Bones Quotes of the Week: On Sex and the AmishMatt Richenthal at . Comments
On this week's new episode of Bones, the series dealt with a pair of contrasting topics:
Cam's daughter's Michelle was considering having the former for the first time; while Brennan and Booth investigated a murder in Amish country.
The resulting Bones quotes reminded viewers of why they adore this show: it combines drama with mystery and humor as well as any series on TV. Below is a sampling of how various character responded to the pressing subjects above:
Booth: You make it sound like it was a class that you took. You know, the first time you should be in love. You know, totally goo-goo for the other person.
Brennan: Were you when you were sixteen?
Booth: Well part of me was. | permalink
Michelle: I'm scared. Is that weird? I mean, it's just sex, right? It's all over the TV and everywhere.
Cam: Whoa, there's no such thing as 'just sex', Michelle. Every time you give a bit of yourself to the person you're with. So it's okay to wait as long as you want.
Michelle: I don't want to lose Perry.
Cam: If Perry doesn't understand how you feel, he doesn't deserve you. | permalink
Booth [on the Amish]: We reject Satan and they reject buttons. | permalink

I start with a empty Synfire with no instrumentchannels
How do i get a global rack with the wizard?
Why not choosing a type arrangement : local or global and then assign racks for it?
I start with a empty Synfire with no instrumentchannels
How do i get a global rack with the wizard?
Why not choosing a type arrangement : local or global and then assign racks for it?
This is a total mess now with the soundassigning ..try now to add global racks
detect?.. and extract from plugin and with the plugin assigning .. open global rack and a switch : remember Global Rack
Rackmodules and device description you create here are available only to this file only....Please this is not userfriendly and this is ridiculous
Looks it like becomes unworkable now the soundassigning with this vague programming
It is not a strong point for cognitone..to be userfriendly
To add sounds to the global rack, use the wizard on a global instrument (it's available there too). You can not edit the global rack from an arrangement's instrument inspector.
It hangs here...cannot go further to add a global rack
Global instrument and a global rack they have nothing to do with eachother ?
Why i cannot choose a global rack in the wizard ? ( using the wizard on a global instrument for a global rack?)
I am totally lost here with this confusion naming.
There are (local)racks for a arrangement for one time use and there are (global)racks for a arrangement for many time use
To add sounds to the global rack, use the wizard on a global instrument (it's available there too)
That's the instrument inspector of the arrangement. The label "Global Rack" means a sound of the global rack was assigned. The red color indicates it was not found. Clicking on the wizard button here will not jump you to the global rack (I see how this could be confusing).
If you want to add new sounds (plugins, devices) to the global rack, go to the global rack (Playback >> Audio & MIDI Setup, or the toolbox icon). Go to the "Global Instrunents" tab and use the wizard button on each instrument you want to assign a (new) sound.
If you want to select an existing sound for instruments in the arrangement, choose so on the first wizard page there.
There are (local)racks for a arrangement for one time use and there are (global)racks for a arrangement for many time use
Yes, that's the point.
What has the global instrument tab to do with the global rack tab ?
This naming is also confusing global sounds and global instruments
I am doing the soundassigning by hand then ..bypassing the wizard, because it is not leading directly for getting a global rack (a global rack is not named in the wizard? )
Global instruments are used for palette surfing, progression preview, scale playback, metronome, etc. They have a fixed role, but their sounds can be changed.
The global rack provides the sounds for these instruments. And for any arrangement that wants to use global sounds as a shared resource to save load times and/or memory.
I do want to do something with a global rack and not with a global instrument rack ... they must be separated
If i could design a wizard then seems to be logic to ask first what kind of arrangement do you have in mind and then assign sounds to it.
The soundwizard is for me useless with no "global rack" to choose and i do it by hand now the soundassigning
Do you agree that the wizard is unworkable for choosing a global rack?
To be honest, I don't understand what you are trying to do. If you want to build a global rack, open the global audio settings. Setting up a global rack has nothing to do with an arrangement. The rack will still be there, after you closed the arrangement.
If you want to use a sound from the global rack, use the wizard and select "Browse all available sounds". The browser will show you all global rack sounds (plus the local arrangement sound) to choose from.
Is it possible to choose a global rack in the soundwizard by choosing a option : global rack ?
A global rack has the property that it can be used for many arrangments what uses the same sound over and over again.
Example : let me add some global racks for classic music and make a arrangement template for it
It should be a idea to add the option to choose in the wizard : make a global rack template + and make local rack template
Global rack cannot be choosen in de wizard..how is this possible
As long i cannot choose "global rack(s)" in the soundwizard as radiobutton option its is misssing it goal as soundwizard seems to me.
How about other users of Synfire?
"Use a global instrument" has (must) nothing to do in the soundwizard with: "use a global rack"
I think janamdo is saying that he wants to use the wizard to add a new instrument to the global rack. A far as I can tell, the wizard can only add an arrangement rack module but not a global one, so you still have to add a global rack module manually. Apologies if I've misunderstood but I've only recently started using the wizard.
Yes, Pete that's what i try to make clear, but at Cognitone this is too difficult to understand..haha
Userfriendlyness is the keyword
To be honest, I don't understand what you are trying to do. If you want to build a global rack, open the global audio settings. Setting up a global rack has nothing to do with an arrangement. The rack will still be there, after you closed the arrangement.
The wizard is for setting up a single instrument, not for setting up a rack. It offers the convenience to add sounds and devices on-the-fly, while you configure the instrument, without the need to vist a rack.
If you want to setup a rack, visit the "Sounds" tab and add your modules, plugins and devices as needed. This is a completely differrent task not related to instruments.
If you add an instrument to your arrangement and feel it should use a shared, global sound, you'll need to add that sound to the global rack first. I understand this is an extra hoop to jump through, if that's what you mean.
I strongly doubt it's a good idea, if an arrangemement was able to modify a global rack randomly at will. What if multiple arrangements did this? How do you make sure it's the correct global rack that is being modified and not the cool rack you set up yesterday for another project? The user should be in control and decide which global rack to edit, what to add to it, how to name it and where to save it. All this should not be a side-effect of adding an instrument to some arrangement.
That's why Synfire requires you to visit the global rack editor, if you want to modify it.
I thought that a global rack was not bounded to a arrangementfile
With the wizard i fill only synfire with some global racks like can be done to fill Synfire with the arrangements rack,but the arrangement racks are now bounded to the arrangement.
Think of the global rack as sort of a master arrangement that is always open.
Building a global rack demands a bit of plannung and thought, because it often hosts larger sound libraries and includes a master and effects bus. You would rather not build that on-the-fly on an "instrument by instrument as needed" basis. That's why there is no "put on global rack" option for the wizard. It's easier to do such work on the "Sounds" tab.
I understand.. i hope new users of Synfire are aware of this.
In the soundwizard can be written as reminder : for setting up global racks go to global sounds tab (put the icon here)

It begins with the fight over which pizza to order. 'Non Veg Extravaganza'….'No, I want only Chicken Sausage'. It carries on to who will open the Domino's box when the pizza is delivered. It takes a twist when one takes all the Oregano flakes. 'Mom, usne phir se saara Oregan le liya.' It reaches a fitting climax when the last slice remains. But that is where the fun lies too. The fun of sharing a pizza with your brother and sister and fighting over the last slice.
On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, think of all the sweet n sour moments that makes your relationship with your sibling so enriching and memorable. You can't live with them and you can't live without them.
The most unusual and yet, stable bandhan of them all.

