TV, free of Missouri political ads.
rockchalker52 2 years, 8 months ago
Just saw a TV ad that said I'd flip for their pancakes. They said they 'flip 'em all flippin' day long.' For real, that is what they said.
Now, I'm gonna hear that voice every time I read one of babboy's posts.

I am really enjouing reading what Rush Limbaugh has to say in his demented spin on what went wrong in the election and his never ending blather on what the "regime" is doing.
Actually, old "puss bimbo" ought to be happy that the president won the election, if Romney had won, well, who would he savage, attack, slam, bash and generally make invented notions about?? Does Romney have a birth certificate?? Is it real? Rush should look into this!!
Who (outside of Missouri) would buy his dittocrap?? The "demonrat" victory gives him "4 more years" of creating vile rehetoric and blather to insert in between his commercials for t-shirts, coffee mugs and "newsletters".
I also am looking forward to seeing how Brownbackwards will wiggle out of his responsibilities to the state of Kansas in regard to the Affordable Care Act (formerly known as "Obamacare")
Who among us does not enjoy the blatherings and inverted logic of the owner of this newsrag, Sir Dolphus!!

The 2014 Midterms and getting Mitch McConnell the hell out of Washington. (Believe it or not, Ashley Judd is being courted to go up against him. And don't discount her as some "empty headed actress". The woman has a Masters Degree in Public Policy from Harvard, which is a ton more than what Ronnie Reagan and the "Ahnuld" had.)

Oh I'm also looking forward to getting social security in 40 years. I thought that it was going to run out for my generation, but a deceptively in-the-know coworker said that I was mistaken..they're actually going to be able to "rearrange" the money. What a relief!

Rubbing it in?
After years of reading hateful statements and nonsense predictions about how Obama was going to creamed and never re-elected, I look forward to telling a few people that they were wrong. A few of the worst offenders, of course, are disappointed conservatives who are off moping and are, for the first time in years, suddenly no longer posting on a daily basis.
That is okay. I can wait.

Short Cuts
The first bishop of Dromore in County Down, was this St. Colman, who founded a monastery there, probably about the year 514. He was venerated from early times in Scotland as well as in Ireland, and under the date of June 7 we find him mentioned in several of the ancient calendars of both Countries--sometimes as Mocholmoc, or Mocholmog--"my dear little Colum". The Felire of Oengus describes him as "the great descendant of Artae", but nothing is actually known of his parentage and of his career, the manuscripts of a much later date which profess to relate his life being full of anachronisms and extravagant stories. As there are over two hundred Irish saints of the name of Coman, it is scarcely to be wondered at if their histories have become confused. According to tradition, St. Colman of Dromore was born in Dalriada. After receiving his early training at Nendrum, or Mahee Island, from St. Coelan, he became a disciple of St. Ailbe of Emly. Among his friends was St. Macanisius, whose advice he sought as to his future career. "It is the will of God that you erect a monastery within the bounds of Coba plain", was the answer he received. He accordingly set to work and established his community by the river Lagan which passes through Dromore. The most famous of his pupils was St. Finnian of Moville. St. Colman seems to have died about the middle of the sixth century or rather earlier, and was probably interred at Dromore, though the Breviary of Aberdeen gives Inchmacome as his place of Burial. His feast is kept in all dioceses of Ireland.

