From the vast unspoilt northern wilderness of Canada and Alaska, where snow-capped peaks, awe-inspiring glaciers and an astonishing assorted range of wildlife can be discovered, to its southern reaches of Brazil and Peru, rich in tradition, dramatic landscapes and intriguing ruins, luxury Americas holidays offer the discerning traveller a myriad of inspirational touring options.
Our personal experiences and insight have gone into bringing you the very best of The Americas, whether you're travelling as a family, a couple; to a city, a beach resort, or something else entirely.
If you love luxury holidays, you're sure to find it with the Inspiring Travel Company in The Americas; from funky short breaks in some of the most fashionable resorts and hotels, to family luxury favourites, through to south American adventures - and whether you're looking to relax, see the sights, hit the tables, shop (or dance) 'til you drop, then we have it here.
Luxury holiday options through South and North America abound; from the rich, cultural experience of venturing to Machu Picchu in Peru to the grizzly bears and ancient forests of Canada. But if a holiday with less adventure and more modern amenities is more your style, then the cities of this diverse continent are sure to inspire your American luxury break.
In Canada, the world's second largest country, a trip to the vibrant city of Vancouver should be on every traveller's list of places to see. In the diverse United States of America you can combine a tour of beaches and theme parks with the bright lights of the city and awe-inspiring landscapes.
Much further south and into Brazil you'll discover a cultural melting pot of established traditions throughout a kaleidoscope of contrasting landscapes. Neighbouring Argentina is an extraordinary country, surrounded by the Andes to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, while in Chile you'll be wowed by its unique and intriguing heritage sites. From the lost city of the Incas, Machu Picchu, to the colonial treasure of Cuzco and breathtaking landscapes of the Colca Canyon, spectacular site after spectacular site abounds in Peru. Then finally, to complete your luxurious journeys through the Americas, take a cruise to the Galapagos Islands which will certainly tick a number of sights from your bucket list.
Wherever your journey into North and South America takes you, we'll create a bespoke tour or luxury holiday with you solely in mind.

This is an unedited Gallery round-up from The Herald Arts section, 31/3/12
Electric Kisses, Bleeding Hearts: June Carey
Glasgow Print Studio (Ground Floor Gallery)
Glasgow Print Studio (Ground Floor Gallery)
103 Trongate, Glasgow
0141 552 0704
April 6 - April 29
|This is the Key to my Heart (etched copper & mixed media on board 20x20.5cm) by June Carey
The work of Stirling-based artist June Carey is instantly recognisable for its colour, strong lines and cross-cultural references. She repeatedly returns to certain subjects; angels, birds, hearts and tattoos, as if by mining these core elements, she will arrive at some sort of resolution.
Love is all around Carey's artwork, but it is not a giddy love in its first flush. It is mature and even maternal; riven by passion and fringed with sadness.
Carey cannot help herself in her desire to make marks and draw out her innermost feelings on paper, but she is also driven to make 3d objects. As she says herself, she will sit and watch TV and create a pair of 'wishing shoes' just to keep her hands busy.
As revealed in this exhibition at Glasgow Print Studio (GPS), part of its 40th anniversary year celebrations, Carey creates her work using pencil, pastel, brush or an etching tool.
Discovering etching brought about a turning-point in her work and career. The process of etching set her imagination free and allows her subconscious mind to dictate the marks she makes.
Widely travelled and a long-term associate of GPS, Carey has been hugely influenced by the many diverse cultures she has encountered, and these experiences not only feed her imagination, but becoming vital to the development of her work.
Carey studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1960 – 1962 and Edinburgh College of Art from 1978 – 1982. She is a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour, Society of Scottish Artists and Aberdeen Artists Society. Her work is in a wide range of significant collections, including the collections of Peter Gabriel, BBC Telelvision and Oxford University.

Worlds Apart: New Work by Kevin Low & Stewart Bremner
Union Gallery
45 Broughton Street, Edinburgh
0131 556 7707
From April 5 - May 1
|The Only Constant by Stewart Bremner
If you look at the work of Kevin Low and Stewart Bremner side by side – as they will be placed in this exhibition in the Union Gallery in Edinburgh – your first reaction would be to say that they are indeed, world's apart.
Both artists are relatively new to the gallery scene (this is the first major exhibition for both men), and according to gallery owner, Alison Auldjo, they produce work which is 'tied together by a thread of outstanding quality.'
Glasgow-based Kevin Low brings art right into the 21st century with his use of a digital tablet and pen in the same way a traditional painter uses a canvas, paints and a brush. Layering the colours to produce the image he is seeking, produces rich and powerful pictures that set his work apart from other digital artists.
As the recent sell-out David Hockney exhibition in London's Royal Academy has shown, painting is adapting to the digital world. "Kevin Low is a pioneer for a new type of painting." explains Auldjo.
Edinburgh-based Stewart Bremner's work aims to evoke the strongest of emotions through spontaneous mark-making and direct sense of urgency. "These are paintings for those who like there art with an edge to it," says Auldjo. "They are for people who like it to create real emotion and passion. Stewart is already building an impressive following in the USA, and we feel it is time he is recognised closer to home. We know this exhibition will divide opinion, but then what else is art for if not to court a little controversy?"
Both artists will be in the Union Gallery to talk about their work on Saturday April 14. Kevin Low will be demonstrating his tablet techniques on Saturday April 21.

Most people would be worried about a blood clot that could potentially become detached and cause something called an embolism in your lungs. But what are the chances that you develop DVT? Before we get around to that question, let's explain what DVT is, and why it is so dangerous.
What is DVT?
First, let's start with blood clots. Normally, blood clots are great. They help stop the bleeding when you've got a cut or laceration. When a blood clot happens without injury, however, you can have a problem, possibly a deadly one.
If a blood clot forms in a blood vessel, it can either restrict blood flow or stop it entirely. You don't want either of these things to happen.
DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, often in the legs. A deep vein is what it sounds like – a vein that is far away from the surface level of your skin.
How do you get DVT?
Certain (rare) inherited conditions can increase your chances of getting DVT, such as an antithrombin deficiency, but if you are on this site, there is a good chance you want to know how you can get DVT as a traveler.
Prolonged periods of inactivity can also be a contributing factor to DVT. For travelers that are spending hours on buses, trains and planes, this could be a problem. But how big of a problem? What exactly are the chances that you will get DVT as a traveler?
According to the Lancet, one of the most respected medical journals in the world, symptomless DVT might occur in up to 10% of long-haul airline travellers. They came to this conclusion after conducting a study in which they surveyed a relatively small number of passengers. Furthermore, all the passengers were over 50 years of age – the higher you are in age, the greater your risk of developing DVT.
If you are relatively young, and you make a point to move a bit during long-haul flights, your risk for DVT is likely to be extremely low. If you are relatively young, and you are on a short-haul flight, you risk is most likely close to zero. Finally, if you are older, all is not lost. You just need to get moving while on those long-haul flights.
What can you do to prevent DVT
This is an easy one: get up and move. Airlines have a variety of exercises that you can do without getting up, such as ankle rolls, but you shouldn't plan on staying in your seat for a long-haul flight. And if you're feeling a bit lazy, drink a lot of water. This will force you to get up – you will need to pee – and it will keep you hydrated.
Finally, you can purchase compression stockings, which can stimulate blood flow in the lower extremities. See some compression socks on Amazon here.
DVT treatment
DVT is particularly dangerous, because it can cause a pulmonary embolism, which is a blood clot in the artery that carries blood from the heart to the lungs. First you have a blood clot in a deep vein in your leg. Then, it detaches and travels to your lungs. If it's hung up in your pulmonary artery, well, I don't think I need to explain why this is bad; you could die.
Treatment typically occurs with anticoagulants and thrombolytics to prevent further blood clots and dissolve the existing one(s). The quicker you can receive treatment, the better. If you have tenderness, pain and swelling in one of your legs, you should go to a clinic as soon as possible and have it checked out. As always, prevention is better than treatment! Follow our tips on staying active, and you should never have a run-in with DVT.

