choice. It definitely showcased her awesome voice. It was a very strong performance from Candice. It's definitely a tough one for the viewers tonight. Another standing ovation from the judges. Keith compared the performance to a "planet exploding," while Nicki called her a "superstar." Randy called it another "winning performance," but added that Candice "shot it to a whole nother level."
What do you think about the finale performances? We know you have an opinion, and we want to hear it! Sound off in the comments section below.

May 15th, 2013 at 6:30 pmNicki Minaj need to leave the show now .She put a big damper on the last sing off. The are both great singers . They should be treated that way . I have no respect for Nicki Minaj !!!!!!!!!!
Linda J Alcorn Says:
May 15th, 2013 at 6:57 pmPoor Kree ! This show was a lovefest for Candace. While Kree was singing yet another version of ANGEL, Candace was singing ADELE. The producers gave Kree a boring ballad, and Candace was singing I AM BEAUTIFUL with fireworks going off behind her. And finally Kree shined only to have Candace to sing another powerhouse performance. But despite all of that Im predicting Kree will be named the New American Idol!
G-Money Says:
May 15th, 2013 at 8:45 pmIn my opinion Kree Harrison soon to be a smash single hit song, all cried out, blew Candice song away in round two. Candice song did not have enough meat on it and just sounded like your everyday church girl…The crazy thing is if you noticed all the judges gave Kree a standing ovation but Nicki Manaj… She just sat there blinking her eyes like she was irritated. But she got her big butt up to give Candice a standing ovation. … How rude, but I expected nothing less from this rapper… Honey child, all I can say is enjoy Candice while you can tonite because there is no chance she is going to win this show. Simply because history shows that the majority of viewers are die hard white country fans… This country is country…. Singers like Candice are a dime a dozen… You got to realize what the demographics are that watch AM. They are usually the young female country (white) girls….,,So Naw, Naw, Naw… Whats you finna do!
Lydia Beroncal Says:
May 15th, 2013 at 9:38 pmI always watch American Idol and admire all who can reach the Finale but disappointed with the announced winner! As if the judges many times conscious or unconsciously give hints of their favored favorite its a little bit irritating.But anyway they are still lovable and enjoyable..I like American Idol especially with Jessica Sanchez!
CINDY TAYLOR Says:
May 16th, 2013 at 6:11 amI HAVE WATCHED AMERICAN IDOL SINCE KELLY CLARKSON AND JUSTIN. I EVEN AS MUCH WENT BACK TO MY HOTEL ROOM IN LAS VEGAS TO WATCH THE FINALLY WITH TAYLOR HICKS EVEN THOUGH THE COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS WERE AT MGM. I THINK RANDY AND KEITH URBAN WERE FABULOUS JUDGES, THE 2 PHONIES CAN GO TONIGHT. NICKI WANTS ALL OF THEM TO BE MARSHMELLOWS SO SHE CAN EAT THEM, AND MARIAH IS RUDE, WHEN SHE TOLD LAROUS HE GOT SYMPATHY VOTES I WAS DONE WITH HER. WHERE IS SIMON AND PAULA, WE NEED THEM. I HEARD THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE JUSTIN BIEBER BE A JUDGE MISTAKE, I THINK I WILL HAVE TO STOP WATCHING AS HE HAS NO TALENT JUST A SPOILED BRAT
C L K Says:
May 16th, 2013 at 6:16 pmI agree with the other comments. Kree's voice is memorable and although Candice is a wonderful singer, she has not know shown what kind of artist she wants to be. She sings with her gospel church background, and if that is the artist she wants to be kudos to her.
Kree is a artist who KNOWS who she is & never strays from her choice. The judges appeared very bias through the top 12. The judges need to remember Karma….
Mariah, Nice wishful thinking you are some prim & proper ladie with all of your fake words especially "darling". Also the obvious lip singing at the finale…Idol was obvious so desperate to pick you & Nicki for judges knowing the jerks you made of yourself.
Candice your a great gal, but I don't think you would want to win with help from the powers that be!

The Scottish Borders is an inspiring region to visit, with enthralling history, magnificent castles and endless miles of breathtaking scenery. There are a wide range of activities to choose from, many of which are free of charge.
Visit the Dancing Light Gallery in West Linton and admire beautiful local artworks, including paintings, glasswork, hand-made jewellery and prints. The gallery hosts several changing exhibitions throughout the year, showcasing the best art in the region.
In the Coldstream Museum, you can see a varied programme of exhibitions and workshops. The museum permanently houses displays exploring the history of the parish and the story of the Coldstream Regiment.
Delve into the fascinating world of beekeeping at the Chain Bridge Honey Farm, where you can learn out about the process of making honey, sample some beeswax healing ointments and of course, taste the farm's delicious honey.
On the banks of the River Teviot, you can discover the history of luxury cashmere-making at the Johnstons of Elgin Visitor Centre in Hawick.
Visit the medieval fortress of Hume Castle, a unique castle with a turbulent past due to its proximity to the English border. There is also a wealth of history to uncover at Kelso Abbey, which dates back as far as the 12th century and is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture.
St Mary's Loch, part of the Southern Upland Way
The region is known for being one of the best places in Scotland for mountain biking. Challenge yourself to a 7stanes route at Glentress or Newcastleton, both of which cater for all abilities and will take you through miles of breathtaking landscapes.
For a gentler pace, try out the tranquil River Tweed Cycle Way, which boasts lovely views and passes through quaint towns and villages. The more experienced cyclist might like to try out the Borders Loop, a 250 mile route that meanders across minor roads and tracks, showing off the natural beauty of the Borders.
From short strolls in the countryside to long distance routes, you will find a haven for all walkers. The Hirsel Estate is a picturesque place to wander; spend an afternoon watching wildlife from the bird hide and admire beautiful flowers flourishing in the spring.
For a long distance challenge, you could make a start on the Southern Upland Way which goes through the towns of Galasheils and Lauder. The Sir Walter Scott Way follows partly the same route so you can venture through the magnificent backdrops which inspired the writer's timeless works.

