*DH had organized a short work trip to Cairo for a portion of the school spring holiday in the event that DD and I might be able to join him. DDog's favorite sitter was available, and so the holiday was planned. DH's Egyptian colleagues arranged the accommodations for us and somehow his middle name became the Family Name in the registry, so for three days I was addressed as, "Madame Patrick." I played my role well, forgetting only once and signing a spa receipt with my name and causing but a tiny kerfuffle that was quickly resolved.
For this holiday we hired both a driver and a guide. Cairo doesn't really lend itself to being a do-it-yourself destination; plus, tackling 4.000 years of history on our own seemed daunting. It is a large and populous city; the public transportation mainly consists of microbuses and ad hoc slug lines (though there is an overcrowded subway system if one is so inclined); and my Arabic language skills are honed just enough for basic greetings, identifying "shai" (tea) and "koshary" (an Egyptian national dish) on a menu, and otherwise staying out of trouble.
Aegean Airlines, EgyptAir and the Egyptian Visa Process
By the time we had confirmed DDog's sitter, no seats were available on the direct flights with DH on Austrian Airlines. No big deal; DD and I flew VIE to ATH on Aegean; and ATH to CAI on EgyptAir with short layovers.
Aegean Airlines was named the Best Regional Carrier for 2015, an accolade with which DD and I wholeheartedly agreed. To start, the seat aisles are wide enough for very tall people, a rarity! While there is no personal in-flight entertainment, there is a running travel promotional video for Greece, so one can look at pretty scenery for 90 minutes. The selling point? The food. But for it being presented in little boxes, we put the selection and taste on par with a business class meal.
EgyptAir was a bit hit-and-miss. The seat aisles were of regular size; the reclining pitch of the seats was terrible, though. On the return from CAI to ATH, the woman in front of DD reclined for the duration of the flight, including during the meal, making it impossible for DD to unfold her tray table. The flight crew did not seem sympathetic to her, but it mattered little because we both declined the "food" served on the inbound, a box containing two cold pieces of bread, a small cheese, and a jam that was thrusted at us. The meal was in far contrast to the outbound selection, a delicious plate of grilled chicken and roasted vegetables.
Obtaining an Egyptian Visa
What a hoot. One must purchase their visa stamp before proceeding to Passport Control (so very many people who had been standing in the long, long passport control lane (in the singular) were rejected and had to begin anew). Though the two or three banks in the control area had signs indicating that they exchange currency and sell stamps, they fib.
DD and I foolishly thought we could purchase our Egyptian visas with Egyptian Pounds. 'Twas not to be, and thank goodness we had Euros on us (the only other accepted currency is USD, and no Bankomat purchase is possible, either). Of course, we were given change for our visa purchase in Egyptian Pounds.
Our first day of sightseeing started out, well, an hour early. We had arrived on the night of European daylight savings; Egypt no longer observes daylight savings, but my iPhone (and hence, the alarm) somehow missed that memo. On the following morning we awoke, enjoyed the first of many worthy-of-a-pharaoh's-visit breakfasts, and presented in the lobby at 0825 to meet our guide, Rania. Except, the time was only 0725. With an hour to spare (!), we walked about the neighborhood, watching the morning routine. Soon enough our guide arrived, and off we went.
What follows is not a day-by-day account; rather, our observations and notes on our activities.
The Giza Pyramid Complex
The part of Cairo nearing Giza is shabby, to put it politely. Efforts to convert the mounds of refuse into a green island along this road are underway, but the process is certain to be a lengthy one.
Though some travelers dismiss it as "expensive" or not "worth it," it was never a doubt that we would take a camel ride to see the pyramids. "Expensive" is relative, given the history we would be experiencing for likely the one and only time. One can barter with "independent" camel guides, but that activity is discouraged for a number of reasons. Our guide arranged the tour for us with the government-owned and licensed camel guides, as the camels are well cared for and the guides are knowledgeable.
DH is tall (over two meters) and his camel, Ali Baba, needed a little coaxing to join the caravan. In the interest of respecting my husband's dignity, I will only share photos of him getting on or off of the camel with family and close friends.
A short and wobbly walk later, the oldest of the seven ancient wonders of the world comes into view. At that moment, the question of "Worth it?" blew across the desert with the sands.
No Internet photos or virtual tours will ever compare to standing in front of the Great Sphinx of Giza.
In the foreground of the Giza Pyramid complex is an auditorium, from where a light show is held nearly every evening. Seemed a little too, "Yanni Performs at the Acropolis" for us.
Tourism in Cairo is dismally low (no complaints from us, though!) Our camel guide shared with us that he used to give 4-5 tours each day during tourist season; now, he gives a tour every other day or so.
Coptic Cairo
The afternoon of our first day was spent exploring Coptic, or Old Cairo and its medieval streets upon which sit Orthodox, Christian, Muslim and Jewish houses of worship. That people of different religions could worship peacefully together in ancient times made us wonder why it is so difficult in contemporary times. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour through the various houses of worship and the medieval lanes of this part of Cairo, but would no doubt hate it during peak tourist season.
The sheer amount of history and beauty we absorbed on this first day in Cairo mentally exhausted and thrilled us at the same time, but also exposed the large gaps in our personal knowledge of ancient Egyptian history.
The Citadel and Alabaster Mosque
High atop a hill in Cairo sits the Islamic fortress, built in the 1100s to protect the city from Crusaders. If that alone does not impress, within the fortress walls and atop the summit is the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, the Ottoman ruler over Egypt in the early 1800s. Muhammad Ali was not exactly the most benevolent ruler. Because he did not want anyone of the previous Mamluk Sultanate to attempt to reclaim the throne, so to speak, he arranged for the execution of all males of the Mamluk clans. Nice. Oddly enough, he was also the first ruler to institute formal education for Egyptian females.
The construction of the Alabaster Mosque was modeled after the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, and was Muhammad's way of erasing any trace of the Mamluk. As with the Blue Mosque (we toured Istanbul in 2013), the interior contains 365 lanterns, one of which is lit each day starting with the beginning of the Islamic New Year.
During our visit there were also a number of school groups on field trips. DD is a tall teenager with long blonde hair and seemed to fascinate both female and male school students. Many girls close to her age would ask her name, or unabashedly take her photo. The boys were a different story, but not in a negative manner. Trying to be "cool," they would pretend to take a selfie with her in the background. One boy called out to her in Arabic, telling her she was, "White sugar of the desert." Even our guide laughed when she translated the comment to us! Overall, DD was fine with the curiosity and the attention; none of it was threatening, and it was a bit amusing to note that teenagers are teenagers everywhere.
