Hotel at a Glance: Inn Magnolia
Built in the 1880s, Inn Magnolia sits in a charming neighborhood in Gloucester, a coastal city known for its fishing industry and fine arts. The Georgian-style house is decorated with antique furnishings, old books, and plaster mouldings. Within walking distance, you'll find beautiful landscapes such as Magnolia Beach and conservation land.
- Charming spaces: Main-house rooms have period furnishings. Annex rooms are beach casual, with cable TVs and open-air decks.
- Morning nibbles: Enjoy a continental breakfast of pastries, fresh fruit, cereal, and hard-boiled eggs.
- Downtown Gloucester: Art galleries, seafood restaurants, and antique shops line the streets.
- Hammond Castle Museum: See Renaissance artifacts, a secret passageway, and some of the former owner's inventions.
Gloucester, Massachusetts: Lighthouses, Humpback Whales, and Artist Colonies
About 35 miles northeast of Boston, the fishing community of Gloucester is home to one of the country's oldest working seaports. Here, you can take a harbor cruise around the half-dozen lighthouses that stand sentry over the Atlantic Ocean coastline, some of which date back to the 1780s. These lighthouses aren't just for show: some believe the Cape Ann Light Station on nearby Thacher Island saved the life of President Woodrow Wilson. On a particularly foggy evening in 1919, a passenger liner carrying President Wilson narrowly avoided a coastal collision after the lighthouse sounded its foghorn blare.
More recently, Gloucester was thrust into the national spotlight after Sebastian Junger authored The Perfect Storm, the true story of an epic nor'easter that hammered the fishing fleet and Cape Ann in 1991. The 2000 film starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg was shot on location in one of Gloucester's picturesque harbors. Massachusetts was also named 1 of 10 great places in the world to spot a whale by USA Today. From April to October, several whale-watching tours explore the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary in search of breaching humpback, minke, and fin whales, and the mermaids who train them.
Gloucester also boasts one of America's oldest working artist colonies, Rocky Neck Art Colony. Quintessential American artists such as Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper once called the waterfront community home. Photographers, painters, and potters continue to practice their craft here today, with numerous exhibition galleries open to the public.

Confident of growth; see margins in 4.2-4.5% range: HDFC Bk
Aditya Puri of HDFC Bank Puri expects margins in the range of 4.2-4.5 percent. However, there could be some minor impact on margin which would be made up in the rest of the year," he adds.
Aditya Puri (more)
Managing Director, HDFC Bank |
" Our margins range in the 4.2-4.5 percent and that remains intact. Our NPLs range in 1-1.2 percent, that remains intact "
- Aditya Puri (Chairman)
Speaking to CNBC-TV18's Latha Venkatesh, he said that the private sector expects its growth to continue given the fact that it does not have any loan growth pressures.
"Our NPLs range in 1-1.2 percent, that remains intact and we have a substantial operating leverage, because we have gone into rural India and opened almost 45 percent of our branches there in the last two years and taken our entire product range there. So, we are absolutely confident of growth," he elaborated.
Meanwhile, he expects the 10-year bond yields to settle in between 8.4-8.6 percent range, because the RBI will focus primarily on controlling inflation and that has to be built into the pricing.
Below is the verbatim transcript of Aditya Puri's interview on CNBC-TV18.
Q: How much points will you give first monetary policy statement on a scale of 10?
A: I will be a nut not to give a 10.
Q: What does it mean basically to a bank? Does it mean a higher cost of money because repo rate has gone up?
A: The difference from where I can see your question is coming from and the way I look at it. I look at it over a period of time. So, I would rather define where I see the policy taking me and the economy than just saying what happens to this repo rate because that rate can also change depending upon the state of the economy.
I am very happy with the policy for two reasons. One, it clearly sets out the basis on which policy will be decided and what is the end result. So inflation is important, growth is important and the rupee stability is important.
It also says that whatever measures were taken in July to stem the movement of the rupee based on favourable trends continuing will be unwound. The disruption came with the July measures.
First thing he has done is on the short tenor 75 basis points down, this will bring the call rate down, the certificate of deposit (CD) is already down to 9.5 percent, it will bring the CD rate further down. It will bring the rates in terms of bulk deposits down which is a large proportion, it won't happen overnight, so don't ask me when will you lower your base rate because there is an issue in transmission.
He had clarified that liquidity will also come as the foreign currency non-residential (FCNR) deposits keep coming in and the regular monetary policy will be restored once he has confidence in terms of the actual functioning of the economy. So, I don't think we could have asked for more.
Q: What do you think the cost of money will look like? Is it likely to inch up or lower?
A: In the short run it will inch up a bit. In a six month horizon, it will go down.
Q: What has been your response in your bank to the FCNR (B) product? Is it a decent response and do you see it increasing by November?
A: Yes, absolutely. Any product that we introduce is four days old. It takes a while for it to gather momentum. But this is the best opportunity NRIs are going to get in their life. Where the hell can you take almost a country risk or a bank risk and depending upon the number of times they leverage you get between 16 and 18 percent. So, there will be lot of money coming in there.

