I love taking photos - even if I don't put them on my wall or an internet site. I have learned to see much more since I took my camera along with me and every photo trip is a bit like a holiday for the mind.I'm happy if you enjoy my photos - but please don't take them and put them on your own website without asking or without a reference to the photographer or this site. Simple advice: Better get outside and take your own pictures!

I graduated from Northeastern University in May 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Now, I work full-time at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as a Research Technician, working in the Cancer Biology department. I enjoy science research in that it involves a lot of learning and can also be used to help others! In a few years, I hope to pursue a higher level degree, such as my PhD, or change directions altogether and become a veterinarian or a surgeon… We'll see where the wind takes me!
I've been tutoring with Varsity Tutors for almost a year and have loved meeting students from all over Boston and helping them with SAT preparation or science class. It's a very rewarding feeling when students achieve their goals because of your help. This feeling, and the growth of confidence I've seen in my students after our sessions, has led me to keep tutoring in my life post-graduation!
If you need help with specific subject matter, or just need a friendly face to work through problems with, I'm here to help! I look forward to meeting you!

The Danish ocean carrier's plan to acquire Hamburg Süd in 2017 caps a landmark year for consolidation in the container shipping industry, noted Mario Cordero, the chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission.
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration today announced a final rule establishing a national database for the drug and alcohol testing records of commercial truck and bus drivers.
Transportation and logistics companies added 8,900 positions last month, following a revised 12,200-job increase in October, according to recent preliminary data from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
A new supply chain analytics benchmark study from American Shipper found that manufacturers are relying on analytics based on historical data almost twice as much as retailers and LSPs.
Geneva-based Mediterranean Shipping Co. has confirmed it is looking to buy the now insolvent South Korean shipping company's 54 percent stake in the Southern California container terminal.
The strong growth was largely due to an increase container trade between the port and Asia, which surged 19 percent year-over-year to 336,791 TEUs.

Great pizza. Food smells are amazing. Disappointed it wasn't open for dinner. Would have had both meals there.
Lunch was very good, with excellent service. On this hot humid day, the key lime pie with sorbet was perfect. The patio is picturesque, located on a cobblestoned passageway lined with interesting shops and pretty plants.
My husband and I live on island and can count on a wonderful meal and relaxing evening at least once a year.
Set in a pretty interior passage with lots of charms for this small Spanish dining experience. Our first visit for lunch. Red sangria was refreshing and so nice in its large pitcher with cubed fruit. 2 of us had traditional paella and it was fantastic. The other couple enjoyed a pork sandwich which looked great. Mussels served in a out...
Cafe Amelia is on a side street just off the main street in downtown, a short walk from the ferry terminal. We went there for lunch before heading back home. It was a fitting place to end our vacation. The food was very good. The clams tapas was excellent with a very good sauce. The sangria was good and plentiful...
Great little haven in the middle of a crowded shopping area. We were walking through and spotted this place....Excellent Tapas and FABULOUS Sangria! Wait staff was great also.
This place is located in Palm Passage (off the main st) and very close to The Greenhouse restaurant. It is an excellent Spanish Tapas restaurant. Cara, our server, was knowledgeable and attentive; bravo.
We ordered:
Gazpacho - $9
Zarzuela de Mariscos - $33
Calamari - $14
Banana Blueberry Breadpudding
Best Calzones ever. We were on our way to take a tour. Stopped by for a quick lunch and we were delighted with the service and food. Can't wait to go back.
We had a long travel day and had dinner there. Our server was wonderful and gave us super service. After visiting another island for a week we returned and had lunch. Again very good but best of all we left some purchases there and Helga returned our package to the store we bought it. They were able to contact us...
After traveling to St. Thomas, multiple times a year for over 14 years, we have found a little gem of a restaurant right in the heart of Charlotte Amalie on Palm Passage.

A modern, bespoke villa that has absolutely everything to offer
If you are looking for a modern, bespoke villa that has absolutely everything to offer on the outskirts of Pescara, then look no more. Maiella View is nestled amid a beautiful vineyard and olive grove in the hills overlooking Francavilla al Mare and the Adriatic coast.
The villages of Miglianico and Tollo are just 7 minutes by car, with the closest village, Giuliano Teatino, approximately 3 minutes drive from the villa. The closest beach is 10 minutes drive away, although there is a whole coast line with blue flag beaches to explore.
It is also a five minute drive to the only golf facilities in the region, Miglianico Golf Club.
Maiella View is situated between two local Agritourismo's, approximately 500 metres each side, both serve delicious regional food from ingredients largely grown on their farms. Agritourismo La Contessa and Campo Letizia.
The Villa is built to enjoy the panoramic views of mountains, rolling hills and the sea. Maiella View's modern architectural features make it absolutely perfect for up to three couples. One of the main features of the house, is a double-height hallway, with cathedral windows framing spectacular views of the Gran Sasso mountain range. Bridging the hallway is a walkway connecting the two wings of the building. A large furnished terrace on the first floor is the perfect setting for an aperitif while enjoying the tranquil beauty of the area.
This luxury villa has three very comfortable master bedrooms and a large open plan living area. There are two master bedrooms upstairs, each with private terraces to allow that extra bit of uninterrupted time absorbing the breathtaking views surrounding you. Both upstairs bedrooms have individual en-suite bathrooms with spacious modern shower facilities. A third bedroom is located downstairs - adjacent to a full-size bathroom, which incorporates a bath and shower.
There is ample space at the property for relaxing outdoors and for dining and entertaining. The swimming pool is a few steps away from the main open plan living area. The large sliding glass double doors lead you outside, to the swimming pool steps, where you can sit and relax with a glass of incredibly gorgeous local wine from one of the many regional cantinas in the area.
The pool is completely surrounded by a large outdoor deck with plenty of space to lounge in the sun or enjoy a sunset behind the Gran Sasso mountain in the evenings. The pool is lit at night by soft ambient lighting, which instantly transforms the surrounding. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, the evening sunset draws on a whole new concept.
Impeccably decorated and furnished in understated modern luxury, Maiella View is equipped to a very high standard, see the 'features' section for a full list of everything that awaits you upon your arrival.
Impeccably decorated and furnished in understated modern luxury, Maiella View is equipped to a very high standard. Comfortable and private, this property is ideal for a romantic honeymoon, anniversary or a special gathering of friends for up to a maximum of three couples.

