Leopoldsberg and Kahlenberg summits : Michelin's recommendations
The Viennese Forest, the last part of the secondary range of the Alps ending above the Danube, is a fine backdrop to Vienna. There is an extensive view from the top of the Kahlenberg (483m) and from the Leopoldsberg (423m). On a fine day, you can see the Little Carpathians in Slovakia and the slopes falling away towards the Hungarian frontier. On the platform is a relief map of Vienna in 1683, giving visitors an idea of what the city looked like when besieged by the Turks.

What Can Zionism Teach Us On Election Day?
Today likely is going to be a rough day for liberals. Election prognosticators are predicting that Republicans will win enough Senate elections to re-take majority control of the Senate. This will give the Republican Party control of both houses of Congress for the first time since the Bush Administration.
This result will be painful to many liberals because it is based not on an ideological change in the electorate, as occurred in 1994, but on the success of Republican obstinacy and effective ineffectiveness over the past two years. This Congress is on pace to become the least effective Congress, in terms of bills passed, in U.S. history! The Republican Party has been transparent in its desire to block any Democratic domestic legislative proposals, even those that hold strong support nationally. As Senator Mitch McConnell, who is poised to become the new Majority Leader of the Senate, famously remarked in 2010, "the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." There is little effort to pass constructive, pro-active legislation. Instead, the Republican Party has been fixated on events of political theater such as the House of Representatives voting 54 times to repeal, defund, or otherwise thwart the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare").
It can feel dispiriting to see obstinacy and ineptitude rewarded with more power when there are so many critical issues in need of resolution. Competent governance, isolated from petty politics, would come up with a way to pass middle-of-the-road measures such as gun control laws requiring that anyone who purchases a gun first passes a background check; comprehensive immigration reform that includes a slow but transparent path to citizenship for the eleven million undocumented residents currently living in America; climate change legislation, whether via a cap and trade program or a carbon tax, to make a significant reduction in our carbon emissions; funding to update our crumbling infrastructure and our archaic electronic grid. These (and countless others) are issues that ought not be liberal or conservative issues. They are the type of progressive, moderate legislation that is necessary to keep our country safe and vibrant. And they are all pipe dreams in a Republican Congress.
So what is a despondent progressive to do today? I was thinking about this last night as I attended a lecture by the Israeli journalist Ari Shavit, author of the bestseller My Promised Land. Shavit was discussing the events of this past summer in Israel and what his vision is for Israel's future. One thing he said, in particular, struck me. Shavit declared that Zionism is all about being active. Zionism rejects apathy and passivity. It is based on the premise of making the impossible possible. It is about dreaming the dream and then grounding that dream in reality through blood, sweat, and tears. The miracle of Israel's creation, and its continued existence, is testament to what Zionism can achieve.
I do not mean to suggest that a midterm election is on the same par as the 2000 year struggle to reclaim the Jewish homeland. The political and theological impact of the creation of Israel is incomparable. But I do believe there are instructive lessons from Shavit's depiction of the modern Zionist struggle that those who are in political mourning would do well to learn. First and foremost, to those who are feeling despondent,don't give up. Don't feel defensive about the Affordable Care Act, income inequality, or the need for enhanced environmental regulation.Don't take this election as a repudiation of your values and aspirations. Continue to dream and hope. Come up with a vision for the society you want to create, and then go about the hard work of realizing this vision pragmatically and skillfully. After all, starting tomorrow, the battle for 2016 begins anew!

