Hong Kong police clashed with democracy protesters early Wednesday as officers cleared a park encampment and a tunnel that demonstrators had blocked on a major road outside the city's government headquarters.
Dozens of demonstrators, mostly university students, were hauled away from the underpass on Lung Wo Road and in nearby Tamar Park as hundreds of police moved in before dawn ahead of the morning commute. Hours earlier, police used sledgehammers and chain saws to clear barricades from Queensway Road, reopening the main artery leading to the central financial district for the first time since the protests began two weeks.
"Absolute chaos reported in Tamar Park; protesters retreating as Hong Kong police advance, making arrests and firing pepper spray," one Twitter user posted to #OccupyHK.
An Agence France-Presse photographer captured an officer spraying the chemical directly into the face of a protester standing with his hands up. A second photo showed the protester with his hands over his eyes as he was led away.
CCTV America reported later Wednesday morning that protesters had reoccupied Lung Wo Road.
Police said they acted because the protesters were disrupting public order and gathering illegally.
Forty-five people — 37 men and 8 women — were arrested during the assault. Four officers were hurt by protesters kicking or hitting them with umbrellas, but none of those arrested were injured, police spokesman Tsui Wai-Hung told local television.
"I have to stress here that even though protesters raised their hands in their air it does not mean it was a peaceful protest," he said.
A video posted to YouTube, however, shows a protester being led away by plainclothes police who then punch and kick him away from the crowd.
Activists continue to occupy encampments in the Admiralty and Mong Kok districts.
The civil disobedience began Sept. 28 to oppose having a pro-Beijing committee screen candidates for the 2017 election for chief executive, the semiautonomous territory's first vote for its top leader.

Pretty much says how I feel today. I'm usually a pretty up person and try to keep my darker feelings to myself so as not to drag anyone else down with me. This past couple days I've had my mind on my sister-in-law /great friend. She was diagnosed with breast cancer after undergoing several tests and frustration of waiting for results and calls from her doctor. Right now I am so proud of her for her positive attitude. I also feel very positive about this whole thing, as we made a pact several years ago when she married my brother. I could never have asked for a better sister-in-law and friend. Prior to her coming into our lives I had to bear the brunt of spending many nights at the bar with my husband and brother. Although I had some great times with them something was missing. Fate brought them together (actually darts, but fate sounds so much more interesting). When I found out she camped and wasn't a whimp things really started shaping up. I was fortunate enough to take the two week trip by car out to Vegas to make sure they really did get married (she wasn't getting out of this), and several other vacations which always end up to be a blast. She has made my brother very happy.
Enough of the mushy stuff. All I can say is that she's going to be okay. Like I said...we had a deal!. Who else it going to tell me I have my shoes on the wrong feet or my lipstick is not on my lips or my sweater is buttoned wrong or my wig is on backwards, when I'm senile. Yeah, that's right Gambino/aka Julie our Cruise Director..it will be you. We love youu!!!

The Australian Open now underway we take an in-depth look at the draw as it's taking shaping, revisit the outright tennis odds to win and determine the best bets to win the quarters.
Australian Open Odds To Win Outright:
When we posted our early preview for the Australian Open a few weeks ago, there were few surprises on the tennis odds board. The usual suspects led the charge at the time: Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Murray completed the top four tennis picks. Two days into the tournament, the so-called Big 4 remain at the vanguard of the Australian Open futures market, albeit reshuffled in order, a happenstance that is down to several factors, namely the draw and form going into the event.
Djokovic remains the top favourite at -110 (bet down from +100) but Roger Federer leap frogs Nadal into second place at +550 (down from +600, largely down to his win in Brisbane a week ago). Rafael Nadal (bet up from +500) and Andy Murray (bet up from +650) are on par at +800, joint third faves for the title.
Other contenders for the title we previewed included Stan Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori, both remaining on their respective +1200 and +1400 tennis odds to win the tournament. The only notable movers in this group are Milos Raonic (bet down from +5000 to +3300) and Grigor Dimitrov (bet up from + 2000 to +4000). The rest of the field remains largely intact, barely moving on the tennis odds board.
1st Quarter: Djokovic and Raonic
Head-to-head: Djokovic leads 4-0
The first quarter of the draw has lumped World No.1 Novak Djokovic and Canadian No.1 Milos Raonic together. On paper, this is one of the tougher sections not only on the strength of this pair but also on the mix of players contained within. Predictably, Djokovic has the quarter firmly cornered in his camp on -500 tennis odds. His path to the quarterfinals is not straightforward by any stretch of the imagination, but the only perceivable threat to him reaching the last 8 and a date with Raonic (+600 to win the quarter) is John Isner. The big-serving American John Isner (+2500 to win the quarter) would be a R16 opponent if all goes to script. On the other side of the quarter, Raonic could face a few more credible challengers to his bid for a quarterfinal berth, including Aussie's own Lleyton Hewitt (+8000 to win the quarter) and dangerous floaters Jerzy Janowicz or Gael Monfils (the latter of which is priced at +1400 to win the quarter).
1st Quarterfinal Matchup Verdict and Pick: If all goes to script, we should have a quarterfinal between Djokovic and Raonic. Raonic made great strides last season and at the start of this season (finalist to Federer in Brisbane), but he's yet to get a signature win over a top player at such a prestigious event. Should it come down to this pair, betting against Djokovic just doesn't go down well on our tennis picks.
Top Tennis Pick: Djokovic at -500 to win quarter.
Dark horse players to Spot: Raonic +600, Isner +2500 and Monfils +1400
2nd Quarter: Wawrinka and Nishikori
Head-to-head: Wawrinka Leads 2-1
To many tennis experts, the second quarter is wide open even though it contains the defending champion Stanislas Wawrinka. The Swiss has only ever won one major in his career and rather late in said career. The idea that he would repeat as champion is wildly optimistic, particularly as he doesn't have an impressive track record of success when it comes to defending any title. That sentiment is echoed in the rather tight tennis betting landscape between the three legitimate contenders contained within the 2nd quarter: Wawrinka at +110, Nishikori at +163 and Ferrer at +400 (Odds To Win the Quarter). Adding to the dilemma this section presents handicapping is the well-balanced mix of players also in this section and that includes several dangerous floaters, mainly Gilles Simon, Jarkko Nieminen, Ivan Dodig, Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and Vasek Pospil, players that could shake up the draw in the early goings.
2nd Quarterfinal Matchup Verdict and Pick: We've gone back and forth on this quarter, not unlike a tennis rally. In a perfect world, we'd have a Wawrinka vs. Nishikori showdown. Wawrinka's corner is the lightest of this section with only up-and-coming Vasek Pospisil coming across as a realistic threat in his path, which means he should at least reach the quarters. Then again, he can blow hot and cold from time to time, at which point he's beatable by just about anybody in his corner. Nishikori will need to do a lot of hard graft to reach the quarters if he comes up against either Simon or Ferrer in the R16; neither veteran is going to make it easy for the Japanese star.
Top Tennis Pick: Nishikori to win Quarter at +163
Dark Horse Players To Spot: Ferrer +400, Simon +2500 and/or Pospisil +1800

