The new MacBook which was launched at the end of April might just be the model people have been waiting for. I have always said that it is a good general rule to wait for the second generation of a new Mac range, and the MacBook is a good example of this. The recent models come with the new Intel "Skylake" chips and by all accounts offer a significant speed boost.
One tip- for the extra €180, it is worth upgrading the processor from the m5 to the m7. The MacBook comes with Apple's slowest chips, so getting the higher speed will pay dividends over the next few years. I would also suggest people choose the higher storage, 512Gb instead of 256GB. The lower space could be a challenge for people who wish to keep some photos, music or video on their laptop.
In a world of WiFi and Bluetooth, the MacBook is a great laptop, and offers the smallest and lightest form factor of any of the Mac range. Whereas last year's model was a bit underpowered, this latest upgrade seems to have answered my biggest concern and I can see this as being my next laptop.
Today Apple held a press event which saw the release of a new iPhone, iPad and more. Here is a summary of the details:
- Tim Cook started by talking about Apple's 40th birthday on April 1st, and discussed the ongoing security case in the US
- Lisa Jackson talked about Apple and the environment, and their ambition to use 100% renewable energy. To date 93% of worldwide facilities run on renewables and 100% in the US (people may question the purpose of this presentation but this is a big aspect of the Apple brand)
- Jeff Williams presented update on HealthKit, used in the iPhone, iPod and Apple Watch. He showed how medical research can be improved by HealthKit due to the large number of participants. He also announced CareKit, which helps to monitor patients, especially those recovering from treatments/operations
- Tim Cook reported that Apple Watch is the top selling smartwatch, and introduced new woven bands, plus new sports bands. There are also new black Milanese Loop and new leather bands
- The price of the Apple Watch also dropped to $299
- On Apple TV, from today you will be able to organise apps into folders, enter text through dictation and view Live Photos
- Greg Joswiak introduced the new low end 4" iPhone- the iPhone SE. It comes with the A9 chip, 12MP camera, ApplePay, better battery life, Live Photos. It is twice as fast as the 5s.
- iPhone SE begins at $399 (16GB) or $499 (64GB) and starts to ship by the end of March
- iOS 9.3 is due out later today and includes Night Shift to help with use at night, Touch ID to protect Notes, Health update, top stories section to Apple News, improved CarPlay support, plus Education app for classrooms
- Phil Schiller introduced the new 9.7" iPad Pro. It weighs less than 1lb, comes with an A9X chip, new speakers, 12MP camera with support for 4K video and Live Phots, plus it works with a new Apple smart keyboard and Apple Pencil
- iPad Pro 9.7" prices: 32GB: $599, 128GB: $749, 256GB $899. The iPad Air 2 stays around but drops in price
- Tim Cook ended by saying he expects Apple to move to their new campus in 2017 and so this was the last event held in the Apple Town Hall venue
This event was not a blockbuster- and was never intended to be. It was an incremental update of the iPhone and iPad lines, along with formally launching the new tvOS and iOS updates. The next event will be WWDC, probably followed by an iPhone 7 launch in the Autumn.
Having used an Apple Watch for about 10 months now it has become part of my daily life. I still wear and use it, but maybe what I do on the Watch may be very different to what I might have expected at the start:
What I like:
1/ Notifications: for me the Watch is a Notifications device. When it buzzes I know I can turn my wrist and see what's happening. I know who has emailed or texted even if I don't have time to read the full message. This way I know if I need to act on something (problem with the kids' pickups etc) or if I can deal with it later. Just knowing what and who is so helpful, especially when I am teaching for a few hours and don't have time to take a call or compose a full reply.
2/ Rapid responses: the point above leads on to the responses. I love the ability to fire back a quick reply, such as "on my way" or "will call later". This can be done with the turn of the wrist, tap to reply and then selecting from the pre-set responses. Simple, quick and relatively non-intrusive when you are working with other people (certainly compared to unlocking the phone and typing in front of them!!).
3/ Comfort: I forget I am wearing the Watch. The standard rubber sports strap is so comfortable that I forget it is on my wrist, something which did not happen in the past with conventional watches. I always disliked leather straps and gave up wearing a watch a fews years ago before the Apple Watch came out. The only time I notice the Watch on my wrist is when I start to do a job in the garden or lifting boxes- then it gets in the way and I take it off. The Apple Watch is not the thinnest watch out there and can get knocked. In fact I cracked the edge of the screen in the first month, but thankfully the Watch has held together and it has not been an issue.
4/ Activity: ok I do tend to ignore a lot of the "stand" and exercise notifications from the Watch these days, but I do like to look back at how many kilometres I have completed or the number of steps I have (or haven't) taken in any given day. It does make me conscious of the need to exercise and that's not a bad thing!
5/ Calls: being able to see a call on your wrist when your iPhone is zipped up in the coat pocket somewhere else in the house is cool- and the ability to take that quick call or reply with a text is amazing.
6/ Maps: once you set your route on your iPhone and start your journey, the Watch vibrates on your wrist to tell you to go left or right. This is amazing when driving and keeps my eyes on the road instead of glancing at the iPhone screen. I don't like the audio from Apple Maps and it does not work great in my car as I listen to the radio channel (I need to listen to the AUX channel to hear the Siri and Maps notices). But the wrist vibrations lead me along perfectly!
7/ Photos: I have my family photos on the Watch face and each time I look it shows me a new photo. Plus with Live Photos taken on my iPhone 6s, if i lightly tap a photo it moves. It is simply a nice touch.
8/ Battery Life: each night I charge the Watch on my bedside table. Battery life is never an issue- I have forgotten about the Watch battery as it never runs out nor does it even come close to running out.
Not so hot...
1/ Apps: ho-hum. I really don't use them. Yeah I can see my bank balance or tweet or read a news story. But I would instinctively rather do this on the iPhone or iPad. About the only app I use regularly is Apple's Remote app for my Apple TVs. The ability to control the TV from my wrist is great. But the rest of the apps... Not so sure.
2/ Apple Pay: I would use this. But I can't. I do hope that this comes to Ireland soon as I can see myself using this all of the time instead of fumbling for credit cards from my wallet.
3/ Friends Button: I never use this. It is supposed to be a way to call up a group of frequently used contacts by pressing the button on the side and then selecting the person from your "circle". I never use it. Instead I go straight to the Messages app or into the Phone app. So for me this is a bit of a waste of a button on the side.
4/ Speed: at times this is awful, and possibly one of the reasons I don't use the apps. They can be excruciatingly slow to load and I tend to press the home button to quit out long before it eventually gets there! This is the poorest part of the Watch design. Also, when I receive an email with a photo in it, it is painful to scroll through as the Watch has problems handling the image. Definitely room for improvement here Apple when your get to Watch 2.0 (software and hardware!).
Overall though I love my Watch and will be using it for the foreseeable future. It has become part of my routine and I would miss it a lot if I had to give it up.
Happy Christmas to all of our clients - and best wishes for 2016!
We will be closed until January 4th but look forward to helping out in the New Year.
Don't forget to check out our award-winning Early Myths books for kids- great estocking fillers!
Apart from new devices, Apple also announced the dates for the release of their two main operating systems-
Apple held a press event last week to introduce a number of new gadgets- here is a quick summary of what they announced:
