Ranked #1 B&B/Inn in North America and winner of Travelers' Choice 2010 award by Trip Advisor. Unwind and relax in the historic Rockland district of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Ideally located across the street from the Lieutenant Governor's mansion, near Craigdarroch Castle and the Art Gallery we are a five minute drive to all downtown Victoria's attractions, US ferries and four blocks to the ocean.
4.0 on July 27, 2016
Our three-day stay was excellent in every respect, and I will recommend Abbeymoore Manor Bed and Breakfast Inn to friends.

My wife and I booked fairly a last minute trip to Victoria and were lucky enough to find a room at the Abbeymore. It's a lovely spot, in a cute residential neighborhood with beautiful homes, but a short walk (~2.5 km) from the harbor. We stayed in one of their garden-level suites, which were all that were available on such short notice. The room was very clean and comfortable, and would be perfect for a longer stay as it had a full kitchen. Next time, I'll try to book earlier and stay in one of the more traditional rooms upstairs. Our hosts, Anne & Ian, were lovely. Very warm and welcoming, gave us a lay of the land, very responsive to anything we needed. The breakfasts were delicious and substantial, in a sunny room at the front of the house. The front porch was probably my favorite part, a great place to just relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the amazing Vancouver island weather. Thank you!

Oh yes, this is perfection in the hospitality industry. The owners know the meaning of customer service and they are there to please you in every way they can. This beautiful heritage building is well maintained in and out. It was dreamy to come back after a day's outing and walk up the idyllic path, past the flowers, to our suite on the bottom floor. The well-stocked kitchen allowed us to make a quick meal and dine in the comfort of our cozy living room. Everything was so impeccably clean. And the breakfasts, on my, just divine! Plus chocolate chunk cookies to enjoy in the afternoon and a glass of port to end the day in the grand living room. On cooler evenings, one has the option to sit beside the fire, all set up and ready to go with a light of the match. No detail overlooked here. Located in a safe neighborhood, it is a 25 minute walk to downtown. Street parking is available in addition to the lot beside the house.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in Victoria at Abbeymoore Manor. Anne and the whole staff was so welcoming, friendly and helpful during our quick stay--one of the staff helped us figure out the bus changes to get back and forth to Butchart Gardens. The whole feel of the Inn and our room was wonderful and we even had a heated bathroom floor (ok, now I want one in my house). The breakfast was great, without feeling we couldn't eat for another week. Abbeymoore has a bunch of open snacks and drinks which made us feel right at home. After staying at more than a dozen B&B's, mostly in the US, Abbeymoore is our favorite!!

We stayed at the Abbeymoore B&B in June 2016. We spent 4 nights and we were not disappointed. The rooms were very clean, well kept and inviting. The breakfasts in the morning were outstanding. The location of the Abbeymoore was very convenient for visiting the many attractions in and around Victoria. Finally the staff were excellent and very helpful with everything. I would highly recommend the Abbeymoore Manor. Thank you for a wonderful mini vacation. - Kevin & Lori Holland

Not just a mom and pop operation which provided very friendly service without being intrusive.

Stayed twice, once back in November 2015 and again this year for my birthday. The rooms and location are amazing, the service is outstanding, and the food is absolutely delicious. I'm not one to normally get up in time for breakfast, but I was always up a bit early to make sure I didn't miss out on whatever special the chef was cooking up that day. Can't say enough good things! -John

We stayed at Abbeymoore Manor about seven years ago and really enjoyed so much about our experience. Since then we tried a different B and B each year in Victoria but none compared. This year we went back to Abbeymoore because it is by far one of the best B and Bs to stay at. The owners have thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable from robes and book lights at the side of the bed to the freshly baked cookies and snacks that you can take away with you for the day. The breakfasts are a culinary delight and Ian and Anne go out of their way to make your stay memorable. The staff is always friendly and keen to answer questions, point you to local restaurants or suggest sights to see. This is one B and B that I would highly recommend.

My wife and I stayed at Abbeymoore over a long weekend and had a lovely time. The inn itself is a gorgeous home that is very well kept and beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable and big, with a huge and comfortable bed. The breakfasts each morning were fresh and delicious - homemade scones, fresh fruit and yogurt, omelettes, fritattas. But above all, Anne and Ian really made the stay extra enjoyable by their warm hospitality and willingness to go the extra mile to attend to our every need and make our stay wonderful.

