But with harder times ahead, Alistair Darling made no attempt at showmanship this afternoon, instead concentrating on coming over as a reassuring bank manager for the nation.
It was a much more sober performance than at October's Pre-Budget Report, reflecting the tougher economic conditions and his personal bruises over capital gains tax, nondoms and Northern Rock.
For Labour MPs, the crowd-pleasing measures were £1 billion to help alleviate child poverty and a one-off rise in the winter fuel handout to pensioners.
But the key announcements for the City came near the beginning of Mr Darling's speech, when he unveiled the revised economic forecasts for the years ahead.
Growth will be lower, which has massive implications for the rest of the Government's programme - and for its general election planning.
The loss of a quarter-point of growth is worth around £1.5 billion in revenues - money that has to come from higher taxes, spending cuts or borrowing. With no legroom for a tax giveaway or a spending splurge, Mr Darling had to rely on low-cost eye-catching ideas like action on plastic bags to enliven his presentation.
The Chancellor has a reserved nature and is no risk-taker. His mantra is "steady as she goes" and his key political goal was to convince voters that when storm clouds lie ahead they want him at the tiller rather than the untested shadow chancellor George Osborne.
A massive borrowing spree is needed to balance the books as the economy slows down. The forecast for growth was downgraded to 1.75 to 2.25 per cent this year, rising half a point next year, and then getting back on track in 2010 at 2.5 per cent. Borrowing will lurch up to £43 billion next year — a virtual doubling of the level that was once expected. Mr Darling chopped half a point off the forecast when he issued revised figures in the autumn. This afternoon he admitted even those figures are too high. He thinks he can still beat the gloomy 1.8 per cent predicted by many City analysts, however. The good news is that there is no sign of a recession and the economy will pick up again. However, the tougher outlook limits the Chancellor's room for manoeuvre in the run-up to the next general election, expected next year or in 2010. But for much better than expected tax revenues in January, the borrowing would be higher this year than the £36 billion now forecast. An eye-watering £31 billion is being spent each year on debt interest — almost the entire defence budget.
The 2009 growth forecast of 2.5 to three per cent is also being downgraded. Over the next few years, borrowing is set to be higher than planned.
Mr Darling blamed global conditions for the squeeze — particularly the credit crunch fuelled by bad American loans, and higher prices for energy, food and commodities. In his response, David Cameron said the Government had overspent in the good years and was now ill-prepared for lean times.
Today's announcements come on top of 30 changes that come into effect on 5 April.
* The basic rate of income tax comes down from 22p to 20p in the pound for the 32 million taxpayers.
* The 10p starter rate is "abolished" (or, more accurately, doubled since most payers will move up to the 20p band).
* Single and childless people will pay more on the whole.
* Over-65s will see their tax-free allowance rise from £7,550 to £9,030 as compensation.
* Middle classes face a national insurance sting — an extra £100 a week becomes liable for national insurance, costing £572 a year to people earning between £35,000 and £40,000 a year.
* Capital gains tax is due to be simplified by being levied in future at 18 per cent. The measure caused the biggest outcry from small firms, leading the Chancellor to respond with a lifetime allowance of £1 million — taxed at just 10 per cent — for entrepreneurs who would lose out.
* Some of the 260,000 payers still face an 80 per cent rise in their bills, while second-home sellers will pay less.
* The Confederation of British Industry wants corporation tax cut from 28 per cent to 18 per cent by 2016.
The Chancellor pledged to confront climate change. An £800 million fund will also aim to increase green businesses, which could create a million new jobs.
* Laws will be introduced by 2009 to charge for using plastic bags, aiming to remove 12 billion plastic bags, 90 per cent of those in use.
* Air passenger duty will be replaced by a duty payable per plane, which will be increased by 10 per cent in its second year.
* Legal targets for carbon emissions may be cut to 80 per cent by 2050, up from the current target of 60 per cent by 2050
* A £26 million green homes service to cut emissions from householders, full details of which will be revealed next month.
* New non-domestic buildings will have to be zero carbon by 2019.
* The Government has asked the European Commission for tougher targets on car fuel emissions.
A major drive to extend the supply of housing and encouraging flexible long-term home loans were among the main features of today's announcements. There will also be extra help for key workers. The main changes include:
* A study, which will report next year, to find ways of providing long-term, fixed-rate mortgages for 10, 15 or even 25 years to offer homeowners certainty over their mortgage bills.
* Another 70,000 homes to be provided on public sector land as £8 billion is spent on social housing over the next three years.
* Teachers, nurses and other key workers to be allowed to borrow from shared equity schemes from April to finance home purchases.
* Stamp duty on shared ownership properties not to be paid until buyers own 80 per cent of their homes.
* New efforts to ease the "secondary" money markets, used by lenders to finance mortgage deals, to help them keep loan rates down.
Public services
Education and health will continue to be the two main spending priorities despite the squeeze on finances.
Although public spending is to grow by 2.2 per cent annually until 2011 — about half the rate of previous years — the Chancellor confirmed the NHS and school budgets that were set out in last year's Comprehensive Spending Review:
* NHS funding rises from £90 billion this year to £110 billion by 2010.
* Education gets an extra £200 million, to bring forward to 2011 the target that no school should have less than 30 per cent of GCSE pupils achieving five A* to C grades.
* The Government will contribute £10 million to a £30 million "Enthuse Science" fund to train science teachers.
* There will be more apprenticeships, from an extra £60 million funding over three years.
* Whitehall departments will find at least £30 billion of efficiency savings, all of which will be reinvested in public services.
Labour had been in danger of missing its landmark target to halve child poverty by 2010, let alone eradicate it completely by 2020.
Today the Chancellor pledged:
* An extra £125 million to be spent over the next three years targeting the families in most need.
* Child benefit for the first child to rise to £20 from April 2009, a year earlier than planned.
* An extra £50 above inflation added to child tax credit for low and middle-income families. That means a family with two children on an income of up to £28,000 will see their income rise by £130 a year.
* Help for the elderly and vulnerable with their heating bills will increase to £150 million a year.
Drivers of gas-guzzlers will be shamed into choosing less polluting vehicles under plans to cut pollution from road transport which accounts for 22 per cent of the UK's carbon emissions. Motorists choosing low-polluting cars will also benefit and the chancellor reaffirmed the Government's commitment to road-pricing.
* New funding will be released for trials into road-pricing technology; tenders to be invited from private firms to test new road pricing technology. Results announced next year.
* Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) overhauled from April 2009 with new tax bands encouraging manufacturers to make and actively promote cleaner cars to buyers.
* From 2010 no road tax paid in the first year on cars emitting less than 130 grammes of CO2.
* From 2010 there will be a higher first-year tax rate for the most polluting cars.
* The 2-pence-a-litre rise in petrol duty — the fuel duty escalator — delayed until October after lobbying from motoring and haulage groups.
