Volume I
Chapter XI: Experiments
The first of June; the Kings are off to the sea-shore to-morrow, and I'm free! Three months' vacation! how I shall enjoy it!" exclaimed Meg, coming home one warm day to find Jo laid upon the sofa in an unusual state of exhaustion, while Beth took off her dusty boots, and Amy made lemonade for the refreshment of the whole party.
"Aunt March went to-day, for which, oh be joyful!" said Jo. "I was mortally afraid she'd ask me to go with her; if she had, I should have felt as if I ought to do it; but Plumfield is about as festive as a church-yard, you know, and I'd rather be excused. We had a flurry getting the old lady off, and I had a scare every time she spoke to me, for I was in such a hurry to be through that I was uncommonly helpful and sweet, and feared she'd find it impossible to part from me. I quaked till she was fairly in the carriage, and had a final fright, for, as it drove off, she popped out her head, saying, 'Josy-phine, won't you—' I didn't hear any more, for I basely turned and fled; I did actually run, and whisked round the corner, where I felt safe."
"Poor old Jo! she came in looking as if bears were after her," said Beth, as she cuddled her sister's feet with a motherly air.
"Aunt March is a regular samphire, is she not?" observed Amy, tasting her mixture critically.
"She means vampire, not sea-weed; but it don't matter; it's too warm to be particular about one's parts of speech," murmured Jo.
"What shall you do all your vacation?" asked Amy, changing the subject, with tact.
"I shall lie abed late, and do nothing," replied Meg, from the depths of the rocking-chair. " I've been routed up early all winter, and had to spend my days working for other people; so now I'm going to rest and revel to my heart's content."
"Hum!" said Jo; "that dozy way wouldn't suit me. I've laid in a heap of books, and I'm going to improve my shining hours reading on my perch in the old apple-tree, when I'm not having l—"
"Don't say 'larks!'" implored Amy, as a return snub for the "samphire" correction.
"I'll say 'nightingales,' then, with Laurie; that's proper and appropriate, since he's a warbler."
"Don't let us do any lessons, Beth, for a while, but play all the time, and rest, as the girls mean to," proposed Amy.
"Well, I will, if mother don't mind. I want to learn some new songs, and my children need fixing up for the summer; they are dreadfully out of order, and really suffering for clothes."
"May we, mother?" asked Meg, turning to Mrs. March, who sat sewing, in what they called "Marmee's corner."
"You may try your experiment for a week, and see how you like it. I think by Saturday night you will find that all play, and no work, is as bad as all work, and no play."
"Oh, dear, no! it will be delicious, I'm sure," said Meg, complacently.
"I now propose a toast, as my 'friend and pardner, Sairy Gamp,' says. Fun forever, and no grubbage," cried Jo, rising, glass in hand, as the lemonade went round.
They all drank it merrily, and began the experiment by lounging for the rest of the day. Next morning, Meg did not appear till ten o'clock; her solitary breakfast did not taste good, and the room seemed lonely and untidy, for Jo had not filled the vases, Beth had not dusted, and Amy's books lay scattered about. Nothing was neat and pleasant but "Marmee's corner," which looked as usual; and there she sat, to "rest and read," which meant yawn, and imagine what pretty summer dresses she would get with her salary. Jo spent the morning on the river, with Laurie, and the afternoon reading and crying over "The Wide, Wide World," up in the apple-tree. Beth began by rummaging everything out of the big closet, where her family resided; but, getting tired before half done, she left her establishment topsy-turvy, and went to her music, rejoicing that she had no dishes to wash. Amy arranged her bower, put on her best white frock, smoothed her curls, and sat down to draw, under the honeysuckles, hoping some one would see and inquire who the young artist was. As no one appeared but an inquisitive daddy-long-legs, who examined her work with interest, she went to walk, got caught in a shower, and came home dripping.
At tea-time they compared notes, and all agreed that it had been a delightful, though unusually long day. Meg, who went shopping in the afternoon, and got a "sweet blue muslin," had discovered, after she had cut the breadths off, that it wouldn't wash, which mishap made her slightly cross. Jo had burnt the skin off her nose boating, and got a raging headache by reading too long. Beth was worried by the confusion of her closet, and the difficulty of learning three or four songs at once; and Amy deeply regretted the damage done her frock, for Katy Brown's party was to be the next day; and now, like Flora McFlimsy, she had "nothing to wear." But these were mere trifles; and they assured their mother that the experiment was working finely. She smiled, said nothing, and, with Hannah's help, did their neglected work, keeping home pleasant, and the domestic machinery running smoothly. It was astonishing what a peculiar and uncomfortable state of things was produced by the "resting and revelling" process. The days kept getting longer and longer; the weather was unusually variable, and so were tempers; an unsettled feeling possessed every one, and Satan found plenty of mischief for the idle hands to do. As the height of luxury, Meg put out some of her sewing, and then found time hang so heavily, that she fell to snipping and spoiling her clothes, in her attempts to furbish them up, à la Moffat. Jo read till her eyes gave out, and she was sick of books; got so fidgety that even good-natured Laurie had a quarrel with her, and so reduced in spirits that she desperately wished she had gone with Aunt March. Beth got on pretty well, for she was constantly forgetting that it was to be all play, and no work and fell back into her old ways, now and then; but something in the air affected her, and, more than once, her tranquillity was much disturbed; so much so, that, on one occasion, she actually shook poor dear Joanna, and told her she was "a fright." Amy fared worst of all, for her resources were small; and, when her sisters left her to amuse and care for herself, she soon found that accomplished and important little self a great burden. She didn't like dolls; fairy tales were childish, and one couldn't draw all the time. Tea-parties didn't amount to much, neither did picnics, unless very well conducted. "If one could have a fine house, full of nice girls, or go travelling, the summer would be delightful; but to stay at home with three selfish sisters, and a grown-up boy, was enough to try the patience of a Boaz," complained Miss Malaprop, after several days devoted to pleasure, fretting, and ennui.
