New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Jesus left that part of the country and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown. | 1 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. |
2 The next Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. They asked, "Where did he get all his wisdom and the power to perform such miracles? | 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. "Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! |
3 He's just the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us." They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. | 3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him. |
4 Then Jesus told them, "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family." | 4 Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." |
5 And because of their unbelief, he couldn't do any mighty miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. | 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. |
6 And he was amazed at their unbelief. Then Jesus went out from village to village, teaching. | 6 And he was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. |
7 And he called his twelve disciples together and sent them out two by two, with authority to cast out evil spirits. | 7 Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits. |
8 He told them to take nothing with them except a walking stick -- no food, no traveler's bag, no money. | 8 These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. |
9 He told them to wear sandals but not to take even an extra coat. | 9 Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. |
10 "When you enter each village, be a guest in only one home," he said. | 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. |
11 "And if a village won't welcome you or listen to you, shake off its dust from your feet as you leave. It is a sign that you have abandoned that village to its fate." | 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them." |
12 So the disciples went out, telling all they met to turn from their sins. | 12 They went out and preached that people should repent. |
13 And they cast out many demons and healed many sick people, anointing them with olive oil. | 13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them. |
14 Herod Antipas, the king, soon heard about Jesus, because people everywhere were talking about him. Some were saying, "This must be John the Baptist come back to life again. That is why he can do such miracles." | 14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him." |
15 Others thought Jesus was the ancient prophet Elijah. Still others thought he was a prophet like the other great prophets of the past. | 15 Others said, "He is Elijah." And still others claimed, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago." |
16 When Herod heard about Jesus, he said, "John, the man I beheaded, has come back from the dead." | 16 But when Herod heard this, he said, "John, the man I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!" |
17 For Herod had sent soldiers to arrest and imprison John as a favor to Herodias. She had been his brother Philip's wife, but Herod had married her. | 17 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married. |
18 John kept telling Herod, "It is illegal for you to marry your brother's wife." | 18 For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." |
19 Herodias was enraged and wanted John killed in revenge, but without Herod's approval she was powerless. | 19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to, |
20 And Herod respected John, knowing that he was a good and holy man, so he kept him under his protection. Herod was disturbed whenever he talked with John, but even so, he liked to listen to him. | 20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him. |
21 Herodias's chance finally came. It was Herod's birthday, and he gave a party for his palace aides, army officers, and the leading citizens of Galilee. | 21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. |
22 Then his daughter, also named Herodias, came in and performed a dance that greatly pleased them all. "Ask me for anything you like," the king said to the girl, "and I will give it to you." | 22 When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to you." |
23 Then he promised, "I will give you whatever you ask, up to half of my kingdom!" | 23 And he promised her with an oath, "Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom." |
24 She went out and asked her mother, "What should I ask for?" Her mother told her, "Ask for John the Baptist's head!" | 24 She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of John the Baptist," she answered. |
25 So the girl hurried back to the king and told him, "I want the head of John the Baptist, right now, on a tray!" | 25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter." |
26 Then the king was very sorry, but he was embarrassed to break his oath in front of his guests. | 26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. |
27 So he sent an executioner to the prison to cut off John's head and bring it to him. The soldier beheaded John in the prison, | 27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, |
28 brought his head on a tray, and gave it to the girl, who took it to her mother. | 28 and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother. |
29 When John's disciples heard what had happened, they came for his body and buried it in a tomb. | 29 On hearing of this, John's disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. |
30 The apostles returned to Jesus from their ministry tour and told him all they had done and what they had taught. | 30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. |
31 Then Jesus said, "Let's get away from the crowds for a while and rest." There were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat. | 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." |
32 They left by boat for a quieter spot. | 32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. |
33 But many people saw them leaving, and people from many towns ran ahead along the shore and met them as they landed. | 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. |
34 A vast crowd was there as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he taught them many things. | 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. |
35 Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, "This is a desolate place, and it is getting late. | 35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late. |
36 Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy themselves some food." | 36 Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat." |
37 But Jesus said, "You feed them." "With what?" they asked. "It would take a small fortune to buy food for all this crowd!" | 37 But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take eight months of a man's wages ! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?" |
38 "How much food do you have?" he asked. "Go and find out." They came back and reported, "We have five loaves of bread and two fish." | 38 "How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five--and two fish." |
39 Then Jesus told the crowd to sit down in groups on the green grass. | 39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. |
40 So they sat in groups of fifty or a hundred. | 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. |
41 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and asked God's blessing on the food. Breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread and fish to the disciples to give to the people. | 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. |
42 They all ate as much as they wanted, | 42 They all ate and were satisfied, |
43 and they picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread and fish. | 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. |
44 Five thousand men had eaten from those five loaves! | 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand. |
45 Immediately after this, Jesus made his disciples get back into the boat and head out across the lake to Bethsaida, while he sent the people home. | 45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. |
46 Afterward he went up into the hills by himself to pray. | 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray. |
47 During the night, the disciples were in their boat out in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on land. | 47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. |
48 He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard and struggling against the wind and waves. About three o'clock in the morning he came to them, walking on the water. He started to go past them, | 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, |
49 but when they saw him walking on the water, they screamed in terror, thinking he was a ghost. | 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, |
50 They were all terrified when they saw him. But Jesus spoke to them at once. "It's all right," he said. "I am here! Don't be afraid." | 50 because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." |
51 Then he climbed into the boat, and the wind stopped. They were astonished at what they saw. | 51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, |
52 They still didn't understand the significance of the miracle of the multiplied loaves, for their hearts were hard and they did not believe. | 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened. |
53 When they arrived at Gennesaret on the other side of the lake, they anchored the boat | 53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. |
54 and climbed out. The people standing there recognized him at once, | 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. |
55 and they ran throughout the whole area and began carrying sick people to him on mats. | 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. |
56 Wherever he went -- in villages and cities and out on the farms -- they laid the sick in the market plazas and streets. The sick begged him to let them at least touch the fringe of his robe, and all who touched it were healed. | 56 And wherever he went--into villages, towns or countryside--they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed. |

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A country club is a private club, often with a closed membership, that typically offers a variety of recreational sports facilities and is located in city outskirts or rural areas.[1] Activities may include, for example, any of golf, tennis, swimming or polo. An athletic club is similar but is usually located within an urban setting, which may exclude certain activities such as golf or polo. On the other hand, rock climbing practice or a martial art may be available. A country club will usually provide hospitality to members and guests such as a restaurant and bar, and may also provide suitable accommodations for host-catered events, such as weddings. Country clubs originated in Scotland[2] and first appeared in the US in the early 1880s.[3] Often located on the fringe of urban areas, country clubs had a profound effect on expanding suburbanization[4] and are considered to be the precursor to gated community development.[5]
A golf club is a private club organized to play golf. A golf club usually has its own golf course. The most exclusive golf clubs have extensive facilities, such as a restaurant, bar, and swimming pool for their members. Membership is usually by annual subscription. Sometimes the club expects its members to buy stock and has monthly food and beverage purchase minimums.
