China wants to win EVERY gold medal in the future
"It makes us feel strong"
The Olympics, far from bringing the world together, actually encourages nationalism and xenophobia.
China wants to win EVERY gold medal in the future
"It makes us feel strong"
The Olympics, far from bringing the world together, actually encourages nationalism and xenophobia.
u r just envy envious hatred Chinese had More gold MEDALS...coz u r Americans fear China in the future Will replace your position in the world!!!
Case in point, Alex.
lol. Considered. (Holly also needs to check the latest leaderboard results LOL)
How about I also throw this into the mix...consider the above statement (encouraging nationalism and xenophobia) then consider how politicians from all over the world try to utilize the games as leverage to make political points, or more importantly, try to use individual competitors as leverage.
Then consider the national medals ranking. (Why does this even exisit? Why does a country try to "take credit" for the medals won by competitors just because they were born in that country or hold citizenship of that country?)
Then consider that the "rules" of each even are not even properly enforced.
So in reality, what exactly is the purpose of the Olympic games in terms of humanity? What are the games contribution to mankind in this day and age? The original games was effectively a national competition, not international. A platform for boasting and assertions of superiority.
Why did the games take a hiatus of 1500 years only to be reinventend / brought back to life by a random swiss dude and changed in almost every aspect imaginable - but keeping the name "Olympics"?
The ancient Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894. The IOC has since become the governing body of the Olympic Movement, with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority.
The current stated mission of the IOC is:
1 Encourage and support the promotion of ethics and good governance in sport as well as education of youth through sport and to dedicate its efforts to ensuring that, in sport, the spirit of fair play prevails and violence is banned.
2 Encourage and support the organization, development and coordination of sport and sports competitions
3 Ensure the regular celebration of the Olympic Games
4 Cooperate with the competent public or private organizations and authorities in the endeavor to place sport at the service of humanity and thereby to promote peace
5 Take action in order to strengthen the unity, to protect the independence of the Olympic Movement, and to preserve the autonomy of sport;
6 Act against any form of discrimination affecting the Olympic Movement
7 Encourage and support the promotion of women in sport at all levels and in all structures with a view to implementing the principle of equality of men and women
8 Lead the fight against doping in sporting
9 Encourage and support measures protecting the health of athletes
10 Oppose any political or commercial abuse of sport and athletes
11 Encourage and support the efforts of sports organizations and public authorities to provide for the social and professional future of athletes
12 Encourage and support the development of sport for all
13 Encourage and support a responsible concern for environmental issues, to promote sustainable development in sport and to require that the Olympic Games are held accordingly
14 Promote a positive legacy from the Olympic Games to the host cities and host countries
15 Encourage and support initiatives blending sport with culture and education
16 Encourage and support the activities of the International Olympic Academy (IOA) and other institutions which dedicate themselves to Olympic education
Which still begs the question - what is the purpose of the games and what do they add to the global community?
(continued) ... it is reported that one particular athlete this year does not have any nationality, so he represents no one but himself ... which, I believe, is what it should be like ...
Wow, a contribution! ;) Amazingly, I agree with you. Moar info plz DD.
(continued) ... I read it on weibo last week, dont have anything on it ...
links or it didnt happen DD
you are in the Paralympic? I said
and I said - links or it didnt happen, DD. Don't troll a non troll thread please DD.
(continued) ... yeah, I heard you the first time, but the more you said it, the more I wonder for what reason I should google or baidu something that you could have already done it in the last 30 min since I mentioned it ...
You are busy with your butter again?
I wonder for what reason I should google or baidu something that you could have already done
Oh right DD, ao now the onus is on ME to back up YOUR statements? Oh please... Backup now or your comments are getting IRed.
yap~USA People head very poor!
My problem with the Olympics is not that people give a damn, its that many seem to give a damn about the wrong things. Like nationalism. "We won X many gold medals!" etc. in fact "We" didnt win shit. Individuals won medals then others rush in and try to take credit and glory for the achievements of others. ( Im not talking about coaches and those other folk who have a legitimate claim to some of the 'glory' by the way. )
But what I really want to know is, what GOOD does the olympics do for humanity as a whole? When the party is over and the trash has been swept up, what have we gained overall?
Hahahahaha ... like the O Officials, you have just made this thread fun :)
Holly is making this thread fun, we need more like her. Please, nationalists and individualist sports lovers from every nation, input please!
(continued) ... cant remember the names, but I think that's the one ... thanks magdalena
This kind of events are especially impotant to CPP.
[...] So in the teaching materials you see this. You can see how the Communists tried to use history for its own purposes. The Kuomintang did this too. Both are in favor of aggrandizing the role of the state. Neither talked about individuals or rights. Everyone was instrumentalized for the state. Over the past century, most textbooks pushed nationalism. But of the two, the Communist Party has twisted history more. They push on the one hand patriotism and on the other how foreigners damaged and invaded China. The idea is to create a sense of anger and shame that only can be solved by the party. more
[...] Every time during the Olympic Games, when our compatriots win medals, words like "Sick Men of East Asia" would definitely be wildly used by the domestic media, especially in 2008, when headlines like "From Sick Men of East Asia to Olympic Sports Power" and "Beijing Olympic Games Forever Ends Discriminative Label 'Sick Men of East Asia'" could be seen everywhere. This time at the London Olympic Games, the Chinese delegation is shining with exploits, and there are many similar news reports as well. More
The message is clear: Before CPP; Shame. Under the rule of CPP, Glory.
I think Beijing benefited from hosting the 2008 Summer Olympics, if only because it forced them to build a serious subway network. But maybe they would've done that anyway?
Trying to think of other benefits...ummnnn...eh. Well, nevermind. But how 'bout that big shiny Water Cube! :-/
Who's China?
The one party. The CCP has only one unified voice, one dream...right?
England will see massive revenues.
Who's England?
England is organized, balanced, and leaves little space for corruption, it will benefit the nation.
More organized maybe, better balanced perhaps, little space for corruption? not sure... Benefit the nation? Again, who is England?
it does create a bond and awareness between peoples of the world, even though it is competition.
A bond of mutual competition and insecurity only alleviated by gold medals?
Come on guys... saying that the best reason for the Olympics is because it forces officials to clean up cities is like saying the point of having a party is that it forces you to clean your house beforehand.
Most cities which hold Olympic games already have a public transport system anyway so that one scores nil points with me too.
This is about what the games themselves bring to the table. You do not need games as a prerequisite to clean up a city or to install public transport.
Who's "us"? It doesn't make me feel strong.
Just quoting the article.
The idea is to create a sense of anger and shame that only can be solved by the party.
Damn good links there Doufu, but what exactly they have to do with the Olympics in general I am not quite sure.
don't tell me English athletes don't desire GOLD METALS
The desire was not expressed by athletes but by representitive officials. This is about what the government want for themselves (rather than for the athletes). Anyway, that was just an inflammitory remark - the point of the thread was outlined below that .
Yea...right. What "China" represents has always been that.
We arn't talking about ancient history this time, rather modern politics ;) Which is why I ask the question of how the games benefit humanity.
The whole "we want gold medals" theme is exactly why I think the whole thing is fucked up. Politicians (all over) are funding training efforts because they think it gives them 'face' (not just in China). Winning a medal is the purpose. The training isn't to be good, or even to be the best - it is to win medals to contribute to a sort of greater "competition" (the medals board) by which a nation's worth is measured... To me thats sick.
