Beware those companies offering full coverage warranties longer than five years, chances are they are not planning on remaining in business long enough to honor it by half. If something unforeseen, assuming proper care and maintenance and at no fault to yourself, were to occur with the material that we apply, we will return immediately and at absolutely zero cost to you.

Princeton professors Scott Burnham and Peter Schäfer have received the University's Howard T. Behrman Award for Distinguished Achievement in the Humanities.
Burnham, the Scheide Professor of Music History, has been a Princeton faculty member since 1989. He is known as a musicologist with a gift for writing. His most influential books include "Mozart's Grace," published by Princeton University Press last year; "Beethoven and His World"; "Beethoven Hero"; and "Sounding Values," which features essays on mainstream Western music, music theory aesthetics and criticism. Burnham is also the author of dozens of articles about the importance of music, and he regularly gives public lectures, often before music concerts.
His honors include a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, a National Humanities Center Fellowship, the Wallace Berry Award for outstanding book in music theory for "Beethoven Hero," and a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship for University Teachers.
In nominating Burnham for the Behrman Award, a colleague wrote: "He has, over the past 25 years, changed the fields of musicology and music theory, has illuminated great works of art with his own artful prose, and has become the embodiment of musical insight for Princeton University students and the broader Princeton community."
Another colleague wrote: "Anyone who has watched, and heard, Scott lecture on 18th- and 19th-century music knows that he has a talent for celebrating the complexity of the work at hand as he somehow erases his own ego. Faculty and students alike come to feel that the work is at once completely accessible and beautifully mysterious."
Schäfer, the Ronald O. Perelman Professor of Jewish Studies and professor of religion, has been a Princeton faculty member since 1998. He has served as the director of the Program in Judaic Studies since 2005. Schäfer is a prominent scholar of rabbinic Judaism and early Jewish mysticism who has deeply influenced Jewish studies in Germany, Israel and the United States.
Schäfer's books and articles have shaped the scholarship of key areas in the field. He has focused on the hekhalot texts, the literature of early Jewish mysticism, as well as rabbinic thought, allowing scholars to gain a better understanding of ancient manuscripts, including the Jerusalem Talmud. More recently, he has studied the relationship between the rabbis and Christianity, explored in his books "Jesus in the Talmud" and "The Jewish Jesus." He also has written about ancient anti-Semitism and the feminine aspects of God in Jewish texts from the Bible to the early Middle Ages, among other topics.
Schäfer also is known for his work organizing conferences at Princeton and around the world, and he has shared his insights through visiting faculty positions. He has received numerous honors. He is a corresponding fellow of the British Academy, a fellow of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, a foreign member of the American Philosophical Society and a fellow of the American Academy for Jewish Research. His awards include the Leibniz Prize and the Andrew W. Mellon Distinguished Achievement Award, and he was a Visiting Mellon Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study.
In nominating Schäfer for the Behrman Award, a colleague noted Schäfer's "exceptionally wide-ranging" scholarly interests and wrote: "At Princeton we have the privilege of working with many scholars who have had a major impact on their fields. But there are very few who have changed the face of a discipline as Peter Schäfer has."

WASHINGTON — Ten major banks and mortgage companies agreed Monday to pay $8.5 billion to settle federal complaints that they wrongfully foreclosed on homeowners who should have been allowed to stay in their homes.
The banks, which include JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, will pay billions to homeowners to end a review process of foreclosure files that was required under a 2011 enforcement action. The review was ordered because banks mishandled people's paperwork and skipped required steps in the foreclosure process.
Under the new settlement, people who were wrongfully foreclosed on could receive from $1,000 up to $125,000. Failing to offer someone a loan modification would be considered a lighter offense; unfairly seizing and selling a person's home would entitle that person to the biggest payment, according to guidelines released last summer by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Monday's settlement was announced jointly by the OCC and the Federal reserve.
The agreement covers up to 3.8 million people who were in foreclosure in 2009 and 2010. Of those, about 400,000 may be entitled to payments, advocates estimate.
About $3.3 billion would be direct payments to borrowers, regulators said. Another $5.2 billion would pay for other assistance including loan modifications.
