Spanish 21 blackjack is an interesting blackjack variant to play, especially if you like playing blackjack but want to try something a little different. At first glance it appears like the rules favor the dealer, but there are many playing options and bonus money that even the odds.
Play Spanish 21 Blackjack
Remove all of the 10s from each deck that you will be dealing from. The face cards remain in play so that each deck has 48 cards.
Decide how much to bet. Place the bet down on the table in the area designated for bets. It is usually clearly marked with a circle or a square that is big enough to surround the chips you place inside.
Receive two cards. Each player receives two cards, and two cards go to the dealer. The dealer's cards remain face down until all cards have been dealt. The dealer will then turn the first card face-up for all players to see.
Decide how to play your hand. The object of the game is to create a hand that adds up to 21 without going over. Your choices are to hit (take another card), stand (stay as is), double down (double the bet and receive one card), split (create another hand) or take a late surrender (check to see if the dealer has blackjack before proceeding).
Have the dealer reveal the hidden card. The dealer will stand on 17 or higher and will hit if the score is 16 or lower.
Determine which players win once the dealer has his final hand--the person with the hand that equals closest to 21 without going over is the winner.
Know that Spanish 21 blackjack has many different Bonus 21s, which are bonus money for making an unnatural 21 (not being dealt a blackjack). You will earn 3:2 if you have five cards, a six, seven and eight from mixed suits or three sevens from mixed suits. You'll earn an even better score of 3:1 if you use seven or more cards to make blackjack, if you have a six, seven and eight of spades or if you have three sevens of spades.

