Customer Reviews
Almost Perfect
I've used Seasonality Go quite a while. The missing 5th star is from their last update, the startup location is maybe remembered, maybe not.
But Seasonality has the best map, and best 10-day view. I also have Storm, Dark Sky, RadarScope, etc which do well during the day. I like the customizing .... I'm constantly re-arranging for my tastes.
If I wanted to improve Seasonality, I'd look at the hourly world. I also have Seasonality Pro ... mainly use that for detailed views over a larger geography.
Seasonality Go! Is my favorite weather app
Ok, so I use The Weather App for quick and dirty checks. But when I want the detailed lowdown - how much will it rain or snow in the next X days or how much did it rain yesterday, this app is the best. The graphs are just awesome. So much info and easy to see trends.
Best weather app.
I have the Core version on my iMac, so I got the Go version for my iPad and I am not disappointed. There are minor variations from the Core version, but I am very happy with the Go version. Support was quick and spot on to help iron out a minor quirk.

News story
PM Statement on resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury
This news article was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
"As a man of great learning and humility he guided the church through times of challenge and change."
The Prime Minister David Cameron has made a statement responding to the resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Mr Cameron said:
I would like to thank Rowan Williams for his dedicated service as Archbishop of Canterbury. As a man of great learning and humility he guided the church through times of challenge and change.
He sought to unite different communities and offer a profoundly humane sense of moral leadership that was respected by people of all faiths and none.
As Prime Minister, I have been grateful for his support and advice - and for the work he has done around the world, particularly in Africa where he has taken such a close interest in Sudan. I wish Rowan and his family the very best for the future.

Election Day is finally here. Since both presidential candidates have promised us that they will return our country to prosperity almost instantly, it's time to start fantasizing again.
Everyone has a dream car regardless if they are a car person or not. Whether it's a totally reliable and economical mode of transportation they can keep forever or if it's Speed Racer's Mach 5 brought to life, we all have a fantasy of some sort of automotive unobtanium. Like any decent fantasy, it's OK if your dream car changes periodically.
My current fantasy car is a 1932 Lincoln Brunn Doublentree. Hermann Brunn of Buffalo was one of the premier coachbuilders of the Classic Era. He was a favorite of royalty and industrialists worldwide, including Henry and Edsel Ford. As a result, Lincoln automobiles were one of his favorite palettes. Brunn saw a Pinin Farina concept of a dual opening door on a Lancia show car in the early thirties. This excited him and he immediately licensed the concept and put his engineers to work adapting for use in large American Classics. The first example he made for the 1932 New York Auto Salon was a Lincoln Convertible Victoria. The 64" wide door opened both ways and was large enough so that rear seat passengers did not need to fold the front seat forward to enter or exit. The concept drew large crowds at the show. The show car was immediately sold as was a second commission. Surprisingly, no more were ever made after those two examples. Neither one has been seen since the start of World War II, but I have fantasies about discovering one.
Now that you know my automotive fantasy, let's hear yours.

George Handley's Home Waters: A Year of Recompenses on the Provo River (University of Utah Press, 2010) practices theology like a doctor practices CPR: not as secondhand theory but as a chest-cracking, lung-inflating, life-saving intervention. Home Waters models what, on my account, good theology ought to do: it is experimental, it is grounded in the details of lived experience, and it takes charity – that pure love of Christ – as the only real justification for its having been written. It is not afraid to guess, it is not afraid to question, it is not afraid to cry repentance, and it is not afraid to speak in its own name. The book deserves some time and attention. It's what you've been wanting to read. It may also be what you've been wanting to write. At the very least, it made me want to write about it. I've planned a few posts that will air some of my ideas about Handley's ideas:…

