This is the story of Mary, she is sixteen, during her summer school holidays she works at the hotel her parents own. This story needs to be read in order for continuity, this is what she gets up in that holiday……
My name is Mary, I am sixteen years old, a petite 5' 3", my parents own a very upmarket hotel in the heart of London. The hotel predominantly caters for the very rich, there are 12 self contained suites/apartments and they are usually habited by long term guests for months at a time. I have led a very sheltered life, I had little or no friends as I struggled to keep up friendships after school as I was expected to go straight home and help my parents in the business.
This summer I had befriended one of the chambermaids called Claire, she was 18 years old, on her first placement away from home, we became very close and after a lot of badgering and persuading my parents agreed that I could share her room. I think they had finally realised I needed friends of my own, either that or it was an excuse to off load me onto someone else, I always got the impression I was a thorn in the freedom of their side so to speak. The room was right at the top of the house, twin bedded with a small ensuite and skylights in the ceiling, I was so excited to be allowed to share with her.
The first few nights we would undress quickly before bed, embarrassed about being naked in front of one another, I couldn't help it but to cast furtive glances at Claire's more mature body comparing hers to mine. She had larger breasts than me, she had a bob of shiny black hair and her pussy hair was dark but clipped, shaved or waxed into a small triangle, she was so different to me, I am fair with shoulder length hair, small developing breasts and just some light downy fuzz between my legs. I couldn't help but watch her, apart from changing for gym or sports at school, I had never seen another person's body!
On the third or fourth night, I was jolted awake quite suddenly, lying very still I heard Claire moaning softly, it must have been a full moon as our bedroom was bathed in a brilliant silvery light from the skylights. I looked across at Claire's bed, it was quite a warm night so her body was only covered in a sheet, she was obviously naked as I could see her nightdress discarded by her pillow. Realising she was awake I keep my eyes nearly closed so she would not see me watching her, I could see movement under the sheet by her breasts and down by the top of her legs. As her moans became louder the movement seemed to become faster, I had to shut my eyes quite quickly as she suddenly threw the sheet off of her body and I wasn't sure if she was getting out of bed and would have seen me watching her.
Listening, I reopened my eyes once I was certain that she was still on the bed, to what a sight! She lay naked squeezing her nipples with one hand and her other hand was between her opened legs moving in quite rapid judders faster and faster, suddenly she tilted her pelvis off of the bed crying out before slowing her hand down between her legs. Her body was glistening with sweat, I had no idea what she was doing but my pussy was tingling like crazy.
Eventually she seemed to drop off to sleep and I got bored watching nothing so I rolled over with my back to her and went back to sleep. When I woke in the morning she was re-covered and fast asleep.
Our working days at the hotel were quite hectic so I hardly saw her all of that day until it was evening, we served dinner to those residents who wanted it and retired to our room to eat our own. Later on when we were changing for bed and we stood naked in our room, Claire stood watching me, and asked,
'Did you see me make myself cum last night Mary?'
'Nnnnooo, I don't know what you mean.' I nervously muttered.
'You lay in your bed with your eyes half shut watching me play with myself didn't you?' she demanded, it was glaringly obvious she had seen me watching, what was the point of denying it, I didn't want to fall out with her and end up going back to my room on my own.
'Okay, yes I did watch you, you woke me with your moaning!' I said defensively.
'Do you never have the urge to make yourself cum Mary?' she quietly questioned.
Hanging my head in embarrassment I said,
'I don't even know how.'
She giggled softly, making me blush all the more,
'You mean you've never played with yourself or explored your body Mary?'
I just lamely shrugged my shoulders, what else could I say? I couldn't even look her in the eye, I felt myself blush to my roots.
'Come here.' She urged me softly. I shuffled over to her still refusing to make eye contact with her. She put her fingers under my chin and pushed my face up to meet hers,
'Poor little virgin Mary, I'll show you what to do, we can have fun together.'
She didn't mean it nastily, she was so shocked that I had never touched myself. It was at that point that I realised how sexually backward I was for my age, here was Claire two years older than me and yet fully aware of her own body and others, I was certain.
She placed her hands on my shoulders, stroking along and down my arms, her touch caused goosebumps on my skin as I shivered in anticipation. Her hands moved across my breast bone and down to my nipples, lightly grazing them with the back of her fingers, I drew in a sharp intake of breath as the flesh around them tightened turning my little buds into tight knots of sensitive flesh. My pussy started to tingle the same as when I was watching her last night,
'Touch my breasts, copy me Mary.' Claire suggested.
We stroked and explored each others tits, I copied Claire's actions as she stroked and drew her fingers towards my nipples, rolling the hard peaks between her fingers causing us both to moan at one another. The tingling sensation between my legs persisted and I started to feel hot and wet down there,
'Why is my pussy wet and tingly?' I asked Claire,
'You're getting turned on, the wet is your juices.' She explained, I looked at her querulously,
'I don't understand…'
'When you get horny your cunt secretes juices which helps lubricate your hole ready for a cock or anything else you want to stick in there.'
I was still baffled by her response, I felt so thick and inexperienced my face scarlet with embarrassment.
'You've obviously led a very sheltered life, I was shagging at your age!' she laughed and grabbed my hand pulling me to the bed and pushing me down to sit on the edge. She grabbed a dressing room full length mirror, a relic from before the hotel was renovated which had been shoved upstairs in the staff quarters. Claire positioned the mirror in front of me and she came to sit down beside me with her legs open gesturing to me to do the same.
'Now, look in the mirror and pull your pussy lips open, oh god do you know nothing! Just copy me. Now at the top is a gristly piece of flesh behind the hood, that's your clit, that's heaven at a button once you know how to use it, it's one of the best spots to make you cum. Now you see further down there's lots of white colour creamy stuff, well that's your juices and if you carefully push your finger in the hole that's your cunt. That's were boys stick their knobs, or you can use a vibrator or anything else that takes your fancy I guess!'
