What happened to simair in the meantime? Are you guys still working on it or is it being delayed? I suppose that some technology from Essential will be used in simair or vice versa? If you can give us a heads up, would love to know how it's progressing!
Ok so I can stop refreshing

VRS Superbug and random screens
dikkeduif posted a topic in FSX ScreenshotsDecided this week to buy the VRS F18 superbug, what a beast! I'm still learning but I managed to make my first carrier landing in a flight simulator (maybe I'm lying here, I've probably did them before in Janes ATF and Us navy fighters ). Never really bothered with carrier landings, but now I really enjoy doing them. Also downloaded the T45, which is such a nice free jet!
REX Essential - UPDATE
dikkeduif replied to timest999's topic in General DiscussionDon't blame REX for doing it right. I'd rather wait for a release which is as bug free as possible than to install something which is only half baked. Yes yes, there are many companies out there that instead of releasing a stable version they release something which is actually in a beta state, but I don't think we should encourage such behaviour. Take your time REX
Announcing REX Essential!
dikkeduif replied to timest999's topic in REX3 | Essential Plus/Overdrive for FSX, FSX:SE, and PREPAR3DWow great news, looking forward to this!
How is development going on simair? Anything to be revealed this week?
Any plans for XP-10 clouds and water ?
dikkeduif replied to strider's topic in General DiscussionJust makes me wonder why the makers of xplane don't contact the REX makers in the first place. REX should be standard. Why waste resources on trying to do it yourself if you know you can't do it well enough.

We stayed one night mid-week in September. There are only a few sites with water & electric. Many sites have electric and most are dry camping only. All sites have a view of the lake.
It's located right off of Hwy 31 but there is a lengthy dirt road to the main gate. It's still big-rig friendly but maybe not for the high-end motor coaches.
Owner is friendly, helpful and made his rounds in the evening. Great rate for PA members. - Craig H

Lake is larger than it appears on Website. Horseback riding and Golf is right across the street at Double JJ resort which is in Rothbury. A store is right down the road and the town of Montague is very close for shopping or canoeing. The lake has a lot of lakefront sites, but many of them don't have a lot of shade so you have to think about how the shade moves with the suns movements to get a shady spot. Also has more shady private sites off the lake and a large group area with several nice sites with electric grouped together. Clean fire rings, clean everything. Very clean porta-potties everywhere. Very clean campground. Only two shower stalls but clean and adequate as this new campground is not very busy yet. Really nice roped off sandbar swimming area in the middle of lake is connected to a peninsula so you have a nice safe place for swimming with little ones. Also a floating swim dock with a ramp that you can jump off into the deep side, a fishing dock, and two floating volley ball courts. Nice sandy bottom lake with small beach areas in front of most all of the lake front sites. A road goes around the campground in a circle which is great for bike rides. Also has a bike trail towards the front of the campground and another trail towards the back. Only ice, wood, and inner tubes for rent available on site. There is a store is right down the street. Close to Michigan's Adventure. Lots of wildlife and catch and release no license fishing. Only small no gas motor boats allowed. The only thing we did not like was a bit of highway noise at night after all the birds and crickets calm down. Beautiful night sky. No frills, but it has that back woods nature feel with lots of blueberry plants everywhere and lots of privacy because there are a Lot of sites. Saw a crane living right in front of our camper on the water. - csunbean

There were no signs at our (northbound) exit for this County Park. We had to rely on our GPS which isn't always correct. When we did arrive near the end of Meinert Road, there was a sign for us to turn right into the campground. We noticed most campsites were occupied by fifth wheels and trailers, probably by seasonals for use during weekends. We stayed here mid-week and we were about the only people in the campground. This campground offers 67 campsites with water, electric and sewer hookups. It has a modern bathroom with showers and a sanitary dump station. Ice and firewood are offered for sale.
All sites were well maintained and not trashy. We selected a grassy site with 30 amp service as most 50amp sites were taken. There are lots of trees but we were very lucky to get satellite service, although we frequently lost the signal. We had no service for our MYFI or our cell phone but the campground does have WIFI.
We were disappointed that the camping area was about ¼ mile from Lake Michigan. The day use was at the end of the road at the beach. This campground was okay but a little out of our way for short stays, therefore we probably would not stay here again. - gatordan

