Go into XBMC settings and choose weather. Go to the slot you want and use the keyboard to type in the name of the City, State (use the 2-letter state abbrev). It will search and give you a list. Select one off the list. THe slot will still have an incomprehensible name, but the weather will be collected for the city you specified. It would be great if XBMC: A) confirmed that the slot config had been changed, and/or B ) changed the name of the slot to match the city it had located, but this latter change only happens in the weather page after you've refreshed the slot and then it converts back if you exit.

thanks guys... i was putting to much info on the search: city, state, zip... i also found out that if you just put the zip code in the search it uses that as the label in the settings.

That's awesome. Never tried just the zip. I'll give that a shot as soon as I get home.

Black Wall in Ravenwood/Multi-color Splash in The Commons
The problems of a black "wall" just inside the entrance to Ravenwood and a multicolor "splash" in the Commons are not Wine issues: both problems have been reported by Windows users on the Wizard101 Message Board. https://www.wizard101.com/posts/list/21857.ftl.
Launcher Error
Beginning with Wine 1.5.28, GnuTLS is used for secure connections rather than OpenSSL. On systems with older versions of libgcrypt, the launcher will throw up an error dialog when trying to load the Ravenwood News, and console output will contain the line
ient/BankA/WizardLauncher.exe: ath.c:193: _gcry_ath_mutex_lock: Assertion
`*lock == ((ath_mutex_t) 0)' failed.
This is bug 27036. According to the bug report, this is fixed in newer versions of libgcrypt, so upgrading that library should solve the issue (it did on my system). For users unable to upgrade, simply clicking "No" will close the dialog and the game will load and play normally.
Graphics Cards/Drivers
The platinum-rated test reports above are for a non-legacy Nvidia card running the proprietary driver. Problems have been reported with older Intel GPUs.

Speaking at a press briefing, Dr Rachel Seleka revealed that so far 133 inmates have undergone circumcision at their clinics."So far we have at least 133 inmates from Gaborone, Moshupa and Molepolole prisons circumcised since April last year but we have not taken our initiative to the northern part of the country," she said.
Government introduced the SMC programme a few years ago, and there have been calls for the initiative to be extended to other vulnerable groups outside mainstream society. Seleka said they have discovered that inmates take health related issues more seriously when they are incarcerated.
Admitting that sodomy is a sensitive issue Prisons chief, Motlalekgosi acknowledged that there is sodomy in Botswana prisons."We know that sodomy is illegal in Botswana but it happens in our prisons, how we don't know.If it can happen in mainstream society, what about in places like prisons? I don't have evidence to say it's not happening but we have heard stories narrated by ex-inmates," he said. The Prisons boss observed that prison officers are not merely guards but treatment providers as well. "At any moment an officer is close to a prison inmate," said Motlalekgosi.
He also decried
overcrowding in prisons. Currently there are 3,048 local male convicts and 435 foreign male inmates, 60 female citizen convicts and 14 female foreign convicts. There are 634 remanded local males, 303 foreign males, 15 local females and 11 foreign females. Motlalekgosi said these figures represent 15.2 percent overcrowding.
Answering a question from a reporter who sought to know the efficacy of current rehabilitation mechanisms, Motlalekgosi admitted that there is a need to come up with modern ways of rehabilitating inmates. "Most of the people who commit offences after being granted parole and then re-integrated into society are those initially charged with stock theft. We intend to have rehabilitation programmes tailored for specific individuals. There is also a need to monitor them after they have been released to see if they are responding well to rehabilitation," he said.
On other issues, Motlalekgosi revealed that they have banned smoking in all their prison facilities to curb drug smuggling in prisons. "Our decision to ban smoking and cigarettes in our facilities was informed by a number of factors. In some cases, marijuana is smuggled into prisons in the form of cigarettes," he said.

This is a lovely early-flowering plant. While the flowers are not very showy, they do seem to last a fairly long time (several weeks). It also self-seeds readily and the volunteers are easily relocated.

This is a very unusual plant. The leaves are lovely, as photos here show, and the flowers are a very interesting texture and color.

Last year, when my yellow floribunda roses were in full flush at the same time as the Samobor (which are planted in front of the roses), the effect was very nice. This year the roses are lagging behind and the cranesbill have no "background," thus they are not very interesting or noticeable. They are a poor cut flower as the petals drop almost immediately. My positive rating is mostly for the leaves, and for the "unique" factor. I am entranced by the texture of the petals, which are like vellum, but I probably wouldn't select this plant again.

