From 1984 to 1988 seven European countries (Belgium, Finland, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland) and the European Communities undertook under the auspices of COST (European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research), a joint research project on the definition of a data system for interregional passenger transport demand. The overall project was directed by a Management Committee on which the seven participating countries as well as the Commission of the European Communities were represented. Working groups were made responsible for the various themes of the project. Work was carried out in four phases: item"A:" Determining and classifying, in order of importance, the main national and international objectives of the socio-economic research into interregional passenger transport. item"B:" Defining the basic data required for the research work recommended in the first phase and classifying the basic requirements which the data must satisfy. item"C:" Assessing the existing data collection systems and estimating how far the results obtained satisfy the basic requirements defined in the second phase. item"D:" Drawing up a report for those responsible for data collection, making a number of practical proposals to ensure a closer match between data availability and research requirements.par The final report presents the results of work on the themes studied in the project.

Great news!
We're so happy to have one of our favourite brands back in stock all the way from Venice Beach, California. Linus really reflects the ideals we have here at Bikelands. The idea of just getting on a bike and riding. Everyday riding is for all! There are no barriers, doesn't matter if it's 1 mile or 5.
Linus take their inspiration from France during the 50s and 60s, a little bit of elegance we can all enjoy. Go on bring out your inner Jules and Jim; pop on your Breton, pull up your chinos, slip on your canvas' and ride away!!
Linus have a range of accessories that include panniers, handlebar bags and saddle bags. Made from heavy duty waxed canvas, with zippers, poppers and a variety of magnetic clasps. My fav is the Sac, it fits on my bike perfectly using a simple hook. When i take it off and carry, it has what we call 'great stance'. Get one and see what i mean!

The Bikelands story was born out of a love for cycling, a penchant for style and an appreciation for a sustainable transport solution. Cycling is one of life's constants, since my first wobbly 'pedallings' along our street, getting to school, Uni and more recently around the streets of London. A holiday in La Rochelle, France was the inspirational straw that conceived The Bikelands Story.
Bikelands is nestled among all manner of cycle paths and trails and situated within an awesome triumvirate of Devonshire countryside. Whether it is the sandy beaches of Exmouth, the Gateway to The Jurassic Coastline, the ever changing beauty that is the Exe Estuary, or East Devon's hinterland of Woodbury Common, you'll feel as though you've gone to cycling heaven...Those That Ride Discover!
Cycling should be all inclusive, young or old and all those in between. We should also be doing it more often; leaving the car at home when we pop to the shops, even if it's only once a week. For family Bikelands it's a fun, cheap and healthy family day out. The kids always remember these days. But especially it's for you! To blow those cobwebs away and revive the soul.
At Bikelands we see ourselves more of a bicycle emporium rather than a straightforward shop. We're more leisure than Lycra and more picnic than pain. We have a perfect range of elegant bicycles for town and gentle riding, for the ladies and gentlemen amongst us. Created by the London based team at Bobbin Bicycles.
Fixed wheel and single speed cycling is quickly growing in popularity. From it's underground cult followers of track enthusiasts and couriers. It's now spreading countrywide. If you're thinking about doing it, come and see us! I'm sure you have some questions. We have a great range of bikes from Tokyo Bike, Mango and Foffa. For those already indoctrinated, we know you love to customise. Choose from our wide range of components and accessories, including Brick Lane Bikes.
With our beautiful beaches only minutes away, we had to make sure we offered a classic cruiser too, Electra fits perfectly. Go on...Live the dream!
We think bicycles should have personality too. Whether it's a beautiful leather saddle, pannier, rack, bell or basket, you'll find what you need at Bikelands. Choose from Brooks, Basil and Linus, amongst other less known gems. We also have a wide range of stylish accessories and unusual finds, including Bern helmets, Bookman lights and Oopsmark hand crafted leather wine rack. In fact, we're continuously seeking out quirky, stylish and of course practical cycling accessories so remember to keep popping back.
Since opening Bikelands we are lucky enough to have become part of the community here in Exmouth. Many of our customers have become friends. We get many repeat visitors whether that's the 'locals' popping in for a chat, to see whats new in or returning holiday makers who want a repeat of the wonderful day out they had on our bikes the previous year. So don't be shy, pop in for a chat ... Browse, Borrow, Buy...
Happy cycling, Rebecca, Stuart & Family Bikelands x

text: Anyone else waiting on these results? First shot up here. I think I have a pretty good shot, although I'll spare you the resume. The current rumor with the most credence is the results will be out 31JUL - the closer it gets, the more I have to find something extremely occupying to get my mind off of it. I suppose a confirmed date for results would ease the tension a bit, but only a little. Who else is feeling it?


text: Diamond Center - Caraway by Paper Garden Records published on 2011-03-01T19:18:31Z THE BUZZ "It feels as if we could be dancing with some of the most romantic hellhounds out there, when Price is singing. She's got them dogs up on their hind legs and they've got their front paws on her shoulders, going around the fires. " - Daytrotter "a pulsing, washed out, surf rock…that houses just the right amount of old record fuzz and eastern psychedelia" - I Guess I'm Floating BIO Upon forming in 2007, The Diamond Center at its core has always been Kyle Harris and Brandi Price. After travels and homesteads in Athens, Georgia and Lubbock, Texas, their creative migratory patterns led them to Richmond, Virginia. The release of My Only Companion as well as multiple cross-country tours has only solidified the group's psychedelic aesthetic and the adoring legions of fans spread across state lines. Imagine a time when Neko Case may have fronted an outfit like the Velvet Underground. In her downtime, she ventures into a local record store. As she departs, she carries with her records by Spacemen 3, Deerhunter, Beach House, Black Angels and Brian Jonestown Massacre. In all of their intrinsic beauty and inspiration, these records contribute to the direction the group would take from that very instant. In a nutshell, this is the charm of a group like the Diamond Center. By realizing their influences and challenging the expectations of what's come before, the group flourishes with flairs of instrumental freak-outs and recordings that breathe the same air as those produced by pioneers of the past like Phil Spector and Joe Meek. Their live shows enable The Diamond Center to develop a sonic atmosphere where their songs can live on forever. With visual components at play, the fervent drive of the group is fully realized. 2011 promises to be an exciting year for the group. Along with the release of several seven-inches, the Diamond Center plans on recording and releasing a proper follow-up to their debut My Only Companion later this year. With appearances slated for the Austin Psych Fest, Harrisonburg, Virginia's annual Macrock and SXSW, there are no signs of them slowing down any time soon. As the lush shoegaze of The Diamond Center tampers with your senses, you will know it's time to pay attention to the continued success of one of Richmond, Virginia's finest groups.

