Hi there, we're SAS the airline of Scandinavia. If you want to make travel easier when flying with us, you've got to download our app. Besides booking your flight, you can also book your hotel and find out more about your destinations. When you've completed a booking you simply add your flight to your calendar and check on the airport maps – so you know where to go. Checking in is super simple and you'll get your boarding pass straight away, accessible even if not connected. For our frequent flyers we've integrated EuroBonus and Travel Pass in our app. The app does not support booking in the US. There is a lot more to check out, so just download it and get ready! SAS makes travel easy. Enjoy!
Mobile Boarding Pass Unable to save mobile boarding pass in google now cards. This function is much better in iOS wallet.
This is one of the worst airline apps around! You get a preview of bad coding during the registration process, as no information is reused, so even though I register via the app on my phone, it does not know the phone number, or anything else from my phone. The phone number field does not autofill the + sign, so you are allowed to enter your phone number withe the assumption the app knows your country code. Nope - you have to find out yourself that you must add country code. Unfortunately this is the experience throughout the app. The app sent me an alert I could now check-in, but as I check in, the first name and last name are not recognized, as they are autofilled by the app in UPPER case, and this is not accepted (!). Only when I fill inn with upper and lower case am I allowed to continue only to receive a message stating I cannot check in online!! When I check in via a web browser (Chrome), I am presented with a field not in the app: Sex, and when this field is filled in I am checked in and receive a boarding pass. So yet another inconsistency with usage of known data - sex is already on my ticket reservation! This app is really immature and basically useless!
Request failed... ...seems to be the favourite words of this app. Soo often it just don't update. Eg. Changed a booking two day ago. Got the confirmation on email. However the app still shows the old travel dates for the booking and refuses to update. Well it's only on a 100/50Mbit WiFi, so what to expect.
Wrong ticket type My friend bought me a ticket, app was showing "sas go" type ticket but at checkin they told me its "sas go light" and had to pay 66 euro for luggage. Great app to steal money :)
Totally misleading and massive discrepancies with the main website!! Main website is a mess, non-existent customer service!! Do not rely on this,people out there!! Useless!!

Apple AirPort Express wireless base station
New Airport Express a tiny Wi-Fi base station powerhouse
- Excellent value
- Compact for travel
- AirTunes audio streaming
- Lower throughput than Extreme and Time Capsule
- No Gigabit Ethernet ports
Bottom Line
For the money, the Express makes an effective base station for modestly sized apartments or homes, or where access is only needed in a few adjacent rooms in an office. This sleek model is the right choice for many, and at $80 less than the AirPort Extreme, a prudent one as well.
Price$ 119.00 (AUD)
The redesigned 2012 model of the AirPort Express Wi-Fi base station has become the mouse that roars. The revisions transform this model into a tiny powerhouse by adding to its previous modest attributes a second ethernet port, simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi, and a guest network option all in a form factor identical to the Apple TV (except white and an ounce lighter).
Note: this is a US review of the AirPort Express, which originally appeared on Macworld.com.
At $119, the AirPort Express might serve an entire apartment or single-floor home, or act as a main base station to which other base stations are chained via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, where previously the $199 AirPort Extreme base station would be required. The Express uses the same configuration tools and options as its bigger siblings, the Extreme and Time Capsule. In testing, performance and throughput are in line with those models.
It's extremely difficult to offer generically useful advice when testing the range for a base station, because every home and office varies in what blocks or reflects wireless signals. The new Express provided excellent signal strength across my 90-year-old house, which requires three base stations to cover its modest size due to materials in walls and the floor between the main story and basement that block signals. The Express compares favorably to two different models of Extreme in use in the same house. As with all base stations, you may need to try out an Express, and even move it to different locations, to determine if it can cover the area you need. (Try the free NetSpot mapping program to help with that task.)
While any Wi-Fi device may connect to an AirPort Express network, Apple only allows configuration via AirPort Utility, whether on iOS, Windows, or Mac OS X in Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion. Apple currently has two chains of utility software in Mac OS X to provide legacy support for features it removed in a software revision, but which are still available in hardware. With Leopard and Snow Leopard, AirPort Utility 5.6.1 must be installed to configure an AirPort Express; with Lion, the minimum version is now 6.1. (While Lion can still use 5.6.0 to access features in all previous 802.11n base stations, those released from 2007 to 2011, 6.1 is absolutely required for the new Express, and Lion can't use 5.6.1.)
Simultaneous dual-band
While the previous AirPort Express (2008) supported 802.11n networking, you had to make a choice to set the Express to use either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band available for 802.11n, not both at the same time (known as simultaneous dual-band).
All older 802.11b and 802.11g gear can connect only using 2.4GHz channels. This is also true of a fairly large amount of newer equipment that supports 802.11n, but only for 2.4 GHz connections, which includes all iPhones and iPod touch models with 802.11n, many smartphone and handhelds, and even some newer computers. All iPad models, the Apple TV, and all Mac models released since 2006 can use either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. (The 5GHz band offers much greater throughput but only at closer distances than 2.4GHz.)