What's your favorite Borg origin tale? *potential spoilers*

What's your favorite Borg origin tale? *potential spoilers*
As the most popular, restored tale of the Borg will hit the stores in April, I figured it's a good time to look back on STNG's most popular enemies. If you haven't read the sources of these origins you may want to look away.
If you look closely enough they are out there...here's what we have so far:
The origin of the Borg is never made clear, though they are portrayed as having existed for hundreds or thousands of years (as attested by Guinan and the Borg Queen). In
Star Trek: First Contact
, the Borg Queen merely states that the Borg were once much like humanity, "flawed and weak", but gradually developed into a partially synthetic species in an ongoing attempt to evolve and perfect themselves. This theme or relation to humanity is repeated in other sources.
Borg Invasion:
s "Q Who?", Guinan mentions that the Borg are "made up of organic and artificial life [...] which has been developing for [...] thousands of centuries." In the later episode of
Star Trek: Voyager
, "
Dragon's Teeth
", Gedrin, of the race the Vaadwaur, says that before he and his people were put into suspended animation 892 years earlier, the Borg were just a few assimilated colonies inside the Delta Quadrant and viewed somewhat like a minor pain. Now awake in the 24th century, he is amazed to see that the Borg control a vast area of the Delta Quadrant. Seven of Nine comments that the Borg's collective memories of that time period are fragmentary, though it is never established why that is.
The Star Trek Encyclopedia
speculates that there could be a connection between the Borg and
, the vessel encountered in
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
; this is advanced in
William Shatner
's novel
The Return
. The connection was also suggested in a letter in
No. 160 (November 1990). The letter writer,
Christopher Haviland
, also speculated that the original Borg drones were members of a race called "The Preservers", which
had suggested in the
original series
episode "
The Paradise Syndrome
" might be responsible for why so many humanoids populate the galaxy. It was confirmed in the
The Next Generation
episode "
The Chase
" that an ancient species seeded hundreds, if not thousands of planets with their DNA, creating the Humans, Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians and many more. Coincidentally, in the novelization of
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
(written by Gene Roddenberry), the V'ger entity notes that the Ilia probe is resisting the programming given to it because of residual memories and feelings for Decker, from its precise replication of the Deltan lieutenant. When V'ger becomes aware of this, it decides that "the resistance was futile, of course".
The extra section of the game
Star Trek: Legacy
contains the "Origin of the Borg", which tells the story of V'ger being sucked into a
black hole
. V'ger was found by a race of living machines which gave it a form suitable to fulfilling its simplistic programming. Unable to determine who its creator could be, the probe declared all
carbon-based life
an infestation of the creator's universe, leading to assimilation. From this, the Borg were created, as extensions of V'ger's purpose. Drones were made from those assimilated and merged into a collective
. The Borg Queen was created out of the necessity for a single unifying voice. However, with thoughts and desires of her own, she was no longer bound to serve V'ger. This explanation, however, is not
I hate this origin most of all, it makes NO sense whatsoever. V'Ger was from a machine planet, they were sentient but very logical. It was confused only by its merging with the Voyager probe and it's resulting damage. It got what it wanted...something new to explore in a desired MERGING with human beings. This and The Matrix movies are the greatest examples of a positive Singularity in film..in both cases after some conflict, there is a merging or working together and peace. It's the exact opposite of assimilation. Tacking on a Borg origin to this story cheapens the good ending of STTMP.
In the graphic novel
Star Trek: The Manga
, the Borg resulted from an experiment in medical nanotechnology gone wrong. An alien species under threat of extinction by an incurable disease created a repository
containing test subjects infused with body parts, organs, and
of multiple species along with cybernetic enhancements put in place by advanced medical technology. The satellite was maintained by nanomachines, which also maintained the medical equipment on board. The medical facility is parked in orbit by a black hole, and along with the anomalous states of time around the black hole, allows long-term research to continue at an accelerated time scale rather than in real time speed. The medical facility deteriorates and so too does the programming of the nanomachines. The nanomachines began infusing themselves into the patients, interpreting them as part of the satellite in need of repair. Among the patients is the daughter of the head medical researcher of the satellite. The satellite eventually falls apart in an encounter with an away team from the
under the command of
James T. Kirk
. In the final moments of the satellite's destruction and the escape of the crew members of the
with the patients, the subjects display qualities inherently resembling the Borg; injection of nanomachines in a fashion like assimilation, rapid adaptation to
, and a hive mind consciousness, as all the subjects begin following the whim of the daughter. As succumbing to the disease was inevitable, and the corrupt nanomachine programming infused itself into the bodies, the final image of the page of the
Borg origin is left with the daughter turned Borg Queen, stating, "Resistance is futile."
A medical accident cause by Kirk?? Well he DID seem to hate machines didnt he? This doesn't really seem to fit well with the few "canon" elements we do have, mainly from Voyager and First Contact, still I could entertain the idea the Borg were not an intentional result of directed medical knowledge from an advanced species. More likely though, as many scientists as well as science fiction authors suggest, most biological species will likely end up as mechanical AI or partially mechanical at some point.Species will eventually outstrip the biological limitations and even we as a species in 2013 have already ended our biological evolution.
In the novel
Lost Souls
(the third book in the
Star Trek: Destiny
trilogy) the Borg are revealed to be the survivors of the
city Mantilis. Thrown across the galaxy in the
Delta Quadrant
and back in time to approximately 4500 BC by the destruction of
