Mercedes-Benz Actros
Welcome to a new Dimension
The Actros. It's a game changer.
Staying ahead of the game, and your competition, requires a vehicle that will do the same. The Actros delivers just this with a diverse model range that offers a vehicle configuration for just about any application in long distance transport!
Many years of intense work, engineering design and rigourous testing ensures that the result is a truck that puts everything that has gone before it, in the shade. Designed without compromise the Actros covers every possible opportunity to improve long distance trucking.
The Mercedes-Benz Actros has been leading the field by offering a combination of attributes which make a real difference to your business. From its unsurpassed fuel economy and outstanding reliability to unrivalled levels of comfort, it is easy to see why countless fleets rely on the Actros everyday.
With a cab available as an optimum answer for virtually all demands relating to space, equipment and comfort the Actros model range is better tailored to operating profiles.
Offering a total of five roof shapes, two widths and various cab heights the eleven cab variants for the Mercedes-Benz Actros creates the ideal basis for drivers to perform outstandingly in long-distance transport.
Available in four ratings from 310 kW (420 ps) to 375 kW (510 ps), the new Actros delivers outstanding fuel savings of up to 7% at Euro V (compared to their already frugal predecessors). Just one of the impressive credentials of the OM471 12.8 l in-line engines, this impressive figure can be attributed to the X-Pulse common-rail high-pressure injection system which injects fuel into the cylinders at up to 2,500 bar. Engines are available in three different emission levels – Euro V, EEV or Euro VI.
In addition to saving on fuel, the new truck engines will save in other areas with reduced AdBlue consumption (up to 40% reduction with Euro VI), reduced maintenance costs, and increased design life.
Available with a dropped beam and ventilated disc brakes, the range of front axles on the new Actros can be specified to suit long distance applications precisely.
Axle ratings of 7.5t, 8.0t and 9.0t are available depending on model, with a range of leading and trailing axles to suit different applications.
Light, economical and reliable – the range of Hypoid rear axles on new Actros offer not just reliable power transmission, but also a very wide range of closely spaced ratio choices, to allow the most economical driveline for your operation.
Equipped with a differential lock as standard, along with ventilated disc brakes and an oil temperature sensor for the maintenance system, the range of rear axles offer ratings of up to 13t.
The chart above shows the standard Axle configurations initially available on new Actros. As well as being available in both left and right hand drive, many of these configurations are available in different variants:
In addition, our Custom Tailored Trucks (CTT) service can provide vehicles to special order in an even wider range of configurations to suit your application precisely.
Designed without compromise for long distance transport applications, the new frame is wider and stiffer to provide improved roadholding and a better ride. The complete hole pattern, spaced at 50 mm intervals, makes for fast easy fitment of bodies and other equipment.
In addition, the new Actros provides an enlarged range of wheelbases and overhangs as well as free choice in positioning of rear cross members.
Standard fitment across the new Actros range is a newly developed 4-bag rear air suspension system, offering improved roll control and handling on rough roads. In addition, many models are available with front air suspension, for the ultimate in ride comfort and chassis height control.
The new rear axle guide, standard on 4×2 vehicles, offers even better roadholding and steering precision due to the wider spread mounting points.
New Actros offers a wide range of fuel tank sizes across the range in four different profiles to suit the vehicle and its application. Wide tanks are available for maximum fuel capacity, with narrower tanks on offer to allow fitment of side skirts for aerodynamic improvements. A choice of AdBlue tank sizes is also available on certain models, both as separate tanks and as combined fuel and AdBlue tanks.
Fuel capacity of up to 1300 L is available from the factory on 4×2 tractors, with an array of combinations making it easy to specify the layout you require.
The Electropneumatic Brake System (EPB), incorporating Anti-lock braking (ABS) and Anti-slip regulation (ASR) is standard across all new Actros models. Controlling the brake system electronically and braking each wheel individually (making the most of available grip and minimising stopping distances), EPB integrates secondary braking, whether Engine Brake or Retarder, to improve safety and reduce wear.
In the event of a hard brake application, the system automatically switches on the hazard warning lights to warn following traffic, providing vital extra seconds to assist in preventing multi-vehicle accidents.
Standard across all new Actros models, the engine brake uses the engine as a compressor to provide wear-free retardation and helps to improve safety whilst reducing wear. This is available to the driver in three stages, controlled by the steering column stalk to give full control of the braking power as required. The standard system offers up to 300 kW of braking power.
In addition, a high performance engine brake can be specified, offering up to 400 kW of braking power (depending on vehicle specification) thus providing more opportunity to keep the service brakes fresh.
Available as an option, the secondary water retarder is a wear and maintenance-free auxiliary brake that can be used to perform up to 85% of all braking operations. The retarder uses the water of the engine cooling circuit, which means that there is no need for an additional oil circuit with oil cooler. The heat produced by the system is dissipated via the engine cooling system, whereby the cooling temperature is permanently monitored.
The secondary water retarder offers a high braking torque in combination with a compact, weight-saving design, around 20 kg lighter than previous oil retarders. The braking power of the retarder is also independent of selected gear or current engine speed. A gear change does not result in any interruption in the retarder braking action and the retarder braking power depends only on the current driving speed.
The braking power can be controlled precisely in five stages using the right-hand control stalk on the steering column, and combines with the standard engine brake to provide a maximum braking torque of up to 3,560 Nm.
Standard across the new Actros range, the Mercedes-Benz PowerShift 3 12-speed automated transmission immediately and efficiently transmits the requested power to the rear axle through precise gear selection and fast gearshifts. The technology constantly measures the conditions surrounding the truck – from the inclination of the road and accelerator position to the combined weight of the vehicle – and takes these into account when selecting a gear. If a situation demands it, the driver has the option of intervening manually.
The controls for PowerShift 3 fall easily to hand and are located on the right hand steering column stalk along with Engine Brake and Retarder thus leaving the cross cab access free. The controls are simple to use – with a rotary switch to select direction, simply push or pull the lever to manually shift gear.
EcoRoll and Creep mode are engaged automatically, but are easily and quickly switched off should conditions demand it.
The gearbox offers a choice of two modes in every case – an Economy mode to make the best use of fuel, and a mode to provide a more dynamic drive. On request, a Power mode is available, for high weight operations. A Creep mode is available with PowerShift 3, providing incredible control at very low speeds.
The innovative interior of the new Actros has been specifically designed to make a driver's working day easier. Because a more relaxed driver is a safer driver. Each unique in-cab feature has been specifically designed to provide optimum comfort for working, living and sleeping.
The multi-function key adds to the functions of the remote control key with many features that aid driver comfort, convenience and safety. Recharging itself whenever the vehicle is driving, the rugged key displays through a 4.6 cm TFT display, and offers remote control and monitoring of many systems at a range of up to 30 m. A few examples include:
All of the seats in the Actros have been completely redeveloped for optimum driver comfort, with a 40 mm wider seat, increased adjustment range and a wide range of finishes available. The standard Comfort seat with Velour cover in our Long Distance Cabs is impressively comfortable, and Leather or Dinamica Star covers are optionally available. In addition to options such as a heated and ventilated seat, the new Actros also offers an optional Massage function seat.
The new Actros offers more interior space than ever before, not just for living and working, but for storage too. All cabs cover the necessities for long distance transport – space above the windscreen, below the dashboard, under the bed and in many pockets and trays around the cab allowing everything to be put in its place. With the StreamSpace cab (pictured), space need not compromise economy, offering the optimum solution for driver and operator alike.
The beds in the Actros are completely new, and offer a 110 mm thick cold foam mattress as standard, with optional PremiumComfort memory foam mattress. The standard bottom beds are a full 750 mm wide regardless of the cab chosen, and are 2000 mm or 2200 mm long depending on cab width. All bottom beds have an adjustable backrest to make the midnight reader more comfortable.