This week's news that Google is to create a new umbrella organisation called "Alphabet" raises a question about the Google brand. Splitting the Google company out into segments may well be the right corporate choice, but does it harm the values and identity of Google?
Firstly let me mention Apple (it is compulsory on this site!). Apple's brand identity and values inform so much about what it makes, how it acts and what it says. Apple rarely call it the Apple "brand" but Jobs and now Cook frequently speaks about the Apple way and how it approaches each decision in business. Some of the recent criticism of Apple Music focussed on how the service was confusing and possibly at times very un-Apple due to the complexity of the choices and the array of services (Apple Music, iTunes Match, iTunes Store etc).
This also relates to other aspects of the company. John Gruber, recently discussing appointments to the Apple board, said that : "The company attributes its profound success over the last 15 years to the Apple Way — and rightly so, I say. I doubt Apple's board would consider an outsider as CEO until and unless the company falters significantly and loses its way."
This idea of an Apple "way" is what I would call the brand. A brand identity does not stop at the product or service, but should extend into every aspect of the decision-making process. This is certainly true for a company like Apple, which is a lifestyle brand. Apple can be in multiple markets such as PCs, tablets, phones, watches, cloud computing because their entry and their success in that area is informed by the core Apple brand. Their approach to each category is informed by their central values- taking a beautifully designed product or service to the consumer and making it as easy as possibly to understand and use. Excellence in product execution, delivery and support crosses all of Apple's markets. Apple rarely enters new markets, but when it does it is because it feels it can contribute to this category but remain true to its values.
Which leads us back to Google. Most of the income at Google comes from search. For me, Google is a science plan. In terms of its brand, it is clinical and accessible, but not loveable. Its values centre on efficiency and connectivity and when this is applied to search or maps they are highly effective. People use Google services because it is efficient and fast, not because they have a major loyalty to Google or feel close to its values.
So when it comes to splitting out the parts which make up the current Google structure, it is rather like splitting atoms or engineering components. Many of the elements in the current Google mix sit alongside their counterparts like odd ends in a box. Google search currently sits next to Maps, Android, Docs, Glass, YouTube and Gmail. The organisation feels like a collection of odds and ends, packaged together but not sitting neatly like bricks in a home. There is no strong central brand which holds these parts together.
It may well be argued by Google that they have brand values- I don't doubt for a second that they have spent time and money on this. But the brand identity is a lose collection of ideas- being unconventional, innovative and experimental all spring to mind. But does the customer care about this? Hardly. Cutting the existing Google into pieces and calling it Alphabet matters from a corporate point of view, but the consumer will continue to search and navigate with its products, almost unaware of any change.
In the end this is due to how the Google brand sits in the heart of the consumer- a change induces a shrug of the shoulders at best, mostly people won't even notice. Emotionally the brand is something of a blank canvas, an open toolbox for new concepts and products as time passes. Breaking these pieces apart would matter to Google if its brand had been developed in the way that Apple had; but this is not the case.
So while Google can be split into its constituent parts and renamed as Alphabet due to the openness of its brand identity, the danger lies in that those parts can also be replaced by consumers and perish without the customer feeling any sense of loss. In the fast moving world of technology, Google relies on superior function to keep users interested. It certainly can't depend on loyalty or passion for its brand values.
As a children's book author, I have been considering Apple's future options for iBooks and whether they would venture into the world of Windows or Android. After all, iTunes runs on Windows PC and Apple Music will be available on Android this Autumn, so why not iBooks on other non-Apple platforms?
But when I look closer at Apple's use of iBooks, I don't see this happening. Books is an interesting side-show for Apple and it fits nicely into content-consumption on the iPad and iPhone but it's not a core business. The iBooks Store arrived with the iPad, as Apple touted the virtues of books on the iPad for consumers and in education. But it is not central to Apple's business and so does not receive the attention that say the iTunes and Apple Music stores receive.
Anyone who has interacted with the iBooks team will also know that the number of people behind iBooks is relatively small. The changes in the iBooks Store over the years have been gradual but not revolutionary.
Instead, Apple see the iBooks app as an important piece inside iOS and OS X. The benefits of the iBooks app come as part of the operating system and the user experience on an iPad, iPhone or (recently) Mac, and launching a parallel experience for Windows and Android is not something Apple will do. iBooks is key to iOS/OS X, which in turn is part of the user experience on an Apple device. The message is- if you want to experience the iBooks app, buy an iPad, iPhone or Mac!
Adding iBooks to the Mac was a nice extra but it is a different experience to using it on an iPad and iPhone. iBooks is most at home on iOS and especially on the iPad, then possibly on an iPhone 6 Plus, with other platforms such as the Mac coming at the end. Putting it onto Windows or Android is a further step away from Apple's central aim here.
In the end, while I would like to see iBooks extended out beyond iOS and OS X, I can't see it happening. With my author hat on, it would be great to reach new audiences. But as a long-time Apple observer, it goes against Apple's aims for iBooks, which is to draw more people to buy the iPad and other hardware devices.
[Note- at time of publication, the iBooks Author page still has not been updated to show that iBooks Author books can be read on an iPhone: https://www.apple.com/ibooks-author/]
Looking back at the WWDC keynote, it is worth reflecting on what was good and what was not so great:
iOS 9: this looks like a solid upgrade. It will be free, will arrive in the late Autumn, and should help to make the iPad a more work-orientated device. The changes to the keyboard, such as new shortcuts when working with text, are very welcome. So too is the idea of the virtual trackpad. The iPad can be fiddly when working with text- my Mac is always my preferred machine for letters and documents. But these changes should help. I am typing this post on an iPad because I love its mobile capabilities which even the MacBook Air can't match. But typing does take longer on an iPad, and so anything to help is welcome.
The multitasking features such as the split screen looks great, but it was a pity that it will only be fully available on a new iPad Air 2. My iPad Air 1 feels a bit left out, and this may well be the inventive to drive new iPad sales (reasonably Apple's intention, given how slowly people upgrade iPads).
OS X 10.11: also looks like a slick update, with a real focus on stability and bug fixes. I love when Apple do this as it helps all users and solves a few headaches for me when teaching about the Mac.
Music: well, that was all a bit of a mess. It has been a long time since I groaned at the style of an Apple keynote, but this was pretty bad. It seemed chaotic, long, and without a real focus. I am also not sure that the Music app and streaming service will appeal to me. I can see how people like Spotify and Apple wish to get in on this game, but I will have to see what it is like when launched. It does not seem to be something I will be paying a monthly fee for. The three month free trial is a good hook though as I will certainly take a look.
Overall the keynote was way too long, and seemed to get out of control. Tim Cook started to run on and off stage towards the end and this gave the whole thing a panicked and rushed feel. It is a pity as I really liked the early part and the main iOS and OS X announcements. When it got to the Music section I nearly turned off. But overall the announcements set out an exciting set of changes for 2015-6.

