A course on constitutional law and civil liberties can be—and is—nothing less than an extended inquiry into the meaning of America. American Constitutional Law: Volume 1 Governmental Powers and Democracy, newly revised by Donald P. Kommers, John E. Finn, and Gary J. Jacobsohn, is a casebook made for such an inquiry. True to the liberal arts tradition from which it emerges, it goes beyond the facts and rulings of the great cases in American constitutional law to engage important issues of political theory and the nature of our constitutional democracy. Although the focus is on American constitutional law, Kommers, Finn, and Jacobsohn break new ground by incorporating comparative materials that enrich the study of the American Constitution by challenging the reader to assess American constitutional values in light of other traditions and understandings of constitutional governance. In an era of constitutional globalization, this new edition of a distinguished text is essential to an appreciation of tradition and diversity.Volume 1 focuses on governmental structures and relationships and includes a new chapter on elections and political representation.

Seriously? AF illumination reserved for 1Dx only?! Well, I'm not gonna buy 1Dx just for that anyway. What Einstein at Canon has come up with this dumb idea?
What makes you think it won't be available on the 5DIII too? Just because it's not in this firmware update doesn't mean there isn't going to be one.

Napier 1975 Asian Gold Plated Cuff Bracelet & 1953 Earring Set ~ Book Piece
This impressive Asian motif set, signed by Napier, is vintage mid-1970's and features a tapered cuff bracelet and huge pair of dangling drop earrings, rendered in gold plate with Chinese characters. The earrings were originally designed by Anne Fogarty for Napier in 1953 and were called "Chinese Lampsticks". The earrings measure 3 1/8" inches long X 1 1/8" inches wide. Rectangular earrings have two curved sides, as can be seen in the 3rd photo.
This chic set is featured in Melinda Lewis' impressive tome of a book, The Napier Company: DEFINING 20th CENTURY AMERICAN COSTUME JEWELRY. See page photos. My cuff bracelet is in much better condition than the one in the book!
Cuff bracelet is 2.5" inches wide and has in inside circumference (including opening in back) of 6.75" inches at the top and 7.75" inches at the bottom. Back of bracelet is hallmarked "NAPIER" with the copyright symbol and the clip backs on the earrings are hallmarked "NAPIER PAT PEND". All three pieces are in excellent condition, with the gold plate totally intact. Fabulous set!
Gender: Female, Age Group: Adult, Color: Gold, Size: L

Let's see. Jackie Chan is a spy working for China and the CIA, who falls in love with a widow with three kids. He retires to be with them, but his job follows him home. Mom goes to be with her sick dad. Evil Russians have a plot to control the world's oil supply, and this requires them to chase Jackie and the kids through shopping malls, large empty factories and so on. Jackie's character is named Bob Ho, which reminds me of someone.
Truth in reviewing requires me to report that "The Spy Next Door" is precisely what you would expect from a PG-rated Jackie Chan comedy with that plot. If that's what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed. It's not what I was looking for. There are things you learn from movies like this. (1) All kids know how to use weapons better than Russian mobsters. (2) A villainess in a spy movie always dresses like a dominatrix. (3) Hummers are no help. (4) Kids always hate the guy their mom is dating until they survive in battle with him, and then they love him. (5) Whenever an adult turns away, a small child will instantly disappear. The smaller the child, the more agile. (6) Even in New Mexico, Russian gangsters wear heavy long black leather coats, which they just bought in the duty-free shops at Heathrow. These, added to their 6-foot-5-inch heights and goatees, help them blend in. (7) The mole in the CIA is always the white boss, never the Latino.
What else? Oh, (8) if you put a cell phone under a rock with iron in it, it cannot be traced. Only such a rock miles into the desert will work. No good putting it in the stove. (9) Little girls would rather dress in a pink princess outfit than wear a Hulk mask. (10) Spies always have fiery kitchen disasters the first time they cook for kids, and the second time produce perfect French toast with powdered sugar on it. Oh, and (11) no spy has the slightest idea of a reasonable ratio of oatmeal to water.
Such sights made a young audience happy at the screening I attended. Nothing to a kid is quite as funny as a food fight. A cat trapped on a roof is a suspense-builder. They don't like the guy dating their mom until they save him with their well-timed action moves. And all young audiences find it perfectly reasonable that when a kid runs away from a residential neighborhood on a bike, that kid will of course pedal into the large empty factory where Jackie Chan is facing the Russian mob giants.
Jackie Chan is 55. Just sayin'. He no longer runs up walls by using the leverage of a perpendicular surface. Back in the days before CGI, he used to really do that. OK, maybe some wires were involved, but you try running up a two-story wall with wires. I wouldn't even want to be winched up.
Chan was famous for doing his own stunts. He had so many accidents, it's a wonder he can walk. Everybody knew to wait for the outtakes during the closing credits, because you'd see him miss a fire escape or land wrong in the truck going under the bridge. Now the outtakes involve his use of the English language. What's that? Your name isn't Bob Hope?
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