Forest Bathing: how nature can improve your quality of life 🌲
Life can be stressful and everybody needs to relax and pamper. Nature can totally be a loophole to escape problems. Indeed, researchers in Japan and South Korea have demonstrated that simply being surrounded by nature may improve your general health, by both reducing the feelings of stress and its impact on our body (cortisol, high blood pressure, energy) and minds (mood, sleep, focus). During the 1980s, forest therapy (named Shinrin-yoku) was developed in Japan and now the concept is spreading throughout the world.
The idea of forest bathing is that by spending quality time with nature, you can increase your mental and physical well-being. Of course, if you live in the city, it won't be an easy task to incorporate aspects of forest bathing into your day, especially knowing that the recommended timing is 2-4 hours per session! But even if you manage to organize a longer nature chilling session one day per week, you can receive some health benefits.
How to do it?
Find a quiet place to settle yourself in the middle of nature (it might be in the forest, in a sprawling field, next to a river or even in the quiet corner of a park).
Obviously, pack away any distracting device (phone, camera, etc). Sit, take off your shoes, and breathe. The connection of your feet to the earth are really important to ground and connect.
Try to connect with nature with your five senses, one at a time by feeling, listening and touching the environment around you (listen to the tall grasses moving, the birds chirping, touch the grass, feel the sun on your skin, etc).
Spend the most time you can outdoors
Even if you live in the city, you can try to spend time outside and breathe fresh air (for example during your lunch outside if it's a nice day). Exercising could be also a good opportunity to spend time outdoors. Go running or training in the park or in the garden! When you can do it, avoid the transports and go by foot!
Bring the nature in your house
If you don't have access to natural spaces, invite nature to your place! This also forms part of the Shinrin-yoku therapy! Add plants, able to survive, in your living place, Moreover, plants clean the air you are breathing!
You can also opt for reed diffusers or essential oils (as cedar, fir, sandalwood or pine) or nature sounds (rainforests, ocean waves, crickets, etc). It's also important to keep the air fresh and clean by opening the window (make the air circulate).
If you are interested in knowing more about this kind of therapy, you can read the book of Dr. Qing Li who digs into the Japanese concept of Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing).

A frigid field in eastern Siberia, via Rosneft
Russia's huge push into Arctic oil continues with new tax breaks on "tight" oil. More commonly referred to in the US as shale oil, tight oil is hard to exploit without advanced drilling technologies like hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. Russia thus hopes that the tax breaks announced September 1 will help fuel a fracking boom that can rival that of the United States'.
According to Reuters, the tax break runs as high as $21 per barrel, which is a rather large incentive in today's market. As Reuters notes, it's driven by Russia's urgent need to unlock new oil fields. Russia has relied on its vast West Siberian reserves since the Soviet era, and they're nearing the end of their productive life. With oil export deals worth hundreds of billions of dollars on the line, Russia—led by state-controlled oil behemoth Rosneft—has redoubled its efforts on tapping hard to reach oil.
Russia currently produces about 10 million barrels of oil per day (Saudi Arabia is currently around 10.5 million, while the US averaged 6.4 million last year), but with Rosneft contracted to double exports to China and Western Siberia getting tapped, there's a whole lot of pressure to keep that production up.
That means a new focus on more advanced, riskier extraction technologies, including expensive, difficult Arctic offshore drilling and now fracking. It should come as little surprise that Rosneft is the firm that lobbied for the new tax break, as it has forced its way into controlling Russia's Arctic and has an enormous amount of political clout.
(Already the world's largest oil company by volume, Rosneft also just bought the remaining stake in Taas, a mid-sized oil firm it partially owned. Russia's anti-monopoly approved the deal.)
The $270 billion Chinese deal already offered a funding lifeline to Rosneft, which has stretched itself thin in buying up drilling rights, and the big new tax breaks will offer fresh chances to develop Siberia's potentially lucrative Bazhenov Formation. The Bazhenov reserves amount to somewhere between 22 billion recoverable barrels (Rosneft's estimate) and 75 billion (US Energy Information Administration study), but they're largely locked away in hard-to-reach places.
Even with the incentives, a fracking boom isn't a done deal yet. Russia currently produces only 10,000 barrels per day (0.2 percent of its total) through fracking, compared to two million barrels a day in the US. In other words, despite vast reserves, Russia lags in fracking ability. But with tax breaks of between 4.2 and 21 percent per barrel, depending on extraction difficulty, Rosneft's engineers now have a good reason to learn.

AkzoNobel to Divest Non-Stick Coatings Activities
AkzoNobel has agreed to divest its non-stick coatings business to privately-owned, US-based company Whitford Worldwide. Financial details have not been disclosed.
The deal involves AkzoNobel's global cookware and bakeware activities, which operate out of five sites in the US, China, India, Brazil and Italy. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2009.
"Although it is a solid business, our non-stick coatings operation does not have the scale for it to become a true market leader globally," explained Leif Darner, AkzoNobel's Board member responsible for Performance Coatings. "In the hands of new owners, however, it offers good growth opportunities and we are convinced our employees are joining an ambitious and successful company run by capable professionals who we trust to take the business forward."
Added Whitford Worldwide's CEO Dave Willis: "Acquiring AkzoNobel's non-stick activities gives us access to cutting-edge technology and expertise which will enable us to significantly expand our portfolio. It's an excellent business which fits in perfectly with our own ambitions and growth plans."
Whitford Worldwide manufactures a wide range of non-stick coatings for consumer applications of all types, including frying pans, coffee-plate warmers and waffle makers. Founded in 1969, the company also manufactures coatings for the chemical processing and petrochemical industries.
's non-stick coatings business employs around 140 people and details about how many will be transferred are being discussed. Unions and employee representative bodies have been informed and consultations procedures will begin shortly, where applicable. Regulatory approval will also be sought as and where appropriate.

