In her latest book, Stasi Eldredge (Captivating; Love and War) explains that self-transformation is not a one-person game. With striking candor about her own struggles, she describes how she achieved full fulfillment in her life only when she embraced God's dreams for us. In a culture teeming with obsessions about self-worth, physical appearance, and social expectation, Becoming Myself answers a Christian call.
Becoming Myself: Embracing God's Dream of Youby Stasi Eldredge
God has dreams—just for you Becoming Myself is a hope-filled book for anyone who wonders if her life will ever change—if she will ever change.In Stasi Eldredge's most intimate book yet, she shares her own struggles with self-worth, weight, and her past as she shows readers how God is faithfully unveiling who we truly are. Stasi urges you to lay down your past thoughts about yourself and receive God's incredible dreams for you instead. We cannot heal ourselves. We cannot become ourselves by ourselves. But we are not by ourselves. The King of love wants to help us become. God desires to restore us—the real us. As he heals our inner life, he calls us to rise to the occasion of our lives. The most important journey any woman can take is the journey into becoming her true self through the love of God. It's a beautiful paradox. The more of God's you become, the more yourself you become—the "self" he had in mind when he thought of you before the creation of the world. Discover your truest self—the woman God created you to be—in Becoming Myself.

does anyone ever really change?
My husband's parents were coming for a visit—reason enough to paint the basement, let alone clean the refrigerator, as any woman knows. When company comes, we put our best foot forward, especially when the company coming is the in-laws. We color our hair, buy a new top, hide the nail holes in the wall with toothpaste; we make one more pass at teaching the dog to sit and our children to read, sit up straight, and chew with their mouths closed—all within a period of about forty-eight hours.
A few days before their arrival, John's mother mentioned that she wanted to take me to get a massage during their stay.
I had never had a massage before, and the thought of some stranger touching my body was not an appealing one to me. My mother-in-law assured me I would love it. I hoped I would. But I didn't think so. You see, I didn't love my body. Far to the contrary—I was embarrassed by it. I didn't exactly relish the thought of exposing it to the hands of some strange masseuse. How does one lose ten pounds in four days? I googled it. It involves lemon juice and cayenne pepper. I couldn't do it. But I had to go. It was her gift to me. She was excited to give it. I needed to be grateful to receive it. Or at least appear to be.
After checking in at the spa, we were both given soft, luxurious bathrobes and a pair of plastic slippers. We were shown to the changing area with lockers for our clothes, purses, and jewelry. I looked at Mom and asked with dread, "All our clothes?"
"Yes, all your clothes." Seeing the look on my face, she graciously added, "You can keep your underwear on if you'd be more comfortable."
Ummmm ... Yes.
The time came for me to try to discreetly undress and put on the bathrobe while not exposing an inch of skin to any woman who might happen to glance my way. That was difficult, but I was determined. I was also uncomfortable. Then I was mortified. The one-size-fits-all bathrobe didn't fit all. I was too large for it.
Securing my nonemotional, matter-of-fact face, I put my clothes back on and headed out front to speak the dreaded words, "This doesn't fit me. Do you have anything larger?"
They did have a larger robe. They had a man's robe. An extra large man's robe. In a much different color from the women's robes.
Here we were at this spa, sitting in the waiting room, surrounded by lots of other women wearing matching bathrobes, and I was wearing one that might as well have been flashing an orange neon glow-in-the-dark sign that read "obese."
I went into the bathroom and cried. I vowed never to be in that situation again.
But eleven years later, one hundred pounds down and ninety back up, I was. Different gift. Different spa. Different robe. But no larger size available.
Why don't I have victory here? Why haven't I been able to maintain lasting change? What is wrong with me? Have you ever felt that? Maybe not with your weight, but with some area of your life?
why here and not there?
I remember well the laughter of an older friend over my inability to lose weight. It wasn't cruel laughter; it was lighthearted. With delight in her eyes and a deep sense of knowing, she asked me, how hard did I think it would be for God to take care of that struggle for me? With a snap of her fingers she demonstrated how quickly he could remove all compulsion to use food to comfort myself, numb my pain, or simply escape.
Well, then, if it would be so easy for him, why wasn't he doing it? I certainly had asked him, pleaded with him, cried out to him for help here. So it's his fault, really. That's how I felt.
The thing is, I have experienced change—miraculous change. Shortly before becoming a Christian in my early twenties, I had wanted to clean up my act. I'd become acutely aware of my dependence on drugs and alcohol, how I was using them every single day in order to endure my life or at least keep the pain at bay. I decided that I would quit cold turkey. I wouldn't smoke pot, do any drugs, or drink alcohol, and while I was at it, I'd stop eating sugar, too. I didn't make it twenty-four hours. On any front.
One night, in desperation and hope, I gave up trying to fix my life and collapsed into the waiting arms of Jesus, responding to his invitation, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me.... For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" (Matt. 11:28–30). I had finished reading the verses and fallen on the floor.
I was weary beyond words. My life was a shambles. My heart was shattered, and I had done much of the shattering myself. I confessed my deep need to God and asked him to come for me, if he would have me. I gave my life to Jesus, mess that it was, mess that I was, and he did come for me. My little salvation prayer worked.
Two weeks later, I realized that I had not smoked any pot, taken any drugs, or drunk any alcohol since my prayer. Two weeks. This broke all records from the previous ten years. This was a true blue, bona fide miracle. God delivered me from even the desire to use anything. I didn't want to, and I didn't need to. I was awakened to my soul and to the presence of God and to hope. And yeah, baby, there were hard days in that season, but the myriad of stories I have of God's miraculous coming for me in the nick of time are glorious.
Back then, food wasn't a huge issue. I wasn't overweight, and I wasn't inclined to binge. That came later. But when it came, it came with an unyielding power that all my prayer and efforts, repentance, determination, and willpower could not budge.
God delivered me once. Why wouldn't he snap his fingers and do it again?
Many women feel like a failure as a woman. I know that oftentimes I do. A failure as a human being, really. It has affected just about everything I have done and everything I have been kept from doing. But I am not a failure as a human being or as a woman. In some core place deep within, I know this. I fail, yes. But I am not a failure. I disappoint. But I am not a disappointment. Yet when I find myself again in this place—losing the battle for my beauty, my body, my heart—I can sure feel like a failure in every way. And isn't that true for every woman? Don't we all have secret places where we are not living in the victory we long for, places that color how we see ourselves? Doesn't it go on to become a barrier between us and the people in our lives? A wall separating us from the love of God?
Or is it just me?
I didn't think so.
Sometimes we feel hopeless to ever change simply because our personal history is filled with our failed attempts to change. Where was that angel who was supposed to be guarding our tongue and preventing those harsh words from lashing out at our children? What happened to that fruit of the Spirit that was empowering us to be self-controlled and pass by the donut section? God has not given me a spirit of fear, so why am I so consumed with worry over my children, my finances, my future? If the fear of man is a snare, why do I still find I am terrified of exposing my true self and then being rejected? My bondage to food has been revealed as a liar and a thief, and yet in the moment of pain, too often I still turn to it.
God knows.
God knows.
He has not turned his face away. The very fact that we long for the change we do is a sign that we are meant to have it. Our very dissatisfaction with our weaknesses and struggles points to the reality that continuing to live in them is not our destiny.
