There is something wonderful about being able to utter the sentence, "Honey, I think I'm ready to head back to the mansion." And now, thanks to innkeepers Gary and Julie Klarenbeek, the owners of Fountainview Mansion, you may find yourself saying that very thing the next time you visit Auburn, Alabama.
Being Auburn grads, my husband and I were surprised to hear of this luxurious accommodation and excited to check it out in person. We were not disappointed.
We arrived at night, and after a little confusion about where to turn, we saw the Fountainview up ahead on a hill. The curved driveway circles an elaborate fountain (hence the name) and makes for a dramatic first impression. Before we could even turn the ignition off, the front door opened and Gary hurried down the steps to meet us. He helped us with our bags and said hello to our son. (Fountainview Mansion allows well-behaved children! This is a rarity in the bed-and-breakfast world.) We were conducted into the grand foyer: high ceilings, gilded mirrors, and a grand staircase made for a fabulous first impression of the stately home. Gary quickly led us through a beautiful drawing room with an antique piano, oil paintings, and a rococo grandfather clock. We followed him through the kitchen to a comfortable sitting room, where the masculine materials and rich colors made it seem like the perfect place to curl up with a good book. He invited us to make ourselves at home and explained that he and his wife lived on the property, so if we needed anything, they were only a few minutes away.
Needless to say, it was much more than we had expected and much nicer than any hotel in the area.
Our room had a lovely king-size bed with hand-carved walnut head- and footboards. An oil painting of a fox hunt and finishes of burgundy and gold lent a masculine touch to the room. An extremely large bathroom and walk-in closet were both around the corner from the bed, and a fully stocked mini-refrigerator was tucked underneath built-in bookcases and a work desk. Needless to say, it was much more than we had expected and much nicer than any hotel in the area. As we unpacked our bags, Gary brought up an inflatable bed for our son and freshly baked brownies for dessert.
The next morning we awoke to the smell of bacon (does it get any better than that?) and coffee. Julie, Gary's better half as he calls her, was busy preparing breakfast for the guests in the kitchen. We found the dining room fireplace roaring, the candelabras lit, and fresh flowers and a buffet of scrambled eggs, bacon, and French toast waiting for us. As we sat down at the table, she brought us juice, coffee, and yogurt parfaits. At the other end of the table was a family of golfers, in town to play a few of the courses.
As the day began to end, we packed up to head back home to the beach. Before we left, Julie was kind enough to walk us around and give us a peek at a few of the other rooms. Each was gorgeous and incredibly different from the last, but the bridal suite was the most impressive of all. In fact, to call it a suite is a bit of a misnomer; it is grand in scale. The mansion has become a popular wedding destination. With its terraced gardens, fountains, and beautiful swimming pool, the "backyard" is positively dreamy at night when combined with candles and a tent.
We were sad to leave (I was especially so) but hope to return again soon. Fountainview Mansion would be perfect for a relaxing girls' getaway trip. And with the quick three-hour drive from our home here on Florida's Scenic Highway 30-A, it makes for a weekend escape like no other.
When you arrive at Fountainview Mansion, get ready to experience that famous Southern hospitality you've always heard about.