3rd Quarter: Nadal and Berdych
Head-to-head: Nadal Leads 18-3
The third quarter of the draw is one of the toughest of the entire 2015 Australian Open with both Nadal and Berdych flanking opposing ends. It's also the one garnering most attention. The Spaniard (matched at +800 to win it all) was a finalist last year, but an injury-strewn second half of 2014 has taken the shine off his chances to reach a second straight final. It remains to be seen how well Nadal plays, but he's off to an auspiciou start to his campaign Down Under.
Nadal's path could go through Lukas Rosol in the third round and Richard Gasquet or Kevin Anderson in the R16. Nevertheless, he's the fave at -138 to win this quarter. Tomas Berdych's section is a lot tougher in some respects with Jurgen Melzer coming up next, a resurgent Victor Troicki as a potential third round against either Kohlschreiber or one of several Aussie hopefuls from Tomic, Groth to Kokkinais. Berdych has his work cut out for him to reach the last 8, never mind win the quarter at +225 tennis odds.
3rd Quarterfinal Matchup Verdict and Pick: Indeed, there are minefields everywhere, prompting this section to be dubbed the 'group of death' in the eyes of many tennis betting fans. Nevertheless, Nadal is the popular tennis pick at -138 to win this section. It's absurd to go against him when he's one of the most consistent performers at this level. If Nadal reaches the quarterfinals, he'll be tough to beat.
Top Tennis Pick: Nadal -138 to win Quarter
Dangerous Floaters To Spot: Everybody and Anybody.
4th Quarter: Federer and Murray
Head-to-head: Federer leads 12-11
Finally, the fourth quarter looms as the toughest sections with two of the top 4 favourites for the title flanking either side, and a whole slew of up-and-comers, contenders and veterans thrown into the mix. In Federer's immediate section, veterans Andreas Seppi, Jeremy Chardy and Ivo Karlovic (to name a few) loom as well as Aussie rising star Nick Kyrgios. The biggest threat looms in Andy Murray's direct path to the quarterfinals though: Grigor Dimitrov as a potential R16 challenger. Others in his section that deserve a mention are David Goffin (another up-and-comer), Martin Klizan and Marcos Baghdatis, all capable of shaking up the draw in the early goings.
4th Quarterfinal Matchup Verdict and Pick: Tennis purists are gagging after a Murray-Federer showdown in the quarterfinals. It's one of the better rivalries in today's game. Bookies favour Federer at -138 to win the quarter while matching Murray at tempting +188 tennis futures. Should it come down to this pair, it's anybody's guess.
Top Tennis Pick: Federer -138 to win Quarter
Dangerous Floaters To Spot: Murray +188, Dimitrov +650

16 people tested this for a BBC program. They were divided into two groups. The first group carried on as before. The second group had dinner 90 minutes earlier than usual, and breakfast 90 minutes later. No snacks were allowed in between.
The group that restricted their mealtimes not surprisingly lost weight and improved their health markers, due to essentially doing a brief daily intermittent fast.

Impacts of Land-Use/Land-Cover Change and Climate Change on the Regional Climate in the Central Vietnam
Nowadays, it is widely accepted that both elevated greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration as well as land-use/land-cover change (LULCC) can influence the regional climate dynamics. It is a matter of fact that changes in the land use/land cover are often ignored in long-term regional climate projections . Even worse, often an outdated (RCM default) LU map is applied for modeling. In the framework of the LUCCi project, we applied the Weather Research and Forecasting Model WRF in combination with an updated LULC map to study (1) the impacts of an improved and updated Land-Use Land-Cover map on the regional climate in the VuGia-ThuBon basin in Central Vietnam ; (2) the impacts separately of both the changed LU map and climate change (CC) on the regional climate; and (3) the sensitivity of land-use conversions in WRF simulations . It is found that the impacts of the outdated LU map exceed those of climate change, at least for the period 2001–2030. In addition, the deforestation scenario does not provide statistically significant signals of the most crucial surface climate variables, whereas the urbanization scenario provides evidence for a temperature signal (temperature increase) over the converted area, but no clear signal for precipitation is found.

I recall his name as a writer in globalvoicesonline Indonesia. I visited global voices online as I was told about it by Dina, one of my facilitator in Asia Source 2, the queen of blogging. Actually I inted to join it, but I still haven't got any kicking reports about Indonesia to be told in the site. Soon, I'll be there.

In the pilot's seat
In the past 19 years at least 150,000 people have passed through the Queensland Air Museum doors and there is a good chance at least half of them have been greeted by Mick Hinsbey.
The spritely 63-year-old has spent a good part of the past two decades volunteering at the Caloundra-based museum.
Not a day goes by when Mr Hinsbey can't be found welcoming visitors or tinkering about in his position as display officer.
If someone's got an aviation question then Mr Hinsbey's the man to seek out. So, it's a good thing that the Caloundra resident will be on hand at the Open Cockpit Weekend which will be held on July 5 and 6.
The annual event gives visitors the rare chance to climb into the pilot's seat of aircraft. Mr Hinsbey said the Spitfire, which had been used in World War II by the RAAF 79 Squadron, was not to be missed.
QAM president Cliff Robinson said the museum boasted 43 aircraft and it was likely a Royal Australian Navy 723 Squadron Squirrel Helicopter would also be featured at the event.
The QAM open cockpit weekend will be held July 5-6 from 10am to 4pm at Caloundra Airport, Caloundra Road. Cost: Adults $9, children $6, concession $7, family $22

