HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.
FIRST TIME OWNERS When you bring a new puppy into your home, it's a time of great excitement for everyone involved: you, your kids, your neighbors, and even the dog. Here's our guide on what to expect and how to handle the transition without losing your mind.
HEALTHAlthough it's not a topic any of us really want to think about, responsible dog parenting requires that we give some thought to what would happen to our dogs if one day we didn't come home.
FIRST TIME OWNERS Congratulations! You've decided to bring a new little four-legger into your family's home. Now comes the big decision: should you get a dog or a cat? Here are a few things to consider as you make your decision.
HEALTHDog fighting used to be a sport meant to entertain police officers and firefighters, and was advertised in police gazettes. Now that numerous laws have been passed that make dog fighting illegal, the sport has simply gone underground.
DOG HEALTH Many new puppies are adopted throughout the year, especially around Holiday time. One responsibility most first time dog owners forget to take into account is the amount of veterinary care that is necessary in keeping your puppy happy and healthy! Learn the basics of finding a vet and getting puppy vaccinated.

text: Sydney experiences its hottest day on record: a blistering 45.8 degrees Celsius Living Living Money Science Food & Travel Asia Talia Ralph on Dec 31, 1969 @ 7:33 PM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 18: People dive into Dee Why rock pool to beat the heat on January 18, 2013 in Sydney, Australia. Sydney temperatures reached 45.8 celcius degrees today, breaking the previous record of 45.3 set in 1939. Sydney, Australia is experiencing its hottest day on record at a blistering 45.8 degrees Celsius. Other areas are even hotter: Penrith, west of Sydney, registered at 46.5C Friday, BBC News reported. The previous record in Sydney was 45.3C, measured at Observatory Hill in January 1939. A cold front that came in Friday night brought more extreme weather, as thunderstorms and damaging winds of up to 100 kilometers an hour pummeled the capital, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. "It went from the mid-30s to mid-20s in the space of five to 10 minutes in most areas," said Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) forecaster Jake Phillips. Meanwhile, damaging bushfires continued to rage across Australia due to the unusually high temperatures. "This extreme heat, combined with strong, gusty winds ahead of the cool change, will prove particularly challenging for firefighters who have been battling blazes for two weeks now," Assistant director of Weather Services Alasdair Hainsworth told the Australian. At least one person has died from the fires so far, Sky News reported. "It's a very dangerous environment we're experiencing today," Victoria Country Fire Authority operations manager Bill Johnstone said. "Given the conditions, it's probably as bad as it can get."

The fourth quarter was a challenging period for below investment-grade securities. After a long absence, volatility reared its head across financial markets, taking high yield bonds lower. A steady drumbeat of disappointing news (including geopolitical tensions, concerns around the pace of economic activity in China and Europe, and plunging oil prices) conspired to fatigue investors in sub-investment-grade debt. Economic indicators are signaling continued gains for the U.S. economy, but the divergence between high yield bond and equity market performance during the quarter was striking.
The Credit Opportunities Fund returned −4.91% in the quarter compared with −0.29% for the Barclays U.S. High-Yield Ba/B 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index. The Since Inception (04/29/2014) total return was −6.62% as of December 31, 2014. The fund's expense ratio was 2.63% as estimated on the fund's inception date, May 31, 2014.
Benchmark Definitions
The fund's positions are entirely based on bottom-up selection, regardless of credit quality, industry, or regional characteristics. At the end of the quarter, slightly more than two-thirds of the fund's investments were in high yield bonds. Bank debt, the second-largest allocation, and short-term holdings together accounted for about one-quarter of the portfolio's total net assets. Our bank debt exposure has allowed us to generate high current income with less interest rate risk than high yield bonds. The balance of the portfolio consisted of modest allocations to convertible bonds, equities, and derivatives. We maintained a relatively short duration of approximately three years during the quarter. (Duration measures a fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates.)
High yield bonds and bank loans generate high income with less interest rate sensitivity relative to most alternative fixed income sectors. With these characteristics and given recent market weakness, these asset classes represent compelling investment options. The majority of company fundamentals remain solid, as evidenced by a historically low default rate. Moderate U.S. economic growth and low interest rates also contribute to the attractiveness of high yield issuers. Market corrections can create opportunities, and we are selectively finding compelling values across a number of sectors that provide high yields and prospects for capital appreciation.

