Why is it that whenever I reply to a thread,everybody leaves?
I am pretty new here;lurked for a couple of years before jumping on.
While it may be true that I'm no physics professor,I'm not stupid. I've lived longer than the majority of you (according to recent polls) and I do have thoughts and feelings about everything that I see in the world.From there to here,as it were,and I just don't undersatnd why you all seem to jump off as soon as I respond to a thread.
Please tell me why.
Merry Christmas.

You're such an ignorant bitch. Just like your shit with "I've went to a church for over a year now and nobody even knows my name." Look weirdo you're not that fucking important to avoid or congregate to. I've been the last poster on hundreds of threads. Not because I matter just because the thread is over or insignificant. Not because of me. Nobody cares about your words on the screen;whether they do or don't exist. Gtf over yourself- you're nothing and nobody except a plagurising whore of which makes no difference if you're live or dead or was ever born. Fucking retard.
Please verify you're human:

OTTAWA, CANADA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/30/14 -- Wi-LAN Inc. ("WiLAN" or the "Company") (TSX: WIN) (NASDAQ: WILN) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013 ended December 31, 2013. All financial information in this press release is reported in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Fourth Quarter 2013 Highlights -- Revenues of $29.2 million, exceeding guidance. -- Adjusted earnings(i) of $ 17.2 million, or 14 cents per share, exceeding guidance. -- Signed license agreements with BlackBerry, HTC, Novatel and Sierra Wireless. -- WiLAN subsidiary, Gladios, signed license agreement with Turbine, Inc. -- Acquired portfolio of semiconductor patents from IXYS CH GmbH. -- Signed agreement with Panasonic to license over 900 semiconductor patents. -- Returned $5.7 million to shareholders in dividend and share buyback payments. Fiscal Year 2013 Highlights -- Revenues of $88.2 million. -- Adjusted earnings(i) of $17.6 million, or 15 cents per share. -- Signed licenses with 17 companies, bringing the total number of companies licensed to 279. -- Signed seven licensing partnerships, bringing the total number to 17. -- Returned $25.5 million to shareholders in dividend and share buyback payments. -- Held cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $131.9 million at December 31, 2013.
"We are very pleased to have ended fiscal 2013 with a very strong fourth quarter," said Jim Skippen, President & CEO. "During the quarter, WiLAN and global technology leader, Panasonic Corporation, entered into a strategic partnership to monetize over 900 semiconductor patents. This agreement anchors our new core semiconductor licensing program and establishes a model for further collaboration with existing and potential partners."
Added Skippen, "Our determined effort overcame litigation setbacks to sign license agreements with many defendants including BlackBerry, HTC and Sierra Wireless. These agreements contributed to our strong revenues and adjusted earnings in the fourth quarter."
"Over the fiscal year, WiLAN signed license agreements with 17 companies, including Panasonic which signed a broad license to our digital TV and display patent portfolio. These license agreements generated our second highest annual bookings," commented Skippen.
Eligible Dividend
The Board of Directors has declared an eligible dividend of CDN $0.04 per common share to be paid on April 4, 2014 to shareholders of record on March 21, 2014.
WiLAN has stated previously that the Company's Board of Directors would normally consider and, if deemed appropriate, increase the quarterly dividend with the release of fourth quarter and annual financial results. As changes to the dividend policy are under consideration in the Company's ongoing strategic review, WiLAN will not be making any changes to the quarterly dividend at this time.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2013 Revenue Review
In the three month period ended December 31, 2013, WiLAN generated revenues of $29.2 million, as compared to $21.2 million in the three month period ended December 31, 2012. In the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013, WiLAN generated revenues of $88.2 million, as compared to $88.0 million in the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012.
For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013, the top 10 licensees accounted for 79 percent of revenues, whereas the top 10 accounted for 83 percent of revenues in the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2013 Operating Expense Review
In the three month period ended December 31, 2013, cost of revenue totaled $16.1 million as compared to $16.6 million in the three month period ended December 31, 2012.
For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013, cost of revenues totaled $82.2 million as compared to $55.9 million in the same period last year. The increase in expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in litigation expense, patent licensing expense as a result of an increase in staffing levels and an increased level of technical consulting services in support of litigation and patent acquisition evaluation, and amortization expense as a result of patent acquisitions completed during fiscal 2012 and 2013.
Three months ended Year ended --------------------------------------- December December December December 31, 2013 31, 2012 31, 2013 31, 2012 --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Patent licensing $ 2,411 $ 1,064 $ 6,320 $ 4,640 Litigation 4,746 8,772 45,911 25,564 Amortization of patents 8,562 6,531 28,854 24,794 Stock-based compensation 341 256 1,128 940 --------------------------------------- $ 16,060 $ 16,623 $ 82,213 $ 55,938 --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
For the three months ended December 31, 2013, litigation expenses amounted to $4.7 million compared to $8.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease in litigation for the three months ended December 31, 2013 is attributable to the conclusion of two trials and the dismissal of seven litigations as a result of licenses signed during the third and fourth quarters. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, litigation expenses amounted to $45.9 million compared to $25.6 million for the same period last year. The increase in litigation expenses is attributable to an increase in the level of litigation activities in comparison to the same period last year, including preparation for three claims construction hearings, and preparation for two trials which took place in July 2013 and October 2013. Litigation expenses are expected to vary from period to period due to the variability of litigation activities. We expect a reduction in litigation expenses in fiscal 2014 as a result of the license agreements signed during the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and the completion of the related trials.
In the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, MG&A expenses amounted to $2.9 million as compared to $3.0 million in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in spending for the three months ended December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, MG&A totaled $13.1 million as compared to $12.3 million in the same period last year. The increase in spending for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to an increase in salary costs and third party costs related to the increase in staffing levels, as well as an increase in consulting costs in support of the strategic alternatives review announced on October 30, 2013.
Three months ended Year ended --------------------------------------- December December December December 31, 2013 31, 2012 31, 2013 31, 2012 --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Marketing, general and administration costs $ 2,094 $ 2,172 $ 10,083 $ 9,007 Asset write-off related to restructuring - - - 209 Depreciation 164 114 529 489 Stock-based compensation 595 744 2,453 2,595 --------------------------------------- $ 2,853 $ 3,030 $ 13,065 $ 12,300 --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