Endangered Democracy AND Social Capital?
After watching this issue go from public outcry to non-existent this documentary begs the question:
Is our Democracy and the Social Capital needed to secure it endangered?
Hacking Democracy
This cautionary documentary exposes the vulnerability of computers - which count approximately 80% of America's votes in county, state and federal elections - suggesting that if our votes aren't safe, then our democracy isn't safe either.
Electronic voting machines count about 87% of the votes cast in America today. But are they reliable? Are they safe from tampering? From a current congressional hearing to persistent media reports that suggest misuse of data and even outright fraud, concerns over the integrity of electronic voting are growing by the day. And if the voting process is not secure, neither is America's democracy. The timely, cautionary documentary HACKING DEMOCRACY exposes gaping holes in the security of America's electronic voting system.
In the 2000 presidential election, an electronic voting machine recorded minus 16,022 votes for Al Gore in Volusia County, Fla. While fraud was never proven, the faulty tally alerted computer scientists, politicians and everyday citizens to the very real possibility of computer hacking during elections.
In 2002, Seattle grandmother and writer Bev Harris asked officials in her county why they had acquired electronic touch screen systems for their elections. Unsatisfied with their explanation, she set out to learn about electronic voting machines on her own. In the course of her research, which unearthed hundreds of reported incidents of mishandled voting information, Harris stumbled across an "online library" of the Diebold Corporation, discovering a treasure trove of information about the inner-workings of the company's voting system.

China is a very old civilization. It traces a rich lineage of art from olden times. Art from this ancient period is referred to as primitive art. Primitive art of China was dominated by symbolism. The Chinese carried symbolic art to perfection. The art was rich and profound and laid stress on decoration. It also had a distinct philosophical and artistic spirit. Another aspect of Chinese art is symmetry. In Chinese art this means that all parts of a thing must correspond exactly to each other.
Ancient Chinese art is traced to pottery during the Shang dynasty which ruled from 1600BC. This is the period that is recognized as the time when the first oriental civilization appeared. The Shang and later the Yin dynasty ruled up to 1050 BC. This period is generally considered as an ancient period in Chinese history. One of the hallmarks of ancient Chinese art is colored pottery. The provinces of Gansu and Qinghai have contributed more colored pottery wares than any other place.
China made remarkable progress in porcelain manufacturing during the Song dynasty (960-1279). Sites of ancient kilns have been found in 170 counties or cities throughout the country. In the Song dynasty there were five kinds of famous porcelain wares manufactured. They were
a) Ding made in Quyanf county. These wares were glazed vessels of regular shape. The patterns on them included flowers, animals and birds, swimming fish and children
b) Ru ware made in Baofeng county. These wares are thick, green colored and bright
c) Jun wares made in Yuxian county in Henan province. Such pottery is bright with a yellowish glow. They also have motifs like floating clouds and running streams.
d) Ge wares are from Longquan County, Zhejiang. Ge ware feature crackles of varying sizes on the vessel's surface. These crackles were intentional and later became an art form.
e) Guan ware from Kaifeng and Hangzhou. The Guan ware used china clay mixed with iron. This gave the product a thick glaze and ended with a finish that resembled fine greenish-white jade.
A large number of porcelain kilns were established during the Song dynasty, of which the most representative were the kilns for making Cizhou ware in north China
Another aspect of Chinese primitive art is the folk dances. The early Chinese folk dances were essentially ritual enactments of superstitious beliefs. Thus dances were performed in the hope of a good harvest or in the hope of a good hunt.
Another Shang Art form is Jade Carvings. This is a product peculiar to China. Chinese created circular discs which had carved images of curling dragons, fish, tigers, birds, bovine creatures, and a variety of geometric patterns. The jade carvings of the Shang Dynasty are without parallel in terms of artistry & quality.
Chinese art, like Chinese literature is among the most ancient in the world. One of the oldest and most basic forms of Chinese art is calligraphy, the painting of the Chinese characters with a brush. Chinese calligraphy laid stress on simplicity and economy. In this the artist seeks to express harmony with the natural surroundings
Lastly during the Shang Dynasty burials were decorated with fancy bronze ware, stoneware, bone hairpins, weapons, and carved jade items. The over riding belief was that these items would be used in the next life. Numerous treasures of the Shang Dynasty have been excavated since 1950.

Superb discussion of art history.
Thank you Micheal for your comment
Every country has its own direction in art. The dissertation editing can be useful in comparison some of them.


text: Woke up with no specific plans for today. It was beautiful outside this morning and cool. Hiker loves to ride in the car and since she didn't get to go with me up to Vasquez yesterday, I decided to take her for a morning drive. Didn't really go anywhere special, just drove around and enjoyed the scenery. Came home and mopped my kitchen floor and then just basically spent the rest of the day watching TV. Just felt like a "do nothing day", so that's what I did. My thermometer on the patio said it was 85° but it felt a lot hotter than that. They say we are going to be in the 100's Saturday. Have our dog walk/play date with Jean tomorrow. I have to check with her to see if she can take me to my ophthalmologist on July 19th. They just called and said he wants to see me then and take more pictures of the inside of my eye.