Did you know? China is planting a belt of trees to protect land from the expanding Gobi Desert. This Great Green Wall is projected to extend some 4,480 kilometers (2,800 miles), stretching from outer Beijing through Inner Mongolia (Nei Monggol).

Morgantown, WV 26506-6102
Pulmonary drug delivery is increasingly used for both treatment of lung diseases (such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and in delivering drugs to the systemic circulation. Due to complex pharmaceutical and physiological factors underlying bioavailability of inhaled drug products, computational modeling tools are urgently required to provide mechanistic insights of involved delivery processes and to estimate efficacy of pulmonary drug delivery in an accurate and efficient manner. Recently, a novel multiscale computational tool has been developed at CFD Research Corporation to simulate deposition, dissolution, absorption, transport, clearance, and actions of inhaled drug products within an integral framework of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), respiratory physiology, and physiologically based pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PBPK-PD) models. The proposed computational tool will provide a mechanism-based virtual platform to investigate interactions between drug delivery systems and physiological/pathological systems, to provide mechanistic insights into key aspects affecting efficacy and safety of inhaled drug products, and to guide optimal designs of pulmonary drug delivery systems.

Here's a funny
Professional Fighting
Two physicians boarded a flight out of Seattle. One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, an attorney got on and took the aisle seat next to the two physicians. The attorney kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the physician in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get a coke."
"No problem," said the attorney, "I'll get it for you."
While he was gone, one of the physicians picked up the attorney's shoe and put a thumbtack in it. When he returned with the coke, the other physician said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one too."
Again, the attorney obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the other physician picked up the other shoe and put a tack in it. The attorney returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.
As the plane was landing, the attorney slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.
"How long must this go on?" he asked. "This fighting between our professions? This hatred? This animosity? This putting tacks in shoes and spitting in cokes?"
10. Claims those long-distance calls to the Death Star aren't his.
9. Uses Jedi powers to shake up your root beer right before you open it.