Read those two sentences again. Let hope rise. Why are you struggling with the things you do? There is a reason. It is found in the life you have lived, the wounds you have received, what you have come to believe about yourself because of them, and not having a clue how to bear your sorrow. It is also because of who you are meant to be.
It is not too late. It is not too hard. You are not too much. God's mercies are new every morning. There is mercy in his eyes even now.
rising to the occasion
I hate spiders. They are creepy. Movies have been made about giant poisonous spiders invading from the Amazon. There's an old movie about a massive spider hiding in train tunnels, and then of course there's that nasty giant spider who chased down a poor helpless hobbit. Spiders. Yuck. They are guaranteed to draw screams.
I used to scream when I came upon one in the bathroom. I was almost twelve years old when my mother refused to come and kill the hairy terrifying thing in the sink for me. "Don't be ridiculous. You do it." I mustered all my bravery into a wad of toilet paper and squished the poor thing. Afterward, I was pretty sure that all of this spider's relatives, all of its aunts and uncles and brothers and sisters and mother and father, were going to come after me for revenge. They would probably creep up on me sometime during the night. Yes, it was an irrational fear. Well, maybe. Anyway, I hate spiders.
When I was twenty-three I lived for a year by myself in a one-room cottage behind a friend's home. It was tiny. It was perfect for me. It had one drawback. You guessed it—it was filled with spiders. I would wake each morning to at least ten spread out on the walls, greeting me to the new day. When I returned from work at night, a dozen more would be staggered around the room to welcome me home. I adjusted. I no longer scream when I see a spider (usually), and yes, I can kill them all by myself. If I have to.
My living situation, growing up and out, forced me to take responsibility for my little world. You know the saying: "Adapt or die." Or maybe it was, "That which does not kill you makes you stronger." Either way, I needed to support myself. Pay rent. Buy car insurance. Plan a wedding. Kill or ignore invading spiders. I needed to rise to the occasion of my life. It took practice. Killing that first spider as a young woman on the verge of adolescence was a milestone for me, and over time I became a woman who possesses the capacity not to be paralyzed in the presence of an eight-legged creature. I changed. And that's a good thing.
Maybe you never were afraid of spiders. Maybe you are like my friend Sam, who captures any and all invading insects—yes, even spiders—gently transporting them to her backyard and releasing them to buggy freedom. But you do have those places in your life where you want to grow up. You want to be free.
I believe you can.
I believe God is in the business of setting us free, making each of us into the woman he always wanted us to be. The woman we always wanted to be. Sometimes he does it with the flip of a switch. But not most of the time (as you well know). Most of the time God invites us into a process of change—a process where by his grace we can rise to the occasion of our lives. But before we talk about that process, there are a few things we need to get straight.
shame and discipline won't cut it
First, shame is not an agent of change.
Like a shot of caffeine in the morning, self-loathing may propel us onto the road of change, but we will find that hatred of self only leads us onto a never-ending roundabout. Like being terrified by a number on the scale in the morning and vowing never to overeat again, a shot of shame may get us through to lunch but never through to our freedom. Self-hatred, shame, and fear—though rampant in so many of our hidden worlds—are simply never going to be capable of creating or sustaining the growth we long for. Yet most women try to use shame as their inner motivator. I know I have.
Self-discipline isn't going to cut it either.
Discipline, particularly spiritual discipline, is a holy and good thing, one that increases over a lifetime of practice. But when we lean on it alone to bring about the change we long for, we find that the fruit is not a grace-filled woman. We get angry; we get discouraged. If we do make it through a few battles, we can easily become the kind of woman who pressures others to do the same, a hard and get-your-act-together kind of woman. With self-discipline, the focus remains "self," so we are already off to a bad start. Trying, striving, working harder may get us through the week, but it won't take us through the decades. Yet most Christian women believe that this is the way to handle our external world.
I got a kick out of an email I received last week:
Some women at our church decided to do a study on the Proverbs 31 woman. I joined because I want to get to know these ladies, but really, I loathe the Proverbs 31 woman. She makes me feel like *@. But anyway, last week the study told us to buy a new mattress (so we sleep better, so we can serve more) and clean out our pantry, and yesterday it said I should only eat vegetables and water for the next 10 days (like Daniel), and today I'm supposed to stop eating sugar (and serving it to my family). I say to my husband, "So, we need a new mattress and we are going vegetarian and I'm cutting out all sugar from your diet and mine." He remarks: "No wonder you hate her!"
Now, some of those changes may be good things. Maybe God is calling her or us to do some of those things. But true transformation cannot be forced from the outside. It's an inside-out process. Who of us has not received or created a list of ways to live, eat, exercise, respond, seek God, grow, and change—and how long did it last, if it worked at all? Those lists don't work very long for anyone, and so we fall back into self-contempt. The problem does not lie with our lack of discipline. The problem is in the approach. The problem lies with the lists.
By the way, we humans are great ones for making lists. Codes of behavior. Rules of etiquette. Do not reapply your lipstick in public. Cover your mouth when you yawn. Wedding gifts can be sent up to a year after the event, but for heaven's sake, kindly let them know if you are attending or not. Keep your napkin on your lap. Don't talk while you are eating. Chew with your mouth closed. Come to a complete stop at a stop sign. Use your turn signals. Don't interrupt. Wait your turn. Stand up straight. Register to vote.
Aren't you tired just reading this?
God gave Israel a fabulous list. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, servant, ox, donkey, or new car. Was it really too much to ask? Noble as the list was, the people found they couldn't keep it for a day. Enter Jesus. In his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught that lusting after a woman (or man) in your heart was the same thing as committing adultery. He taught that hating a person in your heart was the same as murdering that person. Ummmm, we are all in trouble here.
A list of laws, rules, tips, techniques, and strategies does not a transformed heart make. No wonder 95 percent of all people who lose weight are unable to keep it off. Diet programs work. If you work the program. But they work from the outside in, and without substantive internal change, it's impossible to hold the ground of a lower BMI. Yes, we all have areas in our lives we want and need to change, but the only way that is going to happen is when we have a change of heart.
Scrooge had a change of heart, so he gave Bob Cratchit a raise. Cinderella had a change of heart, so she went to the ball. Raging Saul the Pharisee had a change of heart, so he became missionary number one for Jesus. I had a change of heart when I surrendered my life and gave it over to Jesus. When my heart came home to its true Home, a lot of change instantly happened.
When we have a change of heart on the inside, it manifests itself on the outside. But you and I both know by now that most of our healing and changing doesn't happen at the moment of our conversion. We walk it out. God invites us into a process. Our journey to get there takes place in the day in and day out of the dusty and gritty here and now. And it is to the dusty, gritty here and now that Jesus comes.
So shame isn't gonna do it, and discipline isn't gonna do it. God invites us to join him in the process whereby he heals our inner world so he can transform our outer world.
One more point before we explore how.
God is not going to love me any more or any differently when and if I finally lose this weight and become free from the stranglehold of food. Jesus's love for me, my Father's love for me, never changes. Yeah, okay, fellowship may be strained at times, but his heart toward me does not change. He is passionately in love with me. Even better, I think he likes me. And by the way, he's got a pretty huge thing for you, too. Yes, you. So what does being loved like that mean? Does that even matter? Does it make any difference in my day-to-day life? You bet it does.

