Pink and Say ISBN: 0399226710 The Story (From Leah Polacco)
Pink and Say highlights the brief but intimate friendship of two young boys, Pinkus Aylee (Pink) and Sheldon Curtis (Say), during the Civil War. When wounded attempting to escape his unit, Say is rescued by Pink, who carries him back to his Georgia home where he and his family were slaves. While the frightened soldier is nursed back to health under the care of Pink's mother, Moe Moe Bay, he begins to understand why his new found friend is so adamant on returning to the war; to fight against "the sickness" that is slavery. However it isn't until marauders take Moe Moe Bay's life, that Say is driven to fight. Although ultimately, both boys are taken prisoners of the Confederate Army, fortunately Say survives and was unable to pass along the story of Pink and Say to his daughter Rosa, Patricia Polacco's great grandmother. As it was told, Pink was hanged just shortly after being taken prisoner, therefore Patricia's book "serves as a written memory" of him. At the end of the story Patricia bids the reader, "Before you put this book down, say his name (Pinkus Aylee) out loud and vow to remember him always." One of the more heartwarming moments of the story is when Say tells Pink and his mother that he once shook the hand of Abraham Lincoln. Convinced that his encounter is a "sign" of hope, Say reaches for Pink's hand, exclaiming, "Now you can say you touched the hand that shook the hand of Abraham Lincoln!" At the end of the story when the boys are separated, Pink reaches for Say one last time to touch his hand. After hearing this story from Patricia Polacco in the words of generations preceding, I eagerly touched her hand; the hand that has touched the hand, that has touched the hand… I can assure you, the hope is still alive!

Tasting Notes by dbk
Few distilleries merit the term 'traditional' these days. Appealing to tradition has become a pervasive scheme by which large beverage conglomerates market their brands, but it glosses over a great deal of the modernised, mechanised world of today's whisky production. The Springbank distillery, however, is the archetypal exception.
Springbank performs all of its own floor maltings. It regulates the malting temperature by the use of window shutters. Its washbacks are made of larch. (The larch. The larch.) The wash still works by open fire and steam coils. Uniquely, Springbank is distilled 2.8 times; the heavily peated Longrow and the unpeated Hazelburn, also produced by Springbank, are distilled twice and three times, respectively.
The core Springbank range consists of the 10, 15, and 18 year-old expressions, but there are also numerous single cask, vintage, NAS, and ACEd expressions, as well as some stately elder releases. Among these alternatives is the 12 year-old cask strength release, reviewed here.
The nose is classic Springbank: sweet, creamy, and malty, with coconut, butterscotch, cereal grain, and a touch of peat smoke. Initially, upon opening the bottle, I found notes of marshmallows and a hint of something metallic, but both have since subsided.
The palate is again sweet, rich Springbank malt, reminiscent of malted milk or rice pudding. There is tropical fruit (pineapple, perhaps?), bittersweet cocoa, sherry, coconut, smoke, a hint of salt, and menthol on the finish.
The 12 year-old cask strength is another remarkable malt from Springbank. It took some time to open up, but once it did, it opened up beautifully.

Just as a sidenode: Distilling 2.8 times means they are mixing their 2-times-distilled and 3-times-distilled dram 1:4. Just to awoid possible confusings.

Oracle has released its first Java Development Kit (JDK) and JavaFX Software Development Kit (SDK) for Mac OS X.
Java developers can now download Java Platform, Standard Edition 7, Update 4 (Java SE 7 Update 4) and JavaFX SDK 2. 1 for Mac OS X from Oracle Technology Network. The Java SE 7 Update 4 SDK includes the next-generation Garbage Collection algorithm, Garbage First (G1), which has been highly anticipated by the Java developer community.
JavaFX 2. 1 introduces playback support for digital media stored in the MPEG- 4 multimedia container format containing H.264/AVC video and Advanced Audio Coding audio.
It also includes WebView support for JavaScript to Java method calls. "We look forward to delivering simultaneous releases of the JRE [Java runtime environment] across all major operating systems later this year, so all Java users will be able to take advantage of the latest features and security fixes," says Hasan Rizvi, senior vice president of Oracle Fusion Middleware and Java products at Oracle.
WHEN THE SILICON VALLEY WEB DEVELOPER JAVA USER GROUP WAS FORMED in April 2003 by Van Riper, its initial focus was on the Jakarta Struts framework. In July 2004, the focus was broadened to include J2EE. Today, the group covers all Java technologies and as of April 2012 is known as the Silicon Valley Java User Group (SVJUG).
Kevin Nilson joined Riper as coleader in 2007, when the group still had fewer than 100 members. Joining Meetup in 2009 proved to be a turning point in growth. By August 2009, the group had 536 members, which doubled to 1,071 by May 2010. Current membership exceeds 2,300.
SVJUG meets on the third Wednesday of each month atGoogle headquarters in Mountain View, California, withattendance ranging from 100 to 200 people. The JUG'slocation provides many advantages, Nilson says, especiallywith regard to speakers. "Some of the top speakers we havehad are James Gosling, Joshua Bloch, Rod Johnson, NealGafter, Bob Lee, Gavin King, Chet Haase, Romain Guy, andthe Java Posse."Even the attendees have been known to give presen-tations in a pinch. "Once I made a scheduling mistakeand realized that our speaker was not scheduled to comeuntil one month later," Nilson says. "Luckily jQuery com-mitters Jonathan Sharp and Mike Holster were in thefront row. At 6: 55 p.m., I approached them about giving atalk at 7:00 p.m. Jonathan and Mike were happy to fill inand gave a great presentation."Marakana Tech TV records many SVJUG talks, and whenthe JUG cohosts a meeting with the Silicon Valley JavaFXMeetup, Marakana live-streams the event. "Our group hasbeen very lucky because others have stepped up to helprecord our talks," notes Nilson. "We do not do any of ourown recording, so usually only popular talks get recorded."SVJUG members also actively participate in the SiliconValley Code Camp, a community event where developerslearn from fellow developers. All are welcome to attend andspeak—more than 2,000 developers attended last year.
SVCC 2012 will be held October 6–7 (following JavaOne).
At a Silicon Valley JUG meeting in May, speaker David Montag of Neo Technology provided a high-level introduction to graph databases.