In the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, R&D expenses were $2.8 million as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase in spending for the three months ended December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to an increase in patent management costs, principally patent prosecution and maintenance costs, as a result of the increased size and breadth of our patent portfolio and an increase in stock-based compensation expense. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, R&D totaled $9.3 million as compared to $9.0 million in the same period last year. The increase in spending for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to an increase in patent management costs, principally patent prosecution and maintenance costs, partially offset by a decrease in staffing costs related to the research function resulting from the workforce reduction undertaken in fiscal 2012.
Three months ended Year ended --------------------------------------- December December December December 31, 2013 31, 2012 31, 2013 31, 2012 --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Research $ 584 $ 488 $ 1,947 $ 3,195 Patent management 2,030 1,748 6,436 5,046 Depreciation 75 90 299 410 Stock-based compensation 138 (62) 611 359 --------------------------------------- $ 2,827 $ 2,264 $ 9,293 $ 9,010 --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
In the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred a foreign exchange loss of $1.1 million, of which $0.8 million was an unrealized foreign exchange loss, a non-cash expense. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred a foreign exchange loss of $2.5 million, of which $1.7 million was an unrealized foreign exchange loss, a non-cash expense. The unrealized foreign exchange loss recognized in the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 results from the translation of monetary accounts denominated in Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars at year end as well as the revaluation of foreign exchange contracts held at year end. At December 31, 2013, WiLAN held foreign exchange forward contracts totaling approximately $32 million which mature at various dates through to January 2015.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2013 Earnings Review
In the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, WiLAN generated adjusted earnings of $17.2 million or 14 cents per basic share as compared to $7.0 million or 6 cents per basic share, in the comparative period. The increase in adjusted earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to increased revenues. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, WiLAN generated adjusted earnings of $17.6 million or 15 cents per basic share as compared to $41.8 million or 34 cents per basic share, in the comparative period. The decrease in adjusted earnings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to higher investment in litigation and to a lesser extent, increased staff costs.
The Company's GAAP earnings amounted to earnings of $2.4 million, or 2 cents per share on a basic level, in the three month period ended December 31, 2013, as compared to a GAAP loss of $2.1 million, or 2 cents per share on a basic level, in the same period last year.
In the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company generated a GAAP loss of $18.1 million, or 15 cents per share on a basic level as compared to a GAAP loss of $14.5 million or 12 cents per share on a basic level, in the same period last year.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2013 Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review
At December 31, 2013, the Company's cash, comprised of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, totaled $131.9 million, representing a decrease of $45 million from the cash position at December 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to the returning of $25.5 million to shareholders in dividend and share buyback payments, the acquisition of patents totaling $10.3 million and $9.5 million used by operations. The Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments include T-bills, term deposits and GICs.
During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company generated $1.5 million of cash from operations and returned $5.7 million to shareholders in dividend and share buyback payments.
At December 31, 2013, approximately 11% of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short term investments were denominated in Canadian dollars.
First Quarter 2014 Financial Guidance
For the first quarter 2014 ending March 31, 2014, the Company expects revenue to be at least $22.6 million. This revenue guidance does not include the potential impact of any additional reports yet to be received, new agreements that may be signed during the balance of the first quarter of 2014 or the potential impact of any royalties identified in audits conducted by the Company. This guidance is provided prior to the completion of the first month of this fiscal quarter and as such, a number of reports that normally are submitted at or shortly after the month end have yet to be received by the Company. Quarterly revenues based on signed contracts only for the balance of fiscal 2014 are expected to be moderately below the guidance given for the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Operating expenses for the first quarter are expected to be in the range of $10.2 million to $12.2 million of which $3.0 million to $5.0 million is expected to be litigation expense. For the first quarter of 2014, and assuming no additional agreements are signed, adjusted earnings are expected to be in the range of $10.6 million to $12.6 million.
The above statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. The "Forward- looking Information" section at the end of this press release provides information on various risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. Additional information identifying risks and uncertainties relating to the Company's business are discussed in greater detail in the "Risk Factors" section of WiLAN's annual information form for the 2012 fiscal year dated March 7, 2013 (copies of which may be obtained at www.sedar.com or www.sec.gov). Financial guidance is provided to assist investors and other interested parties in understanding WiLAN's performance. The reader is cautioned that using this information for any other purpose may be inappropriate.
The Company's revenues result primarily from the licensing of intellectual property which, by its very nature, is directly affected by the timing of the closure of license agreements, the nature and extent of specific licenses including actual rates, product sales by licensees which can be subject to seasonality as well as overall market demands and the timeliness of the receipt of licensee royalty reports. In addition, certain revenues may be of a one-time nature.
The above targets for the three month period ending March 31, 2014 reflect our current business indicators and expectations and are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Due to their nature, certain income and expense items, such as significant license agreements with companies involved in current enforcement actions, brokerage opportunities, new significant litigation or defense actions that could arise during the quarter, losses on asset impairments or realized foreign exchange losses cannot be accurately forecast. Accordingly, we exclude forecasts of such items from our guidance. Actual revenues reported may exceed the revenue guidance provided due to the receipt of royalty reports, signing of new license agreements and completion of licensee audits, all after the guidance is provided.
WiLAN's imperative is to negotiate the best possible license as measured over the long-term and accordingly, the timing of actual license signings may vary from that forecasted. Actual results may vary materially from the guidance provided as a consequence of the above noted factors.