Having both bands available at once in the 2012 AirPort Express (a feature added in 2009 to the Extreme and Time Capsule models) allows your network to perform at the highest possible speeds no matter how distant a device is from the base station while it remains in range of a signal. That's a significant improvement, and makes the Express a much better value, especially compared with equipment from competing manufacturers, such as Linksys. Competitors have offered relatively inexpensive simultaneous dual-band gateways for years, but those models lack Mac-specific features, such as Wake on Demand.
Two streams
The AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule models (since 2009) have one advantage in the radio department over the Express. In 802.11n, the radio system can use varying amounts of power across the multiple antennas used to send out data to "steer" a signal (think of multiple cue sticks hitting a pool ball to control how it caroms), and create separate data streams at full throughput across different paths in space. The Express has two streams, while the Extreme and Time Capsule offer three.
This approach allows a three-stream router, like the Extreme, to have an effective raw throughput of 450 Mbps in 5GHz and 225 Mbps in 2.4GHz, while the Express is limited to 300 Mbps and 150 Mbps, respectively. In practice, the net throughput might be just 10 to 30 percent higher for an Extreme or Time Capsule over an Express (say 130 Mbps instead of 100 Mbps), and if you're that concerned about throughput, you may need to use wired connections in any case. Apple's AFP file-sharing typically peaks at much lower rates than these maximum data rates.
The additional antennas required and the additional stream also fill in hard-to-reach spaces with better Wi-Fi coverage. For larger homes or offices, or ones that have dead areas with an Express or other Wi-Fi gear, the Extreme or Time Capsule may be required.
Ethernet connectivity
The AirPort Express once had a single ethernet port, making it useful only to extend networks via ethernet if it were plugged into a broadband modem. Older models could also extend an existing Apple wireless network (that feature still exists) and use the single ethernet port to provide access to wired machines. The new second ethernet port opens up the Express by allowing both a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection to a broadband modem or a larger network, and a Local Area Network (LAN) connection to a computer via ethernet, or to an ethernet switch to which many computers and devices can be connected.
The Time Capsule and Extreme each have a built-in three-port gigabit ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) switch, while the Express continues to use 10/100 Mbps ethernet on both its WAN and LAN ports. However, the 100 Mbps limit doesn't affect data exchanges between Wi-Fi devices, which work at the maximum wireless rates available, and it's easy enough to plug in an inexpensive gigabit ethernet switch to allow the fastest throughput between wired devices.
Only two particular situations require an Extreme or Time Capsule because of the ethernet limitation: if you have a broadband connection of faster than 100 Mbps, which is uncommon, but becoming more widely available; or you are determined to have the maximum possible throughput between ethernet and Wi-Fi devices on the same network.
More features
Guest networking has also been added, which allows a second virtual network with a unique network name (SSID) and security scheme to be available to visitors or others without providing access to the main network. Guest users can't sniff or have access to Bonjour resources (like shared printers or file servers) or other traffic on the main network, either. This has been in Apple's full-sized base stations for years, and it's a nice feature to find in the $119 model.
Apple also brings over the option from the other simultaneous dual-band gateways of naming the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks separately. That lets you choose to have a device connect to one band or another if it has the option of connecting to either. On some combinations of devices and networks, it can be useful to force 5 GHz for throughput or 2.4 GHz for range.
The Express continues to have a unique option in the Wi-Fi base station line-up, which is a dual-function analog and digital optical (Toslink) port which lets it be a target for AirPlay audio streaming from iTunes on a Mac or Windows system and from any capable app in iOS. (Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil extends AirPlay streaming to any audio output in Mac OS X or under Windows.)
Previous models had an integral two-prong power plug (in 110-volt countries) that allowed them to hang directly off a wall outlet or fit into a power strip. The base station was heavy enough that it could easily fall off the outlet, and locating it by an outlet or a power strip could often mean that signals were blocked by furniture. A separate cord with a three-prong plug was only available as part of a $US39 A/V kit. The 2012 Express (in the U.S. edition at least) has a 6.5-foot (200 cm) long two-prong cable that allows it to be more easily placed. It's also attractive enough, unlike the unit it replaced, to sit on top of a TV cabinet or table.
The 2012 Express, just like the two preceding models, can only share a single USB printer using Bonjour. The Extreme and Time Capsule use Bonjour sharing for a printer or hard drive (via AFP and Samba) through a USB port, but also allow the use of a USB hub to share multiple devices.
Macworld's buying advice
The quibbles about USB and ethernet are relatively minor compared to the features available in this mighty mite. For the money, the Express makes an effective base station for modestly sized apartments or homes, or where access is only needed in a few adjacent rooms in an office. This sleek model is the right choice for many, and at $80 less than the AirPort Extreme, a prudent one as well.
Glenn Fleishman, a senior contributor to Macworld, wrote a book about using Wi-Fi with Apple hardware called "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network." The third edition is updated for Lion, AirPort Utility 6, and the iOS AirPort Utility app.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Outstanding 4.7 /5 from 16 reviews
Enjoyed the quiet and slower pace. A great place to get away!
very pleasant and enjoyable.