Single-crystal specimens of germanium have been tested in tension over a range of temperature and strain rate. Dislocation density has been determined as a function of plastic strain, and some direct measurements of dislocation velocity have been made. From these results the plastic behavior of germanium can be explained in terms of dislocation velocity and dislocation multiplication, and is analogous to the interpretation given by Johnson and Gilman for deformation of lithium fluoride. Effects of crystal purity and orientation have been examined; strain-aging effects were absent. Conjectures are made as to the causes of work hardening.

Central District Biker's calves are so-so. His shoulders and ass are much better.
Christopher, have you standards become so low that its just the calves of a man that can snare your wanton lust?
Just don't go snappin' any pictures of calves inside the Broadway QFC...
I got calves like a couple of cantaloupes. I got calves like Nancy Reagan. The world will someday belong to us men with calves. The Meek can suck it.
While it's unlikely to happen to me, I'd hate it if some random dude took a picture of me from behind without asking first. I presume, from the way you tell the story Christopher, that you didn't ask permission, right?
Not sure what is says about me that I've slept with both the author and the Biker.
I side with Christopher: Men's calves are hot! Too bad the rest of you don't get it. More for us! Good post.
Women's calves are hot, too! Calves are definitely one of my favorite body parts.
Thanks for the laugh, Little chicken legs...
My calves are fucking HOT!!! So are my legs!!! I have had guys grab my legs just to feel them!
Sorry Little Chicken Legs but who hasn't that biker slept with...
I, for one, hated the Serra retrospective. While the slopping metal arches were fun, in a childhood playground way, and good for sneaking around and possibly making out in, everything else was boring, stupid and occasionally fascist. Calves (the none-bovine kind) are nice, though.
I hear that calves lead to the Devil's handiwork.
aw, must have been a rough weekend: phonecam calf stalking and sufjan image searching?
I have a calf fetish. I don't want to have sex with calves, just admire them. Not all boy-calves are worthy of admiration, but the good ones . . . Wow. I think what I love about them is that they are all too rarely hidden and that they are a sure sign of health and athleticism (or lack thereof). I like them hard and chiseled, with just a hint of vein showing through.
I recently did my own walking art tour of Seattle: http://tjnorris.net/blog/2007/07/07/cracking-seattle/
CD biker is my friend, and even though we'd never fuck, he's still hot.
There are definitley better biker calves out and about this guy is ok but if you do a little more research you will find a lot of nicer calves
I think that Christopher cruised my sexy calves at the gym today. He did not have a camera though, thank god
That's pretty creepy of you.

Yesterday's strong winds didn't stop the crew from taking the Riggin's winter cover and framing off. It was time. Typically we remove the cover when we haul out in the spring but because we did our haul out in the fall we were able to keep the cover on a little longer.
We are now to the point in outfitting where we need to start getting all the lines up followed by the spar being put in place and then the sails. We are inside our 30 day countdown – 16 days til board for our first trip of the 2011 season!

Aft of the comfortable lounge area with the entertainment centre and large plasma screen is the separate dining table and bar. Throughout, the plinths for tables and the bar are stylishly designed and finished in veneers resplendent with custom made fixed glass tops.
The forward area has an independent lounge/office with access to the upper enclosed raised pilothouse and day head.
The whole area, being on one level, gives pleasant sightlines and perfectly combines the feeling of space with comfort and luxury. Details such as cutlery and crockery stowage add the finished touches to this fine interior. An aft stairwell down to the lower deck leads to the galley, engine room, crew quarters and utility room.
A staircase in the forward lounge area opens below into a curved corridor and the richly appointed cabins. Amidships is the full width master suite with television, desk/vanity, lounge area, walk-in closet and luxury power shower. Moving forward, two identical twin bedded guest cabins also have large bathrooms with power showers and glass doors emblazoned with the De Birs emblem.
The forward VIP suite is surprisingly large due to the ample width of the bow section and only slightly smaller than the master. Again resplendent with a power shower, pull-out television, and desk/vanity, the VIP Suite certainly lives up to its name.
The whole accommodation deck is completely finished in fine matched veneers, beveled edged mirrors and fine silks and fabrics giving a light and airy ambience and a volume only found on much larger yachts.

Heidelberg Things to Do: 452 reviews and 810 photos

Making a fool of myself with Perkeo -EuroMeet 2008
The perception of size is cleverly manipulated in the castle's wine cellar: you descend the stairs and voila! You see a large wine barrel to your right. "Surely, this must be it?" you ask. No, THIS was just the little one that "only" holds 45,000 lites.
DAS GROSSE FASS (Vat / Tun):
This beauty can hold 221,726 litres (approx. 55,000 gallons) of wine.
Historically this and all other of these barrels were used to collect the tithe (tax) wine from wine growers in the Kurpfalz area. This means that their contents were mostly a mixture of many wines (ouch! I feel a headache coming on...!)
NOTE: the walls of the wine cellar are covered in signatures & messages. It's an unspoken tradition for German and foreign visitors alike to eternalize your visit when tasting wines here.
Heidelberg Castle has a history of enormous barrels:
1. Johann-Casimir-Fass (1591)
2. Karl-Ludwig-Fass (1664)
3. Karl-Philipp-Fass (1728)
4. Karl-Theodor-Fass (1751)
Whilst here, read the story of Perkeo, the ancient alcoholic dwarf who apparently only drank wine, and died after drinking pure water (well, depending on the hygiene of the water in those days, it doesn't surprise me!) and pull the string in the little box on the wall ;-) You can climb the stairs to the top of the barrel, where a dance floor was installed for grand functions in the wine cellar. Take part in some wine tasting, and of course buy as many bottles as you can carry and afford! Speaking of "grand functions": the wine cellar is a popular location for weddings!
"From the Grape to the Hangover:"
Heidelberg lies in the south-western state of Baden Wuerttemberg, right in the centre of Germany's largest wine-growing areas. The shores of the Neckar River are especially fertile & give the wines of our region a distinct flavour & character (I recommend the whites and rose wines...not so much the reds): An analysis of the soil shows that it predominantly consists of loess (a fine & grainy composition of clay and silt). Certain local wines regularly receive national awards.
"There are more old wine drinkers than old doctors." - German Proverb.
"Drink wine, and you will sleep well. Sleep, and you will not sin. Avoid sin, and you will be saved. Ergo, drink wine and be saved." - Medieval German Saying.