Three years ago Tuesday the federal government shut down online poker in the United States, accompanied by projections the game's popularity would quickly fold.
Well, numbers from this week's World Poker Tour/Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown indicate otherwise.
A record number of entrants -- 1,795 -- took a shot at a $1 million-plus first place prize at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood. That's the most ever for an event in the 12 years of the World Poker Tour.
A quick note here, to be fair: The tournament formats have changed in recent years, allowing eliminated players to rebuy. So an untold number last week re-upped another $3,500 after losing all their chips the first time.
"Still, ultimately they have to pay the money," WPT President Adam Pliska says.
Poker's outlook seemed bleak back in April 15, 2011, known as "Black Friday" to online players. That's when the U.S. Justice Department raided the three most popular poker sites — PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and Absolute Poker — and summarily shut them down, seizing about 76 bank accounts in 14 countries and five domain names. Those sites drove the industry by buying advertising on TV poker shows and in poker magazines, and young pros amassed winnings playing on their home computers that funded their entry into casino card rooms.
Some poker shows did indeed go under, the but the World Poker Tour, which has its own free online site, ClubWPT.com, wasn't hurt, Pliska said.
"Our numbers went up because the other shows were really online commercials," he said. The first airing of each WPT show, which is spread across several networks, now draws about 1 million viewers, he said. (The World Poker Tour is essentially a production company, taping and editing tournaments at casinos worldwide then selling the rights.)
Seminole Hard Rock officials had promised players a prize pool of $5 million, and they needed 1,551 entrants to avoid tapping into their own funds to fulfill the guarantee. The 1,795 entrants mean that $5M barrier has been smashed, and players will split $5.7 million.
The Seminole Hard Rock made news when it guaranteed $10 million last August for a non-WPT tournament, charging $5,300 to enter, and that tournament created a buzz for players to play here, said Ray Stefanelli, the Seminoles' director of poker marketing.
"It's just a testament to the growth of Seminole Hard Rock Poker and the continuing evolution of poker not only at our Seminole properties but for poker in Florida," he said. The WPT's Pliska noted that the WPT has 10 events scheduled for Florida this year, including in Jacksonville, as well as the Seminoles' Tampa and Coconut Creek poker rooms.
Poker has boomed in Florida since July 1, 2010, when laws were eliminated that limited buy-ins for cash games to $100 and poker entries at $800. The largest tournament so far is believed to be at Palm Beach Kennel Club, which attracted 2,607 entrants to a $555 buy-in tournament in February 2012.
Among the top names the Seminole Hard Rock tournament drew were Scotty Nguyen, Phil Laak, Jennifer Tilly, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi and Jason Mercier. They've all been eliminated, but several Hard Rock regulars remain.
The final table taping, with commentary from Mike Sexton, is at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Hard Rock Live. Admission is free, but there aren't many seats, and sometimes fans have to wait outside and watch via closed-circuit TV until a spot opens up.
Get live updates on the tournament at WorldPokerTour.com or SeminoleHardRockPokerOpen.com.

| OMNISENSE95 chapter 1 . 10/26/2013
Wait a minute... is this set... BEFORE the events of the original "Kingdom Hearts"? WHY THE HELL ARE DONALD, GOOFY AND KING MICKEY DRESSED IN KH2 ATTIRE!?
| Mercenary Flyer chapter 1 . 8/17/2012
Just so you know, the first chapter of your story just got riffed:
| Moondrag chapter 4 . 7/9/2011
Okay, too be truthful, when I heard about the Kingdom Hearts and Touhou Crossover three words went through my mind: REALLY BAD IDEA! (Hell, I thought a Artonelico crossover would have been a better idea) The biggest problem with making a crossover is keeping trying to keep everyone in character, so you don't suffer fan backlash and with Kingdom Hearts this must have been a pain to do but to my surprise I think you manage to do it quite well. I didn't see much OOC and even so, it was quite enjoyable. Even your OCs were fine with because they fit quite well in Gensokyo without taking it completely out of whack. (First couple of your Touhou storys non withstanding) But either way I really like it and hope you keep doing it.
| ShimmerMist chapter 4 . 4/30/2011
Shanghai! D: *hopes she'll get better?*
*coughs lightly*
Also, I very much so expect Kimi to show up, kick ass, and get everything back to normal.
(Well, as normal as Gensokyo gets XD)
Hope you update soon Willie!
| The Hexagonal Donut chapter 4 . 4/27/2011
Well, this was definitely an interesting chapter. Quite the bit of madness. Is that good? I have no clue. But it's definitely not bad.
And this Yuffie seems interesting, though I'm assuming she's from Kingdom Hearts.
Now, I originally expected some kind of object to be giving off that first signal, instead of a living being, much less Shanghai.
Oh, and if you accidentally blow up half the Hakurei Shrine while defending it, I hope you have lots of money. And don't destroy the donation box. If you do, well, you're fucked.
Looking forward to the next chapter. ;)
| anonymous chapter 3 . 3/29/2011
ive got an idea for the name of the "crows". you can call them air shadows, like how the basic aerial heartless take the soldier's name and add air. the crows depend on their numbers more than a lot of heartless, so i think it fits.
on another note, this is far better than the only other cross over with kingdom hearts in my opinion. this is probably better than half of the fanfics on this site, but probably because its just starting, it isnt up to your usual standards. i usually start to really like your stories about 1/3rd to halfway through
| The Hexagonal Donut chapter 3 . 3/28/2011
These chapters are, as expected from WillieG.R., quite hilarious. However, I have one question...
Where's the washtub? D:
But either way, funny, and quite interesting. Something I actually didn't expect, but that might be because I'm not really that big of a Kingdom Hearts fan. :S
I look forward to the next chapters!
| Captain Vulcan chapter 2 . 3/25/2011
Ah. Good stuff, man. Definitely glad that you've decided to continue the story. The mishaps at the SDM was this chapter's highlight. Donald and Marisa makes an unlikely good team. I just hate it when the Heartless comes in many... like those guys from 300.
HAHA! Well, well... looks like Donald is catching feelings for Patchouli, eh? And the Unmoving Librarian complemented on the duck's magic prowess in turn. It would be funny if Patchy actually return Donald's feelings. Heh.
Gosh. With the abuse he gets from Remilia I'm begining to think Ail's a masochist. If Remilia keeps beating him up like that it looks like Sanae is going to have a little talk with the little vampire. Kinda interesting that both Remi and Patchy both knew a little about the KeyBlade.
And, holy cow! Are Iku and Tenshi going to be okay? The Gummiship hit them pretty hard.
And what exactly is Mima scheming? I can sense it.
Well. That was a fun chapter. Now to check out the next one. Expect another review soon.
| Captain Vulcan chapter 1 . 3/24/2011
Great start, Willie. Touhou Hearts: epic fic is epic. I didn't mind the OCs. In fact, I'm rather familiar with them. My favorites are Kali, Kimi, and Kyo. Poor Reimu, looks like she won't be joining the war against the Heartless pretty soon. It seems pretty grim at the Hakurei shrine.
Hmm. I'd thought the arrival of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy weren't of coincidence. Dang. The darkness really wants to invade Gensokyou, huh? Enjoyed the way you characterized the Disney trio, but Donald takes the cake. At least Kyo and Mima honestly asks doesn't anyone understands the duck mage.
But for some odd reason, Marisa understands Donald. I fell out laughing. Hard. This proves just how awesome Marisa really is.
On another note, I find it extremely interesting that Mima somehow knows about the KeyBlade. Foreshadowing perhaps? I would love to see her get into it with Malnificent (SquareEnix indicates that the sorceress may indeed be the big bad villian of the KH saga). It's already implied that she's more powerful than even Xemnas.
Man. I'm hype to see what happens next. Keep doing what cha gotta do, Will. Can't let an awesome fic like this simply fade away.


text: A great choice for a stay in Ouro Preto, Hotel Solar do Rosário features a rooftop terrace and offers an airport shuttle (available 24 hours) for BRL 350 per vehicle. After hanging out at the outdoor pool or indoor pool, guests can grab a bite to eat at Senhora do Rosario, which serves Brazilian cuisine and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A bar/lounge and a 24-hour fitness center are other highlights, and rooms offer up nice touches like Egyptian cotton sheets and premium bedding.