5 examples of self-hosted Digital Commonwealth school project blogs
The Digital Commonwealth project allowed for participating schools across Scotland to set up their own website, work with existing class Glow blogs/e-portfolios and/or partner websites (trainer blogs, education scotland etc) to produce and host their content. This wasn't always straight forward, as access varied between schools, catchment areas and local authorities, but we tried to find a solution for learners to host their content in an open and public way, not just behind the digital gates of their own school. This allows for parents, friends and other participating schools across the country to be able to comment, share and learn from the experiences and stories of others. This sits within the original principles of the project to encourage those taking part to feel confident enough to develop and share public content within a safe online environment.
One of the techniques we used to host content was to give classes who did not have the facilities to create a blog was to develop a wordpress blog on our Digital Commonwealth server as a sub domain of this website. This allowed for the visiting trainer to centre the their digital commonwealth project around a core site, giving learners and teachers the chance to see their online contributions emerge online over the time spend working on the project – without having to gain existing access to school account blogs. It meant that we could give the project a certain level of autonomy from the existing activity in the school, allowing in some cases for each learner to contribute their own blog post and multimedia post.
Here are 5 examples of where you can use a simple blog framework, using a default template and existing social media platforms (youtube, audioboom & embedded tweets) to create a project blog in a schools' context:
Inchinnan Primary, Renfrewshire
Inchinnan primary is a small community school on the edge of Glasgow airport's runway. They took part in 4 workshops over 3 days – 1 day before the summer holidays and 2 days after. They used their digital commonwealth project to reflect on their games experience – and used tools such as easispeaks and took part in organised photo challenges to get creative about their response to Glasgow 2014. You can check out all of their content here: http://inchinnan.digitalcommonwealth.co.uk/
Our Lady of the Missions Primary, East Renfrewshire
Our Lady of the Missions Primary in Giffnock took part in 4 workshops over 4 weeks at the start of term following the games. Each member of primary 7C wrote their own blog post about their games time experience, practiced interview skills using easispeaks and uploaded to audiobooms – and during video week managed to script and record an interview with local games celebrities – including Team Scotland Gymnast Amy Regan. All the content produced on their site was made by the learners – who got the chance to improve and edit their contributions over the 4 weeks before uploading collectively during the last workshop. You can check out the content here: http://olmprimary.digitalcommonwealth.co.uk
Rothesay Primary, Argyle and Bute
Rothesay Primary on the Isle of Bute had 4 sessions over 4 weeks with 3 different trainers – using the theme of sport on the island to pull together their content. In the first week, learners worked as groups to develop a blog post between them about the island – each tackling a different theme. The second week, they invited local residents who were passionate about their participation in sport (from football to shinty) to be interviewed, having prepared questions in advance. The third week they produced videos about their favourite places in the school – which then got picked up by the island's local paper The Buteman – and the final week, they learnt about social media – especially twitter – when one of their tweets from their primary school account went 'viral' being shared nearly 1500 times during the session. You can check out their content here: http://rothesay.digitalcommonwealth.co.uk
St Athanasius Primary, South Lanarkshire
St Athanasius Primary in Carluke worked with an existing history project around the mining community in the area called Pits, Ponies, People and Stories. They used their blog in a reflective manner, encouraging each learner to write a short piece about what they learned from their visit to local museum. Trainer Jim Gellatly then worked with them to produce a short audioboom about their experiences. You can visit their site here: http://southlanarkshire.digitalcommonwealth.co.uk/
Renfrewshire Young People
The final group was based across Renfrewshire from a mix of youth groups in the area. They took part in the Digital Commonwealth workshops during the summer on UWS's paisley campus. Using the theme of #positivepaisley, the group learnt about video, audio and photography – creating content about the city and where they were from. The ages in the group ranged from 8-18, so it wasa very different experience to the schools based project – but it offered us the chance to work with local community groups and provide some extra-curricular learning in the process.

Adrian Zackheim was appointed senior VP, publisher of HarperBusiness, which now becomes a stand-alone publishing division. John Silbersack becomes senior VP and publishing director of HarperPrism, the specialized science-fiction and media imprint that also becomes a stand-alone publishing division.
Brillstein book to Little, Brown
Though several publishers were interested, Little, Brown managed to pick up the pub rights to manager Bernie Brillstein's memoirs "I Have to Stop Doing This Before I Go Blind."
Little, Brown executive editor Fredrica Friedman will edit the memoir, co-authored by David Rensin.Book is expected to be published sometime next year.
Brillstein was repped by the William Morris Agency's Dan Strone.
Strone also repped one of the first books purchased under Diane Reverand's new imprint at HarperCollins, "Act First, Apologize Later" by Adam Werbach, the 23-year-old president of the Sierra Club. The book, an environmental activism and leadership guide, is billed as a call to arms for young leaders in the MTV generation.
King ransoms Lehrer novel
Indie producer Robert J. King has given a new lease on film life to broadcaster/novelist Jim Lehrer's 1988 novel "Kick the Can." King recently picked up the film and TV rights to the coming-of-age road tale.
The novel tells of the story of a young desperado — dubbed the "One-Eyed Mack" because he lost an eye as a child during a game of kick the can — and his odyssey through the Southwest on the eve of the Korean War.
Lehrer, who currently anchors and exec produces "The Newshour With Jim Lehrer" on PBS, was repped on the deal by Joe Regal of the Russell & Volkening agency in New York.
Jessie's journal goes to war
Warner Books shelled out more than $1 million last week for the publishing rights to "The Life of Jessie Lee Brown, From Birth Up to 80 Years," the memoirs of Jessie Foveaux, a 98-year-old Kansas woman whose life story became the subject of a bidding war after she was profiled in the Wall Street Journal.
Warner threw out the winning bid after several rounds of offers came in with a floor set at $375,000.
Written in longhand when she was 80, the memoirs give a candid account of Foveaux's marriage to an alcoholic husband and her raising of eight children during and after World War II.
She reportedly now is working on a second set of memoirs chronicling the last 18 years.

Graphene-fed silkworms produce super-silk
Image credit: Fastily at en.wikipedia
Silkworms fed mulberry leaves sprayed with graphene or carbon nanotubes produced super-strong carbon-enhanced fibres in an experiment by Chinese researchers.
The team from Tsinghua University led by Yingying Zhang used a silk production method that has been standard since ancient times, which involves cultivating silkworms on mulberry leaves and harvesting their cocoons once the worms start pupating. The cocoons are subsequently dissolved in water to extract individual fibres, which are then spun into a reel.
The only difference in the 5,000-year old production technique was spraying the leaves with a liquid containing 0.2 per cent of graphene or carbon nanotubes.
After collecting the cocoons, the researchers found that while the worms excreted a portion of the carbon nanomaterial, part of it got incorporated into the silk fibres.
The researchers said that trying to reinforce already spun silk would be much more complicated as it would require dissolving the nanomaterials in toxic chemical solvents and applying those to the silk.
The team believes their method is both extremely environmentally friendly and suitable for large-scale commercial super-silk production. Such a material could be used for manufacture of durable protective fabrics, biodegradable medical implants or eco-friendly wearable electronics.
In experiments, silk from the carbon-fed worms was able to withstand 50 per cent higher loads than conventional silk. Heating the fibres to 1050°C, which led to the carbonisation of the silk protein, showed that the graphene-enhanced silk is electrically conductive - something that ordinary silk is not.
Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy imaging showed that the carbon-enhanced silk fibres had a more ordered crystal structure due to the incorporated nanomaterials.
The researchers are not entirely sure how the silkworms, which spin the fibres from a solution of silk protein produced in their salivary glands, incorporate the carbon nanomaterials into the silk.

