Experience the beauty of three historic capitals of Classical, Medieval and Renaissance acclaim as local experts lead you on a journey through some of Italy�s greatest cities. Follow the path of legendary artists, scientists and philosophers from the classical remnants of Rome to the preserved treasures of Florence and Venice.
� Trace Roman history through the ages as you visit the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Borghese Museum and the Vatican Museum.
� Journey to Florence and Venice via a high speed EuroStar train, reaching speeds of over 120 mph.
� View the "David" � a Renaissance period masterpiece in Florence � and ride in a gondola through the canals of Venice.
Activity Particulars
Extensive walking in traffic-free urban centers which prevent tourist coaches from parking or loading passengers at sites. The distances traversed on foot can reach 4 mi/day�always interspersed with rest time, typically at a meal. Standing for extended periods of time during site visits. Special attention needs to be paid to the uneven aspect of cobblestone streets. Elevator use in some historic buildings is restricted. Not all staircases have banisters. Venice is unique as a city with no vehicles besides public or private boats that run along the Grand Canal. Extensive walking in Venice includes crossing bridges that span minor canals. As with many things, the effort expended has its aesthetic reward.
Date Specific Information
Enjoy the latest in hearing technology � listening devices � on this date.

Travel and study with Road Scholar in Rome, Florence, and Venice during low season means museums, other cultural attractions, and restaurants are less crowded, with more opportunities for relaxed �people watching� as we mix and mingle with the locals. In Venice, especially, we will feel more like Venetians as we ride the vaporetto (public boats) down the Grand Canal without crowds of tourists.
Itinerary Summary
Arrival Rome, 4 nights; train to Florence, 4 nights; train to Venice, 4 nights; departure.
Overnight flight from the U.S.A.
1 night
Arrival Rome
4 nights
Begin to unravel the multiple layers of Roman history as you examine some of the masterpieces preserved in the National Museum of Palazzo Massimo alle Terme. Lectures offer insight on various aspects of Roman culture, architecture and artists, such as Michelangelo and Bernini. Marvel at the stunning Ceiling and the imposing Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel. Visit the Colosseum and the Roman Forum and delight in the art collection at the Borghese Gallery.
Train to Florence
4 nights
Considered the �cradle of the Renaissance,� Florence retains a treasure trove of works by Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Verrocchio, Donatello and Botticelli. Learn from resident professors of art history the development of styles and feast your artistic senses during visits to the National Sculpture Gallery of the Bargello, the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia � where the newly restored David is housed. Learn about the Duomo complex and Brunelleschi's Dome. Savor the sights, smells, and tastes of Florence as you stroll through traffic free streets, visiting markets and sampling gelato just steps away from breathtaking churches.
Train to Venice
4 nights
Journey to Venice via train and then explore the city along its historic and scenic canals. Notice the grandeur of patrician palaces, with arches indicating near-Eastern influence before exploring St. Mark�s Cathedral and the Ducal Palace. On an excursion to the island of Murano observe a master-craftsman shape genuine Venetian glass in a workshop. Docents will illustrate and illuminate the richness of Venetian history, legends, personages, and of course the art. Venice invites you into its maze.
�Dolce far niente,� the �sweetness of doing nothing.� This ode to leisure is a distinctly Italian phrase, and yet the expression does not do justice to the hard-work ethos of the nation�s inhabitants. The monuments, art and civilization bequeathed to the people of modern Italy are a testament to the industry of their forebearers, and the legacy lives on in today�s Italians, who work hard to better enjoy the sweetness of repose.
Rome: Four-star hotel near the Piazza della Repubblica, the Termini train station, and the Rome Opera House. Florence: Four-star hotel was an ex-Franciscan convent from the 15th century and its modern restoration showcases the ancient frescoes, stone arches and vaulted ceilings. Venice: Four-star hotel with a terrace and private dock on the Grand Canal.

Imagine yourself attending dinner with Napoleon and his sister Pauline Borghese, (you will remember her from Canova's statue in the Galleria Borghese.)

Now the palazzo hosts a gala Renaissance dinner, with madrigal singers and musicians, court jester and dancers--all make for a lively entertaining evening. Dress attire is not required.