Enjoying my Neckar cruise (August 2010)
The Neckar River runs from the Black Forest to Mannheim before emptying into the Rhine. This 367 km (228 miles) long river mainly flows through the southwestern state of Baden-W�rttemberg, but also a short section through Hessen. The name Neckar was derived from Celtic Nikros, meaning "wild water" or "wild fellow". Along its course are ancient cities with colorful histories and amazing lush green forests and vineyards.
There are various operators offering cruises; in August 2010 we did a 9-hour cruise with the Rhein-Neckar Fahrgastschifffahrt (phew! Yes, I know these long German words can be scary... haha!)
We had a great day on the Neckar River, travelling all the way over to the historic town of Eberbach where (with our specific tour) you have 2.5 hours time to explore the town and have lunch, before the ship heads the approx. 30km back to Heidelberg.
On board there was a comfortable seating area with tables inside, or a theatre-style seating/benches up above, where during clear weather you can really appreciate the beauty along the shore, and the amazing technology behind the river's locks system (many of which you will travel up and down upon during your cruise!).
On board a small kitchen offers coffee, soft drinks, ice cream and small snacks such as cakes or potato chips/crisps.
For many years now the Neckar has been tamed with dams and locks, making it safer for the towns and villages along its shores. Although there are still occasional floods in the Neckar Valley (you can see marks on the walls of some building showing how high the water can get), they are pretty rare nowadays.

The old bridge in Heidelberg, Germany
All great romantic cities have a river: Prague has the Vltava, Paris has the Seine, Florence the Arno, and Heidelberg the Neckar river.
"Die Alte Bruecke" (=the old bridge) is named after Kurfuerst (Prince Elector) Carl Theodor and apparently is Germany's 2nd oldest bridge.
The stone structure itself is not actually ancient (built in 1788, destroyed in WWII, rebuilt in 1947) but has been preceeded by ancient wooden structures, the first one dating back to the year 1284! Of course, these wooden bridges weren't very sturdy and didn't survive floods, ice and rot over the years.
The bridge has nine (9) red sandstone arches, blending-in perfectly with the same building material used throughout the old town. On these arches you can see the marked heights and dates of historic and recent floods in the Neckar Valley. A few years ago (2001) the bridge was finally closed to traffic in order to preserve this endangered monument. Nowadays, (thankfully) only pedestrians & bicycles are allowed to cross.
--> NOTE: The bridge is a great spot for photographing the castle.
You will notice two (2) statues on the bridge.One is a monument to Prince Elector Carl Theodor. The statue was restored last year (in 2006) and I witnessed the unveiling ceremony (see pictures). The figures around his feet symbolize the most important rivers of the lands governed by him: the Rhine, Mosel, Danube & Isar.
He was also said to be a great fan and supporter of the arts & sciences. That's why the other statue is dedicated to the goddess of wisdom (Roman goddess Minerva; in Greek: Pallas Athene).
(see my separate tip on the famous Heidelberg Bridge Monkey)
Address: Street: "Am Hackteufel", old Heidelberg
Directions: Neckar shore, old town. Close to the Holy Ghost/Sprit Church.
The "Burgweg" up to Heidelberg Castle
History teaches us that the best fortresses & castles have always been built on a steep slope for military purposes. This made it difficult for the enemy to approach, and easier for the castle to defend itself (we all know of archers and the horror-stories of pouring molten-hot tar on the enemy, etc...) Heidelberg Castle is no exception.
There are 3 ways of getting to the castle:
a) take the "Burgweg" (=castle path). A steep cobbled path starting at the Kornmarkt (my favourite way to walk)
b) take the stairs (over 300 steps)
c) take the Funicular.
WALKING is of course the healthiest & most traditional option... and just when you think you're about to collapse, imagine ascending this steep path every day in full knight's armour! Wear comfortable shoes and enjoy the sense of achievement when you've reached the top :-)
The FUNICULAR railway line is 489 metres long & at its steepest point has a 43% gradient. The 2 split-level cars each carry 50 people & travels at about 4 metres per second.
--> In 2007 the railway line celebrates its 100th birthday!
--> For fabulous details on the history & legends of the castle, visit my friend Trekki's Heidelberg page!
--> Click here for Waalewiener's video of the funicular railway to the castle (June 2008)
Address: Old Town, Heidelberg
Directions: Take the Bus 33 & get-off at the stop "Kornmarkt/Bergbahn (Funicular)". From there you can either walk to the castle or take the Funicular.

"Studentenkuss" Chocolaterie, Heidelberg
This isn't merely a "restaurant tip"; a visit to this cafe is a must-do for any visitor!
In the heart of the old town you'll find Heidelberg's Cafe Knoesel! It was opened in 1863 and has always been a very popular meeting point for prominent citizens, university lecturers & of course students. All of the regular patrons loved and appreciated the humorous owner Mr Fridolin Knoesel, master confectioner and pastry chef.
The coffehouse also became a popular venue for daughters of wealthy socialites, who were naturally only allowed to be here with their governess. These women kept an eye on the pretty girls and were quick to protest if one of the many male students were ever to glance in the girls' direction: flirting was taboo! The strict governesses kept even these innocent flirtations of their charges under control.
This repressed flirting didn't go unnoticed by Fridolin Knoesel, so he cunningly created a chocolate praline especially for these young & romance-deprived girls. He called is the "Student's Kiss", so they may enjoy what they so craved until one day, when the governess might not be looking... their craving for things other than chocolate may be satisfied! Overnight, Knoesel's creation became an acceptable way for 19th-century students to "exchange kisses" in public:
The "Studentenkuss" is a nougat & chocolate centre with a waffle base and covered in dark chocolate.
They're not cheap (approx. 7 Euros for 3 pralines) but it's a worthy price for something so special. They are made in Heidelberg's oldest chocolaterie after all!
--> Hence, a box of these chocolates is a great way to take some memories of Heidelberg with you, be it for yourself or for your loved ones at home! The cafe is regularly filled with residents & tourists alike.
Address: Haspelgasse 16 & 20, 69117 Heidelberg
Directions: behind the Heiliggeistkirche (Church), Altstadt (old town).
NOTE: The cafe is located on the corner, the shop selling the chocolates is 3 houses further down the street.