In a previous tutorial we have showed how to convert Olive Qemu image to VirtualBox image. Assuming that you have your Olive Vbox hard disk ready, we are going to test if VirtualBox supports UDP tunnels and multicast traffic.
LAB Description and Purpose
GNS3 lab with two VirtualBox Olives is created. Olives are occupied with e1000 type Ethernet card and connected each other with a gigabit link. If VirtualBox is patched for UDP tunnels, ping should be working between two Olive boxes.
The next test consists of checking whether multicast packets are transferred between Olives. In order to prove it, we will configure Olive routers for OSPF and monitor mutlicast traffic.
GNS3 version 0.8.3
Oracle VirtualBox 4.1.18 r78361
The host OS: Linux Fedora 15, kernel 22.214.171.124-1
The guest OS: Junos 12.1R1.9 installed on VirtualBox multiattach hard disk type - olive-base.vdi
1. Initial GNS3 Configuration - General VirtualBox settings
Start GNS3. Navigate to Edit-> Preferences-> VirtualBox-> General Settings. Set path to Vboxwrapper and others parameters according to your GNS3 instalation. Continue with Test Settings button. If your VirtualBox installation is ready to work with GNS3, a green message saying about "Vboxwrapper and VirtualBox API have successfully started" should appear at the bottom of the window.
2. VirtualBox Configuration - Creating Olives Boxes
In this step we are going to create two Olive VirtualBox machines. VirtualBox Manager will be used to do it and started directly from GNS3.
Create a new blank GNS3 project - Ctrl+N.
Navigate to Control Menu located on the top panel of GNS3. Launch Show VirtualBox Manager option. Create a new virtual machine with Ctrl+N. Allocate 512MB RAM for Olive.
Once a new Vbox machine is created, use Ctrl+O to clone it. Your VirtualBox Manger should look as following:
3. GNS3 Configuration - Creating VirtualBox Guests
So far we have created two VirtualBox Olive machines. Now we have to configure GNS3 to use both Olives.
Navigate to Edit-> Preferences-> VirtualBox-> VirtualBox Guest. Click on Refresh VM List button. It instructs GNS3 to detect both VirtualBox machines we created in the step two. Notice, both Olives now can be selected for further configuration in the VM List box. Choose the fist Vbox machine and configure parameters such as Identifier name, number of NICs and NIC model according to the picture below.
A parameter Start in headless mode tells GNS3 not to start GUI when VirtualBox machine machine is started. In this case, both options Enable console support and Enable console server must be also checked to login to Olive.
The option DO not use fist NIC for connections with the host OS should be left unchecked when connection to the host OS is required. In this case, the first available ethernet interface - eth1 is considered as management interface. It means that the first usable interface for connection between Olive boxes is the interface eth2. To makes it even more confusing, eth2 interface is considered as em1 interface in Junos configuration.
The logic behind the interfaces is following for VirtualBox and GNS3 - each VirtualBox Ethernet interface is actually the Ethernet interface decreased in value 1 in the guest OS configuration.
For instance, imagine we have two VirtualBox boxes connected via their eth1 interfaces and the IP address configuration is required. Having in mind what we have said, we should configure this IP addresses on interfaces eth0.
Now back to the topic. As we do not want to reserve the interface eth1 for connection Olive to the host OS - Fedora Linux, we have to check the option DO not use fist NIC for connections with the host OS. In this case, the interface eth1 is the interface em0 in Junos configuration.
Once you have finished configuration of first VirtualBox machine, click on Save button. Select the second VirtualBox machine from VM List box and do the same configuration for this Olive.
4. UDP tunnels testing
Start both Olives Device-> Start and their particular consoles Device-> Console. You should see the whole boot process of Junos in the console window. Login with username root, password is not set. Switch from FreeBSD prompt to Junos prompt with cli command. Configure IP address for em0 interface as following.
root@% cli
root> configure
Entering configuration mode
root# set interfaces em0 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.1.1/24
Setting password for root account is required to be able commit changes.
root# set system root-authentication plain-text-password
Configure the hostname.
root# set system host-name Olive1
Once you finished configuration, commit changes.
root# commit
Do the similar configuration for the second Olive box. Once you are ready, issue the ping to see whether traffic is flowing between boxes.
root@Olive1> ping 192.168.1.2
PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.718 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.816 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.879 ms
--- 192.168.1.2 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.816/1.138/1.718/0.411 ms
It proves that UDP tunnels work for this version of VirtualBox. The picture below shows a network connection detail for Ethernet1 interface of Olive1, captured from VirtualBox Manager. We can see the source and destination UDP port are opened on Fedora for UDP tunnel connection between VirtualBox machines.
The following output shows the same UDP ports from Fedora perspective.
$ sudo lsof -i
VBoxHeadl 3808 root 24u IPv4 31229 0t0 UDP *:20903
VBoxHeadl 3905 root 24u IPv4 32791 0t0 UDP *:20902
5. Multicast Testing
This lab tests whether multicast packets are transferred between VirtualBox machines. The easiest way to check it, is to configure routing protocol OSPF that uses multicast. If VirtualBox supports multicast traffic, a routing table is propagated between Olives.
Let's configure a new network on loopback lo0 interface for Olive1. Then configure OSPF protocol on both interfaces em0 and lo0.
root@Olive1# set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address 10.10.10.1/32
root@Olive1# set protocols ospf area 0 interface em0
root@Olive1# set protocols ospf area 0 interface lo0
root@Olive1# commit
Do the similar configuration for the second box.
root@Olive2# set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address 10.10.10.2/32
root@Olive1# set protocols ospf area 0 interface em0
root@Olive1# set protocols ospf area 0 interface lo0
root@Olive1# commit
If the multicast is working, the network 10.10.10.2/32 configured on the loopback interface lo0 of Olive2 should be presented in a routing table of Olive1.
As we can see in the picture, Olive1 has already put this single-host network to its routing table.
Another proof of working multicast can be presence of multicast traffic on interface em0.

The heavy-duty Renault Trafic has become one of Europe's most successful LCVs, and the French firm hopes this all-new model will build on this lucrative base. With an elongated frame equipped with a host of technology, this upgrade will please business users who value premium usability.
The Trafic's predecessor had a confident and imposing stance that is continued with the new model. Renault's distinctive styling gives the van both a modern look and a purposeful character, with swept-back headlights and robust contours adding to the stylish yet functional appearance.
Designed with optimum practicality in mind, even the smallest Trafic model can carry three Euro pallets with room to spare. A 210mm extension means that you gain 5,200 litres of loading capacity. The specially-designed rear doors also allow you to transport extra-long items with minimal fuss. You can choose between two wheelbases and two roof heights, alongside two and five-seater options. Whichever model you select, you are guaranteed both a comfortable, well-built cabin and a supremely versatile loading area.