as a sense of pride
Hi Josh,
How do you derive pride from the Olympics?
Is it because you were born a citizen of the "winning" country?
Are you also proud to be an American (where at least you know you're free)?
Are you proud of being white skinned?
All these things you were born with (myself also) but I see them as random characteristics and don't derive any pride from them. But that that's just me, please share your views.
if it wasn't for us americans...China would be part of Japan! Stop being so ignorant.
is....a bit silly.
(continued) ... am I too late? Now, what if ...
You know who (no, not team USA) said that they will win every single argument or discussion in this forum? Well, everyone will leave, and then the "Vikings" are left with the Brits to play with ... sad, really ...
Going back to the topic ...
It seems unlikely that China will win all the medals in the first place, but for the sake of argument, let's assume that they do, then Olympic is just Chinese National Games, but being played in different cities every four years, and soon many countries will lose interest and Olympic will no longer be necessary ...
Please, dont let there be a 八国联军 in sports, or economy, it wont do anyone any good ... somehow it reminded of a sci-fi movie, but the name escaped me ...
Greece was, is, and will remain corrupt, hence such events won't do much good. England is organized, balanced, and leaves little space for corruption, it will benefit the nation.
huh? ...
who the hell cares, this doesn't affect anyone here on this site just those in government position.
That's the Olympic spirit ...
At the risk of buying into a thread started by Alex:
Conflating xenophobia with nationalism is already likely to bias the response. They are not equivalent terms, and become even more inappropriate if you reduce them to their definitions of 'to love [your country]' and 'to hate/fear [other countries]'. I think you can have a healthy nationalistic impulse without having to hate other countries (for instance, remaining emotionally neutral to those countries that are not your own).
I think when you have something like the Olympics, it does promote nationalism which in turn does unite a country in a common purpose. A loose comparison would be the way in which the race to the Moon united the US and the Soviet Union, and promoted rapid technological advancement (though admittedly xenophobia did arise from that too) to an extent that perhaps it would not have seen without that sense of competition.
Gold medals represent that kind of advancement. It is a 'face' thing, it is incredibly political, but then that still doesn't necessarily invalidate the advancement that is achieved through that purpose.
Hahahahaha ... you are very brave :)
(continued) ... what's Japan gotta do with this? ahhhh ... this is going to get very ugly ...
(continued) ... as I said, it will get ugly ... but do you consider yourself to have an open mind?
has called Americans dogs and so forth
No, she has not ... I cannot find "dog" in this thread other than yours (and now mine), so, sorry, you have made that up ...
because she is ungrateful
I would tend to believe that she has her "reason", if you care to listen :)
Conflating xenophobia with nationalism is already likely to bias the response. They are not equivalent terms
Hmm... I cant help but feel that nationalism is a very very small step away from xenophobia, while patriotism is not.
A loose comparison would be the way in which the race to the Moon united the US and the Soviet Union
I don't think this united them actually... If anything was just a miniaturized version of the nuclear arms race. (And led to further tensions regarding the militarization of space, the "star wars" program etc.)
K, good points and your honesty is appreciated.
AND if you are American you should know the MINORITY is white skinned people living in America.
Incorrect. The statistic you are quoting is related to births, however in 20 years or so you will be correct.
nuking Japan
Lets try to keep the wars out of this. Anyway, the USA arrived very late for the war and only after the Japanese blew the shit out of pearl harbor, which pissed you off and motivated ur selfish asses enough to get up and drop some bombs. It was the British the prevented the Nazis from marauding all over the face of the earth, but that's a different troll thread.
(continued) ... Josh, cant say I have been following all her comments, my bad ...
Since this thread is about Olympic, shall we not mention "war" unless it is abs necessary?
... and five min later ... Josh, I checked that thread, but I still cannot find her writing "dog", unless you were referring to other phrases?
... and six min later ... Josh, do you mind PM me with a test message?
Hmm... I cant help but feel that nationalism is a very very small step away from xenophobia, while patriotism is not.
I'm (genuinely) curious about how you would differentiate nationalism from patriotism. They are often used synonymously, even in their respective dictionary entries.
I don't think this united them actually... If anything was just a miniaturized version of the nuclear arms race. (And led to further tensions regarding the militarization of space, the "star wars" program etc.)
It certainly was a 'miniaturized version of the nuclear arms race', however I still would say it united the nations, or at least the US, in the sense that it captured the country's imagination, leading to the coverage breaking the previous record for number of TV viewers tuning into a programme. I guess you could say something similar about the way in which so many people in so many countries are following the Olympic coverage, and whilst you might view this as a negative thing (a nation of people rallying around some arbitrary characteristics they share), I would probably view it as a positive thing.
I think perhaps this may be a disagreement with the way you framed the discussion question. I agree that this kind of thing does not benefit world unity, and is probably detrimental to it (a lot of coverage in various countries displays quite a lot of blatant xenophobia when it comes to explaining a controversial decision that went against them). However I don't think it's really meant to 'bring the world together'. I think it does promote national unity though, and in this sense I guess that is the point of the Olympics.
@Josh: I remember you were talking about it at work earlier. Thought you guys were discussing about Olympics crap here? lol
@JoshT that last paragraph was just a troll, of course it was the us the won the pacific, they nuked japan and japan surrendered, but no more war stuff here plz.
it captured the country's imagination Sure it did, but it was still a very real kind of competition, I still think it agitated things rather than promoting peace and harmony but hey.
I'm (genuinely) curious about how you would differentiate nationalism from patriotism. They are often used synonymously, even in their respective dictionary entries.
Well...I never use them synonymously...and I guess it depends on what dictionary you use. Rather than type it all out for you, differencebetween.net does a pretty good job here, and you can troll them rather than me thx.
And what makes it even more fucked up is all those unfair judgements and suspicion/distrust of real capability and hard work, etc., which has made it completely meaningless for many.
I completely agree..but I also think that "drugs" should be available to "licensed athletes".
As long as there are undetectable "drugs" available to athletes, there WILL be cheating, and so there will always be suspicion and distrust.
The truth is though, real sportsmen have good sporting ethics (calling the ghost of sporting ethics..) and do not complain when they lose according the the referee / judges decision. Of course I think judges make mistakes and the public are welcome to comment, and inevitably heads will roll, but for coaches or athletes themselves to comment publicly is poor form and not sporting - and what really hurts the spirit of the sport.
respectable level / real level
What is a respectable level? I competed in regional athletics (throwing events) and karate for several years. Dominated (obviously)...but ya know what? I was always a "good sport", but then again I was never pro nor even playing for money. Having said that, there were never any terribly unfair judgements made against me and I never had to go head to head with the ugly political sides to the sports I played, although sure they were there and obvious for me to see - which was ultimately one of the reasons why I dont play anything these days..except foosball and pool ;)
Well said Summer.
By the way, did anyone see that Jacques Rogge character trying to say Usain Bolt is not a legend? Whining about how Bolt has to win at a couple more Olympics before he can be called a legend?
As if he hasnt made Rogge and his cronies filthy rich enough already!
Well done both! America & China..
and GB!!
Who does not know that the United States Olympic athletes most are black,Especially running class athletes of all nations are black,If China has with the United States the same number of black athletes,Who will be the largest number of country with the gold medal?
you are just an ignorant ethnocentric silly USA bitch!!!hahaha...you should just keep your mouth shut Bryan you sound like a racist countryside USA migrant Cheap pimp!!!
(continued) ... which Bryan?

