I'm not known for winning anything (except for a book by one of my favourite authors, Barbara Erskine 2 years ago), so it was with stunned disbelief that I started to read an email sent from Silversurfers- the other online magazine for over 50s! – last October.
It congratulated me on winning the prize of 7 days in The Gambia for 2 people, including the hotel and flight. Well! What a lovely way to start a dull autumnal week!
Within a couple of days I'd arranged that my sister-in-law would join me (I'm single) and we had extended our stay to 10 days and booked for February, as this was when I would be celebrating (not sure that's the right word, but still…) an important birthday. We duly checked out the vaccinations recommended, adding up to several, and resulting in sore arms for a few days. Having been on safari in Kenya some years ago I knew the score about endemic diseases, such as malaria and yellow fever, and we also invested in anti-malarial tablets and various sprays and lotions.
After booking a hotel for pre-and post-travel from Gatwick, our 'free' holiday was proving not to be quite free, but it was still a bargain and an exciting chance to get away to the heat and sun in the middle of our dreary winter. And as any woman does, I checked out the sales and bought some floaty and colourful clothes appropriate for the African climate, unfortunately not likely to be needed much in our English summers.
Vaccinations taken
Then disaster struck!
You may have seen or heard it on the news at the time – the country's President Jammeh, defeated in a democratic election in December, refused at the last minute to give up power and called a state of emergency – 2 weeks before we were due to fly out. The unfortunate tourists already in The Gambia were evacuated hastily over the next couple of days and the British tour companies cancelled further flights until the end of January. Our flight was on 7th February! That morning, while I tried to get through by phone to Serenity Holidays, the company behind the prize holiday,
I began to wish I'd never won it. My stomach was leaden and I was in a daze. Talk about having something snatched away from you at the last minute☹
President Jammeh
President Barrow
A couple of hours later, the lovely Maxine returned my call and managed to sound upbeat, considering the circumstances. She advised me not to cancel the booking, but to hang on for another week as the situation could change, but if it didn't I'd be able to travel later in the year. Although this wasn't much comfort, it was good to know we could still have a holiday, even if not until about October or November, when the winter season began.
Hotels tended to close in April through the summer during the rainy season.
Well, over the next few days I hardly came off the internet, constantly googling The Gambia for updates, even setting up a Google alert. I should have been writing my latest novel, but lacked all concentration and interest. I became a woman obsessed☺ Events moved apace. The other West African nations formed a united front against the dictator Jammeh, sending thousands of troops to the Gambian border, while other heads of state tried to talk him into stepping down and allowing the new President, Adama Barrow, to be inaugurated as had been arranged. Barrow had to make do with an inauguration in next door Senegal while the discussions dragged on. By the way, this coincided with the inauguration of President Trump that week, something which drew many comparisons and comments at the time!
By the beginning of the following week, the situation in The Gambia looked clearer. Jammeh had flown off to Equatorial Guinea, one of the few countries not a party to extradition treaties, taking a stash of money and luxury cars with him. Soldiers moved in to clear the way for Barrow, searching for possible hidden weapons and any soldiers loyal to Jammeh who might pose a threat to the new President.
Barrow remained in Senegal but, wonderful news! – he rescinded the state of emergency – thereby allowing the Foreign Office to advise tourists it was now safe to travel to The Gambia. Flights began shortly after and our holiday was back on☺

