KEENE, a city and the county-seat of Cheshire county, New Hampshire, U.S.A., on the Ashuelot river, about 45 M. S.W. of Concord, N.H., and about 92 m. W.N.W. of Boston. Pop. (1900), 9165, of whom 1255 were foreign-born; (1910 census), ro,o68. Area, 36.5 sq. m. It is served by the Boston & Maine railroad and by the Fitchburg railroad (leased by the Boston & Maine). The site is level, but is surrounded by ranges of lofty hills—Monadnock Mountain is about ro m. S.E. Most of the streets are pleasantly shaded. There are three parks, with a total area of about 219 acres; and in Central Square stands a soldiers' and sailors' monument designed by Martin Milmore and erected in 1871. The principal buildings are the city hall, the county buildings and the city hospital. The Public Library had in 1908 about 6,3oo volumes. There are repair shops of the Boston & Maine railroad here, and manufactures of boots and shoes, woollen goods, furniture (especially chairs), pottery, &c. The value of the factory product in 1905 was $2,690,967. The site of Keene was one of the Massachusetts grants made in 1733, but Canadian Indians made it untenable and it was abandoned from 1746 until 1750. In 1753 it was incorporated and was named Keene, in honour of Sir Benjamin Keene (1697-1757), the English diplomatist, who as agent for the South Sea Company and Minister in Madrid, and as responsible for the commerical treaty between England and Spain in 1750, was in high reputation at the time; it was chartered as a city in 1874.End of Article: KEENE

Where to Start:
There is so much conflicting advice given to the public about how to lose weight, it's understandable that even some of the most savvy fitness freaks can get confused about what they should/shouldn't be eating or how they should be working out. If you have just decided to make a change and become healthier and fitter (yay for you!) it can be quite a daunting situation- should you be eating carbs after 6 or even at all? Should you completely cut out fat and sugar? Should you try the 5:2 diet? I have put together a basic guide to get you started- nobody needs to go on crazy crash diets to lose weight, you just need to eat the right foods, in the right amounts, within your calorie requirements and make sure you exercise too. So, you've taken a big step by deciding to lose weight so I have decided to do the same by sharing with you something that is a little scary for me…my before picture. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I look bad at my heaviest- I am all for the importance of loving your body at every stage (otherwise you're never going to be happy) but for me the picture ain't pretty, I am in my skimpies, no make up, hair scraped back. Basically at my most horrendous…and I am sharing it with the whole world. Stupidly I didn't take any better pictures when I started on my fitness journey so this will have to do. The picture on the right (apologies for the poor quality) was taken in February 2013, the second pic was taken in May 2014. It took me just over a year to lose over 1 and a half stone. I have maintained the body size I am in the second pic (with minor fluctuation) for nearly 9 months. These picture were taken roughly 6 months apart. In the second picture I was half way through my half marathon training and was running 4-8 miles 4-5 times a week and my diet had started to improve. I lost a lot of fat during my half marathon training however I wasn't really toned and wanted to lose even more fat. After my half marathon I started lifting weights… The first picture here was taken in October 2013, the second in October 2014. In that time I had been lifting weights approx 4 times a week and then towards the later part of the year, I started Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide. I now complete 3 of Kayla's workouts a week (with her recommended HIIT sessions too) and usually add in one weights session and often a run or power walk too. Throughout my weight loss journey I have also attended weekly Krav Maga classes and since May 2014, have regularly attended yoga classes too. So, in terms of exercise I recommend finding something you love, because if you don't enjoy it you'll eventually stop exercising. However, for a really fit, toned body it is important to do cardio AND resistance training- the most effective form of cardio is HIIT or high intensive interval training. As an example, I usually complete 10-15mins of HIIT on the treadmill, I will do 20 seconds sprinting 10 seconds break (jump onto the sides of the treadmill) or 30 seconds sprinting, 30 seconds break. For resistance training I do Kayla Itsines guide and 1 weightlifting session per week. I highly recommend Kayla's guide, you can purchase it here For your diet I would recommend downloading the app MyFitnessPal. It is a great app for beginners that allows you to add in your body stats (height, weight etc…) and then, based on how much weight you'd like to lose and how quickly, calculates how many calories you need to be consuming in order to reach your goal. Now MyFitnessPal isn't perfect, it is not as accurate as other methods but it is one of the easiest ways to get you started. You can keep a diary of all the foods you've eaten (can even scan the bar code of the food label) and MFP will know all the nutritional info and tell you how many calories you have consumed. You can also add in any exercise you have completed, although I don't recommend this as it then allows you more calories to consume for that day (because you've burnt extra calories) BUT you can't out exercise a bad diet so I would stick to just adding food into the app. As a rough guide, stay away from anything really sugary or fatty. Limit sugary drinks, biscuits, sweets, snacks, fried foods, takeaways, white carbs e.g. white bread, pasta and potatoes. Stick to lean meats such a chicken, turkey and fish. Include as many vegetables a possible (eat the rainbow). Eat 2-3 portions of fruit per day. Eat wholegrain such as brown bread, pasta and rice and oats. Have some dairy but stay away from processed stuff and stick to natural yoghurt and a small amount of cheese or milk. Drink lots of water. Make it fun! Check out my recipes to make healthy eating fun- it really doesn't have to be boring. Another diet I have been trialling lately is the 8 hour diet, it is really working for me; if you'd like to know more, check out my blog post about it here I hope this helps to get you started, any questions, just comment below and good luck!
I hope my photos give you the motivation to start eating healthy, it's not going to be easy, it's really tough and you will have good days and bad but I can promise you, it is the best thing you can do for yourself and you will not regret it!

3M strengthens automotive acoustics activity
Technology company 3M has set up a specialist European Automotive Acoustics Group in the UK.
Already active in NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) and structural adhesives, the group will focus on balancing manufacturers' weight reduction and acoustics requirements, and developing advanced materials and products into cost-effective bespoke solutions. 3M is allocating additional resources to its European acoustics laboratories in Bracknell and will expand its European engineering, testing and manufacturing capabilities.
The head of the new group, Abs Master, says using 3M's proprietary Thinsulate acoustic insulation as part of an intelligent material mix could help engineers cut vehicles' mass, with reductions of up to 50 per cent in the weight of some parts. "In a recent application, we were able to save 2kg from a single 4kg component," he said.
Thinsulate acoustic insulation uses a lightweight, non-woven blend of polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate fibres. It is up to four times lighter than traditional mixed-fibre shoddy mats, foams and other absorbers, and is also hydrophobic, allowing it be used in exterior applications such as fender liners and the water-shedders inside doors.
As well as its advantages for weight reduction, some manufacturers are using Thinsulate to help them replace expensive moulded parts, says 3M. The flat, multi-layer material is die-cut with slits and perforation, allowing it to form around the vehicle body in the same way as a moulded part. "It's not just lighter," says Master. "By reducing the tooling and logistics, there's also a financial benefit. Its properties make it a particularly competitive alternative to moulded foams for transmission tunnels and the interior dash mats."
3M plans to introduce further acoustic materials innovations in the coming months.
The Automotive Acoustics Group caters for all applications including body-in-white, interior, exterior, powertrain and paintshops.

