We are so proud of this blog! Included here are letters and photos that our clients have sent us before, during and after their trips. It is such a great feeling to know we helped make someone's "trip" into something spectacular and memorable. Thank YOU!
We received the best service!
We cannot thank Romance Travel Group, Shelli Nornes, enough! Our destination wedding in Jamaica at Royalton Blue Waters was absolutely amazing! We received the best service, and our friends and relatives went on and on about Romance Travel Group, and how easy they made the trip for them to come to our wedding. They made the entire process easy and stress-free! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone looking to have a destination wedding. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Shelli did an amazing job!
Shelli did an amazing job helping us plan the perfect wedding. She took the time to talk with us multiple times to make sure she was picking the best options for us and our special day. Even when we were at the destination and we had problems; she was on the phone getting them resolved immediately. She was an amazing help and gave us an amazing wedding. She would be our first pick if we had to do it again.
We worked with Tiffani for our wedding in Jamaica. We contacted Romance Travel on a Monday evening. I woke up the next day with a response from Shelli introducing us to Tiffani. Tiffani called us that afternoon, and by the end of the day we had a list of resorts to look thru that were tailored to our needs. Tiffani was very professional, very helpful, very kind and responded promptly to our inquiries. She answered questions about our wedding that not only pertained to travel, but articulated herself as a travel expert and was extremely helpful. Tiffani coordinated our wedding party's travel, which was 60 people's travel. This was a seamless process, and an absolute pleasure to work with her. Leveraging Tiffani with Romance Travel was advantageous to our wedding and our wedding party, and we will recommend her to any of our friends and family seeking a destination style wedding.
We worked with Shelli for our destination wedding in Cabo and it was amazing! We couldn't be happier! She helped us pick Dreams Los Cabos Resort. She was so helpful and did such a great job and always answered all of our calls and emails promptly. We loved the chocolates sent to us and the cute coffee mugs sent to all our guests, such nice personal touches. Thank you SO much Shelli for everything and for making our dream destination wedding come true!

Bogus Workmen
Police in East Lothian are investigating an incident where bogus workmen conned an elderly woman in Musselburgh.
The workmen called at the woman's home in Whitehill Avenue last Thursday (September 27), and charged a four-figure sum of money for work carried out on her roof.
A Lothian and Borders Police spokesman said:
The workmen charged an extortionate fee to carry out work on the building, which lasted no more than a few hours.
It is suspected that they may have called at a number of addresses in the area offering to carry out similar work, and police want to hear from anyone who may have received an unsolicited call of this nature.
Likewise, we want to hear from anyone who saw the men working on the property in Whitehill Road, or anyone else with information that can assist us in identifying them.
At this time we would advise people who receives an unsolicited call from anyone offering to carry out any type of maintenance work on their property to refuse them access, and contact the police.
If you have any information please use the following contact details:
- Lothian and Borders Police – 0131 311 3131
- Crimestoppers in confidence and complete anonymity – 0800 555 111.
Vehicle Thefts
Police in East Lothian are reminding local residents to keep their valuables out of sight following a number of break-ins to vehicles in Haddington, Gifford and East Gifford over the past week.

In the meantime, local officers are reminding people there are simple steps that can be taken keep their property safe.
Local Police Inspector Bob Rodriguez said:
Enquiries are ongoing to determine whether these thefts are linked, however they are undoubtedly a series of opportunistic crimes that took place in residential areas where there was a high chance of the suspect being seen.
There are investigations into all of these incidents and we are appealing for anyone with any information to contact us as soon as possible.
In the meantime, I would encourage local residents in the area to visit our website for valuable crime prevention advice on how to keep your car and home safe, and to always ensure that motorcycles are kept appropriately secure and immobilised when parked and unattended.

Rupee down 3 paise
Mumbai: The Indian rupee lost 3 paise to Rs 44.54 per US dollar in early trade on the Interbank Foreign Exchange today, weighed down by dollar gains against other Asian currencies overseas and a weak trend in the stock market.

The rupee lost 2 paise to close at Rs 44.51/52 against the US dollar in the previous session on Friday due to mild dollar demand.
Meanwhile, the Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex fell by 37.42 points, or 0.20 per cent, to 18,524.50 in opening trade today.

Kamasutra 101 is a project, that had appeared in my head to help people to incrase sexual awareness. Sex and all connected topics are uncomfortable subjects and still a taboo in many places. How many parents takes the weight of conversation about sexual education, when so many times it's even hard to talk about sex and sexuality for adult people in relationship.
Without support from parents teenagers will look for other ways, which in many cases means the internet. How many times teenagers are looking for educational sources about sex and sexuality on the internet you can simply answear to yourself and how many times they are looking for porn?
Well I don't think, that watching porn is the best way to learn about sex, relationship, sexual diseases etc.
Educational sites are often not interesting not only for young people but also for adults, who also have problems with this topic. Even when someone find educational sites about sex and relatives, you cannot be sure of sources and qualifications of the author.
This is why for this project I will look for specialists like sexologists, medicine doctors, psychologists and looking for confirmed sources.
I would also invite volunteers for translating articles and for other help.
Very important help is to judge what can be interesting, what can get attention, what is currently on top today etc.
What I want to project kamasutra 101 contents:
(it's not enough just to say sexual awareness and please keep in mind it's for everyone in any age)
encouragement for open discussion about intimacy
-growing up (which can be difficult as much for girls as for boys)
-sexual preferences (which is very important for happy relationship and health)
-sexual problems
-sexual diseases (many people still don't know the risk etc.)
-health problems (cancer etc.)
-sexuality in old age
-informations what kind of help and where this help is available (in which country and language. This is why I want to include people from around the World and make this project international source of help)
There will be for sure more things as this is very first shape of this project.
Who will denied that sex and sexuality are important factors in human life?
Also sexual awareness can help (at least partialy) to protect children from pedophilia.
Yes, it's big and ambitious project, that's why I'm looking for help. I know, that I will be unable to do all this by myself, but when more people will find interest and part of their time then we can help to lots of people.
For all those who would like to help me to bring this project to live and for cooperation, don't be shy and let me know 🙂
Also please let me know, what you think about this idea.
Have a nice day and take care.

