You can't mention Nicollette Sheridan without thinking of her most recent alter ego, Edie Britt of "Desperate Housewives." However, when you watch Nicollette in her new Hallmark Channel movie, "Honeymoon for One" — which premieres Saturday, Aug. 13 at 9/8c — Edie will be the furthest thing from your mind. In "Honeymoon," Nicollette plays Eve Parker, a woman scorned who decides to travel to Ireland on what would have been her honeymoon. Along the way, she discovers love in the form of the breathtaking countryside, a sweet preteen named Kathleen, and a handsome (and irksome) outdoorsman named Sean.
Daytime Dial: What brought you to the Hallmark Channel, and to this movie in particular, "Honeymoon for One"?
Nicollette Sheridan: First of all, I really liked the character and I liked the movie. Hallmark is making beautiful movies that everyone can watch. And at times, they are dealing with slightly edgy material, so Hallmark has come a long way. And I do love that their movies are something the whole family can watch.
DD: Tell me about your character, Eve.
NS: Eve is hiding from herself and her intimate relationship by immersing herself in her work. I think a lot of people are guilty of that, and when something traumatic happens, she is forced to look at her life and make huge changes. And as we know, your career doesn't wrap itself around you at night, and keep you safe and sound. Being present and being aware, and having a life filled with love, friendship and trust does. When you reach outside yourself and you do for others, it enriches many more lives, including your own. And that's what I really liked about her journey.
DD: What were some of the aspects of her character that you could relate to or that you were really proud of?
NS: Well, she's a very kind person, and she means well. Then again, she really needs to pull her head out of the sand and see what's going on around her. And she's a strong character. I like that she's not a victim. It's very difficult to go through a relationship breakup. Especially when somebody cheats on you, and though these things are very painful in her life, the outcome is a much better path.
DD: It's very exciting and brave of her to go off on her own to a foreign country to clear her head and decide what she wants to do with her life.
NS: And it's very out of character for her to do something like that, but her friends urge her to go. When she does, it's very awkward at first, but she transcends all of that.
DD: What was Greg Wise, who played Sean, like to work with?
NS: Greg is a fantastic actor, and he's very playful. We had a lot of fun shooting this film.
DD: And the location was just gorgeous! Where did you film, and what was the actual filming like?
NS: It was just stunning. We were in the most beautiful places. And I'd never been to Ireland, and coming from England myself, you have that expansive countryside, but it's a much wilder feel in Ireland. I loved it over there. And of course I've been riding since I was a tiny little thing, and so for me to be out there and belting across the countryside on that white horse was heaven for me. It was just breathtaking over there. People are so nice and warm and friendly, and I'm looking forward to going back when I don't have to work so I can really explore the country.
DD: A movie of yours that I absolutely loved you in was "Noises Off!" Do you hope to do some slapstick comedy like that again? Everyone in that movie was absolutely brilliant and I know you're good at comedy. You're good at the romance and the drama, but I just loved you in the slapstick, physical comedy.
NS: Thank you. That was a very special movie. It had an incredible cast, and we would all convene at a roundtable in the morning, and everybody would tell stories and just share in a way that I'd never experienced on a set before. Basically we rehearsed it as a play. And then when we were ready to start shooting, we would shoot eight pages at a time, all in one shot. It was pretty demanding, physically, because as you remember, we were up and down the stairs and all the backstage business. The outtakes from that film were hilarious. I do love physical comedy as well as drama, so hopefully there will be a bit of everything to come.
DD: What are your thoughts on all these remakes that seem to be happening? I know TNT is doing a remake of "Dallas."
NS: I know! I just saw an ad for it. It looked exciting. There was a nostalgia that came with seeing the ad for the show, and I think the music and those faces that are so familiar to so many people … I think there is something comforting about it. And it looks exciting! You've got all those colorful characters, and I'm sure they are all going to do an incredible job with it.
Larry Hagman looked great and Patrick Duffy, and I noticed that Brenda Strong, who was Mary Alice on "Housewives," is in it. I'm thrilled for her, because she's a beautiful actress and one of the loveliest human beings that I know.
DD: If they decided to do a "Knots Landing" remake, would you be on board, or would you say, "Good luck, but my time on 'Knots Landing' has passed"?
NS: I haven't heard about anyone speaking of doing that. I think that "Dallas" was a lot flashier than "Knots Landing." "Knots Landing" was really the down-home, simpler, more-pained version. Just very real people going through real situations, but I haven't heard if they are interested in remaking that.
DD: I know you're involved with a lot of charities, especially animal charities. Can you tell me a bit about them?
NS: It's always wonderful to place animals in homes, because there are so many unwanted furry friends that need a beautiful family to go to. So, that's something that I like to help with. Also, I got involved with Guide Dogs for the Blind. It is such a wonderful gift to be able to pair up somebody in need with a set of eyes and a companion. That was a very fulfilling thing to be a part of.
Recently, there is this charity called Ride On that is with horses. It's for the disabled — both physically and mentally, adults and children — and just through the love that you get through working with and riding horses. It's an incredibly healing experience and gives them a sense of accomplishment to be able to ride and to be able to bond in that fashion. I'm going to have a little bit more free time coming up, so I'm actually going to get to be more hands-on with the people and the horses. Animals are such a gift.