Recipes from Cooking Classes with Meals on Wheels
We've partnered with Meals on Wheels London and the Village Table to organize fun and interactive community cooking classes! These classes are held at the Food Incubator in London, a place in the OEV for small business to get their roots and continue to grow.
Salad Bar
- 4 boxes Slegers leafy greens
- 2 boxes Slegers micro greens
- Lemon Vinaigrette
- Classic Vinaigrette
- Craisins
- Sunflower seeds
- 1 Cucumber, diced
- 2 Colourful Carrots, peeled for ribbons
- 1 Red pepper, diced
- 1 Yellow pepper, diced
- 1 pint Strawberries, chopped
- 3 Apples, diced
- Edible Flowers (optional)
Classic Vinaigrette recipe
- ¼ cups apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup canola oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Lemon Vinaigrette recipe
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 5 mint leaves, minced
- salt to taste
Stuffed Baguette
- 2 baguettes
- 500g cream cheese
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 10 sundried tomatoes, diced
- 150 g salami, sliced thinly and cut into thin strips
Slice the baguette down one side and pull out most of the filling, so that you have a hinged piece of bread that is easy to fill. Weigh the cream cheese into a mixing bowl and give it a good mix with a wooden spoon to make it nice and smooth. Once everything is sliced up into small pieces, add the ingredients to the cream cheese and mix to combine. Grab the baguette shells and a spoon and stuff each piece of baguette with the mixture. Make sure they pack it in firmly as this will make it so much easier and neater to slice later on. When the baguettes are full to the brim, wrap them in cling film and place in the fridge until the cream cheese becomes more firm.
Ham, Apple, Brie Melt
- 10 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 apples, sliced very thinly
- 20 slices ham
- 1 (10-ounce) wedge brie, sliced
- About 2 cups of arugula
- softened butter
Butter one side of each slice of bread. On five slices (non-buttered side), layer cheese, ham, apples, arugula, and then finish with a layer of cheese (this will help keep the sandwich together). Stack the last five slices of bread on the sandwiches (butter side facing out). Once the sandwiches are built, fry them in a frying pan until the cheese melts and each side is golden brown.
Italian Sliders
- 12 slider buns, cut in half
- 12 slices ham
- 12 slices salami
- 12 slices provolone cheese.
- 2 beefsteak tomatoes, sliced thinly
- 2 cups lettuce, shredded
- 1 red onion, sliced thinly
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, dijon mustard, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. On each slider, spread mayonnaise mixture and top with ham, salami, cheese, tomatoes, onion, and lettuce. Cut each slider in half and place a toothpick in each half to hold sandwich together.

This week the Democrats will get their first avowed presidential candidate, when Rep. Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri goes home to St. Louis and makes his bid official.
Until now, former Delaware Gov. Pierre S. ``Pete`` du Pont, IV, a Republican, has been able to tell his audiences, in self-mocking good humor, that they were ``looking at 100 percent of the declared presidential candidates`` when they looked at him. Du Pont got into the race last fall.
I saw both du Pont and Gephardt on the campaign trail last week in Iowa and Florida and it set me thinking about the challenge facing the voters of both parties, with all the first-time presidential candidates who will be running this next year.
Gephardt and du Pont are well-known and well-liked by their own constituents, but they number about one four-hundredths of the citizens of the nation they propose to lead. They are well-recommended by the folks at home, where neither ever suffered a defeat. But despite their years in office (duPont served three terms in the House and eight years as governor; Gephardt, 10 years in the House), they are unknown to most Americans.
In that respect, they are not much different from such other first-time candidates and potential candidates as Rep. Jack Kemp, R-N.Y., former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Republican, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrat, Gov. Michael S. Dukakis, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and former Gov. Bruce Babbitt, an Arizona Democrat. Former Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig, Republican, and the Rev. Marion G. ``Pat`` Robertson, Republican, have a degree of television recognition. Only Haig is in the league with those who have run for President before, including Vice President George Bush, Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas and former Sen. Howard H. Baker of Tennessee, all Republicans, and, on the Democratic side, former Sen. Gary Hart of Colorado and the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson.