Manhunt Continues for Suspects in Killing of Fox Lake, Illinois, Police Officer – NBCNews.com
As a small northern Illinois community mourned a popular veteran police officer who was fatally shot while on duty, authorities scoured the area overnight in search of three men wanted in his slaying.
Helicopters were to aid about 100 officers early Wednesday as the manhunt in and around the village of Fox Lake for the suspects in the fatal shooting of Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz stretched toward a second day, a sheriff's office spokesman said.
Authorities from across the state and region poured into the village about 60 miles north of Chicago after the shooting Tuesday morning, some wearing tactical gear and toting high-powered rifles.

Federal agencies, SWAT teams and 48 police dogs assisted in the search for the suspects, Lake County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Christopher Covelli told The Associated Press.
Gliniewicz, 52, a 30-year veteran and father of four young boys, was found fatally shot after reporting that he was chasing on foot three male suspects engaged in suspicious activity shortly before 8 a.m.
His body was found in a marshy area, authorities said. The officer's weapon and pepper spray were missing.
The initial search focused on an area of 2 square miles and lasted for 14 hours, the Lake County Sheriff's Office said late Tuesday. The perimeter was released at around 10 p.m. and the scene was turned over to a task force, the sheriff's office said. Patrols were continuing around Fox Lake.
"Today, not only did Fox Lake lose a family member — I lost a really dear friend," Fox Lake Mayor Donny Schmit said at a news conference. "Residents in here knew him as G.I. Joe, and remember him as someone deeply committed to Fox Lake," Schmit said.

Illinois State Police said several teams, including SWAT and air operations, were helping in the manhunt Tuesday night. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI were also assisting.
The suspects are described as two white men and one black man. Hundreds of police officers were involved in the manhunt Tuesday,
NBC Chicago reported. The men are believed to be armed with a pistol, Lake County sheriff's Chief Doug Larsson told the station.
In and around Fox Lake, a community of 10,000 about 60 miles north of Chicago, residents were asked to stay indoors. Police have even taken people's dogs outside to relieve …Read More

Downers Grove residents who want to consolidate plots of land could have a much easier process to get the green light from the village.
The council voted 6 to 1 last week to allow village staff to review and approve some applications to consolidate lots. Currently, village ordinance requires petitions must first be reviewed in a public hearing before the Plan Commission, then receive approval from the village council.

FFX - Lulu Throws a Tantrum Comic by Ar-KaynWatch
©2012-2017 Ar-Kayn
I've always thought Lulu would be fun to regress, considering she's always carrying around a doll for battle. I didn't expect her original design to be adapted so easily into becoming this adorable though!
Time-Lady's just some random character I made up for this.
Time-Lady's just some random character I made up for this.
Should never have counted.
At least she didn't count down from 3.
You know I never got why people stuck there fingers into their baby's diaper it just makes NO DAMN SENSE!!!
To check if its wet.
its so cute how she gets turned into a baby and gets her doll back, poor baby wet herself
This is so great, you really should do more comics!
Lulu should be greatful the girl didn't ask when Lulu said one!
cool i wanna fight here
i like the trick she did with the, how old are you 1-2-3! good job
thi is so KAWAI! I have a question..how old is lulu now? :3
This is great!
omg this pix makes me want to know more on this show!! awesome way to introduce her!
Man Arcane Time lady sure knows how to play with her guests.... I guess I kno which forest I'm avoiding
Baby Lulu is super cute almost broke my screen.
You should show her being put into a baby nursery to as part of the Time Lady's fun.
Your style is great! Lulu is adorable
Absolutely magnificent lil comic :> Adorable~
I gotta say, this is really well done. Amazing work Ar-Kayn ^^.
Lil Lulu makes such a cute goth baby. I imagine Rikku would have lots of fun with her.
Aww~ Cute wittle Lulu ^^ She should really learn to keep her temper
Great comic and I love your style ^-^
Great comic and I love your style ^-^
She is absolutely, one of the most adorable characters I have ever seen. I love your style. Please keep up the good work.
Cute.^_^ And love how she made her the age she said. Nice. XD
When I got that idea, Lulu's Adorableness went up by like 100 points, lol.
Wow, really amazing comic! Really cute! Any plans for a sequel by chance? Fine if not of course, but I see potential for sure!
Not for the time being at least. For one thing, I'm not a fan of drawing the same design again. Another reason is that I don't usually have many ideas for post-regression stuff, lol.
Not for the time being at least. For one thing, I'm not a fan of drawing the same design again. Another reason is that I don't usually have many ideas for post-regression stuff, lol.
Well I did mean the other FFX/X-2 girls. If I remember correctly, you showed interest in that idea in the past. I hope that interest still exists, although I understand that things change!
Ah, yes. Definitely! Tempting to get started on that, but I really should take a break and get back to real life, lol.
Glad to hear it. Again, I really loved this piece, and I can't wait to say more. But you are right: all things in moderation! As tempting as they are! Enjoy a break or so!

