The Board of Directors at The Chamber of Schenectady County has voted to oppose federal legislation that would make it easier for workers to unionize.
The Employee Free Choice Act would allow the creation of a union once the majority of a company's employees sign an authorization card, with no secret ballot required. The legislation also would impose stiffer penalties on companies that aggressively stymie worker efforts to unionize.
The House of Representatives passed the legislation last week. Its future in the Senate, however, is less clear, and the Bush Administration has said the president will veto the measure if it reaches his desk.
Nevertheless, the Schenectady chamber said it felt the need to voice opposition to the measure, especially as New York Sens. Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer, both Democrats, are likely to support it.
The chamber, in a written statement today, said it supports the current secret ballot system and fears the Employee Free Choice Act would lead union organizers to bully employees into signing authorization cards. The act, the group said, "would only further intimidate and threaten the freedoms of American workers."
Labor leaders, however, say their efforts to organize are thwarted by employers who threaten workers. They also say the legislation is needed to stop a long decline in union membership.

Historical records matching Barbara Lillian Billingsley
Immediate Family

About Barbara Lillian Billingsley
She is an American film, television, voice and character actress of stage, who in her five decades of television came to prominence in the 1950s in the big screen in The Careless Years opposite Natalie Trundy, followed by her best-known role, that of June Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver and its sequel Still the Beaver (also known as The New Leave It to Beaver).
Billingsley was born Barbara Lillian Combes in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Robert Collyer Combes, who was the Chief of Police, and Lillian A. (née McLaughlin) Combes, who worked in a factory. She was the youngest of three children. When she was a little girl, her mother would often take her to the movies. Her parents divorced while Barbara was an adolescent.
When she was in second grade, Billingsley fell in love with drama immediately. She was a popular student at Los Angeles's George Washington High School (now Washington Preparatory High School, an almost all-black high school), where she fell in love with all the school plays. Billingsley was voted "Class Queen". She graduated from George Washington in 1934.
She and her first husband, Glenn Billingsley, a successful restaurateur, had two sons, Drew and Glenn, Jr. Since 1974, Drew and Glenn have owned and operated Billingsley's Restaurant in West Los Angeles, in the tradition of their father and their great-uncle, Sherman Billingsley, founder of New York City's very fashionable 1940s-era nightclub, the Stork Club. Billingsley divorced Glenn Billingsley, but kept his surname professionally. She later married Roy Kellino, a director. After Kellino's death, she married Dr. William Mortensen, who died in 1981.
Billingsley is related by marriage to actor/producer Peter Billingsley, known for his starring role as Ralphie in the seasonal classic A Christmas Story. Her first husband Glenn's cousin is Peter's mother, Gail Billingsley.
Her son, Glenn, Jr. has been married to Karen Zappas since 1976. They have three children: Logan, Morgan and Taylor. Drew has a son, Drew Jr. (all of whom are Barbara's grandchildren).
Her hobbies include: tennis, listening to radio, watching dramatic movies, traveling, wine tasting, sewing, spending time with family, gardening and dining. She frequently played poker with good friend Rod Serling until his death in 1975.

A Little Bit of Everything
I hope this post is worth the wait! I've never been to Vancouver before and there were a lot of touristy things on my list. We're about to head home and I feel like I've seen almost everything I needed to!
Our flight out was at 6:55am, you're supposed to be there a couple hours ahead and it is an hour drive to the airport from our house. Instead of waking up at 3 or 4am Paul and I stayed up to do as much re-skeining as we possibly could. When I dye yarn, it gets all tangled up in the dyebath, so I have to re-skein it to make sure there are no serious tangles in the yarn. The self-striping is a little bit more of a process because of the way it is dyed. So Paul and I didn't go to bed, just stayed up yarning. Paul's parents are accompanying us on this trip, so they were picking us and to drive to the airport. Luckily, Paul's mom has a slightly nervous constitution and planned on picking us up around 2:30 or 3am to get to the airport. After we had packed all the bags into the truck and started to set off, there was a strange noise as we were backing out of the parking lot. The truck had a flat tire.
We were very early so the 45 minutes it took the four of us to change it wasn't a huge amount of time lost. We got to park and take the shuttle into the airport. After shuttle, security and all that jazz, there was only about 20 minutes left before we were to board the plane. I wouldn't be able to sit and snooze for 20 minutes so I took out my needles and started on a hat that I am making for Paul's little cousin in Vancouver.
Our plan was to sleep on the plane because there is a three-hour time difference between Ontario and Vancouver. Leaving at 7am and a five-hour flight, it would be around noon Ontario-time. We were actually arriving at 9am so there is some weird time-shift seeming witchcraft happening there. Our plan was to sleep on the plane and get a full first day in Vancouver. Nothing huge planned, but possibly a small amount of exploring around the hotel; get to know your surroundings and all that jazz. I think this plane must have been smaller than your average tiny plane because I felt extremely cramped the whole time. I even took a gravol just before we boarded to MAKE SURE I slept. I did end up sleeping fitfully for all but the last half hour, but it was actually difficult and I am sure the nice girl beside me would have liked to kill me for worming around so much. Dear Nice Lady, I'M SORRY!! I am usually well-behaved on flights and can sit and knit for hours on end. I plug in my headphones, listen to audio books and don't move AT ALL! My headphones were being finicky and would stop playing if I touched the cord or moved around at all, which is almost worse than not having them. An audio book provides a constant stream of talking, like white noise. I fall into the story, which calms my mind, then drop off to sleep. It's much more difficult when all you can think about is 'Don't move, don't move, don't move.'
I also forgot to mention that we are packing all the stock yarn, banners, samples etc. into checked bags. I put all that yarn into the hands of the airline and just attempted to NOT think about all the things that could go wrong. Our flight was direct, so not much of a chance of anything getting lost, but STILL! I made sure to plaster my name, phone number and address all over each case. I also tried to mix each case with an assortment of bases and colours, so if one was lost or a day or two late getting there it wasn't going to ruin everything. I felt like I had done everything I possibly could to make sure the airline would be able to find/contact me in the event of lost luggage. However when we went to pick everything up, there were no issues. I am not going to lie, I felt like a girl who needed to pack her whole closet to go on a weeklong trip. We picked up our rental van and headed over to the hotel to see if our room was ready. It was very early, but the Atrium Inn had a room ready and we were able to bring our stuff in. After this, I realized I was STARVING and we went to eat. There was a place across the road where everything was under ten dollars so we checked it out before I passed out from starvation. Lunch, well… brunch, was alright and after this I headed straight for bed and slept for several hours.
The next day the four of us trekked up to Grouse Mountain. I did want to see the Capilano Suspension bridge, but someone looked it up and it was quite expensive, so we postponed that to another visit. The day was beautiful and clear so on the ride to the top we could see everything!
There were a lot of things to do at the top including seeing bears, wolves, watching the lumberjack show, just looking around at the ah-mazing views everywhere. We ended up spending a good portion of the entire day there.
Friday was show prep day! We needed a lot of things and spent all day running around and setting up at the PNE forum. Set up went really well, by the end of the day I felt like this was the most prepared we had ever been for a show, but I think that is partially due to the fact that we couldn't go back to our house after set up and continue getting things ready etc.
Saturday morning we woke up, had breakfast at the hotel and headed over to the PNE building.
This was RIGHT across the street so it was really REALLY convenient. We didn't have to drive at all, just walked over and managed to not take up any of the parking. As soon as the doors opened there were a lot of people roaming around. The whole first day was an absolute mad house, trying to answer questions and give each customer the attention they deserved. Our self-striping rainbow yarn, Psychedelic Onyx, sold out in 2 hours. There were a lot of people doing the 'first lap'. I always do this at shows to prevent me from buying EVERYTHING! I tried to warn everyone I could that we only brought limited stock to the show. There is always next time though. Everyone LOVED the pattern markers; they were a really big hit.
I didn't really manage to talk to a lot of other vendors or people that were teaching because I was so busy, but I will tell you more about day two of the show next post! There is plenty more to tell!