No one would own that they were tired of the experiment; but, by Friday night, each acknowledged to herself that they were glad the week was nearly done. Hoping to impress the lesson more deeply, Mrs. March, who had a good deal of humor, resolved to finish off the trial in an appropriate manner; so she gave Hannah a holiday, and let the girls enjoy the full effect of the play system.
When they got up on Saturday morning, there was no fire in the kitchen, no breakfast in the dining-room, and no mother anywhere to be seen.
"Mercy on us! what has happened?" cried Jo, staring about her in dismay.
Meg ran up stairs, and soon came back again, looking relieved; but rather bewildered, and a little ashamed.
"Mother isn't sick, only very tired, and she says she is going to stay quietly in her room all day, and let us do the best we can. It's a very queer thing for her to do, she don't act a bit like herself; but she says it has been a hard week for her, so we mustn't grumble, but take care of ourselves."
"That's easy enough, and I like the idea; I'm aching for something to do — that is, some new amusement, you know," added Jo, quickly.
In fact it was an immense relief to them all to have a little work, and they took hold with a will, but soon realized the truth of Hannah's saying, "Housekeeping ain't no joke." There was plenty of food in the larder, and, while Beth and Amy set the table, Meg and Jo got breakfast; wondering, as they did so, why servants ever talked about hard work.
"I shall take some up to mother, though she said we were not to think of her, for she'd take care of herself," said Meg, who presided, and felt quite matronly behind the teapot.
So a tray was fitted out before any one began, and taken up, with the cook's compliments. The boiled tea was very bitter, the omelette scorched, and the biscuits speckled with saleratus; but Mrs. March received her repast with thanks, and laughed heartily over it after Jo was gone.
"Poor little souls, they will have a hard time, I'm afraid; but they won't suffer, and it will do them good," she said, producing the more palatable viands with which she had provided herself, and disposing of the bad breakfast, so that their feelings might not be hurt; — a motherly little deception, for which they were grateful.
Many were the complaints below, and great the chagrin of the head cook, at her failures. "Never mind, I'll get the dinner, and be servant; you be missis, keep your hands nice, see company, and give orders," said Jo, who knew still less than Meg about culinary affairs.
This obliging offer was gladly accepted; and Margaret retired to the parlor, which she hastily put in order by whisking the litter under the sofa, and shutting the blinds, to save the trouble of dusting. Jo, with perfect faith in her own powers, and a friendly desire to make up the quarrel, immediately put a note in the office, inviting Laurie to dinner.
"You'd better see what you have got before you think of having company," said Meg, when informed of the hospitable, but rash act.
"Oh, there's corned beef, and plenty of potatoes; and I shall get some asparagus, and a lobster, 'for a relish,' as Hannah says. We'll have lettuce, and make a salad; I don't know how, but the book tells. I'll have blanc-mange and strawberries for dessert; and coffee, too, if you want to be elegant."
"Don't try too many messes, Jo, for you can't make anything but gingerbread and molasses candy, fit to eat. I wash my hands of the dinner-party; and, since you have asked Laurie on your own responsibility, you may just take care of him."
"I don't want you to do anything but be clever to him, and help to the pudding. You'll give me your advice if I get stuck, won't you?" asked Jo, rather hurt.
"Yes; but I don't know much, except about bread, and a few trifles. You had better ask mother's leave, before you order anything," returned Meg, prudently.
"Of course I shall; I ain't a fool," and Jo went off in a huff at the doubts expressed of her powers.
"Get what you like, and don't disturb me; I'm going out to dinner, and can't worry about things at home," said Mrs. March, when Jo spoke to her. "I never enjoyed housekeeping, and I'm going to take a vacation today, and read, write, go visiting and amuse myself."
The unusual spectacle of her busy mother rocking comfortably, and reading early in the morning, made Jo feel as if some natural phenomenon had occurred; for an eclipse, an earthquake, or a volcanic eruption would hardly have seemed stranger.
"Everything is out of sorts, somehow," she said to herself, going down stairs. "There's Beth crying; that's a sure sign that something is wrong with this family. If Amy is bothering, I'll shake her."
Feeling very much out of sorts herself, Jo hurried into the parlor to find Beth sobbing over Pip, the canary, who lay dead in the cage, with his little claws pathetically extended, as if imploring the food, for want of which he had died.
"It's all my fault — I forgot him — there isn't a seed or drop left — oh, Pip! oh, Pip! how could I be so cruel to you?" cried Beth, taking the poor thing in her hands, and trying to restore him.
Jo peeped into his half-open eye, felt his little heart, and finding him stiff and cold, shook her head, and offered her domino-box for a coffin.
"Put him in the oven, and maybe he will get warm, and revive," said Amy, hopefully.