I have installed an App from the App Store called Ringtones and I have used it to create ringtones from my music. It saves the file with the .m4r extension but when I import them into iTunes they go into the music section instead of the tones. I tried renaming the files to a different name from the song in the iTunes music library but it still didn't fix the problem. How do I get them into the Tones library so I can sync them to my phone and use them as ringtones? The file shows as an m4r file and plays just fine. The program by default makes the ringtone 40 seconds long, but I saw mention of 30 seconds so I made one 29 seconds long and that didn't help either. What am I missing?
When you saved it to your computer, did you play the tones? if you didn't then try that. ringtones have to be 30 seconds or less. If you still can't get the ringtones, then play the youtube video that comes with the app.
Yes, I played the tones on my computer, they opened in iTunes and played fine, but went to the Music Library intestead of Tones.
Not sure what Youtube video you are talking about. I find none with the app nor do I see it on the app's web page. I did only get the free version so far. Is that an issue? It does not say that is a limitation on the free version and it lets me create the ringtones complete with instructions to get them to my phone through iTunes. It won't let me download any ringtones from their library though without purchasing their app.
Their support link goes to http://www.gemerix.com/ but it's a dead page. Here's the links to the free app and the paid app.
I believe you may have to do some adjustment in the info section of the file. If you go into iTunes and right click on the file and go to Get Info. You may need to change the type to ringtone and it should fix it. For some reason, it seems as though the app may not change that data set.
Did you tried to drag and drop these .m4r files to Tones section of iTunes?
My bad Jluv. I thought you were talking about this app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ringtone-designer-create-unlimited/id382373458?mt =8 I use this one and it comes with an instruction videos oh how to sync to itunes then back to your phone.
In the summary tab of the info section it already shows the file as a ringtone. The only other place I could see that this could possibly be changed is on the Options tab of the Info, and it has a "Media Kind" drop-down box, and the drop-down has Musc, Podcast, iTunes U, Audiobook and Voice Memo as selections, no ringtone. Suggestions?
Cheonweb, yes I tried to drag them to the Tones Library in iTunes. They get the red circle with the slash icon when trying to drop them in that library and of course won't copy that way.
razmee209, NP, I should have linked the App the first time. I'm certain they will sync if I can ever get them in the Tones library. :-(
I don't really understand why it would not work. Have you tried to check and see if the app developer has a support website? See if there are comments in the App store regarding the app and anyone else describing problems. Since it is saving the file as a m4r, you haven't done anything with it, so I am not sure what it does to save the file. Try changing the file extension to m4a and see if it works as a music file, then change the extension again and try to sync.
The support site no longer works, also the app didn't have great reviews.
It seems as though we can tell why it doesn't get great reviews! What if you change the extension to m4a, see if you can make an AAC version, then take that version and change the extension to m4r and see if it works. Maybe there is something wrong in the app that is corrupting the file.
Here is a clip from one of the ringtones in my iTunes library. See if there is anything glaringly different in the file that you have.
As razmee209 mentioned, and I did too in a previous post, the support link goes to a dead site. Funny thing is the reviews on the free version are bad, because of crashes, something I haven't seen and the developer said was fixed, but the reviews on the paid version are really good, but sparse. If I'm going to go the AAC version route I might as well dump the app. lol I thought about file corruption too, but if it was corrupt it shouldn't play and it does. I'm still wondering if they have something rigged with it untill you install their paid app. Their app is cheap at a $1 but I don't really want to through a dollar in the toilet if the app still *****. lol I was hoping there was a logical solution to why iTunes won't put the files where they belong, especially since I've read a ton of thread where people were having similar problems with other programs. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any.
Get the free ringtone app, that I linked in my earlier message, you'll have no problems.
Your image has a red x on it and isn't showing up, sorry.
Well, I've always clipped my ringtones myself in Audacity so I could adjust the volume if necessary. Then I save them as an AAC in iTunes and change the extension, so I'm probably not the best person to recommend anything different. Seems as though razmee209 might use something different, I know he would be willing to help.

