Dartrisha Wheeler Huntsville, AL
Thank you so much for your detailed information. Yes seeds have been planted and I continue to wait for God to do what will be done in his time. This time I have waited have taught me patience, to use my time wisely and have taught me to appreciate all that has occurred while I wait. Yes God gave me words to write down and them continued to come. When the words stopped that was my time to place them on cards etc. While I continue to wait it allowed me to place them into the hands of many. Yes fear came around and the thought of the negative statements that were given by a few made me wonder should I continue; then here you come with details....Thank you, Thank you.....Reply

the two of me-the gangster and the poet. Im the first published author in history to write an autobiography completely in poetry and short stories. Ty;er i got some deep stuff in there. for example, page 232 "you are blessed"Your mountain is high but your valley is steeper, its ok if u cry but lets dig a little deeper. Relationships and Marriages dont fail people do, they will make your life h*** and blame it on you. Your dreams abandoned like a car thats rusted, dedicated to your man but still not trusted, jealousy like zealousy makes a sane man mad, faults and blame are plain to see but still it makes you sad. So when you feel life crushing you, turn to GOD HES Trusting you. I dnt know what the future holds, all i can tell you is what ive been told. And ty\the story is you r goin to make it, your life is yours let'em bring it you can take it.Dont let no man or woman put a rush on you, because GOD HIMSELF has a crush on you. So heres to u n your success, just do what u do in CHRIST YOU ARE BLESSED. I HAVE OVER 10,000 JUST AS PROFOUNDLY HONOST AND INSPIRING AS THIS ONE. Go view my book or just call me directly. Tyler my anointing to write is so strong i even wrote a poem about writers block. i look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to contact me any time day or nightReply

I love your inspirational messages. I also loved your interview on A****** Hall and the bit about your small beginnings. I know it takes time to create and post videos - you probably have not had the time to do so since your last one (dated 2 years ago) - but I would love to hear more your recent thoughts. Your words of wisdom gives me courage when I'm struggling to make our day to day living possible by just hustling and connecting one freelance job after another. It's like running the circuit but I see no end and at times I lose the faith. So.... please keep sharing your thoughts. Thank you.Reply

In Israel, three Israeli Jews have now spoken to authorities to confess to killing a teen they kidnapped off a Jerusalem street earlier this month. Two of three individuals held for this crime are minors. The third suspect is a 30-year-old man. Authorities have not revealed the identities of the three suspects due to the unrest this killing has caused in the area. RT reported on their confession and the latest on the killing on July 14.
Mohammed Abu Khdeir is the identity of the teen killed in this vicious crime. The three suspects revealed to authorities that they killed the teenager in revenge for the killing of three Jewish youths last month. The three thoroughly planned their attack before setting out to kidnap the teenager. The three suspects burned the teen alive. The suspects had attempted to kidnap two others before they kidnapped Abu Khdeir. Before the kidnapping, the suspects had purchased gasoline and other supplies needed to commit their crime. Authorities found the teen's cell phone in the home of one of the suspects.
A gag order put in place prevented the release of details about this crime, but that gag order has partially been lifted. The gag order against the release of the suspect's identity is all that remains in place at this time. An investigator shared the following details about the crime in a statement, according to Haaretz:
"On July 2, 2014, the three suspects decided together to kidnap and murder an Arab. They searched for a victim in several Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, finally arriving in Shoafat. When they saw that the teenager Mohammed Abu Khdeir was alone, they seized him, forced him into their car, beat and stunned him and took him to the Jerusalem Forest. There they threw him out of the car, poured gasoline on him, set him on fire and fled."
The three suspects also reenacted the crime for investigators. Security camera footage of the kidnapping also exists, and this footage helped police identify the suspects. Footage showed the car used by the suspects, but authorities needed to spend three days searching for the car. The footage did not show the car's license plate. Police originally arrested six suspects in connection with the teen's murder, but three were released last week. They only knew of the murder after the fact. They did not participate in the crime.
Authorities plan to charge the three suspects with "murder, kidnapping with intent to commit murder, arson and attempted arson attributable to racist-nationalist motives." The three might use temporary insanity as a defense for their crime. The man in this case tried to kill his own daughter just weeks before the kidnapping and murder of this teen earlier this month. All three suspects underwent psychological testing after their arrest, but authorities revealed it was not to find out their fitness to stand trial for the murder of Abu Khdier. Authorities tested the three individuals to find out how to treat them in jail.
Since the teen's murder, chaos has taken over the Gaza strip has violence between Israel and Hamas has erupted. The unrest in the area is likely to continue in the days ahead.

