Do you know a child who deserves a trip to Lapland? FIVE SPECIAL KIDS WILL GET TO MEET FATHER CHRISTMAS ON A SUPER TRIP.
TODAY is your final chance to give the dream Christmas present of a trip to Lapland to a deserving youngster.
This is the last day we will be carrying the form - and you only have until midday on Monday to get the completed entry to us.
So you have to be quick if you haven't already made a nomination.
For the past two weeks we have been carrying forms and inviting readers to nominate a deserving child for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to meet Santa Claus in Lapland.
The Evening Telegraph, Mercia FM, the Bhandal Dental Practice and Cosmos have teamed up to give five deserving children this extra special Christmas present.
We are looking for five youngsters aged 10 or under from Coventry and Warwickshire who have touched the hearts of those who know them or have had a difficult year.
The five lucky youngsters will fly to Lapland from Birmingham on December 19.
Along with one parent or carer each they will enjoy an action-packed three nights and three days in Santa's snow-filled homeland.
While they are there they will get the chance to try out husky and reindeer sleighing, tobogganing, and snowmobiling.
They will also visit Santa's Post Office and be able to deliver their letters in person and get the chance to meet Santa himself.
So, if you know of a child aged 10 or under who has had to cope with illness, hardship or bereavement, or perhaps been a kind-hearted carer to someone, we want to hear from you.
Just put pen to paper and fill in the nomination form along with a letter of no more than 150 words about why the child should go.
All entries should be received by midday on Monday, November 29, 2004.
The competition is for children aged 10 and under on December 19, 2004.
MAGICAL: Five deserving children will get to visit Santa's Post Office on a trip to Lapland

The FBI's Super Bowl operation efforts were part of the Innocence Lost National Initiative that was established in 2003 by the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division, in partnership with the Department of Justice and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, to address the growing problem of child prostitution.
To date, the FBI and its task force partners have recovered more than 3,100 children. The investigations and subsequent 1,400 convictions have resulted in lengthy sentences, including 11 life terms and the seizure of more than $3.1 million in assets.
"Through partnerships, enhanced as a result of this operation, we hope to build a lasting framework that helps the community address this problem," said Michael Harpster, chief of the FBI's Violent Crimes Against Children Section. "It's easy to focus on this issue in light of a high-profile event, but the sad reality is, this is a problem we see every day in communities across the country."

The ancient Greeks discovered them, but it wasn't until the nineteenth century that irrational numbers were properly understood and rigorously defined, and even today not all their mysteries have been revealed. In The Irrationals, the first popular and comprehensive book on the subject, Julian Havil tells the story of irrational numbers and the mathematicians who have tackled their challenges, from antiquity to the twenty-first century. Along the way, he explains why irrational numbers are surprisingly difficult to define—and why so many questions still surround them. Fascinating and illuminating, this is a book for everyone who loves math and the history behind it.

Iron ore shipments decline during August
Iron ore shipments on the Great Lakes totaled 6.3 million tons in August, a decrease of nine percent compared with July and 3.5 percent below the level of a year ago, according to the Lake Carriers' Association. Shipments were, however, nearly 22 percent ahead of August's five-year average.
Shipments from U.S. ports totaled 5.4 million tons, a decrease of 8.2 percent compared with a year ago. Included in that total were 440,000 tons shipped to Québec City for final delivery overseas.
In the region, tonnage increased in Duluth and Silver Bay. Shipments through Duluth, at 605,000 net tons, were up from 470,000 a year ago although down from 734,000 during the five-year period. In Silver Bay, the total was 1 million net tons compared with 667,000 last August and the five-year average of 617,000. Tonnage through the Port of Superior declined, with 896,000 tons versus 1.1 million a year ago and 1.1 million for the five-year period. Traffic through Two Harbors also declined, with 1.8 million met tons compared with 2.0 million last August, but it exceeded the five-year figure of 1.4 million net tons.
Loadings at Canadian ports rose nearly 35 percent to 960,000 tons.
Through August, the iron ore trade stands at 38.5 million tons, an increase of 4.9 percent compared with a year ago, and 17.3 percent better than the 5-year average for the January-August timeframe.
Shipments from U.S. ports are up 3.1 percent compared to a year ago and 18.1 percent ahead of their 5-year average. Loadings at Canadian ports are up 20.1 percent compared to a year ago and 11.7 percent ahead of their 5-year average.

Rising Costs, New Drugs at Heart of Health Insurance Crisis
A study of health insurance costs in northern Ohio performed by the management consulting firm of Hewitt Associates shows health insurance costs on the rise at an average rate of 16% per employer. The underlying cause seems to be the rising costs of medical care, and in particular the rising costs and increased usage of prescription drugs. It is estimated that the amount Americans spend on prescription drugs has doubled in the past five years.

Sawgrass Country Club is a gated residential community in unspoilt NE Florida adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean some 20 miles from downtown Jacksonville. Our condo is open plan, light and spacious and overlooks the 1st fairway of the East 9 at Sawgrass and is furnished to a high standard in typical Floridian style. E-mail us to access further more detailed information on our condo and on the available facilities at the Country Club.
Facilities at Sawgrass: Temporary membership of the country club provides access to its extensive and luxurious amenities, which include 27 championship holes of golf, several swimming pools (one heated), 12 tennis courts and a fitness centre, which runs daily tutored sessions. The Atlantic Ocean is 5 minutes walk from the condo and is accessed through the club's private Beach Club, which also has 2 swimming pools, formal and informal dining facilities and overlooks several miles of private and mostly deserted, unspoiled beach. The facilities make for an active sporting or quite restful family holiday, or a mixture of both!
How to get to Sawgrass: Jacksonville has its own airport and is an easy and uncomplicated 45mins drive from our Sawgrass condo. Most American carriers use this airport and many have direct UK / European flights with connections from their major US hubs to Jacksonville.
Others may find charter flights to Sanford airport (North of Orlando and our usual choice) to be a better option. Many UK & European tour operators fly direct to Sanford which is a small busy charter airport which is user friendly on arrival but has poorer departure facilities. Driving time from Sanford 2hrs and Orlando international 2.75hrs.
We will happily e-mail you a map(s) of the locality at your request (please, do not hesitate to contact us for more details).
Sawgrass (home of the Tournement Players Golf Championship) is on the Atlantic coast 30 mins from downtown Jacksonville and 40 mins from the International airport. Visit Sawgrass country club web site for further info.
Golf: Sawgrass, home of the Tournament Players Club (TPC), is a golfer's paradise. There are over 60 public, resort and private courses in the Jacksonville area. Play on the Country Club's own private courses (site of the original Players Championship) – there are 27 challenging championship holes that will push the best. If this does not challenge then access can be obtained to the TPC's own stadium and valley courses – try the famous island hole!

