Jessica "Don't call me latina" Alba
"Hey Jess, see you at my party in Melbourne."
Jessica Marie Alba is a Mexican Actress, Kitchen maid, and scort. She is best known for her roles in Sin City and Sin City 2 and several mexican porn movies. It is said her burrito breath can bring a dead puppy back to life. She is 58 years old, 5'9" tall, weighs 141 pounds and is hotter than burning house.
Jessica Marie Alba was born in Durando, Mexico on December 25, 1951 by Esperanza Bustillo Carreño and Juan Pedro Alba Benitez. Her mother was a seamtress from Mexico, but her father was a Drug dealer from Cuba. While making a porn movie in the Mos Eisley cantina on Tattooine, Jessica Alba was conceived in March 1951. Jessica was born a male but an accident wich involved a carnivorous parrot forced her to undergo a sex change surgery.
Having been born to two non-humans, Jessica was put up for adoption and was adopted by Mark Cuban. Jessica spent her childhood growing up in Mexico city working as a street vendor and prostitute. At age 11, she was kidnapped on her way home from the streets by 3 men. The evil men were known for raping and murdering young girls and Jessica was about to be their next victim until she was saved by Eva Longoria, who sacrificed her cunt to save Jessica's, on his last day as a prostitute before retirement. She later forgot of his death and moved to the place where all dead people who aren't senior citizens live: Florida. She eventually had to be told by Haley Joel Osmont that he was already dead.
Jessica, traumatized by these events for years, joined the Military at age sixteen in hopes of forgetting her past memories. Jessica workedas prostitutes in places such as, Mississippi, New Orleans, Rio, Amsterdam, Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Astana, Mos Eisley, and Philadelphia, where she had seen things so drastic and nasty, that she had forgotten about her childhood, altogether. Because of this, she had also forgotten who her birth parents were, and thus she refuses to be called Latina in spite of her beaner face. At seventeen, Jessica returned home and fell in love with a fellow high school clasmate of hers, named Elongated Man. The two had a serious relationship, up until she was eighteen. Jessica had started having funny things happen to her, such as the ability to bring dead baby animals back to life with her beauty and the ability to not need to go to the bathroom, anymore. After all, Angels don't need to defecate.
Beacuse of the weird things happening to her, Jessica Alba did not understand what was happening to her. Because of this, Elongated Man dumped her and unsuccessfully tried a relationship with Supergirl, instead. Because of her changes, Jessica spent much of her time indoors after graduation, and eventually, developed OCD. This perhaps, coming from her next-door neighbor, Howie Mandel. Because of her health problems, Jessica Alba left Sin City for San Andreas on the West Coast. There, Jessica Alba got adjusted to her new abilities, such as Super Speed, Superhuman Strength, Super Durability, and ReAnimation. However, living in Rodeo in Los Santos, everyone was too high to notice what Jessica Alba suddently could do. With a strong interest in the Medical field, Alba attended Hollywood Upstairs Medical College and got a degree in "Hospitaltry". On her first day on the job, however, Jessica accidentally brought a dying acting agent back to life with her smile, when a coworker named Scott Baio told her how he used to be in show business and made her laugh accidently.
Early Acting Career[edit]
With her powers, Jessica Alba was able to get the acting agent to sign her and promised to make her a star in return for saving his life. This man was a young, then-unknown James Cameron. So, Jessica moved to Hollywood, California and started to work on both her Superhero Career, and her Acting Career. In the 90's Jessica got a small role in the 1995 movie, Phantoms playing Phantom #3. They liked her so much, the crew hired her as the role of Samus in the Nintendo video game, Metroid. During the game, no one knew that the 6'5" android they were playing as was a woman, until the end of the game.
In 1998, Jessica Alba had gotten her superheroics degree from DeVry Online. She first put her powers to work by smashing up the set of Batman and Robin and saving the world from the ultra-shitty Michael Bay film. Later that year, she got a recurring role as Jennifer England in the show, Sister, Sister, playing the best friend to the cuter Lowery Twin. (whatever happened to them?)
In 1999, Alba dyed her hair Blonde from Dark Brown in order to get more noticed in Hollywood. Because of this, Jessica Alba appeared in a bunch of small films in minor roles. Her most notable one was as "That 70's Girl" in the film, Into The Blue. In 2000, her old friend, James Cameron, made a sci-fi television series loosely based on the life and times of Jessica Alba. Titled, Dark Angel, the show took place in a Sin City bar and had starred Alba as Jessica Maxwell, playing a snarky bartender and occasional stripper in assless chaps at the bar. The show won Oustanding New Comedy Series at the 2001 Golden Globes.
The 2002, the show was canceled by Fox and Jessica took on many small superhero gigs as the hero Honey in order to pay rent. In 2003, Alba picked up her career by starring in the insirational docudramentary, "Sin City", about the lives of five young people, growing up in one of America's most dangerous cities. The docudramentary won five Oscars that year, one of which was won by Alba, as Best Supporting Actress, and the movie has inspired a popular graphic novel by Frank Miller, the famous beer maker, behind Miller beer. The award win launched Jessica Alba's career into superstardom.
Prominent Acting Career[edit]
2004 - 2005[edit]
In 2004, Jessica Alba was cast as the lead female role in the live action film adaptation of The Smurfs, playing Smurfette. She co-starred with Robin Williams (Poppa Smurf), Jake Gyllenhaal (Smarty Smurf) and Anna Nicole Smith (Anna Nicole Smurf). She later appeared in the live action movie version of The Peanuts, playing the adult love desire of Charlie Brown, played by Frankie Muniz.
In 2005, Jessica relunctantly took the role of Donna in the movie version of That 70's Show, entitled "That 70's Movie" after Laura Prepon dropped out, saying that "I'd rather eat cow turds than ever work with those losers, again!" However, much of the original cast had signed on, including Ashton Kutcher, Wilder Valderrama, and What's-His-Face Masterson. Topher Grace's role was played by Masterson's brother, who was on Malcolm in the Middle as Francis. This was due to Jessica's connection with her Peanuts co-star. On the set of the movie, Jessica Alba fell in love with and starting dating Mark Wahlberg, who has a cameo in the movie as the sheriff of Point Place, Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Topher went on to ruin Spider-Man 3 and Prepon went on to star in a quickly-canceled ABC drama. In July 2005, "That 70's Movie" opened at #1 at the box office, pulling in $21 Million and beating out ''The Honeymooners" and "Bewitched" movies.
The Playboy Scandal[edit]
After the premiere of these two movies, Jessica Alba appeared in an issue of Playboy magazine, as "Sex Pot of the Year", beating out Halle Berry and Victoria Beckham, who nobody knows who that is in this country. Alba demanded that Playboy had used her image and likeness without her promission (from her upcoming film, Skid Row, where she plays the princess to a skateboarding legend), and had ordered a Cease and Desist against Playboy, but Hugh Hefner was all "Like shit I am, bitch!" and continued to make a heavy profit on the issue. Jessica Alba planned on suing Hugh Hefner, however, she later dropped the lawsuit after receiving a personal apology from Playboy owner Hugh Hefner who agreed to make donations to two charities that Alba has supported. One was the No Fatties Alliance of America, which gave makeovers and diet programs to unattractive and out of shape males, age 18 to 50. The other was the Tits for Teens Program, a charity for flat-chested teenagers to afford breast implants.
The Fantastic Foursome[edit]