"Jiahee~ Let's not cook for today? Feels like going out for eat. What say you?" Dahyun is making the most innocent face that she can to make Jiahee agree with her.
"What's wrong? This bride-to-be don't wanna practice today?" Jiahee teased her. Dahyun's pouting followed by laughs from Jiahee. "Okay dear, if it is for you then it'll always be okay." Dahyun's taken aback. That is what Joon always said to her. And how did Jiahee knows?
"Ya, did you date Joonie?" Dahyun looks suspiciously into Jiahee's eyes. "Wae? Jealous?" Jiahee played with her.
"Ohhhh~ Please don't babe. You know how much I love both of you" Jiahee's giggled. "Don't worry babe, I've just overheard what Joon said to you that day. So do you wanna go out or not? Go get change!"
After having their meals and walking around the shopping complex, both of them walked out of the mall to the parking space. Jiahee suddenly stopped.
"Ya, did you tell Joon that we're going out together?"
"No, why?"
"I'm just worried that he will come to our house and when he see nobody there, then I will be the one he investigated for."
Dahyun laughs. "Don't worry, I hope he wouldn't call until we arrived home."
They continue walking to the car until..
"I'm not joking now" Dahyun can spot that Jiahee's voice seems panicked.
"What's wrong?"
"Molla, I couldn't start the engine."
"Let's see what's wrong first." Dahyun suggested and both of them get off the car.
"So, I need to call Joon now?" Dahyun hesitated. Jiahee looks at her, she's nodding in force. But then, "Dahyun? Jiahee?" a guy called them from behind.
"Seungho-shi?" Jiahee and Dahyun said in unison.
"Please drop the –shi thing and just comfortably call me Seungho. So, what's wrong?" Seungho comes closer.
"I don't know but suddenly the engine cannot be started." Jiahee replied.
"Seungho-ah, don't you wanna introduce me here?" his friend patted his shoulder.
"Ah, ye. This is my housemate, G.o."
"Ok ladies. Just leave this guy here. He really is good in things like this. Come have a drink while he is doing his work." G.o really is talkative. How could he be so warm even with the person that he just knows for about 5 minutes? But that is just to reduce the nervousness and panic in both of the girls feeling.
Seungho can't stay still. He comes to both of them and drag g.o with him to see the problem. "I'm sorry on his behalf. Just make yourselves comfortable and ignore this guy." Seungho said to them both in low tone but still can be heard by G.O.
"Ya! Talking bad on me?" G.O comes with his "serious" face. Dahyun and Jiahee laughs seeing both of them. "See! I've made them live again!" G.o proud of himself to reduce the nervousness and stressful looks in Jiahee's face and Seungho just let him be while he continue with his work.
"I'm done!" Seungho shouted. Dahyun quickly stands up.
"Looks like you're in rush to go home?" Seungho asked. "No, it's just.. I need to go back early." Lucky that she still can control her words. The truth is she worried that Joon will call her and asked where she is. "We have Cinderella here. She needs to return home before dinner time or else she will be in trouble." Jiahee teased. Dahyun hit her lightly. Seungho just nodded, seems like he understands why.
"So, Jiahee-shi, you owe us a dinner rite?" G.O said without hesitation. Seungho pushed him after seeing Jiahee is in shocked. "No, mind this guy. I don't want any paid."
Jiahee and Dahyun burst in laugh, "Yes if you do G.O-shi. Let's have dinner together someday."
That might be a simple thanks from Jiahee but it means a lot to the guys.
Monday, January 2012.
Dear diary,
My first day on this semester went not as smooth as I wanted to but yeah, can I said that its better than what I've planned? Meeting him in person just boost my confident level to be close to him more. Can't wait to see him again!
"Hyunie, have you seen my phone?"
"Nope. Wae?"
"I think I've misplaced it. Can you dial my number to check it?"
Dahyun calls Jiahee number but no replies. "Have you check it in your car?"
"I do, but nowhere to be found. I think I've lost it somewhere."
"Wait, I'll try call it again. You go check if you hear the ringtone."
While searching in her room, Jiahee's disrupted by Dahyun's voice. "Hee-ah! Come here quickly!" Someone is answering the phone.
"Yeobseyo?" Dahyun greet carefully.
"Yeobseyo. Dahyun-shi?" a guy's voice shocked them.
"Ne. And who are you?"
"It's me. Seungho. This belongs to Jiahee rite?"
"Ah~ Thank God its you. So let's meet up somewhere?" Dahyun suggested.
"No, how can Cinderella be out at time like this. She would be in trouble rite?" Seungho teased her. Feels like something is hitting her head.
"Stop bringing up that thing oppa." Jiahee's eyes widen and Dahyun covers her mouth after realizing that she just called him "oppa". That word just slipped out her mouth. She didn't usually called someone as oppa when they're still awkward with each other. And at the other end, he's amazed too. But he acts like he didn't care.
"Don't worry, I'll make a delivery to your house. Just give me the address. And.. can I save your phone number Dahyun-shi?" there is hesitation in his voice even he already tried his best to hide his nervousness.
Dahyun's heart skipped a beat. "Ne. It is easier for you to call me to find a way to our house." She arranged her words carefully to not making her excitement become so obvious.
"Ok, see you then. I'm hanging up now." Seungho ends the conversation.
"So, how about Lee Joon oppa?" Jiahee suddenly talked. "Stop teasing me!!" Dahyun chased Jiahee around the house.
'Knock Knock'
"Go open the door. Your Seungho oppa sure is quick." Jiahee ordered Dahyun. "Wae? Why me? Its your phone so you should go open the door." Dahyun replied as she don't wanna missed her favourite tv program. "Aigoo this girl. It would be awkward if I welcomed him. So pleaseeee Dahyunie~" Jiahee pleading.
She actually see how happy Dahyun is when he asked to save her phone number just now and she just wanna gave some time for her to get to know him.
"Aish. Arasso. I will go. Just stay here silently." Dahyun gives up and opened the door. But its not Seungho who's waiting outside. It is "Joonie?"
"Surprise! You didn't cook tonight rite? I know you because today is the first working day in this year. And I've made something for us to eat together."
Dahyun still froze, why he must come here tonight. Why among all of the day, today is the day that Jiahee's phone gone missing. Why must today she ask Jiahee to eat out.
"Don't you wanna let me in?" Joon asked sweetly. "Ah, ne.. Come in. Why don't you call me first?"
"Wae? Didn't I said that this is a surprise? It wouldn't be surprise anymore if I call you first rite?" Joon pinched Dahyun's cheek.
A little later, Dahyun's phone ringing. "Yeobseyo? Ne, Seungho-shi.."
To be continued..

