Me, my wife and a friend of ours were at Dubai for few days. We decided to do this private tour primarily because we wanted to visit Burj Al Arab hotel that we did not manage to visit during our previous stay in Dubai. What I can say is that I not only I did not regret about arranging for this tour but probably this was the best tour we have taken in last few years. Our driver and guide Umar, took us to all the places mentioned in the itinerary but went far above and beyond that. He took us to local places to see how local people spend their time during day and night, helped us to tailor our schedule further and did everything he could to make this tour an amazing unforgetable experience for us by arranging with his boss any changes needed. Having couple of coctails at Burj Al Arab is a great experience and you should not miss it! Thanks Viator for offering only the best to your customers.
We booked this particular trip because we wanted to see Dubai's highlights during our 19.5 hour layover there.
Got in at 2 PM and we were escorted to the Dubai Terminal Hotel by the meet and greet person. Despite the hotel's warning about not getting out of the terminal, you can get back into the terminal and pass security with your passport and boarding pass for the next flight. That's the key-- you must have a boarding pass for the next flight. We took a taxi to the Holiday Inn Express across the street-- short ride, not cheap, cannot be walked on foot. Same later that night-- taxi ride to terminal. And that's really the only complaint we have-- why cannot the guide pick us up at the terminal and drop us back at the terminal? Would have saved us about 30 at least. Something about airport rules prohibiting it.
So, trip started out with the gold and spice market. Interesting to see but of course extremely expensive items there. Vendors were quite aggressive and wanted us to look, etc. We were able to go to a local grocer to buy different kinds of nuts. Then we went to a canal to get onto a local water taxi. Seems that many tourists and locals took the water taxis, but there was not much excitement there. Next we were driven to the Saga Mall for a few minutes of browsing. This is a really upscale shopping area for the rich. Traffic was quite heavy so it took a while to get to places. Burj Khalifa didn't disappoint. Try to take pictures of the closed elevator door as the graphic displays the floor and the elapsed time-- 124 floors up in just 60 seconds!! From the 125th floor you can see the Dubai Fountains so far down below you. We made it back in time to see the Fountain show at street level. Grand display, but oh so many people in the plaza!! The highlight of the night for us was the visit to Burj Al Arab and the leisurely cocktail with snacks on the 25th floor that's just below the circular helicopter landing pad. An amazing hotel!! Food and drinks were included and the selection was good.
Ahmed, our guide, was very courteous and made the trip enjoyable despite the lingering effects of a sandstorm.
Because of that, visibility was limited during the day but it was OK at night from the top of Burj Khalifa. Expensive tour but really the only way you can get into the Burj Al Arab.
Cocktails was excellent
Excellent package, cocktails in the Burj Al-Arab was excellent.
tour was good
You should have the timings in the description
Giving the time after buying the tour is not appropriate
Fantastic day filled with fun, laughter, top icons and cocktails!

Saskia van den Ouden
Q: A series of medals follow your trail. How did you get into sport?
A: For 6 years, I couldn't walk because I had a problem with my leg. In 2010, they amputated my leg, and then I wanted to get on with my life and to get on with sports, because I was sitting in a wheelchair for 6 years and I really wanted to walk again.
Q; How did you get into the triathlon series specifically? Which is your favorite part of it?
A: First I started with a wheelchair sports, but it wasn't for me. I really wanted to get out of the wheelchair, but I didn't have the money to pay for a prosthetic leg for running. It's really expensive. I didn't have that money. I tried to win it with a game on the radio in The Netherlands. They collect wishes. People can submit a really beautiful wish, and if you win, they give you the money on the radio.
Q: Which is your favorite part of the triathlon?
A: Running. I don't really like to swim. Running is the best part.
Q: Let's talk about food. Do you think nutrition has a role in performance as an athlete?
A: Yes, it plays a big role. It's really important to eat well before the game.
Q: What does your daily routine look like?
A: A lot of fruits. Pasta. Cereals. Muesli with a lot of milk. Yoghurt. For lunch, I'm eating mostly bread with a lot of fresh fruit and eggs, and chicken.
Q: And for dinner?
A: I eat everything but before a game I only eat pasta and oatmeal.
Q: Does the way you eat have a direct effect with the way that you play?
A: Yes, I have a lot of energy when I eat quite healthy.
Q": Have you had any experience when you didn't eat so healthy and it affected the way that you performed?
A: Yes, if I ate fast food I would not have as much energy as I have when I eat my normal food.
Q: What about for people who are not athletic, for example? What would you recommend are the key factors in keeping a healthy diet?
A: I would say, don't eat too much. Don't overeat. Try to eat different things, so that it's not always the same. Have variety.
Q: What about specifically fruits and vegetables? Are there any fruits that give you more energy and that you eat more often?
A: Bananas. I eat them a lot. Avocados. Broccoli.
Q: When you go to the supermarket, what is important for you when you buy fruits and vegetables? Do the supermarkets inform you about what is organic?
A: It's important that the fruits are looking well. In the supermarkets, they don't really tell you much information. I know the information myself though. I mainly buy produce from the supermarket. The supermarkets are great here.
Q: What about cooking? Do you like to cook?
A: Yes I love to cook. I like cooking slow foods. For example, I put beef for a couple of hours on the fire. That's really nice with a lot of herbs in it. It's really good. It melts apart when you eat it.
Q: Do you like to go out to restaurants?
A: No. Oftentimes, I don't do that in the season because I have a strict schedule, and I go to bed quite early. When I go out though, I take fish meals.
Q: Are you training at the moment? What is your daily routine?
A: Yes, I'm training now. Normally I start the day by going to swim for an hour, and then I go on the bike for 2 hours. I eat in between the practices. I also take sports nutrition, which has a lot of energy in it. It complements my diet. I also eat a lot of bananas and apples.
Q: I love bananas. They also make me happy.
A: Yes it's true. Bananas are like chocolate. They make you happy.
Q: What is your advice for aspiring athletes? What is something you can give as a message to people?
A: Never give up. For example, this year in February I had to go to the hospital again. They cut my leg higher. They removed my knee now. So I went back to the hospital for 3 weeks, and everything was very uncertain because they didn't know exactly the diagnosis. I lost my knee now, so I had to learn everything all over again. To walk, to run, to ride on the bike.
Q: It's only been six months and you are training again. That's amazing. You must have so much passion for this.
A: Yes, it's everything to me. I really love the feeling of running. It's amazing the feeling. It's everything for me. The feeling of my body when I run. I feel full. When I run, I feel complete again. I'm feeling free. I'm so happy when I do that. I have a prosthetic leg and then when I run, I feel normal. I'm just like you.
Q: Yes, running is such a liberating experience. What are you training for right now?
A: I'm training for the triathlon again in April 2018. I'm really starting to learn everything all over again. My training isn't that extensive right now. I run little distances. However, it's going quite well now.