The subject invention relates generally to software development tools, and more specifically, to a system for look up control configuration.
Software vendors are continually advancing the latest in development tools for users to take advantage of software made available to consumers. Typically, such tools require some level of familiarity by developer with the tool(s) language and structure in order to use the development tool(s) and develop the appropriate interface. However, the rapid evolution in which such development frameworks are manufactured and sold impact the speed with which such tools can be understood and used to provide the software for which they are created. Developers are still left spending an inordinate amount of time learning and struggling with the development environment in order to provide a suitable product for a customer.
Many applications require values to be entered that are validated against a collection of values. To provide an intuitive user interface, the possible values are listed for the user to select from one of the values. These values are commonly referred to as "lookup" values.
Conventional development tools have supported lookup control configuration; however, there was limited design-time support. In order to enable design-time support, developer(s) configured and bound together individual elements to display a lookup style control populated with the appropriate values. This involved dragging controls to the form, setting properties, and writing the code to fill the control—which proved to be a time-intensive and tedious task.
Additionally, lookup controls are often used in a two-dimensional fashion in which, in addition to providing a selection of choices, the control can also drive the selected item with another set of properties. One set of properties is employed to populate the list; another set of properties is used to pull out the selected value. This power introduces a set of complexity that can confuse even the most sophisticated user.
The following presents a simplified summary of the subject invention in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the subject invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the subject invention. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements of the subject invention or to delineate the scope of the subject invention. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the subject invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The subject invention provides for a system and method facilitating lookup control configuration. In accordance with an aspect of the subject invention, the system incorporates the persistence of metadata required to associate a field and a display value of a lookup list, and facilitates creation of a lookup type user interface control. Thus, in one example, a user (e.g., developer) can drag a lookup control to a design surface and they system sets the relevant property(ies) on the control. The user can then run their application to see immediate results. Optionally, the user can leverage Smart tags to change the default values of property(ies) of the lookup control to different values.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the subject invention are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the subject invention may be employed and the subject invention is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Other advantages and novel features of the subject invention may become apparent from the following detailed description of the subject invention when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The subject invention is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the subject invention. It may be evident, however, that the subject invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate describing the subject invention.
As used in this application, the terms "component," "handler," "model," "system," and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers. Also, these components can execute from various computer readable media having various data structures stored thereon. The components may communicate via local and/or remote processes such as in accordance with a signal having one or more data packets (e.g., data from one component interacting with another component in a local system, distributed system, and/or across a network such as the Internet with other systems via the signal). Computer components can be stored, for example, on computer readable media including, but not limited to, an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit), CD (compact disc), DVD (digital video disk), ROM (read only memory), floppy disk, hard disk, EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read only memory) and memory stick in accordance with the subject invention.
Referring to
As discussed previously, many software applications require values to be entered that must be validated against another collection of values. To provide an intuitive user interface, the possible values are listed for the user to select from one of the values (e.g., lookup values). Lookup lists typically incorporate an ID and a Display Value. Conventionally, the application typically provides the base information for the relationship, the application typically doesn't provide the metadata required to associate these ID's and Display Values with controls that support DisplayMember and ValueMember.
In accordance with an aspect of the subject invention, the system 100 incorporates the persistence of the metadata required to associate the ID and display value of a lookup list, and facilitates creation of a lookup type user interface control (e.g., ComboBox and/or ListBox).
At design-time, the system 100 leverages information associated with an entity (e.g., data source such as a DataSet, database and/or a developer defined object) to help a user (e.g., developer) create intuitive user interface controls to allow end users the ability to select from a valid lookup value.
For example, the types of sources for lookup lists can include:
The system 100 takes advantage of relationships that may be available within an application; however, the system 100 does not depend on this information to provide a rich drag/drop experience.
The system 100 includes a control configuration component 110 and a display component 120. The control configuration component 110 obtains property information associated with a control. The property information can be based on standard property names, for example, DisplayMember and ValueMember. For example, each control can specify the appropriate properties to be employed when establishing DataBinding. Alternatively, by defining attribute(s) (e.g., LookupBindingProperties) associated with property(ies) of the entity, the control can include custom property name(s).
The control configuration component 110 further obtains information associated with the entity (e.g., DataType, database and/or object). The information can include, for example, property(ies) associated with the entity. Based, at least in part, upon the property information and the information associated with the entity 130, the control configuration component 110 generates a configured lookup control (e.g., ID, display values and metadata required to associate them). The display component 120 displays the configured lookup control generated by the configuration component.
In one example, in order to display a list of items from an external source, a lookup control requires DataSource, ValueMember, DisplayMember to display the list of items properly. Upon initial creation of the control, defaults will be set on the control:
Optionally, using Smart tags, the properties required to load the lookup control can be displayed for refinement, as discussed below.
Referring briefly to
In this example, using conventional development tools, in order to configure the first combo box 210, the DataSource, DisplayMember, ValueMember and SelectedValue were required to be set by the developer. Setting of these values is neither intuitive, nor easy for the developer to remember. Additionally, for the first combo box 210 to work, the DataSource, ValueMember and DisplayMember must be set to the object that will populate the list with the valid values. The SelectedValue gets wired up to a bound object the developer is attempting to edit. This can be very confusing to a user as the other controls use the DataSource to bind the control to the object they are editing.
To further complicate issues, not all lookup controls utilize the same property names. Control Vendors have extended the set of possible lookup controls and have used different property names as their controls have different meanings.
In accordance with an aspect of the subject invention, as discussed in greater detail below, by dragging an entity defined as a list onto a lookup control, the system 100 configures the lookup control (e.g., first combo box 210 and/or second combo box 220) with substantially no additional user input.
Turning to
The user interface 300 can present changeable properties associated with the lookup control, for example, DataSource, DisplayMember, ValueMember and/or data binding of the SelectedValue. Additionally and/or alternatively, the user interface 300 can be employed to provide a user (e.g., developer) the ability to set binding and/or lookup property(ies).
In one example, the user interface 300 is populated as follows:
Default the Value of DataSource
When the user interface 300 is displayed, the DataSource displays the value of the control. If no value is available for the DataSource property (e.g., specified by the LookupBindingAttribute.ListProperty), the user can select a DataSource (e.g., with the DataSourceUITypeEditor). For example, the DataSourceUITypeEditor can be passed the likely DataSource based on, if there are any DataManagers available in the Forms Components collection, pull the DataSource of the last DataManager added to the Form.
Setting the ValueMember
Once the DataSource is set, the system 100 can populate the list of ValueMembers. The system 100 can look for a DefaultValueMember on the DataSource. In one example, if none is found, but a Primary Key can be determined, the Primary Key can be selected as the default. For example, if there is more then one Primary Key, the selection is left blank to allow the developer to specify the ValueMembers. Additionally, if no Primary Key is available, the system 100 can select none.
Setting the DisplayMember
Once the DataSource is set, the system 100 can populate the list of DisplayMembers. The system 100 can look for a DefaultDisplayMember on the DataSource. In one example, if none is found, but a Primary Key can be determined, the system 100 can select the first property of type string that isn't a Primary Key. If no primary keys are found, and no values of type string, the system 100 can default to the first string in the list. If no string properties are available, the system 100 can default to the first object in the list and let the run-time environment cast to string on the object.
Setting the SelectedValue
In one example, the specific property is specified by the LookupBindingAttribute.LookupMember. If the control already has DataBinding set to the value specified in the DefaultBindingPropertyAttribute.Name, the system 100 moves this value to the value specified by LookupBindingAttribute.LookupMember. For a ComboBox, the system 100 moves the value specified in the Text property to the SelectedValue property.
In one example, if the control doesn't have any previous DataBinding values, the system 100 leaves SelectedValue blank. The user can then select a specific bindable property with the UITypeEditor.
Checkbox to Save as Defaults
Selection of the "save as defaults" causes the system 100 to store the values in the designer file associated with the object selected in the DataSource. In one example, for DataSets, the system 100 can store the metadata in an associated designer file. Additionally, for Business Objects, the system 100 can store the values in its associated metadata file.
Referring to
In one example, in order to properly configure a lookup controls such as ComboBox, the system 100 needs information from the DataSource to set the DisplayMember and ValueMember (e.g., determined by the LookupBindingAttribute.) Typically, the Control.DataSource can be inferred by gesture(s) the developer took when establishing the lookup such as Drag/Drop and/or by reading the relations of the underlying DataSet.
Setting the DefaultDisplayMember and DefaultValueMember
In this example, for a particular DataSource, a user (e.g., developer) can save metadata indicating which properties represent ValueMember and DisplayMember (e.g., the DefaultDisplayMember and DefaultValueMember in the associated designer). For example:
String -
Used as the Default
MetaData -
DisplayMember when a
no runtime
lists the
is set to this instance
String -
Used as the Default
MetaData -
ValueMember when a
no runtime
lists all
is set to this instance
In this example, the developer can set these values directly in the specific DataSource Designer, Business Object DataSource Designer and/or Web Service DataSource Designer. As discussed previously, the user (e.g., developer) can also set/modify these values with the user interface 300.
It is to be appreciated that the system 100, the control configuration component 110 and/or the display component 120 can be computer components as that term is defined herein.
Turning briefly to
The subject invention may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, executed by one or more components. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Typically the functionality of the program modules may be combined or distributed as desired in various embodiments.
Referring to
At 530, a configured lookup control is generated based, at least in part, upon the property information and the information obtained from the entity. At 540, the configured lookup control is displayed (e.g., to a developer). At 550, the configured lookup control is modified based on user (e.g., developer) input.
In order to provide additional context for various aspects of the subject invention,
With reference to
The system bus 618 can be any of several types of bus structure(s) including the memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus or external bus, and/or a local bus using any variety of available bus architectures including, but not limited to, an 8-bit bus, Industrial Standard Architecture (ISA), Micro-Channel Architecture (MSA), Extended ISA (EISA), Intelligent Drive Electronics (IDE), VESA Local Bus (VLB), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), Universal Serial Bus (USB), Advanced Graphics Port (AGP), Personal Computer Memory Card International Association bus (PCMCIA), and Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI).
The system memory 616 includes volatile memory 620 and nonvolatile memory 622. The basic input/output system (BIOS), containing the basic routines to transfer information between elements within the computer 612, such as during start-up, is stored in nonvolatile memory 622. By way of illustration, and not limitation, nonvolatile memory 622 can include read only memory (ROM), programmable ROM (PROM), electrically programmable ROM (EPROM), electrically erasable ROM (EEPROM), or flash memory. Volatile memory 620 includes random access memory (RAM), which acts as external cache memory. By way of illustration and not limitation, RAM is available in many forms such as synchronous RAM (SRAM), dynamic RAM (DRAM), synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), double data rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM), enhanced SDRAM (ESDRAM), Synchlink DRAM (SLDRAM), and direct Rambus RAM (DRRAM).
Computer 612 also includes removable/nonremovable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media.
It is to be appreciated that
A user enters commands or information into the computer 612 through input device(s) 636. Input devices 636 include, but are not limited to, a pointing device such as a mouse, trackball, stylus, touch pad, keyboard, microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, TV tuner card, digital camera, digital video camera, web camera, and the like. These and other input devices connect to the processing unit 614 through the system bus 618 via interface port(s) 638. Interface port(s) 638 include, for example, a serial port, a parallel port, a game port, and a universal serial bus (USB). Output device(s) 640 use some of the same type of ports as input device(s) 636. Thus, for example, a USB port may be used to provide input to computer 612, and to output information from computer 612 to an output device 640. Output adapter 642 is provided to illustrate that there are some output devices 640 like monitors, speakers, and printers among other output devices 640 that require special adapters. The output adapters 642 include, by way of illustration and not limitation, video and sound cards that provide a means of connection between the output device 640 and the system bus 618. It should be noted that other devices and/or systems of devices provide both input and output capabilities such as remote computer(s) 644.
Computer 612 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as remote computer(s) 644. The remote computer(s) 644 can be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a workstation, a microprocessor based appliance, a peer device or other common network node and the like, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to computer 612. For purposes of brevity, only a memory storage device 646 is illustrated with remote computer(s) 644. Remote computer(s) 644 is logically connected to computer 612 through a network interface 648 and then physically connected via communication connection 650. Network interface 648 encompasses communication networks such as local-area networks (LAN) and wide-area networks (WAN). LAN technologies include Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Copper Distributed Data Interface (CDDI), Ethernet/IEEE 802.3, Token Ring/IEEE 802.5 and the like. WAN technologies include, but are not limited to, point-to-point links, circuit switching networks like Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN) and variations thereon, packet switching networks, and Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL).
Communication connection(s) 650 refers to the hardware/software employed to connect the network interface 648 to the bus 618. While communication connection 650 is shown for illustrative clarity inside computer 612, it can also be external to computer 612. The hardware/software necessary for connection to the network interface 648 includes, for exemplary purposes only, internal and external technologies such as, modems including regular telephone grade modems, cable modems and DSL modems, ISDN adapters, and Ethernet cards.
What has been described above includes examples of the subject invention. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the subject invention, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the subject invention are possible. Accordingly, the subject invention is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the term "includes" is used in either the detailed description or the claims, such term is intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "comprising" as "comprising" is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.