One of my first jobs was as a cleaner in a cafe, followed by a promotion to sandwich preparer. I carefully arranged salad in bread for others more qualified to stuff with proper filling. Eventually I was deemed competent enough to become a 'La Baguette du Jour girl'. Imagine my horror when someone returned to complain that there wasn't enough tomato in their Mediterranean Medley. I cried so much, that I had to work in the back kitchen for the rest of the day because my boss was worried that customers would think she was beating the staff.
In Australia, on my year out, I wasn't cut out for veg picking for very long (something I have reflected upon for years). Having finally made it into the factory, to sort red peppers by quality into boxes, I was gutted to have my number called and have to do the walk of shame to the boss who pulled grade C peppers out of my grade A box. How could I have got it so wrong?
I once had to brief the Big Boss in New York. It was pretty rare that I had to go to his office to talk about my issue, which was very much further down his agenda than mine. I was flustered, I wanted the him to know that I was working hard, doing everything I could, busily. My kindly colleague even offered to print my papers while I took a moment to freshen up. I didn't take the hint. Instead I arrived at his office, harassed, frazzled, puffing. I'm not sure at which point I realised that my performance might not have given the best impression, but it was long after. So focused was I on letting him know that I was working hard, I overlooked letting him know I had it under control.
I could go on and on with stories about a true fear of making mistakes in public and what other people think.
So imagine the stomach churning fear when my 7yo blurted out between sobs recently: '[my friend] says I'm rubbish at stuff'. Hold the fucking phone: firstly, proof, if it were needed, that gender has nothing to do with overly emotional and destructive internal monologues. Secondly, how can it be possible that my perfect boy doesn't think he's good enough? And thirdly, who is this child and where does he live?
He's always been a sensitive soul; I see the fear rise in him when someone asks him a question or if he thinks he's been caught out. That first less than glowing school report that had him sobbing his heart out all the way home. The blind frustration and rage that bubbles out after a brotherly injustice. 'I don't want to say it' he mumbles 'they might laugh at me'. So familiar and so cringe, I know exactly how he feels; fearing questions, dreading getting it wrong, feeling not quite good enough. It's easier not to put you hand up than to not get picked. He gets away with it, at least in part, because there is often a low expectation: 'that's boys for you' they say. Worse than that, he's beginning to use it as an excuse, he doesn't expect to be good at stuff any more, and that's where we're letting him down.
Desperate to save him from it, we've gone all out on homework and learning, and it's paying off, he enjoys the feeling of impressing people. I've started telling him stories about when I've felt silly or made a mistake, and how I've dealt with it. He laughs at me and asks for more, hopefully taking comfort and maybe learning some self preservation skills. We shared a chuckle the other day when he asked me 'what animal do you know the most about?' 'I know a little bit about lots of animals, what would you like to know?' I replied, not wanting to be caught out. Later, he asked the same question of Rich who replied 'I know loads about loads of animals, what would you like to know?'. Rich has a confidence and doesn't fear mistakes in a way that I will always be envious of and wish for the boys to inherit.
Meanwhile, 5yo has suddenly has embraced school, he's completely figured out that the more the teachers think you are good (and cute), the more mischief you can get away with. It's been a major transformation as he proudly repeats his day of learning then asks if he can practice his big brother's reading book. He's impressive and admirable. And a massive wind up merchant.
It's tough for us as parents to get used to these role reversals; 7yo who was always the quiet, considerate, smart one was suddenly struggling to keep up. While 5yo was the wacky, mischievous, funny one has been rocking it. (2yo, is a moany, sleepless, pain in the neck right now so let's hope that role-reverses soon!). So just when you think you've got their number, they go and amaze you. Everyday these charming, sensitive boys are out there figuring it out by themselves, finding their own place, and believing they are worthy is part of it. That's what we're hoping to teach them, more than their times tables or word building, to have confidence in who they are. And everyday, that's what they're teaching me too.

They also destroyed twelve off-road vehicles with installed high-caliber weapons" he said.
Moreover, Konashenkov added that important ISIS commanders, hiding for a long time in Iraq were also killed during the strikes.
"According to information received via several channels and confirmed "on the ground", influential ISIS field commanders, natives of the North Caucasus: Abu Omar al-Shishani, Alyauddin Al-Shishani and Salahuddin al-Shishani, who were hiding in Iraq for a long time, were destroyed".

First things first: If you want to know how to be creative, you must recognize that you're already creative. Creativity is not dependent on who you are or what you do for a living. Creativity is inherently woven into the human condition, and art is not limited to a select few. We're all gifted with the ability to interact with inspiration.
"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul." – Dieter F. Uchtdorf
It doesn't really matter what you want to create or why you want to create. Whether it's for yourself or for the world's pleasure, my biggest suggestion is to create from the bottom of your heart, because you truly love it.
When you're absolutely in love with the idea that's captivated you, you'll probably inspire love and joy in others just by following your own fascinations."There is no love which does not become help." – Paul Tillich Click To Tweet
Sometimes it's easy to converse with inspiration, and other times it can be an almost impossible task. That's one of the mysteries of the universe, and the good news is that we don't need to understand the unknown.
When you do find yourself unable to communicate with creativity, I have a few ideas.
May these suggestions serve you.
How to Be Creative & Converse with Inspiration
Start a Morning Routine
1. Repeat a positive affirmation. Creativity is enhanced by positive perspectives, whereas it's restrained by the limiting views of negativity and fear.
Framing life in positive terms, and coloring your world with optimistic and friendly perspectives first thing in the morning can help you experience more joyful, peaceful, grateful, creative moments during your day.
2. Make room for peace and quiet. Inspiration often blossoms from stillness. Spending even a small portion of your morning in silence will help you ease into the day. It's an especially good practice if your days tend to be noisy and hectic.
3. Meditate for 5 minutes (or more). Meditation boosts your brain's ability to generate new ideas, gearing you up for a creative day ahead.
4. Look at blues and greens. The color green is associated with growth. The color blue leads to more relaxed and associative thinking and it is the color associated with the sky, the ocean, or openness in general. Gazing at shades of blue and green is an easy way to incorporate inspiration into your mornings.

Get Zen about Your Work
5. Take breaks. Through my own experience, taking a 10 minute break for every hour of work is a good ratio. It gives the mind a chance to rest and process information.
6. Keep your desk tidy and clean. Your work space should be a place where energy and inspiration are allowed to flow, with as little distraction as possible.
7. Use a pen and paper. Write out your to-do list and work notes by hand to get the creative juices flowing. Sometimes, just the feel of paper at our fingertips can help us connect with what we're thinking, feeling, and experiencing.
8. Replace your desk chair with an exercise ball to keep energy moving as you gently bounce through your work day. Plus it's an opportunity to incorporate stretching and play into your day (which also support creativity).
9. Listen to music while you work. Music stimulates the part of our brain that controls emotions, creativity, and motor actions. The Mozart Effect links classical music to increased creativity, concentration, and other cognitive functions.
10. Create an inspiration board. You could also create an inspiration corner or an entire room dedicated to creativity, if you have the means (though it's not necessary). Every time you look at this collection of your favorite colors, quotes, textures, pictures, etc. you invite inspiration to reveal itself.