IZA: I love TBT's dinner time. That when he tosses toys the most. Oh sure, there are random tossings annytime of day (and I really do enjoy that). But dinnertime is the most intense. I unnerstand that he cant toss toys around too well when he is carryin his clothes to the water swisher or bags of good smelly trash to the garage, but he usually has a few mousies in his pockets and tosses them when he can.
But, like I said, his dinnertime is the best of the day.
He tosses mousies around. He tosses squiggles around. I love chasin them. I even grab the squiggles and bring them back to him ta toss again.
Heres how it goes:
I ask fer some toy-tossin while he is having dinner. He asks iffen it is a mousie night or a squiggle night. I always say "both". Its a joke between us. He knows I want somma both.
I JUMP and grab it to the floor. TBT cheers my effort. I bring it back to him. Then we start gettin more complicated.
He swishes it around on the floor and I actually move away from it. I know it is gonna be tossed farther this time. Will it be over the open dishwasher door? Over the TV tray table? Into the living room? I watch every twitch of it to judge...
It swishes around on the floor. This way. That way. Up and down. Ooh, Im goin crazy...
Into the kitchen it goes and I catch it in mid-air, spinning around with it for a minute or so. Then I sniff it for more movement. None. So I grab it an bring it back to him. Whats next?
It could be a different color squiggle, a rattley mouse, a softie shrew. We have so many wunnerful toys. OH! it is a rattley mouse! He tosses it up in the air, and I grab it. Thats easy; a warm-up. But the next toss is trickier. He tosses it DOWN on the ottoman. It can bounce in ANNY direction from there! I useta haf trubble wif that, cause ya never know where the mousie is gonna go. But lately, I allus catch it on the first bounce up! I cant catch it being tossed at the otto man cause I cant see it the. I only see it on the random bounce.
TBT says I may be "Pudge" but I am becoming one on the fastest-reacting cats he has ever aseen! In fact, he is beginnin ta worry I might actually catch a hummerbird outside. He is serious cuz he moved one of the feeders higher.
Annyway, I was catching the random bouncin mousies and he stopped. Somethin on the TV got his attention. So I hadda ask him ta please toss me another toy.
Well, OK, I ONLY stared at him... When he noticed me again, he tried ta claim he heard me eatin some crunchies and thought I was tired. Right. Eat 2 crunchies and yer out of his mind...
But, to his credit, he really went at it. there were mousies an squiggles flying around every which a way! It was glorious! It was so good that when I really WAS tired of it, I hadda go up near an tell him "no more". I even said "settle".
Life is about purrfect there. I spent 2 hours on TBT's lap while he watched science TV shows. It keeps him in the chair and thats all I care about. Yeah, he shifted positions several times, but I am used ta that an I hardly even wake up when he does it.
Ayla came by a few times. She shared some lap space but she didnt stay long. She wanted to go climb things. Bookcase, ladders, tables, etc. Shes weerd.

Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC)
What it is:
The revolutionary practice of Whole Body Cryotherapy and has its origin in Japan, where it was first used as an alternative treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. The process involves using sub-zero temperatures to activate the hypothalamus, immune and central nervous system, which triggers an anti-inflammatory effect throughout the entire body.
The cold temperatures also work to improve overall blood, oxygen and fluid flow; by causing vasoconstriction during the treatment and vasodilation after the session. This process ultimately promotes a healthy circulation and maximizes the presence of oxygen post therapy.
Thanks to its wide range of wellness benefits, the concept of WBC has been refined, studied, and increasingly utilized around the world for more than three decades.
⎫ Improves Blood & Oxygen Flow
⎫ Prevents Fluid Retention
⎫ Reduces Pain & Inflammation
⎫ Increases Energy & Improves Sleep
⎫ Relieves Joint Pain & Swelling
⎫ Promotes Collagen Production & Reduces Wrinkles
⎫ Enhances Skin Tone & Shrinks Pores
⎫ Diminishes Blemishes & Cellulite
⎫ Flushes Toxins from the Body
⎫ Speeds up Recovery
How it Works
A WBC session involves stepping into a so called Cryosauna, where gasiform nitrogen – the same nitrogen as in the air we breathe – is used to achieve freezing temperatures over a period of 2-3 minutes. The cold environment temporarily lowers the temperature of the client's skin, which then signals the brain to affect a variety of bodily functions.
How it Feels
The session is brief enough that the sensation typically associated with freezing temperatures is very temporary and usually occurs at the end of the treatment, after which it is quickly replaced by a rush of endorphins and a strong sense of wellbeing. Cryotherapy also releases anti-inflammatory molecules, which will provide relief for sore muscles and other painful physical concerns. These effects can last for several days and often increase as the full range of benefits has had time to develop.
Treatment Frequency
Depending on your condition, it is recommended to begin with a series of 5-10 treatments performed within a short timespan. This will allow your body an intense period of optimal healing and processing existing concerns, after which we would choose a maintenance program which would determine frequency of sessions.

Orycon, day 1
First evening at Orycon — fun! It's a small con in the nice Doubletree Hotel. I slogged through the Friday afternoon Seattle traffic (and I thought Friday afternoon to Vancouver, BC, was bad!), and what should have been a 2.5 hour drive turned into 4+ hours.
But make it I did, checked into my fleabag hotel, and walked over the Doubletree. Had a bite to eat, ran into a couple of people (including Dale Ivan Smith and Patrick Swenson), and then proceeded to the bar. Parties are up on the 14th floor. Arrived too late in the day to see any panels, but I intend to see Cat Rambo on an 11:00am panel this morning.

I was in a local coffee shop the other day quietly perusing the morning newspaper when a rather heated argument broke out among three people who had just sat down at an adjacent table.
The topic was global warming and each antagonist was dead sure that they alone knew the cause of the alleged climatic changes and had the solutions.
Usually I don't pay much attention to verbal duels mainly because there are so many of them going on around here during the winter that it would be really strange not to have a few nearby patrons on the cusp of shoving their triple, nuclear caffeine-enhanced espressos into a delicate orifice of their fellow debater.
But these prattling personoids were ranting about a world set on "broil" while peeling off more cold weather gear than the winter wear inventory of a REI warehouse.
I had an urge to suggest that they table their disagreement until this summer when the temps, once again, reach the blistering low 70s and the only people wearing parkas are tourists.
But I decided against it when I realized that they were too intent on interrupting each other's environmental talking points to really give a squat about what I had to say.
Just as I was ready to head back out to the cabin to see if my dog Howard had unconsciously stuck his delicates to the steel yard light again while relieving himself, Wild Willie and Turk blasted through the door.
"What's up Nick?" Willie puffed. "Izat cold enough for ya, bro? I hear the chill factor is down ta minus ten. Ifen it gets any frostier, I'll start havin flashbacks about my ex-girlfriend."
"What brings you two to the burg?" I asked. "Ya'll have another court appearance concerning W's neighbor's SUV fire?"
"Naw, that's all settled," Willie whispered. "I jest gotta remember not ta use a lighter when I'm tryin' ta see ta prime the carburetor. I'm beginnin' ta think I'll never get them scorched curlies outta my sideburns. Jeese, I've stunk like a wet mattress fire fer a month."
"Yeah, well it wouldn't have happened if you didn't have the intellectual capacity of a vat of plankton," Turk growled.
W.W. ignored the cut and asked, "So, how did your truck scouting trip with Mort go? Find anything he wanted ta buy in Anchor Town? I'd wholesale him mine, but it-n-me go too far back."
"Willie, what is it with you? I know your brain's spent too much time near microwave ovens but give the man a break. What in the hell would Mort want with a truck with no hood, one forward gear, pallets for bumpers, Saran Wrap instead of windows, an engine with one functioning cylinder, and a %&*#ing garage door for a truck bed? A seriously decomposed yak would have a better trade-in value," Turk fumed.
"So, custom rigs are out, huh? He probably couldn't meet my asking price anyways," W.W. snorted.
"Well, it was a sad day for the motor industry," I said. "It took snowmachines to get around the sales lots and half the rigs were buried or so expensive Murkowski's jet looked like a best buy."
"Well, I wish Mort luck, bro," Turk snorted. "What kind of deals can you expect in a city that spends 200 grand on a logo that looks like seagull $#^* on a windshield and a slogan with as much appeal as the Klingon Death Flu? Big. Wild. Life? Big whoop. Not a lot one can say about a city whose recommended dress code is casual body armor."
"You have a point, Turk," I said. "Hey, maybe he should try one of those greenie hybrids. They supposedly get better mileage and pollute half as much."
"I don't think so, dude," Wild Willie muttered. "My truck's better than all of those fern feeling, Energizer Bunny rigs put together. I get great mileage and a'int got no exhaust problems. Corse I a'int got no exhaust and I havfta push it everywhere 'cept downhill."
"Why doncha sell it to Al Gore," Turk grumped. "According to that brain trust, we don't have much time before birds start bursting into flames in mid air 'cause we failed to convert to skateboards and serve Beano to cow herds."
"Really?" Willie asked. "Ya think his check would clear? Ya know, he hasn't had a real job for quite awhile. I mean I'd ... gack murggfh ningluthh raterfltug urk..."
The rest of this story is in the police blotter. Fortunately, I was able to remove Turk's fingers from Willie's throat before the gendarmes arrived.
Nick Varney can be reached firstname.lastname@example.com if he isn't sunbathing with Al Gore on a convenient hunk of ice floating in Cook Inlet.

