|Ligging vakantiehuis
Eigenaar bediend, max. 6 personen, The Villa Clara begane grond is een onlangs gerestaureerde vrijstaande villa gelegen op slechts 100 meter van de veerhaven. Het is ook iets minder dan 5 minuten lopen van het station en op minder dan 100 meter van het meer en het 'Lido' een privé strand met zand en ligstoelen, waar de toeristen kunnen genieten van de zeer gunstige cafe / restaurant op het strand allemaal open dag tot laat in de avond. Het appartement te huur is gelegen op de begane grond van de vrijstaande villa. Hoewel bij de spoorwegen en schepen er geen lawaai van treinen, omdat zij lopen in de berg zodat het niet te zien noch te horen.
De villa, met zijn 300 vierkante meter grote tuin is gelegen in een zeer ideale positie, heeft 2 grote masterbedrooms, 2 badkamers, een woonkamer met keuken, buiten de tuin een tafel met stoelen en ligzetels bieden de mogelijkheid om de maaltijden buiten te nemen, de beste vakantie.
Een grote privé garage voor de klanten met een auto beschikbaar is.
Cara villa in Varenna centrum: villa Cara is gelegen in Varenna, een korte wandeling naar het treinstation en op minder dan 100 meter van de veerhaven. Winkels, restaurants, Lido het strand overzicht beschikbaar in het appartement.
Pls kindky bezoek mijn eigen website www. apartmentsvarenna. com toonde voor de recensies van deze advertentie naar meer foto's kaarten en informatie van deze 2 slaapkamers appartement te zien en vragen me voor de exacte prijzen en beschikbaarheid dank.
You cannot find a better location for visiting Lake Como. You can walk to everywhere.
Having a garage available for use is a real plus because there is very little parking in Varenna.
The boiler and Wi-Fi router are in the apartment above. The electricity went off in the apartment above and we had no heat, hot water or Wi-Fi. We called the owner and within 15 minutes he had the electricity turned back on in the apartment above. We were very impressed with such quick response.
It is extremely quite.
As I stated above, the Wi-Fi router is in the apartment above so the signal is weak.
The washing machine is outside and while it is covered the area in front of the wash machine is not covered. So if it's raining while you're trying to wash cloths, one person has to stand over the person putting the cloths in and taking them out of the washing machine with a number of umbrella.
It was extremely difficult to get the burners on the stove to hold a flame. Normally after a few seconds of heating, the burner will hold the flame. But that was not the case with these burners. I took almost as long to get the flame to hold as it did to cook something. One of the burners would never hold the flame.
The CONS are minor compared to the PROS. I would definitely go back to stay at this property again.
The villa is excellently located, few minutes walk from station and waterfront. We had Villa Clara at the bottom and our friends had Villa Angelo above us. Really reccommend if you want to go with more people but still want some privacy. It was lovely to be able to wander up and down between each others villas.
The garden space outside of Villa Clara is very spacious and lovely to relax peacefully in but also for our young children to play in as there was a slide. As Villa Clara was at the bottom our villa was comfortably cool even though the weather was very hot.
The 2 bedrooms gave us flexibility in sleeping arrangements as one of the rooms can fit in a double bed, a single bed and a cot with plenty of space.
Owner was very welcoming......apartment was lovely with everything we needed,..lots of clean towels, etc. easy walk to MANY restaurant choices and to the beach and ferry. Owner let us use the washing machine which was a lovely mid trip bonus for us! this is the ground floor unit with 2 more apartments above, i don't know if its possible for a larger group to rent out multiple apts.....part of our group hiked to the top of the hill to see the castle
The location could not be better. Walk everywhere but a quiet peaceful retreat when you need to relax. The apartment was clean and well cared for, and roomy enough for 2 couples like us or a family. We took the ferry several times to visit other towns, but came back for dinner in Varenna. I can recommend L'Orso restaurant near the ferry as well as Il Molo and Varenna Mon Amour. The train location is excellent. Take the train to Tirano then into Switzerland for a lovely day trip.The Bernina Express as well as the regular Swiss train is easily accessed from Tirano. There are many guidebooks, maps and recommendations at Villa Clara for your use.
A perfect home base for exploring Lake Como and nearby areas. This apartment was clean, spacious and comfortable with 2 bathrooms and had all of the amenities in a "home away from home" (including wifi, satellite TV, etc.) but for us the real bonus was the location, the security of the garage parking and the darling private large garden where ,weather permitting early March, took our meals. My husband and I like to have a car when we travel in Italy and were pleased to discover just how close this place was to everything we needed. It was easy walk to the center of Varenna (and it's charming walkway overlooking the lake), the ferry boat dock and the Varenna train station. This allowed for us and our friends to be independent as we explored the area together whether it was to take a ferry to go shopping in Bellagio (or to see one of the famous villas), or to take the train to Milan (our friends even took a fast train to Venice for one night) or to meet for coffee or a drink at one of the cafes in Varenna. We had a lot of privacy since the owners were only around on the weekends, but marilena, who lives in the village center, was always nearby if we needed anything. Great place. Would definitely return.

