Easy to understand | We make the exposure and coverage clear
Easy to use | Virtually seamless coverage within property program
Peace of Mind | Broad protection for the unexpected
Superior Service | Partnering with the Industry Leader
Broad Protection | Broad coverage for direct & indirect losses
The world has changed and so have the risks. Virtually all of today's business equipment contains sensitive and fragile components that are easily susceptible to damage. Even mechanical equipment is typically controlled by sophisticated electronic components.
The total cost of an equipment breakdown – the equipment, consequential damage, business interruption, and resulting lost income – can be overwhelming. It can amount to a few thousand dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
What would happen to your business if critical equipment were to break down? How long can your operations afford to be shut down? how would you recover from an equipment failure and at what cost? Unfortunately, a standard property insurance policy typically excludes important coverage hazards unique to this equipment.
With Equipment Breakdown coverage your policy pays for the covered loss that results when equipment is damaged by mechanical breakdown, power surges, electrical short circuits, overload, electrical arcing, motor burnout or centrifugal force – even if caused by operator error.
If your business has any of these exposures, your business needs Equipment Breakdown insurance:
Superior Service
Combining our resources with those of Hartford Steam Boiler – the nation's leading equipment breakdown insurer – we offer you unparalleled experience in engineering, claims and services.
Broad Protection
Equipment Breakdown coverage protects not only the equipment, machinery and systems that run your business, it also covers against a wide range of financial losses cause by equipment breakdown such as:
By understand the equipment you depend on, and what can go wrong, we can provide you with the market's broadest equipment breakdown protection.
Is Equipment Breakdown coverage really necessary? Well, can you afford a six-digit loss, or have your operation shut down while you work on the recovery process? Consider all the events that can cause a loss: a power surge, a blackout, a faulty connection, or human error. Think about what is at risk and how the cost of an equipment breakdown can quickly escalate. Electronic equipment is fragile and costly to replace; business income is more dependent on equipment; rush repairs and rental replacement equipment can be costly.
Peace of Mind
When you think about it, equipment breakdown protection makes perfect sense today. Filling the gaps in coverage could never be easier and it provides your client with broad protection matched with superior service.

Hello! I am new to this website, and I am so excited to be here. Anyways, I'm writing a book about 4 kids with the powers of the elements (fire, water, etc.) called Lost Magic. However, I'm having some trouble with a few of the details. In the first chapter, the 4 main characters are in a plane crash, and end up on an island. I want the characters to be alone on the plane (except for maybe one advisor), but I'm not really sure how I'd get them to be on a plane together, alone. Also, they can't have met already, because the 4 mains meeting for the first time is a big part of the story. So, do you guys have any ideas for what I could do?
Thanks, and have a great day!

Hi! I'm new as well to this website, but I'm looking forward to it! Anyways, I think that in order for your characters to meet, maybe let them be fleeing to the same place from a common villain? Or maybe the guardian may possibly already know of their powers and are taking them all to the same location, however under a different alias for each child?
I hope this helps you!

Find more Massei relatives and grow your tree by exploring billions of historical records. Taken every decade since 1790, the U.S. Federal Census can tell you a lot about your family. For example, from 1930 to 1940 there were 5 less people named Massei in the United States — and some of them are likely related to you.
What if you had a window into the history of your family? With historical records, you do. From home life to career, records help bring your relatives' experiences into focus. There were 68 people named Massei in the 1930 U.S. Census. In 1940, there were 7% less people named Massei in the United States. What was life like for them?
In 1940, 63 people named Massei were living in the United States. In a snapshot:
As Massei families continued to grow, they left more tracks on the map:

I am a seventh-generation Wisconsinite. Members of my family have known the governors of this state since its founding. Today, I wear a "Gaylord Nelson for Governor" badge that was given to me by Nelson when I was a kid. Nelson, as a US senator, was the father of the Earth Day movement. But before he became a senator, he was Wisconsin's governor. It was Nelson who, in 1959, began the implementation of the state's pioneering collective bargaining law for public employees.
Today, another governor, Scott Walker, will attempt to strip state, county and municipal employees of their collective bargaining rights. It is an assault not just on workers, but on a Wisconsin tradition of respecting unions in the state where the forerunner union of the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees was founded in 1932. AFSCME International President Gerald McEntee called Wisconsin "ground zero" for the fight to preserve the basic rights of public employees to organize—a fight that is already spreading to other states.
Yesterday, 30,000 teachers, state, county and municipal employees, small business owners, students and their allies rallied at noon outside the Capitol to chant: "Kill the Bill!" Last night, 20,000 teachers and their backers rallies and the filled the Capitol with shouts of "What's disgusting! Union busting!" Demonstrations and protests have spread across the state.
Today I'll provide updates from the Capitol and the streets.
20:00 CST: Ed Schultz Is On the Story
MSNBC's Ed Schultz, who has owned the Wisconsin story, will be broadcasting from Madison tonight. Check the show out at the MSNBC site.
Here's a piece on Ed's coverage of the story.
19:00 CST: Polls Finds Wisconsinites Think Walker Went Too Far
Building a Stronger Wisconsin, an independent advocacy group, commissioned poll that found Wisconsinites areoverwhelmingly opposed to Walker's proposal. Here's some of what the survey revealed:
Building a Stronger Wisconsin contracted with The Shop Consulting, Inc. to conduct a statewide poll regarding Governor Scott Walker's proposed cuts to public employee benefits and collective bargaining rights. The poll consisted of a 600 response survey and was conducted on the evening of Wednesday, February 16th.
By a 2 to 1 margin, voters across that state are either strongly opposed to Walker's proposal or think that it goes too far.

