Great magazine, but Audible's format is annoying
This is a review of the New Yorker in general. Some of the stories are fabulous covering important topics in broad erudite strokes. It is a marvelous education to read these pages. I would have rated this as a straight 5-star experience were it not for the curious and annoying change they have made to their format. See below.
My main reason in writing this review is that around March of 2015, the format for the New Yorker changed. Each issue had always has begun with a summary of the stories it contained, and then prior to each story, a title and a brief summary. This was helpful to save time in listening, since NYer titles are often witty, but cryptic to the point of being opaque until you know what the story is about and can appreciate the title's meaning.Since March there is no summary of any sort, no notion of how many stories. It is simply a group of disconnected articles each one beginning with the NYer's date (something I do not need to hear prior to each story) and the title of the story, and off they go. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 minutes of listening to know what the story is about or even to know if it is fiction or nonfiction.I have made numerous attempts to contact Audible or New Yorker to speak to the decision maker and have hit a concrete wall. Apparently no one has time to speak to a disgruntled customer.

The fraud has to be reported in a timely manner. Normally as soon as you report fraud on a credit card, you're issued an immediate refund while the lender investigates the matter. A new card with a new number should possibly have been issued also.
If you've exhausted all avenues with the lender, then it may be time to contact The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau offers a one-stop place for credit card holders to resolve complaints they may have with a credit card issuer. You can google it online or call via a toll-free number: 1-855-411-CFPB (2372).

Both the motto and the title synthesize the two basic components of the Order's spirituality: God-Trinity and redemptive charity. These two constituents—Trinity and redemption—are so embedded in the rule and tradition of the Order to clearly indicate that the essence of its spirituality consists in rendering glory to God-Trinity through a love which is directed toward those who are unjustly deprived of their freedom or damaged in their dignity as sons and daughters of God.
The members of the Order consecrate themselves in a special way to the Trinity and, in their ministry of charity and redemption, take Christ the Redeemer as their primary model.

The National Prisoner Reentry Initiative (PRI), of BJA is conducted in partnership with the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Labor. It is a comprehensive effort that has as its primary objective the enhancement of public safety through the reduction of recidivism and the amelioration of factors that place inmates at higher risk of recidivism after release. As described on the BJA web site, the initiative encompasses three phases:
Phase I Protect and Prepare: Institution based program. Designed to prepare offenders to reenter society; includes education, mental health, substance abuse, job training, mentoring etc.
Phase II Control and Restore: Community based transition programs. These programs work with offenders prior to and immediately after release from a correctional institute. Programs include, as appropriate, education, monitoring, mentoring, life skill training, job skill development, assessment etc.
Phase III Sustain and Support: Community based long term support programs. These programs connect individual who have left the supervision of the justice system with a network of social service agencies and community based organizations to provide ongoing services and mentoring relationships.
Service Delivery Strategies:
The project uses four main typologies of TA and training delivery to achieve the objectives of the continuation grant period:
1. on-site training and technical assistance delivery by individual consultants or consultant teams
2. off-site technical assistance and training delivery (via e-mail, telephone, internet, distance learning and other remote methods)
3. Peer-to-peer hosted site visits and mentoring between existing and developing programs
4. focus groups and national and regional multi-jurisdiction, multi-disciplinary training and networking activities
Technical assistance services are available to assist grantees to effectively achieve their program objectives through structured interaction with expert consultant-practitioners and with peers from successful, similarly focused programs from around the country. A wide range of technical assistance services are available, including:
Technical Assistance Request Process:
BJA grantees interested in requesting technical assistance should use the technical assistance request form, or contact Andrew Molloy, Senior Policy Advisor for Corrections at the Bureau of Justice Assistance (202/514-9909) email@example.com to discuss their technical assistance needs.