I stared at the graves of the members of my family, their names etched in the stones placed in the mounds where their bodies lay, forever silenced....I stood a small girl before the tower which was Mrs. Davis, her dark, shadowy face looking down upon me. Quietly I dawned the clothes of a servant and an apron, set to work at Moorehouse Hall. I shed tears in my sleep, waking from dreams of memories, nightmarish reality....I was taller, though I was still the smallest servant at Moorehouse. Mrs. Davis turned upon me, her brow formed into a firm frown as she told me I would look after the Master's babe, known infamously by all the servants as a demon....I found comfort in the strange child's presence as I cared for the girl named Lilith. I wished to know what wisdom was contained behind the blackness which was her eyes, the mystery....I held the child, sang lullabies to her in the night, and read any books that I laid my hands on to her....I spoke of my family as she looked up at me with those knowing, glassy eyes, as if she understood....to Lilith I completely poured my heart.
One evening I sat, rocking the babe's small form in my eyes as I gazed out onto another evening's beautiful sunset. It had such beauty, such magnificence, a serene happiness in which I longed....a tear rolled down my cheek, sadness enveloping me....I glanced down to the child, sniffling with a soft smile.....at least I had her...it felt as if she truly cared. The sunset's rays cast the orange and pink light into Lilith's black reflecting pools, tossing the light of life into her face....
A smile played at Lilith's small, pink lips....I returned the smile, but turned my gaze away, the house beginning to groan and whimper, the sound of cracking and popping drawing my attention away....in one great gust the glass of the window panes shattered, unnumbered shimmering daggers flying to me and wind throwing my hair into a wild stream....the world seemed to swirl about me in a crazed spin....
I woke abruptly from my bed, my lashes fluttering. Warm sunlight spilled onto my face. Was that a dream, or a reality? It seemed so real, the emotions still fresh and wild within me. Slowly, I stood from my plush mattress, staring about the chamber. For a moment, I wondered where I was, all of it appearing so foreign. Where was the babe, Lilith? What had happened?
A knock came upon the door, making me turn. "Yes?" I replied instinctively. The door opened, and a servant slipped inside.
"A letter for you, Miss. Bradley." the maid murmured, curstying slightly and holding out a piece of folded parchment. Miss. Bradley, was it not Burns...
'Elizabeth' was written in a scrawling, spidery hand upon the folded paper. Slowly, I broke the seal and gazed to the words inside.
A gift for you, for all that you have given me.
A life like a sunset.
I smiled, tilting my head in puzzlement. So...none of it was a dream? With the paper still in my hand, I bolted from my room, down the stairs and into the parlor, as if knowing my way as if I had lived in this strange house all my life. I gasped as I entered, my mother seated in a delicate chair with sewing in her lap, garbed in an elegant velvet gown. With her handsome face she looked up and grinned widely, "Good morning, my Sweet, have you slept well?"
Tears bloomed in my eyes, and I ran to her, throwing my arms about her form. Her familiar smell was only moderately changed, hinted with a rosy perfume. She laughed, suprised, "What-Elizabeth?"
"I love you, Mother." I cried.
She put her slender arms around me, stroking my hair. Herwarm breath brushed against my cheek as she murmured, "I love you too."

34 year old Steven Rowley entered guilty pleas on a number of counts.
He was arrested earlier this month when police pulled him over and found cocaine in his truck.
He was also arrested last june when drug agents raided his home, finding cocaine, more than 200 pot plants and other drugs.
Guns, money, a boat and a motorcycle were seized during the raid, which Rowley forfeited at Wednesday's court appearance.
John Deleo of the Hancock County Drug Task Advisor Board says the items will be sold and the proceeds will go back into the task force to support it.":
Members of the task force say the forfeited items and money could add up to 20-thousand dollars.
And they tell us it couldn't come at a better time for the agency with state and federal budget cuts pending.

Cerberus EncounterMature
As Jude was about to open the door, she heard a whining, scratching noise outside.
"Jeezus Christ! What's going on out there?!"
She kept her voice low, and they both leant against the door to keep it closed.
"Should we go out there? If we get rid of whatever it is now, we won't have to worry about it later."
Caden didn't sound as if he relished the idea, but some things just have to be done.
"Okay. We're taking that fucker out then."
Jude replied; checking the Sig. Her worst fear was having to stop and reload at the very minute something large, angry, infected and hungry charged in her general direction.
They stepped outside at the same time.
A large dog stood slobbering and growling at the wall opposite the doorway. The dog looked like a large Doberman, with patches of flesh missing, revealing ribs and other skeletal parts. His yellowing fangs were bared and his red tongue hung over black lips. The minute he saw Caden and Jude, he charged towards them. They simultaneously raised their firearms and sprayed the dog with bullets.
"A Cerberus; BOW; Bio-Organic Weapon."
Caden recited that chunk of information; though he knew Jude probably knew more about them than he did. Jude nodded in agreement, reassuring him that his information was correct.
They examined the carcass of the freshly-killed Cerberus.
"Ugly brutes."
Jude kicked the body with contempt, her boots getting splashed with blood in the process. There was a sound like bones cracking, and Jude must have spotted something unusual, because she crouched down beside the dead Cerberus.
Caden stared with disgust as Jude slipped her hand into the open wounds on the dog's stomach, splitting them open so that more crimson liquid leaked out, and innards began to seep out.
"What the hell are you doing?"
He asked; bending down to get a closer look.
"I saw something silver through one of the big wounds. He might have eaten some piece of evidence."
Jude replied. She poked her hand in further, until it was in up to above her wrist. More blood, and finally she withdrew her hand, something clenched in her bloodied fist.
"What is it?"
Caden asked.
"It's a key. There's a plastic tag on the key-ring that might have some information like room-numbers on it, but the writing is covered in blood. I think the key itself was in the dog's stomach, but escaped into the bloodstream when we shot through his internal organs."
She explained; pocketing the key.
"We can try it in each door. It has to fit one of them."
Caden answered, and they walked towards the next door as if nothing had happened. Jude wiped her bloodied hands on the hem of her grey, black and white camo-print tee-shirt, giving the key a quick shine-up in the process.
"Yeah, let's keep going and try the key."
She agreed, as they kept walking.