The Jewish Duty to Vote
Election Day in the U.S. is coming. How will being Jewish shape your choice whether to vote?
This November, Americans will elect a new 435-member House of Representatives, a third of the Senate, 36 governors and 6,057 lawmakers comprising 82% of all state legislators. Like paying taxes, serving on juries and registering for the draft, voting is a civic calling critical to any democracy. Unlike other civic callings, however, voting is optional. Whatever the stakes, no law compels Americans to vote. In some elections, only a minority of eligible voters cast ballots – challenging democracy's core ideal that "majority rules."
In the "land of the free," U.S. citizens have a right not to vote. Society advances by collective actions that democratically accountable governments make possible, but American law and society limit government's power against potential intrusions on personal liberty. A law like Australia's, which fines citizens who don't vote, probably wouldn't wash in the U.S.
While not compelled by civil law, Jewish Americans tend to vote in large numbers – and the political world knows it. In areas with strong Jewish presence, the "Jewish vote" is carefully tracked, highly prized and overtly courted. Groups like AIPAC and J-Street exist to influence Jewish votes and harness Jewish political power. So-called "Jewish issues" (often including Israel, Mideast policy and social programs) rise high on campaign platforms. In New York's 2014 gubernatorial primary, Gov. Andrew Cuomo campaigned with pictures of himself at the Western Wall, while challenger Zephyr Teachout ran Yiddish campaign ads.
Most pundits and political scientists attribute high Jewish voting rates to higher income, educational attainment and commitment to social justice. Now a new reason is emerging: Orthodox rabbinic mandates to vote for specified candidates. Examples abound: in 2012, 49 rabbis issued a proclamation mandating votes for a Senate candidate opposed to same-sex marriage. In 2013, some rabbis directed followers to support a mayoral candidate adverse to same-sex marriage. Socially conservative rabbis increasingly hold that halacha (Jewish law) mandates votes for what they call "Torah values" in government. This trend is so strong that the New York Times asks, "Are Liberal Jewish Voters a Thing of the Past?"
This narrative begs key questions: does Jewish law require Jewish citizens to vote? Can rabbis tell congregants whom to vote for? What issues should shape the "Jewish vote"?
These questions aren't new. After the 1948 founding of the modern State of Israel, some Israeli Jews asked if they should vote in elections for the new government. The Lubavitcher Rebbe answered (in Hebrew) that eligible voters must vote to install the most religious parties electable to office. The religious vote was so vital that rabbis told voters to sell their tefillin (ritual phylacteries) for money to reach the polls and cast ballots. At least one rabbi wouldn't receive congregants on election day until they voted. Apparently, to rabbis it was obvious that Jews must vote.
These rabbis' approach, however, is circular: it assumes rather than justify a duty to vote. It also fixates on the (ir)religious character of candidates and policies, not the act of voting. Worse, their approach is impossibly subjective and ripe for abuse. An rabbi opposing same-sex marriage (calling it "sacrilege"), and another opposing military intervention (calling it "murder"), each can wield rabbinic authority as a political bludgeon under the guise of "Torah values" on opposing ends of the electoral spectrum. As Joseph Soloveitchik (1908-1993) wrote, rabbis no longer can "be relied on to direct the people in ever-changing political issues: only a political system can [do that]." Thus, Soloveitchik held, Jews mustn't inject religious dogma into the "shared public square" they cohabit with others.
Were Soloveitchik a constitutional scholar, he might have used the phrase "separation of shul and state" in telling rabbis that they have no authority to mandate voting preferences. His point, however, is clear: rabbis must stay out of the voting booth. That said, I believe that Jewish citizens must vote as a matter of Jewish law. Here's why.
First, government is important. As in ancient days, we "pray for government's welfare, for without fear of it [we] would swallow each other alive" (M. Avot 3:2). The duty to create and support government is one of the few duties that Jewish law recognizes for all, Jew and non-Jew alike (B.T. Sanhedrin 56a). To Maimonides (1135-1204), the purpose is to ensure public order (Mishneh Torah, Melachim 9:14); to Nachmanides (1194-1270), the purpose extends to include all social welfare (comm. B.T. Avodah Zara 4a). Public safety, health, social equity, the rule of law – the very fabric of modern life in an interdependent world –today require wise, effective and democratically accountable government as never before.
Second, Jewish tradition views government as a human partnership with God. Where Torah predicts that Israelites would want civil rulers instead of priests and prophets, Moses told the people: "[B]e sure to place over yourselves the king that God elects for you" (Deut. 17:14-15). The canon records that God chose the first king, Saul (1 Sam. 9:16-17). The second king, David, was chosen by God but confirmed by "all of Israel's elders" (2 Sam. 5:3). The third king, his son Solomon, ruled in David's bloodline but "all the people" together ratified his accession (1 Kings 1:39). Given this democratic shift, Talmud opined that not even God could select rulers without consulting the people (B.T. Berachot 55a). By medieval days, when Jews elected tax collectors to remit Jewish taxes to Christian realms, Moses Isserles (1520-1572) held that all taxpayers were to assemble and vote "for the sake of heaven" (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 163:1). Declining to vote means ignoring Torah's notion of human partnership in the "heavenly" work of government. On the other hand, the Chatam Sofer (1762-1839) held that taxpayers who didn't vote faced no compulsion: their only penalty was to forfeit rights to shape election outcomes.
What the Chatam Sofer didn't seem to understand is the third and most important reason Jews must vote: Jews value collective action so highly that the public interest can compel individual behavior. The Chatam Sofer didn't understand the political notion of a social compact: by choosing to live somewhere as citizens, we bind ourselves to contract with that society. As Shlomo ben Meiri (1080-1174, "Rashbam") held, this social compact obliges Jews to honor the realm's civil laws in exchange for the realm's benefits and protection (comm. B.T. Bava Batra 54b). Jewish choice of residency also triggers a duty to help provide the benefits of society, lest anyone's non-participation cause what economists call free riding. (If anyone could take a public good without giving, then all would have the same incentive – and the public good itself could disappear.) For this reason, Jews must not only pay for public benefits they receive (B.T. Bava Batra 8a) but also directly help as needed to serve the public (B.T. Bava Metzia 108a).
While Talmud's day the main concerns for collective action were flood control, public transportation, civil defense and public health, in our day these concerns depend mainly on government. It is via government that Jews fulfill their civic duty to communities where they maintain residence and citizenship – not only by paying taxes, but also through public service and especially by voting.The implications are profound. Most pundits and rabbis describe the so-called "Jewish vote" in terms of Israel and Mideast policy, but the real "Jewish issue" is government's effectiveness to perform its public duties. Understood properly, government's whole agenda – public health and safety, social policy, criminal justice, environmental protection and more – is a "Jewish issue." All are necessary concerns of Jewish voters as Jewish voters. That is the Jewish commitment to our nation, tradition and values – whatever our personal politics and partisanship may be.
Judaism's wisdom tradition teaches that "You do not need to finish the work, but you are not free to desist from it" (M. Avot 2:16). Maybe no single election will fix the nation's fate, but every election is important – and Judaism's value of collective action mandates Jews to pitch in. If you're a citizen, you are not free to stay home on Election Day. You are not free to free-ride on the votes of others. Get to the polls. Vote.