Two UFC 168 drug tests flagged for inconclusive results
More than two months after UFC 168, two of its fighters are in limbo, awaiting final results of the drug testing conducted during that weekend. According to Nevada athletic commission chairman Francisco Aguilar, the tests of featherweight Dennis Siver and welterweight Siyar Bahadurzada came back inconclusive, triggering a test of their respective B samples.
Aguilar told UFC Tonight's Ariel Helwani that final results could be returned within two weeks.
An "inconclusive" result could signal many possibilities, ranging from the mishandling of a sample to a diluted sample. It does not necessarily indicate guilt.
Siver is a 35-year-old featherweight who has competed in the UFC for almost seven years, winning 11 times in 17 trips to the octagon. He's gone 3-1 since moving down to 145 pounds and during UFC 168, defeated Manny Gamburyan in a unanimous decision.
Meanwhile at the same event, 29-year-old Bahadurzada dropped his second straight, losing to John Howard via unanimous decision. He's gone 1-2 since signing with the promotion in April 2012.
Neither of the fighters have previously tested positive for any drugs, and both declined comment on the situation to Helwani.

16th Archaeological Expedition's Excavation Site is a stage in Tekken 6's Scenario Campaign mode. Leo is fought here. Clearing this stage and defeating Leo will unlock her in Scenario Campaign and Arena mode. This stage is located inside a cavern. Players should always be careful during this stage since there are many falling crates.
Alisa's Journal
"The path North was blockaded, so we took a detour via a ruins excavation site. Those nervy were upset when I damaged the ground while passing through. We were able to attain some data on the G Corporation thanks to the explorer we met inside the cave. It would seem the G Corporation is being threatened by a Kazuya Mishima.