Education funding in Gov. Bill Walker's proposed budget remains relatively flat for the upcoming fiscal year.
And even though big cuts to education are not yet proposed, districts are finding ways to cope with funding that doesn't necessarily keep up with the natural year-to-year rises in costs.
"We feel fortunate moving into this year that it isn't any worse," Dr. Deena Paramo, superintendent of the Anchorage School District, said.
If the Governor's proposed education budget of more than $1.27 billion in unrestricted and designated general funds makes it through the Alaska Legislature, ASD would receive about $330 million.
And Paramo said the district is anticipating more of the same for the next few years.
"We're looking at creating budgets that are scalable, so that we understand exactly where every dollar goes," Paramo said.
While the governor has not called for education cuts next year, the near-stagnant level of funding does not keep up with districts' annual cost increases — including the cost of living, salaries and the replacement of books and instructional material.
Jim Anderson, ASD's chief financial officer, said that will create a deficit for the district.
"Right now we predict that shortfall, if it were to operate in accordance with the governor's proposed budget, would be somewhere between $13-15 million," Anderson said. "And that would be some shortfall in the transportation arena for our buses, and that would be roughly $1.5+ million and the remainder would be out of general fund."
Anderson said that shortfall comes as the district grapples with a nearly $11 million deficit produced last summer, when bond debt reimbursement funding was slashed from the state budget at the 11th hour.
"We have already paid down $4 million of that shortfall, and we're working with the school board for authorization to look internally to be able to fund the rest through the remainder of this year," Anderson said.
The remaining funds from this year are expected to come out of ASD's emergency savings account.
Despite looming budget issue for both the state and district, Superintendent Paramo remains optimistic.
"When moms and dads come home and take a hit at work or some kind of reduction or furlough, they don't decide to be worse parents because they're making less money, that's ridiculous," Paramo said. "We are not gonna be less of a school district because of this crisis; we are gonna push through the crisis and continue to focus on kids."
The Anchorage School Board has listed five priorities for the legislative session: the Base Student Allocation Formula, Bond Debt Reimbursement, student transportation, the importance of maintaining pre-kindergarten programs, adequate funding — and discussing exactly what "adequate" means.