We stayed for 5 nights in one of the garden suites. This heritage home was so charming, while modernized for comfort. Simply lovely. This home away from home was everything we hoped for and more. An incredible quiet beautiful historic area of Victoria. The breakfasts were like none I've ever had, incredible. The hosts and staff were so welcoming and kind and helpful. We walked a lot, as beautiful parks are close. The whole area/neighborhood was a pleasure to stroll through. Beautiful houses everywhere, with yards to match. Walked to restaurants two evenings for very nice dinners. Lovely veranda to spend some leisure time reading, having tea. Staying at Abbeymoore is an experience you don't want to miss out on.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
Russell Stone, a dweebish "nice guy," is teaching a course at Chicago's Mesquakie College of Art in "creative non-fiction," a genre formerly known as the "personal essay." His class consists of the usual assortment of art students of various ages with various goals, and, as they read their journal entries on successive class meetings, they soon become close. Thassadit Amzwar, a twenty-three-year-old Algerian Berber from Kabylie, however, quickly becomes the focus of the group for her perennial good humor and upbeat attitudes. Thassa has survived the ongoing Algerian Civil War, which began in 1991, supported by Islamist fundamentalists. An entry in her journal includes the discovery of her father's executed body after he wrote a letter to the newspaper challenging governmental policies, and it shocks the class, but it is her unconquerable good humor which leaves the longest-lasting impression on her classmates.
In Boston, Thomas Kurton, a pure scientist, is investigating the chemistry that underlies emotions and the genome which may be responsible for human happiness. Kurton believes that "aging is not just a disease; it's the mother of all maladies. And humankind may finally have a shot at curing it." The concept of deliberately "adjusting" the genome to produce happier, longer-living people with less disease, drives him relentlessly. Tonia Schiff, regarded as "America's most irreverent science television journalist," often features Kurton on her programs, "humanizing" him so that non-scientific viewers can identify with his discoveries. Back in Chicago, Russell Stone begins to wonder if Thassa's constant cheerfulness can be a sign of mental illness, and he contacts Candace Weld, an on-call college counselor, for insights. These three main plot lines converge when Kurton hears about Thassa and wants to map her genes, looking for the ephemeral "happiness gene" he believes she may have.
Powers writes a cerebral and challenging novel which incorporates much new science regarding the human genome, and his emphasis on provable data contrasts with the position of Russell Stone who is trying to free the minds of his students to their imaginations and creativity. The ethical questions that Powers raises regarding the effects of tinkering with the genome, and how one must redefine reality (and even the arts) in light of that are thought-provoking and get at the heart of the (threatened) values which have endured for thousands of years.
Though the characters sometimes give the impression that they have been created specifically to illustrate the non-fictional, scientific points the author wants to develop, and the plot sometimes wanders afield, the novel is both enlightening and absorbing for any reader who is curious about neuroscience. Filled with surprises, twists and turns in the plot, and an ending that feels a bit like a trick, this unusual and thought-provoking novel will entertain those interested in exploring the cutting edge of scientific investigation into the nature of humanity. Mary Whipple
Many fans, myself included, appreciate Richard Powers as a humanist who can artfully bridge his understanding of sciences into his fiction, as he did in Gold Bug Variations and Galatea 2.2: A Novel, for example. In his new novel, Generosity: An Enhancement, Powers explores issues entangled in genetic engineering, questions about what it means to be human and to be happy.
The principal characters are a young Algerian woman who appears happiness gifted, Thassadit Amzwar (Thassa), and her writing teacher at a fictional Chicago college ("Mesquakie"), Russell Stone. Based on just a few exposures to Thassa in his writing class Russell begins to worry that she is too happy, which he somehow perceives to put her at risk. He involves a college counselor, Candace Weld, who after a brief informal meeting assigns a diagnostic name to Thassa's condition, "hyperthymia." The plot proceeds along two main lines from there, as television personalities and bio-engineering entrepreneurs fasten on to Thassa to serve their own ends and as a romance between Russell and Candace inches along.
Powers brings in a fair amount of what psychologists, neuroscientists, and geneticists have to say these days about the causal correlates and manifestations of happiness. His chief vehicle is his fictional genomics entrepreneur, Thomas Kurton, who takes on Thassa as an object of study and potential profit. Kurton believes there are happiness genes and he advocates market access to them for parents who want to bestow such blessings upon their children.
Powers is more satirically critical of contemporary culture in Generosity than in his earlier works. In addition to over-reaching bio-engineers, he particularly targets mass communications: cell phones, blogs, streaming "news," "time shifting," "user generated" content, social networking sites, television news, science celebrity shows, the Oprah show, and more.