it sounds like you have an scope with BDC instead of a boresiter scope. The ONLY scopes with special sighting in procedure I'm familiar with are Shepards scopes.
Could it be that you shoot a group with an unsighted rifle, place the pointer on the group and then adjust your crosshairs to the point of the black pointer, and thus sight it in? I don't think they make that model any more.

Early in the year, when the temperature in Pella, Iowa, (Vermeer's hometown) was around zero and the ground solidly frozen, we visited with Jon Kuyers, manager of ride-on trenchers and compact equipment, about the design of the RTX1250 and its undercarriage options.
Machines like the RTX1250 are used in trenching, plowing and rock sawing, said Kuyers, and each may have different traction requirements depending on ground conditions.
"In trenching, it's really a mixed bag, because of the various terrain the machine encounters," says Kuyers. "Often a machine like the RTX1250 on tires has more tractive effort than required when pulling a trencher, because the trencher can work only so fast. But with a plow, too much tractive effort is never a problem. The vibratory action of the plow is an assist, of course, but it's the actual pulling force of the tractor that moves the plow through the ground."
During development and testing of optional undercarriage systems for the RTX1250, Vermeer learned that rubber-track modules are effective in both trenching and plowing. When trenching, the modules help maintain production in applications where poor ground conditions and steep terrain are detriments; and when plowing, the rubber-track modules generally boost production, especially when surface conditions turn slippery.
According to Kuyers, an unexpected benefit derived from the rubber-track modules is their positive affect in rock sawing. Because pneumatic tires can flex, the rockwheel may bounce, momentarily losing contact with the face. The rubber tracks' firm, flat-footed stance pulls the saw consistently into the cut. Production benefits, as does the smoothness of the cut and life of the saw and cutting teeth.
Overall, says Kuyers, equipping the RTX1250 with tracks will allow contractors to extend their working season and to maintain or increase production in a broader range of conditions. Tracks, he says, have allowed some contractors to take on jobs that had been beyond their capabilities.
CE editors returned to Pella in early May to observe first-hand the performance and potential production differences among the RTX1250's undercarriages. Kuyers had arranged to have plow-equipped units available with the three different undercarriages, and had created a 1,000-foot test course for the machines to traverse.
The course represented varied operating conditions, including plowing a hard-packed road, working through a cul-de-sac, climbing rough terrain and slogging through slippery, soft conditions that challenged flotation and traction. Each of the undercarriages tried the course, and we recorded the time each required to traverse each section. This simple demonstration allowed us to calculate a production rate for each undercarriage in the various operating conditions, and overall, to asses their relative performance as conditions changed. The accompanying sidebar, "The Plowing Tractor's World," gives the details.
To make the comparisons an "apples-to-apples" event, professional operator Chris Anderson ran all the machines. Anderson is a long-time employee of Mid American Energy, based in Des Moines, and typically runs either a vibratory plow or a horizontal directional drill to install utilities. We've included some of Anderson's observations and comments in the sidebar, but it's fair to say here that he's a fan of the tracked machines.
Having operated plows with a single, long track on each side of the machine, Anderson sees the four tracks' ability to plow around a radius like a wheeled machine and climb obstacles without break-over as clear advantages.
"Also, since you can crab steer with the quad-track system, you can sometimes tip the tracks just a bit into a hill and maintain a straight line across the slope."
"Another consideration for our company is restoration. The rubber track doesn't tear up the ground as much as tires. After we've plowed, we come right back over it with the tracks and level it out. Sometimes you can hardly see that we've been there."
Without giving too much away here, we can say that the overall production of rubber tracks is superior to wheels, and steel tracks out-work rubber tracks.
Of course, enhanced capability carries a price tag. Compared to an RTX1250 equipped with rubber tires, expect the list price of the same machine with rubber tracks to be around 30 percent more. If you want steel tracks, expect to pay about 20 percent more for the XTS1250 than the price of the rubber-tracked machine. As always, price is relative to performance. Undercarriage options now allow RTX1250 customers to decide how much traction they need — then to pay accordingly.