This section explains how to modify the build configuration of SOFA and attempts to document the available options.
Using CMake
CMake is a meta build system, that generates files for the build system used in your tool chain (e.g. Unix Makefiles, or a Visual Studio solution). Once you have created your build directory for SOFA, modifying build options goes like this:
- you modify options using cmake tools (either cmake-gui or ccmake, see below)
- CMake runs the project's configuration scripts with the current options (a.k.a. "Configure" in CMake tools)
- then CMake effectively generates the build system files (a.k.a. "Generate" in CMake tools)
Interactive configuration
CMake comes with both a GUI tool (cmake-gui) and a cursed based tool (ccmake) to modify the build options interactively. You can invoke them from the command line like so:
cmake-gui <build-directory>
ccmake <build-directory>
And on Windows, simply launch CMake GUI, and set the build directory field to the correct path if necessary. Using one of those tool, you can edit the options you want to change, and run "Configure" to run the configuration scripts. Note that the scripts are written to automatically enable any required dependencies when you change an option. If this happens, you will be warned at the end of the configuration step that you must run "Configure" again. Likewise, if any errors occurs during the configuration step, you have to run "Configure" again after you fix them. The general rule with the CMake configure part is that you have to hit "Configure" until no red-highlighted part is existing. Once you are satisfied with the options, and the configuration step succeeded without errors, run "Generate" to generate and write the build files to the build directory. You can then proceed to compile SOFA with your regular build tool. Tips:
- If some options were modified or added during the configuration step (by the scripts), they are highlighted in cmake-gui;
- The list of options is pretty long; it may be easier to find what you are looking for if you check the "Grouped" checkbox;
- Cmake stores the options in a cache (CMakeCache.txt) for the next time you run any cmake tool. If you want to start over from the default configuration, or choose a new generator, select File > Delete Cache.
Command-line configuration
When called directly, cmake does both the configuration and the generation steps. If you wish to modify the configuration from the command line (e.g. in a script), you can pass options to cmake with the -D flag. For example, if you know that the SOFA-PLUGIN_SOFAPYTHON option enables the compilation of the SofaPython plugin, you can enable it like so:
cmake -DSOFA-PLUGIN_SOFAPYTHON=ON <build-directory>
Configuration options
Good to know: CMake option fields can be either a boolean, a file path, a directory path or a basic string. Most configuration options of SOFA are prefixed by "SOFA". More precisely, they follow the pattern "SOFA- <category>" where category is usually APPLICATION, CUDA, EXTERNAL, LIB, LIB_COMPONENT, MISC, PLUGIN or TUTORIAL. The options of type LIB, LIB_COMPONENT, APPLICATION, PLUGIN, and TUTORIAL type correspond to the different parts of SOFA, that can be compiled or not. More options are documented further down this page.
- The SOFA-LIB_* options correspond to the directories in framework/sofa/
- The SOFA-LIB_COMPONENT_* options correspond to the directories in modules/
- The SOFA-PLUGIN_* options correspond to the directories in applications/plugins/
- The SOFA-APPLICATION_* options correspond to the directories in applications/projects/
- The SOFA-TUTORIAL_* options correspond to the directories in applications/tutorials/
For example, the SofaPython plugin (applications/plugins/SofaPython) is enabled by the option SOFA-PLUGIN_SOFAPYTHON, and the Modeler (applications/projects/Modeler) is enabled by the option SOFA-APPLICATION_MODELER.
Standard CMake options
The typical values for that field are Release and Debug (even if there are other options like ReleaseDebInfo, there are not really used by SOFA internal developers and thus, not really tested). Like the value is indicating, Release value indicates to compile in Release mode, with optimizations for speed, size of binaries… Debug value makes it compile with the debugging symbol activated and no code optimization.
When a user wants to activate a new functionality, it can be enabled by selecting the respective option and setting the path for that external library (if it is not already included in the external/ directory of SOFA). Example with CGoGN library. We want to the experimental topology system based on CGoGN. Thus we check in cmake-gui the field SOFA-EXTERNAL_CGOGN (setting the boolean on true). We can see that, by default, the SOFA-EXTERNAL_CGOGN_PATH is pointing to the already shipped CGoGN directory in SOFA. You have the ability to choose your own CGoGN installation if desired.
This option activates unit tests for SOFA. For much more informations, please go to the Tests page.
- SOFA-MISC_USE_DOUBLE and SOFA-MISC_USE_FLOAT
Those options determine two different things:
- Firstly, they determine the type used almost everywhere in SOFA when a floating point type is explicitly needed, the SReal type:
- SReal is defined to be float if SOFA-MISC_USE_FLOAT is enabled, and double otherwise.
- Secondly, they determine which "versions" of each templated component will be compiled:
- If SOFA-MISC_USE_FLOAT is enabled, templated components will be compiled only with parameters based on the float type
- If SOFA-MISC_USE_DOUBLE is enabled, templated components will be compiled only with parameters based on the double type
- If both are disabled (default), all the possible instantiations of templated components will be compiled.
- Finally, you must not enable both options at the same time.
Ultimately, enabling, say, SOFA-MISC_USE_DOUBLE will significantly reduce compilation time, but then you will only be able to simulate scenes that contain exclusively components using template parameters based on double (Vec3d, Rigid3d, …). More technically, if SOFA-MISC_USE_DOUBLE is enabled, then the macro SOFA_DOUBLE will be defined, and similarly, SOFA-MISC_USE_FLOAT will cause SOFA_FLOAT to be defined. The SOFA_DOUBLE and SOFA_FLOAT macros are used in the code to control the explicit instantiations of class templates that define SOFA components.
Enable this option to create targets for source code documentation generation with doxygen. (Obviously, this requires doxygen to be installed.) This will create a doc-Foo target for each project Foo that is enabled (a plugin, a module, an application…), as well as a doc target to build all the documentation targets at once. With this option enabled :
- build the doc target to generate all the documentation. You can then open the main page doc/SOFA/index.html, that links to all the documentations.
- build the doc-Foo target to generate only the documentation for the project Foo. This will run doxygen on the source directory of the project, after generating the documentation of the other projects Foo depends on. The documentation of Foo will be in doc/Foo/ (main page: doc/Foo/index.html).
- build the doc-Foo/fast target to re-generate only the documentation of Foo, without generating again the documentation for its dependencies.
Note for Windows: due to the current organisation of files in modules/, the cmake scripts use questionable workarounds to make the corresponding documentation targets, which don't work under Windows. So modules/ won't be documented when building the doc under Windows.
Enable this option in order to add a page to the doxygen documentation that lists all the components available in modules (like this page), and links to their individual documentation page. This particular page is generated using SOFA. Thus, if you enable this option, you will have to compile SOFA in order to generate the documentation.
Make the CMake scripts output much more information during the configuration step.
This option activates part of code flagged as "still in development" code aka beta version. This code is very unstable and thus no support can be provided.
Enabling this option allows to get more debugging informations at each step of the simulations. For a more complete description and how to use these informations, please go to the Profiling part.
This option (true by default) enables the use "extern template" in the code of SOFA. It will be always be activated for DLLs on windows. On some platforms, it can fix RTTI issues (typeid / dynamic_cast), and it significantly speeds up compilation and linking on every platform. More information here: Shared Libraries Mechanism.
This option will remove any OpenGL-related code from SOFA. This is especially useful for people who wants to use SOFA as a library with a different rendering system (typically DirectX with Windows)
This optimization flag desactives the computation of the bounding box at every timestep of the simulation.
- SOFA-MISC_OPENMP (advanced)
This flag will allow to use OpenMP for specific computations in existing code. A few components are multithreaded with openmp pragmas. Sometimes hyperthreading gives strange results (slowing down the simulation). To get rid of hyperthreaded cores you have to tell openmp to run the application only on physical cores. When compiled with gcc, the environment variable GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY allows the core selection, where you can select physical cores only. (eg in bash: export GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY="0-15"). The core indices can be obtained with the "lstopo" command (sudo apt-get install hwloc) Do not forget to limit the max number of cores with the OMP_NUM_THREADS environment variable (export OMP_NUM_THREADS="16")
- SOFA-MISC_SMP (advanced)
This setting enables new components with support for SMP (Symmetric Multi Processing), in order to have parallel computations (parallel collision pipeline, …)