Always Be Learning
11. Read a book that sparks your interest. Each page you turn opens your mind to new ideas and allows you precious insight into the way others think (even if they're fictional characters).
12. Open the dictionary to a random page and entertain an idea based on that word. I also love using the thesaurus to discover new ways to say things.
13. Adopt a beginner's mind. Children are so receptive and absorb information like a sponge partly because they have what's known as "beginner's mind." Their mind is open, free of judgment and limiting beliefs, allowing them to learn more freely and with less restriction.
14. Brainstorm and socialize. Contemplating other perspectives affords you the opportunity to think differently about what you believe in and how you see the world. You don't need to change your beliefs, but it can be liberating and inspiring to practice open-mindedness about others' beliefs.
15. View every challenge as a learning experience. There is a hidden lesson in every circumstance, an opportunity in each challenge, and a buried treasure waiting for you to find it. Learning to view our obstacles as opportunities rather than burdens is a trait of an optimistic mind, and positive thinking is a close relative of happiness and creativity.
Start an Evening Routine
16. Start a reflection journal, noting what you've experienced, even learned, that day. Every little thing counts. Writing itself can bring many benefits. The benefits of keeping a journal include the enhanced ability to harness creativity.
17. Start any kind of journal. Carry around a pen and notebook during the day to jot down ideas and scribble as you wish. Writing is a beautiful way to let your imagination and thoughts flow freely. Your thoughts don't need to be finished or perfect either, which leaves more room for creative freedom.
18. Lay down on the floor with your legs up on the couch or bed (at a 90 degree angle). This simple stretch relaxes your neck and spine (and possibly even your mind). You're making space in your body for inspiration to flow through. Plus, the world just seems different when you're looking up.
19. Get enough sleep. Sleep gives the brain a chance to process information from the day, and it rejuvenates the body for another day. Sleep is positively linked to creativity. If you could use some assistance getting a good night's sleep, you can try breathing practices, words of affirmation, and writing down your worries on paper.
Focus on Your Happiness
20. Don't quit your day dreams. Research conducted by Jonathan Schooler at the University of California in Santa Barbara found that those who daydream score higher on various tests of creativity. Letting our imagination flow into distant lands may improve our ability to solve problems.
21. Go outside and breathe in the fresh air. A change of scenery–literally–provides you with a bounty of new information to process. You'll also get your daily dose of blues and greens (as noted above), and possibly some sunshine on your skin. Going for a nature walk helps me remember how to be creative.
22. Go somewhere new. Broadening your mental horizon will help you break free from limiting habits and small thoughts. Travel somewhere, whether near or far, and let your sight adjust.
23. Practice yoga. Certain yoga poses can boost creativity. If you're not into yoga, try getting into stretching. Stretching your body makes it easier to concentrate on learning to stretch your mind. Personally, I love yoga.
24. Move and sweat. Exercise boosts your energy level, improves your mood, relieves stress, and increases creativity. Perhaps try to think about it like this: I'm sweating away all the stuck energy and making more space for creativity to flow freely through me.
25. Play. Again, become childlike in your mannerisms. Be silly, be weird, and laugh with those you love–pets count. Relax for a little while, because you're okay.
26. Laugh, even when you don't feel like laughing. The act itself can trigger a positive mood which facilitates creativity by boosting activity in the area of the brain that's tied to emotion, decision-making, and complex cognition.
27. Start a conversation with inspiration. This may sound silly, but it's an interesting idea that comes from Elizabeth Gilbert's book, Big Magic. There's this negative voice in our head that tries to convince us we're not good enough in some way to fully express ourselves, or to create something that's imperfect and still enjoy it.
The truth is that you have the right to be here, to have your own voice and vision and creative expression. You have a right to collaborate with creativity because you are a living, breathing product of creation itself.
The point here is to declare (to this negative voice) that you're absolutely worthy. Try declaring your intent, whatever it is: I'm a writer. I'm a photographer. I'm a gardener. I don't know exactly what I am yet, but I'm curious enough to find out! Then defend yourself against those negative comments, speaking calmly but firmly on behalf of your worthiness to create.Click To Tweet
28. Remind yourself to choose love. When we let go of fear and instead choose love, we can let go of judgment and stop comparing ourselves to others.
We compare our work to a coworkers' performance, or our art to a revered artists' masterpiece. We may question the validity and importance of our mission, comparing it to what the world would have us aim for. Whatever your current creativity crisis, remind yourself that love is all that really matters.
Whatever you want to do, do it with love. The rest will take care of itself.

Love this, hope to see more.
| nobodez chapter 6 . 4/17/2014
Found this recently. Hope you write more.
| nineteennintytwo chapter 6 . 8/11/2012
This is a really good story and I would love it if it was continued :D You're doing a good job!
| Tenages chapter 2 . 11/6/2011
Your story isn't bad. But on the other hand it bears no real relation to your summary.
The summary implies that it's the logical extrapolation of how the OT would have played out if Luke and Leia switched places. But it just isn't. You make changes that have no basis in anything except for the fact that you think they're cool plot ideas. They don't make sense and they certainly aren't based in any sort of reality of accurate characterization.
For instance why in the hell would Owen let Leia live on her own the city. Not only was he charged to watch her and protect, she's an attractive young women living on a planet populated and run by Hutts and slavers. She's in more danger that Luke ever was. It's freaking ludicrous to have her living in the city on her own. The only reason you did is to make your story "different" and because you think it's cool.
Similary, Luke's behavior on the Tantive 4. His innermost, intrinsic nature is more risktaking and fly by his pants then Leia. But having been raised in the exact same way that she was in the real OT, he somehow comes to the course of action that prevents any bloodshed and defuses Vader's anger? Really? Get real.
I'm not even going to comment on Luke unconsciously using Force lightning. That was just stupid.
| Replica Velocity a.k.a. X5 714 chapter 6 . 10/19/2011
Great story so far.
| shieldmaiden19 chapter 6 . 10/3/2011
This chapter, actually this whole story, is very interesting and quite well-written. I look forward to hearing more from you :)
| Rylee87 chapter 4 . 8/2/2011
Wow, that's interesting. I wonder how things are going to turn out now. Can't wait for the next chapter.
| Enigmaticity chapter 4 . 8/2/2011
plese keep on writing this is really good
| Well chapter 4 . 7/31/2011
Interesting that Vader offered Luke that opportunity first thing. Is Leia going to try to save Luke now? It will be interesting to see if Luke tries to convert Vader[back?]. Good stuff!
| rosesforever294 chapter 3 . 7/30/2011
soooo good! update ASAP!
| Rylee87 chapter 2 . 7/23/2011
This sounds interesting so far. I have always wondered what it would be like if Luke and Leia switched places. Can't wait to read the next chapter _

i like it!

HYDERABAD- In a tragic turn of events, a baby girl lost her life apparently due to sheer negligence of her parents as they refused to give permission for mechanical ventilator.
A video posted on social media by Dr Usman suggested that a baby was brought in a serious condition to his hospital and despite consistent efforts by the doctor, the health of baby continued to deteriorate.
The oxygen saturation level of the baby plummeted following which the doctor contacted the attendant to inform him that the baby needed to be shifted to a hospital with ventilator facility as his own hospital was lacking the facility.
However, despite continuous efforts, the attendant failed to show up at the hospital and apparently, due to the same negligence the baby could not be shifted to hospital and lost her life.
According to reports, the parents wanted to have a boy and they were callously careless about their baby who was a girl.
The furious doctor slammed the critics who blame hospital staff for any sort of mishandling without taking into account, the ignorance and failure committed by parents with special reference to the particular case.