Sergey, have you been trading Forex for long?
I've been trading Forex for three years now. For around two years I researched brokers to check the quality of the skills they provide. I travelled from city to city, saw how the managers work and how clients are trained. I paid attention to many factors which could impact on the choice of broker.
What do you do for a living? Is trading your main work?
Before Forex becomes the main source of income for me I need to prepare for it to become so. In particular, in a month I plan to open a PAMM Account.
Why did you decide to take part in the contest? Did it distract you from your other trades?
I take part in contests often and have already come first place before. I always study the contest stats. As a general rule, 9 out of 10 contest participants end down. So trading as part of contests requires additional concentration.
Tell us a little about your trading approach. How do you analyse the market, which indicators do you use, do you read additional analysis?
Thinking about how I could achieve good trading results, I developed a strategy focussed on high returns (and with the corresponding high risks). I now receive a stable income of from 5% per week, withdrawing the percentage every Friday. I read the analyses provided by Alpari and other brokers. I use the economic calendars and make trading forecasts for the day and for the week.
Do you prefer trading or do you have good experiences in investing too?
The most important thing for me is a stable income. Before 2009 I was successfully investing in blue chip companies on the stock market. I listened to all of the analysts, believed in the government when they said they wouldn't allow Sberbank shares to tumble. In the end my broker went bankrupt. Now I only believe in number one.
What helps you take your mind off trading and replenish your energy?
There are a few rules in trading Forex that I stick to. One of them is that you shouldn't sit all day behind the computer. Speaking with interesting people, sport, relaxing out in nature (especially fishing) all really help to get away from trading.
The new round is starting soon, get a move on to get yourself registered and, maybe, surpass Sergey's result.


There are many signs that can alert a homeowner they need Dishwasher Repair. The average dishwasher will last around ten years before it needs to be replaced. Knowing the warning signs of dishwasher problems will allow a homeowner to know when to seek a repair technician. If any of these signs are noticed, a homeowner needs to make sure they call a professional right away, so their dishwasher does not continue to break down.
If a homeowner notices their dishwasher is no longer working as it once did, it may be time to call in a repair technician for help. Properly identifying the cause of the problem and repairing the issues will help a homeowner to avoid further headaches with their dishwasher.
Water is being left behind after a cycle. If the water is not draining properly, this is a sign of a clog or drainage issue. Having the dishwasher checked by a repair technician will allow for proper repairs to be carried out.
Leaking water should never be ignored. A leaking dishwasher can leave behind a great mess that can be difficult to deal with. Leaks can lead to home damage and should never be ignored.
If the door is not locking in place, the dishwasher will not work properly. A broken door latch can be repaired or replaced with the help of a professional.
The dishes are not hot after the cycle has run. When a dishwasher is operating properly, the dishes should be steaming hot when they come out. A lack of heat means the dishes will not be properly sanitized.
The dishes are remaining dirty after a full cycle. Outside of overfilling the machine, dirty dishes after a cycle may be caused by problems in operation. Prompt repairs are essential.
If you have noticed any of the above signs, it is important to seek the help of a professional repair technician right away. With proper repairs, your dishwasher will be able to continue properly washing your dishes and helping you in the kitchen. Call today for your service call.

NFL News: Receiver Calls Out Dallas Cowboys For Asking Him To Take Pay Cut After Horrific Leg Injury
It took a mere two days for the former Cowboy to find a new home in the NFL.
Wesley Hitt / Getty Images
Training camp has just started for the majority of the teams in the NFL after a long offseason which included free agency, the draft, and so much more. Numerous players are in different locations with new teammates and roles, but not all business was done in a timely fashion. Allen Hurns has only just been released and signed with a new team, but he's called out the Dallas Cowboys for dragging their feet and treating him poorly.
By this time of year, virtually all players have found their homes for the next season and are prepared to get ready for the preseason. Allen Hurns thought he was going to be suiting up for the Cowboys again in 2019 and making $5 million, but now he's with the Miami Dolphins and making $3 million.
All of that changed in the course of a mere week, and it's hard to believe, but the Cowboys are to blame for that whole situation.
In the 2019 playoffs, Hurns suffered a leg injury against the Seattle Seahawks, and it was incredibly bad. Still, he has made a tremendous recovery and is ready to play, and he thought he'd do that with Dallas who had picked up his option for 2019.
An option that wasn't guaranteed and ended up being backtracked on by the organization. Not only did they not want to pay Hurns the $5 million, but they asked him to take a pay cut and the request came just a few days before training camp started.
Just spoke with #Cowboys WR Allen Hurns on today's release. He's understandably disappointed saying "I'm good. Just wished they did this earlier, they asked me for a pay cut Monday. Couple days before camp."