MALS July 2011 Seminar: African Art and the Environment
The MALS July 2011 Seminar topic was also the subject of an exhibition on display in the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore from February 5th to July 31st, 2011. The curator of that exhibit was also the seminar instructor, Professor Lisa Aronson. Professor Aronson taught the seminar in the Tang Museum where students had daily opportunities to interact with the art and the museum space itself.
Because Professor Aronson is both the academic voice of the exhibit and its curator, seminar students had a chance to learn about the curatorial process as well as engage with a moving set of issues surrounding Africa and environmental sustainability.
One of the artists highlighted in the exhibit was also on campus during the seminar. Professor Susan Vogel's film "Fold, Crumple, Crush: The Art of El Anatsui" was screened during the seminar, followed by an open discussion with students about her experience curating the art that the film highlights.
The Student Experience
"This has been a distinguished experience - not just intellectually stimulating but emotionally engaging at a visceral level..."
"This is without a doubt one of the better courses I have taken, mostly because of Lisa Aronson. She was incredibly knowledgeable, but very laid back and approachable."
"The face to face interaction and exchange is the most enlightening and exhilarating aspect and far exceeds other graduate courses."
From the Professor
"To be honest, I cannot remember teaching a class that was as stimulating and insightful as this one. I loved having the opportunity to build on the ideas associated with my Environment and Object exhibition at the Tang, and the students seemed to appreciate and learn from it as well."

Since noon yesterday, the team of around 15 people has monitored a flood of concepts from Facebook and Twitter users who submitted ideas for a new take on the beloved cream-filled cookie.
It was about an hour before they would announce the winning idea marking the culmination of an iconic 100-day social media campaign celebrating 100 years of an iconic cookie treat. The Oreo marketing team, along with execs from supporting agencies Draft FCB, 360i, and Weber Shandwick were clustered in close quarters in the heart of rainy Times Square, New York, sandwiched between Broadway and 7th Avenue. Onlookers hovered under umbrellas wondering what the sign that proclaimed "Advertising Campaign in Progress" meant exactly.
It meant just that. Since noon yesterday, the team of around 15 people has monitored a flood of concepts from Facebook and Twitter users who submitted ideas for a new take on the beloved cream-filled cookie.
"It's the last day of Daily Twist and we're putting the call out to all our fans! Click here - http://oreo.ly/TwistIdea - to private message us your topic for the last Twist. It could be featured on a billboard in Times Square!" noted the brand this morning on the Oreo Facebook page.
By 9 a.m. this morning, creatives began sketching out what the semi-final concepts might look like in real life. They worked amid reminders of the campaign's previous successes. In the corner were the actual versions of earlier Oreo iterations, encased in plexiglass. A vanilla Oreo became a burger-like treat, filled with beef brown, lettuce green, and tomato red layers of icing; the cookie had commemorated Labor Day. Alongside, a fin-shaped Oreo was perched in a glass full of faux-milk.
The campaign even inspired some people to show their appreciation for the brand in-person. Before the rain came two women stopped by Daily Twist HQ dressed in Oreo Hats, with Oreos glued to their outfits, said Danielle Brown, Oreo's senior associate brand manager, who spoke with ClickZ from the temporary Oreo Daily Twist office in Times Square.
"It's pretty pheonmenal to see the brand-love in person," she said.
The finalists for voting today: "Anniversary of First High Five," "The Twilight Zone Premiered," and "Warp Drive Deemed Feasible." In keeping with previous daily versions, the goal for Oreo is to create something that reflects what is trending that day, according to Brown. The splashy Daily Twist culmination is "a really good punctuation for the campaign," she said.
Some fans showed their love on Twitter, posting their votes using hashtags #DailyTwist1, #DailyTwist2, and #DailyTwist3.
@oreo : #dailytwist1 First High Five! Wish I was in New York to see the final reveal but good luck!— Kristin Martino (@kristinomartino) October 2, 2012
Around 2:45 p.m., the high-five Oreo concept was the clear leader with 137 votes on Facebook. According to Brown (team photo, center), the first Daily Twist on June 25 - a multi-layered Oreo, each layer a color of the rainbow - is to this day the most-shared. The Gay Pride Oreo was presented the day after San Francisco's Gay Pride Parade in June. Brown said it wasn't preconceived, noting "We were reacting to what was going on" in social media.
Though the Daily Twist ends today, said Brown, "We're thinking about what's the next generation of a real-time campaign."

We get lots of emails, especially about our articles on cutting. Sometimes people tell us about the feelings and emotions that surround cutting. Others share their ideas on how they stopped. We decided to put some of these suggestions and comments on our site.
Of course, the reasons why people cut are very different. So the comments below may help some people but not others.
When readers email us, it's through a secure system that doesn't record names or other personal information. That's why you don't see any personal details here — just experiences and a desire to help from the people who've been there.

Sounds good, looking forward to trying this one.
Thread: Guerlain Homme L'eau Boisee
L'Eau Boisee is what the regular Guerlain Homme had to be from its first appearance. They added in the original minty lime formula a handful of pepper from MJ Bang and earthy woodiness of Terre d'Hermes. So in the dry down we get a dryer version of Terre d'Hermes, or something similar to last year's masterpiece David Beckham Homme, but with a mochito background. Surely this one is the best Guerlain release by Thierry Wasser. The longevity is brilliant.

Thank you for generating interest in this new Guerlain. Must keep an eye out to try this.