Why I hope a Right-Winger Becomes the Next Chief Rabbi of Israel
There is a big election coming up on Wednesday, one many American Jews might not be aware of. In response to January's parliamentary elections, Israel will elect new Ashkenazi and Sephardi Chief Rabbis. While the election for Sephardi Chief Rabbi has important implications for the future power of Rav Ovadya Yosef, the highly influential and controversial former Chief Rabbi who has several sons running for the position, I am far more interested in the outcome of the election for the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi: I find myself in the unusual position of hoping that the "liberal" candidate, Rabbi David Stav, loses to his more right-wing rivals. Rabbi Stav hails from the National-Religious movement and is therefore "Modern Orthodox" by Israeli standards (he does, after all, wear a knitted kippah). He has been denounced as "wicked" by the Sephardic religious party Shas for trying to help people establish their Jewish identity and therefore get married. And he promises "real revolution" if elected. All this should sound good to a liberal Jew like myself, right?
The problem with a Stav election, however, is that it likely will mean the continued vitality of the Chief Rabbinate (or Rabbanut in Hebrew). The Rabbanut itself is a $5.6 million institution, created by the British in 1921, that has become a calcified, corrupt, politicized, and reactionary body. It prevents women from getting divorces from abusive husbands, prevents consenting adults from getting married, and vehemently opposes Jewish pluralism within Israel. As this op-ed in the Jerusalem Post recently put it:
What has been going on is nothing short of a disgrace. If there ever was a public institution which has become totally discredited in the eyes of the people it is meant to serve, it is surely the Israeli Chief Rabbinate. Many are rightly asking: if this the depth to which this institution has sunk, is it perhaps time to seek an alternative mechanism by which religion can be organized in the State of Israel?
Nor is Rabbi Stav himself committed to radically reforming the Rabbanut from within. His "revolution" consists primarily of making the Chief Rabbinate a more user-friendly service organization. Were Stav to lose, however, many insiders feel that a real revolution would occur, with non-religious and National Religious alike coming up with alternate, "privatized" rabbinic and religious functions in areas ranging from conversion and marriage to kashrut certification. Such changes are already underway through efforts such as the Beit Hillel Movement, which includes both men and women in its rabbinic organization. As this article in Ha'aretz suggests, a Stav loss makes it likely that "such trends will intensify and accelerate – and a de facto alternative to the Chief Rabbinate will arise. Not only the nonreligious, but also the national religious will reach the conclusion they have no place within the Rabbinate."
For secular Israelis, and for religious Israelis who support pluralism and a sense of klal Yisrael, this would be a wonderful turn of events.