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on Twitter that the Cowboys wanted the receiver back at a lower price, but he wanted to "test the market." It would have been one thing for the team to ask him to take a pay cut earlier in the offseason, but they waited until very late with the hope that he would have no other options but to accept it.
Hurns may have had only 20 receptions for 295 yards and two touchdowns last season, but he's proven himself in the past and has fully healed from the gruesome injury.

Even though it is very late in the offseason and little more than a month before the regular season starts, Hurns wasn't willing to take the pay cut. At least, he wasn't willing to take the pay cut to stay with the Dallas Cowboys who he feels disrespected him and his talent.
CBS Sports reported that Hurns signed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins and has moved on from his lone season in Dallas. His ankle has completely healed up, and he's ready to prove that he's worth more money and more respect than the Cowboys showed him.

This is not to say that no one profits from these journals. The conglomerates who publish science journals, such as Elsevier, happen to enjoy quite comfortable margins as they charge libraries thousands of dollars for subscriptions that the libraries fear they cannot do without. See for example: "Academic Publishers Make Murdoch Look Like a Socialist," The Guardian. Frustration with that model is leading some faculty to advocate open-source publishing on the Internet, which is gaining steam, but established journals continue to enjoy advantages of prestige and reputation.


What If The Wrong Income Is Reported To The Long Term Disability Insurer?
What happens if an employer reports the wrong income to the long term disability insurer and my benefit amount is affected?
The amount of your disability benefit is dictated by the terms of an insurance Policy and as such there can be various ways that number is calculated or decided. However, generally your benefit is tied to your income level. Most often it is your employer that is responsible for updating your income information to the disability insurer. The premiums required from the insurer increase along with your increase in salary. If your employer has neglected to update this information and your insurer is using a lower income amount, you have a viable claim in negligence against your employer for the shortfall.
How does my salary affect my long-term disability claim?

Over the years, some very big things have happened professionally for friends and colleagues of mine – 'pop the bubbly and share a toast' types of milestones.
Yet when these people shared their great news with others they count as friends, the overall response was a bit lackluster. Perhaps the word congratulations never appeared on their friends' vocabulary tests in middle school?
On the occasions I observed the lack of enthusiasm for their good fortune, it didn't strike me as jealousy on the part of the others hearing the news, but rather apathy. If whatever good wasn't happening to them, they just couldn't get excited at all.
As you grow and become more successful, others will sometimes find a way to excuse your success as something else. These write-offs aren't always blatant misgivings about the circumstances that got you to where you are. They often come in the form of pretending that what should be a big deal is really not a big deal at all.
Ignore these brush-offs and celebrate your journey's milestones anyway, with or without those people. Your successes are a big deal and you deserve the glass of champagne.