Ketan Badhwar is the Supply Chan Solutions and ECommerce Lead (Pacific) at GEODIS. In this guest post, he shares his thoughts about how the last mile is one of the highest focus areas of eCommerce logistics. After all, millions are being spent by both seasoned players and startups alike to solve the last mile puzzle.
Now the logical question is - why so much focus on last mile? The last mile cost represents approximately 28% of the total cost of delivery. However, according to independent estimates, depending on the industry, the last mile cost may represent up to 40% of the transport cost of goods.
Money is being invested in new technologies and innovations alike for example electric vehicles, drones, cycles (for very congested delivery roots) combined with route optimisation technology, GPS, IOT and Big Data to identify and manage this leg of transport.These are very exciting developments with huge implications on the way companies engage with clients and deliver convenience. With introduction of Bots and Artificial Intelligence, some human interaction is also expected to be replaced by technology to enable customer interaction.
What last mile technology your company decides to employ is determined by your industry, geography, socio–political fabric and infrastructure as main factors. However, instead of just focusing on technology deployment and cost optimisation, the focus must come back to the customer. Here are four steps for last mile strategy success:
Determine the positive differentiation factorDo you wonder why, despite the advancement of very large eCommerce companies with billions in their war chests, your corner florist or cake shop with a simple booking tool often has thriving business?
It is the customer experience, the personalisation factor, the warm factor, or whatever you may call it. It is imperative that your customer feels a connection with you to repeat the business. In advanced economies especially, positive customer experience trumps technology and cost factors. Start with discovering the 'X' factor which attracts customers to your business model.
Talk to your customers and service providersIf you are working in transport, there are chance that DIFOT (delivered in full on time) is one of your scorecards. While DIFOT is certainly an important measure of last mile success, it is a good idea to pick up the phone and talk to your customers and service providers to find out the ground level situation.
You will be surprised at how many more insights you receive when you put the numbers aside and apply the "human" aspect to any situation. Following this, classify your learnings in categories ranging from exemplary to need urgent improvements.
Cascade down the learnings and improve the obviousTry this experiment: Go to a review website for a service with average reviews and notice the pattern of reason for the negative experience. What did you notice? Surprisingly, the reasons are similar for most positive / negative experiences.
Therefore, as a third step, once you have classified what works best and what does not, talk to your supply chain management team. Share your organisation's vision and expectations with the last mile partners, your internal staff etc. Conduct training and make the organisation understand the benefits of a focused approach. On the other hand, quickly find out what did not work and how you can eliminate the occurrence.
Find synergies with partnersThe way your business model works is unique. While standardisation works well in other businesses, standardisation can stem your innovation in eCommerce logistics.
You want to work with partners who offer flexibility and speed of execution rather then a large standardised solution because it works for other customers. Staying relevant by differentiation and innovation should be your top focus, and you should maintain these standards when choosing your last mile partner.

Mary-Margaret has only one friend in the whole world. A friend who doesn't think that Mary Margaret needs any others. Jenna only wants to help Mary-Margaret and she does quite often. Whenever Mary's life becomes too much, Jenna is only too happy to step in.
My name is Mary-Margaret Crane. Mary-Margaret was my great grandmother's name and my Mother loved her dearly…apparently. I was a miracle child. My mother had a one night stand with some guy who was totally unworthy of her. Nine months later I opened my eyes to the world that would eventually only let me down. I was a loner in elementary school. I hated my school, mostly because of the fact that people thought I was stupid because I was poor, so I got stuck in remedial classes. Right before I got to seventh grade my Mom married Frank. They'd been dating for a while and my Mom was totally love struck. I know she wouldn't marry for money, but I'm pretty sure she won the husband jackpot. He doesn't live in a mansion...but it's pretty close. Frank is really cool but he used to be in the military so he has a lot of rules and stuff at his house. Seventh grade is where it all begins though. My mother may have won the jackpot but I got gypped. When we moved, I all but got confined to this one side of the house. Frank has this rule about not coming onto the Master suite on the third floor and they were up there for like a month after they got married, which just left me to deal with Anderson. He wasn't so bad though. He was 19 and he was on the computer a lot. But he was nice to me from day one. At least at first. Which is where my real story begins.