Finn McCool & Brian Boru
Fionn MacCumail (anglicized as Finn McCool) was a famous hunter and warrior from Irish mythology. My ancestry goes directly back to him through his daughter Samair, who married Corman Cas, King of Munster. Corman Cas was a direct paternal ancestor of Brian Bóruma (or Brian Boru) who is often considered as the most famous Irish Ruler, who lived during the 10th and 11th centuries.
I am descended through 3 children of Brian Boru. Richard "Strongbow" de Clare, one of the English Norman leaders that conquered Ireland (whom we will discuss in a later blog) was married to Eva (Aoife) McMurrough, a descendant of Brian Boru through his son Donnchad. Brian had a daughter Slani , who married Sihtric III "Silkbeard", one of the Viking Kings of Dublin, whom we we also discuss in a later blog.
Finn's father Cumhail was the chieftan of the Fianna. He had abducted Muirne, daughter of the druid, Tadg mac Nuadat. Tagd appealed to the High King, Conn of the Hundred Battles, who outlawed Cumhail. After Cumhail was killed, Muirne delivered the boy, Fionn, who was secretly raised by a druidess and a warrior woman, who taught him skills to survive and avenge his father's murder.
When Finn was grown he served under various Irish Kings who sent him away once they knew he who was. Discouraged, he wandered Ireland. At one point he was asked by an old Poet near the river Boyne to catch the Salmon of Knowledge and cook it for him. But during the cooking, Fionn burned his thumb. Instantly he put his thumb in his mouth which imbued the Salmon's wisdom to him. He now knew what was needed to challenge his father's murderer.
Later, after Finn had killed the fire-breathing man of the Sidhe, he became the leader of the Fianna. Finn's wife, Sadhbh, had been turned into a deer by a druid for refusing his love. While hunting, Finn's hounds recognized the deer as human, but when Finn brought the deer home, she turned back into human form. Their famous son, Oisin, also has many legendary stories around him.
There is also a famous legend that as a giant it was Finn who created the Giant's Causeway as stepping stones to Scotland.
Finn is considered legendary. Certainly if he really existed, there are many mythical and legendary stories attributed to him. But a clearly historical figure is Brian Boru, who was first the King of Munster, then subjugated Leinster, and eventually becoming High King of Ireland. He was also the founder of the O'Brien dynasty.
For about 500 years before Brian, the High Kingship was held by the Uí Néill clan. Brian led a political and military struggle to change this. By the year 1002 he had forced Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill, to recognize him as his superior, thus taking over the High Kingship.
The famous Battle of Clontarf (23 April 1014) in which Brian died, is often considered a watershed event in which Brian Boru was able to defeat the Vikings forever. However, this is not historically quite accurate since the Vikings did not control Ireland and the half-dozen earlier Viking settlements had become integrated with the Irish culture. Nevertheless Brian was often depicted as the savior of the Irish, and his death a noble sacrifice.
When the English Normans invaded Ireland in the late 12th century and began the integration of Ireland into the English polity, the High Kingship of Ireland came to an end. The last High King was #184 Ruaidhrí Ó Conchobhair, which has been anglicized as Rory O'Connor. I am not descended directly from Rory, but from two of his great-grandfathers; Toirrdelbach (High King #178), a grandson of Brian Boru and Ruaidri, King of Connaught, his paternal great-grandfather, through a sister of Ruaidrí na Saide Buide, who was married to Diarmait macToirrdelbaig, King of Munster (not shown in the charts, but are in my online genealogy database).
Here are links to some of the key people in my online genealogy database:
- Fionn MacCumail (Finn McCool)
- Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig, High King #175
- Ruaidhrí Ó Conchobhair (Rory O'Connor), High King #184

SINGER DF150G Adjustable Dress Medium
I've always wanted a dress form ever since i took up sewing, but most ones were really expensive so i was very happy to see this one at only 100$ and an adjustable one too! but dont go thinking that just because its cheap in price its cheap in quality, because i dont think so. it gets the job done and well. its easy to adjust and its great because i can pin the fabric on it. also i found that you really dont need 2 people to adjust the hieght. just remove the dress form from the stand and adjust it that way, I've done it and works fine for me. It does tend to go down again (the height adjustment) if you press on it firmly but i think that's only natural.
i also like how i can fit dresses to fit me just perfectly and i dont have to try it on numerous times nor have my boyfriend help pin it for me! and after i fit it using the dress form and try it on myself it fits perfectly. so i would reccomend this to anyone interested in sewing its really useful to have around and will save you some hassle.

One Response to "Yacht Weddings"
I want to take my hobby of sewing to the next level. I would like to buy a dress form. The one I had in mind is a Singer DF150G Adjustable. They have it on amazon for 95 bucks, the cheapest I've seen as far as they go. It says on some "medium" or "large". I think I just need medium. I'm a normal sized 18 year old but I have wider hips than bust. Will it adjust to my size?? What kind of dress for do you have? Tips please!

Chiritta, 56 The Esplanade Peppermint Grove W.A.
[Previous post: Eaton House Thorngate SA ...Next post: Addenbrooke, Bellevue Hill]
- See also Federation Bungalow style
Perth property developer Nigel Satterley is the likely $17.5 million buyer of a Peppermint Grove residence, Chiritta, which dates back to the late 1890s. Chiritta is one of Western Australia's most historic and prestigious homes, and was up for sale for what could be one of the state's highest ever property prices - an estimated $25 million. [1]
- Mr Satterley confirmed the sale on Tuesday. He said the purchase represented "fair value at today's prices".
- Mr Satterley is a one-time Levi Jeans salesman who used his commissions to start buying land. He now operates Satterley Property Group, which has major holdings in WA and Victoria and specialises in master-planned developments.[2]
It is the blue-chip location of Peppermint Grove on the edge of the Swan River which could make it one of the most expensive houses in Perth's history.
Chiritta, an 1896 to 1899-built seven-bedroom house on 4080 square metres is being sold by the founders of Channel 9 Perth, Ann and Denis Cullity.
Located at 56 The Esplanade, the home is set on a 4080-square-metre lot on one of the country's most expensive strips, opposite the Swan River.
- Chiritta, which dates back to the late 1890s, was built by Augustus Roe, the former police magistrate of Western Australia and the son of John Septimus Roe - WA's original surveyor-general and one of the Perth's founding fathers, and sold 52 years ago by the Roe family to the current vendors.[3]
- The couple bought the heritage-listed home 52 years ago from the Roe family – descendants of Perth's first surveyor-general John Septimus Roe, a name strongly associated with Perth.
- The house was designed by turn-of-the-century architect and World War I general J Talbot Hobbs, who also designed the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, Windsor Hotel, St Luke's Rectory and Newspaper House – all in Perth.
- The amazing 4080 square metre property boasts seven bedrooms, including an attic room, six bathrooms and two studies.[4]
It comes with six bathrooms and views over the city and the Swan river.
- It features wide verandahs, high ceilings, arched passageways and french doors.
- According to the listing, the house has been expanded over the past 52 years. It now has grand formal drawing and dining rooms, a study, two offices, a sunroom, a family room, an informal dining room and a five-car garage.

