BOYNUYOGUN REFUGEE CAMP, Turkey - Syrian troops backed by tanks and firing heavy machine guns swept into a village near the Turkish border Saturday, forcing more people displaced by the crackdown on anti-government protesters to flee across the frontier.
The Local Coordination Committees, a group that documents protests, said troops backed by six tanks and several armored personnel carriers entered Bdama in the morning. The village, about 12 miles from the Turkish border, had a bakery that was the sole source of bread for nearly 2,000 displaced people crowded near the border who had hoped not to have to flee to the Turkish tent-city sanctuary. The town was also supplying medicine and other foodstuffs to them.
The three-month uprising against President Bashar Assad's rule has proved stunningly resilient despite a relentless crackdown by the military, pervasive security forces and pro-regime gunmen. Human rights activists say more than 1,400 Syrians have been killed and 10,000 detained as Assad tries to maintain his grip on power.

Nevertheless, making that positive move to purchase a life insurance is an important one and I am sure many of you will wonder, "how much is enough?". The truth is there is no single standard one size fits all formula. However, I've provided some guidelines here to assist you with making that crucial decision:
Are you the sole income earner in your family? - If you fall into this category of income earner, then the size of the life insurance policy has to adequately cover the income that would be lost in the event of your death, or in other words, ideally the income that you will earn until your retirement age.
The age of your children - If at the point of decision making here, your children are still very young and have yet to attend college, it is essential to have adequate life insurance coverage so that the surviving parent do not have to worry about college expenses.
Medical Needs and Costs - When it comes to major illnesses, medical costs is a "Fear Factor" to many average income earner. Lengthy illnesses can very quickly increase the medical costs and as such, a comprehensive medical plan should be considered.
Do you have a lot of debts and mortgages? - If you have these, consider adding them to the amount of insurance that you need.
Funeral expenses - If you have never seriously sat down to calculate such expenses, you will be surprised to learn that expenses involving a service, burial or cremation are not cheap, in the least.
Perhaps taking all things into consideration, life insurance may seem a little expensive to some. If that's the case, it may be sensible to initially purchase only enough insurance to cover your debts and obligations. I must add here that although it is risky to be underinsured, it's better than not having any life insurance. As your financial situation improves, you can usually review your needs and coverage, then purchase more insurance under similar terms.

CASEY Dellacqua believes past Fed Cup singles success and the day she "crumbled'' under its responsibility will prepare her to beat Germany's world No.7 Angelique Kerber on Saturday.
Under Fed Cup rules, Dellacqua, as the second-ranked Australian, is set to play top German Kerber on the opening day of the semi-final at Brisbane's Pat Rafter Arena.
Seven years after her maiden Fed Cup singles win at the Gold Coast, the 29-year-old said she felt she was "really playing for something'' with wins in the semi-final and final to give Australia a first title in the teams competition since 1974.
"It was a dead rubber when I won that match in Fed Cup (over Ukrainian Yuliana Fedak) and I also remember playing a live rubber in Seoul and I crumbled,'' said Dellacqua, who has a 5-3 record in singles play.
"So you learn from those experiences and as you get older deal with it a lot better.
"We have been playing over the years to stay in the world group or win promotion to it. But we are playing for something now and it means a lot more. We have made it one step further than we have done previously.
"Fed Cup brings the best out of people and the most nerves out of people. But I think I play my best tennis in Australia.
"It will be a tough challenge and I have been in no better position to take that challenge on.''
A reason why there is some hope for Australia to win the two-day tie against rankings favourites Germany is Dellacqua's form, which has taken her ranking from No.142 to No.53 during 2014.
After making the Australian Open fourth round, Dellacqua last month reached the quarter-finals from qualifying at Indian Wells, California and the third round at Miami.
Dellacqua, who has not played Kerber since 2011, said most in international tennis would expect the German No.1 and sidekick Andrea Petkovic to finish in the winning team on Sunday.
But three wins over top-20 players by Dellacqua in 2014 serves notice of how difficult she can be on home hardcourts as No.2 player in concert with Australia's No.1 singles player Sam Stosur.
Dellaqcua shapes as the only woman in the semi-final to have to play three matches as she and Ash Barty are Australia's likely doubles team, but three weeks in Sydney since her last tournament was used to rest and undertake fitness work for this tie and the subsequent European claycourt events.
The Sydney-based left-hander said she wanted to better her career-high ranking of No.39, achieved in 2008, and has few ranking points to defend over the next five months.
"I always wanted to be top 100 this year and I am further along than I maybe thought,'' she said.
"That No.39 is certainly a goal, to get higher than I did. After all my surgeries I feel like I am a better player and it would be nice for that ranking to reflect that.''