We kicked off the baton twirling season with a performance at Groton Fest. The girls did a sampling of their baton routines from last year and did an awesome job!
Lauren has been twirling since she was 4! I twirled for years when I was young and had no idea how much she would enjoy it. She is having a blast and now in her 4th year competing. Here is Lauren's Junior Team. They have been twirling together for 3 years.
They started off their show with their marching routine with all the girls.
Then her Junior Team did their Step In Time Routine.
It is such an adorable routine.
This is my favorite action shot. They both caught it.
They also did a routine to Uptown Funk that they made up last year during their Twirl-a-Thon during the holiday break.
This one has a lot of props with trumpets, flags, hats, and batons.
The girls also did a little guitar action in another Pom Pom routine.
They were also in a World of Color routine.
Lauren doing flag.
Great job ladies!!! You did awesome even with the sun in your eyes.
Check out the Suburban-ettes Website! Your daughter might like to try something new and baton twirling is a ton of fun!

Gabe Newell and JJ Abrams: What Could Be In Store?
Today two of the most famous nerds, Gabe Newell and JJ Abrams, took to the stage at DICE 2013 to discuss "Storytelling Across Platforms". This included various arguments about their mediums and the respective storytelling techniques but there was something that has peaked my interest. JJ Abrams said "There's an idea we have for a game that we'd like to work with Valve on," and Newell replied "We're going to find out if there's a way we can work with you on a Portal and Half-Life movie." Could this be simply teasing fans? Could a Valve game written by Abrams become a reality? Could a Bad Robot film (JJ Abrams' film company) convert one of Valve's beloved games into a block buster movie? I will attempt to conjure up nerd dreams of collaborations between the two.
The two Portal games have become brilliant additions to any gamer's collection. The first game, while short, boggled my mind for large sections and had me retracing my steps to figure out how I managed to get that cube to that space! The second had more of a story driven experience than the first, allowing the player to explore the background of Aperture and GLaDOS. However, the games do not cater to a film audience very well. There is no other speech except for that of the psychotic computer GLaDOS and Wheatley, Stephen Merchant's brilliant artificial intelligence. Both he and GLaDOS would be easy to recreate in a film. Now, while these are perfect personalities to introduce to the movie-goer masses, main character Chell is not. There are no lines for her to say and, being a first person game, no way to measure her emotions / reactions. This is a major issue with the adaption of this franchise, one that I am sure JJ Abrams would jump at trying to resolve. My personal issue with this is that every player deals with each level differently, meaning each person has a different experience to the next. Surely this will be lost in the transition to film?
A Half-Life film has been floating around for the past few years. Since the release of the first game, Gabe Newell has been inundated with pitches by Hollywood studios begging for the rights to make the film. Newell has not been impressed. In an interview with PCGamer he said: "Directors down there wanted to make a Half-Life movie and stuff, so they'd bring in a writer or some talent agency would bring in writers, and they would pitch us on their story. And their stories were just so bad. I mean, brutally, the worst." He has now seemingly found the perfect film company to work with if stories across the web are true. While it has the initial problem of a main character who does not speak for the entirety of the story (like Portal), this can easily be bypassed in this instance. The wealth of characters surrounding Gordon that speak regularly and have intricate personalities can make up for the lack of speech from our hero.
A good example of this is the fan made film "Enter the Freeman" which focuses on other characters for the most part, keeping it tense and mildly unnerving until Freeman enters and acts all badass. Using this way of storytelling, with a character keeping things close to his chest will give the film a mystery element, something JJ Abrams craves (See his TED conference on "The Mystery Box" to see what I mean).
Half-Life 3 / Episode 3 / Anything Half-Life with a friggin' 3 in it!
How amazing would it be for the filmmaker who has rebooted Star Trek, who has the reigns to Star Wars in his hands and who can write a story with more twists in it than a human can count (I am looking at you Lost!). Not only would we get an amazing story, we would actually get the game. Finally. Would this even entice gamers who know all about his films but have (somehow) not been drawn to the Half-Life series previously.
A New IP
Valve has had rumours floating around for a while of a game named "Stars of Barathrum". This has been said to be an open world Science Fiction game. Pieces of concept art were posted by a user who was said to know a great deal about this game (seeing as this is not confirmed, take this as a rumour only…for now). The concept art was drawn by concept artist Peter König, an ex-Valve employee who was employed by them in 2008 and released in 2012. (Thanks to GamingBolt)
The Sci-Fi genre is Abram's speciality and with an "open world" game of this scope, a high profile writer/director could be a good push for a new IP to sell.
Outside Bet:
Star Wars Episode VII
Not ever in a million years will this be anywhere close to happening. Valve taking on a major franchise? I can only dream.

New thinking on PeelsSubmitted by karen on Wed, 11/11/2009 - 16:18
Tradition acid peels are a great way to wipe the face clean of sun damage and break outs. I've done them for years, and still continue to do them on occasion. However, I've started doing them a lot less often, here's why.
The buildup of Scar tissue is the down own side of peels. Up until lately this build up of scar tissue was the best alternative to aging & damaged skin. However recently new thinking and products have starting coming out that offer a better alternative to acid peels; Facial Infusions.

Marketing Tips for the Small Business in Four Easy Steps (1 of 4)Submitted by carollord on Thu, 06/04/2009 - 14:52
Many small businesses want to grow, after all, the bigger you are the bigger your profits, you decrease the cost of production, and you thrive! You can increase growth in five different ways for your business. They include:
- Acquiring more customers
- Keeping your current customers
- Persuading each customer to buy more products
- Persuading each customer to buy more expensive products
- Persuading each customer to buy more profitable products
All five of these increase your revenue and profit. Let me encourage you to focus on the first, which is to acquire more customers. Why? Because by acquiring more customers you increase your customer base and your revenues naturally increase. And, without more customers, you can't do the next four bullets.
Networking - The Power of NumbersSubmitted by mikel on Tue, 03/31/2009 - 12:53
The expression "It's not what you know, it's who you know," has powerful implications in marketing and business development. Having experience and credentials are crucial. They are the first step in securing business, regardless of the field. Equally important, however, is gaining access to people, information, and opportunities. Networking provides this access. It involves building and nurturing personal and professional relationships to create a system or chain of information, contacts, and support.
Marketing Plans for a Small BusinessSubmitted by mikel on Fri, 03/27/2009 - 17:38
Marketing is the lifeblood of every business and it's critical that a growing small business invests time, energy and financial resources towards building their business. It's also important to remember that nothing stays the same - Everything by the nature of its existence is either growing or shrinking - and your business is not an exception. If you are depending on hope or good luck to build your business, than you may be missing some important elements.