The assuming
of a loan is not nearly as simple as it once was.
But with the use of a wrap around mortgage all inclusive deed of trust you can
still assume the unassumable loan. You see, until relatively recently, almost any loan was assumable by almost anyone
under any circumstances. whether formal
assumptions, "subject to" assumptions, etc...However,
due to a number of court decisions, this is no longer the case.
Acceleration and alienation clauses that are, and had been contained in
most loan documents, are now, in almost every case, enforceable.
These clauses stipulate that if the seller transfers any portion of his
ownership of the property to another, unless the lender specifically allows the
loan to be assumed by the buyer, the entire balance of the loan becomes
immediately due and payable.
So, what it amounts to is that loans
are still assumable, but only if the lender allows it.
The lender will allow a loan to be assumed only if the purchaser meets
the lenders credit criteria. In
most cases, the lender's criteria is precisely the same as if the buyer were
applying for a new loan and to top it off, even if the lender allows the
assumption, chances are, they will charge a higher interest rate than the
existing rate, plus, an exceptionally high assumption fee; $500 or more. There is really no benefit for you or the buyer in assuming a
loan under these circumstances. So,
the question is, how do you get around these
acceleration and alienation clauses?
There is a type of loan that is sometimes called a
"wrap around" mortgage or an "all inclusive" deed of trust.
This loan provides an effective way of circumventing those pesky clauses.
Although, in actual practice the wrap around mortgage is
simple to use, the theory can be somewhat difficult to grasp.
If after this explanation you have any questions, call a local escrow
company or Realtor
See Castro Realty . They will be
more than happy to explain it to your satisfaction. Here's how it works...
Get all the pertinent information on the
loan you would like to assume i.e. payments, loan balance, due date, interest
rate, etc.
2) You then execute a wrap around mortgage in
favor of the seller at exactly the same terms of the loan that you are
"wrapping" (assuming).
You then handle the rest of the
transaction as if you had simply assumed that unassumable loan.
Any escrow company can create the wrap around
document for you or you can get a pre-printed form that makes it so simple, that
you can basically just fill in the blanks.
What the wrap around mortgage accomplishes, is that you
now make the loan payments directly to the seller not the existing lender.
The seller then makes the payments to the lender.
If the lender received a payment from you, he might be tipped off that
the property had been sold and the loan might be called due.
In actuality, if the lender discovered that the property had been sold
and that you were the new owner, if the payments had
been made in a timely manner, the chances are small that the lender would call
the loan due. However, it is almost certain that the lender would
increase the interest rate and require the assumption fee we alluded to earlier.
Consequently, you are better off by not letting the lender know that you
now own the property.
(As a result of full disclosure laws, in some
states, escrow companies will no longer handle transactions with wrap around
mortgages. These disclosure laws
require escrow companies to disclose to all parties that have any interest in
any transaction in which they are handling the escrow, any information that may
be pertinent to that interest. What
this means is that if your reason for the wrap around was to assume a loan
without informing the lender, the escrow company would be required, by law, to
make the lender aware of that fact. That,
of course, defeats the whole purpose of your "wrapping" the loan.)
I'm a firm believer that if I pose a problem I
should offer a solution. Here
it is... The main reason for using
the title and escrow company is to be certain that when you buy that property,
you know without doubt that it has no undisclosed liens, bonds, or assessments,
and to be certain that the seller actually owns it. Why not just go ahead and
open the escrow and have the preliminary title report issued? At this point there is usually no charge, since normally
title and escrow fees are charged only if the escrow closes.
You now have the title report in your hands.
You have all the information you need regarding existing liens and
confirmation of legal ownership. So,
what now? Cancel the escrow.
You probably do not need title insurance since the title report gives
you all the pertinent title information and with a few phone calls, you can
probably find a real estate agent
or Paralegal
who will handle the escrow details, including the wrap and Grant Deed for a fee less
than what the escrow would have charged.
Another problem with a wrap around mortgage or all inclusive deed of trust, is "How do you know that the seller is actually making the payments, and not just pocketing your money"? If that were to happen, the lender would foreclose and you would lose your property. The way to avoid this is to have a bank account set up in the seller's name, which requires both seller's and buyer's signatures to withdraw funds, and stipulates that any money deposited into the account is automatically paid by the bank to the lender. You make the payment to the bank, the bank makes the payment to the lender, you have eliminated the above mentioned problem and "assumed" the nonassumable loan. Next Chapter