I am looking for a theme for mobile devices
I just wonder if there is a theme available for mobile devices like iPhone etc.
I would like to make my ocPortal website available to those devices as well.
Community saint
Did you know that ocPortal already works for those devices without a theme change?
At least my site does, where I have several members using different cell phones who browse and interact with my site, even posting, through their cell phone. I have seen Symbian, iPhone, and Android being used on the site with no issue.

Like ocPortal? Want to thank Chris and gang somehow? Then help out in the chat room! It really needs your help! Just open it in a tab everytime you open your web browser, and when you hear a "ding", check it out!
"Those who want help should first be willing to give help."
Fan in training
Yes I can see that the ocPortal theme works on a mobile device but it is largely a pain to navigate because everything must be forced into a small viewable area. There is too much zooming, panning and scrolling for this to be easy for phone and portable device users.
It would be a good idea to have some kind of mobile device detection built into ocPortal for this specific purpose. All other CMS based systems (Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal) seem to have this feature but we do not have it in ocPortal.
It would be very nice to have an automatic browser detection function to redirect mobile users to a secondary mobile theme.
That said, it is possible in ocPortal to detect mobiles in templates, although not well tested with the various different phones out there. You can do:

Artist – Album: The Rolling Stones – The Rolling Stones, Now!
Released: 13th February 1965
Sounds Like: The beginning of something special
I feel like I'm cheating a little bit including this album on my blog. Technically The Rolling Stones, Now! is just various other The Rolling Stones releases rehashed and repackaged for an eager US audience. But... it was released on this day 48 years ago, and it's the only album I have for this day, and it is pretty good, so let's roll with it.
For those of us who only (only!) know The Rolling Stones for their seven hundred gazillion hit singles, this collection of songs comes as something of a shock. Only four of the twelve were penned by Jagger and Richards and, generally speaking, they're the weakest. It's quite clear that the band know this though, as they kick off with three delicious R&B and blues rock covers. They turn in a credible version of 'Everybody Needs Somebody to Love' and follow it up with great interpretations of 'Down Home Girl' and 'You Can't Catch Me'.
At this stage in their careers, the sometime dubbed World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band were merely good covers group, able to get a party started with their R&B tendencies but hardly a headline act. The signs were there though.
A good indicator of their huge potential comes with the closing couplet. Their version of 'Little Red Rooster' is a hypnotic reimagining of a blues standard that made the top spot in the UK charts, whilst 'Surprise Surprise' is an original composition that isn't all that original, but it is really enjoyable, like the best that the Stones have done.

