I'm asking for advice, again! The deal: 3 girls in early 20s wanting to Spain for 10 days (Flying in late Oct 29th or some time Oct 30th, no set flights yet, then flying out on Nov 9th).
We were thinking (of course) Madrid and Barcelona. Also maybe Valencia (and someone also suggested Granada, Seville, and Cordoba).
Does anyone have any suggestions on itineraries? We are flexible on flights, but I was looking into maybe flying into Madrid and out of Barcelona?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

10 days in Spain... what to do
I'm asking for advice, again! The deal: 3 girls in early 20s wanting to Spain for 10 days (Flying in late Oct 29th or some time Oct 30th, no set flights yet, then flying out on Nov 9th).

I don`t know but the one regret I have on my Spain vacation was that I did not attend a flamenco show!
Report Abuse
Thanks Pat! I'll remember that...

The first trip (Madrid and Barcelona) sounds just fine. Fly into Madrid for 4 nights, maybe continue to Valencia for 2 nights, continue to Barcelona for 4 nights. Trip #1 can be done easily all by train.
The other trip might work better with a car rental: Fly into Granada for 3 nights, then rent a car and head to stay in Ronda 2 nights and then toward Seville (stop off in Arco de la Frontera for a few hours). Return car in Seville. Stay in Seville 5 nights (w/ a day trip via train to Cordoba). Fly home out of Seville.
The important thing to know is that these are two separate 10-day trips. Pick one.

Bardo- thanks for the advice. Do you think that Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid should be the three cities we visit? Or should we add in one more or switch one out?
Report Abuse
Either Madrid + BCN,
or the Andalucian trio.
Try to limit yourself to one subregion, or easily traversed between cities (such as bcn-mad).
What are you into? Likes/Dislikes? travel style?
Report Abuse
Which cities you visit is really a personal preference.
The Madrid-Valencia-Barcelona trip works well logistically. They are not too far apart and have sufficient time in each city. I certainly would not add any more to it.
You could also just stay in Madrid and Barcelona and do day trips from each of them. From Madrid, Toledo and Segovia are possible day trips. From Barcelona, Andorra is an easy side trip.
I strongly suggest you get a guide book for Spain from your library and get an idea which places best match your group. Then come back and get some input on feasibility, practicality, etc. of your proposed itinerary.
Report Abuse
I guess you have no idea of what you really want to do. As already recommended by bardo1, doing a little research will help tremendously when asking questions. There are also professionals out there who may be able to help you plan this little adventure.
Report Abuse
I agree ...you have little time left!!!
Yes get a travel agent that may help you.
Where are you in USA?
Report Abuse
What kinds of things do you like to do? Both Barcelona and Madrid have a lot to offer and I think adding a 3rd city, outside of day trips, might make for a rushed vacation.
Speaking for myself, I spent 10 days in Barcelona a few years ago and could have stayed another 10 and still not have done or seen everything that I wanted.
Report Abuse
I did that trip a few years ago. Flew to Barcelona, and home from Madrid with a trip to Sevilla in between. DO NOT MISS Sevilla. It was the highlight of our trip. I traveled with 5 other friends. We saw an unbelievable flamenco show in Sevilla. We also rented a car one day while in Sevilla and went to Andulucia (the white hill towns). Definitely worth it!
Report Abuse
I agree with kgholtz: Andalucia, and Sevilla, its Capital are a Must See! You can get to Sevilla from Madrid on AVE in 2.5 hours; or, you can fly there from Barcelona in a little over 1-hour. I wouldn't go to Valencia except for the Fallas de San José or la Tomatina in nearby Buñol.
If it weren't so late in the year, I would recommend Northern Spain and Galicia; but the weather there might be too much.
Were it me, I would probably reverse the order, visiting Barcelona first, then Madrid and Sevilla. From Madrid, I would daytrip to Segovia and Toledo.