How to Tell If Your Company Needs Professional Security
All businesses need a security plan, and some need proactive measures such as posting security guards. We live in times when companies are facing greater risks. In many cases, business owners who may not have required the services of security guards a few decades ago are now evaluating this option. If you own a company, you should take time to conduct a security assessment to determine whether your business should hire security in Chatsworth. The following indicators can help you determine this need.
High Rates of Shrinkage
Retail store owners should expect some level of loss related to shoplifting and employee theft, but it should not be higher than two percent. Restaurant owners can expect 1.4 percent and distributors who operate warehouses should expect about 1 percent. High shrinkage rates indicate a need for greater security measures.
Expensive Insurance Premiums
If you are getting sticker shock from the premiums quoted by your commercial liability insurance agent, you should start shopping around for policy providers. If this effort does not result in lower premiums, it may be time for you to retain the services of a professional security firm. Most insurance providers offer premium discounts to business owners who keep security guards at their establishments.
Location in a High-Crime Area
Some districts happen to be riskier than others, particularly for retail stores and other companies that manage cash on a daily basis. With the help of armed guard private protection in Chatsworth, you can deter certain crimes that may be common in the area.
Risk of Overzealous Activists
The 1999 World Trade Organization summit in Seattle introduced a new and dangerous era of activism. Anti-globalist factions borrowed tactics from the direct activism strategy used by organizations such as Greenpeace and Sea Shepherds. The result was vandalism, violence, and sabotage. Business owners who operate in sectors that are politically controversial should think about protecting their companies, clients, and staff members with the physical presence of security guards.
Your Competition Thrives with the Help of Security
When you manage your business correctly in terms of efficiency and marketing, you should have as much store traffic as your competitors. If you notice competing businesses with security guards are attracting more customers, don't allow your company to fall behind. The presence of guards sends a positive signal to customers and visitors who will feel you care about their safety as much as you care about getting their business.
Overall Safety Needs Improvement
Commercial establishments that get a lot of traffic can always benefit from the presence of security guards. Beyond access control and traffic monitoring, security guards can also respond to emergency situations and accidents. If your company operates a parking lot, posting security personnel can substantially reduce liability risks. Moreover, security guards are trained to respond to situations such as natural disasters, power outages, employee conflicts, and medical emergencies.
If you need professional security guards to protect your business, reach out to Security Consulting Group. We offer professional guards in Chatsworth and other cities throughout Southern California. To speak with one of our friendly representatives, call 818-462-3080 today.

Simply election rhetoric?3 min read . Updated: 15 Apr 2009, 12:27 PM IST
Simply election rhetoric?
Simply election rhetoric?
This refers to the manifestos declared by both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress party. Both have come up with populist steps. The BJP tried to steal the Congress' offer of sops of rice and wheat at cheap prices for the poor. That doesn't seem to make any economic sense. In the last 10 years of National Democratic Alliance and United Progressive Alliance rule, both regimes didn't implement such offers; why would anyone believe that they will now? And the Congress' idea of reservations in the private sector can only be summarized as crazy. In this slowdown, the private sector can ill-afford to have reservations. The only good proposal that came from the BJP was to increase the minimum interest tax slab, which will provide relief to the middle class.

Your turn to talk
I am writing in response to "Machine vs dream politics". I am sure that the rate at which poverty is removed will decide what happens to Indian democracy. The haves will have a stake in the system as they get their heads above water. They will think and vote for what is best for them, and clan, caste and other considerations will take second place. The power of the thinking man is awesome— thus the procrastination and delay. People will not wait forever.

Nominations for elections to the Lok Sabha are in full swing. Candidates are filing their affidavits showing their wealth details. Many of them surprisingly do not own any car or other vehicles. Their yearly income from these stated investments and properties may not be substantial. A rough calculation on the back of an envelope indicates their income may not even make them liable for income tax.
Their income may be well below the exemption limit. In these days of inflation and the high cost of living, it is a wonder how they are able to meet ends and pay their bills. One is curious to know how on earth they are able to look after themselves and their family on such a low income when ordinary people are not able to afford many things for themselves, their children and their family. With such meagre resources, it is a wonder how they are able to stand for a Lok Sabha election. Will these candidates tell the secret by which they are able to have a high standard of living with their meagre income? Election Commission (EC) officials simply get and file the affidavits. They don't seem to check the veracity and truth of the sworn affidavits. EC should thoroughly examine their affidavits. Those who file false affidavits should be severely punished. The common perception is that the whole exercise is a farce.

The zeal and zest in equity markets is painting a picture of speedy economic recovery. Major equity indices across the globe have had a stupendous rally, gaining around 25% in less than a month. So, is the worst behind us? Consider these if you jump to answer "yes".
Crude oil prices have surged by 30% in March. Has the on-ground reality really changed to justify this increase? Neither has the demand revived drastically nor has the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries announced production cuts. Unless crude oil stabilizes, the path to economic recovery will be difficult.
There have been many job losses with unemployment rates in many countries at their highest since the '80s. The disposable incomes of the salaried class have dipped. The first sign of economic stability and its path to recovery would be absence of any job cuts.
The volatility needs to subside for the economy to stabilize, after which the path to recovery would be travelled. The economic recovery would be a slow process and is still quite a few months away.