Drinkers and smokers were badly hit by today's Budget as duties on alcohol were hiked by six per cent above inflation in a bid to curb binge-drinking and reduce the cost to the NHS of treating alcohol-related health problems. This is in response to pressure from the British Medical Association which has warned cheap alcohol fuels drink addiction. Smokers will also be encouraged to quit by the Chancellor exempting smoking cessation products from VAT.
* The cost of spirits will rise by 55 pence a bottle from midnight on Sunday ending a 10-year freeze on spirit duties
* The cost of a bottle of wine will rise by 14 pence a bottle
* The price of a pint of beer will rise by 4 pence
* Cider will rise by 3 pence a bottle
* A packet of 20 cigarettes will go up in price by 11 pence

Terence Dials led the Buckeyes with a career-high 23 points and six rebounds. J.J. Sullinger and Tony Stockman each had 12 points, while Ja'Kel Foster added nine points off the bench in his OSU debut.
"I thought tonight we were able to sustain our effort a little bit longer," Matta said. "Defensively, I was pretty pleased with the way we were able to keep the heat on the ball. Our positioning was better for longer in the game."
OSU held Towson to 31.4 percent shooting from the floor (16 of 51), including 22.2 percent (6 of 27) from three-point range. Mike Green was the only Towson player in double figures, finishing with 10 points.
The Buckeyes advanced to play Robert Morris, which was a 68-49 winner over Morgan State Monday. That game will be played at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Dials was 8 of 11 from the floor and 7 of 11 at the foul line.
"Everybody was looking inside," Dials said. "All of my teammates did a good job of getting me the ball inside. We moved the ball well, something we didn't do last week. That's a credit to my teammates."
OSU was 50 percent from the floor, hitting 27 of 54 shots from the field. OSU held a narrow 33-32 edge in rebounding.
"One thing I wasn't pleased with early was our rebounding," Matta said. "I thought we were more concerned with running than rebounding. They had eight offensive rebounds in the first half. We've got to get that corrected."
Brandon Fuss-Cheatham, playing less than two weeks since the death of his mother in a car accident, started at point guard and had six points and four assists in 28 minutes.
"My hat's off to Brandon," Fuss-Cheatham said. "Since he's been back with us, it's been real good. I know there are tough moments in his day. But he's obviously got that leadership and he's a guy who understands how to play. He made us go tonight."
Matt Sylvester added six points and five assists off the bench. Jamar Butler had four points in his OSU debut and Ivan Harris rounded out the scoring with two points.
OSU capitalized on 13 Towson turnovers in building a 37-23 halftime lead. Dials had 12 points and Sullinger added 10 in the first 20 minutes for OSU.
Ivan Harris made the first basket of the Matta era, scoring off a driving jumper in the lane shortly after Towson's Mike Green had opened the game with a three-pointer. OSU moved ahead for good on Sullinger's three-pointer from the left corner off a feed from Matt Sylvester. That put the Buckeyes up 9-7.
The Sullinger three-pointer started a 20-6 OSU run that allowed the Buckeyes to build the lead to 26-13 with 9:26 left in the half. The run was highlighted by a Sullinger layup off a Sylvester feed, Sullinger's three-point play off a driving bank shot and Stockman's trey from the top of the key. Freshman guard Jamar Butler capped the run with a driving bank shot.
Matta showed his fiery side moments later when Towson's Winstonn Tubbs scored inside off a third-chance rebound. He immediately called a 30-second time out to discuss the matter with his team. Green that completed a three-point play to cut the OSU lead to 26-18 with 7:34 left in the half.
But the Buckeyes outscored the Tigers 11-5 over the remainder of the half. Dials got that run started with a bank shot off an inbounds pass. Fuss-Cheatham added a driving layup. Dials scored again inside. Fuss-Cheatham added a layup off a feed from Sullinger. Dials capped the half by making one of two free throws with 3.2 seconds left to give the Buckeyes their biggest lead of the half at 37-23.
OSU opened the second half with a 14-5 run, keyed by seven points from Stockman, to push the lead to 51-28 with 15:15 left. Stockman then made a driving one-hander in the lane to put the Buckeyes up 56-30 with 12:19 left.
Towson then whittled the lead down to 56-38 after a trey by Green with 8:58 left. But the Buckeyes responded with an 18-8 spurt. Foster canned three three-pointers during this stretch and, after Dials scored off a rebound with 4:20 left, the Buckeyes had their biggest lead of the night at 74-46.
Also Notable
* OSU improved to 5-1 all-time in season openers at Value City Arena.
* In Monday's opener, Robert Morris jumped out to a 34-20 halftime lead and cruised to the 19-point win. Maurice Carter led RMU with 22 points on 4-of-7 shooting from three-point range. Joseph Ison added 14 points, while Chaz McCrommon added 10 points and eight rebounds.
* Matta believes his team will be up to play Robert Morris on a quick turnaround.
"We'll be ready," he said. "We'll be prepared for Robert Morris and what they throw at us. How we adapt to it will be my focus now."
A win would send OSU to the Guardians Classic final four next Tuesday and Wednesday in Kansas City. It would also give the Buckeyes two more games.
"With these guys, I'm not concerned with who we're playing or when we're playing," Matta said. "I'm more concerned with how we're playing at this stage."
* Dials' previous career high was 22 points, which he has done twice (last time against Indiana in 2004).

A total sensory experience
Tasting Single Malt Scotch is a total experience involving all the senses. Remember, tasting is largely subjective, it's meant to be enjoyed.
Appearance: First, hold the whiskey against the light, a young single malt will be bright and translucent. Deeper color will indicate longer maturation as well as cask finishing. Colors range from sunlight, pale straw, gold, sauternes, Madeira, mahogany to molasses.
Nose: Tasting is primarily done by nosing, don't skip it. Take short sharp sniffs rather than a full inhalation you will pick up more fragrances. First try it straight, swirl it in the glass and sniff it cautiously, notice the initial fragrances. Add a drop of water, swirl the whisky, the water frees up more fragrances. Sniff gently at first and then more deeply into the glass.
Palate: At last take a sip and allow it to coat the inside of your mouth. Roll the spirit around so that it comes in contact with your taste buds, there are only four. Sweetness at the tip of the tongue, Saltiness along the sides, Sourness at the edges and Bitterness at the back. Notice how the taste develops, does it unfold itself in layers or does it give it all immediately, what flavors can you detect.
Finish: Finall the finish, does the flavor linger or does it fade. Do other flavors develop in the process and is there any after taste.
Ears: Don't forget the sense of sound, your companions oohs and ahhs and some of the words they use to describe the aromas and flavors can sometimes set you off in new areas of exploration.