A friend of mine(plus two girl friends) made sure that she booked a spa day ouit by the Barcelona football ground. About three the afternoon the jacussi was invaded by the team of fit young men. She complained about eye candy
Report Abuse
It depends what you want to do in Spain. If you want to shop and party and dance all night you should go to Madrid and Barcelona. If you want to to see the "Old Spain" most of us Americans seem to look for in a first trip I highly recommend 3 nights in Madrid, 3 in Seville, 2 in Granada, 1 in Malaga and the high speed train back to Madrid. Of course you can still party and dance all night in those places too.
Report Abuse
I would say, don't stretch your trip through too many cities. The more you have to visit, the lest time you'll have to do so. Give each one a fair amount of time. A different US State can get old quick because so many of them are very similar, but a foreign country, especially if you don't know the language, can be difficult to get around in, not to mention how fascinating it will be to discover all sorts of fun facts about the place. Depending in your likes and dislikes, get a guide that fits your particular needs.
Now, when you go, don't forget to get some local cash, trust me, you'll need euro more so than dollars when you get there.
Whichever you chose, don't forget to have fun. Good luck.

3 cows die of suffocation in JaisalmerTNN | Oct 11, 2012, 03.36 AM IST
JAISALMERr: Three calves died due to suffocation on Wednesday when they were being stuffed in vehicles and smuggled from Dabla and Chod villages near Jaisalmer. The smugglers threw away calves on the road when they died.
Chaos was witnessed after villagers recovered three dead calves near Dabla village, 15kms away from Jaisalmer. The agitated people jammed NH15. There were long queues of vehicles on both sides of the road for nearly four hours. Later, addl SP Ram Singh Meena and sub division officer reached the spot with their team.
The jam has been cleared but ex-MLA Sang Singh Bhati along with hundreds of villagers has sat on a dharna.
Sources said, on Tuesday night, some people were taking a large number of calves from Dabla and Chod villages in vehicles and probably due to overloading, three calves died.
Villagers refused to allow the post-mortem of the calves or clear the jam. They demanded cases be filed against culprits and their immediate arrest.
"On getting the information about the incident, additional SP Ram Singh Meena was sent to the spot with his team. Police have cleared the jam, but villagers are still sitting on dharna. They are being persuaded. Police have lodged a case against unidentified culprits under the Cow Act," said SP Mamta Vishnoi.
"Cow smuggling has been taking place in Jaisalmer for quite a long time. These calves have died due to suffocation as they were stuffed into vehicles. If police do not arrest the culprits soon then Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) would launch an agitation," said VHP district president Tarachand Joshi and secretary Tikuram Garg.
Villagers Anoop Singh and Choon Singh threatened a district bandh if the culprits were not arrested soon.

Retirement Community Concert 25th June 2016
The SCYO would like to thank those attendees to our first Retirement Community Concert at Lake Kawana Community Centre. Whilst the very windy and cool day seemed to keep numbers a little down, the Chamber Strings, Stage Band and Youth Orchestra presented an excellent program. Musical Director Maria Salmon advised that "after hearing such wonderful reviews from the audience, next year we will improve in numbers". In addition there was a wonderful variety of afternoon tea and hot tea or coffee included in the interval, plus an opportunity to try your luck with a number of raffles.
Master of Ceremonies, Adrian King, wrote "Thank you very much for inviting me to be M.C. at the concert yesterday.
I enjoyed the afternoon music immensely. You have some brilliant players there!!"
I enjoyed the afternoon music immensely. You have some brilliant players there!!"
The SCYO thanks those wonderful Sunshine Coast businesses who supported the day with significant donations towards afternoon tea:

Coles, Kawana Waters
Woolworths, Kawana Waters
Brumbies, Mountain Creek
2016 Audi Centre Sunshine Coast Bursary
Audi Centre Sunshine Coast has recently proudly announced sponsorship of the 2016 SCYO Audi Centre Sunshine Coast Bursary. The bursary is aimed at assisting a young musician, who has demonstrated commitment to the SCYO principles, with expenses for SCYO membership, instrument costs and servicing, for a 12 month period.
Richard Moye, Dealer Principal at the Audi Centre Sunshine Coast, was delighted to announce at the Strings concert on 7th May that the inaugural recipient of this award was a most worthy person - Dekota Berkery. Dekota is a talented musician, who leads a section in the Orchestra and is always enjoying and developing her music. She performs a leadership role within her section, and Dekota (and her family) have gone above and beyond with fund raising to support the SCYO.
2016 Sunshine Coast Australia Day Awards - Creative Winner!
The SCYO is very pleased to announce the recognition of the dedication and stirling efforts of Musical Director Maria Salmon, by the awarding of the Creative category at the 2016 Sunshine Coast Australia Day awards ceremony held at Lake Kawana Community Centre. Maria has developed the SCYO creating unprecedented growth, which has required a huge effort, and we are all pleased that her extraordinary commitment to opportunities for young musicians has been so recognised. The organisation has grown to 7 ensembles, over 200 musicians, many workshops and performances, national and international tours, as well as the regular 35 rehearsals - developed and organised under her stewardship.
Maria was proud to accept the award on behalf the conductors, volunteers, and musicians whose hard work over the years has been integral to the success of the organisation.
Farewell to Calvin Hunter
It is due to people like Calvin, with the skills, talent and ability to motivate and inspire young musicians, and the willingness to do it for such a long period of time, that the SCYO is enabling a growing number of musicians to participate. Calvin was presented with a gift of appreciation at the recent Band Concert, so appropriate as he has been such an influence with this group over the years.
Japan Tour - Easter holidays 2016
58 members of the SCYO recently returned from a fantastic 10 day tour of Japan. The musicians were blown away by the welcome provided at all the venues and the shared performances. See the Tour page for more details.
About SCYO
The SCYO is the Sunshine Coast community's premier orchestra for youth, drawing talented musicians from across the Sunshine Coast and Hinterland into one or more of seven ensembles, covering novice to advanced, string ensembles to wind symphony, stage band and orchestra. Formed in 1989, the Sunshine Coast Youth Orchestra (SCYO) is a non-profit organisation that provides orchestral music opportunities for young musicians up to 23 years of age.
SCYO actively supports school music programs by extending musicians skills and encouraging all members to play in school music groups. Each year SCYO organises regular performances at a wide variety of venues, workshop activities with other orchestras, and an annual weekend music camp.
SCYO rehearses weekly on Wednesday nights during State school terms at Mountain Creek State High School, where we currently have a long-term lease agreement. SCYO is managed by a volunteer parent group.

Clean up and Integrate a bad photo Photoshop CS6
Cleaning up and integrating a bad photo
In this movie, I will show you how to take some bad artwork that gets foisted on you, for example, by a client, and then integrate it seamlessly with your wonderful composition using a combination of darken and lighten blend modes. So let's say, for example, that we are looking at that comp that I created at the end of the movie before last, and my client wants me to take this light bulb, not some other light bulb, but this light bulb that's this piece of line art that they printed out. They hired a guy to draw some Sharpie lines on it, and then they didn't even scan it; they took a digital photo, and applied as much JPEG compression as possible.
And I'm supposed to integrate it into my composition in order to create this seamless effect here. Thanks to blend modes, the answer is, no problem. So I am going to go ahead and switch back to this image. So first thing that we need to do is get rid of all these weird aberrant colors. So I am going to go up to the I...

School safety triple play
Law enforcement agencies and school systems can now obtain three important school safety programs at no cost on one CD-ROM.
- A Critical Incident: What To Do in the First 20 Minutes, developed by the North Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, takes users through a scenario involving a shooter in a school. Viewers see the school's response and how it implements its plan. At the end of the scenario, discussion questions allow them to discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how they can use the lessons learned to improve their own critical incident plans.
- School Crime Operations Package (School COP), which has been an extremely popular program, enables school resource officers (SROs), SRO supervisors, school administrators, and security officers to enter a daily log of incidents, display incidents involving a particular student quickly (valuable for meetings with parents or students), and produce graphics showing school "hot spots" or year-to-year trends, which can help solve problems and communicate issues at school meetings. For example, a map can show where bullying incidents have occurred on a school campus. School COP can also provide evidence of activities undertaken or problems solved, which can help persuade a school board to continue funding an SRO program.
- School Safety Plan Generator, a software program developed by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), allows law enforcement personnel to create a document that serves as a foundation for preparing schools for violent critical incidents and as a reference guide for information needs during a critical incident. The software, created as a result of input from the members of NIJ's National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center System and the School Safety Technology Working Group, allows users to answer questions about a particular school and use the information to set up a profile that includes demographics, members of the critical incident planning team and their roles and responsibilities, emergency locations, supplies and equipment on hand, and critical lines of communication.
To obtain copies of the School Safety CD-ROM, contact the Rural Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center, 866-RURAL LE (866-787-2553), or NIJ program manager Mike O'Shea at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Latest Headlines
Vodafone Czech Republic became the latest European mobile operator to launch new IP-based voice services, although the lack of compatible smartphones continues to limit the number of users that are able to exploit such services.
Long Term Evolution (LTE) doesn't seem to have lasted very long when you consider the prominence of news regarding the next generation of technologies including Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G.
Verizon confirmed to FierceWireless that it is currently planning to shut down its CDMA 1X network by Dec. 31, 2019. However, the carrier said it would work with its current CDMA 1X customers and would consider operating its CDMA 1X network into 2020 if those customers need more time to move onto Verizon's LTE network.
The nation's two largest mobile network operators have begun to commercially deploy interoperable Voice over LTE (VoLTE). Finally.
Deutsche Telekom has become the latest European operator to launch Wi-Fi calling as part of efforts to enable users to make calls where cellular network coverage is poor or non-existent.
IHS Technology predicted that the global base of voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) users would hit 1 billion by 2020, aided by China Mobile's migration to the technology.
LISBON, Portugal-- Three UK said its new voice over LTE (VoLTE) service has run into several issues including accidental roaming by customers onto other operators' networks, causing a loss of revenue for the company.
While some U.S. carriers are moving ambitiously to deploy VoLTE-- T-Mobile is the obvious example here-- U.S. Cellular is taking a more measured approach and plans to begin to bring the technology to market next year.
Shares of U.S. Cellular plummeted after the carrier fell well short of expectations in its quarterly earnings. The nation's fifth-largest mobile operator posted first-quarter revenue of $958 million, below the $972.2 million expected by three analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research, according to the AP.
Worldwide IT spending is forecast to total $3.49 trillion in 2016, a decline of 0.5 per cent over 2015 spending of $3.5 trillion, according to Gartner.