What we talk about when we talk about God
Bruce Feiler's daughter was just five when she pitched him a question right to the gut of religious experience: "Daddy, if I speak to God, will he listen?" Feiler writes books on the Bible and God for a living, so he'd presumably given the question some thought. Nevertheless he had no good answer ready for his daughter. So he did what any loving parent would do: answered the question with an inartful dodge, and then wrote about it in the New York Times style section. How do we answer our children's questions about God, he asked, when we are ourselves doubtful, confused, or otherwise conflicted? Feiler solicited comments on the matter from a formerly-Catholic agnostic playwright, a formerly-Episcopalian agnostic New Testament scholar, and a popular Conservative rabbi in Los Angeles. It's not hard to guess the direction their responses took. Among the educated elite readership of the NYT, a kind of ritualistic doubt partners with a set of tolerant gestures…
Once upon a time on earth: the Church in a changing world
In debates over controversial religious issues, one often encounters a certain kind of argument from history, a sort of "once upon a time" argument. Once upon a time, it's argued, the Church considered a given practice or belief, from witchcraft to usury to the heliocentric cosmos, to be immoral, unbiblical or otherwise forbidden. The particular practice or belief in question varies, but the structure of the argument and its implication are nearly always the same: the Church once considered such-and-such to be evil, but now it doesn't; thus by means of a progressive trope of enlightenment, the argument proceeds, the Church should also de-stigmatize and embrace the controversial topic at hand. (Often, it should be noted, these arguments are made with a great deal of care and nuance and insight.) In one sense, I'm sympathetic to this argument. I share the view that knowledge of and from God is a profoundly historical and historicized knowledge—and it that sense, it is…
An Apostle on Muslims
Yesterday, I read the following comments on Muslims by an LDS Apostle: I am aware it is not without a great deal of prejudice that we as Europeans, and Americans, and Christians in religion and in our education, so called, have looked down upon the history of Muhammad, or even the name; and even now we may think that Islam, compared with Christianity as it exists in the world, is a kind of heathenism, or something dreadful…
Ripples in History
I recently finished Victor Davis Hanson's Ripples of Battle (Doubleday, 2003), with the give-it-all-away subtitle How wars of the past still determine how we fight, how we live, and how we think. Generalizing a bit, not just wars but many major events and some small, unnoticed ones send ripples into the future, silently influencing future generations. Could the present, our present, have turned out differently?
How to write a revelation
I have been working on a paper looking at the Doctrine and Covenants, and my research has me thinking about how the texts of modern revelation were produced. I think that there are a lot of Mormons who assume that the words of the revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants were dictated word for word to Joseph. On this model, the Doctrine and Covenants is rather like the Qua'ran, which also consists of a series of revelations given to a prophet over a period of years in response to concrete historial circumstances. Pious Muslims affirm that the Qua'ran was dictated word for word in classical Arabic to the Prophet Muhammed and transmitted without error to the present. Some Islamic theologians have gone farther, declaring that the Qua'ran is uncreated in time. Rather, it is an eternal emanation of the Divine mind, the Word that was in the beginning with God incarnate in the world. (There are problems with this story of the…
A Reading of President Packer's "Presiding in the Home"
During a great discussion of our most recent general conference, one very bright young woman in my class sincerely asked, "President Packer said that 'the father presides at the table' – and I just want to know what that means."
Beliefs and Causes
Beliefs are complicated and sometimes strangely resistant to facts. I don't mean religious beliefs in particular, but everyday beliefs about how the world works and how it is that we come to hold them. That's what I took away from a recent reading of Lewis Wolpert's Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast: The Evolutionary Origins of Belief (W. W. Norton, 2006). Here's an example from the chapter on paranormal beliefs. A stage magician performed fake psychic phenomena in front of two groups of university students. One group was told that he was a magician, while the other group was told he was a genuine psychic. When asked afterwards whether or not they believed he had genuine psychic powers, about two thirds of the students in both groups thought that he did. Even when the groups who were initially told that he was psychic were told that he was a fake, half still believed he had special psychic powers. (p. 157.) What's…
Theological Anthropology at UVU this weekend
The Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology holds its 2010 conference at UVU this Thursday through Saturday (March 25-27) on the theme of theological anthropology. Invited speakers include: Terryl L. Givens (University of Richmond)—"Finding the Divine in Man: Romantic Angst and the Collapse of Transcendence"; Kevin Hart (University of Virginia)—"The Prodigal Son"; Laurence Hemming (Lancaster University)—"A Singular Humanity: The End of Anthropology"; David K. O'Connor (University of Notre Dame)—"Plato, Purity, and the Iconoclast Temptation: A Catholic Imaginarium" Other session themes include agency and grace, the natural man, human pre-existence, perfectability and theosis. The full conference schedule and abstracts of the presentations are listed on the SMPT website. All sessions are free and open to the public.
James Alison and the reconciled discourse of dissent
Last week a friend invited me to attend a lecture sponsored by the SLU Theology Club and featuring James Alison, a Roman Catholic priest and theologian. Alison grew up in Britain, was raised in a low-church Protestant tradition, converted to Catholicism, and now resides in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, living as an openly gay Catholic and working with AIDS patients. That collision of proper nouns seemed provocative. The talk was to be titled "The Gift of the Spirit and the Shape of Belonging: Meditations on the Church as Ecclesial Sign." Even more promising: Catholic ecclesiology shares something in common with its LDS counterpart, inasmuch as both traditions revere an ecclesiastical hierarchy and value orthodoxy, and I hoped that Alison's remarks might offer a wavy mirror on the shape of my own belonging. I was not disappointed. Alison opened by observing that ecclesiology, or contemplation of the church as an institution, is always a "broken-hearted" discourse, informed by communal contrition and enlivened by…
Alienated in Zion
"I say unto you, be one; and if you are not one ye are not mine (D&C 38:27)." And then comes the uncomfortable experience of sitting in Sunday School (or in the midst of some other group of Mormons) with the persistent, anxious thought, "I really don't fit in here…"
The Evolution of Excommunication
I recently went through every version of the Church Handbook of Instructions, looking at what they have to say about the operation of church courts and how it has changed over time.
The New "Opiate of the Masses"
In 1844 Karl Marx said that "Religion is the opium of the people," and seemed to suggest that its abolition would bring true happiness.
January 1 of the year 40
Happy Moonlanding Day! When I was a youth, I read a science fiction book in which dates in the future were figured from the day that Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon, apparently because the date had such significance in the history of man.
The Question of Pacifism
I'm not, by nature, a pacifist.
Grassroots-Style Dispensations
Are Mormons exclusivists or universalists?
Political Sentiments and Religious Sentiments
My own politics ocillate between liberalism (in the grand historical sense) and conservatism.
Theology in the Wake of Evolution
It's not easy being a theologian in the 21st century. One of the main reasons is that science provides credible, non-theistic explanations for many of those "where did we come from?" questions that religion once had all to itself. Evolution seems to pose a particular challenge. John Haught, a professor of theology at Georgetown, tries to tackle the problem head-on in his book God After Darwin: A Theology of Evolution (Westview, 2000).
Conscience in the Obama Era
I linked yesterday on the sidebar to Stanley Fish's latest editorial in the New York Times, which takes as its occasion the possibility that President Obama will revoke the "conscience clause" allowing health care providers the right to refuse to provide certain services. I thought I'd add a few thoughts here.*
Confronting Modernity
I recently finished up Hans Kung's Great Christian Thinkers, which reviews the work of seven theologians (Paul, Origen, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Schleiermacher, and Barth). From an LDS perspective, the most interesting of the bunch is Friedrich Schleiermacher, who Kung terms "the paradigmatic theologian of modernity." The question he presents to LDS readers is how our approach to religion and doctrine deals with modernity. Is our approach premodern, modern, or postmodern (which in theology generally means some version of neo-orthodoxy)?
Theology and Conversation
It's hard for Mormons to find an accessible doorway into theology. David F. Ford's short book Theology: A Very Short Introduction (OUP, 1999) is the first I've found to really give me some traction with this elusive subject.
A New Book for the Mormon Canon
There are a number of Mormon pamphlets and books that have achieved a kind of semi-canonical status within Mormon studies. Everyone agrees, for example, that Parley P. Pratt's Key to the Science of Theology or John Taylor's Mediation and Atonement are key texts for understanding nineteenth Mormon thought. If any evidence is needed, both texts, I believe, are still in print. At the very least both have produced modern reprints. I have a proposed addition to the canon, George Q. Cannon's A Review of the Decision of the Supreme Court in the Case of Geo. Reynolds v. the United States.
Intellectual Conversion
Seven Storey Mountain is Thomas Merton's autobiographical account of his increasing restlessness with a worldly life. He converts to Catholicism and eventually enters one of the most strict (the strictest?) Catholic orders: a Trappist monastery. What has fascinated me
The Totality of Mortality
When I picked up my manual to prepare to teach Gospel Doctrine this Sunday, I figured it would be a lesson about the spirit of Elijah (second week = section 2 = turning hearts, etc). I was surprised and delighted to find that Lesson 2 is instead about the atonement, highlighting powerhouse passages in Doctrine & Covenants sections 19, 76, 88, and 93. While reading the material I was reminded of a favorite quote from Chieko Okazaki on the topic and had a hankering to share it.
Call for Papers: SMPT at Claremont, 2009
The Society for Mormon Philosophy and Theology's 2009 conference will be held at Claremont Graduate University, May 21-23, in cooperation with the Howard W. Hunter Chair of Mormon Studies and the Claremont Mormon Studies Student Association.
Rhetoric, Ideology and Prop 8
In the run up to and in the wake of Prop 8, Latter-day Saint proponents of the measure have often tried to parse their words carefully when discussing their support for it in order to avoid charges of bigotry and hate for opposing the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry. Echoing a refrain from the late Gordon B. Hinckley, Mormon Prop 8 supporters have often tried to explain that they are "not anti-gay, but pro-marriage." This effort, however, has clearly failed to shield members from allegations of discrimination.
Teaching the Reformation
Just as I went to publish this post, I saw Ben's post about the conference on Mormons and Evangelicals. It's a nice coincidence. As are the recent posts by Kent and Marc on labeling and categorizing. I was already scheduled to attend another conference this week, an annual conference for historians of the Reformation (surely you knew about it), where I'll be part of an ongoing panel devoted to issues in teaching. This year's issue is "Defining Protestantism," as everyone is rightly concerned about labels we impose on people. Five or six scholars make up the panel, and we all get about 10 minutes to reflect on our particular experience with that issue. I'm supposed to talk about teaching the Reformation to Mormon students, both in general and in regard to defining Protestantism, as some of the panelists are wondering how Mormons fit or not. I'm planning to touch on some of the following, but would be happy to hear…
The Difficulty of Theological Interpretations of Mormon History
Providing a theological interpretation of Mormon history is tricky. I've argued elsewhere that one of the reasons that Mormons care so much about history is that in some sense they regard it has having a normative force. Part of how we understand God's will is by offering an interpretation of our past that sees in it the working out of God's purposes. On this view, God is involved in the story of the Restoration and a careful parsing of that story will reveal something about God. This, of course, is the sort of thing that sets the teeth of professional historians on edge, and avoiding this sort of interpretative frame work was one of the central obsessions of the New Mormon History. For the record, I am sympathetic to the NMH and I think that we gained a tremendous amount of insight and understanding by bracketing theological questions and just trying to understand the nuts of bolts of past events…