Interview: Catching Up With Brandon Quinn
Brandon Quinn has played everything from gigolo Spencer Bullitt on "The O.C." to an eye-candy boyfriend on "Entourage" and even a teen wolf on "Big Wolf on Campus" (way before it was all the rage to be a shapeshifter). Now Brandon is playing a role he's always wanted to play, that of a cop, on the Lifetime Television new original series "Against the Wall," which premieres Sunday night, July 31, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Brandon told me all about his new show, and how excited he is to be a part of something of this caliber.
Daytime Dial: Were you as surprised as I was to see that this new show, a police procedural, was for Lifetime Television, as opposed to TNT or FX or another cable network along those lines?
Brandon Quinn: Oh my gosh, big time. The folks at Lifetime are in a position now where they are really trying to re-identify themselves, and this show is definitely unlike anything else they have right now. I really feel like it's going to put them on the map. I'm really proud of this show. I would stack our show up against any other show in its category on network television right now. Lifetime could potentially have a really big hit on their hands if all goes well. It's hard to say what people are going to respond to, but I just can't imagine viewers not responding to the show.
DD: Tell me about the show, and your role of Richie Kowalski.
BQ: It's a family drama first. It is a police procedural, but it's a family drama about a family of three generations of Chicago police officers. Dad is a patrol cop, along with my older brother, middle brother, myself and then the youngest sibling, Abby —the only girl in the family — who was a patrol cop and decides to join Internal Affairs. Which if you know anything about cops, it's cops on one side, Internal Affairs on the other side. They investigate the cops that are considered the traitors. So, it creates a huge upheaval in the family.
I play Richie Kowalski, the youngest of the three brothers. Richie's a really good guy. He's got a good sense of humor. He's an excellent cop. He has a lot of integrity. He takes his job really seriously. Richie and Abby have an extremely close relationship. We have the closest relationship of all the siblings, she and I. I'm her shoulder to cry on, her confidant. I don't judge her for the decision she made to join Internal Affairs.
DD: How excited were you to play Richie when you first got the script for the pilot?
BQ: I've always wanted to play a cop. What kid at some point in his life isn't obsessed with cops and robbers, if just for a day? For the longest time I actually really wanted to be a cop when I was younger. So, right away I was like, "Awesome. I've always wanted to play a cop." Then once I read the script, I loved the character of Richie. He's this blue-collar, down-to-earth guy's guy. He's a family man. He's really close with his wife. He's a really good friend, and he loves football — and these are all traits that I possess. I come from a blue-collar middle-class family that shaped who I am as a person. It's easy to be Richie, because it isn't a stretch. I just opened myself up, and the rest was on the paper.
DD: This show has such a great cast — what are they all like to work with?
BQ: It's such a dream job — you couldn't ask for a better group of people. From Rachael Carpani all the way down to the guest actors, they've all been tremendous, and it's literally one of those jobs where I keep pinching myself. Content of the show aside, it's all about the people you go to work with every day who help inspire you. It starts with Kathy Baker and Treat Williams, who are two veterans who have been doing this for years. They really set the tone, and they are both so down-to-earth and great. Kathy is so motherly and a very approachable, sweet woman.
And Treat, he really wants to give us our time in the spotlight. He's like: "I've had my time. This is your guys' time." And Rachael is absolutely phenomenal. The show wouldn't be nearly as great if we didn't have the cast we did, and we all get along so well. Honestly, there's not a diva in the bunch.

Chinese Microblog Service Introduces Five-Strike Program To Block 'Rumors' And 'Evil Teachings'
from the Whac-A-Mole dept
In a country where the mainstream media is tightly controlled, Chinese microblogs have provided an invaluable way for millions of people to find and share unofficial information. That's obviously problematic for the Chinese authorities, who have been gradually clamping down on what they term "rumors".
Things came to a head recently when posts about an alleged political coup in the country appeared on leading microblog services Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo, resulting in both of them being punished for failing to pull the rumors fast enough. Now Sina, whose microblog service passed the 300-million user mark recently, has instituted strict rules for users, presumably in an attempt to placate the Chinese government and head off future punishments.
Interestingly, it is bringing in a variant of the "three-strikes" system that has been so controversial in the West, as China Media Project explains:
According to the regulations, users logging more than 5 posts of "sensitive information" would be prevented from posting for 48 hours and have the relevant content deleted. Further, those users posting "sensitive content" with "malicious intent" would be prevented from posting for more than 48 hours and face the possibility of having their account terminated.
As The Next Web reports, "sensitive information" covers a wide range of subjects:
Users have the right to publish information, but may not publish any information that:
Users of China's microblogging services have proved surprisingly adept at avoiding previous attempts to censor their messages. For example, the blind Chinese human rights activist Chen Guangcheng was variously referred to as "blind man", "embassy", and "going into the light" as Chinese authorities noticed and then blocked each coded reference in turn. The new regulations specifically forbid this kind of approach:
1. Opposes the basic principles established by the constitution
2. Harms the unity, sovereignty, or territorial integrity of the nation
3. Reveals national secrets, endangers national security, or threatens the the honor or interests of the nation
4. Incites ethnic hatred or ethnic discrimination, undermines ethnic unity, or harms ethnic traditions and customs
5. Promotes evil teachings and superstitions
6. Spreads rumors, disrupts social order, and destroys societal stability
7. Promotes illicit activity, gambling, violence, or calls for the committing of crimes
8. Calls for disruption of social order through illegal gatherings, formation of organizations, protests, demonstrations, mass gatherings and assemblies
9. Has other content which is forbidden by laws, administrative regulations and national regulations.
It is not permitted to use oblique expression or other methods to get around the aforementioned restrictions
However, this probably just means that microblog users will become even more "oblique" in their techniques to route around the new forms of censorship. Short of shutting down such services completely -- a move that would probably be dangerously unpopular now that so many people use them -- it's hard to see how the Chinese authorities can ever completely stamp out this kind of inventiveness.

BENEFITING: Plan International USA
ORGANIZER: Plan International USA
Plan International USA wrote -
A global initiative for Plan International, Because I am a Girl is a multi-faceted program that will directly improve the lives of 4 million girls in the developing world by 2015. Based on decades of experience and in-depth research, we know that changing the lives of girls changes the world. Community driven projects will address the areas most critical to women and girls: clean water, food security, healthcare, education, microfinance, and protection from violence and exploitation.
So, What is the Problem?
Girls in developing countries face overwhelming odds from the moment they are born. Because she is a girl, she's more likely to suffer from malnutrition, be forced into an early marriage, be subjected to violence, be sold into the sex trade, or become infected with HIV. Because she is a girl, she faces discrimination in her own home. Because she is a girl, she'll have limited access to a doctor or even a primary education (if she's able to go to school at all). But we're here to change all that. Because being a girl should always be a positive, empowering experience.
What We're Doing
Through our sustainable development projects, we reach out to the most marginalized and vulnerable populations of girls around the world, rigorously measuring our impact every step of the way. However, its not just a girl thing. We actively and strategically engage men and boys to take an active role in all of our initiatives because real change can't happen without the support of the entire community.
The Long Term Impact
Experience and research consistently show that improving the lives of girls also lifts the condition of their families and their communities. Quite simply, investing in girls is the key to breaking the cycle of global poverty. Girls can change the world. But they can't do it without support.