Tying decades together with my outfit has always been one of my favourite things to do. I love finding great pieces from history that break the modern mould. The following list explains my top five vintage accessories that will complement every outfit. Remember, just because it is newly made does not make it the best, so try these pieces for a little excitement in your wardrobe.
Sunglasses are more than just functional but they are great fashion accessories, too! A great pair of vintage accessories is something that any fashion star needs in their wardrobe. Try looking at a local vintage clothing store for a pair that is from a decade gone by but still are modern in their appeal. One of the best finds that you may come across is a great pair of vintage sunglasses. Usually moderately priced, these sunglasses are highly stylish and can bring history and modernity together in a wonderfully fashionable way.
A brooch or pin can be a beautiful accessory that brightens up any outfit. There are many vintage brooches out there that can really compliment your current style. Try finding a great pin from the twenty's that will bring that vintage flare to a modern piece. Do not be afraid to mix eras when applying your vintage pin. They can be a wonderful accessory on a modern paint or dress suit that will not only make you feel more stylish but may also be a conversation piece as well.
A scarf is another great vintage accessory for any wardrobe. Coming from all decades, these pieces have unique colours and patterns that are often unique to the decade in which they were created. Further, these pieces are extremely versatile. I love taking my vintage scarf and one day wearing it around my neck and another day around my waist. It gives flare to a neutral outfit and can really make you stand out among a sea of modern fashions.
I know that I have had those days when my hair just simply will not do what I want it to. It seems frizzy or not styled and I just do not have the time to fix it. For that reason, I run to my closet and grab one of my favourite hats to cover it up and spice up my wardrobe. Among my favourites in my collection are the vintage hats I have picked up in little shops in my neighbourhood. Among my collection are hats from the forties, fifties, and seventies. They are great and functional vintage accessories that really make my outfit pop, cover up my unruly hair, and give me a fun look.
It may seem unconventional, but some of my favourite vintage pieces from my collection are the accessories I carry rather than wear. Among these, I love my vintage handbags from designers that still remain popular today and the umbrella that I carry with a sixties flare. It gets me noticed and I have picked them up for less money than they can be purchased for now. Remember, accessories can be vintage and functional, too!
There are many locations where you can find the vintage accessories described above. Look at local vintage stores, of course, to find these unique finds but also try others. Ask older family members if they have pieces that they have kept in their closets over the years or try looking on the internet to find exactly what you are looking for. Remember, vintage accessories will be fun and fashionable but they do not have to be budget busting. Shop around and compare and see what you can find!
One of my favourite vintage designers at the moment is Johnny Loves Rosie. Take a look at their collection – you are sure to find some accessories that will complement your outfits completely.

Last week my students finished up their "Je vois" books for l'automne! I had read my teacher book to them many times over the 2 previous weeks, so they were familiar with the vocabulary. I also posted a video of me reading the book on my class website.
To complete their own version of the book, they traced the words and drew the picture to match. They practiced reading a few different times to partners as well. Then they read their books to me. I used the rubric in the file as a beginning reading mark as well.
The rubric is the same as the rubric from the "Mon ecole" book pack:

"80% of websites are in breach of the law. Is yours one of them?"
Accessibility Inspection
Don't get sued! In the UK alone, an estimated 80% of websites are in breach of the law. Most of these don't realise that legislation concerning accessibility has been in effect since 1999 - and that organisations like the Disability Rights Commission and The Royal National Institute of the Blind are already intimating that legal action is on the horizon.
Outside of the UK, a number of cases have already reached the courts. In Australia, the case of Maguire v The Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games found that the Committee had been in breach of the Australian Disability Discrimination Act 1992 by failing to provide a website that Mr Maguire could access. In the US, public debate about the "digital divide" has also been accompanied by litigation under the Americans with Disabilities Act 1990 (ADA).
Don't be the next casualty. Our expert accessibility inspection can identify accessibility issues in your existing online offering, and provide actionable recommendations that will help reach the required level of compliance.
What We Do
We'll work with you to understand business objectives, common user tasks, and technical constraints. This ensures that our recommendations can be implemented with minimum impact on your existing web infrastructure.
We'll audit your website against the Web Standards Commission's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These guidelines - part of the Web Accessibility Initiative - form the basis of all global legislation. We'll then audit against legislation specific to the countries you operate in. For example, The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 in the UK, or Section 508 in the US.
Finally, we'll test your website across all mainstream browsers and platforms: Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, AOL, Opera, Safari and Mozilla - on both Mac and PC. We also test with popular assistive technologies including text-only browsers like Lynx and screen-readers like JAWS and IBM Homepage Reader.
Reporting & Debriefing
Once we've gathered a detailed list of issues, we prioritise them and develop design recommendations for each. This tells you exactly what needs to be done to achieve basic, intermediate and advanced levels of accessibility. These recommendations are divided into quick wins and long-term fixes in our final report. We'll also present our findings and solutions to your design team in person.
Implementation (Optional)
We'll help you to implement the short-term fixes we recommend. Plus we'll develop a proposal for future redesign to address the deeper accessibility issues. See our Web Standards Design section for more information.
How Long it Takes
Most full-scale inspections take about 2 weeks, depending upon the size and complexity of your design. But if you're pushed for time, we can turn things around faster by adjusting scope to fit your time constraints. For example, we can review a single page in a day, if that's all you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I do it?
Now. Don't risk being sued. We can help you get accessible quickly and easily.
We have our own HTML developers, why waste time on an inspection?
Unless your developers are dedicated accessibility specialists it would be unwise. In our experience such resources are few and far between. Don't risk legal action. Let us produce a detailed roadmap that tells your team exactly what needs to be done to reach the required level of compliance. Let them concentrate on developing, not poring over the details of particular legislation.
Why bother? Why don't you just re-architect our site?
We'd be happy too. However, we'll still complete an Accessibility Inspection anyway. Why not make the call on whether you need to hire us once you've seen the scope of the changes you'll need to make.
Why bother? We'll need a complete overhaul to make our site accessible anyway
Achieving a basic level of accessibility often requires simple, inexpensive tweaks. Don't waste money on a full scale overhaul of your site. Get our report first.
What are the tell-tale signs that my site is inaccessible?
Try our free Online Accessibility Check now. While passing our checks won't guarantee accessibility (see below), it's a good benchmark. If you fail, give us a call to find out how we can help. Is your content available in Flash, PDF or Word format only? Let us make it accessible.
I've checked my site with BOBBY and it says I'm accessible.
Read the small print. Tools like BOBBY are extremely helpful, but passing their checks doesn't guarantee accessibility. Many accessiblilty guidelines require manual inspection in order to verify compliance.

Silverlight TV 54: New Silverlight Training Series
Thanks for the series, had been waiting for something like this for a while.
One thing I would love to see in trainings like this is an offline version with the videos in it. I downloaded the offline version and was dissapointed to have to watch the videos online.
Sometimes it's just easier to download a big file and then be able to watch the videos while away from an internet connection.