"He's been starved, and he shan't be baked, now he's dead. I'll make him a shroud, and he shall be buried in the grave; and I'll never have another bird, never, my Pip! for I am too bad to own one," murmured Beth, sitting on the floor with her pet folded in her hands.
"The funeral shall be this afternoon, and we will all go. Now, don't cry, Bethy; it's a pity, but nothing goes right this week, and Pip has had the worst of the experiment. Make the shroud, and lay him in my box; and, after the dinner-party, we'll have a nice little funeral," said Jo, beginning to feel as if she had undertaken a good deal.
Leaving the others to console Beth, she departed to the kitchen, which was in a most discouraging state of confusion. Putting on a big apron, she fell to work, and got the dishes piled up ready for washing, when she discovered that the fire was out.
"Here's a sweet prospect!" muttered Jo, slamming the stove door open, and poking vigorously among the cinders.
Having rekindled it, she thought she would go to market while the water heated. The walk revived her spirits; and, flattering herself that she had made good bargains, she trudged home again, after buying a very young lobster, some very old asparagus, and two boxes of acid strawberries. By the time she got cleared up, the dinner arrived, and the stove was red-hot. Hannah had left a pan of bread to rise, Meg had worked it up early, set it on the hearth for a second rising, and forgotten it. Meg was entertaining Sallie Gardiner, in the parlor, when the door flew open, and a floury, crocky, flushed and dishevelled figure appeared, demanding, tartly, —
"I say, isn't bread 'riz' enough when it runs over the pans?"
Sallie began to laugh; but Meg nodded, and lifted her eyebrows as high as they would go, which caused the apparition to vanish, and put the sour bread into the oven without further delay. Mrs. March went out, after peeping here and there to see how matters went, also saying a word of comfort to Beth, who sat making a winding-sheet, while the dear departed lay in state in the domino-box. A strange sense of helplessness fell upon the girls as the gray bonnet vanished round the corner; and despair seized them, when, a few minutes later, Miss Crocker appeared, and said she'd come to dinner. Now this lady was a thin, yellow spinster, with a sharp nose, and inquisitive eyes, who saw everything, and gossiped about all she saw. They disliked her, but had been taught to be kind to her, simply because she was old and poor, and had few friends. So Meg gave her the easy-chair, and tried to entertain her, while she asked questions, criticised everything, and told stories of the people whom she knew.
Language cannot describe the anxieties, experiences, and exertions which Jo underwent that morning; and the dinner she served up became a standing joke. Fearing to ask any more advice, she did her best alone, and discovered that something more than energy and good-will is necessary to make a cook. She boiled the asparagus hard for an hour, and was grieved to find the heads cooked off, and the stalks harder than ever. The bread burnt black; for the salad dressing so aggravated her, that she let everything else go, till she had convinced herself that she could not make it fit to eat. The lobster was a scarlet mystery to her, but she hammered and poked, till it was unshelled, and its meagre proportions concealed in a grove of lettuce-leaves. The potatoes had to be hurried, not to keep the asparagus waiting, and were not done at last. The blanc-mange was lumpy, and the strawberries not as ripe as they looked, having been skilfully "deaconed."
"Well, they can eat beef, and bread and butter, if they are hungry; only it's mortifying to have to spend your whole morning for nothing," thought Jo, as she rang the bell half an hour later than usual, and stood hot, tired, and dispirited, surveying the feast spread for Laurie, accustomed to all sorts of elegance, and Miss Crocker, whose curious eyes would mark all failures, and whose tattling tongue would report them far and wide.
Poor Jo would gladly have gone under the table, as one thing after another was tasted and left; while Amy giggled, Meg looked distressed, Miss Crocker pursed up her lips, and Laurie talked and laughed with all his might, to give a cheerful tone to the festive scene. Jo's one strong point was the fruit, for she had sugared it well, and had a pitcher of rich cream to eat with it. Her hot cheeks cooled a trifle, and she drew a long breath, as the pretty glass plates went round, and every one looked graciously at the little rosy islands floating in a sea of cream. Miss Crocker tasted first, made a wry face, and drank some water hastily. Jo, who had refused, thinking there might not be enough, for they dwindled sadly after the picking over, glanced at Laurie, but he was eating away manfully, though there was a slight pucker about his mouth, and he kept his eye fixed on his plate. Amy, who was fond of delicate fare, took a heaping spoonful, choked, hid her face in her napkin, and left the table precipitately.
"Oh, what is it." exclaimed Jo, trembling.
"Salt instead of sugar, and the cream is sour," replied Meg, with a tragic gesture.
Jo uttered a groan, and fell back in her chair; remembering that she had given a last hasty powdering to the berries out of one of the two boxes on the kitchen table, and had neglected to put the milk in the refrigerator. She turned scarlet, and was on the verge of crying, when she met Laurie's eyes, which would look merry in spite of his heroic efforts; the comical side of the affair suddenly struck her, and she laughed till the tears ran down her cheeks. So did every one else, even "Croaker," as the girls called the old lady; and the unfortunate dinner ended gaily, with bread and butter, olives and fun.
"I haven't strength of mind enough to clear up now^, so we will sober ourselves with a funeral," said Jo, as they rose; and Miss Crocker made ready to go, being eager to tell the new story at another friend's dinner-table.