text: Kansas, so sparsely populated in parts that five counties have no doctors at all, has struggled for years to encourage young doctors to relocate to rural communities, where health problems are often exacerbated by a lack of even the most basic care. On Friday, a new medical school campus opened here to provide a novel solution to the persistent problem: an inaugural class of eight aspiring doctors who will receive all their training in exactly the kind of small community where officials hope they will remain to practice medicine. The new school, operated by the University of Kansas, is billed as the smallest in the nation to offer a full four-year medical education. More important, supporters say, the students will remain personally and professionally rooted in the agricultural center of the state -- a three-hour drive from the university's state-of-the-art medical and research facilities in Kansas City.

PHOENIX (AP) Chicago forward Taj Gibson was sidelined Wednesday night for the Bulls' game against the Phoenix Suns with a right ankle injury.
A Bulls spokesman said Gibson was injured Monday during a practice. However, he did play in Tuesday night's 98-91 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers and had 16 points, 12 rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals.
Gibson was replaced in the starting lineup by Ronnie Brewer.

Be a Triple Black Diamond Travel Agent!
I love to ski and it's a sport that I have every expectation of continuing into my 80s. I actually started at around age 3, and while I have had a few long gaps, I now ski every year. Last month I enjoyed a weekend of skiing in Colorado with some supplier friends and two of my coworkers. As your "Sales Coach" I am always looking for lessons to be learned from various sports and games and I found a few good ones during this trip.
Skiing is not an easy sport to learn as an adult. Maybe it is not easy as a kid either, but kids seem to be like a combination of rubber and sponge—they bounce up and soak up some more experience. Like many sports there are varying degrees of expertise, as well as some quite different styles. My coworkers were interested in improving, so they asked me for some tips and suggestions and we worked on techniques throughout the two days.
To improve in a sport or business there are a few common steps to success. First, ask for help from someone with experience. While mentoring has grown in acceptance in companies over the last few years, it is still underutilized. If you want to be an expert travel professional, then find someone who is currently successful and ask for guidance. I think it is obnoxious to provide advice on the slopes if not asked for, but when my coworkers asked for help I loved the opportunity to teach them. It is the same in business – but you have to ask first!
If you are open to instruction, then it is also important to set your goals. In skiing there are ratings that are given to each ski run as to the difficulty. Green Square is usually the easiest way down, then Blue Triangle for intermediate level skiers and the most difficult is Black Diamond. Within each category there are levels, too, leading up to the Triple Black Diamond. The beauty of downhill skiing is that you can set your goals easily by setting what type of run you eventually want to conquer. For my two students, the conquering of a Black Diamond was a top priority!
Now while there is certainly skill needed to make it down a Black Diamond, the overriding factor that is required is confidence. And so it is in business. After you determine what your goal is, you must build up the confidence and courage to see yourself achieving your goal. So the question is, how do you create confidence? In skiing, like selling travel, it comes back to the basics. All beginning skiers start on the bunny slopes, not setting out to master them, but to gain the confidence to move on to other parts of the mountain.
The key is to keep the basics in play no matter what the hill looks like. In selling travel it is the same situation. If you learn the basic steps to sales, then you have the confidence to sell up, sell in difficult times or sell to difficult people. The slope could be ridiculously steep (a high-priced product), full of trees (multiple objections to overcome) or have moguls as big as Volkswagen beetles (customers who are quite demanding). In some cases the hill has all three of those and more, but with confidence you can survive!
Of course, most skiers don't want to just survive, they want to enjoy the experience and make it look easy. So, there are really two goals in skiing that go hand in hand. First is the confidence to try the Black Diamond, but the second is the way in which you made it down. And so it is in sales. You can just go for the big sales or you can work on your technique so that as circumstances change your basic style and approach does not. In other words keep going back to the bunny slopes and get to the point that your style is perfection personified, then start to move up the ladder to harder slopes while keeping the basics in play!
As a final word, remember that no matter how long you may have been doing something, you can still have your confidence shaken. Even the top skiers in the world occasionally fall or struggle to look graceful. You will have those days in sales, too, so just push yourself back up, shake the snow out of your ears, and go back to the basics. Soon Black Diamonds will become where you practice your skills so that you triumphantly ski the Triple Black Diamonds!

If hub scores are an important thing for you to manage, then commenting on comments is important for that reason.
Feed back and etiqutte demand the hubber stay in touch, to understand another writers heart. We reach so deeply at times within ourselves, that it is rare to find another who 'gets' our need to write. Comments, well, they help feed our brother and sister authors' need, just as the word to page feeds our passion.
What is a comment anyway? Possibly what it is isn't as important as what it does. And that may well be what keeps all of us coming back and sharing our words to begin with.
~always choose love~
I don't understand that either. Some on here just write and write and write and pay no attention to what folks think of their hubs. I refuse to read anything by someone that aloof! Peace!!
It is good writer's etiquette to comment back on someone's comment to your hub. They bothered to read and comment, we should acknowledge them.
good question, i really need to do that more, the thing is I never develop the habit of commenting, I just simply write what I know and feel and thats it..
I try my best to read most of the days when I am not writing. However, when those days come, I am forced to write because it is something I enjoy and can't keep away from doing. I try to comment as much as possible, but normally it would be on short to medium articles. As we speak, I am fixing my schedule to where I will be able to read and comment more than I am now.
I highly believe that you should comment back to your comments. That's if you are serious about what you are writing about.
It also helps to build relationships and this creates potential clients, prospects and buyers.
People prefer to buy off who they like. We all do. Knowbody like to go to a shop with grumbly people do they? They may be cheaper, but most would prefer to pay a little more with great service.
I know I do!
So it's truly the same, answer your comments and grow a following of people who like you!