Mark's Cathedral, built during the 13 C., shows Byzantine influence. There are more than 45,000 sq. ft. of mosaics adorning the church, giving the impression of streets of gold. The Ducal Palace next door was the seat of civic and political power. Doges embellished the palace to demonstrate their wealth and importance. There are murals by Tintoretto and Veronese.
At local restaurant.

Best Teahouse (2005)
Belle & Maxwell's
Ladies who shop and then lunch have enjoyed leisurely afternoon tête-à-têtes at Belle and Maxwell's for years; it's time they scooched over their Chanel-clad fannies and made room for the rest of us. In the heart of West Palm's Antique Row, where uniformed chauffeurs keep the Bentley running while Madam dickers over the price of a Louis XIV end table, Belle & Maxwell's is an excellent place to lean back with a pot of Earl Grey and forget for the moment that the social contract is crumbling around us. The space is surpassingly luxe, calme et volupté, full of flowers and plump pillows; a back door opens onto a tiny, sunlit patio. Try the pear and gorgonzola salad ($9), a brie baguette with apple and walnuts ($8), or a slice of homemade quiche with gazpacho ($9), but damn it, don't skimp on the sweets! They're homemade by the ladies who run the place: key lime pound cake, chocolate croissant bread pudding, an almond joy tart, apple praline pie, chocolate espresso truffle cake. Ten bucks buys you a "sampler choice of four." Go get your just desserts. Open Tuesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