Adams mb2 tour issue irons only!
Newcastle, Tyne and Wear £390.00- Posted
- 771 days ago
Up for sale are these fantastic irons which were only available on tour, joe public could not buy these irons! TOUR ISSUE ONLY 3-PW
The irons are a muscle back design with the satin finish! Absolutely fantastic clubs!
All the clubs come with project x 6.5 non flighted shafts and they have all been Spine aligned and pured ( shaft bands are not in line for this reason) all built by a guy that builds clubs for few tour guys. To have this guy build your clubs it would coat in excess of £200 he puts a hell of alot of work making these precisely RIGHT all swing weights and lofts and shafts correct! If you know anything about golf you know that having this done is very expensive but worth it as it makes clubs perform more consistently! Also all the shafts and heads were WEIGHT SORTED also, so every shaft is within a gram!
Clubs are fitted with red golf pride full cords
These are not some normal OEM set the difference when combined with the highest level of club building is something else! Play exactly what the pros play and see and feel the difference. This set new would cost well in excess of a 1000 IF it was possible to buy them new and factor the build price in, you have a very very rare quality build.
Open to very sensible offers thanks for looking.
Happy to deliver if local and if you want more photos I can send them also.

North of "the Notch", and overshadowed by Littleton, Franconia has escaped the gaudy strip motels and gift shops that line other White Mountain towns. Now, sitting at the base of Cannon Mountain, Franconia is seeing an influx of tourists and residents, as that once sleepy ski mountain expands and joins the ranks of New England's most impressive ski areas. Property has become expensive, even in the past two years. But, it is worth it. Franconia has stellar views of Cannon and the Lafayette Ridge, easy freeway access, and a treasure in Franconia Notch itself.
The Franconia region was nicknamed "The Alps of America", not because of its craggy peaks, but because of its first "ski-immigrants".
Legends of ski-racing and technique were forced out of Austria by the approaching German occupation of the late 30's, early 40's. One forefather of skiing, Hannes Schneider, visited New Hampshire during this period to consider relocating and founding a ski school in the Whites. Story has it that Mr. Schneider was less-than-impressed by the New England peaks, calling them "hills" and "babies" by comparison to his beloved Alps. However, a hike to the top of Mt. Moosilauke(4810') changed his mind, when, upon breaking treeline, the proud Austrian was brought to his knees under the brutal winds and snows - an anomaly of this region caused by a particularly powerful jet stream.
Schneider was impressed, and brought the first ski-school in the United States to New Hampshire. Racing trails were cut on Moosilauke, as well as on Cannon, and the first aerial tramway on the continent was built on Cannon shortly thereafter.
- Pros:Dramatic scenery, quaint town
- Cons:Skyrocketing property prices
- In a nutshell:Classic Mountain Town

For years, MSN Messenger was a well known and popular chat program a lot of folks used. With the advent of GTalk, Yahoo IM, Meebo, Digsby, Trillian, and so many other chat programs, MSN really started falling by the wayside. In order to rebrand the IM app (along with grouping other social network services under the one umbrella), the app was renamed "Windows Live Messenger" and packaged along with other Windows Live apps.
Last year Jack did an awesome job covering a number of the best features Windows Live Messenger has to offer. In this article, I'd like to cover some some additional features, and ways you can use Live Messenger to quickly transfer photos and other files to your friend's computer.
Integrating Windows Messenger With Everything
One of the most annoying things about most of the older, original IM applications like Yahoo Messenger and MSN Messenger is the fact that they are so isolated from other social networks where your friends hang out. This is gradually changing as these older IM apps have to compete with newer IM systems like Meebo or Yoomo that integrate multiple IM accounts into one client.
On Windows Messenger, you can now import contacts from your external social networks by clicking on the "Add Contact" icon and selecting "Add people from other services…"
You can import contacts from all of your top social networks and email systems like Facebook, LinkedIn, Outlook, AOL Mail and even your Gmail account.
MSN Messenger will sort through the email addresses of your contacts and try to determine whether or not these people are already in the Windows Live system. You can select which people you want to connect with inside Windows Live Messenger, and the system will send a mass invite out to those friends.
Sending Files & Photos On MSN Messenger
Once you open up a chat with one of your online contacts, at any point during the chat, you can send over a file by clicking on "Files" and "Send a file or photo…"
The file appears embedded right inside the chat itself. If it's a photo you're sending, Windows Messenger will now actually display a thumbnail image of the photo. A request is sent to your friend to accept the file transfer. Once they accept, you'll see the status bar showing the transfer taking place.
As you can see, sending and receiving files in Live Messenger is pretty straightforward. However there are a few things you should set up before you start receiving files from friends. Click on Tools, Options, File Transfer to access the file transfer properties.
Here you can set up how incoming files you receive from friends are automatically handled. You can save incoming files to a specific folder, enable automatic anti-virus scanning of those files using whatever software you prefer (or install Windows Live OneCare).
Windows Live For Mobile
If you want to send and receive files and photos from your mobile device, you can enable Windows Live for Mobile on your account by clicking on "Phone" and the "Mobile Settings" button.
Once you've set up Windows Live for Mobile, you can automatically share pictures that you take on your phone, and you can access the whole range of mobile apps now available on Windows Live Mobile.
Additional Features Available On Live Messenger
There are also a whole range of cool things you can do with Live Messenger – some have been part of the software for a while and others are somewhat new.
If you read my article on the MSN Gaming Zone, then you will know that Microsoft is trying to compete in the online gaming industry. One way it is doing that is by integrating online games into the Live Messenger. All you have to do is click "Games" at the top of the chat window and available games you can play with your chat partner will appear on the left.
Another useful feature that Jack mentioned in his article is the Request Remote Assistance feature. Although I do have to report that when I tested this feature with our writer Dave, we found that the remote access component is flaky at best. It actually sent both of us offline and didn't work. So, this feature may or may not work for you – but it seems Microsoft has a bit more work to do to get this working for everyone.
Another little feature you might not have realized exists in Live Messenger is the little "record" icon at the bottom of the chat next to the emoticons. You can quickly record yourself and send the clip over the chat session to your friend. This is useful for when you're not really interested in an audio chat, but you did want to send a clip of yourself doing something like singing.
Whether or not you like Microsoft, it seems that Windows Live Messenger, formerly MSN Messenger, will probably be around for a long time. It does seem that Microsoft is continually improving on the IM software by adding some additional, pretty cool features like those listed above. However, whether it will be able to fully compete in the future with all of the new, jazzy IM clients coming out remains to be seen.
Do you find these features useful? What other things do you think Microsoft should do to improve their IM client? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

