Software Engineering, Project Management, and Effectiveness
Your Outcome: Identify 3 things going well and 3 things to improve based on you results for this week.
Welcome to Day 6 of 7 Days of Agile Results. Agile Results is the productivity system introduced in my best-selling time management book, Getting Results the Agile Way.
Let's recap what we've done so far:
Use Friday Reflection as a way to invest in yourself, reinvent yourself, and renew yourself. If you do this well, this is the secret of continuous improvement. Each week, what you learn from Friday Reflection can help you tune and improve your results so you get better and better.
One of the most common patterns is to simply lose sight of what we set out to achieve for his week. That's why thinking of 3 Wins for the Week is so powerful. It gives us a target. We check ourselves during the week, and adjust our course. Then Friday is where we really peer into our personal process and find ways to improve it.
To do Friday reflection, simply give yourself 10 or 20 minutes on Friday mornings to ask yourself two things:
The goal is to carry the good forward and build better habits.
Before you answer the questions above, really reflect on your week. Did you do what you set out to do? If not, did you trade up for the right things? Did you get randomized? Did you bite off more than you can chew?
See what starts to happen? You start to notice your own patterns. This awareness becomes your advantage, when you use it to change what's not working, and do more of what is working It's a way to improve your personal habits and streamline your results.
This is a powerful way to learn your own capacity and to gradually improve your "ability to execute."
Here are a few common patterns and what to do about them:
Most important, relax and truly embrace Friday Reflection as one of the best ways that you can improve your personal performance, in a simple and almost automatic way. Just by asking these simple questions, you start to gain awareness and you start to gain more clarity on what works best for you, and what your true execution abilities are.
What's even better is that you'll naturally start to improve here simply by paying attention to these key questions. They'll help you see what you did not see before. And, if you make this Friday Reflection a simple way to check in with yourself each week, you'll find yourself paying more attention throughout the week. And, you'll start to make little adjustments here and there that start to help you focus and prioritize on higher value outcomes and activities.
You will gradually find that you are achieving better and better results, with less effort and more clarity.
You will unleash the productive artist that's already within you, as well as tap your most inspiring abilities, skills, and strengths.
This is how you will fan your flames and set your productivity on fire … the quiet way … the Agile way.
Welcome to your private victories that last a life time.

Video: Jeffrey Wright Discusses The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
In a recent interview with ABC News, Jeffrey Wright, who has been cast as Beetee in the Hunger Games sequel discuss his role in the movie.
"It's really comforting," Wright said about being a part of the cultural phenomenon. "When you make a movie, you hope that you will surpass peoples' expectations."
Wright plays Beetee in the second installment, "Catching Fire," which is currently filming.
"[He] is one of the previous victors from the games," Wright said. "He comes back in the 75th anniversary games, the Quarter Quell as it's called and he participates again. But this time the games are used as a foil to advance other ideas."

This foundation does what it claims to do, it just didn�t work for my skin. The foundation application is important, you need to work quickly with this product and prepare the skin well as once it�s set it�s not going anywhere and can look streaky if not blended properly. I actually found using my fingers was the best method of application, making sure I used a decent primer or moisturizer it could blend with. The coverage was light to medium, I myself like a medium to full coverage so did need concealer and powder to feel happy with the end result.
Before powder is applied the finish is shiny. Not oily but I think it does need a setting powder at least along the t-zone to look wearable. In terms of wear this foundation is excellent and comparable to estee lauder double wear. Even after a full day of work, without re powdering this foundation stayed in place very well. You could easily go out straight after work with as this foundation does go the distance. It didn�t work for me mainly because I have some dry skin and it just seemed to look patchy around my nose and under my eyes.
Long wearing � a full day of work plus more with a quick powder top up.
Colour selection � as usual mac has a big colour selection, especially for those who may not have a good match for ELDW � there might be a shade in here for you as this performs very similar.
Price � well priced for a high end foundation
Finish � Once set with powder this sets matte and perfect .
Packaging � includes a pump and comes in a nice glass bottle
Hard to work with and blend.
Clings to dry patches.