This book is life changing. I am purchasing now as a gift for a dear friend of mine. I would recommend Captivating and Becoming Myself for every woman who is on a journey to discover who GOD truly created her to be. ENJOY!!
The past few months, I've been on a bit of a quest – a quest for myself. When Becoming Myself by Stasi Eldredge became available for review, I thought the timing was perfect! Of course, isn't it always with God? Becoming Myself is trademark Stasi Eldredge – Biblical, conversational, emotional. Stasi speaks directly to women out of her own experience as a female and as a child of God. While explaining mother wounds and encouraging her readers to take heart and follow through on the journey of a lifetime, Stasi writes of God's grace and love for us. My favorite section is chapters 11-13: Becoming a woman of Faith, Becoming a Woman of Worship, and Becoming our True Name. I loved seeing the trio of Marys with new eyes – Mary, Mother of Jesus; Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene. The thought that struck me hardest – Jesus wants my love. My love. My love. Not that He doesn't desire my obedience, but it is as a form of love to Him, not just because He commands it. He wants me to love Him with all my heart (what is the greatest commandment – love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul, with all your strength). And He loves me , so much so that He knew me before I was formed in the womb. He named me. He sees me as I truly am, as I am becoming , and as I am now. And He loves me. I give Becoming Myself by Stasi Eldredge, published by David C Cook, 5 stars. Readers may want to read Captivating by Stasi Eldredge first, but that isn't strictly necessary. Disclosure: I received Becoming Myself by Stasi Eldredge free from David C Cook Publishing free (via Net Galley) in return for an honest review. My opinions are my own.
I thoughly enjoyed this book. It had lots of encouraging insights and Staci was quite personal with her struggles as well. Good use of the Bible to back up her thoughts and ideas.

As expected, the Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court, by a vote of 13-6.
The nomination now goes to the Senate floor, next week.
Soon she will be Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Oval colleague Joan Biskupic reports from the hearing room: "All Democrats voted for Sotomayor, President Obama's first nominee to the high court who would also be the bench's first Hispanic justice. All Republicans except Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, opposed."
Joan's full report is here.
Graham said he was backing Sotomayor partly because he believed Obama, having won last November's election, deserved wide latitude to make appointments within the judicial mainstream. Graham deemed Sotomayor "well qualified," of "good character" and within "the mainstream."
Joan also notes that Republican-turned-Democrat Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania teared up during his remarks, attributing it in part to his chemotherapy.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the committee chairman, lauded Sotomayor's qualifications: "One need look no further than her experience, ability, temperament and judgment."
One of the Republican opponents, Orrin Hatch of Utah, said of the nominee: "Her speeches and articles described a troubling approach to judging that her hearing testimony did not resolve. In some of her most important cases, she gave short shrift to fundamental constitutional rights."