Brian McDermott, the Leeds coach, was pleased by his team's tenacity as they ground out a hard-fought Super League victory over Wigan last night.
McDermott got the response he wanted after last week's 32-8 home defeat by Huddersfield but was still frustrated by his team's inability to finish off their opponents.
The champions led 18-8 after an hour thanks to tries from Ryan Hall, Joel Moon and Jamie Jones-Buchanan, all converted by Kevin Sinfield to take his career points tally beyond 3,500.
But they missed two other glaring chances and Wigan struck back through former Leeds rugby union player Iain Thornley to add to Liam Farrell's first-half try and set up a tense finish.
"We weren't great last week but tonight we showed a lot of resilience and a lot of grit to get the game," McDermott said. "I didn't think we were great with the ball, although we had two clear-cut chances for tries and bombed them. We've a smile on our faces but it was a frustrating win.
"It was a tight game, I thought both teams defended each other out of the game."
Wigan were hit by the absence of Sam Tomkins, who missed out after picking up a "dead" leg in his club's last training session. "Leeds are a great team and you can't turn up here with ordinary errors like we did," said coach Shaun Wane, whose father passed away this week.
"I lost my dad on Wednesday, which is sad," he said. "I needed a distraction and wanted to get back in work as soon as I could. It was a poor finish to the week. I was proud of our effort but individual errors cost us.
"The changes affected us," he added. "It was a late change with Sam and a few people played busted. I still believe we had a team that could come here and win but you have to commend Leeds. They can grind out wins."
Leeds: Watkins, Vickery, Ablett, Moon, Hall, Sinfield, McGuire, Leuluai, Burrow, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Delaney, Bailey. Substitutes: Ward, Kirke, Achurch, Moore.
Wigan: Richards, Charnley, Goulding, Hughes, Thornley, Green, Smith, Flower, McIlorum, Crosby, Tuson, Farrell, O'Loughlin. Substitutes: Dudson, Taylor, L. Tomkins, Burke.
Referee: R Silverwood (RFL)