My daughter and son's were members of LQ's Performing Arts from opening in 2004 through 2010. They took hiphop, breakdancing, acting, vocal and ballet. It gave them confidence to push to succeed, it showed them to be organized and scheduled. We have so many wonderful memories and friends that were made. It made them feel a part of something extraordinary and we all have been and still are very proud to say we are from LQ's Performing Arts Center.
My daughters been in LQ'S for approx. 2 years now she really enjoys it alot.. She has performed and would like to perform more often.. We need more sponors and need ur support to come out and see what LQ's is all about!! Need more support from our community.....
LQs performing Arts studio is definatly the best place I have ever been to in a dance school setting. This place is guenuine and very precise. The instructor are awesome and they push you to your ability as well as give you the opportunity to advance your career through various events and showcases.
I've been involved with this performing arts center for many, many years. The environment there is very friendly and welcoming. Anyone is welcome to come. This performing arts center became an outlet for the youth of Bakersfield's community to do something positive and have fun. LQ's is like an extended family. LOVE LOVE LOVE....always
I've been dancing with LQ's Performing Arts Center on and off for the past eight years. Not only has it been a safe place to go to let loose and dance, it's become my second family. The people involved are so nice and easygoing, I always walk out with a smile on my face. LQ's kept me out of trouble when I was younger and helped me focus on things I want in life. It really is a great organization.
I put my daughter In LQs, it was one of the best things i did for my daughter. LQs, made a difference in her life. LQs wasnt about taking a class, it was family. It gave my daughter confidence, selfworth, and making goals for herself. She was given new experiences about life and i thank Ms. Milner for that.
Lq's is a wonderful organization that provides a positive outlet for people of all ages to express themselves through the world of dance. Everyone is treated like family. I've been connected to the organization for years and love being able to watch these kids who came in with little to no experience grow on stage. They are very talented individuals whose confidence has been built to do what they do best and what's in their hearts and that is dance. I guess the best I can say is, these individuals are serious about dance and leave their hearts on that dance floor every time while being respectful.
Review from Guidestar
I loved being a part of LQ's Performing Arts Center. Everone there is friendly, positive, and supportive. When I'm there I feel comfortable and important. Dancing there has done wonders for my confidence and performing abilities. Being a part of LQ's has been a positive and awesome experience for me.
LQ's Performing Arts Center means so much to me. They've helped me out in ways I can not fully describe. Many times I was going through things and the only thing that seemed to keep me in good spirits during the week was the fact that I had to attend class at LQ's. I miss going there.

Bringing a laptop to a conference is a pretty good idea. Not only it helps summarize notes – I type much faster than I write – but you can also email these notes, share them, post them online, etc.
These days it seems every conference – even small ones – have a Twitter Hash tag (and why not? It doesn't cost anything). What this means is that people can send messages with this tag, and everyone who "listens" to this tag will get it. It's a bit like group chat. This is one of the things that differentiates Twitter and Facebook (as I mentioned in my one of the first posts in this blog: Explaining Twitter to Facebook Users).
This has several effects I didn't fully grasp until Affiliate Summit East 2009. Motivational, educational, you name it.
For starters, days before a conference starts, people already start tweeting using the hash tag (i.e. in Affiliate Summit West 2010 it was #asw10). So even if you're at home, you're already starting to feel the 'vibe' of the conference, get the excitement. People announce they've left their homes, that they're at the hotel, that they're checking in, that they're meeting other participants. Some people even upload photos. And since it is all in real time, you get pulled into it. You feel you're a part of the conference before it even started.
Furthermore, during sessions people constantly tweet about what they listen to. This proves to be extremely useful from several reasons:
So my second point: you know who is present. During one session I discovered that two of my Twitter friends (whom I never met in person until then!) were in the room with me. We tweeted each. One even uploaded an image of the speaker (in real time, of course), so I could even tell where he was sitting in the room. Later I went to meet him.
Third, people constantly tweet the highlights of a session, the important points. There was one moment where I missed what the speaker said, but knew it was important. I looked at the stream, and multiple people tweeted that point. I just copied this directly into my notes. Moreover, thanks to the Twitter 140 characters limit, the point has to be concise, and this greatly facilitates the transmission of ideas in this context.
Fourth, you get to "hear" what's going on in other sessions as well. So in a sense it allows you to attend multiple sessions at once. I actually took some of the tweets from other sessions as notes, as they were very relevant and interesting.
Fifth, one session allowed people to ask questions through Twitter and had its own hash tag. This certainly improves interaction between audience and speaker. Another session I attended had a contest where people suggested ideas and at the end, there was a reward for the best one.
Sixth, I tweeted quite a lot of the good highlights from sessions I attended. Some were actually retweeted by people who were NOT at the conference. So this helped spread useful information beyond the conference. In my opinion, this can be said to make Twitter itself a more valuable site. I remember that during Blog World (a conference that took place several months ago and I didn't attend) there were occasional retweets of highlights from their sessions – some I found fascinating. And I wasn't even there!
Finally, sites and conferences now take this into consideration. For example, the conference I speak at next month, Social Media 201, constantly "listens" and places on its website tweets that use the #sm201 hashtag. Or another example: ad:tech NY had a huge screen which featured select tweets that use the #adtechny hash tag (see the above image).
I think what we've seen here is a glimpse into the future of education. Where future students will get more and more opportunities to interact with the speakers and each other in real time, as well as potentially virtually "attend" sessions they are not present in. So not only the conference hash tag is great for passing information and 'bonding' everyone, but it also contributes a great deal to the effectiveness of taught sessions. I find this fascinating.

If you are searching to rent out a vacation home but do not understand where to start, don't be afraid. Locating vacation villa or the perfect beach house isn't difficult, but there are ways to set yourself and ensure you get the Orlando Beach Rentals you desire without breaking your budget. Just like most endeavours, planning ahead and being coordinated are the keys. During the process you have to follow some steps that you should take to secure the home you want at an excellent cost.Start Your Search Early
Avoid some of the anxiety and excessive prices that can leave with striving to ensure a vacation home, particularly during when it is on the highest demand and on short notice, by believing, researching and preparation at least six months in advance. At that point you just have to consider that the vacation rentals should have - at least, the ones that are good - generally book up quickly.
Things you should know when Owning Vacation Home Rentals in Orlando
We frequently see in many examples that the vacation homeowners are faced with a huge downfall if they have not the booking or their property had a major repair issues. So it's essential for everyone to look at all the monthly invoices related to the property before buying a vacation home and be comfortable enough with the entire amount which you could pay on these invoices if the vacation home didn't bring in any money.
Before you buy a vacation home the second thing you must research is really to figure out how many nights the property should be taken and the typical nightly rate guests will willingly pay for the same property. Once you have these two figures, you can readily find out how much income the property will bring in yearly. You should have a confident cash flow, when you compare the income to the monthly expenses. If not, you are able to think about purchasing the property.
Consult Multiple Sources
It is essential to consult with a number of references when vacation-house hunting. By speaking to numerous individuals and shopping around, you'll not only learn more about the region you're visiting, it's possible that you will get a better deal also. While these alternatives can be a lot of work, locating Beach Rentals in this way may not be more expensive because there is no any third party involved in it and you don't have to pay extra fee to any agent. Although the owner is responsible for paying the fee, this cost will generally be factored into the rental price of the homes.