Reggae with Dubtrash
5 months since your Zion Ep went up on MonkeyDub how has that gone for you?
It's been amazing! I've always wanted to release music officially, so it's been a dream come true. The EP has sold quite a few copies aswell, so that's nice too.
Has there been any significant changes since the release?
I've definitely gained a lot more followers globally. I get a lot of people from USA and South American countries commenting on tunes and liking my Facebook page. I've also had an MC from Colombia record a vocal over 'Zion'. He sent it to me and I was surprised when he told me that he did it at a live show and the whole place went crazy, so things like that have been nice. It's cool aswell when you see other DJ's playing your tunes in their sets, it's something that, as a producer, you dream of. As for here in Ireland, because my style is still quite reggae/dub sounding, it's been hard to gain mass following. But I'm hoping more Irish people check me out and see what I'm about.
As a small artist who isn't selling out full clubs (yet) when you started seeing your Ep floating around sites which were giving free dl's.. Was this a good or bad feeling… Please explain!
I've had mixed emotions about it to be honest. At first I was pissed off! But after a while I just accepted that it's inevitable, as a producer, that people are going to share your music around the web. So now, I'm happy that people think my tunes are good enough to be shared. I try and look at it positively
There are plenty of artists just like yourself in Ireland looking for someone to sponsor their releases how did you get through to monkeydub?
I just kept uploading my tunes onto Soundcloud. At first I was wondering, how on earth do I get more plays and comments? But after a while, people starting leaving more and more comments and I suppose it just took off from there. One of the guys from Monkey Dub, Guillaume, left a comment on one of my tunes and we ended up discussing the possibility of releasing an EP. It was a combination of luck and perseverance!
Will there be any future releases from MonkeyDub or other labels?
Perhaps there will be! I'm hoping to make more tunes for the New Year, so if Monkey Dub or any other labels want to release something, we'll have to wait and see! As for now, I'm planning to release a free EP just before Christmas, it's a little bit different, a 2 track experimental EP entitled 'Twilight'.
Which song of yours do you feel reflects your production styles the best?
Hmm, that's a tough question. I suppose 'Zion' because, for me, it flows along perfectly. It's quite a dubbed out tune, and I think it represents my passion for dub and chilled out bass music. I'm very proud to have made it
There was a time I heard you were potentially doing a track with DFX Major.. Is this still going to happen down the line? His voice and your productions would be quite epic!
Yes I would love to work with him! He's got such a raw sound, I'd love to combine his vocals with some harsh reggae beats, I think it would work nicely. He stayed at mine one time and he did a wicked freestyle over me beat-boxing, somebody recorded it, haha so maybe we could do something like that!?? He's gone over to Manchester to study music, so we shall see what happens, If he wants to hook up and do something I'd be cool with that.
So you have a new clubnight coming up soon. Fancy telling us a bit about it?
It's been a long time coming, but yes, we're planning to get regular dubstep nights going in Letterkenny in the not so distant future. It's not confirmed as of yet, but I've been chatting to a promoter in the area, and he seem's keen on the idea. There's definitely a need for an anlternative music scene here, so I can see it taking off if it goes ahead!
Is there much a scene out in LetterKenny?
Not really at the moment. The clubs play chart R&B usually, so it's been hard for me to try and get some clubs interested in having dubstep or d&b nights. Hopefully though I can help change that, and people will have somewhere to go to hear quality underground bass music.
Any big name's you want to get in to your night?
I'd love to get Radikal Guru to play! He's definitely my favourite dubstep producer. I'd love to get Coki, Mala, and also some UK garage, d&b artists…I'd also like to get some heavy DJ's like Funtcase or Cookie Monsta. I've heard of this unreal DJ from Dublin too, I think his name is Ois or something like that…ahem! Hopefully the night's will grow and become the next big thing in the North-West, we're aiming big, so who knows, it might just happen.
What do you personally think of the dubstep scene in Ireland is it growing and is it going in the right way?
It's blown up so fast hasn't it? I remember showing tunes to people a couple of years ago and they were like "what the fuck is that?" or "that's too slow to dance to". It's funny how now, everyone considers themselves to be an expert about the scene. I think the whole bro-step and electro-step explosion has caused major confusion within the scene, especially for new listeners, but I try not to think about that too much. My aim is to make dub music that I like myself, and if other people seem to enjoy it, all the better!
What's the next big thing to expect from Dubtrash anything big in the works that we dont know about?
I'm planning to make as many new tracks over the next year as possible. I'm going to branch off into other genres too. So expect some drum & bass, garage, and maybe even some dubbed out techno and house…
Right and well that's about it for Dubtrash his Zion EP is out now on Monkey Dub Recording and you can keep up with the rest over at his Soundcloud.

My eldest loves to read. She always has. Hope she always will. So, when we were in Abilene, Texas. We had to stop by and see the character sculptures. Walking around the park and several of the downtown streets to see them ended up being a real treat for her. Though a few of the storybook characters I had no idea who they were. On the bright side gives us something to look for in our next trip to the library.
One might ask how in the world did Abilene become the Storybook Capitol of Texas. Well the city came up with the idea to showcase children's literature by building a museum. After the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature was created the city's next step was to build a series of sculptures of some of the most beloved characters in children's literature. Abilene is now up to 24 and still adding more. All-in-all it made for a nice little walk in their downtown area.
From my kid's perspective, she really enjoyed seeing the characters up-close. She had a blast being around them, striking poses, and modeling for the camera. M would run up to the ones she knew and became inquisitive about the ones she didn't. From a dad's perspective, it was a lot of fun having a little daddy/daughter time touring the area. It was great to see her love for reading.
I thought the storybook character sculptures were all well done. Some of the selections were interesting. Not for sure if there is some sort of licensing agreement on why some are picked over others. Though we had no idea who some of them were just seeing the artistic work of the sculptures still made them enjoyable to see.
Unfortunately, Abilene was a stopover for us. By the time, we arrived the storybook museum was closed so I could not tell you if that would be a good stop or not. The statues were well worth seeing especially the park area with several Dr. Seuss characters. It was nice stop, got us out of the car which when driving with a 4 and a 2-year-old is what helps make for much more enjoyable trip.