I'm the knight in shining armor
that saves damsels in distress
But love isn't one of my virtues
only friendship that is my best
I'll save you from your dragons
but I can't save you from your self
Though I'll be your friend forever
only God can save you from hell
I'd like to stay in your castle
yes that's what I'd like to do
But I hear another damsel calling
for me to slay her dragons too
Where's your prince been hiding
why isn't he at your side
For I've got to be going
before another damsel dies.

As the car trundles slowly towards the summit, the thoughts of the foolhardy thrillseeker ascending the Oblivion rollercoaster at Alton Towers in Staffordshire tend to dwell on the more fundamental questions of life: its transience, its fragility - and how, under the wrong circumstances, a vertical drop at high speed from a very great height can bring it rather swiftly to an end. Once the car has reached the precipice, though, there's no time to think: screaming participants are plunged face-first into a black hole at 70mph, their bodies withstanding forces reaching four-and-a-half times that of gravity. It takes several moments, at the end, before paralysing terror is replaced with a surge of relief, exhilaration and an overpowering smugness towards those who opted to wait on the ground instead.
In recent months, though, a hand ful of riders on some of the world's most stomach-churning rollercoasters in the US and Japan have been reporting some more disturbing sensations: persistent headaches, symptoms of blood clots in the brain which, if left untreated, can cause brain damage, seizures, and even death. This month, America's consumer product safety commission put at 16 the number of reported cases of brain damage believed to be related to the extreme g-forces experienced on white-knuckle rides. In one of the most serious incidents, Japanese researchers reported that a 24- year-old woman had been diagnosed as suffering from subdural haematomas - ruptured veins on the brain's surface, better known as a key symptom of shaken baby syndrome - after taking a 70m plunge on the giant Fujiyama rollercoaster.
The thought that one's safety might be in immediate and serious danger is, of course, as crucial to the thrill of a good rollercoaster ride as is the underlying faith that death won't actually result from the experience. And, by and large, the industry has an excellent safety record: 500m rides are purchased in Britain each year, but the nightmare mechanical failures - the loose screw, the insecure harness, the heart-stopping mid-loop halt - are so rare as to prompt just 400 accident reports to the health and safety executive in total. Theme parks enjoy reminding critics that the chances of having an accident while driving to an attraction are seven times greater than when riding on it; equivalent US figures show that fishing is 17 times more dangerous.
But the new generation of giant rollercoasters are raising a different kind of safety fear, as parks race to outdo each other in speed, altitude and nerve-shattering terror. This is not a field in which records remain standing for very long, but the current leaders - according to the Rollercoaster Club of Great Britain - give a sense of the territory: Millennium Force at Cedar Point, Ohio, is the tallest conventional rollercoaster at 95m; and Superman - The Escape, at the Magic Mountain park in California, the fastest, firing riders down its 377m of track at 100mph, exposing them to forces approaching those previously only experienced by astronauts and jet-fighter pilots.
"We suspect that many cases have been overlooked," warned Toshio Fukutake, a neurologist at Chiba University in Japan, who wrote the Fujiyama study. He acknowledged that the problem was rare, but added: "Giant rollercoasters that are higher and faster than typical roller coasters may be more dangerous_ the woman's subdural haematomas and resulting headaches may have been caused by the up-and down, back-and-forth motions of the rollercoaster, or the acceleration force may have been strong enough to rupture veins on the surface of her brain."
Haematomas - usually encountered in older men suffering from alcoholism, hypertension or diabetes - are extremely rare in younger women, but eminently treatable: eight weeks after presenting her symptoms, the woman made a full recovery. But her case adds weight to earlier studies of "rollercoaster headache", including a paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1995 in which the effects were likened to whiplash injuries."The swooping ride induces marked rotatory and other positional changes in a deformable brain that is moving within a relatively rigid skull, thus causing tensile and shearing stresses," the authors observed.
The forces experienced while hurtling down hundreds of metres of steel tracks demand years of professional training in other contexts: astronauts reach a g-force of 3 during the launch of the Space Shuttle; Blackpool Pleasure Beach's £12m Pepsi Max Big One - so tall it requires aircraft warning beacons from the Civil Aviation Authority - subjects riders to 3.5g; Alton Towers' Oblivion reaches 4.5. Only jet-fighter pilots experience a greater hammering - and they wear anti-gravity suits to pump air around their lower bodies, compressing blood vessels to prevent the rapid drain of blood from the head as g-forces spiral towards 9 and 10.
The British Association of Leisure Parks, Piers and Attractions is adamant that no British rides have ever been linked to these risks. "We are aware that there are a number of rides in this country that exert moderate g-forces, and there is no evidence that this is known to affect people's health, providing that passengers follow the operators' safety warnings and advice," says a spokesman for the group.
In any case, much as theme parks crow about them - "Some TV Gladiators were actually sick after sampling the world's ultimate white-knuckle ride," says Alton Towers of its 4g Nemesis attraction - high forces are not all they seem. "You can't compare absolute figures," says Volker Damman, head of medical operations at the European Space Agency and an expert on the effects of space travel on the human body. "It depends on how long you're exposed to high forces for. On a rollercoaster you're talking about milliseconds and you can experience that turning a sharp bend in a car.
"It also matters how your body is positioned: the worst is vertical force, pushing blood away from the head. Russian astronauts on the Soyuz withstood 5g for much longer, but they were lying on their backs. It was much, much harder for them to breathe, but the blood was drawn from their chest to their back, which is less of a problem."
Ultimately, all this may be of some concern to those who spend endless hours on some of the world's biggest rollercoasters: men and women of impenetrable motives such as Richard Rodriguez, the American who seized the world record for the world's single longest rollercoaster ride by spending 1,013 hours onboard in 1998. For the rest of us, sheer, jelly-legged terror may prove a surprisingly effective form of preventative medicine.