Khan-el-Khalili Souk
On our final day in Cairo, with DH off doing his work thing, DD and I had great confidence that we could navigate the nearly 1.000 year old market without a guide. We have bargained our way through the souk in Sarajevo and the Grande Dame of markets, Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, so we knew what to expect. (Though, because that was also the day the EgyptAir hijacking story was developing, we asked our driver to remain at the market while we shopped, as a precaution.)
Once upon a time Cairo was an Islamic, medieval walled city; today, three of the ancient gates remain, and it was through one of them that we began our adventure. At first we followed our senses, past spice stalls and savory grills tucked down shabby lanes, trying desperately to take in everything around us. "Everything," that is, except for the horrid fresh-pressed sugar cane "soda" we thought would be fun to try. It was not fun to try.
Though tajines are used across North Africa for cooking, they are not widely popular in Egypt, so I set my expectations accordingly as DD and I wandered the market in search of the cookware. As very good fortune would have it, I spied the dusty clay pot inside a small store. I probably didn't bargain for it as much as I could, or should have, but €20 (equivalent) seemed beyond reasonable for this latest addition to my kitchen! Though hunger pangs had begun, and I now had the burden of carrying what felt like a 20kg weight through the market, we still managed to get sidetracked by a store selling delightfully fancy glass tea and coffee cup sets. I asked the proprietor if it was at all possible to purchase individual cups. He smiled, invited us to the back of the store and down creaking steps, to a room that glittered when he turned on the lights with shelf after shelf of beautiful cups! How I left the sparkly cave of wonder with only four tea glasses is a mystery.
All too soon it was time to connect with our driver. By this point of our holiday he was comfortable enough with us to take us back to the hotel via neighborhood roads rather than the highway, giving us a sample of local culture. Camel traffic is an actual thing! Traffic in Cairo is unlike anything we have witnessed on the worst of the worst days when we lived in Washington, DC. (It took us one hour to travel 7 kilometers in Cairo.) Three traffic lanes routinely became five lanes of cars, bicycles, and donkey and horse carts with vendors selling items in between and along the sides, and people crossing every which way (even on the highways). DD referred to our experiences in traffic as, "Human Frogger."
The Egyptian National Museum
A humbling tour, at least it was for us as our guide wove an extraordinary two-hour long tale starting with the (copy of the) Rosetta Stone and moving through the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms of Egyptian history. For shame, we thought of those whom we observed using the audio guide to self-tour; unless ancient Egyptian history is your thing, an audio guide would seem unsatisfying.
Certainly a highlight of the museum for us was the second floor, largely devoted to Tutankhamen. DD and I stood thisclose to the Gold Mask of King Tutankhamen, and were in awe. Photography was not permitted in this gallery, and the temptation to sneak a snap with our iPhones was only tempered by the guards milling about who would likely have yelled at us in Arabic for having done so.
Originally DH's hosts had suggested accommodations for us at an upscale, very Western, tiny skyscraper of "America" hotel on the River Nile, thoroughly scrubbed of any local character, and so very much not our travel style. No doubt they were surprised when we politely inquired about other accommodations, but did suggest another hotel in an "upmarket" Cairo neighborhood that was a perfect fit, even if DD and I were a little bit fussed over during our stay. We had a comfortable suite and simple luxuries of a rooftop pool and a spa (where I indulged in a Cleopatra-style mud soak), and window seats in the suite from which we could watch the extraordinarily mesmerizing rhythm of Egyptian life.
Eating like an Egyptian
We ate well in Cairo, even with cuisine options being much less numerous than at home. In fact, with the exception of dinners, we relished the mostly vegetarian "Mediterranean Diet." The Breakfast Room at the hotel was superlative, an epicurean Mecca for food lovers like the three of us. The freshest salads; Egyptian hummus and pita (though, in all honesty, we prefer Lebanese-style hummus a little more, as it is thicker and has more garlic); succulent olives and cheeses; and our new favorite falafel, prepared Egyptian-style with broad beans rather than the customary chick peas were available each morning, along with Halvah slices (and many other sweets) for me, a treat that I do not often indulge in at home. DH appreciates his omelets, which were also available, as was something called "Veal Stir-Fry" that I would have bet real Egyptian Pounds was tofu!
On one occasion we sat for Koshary, an Egyptian national dish of short macaroni, vermicelli, a bit of ground beef or lamb, chick peas, and crispy fried onions, accented with a dollop of Harissa or chili and a good slosh of a vinegar/garlic/lemon dressing. This dish was hands down beyond delicious, and is an extremely common "fast food" that I am eager to recreate at home.
Intrigued by the constant traffic at "Tom and Basal," a Koshary chain near our hotel, on our first night we decided to "go local," insofar as much as three Western Caucasian folks can look local, and ordered Koshary to take back to our suite. And what do you know? The staff spoke English and guided us through the menu! Dinner was fantabulous!
On the subsequent evenings we followed our noses into the small passages between the apartment buildings across from our hotel in search of dinner. We stood out, again, not surprisingly. What humbled us, though, were the shop owners who would invite us into their stores, and comment upon learning we were American with, "Viva, America!" and "We love America!" The more we travel, the smaller the world seems, and we were quite pleased with ourselves for not staying at the other hotel, eating fancy falafel on porcelain plates. Or worse.
One evening the aroma coming from a grill stand was heavenly, but we all suffered from a lack of Arabic/English translation abilities, alas, so whatever deliciousness was grilling was not ours to be. Nearby to the aromatic grill, though, a kindly gentleman overheard us and exclaimed that he spoke, "A little bit of English!" Naturally his English was almost flawless. He directed us to his storefront and prepared grilled chicken and saffron rice that almost brought tears to our eyes. And when combined with Koshary from the local chain, we feasted every night. No doubt the room service staff shook their heads and raised an eyebrow or two when we requested dinner plates and flatware, but no food. Or perhaps they did not.
Final Notes
Security was visible, especially during the unfolding EgyptAir hijacking story; military with pointed weapons walked the streets and drove on the roads, and access to the Souk was restricted. We made friends with the dogs who sniffed the vehicles entering our hotel campus for explosives, but at no point did we ever feel unsafe, even walking about the neighborhood on our own and in the evenings.
To end, a toast to Cairo! We have many friends for whom Cairo would never be a travel destination, and that is their loss. We certainly found the Egyptian people worth befriending and their culture worth experiencing. As such, the three of us departed Cairo a bit sad, as if we were saying, "Goodbye" to a friend we may never see again.
Thank you for reading.