They say that life returns to normal once your youngest child turns 3. I wonder if that's true? My life has changed so much over the last years that I no longer no what "normal" really means, but I can't deny the fact that as Rodrigo grows up our daily life becomes a little easier. He's getting more independent, patient and talkative and wants to be a part of everything we do around the house.
Like most children, he finds the sewing machine utterly fascinating. He likes the sound it makes and he enjoys the light on and off, guiding (pulling) the fabric and playing with pins. He's already helped me stuff a toy and he loves fabric scraps (especially novelty ones): he presses them with a cool iron and carefully puts them away in the fabric cupboard. Above all, he mimics everything I do.
In a month's time we'll start all over again!...

Parliamentary roundtable: Women's empowerment & the role of the private sector in development & responsible business/
The All-Party Parliamentary Human Rights Group (PHRG), in conjunction with CORE (UK civil society coalition on corporate accountability) & the Gender and Development Network's Working Group on Women's Economic Justice, organised a parliamentary roundtable on women's empowerment and the role of the private sector in development and responsible business. The event took place on 17 October, 2016.
Speakers included:
- Laura Kelly, Head of Business Engagement, Private Sector Dept, Department for International Development;
- Kathryn Dovey, National Contact Point Coordination, OECD;
- Luz Angela Urina, Provincial, La Guajira, Colombia;
- Annelen Micus, Legal Advisor, CCAJAR, Colombia;
The roundtable was chaired by Dr Sarah Wollaston MP, PHRG Officer.
In its 2014 International Development (Gender Equality) Act, the UK Government made an explicit commitment to ensure that development assistance contributes to reducing poverty in a way which also contributes to improving gender equality.
The meeting discussed how to ensure the increasing role of the private sector in development benefits women, particularly to further gender equality, advance their rights, and assist them to build more accountable and responsive institutions at all levels.

But here I am, working on making a comeback with my music blog as the adjustment continues. And what better way to kick things off this week than by taking a look at just a bit of what was honored at the Grammy Awards Sunday night?
Leading things off, we have the English folk rock band Mumford & Sons, winners in the categories of Album of the Year for "Babel" and long-form music video for "Big Easy Express."
They take rootsy instruments like banjos and mandolins and give them a tough, touching edge. They're a group to be reckoned with, and the Grammy voters reckoned it was time to give Mumford & Sons a big prize or two.

Gita Lalezari, CHt
Through hypnotherapy, Gita helped me deal effectively with my test anxiety as I was preparing to apply to colleges. After my sessions I was also sleeping better and more peacefully. I highly recommend Gita and hypnotherapy, and will definitely go back to Gita as needed.
Hypnotherapy with Gita gave me relief from my anxiety and helped me successfully complete a series of very stressful exams that I had to take at that time. I enjoyed my sessions with Gita and found them to be very relaxing. I believe the hypnotherapy allowed me to perform at my best under stress at critical times without having anxiety compromise my test performance.
Gita is truly a wonderful hypnotherapist! I was having some major anxiety over giving birth when I was pregnant and she helped me overcome my fears. I used all the tools she provided when the big day arrived and I felt calm and relaxed. Because of her I enjoyed my experience of childbirth instead of dreading it. Highly recommend!
Gita is the epitome of what a true professional is and should be. I have never worked with someone who had this much passion about their field. She is invested in the process 100% and has helped me in more ways than I could've ever imagined. I have been overworked and under a tremendous amount of stress which resulted in anxiety, loss of concentration and diminished ability to focus. After a few sessions with Gita I noticed a difference and after only two months I realized a significant improvement on my overall mental and physical state. Gita is present, in the moment and has a solid background in the field of hypnotherapy. I would highly recommend her and her practice to anyone looking to improve using hypnotherapy.
It was recommended that I give Hypnotherapy a try during a particularly stressful time in my life. A family member who worked with Gita previously suggested that I contact Gita. I am extremely pleased that I did. My sessions with Gita enabled me to reclaim my self-confidence and also offered techniques for self-calming and meditation in between sessions. I am delighted to recommend Gita's services.
Steve C.
Gita, thank you for all of the help and time that you spent with me. Though I of course am still stressed about the whole college process, my main reason to go to hypnotherapy was for two reasons: SAT test anxiety and vomiting from stress in the mornings. - I took many standardized tests before my hypnotherapy sessions and after my sessions with Gita, I went into the SAT and raised 100 points! I was able to go into the test with a clear mind and confidence. - As regards to my stomach, the hypnotherapy has completely eliminated all vomiting from stress. I used to wake up in the morning with overwhelming stress which forced me to vomit, but now I wake up feeling much healthier and confident about each day.