You're experiencing some serious déjà vu.
Jack Frost is once again in your living room, lying on your couch, completely unconscious.
Except this time, you know who he is and for a fact that he's extremely ill. Though with exactly what, you're not sure.
And there's no curiosity here. Just fear and panic for the one you love.
You lift off the damp wash towel that you have resting on his forehead. It needs to be changed.
You lay your free hand on his head, checking his temperature.
He's still burning up, the same temperature from the last time you had checked it. He's far too warm even for a regular human, let alone for the spirit of winter.
His cheeks are flushed a deep red to match the fever. His lips are parted, each of his breaths shuddering and strained. They're so infrequent sometimes that you will anxiously rest your ear on his chest, listening for his faint heartbeat as your own races.
You refresh the cold towel and place it back on his forehead.
On occasion, he'll mumble something incomprehensible, his head rolling from side to side as he scrunches up in pain.
You are at a complete loss of what to do.
For one, you had no idea that Jack could even bleed. If he was supposed to be able to, in the first place. Or is it something brought on by this out-of-the-blue malady? You have no clue. Based on the day that you first met him, you know that he can be hurt, but recovers at an incredible speed. He is a spirit after all.
You doubt that he is supposed to be able to shed blood, so you attribute this to his affliction.
You fire up your computer and plug Jack's symptoms into your search engine. Maybe the internet can tell you what's going on with him. If what he has is human and can be cured using regular remedies.
You find a few possibilities, but none of them perfectly fit what is going on with Jack. Most of them also involve runs to the hospital, and you can't exactly do that, anyway.
After a few failed attempts to wake him up and get some medicine down his throat, you're left feeling completely helpless.
Tears begin to stream down your face as you gaze upon Jack's limp and sickly figure, wishing you could relieve him of the pain that he is in.
Please Jack, you beg him in your head, as if he can hear your thoughts. Wake up. Tell me what to do. Please don't leave me here, alone. Please…
Knowing that there's nothing else you can do and unable to watch bouts of agony take over him, you walk back outside, wiping the tears from your face.
The bright moon is there to greet you.
MiM, you call out to it telepathically. What do I do? Jack's in trouble, and I'm lost.
You remember the sad smile on the moon's face that you had seen after confessing your own love to Jack.
The same one it wears right now.
You knew, you think, astonished as it dawns upon you. You begin to speak aloud. "You knew this was going to happen! Why didn't you tell us, why didn't you warn us or stop us? You let this happen!"
You feel completely betrayed.
The moon remains silent, still solemnly smiling down upon you.
"You must know what I have to do, then," you continue, anger and disappointment swelling up within you. "Tell me. You owe me that much…You owe him that much after letting this happen to him! Please, talk to me!"
But it doesn't speak a word.
"Fine," you spat. Some help you are, you think to yourself as you head back inside and slip on a jacket and boots. Sitting up there, high in the sky, all high and mighty. You don't really understand what's going on. Thinking you can make the decisions that affect all of us. You're not down here, with us. Here I thought you truly cared and understood. But you obviously don't…
You kiss the top of Jack's head. His hand twitches, as if in response. "I'll be back soon. I'm going to go find some help. Somewhere, somehow…There's gotta be someone out there who knows and will tell what we should do."
You steal a final concerned glance at him before closing the door behind you. You'd hate to leave him in this condition, but you know you'd be of better use searching for a cure instead of hanging around uselessly.
You turn and face the town.
And begin to walk.
A light in a house switches on as you walk past it. You see someone stirring inside. Thinking nothing of it, you continue your trek.
You soon hear small footsteps crunching in the snow behind you.
You turn around to a pair of big, brown, questioning eyes.
"Hello, Jamie," you greet the boy. "What are you doing awake? It's late."
He plays with his hands guiltily, averting his eyes. "I was reading and saw you walk by." He looks up at you, smiling wide. "What're you doing walking around? It's late."
You chuckle and kneel down so you're roughly eye-level with him. Children can always bring a smile to your face, and right now is no exception despite the gravity of the situation that you're in.
"I just thought I'd take a late-night stroll," you lie.
But if there's one certain thing about kids, it's that they can not only offer up the complete truth (no matter how harsh), but they can also catch a bad lie.
"What's wrong, (your name)?" he asks, seeing right through your fib.
You sigh. You've been caught. "Someone very dear to me is in trouble, and I have to find a way to help them."
"I see," he responds, deep in thought. "Who is it? Maybe I can help."
You ruffle his hair. "Not this time, Jamie." You stand back up. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you, anyway. Yes, even you," you finish, stopping him in his tracks before he could argue.
"Aw, all right," he sadly says.
You smile at him. "Now get back to the house and head off to bed. It's too late for little Jamie's to be up and about."
He giggles. "Okay. Good luck on your quest, I hope your friend gets better!"
You laugh slightly at the fact that he just called your search for a cure a "quest." He waves goodbye and runs back into the house.
You lower your own hand, which was also raised in farewell. You turn around and keep walking, feeling more hopeful about your chances after the late-night encounter.
"Protect the children."
You shake away the moon's voice playing back in your head. You can't help but begin to be worried for the kids of the world, as well. For little Jamie.
The Guardians will protect them, you resolve. It's their duty. But why would the moon tell me to do that? But wait. He was talking to me AND Jack. At least, I think he was, based off of what he said at the beginning. Was he telling the both of us to protect the kids from Pitch? Does he not think that the Guardians can do it alone…?
You're so lost in thoughts not only of your odd conversation with the moon but also ones of poor Jack that you don't take notice of your surroundings.
You hear wood creak beneath your foot, snapping you out of your train of thought.
You look up, wondering how in the world you almost ran into a house and didn't notice it.
You're greeted by a familiar old door. With carvings of birds and trees decorating its wooden surface.
A little LED "Open" sign flashes at you from the corner of the window, backed by a warm, welcoming indoor light.
You smile wide, putting your hand on the doorknob.
And you push open the door.

The long-awaited Chapter 39! I'm sorry it took so long to get out, guys. I hope it's worth the wait.
I think we may have to wait a while longer for 40. My illness got progressively worse as I wrote this chapter. I'm barely thinking straight, my head is killing me and I have a minor fever. I need to rest up.

I like this product. BUT, this product always gets damaged by moisture AFTER couple months. ( It is always properly stored and any other products are fine. )

Tastes great and dissolves easily. Not sure of effectiveness because have been only taking a few weeks. Karen
1st time trying
Posted by Reviewer2949741 on Jul 27, 2011
This product has a very strong fruit taste. It can be chewed or left under your tongue. When left under your tongue there is a remainder small glob left that I had to chew. I will probably not buy this again because of the flavor and the glob.
Quite good
Posted by Reviewer2471975 on Jan 24, 2012
Not the best thing I've experienced or a booster that makes my eyes sparkle, but quite good actually. Would be recommending it ... not too strong ;)