They did sober themselves, for Beth's sake; Laurie dug a grave under the ferns in the grove, little Pip was laid in, with many tears, by his tender-hearted mistress, and covered with moss, while a wreath of violets and chickweed was hung on the stone which bore his epitaph, composed by Jo, while she struggled with the dinner: —
"Here lies Pip March,
Who died the 7th of June;
Loved and lamented sore,
And not forgotten soon."
At the conclusion of the ceremonies, Beth retired to her room, overcome with emotion and lobster; but there was no place of repose, for the beds were not made, and she found her grief much assuaged by beating up pillows and putting things in order. Meg helped Jo clear away the remains of the feast, which took half the afternoon, and left them so tired that they agreed to be contented with tea and toast for supper. Laurie took Amy to drive, which was a deed of charity, for the sour cream seemed to have had a bad effect upon her temper. Mrs. March came home to find the three older girls hard at work in the middle of the afternoon; and a glance at the closet gave her an idea of the success of one part of the experiment.
Before the housewives could rest, several people called, and there was a scramble to get ready to see them; then tea must be got, errands done; and one or two bits of sewing were necessary, but neglected till the last minute. As twilight fell, dewy and still, one by one they gathered in the porch where the June roses were budding beautifully, and each groaned or sighed as she sat down, as if tired or troubled.
"What a dreadful day this has been!" begun Jo, usually the first to speak.
"It has seemed shorter than usual, but so uncomfortable," said Meg.
"Not a bit like home," added Amy.
"It can't seem so without Marmee and little Pip," sighed Beth, glancing, with full eyes, at the empty cage above her head.
"Here's mother, dear, and you shall have another bird to-morrow, if you want it."
As she spoke, Mrs. March came and took her place among them, looking as if her holiday had not been much pleasanter than theirs.
"Are you satisfied with your experiment, girls, or do you want another week of it?" she asked, as Beth nestled up to her, and the rest turned toward her with brightening faces, as flowers turn toward the sun.
"I don't!" cried Jo, decidedly.
"Nor I," echoed the others.
"You think, then, that it is better to have a few duties, and live a little for others, do you?"
"Lounging and larking don't pay," observed Jo, shaking her head. "I'm tired of it, and mean to go to work at something right off."
"Suppose you learn plain cooking; that's a useful accomplishment, which no woman should be without," said Mrs. March, laughing audibly at the recollection of Jo's dinner-party; for she had met Miss Crocker, and heard her account of it.
"Mother! did you go away and let everything be, just to see how we'd get on?" cried Meg, who had had suspicions all day.
"Yes; I wanted you to see how the comfort of all depends on each doing their share faithfully. While Hannah and I did your work, you got on pretty well, though I don't think you were very happy or amiable; so I thought, as a little lesson, I would show you what happens when every one thinks only of herself. Don't you feel that it is pleasanter to help one another, to have daily duties which make leisure sweet when it comes, and to bear or forbear, that home may be comfortable and lovely to us all?"
"We do, mother, we do!" cried the girls.
"Then let me advise you to take up your little burdens again; for though they seem heavy sometimes, they are good for us, and lighten as we learn to carry them. Work is wholesome, and there is plenty for every one; it keeps us from ennui and mischief; is good for health and spirits, and gives us a sense of power and independence better than money or fashion."
"We'll work like bees, and love it too; see if we don't!" said Jo. "I'll learn plain cooking for my holiday task; and the next dinner-party I have shall be a success."
"I'll make the set of shirts for father, instead of letting you do it, Marmee. I can and I will, though I'm not fond of sewing; that will be better than fussing over my own things, which are plenty nice enough as they are," said Meg.
"I'll do my lessons every day, and not spend so much time with my music and dolls. I am a stupid thing, and ought to be studying, not playing," was Beth's resolution; while Amy followed their example, by heroically declaring, "I shall learn to make button-holes, and attend to my parts of speech."
"Very good! then I am quite satisfied with the experiment, and fancy that we shall not have to repeat it; only don't go to the other extreme, and delve like slaves. Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life become a beautiful success, in spite of poverty."
"We'll remember, mother!" and they did.

The first step in order to install NextCloud 18 is to install a web server and PHP. Although you can adapt this guide for many Ubuntu versions I suggest you to stick with Ubuntu 18.04 or higher since PHP7 is included. PHP7 brings many improvements over the past versions and will boost NextCloud too, as a matter of fact PHP7 is required since NextCloud 11. You will need root access during this procedure. The following procedure will install apache as webserver. Input the commands one by one to avoid errors!
Step 2: Database selection
Now that you have set up the environment, all that is left is to choose a database that will support the installation. You have three choices:
- SQLite: is a single-file database. It is suggested only for small installations since it will slow NextCloud down sensibly.
- MariaDB/MySQL: are popular open source databases especially amongst web developers. It is the suggested choice.
- PostgreSQL: a popular enterprise-class database. More complicated than MySQL/MariaDB.
Now, this choice won't really alter the functionality of NextCloud (except if you use SQLite), so pick whatever you know best. If you're unsure pick MariaDB/MySQL.
Step 3: Install NextCloud
The last step is to actually get the software, configure it and run it.
Step 4: Configuring firewall
This step is essential when your firewall is enabled. If your firewall is enabled you won't be able to access your NextCloud 18 instance; on the other hand if it isn't enabled you shouldn't have any problems and you can simply skip this step.