Whether a novice or connoisseur, everyone can enjoy the full pleasure of tasting single malt scotch

Study of the Heart
Chapter 35
"I'm really happy." Ino smiled, rubbing her stomach, which had swollen slightly to the point where it was clear that she was either mid-pregnancy or gaining weight in a very uniform and localized fashion. Her face was glowing, and she really did seem content and happy. "Oh, thanks!" she beamed at Shikamaru, who resignedly set a bowl of ramen in front of her that seemed to have at least six different things in it that most people would never want in their ramen, and that was just at first glance. Shikamaru pursed his lips slightly, but when he sat down next to her, he surreptitiously enveloped Ino's hand in his own. She used her free hand to shovel the weird meal into her mouth.
"Is that…are there orange slices in there?" Sakura could not help her face scrunching up in horror and disgust as she watched Ino feed her baby's cravings. "And…what is that weird…goopy stuff?"
"Peanut butter. There's a lot more than that in there, too." Shikamaru's voice was that of a man who had been driven beyond the edges of what he thought he could endure, and was vaguely amazed to find that he was still surviving, even with no end in sight. "You missed breakfast. She wanted scrambled eggs with raspberry jam, chicken strips, and fish eggs all in them, put on toast with a big splash of ranch dressing."
"Shikamaru makes me anything I ask for!" Ino flushed happily between mouthfuls, and Sakura tried not to gag. "It's great!"
"When…were you due again?" Sakura did not watch Ino eat, she didn't want to think about what was in that bowl.
"Three and a half more months." Shikamaru answered, while Ino, her mouth full of something that was no doubt horrendous, gesticulated in reply. "Sometimes I think it will never end."
"Shikamaru can't wait to be a father!" Ino giggled after she had swallowed, and she fished out what appeared to be a whole hard-boiled egg from her bowl, sucking it down with relish.
"Yes." Shikamaru sounded strained to the breaking point. "I can't wait."
"Oh." Sakura nodded, standing up. "Well…thanks, it was good to see you two. You've been very…um, helpful."
"Wait, didn't you have to ask us something?" Ino frowned, a noodle hanging out of her mouth. Sakura very badly wanted that to be a noodle.
"I think you answered it." Sakura had to leave or she might be sick. She fled the house, leaving her friends to their unique lunch. She had been sure that if anyone would make her want to be married, it would be those two. They were still really newlyweds, they had been married less than a year, after all, so they were not as…comfortable as a couple like her own mother and father who seemed content, but also seemed to be kept together, more than anything, by a strange sort of inertia. But she wasn't sure she really envied them at the moment. If she would eat things like that when she was pregnant…Sakura pushed the thought away, because she still wasn't sure it wouldn't make her vomit.
She had waited a few weeks to start asking her friends about how they felt about marriage, and her first couple had made her doubt that it was really something she wanted.
But then again…the way that Shikamaru was looking out for Ino, and giving her anything she wanted, though he so clearly found her appetite to be as disturbing as Sakura did. To be able to depend on someone like that to always do anything for you…Shikamaru would never be a romantic guy, Sakura was sure, but what he was doing now seemed very thoughtful and sweet. If marriage meant that you could always depend on each other, and on the power of your love seeing you through any trial…that could only be good, right?
She was near to his house anyway, and she was already thinking about it, so Sakura soon found herself at Kakashi-sensei's door. She knocked, wondering if he would be there, or if he was over at Iruka's place, but just as she was about to turn, the door opened, and her masked teacher appeared, looking like he had only woken up a few moments ago, except for the fact that he was fully dressed.
"Sakura?" he sounded a bit surprised, and she realized with a small modicum of guilt that she had not been to his apartment in ages, and had not even spoken to her old teacher in months.
"Hello, Kakashi-sensei. May I come in?" she asked him, and he blinked at her before shrugging, clearly past the point of surprise or confusion, and letting her in. She had forgotten how very unlived-in his apartment felt. There were no clothes on the floor, no dishes out of place. Barely any decorations. She realized now that this was because he was almost always at Iruka's, and that this apartment was really only for appearances, and for him to store his things. "Can I ask you something?"
"I always have time for my cute students, as long as they aren't going to waste my time with temper tantrums." Kakashi was smiling, and Sakura pursed her lips, fighting back embarrassment as she remembered how she had attacked him and gotten him in trouble with Iruka so long ago.
"If that was true, you wouldn't have spent so much time with Sasuke." She teased, and Kakashi laughed, sounding vaguely surprised at her quick, sharp retort.
"What can I help you with?" Kakashi gestured to the couch, and she took a seat. He had always been a bit more polite with her than he had with Naruto and Sasuke, and though she felt close to him, there was a certain distance there, and she wondered if he would be frank with her, even now.
"How long have Iruka-sensei and you been together?" she asked, and she could tell, though he hid it well, that he was not expecting that question, and was sitting down slowly to cover his surprise.
"Oh, a while now." He shrugged as though he couldn't be troubled to keep track of these things, and she frowned slightly.
"How many years?" she insisted, and he sighed slightly.
"Five years." He answered, seeming a bit out of place without his book there to look at so that he could distance himself from the conversation. Sakura blinked. They had been together that long? They had never given her a hint, and she might have never known, but for Sai telling her.
"If you could," Sakura went on, regaining her train of thought. "Would you marry him?"
"To be honest, I'd be happy to just live in the same place as him." He smiled, as though this was a joke, but Sakura thought it was almost the saddest thing she'd ever heard.
"Kakashi-sensei," her brow furrowed. She didn't like seeing people she cared about in pain. "Have you told him how important it is to you?"
"Sakura, you came to ask me for something, didn't you?" he sounded weary, and sad, and she wanted to hug him, but she couldn't think of how to do it without the scene being awkward. "Let's forget my troubles. I'm guessing this has something to do with Sai, am I right?"
"Yes, but—"
"Well, if you're asking me if I think you should marry him, then I'd tell you no." Kakashi told her with a finality that surprised her. "If you have to ask other people about it, then you aren't really ready."
"Oh." She supposed that made sense in its own way. "But…how will I know when I am ready?"
"You'll just know." Kakashi shrugged slightly. "You're smart, but you think about things more than you need to. If he asks you something like that, don't analyze all the choices like you're on a mission, just answer what you first think of, and then you'll know. Don't ask me, though. I can't get my own life to work, so my advice can't be great."
"No, what you say makes a lot of sense." She smiled and stood, and he rose to show her to the door. "Thanks for everything, Kakashi-sensei."
"Yeah, yeah, I know." He yawned, as though bored with their meeting, and she smiled, turning and beaming at him.
"Tell him how you feel, sensei." She told him. "Love doesn't always have to be a sacrifice, you know." She left him speechless, feeling pleased with herself, but also feeling like she was done with advice for the day and wanted only to go home to Sai.
When Sakura opened the apartment door, she wanted nothing more than to curl up with Sai, relax, and try to calm down the flurry of thoughts that were troubling her just then. However, they appeared to have a houseguest.