Paramedics are on the front line 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and are never more than a call away. So Lancashire Telegraph reporter Neil Athey has been to see for himself just how the North West Ambulance Service goes about it's daily task of saving lives.
ANNOUNCING over the radio 'a baby is fitting at a house in Blackburn', the 999 despatch caller directed us to our first 'shout'.
Strapping myself into the estate vehicle alongside advanced paramedic Nick Sutcliffe the reality of the life and death situations facing the North West Ambulance Service were blatantly obvious.
As we arrived outside the caller's home a young family was waiting in fear outside.
A regular ambulance had beaten us to the scene by seconds and it's crew were trying to reassure the baby's parents and offer immediate first aid.
As the most senior medic in attendance Nick, who manages a team of 12 senior paramedics in the East Lancashire area, decided the child needed immediate hospital care.
As we followed the ambulance to the hospital in case its condition deteriorated, former firefighter Nick, who has 19 years experience with the ambulance service, cases involving children can be 'very difficult' to deal with.
He said: "It's important to stay as a team and support each other.
"The job can take its toll when you get several traumas in one week, when you have three car crashes, sick children, three heart attacks and other major incidents all at once it really puts a strain on you.
"We often talk to each other after jobs and make sure everyone is okay, what didn't affect you could affect someone else.
"We don't get used to it, but everyone is used to having to deal with it.
"We have support there now for staff to help them.
"We're not heroes, we are here to do a job we are paid for like everyone else.
"But we are human, we can make mistakes, but that's why because we all get on well with each other we can challenge opinions and make sure we've done everything properly.
"Just because I'm in charge doesn't mean I'm right at that moment."
After we see the baby to the hospital, I realise that although I have pulled over many times to give way to ambulances attending emergency calls I have very rarely given much thought to what the crew maybe facing.
"It's something that tests you because every single 'job' is different," said Nick.
"You could go to one car crash on a Monday and then another on Tuesday and the situation is entirely different.
"An older man having a heart attack at the wheel is very different to a pregnant woman, you have to be prepared for lots of situations.
"It's tough, it is and there's no hiding from it, but I think that pushes all paramedics to do the best they can," he said.
The role of the advance paramedic is different to that of a paramedic, who travels in a ambulance. Unlike their colleagues advanced paramedics travel alone and are more senior. They tend to have more experience and are trained to a higher level.
His role is to attend major incidents, such as car crashes, heart attacks and other complex traumas and is often one of he very first people on the scene of an accident.
His estate car is stacked full of medical equipment similar designed for use in all sorts of emergency situations.
The despatch caller is back: "An elderly woman has suffered a heart attack in her home."
Alerting the communications team we are on our way, Nick switches on the sirens.
As the call echoes out for hundreds of yards down the street, everyone knows they need to get out of the way and fast.
Carefully navigating through red lights, speed cameras and bus lanes, Nick's driving skills were put to the test as we reach the M65 accelerate towards the incident.
Nick tells me he is constantly thinking about the situation, which changes and develops as we get closer, making him plan his next move.
As we arrive we see two ambulances outside the house in Accrington, and Nick tells me six of his colleagues are already inside doing everything they can.
The woman isn't breathing on her own and her heart is not beating by itself.
As the family look on in terror, Nick gently approaches them and explains what the team are trying to do and does his best to keep them calm.
But despite the best efforts the team are forced to make the devastating decision to stop working.
I stand in silence as the family try to come to terms with their loss and listen to words of comfort offered by one of the paramedics.
Nick said: "We've all seen hundreds of bodies but we never get used to it.
"Children are very difficult to deal with, none of us want to come across those sorts of situations.
"But I love being a paramedic, caring for patients is something I have always wanted to do and will never stop."
During his career, Nick said has seen an increase in a number of different incidents, including suicides.
He said: "I have found suicides hard to deal with.
"We have to be there for the family and to support them.
"Sometimes it can be quite upsetting dealing with the emotions from the families
"We also see more road side collisions now because more people are on the road than ever before."
Other complications that come with the job are assaults, Nick said almost all paramedics he has worked with have been assaulted in one way or another.
Looking towards the future, he said the profession is constantly adapting and changing.
Nick said: "Paramedics now have to have a degree, so they are getting a better education.
"Technology is rapidly changing and improving the efficiency of paramedics, which means survival rates are increasing through that.
"I've always said it's about having the right care for the right person.