The companies involved in the settlement also include: Citigroup, MetLife Bank, PNC Financial Services, Sovereign, SunTrust, U.S. Bank and Aurora. The 2011 action also included GMAC Mortgage, HSBC Finance Corp. and EMC Mortgage Corp.
The deal "represents a significant change in direction" from the original, 2011 agreements, Comptroller of the Currency Thomas Curry said in a statement.
Banks and consumer advocates had complained that the loan-by-loan reviews required under the 2011 order were time consuming and costly without reaching many homeowners. Banks were paying large sums to consultants who were reviewing the files. Some questioned the independence of those consultants, who often ruled against homeowners.
Curry said the new deal meets the original objectives "by ensuring that consumers are the ones who will benefit, and that they will benefit more quickly and in a more direct manner."
"It has become clear that carrying the process through to its conclusion would divert money away from the impacted homeowners and also needlessly delay the dispensation of compensation to affected borrowers," Curry said.
Some consumer advocates said that the agreement lets banks off the hook for payments that could have ended up being much higher.
"It's another get out of jail free card for the banks," said Diane Thompson, a lawyer with the National Consumer Law Center. "It caps their liability at a total number that's less than they thought they were going to pay going in."
Leaders of a House oversight panel asked regulators for a briefing on the proposed settlement on Friday. Regulators agreed to brief committee staff after the settlement was announced on Monday.

You can use pics of anybody, actors, singers, even more persons (e.g. bands) are allowed. But others must have a chance to guess whos it... so please no local people. :finger: And by the way: if you upload it to your usergallery, of course you shouldn't name the picture... Name it "whos it + number" From the moment the pic was guessed, you can rename it ;) This game can't be played as fast as the introducion game. you always have to wait till the creator of the last picture says who made the right answer. Of course the first one counts... ;) I'll start off: [album]3229[/album]


text: Hepatitis A is a highly contagious and sometimes serious liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus. Once called infectious hepatitis, today it is more commonly known as hepatitis A. Hepatitis A does not result in chronic infection, but complete recovery from hepatitis A can be slow. In adult patients with hepatitis A, the illness may last for at least one month, with recovery taking up to six months. Hepatitis A rates in the United States have declined by 92 percent since the vaccine (hepatitis A) first became available in 1995. What are the Symptoms of Hepatitis A? The following are the most common symptoms of hepatitis A. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms of hepatitis A often resemble flu-like symptoms. Symptoms may include: Fever Chills Joint pain Fatigue General feeling of weakness Loss of appetite Nausea Vomiting Abdominal discomfort Dark urine Clay-colored stools Jaundice--yellowing of the skin and eyes Diarrhea In some adults and in most children, especially those younger than 6 years of age, there are often no symptoms. The symptoms of hepatitis A may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis. What Causes Hepatitis A? This type of hepatitis is usually spread by fecal-oral contact or fecal-infected food and water, and may also be spread by blood-borne infection (which is rare). The following is a list of modes of transmission for hepatitis A: Consuming food made by someone who touched infected feces Drinking water that is contaminated by infected feces (a problem in developing countries with poor sewage removal) Touching an infected person's feces, which may occur with poor hand washing (outbreaks may occur in large child-care centers, especially when there are children in diapers) Sexual contact with an infected person Generally, casual contact in school or the workplace does not cause spread of the virus. What are the Risk Factors for Hepatitis A? Children, teens, and adults who may be at high risk of hepatitis A include the following: People traveling to areas of where hepatitis A is prevalent, including, but not limited to: Africa, Asia (except Japan), the Mediterranean basin, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central and South America, Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean People living in or relocating to any community in the U.S. or abroad with one or more recorded hepatitis A outbreaks within the past five years Military personnel People who engage in high-risk sexual activity Users of illegal intravenous (IV) drugs Hemophiliacs and other recipients of therapeutic blood products Employees of day-care centers Institutional care workers Laboratory workers who handle live hepatitis A virus People who handle primate animals that may be carrying the hepatitis A virus Hepatitis A is sometimes called a traveler's disease because it is the most frequently occurring, vaccine-preventable infection in travelers. However, it is possible to become infected with hepatitis A virus without ever leaving the United States. Some cases reported in the United States have occurred in people with no identifiable risk factors. Prevention of Hepatitis A In addition to avoiding risky behaviors, there are two methods for prevention of hepatitis A: Immune globulin: a preparation of antibodies that is given both before anticipated exposure to the hepatitis A virus and soon after exposure Hepatitis A vaccine: the vaccine consists of killed hepatitis A virus that stimulates the body's natural immune system. After the vaccine is given, the body makes antibodies that protect a person against the virus. Please consult your doctor if you have any questions about its use. The CDC recommends the hepatitis A vaccine for the following groups who are at risk for the infection, as well as for anyone who wants to have the vaccine: people traveling to or working in countries that have high or intermediate rates of hepatitis A all children 12 months of age men who have sex with men illegal drug users people at occupational risk for the disease people with chronic liver disease people with clotting-factor disorders such as hemophilia How is Hepatitis A Diagnosed? In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, a blood test called IgM anti-HAV is needed to diagnose hepatitis A. This test looks specifically for the presence of antibodies against the hepatitis A virus in the blood. Treatment for Hepatitis A Specific treatment for hepatitis A will be determined by your doctor based on: your age, overall health, and medical history extent of the disease your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies expectations for the course of the disease your opinion or preference Most people recover from hepatitis A infection without medical intervention; however, bed rest and some medications may be suggested.