Is it available yet?
I love the entire Guerlain Homme line.
Just been chasing around, researching this one - as it sounds so tempting. Apparently, it'll be available in the UK from Feb 5th. (Not sure where from, but I do know that Debenhams stock a good range of Guerlain products).
Price is £46 for 80ml.
(Info from www.thegroomingguide.com).
Sounds quite interesting.
Sounds good. I'll check at the local boutique.
It has better longevity and sillage than the regular homme?
What's the bottle look like?

A Guerlan Homme loaded with Iso-E ? I'm not expecting alot. The original was much better after they toned down the sugar cane, the L'Eau is decent if too transparent...have yet to try the Intense. (if anyone wants to trade a decant of the intense, PM me).
Overall, I really like the concept and notes used in the line, so this is a must test.

This was the one that was supposed to be a modern chypre that utilized vetiver in place of oakmoss, right?
Re: Beckham Homme, I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it is a very fine modern scent. A cross between TdH and Bvlgari Man.

Here's my 2 cents, after a first wearing. Caveat: I conservatively gave this 4 sprays only as I wasn't sure what to expect (normally I give Homme and flankers 6+).
This is basically Guerlain Homme L'Eau with better longevity and a bit more interest, acheived primarily (I suspect) through the addition of iso-e super as suggested above. I've been wearing it for 8 hours and can still smell it, although it is now at skin scent level. On first application, there is a noticeable pepperiness, which I thought clashed with the citrus. Fear not, within 30 mins, this has calmed down to a background luminosity which reminds me of TdH somewhat, but lacking the mineral quality of that scent. It's a subdued peppery/grassy vetiver, pleasant, but not of the magnitude that would appeal to vetiver addicts.
The citrus is the same as that of Homme L'Eau; grapefruit predominantly, with the mojito accord detectable for at least the first 4 hours.
Boisee? Not really - there is less wood in this than in Guerlain Homme Intense, for example, although vetiver's classification as a woody note allows a get-out.
After 8 hours, the grapefruit is still detectable, along with the IES.
I can see this a being a good summer staple. It is also a very safe, clean scent suitable for the office. No, it is not a challenging wear, nor is it a new classic. But if you like Guerlain Homme (and especially Homme L'Eau) then chances are you will like this.

This is a lovely fragrance, I prefer it to the original homme, the homme is kind of indifferent, it doesn't really stand out. If you like Terre D'Hermes, then you'll like this, it shares some notes with Terre D'Hermes but it's not the same, but quite similar, its cheaper too. This is the only Guerlain fragrance that I would actually buy. I think it's quite woody and fresh. In fact IMO I think it shares some qualities with he wood by Dsquared2
I don't know why but I'm really really excited for this. Anyone know when it's going to be released in the US?

Yes, was going to ask the same thing......when will it be available in the US. I googled, but found nothing.
I tried this yesterday in Dublin. As some have already said, it's exactly the same as the l'eau, but with a huge dose of Iso-E in it. the first 30 minutes are the l'eau, after that all I can smell is the Iso-E.
I definitely won't be purchasing.
Anyone know if this is coming to the US? It's not even listed on Guerlain's website yet, but looks like it's already been released all over the UK.
Let me see...The Bay has had the new Homme Boisee on the shelves for over a week now but NO testers and NO samples.
Reminds me of when Halston launched its men's fragrance a couple of years ago. No testers or samples for weeks. Marketing brilliance.

Scelga di credere, scelga la gioia.
Tried it today. Nice enough, but common smelling, with similarities to a weaker peppery version of Terre d'Hermes in the drydown. Nice limey top-notes, but they don't last long. Nicer bottle than Homme or Homme Intense, but, in my view, not as good as either of them. I tried it alongside the Intense version. My vote definitely goes to the Intense.

I emailed Guerlain to find out if and when this is being released in the states. I am waiting to hear back from them.
I was in the Guerlain flagship store in The Hague today and the SA told me they would have it in store by the end of the month.
Bummer: I expected it would be there already.
I just heard back from Guerlain. This fragrance is not being released in the US at all. Here's their email reply:
"Dear Sir,
I acknowledge receipt of your mail from 2/19/2012 and I thank you for sending it.
I regret to inform you that Guerlain Homme L'eau Boisee will not be launched in the US market.