You can thank profligate Japanese royalty for Tatcha's elegant blotting papers: during Imperial times, handmade paper was used to protect gold and silver as it was hammered into decorative gold leaf. Geishas used the leftover papers, flecked with precious metals, to keep their skin matte.
When I went to Europe this summer I brought these blotting papers with me. I don't know if it was the humidity or change in diet but I felt I was blotting a lot more. Although the blotters worked great it felt like they filled with oil too quickly. I would have liked a small powder finish that would rest on the face after blotting. Otherwise, I am home now and I am able to blot less often but I would still like a small amount of that powder.4

SIM unlock US Cellular variant?
I've been looking around for a while, trying to figure out the answer to these questions but can't.
-If I buy a moto x US cellular variant (contract free, off ebay), can I SIM unlock it and use it on a GSM carrier (like Bell in Canada)?
-Also, do the different variants have different radios?
-Also also, if I buy a new unopened moto x off ebay, is the warranty still valid?
Thanks for any info!

No1 Personal Trainer in Birmingham:
Tailored personal training plans to
help YOU reach YOUR goals
Whether you want to transform your body for something special, improve your fitness for a challenge, lose weight
or just want a better quality of health, we will provide you with the expertise to help you reach your goal.
Get our fitness and weight loss tips, direct to your inbox
Simply fill in your details below, and check your email!
What Fitness Goals Can We Help You With?
I Want to Lose Some Weight
Need help to lose weight loss? Don't worry, you're not alone. We ca nhelp you with a specifically tailored fitness program, just for you. Your journey back to your ideal weight will not only be fun, and entertaining, but deliver the results you want.
Complete a Challenge
Planning a charity fun run, a sponsored walk, or some other challenge that you might need to be a little fitter for? We can help. You're probably fitter than you think, and with a little personal training, you could be ready to complete the challenge with ease.
I Want to Get into Shape
A lot of our clients start talking to us by saying "I want to get into shape". Lots of people over time become a little more seditary, and that can lead to expanding waitlines, and a reduction in fitness. A Personal Trainer can help get you back on track!
We don't just train you; we build a Rock-solid foundation to your health & lifestyle.
We have over 16 years of experience and has helped hundreds of people just like you to achieve their goals, whether it be getting back into shape or losing weight, resuming training after an injury to completing a triathlon, or achieving a life long challenge.
All programmes are tailor-made to suit your fitness level, goals, and circumstances. We cover the entire Birmingham, and the surrounding areas, in locations that are convenient for you, whether it be at home or a local park.
Personal training is a very personal thing and what works for one person won't always work for someone else. During the initial consultation we will learn about you; what your goals are, what has stopped you from achieving your goals, and what it will take to get you to achieve your goals.
Achieve Your Goals!
Whether you want to transform your body for something special, improve your fitness for a challenge, lose weight or just want a better quality of health, we will provide you with the expertise to help you reach your goal.
Why You should train with us
We will deliver the sessions in a relaxed and friendly style, which gives you the encouragement that you need to push harder and achieve more. I will make it easier for you, whether it be training you near or at your home, at a time that works for you and tailoring the sessions to fit your goals while making them motivating and fun.
Home Based Training
Most of all it is about getting results, by establishing a training programme that you will enjoy and understand what actually motivates you to push just that much more, I will put everything into place to make sure that you will achieve your goals.
Most of the people that I train have tried gym based programmes before which have not worked for them. They often find the gym very intimidating, demotivating, and inconvenient. Training from home is a great alternative. You do not have to travel, you will be in an environment that you feel comfortable in, which means that you are able to train more effectively.
For some, an indoor programme is ideal, privacy increased confidence and comfort. It is as convenient as you could wish for and training in all types of weather is not for everyone.
Although, training outside in the fresh air really does appeal to many of my clients, so using the local park for sessions is also a great option. When you are in Sutton Coldfield, the benefit of having Sutton Park on your doorstep will provide a great training ground.
Whether you have chosen to train outdoors or indoors, or perhaps a combination of both, I will travel to you and bring the needed equipment that is needed. Everything will be taken care of, so there cannot be any more excuses.
If you are wondering what a personal trainer in Birmingham is all about, take a quick peek at the "Is it for me" section to help you to make your choice or you can click on the "Testimonials" to see what my clients have to say about the services that I provide.
Take a look at our video!!
Whatever your reason for wanting a personal trainer, we will supply the right level of expertise, motivation, variation and to suit your goals. People decide to use a personal trainer for many, many different reasons, BUT, it usually falls within one of these four categories; Expert Guidance, Motivation, a Varied Training program or they ultimately need the extra push to Achieve your goals

