We had a lovely stay with Sabastian Natallie Adrian and Camille..
Very friendly and hospitable and a great location xx
Ann Marie Frank Clodagh and Ava xx 😉
The room was quite as we exspected - very comfortable and nice. The breakfast was excellent with new kinds of things every morning and we enjoyed the lovely view.
We had a felling of Bering welcomed, and the hosts were very friendly giving good advise about skiing and other things.
We very much recommend this accommodation.
Lisbeth and Christian
Upon arrival, our host was not there to greet us. This added an additional 2hrs to our 5hr trip + uncertainty that we had even arrived at the correct place. :/ we had to drive thru LOTS of traffic after an already long road trip just to find the internet to contact the host to find out what was going on. Thankfully he answered and just said "we're here now". No apology no addressing us as guests. Furthermore when we arrived we walked into what felt like an estranged relatives house complete with rotting food, debris from the floor swept and left in piles and escorted up to our room, to which we were more or less sequestered. :/ unlike the listing presents, every seat on couches and fireside were filled with the families own belongings and were never removed our entire stay. And even though we would have enjoyed a fire in the alps at Christmas time one was never lit or offered or explained how to properly use. It was as if they weren't expecting company at all and we felt rudely out of place.
Our room was accurate to pictures and clean for us unlike the rest of the house. It is significantly smaller, as there is not an additional space for the separate bed but instead a loft situated over the entry door to the room. They cram a lot into a small space! Although we had no need of this additional sleeping area I'm not sure where a family or party with more than two people would fit. Just know that it is very small.
Furthermore the host awoke very early at 5am approx and we were awakened and doors shut loudly enough repeatedly through the readying process to awake us. Which leads to the next issue of lack of good rest. We both found the mattress extremely uncomfortable in addition to being woken with various house noises. Although we were not welcomed in the rest of the house (who wants to sort through other people mess to try to find a place to sit) we were definitely subjected to repeated noises throughout the house.
Overall it was a "safe" place but I get the impression that is the town itself, not just this particular residence.
Also! The internet wasn't available in our room at all! The signal simply would not register in the rooms location which made it difficult to plan excursions, do research or relax to entertainment in a language we understood. (All the tv is in French). This was also a huge distadvantage. Unfortunately I would not want to stay here again and I caution others to read my review so that they can get a correct interpretation.
Très bonne accueil et lieu très agréable