Page Lambert writes about the western landscape, mentoring and guiding people who want to creatively connect more deeply with the natural world. She facilitates outdoor creative adventures, and her River Writing Journeys for Women with Sheri Griffith Expeditions were featured in Oprah's O Magazine. Next spring, she'll lead a group to Peru for "Weaving Words & Women," a cultural immersion into the ancient, sacred and everyday world of women.
A presenter for numerous literary and professional events, Page has conducted more than 150 workshops in the U.S. and British Columbia and speaks on a variety of writing, motivational, and nature-related topics. She writes a blog, "ALL THINGS LITERARY. ALL THINGS NATURAL." for those who desire a more creative relationship with the natural world, and is also a creative coach, helping writers define and pursue their personal and professional projects with passion. Page generously agreed to answer 5 questions about the projects that are close to her heart and her plans for the future.
EC: You've published fiction, nonfiction, books, essays, short stories, poetry and more. Somehow you've managed to cross all of these genres while still maintaining a very distinctive "brand." Was that a conscious marketing decision or a natural evolution of who you are and what you like to write? Or both?
Page: I think the best author brands evolve organically when the projects we work on are extensions of our passions. I'm passionate about landscape, and the human and animal stories tied to specific landscapes, so this theme is found in all my writing. It is a strong theme in my Wyoming memoir In Search of Kinship (Fulcrum Publishing), yet you'll also find it in my fiction. All the Water Yet to Come, the Denver novel I've been working on for the last eight years, is about family and how the landscape both shapes and controls our destinies. And each poem in the collection Spring Rain, Falling, which won a Wyoming Arts Council Poetry Fellowship several years ago, has strong threads of landscape and family woven throughout.
Recently, I wrote an epic poem taken from the research I've been doing for the Denver novel. It's really a love story to Denver—a deep mapping of the land where Denver sits, from her geological beginnings to her contemporary high rises. The poem became part of the Denver Art Museum's monumental sculpture by Roxanne Swentzell, "Mud Woman Rolls On." You can read the poem here, and you can read about how the poem found its way into the heart of "Mud Woman" here.
EC: Nature is a running theme in your projects. What advice do you have for writers who want to incorporate more elements from nature in their writing?
Page: Redefine what nature means to you; expand that understanding. Nature does not exist only outside the windows of our homes. Nature exists in every pore of our bodies. When we reawaken ourselves to our own body's responses to our environment—how the updraft that stirs the ashes at the base of the fireplace also stirs a sense of foreboding, or how the shadow that falls across the dining room table lengthens as our own energy wanes—then we also reawaken our writing to the sensate world. I'm reading David Abram's newest book right now, Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology. When we remind ourselves that we are a part of nature, and that nature is not something separate from ourselves, then we open up the entire world to our characters. Suddenly, setting becomes sensual, whether inside or out. The world in which we've set our work becomes a living, breathing world, and our characters begin to physically respond to this world. Nature becomes elemental to our writing.
EC: You have one of the best author websites I've ever seen. How did you develop it, and how do you maintain it?
Page: Thank you, Eliza. When I redesigned my site, I asked Sue Winters of Sage Turtle Design to help me design a site that would give the visitor an intimate artistic experience, rather than a commercial dunking. Sue is great at implementing my ideas and adding her own creative design expertise. I wanted the visitor to feel the kind of hospitality when visiting me on the web, as they would feel if visiting me in my home. I use Sue to maintain the site because it's her area of expertise, not mine, and I like the idea of supporting her sole-proprietorship. She also helped me create a website for the nonprofit Clear Creek Land Conservancy. I'm their Creative Consultant, and Sue and I developed an innovative section for them called "The Canyon as Art." CCLC is probably the first land conservancy to bring these two concepts together. It's still a work-in-progress, but I'm excited about it.
EC: When you're not writing or hosting retreats, you're also a creative coach. What services do you offer, and what might someone expect if they were interested in working with you in this way?
Page: It's very easy (for writers especially, and for women writers most of all) to lose that vital sense of purpose necessary to start and complete a creative project. We compare time spent on our creative work to time spent on projects more easily justified, like jobs with paychecks! We mire ourselves in self-doubt. Writing often seems self-indulgent, especially if we're not selling our work. To learn how to integrate our creative lives with the rest of our lives is critical. Too often, we hold this part of ourselves separate from our work, our family, our spirituality, our physicality, even our happiness. Sometimes clients come to me with very specific, well-defined projects. Sometimes it's more about re-defining priorities to make room for a creative project. Or it's more holistic—learning how to integrate these different aspects. I offer a complimentary half-hour consultation, followed either by a single consulting session, or a package deal.
EC: You've accomplished so much, traveled to many faraway places and told such diverse and amazing stories. What are you writing these days? What's still on your bucket list?
Page: Ah, my bucket list! Right now, that list includes more time with my horse; finishing my novel; finishing Sweetwater: A Mountain Cabin, A Life Unfolding (a sequel to my Wyoming memoir); and continuing to work on my poetry collection. I would also like to add a new section to my website called "Page's Passions," so that I have a place to post news and links for non-writing related endeavors like land conservancy, sustainable ranching, and tribal colleges. This could also be a place to talk about organizations that I'm involved with like the Children & Nature Network and the Vore Buffalo Jump Foundation, or projects like the community barn-raising that I'm co-chairing here in Mount Vernon. And it would give me a chance to toot the horn of other authors who share these same passions.
Page's fall weekend seminar at Mount Vernon Country Club (Golden, Colorado) will use Robert Olen Butler's book From Where You Dream: the Process of Writing Fiction for both guidance and inspiration. Check here for updated details. If you'd rather get away for a couple of weeks, and have always dreamed of visiting Macchu Pichu, check out her April 2012 "Weaving Words & Women" retreat.

I am re-posting this from the 4.4 forum hopefully that is okay. I am new here and don't wanna break any rules. This may be better suited here however.
I just got a Nexus 5 yesterday and received a song from my friend. He made it using rockband but it is saved as an m4a. I can view over 19 folders using Astro File viewer on my phone but when I connect to my HP laptop running Windows 8.1 i can only view 12 folders. I used astro to move the song to a folder I can view on my laptop but it shows up as empty even though I know the file is in there. Why wont my laptop recognize many of these files. I would like to be able to move the song to google play so I can have it in my cloud but it is as though the file does not exist. Is there any way to make all these files appear. I have usb debugging on and have tried connecting as both PTP and MTP. I am coming from a Galaxy S 3 so this is a bit different as i do not have removable storage. Thanks in Advance. Nick

Working Golden Retriever Dogs
Though there are many types of working dogs, involving many different breeds, let's focus on working golden retriever dogs and the areas of work using this breed.
Have you ever watched a Golden Retriever walking beside his owners, carrying his own leash in his mouth? Have you seen the grin on that dog's face? (Even Helpful Harry is happy to lend a hand at bath time.) I think it's because he's working (or at least, he thinks he is). Golden retriever dogs seem happiest when they're working, and when they know they're doing it well.
For thousands of years, we humans have been taking advantage of the dog's desire to serve. And here they are, after all this time–still with that big goofy grin, still ready to do anything we ask them to do. As you probably already know, dogs have abilities far beyond those of humans in many areas.
Golden retriever dogs combine two powerful instincts:
- The desire to retrieve (anything!)
- And an incredible sense of smell.
Their "sniffer" skills are priceless in many areas. Here are a few of the most well-known ones:
- Drug dogs
- Bomb dogs
- Police dogs
- Search and rescue dogs
We'll take a look at each of those doggy occupations to see how well Goldens fulfill their job descriptions.
The extraordinary level of scent detection in many types of working golden retriever dogs is legendary. Besides their amazing sense of smell, there's another reason these beautiful dogs do so well at their jobs. Their ability to concentrate on the task at hand makes Goldens one of the most popular working dog breeds.
They're also natural people-pleasers! That's why they work really hard to make sure their handlers are happy with their work. Golden retriever dogs in these important occupations are much more than just companions. They usually go through months or even years of extensive training.
When it's time to work each day, a Golden Retriever will do everything he possibly can in order to reach the goal his handler sets for him. But when the work is over, he's delighted to catch a Frisbee or retrieve a ball with his handler and other members of his human pack.
Whether at work or at play, Goldens give it their best!
No matter how many types of working dogs share our world, it's a safe bet that most of them work because they love to work–not because they need a paycheck!