Following her actions I sought my clit button trying to copy her, the way she was touching it then ventured down to my cunt feeling the creamy slippery substance, I copied her stroking her pussy up and down enjoying the feeling of my fingers moving up and down my slit.
'Now copy me and I'll show you how to stroke that wonderful little love button until you cum!' Claire instructed.
I watched as she started to massage her clit in gentle circular motions, I tried to do the same to mine but got so fixated watching her that I just stopped and slid onto the floor sitting at her feet and stared. She moved her fingers faster and faster over her clit closing her eyes and biting her lips, moaning between panting gasps. After a bit, her toes started to curl, her panting came faster, her fingers moving so fast,
'Yes, yeessss, I'm nearly there, oh fuck, faster, faster, lick me, suck on my clit for me…. Oh my word……I'm cumming!' she screamed, her cunt started pushing out loads of goo, her hole opening and closing like a gasping fish.
She sat in a prone position for ages, her breathing eventually slowing down and returning to normal.
'Are you okay, I was worried about you?' I asked her nervously.
'Yes I'm fine, that's what a good orgasm does for a girl, wipes her out, silly!' she laughed. 'What happened to you, I thought you were copying me?'
'Sorry, I was so transfixed watching you, I forgot what you showed me.' I felt my reply was so pathetic, 'will you show me again…. Please?'
'I'd love to, I love pussy myself, can't get enough of it!'
With that she told me to sit back on the bed and kneeled between my legs. She started slowly trailing her fingers lightly up and down my slit, rubbing my juices all over my pussy, I sat sitting up on my elbows watching her in the mirror. Her touch was awesome, my whole body felt hot, my nipples became really hard, such a buzzy feeling in my tummy. Then she started concentrating on my clit, rubbing her first two fingers back and forth, my heart quickened, I opened my legs wider wanting her to rub harder.
Then she stopped, she slid her thumbs down the length of my slit and back up the inner lips, splitting my juicy pink witness open for me to see in the mirror. She teases me with the tip of her tongue, then let the warm fullness of her tongue slide from my arsehole, up between my lips, and up to my swollen, sensitive clit. She circled it really slow, lazy circles, and then captured it in her mouth, teasing it, nibbling it, sucking it gently but firmly.
She slips two fingers in to the entrance of my love hole, just enough for me to beg for more,
'Please! Don't stop! Fuck me, please!'
She pushes her fingers into me as I raise my hips to meet her thrusts and a rhythm begins. Her mouth is still teasing my clit,
'Ohhhhh!' I moan loudly as I cum all over her hand and face. The orgasm is the best sensation I have ever had, my body tingles and twists, pulsing wonderful feelings through my body.
She continues to lick my juices from my cunt lips, once she is finished she sits up and puts her wet fingers to my lips asking,
'Do you want to taste yourself? Go on lick my fingers.'
Her fingers have a musky smell, I tentatively stick out my tongue and dab her finger, drawing the flavour into my mouth, it is not unpleasant but a strange flavour, I suck her fingers into my mouth caressing my tongue around them licking them clean.
She looks at me with her huge brown eyes,
'Will you do me now?'
I nod my head, we trade places she lays on the bed with her legs apart and I kneel down between her legs, I place my hands on her thighs stroking her olive skin with my finger tips. I press my nose into her pussy lips smelling her, nervously I put my mouth to her cunt and start to drink her strange tasting juices. Claire holds her labia wide open with her hand as I move in and lick her slit up and down – in long strokes that cover her entire pussy. From her streaming vagina up to the top of her clit, I lick her again and again, getting faster and faster, with my mouth buried in her mound, I can feel the juices wetting my face, running down to her arse.
She gasps, 'Stop a minute!' rolls to the side of her bed and reaches into the cabinet pulling out what I realise is a vibrator.
'Fuck me with this!'
'What do I do with it?' I once again feel stupid and embarrassed.
'Slide it into my cunt slowly to start and twist it to increase the vibrations, just do it!' she gasps in frustration.
I slowly work it in, inch by delicious inch, into Claire's wet cunt and then gently work it in and out, watching it disappear into her love hole. I lick her juices from the lips of her cunt, I stop and look at her,
'Do you like having this dildo inside of you?'
'Yes! Oh yes! Please don't stop!'
I twist the base of the machine which increases the buzzing inside her, continuing to lick her clit and fucking her with the toy. She begins squirming with her building orgasm. I cannot believe it, yesterday I was a naïve young girl, today I am in charge of a vibrating, gyrating throbbing 'cock' in her with me pumping it in and out of her juicy pussy, and my mouth is giving her clit a licking and a sucking to remember.
'Oh God! It feels soooo good to be sucked and fucked at the same time! Please! Please! Don't stop!'
Needless to say I don't, I slowly increase the pressure and the tempo of her fucking and she cries out,
'Harder! Faster! Oh God, fuck me! Please! Make me cum!'
I start pumping her cunt and sucking her clit for all I'm worth, suddenly she starts bucking up off the bed and grinding her pussy on the toy and into my face and screams,
'I'm cumming! Oh God! I'm cumming!'
Her cunt starts to pump more of her juices out around the vibrator, I greedily suck up the musky cream. I slow the vibrator down and slide it out of her wet cunt, leaving her pink hole spasming, I curiously stick my tongue into the cavity and feel her muscles pulling and stroking me.
When she has recovered, we crawl up onto the bed together and lay in each others arms cuddling. I gaze lovingly into Claire's eyes, in awe of everything she has shown me tonight, we fall asleep, me knowing that more must be to come.
Every night after that Claire showed me how to enjoy my body and hers, we explored each other cumming numerous times every night. She showed me how to trib, scissoring my slippery wet cunt against hers until we both came in a sweaty heap. She showed me how to suck a man's cock using her vibrator, she even showed me how to wear her strap on and fuck her like a man but the one thing which she refused to do was penetrate me with her dildo. She insisted that I should let a man do that, so I would remember what it felt like, it frustrated me so much it was the one thing I was missing.