We've seen this scenario before. Bo and Hope are at odds, and there's another woman in his bed. Recycling is good for the environment, but bad for storylines.
Waiting for
to say "goose" and end the anticipation? Yep, me, too. If two weeks ago was like a sideshow barker getting us all excited for Sweeps, last week was like waiting in the crowd for the show to begin. We're in the tent and that's a good start, but I couldn't help but keep looking at my watch. I mean, it has to start soon, right.
However, I can't say the entire week was one big stall tactic. There were some happenings around Salem that haven't happened before, some occurrences that should occur more often, and a few events that were less than eventful. Let's discuss...
Wow. Hope. Carly. The same scene. As a person who remembers Hope's swan dive into the acid vat and Carly's first spin around Salem when she helped Bo "love again," it was a bit odd to see them together. It was like watching the Ghosts of Christmas Past and Present chatting in the wings while waiting for the Ghost of Christmas Future to wrap things up so they can all go grab a beer. Or whatever it is ghosts drink.
However, I'm still scratching my head a bit. I can't say their meeting was as thrilling as I thought it would be, nor can I say I was entirely disappointed. The un-thrilling part was easy to pinpoint. We've seen this scenario before. Bo and Hope are at odds, and there's another woman in his bed. It reminded me a lot of Bo and Billie in the motel room. Bo and Billie in the pit filled with gas. Bo and Billie...well, you get the picture. Recycling is good for the environment, but bad for storylines.
On the flipside , watching Kristian and Crystal play off each other was very entertaining. They both have great chemistry with Peter, and it was fun to look for the common denominator. Not to mention they're both simply stellar actresses. Bravo!
But, sadly, Hope's still being a pissy pants and that killed a bit of the enjoyment. I even think she would've had more of a case against Bo if she would've stopped with the entire "another woman in our bed so soon" argument. But she kept yapping and brought out the "you're bringing danger to our house" shtick. Bad move, Fancy Face. You lost all credibility--or what little you had left. Bo was right, the gander and goose should be on the same page -- equality is the way to go, I tell you.
I also think Ciara was right for excluding Hope from her photo collage of things she's grateful for. I know Justin was trying to help, but she wouldn't be on my project these days, either. And if I had to put her on, I'd use the funhouse-mirror image, as Hope's personality has been greatly distorted lately.
Yet even with all of that said, I don't think Hope turned Carly in. That's way too obvious. Sure, she was ticked, acting insecure, and shaken by Victor's spook story, but I don't think she'd step that far over the bitch line. I hope not, anyway. Just in case, I'll put the crew at
When Good Characters Go Wrong
on standby with their tranquilizer guns.
I also don't think it was Justin. He's a pretty laid-back, fair guy. And he really doesn't have a reason to turn Carly in. I suspect Justin simply looks at her as "Bo's problem." Although, like Hope and Justin, I'm very anxious to find out all of Carly's reasons for killing Crazy Larry, as well as the extent of his evilness. But back to who turned her in -- was it Victor, Vivian, or coincidence?
First, and a bit off-subject, I still enjoy watching Victor and Hope bond. It's kind of surreal, but interesting nonetheless. With that said, Victor's no dummy. He knows Carly's on the run. He knows Carly trusts Bo. And his Spidey Senses were probably tingling when Hope brought up Carly out of the blue. Either that or he heard Hope and Justin talking about Carly being in Salem. After all, Victor is known to lurk in the shadows of the Kiriakis Mansion. So, was it Victor? He's vindictive enough, and has an irrational hatred of most women a Kiriakis man comes in contact with, especially ex-wives, but I'm not sold. I think there's more to the story...
That leads me to Vivian! Were the "police" who showed up actually the notorious Alamain storm troopers from Lawrence Land? Or did Vivian merely phone the actual "police?" Auntie Viv did find out where Carly was right before Carly was nabbed. But I think Viv wants to deal with Carly herself. Therefore I don't think she called, either. Coincidence? That's what it's looking like, although...
Perhaps Viv did, in fact, call the police. That could make sense, too. I could see her pulling some legal strings to help Carly get off the official hook, thus establishing a sense of trust, only to torment the hell out Carly for a long time to come. Pure vindictive evilness? That's my vote!
Speaking of evil, Crazy Pants Meredith had a mental breakdown after getting off a plane in Orlando. Maybe she was just excited to see Disney World, folks. In any event, I just gave this storyline wrap-up more time than the writers did, so I'll move on...
Last week was like a last-minute sale on guilt trips, stating the obvious, and driving home points that have already been driven from Salem to Santa Barbara and back again. Points taken, Higs. We got it. So, now that everything's clear, let's take a look at what the mix and match Baby-Swap Crew was up to...
: I was impressed by Arianna's compassion at the beginning of the week. She pointed out how the baby reveal will profoundly impact Mia. I think it's been an aspect of the storyline easy to forget amongst the more visible craziness. So, sure, I'm glad Ari remembered Mia's feelings. Props to her for that!
However, her compassion seemed to end there. Sure, she was looking out for Rafe's "best interests" with the whole E.J. argument, but even suggesting not telling Sami about Sydney so Rafe doesn't lose her is cold. Frigid, actually. I give Rafe props for promptly nixing her idea...and I officially take away the props I gave Ari above. Hmm, maybe I see why Brady fell for her, after all -- Ari's thought process was a little Nicole-ish of her.
: Interesting, Nicole actually showed a little compassion last week. No, it wasn't towards Sami for stealing her baby and mooching off of her. No, not towards the husband she duped. And, no, it wasn't towards Mia or Chad, whose baby died. It was towards Brady, who had a fight with his girlfriend. Right. Well, at least she didn't blame him for something this time around. That's a start.
: These two have tenacity. I'll give them that. And I've thoroughly enjoyed them scheming together. But I'm glad that it looks like their song-and-dance number is winding down. It's been enjoyable and I hope they perform together again someday, but, for the time being, I'm ready for the next act to begin.
: Technically, Kate and Victor aren't really involved directly with the Baby-Swap Crew, but I needed a place to put them. Okay, I can spin this -- Kate seemed concerned about Stefano's involvement with Nicole, and Nicole warned Kate not to upset Stefano (which was great). There. Done.
My original point -- I like the fact that Kate seems to be falling for Stefano. There's something twisted and poetic about it. However, I always thought Caroline was the only woman in Victor's heart, but I think I caught a little green-eyed monster surfacing when he saw Stefano and Kate locking lips. This could be one heck of a storyline--keep digging, writers!
: Everything Stefano said was one big sales pitch to get E.J. to take Nicole back (READ: get Sydney back into the mansion). However, I found their scenes to be interesting nonetheless. There was a tenderness to some of them that reminded me that Stefano does perhaps feel a little guilty for what he's doing. But that's just successful set-up on the writer's part -- they're raising the stakes. Well played, Higs.
: And speaking of well played...E.J. and Sami playing nice doesn't happen often, which made their scene in the cemetery an even nicer surprise. They really do blur the line between love and hate, don't they? In fact, these two fascinate me. They've done such vile, hateful, seemingly unforgivable things to each other, yet there is this simultaneously calm and frantic understanding and awareness of each other that just bubbles to the surface when they're around one another. I think a lot of that has to do with James and Ali's chemistry. All in all, good stuff.
Now, I didn't expect E.J. to totally forgive Sami just yet, and I don't think she did, either, but it was a step in the right direction. My only concern is for "Ejami" fans -- it's fine to celebrate this latest milestone, but just remember that Higley usually only likes to throw one Ejami bone per year. Which only proves a little teasing is fine, but even the most patient person snaps at some point and screams, "Hand it over already!" Stay strong, Ejami fans.
: I was a little confused when he showed up on Sami's doorstep. It threw me off to see Sami as the "sitcom mom" that all the kids go to with problems. However, by the end of their conversation, I found myself having a little sympathy for Chad.
I knew he claimed to love Mia and flashbacks seemed to support that evidence, yet Chad's been such an unlikable twit lately that I had a hard time remembering that. After their talk, I got the message loud and clear. I still don't think he was ready, or perhaps even really wanted, to be a dad, but he made it clear his heart was broken, and that deserves a shred of sympathy. Although I think Sami should have another talk with him about talking to himself in the middle of the Java Caf�. That was a little creepy.
: All things considered, I think Will actually handled Mia's party-whore lie well. Heck, it even impressed me that he knew she was lying (at first, anyway). Sure, he uttered the obligatory "I never, ever want to see you again" line, but that's normal Anger Lingo 101. Besides, we all know he'll see her again in study hall the next day at school.
Point being, Will has major trust issues. Of interest, he once said he would never forgive someone if they lied to him. Mia has lied to him before, and, surprisingly, he's accepted her apologizes and moved on. So, for him to forgive her all of the other times - I don't think it's that ridiculous that he can't handle any more. There does reach a limit when enough's enough, and I say props to Will for acknowledging that.
But, of course, we know Mia's covering up a lie with another fib wrapped up in a big old blanket of untruths. Still, I constantly have to remind myself that she's not that innocent. She sold her baby and has done a lot of lying since, yet I can't help but root for her for some reason. I don't think all her bad decisions should be excused, but they can at least be met with the understanding that she's young and scared senseless. Hmm, what's Nicole's excuse again?
: It was interesting to watch Sami withdraw her mama bear claws! I didn't think she had that much restraint. Of course, that was all thanks to Nicole and one of the most spot-on lines of the week, "Sami, didn't you make mistakes when you were a teenager? Yeah, I think you did." Yeah, Nicole's right. And it's amazing how she's actually good at dishing out advice even though her life is such a mess.
All in all, I liked Sami and Mia's scenes. If nothing else, they displayed how much Sami's matured and that she's no longer ruled solely by selfishness and vengeance. Well, the vengeance aspect might not last after she finds out what Nicole did, but I digress. The scenes were good.
Sami and Nicole's scenes later in the week -- not as good. They basically had one last hurrah to really prove they're pals. Sami sang Nicole's praises. Nicole called Sami something else. They were basically one hair braid and retainer away from a sleepover. We get the point. Sami trusts her.
: Wow, Ari's a horrible liar. The girl can't make up an excuse to save her life. Roman must have been high when he hired her to go undercover. That's all. Moving on...
: He's doing an incredibly noble thing for Sami. I assume, and appreciate, he doesn't want to get her hopes up or prematurely destroy her relationship with Nicole if he's wrong about Sydney. Nope, I don't doubt that he's doing things in her "best interest." He even impressed me with his super-sneaky secret-agent hat trick. And if he would be as open and honest with Sami as he was with Arianna on Friday, I could actually grow to tolerate the guy.
However, Rafe wasn't open and honest with Sami. And I still can't stomach how much of a hypocrite the guy is. It irks me to no-end that he can be arrogant enough to ask Sami to trust him with her future, yet he doesn't trust her with his past. Not even his recent past, knowing how worried she was while he was away. It makes me even more nauseous that Sami's going along with it now, "no questions asked." If I may break out the retro slang -- gag me with a spoon. That also applies to their Danloe-ish booty call.
Yes, I called it a "booty call." When an ex shows up after a long absence, a slew of unanswered phone messages, and basically says, "Nope, I can't tell you where I was, what I was doing at your place when you caught me sneaking out of it, or where I'm going, but, sure, I have time for a quickie," that's a booty call. And, as they say on
30 Rock
, "That's a deal breaker, ladies."
Finally, as for Rafe demanding to know, "What the hell is he doing there?" when he heard E.J. with Sami -- that made me want to see Meredith come back with her brick. Seriously, Rafe!? I think that pretty much backs up the hypocrite argument.
: They stared at each other while dramatic music played. Yep, I think that covers it. And that concludes our "BABY-SWAP CREW" section.
I don't want to read too much into their "chance meeting" just yet, but it was interesting. E.J. thinks he knows who Ari is. Ari thinks she has E.J.'s evil number. However, they're both pretty wrong. This could be an interesting pair to watch.
Even though many of us saw Brady and Arianna ending badly, again, I was impressed by one thing -- Eric Martsolf. His performance was great! And I don't blame Brady for flipping out. I'd probably feel the same way. Well, I probably wouldn't go through someone's drawers, but I'd yell at them--or at least raise my voice a bit! I'm a bit of a pacifist, nevertheless, Brady's approach worked for him, and that works for me. Kudos!
Isn't it funny that even in Mel's daydream at the Java Caf�, one from her perspective, Philip came off as a little sleazy? And that was before she remembered her night at the no-tell-motel with him...while she was in the sack with Nathan, of course. Well, at least she didn't call out Dimples' name like
I worried about last week
. However, that doesn't get her off the inappropriate memory hook.
Unless your name is John Black, we all have memories. Some are good and some are not so good. I would've guessed Mel's memories of her and Philip's motel romp would fall on the "not so good" side, given the outcome -- heartbreak, rejection, inadvertent Internet sex tap e, disgrace, public humiliation, and so on.
But my guess seemed to be wrong. She seems to remember that night fondly. I get the similarities that might trigger her memory, but it's still kind of peculiar to remember the night you were emotionally destroyed while in bed with a new beau . I think Mel needs a little couch time with Sami, Salem's newest go-to amateur shrink or, at the very least, she should listen to Brady's advice. But something tells me that's not going to happen. Yet I was glad to see that Philip was a little less sleazy in person than he was in her daydream. That's...ah...
As for Nathan, I second what I wrote last week, "Poor guy." I suggest he gathers all of Salem's single men to have a guy's night out to lift his spirits. On second thought, that would basically consist of Lucas, Brady, and Philip. Two recovering addicts and the man who stole his girl. That might be just a
awkward. But at least he got to save the day at the Brady Pub. That has to count for something.
: I thought it was great that some of Salem's finest sons were remembered last week. First, I was thrilled that Stefano brought up Tony! Sure, it made me miss Thaao, but it did give validity to Stefano's argument that E.J. should love Sydney regardless of DNA. Plus, I enjoyed Stefano's "life is precious" speech later in the week -- that was a good father/son moment even though it was more of a sales pitch. The second son remembered -- Carly and Bo talked about Shawn-Douglas! It was a quick moment, no doubt, but Carly was close to Shawn-D, and I'm glad that didn't go overlooked. And, generally speaking, it was nice the writers brought up Shawn-D. It feels like it's been ages since we've heard his name, Belle's, or Claire's. More, please!
: Whereas Rafe is doing the above-mentioned noble deeds for Sami, I still can't get over all the shadiness. I find it strange that he had enough time for some sofa sex-capades, but didn't have time to explain what happened. I'm still not sure why he can't tell her about Meredith, as it has nothing to do with his super-special secret Sydney investigation. And I think it's kind of sad that he was sneaking around in her penthouse without even trying to let her know he was safe. My better Scooping half made an excellent point. Laurisa said, "Even dumb ol' Chloe asked for Daniel the second she came out of a coma!" Exactly! Rafe claims he loves Sami, but he wouldn't have even spoken to her if she hadn't caught him sneaking out of her place. So how much can he really love her if it's solely on his terms? I've seen many Lifetime movies with similar plots, and by the end, the woman's always singing the blues and nursing a black eye.
Line of the Week:
Vivian (to Gus): "
I'm just going to stretch out and relax and invite the muse of vengeance to put the pieces in place of my plan--and then anticipate the hell out of the end of Carly Manning.
" Diabolic greatness at it's best!
An honorable mention goes to Victor's comment to an angry Brady - "Can we discuss this at a lower decibel level?" HA!
Yet another week
"Danloe" but
Vivian!? Again, thank you, soap gods!
Carly said to Hope that kids grow up. Hope responded, "If you're lucky." Hello, uncomfortable.
I think "bitter enemies" E.J. and Sami have a better custody arrangement than Bo and Hope at this point.
I also think Carly should bunk with Ciara so they can swap nightmare stories. Spooky!
It was short and not nearly sweet enough, but we got to see the elusive Caroline Brady! However, it seems she's on Santa's once-a-year visiting schedule -- boo.
The mystery is solved -- Ari lives above the pub.
Hmm...Sami needs a job...Ari just quit hers...
Rafe got his "one-stop shopping for DNA" done, but won't Sami miss her toothbrush?