Comments about Live Performances
Comments on the Menlo Brass CD, "A Simpler Life"
"You guys made a fine CD: A Simpler Life. That's a big project and I enjoyed checking it out several times in the car (where I do all my listening!). The Ewald is a knockout – you really have a lot of good ideas about that 'classic,' especially the second movement. That's about the best I've ever heard that one. I liked the Sondra Clark, I'Lana Cotton and Rosemary Barrett Byers a lot. The one that really knocked me out was the Allegretto from Palladio by Karl Jenkins – nice arrangement, nice playing. Also I thought That's A-Plenty was on the money too."
David Baldwin, Professor of Trumpet at University of Minnesota School of Music, composer, and arranger 4/24/2014
"I finally got a chance to hear the whole CD and it's grand! That is a tight little group and it's in tune. Everybody sounds technically and musically proficient, and the balance is perfect. Whoever recorded youse-all knew what's up. It is a nice comprehensive program too...shows what can be done. A grand present for me! If only every student I had was so good!"
John Kolarik, Barb Sigler's high school brass ensemble teacher 12/18/03
"I still play your CD all during my drive time – love it!!!"
Jane Hartman (mother of the bride) 5/2/03
"I never got around to telling you how much Lynn and I loved your MBQ album "A Simpler Life". Great programming, performances and recording! I have a moderate collection of brass quintet recordings and this one is definitely one of my
favorites. Jack Gale [arranger of "Tonight" and "Summertime" from the CD] actually played in my brass quintet in NY when he was writing the West Side Story and Porgy & Bess arrangements. He was ... always fun to work with the few times we were able to get him for jobs. I have copies of his manuscript that he gave me...so it was extra cool for me to hear them on your recording. Lipton's writing and playing are both very interesting and enjoyable... everyone else was great – Dan, Barbara, Ron & Sam – you really did a great job on this."
Fred Urrutia (former professional tuba player in a brass quintet in New York City; founding member and former baritone
saxophone in Full Spectrum Jazz big band) 1/17/03
That CD of yours is spectacular! This is work of the highest calibre, and a fabulously clean recording job. "
Ed Brink, piano recording artist 1/7/03
"We thoroughly enjoyed the Menlo Brass Quintet CD. Herb plays trumpet, so can appreciate the excellent tone and precision. You all are to be congratulated and we hope this CD will be a fine success."
Barbara and Herb Lauterwasser (Laconia, New Hampshire) 1/6/03
"As soon as I got your CD I meant to write you and tell you how nice it looks, and later, how nice it sounds. You all did a great job. It looks so nice. I enjoyed the pieces very much. It was nice to hear the quintet play the other pieces, and I'm am very grateful for your inclusion of my piece."
Warner Jepson, Composer 11/22/02
"Congratulations to you and the whole group on the great new CD! It's just beautifully put together in every respect! I really liked the musical way you played my "2 for 5," and the other selections were equally well done. Thank you for including my work on your fine release."
Dr. Sondra Clark, Composer 11/6/02

Welcome to the world of special snowflakes. Sadly the world is getting more accepting of these idiots. There are 3 genders that's it. Female, male and both. If you are not happy with your gender that's fine, you can change to the other, but until you do you are still what you are not what you want to be. Forget this "I identify bullshit", look between your legs and that's what you are.
Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment
Yeah, way to ignore all the third and more genders in societies before they were systematically oppressed by Christian Europeans. Also, what's between your legs doesn't dictate your gender. Those are called SEX traits, and are generally what's used to denote SEX, which is recognized as separate from GENDER. Gender is determined by brain structure and other unknown factors, and as such there is an inestimable number of potential variations in gender.
Ok Ghostfox follow this train of thought and maybe you will understand my point (I know you will disagree with it but hey) Do you have a penis? Yes you are male. Do you have a vagina? Yes, you are female. Do you have both? Rare but yes you are a Hermaphrodite. All of these things are ok and if you are not happy with what you have you can change. That's ok too, whatever makes you happy. So yeah you are one of the 3. The other genders are all just bullshit names people give themselves to make them feel special. Gender dysphoria is a thing. All of these other "genders" fall into that. But it is a mental condition that doesn't change your gender no matter how much you want it to.
Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment
Wow, congrats on completely misunderstanding the point of gender dysphoria as a diagnosis. And what gender is. And what sex is. You should probably go back to school and actually pay attention to your health ed class. Or take advantage of the fact you obviously have internet access to educate yourself. Gender is not the same as anatomy, because of it were, people wouldn't HAVE gender dysphoria. Having a penis or vagina may have that SEX assigned to you for legal purposes, but just because someone has one or the other does not mean that they are the gender that anatomy is usually considered to belong to. So yes, I do disagree with you, because you are scientifically, medically, and factually incorrect. And horribly bigoted and intentionally hurtful toward transgender people, on top of that.
Rather than resorting to calling me a bigot or insisting I educate myself why not counter my point with actual examples? My points still stand. Your biological sex (legal sex) is your gender. It might not feel like yours but it's ok to change that if you feel so strongly about it. Not to mention I did say I don't agree with this "I identify" bullshit. This is because I could identify as a lesbian black woman. Doesn't make me one. Not until surgery makes me one. So if someone identifies as the opposite gender to what they are but are not willing to change it by surgery then yeah I say it's bullshit attention seeking. When you have had as much real world experience as me you may see this too. Please give me some examples in your reply and don't use the standard snowflake response when faced with logic of "you wouldn't understand" or the I'm not arguing with a bigot line simply because you can't back up the claim they are not the 3 genders I said in my op and the rest are just a diluted name change of the 3 that fall under a mental condition or at worst an attention seeking idiot who's trying to feel special when in fact they are just ordinary.

Theres only two genders. The both thing is a genetic mistake
Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment
Considering that you're intentionally refusing to comprehend the difference between gender and sex, I highly doubt that you would put forward any more effort toward understanding any other aspects of it. Gender and sex ARE different, and your sex does NOT mandatorily indicate your gender. If someone is a trans woman, she's STILL a woman, even if she hasn't had any surgery done yet, or doesn't intend to have it done. In fact, desire for surgical correction is NOT mandatory for someone to be transgender, because not only is it sometimes not an option, but some people are less effected by physical gender dysphoria than social gender dysphoria. To put that in easier terms, some people aren't as bothered by the mismatching physical aspects as they are by constantly being referred to and treated as the wrong gender. Some of these people will change their mind and decide to have surgery at a later date- others will stick to HRT and using how they dress to be comfortable. There's also the fact that the LAW disagrees with your statement that someone's gender is their sex- intentionally misgendering a transitioning employee, coworker, or customer by referring to them by their birth designated sex after they have started the process of social transitioning is considered workplace discrimination and if done on multiple occasions, becomes workplace harassment, with all the same possible penalties and punishments as any other case. If this is going over your head, you can thank your lack of desire to understand that sex and gender are different, and that ones sex is not their gender. But if you want to throw the "give me evidence" card, please do fill me in on all your experience with transgender people, people who are intersex, and the medical involvement in both, since you apparently feel that you have so much first hand experience with them that your misunderstanding of them is actually truth. Oh, and also give me your evidence that there are only three genders when there have been cultures throughout history and across the world that acknowledge more than that. Of course, unless your "evidence" somehow makes hundreds of thousands of people not exist, it's obviously inaccurate given that people exist who identify with genders other than the three you argue to be the only ones to be real. Here's a suggestion, by the way- don't try to get your "evidence" from people who AREN'T part of the LGBT+ demographic, and that includes yourself. Actually look into the subjects using resources made by the people actually affected by social attitudes like yours, instead of only using material that reinforces what you already believe.

There is NO difference between gender and sex! It is one and the same! If you have a penis you are male, if you have a vagina you are female, I don't care what your misguided mental health issues tell you!

Sadly I don't think so, there is something called feminism and it is said that there's more than 2 genders and that the doctors are wrong for "deciding the genders for you when you are born". I hate to think that this might be everyone's future

Kids these days - I would have said: "did you just yell at me? You could politely correct me instead of yelling like a little girl ... oh I'm sorry." Meh ... sometimes I should be around people.