A tennis club is a private club organized to play tennis. Tennis instruction is normally included, along with tournaments, and the club has its own tennis courts. Tennis clubs often have tennis pros who teach the members. Some tennis clubs have on-site tennis retail and repair facilities, where members can purchase balls, rackets, and clothes, and have rackets restrung.
Country clubs can be exclusive organizations. In small towns, membership in the country club is often not as exclusive or expensive as in larger cities where there is competition for a limited number of memberships. In addition to the fees, some clubs have additional requirements to join. For example, membership can be limited to those who reside in a particular housing community.
Country clubs were founded by upper-class elites between 1880 and 1930.[6] Therefore, country clubs were generally created and financed by wealthy white Protestant men in a time when economic racial and cultural issues segregated the United States.[7] By 1907, country clubs were claimed to be "the very essence of American upper-class."[8] The number of country clubs increased exponentially with industrialization, the rise in incomes, and suburbanization in the 1920s.[9] During the 1920s, country clubs acted as community social centers.[10] However, the number of country clubs decreased drastically during the Great Depression for lack of membership funding.[11]
Between 2008 and 2013, the number of country clubs and golf courses in the United States changed very little. There were a total of 11,600 country clubs in 2011. The total size of the 2011 market was slightly over $21.5 billion. [12]
Historically, many country clubs refused to admit members of minority racial groups, such as Black people, Asian Americans, and non-white Hispanic Americans, as well as members with specific faiths, such as Jewish or Catholic individuals. In many jurisdictions, such discriminatory requirements are now prohibited, but in others, such policies are still legal or are subject to specific circumstances.[13] In some cases, lawsuits have forced clubs to drop discriminatory policies.
In one example, in 1990 professional golfer Tom Watson resigned from the Kansas City Country Club in Mission Hills, Kansas, in protest after local businessman and civic leader Henry Bloch was denied membership. Watson believed the club denied Bloch because he was Jewish. Although Watson is not Jewish, his then-wife and children are. After Watson's nationally-publicized protest, Bloch was offered a membership, which he accepted. Watson rejoined the club in 1995. Since that time The Kansas City Country Club has accepted several minority and Jewish members.[14] In September 2008 Katon Dawson left Forest Lake Club after a twelve year membership because it still has a whites-only restriction.[15] The Philadelphia Cricket Club is the oldest country club in the United States.
In the United Kingdom, most exclusive country clubs are simply golf clubs, and play a smaller role in their communities than American country clubs; gentlemen's clubs in Britain—many of which admit women while remaining socially exclusive—fill many roles of the United States' country clubs. The issue of male-only clubs does, however, sometimes arouse controversy.
Country clubs exist in multiple forms, including athletic-based clubs and golf clubs. Notable examples are the Breakfast Point Country Club in Sydney, the Castle Hill Country Club, the Gold Coast Polo & Country Club, and the Sanctuary Cove's Country Club.
In Japan, almost all golf clubs are called "Country Clubs" by their owners. See Japan Golf Tour.
In Pakistan most of the country clubs are called just 'clubs'. Pakistan has state owned as well as private clubs. The country club tradition is deeply entrenched owing to the British Raj and dozens of clubs exist throughout the country.
See the article "Social clubs in Pakistan".[16]
Country clubs are founded upon the concept of private membership and exclusion of the general public. Country clubs aim to bring people with similar socioeconomic backgrounds together and were never intended to be agencies of social integration.[17] Country clubs continue to socially segregate class based on income through exorbitant membership costs.[18] The history of the country club is strongly laden with racial, ethnic, and gender exclusion, which has been documented since the country club's origins.[19] However, discrimination has gradually decreased over time and country clubs have become more ethnically and racially diverse.[20]
During the 2008 United States presidential campaign, one of Barack Obama's video adverts criticised his Republican rival John McCain for espousing "country club economics".[21]
The country club was originally designed in the 1880s as a social meeting place, albeit one of an exclusive nature.[22] The clubhouse in particular was a place for men of a homogenous background and of similar socioeconomic class to meet in a social setting.[23] This essentially drew people together from a similar social niche under the pretenses of sport.[24] The country club continues to reinforce exclusive identities and maintain a homogenous culture through membership fees and limited invitations for potential members.
Membership is exclusive and limited to individuals belonging to a high or middle-class culture and was once described as being "solely composed of landowners and business owners."[25] Indirectly, country clubs restrict membership to social elites by increasing the cost of entrance and annual fees.[26] Essentially, membership requires a disposable income, thereby making it inaccessible to the working class. If the cost of membership is not enough to deter blue-collar workers, the exorbitant cost of belonging and fitting in with country club culture certainly is.[27] Country clubs are a form of social capital;[28] they advance members' social status, resulting in economic benefits through the value of social networks. Therefore, individuals require pre-existing social capital to become members. Country clubs create avenues for conspicuous consumption in order to demonstrate social status and differentiation.[29] In other words, they enable individuals to showcase personal wealth and status through consumption, and therefore promote consumption. Country clubs pressure individuals to spend on travel, equipment, drinks, and uniforms, all in the hopes of portraying a high-class identity and lifestyle.[30] This exclusionary technique has been fundamental to the country club since its origins and is still practiced today. The Brookstone Country Club requires a $15,000 initiation fee from all new members[31] while the Indian Creek Country Club in Florida requires a $60,000 initiation fee in addition to an $8,000 annual rate.[32]
Originally, country clubs had the power to directly exclude individuals by controlling who was allowed to apply for membership and who gained acceptance.[33] The majority of golf clubs in the USA predating 1914 instilled a system in which existing club members had to nominate a potential applicant before they could undergo an election by the committee.[34] The committee would then determine if the applicant was suitable for membership. Therefore, invitations were limited to those who had pre-existing social ties with club members; preventing diversity.[35][36] This application process resulted not only in class exclusion, but also in racial, ethnic and gender segregation.
Today, the application process to become a member is unique and individualistic to the club, although social capital is still a prerequisite.[37] However, exclusion still exists and judgments' of applicants are encouraged.[38] Segregation by class and income is the most common form of exclusion based on the financial requirements for membership, however insuring that new members "fit in"[39] can result in racial and gender discrimination.