Full coverage. Not unbelievable full coverage like Kat Von D, but it is full coverage. The finish of this is better than KVD though..and it doesn't smell like paint. Looks best when applied with a beauty blender in my opinion. I have dry skin and it does ok as long as I wear a heavy moisturizer under it. I keep trying other foundations, but keep coming back to this one. But I only use on special occasions because if I use it every day, it breaks me out.

Definitely my go to foundation. Color matches my skin perfectly (NC50). the coverage is great and doesn't look at all cakey. It really provides smooth and polished look. love it so much.

Everything about this foundation realistically ticks all the boxes. It's a relatively reasonable price for a high end foundation ($54AUD), it matches my colour perfectly (NW40), as the name suggests it is definitely a long wearing foundation and to top it off, the finish is perfect for my skin type (combination). The downfall... I have never broken out as badly as I did when I purchased and started using this. I have constant, red pimples on my face (those painful, under the skin kind) and a series of tiny, horrible bumps on my forehead that I just can't seem to get rid of. I wish I didn't have these issues because I genuinely loved the foundation itself but unlucky for me - my skin is still trying to recover from the damage.

How can anyone hate this foundation?
Its perfect for combination/oily skin, its not too thick and not too thin its a perfect balance.
I will forever repurchase this foundation.
I do also mix it with other foundations such as Chanel perfection lumniere and bobbi brown skin foundation.

Currently my go to foundation, goes well on my combi-oily skin, great coverage but can get cakey if too much is used or with a lot of powder, stays on all day and price is not too bad, love the lock tight pump.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

This is my HG foundation. The coverage and texture are amazing. I can apply this one beautifully by hand, brush and beautyblender, it doesnt really matter because it always looks beautifull. The fact that the coverage is buildable and therefor is adjustable to my wishes makes me very happy. The natural finish makes it look so smooth on my combination skin. The longwearing effect is amazing, this one last me for about 15 hours! Perfection
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure

This foundation might be my new HG foundation.
I have combo skin and by day's end my foundation is splotchy and has moved, my blush is completely gone and I look like a Picasso painting. I have tried many long wearing foundations and this by far is my favorite. I first tried it for a night out only. I have a good reason. I was going to a bonfire and thought for sure my foundation would not last. This product proved me wrong, not once but TWICE that night. It stayed in place, even by the fire, all night long. I got home and fell asleep in my make up, by mistake. In the morning I woke to a full face of makeup. I was pretty surprised that this does last like it says.
The next time I tried it was when I went to work. Granted I work in an office and rarely go outside. My make up remained flawless all day. I got so many compliments and the only difference was my foundation. It stayed in place through eating, drinking and even some sneezing. I usually lose some foundation during these moments. It remained on my face until I cleaned it for bed.
I will admit that there is a problem with this foundation getting too tacky too fast after application and it becoming hard to work with, but I do believe that this is something I can work with.
This foundation is semi matte, allowing your natural skin to shine through in all the right places. This is definitely my new go to foundation and I will be re-purchasing this product!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Coarse
Eyes: Hazel
This was my favorite foundation I ever used! I have combination skin, so it was neither drying nor did it make my face oily! I am also prone to breakouts and I noticed my skin improved when I started using this product! It also is very long lasting I would wear it for 12 hours straight and it still looked great by the end of day! However im very pale and after a while of having this product it began to oxidize and turn orange. So if you are very pale like me, I would not suggest this product.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Red, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
This must be one of the few foundations that I really have repurchased in my lifetime! Stays quite well on my face and even better with a quality powder, such as e.l.f HD loose powder (Translucent).
Glass bottle with pump system is far better than plastic tubes, although breakable.
PLUS, I seem to finally have found a perfectly matching shade for my skin (NW25).

Did you check and see if there is spark from the ignition wires. That is the first step. Second step is check for stored fault codes in the vehicle computer and then repost with the codes. You will need a scanner to access the computer. They are under $100.
Ator27 3/20/2010
Check the 2 wires going into the coil normaly white and the other pink. The wires will have a break close to the connector. Grab the connector and then pull each wire 1 at a time about 2 inches back. The insolation will stretch and break on the bad wire. Another test is to pull on the wires while the engine is running to see if it studders or dies. If it is the connetor the easy fix is to order a new connector with pigtails and use soldier and heat shrink. Connectors available from delco or dealer. This is very common and will not set codes.