Sainsbury's Online raise over £3,000

Sainsbury`s Online choose Back Up as their charity of the year
Sainsbury`s Online staff ditch their razors for Back Up
Back Up is delighted to have been chosen by Sainsbury's Online to be their charity of the year. Following a staff vote, they selected Back Up out of 10 shortlisted charities and plan to raise money through internal fundraising and by supporting some of Back Up`s challenge events in 2012.
They kicked things off with a sponsored moustache growing event last month. So far the 29 members of the team who took part have raised over £3000 which is a great start to their year of fundraising.
At the end of the month, a panel made up of some of the team`s female colleagues, voted on each of the moustaches using different categories which included 'Best Comedy Tache' and '70s Pornstar'. There were prizes for the overall winner and booby prizes for a few of the cheats. Back Up`s Outreach & Support manager, Sean McCallion, joined them for the prize giving and gave a quick update on Back Up's work over the past month and a look at what's coming up. Everyone was eager to get home and have a shave after a quick drink at the local pub.
Programme Manager Miles Stuart said, "It's been a fantastic team building event and has really helped to bring together the disparate teams which make up this project".
We're looking forward to working with the Sainsbury's Online team over the coming year. A huge thanks for the fantastic effort so far!

Chapter 28
We were lucky, the Stalker managed to crash on the outside of Eden, we took what we needed and headed for the mountains, it has been month, month hard walking, a month of extreme desert Wastes, a month of nothing but sand and heat, but at last we are finally in the heart of the mountains. Long ago people carved roads through these mountains, this will make our trip easier, but on foot, on foot it will still be tough. A week into the trip it snowed, it was truly amazing at first, but the snow was not the only awe inspiring things, there were trees, real trees left to grow unchecked by man for years and I am no talking about the random burned out shrub you find in the Wastes, for the first time in my life I stood in a forest. The air was fresh, the snow pure and white. I had never seen anything like it in my life, and to be able to feel it against my skin, the bare skin of my face was a true taste of freedom, but now, it is cold and damp. The Forest is endless; there is nothing but an old broken road before us over by the surrounding woods. I long for the days of the Wastes, "How are you doing?" Fiona asks.
"I am good, yourself?" I ask.
"Still a little sore from the crash, but other than that I am not bad." Fiona says.
"Are the others still asleep?" I ask.
"Velvet is, Theodore has been up for a while, and he's cooking up some breakfast." Fiona says, "You should eat."
"I am not that hungry, I am going to hang out a little longer, go eat." I say.
"Figured as much." Fiona says, "Here" Fiona hands me one of the blankets we took off the wrecked Stalker, "Figured you could use it."
"Thanks." I say, "Hey Fiona, it's snowing." We both laugh, a good laugh, like I use to have, before everything it feels good. After several more hours I finally make my way back to the group, the camp is already packed and ready to go, "You should have gotten me I would have helped."
"It's ok; we figured you wanted to be alone." Fiona says. A cold wind blows, my body shakes and I can feel my skin lose its warmth.
"We can't take this cold much longer." I say.
"I have been watching the signs the past couple of days." Theodore says, "We are not that far outside of Denver, it used to be a city, we should be able to get some warmer clothing there."
"Ok, we head for there before continuing on, if anything we can use the buildings for a few days to warm up before heading out again." I say. The snow is starting to get thick, making walking difficult, "How much further?"
"Can't be too much further, we were only about twenty miles out when we left this morning." Theodore says, "We should be there by late tonight if we keep pushing."
"Ok, we need to give it all we got; once we get there we can rest." I say.
"Words of encouragement from our fearless leader." Fiona says with a smile. After a month Fiona is mostly back to normal, she says that every few nights she will have strange dreams, but with everyone here we are able to reassure her they are just dreams. Finally after hours of walking we arrive at the outskirts of Denver, the hour is late and darkness fills the world. All we can do is stet camp and rest till morning, in no time Velvet has a fire raging. We all gather around absorbing its warmth like sponges.
"So what is on the menu tonight?" I ask.
"Pre-rats" Velvet says handing me the package, a pre-rat stands for premade rations. They are vile, I never thought I would prefer Waste dog to anything in this world that was until Pre-rats.
"Tomorrow we can sleep late and head into the city." I say, "We can establish a base camp and work out of there until we find what we need."
"Sounds like a solid plan." Fiona says, "Depending what we find, we might be able to last quite a while out here." After diner we all settle in for the night, we have managed to set up camp in a rather large building, the building seems to be made of bricks; the main room is large and open. Several large doors that seem to slide up sit at each end of the building allow for what seems to be large vehicles to enter from one and make an exit without having to back out. Standing there in the room I can't help myself, the long suppressed wastelander comes out.
Heading deeper into the building I am filled with the wonderment of a child. It has been so long since I have walked alone into the darkness of the unknown, since I have experienced the excitement of the search. Reaching into my pack I remove the flashlight, unlike my old flashlight this one lights right up, I kind of miss the uniqueness the other one use to have. Maybe one day after everything is done I will return to Haven, see if I can find it. Shining my light throughout the rooms this place is unlike the others, having been secluded in a frozen Wasteland for all these years the place seems to be almost untouched. Thick rubberized jackets lined the walls of adjacent rooms, strange helmets sit above untouched by the years of neglect. Dust, real dust covers them. Dust shits in all directions, like us the dust now floats free, free to go where the wind takes it, the words Denver Fire Department become clear, "There you are." Fiona says.
"Sorry, couldn't sleep." I say.
"Me either, find anything good?" Fiona asks.
"What do you think about these? I ask picking up one of the helmet. Taking the helmet from my outstretched hand and examining it.
"Not going to stop a round." Fiona says tapping the helmet.