This is a wonderful city owned campground. There are a large number of seasonal campers but they are some of the nicest and quietest that we have encountered. The only campground negatives are that the sites are not real large and not all of the sites are shaded (ours was shaded). Sites are gravel with a concrete patio. No campfires permitted on site which cuts down on smoke; there is a community fire pit with wood provided. Even though the park is right in town, it is very quiet. The short-term sites are in the back section of the campground. The bathrooms are very clean and well maintained. Cable TV takes a proprietary cable box for which you must sign that you will be responsible for it (no deposit requested); we could only receive three TV stations without the cable. No credit cards taken so reservation deposits must be mailed and balance paid with cash or check. Wi-Fi was very good. Extensive bike trails and wetlands are adjacent to the campground, as are a grocery store and an ice cream stand. We definitely will return and maybe stay longer the next time! - RXA-ADM

We had a great space near the greenway, I think #52. We were able to get satellite in spite of all the trees, we just pulled forward in our space. They are close together but the convenient location makes up for it. Our front windshield looked out to beautiful marshes behind the greenway trail. The grass was lush and abundant for the dogs, they were ecstatic! We had a few mosquitos at night. The town is sweet, Saturday farmers market was wonderful. Right next to a good supermarket, ice cream parlour and coffee shops. Really enjoyed a few days here and plenty of water activities and golf nearby. I recommend this park if you can get a site near the front of the park. Mostly seasonal rigs in the back and interior. Seems to be very well run. - gardener

Many different sites available. Electric and water are popular. Good level full hookups. Wi-Fi very weak and sites are controlled to limit traffic. Had to use smart phone for email and trip planning. Hiking trails are good, and canoe/kayak/tube livery is close and excellent. Very friendly and helpful staff. A well established park (I used it in 1978) and they continue with improvements and new sites. - Hornman
Jun 2013 - $41.00
We really enjoyed this park. We had a site right on the creek and kids played in it all day long. They also have a decent sized pool, playground, basketball court, fishing lake nearby, small arcade, and small camp store. It is a large campground that is spread out into smaller sections which makes it seem smaller than what it actually is. Our site by the creek was quiet. There is quite a bit of shade and nice sized lots. It is 15 minutes away from Lake Michigan. Montague and Whitehall are both very nice, quaint towns. It is on White River so if you like to canoe it would be perfect. - focchick
Aug 2012 - $42.00
Campground staff was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful location and well appointed sites. Our site (201) was generous in size and well shaded. Very kid friendly with nice playground and pool area. However, pool was FREEZING and not heated as advertised. Luckily, we were there on a warm day so we made it work. We were able to get good TV reception but very weak signal on the Wi-Fi. Overall we really liked the park and would go back. - family_5ers

According to the Arizona Department of Education, the Tucson Unified School District's Mexican-American studies curriculum is in violation of state law. The DOE of Arizona has therefore ordered that funding for the ethnic studies program be cut, an action that has provoked the ire of some of the district's residents.
Students in California public schools may not be leading the nation in their knowledge of the "three R's," but they are well on their way to being experts in deviant lifestyles. Under a law signed last year by Gov. Jerry Brown (D), all public schools in the state are now required to promote homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality, and same-sex "marriage" at every grade level, including kindergarten — and to do so without parental consent or even notification.
"Put down that sausage, pepperoni, and extra cheese, son, and no one will get hurt." Words to that effect were spoken to 10-year-old Nicholas Taylor, a student at David Youree Elementary School in Smyrna, Tennessee, when he committed the unpardonable offense of pretending that a half-eaten slice of pizza was a gun and, in the words of school district spokesman James Evans, "threatening" other students with it.
A religious liberty case involving candy canes, pens, and pencils with Christian messages — which has been dragging on for eight long years — has finally made its way to the highest court in the land. The conservative legal advocacy group Liberty Institute is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hold school districts accountable that violate the free speech rights of students who wish to express their religious faith in school.
Arizona's Administrative Law Judge Lewis Kowal determined on December 27 that the Tucson Public School District's Mexican-American Studies Program violated state law. In his opinion, the judge stated that a fair presentation of historical and cultural materials was permissible, but that what this program represented was different: "Teaching oppression objectively is quite different than actively presenting material in a biased, political and emotionally charged manner," he pointed out.