Beautiful modern villa in a secluded setting.
About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the owner
Our stay at Maiella View was the completion of our 3 week vacation of moving every few days, so we were ready to settle down.
The house and the pool were stunning; the photos do not lie. Bedrooms are air conditioned and it was necessary because, not only does the house sit uncovered from shade, enormous glass windows, untypical of Italian houses, invite the penetrating heat into the house. Ceiling fans would go a long way to cooling off the main floor. At night, the upstairs deck was the perfect spot for star gazing with a night cap. Modern great kitchen complete with necessities, except ice maker.
The location is remote. No walking to town or the beach, but both are less than 15 minutes by car.
The managing couple couldn't have been nicer.

Beautiful modern villa in a secluded setting.
We have stayed twice at Maiella View and it has become one of our favourite places in Italy. The villa is set in between olive groves and has the most amazing views across the stunning countryside in one direction, looking over to the sea in another and to the Maiella mountains in the other. The sunsets and incredible. The villa itself is modern, luxurious and well kept. On arrival you are welcomed with a basket containing pasta, sauce and a bottle of wine or prosecco. Each bedroom is comfortable and has its own very nice en suite bathroom, again with the stunning views. There is a modern kitchen and TV with dvd and blu ray player. Outside is a lovely garden and the best part, the swimming pool which you can light at night with changing colours. The location is good for visiting Francavilla al mare, Pescara. The local town of Tollo has a great Vineyard called Cantina Tollo which is worth a visit and you can bring home some very nice wine for a very good price. Also make sure you visit Aguratissimo Campoletizia just 5 mins down the road, set in beautiful surroundings where you will get fantastic home cooked food that just keeps coming. As a previous reviewer has said, we would love to keep Maiella View a secret as it is such a gem but it's hard not to tell others about it!
Fantastic modern villa in Idyllic Location
We've stayed at Maeilla view for the last 2 years as we love the location and tranquility of the area, tucked between vineyards but really easily accessible to Francavilla and Pescara for beaches and restaurants. There's the most amazing agriturisimo within walking distance to the villa where they serve the food grown on the farm, one of the best meals we've ever had! The villa is spacious, contemporary and has a perfect pool to cool off in! The owners are really helpful and provided some very welcome provisions (including prosecco!) when our flight was delayed. Would highly recommend this hidden gem although would quite like to keep it a secret!
Great get away!
Maiella View was wonderful. The listing description was very accurate and the property was well maintained. The property manager was very prompt in meeting with us and very knowledgeable about the area. We were able to take day trips to many of the surrounding towns and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. The owners were very responsible and professional in completing all business matters. I would recommend this property to my friends. We had a rental car with a GPS which was very helpful.
Activity and Interests
Abruzzo is one of the most sparsely populated regions on the Italian peninsula. A vacation in Abruzzo offers a taste of the unspoiled Italy.
This region, where the north of Italy meets the south, is one of the most beautiful in the country. Bordered by the Apennines to the west and fringed by the Adriatic on the east, it has some of Italy's most beautiful natural scenery. In the Gran Sasso it has the highest mountain in Italy. Stand atop the Gran Sasso and you have views of both the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian (Mediterranean) Seas, across the entire width of Italy.
Within an easy drive of the Villa there are an abundance of restaurants and pizzerias at which to enjoy the regional cuisine. Meat dishes are a speciality in the hills and seafood in the coastal towns. We are happy to recommend some of our favourite eating establishments but we have found the food and wine to be excellent wherever we have eaten.
The closest beach is just a 10-minute drive away, with the beach resorts offering umbrellas, loungers, play-areas for kids and snack bars/restaurants. The centre of Pescara, with its designer and high street shops, is a 25-minute drive from the Villa. In the evenings, the beach cafes and the old town of Pescara Porto transform themselves into vibrant night spots.
'Marina di Pescara' is one of the largest on the Adriatic coast. The Marina contains cafés, restaurants and boutique shops. Boat charters are available to sail along the Abruzzo coastline, while a day trip will allow you to explore the beautiful islands of Isole Tremiti.
Abruzzo has 4 magnificent Natural Parks and 3 mountain massifs as good as the Alpines. Hiking and mountain bike enthusiasts have a network of marked paths available and horse-back excursions are available.
The Maiella mountain range, which is part of the world heritage of National Parks, has 22km of ski slopes and 12km of trails for Nordic skiing and is only a short drive from the Villa. At less than 2,000 metres, the slopes are famous for the abundant blanket of snow that lasts until late spring. While skiing, a glance toward the horizon will give you spectacular views of the coast and the Adriatic Sea. When it comes to après-ski, the choices are many: enchanting villages, small towns rich in art works, ancient traditions and folkloric events.
Getting there: There are flights from many European cities such as London, Paris, Frankfurt, Brussels and Eindhoven directly to Pescara, from which it is a 20 minute drive to the villa. Alternatively, the villa is approximately 2 1/2 hours drive on the autostrada from Rome's airports.

Heavenly beings, much like angels, are forms that live amongst the heavens. Though not completely like a spirit, they take the form of humans and they have the power to conjure weapons called Sacred Weapons or Jingi to aid them in battle. Like humans, heavenly beings are able to channel their internal power. Compared to human power, heavenly power is exceptionally stronger. As shown by Ueki, if a heavenly being is unable to control their power, they will lose control of themselves and go on a mindless rampage. Heavenly beings(with the exception of the Celestial King) are able to walk on all three planes, though heavenly beings are only sent to Hell to be imprisoned. The Celestial King is forbidden from entering Hell. Heavenly beings are naturally stronger than humans, but weaker than hellions.

Fast, moist, and delicious. Marinate for as few as 30 minutes. Lime and slight chile tang makes an interesting change from lemon and pepper chicken.
- Yield
- 4 people
- 1 whole chicken or equivalent pieces, cut for frying
- 2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 1 Tbls. minced garlic
- 1 tsp. Vietnamese Chili Garlic Sauce
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbls. chopped fresh thyme
- Freshly ground peppercorns
- Rinse chicken pieces in cold water. Pat dry. Marinate all pieces in a mixture of the other ingredients for approximately one hour in refrigerator (30 minutes will work if pressed for time). Turn or baste three or four times. Drain slightly and place on plate or tray. Cover both sides of each piece with more freshly ground pepper. Press pepper into chicken pieces. Have prepared a bed of medium-hot coals in a charcoal grill or turn a gas grill to medium-high heat. Put the chicken pieces on the grill, skin-side-down, and cook uncovered for about 30 minutes, turning several times until golden brown and cooked through.