A great method to conserve cash on your no-fault premium is to consent to organize no-fault gains with those of your own health insurance Quotes Chimp, with medical insurance policy being first in line to pay. Believe seriously about signing up, if such coordination is accessible to you. Toward giving better wage protection in the occasion an injury makes it hopeless for you to work to yourself and while you are at it, use the saved premiums.

Your Blog made perfect sense. It is awayls refreshing for someone in porn to give an honest answer about something as taboo as their real feelings. Everyone has to project the perfect company line that everyone likes everything and are completely up for anything. As a Lesbian who enjoys porn, i really appreciate your sensibility and am a big fan of your work. This is just another reason to like you. You articulated your stance on No Solos even if you yourself aren't even sure of all the reasons. LLM

Very nice - clear and well-described, and believeable. You set the scene well, and I could really see it in my imagination. Definitely one to add to my favourites list! Thanks, Lesley.

7:09 — Jerry Sandusky Verdict Due In A Half An Hour They Say!
By Johnny Tremaine and Stephanie Devereaux — I know we have prohibitions against "cruel and unusual punishment" in our legal germaine — but do you think it would still be all right if we ran a hay hook through his neck and hung him from the Penn State football field goal posts in the blistering sun, for – oh, let's say — the next 10,000 years — or until the Jesus reclaimed his body and soul — whichever came first.

text: Driving stoned doubles your risk of a serious car crashRobbie Gonzalez2/10/12 12:20pmFiled to: HealthScienceMarijuanaDrugsAlcoholTraffic FatalitiesMark asbridgePotlegalizationweedTHCTetrahydrocannabinolScitweetFb129EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Evidence suggests that driving high may be less dangerous than driving drunk, but driving stoned is still driving impaired — and assuming otherwise could get you killed. A new paper, published in this week's British Medical Journal, revealed that smoking pot within few hours of driving was associated with a nearly two-fold risk of being involved in a serious car crash, an association they say was especially strong for fatal collisions. Advertisement Advertisement As you might expect, the study found that people involved in fatal crashes tended to have higher quantities of THC in their systems than those who survived. That said, there was not enough data to paint a clear picture linking the amount of pot in a person's system to the risk and severity of collision, so no threshold of thc-intoxication (analogous to a blood alcohol limit of .08%) could be established.According to Mark Asbridge, who led the study, their findings could go a long way in raising awareness about the dangers of driving while stoned — a cause which has gone largely unnoticed, despite the fact that stoned driving could be a growing risk."[Here in North America] we have Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), and they devote a great deal of time to public awareness," explained Asbridge in a BMJ podcast, which you can listen to here. "And we simply haven't seen that for drug-use." He continues: Sponsored If you look at the rates of driving under the influence of cannabis — and, in particular, among young people — you see that rates of cannabis and driving actually surpass those of drinking and driving, particularly amongst those under the age of 25. We have reported rates [in Canada] between 15 and 20 percent for cannabis, in comparison to drinking and driving, which is usually around 10—15%, so clearly this is an issue on the rise, particularly among young people.The researchers' findings are published in the latest issue of the British Medical Journal (no subscription required).

NPR talks licorice
April 29th, 2010 by Rosa
NRP has a nice piece about licorice and vegetables/herbs that taste of licorice. I love this quote from it:
"I have always felt that the flavor of licorice overstays its welcome, like a chatty visitor whose friendliness turns out to disguise a monologuing narcissist."
It didn't change my mind about my distaste for licorice, but it was still a nice read!

PHILADELPHIA – Joakim Noah scored 21 points, Luol Deng added 19 points and 12 rebounds, and the Bulls won their fourth in a row on the road with a 96-89 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.
Less than 24 hours after losing to the Los Angeles Clippers by five points at United Center, the Bulls traveled to Philadelphia and appeared more rested than the Sixers, who had Tuesday off.
Marco Belinelli had 16 points and Nate Robinson, starting in place of guard Kirk Hinrich, had 14 for the Bulls. Hinrich injured his left knee in Tuesday's loss to the Clippers and is listed as day-to-day.
Jrue Holiday scored 26 points, Evan Turner added 16 and Thaddeus Young 13 for Philadelphia. Reserve Spencer Hawes chipped in with 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Nick Young also scored 10 for the Sixers.
Philadelphia took an 80-79 lead when Holiday knocked down a jumper with 5:20 remaining.
But the short-handed Bulls – still playing without All-Star guard Derrick Rose (left knee) as well as guards Richard Hamilton (torn plantar fascia in his left foot) and Hinrich – responded with a 7-0 run to take an 86-80 lead.
Jason Richardson hit a 3-pointer to get the Sixers within three before Deng came right back with a tough driving layup to push the lead back to five.
Deng had one of his worst games of the season with an eight-point effort against the Clippers, but he shook it off to help carry the Bulls to another tough road win.
The Sixers took a 44-41 lead into halftime despite missing all four of their 3-point attempts and all three of their free throws. Philadelphia shot 46 percent from the field.
Notes: Bulls F Carlos Boozer was whistled for a technical foul with 5:41 left in the second quarter. ... Noah also had seven rebounds and five assists.

The "Anatomy of a Perfect Crunch"
Describing the unique characteristics of a "perfect crunch" is a challenging task. It's easier to begin by explaining what it's NOT like. The "perfect crunch" is NOT a corn nut, and it's NOT popcorn. The "perfect crunch" is a distinct texture experience — an ideal balance between two ends of the crunch spectrum. Pop'd KernsTM combines this irresistible crunch with extraordinary flavor to create a one-of-a-kind adventure for salty snack lovers.