Mount port-side development land for sale
Two adjoining bare sections located directly across the road from the mooring and passenger boarding and disembarkation facilities for cruise liners visiting the port of Tauranga have been placed on the market for sale.
The two freehold sites on the corner of Rata Street and Nikau Crescent in Mount Maunganui are zoned commercial 8C under the Tauranga Council district plan – allowing for a construction height of up to 12 metres.
Combined, the two flat sites encompass some 1,867-square metres of land. The two sections are being sold as one offering.
The Rata Street/Nikau Crescent block - zoned city centre under Tauranga City Council's district plan - is surrounded by mix-used properties sustaining port-related commercial offices such as customs brokers and the regional headquarters of HMS Customs, retail outlets, and apartments.
The properties at 10 Rata Street and 37 Nikau Crescent are now being marketed for sale at auction at 1pm on May 1 through Bayleys Tauranga.
Salespeople Lloyd Davidson and Sarah Schouwenburg say the land offered an 'excellent blank canvas' development opportunity.
"The site is positioned directly across from the Port of Tauranga, much of which their core activity consists of container, produce, and people movement, from Mount Maunganui's more commercial and high street retail precinct," says Lloyd.
"Design configurations for any new building on the Rata/Nikau site could easily factor in retail units at street level, with commercial floors above. Or a boutique hotel to accommodate passengers either embarking onto cruises calling in at Tauranga, or terminating their journey at the port."
The Port of Tauranga hosted 114 cruise ships over the 2018/19 season which runs from October to April, with the same number of liner berths forecast for the 2019/20 season.
"With tens of thousands of cruise passengers now utilising the Pilot Bay berthage over what is effectively a seven-month season, the Mount Maunganui retail environment and wider Bay of Plenty tourism sector has benefitted from this growth," says Lloyd.
"Such sector activity provides the obvious economic foundations for the future potential use of the Rata Street/Nikau Crescent site and its most likely tenancies."
Sarah says the site previously housed the head office for what became the Owens Group. At that time, this was the main base for the original stevedore business that managed the beginnings of the NZ log and timber trade to Japan.
Sales data for large blocks of bare land purchased in Mount Maunganui over the past nine months shows that 2,118-square metres of land at nearby 2 Rata Street sold for a per square metre rate of $2,630, while 800-square metres of land at 33 Totara Street sold for a per square metre rate of $3,870.

Aberdeenshire: Touched by Majesty
For more than 160 years the royal family has spent summer holidays enjoying the delights of Aberdeenshire. In the first of a four-part series, Fiona Horan gives an overview of what groups could discover in this part of Scotland.
From museums to mountainsI know Aberdeenshire from childhood trips to see my grandparents who lived in the Highland village of Braemar. Most summers (and a couple of magical winters) off my family would go – just like the Royals – to stay in the valley of the river Dee, surrounded by the Cairngorm Mountains. This area is known as Royal Deeside and follows the river through some of Scotland's finest scenery. It has a very distinctive atmosphere and identity and is just one facet of this enormously varied Scottish county.
As well as the pleasures of the countryside, visitors can also enjoy city sophistication, arts, museums, history, restaurants, festivals and shopping in 'The Granite City' Aberdeen – a prosperous metropolis and the third largest in Scotland. Aberdeen is also the area's major transport hub – not just road, rail and air – but also the departure point for ferries to the Orkneys and Shetland Islands – a ferry route I took a few years ago and found to be very comfortable (with the possibility of spotting dolphins and whales en route!).
Coastline and castles
The coastline of Aberdeenshire and neighbouring Banffshire offers sandy bays, rugged cliffs, attractive seaside towns and villages, dramatic castle ruins, and chances to spot wildlife – including dolphins, seals and puffins. It is easy to find your own deserted secret sandy hideaway. Alternatively, head to seaside towns like Stonehaven with its attractive yachting harbour, open air swimming pool and plentiful eateries.
The turbulent history of the region has left its mark in some wonderful castles and fortresses to visit – including some of the most beautiful in the country. These include turreted fairytale castles like the Queen's private residence Balmoral Castle near Braemar in Royal Deeside and Craigievar Castle at Alford; austere fortresses such as Corgarff Castle, Strathdon; and dramatic cliff-top ruins such as Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven.
One of Aberdeenshire's premier attractions is the Castle Trail – the only one of its kind in the country. There are more castles here per acre than anywhere in the UK, and the route takes in 19 impressive sites.
The Great Outdoors
Energetic visitors are well catered for in Aberdeenshire with a long list of activities available including hiking, fishing, golf, riding, mountain-biking, gliding, skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, surfing, kiteboarding, gorge walking, zip wires and off-road driving. The Cairngorms National Park, in particular, offers year-round opportunities for adventure. In the winter visitors can experience skiing and snowboarding at two purpose built ski centres, The Lecht 2090 and Glenshee.
During the rest of the year the UK's largest National Park offers watersports, wildlife watching, and fantastic high and low level walking and cycling routes, as well as museums, gardens, historic sites and castles. The 41-mile Deeside Way runs to Ballater in the Cairngorms National Park from the centre of Aberdeen and can be followed by hikers and cyclists.
Scotland is famous as the birthplace of golf and Aberdeenshire has two of the 10 oldest courses in the world as well as the UK's highest golf course at Braemar in the upper reaches of Royal Deeside. Expect to find courses in splendid settings – in the city, among forests and glens, on great estates and rugged heaths, in castle grounds and alongside fast-flowing rivers, and all along the coastline.
Food and drink
The region offers much to enjoy on the food and drink front, and is known for the delicious fresh bounty of its seas, rivers, fields, forests and moors. Local specialities include the Aberdeen rowie or buttery (a croissant style pastry), Aberdeen Angus, seafood, gin and craft beer and, of course, whisky.
Aberdeen itself has many good restaurants including Moonfish Café in the city centre, whose head chef was runner up on television's MasterChef: The Professionals. Another restaurant to consider is The Silver Darling – a former Customs House at the mouth of Aberdeen Harbour, which has panoramic views of the waterfront and serves local produce such as Aberdeen Angus Beef, fish and shellfish dishes. If you're lucky, you may see dolphins and seals whilst enjoying your food. Silver Darling, by the way, is the local name for herring.
There are top-notch restaurants in even the smallest villages these days, such as Eat on the Green in the quaint village of Udny Green north of Aberdeen. Owner Craig Wilson is known as The Kilted Chef and has received wide recognition and many industry awards.
Aberdeenshire has seven whisky distilleries which groups can visit. Collectively known as the "Secret Malts" of Aberdeenshire, they include Glen Garioch near Aberdeen, Ardmore and Royal Lochnagar.