This three-wheeled beauty is the brainchild of Serbian industrial designer and professor Marko Lukovic, who was honored for his "Supersonic" concept car in the Michelin Challenge Design competition along with several other futuristic concepts. Designed to resemble a supersonic aircraft, the electric car would run on small lithium-ion batteries and be powered by in-wheel motors at both of the back wheels.
The roof of the Supersonic is a canopy constructed of photosensitive liquid crystal, which would darken to filter out bright light or offer extra privacy to the driver and passenger, who sit one in front of the other. Lukovic designed the car for a future in which cars can be driven or drive themselves, and in which car batteries are small enough to be removed from your vehicle and charged in your home or office like a cell phone.

JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska, known for its live-and-let-live lifestyle, is poised to become the next battleground in the push to legalize the recreational use of marijuana.
The state has a complicated history with the drug, with its highest court ruling nearly 40 years ago that adults have a constitutional right to possess and smoke marijuana for personal use in their own homes. In the late 1990s, Alaska became one of the first states to allow the use of pot for medicinal reasons.
Then the pendulum swung the other direction, with residents in 2004 rejecting a ballot effort to legalize recreational marijuana. And in 2006, the state passed a law criminalizing possession of even small amounts of the drug — leaving the current state of affairs somewhat murky.
Supporters of recreational marijuana say attitudes toward pot have softened in the past decade, and they believe they have a real shot at success in Alaska.
The state is reviewing their request to begin gathering signatures to get an initiative on next year's ballot. The proposal would make it legal for those 21 and older to use and possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana, though not in public. It also would set out provisions for legal grow operations and establish an excise tax.
It's a significantly different version of the failed 2004 ballot effort that would've allowed adults 21 and older to use, grow, sell or give away marijuana or hemp products without penalty under state law.
"The whole initiative, you can tell, is scaled down to be as palatable as possible," said one of the sponsors, Bill Parker.
Deputy Attorney General Richard Svobodny said in an email that home-use marijuana cases in Alaska are few because authorities have no reason to get a search warrant unless something else is going on inside a house that attracts their attention.
The proposed initiative includes language that says it's not intended to diminish the right to privacy interpreted in the 1975 case. But it notes that case is not a "blanket protection for marijuana possession," said Mason Tvert, a spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project.

Listen to the songs of the wandererBy Sean Scanlan, Special to The China Post September 28, 2012, 5:25 pm TWN The 10th Migration Music Festival (流浪之歌音樂節) gets underway this weekend bringing musicians and performers from virtually every corner of the Earth. The theme of this year's festival is "Gathering on the Road," an impromptu intersection where music and art can transcend borders and cultures.
This year's visiting musicians come from Greece, India, Israel, Palestine, Iran, West Africa, Japan and Taiwan. While many visiting performers will make their debut in Taiwan, a few are familiar faces like Habib Koité from Mali whose guitar work and clear voice leave audiences spellbound. Koité's performance at the previous Migration Festival was spellbinding as the entire audience of 300-400 people in Zhongshan Hall were enraptured by his positive vibes and the uplifting nature of his music. He was also an accomplished story teller, conveying meaningful lessons from Mali where the sun always shines and people are grateful for the simplest gifts. "One of the highlights this year is collaboration between Koité and master Okinawan folk musician Takashi Hirayasu," Migration publicist Lan Yu-zhen told The China Post. She added that this performance will be a first for the two musicians, and believes that interaction between artists and musicians is one of the most important aspects of this year's festival. Another highlight is the Labyrinth Project from Greece led by Ross Daly. The project is actually the creation of a musical space where people from different cultures can come together and explore new creative possibilities. In association with this group, a series of free, 20-minute performances will be held in various spaces around Zhongshan Hall. This is intended to allow the public to directly interact with visiting musicians performing a variety of different instruments such as the talking drum, oud, mouth harp and Greek lyra. Other free events include a variety of workshops that will begin next Monday at National Chengchi University. Each workshop is conveniently scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., allowing both students and office workers easy access to these events. As for the other performances at this year's Migration Music Festival, they will require either a festival pass or individual ticket for entrance. Most of the ticketed performances will take place next weekend, Oct. 5-7, including top draws like Habib Koité. Still, audiences should not miss out on other performers such as Ramesh Shotham, an Indian drummer and percussionist; Kelly Thoma, an expert on the Greek lyra; or Giorgos Manolakis, a virtuoso on the laouto, a type of long-necked lute. For more complete schedule information as well as ticketing policies, please visit the festival's website at http://www.treesmusic.com/festival/2012mmf/index.html. ■ 'Migration Music Festival' (流浪之歌音樂節) ► From Sept. 29 (Sat.) to Oct. 7 (Sun.) / Zhongshan Hall (臺北市中山堂) / No. 98 Yanping S.

