St Lucia Snorkeling
Snorkeling in St. Lucia Day Trip
St. Lucia is rated as one of the unexploited underwater secrets in the Caribbean. With its pristine and highly diverse coral reefs, pinnacles and shipwrecks, this St. Lucia excursion offers the visitor the ideal snorkel adventure - one not to be missed!
Departing from the cruise pier area, you will be transferred to Marigot Bay for check-in at the dive shop. After receiving equipment and filling out the required waiver, you will board your boat and head out from Marigot Bay to the island's sheltered west coast. The boat may be shared by both snorkelers and divers.
Depending on the water and weather conditions that day, your captain will head for the best snorkeling and diving site. This may be anywhere from a 15 to 45 minute boat ride from the dock. Upon arrival, your captain will anchor and snorkelers will be teamed up with their guide (maximum eight guests per guide) and spend approximately the next 45-60 minutes snorkeling the crystal-clear waters of St. Lucia.
Back on board, a full lunch is served featuring an entree that might be baked chicken, fish, or pork, along with vegetables, salad, rice, or macaroni pie. This will provide some time to rest before the captain makes his way to your second snorkeling site.
At the second site of your St. Lucia tour, you will also have 45 - 60 minutes to snorkel over reefs teaming with tropical fish. After your second snorkel stop, you will make your way back to Marigot Bay and then to your cruise ship.
Average time of the tour, including transfers is 5 hours but may vary based on the snorkel sites visited that day. Snorkeling is from the boat at anchor so guests should have a general knowledge of swimming.
This St. Lucia port tour shares the same boat as the St Lucia Certified Two Tank Dive for parties wanting to split up, but be together. Certified divers should sign up for the scuba dive at the same departure time as the snorkel tour.

Did this one several years ago, had the same great dive guides of Alvin and Dylan! Preferred the stops previously, but they needed to pick up another diver in a different city.
Reviewer: Patsy E.
The team of Alvin and Dylan were great diving and snorkeling guides! We love the smaller group and great service, including lunch! The 2nd time around in April we went to different dive locations due to picking up another diver in another town. This spot was not as impressive as other locations.
Reviewer: Steve Strieffler
The weather was tough, it rained mostly all day. However the captain & crew were very friendly and helped us to make the most out of the weather. The scenery was amazing, in between the low clouds & rain. My young daughter was very hesitant to snorkel, especially in the chilly rain, and the crew took time to ensure she was happy. They even put her on a boogie board and towed her to the beach to hang out while we snorkeled. Overall, a great day and would definitely book this excursion again.

We enjoyed a second diving experience with Dive Fair Helen in October. Our previous dive with them was July 2015. Same friendly guys, same great experience. Can't wait to dive St.Lucia again next year!
Reviewer: JR
Good locations with colorful fish, sponges, and urchins. Guide did a good job of keeping track of everybody and getting people out of the water when they got cold or tired. Enjoyed the homemade feast onboard between sites. Friendly competent crew. Was able to keep diving family members and snorkelers together on the same trip/boat.

Making good grammar decisions usually requires very little grammar. If the sentence "Whom are you?" sounds wrong, it probably is. You don't need to know why. You need never have heard the term "predicate nominative" or even "object pronoun." Call it grammar autopilot.
But there are exceptions — specifics and subtleties of the language that require extensive grammar for a small payoff. The most striking example is "a while" and "awhile." To know which one to use, you need to know what a preposition is, you need to know what the object of a preposition is, you need to know what an adverbial is, and you need to know what an adverb is. That last one is harder than you may realize.
Most people would define an adverb as a word that usually ends in "ly" and describes the action in a verb, like "quickly" in "Brian ran quickly" or "happily" in "Harper sang happily." But that's not the definition of an adverb — it's just one type, called a "manner adverb" because it describes the manner in which an action took place.

SUMMARY: Response to a challenge issued several millennia ago. I think the only rule was that snow had to be involved but not generated by the holodeck! If there are more rules, let me know quickly and I'll see what I can do about incorporating them!
Dedicated to the originator of the challenge - sorry I can't remember who it was, and of course, to Caro, who mentioned it again - I blame you for getting me started on yet another story!