Memorial Day
I just want to wish ever one a pleasant Memorial Day with their loved ones....
I also hope that people will think of the real reason for this day of celebration as they munch their burgers and steaks. As I laid a wreath on my brothers 10 day old grave this morning, I looked across the fields at the National Military Cemetary at all of the white crosses standing .....
The view takes one breath away at the stark reality of the sacifices they made and it makes instant tears for us veteran family members....
My deepest and sincerest thank you to every one of our soldiers both living and passed, for their service to our nation. :thumbsup:
Happy Memorial Day to everyone as well! And thank you for explaining. It is not national hotdog day people :wink:

text: Affordable Care Act New Health Care Rule Could Be Costly To University Of Illinois By Jim Meadows • Aug 31, 2015 uillinois.edu The University of Illinois is grappling with a requirement of the Affordable Care Act that takes effect in 2016. Effective January 1st, the university will have to offer health insurance to ALL employees working 30 hours a week or more. That will include some 23-hundred so-called contingent or temporary employees who don't qualify for the healthcare that other state workers receive. Little Evidence For Obamacare As 'Job-Killer' By Brian Mackey • Aug 19, 2015 Bill Ingalls / NASA (flickr.com/nasahqphotos) A pair of economists have put one of the central claims of Obamacare opponents to the test: Is Obamacare a job-killer? We hear the answer in the latest episode of the State of the State podcast. State Week: Countdown To (Fiscal) New Year By Brian Mackey & Amanda Vinicky & Chris Mooney & Kurt Erickson • Jun 26, 2015 The week began with a complete budget proposal — albeit billions out of balance — awaiting action by the governor. It ended with a near-total veto. Only money for pre-school, elementary and secondary education was spared the knife. But could that actually worsen the state bidget standoff? Patients Pay Price For State's Half-Hearted Embrace of Obamacare By Jamey Dunn • Jun 25, 2015 The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, KFF State Health News Analysis - It's no secret that many Illinois Democrats have been reluctant to throw their full support behind President Barack Obama's signature health care law. And Republicans at the state level are not going to get behind a law that their party counterparts in the U.S. House have voted dozens of times to repeal. As a result, those seeking insurance in the state have been handed a mixed bag of policy. Supreme Court Ruling Means Illinois Residents Can Keep Insurance Subsidies By Jamey Dunn • Jun 25, 2015 The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, KFF State Health Following today's ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court, Illinois residents who bought health insurance under the affordable care act will get to keep tax credits that cut the cost of their plans. Listen Listening... / 0:49 Life Preserver – Obamacare Expands Access To Mental Health Care By Rhonda Gillespie • May 1, 2015 Brian Mackey / WUIS/Illinois Issues Dawn Kelly takes seven medications daily to treat her bipolar disorder. She has been on the meds since her 2011 diagnosis. Had it not been for a switch over from one Medicaid plan to another, the 40-year-old mother, who lives in East Peoria, would likely be dead. Federal Health Care Subsidies Could Be At Risk For Illinois Residents By Jamey Dunn • Nov 17, 2014 flickr/ThomasAnderson The U.S. Supreme court has agreed to take up a case that could put the Affordable Care Act in jeopardy. But health care advocates in the state are still urging residents to check out their options as the second enrollment period for Obamacare is underway. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether federal subsidies can be given to residents in states, like Illinois, that did not create their own online marketplaces. In the meantime, subsidies to help cover the cost of insurance will still be available. Quinn Lauds Affordable Care Act, Backs Down From State Marketplace By Amanda Vinicky • Oct 1, 2014 flickr In recognition of the first anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, Gov. Pat Quinn is touting its success, while at the same time backing away from having Illinois take a greater role in the program. At first, Gov. Quinn was all about Illinois creating its own "exchange" -- a technical word for the portal where people can shop for coverage. Instead, insurance companies and healthcare advocates couldn't agree on how to set one up. Timid lawmakers, afraid to look like they were embracing Obamacare ahead of the 2012 election, didn't help either. Editor's Note: Patients Pay the Price for State's Half-Hearted Embrace of Obamacare By Jamey Dunn • Sep 1, 2014 mattpenning.com 2014 / WUIS/Illinois Issues It's no secret that many Illinois Democrats have been reluctant to throw their full support behind President Barack Obama's signature health care law.