Psoriasis and Sleep
Expert Answers to Psoriasis Treatment FAQs
Most of us have experienced sleep deprivation at one point or another. Not only does it make it hard to get through the day, it can increase our stress levels and affect our mental health. To avoid this, the National Sleep Foundation recommends all adults get at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night.
If you are somebody who suffers from psoriasis, sleep may have an even bigger impact on your quality of life. More and more, studies are suggesting sleep may be linked to symptoms of psoriasis. With over 50 percent of all psoriasis patients reporting sleep disturbances, here are some important things for you to know.

What's Happening Inside Your Body
Psoriasis is believed to be an autoimmune disease. Instead of the immune system working solely to protect your body against things like viruses and bacteria, it also attacks its own tissues. Your body releases chemicals that cause inflammation within the skin.
Additionally, when you don't get enough sleep, your body undergoes stress and a similar inflammatory response occurs. This has also been shown to occur in other psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety.
This has led scientists to believe that there is some kind of cyclical relationship between your mental state and psoriasis flares.

While it's still unknown whether psoriasis triggers sleep difficulties or whether lack of sleep causes psoriasis to worsen, there are symptoms you should watch for and report to your doctor. Make sure to pay attention to changes in your mental health as well.
Worsening itch
Increase in pain
Higher frequency of flares
Joint pain
Hard time falling asleep
Difficulty staying asleep
Feeling very tired during the day
Increase in snoring
Feeling of gasping or choking while sleeping
Experience of restless legs
Mental health-related:
Feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness
Lack of interest in normal activities
Feeling increasingly overwhelmed, on edge
Difficulty concentrating, feeling restless
Difficulty engaging in social interactions
Putting it All Together
As doctors are increasingly treating both the psychological and physical symptoms that often occur with psoriasis, it's important you are open with your doctor about how you are feeling. This way, he or she has the information needed to treat the whole picture, which will likely lead to a more successful outcome.
There are things you can do to help yourself too. Follow these suggestions to get a better night's sleep and reduce stress, and hopefully improve your psoriasis symptoms in the process:
Try to set a pattern of going to bed and waking up at the same time.
Keep your room cool, dark, and quiet.
Avoid stimulants like caffeine in the afternoon and evening.
Limit electronics, whether TV, computer, or phone, before bed.
Develop a relaxing bedtime routine, like taking a warm bath or practicing meditation.
Exercise every day and make healthy food choices.
Provide yourself an outlet for your stress, such as journaling, talking with a friend, or seeing a counselor.
The mind-body connection is a powerful one, and its impact on diseases like psoriasis is evident. While there is still no cure for psoriasis, as our understanding of it continues to grow, the more accurately we can address its triggers and its treatment.

The Convention on the Rights of the Child in the UK
When governments came together 26 years ago to agree the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, they set out a vision for how the world should treat and consider children.
Together they defined a set of international standards that would ensure all children, everywhere, without discrimination, are treated with equality, respect and dignity, are protected from harm, and have access to what they need to survive, develop, participate and flourish.
The UK ratified the Convention in 1991. By doing this, the government committed itself to taking steps (including legal, administrative and budgetary steps) that would ensure all children in the UK enjoy their human rights, irrespective of gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, language, place of residence and any other status. Like all governments that have ratified the Convention, the UK also reports regularly on its child rights record to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. The Committee is a body of experts that monitors and supports the implementation of the Convention across the world.
To date in the UK, despite noticeable progress in making rights a reality for children, there remains a gap between the vision of childhood outlined in the Convention and the experiences and reality of many children and young people. And too many children in the UK are not aware what their rights are and who is responsible for upholding them. Similarly, children's rights are not widely known or understood among adults, including professionals who work with children & young people.
While central governments have the lead responsibility for the realisation of children's rights, all adults have a responsibility to respect these rights and help children experience their rights. At the local level, local authorities (ie local government) have a duty under the Convention to respect, protect and fulfil the rights of all children in their area. Through our Child Rights Partners programme, we support local authorities and their partners to know, understand and apply children's rights in the planning, design and delivery of services. We believe this will transform how children and young people experience public services. Ultimately, we want to ensure all children and young people are listened to, protected, nurtured, and treated with dignity and fairness.

Update, apparently engadget has pulled the article when I was searching for a link. So use your imagination lol it was a white battery cover, with everything else the same. Kinda like the evo thing, half white, half black.

Bay leaves are distinguished by their dark green coloring, ovate and pointed shape, wavy margins and glossy finish (due to the volatile oil, cineole). The leaves range in lengths from 4 to 10 cm. Fresh Bay leaves are often more potent than dried leaves, emitting a pungent and sharp taste, especially if eaten whole.
Availability date:
Dried Bay leaves will lose that pungency, yet because the leaves become brittle and sharp, they are not suited for eating. Dried Bay leaves become matte finished and olive in coloring._¢
Current Facts
Bay leaves are the foliage of the shrub-like tree, Bay Laurel, botanical name Laurus nobilis, which belongs to the avocado family, Lauraceae. It is important to note that there are three other plants that are referred to and substituted for the Laurel Bay leaf, the Indian, Indonesian and California 'Bay' leaf trees. Only the California Bay tree is of the same family as the Laurel. Though similar in appearance, they do not carry the same flavor profiles or culinary attributes._¢
Bay leaves are one of the quintessential ingredients in a cook's arsenal as they have become a backbone of cuisines from all over the world. This is because no other ingredient can replicate the bay leaf's culinary virtues. Bay leaves contain the volatile compound, estragole, which provokes a soothing element to balance heat and spice while also adding depth by enhancing the perception of acidity and savory components of a dish. Bay leaves are a fixture in classic stocks, sauces, soups and stews. They become a trifecta ingredient alongside garlic and olive oil when preparing slow cooked legumes and meats as well as pan-fried seafood such as shrimp and white fish. Crushed Bay leaves impart more flavor than whole, yet they should applied within a tea infuser or cheese cloth.

Juventus and Barcelona are waiting in the wings to prise Javier Mascherano away from Liverpool.
Mascherano, who joined Liverpool on a long-term loan, said: "I was talking with the club and it was all agreed that I would stay here, but in the last week a situation has developed at Liverpool.
"Now I have to wait until the club are ready to talk to me again and maybe in the next one or two weeks we will have some news.
"They just need to talk. Rafa doesn't want to leave the club because he's very happy here and the supporters love him.
"It means I need to wait, but it's possible in the next month they will have a meeting and it will all be resolved.
"I want to play for Liverpool and I want to stay here."