Chapter Three
When B'Elanna opened her eyes, her initial reaction was to pull away from her embrace with Seven. Not only was she conscious of the intimacy of the position she found herself in, she did not want to cause any unnecessary discomfort to the ex-drone. However, as she became more awake, she realised that Seven was sleeping soundly and she was reluctant to disturb her.
B'Elanna studied the Borg's face carefully, happy to do so in the knowledge that the close inspection would go undetected. Seven's features were softer now she was relaxed and B'Elanna wondered at how young the woman looked when she wasn't hiding behind a veneer of efficiency and aloofness. As her pulse increased slightly, the Klingon realised that not only did she think Seven attractive; she was indeed attracted to her. And it wasn't just a physical attraction, of that, B'Elanna was certain. In fact, she had spent her life determined never to judge someone by appearance alone, having been on the receiving end of that sort of treatment. She could discuss things with Seven on an equal footing, and their disagreements were usually down to what to do with the results of their work or how the results were obtained, not the results themselves.
If she was honest, B'Elanna had been jealous of Seven's intelligence and of her composure. The engineer still had difficulty reining in her temper and not reacting rashly. She had felt usurped by Seven's self-promoted superiority and her own self-doubts had returned to haunt her. Working closely with Seven during the mining operation had revealed the ex-drone's own insecurities. B'Elanna discovered that the younger woman was sometimes embarrassed by her lack of knowledge regarding basic manners and interaction, having relied on the Collective for so long. She hid behind an attitude of indifference that gave the appearance of arrogance when, in fact, she was probably more unsure of her position and status than B'Elanna was.
Having realised that she had misread the woman, B'Elanna was determined to rectify the way she treated her on board Voyager. By the end of the mining operation, she had begun to understand Seven's almost arid sense of humour and felt comfortable enough to not only tease the blonde, but allowed the Borg to tease back.
Had the mission ended and they returned to Voyager safely, B'Elanna was certain that she would have continued to treat the Astrometrics officer with respect and trust and perhaps the friendship that had tentatively begun during the operation could develop into something more. Now, they were stranded in a harsh environment with no communications and limited rations, and B'Elanna wasn't prepared to put any pressure on that friendship when they had to work so closely together in order to survive. It would be unfair to Seven and could have potentially disastrous consequences. B'Elanna just hoped that their enforced confinement together wouldn't put too great a strain on a relationship she already valued highly.
So lost was the Klingon hybrid in her own contemplation that she didn't notice Seven wake up. The tall blonde looked at the older woman and studied the frank emotion displayed on her face. There was a look of determined protectiveness emblazoned on her features and Seven found herself hoping that it was intended for her and not directed against her. The younger woman was captivated by B'Elanna's unique beauty. Seven had first admired the engineer for her incredible technical ability. Her innovation and lateral thinking was a totally new concept to the ex-drone and it took her some time to appreciate its value. The Klingon had not bowed down to Seven's superior knowledge but instead, argued with Seven, often reaching a better solution to problems by combining their efforts without even realising it. It was during those explosive confrontations that Seven realised that she was developing romantic feelings for the Chief Engineer. To see such passionate emotion displayed so openly entranced the tall Borg and the fact that B'Elanna treated her as an equal, allowing no quarter as far as procedures or even good manners went, meant that time spent with the woman was always a huge learning curve. A sometimes extremely frustrating learning curve, but an enjoyable one nevertheless. What she couldn't understand however, was B'Elanna's choice in partners. Lieutenant Paris was unreliable, fickle and, as far as Seven was concerned, totally unsuitable for the raven-haired woman. The Doctor had told her that love was the most illogical of emotions and followed no rules. Seven couldn't help but be relieved at the termination of B'Elanna's relationship with the helmsman but, recalling the words of the EMH, had no idea how to deal with her own emotions, much less admit them to B'Elanna. She sighed in frustration, a habit she had picked up from the dark Klingon.
B'Elanna was drawn from her thoughts instantly. She focused on the cerulean blue eyes of her companion. "Sleep okay?" she enquired softly.
"I am unpractised at sleeping, and yet I have succeeded in the task for the second time since we landed on this planet," the blonde replied.
The engineer raised her eyebrows. "I thought the Doctor and the Captain were trying to wean you off the alcove?"
"Their attempts were not successful. I suspect that it had much to do with my desire not to leave the alcove," Seven admitted.
"You would still rather use the alcove?"
"I believe it is more efficient," Seven began. She hesitated when she saw B'Elanna raise her eyebrows perceptively. "I am *used* to regenerating. I am familiar with the procedure and I do not have to work at it. Sleeping is unreliable and," she hesitated again, "difficult."
"Well you haven't had any problems so far," B'Elanna responded. She rolled her shoulder experimentally, and found that it was stiff but no longer painful.
Seven decided not to voice her opinion that the Klingon engineer's proximity was the only reason she had been able to sleep successfully, and instead concentrated on B'Elanna's injury. "May I look at your shoulder?"
"It's just stiff," B'Elanna demurred, but found herself shuffling round awkwardly in her survival bag so that Seven could examine her back.
Seven ran her hands over the healed skin carefully, noting that the area was still slightly inflamed. She couldn't tell whether the skin temperature was raised, as the whole of B'Elanna's back felt warm and the ex-drone had to force herself to concentrate on the task at hand and not savour the sensations she was experiencing from touching the other woman's back.
B'Elanna's eyes closed spontaneously and she had to bite down on a low growl that was threatening from deep inside her chest. Seven's hands danced over her shoulder and the engineer was willing them to continue their exploration. Recalling her earlier vow not to put their friendship in jeopardy, the older woman reluctantly pulled her back away from the gentle hands, but frowned as she thought she heard the ex-drone make a quiet sigh of protest as they separated. Dismissing it as wishful thinking, B'Elanna wriggled back round to face Seven, noting how flushed the normally pallid woman's face was. "Well?"
Seven frowned, flustered for a second at the enquiry after being so lost in the sensation of B'Elanna's skin. Hurriedly, she pulled her thoughts in order, remembering the original reason for the inspection. "It is not as inflamed as before, but I am concerned. The hypospray should have eliminated any infection from the wound, yet whatever is causing the problem appears tenacious."
"Yeah, well, I'm feeling better, so we'll take it that I'm on the mend," B'Elanna replied, sitting up slightly as a prompt for Seven to get up and off the sleeping ledge. The younger woman complied and they both jumped down on to the protective ground sheet, hurriedly putting on the environmental suits as they noticed the marked difference in temperature from the sleeping area and the gangway.
Seven looked at the other woman discretely as they dressed. She was confused by what had just happened. The tall Astrometrics officer was certain that B'Elanna was almost responding to her touch and not just reacting to any pain or discomfort her shoulder might have given her. And yet, just when she had made up her mind to investigate her theory a bit more thoroughly, B'Elanna had withdrawn and forced them both to get up. Now she wasn't sure if B'Elanna was distancing herself because she didn't want the attention, or if she was retreating because she did. The blonde found the emotional pull exhausting, but intriguing. No wonder humans spent so much time hypothesising on love and its variants.
Once suitably attired to combat the extreme cold again, the two women trudged back to the shuttle, taking rations with them.
"Is it me, or has the weather got worse?" B'Elanna yelled over the roar of the wind.
Seven could barely hear her, even with her enhanced auditory function and she wondered if the Klingon would hear her shouted response. "The temperature has dropped and the winds are at least twice as severe. I am not sure that it is wise to continue with repairs if the weather is closing in as it appears to be."
"We don't have any choice, Seven," the shorter woman shouted back, hunched against the force of the wind. "If we don't get sensors and comms back on line, we're dead."
Seven nodded despite knowing that B'Elanna wouldn't see the gesture. The brunette was right. If they couldn't find an alternative source of food, they would be starving within four days and they would only be halfway through the repairs needed to get comms back online.
B'Elanna squinted across the white expanse, watching the thick white flakes from the blizzard dance with the wind gusts. "Kahless, the shuttle will get buried in snow soon. We'll have to dig our way to the access hatch as it is." She shook her head. Time was precious enough without having to waste it on getting through yet more snow.
There was no point in using the phasors to cut the snow. None of it was compacted hard enough to be lifted out in blocks. Instead, the two women used their emergency spades to clear a path to the shuttle entrance. Both were breathing heavily by the time they dropped through the hatch and inside the broken craft.
"Well there's one good thing about all this snow," B'Elanna commented dryly as she brushed herself down. "At least it will help insulate the shuttle. It might even get a bit warmer in here," she finished hopefully.
"You mean -25 as opposed to -30 degrees?" Seven asked with a small grin.
B'Elanna rolled her eyes and then tried to remove some of the snow that had found its way inside the shuttle. As soon as she tried to deposit her gathered pile out of the shuttle, the fierce winds blew it, and more snow generated by the storm, back into the cockpit. Realising that the task was futile, the dark Klingon adjusted the plan and piled up the snow and ice from inside in a corner that neither of the women would need access to. With Seven's help, the task was completed swiftly and once B'Elanna was satisfied with her working area, she sat down at the console. "Seven, can you keep an eye on the time? I don't want to leave it quite so late before we stop next time, but once I get into something I just have no idea what's going on around me." The Klingon had no idea why she was justifying her request, particularly as Seven had already nodded at the query before she continued.
"It is logical B'Elanna. If we over-exert ourselves, we need to eat more rations to compensate for the excess use of muscles in keeping warm."
"It probably explains why I'm so damned tired too," the brunette muttered as she began work. "I can't remember ever sleeping so much."
"Nor can I," replied Seven, equally as softly as she continued her work on the auxiliary power conduits. B'Elanna raised her eyes and stared at the younger woman for a few seconds, wondering at the wistful tone of Seven's voice. She sent a silent prayer of thanks to Kahless that she had so much work to do. Otherwise she knew that she would be continually distracted by the other woman's presence and B'Elanna knew that she would worry continually about the distraction. There was no point wishing that they were back on Voyager where she could deal with the situation in a more controlled environment and at least could determine if Seven would be receptive to a more intimate relationship with her. All the time they were stranded here however, the Klingon would not exhort any pressure on Seven. It would not be honourable to use the situation to pursue intimacy, particularly as the ex-drone had extremely limited experience with romantic liaisons.
Within moments, the engineer had found a particularly complex problem with the communications relays and all thoughts of Seven were relegated to the back of her mind as she focused on finding a solution.
Seven glanced briefly at her colleague before starting her own work. She noticed the thoughtful look on B'Elanna's face and wondered what was occupying her thoughts. Her own centred on the last comment she had made. Seven had indeed never slept as long or as soundly as she had since their crash. At first she had put the reason down to sheer exhaustion and recovery from her injuries. Now she was not so sure. Having B'Elanna so close had relaxed and strangely comforted her. She had felt safe and protected, and yet if she had been asked if that had been a necessary requisite for sleep, she would have dismissed the notion, knowing that she was one of the strongest people on Voyager.
As she tried to analyse her feelings she came to the inevitable conclusion that it was who was sleeping next to her that made the difference. Seven's attraction to the Klingon hybrid was escalating. She had caught herself revelling in the feel of the woman's skin when she examined her shoulder earlier. Seven chastised herself. Now was hardly the best time to initiate a romantic relationship with the older woman, even if she thought that B'Elanna might return her feelings.
With a determined sigh, the tall blonde forced her mind back to the task at hand, working methodically with the power routings.
Two hours later, neither woman had moved position and had said nothing as they continued with their tasks but the silence was not oppressive. Seven looked up and decided that it was time to take a break. She stood and flexed her leg muscles, and then went to one of the holdalls to retrieve supplies. She noted with a small grimace that their emergency water rations had frozen, but she used a phasor on its lowest setting in order to return the ice back to its liquid state.
Once she had everything prepared, Seven made her way over to where B'Elanna was working and put the supplies on to a nearby console. "B'Elanna, you need a break," she called over softly.
The engineer didn't even look up, so engrossed in her work that she did not hear the other woman. Rather than call again needlessly, Seven laid a hand on the Klingon's shoulder in order to gain her attention. Her lips twitched into the tiniest of smiles as B'Elanna leapt at the touch, startled from her work. "I am sorry to disturb you, but you need to take a break," Seven explained gently.