Castle & Neckar River, Heidelberg (Aug. 2006)
This is what you've come to see. This is the most beautiful part of town; with cobbles, church bells ringing, street musicians & gorgeous architecture: the Old Town ("Altstadt")
These are the must-sees of the old town:
> The main street ("Hauptstrasse")
> The Neckar River
> The Castle
> The "Great Vat"
> The Heilig Geist Church
> The Hotel Ritter
> The old bridge, its towers & the "bridge monkey"
> the University
> the Madonna at the Grain Market ("Kornmarkt").
> (December: Christmas Market)
Hardly any other city has been honoured by so many poems & songs as Heidelberg. Even J.W. Goethe wrote "Heidelberg - in its location - has something so ideal." Poems, quotes & songs describe Heidelberg as the German city of Romance, where the emotional connection between the 2 lovers, the rollings hills and the steady Neckar river, is still alive today.
One of the most well-known "odes" is this song: "I've lost my heart in Heidelberg":
(German) "Ich hab' mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren, In einer lauen Sommernacht.
Ich war verliebt bis ueber beide Ohren & wie ein Roeslein hat ihr Mund gelacht.
Und als wir Abschied nahmen vor den Toren, beim letzten Kuss da hab ich's klar erkannt:
Dass ich mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren. Mein Herz, es schlaegt am Neckarstrand.
Was ist aus dir geworden seitdem ich dich verliess?
Alt-Heidelberg Du Feine, Du deutsches Paradies?
Ich bin von Dir gezogen, liess Leichtsinn, Wein & Glueck.
Und sehne mich und sehne mich, mein Leben lang zurueck."
(English) "I lost my heart in Heidelberg on a balmy summer night.
In love head over heels, oh were she all mine
And like a rose, her laughing mouth my light as by the gates she said: good-bye.
That last sweet kiss, it did confirm once more,
I'd lost my heart in Heidelberg forever, my heart still beats on Neckar's shore.
Whatever happended to you, since you and I did part.
Oh Heidelberg of legend, you German paradise?
I went away and left you, Left wine & happy days.
I long to be, I long to be, back in your arms always"
Address: Old town Heidelberg, Baden-Wuerttemberg
Directions: "Altstadt" = Old Town.
Front wall of the Kurpfalz Museum, Heidelberg
(The Kurpfalz today describes the original "Pfalz" region of the roman empire, with Heidelberg as its capital)
This museum covers an impressive array of exhibits, including Archaeology (7 rooms covering over 1,500 square metres), Heidelberg's own history as a roman settlement & modern city, artistic sculptures & paintings from the 16th - 17th century, as well as an educational corner for children (I remember this from my school years...)
Another interesting fact about the museum's building is that it was built in 1712, and Maximilian Joseph von Chelius lived here from 1830-1876: He was a German eye surgeon that founded the first surgical clinic that immensely boosted the future of the medical faculty in Heidelberg University.
My mother and I weren't really in the mood for the museum on our last visit to the city, but we visited to relax with some lunch & coffee in the gorgeous courtyard garden, where you can escape the crowds (and in summer, escape the heat of the main street... see my "off the beaten path" tip)
The current exhibit was titled "Die Kurpfaelzer", depicting the lives & culture of my ancestors in the Heidelberg region (see photo... they weren't exactly attractive... haha!) and for many people in my area, our pride & joy is the copy of the lower jaw of the Homo erectus Heidelbergensis = The Heidelberg Man: this "newly discovered human ancestor" was discovered in 1907 in Mauer (near Heidelberg) and is said to have lived between 250,000 and 600,000 years ago all over Europe.
Opening Hours 2007: daily 10:00am - 06:00pm (Mondays closed)
Admission: Adults 3 EURO (students / senior citizens: 1,80 EURO)
Sundays: Adults 1,80 EURO (students / senior citizens: 1,20 EURO)

Theodor-Heuss-Bridge in Heidelberg, Germany
(Theodor Heuss was the 1st elected president of the Federal Republic of Germany and the 5th president of Germany.)
This bridge might not be as well-known as the old bridge (with the 2 watch towers), but some of the best views & photo opportunities can be seen from this bridge crossing the Neckar river and connecting the Bismarkplatz in the Old Town ("Altstadt") with Neuenheim. Neuenheim is a residential district of Heidelberg covering approx. 5.6 square km. This is the bridge with a road & also tram tracks crossing it (the old town bridge with the 2 guard towers is only open for pedestrians & cyclists nowadays).
Especially in the summer months, you'll see Heidelberg locals walking their dogs down on the "Neckar Wiese" (Neckar grass / meadows) along the shore, with friends, or displaying one of the Germans' most well-known talents: taking our clothes off to sunbathe :-)
Stop and take-in a lovely view of the old town on your right, and the Heiligenberg ("holy hill") on your left with gorgeous green forests. Then, take a deep breath and feel that burning envy towards those lucky people who own those houses over there...
Most well-known on this side of the river is the Philosophenweg ("Philosopher's Path"), Heidelberg's most famous & stunning hiking trail. --> see my seperate tip!
Directions: If you are standing at the entrance to the pedestrian precinct ("Hauptstrasse"), with the Bismarkplatz behind you, turn left & walk for approx. 10-15 min.
View over Heidelberg in winter (postcard)
Do you wonder where all of those gorgeous postcard photos of Heidelberg's old town were taken? Where was the photographer standing? This is your answer: the Philosophenweg.
This view over Heidelberg is considered one of the best panoramas north of the Alps, and one of the most stunning walking trails in the whole of Europe.
This is where poets, scholars (Heidegger, Goethe and Jaspers) and Heidelberg University teachers used to stroll, taking in the beauty of the surrounding lush greenery & the historic city below. The path leads up along the hill on the north of the Neckar River and is easy to find via the various signs posted by both the old town bridge (Carl-Theodor-Bruecke) or the Theodor-Heuss-Bridge. If you're looking for your own personal "muse" or for that perfect view of Heidelberg from above, the Philosophenweg is the way to go! (excuse the pun :-)
The so-called "snake path" (Schlangenweg) winds up the hill, at once you can peek through the massive & ancient trees and vegetation you'll see Heidelberg on the opposite river shores in all its picture-perfect glory.
NOTE: This walk isn't recommended for elderly people or those with walking difficulties. Wear proper shoes (not high heels or sandals).
This street is also renown for its beautiful luxury villas or some of the city's wealthier residents (some scenes for the German movie "Anatomie" were also filmed here)
Address: Old Town, 69117 Heidelberg, GERMANY
Directions: Cross the Theodor-Heuss bridge, turn right, and the entrance to the path is located approx. 100 metres from the river's shore.

Sherlock HolmesThe Complete Novels and StoriesVolume IISince his first appearance in "Beeton's Christmas Annual" in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyle's classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes's adventures in crime Volume II begins with The Hound of the Baskervilles, a haunting novel of murder on eerie Grimpen Moor, which has rightly earned its reputation as the finest murder mystery ever written. The Valley of Fear matches Holmes against his archenemy, the master of imaginative crime, Professor Moriarty. In addition, the loyal Dr. Watson has faithfully recorded Holmes's feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the thrilling The Adventure of the Red Circle and the twelve baffling adventures from The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle's incomparable tales bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where for more than forty years Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.
About the Author
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish physician and prolific writer most renowned for his ingenious Sherlock Holmes detective stories A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, and The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes. His collected body of work includes science fiction stories, historical novels, plays, romances, poetry, and nonfiction. Conan Doyle was knighted by King Edward VII in 1902 after writing a widely acclaimed pamphlet defending the British position in the Boer War.