As a result, those seeking insurance in the state have been handed a mixed bag of policy. Durbin Files Legislation Reacting To Hobby Lobby Decision By Hannah Meisel • Jul 23, 2014 Hannah Meisel / WUIS U.S. Senator Dick Durbin wants companies exempt from offering birth control in their healthcare plans to make that known to potential employees. It's a response to the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court last month, which determined certain business owners don't have to pay for contraceptives that violate their religious beliefs. These so-called "closely held" companies — typically small, family owned businesses — are exempt from the Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate. Illinois Health Campaign Among Nation's Costliest By AP: Carla Johnson • Jun 12, 2014 healthcaregov.net The campaign to promote President Barack Obama's health care law in his home state of Illinois has been one of the nation's costliest with a $33million contract for work by high-priced public relations experts. An Associated Press review of hundreds of documents finds more than 90 people billed at least $270 an hour under a contract with few built-in restraints. Ill. Medicaid Recipients Surge As Adults Find They're Eligible By Brian Mackey • Apr 29, 2014 Karen Roach/iStockphoto.com Illinois officials are dealing with a surge of new patients in the Medicaid program. It's part of last month's rush of people seeking coverage under the Affordable Care Act. For the first time, low-income adults without children are eligible for government health coverage. In Illinois, officials expect that'll mean 350,000 new people in Medicaid. And that's not all. Julie Hamos, director of the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, says the news reports and advertising and community outreach around the Obamacare deadline led to a separate spike. "Making Sense Of Obamacare" Lecture At UIS By Sean Crawford • Apr 14, 2014 Brandeis.edu Ted Marmor has studied the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The author and Professor Emeritus at Yale sees both good and bad with the new law. "My overall view is simple. That it's a very confusing piece of legislation, not very well explained," he said. "It perpetuates the cost and complexity of American medical care. But it makes some improvement in the availability of health insurance and the protection of some Americans from being devastated by expensive hospital stays and expensive pharmaceutical treatment." Debate Over Opting Out Of Health Insurance For Religious Reasons By Randy Eccles • Apr 2, 2014 Here & Now recently spoke with U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock of Illinois about a bill he sponsored called The Equitable Access to Care and Health Act (EACH). Young People, Medicaid Concerns As Obamacare Deadline Looms By Hannah Meisel • Mar 24, 2014 opensource on Flickr With one week left to sign up for the Affordable Care Act, Illinois' enrollment numbers are on track to meet their goals. But, many newly covered Illinoisans aren't actually buying private insurance. About 114,000 people in Illinois have bought insurance under Obamacare. But 200,000 more have been signed up for Medicaid, the state's healthcare program for the poor. Although the number of Medicaid enrollees is larger than the pool of people who've bought insurance, officials say they're not worried. State Health Panel Wants To See Expansion Of Health Jobs By Bill Wheelhouse • Mar 10, 2014 WUIS A state panel has released nearly two dozen recommendations to deal with the increase in patients expected under the Affordable Care Act. However, some of those ideas will be hard to get approved. Lucore named St. John's CEO By Lee Strubinger • Feb 13, 2014 prairieheart.com St. John's new CEO says the Springfield hospital will face many challenges as a result of the Affordable Care Act ... like changes in Medicare reimbursement -- which now rewards keeping patients out of hospitals. Dr. Charles Lucore's appointment was announced Thursday. Area Man Signs Up For Health Insurance Via Satire Website By Amanda Vinicky • Feb 10, 2014 Get Covered Illinois A new banner of ads will top The Onion website. This is the state's latest effort to get young people to sign up for insurance through the Affordable Care Act. The Onion is known for its satire, but this is no joke. As the Affordable Care Act's March 31 deadline approaches, Illinois officials are trying to get a demographic they call the "Young Invincibles" to sign up. ACA Navigator Program Under Question By Lee Strubinger • Feb 6, 2014 ilga.gov Republicans are calling for a review of the state's management of Affordable Care Act navigators. Lee Strubinger has the report. Another Affordable Care Act Deadline This Week By Amanda Vinicky • Jan 13, 2014 It has been roughly two weeks since the first batch of consumers who signed up for the Affordable Care Act have been able to use their insurance. There's another deadline this week. Consumers who signed up for insurance through the Affordable Care Act by Christmas saw their new benefits kick in Jan. 1. There's no telling how many Illinois residents that is: the government hasn't released enrollment numbers for December. But insurers and so-called navigators, who are charged with helping people sign up, reported a last-minute rush. Schock Blames Insurance Mandates For Premium Hikes By Amanda Vinicky • Nov 12, 2013 Amanda Vinicky After Republicans' efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act did not work, Congressman Aaron Schock says lawmakers need to lift requirements on insurance policies. Today (Nov. 11) he toured his district, in an attempt to prove his point. Congressman Aaron Schock, R - Peoria, says the Affordable Care Act was supposed to make health insurance more affordable, "and yet millions of Americans are seeing their health insurance do exactly the opposite -- and that is to go up." Government Shutdown Early Campaign Fodder By Amanda Vinicky • Oct 1, 2013 U.S. House A day into the federal government shutdown, it's already turning into campaign fodder for next year's election. Congressman Rodney Davis is facing competition from both sides as he aims to hold onto his central Illinois seat. The Taylorville Republican is looking at a primary challenge from former Miss America Erika Harold; three candidates are trying for the Democratic nomination: University of Illinois physicist George Gollin, U of I social policy analyst David Green and former Madison County Chief Judge Ann Callis. Health Law Could Reduce Incarceration Rates By Sean Powers • Oct 1, 2013 flickr/sideonecincy Tuesday marks the launch of state health insurance exchanges, a major part of the Affordable Care Act. Among the many changes likely after the new health coverage takes effect: Fewer people behind bars. During a recent expo put on by the Illinois Department of Corrections in Champaign, Jeff Rinderle of the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District talked with parolees and former prison inmates transitioning into civilian life about the Affordable Care Act. Insurance Plan Prices Under ACA Unveiled By Amanda Vinicky • Oct 1, 2013 The most visible part of the Affordable Care Act has arrived. Today, Illinois residents without insurance will be able to go to the "Get Covered Illinois" website to begin shopping for healthcare plans. Saving Lives: Affordable Health Care Act Isn't Just About Insurance; It May Prevent Premature Deaths By Debra Landis • Oct 1, 2013 WUIS/Illinois Issues Officials involved with health care in Illinois say a bad economy, job layoffs and the high cost of medical insurance contributed to thousands of Illinoisans going uninsured in recent years — and one study asserts that nearly 5,000 Illinoisans died between 2005 and 2010 because they didn't have health insurance. Healthcare Marketplace To Be Called 'Get Covered Illinois' By Associated Press • Sep 25, 2013 Illinois officials have decided on a brand name for the new health insurance marketplace set to open Tuesday. Gov. Pat Quinn's administration unveiled the name Wednesday: It's "Get Covered Illinois.'' The brand tagline is "The Official Health Marketplace.'' Deputy Gov. Cristal Thomas says the administration wanted a name that was "very clear about what this product has to offer.'' ACA Insurance Plans May Be Cheaper, But At What Cost? By Amanda Vinicky • Sep 24, 2013 flickr Although the grand opening of the Affordable Care Act is only a week away, Illinois is still waiting on the federal government to approve the insurance plans that will be available through it. Even so, the governor today announced it will cost less to get coverage than originally expected. Illinois submitted 165 different insurance plans to the federal government. Until the feds sign off on them, it's impossible for someone looking to buy insurance from the Obamacare "marketplace" to know how much they should plan to spend. Obamacare Could Be Tough Sell In Rural Areas By Grant Gerlock • Sep 24, 2013 Grant Gerlock/Harvest Public Media The Affordable Care Act, often called "Obamacare," takes a big step forward Oct. 1 when new health insurance marketplaces open for enrollment. Rural families are more likely to qualify for subsidized coverage, but reaching them to sign up will be part of the challenge. So, will farm country take advantage of new health insurance subsidies? That's the question in Nebraska. Almost 200,000 Nebraskans don't have health insurance. Nearly half of them are spread across the state's rural areas. Details On Next Phase Of Obamacare By Sean Crawford • Sep 24, 2013 Campaign for Better Health Care The Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare, is among the most controversial domestic policy laws in history. And it remains so just days before the next phase launches October 1. At that time, a window opens allowing comparative shopping for coverage. While the debate in Washington continues, we wanted to take a closer look at the law and what it will mean for those who are uninsured and those who already have coverage. Illinois Still Waiting On Key Obamacare Approval By Amanda Vinicky • Sep 11, 2013 flickr/r.nial.bradshaw The price of insurance policies that will be offered under the federal health care overhaul remain a mystery, even to state officials. Oct. 1 will be a big day across the country for President Barack Obama's signature health care law.