The beginnings of two recent stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine are below in the middle column. You may not know, but EQMM is available on Kindle.
EYE OPENER, the latest Albert Samson novel, was published by Five Star in December, 2004.
Other up-coming, and recent stuff
Latest and forthcoming short stories.
The first ever Albert Samson short story, "The Wilt of Love", was be included in the February 2009 issue of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. Two more Samson stories will come along, probably in 2011. For a link to EQMM go to the upper left hand corner of my Home page.
The story "Death Row" was published in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine in March 2008.
Three of my stories were published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in 2007.
In March EQMM published Wheeze from The IDEAS Experiment, the booklet I describe on my home page.
Then in May there were two short stories, They Never Listen and D'Ya Hear Me. Both feature card playing friends, Garth and Annette, who are fed up with doing nothing in the face of some of their problems. Copies of these stories are available in my story offer.
Two latest short stories about the Lunghi family of private detectives were published in 2006. The Jane Case appeared in April's Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. In it, the Old Man takes up keep-fit by going to the gym at the Bath YMCA. The story was included in the anthology THE BEST BRITISH MYSTERIES IV.
In And Maybe More Salvatore answers a lonely hearts ad - but it's strictly for work, of course. This was in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in the September/October edition.
Copies of these two stories are available in my story offer.
However a new Lunghi short story will appear in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, probably in 2011.
In February Ellery Queen also published the latest Lt. Leroy Powder story, called 911.

I have ps for the past 40 yrs skin and nails. joint paint started on and off 4 yrs ago. the only swelling i had was in right wrist lasted for 2 days with pain and restricted movement for 2 weeks and left wrist inside bone swelled a bit a month later and hasn't gone down with restricted movement and pain. Finger, neck, hips, ankle all are stiff and painful on and off with restricted movement. My rheumy thinks its tendonitis in the swelled painful wrist and the rest is fibromyalgia. I started methotrexate and had second dose and am feeling a little bit of relief already... rheumy said that it couldn't be... its just a placebo affect??? What does that mean? My derm. thinks i do have psa? Any ideas, can you really have psa without swelling... i guess it has to start somewhere before it gets worse. blood tests and xray are negative for any other arthritis.
Responses (2)
Not sure what you mean by PSA if you are female as that is prostrarte specific antigen as far as I know. It sounds like you could have arthritis, or evern carpel tunnel symdrome in your wrists. You could possibly have fibromyalgia, where you are tender around the joints, not in the joints, & it is all over the body. Doesn't usually affect the wrists tho' but the area between the thumb & index finger will be lumpy & sore as all get out! I also don't know what ps around the joints means unless you are referring to pain & swelling. that could indicate several things, such as fibro, arthritis, RA, osteoarthritis etc... You need blood tests done to rule out (it's called an ANA panel)Lupus & other immune diseases too it sounds like. I would go back to your rheumatologist & insist on an ANA panel & a blood test that checks your muscle enzymes & for RA or rheumatoid arthritis if he hasn't done these already. Good luck to you... Mary
Thanks for the reply... Ps is Psoriasis and psa is Psoriatic arthritis. I have had all the blood work done to rule out other diseases. I have had fibro for 20 years but never joint pain like i have been experiencing the past 4 yrs. I feel it is getting worse. Good point you made about fibro not affecting the wrists. Also what is a muscle enzyme test? I don't believe i have ever had that one done and I have had a lot of tests. Looks like something i might be interested in asking my Dr. Is anyone familiar with Psoriasis or Psoriatic Arthritis.
That helps alot! I thought maybe you were a guy! Ha! My hubby has psoraisis & arthritic psoraisis, & he takes Enbrel shots weekly & it helps him out tremendousley. If you have insurance & your immune health is ok, your should be able to try them. They are about $1,200 a month for 4 weekly injections tho' is why I mention insurance. You will have to have a TB test first, & blood work done regularly if you go this route. Good luck. Oh & the muscle enzyme test I had never heard of either, but I saw my rheumatologist last week, & he did one. Don't have the results yet tho' ( I have Lupus)... Mary
There are a number of muscle enzyme tests. I have ck aka cpk to watch for disease progression and effectiveness of my meds. This is used for checking for heart attacks, most commonly. In my case polymyositis. Which is rare.
Hope you can find the culprit. These types of diagnosis are often a series of ruling out one thing after another until they find it. Wishing you wellness. Hang in there.
Hey Karen, my cousin has polymytosis also. Isn't that a kick!
Hey, mary. Kick,in the gut I,would say. The muscle disease? How she doing? Write me, ok? Karen
Placebo is a neutral substance or action that the brain interprets as a fix for whatever you are dealing with. Prayer, meditation, new meds, can easily do this. The pleasure center of the brain releases endorphins and you feel better. Even if you know it is not real, if it works, it works. I told my rheumy that I would be very happy with a placebo.