Villa Loukia at Kelia, luxury villa, in Walking Distance of Kassiopi, Corfu - Peaceful, very Private Location, EOT Reg.
Villa Loukia has two new extensions for 2016. The master bedroom has been extended to create a 'master suite' complete with an all new luxury bathroom. Downstairs we have extended the sitting room to create an indoor dining area with stunning feature 'glass wall'. This new dining area is a fantastic improvement and will also really enhance holidays taken in low season.
During the winter of 2016 we will be continuing the villa improvements and the 'Blue' Bedroom and bathroom will be remodelled so that the beds are opposite the amazing view, the bathroom will be larger and all will be to the same standard as the master suite.
Villa Loukia is located in a stunning position, nestled into the quiet olive covered hillside above Kassiopi in the hamlet of Kelia. The views from the villa across the bay of Avalaki and to Albania beyond are truly stunning. The property was new for 2008, having been bought by an English family with many years experience of holidaying in Corfu. Attention has therefore been paid to equipping the villa with all the necessary equipment for a relaxing and happy holiday whilst making sure it remains comfortable and practical for both couples and families alike. The villa is also equipped with items such as hairdryers and beach in order to reduce the need for two much expensive baggage on the flight over. Also for guest convenience every room has a 3 pin English socket as well as the standard 2-pin. No need to bring adapters.
The location is quiet and private - away from other properties - however unlike many villas in NE Corfu, the situation above Kassiopi means that it is possible to walk (10-15 mins) to shops/restaurants in the evening, leaving the car at home. The nearest supermarket is just 5 mins walk or 2 mins in the car. The famous village of Kalami and the lovely secluded coves of that area is just a 10-15 mins drive. The pool is large (5m x 10m) and in 2015 we added heating which has been loved by guests using the villa in low season. Look at Website below for more details on the Villa.

Beautiful villa, stunning location
We hired a car through Julia and although not essential I would recommend it. The road to the villa is quite steep and from the centre of Kassiopi probably a good 20 minutes or more climb ( quicker going down!) and at night it is very dark. We found a car made exploring, shopping and eating out much easier. Nicos supermarket at the bottom of the hill had everything we needed and were very friendly and helpful. We also loved Nicola's bakery in Kassiopi, delicious bread, pies and the largest doughnuts we have ever seen, word of warning get there by mid morning as they sell out quickly.
Restaurants in Kassiopi that we enjoyed were Tavanakkis on the harbour , The Old School House and Little Italy, all were delicious and reasonably priced. Bar Limona on the opposite side of the harbour to Tavanakkis was fun for delicious sundaes. Out of town Harry's at Perithia is definitley worth a visit and Ice Dream just before the turning to Perithia is a great ice cream parlour, there is a play area for small children. Lawrence Durrells house, The White House at Kalami is in a beautiful spot and the food was very good. My teenagers enjoyed rock jumping from a beach between Kalami and Agni, we then walked to Agni for lunch and ate at Nikolas Taverna which I would also recommend. If you have children and they want a bit of pedelo fun we found a lovely little beach at Agios Spirodon where you can hire them, I would imagine this beach is busy in the summer months though. We made the journey up to Mount Pantokrator, it is a long twisty journey but the view is worth it. We also found an incredible cave just outside Perithia which we have found no mention of in any guide book, bit of a climb down into it but quite an amazing sight.
This was our first visit to Corfu and we loved it, Villa Loukia has spoilt us for any other villa, I'm sure we will be back.
About the Owner
My husband Nick and I (Lucy) have run a business in England for the past 29 years. We have been visiting Corfu regularly since the children were small. Once we discovered Corfu nowhere else seemed to match it as it worked for us as a perfect holiday destination - quiet, peaceful, beautiful views, secluded bays, good water sports, friendly people and plenty of sun. Even as the children got older, NE Corfu was still the perfect destination - it really does cater for everyone in the family.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We came for tranquility and that is exactly what we got. The villa is exactly right for families - everything is well thought out. Some marvelous places to eat in town and very well priced. Thank you Lucy for letting us stay and also to Julia for all her help with the car. We would like to return in the future. Many thanks. :)

Beautiful villa, stunning location
The best villa we have stayed in, everything about Villa Loukia says quality from the well maintained villa and gardens to the bed linen and towels, even the toaster is a Dualit! Lucy has thought about every possible need and is so helpful and thoughtful with help and information. The views across to Albania are breathtaking , watching the sunrise over the mountains or the moon come up in the evening, it would be easy to stay at the villa all day.