It has been a season of frustration for Hull FC's Kirk Yeaman but one he knows could still yet end covered in so much glory.
Along with Richard Horne and Richard Whiting, the England centre is the only survivor in the current Airlie Birds squad from the one that last reached a Grand Final six years ago.
That was the club's maiden trip to Old Trafford for Super League's showpiece event.
Ultimately, they lost out to St Helens but, given it came so soon after their 2005 Challenge Cup final triumph, many thought it would mark the start of a sustained period for Hull of dining at the elite's top table.
Unfortunately, they have not reached a final since, something which deeply pains the East Riding club which has such an illustrious history in the game.
Tonight, though, they have the chance to move to within 80 minutes of Old Trafford once more.
Warrington Wolves are the opponents in a preliminary semi-final which hands the victors a place in the last four.
For Yeaman, who has been blighted by injury on three separate occasions this term, it is an opportunity to finally deliver.
"It has been a frustrating year for me," he told the Yorkshire Post, the 2011 Super League Dream Team centre being restricted to just 17 games this time around.
"It just hasn't got going. I've played a few weeks then missed a few when normally I'm pretty all right with stuff like that.
"But I'm fit now, have played the last two and am hoping for a big bang at the end.
"We don't see why we can't go to Warrington and win.
"We're not getting ahead of ourselves and know they've only lost one game at home this year so we know how tough it's going to be.
"But we're full of confidence especially after the last three weeks."
That period has seen Hull deliver their best-ever Super League win – 70-6 against Bradford Bulls – before beating Castleford Tigers 30-10 and, then, producing a suitably emphatic 46-10 elimination play-off defeat of Huddersfield.
It is the first time since early April they have put together such a run and belief is rightly high.
Peter Gentle is the fifth coach Yeaman – who is about to embark on his testimonial year – has played under since making his Hull debut in 2002.
The Australian has certainly made an impact in his first season and the 29-year-old said: "He's brought a lot of fresh ideas and made changes.
"It's always hard when a new coach comes in, getting used to things, but Pete wants us to play a certain way. The last couple of weeks has shown how Pete wants us to do that and if we can carry that on it's going to be good here.
"We'll take Warrington as just another game. Obviously there's a lot at stake but we won't approach it any different to how we did Huddersfield.
"It was a good win on Sunday but there's still areas we're not happy with. Our defence was pretty spot-on for the first 65 minutes but in the last 15 they scored twice.
"We know Warrington will be favourites but we're not too bothered what other people think.
"We know what we're capable of and we're quietly confident we can go there, get the result and progress."
It seems an eternity ago now when Hull drew 20-20 with the Cheshire club at KC Stadium on the opening day of this season.
Yeaman scored the first of the 11 tries he's notched this year and they really should have won, fortunate Warrington forcing the draw right at the death.
"I remember it being absolutely freezing and it started to snow," he recalled.
"It was a good performance that day and our goalline defence was outstanding especially.
"It was disappointing to only get a draw while a couple of months back they did a number on us (40-18) at their place.
"That's gone now though and in the past.
"People are talking about how many tries and points we're scoring but that's on the back of how good our defence has been.
"We're scrambling and working hard for each other and if want to progress we have to do that again at Warrington."
Yeaman played in all of England's Four Nations campaign last autumn, including the final against Australia, but is currently out of the elite training squad due to his rotten luck with injuries.
If he can help fire Hull to Old Trafford, it might not only help get his club fulfilling their potential at last but also force him back into the reckoning ahead of a World Cup year.

The first book of Samuel otherwise called, the first book of the Kings, chapter 27, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Et ait David in corde suo: "Aliquando incidam in uno die in manu Saul; nonne melius est ut fugiam et salver in terra Philisthinorum, ut desperet Saul cessetque me quaerere in cunctis finibus Israel? Fugiam ergo manus eius".
2 Et surrexit David et abiit ipse et sescenti viri cum eo ad Achis filium Maoch regem Geth.
3 Et habitavit David cum Achis in Geth ipse et viri eius unusquisque cum domo sua; David et duae uxores eius, Achinoam Iezrahelites et Abigail uxor Nabal de Carmel.
4 Et nuntiatum est Saul quod fugisset David in Geth, et non addidit ultra ut quaereret eum.
5 Dixit autem David ad Achis: "Si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis, detur mihi locus in una urbium regionis huius, ut habitem ibi. Cur enim manet servus tuus in civitate regis tecum?".
6 Dedit itaque ei Achis in die illa Siceleg; propter quam causam facta est Siceleg regum Iudae usque in diem hanc.
7 Fuit autem numerus dierum, quibus habitavit David in regione Philisthinorum, annus et quattuor menses.
8 Et ascendit David et viri eius et agebant praedas de Gesuri et de Gerzi et de Amalecitis; hae enim gentes habitabant terram, quae est a Telem in via Sur et usque ad terram Aegypti.
9 Et percutiebat David omnem terram nec relinquebat viventem virum et mulierem; tollensque oves et boves et asinos et camelos et vestes revertebatur et veniebat ad Achis.
10 Dicebat autem ei Achis: "In quem irruistis hodie?". Respondebatque David: "Contra Nageb Iudae vel contra Nageb Ierameel vel contra Nageb Ceni".
11 Viro et mulieri non parcebat David nec adducebat in Geth dicens: "Ne forte loquantur adversum nos: "Haec fecit David" ". Et hoc erat decretum illi omnibus diebus, quibus habitavit in regione Philisthinorum.
12 Credidit ergo Achis David dicens: "Valde odiosum se fecit populo suo Israel; erit igitur mihi servus sempiternus".
King James Version
1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
5 ¶ And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8 ¶ And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.
12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.