New version of MP3 Skype Recorder v.1.10.1 is released
Bugs fixed:
New features:
Many thanks to all users reporting issues and providing great ideas.
If you have any problems with this version please report to this topic.
I used it yesterday on Windows XP. I could hear the person I was talking to, but couldn't hear myself on the recording. How to fix this issue!
Please check this topic http://voipcallrecording.com/Skype-recorder-both-sides-recording
Just installed recorder and works a treat, great way of keeping records of conversations with staff in remote locations
regards Jackson rakeback
For some reason this has not been working for me lately. Whenever i try to start it up it just says "Unhandled exception has occured in your application" and then it doesnt work. I have uninstalled it and restarted my computer many times and i still get the same result.
Could you please click Details button if any, copy-paste the error description and send it to my email.
Usually this error indicates corrupted .NET Framework installation. Updating/reinstalling .NET Framework could help. Could be done from microsoft website.
Is there a way to upgrade from the prior version of MP3 Skype Recorder to the latest one without full installation? I use Windows XP. Thanks, Mark
Why? You will need to add one file, replace another and registry library using command shell. Installer will do everything automatically for you. Just uninstall previous version and install new. All settings most likely to be preserved, anyway there are just few settings.
I've had major problems with Skype Recorder. I need to delete my account and begin fresh. I cannot remove the download from my hard drive. How do I delete my account? I will choose a new sign in name and everything. I need to do this ASAP, please. I am willing to have one of your techs connect with my on skype with the same name as I created this account in. HALP !
I don't understand what account you are talking about? What download are you trying to delete? Please contact me by email - Contacts
I recently got MP3 Skype Recorder to record podcasts over Skype and it seemed to be working fine. I recorded a test, everything worked perfectly and didn't have any issues with playback but then i went to record again and after ending the call found the file size to be 0kb and unplayable. There were no system changes between the test call and the failed recording, in fact, it was still during the same call. I've since tried restarting my computer, reinstalling the program and playing around with compatibility settings but every recording now comes out empty. My system is running Windows 7 64bit, MP3 Skype Recorder 1.10.1 and Skype 184.108.40.206. When i start the recorder it says "Connected to Skype; Recording: Off" in the status bar, upon clicking record it changes to "Recording: ON".
Please check that there are no other recorders along with MP3 Skype recorder (like Parental Skype recorder) as they could compete for audio stream. Check if any personal firewall is blocking connection between Skype and Skype recorder, Skype provides audio stream to recorder through local ports, personal firewall could block it.
I installed 1.10.1 today for first time. Skype allows the program. However, when I click the record button, nothing happens!
FYI - I am taking a class and there are regularly scheduled weekday calls. They use an Acrobat recording system (although I assume that shouldn't matter). I use another recording program to record archives, but I would like to just record live. Also, in answer to the other question about a timer -- I would love to be able to schedule 9:30-10 weekday calls.
This is how I handled it:
1. In SKYPE, go to TOOLS, then OPTIONS, then ADVANCED.
2. Then go to the bottom in center: Manage other programs' access to Skype. You should then see different programs trying to access Skype. I found one I didn't know was trying, so I clicked "Remove" on it.
3. For the MP3, click, "Change", and the click the radio button, "Allow Access". Should do the trick.
I wish there were a timer...
Добрый день!
У меня не запускается эта программа. Уже много раз удаляла и снова загружала.
Если хотите по-русски задать вопрос, то лучше по почте. Проверьте не запущена ли уже программа, она может запускаться в свернутом виде. Посмотрите нет ли иконки в system tray (это в нижнем правом углу обычно). Если там, то дважды ее кликните. Еще бывает как ни банально помогает в таких редких случаях перезагрузка.

Xilinx SDK in standard Eclipse software
The Eclipse IDE is a multi-language software development environment comprising a workspace equipped with lots of whistles and bells for code writing and an extensible plug-in system to develop and debug applications in and with various programming languages. Most programming language plugins offer widgets and wizards to easily hook to language compilers, assemblers, debuggers and etcetera.
Using a single Eclipse setup one can develop and debug applications in multiple languages without the need of switching development environment. This makes Eclipse a popular and widely used software development environment.
Therefore Xilinx has equipped it's Embedded Development Kit (EDK) tools for Microblaze and Zynq with a Software Development Kit (SDK) based on Eclipse.
This means that one already developing software or hardware using the regular Eclipse software distribution needs to switch to the Xilinx specific version of Eclipse, with all risks running two different versions of the same tool, to develop an application for Microblaze or Zynq.
This paper provides a guide and options to include the Xilinx SDK tool setup into a regular version of Eclipse so that the power of Eclipse (develop different applications possibly in different software languages without switching or leaving the development environment) is regained.
Start with a warning: What is described in this paper, methods to implement the Xilinx SDK tools into a regular Eclipse installation, works perfectly but it is not a Xilinx tools supported design flow. Thus when having tool troubles try the designs using the Xilinx SDK toolkit first before contacting Xilinx support. When reporting issues about or with the tools use the Xilinx SDK tools flow. In order to use this paper the most recent version of the Xilinx ISE – EDK/SDK tools and the most recent version of Eclipse must be installed. At the moment of writing these are ISE/Vivado 14.4/2012.4 and Eclipse 4.2.x (Juno).
Eclipse includes Equinox p2, a platform for installing, managing, and updating Eclipse-based applications and extensions. New software installs, updates and or upgrades are normally managed trough the "p2" user interface. One of the additional things "p2" offers is a manual install of plugins in the dropins or custom folder.
Before "p2", installing new plugins was done by many Eclipse users by simply dumping them in the eclipse/plugins/ directory and restarting with the -clean command line argument. There are many drawbacks to this "wild west" approach that will not be discussed here, but suffice it to say that this approach to installation is not at all recommended.
"p2" will help installing, updating and deleting plug-ins. It will also detect plug-ins added to the plugins folder, but alterations to plug-ins installed by p2 in this directory is not supported. If you manually remove a plug-in installed by p2, or attempt to replace with a different version, p2 will not detect it and leave a broken Eclipse installation.
The short rule of thumb is: if something is added manually, remove it manually. If installed via p2, it should be uninstalled via p2. The shorter rule of thumb is: don't mess with the plugins folder. "p2" provides a new dropins folder that is much more powerful and allows separation of content managed by p2 from content managed by other means.
The dropins folder is where plug-ins can be dropped if the p2 user interface is not used. "p2" will also detect extra plug-ins dropped into the dropins directory, and install any discovered bundles into the system. The dropins folder supports a variety of layouts but only one will be discussed here.
If one wants to know the details about equinox-p2 and/or the dropins folder, please consult the Eclipse documentation. A good starting point can be the Eclipse wiki pages (Equinox-p2).
In this case there will only be one set of folders under "dropins".
Xilinx_SDK | |<Eclipse> | |<features> | |<plugins>
Eclipse installation
Assumed is that the Eclipse tools are not installed. The first thing to do is downloading the tools from Eclipse downloads. Eclipse comes in multiple formats, for java develoment, for C/C++ development and etcetera but download the basic version "Eclipse Classic" version. This is the Eclipse version with the absolute minimum of plugins installed from the start. To make the tools work for one or more languages specific plugins must be installed.
After downloading the "Eclipse Classic" version install it. Of course if Eclipse is already installed on your computer it doesn't need to be installed again, just check if the necessary plugins are installed. Go to one of the two described implementation methods.
Xilinx ISE - EDK/SDK
The Xilinx tools installed need to include the XilinX SDK tools. This means that one of following installations are needed: "ISE Design Suite Embedded Edition + Vivado Design Edition", "ISE Design Suite System Edition + Vivado System Edition" or "Software Development Kit – Standalone Edition".
Each of these versions contains the SDK toolkit. For the ISE installations it will be installed as sub-folder of the EDK tools and for the standalone version it can be found directly under the SDK root folder.
First check if non of these plugins are installed:
- C/C++ Develpment Tools (CDT)Remote System Explorere and Target Managment (RSE & TM) - LinuxTools, Gprof Integration. - Cobertura - Simple Logging facade for Java (SLF4J), LogBack - RXTX End-User Runtime
This check can be done by:
- Click the [Help] tab and then in the menu select [About Eclipse SDK]
- In the pop-up box hit the [Installation Detail] button.
- In a new pop-up box all details of the installed Eclipse software are listed under different selectable tabs.
- The first tab [Installed Software] lists what needs to be known.
If none of the listed plugins is installed use "Method One". If one or more of these plugins are installed use "Method Two".
Method one
When you are not developing C\C++ applications, this might be the easiest way to get the Xilinx SDK tools running for you.
- Open a terminal (Linux) or command window (Microsoft).
- Change to the dropins folder of the Classic Eclipse software installation.
- Make a new folder called "Xilinx_SDK", or other name.
- Watch out, it's possible that administrator rights are necessary to do this.
- Copy the "features" and "plugins" folders from the Xilinx SDK Eclipse installation into this newly created folder in the Classic Eclipse folder
By copying both folders entirely all necessary tooling is installed to.
Start Eclipse from the command line using: eclipse -clean and close it immediately after start-up. Start Eclipse normally from the desktop or launcher icon. The Xilinx SDK tools will appear now in the regular Eclipse installation.
Method two
If one of the listed plugins is installed or if one of the listed plugins can be used for development of other applications follow this guide. As written at the start of this document, it is assumed that "Eclipse-Classic" version is installed without any additional plugins than those installed by default.
- Start Eclipse.
- Select [Windows] tab and in the pull-down menu [Preferences].
- A pop-up menu appears.
- Select in the options list [Install/Update] and then in the sub-selection [Available Software Sites].
- Click the [Add] button (From this point the action will need to be repeated for each new software/plugin that needs to be installed).
In the pop-up, add name and location from the listed items below:
C\C++ Development Tool (CDT) | http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/juno |
Remote System Explorer (RSE) | http://download.eclipse.org/tm/updates/3.4/ |
EclipseLink | http://download.eclipse.org/rt/eclipselink/updates/ |
AnyEdits | http://andrei.gmxhome.de/eclipse/ |
If VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog design needs to be done, a possible extra plugin that can be installed is:
Simplyfide IDE | http://simplifide.com/html/updates |
- Click [OK]
Now all software that needs to be installed and updated after installation is provided to the Eclipse tool. Next thing to do is effectively install the software.
Be aware that the selected software is designed for the Eclipse Juno version. Whenever you install plugins/software for an earlier version or newer version of Eclipse be sure to select the proper version of the plugins/software.
- Click the [Help] tab and in the menu select [Install New Software].
- In the new pop-up window select the little down arrow button at the right side of the "Work with" area (left of the [Add] button).
- In the menu list that appears select " - All Available Sites - ".
- In the big window below "Name | Version" all software that can be installed will appear. Select the tools and sub-versions as listed in list 1 below.
- All plugins that can be installed from the standard Eclipse repositories are installed.
- Rest the installation of the Xilinx specific plugin.
- Open a terminal (Linux) or command window (Windows) and change directory to the "dropins" directory of the Eclipse software.
- For next actions administaror right might be needed.
- Create a folder "Xilinx_SDK", or other meaningful name, in this folder create two sub-folders "features" and "plugins".
- Copy the contents of the Xilinx-Eclipse "features" folder into this new "features" folder.
- Copy the files and folders listed in the Xilinx Plugins chapter into the new created "plugins" folder.
- Done.
Start Eclipse from the command line using: eclipse -clean and close it again immediately after startup. Start Eclipse normally from the desktop or launcher icon.
The Xilinx SDK tools will appear now in the regular Eclipse installation. Warning: Know that the whole setup must be maintained by the user.
Meaning that when new Xilinx software is released the plugins copy process, only this process, must be carried out again.