PadWorx Digital Media, Inc., an independent developer of a new category of interactive eBooks for tablet PCs, has announced its interactive eBook Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition will contain hidden 'easter eggs' that will give readers the chance to experience the text of Bram Stoker's classic novel in a stunning, immersive way. Besides the carefully abridged text of the original 1897 novel, Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition will also include several rare historical images as well as audio and film from the earliest days of the Dracula legacy. Some of the images, including Mr. Stoker's signature on a ledger from 1888, have never been seen by the public and have been provided to PadWorx by the Stoker family estate.
"PadWorx's interactive version of Dracula brings Bram Stoker's classic story to life in a new and thrilling way," said Dacre Stoker, great grand-nephew, author, and spokesperson for the Stoker family. "Bram was progressive for his time. When he wrote Dracula he included references to a camera, phonograph, and typewriter – cutting edge technologies for his day. We think Bram would be delighted to see his famous work offered to twenty-first century audiences via the iPad. PadWorx is one of our most innovative licensees and we were pleased to share some rare, never-before-seen imagery as part of this incredible interactive reading experience."
Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition is the first in a series of new interactive eBooks created for Apple iPad by PadWorx Digital Media Inc. Built from the ground up on PadWorx's proprietary game engine, this revolutionary vision of what an eBook should be puts a new twist on the classic novel written by Bram Stoker in 1897 and features almost 300 pages of text, animation, gameplay-like elements, and touch screen technology that creates the definitive interactive, user-driven experience. From lighting up the words of the page with a lantern, unsealing the mysteries of letters and journal entries, blowing the leaves off of tombstones to reveal the writing beneath, and even using their own "blood" to reveal hidden text on a page, readers will bring the book to life page after enthralling page.
Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition will also feature an original soundtrack as well as 21 songs from indie rock performers Adaline, Eve and the Ocean, Emily Spiller, Phoebe Sharp, and Christa Couture. Each song will set the tone for a different chapter from the book, creating a whole new way of experiencing this classic story.
Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition will be available on the App Store® the week of October 18, 2010. Pricing details will be released at a later date.

#TransferNews: CAPS Utd – Stephen Sibanda Deal Take New Twist
With only less than 12 hours before the transfer window curtain comes down, things have taken a new twist on a deal involving CAPS United and Stephen Sibanda, a striker from Mutare City Rovers.
In a bid to bolster their squad and assemble a competitive side that can challenge for honours in this year's championship campaign, Makepekepe invited Stephen Sibanda for a week long trial stint in Harare two weeks ago with the hope of putting pen to paper the services of the later.
With the deal looking greener, it has however turned out that despite the striker impressing the CAPS United technical team, he will not be donning the famous green and white jersey any time soon.
According to Mr Kanyemba, the Mutare City team manager, Stephen is currently in Mutare and is not joining Makepekepe.
"Stephen is here (Mutare) with us and is not going anywhere. He is our player, and is still contracted to us," said Kanyemba in a telephone interview with this publication.
No official comment could be obtained from the Makepekepe office as repeated efforts proved futile, with the official numbers going unanswered.
Makepekepe will on Sunday host Bulawayo giants, Highlanders, in a reverse fixture of the Battle of Cities, with United having lost the first leg by a goal to nil, courtesy of a 75th minute strike by Bruce Kangwa.
Meanwhile, log leaders FC Platinum have swooped on Tsholotsho captain William Stima as they beef up their team as the league marathon enters the second round.
The deal was sealed in Zvishavane on Thursday night.
The signing of Sitima by FC Platinum represents a huge step in their bid to win the championship they narrowly lost to Chicken Inn after coming third with Dynamos on second place in a very close contest last term.
Tsholotsho was represented by the player's advisor George Deda who has been the busiest manager during this transfer window trying to secure fantastic deals for his clients.
"I can confirm that FC Platinum have signed William Sitima on a three year deal. The deal was sealed in Zvishavane last night," said Deda.
Sitima is an industrious player who is comfortable playing on any position on the pitch including as a striker.
FC Platinum lead the table with 33 points two ahead of second placed Highlanders with Harare giants Caps United in third place with 29 points and Dynamos in fourth place with 25 points as the league marathon enters the second round this weekend.
Deda has been influential in bringing SimbarasheGorogojo and Jacob Muzokomba to Dynamos.
He also played a key role in taking Highlanders versatile player Bruce Kangwa to Tanzania and Caps United's Brian Abbas Amidu.
Deda's other client Caps United vice captain Stephen Makatuka is also being persued by South African National First Division side AmaZulu who are now under the guidance of former Chicken Inn coach Joey Antipas.
Although negotiations between the two parties had initially broken down Deda said talks are resuming next week to try and get the deal over the line.

(Reuters) - More than 9.2 million consumers signed up for health insurance using the Healthcare.gov website during the open enrollment period between November and Jan. 31, the U.S. government said on Friday.
That represented a decrease from 9.7 million during the same period a year ago.
President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have pledged to overturn former President Barack Obama's signature healthcare reform under which the plans are sold.HealthCare.gov sells health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act, the healthcare reform law known as Obamacare, for 39 states. The remaining states run their own exchanges. The total number of plan selections across all states for the entire open enrollment period will be released in March.
Average premiums for the second-lowest cost silver plan rose 25 percent compared with the previous year. At the same time the number of insurance providers choosing to participate in the exchanges fell by 28 percent.
Of the 9.2 million, about 3 million were new consumers while 6.2 million were returning consumers. The figures include any cancellations that occurred during the period.

Long Weekend
I had a nice long weekend. It was great being off on Monday. I proved to be the laziest person in the universe this weekend. I didn't do anything Friday or Saturday. Sunday, I took the Christmas tree down and Monday, I scrapped all day and I think I might have vacuumed the family room. Kinda sad, huh? I didn't leave my house all weekend - I was inside my house from 4:00 Friday evening until 5:45 a.m. this morning.
I'm pissed at Jason, he didn't come home until I was in the shower this morning! He's so inconsiderate. He knows how much it bothers me when he doesn't come home, but apparently he doesn't care about what I think. I hope he likes it, because I am bound and determined to do it to him one night and see how he likes it. The only problem is...my friends are all responsible, so they won't stay out until all hours of the night and morning! Ugh!
I suppose I'll go home and scrap some more tonight. I'm working on our Hawaii album and I need to get it done! I have so many album ideas, but I can't get them all accomplished!
American Idol starts tonight, so I hear. I just like watching the first couple shows because they show you all the people that suck! I love it!! I mean, what is wrong with people? Anyway...
Okay, later.