After my first (difficult) marathon a year ago and my latest marathon running tragedy last fall, I'm happy to report that last month I completed the Clarence DeMar Marathon with a smile on my face. After the first two, I had wondered if the running universe was trying to tell me something (maybe the marathon distance is not for me?) but before I gave up on this distance, I gave it one more go and I'm glad I did.
The Clarence DeMar Marathon is named after the famed 7 time winner of the Boston Marathon. Also known as Mr. DeMarathon, he was the oldest person to ever win Boston at the age of 41 – and people made a big deal about Meb Keflezighi being 39! It is a very small race with just under 400 finishers, and it has a very small town feel. The volunteers couldn't possibly be any nicer, and the crowd support (while minimal) was enthusiastic. The biggest perk for me was the availability of shower facilities on the Keene State Campus at the finish line. My family came with me for the day to cheer me on. Since the race is so small and the course is open to traffic, they were able to see me at 5 different spots which was fun.
Overall I am happy with how I ran the race. Based on my training times and most recent half marathon, I had set expectations for myself that were quite lofty. Adding those thoughts to a course that is an overall downhill profile, encouraged me to go out too fast which came back to bite me in the end. Considering that my time of 4:13:21 is over an hour better than my first marathon, I am quite happy. It was a great learning experience which will definitely help me for the next race.

Cancer is a unifying term for about 200 different diseases.Oncology is the study of tumour diseases and the word originates in the Greek word for tumour. The five large cancer types in the western world are skin cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer. The five-year survival rate between the different types of cancer is very variable: between 99 per cent for certain types of skin cancer and 1 per cent for pancreatic cancer. The risk of developing cancer increases with age, infections, radon, sun exposure, and smoking. Even genetic factors are of importance.

Great white shark Mary Lee offshore of Holden Beach
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 1:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 1:34 p.m.
Holden Beach | A recent ping by Ocearch Shark Tracker showed that the roaming 16-foot, 3,500-pound great white shark Mary Lee was just off Holden Beach around 4:30 a.m. Thursday.
The Ocearch team tagged the shark in September off the coast of Cape Cod, Mass., and she has since been tracked traveling up and down the East Coast. The massive shark made an appearance in Southesastern North Carolina waters twice in mid- and late- December – even entering into the mouth of the Cape Fear River at one point – before traveling south.
Officials have been uneasy, according to news reports, as the shark makes its way back up the East Coast because the shark has come ever closer to beaches. Just two weeks ago, Mary Lee traveled within 200 yards of Florida's Jacksonville Beach.
Mary Lee is one of dozens of sharks tagged by Ocearch, a nonprofit organization dedicated to data-gathering and research on the biology, health, life history and migratory patterns of sharks. To seek the tracking site, go to http://sharks-ocearch.verite.com.

The sudden fall and death of "General Hospital" teen Rafe Kovich, Jr. came as a bit of surprise to viewers. Fans of the show barely got the chance to get to know the son of legacy character Allison Barrison before his sudden turn to drugs and desperate behavior led to his tragic death. Rafe's fate not only surprised viewers, but also shocked actor Jimmy Deshler, who only learned about Rafe's demise a few days before he taped the episode.
In an interview with Soaps In Depth published Wednesday, Deshler opens up about his shocking exit from the daytime drama. In the age of spoilers, Rafe's eventual demise wasn't exactly a secret, but the way he went out and how fast he was killed off remained confidential. Deshler tells the magazine, "I guess it was just confidential and they didn't want any of the story getting out. So I found out the Monday of the week it was happening. I guess it was a surprise to all of us."
Rafe's brief time on the show involved the very forgettable Stephen Clay vampire storyline, a teen love triangle and the recent drug addiction storyline. Although there probably could've been a better direction the show could've taken the character in, Deshler is grateful for the experience. He says, "It's good to have something on your resume like 'GH' and I did a year and a half of it. I learned a lot from it. I've been on a set as a guest star, but I've never been a regular part of a show. It was a very good experience."
Deshler's future plans involved college and roles on the big screen. Although Deshler is gone from "GH," his character remains a major part of a current storyline. Not only have fans found out that Rafe was responsible for the accident that ran Patrick (Jason Thompson) and Sabrina (Teresa Castillo) off the road, viewers are also learning that Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis) was behind it all. Rafe was able to pass a hint along to Molly (Haley Pullos) before he was involved in his own accident that eventually led to his death.