As Americans continue to sort out the contents of the fiscal cliff legislative package passed by Congress Tuesday, they are finding elements they like and some they hate.
There's one exception. Everyone is glad Congress finally found a permanent fix for the alternative minimum tax.
That one portion of the U.S. tax code -- always intended to affect only very wealthy people -- had turned itself into a dreaded stalker. The AMT became a constant threat to millions of middle-class taxpayers who never understood it and never knew when it might strike them.
Each year, Congress would rush to the rescue to "fix" the AMT to keep it from walloping tens of millions of filers with hefty new taxes. But until this week, lawmakers would never approve a long-term solution. Why? Largely because having the AMT on the books helped future budget deficits look smaller by making it appear that new tax revenues soon would be rolling in.
"It was a useful fiction, but it was incredibly irresponsible," said Marc Goldwein, senior policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan research group.
Goldwein said that on paper, the AMT would generate tons of tax revenues in coming years, making the future deficits look less frightening. But no one on Capitol Hill ever believed those funds would actually show up because each year, lawmakers would apply a "patch" to keep the AMT from hauling in huge revenues.
The Tax Policy Center, another research group, estimates that in 2022, the AMT -- with no patch -- would generate nearly $400 billion in revenues to fund government. But if Congress were to apply the typical patch as it always does, the AMT would bring in only about $90 billion in revenues in 2022.
How did the situation get this weird? It's complicated. We'll explain:
- In 1969, Congress decided it needed to ensure that everyone paid a minimum amount of taxes. But it also wanted to preserve tax breaks written into the code as economic and social incentives.
- For example, Congress wanted to keep the home mortgage interest deduction to provide more incentive to buy real estate. Supporters of that deduction say homeownership has economic and social value.
- But the tax code had so many various deductions that some wealthy people could take an array of them and end up paying extremely low taxes.
- So Congress created a parallel tax system. The wealthy could prepare their taxes in the usual way, then recalculate their taxes under the AMT formula, and pay whichever amount was bigger.
Unfortunately, Congress failed to build in an inflation escalator. And over ensuing decades, it cut tax rates. The combined effect of higher inflation and lower rates undermined the intent of the AMT. Each year, it threatened to hit more and more middle-class families.
The result was that a tax intended to affect only the richest Americans needed to get updated again and again so that it would hit only the wealthiest 4 million taxpayers. If Congress had not patched it on Tuesday, it would have applied to nearly half of the people with incomes of $75,000 to $100,000. That would have pulled in an estimated 27 million more tax filers, who would have found themselves paying an average of $3,700 more in taxes for 2012.
The annual push to patch the AMT became chaotic because of congressional gridlock. "The biggest and thorniest problem for the IRS and next year's filing season is the AMT patch," IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said in a September speech to the American Bar Association.
Finally, in the fiscal cliff deal, Congress agreed to permanently adjust AMT income exemption levels to inflation. It also gives lower-income families bigger tax breaks to make sure they don't face the threat of getting caught up in the AMT.