B'Elanna looked up into the concerned eyes of her colleague and was about to embark on a long string of Klingon and human epithets when her brain registered that the ex-drone was right. "Thanks," she commented as she took an insulated cup and greedily drank the contents. She smiled ruefully as Seven sat down next to her. "I did tell you I get engrossed," she continued before taking a good-sized bite from a ration bar.
"I was well aware of that fact before we undertook this mission," Seven rejoined, also eating.
B'Elanna wiped a hand over her brow as she leant back in her seat. "Are you sure that the snow isn't insulating the shuttle. It feels damned hot in here," she complained, drawing another long draft of water.
Seven narrowed her eyes as she looked at the older woman. She noticed that B'Elanna was looking flushed and could see tiny beads of sweat forming on her forehead. "The current temperature in the shuttle is -26 degrees. It is 4 degrees warmer than the temperature outside but that is not a sufficient rise for you to feel hot," she remarked, snatching a tricorder from one of the workstations and running it in front of B'Elanna.
The Klingon frowned as she studied Seven's face, trying to read her emotions. "What's wrong?"
"I am not certain. Remove the upper part of your suit."
B'Elanna snorted. "Jeez Seven, I usually get a date out of someone before I follow that sort of order," she commented dryly and was quietly delighted to see the younger woman flush furiously at her implication.
"I need to examine your shoulder again," the blonde explained, stammering slightly and inwardly cursing herself for her lack of control.
B'Elanna smirked but refrained from commenting as she shrugged the suit from her shoulders. The movement invoked a jolt of pain across her back and the raven-haired woman sobered immediately as she realised that something was wrong. A sharp hiss of surprise from Seven alarmed her even more. "What?"
Seven did not answer immediately but methodically scanned B'Elanna's back, trying to make sense of the readings.
"What?" The Klingon repeated more aggressively, her concern rising. She tried to twist her head round to try and read Seven's expression but found that the action produced another wave of pain. She spun her whole body round instead.
"The infection has spread," Seven intoned, trying to keep her voice neutral. She tried her hardest, but her eyes betrayed her and they drifted downward to view the swell of B'Elanna's breasts, covered by her grey tank top.
The Klingon didn't appear to notice Seven's distraction. "Spread? I thought you gave me something to get rid of the infection. What the hell is going on?" B'Elanna's voice continued to rise as her concern grew.
"I am uncertain. It is difficult to extrapolate results from an ordinary tricorder," Seven hedged, focusing on the readout in an effort to keep control on her wayward optical senses.
"So the infection is why I feel so hot?" B'Elanna persisted. She rolled her shoulders again, wincing as the movement provoked more discomfort.
"I believe so. We need to ascertain the cause of the infection before a more appropriate treatment can be concocted."
B'Elanna could see that Seven was worried and noticed that the ex- drone fell back on more formal speech patterns in order to hide her emotions.
"All the medical kit is back at the shelter," B'Elanna commented, trying to work things through logically while she was physically capable. "If you can complete the power coupling repairs, I think I can have the sensors back on line in the next hour. Let's at least achieve one thing before we return to the shelter and then you can play nurse to your heart's content," she suggested.
"I believe that we should return now, Lieutenant. Your well-being should not be placed below the repair of equipment," Seven demurred.
"My well-being won't count for anything if we can't find food and get comms back up and running," the engineer objected. "And let's be honest. You're not a doctor. There's no guarantee that we'll be able to counter the infection anyway. I might as well work now while I can still function within normal parameters," B'Elanna continued, a small grin on her face as she finished her statement.
Seven nodded as she recognised the logic in B'Elanna's argument. "One more hour," she conceded. "But regardless of the state of repair, we will return to the shelter after that."
The Klingon raised her eyebrows at the forcefulness of Seven's statement but knew that fighting Seven would only distract them from continuing the repairs. She sat back down and was about to start work again when she felt the blonde's cool hand on her shoulder. "What now?"
"I know you are feeling hot, but you need to keep your environmental suit on. Your body will not tolerate such cold temperatures," Seven pointed out reasonably.
B'Elanna grumbled but tugged the suit back over her shoulders and zipped the garment up. Wiping her face again, the brunette studied the console for a few seconds before re-commencing repairs. Seven watched her with concern. B'Elanna's body temperature had risen significantly. For her not to notice her state of partial undress was worrying. Seven continued her work on the power coupling assembly, ensuring that she checked on the engineer frequently.
Forty-five minutes later Seven saw B'Elanna lift her head up in triumph. She arched an eyebrow expectantly and waited for the Klingon to make her announcement.
"Sensors are back on line, Seven. It's only short-range but we'd never be able to go exploring any further than that anyway," she explained enthusiastically.
The tall blonde nodded appreciatively. "I concur. It would be wise to initiate scans now. I am uncertain how long my repairs to the power supplies will last," she admitted.
B'Elanna shook her head in disbelief, caught up in the excitement of having accomplished what she had set out to do. "If you've made the repairs, they'll hold," she retorted confidently, grinning as her slender fingers drove the console to begin scanning. "But I'm not sure how long the rest of the circuitry will remain functional. It all took a battering when we landed." She made a few final adjustments before looking up. "Seven I need your help," she called out and waited for the ex-drone to join her at the workstation. "If I do a rapid initial sweep of the area, can you monitor the results and record anything that might need a lengthier scan? That way we can keep the scan to a minimum and focus on areas that might provide the results we need."
Seven nodded. "Proceed," she instructed once she was settled just behind B'Elanna's body. The blonde looked over the seated woman's shoulder at the screens in front of them. Sharing the same console meant that there was less strain on the already limited power supplies and it also gave each woman the excuse of secretly savouring the other's closeness.
B'Elanna commenced the rapid scan and paused the operation once a 360- degree sweep had been performed. She looked up expectantly at the woman standing behind her.
Seven quickly pointed out two potential areas that needed probing further and the engineer made the necessary adjustments before starting the sweep again, this time setting the scanner to retrieve more detailed information about the local area surrounding them.
"It would appear that there is limited vegetation and fauna present in the mountain ranges to the north of our location," Seven surmised once the scans completed their work.
B'Elanna nodded. "Yeah, but it's pretty steep terrain. I'm not sure that we've gained anything other than a tantalising glimpse into what is unobtainable around us." Her earlier enthusiasm for the project had dissipated as she studied the route needed to get into the mountains. "There's no way we'd be able to scale those mountains while the weather is so severe," she demurred.
Seven stared at the view screen as she contemplated the older woman's words. "I should be able to retrieve supplies, Lieutenant," she stated confidently.
B'Elanna was having none of it. "I don't think so. You're not going up there alone. It's too dangerous." She held up a hand to quell the protest that Seven was about to form. "And don't deny that you think it's dangerous. You addressed me by my rank. If that doesn't tell me you're concerned about the trip, nothing does." She wiped her brow again as sweat began to trickle down her face.
"It would be difficult," Seven conceded. "But not impossible. However, with your shoulder injury, it would not be viable for you to accompany me." The blonde tried again. She knew that B'Elanna would not be well enough to negotiate the mountainous terrain, but Seven knew unequivocally that supplies had to be procured somehow.
"Then we'll have to wait until the storm blows itself out," B'Elanna replied. "You have to admit that we stand a better chance of survival if we stick together," she pressed.
"In ordinary circumstances yes," Seven replied cautiously. B'Elanna emitted an exclamation of triumph but the ex-drone continued, ignoring the interruption. "But these are hardly `normal' circumstances. Even if the weather abates, your injury is debilitating you. The expedition would take an unacceptable amount of time."
B'Elanna could feel anger rising deep from within her but somehow managed to keep it in check. Exhaling deeply, her voice shook slightly as she continued to hold back her temper. "And if you don't return because you couldn't negotiate the terrain single-handed, my situation wouldn't change. It's better if we go together after we wait for the storm to die down." She stood up suddenly and retrieved the water canteen, once again having to defrost it with a blast from a phasor. She used the time to control her emotions. The older woman was furious that Seven would question her capability but in the recesses of her mind, she knew that Seven had a point, even if she had been rather blunt with it.
The raven-haired Klingon gulped the liquid voraciously before handing the receptacle to Seven and waited for the younger woman to take a drink before continuing. "How long would it take to get up the mountains?" she asked quietly.
Seven looked up sharply. She hadn't anticipated that question. After assessing the results from the scans and factoring in the weather Seven answered. "If the storm dies down, it would take nine hours to scale the terrain. It is impossible to estimate how long the foraging for supplies would take, as I have no idea of the nature of the local fauna. Getting back down would take approximately 2 hours longer due to the awkwardness of carrying extra supplies and the difficulty of the terrain."
"Twenty hours minimum if you go alone. That's one whole day of being separated." B'Elanna swallowed. "You can't tell me that it's safe for us to be apart for that long." She glanced at the ex-drone, daring her to interrupt but Seven remained silent. "We have at least two days worth of food left. I know it's risky to wait but there's still work to be done on the shuttle. None of it will be wasted time."
Seven studied the shorter woman for a few moments before replying. B'Elanna was uneasy about the situation. In fact, if Seven didn't know her better, she would have said that she was scared, though the willowy blonde was at a loss to determine why. She nodded curtly. "Very well, B'Elanna. We will wait one day and then reassess the situation tomorrow." Seven conceded. "But now it is time to return to the shelter." She began to gather their belongings but frowned as she saw the engineer still hunched over the console. "B'Elanna, we need to stop now," she emphasised.
The brunette looked up and nodded her agreement. "I know, but it makes sense to load the sensor results into our tricorders just in case there is some sort of corruption of the data storage units while we're away."
Seven nodded and took responsibility for collecting all their supplies while B'Elanna hurriedly completed her task.
Seven deliberately handed B'Elanna the lighter of the two holdalls, knowing that it would be painful for the Klingon to carry the bag. She had been tempted to carry both bags but decided that the engineer would be affronted by the inference that she was weak and in all probability over-react to her offer of assistance. As they headed back to the shelter, Seven took the lead, setting a steady pace as she hunched over in a futile attempt to get any protection from the still raging storm. Every so often, she would glance back to ensure that the brunette was following.
As she trudged along, Seven wondered how she could convince the half- Klingon that it would be more logical if she ascended the mountains alone. B'Elanna had already reacted in a typical knee-jerk fashion. However, the ex-drone was not convinced that B'Elanna would be any more susceptible to logic after they had rested and warmed up in the shelter. B'Elanna's stubbornness was a cause of great frustration to Seven. It wasn't as if she was questioning the engineer's physical prowess or her skills. She was acutely aware of the other woman's attributes. It was those attributes that kept distracting the Astrometrics officer while she was working in the shuttle. It had taken all her willpower to concentrate on the power couplings.
As she continued her inner monologue, Seven realised that she just wanted to protect the older woman, particularly as she was injured. It was by no means certain if the Borg could find a cure for the insidious infection that raged in B'Elanna's body so getting additional food supplies was essential.
Seven realised that it was ironic that she wanted to protect the tenacious Klingon. B'Elanna was one of the few people on Voyager who could come close to the ex-drone's strength. She also recalled the look B'Elanna had directed at her when she had awoken earlier. It would appear that they both wanted to look after each other. The tall blonde wondered whether the motives behind each other's intentions were similar.
She sighed to herself and bent deeper into the howling wind. She was over-analysing again. And her thoughts were going nowhere other than round in circles. She wondered how `human' it made her. Seven continued to trudge through the snow and picked up the pace as she identified the outline of the shelter and headed for it. She could see that the entrance had been partially blocked by the snow and ice blown around by the storm and frowned. They would have more digging to do before they could rest.
The tall blonde looked back to tell B'Elanna of the situation but the words stuck in her throat.
B'Elanna was some way behind her had sat down in a large drift of snow and had peeled off her environmental suit and was rubbing snow onto the back of her neck. Even as Seven began to hurry over to where the Klingon sat, B'Elanna keeled over, unconscious for the second time in as many days.