This marvellous, panoramic apartment comprises four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an amazing sitting room, a very ample dining room / kitchen, a terrace / roof garden with views of Rome's sights and domes. It is situated in an authentic historical noble palace, in the heart of old Rome.
It is located in the Campo de' Fiori area, bordering the Jewish quarter. Piazza Navona, the Pantheon and the Roman Forum are a stone's throw away. The palace faces the world-acclaimed Turtle Fountain, which can be seen from its windows.
The apartment is situated at the highest floor of the palace. You can either take the elevator or the sumptuous grand staircase. The palace is owned since 1578 by the Italian noble Costaguti family, which merged over the century with another noble family of Spanish origin. The resulting family counts a king, two cardinals, two viceroys and a saint, a number of generals, nevertheless they are extremely kind and hospitable landlords, keeping seriously their commitments, and they are also a pleasure to meet. When asked, they always have one more historical fact or anecdote about Rome to recall. The palace, illustrated in all history / architecture books / sites, has great character, yet it is also very inviting, and it will make you feel at home from the very first moment.
For its high position the apartment is very bright, and from its most panoramic terrace / roof garden you will be able to dine 'al fresco' amidst Rome's domes, sights and old roofs. Also from its windows you have great views of the nearby palaces, churches and of old Rome's roofs, and as mentioned it overlooks one of Rome's jewels, the Turtle Fountain.
The apartment is app. 210 Sq. Mts. (2,260 Sq. Ft.) large, it was just perfectly renovated. It is silent, inviting and very bright. Each room is beautiful and charming in its own right, whether for the beautiful tiles, décor, furniture, paintings of old masters, ceilings, or views. There is also a second terrace with table and chairs, perfect to drink a glass of wine, or to relax while reflecting on your past sightseeing or to write emails.
The sitting room is astonishing. It still preserves the original late Renaissance (16th century) coffered wooden ceilings, and each of the 168 'lacunars' or coffered frames has a painting of a different species of birds. In the walls you find finest frescoes of peacocks, spaced out with the intriguing coat of arms of the Costaguti family. The floors are also spectacular. They are made with extraordinarily elegant tiles displaying beautiful design, different in the various rooms.
You find four bedrooms, two matrimonial and two twin beds, endowed with different personality and charm. They are all furnished and adorned state-of-the-art.
The dining room and the large kitchen form a large open-plan space of app. 40 Sq. Mt. (430 Sq. Ft.). It is wonderfully adorned, bright, airy, elegant, and its historical character blends with the elegant modern kitchen cabinets. Both the kitchen and the dining room have table and chairs, for meals or breakfast. The kitchen is remarkably equipped with cutlery / chinaware / glassware, and with all appliances: American coffee percolator, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, toaster, orange squeezer, fires, oven.
The property is equipped with all mod cons: air conditioning in all rooms, heating, internet Wi-Fi, washing machine, clothes dryer (in a dedicated washroom), complete kitchen equipment.

My husband, son and I had the pleasure of staying at The Turtle's Dream apartment for Spring Break. The booking experience was easy and extremely informative. Morris, the booking agent, went out of his way to orchestrate an early morning introduction to the apartment as well as a late night departure procedure. The apartment was spotless and quite spacious, with all the amenities we could ask for. The view onto the turtle fountain is priceless and we happily went to sleep each night to the faint sounds of water falling in the fountain. Location of the apartment is ideal for walking virtually anywhere you might wish to go in Rome, the adjacent ghetto is marvelous for breakfast treats and the terrace sports an amazing view of the rooftops of Rome. We truly felt that we were able to imagine what it would be like to live in this glorious city by the time we left. Highly recommended!
This property exceeded our expectations, and it is actually better than advertised: the layout, furniture, décor, equipment, palace, location, views are truly beautiful. We particularly appreciated some the spaciousness - not only of the surface but also of the high ceilings - the sober yet beautiful décor, quiet, the perfect location, the views of Rome, they all gave us a feeling of serenity. Rome's infinite charms can exhaust you, and the apartment was our beautiful shelter after an intense day of sightseeing. At night we would open the windows to hear the water gushing from the Turtle Fountain beneath, which was our wonderful Renaissance lullaby. We also appreciated the attentive service provided by Morris and by the landlord. In August, when everything slows down in Rome, we were taken care thoughtfully, and they provided us with a stroller same day we asked. We felt special guests in a very special home, and we will definitely be back.
The photographs and descriptions were well done, but the reality of the historical apartment far exceeded them: it is spectacular.
Morris (Mauro), our contact person, was the most accommodating, professional, friendly and knowledgeable person ever. He is very detail-oriented and that made the entire vacation a marvelous experience, from booking through (regretfully) leaving. His skills in these areas were exceeded by his historical knowledge, not only of the palace and environs, but of all aspects of Rome, which made re-exploring it for us more fruitful. The palace apartment was amazing and to be able to share it with so many centuries of owners was a treat. The apartment itself was stunning and ideally located as a base of exploring the neighborhoods and the city. It was a fabulous experience.
This could not have been a better, more wonderful experience. The apartment is simply spectacular. Rarely, if ever, do you find such spacious, well-appointed accommodations in Rome. A true gem! Our host, Morris (Mauro), could not have been kinder or more helpful. The neighborhood is the ideal place to stay in Rome. Having previously lived in Rome for 2 years, I can tell you with first-hand knowledge of the city that if you want the perfect Roman Holiday and to live La Dolce Vita (at least for a short time) this is the place you want to stay. Given how incredible it is, I'm surprised they don't charge more. It's really that good. Thank you again, Morris, for making us feel like such special guests.
Rome is my favorite city in the world, so I get there as frequently as I can. I've stayed in hotels and apartments over the years and I have greatly enjoyed almost all of them. However, for my most recent trip I really wanted to find a special place. I was asked to show my friend and his family around Rome for a few days so we needed to accommodate 7 people, comfortably. We also needed to be in a great location, able to walk everywhere in the city center but also to sit down and have a quiet espresso amongst the church bells and delicious smells of the morning and evening (the Rome I fell in love with).
When I initially found this apartment online I reached out to Roman Homes right away. I received a prompt response from Morris (Mauro). As you many know, renting an apartment in a foreign country can be confusing. 100% worth it, but it requires a bit more effort than booking a hotel...usually. This time, it was just as easy. Mauro was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was kind, fair and honest throughout the entire process. He may not support the same soccer team, but he is a stand-up gentleman and I will be bothering him for apartments until the day he retires.
When our group arrived at the apartment we were blown away. I know this because we each bumped into one another walking through the giant green door when we had all paused to look up and say "wow." I say this will all sincerity: this apartment was more than anything I could have desired. The location, the history, and the old world feel with the modern comforts I was looking for were all there. The bedrooms were large (3 of them overlooked the beautiful piazza and fountain), the bathrooms were large, the appliances were new and the entire apartment was spotless. There is a charming terrace attached to the upstairs bedroom, a family room to watch TV, and a large kitchen that overlooks the fountain below. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and smelled like my grandmother's kitchen (I had 2 of the best dishes I've ever had in Italy no more than 60 meters from the apartment) yet it was a VERY short walk to just about all of the major sites. In all, it was perfect. My friend and his parents visited other cities on their trip, but all they can talk about is Roma, Roma, Roma. This apartment allowed me to easily and comfortably show them the Rome I fell in love with so that they not only saw the 2,766 years of history, but they felt and tasted it as well.
We rented this apartment a few days before Christmas. It was truly an exciting and we had a wonderful time. Everything was as advertised, possibly better. It is elegant but charming, we felt snug at home. It has a perfect combination of classical and modern furniture / décor. The tiles are beautiful, the views great, the appliances and amenities generously provided by the owner. The assistants were very helpful and dedicated, they gave us plentiful tourist information, setting us on the right foot from day one. The palace has incredible character, the location is magic, and we really enjoyed it. All sights were close or within easy reach (we only took a cab for the Vatican, but it's not distant either), and we hanged out at the ghetto where you find most grocers, cafés, restaurants and interesting shops. We consider this the best place where we stayed during our European tour. We are hoping to return for our long planned family reunion.
This wonderful apartment is located in the very heart of old Rome, perfectly nestled between three of its most renowned locations: Campo de' Fiori, the Jewish Ghetto, and Piazza Navona. It is also at very short walking distance from the Pantheon and the Roman Forum.
These rightfully famous central districts have a very different character, like in a kaleidoscope: the area of Piazza Navona encircles the elegant square, endowed with three marvellous fountains and the Church of St. Agnes, and it is a favourite spot for the 'Dolce Vita' atmosphere. Its chic and cozy at the same time, and a meeting venue for artists. Campo de' Fiori is Rome's most vivacious area, and it changes aspect around the clock. In the morning you find the famous veg market and grocery shops, at night it has an irresistible bohemian flavour. The Jewish Ghetto is a world apart. There dwells the most ancient Jewish community of Europe, and where you find the only authentic Romans since more than 2000 years. It is fashinating, and all its shops, cafes, restaurants are characteristic for some reason. You also find the main Jewish Synagogue, Rome's Jewish Museum.
The Pantheon is the best preserved ancient Roman monument, it is like a time capsule. The Roman Forum needs no presentation, it is an open air museum.
The apartment takes the higher floor of the historical Costaguti palace, which faces the square with one of Rome's jewels: the world-acclaimed, wonderful Fontana delle Tartarughe, or Turtle Fountains (1581), attracting visitors from the world over - you will be able to see it from your windows at all times.
Nearby you also find all Rome's sights: churches, monuments, squares, fountains, places of interest, historical landmarks, stately palaces, parks, museums... and let's not forget the countless numberless restaurants, cafes, bars, shops of artisans, artists' clubs, cinemas, and theatres, suiting all tastes and wallets.
You will be able to reach easily all these sights on foot, and if you don't feel like walking, there is a taxi stand nearby. Public transport is also well organized, simple, and cost-effective.
You will also enjoy the neighborhood near the palace. You find many family-run grocery stores (each special in it own way), bakers, confectioneries ('pasticcerie'), an array of restaurants with a varied cuisine, art and book shops, craftsmen shops. People in the area are very friendly, and you will immediately feel part of the community.
To conclude, the apartment couldn't be more quintessential Roman.
|Province tourist tax
|Pet Fee
|Cleaning fee
VRBO's Standard rates apply for the low season, in highest season there might be minimal increases, please enquire.
The balance is paid kindly upon arrival at the apartment, by either Euro cash or credit card (the minimal processing fee is responsibility of guests). This is the only way to make you not pay the 22% VAT (value added tax), a sales tax, which otherwise we would have to add *on top* of the price if you were to pay through this site. Thank you.