Thanks for sharing. What a wonderful account. I appreciate your details as well as getting a glimpse of a place that I only hear about in the news through your on-the-ground perspective.

Great report. Your tour was very similar to ours. The only difference I can identify is that all the security guys when we were there in 2010 seemed to be sleeping. Not anymore.

Very enjoyable report. It's been many years since I visited Egypt. This brought back many happy memories. I must say even back then the security guard assigned to our tour group carried a rather scary looking gun.

Lovely trip report. Brought back great memories. I think I was there 2012 and Cairo was similarly empty of tourists.

Everyone, thank you for reading the report. We have the privilege of living in Europe, and as long as Dog's favorite sitter is available, there are few places that we would not consider exploring. With every trip we take, be it a day trip to the neighbors in CZ, SK, or Hungary, the world feels a little smaller and the people, friendlier.
One of my husband's long-time Pakistani colleagues keeps inviting us to this mountain home during the summer months. So tempting...
Rich, please accept my apologies. Unless we have a truly horrific stay at a hotel or rental apartment, I generally refrain from offering the name, as one person's "Motel Six" is another person's "Four Seasons," and everyone travels differently.

No problem . . I lived in Cairo for a while and your description sounded like one that I would put visitors in from time to time that was in Maadi.

Hope your appointment goes well this week and that the blood pressure has stayed stable.
Not much going on over here. Still uncomfortable and I think I pulled a muscle or something on my left side. It really hurts. Makes rolling over in a bed a real pain in the butt - as if it isn't already a pain! I'm getting to the point where I am ready for this to be over but at the same time, I'm not sure I am "ready" for labor yet. Everyone keeps telling me I am going to "miss this" when it is done - feeling the kicks etc... I guess I might, but it's hard to imagine at this point!

There were patches of empty seats, especially behind the home plate end zone, but the fifth New Era Pinstripe Bowl was a success because the name value of traditional Eastern powers Penn State and Boston College was enough despite mediocre records to attract a bowl-record sellout crowd of 49,012 on a relatively balmy Saturday evening at Yankee Stadium.
Records hardly mattered to a roaring crowd that saw Penn State overcome a 14-point third-quarter deficit to tie and a three-point deficit in the final 2:10 to force overtime on Sam Ficken's 44-yard field goal with 20 seconds left. After Boston College kicker Alex Howell missed an extra point in overtime, Hackenberg hit tight end Kyle Carter with a tying 10-yard TD pass before Ficken added the winning extra point in a 31-30 Penn State victory.
The emotional Nittany Lions (7-6) celebrated the win by jumping on top of the Yankees' dugout to connect with their fans in their first bowl since the sanctions stemming from the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal three years ago were lifted earlier this season.
"We've been fractured the last three years," Lions coach James Franklin said, "but experiences and games like this have restored hope. When we're all pulling together, the sky is very high at Penn State."
Penn State got a school bowl-record performance from quarterback Christian Hackenberg, who completed 34 of 50 passes for 371 yards and four TDs, including a 16-yard scoring strike to DaeSean Hamilton to tie the game at 21 with 6:48 to play. But Boston College (7-6) QB Sean Murphy responded by leading a 69-yard drive for a 20-yard field goal by Howell for a 24-21 lead with 2:10 left.
Hackenberg then passed for 28 yards and ran for seven to position the Ficken field goal that sent the game to overtime tied at 24 with 20 seconds left in regulation. Boston College got the ball first in OT and scored on a 21-yard pass from Murphy to David Dudeck, but Howell's PAT attempt wasn't close. That opened the door for the Lions.
"I love Sam Ficken. He's been our best offensive weapon all year long," Franklin said. "He rang the bell on Wall Street the other day, and he rang the bell on the field goal [and winning PAT] to end it."
It's been a long journey for Ficken since Sept. 8, 2012, when he missed four field goals and a PAT in a 17-16 loss to Virginia. Ficken, a senior and a special teams captain, was assigned Derek Jeter's old locker in the Yankees clubhouse. "The equipment staff made it happen for me. No, I'm not a fan [he's a Cubs fan]. The way the game went and my career went, it's a funny thing. It was a storybook ending. I couldn't have written a better way for it to go."
This figured to be a defensive struggle, and with the exception of an exchange of big-play touchdowns 42 seconds apart, that's the way it went in the first half.
Hackenberg moved the ball into BC territory only to stall on the Nittany Lions' first two drives.