Taking The Plunge
It was January 2007, almost exactly six years ago. I was sitting in my office, reviewing a dense corporate document retention proposal, when I realized it was time for a career change. I had questioned whether I wanted to remain a lawyer for several years. On the one hand, the law firms where I practiced treated us like indentured servants. We worked extremely long hours, were yelled at, and spent most of our time toiling away at menial tasks like reviewing boxes of emails or proofreading our bosses' work. On the other hand, the pay was great and the risk was low. All we had to do was sacrifice our time and our pride and we could do quite well. For years, the financial benefits of the job and the uncertainty about what else I might want to do held me in check. But by 2007, the drudgery of the work and the sense of how meaningless it felt became too much for me. I decided that the risk of switching careers—even to something as dramatic as becoming a rabbi—was worth it.
This dilemma of accepting an unpalatable status quo or taking a risk on an uncertain but potentially transformative new direction is basically what the Israelites confront in Parashat B'shalah. The Israelites have just fled from Egypt and have journeyed as far as the Sea of Reeds when God rouses Pharaoh to chase after them. God is looking for the big finish to the Exodus drama, a climactic battle in which God can once and for all establish supremacy for all to see (Exodus 14:4). The Israelites, however, are not amused. In fact, they are terrified. Whatever faith in God they might have developed from experiencing the ten plagues quickly evaporates in the face of charging chariots and alarming battle cries. They beg Moses to let them return to their former lives of slavery in Egypt. But Moses tells them to have faith, and God, through Moses, parts the waters of the sea so that the Israelites can pass through to the other side. We all know what happens next: the Israelites make it safely across the sea, and once they get to the other side, God causes the waters to crash down upon the Egyptians who are in hot pursuit, drowning them in the sea.
In a fascinating commentary, though, our Sages did not just assume that the Israelites had the courage to march into the parted sea. Even though this event, the crossing of the Sea of Reeds, would become a seminal moment in Jewish history which we recount twice a day in our liturgy (in the Mi Chamocha prayer), the Talmud (Tractate Sotah 36b-37a) depicts the Israelites as being hesitant to take the plunge:
Rabbi Yehudah said: When the Israelites stood by the Red Sea, the tribes strove with one another. This tribe said. "I'm not going into the sea first." And another tribe said, "I'm not going into the sea first." [Finally,] Nachshon the son of Amminadav jumped and descended into the sea first.
Rabbi Yehuda reflects how we often feel when facing a life-altering challenge. The fear of making change can often be paralyzing. Inertia is a powerful force, as is the psychological comfort of predictability, no matter how unpleasant the predictable may be. We can—and do—come up with a multitude of justifications for staying right where we are. We are conditioned, both culturally and biologically, not to go into the sea first. But Rabbi Yehuda's account also expresses the truth that it only takes one leap, one chance, one moment of action, and our whole world can change.
We each face these crossroads in life. For some, it might be whether to remain in a relationship that has gone stale or whether to endure the pain and anguish of ending the relationship with the hope of finding a better one. For others, like myself, it might be whether to remain in a job that lacks fulfillment but provides a steady paycheck, or to pursue a dream job that might not work out.
We even experience this crossroads at national levels. As the Israeli election on January 22 showed, Israel is almost perfectly split between center-left and right-ultra Orthodox parties (each bloc received approximately 60 out of the 120 seats in Israel's parliament). Israeli leaders, in picking a new government, will have to choose between retaining the status quo coalition of the past few years or forming a new coalition that embraces socioeconomic reform, equal treatment of Haredi and Hiloni Israelis, and an engaged peace process. Will a Nachshon ben Amminadav emerge to lead Israel into a new, dynamic, and possibly redemptive future, or will Israel's leadership remain entrenched on the shore, arguing among themselves and unwilling to take the first pivotal step forward?
Change is always hard. We yearn for stability, structure, and continuity in our lives. Yet the wisdom of our tradition is that God will support us if we are willing to take the plunge into uncertainty. The narrative of the Israelites standing at the Sea of Reeds offers us more than just an historical/mythical account of our people's origins. It empathizes with the difficulties we face, today, between taking risks on an unknown but potentially meaningful future versus remaining mired in an unpleasant, yet known, present. And it offers us hope if we are only bold enough to claim our own redemptive path.
After the Israelites realize their freedom from the Egyptians, they break out into raucous celebration. The people unite in a triumphant and jubilant song, known as Shirat ha-Yam, the Song of the Sea, which we recount each year during the Torah reading for Parashat Beshallah. May each of us be blessed with the courage to follow our own paths of meaning in life. And may our decisions enable us to sing with joy about the lives we create for ourselves and our people.