Be wary of budget-cutting moves made by politicians that just happen to boost the political fortunes of those same politicians. One is legislators' reluctance to pay for a voters' pamphlet for primary elections.
Only twice since the popular general election guides debuted decades ago has the Legislature sprung for an edition to help voters sort through the choices in the primary, said Secretary of State Sam Reed. In 2000, the state budget office allowed then-Secretary of State Ralph Munro to use some unspent cash set aside for elections. Then, in 2008, Reed convinced the Legislature that confusion caused by yet another change in the primary rules — the first use of the "top two" primary — made a primary pamphlet a good idea.
Reed didn't even ask for funding this year. "I believe in not fighting a fight unless there's a remote chance of winning," he said. "I couldn't get them to do it when times were flush."
Yet a case could be made — OK, I'll make it — that a pamphlet is even more important in the primary than in the November general election. That's because the number of choices is larger in the August (formerly September) primary. There has also been less opportunity for campaigning and for voters to separate the shells from the nuts.
Big counties like King, Pierce and Thurston (and Clark, for local and regional races) publish primary pamphlets. "We feel like it is really important information that our local voters really want," said Pierce County Auditor Julie Anderson. Some counties are responding to budget pressures by eliminating the local pamphlet, though. That's what Thurston County has done; Yakima, too.
Reed says his office posts information about candidates on its website (sos.wa.gov/elections). But I find the online version awkward to navigate and less amenable to contrasting candidates for the same office.
Incumbent protection
Perhaps for obvious reasons, a lot of the more interesting candidates are gone by the time the general election pamphlet is published. The primary is the only time the Libertarians, the Greens, the Socialists and — my favorite — the Natural Law Party get exposure. "Cultivating spontaneous self-governance in accord with natural law will make us all, and our communities, crime-free, stress-free, productive, peaceful, and happy," wrote the Natural Law candidate for attorney general in 2000. And somehow she lost?
Minor party adherents complain that the top two primary makes it impossible to get to the general election. Under the old blanket primary, they needed only 1 percent of the vote to reach the general election. That's how the state's most-famous minor party was able to turn the 1976 pamphlet into a collectors item. That would be the O.W.L Party led by jazz musician Red Kelly for governor, "Bunco" Bob Kelly for attorney general and Archie "Whiplash" Breslin for insurance commissioner.
Now third parties have to get the most or the second-most votes, a tough task made even tougher by the lack of a primary pamphlet.
Then there are the perennial candidates like Goodspaceguy, Mike the Mover, Jesse Hill, Will Baker, Warren "The Viking" Hanson. Would we have more of these if they were certain to get their message into the homes of every voter? Probably, but they make the pamphlet a lot more fun.
Besides, more information is always better than less information. And who benefits most by the lack of a published voters' pamphlet? Candidates who already are well-known, who don't need the help of the pamphlet to get their names before voters. And who are targeted in the pamphlet statements by those lesser-known challengers? That would be the incumbents, the sitting legislators who could have pushed for the $1 million needed to put a printed pamphlet in every household of the state. So maybe it was to save money. But maybe it was yet-another example of incumbent protection.