Antarctic sealife faces iceberg onslaught
26 September 2011, by Tamera Jones
Scientists have provided the first proof that a warming climate around the West Antarctic Peninsula is damaging the region's marine life.
They found that shrinking winter sea ice, caused by warming, has led to a large and rapid increase in the number of icebergs in the area over the last 25 years.
More icebergs means more battering of the shallow sea floor, which has killed off countless marine creatures called bryozoans.
Bryozoans are bottom-dwelling animals. Some are just millimetres long and look like corals, while others reach up to a metre tall and wide and resemble seaweed. They may not be a familiar name, but, 'in Antarctica, they're one of the most common and abundant species that live in the shallows,' says Dr David Barnes from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), who led the study.
Indeed, bryozoans are responsible for a large proportion of the biodiversity on the continental shelf around the West Antarctic Peninsula, and Barnes says it's highly likely that what's happening them is also happening to other life on the region's seabeds.
'Typically it's very difficult to demonstrate a clear link between climate change and biology. You have to have a long, detailed time-series, which is what we had.'
David Barnes, British Antarctic Survey
'When icebergs smash into the seabed, it's violent and very little survives that action. What we're seeing is that these massive impacts on seabed biology are happening more and more frequently,' he says. 'It's worrying, because these animals are struggling to reach maturity before they are killed off.'
Barnes and his co-author Terri Souster, who's also from BAS, suspected that icebergs grinding against the seabed would harm marine life, but they found proving this far from easy.
They set up grids of 25 concrete markers at three different depths – 5, 10 and 25 metres – on the seabed around Rothera research station. They then went back every year to inspect them to see how the seabed coped with so-called iceberg scouring.
'Surveying just one grid could take a couple of days. You've got low visibility, leopard seals, not to mention freezing water, so it's a lot of work in a challenging environment,' says Barnes.
He and Souster also analysed long-term records of the duration of winter sea ice, which scientists call fast ice. This type of ice holds icebergs together, stopping them crashing around. The researchers also compared the numbers of bryozoan colonies in the different regions of their grids.
'We choose bryozoans, because they're abundant, common and don't move, so are much easier to study than rare or mobile species,' explains Barnes.
Disappearing ice
They found that since 1986, fast ice has lasted for more than 160 days in good years. But in bad years, it's typically only lasted much less than 100 days. What's more, bad years are becoming more frequent, and the fast ice isn't lasting as long.
This means more icebergs smashing into the seabed, with a devastating effect on bryozoans.
In 1997, around 1 in 1000 colonies reached five years old – beyond the age they reach sexual maturity. But now, less than 1 in 1000 colonies make it their third birthday. 'Now we've got to the point where the population is made up of animals nearly all of which are too young to reproduce,' says Barnes.
'Typically it's very difficult to demonstrate a clear link between climate change and biology. You have to have a long, detailed time-series, which is what we had,' he adds.
He stresses that satellites wouldn't have picked this up, because they have trouble distinguishing between different types of sea ice like icebergs and fast ice. Not just that, but data from satellites is typically on the wrong scale to easily detect biological changes.
'Satellites might have a 25 square kilometre footprint, but you need much more detailed resolution to notice physical changes or changes that might be relevant to seabed biology. It's much easier to do this with ground-based measurements.'
Now he and Souster have uncovered a clear link between climate change and biological change in the West Antarctic Peninsula, Barnes says the next thing is to assess, 'other effects of this massive physical impact on biology. Has this changed the community on the seafloor to one more dominated by pioneers? Is there any change in the amount of carbon this part of ocean life can bury now?'
The findings are published in Nature Climate Change.

Carlos reminded me that January is the greatest month for televesion. Not only do seasons start back up from the fall, but new seasons start and run to the summer. Two of my favorite shows that are starting in January are Lost and 24. I love them both and have watched every episode. I was an early adopter on 24, watching from day one. I was a little late to the game on Lost, starting around the end of season two, I begin the journey of watching on DVD and wasting 5 hours of my day because I could not push the stop button.
So, which show are you more excited about, Lost or 24?
If neither, then what show are you excited about starting up in January?

Braces are certainly not a thing of the past nowadays. They have been here for a long time now that helps in getting teeth the correct alignment and place for the mouth. Braces are made by Orthodontists that already helped millions of people bring back their beautiful smile. Cosmetic dentistry procedures have been the answer for many individuals that had teeth problems since they were young. Teeth alignment by the help of braces has been proven to correct crooked teeth and the spaces between them. It might take many months or years to align teeth but the results can be successful. After the long wait you will see the difference between then and now. Braces are a very popular way of fixing teeth problems and as early as a young age, children and parents are advised to visit an Orthodontist to see if there might be a problem with their teeth and take preventive measures so that there will be no further or serious problems in the future.
Braces are not just for correcting teeth, they are also made with beautiful designs and colors to enhance the look on your teeth. Braces come with rubber bands that help pull the teeth together and these bands have fun colors to choose from. Some people tend to have braces fixed to their teeth even if there is just a very slight problem with their teeth, the reason is that they love to add accessories to their over-all look. Braces for some people are like jewelry that adds to their personality.
Orthodontists recommend that children as early as age 7 should be accompanied by their parents to have a pre-screening for their teeth to avoid future problems and at the same time be evaluated of what to do if there is already a problem with the teeth. Crooked and misaligned teeth can be a problem for speech or biting problems. Prevention is better than cure, better see an Orthodontist just to be safe.