Jessica Alba, at this point in her career, had managed to juggle being an actress by day and playing a superhero at night, now under her new guise as the "Purple Cat". Later on in 2005, Sue Storm of the Fantastic Four sued Alba and others for stealing away her business and causing the Four to go into bankruptcy, as part of a Class Action suit. Jessica Alba insisted the group was losing success because of them just sucking so much, and not because of her involvement in the business. Alba always thought of the Fantastic Four as "mediocre, at best" superheroes. Having saved a group of schoolchildren from a burning building by herself, Jessica said that the Fantastic Four just "weren't that good."
I mean, who the hell cares about the Fantastic Four!? We have "Mr. Fantastic", whose main power is to stretch. "Oooh! Look at me! I'm going to stretch around you! Oooooh! I have all the abilities of a Rubber Band!" Then, we have Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman. She was originally created in the 1950's. So I guess that's saying the only time a woman is useful is when she's Invisible! They later upgraded her to have an invisible forcefield and manipulate energy fields, and even then, she still sucks!
And then we have, The Thing, a big, orange turd. I mean, even his name is unimpressing. I mean, a "thing" is something you call an object that you cannot name. So, we have a superhero who's so sucky, he doesn't even have a name. He's just that "thing." How lame is that? I mean, I guess his superpower is being all strong and all, but then, he really isn't even that strong. I mean, he's like the 10th strongest superhuman out there, behind The Hulk, Superman, Juggernaut, She-Hulk, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and three others I can't even think of, right now. He's not even up there that far.
The only half-way decent guy they've got is Johnny Storm. He's made of fire, he can shoot fire, and fly. And he's just "average", at best. I mean, isn't flying like a basic superpower? When you think of a "Superhero," isn't "flying"one of the top things you think of? I mean, for real! Johnny Storm would be the only one who could actually stand a chance to beat a supervillain by himself, if he wasn't such a wuss, that is. And kind of a loser, who's not even really that funny. But at least, he's a chauvinist. Even the four of them can just barely beat Dr. Doom, a nobody villain who can barely do anything. So, yeah, these four are supposed to be "Earth's Greatest Heroes"? I think not.
2006 - The Present[edit]
Alba hired green amazon and expert defense attorney Jennifer Garner as her lawyer. Elongated Man, stood as one of Alba's friends who knew her abilities. In early 2006, Judge Larry Seidlin ruled in favor of the individuals being put on trial, ruling that "the Fantastic Four, do indeed, suck." With all the mess that she got into, Jessica Alba decided to temporally retire from being a superheroine.
She decided to try her hand at directing and soon started dating Zach Braff of Scrubs. But only because he has superpowers too as "Daydreamer Boy", and hypnotized Alba into liking him. In 2006, Alba directed King King, Mission: Impossible 3, and "The Da Vinci Code". Hazed by critics everywhere for her directing skills, Jessica Alba returned to acting in the November 2006 hit film Skid Row. There, she co-starred with her old friend, James Cameron's little sister, Camereon Diaz. Ironically, Diaz went on to play the role of Sue Storm in the 2007 "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" movie, even though she was not a natural blonde, or skinny enough to pull off a convincing Sue Storm.
On December 25, 2006, Jessica Alba celebrated her 25th birthday, with a birthday bash in Los Angeles. When he failed to show up for this big event, Jessica Alba and Mark Wahlberg got into a fight and Alba ended up dumping him on New Year's Eve 2006.
In early 2007, Alba began working on the movie version of "Lonely Hearts", where she co-stars with Natalie Portman as two, nerdy, "unattractive" women who somehow can't meet a man. It was on the set of this movie, Jessica Alba got ambushed by a bunch of evil supervillains, including her Purple Cat arch nemesis, Dr. Colossus. It was there, Jessica first coined her now-popular catchphrase, "Somehow, I don't think this is happening to Natalie Portman!" Jessica/The Purple Cat eventually beat all of her would-be captors, but a movie set intern captured everything on his cell phone camera and posted the video on YouTube, where the phrase gained worldwide popularity, and spawned a series "I Don't Think This Is Happening To Natalie Portman!" imitation videos and tributes.
In June 2007, Jessica Alba started dating Morgan Freeman on the set of "The Narrator Movie." Claiming she has a thing for "older men," the two sparked chemistry on the set of their movie. When asked by Access Hollywood if she would like to have kids or not, Alba stated that she wanted to have no less than 12 children (one for each month of the year!). After only three months, though, Jessica Alba and Morgan Freeman broke up, claiming that he sleeps too much and that "eighteen hours of sleep a day is no way to do a relationship." "The Narrator Movie" opened November 2nd, 2007.
As of right now, Jessica Alba is currently dating me and me and her are doing just fine. You, however, are jealous and you want her all for yourself because things between you and Goldie didn't work out and now, she's all dead and you can't find her killer and all. Well, that's not my fault, Buddy.
Jessica Alba is currently shooting "Whiteout: The Movie!" and has just wrapped up shooting "Eye Eye, Captain!", "Sin City 2: Now 10% Bloodier!", and "The Comebacks". She also has a cameo appearance in the Rock Bottom movie playing herself, which is set for release in 2008.
Superheroism Career[edit]
Jessica's first act of heroism was to save the world from the film Batman and Robin. In 2002, Jessica Alba donned the Orange and Purple suit to become the superhero Honey, with an alias as "Honey Holly". Alba's biggest career note as "Honey", was saving the life of Missy Elliott when she tried to climb into a giant vat of hot Caramel.
In late 2004, Alba changed her superhero gimmick to being "The Purple Cat." Although she insisted that she was *not* the Purple Cat, despite her and Alba having the same height, body shape, hair, skin tone, and voice. However, during the premiere of Alba's "That 70's Movie," Paparazzi broke into her car trunk and found her outfit. They posted it on the internet, revealing the Purple Cat's secret idenitity was that of Jessica Alba. Alba repayed them back by hiring Storm to kill them in an "accidental" snow avalanche in Beverly Hills. Later that year, she saved a group of New York schoolchildren from a burning building because Spider-Man had temporally retired from the business. However, Peter Parker was seen running into the building to assist Jessica Alba. But only cause he thought it'd impress her.
In 2005, Alba was sued by the Fantastic Four for stealing away their business. Toward the end of 2005, Jessica amongst other superheroes, including Elongated Man won the case with help from Jennifer Garner.
In 2006, Jessica Alba won "Superheroine of the Year" at the Supies awards show.
In 2007, all of Jessica Alba/ The Purple Cat's enemies tried ambushing her backstage, including Dr. Colossus, The Spider Queen, Shego, Bowling Ball Boy, Port Man, The Lazy Gator, Lindsey Lohan, and The Male and Female Siamese Twins. With help from Natalie Portman, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Bart Man, The Purple Cat beat all her enemies in one final showdown. It was here, Jessica Alba coined her now-famous catchphrase, "I Don't Think This Is Happening To Natalie Portman!"
Later in 2007, Jessica Alba and her Purple Cat superhero persona was officially offered a spot in the Justice League. Alba turned down the prestigious position though, stating "I only do Marvel. Sorry, DC."
Jessica Alba is still fighting crime, kicking butt, and taking names as the Purple Cat, but at a far less rate now than ever before, due to her film career. She has made amends with her Fantastic Four foes and now has hired them as her "personal crimefighting assistants". You can see their work on their own Cartoon Network reality series, "Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes".