Country clubs in western society are notorious for preserving the white, Anglo-Saxon image of the high-income family.[40] Country clubs promote sameness to ensure the comfort level of pre-existing members.[41] This became hotly contested with the development of human rights and the civil-rights movement. Diversity began to arise slowly within the American country club.
Country clubs originally catered towards those with a disposable income, and therefore, largely catered to whites.[42] However, Anglo-Saxons were not the only wealthy Americans during the early 1900s, yet they were the only ethnicity eligible for country club membership.[43] Many Jewish individuals were equivalently wealthy and financially capable of affording a membership during this era, however were denied entrance based on ethnicity.[44] Country clubs aimed to retain ethnic characteristics and intended to distinguish "those who are in from those who are out."[45] Although diversity is becoming more apparent within the gates of country clubs, it has been a slow process. Clubs constantly denied admission to Jews, regardless of background or wealth.[46] In 1962 the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith inspected 803 country clubs and found only 224 clubs to be nondiscriminatory.[47] The majority of the clubs inspected excluded Jews while others had quotas, which prevented Jewish sub-culture from forming within a country club.[48] However, this resulted in the formation of exclusively Jewish country clubs, further perpetuating the problem of segregation.
Exclusion based on race and ethnicity continues to be an issue in today's society. Indian Creek Country Club has roughly 300 members, many of whom are permanent residents on the island.[49] However, none of the island's wealthy Jewish residents (with the exception of one) are members.[50] Since the club is under 400 members, Florida law states that the club has the ability to exclude whomever it desires.[51] The Indian Creek Country Club has only had a handful of Jewish members and no African American has ever held a membership.[52]
Country clubs exclude by othering based on culture.[53] Although it is illegal to discriminate based on race or ethnicity, country clubs continue to promote WASP culture [clarification needed] and form distinctions based on new money vs. old money.[54] Othering of certain ethnic groups is reflected in the size of ethnic populations within a country club, which is almost always a minority.[55] Insuring minorities of sub-cultures preserves a WASP majority and results in "WASPs in this area feeling less threatened."[56]
However, there have been great improvements and certain clubs have gone on record boasting about diversity.[57] Although racial and ethnic assimilation has occurred in many country clubs, there is little variation of culture and socioeconomic class.[58]

Golf, like the majority of sports, was once male dominated. Therefore, keeping with the confines of social class, women were generally excluded from the course and clubhouse.[59]
There is a very apparent gender aspect to social capital. This is promoted by country clubs and puts women at a disadvantage. The exclusion of women prevents them from attaining the high-class social identity created by country club membership,[60] nor do they have access to make business connections that so often present themselves on the green.[61] This prevents the success of women in the social and business world and further perpetuates the phenomenon of the glass ceiling.[62]
Women were considered to be slower and weaker and the direct cause of athletic delays. Men often claimed that sport was far too demanding for women and that they should have their own institutions. Competitive females contested this segregation and despite earning acceptance on the course from their ability and talent, they continued to be exiled from the masculine sanctum of the clubhouse.[63] Women, like racial-minorities, were limited to specified and restricted times in which the facility was made available to them.[64] This often resulted in females being unable to play during the weekends. Furthermore women did not have a voice pertaining to club affairs.[65] Therefore, although "ladies golf" developed, it was never wholly independent from men.[66] Although the number of independent female members (not associated with a family membership or their husband's membership) began to increase over time, it was always regulated, preventing the deterioration of male middle-class dominance.[67] Increased fees, such as the $250 tournament entrance fee for women entering the Charlottetown Charity Golf Tourney, regulated female population.[68] Furthermore, reducing women's playing time regulated the presence of women and insured a male-dominated environment.[69]
Although exclusion based on gender is becoming less common, the women who are gaining access are predominantly white and middle-class.[70] Therefore, although gender equality is now a social norm, it is among women within a certain socioeconomic class, further perpetuating class exclusion.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tom!
Facts about Tom
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Tom's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Tom is another super cat who came ||<-- this close! to being put to sleep were it not for the love of a wonderful woman in California seeing him and knowing what a special cat he was! Tom was set to die for... get this! Ear mites! He has mites in his little ears, so rather than treat him? They put him on death row!
So Tom got saved and sent to a vet in Saginaw/N Ft Worth where he is a SUPERSTAR now! He is incredibly loving and such a purr box! And to think they were going to kill him for a bug in his little ears - shame!
We think Tom is just about a year old and he is bunny soft with his short, plush coat. He is fully vetted, including a microchip, and all his vaccines. His ears are *sparkling* clean now and he's ready to be YOUR loving cat - would you be Tom's forever family?
This guy is so cute and he is so affectionate. He is curious and he was obviously someone's pet - he knows all about the refrigerator - peering inside to see if we had any beer, I guess? (We don't!) And when we flush? He runs to watch the water swirl down the toilet - hilarious! This kitty is one you can probably train to use the toilet instead of the litter pan! He snuggled up and slept with us last night and likes our window sills to look outside and watch the birds hop along and pick up seed off the lawn. He's smart and such a pretty cat - and one who would be a nice addition to a house by himself or one with other pets.
We have a few rules you should know about to adopt: Tom must always be an indoor kitty, so he never gets lost or hurt. You can't have anyone who smokes inside with Tom - it's bad for him and honestly? It's bad for you, too! And finally, no declawing - ever. We have declawed kitties, and if you don't like claws? Let us find you a cat that is already declawed. Tom doesn't claw furniture, and uses the cat tower's sisal posts to sharpen his claws.
To adopt Tom it's only $100 - please text me at 940.482.0025 to make an appointment to meet this special little guy!
Other Pets at Star Cats Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tom, a Arlington Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Arlington, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Arlington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Arlington already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Arlington breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Arlington paves the way for another one to be saved.

Who Will Bail Us Out?
Americans are already paying for the lack of fiscal restraint exercised by their own elected leaders, but the proposed bailout of Greece would have them paying for the financial foibles of another country's government as well. Since the proposed bailout would effectively be paying off Greek loans to German, Swiss, French and other European banks, American taxpayers are right to not only be concerned and confused, but outraged at how their money is being spent. Those taxpayers in North Carolina's second district are probably wondering why Bob Etheridge voted to send $75 billion to the IMF fund that is the source of the bailout.
The issues involved in multi-billion dollar European bailouts can be complicated, but Carrie Lukas, vice president for policy and economics at The Independent Women's Forum, has broken them down to the basics and also puts the numbers in context.
Lukas wrote, "…to help alleviate the debt crises of European countries, Americans may end up spending in the neighborhood of $60 billion. To put that in perspective, corporate income taxes are expected to raise about $157 billion this year. That means that more than one third of corporate tax receipts may be sent overseas to prop up nations who have allowed their governments' to rack up debt even more irresponsibly than ours has."