Monarchs hope to continue reign
Methodist has won 25 of the past 27 national championships
DESTIN, Fla. — It's top-ranked Methodist and the rest of the field as the 2013 NCAA Division III Women's Golf Championship opens Tuesday at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
A total of 21 teams -- 11 via automatic conference bids and 10 at-large from conferences and remaining independent schools -- will play all four NCAA rounds at Sandestin's Baytowne Golf Club. The final round is scheduled for Friday, and the reigning national champion Monarchs are, as usual, the favorites to hoist the trophy -- no other women's team has won a Division III title since 1997.
"We are all excited to be part of the Methodist legacy," fourth-year head coach Tom Inczauskis said. "Each player is aware of the current streak, but has taken each match during the year simply one at a time. We will need to be just as patient over the next four days of competition to make sure we are in the final pairing on Friday."
A remarkable accomplishment becomes more significant against this: Methodist is targeting its 26th title in 28 years of national championship competition. It's the longest active NCAA championship streak across all divisions.
Last year at the Zollner Golf Course in Angola, Ind., then-junior Jenny Sullivan clinched Methodist's latest NCAA title match with a birdie on 18. The Monarchs beat DePauw by six strokes. By comparison, Inczauskis' career record seems diminutive, though still impressive; he's going for his fourth national title with the Monarchs.
"The field at the national championship is loaded with talented teams," he said. "We will have to be very consistent as charges will come from many different teams this year."
The Monarchs enter this week's tournament with a 6-3 record, and with a 313 team scoring average, the lowest of Inczauskis' four-year tenure. They also have experience at Baytowne, having played there in this past October's Golfweek Division III Fall Preview. Methodist won that 14-team tournament, which included six other teams selected for this week's national championship.
"We have a great deal of support between faculty, staff, administration, volunteers, alumni, family and friends," Inczauskis said. "It takes a great deal of people to put on a national championship, and this year, it has a different feel with our support system so close."
Statistical evidence may be overwhelming, but as teams tee off, everyone has 72 holes to make a statement. Behind Methodist in the latest national rankings are Mary Hardin-Baylor at No. 2, Washington (Mo.) at third and DePauw at No. 4. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and George Fox are tied at No. 5.
"It is a great time for Division III golf with so many competitive squads and talented young ladies," Inczauskis said. "I believe the spectators will be treated to some excellent shot-making and scoring this week."
The Monarchs won their last time out, sweeping their own Methodist Spring Invitational with Cortland State, Randolph-Macon and Hollins in mid-April.
In individual competition, defending national champion Catherine Wagner, a senior at Wisconsin-Eau Claire, returns to defend her title. She is one of six players selected to compete for top medalist honors whose teams did not receive bids.
Methodist also has thrived in NCAA individual play, winning 15 DIII titles, the most recent being Paige Caldwell's 2011 triumph. This year, Sullivan returns as a senior; Loretta Giovannettone was the top medalist in this past fall's match at Baytowne. Teammates Andrea Daly, Kelsie Carralero and Taylor Dominguez also played in that tournament.
"Each one of our national championship players has a great story and these five players are tremendously motivated," Inczauskis said. "They practice and play hard and are excellent students in the classroom. Each one has practiced for this moment and it is time to perform."

Originally die protection was developed just to prevent damage to the tool and die during the operation of a stamping press. As sensor and controls technology knowledge has evolved and stampers knowledge of it has expanded, die protection technology has been expanded into other applications, such as increasing production rates and to perform quality assurance.

Before you scrap your iron frame, think about the benefits of using the original frame. Adapting your old cast press frame to new technologies may be easier, cheaper, and greener than you may have thought.

At least one stamper is reducing the cost of medical devices by converting machined parts to stamped or stamped/machined parts. Not only is the manufacturer using this innovative approach to reduce cost without sacrificing quality and still meet stringent U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards, it sometimes stamps features into the medical devices that could not be made by machining them and tightens tolerances.

(When you get to the payment page, it just tells you to put in the credit card details, but not an address)
It's just the credit card I will be using has a different address to the one I put on the ETA, so don't want the card to get blocked or anything.
Hope someone can help.
The question just below got me thinking about this. I am a dual national of both the UK and Canada. There have been occasions in the past when I have arrived in Canada without a valid Canadian passport. On such occasions, I have used my British passport in order to fly into the country, and then explained to immigration officials upon arrival that I am in fact a Canadian citizen (and used documents like an expired passport in order to prove this to them).
But now that the eTa is coming into…
I am thinking of flying to Canada soon for a two week holiday and was about to fill in the eTA.
Will be flying from the Uk where I'm from.
I have a query though about what is the best thing to put under occupation.
I am currently not working, but am not looking for work either so not really unemployed. I am currently just living off savings and also being supported by a partner a bit. Taking some time out from work and doing some travelling too. There is an option for Homemaker, but I don't…
Hey, I haven't been able to convince any friend to come with me this summer, so am likely headed out on a solo canoe trip but thought I'd throw the idea out to the backpacker community, perhaps someone is doing a longer trip and has a bigger chunk of free time then my friends.
I'm planning to do a trip in Northern Saskatchewan, out of La Ronge on the Churchill River. Ascending the Foster River (a tributary of the Churchill) and descending the Geikie River. The area has a ton of blueberries…
Ok, to start I know there is no wrong answer here! I just cannot decide so am looking for opinions :).
I am going out to Halifax for 5 days in August with some friends- I lived there for 6 years but have not been back for 5 years so am very excited to go visit friends and such. I also saw a lot of NS while I lived there and loved it, but didn't get to do much hiking or camping, more visiting small towns and road trips with airbnbs, all the main sights like peggsy cove, lunenburg, mahone bay…
Hi myself and my partner are 30 and 33.
We are looking for opportunities to work in Cananda?
We are too old for Bunac now but wondering if there are any other options. Maybe a ski season... Are there any companies people can recommend?
I am a designer and photographer. She is a primary school teacher.

2008 Ron Paul Takes in More Than $4 Million Online in One Day
posted by November 6 at 9:25 AMon
And it was all in honor of Guy Fawkes Day. What?
Fawkes was a British mercenary who failed in his attempt to kill King James I on Nov. 5, 1605. He also was the model for the protagonist in the movie "V for Vendetta." Paul backers motivated donors on the Internet with mashed-up clips of the film on the online video site YouTube as well as the Guy Fawkes Day refrain: "Remember, remember the 5th of November."
Here's one of the videos:
And please note:
Paul's total deposed Mitt Romney as the single-day fundraising record holder in the Republican presidential field. When it comes to sums amassed in one day, Paul now ranks only behind Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton, who raised nearly $6.2 million on June 30, and Barack Obama.
Former Howard Dean online strategist Jerome Armstrong, told about the fundraiser, replied:
Damn. Wow. Um, that's pretty awesome… What Paul is doing — or what his supporters are doing — is really impressive.
But do his supporters really understand all of Ron Paul's positions?