The first day of speakers concluded with a pair of sessions that discussed current statistics and trends for location based-services. I had, of course, checked into the conference via Foursquare several hours beforehand.
The Shopping Shift? — How Hyper-Local Communities Can Influence the Purchase Funnel
Melissa Parrish, an analyst in the interactive marketing department for Forrester Research, presented a report on location-based services. Forrester expects continued growth in internet and internet-centric phone usage (by 2015, over 40% of US adults using a cell phone will access the internet through their phone)
Three categories of LBS to watch:
Mapping, Navigation, and Search
- 14% of online cell phone users look up directions or map at least once per month
- 50% of smartphone users look up directions at least once per month
- 31% of smartphone users have used a mapping app in the last month
- Online or off, the top 3 search topics include "local" (restaurant, event or movie, retail store)
- 43% of US online adults with search online for and use coupons
- 30% of US mobile owners are interest in receiving a promotion on their cell phone
- 44% of 18-24 years olds are interested in receiving a promotion on their cell phones
- 39% interested in mobile app to download coupons
- 31% interested in mobile app to alert them to discounts and offers
- 33% interested in mobile website to find coupon codes for use in-store
Social Networks
- 4% of US mobile owners have ever used location-based social network
- <1% of these users use them weekly
- 70% of LBSN users influence the purchase decisions of others
Marketers have several things to keep in mind when implementing a LBS:
- Privacy concerns
- Marketing messages and offers must become integrated with the user-experience; focused on service and contextually-relevant (not just display spam)
- Mobile software must become more interoperable and multi-tasking
- Applications and programs need to focus on utility
Until location-based social networks become more integrated, marketers should:
- Start testing (if you have the budget and culture to support it)
- Make mobile coupons easy to find and redeem
- Create very clear opt-in and opt-out mechanisms
- Explain what you're doing with data that is collected (if you think that you can't explain it to them, then rethink how you're using it!)
- Optimize your other campaigns for mobile devices
- Think about how your mobile presences can be supported through other budget buckets
- Investigate the mobile specialties of the vendors and partners you already work with
PANEL: How to Make Location-Based Programs Pay Off in National Level Success.
To get a sense of how location-based services are being used across different industries, a panel of marketers discussed how budgets are shifting from national to local ads and services.
Dave Walker, CEO of Geomentum (moderator)
Joan Gillman, President of Time Warner Cable Media Sales
Alistair Goodman, CEO of Placecast
Anupam Gupta, President and CEO of Mixpo
Melissa Parrish, Analyst at Forrest Research
Walker asked the panel to address four points:
1. How do hyper-local services pay off?
2. Myths of hyper-local technologies
3. Case studies
4. "Trend Dynamics Smackdown" – Where do we see hyper-local heading?
According to Gillman, leading brands are combining location-based strategies with national strategies. They seek to make ads more effective by making it more contextual. It becomes important to integrate the different messages directed at different markets, especially in a competitive landscape. Goodman notes a few critical points for mobile strategy. It must be opt-in. The offerings must add value to the consumer's interaction. The message must be integrated with other parts of the marketing campaign. Finally, marketers must use other touchpoints and channels to advertise and grow the mobile campaign. Gupta recognizes that marketers can extend the tools they currently use locally (i.e., television) as well as add components from online to develop a location-based strategy as part of an integrated marketing strategy. Parrish reminded the attendees to not forget to anticipate potential operational difficulties. Determine who will manage what before a strategy is implemented.
In regard to myths, Gupta noted that many believe implementing a hyper-local strategy is hard. Rather than just apply the same strategy at scale, he notes that a company can use technology (at-call developed ads instead of pre-built ads) to scale the media mix. Gillman addressed the myth that you need an app to reach mobile users. He noted that mobile web and SMS can be used with an even greater reach than apps, and that many of the same hyper-local tools can still be used with these tools. Gillman addressed the myth that one has to buy across countless markets to achieve local marketing. Just as Gupta addressed technology, she noted that services and software tools exist to extend local reach and simplify versioning of advertisements. Walker added the myth that it takes too long. Traditional methodologies might take an exorbitant time (tens of thousands of man-hours), but new technologies (like that used for air traffic control) can now address these countless segments in minutes.
In analyzing case studies, Gillman spoke about national QSR restaurants that are combining television campaigns with local couponing rates. They are able to use different television ads and determine which messages are producing the highest redemption rates. Financial service companies are using local video on-demand services and lead generation to find leads without increasing out-bound marketing. Finally in auto, creative is being delivered across the US only in cable zones who match specific census demographics, to maximize return on investment.
Gupta sees many advertisements moving from television to online. Marketers who take advantage of location-based services generally have good awareness but are looking to increase conversions. Fast-food restaurants, for example, are using time-based ads to see whether coupon redemption is higher for breakfast or lunch foods. Goodman described the research that it done as part of Placecast's Shop Alerts programs. Sonic Drive-In can rotate what menu items are promoted throughout the day, and they are able to offer a unique promotion or promotion code for a unique restaurant. The North Face, meanwhile, can vary phone messages based on activities (e.g., different messages to runners vs skiers) or geography (e.g., weather reports for a specific ski trail.) Walker noted how important both place and time are in location-based services. Parrish shared anecdotal data of a tween-focused retailer. When shoppers were offered online offers while in a store, there was an increase in online sales at time of promotion. That is, they would buy the item online while viewing it in-store.
In regard to future trends, Parrish doesn't believe that hyper-local is a fad. Marketers must find a balance between utility and operational efficiency. When those come together, hyper-local will be "quite real." However, Gupta doesn't know whether local will replace national. The key is that a consumer to receive a relevant message, which benefits local. The key, in his mind, is that the consumer receives the right media mix. Gillman sees it becoming a wholesale reallocation of marketing budgets as technologies continue to develop to support increased localization. National spend will move to local, and current local spend will be reallocated to new buckets. Goodman sees a time very soon when all of the functions of a mobile phone will be location-aware. This will create a shift not just in how consumers are interacting with their mobile devices, but also in how money is being spent between national and local.

Courtroom sketch shows Private Bradley Manning being escorted out after being sentenced for his role in leaking cables to Wikileaks. (Source: Reuters)
Today, Private First Class Bradley Manning received his sentence after being convicted last month of espionage, computer theft, and fraud by military officials for leaking cables to Wikileaks. The Cablegate instigator received a relatively harsh sentence: Army Colonel Denise Lind sentenced Manning to 35 years in prison. In addition, Manning recieved a demotion to Private, loss of all pay and allowances, and a dishonorable discharge from the United States Army. To give some respite, Colonel Lind granted Manning eligibility for parole a third of the way through his sentence, and reduced his sentence by 1,294 days for time served.
Bradley Manning's sentencing at least partly ends the drama that has surrounded both himself and the Wikileaks organization, which is currently aiding and working with intelligence analyst Edward Snowden on his work with the National Security Agency. Manning was arrested in May 2010 after leaking hundreds thousands of documents to
Wikileaks, including video footage of air strikes in the Iraq and Afghan wars. The primary source of concern was hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables from the State Department, which were sent to Wikileaks, though the bulk of the charges were mostly related to the military footage.
Of course, Bradley Manning could have ended up with a far worse outcome. The 19 counts that Manning was convicted carried a total sentence of 136 years. During the tense sentencing period, Army prosecutors pushed to have Manning sentenced for 60 years, representing most of his life, and a $100,000 fine, as a form of "deterrence" against his form of whistle-blowing. However, they also claimed that Manning "betrayed America," despite the fact that he was acquitted on that related charge, aiding the enemy. Manning's defense pled leniency in sentence, emphasizing Manning's struggle with his gender and sexuality, as well as his intentions.
Colonel Lind gave Bradley Manning credit for time served, which as of today is 1,184 days. Lind also gave Manning an additional 112-day credit for time served, due to pre-trial treatment she saw as "more rigorous than necessary." Lind is referring to Manning's initial detention, where he spent nine months in solitary confinement, in a windowless cell for 23 hours a day. This detention made Manning a cause celebre among the anti-war left.
Given the time served, if Manning fails in his attempts for clemency, which he is in the process of doing, he would be eligible for parole in 2021 at the earliest.