One other significant thing is going on in Generosity: Powers writes about writing. Interlocutions from an author character are staggered throughout. We are frequently reminded that it is just a story, that the author hasn't figured out yet what will happen, and that he cares about his characters. Remember too that Russell teaches (the course is "creative non-fiction"), so the class scenes and his assigned text ("Make Your Writing Come Alive") offer opportunities for further commentary on the enterprise of writing. One wonders whether this aspect reflects Powers' own doubts and concerns about the story he is constructing.
Powers has been criticized in the past for failing to fully animate his characters. Here Thassa might appear to rescue him from that charge. But it is never credibly demonstrated for us why people are so convinced of her elevated and persistent happiness almost immediately upon meeting her. For the most part we are simply told that they are. When Russell and Candace quickly become concerned about her they have insufficient evidence either that she has some sort of unique endowment or that she is exposed because of it. Consequently they become rather too frantic about Thassa's fate very early on when nothing was yet out of hand.
Russell himself is not the sort of dynamic protagonist that might ease the author's task. At one juncture we are told that, "He's forgotten exactly what subassembly of the collective human project he is responsible for, or when exactly it might be due," a characterization that seems applicable more or less throughout. Candace is the responsible adult, a consummate professional in her counseling work and a dutiful single mother. Powers writes that together Russell and Candace "... stand there awkwardly, two more victims of natural selection, caught between negativity bias and the eternal belief that the future will be slightly better than the present." As you might surmise, this hardly makes for a sizzling romantic relationship.
Most of the other characters basically represent stereotypes, particularly Kurton and Thassa's classmates. The most fully-realized may be Tonia Schiff, a television science journalist -- we learn enough about her upbringing and the changes she's gone through that she seems authentic, even if we may not like her. Russell's brother Robert makes only a few appearances, but delivers the funniest passages in the book.
Typically it is the fundamentals that carry good fiction, the plot and characters. With Powers it is more the intellectual superstructure. If you have read him before and enjoyed it you will likely find Generosity satisfying as well. If you are looking for some breakthrough in his writing you may be disappointed. If you are new to him, this book will show you how he works.
The book seems to condemn and love technology; a fair reflection of people's true beliefs. Russell wouldn't dream of owning a cell phone (afraid of technology or afraid of people calling him?), yet he sits for hours doing research over the internet and reading blog entries. Kurton sees the field of genetics as one that can improve the whole human race, while he himself is without a soul: why not improve your own life there, Tommy? Nobody wants to end up alone and depressed like Russell, yet the "hive-mind" of media-fueled spin is not to be desired either. Social network sites, 24-hour media and blogs enrich social connections people have, but at the same time, the anonymity and remoteness of those very vehicles cause people to have and express over-reaching opinions that are none of their business; they stick their nose where it doesn't belong. Generosity really makes the reader think of the implications-good and bad- that technology brings to our lives.
Even though I ended up enjoying Generosity, it took me until halfway through to "get into" it, and I have 2 big problems with this book:
The characters are not as fully developed as I hoped. Candace seems plastic, Tonia and Kurton are so self-absorbed and lack any sort of compassion to the point that they didn't seem human, and in EVERY scene, Russell is so overly weak and depressive (does he have Asperger's like his brother, I wonder?) that I found myself exasperated to the point of yelling, "UGH!! Grow a spine, willya!!!!" He's really an "all-or-nothing" (mostly "nothing") kind of guy that has to be pushed into any action. The only characters that seemed genuine and that I ended up caring about were Thassa and Gabe.
The metafictional style (where the author introduces something into the storyline to keep you aware you are reading fiction) Powers employed of randomly interjecting a first-person account of the plot/character development was really annoying and supremely confusing in the first half of the book. Sorry, but I don't really want to know how you envision the characters or came up with the storyline; I don't care for you to outright express your like or dislike of the people you create. Let the novel speak for itself. Having said that, about halfway through, those interruptions are brought to a minimum and are less of a distraction. And even though I didn't care for this style, the ending ties the main plotline and the author's opinions of his novel together brilliantly.
You know from the beginning that this is going to be one of those literary novels whose theme is "anything good in the world inevitably gets ruined." I've read that book too many times already. And the author evidently thinks he's doing something really cool and clever by commenting on his writing process within the book. News flash: It's been done before, and better--Pirandello's "Six Characters In Search of An Author" is almost a hundred years old. In my opinion, unless an author has something really unusual to offer by intruding into the story, s/he should stay out of the way and let the story do the talking. I think the story would have been strong enough on its own (if still kind of a downer) without the authorial self-insertion, but if Powers didn't have that much confidence in it, maybe he should have written another book.
Still, it's a well-written book and one I'm still thinking about, albeit with a high degree of irritation. What is happiness, anyway? For me, it's reading a story where the author stays offstage!