"Christian Dior / You wasted your life
On aroma and clothes / Fabric and dyes." Christian Dior - Morrissey
The first hour is almost identical to the first hour of L'eau. Mentholated citrus/grapefruit is what you get. Then, a subtle at first and then stronger note of earthy vetiver kicks in nicely, which gives L'eau Boisee the strength and consistence that was lacking the L'eau version. the transition is smooth and pleasant, and this is basically where the scent settles for the next 4 hours.
contrary to what others have said on various threads here, I think the citrus/grapefruit notes never completely disappear after the vetiver enters the scene, which I like.
All in all this is not bad. it really improves on the L'eau version. Bottle worthy? For me yes, but maybe not for those who already own the L'eau version, as it is still pretty redundant of that one. However, keep in mind this is not a masterpiece by any stretch, just a good lovely spring/summer scent, and admittedly better than most of the competition.
The l'Eau Boisee version was a huge disappointment for me - it is overloaded with ISO E Super and smells even more generic than the original. Why is it that suddenly it's virtually impossible to find any frag with vetiver, pepper, cedar or sandalwood notes without a ginormous helping of this aggressive additive? I understand that it costs almost nothing and helps the bottom line but I dammit - am so tired of smelling it in almost every new scent.
The original Homme wasn't very distinguished, but at least it had a small saving grace of the yummy mojito accord (albeit, short-lived) in the opening. Now that theme is almost completely drowned in ISO E Super in the Boisee. Sad to see such a great house stooping down to the lowest common denominator. I wonder what Mr Wasser was thinking? "I know, let's capitalize on the success of Homme, but make the new flanker smell just like every other nostrils-tingling scratchy ISO E Super laden men's fragrance so it won't scare the undiscriminating customer away with anything resembling quality ingredients, style or originality!"
Sorry but I have to disagree here. The vetiver note in L'eau boisee is very nice, grassy/earthy, certainly not scratchy. I don't think it screams Iso E Super either, even though there might be Iso E in the fragrance.
I started another thread on this one last week:
But I'm sure most of you have read it, its had over 300 views.
And to answer Dullah... no sugar cane in GHLB, exactly as you experienced in the first L'Eau. Not sweet, its zesty/boozy/grassy/smoky. The Mint, Lime and Rum are identifiable, I agree with you that they were not so much in the first L'eau, and they stick around about as long as they do in original Guerlain Homme. Also I'm not sure where the impression of Grapefruit is coming from for some people, I don't get that personally. The citrus is less bitter in GHLB, so my impression is it is just Lime.
L'eau Boisee is currently not available on this side of the pond. A friends who was in Paris brought a bottle back for me. What a delight. A very wearable scent, and the vetiver is just right. As with all citrus, the lime fades quickly. A nice scent to wear during the warmer months, and not overpowering, so it is a spot on office scent.
I just bought my bottle, and while i like it while it lasts, it turns to a skin scent later during the day. The vertiver here is magical, almost like the one found in encre noire but softened with nuances of rum and citrus. the rum-lime thing in the topnotes is very close to the actual mojito accord.
this scent doesnt really project well, though. I prefer this to GH or GHI, or l'eau mainly because i like my fresh scents to be fresh all the way and not go to a sweet, powdery thing afterwards. l'eau met what i wanted, but the lack of an anchoring basenote meant that it was not interesting enough for me. The vetiver was perfect, but the longevity and projection is disappointing. White musk is listed as the base note...did anyone get that?
seeking mitsouko 50ml's cap....desperately!!
I bought this earlier in the year from an online UK fragrance site that was willing to ship to the US. It's a great fragrance. It's similar to L'Eau, but with a strong vetiver note and a dry, woody base.
the other disappointing part about this scent is that it dissappears in 1-2 hours and you need 6-10 sprays to get it to last the whole day.
seeking mitsouko 50ml's cap....desperately!!
I have very dry skin, and I usually have longevity issues, not to mention sillage issues. Having said that, L'eau Boisee seems to last minimum of 6 hours on me. I can still smell it as a skin scent a good 12 hours after application. I do have to apply somewhat liberally due to my dry skin, but nothing extreme (no more than 6 sprays). I would say it's probably longer lasting and more potent than the original Guerlain Homme.
As far as the vibe I get from this fragrance, it's like Guerlain Homme L'eau meets Terre d'Hermes (with lime instead of orange). It's a very nice fragrance, I highly recommend it. For those that live in the US, there are several online UK fragrance stores that will ship here. Price and shipping are reasonable. You just have to shop around a bit.
I have tested it but ony my skin it is just horrible. it wasnt designed to me
Arent you a little short for a stormtrooper?
I tried this yesterday for the 1st time and actually found the vetiver drydown very satisfying. I hated the original GH.

New Albany tennis is no stranger to success, playing this season as the defending state champions in 4A. Despite several key losses from last year, the Bulldogs captured their fourth straight division championship, defeating Pontotoc, 5-2, last Thursday.
"It was a tough match, and this has been a challenging season for us so far," NAHS Head Coach Warner Creekmore said. "We suffered a couple tough losses earlier this season, but we battled and pulled out a close win against a good Pontotoc team."
New Albany won both of their girls double matches with Elleigh Hall and Maegan Trexler defeating Ivy Robbins and Frankie Turner, 4-6, 6-4 (10-5) and Hannah Anderson and Olivia Dunnam defeating Haylee Walker and Anna Chrestman, 6-4, 6-1. Thomas Mills won boys singles, defeating Jacob Ferguson, 7-6, 4-6 (10-8) and the 'Dawgs split in boys doubles with Mark Robbins and Hunter Surles winning 6-4, 6-2 over Jacob Hatcher and Deaton McAuley.
The Bulldogs sealed the match with a win in mixed doubles as Adam Coombs and Whitney Littlejohn defeated Piercen Burtchfield and Anna Wing, 4-6, 6-4 (10-7).
"It was a nail biter, as we had three courts go to a tiebreaker. It could have gone either way, but I credit our team for fighting hard picking up the win," Creekmore said.
New Albany (7-3) is now working toward the playoffs, but Creekmore is not looking ahead, knowing the Bulldogs will have to continue to battle.
"We're taking it one match at a time, and that's all you can do. Given the number of seniors we lost from last year, we're excited to have won the division and look forward to the competition in the playoffs."
Individual playoffs being one week from today, April 20, in Pontotoc.

Product description
Despite the popular and scholarly association of J.R.R. Tolkien with the natural world and literary world-building, Middle-earth as a landscape and a built environment has been relatively neglected as the background, the foreground, and the actor in his texts. This study presents new work by some of the finest scholars in Tolkien studies, as well as research from a number of emerging scholars, addressing this lacuna. The permeable interface between nature and culture, creation and sub-creation, within Tolkien's world is of absolute importance to our understanding of Tolkien's larger point in writing. From deforestation to the shape of a window, from Sam's cooking gear to the origins of the party tree, this book surveys a world written to distill and intensify the realities of our own. Presented in a clear, approachable style, and drawing on a wide variety of critical approaches, from philology to eco-criticism, this collection explores the interaction of culture and nature that imbues J.R.R. Tolkien's secondary world with the immediacy of our own. Contents include: forests as places of transformation in The Lord of the Rings * fractures, corruption, and decay: understanding speculative cities through imagery of Minas Tirith, Minas Morgul, and Metropolis * Tolkien's use of riddles in The Hobbit * cultural materialism and the reverse discourse of the wild in Tolkien's The Hobbit * Goths and Romans in Tolkien's imagination * empire, deforestation, and the fall of Numenor * an introduction to the etiquette of Middle-earth * inscribing tragedy on the landscape of Middle-earth in The Children of Hurin * the forest and the city: the dichotomy of Tolkien's Istari * 'raw forest' versus 'cooked city': Levi-Strauss in Middle-earth * Hobbits and the Arts and Crafts Movement * the forests and trees: Sal and Ian in Faerie * the party tree and its roots in the Spanish Civil War * Tolkien and Dante's Earthly Paradise: enculturing nature * the tower and the ruin: the past in J.R.R. Tolkien's works. [Subject: Literary Criticism, Mythology]