Lukas went on to say, "That $60 billion could be used to reduce corporate tax rates by a third, which would create jobs, make American companies more competitive, and grow the economy. But instead that money will be sent to countries that smugly lecture Americans about the superiority of their system of government and way of life."
If America continues on a course of irresponsible spending, and then extends it to bailing out the irresponsible spending of other governments, it is difficult to see how we avoid ending up in the same boat where Greece finds itself now. If we return the same politicians to Washington to continue the same failed policies, we will be even deeper in debt, with an even weaker economy than we have seen recently. When that happens, who will bail us out?
Renee Ellmers is the Republican candidate running to unseat incumbent Bob Etheridge in North Carolina's Second Congressional District. She is a nurse, a businesswoman, and a mom who is running for Congress because she is concerned about the direction her country is heading and wants to see her son have the same opportunities she had when she was growing up. You can find more information about her campaign at Renee for Congress.com.

October Race Calendar: Women's Only Events
October 6 2014
Who runs the world? Girls, of course, and they also run to the finish line at these races.
One secret to maintaining your training during the stifling heat of the summer months is to register for a race. By committing to a goal, you're more likely to put in the work to prepare for the start line. Kick motivation up another notch by choosing a destination race. The excitement of taking a mini-vacay can fuel grueling runs leading up to race day. Women's Running contributor @KaraDeschenes took the summer challenge by setting her sights on the SeaWheeze half marathon, scheduled for the upcoming weekend. Check out Kara's tips to gear up for a destination race:

Mornin' All!! :wave:
30-Somethings - 30 Something's Weekend Chat: 6/21-6/22View Full Version : 30 Something's Weekend Chat: 6/21-6/22 LBH 06-21-2008, 09:21 AM Mornin' All!! :wave: Christina S 06-21-2008, 12:38 PM must be a busy saturday for everyone...im waiting for little mario to finish in the shower than we are off to start getting ready for our party/open house today...should be fun...its gonna be hot here! hey lauren!...hope everyone has a wonderful weekend mamatoni 06-21-2008, 01:14 PM Mornin' everyone! Happy Solstice!! Those of you who live where it makes a difference enjoy the sunshine. :sunny: It is a big deal up here in Alaska, right now it never actually gets dark and people seem fueled by the sun, most people I know don't get as much sleep in the summer. You can be up mowing the lawn, look at your watch and be like "oh, crap, it's already 11:30 pm!". It is easy to get caught up in things and not notice how late it's getting. We start losing sunlight tomorrow:(, so basically that means we are on our way to winter :( I can't think of a better reason for a party, enjoy summer while it's here! I'm taking the kids to the Downtown Solstice Fair today, then Anniversary dinner for DH and I :hun: Christina, it sure is a busy weekend for us, good luck at your open house, hope all goes well and you have a great time. LBH 06-21-2008, 01:22 PM Toni, that's soo neat! Have fun at the party! Here's where my ignorance comes out...does it really stay sunny around the clock?? Or does it get like, "dusk" overnight? What about winter, is it dark around the clock?? Yes, I grew up in a closet. :lol3: mamatoni 06-21-2008, 01:47 PM A little more (okay a lot:) I think it's kind of interesting) on sunlight in northern areas. The solstices and equinoxes are always a big deal since they mark changes in the levels of sunlight. It changes fastest around the equinox, we lose or gain around 7 minutes a day around that time of the year, that means that the sun would set (or rise) an hour later from one week to the next. :dizzy: I live in Fairbanks, it is different depending on where you live. If you live above the arctic circle the sun doesn't set at all on summer solstice and doesn't come up at all on winter solstice. The sun doesn't rise and set in the same place all year round, right now in Fairbanks it comes up in the northeast and sets in the northwest. It kind of circles around the sky during the day, never being directly overhead. At "night" it dips below the horizon so it gets kinda "dusky" around then (today sunrise was 2:58am and sunset will be 12:48 am). The sad part is that the daylight is the exact opposite in winter and our only sunlight comes from when the sun barely crests the southern horizon for a few hours in the afternoon. Unfortunately I work the entire time the sun is up in the winter. :( Next year I am super-excited because my classroom will have a window!! :carrot: mcmommy2 06-21-2008, 01:51 PM hey gals...i love the sun facts! i just popped on to say hi...ww goin good...son wanting all my attn. lois lane 06-21-2008, 03:05 PM Hey everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Toni, I can't imagine trying to convince my kids to go to school in the dark. I forget if you've lived there all your life? Christina, sounds like a fun day, where is the party? Is it at your house? Erin, how did the little one do on his trip away from home? I know you're glad to have him back. Hey Lauren and everyone else! Not alot going on here today. Check back later! Alicia KAR73 06-21-2008, 05:18 PM Hi everyone, Had a crappy start to the weekend. DH got mad at me and preceded to yell at me. So I have been giving him the cold shoulder all day. Says that he is sorry and that I should just get over it like he did. But this chickie is finding it harder and harder to let things go where he is concerned when we have a fight. It all stemmed from me telling one of our friend's the truth and he thought I should have sugar coated it for her. Sorry we are all responsible adults lets get real. So this evening when the kids go to his mom's, I think that I will stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet. Maybe I will read a little bit or watch tv. But I don't think that I will be going and doing anything with him. Plus I didn't feel good this morning, I had the runs from drinking a half a glass of beermargiritia's at our friend's house. He told me that he didn't care if I was sick, I had to go help him clean at the pool this morning. So I went but I took my good old time. So I am hoping that he feels bad and lets me stay home tomorrow. I guess we have a cook out to go to tomorrow at his sister's house. So that should be fun. Enough rambling on for me. Patricia and Pam hope you are having fun on your trips! Lisa that is great about having to go and try on new clothes! I might have to go and get some new shorts soon if my weight and body measurements keep changing. My shorts feel at times like they are going to fall off my hips. Hope work is going well for you! How do you like being a manager of a department? Erin so are you glad that your little boy is back home. I bet you can sleep so much better having him home. Toni, enjoy your day today. That is so cool about the sunlight. The festival sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Happy Anniversary! Enjoy your dinner with your dh. I agree with you about school all year long. I need my break. Trish good to see you. Sounds like you have been very busy with your kids and their activities on top of yours too. Hi to Alicia, Hanna, Diane, Lauren, Christina and Karen. Hope that you are having a great weekend! Off to read a little bit. Then I will think about what my evening plans will be. Chat with you all later. Take care, Kerry P.S. If anyone wants to check out the reading program I am doing, you can check out the book lists