My teenagers enjoyed rock jumping from a beach between Kalami and Agni, we then walked to Agni for lunch and ate at Nikolas Taverna which I would also recommend. If you have children and they want a bit of pedelo fun we found a lovely little beach at Agios Spirodon where you can hire them, I would imagine this beach is busy in the summer months though. We made the journey up to Mount Pantokrator, it is a long twisty journey but the view is worth it. We also found an incredible cave just outside Perithia which we have found no mention of in any guide book, bit of a climb down into it but quite an amazing sight.
This was our first visit to Corfu and we loved it, Villa Loukia has spoilt us for any other villa, I'm sure we will be back.
A luxury villa with astonishing views of Albania
The owners have tastefully furnished and carefully designed this luxury property. The panoramic views of Albania are the icing on the cake but the pool, BBQ, outside seating, immaculate kitchen and each of the bedrooms combine to make this a great family holiday base between the beach and mountains for swimming, mountain biking or just walking. Its only a 15 minute walk into town if you can tear yourself away from the hillside location. You will need a car but you wont want to leave. Even the local supermarket is an asset with its local honey and yoghurt and other produce.
Perfect fortnight in a perfect villa
This was our second visit to Villa Loukia. We spent a year so looking forward to visiting again. Lucy and Nick had done some fantastic alterations to the house, we hadn't believed it coul be improved upon but it is utterly stunning. The character has not changed but such clever attention to detail. It really feels like a home , everything you could need is there . We had a few power cuts (island related, not villa related), and this managed to trip the pump for the pool. When we asked for help, we had an electrician with us in half an hour and a pool chap within three hours. They really have the team to back them up. We had a mixture of ages with us from an eight year old to a twenty year old and the house works perfectly for all ages.
We organised some cleaning while we were there and I would highly recommend that option as it meant us adults could properly relax.
We rented a car this year for the first time and explored much further afield. There are so many glorious places on the island but it was always heaven to get back to Villa Loukia .
If I had one complaint to make it would be that two weeks goes by far too quickly...never enough time at such a magical house! Huge positive reccomendations from us and thanks for such a wonderful holiday in your beautiful home.
Beautiful villa in fabulous position.
Beautiful villa with fabulous views.Great outdoor eating areas, one on veranda with the views and the other a very pretty BBQ area with large table under a pergola. The pool again has the magnificent views and is set in a lovely tranquil rural area with plenty of sun loungers and shade from the olive tree.. The setting gives you the opportunity to totally relax.The local shop is well stocked and people are very friendly. I would highly recommend staying at this excellent villa.
The Pleasure Bubble
Walking into Villa Loukia for the first time, we were stunned by the view from the window across the sea to Albania. And looking around you can tell that the owners have obviously thought about what they would like on a villa holiday and it shows.
Comfy settees, a well equipped kitchen, lots of glasses, air conditioning and ceiling fans, insect blinds, and plugs everywhere.
But it is the extra touches that make this villa stand out, an outdoor refrigerator, ubs plugs, a bar b q in a sheltered tranquil setting. Beautiful gardens. The owner's bedroom and ensuite are gorgeous and we were told that our room was being upgraded this year.
Our lovely bedroom opened onto a large balcony with comfy chairs and sofa where you can watch the sun rise, catch the afternoon breeze and spend all day just relaxing with the changing light of the landscape.
The pool area has plenty of sun loungers and seating with olive trees shading you from the sun, and there are plenty of pool towels.
We did not want to leave the villa, but the local shops and restaurants are a 15 minute walk away and all you have to worry about is the last 50 metres to the villa on the walk home…………. oh and did I mention the view!
Fabulous Villa
This was our fourth visit to Villa Loukia and didn't think the facilities could be improved upon but the owners have made it even better. The new master suite is superb and right up to date along with the extended sitting room and dining area. We had perfect weather all week and it was very hard to pull ourselves away from the pool (which is now heated) to go and explore the nearby beaches and coves. It is just a short walk to Kassiopi and the local shops but the Villa is in a quiet and private place with breathtaking views. The owners have thought of everything to make their guests comfortable and in the event of a rainy spell there are plenty of board games, videos and books on hand to pass the time.
From the Owner
"We literally just stumbled across Villa Loukia whilst on holiday in 2007 and it really was a case of love at first sight. The house was nearing completion but the outside was a complete builder's site and there was no pool. Perhaps it was the fact that the children were beginning to leave home that influenced us into deciding that it was time for a new adventure. Buying a house in Corfu had not been our plan but certainly since making the decision to allow our hearts to rule our heads we have not looked back. We completed in December 2007 and then had a VERY stressful 4 months getting the outside finished, pool constructed, snags repaired, house furnished etc - all from my computer in England and just in time for the 2008 season. In true Greek style it was ready with minutes to spare!"
Activity and Interests
Special interest holidays:
Corfu is very popular with walkers in spring, early summer and autumn. Comfortable climate and lovely scenery, so reminiscent of Gerald Durrell's 'My family and other Animals', attracts walkers at this time of year. Walking in Corfu is both relaxing and a lovely way to unwind by taking in the beautiful surroundings of the countryside with its lush green scenery and numerous wild flowers before the heat of summer. The flora and fauna explosion of spring have to be seen to be fully appreciated and as a backdrop to a relaxed walk nothing could be better to unwind and enjoy this time of year on the island.
Port of Kassiopi is 10-15 min walk. All the unspoilt beaches of the NE coast are within a 10-20 minute drive. Even in August it is possible to find secluded beaches where you can be on your own! Highly recommended - the Eucalyptus lined cove of Chouchoulio, Gialiskari and Agni (best Tavernas on Corfu) or Kalamaki for sand and shallow water for small children.
Easyjet flies to Corfu from 1st April to end October direct from Gatwick daily. Other airlines are Ryanair, Monarch, Flybe, Thomas Cook, Olympic and Aegean. The airport at Corfu Town is a 1 hour drive away. Car hire is advised but not essential. Car hire pick up and drop off available from the airport.
The delightful Venetian Capital, Corfu Town, is situated a 1 hour drive away (approx 40km). It can also be reached by boat and bus. Highly recommended.
Kassiopi 1.5km.
Further Details:
Kelia is a small, tranquil hamlet of houses, spread out through the olive groves approximately 1km from the main road.
Kassiopi is a charming little fishing village, with a traditional port. Tourism has had its influence, but down at the harbour you can still find local fishermen supplying the local restaurants with fresh daily fish. Tavernas, shops, beaches and bars offer something for everyone. Teenagers will appreciate the evening life - with several music bars and 'low key' clubs. It is a safe environment for them to meet other friends.
Water skiing, wake boarding, scuba diving, wind sailing, boat hire all available close by.
Water parks - Aqua Land is the biggest, just west of Corfu Town or the Hydropolis near Acharavi.
Scooter/bike/buggy/rental available in Kassiopi. Numerous boat trips/fishing trips and excursions available locally. Horse riding available on the Avlaki Peninsula.

From the Owner
"Villa Loukia is unusual for NE Corfu because although set in a secluded position in tranquil olive groves, away from other properties, it is also in walking distance of the village of Kassiopi. This is a real bonus as our past experience showed us that with the majority of villas we HAD to drive to the tavernas at night. Using the experience we gained over the years we also wanted to make sure that the villa was well equipped with everything you might want on holiday and that the kitchen was such that you could actually cook in it (if you want to)! The views from Villa Loukia are stunning & it is the location and setting of the house that we fell in love with. Our guests to date all agree! I add blog up-dates to the villa website if you want more information on our adventure."

College News
"College Ready" Documentary Viewing October 15
A documentary tackling college readiness through the lens of the urban-suburban racial divide in Rochester, produced by the Rochester Participatory Education Research Collaborative (RPERC), will premier in Basil 135 on October 15 at 6:00 p.m. Drs. Jim Wood and Jeff Liles, Associate Professors from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. School of Education, are two of the RPERC's founding members.
Wood and Liles worked with other RPERC members, including students and teachers from East High School, Nazareth College faculty, and education graduate students on the film entitled "College Ready." It debuted at the American Educators and Research Association Conference in San Francisco last spring, and its local debut took place in May at the University of Rochester.
The 50-minute documentary compares the differences between students in the city and suburbs when it comes to college readiness. It takes a closer look at common assumptions about college readiness, and frames the critique in an urban, student-centered, research-based cultural and political context.
In addition to the viewing at Fisher, the student producers are also presenting "College Ready" at Rochester-area high schools and colleges.