text: I'm working on a camera build with some friends, and we're trying to anticipate what rail lengths we'd like (it's going to be a hefty monorail design and will be extensible by coupling rails). This will be primarily a 12x20 with 8x20 reduction, but we have entertained the idea of building 7x17 and/or 11x14 reductions for it as well. We've been throwing numbers around, and so far have thought of perhaps two 18" rails, or a 24" + 20" + 10" rail setup (this latter giving the options of 20", 24", 30", 34", 44" and even 54" depending on how you connect the rails). What would you do to economize on weight / number of rails, but still have a versatile camera (and minimize being poked in the chest and/or having the rail in the way of wider shots)? What extensions are most useful? We don't have any lenses, though I do have a 12-21-28" turner reich triple which I've heard might cover with the longer focal length single elements (21 and 28"). Otherwise we might look into some of the bigger process lenses, dagors, etc - basically whatever becomes available. What would be your ideal monorail setup for a camera of this size though?

Played a bit more yesterday, and it seems it's only in video mode.
It's kinda hard to describe the noise it makes is. It's almost like a faint grinding noise maybe. Or maybe like it's initially sticking and then eventually coming unstuck and flicking to the next width, instead of smoothly transitioning between apertures.
When in manual photo mode and quickly transitioning through the apertures from small to large, it is silent.

The Filson Historical Society is proud to present Filson Fridays. This is an opportunity to meet our staff as they share the results of their research in The Filson Collections. We welcome you to enjoy this summer programming every Friday at noon. On August 5, Dr. Mark Wetherington, Director of The Filson Historical Society, will how the advent of steamboats and the steam engine sparked an industrial revolution.
2011 marks the bicentennial of steamboat navigation on the Ohio River. The arrival of the steam engine brought not only a new form of transportation to the Ohio Valley, but it introduced the new technology to many industries connected to steamboat manufacture. From sawmills to furniture factories, the advent of steamboats impacted all the falls communities, changing the way that people traveled and the landscape through which they traveled.
This lecture will begin at noon at The Filson Historical Society. There is no cost for this event, though reservations are suggested. You may reserve your seat by visiting www.filsonhistorical.org or by calling The Filson at (502) 635-5083.

Buddhist Writings on Greed, Desire, and the Urge to Consume
At one time or another, most of us have experienced an all-consuming desire for a material object, a desire so strong that it seems like we couldn't possibly be happy without buying this thing. Yet, when we give in to this impulse, we often find ourselves feeling frustrated and empty. Advertisers, of course, aim to hook us in this way, and, from a global perspective, our tendency to get hooked… Read More

Scenes From An Iraqi Wedding
NPR reporter Corey Flintoff sends along this dispatch from Iraq:
Here's a sign that things might be looking up in Baghdad.
Last year, I did a story about how wedding photographers were hurting for business, because the security situation was so awful that young people either couldn't meet or didn't feel optimistic enough to commit to marriage.
The weddings that did take place were very private affairs because people didn't want to draw attention that could lead to a terrorist attack.
Last Friday, I was invited to an afternoon wedding party in the relatively safe and upscale neighborhood called Karrada. True, there was a bombing at a crowded restaurant there a couple of days before, but the situation was safe enough that I and some of NPR's Iraqi staff members were able to drive to the banquet hall without security guards.
Karrada's main streets were once vibrant with life — restaurants, shops, clubs and hotels. Today the district is a dusty shadow of its former self, strewn with rubble from car bombings and lined with blank-faced, empty buildings. But a few restaurants are open, and there are signs of fresh paint on some of the banks and businesses.
The reception was held in an upstairs hall in a rather anonymous building, marked only by the wedding car parked outside, decked with paper roses. Once inside though, the floors were rumbling with over-amplified Arab pop music. Men danced with one another under a glittering disco ball, while women with sparkling headscarves chatted at the tables.
The bride and groom sat solemnly in their regalia on thrones at one end of the room, posing for pictures with family members and guests. The wedding was for them, but the party was clearly for everyone else. They had about as much chance of having fun as the couple on top of a wedding cake.
The bridegroom was lanky young man, the cousin of an Iraqi friend. The bride was pretty, dressed in a Western-style wedding gown, coiffed and made-up to the point of inscrutability.
I wished them well — and wholeheartedly, too. Marriage is a leap of faith for anybody. For young Iraqis, it's a bigger leap than for most.
— Corey Flintoff, NPR