Definitely a favorite.
I love this shot! You're pictures are pristine
Very lovely.
do the same shot again, but lose the skirt...xxx
I like the skirt, it's one of the things that makes the image different from a thousand others. Anyway I've already done it before: muse1908.deviantart.com/art/Su…
She found that she could not shed a tear as teardrops are not precious enough to entail the pain she found in her heart and would cheapen the loss. And so she looked across the meadow and wondered how it was that anything could grow in such proximity to a heart as filled with salt and pain as her own. Could the landscape not feel the echoes of her soul's winter.
No need to show everything when a little imagination does the job. Again the background makes this picture a lovely one.
I really like the coloring and lighting in this picture. This is an amazing shot.
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Great pose in a great setting. - Phil
Very well known word to me, since it's Greek!!
Wish you a wonderful weekend!!
Wish you a wonderful weekend!!
All of your beautiful photos seem to tell a story. This one to me told two possible stories. 1. She awaits her love. The new morning kissing the window as she anticipates their first embrace of the new day. 2. She watches as her love departs. She knows that they will have many more nights like the one that has passed. Yet she lingers at the window. Touching the pane lightly, tracing his body as it blends with the morning light.
Amazing work!
You, Muse, are not from this time.
I've been thinking that for years Scott! x
Possible caption "Oh, it's that silly American with the Sony camera again. When did he become our gardner"?
Very thoughtful pose and picture, sweetie.
So "retro"! Very nice.
It's true shot.
Beautiful. I can feel the sadness of your soul as you look through the window.
I know I said things I shouldn't say,
Baby, I hope you're ok...
But I heard things I didn't want to hear,
And baby I'm still ok...
Sad mood but very beautifully done. There is often beauty in sadness, too! Lovely one!
The pose and lighting in this are beautiful. The colour of the skirt reflects the warm tones of the wood, whilst picking up the cool highlights of the outside daylight.
This pic is pure poetry!!! It's art!
You married a master of the art. So did he.
Love the way the dress echoes your long, flowing hair.
Love the way the dress echoes your long, flowing hair.
I want to steal that amazing model.
lovely muse as ever!!
I've seen this somewhere else.
Well... we don´t avoid life by going to desert places. We go there to rest and recharge our batteries to live our lives better later ...
Watching your lover leave in his carriage reflecting on an afternoon of pleasure and passion, an inspiration as always many thanks Muse and of course David.
Beautiful shot. Beautiful model.
Beautiful work ! The mood of the latest photos is amazing!
Although I know this was not a simple photo to take I love the simplicity of it and your other works. Anything more would be a distraction from what I and many others consider to be among the most, if not the, most beautiful model on dA.

Baked German Potato Salad Recipe
4.5 17
What makes this German potato salad so different is that it's sweet instead of tangy. During the holidays, my family has an annual ham dinner, and I always prepare it. The first time I took it to work, people kept coming out of their offices to find out what smelled so good. By lunch, it was gone. Now I make a double batch to take to work! —Julie Myers, Lexington, Ohio
- 12 medium red potatoes (about 3 pounds)
- 8 bacon strips
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2/3 cup water, divided
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 1/3 cup sweet pickle juice
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 4-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- In a saucepan, cook potatoes until just tender; drain. Peel and slice into an ungreased 2-qt. baking dish; set aside.
- In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside. Saute onions in drippings until tender. Stir in the brown sugar, 1/2 cup water, vinegar, pickle juice, parsley, salt and celery seed. Simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine flour and remaining water until smooth; stir into onion mixture. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over potatoes. Add bacon; gently stir to coat. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 8-10 servings.

Average Customer Reviews
To make fans work quietly, manufacturers use slow-running motors to spin the
blades. This reduces noise but also reduces power, producing weak airflow. To
make powerful fans, they use fast motors to spin the blades.
But fast motors create more noise. Powerful and quiet is very difficult to
achieve in a conventional fan. The new Dyson Cool™ AM07 tower fans have
been engineered to be quieter, consume less energy and have streamlined air
channels for reduced airflow turbulence to be 60% quieter than AM02 – yet
generate powerful airflow.

Warranty Information:
*Assumes up to 6% savings in air conditioning costs for every degree Fahrenheit

Also assumes elevated air speed may offset increase in air temperature by up
to five degrees (See ASHRAE Standard 55-2004-Thermal Environmental Conditions
for Human Occupancy). Air multiplier must be used in conjunction with and in
close proximity to air conditioning ventilation output in each room to recognize
savings benefit. Actual savings may vary based on use and other factors.