This review will contain spoilers for Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, (naturally) but shouldn't contain any major spoilers for Before Midnight.
Do you ever feel like indie romances have lost their grasp on believable relationships? Hell, most mumblecore films don't even have a pair of three-dimensional characters to rub together. Happily, another nine years on from Before Sunrise, and its sequel Before Sunset, the trio of director Richard Linklater and stars/co-writers Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have lost none of the mastery displayed in Jesse and Celine.
Before Midnight picks up with the pair living in France. After the tantalising open ending of Sunset, Jesse resolved to leave his wife and son in order to be with Celine, a decision that has repercussions throughout this third instalment. Now in their 40s, Jesse and Celine have twin daughters of their own, and they're spending the summer on holiday in Greece. Jesse has just put his now-teenaged son, Hank, on a plane back to his mother in America, and once he and Celine have some time alone, they take stock of how their lives have changed.
This series of films is a marvel, and there's no sense in burying the lede- Before Midnight is a fantastic continuation from the first two films. The only other series like it, in terms of how difficult it is to pick a favourite, is Toy Story. Perhaps it's because, like Pixar, Linklater et al aren't building a franchise. This is going to be about as exciting to your more discerning cineaste as a new Marvel Studios film is to the blockbuster crowd, but the unassuming tone of the first two instalments remains intact. They haven't broke the bank, brought in any big new stars or even excessively marketed the film. We're just dropping in on this couple again, not because that's a franchise formula, but because it would feel false otherwise.
By now, Hawke and Delpy just inhabit these roles. Their performances have always been quite naturalistic, and experience hasn't dulled the effect of their portrayal. As before, their work here shows the advantage of having actors involved in the creation of the script, as opposed to the altogether more shaky tendency of having actors improvise from story beats. The latter has become the vogue in all sorts of movies these days, but the Before way worked in 1995, it worked in 2004, and it works especially well now.
As ever, the appeal comes from the conversations between the two leads, which shouldn't really work in a crucially visual medium like film. If two people talking would come off as purely theatrical, the series' signature tracking shots remain just as powerful in engaging the audience, walking us along with them. Granted, we're a little in front of them, and we're walking backwards, but even three films in, it's surprisingly engrossing. That unassuming wit works nicely too- the dialogue is funny when it's supposed to be, but doesn't allow pause for laughter. If you've seen the first two, you already know what I mean here.
But in Midnight, there's also the added bonus that we're shown how they haven't had chance to just hang out and shoot the shit since they had kids. They're not the young romantics who met in Vienna, back in Sunrise. Some may complain that their twins aren't hugely present in the film, (I don't think they're even named) but that's the entire point- we're now dropping in on them at a time in their lives where we're unlikely to find them alone. There are other couples-- some older than Jesse and Celine, and some much younger-- introduced into the mix early on, and even though Celine despairs of that conversation later on, their interaction works, and never comes off as enclosed or pretentious.
Even though the new characters are generally pretty well integrated, it's still mostly down to our main couple, over the course of a few hours, leading up to the titular time of day. Once they're on their own though, they're not just shooting the shit, but dragging shit up. Jesse can't help but notice that his son gets along better with Celine, when he feels Hank abandoned him for her, while Celine isn't prepared to put her own plans on hold for Jesse for much longer. Aside from filling in the gap since we last caught up with them, it really gives the sense that they deliberately haven't been talking about this stuff. Now that they're older, they eventually have to fight it out. The film never devolves into a series of arguments, but by this point, you can feel for both characters and fully sympathise with both of their perspectives- again, it's just engrossing.
Before Midnight is beautifully written and acted, and it cements the feeling of the previous film; that we can drop in on these characters some time after we last saw them, and find they have moved on with their lives, and still know them better than most movie characters. Upon reaching trilogy status, it also serves as the perfect antidote to blockbuster fatigue- Jesse and Celine don't have to fight a single alien, but their own problems and personalities feel earth-shaking while you're embroiled in them. In nine years' time, I could be saying this same thing at the end of my review of a fourth instalment, but it bears saying anyway- I can't wait until the next time we drop in on them.
Before Midnight is still showing in selected cinemas nationwide, and will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 28th.
If you've seen Before Midnight, why not share your comments below? Here's looking forward to 2022!
I'm Mark the mad prophet, and until next time, don't watch anything I wouldn't watch.