Important: Please read the Qt Code of Conduct - https://forum.qt.io/topic/113070/qt-code-of-conduct
[solved] How to use obsolete members from a class. QUrl in my case
darkp03 last edited by
Hi everyone!
Im working on a project that was originally built on Qt 4.4.0 and im trying to make it work on the latest Qt. This is by far more complex than what I thought.
Right now im working with the QUrl class, my program is using the queryItemValue method. According to the documentation, that method is obsolete http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qurl-obsolete.html#queryItemValue but I quote
bq. The following members of class QUrl are obsolete. They are provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using them in new code.
So, what I understand from this, is that Qt strongly advises not to use this method, but it still keeps it to be backwards compatible (and thats exacly what I want!).
When I try to compile the following error appears
bq. 'class QUrl' has no member named 'queryItemValue'
And indeed, the method doesnt exist. When I list all of the methods available on the class, that one doesnt appear
Why is it that I cant see this method? Do I have to place a compiler directive in order to make Qt use obsolete methods from classes?
Any point or guideline is strongly appreciated.
Im running Qt Creator 3.2.1 (opensource)
Based on Qt 5.3.2 (MSVC 2010, 32bit)
Built on Sep 12 2014 at 15:47:18
Edit: Fixed spelling mistakes

France Is Clearing Out the 'Jungle' in Calais, But What Comes Next?
It will take long-term solutions after the camp is shut down to rehouse many of the thousands of people who lived there.
Last February, the French government began destroying part of the the "Jungle," a sprawling migrant camp set up in the northern town of Calais. Thousands of asylum-seekers had gathered there in hopes they would find their way into Britain by way of the English Channel tunnel. Many tried to sneak in by hiding on trucks lined up to enter the tunnel, causing traffic jams that backed up for miles and prompting backlash from both countries' far-right parties who said the masses of displaced were a security threat to both Britain and France.
The partial destruction last February caused riots at the camp, and police responded by spraying asylum-seekers with tear gas while they watched their makeshift homes burn to the ground.
So the second time France decided to go about shutting down the camp, which has grown to house some 7,000 people from around the world, authorities tried to be more organized. On Monday, some 3,000 of the camp residents lined up to be sorted onto buses that will disperse them to 451 different migration centers across the country. Others will be dispersed over the course of this week.
Leonard Doyle, a spokesman for the International Organization for Migration, told Foreign Policy in a phone call on Monday that this effort is "certainly more determined," but warned against seeing this round of clearing out as the end of the Calais camp.
"Whether it's final can be a rash thing to say given that these things have a habit of just coming back when they least want them to," Doyle said.
The largest concern for organizations like IOM is the number of unaccompanied minors included in the overall headcount. The camp has housed around 1,300 unaccompanied minors, some of whom were relocated to the United Kingdom last week, where they joined family members living there who they had been trying to reach when they first arrived in Calais.
But there are many more vulnerable youngsters left to be sorted. "1,300 unaccompanied minors, that's a really scary number," Doyle said.
For adults, there is now a long road ahead to try to seek asylum in either the EU or Britain. The French government tried to tell those being forced out of the camp that moving elsewhere will actually make that process easier.
"The immense majority of migrants present at Calais are eligible for international protection," the French Interior Ministry said in a statement about the camp's closure. It also said that moving out of squalor in Calais will allow former residents to "serenely envisage a request for asylum in France."
Doyle commended the more organized effort to shut down the camp, which was in such poor conditions that it made the risk of health problems and human trafficking even higher. But he said said there's "no doubt" that there are shortcomings in the French plan for the thousands of migrants they're moving this week, including a more solid long-term plan that will help relocate people permanently instead of moving them from one place to another. That solution, is key, he said, because the informal camp in Calais is "part of a wider phenomenon."
"The 'Jungle' is one place but it could pop up anywhere," he said.

It's Day 43 of our great kitchen nightmare, I mean renovation project. And, we're pretty much where we were on Day 7. Ah, Day 7! We were chock full of hope and wide-eyed optimism (and naiveté) that this would all be done in a month.
Here's an update: Our contractors destroyed, I mean cleaned out our kitchen, removing everything. And I mean everything. This is how you start a kitchen renovation project. Lots of smashing. The frig is in the living room, and plugged in. The stove/oven is in the dining room and isn't plugged in. We have no kitchen sink.
And, when the contractors smashed up and removed everything, including a bunch of dry wall, they started discovering structural, plumbing and electrical problems. Big ones. Expensive ones. It would be a fascinating episode on one of those HGTV shows if this was an HGTV show and not my actual life. It's always better when stuff like this happens to someone else! Sorry someone else.
So, delay No. 1: Getting a permit. It's a really complicated and expensive process. I'm going to stop using the word expensive, as it's redundant, and every time I write it, a little piece of me (and our bank account) dies.
Delay No. 2: Getting a plumber. We're still in the midst of this one, but he's supposed to start removing and replacing all the plumbing in our entire house – the entire house, not just the kitchen – a week from tomorrow (knock on wood). Turns out the previous owner didn't get permits for his renovation. Or do it to code. Which is probably why he didn't get a permit.
Not sure when the electrician gets here to do his thing, but he can't start until the plumber starts and/or finishes. And our contractors can't do their thing until the plumber and electrician finish doing their things. A lot of things seem to depend on other things in a renovation project. And when one thing goes bad … the entire timeline is rubbish.
It's been even harder on our cats, Louie and Penny, than it's been on Susan and me. We've had to move their bowls/eating area from the kitchen and their litter boxes from the basement (which you get to through the kitchen) to the upstairs bathroom initially, and now, into the attic … in anticipation of the plumber's much-heralded arrival and work in the kitchen, basement and upstairs bathroom. Poor Louie, he can't seem to remember where to go to eat … or poop. He's old and confused and spends most of the day yelling at us. And sleeping. Penny is handling it a lot better than Louie.
Susan is handling it a lot better than me. She's become quite adept at doing dishes in the bathroom sink and has amazing patience with Louie. And with me. Kitchen renovations projects are the fourth leading cause of divorce in this country. Now I know why!
I've become quite adept at fashioning meals from supermarkets. And, by adept, I mean I ran out of new ideas on Day 27 and now it's the same few things over and over again.
For breakfast we have a yogurt with stuff in it, either fruit or granola. Both on Sundays!
For lunch, we have more yogurt with stuff. Or a PBJ. I've learned that it's really hard to get to the peanut butter on the bottom of the jar with a plastic knife. Three out of four times the knife snaps in two.
For dinner, my go-to is Whole Foods, and their prepared foods/salads, which are somewhat reasonable (for Whole Foods) at $9.99 a pound. Our favorites are the Mediterranean chicken and the lentils with mushrooms. Then again, I'm sick of Mediterranean chicken and the lentils with mushrooms at this point. One more lentil and I may lose it.
OK, time to stop whining.
"It will all be worth it when we have our beautiful new kitchen," Susan keeps promising me. At this point, this is the only thing keeping Louie and me from a total meltdown. I wonder which one of us will crack first?