Hey, I'm looking for information on the problem with purchasing cordless or corded drills and after using it couple times or even not at all the chuck is wobbling. This is a very frustrating problem since I have two drills at home with wobbling chucks and my drill at work is wobbling as of today. I would like recommendations on brands that do not have this problem and brands to avoid. I originally had a Craftsman and had no problem in this area. Would you agree that Craftsman is a good quality drill? If not then what is a quality good drill? I would also like to know the best drill bits to buy.
No announcement yet.

Re: Wobbling chucks
Ridgid, DeWalt, Makita, Panasonic, Bosch and Milwaukee are a few of the companies that make quality drills. A drill from any of them should not have the problem you've been experiencing.I decided to change calling the bathroom the "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Re: Wobbling chucks
I have not done a search, but I seem to remember there has been at least one thread here about problems with wobbling chucks on Ridgid drills. Not sure buying one of your listed 'premium' brands is a guarantee.
However, if I remember correctly, the problem is with the chuck, and not with the drill itself, so if you should have a problem, you could just buy a replacement chuck.
I know; warranty ... take it back. I've never noticed a problem with any of my drills (probably not looked close enough), but if I had a 'quality' problem on any tool, I would think twice about buying from them again. I don't care about a warranty, I want something I never have to worry about.
I used to buy US cars. 3 of 3 spent a lot of time in the shop. Often, and sometimes for a long time (5 weeks for a car with <1000 miles). All under Warranty. I now buy Japanese, Of my last 3 cars I think I took one in for a radio problem; otherwise nothing done under warranty (or out of warranty). the US cars were cheaper, but guess which I will buy next.

Re: Wobbling chucks
I have Makita, Bosch, Dewalt and notice that all of them are not perfectly true. Pisses me off.
Re: Wobbling chucks
I only have older drills and most are corded. The only problem I had was that one of them came with a cheepo chuck. That got replaced and no more troubles. I wonder if with the drills that do have this issue if it's just poor quality chucks, or if there is spindle wobble. I personally would buy a really good replacement chuck and try it. Then if there's still a problem, the tool would go off for repairs. Anymore it sure seems that tool companies are trying to save money and thus are junking up their products one way or another.
Note: The good replacement chuck would be removed any time the drill(s) go in for service. This way the repair shop never knows about it.Last edited by Woussko; 04-17-2008, 01:54 AM.

Re: Wobbling chucks
Craftsman quality is a gamble. They don't make powertools. They subcontract other companies and put their names on it. Their current cordless tools are made by TTI and most are virtually identical copies of Ryobi tools. That said those tools are a good value but not necessarily the most durable and best built. Certainly not the most powerful by any means. On the flip side I have some older Craftsman corded drills that rebranded dewalt drills and are still kicking 15 years later.