While durable, nanoweave is meant to withstand environmental stress, rather than blades and focused blows. However, layering enough of it to serve as armor seems feasible. A quick way to do it would be to give it properties equivalent to mithral as a manufacturing material.

Hansi puts on another smile. "Friends, this box has been making the rounds of Fardusk for decades. It is said the soul of a very cruel and intolerable soul was imprisoned within it by a wizard it had wronged. The names have been lost, though storytellers that care to share the tale insert their own to suit their purposes. The tales say that the owner of the box is cursed, though what that curse is changes with the telling. What remains the same in each story is that one can only take ownership of the box. Should someone put it in another's pouch without them knowing, the box will find its way back to the owner. That has been proven to be true, from what I've heard. The other main point in the tales is that it should never be opened, and to my knowledge that has never happened. These days it has become a way to get one over on another, a game, you might say. Some owners have met...unfortunate ends, but certainly nothing that would not be explained by an accident, or crime, or disease, or any other number of perfectly reasonable circumstances."

The box is old, stained, and dirty. It was once rather exquisite looking, with intricate carvings now difficult to see due to wear and a build up of grime. Fine silver chains, tarnished nearly black, hold the lid closed. A large, red gemstone caps the lid itself.
The box radiates strong enchantment magic. Judging from what you can see of the remaining visible carvings, the box may have been crafted to keep something contained within it.
Meant to get more in, but my ride is here. Headed out to the movies. Will post the rest later tonight.

If possible, Hansi's face turns an even darker shade of red. "Er, yes, I suppose, and no I'll not have it back, thank you. I'm not even certain there is a curse, but I'll not take a chance, given its history. This wasn't supposed to happen, him getting advanced warning. It should have been so easy..." He trails off, shooting a dagger glance at his wife, who is laughing with a few people at her table. "Are you sure you want to go through the trouble? Given the size of that gem on it, you could likely get some coins from the next person off a ship that's never heard of it before."

The smile fades from Hansi's face.
"He...he didn't? Why not? Something shiny twinkles in that fop's view and he snaps it up like a packrat. There's no reason for him not to take it unless..."
The innkeeper trails off and his face reddens. Whirls around, eyes searching the common room. From across the way, Mrs. Mancino graces him with a big smile, followed by a wave and a blown kiss. He growls and turns back to the group.
"Well...no harm done, I suppose. I can just...well, hmm." He stares off into space, rubbing his chin so hard he might start taking off skin.
At least half the people that have ever posted in the Succubus in a Grapple thread. Probably more.
I'll preface this by saying that I don't own Emerald Spire, but I've seen bits and pieces as well as played individual levels at cons.
I own the 3E version of Rappan Athuk, before it was redone in one volume for Pathfinder. It's huge. Immense. Sprawling. There's an entire city in one cavern on one level. I'd say it's a safe bet that it is bigger than the Emerald Spire.

Stilgar & Kalaya:
Stilgar hears a familiar voice. "Stilgar? I can't tell you how glad I am to see you." This is punctuated by a soft hoot. You see Kalaya approaching your seat. Hansi smiles, taking the time to dust off the stool next to you and offer it.
Jon & Auric:
You look across the room to the end of the bar and spot Hansi speaking to a dwarf. Sitting next to the dwarf is a female form with an owl perched on her shoulder. Hansi spots the two of you as you stand there and waves you over, a large grin on his face.
I think I've set a spoiler tag record.

Kalaya steps in and moves toward the dwarf. As she gets closer she can hear the sound of Stilgar's familiar voice. The man behind the bar smiling and nodding in response.
Auric and Jon:
The two of you backtrack your way to the Six, winding through a steadily growing amount of traffic. The common room is filling with sailors and others. You note that Pliska seems to have arrived before you, sitting at the end of one of the long tables with a bowl of chowder on the table before her that she is dutifully working her way through.

You focus your attention on the box, and your stomach gives a turn and cramps. There's a foul smell from the box, and it feels wrong in your hand to the point where it is a physical effort not to toss the thing away. Strong aura of evil emanating from the box.
Auric focuses on the box for a moment and a grimace crosses his face, as if he'd smelled something bad.

When I have a bit of time, I'll compile a list of campaign notes for handy reference. Place names, a who's who of NPCs, and others.
Ham grins back. "No trouble, ma'am. I'd rather cart you around than the load o' barrels I have to drag back with me." He waves a broad hand before heading into the warehouse.
After following the porter's directions, Kalaya indeed finds a large building built on the docks, with a wooden sign hanging on chains above the doors. No words are scribed there, just a single image burned into the wood.
Coming through the door, you take a moment for your eyes to adjust to the dimmer interior, as there only appear to be windows to either side of the door to let light into the common room. Many long trestle tables and benches take up most of the space, with wrought iron chandeliers holding candles hanging above. Seated at the end a long bar is a familiar looking dwarf, mug in hand, having a conversation with a man behind the bar.
Jon & Auric:
The first thing you notice about the box Auric pulls out is the large jewel affixed to the top of it, which looks like it may well be valuable. The rest isn't so impressive. Tarnished silver chains secure the lid of the weathered wooden box. The hinges look loose, and the paint in the inlays on the box itself have mostly worn away, leaving it looking like a shabby relic of an older time.