This week, a mini yet mighty surprise came in the mail today. The super cute Gear4 Espresso Wireless Bluetooth Speaker! The GEAR4 brand is owned and managed by Disruptive Hong Kong Limited (formerly Disruptive Ltd). GEAR4 was launched in 2006 and has been the market leader for both docking speakers and iPod and iPhone cases ever since. Aside from the aforementioned, they also have speaker docks and accessories as products.
TBH, I'm not really a fan of speakers because I listen to music with my earphones most of the time (yes, I don't like quiet and dull moments while working). I started using mini speakers when my Dada bought one and let me use it but the downside to that was it needed a cable/wire so that I could play music from my gadget(/s). But Espresso changed that!
What's Outside the Box
Here's what it looks like before I opened the box.
The reason why it's dubbed as Espresso is evident because of its coffee mug shape. It's a portable wireless universal bluetooth speaker with a range of 10 meters. Its features are already in the box and you can actually see the product from the outside so you could already have a good look at it.
Here's What's Inside:
What's inside the box: the Espresso unit, Quick Start Guide and the USB Cable.
Inside the box are three contents only. Upon opening, you immediately get to see the USB Cable you can use for charging the unit with your laptop, PC, or Mac. You can even use a USB charger for this. The Quick Start Guide, which is just a small piece of paper, tells you basic information about the product (i.e. how to turn it on/off, how to connect, its features, etc.) And of course, aside from the two, the unit itself.
An actual mug and the Espresso speaker. This photo is just to give you an idea of how small the unit is.
From the top view of the product, the opening of the mug is where the actual speaker is .The power button is at the bottom of the device and it plays a sound once you turn it on and off. You have to turn on the bluetooth of your device and once the Espresso is turned on already, it is already discoverable (bluetooth name: Espresso). The front view of the product only contains the name and logo of Digital Walker.
The carabiner handle of the Espresso is also a clip which enables you to attach the device to keys, bags, or anywhere it can actually hang. Isn't that amazing? The rear end is where you can find three important parts of the device:
- Left LED light – This notification light signifies whether the unit is connected to a device. Blue blinking light means the unit is not yet connected and it becomes a steady blue light once the unit is paired.
- DC IN port – For charging the device.
- Right LED light – This one is for the charging notification light. Once plugged in with the USB Cable, a steady red light appears to notify that the unit is charging. The light goes off once it is completely charged.
I just had to try to clip it in my bag! Hihi.
I tried the speaker with my iPhone4S and my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (I uploaded a video on Instagram while using it with my tab; it's not on full volume on the video). The battery percentage is easy to monitor with the iPhone because a vertical battery icon appears near the phone's batt and bluetooth icon, but this does not appear when I pair it with my tab.
Performance and Conclusion
I was able to use the Espresso speaker for four hours. It did stand true to its expected battery life plus it's easy to know whether the unit low on battery because it beeps every 30 seconds or so even if it's still playing. Charging the unit took me more or less two hours to finish it. I have to say I was surprised with the sound quality from the device because it's really powerful and the bass tone is almost surreal for a speaker of this size. Downside though is the unit has no volume control so you have to do it on your device. I also love the fact that it's portable and you can bring it anywhere. This is perfect for out of town trips and even at home. I am now a fan of wireless speakers because of this!
The Gear4 Espresso Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is distributed by Digits Trading and is available at Astroplus, Astrovision, Beyond the Box, Digital Hub Burgos, Digital Walker, District 32, iGig, iStore, IStudio, Mobile 1, and Technoholics for P1,350.

Stomach flu - a kind of hybrid of colds and gastrointestinal toxicity.Doctors are studying the virus that causes the development of this infection, more than 40 years.
Than to treat stomach flu in children and adults?
Despite the fact that most people, this disease is hard, it is diagnosed and treated quickly enough.
In medical terminology this disease given its name - gastroenteritis.The causative agent of gastric flu is rotavirus.Why popularly called gastroenteritis stomach flu?This title has received disease because it often appears during or after the regular flu epidemics.Although the virus that causes gastroenteritis, has been studied for a long time, an effective cure for it is found.However, years of struggle with the pathogen allowed to understand how to treat stomach flu in the early stages of the spread.On the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract can get rotavirus in different wa
greatest likelihood of contracting stomach flu have small children, due to malformed immune system.Besides childhood infection is transferred much harder.So, for example, a healthy adult with a slight indisposition infection gastroenteritis will feel in a few days, while rotavirus infection in the child will take place for 5-7 days.
Stomach flu because of its specific features is a fairly complex disease, so I just lie down in this case will not work.But before you treat stomach flu, ensure the accuracy of the diagnosis.In this regard, can not do without skilled care.However, the signal for treatment to the doctor and to provide first aid measures can be the following symptoms:
Stomach flu, as well as many other infections of the intestinal type, is developing quite rapidly: the incubation period is about 3-5 days.Already in the early stages there is a marked and intense symptoms.From other infections of the gastrointestinal tract gastroenteritis it is different in that cold symptoms first appear (runny nose, sore throat, etc.), and then to join dyspepsia.
question than to treat stomach flu, requires urgent solutions.Medical therapy is directed against gastroenteritis, primarily to reduce intoxication, and the restoration of the water-salt balance.For the most part, to treat stomach flu doctors suggest using symptomatic medications.This allows for reducing the impact of the virus in the blood, prevent dehydration and joining a secondary infection, and reduce toxicity.The main complex of measures for the treatment of stomach flu is as follows:
Receiving drugs in stomach flu can not only reduce the unpleasant symptoms of the disease, but also to normalize the functioning of the digestive tract.Than to treat stomach flu?In relation to this intestinal infection, doctors used the following drugs:

How to Exit as an Occupier
It is almost impossible to resist the temptation to draw a comparison between the situation in Iraq and the situation that will develop in the Gaza Strip following the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces.
The tone of voice of the interior minister and the defense minister of Iraq changed in the wake of the question put to them by a correspondent of the New York Times. In a press conference held on Thursday in Baghdad, while the assault on the city of Najaf was at its height, the American reporter wanted to know whether the honorable ministers thought - he asked each of them to reply in turn - the Iraqi government would be able to gain the support of the public while American and other occupation forces were carrying out military operations in the name of the government.
A few minutes earlier, the interior minister had reprimanded an Arab correspondent from the paper Al Sharq al Awsat, after he sought a reaction to the criticism voiced of the Iraqi government by the governor of Basra. However, the New York Times is treated differently.
Will it be all right if only one of us answers your question?
The correspondent said yes.
This dialogue is only a small example of the feeling being reported in the Iraqi press that American control of the country continues to be total despite efforts to present the Baghdad government as en independent entity.
In Najaf, for example, the Americans divided the work so that their forces operated outside the area of the Imam Ali Mosque, while the Iraqi army and police operated adjacent to the mosque, so no one would be able to claim that the Americans had damaged the Shi'ite holy place. But who gave the order to open fire? Who operated helicopters? Who decides if there will be negotiations with Moktada al-Sadr, the rebel cleric? It's all in the hands of the American command.
This kind of division of labor between a national government, which is still taking its initial steps on the way to obtaining legitimacy, and an occupation army is an interesting political effort. That's because military cooperation between a state which no longer has the formal status of occupied territory and a foreign force which no longer has the formal status of occupier, entails not only close coordination but above all goodwill and a significant giving up of prestige by both sides. On the face of it, the Iraqi government can ask the U.S. forces to get out anytime it pleases, just as the U.S. administration can decide that it cannot do without several vital areas in Iraq. But both the Iraqis and the Americans understand that at this stage of the war neither side has the option of operating without the other and neither side can afford to declare that there is no partner on the other side.
It is almost impossible to resist the temptation to draw a comparison between the situation in Iraq and the situation that will develop in the Gaza Strip following the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces. The IDF will continue to be the military force that will handle security in the Gaza Strip - if not from inside then certainly from just outside. The Palestinian administration, whatever form it takes, will need Israeli assistance in a thousand and one ways: from the supply of electricity and water to the transfer of patients and the maintenance of passageways for people and goods.
In any event, as in Iraq, the occupation will continue to exist even if new names are found for it. Like the United States, which was apprehensive about the possibility of allowing the Iraqis to manage their country by themselves, Israel too cannot abandon Gaza to the Gazans. The U.S. understood that it had to find a partner and it had to eat humble pie in order find its Iraqi partner. Some of the Iraqi cabinet ministers were at least crooks if not terrorists; aid funds for Iraq did not reach their destination under the new government; the new Iraqi army consists largely of Ba'ath Party members whom the U.S. civilian governor dismissed; an emergency regime has been declared in Iraq; the death penalty is again in force; and the aspiration for democracy will have to wait.
However, the U.S. has a partner that will not let its "Hamas," namely the separatists of Moktada al-Sadr, seize the reins of control. This partnership is the guarantee that the U.S. will be able to leave Iraq at some point. This is an important lesson, from which Israel, the most veteran of the occupying countries, can learn something: It's impossible to leave an occupied territory just like that; it's necessary first to find an alternative master, even if he is one-eyed and deaf.

A Book You Can Buy From Me
Book Title: The Dog with the Chip in His Neck
Author: Andrei Codrescu
Author's web site: http://www.codrescu.com/livesite/
Publisher: Picador
Date: 1997
Length: 304 pages
Quote: "I would like these pieces to serve as a combative form of silence. Some of them are radio essays from NPR, 1994-96, while others address revolution, food, America, sex, Romania, and language."
If you don't already know Andrei Codrescu's distinctive voice, you're in for a treat. Although his English is flawless, it's made unique by his having learned Romanian, and I suspect a few other languages, first. He makes verbal connections that native English speakers would probably never have made. Once made the connections make sense, and shed light on his subjects.
He shares stories from his childhood in "Communist" Romania, and from the history and literature of that country, too. I don't know of anyone else who's tried to translate Romanian poetry into English. Codrescu has; there's a fragment that appears in Romanian on page 147 and in English on page 148.
Codrescu loves the United States in a way few other people could. He's enjoyed being here. He does not think that any movement in the direction of socialism or totalitarianism would be positive "progress." On the other hand he's still European enough to see our cultural shortcomings clearly, and Jewish enough to feel entitled to correct his friends in a witty and affectionate way.
Does that tell you whether you'll agree or disagree with the essays in The Dog with the Chip in His Neck? No; the essays cover so many different topics that you'll probably agree with some and disagree with some. I wish Codrescu hadn't experimented with drugs and then written so frankly about it. I think there's the danger that kids will think recreational drugs help people like them to write like Codrescu, instead of wondering whether, if he hadn't had a few more brain cells to spare than the average "experimenter" in the 1960s, Codrescu might have won a Nobel Prize. I think he's far too laid-back and tolerant in describing a student, whom he calls Adrienne, who's using hard drugs and lesbian affairs as temporary relief for depression. Maybe his brain isn't wired to think of more effective solutions to Adrienne's problems, maybe he's just too nice a teacher to inquire what those problems are, but he ought at least to be aware of the side effects of the drugs discussed on pages 209-210.
Here's another fact about The Dog with the Chip in His Neck that may determine how much you'll enjoy the book: a lot of the points of agreement and disagreement will be artistic. Because Codrescu was a teacher giving mini-lectures on NPR, he often talked about very new, very old, or very obscure books and works of art. Even if you're a writer or artist, you've not read or seen a lot of the works discussed; you won't be able to agree or disagree, intelligently, until you have, and that was the point. If you really enjoy this kind of book, it will lead you to read other books, and even watch movies and visit museums. You can use this book as a substitute for, addition to, or refresher of a college survey course in "The Humanities."
And you will probably laugh out loud, so it's nice that most of the funny essays are one-page pieces (spread out onto two half-pages) that you can easily share with people who may wonder why you're laughing.
This one became a Book You Can Buy From Me because I've replaced and discarded an old, dirty copy. It's recent enough and was popular enough that you can get cheap copies directly from Amazon. If you buy it from this website, the $5 price and $5 shipping includes a $1 payment to Andrei Codrescu (or the charity of his choice).

Winner!By: PommyJ on 8 July 2015These are perfect on the 45 wall home wall - hard to hold on to (which is a good thing!) but not painful or awkward. I thought the shiny texture on the bottom was just a bit of a gimmick, but it's slippery as and does the job.