Lots of players—including Kotaku's own Tina Amini—think that Halo 4 needs more maps. 343 Industries has said that additional multiplayer environments are coming but hasn't clued anyone in as to the exact arrival times. But the screenshot above from a German Xbox 360 dashboard appears to reveal dates for the next three sets of maps for the sci-fi FPS.
The news surfaced over on Halo Council,where the Crimson, Majestic and Castle DLCs get attached to December 10th, February 25th and April 1st. The dashboard screen advertises a War Games Map Pass, which goes for 2,000 MS points or $25 in the U.S. Kotaku has reached out to Microsoft for confirmation and will update if they respond.

Check DNPric.es
It lists 300,000+ historic sales in the past 14+ years.
According to the stats page: dnpric.es/stats/
""" Our database has 315,461 sale records of 301,603 domain names totaling $1,135,277,224.00. """
This is at least four times more than famous Ron's database.
The site has an amazing stats section where you can fish for tonnes of interesting information.
E.g., dnpric.es/stats/stats-by-tld/?tld
.ME is #6, topping even .info, .eu, .me, .tv and .co ...
.COM is still the king with more than half of the sales (this correlates with the number of domain names).
Basically you can narrow down the whole industry to five big players, than another few dozens of boutiques.
You can see that overall average prices are falling.
Especially those for .com: dnpric.es/stats/stats-by-year/?hidemonthly&tld=com
But then this year it started to improve.
Interestingly, average prices for LLLLL names are higher than those for LLLL and LLL names.
Average historic price for five letter domain names (LLLLL.***) is $6,060.81.
That for LLLL is $3,641.76.
And that for LLL is $5,653.34.
Looks like names that are too short but not ultra short (two characters) have somewhat less value than those of five characters. A paradox that intuitively I am still struggling to explain.
This is the longest known domain name sold (xn--private-krankenversicherung-fr-selbstndige-6sd16h.de a.k.a. private-krankenversicherung-für-selbständige.de).
And much...much more.

80 Outstanding Parallax Scrolling Website Templates
March 21, 2014 Web Development 6 Comments
One of the trends in web design that catches so much heat is parallax scrolling. Technically, parallax scrolling is a technique in computer graphics that creates an illusion of depth producing in the process a nice 3D animated effect. This is achieved by having the background images move in a slower pace than the ones in the foreground. Right now, web designers are adopting the technique and the result of their work is simply astounding. Parallax scrolling websites really tend to be interactive and

I've decided that I'm going to change my real-life name.
I quite like the name "Mark" for a first-name, and "Read" is a not-uncommon surname in these parts.
In a departure from normal conventions, I've decided that a middle name of "Forums" would be quite distinctive, given the amount of time I spend here.

The primary goal of the joint degree JD/MS program at DePaul University College of Law and DePaul University College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) is to prepare students for successful legal and related careers in industry, government, and other institutions that develop innovations, engage in electronic commerce, employ information technologies, and manage and protect information and data. A critical need exists for attorneys in a wide range of fields involving software development, high-technology innovations, information processing, internet and telecommunications services, digital-content, etc. Lawyers are needed to provide advice, counseling , and litigation services regarding: the acquisition of and licensing of intellectual property rights; the assertion and defense of such rights; regulations governing the use, protection and preservation of information; and contractual and business practices in the high-tech sector. Graduates who have a substantive understanding of legal and technological issues regarding e-commerce, information technologies, e-discovery, computational finance, network security, digital media, or related computer science fields will have a substantial advantage in obtaining and flourishing in such positions. Graduates with the joint degree will be better prepared to be: drafters, negotiators, and litigators when seeking to obtain and protect inventions, trademarks, analog and digital creations, internet websites, and domain names; advisors concerning licensing, reverse engineering, or reusing computer software, expressive, or functional media; and managers when developing policies governing the acquisition, preservation and dissemination of information for their clients and within their own institutions.
The joint JD/MS program allows students to obtain dual degrees in both law and computer science fields with only one additional year of study beyond the regular JD program and with a minimum of additional expense. The program is designed for all students who wish to deepen their technical expertise while also obtaining a law degree.
Some of the students completing the joint JD/MS degree will seek to become members of the patent bar. There are also a large number of opportunities (including as patent litigators and licensors) for graduates who either lack the scientific or technical background required to qualify for the patent bar exam or lack the desire to practice patent law. (Membership in the patent bar is required only to file and prosecute patent applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office; it is not a general requirement for patent law practice.) The MS in Computer Science does not itself provide a degree that currently qualifies students to take the patent bar exam, but may provide relevant course work toward fulfilling eligibility requirements. (Applicants are advised to consult the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's General Requirements Bulletin.)
Characteristics of the joint JD/MS program include:
Learn more about admission to this program.
Full-time students must complete the regular first year JD program with a minimum GPA of 3.0 before being admitted to the Joint Degree. Part-time students must complete at least three law semesters with a minimum GPA of 3.0
before being admitted to the Joint Degree. The second and third years provide some flexibility to tailor a student's program. For example, students might take three law courses in the Fall Semester and two law courses in the Spring Semester, while taking one CDM course in the Fall Quarter, two CDM courses in the Winter Quarter, and two CDM courses in the Spring Quarter. The fourth year might consist of three law courses in the Fall Semester, one CDM course in the Fall Quarter, three CDM courses in the Winter Quarter, and three CDM courses in the Spring Quarter.
This schedule allows for completion of the JD as well as completion of 14 CDM courses (the MS program plus four prerequisite courses) in four years. It is possible that, because of prerequisite coursework, the program may take some students more than four years. Since each student will require a different number of CDM prerequisites and each student will select courses based on semester/quarter availability, any particular curriculum might be different from the above-described curriculum. Students are encouraged to select courses with the assistance of the program advisors at both the College of Law and CDM.
Each program listed above follows the requirements as listed on the page for that major. These requirements are divided into phases. Upon completion of the major requirements, each student will move to the Elective Phase as described below.
Students with a GPA of 3.9 or higher will graduate from CDM with distinction.
College of Law Certificate Programs: In addition to the Joint Degree, students may obtain one of the Certificates offered by the College of Law, providing that they have met the requirements for the Certificate.
For DePaul's policy on repeat graduate courses and a complete list of academic policies see the DePaul Graduate Handbook in the Course Catalog.