About The Spa at Boar's HeadYesterday, I had a great massage at the Boar's Head Inn and Spa. Mary, my massage therapist, gave such a wonderful massage I fell asleep! All the staff are helpful and professional! I can't wait to return!--TripAdvisor, July 2016Juleigh gave me an upper body deep tissue massage and it was AMAZING. She had exactly the right blend of deep pressure and relaxing touch. I also loved the steam room. The entire staff was welcoming and the space is relaxing.--TripAdvisor, July 2016
We spent two days being pampered. We had several massages, exfoliating body scrubs and facials and a mani/pedi. The staff was wonderfully capable and did not talk unless we initiated the conversation. The potions they used on us made us glow and feel soft and the wonderful aromas made us feel happy. We stayed in the little blue house off the main hotel. Our room had a little terrace overlooking the spa and the lake. The beds and pillows were comfortable; we woke refreshed and happy.--TripAdvisor, January 2016

I don't know how to pronounce Ottilie, but where I'm from, "OTT" comes out as "odd" pretty much every time, so saying "OTT-uh-lee" sounds awkward as heck to me, and "ODD-uh-lee" sounds like a stretched out "oddly". The German "o-TEE-lee-a" is GORGEOUS, though!

of the ones I've seen). Another expression seems to be shown in
cultivars like 'Splashcata', 'Jitterbug', 'Apache Rose', 'Chutney',
and 'Lightspeed'.
> Dave
This site contains the original defination of Luminata and all sorts
of intersting information on them including documation of crosses of
Luminata X glaciata producing luminatas, further evidence of three
glaciata genes and one luminata gene.
The following is the defiition
"....The definition of luminata as worked out by the Panel reads,
"Luminata is a genetically reproducible anthocyanin pattern having its
color present in an irregular marbling in the central areas of the
petals and absent in the peripheral areas. The marbling effect is
produced by non-anthocyanin veining (white or yellow), and there is no
anthocyanin in the hafts, the stylearms or the beard." It is the pale,
or "lighted" effect at the heart of the luminata variety that gives
the name its validity. It is a pattern quite distinct from one which
has the marbling overlaid with the etching or dotting of the plicata
pattern, a combination type from which it has not been adequately
distinguished in terminology, color classification, or genetic analysis."
None of the examples you posted meet this definition. They all have
anthocyanin in area around the beard and in haft area. Some have
marbaling but not as in the definition or in centre of falls.
This site also has a list of zonals with photos, this list includes
Victoria Falls, Clarence, Suky and Violet Music.
Ketith Keppel also posted an article on luminatas on iris-talk on Feb
03, 2003. Relevant part is pasted below
" In luminatas, there is a wash of color (the water-soluble ones, as
with plicata) over the blade of the fall. There is a tendency for
this wash to be paler, or missing from the veined areas. There is a
tendency for the petal margins to be devoid of the water-soluble
pigments. This is very obvious in some
varieties, such as Spirit World, very subtle in others. There is
ALWAYS a clearly defined area around the beard which has NO
water-soluble pigment, not a single dot, and the beards carry no blue
or purple coloration. Style arms carry little to no water-soluble
pigment. New variations on the pattern are coming. The unmarked
ground area around the beard is expanding, forming larger and larger
blazes, or extending as a spear pattern. The pale veining on an
almost-completely marked fall is changing to broad veining or banding,
with "islands" of pigment rather than an almost solid wash."
With the three known plicata alleles Plicata (pl), luminata ( pl-u)
glaciata (pl-a) ( not counting the Pl gene which if present once
eliminates plicata pattern and can be considered fourth allele) we
have 15 genotypes. Most of these have not been given a name and many
are fairly similar to each other and some have coresponding
non-plicata look likes. As I have discovered, the Anthocyanin
Enhancemet gene can interact with other pigment distribution genes
such as the plicata series, giving different phenotypes ( appearance)
to the same genotype.
I hope to eventually identify each genotype with its phenotype. This
is a huge project. I have been getting help from various hybridizers
who have been collecting data from plicata crosses and hope to as much
help as possible from others making crosses involving zonals,
luminatas, glaciatas, broken colours etc.
Hope this information helps distinguish luminatas for you.