The One in Which the Cabin Dies.
Ok that title is a little over dramatic, but seriously…
We're staying at my parents house again because it's too cold in the cabin. I think I mentioned that previously. All of the pipes are frozen completely, no water at all.
I don't know where the water cut off is. It's somewhere up by the paved road, like five minutes from the cabin itself. My neighbor knows where it is, but when I called him yesterday they weren't home to cut off the water for me.
So today we went out there to let the dogs out and a pipe had busted. The bathroom floor was flooded and water was seeping through the walls and under the stove in the kitchen and pouring out from under one of the cabinets on the floor.
Fun stuff.
Luckily the neighbor was home so Tyler drove up to his house to ask him to come out and turn off the water ASAP. The water shut off is so far away from the cabin that water kept flowing for at least ten minutes after he shut it off. (It was still gurgling when we left almost an hour later!)
We just cannot live there. The heat doesn't work right. The pipes are busted. The floor is flooded. It's just a huge mess all around. Luckily none of our stuff was ruined. Though I did walk in the bathroom to find Ada's potty seat floating across the floor. That was only funny because I do not own this cabin and it's not directly my problem.
The busted pipe can only be accessed from under the cabin. My neighbor the plumber is too large to fit under there. He said the space is so small (where the cabin has sunken down to only a few inches off of the ground) that he doesn't know how they will be able to fix it at all. He says they'll need a very, very tiny man. Maybe an Asian man with a tiny body and tiny hands, he said.
While that is probably racist you have to picture my neighbor with a beer in one hand, missing a few teeth, huge grin on his face, good Kentucky accent…he doesn't mean it to be insulting. It's just logical, the smallest stereotype he can think of off the top of his head.
My grandma has graciously offered to let us live in her house rent free for a year or two. She currently lives in a rental house my dad owns that's in the city close to my parents. Her house is in a small town not too far away. It's actually only 15-20 minutes from where Tyler works.
We can save up a lot of money while living there, but it's going to absolutely suck. I'm certainly not ungrateful, but dreading it…
The house is as small as our old house. Only 1,000 square feet. It only has one bathroom. A friend is going to keep my chickens because they aren't allowed in that town.
The worst part is my grandma wants to keep her stuff there. She is a cluttered person. She thinks we can just use her beds and furniture, move stuff around to fit in a few toys. I cried over this all night last night. It's going to be awkward, uncomfortable, and frustrating. I do not want to do it.
Tyler is convinced it's the only way. We can suffer through it and quickly pay off all debt, then have some sort of downpayment. We'll be able to throw $3,000-$4,000 a month in to debt and/or savings. That is significant. We don't have that much debt, so we can knock that out pretty quickly.
We'll see how it goes.
At least we can get high speed internet there.
After six months or a year we'll be able to purchase our dream property. There will be no waiting, we'll just pick out the perfect place when it comes along and buy it.
So I just have to keep telling myself that it will be all worth it. We can finally stop moving. We can own the place we want to live in for the rest of our lives and be happy.
Almost there.
Almost there. So close.
Living rent free is an incredible blessing, even though it's not an ideal living situation. At least we will be warm. Her house is comfortable as far as heat, plumbing, and all that goes. So there's that.
But moving again. OMG. I don't have time for this.

Take Cd and spray paint gray, front and back. After paint dries apply your angel pattern. Trace angel pattern using tracing paper. Then use the graphite paper to trace pattern onto the cd. You are now ready to paint. Refer to picture while painting. You may want to add a touch of red to the
flesh paint, especially if you are using oils. Paint your angel. If you are using acrylic paints then chalk paint and Q tips are great to shape cheeks.
Next: Before you paint the hair, paint your clouds. Use a Qtip and add fluffy shapes, being sure to allow some of the gray in the background to show through. This will make your clouds look more realistic. After you have done your clouds paint in hair and wings. Add halo and you have your angel. If you are using oil paints allow for drying time. Acrylics dry faster.
Note: If you don't paint that's ok, because the angel decals will make your cd look just as pretty. Angel decals can be found at most craft stores. I found mine at Hobby Lobby.
Finishing: After your Angel has dried you are ready to apply the lace to the edge of your cd. I applied mine with hot glue and went completely around the cd. Then I took the tiny roses and added one at the top, and one to each side. Add a bow to the bottom center and ribbon hanger.
Optional: Card or saying,
Angels Among Us
There are Angels among us here below,
and heaven is full of angels we know.
At rest in the arms of our Father above,
carrying with them a mother's love.
Spray paint mason jar and allow to dry. I used oil paints, light yellow, orange, white, sap green, and burnt umber to paint sunflowers onto the jar. You don't have to paint, you can use a flower decal instead. I glued lace around the top edge of jar and glued a sunflower to the front. When you have done this you are ready to
insert small candle holder and candle into the top of jar to complete candle.
Note: Materials for this craft can be found at Wal-mart and Hobby Lobby.
Small wooden angel
White acrylic paint
White Ribbon
Tiny White rose
Clear Spray paint
Clear shelf paper
Craft Scissors that cut fancy edges (Micheals store has them for $2)
Drill with small bit
First you will need to drill a small hole into the angel head for hanging. Paint wooden angel white. Paint front and back of angel. While paint is wet sprinkle on glitter. After your angel dries spray it with clear spray paint, this adds the shine and protects the paint. Glue a bow and a tiny white rose to angel front. Run ribbon through hole in angel and hole in card to attach, tie ribbon closed.
Card: Print on any color paper poem or saying. Laminate with clear shelf paper and cut around edges with scissors to make fancy edges.
Mourning Angel
This little angel
has a special job
to do. It is a
reminder of your
loved one gone
home to Heaven
who waits for you
and is even now
walking among Angels.
In Memory of Mark (Child's name)
11/5/78 - 1/23/97
Or you can use
Mourning Angel
Crafted with love
to remind you of
your angel above.
Safe at home in
the Father's care
waiting with Angels
to meet you there.
In Memory of Mark (Child's name)
11/5/78 - 1/23/97
Grief Awareness Ribbon
Fold ribbon as shown in picture and apply a small amount of hot glue to the back of top piece of ribbon. Glue white flower to the top of ribbon where the ribbon crosses. Hot glue small gold halo to the middle of flower. Hot glue pin to back of ribbon for wearing.
Optional: You can use the gold paint pin to write child's name on the ribbon and or dates. If you chose to write on your ribbon apply very little pressure, too much will make the paint run.
Card: Print out and laminate. Cut around card with craft scissors. You will only need the card if your pin is going to be a gift. Saying:

The idea of this ribbon was fashioned above,
and sent to earth with the Father's love.
The Ribbon: A reminder that someone cares.
The Flower: A reminder our loved ones
are welcomed home by The Lily of the Valley.
The Golden Halo: A reminder that heaven
has our precious Angel.
The Color White: A reminder of the robe
they donned on the day they went to be with
Jesus...as promised by God. (Rev. 3:5)

Lupus is the common name for systemic lupus erythematosus, also called SLE. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, which means that the body's natural defense system attacks its own tissues instead of attacking foreign substances like bacteria and viruses. This causes inflammation that in turn results in swelling, pain, and tissue damage throughout the body. If you develop severe lupus, you may have problems with your kidneys, heart, lungs, nervous system, or blood cells.
Some people with lupus have mild symptoms, but the disease is lifelong and can become severe. Most people can control their symptoms and prevent severe damage to their organs. They do this by having regular checkups, getting enough rest and exercise, and taking prescribed medicines. Palmetto Infusion can assist with your Columbia SC infusion therapy.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most common and most serious type of lupus. But there are four other types of lupus: discoid or cutaneous lupus, drug-induced systemic lupus, neonatal lupus, and subacute cutaneous lupus.
Your treatment choices for lupus depends on how severe your symptoms are, whether your organs are affected, and how much your symptoms are affecting your daily life. Your treatment plans should be tailored to your individual needs and will change over time, as the disease flares or ebbs. Columbia SC infusion therapy is handled with the greatest attention to your comfort at Palmetto Infusion.
For more severe cases of lupus, treatment may include higher-dose corticosteroids, either in pills or by injection and medicines that suppress the immune system (immunosuppressants). We are able to administer any Columbia SC infusion therapy you are prescribed by your doctor.

Received 16 June 1991; Accepted 20 September 1991. Available online 10 August 2007.
The occurrence and functions of granulocytes in fishes varies between and within groups. Primitive groups (agnathans, holocephalans, elasmobranchs) all have eosinophils with homogeneous round granules. Elasmobranchs also have eosinophils with granules containing an axial crystalline rod, which is the sole eosinophil type present in lungfish. Comparative study suggests that in elasmobranchs and lungfish, heterophils and different forms of eosinophil are all of the eosinophil lineage. Agnathans, holocephalans, dogfishes and lungfish possess fine granulocytes that may be related to neutrophils of teleosts and mammals. Holosteans and chondrosteans have eosinophils and neutrophils, and as in some elasmobranchs and lungfish, basophils are relatively common. Teleosts have neutrophils which are ultrastructurally, and possibly functionally, similar to mammalian neutrophils. More rarely they have cells with elongated granules similar to elasmobranch and reptilian heterophils. Teleost eosinophils have large round homogeneous granules, and cytochemical and functional studies indicate that in some groups, particularly cyprinids, these cells represent an undifferentiated eosinophil/basophil lineage. Roles in inflammation, enzyme cytochemistry, function and evolutionary trends are discussed.
Key words: fish granulocytes; eosinophils; basophils; neutrophils; heterophils; ultrastructure; enzyme cytochemistry

Holly Louise Thomas – Athletics
Holly is currently in her last year of sixth form and is studying Btec Sports and Exercise, Science and English Language.
Because Holly is still studying she finds it hard to fund all the costs for her sport including travel to and from training, travel to and from competition venues, as well warm weather training. The bursary from the LRT will help her meet these costs and therefore help her progress in her athletics career.
Her aim this year is to get to the European juniors. Her coach former hurdler Tony Jarrett feels she has the potential to do this. She will also incur physiotherapist and/or chiropractor costs which she just cannot afford.
"Athletics is such a huge and dominant part of my life and with the support from the LRT I believe I will be able to achieve my goals"

Tornado. The thought can strike fear into the bravest of soul if you live in Tornado Alley. I can remember about three tornados in my life spent in Iowa. My first stands out in my mind the most, because fear does not describe it. I was only three years old at the time. My family lived in an old mansion that had a carriage house, but not a root cellar or basement. So, to go to a safe place, we had to go across the street to Jimmy's house. I can vividly see the fall leaves scurrying across the pavement. I can only imagine the fear and anxiety that was coursing through my dad's veins as he tried to get his in-laws, wife, son, and two daughters across the street and to safety. However, his little three-year-old daughter had complete confidence in her daddy, who carried her across the street.
That was my dad. Strong, tall, and brave. I never saw him cry until several years ago. Life has not been nice to my parents, but they have never complained. Dad has a faith that can move mountains. He persevers through all of the ups and downs thrown his way. When I was eighteen, he had a ruptured disc in his neck. The ER nurses were impressed at his pain threshold. He came to my graduation in a wheelchair, but he was there. Six months later, I met him in the ER again. He and Mom had come to pick me up at the airport from college, but a car behind them had not been able to stop in the bottleneck. Dad's words to me were 'we need to stop meeting like this'. As the years have progressed, he's dealt with constant pain from fibromialgia and various neck and back issues. Yet through it all, he endures.
Some say that courage is dong extraordinary events, but I say that my dad has courage because he faces every day with a smile on his face and gratitude in his heart. It may be difficult to get out of bed or he can't sleep at night, but he lives life moment by moment. He encourages others through their hard times. He has mellowed over the years to a compassionate man. His pride has been broken. He will say if he hurts now. In the past I knew it was a bad pain day because in answer to how are you feeling, he'd say 'with my fingers'. Because of dad, I have great respect for those who struggle with constant pain. He is my role model. If I can be half the person my dad is, I will be happy.
The picture is of my father-in-law, son, dad, and husband when my son graduated from high school three years ago.