"I know very little of your homeland. From what I understand, yours is an insular culture and without steady trade, we know next to nothing of your land. I happen to have made the acquaintance of two dwarven folk from your land. Outcasts. What little knowledge I have of your home comes from them. Some of what they describe is...unpleasant. However, knowing them to be exiles, I expect bitterness to color their recollections. I'm sure it's a fine place."
"Baal? Ah, we call him Baalok here. He is well known. The Crafters Guild in particular are fond of him. We are a city of many peoples, hence many gods are represented on the Street of Gods. Temples and shrines exist in abundance. If you have spiritual needs to attend, you will have no problem doing so."
This is a line break to test something. For some reason, spoilers that come second in line don't seem to want to open when I do the preview. I'm putting this in to bump the others down a bit and see if that helps. Yes, it did. Apparently I just have to bump the second one down below my avatar.
Ham sets a steady pace, providing a slightly bumpy but tolerable ride. He points out places of interest during your trip, but you note that all the locations he bothers to mention he praises for their drink, or occasionally food. The city seems to go on forever. So many people, moving about the streets, you imagine being on the sea again, tossed about in a little boat, but the waves are made of faces.
Your progress seems to be all downhill. Eventually, the ride levels out and the mixture of smells in the air is dominated by fish. Merchants sell it; fresh, smoked, pickled, kippered, they yell to be heard over the clamor of the others as well as the general noise of the docks.
Ham pulls the cart to a stop near the doors of a large, long building.
"Here's my stop, ma'am. The Six is just down this road on the left. Big stone and timber building. Sign is wood with the six wit' eight tails burned into it. I wouldn't mind wetting my whistle, so you can either wait while I do my business here and I kin' take you over so's I can have a pint before heading back, or you can head there now. I don't mind either way."
Auric & Jon:
Go ahead and let me know your plans when the two of you are done catching up.
Male Human(ish) Level 4 RPG Monkey
Marza gives a half smile. "You seem like a good sort. Yer bird's not messy either. I'll admit I was worried. We had this sea captain staying once, in the old place, and he had this parrot," she grimaces. "Nasty mess. I'd have cooked the thing on a spit if I'd half the chance, and could find anyone that would actually eat it. I'll tell Ham ta collect you when he's ready to head out."
Not much later, a large, beefy fellow with a bald head and crooked nose comes up and introduces himself as Ham. He leads you out to the side of the building where a handcart awaits and offers for you to sit in it while he hauls it down to the docks.
Jon & Auric:
As Jon moves across the market towards the two, he sees Pliska scowl and put something in his hand before stalking off into the crowd. Auric meets Jon halfway across the crowded space, and half the party is once again reunited! Huzzah!
Male Human(ish) Level 4 RPG Monkey
The tent appears to be a tea shop. They have a bewildering array of teas which, as Pliska noted, are amazingly expensive. A pot of some of the rarer teas cost more than a tankard of ale. They also have an assortment of biscuits and other things to nibble on while you drink your tea. There are tables out front of the tent as well, offering a decent view of Cerys' tent. You are able to catch sight of Pliska leading Auric into the tent a couple of hours later, only to emerge a short time later.
"Depending on where my charges need to go, I could be anywhere. O'course, with the clink yer addled plant wizard friend dropped in my hands, I could afford to stick around if ye needed my help..." She runs a hand through her unruly mop of hair. "Nine Hells, he's practically bought me outright! I can't just...Mitras' honeypot! Here!" She reaches into her cloak, fumbling around a bit, before producing three ceramic chits. "You tell him to take these and hang onto 'em. The rest he gave me will get ye my exclusive services fer at least the next moon." She glares at you. "Well, what are ye waitin' fer? Go meet yer friend, already."
Hansi nods sagely. "Best the people who do best have the power. Those that need to be led are still led, and not just because some jackanape had the good fortune to be born of a particular bloodline." He stops to rush off and greet some new visitors, laughing with them and sharing a bit of conversation before returning to your table. [b]"Fardusk is self-ruled, yes, and claims much of the arable land around it. There are other nearby settlements. Many accept Fardusk law, and thus are provided its protection in exchange for the proper trade rights and tariffs." He dips a finger into his mug and traces a map on the tabletop.
"South of here, the Tindal empties into the ocean. West of that point are what some call the Jewel Cities." He snorts. Bit of wishful thinking if you ask me. They cling to the coastline of a stinking morass of a swamp, surviving mostly through trade with us and other more fortunate places. Why the folk there never moved to more hospitable climes is beyond me."[/b]
I'm the spawn of a sad, sad, ow.
Marza wrinkles her nose. "I know the place. Ye'd be better off finding your friends and bringing them back here, unless you've a need to stay near the docks. I hear the Six is full of thieves." She scratches idly at the shiny scar tissue of her burned arm. "I got a man bein' sent down that way to pick up a shipment from the docks today. He can show you where to go. It's not far off his way."
Male Human(ish) Level 4 RPG Monkey
Not as such, no. I hear you dwarves still have true kings. Here in Fardusk, we have two councils, the High and the Low. The High Council elects an illustrious individual to the position of Overseer for eight years, provided there is no majority objection from the Low Council. The Overseer makes decisions regarding most everything not related to trade, though the Councils can overrule the Overseer with enough votes. It's a bit more complicated, but works out well for the city in the end, I think. The nobility have the perks and comforts that wealth affords, but without a position on the High Council, they have no more power than a common peddler."
Male Human(ish) Level 4 RPG Monkey
Cerys writes out a return note, seals it with a signet ring, and hands it to you, along with another coin. "I thank you for your service and your swift delivery of this letter." That done, he turns back to oversee the laborers setting up shop, not sparing you another glance. Pliska shrugs and inclines her head towards another tent across the way.
"I hear they serve good tea, if yer one what can afford it." There's a long pause, as she seems occupied with a stone she's nudging with the toe of her shoe. "If ye wanted to wait fer yer friend there, I kin run that letter back to the Six, get him here an' be sure you know when he shows."
Pliska inclines her head toward a large green and gold tent across the way. "I sent him ta wait fer ye over there. I hear they got good tea, if ye kin afford it."
"Why yes," says Mancino with a hint of surprise. "I assumed that's why you and your companions are here. It's up on the Heights, the cliffs that rise up above the city above the Nobles' Quarter, along with the towers of all the other prominent wizards that live here, and the Overseer's Palace, of course, along with a few rich folk that value prestige over prudence, building their homes so close to wizards. If you wish, I can take you to the roof later. You can see it from there."
Marza shrugs the shoulder of her good arm and gives a noncommittal grunt. "I have my good and bad nights. Kess said ye might need help makin' yer way around the city. Where you headed?"