Is it legal for me to slightly modify Bodoni poster italic?
Is there anywhere on the web where I can find out whether or not I can do this?
Is it legal to modify Bodoni?
Primary tabs
Is it legal for me to slightly modify Bodoni poster italic?
For what kind of usage? Personal?
Are you planning to start with the outlines of an existing digital font? If yes, from which foundry?
It is legal only if permitted by the End-User License Agreement (EULA) for the font. What a EULA allows for varies from foundry to foundry, but typically modification of an existing font is prohibited, especially if you're planning to make money from the end result.
Maybe someone else can back me up on this.
The vendor name will normally be viewable within your Operating system - for example in Windows double clicking on a font will provide a screen that shows you the copyright string in the font.
Cheers, Si
You may be in breach of contract, but that's not illegal. It would be illegal if the font were subject to copyright and the law imposed penalties for infringement.
>It would be illegal if the font were subject to copyright and the law imposed penalties for infringement.
Like in Europe?
Hang on,
Randall, do you mean that you want to modify the outlines of some of the letters in Bodoni only for a one-off design project? Or are you making new functioning font software? I feel like people here are assuming you want to modify the font to make a new font and their answers are based on that. Which is it?
I have been assuming it's OK to change the shape of the letterforms when you're designing something, I think that's different from changing the font software itself. Please correct me if I'm wrong
Most foundries allow you to modify the shapes of letters, for a logo let's say. But, if you want to modify the outlines and create a new font many foundries do not allow this. Further still you will not find any foundries that allow for derivatives to be sold.
Are there really foundries that don't allow you to modify shapes of letters for a logo?
Like in Europe?
I'm not too familiar with European directives, but if you can refer me to European provisions that criminalize infringement of copyright in fonts, I'd be happy to take a look, and report back.
I've heard of a large corporation recently found guilty of criminal behaviour in Europe, but I don't think it had much to do with typography
>I've heard of a large corporation recently found guilty of criminal behaviour in Europe,
I know. I have nothing against companies selling locked mobile phones, but you know how the Europeans are.
Also, please close your tags.
>Are there really foundries that don't allow you to modify shapes of letters for a logo?
I think Tiffany is talking about modification of "converted to curves" text in Illustrator, rather than creation of derivative font.
That's what I mean, too. But she said "most," implying there are some that don't allow it. I was just curious to know.
How do I close the tag? It looks fine on my screen.
<cite> Like in Europe? <cite>
need to add a / to that last cite tag
Cheers, Si
>That's what I mean, too.
Ah, yes. I suppose those that don't allow commercial use? I think it's often safest to say 'most' - there are some pretty kooky EULAs out there.
"It would be illegal if the font were subject to copyright and the law imposed penalties for infringement."
Both these things are true in most western countries, including the USA.
However, most font licenses permit modifications after converting to outlines, like for a logo. A few, such as Adobe's, allow you to modify the original font, as long as it's for your internal use and you're not redistributing it. (Note: check the license itself for details.)
Yeah, it is something I've started noticing. I guess I should document it so I don't look the total fool. I'll do some digging and report back.
Modifying the font file is one thing. That would be clearly covered by the EULA. But what would the case be if a user took a scan of the desired font, and then built it in FontShop without using anyone else's computer outlines. Would it be different if the scan was of a heritage useage, (here I am assuming that Bodoni Poster is out of any copyright period).
FontShop = FontLab
>Are there really foundries that don't allow you to modify shapes of letters for a logo?
>Ah, yes. I suppose those that don't allow commercial use? I think it's often safest to say 'most' - there are some pretty kooky EULAs out there.
Yip, and I've got one of them. It's pretty rare, but Ross Mills and I decided to restrict the use of my new font, Restraint, in that for the basic licensing you can't use it as a major or sole element for logos, major ad campaigns or items for sale ... altered or unaltered. I was really torn about this, because as a designer I recognize how jarring that seems, but ultimately he convinced me. P22 also has similar restrictions on some (all?) of their fonts.
However, to make things more confusing, with Restraint, the issue is surrounding its use, so if it _wasn't_ an identity, then we would have no problem with someone modifying it in e.g. Illustrator for a poster or invitation or whatever.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The breakfast buffet was very large. The view from the room and location were ideal. The bed was a bit stiff.
The location near the beach was excellent. The food was varied and delicious (we had halfboard). We also liked the active animation-team and the entertainment (for both kids and adults). The much-needed airconditioning did it's job perfectly during the hot weather. The room was big enough and kept clean, it also had a nice seaview from the balcony. And last but not least - the staff was very helpful and friendly. There's nothing really negative to say about this hotel. Maybe the fact that the drinks are a bit expensive at dinner/in the bar.
We have stayed there often in the past and really like the warmth and professionalism of the staff Some facilities could benefit from a "face lift"
Breakfast, pool area, location. Rooms a bit outdated, elevators hard to catch.
The room was basic but the hotel was excellent, half board was a good deal and the food choice very good. The hotel was in an good position for the beach, bars etc. None
Nice location, beside the beach and promenade, friendly staff, nice breakfast and super view from our 8th floor room.
you could get easy from the airport to the hotel,it was very close to the beach, it had a very big restaurant with a good program, outside the hotel is the meeting poit for many trips like Jungle park, San Miguel Castel,etc, tv channels in 4languages english,german,italian,spanish the furniture and the painting in the hotel room are a little too old, and this was unpleasant(I speak on the behalf of my room)
Hotel very nice and in good location. Food really nice with plenty of choice. Two big swimmingpools and well equipted new gim. Very friendly animation team (international). Rooms furnitures quite old...and I would say the same about other hotel guests;) 70% of all guests were over 70 years old..mostly British..In the morning they booked best places near swimming pool (thou it is not allowed) and spent there no more then 30 minutes in the afternoon...Slow lifts especialy during meals..better take floors 1-3 and use stairs if possible.
This is an excellent hotel in an outstanding location in Playa De Las Americas. Situated right on the beach, we used the small beach right outside the hotel a couple times, even though the shore was a bit rocky. A nicer, larger beach can be found on the other side of Puerto Colon, known as Torviscas Playa. The food was very good, and the selection was absolutely huge, although I have had better food at other resorts. There is certainly something here to be found for everyone. I had requested a room on a higher floor to avoid any noise that may occur at lower levels, and they accomodated my request with a nice 10th floor room with a beautiful view overlooking Puerto Colon, Torviscas, and the sea. All hotel staff was very accomodating! Hotel room was a bit small and out-dated, and in need of remodeling. Beds were very hard.
The choice of food at breakfast and dinner was excellent. Very attentive, hard working waiters. The hotel has bright and spacious puclic areas. There was good entertainment for families. There are not really enough lifts for the number of people staying in the hotel. Bedrooms could do with a refresh.
Location, comfort, peace and quiet in the rooms, beds, efficency of the staff and the hotel had a nice feel to it. Too many noisy children and having to struggle to secure a sun lounger from the Saturday onwards. Also, the restaurants and refreshments at the hotel were very expensive.
room was great, very clean and spacious. Nice walk to the beaches close to playa de las america.Staff is very formal
Staff were very friendly and the facilities were very good Restaurants were mixed. Food very good in Japanese, but service was appalling.
Although the hotel was only 35% full the sunbathing area on the lawned area as well as by the poolside was excellent and spacious. The breakfast was well provided for with free champagne if you wanted it. The prices charged for drinks and snacks were expensive, which we were warned about by the locals! I.E. 4.5 euros for half a litre of bottled water, which resulted in many people going to the local spa, across the road and stocking up with provisions, slightly embarassing when re- entering through the main entrance but unusally the staff did nit seem to mind this and on a good note we were actually provided with an empty 2nd fridge in our room, which we were told was for our own personal use
Excellent hotel; perfect location; very good animation for kids
The tranquil atmosphere, we went to relax and we did.
Excellent breakfast buffet, Great Spa with friendly professional therapists Staff/ service in Breakfast Room. Felt if you were not in a Club Room you were ignored
Nice, spacious room.Beautiful swimming pools, Very good breakfast buffet.Quiet.Beatiful location next to La Caleta with good walking possibilities along the seaside. Mediocre restaurants. Drinks and food expensive.Premium De Luxe Room with sea view: somewhat poor view of the sea and closed in balcony.Better towels.
Very relaxing Too far out, not much going on in the area
Big room, good bed View could have been better