We have been very fortunate in that we have been able to make numerous "trips of a lifetime" to Europe. The UK, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Poland and even Turkey. Trip costs seem to be on the rise however. The discount airfares are getting to tougher to find and even though the dollar has strengthened against the Euro prices still seem extremely high.
Does anyone have suggestions for locations that are less expensive to visit?
Perhaps I need to readjust my sights or expectations. Our most recent trip was to Poland and while it was enjoyable, and mrs. turnip loved the prices on shopping excursions, we were to a certain degree somewhat disappointed. The food was probably the poorest of any place we've been outside of London. Sorry, but we found the national dish, pierogis, to be bland in taste, color and texture. The sights were fun but didn't seem to have the "wow" factor of the other locations we've visited. Even the Poles asked us, "Why are you visiting Poland?"
If we forego the "must-see" sights of the world in order to get off the beaten track and find better prices do I need to settle for less "wow"?
We loved seeing the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum/Flavian amphitheater, Neuschwanstien, the canals of Venice, the Hagia Sophia and the touristy spots, but we also have greatly enjoyed small towns like Harleem, touring the Czech wine regions, Cesky Krumlov, the walls of Lucca, hiking in Zakopane, staring at the stars in the Berner Oberland. We don't want a beach or somewhere to just lay in the sun. We love good museums and galleries - I could spend a week in the Musee d'Orsay alone. Flea markets and funky second hand stores are always fun for us. The history in Rome and Turkey was mesmerizing.
To us, budget travel is small, clean and safe B&B's or apartment rental. Certainly less than $100 a night . We splurge one time a trip for a fancy dinner but often picnic lunch and fix some of our food if the apartment is so equipped. We usually travel in the shoulder season to maximize weather but avoid the crowds and high season rates.
We've been kicking around Croatia, but it doens't seem like it's "cheap". Numerous Central/Eastern European countries have been mentioned but none have leapt off of the page screaming "visit me". Portugal has been mentioned. We have never been to Asia other than Turkey. Some travelers have suggested numerous spots in Asia as a budget destination but the mrs. will take some convincing I think.
So I'm guess I'm throwing it out there to the experienced and knowledgable Fodorite world travelers. Save up and shut up? If I want to see the big name sights - prepare to pay the price? Suggestions on places you loved that also didn't break the piggy bank? Do I break out of our comfort zone and venture further afield?
Thanks in advance for your candor and ideas.
Cordially, the turnip

Europe on a budget? Destination suggestions welcome.
We have been very fortunate in that we have been able to make numerous "trips of a lifetime" to Europe. The UK, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Poland and even Turkey. Trip costs seem to be on the rise however. The discount airfares are getting to tougher to find and even though the dollar has strengthened against the Euro prices still seem extremely high.

How about North Africa...as in Morocco? Francophone country, really good food, varied scenery, good museums...and cheap. If you enjoyed Turkey, you've already got the ability to deal with that sort of "exotic vibe."
Report Abuse
I think it's partly about what you do when you are there, as much as the specific destination. It doesn't cost anything to walk around Paris and 'see' the Eiffle Tower.
I also believe the decision should be about what interests YOU. No just what appears cheap. Do you WANT to go to Portugal, Croatia, Asian, Africa????
Report Abuse
I think most countries can offer you "cheap," particularly when you don't splash our for fancy hotels and dinners. The issue this year is airfare. I am not seeing any deals so far, so looking at $2000 just for airfare is certainly putting a damper on my plans.
I noticed you did not mention Spain, a country I have enjoyed immensely and one I think can easily give you a fantastic return on every dollar (airfares are often quite good to boot).
I've been considering Portugal as well, but just don't feel the draw and I fear the food will be dismal.
While I agree Croatia is not cheap like many think it will be, if you can get a decent airfare, the value you get when renting apartments is well worth the effort. To me it is more of a nature destination, and that of course has its savings as well--hiking along a nearly deserted coast is free!
Report Abuse
I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy Poland very much. I was there last fall (same time as you, I believe) and had a wonderful time. I loved Krakow (my second visit) and found tons of things to do there. I think you were going to Zakopane which was a complete disappointment to me. I also went to Warsaw, Poznan, and Wroclaw. Warsaw was my second least favorite but I really enjoyed Poznan and Wroclaw.
The perogies were bland unless you had those with meat. I loved the pork dishes and that's what I ate almost every day (just as I did in the Czech Republic). I thought the food was good and very inexpensive.
Based on your likes above, I would warn you off Croatia and Portugal. There is little sightseeing in Croatia as the "cities" are very small. Dietitian's Palace was a wow but I think that had to do with the guide we had. I did love Dubrovnik but it's quite a way from Split and again, quite small. One or two days is the maximum amount of time you'd need there. The rest is countryside but not the prettiest I've seen; nothing to compare with Austria or Italy.
Again, in Portugal, very little sightseeing in many towns. Lisbon left me underwhelmed. Sintra was my favorite since there was quite a bit to see and different things than I'm used to - Pena Palace and National Palace. I did a tour of central Portugal and found the countryside very dry until I got near the Spanish border in the east. I understand the northern part is more lush but I didn't get there. Porto is supposedly a good town to visit and one I hope to see but I don't think there is tons to do there either.
Since you hike you might want to walk part of the Camino de Santiago - a different type of vacation but one that would be inexpensive. I suggested to another poster to walk from Porto to Santiago. You could see Lisbon, Sintra, take a train to Porto and do your walk.
I'm in the same dilemma you are - looking for wow and reasonably priced European vacations. Fortunately for me I loved Poland and the Czech Republic and they are certainly cheap.
I don't see Spain or Greece on your list. I haven't been to either yet but I understand the prices are less than those in France and Italy.
This year I don't get a vacation but next on my list is Cuba (hopefully next January) while it's still possible to go there legally.
Good luck with your search. Post back on what you find that the rest of us might enjoy.

The Portuguese food was wonderful and very inexpensive! The only thing I didn't like was some soup that went by different names. It contained coriander and was very greasy.

Thanks for the info, adrienne! I eat fish but not meat, so that is a complicating factor. I hope you were able to visit the Croatian islands while you were there.
Report Abuse
yorkshire - There are tons of fish dishes in Portugal - every restaurant has fish. The only fish I had when I was there was bacalau.
I only saw one Croatian island as I was on an escorted tour which was focused mostly on the towns. I had been told that the views are more spectacular from the water than from inland but I didn't get much of a water view.