I fly in my dreams by johngiannis27Watch
©2012-2016 johngiannis27
Fantasy is a genre of fiction that commonly uses magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary element of plot, theme, or setting. Many works within the genre take place in imaginary worlds where magic is common. Fantasy is generally distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of scientific and macabre themes, respectively, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three, all of which are subgenres of speculative fiction.
In popular culture, the genre of fantasy is dominated by its medievalist form, especially since the worldwide success of The Lord of the Rings and related books by J. R. R. Tolkien. Fantasy has also included fairy tales, wizards, sorcerers, or witchcraft, (etc.), in events which avoid horror. In its broadest sense, however, fantasy comprises works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians, from ancient myths and legends to many recent works embraced by a wide audience today.
Fantasy is a vibrant area of academic study in a number of disciplines (English, cultural studies, comparative literature, history, medieval studies). Work in this area ranges widely, from the structuralist theory of Tzvetan Todorov, which emphasizes the fantastic as a liminal space, to work on the connections (political, historical, literary) between medievalism and popular culture.[1]

This review is from: Microsoft Visio Standard 2013 - Download - 1 PC
Pros: Stable.
Cons: Every version - like with pretty much everything Microsoft - gets progressively more awful. The interface gets more cluttered and baffling as new features [that you'll probably never use] are added. Hyperactively insists on helping and automated assistance yields sensible results about half the time.
Other Thoughts: I wouldn't buy over-priced junk like this if there was a viable alternative. I use Gimp a lot, but for doing detailed network diagrams and the like, it doesn't cut it.