We closed on the house yesterday. Woot Woot. We did run into a few minor problems with the seller. When we went for the final walk thru the pool was like a duck pond. That was disheartening. And the seller's agent said the seller stopped taking her calls. Sounds like a class act. Anyway, we got a pool guy in and he cost $495 to get the pool back into shape. Turned out the filters were torn, so all the diatomaeous earth in the filter system was just leaking into the pool making it cloudy and gross. The pool guy got new filters and replaced them and all should be good now.
We are spending the last night in the vacation rental. Tomorrow we move into the new house. There will be no Internet until Tuesday, but oh well, we'll live. Also our furniture doesn't get delivered until Wednesday, but we have some chairs and a bed, it will be fine. There are lots of minor things that need to be done around there. The ac filters need to be changed. Some light bulbs are burnt out and some general cleaning needs to be done. We went today and bought some pots and pans, dishes, and general stuff to get us through until the POD gets here. I keep meaning to call to find out when it will be here but I keep forgetting. I'll try and call on Monday.
Okay, I'm tired and ready for bed. Tomorrow will be a busy day.

Some soul searching
I joined this group on Facebook, the Hugs and Bacon Tribe. It is run by this guy who is kind of a big deal in paleo - The Civilized Caveman. The group though is about more than eating or diet. It is about finding your best self. About discovering what is holding you back and moving through it. About being positive and making progress no matter how small. I had just decided, earlier this week, that I needed to take a couple of steps back. The things I was trying to do was too much, too soon. I needed to go back to the beginning and take baby steps. That was when I found the group. Timing really is everything. The first thing he had us do is make a calendar and pick one new habit for the month. We also had to come up with a positive affirmation statement to say to ourselves all the time. So I picked the habit of walking in the morning and yoga in the afternoon. My affirmation statement is; I am a strong, motivated, and confident woman. I did well with both of these things for 2 days and then yesterday it all fell apart. I didn't workout at all. I never even looked at my affirmation statement, in fact when asked for it last night I actually had to look at my calendar because I couldn't remember it. Needless to say, I felt like a failure. Then the guy who runs it did a live cast and covered just these type of things. How we need to be authentic and real. How breaking old mindsets and patterns is not going to be easy and will bring up all kinds of stuff. Once again, it was just what I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it. So I fessed up about yesterday and forgave myself for it. Then on my walk this morning, I tried to figure out why I do the things I do. Why do I self-sabotage myself all the time? I should explain that when I wrote my affirmation, I thought I was taking the easy way out by saying the things I said. I am strong, I know that and freely admit it. Motivation I struggle with, but I figure if I said it everyday it would become self-fulfilling. The confident??? When I wrote the statement, I thought that I was confident. Sure. Well, on my walk today I realized that I'm not confident at all. I second guess every decision I make. I feel like I'm an imposer in most areas of my life. I don't feel like I'm qualified to teach chemistry, let alone AP. I don't believe that I have the skills and knowledge to write a dissertation. Who am I fooling?? That's when it hit me. That affirmation was a sneaky mind trick I played on myself. I am not confident. At least not all the time. And so much of my confidence and self esteem is tied into my weight. I am fat and so feel like a failure and therefore not confident. I AM NOT A FAILURE!! Just because I let life get to me and I lost my focus on my health, does not make me a failure. It makes me human. But the good thing is, as long as I'm still breathing I have the ability to change things up. And change things up I will. Starting today. I have always said that knowing the problem is half the battle, and now I know the problem. So the first thing that is happening is the dialogue in my head needs to change. I am going to run the 'I am confident' tape constantly. When I run into something I don't understand or am having trouble with, I will say ' I don't understand this, YET!' I will not fall into negative thoughts and patterns. I'm smart. I know what I'm doing and I just need to learn to have faith in that.
I am a strong, motivated, and CONFIDENT woman.

This is killing me.......
We were supposed to close on the house on Wednesday, but that didn't happen. Due to having to pay some things off and frankly me dragging my feet, we are now waiting. Waiting. Waiting....it is killing me. I woke this morning with such a positive attitude, I was sure that something good was going to happen today. The pins and needles waiting to find out if it will go through.....ugh....it is killing me...... Then this morning the taxes came up....I was hoping that would just slide under the radar but it didn't. They only know about 2015, now I have to pray they don't find out about the other years......ugh......please, please, please make this happen. I will be the best person ever!!! I will pay all my taxes and never go into debt again and be the best person I can possibly be. Oh please, please, please...... I can't stand this waiting. I'm on pins and needles and it is going to be a long, long weekend. Trying to keep a positive attitude and keep my thoughts positive. I do believe in positivity, but it is getting harder and harder to keep it up.