Welllll . . . it's been a coupla weeks, let me tell YOU.
My notice at work was two weeks long, as is typical. The first week of it, I tried to stick to billing 7 or less hours a day (my typical day is 9-10 billed, plus a bit of nonbillable). We have to bill 5 hours each workday, or else use a vacation day (so if you bill 4.9 hours, you have to use a full 8 hours of vacation that day. Obvs nobody ever does that, but it's the rule.) So, I carefully plotted out all of my final assignments and case transitioning, in order to get everything done with the minimal amount of hours-at-work. After five full years in practice, with a billables requirement of about 2000, I'm weary and I wanted to maximize my chill before starting at a tougher firm. I was under-billing these last two weeks but what are they gonna do – fire me? Amirite? I exercised, I played guitar, I hung out with Craiggers. One morning I actually ran Craig to school in the stroller – a mistake actually, as what I thought would be 4.5 miles turned out to be 7.5. The distance was fine but it took way longer than I'd planned, so I didn't get to work til 10:30. Other days I'd get up and run with him at 6:30 for about an hour, which after shower and daycare drop-off would put me at work at about 9:15 or so, and WHO CARES!! WEEEEE!! I'd leave every day at 5 to pick him up, and it was very freeing to have a 9-5 schedule, however briefly.
WELL. Thursday Craig woke up a little listless with a very mild fever, so I kept him home. I billed a bit from home, and didn't worry about missing that day too much, given my status. Friday he seemed fine, so I dropped him off at daycare and headed in. The partner I work for most asked me to go to a lunch with him, and so I billed a few hours and then we went and had some really good sushi and talked about case transitions and it was overall very nice. (Side note – I did a really dumb thing and somehow put my SUNGLASSES on to look at the menu, instead of my regular glasses, and didn't notice somehow, which tells you how non-strong my prescription is. In any case, once I realized how dumb I looked, I mumbled a lie that they were prescription sunglasses even though they clearly weren't, and I will be blushing about that minor dumb moment for a while!)
So we're eating and chatting and it's going really well and then I get a text – Craig threw up. Ugh. So the partner drops me back at my car and says "have a good weekend" and I go get Craig, dose him with Tylenol, and settle in for a long weekend of just me and sick baby.
He wakes Saturday feeling fine, and we head to a birthday party, thinking the worst has passed, but he will not let go of me and clings to me throughout, so we leave early. An hour later, he has a 102 fever, which lasts all day Saturday. He has a 102 fever all day Sunday (I bring it down with meds, but as soon as they wear off it's right back up). He wakes up drenched in sweat at night, as the fever cycles in and out, breaking and then returning. Every day it continues, I get a little more anxious and nervous, and first thing Monday morning when he wakes up still at 102, I call his ped and make a sick child appointment. I won't be going to work Monday, but manage to get some things done from home til his late morning appointment.
At our appointment, the doc checks his ears, throat, and does a strep test – no problems, so the doc sends us to the hospital to draw some labs. Feverish and clingy, Craig weeps pitifully through the blood draw but screams in fury and terror through the mono test (which is a swab shoved way down the nose). He leaves smothered in stickers, and the fever continues. The doctor calls me later that afternoon and says the labs don't show anything worrying, and we should hang out another day or two and see if he improves. Tuesday the fever goes in and out, he seems to be feeling a little better and the fever is lower, but still there. I take him to work for a couple of hours because Good Lord, this is my last week and there goes my carefully plotted timeline for transitioning my 30+ cases. This is what happens when a mom tries to relax and not work ahead, for ONCE IN HER LIFE. I'll never do it again, God, I promise.
Tuesday night he's feverish all night, and wakes Wednesday at 102. Back to the ped we go, who sends us to the hospital again for a chest xray and urinalysis. All of this takes hours, of course, and I'm running out of time go do what I have to do to get closed out at work by Friday. I have to pack up the office, write three briefs, have transition meetings, etc., and Craig doesn't look like he's going to get better anytime soon. Oh, and meanwhile, Tropical Storm Cindy is bearing down on us, and everything (daycare, camps, many stores) closes in anticipation. (Although it turns out to be mostly a dud, I do have to drive through some wild-ish wind and flooded streets to get him to the hospital Wednesday.)
So Wednesday after his x-ray, he gets diagnosed, at last, with pneumonia. The doc prescribes an antibiotic, Craig takes his first dose Wednesday night and goes to bed with a fever, but wakes up Thursday without one. He's been fever free since then – coughing terribly, but that's to be expected. The doc said that as long as the fever is gone, that means the antibiotic is working, so hurrah. You'll note that by this point we are up to the last Thursday of my two week notice, and I've managed to work only 4 full days in that whole time.
I got a sitter (expensive, good Lord) to watch him half day Thursday and half day Friday, and I just . . . crammed absolutely every thing in that I could, into those two half days. I threw all my personal stuff into boxes (I filled 10 of those boxes that the reams of paper come in – I'm a nester). I skimmed through the crap on my computer to make sure I emailed myself all of my personal documents. I spooled out some draft briefs like it was my job – two replies (only 10 pages each and not so hard), plus finishing up one motion for summary judgment, some initial disclosures, some discovery responses . . . I was a machine, getting everything done and pushed out so my clients wouldn't be screwed – since I carry the water on the bulk of these cases and frankly, no one else knows what's happening with them. It was a tremendously stressful way to close out that job – anxious about my baby's health, barely able to work at all given his illness, people wondering where the hell I was – no vacation time to spend on these last few days and so forced to try to bill 5 hours every day in between hospital visits, etc. Just awful. I walked away Friday afternoon thoroughly exhausted, and I'm still not fully recovered. The house is kind of a wreck, as I've been trying to work from home so much with Craig in my hair and thus he's kind of had his way with toys, etc. Nevertheless I could not face dealing with it today. Craig has barely eaten due to his illness, so I haven't eaten much either, and I don't feel like making a real dinner. I just need to flop, to process this transition, to rest, and to binge on Orange is the New Black for a day or two, before I tackle the house. We've been grazing on fruit and peanut butter and crackers, except one memorable evening, when Craig asked for "menge-tables" to make his tummy feel better, which I made for him (just frozen mixed veg).
We survived, but it was awful – mostly the worrying about what the heck was wrong with him. It caused a draining low grade anxiety that made everything harder – as did our total lack of sleep, as he was needy through those hot feverish nights. But the fever's gone, he's feeling and looking perky, he's sleeping extremely well, and I'll be right as rain tomorrow.
I've made plans for us to go to a friend's house for dinner tomorrow night, another friend is coming over for porch wine Monday night, and I'm doing lunch with a friend Tuesday. Filling up the social calendar, trying to enjoy a couple days where I don't have to check email every five seconds.
When the boys come back I'll go back to making dinners – I definitely miss eating them – but for now Craig and I are making do with what's in the back of the pantry. I've had Craig basically 24/7, with only a few interruptions, for ten days in a row now. Looking forward to some kid-free time next week, in my own house, to rest and recharge for the next adventure.