Group accommodation
City centre boutique hotels, country houses, deep in the Scottish glens, coastal glamping sites, and castles both famous and almost undiscovered are ready to offer a warm welcome to groups of all sizes and at all budgets. Here is just a sample of some of the immense variety on offer.
Sandman Signature Hotel in Aberdeen is a new 218 bed hotel and restaurant in the centre of the city, close to museums and parks, Union Street (for the shops) and the quayside. The hotel is part of Aberdeen's granite conservation area and is one of the largest granite buildings in the world. Of perhaps special interest is the city's first premium whisky lounge, Freedom An' Whisky, within the hotel's Chop Grill and Bar restaurant. It has an extensive menu which boasts over 150 premium single malts, sourced from Scotland's top distilleries. From experts to first-time tasters, guests can sip on the 'water of life' in a traditional Scottish interior of dark wood and crackling fires.
On the Banffshire Coast, north of Aberdeen, the Sail Loft, in the pretty harbour village of Portsoy, has recently been re-developed to offer flexible self-catering accommodation for groups. The style is simple, practical, thoughtful and comfortable with all the essential facilities to allow visitors to enjoy their stay – including a wood fired hot tub, available all year round.
Twelve en-suite bedrooms are available at comedian Billy Connelly's former mansion Candacraig in Royal Deeside – a beautiful building in the turreted Scottish baronial style dating from the 17th century.
Also in Royal Deeside is the Mill of Dess Lodge nestling in the privately owned 428 acre Lower Dess Estate, near Aboyne. The Lodge caters for all manner of outdoor pursuits with a huge drying room, boot dryers, secure storage and a rod room, and is fully staffed and catered. The maximum group size is 20.
For a comfortable country house experience, consider Maryculter House Hotel beside the River Dee, which has 40 bedrooms, and can accommodate groups of up to 60. The oldest part of the hotel dates back to 1460, and one of the later lairds of the house was Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon, one of the few male passengers who survived the Titanic disaster.

I have a confession: I am bound in chains and sometimes I like it. My flesh is tethered by bands of leather and holy boxes inscribed with the word of God. The numbness under the straps speaks to me of security, reminds me of an invisible, all powerful touch.
The truth is metaphor's a nasty animal that rears its head and paws at the dirt and runs off chasing wild game the moment you think it's majesty might actually be your own.
But the bigger truth is this: Lately I've been thinking a lot about freedom, about what it means to be free, about liberation, and all the chains we carry.
Another truth: Pesach (or Passover, as it's known in English) begins tonight. It's the first time I'll be able to join the Seder (ritual meal) at my synagogue in years. It's also a time to reflect on our freedom, to recall that time when we, too, were slaves in a foreign land.
And a final truth (because on Pesach, everything comes in fours, except the plagues, which come in ten): Judaism is a communal religion and whereas almost every other religion I know of can conceive the notion of solitary practitioners, Judaism does not. It cannot. And so while I've participated in Jewish functions on campus, none of it relates as deeply to me or as meaningfully as my synagogue: these bonds are deep, seemingly eternal, and my practice of Judaism withers with their stretching across time and space.
However, the faith of Judaism never leaves me, and I pursue careers, relationships, and education, these values impact every decision–I don't even always realize how Judaism has guided my hand until I reflect upon it to myself or explain myself to others. But just as an isomorphism forms a special subgroup that it sends to the identity of its image, so Judaism has formed the kernel of my body spiritual and corporeal.
I feel as though I'm diverging into infinite tangent fields, while what I'd rather do is converge upon the point of freedom–or as it sometimes feels, the lack thereof.
So pause for a moment: What is freedom?
For many in the US, it seems freedom is a catch phrase for anything we want it to be. But it doesn't quite stretch that far. I'm free to speak within boundaries. I'm free to move, to go to school, to work–within the confines of an oppressive economy. I am free to practice my religion but sit idly as it's ignored and infringed upon. I'm free–or at least I should be–to love as I please, to have children, to live a meaningful life–but others believe it's their right to take that all away from me. And they still think I'm free?
I'm also white. I'm also male. I'm also cisgender. And these place me on a higher tier than others, and I've grown up in a caste society that has blinded me to the disproportionate reality of equals deemed inferior for outdated, unjust ideas that stand in the face of God.
In his image, we were created. B'tzelem Elohim.
It's easy to forget, harder to forgive. But forgiveness, absence of mind, is not a freedom we're always offered–we can't always forgive another if that other is a faceless system, a tilted institution. We can't always forget if we're subject to aggression every day because of our beliefs, our physical features, our health, our wealth, or even those we love.
Is this freedom? Is this land of freedom, home of the brave, truly as free as it says?
Then again, perhaps freedom is a false aim. The Jews escaped the oppression of the Pharaohs, but they did not escape the rule of God. They adopted a new culture, a new theology, that commanded them, demanded they behave as God says to behave. Was this freedom? They could not mix wool and cotton. They could not eat pork or shellfish. They could not work on the Sabbath and were required to leave harvests for the poor.
Was this freedom?
Or was this liberation?
Freedom implies a lack of restriction, but restrictions are not inherently evil. Who hollers over their lack of freedom to kill? To steal? To abduct children or rape the powerless? No, restrictions are not by nature disastrous–and to believe they are destroys us. It certainly destroyed the economy in 2008 and led us into far more wars than we deserved to have.
"Out of limitations come creativity," said actress Debbie Allen, and it reminds us that where we are restricted, we have the greatest potential to innovate and grow.
But where we are oppressed, creativity is stifled. We yearn not for freedom, but for liberation–the removal of our chains, the uplifting our entire being, the ascent to freedom–or the ascent to a higher level of freedom, for restrictions will still apply.
They need not be bad restrictions, but they will still define who we are, or rather, who we will become. But in a society that predestines children of color and low-incomes for lives less than those of their wealthier, whiter peers, regardless of personal work or efforts, these restrictions do not help us to grow, but halts our growth before it has even begun.
Earlier this year I had no idea where I would be in only a few months. I still don't exactly know my future. I placed all my power, all my plans in the hands of others–it was up to Teach for America to decide if I would be accepted; it was up to NC State to decide if I would be continuing toward my master's degree; and I'm still waiting for the US government to decide if my fiance can come to the US so we can finally be together.
No intelligent bystander would have said in that moment I was not free, but even now, I feel bound by individuals I shall never see face-to-face, by people whose names I will never know. I am free, yet my freedom is limited. But are these limitations from which I must be liberated? How can I tell? Is it even possible to know?
I'm not certain, and today I'm not questioning.
Today it doesn't matter. For just one moment I'm not staring at the vast sea of economic inequality that ravages our country. For this one instant I'm not looking at the bills being passed that give the legal right to discriminate against LGBT people, those like myself, my fiance, and so many of my friends and peers. For right now I'm turning away from the centuries of misinformation that has led, even today, to worldwide anti-Semitism.
Instead I'm looking backward. I'm looking at those years when I was a slave in Egypt, when I was spilling my blood to build the greatness of others, rather than the greatness of my own, when I could not eat, sleep, or breathe but for the will and whip of another.
And then I'm looking at today: the march across the parted Sea of Reeds, the forty-year journey through the dessert led by a column of God's light, and the final destination at the Holy Land and all the rivers of milk and honey therein. My ability to write this from the comfort of my room, my privilege of sharing it with you, the food I'll have before me, the roof I'll have above me, my health and physical ability, my education, my job security.
And then where it all stops. Those limitations from which we must still be liberated.
Freedom is an unattainable and an unwanted goal, but liberation is deserved, an end toward which we all must labor or an end to which we all will never see.