OF SOME OTHER TAxE8.
§ 1. BESIDEs direct taxes on income, and taxes on consumption, the financial systems of most countries comprise a variety of miscellaneous imposts, not strictly included in either class. The modern European systems retain many such taxes, though in much less number and variety than those semi-barbarous governments which European influence has not yet reached. In some of these, scarcely any incident of life has escaped being made an excuse for some fiscal exaction; hardly any act, not belonging to daily routine, can be performed by any one, without obtaining leave from some agent of government, which is only granted in consideration of a payment: especially when the act requires the aid or the peculiar guarantee of a public authority. In the present treatise we may confine our attention to , such taxes as lately existed, or still exist, in countries usually classed as civilized.
In almost all nations a considerable revenue is drawn from taxes on contracts. These are imposed in various forms. One expedient is that of taxing the legal instrument which serves as evidence of the contract, and which is commonly the only evidence legally admissible. In England, scarcely any contract is binding unless executed on stamped paper, which has paid a tax to government; and until very lately, when the contract related to property the tax was proportionally much heavier on the smaller than on the larger transactions; which is still true of some of those taxes. There are also stamp duties on the legal instruments which are evidence of the fulfilment of contracts; such as acknowledgments of receipt, and deeds of release. Taxes on contracts are not always levied by means of stamps. The duty on sales by auction, abrogated by Sir Robert Peel, was an instance in point. The taxes on transfers of landed property,
in France, are another: in England these are stamp-duties. In some countries, contracts of many kinds are not valid unless registered, and their registration is made an occasion for a tax. Of taxes on contracts, the most important are those on the transfer of property; chiefly on purchases and sales. Taxes on the sale of consumable commodities are simply taxes on those commodities. If they affect only some particular commodities, they raise the prices of those commodities, and are paid by the consumer. If the attempt were made to tax all purchases and sales, which, however absurd, was for centuries the law of Spain, the tax, if it could be enforced, would be equivalent to a tax on all commodities, and would not affect prices: if levied from the sellers, it would be a tax on profits, if from the buyers, a tax on consumption; and neither class could throw the burthen upon the other. If confined to some one mode of sale, as for example by auction, it discourages recourse to that mode, and if of any material amount, prevents it from being adopted at all, unless in a case of emergency; in which case as the seller is under a necessity to sell, but the buyer under no necessity to buy, the tax falls on the seller; and this was the strongest of the objections to the auction duty: it almost always fell on a necessitous person, and in the crisis of his necessities. Taxes on the purchase and sale of land are, in most countries, liable t. the same objection. Landed property in old countries is seldom parted with, except from reduced circumstances, or some urgent need: the seller, therefore, must take what he can get, while the buyer, whose object is an investment, makes his calculations on the interest which he can obtain for his money in other ways, and wik, not buy
if he is charged with a government tax on the transaction.* It has indeed been objected, that this argument would not apply if all modes of permanent investment, such as the purchase of government securities, shares in joint-stock companies, mortgages, and the like, were subject to the same tax. But even then, if paid by the buyer, it would be equivalent to a tax on interest: if sufficiently heavy to be of any importance, it would disturb the established relation between interest and profit; and the disturbance would redress itself by a rise in the rate of interest, and a fall of the price of land and of all securities. It appears to me, therefore, that the seller is the person by whom such taxes, unless under peculiar circumstances, will generally be borne. All taxes must be condemned which throw obstacles in the way of the sale of land, or other instruments of production. Such sales tend naturally to render the property more productive. The seller, whether moved by necessity or choice, is probably some one who is either without the means, or without the capacity, to make the most advantageous use of the property for productive purposes; while the buyer, on the other hand, is at any rate not needy, and is frequently both inclined and able to improve the property, since, as it is worth more to such a person than to any other, he is likely to offer the highest price for it. All taxes, therefore, and all difficulties and expenses, annexed to such contracts, are decidedly detrimental; especially in the case of land, the source of subsistence, and the original foundation of all wealth, on the improvement of which, there. fore, so much depends. Too great facilities cannot be given to enable land to pass into the hands, and as
* The statement in the text requires modification in the case of countries where the land is owned in small portions. These being neither a badge of importance, nor in general an object of local attachment, are readily parted with at a small advance on their original cost, with the intention of buying elsewhere : and the desire of acquiring land, even on disadvantageous terms, is so great, as to be little checked by even a high
rate of taxation, j
sume the modes of aggregation or division, most conducive to its productiveness. If landed properties are too large, alienation should be free, in order that they may be subdivided; if too small, in order that they may be united. All taxes on the transfer of landed property should be abolished; but, as the landlords have no claim to be relieved from any reservation which the state has hitherto made in its own favour from the amount of their rent, an annual impost equivalent to the average produce of these taxes should be distributed over the land generally, in the form of a land-tax. Some of the taxes on contracts are very pernicious, imposing a virtual penalty upon transactions which it ought to be the policy of the legislator to encourage. Of this sort is the stamp duty on leases, which in a country of large properties are an essential condition of good agriculture; and the tax on insurances, a direct discouragement to prudence and forethought. In the case of fire insurances, the tax was until lately in all cases, and still is in most cases, exactly double the amount of the premium of insurance on common risks; so that the person insuring is obliged by the government to pay for the insurance just three times the value of the risk. If this tax existed in France, we should not see, as we do in some of her provinces, the plate of an insurance * on almost every cottage or hovel. This, indeed, must be ascribed to the provident and calculating habits produced by the dis. semination of property through the labouring class: but a tax of so extravagant an amount would be a heavy drag upon any habits of providence.
§ 2. Nearly allied to the taxes on contracts are those on communication. The principal of these is the postage tax; to which may be added taxes on advertisements, and on newspapers, which are taxes on the communication of information.
The common mode of levying a tax on the conveyance of letters, is by making the government the sole au. thorized carrier of them, and demand. ing a monopoly price. When this price is so moderate as it is in this country under the uniform penny postage, scarcely if at all exceeding what would be charged under the freest competition by any private company, it can hardly be considered as taxation, but rather as the profits of a business; whatever excess there is above the crdinary profits of stock being a fair result of the saving of expense, caused by having only one establishment and one set of arrangements for the whole country, instead of many competing ones. The business, too, being one which both can and ought to be conducted on fixed rules, is one of the few businesses which it is not unsuitable to a government to conduct. The post office, therefore, is at present one of the best of the sources from which this country derives its revenue. But a É. much exceeding what would e paid for the same service in a system of freedom, is not a desirable tax. Its chief weight falls on letters of business, and increases the expense of mercantile relations between distant places, It is like an attempt to raise a large revenue by heavy tolls: it obstructs all operations by which goods are conveyed from place to place, and discourages the production of commodities in one place for consumption in another; which is not only in itself one of the greatest sources of economy of labour, but is a necessary condition of almost all improvements in production, and one of the strongest stimulants to industry and promoters of civilization. A tax on advertisements is not free from the same objection, since in whatever degree advertisements are useful to business, by facilitating the coming together of the dealer or producer and the consumer, in that same degree, if the tax be high enough to be a serious discouragement to advertising, it prolongs the period during which goods remain unsold, and capital locked up in idleness. A tax on newspapers is objectionable, not so much where it does fall as where it does not, that is, where it Fo newspapers from being used. o the generality of those who buy
them, newspapers are a luxury which they can as well afford to pay for as any other indulgence, and which is as unexceptionable a source of revenue. But to that large part of the community who have been taught to read, but have received little other intellectual education, newspapers are the source of nearly all the general information which they possess, and of nearly all their acquaintance with the ideas and topics current among mankind; and an interest is more easily excited in newspapers, than in books or other more recondite sources of instruction. Newspapers contribute so little, in a direct way, to the origination of useful ideas, that many persons undervalue the importance of their office in disseminating them. They correct many prejudices and superstitions, and keep up a habit of discussion, and interest in public concerns, the absence of which is a great cause of the stagnation of mind usually found in the lower and middle, if not in all, ranks, of those countries where newspapers of an im: portant or interesting character do not exist. There ought to be no taxes which render this great diffuser of information, of mental excitement, and mental exercise, less accessible to that portion of the public which most needs to be carried into a region of ideas and interests beyond its own limited horizon.
§ 3. In the enumeration of bad taxes, a conspicuous place must be assigned to law taxes; which extract a revenue for the state from the various operations involved in an application to the tribunals. Like all needless expenses attached to law proceedings, they are a tax on redress, and therefore a premium on injury. . Although such taxes have been abolished in this country as a general source of revenue, they still exist in the form of fees of court, for defraying the expense of the courts of justice; under the idea, apparently, that those may fairly be required to bear the expenses of the administration of justice, who reap the benefit of it. The fallacy of this doctrine was powerfully exposed by Bentham. As he remarked, those who are under the necessity of going to law, are those who benefit least, not most, by the law and its administration. To them the protection which the law affords has not been complete, since they have been obliged to resort to a court of justice to ascertain their rights, or maintain those rights against infringement: while the remainder of the public have enjoyed the immunity from injury conferred by the law and the tribunals, without the inconvenience of an appeal to them.
§ 4. Besides the general taxes of the State, there are in all or most countries local taxes, to defray any expenses of a public nature which it is thought best to place under the control or management of a local authority. Some of these expenses are incurred for purposes in which the particular locality is solely or chiefly interested; as the paving, cleansing, and lighting of the streets; or the making and repairing of roads and bridges, which may be important to people from any part of the country, but only in so far as they, or goods in which they have an interest, pass along the roads or over the bridges. In other cases again, the expenses are of a kind as nationally important as any others, but are defrayed locally because supposed more ikely to be well administered by local bodies; as, in England, the relief of the poor and the support of gaols, and in some other countries, of schools. To decide for what public objects local superintendence is best suited, and what are those which should be kept immediately under the central government, or under a mixed system of local management and central superintendence, is a question, not of political economy, but of administration. It is an important principle, however, that taxes imposed by a local authority, being less amenable to publicity and discussion than the acts of the government, should always be special-laid on for some definite service, and not exceeding the expense actually incurred
in rendering the service. Thus limited, it is desirable, whenever practicable, that the burthen should fall on those to whom the service is rendered ; that the expense, for instance, of roads and bridges, should be defrayed by a toll on passengers and goods conveyed by them, thus dividing the cost between those who use them for pleasure or convenience, and the consumers of the goods which they enable to be brought to and from the market at a diminished expense. When, however, the tolls have repaid with interest the whole of the expenditure, the road or bridge should be thrown open free of toll, that it may be used also by those to whom, unless open gratuitously, it would be valueless; oil. being made for repairs either from the funds of the state, or b localities whic benefit. In England, almost all local taxes are direct, (the coal duty of the City of London, and a few similar imposts, being the chief exceptions,) though the greatest part of the taxation for general purposes is indirect. On the contrary, in France, Austria, and other countries where direct taxationis much more largely employed by the state, the local expenses of towns are principally defrayed by taxes levied on commodities . entering them. These indirect taxes are much more objectionable in towns than on the frontier, because the things which the country supplies to the towns are chiefly the necessaries of life and the materials of manufacture, while of what a country imports from foreign countries, the greater part usually consists of luxuries. An octroi cannot produce a large revenue, without pressing severely upon the labouring classes of the towns; unless their wages rise proportionally, in which case the tax falls in a great measure on the consumers of town produce, whether residing in town or country, since capital will not remain in the towns if its profits fall below their ordinary proportion as compared with the rural §.
a rate levied on the reap the principal § 1. ARE direct or indirect taxes the most eligible? This question, at all times interesting, has of late excited a considerable amount of discussion. In England there is a popular feeling, of old standing, in favour of indirect, or it should rather be said in opposition to direct, taxation. The feeling is not grounded on the merits of the case, and is of a puerile kind. An Englishman dislikes, not so much the payment as the act of paying. He dislikes seeing the face of the tax-collector, and bein subjected to his peremptory demand. Perhaps, too, the money which he is required to pay directly out of his pocket is the only taxation which he is quite sure that he pays at all. That a tax of one shilling per pound on tea, or of two shillings P. bottle on wine, raises the price of each pound of tea and bottle of wine which he consumes, by that and more than that amount, cannot indeed be denied; it is the fact, and is intended to be so, and he him. self, at times, is perfectly aware of it; but it makes ho any impression on his practical feelings and associations, serving to illustrate the distinction between what is merely known to be true and what is felt to be so. The unpopularity of direct taxation, contrasted with the easy manner in which the public consent to let themselves be fleeced in the prices of commodities, has generated in many friends of improvement a directly opposite mode of thinking to the foregoing. They contend that the very reason which makes direct taxation disagreeable, makes it H. Under it, every one knows ow much he really pays; and if he votes for a war, or any other expensive national luxury, he does so with his eyes open to what it costs him. If all #axes were direct, taxation would be much more perceived than at present; wnd there would be a security which
now there is not, for economy in the public expenditure. Although this argument is not without force, its weight is likely to be constantly diminishing. The real incidence of indirect taxation is every day more generally understood and more familiarly recognised: and whatever else may be said of the changes which are taking place in the tendencies of the human mind, it can scarcely, I think, be denied, that things are more and more estimated according to their calculated value, and less according to their non-essential accompaniments. The mere distinction between paying money directly to the tax-collector, and contributing the same sum through the intervention of the tea-dealer or the wine-merchant, no longer makes the whole difference between dislike or opposition, and passive acquiescence. But further, while any such infirmity of the popular mind subsists, the argument grounded on it tells partly on the other side of the question. If our present revenue of about seventy millions were all raised by direct taxes, an extreme dissatisfaction would certainly arise at having to pay so much; but while men's minds are so little guided by reason, as such a change of feeling from so irrelevant a cause would imply, so great an aver. sion to taxation might not be an unqualified good. Of the seventy millions in question, nearly thirty are pledged, under the most binding obligations, to those whose property has been borrowed and spent by the state: and while this debt remains unredeemed, a greatly increased impatience of taxation would involve no little danger of a breach of faith, similar to that which, in the defaulting states of America, has been produced, and in some of them still continues, from the same cause. That part, indeed, of the