A ghost town
Today we went here. It was really cool. We walked and walked and walked and then took the train around. It was really a lot of fun. Plus there was some beautiful artwork there that I want to go back for once we move. Very cool.
So since the 4th, things have fallen into a kind of rhythm. I get up in the morning and go for a walk/run. Then I get Hubby up and we take the dogs to the dog park. After an hour or so, we come home and jump in the pool before breakfast. The days after that have been pretty lazy. On Sunday we never even left the house and I took 2 naps. Realizing that we can't spend the next 2 weeks or so that way, I have made a list of things to do. We will be doing something every day. Today was the first one and the ghost town won out. Of course, that will be hard to top.
I have been getting my steps in and that is awesome. I've also completed the first week of couch to 5k and I'm very proud of myself. Food has not been great. I need to get a handle on that and I'm not sure what is causing the lapse. It may be partly do to the boredom factor, which is what I'm trying to alleviate with my list of things to do.
Otherwise, life is good. I'm loving living in Arizona and it's weird to think that I live here now. Definitely getting used to this.

Independence Day
It's the 4th of July and normally I would be looking forward to the day off. But since I've had days off for the past month, it is basically just another day. Also the fact that we are in our rental and unemployed - technically :) Anyway, all is good. We are going to see our house today and I'm very excited about that. Can't wait to see what it looks like.
I have taken walks the last 2 mornings and it is awesome. It feels so good to be up and moving again. I got up at 5 am this morning. Took the dogs for a 20ish minute walk, then took myself on a 40ish minute walk. I was back before 7 am and it just felt good. In fact, it felt so good I was tempted to do some run intervals, but I refrained and just kept it to walking. Maybe tomorrow I'll jog a little.
Day 3 of 5s AltShift and I feel really good again. I'm still fat, but at least I don't feel tired and sluggish and generally run down. I just feel good. Yay!!! I know it will take time, but I'm okay with that as long as I feel good. My quote yesterday is rather appropriate for this whole journey. Instead of looking at the big picture, I need to look at the small picture, the little steps, that will get me where I want to be. Much like Crossfit with a chipper workout. I never focused on the fact that I had to do 150 wallballs, I looked at them 10 at a time. That's how I have to focus on this, one day at a time, one meal at a time. That really works for me.
Okay, another good day is on the horizon. Nothing earth shattering, but a good day indeed.
03 July 2016
Time for a new start
Okay, it's been a week since I last posted, time to play catch up. We checked in the Paradise Bay Resort and had a really nice two days. The room was great and the dogs took it really well. Oh, I should probably note that we ended up putting Axl down on Saturday, June 25th, when blood was literally pouring out of his penis most of the day. It was heart breaking but necessary. So when we moved to the hotel it was just Bella and Lola. So the 2 days there were good and then on Monday we checked out. I took my car to be shipped and we spent the day at Eddie's waiting for our flight. Before the shuttle picked us up, we got a text from United that our flight had been delayed 1.5 hours. Ugh!!! So we delayed the shuttle a little bit. We got to United Cargo around 7:30 pm and started the process of checking in the dogs. That took awhile and then we discover that our card won't work. Seems there was a 1 day hold on the money we deposited from the sale of the house. WTF????? That was crazy. So we called Robbie and she covered the cost on her card. Ugh!!! Then, while at the Cargo place, we get a text that our flight is delayed another hour. WTF??? WE ended up not taking off until 1:45 am, a full 2 hours and 45 minutes after our scheduled departure. I guess I really can't complain though, the flight before us was cancelled completely. So I should be thankful that we at least got off. The whole way here, I'm trying to figure out what to do about the rental van. We had a van in SFO but without money in the account, we weren't going to get it. Luckily by the time we landed the money was available. Whew.
Then it was 4 days on the road with 2 dogs and a bird. We quickly learned that traveling is not Lil Lols favorite thing, but she survived. Bella on the other hand, is a champ at traveling. She took everything in stride and was excited for whatever we were doing. We stayed in South San Francisco on Tuesday, we decided that after an all night plane flight we should just rest. That was a good call. On Wednesday we drove down and spent the day with Jennifer and the kids. That was really fun. Her kids are pretty cool and I think we got along really well. On Thursday we drove down to San Bernadino and stayed there for the night. What a freaking joke that place was. We pull up to our room to find 3 guys drinking beer and smoking pot outside. Awesome!!!! But it was only for 1 night so we managed. Then on Friday we hit the road for Phoenix. We got to our rental house about 3 pm, dumped everything off, went and did some basic grocery shopping and jumped in the pool. I love having a pool. It is now Sunday and we are settled into the rental for a while. The dogs are all calming down and things are going well.
As for the house, things are still on track for us to purchase it. Don't know what my mortgage broker did, but she did an amazing job. So that is still going. School on the other hand has fallen way behind. I missed a discussion. I have a paper that is a week late and one due on Tuesday. So guess what I'll be doing for the next few days????
Okay, that pretty much catches us up to today. As for me, things are not going so great. I got here feeling huge. I don't know what I weigh because there is no scale here, but I am huge. I told Hubby while still on the road, that I would be starting AltShift on Saturday. I don't care about anything but losing some fat and feeling better. So I started AltShift yesterday and it went pretty well. I know it's mostly in my head, but I feel better already. I got up this morning and took the dogs for a short walk, then headed out on a 45 minute walk myself. It was hot, but it felt great. So today is day 2 of AltShift and I'm looking forward to doing a little better than yesterday. So there we are. A week in the life of me :)