What are you trying to sync to, Outlook? What software are you using to sync with?
I too am a newbie on this with several questions, and even after searching about this I'm at a loss. I have an SL-C1000 also, with Cacko full package, and want to sync to Palm Desktop v4.2 on an XP machine if possible. The questions that occur to me:
1) Apparently some people use Intellisync. I didn't notice that in my package, I suppose it is on the CD from Conics but it looks all Japanese to me so is useless. So, where do I get English language Intellisync?
2) I see a "PC Link" application in the Zaurus. Is that what communicates with Intellisync on the PC, or is it completely independent of it? What database does it sync with? It allows a choice of PC link (apparently two USB protocols, in host mode or client mode I wonder) or syncing via card. Is that latter one like if you have your PIM files on a card, or something like that?
I will keep digging around to see if I can find what the best recipe is. I noticed these comments on an SL-C3000 review:
Sharp includes a version of Intellisync on the CDs that come with the Zaurus but the program is in Japanese and thus virtually impossible to use for English speaking users. You can install an English version that you can get online but you must be sure and install the hardware drivers that come on the Zaurus CD. Once doing this Intellisync runs in English and will synchronize the Zaurus PIM information to Outlook or Palm Desktop. I had a lot of problems throughout my evaluation of the Zaurus with this synchronization which might be due to my complicated Outlook setup on the desktop. Some users report no problems syncing with the desktop and others are never successful getting their PIM data onto the Z, so this is an area that needs some improvement. Once the drivers are installed you can connect the Zaurus to your desktop using the included USB cable, and the Z appears as a removable drive on the Windows desktop which is a handy way to get files back and forth. This is much easier than using ActiveSync on a Pocket PC.

The PC link app sets the zaurus up to be a usb flash drive (storage) or for usb syncing. I believe there are some english intellisync software around, but I do not remember exactly where. Once the intellisync is installed both the pc link on the Z and the intellisync on the pc will talk to each other.
The software will sync the dtm (sharp's default pim data) files on the Z with outlook on the PC (was there other options like lotus notes? I don't remember). There is also a qtopia desktop that the older versions used to sync to, but I don't know if the new Zs do anymore.
The main trick is finding the right driver/english intellisync combo that works

I just noticed this page has an interesting procedure:
Look in the page for the word "intellisync".
Gee, is there anything "Hd Luc" has not done and documented? I'm impressed...
I guess I will give it a try. Didn't say if it syncs with Palm Desktop though.
Looks like there is other useful USB networking info there, too. Apparently you aren't stuck with using only FAT on your cards after all, if you access the files on the cards through this network.

Well, I did try it. Now I have a Japanese Intellesync on my computer.
According to that site:
The Zaurus Software for the PC (Windows) does not use UniCode and hence displays garbage when run on an English version of Windows (even if you have installed the Japanese language pack and your browser can display Japanese websites without problems). To fix this, change the default Windows system locale to Japanese and restart Windows. Then run X:\PCSOFT\Setup.exe from the Zaurus CD-ROM and you will be able to read the Japanese.
I couldn't figure out what he meant, because in the Control Panel application "Regional and Language Options" there was nothing called "locale". So I just ignored this part and proceeded. It looked like Intellisync and the NDIS drivers installed (the two items I asked for), and I now have that Zaurus Manager on the task bar. I changed the hostname in Zaurus Manager to "QQ" and the host IP to 192.168.129.101 (I'm assuming, maybe wrongly, those fields refer to the PC, not the Zaurus). But when I go into PC Link on the Zaurus, and try to set it to USB-TCP/IP (advanced) mode (which has to match the mode on the Zaurus Manager in the PC), I get an error "AlertUSB" and it does not accept the change.
Anyone run into this?
I found this thread:
which is useful, and explained about that AlertUSB error (need to pull the USB cable before making changes).
Also there was an interesting link to some instructions that explain how to install this stuff:
Following those instructions, everything worked up till the telnet, which failed. Also a ping from the Zaurus to the PC fails. The device manager does see the "SL Series Ver 3" in the network adapters, and in my network connections window, I see that it is connected.
Well, I'll keep digging around, maybe I can find the problem.

Does anyone know what IP address I'm supposed to put into the PC Link applet on the Zaurus, and what address into the Zaurus Manager applet on the PC? That is, are they supposed to be the same address, or different?
I'm getting both indications from the different docs I've read.

Another update.
I did use the same IP address in both places. Seemed to work (see below).
I found some threads where people said to try the 5500 Intellisync from the Sharp USA site. I did that and have gotten further! I now get some communication between the Z and the PC, and the sync starts. But then it gets that message about not finding the Palm desktop software. I found a thread saying the older Palm desktop software was installed under C:, the newer under C:Program Files, and the guy with that problem found some older Palm Desktop software that went under C: and got it to work that way. I'm not crazy about that even if I could find the old stuff. I wonder if the new stuff gives an option where it installs? But even if it does, what happens to all my contact files, etc.?
Oh, also on the sync setup, the Intellisync does not seem aware of several fields in the contacts of the new Palm Desktop.
BTW the Trisoft procedure at one point suggested trying to telnet to the Z to check the communication, but I have yet to get that to work. But the connection seems to be there anyway. Ping works from the Z too. I now have to deal with this other problem.
Geez, this is like pulling teeth.