James Franco (born 19.04.1978) James Franco is an American actor who rose to fame with his role on the cult TV show 'Freaks and Geeks' 1999 but is best known for starring in 2001 biopic 'James Dean' and playing Harry Osborn in the 'Spider-Man' film trilogy that began in 2002.
Childhood: James Franco was born in Palo Alto, California. His parents are Betsy Lou, a poet and author, and Doug who was the owner of a shipping container security firm before he passed away in 2011. James was talented at mathematics and became an intern at the technology company Lockheed Martin. He attended Palo Alto High School and was arrested several times as a youngster for petty crimes. He attended the University of California in LA majoring in English but soon dropped out, preferring to chase his acting career. He took acting lessons whilst working an evening shift at McDonalds to fund it. In 2006, he enrolled at the university again and graduated in 2008.
Acting Career: James Franco made his first big break in 1999 with the comedy 'Freaks and Geeks'. In that year, he made an appearance in his first movie, 'Never Been Kissed'. In 2000, he took on a bigger role in 'Whatever it Takes'. James received true recognition when he was selected for the eponymous role in 'James Dean' in 2001. To get into character, he started smoking, riding a motorcycle and learned guitar. His efforts were duly awarded with a Golden Globe. In 2002, James became internationally famous when he played the role of Harry Osborn in Sam Raimi's 'Spider Man' trilogy. In the same year, he was in the poorly reviewed crime drama 'Sonny' and played a drug addled tramp in 'City by the Sea'. James has been in several independent movies throughout his career including the 2003 ballet flick 'The Company' and fantasy drama 'Camille' in 2007. In 2008, he portrayed Harvey Milk, the first gay politician elected into public office, in the biopic 'Milk' and also became a stoner in the comedy 'Pineapple Express'. James received an Academy Award nomination for his leading role in '127 Hours' in 2010 and later landed a role in 'Planet of the Apes' remake 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' in 2011. He is set to star as the titular character in 'The Wizard of Oz' sequel 'Oz: The Great and Powerful' in 2013 and currently has a recurring role in ABC show 'General Hospital'. James Franco: Other Career Ventures James plans to direct movie versions of Stephen Elliott's 'The Adderall Diaries' and Philip Carlo's 'The Night Stalker' among others. He is currently adapting the film 'Child of God' from the book by Cormac McCarthy. He has directed projects before and even created several multimedia expeditions. He has written a gritty book about his teenage antics called 'Palo Alto: Stories' which was published in 2010.
Personal Life: James Franco has been in relationships with Marla Sokoloff and Ahna O'Reilly; the latter relationship ended in 2011 due to a clash of interests. There has been a lot of media speculation surrounding his sexuality because he has portrayed a number of gay characters in movies but he appears to deny these suggestions.
Tommu Wiseau is an ever secretive and Louisiana-born filmmaker who directed, wrote and starred in the 2003 romantic drama 'The Room' with Greg Sestero. It's a movie that has become a cult hit among film-lovers for all the wrong reasons, as it's considered to be one of the worst films ever made.
It follows the love triangle between banker named Johnny (Tommy's character), his lying wife Lisa ( protrayed by Juliette Danielle) and his best friend Mark (who is played by Greg Sestero). Amongst the random subplots that seemingly have no relation to the plot itself, we see Johnny struggling to quash Lisa's stories that she is the victim of domestic abuse.
James Franco stars as the filmmaker while his brother Dave Franco plays Greg Sestero in 'The Disaster Artist'; a comedic retelling of Sestero's 2013 memoir and a look at the making of this iconic flick. Amusingly Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero also star in this new movie - though they portray characters Henry and the casting agent respectively. Plus, Sestero previously claimed that Wiseau would only agree to this adaptation if he would be played by either James Franco or Johnny Depp.