Jess Moulson is convicted of murder. But it's a murder she can't remember committing. Nothing is quite clear from the drug-fuelled night when a blaze set in Jess' apartment killed the little boy upstairs. But when the media brands her a child killer, she starts to believe it herself.
Now she's on her way to Fellside, the biggest, most formidable women's prison in Europe, standing in the bleak Yorkshire moors.
But Jess won't be alone in her prison cell. Lurking in the shadows is an unexpected visitor...the ghost of the 10-year-old boy she killed. He says he needs her help - and he won't take no for an answer.
©2016 M. R. Carey (P)2016 Hachette Audio
"Haunting, heartbreaking." (Vogue on The Girl with All the Gifts)
"As fresh as it is terrifying." (Joss Whedon on The Girl with All the Gifts)
"A masterpiece." (Sun on The Girl with All the Gifts)
"Scary, tense and fast-paced...but with a heart-warming tenderness." (Marie Claire on The Girl with All the Gifts)
"If you only read one novel this year, make sure it's this one, it's amazing." (Martina Cole on The Girl with All the Gifts)
"Genre-Hopping Mystery Drama"
With Fellside M R Carey has attempted something very ambitious. The story genre-hops considerably before settling very much into a paranormal mystery. Imagine Prison Break as a setting for Luke Smitherd's Physics of the Dead with some meaty courtroom drama popping up along the way and then a full paranormal mystery drama emerging. The plot becomes much more subtle than it first appears which requires considerable scene setting before the momentum builds towards a quite gripping ending.
Given where the majority of the book is set it's no surprise that the violence is hard and uncompromising. It's made even starker by the fact that much of it involves women as either the perpetrators or victims or indeed both!
I don't think everyone will be entirely convinced that the whole thing works. There did seem to be an incongruence between some facets of the story. The "fresh" innocence of the ghost did not feel genuinely convincing to me when set against the bleak backdrop of tough characters and their desperate plight. It didn't quite sit right particularly through the middle of the book.
The acid test though was passed for me as I cared what happened to these characters, not just Jess, right up until the end. Throughout the book there are some powerful scenes but it's the last third that really demands attention if you can accept the paranormal premises that are put forwards.
Finty Williams is a classy narrator and a good story teller. If she struggled with anything it was in not quite being able to carry the threat of the nastier of the characters with full conviction. Other than that she carries off a difficult task with a very enjoyable performance.
In summary this is a deep book which ambitiously attempts to cover multiple genres. I think it just about pulls it off and the plot contains a number of genuine and in some cases quite subtle surprises. The way it mixes the genres might be unsettling for some but I think it's well worth investing in.
"An awesome ghost story"
It keeps you guessing and has some great visual set pieces. the characters are believable and each emotional experience they go through you feel as if you're there with them.
"I story that keeps you guessing"
Firstly the genre of the book confused me, but the story was engaging, I couldn't stop listening. That also has something to do with the narrator, who I found to be amazing.
"thoroughly enjoyed throughout"
great story, good characters, nicely written, nicely read, better than girl with all the gifts. thank you for the entertainment.
"Good way to spend some hours"
Nothing really stands out about this book. It is interesting enough to keep you entertained but it is all rather vanilla. Not a patch on Girl With All The Gifts.
The story revolves around a female prison involving the usual cliched characters - tough guys, corrupt wardens, gang leaders etc. There is as slight supernatural twist to the story but if you did away with it only a minor re-write would be required to straighten the plot out. The supernatural theme is really just the bait to get you in to the book.
I feel conflicted by this book and the need to review it.
What I enjoyed about the book: it was well written, the narration is good, and the idea is new(ish), or rather, it's a different take on the supernatural world of ghosts than I've previously read.
What I didn't enjoy: occasionally, the plot was a little tenuous or convenient for the author; it wasn't a very uplifting read/listen.
I was left feeling a little bit hollow by this book. Just like "Girl with all the Gifts", there is no happy ending where our heroine conquers all. But equally, with this story, what other ending could there be, and still be "realistic"? It's a brutal story, very little positive going on, and the imagery is stark.
Certainly, it was well written and narrated. And if you're a fan of MR Carey, and/or this genre, then it's worth a punt. I will probably buy the next MR Carey book too, but I'll be sure to have a good, uplifting, humour-filled story standing by to pick me up afterwards.....
"Tense and violent supernatural thriller"
There's lots of different types of story going on here but it's very enjoyable overall. It didn't go where I expected at all although one big reveal is so obvious that I found myself getting a bit irritated with the main protagonist for not figuring it out. In retrospect, we have more information than she does so jt gets a bye.
Actually not too much graphic violence but I'm not good with sort of thing so there was one bit I to listen to at double speed to lessen the impact.
I really enjoyed Finty Williams' narration; she has a very natural way of speaking. She doesn't really attempt accents which is fine and far better than doing them distractingly badly.
"Challenging to Listen To."
Loved the 'The Girl With All The Gifts' and looked forward to listening to a different book by this author. My experience when listening, although uncomfortable at times, the story certainly kept my attention going especially with the wonderful voice of Finty Williams. A book that gives you lots of pauses for thought when you are put into the shoes of someone else. There were some faults with the story itself, as it works hard to mix different genres together.
"mixed feelings"
good in parts, but some sections of the book, especially the chapters when they enter the 'other world' didn't do it for me
interesting bits were the court room scenes and goings on within the prison. the whole, ghost , dream. afterlife felt inaccurately described and poorly thought. not in keeping with the rest of the book.
"loved it"
Hooked straight away and all the way to the end. Would recommend. Looking forward to another
"Took me a while to get into it..."
...but once it gripped, Fellside never let go again. This is one of those books that you simply can't forget.
Definitely not more of The Girl with all the Gifts, even though Fellside shares a narrator with that book. But more than enough thought-provoking ideas. The characters are vivid, without being too detailed, and overall the book felt like a truly satisfying story.
"Finty Williams is superb"
I originally got this book because the collaboration of Williams and M R Carey in The Girl with All the Gifts was fantastic. The suspense made me stop whatever I was doing.
In Fellside Williams's voice was equally captivating. My mind wandered at some of the "dark side" descriptions that just seemed to go on... but overall the story was fascinating and I loved all the characters.

Many yoga studios offer community classes at a discounted rate. These classes are often at off-peak hours, so you will need a flexible schedule for this one. Community centers, university extension programs, YMCAs, and gyms are also places where yoga may be offered for less. The quality of the teaching will vary quite a bit, so it's best to go with a teacher you already know, or at least make sure the teacher is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with the Yoga Alliance. In warm weather, it gets easier to find free yoga classes in parks and other outdoor spaces. Donation-based studios are also becoming more prevalent in cities. Do a Google search to find one near you.

By committing to a class card good for 10 or 20 yoga classes, you can save some real money. Most studios offer a substantial discount on class cards, which can bring the price of a class down to as low as $10. You will need to have the money up-front for the class card and be a regular student to ensure that you attend all the classes you have paid for before your card expires.

Two dollars for a mat and a dollar for bottled water may not seem like a lot, but it will quickly add up over time. With yoga mats available for purchase for a little as $20, it doesn't take a math whiz to figure out how many rentals it takes to equal your very own mat (uh, 10?), which, by the way, will also be a lot cleaner than a communal studio mat. And carrying your own water from home not only saves money but helps reduce waste too.

The truly broke, such as students and the unemployed, need yoga too! Those with flexible schedules (i.e., more time than money) can often trade work for classes at yoga studios, especially if they have been regulars in the past. This type of work, called karma yoga, may include simple cleaning, front desk work, carpentry, publicity, or graphic design, so you might even get something for your resume out of it. Don't be shy about asking your studio if they do karma yoga; many studios are more than happy to trade classes for services they value.

Doing yoga at home along with a video or audio download is definitely more cost-effective than attending classes, though the trade-offs are boredom and missing out on the advice of a teacher. You can even find free yoga videos and audio on the web (search "free yoga"). If you go this route, try to treat yourself to a class every few weeks to keep yourself inspired and on the right track.