Found some more information:
I'm having problems sync'ing with Windows XP.
Problems usually arise with Windows XP because of improper settings for one reason or another.
Try these installation checks and procedures after you have installed the Intellisync software.
1) On the ZAURUS – Go to the Settings tab – Network&Sync-Sync tab and verify the USB IP address is 192.168.129.201. Click Apply
2) Dock the Zaurus in the cradle (ensure the USB connection is in the PC)
3) Go to Start-control panel-Network Connections. Verify that there is a LAN CONNETION and that it is 'enabled' for SL SERIES NDIS 5
4) Right click on the SL SERIES NDIS 5 and go to Properties. Under the Advanced Tab ensure that Firewall setting is disabled.
5) Go to Start-All Programs-Accessories-Command prompt
6) At the command prompt type 'ipconfig' . Verify that IP address for the LAN CONNECTION # (which corresponded with SL Series Ndis 5 has an IP address of 192.168.129.1
7) Type 'ping 192.168.129.201' . Verify you get a 'REPLY from 192.168.129.201 …' Control-C breaks out
8) push the Syncronize button on the cradle
9) On the System tray – right click Intellisync and go to Synchronize (Make sure Synchronize options have been set)
So the PC's address is 192.168.129.1. I tried pinging this from the Z and it worked. Likewise I can ping the Z's address, 192.168.129.201, from the PC (using "ping" in a DOS window). So everything appears to be communicating.
I've had no luck with syncing yet though. I thought of syncing Palm Desktop to Outlook (which Palm Desktop can do), and then Outlook to the Z (so as to work around my problem with the location of the Palm software), but to do that I'd have to install Outlook.

It would be awesome if someone could explain how to sync to a PC running Windows when your Z is running OpenZaurus.

On April 15, 1861, just days after the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter, President Abraham Lincoln issued a call for 75,000 volunteers. Connecticut was required to supply one regiment.
Men from all over the state responded in droves to a proclamation by Gov. William A. Buckingham. In a matter of weeks, the state had filled three infantry regiments with 2,394 soldiers.
"When the opening shots were fired on April 12, 1861, the reaction in Connecticut among many people was one of outrage," said Walter L. Powell, a historian based in Gettysburg, Pa. "Even many residents who weren't thrilled with the idea of a war to end slavery were upset that the American flag had been fired on."
An article in the Hartford Daily Courant on April 23 detailed an enthusiastic response from all over the state.
Four companies, "two Irish, one American and one German," had formed in Meriden. The New London Bank offered $2,500 to Buckingham for the war, and "the town is wide awake and full of enthusiasm," the article said.
In Norwich, "The beating of drums, marching and drilling of military companies, the display of flags and fluttering of bunting, the presence of unusual crowds in all the streets, the hum of labor where the uniforms of volunteers were being made, the earnestness and enthusiasm that seemed to animate the multitude, all combined to make such a sabbath that will long be remembered," read the article, titled "The War Feeling In The State."
On April 23, the first regiment of the Connecticut Volunteer Infantry was mustered for three months of service. By May 14, the second and third regiments were set.
Joseph R. Hawley, an editor at the Hartford Evening Press, was arguably the very first volunteer in the state, said Matthew Warshauer, a history professor at Central Connecticut State University and author of "Connecticut in the Civil War: Slavery, Sacrifice and Survival."
"When Hawley hears the word of Fort Sumter being fired upon, he literally puts down what he's doing and says, 'I'm going to help raise a regiment,' " Warshauer said.
Hawley helped recruit volunteers for the 1st Connecticut Regiment, and started as the first lieutenant of Rifle Company A of Hartford. At the end of three months, Hawley re-enlisted with the 7th Connecticut Regiment, eventually becoming a major general.
Hawley served through the entire war, Warshauer said, and the staunch Republican became governor in 1866. He was later elected to Congress and served as a U.S. senator from 1881 until his death in 1905.
At first, most people believed the war would be a quick one.
"[The first few regiments] are only mustered in for three months," Warshauer said. "That really gives you a great indication of how long people think this is going to be — that it's going to be this quickie thing".
Of course, they were wrong. The war lasted until 1865 and about 620,000 soldiers were killed.
"On the eve of the Civil War, neither the North nor the South could anticipate that this would be such a long war and that there would be such a demand for weapons and that the nature of warfare was going to change," Powell said.
The early troops were not well-prepared to fight. The combination of colonial-era battle tactics and new, powerful weapons made this conflict "the last of the old wars and the first of the new ones," Powell said.
"Initially there are all kinds of issues in the camps," Warshauer said. "[The volunteers] have to be organized and put into uniforms and taught how to fire their weapons. It becomes a real challenge because these are civilians and they're expected to be soldiers."
In early May, the Connecticut regiments boarded steamships and headed for the nation's capital.
"The big emergency is to get troops down to Washington because they're worried that the confederacy is going to march on Washington," Warshauer said. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Connecticut regiments were all stationed around Washington, D.C.
On July 21, the three regiments took part in the first Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Va., their only battle, and the first major battle of the war. It was an unexpected, shocking defeat for the Union troops.
"One of the problems was, not only that they didn't expect the scale of the kind of battle they'd be in — both sides were not very well-prepared and casualties were a quick reminder that the war wouldn't be over in a few days — but also that better training, more men and better weapons would be needed," Powell said.
Warshauer said: "The really interesting thing is Bull Run is in mid- to late July, so [the regiments'] service is close to being up … And they're all itching to go [and win the battle]. And then they go down and get demolished and the union retreats, and they lose the battle."
Sgt. John Marsh, a member of the 3rd Connecticut regiment from Danbury, was the first combat casualty from the state, Powell said.
"The realities of war were made even clearer when the troops who had enlisted for three months returned home," Warshauer said in his book. "When the men of the First Regiment clambered off the 'Elm City' steamship on the morning of July 28, the Courant reported, 'The men presented the most dusty, tired and ragged aspect that we have ever witnessed in a large body of men. They went off with new and bright uniforms, wearing a martial and imposing aspect; they came back ragged and dirty.'"
When reports of the severity of the battle reached home, "both sides realized they're going to need to take the war more seriously," Powell said. Arms manufacturers ramped up production, and troops had to train further on new weapons.
"The standard for both sides was really European military tactics — to march in formation, to fight in formation," Powell said. "In 1861, the new weapons — rifles — had an effective killing range of 600 yards. The ability of the officers to even comprehend what they were using hadn't really caught up.
"They're used to American Revolution weapons [that could shoot 100 yards]. They could walk across an open field because the opponent would have to be pretty close." In addition, heavy artillery such as mortars caused levels of destruction that had not yet been seen.
Troops from both sides continued to see unprecedented casualties, shocking them with the realities of war. Four Connecticut regiments fought in the Battle of Antietam on Sept. 17, 1862, the single bloodiest battle in American history, with 23,100 casualties.
"There are more men on both sides who are killed on that day than on any other day in American history," Warshauer said.
By that time, the state had many more regiments. The 8th, 11th, 14th and 16th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry regiments all took part at Antietam.
"The 14th and 16th Connecticut regiments were brand-new regiments coming into service," Warshauer said. "They had really, really limited training, and the first battle they fought in was Antietam. They got decimated and it was really, really sad. So that was their first experience of war.
"When they are first going into it, there's all that kind of inexperienced excitement — flags flying in, going after the rebels. Though it's considered a Union victory, there's so much bloodshed."
The divisions had been mustered into service on Aug. 17 and Aug. 23, 1862, respectively.
After Antietam, Samuel Fiske, a minister from Madison and member of the 14th regiment, wrote that he could walk across the battlefield without ever touching the ground because there were so many wounded and dead men, Warshauer said.
Months later, in December, the 14th went fought in the Battle of Fredericksburg, another devastating Union loss.
"The story of the 14th in particular — their first experiences of war are just horrible," Warshauer said.
By 1863, the enthusiasm of the initial volunteers had waned. Images of valor and victory had been replaced by ones of extreme hardship and tragic defeat.
"By the midpoint in the war, the casualties were getting horrific and people weren't signing up," Powell said.
At that point, Connecticut had mustered 28 regiments into service, with the 28th assembled on Nov. 15, 1862.
On March 3, 1863, Lincoln signed the Enrollment, or Conscription, Act, instating the first draft in U.S. history, about a year after the confederacy did the same.
On April 15, 1861, just days after the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter, President Abraham Lincoln issued a call for 75,000 volunteers. Connecticut was required to supply one regiment.