If you don't meet all the qualifications, a cover letter can help explain gaps or perceived deficiencies in your skills or work history. For example, if the job description states two years of work experience is required and you're new to the workforce, your cover letter can explain how your other qualifications can address this gap. For instance, serving in leadership for student organizations is relevant experience that a hiring manager may consider when reviewing your application.
Be articulate. Speak cohesively about the unique value you bring to the company. Being inarticulate or lacking confidence will cause you to fade into the background of the many other candidates interviewing for your position. If you are unable to demonstrate why the hiring manager should hire you over other candidates they are meeting with, chances are you will not be selected. Be sure to understand the value you bring to the organization.
Dress a step above the company's day to day culture when interviewing. For example, if business casual is the norm for the company you interview with, wear a suit or a nice shirt and tie. Regardless of the job you're applying for, it's never appropriate to show up in jeans and tennis shoes.
Present yourself appropriately for your role. Because each job position is different, consider which aspects of your personality and skillsets would be most valuable to focus on. For example, if interviewing for an HR position, it's valuable to focus on showing empathy and ability to relate to people. In contrast, if you were interviewing for a sales position, it would be wise to focus on your ability to persuade and be convincing.
Conversely, be sure to not screen yourself out of the role. For example, if interviewing for a managerial role, don't discuss how much you dislike confrontation as it is likely to be a part of the job. In the interview, it is your job to paint a picture for the hiring manager of you being able to do the job, so all your answers should reflect this.
Show a track record of success. Everyone has accomplishments that need to be conveyed to an employer during the interview process. Even if you don't have a lot of work history under your belt, you may use examples about volunteer experience, academic accomplishments, and other instances that show how you provide value.
Companies are constantly evolving and the same applies for jobs. Over your career, you'll often be called to take on tasks that weren't initially part of your job description. Instead of running from these opportunities, embrace and learn from them.
One example in our company is Elvin Croswhite, our Director of Client Services. He started at an entry-level position without any industry experience. Due to his ability to work hard and learn new things that met our company's changing needs, he worked his way up the ranks quickly in only a few years. In fact, because of his tenacity and focus, he's helped develop many departments. Like Elvin, your willingness to act and do whatever it takes to get the job done will create significant opportunities for you down the road.
Regardless of the level of talent new hires brings to an organization, their careers will eventually stall without humility. When you enter the workforce, you'll be required to learn new things quickly - there will be many days where it will feel like drinking from a fire hose. Without humility, you will be unable to adapt and meet the needs of your company. Try not to take yourself so seriously that you become difficult to be around. It's selfish to think that we can do everything ourselves, so be sure to learn from others whenever possible.
Developing humility early on will help you learn from both your accomplishments and your mistakes. Developing this self-awareness will help you make the right moves early on in your career!

Social Activism and Employees: Where Walmart Got It Right
September 10, 2019 September 10, 2019 Employee Engagement
View all posts by Natalie Smith
Should companies take a public stand on social issues?
That's a good question. Conventional wisdom says companies should think long and hard before putting a stake in the ground on controversial issues. Whatever side you land on, you're likely to make a large percentage of your customer base extremely happy – and an equal percentage extremely unhappy. Chick-fil-A (a client), Nike and Airbnb, among others, have experienced the sales and reputational impact that comes with taking a public stand on a divisive issue.
Consumer response, of course, is important. But what about employee response? After all, your employees can be your biggest ambassadors – or your most vocal detractors. And, recent studies indicate that today's employees place a high priority on working for an organization whose values align with their own and that demonstrates its commitment to addressing societal issues.
Over the last several years, Walmart has found itself in the crosshairs of the gun control debate. The company, whose retail stores historically have sold firearms and ammunition, attracts a broad spectrum of customers with a wide range of opinions about gun safety and First Amendment rights. As the nation's largest private employer, Walmart also is home to more than a million associates whose opinions are likely as varied as its customers.
The issue came to a head for associates on August 3, when a gunman shot and killed 22 people and wounded 24 others at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. The tragedy occurred just a few days after a Walmart associate killed two other associates in a store in Southaven, Mississippi.
Associates were understandably rattled. Some organized walkouts in protest of Walmart's firearms sales and policies, saying they no longer wanted to be complicit in gun sales. Others remained silent.
With an employee base as large and diverse as Walmart's is, communicating potentially divisive changes is a Herculean task. Click To Tweet
On September 3, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon sent a memo to associates announcing changes to the sale of firearms and ammunition in retail stores, along with other steps that signal a much more public stance in the gun control debate. With an employee base as large and diverse as Walmart's is, communicating potentially divisive changes is a Herculean task. Here's how McMillon nails this challenging communication:
Outlines the decision process. Whether they agree with a decision or not, employees want to know that the decision-making process was thoughtful and fair. The memo reinforced the immediate priorities in the aftermath of the shootings, stated that the current situation is unacceptable and reiterated previous company actions in a way that illustrated the new actions as a logical progression.
Acknowledges opposing viewpoints. The "inconvenience" to some customers is tempered by an increased focus on the needs of hunting and sport shooting enthusiasts. There's no right or wrong implied in opposing viewpoints, but instead an attempt to balance the needs of associates and customers on both sides of the debate.
Shares probable impact. When product lines are removed, market share is impacted. The memo provides a transparent view of what that is likely to mean for the company, eliminating uneducated guesses and rumors.
Helps associates to help customers. Walmart's "respectful request" of customers to no longer openly carry firearms in its stores is a challenging one for associates, since they are the face of the company. The memo offers context for the decision, along with a promise to provide guidance on talking with customers about the new policy.
Puts a stake in the ground. McMillon makes a bold commitment on behalf of the organization to actively seek to engage in the debate at a national level. He provides context for this step forward and the company's upcoming involvement in the national conversation about responsible gun sales. Whether associates agree or disagree, there is no lack of clarity about the company's stance.
Shares a personal connection. Walmart's heritage as a friend to hunters and sportsmen is mentioned several times and will help to reinforce the We're the same great company we always have been message. McMillon further builds trust with associates by sharing his own history as a hunter and gun owner.
Gun control vs. First Amendment rights is an issue that isn't going away any time soon. Given its size and reach, Walmart will be closely watched in the days and months ahead – especially by its associates.