It may have been eight years since Steve Wariner released a vocal album, but that doesn't mean the award-winning, chart-topping singer/songwriter/guitarist been on vacation. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
In 2009, Wariner released My Tribute to Chet Atkins, which included the GRAMMY-winning "Producer's Medley." Wariner went on to release the instrumental Guitar Laboratory two years later. All the while, he never stopped writing.
"Over those seven or eight years I've been writing a lot, which I always do," he told Radio.com. "I write, write, write and tuck them away or pitch whatever."
Wariner, who was signed to RCA by Atkins himself back in the 1970s, has released dozens of singles throughout his career, including such hits as "Holes in the Floor of Heaven," "Life's Highway," "I Got Dreams," and "All Roads Lead to You." He's also written songs for other artists, including Keith Urban, Clint Black and Garth Brooks.
Wariner's latest effort, It Ain't All Bad, which was released Tuesday (Sept. 10), features 12 tracks, all of which Wariner had a hand in writing.
"These are songs that I really felt were tailor-written for me," he said. "That's what this album is. It's just a collection of my favorites and I think some of my best writing in several years."
It Ain't All Bad includes poignant ballad "I Want To Be Like You," which Wariner wrote with Bill Anderson and Tom Shapiro. Anderson came up with the idea for the song, which is from the perspective of a father looking at his son grow and seeing all the beautiful things in his child. Something Wariner could relate to having two sons of his own, he said the idea was very realistic for him.
Wariner said most of his songs are written from a real personal perspective.
"It's something in my life, something that's happened to me, something that I know about. Honestly, I think any writer's best work comes from what they really experience or what they're going through at the time," he said. "You could probably follow writers and you know what they're going through in their world because of what they're saying. If you just put it all together and connected the dots it's their life."
"It's Called a Brand New Day" was written shortly after his mother passed away. A difficult topic to write about, the track itself is not necessarily a sad song.
"It's a really hard-driving, rock-and-rolling country song," Wariner said. "If you listen to the lyrics, I'm coming out of the darkness, and I'm here to play. I thought it was a nice little twist that it wasn't a downer song."

Paula T. Dow, Attorney General
of Criminal Justice
- Stephen J. Taylor, Director
Peter Aseltine
Man Pleads Guilty to First-Degree Racketeering
in Gang-Related Murder in New Brunswick
In 2008
– Attorney General Paula T. Dow and
Criminal Justice Director Stephen J. Taylor
announced that a member of the Nine Trey
Headbustas set of the Bloods street gang
has pleaded guilty to racketeering for his
role in a gang-related murder in New Brunswick
in 2008.
to Director Taylor, Davon Parker, 22, of
Edison, pleaded guilty late Friday, Nov.
19, to first-degree racketeering before
Superior Court Judge Kevin G. Callahan in
Hudson County. In pleading guilty, Parker
admitted that, acting on behalf of the gang,
he assisted co-defendants Syree Hakins and
Tyrane Mathis in the murder of fellow gang
member Devin Thompson, 19, who was fatally
shot on Nichol Avenue in New Brunswick on
June 2, 2008. Parker admitted that he assisted
in planning and carrying out the shooting.
Murder charges are pending against Hakins
and Mathis. Thompson's friend Christopher
Whitsett was shot in the back but survived.
the plea agreement, the state will recommend
that Parker be sentenced to 12 to 15 years
in state prison. He must serve 85 percent
of the sentence imposed without possibility
of parole under the No Early Release Act.
Parker is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb.

iPhone 5 Release Scheduled for Second Week of October As Apple Blocks Vacations?
According to a new report published by AppleInsider, Apple has blocked vacations for its retail employees during the second week of October. This has lead many to speculate that Apple's iPhone 5 will go on sale around October 15th.
In order to prepare for an influx of customers during major product or software launches the company generally starts blocking vacations in order to cater to customer demands.
More specifically, the iPhone maker has in some locations blacked out vacation time for employees from October 9th through 12th and October 14th through 15th, according to people familiar with the matter.
We recently highlighted another report which suggested that the company had instructed AppleCare call centers to be prepared to handle an increased number of calls around October 10th. Apple could be looking at making iOS 5 available to users before iPhone 5 hits the stores in order to give some gap between two major releases. The Cupertino, Californai-based company followed similar trend when it launched iOS 4 on June 21st and iPhone 4 on June 24th.
The move to block out vacations from October 9th through 12th and October 14th through 15th strongly suggests that we could see iOS 5 release before iPhone 5 goes on sale.
It is widely believed that iPhone 5 will feature 8 megapixel camera, A5 processor, 1GB RAM and an all-new design with tapered edges.
Are you excited about iPhone 5 launch? Will you be upgrading your iPhone 4? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
{via AppleInsider}
Yep! I'm pretty sure I'll upgrade!