"Hi Sakura!" Naruto came out of the kitchen, and she could just see Sai behind him. The blonde was wearing her own apron, which was rather frilly for a boy, and she had to bite back laughter at the sight. "I'm teaching Sai how to cook!"
"He is not teaching me how to cook." Sai responded with a twinge of indignant pride. "He is teaching me how to make a cake."
"Cake, that sounds good." Sakura smiled wearily at both men. "What's the occasion?"
"Uh, Sakura." Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, remember your birthday? It's tomorrow."
"Oh!" Sakura flushed brilliantly, feeling completely foolish at having forgotten something so obvious. "I can't believe I didn't think…wait, was I supposed to be surprised?" Sai shrugged, and she entered the kitchen, smiling when she reached up to brush a smudge of flour off his cheek.
"No, no surprise. Now I realize that I could have surprised you, since you seem to be surprised by the date of your birthday, but I was not expecting that." Sai told her, dropping a kiss on her forehead, and she flushed with pleasure. "I am glad that you like cake, though. Naruto assured me that nothing is better than a cake on one's birthday."
"Sorry to invade!" Naruto laughed sheepishly, and Sakura suddenly realized how private the moment must have appeared to embarrass him like that. "I tried to convince Sasuke we could do this at our place…but yeah, he doesn't want us making a cake over there. Jealous, I think. He doesn't like when I cook with other men, and he especially hates sharing sweets." Sakura couldn't help herself bursting into laughter at that, and Sai smiled brightly, turning back to the oven.
"Well, it smells great, you two." Sakura beamed, feeling more refreshed than she had thought possible from Naruto's visit already. "Do we have to wait until tomorrow to sample it?"
"Sakura, of course!" Naruto managed to look mortally offended. "It's your birthday cake, you can't just eat it before your birthday. Oh! We should have a party!"
"No!" Both Sai and Sakura opposed the idea at once and Naruto looked a bit surprised.
"I mean, I'd rather it be low key." Sakura smiled, trying to seem less terrifying to the blonde. He shrugged and shook his head.
"I don't understand you two." Naruto grumbled slightly. "Everyone likes parties. Except Sasuke, I guess."
"And Neji, he hates them." Sakura pointed out. "Mostly because he always ends up carrying a passed out Lee home."
"Gaara always hides when he is invited to parties, so I would guess that he does not care for them very much either." Sai speculated.
"I liked them a bit more before I had to practically carry him home from one." Sakura shrugged apologetically, jerking a thumb at Sai, who tilted his head slightly.
"I am sorry, I did not mean to ruin the fun of parties for you." Sai told her.
"I'd rather just be alone with you anyway, don't worry about it." Sakura smiled shyly at him, as if they were a new couple, not at all like they'd been intimate for months, and if you counted the interlude, years.
"You guys are sweet!" Naruto told them happily. "When are you getting married?"
"Ah, I asked Sakura already, but she said it is too soon, even if she has to risk bastard children since we keep having sex together, which I warned her could have consequences. I've read all about it, you see." Sai explained. Sakura felt her face flame, and even Naruto seemed embarrassed by Sai's forthright nature.
"Oh…yeah, that can…um." Naruto was clearly struggling to ignore his discomfort and make light of the situation, but he was having a hard time. "Yeah."
"It is a good thing that Sasuke and you are both men." Sai told Naruto stolidly. "With all the sex you have been having, you would have been pregnant for sure by now, otherwise."
"Sai!" Sakura threw up her hands, not even knowing what to say to that.
"Well, statistically speaking, if you are having intercourse at least once or twice a week, and you are together for as long as they have been, is what I mean. If one of them was a woman, you would expect them to have two or three children by now." Sai explained. Naruto looked like his face was about to catch fire, and Sakura thought quickly.
"Does the cake have much longer?" she changed the subject swiftly, and they both blinked at her. "I mean, I'd like to catch up with Naruto, if I could. If you don't mind, Sai." She smiled brilliantly at him, and the pale man shook his head, looking a bit dumbfounded, for once.
"That…that'd be great!" Naruto grabbed Sakura's hand and tossed his apron aside. "Let's go for a walk! Some fresh air…just the thing!"
"I will watch the cake, then, shall I?" Sai volunteered, but there was no answer as his two teammates hurriedly left.
"Sorry about that." Sakura apologized, and Naruto shook his head, shrugging slightly as though it didn't matter at all to him. "You know how Sai can be."
"You don't have to apologize for him, he didn't mean anything by it." Naruto sighed heavily. "The truth is…sometimes I wish I could do that for him. Give him a child, I mean. I know he says he doesn't care about his clan, but when we first joined Team Seven, he said he had two dreams. I'll never forget that, and even if he says…I don't want him to give up his dreams for my sake." His voice cracked slightly and Sakura looked over at him in alarm. Of all her friends, she had thought that Naruto and Sasuke were in the most secure relationship she knew. She had never seen them have any sort of serious fight in the time she had known of their relationship, and they both seemed so content and happy with each other, and to make Sasuke seem happy meant a lot. She had never thought that there might be insecurities still between them, even though Naruto had told her of his old doubts and concerns.
"Well…you risked your dream for him." Sakura offered, recovering herself. "If it really came down to a choice between being Hokage and being with him, what would you choose?"
"That's different." Naruto flushed deeply. "It isn't like it would ever come down to that decision, and even if it did, obviously I'd pick him. What kind of Hokage would just throw away their relationship for power? I wouldn't deserve to have the position if I'd really choose being Hokage over him."
"Naruto…" Sakura sighed and stopped, sitting down on a bench they had reached and indicating that he should join her. "You devalue yourself too much. I don't think you see how lucky Sasuke is to have you. I know you think you're the lucky one, but think of it from his point of view. He pushed you away, he was a total ass to you, and after everything, after he almost killed you, after he told you that he didn't care about you at all, and he tried so hard to burn every bridge between you…after all that, he came back, and you forgave him everything, and you trusted him with this," she reached forward, rapping her knuckles softly against his chest. "That's a lot more than just giving him a second chance as your friend. You gave him everything, and you had no way of knowing he wouldn't turn away from you again, and in the end, it worked out. That's what's so amazing about you two. You made me see what love really was like, and if I hadn't…I might have never taken a chance with Sai, much less a second chance."
"You make it sound like…" Naruto flushed, shaking his head. "Thanks, Sakura…I know you're right, it's just hard to let someone you love give up on something they want for your sake. But…yeah, I do trust him, and I should trust him in this, too." He sighed and leaned back, staring up at the skies, and they lapsed into a comfortable silence before he spoke again. "So, did he really ask you to marry him?"
"Yes." Sakura flushed slightly, not really knowing how to feel or what to say in this instance. "But…I mean, I wonder if it's too soon. What do you think? I mean, Sasuke and you aren't married, and unless things change, you won't really…I'm sorry."