Tax experts say the changes will pretty much ensure that people making less than six-figure salaries won't have to think about the AMT rates, which range from 26 percent for singles to 28 percent for married couples. The tax collected some $102 billion in 2010, the last tax year on record.
Goldwein said the permanent fix will now provide a more realistic assessment of what revenues will be coming in the future. "One nice thing about the fiscal cliff deal -- at least from a budget wonk perspective -- is that what is written into law is more closely aligned with what will actually happen in the future."
And it will be better for taxpayers, who now will be able to plan better for what their taxes will be each year, according to Mark Vitner, senior economist for Wells Fargo Securities LLC.
"You shouldn't go through this patchwork year after year," Vitner said. "It's always preferable to remove uncertainty."

Free Download Centre
TuneUp Utilities 2010 can quickly make your Windows operating system faster, easier to use, and more secure. And all operations performed on the operating system are completely safe, because all changes are monitored by TuneUp Rescue Center and can be undone at any time. All TuneUp Utilities modules can be accessed through a common interface that is divided into six categories. In addition, the main window also has three general buttons in a dark gray bar to the right at the top of the window. Pressing the first button starts the TuneUp Rescue Center module. The second button starts the TuneUp Update Wizard, which can be used to update TuneUp Utilities 2009 to the latest version over the Internet. The last button provides help and settings that you can use to customize the software package to meet your needs.
The new Start page TuneUp Utilities 2010 welcomes you with a completely redesigned Start page, which tells you about the status of your computer. If problems or nonoptimal settings are found, you are only a mouse-click away from resolving them. The Start page also tells you when new tips for increasing computer performance are available and warns you if maintenance tasks are not being taken care of automatically. The Start page also shows you whether new automatic startup programs have been added to Windows since the last time you ran TuneUp Utilities. You can decide whether these programs that start up automatically are really necessary.
TuneUp Speed Optimizer Which settings slow your computer down? Which unnecessary services or programs are running in the background? Is your Internet connection optimally configured? TuneUp Speed Optimizer knows the answers to all these questions. It examines your entire system for bottlenecks, superfluous background programs, and incorrect settings. Great: with just one click you can carry out most optimizations very quickly. In addition, TuneUp Speed Optimizer provides suggestions for speeding up your system.
TuneUp Shortcut Cleaner Cleaning up your working environment is tedious: removing invalid shortcuts from the Start menu, the Desktop, and the Quick Launch bar is very time-consuming. TuneUp ShortCut Cleaner now does the work for you. It checks whether all shortcuts are valid and removes the orphaned ones with just a click of a button. At the same time, empty folders are removed from the Start menu. TuneUp ShortCut Cleaner also checks frequently used programs and cleans up the list of recently opened files.
Support for the Opera browser After hard disk defragmentation, which we introduced in TuneUp Utilities 2009, the feature most requested by customers was support for the Opera browser. TuneUp Utilities 2010 now also includes full support for Opera. Via several special Opera settings, TuneUp System Control now allows you to change the number of Speed Dial entries, conveniently choose your default search engine, and reenable fast backward and forward navigation. Internet optimization lets you optimize Opera's performance for your Internet connection. Free up disk space lets you delete the Opera cache.
TuneUp Styler Now you can also change the Vista logo animation which appears just before logon. You can download a whole series of great animations from the TuneUp website. Or, if you prefer, you can choose your own personal image to display while Vista starts up. With Vista, you can also add your own images to Vista's logon screen: With just a few mouse clicks you can create a truly personal logon experience.
TuneUp Uninstall Manager Redesigned from the ground up, TuneUp Install Manager now runs much faster and has a new, even more intuitive interface so that it is even easier to uninstall unnecessary programs. Unnecessary programs often are forgotten because they were installed a long time ago and then not used. TuneUp Utilities 2009 shows you a list of programs not used for a long time so that you can target for uninstallation those applications that use valuable disk space and in certain circumstances even slow your system down.
TuneUp StartUp Manager A smooth-running system results when there are no unnecessary autostart applications. The improved TuneUp Startup Manager organizes your programs into groups and provides clear explanations to make it easier for you to identify those programs that are not needed.New automatic startup programs are now highlighted so that you can disable unwanted entries more easily. System start tasks are now also listed in TuneUp StartUp Manager In Vista, in particular, scheduled tasks are used in place of autostart entries.