Filmmakers Dan Bush and Conal Byrne attempt a mash-up of a frantic heist movie with supernatural horror. It's a clever idea, but the script isn't nearly as smart as it's trying to be, falling back on feeble attempts to generate suspense by throwing every cliche imaginable at the screen. The watchable cast makes sure we don't get bored, but it isn't long before we begin to suspect that there's nothing to this film at all.
It's set in a bank that has a history of robberies, including one that turned extremely violent years ago. Now sisters Lea and Vee (Francesca Eastwood and Taryn Manning) are working with their dim but useful brother Michael (Scott Haze) and a couple of hotheaded thugs (Keith Loneker and Michael Milford) to stage a heist in broad daylight. But nothing goes as planned, especially as a detective (Clifton Collins Jr.) immediately turns up outside. Inside, assistant bank manager Ed (James Franco) is trying to cooperate, but head teller Susan (Q'orianka Kilcher) won't stop talking about how the bank is haunted.
Continue reading: The Vault Review
Master filmmaker Ridley Scott is back to continue the story 10 years after the events of 2012's Prometheus. And while this film carries on with the bigger themes about creation and identity, at its heart it actually has much more in common with the film in which he kicked off the franchise, 1979's Alien. Yes, this is a horror movie. It's slickly made and packed with engaging characters, and it gets gruesomely scary too.
The setting is somewhere in space in 2104, as the colonising ship Covenant carries a few thousand sleeping earthlings to a new world, tended to by the android Walter (Michael Fassbender). Then a space flare awakens the 15-person crew, and they hear a rogue radio transmission from a nearby planet that's eerily perfect for colonisation. Captain Oran (Billy Crudup) thinks it's worth checking out, potentially shaving seven years off their journey. First officer Daniels (Katherine Waterston) isn't so sure. But off they go, exploring the spectacular mountainous terrain, where they find a crashed ship and a city populated only by the Prometheus' android David (also Fassbender) and some creepy, acid-salivating creatures that he has something to do with.
The plot plays out like a slasher movie, as the crew members are picked off one by one, starting with the ones we don't know and building up to the starrier cast members. Each main actor gets to invest some back-story into his or her role, establishing relationships and personality quirks that hold the interest. Waterston is clearly the protagonist from the start, grieving over the death of her husband (James Franco in video clips) and showing natural leadership skills. Crudup is the impulsive captain who mellows into someone much more intriguing as the story progresses. And McBride has the other standout role as a tenacious pilot. But of course it's Fassbender who walks off with the film, excelling in scenes in which Walter and David engage in a kind of twisted bromance with nasty sibling-rivalry undertones.
Continue reading: Alien: Covenant Review
James Franco leaving Los Angeles International Airport to head to SxSW - Los Angeles, California, United States - Friday 10th March 2017
Ten years after the disastrous expedition that was Prometheus, another group of space explorers band together on the ship Covenant, hoping to uncover a previously untrodden paradise. Among them are Daniels, an expert in terraforming, and Walter, a synthetic android who looks like a replica of David though much more advanced. Unfortunately, the paradise they hoped for doesn't exist and instead they bump into David himself who is 'living' in a world full of terrifying creatures. The face huggers are back, the xenomorph is definitely back, and there is a sickness that threatens to engulf them all.
Perhaps a dark prophecy of what's to come lies in the 'Last Supper' clip, where one of the crew members, Faris, starts apparently choking on her food as the pilot jokes, 'The food's not that bad'. The scene and the words themselves hearken back to the famous chestburster scene from the original 1979 film, where Kane suffers a grisly alien attack during the final meal before cryostasis. Thankfully, this time was just a minor choking incident, and Walter was on hand to save his team member.
'Alien: Covenant' is the second part in the new prequel series for the franchise, and the sequel to 2012's 'Prometheus'. Directed by the Oscar nominated Ridley Scott ('Blade Runner', 'The Martian') with a screenplay by John Logan ('Penny Dreadful', 'Spectre'), it has already made 7th place in the Most Anticipated Films of 2017 in the Indiewire Critics' Poll.

Writer-director John Hamburg continues to recycle the formula that made his first hit Meet the Parents so wildly popular, as this comedy pits two very different men against each other. And while it's never terribly clever, at least James Franco and Bryan Cranston are imaginatively cast as opposite forces. So audiences in search of escapism will find plenty to chuckle at as things spiral ludicrously out of control.
Cranston plays Ned, who travels with his wife Barb (the fabulous Megan Mullally) and teen son Scotty (Griffin Gluck) to Silicon Valley to spend the holidays with older daughter Steph (Zooey Deutch) and meet her boyfriend Laird (Franco). What they don't know is that Laird is an internet millionaire with absolutely no filter in how he interacts with people. Almost everything he says is inappropriate, and yet it's so honest that it's disarming. Still, Ned and Barb aren't too happy that their daughter is so serious about dating this guy. And with the help of his sidekick Gustav (Keegan-Michael Key), Laird goes completely over-the-top to impress them.
Much of the humour is of the gross-out variety, with the main running gag centring on an actual toilet. But at least the jokes aren't about embarrassment this time; they're about the clash between people who prefer to keep their true feelings bottled up inside and someone who can't help but be real, despite the fact that he shocks everyone he meets. This makes each person a little more complex than expected, and gives the actors some texture to work with, even though the script never bothers to even crack the surface. And while Cranston and Franco have more obvious comedy set-pieces to contend with, the film is stolen by Mullally and Key in roles that are more subtly hilarious and broadly amusing, respectively.