6. Dances around in nothing but cape and cowboy hat while doing "Darth Brooks" routine.

3. You feel like an idiot saying, "No, Darth isn't here. He's on the ice planet Hoth."

Ya Got To Luv Um
The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an
urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employees
home phone number and was greeted with a child's whispered, "Hello?"
Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster
the boss asked," Is your Daddy home?"
"Yes", whispered the small voice. "May I talk with him?" the man asked.
To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, "No."
Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked," Is your Mommy there?"
"Yes", came the answer. "May I talk with her?" Again
the small voice whispered, "no".
Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home
alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person
who should be there watching over the child. "Is there anyone there
besides you?" the boss asked the child.
"Yes" whispered the child, "A policeman". Wondering what a cop would be
doing at his employee's home, the boss asked "May I speak with the
"No, he's busy", whispered the child." Busy doing
what?, asked the boss. "Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman",
came the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a
helicopter through the ear piece on the phone the boss asked, "What is
that noise?"
"A hello-copper", answered the whispering voice. "What is going on
there?", asked the boss, now alarmed.
In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team just
landed the hello-copper"
Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little frustrated the boss
asked, "Why are they there"?
Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle:
"They're looking for me"
Heaven and Hell
Heaven Is Where:
The French are the chefs
The Italians are the lovers
The British are the police
The Germans are the mechanics
And the Swiss make everything run on time
Hell is Where:
The British are the chefs
The Swiss are the lovers
The French are the mechanics
The Italians make everything run on time
And the Germans are the police
LOL!!! That little girl is as naughty as our own Goober Girl!!!
In my own personal experience I'd the list as is.
1.Even the NAMES of British food sounds bad. "Bangers and mash/spotted dick/ and chips n eggs"
2.What does Swiss cheese tell ya?(snicker)They are very meticulous watch makers. Meticulous is good for making watches.... not um y'know....
3.French Wine is wonderful
4.My DH aint Italian so I ain't admitting to nothin.
5.I'm in love with an Italian sports car(Bugatti)and the Italian motorcycle(Ducati) but I've heard good things about Mercedes and Audi.They're cute cars anyway.
6.Even the thought of German police makes me nervous.
PJ, re. German police officers, they just get a bad rep because of old Nazi movies. My Halfbrother has been a Police Officer in Germany for 20 years, and my uncle was one for decades. Nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. :o)
As for the British food, bangers and mash and chips and eggs are actually pretty good!! As for the other one you mentioned, it sounds like it would require medical attention and lots of antibiotics. :o)
A Dose of HMO's Own Medicine
A doctor, a nurse, and the top executive of an HMO have all died and are in line together at the Pearly Gates.
St. Peter speaks with them and asks what good each has done in their life.
Doctor: "I have devoted my life to the sick and needy and have had a part in caring for, and healing thousands of poor people."
St. Peter: "That's great. Go ahead in to heaven. And what about you, dear?"
Nurse: "I've supported the good doctor and his patients my entire life as an adult."
St. Peter: "Wonderful. Please proceed in with the doctor. And what about you?"
Health Maintenance Organizaton Director: "I was the president of a very large HMO and was responsible for the healthcare of millions of people all over the country."
St. Peter: "Oh, I see. Please go in.. but you can only stay two nights!"
Hee hee hee.....those are all funny.
I say let the French and the Italians be the cooks! They can take turns.
Here's one my DH's cousin sent me.
This happened about a month ago just outside of Willmar, a little town In the back country of Minnesota, and while it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's real.
This out of state traveler was on the side of the road, hitchhiking on a Real dark night in the middle of a thunderstorm. Time passed slowly and no cars went by. It was raining so hard he could hardly see his hand in front of his face.
Suddenly he saw a car moving slowly, approaching and appearing ghostlike In the rain. It slowly and silently crept toward him and stopped. Wanting a ride really bad the guy jumped in the car and closed the door; only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the wheel, and no sound of an engine to be hard over the rain.
Again the car crept slowly forward and the guy was terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and running. The guy saw that the car was approaching a sharp curve and, still too scared to jump out, he started to pray and began begging for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and into a nearby lake and he would surely drown!
But just before the curve a shadowy figure appeared at the driver's window and a hand reached in and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend. Then, just as silently, the hand disappeared through the window and the hitchhiker was alone again!
Paralyzed with fear, the guy watched the hand reappear every time they reached a curve. Finally the guy, scared to near death, had all he could take and jumped out of the car and ran and ran, into town, into Willmar. Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and voice quavering, ordered two Shots of whiskey, then told everybody about his supernatural experience.
A silence enveloped the place and everybody got goose bumps when they realized the guy had to be telling the truth (and was not just some drunk).
About half an hour later two guys walked into the bar and one says to the other, "Look Ole, ders dat idiot that rode in our car when we wuz pushin It in the rain."
Me too! Love the blonde joke lol!
Subject: How many cows do you have ????
A Montana cowboy was herding his cows in a remote pasture when suddenly suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy,
"If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"
The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his AT&T cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored.
He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says,
"You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the cowboy. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then the cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're a Congressman for the U.S. government" says the cowboy.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie,"but how did you guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew,to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows........ Now give me back my dog."
I thought I responded to this one
Really good one PJ, lol
A Very Deep Hole
Two guys are walking through the woods and come across this big deep hole.
"Wow...that looks deep." "Sure does... toss a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is."
They pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait... no noise "Geeez. That is REALLY deep... here.. throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise."
They pick up a couple football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait... and wait. Nothing.
They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, "Hey...over here in the weeds, there's a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss THAT sucker in, it's GOTTA make some noise."
The two drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. Not a sound comes from the hole.
Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as its legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole.
The two men are astonished with what they've just seen... Then, out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the men and ambles over.
"Hey... have you two guys seen my goat out here?"
"You bet we did! Craziest thing I've ever seen! It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!"
"Nah", says the farmer, "That couldn't have been MY goat. My goat was chained to a railroad tie."
A cowboy gets pulled over by a State Trooper for speeding. The trooper started to lecture the cowboy about his speeding and tried to make the cowboy feel uncomfortable.
Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket. As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.
The cowboy said, "Y'all havin' problems with circle flies?"
The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said, "Well yeah, if that's what they're called."
"Well, sir," the cowboy replies, "Circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."
The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. But, a moment later he stops and says, "Are
you callin' me a horse's ass?"
"No, sir," the cowboy replies. "I have too much respect for law enforcement to call y'all a horse's ass."
"That's good," the trooper says and goes back to writing the ticket.
After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard to fool them flies though!"
A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife turning back and forth, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off, he asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday.
"I'd like to be six again," she replied, still looking in the mirror.
On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster... everything there was. Seven hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.
Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well Dear, what
was it like being six again?"
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.
"I meant my Dress Size, you dufus!"
While Bubba and Billy Bob were in the local Wal-Mart, they decided to get in on the weekly charity raffle.
They bought five tickets each at a dollar a pop. The following week, when the raffle was drawn, each had won a prize.
Billy Bob won 1st place- a year's supply of gourmet spaghetti sauce and extra long spaghetti.
Bubba won 6th prize- a toilet brush.
About a week or so had passed when the men met back at Wal-Mart. Bubba asked Billy Bob how he liked his prize, to which Billy Bob replied, "Great!, I love spaghetti!"
Billy Bob asked Bubba, "How 'bout you, how's the toilet brush? "Not so good," replied Bubba, "I reckon I'm gonna switch back to paper."