Exactly what I was looking for. Cool design. I almost bought the fan just to prove that the design really worked better than traditional fans. Assembly was easy, my teenage son had it unpacked an working in a few minutes. Works as advertised. Fan is powerful yet almost silent. Love the remote with timer shutoff feature. We turn it on to cool down at bedtime. Unlike other fans, it doesn't wake us up in the middle of the night nor do we pay for leaving the fan on all night. Well designed eco friendly packaging. Customer service is also excellent. The ring base was missing from our package. I called the number and a new piece was arrived in a few days. It was the right color and fit perfectly. Well done Dyson!

Fan is pretty, looks really nice in a room. BUT, if you put it above a 3 it's VERY NOISY .... ALSO, the remote if really small, it's hard to feel the buttons to adjust fan. ALSO, the remote must be pointed towards the bottom of the fan for it to work. so if you're in bed and want to adjust the fan, you have to GET UP, and point the remote at the bottom of the fan for it to work. Most fans have this feature at the top of the fan, this way you can just point and adjust or turn off or on. You can't just point from anywhere in the room and expect it to work, you have to be RIGHT ON TOP of the fan and it has to be pointed down at the bottom for the remote to work. Bad design. Oh, did I say it's pretty? Lot of money for this big problem in my opinion!

Comments about Dyson AM07 Bladeless Blue Tower Fan:
It's a great product. I just wish the instructions were more clear as to whether or not the product should or shouldn't appear lopsided when assembling the product because for the longest time, the product leanded just by me following the instructions completely. It wasn't until later that I looked at it and gave it a re-twist. Plus they aren't clear enough as to which pieces of tape are which color and whether or not the rubber banding on the base should in fact be left there. I just guessed and left it there. I guess I did the right thing because it works great. Only thing I could ask for is for it to be slightly stronger but that's only during intense heat waves. A breeze to clean and a great product overall. Thanks.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love this 'fan'

Excellent design and function. Cleaning couldn't be easier. The only design elements that could be improved in order of annoyance: 1. Oscillation must be turned on at each power on. Should be toggle that retains former setting. 2. Power button on very bottom of unit. 3. LED Status display always on if unit is on. White and rather bright. Buy it you'll love it too!
By cguy1
It is so easy to use and it is very quiet and it really cools.
Beyond expections
By cool70
After using other tower fans I decided to purchase the Dyson. I was concerned as to if it would live up to the advertised hype. It was better than I expected. The Dyson fan stands alone among other tower fans in quality and performance. I only wish it was about six inches higher.
A Great Product
By timfb
We use the phone overnight every day . It provide cool circulation for the entire room. The rotate feature distributes the air evenly and quietly. It is safe, easy to use, easy to clean. I wish the settings were a little easier to read but I charge that to my eyesight not the fan. Excellent product
Love, love, love this fan.
By lovelyshell
I don't think I've ever felt so good about spending so much money on such an object but the Dyson fan is so far superior than any other fan. I compared a basic tower fan next to a Dyson on a particularly scorching Southern California heat wave day and the difference was amazing. Literally cool air blows from the Dyson reach beyond the capacity of the tower fan. Its quiet, easy to move to a different room. I already had a Dyson heater I thought was great but this fan is even better than the heater. This was a life changer during the heat of September, I bought it out of desperation in the middle of the night and it was the best decision.
Excellent Fan
By double
At first I was not sure I wanted to spend that much on a fan, but after turning it on, it was worth every penny. Very quiet, and powerful, and does not take up much room. Thank you Dyson
AM07 Tower Fan
By Tink32
This product is great! Works wonderful. Very easy to maintain and clean. This is the second Dyson product we've purchased next to our vacuum. Worth having it!
Outstanding performance
By Ricardo76
We have 3 tower fans and we thought that the others were great, this fan absolutely makes our others seem not to be working as they do not move the amount of air that our Dyson does. My main reason for liking this fan is because it is so quiet I can set next it and still hear and enjoy the TV. Best tower fan you can buy ,I think.
tower Fan
By red65vettetx
Fan is very quiet and the air flow is excellent. No blades to clean which is a concern with other fans as they can be sharp.