Stephen Elliot is a writer who's lost his way. He's previously had books fictional works published but his current case of writers block is causing disruption to his output. Another increasing problem with his creativity is a growing dependency of Adderall, an ADHD medication.
As Elliott learns of a fascinating murder case, he becomes more and more drawn to the story and the convicted murderer behind the crime. Whilst investigating the case, Elliott also finds himself going through a number of personal changes. His father, who pretty much abandoned his son as a young teenager, once again appears in his life and he's also introduced to a journalist called Lana Edmond which leads to a positive relationship for a man who mainly associates females with negative experiences.
Whilst trying to piece his new novel together, Elliott finds himself on a journey of self-discovery and must take his past to pieces to reveal exactly what's true and what's been fabricated in his mind.

Oleg Kozlovsky, Moscow Coordinator of the Russian opposition youth movement, Oborona, received the Human Rights Award 2008 from Human Rights First in New York on 24 October 2008. Dissident Lyudmila Alexeeva, human rights activist and senator Ted Kennedy, and former UN High Commissioner on Human Rights Mary Robinson (present at the ceremony) were among previous awardees.
A fragment from Oleg's acceptance remarks:
When Oborona was born three years ago, almost nobody in Russia had the bravery to stand up against the re-emerging authoritarianism and tyranny in the country. And no politician would speak the truth about who created this system—Vladimir Putin.
It was the youth that broke this conspiracy of silence and said, "Enough is enough". Many old political leaders considered us dangerous freaks and predicted our defeat. Some of those politicians are forgotten now, but others eventually joined us.
The movement that was born three years ago lives on and its activity, its very existence proves that every nation deserves justice, democracy, and freedom.
[…] It is an honor for me to receive this award on behalf the hundreds of anonymous true heroes who risk their well-being, their freedom and sometimes their lives without expecting any awards for this.

The Cincinnati Reds have claimed outfielder Gabriel Guerrero off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks, FanRag Sports learned on Monday afternoon. The Dominican-born outfielder has yet to appear in a regular season big league game while he may now receive the chance to do so for the struggling Reds.
According to MLB.com, Guerrero was ranked as the Diamondbacks' No. 10 overall prospect and No. 4 outfield prospect.
The soon-to-be 23-year-old stands at 6-3 while weighing 215 pounds. Upon arriving in Cincinnati, he will be joining an outfield already comprised of Adam Duvall, Billy Hamilton and Scott Schebler. The Reds also have the likes of Jose Peraza, Steve Selsky and Arismendy Alcantara on their current roster, which may hinder the up-and-comer's attempt at making the club's big league roster.
Last season, Guerrero split the campaign between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno in what would become his final stint as a member of the Diamondbacks' organization. Over the course of 126 minor league appearances in 2016, he batted just .234 with nine home runs and 54 RBI alongside an underwhelming .281 on-base percentage.
Over the course of his professional career, which began back in 2011, Guerrero has made a total of 633 appearances. During that time, he has batted .269 with 54 home runs and 333 RBI to accompany his .310 on-base percentage. Despite failing to reach the big league level at this point in his career, he has appeared at every minor league level from the rookie-ball ranks all the way up through Triple-A.
He is also notably the nephew of heralded outfielder Vladimir Guerrero.

Thanks Kelly,
Good info.
Since I installed the DVI cable ( at your suggestion) I went from 1024 X 760 to 1680 X1050, and the pic is very good.
I think for now, I'll just stick with what I have.
Thanks again,

Sorry, I wasn't trying to talk you out of buying anything, I was just saying you would have better picture quality with a smaller monitor @ 1080p. I'm sure the 27" 1080p would give you an incredible picture as well, and give you a ton of monitor real estate. If I had the choice of a 27" 1080p or that Dell 23" 1080p, I personally would get the Dell.....given both are around the same price. The Dell has a wonderful IPS panel, giving you almost 180* viewing angles, and better color reproduction. It also comes with an amazing stand. I know people that have had Dell Ultrasharps for several years and they are still incredible looking!

A computer monitor is the better choice for a computer. The picture quality will be better if you go with a 23/24" monitor over a 27".......a 23" 1920x1080 will have a higher pixel density than a 27" 1920x1080. If you want a 27" monitor, out of those you listed, go for the Asus. You can get a nice 23/24" 1080p monitor with a nicer IPS panel for a good price too....and you will DEFINITELY see a difference with that.
Take a look at this: Dell Ultrasharp I wish I had a few of these myself!
How about this one?