This Bauble Series Takes "Of The Month" Clubs To A New Level
We're longtime adorers of Oakland-based jewelry ace and aficionado Kate Ellen of Kate Ellen Metals, but her latest venture takes our awe to the next level. Her newest series, called A Rarity, focuses on an all-star roster of both local and New York-based designers who will create unique bits and bops each month to be sold exclusively at another one of our obsessions: local bauble boutique Crown Nine. Call us crazy, but having a dynamo design maven personally pick some of her peers to create one-of-a-kind pieces for our accessory-fiend pleasure, well, we are mighty intrigued, to say the least!
The fun doesn't stop there, because Ellen has teamed up with local photographer Eva Kolenko to delve into her fellow designers' studios, offering an insider's glimpse into their creative spaces and inspirations. Each month, beginning this Monday, March 25, we can look forward to one or two artists, from the likes of Sarah Swell and Collette Ishiyama, and their chosen designs — which are all under $150 — to be featured on Crown Nine's online shop. If shopping a selection of handcrafted, limited-edition gems and getting a look inside the makers' process each month doesn't sound like your thing, well, better stick to the cheese of the month club. But, for the rest of us, A Rarity has us charmed already!

Years before I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, The Other Half came out of a doctor's appointment with a diagnosis of "borderline diabetes" and an ADA exchange diet sheet. His health insurance agency followed up on the diagnosis with a glucometer and test strips. After a year or so of trying to follow the diet plan and test his glucose levels, things appeared to be back in "normal" range, and stood there until a couple of years after my own diagnosis.

My goodness the year is going by quickly. My goodness, this doesn't seem to happen when you're young, does it! That tells me a lot...
1. I am back to eating oatmeal again. The days of the morning aerobics class did not lend themselves to oatmeal before exercise. No, I didn't want to get up early to have 'digestion time'. No, not at all.
2. Cardinals must be on the 'short bus' in the bird kingdom. We have reflective glass on our deck doors to preserve heat/air conditioning. The cardinals either think they have a rival for the females attention or think there's a female Right There just waiting for them. I've put images of owls on the panes of the windows to no avail. Right now, I'm getting kinda tired of hearing ping ping ping as those fiery red fellows give themselves headaches flying into the glass. Apparently as with human males, sex trumps common sense.
3. Yesterday, we had some tremendous winds that even blew through my air conditioner and ruffled the curtains. I balk each year about taking that window unit out since I have to put it somewhere. Getting it carried down and back up to the cellar no longer seems a good option. Each year as the months go by, I wish I had put a plastic sheet over the unit. I suspect it will be back to duct tape to seal it up when summer comes. Oh fun...
4. Yesterday, the old Advantium was taken out and the new microwave installed. After a day without a working kitchen, I decided it was a dinner out. He's always happy with Old Country Buffet and, truthfully, I am too since we can both get what we want. Snigger if you will, it works. Last night was no exception. We did not have one item in common all night. But apparently Thursday is family night and OMG, they had a cotton candy machine! I planned to get a few strands but by the time we were ready to go, the cotton candy man had 4 people waiting for banana splits, his other specialty. I suspect the idea of cotton candy was really enough for me.
5. On this day in 2001, a few months before our wedding, Mr. R. and I went to the mall for my wedding/engagement ring. I reminded him this morning that I would be up for a trip to the mall again for an additional band of diamonds. He mumbled somethingand went on to reprogram the thermostat. That's my engineer!