Juan writes that his granddaughter has a cute little digital picture frame marketed to children. He tried to hook it up to his computer to load some pictures on it for her, and couldn't get it to cooperate with his computer. Juan tried to connect the picture frame using both Windows 7 and Vista, both of which the product's marketing materials claim are compatible operating systems. Only…not so much. "Sometimes the program works and sometimes it doesn't," an employee helpfully told Juan after asking if he has a Windows XP system lying around. [More]

Michaelsoft Binbows Is Japanese For "Get A Cheap PC Here"
We have no idea who first posted this picture, but
just to set the record straight, the sign is using a bilingual pun
on the Japanese word è²§ä¹ (binbo) which can be translated as
"poor." It's apparently promoting a store that sells cheap PCs and
computer parts, though we do kind of like the sound of "binbows,"
and may just start using that around the office when we want to
refer to Michaelsoft's flagship product. Or other products that are
deemed worthy of such an appellation.

Picture: R&B star Usher, unshaven and wearing dark sunglasses is seen outside The May Fair Hotel London, England - 10.10.10
R&B singer Usher was completely starstruck when he met Robert De Niro for the first time - he rushed over to the Hollywood actor and declared his love for him.
The Yeah! hitmaker was enjoying a night out partying with his pal Leonardo DiCaprio recently when he spotted the Goodfellas star in the same venue.
And Usher was so taken aback by seeing De Niro, he spent the evening lavishing praise on the actor.
He tells Britain's Marie Claire magazine, "I was starstruck the other night when I met Robert De Niro for the first time. (I told him) that I love him and think he's incredible. Me and Leonardo DiCaprio were at a club and I went over to him and introduced myself.
"I love sitting with people who are smart and have a vast understanding of life because I wanna know more. Who he is as a businessman and what he's done with his real estate, his taste, his lifestyle."

Pronunciación: /ˈflɛmɪŋ/
Definición de Fleming en inglés:
1A native of Flanders.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- In the years after the conquest, Normans, Flemings, Bretons, and other Frenchmen also took key posts as bishops and abbots in a Church which underwent major reform in the years after 1070.
- His mission was to resurrect the folklore of medieval Flanders, of its freemen, its prosperous cities, and its Burgundian history, and in 1856 he published the Popular Songs of French Flemings.
- Finally, he established eighteen burghs, mainly in the south-east, mainly associated with royal fortresses, and mainly peopled by foreigners: English or Flemings.
2A member of the Flemish-speaking people inhabiting northern and western Belgium. Compare with Walloon.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Dutch was to survive there as a conglomeration of deviant dialects spoken by a chiefly rural people, the Flemings, while the affairs of state were conducted solely in French.
- Most readers were probably hazy about Flemish and the Flemings, and French is the language of the trading company that Marlow has joined.
- Both the Flemings and Walloons revolted against Dutch rule, and the new Kingdom of Belgium was established in 1830 as a constitutional monarchy.
Late Old English Flæmingi, from Old Norse, reinforced by Middle Dutch Vlāming, related to Vlaanderen 'Flanders'.

If it weren't for a shamelessly dishonest, hyper-protective liberal media, the American people would know, unanimously and without doubt, that Obamanomics is killing American jobs. There is no silver lining in the December jobs numbers.
Experts and analysts were expecting this latest jobs report, released Friday, to show 200,000 new payroll jobs in December, but there were only 74,000, which is 37 percent of the goal. Not 90 percent, not 80, not 70, not even 50 percent. Just 37 percent.
If these abominable numbers had occurred under George W. Bush's watch, the GOP would have had hell to pay for decades. But liberal presidents always get a pass in the form of wildly far-fetched excuses and rationalizations for their failed policies.
Attentive minds, however, will not be fooled. As the liberal media live by the dishonest rationalization, so they must die by it, as well. With the help of sympathetic economists, they have been whitewashing Obama's perennially anemic economy as being in "recovery" for 52 months now.
"Recovery" is supposedly an economic term of art indicating that economic conditions are improving at an acceptable pace, but if professional economists insist that their discipline requires them to describe what we've seen the past 52 months as a "recovery," then the term is meaningless. But it gives cover to Obama's media enablers -- and, of course, to Obama. After all, if we have been in a recovery for almost all of Obama's tenure, doesn't that mean that he long ago lost the right to credibly claim that this "mess" is Bush's fault? Here again, his media megaphones have done his dirty work.
Those who insist on calling what we're seeing now a recovery should be aware that we're aware that 74,000 jobs are not even enough to keep up with America's population growth. They should also know that we know that more than four years into this "recovery," some 4 million Americans have been unemployed for more than 26 weeks, which is almost twice the number we saw at the worst point of the most recent recession.
Now let me tell you about the other "shoe" of this story, which we are not waiting to be dropped -- because it has already dropped with a resounding thud. Though the unemployment rate has fallen from 9.5 percent to 6.7 percent in this glorious 52-month period, 100 percent of this decline -- not 90 percent, not 80, not 70, not 50, not 37 percent but every single molecule of it -- was the result not of a growing job market but of 7.4 million potential workers leaving the workforce.