House "flipping," or reselling is a common practice, particularly with the recent financial crisis. Homeowners acquired residences through subprime loans from lending institutions, and when these mortgages reset, they were no longer able to pay their mortgage. Many of these individuals chose home foreclosure, with banks taking possession of these homes—many of which were (or are) in good-to-extremely-good condition.
Home resellers have historically restored a home's former glory before bringing it back onto the market. However, current home resellers have the pick of numerous high quality housing options. After purchasing them for "fire sale prices" at auctions, they can resell them to new homeowners for far less than their previous price, but at a considerable profit. The recent economic downturn has all but ensured that every corner of the country is a necessary market for this type of service.
Look for the following in a house flipping/reselling business plan:
• A strong argument for a particular area or region
• Seasonality in the financials
• How much restoration is required
• Partnerships with construction firms
Masterplans.com possesses considerable expertise in writing house flipping/reselling business plans. Everyone from account experts to project leads to finance, research, writing, and editing understands that house flipping/reselling business plans require attention to detail, an understanding that "all real estate is local," and how seasonality affects sales. Masterplans.com has served more than 8,000 clients. Call today at 877-453-2011, or email firstname.lastname@example.com, to discover how we can help you write the most effective business plan for house reselling.

Masterworks from Budapest. From the Renaissance to the Avant-Garde
From 18 February to 28 May 2017
Henri Fantin-Latour achieved fame through his portraits of fellow artists and intellectuals of the day, as well as family members and patrons. During the last thirty years of his life he left Paris and retired to the country house where his wife had spent her childhood. Here the flowers in the garden became the principal subject of his work. In a methodical manner, Fantin-Latour composed the floral arrangements that he painted against plain backgrounds in his studio. The vases are particularly noteworthy and were sent to him by his London dealer. The artist would choose certain vases to accompany particular flowers, stalks and leaves. In the case of the present painting, Fantin-Latour arranged a large bunch of yellow, white, lilac, pink and red chrysanthemums that occupy the entire pictorial space.
The artist's passion for music has led to the suggestion that these combinations of flowers can be read as studies in harmony.
Henri Fantin-Latour, essentially a Realist painter, comes close to Romanticism in certain aspects, such as the glow that emanates from his paintings. The huge possibilities of flowers as a source of inspiration for his painting and the great refinement he achieved in this genre can be seen in this Vase with Chrysanthemums. It is one of the most exquisite flower paintings that earned Fantin his enormous reputation beginning in 1864, the year he showed them for the first time at the Royal Academy in London. Fantin combines an almost photographic precision in the rendering of each flower with a dramatic glow that gives the picture an unnatural luminosity. The chrysanthemums are arranged in a disorderly but harmonious manner against the dark background and, as Sarah Whitfield points out, this slight sense of unreality conveyed by the painting "is heightened by the treatment of the vase, which all but disappears into the background, leaving the flowers suspended in darkness."
The work has generally been identified as the one featured in the catalogue of Madame Fantin-Latour entitled Flowers and signed and dated 1875, even though neither the size nor the description of the latter match those of the painting in the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection.