at the climax of
Gods of Night
, the first book in the trilogy, a group of human survivors from the starship
and Caeliar scientists try to survive in a harsh arctic climate. Most of the human survivors die of exposure, while several Caeliar are absorbed into their race's gestalt to give life to the others in their group mind.
The Caeliar offer the remaining humans a merging of human and Caeliar, to allow both groups to survive. The human survivors are resistant and as time goes on, the Caeliar called Sedin becomes the sole survivor of her group, her mental processes and her form both degrading as time goes on. When the humans return to Sedin for help, she forces them to merge with her, unwilling to allow herself to die when a union can save her life. The forced merging of the humans and the mostly-decayed Caeliar results in the creation of the first Borg, the name being created due to the fragmented thought of the first drone as he was assimilated (His last thought was that he would not become some cyborg, with his individuality ceasing before be could finish thinking the final word). The gestalt group mind is perverted to become the collective, driven by Sedin's desperate hunger and need to add the strength, technology and life-force of others to her own. Ironically, while the Caeliar were–albeit accidentally–involved in the creation of the Borg, they also provide the means to end it; in the 24th century, the Caeliar absorb the entire Borg collective back into themselves, ending the cyborgs' centuries-long reign of terror.
This is more like it, I haven't read the books (I started reading the series after it)but I like this one better. I like the irony of the ending though I'm not sure I buy it. I also think the thrown in time part is a bit convoluted. It seems possible that sheer survival might lead to this evolution..a group mind could be perverted, and it also provides an origin for the "Queen". Still I'm not completely satisfied.
Borg Documentary:
So finally here's my take on it: a slightly revised and condensed origin of the Borg I've posted since the late 90s.
I have an interesting idea for the Borg. It is based on the Galactic Center series of novels by Gregory Benford. In it, he hypothesizes that all lifeforms that are intelligent/advanced enough, would seek the rich energy at the center of any galaxy--especially ones with black holes at the center--which spew forth gamma, radio, and all sorts of energetic waves. This would be an ultimate source of energy for any species, and an ecosystem similar to hot vents at the bottom of the sea, which supports many various lifeforms, despite the difficulty in existing there. However, organic life may find existence at galactic center too difficult. The ecosystem would cause the organic forms to die, and their hardy machines to continue on. The machines would "evolve", create new, more advanced machines. The best machines would exist closer to the black hole, natural selection would shape their form, they would get the best of the energy while less advanced forms would absorb photons further out. There would be predators, prey and parasites, as in any biological ecosystem. My idea is that the Borg are at a level of machine evolution where they are part man, part machine--very advanced, but less advanced than the other machines which Benford calls mechanicals, or "mechs". The Borg have sent out numerous ships to gather all raw materials in a desperate attempt to accelerate their evolution, and catch up to the mechs. They want that energy! The only means of traveling that distance to galactic center in a reasonable time is by the transwarp conduits they use. Most of the oldest Borg exist at galactic center fighting for scraps like scavengers. The Borg "queen" was one of them, and was entrigued by Data and humans after being gone so long from the rest of the galaxy. Hence her behavior in STFC.
The mechs on the fringe of galactic center will be mostly interested in their absorption of energy, however, close rivals will surely struggle with, and pursue them, giving the Borg's hunt a sense of urgency. In Benford's books, the most advanced mechs near the event horizon of the black hole have shed their advanced metal/ceramic bodies, and become pure energy, as in the biological model. Many of the mechs will exist as "herds" of gigantic sheets of energy-absorbing "wing" or solar-type panels. Some of them will be gigantic, as they live in zero gravity, and try to maximize surface area to collect energy waves. Photovores dozens of square miles in area are common. They will be hunted by packs of jagged-shaped metallic predators called metallovores that can absorb energy and materials in fusion furnaces, and turn them into needed alloys, as the sun has been fulfilling the old alchemist's dream of transmutation of matter. Mech ships would be created out of several large, mech bodies, and would have a segmented, complex look. The most advanced metallic mechs even have weapons that can distort space-time itself. You can see what the Borg would be up against.
So far in ST up to DF, the Borg origins are left enigmatic, and no doubt this will be the case for a long time because the writers would not want this fascinating race to lose any of their mystery. But most people I have seen tend to overlook that their reasons for assimilating(if not their actual creation/origin) are mentioned time and again. They simply feel theirs is the best way..they feel the enhancement of lifeforms is their prime directive, and unleash their single-minded collective will on everyone they encounter. Is this a satisfying reason? Possibly, its not unlike the Nazi ideal of Aryan perfection, and so they appear to be like the stormtroopers in SW--which to me is somewhat of a disappointment. They should be much more interesting than this, and I feel my idea above supplies the rationale that does not conflict much with established history. In Dark Frontier, the Queen mentions that she is of an assimilated species, now this could still mean she is one of the oldest Borg, or it could be the NEW queen is a newer species and that the original Queen we saw is still from a similar but older species (just speculation if it were to fit into my origin). I feel that the idea she is a coordinator rather than leader of the Borg has as much evidence as the common conception of her because of the "hive", "insect" and hierarchical analogies that seem obvious.
While the evolution to AI/mechanical species is a common concept in fiction (Culture series, Anvil of Stars, etc) and within speculation of scientists (Hawking, Dick, Bostrom, Marovec, Benford, Vinge, et al) I felt I should credit Benford with the direct inspiration.