Running Remote Applications
The -display option allows a single application to display remotely, but what about an entire desktop? It is possible to start a graphical login remotely over XDMCP using the Xnest or Xephyr X servers. These servers act like application windows on your local display but connect to the remote display manager (GDM) to offer up a graphical login. GNOME doesn't include these servers, and on most Linux distributions, they are likely not installed by default. However, if you do a quick search of your distribution's software repositories, you should find packages similar to these Fedora-specific packages: xorg-x11-server-Xephyr and xorg-x11-server-Xnest.
After installation, the servers can be run manually to connect to a remote system:
Xnest :10 -query <host-with-gdm-configured> -geometry 1024x768 Xephyr -query <host-with-gdm-configured> -screen 1024x768 :1
Experiments with both shows that Xephyr (Figure 2), the more modern and more actively developed of the two, was more stable. Unfortunately, logging out of a session prevented further connections. That may be because GDM was configured to allow only a single session from a remote system and may be fixed with additional research into GDM configuration. In these tests, however, the only solution was to restart GDM on the remote host.
XDMCP via GDM acts as a conduit for remote applications to display on a local machine. This means it does not control remote desktops. In fact, there doesn't need to be anyone logged in to the remote system at all, although GDM does need to be running. Because it doesn't take control of an existing X session remotely, it is possible to have a different display size on the local display. For example, if the remote system provides only a display resolution of 800x600, it still would be possible to display at 1024x768 on the local display using a Xephyr and a GDM/XDMCP-managed connection. It also means you can use different desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, Xfce or others) for the remote and locally displayed sessions.
XDMCP Pros and Cons
Uses native X11 functionality.
Easy to configure via GDM.
Convenient for use behind a firewall.
Separate X server session.
Does not support video or audio.
Insecure protocol (clear-text passwords under XDMCP; considered a security issue in business environments).
Native protocol means it's not compatible with non-Linux native desktops.
By far, the easiest of the three methods for remote application display is to use SSH. SSH is the secure shell, a tool for connecting to remote systems using encrypted communications. Linux systems use the open-source OpenSSH implementation of SSH. This package offers X11Forwarding, a configurable option in the server and client (the SSH server and client) that end users utilize with the -X command-line option.
SSH uses a client/server architecture. The server side is the remote system, and the client is the local system (the configuration that we normally think of as client/server and the opposite of X). The remote server must be configured to allow X11 forwarding. This is done by enabling the X11Forwarding option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
... AcceptEnv LANG LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE AcceptEnv LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES AcceptEnv LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE AcceptEnv LC_MEASUREMENT LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_ALL LANGUAGE #AllowAgentForwarding yes #AllowTcpForwarding yes #GatewayPorts no X11Forwarding yes ...
X11 forwarding also can be enabled on a per-user basis in this file by placing the X11Forwarding option after a user specification:
... Match User bilbobaggins X11Forwarding no ...
These changes will not take affect until the SSH server is restarted. If your distribution provides it, the service command is the easiest way to do this:
sudo service sshd restart
The client-side configuration, found in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, requires enabling the Forward11Trusted option. This is enabled by default on Fedora systems, although other distributions may require the option to be enabled manually:
... ForwardX11Trusted yes ...
Note that the location of the SSH client and server configuration files may vary with different Linux distributions. Consult the OpenSSH package for your distribution to find the configuration files.
Once the server and client sides are configured for SSH, a user can use X11Forwarding by adding the -X option to an SSH login. The -X option passes the required DISPLAY information to remote applications, which automatically open on the local display. Note that using SSH X11Forwarding means the remote application should not use the -display option nor should the DISPLAY environment variable be set. SSH will take care of all of that automatically.
SSH X11Forwarding does not require the remote machine to be running GDM or an X server. This means remote systems can be run in headless mode, which means they have no display at all. Instead, users log in remotely using ssh -X, run graphical applications on the remote system and have them display locally. This places far less load on the remote system than using the GDM-based remote application display.
Although in most instances, you will need to have an X server installed on the remote system, because most X applications, which are on the remote system, will need the associated X libraries, and most package managers will end up installing the entire X server to provide them:
ssh -X <remote host> # login to remote host succeeds... xterm -geometry 80x50
NX server
On the site of the Dutch MandrivaClub (www.mandrivaclub.nl) I also read very positive reviews about FreeNX. Much faster than vnc.
Dana, you are right. NX shouldn't be ignored.
Arvi Pingus
NX server
Having tried most of these methods I stumbled on NX by NoMachines. It does have some advantages over most remote desktop in that it has very good performance, if fact some applications that normally, due to poor performance are usable over a WAN or VPN. I know it's closed source but the company has released much of their code to the open source project called freeNX. I have done about 6 months of testing along with user testing/feedback and have had great success using NX. It also handles multimedia content (Haven't tried but it claims to) and using ssh along with compression so you get the advantages of secure ssh along with almost native performance.
Dana Wellen
BTW, I don't work for or have any connection to NoMachines but NX seams to get ignored often.

Despite all the bad news that has been coming out of Greece over the last few years, it's still one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Tourists looking for a little culture and sun have been flocking there since Grand Tours become popular in the 17th century. Now Athens has a new hotel that offers visitors a modern take on an ancient culture.
The aptly named New Hotel was opened by Dakis Joannou (one of the most influential art patrons of our time) and forms part of the YES! Hotel chain. Iasonas Rizos first designed the building the hotel finds itself in during the 50's. Joannou approached Brazilian heavyweight designers Humberto and Fernando Campana to update the space for the now and integrate pieces of his own art collection that he has very generously decided to give to guests to enjoy. In typical Campana style, the duo injected the hotel with a fresh dose of fun. They roughly divided the 79 rooms into three categories inspired by Greek culture; Greek shadow theater (AKA Karagiozis), the evil eye, and old Athens. The first theme was explored using beautiful paper-cutouts of puppets hung on walls. The second sees walls covered in evil eyes, for those wanting and extra strength metaphysical protection. And the third used old postcards to evoke the spirit of yesteryear. The furniture in New Hotel is a hodgepodge of taken from collectors and made on site with the help of students from University of Thessaly.
The New Hotel is exactly what Athens needed, a breath of fresh air in a city that can too easily be seen to be living in the past. Whilst the Campana Brothers may be decidedly Brazilian, they have translated their aesthetic to create a space that makes most sense in Greece.

Moneysupermarket.com have published a helpful table (scroll to the end of the webpage) comparing UK iPhone 4 deals, in order of total cost over the contract period.
Tesco seem the cheapest.
Not that I'm necessarily rushing to get one myself.
I'm not normally an Apple person. Their admittedly very clever marketing and ingenious brand imaging haven't succeeded yet in winning me over as I'm don't care that much about fashion and I don't like Apple's over-controlling and locked down approach, which takes away users' own power and control - from the way iTunes was originally DRM'd to the hilt (despite the availability of some iTunes files now in non-DRM form), to Apple's insistence on vetting all third party developer iPhone and iPad apps to their own arbitrary moralistic and possibly monopolistic criteria (as witness what happened initially with Simon Maddox's excellent and consumer-championing 0870 app) and taking an unreasonably long time to do it in too, to their refusal to support Flash (e.g. for viewing YouTube videos), and effectively trying to stop cross-platform mobile development. I think the US were right to start anti-trust probes into Apple.
But, having tried a friend's (older model) iPhone, whose soft onscreen keyboard is much more accurate and faster to use than the Android G1's soft keyboard, and having seen the huge range of iPhone apps available for free or at very reasonable prices, I have to say I'm just a little bit tempted…

token ring - Computer Definition
A local area network (LAN) technology invented in 1967 by Swedish inventor Olof Soderblom (1940
A local area network (LAN) access method developed by IBM. Conforming to the IEEE 802.5 standard, Token Ring uses a token ring access method and connects up to 255 nodes in a star topology at 4, 16 or 100 Mbps. All stations connect to a central wiring hub called the "Multistation Access Unit" (MAU) using twisted wire cable. Today, most all Token Ring business networks have migrated to Ethernet. Different than Ethernet The Token Ring MAU may be a central hub, but does not function like a shared Ethernet hub. The Token Ring method is more deterministic and ensures that all users get regular turns at transmitting their data. With Ethernet, all users compete to get onto the network. Type 1 and Type 3 Type 1 Token Ring networks allow up to 255 stations per network and use shielded twisted pair wires with IBM style Type 1 connectors. Type 3 Token Rings allow up to 72 devices per network and use unshielded twisted pair (Category 3, 4 or 5) with RJ-45 connectors. Like Ethernet, Token Ring is a data link protocol (MAC layer protocol) and functions at layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model. See data link protocol and OSI.