Joke #1.
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him ".
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the
drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."
Joke #3.
One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"
The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

silly soap scenting question
I am assuming there is a good reason for not using vanilla flavoring (the cooking kind) as a vanilla scent in soap, but could someone enighten me as to why, or can it be used?
I wasn't aware that you couldn't. I have used other food flavorings like mint, etc., in melt and pour recipes with no problem. Using it in cold process soap could pose a problem- the alcohol in the flavorings could react with the lye, but I am just guessing.
This has a specific answer.
Here is a link that might be useful: scroll to the bottom question
Here's another opinion.
Here is a link that might be useful: Vanilla Extract use
So the use of extracts in CP soap is basically out. I figured that. However, in M&P it seems to be okay. I have also used cinnamon oil and clove oil in M&P soap, along with vanilla. The fragrance seems to last a long time, or at least as long as most fragrance oils do. It does require more extract to achieve a good fragrance than it does fragrance oil. The mint is especially hard to achieve a good fragrance with, I think, but the cinnamon oil and also ground cinnamon seem to produce a strong fragrance.
Cinnamon can be an irratant to some women on the tender parts:)
Alcohol is sometimes used in melt and pour for connecting layers of different colours etc. As for the strength of vanilla extract, I don't know. Using EOs is a good bet for a good outcome. For vanilla and cinnamon, about 1/2 of an ounce per pound of oils with no adverse effect or irratation.
Good luck!