After an inauguration ceremony watched by a crowd of 700,000, Barack Obama celebrated being sworn in for a second term as US President with two star-studded balls in Washington.
He held his wife Michelle close as they danced in front of thousands of cheering guests at the Walter E Washington convention centre, as Jennifer Hudson sang Al Green's Let's Stay Together.
Paying tribute to Michelle — who was dressed in a red chiffon and velvet gown by Jason Wu — Mr Obama said that although he faced criticism as the President, "nobody disputes the quality of the First Lady".
He added: "I've got a date with me here. She inspires me every day. She makes me a better man and a better president. The fact that she is so devoted to taking care of our troops and military families is just one more sign of her extraordinary love and grace and strength. I'm just lucky to have her."
The couple attended the Commander-in-Chief's Ball for the armed forces, which featured entertainment by Alicia Keys, Marc Anthony, Jamie Foxx, country star Brad Paisley, and Chris Cornell of rock band Soundgarden.
They then moved next door for the Inaugural Ball, which saw performances by Keys, Paisley, the Glee cast, John Legend, Katy Perry, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and Usher. Keys changed her hit Girl On Fire to sing: "He's the President and he's on fire... Obama's on fire. Obama's on fire."
The Obamas danced at both balls as Hudson sang. Earlier in the day, Beyoncé almost stole the show when she took her place with husband Jay-Z at the Capitol to watch Mr Obama take the oath of office. She sang the national anthem, with James Taylor performing America The Beautiful, and Kelly Clarkson giving a rendition of My Country 'Tis Of Thee.
Mr Obama, the 44th US President, was sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts. Former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter joined senators, congressional leaders and dignitaries at the ceremony.
In his speech he called for political unity, and highlighted issues including immigration reform, climate change, and gay rights — the first president to address this issue in his inauguration. He said: "Our individual freedoms require collective action.
"We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We must act together, as one nation and one people. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law."
Mr Obama also referred to his campaign to curb gun violence, naming the Connecticut town where 20 children were shot dead at a primary school last month.
He said: "Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm."
He added: "A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America's possibilities are limitless ... My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it, so long as we seize it together." Gazing over the huge crowd in the National Mall, he said: "I'm not going to see this again."

Adam Dunn (0-for-38 against lefties) sits versus Jon Lester
May 31, 2011, 11:51 AM EDT
After beginning the season in a 0-for-38 slump against left-handed pitching Adam Dunn got yesterday off versus one of the league's toughest lefties, Red Sox ace Jon Lester.
Ozzie Guillen talked previously about being patient with Dunn, but the manager has since moved him from the No. 3 spot in the batting order and is now sitting him altogether against certain pitchers, which certainly isn't what the White Sox signed up for when they gave him a four-year, $56 million deal as a free agent this winter.
With an OPS above .850 in seven straight seasons Dunn is too good to remain in this season-long slump for long, but his struggles against lefties may not go away even when he gets back on track overall. Dunn's career numbers versus southpaws are good, but even before going 0-for-38 off them this year he hit just .199 off them in 2010 and hasn't had an OPS above .800 against lefties since 2006.
- Old Gator - May 31, 2011 at 11:53 AM
I don't understand why they're sitting him. The man is clearly due.
- deathmonkey41 - May 31, 2011 at 12:43 PM
Anyone want to start a pool to see who gets a hit off a lefty first- Dunn or Posada?
- bleedgreen - May 31, 2011 at 1:09 PM
It'll come around. It did for Raul. It will for Dunn as well.
- patsandsox - May 31, 2011 at 1:28 PM
A couple of weeks ago Red Sox nation was calling Carl Crawford a bust no hes come out of his post big contract funk.
He also switched leauges so I imagine that makes it a little tougher also.
A proven hitter like Adam Dunn will hit its just a matter of time. I bet by October his stats have risen to near his normal levels.

January 4, 2011 10:06 by Reuters
Malaysian trustee firm Amanah Raya Bhd expects to obtain licences to set up Kazakhstan's second Islamic bank in the second quarter of 2011 and begin operating the lender within a year, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Amanah Raya would have a 55 percent stake in the joint venture company to be set up, state-run Development Bank of Kazakhstan will own 40 percent and brokerage Fattah Finance the balance, Malaysia's Business Times reported.
"The operation strategies are also being formulated by the parties to ensure that the bank will be acceptable in the retail and commercial markets," an Amanah Raya spokesperson was quoted as saying.
Oil-rich Kazakhstan is drawing on Arab and Malaysian investment to build an Islamic banking industry among its 13 million Muslims and diversify its financial industry after a banking crisis.
Al Hilal, owned by the government of Abu Dhabi, was the first bank to tap Kazakhstan when it passed new laws in 2009 to allow an Islamic finance industry. The bank opened its Kazakh offices in March 2010.

Chelsea seek good conduct
Thursday 23 February 1995
Security will be high for Tuesday's game - and a team of Metropolitan Police officers will be on hand to liaise with local security officials.
Chelsea's 2,100 allocation went to identifiable supporters who are travelling on club-organised packages, and Club Bruges have said they will be operating a strict segregation policy.
"The club and genuine fans realise the visit to Bruges, because of recent events, will be under the microscope," Chelsea's managing director, Colin Hutchinson, said.
"On the evidence of two earlier European trips [to Jablonec in the Czech Republic and Vienna] we believe the 2,100 travelling with the club will not tarnish the image of Chelsea or English football."
Arrangements have taken the form of a military operation and club officials, together with an observer from the Football Association and police officers, visited Belgium in early January for a planning meeting which was also attended by the British Consul and Bruges police.
The list of those sold tickets has been vetted against files of known troublemakers - and one fan has been banned from going to the game after being ejected against Tottenham this season.