Continuing on in our series The Three Biggest Mistakes you Can Make with Postural Therapy, today we'll be discussing Mistake #2.
The intent of this series is to help people who have done postural therapy identify, address and correct what I believe are the 3 most common errors made in postural therapy, and help you grow from them.
If you've missed our previous posts on the subject, be sure to get completely caught up by visiting:
2. You did one or two menus with a Posture Alignment Specialist (Egoscue University Certified) and found symptom relief weeks, months (or most often) years ago then stuck with that menu without ever changing it or going back in to finish your postural therapy progression
Admit it. How many of you started the process of postural therapy and did one or two menus, got pain relief and effectively thought "I'm better, I don't need to go back?"
I see a lot of clients who have made this error. It happens all the time.
Because simply, postural therapy WORKS!
Postural Therapy is very successful corrective exercise program that helps people overcome physical pain and limitations. It's attractive because of its simple, yet profoundly common sense apporach to treating the human body as a unit.
When you successfully partner with a Certified PAS who can connect with your learning style, anlyze your postural compensations and joint dysfunctions, and write an effective postural therapy menu, you WILL experience pain relief right away.
You will see and feel positive immediate physical changes as a result of your personal effort in your menus. But, YOU the client have the responsibility of making that happen. And you get to decide at what point you want to follow through to.
And therin, lies the trap. Postural therapy is a PROCESS. It's the process that sometimes get's lost in translation.
At it's core, Postural Therapy is a Results Oriented Program Designed to:
Along your pain relief healing path one of two things happened. Either your Certified Posture Alignment Specialist:
Either way, a mistake was made and you got caught in the chronic pain cycle once again. You effectively did enough menus to alleviate symptoms by partially restoring your posture, but made a classic error of not finishing it to completion.
I can't tell you the number of times I've had clients call and make an appointment a year or more after doing one or two menus. They are surprised, frustrated, disappointed, and sometimes bewildered that pain has returned.
You can imagine how challenging it is when I have to ask clients hard questions like:
In my opinion, the most beautiful thing about postural therapy is that ultimately it's all about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
If an error was made on the end of the Certified PAS, and the process wasn't communicated properly, unfortunately, I can't fix that for you. Because I can't eliminate it as one possibility for error the subject has to be brought up. It is a possibility.
All I can say to this point is that here at Pain Free Posture MN, I diligently work to communicate the Guiding Principles and process of therapy concepts to my own clients. And as an Adjunct Instructor of The Egoscue University, I can tell you that it is a universal component of what we teach and train our seminar students to communicate to their clients.
However, most frequently, the error comes down to the client and his or her personal choices to follow through or not.
As you can see from the list above, the absence of pain is only a small part of the process. If you chose to only do a menu or two because it restored your posture enough to alleviate your physical pain and that was good enough for you, then, what can I say? You're a grown up.
Certified Posture Alignment Specialists go into our profession because we are dedicated to helping our clients achieve a pain free live and living! It's our desire and mission to partner with out clients through to completion of their postural therapy.
Unfortunately, not everyone client follows through. Even the founder of The Egoscue Method has run into this common postural therapy error with his clients. In his most recent book, Pete Egoscue writes:
"My mistake was to regard the absence of pain as the principal requirement. By eliminating pain, I assumed people would continue to eagerly work on recovering their musculoskeletal system to full function because it felt good. I underestimated the power of the thinking mind to remain locked in crisis mode." [Pain Free Living: The Egoscue Method For Strength, Harmony, and Happiness p. 11]
So really the big question is:
"If you started the postural therapy process and only did a menu or two, where and why did you choose to stop progressing on this list?"
Clearly if you've made mistake number two with postural therapy, you can now see that the entire process of postural therapy was not finished to completion. Chronic pain doesn't just happen overnight. It's the accumulation of poor posture, and repetetivie muscular and joint imbalances taken through a lifetime of activities of daily living.
Mistakes happen. It's what you choose to do with what you've learned from it that makes a difference. Call up your Certified PAS and get back at it. I promise your body will thank you!

Lotierzo Looks Back at Crawford vs Diaz – WBC and WBO world 140 pound champion Terence Crawford put on a show this past weekend in taking out a rugged and game Felix Diaz in the main event of Top Rank's boxing card at Madison Square Garden.
Crawford stopped Diaz after ten rounds when the corner decided they were not going to let Diaz come out for the eleventh round. Diaz was 19-1 as a pro and his wide amateur background included an Olympic Gold Medal in 2008. Unfortunately for Diaz he was up against a formidable force in Crawford, who appeared to be operating at the peak of his powers.
Check out highlights and complete results from the evening's fights right here at TBC.
Lotierzo Looks Back at Crawford vs Diaz
In this latest TBC piece we are joined by our veteran analyst Frank Lotierzo to look back at Terence Crawford's performance against Felix Diaz this past weekend.

This dish is often a taboo with many people when they hear what it is. But it's so great that it usually diffuses their hesitations once they've tried it. Sometimes, Robert will tell them it's chicken just to get them to try it at first. Keep in mind that the process takes several hours, can't be done on a whim!
You will need:
1 eel-typically 3-4 pounds
3 cups balsamic vinegar
1 cup sugar
5-7 cloves of garlic
1 cup of flour
6 ½ cups of olive oil
Fresh basil and parsley
How you do it:
Mince/crush garlic cloves and mix with sugar and balsamic vinegar
Bring mixture to a boil and allow it to cook until it's reduced to approx. 2 cups
Remove from heat
Heat 6 cups of olive oil in a Dutch oven
While oil is heating, cut eel into bite-sized chunks
Season eel with salt and pepper
Roll eel in flour
Once oil is ready (can use various methods to check-I use water test) drop 3-4 pieces of eel into oil
After browning (should take approx 5-6 mins) drain on a plate with paper towels
Once all of the eel is done, place in large bowl
Pour reduced vinegar mixture over them to marinate
Refrigerate about an hour before serving
Remove at time of serving and drizzle oil and herbs
Allow to reach room temperature before serving
Buon Appetito!

In the aftermath of our latest disappointing World Cup performance, us Brits have to take solace in some of our finer exports, and for many our nation's ability to produce great music continually appears at the top of that list. Firmly cementing their place in that illustrious history are 10cc – the hugely successful, talented and innovative 70's band primarily consisting of Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme that conjured up mega hits like Dreadlock Holiday, The Things We Do for Love and Rubber Bullets. With their knack for writing great riffs, poignant and often humorous lyrics, experimentation with sound effects and powerful harmonies they are often credited with taking on the mantle from a certain Fab Four following their separation.
The most notable era of the band's brief but significant recording history was between 1972 and 1976, which saw the four original members enjoy enormous popularity with albums such as How Dare You! and classic singles like the sublime I'm Not in Love and the seminal I'm Mandy Fly Me. Following this point in the band's complicated history, writing duo Godley and Crème departed to pursue other interests, primarily directing music videos in the advent of MTV, and were responsible for many iconic promos of the 80's such as The Police's Every Breath You Take and Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Two Tribes. Gouldman & Stewart continued to write, record and perform as 10cc for another 20 years until Stewart also hung up his guitar in 1996.
As a result of these departures, the evolution of the band's line-up is now somewhat reminiscent of David St. Hubbins observation in the film This Is Spinal Tap that '37 people have been in this band over the years', with Gouldman serving as the sole custodian of 10cc from the original line up. However, he is very capably supported by Paul Burgess and Rick Fenn (drummer and guitarist who both joined in the 70's) and more recent recruits Mike Stevens and Mick Wilson (keyboard/percussion/vocals). It's an approach increasingly common to bands with a long history when their studio days may be largely behind them but for whom there is still an insatiable appetite from their loyal fan base to hear more live performances (the successful recent tours of The Beach Boys and Barry Gibb are other examples). It is in this context that 10cc show they still have something to offer. The roll call of hits speak for themselves and it's a joy to see Gouldman compere the event with first hand insights into the creation of the tracks. He has surrounded himself with a talented group of musicians over the years that effectively reproduce the unmistakable sound of the original line up – no mean feat considering the talent involved at the time and highly-produced quality of the original studio recordings.
Ultimately, concerts of this nature are designed as something of a nostalgic look back at the tracks of our youths, and I would gauge that the audience for 10cc in 2014 are largely parents who grew up buying their LPs and their kids (like this reviewer) who recall the tunes on the car stereo on family trips back in the day. But when you have five talented musicians on stage belting out Art For Art's Sake, Good Morning Judge, Life is a Minestrone and a fresh take on Donna with a lively audience singing along, there's nothing wrong with that. 10cc commence their 2014 UK tour at British Summer Time in Hyde Park on Sunday the 13th of July.