GROCERY: Survival tactics
PLMA President Brian Sharoff reviews some of 2004's key trends in private label -- and hints at what's to come.
"Survival is the main driver for retailers to move to private label," says Brian Sharoff, president of New York-based Private Label Manufacturers Association, which will hold its annual conference, "PLMA Store Brands 2025," Nov. 14 to Nov. 16 in Chicago. "Grocers without private label will have to think twice about how they will compete, because it will not be on price."
Volume numbers indicate that retailers are honing their survival instincts: Sales of private label have grown at twice the rate of branded products over the past six years, according to ACNielsen's Private Label Trends 2004.
Retailers are expanding into new categories with private label products, says Sharoff.
"One of the most significant trends this past year has been the increased commitment to the development of ready-to-eat meals," he says. "This plays to two trends: One is the difficulty of making center store attractive to consumers. Ingredients are becoming less important to consumers, who have less time to prepare meals than ever before. The other trend is the push that has been going by other channels to take food away from the supermarket. These are best responded to by the retailer with its own brands."
Although the show looks to the future of store brands, Sharoff says it is difficult to predict what the actual private label landscape will look like, though the growth of the mega-retailer has greatly influenced the presence of private label products.
"These retailers are marketers," he says. "For example, Wal-Mart is one of the top 10 brands in the country. In a situation like Wal-Mart, the question is not whether branded products will continue to be important. The question is, will they be manufacturer brands?"
The innovations of mega-retailers are driving growth in some of the newer private label categories. Wine, for instance, has always been a small percentage of private label sales, but it began to show growth after retailers like Costco began developing their own labels. In fact, over the past five years, Costco has developed more than 400 items carrying the Kirkland Signature name, and approximately 12 percent of Costco's sales now come from private label. That's a clear example of the strength of the retailer's brand extending to its products, making consumers more willing to experiment with them.
Still, there are some products that will have minimal impact as store brands, contends Sharoff -- either because they're commodities and generate little if any excitement, or because, like sugar or flour, they have little room for growth. "There's not much value you can add to these products," he says.
The growth of private label within the mega-retailers has also driven the growth of store brands within smaller regional players, according to Sharoff.
"There are many strong regional private label players, such as Wegmans, H-E-B, and Harris Teeter," he says. "Most of these players have increased their private label share by 10 to 15 percentage points over last year, and more get involved every day."

Howard Zinn Quotes About PastQuotes about: Past
Human beings, whatever their backgrounds, are more open than we think, that their behavior cannot be confidently predicted from their past, that we are all creatures vulnerable to new thoughts, new attitudes. And while such vulnerability creates all sorts of possibilities, both good and bad, its very existence is exciting. It means that no human being should be written off, no change in thinking deemed impossible.
History can come in handy. If you were born yesterday, with no knowledge of the past, you might easily accept whatever the government tells you. But knowing a bit of history--while it would not absolutely prove the government was lying in a given instance--might make you skeptical, lead you to ask questions, make it more likely that you would find out the truth.
If history is to be creative, to anticipate a possible future without denying the past, it should, I believe, emphasize new possibilities by disclosing those hidden episodes of the past when, even if in brief flashes, people showed their ability to resist, to join together, occasionally to win. I am supposing, or perhaps only hoping, that our future may be found in the past's fugitive movements of compassion rather than in its solid centuries of warfare.
If we have learned anything in the past ten years, it is that these lovely things about America were never lovely. We have been expansionist and aggressive and mean to other people from the beginning. And we've been aggressive and mean to people in this country, and we've allocated the wealth of this country in a very unjust way. We've never had justice in our courts for the poor people, for black people, for radicals. Now how can we boast that America is a very special place? It's not that special. It really isn't.
There is the past and its continuing horrors: violence, war, prejudices against those who are different, outrageous monopolization of the good earth's wealth by a few, political power in the hands of liars and murderers, the building of prisons instead of schools, the poisoning of the press and the entire culture by money. It is easy to become discouraged observing this, especially since this is what the press and television insist that we look at, and nothing more.