G. D. HARRIS ART OF DRYING Filed Oct. 20, 1922 Nov. 24, 1925- Patented Nov. 24, 1925. v
A CORPORATION or CONNECTICUT.
Application filed October 20, 1922. Serial 1%. 595,747.
To-aZZ whom it may concern."
Be it known that I, GORDON Don HARRIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Freepo rt, county of Nassau, and State of 5 New York, have invented a certain newand useful Art of Drying, of which the following is a specification. Preliminary to drying certain materials, such as wood, it is desirable, by tests, to determine certain physical characteristics of said material, such as the water content thereof, and the rate at which the contained water spreadsor diffuses through the fibres, and within said material, in'order for the body of the material. s M In the process of drying wood, it is known that as the contained water within the material decreases, due to surface evaporation,
the spreading or diffusing of the water content becomes slower, and, further, that such spreading and diffusing of the water content does not take place uniformly throughout the mass of the material, this unequal.
spreading in the case of wood being due to a natural physical formation of the material, as well as the presenceof oneor more inherent constituents of such material. a result of the unequal diffusion of the moisture content within the material, there occurs, at regular or irregular stages of the drying period, a dry surface on the material, i. e., a surface free or substantially free from moisture, an when heat is steadily areas by the flow of a drying atmosphere into continued contact therewith, it follows that such application of heat tosuch .dry
areas, attaining the undesirable condition known as case hardening.
With a View to the economical and prac: ticaldrying'of materials of that character wherein the diffusion of the water content takes place irregularly and unequally, the
water content to reach the surface of thesupplied for a certain period to such dry- PATENT OFFICE.
process of drying-is required to be controllabl e at will with a View to so conditioning .the drying atmosphere at different stages that such atmosphere is suited to the condition of the material. In this invention, the process is based upon a physical law demanding equalization of two bodies of different densities, one of such bodies, in this instance, being the material with a known moisture content and with a givenorate of diffusion of such content, and the other body being a drying atmosphere with a determined, although controllable, humidity and temperature.
Accordingly, the drying atmosphere flowing into contact with material placed within a closed chamber is controllable as regards both the temperature and'humidity of such atmosphere, at any and all stages of the evaporation, to the end that the temperature can range from high to low, or vice versa, together with the control of the humidity of such atmosphere to attain different percentages of moisture content throughout the drying period, whereby the atmosphere is suited at different stages in the drying operation to correspond with variations in thewatercontent of the material, and particularly to the surface condition, either wet or dry, .of the material undergoing treatment.
Obviously, the humidity of the atmosphere is, or should be, constantly less than the moisture present on the surface of the material, to. the end that the atmosphere performs with efficiency the elimination of such surface moisture, but at certain stages in the evaporation of moisture from the material, there occurs on the surface of such material adry condition, i. e., an area sub stantially free a from surface moisture, so that the humidity of the atmosphere 1s of greater density than the dry area of the material, and at this stage'in the treatment of the material the action is reversed to the end that moisture present in the atmosphere is depositedupon the dry surfaces of the material, the effect of which is to moisten the dry area of the material by the humidity carried by the atmosphere, such deposit of moisture from atmosphere to material taking place for an indeterminate period and density of such atmosphere is conditioned with reference to the surface moisture of the material and the rate of diffusion of the water content within the mass of such material, to the end that there may be prac tically obtained that condition which meets the requirements with respect to the equalization of two' bodies of different densities. During the progress of the evaporation, the
- moisture content of the material decreases,
the moisture exuding to the surface of the material and being carried away from. the presence of such surface by the flow of the atmosphere. As the moisture content of the material decreases, the atmosphere is conditioned by increasing or decreasing its temperature and the humidity is varied in a certain ratio to such decreased moisture content on the surface of the material, and also to the rate of diffusion within the material, having in- View, however, the'presence of such percentage of humidity in the atmosphere as will result in the deposit of moisture upon the dry areas, so called, produced. upon the surface of the material by the absence of moisture occasioned by an inequality in the diffusion of such moisturewithin the mass of the material itself, due
..to the physical formation or the inherent resinous content of such material.
The evaporatlon is conducted wlthin-a chamber: closed to the admission of outside atmospheric air, and the control of the atmosphere within the chamber is obtained by heaters and condensers, said heaters and condensers being positioned in different zones within a circulatory path for such atmosphere, whereby the heaters act to impart to the atmosphere the heat units required to efl'ectuate the evaporation as well as to produce the required upflow into contact with the material, whereas the condensers act upon the atmosphere for the dual purpose of chilling such atmosphere to insure its downflow within a definite part of the circulatory path and to condense a certain portion of the aqueous content of such atmosphere, which condensation eliminates to a substantial and determined degree that moisture taken up by the air fromthe material in the exchange of heat for moisture.
The process is carried out in various forms I of apparatus, one of which is diagram- .other end of said chamber.
matically illustrated in vertical sectional elevation in the accompanying drawing.
H, The material, in the form of lumber, is stacked or piled upon a truck, B, which is introduced with the load into a chamber, A,
referred to as a drying chamber, the same constituting a part of a circulatory path closed against the admission of outside atmospheric air, and through which chamber and the stacked material flows a drying atmosphere adapted to be expanded by an initial heater, C. As shown, the atmosphere flows within a bottom flue, 0, within which is positioned the initial heater, shown as coils to which steam is supplied through a pipe, 0, controlled by a valve, 0. Connected to the bottom flue is an updraft flue, D,
and a down-draft flue, E, said updraft flue, K