Absolutely the best in the area
Stayed for two nights, Saturday and Sunday, second time we have stayed and second time we loved our stay. Beautiful building and lovely rooms with amazing views. The restaurant seems to be quiet but exceptional service and food. A couple of minor downsides. The hotel is very popular for weddings (I can see why!) but this means that it can be quite noisy some nights. Not much seating or sun loungers near the pool so if there is a forementioned wedding party there is a very slim chance of a spot around the pool. Parking might be tight aswell!
My husband and I visited this area at a friend's recommendation and were delighted to discover the Abruzzo region. This hotel is found in a small town in the historic centre and provides a wonderful view over the area. The standard bedroom was huge , comfortable, light with a very adequate bathroom. Public lounge area was impressive with a charming obliging drinks waiter at the bar. Reception staff went out of their way to help us and even volunteered to act as interpreter for us at a meeting with the relative of our friend for over an hour .Great base for exploring the area. Internet access in public area only was a bit frustrating and breakfast was good but not great however for the price we considered it great value. Make sure you visit restaurants in the surrounding area esp Michelin star restaurants as excellent value in this part of the world as well as the Agritourism restaurants. Drive up to the hotel entrance may seem a bit daunting but parking pretty easy when we were there.

Skip to comments.Romneys Vicious Attack Ads Against Conservatives May Doom Romney Now or in November
Posted on 04/04/2012 7:34:47 PM PDT by VinL
click here to read article
I'm in, until Newt is out.
Willard needs to hire S! as VP.
From a related article by Byron York—
"Another woman, Whitney Riley of Sparks, Maryland, held a $50 check made out to Newt.org as she waited in line to meet Gingrich at the car dealership. On the line noting the check's purpose, Riley had written, "We the people thank you."
Of those donors, Gingrich says, "We owe it to them to not take a dive."
"To not drop out?"
Newt's not quitting.
Not even Sarah could make this guy palatable to conservatives.
Romney's ads will play just fine against Obama.
Boy has he got it right concerning Mitt.
It will come back to haunt him.
Many people won't vote for him, even though they are hectored by GOP-E types, because of the character assasination he practices on both Rick and Newt.
In fact, a lot of the very people he needs to support him and work for him to get out the vote, won't just not be working to help get out the vote, they won't even be voting for him.
This is what amazes me. How can Romney win over and over with such disgusting tactics? You'd think that by now people would tune out and stop voting for him. It makes me wonder who his voters are...democrats? Communists? What? For Republicans to run to the nastiest man on the block tells me that something is not quite kosher. That, in spite of the revelations coming out about his record in MA, his conniving to get gay marriage in MA. This and his pro-abortion stance, etc. How can he be winning the conservative vote? Now, that just floors me!
I was told huff-n-puff was glorious.
I am thinking of sitting out the election this year, as I am becoming more and more convince that he and obamma are bosom buddies.
the Romney people and the GOP insiders can go screw themselves. They are vermin.
I am only supporting selected conservative candidates. The rest of them conservatives should not give a crap about.
I am so F@@@@@@ sick of thos cponservatoive utoppianism$ we need to defeat Obama. Period. We don't need a hero. We need ANYONE who will dave us from. Obama. Wake up freepers.
The Willard has removed all doubt as to the depth of his abject moral turpitude. He is absolute scum. If The Willard somehow forestalls an open convention - the chimpanzee wins by ten points. For the good of the republic, The Willard should throw his support to a true conservative candidate.
I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall during the meeting between Mitt and Newt and also during the meeting between Rick and Newt.
This thing is far from over, especially if Newt and Rick team up. That may happen. Time will tell.

This is all a bunch of crybabies who want us forget the real electoral target is Obama.
I dont care who they put on the ticker- still cant be as bad as the con man we have in there now
Why are people voting for this weenie?
I dont care who they put on the ticker- still cant be as bad as the con man we have in there now
Mitt and the GOP have run off all the real talent.
We are screwed unless we get a contested convention.
I'd prefer the Republican nominee to be Newt but at the end of the day I don't care who it is. I'll vote for any of them.
"Many people wont vote for him"
If he gets it, I will never put a Romney bumper sticker on or help put up signs.
But, what can we do? Obama must be replaced or the nation will not survive.
In 2009 Romney said we conservatives will not let 'unelected' judges....wow does that sound familiar to what Obama said in 2012..?
Wasn't he the worst of all 8 who started out? Me thinks. Who are the GOP primary voters? I don't want to meet them!
I have never stayed out of an election before...It's hard but, I think God will decide this one.
Please!!!!!! Sarah Palin wouldn't get in the same zip code, much less the same room with such scum as The Willard. Sarah Palin's name should never be mentioned in any connection, however slight, with a low coward and unprincipled traitor like The Willard. How weak must he be to get beaten like a cheap mule in the general election? More than ten points, that's how weak.