Why I Love and Use Zondle in the Classroom
"Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game." By Michael Jordan
Recently when presenting about some of my favorite sites I use in the classroom (Zondle being one of them), someone asked, 'Which site would you suggest to start using first in the classroom.' Without thinking twice I said Zondle.
I was introduced to Zondle thought a Twitter chat. After the chat I went to the site and the first thing I noticed that got me really excited was that it said, 'Zondle is FREE ,and always will be!' That is music to any teachers ears, so I decide to create an account and see what it was all about. Below are the top reasons why I love using Zondle in the classroom!
1. You can create your own content which is what they call topics and match it to anyone of their games! They have tons of games to choose from. I have created topics for all subject areas such as math and science and for all grade levels, K-5. You can make the questions multiple choice, true or false, question and answer. I use the quick insert, this is where you have flexibility to add as many questions to the topic as you want verse doing one at a time. With that being said, you can make as many questions as you want as well! Make 5, 10, 50…it is up to you! When you think the students are tired of the game, then you can just switch the game but not the topic's content! Creating your own topic/content is a great way to differentiate in your classroom as well. You make the content based on their needs.
2. Many content topics are already created. You can easily search the topic and review the content. If you like the questions then you can use that topics. If you want to edit it, you can, and make the content fit your needs. Just like when you created a topic match it up to a game and you are done. You can become 'friends' with other teachers in your school or around the world and see what topics they have created and use their already created topics and games.
3. You can embed into your website or wiki. Once you have created or chosen a game. Click on embed into my website and it will give you the widget code for you to embed. Yes, it is that easy!
4. You can progress monitor your students two ways. One way is if you have embedded the game into your website then you can have the students record their progress on a progress monitoring sheet. After each game you complete, a percentage comes up such as 85%. Have the students record their data. You can also contact Zondle (Dougie) and he will help you set up your school and classroom so you can progress monitor through their site as well.
5. Once you have created a class the students can go into Zondle using their username and password and play the games you have created at school or at home. You can assign the games for homework and see who completed it or not based on the progress monitoring system and leader boards.
6. It is easy to use and if you get stuck there are video tutorials that walk you though how to do something. Usually at the top of the page but all tutorials can be found at the bottom of their site as well. They also have a help section and they respond in a very timely matter (one time it was within minutes) to all of your questions and comments. Zondle is always improving their site by listening to what teachers and students wants are.
7. Zondle has now created an App! With Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) coming to must classrooms, this is a great feature to have as the app works for most devices from iPads, Androids to laptops.
8. The students love it! Who wouldn't rather play a game of 10 questions verse a worksheet!
9. You can adapt Zondle to fit any language. One thing to keep in mind is Zondle originates from the UK so some words to Americans might be spelled different or terms used differently such as favourite (favorite). This is a great way to teach students about global awareness.
10. You can create your own games. I haven't created my own game yet but that is in the works and is a great feature!
Many of the teachers in my school use Zondle and love it as much as I do. If you haven't tried Zondle I highly recommend you do!