If you have questions about Audi or our products but are not a journalist, please contact our customer service department at:
Sports medicine physician Dr. Vincenzo Tota whom Audi relies on in motorsport contested his very own race on Monday before the DTM event at Zandvoort. In a 700-hp powerboat, together with three teammates, he set a record in traveling around the southern tip of Italy in the 9-meter class. The quartet needed 32 hours, 46 minutes and 15 seconds, including a refueling stop in Roccella Ionica, for the distance from Monte Carlo to Venice. "The four of us took turns at the helm. Each shift lasted about two hours," reported the traumatologist and surgeon. "Still, there was no way to get any sleep because those who weren't steering had to take care of navigating the boat. An unforgettable experience. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!"

I got this tip from my Aunt Bessie. She rarely make it through a carton of eggs so she freezes them. She cracks individual eggs into snack sized Ziploc bags and put them in the freezer for future use. I found additional information at:
Freezing Eggs
Eggs can be frozen, but not in the shell. It's best to freeze eggs in small quantities so you can thaw only what you need. An easy way to do this is to put them in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer container and label.
As with any frozen food, it is best to thaw eggs in the refrigerator and use them as soon as they are thawed. Only use thawed eggs in dishes that will be thoroughly cooked.
Following are some easy instructions for freezing eggs:
Whole Eggs: To freeze whole eggs or yolks crack them into a bowl and gently stir to break up the yolk somewhat. Try not to incorporate air into the eggs. Label the container with the date and the number of eggs. They can be kept frozen for a year, and should be thawed in the refrigerator the day before you intend to use them.
Egg Yolks: To inhibit yolks from getting lumpy during storage, stir in a 1/2-teaspoon salt per 1-cup of egg or yolks. If using for desserts, use 1-tablespoon sugar or corn syrup per 1-cup yolks or whole eggs. Label the container with the date and the number of egg yolks. Use up extra egg yolks in recipes like sauces, custards, ice cream, yellow cakes, mayonnaise, scrambled eggs, and cooked puddings.
Egg Whites: Raw egg whites do not suffer from freezing (cooked egg whites are very rubbery). No salt or sugar is needed. Break and separate the eggs one at a time, making sure that no yolk gets into the whites. Pour into trays and freeze until firm. Label the container with the date and the number of egg whites. Use up extra egg whites in boiled frostings (i.e., 7-minute frosting), meringue cookies, angel food cake, white cakes, or meringue for pies.
Hard-Cook Egg Yolks: Hard-cooked egg yolks can be frozen to use later for toppings or garnishes. Carefully place the yolks in a single layer in a saucepan and add enough water to come at least I inch above the yolks. Cover and quickly bring just to boiling. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, in the hot water about 15 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain well and package for freezing.
Hard-cooked whole eggs and whites become tough and watery when frozen, so don't freeze them.

A native New Yorker, Roy Szuper began working in live music production where he found the topic for his first documentary. "Concert Joe: A New York Story," (IMDB) which was a fusion of comedy and music. This journey into the New York music scene followed one man's ridiculous quest to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for seeing the most concerts. The film was featured on MTV and VH-1.
His next short film was a more personal story titled "Charcoal"(IMDB) that was based on an event that happened to his family in the days after 9/11. It screened in Cannes and Buenos Aires in 2007. Szuper's first feature, "Gonzo Music Diaries, NYC" (IMDB) started out as a documentary on subway musicians. During a three-year period, it morphed into the story of the staging of a music festival 9 days before the start of the Republican National Convention. The film follows the music and activism leading up to the RNC and documents New York's transforming music, cultural and political landscapes. Featuring Tom Morello, Michael Franti, Vernon Reid, and CGGB's founder Hilly Kristal. Gonzo was screened at Anthology Film Archive's New Filmmakers Series, CBGB'S, Vision Du Reel DocFest in Switzerland, IDFA in Amsterdam, Cannes and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Szuper also worked as a producer on a feature length documentary titled "Edge Codes," a film about the history of film editing featuring George Lucas and Thelma Schoonmaker,Martin Scorcece's editor. Szuper's documentary short "Revolution in Motion," about a car that runs on air, was profiled in the Daily News in 2009. The car was in its early stages then.
More recently, one of the principals in Shark Tank, Robert Hevajec, has committed to invest in the project making this concept closer to becoming a reality. Szuper transitioned to producing factual content from 2012-2015 where he had a first look deal with My Tupelo Entertainment. While there, he developed new material and found new talent. He also had development deals with Earth Touch USA, JV Productions and Jupiter Entertainment.