The innovative new Technical School in Broadstairs received a 'Good' grading following its recent inspection by Government education watchdog Ofsted.
Both students and parents are eager to share their experiences of the Technical School at East Kent College. Here are just a few examples of what they have to say.
Deborah Stringer:
I decided to send my child to The Technical School as he wasn't motivated at his last school. The Technical School is different because it pushes students to the best of their ability and brings out the best in them. The facilities are fantastic and the tutors are encouraging and positive, which has increased my son's self-confidence. I would recommend it to other parents as it's everything you want for your child in the most important years of their education.
Stacey Sage:
Without doubt it was the right decision to send my daughter to The Technical School. She loves it there and the tutors are excellent. They are very approachable and have a closer relationship with the students. It's a small school, which makes it feel like a community and it's very friendly. I would highly recommend The Technical School to other parents as my daughter is really doing well.
Caroline Neaves
To any parents considering the School, I would say give it a try – it's a nice environment and I especially liked the idea of a smaller school setting. The tutors know my daughter very well due to the small class sizes, and the Head Teacher is easy to speak to without an appointment. My daughter really likes coming here.
Eleanor Jennings
I chose to send my child to The Technical School because I liked the idea of pathways leading to vocational courses. It's a nice, modern, clean school and I have been hugely impressed with the staff at the School – the tutors are very accessible and helpful. I definitely made the right decision sending my child to The Technical School; my son is blossoming and comes home happy every day.
I chose The Technical School because it offered a pathway in a career I want to do. I want to be a games developer, and within the Creative Digital Media Production course we get to learn about gaming, which involves understanding how to analyse games and develop our own ones. The course has also opened up other areas of interest such as photography, which I am enjoying.
The groups are smaller, which I like, as the tutors can focus on everyone more and everyone has their voice heard. I have also made new friends since starting here. Our year is quite a close group and we all stick together.
I decided to come to The Technical School because there are smaller class sizes, which means you get more attention. I have autism, which can make it more difficult for me to concentrate and the tutors here have really helped me and given me lots of their time and one-to-one support.
My pathway is Construction and it's a more practical environment to any classroom. This term we will be studying carpentry but I am mostly looking forward to bricklaying.
I was home-schooled previously but my parents felt that going back to school would be a good idea for me to socialise with students my own age. I chose The Technical School because it's small – you know everyone here and everyone is friendly.
I chose Engineering as my Pathway because my dad is an engineer. I watched him build our own house and this made me really interested in engineering. I don't mind being the only girl in a group of boys; they are all quite straightforward and they include me – I am friends with a lot of them.
I was home-schooled for two years but my social skills were decreasing a lot, and I knew I would get a better education where there were better facilities. I have made a lot of new friends here, so it's been good.
I chose the Catering pathway and I like the atmosphere and the facilities. I had never cooked before I came to The Technical School, but now I want to be a chef. The Technical School has given me an opportunity that I wouldn't have had at any other school.

Wright State Up-Ends Top-Ranked Georgia, 8-5
March 24, 2009
ATHENS-----Wright State scored six unearned runs in the fourth inning and went on to defeat No. 1 Georgia, 8-5, Tuesday at Foley Field.
Georgia (19-3) had its five-game winning streak snapped and lost for the first time in 15 home games this season.
"We were flat tonight," said head coach David Perno. "We slept walked for five innings and then tried to come back with more intensity. There are no excuses but we have to look ahead at Georgia Tech now. We're still in it, and these guys have to grow up. Unfortunately we have to learn the lesson the hard way. We'll bounce back."
Rich Poythress hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the first and Georgia maintained a 2-0 lead until the fourth when Wright State (10-12) took advantage of an error, a balk and two walks, and scored seven times to take a five-run lead.
Bryce Massanari homered for the second straight game to cut the lead to 7-4 in the sixth, and another home run by Adam Fuller made it 7-5. The Raiders answered with a run in the seventh, and Georgia had runners on second and third in the bottom of the inning, but the Wright State got out of the jam with a fielder's choice and a double play.
Poythress, Massanari and Fuller had two hits apiece to lead Georgia. Poythress also walked and scored twice.
Chase Hawkins (2-1) allowed four runs, only one earned, on four hits in 3.1 innings to take the loss.
Tyler Newhart (1-0) worked 5.2 innings and gave up five runs on five hits to earn the win for Wright State. Michael Schum tossed the final 2.2 innings to pick up his third save.
The Bulldogs travel to Atlanta to face third-ranked Georgia Tech Wednesday at 7 p.m. on CSS. Jason Leaver (2-0, 5.93) will get the start for Georgia.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) needs to clean up its security act, according to the investigative arm of Congress.
In a report released this week, the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the department charged with protecting human health and the environment is falling short at protecting its systems from unauthorized access.
In particular, the EPA is failing to always ensure that users employ strong passwords, that users are limited in the systems they can access, that critical data is encrypted, that logs are maintained to track suspicious activity and that physical access to sensitive systems is controlled.
Additionally, the agency has weaknesses in its update process, often missing patches for vulnerable database software and operating systems, and configuration tweaks for network devices, the GAO said. And the EPA is not adequately ensuring all of its media devices are properly wiped of sensitive data.
The GAO report also concluded that while the EPA has introduced a security awareness training program -- requiring that workers pass a web-based course -- it lacks a mechanism to certify that all employees have completed the work.
Earlier this month, the EPA disclosed that hackers breached a server storing data related to its Superfund program. They obtained access by tricking an employee to click on an email that contained a malicious attachment. The personal information of 7,800 people, including Social Security and bank routing numbers, may have been exposed to the intruders.
Greg Wilshusen, GAO's head of information security issues, told SCMagazine.com that the timing of the audit was coincidental with the breach
"We received the request to examine EPA's information security program from the House Committee on Energy and Commerce in March 2011," he said in an email.

As I'm kinda on a roll here with the rose thing, I thought I'd include one of my very own cocktails; a rose martini. It has a little hazelnut kick that rounds out the floral notes and provides warmth. I also like to use bourbon vanilla extract which gives it a nice earthy note - perfect with rose. Ndali from Waitrose is the best extract I've found, as it has a great balance of sweet vanilla seed with earthy pod flavour.
Naomi's Rose Martini
Makes Two Martinis
3 shots of gin (Hendricks is my favourite)
1 shot of rosewater
1 shot of hazelnut liqueur (Frangelico usually)
2 drops of vanilla extract (Bourbon is the earthiest)
1/2 tsp caster or icing sugar
sprinkle of fresh or dried rose petals (optional)
Place two martini glasses carefully in the freezer to chill.
Put rose water, vanilla and sugar into a tall glass (half pint or larger) leave for a few minutes for the sugar to dissolve and then add the gin and hazelnut liqueur.
Get the glasses out of the freezer. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour the contents of the glass over it. Do not shake! Swill the alcohol around the cocktail shaker for about 30 seconds until the shaker gets frosty and strain into the waiting glasses. Go as camp as you like with the garnish - rose petals, umbrellas or a few blueberries on a cocktail stick suspended in the glass.

Fun Printing Shirts
I've been experimenting with painting different fabrics lately. Later this week I'm hoping to get some silk painting supplies to play with which I am super excited about. My two favorite things in the world: painting and silk scarves!
Back on topic, my first attempt with printing was for BraveBirdFly's birthday last year. I made her a kitty shirt!
This isn't going to be a real tutorial, more of just a rough guide to what I did on my first few tries.
I made a basic shirt out of some nice drapey fabric.
I made a stamp by cutting out a piece of cardboard in the shape I wanted and sticking it to another piece of cardboard.
I tried a few of the inks I had to find the one with the most staying power after washing.
The process was really simple: paint ink on… then stamp!
Because the cardboard absorbs some of the ink each print is a little different and it looks really vintage-y.
After a few test runs I decided on a pattern and stamped away!
Once it was done I ironed it to seal the ink and then washed it to get rid of any ink which didn't take. Make sure you put it in a load by it's self so it doesn't transfer to any other clothes!
Yay kitties!
I enjoyed this so much that I decided to do something similar for myself. I used an old shirt James didn't want/would notice was missing.
After cutting the seams off it to make it more feminine, I made my stamp. This time I printed hearts.
Lottie found watching me work very tiring apparently.
I snipped at the neckline and wove them together to make it a bit cuter.
I loved making my own fabric, I want to try doing some more using different colours and techniques. I can't wait to get my hands on some silk!