"No, it's okay." Naruto smiled at her, but she could see it bothered him a little bit, at least. "I knew what I was getting in to. Part of me always wanted to get married and have a family, but things turn out how they turn out, you know? He is my family, and I don't need to be married to him to know that. Neither do you. Marriage isn't about needing, it's about wanting. Do you want to marry him?"
"Yeah," Sakura felt her heartbeat speed up at the admission. "I do."
"Well, then why wait?" Naruto asked. "Do you think you'll change your mind?"
"No…no I won't." Sakura took a deep breath. "You're right, Naruto. I should just do it, if I want to, and he wants to! What's holding me back, except worrying what other people might think?"
"And it's none of their business, anyway!" Naruto told her, punching the air with his fist and jumping to his feet. "You can do what you want! It's your life, and if you guys want to get married, you should be able to do it today if you like!"
"Well…I'll probably have a wedding." She flushed slightly. "It would be nice to go to one I'm enjoying."
"Yeah, Sasuke hates weddings…actually, he pretty much seems to hate everything involving other people…" Naruto considered, and Sakura laughed, standing to join him as they walked back to her house. She had made everything much harder than it needed to be. Why couldn't she have just looked on the situation with clear eyes from the start? Once again, she felt grateful to Naruto.
Sakura stretched and smiled sleepily as she felt Sai pull her closer as they both put off the inevitability of getting out of bed. "Happy birthday," he whispered groggily as he kissed the top of her head and squeezed her just as she nuzzled closer to him.
"Mm, another year." She kissed his bare throat sleepily. "Still love me?"
"Always." He assured her, his hand sliding through her hair as she continued to plant lazy kisses on his throat and chest. "Every wrinkle makes you more beautiful, every gray hair makes you wiser."
"Shut up, I don't have any," she halfheartedly shoved at him. "What do you want to do today?"
"It is your birthday, we should do what you like." He told her, kissing her forehead as she looked up at him.
"I want to stay in bed all day." She smiled and kissed his chin, and he took his time to capture her mouth in a long, slow kiss. No matter how often they did this, no matter how long they were together, she never tired of him, it seemed. She never regretted her decisions.
"We cannot stay in bed all day, you know this." He told her, but before he could elaborate, three children burst into the room with no warning, causing Sakura to gasp and cover herself with a sheet.
"How many times do I have to tell you to knock!" she berated the three children. The eldest, Tadashi, who looked exactly like an eight-year-old Sai, was balancing a tray carefully, having almost dropped it during their sneak attack entry.
"Ninja don't knock, they attack." He explained. "This is good practice. If we can surprise two jounin, we will be very powerful ninja."
"This is true." Sai nodded, smiling as he cast about for his wife's robe, and pulled a pair of pants on to cover himself. "Sakura, our children are very stealthy, are they not?"
"Mommy, don't be mad!" the youngest, Umeko, a five-year-old girl who also looked almost entirely like Sai, except for her green eyes, climbed onto the bed and tearfully held out her arms to demand a hug. Sakura could not resist her children, and she complied. "Ta-chan said we should, and I said you'd be angry if we didn't knock, but he said we should anyway."
"I'm not mad, it's alright." Sakura smiled so her children wouldn't be afraid, and they all climbed up on the bed. The middle child, Haruka, was seven, and was the only one that really resembled her mother, but her paper white complexion was clearly from her father.
"We made you breakfast in bed," she indicated the tray as she helped Tadashi heft it up onto the bed. A glass of juice still came close to falling over, but Sai reached over and caught it deftly, smiling warmly at his children.
"Mommy, are you really a hundred years old?" Umeko asked, and Sakura couldn't help laughing as everyone started helping themselves to the simple breakfast fare.
"Almost." She giggled. "Who told you that?"
"Ta-chan." Umeko answered, and Tadashi laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.
"I was just joking." He explained.
"You know, daddy's even older than I am." Sakura smiled at her children's varied reactions and she relaxed, enjoying this time with them. She had been with Sai so long now. They had been married almost ten years, and he seemed to be the one thing that would always be there. The children had brought their family even closer, and Sakura felt like it was worth doing all over again just for their sakes. But Sai…in Sai, she had truly found someone who would love her unconditionally, to the end of her days. She felt the same way about him, and she couldn't feel better about everything they'd gone through, even with the suffering and uncertainty, because in the end, it had ended perfectly. She couldn't imagine being happier than she was now.
The End!

Find out when we think Apple will release a new Mac mini in the UK - and what new features and design changes you can expect if Apple updates the Mac mini in 2017. (Click here to read the latest version of this article.)
A new Mac mini is expected to launch in 2017, since the line wasn't updated at all in 2015 or 2016; but Apple (as usual) is giving nothing away other than to say that the Mac mini is still "an important product" in its lineup.
Based on past experience and the specs of current Macs, we've got a fair idea of what to expect from the new Mac mini, and when it is likely to arrive. Read on for the next Mac mini's likely release date, specs, design changes and new features.
We'll update this article whenever new information is unearthed, so check back regularly for the latest Mac mini update rumours. And remember to check our Mac buying guide 2017 for current buying advice, and our guide to the best Apple deals.
New Mac mini 2017: Release date
There are four times during a year when Apple has, at least in recent years, held events at which it announces new products. In the past the company has made anouncements in the spring (usually in March), at WWDC in June, at a iPhone-specific event in September, and at an event in October. The company sometimes keeps product updates more low key and just shuts the Apple online store for a few hours while it adds new products to its range.
Now that WWDC has passed without a Mac mini update, despite the fact that Apple updated the iMac and iMac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Pro, and even MacBook Air at the event, we are thinking that it's likely that Apple will keep any announcement relating to the Mac mini low key. (Click on the links to read the latest news about those products).
We think it's more likely that a new Mac mini could arrive in September or October 2017, with October being the most likely. After all, Apple last updated the Mac mini in October 2014.
What we're unsure of is whether it'll announce it at a keynote event, or whether it'll just take the Apple Store down and introduce it with little fanfare, like the 2017 iPad. We think that the latter is more likely, unless the company has something particularly exciting planned for it's low-cost Mac.
Will Apple discontinue the Mac mini?
Apple, to paraphrase a colleague, is generally very good at killing its darlings: at knowing when it makes sense to drop a much-loved product or product feature - one which is often still popular and/or profitable - and switch focus to something else that has more of a future. Think the iPod classic or the optical drive, or dropping the headphone port from the iPhone 7.
There are a couple of candidates to be the next iPod classic. The MacBook Air is one. But the Mac mini, which hasn't been updated since 2014 feels surplus to requirements now that the Apple TV is making its claim as a media centre device (although for storing a large number of films the mini remains an excellent choice, offering 500GB as standard and up to 2TB as a configuration option), will be expecting a P45 more than most of Apple's product line-up.