2015 Cadillac Escalade Teased Before NY Debut
Cadillac has released a pair of teaser images for its upcoming 2015 Escalade, showing off the next-generation luxury SUV's badge and headlights.
The 2015 Cadillac Escalade will debut on October 7 in New York and AutoGuide will be reporting live when the sheet comes off. The new Escalade is expected to reach dealerships nationwide by mid-2014 and will likely share technologies with the fresh crop of 2014 GM trucks and SUVs.
That includes both a 5.3-liter V8 and a 6.2-liter V8, both of which feature cylinder deactivation, direct injection and variable valve timing. Like the trucks, the engines are likely to be paired to a six-speed automatic transmission at launch, but an eight-speed unit is said to be in the works.
The 2015 Escalade will be based on the newly updated Chevrolet Silverado platform, and based on the teaser image of the headlights, it's evident that the American automaker is adopting styling cues from its pickup. It will however carry on its traditionally boxy shape, putting the focus on power and presence rather than fuel economy.

The letter could also be used as text for an advertisement if groups in a country thought that appropriate and had the funds needed.
This letter is being sent out by the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) in South Africa and Action for Southern Africa (ACTSA) in UK to international contacts we know are working on this issue, but because we want as many groups as possible to sign up, please forward it to your own contacts.
To sign up to this `international letter on SA court case' please email firstname.lastname@example.com with name of signatory, name of organisation and contact details. The deadline is 28 February.
On the 1 March we will send a complete list of signers to everyone. It may be helpful if each country could nominate a contact point for us to help co-ordinate the placement of this letter in the press in their country.
Please do also let us know is you are planning any solidarity actions
or protests on the 5 March.
To: The Editor
Today [5 March] over forty of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies;
including Boehringer-Ingelheim, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Bristol-Myers Squibb
and Roche - take the South African Government to court. They are fighting
a law, that
was passed by the South African parliament and approved by Nelson Mandela, which would allow life-saving medicines to be imported from countries where they are cheaper. They claim that the law infringes intellectual property rights.
Nearly five million South Africans are living with HIV. But few can afford the drugs which have enabled richer countries to transform the disease from a killer into a manageable illness.
These companies, with the support of some Western governments, are protecting their monopolies at the expense of millions of lives. This legal action shows that the pharmaceutical industry is more concerned with staving off competition and protecting their high profit margins than with genuinely increasing access to medicines.
We believe that this lawsuit is legally flawed and morally reprehensible. We call on the companies involved to drop the case and on Western Governments to provide clear support to the South African Government as it strives to tackle the urgent HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Many thanks & look forward to campaigning together.
In solidarity,

Surfing Santa Cupcake Tutorial
Decorating By ozcake Updated 15 Dec 2011 , 11:38am by FlourPots
I have made a surfing Santa Cupcake Tutorial if anyone is interested.
It is my first time making a video so it is a bit rough but it is a step by step and I think it is easy to follow. If you are wondering why Santa has a surfboard it is because it is summer here at Christmas.
Part 1:
Jenny (ozcake)
They're very well done, not rough at all!
Excellent job!
Thank you for sharing...I enjoyed them!