In order for the firewall to work, it must be enabled. This guide will not include this part. When you enable a firewall many things can go wrong, e.g. you're using SSH, you enable the firewall and your connection is cut and can't connect otherwise, hence you should carefully review the documentation from your distribution.
To open the ports needed by NextCloud 18 follow these steps:
Step 5: Install
Once you're done with selecting the database, it's time to install everything. Head to http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS/nextcloud/ and you will be facing the following screen:
Select an administrator username and password, then you can select the data folder, but if you don't know what you're doing it's best if you leave it with the default value. Then click on "Storage & Database" to select the database you chose during step 2. Fill everything and if you've followed all the steps correctly you should be seeing the following screen, after a short while you will be redirected to the second screen:
Step 6: Enable Caching (suggested)
NextCloud is good but it can be very slow if you don't configure a caching solution. There are two caching solutions covered in this guide:
- PHP OPcache: a PHP inbuilt cache solution that speeds up scripts execution.
- Redis server: a fast in-memory key-value store that speeds up everything in NextCloud.
Enabling OPcache
Installing and configuring Redis
Step 7: Expose NextCloud to Internet (optional)
Most people will want to access their files from whatever location they are. To do so, your newly created NextCloud instance needs to be connected to the Internet.
Given that you need to take care of port-forwarding (if you're a home user) and domain configuration (which varies according to your provider), here you can find the instructions to create a virtual host with Apache.
Step 8: Get a free SSL certificate with Let's Encrypt! (SUGGESTED!)
Now that you have your NextCloud instance up and running you're good to go, but beware: you're not safe. Internet is a dangerous place for your data and you will most likely need an SSL certificate to ensure your communications are encrypted. Provided you own a domain name you can get one for free using Let's Encrypt! No catches, free forever.

Most everyone isn't fortunate enough to win the lottery or be handed down an inheritance with loads of cash or other valuable assets. As such, United States citizens — like the rest of the world — are forced to work to earn money, in hopes of accumulating piles of cold, hard cash for early retirement or lavish living. Rather than working long hours or finding a high-paying job, virtually every wealthy person invests their money. While you can't invest a hundred dollars and expect any significant return, tucking away thousands of dollars into mutual funds, stocks, bonds, commodities, and even direct investments into businesses.
Investing money into businesses can offer substantial returns, given they quickly grow in size, scope, or value. However, evaluating business investments is more difficult than reading meaningful, objective financial information like stock market candlesticks. Here are five strategies for gauging the potential ceiling and unavoidable risks for your business investment.
Businesses' markets have plenty of room to grow
Markets without ample room for more businesses typically don't facilitate the entrance of brand-new commercial competitors following the end of the growth stage. If the business you invest in unarguably functions inside a wide-open market, your investment is likely worth it.
Its owners don't beg for more money
When businesses ask investors for money outside of regular business protocol, they're either hoping to grow, or in dire financial straits. Chances of organizations failing to return initial capital outlays are even lower when they request financing in this method, as they wouldn't ask if their financial situations were normal.
It consistently meets or exceeds projected financial performance
If you're a company decision-marker, like controllers or executives, you can avoid bankruptcy by staying within your budget. Organizations often plan how much money is needed for future operations. Going overboard creates a negative variance, which reflects negatively on management, budget makers, and businesses as a whole. Consistently expensing unplanned outflows of cash, year after year, likely represents financial underperformance, equating to bad investments.
It's great when companies buy back stock shares
Stock is issued by companies as a way to collect investments from others while providing them benefits of financial growth in well-diversified portfolios. When publicly-traded companies repurchase shares, later becoming treasury stock on the company's' books, it effectively and immediately raises the value of existing shares.
You can only make so much money through working. Dollars you earn decrease in value over time thanks to inflation, necessitating people to invest their unused income. Using these five tricks, you'll be more accurate in gauging business investments.

Tips for playing online slot games or strategies for winning a jackpot? We would like to consider them tips because there are no sure fire ways to win a jackpot. If there were, everyone would be winning all the time. These are a few tips that all online gamblers should consider before depositing their hard earned money into an online casino. It definitely will ensure not breaking your bank account and possibly ensuring longer game play and more cashouts. slot
Let's start with the most important tip of all. Do not gamble more than you can afford. There is nothing more that will bring your gaming experience down than spending money you don't have. Set an amount in your mind that you can afford to lose. Yes, lose. You can not sit down at slot games and expect to win all the time so setting the expectation that you will lose will make the winnings all the more rewarding. Do not spend your bill money, your vacation money or your rainy day money.
Secondly, set yourself an alloted amount of time to play online slots. If you reach that time allotment, stop. Even if you have not played through all the money you could afford for that session. Sitting in front of your computer, in the comfort of your home may make you want to play for hours and hours. This could lead to the possibility of you depositing more money than you wanted to. Think of it as being at a land based casino where you have to go home at some point in time, right?
Next, should you consider taking a bonus? This will depend on your situation. Are you a new player at the online casino where you are able to claim a nice welcome bonus? Or are you a seasoned online gambler that knows the ropes or has a bank account that can afford not taking a bonus? Using a bonus on top of your deposit will add money into your gaming account that will give you more game play and better chances of hitting some nice payouts. Nice payouts because you would have the option of setting your bet amounts higher, if you choose. Always read and understand the terms and conditions of all bonuses you consider claiming. There are playthrough requirements and maximum cashout requirements that most online casinos attach to their bonuses. Be prepared to play through their required playthrough amount before thinking about cashing out. Also, make sure you know what games are allowed to be played with that bonus. Some games are disallowed and if they are played, you may not be awarded your cashout.