Stay at Geitaskarð, one of Iceland's stately farms in the early 20th century. Located just off the Ring Road in Langidalur valley in the eastern Húnaþing region, it's only a 15-minute-drive away from town Blönduós. Here you'll find great hiking routes, and interesting attraction all around Húnaþing and the neighbouring Skagafjörður fjord, easily reachable no matter whether you prefer half-day or day-long tours. Open between June 1st and November 1st.
Three double / twin rooms and one family room with a shared bathroom at the farm's main house, a stone building from c.a. 1910. It's one of the oldest rural stone houses in Iceland. The dining and sitting rooms are decorated after the style of stately homes during the mid last century.
Breakfast is included. Other meals available if pre-ordered. Diners and restaurants in town Blönduós (11 km / 7 mi).
Hikes. Geese and ptarmigan season in autumn. Sheep and horse round-up in September and early October (Stanfsrétt corral, 40 km / 25 mi). A par-35, nine-hole golf course by Blönduós, which is also the nearest town where you can find diners, restaurants and various tourism services (11 km / 7 mi).
Geitaskarð faces the southwest, nestling under the foothills of mountains that separate valley Langidalur and the abandoned village Laxárdalur. The glacial river Blanda flows past the farm, after journeying from glacier Hofsjökull and through the highlands. The Ring Road (highway no. 1) passes along the valley and then over the Stóra-Vatnsskarð pass to fjord Skagafjörður. The valley Langidalur is essentially divided into two valleys near the head, namely Blöndudalur and Svartárdalur. You can access the highland road Kjalvegur, which is the most popular summer highland road, directly from Blöndudalur. Note that inhabited areas are quite sparse along Kjalvegur, separated by about 157 km (97.5 mi). The corral Stafnsrétt, one of the more famous corrals in Iceland, is close to the mouth of Svartárdalur (40 km / 25 mi), where you'll have an unforgettable time during round-up season.
You can explore varied interesting hikes around the region. Just above the farm you can follow a trail to Skarðsskarð (the Pass pass) to valley Laxárdalur. The valleys are separated by about 7 – 8 km (4.5 – 5 mi) with level ground for about 300 metres (984 ft.). Other passes you can hike along include Strjúgsskarð and Auðólfsstaðaskarð, near the head of Langidalur. Laxárdalur is a unique area, well grown and beautiful during summer, where nothing will disturb the tranquillity apart from babbling brooks and singing birds. During the mid 19th century, there were about 26 farms in the valley, inhabited by about 300 people. 100 years later, all farms save one had been abandoned.

More than a decade after helping them come of age, Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett has admitted the Cowboys are Queensland's No.1 team ahead of Saturday night's NRL qualifying final.
Bennett said North Queensland's recent record spoke for itself after Brisbane lock Corey Parker (hamstring) was cleared and Cowboys pivot Michael Morgan (ankle) completed training ahead of their derby clash at a sold-out Suncorp Stadium.
It cast his mind back to the first time the teams met in a final in 2004.
History shows "little brother" North Queensland finally emerged from Brisbane's shadow with a 10-0 semi-final win in Townsville – their first victory over the Broncos since their 1995 inception.
Bennett held the Broncos' reins then just as he will again for No.2 seed Brisbane on Saturday night, in his first season back from a seven-year absence.
Asked if that was a seminal moment for North Queensland – now in their 20th year – Bennett said: "I think so, it was important to them and to the game in the state.
"That's why we made the decision that we did."
Back in 2004 Bennett helped the Broncos successfully lobby for the first all-Queensland final to be relocated from an uninterested Sydney to ex-minnows the Cowboys' hometown of Townsville, where a sell-out was assured.
"We made that happen for them," Bennett said.
"We made a choice to go to Townsville because we value the game and no one would have watched the game in Sydney.
"It was a pretty special night up there."
Bennett backed re-signed Broncos back-rower Sam Thaiday's call that the Cowboys were now Queensland's top NRL team.
"They are in the records, they played better last year than the Broncos," Bennett said of No.3 seed North Queensland who hold a 3-0 finals record against Brisbane.
"But I am not worried about being No.1 team in the state.
"It's great to see the (sold out) response from the fans and I hope we play well here and give them what they deserve."
Parker ran strongly on Friday in encouraging signs after he was forced to leave Wednesday training early.
"He was never in doubt," Bennett said.
The Broncos mentor expected Morgan to play after Cowboys coach Paul Green could not guarantee a start on Friday.
Green will monitor how Morgan backs up after he cruised through Friday's training session.
"Given the fact that we do have a second chance regardless of what happens in the game on Saturday night we're not going to take any stupid risks," Green said of Morgan.
If North Queensland win they earn a preliminary final and a week off.
If they lose, they next week host the winner of Sunday's Cronulla-South Sydney playoff.
North Queensland have won just two of their past seven finals matches and not won an away playoff since 2005, losing six straight.

The Ferguson protesters want nothing more than for Darren Wilson to lead a miserable life. Therefore, they are furious today after it came out that Wilson married a fellow cop last month as the Grand Jury deliberated on his fate.
Last month, Wilson, 28, quietly applied for a marriage license at the St. Louis County office. Then on October 24, he married Officer Barbara Spradling, 37, in front of his lawyer, Greg Kloeppel, and Judge Christopher B. Graville in Clayton, Missouri.
This is the second marriage for both Wilson and Spradling. Wilson was previously married to Ashley Nicole in October of 2011, but they divorced in November of last year.
Wilson and his new wife already own a home together in Crestwood, Missouri. He has been on paid administrative leave since the August shooting of Michael Brown, and he has not appeared in public at all since.
This latest move suggests that despite everything that has happened, Wilson is trying to move on with his life. This will no doubt enrage the protesters, who want nothing more than Wilson's head on a platter.
What do you think of Darren Wilson's decision to get married? Sound off in the comments below!

Rapper Lil Wayne hasn't kept his frustration with longtime label Cash Money a secret. Wayne became so fed up with the delayed release of his anticipated album The Carter V, he took the issue to court, only to later drop the suit. Now, it's being reported that Wayne is still planning to refile the $51 million lawsuit – only this time it will be in his home base of New Orleans.
The release of The Carter V album has been delayed for months now. While the album has been in limbo, Wayne set Twitter on fire by tweeting his anger about the stalled project.
The lawsuit Wayne is filing not only asks for unpaid advances he claims he's owed, but also requests a percentage of profits from both Nicki Minaj and Drake, whom he discovered and signed.
Wayne's former partner Birdman currently heads up the label and the two shared a close friendship leading up to the Cash Money rift. Wayne is not the first artist to jump the Cash Money ship. Rapper Tyga also claimed his creativity was being imprisonment by the beauocracy over at the label and that he planned to move forward independently.