Ramon Diaz and three other members of the American GI Forum's Orange County chapter had one mission in mind when they headed to Los Angeles in September to picket the PBS affiliate KCET-TV.
They were going to make lots of noise and make sure that PBS heard exactly how unhappy they were with filmmaker Ken Burns and his World War II documentary "The War."
Now, you have to understand that normally these GI Forum members aren't the type to hit the picket line or cause a ruckus. You're more likely to find them on school campuses encouraging students to go to college or giving out scholarships, than protesting.
But Burns' exclusion of Latino veterans in his original version of "The War" made this veterans group so angry, they couldn't keep quiet.
So they went to Los Angeles and made their voices heard. Afterward, Diaz and other activists across the nation realized that the problem was bigger than just this single documentary.
"What we have is a pattern of excluding us," says Diaz, of San Juan Capistrano. "When people leave us out, they leave us out of history, they leave us out of books that our kids will be reading."
This larger question examining how Latinos are portrayed in history books, in the media and by society is now motivating activists like Diaz to tackle not just the exclusion of Latinos in "The War," but the exclusion of Latinos in school curricula, libraries, history books and beyond.
"I think what this issue has exposed are weaknesses in so many different areas," says Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez, a lead organizer of a nationwide grass roots campaign known as Defend the Honor, which has protested "The War." "This is about the place of Latino history in our country's narrative."
The American GI Forum's Rudy Escalante chapter of Orange County is one of dozens of organizations that form part of the Defend the Honor coalition and have participated in its national survey asking members what steps they would like the coalition to take next.
Possible actions may include boycotting PBS corporate sponsors and protesting future PBS broadcasts of the "The War."
Whatever the membership decides, Rivas-Rodriguez says their activities of the past year have taught them to see the larger picture. They've expanded their goals to raise awareness about Latino contributions to the United States, she says.
For instance, she points out that not many people have heard of the forced repatriation of Mexicans and Mexican Americans (some who were U.S. citizens) from California in the 1930s. The following decade, some of these same citizens served in the U.S. military, says Rivas-Rodriguez, who is director of an oral history project compiling the histories of Latinos who served in World War II.
Burns' handling of "The War" angered activists like Diaz and Rivas-Rodriguez, but it has also been a wake up call, they say.
"If this is something that you really feel strongly about, we can no longer think that it will take care of itself. We need to take ownership and make things more equitable," says Rivas-Rodriguez, an associate professor of journalism at the University of Texas, Austin.
For their part, the Rudy Escalante chapter will be petitioning local school districts to create more inclusive curricula that cover events ranging from the 1930s repatriations to the landmark Mendez v. Westminster desegregation case here in Orange County.
They also plan to protest any efforts to place the accompanying book and DVD of "The War" in public libraries or public schools.
"Our main thrust is like our motto: 'Education is our freedom and freedom should be everybody's business,' " says Diaz, who serves as chapter secretary.
Fortunately, Diaz and Rivas-Rodriguez are not alone in their efforts to raise awareness. Here in Orange County, for the past 11 years, the group Latino Advocates for Education has paid tribute to Latino veterans via its annual Veteran's Day celebration.
This year, the group will be honoring Mexican American veterans of the Korean War. Event founder Frederick P. Aguirre has also spearheaded efforts to record the stories of veterans through his self-published books ("Freedom Is Not Free: Mexican Americans in the Korean War") and by encouraging Cal State Fullerton to compile oral histories in the book "Forgotten Patriots: Voices of World War II Mexican American Veterans of Southern California."
All of this is a step in the right direction as the community realizes that if our history is to be told, we must start by telling these stories ourselves.