"It would be easy to say I want to hire 500 paramedics and everything would be fine, but it's about having the specifically trained people doing the specific jobs.
"It would be pointless for myself to go to what I would see as a 'minor' job, when there could be someone's life at risk and they die because I'm not there.
"The way we work, the way we train and the way we think about different situations is always changing for the better.
"This can only mean better treatment for our patients."

Gurudwara Guru Nanak Math, Kathmandu
Books on Kathmandu are silent about the Shrine. It is not on the tourist map. No coaches park below the small forested hill by the river on the road to Balaju. The temple is left to bird song and the occasional visitor who either knows it is there or by chance comes upon the small weathered sign which says, "Guru Nanak Math†(27°43'31?N 85°18'19?E).
An arching stairway leads through trees and bamboo to the small building which from the outside looks like any Nepali farmhouse. I found the climb up the stairs refreshing even though I was a bit breathless. The city, which now encroaches on the fields about the hill, is so screened by greenery that one can almost forget its existance. The busy sound of traffic trails further and further behind. Through openings in the trees can be seen the river and a high mountain. A small grassy clearing just before the house is just the kind of place a weary traveler would have welcomed. Cool. Quiet. Undisturbed.
A stone slab with two carved feet marking the spot where Guru Nanak lay in meditation at the Shrine The doorway to the lime-washed house is plastered with ochre earth. The black painted door is small in the way of old Nepal, so one stoops to enter. An old man, asleep on the clean, earthern floor sits up and smiles a welcome. His dog, curled up beside him, takes no notice. I beg his pardon. Perhaps I've made a mistake. I'm looking for the Guru Nanak Math.
He leads me barefooted across a freshly plastered courtyard at the centre of which is a Shrine with a tulsi plant growing out of the top. It is difficult to make out the deities in the small niches but he agrees, as I think aloud, that they are Vishnu, Shiva and Parvati, Hanuman and Pashupatinath. In a verandah are steep stairs which we climb to enter into a small dark room. At the centre, under a canopy, is an altar draped in red. Here, says my companion, reposes the Granth Sahib, written by Guru Nanak himself in letters of gold. I ask him to repeat what he said because if he is correct, then this almost forgotten Shrine in a land not normally associated with the saint possesses a rare and unique relic.
Strangely, the preist who is Nepali, wears none of the symbols of Sikhism; turban, kara, kirpan or kanga. However, his graying hair is unshorn and, for a Nepali, he sports a fair beard. I learn, with undisguised excitement, that he belongs to the earliest unreformed order of Sikhs who are often unrecognizable from Vaishnavite Hindus. At Pashupatinath, I would have taken him for a Sadhu. He whisked me out of the courtyard into a small garden wild with shrubs and flowers. Under a large pipul tree he pointed out a stone slab on which were carved two feet, laid with roses. "The Guru's,†he said. "It is at this spot that Guru Nanak sat in meditation. In that little Shrine behind you, are buried the ashes of a Nepali king.â€
We sat together on mossy steps leading up to the Shrine, a strong scent of jasmine in the air as two bulbuls were pecking about the carved feet. And there he told me the story of the temple of the golden book and the Shrine against which we sat.
It seems a Malla king of the early sixteenth century �" the priest did not know his name �" suffered a disturbed mind. His brothers, alarmed by his behaviour, banished him to India. Roaming forlornly through the holy city of Benaras he came upon the saint Guru Nanak and begged him to cure his affliction. After many visits and much beseeching, the Guru advised the king to return to his kingdom where his health would be restored.
Miraculously, the saint preceded the king to Kathmandu for there he was, meditating under a pipal tree on a hill beside the river. The king visited him at once, begging the Guru to return him to the palace. Guru Nanak refused to do so, saying that in this serene spot he had all he wanted. So the king had a temple built for his Guru and a small Shrine for himself where he often came to meditate. When the king died, some of his ashes were buried in the Shrine according to his last wishes.
A later king, Rana Bahadur Shah, also of unsound mind, is said to have found solace at the Guru Nanak Math. He gifed considerable land to the temple so it might never want for support.
Perhaps the records have long since perished because slowly the gurdwara lands have been encroached upon until only the hill remains. It would be tragedy if modern hungers consume the trees and push concrete within reach of the peaceful old building.
When I went back to sketch the garden and the temple, I was met by another old priest. I asked him if I might see the Guru's footprints. "Ah yes,†he said, "they are the Guru Nanak's feet, but they are also Vishnu's. They are both the same.â€
And who, I asked, wrote the golden book enShrined in the temple. "Sri Chand, the Guru's son,†he said. Was it not Guru Nanak?
By then the Guru had gone to Tibet, he said. "But it is all the same. Our gods are our gods.â€
Obviously the lovely, lonely Guru Nanak Math is in need of a Sikh Scholar to unravel its truths and legends. Until then it will remain a half-forgotten temple on a wooded hill threatened by the brick and concrete advances of Kathmandu.