In this chapter we are documenting the doctrine of Black Masonry as it was taught by 33? Mason, C.W. Leadbeater. Not only was Leadbeater a prominent Mason, he also was an influential Theosophist and worked closely on many projects with the head of Theosophy, Annie Bessant. Leadbeater, according to some sources was a homosexual pedophile. According to Leadbeater, Black Masonry is degrees 19 through 30 in the Scottish Rite and are known as the Council of KADOSH. In the following quotes, "Knight K. H." is the Masonic abbreviation for Knight Kadosh. In the following quote from Leadbeater's book, Ancient Mystic Rites, he defines the scope of Black Masonry and talks about its relationship to evil, suffering and vengeance.
Few indeed of our Egyptian brethren appear to have passed beyond the Rose-Croix, for only the few needed anything further than the splendid revelation of the indwelling Love of God which they received in what we call the Eighteenth Degree. But for those few who felt that there was yet more to learn of the nature of God, and who eagerly wished to understand the meaning of evil and suffering and its relation to the divine plan, the prototype of our Black Masonry existed, the teaching and progress comprised in our degrees from the nineteenth to the thirtieth. This section of the Mysteries was especially concerned with the working out o f Karma in its different aspects, studied as a low of retribution, from one point of view dark and terrible. This is the inner kernel of truth lying behind the vengeance-elements in the degree of Knight K.H.
Albert Mackey in his Encyclopedia of Freemasonry gives the doctrine of the Masonic Kadosh system. Kadosh doctrine centers around the story of the execution of Jacques de Molay by the Pope and the King of France for satanic crimes. Jacques de Molay was the last head of the Knights Templar and Mackey contends that the Templars continue on in Freemasonry.
The doctrines of the Kadosh system is that the persecutions of the Knights Templar by Philip the Fair of France and Pope Clement V, however cruel and sanguinary in its results, did not extinguish the Order, but it continued to exist under the forms of Freemasonry. That the ancient Templars are the modern Kadoshes and that the Builder at the Temple of Solomon is now replaced by Jacques de Molay, the martyred Grand Master of the Templars, the assassins being represented by the King of France, the Pope, and Naffodei, the informer against the Order.
In his book, The Occult Conspiracy, Michael Howard lists the charges against the Knights templar that stemmed from the October raid on their headquarters in Paris in the year, 1307 A.D.
Specifically the Templars were accused of denying the tenets of the Christian faith, spitting or urinating on the crucifix during secret rites of initiation, worshipping a skull or head called Baphomet in a dark cave, anointing it with blood or fat of unbaptized babies, worshipping the Devil in the shape of a black cat and committing acts of sodomy and bestiality..
Candidates entering the Order also had to kiss their initiator on the mouth, the navel, the penis, and at "the base of the spine." These kisses were regarded by critics of the Order as proof of their perverted sexual activities, but in the occult tradition, the navel, sexual organs and the perineum are the physical locations of the psychic centres of the human body, known in the East as chakras.
Freemasons today will argue that de Molay was not a Satanist and will rigorously defend his character, mainly because the Masonic organization for young boys is named after de Molay. This Masonic argument contradicts the facts and de Molay stand in history as a man executed for satanic crimes. British historian Nesta H. Webster talks about the convincing evidence against the Knights Templar:
Moreover, do the confessions of the Knights appear to be the outcome of pure imagination such as men under the influence of torture might devise? It is certainly difficult to believe that the accounts of the ceremony of initiation given in detail by men in different countries, all closely resembling each other, yet related in different phraseology, could be pure inventions. Had the victims been driven to invent they would surely have contradicted each other, have cried out in their agony that all kinds of wild and fantastic rites had taken place in order to satisfy the demands of their interlocutors. But no, each appears to be describing the same ceremony more or less completely, with characteristic touches that indicate the personality of the speaker, and in the main all the stories tally.
The Masonic defense that the confessions of the Knights Templar were extracted under torture is false. While it is true that torture was used in France, torture was not used in Italy and England and the confessions were identical. Leadbeater explains how the Templars went to Scotland and mingled their doctrine with other occult sources and the Egyptian mysteries to create the Black Masonry of the Scottish Rite.
Certain of the French Knights Templar took refuge with their brethren of the Temple in Scotland, and in that country their traditions became mingled to some extend with the ancient Celtic rites of Heredom, thus forming one of the sources from which the Scottish Rite was later to be evolved. Traditions of vengeance upon the execrable King and Pope and the Traitor passed down throughout the ages, and were interwoven with the Egyptian tradition corresponding to our Black Masonry, culminating in what we now call the 30?.
This is confirmed by Masonic authority, Albert Pike, who honors Jacques de Molay as the founder of the Scottish Rite.
The end of the drama is well known, and how Jacques de Molai and his fellows perished in the flames. But before his execution, the Chief of the doomed Order organized and instituted what afterward came to be called the Occult, Hermetic, or Scottish Masonry." In the gloom of his prison, the Grand Master created four Metropolitan Lodges, at Naples for the East, at Edinburgh for the West, at Stockholm for the North, and at Paris for the South. (The initials of his name, J.B.M., found in the same order in the first three degrees are but one of the many internal and cogent proofs that such was the origin of modern Free Masonry.") The legend of Osiris was revised and adopted as the central theme of the third degree ritual, to symbolize the destruction of the Order, and the resurrection of Khurum, slain in the body of the Temple.
Once again Leadbeater stresses that Karma or revenge is the main element of Black Masonry.
The whole of what we now call Black Masonry led up to an explanation of karma as divine justice, this having been preserved for us in shadow in what is now called the 31?, that of the Grand Inspector Inquisitor commander, whose symbol is a pair of scales. In Egypt this pair of scales was taken as an emblem of the perfect balance of d divine justice, the aspirant learnt that all the evil and horror associated with the working out of karma was indeed based on perfect justice, although it had appeared as evil to the lesser vision of the profane.
What was the revenge that was taken in the death of convicted Satanist Jacques Molay? According to former Grand Commander Albert Pike, it was the death of the Pope, the King and the informer against the Order.
Thus the first stage of the higher instruction, that of the Rose-Croix or Red Masonry, was devoted to the knowledge of good, while the second stage, that of K.H. or Black Masonry, was devoted to the knowledge of evil.
The frightening thing about Freemasonry is that any interpretation can be given to Masonic ritual and symbols that does not violate basic Masonic landmarks. As the Mason is encouraged to seek the deeper understanding of the Masonic symbols, this leaves a huge door open to plunge deeper into the occult. This has been used for hundreds of years to develop their own system of satanic teaching.

I think kids in the '70s were probably vandalising bus shelters too ! I have vague memories of a Frankenstein kit but I must have seen it advertised on TV because I'm sure I didn't own one. For me it was mainly Airfix stuff like battleships and planes and I definitely had a model of the 1976 Mars Viking lander. I also had model kits of R2D2 from Star Wars as well as a TIE fighter and X fighter from that film. If you haven't assembled your models by now you probably never will, Kid !

I'm sure some did, but not as many. In my day, local shops didn't need metal shutters to protect the windows. Nowadays, after closing hours, every row of neighbourhood shops looks like a fortress. Proof that vandalism has increased from when I was a boy. Don't you worry, CJ - I'll get them built - it's finding space to display them that's going to be a problem.