I just saw this. I think both made good points and i strongly disagree on some points with each of them. If was funny, and entertaining. well worth downloading and keeping.
Bill is for the electoral college system and john is for a personal vote system where each persons vote counts. Bills reasoning is that the larger states with more population will carry the election.
This is the stupidest thing I heard Bill say. John should have taken Bill to the cleaners on this point but John was silent. Bill doesn't understand that it doesn't matter if there are more people in certain states or not because the states themselves dont vote. The people as a whole would be voting. It matters not that more people happen to be in some states. The choice doesn't benefit the states more than other states no matter who wins.
For those who haven't seen it, look up The Rumble 2012 from your favorite torrent site.
And that bigot Bill O'Reilly DAMN sure isn't impartial. He's a mouthpiece for people that would LOVE to restore America to the Jim Crow era. Now those were the days!! I'm so sick of this ''conservative'' and ''liberal'' crap, as noone is either 100%. Divide and conquer in full effect.

Jon Stewart is just a mouthpiece for the liberals just like Samuel L. Jackson and Jessica Alba is. So the only thing they'll do to run circles is makes lots of straw men, try to put words in his mouth, try to redefine things he says, and otherwise obfuscate any way he can to make O'Reily and the republicans look bad.
That is his job, after all.
Stewart is not an impartial comedian commentator.

He didn't get Stewart's point at all, that even though Bush is gone, his disastrous policies are STILL favored by the GOP. Their ways haven't changed, they didn't learn from Bush's mistakes. They're trying to sell the same crap under a different name.
I see it Differently.

And while there is a lot of hostility towards liberals, it's because often far too many of them are the ones who are intolerant of other people's opinions and always call everybody else a bigot and tells them to shut up and stop expressing their opinion.

Bill O'Reilly, a major influence of right wing America and Jon Stewart representing the left, are debating tonight live online. Unlike the presidential debates, this wont be a debate of attacks, but a debate about the issues, views from both sides of the coin. And Beleive me, both O'Reilly and Stweart are much smarter then Obama and Romney, so this will be worth a watch. It cost 5 dollars to watch, but the proceeds go to charity. Who knows, maybe tonight we will figure out whos ideas are better for the nation, Republicans or Democrats. Either way, I cant wait to see Bill O'Reilly get whooped.

Sturdy, great for hanging out or chewing!
posted 6 years ago
Most of the furkids love this. Some prefer it to other hideys in the cage. I have to move it around and spray the back edging with vinegar water every week because wherever the piggies are most comfortable hanging out, they potty potty potty. Sometimes they use it for chewing but mostly relaxing... even if a little TOO relaxed.
Pros: chewable, perch, hangout
Cons: Does not ventilate well between so many piggies

This was the only house our gerbils didn't destroy. They liked climing on it and sleeping in it. Plastic houses are easier to clean - but this was the most durable.
Pros: They didn't destroy it
Cons: Harder to clean

|SUBMERSIBLE CONNECTOR WITH SECONDARY SEALING DEVICE - A submersible connector has releasably mateable first and second connector units. The first connector unit has at least one electrical pin extending through a bore in a retaining base and projecting outward from the forward end of the base. The second connector unit has at least one electrical socket module which receives a forward portion of the electrical pin when the units are mated. A pin seal device is located in one of the connector units and has a through bore which engages part of the pin at least in the mated condition of the units. The seal device has a first and second seals in sealing engagement with portions of the connector units when mated, and a chamber between the seals extends over an opposing portion of the pin at least in the mated condition of the units.
|HARSH ENVIRONMENT CONNECTOR - First and second connector units each have a contact chamber with a front wall having an opening closed by a stopper. Seals in the respective openings surround and seal the stoppers prior to mating. The stopper in the first connector unit is retracted into the housing during mating while the front wall of second connector unit is retracted into its housing during mating, pushed back by the front wall of the first connector unit, separating the stoppers from the end wall openings and allowing communication between the contact chambers through a passageway defined by the aligned openings. The seals in the end walls seal the passageway during and after mating. A contact assembly in the first connector unit is mounted on a movable arm and moves transversely into alignment with the passageway for contact with a corresponding fixed contact assembly in the second connector unit as the units move into mating engagement.
|WET MATE CONNECTOR - A connector has first and second connector units, each unit incorporating an oil-filled chamber housing one or more contact elements to be joined. At least one connector unit has a face seal assembly which seals the forward end of the contact chamber in the unmated condition. The face seal assembly comprises three elements. One element is an annular elastomeric seal situated radially outward. The two other elements are inner seal elements which are pressed together radially to form a substantially disc-like shape. The resulting disc-like shaped seal fills the central, circular end face opening of the outer annular seal. As the connector units are mated, elements of the elastomeric face seal assembly are displaced, one axially, and others both axially and radially, creating an opening between the oil-filled chambers that is sealed from the outside environment.