Linux security essentials guide
This guide provides an introduction to security-related topics about Linux hardening processes, which reduce the risk that software vulnerabilities can be exploited. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, which is functionally similar to CentOS 6, is used for commands and examples.
This guide covers the most important topics and considerations for improving your server's security, but it is not comprehensive and will not make your servers completely attack-proof .
Version disclaimers:
- Most of the information is relevant for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and CentOS 5, with some minor differences in the names of packages or small syntax changes. The same applies for earlier versions of Red Hat and CentOS.
- Some commands described in this guide might differ between Red Hat and CentOS versions 6 and 5 because of changes in package naming conventions.
- Most of this information can also apply to distributions not based on Red Hat, such as Debian and Ubuntu. However, the information is optimized for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and CentOS 6 systems and the yum package management system is used for examples.
- Red Hat 5 and CentOS 5 reach support end-of-life (EOL) in March 2017. If you are running Red Hat 5 or CentOS 5, migrate to a newer version before EOL is reached or you will not be able to get updates for newer security vulnerabilities.

When I was 13 years old, my father died from a massive heart attack. His death left my mother, my 2 and 5 year-old sisters and me wondering how this could have happened to an otherwise healthy 37 year-old man. If I knew then what I know now, I would have slapped a lawsuit on his medical providers.
He had classic left shoulder and jaw pain for nearly a week. He had gone to several doctors over the course of that week, only to be diagnosed with a completely wrong and non-life threatening condition. The doctors completely missed the fact that he was undergoing a heart attack for nearly a week! Finally, his heart gave out. His condition could easily have been treated and he could have been with his family for the last 30 years.
Knowing that I wanted to represent victims of negligence, I worked for a national law firm for most of my 18 year career. I gained the experience to win. I learned how to work up a case from the defense side. I learned to see what scares defendants and insurance companies the most. I learned how to present a case so that the insurance company knows that it is in its best interest to settle without a costly and risky jury trial.
Bottom line is I know what it takes to give you the best chance of maximum recovery for your injuries.

That is a great logo.
This is a totally glorious logo. Color me impressed.
Very cool logo!
logoyu görür görmez sizin yaptığınızı anladım çok başarılı tebrikler..
Looks cool.
Stunning big time! The details in this logo in beyond. Wooooooooooooow. Great work
Masterful execution
Reminds me of old logos found on Amiga demos. Cool!
very cool
this dont reminds anything - its just UNIQUE & STUNNING!!!
Great detail, illustration and typography!
always so perfect
Supa cool!
How long did this take, and what's your process?
Congrats on your Daily Deviation!
Well, that IS insanely hard to get off the ground. Table top games like D&D are a very small group of consumers and the idea was played into the ground, dead, by the bombardment of the 1990s' attempts at it.
So, it's not actually a PC game but rather a table top game like D&D?
wow drop dead jaw dropping awesomeness!!! really nice work and congrats on your DD! well deserved
That rocks!!
very cool. i just love the way you made the new world (guns and the jet engines) cross with old world. Or at least that vibe is what i'm getting from it. looks very nice. well done
We're actually planning one pretty soon! Though to be fair we've been in development on and off since before the Kickstarter thing started. Awfully long term project.
Woow, very awesome!!!
No Problemo!
Did you consider perhaps running it as a kickstarter first? Would of helped with a lot of expenses.
Really cool
Honestly this make me check out the game and now I am very interested in it!
Also Kerem, you have done an excellent job on the logo
Also Kerem, you have done an excellent job on the logo
Released, sort of. Self publishing is bastardly expensive for books of the size of tabletop RPG manuals.
is one fancy logo
is one fancy logo
Still in beta? Or released?
Well, it's not D20, but I think it's kind of a neat system.
I'm sure you might be bias, but is it piss poor game play atm, too?
AAAAAAAAnd, another dd for kerembeyit. At this point, I'm just never surprised.
He's not cheap, but I full endorse this dudes work ethic and quality.
We're... (New Horizon) Not really in stores, so to speak. You can buy our stuff online and have it ordered, but the cost tog t it through lulu is prohibitive. We'll be working to make our stuff feasible to grab in the near future! Just put a sticky note somewhere to remind you.
So much win. You are amazing!