Underneath every idiomatic expression there is a row of ten dots. Please rate the expression from 1 to 10 based on how often you have heard or read the expression. If you never have heard or read the expression you would rate it 1. If you hear or read the expression very often then you would score it a high number like a 9 or 10. A score of 5 would mean you hear or read the expression about as often as other expressions.
These days bloggers are a dime a dozen.

Oven-Braised Lamb with Greens: Cutturiedde
- 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 3 to 4-inch cubes
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 rib celery, halved
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 4 sprigs fresh marjoram
- 1 small dried chile pepper
- 1 cup canned drained tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup basic tomato sauce, recipe follows
- 3/4 cup dry red or white wine
- 1 1/2 pounds dandelion or escarole, cut into thick 1/4-inch chiffonade
- 2 bunches Italian parsley, coarsely chopped to yield 1/2 cup
- 1/4 cup slivered caciocavallo or pecorino
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Spanish onion, chopped in 1/4-inch dice
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tablespoon dried
- 1/2 medium carrot, finely shredded
- 2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes, crushed by hand and juices reserved
- Salt
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Season meat with salt and pepper. In a heavy skillet or casserole, over high heat, sear the meat in 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, browning on all sides. Remove meat from the pan and set aside.
Lower heat to medium and gently sweat the sliced onion, celery, bay leaves, garlic, marjoram, and chile pepper in 2 tablespoons of the oil until soft and starting to turn golden. Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce to the pan, season, and let reduce for 5 minutes. Deglaze with wine, add in the lamb pieces, raise the heat to medium, and when the liquid comes to a simmer, cover and cook in the oven for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, add the greens to the pot, setting them directly on top of the meat and its juices. Cover and return to the oven for 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, discard the celery, bay leaves, and chile pepper, and transfer the meat and greens to a serving platter. Top with slivered cheese and serve immediately.
In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the thyme and carrot, and cook 5 minutes more, until the carrot is quite soft. Add the tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until as thick as hot cereal. Season with salt and serve. This sauce holds 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.

By Alson S. Inaba, M.D.
An ordinary man sang for a stranger's life —and saved it by using a simple CPR technique I came up with to help more people save more lives.
Tom Maimone, 52, suddenly collapsed in a driveway in Delray, Fla., in April 2009. Tom Elowson, who came across Maimone's crumpled body, didn't hesitate to get involved. While other bystanders called 9-1-1, Elowson recognized that Maimone was in cardiac arrest, pushed hard and fast on Maimone's chest, and hummed a familiar tune:
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Elowson had learned my technique from watching a demo on a morning news program. Why "Stayin' Alive"? We wanted to get the word out that pushing hard and fast on the center on the chest to the beat of the song the Bee Gees made famous in the 1970s classic movie "Saturday Night Fever" could give a victim of sudden cardiac arrest a fighting chance.
Paramedics arrived a few minutes later, and after a couple of shocks with an AED, Maimone regained consciousness. At the hospital, he received a stent for a blockage in his coronary artery. Soon after, he walked out of the hospital. Maimone says he got a new birthday that day, thanks to the heroic efforts of a stranger. I desperately wish more people knew how easy it is to give people that second chance at life. Watch an animation of a stent.
Cardiac arrest, the abrupt loss of heart function, happens more often than you probably think. If you see someone who is unresponsive and not breathing normally, just calling 9-1-1 and waiting for help isn't enough. By the time paramedics arrive, the chance of survival is often zero. The victim will probably die or only survive with severe brain damage.
The Stayin' Alive CPR technique came to life because I needed a way to emphasize the importance of CPR and early AED use to my students. In a skit, a student suddenly collapsed — then a group of residents sporting dark glasses, gold chains and a boom box blaring "Stayin' Alive" rushed to perform CPR.
I realized the song had at least 100 beats per minute — the same rate the American Heart Association recommends for CPR chest compressions. This could be the perfect teaching tool!
Students practiced on manikins, and before long, they were humming and strutting and releasing their inner John Travolta. After the word started getting out, I was shocked to hear from people from around the world, including Elowson and Maimone. They've proven that you really can save someone's life with immediate bystander Hands-Only CPR. It can double or triple a victim's chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest.
If you're unwilling or unable to do conventional CPR (which involves both chest compressions and rescue breaths), call 9-1-1 and push hard and fast in the center of the victim's chest at a rate of at least 100 compressions a minute. Sing "Stayin' Alive" (or have someone nearby do it) to help you stay on track.
If you have not been trained in conventional CPR, Hands-Only CPR can buy critical time until the paramedics arrive with an AED to shock the victim's heart into its normal rhythm. And it's the reason Tom Maimone is alive.
Remember: You're not going to make things worse by jumping in to help. The victim has already died. You can learn Hands-Only CPR by watching this one-minute video . It's simple. It saves lives. And you can do it. And that's something to sing about.