That's me trying to create a state of zen in a sea of chaos. So let's see what is happening 2 days after my last post.
Axl is on antibiotics and is feeling much, much better. We had pretty much decided that he would not be making the journey with us and now he's feeling a whole lot better. Ugh!!!! Of course, just because he's feeling better doesn't mean he is better. Yesterday he still wasn't peeing and pooping much. We'll see how today goes. The good news is, we can change our minds at the last minute. We are going to wait and see how he reacts to the antibiotics.
As far as the mortgage, I have no idea where that stands, but I have mentally given up on it. We have a place to stay for the month of July in AZ, so we will stay there and look for a house to rent. I'm actually kind of okay with that part. I guess because in the overall scheme of things is it not that major a set-back. I'm taking the whole no news is good news approach though :)
Tomorrow we move out of here and into the hotel for 2 days. Then we fly out on Monday. Exciting and scary at the same time. Today i need to book a rental car and hotels along the way for us to stay. We are staying in the Bay Area when we arrive on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday we are driving over to see Jennifer and stay there for the night. Then Thursday we are driving down to LA and staying outside of LA Thursday night. Finally, on Friday, we will drive into Phoenix and claim our rental house. So exciting. So much fun.
In many ways the stress has lifted. We are so close to the actual move. Things are falling into place and I think we have everything lined up for the trip. Tonight is the party at the racquet club and Hubby's last night of work. Tomorrow we have lots to do cleaning this place out and moving to the hotel. Sunday is a cruise day, then Monday we check out and wait to leave. Hurry up and wait.....
Okay, time to get this day started.

TravelPod Member ReviewsLaico Atlantic Banjul Hotel
For the price we really can't complain. I understand that some travel agents sell this as a 'First Class' hotel (which it isn't), which may lead to some negative revews!
In 11 days we also stayed at Keur Saloum in Toubacouta, Senegambia Beach Hotel, and Ocean Bay in Bakau, so can give a bit of a comparison..
This hotel had a good sized room, and was the only hotel to have a bath. Toileteries were provided. Beakfast good, but only the Keur Saloum disappointed here.
Internet expensive here, but free at all other hotels we went too. This is one reason why we only rated 4 out of 5. They need to address this to be on par with the others. Safe free, as it was at Ocean Bay. Senegambia charged.
Mosquitos are about at dusk and can be annoying. But they spray them with 'Bop' whilst you're at dinner. We bought a can (50D) which was useful for the rest of our trip.
Exchange rate of 47.5 to the pound, when official rate was about 47, so we were pretty happy. Best we could do in town was 48. Ocean Bay in Bakau took the proverbial here as rate was 40 to he pound!! Close to Ocean Bay in Bakau the money changers offered 44, but 5-10 minute walk to fishing port, we used a small booth that also did 48. In Senegambia the hotel did 47.6, 48 was easy to get on strip, but Barry's offered a bit more (also cheapest large water at 25D).
We staid B&B, which meant that we tried local restaurants for food. Billy's, with a view of Arch 22, was the best food we had on our holiday. Very good portions and quality at very good prices (less than £4 a meal). Michel's seafood is now something like Bamboung, but the food was a bit disappointing. Nefretiti on beach is only open until 6pm and had a much nicer ambience, but cost more (still less than hotel). Happy hour and prices in hotel, much better than the others we visited, and therefore we had far more on drinks in this hotel than we did in the others (in Ocean Bay we refused to buy any as crazy prices). The only food we had in hotel was a pizza (£4) and was good. For us there is no need to pay extra for the big buffet (£13) as we would only get fat. A la carte 3 course could be had for about £11. Other than places mentioned here, there isn't really much else about, except juice bars and black & white for cheap, good drinks. Both other Gambia hotels are better in this respect.
Grounds are very good, there is squash, tennis, bird garden, mini golf area, table tennis etc. All a bit tired looking, but good nonetheless. Ocean Bay is really lacking in the department. Pool fine, but bit cold, however jacuzzi nice and warm.
Beach looks nice, but not really any good for swimming. Senegambia best here.
During the day, sightseeing is easy as very close to the capital. Museum (£1), Arch 22 (£1 plus 2p tip!), and July 22 square can all easily be visited within minutes and no need for a local guide. Yes, the bumsters can be a bit annoying, but they are just trying to offer a service for those that may need. We stated where we were going, said they were wasting their time being with us and we wouldn't pay, and we were fine! However one did tag along one morning and showed us the commercial port, fish smoking areas etc in about 2 hours. We could not have seen this on our own, so we tipped him £1 and he was happy! Trip on ferry (20p) to Barra recommended and no need for guide, you can get a Pirogue back for about a £1 to speed things up. To Senegal border was 20 mins from Barra, we paid £4 for a cab. Across border in less than 10 mins, all very easy, if you want to do a day trip. However, you wont see much difference to Gambia, except the people speak French!
Would recommend walking to see the mosque after going to museum, that way you are off main street, so don't get bumstered! You get to see local life and are greeted by people not expecting anything in return, very pleasant. We were not allowed in mosque as not muslim, but they seemed very apologetic!
We went to international football match Gambia v Algeria which was quite an experience, although result (1-2) was a shame. Took green taxi from Bakau for 50D, and tickets for 100D - we would recommened these over the 50D tickets as are out of the sun, and the crowd are a bit less crazy! For the 50D tickets people were climbing on each other..! You can always go with someone from hotel/street if worried about doing alone.
In summary this hotel is good for those wanting to spend time in hotel and do local, low key sightseeing. We found it friendlier here than Bakau or Senegambia, and received no sob stories or blatant begging, unlike the other places. Staff good, price great - highly recommended