D, being at one end of the drying chamber, whereas a similar updraft flue, D, is at the These updraft flues are shownas having dampers, d, d, positioned in such relation to the drying chamber and to the flues that the atmosphere is directed to flow from the initial heater flue, G, into a part of flue, D, thence into the lower art of the drying chamber and through the stacked material therein, thence into the lower part of flue,
D, thence back to the drying chamber on a' level above the first flow of the atmosphere therein, thence into the upper part of flue, D, back again through the drying chamber,
and thence into the down-draft flue, E.
The atmosphere flowing into contact with the initial heater, C, is heated to the tem perature required to effect the evaporation of moisture from the material within the chamber, A, i. e., the atmosphere carries the required heat units to so act on the material asto exchange heat for moisture, and during this flow of the atmosphere within the drying chamber it is conducted and deflected into the required contact with all surfaces of the material, thus carrying out the evaporation stage of the process. During theexchange of heat for moisture, the air gives off a certain proportion of the heat units and its temperature is reduced, but to attain efficiency in the evaporation at all stages of the process, I employ compensating heaters, F, which are positioned within the flues, D,,D, and in the line of flow of the atmosphere, such heaters being shown as having sources of steam supply through pipes, 7, provided with controlling valves. 7", as usual. The temperature of the atmosphere as it makes the passes into contact with the material is indicated by one or more thermometers, the position of one of which is indicated at G, in the upper part of flue, D. Obviously, a drop in the temperature of the atmosphere due to the exchange of heat for moisture will be indicated by the thermometers, but by opening the moisture tends to decrease the temperature of the atmosphere, but by using compensating heaters within the line of flow of the atmosphere, andby controlling said com pensating heaters, the heat units radiated are apportioned to a decrease in the water content evaporated from the material under treatment.
The atmos here flowing within the drying chamber an into contact with the material thereiIr attains a certain moisture content and acquires a particular or specified moisture load prior to flowing, into the down,
draft flue, E, and at this stage in the flow of the atmosphere it is brought into contact with a condenser or condensers, H, the same having the capacity for chilling theatmosphere to a specified dew point, the effect of which is to depositall water vapor in excess of a specified dew oint. As shown, the condenser, H,'is a c oi positioned within the down draft flue, E, and adapted to be supplied with a cooling agent, such as cold water, brine, or ammonia, through pipes, it, provided with controlling valves, It The condensate deposited upon the condensing coils is free to drop into a collecting trough, I, with a valved discharge, z', ,leading to the exterior of the apparatus.
The humidity of the atmos here descending within the flue, E, is in icated by the dew point made as indicated by the thermometer, the position of which is denoted at J, but the chilling of the atmosphere and the condensation of moisture is controllable by varying the volume or character of the cooling agent supplied to the condenser, H, to the end that the humid condition of the atmosphere is controllable by the deposit of a specified quantity of water vapor upon the condensers, thus establishing and maintaining a desired moisture content of the atmosphere in proportion to the surface moisture present on the material, although as the evaporation progresses, such humid condition of the atmosphere may be controlled to attain a decreased or increased moisture content in proportion to the decrease in the moisture content of the material.
- The mode of (procedure is apparent from the foregoing escri ption, w erein it apor series of-coils,
pears that material is loaded on the truck and deposited within the chamber, the same being closed tightly against. the ingress of outside atmospheric air. Steam is supplied to the initial heater for raising the atmosphere to the desired temperature, and expanding such atmosphere to create the flow within chamber A, and into contact with the material therein. The atmosphere is directed to all surfaces of the material to effect the the exchange of heat for moisture, with the attendant ratio loss of heat, the compensating heaters, F, are brought into service with a view to radiating heat ,in the same ratio or proportion as that lost by the evaporation, to the end that the temperature remains constant, the effect of which is to establish "5 eva oration and at the 1'6 uired sta e 7 I:
and maintain a specified temperature in all parts of the drying chamber. The atmosphere makes a number of passes within the chamber and into contactwith the material, so as to acquire a specified water vapor load,
and thence passes out of the chamber and into flue, E, the condensers in which cool or chill the atmosphere to eflect the downflow within the flue, E, whereby the atmosphere is chilled to a specified dew pointand thus deposits upon the condensers all water vapor in excess of the specified dew point.
It is this apparent that by, expanding theatmosphere and cooling such atmosphere that a circulation is set u within the closed path to the exclusion of t e outside air, and it is thus possible,- byheating the air to a required temperature and by chilling the,
atmosphere to a specified dew point, to so condition the atmosphere in respect to both its temperature and humidity as to apportionsuch atmosphere to the water content and surface moisture of the material and the rate of difiusion or spreading of such 7 water .content within the mass of such material, the result of which is to equalize the action of'the two bodies of different densitieS.
The process described attains economy for the reason that a contained volume of atmospheric air within a closed path is utilized for conveying theheat units to the roduct under treatment, and this same vo ume of air is used as the agency for conveying the temperature and humidity suited to attain eva oration of moisture 'from the material without im airing the character or physical structure 0 such material.
Although reference has been made to the -water vapor out of the presence of the matetreatment of wood for evaporating water therefrom, it .will be understood that my process is useful in the treatment ,of different kinds of material.
Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In the art of drying, the process which consists in setting up the flow of an atmosphere within a closed circulatory path by alternately heating and cooling such atmosphere, and condensing a certain percentage of the aqueous content of such atmosphere at the chilling stage thereof, for controlling the humidity of such atmosphere in a definite proportion to the-surface moisture of the material under treatment.