"I don't think it was intended for combat." I say, "Shall we check up stairs?"
Heading up stairs we find several more rooms, most are similar to the offices I found back in Seattle, but there is one room larger than the rest, several beds line the walls. Fiona and I both start to laugh at the realization that the others are huddled around a fire down stairs, sleeping on the cold hard floor, "You think we should let the others know." I say.
"Nah, they are both out cold, let them sleep, we can tell them in the morning." Fiona says. Flipping over a mattress I send a cloud of dust into the air, "wow that is a lot of dust." Fiona says, trying to wave the dust from her face only to cause the opposite resulting in several moments of sneezing, "Can we get out of here?" Fiona manages to get out between sneezes.
"Sure." I say taking Fiona's hand as I leading her away from the cloud of dust. It takes several more minutes before Fiona stops sneezing, her eyes now puffy and red she stands like small child wiping snot from her nose. I can't help but laugh, Fiona is not happy.
"It's not funny." Fiona says sneezing once more.
"I'm sorry; I've just never seen anyone have an allergic reaction to dust." I say, "Though you generally don't find much clean dust in the Wastes."
"You shouldn't laugh at me." Fiona says, "Especially when it is your fault."
"Sorry, but it was pretty funny." I say, "I mean the way your face scrunched up."
"Yeah, Well." Fiona says punching my in the arm as she walks past, "Hope it leaves a mark." As if timed the floor below Fiona gives out, for a moment my heart drops with Fiona. Diving towards the hole I reach down to find Fiona hanging by several cables and wires, the floor below sits at least twenty feet down.
"Fiona." I say reaching for her, "Grab my hand." Reaching her with all her strength Fiona misses several times before taking a moment to rest.
"I can't reach." Fiona says.
"Try, I know you can do it." I say, "I have faith in you." Reaching further into the hole I feel my body start to slide, "Hurry I'm slipping." Using all of her energy Fiona flings her hand up into mine; pulling with all my strength we managed to escape. Laying there we rest a minuet our ordeal over my mind jumps back to Seattle, to the day I feel through the elevator shaft, they day I almost died, I met Fiona there and now everything has come full circle. Only this time no one fell down the hole, we had each other to prevent that, it was our combined strength that allowed us to escape.
"That could have sucked." Fiona says.
"You have no idea." I say, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, a little bruised, but I will be fine." Fiona says, "I think I am ready for bed now." We don't even more, laying there next to the hole we wait as our adrenaline wares off and we drift into sleep, Fiona's let dangling down the hole.
The morning sun is warm against our skin, the first feeling of warmth we have has since the snow, and the building has done a fine job of keeping us somewhat warm, heck anything is better than sleeping outside. Fiona lies a few inches away, she must have moved closer during the night, probably seeking warmth. In the cold mountain night the warmth of another human is invaluable, moving silently to a nearby window I take in the city for the first time. It is truly beautiful; this city unlike Seattle seems to have been spared the wrath of the Brotherhood. It looks as the day it was abandoned, a frozen shrine to the world of yesterday. It is strange to see a place like this outside of Eden; it brings to the mind only one question, why?
"Fiona, wake up." I say, "You should see this."
"What is it, can't it wait." Fiona says, rolling back over away from the window and me.
"No, you will want to see this, trust me." I say nudging Fiona with me foot.
In protest Fiona begins to stir, "You are such a pain, cant you let a girl sleep?" Fiona asks.
"Just come here, look at this." I say, Fiona finally making her way to the window, her eyes widen as she takes in the site, "It's beautiful."
"How is this possible, I thought the Brotherhood destroyed everything?" I ask.
"I don't know, I though the same thing." Fiona says.
"Maybe Theodore has some answers." I say, "We should go see if the others are up anyway." Heading back down to the others the vision of the city still burns in my memory. How it is this city has survived so long, how it survived the Brotherhood. Velvet and Theodore have already woken by the time we arrive; Velvet is busy preparing this morning's Pre-Rats.
"Well look who we have here, did you guys find a nice little hole to climb in." Velvet says.
"You could say that." Fiona say smiling slightly taking a seat next to Velvet.
"I would ask what is for breakfast but I know the answer." I say taking a set around the fire, "Hey Theodore, can you tell me about Denver, the city is."
"Untouched." Fiona cuts in.
"I don't know, I just remember it was one of the rebel's strongholds." Theodore says, "Other than that, I have no clue as to why it was not nuked."
"Strange, but I guess it really doesn't matter, what we need to focus on now is getting the supplies we need." Velvet says, "Then getting out of these mountains." As much as I would hate to admit it, Velvet is right; the truth behind Denver can wait.
"Ok, we head into the city, find what we need, take a couple of days to rest, then head back out." I say, "Does anyone have any questions."
"We should check out some of the local department stores, they should have what we are looking for." Theodore says.
"What the heck is a department store?" I ask.
"Think the market in Haven." Theodore says, "And just like in Haven, it's mostly crap, but you can find some things worth picking up."
"I think we had those back in Haven, we called them Connivance Centers." Velvet says, "Definitely crap."
Heading into the city the bitter cold stings as we once again leave the safety of our camp, we don't. The city is quite small compared to that of Eden, but here there is only beauty, there is no hiding evil behind all the lights and glamour like one finds back in Eden. We spend several hours plowing through the snow before we come to a stop. Before us stands a tall building, a few stories high, the white building material of which the structure is constructed of almost seems to blend against the snow. The tall glass entrance way stands the test of time; large unidentifiable markings that once represented the stores name barely exist. The door are shut tight, taking the butt of my rifle I smash the window, there is a rush of stale air mixing with the fresh cold mountain air. We stand silently a moment before heading in; once again I remove my flash light. Everything is untouched, this place, this city has been abandoned. What drove these people away, what horror worse than a nuclear bomb could have done this, "Everything is here, as if, one day everyone just left." I say.