Do you feel like you spend so much time trying to grow your client list but you aren't bringing in the revenue to show for all your efforts? You may be wasting a lot of energy courting the wrong customer.
Many fledgling entrepreneurs make the mistake of trying to make everyone their customer. Motivated to grow their business quickly, they fear turning any business away so are too general and don't take the time to define and target their ideal customer.
I see this in every kind of business from coaching to retail to service. In fact, I just heard a story this morning about a young woman who in an attempt to build a Mary Kay business, held a party for all her friends, college students who are mostly on financial aid. No one at the first party purchased except the host who received a huge discount. But the representative wanted to build her customer list so she asked each of the girls attending to host a party. The idea is for each of them to bring in other friends who will purchase and bring their friends who will refer their friends and become repeat customers. But, if none of them purchased at the first party and they each have a party to get the free hostess gifts she is going to waste more time and effort doing several more presentations to the same girls who will do nothing to grow her business. She's wasting energy wooing the wrong client.
I saw this in my own businesses as well. Years ago I studied massage and wanted to grow a practice quickly so gave discount coupons to everyone I knew in hopes that some would become regular clients. Thinking I should practice all the different bodywork I had learned, I would do whatever type of massage the client wanted. What I saw very quickly was that many of them enjoyed the massage but couldn't afford weekly or even monthly bodywork. Then I sat down and wrote out criteria for my ideal client. I decided to specialize in one modality and only target clients who could benefit from upper body, neck and shoulder work and who could afford to pay for the work regularly. Then I made a list of people I knew who either fit that profile or who were in a position to refer my target client. Rather than offer discount coupons, I gave this targeted group gift certificates for a free session. Instead of attracting clients who were only taking advantage of a free or discounted service, these were chiropractors, physicians and people with the means to pay and refer. By putting my time and effort into targeting a very specific profile rather than courting everyone, I very quickly built up a thriving practice.
When I opened a gallery of contemporary american craft in a tourist town, I realized that the majority of people walking down the street patronized the shops that sold souvenirs and imported nicknacks. I quickly learned that only a small percentage of the visitors either valued or would pay for handmade items. I knew in order to make it, I would have to adjust my inventory to appeal to at least twenty percent of the foot traffic. I could have started carrying chinese knock-offs and thus brought in more customers but I had made a commitment to support American crafts people. Also, if I carried the same old trinkets everyone else did, I would appeal to a larger population but what would differentiate me from the other shops in town? So, I made the decision to stay focused on a specific client and added in some more affordable pieces that were still handmade and continued to target the customer who would refer and return. Yes, I missed eighty percent of the foot traffic but the twenty percent who I did reach were my ideal client and became loyal, long-term customers.
If you're you working too hard to be everything to everyone and finding it frustrating and unprofitable, ask yourself the following questions about your client list:
Can most of them afford to pay you fairly for your product or service?
Do they come in regular contact, either in person or virtually, with others who are your ideal client?
Are they people you enjoy working with who will tell their friends or clients about you?
Will they become long-term repeat clients?
Are they likely to purchase other products or services you offer in the future?
If you answered no to any of the above questions, you are courting the wrong client. Stop and make a list of the qualities your ideal client possesses and then figure out how you can reach those people. If you stop trying to reach the eighty percent who won't become long-term paying clients, you'll find the twenty percent you do target will bring in the majority of your income.

Wills Canyon is the main canyon within the Ventura River/Rancho El Nido Preserve, owned by the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy.   Wills Canyon is a wooded, broad canyon with a small, intermittent creek that drains the south slope of the eastern portion of the Santa Ynez Mountains, and feeds the Ventura River.   The stream in Wills Canyon flows eastward. Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia var. agrifolia) is the dominant tree in this canyon, and represents what much of the Ojai Valley may have looked like before the valley was developed for agriculture and housing.   Snowberry (Symphoricarpos mollis) and Western Poison Oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum) are the primary understory plants of the Coast Live Oak Woodland.

Well Kate I know you will probably give me hell for this picture but first you must hear the story.....A friend of mine whom I work with was gettin a divorce, and his wife was waiting for him in our parking lot after work one day, and they got in a big fight right then and there, and she pulle a bunc of stuff out of his car, which also included some negatives, she then proceded to through them on the ground and step on them. I assume she was trying to destroy them, well after they left I picked them up and had them reprinted, and this was on there. I had to send it because I think she has a great set of funbags. So thats the reason for the spots on it. So just enjoy it instead of shooting it down. OK No Names please