The Queen of England doesn't grant knighthoods willy-nilly. Likewise, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences doesn't award Oscars to just any New Zealander claiming to be a director. It is incredible attention to detail that has been the secret of Sir Peter Jackson's movie success, most notably with the Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit trilogies. This is evident in the setting for Hobbiton, a rolling sheep farm near Matamata in the Waikato.
Some call it Middle Earth, others the Shire, but the official name is Hobbiton, home of the Hobbits and especially the two most famous , Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. Peter Jackson scoured many locations across New Zealand and finally settled on this sheep farm to create his idyllic setting for the Shire. Since filming finished, the set has become a popular tourist attraction for Lord of the Rings, and Hobbit fans.
Hobbiton is not the arduous journey in your car rental as the movie suggests. It's located 2 hours south of Auckland and only 45 minutes from Hamilton. You can book your tour at the thatched roof i-Site in Matamata, and catch a shuttle bus from there, or make your own way to the Shires Rest Cafe onsite at 501 Buckland Rd Hinuera, Matamata. You'll board a bus there for your tour.
Both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit begin in the picturesque location of the Shire, commencing with a beautiful, peaceful setting before the main characters embark on a treacherous journey. Once you arrive at this location in your car rental, you'll discover why Sir Peter Jackson chose this amazing landscape.
You'll be forgiven for not containing your excitement when arriving at the actual movie set where Sir Peter Jackson filmed these epic movies. It is kind of surreal to find yourself at the most famous address in the Shire, Bag End, residence of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. Both Bilbo and Frodo longed to return here when they were amidst the most dangerous part of their journey. You'll realise why when you see the view from Bag End down to the sprawling lake and Party Tree where Bilbo had his 111th Birthday Party. Knowledgeable tour guides are full of insider stories about the filming.
Continue along the pathways leading you past homes and doorways nestled in the rolling hills characteristic of the Shire. The tour ends at the picturesque Green Dragon Inn, with complimentary tea, coffee and ginger beer, with the chance to purchase cheese scones or muffins. Once you've been to Hobbiton, you will understand why Hobbits always return to the Shire at the end of every trilogy. It will be no surprise if you too want to return to Hobbiton in your car rental at the end of your New Zealand adventures.

And, the news of cloud outages and chatter about cloud security have many small businesses thinking twice about making the move to the cloud.

So how do you know if cloud is right for you? The following 6 tips will help small businesses ask the right questions before they lift off into the cloud: 1. Bigger Isn't Always Better: Research cloud service providers and you'll find many large companies staking their claim on an increasingly crowded cloud market.

Facebook is pitching Facebook Lite, a stripped-down version of the service that will load fast and offer basic network-building features found in its mobile version. The Lite service is primarily designed for people on slow connections but it will be used by others as well, especially for quick checkups that bypass the slower full site.
According to a TechCrunch report, Facebook Lite will load much faster than the full site while replicating features of the mobile site and native Facebook apps for the iPhone, Android, and other mobile platforms. For instance, you'll be able to add friends and respond to their requests, post photos, videos, and notes, comment and like your friend's items, check user profiles and their Walls, etc.
The Facebook Lite beta screenshot, credited to "twitgoo" and referenced in the TechCrunch story, reveals a one-column design that lists a real-time stream of your friends' activities, with three buttons at the top of the page providing options to write to someone's Wall or post photos and videos. You can also comment on individual items in a feed or check your own Wall, Info, Friends, and Photos&Videos.
Facebook apparently told TechCrunch that the Lite service is being designed for people with slow Internet connections, adding that the initial beta testing has taken place in India, with plans to expand it to Russia and China.
More at TechCrunch.
Christian's Opinion
I have no doubt in my mind that Facebook Lite won't necessarily strike a chord only with users doomed to slow dialup connections. I can easily see a portion of broadband-enabled Facebook users running the Lite service for quick checkups that don't require the full site. In addition, the Lite service will appeal to road warriors and mobile users who connect to the web via pricey cellular data, especially a portion of mobile users who have subscribed to capped data plans. In addition, Facebook Lite should appeal to users who find the full Facebook site too slow on sub-par netbooks, tablets, and similar under-specc'd devices.