"Those Waterbenders were just like you, attempting to justify the slaughter of many for the gain of the few. I will not let you continue terrorizing the world!"
- Zhentu addresses Jiang Rha ; "The Capital Part 4 - The True Heart "
And just like that, from the lips of a minor/supporting character, The Bos provides us with the summation of the entire series Guardian: the supreme realization that the fight for peace is really nothing else than a plea for justice and freedom. The casual reader may choose to be content with the amazing fights, the scale of the work, or the perfectly captured canon characters. They are magnificent, so that is fine. However, I would argue that this single line helps makes the case that Guardian's value transcends that of a mere display of writing chops. For the enlightened reader, it provides for a deep reflexive look into the monster that is human greed.
Throughout the course of the series, we are shown that balance is not just a state of inertia – a stagnant, static cohabitation of the elements or the nations. True balance is the active and conscious effort to afford each people and each individual a fair apportionment of truth, serenity and dignity. Those who would tip the scale may do so for any number of reasons. For Mitros , it was pain, loss, and a desire for revenge – a misguided, misanthropic drive pushing him to seek retribution his family, lost in the wake of an attempted genocide. For Long Feng and the Dai Li, it was greed – the desire to exert control and dominion over others, overextending the reach of their appointment, like so many others who have become corrupted in the public service. As for Ozai, Jiang Rha and the Phoenix Warriors, it is pride – that wicked belief that we are, in fact, superior to the next person… In every case, the peace and prosperity of many become trampled in favor of the aspirations and well-being of the few, just like the lady who would have her impoverished, starving subjects "eat cake", or the CEO who played with his company's stock to his advantage…
A good author would be content to be able to deliver such a powerful message in a competent fashion. However, a closer look will reveal an additional layer of complexity to The Bos's work in this third and final book of the series: balance begins in the person. Just like in the canon, Zuko would be able to restore balance to the World only after he had restored it within himself. An especially poignant moment is when Zuko takes out his family's picture and "makes peace" with each of them in his own way. This is a key moment for Zuko, since he discovers the value of acceptance. Acceptance must not be confused with approval. Zuko might not necessarily be happy or satisfied with the relationship he had with the members of his family, but he is still able to accept them as they were, see their value as people, and acknowledge their value to him as a person. This moment is the key for Zuko regaining focus of his objectives, allowing him to channel and focus his energy correctly towards them.
The fights, the plot, the amazing scale of the finale are all worthy of comment and praise. I'll let others do that. I just wanted to make sure I was the first one who wrote so I could be sure that I kept the best part to myself.
@The Bos – Take a bow sir. You've made history…

I love this shape. Custom expoxies are the best. Thank you Epiphany Crafts!!
These tools by Epiphany Crafts are awesome. And long overdue in this industry. Custom embellishments help me make use of older products. I definitely recommend checking out the Shape Studio tools.
This product is super easy to use! I love having the ability to make my own custom embellishments for my scrapbook pages. I plan on buying every one of these eventually!

OK, now it's the football weekend and I can check the colors on that and report back. I am going to watch Fresno State (CA) today and they wear red pants. Last time I watched them, the red push made the pants glow so maybe it will look better today.

So, Rick, how were the pants? I haven't been messing with my set, but I still have 500 photos (the entire service menu) if you need them--521 files in a Zip that's 27 MB, each picture 640x480, 55kb, very clear (used a tripod). All jpg files. I thought about trying to batch re-compress to cut the size but have not had time to experiment.

What's been the experience out there with HD and the xbr800
|Originally posted by vfxproducer
Love it. Watched American Dreams tonight, and it looked spectacular in HD. So did Smallville, ER, and a half-dozen other shows and movies I watched this week. It's a great HD set.
I'm using the Hughes E86 as my tuner. Works for me. I'm very happy I made the upgrade to HD on the 34XBR800

ER in HD??!?!?! Where are you pulling the HD signal from? I thought ER was only in SD and widescreen? :confused:

from what i understand, modern direct-view CRTS of appreciable size all have a shadow mask made in 3 sections, so there
are two horizontal lines on every big CRT -
1/3 up from the bottom, and 1/3 down from the top.
if my understanding about this is correct, my apology to those of you will never be able to look at a CRT again without seeing those two horizontal lines. i'd prefer to be wrong and will do my best not to look for those lines on my 34xbr2 :|

My stand is 21.5" deep. The TV is 4" back from the front of the stand and hangs over the back by about 5 to 6". The dimensions of the 34xbr800 TV are discussed on page 1 of this thread and the footprint on page 3 of this thread.
This is a 200+ pound TV that is very front heavy (which is why I move it back 4" and let it - including the "feet" - hang over the back). I would not want my 21.5" stand to be any less depth so I am reluctant to recommend a 17" depth stand to anyone. What do others think? Anyone have a 17" depth stand? Can anyone answer Phil's question?
|Originally posted by beaudot
I've had mine on an old solid oak stand (depth 16.5") for about 2 months now. My plan was to only use this temporarily, but it is very sturdy so far. I have it flush with the front, but lots of overhang at the back, I have the back close but not touching the wall, as it gives the illusion it may fall backwards, but when I try to jiggle it, it is very stable. A couple inches of the footprint are not on the shelf, but it doesn't seem to matter.