* CHAPTER 1 *Beautiful as the DayThe house was three miles from the station, but before the dusty hired fly had rattled along for five minutes the children began to put their heads out of the carriage window and to say, "Aren't we nearly there?" And every time they passed a house, which was not very often, they all said, "Oh, is this it?" But it never was, till they reached the very top of the hill, just past the chalk quarry and before you come to the gravel pit. And then there was a white house with a green garden and an orchard beyond, and Mother said, "Here we are!""How white the house is," said Robert. "And look at the roses," said Anthea."And the plums," said Jane. "It is rather decent," Cyril admitted. The Baby said, "Wanty go walky"; and the fly stopped with a last rattle and jolt.Everyone got its legs kicked or its feet trodden on in the scramble to get out of the carriage that very minute, but no one seemed to mind. Mother, curiously enough, was in no hurry to get out; and even when she had come down slowly and by the step, and with no jump at all, she seemed to wish to see the boxes carried in, and even to pay the driver, instead of joining in that first glorious rush round the garden and the orchard and the thorny, thistly, briery, brambly wilderness beyond the broken gate and the dry fountain at the side of the house. But the children were wiser, for once. It was not really a pretty house at all; it was quite ordinary, and Mother thought it was rather inconvenient, and was quite annoyed at there being no shelves, to speak of, and hardly a cupboard in the place. Father used to say that the ironwork on the roof and coping was like an architect's nightmare. But the house was deep in the country, with no other house in sight, and the children had been in London for two years, without so much as once going to the seaside even for a day by an excursion train, and so the White House seemed to them a sort of fairy palace set down in an earthly paradise. For London is like prison for children, especially if their relations are not rich.Of course there are the shops and the theatres, and Maskelyne and Cook's, and things, but if your people are rather poor you don't get taken to the theatres, and you can't buy things out of the shops; and London has none of those nice things that children may play with without hurting the things or themselves--such as trees and sand and woods and waters. And nearly everything in London is the wrong sort of shape--all straight lines and flat streets, instead of being all sorts of odd shapes, as things are in the country. Trees are all different, as you know, and I am sure some tiresome person must have told you that there are no two blades of grass exactly alike. But in streets where the blades of grass don't grow, everything is like everything else. This is why so many children who live in towns are so extremely naughty. They do not know what is the matter with them, and no more do their fathers and mothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, tutors, governesses, and nurses; but I know. And so do you now. Children in the country are naughty sometimes, too, but that is for quite different reasons.The children had explored the gardens and the outhouses thoroughly before they were caught and cleaned for tea, and they saw quite well that they were certain to be happy at the White House. They thought so from the first moment, but when they found the back of the house covered with jasmine, all in white flower, and smelling like a bottle of the most expensive scent that is ever given for a birthday present; and when they had seen the lawn, all green and smooth, and quite different from the brown grass in the gardens at Camden Town; and when they had found the stable with a loft over it and some old hay still left, they were almost certain; and when Robert had found the broken swing and tumbled out of it and got a lump on his head the size of an egg, and Cyril had nipped his finger in the door of a hutch that seemed made to keep rabbits in, if you ever had any, they had no longer any doubts whatever.The best part of it all was that there were no rules about not going to places and not doing things. In London almost everything is labeled "You mustn't touch," and though the label is invisible it's just as bad, because you know it's there, or if you don't you jolly soon get told.The White House was on the edge of a hill, with a wood behind it--and the chalk quarry on one side and the gravel pit on the other. Down at the bottom of the hill was a level plain, with queer-shaped white buildings where people burnt lime, and a big red brewery and other houses; and when the big chimneys were smoking and the sun was setting, the valley looked as if it was filled with golden mist, and the limekilns and oasthouses glimmered and glittered till they were like an enchanted city out of the Arabian Nights.Now that I have begun to tell you about the place, I feel that I could go on and make this into a most interesting story about all the ordinary things that the children did--just the kind of things you do yourself, you know--and you would believe every word of it; and when I told about the children's being tiresome, as you are sometimes, your aunts would perhaps write in the margin of the story with a pencil, "How true!" or "How like life!" and you would see it and very likely be annoyed. So I will only tell you the really astonishing things that happened, and you may leave the book about quite safely, for no aunts and uncles either are likely to write "How true!" on the edge of the story. Grown-up people find it very difficult to believe really wonderful things, unless they have what they call proof. But children will believe almost anything, and grown-ups know this. That is why they tell you that the earth is round like an orange, when you can see perfectly well that it is flat and lumpy; and why they say that the earth goes round the sun, when you can see for yourself any day that the sun gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night like a good sun as it is, and the earth knows its place, and lies as still as a mouse. Yet I daresay you believe all that about the earth and the sun, and if so you will find it quite easy to believe that before Anthea and Cyril and the others had been a week in the country they had found a fairy. At least they called it that, because that was what it called itself; and of course it knew best, but it was not at all like any fairy you ever saw or heard of or read about.

By AARON HOLMES – Guest Writer
Coldplay, the British alternative-rock band, first became famous with the 2000 release of their smash hit Yellow. Ever since, they have voyaged to uncharted areas of the alternative music genre and redefined it again and again.
Coldplay's latest album, Mylo Xyloto, is no exception. Its throbbing harmonies and emotional lyrics speak to the listener's ear in a way that only a few groups do, and in a musical language in which few of today's musicians are fluent.
Mylo Xyloto is not only new territory for rock music, but also for Coldplay. Over time, the band has ventured from their signature acoustic guitar and piano combination to experiment with new mediums and new types of sound. From the full-orchestra glory of Paradise to the electronic drum beat of Up in Flames, Mylo Xyloto offers many new perspectives of the already-innovative Coldplay style.
The underground feel of Mylo Xyloto makes it easy to forget about the band's fame, but there was a fair amount of hype leading up to the new album. In addition to the anticipatory 10-day countdown on iTunes and the band's featured performance on Saturday Night Live, the band began touring in North America months prior to the album's release. Mylo Xyloto was a top-ten selling album on iTunes before it was even published. On the day of its release, Coldplay's performance in Madrid, Spain was streamed on YouTube to millions of excited fans worldwide.
However, Mylo Xyloto is not all perfection. Though the album is different from the band's prior works, it is difficult to distinguish the songs on the album from one another. There are a few songs that could be called great, but most songs are easily exchangeable.
One of these is Coldplay's collaboration song with pop-artist Rihanna, Princess of China. For some reason, the one song on the album featuring a different musician is to be the weakest. The repetitive anthem-beat, instead of being energetic or even catchy, quickly becomes tiresome. Perhaps Coldplay is best protected from dreary mainstream pop by confining itself to its own intricate style.
After listening to Mylo Xyloto in its entirety, one has a new idea of the definition of rock music, and a new outlook on music itself. The album is said to be inspired by New York graffiti and the energy of revolutions worldwide. When asked about the album's themes, lead singer Chris Martin said, "It's about love, addiction, OCD, escape and working for someone you don't like."
Despite its faults, the album is definitely one of Coldplay's finest. Mylo Xyloto's triumphant ballads inspire emotions ranging from melancholy to exuberant and speak a new musical language to the audience's soul.