EAST CLEVELAND-- Another family receives dreaded news as the second victim of an alleged serial killer is identified.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner has identified the body as that of Shetisha Sheeley, 28, of Cleveland.
Out of respect for the family, we are not identifying the third victim, until officials release the woman's name to us.
Flanked by East Cleveland police officers, murder suspect Michael Madison, 35, was put into a police cruiser to be transferred to the Cuyahoga County Jail.
"We are still searching. We are pursuing every lead. The goal is to leave no stone unturned. We hope and pray that we do not find anything else," said East Cleveland mayor Gary Norton, Jr., during a Tuesday news conference.
"It's not to say that there is more. It's not to say that that's it, but until we're sure and it's gonna be hard for us to be sure unless he says something," said East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts.
The bodies of three women were found Friday and Saturday near Madison's apartment, near Hayden and Shaw Avenues.
Sheeley was found in a field, the other two in a garage and vacant home. The first victim was identified Monday as 38-year-old Angela Deskins.
Madison is charged with three counts of aggravated murder and three counts of kidnapping.
"She was a very trusting person, entrusted herself to someone who had the worst of intentions," Norton told reporters.
Mayor Norton says Deskins' death has become personal for him. "I've been a friend of their family for 15 years, went to school with family members and I know that that family; the Deskins family is a very prominent family, business owners, entrepreneurs," Norton said.
"With regard to causes of death, I would expect something within the next few days in that regard, but at the present time we're still not able to release that right now," said Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Gilson.
Chief Spotts says investigators are also trying to determine if Madison is connected to any other homicides, including several in the area of East 93rd Street in Cleveland.
"We're working with Cleveland and the FBI every day and we're not leaving anything to chance, it's only certain types of individuals that would commit those types of crimes," Spotts said.
When asked whether he was a fan of convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell, Madison told reporters that he wasn't a fan of anyone.
Meanwhile, sources say the East Cleveland case has led investigators to Richland County, where they may possibly be looking for evidence or at some older cases that may link to suspected killer Michael Madison.
East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts says investigators are still trying to determine where Madison met the victims, and where exactly they were killed.
"We are not leaving anything to chance," said Spotts. "There are only certain individuals that would commit these type of crimes and the fact there have been so many missing people in the area, we have to follow up on every lead and everyone known to associate with him."

i'm finally gettin' my mommy groove back. well...technically...my "in general" groove back.
this weekend was just what the doctor ordered.
friday...i was reunited with one of my favoritest friends. she busted on over and knocked on the door and peaked in the windows and called me until i let her in. (i was taking a little power snooze)
you know you've got a good friend when they are willing to do all that!
so, we watched the baby girls play, had dr. peppers, and talked until the bigs got home from school. chad picked up our kids and hers, as well...so we didn't even have to get in the car ride line. and bonus...i didn't have to get out of my sweat pant uniform.
friday night, we resumed family movie night with soul surfer. good flick. aiden was somewhat disturbed when the shark bit off the girl's arm...but other than that...everyone loved the story. and it's a true story. which always makes a story better.
chad decided that it was time to change the baby bed to a toddler bed over the holiday.
let me just tell you of the water works that started.
oh...they were fine.
i wasn't.
i kept telling him that she wasn't ready for that and that it wasn't time, etc. etc. etc.
but he kept saying...yes she is.
so, as he got his tools and summoned all the kids to help with the milestone transformation, i held my hand up and said,
"i need a minute."
i went in the nursery, closed the door, sat on the floor by the bed that had kept all four of my sleeping babies over the last 11 years, and cried.
i cried because i missed all of them as babies. i cried because of how fast they were growing up. i cried because i still thought of the puddin cup as my baby and if she was ready for a toddler bed...then she wasn't technically a baby anymore. and most of all...i grieved because of the fact that any time we had changed the baby bed to a toddler bed in the past...i had the comfort that, in the near future, it would be a baby bed again...because there was no question in my mind that we would be bringing home another, tiny baby love that was going to sleep in it for another several years.
and this time...
i didn't have that.
this time...
may be the last.
and i just wasn't ready to accept that.
chad was right.
my baby was ready.
and the only thing that got me through that day was the hope that we would bring another baby home that would sleep in that baby bed. it probably wouldn't be from the hospital...but we would be bringing her home, none-the-less. and that baby bed would keep our fifth baby love.
organization happened this weekend...which is always joy provoking.
i went through all of their school work from the first semester and threw away the busy work, filed away the keepers, and got their cubbies ready for the second half of the year.
i found this little gem.
aiden had written what she was thankful for.
she is thankful for food, so we don't have to starve. she is thankful for clothes. she is thankful for school so she can learn. she is thankful for people so we can live. she is thankful for love.
saturday morning, we sat around the table and had blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes. and later that evening, colt had his first basketball game of the season. he played point. during half time...chase, aiden, and annslee all got to go out on the court and shoot to win a free snack from the snack bar. chase sunk his first shot and opted for a push pop. aiden made her basket (they let her shoot a few times) and landed on a push pop as well. they let me lift aj up to the basket and she made her's on her first try...causing quite a few cheers from the crowd...and then inhaled an entire bag of m&m's.
other fun things...
pizza and the texan's playoff win with family.
home church on sunday morning.
a rockin' meal plan.
great finds at aeropostal. (i totally caved and endulged in, not just 1...but 2 pairs of sweat pants.)
an impromptu buy for aiden at the children's place.
wearing my jeans instead of sweats.
putting on make up. (i still haven't done my hair in a while...but we are going to consider the make up a win.)
grocery shopping alone.
face timing with my nieces in iowa because sweet aubree had finally saved enough money to purchase her very own ipod touch. (i may or may not have donned a rapunzel wig.)
ending a perfect weekend in the warmth and comfort of our home with 5 of my favorite people on earth.
happy monday.
and here's to gettin' my groove back.

I had tears running down my cheeks tonight. I wanted to stand, to raise my hands in praise, but it was a little weird: I was surrounded by thousands, sitting in a large theatre in Austin, listening to a raucous rendition of O Holy Night, played by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The music was pounding, accompanied by TSO's trademark fire and light show.
Not the typically reverent situation in which to find myself in the throne room of God, and yet his Spirit gripped me and I was overcome.
"Long lay the world, in sin and error pining…." Oh, yes, Lord. I once was lost.
"'Til He appeared, and the soul felt its worth." And now I'm found.
My soul feels its worth every single day, simply because you appeared. Had you not come, I would never have experienced real love. I wouldn't understand the meaning of grace. I couldn't feel genuine compassion, nor could I long for true justice. Because you appeared, my soul feels its worth, and I transcend the ugliness of a world that often turns my stomach and brings me to tears.
Because my soul feels its worth, I am a new creature…a transcendent creature. I am alive, and I yearn to be better in every dimension. Because I feel my worth, I long to transcend my petty concerns, my first-world problems, my lack of authenticity. My soul feels its worth, and that feeling–deeper than anything I can experience in the earthly realm–goads me to goodness, to seeing the worth in every other soul.
Because my soul feels its worth, I must transcend the vile self-talk that mocks my value and opposes your word. I must reject any thinking, speaking, or acting that denigrates the worth of another human soul.
"A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices…." I am so weary when I am apart from your will, Father. Yet when I remember that you appeared, I feel that thrill of hope, and weariness is banished.
"…for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn." Thank God for that morning of hope.
"Fall on your knees…."
Oh, Father. Let this blessed season find me on my knees, pleading for your will in my life, in my family, and in my country. Let me remember to acknowledge the worth of every soul–to see through your holy eyes, to sincerely and profoundly recognize the transcendent blessing of Christmas.
I got my first Christmas present a bit early. Truly, a night divine.