SRK becomes ambadassor of the Korean Culture and Tourism So what if Shah Rukh Khan was not recognized at a U.S airport. He is a star in other countries. Recently the Korean government landed in India to meet Shah Rukh Khan. He is going to be honoured with a Black Belt Honorary in Taekwondo. For what? Don't ask. Just be sure he'll use his mastery the next time someone fails to recognise him. |

SRK has been conferred the 5th degree black belt of Taekwondo even though he knows nothing of the sport. "My son Aryan is very angry with me.He has been practicing Taekwondo and will take another two years to earn this title. He told me that it was not fair to be conferred this honour when I cant even lift my leg," the doting father revealed.
The actor said that despite the black belt he has no plans to compete with Bollywood's martial arts specialist, Akshay Kumar. "I come nowhere near him," he said adding that he would explore the possibilities of utilising Korean locations for his film shoots and showcasing Taekwondo in his films.
Apart from the honour in Taekwondo, the actor was appointed the Honorary Ambassador of Korea (Culture and Tourism) in India. He promised that he would focus on building bridges between the film industries of the two countries.
SRK said his children Aryan and Suhana are learning Taekwondo and won gold medals in competitions at school. "The kids are very small but their knuckles and kicks are really hard and they try it out on me sometimes,"he said.

Apple Hits $1 Billion in Profit for 2005
Apple Hits $1 Billion in Profit for 2005
Daniel Drew Turner
Posted 2005-10-11
Apple reported fourth quarter earnings Tuesday that exceeded expectations, though company shares still fell during after-hours trading.
Apple Computer Inc. reported Tuesday the financial results of its fourth quarter, which company chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer characterized as "the highest annual revenue and net profit in the companys history, with Apple showing its first yearly profit of over $1 billion. For the year, Apple saw net revenues of $13.93 billion, up 384 percent from fiscal 2004, and a net profit of $1.335 billion, up 68 percent over fiscal 2004.
International sales represented 40 percent of the quarters revenues. Gross margins rose to 28.1 percent compared to the year-ago number of 27 percent.
Year-over-year net profit increased more than fourfold from $106 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Similarly, revenues grew $1.3 billion from $2.35 billion in the same time period. Oppenheimer said that the net quarterly profit reached $430 million, which represented 50 cents per diluted share, and revenues of $3.68 billion. This beat
Apples own July estimates
for the quarter of 32 cents of earnings per share and revenues of $3.5 billion. A Thomson Financial survey of analysts had predicted $3.7 in sales and a profit of 37 cents per share. As for unit sales, Oppenheimer said that in the quarter, Apple shipped 1.236 million Macintosh computers, which he characterized as "48 percent year-over-year growth in Mac shipments in Q4." Over the fiscal year, he said, Apple shipped a total of 4.5 million Macs. "We saw very robust Mac sales," Oppenheimer said. He broke this down to 634,000 iBook and PowerBook portables, which represented a 41 percent increase over the year-ago quarter. Similarly, the sales of 602,000 desktop Macs equaled a 56 percent increase year-over-year. 202,000 of those desktops were low-cost Mac minis, though, which meant that the unit sales of Power Mac desktops actually declined. This continued a
trend of increasing Mac sales
seen in the previous quarter. However, Oppenheimer said that 40 percent of Apples total revenue came from its music business, which is split between sales of the iPod and Apples iTMS (iTunes Music Store). Oppenheimer said that Apple sold 6.4 million iPod music players in the fourth quarter, which Oppenheimer said was the "tenth consecutive quarter of record iPod sales." However, more than one million of those sales were of the iPod nano, which was introduced 17 days before the end of the quarter. Though Oppenheimer said that that proved the iPod nano was a "already a huge hit," without those sales the fourth quarter would have realized fewer total iPod sales than in the third quarter. Oppenheimer added that the iPod dominated the digital music player market, holding over 75 percent market share. Likewise, he said that the iTMS had 80 percent of the global digital music market"an 80 percent market share for legally sold and downloaded music."

In addition, Oppenheimer said Apples education channel sold more units than ever, with a 31 percent increase in K-12 sales and a 38 percent rise in the higher education market. Another bright point, Oppenheimer said, was the performance of the Apple retail stores. The retail chain brought in revenues of $663 million for the quarter, resulting in a $35 million profit. For the year, retail store sales were $2.35 billion, for a $151 million profit. Oppenheimer also pointed out that the chain of stores, which Apple expects to expand by about 35 to 40 locations in 2006, had 14.8 million visitors, which translated into 9,800 visitors per store per week, up from 7,400 visitors per store per week in fiscal 2004. He also noted that more than 45 percent of customers buying Macs in the Apple retail stores were new Mac users. Despite the news, Apple shares fell 11.8 percent in after-hours trading.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of TRM's effort to reach microentrepreneurs in East Timor, a region suffering from a deeply underdeveloped financial sector. Since its independence in 2002, East Timor has struggled with internal tensions which led to the quasi disappearance of its financial system. As of 2012, TRM is one of only two MFIs operating in East Timor trying to respond to the needs of thousands of microentrepreneurs. This loan provides underserved borrowers with critical capital to sustain their existing businesses.
Information about TRM
Tuba Rai Metin (TRM) is a microfinance institution in East Timor, one of the smallest, newest and least developed countries in Southeast Asia. The organization provides credit, savings and micro-insurance services to more than 7,000 clients. Its goal is to extend its reach into even more remote regions through branchless banking services.About Timor-Leste