Briggs & Stratton Snow Blower Review from Ask The Builder
Whether you're in the market for a new snow blower or you're just a fan of Briggs & Stratton, check out this review of our the 24″ 9.00 Gross Torque Medium-Duty Dual Stage snow blower24″ 9.00 Gross Torque Medium-Duty Two Stage snow blower review from Tim Carter, a popular blogger and handyman at AskTheBuilder.com.
Briggs and Stratton Two Stage Snow Blower Review
Tim starts the snowblower review by asking, "…Who's going to win the battle, is it going to be Mother Nature with her 9-10 inches of fluffy snow or is it going to be Briggs and Stratton?"
Each step of the demonstration review, Tim explains how, "[The]snow blower is really simple to move and it's got a powerful two stage mechanism to blow the snow up to 38 feet. It's got a nice free hand control that allows you to steer the machine and have the augers turning with just one hand on the handle bar."
He goes on to explain the snow thrower specs in detail like how the dual serrated auger blades easily remove crusty snow. He then explains that the machine is guaranteed to start at 20 degrees below zero and can blow snow up to 38 feet remove snow at 24 inches wide and up to 19 ½ inches deep. It even has a push button chute rotation to change the direction the snow is thrown – instead of a manual crank. Plus, Tim is a big fan of the headlights that light his path in low light, making snow removal easier.
Thanks Tim, for your honest opinion and great review. Tim Carter contacted us in December and asked to review and test our snow blower during this particularly snowy winter. Tim is located in New Hampshire and the snow blower arrived just in time to help out after another big winter snowfall.