Winter is finally coming to a close! The first two months (June/ July) were very cold, with heavy frosts, which were much worse than last year, damaging all the fresh new growth on the citrus trees (first photo) and almost completely destroying our beautiful native frangipanis, which had been doing so well (second photo). Hopefully, they will recover this Spring!Most of the salvias in the Moon Bed, a large area of agapanthus slope (1st photo) and the giant bamboo and the pots of succulents, daisies and aloe vera were also hit, and even the pink rock orchid (2nd photo) and the elkhorn (3rd photo), both of which should have been safe in their relatively protected positions! Luckily, they are both tough and show signs of recovery.Heavy frost certainly sorts out your plant selection! Only the tough survive!!Winter frosts also mean blue and gold sunny days and cold Winter nights and while the Winter Garden takes a holiday from blooming, we still did plenty of work in the garden, preparing for the new season, as well as exploring the local area and enjoying the Winter fires (both in the house and a friend's bonfire night) and indoor activities.
I will start this post with an overall review of the garden in each month, followed by a recap of our garden jobs; creative pursuits and exploratory days out.June saw the end of the Autumn foliage (1st photo above of the Japanese Maple), a bounty of ivy berries for the bowerbirds (2nd photo above) and the last of the late roses. The photos below are, in order: Stanwell Perpetual; and David Austin roses, Heritage and LD Braithwaite.from which I made my birthday bouquet below: David Austin Roses: Heritage; Eglantyne; Fair Bianca; and William Morris; Feverfew; purple and white Dames' Rocket; violets; Ziva Paperwhites and Buddleja foliage. From then on, it was vases of violets and Winter bulbs: Galanthus; Erlicheer and Ziva Paperwhites, all of which are flourishing in their new positions and naturalising well. Other June bloomers included: Primulas and Primroses; Winter Honeysuckle and Winter Jasmine; and Japanese Anemones and Wallflowers. Lots of whites; purples; lemons and yellows, with sharp sweet clean scents! The bees just adore the wallflowers!There were also the richer colours of gold and red in the Hill Banksia and the Grevillea. The first crop of our citrus was also very encouraging, though I should have harvested the limes and lemonades earlier before the frost damaged them! Seen below are photos of our lime tree; lemon crop (cumquats in background) and lemonade tree. I was very impressed with the sweetness of our first and only Navel Orange!In July, I was also very excited to see the emergence of our first Winter Aconite, which I had bought at great expense from Moidart Rare Plants last Spring, planted in the Treasure Bed and then waited for signs of life for months, resigning myself to the thought of having totally lost it! Now, it needs to multiply, then I will try naturalising it in the bird bath lawn with the Galanthus, which enjoys similar requirements.By late July, the leucojums (photo above) and hellebores had joined in. The first photo below is the corner of my neighbour's garden by our shed. I can't wait till our hellebores spread like that!! While I love the single form of Helleborus orientalis (above), I'm rather partial to the double forms: Purple, White and Red; as well as the rarer species hellebores: Helleborus x ballardiae 'Pink Frost'.The japonicas, daphne and camellias also really picked up their game in early August, having been a bit shy to shine this year! I felt they bloomed much earlier last year with its milder Winter. The first photo below is the view from our bedroom window!I was delighted to have more flowers for the house.While June and July can sometimes feel a bit long, I love the quickening pace of August with its increasing day length, resulting in miniscule changes in the garden, which gives such a sense of hope, anticipation and excitement: The tiny leaf buds swelling on the trees (photo is the quince tree), shrubs and roses; The shooting of tulips and iris in the cutting garden, naturalised bluebells, crocus and Poets' daffodils in the lawn and hyacinth and grape hyacinth in the treasure bed; and the celebratory blooming of miniature Tête à Tête daffodils and golden Winter Sun; Magnificent golden Wattle; Early Spring blossoms: Crab Apple; Plum and Birch; And the blooms of forget-me-knots, golden-centred white paper daisies and begonias.The birds are also revelling in the return of Spring! While the Winter trees were full of Currawongs, Crimson Rosella and Grey Butcher Birds (photos above in order), the tiny Striated Pardalotes have returned to the Pepperina tree, where their beautiful song marks the return of Spring.Eastern Spinebills and Yellow-faced Honeyeaters are also enjoying the August sun.The Bowerbirds have been feasting in great numbers on the new loquat crop, stealing a march on the Summer flying foxes!They also enjoy a swim in the bird bath, when not picking off my erlicheer blooms!
The magpies have been busy building their nest high in the Pepperina tree since late July. Can you see it up there? Despite their vicious swooping assaults on any large bird foolish enough to come anywhere near their territory, they are incredible quiet with us, often waiting patiently within a metre of us while weeding for an easy meal.I was very excited with the return of last year's baby White-faced Herons, to check out the old family home in the cottonwood poplar. We are crossing our fingers that they will nest there again, despite the magpies' plans to the contrary! They seem to think that they own all the trees in the garden – in fact, quite possibly our house as well, though Oliver (2nd and 3rd photo below) might have something to say about that! The nurturing aspects and bird-viewing potential of our neighbour's giant tree makes up for its vigorous, and dishearteningly constant, propensity to shoot out roots deep into the soil under our vegetable beds! Raised vegetable beds are definitely part of our future garden plans!Winter is a great time to clean up the old garden and prepare for the new season! Weeding has been a major job: the aforementioned battle between the cottonwood poplar and our vegetable garden; the Cutting Garden ( 1st photo); the Soho Bed (2nd photo) and Moon Bed; and the new Shed Garden.We pruned all the old messy and dead growth: the feverfew and dames' rocket in the Cutting Garden and the salvias and Paris daisy in the Moon Bed; the hydrangeas in late June and all the roses in late July; and lastly, all the old dead wood of the feral and incredibly prickly Duranta, creating a new semi-shady area to grow a white shrub bed, as well as lots of work, cleaning away all the lethal spiky offcuts! We transplanted the Viburnum mariesii plicatum, which was struggling in its old position in full shade; the white lilac, which really was out of place and would have eventually been too large for its location, and four Annabel hydrangea rooted cuttings from my sister's garden at Glenrock. The neighbour's cats were fascinated by this brand new garden, but I'm not sure how their feet fared! The tubs were protecting my Galanthus from being demolished by trampling feet as well!We also transplanted the pomegranate and red azalea from the bottom of the garden to the entrance of the main pergola and the red border of the native garden respectively to make room for a future garden shed, which will hopefully be built in the next few months.Winter is a great time for garden planning and reorganization, as well as for building structures! Ross has built a fantastic rose frame, using steel posts and weld mesh from old gates, against the old shed wall to support and effectively control our Albertine ramblers, which would otherwise take over the camping flat completely! I can't wait to see the future wall of salmon pink roses!We dug up the area underneath for a mixed dahlia bed, the plants hiding the bare legs of the climbing roses and blooms taking up the baton after the Albertine has finished. This decision has also freed up the old dahlia bed for a future Brassica crop, though we have reserved the front third for Iceland poppies!We also finally put up the weld mesh on the top of the Main Pergola to support this year's Summer growth of the climbing roses!Ross is getting very organized in the vegie garden! He has defined the edges of the vegetable and cutting garden beds with old weatherboards; Confined all the raspberry plants to their own bed near the compost heap; planted two more blueberries, all in different stages (leaf bud; flowers; and Autumn foliage!); Transplanted the rhubarb, asparagus and Russian tarragon to the new perennial vegetable garden (the northeast bed, which grew tomatoes and raspberries last year) and the snow peas to the corner of the compost heap, allowing some to stay and climb up the raspberries; pruned the old raspberry canes, transplanting the new Heritage runners to their own run and extending the old run with the Chilcotin and Chilliwack varieties; and sown Calendula seed at the front of the bed. In the remaining space of the perennial bed, he will plant pumpkins and zucchinis, letting them rambler down the bottom corner. He will then rotate between the two old main beds, which will grow potatoes (with later cucumbers) and beans, carrots, beetroot, with the current parsley and rocket in one bed; and kale, silverbeet, shallots, snow peas and lettuce and the two new ex-cutting garden beds, which will house early Spring brassicas (cabbage, cauliflower and brussel sprouts), and solanums (tomatoes, capsicum and aubergines) this year, though he has promised to allow any self-sown sunflowers or zinnias from the old beds to co-exist. Here are photos of our Winter vegie bed, with kale; ornamental chard; snow peas; broccoli; Spring onions and carrot seedlings just up!Meanwhile, I have been busy with the flower beds! I have transplanted overcrowded self-seeded rose campion and catmint to their new positions in the Moon and Soho Beds; planted gold and soft purple Bearded Iris to the back of the shed beds; and created a complete silver ring of Lambs' Ear to define the border of the Soho Bed. Stachys lanata is so tough, it didn't even miss a beat on division and transplantation and, once established, will certainly make it difficult for any external invasion of weeds and grass! I love the downy soft feel of its foliage! We planted our new roses from Thomas Roses in the Shed Bed (Mme Hardy; York and Lancaster; Rosa Mundi and Chapeau de Napoleon); on the flat (Maigold) and on the Main Pergola (Souvenir de St Anne). Ross also dug up an area on the terrace under the Pepperina tree and divided the old clivia clumps, so we can enjoy a swathe of orange in Summer.This month, we have started sowing seed in punnets under a plastic poly-tunnel on the warm path for plants to be later transplanted after the frosts: Heartsease (already up) and Scabiosa; Aquilegia and Honesty; Green Nicotiana and Gaillardia, which has already emerged at two weeks; Yarrow and Echinaceae; and Sea Holly and Green Wizard Coneflower, though we should have read the fine print on the latter, as we later discovered that they need a constant 20 degrees Celsius to allow them to germinate! In lieu of an incubator tray, we have been carting them in and out of the house each day!!!We have also sown seed directly in the garden: Nigella, Miss Jekyll Blue, and pink oriental poppies, Princess Victoria Louise, in the Soho and Moon Beds (photo below); Cerinthe major and burgundy-blue-and white mixed cornflowers ('Fireworks') in the shed garden; and Iceland poppies in the cutting garden (and third of the potato bed, as they are one if Ross's favourite flowers!!!) You can see why I can't wait for Spring!!!The Winter kitchen has also been a hive of activity with a first batch of lime cordial, made from our very own limes; 28 jars of cumquat marmalade from 6.6 kg fruit, with still more setting and ripening on the trees!; and making lemon cupcakes for a birthday, as well as lots of warming Winter soups!On the colder, greyer days, I have enjoyed embroidering diatoms on a felt; discovered the joys of making cords using a Kumihimo disc; learnt to crochet a flower chain; and made another embroidery roll for a friend.The majority of the days have had blue-and-gold days, as in sunny blue skies, perfect for exploring our beautiful local area:
Haycocks Point;Canoeing on the Murrah River to the Murrah Lagoon and the sea, where architect, Philip Cox, built his holiday home;Exploring Bombala and Delegate, platypus country and part of the ancient aboriginal pathway, the Bundian Way;Visiting On the Perch, Tathra, with its amazing range of birds, organized into their different environments, including this Emerald Dove and Maud, the Tawny Frogmouth; Zoe loved feeding all the birds!Hiking from Bittangabee Bay to Hegarty's Bay, part of the Light to Light Walk from Boyds Tower to Green Cape Lighthouse in the Ben Boyd National Park;Discovering Penders, the property owned by businessman Ken Myers and architect Sir Roy Grounds, which was donated to National Parks in 1976 and is now part of Mimosa Rocks National Park, with its amazing views from the Bum Seat, photographed below, of Bithry Inley and the sea; and fascinating history and built environment, including Roy Ground's tepee–like outdoor eating area, The Barn, and his geodesic dome structure; the magnificent Spotted Gum and Macrozamia forests and old orchard, with huge old camellia trees in full bloom; as well as the beautiful coastal walk to Middle Beach, with golden banksias against the blue blue sea and our first 'echidna train'. Apparently, during the mating season in July and August, one female will be followed by two to ten males, until she tires and the first in line gets lucky! According to the ranger on the track, echidnas are also very active just before rain and sure enough, three days later, it did rain! This quiet Swamp Wallaby kept us company over our picnic lunch.Other Winter highlights included my birthday (What a cake!!! Thank you, Chris!); and a visit to Canberra for an interesting woodcut exhibition at the National Library of Australia, 'Melodrama in Meiji Japan' (see: https://www.nla.gov.au/meiji). We also popped into our favourite nursery, where we bought some tuberoses to plant in September after the frost. I just adore their scent, but will have to plant them away from the frost!We finished the Winter with a local orchid show at Merimbula with some stunning plants and an incredible range of form and colour.Next week, I am returning to one of my favourite rose types, the Noisettes. I will leave you with a Winter miracle, the humble spider's web!