New tuner "Havana" is mapping out a plan for Broadway, with producers announcing they aim to get the show to Gotham during the 2010-11 season.
With music by Frank Wildhorn ("Jekyll & Hyde," "The Civil War"), lyrics by frequent Wildhorn collaborator Jack Murphy and book by Nilo Cruz (2003 Pulitzer winner for "Anna in the Tropics"), "Havana" will have its recently confirmed world preem at the Pasadena Playhouse in June 2010.
Choreographer Sergio Trujillo ("Jersey Boys," upcoming tuners "The Addams Family" and "Memphis") will make his helming debut with "Havana," which he also will choreograph.
Set in 1958 Cuba — just before Fidel Castro rose to power — "Havana" centers on a writer tempted by the titular city when she travels there to sell off the nightclub and home she has inherited from an aunt. (Story is not based on the 1990 Universal pic also called "Havana.")
Musical is the second from Wildhorn to preem out-of-town in the coming months, with "Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure" (with book and lyrics by Murphy) bowing in Tampa in December and then playing a stint in Houston in January.
Cruz recently showcased developing play "The Color of Desire" in a workshop at the summer playwrights conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center.
Design team for "Havana" will likely include Scott Pask (sets), Natasha Katz (lights) and Lizzy Gardiner (costumes), all in discussions to join the project.
Show is produced by Kathleen Raitt, Willian Franzblau/Jay Harris, Ben Sprecher/Louise Forlenza and Steven E. Leber/Jordan Leber. Tuner will have an industry reading in Gotham this week.