Home > Press > IP Profile: Nanoswitches based on Crystalline Conductive Polymer Nanoneedles
|Switching behavior of the nanoneedle vs. gold
As the density of electronic circuits increases, electronic researchers are looking to nano-scale devices. Typical organic nanoswitches are slow (~ minutes) and are difficult to produce. Our conductive polymer nanocrystal system has switching times on the order of milliseconds and is scalable. This invention will allow for use of this nanoswitch system in conventional commercial micro or nanocircuits.
Organization: Center for Engineered Polymeric Materials (CEPM), A NYSTAR sponsored CART center, College of Staten Island
Primary Market: Electronics
Technology Contact: Dr. Nan Loh Yang, Director of CEPM
IP profile courtesy of Nan Loh Yang, Director of Center for Engineered Polymeric Materials (CEPM), College of Staten Island
Professor Nan-Loh Yang, Director of the NYSTAR designated Center for Engineered Polymeric Materials (CEPM) indicated that these conductive polymer nanoswitches are especially suited for use in nanoelectronics and nanocircuitry and have switching speeds that are several orders of magnitude faster than typical organic switching materials. This crystalline conductive polymer material can cycle between two states based on an applied threshold bias voltage (~3V). This switching phenomenon has potential applications in circuit switching elements, e.g. driving organic electroluminescent (EL) display panels or for high-density memories.
Methods of manufacturing the nanoparticle polymer structure in the nanoswitch are based on a novel interfacial oxidative polymerization technique. Conductive polymers such as polythiophenes, polypyrroles and polyaniline were employed but were not limited to these polymer families. These highly crystalline conductive polymers have very rapid switching times which allows for the use of these materials in the targeted applications. The use of these electronics materials can open the door to many applications in both current and future circuit designs. CEPM is seeking partners in joint development of this invention. The immediate aim would be to make developmental prototype nanoswitches that could be used in current commercial devices.