turnip...may I remind you that everyone traveling for pleasure is "on a budget"..believe me. Some may be stratospheric, others may be more moderate, and yet others would be "cheese and crackers for dinner". At least you've given some guidelines for lodging costs.
Maroc, as StCirq suggested, would be an exciting destination. It's exotic, dramatically scenic, colorful, and would at least fit your lodging budget if you do the necessary research. The same can be said for Portugal. Have you considered Ireland? Again, you can find under $100 lodgings at all of the above, but like anything else it takes some work. I'm sure you have done plenty of it for the other trips you've taken.
South America could fit well also. Chile, Argentina, Peru, Brazil and Ecuador, especially. We have found that any of those SA countries would be doable for your lodging reqts.
These days, the biggest part of your budget would have to be airfare unless you are fat with ff miles. Good luck...let the forum know when you've narrowed down your destinations ...help would be on the way at that time.
Report Abuse
time of year is crucial to low budget - like in winter - air fares hundreds of bucks lower and accommodations not only often cheaper but obviously more available. I always pay about 30-35 euros for a B & B with unlimited breakfast in both Florence and Rome in winter - in summer those places would cost about three times as much.
So off-season can even make a place like Italy cheap. And how you go about say your food - I eat largely out of supermarkets or street food, etc. In Italy in winter I spend about $60 a day total - things like cafes can cost a ton so if you have several coffees a day at a nice cafe that could run $4-5 a pop - so there are variables besides which places are cheaper.
Report Abuse
This means you have to avoid cities like Oslo, London, Venice??? Not IMO...a lot depends on where you stay in terms of costs. I agree that off-season is cheaper but there are just some places that aren't worth going to when they are loaded with snow or sleet or that other nasty stuff.
And, here's another thought...how much are you willing to give up when you are at home to ensure the ability to travel when and where you wish? After all, it isn't all about the costs and your spending "over there."
Report Abuse
I definitely agree with the suggestions for traveling off-season and researching the airfare (which is normally the single largest expense of any trip).
Do you mind telling us your home airport? That would make a difference if South America, Africa, Asia, Indonesia, etc. might be good ideas, or not.
Report Abuse
Using B&Bs can lessen the costs greatly as well. In London I stay in a B&B a 20-minute train commute from the center and pay 25 pounds ($40), unlimited breakfast included - commuting costs about 4 pounds a day so for 30 pounds you can have a safe, clean place to stay and leave with your stomach so loaded you need not eat for hours.
Report Abuse
We have also been to most of the countries you listed - on a budget. Besides staying in apartments and B&B's, eating as reasonablly as possible, traveling in shoulder season, spending most of our time in small villages, etc., I think our biggest budget tip is using miles for flights. We started charging on a miles/points card a number of years ago. We charge every dime we can and pay it off monthly. This allows us to book trips using our miles and makes our trips much more reasonable.
Our next trip to Europe is in September/October to France. We have been to France numerous times and find it to be the best fit for us. We love Paris and usually spend a few days at the beginning or end of our trip in Paris, and then spend the majority of our time in the villages, i.e., Normandy, Brittany, Loire, Dordogne, Burgundy, Alsace, or Provence to name a few areas.
If there is a country that you particularly enjoyed, why not return and explore some more. We usually find much more to see even in areas we've been to several times. We enjoy slowing down and just being in another place/culture as much as seeing the "big" sights. Whatever you decide to do, hope you have a great trip!

How about Romania? While we did it by car, we came across an American woman traveling solo who was using public transportation and local guides. I wrote a trip report, but prices have undoubtedly changed; click on my name to find it.

Two of the places mentioned - Croatia and Portugal - I did find them to be very economical. We easily stayed in very nice double accommodation for under $100 (not 100€, 100$) and found the food, especially in Portugal to be very economical. But I can travel pretty cheaply to most places in Europe if you are OK with 2 star places or small B&B or guest houses which it sounds like you are. I have only found a few places that were difficult to be a budget traveler in - Scandinavia and the UK and rural England is not that bad and even in London, you can, it just takes more effort.
I've never tried to pick a location just because I thought it would be cheaper. I decide where I want to go and then see what it looks like it's going to cost - obviously you can see hotel and transportation prices on line before you start booking anything. Food you can almost always do as cheap as you want - or as expensive. Other than avoiding the most expensive destinations I would just pick where you want to go and then post questions here for tips on how to do those specific places as economically as possible.

I second the recommendation of going to Spain. We were there in October 2010 & found the prices to be reasonable. We didn't spend a fortune on food & yet we had delicious meals every day. You could visit one of the major cities, then travel through the countryside to visit smaller towns/villages. Traveling during the shoulder season helps, too. We spent 5 days in Barcelona, then rented a car for a 3 night/4 day roadtrip along the Costa Brava & into the Pyrenees.
My niece lived & worked in Extremadura, Spain, for 2 years & loved it. Very reasonable. She described it as old world Spain. I saw her photos & would love to go there. You could combine that area of Spain with a trip to Portugal. I haven't been to Portugal yet, but my daughter spent only an overnight in Lisbon (en route home from Barcelona) & had a day to wander around & she really liked Lisbon. I have a cousin who was there for a week & they loved it.
Hope this helps.
Don't know where you live, but what about Costa Rica? It was reasonable when we went, but not sure about now. Food & lodging was very reasonable.
Report Abuse
Wow. Some awesome suggestions. I apologize if I gave the impression that cost was the overriding factor for our trips.
We are totally on board with the B&B plan as well as using FF miles. Triple miles with Capitol One and we pay the darn balance off every month.
Our normal airport is MSP (Minneapolis/St.Paul). Our last trip however we drove the 8 hours to Chicago and flew direct to Warsaw via LOT airlines. (My son said they call it LOT airlines because it left a-LOT to be desired. Gotta say he hit the nail on the head with that comment. WORST seats ever!) It was over $400 per person cheaper to do it that way and there was six of us travelling together. For over $2400 we sucked it up and made the trek.
"blh" your comment really hit home. Pick a spot we loved and explore more. We LOVED Italy. We've been there 2 1/2 times but I think I could go back there tomorrow. The Roman history fascinates me, the food is AMAZING and there is so much more to see.
PalenQ - I think I'll check the Italian weather even further off from shoulder season and see what it looks like, especially inregards to how much less expensive things are. If we can handle winter in MN we can deal with cool weather. Rain and sleet - I'm not so crazy about it.
Still on the radar, Portugal, Romania & Croatia. Will add Spain and even France. It's not fair to judge all of France based on Parisians but that is the one spot in all of our travels we have felt unwelcome and even outright hostility.
Half the fun for me is in the planning so the search will continue.

Depending on how much time you travel and where you end up in Italy, you can combine with Croatia. Ferries make the trek from Bari, Ancona, and Venice. Happy planning!
I'd take a week in a tiny village in Italy over just about anything right now.

I don't think it is possible to understand Europe without going to Greece, and it is a very cheap destination.

Nothing wrong with going back to Italy again. I can pretty much guarantee there are still many new things for you to see and do there
I'm big on doing what I WANT to do when I travel. I have no need to fulfill a "bucket list" or check things off just to say I've been there (or because they are a little cheaper than where I really want to go).

I think you can have a great trip combining Croatia and/or Slovenia with Italy. We took ferries back and forth b/n Italy and Croatia and had a great time.
I may have missed it, but have you been to Budapest/Hungary?