Qt3 Classic Game Club: Wing Commander 3
[Editor's note: Every two weeks, we'll pick a classic game to play and discuss. Then the choice of the next game will be made by a randomly selected participant from the current discussion. It's like a book club, but with videogames. We'd love to have you join us. Register for the forums and hop into the discussion! This week's choice, by CraigM, is Wing Commander 3.]
I grew up a huge fan of science fiction, I became obsessed with Star Wars as soon as I discovered it. When my family finally got a PC my first game was a flight sim. And when Wing Commander 3 came out, here was a game combining sci-fi flight sims with Luke Skywalker! It was tailor-made for 12 year old me. Unfortunately at the time the only computer I had access to was an old Apple IIE, and most of my gaming was done on the Sega Genesis. By the time I had the ability to play the game, it had already faded from its glory days. It is one of the greatest omissions in my gaming history, and it thrills me to no end to see if this game really lives up to its reputation.
There are other reasons to pick Wing Commander 3 other than reputation. Space sims are quickly gaining traction. Look no further than Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen to see examples. The designer of Star Citizen is none other than Chris Roberts of Wing Commander fame. So now is the perfect time to see why his name can garner $48 million in crowd funding. That kind of cash is evidence of fierce loyalty that only could come from some truly seminal games.
Wing Commander 3 is also notable for its story. It might seem odd for a flight sim of any stripe to be heralded for narrative, since they often rank with strategy games for their perfunctory nature, but it remains one of the frequently cited strengths of the series. Full motion video, with live big-name actors, underpin the storytelling. The Kilrathi have managed to gain enough notoriety that even my complete absence of any experience with the series does not prevent me from knowing who they are.
Wing Commander can be found at Good Old Games for $5.99.

Thanks for calling in.
Windsor Great Park is true to its name, it's huge and fabulous all in one go. No matter how many times you pass the totem pole near Virginia Water lake, the camera has to come out for another shot.
The faces stare down, however, some of the trees in the park have their own strange features like the one below with its antlers, trunk and smiley eyes.
We were on a mission to walk to the famous Copper Horse statue that you can see from Windsor Castle right at the end of the Long Walk, there and back turned out to be 16,000 steps. Starting at the car park on the A30, walking past the large Virginia Water lake and Obelisk Pond, with its tall obelisk looming large, it wasn't long till we were near The Savill Garden with its magnificent magnolias and rhododendrons spilling over the fences.
Daffodils naturally were everywhere.
Entering the Deer Park through the gate, we could see them browsing in the distance. Look at those antlers.
Turning back past the royal lodges, you can't miss the Park properties that are all painted this rather pretty shade of pink.
Having been past Obelisk Pond and seen the Obelisk, I was very keen to see recently renovated, rectangular Cow Pond, but could I find a cow? No. It will be very pretty in the summer when the waterlilies are blooming though. There's a tiny covered seat at the end of the pond, you might just be able to make it out as we stand on the bridge.
Just about back to the car park, doesn't the grass look wonderful in the sun which eventually burned away the cloud.

With more people using the Internet now, any website that does not function properly is going to receive negative attention. If you want to learn about website design, this article can help.
Users can navigate easier when you use fixed-position navigation. This involves the navigation panel remaining static as the user reads down the page. This isn't just great for a visitor, you can also help out Internet marketers because it allows visitors to have an easier time doing an action like buy products or sign up to get a newsletter.
Incorporate a tagline prominently on your website. A tagline will be a motto or some statement about your business focus. Use clear taglines to help people that visit your page. You only have a few second to get their attention and get them them to look through the whole website.
Don't use lots of graphics. Graphics are indeed important to make your website look well-designed and professional, but if you use too many, it just looks cluttered. Graphics are not meant to be used as mere decorations; they're meant to better your site content. Having the right mix of graphics will improve your site's usability, too.
If you want to create a website that's nice, buy any of the programs on website design that are available today. These programs are easy to use and helps you learn the basics. It doesn't matter how good your content is if your site is dated and unusable.
Consider a free software package when you are setting up your website. It is not necessary to spend a large amount of money on web designing software with the number of quality, free programs available. With a little search effort on your part, the kinds of tools you need can be found, and for free.
Older Versions
Optimize your site for older versions of Internet Explorer (IE7 and IE8). Lots of people grumble about IE, but they still use it, and they often use outdated versions. The older versions do not render all site elements to comply with web standards, which means using workarounds. Make sure you look at the very vexing "box model bug" that IE experienced.
To help you design your site to attract more visitors, you need to include good meta tags on each page. Quality meta tags will help the search engines to recognize what your site is all about. If you use poor meta tags, or worse, don't use them at all, your site will get fewer visitors overall.
If you're stuck in your designing, keep in mind that you can usually find help online. When you need inspiration, you can browse through the almost limitless websites online. Find a site you admire, figure out why you like it, and determine whether or not you can improve upon its premise. Remember though, you still want an original design, not a potluck of other site ideas. You should always improve anything ideas you borrow.
Practice as often as possible, as you begin to learn website design. Start trying out ideas as you learn them. This will help you cement your knowledge. You don't want to only temporarily learn something and then find you have forgotten this information when you need it.
Buy books that describe popular website creation techniques. Start out with selections that cover the basics, and add to your collection as you become more knowledgeable.
Ask another person to test your site out to make sure it works well as you go along. Have someone test each new feature that you add. You might not think much of a video that loads slow, but another set of eyes can give a differing perspective. Do your best to gather outside opinions.
If you incorporate videos to your arsenal of tools on your site, remember that not everyone will have the capacity to view video at high bandwidths. If you choose conversion at 5,000 kilobytes per second, that may overwhelm some users' connections. This results in a slow load time for the video which causes is to continuously buffer every few seconds.
It's not hard to create a great website. When you know what to do, you can design a great website that will engage your audience. Just keep in mind the facts presented in this article.