Baby's First Massage
Benefits of massage for your newborn
* Feedings are digested better, which may help the baby gain weight easier and grow at faster pace.
* Simulating the nervous system through the skin may help build muscle tone, coordination and brain functioning.
* The baby receives special attention from you, which helps you grow closer to each other.
* Circulation is improved , which may speed healing of birth related trauma.
* Massage has a claiming effect which leads to deeper, more restful sleep.
* The immune system is stimulated through the skin by at least five minutes of rubbing daily.
When not to massage:
If your baby was born prematurely. It is a good idea to wait until he or she is at least 32 weeks gestation and medically stable. This means your baby is in an open crib and is taking feedings – generally baby needs to weigh at least 3.5 lbs. Massage can actually assist the prematurely born or healing baby is given very carefully.
Don't massage when your baby has a fever over 100 F
Don't massage over any fracture or incision… But DO massage around it gently.
Ask your doctor if massage is O.K. if you baby as any of the following:
A malignancy
A birth defect causing internal organs to be exposed.
Getting started:
Newborns have special considerations while healing from the birth experience and settling into life outside the uterus. For the first time, they are using energy to breathe, they have to keep warm and to digest food. Mom did all that before! So help them by protecting their available energy. Keep them warm.
If your baby is working hard to keep warm, then do the strokes over top of clothing. (No need for oils!) Keep them comfortable. Keep their cord clean and free of oil or cornstarch. Newborns are unusually sleepy the first few days , but may be massaged even if asleep.
These strokes turn on the digestive system. If you do these simple stokes before feeding, digestion will be improved. If you are breastfeeding, you can stroke the baby right after feeding. If you are feeding the baby formula, either stroke before the feedings, or wait 30 minutes afterwards.
Take your time; this pleasurable for you and baby. Let this be a restful experience for you while you are healing, too. After you gather the necessary items and have washed your hands, find a comfortable place to sit down.
You will need a cold-pressed vegetable, nut oil, or cornstarch as a lubricant. Some light oils that feel nice on the skin are almond, sunflower, sesame, pecan, hazelnut and safflower. Do not any perfumes on your infant's skin.
Remember: if you baby is cold (some newborns take a little time to be able to keep themselves warm) do the strokes over the top of clothing without any lubricant.
You will need a pillow or thick blanket to support the baby…soft enough to be comforting and supporting but not smothering. Keep your baby wrapped in a lightweight blanket during the massage for warmth and a sense of security. If necessary, change the baby's diaper before you being.
Repeat a stroke several times in each area. Apply gentle pressure, using the pads of your fingers, gliding over the baby's skin without pulling on it.
Stroke more slowly / gently in any tender area, but do so as this may speed the healing process.
Always keep one hand on the baby's body while you do the strokes. Your baby will feel more secure and will accept the stroking much more readily.
Remember: there is no "perfect" way to massage a baby. The important thing is to touch and stroke the baby so that he or she can feel your love and claming influence.
If the baby starts crying or fussing, stop stroking and use the calming techniques does not calm them back down, wait until baby is settled down before you start again.
A few words about crying:
Crying is one of your infant's most powerful ways to let you know he or she needs your help. One thing we don't know how to teach are the specifics about each and every cry. Your baby is an individual and will teach you what each of her/his cries mean.
In three or four weeks, you will be an expert with this, so relax. You might want to go to a library ans ask about books on crying, or talk to someone you respect in how they have parented their children.
There are basically two kinds of cries: "Help me, someone!" And "Please listen to me!"
If your baby wants you to listen, you listen; look at your baby and make nice little reassuring sounds back to him or her; when the baby is "talked out" they'll go to sleep, and sleep very well knowing they have been heard.
The "I need help" cry is very easy to spot. All you have to do is figure out what your baby needs and help with it! It could be hunger, needing a burp, or a diaper change; too tight clothing, thirst, being overly tired or sleepy; gas and whatever else you can think of…
A talking cry sounds like this: wah-wah-wah / breath / wah-wah-wah. Each cry is like the one before it.
An "I need help" cry becomes higher and higher in pitch; usually, there is a lot more "feeling" with it.
Very soon you become an expert with your baby. You will being to notice what is normal and not normal and be able to respond correctly to your baby's cries.. and both of you will be very pleased!