For those who wish to explore the real treasures of Kerala, here we go with the list of places to visit in Cochin. Beaches and backwaters, tea plantations and spice estates, hot steaming appams with stew and vibrant Kathakali performances – these and much more epitomise the God's Own Country, Kerala on the global tourism map.
However, Cochin stands out. Cochin has an altogether different signature – history and tradition woven together with modernization. The tourist places in Cochin, especially the best ones, are absolutely captivating, and sure to leave you with a bag full of beautiful memories and aspirations.
History of Cochin
Before starting with the list, let's share a brief history of Kochi, previously and more popularly known as Cochin. It is an important port of south-west coast of India and was once a significant spice trading hub. If we go back to history, we see Greek, Roman, Portuguese, Arabic and Jewish settlements in Cochin for trade and commerce purposes. The city is also referred to as Ernakulam.
Today, Cochin stands as an important city and tourist place in Kerala. It is also popular with tourists heading South for religious tour. Each one of the mesmerizing places to visit in Cochin has some kind of historical and colonial significance to it.

There are two other temples of Shiva and Krishna inside the palace. Also the collection of frescos and paintings covering a large portion of the palace walls is worth seeing. However, don't restrict to the interiors of the palace. Take in the beauty of its famous sprawling gardens and manicured lawns, that earned it a spot among the best tourist places in Kochi.
Opening hours: 10 am to 5 pm. In between, the palace is closed from 1 pm to 2 pm for lunch. The Palace is closed on every Friday. Plan accordingly.
Entry fee: INR 2 per head. Yeah, read again to believe.