One thing about the Sony...with its wonderful live histogram you can tell pretty much in advance how well your picture is going to come out. This was taken in a fairly dim interior and should be very noisy, since it's ISO 400. The camera was set on auto white balance. All I did was apply a bit of unsharp mask after I sized down from the original. Looks pretty good on this laptop lcd screen, but I'll do final editing at home. P.S. If you're ever in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, skip Lundy's...way overpriced. The streets along the bay are lined with fabulous looking restaurants and AFTER READING THE MENUS AND THEIR PRICES I would love to test them all!

Chicken Lasagne
Chicken Lasagne is a classic Italian pasta casserole dish which consists of alternate layers of pasta, cheese, a sauce, and minced chicken. As with many Italian dishes, significant regional variations exist. In some areas, the sauce is likely to be a simple tomato sauce or a ragù; this is mainly common to the southern regions of Italy, in others, a Béchamel sauce,more commonly used in the Northern regions.

I am traveling to S. Africa (or planning to) during Thanksgiving with my significant other for our anniversary. We are 31 and 34 and looking for a fun, romantic getaway to explore S Africa in the best manner possible!!
I am having difficulty understanding what would be the best itinerary and currently exploring a few different travel companies:
1) I would greatly appreciate if anyone has feedback on Lion World Travel and/or the Twelve Apostles Hotel and/or Lion Sands Safari in Kruger
-Was Lion World Travel a good company? Any issues? Any issues with South African Airways?
-Was Twelve Apostles too far from Capetown? Is staying downtown in the hustle and bustle more favortable?
-Is Lion Sands one of the nicer Safaris? Any other recommendations?
2) What is the best itinerary for someone coming to S Africa for their first time and potentially only time?
- 5 nights in Capetown, 3 nights in Safari (Is 5 nights too long? or 3 nights in Safari too short?)
- 4 nights in Capetown, 1 night winelands, 4 nights Safari
Are the winelands worth going to or similiar to Napa, etc?
3) What are the best day activities in Capetown?
- Helicopter tour, penguins, Robben Island, winelands, etc.
4) Any other help would be GREATLY appreciated. I am extremely confused and frustrated right now trying to pick and plan the best trip and would really love additional help in planning this trip
Thank you so much in advance for your help!!

i had looked at lion world safaris and, for us, their 'canned' trips didn't fit our time frame. you might want to read our recent trip report... i won't go into how much we loved our travel company again. but i would recommend using someone who can arrange a trip just for you and your s.o. rather than a group.
the more nights you can spend, the better. we did 5 nights in capetown, and are older (and likely less energetic) than you... and felt we could have done it all in 4 nights. (especially with a driver, who will help you make the most of your day.)
winelands were very much like napa/sonoma (where we live) and i would say skip it. we only did the winelands because we had scheduled one more day WITHIN cape town with a guide, and decided we simply liked driving around with him better. it was enjoyable, but not magical for us. (maybe we are jaded because we live here.)
if you can possibly do both a kruger/national park AND a private reserve, do it. they are so different, and we were glad we did both... but for sure the national park first, it will feel like a let-down after a private reserve.
i know... choosing WHAT we wanted to do and WHERE we wanted to do it, was the hardest part.

Hi ALeighton!
A trip to Cape Town and the African bush is the perfect romantic trip!!!
First of all, where you stay and how long you stay are largely influenced by your budget so I will do my best to offer ideas/suggestions without fully knowing that info.
My recommendation to you is that you do 4 nights in Cape Town.
After your arrival and first night of lodging, you would then have 3 full days to plan activities.
The standard attractions:
Full day drive to the Penguins/Boulder Town and the Cape of Good Hope. You can do this with a guide or own your own in a rental car.
Another day, you could plan a drive to the Wine Lands region. It is only one hour away and you can visit quite a bit with an early start and ending with a lovely dinner there at one of the incredible restaurants. Unless you felt that you wanted to spend more time there exploring food and wine, I recommend one full day is good. In Oct/Nov, you will have cool nice days as it's early summer. Harvest is Jan - March.
Another day you could visit Robben Island and a trip up to the top of Table Mountain. These are half day attractions so they could be combined to make for a full day. You may need some flexibility in your itinerary should the gondola be closed due to weather/visibility and you have to go on another day.
Your final day could be largely a "free day" to include other things that meet your personal interests whether that's historical, cultural, shopping, culinary etc. For example, there's District 6 Museum, a Township Tour, a tour of the different neighborhoods around Cape Town, sharkcage diving etc etc etc.
The list goes on and on as there are actually so many things you can do in Cape Town depending upon your interests but 4 nights seems to be a popular timeframe.
As for lodging in Cape Town area, it depends so much on whether you like to be "in the thick of things" or whether you want to be in more of a boutique hotel in a neighborhood. In addition to location, do you like large hotels or small hotels? And then there's a classic and traditionally styled hotel vs a more contemporary looking one. Trust me, there's a "right fit" hotel for every visitor!!! Camps Bay is lovely as it's on the beach and slightly removed from Cape Town. You have Table Mountain and Lions Head for your view as well as some shops and restaurants but it will mean taking cabs or the bus to Cape Town central.
From Cape Town, I would suggest that you spend your safari in Sabi Sabi at a romantic lodge. There are many to pick from. You mentioned Lion Sands which is lovely. They also have the treehouses that you can sleep on as an optional one night special treat. Check out Chalkley's, Kingston and Tinyeleti Treehouses at Lion Sands. Other special romantic lodges to consider would be Londolozi (recently named by Conde Nast Traveler as Best Far Flung Honeymoon Destination), Sabi Sabi Lodge, and Dulini. But to be honest, romance comes from within so you can find it anywhere! The lodges are very service-oriented and if you make sure they are aware that you want the experience to be special, they will do so!
If your budget allows, you could upgrade to a private jeep which really takes the experience to a whole new level. With a private jeep, you really can call the shots as to how long you are out on your game drives, what you want to spend your time watching/doing and when you want to come back to the lodge, etc etc. It does make for a very private and personalized journey.
As far as how long to spend in the bush, I recommend at least 4 nights. I think six nights is really great if you can stretch to that. If that's a possibility, I recommend to my clients to consider splitting that between 2 lodges. It's a great way to "switch things up" with a new lodge/style of lodge, staff, food etc. You could even do 3 nights at one lodge and 3 nights at a luxury tented lodge.
Sounds like a great trip! Happy to help!