Due — Reminders, Countdown Timers
By Due Apps LLP
Open the Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
Type "Make dinner reservation at 9am tomorrow" and your reminder is set for 9 AM tomorrow.
"Cancel subscription in 1 month" and you get a buzz a month later.
Just tell Due in your own words what you'd like to do, and when you'd like to be reminded.*
There are no awkward date pickers to fight with, nor rigid date and time format to follow.
Your reminder is set as soon as you're done typing.
Due makes sure things actually get done by keeping you on your toes, sending you periodic reminders until you actually mark the reminders complete.
The super-fast reminder app on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch—now on your Mac.
* Natural date and time parsing available for non-recurring reminders only.
- Fast. Really fast.
Reminders are set as soon as you finish typing what to do, and when to do it.
- Natural date and time parsing
No awkward date pickers nor rigid date and time format to follow. Set due date and time by typing what is natural to you.*
"4pm" works just as fine as "4:00 PM" or "16:00", and "Aug 22" works as well as "22 August" or "8/22". Relative dates like "in 20 mins" or "in 6 months" work too.
Some examples:
- "Collect passport next Monday 4pm"
- "Make dinner reservation at 14:00 tomorrow"
- "Cancel subscription in 1 month"
- "Wish Sally happy birthday on Aug 22 at 8 AM"
- "Phone contract expires May 30 2014"
- Never miss any reminders with Auto snooze
Due repeatedly notifies you of missed reminders until they are marked done or rescheduled, making sure things get done and your list never go stale.
- Fully optimized for keyboard-only operation
Power users can skip the mouse and trackpad. Show or hide Due, create reminders, reschedule them, mark them complete, delete them. Everything you need is a keyboard shortcut away.
- Reusable countdown timers
Precise to the second, they are perfect for timing your coffee, tea and eggs. Set them up once and reuse them forever.
- Powerful recurring reminders
Vitamins before bed each night? Pay rent every 2 weeks on Monday? Submit a report on the last weekday of the month? Yup.
- Keep reminders in sync across your Mac, iPhone and iPad
Due supports sync through iCloud or Dropbox. Create a reminder on your Mac and it will be there on your iPhone and iPad.**
**Sync on iOS requires Due for iOS (sold separately). With Due for iOS 2.0, your iPhone and iPad can sync in the background using Dropbox. Otherwise, Due must be launched for sync to take place.
- Search and Create
Search your reminders and timers. And if you don't find what you want, press Return to create a reminder with your search term.
- Drag and drop to create reminders
Create reminders by dragging emails, calendar events, text, links and more to Due.
- Share reminders with drag and drop, or copy and paste
Send your friend a reminder via Mail, Messages or Twitter by dragging or copying it. It even comes with a link so that he can add that reminder to his own copy of Due.
- Optional Menu Bar, dockless operation
Run Due directly from your menu bar, badge it with unattended alerts, and take Due off your Dock if you like.
- Assignable alert sounds
Assign distinctive alert sound for each reminder; louder and longer ones for important reminders, and subtler ones for less critical reminders.
- Undo and Redo
- Take control of your notifications
Customize how notifications behave—whether they display a notification, play a sound, bounces the icon or highlights the icon in the menu bar—when reminders and timers become due.
If you're on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, you can choose between Notification Center or Growl. If you have Growl installed (sold separately), you can also customize how notifications look with themes.
Requires Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks or later.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com, or choose Help > Send Feedback… from Due. Follow us on Twitter @dueapp.
What's New in Version 1.3
Updated to support various new features from Due 2.0 on iOS, including:
- 45 new alert tones from Due 2.0 on iOS
- Pause and resume timers
- Choose different alert sound for different timers
- New DIN font for timers
- Improved search
- Deprecation of 'Alarm mode' for timers in favour of two separate functions: 'Snooze until stopped' and custom alert sound
Optimized for OS X 10.10 Yosemite
- Menu bar icon supports Yosemite dark menu bar
- Fixes bug in menu bar icon where number of notifications gets clipped
- Fixes bug where users who've switched off NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled explicitly find themselves unable to create or edit reminder or timers (much thanks to Bernard Schembri for reporting the bug and discovering the cause)
Now requires OS X 10.9 or later
Customer Reviews
Great cross-platform qiuck to-do app
Due is a great little app that works across MacOSX and iOS. It keeps its data centrally on iCloud or Dropbox, so create a to do item and it's immediately availabe across all your Apple devices. It's not intended to be an all-singing GTD app like OmniFocus (which I also use). Tasks that go in Due are ones that I don't want to see in my calendar, and aren't 'important', project-oriented ones that would go into OmniFocus. Its competition are smaller apps like Clear, which is generally easy to use, but is missing the ability to easily, in a single action, postpone tasks as they come due. You can customize 4 quick-access default times of day, and default postponement times. While the Mac app is still at version 1 while the iOS version is at 2, they have been, so far, fully compatible and similarly easy to use across platforms.
Thanks to John Gruber for the initial recommendation to check this app out. Big win.
Sync not as reliable as others; Not even close to iOS version…
I'm an avid user of Due on iOS and love it; the new UI is phenomenal. So I decided (was forced) to buy Due on OSX just to get sync to work (because, unlike all other reminder apps, Due doesn't support sync with iOS reminders). The sync via dropbox from OSX is not reliable, which basically defeats the purpose of purchasing this app.
Needs better sync, needs UI update for Yosemite, needs to be compatible with iOS reminders.
Sync issues
I love the iOS version and use it all the time, but I'm often on my Mac so I got this version. However, I found it ususable because of the sync issues - tasks I create rarely sync properly so I'm left with two list with many discrepancies between them across devices, which is a pretty fundamental drawback. I am unable to use this until the sync issues are resolved.