A very common question from people when they first start learning Korean is which to use, ㅔ or ㅐ, 'cause as I say in the videos, they both sound virtually the same.
The answer to this is that it is virtually the same as learning how to spell in any language, which basically just requires experience and practice. For most words in Korean, they can generally just be sounded out and spelled phonetically, but in this case, because it's going to be more difficult to hear the difference, you more or less just have to remember the spelling, more specifically which words use ㅔ and which use ㅐ.
I wish I had a "magic pill"-like answer that would make it much easier, but unfortunately I don't. The bright side of it is though, is that there are not so many cases of this sort of thing in Korean. However, a few other cases that are like this are…
When to use ㅗ and ㅓ. For a lot of words, it can be easy to tell the difference, but there are still a significant number of words which are more difficult. I remember when I first started learning Korean and I tried to spell the word "where". I wrote 오디 ('cause that's what it sounded like to me) and my boss at the time just laughed and corrected it to 어디. That's how I learned that word, and I never forgot it.
Another case: when to use ㅚ, ㅙ, or any of the other ones that look and sound like these. The same thing applies (just experience and practice), but I will say this, that those two are definitely the most common and if you were going to just pick one, pick one of those two, not the others.
Hope that helps. Happy learning, and I'll speak to you soon!

Fantastic evening with Mustafa - went places would not have seen without a guide. Great fun and terrific value for money. One of the best tours I have done
Recenserad av: irbybrain , maj 2015
The guide Mustafa was friendly and knowledgeable. He took us off the tourists route in to the old Medina where we ate among the local people. Everything we tasted was delicious!
Recenserad av: Sarah E , mars 2015
We had a wonderful guide to make this the best thing to do in Marrakech. Wonderful experience not to be missed. Too much food !
Recenserad av: Cameron S , december 2014
We are so pleased we took this tour. The guide was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and took us to areas that were fascinating, that we would never have found on our own. We had samples of all kinds of food, that were really nice. This tour was very much an educational experience, learning how much the different kinds of food are rooted in the Islamic culture and calendar, and we very much enjoyed it. We would absolutely recommend it to others.
Recenserad av: kenneth.piana , maj 2014
Great experience. Small group. Lottsa local food and drink along the way. Great guide. All ended in a dinner experience in the square that you'll never forget.
Recenserad av: Rebecca B , december 2013
Really interesting and excellent value. Our guide was very knowledgeable, showed us around the food markets, explaining various traditional foods and arranging for us to taste them. We would not have been able to do this alone.We ate right in the heart of the square and the atmosphere was amazing!
Recenserad av: Bina P , februari 2016
Our tour guide Salim was very informative and answered all of our questions. The tour was very fast paced and only lasted 2 and 1/2 hours it was hard to keep up at times due to heavy crowds in the evening. We had a good group which got on well, would definitely recommend if you want a feel for the real Morocco.
Recenserad av: Fred A , maj 2014
Overpriced for what we got. I thought we would taste exotic Marrakech items as advertised instead of approximately tiny tastes of about 10 different sweets, a bowl of non-descript soup and a hunk of beef!
Recenserad av: Jean H , april 2016
Our guide came late and left early without saying goodbye, our announced 3.5-hour tour lasted 2.45-hour. Our guide was very softsponken and difficult to understand, but he was a very fast walker challenging to keep up with, Our guide didnt follow the tour description i.e. we didnt taste the challenging delicacies such as sheeps head, cows hoof or snail soup, known as ghoulal.Lastly, and we didnt visit a restaurant on Djemma El Fna just as the evening reaches its height, and we didnt enjoy a traditional Moroccan meal with your group as you take in the square with its peddlers, snake charmers and entertainers.
This so called Food Tour was a waste of time and money.
Recenserad av: Joybelle , Australia, april 2016
Right from the meeting point this tour kept falling apart. No organisation, no food tasting until at least an hour in. We were walked and walked often arriving at spots to have the tour guide in conflict with the food stall, no communication. Eventually we did start food tastings but it was tooooo late, we were over it. Could easily do this yourself.
Recenserad av: Matt K , april 2015
It may have only been our guide, but this tour is absolutely not worth the money. He provided no insight into the foods we were eating, kept walking too fast through the souks and losing the entire group, and there was not enough food to justify the expense. At one point, he left us with some argan oil salesmen who gave us a sales pitch for 30 minutes while the guide left us. There is no traditional dinner, unless you count some lamb from a chain off the square. Avoid this tour it made me question my future business with Viator.
Recenserad av: Rhodé S , december 2014
The tour guide did not show up and the tour did not take place. The Guide told me over the telephone he did not know about my booking but that I would be compensated. I lodged a complaint through Viator's prescribed channels, but I got no response. I was looking forward to this tour very much. I paid a lot of money. For absolutely nothing. I am, understandably, not impressed at all. I feel robbed and let down.