Pros: Ability to get the product installed and off the ground running
Cons: Licensing is a pain. Having to make and account attached the key to it. The Visio software would not accept my account when trying to license the computer. After searching threw the new account I found an offline install key. This fixed the issue with the licensing. Took more effort that I would have expected. They really are paranoid about there licensing this time around!!

Telugu comedian Brahmanandam was mobbed by thousands of fans recently when he came here for the idol installation at Pathur Veerabrahmendra Swamy Temple. He left the venue soon after unveiling the idols.
"He was invited to unveil the idols Govindmamba Sametha Veerabrahmendra Swamy, Srimat Kalika Devi and installation of Sri Nandeeswara Dhwaja Stambham. We tried to keep it a low key affair but the public got to know and showed up in thousands," Chandrasekhar, organiser of the event, told IANS.
"He was supposed to address the gathering after unveiling the idols but he was so irked by the behaviour of the crowd that he left very quickly. The police had to intervene and control the mob which tried to approach Brahmanandam," he added.
The 58-year-old actor has appeared in over 1000 films in a career lasting over two decades. Some of his best films include "Aha Naa Pellanta", "Appula Appa Rao", "King", "Ready" and "Balupu".
He is also a recipient of the Padma Shri award.

Excellent collection, even have Chavela Vargas on it.
My Collections:
perlanegra's recommendation
The movie was okay, I have seen way better renditions of Frida and Diego's life. Regarding the soundtrack, I'm all about it, especially because I'm in total agreement with Three, Chavela is an amazing singer/poet/mariachi songstress, viva Mexico.

If splashy ship new-building projects like Celebrity Solstice and Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas are garnering a lion's share of headlines, the industry's quieter trend toward fleet refurbishments is also gaining traction.
Regent Seven Seas' announcement yesterday that it plans to spend $40 million to enhance and refurbish its fleet was the second such development this month. Holland America recently revealed details of its own ambitious plans to refresh its S- and Rotterdam-class vessels.
In this case, all three RSSC ships -- Seven Seas Voyager, Seven Seas Mariner and Seven Seas Navigator -- will undergo stem to stern improvements. The effort begins in December with Seven Seas Voyager; Seven Seas Mariner will go into dry dock a month later (more details on Seven Seas Navigator's refurbishment, which won't take place until 2010, aren't yet available).
Specifically, changes to Seven Seas Mariner and Seven Seas Voyager include redesigns (and redecoration) of public rooms. A new alternative restaurant -- Prime Seven -- will replace the current Indochine-influenced Latitudes. The Pool Grill will be upgraded with new lounging and eating areas. The ships' all-suite accommodations will receive cosmetic revamps, from new carpet and lighting to upholstery and wallpaper. Seven Seas Voyager will get a larger coffee and snack bar (Seven Seas Mariner already has the Coffee Connection), and both will receive extra informal dining options, such as pizza ovens and ice cream bars.
The refurbishment for both ships will take place at Freeport's Grand Bahama Shipyard; other notable cruise ship projects that have taken place there include the transformation of Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest, and Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas. The design work will be supervised by Oslo-based Yran and Storbraaten, a firm whose work is displayed on fleets such as Seabourn, Silversea and Disney, not to mention half of Holland America's new Eurodam -- and Regent Seven Seas itself.
Interestingly, this latest major project for Regent Seven Seas comes relatively soon after the line invested some $20 million in upgrades. Unlike some other relatively comparable cruise lines, such as Seabourn, Silversea and even Oceania, however, Regent Seven Seas has no ships under construction at this time.

2Find out how he feels about you. Don't obsess over him or make it too obvious until his feelings are made known.
3Be yourself. Don't ever change yourself for a guy.
4Once you have him, be a good girlfriend. There is no definite way to do this. It all depends on the guy.