Hello All! Planning a 6 night trip to PR this July. Looking for ideas on how to go on a budget. Our resort is not all inclusive. Thinking about renting a car instead of hiring transfer from airports and such. Would love to do some exploring on the island. I notice the site where I plan to book our trip offers addon's for day trips to Culebra, but those are very expensive. Is it possible for us to just ride the ferry over and do our own thing once we get there? I want to take the kids snorkeling and sight see. Also, the same thing for the rain forest, can we just drive ourselves there and explore without a tour? I would love to be able to book the tours, but that is just not possible. Also, was hoping to find some fast food places to save some money for breakfasts and lunches. Dinners we will eat out somewhere nice. Are there plenty of fast food chains near the east part of the island? Any tips on safety? I'm a little concerned about the crime, but don't want to let it keep us from seeing a beautiful place. I would appreciate any advice at all!! Thanks in advance!!

Where are you staying?

Looking at the El Conquistador! Most likely there or the Wyndam Rio Mar.
Report Abuse
We stayed at the Wyndham Rio Mar twice ( last time two years ago) and would not go back unless a lot of things have changed. It's in a pretty remote location, so you're stuck eating expensive drinks/food on property unless you have a car. Also the beach was not well maintained. And the rooms had really old AC units which dripped into the room and ran noisily all night long. Unless it's been renovated/improved dramatically, I think you're much better off at the El Conquistador.
Report Abuse
In the past, we stayed in Isla Verde (at the Intercontinental), and there were several restaurants within walking distance (on the main drag) that were reasonable, and many others, a short cab ride away. The hotel restaurants tend to be pricey. I think the hotels you mention are both a bit remote, so without a car, you are pretty much tied down to the hotel dining.
We rented a car to go to El Yunque rainforest, and did it on our own. It's a pretty easy drive. Once you are there, there are several hiking options of various lengths, and some waterfalls that you can take a dip in. You don't need a guide. If I remember correctly, there were maps available with the info.
Report Abuse
Since you'll have a car, you can eat at the shacks on the beach in Loquillo, some of which were very good, but there can be a long wait. There's also a breakfast place a short drive from the hotel just before you reach the main highway.
Also the hotel is just across the street from the rain forest. That being said, I still think for accommodations, beach, entertainment ( there's a water park at El Conquistador, but you have to pay to go in even if you're a guest, I think), you're better off at El Conquistador.
Report Abuse
Wonderful! Thanks so much everyone for your input. I've read more good about El Conquistador than the other for sure. And the kids would love the water park for at least one day. I'm pretty set on a rental car, so I don't mind the remote location. Anyone know how expensive it is to ride the ferry to Culebra?
Report Abuse
The ferry to culebra is around $5 round trip. However, the trip takes a little planning ahead since there is only 1 ferry going to the island and it makes only 3 tips a day. The trips have a maximum amount of passengers and locals have priority. My advice would be to go on a weekday and get there at the very least at 8:00am. It is a public transportation system so be patient. Also you should think about renting a car when you get there. If you cannot make the trip, don't despair, you then have to do the ferry from the Conquistador hotel to Palominito island. It is a smaller island than culebra but the beach is nice. Since its mostly a tourist island you'll be around people wanting to have fun.
There are plenty of fast food restaurant near the Conquistador, about a 12 minute ride according to Google Maps but it feels like less. There is also a 24hr Walmart nearby and a CVS. Off the top of my head I can name a KFC, Taco Bell, I believe there is also a Pizza Hut and a Ponderosa. I also suggest the David's Cookies at the Conquistador for breakfast sandwiches to save some money. When you take the road down to the ferry, you will also pass some traditional Puerto Rican restaurants. Please stop by one, the crowdest one and have a mofongo (smashed fried plantain with a little garlic). It is a traditional dish and a true stamp the you came to visit us.
As to crime, just consider all of Puerto Rico as you would a large metropolitan city like Chicago or Philadelphia and exercise common sense. Don't leave valuables visible in the rental car. And I mean Laptops and such much more than coolers and clothes. But most importantly, do your research so you can travel confidently from place to place and you know where you are. Avoid places you do not know from your research or that look too dark at night. Etc. Most people will know you are a tourist but everyone is a tourist in that area. The great majority of us Puerto Ricans are extremely nice and helpful people. They will go out of their way, and language, to help you out. When asking for directions and such, you'll know who to ask. It's the same lady or gentleman you would ask directions to in the NYC subway.
Language can be an issue outside the hotel since many Puerto Ricans have trouble speaking English or are self-counsious about it. Just plan accordingly, ask for most direction at the hotel, and have fun.
You can also drive to the Rainforest (El Yunque) with little problem. There would be some narrow roads but there are signs to point you to in the right direction. If you are thinking about using a GPS, be aware that they usually have some weird ways of getting you to where you want to go. So if you are bringing yours, that is great because you already know how to use it and you can tell when it might be leading you off. If its the Car Rental's, rely more on your google maps print outs. Here is a worthwhile tip. Buy a full map at the airport. I have lived in PR all my life and I always have one in my car, although my IPhone is getting better and better.
I have never scuba dived (I know) but I am sure the hotel can give you tips on where to go if you cannot make it to Culebra. I know of an organization called Scuba Dogs, they might have some info.
If you need any extra help I believe my Facebook profile will show up. You can send me a message.
I must disclose here that I do not work for the Tourism company of PR. I just love doing internal tourism. Also when I travel, I like to do just what you are doing.