The 22 hectares of Hannover Zoo are home to more than 3,000 animals spread across seven spectacular themed lands: from Canada's Yukon Bay, populated by seals and polar bears, to the Indian Jungle Palace with its tigers, leopards and sacred grey langur monkeys, and the Australian Outback of kangaroos and emus. Things take a somewhat nostalgic turn in the rural idyll of Meyer's Farm with its rare domestic breeds. In the kaleidoscopic world of Mollywoop, kids can run around in a huge playground, speed down the rubber-ring slide and get up close to the animals at the petting zoo. There is never a dull moment here, thanks to a daily programme of exciting animal shows (including the elephant show and hunting and flying displays featuring the birds of prey), the feeding times with commentary, the themed restaurants and the ice cream factory. Other highlights include exciting scout tours, slides, climbing courses, huge adventure playgrounds and gold-panning. You'll find places to eat in nearly every part of the zoo – from a popcorn stand and an ice cream parlour to a range of self-service diners and a restaurant serving good old-fashioned dishes from the Lower Saxony region.
Hannover Zoo has lots on offer for children. The new 'edutainment' stations, for example, help kids to learn as they play. Another highlight is the huge underwater world as seen from aboard the Yukon Queen. Thirty-nine panoramic windows provide an unrestricted view of the polar bears, seals and penguins below the water's surface. Hippos splash around to the right of the boat. At three o'clock it's time to feed the polar bears, with only a glass panel separating you from these furry giants. Sensational animal shows, themed restaurants and a boat trip down the Zambezi round off the perfect family day out. In winter the zoo holds a very special Christmas market, transforming the park into an enchanting winter wonderland with an excellent programme of festive events. Who ever said that Hannover was boring?