Hi! My name is Kaylie, DH is Casey and we'll be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary in Feb :cheer: We have a little girl Mahayla who will be 9 months this Friday and our 2nd baby girl is due March 30! We have no clue what to do with this baby's room, we want it to be different from Mahayla's...not do the name on the wall. The first pic is of the crib we are pretty set on getting but we're prob not going to get a chest of drawers or changing table...I was thinking of having DH build a little book shelf and staining it to match the crib or painting it to match the bedding set, which we havnt picked out lol May's room is done in butterflies and flowers so we want something different for this baby, just not sure what. The room is fairly big and just a crib would look too empty IMO. Im looking for whatever suggestions I can get on EVERYTHING. Where to put the crib, colors, a bedding set (im only wanting to spend about $50 on that, but would spend more depending on the set), things to add....whatever ideas pop in your head just let me know lol Ill post some pics of Mahayla's room and what the new baby's room looks like now so maybe you can get some ideas! TIA!!
Here's the crib we are most likely going to get
Heres the room....you can pretty much see the 3 walls, the wall behind me is small and then theres the closet (this is DH's junk room as you can tell lol) I know there's a lot of stuff in there but we'll slowly be getting it out....we actually just got rid of the bed this weekend.
This is DD's room (these were taken right before she was born...the other room is the same size just laid out differently)
This is the best pic I have of the wall with the closet
I'll help!! I love decorating and helping ppl out!! (especially with nurseries! can't wait to do my own...)
So some questions...since you want the new babies room to be different that her sister's, hence the different color furniture (I like that color for a crib) and her's is flowers/butterflies and looks pink, yellow and purple mostly...do you want the new nursery to be a different color? just trying to get ideas! I'm gonna research and try to find something that I think would work for yoru budget, etc.
Thanks that sounds great!! The color isnt really an issue as much as the theme....I dont really want to do butterflies or flowers again, but it would just depend on the bedding set, if I find a flowery bedding set I like then I would want it to be in different colors. I just want them to look different....as far as the design, we wont do the name on the wall this time, so I was thinking about hanging the crib blanket on the wall and maybe trying to find a border to match....IDK but I really dont want to be doing things last minute, and I only have 3 months left!
I started looking around on ebay today and found this bedding set, Im winning right now but theres about 3 hours left on it...I guess we will see!
Gotcha! Good luck putting it together! Hopefully you won't be doing it last minute. Good luck winning. That's a nice one!
So, I searched for bedding ideas....I think it would look adorable/cool if their rooms were different, so I didn't look at pink bedding (since most all is floral or butterflies and that's what your daughter's is) I found this 3 different bedding sets. I think they would look spectacular with the darker furniture.
So here's what I found....
1) http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/87/45/20...96_500X500.jpg from walmart.com
I think the green and red are different and look neat. I think if you painted the walls a light green or a light shade of red like in the bedding, that would look nice.
2) http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/08/20/72...81_215X215.jpg from walmart.com also
I like the look of the red bedding with the dark furniture. (This bedding is more solid than the first one)
3.) http://i22.ebayimg.com/01/i/06/dd/2f/bd_1.JPG from ebay.com (this one has some flowers/butterflies, so it would fit with the other room but would look different. just like your daughters, they would be related (like the butterflies on the bedding) but would probably look different (different hair or eyes, etc.)
4.) http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/P10228599a.jpg from overstock.com I think pink and green would be another good choice of colors.
5.) http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sel...toile_Crib.jpg from ebay
6.) http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sel...isies_Crib.jpg from ebay
7.) http://TRUS.imageg.net/graphics/prod...-3755665dt.jpg from babiesrus.com
9.) http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sel.../2/bb08002.jpg from ebay
10.) http://www.silverskyimports.com/img_...376_bb120a.jpg from ebay
11.) http://i23.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/cb/82/df23_2.JPG
12.) http://i17.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/cc/11/c571_2.JPG
13.) http://www.foreverinseason.com/Photo...ib/LadyBug.jpg
I think ladybugs would be adorable. So you could have your lil butterfly and lil ladybug! :)
Some recommendations:
COLORS: (I suggest) red. pink and green. or purple. or yellow.
THEME: animals (jungle, bees, ladybugs, or teddy bears?), stripes or polka dots, even plain solid looks nice too.
WALLS: if you could I would paint them a color to match. If not I'd get a border or paint a border. And get nice picture frames and hang them on the wall.
LAYOUT: I think i'd put the crib on the wall where the bed/night stand is or in the corner behind the rocker on an angle. The rocker in the other corner on an angle.
If you can have your hubby make the bookcase that would be awesome! I'd put that next/near the rocker. And fill it with books and on top I'd put a cute lamp and some stuffed animals.
I think a layout like this would be awesome and work with the room.
search ebay for bedding, you can find new and barely used ones for great prices! I would leave that rocker in the room and get a huge solid color queen sized flat sheet that would match the bedding set you decided on to use as a cover. (Unless you plan on getting a new rocker/glider)
I would get some curtains that match for the windows.
What are you doing for a changing table? use your other daughters? just curious.
Good luck. Hope this helped! Don't forget to post finished pictures, I'd love to see them!
Wow those are great! My top 2 would prob be 1 and 12, a lot of those I saw looking around ebay, but I didnt see 12 and Ive looked ALL over walmart.com and only found 1 that I really liked that was around my price range, I never saw 1 but that is so cute! Is that one $79?? Ive seen ones in the same style that are that much, but the colors on that are so nice! I'll be able to decide what to do with the room better once I figure out a bedding set...I would love to paint the room but Im not so sure I could get DH to go for that, if nothing else I want to do a border. The rocker is gone, we gave it away...everything is going to be cleared out. We have a glider but it wouldnt match the crib, the wood on the glider is a natural color. We dont plan on getting a changing table either, May has one in her room and it NEVER gets used. I think the biggest prob will prob be making the room look full...
Sorry you didn't see those. Just saw that you got one off ebay.
Good luck with painting or finding a border. (I think a pink border would look good with the set you got)
Bummer about the rocker...if you have one, you could use it in the room if not matching doesn't bother you or you could try to paint it or something.
Fill up the room with a floor lamp, wicker baskets full of toys, and stuff.
Good luck. can't wait to see it!
Those are both cute, but since there arnt any characters on the bedding set I was thinking about a plain border, maybe I can talk DH into doing a little painting as well...cant wait to hear what you come up with!
Mrs. T- I agree with you with the plain border idea. I think that would look awesome.
I found this and though it could work and would look neat.
Other ideas, something pink and brown striped would look good too
Hope this helps! (If you go with border, I think putting it in the middle of the walls would look great!)