GM to Offer Public Test Drive of its Hydrogen Cars
General Motors (GM) has announced a new initiative that plans to put consumers in the driver's seat of more than 100 fuel-cell vehicles before the end of the year.
Dubbed "Project Driveway", the project will focus on celebrities, policymakers, the military and other "influentials", but the public is also free to sign up online.
"We're going to get feedback from customers to help us understand this market, and that's going to help set us up, hopefully early in the next decade, to really go to market for real with fuel-cell electric vehicles," said Larry Burns, vice president of research and development and strategic planning for GM.
Based on the Chevrolet Equinox SUV, the vehicles will be tested in the US, Germany, South Korea, China and Japan. Each country was chosen because they already have the necessary refueling facilities in place.
Participants will be chosen based on their location in relation to refueling facilities.
The hydrogen is fed into a fuel cell onboard the vehicle to produce electricity, which powers an electric motor connected to the front wheels.
The exhaust is water vapor, which is vented through slots in the rear bumper rather than a conventional exhaust pipe.
"The car of the future will have a modular approach to the drivetrain," said Derek Charters from the British motor industry consultants Mira.
"The car will be able to be fitted with a number of power units. At the stage of buying the car, you will define your requirements by your lifestyle.
"You'll go into a dealership and tell them what you want to do, and they will then recommend what type of drivetrain to put in."
Currently, hybrid cars generate electricity using the engine or during braking by using the motor as a generator.
In the future we are likely to see cars with much higher capacity batteries, so they can be plugged in at home overnight.
"I think you're going see two or three companies introducing the plug-in hybrid by 2010," said Joseph Romm of the Center for American Progress and previously responsible for clean transportation programs at the US Department of Energy.
"You take a hybrid, and you put on it a battery capable of taking an electric charge from the grid, and running for maybe 20 to 40 miles in all-electric mode before reverting to be a gasoline-powered vehicle – because most people don't travel more than 20 or 25 miles a day, and even less so in Europe than the United States.
"The opportunity is you could run most of the time on electricity, and only use gasoline on longer trips," he said.
"These cars, like all early model cars, will probably be on the expensive side, but I think there will be a great interest in them."

Myanmar exiles urge US to seek more reforms
WASHINGTON The European Union's suspension of economic sanctions against Myanmar has riled exiled activists, who are urging the United States to press for further reforms by the dominant military before following suit.
The activists' opposition has exposed differences with democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose cause they have championed for more than two decades, which helped drive the sanctions in the first place.
Suu Kyi endorsed the EU move during a visit by British Prime Minister David Cameron to Yangon this month, but the activists are skeptical that sanctions could be re-imposed if Myanmar, also known as Burma, should backslide on the reforms. They say despite Suu Kyi winning a seat in parliament and the government reaching cease-fires with several ethnic armed insurgencies, the changes have yet to affect the lives of most citizens and rampant rights abuses continue.
"The EU has suspended sanctions knowing that its own benchmarks on Burma have not been met: the unconditional release of all political prisoners and a cessation of attacks against ethnic minorities," Soe Aung of the Forum for Democracy in Burma said by e-mail from Thailand. He accused the bloc of rushing to reward "murky reforms."
"It's illogical and a little hypocritical," Aung said.
While the influence of Myanmar activists who escaped the country in the years following a 1988 crackdown on democracy protesters is waning as the country opens up, they remain players in the debate. Last week, a group of them were lobbying opinion-makers in Washington, including at the State Department and the World Bank.
They say foreign investment before rule of law is established in the impoverished country would do more harm than good and benefit only the military and its cronies, who dominate the most lucrative sectors of the economy, such as timber, gemstones, oil and gas. Most of those resources are in, and need to be transported through, remote, ethnic-minority regions where hundreds of thousands of villagers have been displaced by fighting and where military abuses have been worst.
The Obama administration has taken those concerns on board. While the U.S. has led the charge in engaging Myanmar, it is moving more slowly than the EU in lifting sanctions. It is upgrading diplomatic ties and plans to allow U.S. investment in some sectors, but only in areas it judges would benefit the broader population.
Congressional committees that oversee U.S. policy toward Asia will take up the issue this week, hearing testimony by senior officials from the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Treasury Department.
Khin Ohmar, coordinator of Burma Partnership, a coalition of pro-democracy activists based in several Asian countries, said despite relaxation of restrictions on media and peaceful protests in Myanmar, the military still can act with impunity.
"People talk about President Thein Sein being reform-minded. That may be true. There's always been reform-minded people, even under the repressive system. But what we need in Burma is institutional changes, not changes based on personalities," she said in Washington.
She said the litmus test of political reform would be 2015 national elections, when the military's control of parliament will be challenged. Even after winning 43 of the 45 seats contested in recent special elections, Suu Kyi's party still controls fewer than 7 percent of the seats, and refused to take them up when parliament convened Monday due to a dispute over a single word in the oath of office - a sign of the formidable hurdles that remain in political reconciliation.

Photos: Tom Casino/SHOWTIME-- Ricardo Torres and Kendall Holt each weighed in at 139 pounds during Fridays weigh-in. Lamont Peterson and Rogelio Castaneda each tipped the scales at 141 pounds. Ten months after a wildly controversial ending to their first fight, Ricardo Torres will defend his World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior welterweight title against No. 2 contender Kendall Holt in a rematch on a special edition of ShoBox: The New Generation on Saturday, July 5, 2008, live on SHOWTIME at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast).
In the 10-round junior welterweight co-feature, undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA)/WBO No. 5 140-pound contender Lamont Peterson (24-0, 11 KOs) will put his undefeated record on the line against former International Boxing Association champion Rogelio Castaneda. Top Rank will promote both contests from the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nev..
Torres (32-1, 28 KOs), who will defend his WBO crown for a third time, rallied to score a hotly debated 11th-round TKO over Holt (23-2, 12 KOs) on Sept. 1, 2007, in the champions hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia.

For my birthday a couple months ago, I went to a farm-to-table restaurant that served a dish called "Pulled pig face." More recently, I found myself reading an article touting the sustainable virtues of hunting, and the hunter's philosophy of respecting the animal. I'm as much of a fan of The Omnivore's Dilemma as anyone, but there is some comedic disconnect in how we talk about caring for the animals we find so delicious -- i.e., if you really respect your dog, you probably won't eat its face. Just saying.