We have tried to keep it simple here at Boss Lights, as we know trying to figure out what light to buy can get confusing. On top of that it seems that every other week something is being changed or added to the light you just purchased and it�s name is changed. We have been selling the Hotspot for 5 years with only minor changes. The changes we did make were incorporated into the light and we didn�t change the name and claim to have next best thing. The reason is simple. The Boss Hotspot was built right the first time and it has what a coon hunter needs to find a coon with and safely get around the woods. Since we first built the Hotspot we have listened very close to what customers have said and what improvements they would like to see.
We feel the Boss Hotspot Elite competes with any light being sold when it comes to what the Coon Hunter needs. That is Reliability, Brightness, Burn Time, Comfort and Affordability.
The first change is the Switch has been moved to the head. We have a lot of people up north that wear hoodies and it makes it so much easier for them to get to their switch. The switch has 4 forward positions for the main beam. Then two positions for the walk light and two positions for the colored LED. As in the past you can have the colored LED in Red or Green. The second change is the brightness of the Walk Light. You can easily shine trees with the Walk Light if you want to. It is BRIGHT. The Battery box is also smaller than our past lights. 3.4 x 2.25 x 1.5 inches. While many light builders are going to smaller battery boxes with less batteries, that is something we would not do. We have 3 top of the line batteries on the box which gives you 4 hours of burn time on high and our light will then start to dim down and still last 2 more hours. On the main beam our favorite is the DeDomed LED. It gives you a warm white color that makes it a lot easier to find the coon against the bark of the tree and it penetrates and doesn�t wash out when shining off in the distance. With the Walk Light being writer and a cool white, you have the best of both worlds in one light. Also don�t want to forget the LAZER that the Boss Lights have built into them. There is one simple toggle switch to turn it on and off with.

Earth Day 2009 is fast approaching and in celebration of Mother Earth, Disney is releasing an epic nature film aptly titled "Earth." If you buy a ticket during the opening week, they will plant a tree for you! And when I saw the trailer, I was completely excited about this. Check it out:
Take a minute to just rock out with this cockatoo and Ray Charles. Go ahead… shake your tailfeather.
Wow! Finally the first official movie trailer for the live action version of Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, directed by Spike Jonze!! Looks incredible and I can not wait. Coming out Oct. 16.
Amma is considerded a living, breathing saint in every corner of the world. Since 1987 she has hugged over 20 million people across the globe. Often called "the hugging saint" her message of deep motherly compassion has triggered profound responses from people of all walks of life and from every background. She believes that there are two kinds of poverty in the world: 1) lack of shelter, food and basic physical needs and 2) the poverty of love and compassion. For by first addressing the second, the first will rightfully be corrected.
My brilliant friend Jana Christy (artist extraordinaire) forwarded me this incredible link to a talk that Elizabeth Gilbert (author of Eat, Pray, Love) recently made at the TED conference. She talks about her own rise to fame and what she knows about how we often ruin genius. Great talk.

For some just the idea of planning, especially when it a plan for living, is a challenge, they think it is a waste of time. If that is you just remember the old saying – not planning is a plan to fail. The other thing to consider is that if you are not planning things the way you want them to be, others will make the plan for you.
[bctt tweet="Life is better when lived on your own terms, the alternative is much less appealing" username="KoyamaRuth"]
Planning is not as difficult as it might appear, nor is the task as daunting as it is often made out to be. The plan covers areas you are already dealing with day to day and sets them out in a way they the can be managed and addressed in a proactive manner. Consider the following areas and ideas when you look to creating your own plan.
The topics you may want to included in the plan as you can see below are personal and clearly, not one size fits all;
One way to tackle creating your personal power plan for living life on your terms is to consider each letter on its own.
The P is the part where your prepare and gather and ponder all the information you need on your current physical and psychological position. Using this information your can then design a plan that works for living your life on your terms.
The next letter L is for learning and using the lessons to become the authority on your current status. Only when you educate yourself and learn what it takes to remain in control or retake control will you be able to live life on your terms.
The A stands for two very critical pieces of the plan – acceptance and action. Some of the information you gather may be something you didn't want to know, much less agree with. But if you have received it from the right source and you confirmed it to be fact then you must be willing to accept it and act on what the evidence affirms as necessary. Especially if that information declares that unless you take action you will be unable reach your goal.
It may require N – nerve to actually enact the plan and you may have others who scoff at the audacity of even attempting it. Having the nerve and being courageous is what you need to live life on your terms. If you have planned correctly and have the data to back it up you have won the battle. Especially when you have the evidence confirming its' validity. It is then a proven plan for a better, healthier and happier lifestyle – whose to argue the results. You may discover others will follow your example.

Some more weird mechanics from Shadowrun 2nd ed. And it also makes sense of all artwork they have on the early editions with the mage flying. the Cannon Companion as I remember and a couple of rules in the back one of which is if you are falling your init is 30 (which as I remember gives you about 4 actions a round and is generally at the very fast end of the fast.) so what you do is have a levitation spell spell locked to you that will kick in when you are at about 1′ above the ground and cut out when you are 2′ or similar and you have the best initiative in the party
Another is that you take distance fallen (in meters) L damage so if you are a low body character you can kill yourself tripping over
And with grenades as they only do serious damage and are an area effect weapon you cannot stage them up so you end up being able to survive a grenade dropped right next to you in an enclosed room
Shadowrun 4th edition had an interesting item called barrier foam that is suppose to be used to make a small wall for cover. I had a player who had the bright idea to use on people to make instant coffins. That character ended up becoming a serial killer
So those Perform checks turn you into the People's Poet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnZnnkJxoC8
The rules I don't get are the carrying capacity of the characters in every game system I've ever played. This spills over to the standard equipment builds which are usually heavier than the character.
A 140 lb character who can carry 255 lbs. (without a bag of holding, a horse, cart, or automobile, etc.), really?
Max in the real world is around 50% to 60% of your body weight (and that is for trained SF soldiers and other mega-athletes, not normal people). That would require severe disadvantages to speed, stamina, and dexterity.
A more reasonable maximum would be 1/3 your body weight, but even then you're going to be beat. So my 140 lb example should be carrying less than 45 pounds.
Carrying capacity is even worse- above a certain size 110 pounds or 50 kg who can carry 25 kg maybe the bigger you are the less you can carry.