Remember Me
There is nothing quite like winding down from those sweaty summer days upon the The Half Moon Boat with a cold drink in your hand, the crisp breeze off the East River in your face, the lights of Gotham's greatest architectural treasures lighting your way, and the sounds of some of today's finest screaming all around you. Could there be a greater expression of this country's freedom than staring straight up at the Statue of Liberty while Rana rocks your world so hard that Lady Liberty herself starts shaking her booty? Does it get any more transcendental than passing under the Brooklyn Bridge while New Monsoon broaches your sanity? And will you need a passport to get back on land when Garaj Mahal takes you so far to another place as the boat circles the island? Could there be a better skipper than Patterson Hood?
Like tribute bands?? Of course you do! Rocks Off has 'em on both boats--you can finally live out your fantasy of rocking out to live Van Halen while riding the waves with Unchained on the Temptress or sing along with the "ultimate" Beatles tribute, Strawberry Fields, aboard the Half Moon. The list goes on--there's something for everyone on this seafood menu.
Manhattan is surrounded by water--doesn't it make sense to spread the groove offshore? Rocks Off thinks so! So don't get stuck on land: get that sailor's outfit out of storage and make like gangbusters to the water. The Titanic of the Rocks Off Boat Cruise is about to hit the iceberg of rocking out and believe me, you'll want to go down til the end with this one.
Set sail…

'Animal', un sólo show de BorondoJuxtapoz // Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Año tras año Borondo ha ido sumando adeptos a su trabajo. Y no es para menos. El artista español orbita entre la delicadeza del clasicimos de sus composiciones y la brutalidad de su estilo. Mancha y conviven armónicamente generando un personal y reconocible resultado que todos identificamos rapidamente.
Paper Birds by Johan ScherftJuxtapoz // Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Johan Scherft started making papercraft birds at the age of 14. His first birds were modeled after English artist Malcolm Topp and made using a colored pencil. Now 30 years later, the Dutch artist uses a computer to aid in initial blueprints and completes the rest of the painstaking process by hand.
The Paintings of Jacek YerkaJuxtapoz // Tuesday, January 27, 2015
It is always nice to see a skilled fantasy surreal painter, as is the case with artist Jacek Yerka. His paintings, at times, look like the inspiration of for Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Delicatessen. That is a very good thing. Look at a mini-portfolio after the jump . . .
Moses Hacmon Photographs Water in MotionJuxtapoz // Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Israeli artist Moses Hacmon has found a way to capture water in motion through an analog photographic technique using a fluid film made out of nanoparticles that retains a liquid layer of iron. This registers the water's movement first and then allows it to be imprinted on any surface in any shape. The resulting photographic negative is then transformed into a positive image. The process is the result of eleven years of studying and investigating the physical characteristics of the flow of water. Watch a video after the jump...
The Work of Uttaporn NimmalaikaewJuxtapoz // Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Each piece from Thai artist Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew "starts from a canvas backdrop that is set inside a deep casement, and that is then lightly veiled by multiple layers of thread and netting. The artist paints not only on the canvas but also on the thread and netting in order to create shimmering portraits and figurative scenes. He creates a depth of field that goes beyond three-dimensional space; rather, his work captures a time-space dimension in a way that has few parallels in the history of art.
Book Reviews: Mark Mothersbaugh "Myopia"Juxtapoz // Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Legally blind until age seven when he got his first pair of glasses, Mothersbaugh started fashioning his own version of the world at the outset and has not stopped. Though best known as frontman for Devo (of "Whip It" fame), collaborating with filmmaker Wes Anderson, and building soundtracks for children's shows like Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Yo Gabba Gabba! and Rugrats, Mothersbaugh is first and foremost a visual artist.