The X Factor NZ will travel to 27 locations through the county in early 2013 to find contestants for the first local version of the global television phenomenon.
Starting in Queenstown on January 5, and finishing in Kaitaia on Waitangi Day, the pre-audition tour is the first stage of The X Factor NZ process.
Co-executive producer Andrew Szusterman says: "We're looking for the next big recording star.
"If that's you and you're a singer, aged 14 and over as of January 2013, you should be performing at one of our pre-auditions early next year. It's the opportunity of a lifetime, and I encourage you to start preparing now."
Contestants who are successful at the pre-auditions will then perform in front of the four judges and a LIVE audience.
Multi-platinum recording artist Stan Walker, the first judge for The X Factor NZ to be announced, says he's looking forward to seeing what Kiwis have to offer.
"I know New Zealand is full of amazing people and singers that just need a chance to show how great they are," he says.
"I want to encourage anyone who thinks they have what it takes, but is too scared to give it a try, to get up and give it a go. You've got nothing to lose."
TV3 is also delighted to announce Ford New Zealand as the broadcast sponsor of The X Factor NZ, a multi-platform partnership that will celebrate excellence and Kiwi creativity.
The X Factor NZ is a SYCO owned format and will be co-produced by MediaWorks and FremantleMedia Australia. NZ on Air is a minority funder of the show.
* If you are a singer, aged 14 or older as of January 2013, find the audition location nearest to you.
* Visit the TV3 website to download/ print The X Factor NZ application form.
* Fill out the form ready to bring it to your local audition. Make sure you read the full terms and conditions on the website before you enter the auditions.

Hosted by Dominic Bowden, The X Factor NZ is the first local version of the global television phenomenon format, put on the map by music mogul Simon Cowell.
The X Factor has launched numerous internationally successful music careers, including Leona Lewis, Reece Mastin and One Direction. The X Factor artists have globally sold over 100 million records, achieving 250 number ones, 270 Top 10, and 501 Top 50 hit records.
The X Factor NZ is open to singers of aged 14 and up – either solo performers or groups. There is no upper age limit.
Once through the final audition process, the performers are split into categories – Boys under 25, Girls under 25, the over 25s and the Groups. Each judge receives a group to mentor throughout the competition, and the judges compete to be the best mentor and have the winning act.
In 2013, New Zealanders will have the chance to put their singing talents to the test, as The X Factor NZ travels the length and breadth of the country, from Invercargill to Kaitaia, with one goal – to discover the next great New Zealand recording artist, who will sign a recording contract with Sony Music Entertainment New Zealand.

Racing drivers don't die anymore, right? Wrong. They do. Hours after a wonderful second Grand Prix in the southwestern archipelago of South Korea, Dan Wheldon died in an IndyCar. Warning: spoilers.
I had meant this to be a post about the serene beauty of Lewis Hamilton's qualification lap, fast enough to spoil Red Bull's perfect run of pole positions for 2011. McLaren's brooding, troubled child was a rueful Zen master on track, driving with such imperturbable perfection that even Sebastian Vettel couldn't touch him. The same Sebastian Vettel who has been on pole 12 times this year and whose ratio of pole positions to Grands Prix competed in is fast approaching Ayrton Senna's.
I had also meant this to be a post about Sebastian Vettel's newfound dark side, evident since that pass on Fernando Alonso in Monza. He has taken to moving in for the kill with the drive and hunger of someone looking for a first Grand Prix win, going for crucial passes at the very first opportunity, completely unlike how one would imagine someone who'd just won back-to-back titles at a year-end four-race encore. Instead, he's now won his 20th race, giving Red Bull the constructors' championship in the process.
But then Dan Wheldon died in Las Vegas, a guy who'd grown up with Jenson Button in the UK, and Jenson Button is now on track to be Vettel's first serious rival for next year and Dan Wheldon is dead.

5 Reasons All Runners Should Try Hot Yoga
October 20 2016
Don't let the heat of the room intimidate you—runners can reap a lot of benefits from hot yoga. One yogi breaks them down here.
On Women's Running's Twitter this week, we asked you to air your biggest #Runfession. We got some great ones, including my personal favorite:
My biggest #Runfession: I really don't enjoy non-running exercise. For me, running is a passion. Swimming, biking, elliptical. . .not so much.
At the same time, I know how important cross training is—especially following a major race, when your body's in recovery. Although my marathon was a few weeks ago, my legs are still not 100 percent ready to run. To ward off the cross-training doldrums, I decided to mix it up and try new things. Here's how it went. . .
Tony Horton has become a household name for a reason. His workout videos are notoriously tough—and produce some amazing results. Not ready to commit to the 90-day challenge, I dipped my toe into the P90 pool by trying the 60-minute Plyometric workout.
Verdict: I didn't think it was possible for two legs to perform that many squats. It's a lot of jumping. But it was fun to try once! Plus, I made it through the whole workout in my living room without surrendering to the sofa's siren song. Success!
2. Boot Camp
I actually do enjoy the occasional boot camp class. The camaraderie makes me feel like I'm with my running buddies. I haven't done one in a while, so when my coworker Tracy recommended a class she attends, I was in.
Verdict: I showed up expecting a challenge, but I was in way over my head. After 10 minutes of lunges, burpees, jumping rope and running, I whispered to Tracy, "I'm already tired!" She advised, "Pace yourself, girl!" After the full hour, I was way more wiped than post-P90X. The class was hardcore, but 100 percent women—the perfect combo, in my opinion. I told Tracy I'd be back next week.
3. Hot Yoga
Looking for something more restorative, I decided to try out the yoga studio near my apartment. This particular studio offers hot classes of different varieties. I opted for the "Yin & Yang."
Verdict: The Yin section involved full-body exercises like planks and squats, while the Yang balanced things out with challenging stretching. It felt good to work different muscles, and the instructor was patient with newbies like me. But the class confirmed my biggest lesson of the week: just because you can run a marathon, doesn't mean cross training will be easy.
I want to know. What form of cross training do you find most humbling? Let me know here or on Twitter: @JessieSebor.
Today's prize. . .
2 Original Knuckle Lights
Win one of two Original Knuckle Lights for runners. Knuckle Lights were designed with wide flood beams, providing a broad, even stream of light in all directions that moves with the natural motion of your arms. Worth $40, knucklelights.com

It's high time that Google's CEO Eric Schmidt was called to Congress to testify about Google's 'Wi Spy' scandal.
Google Health has taken a big leap forward -- adding a new wellness dashboard that tracks everything from blood pressure to lifestyle aspects like exercise, stress, eating habits, even sleep quality.
Google's mission may be to open the world to information, but it is refusing to let us buy a search advertisement promoting wildly popular online animation that takes CEO Eric Schmidt to task over his statements about privacy issues.
Following a conference call with Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg I can now say that Google, a company that I've long admired and currently hold thousands of dollars of stock in, just "went evil."