Your explanation for your interest leaves Mancino momentarily open-mouthed and speechless. He takes another long pull from his mug, then goes to take a second, only to find that it is empty. He gestures patience and pulls two more mugs, handing one to you. You find upon taking a swallow that it is obviously the good stuff he normally holds in reserved. Not watered at all. He sits across from you and leans forward conspiratorially.
"Var-- rather, the aforementioned personage can be summed up by this particular story. As one of the most powerful wizards in Fardusk, perhaps the most powerful, depending on who is ranking them, he is quite used to doing what he likes, when he likes, without care to whom he causes displeasure. It is said that a few years ago he violated a certain monastery, devoted to the Queen of Air and Darkness. As a goddess of vengeance, it is not surprising that retribution was swift and harsh. It is said that he was cursed with a terrible wasting disease. No healer could halt its progress, and no cleric could counter the magic, save the followers of the goddess herself. No cleric of Hers would do so until Var--he atoned for his crime. It is said he left the city and was gone for months, searching for a way to lift the curse without bowing to the will of Mitras. Now it's said he's returned and the curse no longer has power over him. I don't know if that's true, but strange lights and sounds have been seen from the windows of his tower on the heights, which have been dark since he left, so he certainly has returned."
Male Human(ish) Level 4 RPG Monkey
The man, despite the confident sneer that crosses his face when you mention Mancino's name, still takes a step back as you reveal the box and the jewel set in its lid sparkles in the lamplight. He raises both hands in a warding gesture.
"Oh, no. Mancino will not make a fool of me. His offer is as unappealing as that great, crumbling ruin of an inn he owns. Take it back to him and tell him he'll need to be a great deal more clever to pull one over on Ceryl. Now unless you intend to buy something, I suggest you leave." The smile returns to his face, gold tooth flashing.
The smile remains fixed on Mancino's face, but somehow does not reach his eyes. "That would be a name that many know. He is a personage of some...renown, here in Fardusk. What...what sort of business would you have with Varras? The tales about him recently have been, well, quite fascinating." He takes the time to pour himself a drink and takes a long pull off of it while listening to your answer.
The man turns and approaches, taking the letter when you offer it. He smiles, and a gold tooth glitters in the light. He holds the letter to his nose and inhales, smiling again. Taking a small knife from his belt, he cracks the seal and begins reading. As his eyes scan the lines, the smile fades. He begins scowling. As he finishes reading, he seems to control himself and the scowl fades, replaced with an arrogant sneer.
"I see. I thank you, sir, for this timely delivery." He fishes around in the pouch at his belt and hands you a silver coin. "For your troubles. There will be another for you if you will abide while I write a note in return and deliver it back to your mistress."
Had a party that was so used to using magical lighting, that when they needed actual fire they discovered to their dismay that no one in the party was carrying any torches. They had to go back and loot bodies for wood and cloth (one was actually carrying oil for some reason) to craft a makeshift torch.

The ale passes quickly enough, and you are offered a second for a mere four shields. The serving boy quickly points out the copper coins in your handful as you sort through them, apparently hoping to hurry you along. Later you see a great, jaundiced-looking beast of a man lumber into the common room with a large cudgel over his shoulder. Hansi quickly moves to confer with the brute before leaving him to wander over to a chair by the door, where he begins gobbling up a great trencher full of seafood stew.
Later, Hansi comes over to your table. "I conferred with my doorman again, and I'm afraid Reef noted no one resembling your friends other than Auric. He has standing orders to notify me when he does."
Pliska shrugs. "Suit yerself. Easiest way to be rid of it would be to pawn it off on some rube. I kin give ye a list o' folk who'd deserve it. I kin take ye ta the Street o' the Gods right enough, but it's a bit of a hike. Ye'll likely want to be ready to part with yer clink as well. Miracles don't come cheap, I hear."
As you reach the Wharf Market, you find the space is crammed full of merchant stalls, each clamoring and calling to potential customers. You find the din incredible, as if every person in your village had gathered together and started yammering away. Pliska leads you through the shoppers to a large, blue tent with all manner of rugs and carpets draped over frames, rolled and sitting in piles before the entrance. A bored looking fellow in a chain shirt holding a staff stands guard at the entrance, watching over the wares. Pliska brushes past him into the tent with you in tow. Inside a man with an olive complexion whose black hair and beard glisten in the lamplight looks up at your approach. He gives a quick glance to Pliska and seems to dismiss her presence, focusing instead on you as he beams a large smile, exposing an expanse of white teeth save for one that appears to be made of gold.
"Ah, welcome, my friend! What can I offer you this fine day?"
Pliska leads you to a large, open space broken up by rows of wooden stalls and cloth tents. More are being set up, while others are being stocked, workers unloading and stacking goods under the watchful eye of merchants and their guards. Pliska stops to ask a question here and there, before leading you to a large, blue tent on the far side of the square. A pair of broad men are offloading carpets from a wagon, carrying them inside or arranging them out front at the direction of a well-dressed man. His hair and beard are black and curly, and glisten in the early morning sun.
Pliska gives a nod in his direction. "He's the one yer lookin' for."
Kalaya's meal is uninterrupted. She sits and watches folk come in and eat, others simply grabbing food, paying, and walking out again with it. Other travelers come down and settle their tabs before leaving. Eventually she's alone with a couple of the staff who busy themselves with cleaning and other chores.
Footsteps on the stairs draw her attention. She sees one of the sisters descending. After seeing the withered arm, she realizes it is Marza. She notes your attention and gives you a nod before moving to the bar.
Male Human(ish) Level 4 RPG Monkey
Pliska listens to your explanation of Jon. She shakes her head. "Hard to wrap my mind around that sort of thing, but ye know him, so I'll take yer word for it. In the city, if you've got magic, then you've got power. Most folk that can do tricks like he did when we got...er, bothered by some locals, that gets you set up nice, either as a major mover, or as the bully boy for one of 'em."
At the mention of temples, she frowns. "Aye, you go uptown to the Street of the Gods, an' you can't throw a stone without hitting an idol. A lot of 'em don't like...my kind of people. There's likely some what would put up with me bein' around, but I don't know who they'd be. Know of a couple of folk who are versed in the arts that aren't complete a#*&&%+@s. They might be able to help you for a bit o' clink, or at least tell you how you might rid yerself of it. I know the easiest way is to give it away to someone who takes it of their own free will. Then the curse passes with it."
"Who? The folk over at the Six? Hansi's the owner and operator. He likes to think of himself as a man o' the people. Keeps building up his fortunes so he might get himself on the City Council someday, or so they say. His wife's runs a bit hot, both in temper and appetite--an' I mean both her eatin' and the other sort. Word is she's cuckolding him regular. Might be yer runnin' one o' her love letters," she says with a grin. "They got a bunch o' staff to wait tables, cook, clean, pour drinks, all that stuff, plus some bully boys to keep order and break skulls when its needed. Main one's Reef. They say he's the bastard offspring of o' merrow."
Male Human(ish) Level 4 RPG Monkey
Your night's sleep is interrupted only once, and that by a nightmare of wandering down to the common room in the wee hours to find all its residents sitting at tables with the tops of their heads gone and their brains missing. The morning brings daylight that burns away the night's terrors, along with the smells of food from downstairs. Whisperwing is careful to lean out the narrow window rather than soil the room when nature calls.
You see no sign of Kess or Marza, but the staff tells you they should be awake in a couple of hours. In the meantime, there is warm bread from a bakery down the street, as well as cheese and fruit ready to be had.
Pliska shrugs. "Usin' you, yeah. Messing, I don't think so. They don't even know you. You're a means to an end. Mancino jus' figured you'd get the thing to his wife's lover and cause him some grief. Wife figured she could use yer friend ta stop it, not caring what happens to the messenger. I don't even know what it does. Word on the street lets a tout know not to mess with it and not to take it as payment for services. I've never even seen the thing. Supposed to be cursed, by a wizard or a demon or some such."
She keeps walking for a time, then slows, looking over her shoulder at you and biting her lip before speaking. You can see she has rather pronounced canines to go with the horns.
This friend o' yers, Jon. What's his game? He's got all kinds of powerful magic, but then hires me like he's just some lost rube, tossing me handfuls o' money like he's got no sense of its worth nor wit to suss it out. Is he playin' me? I feel like I got my head on backwards an' I don't like it."
Pliska nods. "Wharf market? I'll have ta ask, but I can find him well enough. Lookin' fer some new tapestries for yer castle? There's better weavings ta be had uptown."
Hansi smiles back. "There's a positive attitude! That wins half the struggle. You'll be reunited with one friend soon. The others should follow sure enough. Have a seat here and I'll see that you're taken care of. I can offer you a room with a lovely view of the docks for a mere three Towers. Your first tankard is on the house, as a friend of a friend." Master Mancino hustles off, and shortly thereafter a boy drops off a tall tankard. The ale tastes a bit watered to you.