Naturalist Beach Resort - Reader Reports & Opinion
Guest Report
Avian De Gannes from Trinidad visited in March 2008 and awarded
For the two nights I stayed at the Naturalist I had to switch rooms, and so I got a taste of two of the rooms instead of just one. I spent the second night of my stay in Salmon, a cozy, fully self- contained room just a few footsteps away from the sea. I didn't much mind the switch from the Blue Marlin Suite on the first night because I gave short notice and was "squeezed" into the schedule..... Thank you Ancle.
My one night stay at the Blue Marlin Suite was more than I expected. The view of the sun setting over the beautiful Caribbean Sea is absolutely breathtaking. This short get away gave to me exactly what I needed (stress relief), and proved to be much more than I bargained for. The true surprise however, came later in the evening. On Sundays, there is a buffet style Bar- B- Que Dinner done at the Naturalist, which features some form of local entertainment everytime. It was fantastic! I had no intentions of leaving that place to return to my normal routine and my job!!!
I definitely plan on returning soon!
Guest Report
Kelli Hyatt from U.S.A. visited in March 2008 and awarded
We stayed in the Blue Marlin suite, and it was sweet!
The views were unbelievable, the room was nice (no hot water), we had a lot of privacy and felt the room was perfect for our trip with an infant ( he napped while we ate the included breakfast below the room with the stairway within arms reach and sight heading up to the room)
Additionally we enjoyed snorkeling in the bay with one person basking on the deck while the baby napped.
The staff is friendly and helpful.
A tip: the arranged pick-up didn't go so smooth and we ended up hiring a cab for half the price both times.
Car rental is worth it, especially to go into the rain forest and over to pirates bay.
Castara is a gorgeous little fishing village, we bought tuna from a fisherman as fresh as it gets.
The room was clean and pretty, with an electronic safe. Panoramic views.
well worth the extra money.
Guest Report
Marva A Lovelace from Trinidad visited in November 2007 and awarded
I was an extremely satisfied customer. Ancil ensured that our needs were meet. I have and will continue to recommend the Resort to my friends and family. The location is safe, clean and relaxing.
Guest Report
Gavin Parsons from Canada visited in November 2007 and awarded
We loved our stay at the Naturalist. We had stayed a couple of days up the road at the Sea Level and it was like moving to the Hilton after that experience.
Ancil, the owner, was very accomadating and informative.
The room, although small, was very clean and well maintained. The staff looked after the room every day and we were very pleased with their service
The best part is the location, right on the beach.
The village is a very friendly place to be, although it can seem small after a few days. We bought all our food and bread from the local venders. Also it is great to get the fresh seafood in the afternoon when the fisherman come in from their day on the ocean.
The two beaches are great for sunbathing and swimming and there are some nice walks, especially up to the waterfall.
We rented a car from Ancil, which was in good condition and well priced. It is almost essential to rent a car if you want to see any of the country. Other transport is just to unreliable. We reccomended the Naturalist to our honeymooning son & daughter-in-law. They stayed in the Kingfish room and agree with our synopsis.
I would highly reccomend "The Naturalist" to anyone going to Castara.
Guest Report
K.Armstrong from Ireland visited in June 2007 and awarded
My husband and I stayed in the Naturalist for 4 nights in mid June. It was our first time in Tobago, and having done our research on accommodation we were pleased to find that we had definately made the right choice.
We stayed in the Kingfish room which is at the front of the building and has a little porch with beach views. The room was basic but spotlessly clean (in fact it was cleaned every day!), and with the seabreeze we found no need for aircon. It was great to walk 10m from our room, straight onto the beach, and have a swim - it is one of the few properties in Castara which is right on rhe beach.
Ancle (owner/manager) lives 'on site' and was most helpful during our stay without being overbearing. He was always on hand, and we hired a jeep from him for one day to go to Charlottesville.
Because we were only in Castara for 4 days we chose not to do too much self catering - cafe delight (under the blue marlin suite) served breakfast, and we were able to get lunch or dinner at the almond tree or marguerites - other restaurants were closed as it was low season. We found dinner prices to be a little higher than expected but the food was always tasty. We also enjoyed meeting some of the locals at the recently opened 'D Lime' bar.
In summary, would highly recommend the Naturalist -friendly staff, clean well priced rooms, and a great beachfront location in one of the nicest villages on Tobago.

tda8560 audio amp wiring problem
Hi.. I am having a problem hooking up a TDA8560 chip on a breadboard. I expect that I do not fully understand how to establish connections to the inverting and noninverting pins... I mocked up a crude pcb layout that illustrates the connections... Can someone help me with the wiring - indicate what I have do incorrectly? This is the datasheet: TDA8560Q Datasheet catalog
P.S. I searched previous entries on the tda8560 chip - but either the information was not available or it didn't help.. I really think the problem is trivial for some experts out there - please lend a hand if you can... My son and I would really appreciate it... |