The design of the Mac mini hasn't changed significantly in recent years and is starting to feel a little dated, and the device doesn't have a clear selling point (or at least, Apple isn't doing a good job of communicating one). So it wouldn't surprise us if Apple quietly retired the line. It's either that or give it a radical overhaul.
However, speaking to press in April at a briefing designed to prove Apple still cares about the professional Mac user - and specifically the Mac Pro, Apple's VP of product marketing Phil Schiller did briefly mention the Mac mini, saying: "The Mac mini is an important product in our lineup and we weren't bringing it up because it's more of a mix of consumer with some pro use. … The Mac Mini remains a product in our lineup, but nothing more to say about it today."
Do you think it's time for Apple to ditch the Mac mini or would you still buy one?
Looking to the future, here's what we expect from a new Mac mini.
2017 Mac mini: Price
There are currently three models of the Mac mini available; the one that's best for you will depend on your budget and computing needs. The cheapest model currently costs £479, the middle model is £679, and the priciest model is £949.
Of course, you'll still need to factor in the price of a monitor, keyboard and mouse. (For advice on that, see our roundups of the Best Mac monitors, Best Mac keyboards and Best Mac mice.)
We don't anticipate Apple reducing the price with the new model when it launches, so you can expect similar pricing. Hopefully better specs for your money, though, of course. Which leads us on to...
2017 Mac mini specs: Processor
The Mac mini is Apple's most budget-focused desktop system and as such features relatively low-end components. But what specs upgrades should we expect from the next Mac mini?
Intel is shipping Kaby Lake processors that would be suitable for a Mac mini, but even Skylake, the previous generation of Intel processors, would represent a significant power boost over the current, aging, Haswell processors.
Kaby Lake supports Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 and DisplayPort 1.2, as well as 4K video. The chips are manufactured using a 14nm process, same as Broadwell and Skylake. The next generation, Cannonlake, will switch over to a more accurate 10nm process. As we discuss in our iMac rumour roundup, Intel has laid out a roadmap for its next four generations of processor. After Skylake and Kaby Lake, Intel will release Cannonlake, then Ice Lake in 2018 and Tiger Lake in 2019.
It's highly unlikely that Apple will include an AMD processor in the next generation of Mac minis... unlikely, but not out of the question, given that AMD's new CPUs are set to come out this year. We'd rate the chances of an AMD chip appearing in the 2017 Mac mini as slight.
2017 Mac mini specs: Graphics card
The current range of Mac mini models feature integrated Intel graphics, and we expect this to remain the case in the next generation.
2017 Mac mini specs: RAM
Right now, the entry-level Mac mini features just 4GB RAM as standard, which we think should be ramped up to 8GB in the new entry-level model, as is the case with other Macs like the MacBook Air.
Perhaps Apple will quietly update the RAM while keeping the processor the same, as it has done with the MacBook Air.
2017 Mac mini specs: Storage
The other big change we hope to see in the new Mac mini is the addition of more flash drive options. Currently the 2.8GHz model comes with a Fusion Drive, or you can add 256GB flash storage to that model, or the 2.8GHz model.
While the 500GB hard drive in the current entry-level model (and the 1TB hard drive as standard in the £569 model) might appear attractive to some, flash memory is so much faster that we believe it is well worth the compromise of storing additional files on an external hard drive.
However, it seems unlikely that Apple would do away with the hard drive storage option altogether, as many workgroups choose the Mac mini as a server and will need the extra capacity and lower prices that HD storage makes possible.

2017 Mac mini specs: Ports
You can expect to see Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-C on the new Mac mini as the two standards use the same port. USB-C offers more advantages than just being reversible and thereby easier to connect when you can't see what you're doing.
It offers twice the data throughput of USB 3.0 and the ability to deliver far more power. The latter factor enabled Apple to use USB-C as a combined data and power port and further slim down its laptop design.
2017 Mac mini: Design
It's possible that the 2017 Mac mini will get a new design. We're not expecting a major visual or build redesign, but it is certainly possible that it could get thinner and smaller, especially since it no longer has to accommodate a CD drive.
Right now the dimensions are 3.6cm high, 19.7cm wide, and it weighs 1.22kg. How about a Mac mini that has similar dimensions to an Apple TV? (That's 9.8cm wide, 2.3cm high, and a weight of 0.27kg.)
There was some speculation that the reason for the long delay prior to the Mac mini update in 2014 was that Apple was looking at redesiging the Mac mini along the lines of the Mac Pro.
This was probably intended as an April Fool's Day prank, but we like this render of a flat Mac mini, as seen on Apple User.
Even better, how about a Mac mini that's also an Apple TV? Adding Apple TV functionality to a Mac mini would be a great way of getting the Mac mini into people's living rooms as a home entertainment device.
Also... what is the Mac mini?!
Not the no-brainer it might sound like to keen mini-heads: plenty of otherwise tech-savvy folk aren't aware the Mac mini even exists. Indeed, sometimes it seems like Apple itself isn't aware of its presence. That would certainly explain the long gap before the 2014 model was launched.
The Mac mini is Apple's smallest desktop Mac and also its cheapest Mac, at £479. It's a full-blown OS X or macOS Sierra desktop that fits into a self-contained chassis no bigger than a set-top box. It's an inexpensive living-room Mac that lacks the power of even some MacBooks and comes with no keyboard, mouse or display, but one that works perfectly as the centre of your digital home - not least because it comes with HDMI sockets, so that plugging it into a modern TV is a doddle.

5 reasons to build a dam for your rural property
November 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Everybody is familiar with the idea of a dam; some are muddy and seemingly bottomless, some are almost pitch black with run off and sediment, others are clean and always brimming, but rarely do we expect to see one beyond the limits of a genuine farm. While the benefits of damming your land may seem […]

Please read carefully
A provisional booking date may be made by writing/email/telephone and will be held for 5 working days (8 working days for our US guests) pending receipt of a written confirmation and
full deposit or payment as appropriate. Bookings may only be made by an adult aged 21 years or over. Only the persons named on the booking form are permitted to stay in the house.
Florida State Law prohibits subletting, sharing or assigning. Any persons not shown on the booking form will be asked to leave by our agents. Before your booking can be accepted, the
leading member of your party must complete and sign the booking form. The person who signs the form shall be deemed to act as the agent for all the persons shown on the form and
that signature binds all member of the party, jointly to the booking terms and conditions.
When booking, a $350/ £200 deposit per week is payable. This deposit must be received with the completed booking form for the reservation to be confirmed or the booking will be
cancelled. A verbal or written booking will be held for 5 working days pending receipt of the completed booking form and deposit.
At the time of confirmation, an account will be issued showing the balance due. Approximately 10 weeks before your departure date a final invoice will be sent to you showing the
balance due which must be paid at least eight weeks before travelling to Florida. Bookings made within 8 weeks of arrival are payable in full at the time of booking.