The Auction House (3 x 60′) – Nestled in the heart of Chelsea is Lots Road Auctions, an Aladdin's cave of magnificent artefacts both old and new. This observational documentary series provides a unique glimpse into this extraordinary institution and reveals why it's a magnet for eccentric home-owners, antiques buffs, and obsessive collectors alike.
It follows dynamic boss Roger and his loyal staff as they strive to meet the sophisticated tastes and financial fortunes of the super-rich, and we'll see the team decipher the sentimental from the significant and tell apart the privileged from the timewasters.
Upstairs at Lots Road is the antiques section and the prices fetched by brown Victorian furniture are in freefall, whereas the 'Modern' downstairs auction is considered to be a little less elegant perhaps and is decidedly more lucrative. The auction house faces a daily struggle to embrace change and exploit new markets whilst trying to turn a profit at the same time.
Throughout the series, viewers will get to meet the obsessive collectors in pursuit of the perfect deal such as the family of self-professed bargain addicts who love the thrill of the hunt. They'll also get to go behind the closed doors of London's most lavish homes including a mansion owned by a millionaire in search of decorative items to create the interior of his dreams – creating the ultimate fly on the wall experience.
With socialite shopping sprees, corporate culture clashes, and high-risk hunches, no two days are the same at Lots Road as we delve into the fascinating world of auction. And as we all know, timing is everything as without an eager buyer, yesterday's treasure could be today's trash

International Women's Day 2017 is here! First celebrated in 1909 the day has taken on several incarnations over the years, today advocating the need for greater gender equality and inclusivity. Every year has a theme, this year's being #beboldforchange.
Here at The Vintage Notebook I like to use the day to spotlight an organisation or business which improves women's lives in some way. A few examples of previous years can be found here and here. This year I was inspired by a photograph from the now famous series 'Country Doctor' by Eugene Smith, first published in Life magazine in 1948. It focused on the work of Dr Ceriani, a rural practitioner from Colorado, whose patients numbered 2000 and who single-handedly served an area of 400 square-miles.
Smith's photographs are full of humanity. Dr. Ceriani's hound dog expressions of concern are compelling in the extreme, as are the myriad emotional states of his patients. I would urge you to take a few moments out to look through the archive. Towards the end of the series are several photographs which failed to make the cut to publication. The picture below is one and remains my favourite.
The caption merely reads 'Dr Ceriani with a patient'. I know nothing of this woman beyond what is evident superficially; she appears to be in her seventies or even eighties. She is thin and her hands look like they have worked hard for many years. She seems to be telling the doctor her ailment, perhaps a back or chest pain judging by her gesture. Her face is full of character, with a beaky nose, drawn cheeks and slightly overhanging jaw, perhaps symptomatic of a few missing teeth. She has the physicality of a woman who has lived a hard and long life on the inclement, treeless flats of Kremmling Colorado. In addition to this however she is wearing a smart black dress with white lace colour. A jaunty and pristine little topper hat with bunches of berries on the front, sits atop white hair, neatly brushed and pinned up. I find the fact that this woman travelled many miles in her little fancy hat to see the doctor heartbreakingly sweet. She doesn't strike me as the sort of woman to bother an incredibly overworked general practitioner unless there was something genuinely wrong with her and I hope that as she made her way home on her little sinewy legs, perhaps holding her hat against the wind, she had received some relief from Dr Ceriani.
I am always intrigued and drawn to the unknown realities of the women forgotten to history. This woman, who at a rough estimate would have been born in 1878, lived through a fascinating period of American history, not to mention two World Wars. Her thoughts, her experiences, heck, even her illness is unknown to us. She is merely known to the historical record as 'a patient'.
This year, in part to celebrate the work of Dr Ceriani and the life of his unknown patient, and partly because this year it feels like they need our help more than ever, I'm donating to Planned Parenthood. I feel beyond fortunate to live in a county with a National Health Service, which has helped my sisters to have babies and me not to. These are our choices. They are valid. They should be supported, protected and defended. Because like Dr Ceriani, walking many miles a day to his patients, there should be 'Care, no matter what'.

Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In clinical trials for the prevention of nausea and vomiting induced by moderately emetogenic chemotherapy, 693 adult patients received oral palonosetron in doses ranging from 0.25 mg to 0.75 mg. Following is a listing of drug related adverse reactions reported by ≥ 2% of patients from two clinical trials.

|6 (3.7%)
|21 (5.6%)
|14 (8.6%)
|1 (0.6%)
|1 (0.6%)
|9 (2.4%)
|5 (3.1%)
The infrequently reported adverse reactions listed below, assessed by investigators as treatment-related or causality unknown/missing, occurred following administration of ALOXI (palonosetron hcl capsules) Capsules to adult patients receiving concomitant cancer chemotherapy. Of these adverse events, fatigue (incidence 1%), was the only adverse event reported at an incidence of ≥ 1%. In general, adverse reactions were similar between oral and I.V. formulations.
Blood and Lymphatic System: <1%: anemia.
Cardiovascular: <1%: hypertension, transient arrhythmia, first degree atrioventricular block, second degree atrioventricular block, QTc prolongation.