Farmers hit out at Tesco over New Zealand lamb
The NFU wrote to all supermarkets last week to highlight that British grass-fed, spring-born lamb is now in peak season while southern hemisphere lamb, born around a year ago, is currently at the end of its season.
Mr Raymond said: "Tesco stated yesterday that 'With the large demand for lamb we cannot always guarantee consistent UK stock'. I find this comment almost as ridiculous as last September's statement from Tesco that British lamb was "not in season at the moment in the UK". I am angry and disappointed that this comes only 18 months after giving such positive undertakings on its sourcing and supply chains for red meat.
"The figures speak for themselves. The UK was self-sufficient in lamb last year and lamb numbers are even higher this year. We have more than enough lamb available.
"I believe that promoting New Zealand lamb over British, and Tesco's attempts to justify this, misleads consumers about the seasonality of lamb and sends a signal to farmers that Tesco are not prepared to promote the benefits of food produced in the UK. Why promote end of season product, which many view as inferior, over Red Tractor assured, fresh lamb produced in the fields, valleys and hills of England and Wales?
"By these actions Tesco is failing to live up to the commitments made by Philip Clarke at the NFU Conference last year that Tesco should be the best supporter of British farmers and that it wished to shorten the supply chain.
"Consumers want to buy our great British product and know when it is in peak season so it is vitally important at this time of year to give clearly-labelled, home-grown lamb pride of place, when there is a good, affordable and fresh supply on our doorstep. A YouGov survey commissioned by the NFU after the horsemeat scandal showed that 79 per cent of British people thought that British supermarkets should sell more food produced on British farms.
"This month's independent Beef & Lamb Watch results will highlight those retailers who aren't backing British farming and living up to commitments made and we will continue to meet the retailers and meat processors on a regular basis to remind them of their previous commitments on sourcing."