The innovative Noreen Bad News 338 Lapua provides tactical shooters with the performance of a powerful and proven long range cartridge with the numerous advantages of the venerable AR platform. The Noreen 338 Lapua weighs only 13 pounds, and it vastly outperforms comparable bolt-action sniper rifles. This rifle comes with a custom muzzle-break and semi-auto action that significantly suppresses recoil. In the AR tradition, the Bad News 338 Lapua disassembles quickly for easy cleaning, then reasembles with no loss of zero. The familiar fit and feel of a conventional AR rifle makes the transition to the more powerful sniper rifle seamless. This Noreen includes an ultra-heavy duty Plano case, which is far superior to a pelican style case. 100% Made in the USA.

The only one on your list that's larger than a GIII QL17 is the Canon 7. The Konica S3 fits in nicely with the rest. The Olympus XA is much the smallest. Olympus RC is also worth considering.
The XA is the odd one out - in addition to being much smaller/lighter, it feels and handles very differently from the others. Some like it, some find it fiddly and hard to handle. It's also more dependent on electronics and as such is more vulnerable to a failure that can't be repaired.
My favorite of the lot is the Hi-Matic 7SII. But I use it manually. What I don't like about the '70s-to-early-'80s-vintage compact rangefinders with mechanically-governed shutters is that their exposure automation is shutter-priority, which as I'm sure you know means the aperture gets set automatically. That's not OK by me, since the aperture determines what's going to be in focus and thus what the picture is going to look like. The XA is the only one on your list which has aperture-priority AE, with an electronic shutter.

About Us
he Bella's legacy began over 50 years ago with Marie and Patrick Barnes, Sr. from Braintree, MA. Decades before "Bella's", Marie's mother and father, Bella and Frank Richardi owned and operated Richardi's Sub Shop in Braintree for many years (currently owned by Dan Richardi - Marie's cousin). Pat & Marie, over a 20-year period owned over 12 sub shops in Rockland, Weymouth, Scituate, Natick, Worcester, Stoughton and Wellesley, just to name a few. Although now under different ownerships, the Marie's name still carries on in certain locations, as "Maria's Sub Shop". Marie's ambitions in the restaurant industry did not stop there. In 1974, Marie and Patrick opened the first Bella's, then located at Braintree Five Corners, as a small family-style Italian restaurant. Marie handled every detail in the kitchen, including the cooking, and Patrick made sure the details of the business ran smoothly. They also had Marie's mother and several family members on the staff too.

Hi Tom, I agree that Efke 100 and FP4+ are nice films, but I'm surprised that you have not found Delta 100 responsive. I really don't use Delta 100 too much any more, but I used it extensively a few years ago. In Xtol, D-76 and Pyrocat HD I was able to get negatives for which ever process I was planning: conventional silver printing, or any of the alt process I do (Albumen, Van Dyke, Kallitype and Pt/Pd.)
I have a 30x40 print that was made from a Xtol developed 4x5 Delta 100 negative. Everyone that sees it is amazed by it, because it has the complete range of tones, wonderful shadow & highlight (snow) detail and you can put your nose to the print and there is no hint of grain.
Delta 100 is a very nice film, don't hesitate using it.
Regards, Pete

The package included trusses, in-fill timbers and bracing. The entire project, which will be used as a day nursery for children up to the age of five, took two months from concept to fi tting. The company stocks a range of softwoods, sheet materials, laminates, joinery and building products.

PUDLO Basement receives a right royal treatment Pudlo concentrated waterproofing powder has been used in the redevelopment of London's Royal Albert Hall. In order to improve facilities, release space and improve accessibility, the majority of the renovation work was carried out below ground, and a four-storey basement was built on-site. The BBA-approved Pudlo admixture system was chosen for its ability to perform without needing to install membranes. The system was accompanied by on-site technical support and advice throughout.

PILKINGTON Maintaining glazing won't cost the earth To save on maintenance costs, New York's Museum of the Earth incorporates both Pilkington Activ self-cleaning glass and Energy Advantage low-e glass on the exterior facades. The design of the building includes an overhanging roof in some areas, so not all glass is exposed to the elements. However, designers still believed that using Activ would greatly reduce cleaning costs.
Pilkington Activ technology uses UV light to break down organic dirt deposits on the glass, then lets rain, or light hosing, to wash the dirt away.