It's great! Shuttle bus is the best
Health & Safety:
Counseling services are the best!
There are zip cars but I don't use them. Otherwise, the Jitney is useful.
Overall Experience:
It is so cold and the people are shallow and self-involved. It is a suffocating environment.
Campus Quality:
Some of the buildings are pretty, too cold to notice.
Campus Quality:
Students are more interested in drinking than anything. I hate it.
Party Scene:
It's boring, monotonous, and dominated by Greek organizations who think they are cool. It bores me.
Off-Campus Dining:
I don't go off campus much for my food because I do not have a car on campus. I would like if there were more options for coffee, that would be nice.
There are a significant number of international students as well as a very public LGBT community. Overall, people here are generally accepting of racial diversity on campus, with the exception of a handful of individuals.
Party Scene:
The campus is generally open to whatever evening activities you might plan up, but it can take a little bit of effort to not a party broken up every two hours. The bars downtown are homey and fantastic for getting bombed. Underage kids have a relatively easy time getting in. Some large dorms are known for having parties, people are known to have bonfires at around the glen, and access to illicit substances is essentially unrestricted. The administration periodically feigns an effort to restrict the nightlife, but Hamilton has traditionally had a very strong group of socially active students.The administration is eliminating off campus housing, which will have an uncertain impact on the dynamic.
Hamilton has 4 fantastic seasons. The summers are great if you happen to be there or catch the warm days on the tail ends of the year. People go swimming in the local river and the golf course is always open. There is also a skeet and rifle range ~1 mile away open to the public. Winters are often very strong, and the area gets lake effect snow totaling about 140" per year. Lots of people go hiking in the school's glen and the campus generally embraces the weather.
Hamilton's Open Curriculum is one of my favorite things about the college. I have the freedom to choose my own classes and curriculum and I don't have to worry about taking a certain number of math/science/english courses. I am definitely not a math person and haven't taken a math class since high school! Since I'm not worrying about requirements all the time, I can take liberal arts classes like painting, classics, and comparative literature just for fun.
It's very easy to get around Hamilton and the surrounding areas. Our free jitney service takes students to the mall, grocery store, downtown, and pretty much anyplace else they need to go. As well as the jitney, we also have shuttles and buses. For vacations, Hamilton coordinates car pools, shuttles, and buses to take students where they need to go.
Hamilton has really been building up our athletic community these past couple years. We have a surprising amount of school spirit for such a small school, but I wouldn't say the whole campus revolves around sports. We are a very active campus, though, and students are VERY involved in club and intramural sports. Almost everyone I know is involved in some sort of athletic activity, whether it be club, intramural, or varsity.
Health & Safety:
No campus is truly isolated and safe but Hamilton takes security very seriously. They respond quickly to things and the staff is all very cordial and understanding of students
Campus Quality:
Facilities are fantastic. Hamilton has spent upward of $150 million in the past decade. Makes for a pretty eclectic mix of the old buildings and newer ones but the contrast is nice and in general the facilities are outstanding
Hamilton adopts the student athlete mentality. Each sport is taken seriously by it's athletes but there is not much in the way of school spirit or support for all the teams. The facilities are quite nice though
Campus Quality:
The science center is absolutely amazing. The new arts center will be even better. The facilities are fantastic
Snow is beautiful here, but the hills can get treacherous when icy.
All computer labs are always open. However, such labs are in high demand during finals week, so students have to plan accordingly. Printing on campus is easy and while there's no real need for a personal printer, having one doesn't hurt. On several occasions the printers in the computer labs were broken, out of paper, out of toner, you name it.
Campus Housing:
The college recently unveiled sweeping housing changes which they described as non-negotiable after extremely limited input from students. These changes include a plan to completely eliminate downtown housing as well as transferring many of the most widely sought after dorms to exclusively freshmen housing. Rather than having the opportunity to live in spacious quads as upperclassmen, many will be relegated to isolated singles as well as cramped triples and quads that were originally reserved for freshmen
Drug Safety:
Alcohol is everywhere and anywhere on campus. It does not take much for those under 21 to find where the dorm parties are. 99% of the time, upperclass purchase liquor for underclassmen. As far as drugs like Adderall, cocaine, and weed, students can easily get them as there are multiple sellers on campus.
Hamilton is very academically challenging. Hamilton expects a lot from their students. If you want to be challenged mentally its the place to go. Students leave Hamilton with strong writing and critical thinking skills.
Party Scene:
I would say nightlife at Hamilton is for everyone. If you are 21 or older, there are plenty of parties you can go to/hold in people's dorms, including some all-campus parties. If you are not 21 or just don't drink, there are a ton of fun and exciting events held each weekend for students like movie nights, dances, or just game nights.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
As long as you don't ask a Hamilton student about how much they love their school in the dead of winter, you are likely to receive an overwhelmingly positive response. Complaining about the school can sometimes appear to be the new cool thing to do and becomes increasingly more popular as the days grow darker, and homework and snow seem to endlessly pile up. But, if you listen to what students say, it's more than likely you will find a strong undertone of affection for life at Hamilton College. This school offers its students an incredible opportunity to take advantage of an intellectual faculty and student body through small classrooms, supportive computer networks, and fairly magnificent campus facilities. While attending school, Hamilton students can sleep like royalty—as long as their lottery number is decent enough to score a nice dorm room—eat great food both on and off campus, and have snowball fights for more than half the year. Yet, in order to take advantage of their four years at Hamilton, they must be able to make the best of what can often be a trying and narrow life outside of academics. Not only is the Greek system still going through a certain amount of upheaval due to its lack of housing, but the nightlife available in rural central New York is fairly limited, especially for freshmen. It takes a particular level of creativity to realize that Hamilton College abounds with opportunities all of the time, it just requires a little originality and some time. There are many things to do beyond drinking every night, and it doesn't take most students very much time to figure out how to make their own fun. Having a car can also make time spent here more agreeable, although even for freshmen, there is hope; most upperclassmen happily take pity on other students who don't have the means to get off campus.
Change is constant at Hamilton College. Much of the campus has received a facelift in the past few years, and there is more remodeling planned for the future. Soon, Hamilton College will have a new look; dorms are being renovated, older buildings have been torn down and rebuilt, and a new student center is on the way. Current students are generally excited about the future of their college, and happily planning for the days when the entire nation will come to recognize what a great liberal arts experience Hamilton College can be.