The Sea Life Hotel offers a warm welcome and a relaxing respite.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
The dolphin in the swimming pool caught my attention. As I stepped out onto the balcony minutes after entering my suite at Nahariya's newly refurbished Sea Life Hotel, my eyes wandered from the incredible view of the Mediterranean to the lawn, sun deck and pool below my room. The dolphin was just one of the decorative elements on a marine theme scattered throughout the boutique hotel, but it seemed to represent the attention to aesthetics and calming atmosphere.It is a credit to the hotel, and to the small Western Galilee town, that I managed to truly relax during a two-day visit despite the fact that Operation Protective Edge was still raging farther south.My first dilemma was whether to go straight down to the pool where the dolphin seemed to be beckoning, to head for the beachfront promenade along one of the country's most gorgeous stretches of coast or to just chill out in the room, tastefully decorated in soothing earthy colors.The pool won."Don't write too positive a review," joked a couple from Tel Aviv, stretched out on the double sun beds, when they discovered the purpose of my visit. "We want to come back and don't want it to be too crowded."An English-speaking couple from Jerusalem staying at the hotel with their young daughter didn't mind my sharing the secret, however. The current crisis was clearly taking a toll on the hotel and on the tourism industry in general, and they wanted to do anything they could to help encourage more visitors.Last year, Nahariya's Sea Life Hotel underwent a NIS 20 million renovation and upgrade, expanding from 20 suites to 62, several of them totally adapted for wheelchair access.A lot of thought and care were obviously invested along with the money. The design combines a modern look with the use of many natural materials, offering luxury and an old-world atmosphere at the same time."The hotel's concept is to offer a relaxing and pleasant vacation. Please be considerate of the quiet atmosphere," read the hotel information sheet. The warning was unnecessary. Something in the air itself – carried by the sea breeze perhaps – seemed to demand peace and quiet.Watching the sun set over the Mediterranean from the comfort of my balcony, the tension of the previous few days disappeared, erased by the sound of the waves hitting the shore.While the hotel caters to families with children, it also provides a perfect setting for a romantic retreat.The spa operating alongside the hotel is equipped with a salt room, as well as steam and dry saunas and a Jacuzzi and a full range of treatments (for an extra fee). There is also an indoor pool for those taking a break in cooler seasons.Among the special features are free bicycles for guests (the recommended route is an easy ride north to the nearby Betzet, Achziv and Rosh Hanikra beaches). The same path in the evening looks like a movie set for couples who want to stroll off into the sunset together. In the morning, it is used by those wanting to walk off the very large breakfast, served in the (kosher) restaurant that overlooks the pool and sea.I have been in larger hotels, fancier hotels and hotels that are much better known, but I have never stayed at a friendlier place.And I say this as the type of person who, embarrassingly, rarely manages to work the electronic key, air-conditioning or TV without help, and I have tried the patience of the employees in many facilities in different countries.The staff – from the reception and restaurant to maintenance and to poolside – were keen not only to help but also to use their (generally good) English."It's a feature of the Western Galilee," said a friend who lives in a nearby town. "Being friendly is a way of life here."The nightlife is basically what you want to make of it (and some might be tempted not to leave the comfort of the hotel). The Ozrot Hagalil website (ozrothagalil.org.il) and smartphone app is an excellent resource for those seeking ideas about activities and dining possibilities in the area.At the recommendation of staff and friends, my son and I headed to Nahariya's main street, Haga'aton, with the tiny river running through it. Although busier and more modern than I remembered it from many years ago when my family lived in the Galilee, it has kept a lot of its European charm. The yekkes (German-speaking immigrants) who founded Israel's northernmost coastal town as a tourist resort have largely passed on but their influence remains, evident in the coffee shops, restaurants and the trademark horsedrawn carriages.Nahariya is a small and gentle seaside resort, and the boutique Sea Life Hotel provided the perfect place for some rest, recreation and respite from the world at large.