In the West, geisha are known for their intricate stage makeup. In the East however, she is known for the "mochi hada" or "baby skin" beneath her performance makeup. Her rituals are deceptively and brilliantly simple though.
The foundation of her classic beauty ritual is brilliantly effective and deceptively simple — a trio of powerful anti-oxidants, each fulfilling a key role in her regimen:
Green Tea — the healing protector
Rice Bran — the nourishing exfoliant
Okinawa Red Algae — the replenishing moisturizer
These anti-oxidant rich ingredients are at the heart of a diet credited with the extraordinary longevity of the Japanese people.
Vanity Fair
"Give the Gift of Gorgeous Skin"
The TATCHA Ritual Kiri Gift Box packs all of the skin-care essentials into a precious wooden Japanese keepsake box, custom-made by an artisan shop in Tokyo.
San Francisco Chronicle
"Beauty Secrets of the Geisha"
"Our entire team tried TATCHA and just fell in love with the textures and fragrances, as well as the way our skin felt and looked after using the products."
What is the ritual?
TATCHA's skincare collection is a recreation of the classic beauty essentials used for centuries by geisha, famed for their pure, polished, radiant and supple skin.
How many steps are in the ritual?
TATCHA's skincare ritual has 4 effortless steps:
1. Purifying — melt away impurities + even waterproof makeup in just one easy step
2. Polishing — reveal skin's natural pearly luster with an enzyme exfoliant
3. Brighten — boost the skin's natural radiance by diminishing the look of age spots
4. Nourishing — bring the youthful suppleness of skin back by repleneshing vital nutrients and moisture
How do I use this ritual?
Step 1: PURE One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil
Step 2: POLISHED Gentle Rice Enzyme Powders
Step 3: RADIANT Deep Brightening Serum
Step 4: SUPPLE Moisture Rich Silk Cream
How long does the ritual take?
TATCHA's skincare philosophy is one of simplicity and effortlessness. The entire ritual can be completed in 3 minutes.
Will this work for me if I am not Asian?
Yes, the benefits of this skincare collection can be enjoyed by all ethnicities because the formulas work to return skin to its original state of balance, the beautiful skin that we were all born with.
How long will it take to see results?
When used as a ritual daily, morning and night, results can be seen as quickly as 2 weeks. For optimal results, continue for at least 8 weeks.
What is the core ingredient in the collection?
At the heart of all TATCHA skincare essentials is our HADASEI-3 Bioactive Complex, a trio of time-tested extracts of Green Tea, Okinawa Red Algae and Japanese Rice Bran. Extremely rich in Epigallocatechin, Beterhelin and Inositol, these potent extracts work together to nourish and boost the skin's barrier function inside and out. The result is beauty in balance — skin that is pure, polished, radiant and supple.
I have sensitive skin. Can I use these products?
All of TATCHA's skincare essentials are dermatologist tested, non-irritating and non-sensitizing. We formulate without mineral oil, synthetic fragrances, sulfate detergents, parabens, PEGs, PPGs, urea, DEA, TEA and phthalates.
Works WondersThank you for these skin care products. My skin has been really dry and flaky and hard to moisturize and your products have really given it great moisture and it feels soft and supple. They have worked wonders and corrected many fine lines around my eyes, mouth, and forehead! Thanks again for your products and for giving me back hydrated skin! Best wishes to you, your team, and your company.Read More
Seriously, it's the bestI am no longer considered a young woman, but, my skin is.Read More
I have used many products and have always treated my skin well, but it is always dry, nothing corrects it. So what am I paying all this money for? Then I found Tatcha...so far I have only used the ritual pack (and what a good idea that is) just to see how it agrees with my skin. No kidding, in a day I was asked , "what have you done, your skin looks great ".....well I thought it did, but when others mention it, you know its working . I LOVE THIS PRODUCT . Every product I try of Tatcha's is beautiful, it feels and smells wonderful, I want them all!
After reading the whole website, it gives me a sense of calm.... while applying creams and serums to my face, I slow down and feel the pleasure of the ritual and really massage it in, and then Tatcha does its job. My skin is smooth and glowing . I seldom wear makeup my skin looks so good.
I am so happy to have found Tatcha. They have done what no other company has been able to do: I no longer have dry skin . Thank you!
... so worth it!I'm just 18, but I've been wanting a steady skin care routine that I don't stray away from, that only has a few items and that simply work well. I have struggled with my skin for many years, since I hit puberty. From dryness to oily skin, i've experienced it all and my skin has been through everything. I'm so happy to have found Tatcha because I can finally say I found something that works. I was concerned because when I ordered this, I was going through a break out, and I thought perhaps this wouldn't really target any acne since thats not what it's meant for. However, my skin has cleared up so significantly. I went to Hawaii for 10 days and didn't take the kit with me, as I thought it was too expensive to take on such a long trip, things always get lost or forgotten! I didn't use it while I was there and I could immediately tell. I haven't been using the kit for very long so my skin hasn't had the time to really heal with it, so those 10 days were terrible without it! Although its not meant for acne, I feel it really really helped clear it up and actually prevent it. I'm so happy to have found Tatcha! No more skin problems! It's costly but so worth it!Read More