It is very interesting how babies being to cry after the first few days. Most babies are too tired at first, and sleep most of the time. But your baby will wake up, and will probably be fussy at times. Very sensitive babies often are very fussy babies and will lots of your time and attention. Ask for some help if you are feeling overwhelmed. Your baby seems to know when you feel upset, and will actually become more upset! So begin with yourself… take a few deep breaths like you did in labor and calm yourself down first.
Learn baby's early cues of distress:
Arching the back
Spitting up or hiccupping (not related to eating)
Avoiding eye contact
Spreading his or her fingers as if to say "Stop"
Crying the I Need Help cry.
Explore some causes for your baby's fussiness, such as:
Needing a diaper change
Over stimulation
Overly tired
There are some simple things to try which may calm your baby
Place the baby is the fetal position with head down, arms tucked in, knees tucked in
Rest your hands on baby for a few seconds without moving them. Breathe deeply and relax.
Wrap baby snugly except where you are stroking, especially arms and hands.
If baby wants to suck, use a pacifier, bring the baby's fingers to the mouth for sucking, or if breastfeeding, put baby to the breast.
Stop talking or playing music
One person take the baby to a darkened room
Wrap your baby snugly and cradle, rock or walk your baby
Place your baby on your chest up by your left shoulder; stroke from the head down to the diaper, over the clothing and blanket.
Massage strokes:
Step 1: Opening Stretch
Gently place your wrapped baby on a firm mattress or thick, folded blanket. Keep your baby wrapped in a lightweight blanket. Communicate with your baby and talk to him or her about what you are going to do. You can do this simply by saying to your baby, "Are you ready for a nice massage?"
Then, looking into baby's eyes, gently place your hands under baby's diaper with your fingertips at the top of baby's hips. Let your baby settle into your hands for a moment. Begin a rolling motion with your fingers while you keep your hands in position under your baby's bottom. Using the rolling motion, lift your baby's hips about 2 inches. The motion is as if your baby was floating on an ocean wave.
Repeat this stroke, and all the rest of the strokes 3 – 4 times moving slowly.
Step 2: Being with the Legs
Gently place your hands around the baby's head or chest so that he or she can get used to your presence. After the baby signals readiness by becoming calm, remove one of the baby's legs from the blanket and clothing. Leave the rest of the baby covered. You will be doing this step on each of the baby's legs one at a time.
Warm a few drops of oil in your palm. With one hand, hold the baby's feet…resting your thumb on the sole and supporting the ankle with your fingers. Be very gentle with the heel area since it may be tender from blood tests.
Use your thumb and index finger to make a circle around the baby's upper leg. Then using a back-and-forth motion, move down. Repeat this stroke 3 – 4 times. Cover this leg, then uncover the other leg and repeat this stroke.
Step 3 Abdominal Reflex Stroking
This unusual stroke triggers a "reflex" which is an automatic response by the nervous system. The reflex action will increase the waves of movement in the intestines. This causes gas and constipation to be relived. This stroke is useful for all ages form birth ot old age. To get the desired effect you many need to continue doing the stroke for 4 – 4 minutes. Do not put oil on the skin for this stroke.
Use a very light, ticklish touch using the tip of your finger or fingernail. Start alongside the cord and make a spiraling motion out to the edge of the abdomen moving in a clockwise direction. Move quickly, without staying in the same area. On the next repeat of the stroke, go back to the cord, and spiral outward again and againl It may take only 3- 4 seconds to do this stroke. Just keep repeating it over and over if your baby is gassy, colicky or constipated.
Step 4 The abdomen… and gas relief
Warm a few drops of oil in your hands and rub 2 fingers gently around the area of the cord. (Avoid getting oil on the cord).
Pressing in with the pads of your fingers about ½ inch, and keeping your fingers under the baby's ribs, move in a clockwise pattern like this:
Like a capital "I"
Like an upside down "L"
Like an upside down "U"
Repeat the 3 strokes at least 4 times to help remove gas from the large intestine. Wrap snugly.
Step 5 : The Chest…a sensitive Area
Warm a little more oil in your hands. Open the baby's clothing so you can stroke the chest.
Avoid getting oil on the cord as you lay your hands gently on the baby's chest for a few seconds. Keep one hand steadily in place while the other hand does the stroking.
Using 2 or 3 fingers, stroke gently from the shoulder to the groin area. Touch as much of the chest as you can with this movement. The chest is very sensitive. If your baby pulls away from your touch, just slow down your stroking.
Step 6: The Arms
Remove one of the baby's arms from the blanket and take the clothing off the arm: leave the rest of the baby covered. You will be doing this step on each of the baby's arms, one at a time.
Hold the baby's palm with one hand while you use the other hand to do this gentle stroking. With your thumb and index finger, circle the baby's arm close to the shoulder. Move down the arm to the wrist, rocking your hand back and forth.
Leave the clothing off the arm but cover the baby with the blanket.
Step 7: The scalp
No oil is needed on the scalp. Cradle the baby's head with one hand. Use your free hand to make small gentle circles all over the scalp. Place the baby's head down gently when you are finished.
Step 8: The back
Put your baby in a comfortable position on his or her stomach. Keeping the legs covered, remove the blanket from the back area. (and the tee shirt if you have not removed it yet.) Keep the rest of the baby covered.
Warm a few drops of oil in your palms. Gently lay your hands on the baby's back for a few seconds, covering up as much of the back as your can. This calms the baby.
While keeping one hand in place, use 2 or 3 fingers of your free hand to gently stroke from the shoulder to the buttocks, going over the entire back in the process.
Step 9: More on the back…
Keeping one hand in place on one side of the back, start at the neck and make small gentle circles alongside the spine.
Repeat this exercise 2-3 times down each side. Cover the baby for warmth.
Step 10: The legs one more time…. With the baby still lying on the stomach, uncover one leg at a time. Use your thumb and index finger to circle the leg just as your did in step 2. Gently stroke each leg again, starting at the hip and moving down to the ankle. Then place the blanket back over the leg you just stroked.
Step 11: The top of the head and the face of a newborn received the most pressure at birth… and there may be swelling or bruising in areas of the head and face. Go slowly and gently and keep on e hand along one side of the head while you stroke the other side. No oil is needed for the face.
Gently touch the skin of the baby and move your fingers from the top of the head down the cheeks to the chin. Repeat several times on each side of the face.
Step 12: More on the face.
Using 2 or 3 fingers, gently stroke from the side of the nose, under the eye, up and over the ea. Repeat the same stroke on the other side of the face.
Step 13: The Mouth
Using one finger, stroke slowly around the baby's mouth using slightly more pressure. This stroke helps stimulate the nerves which aid digestion. If your baby is sucking on a pacifier, skip this step Sucking provides the same benefit to the nerves inside the mouth.
That is all there is to introducing you and our newborn baby to this gentle way of massage. Cover your baby now to keep them warm; hold and cradle and cuddle. With the amount of stimulation received by the nervous system to help digestion, your baby is probably ready to eat very soon. As you can see, this gentle massage is so very simple that any family member can do it and enjoy it.
This way of massaging your baby is really wonderful during the first 4 – 5 weeks after birth. Then your baby will be ready for a deeper touch and a little more involved massage.
Stroking gently feels wonderful at all ages. Neither you nor your baby will ever be too old for nurturing touch.