Planning to be in Florence for two and a half days in early May. We will arrive about 1pm on a Thurs and depart on Sunday AM.
I know I would like to visit the Ufizzi, Accademia (if time permits), Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, as well as allowing time to stroll, eat local cuisine, taste wines, visit markets etc. I don't want to feel like we're on a treadmill, rushing site to site.
We're staying near the Duomo in central location.
I know everyone has their opinion about what's important to them. I would love it if you shared yours ... Thanks for any help in planning my time in Florence.

We loved visiting the Pitti Palace lots of great Etruscan things.
Also loved having a drink at sunset at the roof bar of the Continental hotel right near the Pone Vechio.

Accademia is easily visited if you wait until about 5pm. The tour groups have all gone and access is easy. We waited no more than 10 minutes to gain entry. And it's fantastic, I thought David was breathtaking. There's lots to see there but if you just want to see David then 30 minutes will be plenty of time. The gallery is open until about 7pm. Do,go, I doubt you'll be sorry.
As far as the rest of your stay goes, Florence is quite small and you won't have any trouble seeing everything you want to see in your 2 1/2 days. There is fantastic gelato, but be warned that the gelato shops near the Ponte Vecchio charge like wounded bulls! One hundred metres further down the street the price drops dramatically.
Report Abuse
"...gelato shops near Ponte Vecchio charge like bulls!"
The same is true for the jewellery stores. If you do want to invest in a little silver something to remind you of Florence, walk away from this bridge.
I found Michelangelo's incomplete sculptures just as breathtaking as David. Make sure that you have enough time to really 'see it'. I agree, go early or late. We were there before opening time in the morning, walked right in and had the place (almost) to ourselves.

I really fail to see how the things shouted out by posters above are any greater or more interesting than the many famous sights they have not mentioned. Zillions of folks have been to Florence and been thrilled to see the Duomo and never once regretted not taking time away to visit Etruscan artifacts or see sculptures in the Bargello. My favorite bar is not the Continental, so shouldn't you go to mine?
For what it is worth, after more than half a dozen to visits to Florence I finally made a reservation to go to the Accademia to see "David" and while it was interesting, I was much more fascinated by the tapestry up on the 3rd floor and I was really glad to have seen it. For just plain enjoyment, I liked the musical instruments museum there.
I think what people are really telling is that they did what they wanted to do in Florence and followed their own noses and their own nterests and they were really wowed. So maybe the best plan is to do that yourself and don't travel with other people sitting on your shoulder hollering "go over here!" "No, this way!" "Eat a lot of gelato!" "This is THE place for cocktails". It is fun that Florence has so many top 10 attractions that people can go almost anywhere and come up with a completely different top 10 list and have no clue about what other people think is the top 10.
Have a great time in what I think is the most beautiful city in Europe.
Report Abuse
Make sure time permits for you to visit the Accademia - the David is worth the trip to Florence. I would skip the Pitti with only 2+ days but try to find time for Santa Croce.
Report Abuse
If you try to cram in too many museums and art-laden churches in your two-plus days, the art will be just a blur. You'll be able to say you visited such-and-such museum or church, but that's about all.
What are you interested in? If you want to see Renaissance masters, then obviously the Uffizi, where you can easily spend an afternoon. Sculpture? The Bargello. Michaelangelos David? Then obviously the Accademia. (And I agree that you can go there late in the afternoon and just walk in if David is "a goal.") Michelangelo and Galileo's tombs? Then Santa Croce. If you head for the Duomo and the nearby Baptistry, sites you'll be near, you're going to be caught up in the crowds; you're arriving in Florence in the teeth of the weekend in May. I wouldn't recommend the Pitti Palace on a first short visit to Florence; it's enormous, but if you go there you'll likely want to focus on the Palatine Gallery, where many of the more well-known paintings can be found. Other people will tell you that the Brancacci Chapel (Santa Maria del Carmine and Masaccio's frescoes) is wonderful or the Duomo Museum (where Ghiberti's original "Gates of Paradise" for the Baptistry are housed) is a site to consider. They're right, but are they right for you on an initial visit?
Do your homework, consider your priorities, be selective, so that you'll have time to relax, walk around, have a drink, watch people ...
You're going to need to reserve a time for the Uffizi, if you want to go there. Do you know that? Where are you staying? Your hotel can likely help you reserve a spot for such a visit? There's a ton of information on Florence on this Forum about making reservations, restaurants, museums, churches, places to relax, so much so that you're likely better off spending your time using the search engine above to get information already posted than to wait for answers to your original post.

I strongly agree with the advice not to let others tell you what to see. That's what a good guide book is for. Would you let perfect strangers choose your wardrobe? Don't let them plan your vacation, either.
The Uffizi is a museum for lovers of Italian Renaissance paintings. That's what most of the huge museum is devoted to, and I've read many reports from people who didn't care for it at all. (One said it was just one Madonna after another, but he used a modifier that I'm not sure would pass muster here.) I could spend hours at the Uffizi, but there are other "top 10s" in Italy that I really don't care for very much. For example, the Borghese Gallery in Rome doesn't do much for me. That's mostly because I'm not a big fan of Bernini, that over-the-top Baroque sculptor. To be perfectly honest, I'm not all that much into Michelangelo, either. I still haven't got around to the Accademia, but I'm sure I'll see David one day. On the other hand, I've made repeat visits to the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo just to see Donatello's Mary Magdalene.