Speaking of cashouts, make sure you find that all important cashout button. This is the tip for playing online slot games that seems to be missed by some gamblers. The objective in online gambling is winning money and bringing it home. Once you reach an amount of money that you are happy with, hit the cashout button.. You can choose the amount that you want to cash out from your total. You do not have to cash it all out, in most cases. Also, most casinos will hold your money for a 24 hour period in hopes you will reverse your cashout. Once you cash out, some casinos will allow you to request to flush your account. This means they will not hold your money for the 24 hour period. It will be gone from your account and you will not be tempted to reverse the cash back into your gaming account to keep on playing. Contact the casino by phone or by live chat as soon as you cash out and request the flushing of your account.

DIRECTED BY: Joe Dante, Carl Gottlieb, Peter Horton, John Landis, Robert K. Weiss
FEATURING: "Lots of Actors", including Arsenio Hall, Michelle Pfeiffer, Joe Pantoliano, Steve Forrest, David Alan Grier, B. B. King, Rosanna Arquette, Steve Guttenberg, Ed Begley, Jr., Kelly Preston, Ralph Bellamy, Carrie Fisher, Andrew Dice Clay, Griffin Dunne
PLOT: A collection of sketches parodying late-night TV content, anchored by a specific parody of goofy 1950s space operas.
WHY IT WON'T MAKE THE LIST: The sketch film has always been rare enough to merit a double take when one appears in cinemas, but this particular example of the form isn't especially unusual, with nothing particularly outlandish or shocking, and the majority of sketches being of the one-joke variety.
COMMENTS: Although anthologies have been a recurring genre since early cinema, the heyday of the "sketch film" variant was the early 1970s: The Groove Tube, TunnelVision, and king-of-the-form Kentucky Fried Movie all parodied television's challenge to attention spans. The form was also fairly economical, providing quick work to underemployed actors and aspiring comedy writers alike. None of these were box office bonanzas, though, so when Amazon Women on the Moon came along more than a decade later, it was fair to ask if it was a bold attempt to refresh the formula, or a last gasp for a format that had never truly lived.
Let's go with B. First and foremost, Amazon Women is a comedy, but while it has quite a few solid jokes, it reveals time and again that it doesn't have much else. Let's consider one of the film's best sequences, a vivid re-creation of 1930-era Universal horror movies starring Ed Begley, Jr. as the son of Claude Rains' Invisible Man. The black-and-white atmosphere is rich, and Begley even gets to repeat the famous bandage-removal scene. The catch: he's not invisible at all. It's a funny joke, as he obliviously cavorts about the room in the nude. The problem is, the sketch has another two minutes to go, and so we get more variations on the same joke, searching for an end.
This happens a lot. Scenes have a funny premise at their core, but then they have to keep going to justify their presence in a Hollywood motion picture: David Alan Grier sings in a super-white way—then he does it some more. A funeral turns into a Catskills roast—and we get the whole roast. Other sketches are shorter, but their jokes are smaller, too, and the scenes still feel stretched and padded. Amazon Women on the Moon has a tight five minutes; it gets an hour-and-a-half.
The film is not without its charms. The parodies have a clever eye for their sources, such as a 30s-era scare propaganda film that subtly re-dresses the same set over and over. Several performances capture the desired anarchic spirit, such as Griffin Dunne's incompetent doctor and Carrie Fisher's gullible ingénue. And every now and then, the film manages to tap into something sublimely silly; my personal favorite is an In Search Of/Unsolved Mysteries amalgam that manages to mashup the sordid deeds of Jack the Ripper with a more supernatural tale. But Moon's a film that earns smiles more than laughs.
Ultimately, Amazon Women on the Moon is "Saturday Night Live" with slightly better production values: the jokes are hit and miss, and there's a lot of work to get to the end of each sketch. It's not the worst of its kind (that would be the execrable Movie 43), but it's far from the finest. That honor probably belongs to Kentucky Fried Movie, and the filmmakers know it; references to fictional producer Samuel L. Bronkowitz mark Moon as Movie's spiritual sequel. But bad news, Sam: Amazon Women on the Moon is no Fistful of Yen.

Irish Green Sailor Bow
Looking for something to take your pup's look up a notch? Our Girlie Bows are perfect for your next red carpet event, or even just barkaritas with your pawls.
Just like our regular Geronibows, they're double-interfaced (nothing is worse than a droopy bow!).
They affix easily over the collar with velcro (the amount of hook is minimized to avoid getting caught in your pet's fur). Buttons are affixed with ridiculously strong glue, so they won't pop off. They're available in three sizes, so check carefully to make sure you choose the best one for your pet.
Small: Approximately 2" diameter (fits over 1/2"-3/4" collars)
Medium: Approximately 3" diameter (fits over 3/4"-1" collars)
Large: Approximately 3.5" diameter (fits over 1"-1.4" collars)
As with any accessories, please keep your pet safe. We advise always removing items from unsupervised pets!