It was appropriate that the issue of government domestic spying was raised at the recent funeral of Mrs. Coretta Scott King. Martin Luther King Jr. and his family were victims of a vicious domestic spying program instigated by the federal government.
The parallels with today's domestic spy program are almost exact. It was done in the name of national security. It was authorized by the president, John F. Kennedy, and the attorney general, Robert Kennedy, and carried out by the FBI. There was a war on — in that case, the Vietnam War as well as the Cold War. It was kept secret from the public.
The FBI not only tapped King's telephones but also planted bugs in places where he was staying. One tape, which allegedly implicated King in an extramarital affair, was sent to Mrs. King.
Now think about this. Here is the federal government secretly spying on an American citizen and trying to break up his family and disrupt the civil-rights movement. And this was not done by some right-wing fanatic, but by two bona fide liberals, the Kennedy brothers.
The current president says he has authorized domestic spying without warrants only on those connected to terrorists, but he refuses to provide even Congress with enough information for his claim to be verified. As you can see from the King affair, even people with good intentions can abuse government power in the heated atmosphere of war. We don't know who is being spied upon. We would not even know spying was going on but for a whistle-blower who tipped off The New York Times, which sat on the story for a year before finding the courage to publish it.
That every tyrant who ever lived rationalized his abuse of power by claiming to be protecting the people or the empire or the country is kindergarten basic civics. We should know better at this point in our history. We are a nation of laws, not an empire and not a monarchy. Our Constitution deliberately created a weak chief executive.
The president, for example, is not our commander in chief. He's the commander in chief of the armed forces. As far as we civilians are concerned, he is just the administrator of laws passed by Congress. He cannot make laws. He cannot assume powers not given to him by the Constitution or by Congress. He must obey all the laws just the same as you and me.
A problem for many Americans is that they have never lived in the free republic created by our forefathers. We became a war state during World War II, and the Cold War was used as an excuse to maintain a war state and to expand it. We are spending more on defense than most of the rest of the world combined at a time when the only threats we face are isolated attacks by a loosely organized band of criminals. The government in Washington has become as secretive as the old Soviet Union.
Too many Americans are willing to let demagoguery scare them into writing a blank check to any politician who claims he will protect them from the boogeyman. I, for one, will never surrender this free republic, no matter how many enemies, real or imagined, are at the gates. What would be the point? Our ancestors fought for freedom and independence, not for a dictatorship. You can't be free if you give the president unlimited powers to violate both the laws and the Constitution.
The tension between a government of law and a government of men runs throughout American history. What worries me is that while there seems to be constituencies for every special interest in the world, there is little or no constituency for liberty and the rule of law.
I would like to see all Americans send the president a simple message: "With all due respect, sir, obey the damned laws or resign. Both the law and the Constitution require warrants for domestic spying. Get them. Both the law and the Constitution require that Congress exercise oversight. Cooperate with Congress. You are a public servant, not a God-anointed ruler of a kingdom."