I love this module. I use it extensively and it has improved the quality of my code by a lot.
1) Rich features. It handles common validations out-of-the-box, and with the ability to specify a regex/callback it's easily extensible.
2) The error messages generated when validation fails are very user-friendly.
3) The documentation is also stellar; every question I've had has been answered there.
Use it without hesitation.
Absolutely great module, five stars all around for the code itself. Four stars for the developer, though, who's yet to apply a three year old patch (it's been sitting on RT, ready and waiting) that adds the one missing feature I want!
Somone should include this in an intermediate perl book. It's very useful.
I hate to give all 5's, but I love Params::Validate. It's become as common in the perl I write as 'use strict'. It provides enough flexibility to ensure that it won't ever get in your way (it handles both positional and non-positional arguments,) it's syntax is simple and intuitive, and I've rarely had a case that couldn't be expressed with it.
Use Params::Validate; you'll write better perl.
Excellent module overall. My only complaint is there's no easy way to handle errors.
This is a great module for validating named or unamed subroutine and method parameters. It's easy to use, and seems to work without any problems.
My only "complaint" (read: wishlist item) is that there's no way to have both unnamed and named calling styles.
Excellent way to validate one's parameters. Very worthy of the namespace.
Lets one validate the type of ones parameters, lets you attach callbacks to verify the contents of said variables, lets you have positional _or_ named arguments, lets you have default values for things. Lets you do lots of things.
Very nice and I strongly recommend it.

Health Coaching 101
Health Coaching 101
Health coaching is a proven solution to help individuals living with or at risk of developing chronic conditions.
But the term "health coaching" means different things to different people, because it's delivered by a variety of professionals in a variety of ways.
The practice of consulting with and providing support for individuals as they work to improve their health is "health coaching" and sometimes done by a certified "Health Coach" (note the proper noun here). In other cases, health coaching services are provided other health professionals.
Health professionals who deliver health coaching services include:
- Health Coaches, Dietitians, Nutritionists
- Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Diabetes Educators
- Primary Care Physicians, Specialist Doctors, Psychiatrists
Health coaching is delivered through a variety of business models and modes, including in-person appointments, scheduled telephonic conversations, video calling, and text messaging in a digital health coaching mobile app. Asynchronous communications like text exchanges have proven to be highly effective in driving better outcomes, because it integrates the coaching experience into daily life.

The Mountain Coaster In Northern California That Will Take You On A Ride Of A Lifetime
The only thing better than a roller coaster ride is a roller coaster that takes you through the jaw dropping beauty of the Sierra Nevada. Imagine zooming along through the fresh mountain air with views of Lake Tahoe and other natural scenery. Heavenly Resort's alpine coaster, the Ridge Roller, allows you to do all this and more.
You can see for yourself what a cool and unique experience this ride is. And as you can see in the video below, you don't need to wait for all the snow to melt to hop on board for the ride of a lifetime. It's a good thing, too, because with the winter Tahoe just had there will be snow melting for months!
Address: Eldorado National Forest, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Heavenly Village, 4080 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
Would you dare to roll along on this alpine coaster? Let us know by commenting on this article on Facebook.

Not to sound like a pretentious jerk, but
I loved podcasts before podcasts were cool.
(PS Thanks for making them cool, Serial!)
Over three years ago, I started the Go Fork Yourself podcast with my long-time boss/friend, Andrew Zimmern. We had funny conversations in the office; why not record them and blast 'em off to the masses?
Recording the first few episodes were really, really scary. I'm a strong writer, but speaking? Not really my forte, especially when my co-host is a person who could talk for hours without coming up for air.
I had so much anxiety about my ability to speak confidently, that I took three rounds of improv classes.
Improv helped tremendously.
I learned to not over think things. Sometimes, you just gotta open your mouth and trust that the right thing will fly out of it. And if it doesn't, you need to learn to cut yourself some slack. Or ensure you have a great editor.
As of this moment, we've recorded over 150 episodes. Slowly, but surely, we build a dedicated following that tuned in weekly. They asked us tons of questions, struck up conversations on social media, and a few even sent us gifts. It was absolutely delightful.
In the late spring of this year, our podcast producer left (on good terms, in case you are wondering) and GFY was going to take a hiatus. I needed to make a decision.
I had considered podcasting on my own. I was already doing interesting interviews with super-smart people, so why not record them and create my own show? Plus, I had an existing audience who knew who I was and were already listening to me on a podcast. I potentially already had listeners! I didn't want to just sit back and watch that audience walk away.
Of course, the trouble was I didn't exactly know how to make a podcast.
Because I am insane, I decided to go full throttle and figure it out. I bought a microphone. I learned how to use Garage Band. I purchased music. I downloaded software to record phone calls on Skype.
A week later, I launched my first show.
It was just me and a microphone, telling my story. It was okay. It took forever to record, edit and upload. But I did it and it felt great.
Or at least it felt great for a moment.
Because as soon as I posted the first show, I had another one to make. And then another after that. And so on…. and so on….
This podcasting stuff takes so much time! You have to set up the interview, prep for the interview, then do the interview. Then there's editing, transcribing, writing, recording and editing the intro and outro, coming up with a marketing strategy… it's a lot. And I realized I was spending about 10 hours a week making this happen. And I wasn't getting paid for it.
For a new-ish show, I had respectable listenership. I thought the content was great. I'm really, really, really proud of what I made. But it wasn't enough to even earn $20 from a sponsor. Really. I asked people who sell podcast ads.
So I had to get real with myself.
What am I really trying to accomplish? Not just with this podcast, but with my career and life? I love writing, which is an element of podcasting. And I love working, but I want to work SMARTER, not HARDER. And since this show takes up roughly 30 percent of the time I eventually want to dedicate to working every week, I decided to put it on hold. I might take it up again, but not until I have the time. And right now I don't.
I love that I gave it a shot, and now I know it's not the right move to make at this time. I'll still be doing interviews, just only in written form.
So that's why I'm a quitter, again. It's a little scary, but also feels pretty darn good.
* * *
You might think quitting is for losers. I think quitting can be pretty darn great. Here's a bunch of quitters who are making their lives more awesome on purpose.