Решила сегодня запечь салмон-спаржу-молодую картошку.
Нашла рецепт
Получилось вкусно! Я правда еще салмона замочила в терияки соусе/маринаде на пару часов.Ingredients
1 pound small new potatoes, scrubbed clean and halved
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 pound medium asparagus, trimmed and sliced on the diagonal, 1-inch long pieces
1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
1 strip of lemon zest
1 small garlic clove, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 (8-to-10 ounce) salmon fillets, or steaks cut about 1-inch thick
1 lemon, cut into large wedges
1 Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large, shallow baking dish (not glass, as it might break in an oven that hot) coat the potatoes with olive oil and salt. Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in the baking dish and roast for 10-12 minutes, until the potatoes begin to brown on the bottom. Turn the potatoes over and roast another 10 minutes until browned on top. Remove the baking dish from the oven.
2 In a medium bowl, toss the asparagus with the chopped dill, lemon zest, garlic, salt and a little olive oil. Add the asparagus mixture to the potatoes and stir to combine.
3 Push the vegetables to the side of the dish to make room for the salmon. If you are using fillets, put them skin side down. Salt the salmon well and return the baking dish to the oven. Roast the salmon and asparagus for 10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.
If you want, remove the skin and center bones (if you are using steaks), and arrange on individual plates before serving. Garnish with fresh dill and lemon wedges.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Operation Write Home, Federal Way, WA, USA
I am so proud to be President of an organization like OWH. We get to serve the bravest of the brave - the strongest of the strong. We may only be making cards for them, but it's one way we can help them by doing what we know how to do.
I've never been so glad to be part of any group of people as I have of our cardmakers who come together to support those serving in harm's way. It's astonishing the lengths people go to in making really beautiful cards - spending small fortunes on beautiful papers and cardstock, embellishments, stamps, markers, ribbon....and they do this out of such kindness. They don't need a thank you. They just want to give back. And that really touches my heart.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Letters received back from recipients of the cards, and meeting with heroes in person.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Continue to grow cardmaker skills and quality as we've been doing - to completely bless our heroes with the BEST cards. Because they deserve the very best!
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Quick Help in Case of Emergency at the Touch of a Button

Quick Help in Case of Emergency at the Touch of a Button
Vitaphone Emergency Call System 1300 is Rated Best by Consumer Magazine Programme "markt"
Mannheim. Mobility, safety and a self-determined life are very important in particular to the elderly. Emergency call and care systems may constitute a valuable support. This is why the renowned consumer and economic magazine programme "markt" of Westdeutscher Rundfunk used the pre-Christmas period to test the systems of three manufacturers under real conditions. The emergency call system Vitaphone 1300 – including a mobile phone with GPS receiver and direct connection to the Telemedical Service Center available around the clock - clearly came out on top whereas the systems offered by other manufacturers showed clear shortcomings – including a double breakdown.
The tester used the forest Hürtgenwald in the Eifel region as setting and simulated two emergency situations that may occur frequently in everyday life together with three older ladies who had ordered the devices in the normal way via the service providers. Only difference: whereas a bus stop was the site of the incident in the first case - and thus easy to find, the second fictitious case of emergency happened on a park bench in the middle of the forest. Relatives of the test persons should be informed after the emergency call has been triggered. The aim was to find out whether the devices reliably transmit their owner's position and whether the promises of quick information of relatives in connection with the initiation of emergency measures given by the providers are kept.
The emergency call system Vitaphone 1300 performed both tasks reliably. Thanks to the direct connection to the Telemedical Service Center, GPS location of the test person worked under the difficult conditions in the forest as well. The team of the Telemedical Service Center informed the grandson as contact person immediately after the emergency call and described him the way to his grandmother. "Sven is led to his grandmother after 15 minutes by Vitaphone. In the meantime, he even receives two calls from the call center asking whether it had better call an ambulance. Great plus," explain the editors of "markt" at their website.
"The test result documents clearly that more than 10 years of telemedical expertise and development for the benefit of mankind and medicine pay off. And we are also a bit proud of that," explains Dipl.-Kaufmann Matthias Quinger, Managing Partner of Vitaphone GmbH, regarding the results of the editors of "markt".
By means of the satellite navigation system GPS (Global Positioning System) integrated into Vitaphone 1300, the device can be located in the open. Accuracy amounts up to 15 meters. The GPS data are transmitted automatically to the Telemedical Service Center while the communication for the emergency call is being established. The whereabouts of the caller can also be shown graphically on a map there. Moreover, the software automatically states the telephone number of the rescue coordination Center responsible for this location. This is how no valuable time will be lost in case of emergency.
The direct connection with the Telemedical Service Center can be used for other services as well: based of the exact position data, the user of the mobile phone may receive a large number of site-specific information from the Service Center. Whether hotel, petrol station or the next pharmacy, the user will receive competent information around the clock.
The emergency call function of Vitaphone 1300 can be activated at the push of a button even if the mobile is switched off. The voice communication is established after having pressed the emergency button in this case as well. But the device can do even more: With the user's prior consent, the Telemedical Service Center can actively establish a communication with the Vitaphone 1300 and query the location. The current GPS data are then transmitted to the Service Center and the mobile phone is located. This function is important, for example, when the user is no longer able to make an emergency call himself / herself on account of an accident or an acute disease.