"This place would have been a gold mine to the Wasters back in Haven." Theodore says, "Seeing everything untouched like this give me the creeps."
"I agree with gramps over here, let's get what we need and get out." Velvet says.
"I ain't your gramps, kid."! Theodore says, Velvet shoots him an accepting smile, she knows he is tough, and he only proves it more every day.
"Let's split up." I say, "No one do anything stupid, and stay out of the elevators." The building is massive, several floors or various items, Theodore was right. When I was back in Haven this place would have got me enough creds to last several lifetimes, now most of the stuff is junk. After several minutes Velvets voice can be heard throughout the place, heading towards I run, but take my time. Being as there is no urgency in her calls, as I approach Velvet stands surrounded by several thousand coats, all look warm and inviting, and "Looks like you found something." I say stopping to examine a rack of jackets. Moments later the others arrive, Theodore is pushing a car filled with equipment for outdoors travel, well that is what I am assuming it is.
"There is so many of them." Fiona says.
"They are so fluffy." Velvet says holding several jackets against her face.
"Ok, let's take what we need and keep searching." I say. Before long we are all outfitted with for cold weather travel, Fiona had managed to locate several backpacks, placing supplies into them I think back to the many times I prepared to enter the Wastes, how I would have sold my arm for a fraction of the equipment we have now.
"Try not to pack too much; we still have a long trip ahead of us." Fiona says.
"Is there any other places we should check before heading back to camp?" I ask.
"Nothing else comes to mind." Fiona says, "Maybe we should head back, see what we can think of overnight." Truth is no one likes the idea of being out in the city over night, this place give off a strange vibe. There is a feeling in the back of my neck, a feeling that something horrible happened here long ago. Heading back to camp the sun is starting to set, the city seems to give off a hunted aura as we work our way back. Several times we are startled by the sounds of small creatures passing as shadows in the darkness. Holding my rifle tight in my hands I scan the darkness before me, something is coming.
"No one move, there, get ready." I say bringing my rifle up, ready to fire. My eyes narrow like razors as the creature lunges forward. Out of the darkness leaps a Waste dog, only it's not, the body is covered in a thick hair, unlike the normal spots here and there. There is not time, my body reacts the shot echoes through the streets, the creature falling feet away. Several more can be heard fleeing in the distance. Inching forwards I push the lifeless animal with my foot, "What is it?
"It's a wolf." Theodore says kneeling besides it, "It's not mutated."
"Can we eat it?" Velvet asks, everyone turning their attention to her.
"Only if you carry it back to camp." I say. Though to be honest I think anyone would be willing to lug the thing back for a taste of fresh meat, Velvet doesn't argue. The trip back moves quickly. Everyone is excited about the day's events, it was a good day. Once back inside the building it doesn't take Velvet and Theodore long before they wolf is prepared and on the fire. Fiona and I have spent the time bringing beds down by the fire; tonight we will all get a warm comfortable sleep.
"Ok, it's ready." Velvet says. Everyone is eager, once around the fire we all greedily dig into the stew. There is plenty of meat left over and with the freezing temperatures outside it will keep for days.
"We the amount of food we have, we should probably sit tight for a few days." I say, "Who know what else we can find."
"Not a bad idea, the kid here could probably use the extra rest." Theodore says motioning towards Velvet.
"Kid, I will show you who are a kid, gramps." Velvet says. It is good to sit like this, before the threat of the Brotherhood was always loaming over our heads, not we are free. There is no one chasing us, no one out to kill us, I could stay in these mountains forever. However, there are too many people back in Eden dependent on me; I still have a mission to finish. Perhaps once this is done, when I am finally free to live my life once again, here in the mountains is where I will find a home. My eyes shift to Fiona, will she come with me. Noticing, Fiona shits her attention to me and smiles, I don't have to worry about that, I know she will.
The night goes by without any incidents, the warmth of the fire and our new clothing eases us to sleep, by the time the morning sun rises I feel fully rested for the first time in a month. The others still sleep, moving to the fire I poke it several times before tossing on a few more pieces of wood. Soon the fire is blazing again, the heat is amazing. Extending my hands I let the fire gently kiss them making them warm to the touch. Fiona must have awoken while I was stoking the fire, it is strange. She always seems to wake soon after me, to find me, as if we are instinctively seeking moments for ourselves. Her hands are cold as she places them on my shoulders, she stands behind me. Placing my hands upon hers I can feel the exchange of warmth, "Hey Riley, back in Eden when I said that I loved you." Fiona says, "It was just that I thought I was going to die."
"It's ok; you don't have anything to be ashamed about." I say, "Truth is, I feel the same way."
"Oh, well in that case why didn't you tell me?" Fiona asks punching me in the arm.
"Sorry we were busy running for our lives, didn't come up." I say.
"Oh really, didn't come up." Fiona says, "You know I learned something's about you from Cara." A wicked smile appears across Fiona's face, what she could have possible learned, and then it hits me.
"Don't do it." I say as Fiona lunges forwards, I knew Cara learning I was ticklish would come back to haunt me, "Stop." I say between uncontrollable laughter. Several minutes of unrelenting assault continue, "Stop it, please, ok I love you."
"That is so cute." Velvet says, "It's like I am a proud parent watching the kids play by the fire." Fiona rises from the grand, her face is bright red.
"Velvet I am going to kick." Fiona is cut off by the sound of the outer door flying open. In the door way stands a man dressed in animal furs, his eyes focus on us. As quickly as he appears he is gone. Velvet in an attempt to escape Fiona's wrath takes chase only to return several moments later.
"I lost him, he was fast." Velvet says.
"Where did he come from?" I ask.
"I have no idea; do you think he was using this place before we got here?" Velvet asks. There are several possibilities, all we know for now is we are not alone.