We did a rhino conservation project last year for a romantic 25th anniversary celebration. It was our best day ever. Dianne is right - it comes from within.
You didn't give us a budget - there are many options, but the prices can be in any range. For Cape Town and the Kruger region, a tour company is not required. Any good safari agent can arrange a flawless, stress free trip for you. kawh used Wild Wings (sorry if you don't want to share that) for a local SA option. I used Classic Africa in the US.
Can you add a few days to your plan? Just over a week is a short time for such a long flight. I laugh every time I see "first and only" to SA - we all thought that, but SA gets into your heart in a way no other country does. You'll be planning your return before you land at your home airport.
I would do 3-4 nights in CT., 4-6 nights (1-2 lodges, minimum 3 nights each) on safari. It's a great city, but a city. Where else can you see lions and elephants?
Depending on your budget, you can go to Arathusa, Africa on Foot (and sister camps), Nottens, Cheetah Plains, Simbavati, Gomo Gomo for affordable options. Kirkmans Kamp, Lion Sands, Mala Mala and many others for higher end options. You will love them all, you just need to see which one feels right for you - their websites are excellent. Sabi Sand and Timbavati are the two reserves that most of us go to. You don't need to spend a fortune to get a great experience, but the higher end lodges have incredible service.
There are too many lodges for me to recommend, so mix and match any that interest you. I would do the following, with the additional couple of nights:
CT - 3 nights. Robben Island, Table Mtn, Cape of Good Hope/Penguins. Winelands not necessary - everyone is very proud of SA wine and serve it everywhere. We used the hop-on/hop-off bus which allowed us to see a lot and get out when something interested us. For a short stay, a hotel near the V&A Waterfront might work, or you can stay outside the city near the ocean, like Camps Bay, if you prefer.
Fly to HDS Hoedspruit and transfer to lodge in Timbavati for three nights. Ngala Tented or Kings for high end, Africa on Foot or Gomo Gomo for more affordable.
Transfer to lodge in Sabi Sand for 3 nights - Mala Mala or Kirkmans for high end, Arathusa or Cheetah Plains for affordable.
Transfer to closet airport or private air strip. Fly JNB. Easy, no group tour required.
Kirkmans and Ngala Tented are owned by &Beyond and you can get a long stay discount of stay 4/pay 3 - and ask about discounts in CT, too. It doesn't really matter the order between Timbavati and Sabi Sand, but stay in the nicest lodge last. I also prefer CT first because I like to do the best last - and safari is the best!
I totally understand your frustration, but don't let it deter you. SA is fantastic and even the worst trip will be great. There are SO many options and everyone seems to recommend the highest priced lodges available. Check out sabisand.co.za for all of the lodges available in Sabi Sand - and the huge price differences!
Have fun planning. And congratulations.