How to Send GIF Images on an iPhone
In your day-to-day business, you may occasionally need to send a GIF image to a colleague or client from your iPhone. The iPhone does not save camera images as GIF files, so in most cases, a GIF file is either an image on your computer that has been synced to your iPhone or it's an image you've saved from a website while browsing in Safari. You can send GIF image files as part of an email or as part of an MMS or iMessage.
Tap the "Photos" icon on your iPhone's home screen to open the Photos app.
Tap on the album containing the GIF image you want to send.
Tap on the GIF image to select it.
Tap the "Share" icon at the bottom of the screen. This icon is the rectangle with a right-facing arrow.
Email the GIF image to a recipient by tapping the "Email Photo" option. You can also send the GIF as an MMS or iMessage by tapping the "Message" option.

Any experienced job-seeker knows them when she sees them: the common phrases and buzzwords found in virtually all job postings and descriptions. Not surprisingly, there's a gap between what the job description says and what it really means. The language may look like English, but in reality it's a strange brew of jargon and catch-phrases that may have different meanings, depending on the circumstances.
Here's a brief run-down of some of the most frequently encountered phrases, along with tips on how to make them work for you.
Experience required. Many job descriptions include this phrase, without any specific information on exactly how much experience they're talking about. Some job-hunting experts suggest this should be interpreted as a minimum of three years.
Willing to work independently. Sounds attractive, right? Well, be careful. It could actually mean anything from "We're not sure what the job entails" to "You'll have to learn what to do on your own." This is probably best suited for a person who enjoys the challenge of succeeding without anyone's help.
Fast-paced, challenging environment. Could this mean "There's chaos here and no one knows what's going on"? It's safe to assume the position requires a candidate who works well under pressure and can juggle multiple projects without losing focus. At some point, you'll want to determine if "fast-paced" means a healthy production schedule or widespread confusion.
Working knowledge. This one is fairly straightforward. The employer desires specific skills and abilities; if you're interested, be prepared to offer evidence that you have what they're looking for.
Opportunities for growth. New companies and start-ups often include this phrase in their job description. They may be operating on a shoestring budget and hoping an interested candidate will look past a less-than-desirable starting salary, in exchange for the chance to move up the ladder. This could be a great opportunity for the ambitious job-seeker.
Perform other tasks as needed and Some overtime required. Both of these phrases suggest a work environment involving hard work and long hours. That's not a bad thing, of course, especially if you thrive on new challenges and opportunities for growth. (And you can be reasonably sure that's the kind of person the employer is looking for.) It may also mean the job duties haven't yet been clearly defined and that, if hired, you may be called upon to help shape the ultimate position.

Tom's Reflection on Travels, Kindness in Afghanistan
About nine years ago now, shortly after the 9/11 attacks and just as On Point began as a show, host Tom Ashbrook published a piece in the Washington Post reflecting on his travels in Afghanistan. Since then, On Point has done some 200 shows that have touched on the fate of that country. As we look today again at Afghanistan in our first hour, the staff thought the article was still very relevant. Here it is:
The Washington Post
November 22, 2001
Kindness in a Hard Place
By Tom Ashbrook
It's been a long time since I was in Afghanistan. It was before Osama bin Laden's rise to fame and infamy, before the Taliban, before the Soviet invasion, and I was very young.
In those days, though it seems incredible now, you could take an overland bus from India to Europe. It wasn't Greyhound. In the hippy "love train" spirit of that time, we called it the Magic Bus — and today it would have to be magic to travel that impassable route — across Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey and the Balkans.
We took it for granted, of course, in the way that circumstances of the moment are so often taken for granted. I'd been in India for a year, studying Gandhi and ancient scripture. My fellow passengers were spiritual seekers and happy global drifters: young Italians smoking opium in the back of the bus; American and Canadian hippies in outlandish outfits from the bazaars of Goa and Katmandu; an incongruous family of Mormon missionaries. The bus driver was a high-strung Cockney with a scarlet headband and hair like a storybook Jesus.
We climbed from Islamabad through the tough-as-nails market town of Peshawar, through ever cooler, higher, harder terrain — into Afghanistan. With each mile, the landscape grew more craggy and forbidding. So did the people. Women gradually disappeared under head-to-toe burqas. Many men carried old rifles, their shoulders draped with bandoliers of ammunition.
The Afghan border post was a cluster of tents, between peaks in the Khyber Pass, that looked straight out of the 10th century. There were goats, open cook fires, moneychangers cross-legged on ancient carpets. We sipped tea, enjoyed the wood smoke in the mountain air, enjoyed the idea that we were in Afghanistan.
Up the road, in Kabul, there was a thin veneer of modern life. Five- and six-story buildings at the center of town. Young women in pleated skirts, heads uncovered, walking with schoolbooks alongside tradition-draped elders. And, for a hungry American coming up from largely vegetarian India, there was everywhere the intoxicating aroma of barbecued beef, sizzling kebabs on the smoky grills of hundreds of roadside peddlers.
A new Canadian friend and I celebrated with a feast in the streets. A few hours later I was nearly dead of meat poisoning, losing everything, losing blood.
My Canadian friend got me to the U.S. Embassy (now destroyed by Taliban mobs) and then to the public hospital, a mud-walled warren of stark, dirt-floor rooms that looked unchanged since the British Raj. I had lost my senses and was soon thrashing and howling on a narrow bed. Suddenly there was a doctor, a syringe of morphine and the improbable vision of two smiling young women, Afghan candy-stripers, student nurses in crisp, pink-striped uniforms, hovering over me in my delirium, helping to pump my stomach, wiping my brow and, very gently over the next two days, nursing me, an American stranger with nothing but a backpack and human vulnerability, back to health.
They were clear-eyed young women, no older than I, smart and cheerful and carefully saving my life. They were surely pushing the bounds of their traditional culture, while other women on the rough wooden benches in the waiting room peered at the world through the dense crochet of hooded robes. For two days, these two women, girls really, kept me covered and warm, tended my intravenous feed, washed my clothes and fed me, then got me on my feet and waved goodbye.
The magic bus had waited. That night, near Kandahar, a flash flood from the Hindu Kush covered the smooth U.S.-built highway, drowned our engine and left us stranded in the desert. Could be many days waiting for parts, the driver said. A fierce sandstorm swept in.
The next morning I woke early. Every sleeping body in the bus was covered with a layer of fine, white Afghan desert. I rubbed my eyes clean, shook my Canadian friend awake to say goodbye, grabbed my pack, climbed off the bus and hitchhiked away, restless to go on, to see more. I wandered free through Herat and Tehran and Istanbul and finally home, to America.
Now, all these years later, it's lower Manhattan that's been covered in a fine, white dust. We have grieved and learned to fear for our freedoms. U.S. soldiers fight in Afghanistan. No buses travel from India to Europe. And on Thanksgiving Day, I find myself thinking of those Afghan girls, my age then and now, if they still live, somewhere.
History has dealt Afghanistan a wretched hand. Have those two survived it? Did the Taliban knock them down? Or are they Islamic radicals? Are they starving? Are they refugees, fleeing oppression or American bombs? Do they remember an American boy whose life they saved when the world was young?
They are part of a hard people, with a hard history. But I have glimpsed a soft heart inside. Today I give thanks for their long-ago kindness. For graciously saving a life. And I pray that one day the smoke will clear and we will find that soft heart again, and share with it our own.