Free up disk space The already rapid display of disk space to be freed up is now even faster on NTFS drives. And now it is so easy to delete even more unnecessary files, like the backup files for the first Windows Vista service pack and the Opera and Safari caches. The second "Free up disk space" module that helps you turn off Windows functions that use excessive disk space has also been enhanced. The Windows Search index can now be disabled and deleted with a single click. This makes particular sense if you are already using a different search engine. In addition, TuneUp Disk Space Explorer now runs faster and no longer requires that an entire drive be analyzed. You can now specify that only those folders be analyzed that you are really interested in.
Lots more improvements Along with the totally new features, there are a series of improvements that are not immediately visible. There are small improvements like Tooltips in the main window, a substantial increase in the number of problems that can be found byTuneUp Registry Cleaner, and better progress feedback from TuneUp Drive Defrag. But there are also big improvements "under the hood". Two good examples are a completely reworked installation program and significant improvements in our update technology.

I love listening to music while I'm cooking/baking. And I sing along, too – oh, my poor neighbors... :)
Certain recipes remind me of certain songs, probably because I was listening to them on repeat mode – another bad habit of mine – while preparing the food. The Darkest Chocolate Crepe Cake, for example, instantly brings Steve Winwood's "Valerie" to my mind, and vice versa. Crash Hot Potatoes = Clapton's "It's in the way that you used it". The list goes on and on.
The radio was off when I made this tart, but something tells me that this song would go with it very well. :)
Lemon tart
from Donna Hay magazine
- metric and imperial measurements found in the magazine; I used my scale
1 1/3 cups (200g/7oz) all purpose flour
100g (3 ½oz) cold unsalted butter, chopped
1 tablespoon caster sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Lemon filling:
1 cup (8 fl oz) single or pouring cream
2 eggs
3 egg yolks
½ cup (110g/3 ¾oz) caster sugar
½ cup (4 fl oz) lemon juice
Place the flour, butter and sugar in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg and vanilla and process in short bursts until the pastry just comes together. Turn out and bring together to form a ball. Flatten the pastry, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until 3mm (1/8 in) thick. Line a deep 22cm (9in) round pastry ring* with the pastry, trim and prick the base with a fork. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/360ºF. Line the pastry with non-stick baking paper, fill with baking weights or dried beans and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the weights/beans and paper and bake for a further 2-3 minutes or until golden. Set aside.
Reduce the oven to 140ºC/285ºF. To make the lemon filling, place the cream, eggs, egg yolks, sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour the mixture into the tart shell and use the back of a metal spoon to skim the surface to remove any bubbles. Bake for 20 minutes or until just set. Allow to cool and refrigerate until completely set.
* I used a shallow pan and there was some dough left; I froze it and to avoid wasting lemon filling I halved the recipe.
Serves 8

I'm still knitting, but all my projects right now add up to one long snore, at least in the telling. There's a little sweater here. And a hat. And a striped scarf I'm making from what looks like Noro Kureyon
but is actually a budget-priced imitator I got at Threadbear–Kaleidoscope from Elegant Yarns. It doesn't have the ineffable shimmer of Kureyon, but it's pure wool and it cost eight bucks for 174 yards. I can deal with a lower shimmer rating for eight bucks.
I know what's going on. I've switched temporarily from knitting as thrill to knitting as anesthetic. I already have a full bucket of thrills, thank you. These include:
- The thrill of having a new book on the shelves. (Or at least, according to my latest intelligence, on the way to the shelves–look for it early next week.)
- The thrill of traveling to far-away places to meet wonderful knitters who want me to sign the book.
- The thrill of hurtling through space to the next signing praying my airplane will not suddenly plummet to earth.
- The thrill of knowing that in the course of any given signing I will fail to recognize at least half the wonderful knitters I've seen before. (Among my friends I am notorious for this. I forget the names and faces of my own kin if it's been more than six months since our last meeting. "Why yes, we've been introduced. I'm your mother.")
- The thrill of trying to make a living in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression by drawing funny pictures of sheep.