Historical Traveler Reviews Laico Atlantic Banjul Hotel
Great time had at the Atlantic
We have just returned from staying a week at the Atlantic Hotel. Very enjoyable, rooms very clean and comfortable, Hotel staff very helpful and friendly, buffet food excellent with local produce but would have liked Gambian night i.e. Chicken Yassa or Domodah etc. Hotel guides very friendly and overall helpful. Definitley suggest you take one with you especially into Banjul/Albert Market. Albert Market is not the place to buy your souvenirs. An experience to visit though. For wood try Brikama wood carving factory. 1/3 price of Albert Market's starting prices!
Drinks are expensive but it is a 4 star hotel.
Definitely go and meet Lamin (Birdman) in the Garden - very knowledgable! The other recommendation would be to have a meal at Lamin Lodge - if you have time, taxi in then crusie back to Denton Bridge where your taxi will meet you.
Roots and 4x4 trips definitely worth doing.
Stayed at the hotel in April 2005. Very clean. Food good selection, might not suit younger children. Expensive food and drinksas there is no competition. Beach lots of space. Locals very friendly. Hotel Tour Guides excellent especially
Seedy Kinteh. Air Con works only when key in lock cannnot leave it running while your out.
Just what we needed....
We booked this holiday about 3 months before travelling. We wanted a relaxing, hot break, where we could sit by the pool and completley do nothing. We got exactly this!!
Upon arriving into Banjul and after dropping some other visitors to their hotels, we must admit we were slightly concerned with the standards of accomodation we were seeing!! Thankfully, arriving into the Corinthia Atlantic hotel we were completley reassured by the welcome and first impressions!!
The staff at the hotel were very friendly and would do anything for you (including marriage!), all they ask for in return is a small tip! Don't be put off by this, they will happily walk away with a polite "No Thanks".
The food was always fresh and well prepared and presented. There was always plenty of choice and constant chaging selection. However, do not expect to experience a lot of local Gambian cuisine - it is all well known food aimed at the British pallet!
The hotel itself was incredibly clean and had all the facilities you would need - swimming pool, bars, restauarnt, wine bar etc. The rooms were fully equipped and air conditioned. The hotel was also sitauted on a very clean beach.
Overall we had a fantastic time in Gambia and at this hotel. We met lots of people who had returned year after year not only to Gambia but to this particular hotel. It has apprently undergone a major refurbishment last year which has ment it's increase to a 4 star hotel - it clearly shows and we would recommend.
Nothing but praise!
I have stayed in this hotel on several occasions over the years and have always found the staff and services to be excellent, I'm just in the process of booking again for April and looking forward to being able to sit on the newly reclaimed beach again!!
Fantastic holiday
First visited for Xmas 2003 and New Year 2004, best holiday in a long time, spent Xmas day jet sking with Santa. Hotel and staff brilliant. Food excellent. Made some good friends with the Gambians felt very safe. Children throughly enjoyed the relaxed surroundings. When you first arrive it is a culture shock but the people are friendly and always happy. We were so taken with the country my husband and I returned at Easter. We visited again for New Year 2004 and enjoyed it just as much. We met up with people that had been there the previous year, it would appear that people return year after year. We have just rebooked for three weeks over Xmas and New Year this year. The locals remember you year after year and they do not hassle you, we have kept in touch with several of them. Fantastic place to visit.
The Corinthia Atlantic is a super hotel in a direct beach location with friendly helpful staff and excellent amenities within the complex. The food is great and there`s a wide choice to suit everyone. BUT - This is not just my opinion but a general concensus voiced by most visitors which the management should surely look into and that is that the bar and beach restaurant facilities have no competition from outside the hotel due owing to its remote location. The hotel is isolated within 2 minutes walk from the town of Banjul and as there are no worthwhile bars or eating places in Banjul it means that a taxi costing �10.00 plus tips is required to go to where there is a little more life just down the coast at Kololi to dine out. Also, a walk down the road requires the assistance of a hotel guide plus tips to head off the inevitable hangers on (bumsters). Subsequently the hotel are able to charge maximum prices for soft and alcoholic drinks which cost less than half the price elsewhere. They are equivalnt to UK prices. We would certainly holiday in The Gambia again but not at the Corinthia.