Marking the settings for the Nodal Ninja 4 head
Once the settings made for your lens and unlike the heads Manfrotto303 especially, there's no need to take notes to mark the settings (at least when you only work with one lens) because the Nodal Ninja 4 head is sold (like models 3 and 5) with two small metallic plates that can be screwed in marked reglets, stopped against the vertical arm AND the stage supporting the camera once they're set. To replace the vertical arm and the camera in the right position, you just have to set them against these little plates again. Unbeatable even in the dark!
The small stage that lets us see part of the clamping screw below comes against the vertical arm for the bottom and against the camera for the top, once it is set at the entrance pupil. It is very convenient!
Turn the vertical arm over to shoot the nadir
In the tutorial dedicated to the creation of virtual tours on this site, I wrote an article about shooting the nadir with a tripod. To do so, you need to rotate the vertical arm from 180° in order to tie the camera above empty space by putting it as far away as possible from the arms of the tripod. On the Nodal Ninja 4 head (as well as on models 3 and 5 even if model 3 is a bit too short), you just have to unscrew completely the screw under the inferior stage (image above on the left) holding the vertical arm to be able to rotate it from 180° (image below on the right). And for that, no need for a screwdriver because the screw is very large and pleasant to touch. It's very convenient. And yet Nodal Ninja can do even better... Here's how.
1 - First solution: turn the arm over
When you're trying to shoot a complete sphere in order to realize a virtual tour and if you want to get the best possible quality, it is better to shoot the nadir leaving the camera on the panoramic head in order to keep the camera close to the entrance pupil relatively to the ground but also, of course, to be able to shoot photos with long exposure times.
Note that it's no illusion that spherical heads are seldom robust enough for the arm not to bend a little under the weight of the camera as you can imagine in the picture on the left.
2 - Second solution: nadir adapter
Nodal Ninja produces a small accessory that comes between the vertical arm and the inferior stage and that enables to turn it over even more easily without dismounting it. You just have to unscrew the small nut above and turn the stage over. It couldn't be easier! And it even has the good consequence to put the camera even farer from the tripod in order not to photograph its arms.
Once the adapter inserted between the inferior reglet and the vertical arm, you just have to unscrew the nut above and turn the arm over on 180°. The movement is "marked" every 90°. Beautiful equipment.
Conclusion and rating!
Nowadays, the Nodal Ninja 4 (and its sisters 3 and 5) are most certainly the best designed spherical heads on the market. They're light, not bulky at all and adaptable. The vertical arm can be turned over easily and it is possible for those who always use it with the same lens to use the base notched by brass clips only hence without the RD positioner, heavier and more expensive.
My opinion: My favorite head for light body/lens pairs (-1,500 grs) to realize a virtual tour or support a heavier body but to make a simple panorama without a bulky lens. Convenient, rather light, well finished and designed. Fancy item!

I went here for dinner last night. One of the most beautiful patio's in Calgary (right up there with Cilantro), but the food here is sub-par. This has been my 3rd time I've been taken there in about the last year and each meal is continually bland. Too bad, its a nice space.
Does anyone else hate it when they dont put salt on the table? I know this is the way chef's are saying that there food doesn't need any more flavour, but its annoying when the dish is truly bland...and you're paying $25 for it.
I had the scampi liguini which said it was in a spicy tomato cream sauce. not one tablespoon of cream, not even approaching spicy a..just tomatoes. adnt he linguini was dried out like it hadnt been tossed with the sauce in the pan. My mom had the pesto linguini with scallops which also had no flavour. their version of the ceasar salad to start was nice tho..and the wine list is at leat appropriately priced and not 'everything $40 or more'.

Looking for Work on the Internet
I was searching for freelance work on the internet, and I found many results asking for a page from the story being published- without pay. I created this simple comic about the frustration of looking for connections on the web. It's a simpler style than what I've done before. I've learned meeting people face to face is a much better experience than communicating online.

The Canadian Election Predictions Project results as of 4EDT (riding breakdowns are on-site)
Liberal Party: 121
Conservatives: 105
Bloc Québécois: 52
Other: 1
For the Punters: final odds at Best Betting:
Paul Martin: 0.01/1
Stephen Harper: 0.25/1
Jack Layton: 99
Gilles Duceppe: 499
The most significant influence in this campaign hasn't even happened yet.
But it will, at around 3pm pacific time, when Western Canadians will turn on their TV's, radios, and computers, and see election results stream in, before they cast their ballot.
The media blackout has been lifted.
And almost 5 million citizens will get a chance to vote, strategically, based on the eastern outcome.
It is that most frightening thing for political scientists: an untested variable.
The web is chocked full of goodness when it comes to these results:
The Globe has realtime results as well as regional breakdowns and interactive maps to the riding level.
CTV and CBC both offer live streaming of the results and the e-night cast. Neither are giving any glimpse into particular web-specific, value-added, content for the night.
The CBC's web wiz Tod Maffin is trawling the net to offer goodies to the TV radio side: "if you have a web cam at home -- even a cheap one -- we are now accepting short commentaries on what this election has meant to you, if you felt the leaders have addressed your issues, etc. Just go to here."
Wish it was more of a two way, interactive, conversation.
Canwest / Global is concentrating on the TV side, offering extensive local cut-ins of Kevin Newman's national show. Online: "The Decision Canada web site will also feature the latest election stories and exclusive post-vote polls, blogs and discussion.
Here's tonight's line up, courtesy Jim Bawden at The Toronto Star
CBC News revs up with a special edition of The National at 6 p.m. followed, from the Centre Block of Parliament Hill, by live coverage at 7 p.m. anchored by Peter Mansbridge with analysis from Keith Boag.
CBC promises to go live inside the war rooms of the three parties, with commentary from Mike Robinson of the Liberals, Tim Powers of the Conservatives and Dawn Black of the New Democratic Party. Covering from the regions are reporters Alison Smith (Atlantic Canada), Susan Bonner (Montreal), Don Newman (Toronto), Carol MacNeil (Calgary) and Ian Hanomansing (Vancouver). CBC's Wendy Mesley is with Paul Martin in Montreal, Eric Sorenson is with Stephen Harper in Calgary, Julie Van Dusen is with Jack Layton in Toronto and Jennifer Ditchburn is with Gilles Duceppe in Montreal. From time to time Rick Mercer will air "rants" on the election.
CTV's coverage starts early at 6:30 p.m. live from CTV's Election 2004 studios in Toronto, with old smoothies Lloyd Robertson and Craig Oliver anchoring the night. The panel of experts includes Edmonton North former Conservative (Alliance, Reform) MP Deborah Grey, Newfoundland's former federal Liberal leadership aspirant Brian Tobin, NDP strategist Judy Darcy, former Parti Québécois cabinet minister Joseph Facal and pollster Darrel Bricker.
On the road, CTV has reporters Lisa LaFlamme and Roger Smith (with Martin in Montreal), Tom Clark and Joy Malbon (with Harper in Calgary), Mike Duffy (with Layton in Toronto) and Rosemary Thompson (with Duceppe in Montreal). There will be cut-aways to CFTO for local Toronto results. Once it's over, there's a special wrapup, anticipated to start at about 11:30.
Global TV and sister station CH start at 6:30 with Kevin Newman hosting the news, followed at 7 by live coverage. Barry McKay of Wilfrid Laurier University is the expert. Global plans 30 minutes of live coverage every hour plus live coverage of key races across the country. Regional return desks will provide the fast-breaking results.
And don't forget to vote.
To paraphase Forrest Gump: tepid is, as tepid does.
Let's admit it. No one has been inspired by this election, outside the relatively small circle of political partisans and activists.
The 20 million or so Canadian citizens voting today will cast their weary eyes on the ballot, shrug their shoulders and, for the most part, hold their nose while they vote.
Except in Quebec, where they'll vote, overwhelmingly, to have nothing to do with the rest of Canada.
This mean, IMHO, a Liberal minority. They'll hold the east, lose some seats in Ontario to the NDP while the Tories will smugly wallow in the nostalgia of olden times. ("We're bringing the west back!" (psst: but only because the Right was such a failure for the past decade.))
Make no mistake.
This means the Liberals will win.
They will win because they will come into Government with such low public expectations, that there is no way but up.
Its not a vote of confidence. Its a vote of: well, show us what you can do because someone's got to do it.
But a mandate, even a minority, could do much to dispell the Chetiean scandals that have plagued the Liberal campaign. Martin will, quite rightly, be able to demand accountbility on his own government's merits, and the oppositon will have to focus on the present, not the past.
And Paul Martin, dependant on the support of third parties, will have to prove he's a better PM than PM candidate.
This is no easy task. But those who know Martin, would say he has a unique focus to do it: his own record of fiscal conservatism, his father's deep passion for social justice, his chosen committment to Quebec.
Martin is, perhaps ironically given his father's legacy, the best Canadian leader, since Pearson to lead such an effort.
Whether he'll get the backbench depth to form a solid cabinet, whether he'll draw on more seasoned staff, to accomplish this is another matter.
Martin's the man in the spotlight.
Pick your songs carefully.
The judges are fickle.
And Harper is waiting in the wings.