is the cap even needed if your circuit has one already? (ie: an Arduino compatible pcb with DTR breakout already...etc).. then only a 'jumper' yes?
QuoteThat one in the ebay link looks a bit different than the one the guys are hacking...Does this one also require hacking?Yes, but it may be very difficult to hack as I don't see a DTR signal pad to attach to. The DTR signal is avalibe on the CP2101 chip, but it's very difficult to solder anything to those small spaced chip pins. Doesn't mean it can't be used but you may not be able to get it to utilize the auto-reset function and will have to use a well timed manual push button reset on the arduino board prior/during uploading.Lefty
That one in the ebay link looks a bit different than the one the guys are hacking...Does this one also require hacking?
Well, this is what I thought I'd bought..http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110760144325?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649But this is what arrived (taken at random, just to illustrate)http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-2-0-to-TTL-UART-6PIN-CP2102-Module-Serial-Converter-K-/130772178661?pt=UK_Computing_Parallel_Serial_PS_2&hash=item1e72a116e5But it does "what it says on the tin", so no grounds to return it. Plus it would probably cost more in carriage costs than it cost to start with.
Got my two as well..$2.95 shipped...took a few weeks of course..but came, and look fine.work fine too (after you install drivers of course)..I mo'd mine as well....I cut off the last header.. and and attached 'two',, one in the same place.. and one that hangs over the side a bit.. then I jumpered this to the DTR pin.I probably didnt need to keep the RESET pin.. but whatever..tested and programmed a custom Arduino board with it.. for $3.00 I cant complain!

An event every month that begins at 1:00 pm on day Fourth of the month, repeating until August 26, 2019
How CES Works:
- CES serves all people (single adults, youth, couples, families, and veterans) experiencing homelessness.
- CES uses a standardized assessment tool that matches the right level of services and housing resources to the
persons facing a housing crisis.
If someone is:
- Living and sleeping outside
- Sleeping in a place not meant for human habitation
- Staying in a shelter
- Fleeing/attempting to flee domestic violence
- Exiting an institution where they resided for up to 90 days and were in shelter or a place not meant for human
habitation immediately prior to entering that institution or an emergency shelter.
Then please refer them to a Hub below to get assessed for housing services. Please let them know:
- Accessing the CES network does not mean housing program spots are available right now, but rather helps us
connect you with appropriate housing program once there is availability.
- Currently these are walk-in hours – no appointment necessary. The assessment will take approximately 10
minutes. You do not need to bring anything with you to the assessment.
- A CES Advocate will notify you when a housing program opportunity does become available. There are no
guaranteed timelines.

Bridgeville man under FBI watch found dead after neighborhood evacuations
FBI, Allegheny County bomb squad called to New York Circle
Ten homes were evacuated because of fears that a man in a neighboring house posed a threat, but Bridgeville police said the man was later found dead in the house, apparently from suicide.
Charles Krohn's wife got up Tuesday morning and saw a note on the bathroom door that said not to turn on the lights because it may explode, Police Chief Chad King said. She got out safely and went to a neighbor's house.
The FBI, the Allegheny County bomb squad and a hazmat team were called to the home on New York Circle, a small dead-end street near McLaughlin Run Road. A bomb robot was used to get a closer look at the house while police stayed back.
"Obviously, the reason for the turnout of agencies that we had was because we were concerned for officers and first responders. We believe the method that was used was that of either a poisonous gas or, possibly, carbon dioxide," King said. He added that a charcoal grill was found inside the bathroom where the man's body was discovered.
King told Channel 4 Action News reporter Janelle Hall that the 60-year-old man had been "the subject of an investigation" but wouldn't elaborate. He said the man was arrested Sept. 12 for building some sort of a "gas chamber" in his garage taken to a hospital at that time.
Neighbors told Hall that they had seen FBI agents in vehicles staking out the house recently. An FBI spokeswoman later confirmed that the bureau had been watching Charles Krohm for the past two weeks but she did say why.
"They've been weird since they've been here," said a neighbor, Kirsten Ptaszynski. "Since they've moved in, they have cameras on their porch, and if you step in their yard, they come outside and yell at you."
"You would never, ever think that he would do something like this," said another neighbor, Tussey Halo, who had been planning to play bingo with Krohn, "His whole demeanor and his personality were unbelievable."
Channel 4 Action News' Sheldon Ingram reported that police said they've been called to the home in the past because of the threat of suicide, and that Krohn had been taken for a psychiatric evaluation before.