Historic audio recordings from the Nuremberg Trials of notorious Nazi war criminals look set to be made available to the public thanks to a unique Swiss system.
The International Court of Justice in The Hague has requested help from the College of Engineering and Architecture in Fribourg to digitalize hundreds of hours of crackly audio from the trials stored on 2,000 dusty old vinyl records.
"The records were more or less forgotten at The Hague until someone found them in a storage room some five years ago," Ottar Johnsen, professor of signal processing at Fribourg's College of Engineering and Architecture, told swissinfo.ch.
Twenty-two high-ranking Nazis were put on trial in Nuremberg, Germany, from October 1945 to October 1946, and found guilty of charges such as waging a war of aggression, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess and Joachim von Ribbentrop were among those in the dock. Martin Bormann, Hitler's deputy, was tried in absentia.
The Nuremberg trials are seen as setting an important legal precedent, preparing the ground for subsequent international war crimes prosecutions and the International Criminal Court.
Although transcripts and short films of the trials already exist, it will be the first time digital recordings of the entire trial sessions will be available to the public via the internet.

I bought a dell inspiron less than 2 years ago and the Hard drive went bad. I installed a new hard drive in my Inspiron an mistakenly put the drivers and utilities cd in instead of the OS disk. There is no paper clip hole so I'm in a pickle. Any ideas short of buying a new cd drive on how to get the disk out?
Have you tried going into My Computer, right clicking the drive and hit Eject?
Its a new hard drive...no operating system loaded yet. On power up it displays the DELL logo and acts like its trying to read from the disk thats in the drive. I didnt know if maybe there was a DOS command that would make it eject.?
I found an 'eject.com' on my computer that apparently came on an old Sony cd setup disk. It worked fine from 98 command prompt. I can email it to you if you post back your address or send it in a private message.
Of course, you need to be able to boot up somehow. With your cdrom locked up and no OS on the hard drive, do you have a floppy drive? If so you can download a bootdisk file from someplace like bootdisk.com and then add eject.com to the disk.
And that assumes the problem is with the cdrom button and not an internal failure with the drive. If the cdrom is busted no software command is going to open it.
Real men don't use AntiVirus; they just reformat
What the hell was I thinking. Not enough coffee yet. If you can go into the bios, try setting it to boot from the cd.
Uh, why can't you just press the eject button?
that was the 1st thing I tried........the button wont eject it.
How did you get the disc in the drive? You must have pressed the button to open the drawer. What happens when you press it now - does the LED on the drive light up but the drawer doesn't open? Did you try pressing it multiple times? It may be temporarily locked out during the boot cycle. If you keep pressing the button, it should eventually open - my guess is it's all in the timing.
Some of these laptop optic drives do not have a flap or tray or drawer. They take in and eject the disk bare like a car CD. If it will not respond to the eject button then dis-assembly might be the only option
Goin' Fishin' (Some day)
I haven't heard from you re my # 3 to your asking for a dos command to open the tray. Here's a download for it:
I think your problem is hardware related so I doubt the file will work, but you asked. And as I mentioned, the Dell will need to have a floppy drive and you'll need a dos/win9X bootdisk with cdrom support.

Room: St Laurent 7
Simultaneous English-to-French interpretation available for this session.
Christina Giordmaina RVT, CCRP, Physical Rehabilitation Veterinary Technician, Toronto Humane Society
Jenna Cook, RVT, CCRP, CCMT, Lead Physical Rehabilitation Veterinary Technician, SOAR Veterinary Services
Physical ailments affecting shelter animals such as recent or impending orthopedic surgery, arthritis, nerve injuries, and obesity cause pain and suffering and are often viewed as barriers to adoption. Efforts to ensure these animals receive physical rehabilitation plans and treatment to improve comfort and mobility can go a long way in increasing adoptability. Whether it is collaborating with an external rehab facility or implementing rehabilitation practices in-house, these animals have special needs that require additional monitoring and follow-up in order to attain optimal functioning. Through initiatives such as Foster-to-Adopt programs shelters are able to support adopters through the recovery process, providing detailed owner education and practical assistance that can increase the speed of recovery and even provide positive psychological effects for both the animal and new owner.
This lecture focuses on one of the fastest growing areas in veterinary medicine, physical rehabilitation, and brings to light its place in the treatment of shelter animals regardless of life stage or resources available to the shelter. A brief overview of the science behind physical rehabilitation will provide participants with the knowledge to identify why it is a valuable and necessary component of patient care and the treatment options available to help shelter animals keep fit and have fun while improving their mobility and adoptability. The realities of mobility compromised animals in shelter care will be discussed as well as exploring possibilities for partnerships with local veterinary rehabilitation professionals. The lecture will offer practical applications for shelters including how the rehabilitation department at the Toronto Humane Society has evolved using select case examples.
Key Learnings:
1.The reality of physically compromised patients in shelter care.
2. Why physical rehabilitation is necessary in the treatment of mobility issues.
3. Options for bringing rehabilitation practices to shelter animals – partnering and/or in-house.