If I could bottle this election, the label would read: "Memories of David Peterson" summer campaign sauce.
Sure it looks like the old Liberal ketchup. But they promise you it's all new and improved. The taste is bland, but still manages to mask the meat of the election. And then you wonder why you've been forced to go to this BBQ at all.
Ok, the metaphor ran thin around the second line.
But it sure seems like Ontario 1990 all over again.
Despite high polling numbers, voter appetite for change was even higher. Support was soft. Opposition parties, previously ineffectual, had rising credibility.
And no one knows why an election was called, other than expedient political strategy.
Both Liberal campaigns were high on daily campaign press ops and stunts: slick ops and advance for the cameras, but a mushy message. This nebulous "vote for me if you love Canada" theme. (Its the old marketing stunt of pushing people to attach their own personal value into the product: Coke is "it". What is "it"? Whatever you want "it" to be. Who is Martin? Martin represents Canadian values. What are Canadian values? Whatever you want them to be.)
Which brings us to Martin's recent attack ads. If you're going to wrap yourself in the Canadian flag, present yourself as the protector of Canadian values, you had better be Captain Canada. Chretien could pull off those kind of campaign theatrics. Martin? I have no doubt about his love of country. His staff may see the passion on a daily basis, but the public still sees a Martin as a Finance Minister, the man that brought down Chretien.
The Libs new "west wing" strategy, "Let Martin be Martin," is an attempt to establish a leadership image, and his one strong point: high personal poll numbers.
What's the other reason for voting for Peterson / Martin? He's not the opposition.
But once again, the third place parties have latched on to a salient issue, using it to weaken the Liberal theme. In 90 Harris played bad cop, hitting the Libs fiscal responsibility message with attack ads on taxes and Patti Starr scandals; this time its Layton, poking holes in the Libs social consciousness balloons. It works because they have credibility launching the attack.
Then there's the heavy third party influence. In 90 it was any protester within megaphone range of a bored media. This time is the Liberals themselves: McGuinty's health tax, Campbell's BC burnout, etc.
The media, seeing a real horse-race, is having a ball.
Rae and Harper, meanwhile, watching in stunned amazement as they gain ground by doing nothing.
Which bring us to the debates.
Watch for the opposition leaders to gang up on Martin, to try and make general dissatisfaction stick to Martin personally. Expect a lot of "But when you were finance minister..." Like Peterson in '90, Martin needs to take on all comers, and strike KOs, in the debates. He has to be the last leader standing. But that rarely happens. If it doesn't, the post-debate spin will go against Martin.
Blame the folks in the test kitchen. You can sell the sizzle, but the steak is still undercooked.

Remarkable comments from Paul Martin, on the recent poll numbers: (via Yahoo/Reuters):
"That's my vision and it's one that I'll be asking Canadians to accept. Now if they don't, they don't. I didn't come into public life simply to get elected," he told a news conference in Vancouver.
So: What are the numbers?
IPSOS reid has the Grits at 34%, the Tories just four points behind: " after a week of campaigning the bottom has fallen out of the Liberal strong-hold in Ontario. If an election were held today the survey shows Canadians would elect a weak Liberal minority.
But, the daily tracking from CPAC / SES still shows Libs on top by 11 point, with NDP gaining strength. (interesting to note 53% say it is "time for change")
It is a horse race.
Betting may not be legal -- but at least one internet bookmaker has placed the odds, Martin in the lead.