Here's the question you clicked on:
Evaluate the expression and interpret the work in terms of the context: f(3) Time: 3 Velocity: 96
what expression?
I need to find the inverse of f(3). The original function is below that, where the time is 3 and velocity of 96.
... so, at time = 3, the velocity is 96? ....so f(3) = 96? inverse would be... f'(96) = 3?
Is that how it works? It's that simple???
or is it t=f^-1(v)?
Yes, that is the correct notation. I was being lazy. inverses is just flipping the x and y. (easy answer)
if I plug in 3 to get 96...then when i find the inverse function (i.e. solve for 3, I need to plug in 96 to get back to 3.)
or would it be 3^-1(96)?
f isn't defined (no equation-unless you're hiding it from me.) all we know is when 3 is the input, the output is 96. the inverse f would use the 96 as the input to get 3 as the output. So... f(3) = 96 \[f ^{-1}(96) = 3\]
Oh, the equation might b3e v=f(t)=32t so the inverse of that would be t=f^-1(v)
no. v = 32t (swap v and t) t = 32v (solve for v) t/32 = v therefore, \[f ^{-1}(t) = t/32\]
ok thanks!

Who of us did not dream of zooming around town on a hoverboard after watching a time-traveling Marty McFly busting out tricks in 1989's Back to the Future 2? Well, we're still not quite there, scientifically, but you can buy an exact replica from Mattel's collector-oriented website Mattycollector.com.
For $120 — the pre-order period lasts through March 20th — you can have your very own 28″ x 8″ x 3″ hoverboard that comes with built-in sounds taken directly from the movie. If you take advantage of the early sale period, you'll also walk away with a tiny hoverboard in scale with 6-inch action figures like Mattel's DC or Ghostbusters figures. If you don't want the mini-board or won't be able to purchase until later in the year, they will also go on sale in November or December, which is when the pre-ordered ones will ship as well.