In Stage 4 COPD -- defined as having forced expiratory volume of below 30 percent of normal, as measured by lung function testing or experiencing chronic respiratory failure -- patients typically are having at least occasional severe breathing problems, requiring a comprehensive program of medications and oxygen to manage the disease.
At this advanced stage of COPD, your loved one likely has trouble maintaining a healthy weight as his or her chest muscles work harder to breathe, or he or she is overweight because of restricted physical activity. You may also be seeing heart problems caused by reduced oxygen in the blood and buildup of CO2. Symptoms can include edema due to a less efficient circulatory system or swelling in the ankles and feet from reduced circulation.
How to help the person in your care
1. Medication management becomes a challenge.
As breathing becomes more restricted, your loved one will need more medications to open his or her airways. Most COPD patients are on a number of different medications, both short-acting and long-acting. Keeping all the medications straight, understanding how they're used, and being aware of side effects is a big job.
Action steps
Develop a relationship with someone on the medical staff, usually a nurse, who can help set up a medication schedule and answer medication-related questions.
Ask about inhaler-enhancing devices. As your loved one's COPD becomes more severe, using standard inhalers becomes more challenging, since it's harder to time inhalations effectively. If using a metered-dose inhaler is becoming challenging, it can help to add a delivery device called a spacer.
For inhaled bronchodilators, ask the doctor about using a nebulizer, which is a device that creates a mist of the drug in the air. Nebulizers are now available as portable devices, including some that can be plugged into a car's cigarette lighter.
If the person you're caring for isn't using corticosteroids, ask the doctor to consider prescribing them to relieve breathing and prevent flare-ups. Doctors prefer inhaled corticosteroids because they have fewer side effects, but there are corticosteroids in pill form that you can ask for if your COPD patient is having severe flare-ups or continues to have obstructed airflow when attempting to use inhaled corticosteroids.
2. Be smart about supplemental oxygen therapy.
With advanced COPD, many patients need supplemental oxygen to keep their bodies functioning properly. The person you're caring for may resist starting oxygen therapy, but once he or she starts you'll both find that it improves quality of life considerably and makes it possible for your loved one to be more active and involved in everyday activities.
Action steps
Learn the pros and cons of oxygen delivery systems. Ask your doctor to refer you to a social worker or pulmonary rehab nurse who can explain the ins and outs of all types of oxygen systems and help you choose what's going to work best for your loved one -- and you.
Be a strong advocate in getting the best oxygen equipment covered by your insurance. Many COPD patients say their doctors and insurance companies didn't take enough time explaining all the choices available to them depending on their plan. Ask for a nurse or social worker to walk you carefully through the options and any steps needed to obtain coverage.
Get thorough training. In most cases, the oxygen supplier does the training, and it can be insufficient. Don't let your trainer leave until you and your loved one understand how the equipment works, its maintenance requirements, and who to call if you have questions.
Make sure you have replacement tubing, batteries, and all the attachments needed for portable systems.
Make sure you have a backup system, in case the primary system fails, and that you and your loved one know how to use it.
Ask about "water traps" that prevent condensation inside the hose. Companies often don't offer them unless you ask.
If your loved one hasn't quit smoking, now's the time to talk about it. In addition to all the other reasons to quit, smoking around oxygen equipment can be dangerous. Suggest a quit-smoking class or support group and work with his or her doctor to obtain the full range of nicotine substitution products.
If the oxygen equipment is electrically powered, save money by contacting your power company to see if they offer discounts to those on life-saving equipment. Some do -- and even if they don't, it's important to let them know to prioritize your household in the event of a power shutoff.
Tip: When you first open new plastic cannulas, they may have a chemical smell. Air them out for a few days before first use.
3. Mobility and physical activity are harder, but even more important now.
At this stage, many COPD sufferers begin to avoid physical activity because it triggers shortness of breath and fatigue, which can feel uncomfortable and scary. But continuing to stay active and to exercise are among the only things your loved one can do to help his or her lungs get stronger. Helping your loved one find ways to stay active with minimal discomfort is one of your most important jobs as a COPD caregiver.
Action steps
Help the person you're caring for experiment with mobility devices such as walkers and rollators (a fold-up walker on wheels, usually with a basket). Many people with advanced COPD find it easier to get around if they can lean on something. In addition, many walkers and rollators have a built-in seat that can be handy for stopping and resting, and COPD sufferers put their portable oxygen containers in the basket.
Help the person you're caring for overcome any embarrassment about using oxygen in public. Your loved one may worry about being stared at, but with time and experimentation, he or she will realize few people care and that physical activity is much more comfortable when using portable oxygen.
Find settings where walking is comfortable; many COPD sufferers like malls because they're air-conditioned and flat, with lots of places to sit and rest.
Buy resistance bands, free weights, and other home exercise equipment, so both of you can do simple exercises while watching TV or listening to music. If your loved one is on oxygen therapy, exercising at home can be more convenient.
If mobility is severely limited, talk to the doctor about wheelchairs and electric scooters. There are many more options available than there used to be, and you'll want to be well educated about what's available and what's covered by your insurance.
Don't give up on sex. If your loved one is a spouse or partner, it's important to work together to maintain an active sex life. Encourage him or her to take more passive positions if needed, or to use oxygen during sex; you may need to offer some reassurance that this is fine with you!
4. Prepare in advance for flare-ups.
Flare-ups can come on suddenly, and they need to be treated as quickly as possible to prevent them from worsening and causing a chain reaction of long-term problems. Talk to your loved one's doctor about what supplies you should keep on hand and what steps you should take to act quickly to obtain treatment for your family member when necessary.
Action steps
Ask the doctor which medications you should have on hand in case of an exacerbation. Some types of inhalers are best for short-term treatment when COPD symptoms worsen.
Be prepared for sudden trips to the hospital. Prepare a simple document that lists all your loved one's pertinent medical information, including a list of medications, that he can take with him if he has to go to the emergency room or call an ambulance.
Keep a hospital bag packed and ready so your loved one has what's needed should a trip to the hospital be necessary.
Stockpile antibiotics. Many flare-ups are caused by bacterial infections. Sometimes doctors will allow you to fill an antibiotic prescription ahead of time and keep the medication on hand so your loved one can take it right away in case of a flare-up.
Be on the alert for antibiotic resistance. Sometimes the first antibiotic prescribed doesn't work. There are many antibiotics available and doctors usually reserve the newer, stronger -- and more expensive -- antibiotics for more severe infections, or in cases where older, less expensive antibiotics haven't worked. If your loved one isn't getting better after 24 hours on an antibiotic, call the doctor and ask how long you should wait before trying a different one.
Consider a medical alert system so the person you're caring for can let someone know if he or she needs help.
5. Fatigue increases, and sleep is compromised.
When breathing is at less than 30 percent capacity, as it is with Stage 4 COPD, every activity can be exhausting. Your loved one may experience fatigue with even simple everyday activities. Meanwhile, breathing problems interfere with sleep quality, preventing restorative rest.
Action steps
Encourage your loved one to rest when he or she needs to or to use physical support when walking. Some COPD patients purchase a folding grocery cart and lean on it while they walk if they're not yet ready for a walker or rolling walker.
Set up the bathtub with a shower chair and a handheld shower head so your loved one can sit down if needed. Also install hand bars for safety and make sure there's a nonslip mat or surface.
Make good sleep a priority. If sleep is a problem, discuss the issue with his or her doctor. There are techniques that work to help COPD patients sleep better with fewer interruptions.
Switch to an adjustable bed, which may be covered by Medicare. Raising the head of the bed makes it much easier for someone with COPD to breathe.
Talk to the doctor about sleep apnea. Many people with COPD also suffer from sleep apnea, a type of sleep-disordered breathing in which they briefly stop breathing, disrupting deep sleep. A type of sleep mask called a CPAP device helps ease breathing.
Review medication side effects. Some inhalers, such as those containing albuterol, can cause jitteriness, anxiety, and sleeplessness.
Notice heartburn and other symptoms of GERD. Studies show that more than half of patients with advanced COPD also have gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. If GERD is a concern, talk to the doctor and ask for a referral to a gastroenterologist.
6. Coughing fits become more frequent and severe.
As COPD advances, it becomes harder to cough up mucus because the lungs aren't as strong, and the phlegm thickens. The result: The lungs are no longer as efficient at clearing themselves.
Action steps
Watch out for steam in the shower, which can make breathing difficult; open a window while your loved one showers, leave the door open, or install an exhaust fan.
Pay attention to air quality. Many COPD sufferers find that car exhaust, air pollution, smoke, and pollen irritate their lungs and bring on coughing fits. As a caregiver, aim to notice whether it's smoggy outside and check for "spare the air" alerts and avoid situations likely to bring on coughing fits or flare-ups. You might not want the person you're caring for to get out of the car at a gas station, for example, if other cars are running their engines.
Ask others to respect the COPD patient's need to avoid irritants. Some people with COPD find that perfumes or air fresheners irritate their lungs and cause breathing problems, and nearly all COPD sufferers will react to secondhand cigarette smoke in an enclosed space. Ask friends and family members to refrain from wearing perfumes and smoking around the person you're caring for, and to unplug air freshener devices while you're visiting. You may even need to switch to natural cleaning products. COPD patients vary in terms of what they react to.
Help the person you're caring for explore the use of controlled coughing. This technique, which a doctor can teach, is one of the best strategies for coping with the buildup of mucus in the airways.
Support him or her in learning airway clearance techniques. These techniques, which can help to expel excess phlegm, are taught as part of pulmonary rehabilitation or as part of a program of COPD breathing exercises, also called breathing retraining.
7. Be on the alert for depression.
Because COPD is progressive and feels like a limitation on daily activities, many people experience sadness, frustration, and depression as they cope with COPD. For some, depression can manifest as grumpiness, anger, and even rage. When you're caring for someone with COPD, you may find yourself a constant target of irritability, fault-finding, and anger.
Action steps
As COPD sufferers face more restrictions on what they can do, frustration, isolation, and sadness can lead to depression. Talking about fears and frustrations can help, but don't try to be a therapist. If you sense the person you're caring for could benefit from therapy or medication for depression, encourage him or her to seek professional help.
Try not to dwell on the negative. Make concrete suggestions for ways to cope with COPD so that it's possible to continue meaningful activities. Go over each limitation and work to find a solution.
Don't let fear become one of those limitations. Some people with COPD overly limit themselves out of fear of triggering an exacerbation. But it's important for COPD patients to stay active and to continue to push their limits, because this is the best way to stay healthy. Turn the conversation in a positive direction whenever possible.
It can be difficult when the person you're caring for is irritable or angry. You're an easy target. If this is happening, find support for yourself; don't struggle on alone. Ask the doctor for a referral to a therapist and a support group.
How to take care of yourself
1. Be practical, but avoid pessimism.
Based on what the doctor tells you to expect from Stage 4 COPD, you may look ahead and dread what's to come. However, COPD is nothing if not unpredictable, and COPD patients experience a wide range of symptoms and limitations. In the case of advanced COPD, an approach of "plan for the worst, expect the best" is going to work best. You want to feel protected if your loved one's condition declines, but meanwhile you want to enjoy what today has to offer.
Action steps
Stay in touch with friends and family members. Keep up phone and e-mail contact with your immediate support network. If you need to, don't be shy about asking them to provide respite care or pitch in financially to help pay for home nursing help.
Make sure the person you're caring for has put legal protections in place, such as a durable power of attorney for finances and an advance health care directive and living will, so you're empowered to make medical decisions for your loved one should you need to.
Educate yourself on late-stage treatments, but try not to borrow trouble. COPD is a progressive disease, but it progresses at different rates. Talk to your loved one's doctor about what to expect, but don't panic or assume the worst. COPD sufferers "plateau" and maintain a certain level of symptoms for long periods of time.
Seek emotional support. Find a COPD caregivers' support group. If there isn't one in your area, ask your loved one's doctor or social worker if the medical center can put you in touch with other families coping with this disease. If that doesn't work, seek help online, or look for a general caregivers' support group.
2. Don't try to go it alone.
What typically happens as COPD progresses is that the person you're caring for can no longer handle physical tasks around the house, leaving you responsible for everything, even as you're caring for his or her health. Meanwhile, your loved one may resist visitors when he or she isn't feeling up to par, which can leave you isolated. Don't let fatigue and disability prevent you from involving family and friends in your loved one's life; you need their support.
Action steps
Encourage friends and family members to visit. As it becomes harder to travel and get out, it's increasingly important to be social at home. Be clear about what the person you're caring for can handle, so visits don't get too long or loud. If talking or eating together is a strain, do something relaxing, like watching TV together or playing cards.
Don't let yourself feel trapped. Many COPD sufferers fear being left alone, but it's also not good for your relationship for you to be chained together. Go out when you need to, using cell phones to stay in touch; if this doesn't feel safe, find someone to stay with your loved one while you get breaks.
Seek help for household tasks that are falling on your shoulders. If, for example, you can't keep up with the yard work on your own, consider hiring some help if you can afford it. If not, ask friends and family members to help you out when they visit.
Be germ-phobic. Because pneumonia is a dangerous risk for COPD patients, make clear that no one can visit if they're sick. Have everyone wash their hands when they enter the house.
Keep kids away from oxygen equipment. The knobs and dials look tempting to small hands, and changing settings can be highly dangerous.
How to build your family-and-friends support system
1. Stay positive, but be realistic.
A diagnosis of Stage IV COPD is scary for everyone, and peoples' reactions will vary from misunderstanding and denial to making dire predictions. Family members may have a hard time understanding and accepting the seriousness of your loved one's COPD, or they may become fatalistic and act as if it's time to give up and prepare for the end. Neither reaction is going to help you, the primary caregiver, so it's your job to help others see the situation as it is and pitch in to lend a hand.
Action steps
Stay in touch and share what your family member is experiencing. Update family and friends regularly, and don't minimize symptoms. Talk about your own feelings, too; if your loved one has an exacerbation and it's scary, say so. The more you share, the better they'll begin to understand what's happening and what's in store.
If family members seem to be in denial, suggest that they spend time with the person who has COPD -- taking a walk or doing something else that involves mobility -- so they can experience what's happening. It's much easier for people to understand the physical limitations that come with COPD if they see them firsthand.
Share what you learn. Most people are unaware of how profoundly advanced COPD affects lifestyle and even changes personality. Share the medical information that doctors provide, and pass along links to articles and other research you discover.
Be open about changes in your loved one's situation. Don't put on a "brave face" and keep details private. If you're exploring oxygen therapy, tell family and friends. When it's time to get a walker or wheelchair, discuss this with family.
Communicate clearly. If you need help exploring options or making decisions for palliative care, this is the time to ask.
2. Ask for help in specific ways.
Many family members and friends will be willing to help but may not know what to do, or they'll need prompting.
Action steps
Keep a list of tasks, from mowing the lawn to fixing the leaky faucet to picking up groceries.
When you request help, be as detailed as possible, and give plenty of advance notice unless it's an emergency. It's also helpful to mention time constraints or potential obstacles: "He'll need to be dropped off at the front, then you'll need to go park and rejoin him, so plan to arrive 15 minutes early."
If possible, divide tasks into categories and give each category to one sibling or other family member. Let someone with technological expertise help you choose a medical alert system; let someone with mechanical abilities help you figure out the best portable oxygen system to use.
Don't hesitate to ask family members who aren't close by or readily available to pitch in financially. If a family member pays for a housecleaner to come in once every two weeks, wouldn't that lift your burdens and free you to concentrate on caregiving?
3. Don't panic when it's time for hard decisions.
Deciding what to do as COPD progresses can be difficult, and not everyone will feel the same course of action is the correct one. Expect discussion and disagreement, and keep your cool as each person airs his or her opinion.
Action steps
Make sure everyone has the most up-to-date information, and remind everyone what the doctor advises. Go through pros and cons. Once you've made a decision, stick to it long enough to give it a chance to work.
Meet complaints and criticisms with requests for help. If a family member disagrees with something you're doing, let him or her take responsibility for coming up with an alternate plan or solution. Try not to take it personally, and keep everyone focused on practical action.
When there are big decisions to be made, call a family meeting so everyone feels included. Family conference calls can help include those who don't live close by. Setting up a family e-mail list can help streamline communication and share news.
Once decisions are made, let them go. Guilt and resentment are the twin ghosts that haunt of family caregivers. Once choices have been researched and decisions made, the only healthy strategy is to move on. Don't let bad feelings drag you down and sap the energy you need to continue caring for your loved one.