La Ludoteca Ideale was an Italian board game award. The award aimed at identifying the 10 best board games released in the Italian language during a year.
The voting process was divided in two: the first part was created by voting members from all italian game clubs/associations, and the second part was created by a jury of board game experts.
The combination of these votes decided the final 10 games. The last edition of Ludoteca Ideale happened in 2014: the award has been discontinued.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Eric Parrish scored 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Akron downed Central Michigan 69-63 on Saturday, snapping a four-game skid.
Parrish was 7 of 12 from the field and hit five of his six free throws for the Zips (11-3, 4-8 Mid-American Conference). Daniel Utomi added 20 points and eight rebounds and Jimond Ivey scored 19 points with seven assists.
Parrish hit two 3-pointers and a layup and Utomi drained another 3 in the final three minutes of the first half to give the Zips a 31-27 edge at the break.
Akron led throughout the second half and a 3-pointer by Ivey pushed it to 41-33 with 15:07 to play. Central Michigan's David DiLeo sank a layup to cut it to 65-63 with 52 seconds left but Parrish made two free throws and a dunk in the final 23 seconds to seal the win.
Kevin McKay scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Chippewas (15-10, 4-8).

text: On our way to Tanzania for a week-long safari, we decided to open up our layover in Amsterdam and spend two days in Amsterdam and two days in Paris. Thanks to the high-speed Thalys train, we were able to get from Amsterdam to Paris in about 3 hours. We arrived to Paris around midnight, when the kids' exhaustion and jet lag morphed into giddiness. Nothing like a 1am dance party in Paris. We found a hotel that had three beds per room just outside of Paris's main train station. This was great because it was much cheaper than being in the middle of the city, but connected us via metro line. It was also nice to be able to check our bags at the train station after checking out of the hotel, so that we could head back into the city before our train left. Another bonus: that train station (Gare du Nord) is a stop on the L'Open open-air bus tour, which leads me to my #1 piece of advice for doing Paris with kids: use the open-air touristy bus to get around to all of the destinations. Yes, it's horribly tourist and cliche but it's also incredibly convenient, straightforward, and educational. We started our first day trying to navigate the subway system and it was frustrating and time-consuming. And the Metro in Paris is not the most scenic way to see the city. So mid-day we decided to pony up for six tickets on the open-air bus, and it's the best decision we made. Being able to hop on and hop off at our leisure, while letting someone else navigate the city, made for a more relaxing and productive day. The bus line we chose, L'Open, traverses the entire city and made stops at every place we wanted to see. But the ride is a journey in and of itself, because there is so much to see from the top of the bus. L'Open offers headphones to each passenger so that you can listen to a little history lesson on each site you pass, and they even feature a special channel just for kids. The interludes include quaint French music to get you in the mood. Our first stop was the Louvre museum. We decided not to tour the museum – it is vast and gorgeous but our museum stint the day before was a lesson that our kids are not quite of the age where a museum holds their interest. Instead, we walked the grounds out front, letting them play tag in the garden mazes, and strolling up the pathway to the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel Along the way is a great park where kids can let off some energy. From there, we caught the bus again and drove up the Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe. Around lunchtime we hopped off the bus and found a cute cafe for lunch. The food in Paris is phenomenal. You can hardly walk down the street without stumbling into a cute cafe with outdoor seating. This salad with goat cheese toast may be the best meal I had in France. After lunch we hopped back on the bus to kid an incredible view of the Eiffel Tower. We didn't get off because we decided we wanted to experience going to the top at night during the light show. After a few more sights on the green line of the L'Open tour, we hopped off at Notre Dame. From there, we took the Lover's Bridge over the River Seine, where you can see all of the lover's locks. We strolled along the river for a bit, where people were setting up to picnic at sunset. We walked for a bit, and then decided to take an hour-long Seine River cruise at sunset. The boat, like the bus, was another great way to see the city. We got another view of the Eiffel Tower, and many other great sights. My kids were still jet-lagged so a few of them took a nap. We also did a lot of napping on the bus. Those little bits of sleep seemed to recharge them throughout the day even though we had been up until the wee hours the night before. After our boat cruise, we headed to the Eiffel Tower. We took the elevator all the way to the top, and the 11pm light show started just as we got there. Perfect timing. For our second day in France, we slept in quite a bit, and then headed to a cute corner cafe for breakfast. We dropped our luggage at a locker at the train station, so we could spend the day seeing the city before our evening train back to Amsterdam. After that, we got back on the bus. We decided to have a more relaxed day, since we'd been able to squeeze in so many sites the first day. Our first stop was to Jardin du Luxembourg, a beautiful spot in front of a historical mansion, perfect for strolling and sitting. We chose this spot because we had heard it had a great play around for kids, and it did not disappoint. The play area cost 2 Euros per kid and was well worth the price. They played for about an hour an then we hopped back on the bus. Our intention was to ride around the southern part of the city, but a few stops in and we had to disembark because the streets were closed for a parade. As it turns out, it was the Paris PRIDE parade. We watched for a bit, and even walked with them for a stretch. It was a fun and positive vibe, and an unexpected treat. Since our bus route was foiled, we grabbed a metro up to our next destination: the Church of the Sacred Heart. The church is at the top of a very steep set of hundreds of steps. I recommend coming in the back way, because these stairs wind a bit and kids won't realize how far it is to the top. Then you can walk down the front stairs, stopping to enjoy all of the street performers on the way down. After the church we hopped back on the bus and took it to the train station, grabbing some French bread for the road.

Dallas and Fort Worth have a wealth of museums. From the Spanish art at SMU's Meadows Museum to the impressive shows put on by the Kimbell, north Texans have a lot to inspire them. Must be why the graphics folks have a little extra going for them, eh? One such artistic type to watch is KTVT's newest creative service team member, STEPHEN PLATT. As a matter of fact, his boss, Creative VP DAVID HERSHEY, tagged Stephen as a Superstar in the making. That is high praise indeed. Stephen is no stranger to the CBS operation, having interned there in 2011. A TWU (Texas Women's University) grad, Mr. P shared his passion is with illustration but he loves all aspects of design. Big colorful Well Dunne! Stephen.