S Voice sounds like a bored version of Siri in this video challenge
0. phoneArena posted on 14 Jun 2012, 01:40
Is the S Voice ready for Prime Time? Based on a comparison video, it would appear so as both interactive personal assistants quickly answered questions, set an alarm and sent a text message; S Voice could use a little work on the vocals which sometimes sounded bored and distant...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
25. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Svoice choked twice. once because it didnt understand "yes", and once because it didnt have that feature. S-Voice was slightly faster getting things done but Siri "sounded" nicer.
Id throw that as a win for android for the simple fact that it never stuttered and it could do anything the user asked.
27. SlimSoulja86 (Posts: 660; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
U mean Siri choked or S-Voice?
30. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
oh, your right.. sorry. i ment Siri choked, not S-Voice.
34. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
You really need to calm that pro-Android mentality of yours. I'm sure you didn't miss the part where he spoke at the same time as the tone and thus not making it register.
And I'm sure you saw that when the guy sent a text message, s voice added a question mark to the end of the text, which would mean that the reviewer would have to go through a whole series of voice commands to fix even a small error such as that.
If you're in the U.S., its pretty much a tie, you just need to get use to the software and timing. If you're not in the U.S., then obviously you won't get directions for anything much. But once Fall comes in, I'm sure you'll have your clear winner
28. alan_1230 (Posts: 86; Member since: 22 Apr 2012)
This is amazing I am glad voice recognition is doing well . It seemed to understand the person more then siri was able too ! Voice recognition is at it's point were siri was in iPhone 4s but now that it is being updated with ios 6 it now knows sports -.- . anyways Samsung rules and i will buy this device :)

|Re: Help needed: is couchDB a good fit for my app?
|Thu, 21 Apr 2011 19:09:29 GMT
Not saying that a database per user isn't a good idea (probably would work pretty well with the future replication database feature), but some alternatives that I could think of are: You could potentially have something in front of couchdb to restrict the access to regular doc GET/POST/PUT and force the outside world to pull using show and list functions. I believe you could user the user's context/session object that is in the request object (pretty sure show/list get it) to filter out the non-user/public data. You'll probably have to always use update functions as well to avoid overriding tags. That or perhaps have the generic document stand alone and then the user specific stuff in a separate document owned by the user. I believe still in this scenario you would have to put something in front of couchdb to restrict access if they are private. You would be able to make use of filters for replication and changes pretty effectively I think.