Members of Detachment 1 of the 149th Vertical Construction Company, based in Olive Hill, were honored at a deployment ceremony last Sunday at West Carter High School.
After a brief stop in Texas, the Kentucky Army National Guard unit is bound for a tour of duty in Afghanistan that will keep them away from home for at least nine months.
Brig. Gen. Mike Richie, commander of the Kentucky Joint Force Land Component, was on hand to address the unit as it prepared for departure.
"You're going to be rebuilding a nation. It's a very important mission so that we can get out of that part of the world and turn things back over to them. I have no doubt that you will exceed all expectations," the general told the troops and their families.
During the unit's last deployment to Afghanistan in 2008-09, its primary mission was detection and removal of landmines.
This time, however, the company has a different mission, to construct facilities for use by Afghan forces who will be responsible for defending the country when U.S. forces are withdrawn next year.
Sen. Robin Webb highlighted the gap that the unit will leave in the community during its overseas deployment.
"You are the fabric of this community and our commonwealth," she stated. "We, as a community, will try to fill the void and help with the challenges that your families will face while you're gone."
"You have a place in our hearts, in our minds, and in our prayers," Webb said with tears in her eyes.
Those bound for deployment will assemble one last time at the Olive Hill armory this week to "load up and weigh in" before finally heading out.
"You are courageous," said State Rep. Jill York. "You are committed. And it's obvious that you have great love of country. "Here before us are Kentucky's finest; our American strength – our American soldiers."