at www.kanawha.lib.wv.us Look under Britton Reading Club. LBH 06-21-2008, 08:13 PM Toni, Thanks for the lesson, very interesting! Kerry, I'm on DH's sh*tlist right now too. Went and got a pedicure with a couple girlfriends today and lost track of time at the coffee shop. Was gone from 3-6:45. Gotta run, DH just walked in. lois lane 06-21-2008, 11:45 PM Evening! Kerry, where does your DH take care of a pool? Is it his own business or does he work for a company? Lauren, that doesn't sound like a long time. I am planning on a pedicure next weekend, they are wonderful! Today we had dinner at Logans. We shared a meal...so hopefully, not to much damage was done. Logans is so good and the service is always excellent. Then I did some window shopping, picked up DD from her freinds house and headed to Walmart. Walmart is starting to put the outdoor stuff on clearance. I am thinking of getting a little Bistro to put in my kitchen. Hope all are well.... Alicia KAR73 06-21-2008, 11:55 PM Evening All, I have had a nice quiet evening to myself. I straightened up the house some, read some of Once Around the Track by Sharyn McCrumb and just got out of the shower. So I am looking forward to curling up in bed, watching a little tv and reading some more soon. Alicia, my dh is the maintance person over at the city pool for the summer. Sounds like you had a nice day. Way to go on sharing your dinner. That way you don't over eat on the huge portions that the restuarants are serving these days. Lauren, don't you think it is funny, that they can go out and come back when they feel like it. But we are not to be gone for long with our friends. 3 1/2 hours isn't that long of a time. My dh has tried to make up with me several times today and I keep giving him the cold shoulder. I am hoping that he finally sees that he was a big butt head over the whole deal with our friend. Did you enjoy your time this afternoon with your girlfriends? Hi to everyone else. I am off to curl up in bed and relax a little bit before going to sleep. Have a nice evening! Later, Kerry mamatoni 06-22-2008, 02:20 AM good evening ladies, had a good day...super exhausting, but fun. Ready for a little restful one tomorrow. BUT, I have to share that I am really excited, we started potty-training DD 4 days ago, just put her in undies, started talking about it, etc. and today she peed on request for the first time, TWICE! :carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::c arrot::carrot::carrot::carrot: My level of excitement can be seen by the 17 million dancing carrots above. :D I would LOVE to be done with diapers! She is a little young (a year and a half next month), but it is so much easier to potty train in the summer we decided to give it a shot. Alicia, I have lived in Alaska since I was 6 yo. from Minnesota. I left for college (went to school in Iowa), then came back to teach, met DH, got married, had kids...that's my life story in a nutshell. :D Kerry, Sounds like you had a good night, a little me-time is always nice. I totally agree about DH's time gone is TOTALLY different than the amount of time I can be gone. I keep hoping it gets better as the kids get older. They are pretty clingy for mama right now. Lauren, I love pedicures!, the good ones are so relaxing, and coffee afterwards, sounds like a lot of fun. :) bigmac 06-22-2008, 04:00 AM What ever happened to live chats? I'm home alone most nights while my boyfriend works and my kids are asleep. I'm lonely and want to eat cookies all night long because of it. But that just makes me more miserable. I haven't been in a chat room type atmosphere since I was miserably married. Then was on IM with potential dates after my divorce. Now I'd like to chat with people on this site so I can get support in taking care of myself. Isn't there anything live? LBH 06-22-2008, 12:00 PM Hi All, :wave: Bigmac, :welcome: We used to have a chat on the site, but I don't think it got a lot of action. I would definitely encourage you to come here when you think you've got nothing better to do and are about to eat something bad instead! :lol: If nothing else, there's lots of good reading and motivation that will keep you out of the goodies! Go check out the goal forum! LBH 06-22-2008, 12:09 PM Toni, I put the potty seat out when DS1 was about 1.5 y/o, just so he'd get used to looking at it, sitting on it, etc. I don't think he actually pee'd on it until he was 2, but he was trained by 2.5, except at night (he's still wet in the AM and he's 5!) DS2 (3 y/o), on the other hand, hates the potty seat, will go on the regular toilet, but is hit & miss. Sometimes goes willingly, sometimes you drag him kicking & screaming, but he goes and is then happy. He just doesn't tell me he has to go. :rolleyes: Kerry, You know, part of the problem is that he almost never goes out. I try to encourage him to go out with some guys from work, or whatever, but he just doesn't. I don't go out often either, but I always feel guilty when I do ask if he minds. Also, he didn't know how long I'd be gone. I didn't think we were going for coffee afterwards...I really wasn't thinking. :lol: I figured I'd be home by 4:30-5ish. Anyway, home from church, the boys are in the basement watching some "superhero playdate thing" on Noggin and the darn dog is laying on my sofa all comfy-cozy. Have a great day all! KAR73 06-22-2008, 01:25 PM Good Afternoon Ladies, Welcome BigMac! You will find this a great site to come to and vent and get inspired. I have made some great on-line buddies here. I think of them when I go to do something bad like eat something I shouldn't. Then I think of how I will feel when I have to tell them what I did. This forum helps alot with keeping me accountable for my actions. So I hope that you will find some wonderful friends here and the support you need! Once again, welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you. Lauren, hope you have a nice day! Are you off your dh's sh**list? My dh has been very nice so far today. He came home mad at his friend's last night and didn't take it out on me for a change. He also made me a promise that he would not lie for people anymore. Because he got caught in a huge lie between two of our friends. So I think he learned his lesson yesterday. We will have to see how long it last. Toni, congrats on your little one going to the potty by herself! Isn't it amazing the little things we cheer about and make a big deal about in life! I know when my one sds stopped wetting the bed in 1st grade was a big deal at our house. Sounds like you desevre a day of relaxtion today. How was your anniversary dinner last night? Hi to everyone else. I hope that you are having a wonderful Sunday. I need to go and get a workout in, my shower and then go out to my sil's for a cookout. I had a some victory this morning. My dh and I went to McDonald's for breakfast. I actually ordered healthy for a change. I got the fruit parfit, apple dippers and a white milk for my breakfast. I was very proud of myself. Usually I get the bagel meal. But it just doesn't appeal to me anymore. So yay for me!!! My goal might just be met by my birthday in May of 2009 to be at my goal weight or pretty close to it. Chat with you all later. Have a wonderful afternoon! Take care, Kerry mcmommy2 06-22-2008, 02:01 PM HI all...just got back from church...am having a BBQ here today so i can control the food...My son loves noggin...I let him have a few shows a day...sometimes more depending on my need for the alone time ...Alicia/Kerry- thanks for asking..I love having him home. He did very well and enjoyed his time on the farm. My son is turning 3 in July and still isn't potty trained... iam going to try this summer with the daycare provider since we are splitting most of the time...He's smart enough to say I don't want