New Dominance in Renewable Energy Rises in the East
For proponents of new energy, there's some bad news and some good news.
Global renewable energy investment dropped 14 percent last year from 2012, to $214 billion, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). That's 23 percent off the peak, reached in 2011, according to a new report, Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2014 . The good news is the drop in investment comes largely as a result of lower prices, according to Michael Liebreich, BNEF's founder.
China tops the list of nations investing in renewables (see chart below) and its outsize influence is no surprise. What's noteworthy is just how dominant China has become in the space, and how far it's left the Old World behind. The globe's biggest energy user (and polluter) financed almost 17 percent more clean tech in 2013 than all of Europe -- long the world's moral leader in clean energy.
Germany tends to lead Europe's fortunes, such as they are. And Germany has spent itself into a renewable hangover, putting in $9.9 billion last year -- "a far cry from its peak figure of $33.7 billion in 2010," according to the report, which was produced by BNEF and the UN Environment Program. Excessive clean-energy subsidies have pushed up the price of electricity and "have become the biggest problem by straining our economy and industry," Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel said this week . "We urgently need this fresh start to the energy switch."
The freshest start is coming in Japan . Renewable financing leaped 80 percent there last year, to $28.6 billion -- a function of its changing energy picture in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Solar companies in the U.S. and the U.K. have increasingly been able to turn to public markets for support. SunPower, SolarCity and SunEdison stocks all rose by more than 300 percent in 2013, according to the report. The U.S.-based Guggenheim solar fund enjoyed a price rise of 138 percent last year and a 590 percent jump in assets under management.
If you're looking for a bastion of stability, keep an eye on Australia, which in a year of good news and bad news managed to play the middle, finishing within a tenth of a percent of its 2012 numbers.

Fabulous work... wonderful model...
Very beautiful, as always. ~ gm
Tattoo ruins it. The fault's not yours. This is well posed, well costumed, well set, well lit and well taken. It has all the hallmarks of a great piece of art and the girl is even very attractive. I just never have been fond of the cheap, tacky "tramp stamp" on women. Some tattoos are tasteful, "Veni Vidi Vici" running right above the backside is not among them.
Wonderful shot
I would have tried adding just a little warmth in color temperature, or not, is perfect.
preciosa foto
Beautiful shot! I love these amazing images. You really do an awesome job of creating stunning pictures!
I believe that I may now have seen the most beautiful lady in the world, I truly love this image

Pharmacists, nurses at Utah Poison Control respond to 145 calls a day
SALT LAKE CITY — The teenagers were hallucinating and their vital signs were all over the place, rapid heart beats battling delusions for the attention of emergency department staff. They'd been brought to University Hospital by a friend who was cold-sober but didn't know what they'd taken. All he could do was describe the plant he'd seen them eat.
Dr. Peter Taillac, working the University Hospital emergency department that night, did what he's done hundreds and hundreds of times over the years: He called the Utah Poison Control Center. Within minutes, after describing the plant and what the kids were doing, he had an answer. They'd ingested jimson weed, which can sometimes be very dangerous, even deadly.
Federal funding for America's network of poison control centers was in question as Congress was considering the fiscal year 2011 funding continuing resolution earlier this month. The first version of HR1 called for a 93 percent reduction in federal funding, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, which said federal money accounts for an average of about 20 percent of overall center budgets. In Utah, it's about 10 percent.
In the end, the centers took a 25 percent cut to federal funding. Added to some cuts at the state level, which varies from place to place, some centers will have 40 percent less in their budgets, lamented Dr. Richard Dart, president of the association, in a news release.
The Utah Poison Control Center, which can document $7 in health care cost savings for every dollar spent on it, was coincidentally sending out its annual report as the cuts were being discussed nationally.
Utah's center, housed at the University of Utah, answered close to 53,000 calls in 2010, from the intentional drug overdose to the worried mom of the pancake-makeup-eating toddler. Center staffers helped senior citizen couples who accidentally took each other's medication because their pill sorters are identical. They reassured parents whose toddlers ate something that might make them queasy but wouldn't pose long-term ill effect, said Marty Malheiro, the center's coordinator for outreach education. They likely saved some lives. And they helped scores of doctors like Taillac in emergency departments across the state.
Add those to the "worried well calls — and we're happy to get those, too," Malheiro said, and the volume just in Utah is close to 145 calls a day, fielded by highly trained pharmacists and nurses who have taken an additional intensive course in toxicology.
Besides that, the center staffers call those they help back to see what the outcomes are on cases, said Dr. Charles Pruitt, who specializes in pediatric emergency medicine at Primary Children's Medical Center and also is an associate professor of pediatrics at the U., as well as the childrens hospital's medical adviser for child advocacy.
It would be hard to over-estimate the value not only in helping people figure out when they don't need to go the emergency department, but what's happened and what type of care they do need, he said. Sometimes, the center calls the emergency room to say a patient's coming in "and here's what we know so far," he said.
"I think the Poison Control Center is a very comprehensive center and they are charged with nothing less than preventing deaths from poisonings. … They are an invaluable resource to a busy emergency department. Sometimes it's difficult to do background research that's necessary in a timely fashion to manage an acute poisoning," Pruitt said.
One of the situations virtually every emergency department confronts at some point is the child who drank something that an adult had poured into a different container — like a small amount of antifreeze "saved" in a soda bottle. Pruitt said it's tremendously helpful to be able to discuss options, including dosing based on amounts and a child's actual weight and age, with people who know instantly how to get to the right database and figure things out. "They help me make an assessment about how aggressive to be in managing a potential poisoning," he said.

Instructors may also add links in their Blackboard courses to specific library resources, or to the library webpage.
Reusable, stable links can be created to a particular article or publication in many of our Madison College library databases. These links can then be added to a Blackboard course, webpage, library electronic reserves, or email. Linking to articles in library databases also has the advantages of being copyright compliant and cost effective.
Database vendors have various names for their reusable links including: durable links, persistent links, Permalinks, stable URLs, bookmarks, etc.
Note: These resusable links are usually different from the URLs which appear in the browser address bar.
To ensure Off Campus Access: Anyone who uses a durable or persistent link must also have access to the database. Therefore, off-campus users must be authenticated as part of Madison Area Technical College, so our college EZproxy prefix must also be added to the database link.

Hi - I have a tricky sitch.
We have a version of our site on a testing platform, tweaking the theme and some of the functions.
Our live site is active - we are selling things and getting new users every day.
We want to put the site in maintenance mode - move the site - move the db and take site out of maintenance mode.
What tables in the DB are controlling the widget and the look and feel changes and what tables are user/post focused. I would like to be able to move the site and not loose most of the changes the designer has made. Or - are the two inexorably intertwined?
Thank you for your help and time!