As a Bangladeshi feminist working wife and mother, I have more than my share of explaining why I am raising my daughter to be an independent young woman instead of one who studies Bollywood movies for moral direction. Being a brown feminist mom is a daily battle, but more so with others than myself.
When the daughter you've been driving to ballet class every Saturday for 12 years tells you she wants to focus on the history of dance as her $20,000 a year university major, you might pause and point out the successful engineers you know. Most parents push academic over athletic when push comes to shove.
Dolphin parents are not authoritarian pushing parents or hovering Tiger parents (who stifle internal motivation) nor are we permissive spineless Jellyfish (who fail to cultivate impulse control), we recognize we are authority figures and use guidance, role modelling, and a balanced lifestyle to ensure the development of internal motivation, impulse control, and independence.
I could have been there. My son could have giggled for/at David. I don't know. I was yet another harried/perfect professional mum, holding it all together. Prioritizing naps over adult conversation, breastfeeding over tantrums, parenting over intellectual rigour. It would have been fine -- my kids would have been fine -- had I stayed that day.
At a time when research suggests that the average girl's self-esteem peaks at the age of nine and then plummets, '9 Ways' uncovers the root causes of the self-esteem crisis, the ways we are unknowingly contributing to it, and what we can do to ensure that every girl (and future woman) is empowered to reach her full potential.
Many moms are wakened on Mother's Day by an ominous clattering in the kitchen: your loving-hearted children preparing to surprise you with coffee or hot chocolate in bed. There's also that cinnamon toast or oatmeal positively doused with sugar. What many moms don't realize is that such meals usually come courtesy of a whole crew of children.
My mom was not an over-controlling, overbearing tiger mom. Nor was she a permissive, directionless jellyfish mom. My mom was the balance of these extremes and was firm yet flexible. She had rules and expectations -- including clearly expecting us to do well in academics with respectful behaviour. Yet, she also valued our freedom to be kids, individual passions, and independent choices.
While the fantasy surrounding Santa can be a magical experience for a child, how to deal with the consequences of explaining "how a man with infinite resources has left you with less than your peers" can become complicated and send out the wrong message about the child's worth if Santa's yearly rewards don't add up to those of their elementary counterparts.
Many moms and dads dive into research and read everything they come across. There is no right way to handle news of this nature. The moment illness strikes, life becomes split into two sections: before and after. And it's normal to yearn to get back to before. Before was a time of blissful unawareness.
As the nicotine leached out of his system, the emotional outbursts started. Think of the terrible twos except with a terrible two-year-old that could bench press you. He was like someone suffering from Tourettes Syndrome. He would just started swearing and freaking out for no reason. No, I don't want to do the dishes. No, I don't want to go to bed. No. No. No.
I am all for moms who don't take themselves too seriously -- who don't try too hard to be perfect and who accept themselves for who they are, warts and all. I am all for mothers who are 'people' first. Who love who they are and are proud to chase their dreams. Because sometimes we mamas just get lost in this parenting gig, and we wake up 25 years later and wonder who we are.
When my arms were elbow-deep in the toilet this morning, I realized something. The kids called: "Momma, can you please get me a snack?" "Mommy, find my soother!" I kept saying, "You can do it! I'll help you in a second!" After a few minutes of this, they stopped asking. It got very, very quiet. I peeked out of the bathroom.
It's already begun! School has started, so kids are getting sick. We might as well face the inevitable: at some point or other, a virus will strike at the least convenient moment. The question is, how will we handle it? Here are some suggestions for opportunities to bond with your little ones on the days you are 'stuck' at home.
Parenthood is rife with exasperating platitudes, but I've found none quite so off base as this whole "time flies" business. My son, Emile, will not be out of the house before I know it. Those first three months of his life might as well have been millennia. I could not be more grateful to find out that rather than flying away, Emile has kept my perception of time stuck in slow motion.
Parenting is tiring, and fighting your kids' natural tendencies can be exhausting. Growth and change hurt, and there's risk of lasting resentment or shut down if you push kids too hard. But learning and greatness only come with tolerance for pain, and fear, and as parents we need to use the experience our kids don't have to help them push their limits. It's our job.