Overnight Nielsen Ratings: Fox' MLB Coverage Scores Again In Primetime
TNT led all weekend sports overnight Nielsen ratings with last night's Bulls-Heat NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game Three. NBC scored the top rating on broadcast TV with the Preakness Stakes, but the rating was down from '10. The net's two NHL Stanley Cup Playoff telecasts also saw year-over-year declines. Fox scored again with its MLB primetime coverage on Saturday night, earning a season-high 3.4 overnight rating. Fox' two primetime MLB windows have now averaged a 3.2 overnight rating, up 14% from the comparable dates last year. ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" did not see the same sort of success last night. The Cubs-Red Sox matchup earned a 1.9 overnight, down 30% from the comparable Yankees-Mets game last year. CBS saw gains for its coverage of the PGA Tour Crowne Plaza Invitational. The net earned a 2.1 overnight for Sunday's final round coverage, marking the event's best final round since '06 for David Toms' win. The rating is up 110% from a 1.0 overnight last year, when it aired during Memorial Day weekend. Saturday's PGA Tour coverage earned a 1.1 overnight, up from a 0.9. Listed below are overnight ratings from broadcast TV sports telecasts this past weekend.

In the 19th century coins were often used for engraving. They are called 'Love tokens' by collectors and there is even an eBay category for collectors of such items.
Ancient coins were sometimes modified in similar ways. They seem to be very rare, I've only found a few references to them. In the academic literature I found a short piece from Schweizer Muenzblatter vol 19 1969 p. 14, "Amulettarige Uberarbeitung eines spatromischen Follis" and a three page article in English by Brooks Emmons Levy, "Another Converted Roman Coin?" (Schweizer Munzblatter vol. 32 (1982), p. 40.
The first article features a Roman follis, the second a 30mm provincial from Antioch featuring Mên.
Ken Steiglitz illustrates a Ptolemaic coin with similar modifications on his web site. I also found a Bosporan coin with similar mutilation in an old CNG catalog. The coin pictured above comes from FORVM.
I would be interested in seeing pictures of similar coins, or speculation on the why this was done. It strikes me that the few examples I've found come from very different times and places, but have similar grooves. This could be because grooves are the easiest thing to cut, so everyone who mutilates a coin naturally does grooves.
FORVM attributed my coin as being from the Amphipolis mint. I don't know much about Alexander bronzes, does anyone know if this is correct? What is the diagnostic?

This was the 'Leap of Faith', one of 40+ activities to participate in over the weekend.
The Scouts had to climb a tree, walk along a branch, then 'leap' off into nothing and hit the ball that was out in front of them.
Full safety equipment was used and for those that want to know Risk Assessments were carried out.