In this paper, we use a new property-level dataset to estimate the price of land since 2000 for nearly 600,000 detached single-family homes in the Washington, DC metro area. We employ these estimates to characterize the recent boom/bust cycle in land prices and house prices in the Washington area at a fine level of geography. The data show that land prices were more volatile than house prices everywhere, but especially so in the areas where land was inexpensive in 2000. In those areas, the land share of property value jumped during the boom, and this rise in the land share was a useful predictor of the subsequent crash in house prices. These results highlight the value of focusing on land for assessing house-price risk. In ongoing work, we are exploring how much of the spatial variation in land-price changes can be linked to high-risk mortgage lending and fundamentals such as housing rents, income growth, and employment.

GeoGebra is dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that joins arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and calculus. It offers multiple representations of objects in its graphics, algebra, and spreadsheet views that are all dynamically linked.
While other interactive software (e.g., Cabri Geometry, Geometer's Sketchpad) focus on dynamic manipulations of geometrical objects, the idea behind GeoGebra is to connect geometric, algebraic, and numeric representations in an interactive way. You can do constructions with points, vectors, lines, and conic sections, as well as functions, and change them dynamically more...

Gregg Stewart | March 10, 2011 | Comments
Do brands with a higher number of "likes" get more recognition? Would these "likes" really deliver increased engagement? Here is an experiment to find out.
One of the most important aspects of any social media strategy is building a strong network of users in the form of "likes," "connections," or "followers," respectively. On a number of occasions, I've had the opportunity to speak with several groups of local businesses regarding social media networking, and one question continues to linger in their minds, "Should I buy social followers to help jumpstart my community and tap into the 'network effect' of people online?"
To put this in perspective, we'll use Facebook as an example. Facebook users that "like" companies, organically (on their own terms), have intentions to engage with the company in a variety of ways. Also, these "likes" build a network of Facebook users that have had a positive experience with your company.
However, as Facebook progresses and becomes a major online leader, it's getting harder and harder for SMBs to stand above the crowd and attract quality "likes." Is there another way? Yes. But it may be the equivalent of opening Pandora's box. In addition to building "likes" organically, there are several aggregators out there that are now offering guaranteed "likes" for a price.
For those unfamiliar, "like buying" is essentially paying a company/aggregator for a guaranteed number of "likes" to your Facebook page. As companies begin to pay for "likes," it's almost a certainty that a "like farm" will emerge, comparable to that of a "link farm." Put simply, a like farm is a group of Facebook users that are all friends with each other and "like" the same topics, ideas, or businesses.
The Experiment
For better or for worse, we thought this was a concept worth testing. Do brands with a higher number of "likes" get more recognition? Would these "likes" really deliver increased engagement? Although we were skeptics, we knew we would have to test it to deliver an impartial analysis. So we turned to my company's lab division to conduct the experiment and monitor the results of purchasing "likes" on Facebook. We selected one particular vendor (who will remain anonymous) that promised us 1,000 "targeted" "likes" for $197. The following is what transpired:
After some delay, and some action required on our part to question when these "likes" would take place, the vendor finally came through for us. Within a 48-hour period, we saw an increase of 400 new "likes" on our Facebook page.
We then conducted an analysis of how "targeted" these "likes" were. It seems as though the majority of our new fan base had the following in common:
After a couple weeks, we took the proper steps to cut our losses and end this service. The point of this experiment was to complete an impartial analysis of this service, and we were able to do that. Here are some further takeaways from this experiment:
Key Takeaways
If you are a small business only using social media platforms as a way to gain popularity through "likes," then you may want to revise your social media strategy. The intrinsic value of an organic "like" is a consumer that you can establish a relationship with. There is no potential for valuable engagement with paid "likes." Also, in diluting your Facebook page (or Twitter account or company blog), you'll have a hard time getting a pulse on what your local consumers are really looking for.
Instead of looking for shortcuts, I recommend building your community/audience the right way, by providing a value in the exchange of communication with your target audience. Here are a few key tips:
Employing a social media strategy requires the same personal skills you would utilize when your customers are across the counter from you. Get started in the conversation, build your community, and remember that shortcuts will not replace the hard work that has made your company successful.