Developers who are redoing one of downtown Dallas' largest buildings have sold the promised city financial incentives for the project.
Commerce Statler Development LLC — the company created by developer Mehrdad Moayedi to redevelop the landmark hotel — sold the tax increment finance grant the city of Dallas provided for the huge downtown deal.
The Statler developer used the almost $46.5 million in city incentives that helped fund the project to back a unique $26.5 million public bond offering, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show.
Securities firm Jefferies LLC underwrote the public debt offering, which was made through the Wisconsin Public Finance Authority.
The sale of the tax-free bonds allowed the Statler developer to access funds that wouldn't be provided from the city's tax increment financing for years.
"This is an innovative funding tool that will allow Dallas taxpayers to realize immediate benefit of the TIF money the city of Dallas is investing," Moayedi said in a statement. "It made sense to us to be able to utilize funds now to enhance the quality of the project.

The 'Golden Age' On Hollyburn Mountain
1927/1928 & 1928/1929 Ski Seasons
Canadian Ski Year Reports, Daily Province Sports Stories, Photos from HHS Archives
Hollyburn Ski Camp circa 1929
Hollyburn Pacific Ski Club (1927/1928 Ski Season)
Rudolph Jules Verne
The past season proved to be a banner one for the- ski sport on the Pacific Coast, and as our Club took a leading part in all its activities, we had a very busy and successful season.
The general public in Vancouver are taking a more active interest in ski-iug and are beginning to realize the possibilities for recreation on our mountain tops during the winter months. The average Vancouverite does not know that when it is dull and foggy in the city, the sun is often shining on the mountain tops 4,000 to 5,000 feet above them. Once they have been up top and taken a few deep breaths of the invigorating mountain air and have seen the bright sun shining on the clean white snow, they are soon converted to winter sports.
Ski-ing takes the lead as a winter attraction because conditions aloe so suitable for it. It is rarely cold enough here for outdoor skating but there is always five months of fine ski-ing weather. Our snow came to stay early in November last year, and the keen skiers were still at it when May 24 rolled around. Our average depth of snow was six feet up to the end of February, but then it started to snow and by the end of March there was twelve feet which stayed a long while.
Last year was a busy one with competitions every week-end for nearly three months at home and in other parts of the province, and as all our supplies and skis have to be back-packed up to the camp a competition away from home means some hard work.
Fifteen members of the Club made the trip to Banff and Revelstoke where our A Class men gave a good account of themselves, although they did not win any first places. This trip took ten days and the party travelled nearly 2,500 miles in that time. The week-end following the Western Canada Championships at Banff, four of our members motored 375 miles south to Portland, where a newcomer to our Club, Fred Finckenhagen, won the U.S. Pacific Coast Jumping Championship. At Vernon, which is about 250 miles inland in the Okanagan Valley, on the next Friday and Saturday, Axel Sneis, our Club champion, placed second in the cross-country race, and third in the combined.
Sneis proved to be our most consistent winner as he placed in every competition he entered. He is outstanding as a cross-country man, and is the present city cross-country champion. He was never in competitive ski-ing until three years ago, so we have great hopes in him for the future.
Fladmark, the 1927-28 Club champion, had the misfortune to break three ribs soon after returning from Banff, which spoilt his chances for repeating his triumphs of last year.
To interest the public and to get more skiers in competition a team event was held last winter. This is to be an annual affair open to all Western Clubs, and takes the form of a short cross-country race in the morning, with jumping in the afternoon. There were two competitions, with the clubs entering eight men each, one on Grouse Mountain and the other on Hollyburn Ridge, with the trophy going to the club getting the most points in both competitions. Our Club won both events in competition with the two other local clubs so we are now the proud possessors of the Tupper and Steele Trophy. This trophy is a magnificent one, and the ski sport is indebted to Messrs. Tupper and Steele for their generosity and sportsmanship.
A marked improvement was shown by our novices last year, and with the able coaching of our hard-working Club Captain, Chris Johnson, they will soon be giving a good account of themselves.
As it is a 4 mile hike from Marine Drive in West Vancouver to the ski camp which is 3,000 feet above the city, the boys and girls do not start ski-ing at as early an age as in the East. The hike serves as a very good conditioner, however, so progress is usually rapid once they get started. We are looking forward to the time when the Eastern skiers will make the trip West to try out our hills and wonderful ski country, and we feel sure they will be as enthusiastic about it as we are. Our members are always ready to show any of you who are fortunate enough to be out here the trails which lead to our snowy playgrounds, and we hope to have that pleasure soon.