I visited Romania in 2009 and I was very surprised at how inexpensive everything was. Bucharest is not the nicest part but it's worth a day or two, then enjoy the gorgeous scenery in Transilvania.
Budapest is also fabulous and more budget friendly than most of Europe. Hungary and Romania are neighbors, maybe you could see both on the same trip. Neither use the € yet so maybe that is why they are less expensive.
Report Abuse
I would look into Budapest. We really enjoyed our trip there. Upon arrival, my husband wanted to leave immediately, as it is not necessarily an "easy" city to enjoy. He did no research before the trip and he was therefore initially disappointed. That being said, he wound up loving the city, as did I.
Report Abuse
The two least expensive cities that we have visited are Lisbon and Budapest. Enjoyed both and would love to return to each city. We had excellent meals in both places and our accommodations were budget but very nice and well located. Spain is another affordable place to travel. And we are avid users of Priceline for hotels in larger cities.
Report Abuse
At the urging of some travel friends we will visit London in the fall - I have definately had a bit of sticker shock as we usually travel in So. Europe where prices on transportation, lodging, food and beverage seem much cheaper!
We had a brief visit to Lisbon last fall and I was pretty impressed - now I am considering an extended visit there and then taking overnight train to San Sebastian. I found plenty of tasty food options in Lisbon (and food is an important part of the rip to me). There are quite a few day trip options from Lisbon and cheap - we took a 45 minute train ride to a coastal town for about 5E (maybe that is why they have budget problems). I have found what looks to be a nice hotel in Lisbon for 100E a night - NO WAY JOSE in London. San Sebastian also has quite a few reasonable hotel options.
But I'll put in a vote for Budapest too - we were very pleasantly surprised - alot of the Art Noveau architecture and we loved the baths. I do think the people were not quite as friendly (they don't smile much) and there was some shabbiness in some of the buildings - I think they are still emerging from the communist years. Also some lovely nearby areas for daytrips along the Danube. I think with some research you could find good food too - not as dismal as Poland by any means.

Thanks for all the input. Per some of your suggestions I asked; "Where do I WANT to go?"
Italy was the answer.
We are heading out this September for two weeks via FINNAIR for $815 RT.
Let the planning begin in earnest!

I loved Portugal, and it was very economical. It's a beautiful country, and very much under the radar, so not as touristy as some other places. Food and wine are also very good. We did 8 days traveling from Porto to Lisbon with a couple of Pousada stops in between. The coast and Douro valley are spectacular. I look forward to returning and seeing other parts of the country.

I think destination is very important... you should go where you want to go most... and not let price be the determining factor of your vacation.
Like PalenQ said, if your not interested in beaches... then shoulder season or off season is the best way to save money. Also, I would rather eat out of supermarkets or inexpensive places rather then go to a country I have no interest in.

Re: Poland.
(1) Going to Warsaw would lose the wow factor because the city was destroyed in WWII and I've never heard a wow about it - we avoided it other than for flights.
(2) Krakow didn't do it for us either, especially compared to Budapest or Prague, although there were a couple of sights IN Krakow that were excellent in contrast with the city as a whole.
(3) You must not have gone to Gdansk (we did) or Lodz or Poznan (we did not, heard good things though). Malbork Castle and an historical tour of Gdansk would have given you enough wow to make the LOT flights suck less.
Some of the nastiest fish I ever smelled was at a mid-level restaurant in Lisbon. Spanish cuisine is far superior.
As for LOT: yeah, it's not quite Cathay Pacific business class, but you must not have flown on Olympic or, even worse, an American Airline 767-300 international leg. The AA planes are not only small, with narrow seats and no cushion, but they don't even have personal TVs, which Olympic had at least as far back as 2001.
As for Italy, this bit of wisdom from my old man, who has been there far more often than I (three trips for me): "It's hard to find a bad meal in Italy." So don't fret the resto suggestions - just find a place and grab a bite.
Report Abuse
we are just finishing up our trip to mostly the puglia region in italy and we have found it to be a little less expensive than other parts of italy.
i am a brand new fan of airbnb and probably sound like their spokesperson-- but we really, really saved some money this trip by using them for 3 of our places. next trip will be more as all 3 were winners. maybe we were just lucky.
we are now in bologna-- and joked that dinner at 'diana' tonight was free because we saved so much by not staying at a regular hotel. we had kitchens and whole apartments at the other 2 places-- and this one is just a bedroom and own bathroom-- but for $60E a night-- we had a fantastic dinner out just a short walk away.
i guess i'm saying-- go where you want to go-- and look into some new options for lodgings. we had to scour a bit on this trip-- but were able to keep to an overall average well under 100E a night.
happy planning!

Italy is my idea of perfection, but if you love Italy, my guess is that you would also like Spain. It has history, fantastic museums, stunningly beautiful architecture, picturesque landscape and warm welcoming people. It also has that kind of active vibe that you find in much of Italy. It wasn't on my travel list for a long time - no idea why. When I finally went, I was sorry I took so long to go there and have returned twice - so three trips and would love to go again.

we are not budget travelers...but I find Berlin, Bologna, Seville to be very reasonable .

I strongly suggest you should come to Taiwan. It's not expensive and there are a variety of cheap delicious food. The most important thing is Taiwanese are very friendly.

The top three least expensive trips we have taken to Europe in the last 5 years would be Portugal and southern Spain; Budapest; and Berlin. Outside of Europe, South America. The bonus of going to South America from the US is while like Europe it is a long overnight flight, you are only crossing a couple time zones, thus no jet lag recovery.
I see you are going back to Italy. Have a great trip!

The Institute of Social, Statistical and Economic Research says Ghana loses about $2.2m daily or $686.4 million yearly due to the power crisis.
A study conducted by the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) has revealed that businesses lose about $686.4 million annually due to the incessant supply of electricity which has plagued Ghana over the past three years.
According to ISSER, the crisis has lowered the annual sales of Small and Micro businesses by about 37% to 48%. These figures were arrived at following the Opportunity Cost per Kilowatt analysis by ISSER's economic division.
Presenting highlights of the report titled "Electricity insecurity and its impact on micro and small business in Ghana", Head of the Economic Division at ISSER, Dr. Charles Ackah, stated that this translates to about 2% of national output lost due to the current crises..
This is the first time a comprehensive study has quantified in monetary terms, losses suffered by businesses since the power crises began.
According to the opportunity cost per kilowatt analysis by ISSER's Economic Division, the figure translates to about 2% of national output lost due to the energy crisis.
The report was carried out on over 1, 250 SMEs across all 10 regions of Ghana and it was revealed that the crisis has lowered the annual sales of these companies by about 37% to 48%.
The report dubbed: "Electricity insecurity and its impact on small business in Ghana" said only 20% of all MSEs have backup generating sets to support their businesses anytime the power goes off.