We stayed at the Las Casitas section of El Conquistador last week. We had a one bedroom with
full kitchen, washer/dryer, pullout couch in living room. It was great. Had we been more organized we would have stocked up the fridge with breakfast foods and drinks to take to the beach. Our unit was in a building closest to El Con.
Free parking at Las Casitas. This part of the resort is quieter and beautiful. We had lunches on the resort, but only one dinner there. We had amazing food elsewhere.
There are tons of fast food places off the hotel grounds. The drive to the rainforest or Old San Juan is kind of bleak and unattractive, unfortunately.
I loved the trip we took. Good blend of beach and activity.

Unity in Naperville
The Twelve Powers Trailer from James Twyman on Vimeo.
2017 is an exciting year for Unity in Naperville! We're celebrating our 10th anniversary throughout this year and we're kicking off the celebration with food, fun, and a wonderful new film. NY Times bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker, James Twyman has chosen Unity as his subject for three important films to be produced over the next few years. The first is being released in hundreds of Unity churches around the country over the next few weeks, entitled A Sound Called Unity – The Twelve Powers. This feature documentary introduces us to a group of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian leaders who traveled with Twyman recently to Syria where they led a worldwide synchronized meditation for peace. Prayers were shared from the three traditions as well as content from a book by Unity's co-founder, Charles Fillmore, The Twelve Powers. This experience continues as a backdrop for conversation with 40 Unity ministers as they share wisdom on how Fillmore's work is applicable to what's happening in the world today. Unity in Naperville is excited to premiere this film in our area as the kickoff to our 10th anniversary celebration. We'll start the evening with a chili dinner at 6pm, followed by the film at 7pm. Tickets are $15 available at the Info Table or UnityInNaperville.org. Credit cards accepted with a .50 service charge. Please help us begin this special year by joining your spiritual community for some wonderful food and fellowship, followed by this important film celebrating Unity's timeless message for worldwide healing and evolution.

2008-08-11 - New tanker RFPPentagon issues new Draft Request for Proposals for tanker contract
USAF-Tankerwettbewerb neu gestartet<br /> The Defense Department has issued a draft request for proposals to the competitors in the Air Force's $35 billion program to acquire new aerial refueling tanker aircraft. The request went to Northrop-Grumman and Boeing, and addresses concerns the Government Accountability Office raised about the original award of the contract in February, said Shay Assad, the Defense Department's director of procurement and acquisitions policy.
Assad spoke during a Pentagon news conference. The GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, recommended that the Air Force re-bid the contract originally won by a Northrop-Grumman/EADS/Airbus consortium in February. Boeing protested the decision, and in June the GAO agreed that there were irregularities in the contracting process. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said DoD would address each of the GAO's findings
"We are doing that, and we are addressing them in a very measured and serious way to ensure that we, in fact, can execute this procurement in a manner that's fair to both parties and is in the best interests of the warfighters and the taxpayers," Assad said. DoD officials will take a week to discuss elements of the draft with Northrop-Grumman and Boeing. "Each offeror will be provided an equal amount of time to sit down and discuss face-to-face what their views are of the draft RFP," Assad said.
By the middle of August, Assad said, he expects DoD will issue the final request for proposals amendment. Both companies will have 45 days to submit their revisions to their proposals. This takes the process out to Oct. 1, Assad said. Through late November, DoD officials will have discussions both oral and written with the companies about their proposals. "We would then hope to close discussions around the end of November [or] early December, request a best and final offer -- or what we now term final proposal revisions -- in the first week in December, and complete our evaluations and award right around New Year's Eve," Assad said.