up CRE for Finesa's $200M DIP fund
anchored by Colombian pension funds.
HOUSTON-Finesa Real Estate Group has retained Transwestern Investment Management to buy, manage and dispose of commercial real estate assets for its $200 million Diversified International Partners private equity CRE fund. In its first capital raise, the fund closed on $70 million, attracting anchor commitments from three of Colombia's pension funds.
Now in its second capital raise, DIP geared toward income-producing office, industrial, retail and multifamily properties throughout the United States. According to TIM managing director Juan DeAngulo, the fund is already hunting up likely assets, and negotiations have commenced on two properties.
"We're focused on yield, cash-flow investment," he explains. "We don't want to buy empty buildings and take a ton of risk. Rather, we're focused on executing a strategy on properties with cash flow in place, and some upside."
The interesting component of DIP is that the capital is coming from high net-worth entities and pension funds in Colombia; investors interested in what the U.S. commercial real estate market has to offer. DeAngulo, who was raised in Colombia, tells GlobeSt.com that the idea of encouraging Latin American investment in U.S. real estate led to TIM's partnership with Finesa, which was founded in 2002, is headquartered in Rockville, MD and has leveraged Latin American capital and relationships to buy CRE assets on the East Coast and Midwest in the past. The two partners have "developed a structure so that institutional and high net-worth investors in Colombia can invest in the United States," De Angulo comments.
Anyone in the United States familiar with current economic conditions, sluggish job growth and the mixed bag of commercial real estate might wonder at the interest from Latin American investors, more specifically, Colombian pension funds. But DeAngulo says the interest isn't so surprising, if one considers that opportunities at home aren't quite so plentiful.
"The primary goal of Latin American investors coming into the U.S. is first, capital preservation and second, capital return," DeAngulo says. "In Colombia, these days, they're taking higher risks than what they might have in the United States." And while the United States is going through the mudslinging and gridlock of a general election year, from the outside looking in, the country is considered a vastly stable investment, and a safe one.
Furthermore, notes Finesa Real Estate Group president and CEO Andres Gonzalez, the timing is absolutely right in the United States for commercial real estate investment from the outside. "If you look at this from a relative basis, Latin America has had a pretty good run on real estate during the past 10 years," he tells GlobeSt.com. "Colombia, Brazil, Mexico; their asset prices are on the higher end, counter to what we're seeing in the U.S. So investors have the possibility of investing in that asset class that's done so well for them, and in a market where you have upside, as opposed to investing in the local market where upside is capped."
Another attractive component of foreign investment in the United States is the currency. DeAngulo says the dollar is weak when compared to the Colombian peso. Currency 101 supports the idea that a weak dollar is a bonanza for foreign investors because it means foreign currency can buy more U.S. assets. In other words, "There's potentially a lot of real estate upside in a country that is still perceived as a safe investment politically and financially," DeAngulo explains. "On top of that, the investors get some potential currency upside as well."
DIP is targeting commercial real estate in areas with solid demographics and growth; DeAngulo acknowledges a strong preference in areas in which Transwestern already has offices. Major metros are attractive, he goes on to say, as are many of the submarkets.
Gonzalez explains that previous Finesa funds have been somewhat more narrowly defined in terms of geography and assets – and DIP represents the first time in which Latin American institutional money is an important part of the capital raise. Previous Finesa funds have been supported by private money, he remarks.
But clearly those Colombian and other Latin American institutional investors have a keen interest in the U.S. "We exceeded our first closing by over 50% of our goal," Gonzalez says. "We believe we'll be able to fill up the fund to its maximum capacity by early next year."