And unlike other 'regular' grinders', the ceramic material prevents the coffee from overheating and tasting burnt.

Fine-tune the coffee's richness with 10 grinder settings
When it comes to the fineness of the grind, this machine never fails to satisfy. Different coffee blends require different levels of granularity for the full flavour to unfold. So the grind granularity of this machine has ten adjustable settings – from the finest grind for a full-bodied espresso, to the coarsest for a lighter coffee.
The strength selection remembers just how strong you like it
Choose your ideal strength from the 5 different settings, select the length and the temperature. You can easily save your desired coffee length with the Memo Function for each drink. Then every cup in the future will be customised exactly to your taste. You'll never have to remind it again, unlike the local barista.

Clean milk carafe after every use with quick clean function
The unique one-touch carafe quick clean allows you to thoroughly rinse the carafe after each use, at the touch of a button.

An unyeilding gaze
You drift upon a floating tide
With filmy dew
Laced in your hair. But oh,
Those clouds of gold and silk
Adorn your eyes
The richest tincture stains the skies.
Your body melts into the light
As Aurora yawns, her sunbeams fight
And fluid breezes wrap their arms
Around you, transient,
half-dissolved at night.
The crimson brow and guilded wings
Take mingling flight
And hazy colour blazons bright.
Yeilding, no; savage my soul
As Phoebus groans and Memory sings.

My Friend's Harp
I used to love that harp.
It was never in tune,
But I didn't care.
Good enough for me.
I loved the bottom string -
usually a tone flat -
And when you plucked it,
It went right through you.
I'd run my fingers up and down,
An ecstatic glissando,
While my friend laughed,
To see me so immature.
That was years ago.
But still, when I hold that harp,
I feel that lift.
And the memories return.

On the battlefronts in Afghanistan, there has been a noticeable increase in the bombing campaign to help the local allies seize some strategic towns and bases before the onset of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fast, in a fortnight.
Meanwhile in Europe and the US, there are growing fears that members of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terror network have been trying to acquire fissile materials to make a nuclear terrorist bomb.
While it is not thought that they have the skills to make a nuclear bomb itself yet, it is feared they have been trying to acquire nuclear waste to make a "dirty bomb" from organised crime networks in eastern Europe.
The international mafias have been trading in waste materials for some time. Last year, the UN reckoned that it was a trade with an annual turn-over of about £8 billion. The waste would be packed with conventional explosive material, so when the bomb went off, it would cover a wide area with contaminated material.
Fears of a nuclear incident have been fuelled in the US by reports that several men "of Middle Eastern origin" have been detained in the Mid-West as they were found travelling with plans of a US nuclear installation.
It has been conjectured that one of the aborted 11 September hijacks was intended for a kamikaze attack on a nuclear installation.
The Head of the International Atomic Authority is to report on the risks of a nuclear terrorist attack later today. Several nuclear installations, including the Crystal River installation north of St Petersburg in Florida, have been reinforced. At the Crystal River plant, the guards have been doubled and new concrete barriers and a new concrete road built round the reactors.
The US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has said that the ageing B-52s could be used for close bombing because US forces are now receiving better intelligence from the ground in Afghanistan. Since yesterday morning, B-52s and Navy F18 Hornets have been bombing Taliban forward positions round the strategic airfield of Bagram.