Mounting attack on AICC general secretary Digvijaya Singh, who is under fire for the "blunder" which blew the Congress' chances to form government in Goa, former party legislator Vishwajit Rane today said it's time the veteran politician called it quits.
"Digvijaya should now take retirement from politics. The kind of blunder he along with other Congress leaders did, cost the party its government (in Goa) despite having a majority," Rane told PTI, a day after he quit the party.
"I don't know whether Digvijaya really wanted to form the Congress government in Goa. Looking at his actions, it did not seem like (he did)," he said.
The 45-year-old Rane had defied the party whip during the crucial floor test in the Goa Assembly yesterday, jolting the Congress, which came one down from the 17 votes it had against the government, when he absented himself.
Rane, son of former Chief Minister Pratapsinh Rane, alleged that the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting which was held in the party office after winning 17 seats in the Goa assembly polls was a mere "joke".
"The meetings continued for long and nothing was being decided. Entire day, media was outside the hotel and meetings continued. On the other hand, BJP held a video-conferencing with their leaders in Delhi and within no time, they cobbled up an alliance," he said.
When BJP and alliance partners gave the letter of support to Governor Mridula Sinha, the Congress woke up from its slumber and got into action, Rane added.
According to Rane, the Goa Forward Party had showed their intention to forge an alliance with Congress and form the government, if Digambar Kamat was elected as the CLP leader.
"But the party took time to discuss on the proposal of GFP and lost out on the opportunity to form the government," he claimed.
The three-time MLA also said he would be re-contesting from Valpoi constituency and reiterated that he was "open to all options" and even fighting on a BJP ticket.
"Once I am elected, I will tender my support to the Manohar Parrikar-led government. We can't sit in Opposition and let the constituency suffer. People have high expectations during the next five years," he said.
Rane also rubbished the rumours that his father would be quitting the Congress.
"My father is not going anywhere. He is a loyal Congressman and he will be with them," he stressed.
The Manohar Parrikar government yesterday proved its majority on the floor of Goa Assembly by winning the trust vote with the support of 22 legislators in the 40-member House.

SARP Timeline
Sci-fi roleplaying and worldbuilding community
The Kuvexian War is the current name of an armed conflict between the Yamatai Star Empire and the Interstellar Kingdom Of Kuvexia and their various vassal states and species. It began in YE 38.
In YE 36, the YSS Eucharis found a crashed starship full of Rixxikor. After a violent first contact, the Yamatai Star Empire gained the attention of the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia, which had been using Rixxikor as cannon fodder. King Kalapom declared that Yamatai was a nuisance and ordered the Kuvexian Military to begin invasion plans.
By early YE 37 Kuvexians had established a forward operating starbase and their ships were depositing Rixxikor in Yamatai Space on planet Higaflan in the Higaflan star system. The Star Army engaged in direct combat with Kuvexian Navy ships. Later that year, the Star Army also encountered a Rixxikor colony ship in the Nougfran System.
In YE 38, conflicts escalated when the Rixxikor mounted an attack on the YSS Eucharis, attempting to steal it. The Eucharis retaliated by destroying the Graxlat scrapyard where the Rixxikor colony ships were being made. Following this, the Star Army First Expeditionary Fleet mounted a large attack on the Kuvexian Navy's forward operating starbase. This large, direct attack on the Kuvexians led to the start of the war.
In late YE 39 the YSS Kaiyō II gained intelligence on a Kuvexian owned and operated space station and were ordered to destroy it. Successful as they were, the crew came face to face with Kuvexian power armors and tasted death at the hands of their enemies. It was a harsh but necessary lesson for the crew as in the beginning of YE 41 they set out on a tour of duty to unsettle the frontlines of the enemy, as the ship had always sought to do. The tour is currently underway, wrought with difficulties and accomplishments alike, ongoing in YE 42.
In YE 38, Star Army of Yamatai, under Taisho Ketsurui Yui, declared war on the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia1).
1) The Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia has made known threats of imminent invasion of the Yamatai Star Empire, which have been relayed by its Naval officers to the officers of the YSS Eucharis and to Star Army Intelligence.
2) The Navy of the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia has already attacked starships of the Star Army of Yamatai such as the YSS Eucharis on multiple occassions,
3) The Navy of the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia established a military starbase for forward operations against the Yamatai Star Empire in the Kikyo sector,
4) The Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia has attempted to disrupt the Kikyo Sector economically by dumping millions of Rixxikor into our area of space, who, by all accounts, are destitute, disorderly anarchists who are prone to violence.
5) Forces associated with the Kuvexian Kingdom have attempted to steal Star Army of Yamatai military ships and equipment, and have kidnapped Star Army personnel.
Recognizing that the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia has made unprovoked acts of war against the Star Army of Yamatai, the Yamatai Star Empire, and the greater Kikyo sector as a whole;
Therefore I resolve, by the power and authority invested in me by the Constitution of the Yamatai Star Empire and by the Empress of Yamatai, Her Imperial Majesty Himiko I, Sovereign of the Yamatai Star Systems, the Elysian Celestial Empire, Gashmere, Ohara, Essia, and the Outer Colonies, that:
1) A State of War now exists between the Yamatai Star Empire and the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia, and that commanders of the Fleets, Organizations, and Bases of Star Army of Yamatai and Yamatai's planetary defense forces are authorized to utilize their full resources to make war against the Kingdom of Kuvexia and its allies to bring this war to a successful and victorious end.
2) I also request that all resources of the Imperial government are pledged to the same.
Ketsurui Yui Commander, Star Army of Yamatai
In YE 40, the Kuvexians launched a major invasion of the Kikyo Sector. It was foiled by the efforts of the YSS Eucharis and YSS Sakura II.
In YE 41, the Kuvexians responded by launching a much larger offensive, the Kuvexian Invasion of YE 41.
The Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia declared War on the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia shortly after they battled the Elefirn (a subjugated species), under suspicions of an attack on the Nepleslian Colonial Expanse.
The success of the invasion of YE 41 was expanded on in the Kuvexian Advance of YE 42.
Star Army soldiers who participated in this war are given the Kuvexian War Service Ribbon.

OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta feedback
The intention of this page is to collect the beta feedback from the various mailing list, forums, press, issues and come at the end to a prioritized list of most import bugs we need to fix for 3.0.
Also this is the chance to collect complains of most missed features so that we are able to develop a roadmap for the upcoming releases.
good stuff
I wonder if you might like to include on your marketing page OOo 3.0's concerted attempt to finally get word count right. This has been a major bugbear for professional writers, and work is underway right now to get OOo to mimic MS Word in this regard. This is a huge deal for a significant portion of your user base, and a major success worth trumpeting.
The master bug for this issue is 80815, if you're interested.
2. "Thank you"] from a Mac Aqua user
not so good stuff
- OpenOffice is "getting slower with each release"
- response to Mark's response (he missed the good news)
- File -> Save As in Vista SP1 broken => http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=87244
- MS Office 2007 XML filter issues
- Impress drag text box not working http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=89484
- Strange 600% limitation in Chart2, when changing space width between rectangles , like on this Snapshot [1]
- [Mac Aqua] writer crashes opening word documents with comments inside Issue 89243
- There's a nasty confirmed regression in the search and replace which should be fixed before this is released. "x"s are randomly added at the end of replacement strings when formatting is changed.
MS-O 2007 support
- file format support a mixed bag
- OpenOffice.org Beta Fails the Office 2007 Test
- what I'm seeing now doesn't give me much hope that I'll be able to replace Microsoft Office 2007 with OO.o 3.0
- converted this reference .docx document with mediocre quality... (the document)
missing features
- Calc: Sort icons AZ/ZA should take into account active cell column -> to directly sort based on this column
(very handy feature in Excel) Plus (if possible): should remenber last sorts to enable infinite number of column criteria by successive sorts beginning by minor criterias (as in Excel again) NB: these long since signaled lacks for every day work of the avarage users are healed by simples macros, since not too hard to fix
- Calc: should show in State Bar the number of filtered lines, basic info ! 28268
- Outline mode writer
- OpenType font support is limited
- MacOSX: use system spell checking
- 1rst startup performance
- svg import
- 64k row limit in Calc needs to get extended.
- polish up mailmerge and mailmerge perfomance : 40827 54531 87104.
- copy table from Calc to writer and vice versa.
- Add a place to the gallery (place could be a local folder or a website)
- envelope printing
Microsoft Office 2003 compatibility
- Please better compatibility with .doc, .xls and .ppt files!
- you must have 99.9% compatibility in a business setting.
- Interface, when I see OO, I think, OMG this sucks! Office 2007 is really brilliant in this.
- when will the interface look more modern?
- i thought OOo were going to improve the interface. but it looks identical to me!
- Ugly, none intuitive interface.
- I don't like the OpenOffice interface, it seems to poor for me.
- the interface could be more modern...
- MS Office 2007 interface is one of the best I've ever seen - please, implement this kind of interface in 3.0..
- My main complaint with Oo is the user interface... It really needs a gui facelift more than anything.
- RedOffice like ?

Labradorite Lily of the Valley Necklace
This beautiful necklace is handmade and features sprawling Lily of the Valley flowers. I surrounded the floral pendant with glistening, faceted labradorite beads to create a glimmering effect.
The fine silver floral pendant measures about 3/4" high and 3/4" wide.
This necklace has a sterling silver chain extender that will take the length from 16" to 19"
- Pure Silver
- Handmade item
- Materials: Labradorite, Fine Silver, Sterling Silver
CERTIFIED HANDMADE I personally handcraft this necklace upon order (it takes about 5 days), so each one is unique and may look slightly different from the necklace shown here. No two pieces of my jewelry are exactly the same.
FINE SILVER (PURE SILVER) Fine Silver is more valuable than Sterling because it has a higher silver content. Fine Silver is marked .999 to indicate 99.9% pure silver. Sterling is only 92.5%, marked .925. Fine Silver is more tarnish resistant than Sterling and has a bright white luminescence.

Where were you born? In Oakville.
What was your 1st job? I worked at Sportsman's Motor Inn in Victoria Harbour as waitress/receptionist… I did it all!
How long have you been in the business? 40 years, including working in a small agency in Barrie, and 30 years with Sears Travel. My typing teacher told me I couldn't type and I couldn't spell, but with my social skills I might make a good travel agent. So I applied to work in an agency in Midland.
Tell me about your 1st plane ride. To San Diego, on a FAM. Yes, I'd never been on a plane before I got into the business.
How has the business changed since you got into it? Well…it became computerized! Electronic tickets, downsizing of companies, bankruptcies. And that thing called the internet.
What was your best FAM? Recently on a river cruise to France… loved it. Very relaxing. And a younger demographic than I anticipated.
What drives you crazy? Consumers who think they know more than you, or who don't want to work with you. I'm not here to be more knowledgeable about the internet than you are. It's like they think you are out to get them, or charge them more. So they won't tell you exactly what they want because they're afraid you'll up-sell them.
What was your biggest individual sale? $30,000 – a cruise to Australia and New Zealand.
What's the 1st thing you do when you get into a hotel room? I look at the washroom. And check out how much closet space there is!
What's the weirdest question you've ever been asked? I was querying rental car prices in Trinidad and the car rental company rep asked if my clients intended to take it out of the country.
Do you have any time management strategies? No! And I would really like some! I do find working from home that I'm not as organized as I'd like to be.
What do you do to keep your clients loyal? I treat them like family. Follow up with them call them a couple of days before they travel to make sure all is clear, and a couple of days after they get home.
What's the best piece of advice you ever received? "Be true to yourself."
If you had to spend 6 months in a destination, which one would you pick? Maybe Australia. I haven't been there yet and it's large enough that you wouldn't be bored.
If you weren't doing this, what would you be doing? I wouldn't mind accounting - I enjoy balancing files. But I can't imagine doing anything else. How many people can say after 40 years - "I really like what I do"?
If you, or someone you know who is a front line travel agent in Canada, would like to be featured in Biting Questions, please e-mail email@example.com