Rand Paul Confuses Everyone on Abortion
I don't understand myself, but I'll hazard a guess. His bill purports to protect fetuses' due process rights under the 14th Amendment. "Process" is not the same as "outcome." That is, a criminal can have all of his due process rights scrupulously observed and yet still be hanged. (Actually, an innocent man can have his due process rights scrupulously observed and yet still be hanged, too.)
Does his answer seem muddled because he's observing, or trying to observe, a distinction between process (fair hearing before a neutral arbiter) and outcome?
And feels that mandating an outcome (no abortions) would be an unconstitutional distortion of due process rights? (Constitutionalists are generally against so-called "substantive due process," a contradiction in terms, also known as "not due process.")
And so instead is merely offering procedural guarantees to fetuses, that there will be a hearing before a magistrate to determine their rights to life?
And is -- per political prudence and regard for constitutionalism -- specifically not guaranteeing what outcomes will result from such due-process-for-abortions-hearings?
That seems to make sense of this, to me, at least. But I'm a moron.
Due Process, Substance, and "Substantive Due Process:" Section 5 of the 14th Amendment guarantees everyone in the country due process before being deprived of life, liberty, or property. Because this applies to all citizens, it has been used -- and abused -- by those who wish federalize every issue. Under the guise of guaranteeing "due process," judges have permitted a bunch of non-process rights for citizens and non-process forbiddences of government (often police) action.
For example, by its own terms, the Due Process Clause only requires a fair hearing before a neutral tribunal and the guarantee to secure and present evidence in one's favor before, say, a death penalty sentence is imposed. It only guarantees a certain process. It does not, by its own terms, claim that certain outcomes are forbidden. And yet it is frequently grasped at by people wishing to claim the Constitution forbids a certain outcome or guarantees a certain outcome.
Thus was born the oxymoronic term of art, "substantive due process," a hash of a term meaning "substantive rights to have something, or substantive rights to be free of certain burdens or penalties, which are somehow dictated by a clause that by its own terms only guarantees a certain process."
Liberals are very big on substantive due process, though they don't call it that anymore, because substantive due process became a scandalous crime against the Constitution when libertarian-minded judges used it to guarantee such substantive rights as "liberty of contract" in the 20s and 30s. So liberals call it something else now and use it quite a bit. But in fairness, most people who strongly desire a certain outcome will quickly convince themselves of the merits of substantive due process if they see it as a likely pathway to the policy they seek.
Anyway, it's my guess (which really isn't so much a guess as the offering of an idea to be batted about) that Paul is attempting to hew to the more-constitutional notion that "due process" really means due process -- a process, not a guaranteed result -- and not the sudden discovery of a substantive right.