He's a mountain man at heart
4 comments:
Oooo the shedding!!! Russ loves huskies but the fact that they're brilliant and super high energy (see: wolves and German shepherds) we passed. Dogs like that really are a lifestyle because they take so much effort, but on the flip side if you're willing to put in that much dedication you will have an amazing dog! Any hunting breed would be a good protective dog (if trained right! ) we would still love to own a weimerainer! (The pup we had at stone brook) just need to have the time to train it and find one that's actually healthy :/ReplyDeleteReplies
Steven and I are both so excited to get a dog that is more high energy like you said. I was a little intimidated at first but we have so many places to hike and walk around here plus i'm still running and would love a partner, we always are wanting to do more outside, i'm not worried about physically keeping up with their needs. We've also been looking into training programs and researching the breeds non-stop for months. We for sure are not taking the decision lightly :) I am not too excited for the shedding though. That seems to be one of the only downers we can find right now. And it's something I can live with...i think. haha. Your Weimerainer was adorable but yes, for a small apartment during a rexburg winter. yikes. no room to run so they start getting curious and devious :) Abby even started misbehaving! if you can believe that? haha. and for sure making sure they are healthy! it adds up so fast if they get sick!Delete
A lady in our ward in St. Goerge just got mauled by a half-wolf half-husky. I'd be really nervous about the wolf part, especially around kids. But that might be just me and dogs in general :)ReplyDeleteReplies
That is so sad. Husky dogs are actually one of the most vicious/most likely to attack breeds out there. I'm not too surprised that a half husky half wolf would attack someone. yikes. We're for sure not taking it lightly though. Steven has been doing a ton of research on the German/Wolf breed before we make final decisions. I guess they have been breeding the two for a while and only with wolves that have dog-like qualities, (aka non aggressive/loyal) They breed only the gentle wolves together to create very even tempered lines of wolves, if one starts showing signs of aggression or anything like that they will no longer use that wolf to breed. The only thing they want to transfer over from the wolves to the germans is their speed and endurance. Some breeders have amazing reviews of wonderful dogs that look a little more wolf-like, have the strength and endurance of a wolf but the loyalty and temperament of a German. There are always bad breeders who don't use the lines they should but hopefully we can find a good breeder and a good mix. otherwise we for sure won't go through with it. Steven's beard/washington/mountain man just couldn't resist when he found out they were real though :) it's actually an AKC registered breed though, so hopefully we can find a good certified and well bred addition to our family :)Delete

Ok, now that the excitement is over from Alabama, I can finally finish up my Trip 5 post from two weekends ago.
This trip was the best one we had ever had. Since we're doing the trips within some kind of close frequency, our endurance levels are definitely getting up there. At the end of this one, we even took a detour to try to pick up some missed neighborhoods because we had so much energy left.
Anyway, here is the route we took.
The day started out with a knock at the door. It was Drew. My alarm didn't go off. I apologized, rushed around and got ready, printed out maps, and we left about 20 minutes later.
We decided to remedy three mistakes we made on the last 30-miler. The first was the butt soreness. We both went out and bought $70 bike shorts to wear under our regular shorts (we're a little self-conscious). The second was sunscreen, but it was cloudy and threatening rain, so we didn't bother. The third was extra water, which we brought. And the last was to actually draw the neighborhood boundaries on my printed out map so that we won't have a repeat of last time of not actually being in the neighborhood.
It was long straight ride all the way down cavalcade before we turned on Hirsch, and it wasn't long before we at #48 Trinity/Houston Gardens.
So far no rain
As we get further and further out, we have to deal with fewer and fewer bike-friendly roads as we leave the marked bike path area. I anticipated this and had us drive through many neighborhood roads to stay off the main thoroughfares with fast vehicles and no room for bikes.
We went north to #47 East Little York/Homestead. It would have been very easy to snap a photo of Little York road, the major street through the neighborhood, but I was really trying not to do that. So we went all the way up to Homestead Barber Shop. One of the patrons or possibly the owner was standing outside. We threw the "scavenger hunt" excuse at him (which works very well) and he smiled and said go ahead and take the picture. I had a great impression of this neighborhood. It's and older, nicer, black neighborhood (82% black). This is basically where the poorer people from inside the loop come to when they can afford it.
I was very tempted to get a haircut at this point
Next we took some more neighborhood roads and went over our first of many 80 foot railroad crossing bridges. We went past an elementary school where East Houston middle school was supposed to be. Right as we were about to turn around and look again, I spotted this sign for #49 East Houston.
There was a guy behind me that didn't pay much notice
We took a wrong turn (but still in the right general direction) and it wasn't long before we were at the small community of #50 Settegast. I had planned to go the Settegast apartments further down, but a "Welcome to..." sign always gets more cool points.
I'm willing to bet that civic club isn't so new anymore.
So that was it. We hit the four that I had planned to hit and we started riding back to Cavalcade. The next picture shows you what much of the area near Cavalcade and Homestead looks like. Plus I had to get at least one pic with Drew in it.
There was an eerie sound coming from out west, like a whistling ghost or something
After we had a medicore breakfast at a donut place at Cavalcade, I said to Drew "I still have a lot of energy... we only have 6 miles left." He said, "yeah me too." I can't remember whose idea it was, but we decided that we were so close to 5th ward, that we would give it another shot. On the way into 5th ward we went over our 3rd railroad bridge for the day. At least this one had an awesome view.
Drew, trains, and Houston.
I love this town!
So when we were on our way all the way to nearly I-10 to see Fifth Ward Library, this sign caught my eye right as we entered #55 Fifth Ward. It wasn't too far from the library, but it did save us a few blocks. At this point it was getting really sunny and we regretted not listening to ourselves and putting sunscreen on. I ended up a little burned at the end of the day.
Take two successful
Not knowing exactly which way I was going to Northside, we went back over the train bridge (my legs were finally starting to get tired after that one) and took a left on Liberty. As we were riding along, trying not to stare at all the poor people that were loitering on the street and giving us dirty looks, we turned the corner and saw a crowd of people and flashing police lights. Given the location we were in, we assumed the worst. As we got closer, we saw a podium with a City of Houston and a bunch of well-dressed people sitting in chairs. It turns out it was a dedication ceremony for a new historical marker for "Frenchtown". I asked Drew if he wanted to stop, and he said sure. It was a really great presentation, with live Zydeco music and accounts of residents who had lived in the area nearly 80 years. City councilman Jarvis Johnson was there, as well as a representative from Sheila Jackson-Lee's ofice. It's a good thing we went back the bridge way!
Jarvis Johnson speaking
Right after the unveiling
Closer picture with all the politicians and organizers.
After the great break listening to music and watching a historical marker be unveiled, we continued on to find Northside Baptist Church. The first church we went to (where my map said Northside Baptist was) was actually called something else. Drew took the woman's way out and asked a guy there if he knew were it was. I have to admit it beat spending 5 minutes looking it up on my phone. We went down 5 blocks and saw it. Unfortunately, it was not in Northside Village, but it was still in Fifth Ward. I though Jensen Dr. was the border, but I was mistaken.
If only I knew, I wouldn't be smiling.
Even after we were riding back, we passed a construction sign that said Northside on it. But we didn't stop because I thought we already had it. We'll just have to do take 3 this weekend when we go out to the Galena Park area (way out east).
We took a break and grabbed a celebratory beer at Onion Creek on the way back, and were home just before noon, when it started really raining. The final distance for the trip was 31.4 miles
We're now up to a total of 29 super neighborhoods totalling 89.2 miles on the bicycle.
Next trip is trip 6 on Sunday, all the way to the furthest reaches East and back.
I've re-routed the proposed trips, because of our increasing fitness levels. So take a look at the changes as http://careyj.com/sn/ We're now down to 12 trips instead of 13.