In 2003, the PRC launched the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS), a health insurance scheme run by counties, to address the high out-of-pocket expenditures for health care in rural areas. Funding for NRCMS is provided by central and local governments on a per capita basis (CNY20 in 2003, CNY80 in 2009) and rural residents contribute a fixed amount on a voluntary basis (CNY10 in 2003, CNY20 in 2009). NRCMS has made great progress; in 2008, it covered 100% of counties, and in 2009, it enrolled 833 million people, resulting in an enrollment rate of 94%. NRCMS represents a major step toward a rural health financing system that is more equitable, through reducing out-of-pocket expenditures for health care, and also more efficient.

When a customer buys from the same merchant that his parents, grandparents, and maybe even his great-grandparents did, the brand becomes more than a brand, it`s a family tradition. Few brands have that kind of heritage to mine, and fewer do it as effectively as 92-year-old L.L. Bean does. "We consider ourselves fortunate to have customers who feel so strongly about the brand," says e-commerce vice president Mary Lou Kelley.
Case in point is LLBean.com. On top of customer comments gleaned from its call center, ongoing usability research, and a comprehensive annual usability review involving hundreds of users, L.L. Bean this year launched a mechanism to gather customer feedback about products directly from the site. Featured on the home page, department pages throughout the site and in its customer service area, shoppers can submit open-ended comments with one click.
That continuous input results in a web site so well-tuned that Patricia Seybold Group senior vice president Susan Aldrich uses it as the standard to illustrate what she calls "the four `E`s` of e-merchandising-emphasis, environment, excitement and education. L.L. Bean does a good job with all of them," she says. The home page, for example, emphasizes the cross-channel experience by not just offering a link to order the catalog, but also showing a picture of it. "The site works for excitement and education by showing top-sellers on the home page and offering an extensive guide to choosing outerwear," she adds. "Those are merchandising tactics that also help customers accomplish what they need to accomplish."
LLBean.com this year put its own spin on the growing custom trend among retailers by offering custom backpacks online. With more than 350,000 possible combinations of colors and features, it was a huge hit during the back-to-school season, Kelley says--in part because Bean worked with its supply chain to shave delivery time on custom orders to two weeks.
Kelley adds that e-commerce sales at L.L. Bean are growing year over year at about 30%, catching up to the catalog in overall volume. In fact, they may soon do more than that. "Our current trend suggests that within a few years, the e-commerce channel will be the larger of the two," she says.

**Internet Retailer Top 300 Guide est., 2003
Shoppers at Neiman Marcus know that the store is all about top-name designer brands that are not available just anywhere. And it`s no different at NeimanMarcus.com, where brand names rule.
Making this high-end merchandise available nationally is a major function of the web site. "We`ve reached points of distribution through our web site that were not possible before," says Brandon Hoffman, president and CEO of Neiman Marcus Direct. Indeed, he points out that about half of Neiman Marcus` online sales are to customers outside regions served by its stores.
But in making designer products available nationally, Neiman Marcus never lets the customer forget who she is shopping with. "When you shop at NeimanMarcus.com you get the sense that you`re shopping at an upscale store. The graphics, product imagery, service, everything says high end," says Lauren Freedman, president of The E-Tailing Group Inc.
But while selling to new markets, Neiman Marcus doesn`t forget its loyal customers. The store has an aggressive e-mail program that three times a week updates customers on latest trends in fashion as well as alerts them to special promotions and events occurring not only on its web site, but in its stores.
As part of its strong customer service, Neiman Marcus has begun using a personalization feature that alters what customers see on the Neiman Marcus home page. Based on what the store knows about the customer, the merchandise on the home page will vary slightly--a single male shopper, for example, won`t see as much women`s apparel as others see.
To get consumers to visit the site from search engines, Neiman Marcus has continued to invest in brands. "We don`t pay to show up on searches for generic terms like bedding or shoes. We pay to show up on brand searches," Hoffman says.
For the near future, much of Neiman`s emphasis will be on helping high-end designers sell even more merchandise online. The retailer has a deal with designers David Yurman and Salvatore Ferragamo, whose current web sites refer customers to stores or online retailers. Soon the two will offer their own online boutiques where shoppers can make purchases. These shops will be co-branded with and managed by Neiman Marcus.