"Mount Nanga Parbat" Tato by chahlawah
Tato Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 8 photos
Northern areas of Pakistan, spread over 72,496 sq.Km. are fascinating as its southern region. Amidst towering snow-clad peaks with heights varying from 1000 m to over 8000 meter, the valleys of Gilgit, Hunza and Skardu recall Shangri-La. The cultural patterns in this region are as interesting as its topography. The people with typical costumes, folk dances, music and sports like polo and buzkashi provide the traveler an unforgettable experience. Nowhere in the world there is such a great concentration of high mountains, peaks, glaciers and passes except Pakistan. Of the 14 over 8000 peaks on earth, 4 occupy an amphitheater at the head of Baltoro glacier in the Karakoram range. These are: K-2 (8611 m, world second highest), Broad Peak (8047m), Gasherbrum I (8068m) and Gasherbrum II (8035m). There is yet another which is equally great, that is, Nanga Parbat (8126m) at the western most end of the Himalayas. In addition to that, there are 68 peaks over 7000 m and hundreds which are over 6000 m. The Northern Pakistan has some of the longest glaciers outside Polar region; Siachen (72 km), Hispar (61 km.), Biafo (60 km.), Baltoro (60 km.), Batura (64 km.), Yenguta (35 km.), Chiantar (34 km.), Trich (29 km.) and Atrak (28 km.). The lower Himalayan valleys of Swat, Kaghan and Chitral in the Hindukush range equally share the beauty and diverse culture of the Northern Pakistan.
One of these Peaks is Nanga Parbat (Naked Mountain, 8126m) is 2nd highest in Pakistan and 9th highest in the world, always a challange for the climbers, often called "Killer Mountain", as taken lot of lives, in effort to climb this giant
Next day, in the morning, when we came out of our tents, this is what we saw, Nanga Parbat was taking shower in to the morning sun
In the morning, Nanga Parbat is looking in to the water, as looking into the mirrow:)
- Pros:superb place to visit
- Cons:not much
- In a nutshell:from Tato you can walk to Fairy Meadows, about 3 hours trekking

My name is Dean and I am an accessible communications assistant for Mencap, on the accessibility team. My job involves making sure documents are easy to read and are accessible to someone with a learning disability.
I have been a judge for Mencap's annual photography and film competition Snap! for a few years now and was asked to judge again this year. I always really enjoy being a judge. This year I thought the day was a really perfect day. Everything was brilliant about it.
This year the judging happened at Somerset House, there were 11 judges in total. I normally get a bit nervous about the Snap! judging as I know how much time and effort people put into their entries so I want to judge every single entry very carefully.
This year's panel
This year the judges who had a learning disability like me and Lorainne Bellamy all had individual support, I had Chloe Harvey as my individual support she was really great on the day. I think it worked well having individual support as we were able to take our time over the entries and communicate our thoughts on each entry to the rest of the judging panel. I found the afternoon a bit tiring but Chloe kept me going. I think all the judges got on really well as a team, we discussed which entries we liked and then had a voting system to pick the winners. The entries for Snap! were of a very high standard again this year, they seem to get better each year.
Being a judge
Being a judge was thoroughly enjoyable. This year in particular I think the judging panel got on really well and we all came to a group decision on each winner. This year a winner from last year was invited to judge; father and daughter John and Shauna, I think this was a really good idea. I sat next to Jon Cohen, FUJIFILM Business Group Manager for the judging, I have judged with Jon for a few years now and get on well with him. When I arrived Jon said:
'I was hoping you were going to turn up today and be a judge' to which I said back 'Snap!'
All the judges and facilitators made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I felt my opinions were heard and listened to. I think all the judges seemed to enjoy the day.
The staff who organised and helped on the day were excellent, they included Jo, Anna and Catherine. They were amazing and helped us sort through the photos, making sure everything was tidy and running smoothly. The day was really well organised overall.
As always I loved the photos. It's a shame we can't pick more winners. The stories that went with the photos were great too. I think Snap! is an important competition as it helps people to understand learning disability. It's great that everyone can enter whether you have a learning disability or not, the image or the film just needs to be about a learning disability. Each image has a different story to tell, some are incredibly moving. With each image you see the person and not the disability which is how it should be, that's why I think Snap! is so important.
At the end of the judging Mark Goldring, Mencap's chief executive came down to thank us all for our hard work on the day, this was really nice and I think all the judges really liked this too.
It really was the best snap judging day I have been to, everything was great. I'm looking forward to the awards ceremony at the Rich Mix arts centre in Shoreditch in a couple of weeks.