Ski-ing on Hollyburn (1928)
Clarke W. Hoffman
On Hollyburn we have our own peculiar snow conditions-wet and sticky in the middle of the day, with an icy crust early in the morning and late in the evening, making very fast running in the early and later part of the day, and waxing necessary. The snow begins to fall about the middle-of November, lasting until the latter put of June, with a depth of from nine to twenty feet and even deeper on the Peaks.
Hollyburn Ridge is a plateau, two miles wide by five miles long, sparsely
wooded and with gentle rises, an ideal ski country.
The Club members start out from Vancouver in the late afternoon with a good two hours' hike before them, but the time passes quickly and before we know it we are at the Camp, three thousand feet above sea level. Some spend the evening dancing, a crowd gathers around the piano for dose harmony, while others fix their skis for an early morning run.
The girl members show keen interest in the sport, taking part in all cross-country runs, the more ambitious making long trips to Mount Strahan and Hollyburn Peak-true sportswomen all. The boys of the Club also have shown sportsmanship of the highest order.
"Winning with smiling face:
Losing with good grace."
In the crisp morning air, any time between March and June, you will see parties of from five to twenty boys and girls starting for Hollyburn Peak or Mount Strahan.
On the way to the Peak we first encounter the morning mists, these giving place to the bright sunlight which comes stealing through the trees. When we arrive at the Peak we find a wondrous beauty of sunlit snow hanging from the trees in sparkling crystals. We are now forty-eight hundred feet above sea level, with the Fraser River winding to the south, Howe Sound and Vancouver Island to the south-west, and majestic snow-clad peaks stretching as far as the eve can see to the north and north-east.
Dropping down fifteen hundred feet into the valley between Hollyburn Ridge and Mount Strahan we approach Strahan Meadows, an ideal spot for ski-ing, open and rolling country. Next we encounter more wooded areas, soon arriving at our destination--the top of Mount Strahan, a snow-clad plateau.
From here a magnificent view of Howe Sound with its many islands is obtained. We rest for a while, awed into silence by the grandeur of the scene. Then comes the return journey. Speeding with the flight of a bird we reach the valley between Mount Strahan and Hollyburn in about three minutes. From here we climb fifteen hundred feet to the plateau of Hollyburn, with a swift descent from there to the cabin.
Arriving safely at the cabin we put away our skis until the next week-end.
After enjoying a mug of Oscar Pearson's famous coffee we gather our belongings and light our bugs (old cans with holes punched in the bottoms in which we stick our candles), groups of which, like fireflies, are soon twinkling down the trail.
A short trip on the ferry takes us back to Vancouver and to the duties of everyday life, which we attack with fervor, feeling very fit after our healthy, invigorating week-end trip.

Michael Cunningham's "By Nightfall," reviewed by Ron Charles
By Michael Cunningham.
Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
256pp. $25
What are we to make of Michael Cunningham's horny new novel about the power of beauty to rouse us from ennui? The question gets no help from the publisher, which illustrates its dark title with a funereal tulip instead of, say, the abs on Michelangelo's "David." The dust jacket describes "By Nightfall" as "heartbreaking . . . full of shocks and aftershocks." But actually, it's rather witty and a little outrageous -- none of that difficult reanimation of Virginia Wolfe in "The Hours," which won the 1999 Pulitzer Prize, or the Whitmanian sprawl of his last novel, "Specimen Days." No, from the complex triptychs of his previous two books, Cunningham has moved to a svelte story with just a touch of actual plot about an art dealer feeling cramped by his own smallness. With its eroticized reflections on modern aesthetics and liberal guilt, it's like watching a bi-curious college professor annotate an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue.
At 44, Peter Harris is contentedly married (20 years) and living in a SoHo loft that makes him feel proud if cliche. As the owner of an exclusive gallery, he glides through the wealthiest houses and apartments, ingratiating and confident in equal measure as he manages the anxieties and vanities of his artists and clients. He's "never graduated to the majors," but a few careful moves could elevate him into that rarefied realm.
One of the pleasures of this novel is Cunningham's description of these intoxicating homes, from the "insistent glittery buzz" of a Manhattan party to a rambling mansion on the coast, "all fieldstone and gables, girded on three of its four sides by verandas; contrived, somehow, with a sense of absolute authenticity." Among the many classic literary voices he channels is F. Scott Fitzgerald, simultaneously swooning over and deriding these gorgeous temples of consumerism.
And he's even better with the trophies that decorate such homes: the objects that pass through galleries like Peter's, trying to catch the eye of the right editor, the right curator or a handful of influential critics who can transform, say, a giant ball of tar and hair into a multimillion-dollar masterpiece. Cunningham moves fluently through this occult world of fortune and taste, demonstrating his appreciation for modern art and his disdain for the lacquer of hucksterism. He can riff brilliantly on the bizarre work of Damien Hirst (remember that shark in formaldehyde) just as confidently as he can make up his own artists and slot their pieces into the cult of beauty, shock and excess money.
We meet Peter when he's quietly mulling over the dissatisfactions of his life, among them the nagging worry that he's failed his college-aged daughter and the sense that he's not quite ambitious enough or vulgar enough to rise higher. After a "lifelong, congenital disappointment," a deeper thirst is troubling him, too, a desperate desire for a kind of beauty that seems out of reach: "He can't stop himself from mourning some lost world, he couldn't say which world exactly but someplace that isn't this."
Yes, this is another midlife crisis novel (a crowded market if there ever was one), but it's redeemed by the hero's willingness to mock his preciousness, to recognize the audacity of even a sliver of discontent amid such bounty. During a night of queasy insomnia Peter thinks, "How could he, could any member of the .00001 percent of the prospering population, dare to be troubled . . . ? He is impossibly fortunate; frighteningly fortunate. Your troubles, little man? Think of them as an appetizer that didn't turn out quite right. You should sing and frolic, you should make obeisance to any god you can think of."
While Jonathan Franzen -- God bless him -- is still pumping away at the big-plotted novel, several other super-sophisticated writers have published books this year about middle-aged men studying their navels: I'm thinking of James Hynes's "Next," Jonathan Lethem's "Chronic City" and Joshua Ferris's "The Unnamed" -- a mixed bag, to be sure, but all plot-starved books that put tremendous pressure on the author's style. In that regard, Cunningham reigns supreme. There are flashier, more pyrotechnic stylists, but for pure, elegant, efficient beauty, Cunningham is astounding. He's developed this captivating narrative voice that mingles his own sharp commentary with Peter's mock-heroic despair. Half Henry James, half James Joyce, but all Cunningham, it's an irresistible performance, cerebral and campy, marked by stabbing moments of self-doubt immediately undercut by theatrical asides and humorous quips.
Peter, you see, is a man burdened with hyper-self-analysis that delivers every personal insight gilded with irony. He reflexively thinks of himself and those around him in terms of literary characters and mythologized historical figures. They crowd his imagination (and these pages), from Isabel Archer to Dorothea Brooke, Helen and the Trojans, Ludwig of Bavaria, Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby, Dante and Beatrice.