The Summit is a non-denominational, non-charismatic church designed for Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry, and Outreach. We are a casual place where real people from all walks of life can come to cultivate relationships with God and each other. Our Pastor, Jim Dean, delivers compelling and positive messages that can easily be applied to our lives in today's world. Our worship performs comtemporary songs that are both entertaining and inspiring. You can learn more about God and yourself with our Small Group Program. There are countless opportunities to volunteer in our community or participate in events that benefit the entire world. We hold numerous fellowship events where we can cultivate new friendships and renew old ones.
The Summit began with a Bible study group that met at the home of Jim and Lisa Dean in the spring of 2005. Nine persons gathered weekly for prayer and study in an attempt to seek the Lord's direction in beginning a new church that reached out to those who did not attend church or those who had no personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In April 2010, The Summit Church purchased 15 acres of land in Dills Cove. This will provide our growing church family a home as well as a ministry center that serves our community.
The Summit church held its first worship service on September 11, 2005 at the Family Resource Center in Webster N.C. The dream was to begin a fresh worship experience that would honor God by bringing all who attend into a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ.
Since then the church has quickly grown into a vibrant community of faith that features creative worship, exciting fellowship, spiritual growth and ministry for all ages and community outreach.
On September 10, 2006, The Summit moved to Cullowhee Valley School for Sunday worship. This allowed the congregation to accommodate space for worship, small groups and its children's ministry.
In April 2010, The Summit Church purchased 15 acres of land in Dills Cove. This will provide our growing church family a home as well as a ministry center that serves our community. Please visit our Dills Cove Property page for more information.
If you are looking for a relationship with God or for a church family to help you grow spiritually we invite you to join us at The Summit.
Our church is autonomous and maintains the right to govern its own affairs independent of any denominational entities. Realizing, however, the benefits of cooperation with fellow believers, our church voluntarily aligns itself with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Of North Carolina, the Western North Carolina Regional Network, and other like-minded churches and organizations.

Invida negotiated exclusive distribution and promotion rights to a number of Ipsen's endocrinology and oncology drugs in selected South-East Asian countries. Products included in the agreement are Diphereline®, Somatuline® Autogel®, and Increlex.
The deal covers Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and India, with the exception of Diphereline in Thailand. Invida will be responsible for filing and commercializing the drugs in its licensed territories.
Diphereline is a decapeptide analogue of GnRH licensed by Debiopharm to Ipsen for Europe and certain other countries. The drug is approved in various global markets, primarily for the treatment of advanced metastatic prostate cancer, but also in some countries for treating uterine fibroids, endometriosis, IVF, and precocious puberty. Diphereline made worldwide sales in excess of €250 million (approximately $332.69 million) in 2009, Ipsen states.
Somatuline Autogel is a somastatin analogue, developed initially for the treatment of acromegaly and, subsequently, for treating symptoms associated with neuroendocrine tumors. Combined sales of Somatuline and Somatuline Autogel amounted to nearly €140 million (about $186.3 million) in 2009.
Increlex is a recombinant insulin-like growth factor of human origin (IGF-1). The drug is indicated for the treatment of severe primary IGF-1 in children and adolescents. Sales in 2009 approached €21 million (roughly $27.94 million).
Ipsen's evp and COO, Christophe Jean, believes that the partnership will expedite the time to market for these products in its licensed regions. Invida is a pharmaceutical commercialization services company in Asia Pacific with over 4,000 employees across 13 countries.
"This agreement contributes to expanding the geographical reach of Ipsen's specialty-care portfolio in the Asia Pacific region," remarks Jean.

AUSTIN (AP) - Consumers should watch for federal water quality reports due out this month even though most Texans' drinking water meets or exceeds federal guidelines, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission said Thursday.
As part of a federal "right to know" law, community water systems are required to tell their customers what is in their water down to the last drop by Oct. 19. According to the law, even harmless amounts of naturally occurring elements, contaminants and minerals must be listed.
The reports will list nitrates, fluorides, toluene, pesticides, bacteria, lead, copper and arsenic, said TNRCC spokesman Tom Kelley.
Most Texans will receive the reports as part of their monthly water bills, but Texans in cities larger than 100,000 can look up the information on the Internet, Kelley said.
More than 96 percent of Texans drink water that meets or exceeds federal standards, the commission said.
In 1998, about 8 percent of the state's 550 water utilities had to notify consumers that contaminant levels exceeded federal standards.
Maximum contaminant levels, when levels become unhealthy, are measured in parts per million or billion and vary by contaminant.
"We already closely monitor those small percentage of water systems that have violated health standards in the past," said Commissioner John Baker. "The new water quality reports coming out will just give consumers another layer of confidence about the quality of the water they drink."

Award Winner Create Faces™ Face Painting
Halloween Classics
Halloween Classics
WATCH PREVIEWBe a clown... a marauding pirate... or a wicked witch. With a little face paint and imagination, your transformation can be quick and easy. Professional clown and face painter Sharon Neilson demonstrates just how easy it is. In this instructional DVD, she shows how to paint eight different full-face designs: Princess, Devil, Clown, Pirate, Witch, Scarecrow, Alien Monster, and Superhero. She also discusses supplies and cleaning. For professionals working fairs and birthday parties, Sharon also provides tips on working with children and marketing.
To see the other videos in this set click here.
Testimonial: "Awesome DVD's! This is my second order, Thank you. I think your videos are GREAT and I'm a fully qualified beauty therapist." — Kelly P, Australia"Bought this for our kid's Halloween party just the other week and my wife and sister in law had fun recreating some of these classics. The kids loved it, the adults had fun seeing the faces and masks come to life and all in all it was a most enjoyable night. Love the simple face painting techniques covered, the step by step instructions are so easy to follow, and it's quite easy to achieve the looks that are demonstrated in the DVD. With 8 different face painting designs, we had just enough for everyone to have their own design. So great!" James, New Zealand"I've watched a few different face painting videos featuring Sharon Neilson before, and she is a fantastic instructor. The face painting DVD Is really fun to watch and includes lots of cool designs. If you need to learn the face painting basics and get comfortable with this craft, I highly recommend this. She goes over her techniques and includes helpful information for beginners and seasoned face painters alike. If you're a cosmetologist or makeup artist and you want to expand your art to include face painting for events, this is a great way to start. I'm a jack of all trades when it comes to my work, and doing birthday parties and events has added another enjoyable facet to my work. The designs are quality, easy designs to change up. These are a bunch of the common requests for Halloween, and I'm glad I brushed up on this before the Halloween season last year. Kids love these designs and picking a handful to master has made me even better. Its less overwhelming if you practice a bunch of face painting designs and then pick up another DVD to try some new ones! It's not intimidating at all. I loved the tips on product choices and techniques. I'll definitely be picking up some of the others in this series!" Meghan Parker, USA