Memorial Day 2014
Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered. The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May, was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries.

FORGET I Spy and hand-held video games - they are passe.
Soon the kids will be able to stay amused playing with three-dimensional holograms controlled by motion sensors.
The technology, similar to Microsoft's Kinetic system, is being developed by the Games and Experimental Entertainment Laboratory (GEElab) at the RMIT University.
Three-dimensional images are projected into the back seat to entertain passengers, who control the action with gestures rather than buttons and hand-held controllers - and without the need for 3D glasses.
The system can teach young passengers about their surroundings as they drive along. For example, it can project an image of a train as the vehicle passes a railway station. It can also become a mobile tour guide or provide a virtual office-like environment, allowing passengers to use the technology as an interactive computer.
''This is not far-fetched. We're talking with Audi about this. They love it and think it's super interesting,'' said the director of the RMIT Laboratory, Steffen Walz. ''We're going to build this prototype very soon … it will use gestural interaction, a 3D holographic display and also, transparent windows as an interface. This is what we're doing next,'' said Dr Walz.
''We could just grab a car now and build the system into it, but we want to build it so that it fits nicely with the car, and Audi are very interested.''
Dr Walz presented the Audi-sponsored research at the brand's Urban Future Summit in Frankfurt this week, an annual conference that brings architects, designers and city planners together and encourages visionary thinking about sustainable cities and future urban mobility.
''I would say that in about five years' time, we will see this kind of stuff,'' Dr Walz said.

How this affects you is that with v2.4.x things are easy, you add the "--enable-mpms-shared=all" option and you're done. Each mpm is built as a module, administrator puts his preference in a config file, done. With v2.2.x, things are painful. The way RPM handled v2.2.x is that the build was executed three times, each providing a version of httpd with one of the MPMs selected, creating three separate binaries, /usr/sbin/httpd for prefork, /usr/sbin/httpd.worker for worker, and /usr/sbin/httpd.event for event. The modules only needed to be built once, so the second and third builds excluded all modules. Then there was a lot of scripted messing about to put everything in one tree - painful. Don't expect v2.4.x and v2.2.x to have the same script, it's very likely they won't have, although the scripts may be almost identical. It's up to you as to how much of v2.2.x you want to implement - you might choose to build three packages with one mpm each, or try build one package with three separate httpd binaries in it (like RPM did), or you might go "too much work for an old branch of httpd, focus efforts on v2.4.x instead", which is also fine.

The Capital Grille - Chicago - Lombard Ratings and Reviews
This was not my first time at The Capital Grille. This time it wasn't only the people I dined with that made it an amazing experience but it was the food, the service, and the additional things done to make the celebration memorable that set this visit far above the others. Special thanks to Amanda McKenna you're awesome.
Sue was our server and she was outstanding. Food was amazing and our to go bag even had a thank you note from the chef. The servers even gave you their business card with the check. Very attentive, addressed me by my name as the reservation was made on open table. Highly recommended.
We usually love the capital grille, however this was a terrible experience. Our waiter was very friendly and was doing his best but the steaks, which we ordered medium, were seared and raw in the middle. This was after waiting over an hour for the main course. The calamari app was delicious and the drinks were great. Vey expensive place to have such a poor result from the kitchen. The manager did come over and took care of our bill completely, which in my opinion is over and above. As soon as they get a new head Chef we'll revisit.
My wife and I dined here for my birthday dinner on a Friday night. I have been to a lot of nice steak houses, and Capital Grille has been on my list for some time. I was expecting it to be a good steakhouse, but it turned out to be an excellent steakhouse! The combination of the ambiance, exceptional service (thanks Seth!), and outstanding food result in this becoming my favorite steak house to date. I highly recommend Capital Grille to anyone who loves a good cut of meat paired with wines you won't find anywhere else.
I dined at Capital Grille several years ago and had a very pleasant meal. But in my most recent dining experience with them I have to upgrade my review to Outstanding. My dinner companion and I came away from the experience believing that this was the best meal that we had had in memory. The service by our waiter Davis was helpful, available, but never intrusive.
A job well done by all members of the staff in and out of the kitchen was a treat I look forward to enjoying again.