to use that potty but not smart enough to get on it! We just keep trying...I think the kicking/screaming on a regular schedule may work...well take care all and enjoy the rest of this weekend. mamatoni 06-22-2008, 03:11 PM Good morning everyone and Welcome BigMac!! DD won't pee on the potty yet, we got her to pee outside on the rocks. :lol: We started potty-training DS when he turned 2 in July, basically went cold turkey to the underwear with lots of naked time. He also hated the potty, when he had to go he would say "pee off deck" and that is what he did until it got to cold. When it was below freezing he was suddenly more interested in using the toilet. :lol: Anniversary dinner was great, we got reservations at a restaurant on the river and ate out on the deck, GREAT food. I ate way too much...oh well. Will make up for it today. Erin, farms are great for kids! What kind of farm was your DS visiting? gotta go get ready for the day, check back in later. lois lane 06-22-2008, 03:39 PM Morning Ladies, Kerry, good for you. You can eat reasonably healthy anywhere I guess, if you choose wisely. Easier said than done for me. Erin, enjoy your BBQ today! Toni, I missed that it was your anniversary, so Happy Anniversary, eating outside is nice as long as the bugs aren't biting! As far as potty training, I can remember my kids easily going no1, not so easily no 2. I'm just relaxing today, still in my nighties. My days off seem to go by so fast. Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday. Talk later, Alicia lois lane 06-22-2008, 04:20 PM Hey Lauren, just wondering...I saw there were 2 new moderators on the 30 somethings. I've never seen them around before though. mamatoni 06-22-2008, 06:58 PM Alicia, my kids are the same way, DS pooped in is undies for like...5 months! Man, was I glad when that was over! Kerry, congrats on healthy choices! It feels so good afterwards. :) I've got dinner at my mom's tonight, I hope that I too can make healthy choices. It has been a challenge for me lately. Feels sort of like I am trailing after the wagon, not quite back on yet. KAR73 06-22-2008, 07:19 PM Evening everyone, Just got back from a cook out at my sil and bil's. It was nice. I only had one plate of food. So I am hoping that I didn't over do it. I had a hamburger, some coleslaw, pasta salad, potato salad and baked beans. Then I brought my own tea to drink. Then I had a small piece of homemade apple pie. I did do a good sweaty 30 minute workout before we went over though. So today has been a great day! Just going to relax the rest of the evening hopefully. Toni sounds like you had a nice dinner then last night. Hey I think it is okay to overeat every once in awhile for special occassions. Knowing you you will do fine and be back to eating healthier in no time flat. Enjoy your dinner at your mom's tonight. Alicia, there is nothing wrong with just hanging out in your pj's for the day. I never got a shower yesterday until about 10 p.m. Then I sat down in the armchair and was reading for a little bit. The next thing I know I am waking up and it was after 11:30. Enjoy your day off! Erin, how was your BBQ? I hope you had fun! Glad he enjoyed himself on the farm. What kind of farm was it? Hi to everyone else. Have a great evening! I think I might go lay down for a little bit. Family get together's sure can wear a person out. Take care, Kerry GatorgalstuckinGA 06-22-2008, 09:01 PM evening all...i just got back from savannah. It was a fun trip and saw a bunch of our friends. Definately a weekend of gluttony. Therefore, I've made a pact with myself to get back into it and get back on track!!!!! i have less than 8 wks until Tuscany...and i want to loose weight before then. hope everyone is well. Haven't had a chance to read all from the weekend but hope everyone is well. P(: mcmommy2 06-22-2008, 09:05 PM Okay, well the BBQ was good...I was good. I made good portion control choices...however, that being said it was crazy! We have another couple that lives in our neighborhood that we do things with and they have a daughter about to turn 2...she and Nate CANNOT get along! No sharing, no nice words, no nothing! All the screaming and nos just got to me and I ate the rest of my son's mac and cheese...I know, so bad. but all are finally in bed and I think we can get back to normal.... For those who asked, my son went to my grandparents (his greats) farm...since my pap passed there isn't too much left but my uncle does what he can...mostly Texas Longhorns/beef cattle, some horses and lots of chickens. Basically Nate just loves to go b/c it is more room to run...we live in a townhome in a DC suburb and it isn't quite the same as his gram and paps huge yard in PA. It sounds like you all made some awesome food choices this weekend...that is the hurdle, just making that lifestyle change and making the better choices... thanks to WW I just found out about those Vitamuffin things...so yummy...the chocolate ones... So, I know I have only been at this for a few weeks but I just wanted to tell you all how much I enjoy coming on here and chatting with you...I actually look forward to it and love the support...not just in weight but in other things as well. So, take care and I will chat more tomorrow...Erin KAR73 06-22-2008, 10:17 PM Patricia glad that your dh and you had a nice weekend. It is always fun to get away for a few days. Especially when you get to see friends and catch up with them. Every once in awhile you need to stray from eating healthy and enjoy yourself. Knowing you, you didn't stray far from the bandwagon. You will pick yourself up and go full steam ahead. You will be looking like a hottie when you go to Tuscany! Enjoy your evening and get some rest for work tomorrow! Erin, glad you had a nice time at your bbq. Way to go on your eating! Sorry your nerves got shot with your son and the little girl not getting along. I hope you have a nice quiet relaxing evening! Glad you enjoy the support and friendship you get here. I know that when I was gone for a few months, I missed the support and friendship. So I am glad that you are here! So does anyone have big plans for the coming week? I plan on going to a couple area businesses and filling out applications for a part-time job. Plus continuing to watch what I eat and workout. We have a contest going on right now with my TOPS chapter. I have never won a contest in the 4 years that I have been a member and would like to win this one. Now everyone else in my club has though. Well I need to go and let my sds on the computer. Chat with you all later. Have a great evening! Take care, Kerry vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Historical Traveler Reviews Terra Andina Hotel Cusco
Feel ripped off
We overpaid for this hotel given it was off peak season (Dec - Feb). On arriving at the airport this hotel was being advertised for 35% off and only 50 bucks a night - this would be more in line with what should be paid for this hotel. It is a few blocks from all the action in the mainsquare and not a very nice walk late at night. The staff are friendly but pretty useless. The standard roome are comfortable but overlook the courtyard where breckfast is served from 5am. The surperior rooms are nice however the hotel is reluctant to provide any upgrades even if it is half empty!
If you dont ask for toast with your eggs in the morn you wont get it and dont request reception to make any calls for you (including to confirm your flights) as they will charge far to much for doing so (like 5 dollars a call).
Hotel was fine - I just paid too much for it. If going to Cuzco at this time again I would just play it by ear and not book ahead.
I am the owner of the Terra Andina Hotel and I am sincerely sorry that your stay at the Hotel did not meet your satisfaction.