The most aggravating thing is that you just know he won't do the same thing to Obama, yet there's so much material to work with. (that's if he gets the nomination)
Can see why Sorass likes hime...NO?
I cannot consider someone who won't vote for the Republican nominee against Barack Obama to be a conservative or a patriot.
Predictably Predictable
I can't agree more. I find the idea that some VP nominee will suddenly set the base ablaze a bit hard to imagine if not downright insulting to those of us who see Romney as a pandering fraud. I mean how shallow and stupid we all must be. Talk about contempt for the base.
Any party with the Etch-A-Sketch candidate as its leader is no party of mine. I can not stand the sight of the man.
One of the problems about reading this site is you start thinking that all GOP'ers think like people here. Bad news is they don't! There is a surprisingly large number of GOP'ers who have bought into the GOP elite line regarding Romney. Superficially Romney makes sense. In 2008 I bought into the notion that Romney was more conservative then McCain. (Probably my dislike for McCain biased my viewpoint!) My 80 year long time GOP Parents (GOP party workers and former local & state officials!) are pro-Romney and refuge to consider anything negative about him! At work a majority of GOP'ers I know are pro-Romney and why 'all others are too radical or too mean and Romney is electable'. Contrary facts and arguments don't fly, so I have given up discussing it with them.
I don't trust this guy
At this point I'll vote for the nominee and and elect anyone I can in the house and senate to keep them honest.
This country won't survive4 more years of Obama.
He has made it clear that he will go scorched earth on us if he wins again.
You don't want to see BO become BTO singing "You aint seen nothin yet"
Running against a lying moronic ignoramus communist Muslim [who is mentally ill] is pretty simple. Just put the description of the WH occupier in every Republican and PAC advertizement
BTW: I hope all conservatives are campaigning and voting in their respective Republican primaries for the real conservative if the incumbent is a RINO.
Well we sure as hell don't have one in Romney!
It looks pretty bleak regardless of the nominee.
That is why the house and SENATE are so important.
Mark Levin was covering this tonight. 91% of Romney ad dollars went to smearing GOP candidates and not promoting himself or bashing Obummer. What a swell guy. What burns me is that the GOPe is going to blame Conservatives that it is our unwillingness to roll over and allow Milt to be the nominee now that is damaging to the party. BS. Romney is the one who has singlehandedly destroyed party unity and any good will towards him. He can screw.
No they won't. Been here before, the press will start hammering the negative thing over and over again until Romney can't use his attack ads. There will be polls saying the people are sick of negative campaigning (which by the way is true) and the attack ads will be impossible to run.
So what does Romney do then? How does he campaign when his Alinsky ads are gone?

A collection of O. Henry–esque stories from British author Archer (Sons of Fortune, 2003, etc.).
The prolific author of novels, plays and screenplays returns to the story format with this book of whimsical, sometimes ironic pieces. Some work, some don't, but even the least of these is entertaining. The title, taken from a line penned by Shakespeare, sets up the premise of the book, which opens with the tale of a young man betrothed to a beautiful woman who is clearly above his station. After he successfully proposes, she in turn proposes an endeavor that tests their relationship, as well as his mettle. This story, like the others, is designed to give the reader a bit of an O. Henry moment and hinges on the idea that nothing is as it seems. "Better the Devil You Know" is a particularly satisfying tale in which an evil, ailing corporate mogul is given a second chance at life, while an innocent pays the price. In the end, though, true to Archer's theme, someone gets an unexpected and unpalatable comeuppance. There is nothing in this collection that will stick with readers once the covers close. It's not great art, but it is great, slightly old-fashioned entertainment, marked by simplicity and unpretentiousness—that's good enough to turn someone who doesn't normally read short stories into a fan of the genre.
This is the ideal book to pop into a bag or keep in the car and carry to pass the time, since the stories are short, easy to read and simple.

And Thereby Hangs a Tale
By Jeffrey Archer
St. Martin's PressCopyright © 2010 Jeffrey Archer
All rights reserved.
Jeremy looked across the table at Arabella and still couldn't believe she had agreed to be his wife. He was the luckiest man in the world.
She was giving him the shy smile that had so entranced him the first time they met, when a waiter appeared by his side. "I'll have an espresso," said Jeremy, "and my fiancée" — it still sounded strange to him — "will have a mint tea."
"Very good, sir."
Jeremy tried to stop himself looking round the room full of "at home" people who knew exactly where they were and what was expected of them, whereas he had never visited the Ritz before. It became clear from the waves and blown kisses from customers who flitted in and out of the morning room that Arabella knew everyone, from the maître d' to several of "the set," as she often referred to them. Jeremy sat back and tried to relax.
They'd first met at Ascot. Arabella was inside the royal enclosure looking out, while Jeremy was on the outside, looking in; that was how he'd assumed it would always be, until she gave him that beguiling smile as she strolled out of the enclosure and whispered as she passed him, "Put your shirt on Trumpeter." She then disappeared off in the direction of the private boxes.