259 Thames Street, Bristol | 401-254-2005
Cultured Cuisine
When you walk down the waterfront path towards the DeWolf Tavern, you instantly know you're in for a special experience. Located within a few steps of picturesque Bristol Harbor and Independence Park, the restaurant juxtaposes award-winning contemporary American cuisine with a historical setting. Housed in a 200-year-old warehouse built by the infamous DeWolf family of Bristol, the site was completely restored for the restaurant opening in 2004. Amber hues, wooden beams and exposed original stone walls welcome you as you enter the spacious, rustic restaurant. Two floors of dining rooms and bars, along with a relaxing dockside patio, offer an inviting gourmet and cultural experience like no other.
Chef Sai Viswanath, an internationally trained master chef, is at the helm of the kitchen that creatively combines the art of slow cooking with the high heat of a tandoor oven. Chicken, lamb and seafood are expertly cooked for a long time over low temperature, infusing modern flavors that are intensified when finished off in the tandoor, a primitive cooking method that can reach up to 900 degrees. The results are always succulent and tender, abounding in intense natural flavors. The innovative cuisine has been acclaimed both regionally and nationally, with praises in Esquire Magazine and Conde Nast Traveler. Chef Sai was also a 2012 semifinalist for the prestigious James Beard Best Chef in the Northeast award.
Extraordinary Events
DeWolf Tavern hosts a series of ongoing culinary events, such as wine dinners, salsa lessons and fundraisers like the annual Bristol Oyster Festival that benefits the March of Dimes. Private event space, including the outstanding waterfront tent, provides an exceptional venue for weddings, office meetings and more. A sensory experience complete with striking sunsets over the harbor, the DeWolf Tavern is a Rhode Island treasure.
Celebrate Seasons: DeWolf makes every season memorable, from cozy winter dinners by the upstairs fireplace to fruit-infused sangrias served on the al fresco patio. Boaters can dock and dine for a unique boat to table experience.
Every Night is Special: Mondays bring $1 oysters at the bar starting at noon; live entertainment starts around 7:30pm on Wednesdays; a 3 course prix fixe for $22 is available Monday-Thursday starting at 4:30; and Sundays offers a 3 course prix fixe for $32 starting at 4:30.

At T O'Sullivan & Co we can advise business owners in the Whitley Bay area on many aspects of running and growing a business. The following are ideas for an effective customer satisfaction survey...
Are your customers really as happy as you think they are? Conducting a customer satisfaction survey will reveal much about the expectations of your customers, and the extent to which you are meeting those expectations.
A good survey will allow you to identify areas of weakness and plan future ventures, and will help you to exceed expectations in the future. But if it is to be a truly useful tool, your survey must be properly executed. There is a method to compiling an effective survey - here are some key pointers:
Remember, a reasonably satisfied customer is not necessarily a loyal customer. Knowing the difference between satisfaction and total satisfaction will help you to encourage customer loyalty and allow your business to compete effectively. Anticipating problems, rather than reacting to them, is the key.
Here are some examples of the kinds of subjects you may want to feature in your survey.
Depending on your objectives, you may want to go into more detail with some subjects than with others. A survey that is focused on evaluating customer service may want to ask specific questions about a customer's experience, such as how many times they have contacted the company.
Here are two common types of question. Don't simply stick to one format: instead, use the question most likely to give you the information you want.
If you are in the Whitley Bay area and are looking for support and advice from a team of professional accountants and business advisers, contact T O'Sullivan & Co.
Our comprehensive accountancy and bookkeeping service will alleviate you of these mundane tasks.

IO::File - supply object methods for filehandles
use IO::File;
my $fh = IO::File->new();
if ($fh->open("< file")) {
print <$fh>;
my $fh = IO::File->new("> file");
if (defined $fh) {
print $fh "bar\n";
my $fh = IO::File->new("file", "r");
if (defined $fh) {
print <$fh>;
undef $fh; # automatically closes the file
my $fh = IO::File->new("file", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
if (defined $fh) {
print $fh "corge\n";
my $pos = $fh->getpos;
undef $fh; # automatically closes the file
autoflush STDOUT 1;
inherits from IO::Handle
and IO::Seekable
. It extends these classes with methods that are specific to file handles.
Creates an IO::File
. If it receives any parameters, they are passed to the method open
; if the open fails, the object is destroyed. Otherwise, it is returned to the caller.
Creates an IO::File
opened for read/write on a newly created temporary file. On systems where this is possible, the temporary file is anonymous (i.e. it is unlinked after creation, but held open). If the temporary file cannot be created or opened, the IO::File
object is destroyed. Otherwise, it is returned to the caller.
accepts one, two or three parameters. With one parameter, it is just a front end for the built-in open
function. With two or three parameters, the first parameter is a filename that may include whitespace or other special characters, and the second parameter is the open mode, optionally followed by a file permission value.
If IO::File::open
receives a Perl mode string (">", "+<", etc.) or an ANSI C fopen() mode string ("w", "r+", etc.), it uses the basic Perl open
operator (but protects any special characters).
If IO::File::open
is given a numeric mode, it passes that mode and the optional permissions value to the Perl sysopen
operator. The permissions default to 0666.
If IO::File::open
is given a mode that includes the :
character, it passes all the three arguments to the three-argument open
For convenience, IO::File
exports the O_XXX constants from the Fcntl module, if this module is available.
sets binmode
on the underlying IO
object, as documented in perldoc -f binmode
accepts one optional parameter, which is the layer to be passed on to the binmode
Some operating systems may perform IO::File::new()
or IO::File::open()
on a directory without errors. This behavior is not portable and not suggested for use. Using opendir()
and readdir()
or IO::Dir
are suggested instead.