The hotel is very nice. The staff are always helpful and pleasant. Good food. But the price they charge for drinks and snacks is very expensive compared to Hotels at/near Kotu Beach and senegambia. There are no other bars or restaurants in the vicinity so you are stuck in the Hotel unless you get a taxi. You cannot walk out of the Hotel entrance without being accosted by the Bumsters who refuse to go away no matter what you say to them so don't expect to be able to have any nice romantic strolls along the beach you'll be joined by these pests like it or not.
Excellent Holiday
Arrived at Hotel on 31st Dec, delighted to hear traditional music being played as you arrived by staff in very colourful traditional outfits, handed a fruit drink, although the reception was busy with the arrivals as about 5 parties departed from our coach the staff were very efficient & you had the keys to your room in no time. Porter took you along to your room with the luggage & advised you how to operate air conditioning, tv & fridge. The room was a good size & had plenty of wardrope & drawer space. Bathroom had a bath & an excellent shower. Clean towels & sheets changed daily.
Relaxed before heading to the Gala Dinner & enjoyed the entertainment afterwards, fireworks display on the beach directly after 12pm was a surprise.
Also ate in the a la carte resturant twice as an upgrade to this only costs an additional �10.00 per person.
Took in two trips during our week, Classic Cruise & the Truck Safari, both very enjoyable, especially as we had to rise early at 7am for the departure of the truck safari at 8am.
Also enjoyed beauty treatments for a fraction of the price you would pay in the UK & all were excellent.
We enjoyed it that much that after our arrival home at the week-end we have re-booked for this New Year & will look forward to the sunshine, the pampering I can have in the beauty room & meeting up with the friendly staff who made you feel very welcome & did their utmost to ensure you had such an excellent time you would want to return to their country.
If anyone has any questions feel free to contact me.
went to the corintha on new years eve 2004 , arrived at 4.30 in the afternoon to music in rececption and a lovely drink, very quick check in and then shown to room. we had a interconnecting room for the children brill. the rooms were kept well clean and were nice ,we were at the bottom with balcony facing pool lovely view. cant fault the food always lovely , the gala dinner was great, entertainment was good we enjoyed the dancing and the bob marly songs. we had no problems getting sunloungers in the morning the staff came over ang gave you the cover to sit on. the pool was on the small size but never got full ,jump in at the deep end not as cold i found. the beach was nice sea looked great but did not go in as we were told it had a bit of a strong current . the staff were all very friendly and helpful and all spoke good english. all in all we really enjoyed our stay and would go back. any questions please get in touch.
Very eye opening
The hotel was very modern and well kept. The staff were very helpful and friendly and all spoke good english. Although the pool was small, the beach was only inches away.
The food was excellent and catered for all varieties, and you could pay a little extra to eat a la carte, altough we didn't bother as the buffet was sufficient enough.
We also paid for two trips with our hotel which were the South Gambia Adventure and Makasutu Magic which were both fantastic and eye-opening experiences. We would definately reccomend these to anyone.
The only problems with this holiday was that we were restricted to the complex unless you paid for a guide provided by the hotel to take you out around the city. Again very interesting to see how the locals live. However, do not go out alone at night.
Another tip for the holiday is to take goodies for the local children i.e pens, pencils and sweets. They are very much appreciated.