The Segway tour was waaaayyyy worth every penny. The Segway is very fun to ride on. We did the early morning tour which was 2.5 hours and I wish we had another 2.5 hours!!! It felt like we saw all of San Antonio. There were lots of history, photo ops and places to race your Segway.
The tour guides were awesome! They recommended restaurants and attractions as well. They provided water and had great attitudes. If you're thinking about a Segway tour....... DO IT!!!!

Just an other day by BluefleyWatch
©2006-2016 BluefleyMature Content
I dunno whats going on with me lately, but i keep drawing creepy and sad stuff...
Anyways! This quicky took about 1-2 hours in ps.
It's a pretty sad drawing, about a prostitute doing her daily routine. This one tho, never chose to do this job, she was forced by the ppl who bought her when she was a baby. But she's had enough, and she wont come back the day after, since she probably wont be alive anymore..
WTF i need to get back to drawing my usual stuff!

WTF i need to get back to drawing my usual stuff!
I had this +fav'd from ages and ages ago, but lookin' at the content I realize it's not something I'd be proud of having in my Favorites.
Still a very well drawn and emotionally charged piece though!
Still a very well drawn and emotionally charged piece though!
awesome draw !
Aww so sad breaks my heart, great work.
that is sad. great drawing. hopefully she finds her way home and will still be alive
Come back tomorrow. I'll give you a sandwich and you will give me....
Sorry had to say it.
Sorry had to say it.
That's sad, bro.
that is pretty deep and sad...
WOW. This is really deep.
So beautiful...
Very unlikely story. The VAST majority of prostitutes around the orld chose their life, and are paid very well compared to the average person in their respective country, even those rare few who have pimps. This is true as far as european and most asian countries go, I cannot speak for africa or south america.
it depends on the country we're talking about. In France and Italy for exemple that's almost the contrary. France and Italia are in Europe the "Ideal country" for immigrants , and a lot of eastern girls (from bielorussia, romania , etc...) are told that they will have a new life in those countries but in the end their papers get stolen and they are forced to end up as prostitues.
You've been lied to.
I know this comment is old, but I just felt like I must say that he wasn't lied to.
The girls from other countries, and males too, are forced to become prostitutes, because their papers get stolen and in 20% of cases even ripped.
The girls from other countries, and males too, are forced to become prostitutes, because their papers get stolen and in 20% of cases even ripped.
Again, you've been lied to, in that this is NOT a serious issue, nor a common occurance. Focus on fixing the most dangerous evils in the world before trying to "save" people from themselves and their own poor decisions.
I have NOT been lied to. I LIVE in one of the most targeted countries, and I KNOW what I'm talking about. I see almost everyday cases of girls forced to prostitute in other countries, and I even know a male that was forced into prostitution because his documents have been stolen.
Forced you say? Do you have a different definition of "Forced" from the one I have?
Unless they are chained in a basement(In which case I would wonder how you came across these prostitutes) And have firearms pointed at them at all times, unless that's the case, they CHOSE prostitution as an easy route to make money, as other routes are more difficult. ALso they were idiots to lose their papers, there are safequards to PREVENT this from happening.
I could explain it all in detial, but I want to see if you have the intellectual honesty to do some homework, I'll even tell you what to google.
1) how to protect you travel documents
2) What to do when you lose your passport
3) PRotecting your own personal information.
Hell, you should have a backup passport in your home country in case shit hits the fan, you can make a simple phone call to a friend, roommate or relative and they can fax or mail your information to the travel information in that country.
These "victims" you met, are liars, and sam artists, (possibly illegal immigrants to your nation) who want you to pity them, either for monitary or emotional gain. That or they're complete and total idiots who should be shown this information, they could return home within a week.
VAST majority... but there is a minority.
Also, the world can be so much more beautiful or so much worse than any of us realize it is.
Sad... But simply beautiful. I love the way her eyes welled up with tears. You can feel the hurt and angst in her. Wonderful job!
Sad how some go into prostitution and never come out D": Wonderful artwork though ^^
Makes me want to save her.
So brillant... Can feel the sadness
aw.. the emotion and expression of er face is amazing... so sad
This is a very emotional piece since it emphasizes the suffering of those whom are probably ignored.
Keep up the good work
Keep up the good work
That's sad....
This is so creepy.. ;(
Nobody else catch that number on the door?
I hate people who do such stuff as abduct kids and make a prostitutes out of em. Seriously it should be legal to kill such assholes.
This subject may be sad, but its a truth of this world. You should be proud to reveal to the world problems that need to be fixed. Nicely done!
Not to be childish, but the door number is 69 (I giggled). Great drawing.
Oh ill cum back alright *wink* *wink*
Very nice, I love your draw and the way you explained the story. So sad it's a reality in the world..
Great colours and a strong sense of story; well done!
Thought provoking, I like it.
we can only think and feel, what we perceive, we can only draw what our mind is attuned to...
So many emotions in that piece.... Congratulations.
i like this one the most, out of all of the other pictures. nice job with the stories and pics.
He just HAAAD to live in apartment 69 right??!!!