But it's just for the moment. I'm looking at you, Wedding Ring Shawl.
Man Flesh for Sale
No, not mine. But the Guys with Yarn calendar is here.

Now streaming on:
We know he lives in movies because we literally find him in one. Leos Carax's much-debated "Holy Motors" begins with a man (Carax himself) asleep in bed, then waking and approaching a wall of the room that looks like a forest. Knowing just where to look among the trees, he unlocks a door using a key growing from his finger. Well, isn't that what artists do? Unlock doors with their fingers?
Now this man is inside a cinema, and we meet Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant), who lives in a house that seems designed by the same architect employed in Jacques Tati's "Mon Oncle." He gets into the waiting limo, driven by a taciturn woman, and we see that the back of the limo, seemingly much larger inside than the outside, is a dressing room filled with costumes and props. When he gets out the first time, he has transformed himself into a wretched beggar woman. This will be the first of his many roles, or assignments, or embodiments. He performs in bizarre and mysterious ways, linked only by the desire of a mime or comedian to entertain and amaze us. His "appointments" take him into personas so diverse, it would be futile to try to link them, or find a thread of narrative or symbolism. If there is a message here, Walt Whitman once put it into words: "I am large. I contain multitudes."
Here is M. Oscar as a madman wandering street markets and eating flowers or whatever else he can snatch up. M. Oscar in the most famous cemetery in Paris, Pere Lachaise, occupied by the dead and famous (Moliere, Chopin, Jim Morrison, Colette, Oscar Wilde). In "Holy Motors," however, the cemetery's tombstones carry no names, requesting us, to "visit my web site."
Here is M. Oscar transforming a fashion model (Eva Mendes) into a Muslim woman concealed within her costume. And that's not all that happens to her, although she adheres to the model's code and never betrays emotions or opinions. Her job is to embody a beautiful object for the purposes of others. Their travels through the city lead to the roof of the Samaritaine department store, producing stunning vistas of Paris.
Celine (Edith Scob), his reserved chauffeur, seems long accustomed to her role. Once she expresses concern that M. Oscar hasn't eaten all day. Their day began at dawn and lasts far into the night, one "appointment" after another.
This has been a year of leading roles for limousines. M. Oscar's car upstages the limousine in David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis," and the journeys of both cars seem to be odysseys through their cities, for purposes not very clear to the audience. "Holy Motors" is the more entertaining and funny of the two, although some parts are not funny at all, and many laughs are of disbelief or incredulity. Both end with their limousines going home for the night, answering a question asked in "Cosmopolis," although when the limo in "Holy Motors" gets home, its day is far from over.
Here is a film that is exasperating, frustrating, anarchic and in a constant state of renewal. It's not tame. Some audience members are going to grow very restless. My notion is, few will be bored.
115 minutes
Michel Piccoli as Man
Denis Lavant as M. Oscar

Summer might be over but the first week of autumn is set to be warmer than average with temperatures hitting as high as 25C.
As many children return to school this week, it is set to get warmer "day on day" from Tuesday onwards, a meteorologist at the Met Office said.
Krista Mitchell said by Friday temperatures could be as high as 24C or 25C during sunny spells in the south - with the overall average temperature for September being a significantly lower 16C or 17C.
Story continues after slideshow...
As the new season gets underway, cloud and rain will push in from the north tonight, pushing southwards, making the first morning of autumn quite cloudy and dull with outbreaks of rain.
Through tomorrow, dry and brighter conditions will push in from the north west, and while south-eastern parts will stay cloudy for much of the day with outbreaks of rain, those conditions are expected to clear - and then temperatures are set to increase.
Krista Mitchell, meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "What we've got is high pressure building which is bringing more settled conditions, and also slightly warmer conditions as well.
"We had a pretty cool August, temperatures in places below average for the last couple of weeks, so it looks like it's warming up as we go into the middle of the week.
"It's not going to be wall-to-wall sunshine but where there are sunny spells it's going to feel pretty warm.
"Generally temperatures are rising day on day from Tuesday, basically. By Thursday or Friday, we could see 24C or 25C in the sunny spells in the south."
She added: "It's not a negative picture for the north by any stretch."
Scotland and the north of England could see temperatures of 20C or 21C.