DNC – Day 2
Unusually for Democrats, Terror War Is a Talking Point
Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has awarded grades to his national-security staff for his administration's foreign-policy priorities. Some marks, such as for advancing Israeli-Palestinian peace, have been low, officials say; others, such as for degrading al Qaeda, have been strong. After the killing of Osama bin Laden, the president gave that category an 'A'. The internal reports mirror an unusual twist this campaign: Mr. Obama is the rare Democratic president running for re-election for whom national security is a strength, not a weakness, among voters as a whole. WSJ's Julian Barnes explains the Presidents change of heart.

"Hops" by Anita Turnage is a story about Haden, a boy who loved to catch bugs. He always went to Nana T to help her in her garden and look for new adventures at her house. One day he went by Nana T's house and she was pulling some weeds and they saw this cute little frog with a bright green color. They were staying very still so he wouldn't get scared. Haden was very excited about the froggy and tried to be at Nana T's house almost every day to spend time playing. One afternoon he couldn't go, and Nana T called to give Haden a report of the froggy, and ask him for a name and he chose Hops! So Hops and Haden spent all summer playing and even saw how he was in the window glass and saw how bugs will be close to him and he pulled a long tongue to grab them and eat them. In the winter time they went out to look for bugs and did not see any and Haden was surprised that he saw Hops inside a hole in the brick and his color was not green any more, Nana T explained that in the winter they change color to protect themselves. Haden loved all the new things he learned about frogs and was very happy to have a friend.
"Hops" by Anita Turnage is a cute story. It is nice how Haden and Nana T could share new adventures and learn about frogs, what they eat and where they live in the winter time. I liked how at the end of the story you can learn more fun things about frogs.

Swann's Way
- Letto da: Simon Vance
- Durata: 17 ore e 31 min
- Versione integrale
- Data di pubblicazione: 24 09 2010
- Lingua: Inglese
- Editore: Tantor Audio
Sintesi dell'editore
Swann's Way is the first novel of Marcel Proust's seven-volume magnum opus In Search of Lost Time. Following the narrator's opening ruminations about the nature of sleep is one of 20th-century literature's most famous scenes: the eating of the madeleine soaked in a "decoction of lime-flowers", the associative act from which the remainder of the narrative unfurls.
After elaborate reminiscences about his childhood with relatives in rural Combray and in urban Paris, Proust's narrator recalls a story regarding Charles Swann, a major figure in his Combray childhood, and his escapades in 19th-century privileged Parisian society, revolving around his obsessive love for young socialite Odette de Creacy.
Filled with searing, insightful, and humorous criticisms of French society, this novel showcases Proust's innovative prose style. With narration that alternates between first and third person, Swann's Way unconventionally introduces Proust's recurring themes of memory, love, art, and the human experience - and for nearly a century, audiences have deliciously savored each moment.

Like that madeleine...
I listen to a LOT of audiobooks -- daily. I often listen as I go about tasks -- gardening, driving, needlework, etc. This production of Swann's Way stopped me in my tracks. It is so rich, so engaging that it requires my full attention and engages my feelings and thoughts wholly. If you thought Proust perhaps less than accessible, dip in to this. Mr. Vance's narration will lead you to that place of memory, longing and insight that may have been Proust's best intention for his work. Savor it. Roll it around on the tongue of your mind. Enjoy.

Not the newer, far better translation
Because the Audible "release date" is 9-10, I thought this "new" recording must be the Lydia Davis translation. If you glance at the old Moncrief version (this recording, it turns out), youi can see why everyone has said for years, "you've got to read the French to get Proust." But the critics unanimously have praised the new translations for "In Search of Lost Time" series. And Davis' Swann's Way (from 2002!) has had hymns composed in praise.
Yet here we have a "new" release in the old Victorian Moncrief mess that has put so many English readers to sleep. Though I paid for book in December, I didn't start listening until recently and feel deceived and ripped off by Audible's lack of description. Of course, shame on me for thinking recent should mean up to date.

Absolute nonsense
This book follows what can only be assumed to be the ravings of an Oedipal mama's boy, with absolutely no point or plot to be seen. Worst possible novel ever written. If I hear Simon Vance say Combray one more time, I might jump from a building.

Proust at a gallop
This is Proust at a gallop. Simon Vance has a pleasant voice and articulates beautifully, but reads far too fast. No time to relish the words or enjoy the thought; the narrative has already left me behind. Don't buy this version. It's exhausting.

If somebody needs an application that is flawless on security standards and high on connectivity parameters, then TeamViewer is the best option. The application is sure not to compromise on the security of the systems connected through internet. All the members are connected through this application as per convenience and accordingly proper care is taken to ensure that the security of the system is never at stake. The safe data channels and privacy standards are fully ensured by the service provider while installing the system on desired platforms. The said application has been a successful contender for winning the major security certifications and has also been able to work beyond unnecessary firewalls.
TeamViewer Respects the Necessary Protocol
Any organization is considered safe only when it comprises of leak-proof systems. The security of the organization is aptly assured by this networking application that screens all the IP addresses efficiently and does not allow the unidentified system to enter the network. The German quality evaluators have passed this application on all the security and quality parameters and recommended its use in environments like bank applications also where very highly secured systems are sought-after. Quality standards of encoding like AES (256 bit) and RSA key exchange for both public and private environments are adopted by this networking application.
The technology adopted by TeamViewer meets all the safety standards and is compatible to protocols like http and SSL that are prevalent in the today's networking world.
Protected Access and Coded Signature Add to the Safety of the System
Partner ID and usernames are displayed within the networking team only and use of VeriSign codes to assign signatures takes the security of the network to the higher levels. The origin of the users is instantly verified with the coded signature feature and hence there is no need to bother about the security concerns related to the networking and internet environment.
The partner ID safety is further enhanced by the use of session passwords that need to be renewed every time the new chatting or connectivity session begins. This session password is also asked when the software requirements are changed and certain sharing actions like file or video transfers are performed by the user. GAD eG is one of the prime evaluators that have given their nod to the application of this connectivity software in various working environments.
Quality Awards Won by TeamViewer
Apart from qualifying for the quality certificates like ISO 9001:2008, the application has been able to meet the required standards set by German association of IT appraisers and assessors and awarded with full five stars for impeccable performance and unmatched features.
The German FIDUCIA IT AG also took the responsibility of assessing the quality of the software and awarded high points to it in terms of respecting protocol and meeting security requirements of the connected systems. The report presented by this assessor holds high regard because of their involvement in assessing the secured work environments like that of banking. TeamViewer is secure, fast and fool proof way to connect the required computer systems under common working environment.