Spartan Camp #221 - 50 gestures + Optional "Free Choice Anatomical Feature Study"
Spartan Camp #221 - 50 gestures + Optional "Free Choice Anatomical Feature Study"
The aim is to produce 50 gestures by Sunday the 29nd of April.
- The gestures can be of anything, human, animal, cavorting capybaras.... You can draw full figures, but you can also go for heads, arms, eyes, or anything specific. All media can be used, both digital or traditional. Coloured or black/white. Quick scribbles or long studies. Imagination or referenced. Clothed or nude. Specifics are up to you!
- In addition to this, participants can choose to do an Optional "Free Choice Anatomical Feature Study", in any medium.
Additional notes on this weeks Optional Study:
The Background:
Most likely, we have our weaknesses when it comes to gesture drawing. Perhaps its the knees that are always troubling you. Or those ears keep looking funny. Or you just can't figure out how that shoulder works. This week its time to face this problem!
The Exercise:
Pick a single anatomical feature that's giving you trouble and do a detailed anatomical study. For the sake of this optional study, take "anatomical feature" with a grain of salt. It could be a facial feature, a certain muscle, any appendage, joint, or anything you have trouble with. This could be your chance to improve something critical, and receive critique on something you need specifically!
Next weeks' optional study:
Figure Balance Study
As always- reference advised, not obligatory. Colour, medium, time frame, any specifics are up to you! Good luck and have fun! And feel free to ask questions!
50 poses is a challenge, but don't hurry or stress yourself reaching it! Focus on drawing, as practising is the main goal of this exercise.
Criticizing each other is highly encouraged!! Share constructive criticism, reference images and resources!! Let's help each other get better!
Come on soldiers! Flex those muscles!!

@Anthis (from previous SC) Yeah, i'm using references, just to get a feel for proportions and variety. I'm not exactly timing myself just doing the drawing until it reads similar to the ref. I use Thesartorialist.com for all the refs. Great site ref courtesy of Matt Kohr @Ctrlpaint.com for finding it.
You are right though, I should be adding faces to them, but i get scared I also tend to forget. Well ill try to add more from here on out. These gestures im posting today were done before I read your crit so they are still faceless drones .

@AdrianNagorski I think your work is a bit narrow. Its the opposite of mine. i tend to make my drawings wider than they actually are, but I think yours feel narrower than they should be- especially apparent in the Hogarth study.
Drawing in Bridgeman's style feels weird. It sort of feels natural but at the same time unnatural. Sadly my attempts look alot flatter than his.
The torso study is elongated but it seemed correct when I compared it to the source. Though I do "know' its too long to be anatomically correct -.-'

Thanks guys for feedback.
Anthis: I have no troubles with posting now, I am debtor of you (hope this sentence makes sense ) You are totally right about my poses. I have to play with it and use more shorter lines instead long ones. I haven't been posting anything in SC because I have been more focused on heads and I've been building my own SB. Poses are very important and I need to learn it, but it seems to be very hard. If you learnt it I can do it too.
Here are some poses I did in last 2 days. All of them are 60 seconds.
Aghhh I need to start heavily commenting on CA because I am neglecting it. Some friends, heavily feedback and hard work is what I need right now. It's hard to operate on 2 forums at the same time.

@AdrianNagorski hehe maybe I'm being to hard on myself, its just hard to see your own work in the light others would. In regards to paper, its actually cheap ass paper. Cost like $1 for 50 or something. It looks nice when scanned I admit but its not actually very nice to draw on. The texture is in lines so the pencil slides down the texture a bit oddly.
@Blu-01 Don't be dissuaded by the difficulty of the figure. You'll spend a life-time trying to perfect it and even then you'll learn more every time you draw a new figure. Still I think its the staple to all drawing. Drawing the figure well bleeds into all aspects of art.
@Syle I'm not sure how long you took on each one of the gestures, but like i've said to many before, don't burn into gestures too much. 50x 60 sec is 50 minutes ofc and is just enough to "warm up" some would even suggest just doing less. Remember to do an extended study after short gestures otherwise it doesn't really serve a purpose. Gestures lead into further, more elaborate drawing and as I've learned from my own hours spent on hundreds of quick gestures, shouldn't be an end in-and-of itself. In regards to the gestures themselves though, I think you should refrain from scribbly shading. Take 5 secs and just do a single directional hatching indicating line and dark. It looks cleaner and clearer. That or use the side of the pencil.
Gestures so far = 22.
These fashion gestures have faces! Some looking creepy as shit and giving me nightmares but faces nonetheless . Not all are referenced some are from imagination but I won't say which, in hopes they can't be picked out from the referenced ones.
Also more Bridgeman- going through the book page by page.

sadly i think thats all me has time for this week . .. . wish i could stop time!!!!
Little-Maiden: okey, i bought 500 pages of copying paper for around 5 bucks Australian, i use that, i just asked because it
looked really textured in one photo. also in regards to how we see our own work it will always look like crap to us for some reason
other see our work and marvel, and i can never understand why, on occasion you are blow away by something you draw which is rare but
happens, spend ages steering at some of my secret sketches LOL i guess its part of being an artist.

boy! I needed this. So the sketches in mostly chronological order, and you can see how horrible some of the initial ones were. I was doing ten sketches a day, trying to keep them under 2 minutes, but frequently went over that. And I feel a lot better after a few days of this!
Used quickposes.com for many but they all seem to have an assortment of roughly the same damn poses and body types? meh.

Been very busy with stuff that's not art related and already noticing I'm losing my touch. Shaping up. Next week I hope.
First 5 scans are from Quickposes. Some timed, some not. Couple with ballpoint pen too.
Last 4 scans imagination.