Tea -cha- wasn't originally called cha, it was shu and jia. According to legend, it was discovered when China's mythical first emperor Shennong "tasted all kinds of herbs" and was thus initially used as a medicine. After a long process of evolution, and improvement and refinement by many people, the tea we know today eventually came into being. China's tea culture began to develop in the Tang Dynasty and during this period Lu Yu's "Cha Jing" and Chan Zong's "Chi Cha Qu"(Gone to drink tea) novel were written Chinese tea also crossed the sea to Japan, laying the foundation for the Japanese tea way that was to develop.
In ancient times Shennong tasted numerous herbs to find which could help mankind and, in the process, he was even poisoned many times in one day. However, he ate tea leaves so was saved. Although this is a legend, however, it tells us that people first began using tea as a medicine. It was only drunk like today starting in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that "Tea drinking began in the Tang dynasty and became very popular in the Song Dynasty."In the 4-5th Century Chinese tea arrived in Korea (Koryo).
In the reign of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty knowledge of Chinese tea culture began to spread through Europe. During the reign of the Wanli Emperor it arrived in Tsarist Russia. In the reign of Chongzhen also in the Ming Dynasty, Captain Waites, from Great Britain, sailed all the way to China specially to buy tea. By the reign of the Qing Shunzhi Emperor Chinese tea had reached what is now Germany.
At the end of the 19th Century tea leaves, tea trees and tea varieties arrived in Indonesia, India, Ceylon, Uganda and Malaysia and other countries. The flower of China's ancient tea culture could be said to have bloomed all over, displaying a special Chinese cultural elegance in most corners of the world.
Today tea has become a daily necessity for people all over, giving rise to the saying "After a day without tea you feel lethargic, after three days you become ill." From its invention to use tea has a long history. It is so popular because it make a pleasant drink and also because it is healthy and has certain curative properties.