New York-based Proxy Design Studio has given Gizmodo a first glimpse of its incredible, 3D-printed spherical gear called the Mechaneu, equal parts tactile toy and mechanical sculpture, a mind-bogglingly precise intermeshing of wheels within wheels. Proxy describes the project as just "the first in a series of kinetic, 3D-printed objects designed to explore the limits of 3D printing as an art form": Created in a one-shot fabrication process, Mechaneu #1 features an elaborate network of interlocking gears and support structures. Spin one gear and the entire sphere is catalyzed with the rotation. The effect is mesmerizing, a visualization for the eye and a tactile experience for the hands. The Mechaneu design explores the limit case of commercial 3D printing; all aspect of the design are calibrated to the minimum thicknesses and maximum detail levels. Their video explains it all in more detail (see video below) Looking for the same experience: Explore Mefferts Gearball at Fat Brain Toys Here!

Koblentz argues that the United States should work with other nuclear-armed states to manage threats to nuclear stability in the near term and establish processes for multilateral arms control efforts over the longer term.
The authors argue that it is essential to begin working now to expand and establish rules and norms governing armed drones, thereby creating standards of behavior that other countries will be more likely to follow.

Interview Difficulty
- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Aeria Games.
Interview DetailsAfter applying online, I was contacted by a HR manager in order to schedule a Skype interview with the direct manager I would depend on if offered the position.
The interview was really pleasant. First of all, my interviewer told me all about the company, which was really useful since Aeria Games Europe has gone over quite a huge change of direction in the past year. After that, he went over the job description and he asked me some of the typical questions (what do you currently do, etc)
Afterwards, we moved into the real point. His questions were focused on trying to catch me with my guard off, and to test my capacities to be in a management position, ie: "Imagine you are offered the job and you must get access to the project, and you don't have the password, what would you do?" or "You start working on this and you find out thousands of tasks to be done, how would you priorize them?"
Some of those questions were though, since my interviewer wasn't just satisfied with the first answer. He demanded different approaches and complicated the situation progressively. I really enjoyed those questions, even though I get stucked in some of them. I had to be creative, and I assume my answers revealed my character very much.
After those questions, he asked me if I had any doubt or question for him. I did have some, and he was willing to answer me sincerely, which I highly appreciated. After that, the interview finished. It took about 45-50 mins.
A couple of days later the HR manager got in touch with me again in order to let me know the result. The whole process took about 3 weeks.Interview Questions- Imagine you are offered the job and you must get access to the project, and you don't have the password.

NEW YORK (AP) — Nokia revealed its first smartphones to run the next version of Windows, a big step for a company that has bet its future on an alliance with Microsoft. Investors were disappointed, and Nokia's stock fell sharply on Wednesday.
Nokia Corp.'s new flagship phone is the Lumia 920, which runs Windows Phone 8. The lenses on its camera shift to compensate for shaky hands, resulting in sharper images in low light and smoother video capture, Nokia said. It can also be charged without being plugged in; the user just places it on a wireless charging pod.
Nokia also unveiled a cheaper, mid-range phone, the Lumia 820. It doesn't have the special camera lenses, but it sports exchangeable backs so you can switch colors.
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said the new phones will go on sale in the fourth quarter in "select markets." He didn't say what they would cost or which U.S. carriers would have them. AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA have been selling the earlier Lumia phones.
Investors seem to have expected more specifics, or an earlier launch. After the announcement, Nokia shares fell 45 cents, or 16 percent, to close Wednesday at $2.38 in New York. The stock is at its lowest levels since the 1990s.
Apple Inc. is expected to reveal the iPhone 5 at an event in San Francisco next week, which means the holiday quarter is going to be a tough one for competing smartphones.
Nokia, a Finnish company, revealed the new phones in New York. The American market is a trendsetter, but Nokia has been nearly absent from it in the past few years. One of Elop's goals is to recapture the attention of U.S. shoppers.
Facing stiff competition from Apple's iPhone and devices running on Google's Android software, Nokia has tried to stem the decline in smartphones in part through a partnership with Microsoft Corp. announced last year. It has moved away from the Symbian operating platform and has embraced Microsoft's Windows Phone software.
Nokia launched its first Windows phones late last year under the Lumia brand, as the first fruits of Elop's alliance with Microsoft. Those ran Windows Phone 7 software, which is effectively being orphaned in the new version. The older phones can't be upgraded, and they won't be able to run all applications written for Windows Phone 8.
Nokia sold 4 million Lumia phones in the second quarter, a far cry from the 26 million iPhones that Apple Inc. sold during those three months. So far, the line hasn't helped Nokia halt its sales decline: Its global market share shrunk from the peak of 40 percent in 2008 to 29 percent in 2011, and it is expected to dwindle further this year.