Far Cry is a series that's been around a fair few years now. It's become a far cry of what it used to resemble, morphing from a weird first-person shooter where you have "powers", to a giant open-world behemoth. Is Far Cry New Dawn a great addition to the series, or has the sun finally began set on the franchise?
I'll be the first to admit, I've never closely followed Far Cry as a whole. I enjoyed many an afternoon dicking around with the map editor at a friends house back in the day, and I dived into Far Cry 2 a few years after release (I was a poor college boy, I'm sorry) and enjoyed some of what I played. I've since dabbled in the newer releases just "to see what's going on" and, shockingly, Far Cry New Dawn is more of the same.
I'd like to tackle the story and tone of Far Cry New Dawn first, if I may. See, I usually like to discuss gameplay and trickle down from there, but I feel this needs addressing at the start. Far Cry New Dawn takes place in a pseudo-post-apocalyptic "wasteland", where nature overtook the land due to the lack of humans, who cleverly hid in fridges or something. Pretty sure Indiana Jones was there.
Anyway, humans have returned and enjoyed a few brief years of peace. Naturally, peace never lasts and a group known as the Highwaymen have taken to rampaging, looting, and pillaging the area of Hope County. That's where you come in. You play the non-talking, emotionless husk of a man, or woman (you're given the choice to pick your avatar) who's the bodyguard of the man who's going to help everyone establish an amazing settlement, Rush. See, he's made a name for himself and, via Carmina Rye's efforts, he's making his way to Hope County with you in his shadow.
So the basic premise for the actual stuff you get to play in Far Cry New Dawn is you're there to build up a settlement, reunite some families and fight back against the Highwaymen. All seem's pretty somber and self-serious, right? Well, let's talk about that.
See, Far Cry New Dawn suffers from being almost bipolar in tone. One moment you're the catalyst behind a heartwarming reunion, the next you're subjected to a middle-aged man telling you that he's got a semi while you gun down people. It's not even the dialogue that made me roll my eyes at times, but there are various locations that you'll have to encounter that are named in witty ways and, the biggest example I have for that is a location named "Dicks Hole". These weird choices ultimately make for a tone that doesn't know what to do with itself. You have a roaving gang of marauders giving children live grenades, that ends up being undercut by a socially awkward man promising to give you a reach around. I'm all for humor being used to lighten dark situations, but there's almost a prepubescent air to the writing here.
Overall, the story is serviceable. You're given a reason to shoot the bad guy and, I guess that's all we really need, right?
Switching gears to the gameplay now. No more story talk from me. Far Cry New Dawn is your typical first-person shooter. You ever played the Call Of Duty? You'll be able to guess the default control scheme. That's the world we live in, and there's not really a more intuitive control scheme out there until we can start shipping games with replica guns. Actually, let's bring back lightguns in the household.
Now, I feel this point underlines everything to do with Far Cry New Dawn. The gunplay is mostly fine. See, there's a light sprinkling of RPG elements, and no, I don't mean everything explodes. For some strange reason, guns all have levels, as do enemies and animals. If your gun is lower than the level of an enemy (or a fucking bear) then you're set to do way less damage than you'd anticipate. I understand the decision from a gameplay perspective. You don't want Jenny from the block to spank through all your enemies with the first pistol in the game, but when you're attempting to convey a realistic setting, to a certain degree, it feels oddly placed.
Leveling up isn't really a matter of gaining experience by killing 65,340,285 boars in a forest. It's also not really a tangible number, though I guess you could probably just look at your guns and go "guess I'm level 3". Instead of gaining skills from gaining experience and hearing the tried and true ding, that we've all been trained to get hyped about like a pavlovian dog, you gain skill points by doing various challenges, ranging from getting X number of kills with Y level of pistol/shotgun/sniper rifle/etc, to completing outposts without being seen.
The challenges themselves don't really pose much of a threat to the average gamer, but they do at least provide you with a few goals to aim for while you traverse the map. Because Far Cry New Dawn is a Ubisoft game, there's also a plethora of extra events that are added to the map. Most of these also result in skill points, whether it's rescuing NPC's from the back of a lorry, to delving into a hidden room by torching the bodies of cultists, there's usually a few skill points to be had.
The skills you gain, on the other hand, range from the super useful "carry more guns", to the kinda lackluster "here's a fishing rod". Now don't get me wrong, I love a good fishing mini-game, but I feel there's definitely a trick missing here. These skills could've been used to help the player vary up the minute to minute gameplay, but instead, they're used to improve the core gameplay whilst shying away from changing it.
Base building is present, or at least, kinda. See, to gate you from getting the best guns/cars/explosives, you've gotta dump resources into upgrading all manner of things. It doesn't add to Far Cry New Dawn, in fact, it kinda detracts from it. Again, I understand gating weapon progression because let's face it, if you could have the best guns at the start of the game, you'd have no power curve. But there's a way you can get all the best shit at the start, and that's by dropping some sweet premium currency. Don't worry, we'll get to that.
The main resource needed in Far Cry New Dawn is Ethanol. It's the reason you have outposts to take out. It's the lifeblood of the game, the Mako energy if you're nasty. There are multiple ways to get a little bit of Ethanol, as there are seemingly random events that pop up to distract you from whatever noble quest you're on. There's occasional air drops for you to fight over, as well as ethanol tankers for you to commandeer and drive back to your base. There's little sprinklings of side content throughout the whole of Hope County. While it's not a bad thing in most games, Far Cry New Dawn has a metric fuck tonne that it's ready to ram down your throat at a moments notice.
See, with all the auxiliary activities, Far Cry New Dawn becomes mired in tedium. While the map is pretty big, traversing it is a nightmare as, and this is only a side note but the driving is shite. One of the only features I actually enjoyed with the driving, is the ability to set a waypoint and have the car auto drive. Needless to say, auto drive allowed me to cook my dinner in peace while still progressing through the map. Due to travel time and all the extra side content, getting from point A to point B becomes point A, to point Z, via points 12, 44 and Alpha. If I lost you there, there's a shit load of stuff in your way to story missions.
Not content with having your journey through Hope County be a solo one, there's a gang of followers that'll journey with you. Ranging from useless gun users to excellent doggo companions. While some of them are more useful than others (always choose team doggo), you're constantly at the mercy of the AI, and let's be honest, there are some issues with the AI.
The AI fluctuates between being as dense as black matter, to being razor sharp on the spin of a dime. More than once, I'd drop an enemy into a downed state, to then have an entire base know my exact location. It's strange, considering there's literally a stealth mechanic in the game, that Far Cry New Dawn almost wants you to be in a firefight more often than not. Sure, you can throw a rock to make Guard A move over for an easier kill, but you may as well John Wick your way through the game because inevitably you're gonna have to go guns blazing whether you like it or not.
Speaking of guns blazing, Far Cry New Dawn adds an expedition mode. Once you've plied your pilot with a small wack of ethanol, you can fly out to different locations for "prime loot". You want the good shit, well this is how you get the good shit. Once you're flown out to a location, you're tasked with grabbing a bag and getting the hell outta dodge. Now, there'll always be a large number of Highwaymen about, so stealth is the best option, or at least, it is until you grab the bag. See, this is where Far Cry New Dawn shows it's hand. You can Solid Snake your way through the location, stealth kill everyone in the surrounding area and yet, as soon as you pick up the bag of goodies, every guard starts to pay attention to the tracking device. Why our loveable hero can't just get rid of the tracking device or, better yet, take everything out of the bag is beyond me, but after a timer ticks down, all hell breaks loose and you end up in a firefight while you wait for a chopper to come save your ass.
It was in these moments that I realized I was only given the illusion of choice. It didn't matter if I'd ran through the area with a shotgun, instead of a bow and arrow, the end result would be the same and that was a massive shame to me.
Graphically, Far Cry New Dawn is impressive. The areas are lush and colorful and buildings are decrepit. The flora and fauna are beautiful to look at, but it's not without its problems. While the sheer amount of shrubbery is impressive and creates an impressive world to look at, it also ends up masking objects that you kinda want to pick up. The amount of times I'd lose the bodies of animals that I'd hunted because of the sheer density of the forests is immeasurable. Maybe that's my own issue, who knows.
Gun models are interesting, with earlier guns seemingly cobbled together with gaffa tape and random pipes. It's actually pretty fitting, as early on, you've not got the tools to even begin to create some sweet looking, high-quality weapons. To be perfectly honest, even with all the improvements to your base, you're still only really equipped with a workbench and a vice, but let's ignore that for now.
Character customization is a weird thing to include in a game where you play from a first-person perspective, but it's present in Far Cry New Dawn. You've got a fair wack of hair and beard styles, some clothing options and a few faces. Also, from completing some challenges, you can unlock more clothing options, ranging from a Unicorn outfit or even a Medival Knight outfit. I'll admit, the only times you actually see your character model if you get downed, or when you clear an outpost. It's an interesting touch, and customization is always welcomed, but every mirror is seemingly destroyed or covered up, so you'll never catch yourself in the heat of battle.
Far Cry New Dawn is an interesting game. It doesn't do anything new, or groundbreaking, but it's a mostly enjoyable open-world first-person experience. It's a shame that there are AI issues, as well as far too much content crammed into every centimeter of the game, but you can lose a few hours before succumbing to annoyance.