I have another small dish to add to the "Mother Tongue" Moveable Feast (on land, language, art, and storytelling). In this short excerpt from A Branch from the Lightning Tree: Ecstatic Myth and the Grace in Wilderness, Martin Shaw discusses the four years he spent living outside on a mountain in Wales:
"With zero practical experience of living outside, I made endless mistakes....Gary Snyder I was not. Axes were blunt, jeans constantly caught on barbed wire fences, snares empty.
"Dreams came nightly like rowdy bears crashing into days where I struggled to cope with hand tools, tried to light wet wood, shivered between continual extremes of hot and cold. I was a righteous mess with no apparent skills. Somewhere in this process, the threads between the human community and where I found myself grew thin. I couldn't find the vocabulary to articulate the changes I was experiencing. I felt intensely vulnerable and very lonely. What I looked for was some archaic language that would expand words and frame images so beautifully that I felt connected to human folk as well as kestrals and mud. What I found was myth.
"Myth is promiscuous, not dogmatic. It moves like a lively river through swarthy packs of reindeer, great aristocratic families, and the wild gestures of an Iranian carpet seller. Myth is not much to do with the past, but a kind of magical present that can flood our lives when the conditions are just so. It is not just the neurosis of us humans trying to fathom our place on earth, but sometimes the earth actually speaking back to us. That's why some stories can be hard to approach, they are not necessarily formed from a human point of view."

New Blue Dogs midterm strategy: Joking about Pelosi's death
posted at 1:07 pm on August 26, 2010 by Allahpundit
Well, that's one way to distance yourself from the Democratic leadership. Coming soon: Kendrick Meek guffawing about somebody cutting Harry Reid's brake lines?
Remember, though, according to the AP, it's the Republicans who are mired in an intra-party civil war.
Bright, who is facing a battle against Montgomery City Councilwoman Martha Roby this fall, joked that Pelosi might lose her own election, decide not to run for the speaker's job or otherwise not be available.
He suggested, jokingly he insisted to his audience, that Pelosi could fall ill and die in coming months. That remark drew laughter from the crowd.
Though he has a reputation as the second most independent member of Congress, he has been routinely blasted for voting for Pelosi to be speaker.
This is the guy whose ridiculous ad I flagged just yesterday for straining so hard to pander to conservatives in his Alabama district that it'd make Dale Peterson blush. He won by less than one thin point two years ago, when the big blue wave was sweeping America. Assuming he survives this year — which seems exceedingly unlikely — a party switch is now a fait accompli, right?

I was experiencing some Sciatica pain a few weeks back and it went away once I started my prenatal yoga class. If you don't have time for a class then I would recommend stretching a little each day. You can Google "Stretches to Reduce Sciatica Pain" to find some specific stretches that should help.
Thank you both for the feedback! I looked into prenatal yoga but the closest class in about an hour away so I really can't do that but I will definitly look up those stretches, and Imsheiner I would love it if DH would massage it but he can't seem to stay awake when he gets home from work

^^^ yup!^^^^
pigeon stretch. do it often, it helps a lot...you can also place some blankets under the hip of the leg you are stretching and a pillow under your arms to really lay into it for a while. Pillow between your legs whilst sleeping as well. I can still feel mine throughout the day but it doesn't cold stab me into practically falling over anymore after stretching for the past few weeks. Good luck!

In Maremma: Life and a House in Southern Tuscany
In 1997 David Leavitt and Mark Mitchell bought a house in southern Tuscany: not a villa but a dilapidated farmhouse dating from the late 1950s and abandoned for more than twenty years. In Maremma recounts their restoration of the house, as well as the gradual process by which two Americans became initiated into a part of Italy -- and a part of Italian life -- that foreigne ...more

Nice essays from an American couple who moved to Italy. There are some really lovely passages, and the authors are clearly very skilled. There were just two aspects that made me give it three stars instead of four: Initially, I didn't understand that they were essays rather than one continuous narrative, so that threw me off a bit. Once I realized that, I enjoyed the book more, but it did leave me with a feeling of vague confusion. In addition, because the book is co-authored, there are a few ch ...more

Een boek over je helemaal uit de drukke stad terugtrekken en in de natuur gaan leven op onbezoedeld Italiaans platteland. Wie droomt er niet van? Ik niet meer in elk geval. Hoe geweldig het ook moet zijn om die droom waar te maken, het hele relaas op papier zetten, levert niet noodzakelijk een goed verhaal.