My husband and I have gone through some really hard times, financially I mean. Both of us grew up in homes were frugality existed in all things, so in part this made it easier for us to accept our new state and exist with what we had. We were both frugal through our early years, but along the way we developed new ideas and attitudes about spending money and buying and having stuff. We had crossed over and become mainstream consumers. We had to cut back, then we cut back some more, until we were only spending our income on what we had to have to exist daily. At first I felt ashamed that we were not out there like Joe American spending, putting on credit cards what we didn't have money for, and not being able to buy what I wanted on shopping trips. I would go window shopping at my favorite stores and be sad and pitiful, lovingly touching what I couldn't have then going home with a long face. Oh and stopping along the way to give myself a "treat" for being good.
I was always coming up with some project or craft around the house, that I needed to go and buy something for. Or some event that I needed new clothing to wear to or a gift to take along. I needed something for the house or yard. All that had to stop. But the story doesn't end there thank goodness! I learned all over again how to save money, mostly by not spending any to begin with and how to be happy about it! We took a hard look at our situation and made the cuts to the budget where we could. Let me explain what I mean by that last statement. We needed food, a roof over our heads, gas and insurance for our cars, and utilities. And even in those few areas there are ways to cut back, sometimes in big ways. There are many things we spend money on that are simply not necessary.
Food doesn't have to be expensive to be delicious and nutritious. You don't need to have the new car, you can continue to drive your old one. We are working on putting 200,000 miles on ours before we consider another one and then it won't be new, it will be a gently used one. Do you really need to drive as much as you do? Probably not, save the wear and tear on your car and save the gas, don't drive so much. Insurance you have to have but you may be able to cut back there too, call your agent. Utilities? Remember mom and dad or grandma telling you to turn off the lights and TV when you are not using them? How about not standing in front of the fridge with the door open? Don't leave the front door open and let all the heat/cool out? Shorter showers? Do you always need to have the hot water on when you turn on the faucet? Do you leave the water running in the kitchen sink?
There is a multitude of ways to cut back and save money. The thing about being frugal, or a tightwad, a penny pincher, a spend thrift; is that in the process of being frugal you usually are also helping to "save the planet", or being green. Often it is also a healthier way to live if only by reducing the stress over money. So it works in several ways for good. I want to show you how I do just that; really it is how our grandparents and their grandparents lived. It does take some thinking; you will have to stop entertaining yourself some and do more productive things. It will be good for you. You may lose some weight over it, you will hopefully save money and time.
One thing I realized had to change immediately was how I thought about our lives and our new position. Your thoughts can determine your success here. I needed to look at my situation as a new chance to grow and expand my knowledge base. I could find contentment and satisfaction in doing my part to help myself. I had to stop buying and reading home and landscape decorating magazines, entertainment magazines, style and beauty magazines. I started going to the library and checking out books on frugal living. I started looking at all the ways I spent money; was it out of need, desire, and could I do better. This is where change began and it grew into a new life style, one I had left behind me when I jumped on the "let's be like everyone else" bandwagon. I now have a new sense of accomplishment. I have skills and knowledge and self discipline that I can use to better my life and my families lives. I am more peaceful, I have more time to do things I enjoy, I have more quality time to give my family. My home is cleaner, healthier, we produce less waste, I've lost weight without much effort, and I have more to show for what I do day in and day out.
I can put a $10 bill in my purse and still have it a week later. I don't carry a credit card or use one to purchase anything. I pat myself on the back instead of buying myself a treat. I look around my home and yard and at my car and smile because it is enough and I am content with where I am and what I have. It's a good place to be. I would like to share with you how I live now, debt free except for our mortgage, verses back then, up to our eyeballs in debt and stressed to the breaking point.
At first when you start on your money saving journey it seems as if you can never achieve your goals. I like to think about small savings over several areas like this; it works like making a patch work quilt. A little piece here, a little piece there, the time it takes to put it all together, then one day if you keep at it, you have a completed thing of beauty. It's comforting, it feels good, it gives back to you and you are so proud you did it your self!

Don't be shy--go on & give the Nut House a try. We're all a tad bit nutty, anyway.
Since 1866, the Morrow name has been synonymous with fine candy and fresh roasted nuts.
Rose Morrow's parents, Peleg and Elizabeth, were taught candy-making by a wounded Confederate soldier, in gratitude to the young Yankee couple for taking him in and nursing him back to health. When Rose was left on her own with six children to raise in 1904, she did so the only way she knew how - making and selling sumptuous candies from the finest ingredients and nuts she roasted herself.
As the older children left the nest, Rose began to travel with her two youngest, Bill and Howard, plying her trade. Before long, it was just Rose and her little Howard, nicknamed Spud, making and selling candy, fudge and brittles in storefronts from town to town.
During the summers, Rose and Spud criss-crossed the country offering their freshly-made sweets and nuts at local, county and state fairs.
In 1926, when Spud was 25, he and his two older brothers introduced their products at the Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia and on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
That same summer, Spud decided to try opening a shop specializing in just nuts, the Jungle Nut Shop, on the Boardwalk. Everyone told him it couldn't succeed, but with the sea breezes carrying the delicious smell of roasting nuts across the Boardwalk, people were soon clambering for Morrow's Nuts. Morrow's Nut House was born!
From that time on, the Morrow brand recognition increased as customer's enjoyed Morrow's fresh, high quality products. Eventually, Spud turned the enterprise over to his son, Howard Jr., who grew the business to over 230 stores across the country, including major cities from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles.
Today, there is a new chapter in the Morrows story. Morrows fine candies and fresh roasted nuts are now available to order online in beautiful gift tins, trays, gift boxes and baskets, customized to treat everyone on your list, for any occasion - including yourself!