That chip doesn't have "inverting / non-inverting" inputs. It only has left / right inputs. Not sure what you're asking.
Edit: One thing I see: This chip uses a "bridged" output mode. You do not want to connect the speaker neg's to ground. They must float. (Note pin 6.) Also looks like you have pin 9 grounded. Thats the positive speaker output of the other channel. Last edited by Artie; 16th March 2010 at 11:45 PM. |

Sorry for all the "edits". When you flip back and forth from one diagram to the other, you miss stuff.
To summarize, it looks like pins 6 and 9 should not be grounded. |

Thanks for answering...
well, I assumed that the triangle for pins 4, 6, 7, 9 where op amps... I guess if 9 is wrong, then 6 is probably as well... I removed both and updated the jpg. What has me puzzled in looking at the datasheet is how to connect the + - portions of each pin (4, 6, 7, 9)... I can understand things from the speaker point of view... I just don't understand how to connect the - portion of pin 4 with the positive of pin 6, 9 - with + pin 7... And then how they relate back to the 30k divider... Looking at how I configured the 30k portion, did I connect everything correctly? Am I missing connections? Take for example on the datasheet, there is a line going from pin 1 to the negative side of pin 6... How do I make that connection? |

Hi Artie.... well, I certainly didn't now that (block/internal diagram). Other people keep telling me just look at the diagram.... Bummer...
Just a couple of more questions: Does the mode switch have to be configured? - and pin 12? In my diagram I laid out I think the mode switch configuration - is that right? I figured that I could emblish things once I got sound out of the chip.. Incidentally, you haven't worked with this specific chip, have you? |

I don't think that pin 12 must be configured, but if it was me, I'd add the circuit that they show on page 11 of that data sheet. (Fig 7) That will help prevent turn-on pops.
I've never used that particular chip before, but I've repaired many a car stereo. BTW, thats 40-watts in car-stereo speak, (at 10% THD). In reality, expect closer to 15 - 20. Its not clear if pin 12 can float or not, but to be safe, I'd put a 10k - 20k resistor from pin 12 to +V. (Pin 3 or 10.) Last edited by Artie; 17th March 2010 at 09:24 AM. |

I hope those Tessera Imaging and Optics employees who didn't get the axe in Feb are now busily preparing their resumes....

Wafer level optics and packaging is the only meaningful business. EDOF business is no longer attractive - not many are interested in EDOF nowadays (esp. in cellphones). IP machine at Tessera is not fast enough. OVT was quick to buy patents from Kodak. Tessera should have done that....I feel Tessera days are numbered.

Yestterday morning my neighbor called and wanted to do the same long ride we did last week. It requires us to leave the neighborhood by 4:45 and be on the bikes at the commuter lot by 5:15 in order for me to make it to my office on time. My ride is 20 miles his is 11.
"I'll call you tonight" was the last I heard from him.
This morning I drove to my regular commuter lot that is only 10 miles from the office. At the halfway spot and around 6:30, my cell rings. My my, who could that be?
"Are you riding today?"
"Have you left the house yet?"
We'll talk tonight and maybe do the long ride tomorrow. I did send him a text reminding him that this is bike to work week and also we are in training (sort of), for our seven day tour of the Erie Canal.
The temperature will be around 70 for the ride home tonight and the timing will be just about right for wifey and my dinner date with our friend Gunna who is visiting from Norway. "Meen skol, deen skol, alavaka flika skol. (cheers to me, cheers to you, cheers to all the beautiful girls). So he says.

Biodiversity Conservation Corridors Project (2011 onwards)
One of the major successes of CEP Phase I was the scaling up of its biodiversity conservation corridor pilot work. In 2011, ADB approved grants and loans worth $69 million for Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Viet Nam under a new project to further engage local communities in the sustainable management of important biodiversity landscapes.
Administered by the ADB, the Biodiversity Conservation Corridors Project (BCC) will focus on biodiversity rich forest landscapes of the Cardamom Mountains and Eastern Plains Dry Forest in Cambodia, Tri-border Forest areas located in southern Lao PDR, and the Central Annamites in Viet Nam.
Involving 19 districts in eight provinces and nearly 2 million hectares of forest and non-forest land, BCC will build on the CEP 2006-2009 pilot work undertaken at the Xe-Pian - Dong Hua Sao, Cardamom, Eastern Plains, and Ngoc Linh - Xe Sap BCI sites.
As under CEP, the BCC project will continue reducing ecosystem fragmentation through an integrated conservation and development approach. Capacity building and other support will aim to improve forest and land management as well as strengthen local livelihoods.
More than 34,000 households (over 150,000 people) are expected to benefit.
The GMS Environment Operations Center will provide ongoing technical support to the project.

Mark was an absolutely fantastic host. He provided a wonderful traditional Irish breakfast to start our day of touring castles and pubs and other hidden gems in the countryside. His easy going manner and knowledge of the area made it very easy to keep conversations and laughs rolling. Despite my careful planning, Mark was able to add some real gems to the day's itinerary. I am forever greatful and have a new friend in Ireland.

Wonderful home and excellent, obliging host. Genuine working farm. Gorgeous stately home. True heart in this place. I only stayed the one night but wish I could have stayed longer. Definitely will be back.
John2014-07-22T00:00:00ZRathcam Organic Farm and Diana are worth your driving off your route to meet, to enjoy. It is a beautiful old manse, full of character, full of Diana's passion and dedication to organic farming. The room and bathroom were immaculate, a sumptuous organic breakfast in the conservatory with freshly-picked seasonal fruit and a wonderful menagerie of animals to enjoy. We'd return in a heartbeat, highly recommend.
Jennifer2016-07-26T00:00:00ZWe were given a very warm welcome. Diana provided two spotless stables for our ponies. Our rooms were immaculate and comfortable. We found the location to be a little remote but the farm and surrounding area is gorgeous.
Kathryn2016-08-04T00:00:00ZIt was like stepping away from all the chaos into tranquility. Diana is generous and attentive and very accommodating. It felt like home. Thank you for a lovely stay in a beautiful, scenic and peaceful environment.
Micheline2016-06-06T00:00:00ZWe have a wonderful experience there even if short. She and her family are really welcoming and we felt at home since the first moment we arrived. Unfortunately we stayed there only one night but we hope to come back.
Silvia2014-08-24T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our brief stay and the old world, quaint charm of Rathcam, in a beautiful, peaceful country setting. Diana made us feel welcome and served a nourishing breakfast tailored to our preferences.
Peter2016-05-05T00:00:00Z¡Excelente estadía! Las dos noches que estuvimos no fueron suficientes para poder disfrutar del lugar. Nos quedamos con ganas de más. Muy bueno el desayuno y todo es tal cual lo describen las fotos. Diana es una persona exquisita y una excelente anfitriona y nos hizo sentir muy cómodos. ¡ Muchas gracias Diana, esperamos volver!