I always use the pro mode and calibrate from there. I haven't tried calibrating from the movie mode but will that give two different memories in the TV? That might help if your DVD gives a darker picture than your cable TV or if room lighting changes? If you check it out, please report back.
I had listed my previous settings in the thread but started to notice sunburned blushing white folks so cut back the Color. After I had a chance to redo AVIA, I notice a 5 to 10% red push on the color bar at mid settings. My conclusion is that my xbr800 has a red shift of about 5 to 10%. AVIA and my eyeball (looking at white flesh tones on DVD) both suggested dropping the Color setting just a bit. Now I like it much better because flesh tones look accurate - at least for Western Oregon where we don't get much sun :D.
Currently, at 7 to 8' in a pretty dark room using AVIA and eyeball the "big five" video settings beyond Pro Mode are:
Picture 12/32 or 4/32 notches to the left of mid-line or over the "s" in the word "select" in the 64 notch menu or about 24/64,
Brightness in the middle or 16/32 or over the "l" in the word "select" in the 64 notch menu or 32/64
Color 14/32 or 2/32 notches to the left of mid-line or over the "e" in the word "select" in the 64 notch menu or about 27/64,
Hue in the middle, and
Sharpness at 11/32 or 5 notches to the left of mid-line or over the "s" in the 64 notch menu or about 22/64.
I leave cinemotion on and use 0.0 setting on the DRC palette which gives a slightly "softer" picture and hides much of the grainy part of a NTSC CATV signal. I am not convinced yet that going to 50,50 or 100,100 on DVD is that much better.

2. Using the TV/VIDEO button to go from say Input 5 to Input 4 is a pain. Is there any shortcut (e.g., it would be nice to be able to skip inputs not connected -- and I'm using only three so far).

It might not be official just yet and release dates have yet to be received but, according to the BGR website, the BlackBerry's Messenger utility is to receive a significant update, which will sit well with new and upgraded social utilities such as HP's Friendlee and Twitterberry.
Proposed upgrades include Avatar support that will allow you to place a camera picture on the phonem, which will be displayed next to your Messenger name. The utility will also include GPS location. This will mean that, subject to your own permission, your friends will be able to track your location either automatically or on request.
Another new feature will be a proximity sensor which, say observers, will provide you with information on the relative position of yourself in relation to a friend or colleague. The 'set conversation subjects' option will help you organise and keep track of your conversations. Finally, the home screen support means you can pin a contact directly onto the home screen for easy access.

Chick Pea Curry
The Punjab region is famous for its chick-pea (chole) recipes. The most common variety - a large, white pea known as the garbanzo bean - is grown mainly in the northern and northwestern regions of India. This dish from the Punjab region is typically eaten with breads or as a side dish with lamb or tandoori chicken. We've used the canned variety of chick peas here. If using dried chick peas, soak them overnight in water. Place in a large pan of salted water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook until soft, about 30 minutes, and then drain.
Heat Level
- 2 tbsp Patak's Tikka Paste
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 can (540ml) chick peas, drained
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh mint, chopped
- 1 green chilli pepper, cut lengthwise in half

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My daughter's father has not been involved in her life in over a year, left when she was 6 months old to move out of state and lived in his car for months. Why? Your guess is as good as mine, but I assume it was to avoid paying child support. Now, he is supposedly in a "good place" and claims he is going to try to get visitation so I will have to send her there for the summers. Can he do that? What do I need to do to keep this from happening? We were never married but his name is on her birth certificate.
Full termination of parental rights is an extreme step that courts are unlikely to take in the absence of abuse, neglect, or dependency. If he is on her birth certificate, he will likely remain there, unless he consents for your new spouse to adopt her. If he petitions for visitation, it is likely to be granted, though it may not be in the form or amount he wishes. At the same time, you do have the right to petition for child support, and you have the right to ask the court not to give him so much uninterrupted time with him, because she doesn't really know him, and it could be scary for her. You will need an attorney to help you. Good luck to you.

Frontier gets hammered in latest airline quality study, finishes last in customer complaints
Despite sales and other changes in recent years, Frontier still likes to portray itself as Denver's hometown airline. But few will feel much hometown pride over the carrier's performance in the annual Airline Quality Rating study.
Frontier tumbled from the top ten (of fifteen total) in overall quality and finished dead last, by quite a margin, when it comes to customer complaints. Details, graphics and the complete document below.
Frontier's drop in the survey, conducted using 2013 data by academics at Wichita State University and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona, wasn't the most precipitous. That dishonor goes to AirTran, which fell from third to tenth place.
However, Frontier tied for second-worst with American Eagle. Both airlines sunk by four in the rankings, with Frontier going from seventh place in the previous analysis to eleventh this time around.
Here's the list. Note that the parenthetical numbers show where each carrier finished in 2012.
1. Virgin America (1) 2. JetBlue (2) 3. Hawaiian (5) 4. Delta (4) 5. Alaska (6) 6. Endeavor (new to the rankings this year; formerly Pinnacle) 7. US Airways (9) 8. Southwest (8) 9. American (10) 10. AirTran (3) 11. Frontier (7) 12. United (14) 13. ExpressJet (13) 14. SkyWest (12) 15. American Eagle (11)
Graphically, Frontier's efforts look even less sky-high. The first image below compares 2013 scores to those from 2012....
Click to enlarge.
...while the second offers a month-by-month contrast that's far from flattering:
However, the customer complaint rankings are the most distressing. Continue for more about the Airline Quality Rating and Frontier, including more images and the study itself.
A screen capture from the study.
This graphic shows complaints by airline to the Department of Transportation per 100,000 passengers. Frontier's number, 3.09, is more than 30 percent higher than the next closest airline, United.
Click to enlarge.
The authors of the study summarize Frontier's achievements in 2013 like so:
On-time performance in 2013 (73.1%) declined compared to 2012 (77.9%). Frontier's denied boarding performance (1.23 per 10,000 passengers in 2013 compared to 0.78 in 2012) was worse than last year. Their mishandled baggage rate of 2.15 per 1,000 passengers was slightly improved from their 2012 rate of 2.22. A customer complaint rate of 3.09 complaints per 100,000 passengers for 2013 was nearly three times higher than their 2012 rate of 1.05. Frontier's 2013 AQR score of -1.35 compared to -0.78 for 2012 was among the largest drops in AQR score of all the airlines rated.
Don't expect the animals on the tales of Frontier jets to be talking up these numbers in their next television appearance. Continue to read the study.