Patient Comments: Strep Throat - Experience
Please describe your experience with strep throat.
Comment from: LadyContagious, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: December 14
During my life, I have had strep throat or tonsillitis too many times to count. Tonight I went to the emergency room. My throat felt like hot needles were sticking in it. I have been having a fever on and off. Only Tylenol brings it down for a few hours. Since I had a cough, the nurse kept saying, I think it is a virus. Luckily, the doctor saw the numerous pus pockets all over my tonsils and ordered testing. After a very long wait, it came back positive for strep. Some people do have a cough with strep. I knew when my fever had been going up to near 103 for 24 hours that it could possibly be strep. You know your body better than anyone. Sometimes you have to be adamant, because not every patient is textbook. I will be so glad when it is over. Being around kids, especially when they are sick is not the best thing. You want to hug and love them when they feel bad, but sometimes you pay for it later. But they are worth it.
Comment from: mrsgenge, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 23
The pain of strep throat is excruciating. First of all, you generate an awful lot of saliva. When I swallow, it literally feels like the back of my throat is catching on itself and like my tonsils get stuck mid-swallow. The pain that you have with strep throat is unlike anything else. It's like, when you swallow, there is this sharp object stuck in the back of your throat. The back of your throat drags over this sharp object, and has both an aching and stinging sensation. My two daughters have both had strep throat. They have been known to feign sickness just so they can get out of school. Nowadays, if they are genuinely warm and they say their throats hurt, I will believe them. What a ghastly, putrid condition.
Comment from: Nursing Student 2015, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: November 04
I had strep throat twice when I was 11 and attending public school. My symptoms were sore throat along with red spots on my soft and hard palate, and low grade fever. Now, at 22 the symptoms I had was coughing, swollen lymph nodes, headache and low fever of 101.3. My brother had the same symptoms and checked out for strep throat. I knew I had the same thing. It's crazy how much your body changes over the years. Yet you still feel lousy.
Comment from: mikee, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: July 08
It's too painful to swallow solid food with strep throat. My fever is on-and-off between 37.5 and 39 degrees C. I have stabbing headaches and my whole body is also painful, muscles and joints. I have shortness of breath, at times my hearing is affected, and I can sense a lull effect. I have a little stress at my chest (especially heart area), my taste bud is so bitter. I over-perspire, especially after taking antibiotics and at night; my sweat is so sticky.
Comment from: Racine, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 19
On 6/12 I woke with nausea, by noon I couldn't keep anything down. I thought I must have the flu and would ride it out. On Friday the 13th, I went to urgent care with a temperature of 102.4, body aches, and my neck hurt, but no sore throat. My head felt like it would explode every time I upchucked. After swabs, I found I had strep. With amoxicillin, Toradol shot for pain, and another for nausea, I thought restored health was 2 days away. It is the 17th and I still can't keep anything down for long. I was back to the doctor on the 18th to see what to do next; I'm allergic to Advil so reacted to the Toradol with hives. Benadryl and prednisone made me so wired I gave up on that on the 16th. Time to take my medicines and I am fighting to keep the crackers down. I had no idea strep acted this way.
Comment from: Susan s., 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: February 29
I have a sore throat and ears because of strep.