Theresa Zolner at the Heart of Canada Blog writes, at length, on Paul Martin's Monday stop at a Saskatoon school.
Everyone sang O Canada along with the choir. It felt so special. Then, PM and his team entered the room with "It's a Beautiful Day" literally blaring from the speakers, and the entire mood changed dramatically.
His entrance had a real "campaign" feel to it. Ok, it's an election. What got to me, though, was that he didn't sing with the kids or come in to hear the welcome song or the band play. Don't tell me the school arranged it that way. Campaign teams typically set the itinerary and, even if the school had arranged it that way, a savvy team would have made it a point to have the PM hear the students perform and then sing the national anthem along with them. It felt so wrong.
It is all, apparently, downhill from there as PMPM ignores the students and plays to the cameras -- of course, the whole purpose of modern campaigns.
Now Zolner is, clearly, no Liberal fan.
But where else, but a blog, are Canadians gonna get this kind of local, grassroots, political commentary?
(UPDATE: ok, try the Globe Blog, where Campbell Clark casts a pro's eye, and finds more to Martin's pitch: The truth, however, is that the answers were better, and more revealing.
And Paul Wells notes "Heart of Canada", and wonders if he's caught a "virulent, fast-acting strain of Stockholm Syndrome. ":
... I didn't say the guy was perfect. What he did was show himself to be competent and engaging in a discussion about foreign policy, trade policy, security policy. The very stuff and essence of a national government's unique role.
Also from Wells (UPDATE: Wells' comment now deleted on Blog --- no explanation. Did PM fill the time?):
Question of the Day: With the polls going the way they are, why does the workaholic prime minister of Canada have a schedule for today that provides him with a cumulative total of five hours in Vancouver away from any public event and any reporter?
Just click on any of the politicals blogs.
By tomorrow, the Liberal's slip in the polls will be spun into a full blown crisis; the Girt's internal war will wholly dominate coverage.
Keep an eye on Kinsella.

Here are seven convincing reasons why you ought to begin utilizing bulk SMS as a component of your promoting effort when now!
It's a sure consideration grabber-In the over communicated world we now get ourselves, consideration is a rare product and it is very pined for by advertisers. Organizations that are prosperous are the ones that have the eyeballs of their clients and potential clients. What's more, they for the most part pay for it through the nose.
Yet, today, it doesn't need to be that way – on account ofbusiness bulk SMS that offers you some assistance with getting the consideration of you're focused on gathering of people… economically and surely. Individuals essentially can't stand the sound of a ringing phone – they generally feel they must look at it. It takes a shot at the regular human interest. Truth is told, the ringing phone is said to be the most capable sound on the planet! Furthermore, individuals dependably convey their phones with them all around them.
Numerous organizations battle this sort of fight with their clients and potential clients – a fight they are constantly sure to lose on the grounds that customers can choose to disregard advertisers' adverts with no danger to the purchaser. Be that as it may, with bulk SMS, it's essentially difficult to overlook instant messages without understanding them first.
Phone calls can be disregarded, TV advertisements can be skipped, daily paper promotions can be ejected, online flag advertisements can be rejected, however bulk SMS for business can't be overlooked simply like that.

That is similar to other showcasing techniques like TV and radio advertisements, daily paper and Internet promotions.

I need to be able to go to a nearby market, take hot showers, call the US, and watch TV/DVDs. I Love beauty, and SCENIC locations...I am a visual person. Being able to look off the beach and see other island is a must. I don't like flat places with just water to see around me. I am bringing a toddler...PLEASE HELP...I just want rest with the chance to go out fro a fun daily activity. I don't want the island to be tooo boring, but not to loud and crowded at the same time.

Best Caribbean Island to go January thru March

"I would like to spend less than $33/day in housing."
Not going to find anything for this price in Grand Cayman. A real challenge on the other islands you are considering as well. I have read about some places in the neighborhood of $50 US in Grenada, but never stayed in a place like that.
"Being able to look off the beach and see other island is a must. I don't like flat places with just water to see around me."
This describes Grand Cayman and Aruba to a 'T'. You will not see other islands from Grenada either, but certainly not flat. The Virgin Islands (US & British) & the Grenadines offer the best views of other islands, but meeting your lodging budget may be difficult.
You may want to add Puerto Rico to your list since it may have lodging within your budget and meet some of your other criteria.
Report Abuse
Your biggest problem is your budget of $33/day for lodging, I'm sorry to say that's pretty unrealitic for the Caribbean. If you do find that in any of the places you tagged please let us know. We just returned from Aruba and believe me, it's not cheap. We never saw other islands from Aruba but maybe we weren't looking in the right place.
Good luck, I hope you will find a vacation to suit your needs.

sklyles posted this same question last week. She is looking for a apartment rental and has a budget based on $1,000/mo rental (hence the $33/day figure). The trouble is that amount of rent in the Caribbean usually applies to "long term rentals" (1 or 2 years) on very basic apartments not necessarily in the best of areas and often not furnished or inclusive of utilities. She obviously didn't like the earlier responses. Three month rentals for furnished apartments on most islands are very difficult to find in that price range. You are talking more like $1,000/week.
Anyway, her best bet it to contact a couple of real estate rental agents on the islands that interest her. they may be able to find something that fits her budget. Do a google search using topics such as "Real Estate Rentals + NAME OF ISLAND". That will get her started.

US Virgin Islands will meet most of your criteria

You may be able to find something close to your price range in Grenada .. take a look at the official tourist board's website under 'guest houses, inns, etc., to see what is on offer ... www.grenadagrenadines.com. The island also offers everything else that you are looking for.

I've been to Grenada twice and stayed at the Flamboyant. Nearby there were private small inns/residences that would definitely have been more economical. Grenada is beautiful, lush, tropical, hilly (and hence great vistas). We always felt safe - people were very friendly - used the public bus sometimes. There are economical restaurants from pubs, jazz bars, pizza, cafes. The beaches are beautiful. The main beach is the Grand Anse and if you stay near there you could walk/swim anywhere as resorts do not cordon-off (sp?)their area.

Hi Hannah,
I'm so excited at the prospect of your book but this post has shown me how little I knew about the publishing process. I'd intended to put it on my Christmas wish list but I will carry it forward to next year and, instead, start dropping hints to my other half about John Sergeant's autobiography. ;o)
PS. Hope you're still enjoying SCD - your two favourites are doing really well.

Oh Stately I didn't even know that JS had an autobio coming out - I will definitely have to get this. Still loving Strictly and very much looking forward to Saturday.
The publishing world is news to me too - I had never imagined that things could take this long - but they do!
Bellini - thanks so much for the award! I really appreciate it as it has been a bleak few weeks here and lacking all inspiration for blogging and cooking. It was just what I needed - thank you