Murad break down their products into colour coded and easy to understand categories, making it easy to shop and ensure you're getting the results you need. Unlike other brands who mostly categorise simply by age, Murad operate a problem-solution approach - you can shop by concerns including blemishes, loss of firmness, fine lines, redness, or simply opt for products that help you maintain the skin you have. As a true dermatologist brand that began with prescription formulas developed by Dr. Murad to help his patients resolve their unrelenting skin conditions, Murad products still feature clinical-strength ingredients blended into recipes that are so advanced that Murad has been awarded eighteen patents. It's like an appointment with a dermatologist without the expense. Can you see why I thought this brand was a bit scary?
If you're thinking that Murad formulas will be harsh, uncomfortable, full of scary skin peeling ingredients and leave you looking like a member of the 'Wives of Beverly Hills' club, you couldn't be more wrong. They're incredibly gentle, an absolute pleasure to use and leave skin feeling pretty amazing. I adore the Essential C-Toner (£25.00) which conditions your skin and restores balance with ingredients including orange and coneflower extract to gently hydrate. The blend of witch hazel and sodium PCA, a natural occurring skin moisturiser, also helps to tighten pores without drying skin; you simply spritz a small amount onto a cotton bud and wipe over your face morning and night.
The Age-Balancing Moisture moisturiser (£59.50) is great for every day use, while still being light enough to use under makeup. Resurrection plant proteins help to restore moisture and provide a barrier to keep skin hydrated and plump, while shea butter and natural fruit oils replenish dull, dry skin with long-lasting hydration. The formula also contains SPF30 to protect skin from sun damage, meaning it's the perfect daily moisturiser to ensure you keep your skin looking its best. You need such a small amount that I've barely touched the sides of this tube a couple months later.
In addition, the Rapid Collagen Infusion serum (£65.00) has been designed to help promote healthy collagen and hydration levels, immediately restoring a more youthful appearance and fresh complexion. The velvety serum uses micronised collagen amino acids to penetrate the skin for intense hydration and incredible plumping; perfect for mature skin in need of a lift, this anti-ageing product also improves volume and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Although I'm only 32, this definitely makes a little difference to my skin and ensures I can apply targeted skincare without worrying about it interfering with my makeup.
What's even better is that this spring Murad will offer customers a special edition of this hero product, in association with their first charity partner: The Prince's Trust. With every limited-edition Rapid Collagen Infusion sold, £10 will be donated to The Prince's Trust to help them continue their great work - great skin, plus simultaneously doing some good! If you're hitting a new phase in your life and are in need of a little expert helping hand, then Murad definitely offers products that are clinically proven to provide the results you need; their in-store advisors are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, while their facials offer a great intro into the brand and hands-on experience. It's not often that I backtrack on my perception of a brand, but in this case Murad have totally won me over... Expect lots more from this skincare genius on LBQ in the future.
Have you tried any Murad products before? Are you intrigued to find out more about this expert range?
Murad skincare is available to buy online, as well as in House of Fraser and other department stores nationwide. Prices start from around £20.00.

Sticky Fingaz f/ Raekwon The Chef
Twas the night before twistmas
And all through the house
[Sticky Fingaz]
We had guns and money around
Layin' on the couch
Was dressed in black to
Mmmmmm, c'mon
Everybody want me, I created thieves
[Sticky Fingaz]
Why I'm almost as important as the air you breathe
I been through hard times, when it wasn't enough for me
Stick wit me kid'll have you livin' in luxury
I'm the reason Mr. Simpson got off clean
I'm the reason niggas sellin' drugs to fiends
I'm the reason some parents gotta bury they kids
And I'm the reason why your cousin on the run from feds
I've been through customs, borders
I've been handled by authorities
Drove people crazy when they couldn't see more of me
I've been saved, I've been buried alive
Say my name enough and any nigga testify
All by myself, I created black on black crime
Who you think made that whole seller ass that time
I'm America's most, I'm tadded up with Ghost
Even my head got big, from neck to gross
I'm emotionless, yet I breathe jealousy and envy
People kill for me or die to defend me
But in the end am I really worth it son?
Rich people make me work for them
And poor people work for me
Who am I? Nigga I'm money
Who am I? Nigga I'm money
[Hook - Raekwon the Chef]
See the gun wound, went down for you
Who ran up in the house, du'
When niggas was ready to murder me
Caught one from he and for who
You stayed up in the crib, like a bitch
Lookin' ill, and it's lurkin' me (for who?)
I got stabbed for you
Yo, shot up the ass for you
Should stop blowin' the cabs for you (for who?)
Chill, some niggas called crabs for you
Holdin' them garbage bags for you
Ill, blowin them hags for you
[Sticky Fingaz]
I'm the route to evil, I don't grow on trees
I'm called by different names, chips, scrilla, cream
And I'm always green whether dirty or clean
I'm more powerful than God, amazingly
Gettin' ya hands on me is the American dream
Cause when you pray to God nigga, you pray for me
I'm an exchange hand to hand, with heavy weapontry
This one couple fucked on me, and slept on me
Up in the dice games niggas stepped on me
Bet on me, couldn't pay, bled on me
I come in all forms, coins, paper, plastic
I enslaved populations, and controled masses
You work for me nigga, I own you
Even credit, I owe you
All ya life you try and get me and it's hurtin' you
If you was smart, you'd make me work for you
[Hook - Raekwon the Chef]
[Sticky Fingaz]
If you had a million of me, what would you do with me yo?
Would you blow me in a month and have nothin' to show
Or would you invest in me and watch me grow
I've done seen things I wish I hadn't seen
Take me to the streets and flip me from, do' to sto' to do'
I came between loved ones and families
A nigga kill his own man to get his hands on me
Got secret ensciptions, examine me
Wanna find me, the bank machine is where I be
Why I'm more notorious than the B. I. G.
And showed 'em to a hundred grand, F. D. I. C.
I'm so money, who don't wanna be like me?