I can't wait until the Christmas holidays. I'll have a chance to work on projects I've put on hold to make time for paid work. A chance to breathe. A chance to do nothing. Some serious me time, inside my warm house, watching a movie while wrapped in blankets. Lazy maple bacon every day, hermitizing. I may even decide to go home and visit people I always mean to see when I'm in Toronto, but never have a chance to.
I'm busy with side-work until the new year, and currently not accepting new work. On the social end, I've come to a point where I'm not only booked, but double-booked, and find myself having to prioritize plans and decide what I'd rather do. It's been great for keeping my brain busy, and whereas I'd normally feel overstimulated, I'm now reveling in all these awesome experiences and people I get to meet.
This doesn't feel like a transition phase, as the transition, or whatever the hell it is, already happened weeks ago. I was at fork in the road, and now that I've taken the first steps, I find myself on a one-way path through a tunnel without any exits, wondering what's on the other end.
Updated tastes for 2008. Many items from my 2006 and 2007 lists are crossed out, which is why categories like "furniture" aren't smaller now.
I've been told that I'm notoriously hard to shop for. Not only am I extremely picky, I have esoteric (and expensive) tastes, and I usually buy — and so, have — the things that I want. This year, I realized that good gifts are things people want, but which they don't buy for themselves because they can't justify the cost. It doesn't have to be lavish, but maybe a little overpriced, something you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself.
Canon EOS 5D Mark II (about $2800) — Yep. This is the big one. I had the Mark I on my list back in 2006. This one is full frame, does dust cleaning, and records video now. Even though I have a camcorder already, I want this for low-light and low depth-of-field work that consumer camcorders simply can't provide.
Tea Forté Morehouse glass ($25) — A double-walled glass that can be used to keep tea warm (or iced tea cold). Made with a cover for the leaf on Tea Forté pyramid bags to stick out. No condensation means no coaster needed. Love the design and functionality.
Tea Forté tea trays (×2) ($7) — For holding individual tea tags. Comes in sets of two with four colour choices, but I like bone white.
Bodum Assam 1.5L teapot ($50) — My previous, smaller Assam teapot broke (rather easily) as I was cleaning out the filter. I can't give up my love of Bodum products though. I already have tea makers for single servings, but I don't have a pot for when I have guests over.
Oxo Candela Flare (set of eight) ($130) — I'd put these on the banister that separates my hallway from the stairs. It's pretty bland right now.
B2C Expandable Dining Table ($699) — To replace the cheap, scratched-up dining table I have in my kitchen now. Frosted glass? More like frosted sexiness.
Tenori-On ($1200) — I've been waiting for this to be available in Canada for more than a year, and it's finally come. I've always wanted to get into music as another medium of creativity. I come from a musical background (as opposed to visual arts), but the Tenori-On combines both, in a simple, easy-to-use interface.
Aromatherapy Car Diffuser ($16) — For keeping the car fresh, with refillable scent pads.
Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard ($80) — I'm hoping the next MacWorld Expo will announce an update, not a discontinuation, to the Mac Mini, which I'd get for a home theatre system (my TV is soon to be disconnected because I don't use it enough). If this holds to be true, I'd have to buy a keyboard, which I could already use now.
MicroFly Tiny R/C Hovering UFO ($20) — Small and easy-to-fly. Something I'd use to play with Dolly.
Colibri Throttle Silver Plaid Lighter ($60) — Much to my dismay, the electro-quartz trigger on my old Colibri died. It was one Christie gave me for my birthday, with my name engraved on it. I've been looking for a lighter ever since, and this is the first one I've ever really considered. I'm super-picky about lighter design.
Auto LED ($25) — Plugs into the cigarette lighter of the car, and glows blue (which would match the meters of my car). Pull it out, and it becomes a handy-dandy flashlight.
Rez ($20) — One of the most underrated and genre-busting games of the PS2.
Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition ($20) — DMC has always been one of those series I hear about, but never got a chance to try. The special edition adds gameplay and fixes various issues.
Metal Slug Anthology ($20) — I love the arcady feel of Metal Slug. Something you can turn on, and play with your brain off. The entire series in one game? Yes, please.
A look into my current tastes, updated for 2007. This list is somewhat shorter than last years because the ones I haven't checked off still apply, and I've been guilty of some spending this month; The first two seasons of Robson Arms on DVD (which I desperately waited two years for), season six of Trailer Park Boys, my mittens, a RAZR 2 (the cell phone I've had for five years died), an electric toothbrush, and various gifts.
Bogen / Manfrotto Background Support System 314 ($280) — To quickly set up different coloured backgrounds in my photography room.
Bought it on sale, which was still $260.
Arca-Swiss Monoball Z1 Ballhead ($475) — My current tripod isn't strong enough to hold most of my lenses in place, and the locking mechanism is extremely chintzy. Very frustrating when working with dark shots. A ballhead would give me tremendous flexibility.
Gitzo GT3530LSV Mountaineer 6x Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs ($625) — Carbon fiber tubing makes for an extremely light and portable set of tripod legs. Packed with all the important little features like an anti-leg rotation system, the Gitzo leg locking system, and removable rubber feet.
Rubix Cube Ottoman ($129) — A black, two-toned square ottoman to go with my leather couch.
Bodum Assam 2-Cup Tea Press ($25) — I have one of these at home, but it would be great to have one at work too, so I can make more than one cup of tea at a time.
Julie bought me a Stokes gourmet Formosa tea infuser for Christmas 2008. A little chamber for loose leaves dangles from the top, as opposed to a press, which can create bitterness in tea.
Braun Impression WK 600 Kettle ($90) — A large kettle for my tea. Right now, I have to boil water in two cup intervals, which takes a while when guests are over.
Andrew and Alex bought me a similar model for my birthday, and it's SWEET.
Tingler Head Massager ($15) — On Jason's recommendation on my recent post about manual stimulation. The reviews say that it helps put you to sleep, and that can never be a bad thing.
Found a cheep one at Zone for five dollars! Doesn't vibrate or anything but still pretty good. Next is finding someone to use it on me.
Orange Box ($50) — A nostalgic trip back to the days of my favourite game ever: Team Fortress Classic for Half-Life. I hear the gameplay has changed a lot, but I don't care. We'll probably be playing this at the next LAN.
Odin Sphere ($40) — A side-scrolling fantasy RPG for the PS2 that I don't want to miss.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OVA ($52) — My favourite anime of all time: a combination of fascinating universe, and very intelligent action. I currently have a copy in Japanese with French subtitles. While this helps me learn more French, I also don't understand much the phrases.
Found a copy of this for download.
Reno 911 seasons 2-5 ($90) — An hilarious, original look at law enforcement. Trailer Park Boys from the other side of the law. I have the first season (thank you Music World for going out of business and giving me 20% off), but I'd love to get the rest, along with the movie.
Bought all of these on a lark. Did not regret the decision.