I feel like most of the time people say this as of late, it's meant to be a joke.
RockPrincess26 | 16
The fact that she screamed it at OP, means that she DISRESPECTED her teacher. Joke or not, consequences MUST be taken.
MadiGirl24 | 15
Oh yes, of course, it doesn't excuse their behavior but a lot of the comments are talking about this as if it reflects on all the "special snowflakes". I'll admit, people are way too easily offended lately but it's like, I...I THINK THIS particular person was just a kid doing a dumb joke.
By Mynxie | 26
So guess respect for your elders is a time of the past and your feefees are more important? Lord, society is in trouble. Surr Trans people have been around, though a very tiny percent of the gay community, which is a small percent of the world population, but it is trendy now to think you are a different gender based on how you feel that day. There is a difference between Trans people, who are Trans and will never be the gender they want to be at the automatic level, but this gender fluid is a joke, and not a funny one.

I'd like to share a revelation that I had during a camping trip in awe-inspiring Kings Canyon, CA last week. I spent much of Shabbat afternoon by a wild river. There's not much else you can do at a campsite with a small eruv around the tents on a long, hot summer day. Over the course of several miles the rushing water warms from a numbing glacial chill to a balmy 75 degrees. A few dear friends and I walked among the rocks, found perfect places to dip our feet and occasionally submerge to cool off. After a few lazy hours we felt at one with the flow, relaxed and open. During these rare moments of peace I try to ask the deep, dark questions that rarely see daylight. My new friend Frank was on hand to help me with one quandary that had been nagging me.
Rambam tells us that it is cruel to face adversity and not ask why such a thing might be happening. I had pulled a muscle in my calf a few weeks earlier while skateboarding with my son. We were watching the pros at the X Games and then doing some freestyle ourselves. It finally got better and then I managed to re-injure it on a Kings Canyon hike, just when I reached full mobility. Oy…another two weeks of limping? So why now, why my calf, and why the re-injury? Frank believes that revisiting the same affliction helps one recognize that he or she didn't learn the lesson the first time. I never thought much about my calf strain…these things "just happen" when you over extend, right?
One thing that's been on my mind is the imminent departure of my oldest son who is now a senior in high school. My wife and I are awakening to the fact that the next family vacation will be the last with all of us together, at least for a while. Soon there will be a missing person at our dinner table. And then another kid will join him, then another. We are hearing the footsteps of Empty Nest Syndrome, and my reaction is to greedily hold on to each moment. I'm shooting more pictures than ever, trying to pack in memorable activities, filling my son's head with words of guidance, boosting confidence and issuing warnings. Simultaneously I am grappling for traction in a topsy-turvy economy where music is often the first line item cut from disappearing budgets and downloads prevail. I'm learning that my reaction to all these issues is really the same: hold on for dear life, hoard my assets, maintain status quo, wear a convincing smile.
As I expressed these insights I told Frank, "I'm
trying to hold onto my kids just like I'm trying to hold onto this water." As I reached into the river for handfuls of water it just escaped through the cracks in my fingers and continued on its inevitable descent. I sobbed tears of sadness and relief as I acknowledged this bittersweet pain that I have been carrying inside.
When we feel the need to grab so much we send a message to the Universe: I don't have what I need, I'm living in fear, and I'm desperate. Holding on creates tension; imagine a fist clenched tightly closed, a contorted bronze sculpture calcified in a defensive, protective pose. That's me. Where there is no movement there is no grace, no flexibility. Our sages teach us to be supple like the river reed. A dry, brittle twig will break under pressure. Stay liquid, stay open, and stay available. Just like that river flows effortlessly towards Fresno, I must be at peace with change to allow the Divine flow to nurture me.
I'm not sure why that gastrocnemius muscle is called a calf, but we can learn a lot from the mention of the calf in our text, specifically the golden variety. Frank and I discussed the biblical scene of an entire people losing faith in their leader, panicking, creating a replacement deity. Do you see the connection? Panic, anxiety and melancholy cripple one's faith. Even the afterglow of Divine revelation at Sinai wasn't enough to keep the Jewish People connected. How much more so do we fall in this generation when current circumstances conspire to annihilate our faith. Bottom line: I am a man of faith who has no faith. I run around the country to fifty cities a year singing songs of love for God and yet my personal faith in
God's ability to sustain me and keep my family together is crumbling. Rather than serving as an example of holiness and living at peace with the Universe, open to whatever God has in store, I am a frightened child trying to protect all my toys from the neighborhood bully.
My kids will spend a year in Israel, go to college, marry and propagate the species, God willing! That's what we want! As parents we are archers, pulling back the bow with all our strength and launching our beloved offspring into the fray, using the best aim we can muster. Then they are flying. Separate from us. Leaving us. They will follow their own voice, make their mark on the world, stand on their own two feet. Hopefully they are standing on our proverbial shoulders, with as expansive a view as we can provide. To try to stop the process is like trying to dam up a rushing river. You can try to pile up stones in a Sisyphean rage…or just let the water do what it's going to do anyway.
In my career, I will continue to have challenges and they will force me to innovate, create partnerships and grow. Why is it that I can counsel friends with clarity, seeing the rich horizons that lay just beyond, and for myself I see darkness? One of my buddies on the camping trip is an actor and yoga instructor. He is 37 years old and says he can't marry his girlfriend until he has a stable income. Did I mention that he's an actor and yoga instructor? God wants us happily married! The flow will come! Of course God will continue to look out for my family! Of course I will succeed! Like everyone else, God has given me a unique set of gifts, a piece of the global puzzle that only I possess. God has a purpose for me. I have to make the effort, but I must remember that God will finish the task. Trying to do it all is the act of a pagan. I have God on my team!
One of our nights in the campground we went to the ranger led astronomy lecture. We were astounded to learn of the vastness of space, the size of the great celestial bodies, the mind-stretching distances in the universe. Our sun is just one of over 200 BILLION stars in our Milky Way galaxy, and the Milky Way is just one of over an estimated billion galaxies. For all of our human accomplishments we still haven't set foot on a single planet in our own quaint solar system. Around the campfire we were marveling that the same God that brought about the Big Bang lovingly created our brains and bodies. God creates new suns in explosive supernovae and still "sheps nachas" when I wrap my tefillin.
After the lecture Ranger Bob brought us to a clearing in the forest where we could peer into the pitch-black new moon sky with a sixteen-inch mirror telescope. My friends, I saw a global cluster, the Whirlpool Galaxy and "eye of God" Ring Nebula with my own eyes! All of these celestial bodies have a specific place in the universe, predictable orbits that they follow, so reliable that we can use their light to steer our ships through the night. All of creation is on a path, with atoms in ordered arrays, electrons and protons spinning around nuclei, trees arching towards the sun, ants marching in single file, pelicans drafting off each other's wingtips. Why should I dread any aspect of my own path, my lifecycle? Thankfully the Jewish People have been given the gift of a long and winding road of 613 mitzvot, in a system called Halacha, the path. Jewish law can be seen as oppressive and burdensome, or as a collection of helpful spiritual signposts to keep us joyful and inspired on the annual orbit of the Jewish year.
When I am resisting change and anxious about the future, I lose the Divine flow and close myself off to perceiving the path of peace. Judaism has
amazing tools to stay on track but I can testify that it is possible to live within halacha and become a robot. I think the key is focusing on filling our lives with kindness to others and gratitude to our Creator. I am grateful for the time God has allotted me to be with my children. I am grateful for vacations and National Parks. I am grateful for stars, rivers and friends. I am grateful for the air that I breathe. I am grateful for my wife, my children, my parents, my extended family. I am grateful to be Jewish. I am grateful for skateboards, skis, guitars and gravity. I am grateful for challenges to overcome. I pray that all of us learn the art of letting go, prying open our hearts to the messages of Heaven and finding our true path. Thanks to a river, a telescope and a new friend, I am a bit closer to finding my own.