By Brad Chacos, Senior Editor, PCWorld | Oct 6, 2015 10:45 AM PT Share All Slides SLIDEFEATURED PRODUCTS Blending physical with digital Surface Book Surface Pro 4 Lumia 950 and 950 XL Microsoft Band HoloLens Windows 10 on Xbox One Windows 10 Share this Slideshow Direct link: See larger image Blending physical with digital Wow. Just…wow.Going into Microsoft's massive device launch event on Tuesday, everyone knew that the focus would squarely fall on the intersection of physical and digital—new Microsoft devices that showcase everything possible with Windows 10. What we didn't expect was just how convincingly Microsoft would manage to push its vision for convergence between hardware and software, or how damn sleek and sexy Microsoft's in-house hardware would look.From a Surface-powered MacBook rival to Lumias that appear well worth the wait, here are the seven biggest reveals from Microsoft's hardware blitz. Surface Book The surprise star of the show, the 13.5-inch Surface Book is the result of the Surface team's wondering "what if we can do for laptops what we did for tablets?" The answer: something awfully compelling.The sleek, sexy Surface Book leans on Microsoft's decade-plus of experience designing keyboards and the Windows 10 team's precision trackpad wisdom to deliver what Surface head Panos Panay claims is a top-notch ergonomic experience—always a key selling point in laptops. And while the Surface Book was created to be "the ultimate laptop," its screen actually detaches, held in place by a Lenovo Yoga-like "dynamic fulcrum hinge" strengthened by Microsoft's "muscle fiber."This thing holds up spec-wise, too, with a quad-core Intel Skylake processor, up to 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM, and a discrete Nvidia GeForce GPU to drive the display's 6 million pixels. Ounce for ounce, Panay said, this is the most powerful 13-inch laptop ever, with twice the power of the MacBook Pro.But that's just the tip of the iceberg! Read our Surface Book reveal article for more details. See larger image Surface Pro 4 The Surface Book may have been the highlight, but the Surface Pro 4 pulled no punches after both Google and Apple revealed Surface clones of their own in the past month.This is the thinnest and lightest Surface yet—Panay said it could've been thinner if Microsoft had jettisoned USB 3.0 (the tablet retains one such port)—but it's no performance slouch, with a new Intel Skylake processor and the same storage and memory options as the Surface Book. The display's also been upgraded, ditching the bezels to pack 5 million pixels into the expanded 12.3-inch screen.But the real story, as always, is how the Surface Pro 4 acts as Windows 10's paragon. The tablet packs the thinnest cover glass ever to provide better stylus support. Holding the Surface Pen's button summons Cortana, which can then answer your voice queries. Any web searches conducted with Cortana open in the Edge browser, the results of which you can mark up with the Surface Pen to complete this virtuous circle.The Surface Pro 4's camera and new Touch Cover were designed to take advantage of Windows 10's killer Windows Hello biometric technology, and the Surface Pen comes with all sorts of options now. Check out our Surface Pro 4 write-up for the full scoop. Lumia 950 and 950 XL Windows Phone has been languishing ever since Microsoft purchased Nokia. Most of the Nokia staff has been laid off, and there hasn't been a new Windows Phone flagship released in over a year. That ends with Microsoft's Lumia 950 and 950 XL, which bring Windows 10 to the mobile market with a bang.The duo shimmers with high-end touches: high-quality 20-megapixel cameras, a water-cooled CPU (what?!), high-resolution displays, and USB-C ports are one hell of a spec list.But as with the Surface devices, it's what these Lumias do with their underlying software that's almost more impressive. These show what's possible on a phone powered by Windows 10 Mobile. The front cameras support Windows Hello, so the phones automatically and almost instantly unlock when you hold them up. The Lumia 950 and 950 XL also support Continuum, the killer Windows 10 Mobile feature that lets your handset perform like a full-blown Windows 10 PC when it's connected to an external monitor, thanks to the power of Windows 10's universal apps.Check out our Lumia 950 and 950 XL coverage for lots more info. Microsoft Band Like the Surface and Lumia devices, the new Microsoft Band—not the Band 2, just "Microsoft Band" again—merges hardware with software to create experiences that users simply can't find on other devices and operating systems.The new Band sports a sleek, curved Gorilla Glass 3 display and deeper Cortana integration, but the real story here is how the sensor-laden device communicates with the cloud-based smarts of the Microsoft Health app to deliver actionable, personalized data to you. The second-gen Band adds yet another sensor, a barometric sensor for elevation tracking. The blend of hardware and software can track your usable oxygen levels and know when you're merely practicing your golf swings or tearing up the fairway—a level of granularity you won't find on other watches or fitness bands. See larger image HoloLens Microsoft didn't have much new to share about its intriguing augmented reality headset, but it did show off a new game, Project X-Ray, that turns your home into an alien battlefield with the help of a mysterious new controller.Holographic aliens are always fun, but the real meat came from Windows chief Terry Myerson's more pedestrian announcement at the end of the little show: Developers can apply for a HoloLens development kit today, which will then be released in the first quarter of next year for $3000. Not $350, like the Oculus Rift's dev kits. $3000.Hot damn. See larger image Windows 10 on Xbox One The Windows 10-powered "New Xbox Experience" for Xbox One is already being put through its paces by beta testers, but if you're not one of the chosen few, be patient. Myerson said Windows 10 will come to all Xbox One users in time for the holidays, along with the capability to stream backward-compatible Xbox 360 games from the console to Windows 10 devices. Yay! See larger image Windows 10 There's been a core theme underlying all of these hardware announcements: Windows 10. And Windows 10 is on a roll.The operating system's already claimed 110 million installs in the mere 10 weeks since its launch, Myerson revealed alongside some other nifty Windows 10 stats, and people have asked Cortana more than a billion questions already. To celebrate, Myerson announced that Facebook's bringing universal Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger apps to the Windows 10 ecosystem.Microsoft's no doubt hoping that all these new devices highlight what Windows 10's capable of when it's included in more holistic hardware design, which will help push the operating system towards its stated 1 billion user goal. If Microsoft's partners can pump out PCs and phones that are half as compelling as the Surface and Lumia lineup revealed today, Windows 10 might just reach that goal…someday.

We expect sustained weakness in the yen over the short term as Japan's quantitative easing programme takes effect. Although lower oil prices will help to lower Japan's overall import bill, Japan's exports have not improved significantly despite the weak yen.

text: Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE: AMG), a global asset management company, today announced a number of strategic initiatives as part of its increased focus on the U.S. retail market, including rebranding Managers Investment Group LLC, its domestic retail distribution business, as AMG Funds, and aligning Aston Asset Management within the AMG Funds business. Through this process, 39 mutual funds available through Managers Investment Group will be rebranded as AMG Funds in the second quarter of 2014, a step which will more closely associate the identity of these funds with AMG. In addition, AMG will exercise its option included in the original agreement with Aston to acquire the balance of the equity of Aston that it does not already own. This option was unique to the Aston transaction. Aston will remain a distinct business within AMG Funds, serving the Aston Funds and shareholders with its own management and sales teams and back office. The transaction, which has been approved by the trustees of the Aston Funds, is subject to the approval of Aston mutual fund shareholders and is expected to close by June 1, 2014. "We believe AMG has a tremendous opportunity to gain additional market share as U.S. retail investors seek actively managed, return-oriented investment strategies," said Sean M. Healey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AMG. "The steps we are taking – the rebranding of Managers Investment Group as AMG Funds and the alignment of Aston Asset Management within our retail platform – reflect our commitment to make the most of this opportunity by building our scale and capabilities. By leveraging the AMG name into our retail business, we will enable our Affiliates to better capitalize on the AMG brand as they bring world-class products to market." Rebranding of the AMG Funds Established in 2005, Managers Investment Group is a wholly-owned AMG subsidiary with $58 billion in assets under management, assets under service and sub-advised assets. The firm provides access to many of AMG's Affiliates through its family of mutual funds, separately managed accounts and asset allocation products. In addition, the firm oversees and distributes a number of complementary, open-architecture mutual funds managed by non-AMG Affiliates. While the names of funds currently branded under Managers Investment Group will change, the ticker symbols will remain the same. There is no change to the legal or ownership structure of the funds and the name change will have no impact on their management.