Hong Kong movie star Jackie Chan said he feels shame for his son, who has been indicted on a drug charge and could be jailed for up to 3 years, SIA reports quoting the Shanghai Daily
The remarks, reported yesterday by Xinhua news agency, came two days after authorities announced the indictment against Jaycee Chan, 32, who is charged with sheltering others to use drugs.
The scandal has been embarrassing for the elder Chan, who was named by China as an anti-drug ambassador in 2009.
Chan, who sits on the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said he didn't use his connections to interfere with the case and that he hopes his singer-actor son will become an anti-drug ambassador when he is released. "I hope that in the future, he could become an anti-drug spokesman and tell his experiences to young people," Jackie Chan said.
Beijing police detained the younger Chan at his Beijing apartment in August along with Taiwan movie star Ko Kai.
Police said both men tested positive for marijuana and admitted using the drug, and that 100 grams of it were seized.
Ko, whose real name is Ko Chen-tung, was released after a 14-day detention for the drug use, but Chan — who has been held since August — faces the more serious criminal charge.
State broadcaster CCTV in August aired a video of the raid on Chan's apartment, in which he was shown identifying marijuana in his possession. Ko testified on camera that he had used drugs at Chan's home.
CCTV also said Chan told police that he has been using drugs for 8 years.
In June, President Xi Jinping said illegal drugs should be wiped out and that offenders should be severely punished.
The crackdown snared more than 7,800 people in Beijing alone, according to police.

The Minotaur and the Serpent
At the end of the path the light shone behind a small wooden door. Hanging from it a sign. "Welcome to Barkbane, enjoy your stay." Below it a smaller one: "And don't feed the snake." Olav pushed lightly against the door and it opened slowly with a creek. A field now lay before him, bright green and a clear blue sky above. Olav looked around nervously, he was wondering what the big shiny ball in the sky was, and what of this green tall weed growing in such high quantities. In the middle of the vast field stood a lone cabin, being the only beacon of hope he ran swiftly towards it.
The cabin's chimney was smoking and at the porch sat a figure, dressed in granny clothes on a rocking chair. As Olav approached closer the figure stood up. "Hullo thar!" it shouted at him. It was a big hairy beast, oculars on it's big face and a grand moustache below the snout. This was a minotaur, Olav heard about it in stories told by the elders.
"Where am I" Olav asked fiercely. "You're in Barkbane." the minotaur replied. "But please, come in, you look thirsty and tired." Olav shivered at the deep rough voice, but he was thirsty, and he was tired. How could he decline the offer?
The minotaur gestured politely for Olav to go in. And he did. Inside he found the walls adorned with deer heads and weapons. Two puffy chairs and a blanket in front of a fireplace. Olav felt anything but at ease.
"Please, do take a seat, I'll be back with some refreshments in a jippy" The strange beast walked to the small kitchen. Below it's dress Olav could see something moving. The kitchen door closed and cups could be heard getting filled. A few minutes later the minotaur came out with a platter filled with cake and tea.
Olav managed to finish all of it in a matter of seconds, adding yet more weight to his already abnormally large body. With cake in his mouth he asked the same question he asked earlier, "Where am I minotaur?" The reply a smile, "Barkbane as I said earlier. You are in Barkbane, and you are in the home of the mayor of Barkbane"
Olav sighed, "I need to get out, I need to find my family, or at least some clues as to what happened to them." The minotaur stood up, "there's no way out of Barkbane." he said with an eery tone. "You come here, you stay, and you pay tribute to the serpent." Olav raised an eyebrow, "The serpent?" The minotaur raised the dress and out came slithering a large slippery thing. It wrapped itself around Olav's neck and gripped tightly. Olav battled it for several seconds before reaching for his belt. He took his dagger and cut off the fanged tip. As the tip let loose it released a white liquid and the minotaur screamed in agony.
Olav made a run for it.

Filtering spam and viruses at the mail server with Amavisd-new
Sometimes the best time to stop bad mail is before it arrives. AmavisdNew is an Open Source interface for integrating spam and virus filtering with your mail server.
The majority of viruses are propagated via email. While it is still possible to receive viruses from floppy disks and CD-ROMs, or from Internet worms and rootkits that directly attack vulnerabilities in your operating system, you are much more likely to receive viruses via email – often by inadvertently opening seemingly innocent attachments. Of course it is important to have an up-to-date virus checker on your desktop, but defense in depth is the best approach, and this is why you should be protected from spam and viruses at your receiving SMTP server. Virus protection at the mail server prevents undesirable email from reaching your desktop, and it also keeps viruses out of your POP3 or IMAP account. Filtering from the mail server reduces the load on your desktop PC or laptop, reduces the amount of bandwidth you will use, and greatly reduces the risk of spam and viruses reaching your desktop. An additional advantage of providing this extra layer of protection is that, by using a virus checker on your desktop that is different from the content checker on your SMTP server, you reduce the risk of a virus passing undetected.

anyone got experience of this?
Described as "whichever trail run you choose will mean hills, mud, sand and then some more hills"
Don't think proper XC shoes (spikes or even studs) appropriate for sand and probably hard trail, but not sure (have just joined an AC and still haven't decided on spikes or studs for the grass-based XCs).
Probably okay in my Asics Trabucos which aren't any good in slippery mud - but just wondered what people's experiences were?

|IndexReader.open crashes JVM
|Thu, 15 Dec 2005 18:31:15 GMT
Hello, I have a 6GB index consisting of about 4M documents, each with 2 fields. The index built fine and then I optimized it. Whenever I try to open the index, though, the jvm crashes saying it has run out of heap space. Even when I increase the heap size it just runs longer and then crashes. With a heap of 512M, it ran for about 2 minutes and then crashed. Anyone have clues as to what could cause this? Also, does it usually take this long to open an index? Im using lucene1.4.3 on a XP machine with jdk1.5. Any help is appreciated.