Ok, I have to start off by telling some great news! As the majority of the opera web people know Joyce DiDonato has started a project called Joyce and Me so that her fans can help her produce her 10th year anniversary double CD with her record company. As I am a good fan girl when she gave the fans the first task I was quick to get on there to leave my opinion. She wanted suggestions for the CD name, immediately what came to my mind was ReJoyce, simply because it's perfect! But a lot of other people also suggested that one and it was indeed the name that ended up winning the competition with 47% of the votes! And as Joyce is a terrific human being, in the video she thanked EVERYONE who had send the ReJoyce suggestion, first of all my friend Sydney, then Jamie and Aksel and most surprisingly ME! Yes, she said my name in one of her fantastic videos, it's there for all the world to see. She mispronounced my last name but WHO CARES? Everyone mispronounces my last name anyways! So I'm really happy and YAY!
So, as I promised long ago I should probably post my La Boheme RENT project, first act, because it's really really long so, here we go!
Both pieces begin in the same place, the old apartment Marcello/Mark and Rodolfo/Roger share. The similarities begin to appear from that point on, in both cinematographic productions of both pieces the apartments look very much alike. One room apartments, big windows, a lot of old furniture and disorganization and dirt in general.
|Image from La Boheme's 2008 movie
|Image from the 2004 RENT movie
Both first scenes are set in the same date in time of year, Christmas Eve, showing that even on festive times the life of some people is quite miserable. While in La Boheme Marcello, the painter, paints a picture of the Red Sea, in RENT Mark starts filming his new documentary film. Both characters work with visual arts and try and show through it how the world really is. That is more evident in Mark's work since he's making a documentary about the life of the people who live in Alphabet City (that could easily be a correspondent of the Latin Quarter from La Boheme in Paris, where artists lived in the end of the 19th century, a place also infested with poverty). But Marcello himself in his first line shows a bit of rebellion towards a government figure when he says "Per vendicarmi, affogo un Faraon!" (And so to avenge myself, I'll drown a Pharaoh)
Now Rodolfo is more reflective about things, just like Roger he can't seem to do his art, they both seem hollow without much to live for. It is really one of those frightfully cold December days and since Rodolfo and Marcello don't have money for firewood to keep themselves warm. Something very similar happens in RENT since all of a sudden they lose power and are consequently without heating. In La Boheme Marcello and Rodolfo decide to burn Rodolfo's play, act by act to warm themselves and agree not to burn the paintings since they leave an awful smell when burnt. But Mark's creations are not spared from the firewood in RENT and he and Roger burn his screenplays as well as Roger's old posters from when he was famous.
Exerpt from the La Boheme libretto (Rip it! Now light it! Rodolfo sets fire to part of the manuscript, then they both pull up their chairs, sit down and warm themselves in the voluptuous heat)
|Exerpt from RENT's opening number "RENT"
|Image from La Boheme's 2008 movie
|Image from the 2004 RENT movie, featuring Adam Pascal as Roger (left) and Anthony Rapp as Mark (right)
While Rodolfo's play burns, Colline, a philosopher, arrives and we learn at this very moment that it is indeed Christmas Eve in Colline's line "In giorno di vigília non si accettano pegni!" (No one will accept pledges, on the day of Christmas Eve!). In RENT Collins makes it to the building door but is attacked by robbers who steal his coat and beat him up. And because of that Collins and Angel actually meet and she helps him get on his feet. Collins and Angel would be the equivalent of Colline and Schaunard, the philosopher and the musician. But unlike in La Boheme, where these characters know each other and are friends, in RENT this is their first encounter who fall in love at first sight.
And so the characteristics of one character of La Boheme start going to more than one character in RENT. Collins and Angel represent one side of Rodolfo and Mimi's relationship, the tender and loving side. And what is more interesting, and at the time of RENT's premiere polemic, is that the musical shows that a homosexual couple can have a normal relationship just like any other couple. Moreover that the beautiful side of one of the most famous couples in opera history can be revitalized in a same sex couple.
Back to the story, after the total destruction of Rodolfo's play, Schaunard, the musician, arrives. And he does so filled with food, firewood, wine and cigarettes. He then tells how he was able to buy all those things, an English lord was in need of a musician and Schaunard presented himself thinking he would be giving music lessons. But the Lord actually wanted him to play until his parrot died, and so he played for 3 whole days and the animal was still alive. But he was lucky to get into the maid's good graces, she prepared a paste with poison and after giving it to the animal it finally died. In RENT the story repeats itself, since a millionaire from Manhattan makes a deal with Angel that if she played her drums until her neighbor's dog died she'd be more than well remunerated. And so after an hour of incessant drumming the dog finally gives in and throws itself off the twenty third floor.
Wow, I'm really tired, I'm gonna make it a day and post the second part from the first act later. I'm not really in a very Boheme vibe; I can't actually stop listening to Eugene Onegin, very different stuff haha

The "RS" is derived from its founder, Reinhold Schlegelmilch, but it was the work of his sons, Arnold and Ehrhard that made the mark famous. With factories in Suhl and Tillowitz, a majority of their production was exported from 1892 until the beginning of World War I. The Suhl factory closed before the end of World War I; the Tillowitz factory remained operational until the beginning of World War II.
This fabulous hot chocolate pitcher, circa 1900-1920, is decorated with large white rose blossoms surrounding the pitcher and nestled among pastel, shaded green foliage against a white background. The shoulder and spout is solid gold gilt, the handles decorated with an deco-style gold design and gold trim on the lid, handles and around the base of the pitcher. The pitcher measures 8 1/2" in height, 3 1/4"" across the base and 7 1/4" from spout-to-handle. The pitcher is stamped in green with the "R.S. Germany" mark and 'Handpainted", which refers to the gold ornamentation as the floral decoration is a transfer. There are no cracks, chips or repairs; the tiny tab catch on the inside of the lid has been broken off (see photo). A beautiful piece of porcelain.