The owners reserve the right to cancel the booking if payment is not received by the due date. Alterations to confirmed bookings may be permitted upon client request and at the owner'
s discretion. Changes need to be notified in writing.
The maximum number of occupants must not exceed 9 people for this reservation. Persons under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by a parent/adult.
If you wish to cancel the booking at any time after it has been confirmed, cancellation must be made in writing. The person who signed the booking form must also sign the
cancellation letter. To compensate for the expense of processing your booking and for the risk of not being able to re-sell the weeks booked, a cancellation charge is payable as follows:
More than EIGHT weeks before the arrival date - Deposit forfeited, if we cannot re-let the week. As soon as we receive a booking (at the same price) for your relinquished dates then I
will return your deposit - I can't say fair than that!!
Between FOUR and EIGHT weeks before the arrival date - 50% of total cost forfeited; again full or part refund if i have managed to re-let your dates - I can't say fair than that.
Less than FOUR weeks before the arrival date - Again if I can re-let it then I will return pro-rata of the deposit depending upon what rate I have managed to get. - Can't say fair than that.
The amount is dependent on when notice of cancellation is received – the more notice given, the less you will be charged. It is therefore strongly recommend that travel
insurance is taken out at the time of your booking.
A refundable security (breakage) deposit of $500/£300 will be collected together with the final balance to cover any breakages, damage or excessive utility charges whilst staying in the
holiday home. This will be returned to you within one week of departure from our home, after an inspection has been carried out by our Property Managers. In addition you may be held
responsible for any damage or loss sustained during your period of reservation in excess of this sum.
The rental commences at 4.00pm on the day of your arrival and ceases at 10.00am on the day of departure. The property will be cleaned before your arrival and again on your
departure. Should you wish to arrange a earlier check in or later departure time, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate your request. It will depend upon whether
there is any guests due out/in the same day. Failure to vacate may render you liable to incur additional rental charges. Our home offers FREE unlimited phone calls and high speed
internet acces.
No inventory item must be removed from the house. This includes pillows, linen and towels. Any breakages or damages must be reported to the Management Company immediately.
We cannot and do not accept responsibility for any cancellation, alteration or amendment to your booking brought about by force majeure (eg war, riot, strikes, floods, terrorist activity,
closure of airports, weather conditions or other events beyond our control). In the unlikely event of a complaint during your stay, please contact the management company
immediately. Should any problem arise while you are there, we would appreciate being advised by you immediately and upon your return in order that we can follow this up with the
management company.
The owner's or owner's agent do not accept any liability whatsoever for death, personal injury, accidents, loss or damage to persons or personal effects however caused. We specifically
request guests to supervise children whilst using the pool. A fence is provided for extra safety. Orlando is a growing area and building work, whether for housing or roads, is unavoidable.
We cannot control, and therefore cannot be held responsible for any building work in the vicinity of our home. You can rest assured, however, that whatever reasonable steps can be
taken to minimise disruption will be taken.
Electrical Pool AND Spa heating is optional and should be requested at the time of booking. There is an additional charge of $185/$100 per week /$28 per night and this must be paid
for within the final balance. In the event pool heating is requested and paid for, the owners cannot guarantee the temperature of the pool as this will vary according to different factors,
predominantly the weather conditions at the time. The owner or owner's agent will not be held responsible for any electrical or mechanical failure of pool heating equipment.
Guests are recommended to take out adequate holiday insurance to cover eventualities such as cancellation, accident, sickness and damage.
The prices quoted include a standard clean upon departure in order to prepare the property for the next guests. Should be accommodation be left in a condition which requires an in-
depth clean we reserve the right to deduct any additional cleaning costs from the security deposit. The management company's decision in this respect is final. The cleaning is
included in your price, unless your booking is for less than 7 nights. Those wishing to have even more luxury, we can also arrange for a daily maid at additional cost -please enquire.
No pets or animals are permitted inside the house or grounds.
Thank you very much

Breast Milk is Gross
I have found that many people think of breast milk as "gross". I can't understand how nutrient-enriched milk from a woman's breasts can be viewed as nastier than a jug of homogenized milk pumped from a cow's rubbery udders. It's laughable, really, that someone can easily enjoy a farm animal's milk, but wince at the mete thought of sampling a woman's milk. This may stem from the fact that breasts have become sexually objectified; people don't seem to remember that breasts, although lovely to look at, have always been intended to sustain human life.

It was only a misplaced shoe that prevented Fadila Bargicho from losing a second child when an
An impatient Ayider Habesha, nine, had left his older brother searching for his footwear. He headed to religious lessons in a hut next to the towering dump. Ayider was buried alive with his six classmates and teacher when a chunk of the open landfill gave way on the evening of 11 March. His body was recovered two days later.
"He could not find his shoe and that was God's way of saving one of my children," Bargicho says of her 16-year-old son, Abdurahim, who usually attended the classes with his brother.
While Bargicho sees divine intervention at play in the incident, the collapse at Reppi landfill was an avoidable, manmade disaster.
In 2011, the French development agency (AFD)
Oromia has been engulfed by violence since November 2015. The unrest has been fuelled by
The AFD funding also covers retraining for the hundreds of people who picked through the waste at Reppi for valuable items, some of whom died in the landslide.
When Reppi was established in the 1960s, it was in the countryside. Now it is surrounded by shops and houses, which have encroached on an expanding rubbish mountain.
Rubbish started being sent to Sendafa, rather than Reppi, in January last year. But operations were suspended seven months later after protests by local farmers, who said the Sendafa site was poisoning water and killing livestock.
The trucks returned to Reppi, where rubbish had been dumped without being treated, compacted or otherwise managed for half a century. Authorities knew Reppi was unstable and over capacity when they resumed operations, according to Nega Fantahun, the head of the city government's solid waste recycling and disposal project office, the responsible agency.
"One cause is the return to Reppi. It's not the only reason, but it's one cause, one reason, it aggravates it," he says of the landslide.
The government hasn't given up on Sendafa, a joint initiative of the city and Oromia region. But activity at the fenced-off site is limited to work on buildings and other infrastructure. Black sheeting covers a shallow bulge of rubbish to try to reduce the smell. An eight-metre high net was constructed to prevent waste blowing on to adjacent farmland but, when a gust of wind arrives, several plastic scraps soar into the air and tumble over the fence into the fields.
In rolling farmland next to the landfill, local opposition to the project is fierce. Gemechu Tefera, 40, a farmer, says maggots from the landfill have ruined food, cattle have died from toxic water, and a dog brought a human hand back from the site. Consultation was so inadequate that residents thought the site would become an airport, the group claims. "If they come again they will have to go through us. We will continue protesting. They will have to kill us first," says Tefera.