Back into Senegal and to French speaking lands again, my last stop was in a place called Ziguenchor. I shared a car there, from Banjul, with a family who were heading south to visit their Grandmother who wasn't very well. On the journey we got to know each other a bit.

Ronson investigates the strange things we're willing to believe in, from lifelike robots programmed with our loved ones' personalities to indigo children to hypersuccessful spiritual healers to the Insane Clown Posse's juggalo fans. He looks at ordinary lives that take on extraordinary perspectives, for instance a pop singer whose life's greatest passion is the coming alien invasion, and the scientist designated to greet those aliens when they arrive. Ronson throws himself into the stories — in a tour de force piece, he splits himself into multiple Ronsons (Happy, Paul, and Titch, among others) to get to the bottom of credit card companies' predatory tactics and the murky, fabulously wealthy companies behind those tactics. Amateur nuclear physicists, assisted-suicide practitioners, the town of North Pole, Alaska's Christmas-induced high school mass-murder plot: Ronson explores all these tales with a sense of higher purpose and universality, and suddenly, mid-read, they are stories not about the fringe of society or about people far removed from our own experience, but about all of us.
Incisive and hilarious, poignant and maddening, revealing and disturbing — Ronson writes about our modern world, the foibles of contemporary culture, and the chaos that lies at the edge of our daily lives.

50th Anniversary of the Rosenberg Executions
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg died in the electric chair on June 19, 1953. They were the first civilians to be executed for espionage in U.S. history. The couple had been found guilty of conspiring to share atomic secrets with the Soviet Union.
The debate over what really happened and how the couple should have been punished continues to this day. Questions remain about the key witness against them, Ethel Rosenberg's brother, David Greenglass.
Joining NPR's Neal Conan for a discussion about the case 50 years later are Robert Meeropol, the Rosenbergs' youngest son, and Sam Roberts, author of The Brother: The Untold Story of the Rosenberg Case.

Helps to curb cravings for snacks in between meal times
Reviewer2427375により Apr 24, 2013 に掲載
After taking this for close to a week, I can actually feel "fuller" and will snack a lot less or not at all in between meals. You tend to eat less in one meal too. I think this will lead to weightloss because one tends to eat less when taking this capsule 1hr before a meal. I saved some $$ because I eat less too haha. Hopefully I can see results after a month. Will probably need some exercise too.

I really do seem to have less desire for sweet things with taking this every morning. I have only been using it first thing in the mornings and now I have a green smoothie for breakfast and it pretty much fills me up until lunchtime. I feel alot better for it.
Doesn't Work. No Weight Loss, Inconsistent ingredients

Tried a whole bottle as instructed. As I am not able to swallow capsules, i remove the casing and consume them directly. Sometimes very sour, sometimes, salty, sometimes no taste (this is fine). My conclusion is that its not consistent in the contents, no weight loss, does not work.
I didn't use it alot

I am curious to know how WPF figures out where the focus should be set when the user hits the TAB key. Thinking aloud, I feel:
- It may be doing relative search on the UI and find the nearest control based on (x,y) location.
- It could manually walk the logical sub-tree to look for the nearest control
Does it do it each time the TAB key is pressed ?

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
All California-born Rei Shimura really wants is to lead her quiet life in Tokyo as an antiques dealer while learning more about her Japanese relatives, but Massey, of course, has other plans for her in this absorbing cross-cultural puzzle, the sixth in the series (after 2001's The Bride's Kimono). On her way home from Washington, D.C., Rei stops in San Francisco to spend Christmas with her parents and do some research on Japanese decorative objects, including some belonging to her family. Her Scottish boyfriend, lawyer Hugh Glendinning, is involved in a reparation case for victims who were used as slave labor by corporations during WWII. Holiday festivities take on an edge when the woman Hugh is in town to question is murdered, Rei uncovers some potentially disturbing information about her own family's role in the war and a young Japanese medical student boarding with the family disappears. All trails seem to lead to Tokyo, where Rei returns to her beloved apartment and her relatives hoping for resolution. She and Hugh, however, soon find themselves embroiled in some very nasty business leading to her deportation back to San Francisco. Massey poses some deeply resonating questions about guilt and responsibility, while Rei faces some universal truths about families, loyalty and dealing with the past no matter how unpleasant it may be. Hugh's Christmas proposal guarantees intriguing complications ahead. FYI: Massey has won Agatha and Macavity awards.

From Booklist
After briefly veering off course with The Bride's Kimono (2001), Massey is squarely back on track with this sixth, and possibly best, entry in her series starring young Japanese American Rei Shimura. This time the action takes place both in San Francisco, where Rei's parents reside, and in Rei's home city of Tokyo. Deciding to take a brief sabbatical from her antiques business, Rei is researching Shimura family history, in particular, how the family lived before dramatic modernization in the 1960s. Rei's boyfriend, Scottish attorney Hugh Glendinning, is researching a lawsuit that also involves Japanese history: restitution for Asian women forced into prostitution by large Japanese companies during World War II. The couple's blissful time together is soon shattered when one of Hugh's clients is killed and another seriously wounded. To make matters worse, both Rei and Hugh's projects initiate several confrontations with Rei's Japanese father. Massey deftly weaves fascinating historical and cultural detail into a suspenseful plot. A cliffhanger ending leaves the door open for the series to chart more new territory. Jenny McLarin