By Matt Smith, CNN
Slogging through sometimes waist-deep mud, rescuers returned to the "unreal" scene of a deadly Cascade Mountain landslide Thursday with the grim expectation that more bodies waited underneath them.
Later that day, medical examiners added one more death to the official toll, bringing it to 17.
Saturday's collapse dragged several homes downhill with it, scattering their contents among hundreds of acres of earth and smashed trees.
"Anything that anyone would have in a neighborhood is now strewn out here," said Steve Mason, a Snohomish County fire battalion chief. "… Some (houses) look like they've been put in a blender and dropped on the ground, so you have basically a big pile of debris."
The landslide near Oso, about 60 miles northeast of Seattle, has turned many lives upside down and cost far too many as well.
District Chief Travis Hots said that at least seven more bodiesthat have been found won't be added to the count until medical examiners can identify them.
"That number is going to likely change very, very much (Friday) morning," Hots said.
About 90 remained unaccounted for Thursday as rescuers dug into the ground with chainsaws, pumps and their hands in hopes of finding survivors — or least bringing solace to family members by finding remains. That figure was the same as it was on Wednesday, though it, too, could change.
"Sometimes it takes several hours to get somebody out of an area," Hots said. When a body is extracted, "You can almost hear a pin drop out there. You see seasoned veterans in this business, they start to tear up. Their eyes get glossy."
No survivors have been found for days, but this still isn't a recovery operation. Rescuers are using small excavators, shovels and their hands — not heavy machinery — in areas where a survivor could be.
"As far as I'm concerned, we're still in rescue mode," Hots said Thursday evening. "I haven't lost hope yet … That chance is very slim, but we haven't given up yet."
While some families cling to that hope, others — like Rae Smith, whose daughter Summer Raffo was driving through the area when the slide hit — are in mourning.
"My heart is broken. It's broken," Rae Smith said.
Pointing out homes on a map, volunteer rescuer Peter Selvig noted the seemingly random nature of the fatalities.
"This guy lived and his wife died … we were on the school board together for about 30 years," Selvig said.
More rain made the mud worse Thursday, slowing the search, rescuers reported.
Senior Airman Charlotte Gibson — part of an Air National Guard squadron assisting the search — said rescuers "fall in about waist-deep in some areas," knee-deep in others.
"Just walking through it, it's almost impossible," Gibson said.
And as bad as the conditions are, the scale of the devastation is worse. Master Sgt. Chris Martin told reporters, "I don't think anything could prepare you for what you see out there."
Workers worked Thursday to build an east-west emergency road to reconnect both sides of the landslide, along with pathways of plywood and logs to make it easier to get people and equipment into the search zone. Washington State Patrol spokesman Bob Calkins said those crews and those looking for victims had a productive day Thursday.
"The rescuers and the road-builders seem to be hitting their stride now," said Calkins. "We're several days into this, they are starting to get a rhythm."
That doesn't mean they're close to done, or that the job is easy. Mason noted that the mud also holds the remains of septic systems, requiring searchers to wash thoroughly at the end of their shifts. And the collapse cut off the Stillaguamish River, causing the water to back up into what's now a small lake, he said.
"You have homes on this side that are now islands," he said. On another side, "Cars are under water."
The area affected in the most recent calamity has been hit before, in 1951, 1967, 1988 and 2006. Daniel Miller, a geomorphologist who co-wrote a report in 1999 for the Army Corps of Engineers that looked at options to reduce sediments from area landslides, said that none of these events resulted in deaths, though at least the most recent one damaged houses.
This history, along with erosion from Stillaguamish River and worries about overlogging, prompted some mitigation and other efforts. A 2010 plan identified the area swept away as one of several "hot spots," John Pennington, Snohomish County's emergency management director, told reporters Wednesday.
The county had been saturated by "amazing" rains for weeks on end that made the ground even less stable, Pennington added. Then there was a small, recent earthquake that may or may not have shaken things up more.
But he said no one anticipated an event of the scale of what happened Saturday morning: "Sometimes, big events just happen." And he said residents knew the area was "landslide-prone" — an assertion one of them challenged.
"Nobody ever told us that there were geology reports," Robin Youngblood told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "… This is criminal, as far as I'm concerned."
Determining whether the human toll from this disaster could have been abated is a key question, but one best answered another day, Gov. Jay Inslee has said. For now, the focus is on the ground — and in the air — scouring through the rubble.
And once again, Mother Nature is making things complicated. While Snohomish County reported late Thursday afternoon that water levels on one side of the slide had fallen two feet — a "big help for rescuers," the county tweeted — there's the reality of yet more rain and all the perils and complications that brings.
The National Weather Service's forecast calls for more rain Friday and beyond; in fact, there's a chance if not an all but guarantee of showers for the next full week, at least.
For that reason, rescuers are keeping an eye on the weather even as they sift through silt, wood and rubble, according to Snohomish County Public Works Director Steve Thompson.
"Right now there's no risk of further slides, but we're watching the rain," Thompson said.
CNN's Greg Botelho, Gabe Ramirez and Ana Cabrera contributed to this report.

Rudbeckia missouriensis
Aster family (Asteraceae)
Description: This perennial wildflower forms a small clump of basal leaves about 6-12" across, later developing leafy flowering stalks about 2' tall. The blades of the basal leaves are 2-5" long and about 3/8" (9 mm.) across, tapering gradually into slender petioles about 1-3" long (3-8" total length). The blades of the alternate leaves are 2-4" long and about 3/8" (9 mm.) across; they are sessile or clasp the flowering stalks slightly. Both basal and alternate leaves are medium green and hairy on both their lower and upper sides; they are linear-oblong or linear-oblanceolate and usually smooth along their margins. Sometimes a few widely spaced and shallow teeth are visible along the leaf margins. The flowering stalks are light green or pale brownish green, terete, and unbranched; they are covered with abundant spreading hairs. Alternate leaves with ascending blades are restricted to the lower one-half of each stalk, while the upper half of the stalk is naked.
Each stalk terminates in a single flowerhead about 2–2½" across. Numerous disk florets are concentrated in the center of the flowerhead; they are dark brown or black. The ray florets are located along the margins of the flowerhead, forming 8-13 petal-like yellow rays. The disk florets are fertile, while the ray florets are sterile. The base of each flowerhead is defined by an overlapping series of floral bracts (phyllaries) that are green, hairy, and lanceolate-oblong in shape. The blooming period occurs from mid-summer to early fall and lasts 1-2 months. At maturity, the disk florets are replaced by oblongoid achenes about 2 mm. long. At its apex, each achene has a crown of tiny scales. The root system is fibrous. This wildflower reproduces by reseeding itself.
Cultivation: The preference is full sun, dry-mesic conditions, and a thin rocky soil that is calcareous (typically containing limestone or dolomite). Because this is one of the less aggressive coneflowers, taller and more aggressive plants should be kept away from it.
Range & Habitat: The native Missouri Coneflower has been found in only a few counties in southern Illinois (see Distribution Map); it is considered rare and state-listed as 'endangered.' This wildflower is found primarily in hilly areas of Arkansas and Missouri; in neighboring states, it is rare. Habitats consist of hill prairies, limestone and dolomite glades, and barren scrubby savannas in upland areas. This wildflower is found in high quality natural areas. While it is less popular than some other Rudbeckia spp. (Black-Eyed Coneflowers), it is also cultivated in gardens.
Faunal Associations: The nectar and pollen of the flowerheads attract a wide variety of insects, including long-tongued bees, short-tongued bees, wasps, flies, beetles, butterflies, and skippers. Two species of bee are specialist pollinators (oligoleges) of this and other Rudbeckia spp. (Black-Eyed Coneflowers): Andrena rudbeckiae and Heterosarus rudbeckiae. Miscellaneous insects feed on the foliage and other parts of these species: this includes the caterpillars of the butterflies Chlosyne nycteis (Silvery Checkerspot) and Chlosyne gorgone (Gorgone Checkerspot), the caterpillars of several moths, the leaf beetles Microrhopala excavata and Paria thoracica, and some aphids (see the Insect Table for a listing of these species).
Photographic Location: The wildflower garden of the webmaster in Urbana, Illinois.
Comments: This perennial coneflower looks like a Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) with skinny leaves (usually less than ½" across). It is one of the coneflowers with widely spreading rays that don't droop downward. Like some other species in this genus, the petaloid rays along the margins of the flowerheads appear to be solid yellow to the human eye, but to bees and other flower-visiting insects they appear to be bicolored instead. This is because the outer one-half of each ray reflects ultraviolet light, while the inner one-half doesn't. Unlike the human eye, the eyes of bees and many other insects can detect ultraviolet light. Therefore, the flowerheads are actually more showy than one would assume.