I lost a lot of respect for G.W.Bush when he refused to meet face to face with Cindy Sheehan, even when she was camped at the foot of his driveway. I realize that she was an activist, but she also was the mother of a fallen soldier. Bush could have at least walked to the end of his driveway and talked to her for a moment, or better yet invite her in for a cup of coffee. It would have been the classy thing to do.
Even if Cindy Sheehan had ranted and raved at Bush for a couple of minutes, would that have been such a heavy price to pay, especially when compared to the price that

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Very tasty! Thanks for posting.
This recipe is wonderful, although I do agree with Karen that the rice wine is a bit much as is the soy sauce. I will reduce the soy sauce to about 1/8 cup with just a dollop of rice wine. My family raved about this dish and my husband actually ate two helpings, which is amazing because I have a difficult time getting him to eat much of anything green. Thank you for the great dish.
This recipe has potential, but the rice wine vinegar seemed to overpower the other flavors. I would make this again, but decrease the vinegar way back so the sesame and soy flavors can come through. Thanks for sharing...I will play with it!

Congress renews plastic gun ban
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Narrowly beating a midnight deadline, Congress voted Monday to renew an expiring ban on plastic firearms that can evade airport detection machines. But Republicans blocked an effort to toughen the restrictions — the latest defeat for gun-control forces in the year since the grade school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
By voice vote, the Senate gave final congressional approval to a 10-year extension of the prohibition against guns that can slip past metal detectors and X-ray machines. The House voted last week for an identical decade-long renewal of the ban, and the measure now goes to President Barack Obama for his signature.
Obama, traveling to Africa for ceremonies honoring the late South African president Nelson Mandela, was expected to sign the bill before midnight using an auto pen, a White House official said.
The device has been used for the signatures of traveling presidents since the administration of president George W. Bush.
GOP senators rejected an effort by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to strengthen the ban by requiring that such weapons contain undetachable metal parts. Some plastic guns meet the letter of the current law with a metal piece that can be removed, making them a threat to be slipped past security screeners at schools, airports and elsewhere.
"Who in God's name wants to let plastic guns pass through metal detectors at airports or stadiums?" Schumer said in an interview Monday.
The National Rifle Association, which has been instrumental in blocking gun restrictions, expressed no opposition to renewing the law.
But the gun lobby said it would fight any expanded requirements, including Schumer's, "that would infringe on our Second Amendment rights" to bear arms.
Underscoring the issue's political sensitivity, both of Monday's votes were by voice only, meaning no individual senators' votes were recorded. For a handful of Democratic senators seeking re-election next year in GOP-leaning states, the day's votes could have been difficult.
The rejection of stricter curbs highlighted the repeated setbacks for gun-control advocates in Congress since last Dec. 14. On that day, a gunman fatally shot 20 first-graders and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School before killing himself.
Despite that — and other recent mass shootings, including at the Washington Navy Yard just blocks from the Capitol — supporters of expanded gun control are nearing the end of a year in which they have been unable to push any new firearms restrictions through Congress.
"We're several decades behind the NRA," said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn. "This is a long game, and it's going to take us some time to build up the resources necessary to compete."
Congressional Republicans have resisted tightening the restrictions against undetectable guns, but those lawmakers — as well as the NRA — have not opposed renewing the current prohibition. The House approved a 10-year extension last week.
Plastic guns were in their infancy when President Ronald Reagan and Congress first enacted the ban against undetectable firearms, and when it was renewed in 1998 and 2003. But such weapons have become a growing threat and can now be produced by 3-D printers, which are becoming better and more affordable.
Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, says that with the law's expiration at hand, Congress should extend it for a decade and study Schumer's more restrictive plan later.
Supporters of tightening the rules say the 10-year renewal helps the gun lobby because it reduces Democrats' ability to revisit the issue.
The Sandy Hook killings prompted Obama and Democrats to make gun control a top domestic priority this year — but to no avail in Congress.
Their most stinging loss occurred in April, when the Senate turned aside an effort to expand federal background checks for would-be gun purchasers, an effort to prevent criminals and mentally ill people from getting weapons. That measure would have required the checks for all sales at gun shows and online — expanding a system that is currently required only for sales through licensed firearms dealers.
Also defeated were proposed bans on assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines.
In a measure of GOP opposition and NRA clout, those proposals never even came to votes in the Republican-majority House.
But with Saturday's Newtown anniversary approaching, Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., a psychologist, plans to announce legislation Thursday aimed at boosting federal mental health programs, including treatment, research and training for workers who respond to emergencies.
The lack of movement in the Democratic-led Senate has left gun-control groups divided about their 2014 goals.
Some are willing to set aside, for now, the push for expanded background checks and settle for more modest changes. These could include strengthening mental health programs and having states provide more records to the federal background check system.
Backing this approach are some Newtown families and the group Americans for Responsible Solutions, formed by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., seriously wounded by a shooter, and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly.
"Anything we can do, anything Congress can do to potentially save a life, one life, they should do," said Pia Carusone, executive director of Giffords' group.
Others want to continue raising pressure on lawmakers to back strong background check requirements, and they oppose aiming for less.
These groups include Mayors Against Illegal Guns, led by outgoing New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an organization that has been spending money against gun-rights congressional candidates and lawmakers. These groups are concerned that Republicans would use votes for weaker efforts to cast themselves as having championed major steps against guns.
"Our interest in giving (New Hampshire GOP Sen.) Kelly Ayotte a vote on a mental health bill, which would be a good bill but do virtually nothing to solve the gun violence problem in this country, approaches zero," said Mark Glaze, the mayors group executive director.
Ayotte voted against expanded background checks in April and has been criticized by gun-control groups ever since.