There we go. Critique!
At the moment its getting late at night and its Queensday in the Netherlands tomorrow, so the new thread may be a couple hours late.
Little-Maiden; I've used that site before, great resource. Wish their pictures were bigger though. The absence of faces is something I'm noticing with my own drawings. I realize gesture drawing isn't about details, but if you're doing longer figures... You raise an interesting point with regard to the torso. A referenced body will often deviate from the "norm" or even look slightly out of proportion. In this case it might be the pelvis. Could be wider, considering the length? Can be difficult to locate a proportional error since... well... its related to all other body parts. But doing good! Love the solidity of your Bridgmans.
AdrianNagorski; I'm completely with you on the opinions of others as compared to your own. Guessing it comes natural with drawing? But some people do have it more than others. I can't seem to like my own work. It's a problem worth thinking about.
Nice job on this mixture of gestures and studies. I like how you're going for hands and knees. Tough subjects, but satisfying when you pull it off. Is that Hogarth, by the way? Never studied that myself but it looks familiar.
blu01; Yea, having a sketchbook around here is a great thing. I would't advice anyone just to do anatomy/gesture drawings, I think it's good to do a variety of things. In general, I'd never stop anyone from experimenting.
Your first referenced gestures are somewhat like contour drawings. After you did Loomis, I'm starting to see more shape. Or perhaps I'm just imagining things. Either way, they look good. Did you notice how Loomis' figures have these 'curves' in the legs? They attach almost to the side of the pelvis, and then move inward as they go down. It was an important observation for me.
Syle; Looking nice! Again, feel free to attach larger images. Even the numbers are not easy to read. It's not like we lack the space! Perhaps it took a bit of a warmup-time, but those last couple are really nice. Full of energy. Number 18 has a great torso. Not sure if you used ref there, but its a great shape regardless. Number 50 has a leg, and 33 two legs with pretty good foreshortening. You've got some pretty good things going on there. Would be interesting to focus on a longer pose for a change! Test how far you've gotten. I enjoy all these imaginary poses, great work!
zy; Good point zy. It invites and enables critique.
MartinC; Quite a lot of work there! Pretty solid silhouettes. These are surprisingly economical, with only a few lines giving you the entire gesture. I'm trying to find something similar with pencil, but it's not working so far. Digital seems useful for that. Nice and clean linework, digital seems to be working fine for you! Any reference on the noses or are they self constructed? I'm noticing most appear to be male noses while the mouths are more female. Either way, solid studies. Thought I saw some small heads in the gestures, but seeing the head studies themselves makes be believe it happens only rarely.
SamitaChatterjee; Hi and welcome! Yea, there tends to be a warmup-time.. happens often. Some really quick and really loose drawings can help with that. It's true the gesture drawing tool give you the same gestures every now and then, which can be a problem if you're working with a timer. If you don't like this one, there's several alternatives though. For instance this or this. Some of these resources share their material. This one is nice too.
As for your gestures - you already seem to have some knowledge of anatomy (or very good eyes). These seem like long studies, you'll be surprised how really quick gestures can be a great exercise as well. If you do want to go for long poses, be careful with skipping the hands though!
Nice work!
Azimuth; Knees! You might need some practice there. Though I have to say, your gestures look good overall. Perhaps its more of a detail for now. Some things just stand out. For example, the man holding a hand to his head in the bottomleft of the first scan. Good work on the shoulder anatomy. Also, the clothed woman seen from the back holding her arm out (also first scan) has a great sense of form and gesture. That's very well done. You use few, but very solid lines. I like the approach. Teaches confidence. Feel free to experiment though!
Great to see a longer pose too. Some very subtle work on that arm, I think that was very successful.
Jaik; Fantastic work on those legs. First some anatomy, then exercises. To me, it always seems a bit as if the upper leg has somewhat of a curve in it. It's not a straight bar of muscle and bone. Perhaps this is because the legs more or less anchor into the side of the pelvis rather than at the bottom. And they then move 'inward'. Which you've done correctly. You've only done anatomy studies of the outer side of the leg, which may have caused some confusion. You've added the sartorius muscle in one of your first studies. The sartorius 'cuts into' the inner side of the leg, creating a very typical recess. You can see this in your last long study (standing, seen from behind). You've done this in some of your own legs, but not always. Tell me if I was a bit vague there. Doing good! very thorough studying.

Anthis: those figures are great! even if your rusty still got some fuel in that tank LOL yip it is Hogarth, i like doing those because Bridgman doesn't have a lot of figure drawings and loomis makes my head implode. I think subconsciously we always compare ourselves to our fav/coolest seen art,
even tho those same artists go thru the same trouble as us, we only see the peak work of others and all of our own mediocrity. i think.
MartinC: man your skills are epic!!
sorry guys i'm to lazy to critique, have a on me.

Thank you for the welcome, Anthis! I do have somewhat of an understanding of anatomy, I have been trying to get a hang of it for a while. It's been painful and slow, and one of the reasons, I realized, is because I stopped practicing/studying it after a short bout of intense work. So every break, I lose out on the opportunity to build on whatever I did last time.
I have been terrified of 30/60 second timers, because I did so badly at them the last time I tried. Took your advice and pushed this time. A set of 60 second drawings, and 3 that I did without timers, while trying to keep them as short as I could. I am unhappy about how much the figures lack balance and grace, but what the hey, next time! Thank you for pointing me to the resources, esp characterdesign.com, didnt know about that one.
Apologies to everyone for lack of feedback from me. I dont feel I can contribute very constructively in critiques at the moment. But it's really nice to go through the posts!

Here are some crits.
Little-Maiden: Poses look very good, I like shading of your digis and pencil stuff too. Colour give them some magic and unusal originality. Great Bridgeman's studies. I usually wonder how you can scan that with so good quality. I am loosing it, so I take photos. Do you use some special settings?
AdrianNagorski: Really don't know what to say...your poses seem to me very circular, i think you probably use rounded forms in your second post. On the other side good studies this week, especially hand and knees
Anthis: Thanks for crit. Yes I noticed Loomis's landmarks and plan to learn it. I need to draw variety of things. Maybe I can make a list of things which I need to learn and learn every day something different.
I really love your poses. How did you learn drawing them from imagination? drawing a lot and studing Loomis, I assume.
Sorry guys, for others I have nothing, I did't know what to say or Anthis said it before.