Q: Android modbus library Hi I must create an android app that sends modbus messages. However, I could not find a library for android that uses bluetooth as a transport layer. Does it exists?

A: Well I'm not sure this question is still valid or not.
Normally, when people try to send Modbus message from android smartphone, they use either wireless or the USB port.
For wireless, you can just send a normal Modbus TCP message or Modbus Serial message encapsulated in TCP data packet.
For USB port, you will need to get a special USB to RS232 converter for smartphone.

Never heard of any Modbus Application uses bluetooth to send Modbus message.
This is not really a good choice.

IRACDA Scholar: Taylor Schoberle, Ph.D.
Taylor Schoberle's current research focuses on the Type III Secretion system in Yersinia pestis, the etiological agent of the Plague. Y. pestis, as well as numerous other gram negative bacteria, utilize a Type III Secretion system to combat immune cells when invading a host. Upon induction, assembly of this Type III Secretion system commences to form a hollow needle-like complex of proteins. This needle complex is responsible for injecting effector proteins (Yops) into host cells. Once inside host cells, these Yops interfere with multiple cell functions to deter an immune response against invading bacteria. Taylor began her training in the biological sciences at Southwestern University, where she earned a B.A. in Biology with a minor in French. She moved on to MD Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in Houston to earn an M.A. in Molecular Biology and Genes and Development, followed by a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences. Although her graduate research focused on toxin production in Aspergillus fumigatus, a filamentous fungus, she has successfully carried her lab techniques and knowledge into her current post doctoral position as a NY-CAPS scholar in Dr. James Bliska's lab at Stony Brook University.
I chose to join IRACDA NY-CAPS for two reasons. Firstly, I joined the program to gain valuable experience in teaching and mentoring. I appreciate the fact that our program works with three different undergraduate institutions, which not only gives us a choice on placement, but allows us the chance to experience unique environments in the classroom. Secondly, I joined the program to benefit from bringing my own money to the lab. This opportunity gave me the chance to work in the lab of my choice and will also be a welcome addition to my CV for future job opportunities.

The Glacial Speed performs Saturday, June 9 at the Milwaukee Record Stage.
The Glacial Speed formed in 2014 in Milwaukee, when singer/guitarist Ashley Altadonna, and bassist, Mike Carey, began collaborating after nearly a decade hiatus from their former band, New Blind Nationals.
During that hiatus, Altadonna transitioned her gender identity from male to female.
They eventually brought on drummer Emily Agustin (The Maybenauts) and guitarist/keyboardist, Christopher Van Gompel (IfIhadaHifi) to round out their line-up. They began playing shows around the Midwest the following summer.
Their first EP, "New Wilderness" was released at the beginning of 2017. That May they contributed the song "Forgone Conclusion" to "UNPRESIDENTED: DIY vs. Donald Trump" protest compilation. Their second EP, "Between the Lines" is scheduled to be released sometime in summer of 2018.
Musically, The Glacial Speed combines elements of indie rock, folk, and noise rock to create a sound all their own.