Mix the fruit, almonds, citrus zests and the carrot with the brandy and orange liqueur in a large mixing bowl. Cover and leave to soak overnight.
Mix all the dry ingredients together, then add to the soaked fruit mixture. Grate in the butter, then add the eggs and stir. Don't forget to make a wish!
Grease a 1.5-litre pudding basin with butter and line the base with greaseproof paper. Spoon in the mixture, press down well and make a hollow with the back of the spoon in the centre. Cover the surface with a round of greaseproof paper, then cover the bowl with double-thickness greaseproof paper and foil and tie at the rim with string. Lower the pudding into a pan with an upturned saucer in the base, then fill with water until it comes halfway up the sides of the bowl. Steam for 6 hrs, topping up with water as necessary.
Alternatively, steam in the oven. Stand the pudding basin in a roasting tin filled with water, then cover with a tent of foil and cook for the same length of time at 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Check roasting tin occasionally as the water may need to be topped up.
To store, allow to cool, then store in a cool, dry cupboard. The pudding will keep for up to a year.
On the day, steam for 1 hr before turning out, decorating with holly and serving with extra-thick double cream or vanilla ice cream. Alternatively, try my Orange custard cream (below).
Recipe Tip
Orange custard creamWhip 285ml double cream with the grated zest ½ orange until it holds its shape. Fold in a 500ml tub fresh vanilla custard and serve.

Quite buggy. I wasn't able to enter the house at first, but then I examined my clothes and suddenly, without doing anything else, I was able to enter. The game also seemed to think I was picking the clothes up when I examined them, but in fact I had them with me all along. By the look of things, there was a bug with there being two sets of clothes the ones I started with and another set intended to get me inside the house but the two sets got mixed up somewhere along the way. I was also able to open the curtains in the corridor but the description from outside seemed to think they were still drawn.
After struggling for a while to make any progress, I resorted to cheating and looked in the Developer. Here I struggled some more. V5's organisation of tasks and objects is pretty chaotic compared to the simple straightforward approach used in V4, but after a while I managed to figure out that there was an item I needed in the porch location. Apparently I could find this item by examining the porch swing... but for the life of me I couldn't find any mention of the porch swing anywhere in the location description. Either it's there and I simply missed it or there's some task I needed to complete in order to make it show up, but I never did discover what that task was. Then again, the item in question doesn't show up in the location description when dropped so unless you actually know it's there (i.e. unless you cheated like I did), there's no way you'd find it.
I persevered for a while longer, running into some strange logic at one point one item is, apparently, too large for me to carry it through a door, but it's perfectly fine for me to go climbing through a window with it! but as every puzzle seemed to require me to struggle my way through the Developer (i.e. cheat) to solve it, I decided I was better off not playing it any further.

NE Ind. man gets 126-year molestation sentence
A northeastern man convicted of repeatedly molesting a girl over several years, leaving her traumatized, has received a 126-year prison sentence.
Forty-four-year-old Jeffrey Buzzard was sentenced Friday, a month after an Allen County jury convicted him of five counts each of child molesting and child seduction.
His victim, who's now a young woman, testified Friday that Buzzard's sexual attacks had left her with physical pain and emotional anguish, suicidal thoughts and trouble with relationships.
The Journal Gazette reports her ordeal came to light two years ago when she was voluntarily admitted to a hospital for treatment for mental health issues.
During treatment, she disclosed that Buzzard molested her from the time she was in the fourth grade until she was 18 in June 2011.

Robert Mitchell sayd thet this mision shud be over until 1. july 2010. But main problem is to clean out leftovers of this flaying robot. Bicouse polution of the outer space coud not be aloved.
Bicouse it has two RTGs, very powerful elctric engine it canot colapse to any ice surface. Explosion of this two motors coud make a wother and evry bactery thet survayvd trip from the earth coud be "reanimated".
Main option is to make this satelite go out of Saturn's system and then out of solar system. But this reqirs very much and precies calculations.

MOORPARK, CA – May 27, 2008 – Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ:CIMT), a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM solutions for the toolmaking and manufacturing industries announced today that the set of its GibbsCAM® product's post processors that was developed for Mori Seiki's NMV line of machine tools has been validated by Mori Seiki. This collaborative effort between the two companies ensures that GibbsCAM's posted output supports the 5-axis simultaneous capabilities of these machine tools. As competitive pressures grow, the market demand for 5-axis simultaneous machine tools is also growing as they significantly reduce setups and improve overall part quality.
"Accurate post processors are still the Achilles tendons of today's advanced machine tools," explains Bill Gibbs, founder and CEO of Gibbs and Associates. "This is certainly the case when dealing with 5-axis machine tools. Working directly with Mori Seiki DTL, we were able to significantly reduce the time it took to develop the set of post processors for their NMV series."
The Mori Seiki NMV series of machine tools are high-precision, 5-axis control vertical machining centers. Using Mori Seiki's DCG® (Driven at the Center of Gravity) technology, vibration is controlled allowing for high precision at high speeds. DCG virtually eliminates vibration ensuring a high quality surface finish, outstanding acceleration performance and improved roundness. DCG along with Mori Seiki's DDM™ (Direct Drive Motor), Table-in-Table Construction and ORC™ (Octagonal Ram Construction) provide the NMV series with the power and stability required for today's demanding machining applications.
In addition to developing post processors for the Mori Seiki NMV line, Gibbs has also developed accurate machine models of the NMV8000 DCG and NMV5000 DCG for use with GibbsCAM's Machine Simulation capability. Machine Simulation allows program motions to be fully simulated to identify potential programming errors which would result in expensive machine tool crashes on the shop floor.