Greg & Marie Quill purchased this house in 2008
Mt. Snow offers fantastic skiing and snowboarding. We also wanted to be close by to take care of our home.
We love how close our home is to the mountain and how much room there is for everyone to spread out or gather around to play games or enjoy a nice dinner. Our home has nice, comfortable furnishings and decor, but everyone can feel relaxed and right at home.

My family and I stayed at this home and we had a wonderful time. There was plenty of space for 7 adults and 4 children. The kids had fun playing in the spacious backyard. And the kitchen had everything we needed.
Great house. Clean, nice, well-equipped.
I originally had 11 adults set up for this trip and ended up only going with 8. It was the perfect weekend get away for a group of snowboarders. The hot tub was ideal after an entire day on the mountain, the table was the perfect size for a "family" dinner. Everything was clean and to the point.
This home had more conveniences than any other home we have stayed in. Plenty of room for everyone. Lots of games and fun things in the basement. Love the huge master bedroom and the back deck with grill. Greg and Marie were awesome to deal with. We had an unfortunate incident with the stove and within a few hours a brand new stove was delivered. Thanks so much for renting your home home to us. CF Live Oak, FL
Eight of us (4 adults, 4 children) had the pleasure of staying at the cottage for the long Columbus Day weekend. Everything was as advertised, a lot of space and sleeping areas, great activities, hot tub and fully loaded kitchen. This is a can't miss place to go if you love Vermont. Convenient to everything you will need to make your trip the best it can be. Owners were very responsive and easy to get a hold of. We also got our deposit back in a timely manner. My family and I would recommend this house to anyone.
-Randy L.
This is our second straight year staying at Balsam Cottage and hopefully we will be back. Great location close to conveniences and with a lot of privacy, amazing weather and everything you could need to be comfortable.

Well, it's become official... Google is now officially marked as a spammer ISP:
Huh. I've received zilch in the way of spam from them (as opposed to Hotmail and other free-mail systems). I think the invite system has a lot to do with it. Made it harder to setup bogus accounts on the fly (not impossible, but definatly harder). I guess it is inevitable thought.

Pesto Bruschetta II
I know, I know, this is my second pesto bruschetta post in a very short time. However, I had to share this version I made today because it was so yummy. Today was my day to host our playgroup friends. We usually get together and have a light kid-friendly lunch consisting of crackers, cheese, fruit, and meats. Today I made those trays and I also added a couple of things for the adults and this bruschetta was a hit. Tonight I'm going to make a smaller version of today's lunch. I know Joseph is going to love the bruschetta as well.
Pesto Bruschetta
1 french baguette
olive oil
4 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
¼ cup onion
½ cup fresh basil
2 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh basil pesto
Cut tomatoes into 1/3 inch slices and then run your finger around each piece to remove the seeds and extra juices. Continue to dice tomatoes and place in a medium sized bowl. Add minced garlic, diced onion, and basil chiffonade (Remove basil from stems, roll like a cigarette, and slice into very thin strands.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. This can be done 10 minutes to 1 day in advance.
Cut the baguette into ¼ inch slices. Place on a sheet pan and brush with a light coating of olive oil. Broil on high for 3-4 minutes or until lightly brown . Remove from oven and let cool. Spread a layer of pesto on each piece of bread. Place a heaping spoonful of the tomato mixture on top and finish with a layer of freshly grated parmesan cheese

The Stolen Land is, of course Palestine, the sad land taken over by the Jews in 1948. If we know the Bible we are prone to think that it is the land of the Jew. They got it by fraud. They hold it by terror. His Majesty's Government's part in the theft is not to its credit. See the Balfour Declaration for more on that episode.
A lot of people assume the Jews are in the right, even if they are not happy about the Gaza Massacre and other atrocities perpetrated by God's Chosen People.
For a first class explanation of the case for the Palestinians look at King Abdullah I on Zionism. He reads as an honest man who knows what he is talking about.
If Americans Knew - http://www.ifamericansknew.org/
Alison Weir tells us about the evil done by Jews in Palestine, the Stolen Land. The thieves use the Holocaust® Story as an excuse.
Palestine get smaller while Israel gets bigger. It is like the death of a thousand cuts.
Perhaps this better illustrates the thieving done by God's Chosen People