After all the hype made about the cover it feels like such a relief to actually get past it and read the April issue of Vogue.
While the article that goes with the cover story is entertaining, the jewel of this issue is undoubtedly "Follow Me" by Jonathan Van Meter, photographed by Mario Testino. It features an editorial with Kate Upton and the article starts out by profiling her career and use of social media but moves into an examination of the use of social media by models and ultimately whether social media hits are currently being translated into actual sales. I loved the twists in this article and the fact that Vogue has taken an interest in letting its readers know about the business side of fashion at least a little bit. The Business of Fashion has clearly shown that there is a market for this information and Vogue is nothing if not adaptive to the needs of the market.
While the length of a few of the profiles was wanting (Mindy Kalling, Skylar Diggins, Audrey Gelman and Virginie Courtin Clarins) the size of the photograph for each article as well as the almost uniform layout created a sensation of deliberateness that is noticeable and appreciated. Stunning!
The editorial "Kicking Back" photographed by Karim Sadli for the now ubiquitous "What to Wear Where" section is surprising. Model Daria Werbowy is usually typecast as either the nonchalant cool girl in Isabel Marant type clothes or else put in extremely minimalist masculine cuts. The series of photographs inarguably has a lot of the latter however this is balanced out by the volume of a few knits as well as two beautiful dresses that have minimalist leanings but extravagant embellishment. The effect of the editorial as a whole is of an entirely more nuanced and complicated femininity than one often sees depicted in one model, one look editorials.
The other editorial is "Ray of Light" photographed by Mikael Jansson featuring Karlie Kloss. It's very airy and cold-water-beachy in feeling and is quite beautiful.
I was surprised to find that two of the front of book articles were my favorite. The Up Front article "Late Or Never?" by Adam Greem brought me on a journey that I already know too well but presented solutions that I hope to try…maybe… one day… And "Headlines and Hemlines" by Janine di Giovanni seemed to be at the intersection of so many of a modern woman's concerns, how to dress, where to live, creating an identity and getting on with it, already to live one's life. The looking back at an inspirational woman and how a modern woman relates to her makes me feel as though the article tells a story that is universally relevant.
Now to the Kimye article. "Keeping Up With Kimye" by Hamish Bowles, photographed by Annie Leibovitz is entertaining and keeps enough of the Kimye ego in the article to be believable. The choice to put Kim in white wedding dresses for the totality of the editorial is brilliant because it is difficult to make a wedding dress look cheap. Vogue had a difficult task in writing about a woman whose life is already exposed. Her legion of fans already know it all and her detractors don't and won't waste any energy on getting to know her. What the article does right is focus on the things that haven't gotten coverage ad-nauseum: North West, Kanye, the wedding, the future. The fact that Kimye have successfully displaced the conversation from reality-tv L.A to fashion capital Paris has helped legitimize their claim to being en Vogue. This has been the conversation put forth for a while: the Lagerfled/Tisci/Kardashian editorial for CR Fashion Book, the makeover, the Tisci dress for the Met Ball, the jaunts to Paris and now the Vogue editorial. This reinvention has only been allowed because of the fashion world's respect for Ricardo Tisci who has been there for every step of the fashion media overhaul (he's featured in the Vogue article too). I hope that Tisci is paid for his tireless work promoting Kimye or at the very least that this is a very real and reciprocal friendship from which he equally benefits. Clearly Wintour is the smartest of them all as the April issue is set to break records.
So how would I rate the April issue of Vogue magazine? I don't think this issue is going to be a collectible issue if only because everybody already has their hands on it. But Vogue does not push the envelope in any of its content, rather it presents a magazine of faultless construction that profiles different women to varying degrees of success: the profiles for the shape issue are great, good, good-ish, boring and too short in turn (though not necessarily in that order). There are two pretty good editorials and the "Index" pages are short but effective and extremely shopable. As I've said before the reasons to buy this issue are the social media/Kate Upton article and the Nostalgia and Up Front pieces. I particularly liked the content of the Flash section but did not connect to the Last Look or its write-up. I give this magazine a very solid 3.9 stars/5. Depending on your degree of love for Kimye or undying support for Vogue buy it while supplies last !?! Or, you know, just pop over to the website for the free content.

The following is a statement from the office of Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori concerning the Superior Court ruling in Fresno County, California.
The Presiding Bishop's Office announced that on July 21, 2009, the Superior Court of Fresno County, California issued an order resolving most of the legal issues in litigation involving the identity and property of the Diocese of San Joaquin. The court ruled in favor of the Church and the Diocese on all issues that had been presented to it. In its opinion, the court sustained the position of the Church and the Diocese that Bishop Jerry Lamb is the Bishop of the Diocese and the officeholder in the Diocesan corporations, and that former Bishop John-David Schofield is no longer the Bishop and has no claim to any of the corporate offices.
In reaching this conclusion, the court found that there is no question that The Episcopal Church is a hierarchical church, of which the Diocese is an integral part. It also held that The Episcopal Church's rules did not permit the Diocese to revoke its accession to the Church's Constitution and canons or to join a different denomination. Finally, the Court ruled that the continuing Diocese of San Joaquin is "not a new organization" created after former Bishop Schofield attempted to remove the Diocese from the Church, but that the Diocese "is the older organization from which (Schofield and the other) defendants removed themselves."
The motion for summary adjudication was briefed and argued for the Church by Goodwin Procter, the law firm of the Presiding Bishop's Chancellor, with Heather Anderson and Adam Chud taking the lead in assisting the Diocese and its Chancellor and counsel, Michael Glass.
The Superior Court's decision is the first involving a dispute over the property of a diocese of The Episcopal Church, and is expected to be helpful in cases involving other dioceses.

Fascinating and imaginative. The Company of Wolves directed by Neil Jordan (Crying Game Interview with a Vampire) brings together the timeless Little Red Riding Hood and werewolf fables with a haunting compelling eerie and erotic difference.This movie is a magical bag of symbolic folklore about werewolves or rather their sexual connotation. Grandmother Angela Lansbury tells her granddaughter Sarah Patterson disturbing tales about innocent maidens falling in love with handsome heavily eyebrowed strangers that have a smouldering look in their eyes. She also tells of her sudden disappearances of spouses when the moon is round and the wolves are howling in the woods.Nominated for four BAFTA awards including Best Costume Design Best Make-up Artist Best Production and Best Special Visual Effects the movie is a visual feast with timeless appeal..