Jeremy took her advice, and placed twenty pounds on Trumpeter — double his usual wager — before returning to the stands to see the horse romp home at 5–1. He hurried back to the royal enclosure to thank her, at the same time hoping she might give him another tip for the next race, but she was nowhere to be seen. He was disappointed, but still placed fifty pounds of his winnings on a horse the Daily Express tipster fancied. It turned out to be a nag that would be described in tomorrow's paper as an "also-ran."
Jeremy returned to the royal enclosure for a third time in the hope of seeing her again. He searched the paddock full of elegant men dressed in morning suits with little enclosure badges hanging from their lapels, all looking exactly like each other. They were accompanied by wives and girlfriends adorned in designer dresses and outrageous hats, desperately trying not to look like anyone else. Then he spotted her, standing next to a tall, aristocratic-looking man who was bending down and listening intently to a jockey dressed in red-and-yellow hooped silks. She didn't appear to be interested in their conversation and began to look round. Her eyes settled on Jeremy and he received that same friendly smile once again. She whispered something to the tall man, then walked across the enclosure to join him at the railing.
"I hope you took my advice," she said.
"Sure did," said Jeremy. "But how could you be so confident?"
"It's my father's horse."
"Should I back your father's horse in the next race?"
"Certainly not. You should never bet on anything unless you're sure it's a certainty. I hope you won enough to take me to dinner tonight?"
If Jeremy didn't reply immediately, it was only because he couldn't believe he'd heard her correctly. He eventually stammered out, "Where would you like to go?"
"The Ivy, eight o'clock. By the way, my name's Arabella Warwick." Without another word she turned on her heel and went back to join her set.
Jeremy was surprised Arabella had given him a second look, let alone suggested they should dine together that evening. He expected that nothing would come of it, but as she'd already paid for dinner, he had nothing to lose.
Arabella arrived a few minutes after the appointed hour, and when she entered the restaurant, several pairs of male eyes followed her progress as she made her way to Jeremy's table. He had been told they were fully booked until he mentioned her name. Jeremy rose from his place long before she joined him. She took the seat opposite him as a waiter appeared by her side.
"The usual, madam?"
She nodded, but didn't take her eyes off Jeremy.
By the time her Bellini had arrived, Jeremy had begun to relax a little. She listened intently to everything he had to say, laughed at his jokes, and even seemed to be interested in his work at the bank. Well, he had slightly exaggerated his position and the size of the deals he was working on.
After dinner, which was a little more expensive than he'd anticipated, he drove her back to her home in Pavilion Road, and was surprised when she invited him in for coffee, and even more surprised when they ended up in bed.
Jeremy had never slept with a woman on a first date before. He could only assume that it was what "the set" did, and when he left the next morning, he certainly didn't expect ever to hear from her again. But she called that afternoon and invited him over for supper at her place. From that moment, they hardly spent a day apart during the next month.
What pleased Jeremy most was that Arabella didn't seem to mind that he couldn't afford to take her to her usual haunts, and appeared quite happy to share a Chinese or Indian meal when they went out for dinner, often insisting that they split the bill. But he didn't believe it could last, until one night she said, "You do realize I'm in love with you, don't you, Jeremy?"
Jeremy had never expressed his true feelings for Arabella. He'd assumed their relationship was nothing more than what her set would describe as a fling. Not that she'd ever introduced him to anyone from her set. When he fell on one knee and proposed to her on the dance floor at Annabel's, he couldn't believe it when she said yes.
"I'll buy a ring tomorrow," he said, trying not to think about the parlous state of his bank account, which had turned a deeper shade of red since he'd met Arabella.
"Why bother to buy one, when you can steal the best there is?" she said.
Jeremy burst out laughing, but it quickly became clear Arabella wasn't joking. That was the moment he should have walked away, but he realized he couldn't if it meant losing her. He knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with this beautiful and intoxicating woman, and if stealing a ring was what it took, it seemed a small price to pay.
"What type shall I steal?" he asked, still not altogether sure that she was serious.
"The expensive type," she replied. "In fact, I've already chosen the one I want." She passed him a De Beers catalog. "Page forty-three," she said. "It's called the Kandice Diamond."
"But have you worked out how I'm going to steal it?" asked Jeremy, studying a photograph of the faultless yellow diamond.
"Oh, that's the easy part, darling," she said. "All you'll have to do is follow my instructions."
Jeremy didn't say a word until she'd finished outlining her plan.
That's how he had ended up in the Ritz that morning, wearing his only tailored suit, a pair of Links cufflinks, a Cartier Tank watch and an old Etonian tie, all of which belonged to Arabella's father.
"I'll have to return everything by tonight," she said, "otherwise Pa might miss them and start asking questions."
"Of course," said Jeremy, who was enjoying becoming acquainted with the trappings of the rich, even if it was only a fleeting acquaintance.
The waiter returned, carrying a silver tray. Neither of them spoke as he placed a cup of mint tea in front of Arabella and a pot of coffee on Jeremy's side of the table.
"Will there be anything else, sir?"