Cast Care, Traction
and External Fixation Casts A cast is a rigid external immobilizing device that is molded to the contours of the body.
Casts are used to:
immobilize a reduced fracture
to correct a deformity
support and stabilize weakened joints
apply uniform pressure to underlying soft tissue Types of casts & care Fiberglass:
composed of water-activated polyurethane materials
lighter in weight, stronger, more durable than plaster
newly applied fiberglass casts should not be placed on plastic surface due to endothermic reaction after application
casts can be dented while setting so should be well supported and avoid hard surfaces and sharp edges
some use waterproof lining which permits patient to swim, shower, or engage in hydrotherapy but must be drained to prevent skin breakdown Splints and Braces Splints:
made of plaster or pliable thermoplastic material
used for conditions that do not require rigid immobilization, when swelling may be anticipated, and for those that need special skin care
must be well padded to prevent pressure, skin abrasion, and skin breakdown
usually indicated for short-term use Plaster:
less costly & achieve better mold than fiberglass; not as durable and take longer to dry
also cause exothermic reaction and crystallization produces a rigid dressing in 15-20 min.
requires 24-72 hrs to dry completely
fresh cast should be exposed to circulating air and not be covered with clothing, linen, etc Braces:
custom fitted
used to provide support, control movement, and prevent additional injury
usually indicated for longer use than splints Assessment Before:
Assess general health, emotional status, understanding of the need for the device, & condition of the body part to be immobilized, neurovascular status, degree & location of swelling, bruising, & skin abrasions
information about prescribed treatment & what to expect promotes the patients active participation in & compliance with the treatment program
the nurse must evaluate pain, asking the patient to indicate the exact site & to describe the character & intensity to help determine its cause During:
Assess for potential complications that commonly occur because the cast is not easily removable
Compartment syndrome: occurs when there is increased pressure within a limited space that compromises circulation & function of tissue within confined area. To relieve the pressure, the cast must be bivalved (cut in half longitudinally) and elevate the extremity no higher than heart level.
Pressure ulcers: patient reports pain & tightness in the area, and may experience a warm area on the cast or brace. Drainage may stain the cast & emit an odor. Pain will be decreased when ulceration occurs .Report these findings to the physician.
Disuse syndrome: atrophy & loss of strength. To prevent this, the patient needs to tense or contract muscles without moving the part (isometric exercise) After:
Body part will be weak stiff, and may appear atrophied. The skin may appear dry & scaly and needs to be washed gently & lubricated with emollient lotion.
Support is needed when the cast is removed.
Exercises prescribed to help the patient regain joing motion are explained & demonstrated.
Elevation of the extremity may be required to control swelling until normal muscle tone is established.
Five P's: Pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia, & paralysis External Fixation used to manage open fractures with soft tissue damage.
provide stable support for severe comminuted fractures while permitting active treatment of damaged soft tissues
indicated in complicated fractures of humerus, forearm, femur, tibia, and pelvis
fracture is reduced, aligned, and immobilized by series of pins inserted in the bone. Pin position is maintained through attachment to a portable frame. Nursing Management of External Fixation Prepare patient psychologically for application of device. Reassure discomfort is minimal & early mobility is anticipated & promotes acceptance of the device
Elevate extremity to reduce swelling
Monitor neurovascular status every 2-4 hrs & assess pin site for redness, drainage, tenderness, pain, & loosening of pins. Monitor for compartment syndrome
Some serous drainage is expected.
Clean each pin site separately 1-2 times per day with cotton tipped appicator soaked in chlorhexidine solution.
Notify physician of loose pins/clamps & signs of infection Traction application of a pulling force to a part of the body
used to minimize muscle spasms; to reduce, align, & immobilize fractures; to reduce deformity; to increase space between opposing surfaces
must be applied in the correct direction & magnitude to obtain its therapeutic effects
amount of weight used may be changed to achieve desired effect as muscle & soft tissue relax
primarily a short-term intervention until other modalities (external/internal fixation) are possible
must be continuous to be effective in reducing & immobilizing fractures
skeletal traction is never interrupted
weights are not removed unless intermittent traction is prescribed
any factor that may effect or alter the line of pull must be eliminated (poor alignment, obstructed ropes, weights in improper position, knots in ropes) Types of Traction Skin traction
Straight/running traction
Bucks extension traction
Skeletal traction
Balanced suspension traction
Manual traction Effects are evaluated with x-ray studies. Adjustments are made if necessary. Nursing Interventions The nurse must never remove weights from skeletal traction unless a life-threatening situation occurs.
Promptly investigate every report of discomfort expressed by the patient.
Inspect pin site at least every 8 hours for signs of inflammation & evidence of infection.
The nurse must monitor for signs of DVT and frequently assess color, peripheral pulses, capillary refill time, & temperature of fingers & toes. Nursing Diagnoses Acute pain related to fractures, joint degeneration, swelling, or inflammation
Risk for ineffective therapeutic regimen management R/T insufficient knowledge or lack or available support & resources
Impaired physical mobility R/T pain, swelling, and possible presence of immobilization device
Risk for situational low self-esteem and/or disturbed body imag R/T impact of musculoskeletal disorder Learning Objectives Know the difference between fiberglass and plaster casts and care for casts
Know the difference between splints & braces
Learn proper care for external fixation devices and pin site care
Learn how to assess patient before, during, and after cast placement
How to recognize signs of skin breakdown, nerve damage, and signs of infection
Understand how and why traction is used **See handout for types & proper care of traction devices. *If there is an open wound or open fracture, the patient may require a tetanus booster if the wound was dirty & if the last known booster was more than 5 years ago.

Big Money Won't Change Stamkos
by Paul on 07/22/11 at 12:55 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star,
Steve Stamkos believes the money won't change him.
Stamkos is the newest NHL's multi-millionaire, having signed a five-year, $37.5 million contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning, and is well aware that sudden wealth can change a person and can change an athlete.
"I've been fortunate to be surrounded by so many great people that won't let me get that way," Stamkos said on Thursday. "It's part of who I am, it's how I've grown up, the morals that I've lived by. I think the first person you look at is your parents and how they raised me."
Then he paused, thinking of one way the money might change him.
"I might have to buy a few more team dinners," he said.