I've had several thoughts milling about for the last couple of weeks. I can finally think straight so that might be why. Here they are:
::thinking alot about my relationship with Eloise. She is my first born and I'm often times hardest on her. I'm sensitive to her and want to make sure that my impact on her is positive and encouraging. So if she is still peeing the bed and it's annoying to change sheets, I have to remember that she wants this just as badly as I do. No need for extra discouragement. (BTW - I've tried everything. literally everything. next might bed a bed wetting alarm, but we'll wait until she is 6)
::I've got sugar on the brain. Everyone says it's bad for you. I've heard it a trillion times. But why, what does it really do to our bodies that makes it so horrible? Addiction might be the first thing, but coffee does that too. I know everything in moderation is good and I believe that sugar falls into that category. I grew up with no sugar. Very organic without my parents calling it that. Farm raised beef, eggs, dried fruit, balanced meals, only home baked goods, etc. We only got sugared cereal on special breaks (spring break, christmas break, etc). I'm no less a sucker for sugar than the next person. So I'm not convinced that giving our kids the best food now will make them great eaters later. Not that I'm not going to give them good food, but I just don't think it seals the deal. (just my opinion, no negative comments here, I still see the value of good food, don't worry)
::in this thinking of food, it leads me to health. Eloise is at the age where she really wants to get involved in an activity/sport. I'm searching to see what might be a good start. Dance doesn't seem to be her gig (more Lily's), she really wants to ice skate though. We'll see.
::TV. Love it/hate it. I'm learning to use it wisely.
::Sam is almost 7 months and he is the cutest thing in the world to look it. He's sitting up on his own but Eloise likes to come to the rescue and help him.
::With that 7 month mark comes my deep breath time. At 8 month's old is when I finally start to take deep breaths. We made it! They are almost feeding themselves small pieces of food and showing signs of talking and uber cuteness. An independence. But still very much dependent. I do not miss those baby days one bit.
::Even though those baby days will never come again. I made the dreaded appointment for Dave. He turns white every time I mention the 'V' word. It is what it is. My family feels complete and it's good to start moving forward with life.
::thinking about signing up for a 5K, walking, of course. Running makes me want to pass out just thinking about it.
::I'm thinking about it b/c the endocrinologist I saw last week made a comment about my stretch marks when she was doing an exam of my abdomen. They are apparent and that is being kind to myself. She said, "Your husband needs to get you a tummy tuck". Not gonna lie, felt like I was 15 again and someone made a comment about how much I've "grown". Tummy tuck would be awesome b/c my stomach will never go back again, but it's life. It's having babies.