"No, thank you," said Jeremy with an assurance he'd acquired during the past month.
"Do you think you're ready?" asked Arabella, her knee brushing against the inside of his leg while she once again gave him the smile that had so captivated him at Ascot.
"I'm ready," said Jeremy, trying to sound convincing.
"Good. I'll wait here until you return, darling." That same smile. "You know how much this means to me."
Jeremy nodded, rose from his place, and, without another word, walked out of the morning room, across the corridor, through the swing doors, and out onto Piccadilly. He placed a stick of chewing gum in his mouth, hoping it would help him to relax. Normally Arabella would have disapproved, but on this occasion she had recommended it. He stood nervously on the pavement and waited for a gap to appear in the traffic, then nipped across the road, coming to a halt outside De Beers, the largest diamond merchant in the world. This was his last chance to walk away. He knew he should take it, but just the thought of her made it impossible.
He rang the doorbell, which made him aware that his palms were sweating. Arabella had warned him that you couldn't just stroll into De Beers as if it was a supermarket, and that if they didn't like the look of you, they would not even open the door. That was why he had been measured for his first hand-tailored suit and acquired a new silk shirt, and was wearing Arabella's father's watch, cufflinks, and old Etonian tie. "The tie will ensure that the door is opened immediately," Arabella had told him, "and once they spot the watch and the cufflinks, you'll be invited into the private salon, because by then they'll be convinced you're one of the rare people who can afford their wares."
Arabella turned out to be correct, because when the doorman appeared, he took one look at Jeremy and immediately unlocked the door.
"Good morning, sir. How may I help you?"
"I was hoping to buy an engagement ring."
"Of course, sir. Please step inside."
Jeremy followed him down a long corridor, glancing at photographs on the walls that depicted the history of the company since its foundation in 1888. Once they had reached the end of the corridor, the doorman melted away, to be replaced by a tall, middle-aged man wearing a well-cut dark suit, a white silk shirt, and a black tie.
"Good morning, sir," he said, giving a slight bow. "My name is Crombie," he added, before ushering Jeremy into his private lair. Jeremy walked into a small, well-lit room. In the center was an oval table covered in a black velvet cloth, with comfortable-looking leather chairs on either side. The assistant waited until Jeremy had sat down before he took the seat opposite him.
"Would you care for some coffee, sir?" Crombie inquired solicitously.
"No, thank you," said Jeremy, who had no desire to hold up proceedings any longer than necessary, for fear he might lose his nerve.
"And how may I help you today, sir?" Crombie asked, as if Jeremy were a regular customer.
"I've just become engaged ..."
"Many congratulations, sir."
"Thank you," said Jeremy, beginning to feel a little more relaxed. "I'm looking for a ring, something a bit special," he added, still sticking to the script.
"You've certainly come to the right place, sir," said Crombie, and pressed a button under the table.
The door opened immediately, and a man in an identical dark suit, white shirt, and dark tie entered the room.
"The gentleman would like to see some engagement rings, Partridge."
"Yes, of course, Mr. Crombie," replied the porter, and disappeared as quickly as he had arrived.
"Good weather for this time of year," said Crombie as he waited for the porter to reappear.
"Not bad," said Jeremy.
"No doubt you'll be going to Wimbledon, sir."
"Yes, we've got tickets for the women's semifinals," said Jeremy, feeling rather pleased with himself, remembering that he'd strayed off script.
A moment later, the door opened and the porter reappeared carrying a large oak box which he placed reverentially in the center of the table, before leaving without uttering a word. Crombie waited until the door had closed before selecting a small key from a chain that hung from the waistband of his trousers, unlocking the box and opening the lid slowly to reveal three rows of assorted gems that took Jeremy's breath away. Definitely not the sort of thing he was used to seeing in the window of his local H. Samuel.
It was a few moments before he fully recovered, and then he remembered Arabella telling him he would be presented with a wide choice of stones so the salesman could estimate his price range without having to ask him directly.
Jeremy studied the box's contents intently, and after some thought selected a ring from the bottom row with three perfectly cut small emeralds set proud on a gold band.
"Quite beautiful," said Jeremy as he studied the stones more carefully. "What is the price of this ring?"
"One hundred and twenty-four thousand, sir," said Crombie, as if the amount was of little consequence.
Jeremy placed the ring back in the box, and turned his attention to the row above. This time he selected a ring with a circle of sapphires on a white-gold band. He removed it from the box and pretended to study it more closely before asking the price.
"Two hundred and sixty-nine thousand pounds," replied the same unctuous voice, accompanied by a smile that suggested the customer was heading in the right direction.
Jeremy replaced the ring and turned his attention to a large single diamond that lodged alone in the top row, leaving no doubt of its superiority. He removed it and, as with the others, studied it closely. "And this magnificent stone," he said, raising an eyebrow. "Can you tell me a little about its provenance?"