This Is Not Your Government
There is no politician in the land responsive to the people. This is how Donald Trump gained the Republican nomination, because folks were fed up with calling their congressperson seeking redress only to be sold out as soon as the votes were counted. US citizens are not constituents in the normal vernacular, they are simply voters, you know, those folks who come around every two to four years and validate all of the larceny that has taken place in the past two to four years.
The trouble with voters is they don't have to be citizens (oh, technically yes, but realistically, NO). They don't have to pay taxes. They don't have to actually live in the United States, all they have to do is vote. If you do not vote the right way, the politicians can import other voters from, say, Mexico, Syria, etc and they will vote the way the politicians want. Why don't Republicans put their political lives on the line to build the wall at the border? Because if these Mexican voters vote for Hillary, they will be voting for the same sorts of things the Republican politicians want. What do you matter? You don't. They don't even want your vote, it is too hard to get and there are expectations that come with it. The new voters don't care. They just want things and the government they are voting for will give it to them. Of course, they will first have to take it from you, so as long as you work and pay taxes, you have done your part. Move along.
At what point do Americans call BS on this system? This is not your government. You are nothing but an ATM.
Of course, it is all our fault. The amount of people in this nation who can spell Constitution are few and far between. Most have never read the Bill of Rights, or even understand what a "right" is. A right, by the way, is something the rulers cannot take away from you. Put the Bill of Rights up against that test and see where you come out.
So, here we are: the government regularly and with specific intent violates the 4th Amendment. What are you going to do about it? They are listening to your phone calls, reading your emails, scanning your Facebook and other social media sites, all in the name of deterring terrorism, but they cannot even stop something like San Bernardino or Orlando. We have traded liberty for security and every warning we have ever been given has been ignored and the consequences are being suffered. It is common knowledge that the government is monitoring all of these aspects of our lives and it is met with a shrug. "Terrorism, what can you do?"
I reject that.
We, Americans, are about to be faced with this monstrosity head on. This election...is that what this is? On one side is a criminal, guilty of numerous crimes...crimes, not misbehavior, not belligerence, crimes, felonies and on the other side who knows? Some question mark, talking and talking and saying nothing. While these campaigns take place, the president, the ruler, the king of his own mind brandishes a pen and makes law with startling arrogance.
Who are we? Just people paying tuition, making a paycheck, cleaning the garage, paying taxes, buying groceries all the while knowing it is out of control, that we are held hostage to a government run amok.
Paying taxes? To what? For what? Simply to stay out of jail and for no other reason. How on earth can the 16th Amendment be binding when the 4th has been obliterated by the Patriot Act? How on earth can the 16th Amendment be binding when the 1st Amendment is under constant assault by political correctness?
We are Americans, are we not? Does that mean anything? Perhaps that is it, we are so segmented, categorized either voluntarily or involuntarily that our common bond has lost its adhesive. We are just random voters stumbling around until we get our chance to fulfill our purpose and vote. So, go ahead, vote, let me know if it changes anything.

If folks were so fed up,they would be voting out a good number of incumbents.Instead,Ryan,McCain,Rubio,etc skate thru their primaries,and "we" will re-elect 90% of the House and Senate as usual........

They have to beg for the scraps from the GOP's table and generally get shafted.
And if they do manage to win anyway, well, ask Ken Cuccinelli and Chris McDaniel how that works.

Sure money plays a part,BUT,if people were really fed up,they would vote all the incumbents (the ones that have been screwing us) out of office.Or at least more than 10% of them.Delete
I don't think fraud and corruption play that big of a part either.People are stupid and just keep voting the same shit right back in no matter what they do to us.
And many people think Trump will get a whole bunch accomplished,even though he will be working with the vast majority of people that brought us here (huge federal government with all it's laws/rules/regulations/etc..,and our huge spending problem,along with illegal immigration and all the other problems facing us.
The Tea Party changed a lot of faces in congress and the new faces are now the old rotten faces. They have tried the political solution and it didn't work, because Washington corrupts absolutely. That doesn't mean Trump didn't tap into something along the same lines as the Tea Party.Delete

I agree. Soon registration of all Christians will be required pending their eventual round up and incarceration. After that, anything could happen to them.

Problems without pragmatic solutions. Complaints without any resolve to action. Petitions, bumper stickers, egomaniacal "pundits", blogs and internet boards like this one with rants, raves, insults and ad hominems. For what? Venting?? Unless/until people with guts and brains actually take real, demonstrative action, it's nothing but bits, bytes and bullsh*t.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, Anonymous, courageous stance in remaining anonymous, by the way. You obviously don't know how much I have DONE, while writing this blog. I take action every day. But, as long as YOU remain commenting on BS blogs like this one, you are not part of the solution, but I am.Delete
TD Davis: I have informed since the late 70's, others longer. All we ever did was in vain-useless and many of us quit the fight because patriots have utterly failed over 60 years, first trying to inform others on the U.N. agenda, foreign entanglements, gov. education, etc. Get house in order, form bartering groups, get needed supplies; the good guys don't "always win" either, history shows. Yes we need to take action but it must come as a civil war with little chance of a good outcome. We have failed miserably because our parents didn't do enough to matter. I'm a retiree. Glad we never raised kids as America is without hope.Delete

THAT'S why Mahleur was the first defeat. When those folk did exactly that, everyone was busy analyzing how supposedly foolish it was...when it was really just about those folk, their property and what they chose to do about it.
The response to someone doing that shouldn't be yapping about how poorly they did it. It should be about doing it better. But that takes looking inward instead of outward.

Skip hours of internet research & book with Honeymoon Islands
I traveled extensively before getting married, and for our honeymoon, figured planning a trip to Moorea and Bora Bora would be no different. That was not the case! After reading extensive reviews, we decided it would be best to get help, so we could really relax and not worry about travel details after all of the hard work and stress that comes with planning a wedding. I contacted Teresa and could not be happier we did! She really listened to what we were looking for, weighed our options until we were comfortable, and made sure everything was very easy and carefree for us along the way.
Teresa's responsiveness was something that stuck out to me from our initial contact. This added to the level of comfort we already had with her and knew that when we booked with her, she would be available before, during, and after our travels. We did have a few questions (about flight upgrades) while we were away, and she got back to us immediately. That was huge for us because you already feel like you're lacking resources while traveling abroad and Teresa really went above and beyond to make us feel that extra level of comfort. Aside from comfort, she provided fantastic restaurant and activity recommendations based on what we were looking for in the trip.
We were ecstatic because she had traveled to both spots, been to the places she was recommending, and experienced the spots from different angles so she was well-versed in the area and provided thorough recommendations. We felt so good about booking with Honeymoon Islands, that we had them book another trip for us in January before we even left for our honeymoon! As you can see, we were very happy with our trip and who we used to book it. Moving forward, I will skip the hours of internet research and book with Honeymoon Islands - we are confident in all of their services.