National Parks
Take a deep breath and have a seat as we begin to inspire you with images of some of the most beautiful protected natural areas in Spain; those that any friend would insist on seeing if you are coming on holiday.Below you can find information on Spain's 15 National Parks. If you click on any one of them you will find a photo gallery, complete with their locations and a list of activities you can do at them.These National Parks are found all throughout Spain (10 are on the peninsula, four in the Canary Islands and one in the Balearic Islands), meaning that it will be easy to visit them during your stay.The views offered by them all will leave you breathless and the variety of landscapes is astonishing. You can find everything from mountainous areas in National Parks such as Picos de Europa y Ordesa and Monte Perdido to over 200 lakes in the Aigüestores i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, marshes that are a refuge for thousands of birds such as the Doñana National Park and volcanic landscapes like in the Teide National Park (where you can take a cable car to the highest peak in Spain).If you would like to participate in activities at these National Parks, we recommend visiting the reservation centre.And if you are looking for fun and unique experiences, have a look on this page to reserve any of our suggestions.

Boston Red Sox Hammer the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6 to Win the World Series
The World Series began on Wednesday night with a blow out win by the Boston Red Sox. The Sox were widely expected to win the series, so the beginning of the best-of-7 set seemed, at least, auspicious. However, the St. Louis Cardinals came back on Thursday to squeak out a 4-2 win to knot up baseball's ultimate contest.
Then things got wacky.
St. Louis pulled into a series lead after a bizarre win on Saturday night. There was no end to the analysis about the game-ending call: Opinion pieces were written as were some obligatory defense of the umps—by the umps, for what it's worth. ESPN trumpeted the two aforementioned stories on the event, and it even made the front page of CNN.com.
However, Boston took their turn eking out the same supposedly small victory, a 4-2 margin that once again tied things up Sunday night. And with a defensive showdown in Game 5, won 3-1 by the Red Sox, the World Series was all but over. With Game 6 to be played at Fenway in Boston, wild reports circulated of record prices being set for the city's first chance, in this lifetime, to witness a championship.
The Red Sox famously hadn't won the World Series since 1918, but suddenly found themselves in the spotlight, winning twice in the last 10 years. However, the 2004 championship was a sweep, ending in Game 4 at Busch Stadium, when the Red Sox beat the Cardinals. Most recently, they swept the 2007 World Series against the Colorado Rockies, finishing Game 4 in Denver. Thus, the people of Boston tingled for a closing win at home.
When the Cardinals had trouble with the plane getting them to Boston, it seemed as though things were primed for the Red Sox to close everything down for the season. Game 6 did indeed slam the door on baseball for the year, and Boston did it in near-dominating fashion. In the largest romp of this World Series since Game 1, the Red Sox won their 8th World Series title 6-1, holding the Cardinals scoreless until the seventh inning, at which point Boston was firmly in charge.
Nike sent out their obligatory tweet and the people of Boston celebrated like they hadn't seen this in 100-plus years—which, in a way, they haven't. Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox on winning it all, especially since it finally came on their home field. That said, they've won the World Series three times now since 2004.