Care to elaborate on those fiscal policies?
No need. Theyll never be enacted.
The quick overview:
Defaulting on debt, cutting funding to public schools, cutting foreign aid....and many, many more.
Defaulting on debt -- Not sure what you are referring to?
cutting funding to public schools -- If you have debt and your programs cost more than what is being taken in then what do you do? Especially , if the programs are not working very well despite the money given them already?
cutting foreign aid -- If you can't afford to pay for yourself should you be borrowing to pay for others?
....and many, many more

Ron Paul will not split the party, the GOP is doing that to itself .
Like Paul said, he has no plans to run third party.
If the party ignores Paul at the convention, its the party that will cause the split.

I've speculated before. I think it's more a possibility that Rand Paul will be on the ticket, but I still believe that Ron Paul would be somewhere on the shortlist. Romney needs to ensure a strong unified GOP, he doesn't need to worry about the tea partiers, but those Paul supporters are fanatical, and they may verywell take up to 10% of the GOP pie, Romney can't afford to lose a portion of the GOP's support, he just can't.

The GOPs current agenda would be better severed with Obama in office than with Paul. That's my opinion at least.

Chrenkoff is the Man
Arthur Chrenkoff celebrates his first blogiversary today. A Polish immigrant to Australia, his blogsite shows the promise of the blogosphere. It doesn't matter your nationality or physical location – if you have something to say that people find worthwhile, they will find you.
Chrenkoff's Good News from Iraq within his blog has been so original that the WSJ has picked it up. Chrenkoff had 1,734,900 visitors to his blogsite in his first year. He has one of those sites that makes you wonder how one guy can get so much done in his free time.
As he regularly points out, Good News from Iraq is not meant to sugarcoat the war. Instead it is meant to give one perspective left out by the mainstream media. Instead of a daily update on the American body count, and then a dash back to the latest on the Michael Jackson trial – Chrenkoff dives deep into available information sources and pulls together all of the news that is positive in Iraq to see what this collectively might tell us. It is a unique perspective and it makes you think. This concept could probably be applied to other areas of the news as well.
This is an example of the blogosphere rewriting the rules of how information is disseminated around the world. This is not meant to replace the mainstream media; it is to give alternative perspectives on world events. And it is a breath of fresh air – indeed a new kind of emerging freedom – and it will be fascinating to see where the blogosphere takes us.