"I can indeed, sir," said Crombie. "It's a flawless, eighteen-point-four carat cushion-cut yellow diamond that was recently extracted from our Rhodes mine. It has been certified by the Gemmological Institute of America as a Fancy Intense Yellow, and was cut from the original stone by one of our master craftsmen in Amsterdam. The stone has been set on a platinum band. I can assure sir that it is quite unique, and therefore worthy of a unique lady."
Jeremy had a feeling that Mr. Crombie might just have delivered that line before. "No doubt there's a quite unique price to go with it." He handed the ring to Crombie, who placed it back in the box.
"Eight hundred and fifty-four thousand pounds," he said in a hushed voice.
"Do you have a loupe?" asked Jeremy. "I'd like to study the stone more closely." Arabella had taught him the word diamond merchants use when referring to a small magnifying glass, assuring him that it would make him sound as if he regularly frequented such establishments.
"Yes, of course, sir," said Crombie, pulling open a drawer on his side of the table and extracting a small tortoiseshell loupe. When he looked back up, there was no sign of the Kandice Diamond, just a gaping space in the top row of the box.
"Do you still have the ring?" he asked, trying not to sound concerned.
"No," said Jeremy. "I handed it back to you a moment ago."
Without another word, the assistant snapped the box closed and pressed the button below his side of the table. This time he didn't indulge in any small talk while he waited. A moment later, two burly, flat-nosed men who looked as if they'd be more at home in a boxing ring than De Beers entered the room. One remained by the door while the other stood a few inches behind Jeremy.
"Perhaps you'd be kind enough to return the ring," said Crombie in a firm, flat, unemotional voice.
"I've never been so insulted," said Jeremy, trying to sound insulted.
"I'm going to say this only once, sir. If you return the ring, we will not press charges, but if you do not —"
"And I'm going to say this only once," said Jeremy, rising from his seat. "The last time I saw the ring was when I handed it back to you."
Jeremy turned to leave, but the man behind him placed a hand firmly on his shoulder and pushed him back down into the chair. Arabella had promised him there would be no rough stuff as long as he cooperated and did exactly what they told him. Jeremy remained seated, not moving a muscle. Crombie rose from his place and said, "Please follow me."
One of the heavyweights opened the door and led Jeremy out of the room, while the other remained a pace behind him. At the end of the corridor they stopped outside a door marked PRIVATE. The first guard opened the door and they entered another room which once again contained only one table, but this time it wasn't covered in a velvet cloth. Behind it sat a man who looked as if he'd been waiting for them. He didn't invite Jeremy to sit, as there wasn't another chair in the room.
"My name is Granger," the man said without expression. "I've been the head of security at De Beers for the past fourteen years, having previously served as a detective inspector with the Metropolitan Police. I can tell you there's nothing I haven't seen, and no story I haven't heard before. So do not imagine even for one moment that you're going to get away with this, young man."
How quickly the fawning sir had been replaced by the demeaning young man, thought Jeremy.
Granger paused to allow the full weight of his words to sink in. "First, I am obliged to ask if you are willing to assist me with my inquiries, or whether you would prefer us to call in the police, in which case you will be entitled to have a solicitor present."
"I have nothing to hide," said Jeremy haughtily, "so naturally I'm happy to cooperate." Back on script.
"In that case," said Granger, "perhaps you'd be kind enough to take off your shoes, jacket, and trousers."
Jeremy kicked off his loafers, which Granger picked up and placed on the table. He then removed his jacket and handed it to Granger as if he was his valet. After taking off his trousers he stood there, trying to look appalled at the treatment he was being subjected to.

Public Forum:
Congratulations and thank you to the cast and crew of Nicolet High School's production of "Cinderella." I took my three children Saturday to the 2 p.m. show, and we all enjoyed it very much.
My 5-year-old daughter had never been to a live theatrical production and I was a little nervous, but the 45 minute run time was perfect for little ones.
The show had a wonderful mix of classic and contemporary storytelling. The modern touches added were cute, timely and refreshing.
I sincerely hope the Nicolet High School theater department continues these free, small scale children's productions. It was wonderful to get out of the house on a snowy Saturday afternoon and be treated to quality entertainment at no cost to the public. My kids and I made some great memories and, again, I hope Nicolet High School keeps producing these children's shows. It's a wonderful way to introduce kids to live theater and teaches them how to be a good audience member and shows them another creative outlet they might someday themselves explore.

Benefits of torque
Benefits of torque
When talking about cars and engines, some people also look at various specifications like the engine torque. ' In this sense, torque represents some kind of moment force that results to a rotation from a fulcrum or an axis. ' In a simple sense, when there is more torque in engines, people would associate it with better performance or efficiency. ' This also explains why some engines are configured with so-called torque converter units to take advantage of its benefits. These benefits are:
1. More power
More torque means more force for the engines and this will translate to increased engine power. ' Torque converters for example basically work on the principle that the main engine torque will be multiplied and result to more engine power. ' With more power provided by more torque, vehicles will also have more towing capacity and will be able to handle a full load of passengers without having to utilize the engine so much. ' Lower gears may be enough to have a smooth drive if the engine has more power because of torque.