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
I agree with other reviewers: This series is best read from beginning to end. But if you've been following Rei Shimura and have come to care about the heroine, this volume offers background into the heroine's life and how she has been formed into a unique individual -- someone who grew up in the US but lives comfortably in Japan.
The plot was a little far-fetched and there is some reliance on coincidence. Most readers will smell a rat as soon as they meet the character who turns out to be the villain, although the connection won't seem at all obvious. However, I didn't mind and didn't question the plot or the motive until I put the book down, after a long and satisfying read.
And Rei's alliance with Hugh should lead to more adventures. As others have noted, the author is at
her best when she's writing about Japan. However, beginning with The Bride's Kimono, I suspect the author wants to write more about the US. And I'll look forward to the next volume in the series, no matter where it takes place.
A change of setting was a new twist Massey gave the reader in this book, splitting Rei's time between her hometown of San Francisco, and her beloved, adopted home in Tokyo. I thought this split helped character development - the reader got to know Rei and her background even more than in previous novels. Her love life has finally stablized with on-again, off-again beau, Scottish man Hugh Glendinning.
While Rei is visiting her parents in SF, she is working on a family history document. Hugh is a central character as he navigates his way through a class action lawsuit against former WWII slave laborers. As her involment in both projects grow, Rei comes to understand her own roots even more fully.
If you've never read one of Massey's books before, this will be a treat (and go grab the others, too!). If you are looking for guns, violence, and hard language, look elsewhere. Massey's lack of these things makes her novels a haven for me! If you have enjoyed her novels before, this one, I believe, will not be a disappointment.
Stuck with her parents in their San Francisco homestead, Rei is in turn pleased to be spoiled, and chafing under the bit to get back to her privacy in Japan. But she has a strange house guest, a native Japanese student, to contend with--as well as the ardent courtship of her long-time boyfriend, the sexy Scots lawyer Hugh Glendinning.
While contending with the usual East-West contradictions of her everyday life, Rei is contenting herself with researching and writing her family's history. But she uncovers more than she bargained for when it turns out that her grandfather actually tutored Emperor Hirohito--and may have been part of a right-wing Japanese political group that fostered the ultimate events of World War II. Now Rei has to face the Japan of the War, and contrast it with the modern-day Japan, her much-beloved adopted country--and the country of her father.
Add to that the top-secret case that Hugh is working on, which concerns reparations for Japanese war crimes, and one gets an idea of Rei's state of mind. For the first time, she becomes distant from her father and her family as she searches her soul for who she really is.
The answer is there, and always has been, for the enchanted reader to see--and when Rei ultimately finds herself, there is a wonderful treat in store for her and for us.
but i'm afraid it isn't interesting enough to occupy half a book with i'm afraid. Still this would be forgiveable, would it serve as set up for Rei's return to japan, and were the crime investigated truly engrossing, but unfortunately neither is the case. The end of the story sees Rei back where she started from, unlikely to return to her home of choice before the end of the next book, and the 'case', never Masseys strong suit, is i'm afraid an utter, incoherent mess, that completely failed to grip me (it's finally 'solved', if you will call it that, not so much through logical deduction, but rather a chain of lucky coincidences and the elimination of all other possible suspects aka authorial handwaving). Massey can do, and in the past has done, _much_ better.Read more ›

Villa Rosa far exceeded my expectations. We had the family apartment on the top floor (room 39) and we loved it. The location is outstanding, and the view breathtaking. The apartment is made up of a large master bedroom and an alcove bedroom that is quite separate to the main bedroom plus 2 bathrooms and a huge terrace. It was perfect for our needs.
Each morning I watched the sun rise while sitting on our wonderful terrace marvelling at the amazing view.
Breakfast was served on the balcony each morning. Juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cereal and a basket of baked goods. We ordered a fruit bowl on our first morning which actually lasted us three days, it was so large. The breakfast was simple but it was so nice to have a relaxed breakfast enjoying the view.
The staff at Villa Rosa were always available at the front desk and extremely friendly and helpful.
To put it simply, we loved Positano and Villa Rosa and wish we were still there.

I do use MacMini having Core2Duo Processor ( 2.4 Ghz ).
I am going to upgrade RAM of my MacMini.
Currently It has 2 slots of RAM memory. It has 2GB right now. 1GB per slot.
I am going to buy a new 4GB for a single slot.
- 4GB per a slot
- 1GB per a slot
I have heard that, 32 Bit OS doesn't support more than 4GB. Is it the same case here ?
To find out the architecture of my Mac OS, I used Following command.
uname -p
It shows me i386, It means MacOSX is running 32Bit operating system.
Will there be any problem while upgrading RAM ?
Summarizing My Question
- What is the maximum RAM support in macMini ? ( MacMini 4.1 - new version of macMini)
- Does os architecture is a constraint while upgrading RAM ?
- Does above constraint is applicable to current case ? How ?