I'd never read anything by Leavitt before, but I like travel narrative (including expat memoir), so thought I'd try this one. He writes very well, though not sure if I'd rush to read any fiction of his; their acceptance as a gay couple a generation ago was a plus to hear about.

Nice flow - could be a guide book on how to move to Tuscany, renovate a 'barn' into a home with local expertise, learn a new culture and discover a new world - only encouraged my fanatsy - Salute' Italia!!!!!!

I will be generous and give this three stars. This is a book of mini essays (usually 2-4 pages) about the authors' lives in their house in Tuscany. Unlike many of these Italy memoir books, they devote little time to house reconstruction. Most of these essays are about their impressions of Italians' behaviors. There was some interesting information here, but not much on things to see or do in Italy. I am not really sure what the point of the book is.
Leavitt is a graduate of Yale University and a professor at the University of Florida, where he is the co-director of the creative writing program. He is also the editor of Subtropics magazine, The University of Florida's literary review.More about David Leavitt...
Leavitt, who is openly gay, has frequently explored gay issues in his work. He divides his time between Florida and Tuscany, Italy.

Bought it from a local retailer. Software bricked in just a week. submitted to service centre and response was to change motherboard and might take a month or more to be return from company after repair. Such a poor and negative response from service centre and negligiency after the time and value of customer. I have to switch to samsung or motorola because of there excellent after sales. Remark : SAMSUNG, NOKIA AND MOTOROLA HAVE BETTER AFTER SALES AND PRIORITISE IT BEFORE OTHER BRANDS.

A British circus owner was given a conditional discharge for causing unnecessary suffering to an Asian elephant by keeping her chained up and allowing a handler to beat her.
Bobby Roberts, 69, was convicted of three counts of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.
Northampton Crown Court heard that Anne, an arthritic, 58-year-old elephant was kept tethered to the ground by one front leg and one back leg at all times.
Roberts failed to give Anne her arthritis medicine and to prevent a handler from repeatedly beating the animal. Roberts told the court he would never have condoned the beatings.
Secret film of the beatings taken by rights group Animal Defenders International (ADI) formed a key part of the prosecution case.
Roberts's wife Moira, 75, was cleared of the same three charges following a five-day trial. Both she and her husband had denied the charges.
The Press Association reported that District Judge David Chinnery told Bobby Roberts he recognised that he had not directly inflicted the suffering, adding that he had cared for animals "for the greater part of your 70 years without criticism from any quarter.
"No cruelty was administered by your own hand. The chaining I regard as serious but the real cruelty it seems to me was inflicted by your groom, a man whom you had entrusted with the care of Anne, behind your back and without your knowledge."
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) issued a statement after the verdict.
"Today should serve as a warning that those who mistreat animals can expect to face prosecution," it said.
But ADI was disappointed with the sentence.
"Despite the considerable suffering caused to Anne the elephant, the sentencing meted out to Mr Roberts is derisory and provides no faith that the Animal Welfare Act can protect animals in circuses," ADI Chief Executive Jan Creamer said in a statement.
In April 2011, as a result of the secret filming, Anne was taken away from the Super Circus in Polebrook, Northamptonshire owned by Roberts, and re-homed at a safari park.
She was born in the wild in Sri Lanka in 1954, the ADI website said. In 2001 her offspring Janie and Beverly died suddenly, leaving Anne alone, the website added.