How to get rid of the feeling of comparison, the images that flashes whenever she comes near, insecurities, n how to face her exes when you happen to see them ( provided you come to know about them after the marraige)? please reply Honestly if interested.
Most Helpful Girl
Honestly, you have to accept that just because you are are inexperienced that it doesn't mean your wife should be too. Sex is natural and some people are more open to having multiple partners, but ultimately there is no reason for you to compare yourself. She is with you for a reason, and while you may not be experienced you have one thing that those people don't have: a real relationship with a woman you love. That means you two have a long time to learn more about each other intimately to make your experiences with one another unique and wonderful. There's no reason to worry about it too heavily.11|00|0
Thnk you so much... ur opinion made me feel little relief... but how to get rid of those thought n situations in reality?
Honestly by rationalizing it in your head exactly as I did. Ask yourself WHY it matters. Why does it? Because it's actually a problem or because you're self conscious? It's because you're self conscious, which is a curable problem.
Thnk you

Senior Pastor Selection
We noted the need for increased communications and in response we have confirmed our search plans moving forward including a planned March 2017 open call for interested parties to apply for the Senior Pastor position.
This timing anticipates a new Senior Pastor will be commissioned between October 2016 and March 2017. This timing is consistent with Brent's initial announcement re: his retirement at a point following his 40th anniversary as our pastor. It also allows us continue to build a stronger foundation for the incoming Senior Pastor by ensuring we have the required skills, gifts and support in place to support our mission and vision, that we have built increased financial sustainability, and we have shifted our culture to support this fundamental change.
This time frame also allows the Senior Pastor Search committee to continue to seek congregational input regarding the skill set of the new individual, while preparing for the interview and selection process. Finally, it allows for a period of time post-trial and also recognizes that November, December and January are not optimal times to be launching a search for a new minister.
In our meetings we have received a common inquiry in terms of why we did not choose to select an "interim" pastor to bridge the time before Brent and before our new permanent candidate.
We have provided a response to this inquiry and will also address other questions and comments on our website. www.mcctoronto.com/news/interim-pastor
The committee (Anne Brayley, Lori Boyce and Andrew Fleming) was commissioned October 2 at the 10:50 am service.
For more information, contact [email protected]
Congregational support related to the trial
In recognition of the need for congregational support, the Board approved a proposal by management to engage the services of the L3 Group to work with us to provide insight, skills, confidence and assistance to the congregation related to Brent's trial which is scheduled to start November 14.
A team led by Joe Jamieson and includes Bentley Springer, Andrew Holmes, Rev. Sam Morris, Sandra Fontenelle, Kevin Wilcock and Liz Gildner, have worked together to provide two opportunities for church leaders to gather, share, and develop skills and confidence in the strength of our community and leadership.
These sessions have offered a unique and timely team building exercise as staff, Board and key leaders have journeyed together and are building a plan that will provide support for the congregation – especially during and in the aftermath of the trial.
In addition, the staff and management of the church are engaged in scenario planning to ensure we have identified and addressed the impact of various outcomes.
New MCC Interim Moderator Selected
Reverend Rachelle D. Brown was announced as the Metropolitan Community Churches' new interim moderator, details can be found at www.mccchurch.org/interim-moderator/
Reports to the Board
We received these reports:
- A project charter for the Community Care Ministry, identifying an action plan to reinforce the goal of providing support to individuals experiencing episodic and ongoing spiritual questions related to life events and challenges. The ministry includes all ordained staff, clergy candidates and Deacons as well as some laity with specific related competencies and skills (e.g: social workers and grief workers).
- A summary of Brent's 2015 sabbatical which included a number of meetings focused on global LGBT human rights and a book he plans to write based on the Church of the Future.