You Know Nothing About Code
Guess what? Neither did that friend of yours that makes a salary of $150k writing code every day.
The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know — the less you know, the more you think you know.
- David T. Freeman
Nearly every day I find something that I do not know.
I'll admit today I discovered that I know nothing about rails plugins. Yup my youth is showing, I am a young rails 3 baby.
Everyone starts knowing nothing about something.
It would be nice to plug a wire into our brain and instantly download knowledge on a subject. Unfortunately, that's not how it works. It takes hard work to get it to stick in your head. And It always starts with realizing you don't know something.
So get used to it. Don't be a know-it-all.
At first when I was freelancing regularly it was hard for me. There is pride on the line, and my ego would put up a good fight to stay ahead. I would employ the fake it 'til you make it strategy pretending I knew how to do things when I didn't.
Then one day I came to terms with not knowing. I was tired of pretending. From then on, when someone would ask me something that I did not know, I would fight to suppress my ego, and quickly admit, "I don't know." Usually followed with "but I'm sure I can figure it out."
Being honest with myself
As I had this new attitude towards my absence of knowledge, I quickly and keenly became aware of the rapid pace I was learning things.
Instead of always feeling like I was playing catch-up with what I was supposed to know, I was recognizing how often I was saying "I don't know, but I'll figure it out" and with that, also seeing how often I was successful at figuring it out.
It was a much more rewarding result.
My humble beginning into websites was in 1998. I viewed source from other websites, trying to make sense of the HTML, and copying/pasting snippets that seemed to work together.
Don't believe me? Here's proof:
Yup that's me at 14, working on my Zelda 64: Ocarina of Time fan site. Plagarized walk-through guides for the water temple, awesome text images from cooltext.com (which apparently hasn't changed much in 15 years), black background and neon green text, the whole kit and caboodle.
Where to start if I was starting today?
This is a question I get asked a lot. I will include more specific guides and resources on where to start in my newsletter.
Here I think it is important to reflect on some of the things I did right and wrong in the early days of my journey into code.
What I did right?
I never stressed or compared myself to those far beyond my level. I just focused on what I knew, how I could use it, and what I wanted to know.
I tried to find ways to apply new knowledge to current projects. Or create a project around the new knowledge.
I always tried to solve problems I felt were just outside my reach from what I already knew, and not too much more.
I enjoyed the journey along the way, not having an end in mind.
I learned to love the learning process.
What I did wrong?
A lot.
I didn't have any friends that shared the same interest.
I didn't find a community or group that I could join and learn together.
I didn't read books earlier.
I didn't contribute to open source more.
Take Away
First things first, admit and be aware of the things we don't know. Embrace them as opportunities and not as faults.
Start simple and do what sounds fun. Make it a hobby and try not to plan too far in the future as you are learning. Learn to love to learn and enjoy the process.
Keep learning projects realistic, but difficult enough to enable you to grow.
The project may be as simple as typing out a static "Hello World" page in html, or as complex as building a load testing and benchmarking system for your current multi-instance running web application.
Here is a great video created by Code.org that highlights some of why coding is awesome.

"We hope to simultaneously break down existing information silos and create a shared space for those who work on urgent global problems," says Hasler. "Individuals no longer need institutional affiliation to develop solutions to the problems in their communities." Built using existing open-source community tools, OpenInnovations will connect citizens, researchers, and practitioners tackling pressing issues, creating a place to post and remix the components of high-impact ideas.

The Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage is a research and educational unit of the Smithsonian Institution that produces the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, exhibitions, documentary films and videos, symposia, publications, and educational materials.
We also maintain the Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archives and Collections, conduct ethnographic and cultural heritage policy oriented research, and provide educational opportunities through fellowships, internships, and training programs. In addition to the Folklife Festival, we produce major national cultural events, such as the National World War II Reunion, the First Americans Festival for the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian, and the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in September 2016.
Our philosophy is to join high-quality scholarship with strong community participation and engaging educational outreach. This has led to activities that have affected cultural heritage policies and practices at local, national, and international levels. Programs and products have earned serious scholarly review, popular acclaim, broad media attention, and professional recognition. Our staff is culturally diverse and extremely productive, combining interdisciplinary scholars with technical specialists.
Activities at the Center are funded by federal appropriations, Smithsonian trust funds, contracts and agreements with national, state, and local governments, foundation grants, gifts from individuals and corporations, income from the Festival, and Folkways product sales.