Bianchi: Te'o lies would be better than the alternative truth
Fri., Jan. 18, 2013
ORLANDO, Fla. – Let's all hope Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o is lying.
Let's hope he totally concocted the inspirational story of overcoming the death of his make-believe dead girlfriend in order to garner favorable publicity and pump up his chances of winning the Heisman Trophy.
As troubling as this monumental lie would be, it beats the pathetically alternative truth: That Te'o was somehow duped by some Internet scammer into carrying on a three-year relationship with a woman he never personally met and never existed.
This is the tall tale Te'o wants us to believe, but it's the story I don't want to believe. I would rather Te'o be a massive liar and fraud than a symbol of the valueless, virtual world we live in today. A world where it seems entirely possible to carry on a cyberspacial love affair with someone you've never seen, touched, kissed or hugged.
Believe it or not, this stuff happens all the time. In fact, I've got a buddy who carried on an online relationship with a woman in another state. She would text him photos of herself in which she looked like a bikini model. He wanted to fly up to her hometown and meet her in person, but she kept making excuses as to why they couldn't rendezvous. He got suspicious, started doing some investigating and found out she'd filed for bankruptcy a couple of times and was using a fake name. And she was no bikini model. A background check revealed her to be 5-foot-3, 210 pounds.
There's an entire Internet phenomenon known as "Catfishing" (named after a movie documentary and an MTV show based on it) in which computer-savvy weirdos pull off elaborate hoaxes to lure their "victims" into online relationships. Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick referenced the practice in his vehement defense of Te'o on Wednesday night.
"I would refer all of you, if you're not already familiar with it, with both the documentary called "Catfish," the MTV show which is a derivative, and the sort of associated things you'll find online and otherwise about catfish, or catfishing," Swarbrick said.
Sadly, this is the bogus new world we live in – a counterfeit electronic world where the trivial becomes important and the important becomes trivial. NFL linebacker Ray Lewis is revered today even though he was once accused of killing two real people. College linebacker Manti Te'o is reviled today for falling in love with a fake girlfriend.
It's all part of the computerized depersonalization of America, where we don't even know the name of our next-door neighbor, but we carry on endless Twitter conversations with some stranger in Scranton.
I went to the doctor's office the other day, and there were six people in the waiting room and none of us said a word to each other. We were all on our smart phones, tapping and typing and tweeting and texting.
On Thanksgiving Day, a bunch of the kids at the house were playing "tag." Except there was one problem: They were playing it on their iPad.
Attendance at college booster club meetings is way, way down, and you want to know why? Because instead of getting out an interacting with one another face to face, more and more fans sit at home and post nasty anonymous messages on Fire-the-Coach.com websites.
And we in the media are certainly not immune either. Reporters today, it seems, spend more and more time tweeting out meaningless 140-character dispatches on Twitter and less and less time embarking on meaningful issues and substantial investigative journalism. Hard news has given way to soft porn. Many media outlets, in an effort to get the cheap, easy clicks, often run photo galleries of scantily clad cheerleaders and provocative dancing girls.
"I have the theory that news is now driven not by editors who know anything," comedian and political pundit Bill Maher said not long ago. "I think it's driven by people who are slacking off at work and surfing the Internet. It's like a country run by 'America's Funniest Home Videos.' "
It should be noted that Notre Dame held an expansive news conference earlier this week to talk about the purported death of Lennay Kekau – the make-believe girlfriend of a star football player. But in 2010, the school stood silent when Lizzy Seeberg, a living, breathing college freshman, committed suicide after accusing a Notre Dame football player of sexual assault.
As Notre Dame grad Melinda Henneberger wrote in the Washington Post: "My alma mater held an emotional press conference for a fake dead girl, but none for a real one."
Sadly, this is the vapid, virtual world we now live in.

Nigel Harris highlights some of the problems that can occur with cross-border VAT issues when filing online.
The standardisation of the VAT treatment of cross-border business-to-business supplies of services from 1 January 2010 has thrown up some misunderstandings among businesses and their advisers, including some accounting software providers.
Generally, such supplies are treated as being made in the customer's country, and are therefore outside of the scope of UK VAT. There are now only limited exceptions to this rule, for example:
- Land-related services
- Passenger transport
- Entry to events
- Restaurant services and catering
- Short-term hire of a means of transport.
In theory such supplies do not belong on the supplier's UK VAT return, b...

|"Tart N Peppa", a blend of raspberry, lemon, dark chocolate, almonds, & black pepper. My favorite flavor!
I am a huge Top Chef fan. I actually own most of the seasons, and I put the show on whenever I'm working at home. Something about the sounds of passionate chefs facing ridiculous challenges in the background of my tiny place helps me stay focused on my work.
Recently, I've made Chef Dakota Weiss from Season 9 (Texas) something of a pen pal. From Hollywood to Louisville, KY, we've been in contact a few times. When I first saw her name in my inbox, I squeaked. Out loud. Don't judge me.
Anyway, she's really cool and extremely talented. Recently, she opened a gourmet popcorn business called "Dakota's Pop Parlor". When I get to a certain number of fans on my Facebook fan page, I'm going to give away some of her popcorn to a lucky liker. In the meantime, Dakota sent me some samples to, well... sample. :)
LOTS of samples. Opening the box was like Christmas morning, complete with polka-dotted tissue paper. (!)
That beautiful lady sent me a sample of each flavor, 13 in all. The combinations inside each bag were whimsical, fun, and intriguing. This popcorn is art.
I had a mini party this weekend with some close foodie friends so that we could sample Dakota's work. We were all truly impressed.
Someone with a sweet tooth will be more inclined to love every flavor because they are ALL sweet, even the savory ones like "Curried Pig" and "Sunday Supper". Everyone had different tastes, of course, but each of us LOVED "Candy Crushin", which simply sang with notes of orange and ginger. It was the group favorite.
Below are the flavors. My ABSOLUTE favorites are "Buzzed Nanuts" and "Tart N Peppa". The former is an incredible combination of espresso, chocolate, banana, and hazelnuts. It is the perfect sweet treat. The latter was a total surprise - initially, I just wasn't sure about the combination of lemon and raspberry with black pepper, but this popcorn is a dynamite powerhouse of flavor. The fruit flavors are perfectly sweet and impeccably balanced with the subtle bitterness of the dark chocolate and the savory bite from the pepper. "Tart N Peppa" is flat out addicting and AMAZING.
But those are MY favorites! Scroll down to discover what your own faves might be. :)
The Flavors:
(* = my favorites)
Curried Pig
Madras Curry Toffee, Smoked Pistachio, & Bacon
Perk N Pop!*
Espresso Toffee, Toasted Coconut, & Macadamia Nuts
Malt in Your Mouth
Chocolate Malt Toffee, Maraschino Cherries, & Candied Jalapeno