Please allow me to reply to your comments:
1. The off peak season in Cusco does not longer exist. The hotels have the same rate from Jan to Dec. We are fully booked for the next 10 days and with a high occupancy rate till the end of February. You are wrongly advising Trip Advisor's readers by suggestion they could arrive in Cusco with out reservations and play it by ear. Many of them may end up staying in a $25 youth hostel with shared bathroom down the hallway.
2. Our airport add for 35% OFF is only available for same day reservations. We have received many calls from travelers from the airport to request this rate for same day bookings and they have been rejected due to lack of availability. Some of them even showed up at the hotel and we had to look for other means of accommodation for them, some place else.
3. You think that our room is worth $50, our hotel is a Colonial Mansion right in Cusco Historic District, four blocks from the Main Square or Plaza de Armas, half block from San Pedro Square or Plaza San Pedro and we include American buffet breakfast. I have traveled all over the world, visited the five continents and I have never seen a hotel with these characteristics that was worth $50. None of them were under $140
4. I have also read your review of the Ayres de Recoleta Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina and you say: "We think we paid too much for these apartments given it is Buenos Aires (80 dollar a night)". I have visited this hotel, it is in the fashionable area of La Recoleta and $80 is more than a fair price
5. You say "The staff are friendly but pretty useless". But you do not explain why you qualify them as useless. My wife and I read every single "Hotel Evaluation Form" that guests leave us at check out, and our conclusion is that the most important asset that we have is how accommodating our staff is.
6. You say "The hotel is reluctant to provide any upgrades even if it is half empty!" Do you want the hotel to give you a free room upgrade? Is this what hotels should do? Provide guests with free room upgrades, just for the asking......
7. You say: "If you don't ask for toast with your eggs in the morn you wont get it" Is this your complaint? What if the guest does not want a toast with their eggs? The staff serves the eggs and sausages or pancakes, the other 22 items are self served.
8. like three types of sliced fresh fruit, three types of fresh juice fruit, three types of bread, three types of cereal, three types of yogurt, cheese, jam, butter, tea, coffee, herbal tea and milk are self served.
9. The phone calls do not cost $5 per call. It is clearly stated at the front desk that the local phone calls cost 25 cents per minute.

Absolutely Beautiful
I stayed at the Terra Andina Hotel for close to two weeks. Being as how this was my first trip to Peru, I, just as many people had a lot of questions about the surrounding area. All of the people working at the hotel went well out of their way to explain customs, and traditions to me so that I would feel at home. They even went so far as to recomend places of interest for me to see. The hotel is located very close to the main plaza, which is full of interesting and culturally magnificent places.
The rooms of the hotel are extremly comfortable, and very well managed. The beds in the rooms are very comfortable, and the linens are of the finest quality. The bathrooms in the rooms have been beautifuly redecorated in a very modern sense. It was nice waking up every morning to a welcoming wake up call thanks to the front desk.
The food served in the hotel is nothing short of a five star restaurant. Of the meals that I had eaten there, each and every one was perfectly prepared just for me. The chefs and the service was absoutly amazing, from the smallest request to the largest, the service was very prompt and precise in a orderly manor.
Overall my stay at the Terra Andina Hotel was absoutly wonderful. I would recomend to anyone who will be traveling to the Cusco region of Peru to stay a few nights at the Terra Andina Hotel and you will be guaranteed a wonderful trip.

Hotel agréable
Plut�t bien situ�, en tout cas � 4 minutes � pied de la gare pour Machu Pichu, et 1/4 d'h de la place des Armes..
Parfaitement calme, pour ce qui est de la chambre que nous avions (vue sur les toits et certains monuments). C'�tait au 3e �tage. Il est vrai que nous avons aper�u en passant des chambres donnant sur le patio int�rieur et, semble-t-il, sans fen�tre. A pr�ciser � la r�servation.
Accueil serviable.
Point faible, par comparaison avec d'autres h�tels comme les Casa Andina par ailleurs moins bien, le petit d�jeuner: des jus de fruits frais, des fruit aussi, mais choix tr�s limit� pour le reste, pas de grille pain, pas de pain p�rouvien, une seule confiture, m�diocre, pas de yaourt nature. Pas tr�s grave, certes, mais pourrait �tre am�lior�.
High quality hotel with excellent service
I stayed at this hotel for four nights at the end of November and it was really excellent.
The staff were very helpful and my room was clean and spacious, I really appreciated this after an extremely long journey to Cusco.
Breakfast is served from 05.00 which is ideal before catching the
train to Machu Picchu, and the station is nearby.
I ate several meals in the Restaurant and they were of good quality
The street where the hotel is situated is opposite an interesting part of Cusco and it is an easy walk to the town centre.

Nice place to stay
My wife and I recently stayed 3 nights at the Terra Andina while visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu. The room we got the first night was not bad but had two single beds and no towels in bathroom. We asked for a better room upon our return from Machu Picchu. The management was very friendly and cooperative and sure enough, we had a great room for the last two nights of our stay. The room was large with a king-size bed. It was located off the street so it was very quiet. The staff was very helpful and quickly attended to any needs we had. The breakfast was good and the had a constant supply of coca tea. The first 30 minutes on the internet was free - a plus when you are checking your Fantasy Football team results. The hotel is located on a narrow street about a 15-minute walk to the Plaza de Armas. The on which the hotel is located is a little dark but you quickly get to the main street into the center of town where it is well lit with a lot of people. Generally felt quite safe walking around during the day and night. There are closer places to stay but this hotel was quite good.
I want to thank you taking the time to write your review for Trip Advisor Website.
I do not have an explanation for the lack of towels on your room; it was probably an oversight from the housekeeping department. We do provide every day two bath towels and two hand towels per double room; please accept my apologies for this oversight.
In regards to the lighting on the street I am most happy to tell you that the town Mayor has lighted up all the street (Calle Union).

Excellent Stay at Terra Andina
The Terra Andina is a Colonial Mansion in the Historic District of Cusco. Wonderful staff, extremely helpful and attentive. Quiet location so easy to sleep at night, centrally located as well. Large, clean rooms. Hotel has a great bar and serves breakfast (comp) lunch and dinner. I ate in the hotel 2 nights and food excellent, good variety.
Hotel location easy to walk to city center and cathedral, good shopping minutes away.
Fantastic stay.
I want to thank you for taking the time to write your review for Trip Advisor Website.
Thanks to your comments we will be placing non-smoking signs at the lounge tables, we will assign a smoking area at the "Speak Easy Corner" bar
The Owner
A pleasant stay.