Pliska sighs, sopping up stew with a crust of bread and wolfing it down, before downing a swallow from her mug and stuffing two more pieces of black bread into her satchel. "Awright then. I don't tout without cash up front, but you paid well for the first trip so I'll ignore that rule this once. Where to?"
She catches the silver coin and makes it disappear after giving it a quick glance. "Name's Pliska. Ye run with a tall, scraggly plant-wizard name o' 'Jon Commoner.'" She snorts. "Cheeky thing ta call yerself when ya can make plants grow and choke the life outta people. 'Commoner.'" She makes a rude noise before continuing. "Anyway, story is that yer pal Jon came inta the Six early this morn, guided by yers truly. Happened to overhear an exchange 'tween him an the mistress o' the house. The missus sent yer pal to warn Ceryl, so he won't take what it is yer carryin' if ya give it to him. Means yer stuck wit' the cursed thing. Jon's waitin' on you ta show, but he don't know nothin' bout any of this. Jus' carried the letter from the missus warnin' Ceryl 'bout it. I asked 'round 'bout it. Seems whatever yer carryin' ta give ta Ceryl is bewitched. Some dark thing what puts a curse on the one that carries it."
"Only two Brightblades in the world: me and my sister. I'm told I've a bigger heart than Marza, but that's not true. She's just got a gruffer exterior. Speaking of which, make sure the bird don't make a mess of the room. She'll have a fit. Rest well." The night passes without incident unless there's anything else you wish to do during your time here.
Master Mancino's face takes on a sad air as he shakes his head. "Alas, no, unless my staff has been lax in informing me. I've passed the description of good Auric's companions to them with orders to notify me should someone matching them enter the establishment. The gnome...Magnus? He would be most easily spotted. Not many of their folk come into Fardusk. The kobolds in the Undercity are not kind to them, and they have sway with the Lower Council, so the gnomish folk tend to avoid...ah, but you aren't here to listen to me ramble on politics. Your friend Auric should return soon and I'll bring any others of your companions to you should they be made known. Meanwhile, sit! I'll have any refreshment you require brought. Consider this your home away from home. My prices are reasonable and I strive to be a gracious host. When Reef rolls his lazy carcass off his cot, I'll check again to be sure none came in late after I retired."

So I had the same thing happen to Auric's spoiler in this last post. Adding an extra couple of returns between that one and the one above solved the problem.
I'd just like to observe that this group has an amazing facility for avoiding trouble. That could come in handy in a place like Fardusk.

Technology Can Tame Your To-Do List
Why Wait Until Tomorrow When You Are Connected Today?
July 2014 | By Maureen Link
Business doesn't stop because you are waiting to catch a flight or you go to your child's baseball game. Why does connectivity have to stop when you walk out of your place of business? With today's connectivity, location shouldn't matter anymore. Cloud software, mobile apps, and WiFi technology mean your business is virtually wherever you are, giving you the freedom to work on your terms and maintain control of your company and your life.
Instead of using your mobile device to create to-do lists and calendar reminders, really leverage your device to get things done. We all have been in the situation where we aren't connected and we have an idea or remember an issue that needs to be addressed. So, it goes on the to-do list, and that to-do list keeps growing.
If you can use WiFi to connect to your business from anywhere, you can minimize your to-do list by actually taking care of your to-do item in that moment. For example, you don't need to leave the baseball field to run back to the office to send an invoice when you can do it from your mobile device while sitting on the bleachers.
Evaluate the software platforms you use in all areas of your business from accounting to marketing to find out if a mobile solution exists and what features are available. Chances are, no matter what programs you are using, there is an app for that.
Controlling your to-do list allows you to help improve your productivity and run your business on your terms.
Improve Employee Engagement
From emergency dental work to train delays, employees face unavoidable productivity blockers every day. Giving your valued employees the flexibility they need while helping them maintain productivity will help them to strike a balance between professional and personal needs. Encourage your employees to stay connected in the same way you do. When they are away from the office, employees can use WiFi to access email, documents, and other business-critical platforms.
Maximize Your WiFi Service
All of this flexibility and convenience won't do much to help you run your business better if you are racking up data charges. That is why your WiFi network is so important. Having a WiFi hotspot in your place of business can be a perk for your customers, but it's also a benefit for you while you are at other locations. Leverage speed advantages of WiFi while avoiding cellular data charges. Time Warner Cable Business Class customers can visit the WiFi Coverage Map to check the locations of the free hotspots nationwide.