The French financing included Sendafa's construction and the closure of 19 hectares (about 47 acres) of Reppi's 36 hectares between 2011 and 2013. Eventually, the plan is to transform the toxic site into a park. Seven hectares have been set aside for a
The AFD is waiting for notification from the city government to begin rehabilitating the remaining section of Reppi. That will only begin once the site is no longer being used for dumping, says Shayan Kassim, project manager at the French agency's Addis Ababa regional office.
According to Kassim, consultants reported that the performance at Sendafa of the city's contractor, Vinci Construction Grands Projets, was satisfactory and there were no irregularities in dealing with the impact on the community. Vinci worked with AFD and the authorities on improving Sendafa for a year after completion, and the government is undertaking more work following storms that caused some leakage into the nearby environment, he says.
"We know the municipality has had some problems with the landfill during the rainy season and we hope the additional works will correct them."
The local administration responsible for the new landfill's location supports the farmers' pollution claims. Shimallis Abbabaa Jimaa took over as head of Bereke district government last year after the protests. He produced an October 2016 report from Oromia's government that concluded water in a local well was not potable and the cause could be a river polluted by seepage from Sendafa. The area had been earmarked by the region as a productive cropping area and should not have been selected for waste disposal, says Jimaa.
The promised improvements could mean local acceptance of Sendafa but, given the strength of the resistance, that seems unlikely, he says. "No one agreed with the project so they rose in revolt."

BlueMail in the News & Media
"I can see all of my different inboxes. So if I have multiple email accounts, or multiple things, I can get all of that in one view. Really simple to use! I love that I can mark things for later, that I can come back to them and archive them for later, and set reminders." – Mario Armstrong, TODAY Digital Lifestyle Expert.
BlueMail is by far the simplest email management application for Android users, and it aims to become more user-friendly as it grows. With an exclusive and tailored interface, it is becoming quite famous and has started to replace the Google's own Inbox App as it offers a lot more than just being an email client.
以上、紹介したメールアプリ BlueMail。
BlueMail supports a lightning fast push notifications for my accounts, where other email clients did not have push! It helped me stay in touch without the need to periodically check my emails just to see that nothing interesting is coming through. I find BlueMail useful for blog entrepreneurs. Bloggers personify the notion of "activity," and this could be one of the productive tools that we need on a daily basis.
Email is a wonderful invention that has made communicating as easy as a simple click of a button. Everyday we are inundated with more and more emails – probably too many to count. This causes our inboxes to explode with information about Groupon deals, Facebook posts, tweets, spam, and updates about work-related information. We can delete, archive, or even try to open every single email, but sometimes we end up missing important messages.
Out of all three email apps, Blue Mail is my clear favorite and winner. Blue Mail offers a deep level of customization, is easily accessible with some different email accounts, and wraps all of its features into an attractive blue on the gray package. Ignoring the battery issues, it's the perfect app for almost all Android email needs.
Do you have multiple email addresses? Do you think it is impossible to manage all of them at one place? If you are nodding for the questions given above, I am sorry to say that you have got it wrong. You can organize and manage emails from all your account like a walk in the park. Today, I am going to review one of the prominent email managing application for Android, BlueMail.
Blue Mail's strongest and most unique feature – especially in light of the app being all-free – is that it allows you to add as many e-mail accounts as your heart desires, making it perfectly suitable for freelancers, various professionals, and even smaller businesses. Thanks to its unified interface, it saves you a whole lot of your precious time and makes switching between e-mail accounts smooth sailing.
59 Best Android Apps for Small Business Owners
Managing a small business is already hard enough without the extra stress of choosing applications to install on your phone.
And you know that there are millions of apps available in the Google Play store and it's difficult to go through them all.
#2. Smartly manage your e-mails with Blue Mail.
One other feature of this application is that you can switch to different email account to see all the emails, as well as there is a unified tab in it in which you can see all the emails together there. Each email account can be distinguished with a unique colour also, to identify which email belongs to which account and all.
5 great Android app alternatives to Gmail
BlueMail also offers very detailed mail management in that you can set how often certain folders sync, configure quick replies, and take full control over what appears in each swipe menu. If you really want to bend your email app to your will, BlueMail has a lot that you'll probably like.
One might think that in this day and age major software companies as big as Microsoft would be able to put out an email client that worked up to most folks' satisfaction. You might think that; and if you did then you'd be living in a land of make-believe wherein operating systems worked without a hitch and where you didn't have to jump through multiple hoops to turn off annoying features.
Blue Mail – Email Mailbox è uno strumento di produttività che offre una gestione semplice ed efficiente delle email. Questo client permette di configurare vari account di posta elettronica aggregandoli in una visuale unificata e supporta molti provider, non solo i più diffusi.
Blue Mail introduces enterprise Microsoft Exchange connectivity
Blue Mail, a leading mobile communications app offering a free email service for consumers, announced the general availability of Blue Mail 1.6. The new update features Native Exchange to connect work email in addition to the already existing support of IMAP and POP3. Corporate users can now use email on the go via Blue Mail alongside all their email accounts as a one central hub.

I am no Nicholas Sparks.
I'm certainly no Jane Austen, either. I do love a good romance, though. I'm not talking about the kind that literally drips sexual innuendo with overly descriptive narrative, but the type of romance story that entrances the reader with the built up tensions of new love in its early stages, and culminates with the union of two people becoming one in heart and soul. I have written lots of short stories and have several unfinished novels stored on my hard drive.
I love to write. I love to develop characters and allow their lives and their story to play out on the pages I compose. No, I am no Jane. I may never have a single book published or ever be considered as a great romance writer, and that's okay. I am doing something which I love and brings me comfort in doing so.
I decided to share this novella with you, and I have a series of other like stories in mind. The description of this first story perfectly illustrates this series – set within the Cotswolds of England, where I intertwine my love of Britain and strong, smart women who find love a second time. I hope to share a chapter each week, but to be honest – it will probably be every two weeks until I get my writing routine back again. I would love to hear your feedback. Be kind. LOL Just kidding, love it or hate it, let me know so I can grow and develop my writing skills. It may be rough in places. I have read and re-read and edited, but who am I kidding. I am sure there is a misspelled word or misplaced comma here and there. (The hubby says I do so love my commas.) 😀 In other words, I don't have an editor on stand-by so please bare with me.
If you don't already subscribe to my newsletter, you may want to as this is where I will primarily announce the newest released chapters. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this first chapter – and I hope you will be back for more. xxoo, Barb

With that said… I invite you to read my first chapter of "At the Water's Edge."
At 47 years old, Kate is still adjusting to being a widow and still grieving for her husband of almost twenty-four years. Kate has been in the midst of writing her twelfth romance novel when he passed away. At her Editor's insistence, she sets out to spend several months living abroad in England, in an effort to get back into writer's mode. The Cotswolds offers Kate not only a chance to complete her novel – but a new start at life and new chance at love.