Mark was an excellent host! He helped us so much getting to his place after we encountered some issues with our travels. The house was very large and accommodating.
Brian2016-05-31T00:00:00ZGreat for our purpose, Mark was a wonderful host and so nice to come home to a turf fire set for us every night
Jenny2016-10-04T00:00:00ZWe stayed with Mark for a fantastic 4 days, the hospitality was outstanding and the food was excellant, be assured we will visit again. It's not the 'Ritz' but who wants that sort of accomodation when there is open wood fires and a comfortable atmosphere, Mark makes you feel at home from the minute he greets you at the door, as if he's known you for years.
Anne2015-04-30T00:00:00ZWe very much enjoyed our stay! Mark was a wonderful host and responded quickly with all communication. He had plenty of recommendations for what to do in the area. For our first night he prepared a fantastic meal for the 9 of us. It was delicious! The house is very spacious and clean, beds comfy.
Antoinette2016-08-09T00:00:00ZMark is a remarkable host who greeted us most warmly despite the fact that our arrival was at an ungodly hour. His geniality, hospitality and generosity were far beyond anything we expected and his sense of fun was infectious. He made our whole stay truly delightful and we would recommend his property unhesitatingly.

Diana gave us a wonderful welcome and changed her plans to meet us after there had been a slight mix up with arrangements. The breakfast was plentiful, delicious and catered for an unusual diet. After breakfast we went for a lovely walk around the farm. Her house and grounds are an idyll, a working farm with mature trees and a walled garden. We had some lovely chats with Diana and her hospitality was exemplary. Thank you.
Darach2014-10-23T00:00:00ZDiana and her family welcomed us right into their lives on the farm. We were able to walk around, enjoy the fresh air and the animals. The evening was a bit rainy and cold, but we snuggled right up to the fire---and then went up to electric blankets on the beds. This is ideal if you want to experience "real life in Ireland" in the setting of a charming farmhouse. Diana was very attentive to our needs, including dietary restrictions of wheat and dairy. Breakfast was delicious! We had a little trouble finding the farm, but Diana was available to help lead us from the city of Mullingar. She is also finishing up a nice sign for the outer gate. :-)
sarah2014-05-07T00:00:00ZSuch a wonderful experience, the farm and house are beautiful, and Diana is the most delightful host! She went above and beyond to help me out. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and staying in her lovely home. It is well worth the trip off the main road to stay on this peaceful farm.
Melissa2014-08-19T00:00:00ZDiana was a wonderful host who made us feel most welcome and added to our great weekend. She really did go out of her way to make things a lot easier for us. Everything was as described and it really was perfect for our needs for the weekend. It is a beautiful and peaceful setting and we were blessed with the weather. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to stay in a relaxed environment slightly off the beaten track.
Jack2016-06-01T00:00:00ZDiana's house and farm are an absolute delight. Days later we are still talking about her simple easy going and honest approach to life. We were made so welcome it made our hearts glow. The breakfast with fresh fruit from the garden free range eggs home made jam and vegan friendly fare would be hard to top. Charging our hybrid car was no problem.
Tony2016-07-25T00:00:00ZWhat a great place for a getaway! I chose Rathcam because it was only an hour from Dublin, and an organic farm. Due to a last-minute change in plans, I ended up travelling solo and by public transport. Diana very kindly collected me from the bus stop in Milltownpass and drove me back after my stay. The house is wonderful, with large, light-filled rooms and lots of original features, including a massive fireplace in the sitting-room, where a welcome log and turf fire made for cosy afternoons of reading and relaxing. My bedroom was huge, and equipped with tea-making facilities. The bed was extremely comfortable, with an electric blanket and hot water to counteract the chilly March nights. As it was lambing season, Diana was terribly busy, but she still managed to lay on a magnificent breakfast in the dining-room each morning. I felt like a queen sitting at the long table, with a hot plate on a side table to keep the porridge and coffee pot warm. There is nothing like the taste of free-range, organic, new-laid eggs! I am delighted to have discovered Rathcam, and will certainly go back. Diana herself is a most interesting person, and it was a pleasure to get to know her. Rathcam is a perfect retreat for Dubs wanting to get out of the city, and for visitors looking to see a bit more than the usual tourist sights. Highly recommended!
Caelinn2014-03-18T00:00:00ZAccommodating with late arrival and early check out. House itself has plenty of character and charm. Would stay again
John2016-09-22T00:00:00ZDiane's Organic Farm is beautifully situated and close to Mullingar. I very much enjoyed the peace and tranquillity. I could take a stroll over the farm(close the gates!) and saw her beautiful cattle, sheep, ducks and hens. The bedroom, as the whole house was spacious and breakfast very good. Diane is a very kind and generous host and made me feel welcome. It was a special stay, I can recommend.

What a beautiful and unique home to stay in. Diana made us feel so welcome. The room was lovely (sheets ironed, tea & coffee, lots of space with some amazing furniture) We spent less than 24 hours there and were made to feel like family rather than visitors. She made us a delightful breakfast in the conservatory with fresh eggs from the chickens. She also spent time showing us around the farm (our request) with lots of stories and information about the place. An ideal country dwelling with an amazing hostess and 1 night wasn't enough.

Myself and a group of friends stayed at Gareth's listing, communication with Gareth was very good and check in was very flexible. Lisa looks after the check in and showed us around, the house itself is great, very spacious with some lovely features. It was a flying visit but I will definitely stay here again when visiting Mullingar, I would highly recommend.

Killian2016-10-21T00:00:00ZGreat communication - the house was lovely and clean much nicer than the pictures. We enjoyed the fireplace! The region around was really nice. Would recommend and return! Thanks.
Sarah 2016-03-15T00:00:00ZThis house was outstanding, it is even nicer than the pics. It has absolutely everything you would need and more, it is very luxurious with the best of everything. We were there as a family for a wedding, the house was perfect for this as we all had our own private space, yet the kitchen and living areas allowed us to be very sociable with each other too. I would recommend this house to anyone, I cant see how you would be disappointed. IT had a pool table, underfloor heating, power showers, washing machine, docking station, Ice, comfortable beds, good heating system, Sky TV, towels and much more
Aideen2015-12-01T00:00:00ZBeautiful house in a nice location beside lough ennel and belvedere house . Owner passed on useful information in advance. Was greeted on arrival and given a very warm welcome and tour if the house. Would highly recommend this place my 2 boys 9/10 loved it and want to go back .
christian2016-06-16T00:00:00ZGreat stay and great hosts
Sarah2017-02-12T00:00:00ZWe started with a group of 9 to stay at the Mullingar residence. Before our planning was complete we were up to 11 people. Gareth was so accomodating , he allowed us to bring all 11 and my 7 year old grandson slept on the couch. The house was spacious, clean and set back in a beautiful area with farms surrounding. Lisa was there when we arrived to show us around. She was very sweet and told us to call anytime, because she was a stones throw away. We had no problems with the house. Location was good for us, 1hr west of Dublin. We were able to go out to the west coast and back in a day and found so much to do. Some of our group went to the Belvedere Gardens, Lough Ennell, and hiking around the are. They said it was great. Grocery shopping was easy to get to . We loved the house and would like to come back to Ireland to visit again someday. Mary Ann, Wayne, Joe, Dot, Scott, Stephanie, Eric, Tabby, Corey, Emily and Conner.

LoicWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Enda and Richie. The house is gorgeous and the room is spacious and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and Enda was warm and welcoming. The setting is beautiful, outside of Mullingar and very quiet for sleeping. We highly recommend Keyfield for any traveler passing this way!
Marilyn2016-11-01T00:00:00ZWe only stayed one night in this wonderful house. The room is large with a beautiful bathroom. It was very clean. Elda and her sons are very nice. We had a nice conversazion with her and one of them in the evening. You have to use the car to go anywhere, but it's only 5 minutes far from Mullingan.
Giorgio2016-08-16T00:00:00ZNous avons reçu un très bon accueil de la part d'Enda et de son mari ,arrivé dans la soirée j'ai pu utiliser sa cuisine en dépannage . Discrète , elle avais mis tout à notre disposition pour notre nuit. La chambre était propre avec tout le nécessaire pour se laver .

After seeing the glowing reviews before our stay, we were not disappointed . Dermot instantly made us feel at home. His home was big and spacious and the bedroom was very comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate at staying here again next time we are passing.
clive2017-01-08T00:00:00ZI traveled to Mullingar to see the town where some of my family once lived many generations ago. I did not expect such a warm welcome from Dermot! He really helped make it feel like i was"home" with family :) Even with a bum ankle he made sure i had hot tea and scones for me and spent the time to give me suggestions on places to dine and see in town-which were ALL perfect. The bed was so comfortable and the bath was spacious. I was also able to wash my clothes, which was heaven after 8 days of traveling!(thank you Liz!) Even though it was a short visit he made it very comfortable. I would highly recommend staying with Dermot when you are in town. Thank you!
Colleen2016-09-27T00:00:00ZDermot was wonderful. We had a lovely visit and his home is quite nice. Bed was comfy and the bathroom very clean. We would definitely stay again if we get the chance, and highly recommend his place to all who would need accommodations in the area! David & Audrey

Garry2017-03-04T00:00:00ZAngela's place was perfect for what we needed. She was friendly, helpful& understanding of a situation. She offered to take us into town and back if needed after our family gathering. The room was great& the beds were comfy. No breakfast served here but town has a few cafes& all day breakfasts menus in some hotels.
Tina2016-10-03T00:00:00ZThe room was comfortable, warm and clean. It was good value for money.this was a convenient stop for travelling with young children. Angela was excellent in communicating with us before hand.

Laura2016-08-26T00:00:00ZWe felt welcome and relaxed. Nice place and nice people. A good place for a weekend getaway, a short walk from town but outside enough to be quaint.

My sisters and I just spent a week at Julie's home in Mullingar and absolutely loved it. Julie was so helpful and accommodating in every way. She picked us up from the bus stop when we arrived and she dropped us back off when it was time for us to leave, which was super helpful since we had all our luggage. Having said that, the bus stops aren't super far from her home (within 15 or 20 minutes' walking distance) which makes it easy access for those without a car. Julie had her delicious (best I've ever had) homemade granola for us in the mornings, which was a great way to start the day. Her house is beautiful and spotless, and in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The shower also has amazing water pressure (something that always makes a difference to me, haha)! Julie was helpful with suggestions on things to do around town, or with any other questions we had for her. Even when we were setting up the trip before we got there and had questions for her, she always responded to my messages promptly, and with helpful information. She also made the house feel like home for the week so we felt very comfortable there. There are fun things to do around, like horseback riding nearby, going to the Belvedere estate, walking down along the canal, or just going into town for some shopping or food (we found a couple very good food places). We had an excellent stay, and highly recommend Julie's home in Mullingar!
Charlotte2016-06-17T00:00:00ZWe had a great last stay in Ireland. The room and the bathroom were very clean and nice. We felt very welcome. Julie prepared a good breakfast the next morning. She is a very lovely person. Had a nice talk with her. We absolutely recommend to stay there!!!!
Nazanin 2016-07-25T00:00:00ZI was delighted to have stayed at Julie's. Her house is homely, spotless and in a good location near town. Julie was the ideal hostess, she provided a lovely breakfast every morning and she was easily reachable before and during my stay, while at the same time I felt free to come and go as I pleased. Highly recommend :)
catherine2016-05-17T00:00:00ZStayed for one night with two friends. We arrived very late due to travelling from London and Julie was waiting for us to arrive. Lovely nights sleep and breakfast. Great Value for money! Thanks Julie :)
Jenn2016-06-03T00:00:00ZFrom the moment we walked through the door of Julie's cheerful and comfortable home we were made to feel welcome. Julie is a charming hostess who went out of her way to make us feel at home. I would highly recommend Julie's home to anyone seeking a stay in the midlands.
Lawrence2016-05-29T00:00:00ZJulie's is a five star and then some. She is the perfect host from picking up at the train to the award winning granola she makes. You will not find better accommodations. If you are interested in Mullingar, the Royal Canal or touring central Ireland this is the place for you. Plenty of parking and a 15 minute walk to downtown. No surprises just high quality. Paul
Paul2016-05-11T00:00:00ZImmaculate accommodations, lovely host, warm welcome! Julie went over and above offering hot fresh coffee and tea when we arrived wet and cold.
Colleen2016-09-08T00:00:00ZJulie was a very welcoming and friendly host. Her home was very comfortable and in a great location. Lovely breakfast the next day too!