I can only guess at the hours you have spent on these models. They look beautiful. I (and many others) really appreciate the trouble you went through to post here. If you ever feel 2nd place to an inflatable bar again...just come here and get the recognition you deserve. This kind of work falls into a whole different kind of classification. Your work is more like fine art.
Beautiful......simply beautiful. |

i thank you, considering the angles.......... i put something together, and say, thats ok. then six weeks later i glance at it while practicing the piano, and jump up and say "its crooked!" and have to straighten it, or rebuild it. in other words, getting all the angles and shapes reasonably uniform and straight or balanced, was the hard part, especially when the plans are skimpy or building from pictures. and i must apologize to the knowledgable modelers for not knowing the names of the various parts of the ship, as all the model kits i built in the past were in italian.(: ... like some people, i had a passion for these ships, and these models were built out of passion.
i'm in awe of the workmanship and artistry that went into building the real ships during the past centuries, not to mention the seamanship.......i call myself the seasick shipbuilder. ...and i had to make them sail...i had to..........thanks again, vic |

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing at all.
Sometimes the best way to get someone's attention is to stop giving them yours.
If someone wants to be a part of your life, they'll make an effort to be in it.
There comes a point when it's not that you don't care anymore, you just can't.

Family Vacation

We had a lovely stay here in their 3 bedroom house that sleeps 10 comfortably. It is literally right next to pool and tennis courts which my kids loved. The house has a well equipped kitchen to make meals. There is a dollar general with a gas station 5 minutes down the road and a 20 minute drive to public beach. The only thing that we didn't like was right next to house is a small swamp area that should be filled in because it attracts so many mosquitos. Other than that the house is really nice.

Goodwinds- A Great Place To Stay
July 13, 2014
We recently planned a trip to Gulf Shores, AL. Since we have a 2 year old we decided to rent a house instead of a hotel room. We were a little nervousness because we have never gone this route before. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE! All emailed questions about the house were answered quickly. When we pulled up to the house we knew we had made the right decision for our family vacation. The house was great. The house pictures posted represented the house well. We packed extra but found that outside of the food, we really didn't need much. The house was clean, neat and well organized. There was plenty of space for a party of 5 adults, a teenager and a toddler to run around. All the appliances worked. There were tons of dishes, utensils, pots, pans, etc. There were even cake beaters to make a cake. There was a damaged chair in the kitchen and a few light bulbs that were blown. We called maintenance. They removed the chair and replaced the bulbs in good time. They beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The beach was directly across the street. There were even beach chair, umbrellas and toys for the kids located in the storage room that other guest left for renter use. There was plenty of places nearby to purchase food. Check in and check out was extremely easy. I would absolutely rent this location again The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because they never fixed the wobbly kitchen table (I called 2 times and told the maintenance man where he came to change the filters). We ate all of our breakfasts, lunches and a few dinners at the table. If someone bumped it everything shook. There were also ants that only came out if there was food present and tons of termites flying around the back door at night that always seemed to find a way in.

The weather was post card perfect and Gulf Shores beaches were beautiful! Loved having my morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the beach. P.S. There is a coffee pot, but you need to bring your own coffee.

Our stay at "The Beach Mouse" was wonderful in every respect. The house was large enough for our big group, laid out well, plenty of bathrooms and the best beach around. We had a great time and will be back.

The strange thing is that the ordered LCD has a diffrent touch chip called "CHIPONE ICN8305M" wich only supports 2-Finger multitouch at least on my device. Also the colours/contrast is worse.
When entering the hidden menu and looking for some touch settings it says "synaptics touch firmware" so I guess I can't run this "CHIPONE" on my device?
Is there actually an Optimus G model wich supports these touch screens or it is just a bad copy of LG's original part?