Historical Traveler Reviews Copthorne Hotel Effingham Gatwick Crawley
Reasonable for the price
We stayed here for one night before flying out to Las Vegas at the end of March this year. It was generally okay, the only problem we had was being put into a room next to the air conditioner units which resulted in a lot of noise and the walls vibrating ! Complained at reception and our room was changed without any fuss.
I would stay at this hotel again as a stopover because it is so close to Gatwick and the parking deals you can get.
Tired & Tatty
Tired building & rude staff, wouldn't recommend especially as they were aware i had stayed before & had problems.
Great HONEYMOON experience!
My wife and I stayed here on the night of our wedding back in 1994. We only stayed the one night as we were flying out to Kenya the following day, but we both very much liked the hotel. Food was great, and although we had one of their better rooms as we were on honeymoon, the whole hotel appeared good value for money.
Oh so cold
Oh my god, no heating in December!!!!! it was so cold and no portable heaters available as they'd run out!!! And thats what you get for over �100.00 for the night!!!
You wont be finding me there again!!!
This is not a 4 star Hotel, Bathrails so hot in the summer that they heat the whole room up,no air-conditioning, Breakfast Buffet food not keep hot, time for breakfast is listed between 6.30-10am everything is being cleared away by 9.30am, when staff are just standing around talking.
In a 4 star Hotel I would expect them to use a Taxi service that has cars with air-conditioning, this was not a good start to a 15 hour journey back to the states.
We would not stay in any of these Hotels again, please! I would like to know what it takes to find a Hotel in England that actually has the standard they are rated to be.
Don't go there!
Awful. The price quoted changed 4 times from when we booked until when we arrived. Staff were rude especially the duty manager who was an pompous arrogant little man who argued with us and would not back down when he wanted to charge us �25 more than what we quoted when we booked it. When we picked our car up 10 days later is was covered in birds excement and grass cuttings! I had to put it through a car wash so i could see properly to drive home. Don't go there.
Best breakfast I've ever had!
Absolutely loved this hotel, it's fairly standard in terms of decor but lovely swimming pool facilities and the breakfasts were incredible, anyone who serves clotted cream at 8am in the morning deserves a recommendation!
Not up to a four star standard at all!
Stayed here last Summer but only just found this site hence late review.This hotel does not come up to my expectations of a four star hotel with airport transfers. The corridors were dirty, had peeling paintwork, scuff marks etc etc.In our room the sofa was so old the fabric was worn,shiny and grubby. I really didn't want to sit on it.We had a room with a balcony which had dirty broken plastic chairs, and what looked like outside stairways to all this area of rooms. This meant that our room did not feel secure, and we had to hide our luggage in the bathroom when we went out for dinner.Finally the airport transfer was appalling. I believe that the coaches only ran every half hour or hour,and picked up at another hotel which legthened the journey considerably,and therefore we had to pre-book our places for the transportation at around 6.00am to be sure of checking in on time.
Considering this hotel advertises itself for airport travel this didn't seem good enough.
Superb the price considered
My husband and I spent a weekend at the hotel and had absolutely nothing to complain about. The staff was very competent, willing and forthcoming, the kitchen was outstanding, the room was cosy and tidy.
For a 4-star hotel we had everything we could wish for. Our finest recommendations.
Bad choice on our part
Rude staff. No porter to help with luggage. Arranged for airport transfer, didnt happen. Staff's superior attitude quite unnecessary.
Rooms very nicely decorated but the odour of cigarettes most unpleasant, especially as non smoking room had been requested. Not too sure we would recommend the hotel to our friends.

EU Ambassador to Lebanon Angelina Eichhorst gives a speech during a reception at her residence in Yarze, Friday, May 9, 2014. (The Daily Star, HO)
BEIRUT: European Union Ambassador to Lebanon Angelina Eichhorst hailed the values of peace, unity and freedom promoted by the EU on the occasion of Europe Day.
"While drawing inspiration from the rich and diverse cultural, religious and humanist inheritances of Europe, we hold high the universal values of the rights of the human person, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law," Eichhorst said at a reception at her residence in Beirut suburb of Yarze Monday.
"These values, the essence of peace, unity and prosperity, we wish to share with our neighbors in the East and in the South."
She said that since 2000, the EU's motto is "United in Diversity."
"I beg European citizens, present here tonight, your indulgence for not using our 24 official languages. Our unity is our strength and our diversity is our wealth," she said.
Eichhorst said "major changes" have taken place in the past several years in the Arab world.
"Perhaps the biggest change in this region is the power of the individual. People now request, with all technological means at hand, to have a say in how they are governed and by whom," she said.
"The empowerment of the individual presents a great opportunity for advancing human dignity. It challenges all of us to make continued efforts to be close to each other, listen, engage, advise where appropriate, support where needed, stay behind and observe when most suitable, always respecting the other, and always promoting peaceful means of decision-making through dialogue."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