Shrimpers keen on Robinson deal
The 20-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell at Roots Hall last season, scoring seven goals for the Shrimpers.
United have made little secret of their desire to take Robinson back to Essex but Brush has admitted they may need to wait for Watford's managerial situation to be resolved before making any
"We're still keen on Theo," Brush told the Southend Echo.
"He did well while on loan with us last season but with the comings and goings at Watford, we don't know what will happen."

A guide to home automation
As the world becomes increasingly technology-driven and gadget-reliant, it only makes sense to find a way to gain greater control of your devices. Although some people shy away from the smart house movement out of a desire for simple living, home automation certainly serves a purpose. Find out why people make the switch, what you need to do so and what one major company is working toward.The reasoning behind home automation
According to Bitwise Controls, there are four major benefits to automating your home. First of all, the command you have over appliances can save energy and money. By programming your radiant heat thermostat to activate and maintain the system, you can heat your home more efficiently. As a result, utility bills can begin to dwindle. You could also deactivate all of the appliances that are plugged in during the workday, eliminating the subsequent electricity use that people don't often consider.With an automated home that can be controlled remotely, there will much less to worry about when you're not around. Many systems allow users to check up on the commands using a smartphone or computer. Others will even send text message alerts if anything seems out of place, like a light left on or a door left unlocked.Finally, home automation can save time by grouping tasks and simplifying processes. While turning lights on and off, brewing a pot of coffee and adjusting the thermostat take just a few seconds each, BitWise said the saved time will add up. With an automated system, you no longer need multiple remotes or complicated explanations. Using just one system to run all of the home's electronics means everyone in the family can learn how to control the activity. Additionally, people might use appliances and gadgets more often when they are so easily accessible.Basic necessary supplies
PCWorld described the three baseline products you need to begin a home automation project: a computer, automation-aware devices and specific software. The source compared the concept of a computer running automation software to the mind of your smart home. Because the house's brain should always be running, it was suggested that you invest in an always-on system or server that will keep the computer awake and functioning, regardless of inactivity. At this stage in the game, almost anything that runs on electricity can be outfitted for automation-awareness, from kitchen appliances to heated floor systems. To make the system work, you need to use a type of power-line technology or wireless program to help the devices communicate. You can even use multiple types of technology on one system, though your PC will need interface software for each. Apple's future program
At Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference in June, the tech giant announced the addition of the HomeKit system to the upcoming iOS8 operating system. Although it didn't show any hardware, according to Mashable, developers can currently test their apps using the software. A handful of sponsors who have already adapted to work well with HomeKit were announced, including Philips and Haier. HomeKit works using a series of names for various rooms and gadgets that can be automated. It can connect to multiple homes, each of which you must give a name, then delves into specific areas and devices. Once you name a room, HomeKit will identify appliances that can be automated using the software. After you name the items that should be automated, you can enter control settings such as on and off, or high and low. There's a group setting so you can control all of your lights at once, or set a morning routine for several appliances such as a coffee pot, lights, music and blinds.

Setting Heaters and a Miracle

What a wonderful idea for the neighborhood! I am far too isolated to be involved in something like that, but I've been so lucky to have such good friends ready to lend hand in my own time of need. Just one pair of helping hands can make so much difference. Just think of what 350 homes banded together to help each other out can do!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful community! My mom is my walking miracle! Longest surviving liver transplant patient in Canada! will be 22 years in June. Also the first transplant of its kind as she had basically no portal vein function. There was an old convent/church where she stayed in London Ontario, but your area sounds so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely story and how appropriate for Thanksgiving.
Brrr! The horses' waterer froze once last winter due to an electrical glitch. Thankfully we could haul water from inside relatively easily and they were only minus the auto-version for one day. But I'm not looking forward to the sustained below-zeroes, that's for sure!

With the tax-preparation giant doing most of its business between early February and mid-April, this quarter is always the most important one for the company, and investors already have high expectations for the company.
One thing that H&R Block always has going in its favor is the complexity of the tax code. With new tax increases having taken effect at the beginning of 2013, the company can expect even more confusion among taxpayers during next year's tax season, pointing to further growth potential ahead. Let's take an early look at what's been happening with H&R Block over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its quarterly report.