If you're one of our readers who has marveled incredulously at the meteoric rise of Mansur Gavriel's simple, traditional bags, some new research may help explain the phenomenon a little more clearly. According to a study performed by NPD Group and e-commerce firm Stylitics, younger consumers are much less interested in big, traditional luxury brands than their older bag-shopping counterparts.
The two companies set out to determine what influences young consumers to invest in a new bag, and according to their results, the way millennial shoppers view buying a new bag "seems closer to buying a car than to buying clothing." Consumers under 35 do more preliminary research, much of it on social media, retail sites and elsewhere on the Internet, before purchasing either online or in a brick-and-mortar store, and that's true regardless of price point.
Perhaps the most interesting finding, according to Fashionista, is that millennial shoppers listed quality and style as the most important factors in their handbag-purchasing decisions, which outpaced the rate at which older shoppers favored those criteria. As Fashionista points out, that leaves a wide-open space for brands with little name recognition but a strong value proposition to win customers, and that's good news for buyers of all ages.

Indians notes from Aug. 29.
A baseball season doesn't reach its sixth month without some surprises. In Cleveland, sometimes they are even pleasant ones. Indians Manager Eric Wedge on Wednesday spent a few moments discussing right-hander Fausto Carmona, left-hander Rafael Perez, outfielder Franklin Gutierrez and second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera. All have provided key contributions to a first-place team. "A number of guys have done outstanding jobs, in more pivotal roles than you might have imagined," Wedge said. Carmona (14-8, 3.16 ERA) was projected to begin the season at Triple-A Buffalo. He was first a one-month injury replacement for Cliff Lee, then a one-month injury replacement for Jake Westbrook. Carmona pitched so well, however, there was never a discussion of sending him down. He ranks fourth in the American League in ERA. Perez (1-1, 1.70) began the season in Buffalo but was promoted for the second and final time May 28 and has been pitching the seventh or eighth inning most nights. His ERA ranks fourth among AL relievers, his .186 opponents' batting average seventh. "I don't think you can even envision having someone fill the role he's filled and doing the job he's done for us," Wedge said. "His slider is good, and his sinker is so dramatic. He has great action on his pitches. He'd be right up there on the list of guys who have stepped up." Gutierrez was recalled for the second and final time May 31. Although he has struggled recently (.218 average and 10 RBIs since July 25), he is hitting .306 off left-handers and has given the Indians speed on the basepaths and in right field. Cabrera took over the starting second baseman's job from struggling Josh Barfield on Aug. 14 and was batting .302 in 15 games through Tuesday. "He's a baseball player," Wedge said. "His instincts are strong, he's very comfortable out there and he enjoys playing the game. He likes to be up there in key situations, and he's doing a great job defensively as well." A Night Off Jhonny Peralta was not in Wednesday's starting lineup. Asdrubal Cabrera started at SS and Chris Gomez at 2B. Peralta was 3-for-28 with 22 strikeouts in his career against Minnesota LHP Johan Santana. Peralta also had four hits in his last 18 at-bats (.222) through Tuesday. The Three Amigos Wedge said he likes the outfield combination of Kenny Lofton in left, Grady Sizemore in center and Franklin Gutierrez in right. "That's a good defensive outfield," Wedge said. "They'll cover a lot of ground. Those are three center fielders out there." Remember Me? Barfield hasn't started a game since Aug.14. "He's been a great teammate and continues to work hard," Wedge said. "He's doing a good job of using this time to work. We're working to put the best team out there. With that comes tough decisions." Umpire Clinic An umpiring clinic will take place Sept. 15 at Jacobs Field, led by veteran MLB ump Ed Hickox. The clinic begins at 2:45 p.m. and ends at 5. The admission price includes a ticket to that evening's game. For more information, call John Bowers at 216-420-4493. Best of the Bisons Triple-A Buffalo named 1B Ryan Mulhern its team MVP, LHP Aaron Laffey most valuable pitcher and INF Luis Rivas comeback player of the year. On the Farm Double-A Akron 1B Jordan Brown has been named Eastern League Rookie of the Year. Brown came into Wednesday leading the league with a .326 average and leading his team in doubles (32) and RBIs (72). He was Carolina League MVP at Single-A Kinston in 2006.

I tried to add the launcher, but it doesn't work. Probably because I don't use the installer.
pzl_support commented on 2015-10-26 09:59
New Akari game added plus changes to minesweeper, sudoku, kakuro, futoshiki.
Version 4.0
SanskritFritz commented on 2015-07-06 16:02
pzl_common is definitely a dependency of each package. Look for example in the PKGBUILD in the package_pzl_boggle() function:
So, pacman -U should warn you if you want to install pzl_boggle without having pzl_common installed.
JohnRobson commented on 2015-07-06 15:36
Thank you, I didn't know about that.
None package specify that the dependency "pzl_common" must be installed first.
I thought that this "pzl_games" should install "pzl_common" first and after that, all the packages.
Thank you again.
SanskritFritz commented on 2015-07-06 07:47
This is a split package base. You cannot install this. You have to install the packages one by one. Please read up on split packages here: man PKGBUILD or http://archlinux.2023198.n4.nabble.com/split-packages-documentation-td2035720.html

pzl_common is a dependency of all games. This one is just the package base. I don't like the launcher, but I might add it to the list.

pzl_common must be installed first.
What about add: pzl_launcher

It's a good, old-fashioned family reunion, as the entire Cullen family has signed onto "Breaking Dawn."
Summit Entertainment announced today that the previous vampire holdout by Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene had ended -- they will "all return as members of the Cullen Family," according to the press release.
"Breaking Dawn" is slated to be released November 18, 2011. Lutz and Greene had reportedly held out looking for more cash for their efforts in the last film (or films) in the "Twilight" series. They also faced the possibility of being replaced if they couldn't come to a deal with Summit.
Lutz and Greene are getting in the neighborhood of $1.25 million for each of the final movies, according to the Hollywood Reporter. A far cry from either the $4 million or $2 million (depending on who you believe) paydays they were initially seeking and certainly lower than the payday of the uber Cullen Robert Pattinson.
But it does mean a bigger pay for sure from their previous three movies. And the vampire stand-off ended with Twilight fans getting what they want -- the same actors ending their gig intact as Alice and Emmet Cullen.
While the pay dispute was allegedly about the payment of making a second "Breaking Dawn" film, no official decision has been made on that accord. "It's still up in the air," says one Summit source. Director Bill Condon told me this week that they haven't formally decided on making a second movie as well.
That decision will no doubt come down in the near future.