City Struggles With Density Issue In Fighting Global Warming
Menlo Park is sincere about fighting global warming. It assigned a "50-person task force to study how the city can cut greenhouse gas emissions; and with unanimous approval from the City Council, it is now one of almost 500 U.S. cities that has pledged to address global warming at the local level".
"Although the council recently voted unanimously to endorse the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement, the wording was slightly changed to avoid committing the city to supporting high-density and transit-oriented projects."
"But amidst efforts to make Menlo Park as green as can be, the city isn't doing one thing (local) environmental groups say it should: building multiple-story residential projects, with at least 25 condominiums and apartments per acre, near the city's train station and downtown area."
The 135-condo Derry project, planned for a 3.4-acre site opposite the commuter rail station and along San Mateo County's major transit corridor, El Camino Real, was halted after a successful citizen-led referendum effort.
"I'm not sure that denser housing belongs along the Caltrain corridor," said Councilman Cohen, who has emphasized that the council should always put the potential impacts on Menlo Park residents before regional needs".
"Growth is happening no matter what, so we have to plan where people are going to live now, and for the next 25 to 30 years," said Michelle Beasley of Green Belt Alliance. "Land-use decisions and dealing with global warming run hand-in-hand. ... El Camino Real is a prime opportunity for development, and it would be wonderful to see Menlo Park embrace that."
"The kind of density that some of these environmental groups are supporting is too much," said Morris Brown, leader of Menlo Park Tomorrow, the residents' group that led the referendum effort against the Derry project. "I'm not at all convinced that we should pack everybody in a small circle, to save more green space."

Research Institution
AbstractTo address the CBD need for improved formulations to enhance the ease of use and bioavailability of antisense therapeutics, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a Multifunctional Antisense Therapeutics Nanocarrier and Inhalation Device (MATEN). This proposed system is based on a new dry powder formulation and a novel design of an inhaler that uses in-house developed mature components. POC's innovations in the nanocarrier (NC) construct and in the design of the inhaler, which is capable of delivering a single dose from the MATEN during one deep and slow inspiration, will enhance the bioavailability for antisense therapeutics that is necessary for the prophylaxes and early treatment of warfighters against emerging bio-warfare threats. As a result, this technology offers a formulation that is stable at ambient temperature, minimizes the potential for introduction of immunogenic materials and the bulk and complexity of dispensing, and which directly addresses the requirements of the Transformational Medical Technologies Initiative (TMTI) program. In Phase I, POC will demonstrate the feasibility of the MATEN by demonstrating product stability and establishing enhanced bioavailability in an animal model. In Phase II, POC will optimize candidate formulation for maximum bioavailability and conduct initial pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies in an animal model.

The England and Wales Cricket Board said Tuesday that the former Zimbabwe wicketkeeper-batsman had committed himself to a renewed permanent deal.
It did not say how long Flower had signed for.
"Andy Flower has made a huge impact during his time as England team director and I am delighted that he has committed to the role," England managing director Hugh Morris said. "Andy's outstanding leadership, commitment, and his open and honest approach have been key factors in the success the England squad has enjoyed over the last two years.
"I have no doubt that under his direction we will continue to see England improve as we strive to become the No. 1 side in the world in all formats of the game."
The 43-year-old Flower was promoted from assistant coach to take charge of England at short notice in 2009 when Peter Moores was fired following a dispute with Kevin Pietersen, who also lost his job as captain.
After a dismal tour of the Caribbean, he rallied the side to a 2-1 home series win over Australia, regaining the Ashes that had been lost 5-0 two years earlier.
England won the World Twenty20 title in May 2010 and then won the Ashes in Australia for the first time since 1986-87, continuing a rise from sixth in the test rankings when Flower arrived to third behind India and South Africa.
"I am very pleased with the advances we have made as a squad over the last two years in all formats of the game," Flower said. "Regaining the Ashes in 2009 and retaining them last winter and the 2010 World Twenty20 title are obvious highlights, but there is still plenty more we want to achieve in the longer term."
Although England has climbed a place to fifth in the one-day rankings in the same period, its one-day form remains patchy. It only just reached the World Cup quarterfinals this year after embarrassing losses to Ireland and Bangladesh.
"We have made no secret of our determination to become the No. 1 side in the world and challenge for global titles and I feel we have been making steady progress," Flower said. "I firmly believe we have the talent amongst the playing squad and management team to help us realize our ambitions and am looking forward to testing ourselves against quality opposition this summer and beyond."
England hosts Sri Lanka and India over the next five months.

EchoStar Communications and Google have announced the partnership agreement to introduce the first automated system for buying, selling, delivering and measuring television ads on their networks. With this agreement, Google will have access to a part of DISH Network's advertising inventory that spans across EchoStar DISH Network's 125 national satellite programming networks. DISH Network is EchoStar's pay-TV provider.
With this, Google will sell the ads through an online auction system, with advertisers bidding the amount they are willing to pay per thousand households that view each commercial. Google will send the commercials of the winning bidders to EchoStar, which will then insert them into the television programming.
Charlie Ergen, CEO, EchoStar, said, "DISH Network is focused on improving all aspects of our business, and advertising is no exception. Through this groundbreaking partnership with Google, we are confident that we will be able to bring increased efficiencies to DISH Network's advertising sales and more accurate, up-to-date viewer measurement with easily accessible online reporting to advertisers."
"Our partnership with EchoStar is important for us as we begin to offer a TV advertising platform broadly," remarked Eric Schmidt, CEO, Google. "We think we can add value to this important medium by delivering more relevant ads to viewers, providing better accountability for advertisers and better monetise inventory for TV operators and programmers," he added.
With this partnership, Google extends its current advertising platform to a national TV audience, with an intention to deliver more relevant and measurable ads. The official communiqué pointed out that EchoStar and Google are working together to provide automated online campaign planning, scheduling, delivery and measurement of ads on the DISH Network.