Column Day! Today I tackle one of the most unexpectedly frustrating aspects of being a parent: getting your kids dressed.
The Chronicle Herald went through a fancy redesign this weekend that looks very nice, but they seemed to have lost a bunch of content along the way, including my column. It ran in today's print edition but I can't find it anywhere on their website. I've copied the full version below, though, after the jump. Enjoy.
Clothing is highly overrated
Despite the recent run of mild weather, I'm bracing myself for the fact that chilly days are coming. And that's not good.
As a parent I've found a new reason to detest the cold: It requires more clothes. And more clothes mean more work. Dressing children is no easy feat. You learn this during your first 2 a.m. diaper change, as you groggily try to snap up those evil little dome buttons on your baby's sleeper while she flails and screams.
It gets tougher once they're mobile. The General currently finds it hilarious to run and hide as soon as I get his PJs off. The kid is wiry and deceptively strong for a two-yearold. Dressing him is like wrestling a small alligator.
Like many kids, he'd rather go without clothes. As he streaked across the kitchen last week, yelling his face off, my wife noted that "he seems to have extra energy when he's naked."
"Maybe he draws his power from the sun," I replied. "Like Superman."
You'd think life would grow easier once your kids can dress themselves, but that's when they develop their own weird fashion sense. Ironically enough, in a household with three boys and a girl, our daughter is the least neurotic about her wardrobe.
The Whirlwind had a phase where he intentionally wore everything backwards. Over the course of a day he sometimes manages to lose his underwear.
Meanwhile, the Mastermind has all kinds of issues with clothes. He's highly sensitive to textures, and socks in particular make him nuts. He'll only wear two pairs: his baseball socks, which come past his knees, and a set of purple striped socks that hardly match anything he owns.
But once he finds a pair he likes, he'd rather not take them off. Last week I had to pass a Sock Edict: "They go in the hamper after two days or when you smell like feet, whichever comes first."
He also has a definitive style. We once had an epic battle over red sweatpants. I wanted him to look halfway presentable, and his pants were full of holes. I told him to change and he lost his mind.
"But I have a plan!" he screamed. "I have to dress all in red so I can be camouflaged against red objects."
I put my foot down but he refused to shed the pants. Ten minutes and many tears and threats later, we were at an impasse. Finally I tried a different tactic.
"Look around," I said. "How many red objects do you see? Red's not a very good camouflage colour."
I fished a grey wool hoodie and a pair of dark corduroys out of his dresser. "Grey is much better for ninjas. You can hide in the shadows."
Amazingly, he bought it and changed his clothes. Score one for Dad.
But I've since wised up and accepted that clothing belongs in the Not a Big Deal category. My kids' idiosyncrasies are worth more than my own sense of dignity.
So it happens that the Whirlwind sometimes goes to church wearing 3D glasses and a cape.
And so two weeks ago on family picture day, my wife and I just shrugged when the Mastermind said, "Can I spike my hair so I look like a mad genius? That's my usual state anyway."
Sure, we said. Why alter reality for a photo?
We ended up with quite the portrait. The General looks terrified, the Princess is indifferent, and the older boys appear to posing for the poster of Spy Kids 5.
But everyone is facing the same direction, nobody's crying, and yes, we're all wearing clothes.
You celebrate the small victories.

The Westin Nashville
Though The Westin's high-rise ambience is that of a hotel chain, it does have some Music City tweaks which reminds you which neighbourhood you're staying in. The brightly lit L27 rooftop bar beacons to those looking for a scene above the streets.
- Margaret Littman, Travel writer
Towering 27 floors over the SoBro neighborhood, The Westin benefits from being across the street from the Music City Center [sic]. It is several blocks' walking distance both to downtown attractions and 8th Avenue South's bars and restaurants. Parking is at a premium in this area.
Style & character
The lobby of this skyscraper includes details such as guitar picks inset in the countertops and a belt-buckle chandelier, making you aware that you are in Music City. The brightly lit L27 rooftop bar beacons to those looking for a scene above the streets. Aside from those elements, the modern furniture and high-rise design are clean and simple, albeit not innovative.
Service & facilities
The Westin has ample staff, should you need anything you'll find someone to assist. Because this is a large, convention-type hotel, the attention isn't particularly personalised. This is one of Nashville's few full-service hotels with a full spa and multiple bars and restaurants. In Rhapsody Spa manicures and pedicures are offered in a large room great for hen parties and other groups, while massages are in smaller, more traditional treatment rooms. Work off your Southern feasts at a well-appointed fitness centre with great views of the city. There's also a small plunge pool on the rooftop.

- Room service
- Sauna

- Steam room/hammam
- Wi-Fi
The 456 rooms (including 18 suites) are chock full of modern design. They're made for comfort, and there's enough space to walk around the beds and desks to sink into a leather-like chair or take in the views from the big windows. Headboards feature Western-style beltbuckles and hides, but in a way that says "modern Nashville" and not "cowpoke." Rooms are stocked with earplugs and lavender essential oil to help you sleep. Bathrooms have sliding doors and rainfall showerheads.
Food & drink
The lobby also doubles as the location of Decker & Dyer, the hotel's main restaurant. It is an open space, with large screens where you can watch country music videos, or eat and read the newspaper while being a part of the hubbub in the lobby. The menu is limited, but well executed, particularly for breakfast and lunch. The Oak Steakhouse is the better dinner choice, with its traditional steak and seafood menu, impressive wine list and large windows. The swanky L27 rooftop bar has a full menu, but the focus is more on the cocktails, sitting in the sky-high small splash pool and taking rooftop yoga classes.
Value for money
Double rooms from $225 (£171); some packages include breakfast. Free Wi-Fi. Valet $38 (£29) – self-parking unavailable.
Access for guests with disabilities?
The hotel is ADA-compliant, with accessible rooms.
The hotel is family-friendly, though there are no specific amenities for children. There are rollaway beds and cots available at no extra charge for kids (but can only go in certain rooms - ask ahead). The hotel is also pet-friendly (at no additional charge) and has events for pets during the holidays. Ask for dog beds if needed.

Ashkelon Rebbetzins Killer Claims Death Was Accidental
Details have emerged surrounding the July murder of Ashkelon Rebbetzin Tziona Samin, after a gag order on the case was lifted on Sunday and one of the suspects reenacted for the police the robbery in which the 65-year-old woman died. On July 2, Rebbetzin Samin's body was found bound on the floor by her husband, R' Yosef Samin. Investigators from the Lachish District Police focused on suspects Feredian, 41, of Ashkelon, and Igor Kigelman, 27, of Bat Yam. Feredian said he told Rebbetzin Samin he was only after money, but after climbing the stairs to the second floor to search for valuables, he heard noise from the floor below. When he went back downstairs, he saw that the victim was no longer breathing, he said. The suspect told the police he only intended to rob the residence, not hurt the woman.