Skip to comments.Neolithic Men Were Prepared To Fight For Their Women
Posted on 06/02/2008 8:41:45 PM PDT by blam
Neolithic men were prepared to fight for their women
By Roger Highfield, Science Editor
Last Updated: 1:49AM BST 03/06/2008
Neolithic age men fought over women too, according to a study that provides the most ancient evidence of the lengths men will go to in the hunt for partners. Many archaeologists have argued that women have long motivated cycles of violence and blood feuds throughout history but there has really been no solid archaeological evidence to support this view.
Now a relatively new method has been used to work out the origins of the victims tossed into a mass grave of skeletons, and so distinguish one tribe from another, revealing that neighbouring tribes were prepared to kill their male rivals to secure their women some 7000 years ago.
The Durham University research, described in the academic journal Antiquity, focused on 34 skeletons found buried in the village of Talheim in the south-west of Germany.
Article continuesadvertisement Geographic "signatures", chemically derived from the skeletons' teeth, suggest they were of people killed in an attack between rival tribes around 5000 BC as previously dated through radiocarbon methods.
Before the study, it seemed several women were among this unfortunate group, a minority.
But once the new method was used to separate the victims by geographic origin, it was clear that the local group was special - local because it was the only group with any young children, and special because it was the only group without adult women, despite being the largest group.
The researchers conclude the absence of local females indicates that they were spared execution and captured instead which may have indeed been the primary motivation for the attack.
Lead author Dr Alex Bentley says the simplest explanation is that the women of one tribe were captured.
"It seems this community was specifically targeted, as could happen in a cycle of revenge between rival groups. Although resources and population were undoubtedly factors in central Europe around that time, women appear to be the immediate reason for the attack.
"Our analysis points to the local women being regarded as somehow special and were therefore kept alive."
The Durham University-led team, with researchers from University College London, University of Wisconsin and a German government body, came to their conclusions after analysing the strontium, carbon and oxygen isotopes signatures of the skeletons' teeth. These give vital information about the skeletons' geological origin and diet.
The skeletons from the mass grave in Talheim, which were excavated in the 1980s, were all buried in a single pit of three metres long. German experts determined that the majority had been killed by a blow to the left side of the head, suggesting the victims were bound and killed, probably with a stone axe. Others may have been killed from arrow-wounds from behind as if the victims had tried to flee.
Whereas the women from the local community were spared, what remains open for speculation is why women from the non-local groups wound up killed. How did they get caught up in the massacre? They might even have been from the attacking group.
"What we know," Dr Bentley says, "is that the local women were the target," and what the role was of the others is part of the mystery."
Cavemen were fighting for their women...
I thought the only way they could get chicks back then was when they clubbed them over the head.
Sobbin' Women Lyrics
Tell ya 'bout them sobbin' women
Who lived in the Roman days.
It seems that they all went swimmin'
While their men was off to graze.
Well, a Roman troop was ridin' by
And saw them in their "me oh my",
So they took 'em all back home to dry.
Least that's what Plutarch says.
Oh yes!
Them a woman was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin'
Fit to be tied.
Ev'ry muscle was throbbin', throbbin'
From that riotous ride.
Oh they cried and kissed and kissed and cried
All over that Roman countryside
So don't forget that when you're takin' a bride.
Sobbin' fit to be tied
From that riotous ride!
They never did return their plunder
The victor gets all the loot.
They carried them home, by thunder,
To rotundas small but cute.
And you've never seens so,
They tell me, such downright domesticity.
With a Roman baby on each knee
Named "Claudius" and "Brute"
Oh yes!
Them a women was sobbin', sobbin', passin' them nights.
While the Romans was goin' out hobbin', nobbin'
Startin' up fights.
They kept occupied by sewin' lots of little old togas
For them tots and sayin' "someday women folk'll have rights."
Passin' all o' them nights.
Just sewin'!
While the Romans had fights.
"Hey listen to this"
Now when their men folk went to fetch 'em
Them women would not be fetched.
It seems them Romans ketch 'em
That their lady friends stay ketched.
Now let this be because it's true,
A lesson to the likes of you,
Treat 'em rough like them there Romans do
Or else they'll think you're tetched.
Oh yes!
Them a women was sobbin', sobbin',
Sobbin' buckets of tears
On account o' old dobbin',
Dobbin' really rattled their ears.
Oh they acted angry and annoyed
But secretly they was overjoyed
You must recall that when corralin' your streets
Oh, oh, oh, oh them poe little dears.
Oh yes
Them a women was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin' Oh yeah
Weepin' a ton Then sobbin' women
Just remember what Robin, Robin, Robin Oh yeah
Hood woulda done. Them sobbin women.
We'll be just like them three merry men
And make 'em all merry once again.
And though they'll be a sobbin' for a while
Oh yes!
We're gonna make them sobbin' women smile!
So the unbearable urge I feel to beat the living crap out of some metrosexual hitting on my babe is in my genes? I can live with that.
***archaeologists have argued that women have long motivated cycles of violence and blood feuds throughout history ***
Therefore let no man hasten to depart home till each have lain by some Trojan's wife and paid back the strivings and groans for Hellen's sake.____Homer, the Illiad.
Germany had football fans that long ago?
And then they dragged them to their caves. Want to know why they dragged them by the hair and not by the legs? They'd fill up with dirt!
Meaning that the killers (presumably right-handed) faced their victims to deliver the fatal blow. Oh, that's cold.
Any evidence of tooth marks?
It's been a fact of history since... well... before history: when Mister P*nis stands up, Mister Intellect sits down.
Thanks Blam. I'm too lazy to post a link to von Stuck's painting entitled "Two Men Fighting Over A Woman".

Marriage by capture is certainly a well known phenomenon amoung anthropolgists. The question is whether the women were passive or active participants.
When I was young, the other preteen girls and I [ranging in age from 10-13] had a game. We called it "let's throw rocks at the boys across the creek and get them to chase us." Pretty soon they would run through the creek, up the embankment and chase us through the surrounding woods. I was never caught and was complaining about this to one of the other girls. She said, "well, why don't you slow down a little?" I was shocked, "what, slow down, if they are not good enough to catch me, I don't want them."
That's how the Spartans did it. :')
:') Huh? We were trying to confuse the hell out of everyone. ;')
Thanks for the images.