IN the present chapter we continue to follow the history of France and England, considering them together in connection with the so-called "Hundred Years War" between them, and comparing the development of the royal power and national assemblies in the two countries. There is also a certain convenient coincidence in the dates and duration of reigns in the two lands at this time. During the fifty-year reign of Edward III of England there were three French kings, Philip VI, John II, and Charles V. Then the situation was reversed, and during the long reign of Charles VI in France there were three English monarchs, Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V. Finally, the reigns of Charles VII of France and Henry VI of England, which close the Hundred Years War, covered exactly the same years, 1422 to 1461.1 In considering the time of the Hundred Years War, we pass beyond the prime of medieval civilization and enter the later Middle Ages. "We pass, as it were, out of the light and truth of the thirteenth century, that wonderful, if troublous, seedtime of principles and realities, into the gorgeous, chivalrous, unreal, selfish, oppressive, and unprincipled fourteenth."
The period of the Hundred Years War
The Hundred Years War itself, however, is a rather misleading phrase. War between the kings of France and England had been chronic since the Norman conquest, and this so-called Hundred Years War made no important change in the relations between the two lands until its close, when England lost its possessions on the Continent and turned subsequently to the upbuilding of a sea power. We might, therefore, better speak of a four hundred years war from the Norman conquest to the close of the Middle Ages.____________________

unchecked (C# Reference)
The unchecked keyword is used to suppress overflow-checking for integral-type arithmetic operations and conversions.
In an unchecked context, if an expression produces a value that is outside the range of the destination type, the result is truncated. For example:
unchecked { int val = 2147483647 * 2; }
Because the calculation above is performed in an unchecked block, the fact that the result is too large for an integer is ignored, and
val is assigned the value
-2. By default, overflow detection is enabled, which has the same effect as using checked.
In the example above, had unchecked been omitted, a compilation error would occur because the expression uses constants and the result is known at compile time. The unchecked keyword also suppresses overflow detection for non-constant expressions, which otherwise result in OverflowException at runtime.
The unchecked keyword can also be used as an operator, like this:
public int UncheckedAdd(int a, int b) { return unchecked(a + b); }
This sample shows how to use the unchecked statement, using unchecked with constant expressions.
// statements_unchecked.cs using System; class TestClass { const int x = 2147483647; // Max int const int y = 2; static void Main() { int z; unchecked { z = x * y; } Console.WriteLine("Unchecked output value: {0}", z); } }
Unchecked output value: -2
For more information, see the following sections in the C# Language Specification:

Michel Brégeon is an ardent champion of the Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine terroir. All of his vineyard plantings feature inclusion of gabbro soils and rock, which are rare in vineyard land and were originally formed volcanically on the ocean floor. Brégeon ages his wines in glass-lined cuves on the lees for extended periods of time, and they still retain the freshness for which the region is known. The grapes in this bottling were sourced from 50 year old vines, and the wine was bottled in February 2012 after boasting 89 months of aging on its lees.

This was our first time staying at a B&B but Craig was super accommodating and made us feel comfortable from the get go! I can't even begin to tell you about the breakfast Jenni made us the following morning... SHOW UP HUNGRY! The house felt like you were staying in something truly historical, classy, and maybe even haunted (for the thrill seekers). I loved it and if I'm ever back in Warren, PA I will stay here again and try out a different room!!!

Quiet, safe, and cozy. We love old mini mansions and this place didn't let us down. We're probably going to go back again. Everyone, including everyone in town, really nice!