"U.S. agriculture is connected to one in 12 American jobs, and value-added products from homegrown sources are one important way that agriculture generates economic growth," Vilsack said. "Supporting producers and businesses to create value-added products strengthens rural economies, helps fuel innovation, and strengthens marketing opportunities for producers – especially at the local and regional level."
The funding is being made available through the Value-Added Producer Grant program. Grants are available to help agricultural producers create new products, expand marketing opportunities, support further processing of existing products or goods, or to develop specialty and niche products. They may be used for working capital and planning activities. The maximum working capital grant is $200,000; the maximum planning grant is $75,000.
Eligible applicants include independent producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives, and agricultural producer groups. Funding priority is given to socially disadvantaged and beginning farmers or ranchers, and to small- to medium-size family farms, or farmer/rancher cooperatives.
The Value-Added Producer Grant program is one of many USDA programs that support the development of strong local and regional food systems as part of the Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative. Launched in 2009, the initiative strengthens ties between agricultural producers and their local communities, helping meet growing consumer demand and creating opportunities for small business development. Initiatives like this create new income opportunities for farmers, generate wealth that will stay in rural communities, and increase access to healthy, local foods in underserved communities. All of these actions boost local economies.
Today's announcement comes as more than 1,400 communities nationwide gear up to support Small Business Saturday, a day dedicated to championing small businesses on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year. This year's Small Business Saturday is Nov. 30.
Rural Development is encouraging applications from Tribal organizations as well as applications that support regional food hubs. Applications supporting value-added activities related to bio-based products are also encouraged.
Since 2009, the Obama Administration has provided agricultural producers with almost $80 million in Value Added Producer Grant assistance that has supported more than 600 innovative, value-added projects.
In Fiscal year 2012, for example, the Mississippi Delta Southern Rural Black Women in Agriculture Association received a $44,000 working capital grant to provide a variety of services in the Delta region. The cooperative delivered oven-bakeable sweet potato fries to local Head Start programs and schools; cut, washed and bagged greens for local restaurants; and delivered sustainably grown and heirloom sweet potatoes to local and specialty grocers regionally and nationwide. The sweet potatoes are processed at the vegetable facility at Alcorn State University, in Lorman, Miss.
The project is supplying emerging markets with locally grown produce to enhance production, marketing and distribution infrastructure among women and minority landowners in persistently poor rural communities.
Additional examples of how VAPGs assist local and regional food producers are available on the USDA Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food Compass, which is searchable by zip code and key word.
Grant applications are due by Feb. 24, 2014. More information about how to apply is available on page 70260 of the November 25 Federal Register, or by contacting any USDA Rural Development state office.
Secretary Vilsack said that today's announcement is another reminder of the importance of USDA programs such as the Value-Added Producer Grant program for rural America. A comprehensive new Food, Farm and Jobs Bill would further expand the rural economy, Vilsack added, saying that's just one reason why Congress must get a comprehensive Bill done as soon as possible.
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values.

Landscapes adds 3D Objects to Photo Scenery
All 97,813 sq. miles (253,335 km2) of your Wyoming flat-top photo-scenery becomes 3-Dimensional again as originally intended.. If you want to fly VFR, Landscapes(tm) makes it real again by restoring literally millions of autogen buildings, houses, trees, hundreds of regularly updated FAA Obstacles (towers, windmills, tanks, tall buildings, grain and other elevators).
Landscapes(tm) takes nuvecta's original Treeline(tm) product to the next level by adding buildings and other objects to the trees and enhances your photo-real experience. The product brings back superior 3-D to photo-scenery and photo-real.
Landscapes™ is part of a continuing line of flight simulation products designed to enhance the simulated flying of professional and amateur alike. It covers North America and many other countries to a degree previously impossible and never experienced. Currently the series blankets photo-scenery for 49 US states, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
With the series, you can complete your photo-scenery and take it to the next level with full 3D autogen. You no longer should put up with the bleak low-level flat landscape of photo-scenery. Don't put up with the approximation to reality of some products. Overcome the complete lack of real-world spatial features in the original simulation products. Fly in a VFR environment rich with the real-world format of your existing scenery and enhanced by the realistic 3D scenery of VFR-series derived from 1:24000 detail scale commercial mapping data – equivalent to USGS Topo Map detail and numerous other sources for the USA and 1:25,000 for the UK. The buildings and houses are located accurately from available GIS data and propietary nuvecta AI algorithms.
This scenery eliminates or reduces the problems produced by imagery – lack of seasonal differences, uneven colors or contrast across various tiles – by covering the ground with FS native autogen capable of reflecting time but not laid out relatively randomly and in repetitive tiles like FSX autogen and other traditional FS scenery add-ons. This 3D landscape shows what is there when you fly over a location as it should be shown.
Works with all the most popular photo-real imagery. Some photo-scenery products split the scenery into two or more areas. In this case, you simply run the Landscapes USA(tm) installer for each region as directed in the instruction manual.
The product makes no changes to your available autogen object libraries (original or any installed add-on textures) and frame rates are the same as they would be for rendering similar amounts of 3D scenery using the same setup.
For FSX and FSX-SE (for non-commercial use) and VFR-Series Pro™ for Prepar3D (intended for commercial use only)