Halloween... a time to watch the same fucking handful of movies over and over. Rocky Horror Picture Show, Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas (which kind of works for two holidays, way to cash in Tim Burton), something from the Saw, Scream, Halloween, Friday the Thirteenth, or A Nightmare on Elm Street franchises, a bunch of weird Japanese horror movies about ghosts that have bizarre endings, I'm sure you can come up with more but it's all the same fucking shit year after year. Well, I've had enough. Here are five movies to watch this Halloween that probably wouldn't make your traditional list, but are horrific in their own ways (and as a bonus, they're all from different countries... have a cultured All Hallows' Eve this year!):
David Fincher has made three amazing films (Fight Club, Se7en, and The Game) and a bunch of other ones that arguably range from "meh" to "not too shabby." Not bad for a guy who used to make music videos for Madonna. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman attempt to hunt down a serial killer who is murdering his victims based on each of the seven deadly sins. Se7en is not really a horror film as much as it is a thriller, but it's a dark, moody thriller that just never lets up, and I know that sounds fucking cliched but it's true. From the unnerving opening credits to the grim ending, this is a movie that fucks you up so well the first time you watch it, you wish you could erase your memory just so you could let yourself experience it again.
(Canada, 1997)
A Canadian horror film with a cast of nobodies (the most famous person in the movie is an actress that was in a couple Kids in the Hall sketches). People talk about how great the first Saw movie was on a budget of a little over a million, Cube was made for $350k and blows it out of the fucking water. A psychological thriller about a group of people trapped in a gigantic cube made up of smaller cubes probably sounds really boring, but within about a minute when the Cube claims its first victim, you'll shut the fuck up about how boring you think it is. It's a great minimalist film that has some excellent gory moments (the effects are pretty solid for how much they spent on the movie) and manages to be a pretty fun mind-fuck overall. Oh, but ignore the prequel and the sequel. They sucked.
Battle Royale
(Japan, 2000)
Not a horror movie at all, despite the section some shitty HMVs put it in, but the premise would be pretty terrifying for most 13-14-year-olds: What would happen if your entire class was kidnapped, put on an island, and forced to kill each other for sport and because the government doesn't have a better solution for population control? Battle Royale only recently became available in North America, conveniently just before The Hunger Games hit theaters (the plots are similar, and the author of The Hunger Games franchise claims that they never heard of the novel or the film Battle Royale before writing it, but then Battle Royale is kind of a rip-off of Stephen King's early novels The Long Walk and The Running Man, and I'm sure someone would suggest those novels borrow elements from other works as well, so... what the fuck can you do). It's got everything you need this Halloween: violence, creepy Asian girls, a weird bad guy that's possibly a pedophile, and more violence. It's kids viciously murdering each other on an island! What more do you need to know!?
13 Tzameti
(France, 2005)
Normally when you think "French films" you think about a bag blowing in the wind for 45 minutes while a mime cries and it's in black and white. While definitely horrifying, thankfully that's not what 13 Tzameti is (although it IS in black and white). Absolutely NOT a horror movie in any way, but similar to Battle Royale in the sense that the situation is the terrifying part. A guy doing a construction job on a private house finds out about an envelope in his employer's home, said envelope including instructions that could net him a fortune. What follows is so fucking awesome that I don't even want to give any more away, although I'm sure someone will spoil it for you if you try to look any deeper into it, but the guy gets sucked into a world he wishes he hadn't. Doesn't ruin the whole movie or anything if you find out where the envelope takes him (it happens in about the first 30 minutes and the rest is him dealing with the situation), but if you can go in completely spoiler free, it makes it even cooler, so I'm not going to be the asshole to tell you. They did an American remake that's pretty close to the original (it was made by the same director), so if you absolutely must watch it in color and in English then the option exists, but don't be lame. Just watch the original.
I Saw the Devil
(South Korea, 2010)
Before Kim Ji-woon made his American directorial debut with The Last Stand (an unfortunate misuse of his talents), he directed this modern masterpiece. The premise seems pretty simple at first (a cop tracks down a serial killer after the killer makes it personal) but then we get an interesting twist: the cop relentlessly tracks, beats, tortures, and maims our villain only to keep releasing him so he can beat him some more (with unfortunate consequences for all involved). Never let it be said that Koreans don't know how to make revenge films (see also: Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, both of which could also have easily made this list). There's a gruesome scene involving an Achilles tendon and a sharp object that makes me cringe every time I even think about it, a darkly humorous moment with a screwdriver, and so much brutality throughout that I couldn't leave it off this list. Never mind the shitty "jumpy-loud-noise" scares of bullshit modern horror like The Conjuring or those Paranormal Activity movies, this is that creepy, uncomfortable and unsettling horror that stays with you some time after the movie is over.
So there you go, five different movies to watch beyond the usual crap we always end up watching at this time of year. The downside to all of these movies is that your girlfriend isn't going to cutely grip your arm and hide her face in your chest while you watch them and then fuck you when it's all over. They're just going to be pissed that you made them watch these with you. Of course, if they do want to fuck you after watching any one of these... they're a keeper. A weird, disturbed keeper. My kind of woman.

In 2010 there were another 19, because the year was now coded in to the design.
Collectors were confused, dealers were confused, and catalogue editors were confused. Stanley Gibbons catalogue editors managed to assign three different numbers to the same stamp in one year (Concise, Collect British Stamps, and new Concise). And they decided to keep things simple by listing the original stamps, and those with the 2010 code separately.
But when 2011 came, 'keeping things simple' meant having one set of numbers for the stamps with no year code, and another set for those with a year code, no matter what that year was. Which is fine if you want a simple list – but serious Machin collectors wanted every variant, and dealers needed a simple way to identify separately the stamps from each year. With no central plan from SG, many dealers devised their own – different – systems.
The Norvic system is unique in that, bar the unexpected, you can work out what the Norvic numbers will be for any new stamp that is issued in 2014 and beyond at least to 2019. Our Checklist has been prepared and refined with the help of collectors and other dealers. Now that we have agreement from Stanley Gibbons to cross-reference to their numbers, we can make the Norvic Checklist available to all dealers and collectors worldwide.
the 2018 edition of the Concise catalogue Stanley
Gibbons have renumbered many of the security stamps, and left gaps for
the future. The latest edition of our Checklist incorporated both
old and new numbers
The list is available to all Machin collectors free of charge - no catches. The Norvic numbers in the checklist are the ones we use in our webshop where you can buy many of the stamps. Note that some collectors (and dealers) record these stamps in greater detail than we do, for instance according to the size of the gap in the security slits, according to the shape of the perforation, or the direction of printing. Ours doesn't claim to be a complete list of Security Machins according to those criteria, but it does list all the basic stamps - and a few extras.
put your email address in the box - please check that you have
entered it correctly - and check the 'Yes' button - then click the
'Email me the checklist' button. But, if you aren't sure there are
samples from some of the pages below.

More details to follow after resolution. Please do not click 'Update now' as an issue unrelated to the new feature has surfaced. A change in format in some areas is causing login issues in the system. Fixing that now and the updates. Thank you for your patience I'll have this resolved immediately.
Best regards,
The issue that some might experience is that if you log out after updating the new batch of files (header/index/footer) is you might face an issue logging back in. This is due to a structural change in the way some files are referenced and some old ones no longer being used.
The other issue that surfaced was within the update system. The past few hours have been spent rewriting it. It's a critical update which basically requires the same procedure as if you were migrating away from 2.0.2 into 2.1. New installations as of now are not affected. The update system is in place.
If anyone should face any issues as described above, or issues in general, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will clear them up for you quickly. My apologies for the inconvenience, the update bug was discovered in the process of adding the new feature as luck would have it but it's a positive thing that it surfaced now rather than later.
Best regards,
I've got 9 updates. It's all clear on the updating now, yes?
Hmm when did you install Neos?
First wallet I installed was 2.0.1 then you helped me with 2.0.2 and 2.1 shortly after it came out.
I'm glad you posted here first. Whenever you're free, let me know I'll hop on and install 2.1 for you again and copy the wallet.