The Horton House was our first Bed & Breakfast experience and it couldn't of been more perfect. If we were to choose a favorite amenity, I would say Craig, Antonio and Jena. They were very friendly, accommodating and knew the history of the area which came in handy for our 6 days of exploring the area. Warren, PA is centrally located to many attractions: Home of Punxsutawney Phil, Allegheny National Forest, Rimrock Trail, Kinzua Dam, Kinzua Bridge, Presque Isle and Panama Rocks. When we weren't exploring nature, we were very close to area restaurants, wineries and had a fantastic experience visiting Southern Tier Brewery Company. Chatauqua Lake is just a hop, skip and a jump away where Lucille Ball was born and raised. Jamestown, NY has a museum dedicated to her life and if we had more time, we would of loved to experience but settled on viewing her childhood home in Celeron, NY. So much to do and so little time...we look forward to revisiting the area and will hopefully be able to stay at Horton House B & B. Mike & Paula Ocean City, MD

This was a great place to stay in Northwest PA. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful fall weekend during our stay, as well. The room was cozy and comfy. I am a history nerd, so staying in a house and a town with so much history to offer was a bonus for me. Craig and Antonio were very friendly and helpful during our stay, and the breakfast is amazing. I highly recommend staying at the Horton House. You won't be disappointed. Thank you.
4.4 on September 18, 2014
The bed was very comfortable, and the breakfasts were excellent. I liked the central location.
4.8 on September 03, 2014
We had a great stay at Horton House, the owners were very welcoming and friendly and the breakfasts were DELICIOUS! (sausage/bacon, cheesy eggs, pancakes, and fruit & yogurt Parfaits on first morning; sausage/bacon, eggs, caramel french toast (AMAZING) and fruit & yogurt parfaits (so good the 2nd day with slightly tart blueberries) on 2nd morning). Stayed in the Scalise room--bed was comfortable and bathroom was spacious.
4.6 on October 23, 2013
We stayed one night at the Horton House and it was outstanding. Craig is a wonderful, knowledgable proprietor and Jena cooks up an awesome breakfast.
4.0 on October 17, 2013
Excellent tour of facility on arrival. Friendly, family atmosphere. Wonderful and warm place to come "home" to after a day full of traveling and activity. The stocked and honor system refreshment area was great! I relaxed in the Library room with some great local history books and THE most comfortable reading chairs I have ever sat in. Enjoyed the grounds and location to historic district was in walking distance. A wonderful place to spend a few days and more!

Usually last minute things don't work out... so when I decided to take the ol Road King on a last minute fall foliage ride across route 6 I expected troubles. Of course the hotels were filled with gas workers. So the light bulb lit - why not do a B&B. Found I could get as far as Warren and a Google search brought me here. Wonderful. The owner responded promptly and personally to my reservation. Got there and found all just as I expected it to be. Horton House is a quaint old mansion and as such has all of the niceties of an old mansion. The accommodations were great, the place was clean, and the breakfast was satisfying. The place kept the 20's charm with all of the modern niceties of any current "hotel". And it was just a few blocks walk from the downtown. There were two nice restaurants open so I chose the Liberty Street Cafe for some pub food. Friendly folks, great selection of local microbrews on tap and a tender pork BBQ dinner that was a 9 out of 10. A nice stroll back in a very safe quiet little NWPA town completed the experience. Would DEFINITELY recommend and would stay again.

The Horton House was a great home base for us as we explored the nearby Allegheny National Forest.

The Last Word In Business
David Greene and Steve Inskeep have the Last Word in business.
All right. Today's last word in business is be careful what you ask for.
The small Indian city of Motihari is not known for much.
So when locals discovered a few years ago that the writer George Orwell was born there, they saw a tourism opportunity. Britain's Telegraph newspaper reports, locals put up a sign outside the birthplace of the author of "1984," "Animal Farm" and other books, and they asked the state government to turn that modest home into a museum.
GREENE: And this year the government agreed - but with a twist. The Orwell home will be turned into a museum for the independence leader Mahatma Gandhi.
INSKEEP: Awkward.
GREENE: Locals have protested, but the Gandhi plans are going ahead.
INSKEEP: So it won't be an Orwell museum. But the Telegraph notes it could be worse. The birthplaces of the authors Edith Wharton, Eugene O'Neill and Jack London are now all franchises of Starbucks.
And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
GREENE: And I'm David Greene.

The Guardian on Tuesday clarified and corrected a series of controversial articles it published late last year about Whisper, a mobile app designed to transmit messages anonymously.
The U.K. newspaper, which had alleged that Whisper violated users' privacy, added a paragraphs-long clarification at the top of a main article in the series. It also added a link to the clarification to other articles in the series, and removed a commentary from its website that addressed the claim. Read More »