Peter was extremely welcoming and made a real effort to ensure we knew where everything was and how things worked. We had a great time and felt really comfortable in Peter's home. Our only problem was that the showers were both throwing out scalding water, but Peter was keen to fix this for us. The village itself was lovely, and Peter invited us to his bar a few doors down for an evening drink.
Camilla2016-08-03T00:00:00ZPeter was a great host and the cottage was in a great location and close to the town of Mullingar. The cottage was clean and perfect a family/friends to stay.
Karen2016-10-12T00:00:00ZPeter's cottage is really cozy, very spacious and comfortable.
Maria Lidia2016-11-08T00:00:00ZPeter's cottage was a great place to stay for our group of eight. It's very spacious and carefully decorated. It's got everything we needed. It was very clean as well. The communication with Peter was easy and we were also greeted with a brief history of the house and the village. The house is nearby the Belvedere House and the Kilbeggan Distillery. Unfortunately, we could only stay one night. We highly recommend this place.
David2016-10-03T00:00:00ZWe stayed two nights at this cottage and loved it. We were a party of 4 adults and two small children and there was plenty of room for everyone. The pics do not do the property justice! The cottage is very spacious, clean and has everything you need. There is a big patio at the back that caught all the sunshine and was lovely to sit out on. The property is in the middle of town and close to everything. Peter was great, very friendly and flexible to deal with. Will definitely be back!
Sinead2016-06-08T00:00:00ZThe House was wonderful. We had a large group of 8 and the space was very comfortable and quaint. Location was really nice. Only 1 hour outside of Dublin easy drive via the M6. Cute town with a fun little restaurant inside of a castle. My kids absolutely loved it.
Lacey2016-07-11T00:00:00ZOh my god, what an amazing place! Even though the photos are great they really don't do this incredible house justice. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable. And Peter was a joy to deal with!
Aileen2016-09-05T00:00:00ZFrom the minute I arrived at the house, I could tell we were in for a treat. Peter was setting the fire in preparation for our arrival! The cottage is so spacious and even more beautiful than in the pictures. The beds were so comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. We cooked there and the kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything you could need to cook with. The sitting room is so cosy and well decorated. The house was so warm and is located right in the middle of the village close to all amenities. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough! We will be back.

Absolutely perfect stay here. Dermot showed us the entire house, our room and apprise us with the house rules. The house is large, spacious, modern and really comfortable. The same can be said about our room, which was very cozy and the day of arrival it looked like room in first-class hotel. We also had our own bathroom, which was absolutely brilliant. About our host... Dermot is an amazing man. I have never seen such kind and willing person before. On the day of arrival we were quite nervous but he did everything to make us feel good in his house. He is communicative and has a great sense of humor. We are very grateful for his help and the opportunity to stay. Last but not least the house is 2 minutes walk from supermarket and filling station. Also the town center is about 10 minutes walk. To sum it up it was a great stay here and we wouldn't change anything. Definitely we recommend this place. Thank you Dermot.
Petruše Jablíčko2016-12-28T00:00:00ZIt was a great stay in Dermots house. Dermot was so nice and helpfully and told us a few things we could go in Mullingar. The house is cosy and we had two bedrooms with two doublebeds for three people. Dermot gave us tea, coffee and breakfast, which was great.
Maria2016-07-18T00:00:00ZDermot was a super host. Very friendly and welcoming. Had tea and scones ready for us but we needed a dinner after a long day at the ploughing. He was more than helpful with information on good eating places nearby and directions to them. Lovely clean house and a beautiful fire burning. Gave us directions back to the ploughing for the following day. Thanks Dermot
Patricia2016-09-23T00:00:00ZHad a lovely stay at Dermot's place. Very friendly and helpful and would stay again in the future.
Gordon2016-11-10T00:00:00ZI thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Dermots, He was a fantastic host. His attention to detail was second to none. He ensured that anything we may possibly need was available. There was fresh buns milk and croisants on arrival. The house was top class and I would recommend it to anyone going to Mullingar.
Andrew2016-08-02T00:00:00ZWhat to add? Just to confirm that it's a lovely and comfortable place. Dermot is so naturally friendly and is always trying to find this little details to make us feel still more at home. For our first time in Ireland, the perfect place.

Edneia2016-12-26T00:00:00Zneighbourhood nice and quiet close to town Dermot is a great host and had a lot of touches that you might see in a 5 star hotel
adrian2016-12-21T00:00:00ZDon't look any further this is the best place in town, not only does Dermot offer a home away from home you will be made feel like a long lost relative. The rooms are immaculate and spacious, Dermot's home is beautiful with great taste in decor, we arrived to a cosy fire, offers of tea and scones, the area is beautiful with tree lined avenues absolutely spectacular at autumn time. The area was quiet and afforded you a great sleep specially for those who are light sleepers. Dermot couldn't do enough for us and I would not hesitate to recommend his home for your stay 10/10 on all aspects. Thanks for the gorgeous breakfast Dermot it set us up for the day.
Connolly2016-11-01T00:00:00ZNice, clean, warm house. Dermot is very kind and friendly.
Viktoria2016-12-11T00:00:00ZDermot was such a lovely host and made myself and my partner feel very welcome with tea and croissants. The house is gorgeous and a short distance from the town. Also very handy for anyone coming to Mullingar on the bus from Dublin ( 115 Bus Eireann stops right outside the estate). Although short, it was a lovely comfortable stay. Thank you Dermot!

Gynocentrism and its implications for the Men's Rights Movement 25 Mar 2017 | 9:27 am Many of us would have noticed that when women with above average looks post mundane and often pedestrian messages and posts, with greetings like 'good morning' or 'I have skin rash'; many men would be quick to post hundreds of comments, likes or retweets. This is a recurring phenomenon in social media that also gets a few laughs at times and often dismissed as harmless flirtation. But if we scratch the surface of this behavior, it would reveal a few self-destructive facts about men and women. Enter gynocentrism.
According to Wikipedia, Gynocentrism refers to a dominant or exclusive focus on women... Read more... |
Male Suicides: A Deeper Look into Causative factors, Perceptions, and role of Social Conditioning 14 Oct 2016 | 3:34 am Every suicide represents a failure on the part of civilization to introspect and correct its course, its aspirations and its ability and resolve to conduct a reality check. Male suicides form a disproportionately high number of the overall suicide numbers. However, the actual causes of male suicides are not given the attention it deserves. This lack of attention, lack of understanding and non-existence of specific remedial measures is itself a major contributive factor in its perpetuation.

No Holiday for Misandry 24 Aug 2016 | 3:26 am
The foot-in-the-mouth virus makes a post-monsoon comeback with Smt.Maneka Gandhi showing clarity of confusion with her "Paternity leave will be just a holiday for men" statement while speaking about the Maternity Benefit Bill. http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/paternity-leave-will-be-just-a-holiday-for-men-says-maneka-gandhi-2993274/
Although said with sarcasm, the Women and Child Development Minister unintentionally admitted that men work harder than women and therefore "men do not even avail their existing leave entitlements to share the responsibility of child care". A little indulgence of forethought required of any deserving Minister would have revealed to her that men in India cannot afford to take leave from work since it... Read more... |
How Dowry, Maintenance and Alimony is not allowing women to live with dignity 29 Feb 2016 | 9:17 pm
The true evil of Dowry
Ask anyone this question: What is dowry? Most would say it is the price paid by a woman or her family to get her to be accepted for marriage by a potential husband. Now there are several questions that are hidden in plain sight within this explanation.
If dowry is a recognized crime and everyone is supposed to know this, then what prevented the woman or her family to walk away from such an exchange, if it was indeed demanded? This is in view of the often lamented 'fact' that there... Read more... |