New Year's solemn ceremony at Shuri Castle
January 1, 2015 Ryukyu Shimpo
From January 1 to 3, a New Year's ceremony was held at Shurijo Castle Park, Naha. The Chouhaiokishiki, or Imperial Court New Year's morning ceremony, which used to take place at Shuri Castle on New Year's Day during the Ryukyu Dynasty, was demonstrated. Many people watched the ceremony and the king and others wearing extravagant clothing.
Naoki Tada and his family visited Okinawa for the first time. He said, "Our image of Shuri Castle was only Shurei no mon or Shurei gate. But the ceremony was solemn and we felt the depth of the history."
On January 3, the king and queen appeared in the forecourt and Ryukyu traditional dance and music was performed, and tea and amazake were served.

Rome may have fantastic cuisine, enticing cultural events, and more historical sites than you can shake a stick at, but even all that fabulousness can get stale when you combine it with incessant car honking, maniacal traffic, and city grime. You might find yourself longing for something else on your Roman holiday--something that will restore your sanity but won't upheave your precious itinerary. What you need, good signor, is a day trip.
The Eternal City might not have been built in a day, but twenty four hours are all you need to experience some of the best attractions in its outskirts. Here are five great Roman escapes that will make you wish you'd booked more vacation time.
Just twelve miles Southeast of Rome, romantic Frascati is part of the Castelli Romani; a cluster of townships at the foot of the Alban Hills. Frascati is known for its beautiful villas--built by Popes or Roman aristocracy--of which the most famous is Villa Aldobrandini, with its stunning view of the entire town. Stroll through Piazza Marconi, Frascati's main square, or have dinner at one of the antique taverns. Don't even think of leaving Frascati without sampling Frascati DOC, the local white wine, or porchetta; crackly-skinned fatty roast pork stuffed with fragrant rosemary.
Indulge your Sweet Tooth: Antico Forno Molinari, a bakery renowned for its bambola frascatana cookies: crispy treats shaped like a woman with three breasts. Two for milk, one for wine. Presumably Frascati DOC.
Castel Gandolfo
Also part of the Castelli Romani, Castel Gandolfo--with its lakeside view and Papal pedigree--is considered to be one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. It lies fifteen miles Southeast of Rome. Castel Gandolfo is on the coast of Lake Albano and, like many of the towns in the area, boasts impressive villas, including the Pope's summer residence. The town's proximity to Lake Albano makes it ideal for water sports--kayaking and canoeing are popular. Or squeeze in a few rounds of golf; the Castel Gandolfo Country Club offers attractive golf facilities to make your city retreat all the more relaxing.
Where to Eat: Pagnanelli has been serving delicious fare against a panoramic lakeside backdrop since 1882. Nowadays, the restaurant--run by its fourth generation of Pagnanellis--serves creative recipes like gnocchetti con vongole, calamari e tartufo nero , as well as traditional Roman dishes.
Whether your aim is to relive Roman history or to simply take in the tranquil beauty of its architectural treasures, Tivoli is a must-see when you're in the Rome area. Located eighteen miles Northeast of Rome, Tivoli was once the Classical city of Tibur. It features the remains of Ancient Roman resort villas as well as the spectacular 16th century Villa d'Este, a UNESCO heritage site. Also worth checking out in Tivoli are Hadrian's Villa and the Terme di Roma; a spa complex that's just what the doctor ordered for Big City detox.
Insider Tip: The Villa d'Este is open each morning from 8:30 until one hour before sunset, so time your visit carefully.
Ostia Antica
If you've had enough Fine Art to last you a lifetime, consider switching to the Archeaology Department. Ostia Antica--the harbor city of Ancient Rome--is one of the Lazio region's most impeccably preserved archaeological sites. Just eighteen miles West of Rome, Ostia Antica's immense network of ruins are a testament to everyday life in Ancient Rome. Explore the remains of Ancient Roman piazzas, baths, houses, frescoes, mosaics, taverns, Christian chapels, temples, a synagogue, a theater--even a fire brigade. If you've ever wanted to do as the Romans did, Ostia Antica is the place to learn how.
Insider Tip: You'll want to take your time in Ostia Antica, so provisions are a must. There is a restaurant on the excavation site, but it's often packed and isn't especially cost-friendly. Bring a packed lunch with you instead, or stock up on snacks in modern Ostia Antica, just two minutes away.
As chaotic as Rome can be, it's easy to forget that the seashore is only a handful of miles away. Consider visiting Terracina -- thirty six miles from Rome. The Roman Temple of Jove Anxur anchors Terracina's South end while the Circeum Mountain&mdashthe legendary home of the Homeric witch Circe--anchors it on the North. Take a well-deserved dip in the Tyrrhenian Sea and when you've dried off, head up to Terracina Alta; the city's exquisite ancient quarter. Enjoy culinary specialties like spicy boar sausage, syrupy-sweet muscatel wine, and bombe--fried, sugar-coated doughnuts served plain or filled with Nutella or cream.
Insider Tip: Terracina might be lousy with sand and surf, but during Beach Season (May to September) seaside fun comes at a price. The stabilimenti, beach establishments, will charge small fees for beach chairs, umbrellas, and use of the showers. There are a few free stretches of council beach, but they're poorly kept and have no amenities.