We had a nice stay here at the hotel about a year ago. The staff was really welcoming and helpful, and speaking a few words of Spanish will help you get your point across.
They served mate tea immediately upon our arrival, and it tasted great. I would recommend you drink at least 2 cups of it - it helps with the impending altitude sickness.
The room was very comfortable, clean and nice, and we had our own space heater so we could control the room temperature. The one problem we had was that when we were trying to get over the altitude sickness, the hotel was doing a bit of construction and the jackhammer could be heard throughout the building. This was a year ago, so I don't think anyone else will encounter the same problem (I hope!)
Overall, a great pitstop on your way to Machu Picchu.
If you need a hotel in Cusco, Peru
Iwas thourghly impressed with the Manager and staff personell at the Terra Andina
Everyone was pleasant and catered well to our needs
There was always smiles while preforming requested task even with my inability to communicate in Espanol
I highly recommend the Terra Andina and if there is ever an opportunity for me tomake a return trip to Cusco I hope they have an open reservation, but with the quality of service that may be a problem
Best ever in cusco
I have visited Cusco at least eight times over the last 26 years. I am obviously fascinated with Cusco and Machu Pichu. I have stayed in several different hotels during my visits and I must state unequivocally that Terra Andina Hotel had by far the best accommodations I have have ever had in Peru. I have traveled a fare amount in my life and have stayed in the best 5 star hotels as far away as china. I am not sure of the rating of Terra Andina I would give it a 5. The rooms were immaculate with all of the amenities one would ever need. The decor was fascinating, inviting and a catalyst to transcend cultures. Most of all I was always treated with courtesy and respect and constantly greeted with a smile. I really feel I lack the literary skills to fully describe my extremely pleasant experience at Terra Andina Hotel. I will never stay at any other Hotel when visiting Cusco.
Cute place /great staff
The staff were great Very helpful .Close to the rail road station Near a great market
Clean, Comfortable, and Safe And All this for a good price.

Many cities are home to ethnically diverse people. Toronto, London, New York, Hong Kong—which city will you show in your Multicultural Mobile?
Some cities and nations have a long tradition of being home to people from many different countries. The United Nations named Toronto, Canada, as the most ethnically diverse city in the world. Two thirds of its 4 million residents were born elsewhere. Think about the benefits this global diversity brings to a city!
Invite students to find out about the ethnic diversity in their neighborhood, state, province—or any area in the world. Choose a symbol for the area. Here's one way to represent ethnic diversity in a mobile.
To show Toronto's population mix, the red maple leaf of Canada's flag works well as the center of the mobile. Students choose a symbol for their selected city. With Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils, draw the symbol's outline on thin cardboard. Cut it out with Crayola Scissors. Trace the shape on more cardboard and cut it out to make two identical shapes. Make a cut down the middle of one shape from the bottom to the middle. Cut the other from the top to the middle.
Students cover their work area with recycled newspaper. Paint one side of the mobile's central symbol with Crayola Washable Tempera Paint. Air-dry the symbols flat. Paint the other side. Air-dry them flat.
Cross the two shapes and slide them together at the cuts to create a 3-D symbol.
Students research the different ethnic groups living in the area under study. Encourage them to locate pictures that show the design and colors of each nation's flag. Cut out cardboard or recycled file folder rectangles, one for each culture represented in the mobile. Color the nation's flag on one side with Crayola Gel Markers. On the other side of the flag, label the country and summarize other information found.
Punch holes at balanced places on the center symbol. Use string to tie on flags. An adult can poke a paper clip through the top of the center symbol to make a hook. Hang mobiles in the classroom. Students should be prepared to discuss their selection of photographs and how they are connected to their city's diversity.

reviews & comments (8)
I have to agree with the negative reviews: Coffee in Dolmas??! Great recipes for stuffed grape leaves appear in Joyce Goldstein's "Meditteranean : The Beautiful Cookbook", Clifford A. Wrightt's "A Mediterranean Feast" and in Mollie Katzen's "Mooswood Cookbook". The latter is the most simple of them all.
I have to agree with the previous review for it is a shame that all these lebanese recipes you give have been given by non lebanese cooks. Please try to be more efficient and take it from the horse's mouth. Our cuisine is one of the most delicious and healthiest in the world, and we are more than happy to share it . And again please try to get some lebanese cook books and I guarantee your satisfaction with our colorful recipes.
I looked for zero on the scale as this one deserves just that. This is stuffed vine leaves???? where in heavens name did you get this recipe from. Mediterranean cuisine is mostly tart and not sweet hence the raisins. Traditionally and at best, the filling is mainly chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, olive oil, salt, lemon juice and of course rice and nothing more. For those of you who know tabboule and I mean the Lebanese version, not all those other versions that are loaded with burghol, it is basically the same filling while omitting the burghol and replacing it with short grain rice. It also should be cooked over low heat and best served cold the following day.
I'm still trying to find a great "dolmades" recipe. coffee and raisins ain't going to cut it! So far, my simple recipe wins by far, way far. I don't know who comes up with these recipes, but it's far from putting it under the "Greek" menu. It doesn't even come close.
I skipped the coffee grounds and added pine nuts. I also drained the yogurt (strainer with cheese cloth) and added garlic and paprika and skim milk. All in all a very successful dish.

Are These People Reshaping the Gaming Industry?
Re:CCP? (127 comments)
Your first paragraph is the only one with any relevance to a discussion of UI - and since the only thing you say in it is "Moving it around doesn't make it great" and then continue with your broad, general strokes, I'll counter with:
No, that's one of the dozen things about the UI that work quite well.
The rest of your rant - and by the way, offline modules and overheating modules both have a rather pronounced effect, if you have any savvy in using them - has little do with a discussion of the UI. If you want to rant about net code, that's a whole different topic.
No, the UI is not "pretty." "Pretty" also doesn't equate to good. I can change the nature of information delivery, the amount of it, the location of it, the style of it, and how I manipulate, react to, and organize that information with a few simple clicks. I can custom-design a dozen information filters and pull them all up in two clicks. I'm not interested in a "pretty" UI - I'm interested in a functional one. If I wanted a pretty UI that didn't do anything useful, I've got plenty of other choices. The EVE UI is designed to give out information, and it does that very well.

Students for the Seven Period Day
We, the undersigned students of the SMUHSD feel that the seven period day is necessary to ensure not only the quality of education within the district, but the quality of the high school experience. The seven period day allows for us as students to achieve academic growth in the form of additional courses and personal growth through the varied visual and performing arts. Without the seven period day, such pursuits would become significantly harder, not only because of scheduling difficulties, but the ever changing face of graduation and college admission requirements. We as students believe that the seven period day is contingent to ensure the standard of excellence that we have so far enjoyed.