Orson Welles' "Othello" is one of his least-seen films, but it inspired one of the best-known anecdotes about the master's impoverished work conditions. The movie was shot in bits and pieces between 1948 and 1951, with the actors sometimes languishing on location while Welles flew off to raise more money. Improvisation concealed a multitude of shortcomings. On the day when Welles was prepared to film the murder of Cassio, for example, the costumes had not arrived, or had not been paid for (the stories differ), and so he simply moved the scene to an old Turkish bath and dressed his actors in towels.
The result probably looks better than it would have otherwise, which is often the case with a Welles improvisation (he keeps the camera close to a flurry of blades and swordplay). But "Othello's" compromises were not all so happy, and the resulting film, made only a decade after the boy wonder had conquered Hollywood with "Citizen Kane," was a ragged production with a soundtrack that was badly out of synch. Even after winning the Palme d'Or at the 1952 Cannes Film Festival, it failed to open in America until 1955, and since then has been seen only rarely, in shabby 16mm prints.
Yet there was a film there. From its opening shots, where the camera looks down on a solemn funeral procession, "Othello" exhibits Welles' flair for dramatic compositions. Instead of the tame eye-level visuals of many films of Shakespeare plays, where the camera is content to watch great actors saying great words, Welles approached "Othello" as a work intended at least equally for the eye.
Part of his approach was born of necessity: He could not afford to record sound on many of his locations, and so he placed the camera to make the actor's lips invisible, shooting over shoulders or at oblique angles. He planned to dub the dialogue in later. He was also handicapped by a revolving-door cast; his final Desdemona, Suzanne Cloutier, was the third actress in the role. Continuity was made even more difficult because some scenes were shot on locations in two or even three different countries, a doorway in Morocco leading to a piazza in Venice.
Welles finally pulled the whole project together, dubbing many of the voices himself. But watching the film was distracting; the dubbing was so careless that there was often no correlation between the words and the lip movements. And so the film remained, intriguing but imperfect, until Welles' daughter, Beatrice Welles-Smith, teamed with Chicago producers Michael Dawson and Arnie Saks and they went looking for the materials to restore the film to its vanished glory.
The tattered 16mm prints were obviously unusable, but in a New Jersey warehouse they found a long-mislaid 35mm master negative of the movie, along with the soundtrack. (There is poetry in that New Jersey warehouse; remember that Charles Foster Kane was headed for just such a place in search of his own childhood, the night he met Susan Alexander.) The visual print was in good condition, apart from some messy splices. But the soundtrack was a mess. Everything - dialogue, music, sound effects - was recorded on one track, and although modern digital technology allowed the restorers to isolate the dialogue, how could they recombine it with the rest? Eventually they commissioned composer and arranger Michael Pendowski to start all over again, re-recording the score with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the Lyric Opera Chorus.
Then the words were dropped back in again by audio expert Ed Golya and sound engineer John Fogelson, who re-created the sound effects. They filtered out the noise on the original track, and the audio is now in digital surround stereo, with the dialogue and the lip movements in much better synch.
The entire restoration cost more than $1 million. There is irony in the fact that if Welles had had that kind of money, no restoration would have been necessary. The restorers now claim that "Othello" looks and sounds better than it ever did before in its checkered history, even on the night when it won the Cannes festival.
I'm sure they're correct.
The film itself is a strange experience, always visually interesting but sometimes difficult to follow. A close familiarity with Shakespeare will help, even though Welles, as usual, takes great liberties with the original play. "Othello" is essentially a tragedy based on words that lead to misunderstandings; Welles films it more as classical tragedy, with processions, poses, ceremonies and dramatic visual compositions. The movie opens and closes with an event unknown in Shakespeare, the funeral procession of the bodies of Othello and Desdemona, and proceeds with interplay between Welles, as the Moor, and Dublin actor Micheal Mac Liammoir, founder of the Gate Theater, as a curiously engaging Iago in his only filmed dramatic role.
This restoration, a labor of love, came preceded by "The Filming of Othello," a 1978 German TV documentary (in English) that was unreleased in the U.S. until 1987. It featured the now aged Mac Liammoir sharing drinks and memories with fellow cast member Hilton Edwards in a Dublin pub. Welles himself hosted the film, sitting at a Moviola, smoking an outsize cigar and holding forth with memories and recollections. Even in the documentary, Welles cannot seem to focus on "Othello," and his anecdotes wander here and there while we see only tantalizing glimpses of the film. Now his "Othello" is available as he presumably intended it - almost in spite of himself.

Linux authentication with Active Directory using Kerberos 5
Section by Section
The configuration files are divided into sections for the four PAM module types: auth, account, password, and session. The auth section defines two alternative authentication methods in order to determine whether the users are who they claim to be (lines 2 and 3). PAM prompts the user for a password once only, and Kerberos checks the credentials (line 2). If this step is successful, pam_krb5.so requests a TGT with a set forward-capable bit to use the ticket on a remote system.
If successful, the authentication process tags pam_krb5.so sufficient and terminates without processing any additional modules.
Second Chance
If authentication fails, PAM calls the second module, pam_unix.so, to check that the user account exists locally (line 3). If PAM fails to reach the authentication server, root can still log in. The module argument use_first_pass, means the second authentication method reuses the password entered by the user instead of prompting again. Thanks to nullok_secure, there is no need to set a password in the local password file. Although you can log in with a blank password, you can only do so on terminals listed in /etc/securetty.
After PAM has finished processing the auth type modules, it goes on to execute the next include. The common-account file again contains two modules, pam_krb5.so and pam_unix, and is responsible for handing system access.
The PAM account service checks the user's password to see if it is still valid or if user access to the system is restricted with respect to time, resource usage, or location.
If the user exists and is allowed to log in, PAM turns to the next stack of modules, which is described by the common-password file. These modules give users the ability to change their passwords. In contrast to the normal procedure on Linux, which only allows users to change their own passwords, the Kerberos module gives any user the ability to change any other user's password. However, to do so, the user needs to know the current password for the account they are changing.
Session Management
Finally, PAM calls the modules configured in common-session. The session type is responsible for all the additional authentication chores. The remaining steps can include setting variables or mounting directories. Within the scope of this PAM service, pam_krb5 fulfills a very important task: it deletes a user's tickets when the user logs off.
After completing the configuration, any PAM-capable program can use PAM to access Active Directory. For example, the GNU Display Manager (GDM) offers both local and domain user accounts as login candidates and launches the required session after authentication with the Kerberos server (Figure 5).
As a final step, Active Directory users will need a home directory. If the NSS does not have any details on the directory, or if the directory does not exist, Linux will either send the user off to the root directory or it will not let the user access the system – despite successful authentication – because a desktop environment such as KDE needs to read and write to certain files that just do not exist.