TIDALHiFi is now streaming Jay-Z, Arcade Fire, deadmau5 and more all over the house on Sonos.
Today TIDALHiFi launched the first artist-owned high definition streaming music service. Available day one on your Sonos Wireless HiFi System in more than 30 countries – TIDALHiFi promises lossless FLAC streaming from over 25 million songs, expert-curated editorial, and most importantly, the perspective of artists who are bound to shake things up for the better.
Artists are in tune with how people are listening to their music and they will play a vital role in shaping the future of how we experience it. Until now, the artist lost control of how their music was listened to once it left the mix engineers' studio. Music creators are looking for ways to build a more pure connection between their art and how we listen. From today, streaming will become the creative playground for an artist (vs. a distribution channel) to present their music – and in the way they want it experienced.
At Sonos, our job is to present music that is as close as possible to the original sound and heartbeat that goes into every note written. We work with music creators every day and remain focused on making sure the pathways to the world of sound are clear with an experience on Sonos that is easy and intuitive. Music, after all, is to be felt, absorbed, celebrated and listened to out loud. And we will work with the TIDALHiFi team, as well as our other 60+ music service partners, to continue to push the limits for creating the best listening experience in the home.
TIDALHiFi is now available around the world for a $19.99 USD* monthly subscription. To listen on your Sonos Wireless HiFi System, go to 'Add Music Services' in the Sonos Controller App and follow the prompts.

Today, the ever amazing xkcd released a new map of online communities. Until last year or so, most of the Perl community resided on "email land". Granted, it's a huge place, but not so pretty, and foreigners probably needed a visa to enter - or at least someone inside to give you directions and keep you out of trouble. Oh, we also have our cozy and warm "irc isles", but let's face it: it's not that big an empire.
Then the Ironman Challenge came, and people followed. Or, rather, blogged. And what a great thing it is! Our brave explores went out of their comfort zones and right into the blogosphere core, planting the camel flag and claiming more ground for Perl.
Lots of us also settled on the huge Twitter continent, showcasing Perl to contacts and followers. Others have decided to head north and are now bravely fighting the flames of Reddit, Digg and several other web forums, getting more and more Perl news out of the annoying old myths and into the Slashdot effect - and what a nice bootstrapping this is, being that Slashdot itself is written in Perl!
What lies ahead? Right now, the great (and greatly addictive) Lacuna Expanse game is taking Modern Perl straight right into the "MMO Isle", where I'm sure very nice things await. It's the new land of opportunity for Perl apps. And it's already integrated to Facebook, another promising shore for the Perl programming language and its ever growing community.
Now if you excuse me, I have a Spy Pod waiting to be launched against the evil Perigrin's Estate. Erm, I mean... work, yeah. ;-)

The Longitudinal Study of American Youth at University of Michigan has issued a new report "The Generation X Report: Active, Balanced, and Happy: These young Americans are not bowling alone", whose conclusions are evident from its title.
Data they use: the LSAY began in 1987 with a national sample of 7th and 10th grade students in 50 U.S. public school systems; these 5,900 students were tracked for 6 years. Then 95% of them were relocated in 2007 and interviewing has resumed annually for the last 4 years. Survey participants are now 36 and 39 years old.
Some of their evidence:
"One in three Generation X young adults is an active member of a church or religious organization and almost all of these young adults report attending one or more church or religious activities or events each week. Thirty percent of Generation X young adults indicated that they are active members of a professional, business, or union organization, which provides additional opportunities for social interactions. Seventeen percent of all LSAY young adults are active members of a parent-teacher organization and 24% of the parents of minor children indicated that they are active in a school-based parent-teacher organization. Seventeen percent of Generation X young adult say that they are active in one or more community service groups and 29% report that they do some hours of volunteer work in their community each month. Four percent were active members of a book group and 3% indicated that they were active members of an environmental group….
The young adults in Generation X maintain an active social network outside formal groups and organizations. Ninety-five percent of LSAY young adults report that they talk to friends or family by telephone at least once each week and 29% say that they talk to friends or family on the phone once a day. Ten percent indicate that they have at least two telephone conversations with friends or family each day. Slightly more than 80% of young adults report visiting a friend or relative each week and 29% say that they make three of more visits to friends or family each week. Clearly, these young adults are engaged in continuous communication and interaction with other members of their family and their social network.
One of Putnam's indicators of social capital was the frequency of inviting friends into one's home for dinner, and he found this kind of social interaction to be diminishing. Generation X young adults in the LSAY report a substantial level of social interaction over food. Two-thirds reported that they entertain friends for dinner in their home or engage in group cooking activities with other adults at least once each month and 35% say that they entertain or participate in group cooking two or more times each month.
We have written about how the generation below Gen-X (those in their late 20s) are more engaged now than a generation ago (See Sander-Putnam "Still Bowling Alone"). As the scholars involved in LSAY surely know, there is no way just by looking at the levels of engagement of a group at a specific period of time to sort out how much of this is age (activities that people do more at certain ages than others), cohort (what is distinctive about, say GenXers), and period (what is distinctive about a specific period in history, say the Great Recession). To sort out these age-period-cohort effects one needs to either compare people at the same age over time (say interviewing high school seniors every year for 30 years and seeing how high-school seniors are different now than high-school seniors 30 years ago) or having cross-sections of the US at multiple points in time so you can have multiple points for different birth cohorts at different ages. Without this, it is somewhat like a Rohrshach pattern to observe GenXers today and opine about whether they are or not engaged.
Many of the activities they focus on (home entertaining or church attendance or PTA involvement) peak in the middle years as parents are trying to introduce their kids to religion or getting involved through schools.
That said, I hope their conclusion is correct, much as I'd need to see different evidence to believe it.

Beaches and barbecues were on the minds of residents this weekend as the South Shore of Massachusetts got an early taste of summer.
Beaches and barbecues were the places to be over the weekend as the South Shore got an early taste of summer. Temperatures in the mid-80s are expected to return Tuesday with more seasonable highs around 60 degrees later this week.
Record-high temperatures were set both Saturday and Sunday at the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory in Milton. Saturday's high of 83 degrees surpassed the previous record of 80 set in 1942. And on Sunday, the temperature hit 84, beating the previous record of 83 set in 1908.