Can H&R Block knock its earnings out of the park this quarter?
Analysts have gotten a bit more enthusiastic about H&R Block's earnings in recent months, raising their estimates for the April quarter by $0.03 per share and increase their views on fiscal 2014 by a penny per share. But the stock has already gotten a head start on the celebration, rising 19% since early March.
Much of those gains came right after H&R Block's earnings report three months ago, in which the company gave some positive guidance for the April quarter. Although the company reported a much wider-than-expected loss in its fiscal third quarter, CEO Bill Cobb projected tax-filing growth of 1% to 2% and said that H&R Block was winning the competitive battle. Although early tax filings were down because of IRS delays stemming from the late passage of the fiscal-cliff compromise, expected overall growth was good news for the company.
But then, H&R Block ran into trouble with its software. The IRS said that a limited number of software company products failed to provide for the correct treatment of the American Opportunity educational tax credit, forcing an estimated 660,000 taxpayers to have to wait an additional six weeks for their refunds, and H&R Block had been informing its customers about the problems. Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU ) already has a commanding lead over H&R Block with Intuit's TurboTax software, so H&R Block's slip-up likely didn't add much to Intuit's dominance. But even Blucora's (NASDAQ: BCOR ) TaxAct software might well benefit from the issue, forcing H&R Block to rely even more on its bricks-and-mortar stores in order to keep its sales up.
In the end, H&R Block wasn't able to deliver on its promise of tax-return growth, as the company announced toward the end of April that it had served 0.9% fewer clients through April 18 than it did the previous year. With its inability to gain market share from Intuit, Blucora, and other tax-preparation alternatives, it's unclear why investors have been bidding the shares up so aggressively.
In H&R Block's quarterly report, look beyond the headline revenue and profit numbers to figure out where the company is having the most success getting clients and which products are driving revenue the most. Despite its short-term setbacks, H&R Block really does have a lucrative opportunity next tax season to capture a whole new audience, and so a disappointment that spurred a share-price plunge might actually provide a nice buying opportunity for long-term investors.

3. Paradisiac pink pepperpod exfoliator
The indulgent, brilliantly named pink pepperpod and spicy ginger scrub is great for invigorating tired feet - particularly those that are yet to see a sandal this year. A great pre-holiday treatment, it leaves skin feeling smoother and softer and beautifully scented.

The implementation of Puerto Rican Regulation No. 6768, which overhauled the existing fishery management framework, generated considerable hostility towards local managers. Among the controversial management measures adopted in 2004 were the assignment of fishing licenses based on fishing income, the establishment of closed seasons, and new minimum size restrictions for commercially valuable species. Though tensions have subsided, considerable opposition to these regulations remains. This paper provides a characterization of the current population of active small-scale fishermen, discusses their perceptions about the biological and socio-economic condition of the fishery, and describes their attitudes towards the new management framework. This study revealed that the number of active fishermen decreased from 1,731 in 1988 to 868 in 2008. Although a declining resource base was one of the main drivers behind these waning participation statistics, rising fuel costs and burdensome regulations exacerbated the rate of attrition. The majority of the fishermen were middleaged men (50 years) with moderate levels of formal education and high levels of fishing dependence which limited their employment opportunities outside the fishery. Most of the vessels were small (20 ft) and outfitted with a single outboard engine (80 hp). Hook and line and SCUBA were dominant gears because of their versatility and cost effectiveness. Fishermen suggested that their opposition to the regulations would continue unless they were afforded greater regulatory flexibility and provided with a larger role in the decision-making process. Fishermen were adamant about the need to reconsider the income reporting requirements to secure a fishing license because of the potential for losing public assistance benefits. They also objected to increasing the minimum size of many deepwater snapper (Lutjanidae) and grouper (Serranidae) species because it forced them to discard dead fish, a practice they consider wasteful since these species do not survive the ascent to the surface once hooked.

Explore Trondheim to the Lofoten islands Trondheim North from Trondheim to Bodø Bodø Narvik The Vesterålen islands The Lofoten islands Share The goal of Trondheim's pilgrims in times past was the rambling Nidaros Domkirke, Scandinavia's largest medieval building, whose copper-green spire and multiple roofs lord it over the south end of Munkegata. Gloriously restored following several fires and the upheavals of the Reformation, the cathedral, which is dedicated to St Olav, remains the focal point of any visit to the city and is best explored in the early morning, when it's reasonably free of tour groups. In the summertime, there are free English-language guided tours and you can climb the cathedral tower for a panoramic view over the city and its surroundings. The crowning glory of this magnificent blue- and green-grey soapstone edifice is its west facade, a soaring cliff-face of finely worked stone sporting a magnificent rose window, rank after rank of pointed arches, biblical, religious and royal figures by the dozen and a fancy set of gargoyles. The west facade and the nave behind may look medieval, but date from the nineteenth century: the originals were erected in the early Gothic style of the early thirteenth century, but they were destroyed by fire in 1719 and what you see today is a painstakingly accurate reconstruction. The fire did not, however, raze the Romanesque transepts, whose heavy hooped windows and dog-tooth decoration were the work of English stonemasons in the twelfth century. English workmen also lent a hand in the thirteenth-century choir, where the arches, flying buttresses and intricate tracery are the epitome of early Gothic – and are reminiscent of contemporaneous churches in England. The interior Inside the cathedral, the gloomy half-light hides much of the lofty decorative work, but it is possible to examine the strikingly ascetic early twentieth-century choir screen, whose wooden figures are the work of Gustav Vigeland. Vigeland was also responsible for the adjacent soapstone font, a superb piece of medievalism sporting four bas-reliefs depicting Adam and Eve, John the Baptist baptizing the Christ, the Resurrection and a beguiling Noah and the Ark: Noah peers apprehensively out of his boat, not realizing that the dove, with the telltale branch, is up above. The other item of particular interest is a famous fourteenth-century altar frontal (front panel of an altar painting) displayed in a chapel off the ambulatory, directly behind the high altar. At a time when few Norwegians could read or write, the cult of St Olav had to be promoted visually, and the frontal is the earliest surviving representation of Olav's life and times. In its centre, Olav looks suitably beatific holding his axe and orb; the top left-hand corner shows the dream Olav had before the Battle of Stiklestad, with Jesus dropping a ladder down to him from heaven. In the next panel down, Olav and his men are shown at prayer before the battle and, in the bottom right-hand corner, Olav meets a sticky end, speared and stabbed by three cruel-looking soldiers. The final panel shows church officials exhuming Olav's uncorrupted body and declaring his sainthood. What you won't see now is the object of the medieval pilgrims' veneration: St Olav's silver casket-coffin was taken to Denmark and unceremoniously melted down to be made into coins in 1537.