Removing Active Tag from Partition
I have recently installed a SSD. My old HDD drive is D:. Until today it had the OS drives on it also but my system boots from the SSD, drive C:. I formatted D: today but it still shows the partition as Active. How do I get rid of that as the drive is empty and I will be using it for storage. Thanks,
|My System Specs
|21 Jul 2012
One way is to use diskpart.
Select that partition and then type "inactive" at the prompt.
You don't see a way to do it in Disk Management?
The diskpart commands should be:
list disk
select disk 0
list part
The above list part should show 2 partitions. You would then select the one that is now inactive and then type "inactive" at the prompt.
|My System Specs
|21 Jul 2012
Hello Jim. As the disk0 is formatted as primary partitions, there should be one partition active. I guess one disk should contain one active partition, if it is not formatted as all logical.
If you set the SSD disk2 as first boot drive in boot order, the active partition of disk0 will not be a trouble at all.

Hello Jim. As the disk0 is formatted as primary partitions, there should be one partition active. I guess one disk should contain one active partition, if it is not formatted as all logical.
If you set the SSD disk2 as first boot drive in boot order, the active partition of disk0 will not be a trouble at all.
|My System Specs
|21 Jul 2012
I operated with C as Disc 2 for years with no issues. I think you can just swap the port at the motherboard if you want C to be shown as Disk 0.
There is no need for you to have any logical drives. You would be fine with all primary. But there's no overriding reason to change F and G from logical to primary either.
I have:
3 physical drives; one primary partition on each; only 1 active partition in the entire system; no logicals anywhere.
|My System Specs
|21 Jul 2012
Jim, if you dont want to use the installation on D drive anymore, you may convert those to logical. As far as D is primary, D will be active. There should be one active partition in a disk, as long as there is at least one primary partition.
If you want to make the SSD as disk0 in disk management, you are to arrange the sata array properly. Follow the motherboards manual, and place the SSD on the first port .
But, if it is not disk0, it will not be a trouble at all, as far as it is set to be the first boot device in bios boot order.
So dont worry Just make it sure that the SSD is the first boot drive or not .

Can't decide on just one of our delicious Indulgent Bars? Now, you don't have to choose … You can have all three!
12 Blondies, 12 Brownies and 8 Strangely Delicious Bars make the perfect mix!
Go ahead… you know you can't resist!

I send this package to my sister every year for her birthday. I haven't tasted these pastries, but as soon as they hit her front door my phone rings. She can't eat them fast enough. If I didn't send them to her, I think she would disown me
Jackie (Submitted on February 15, 2013)
These are so delicious! I will be ordering from you again!!
Unknown (Submitted on December 28, 2012)
The blondies were unbelievable..then I had the brownie and thought whoa. These are amazing. I got down to the strangely delicious and hesitated because they had coconut...but it wasn't just any coconut. It's toasted coconut. They are sweet and salty, caramely...perfect. This was an excellent Christmas present from one of my business associates. DELISH!!
Happy Camper (Submitted on November 13, 2012)
I received this box as a "Thank You" from a client and was so pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the packaging was. Then I got to taste the goodies inside and OMG, they were so amazing! Everything was so tasty. The blondies were so chewy and soft, the brownies so moist and the strangely bars were just a beautiful balance of salty & sweet. Possibly the best desserts I've ever tasted. Thank you EK, good work!!! :)

Welcome to Dynion Mwyn,
Dynion Mwyn is the Welsh form of witchcraft that originally came to the United States in 1967. It is the ancient religion of the Welsh People. The Religious Tradition of Dynion Mwyn traces it's roots back to the first inhabitants of The British Isles. It was revitalized in the 50s and 60s by Taliesin einion Vawr, a Dynion Mwyn High Priest, in North Wales, It is the basis of several Welsh Wiccae and Witchcraft traditions including Y Tylwythteg, a legally incorporated church of Georgia state in 1977 led by Lord Rhuddlwm. Included in The Dynion Mwyn Association are Celtic Reconstructionalist, Celtic Shamans,Celtic Witan Groups,Druids, Faery Traditions,Picta-Wita, and many others.
Dynion Mwyn is a recognized and legitimate church under codes of the IRS, Administrative Court, and other sections of the U.S. federal government. The Dynion Mwyn faith has three important tenants:
(1). Dynion Mwyn shall create safe places of worship for followers of the Welsh Gods and Goddesses and other Earth Based Faiths, who want to worship and observe their sacred Sabbats.
(2). To assist people in developing their latent intellectual, psychical, mental, spiritual, and emotional abilities, including chartering other earth based religions and allowed under our corporate by-laws.
(3). Creating a harmonious relationship with nature, learning to cherish and protect it every way possible inside and out.
Members of Dynion Mwyn share a belief that all life shares a sacred connected, it is the core of our religious beliefs. Applying that belief to everyday life is known as the Witches Way, its a philosophy that has been around for centuries, evolving into the versions we know today. A central piece of that philosophy today is observing eight seasonal festivals we call the Wheel of the Year that help develop a strong connection between followers gods, nature, and their own spirits.