2. Better acceleration
More torque in engines also results to better acceleration from a full stop. ' This is mainly because of the increase in moment power as provided by more torque in engines.
3. More efficient engine
The increase in engine torque will also help the engine achieve more efficiency. ' Lower gears will be utilized when towing big loads for example and this is attributed to higher power output. ' This simply means that engine will work less harder with more load. ' High torque also translates to a smoother drive because the engine power is not affected despite changes in the transmission. ' Smoother transmission will also result to more fuel efficiency.
Engine torque is something that car enthusiasts and experts check on every time they evaluate a car's efficiency. ' With more power and efficiency provided, having more torque basically gives a boost to a ride without sacrificing comfort.Benefits of torque

About Pete Tong
The don of British dance DJs, Pete Tong has maintained his status as the most influential man in British dance through his weekly Essential Selection radio show on BBC Radio One (broadcast to an estimated one million listeners) as well as his club gigs in front of thousands of people. Born in Dartford, Kent in 1960, Tong played drums in a school band during his teenage years, but later switched to DJing. After leaving school, he worked as a mobile DJ playing weddings and parties during the late '70s, and did time at small record labels as well. By 1983, Tong had hired in with London Records as an A&R representative, and several years later his position exposed him to the house music coming out of Chicago. After meeting with the owners of DJ International and Trax Records (the two most important Chicago house labels), Tong organized a 1986 compilation entitled The House Sound of Chicago, Vol. 1, the first British release to deal with the sound. He had never given up DJing during his stint with London Records, and he began hyping the style at clubs around London, leading to its breakout during the late '80s. When the BBC began giving airt ime to house music, Tong was a natural choice to lead the sessions, and his Essential Selection radio show (broadcast every Friday night) became the place for club kids -- as well as label executives -- to learn about the latest in dance music. Tong's reputation grew as big and as fast as the world-wide popularity of house music during the early '90s, and he released several collections detailing his mixing skills -- four volumes of the Dance Nation series, as well as compilations from the Essential Selection show. ~ John Bush, Rovi

Eye Gaze Trackers (EGTs) and pupil size variation are generally developed for scientific investigation in controlled environments or laboratories and data are used in several fields of application such as ophthalmology, neurology, or psychology, with the aim of studying oculomotor characteristics and abnormalities. Very often, the focus of these studies is the identification of cognitive and mental states. This preliminary work aims at investigating if eye tracking and pupil size variation can provide useful cues to discriminate emotional states induced by viewing images at different arousal content. Here we propose a new wearable and wireless EGT, hereinafter called HATCAM, able to robustly enable eye tracking and pupil area detection. Although very preliminary, results are very promising for affective computing applications.

BERLIN European countries deliberating on the payment of delayed loans to Greece could decide to bundle several tranches together in a single transfer of roughly 44 billion euros, a German government source said.
Under the terms of its second bailout programme, Greece was due to receive 31.2 billion euros by the end of June, plus an additional 5 billion by the end of September and 7.2 billion euros by the end of December.
The sources said these three payments could be combined to avoid stoking uncertainty with further deliberations on tranches in the coming weeks and months.
A German finance ministry spokeswoman said no final decision had yet been made on further loan payments to Greece under its second international bailout programme.
Earlier, the euro rose to a session high and German Bund futures fell on a report in the Bild newspaper that the tranches could be bundled.
Loans have been held up since Athens went off track with promised reforms and budget cuts, partly as a result of holding two elections in the space of three months earlier this year.
Earlier on Tuesday, Greece's international lenders clashed over how to help the stricken country bring its debts down to a sustainable level.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, anxious to avoid losses for her taxpayers ahead of Germany's federal elections next September, is resisting IMF calls for euro zone governments to write off some of the Greek debt they hold.
However, French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said bailout money should flow to Athens by the end of November. (Reporting by Gernot Heller; Writing by Gareth Jones. Editing by Jeremy Gaunt.)

My mother made chili dogs once a week while I was growing up as it was an inexpensive and easy meal to feed a family of eight. This is total comfort food for me. I toasted the bun and used red onion and, of course, served with Fritos. Made for Pammy's cookathon.
Chili-cheese dogs have always been a pers fave for me. Growing up, it was a family tradition to have them every Sat for lunch & no one missed this meal. Now I live in a country where the most popular restaurant is a hot-dog stand! ... But the C-C dog is not the fave of the genre for Icelanders, so I always bring canned hot dog chili (no beans) back from our US trips to satisfy my appetite. I made 1 chg & 1 addition to your recipe. I added sweet pickle relish & subbed crisp fried onions for the chopped raw onion (an Icelandic idea I favor). Thx for the trip down memory lane & the streets of Iceland. I miss you.
You can't go wrong with a good chili dog. I made a quick batch of our favorite chili recipe, Wendy's Chili Clone, and dinner was ready in 30 minutes. Served with a side salad, this was a cheap and easy meal after a long day at work and school. We'll remember you each time we have this good ole' comfort food, Pammy. Made and enjoyed in her honor.