First off. Oh my word! I cannot believe she would say that to you!! Aren't health care workers supposed to have more tact than that? Sheesh!! Double sheesh!!
Second of all - I hear you on the sugar thing. Except for me, and possibly for you with your new health issues, sugar makes me moody, tired, low-energy and a whole lot of other things that I won't go into (and neither should your endocrinologist). I give my kids treats - more than I'd probably like. I love to bake for them. But I was the same - my mom would not allow pop in our house and I seriously think I love pop more because of it.
I just started a couch to 5k program. I had not exercised in 2 months after exercising at least 3 times a week for 7 years.
9 months over here. I'm content with the fact that she's not crawling yet. How did there get to be so many legos, My Little Pony accessories and pieces of chalk laying around our house all of a sudden?

I can't believe she said that!! A tummy tuck doesn't get rid of stretch marks! Man, let me know her name and remind me never to go to her.
I so agree on the sugar thing. It is just in your makeup. I was raised on heatlhy food too and one of the big reasons I couldn't wait to be an adult was that I could eat candy whenever I wanted!

If you ever, ever, ever need an ear to commisserate about the bedwetting...I am that ear.
I am only 2 years past the final nights of bedwetting, so it is still a fresh scab (and my youngest turns 14(!) next month).

no she did not say that!! how did you bite your tongue and not say something back? you are a better woman than me!
love that dave turns white - makes me giggle. i know that conversation will come up at our house one day and i am sure i will giggle then too :)
and i always knew we were friend, but your comment about running? i feel the exact same way!

Kate, we still have wet beds, so we still use pull-ups every night. It is hard to be patient.
I have to agree with previous comments. Who asked her and why in the world would she say that? That was very insensitive, at the least. I am sorry you had to experience that. I totally agree, too- my body did a great job of growing those babies, and I am not at all bothered by the signs of that experience.
We're getting a "v" too! :)

I had to gasp Kate. That is honestly so not called for in any circumstance! Very rude if you ask my. Ugggg....rude. That just seriously makes my skin crawl. Some people!!

if you ever need an ear to yell into about the bed wetting issue, i'm here for you.
it's best not to discuss it with anyone because they will just give you the ol' "oh you have to try this and it will work and life will poof back to normal" bit.
no. it won't. and that won't work. because i've tried it. a bazillion times. so shut up. :)
what works is letting them grow up and move out and make it someone elses problem!!!
sending you a dose of a "what's one more night of soaked sheets, blankets, matress covers, pillow cases, pillows and jammies" carefree attitude your way! ;)

How hot are you on... COPD?
Test your knowledge for the nMRCGP with this little GEM from GPnotebook
Test your knowledge for the nMRCGP with this little GEM from GPnotebook
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic, slowly progressive disorder characterised by airways obstruction (FEV1 < 80% predicted and FEV1/FVC ratio < 70%) which does not change markedly over several months. The impairment of lung function is largely fixed but is partially reversible by bronchodilator or other therapy. Environmental pollution and smoking contribute to the increasing incidence. COPD is an important cause of activity limitation in the population.
In which patients should the diagnosis of COPD be suspected?
NICE states that clinicians should consider a possible of diagnosis of COPD in patients who are :
• over 35
• smokers or ex-smokers
• have any of these symptoms:
– exertional breathlessness
– chronic cough
– regular sputum production
– frequent winter 'bronchitis'
– wheeze
Clinical features suggestive of asthma rather than COPD include:
• onset under age 35
• chronic productive cough is uncommon
• breathlessness is variable
• night-time waking with breathlessness and/or wheeze
• significant diurnal or day-to-day variability of symptoms.
What is FEV1?
FEV1 is the volume of air expelled in the first second of maximal forced expiration from a position of full inspiration.
FEV1 is reduced in obstructive respiratory disease (for example asthma,COPD) and restrictive respiratory disease, for example pulmonary fibrosis. FEV1 correlates with maximal exercise capacity. In normal subjects the fraction of the forced vital capacity (FVC see below) which can be expelled in one second is >80 % predicted value.
What is FVC?
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the volume of air expelled by a forced maximal expiration from a position of full inspiration. The value may be slightly less than for vital capacity (VC).
The FVC is:
• usually 3-6itresl, varying with age, gender and height
• reduced in obstructive and restrictive defects
• correlated with disability in chronic respiratory disease
The FVC is reduced in both obstructive and restrictive respiratory disease:
• in patients with airways obstruction the FEV1 is disproportionately reduced compared with the FVC, resulting in a low FEV1/FVC ratio
• in patients with restrictive pulmonary disease the FEV1 and FVC fall proportionately, resulting in normal values for FEV1/FVC
How is COPD diagnosed and classified?
If COPD seems likely, perform spirometry. Patients with COPD have airflow obstruction which is defined as:
• FEV1 < 80% predicted
• and FEV1/FVC < 0.7
If there is still diagnostic doubt, consider the following pointers:
• clinically significant COPD is not present if FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio return to normal with drug therapy.
Asthma may be present if:
• there is a >400ml FEV1 response to bronchodilators
• serial peak flow measurements show significant diurnal or day-to-day variability
• there is a >400ml FEV1 response to 30mg prednisolone daily for two weeks.
COPD is classified as mild, moderate or severe based on the patient's FEV1 compared to predicted result:
• mild; 50-80% (% of predicted FEV1), patient exhibits no clinical signs; may have little or no breathlessness; may have smoker's cough
• moderate; 30-49% (% of predicted FEV1), moderate exertion results in breathlessness (+/- wheeze); cough (+/- sputum); variable clinical signs (presence of wheezes, reduction in breath sounds)
• severe; <30% (% of predicted FEV1), breathlessness at rest or on any exertion; cough and wheeze often prominent; clinical signs include lung overinflation usual with cyanosis, peripheral oedema and polycythaemia in advanced disease, particularly during acute exacerbations.

When the body is operating quick on glycogen, primarily liver glycogen, it turns into more and more reliant on fats as a supply of energy, sparing muscle tissue. That is, it burns fats and sure byproducts of fat metabolism, similar to ketone our bodies. This benign state is called ketosis; not to be confused with ketoacidosis, which is a pathological state. There may be proof that ketosis is a more environment friendly state from a metabolic perspective (see, e.g., Taubes, 2007).