Indie Review: Eleusis
Eleusis is an adventure horror game created by indie developers Nocturnal Works, that takes place in a seemingly abandoned, mysterious village in Greece. How does it measure up?
Quick Rating
- Worth The Time?Depends. The narrative is, but some of the gameplay can get tedious.
- Things LovedThe engaging story, excellent graphics and sound, exploration is nicely emphasised, there's a well thought-out sequence to the puzzles, the setting makes for great immersion, it feels like a top quality production.
- Things HatedPerformance can drop significantly on DirectX 11 mode due to Tessellation, the game is very item-specific and it can be difficult to find what you need, running around searching can get very tedious and detract greatly from the interesting story and setting, some physics glitches, lack of variety.
- RecommendationThis is an expensive indie game, but it has a lot of quality and effort put into it. If you're not adverse to thorough exploration and old-school item hunting, the great narrative will definitely pull you in and you'll love this. For the more modern or impatient gamer, it could get tedious and frustrating.

Eleusis is an adventure horror game created by indie developers Nocturnal Works, that takes place in a seemingly abandoned, mysterious village in Greece. In the game you take on the role of a character who is unfortunate enough to have his car break down near to this village, and tries to seek refuge only to find himself caught at the center of something dangerous and strange going on. It's not too long before he begins to discover signs of a cult at work, and without knowledge of their goals or power, he is the only one who can stop them. But before you're able to do that, you'll need to arm yourself with the necessary knowledge from various clues and texts based on actual history, mythology and technology of ancient Greece. Only once you discover what the cult is after, can you stop them.

The narrative is by far the most interesting aspect of Eleusis. Right from the beginning the setting will draw you in, and the mysterious village will provide a great level of immersion. There are short cutscenes as well to help the story along, as well as a bit of voice acting. It's definitely a game of really high quality by talented indie developers, and that shines through in the game's story and especially its graphics and audio. In many ways, I found myself wanting to get past the gameplay just so I could see more of the story, and that's really the mark of any good story – or possibly unsatisfactory gameplay. The story is admirably kept within its scope, and never tries to be more than it is, coming around to a satisfying conclusion in the end and ultimately being well-written. It's the best part of the game.
As far as gameplay is concerned, the name of the game is exploration. You'll explore the village and its outskirts in order to solve the game's puzzles and make progress. The map is fairly large, but not too big to be overbearing. You'll just need to have a good sense of direction, and you'll run through each area enough times throughout the game so that it gets ingrained in your memory. This element of exploration is very nicely emphasised in the game, and it's pretty great to discover the village and see what lies inside it. There's definitely a well thought-out sequence to the puzzles, in that they connect quite well and it's often that you'll deal with one situation at a time, rather than be tasked with many, despite the map being open to you to explore, which is a good thing as it keeps you focused.
However, the unfortunate thing about the gameplay in Eleusis is that it's very item-specific, and it can be difficult to find what you need. Running around searching every nook and cranny in this fairly large map can get really tedious and detract greatly from the interesting story and fantastic setting. Even worse is that often it can feel like all you're doing is looking for items, and there isn't much else to break up the variety. The game lacks intriguing gameplay scenarios, which is a shame since the narrative and setting are so interesting. Sure, the puzzles are well-designed, but solving them isn't the problem so much as finding what you need to actually solve them. It's very easy to miss things and get stuck.
I can attest to that because I play a lot of adventure and puzzle games, and I'm quite the stubborn one when it comes to getting help. I'll persevere and push at it until I get it, but the downside to that is a game like Eleusis ended up frustrating me, especially because I so much wanted to see the story unfold and progress through it. At times it takes too much of a back seat. The gameplay is definitely not all bad, it's mostly solid, but it can often feel like a platform to delay the narrative rather than drive it. Perhaps that's because I was too interested in the story itself, and maybe those who enjoy scratching their heads and getting really invested in the puzzle solving element would find far more to enjoy here. I mean, just when you're closing in on the finale to the game, you suddenly find yourself needing to find five things spread far away from each other on the map, which really cuts the tension and slows you down. The game just needed more intriguing scenarios and variety to divert from item-scavenging.
When it comes to its graphics and audio, Eleusis is certainly amazing. Created using the Unreal Development Kit, this game is top notch when it comes to visual quality, supporting both DirectX 9 and 11 with Tessellation. The environments are packed with detail, and the atmosphere is really great. It's a world you'll want to explore and interact with, as much as its one that you'll want to look at and admire. The developers undoubtedly poured a lot of effort and talent into this aspect of the game, and it shines through. There are a few issues though, sadly. For one, it's very easy for the physics to glitch and spaz when you're moving around objects. But the biggest offender is that performance can drop significantly when using DirectX 11 mode, due to Tessellation. The latest update did improve performance and frame rate, but it can still chug noticeably. Back to the positive side is that the voice acting and sound are both great, and definitely match the quality shown with the graphics, which was very impressive.
Eleusis is extremely well-made, and a top quality production. It may be expensive, but there's no denying that a lot of effort was put into it. The narrative however is the main attraction, but the gameplay unfortunately has the potential to detract from it. If you're not adverse to thorough exploration and old-school item hunting, the great narrative will definitely pull you in and you'll love this experience. But for the more modern or impatient gamer, it could easily get tedious or frustrating. I enjoyed my time with Eleusis, but almost all of that came from the narrative and setting.