Judicial bodies may come under RTI
NAGPUR: The chief information commissioner (CIC) office is set to come out with a ruling which may define the extent of applicability of the right to information (RTI) over judicial or quasi-judicial bodies.
It pertains to a case relating to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), Delhi, where some specific information about a case was denied. The ruling is expected in a couple of days or so, countryâs chief information commissioner Wajahat Habibullah told TOI. He was in the city to attend a meeting at the National Academy of Direct Taxes (NADT), which has been declared a centre of excellence for RTI.
In the case, information about certain aspects of the ruling already pronounced by the ITAT, which is a quasi-judicial body, was sought. However, the public information officer (PIO) of the ITAT refused the information maintaining that it was out of the RTIâs purview. The issue is being examined and a ruling would be out soon, mentioned Habibullah. The ruling would throw light on various aspects explaining how far RTI Act can be applied on judicial bodies, he added.
About other plans, he said stress is being laid on holding public hearings through video conferencing. The new system has already picked up doing away with the need of the parties concerned coming all the way to Delhi. Such hearings can be arranged in any city which has a national informatics centre (NIC). Lately, hearings through video conferencing have been arranged in 90 cases, he said.
He also said that in a commendable development a lot of slumdwellers in Delhi have been using the RTI Act to know about their rights. So did the Act bring to fore a lot of information about schools in Delhi. Though the schools did not directly give the information to the applicants it was submitted before the CICâs office, he added.
Habibullah added that a cabinet committee is reviewing the exemptions from RTI allowed to certain government departments for which it is felt that those should not have been exempt. The issue has been pending with the cabinet for the last six months or so, he mentioned.

Judicial proceedings beyond RTI Act's purview: CIC
NEW DELHI: In a landmark decision, the Central Information Commission (CIC) has ruled that judicial proceedings of all courts and tribunals are beyond the purview of the Right to Information Act.
"...a judicial authority must function with total independence and freedom. Should it be found that an action initiated under the RTI Act impinges upon the authority of that judicial body, the Commission will not authorise the use of the RTI Act for any such disclosure requirement," a full bench headed by Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah said in its 22-page order.
Terming any intrusion in regard to judicial work as "unnecessary", the bench noted "judiciary is independent and all judicial authorities including all courts and tribunals must work independently and without any interference insofar as their judicial work is concerned".
The order came on an application of Delhi-based Chartered Accountant Rakesh Kumar Gupta, who had sought from the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) copies of minutes as maintained by members of its bench in an Income Tax assessment case of Escorts Limited and had also asked for inspection of the case records.
The matter which was taken up with the CIC following ITAT's denial of the information, was contested by the tribunal on the ground that as per relevant rules of Income Tax Act, such copies of its orders could only be provided to the concerned assesses.
The tribunal further contended that Escorts Limited had "strongly objected" to such inspection of the records which contained their IT assessment details.

I like this - a cross between the Lonely Mountain and Everest. Perhaps one could even make it such that the mountain has gotten higher over time - much faster than normal - making its hazard much greater than when the dwarves dwelled there.

I like this - it could even work as a form of one-time-pad, which is nearly unbreakable.
Another feature would be the knots and such must be unraveled to be read, making it almost impossible for the message to be intercepted, read, and then passed on. This is a big deal since not receiving the expected message, or one with signs of tampering can warn someone.

I think this is an excellent idea, though it depends upon your magic being loose enough to accept this. Some fictional (aren't they all) examples of circle use are so exacting as having a hair drop across a line is sufficient to blow the protection. With such standards, a carpet would be play Russian roulette with 5 rounds loaded.
For D&D though, or lower-stakes magic, I see this as perfectly fitting.

All the more reason to have _your_ magic items checked by a certified professional...
I could see the most jaded of murderers enjoying this item, for it would allow them to feel something where perhaps they no longer could normally.
But that would not stop them, no. Simply providing the exquisite sorrow that their cold heart could resist.

Really cool - with the various detriments listed make it perilous to rely upon.
I suppose it would be possible to carry more then one to help get around some of the issues, though that may be prohibitively expensive.