Product Description
From the Back Cover
First, the book is meant to be a contribution to Greek history: an attempt to explain the social roots and internal functioning of the political system of an ancient city-state. I hope that many of those who consider the history and culture of fifth-and fourth-century Athens intrinsically interesting, as I do, will find this study valuable in formulating or reformulating their own assessments of classical Greece.
About the Author
Josiah Ober is the Mitsotakis Professor of Political Science and Classics at Stanford University. His books include "Democracy and Knowledge", "Political Dissent in Democratic Athens", "The Athenian Revolution", and "Mass and Elite in Democratic Athens" (all Princeton). He lives in Palo Alto, California.

As the previous reviewer stated, Ober believes that for several hundred years that the Athenian democracy was a successful and workable government. He believes that the citizens of Athens were able to transform the ideology of honor that had defined the elite in such a way that the citizens and the elites were able to mostly work together to govern their city. That ideology evolved and was refined such that the elites were still encouraged to compete against each other but in ways which made the mass of citizens the judges. The citizens were the ones who awarded the prizes and who gave the honors.
Being put into that position, the elite had to modify their attitudes toward the mass of citizens. The way that Ober argues that this occurred is altogether brilliant. He discusses how this occurred both in the courts and in the governing councils. He discusses how the elites learned to display and use their superior education, wealth and status to the advantage of the state and the masses. He discuss how the mass ideology encouraged the elites to channel their display and their rhetoric of superiority into acceptable form.
I cannot state what a revelation this book was to me. I have read many of the ancient historians and am well read in most of the ancient philosophical schools. In the follow up to this book, Political Dissent in Democratic Athens, Ober goes on to argue that most of those philosophers and historians created a counter-ideology that confronted and tested the ideology of the masses. Historically, the counter-ideology is the one that won (if only by the accident of the survival of texts- never forget how little of the ancient literature we have or how lucky we are to have what we do).
Ober's thesis is that if you go back and look at the records, the speeches, the actions and the results that that counter-ideology needs to be balanced against the fact that the radical Athenian democracy was successful and creatively responded to the needs of the city both domestically and in their foreign policy.
I will put it more bluntly than I think Professor Ober would- At the origins of the Western tradition of political philosophy is a lie. The radical democracy of Athens is full of lessons for us in our present situation. I will also state
that anyone who is knowledgeable in the ratification debates of our own Constitution will learn that much of the American political tradition had its origins in Athenian democracy.

We stayed at the Comfort Suites in Council Bluffs, Iowa at the end of April on a cross country trip. It was just what we needed after a long day of driving---well located near both highways 80 and 29, efficient and friendly front desk, a clean, comfortable and quiet room, plus a good breakfast the next day. We will come back.

Using the Glycemic Index
Tips for using the GI:
- Get a guide. The New Glucose Revolution, by Drs. Jennie Brand Miller and Thomas Wolever, is the authoritative printed guide to the GI.
- Consider the carbs. Don't lose sight of the total carbohydrates in a particular food or meal. Just because a food has a low GI doesn't mean you can eat twice as much.
- Don't forget form. The same food can have different GI values based on whether it's cooked or raw, ripe or underripe, whole grain or finely ground. Make sure you have the right GI value for the form or preparation method.
- Lighten your load. The glycemic load (GL) of a food, which takes the GI and factors in serving size, is also a useful tool for managing dietary control. A GL of 10 or less is considered low.
If you're interested in using the glycemic index for better dietary control of blood glucose levels, talk with your registered dietitian about incorporating it into your meal plan.

Many people say that depression is a side effect or complication of diabetes. Without discounting the association of the psychological condition with the physical one, I'm not convinced that our high and/or unstable glucose levels are directly responsible for that change in our mental state. My belief is that the unrelenting need for self-care, for following the sort of care schedules that can drive licensed, professional caregivers crazy, is what overwhelms us...