Vacation rentals in Italy (villas, farms, estates, agriturismo, apartments) |
> SlowTrav > Italy > Vacation Rentals > Reviews > Tuscany East Review 3687: Rentvillas, L'Ippocastano 2 Recommended
apartment on farm near Cortona, Tuscany East WhenJuly 19-26, 2008, 1 week LocationThis was a wonderful vacation rental. We were very central to all of Tuscany for making day trips, which we did. The property had so many amenities, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the grounds were furnished with wonderful outdoor furniture. There was a busy road outside the gate, but we had no problem with any noise as the walls were thick, and the shutters kept out noise. We utilized the pool and the grounds, and every bit of the property and grounds were immaculately kept. I would return, and it would be a wonderful place for a family reunion. I highly recommend this property. Nearby AmenitiesYou could walk or bike to the village for groceries, but the road outside the gates was busy. I drove to the supermarket, and it was a Coop, which was a nice large supermarket. Every evening we drove into Cortona for dinner. Our farmhouse was located at the bottom of the hill, and we drove and parked in the free parking outside the wall of Cortona. We were about four miles outside Cortona, and about two miles to the supermarket, and about one mile to the village. All of the restaurants inside Cortona were walkable once you drove and parked. The House/ApartmentThe building was in excellent shape. There were four apartments (ours was 2bed/2bath) in one building, and two apartments in another. The two apartment building was also the wash room, and check in office. There was a large swimming pool with concrete decking, and wonderful lawn furniture behind the buildings. The was quite a bit of outside space, and each apartment had a table with four chairs covered by a pergola. There was also air conditioning in each unit. It was probably one of the cleanest places in which we have ever stayed. You can view the property directly: L'Ippocastano 2. GardenBeautiful outdoor areas, pool, and sitting areas. Each unit had their own outside table, as well as chairs. At the pool all the areas were shared, but furnished with great furniture. Furnishings/Cleanliness/Living AreasCleanest place I have ever rented!! Plenty of chairs, and linens for the tables were furnished!!! The materials were very upscale. Bedrooms/BathroomsBeds were comfortable, and beautifully furnished. Brand new tiles, bathrooms, and showers. KitchenIt was a very usable kitchen and everything was included, including kitchen linens. We did have plenty of pots, pans, and dishes. The unit even had a dishwasher. The sink was just beautiful, completely out of a rough stone. Problems or BonusesThe busy road outside the gate was the only surprise, and like I said, was not a problem for sleeping as the units were very quiet. I did not feel comfortable walking or biking on that road. I was not prepared for how nice all the units were, or how nice the lawn and garden furniture was. Agency and Representatives (and price)Everything was exactly as stated. We had wonderful communication with rentvillas.com, and when we arrived at the unit, Federicka, our hostess, was charming and helpful. She was also very beautiful, and I do believe my 19 year old son had a crush!!! Federicka spoke very good English, and the prices were exactly as quoted!! I believe the beauty of the grounds for the guests had been understated. Do you recommend this vacation rental to others?I would stay here again in a minute. I would also recommend this property to my best friend, noting the busy road out front. We took day trips to Florence, Pisa, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Cortona, and Siena. You could not find a more central place, nor a more wonderful place in which to return after a long day. The busy road out front was the only concern that we had, and as I stated through this whole recommendation, the noise was not a problem, just the busy road in terms of walking. Things to do in this areaWe loved La Grotta in Cortona for dinner. It was a trattoria, very reasonably priced and delicious. There were so many beautiful sites to explore in Tuscany.

Towards airport passenger experience models
Popovic, Vesna, Kraal, Ben, & Kirk, Philip J. (2010) Towards airport passenger experience models. In Proceedings of 7th International Conference on Design & Emotion, Spertus Institute, Chicago, Illinois.
This paper reports on the study of passenger experiences and how passengers interact with services, technology and processes at an airport. As part of our research, we have followed people through the airport from check-in to security and from security to boarding. Data was collected by approaching passengers in the departures concourse of the airport and asking for their consent to be videotaped. Data was collected and coded and the analysis focused on both discretionary and process related passenger activities. Our findings show the interdependence between activities and passenger experiences. Within all activities, passengers interact with processes, domain dependent technology, services, personnel and artifacts. These levels of interaction impact on passenger experiences and are interdependent. The emerging taxonomy of activities consists of (i) ownership related activities, (ii) group activities, (iii) individual activities (such as activities at the domain interfaces) and (iv) concurrent activities. This classification is contributing to the development of descriptive models of passenger experiences and how these activities affect the facilitation and design of future airports.