Trouble of adventure CHAPTER 3, the plan of destruction
The plan, an enormous shuttle armed with a giant laser. The laser pointed to the moon. I gulped. "Oscar! They're going to blast the moon to pieces!" I screamed. I stared at the large paper. It was actually a letter.
Thomas wastron
Pigbill close
Unknown land
Sr4 7h1
Dear Mr. Hilton,
I would like to inform you about the progress of the shuttle. It is nearly done. The workers only need to make the engine and fit in the laser. Other than that, the shuttle is all going to plan. The laser will need a syrcalmock drive to make it work. We have found a location where there is a powerful syrcalmock drive.
The location is at the building site near Glasgow. Be there, we have to hurry. The moon will be in the right place at 7:45 at Friday.
Thomas wastron,
"It's Wednesday today!" we shouted. We packed our bags, "Oscar, you go to Thomas wastron's house and I'll go to the building site in Glasgow." I said. "OK Joseph" said Oscar. We ran outside and that's where we slpit. We were going to meet at the pub.
Continue of chapter 3, Joseph's adventure,
I ran to the road and got a taxi. It was quite boring waiting in the taxi but it was ok. Once I reached the building site. I jumped off the taxi and slammed the door. I peered through the fence and saw a huge battery on the floor.
That was the syrcalmock drive. I took my knife and cut through the fence. Then, a builder stared at me. Then, other builders stared at me. I had a bad feeling about it. After a few minutes, they started chasing me! I ran into a nearby shop. I huddled in a jumper to hide me. I heard a few builders step inside and look for me. I heard one say "He's not in here, maybe on the other one" while I held my breath. When they were gone, I took a great sigh. As I opened the door, the builders were not in sight. I raced to where the hole was then climbed through.
I slid down to reach the drive. While grabbing the syrcalmock drive, I pulled as hard as I could. It took me ten minutes to move it a centimetre. I was about to give up but then I saw a crane. I hopped inside and pulled some switches. It took the drive up and into the sewers. That would have held it off. I took the taxi again and went straight to the pub.
Continue of chapter 3, Oscar's adventure,
So, sneaking into a house would be awesome, but do not try this ever, I'm only doing this because I'm trying to save the world. Now, I arrived at his house. I sneaked into the basement and looked around. I then tiptoed upstairs; I heard Mr. Hilton and Thomas wastron talking to each other. They were saying about the crime in the Concrete building…
"There was a commotion"
"What commotion?"
"Someone broke into the building and stole the blueprints!"
"We must find it or the plan to destroy the moon will be over!"
. I crawled pass them and found an office. There was thousands of paper. I took two pieces of paper and took a look at the laptop. Immediately, Thomas walked into the office. I grabbed the laptop and Jumped through the window. I landed in a pile of leaves. As fast as I could, I raced to the pub.
They were catching up with me, I jumped over a fence and raced down the hill. I stopped and hid inside a crate. They looked around. Then, they left. I jumped up and ran to the pub
Near end of chapter 3, together
We had never seen anything like it .We ate our sandwiches while looking at it. The papers contained very special information. It was…

You have decided that you want to take advantage of the boom in truck driving careers. However, be extremely prudent before you make truck driving a career, since truck driving is not an easy profession. You need to qualify the stringent measures required by the Federal government if you want to be a professional truck driver. Earning a Commercial Drivers License (CDL) is mandatory if you want to drive a truck. The CDL has three types of license categories A, B, and C, depending on the hauling capacity and type of cargo. Every State in America requires this permit as a standard for truck drivers, even if you are experienced in the trucking business. Therefore, to get a CDL you need to have a thorough understanding of the CDL sections and a well-organized plan of action to pursue the CDL exam.
The CDL exam has two categories; so plan accordingly. The first category is a General Knowledge Test and the second one is a Road Driving Test. It is advisable to set up a study schedule, for the first part as it consists of a written exam and requires the use of cognitive skills to learn the theoretical part regarding endorsements. The general knowledge section comprises of subjects like passenger vehicles, doubles and triples endorsement, combination vehicles, cargo vehicles, tank vehicles, air brakes, hazardous materials, school bus endorsement, etc.
Create a study schedule to maximize your learning skills, i.e., if you are not working then morning is the best time to devote to study, quiz yourself on the subject later on, it is a good way to revise the subjects. Focus on the information retention; these are vital for a truck driver. If you are working, then pack in a couple of hours of study each day, as you cannot cram everything at the last minute. Learning the rules and regulations about transportation of freight requires dedication and hard work, so do your homework well.
In order to prepare for the second category of the CDL Exam, which is the Road Driving test, undertaking practice sessions is essential. This section of the CDL test comprises of mastering the skills for outdoor driving. When you practice, hone your gear shifting skills, straight, serpentine and dock backing. Pay attention to negotiate accurate turns. Take pointers, from seasoned drivers to make pre-trip inspections. Gain proficiency in safety measures, defensive road and range driving techniques. Thoroughly practice these skills to get a good score on this section of CDL.
An accredited truck driving school helps you master complex truck driving skills. A good truck driving school runs programs that help its students get their CDL. They train you on the knowledge tests as well as skill tests. One of the major advantages of training at the truck driving school is long hours of practical road training. Additionally, practice sessions on big rigs, 80 feet or 18 feet tractor-trailers, builds confidence to not just crack the CDL tests, but also to transport all types of cargo effortlessly.
So, roll up your sleeves and start trucking your way down the road to success
CDL Training is easy when you choose a DETC accredited truck driver training program. Learn how the truck driving professionals earn over $100,000.00 per year at http://www.truckschool.com.

Bounding Isotropic Lorentz Violation Using Synchrotron Losses at LEP - High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
Bounding Isotropic Lorentz Violation Using Synchrotron Losses at LEP - High Energy Physics - Phenomenology - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Abstract: Some deviations from special relativity-especially isotropic effects-aremost efficiently constrained using particles with velocities very close to 1.While there are extremely tight bounds on some of the relevant parameterscoming from astrophysical observations, many of these rely on our having anaccurate understanding of the dynamics of high-energy sources. It is desirableto have reliable laboratory constraints on these same parameters. Thefastest-moving particles in a laboratory were electrons and positrons at LEP.The energetics of the LEP beams were extremely well understood, andmeasurements of the synchrotron emission rate indicate that that any isotropicdeviation of the speed of light from 1 must be smaller than 5 x 10^-15.

I had a dream last night and when I woke this morning the dream made lots of sense.
When I woke and opened the door to the garage in bounded our yellow lab Maggie, but she was young and full of energy.
But that was not the case this morning--Maggie had passed to the Rainbow Bridge, some time during the night. We had been noticing a change in her behavior the past few weeks. She was more quiet, sleeping longer, not joining in like she use to. The age of Maggie was unknown because she was a rescue dog. But the one thing the vet noticed was how worn her teeth were, so Maggie was well over 10 years old. She had been with us since April 23, 2012. She was a sweet girl that immediately fit in to our family life style.