2014 is setting up to be an extremely prosperous year, and, with Janet Yellen presiding as the Federal Reserve's first Chairwoman, what could possibly go wrong?
The answer, of course, is many things. The world's economy is built upon a shaky premise and the obligation to use debt-based currency brings with it a whole slew of unknowns that may become known over the next several years, such as, "what happens when borrowing and lending of a debt based currency become so disjointed that trading in said currency becomes not just unpalatable, but nearly impossible?" or "what happens when a $2.2 trillion dollar corporate cash hoard gets deployed all at once?"
The answers to these and other burning questions are likely to reveal themselves over the next several months.
Yellen's confirmation as Federal Reserve Chair has made it clear to all that there is one question that will not be answered in the near future, specifically, what happens to the financial system when the Federal Reserve turns off the monetary spigot that it has left open since 2008?
Lehman Brothers found out the hard way in 2008, and ever since then, the spigot has been turned on and nobody dares mention turning it down, let alone turning it off.
The current debt based monetary system, which has been around for just over 100 years, passed a critical stage in 2008 in which the system became so disjointed that, despite system liquidity being at record highs, none of the liquidity could make it to the real economy, where goods and services are exchanged due to the irreparable damage done to normal transmission channels when the Fed panicked and bypassed primary dealers in the fateful days of the Fall of 2007.
Ever since then, nothing has been quite right in terms of monetary policy. Anyone who has worked in credit markets will tell you that their world has fundamentally changed.
Yellen's appointment amounts to an extension of the Greenspan and Bernanke put at the Fed, meaning equity valuations are likely to continue into the stratosphere until further notice. However, while all eyes will be fixed on stock indices breaking new records, the trouble on mainstreet will continue to fester until meaningful direct stimulus to individual taxpayers is delivered.
Then, things will become very interesting indeed.

City moms buy their kids stuffed versions of exotic woodland creatures they'll never see outside of a zoo. Why shouldn't country parents take the same approach with their offspring? Forest-dwelling children are probably more likely to see a bear than they are the inspiration behind this Pablo the Pigeon ($64) stuffed toy. Let it spark their imaginations in between foraging and firewood-chopping sessions.

Tuesday was a nasty evening. It was raining and cold, the first real storm to hit the area this year. Regardless of the funky weather, it was a good night to head to the pub and have a couple beers and that's exactly what I did. For SF Beer Week, I had Tim Goeppinger of Sonoma Springs come down to the Toad in the Hole with a couple of beers to give us all a chance to see what was brewing out in Sonoma.
The event was set to begin at 7 pm, but when I arrived shortly after 6:30 Tim was already at the bar with a group of people around him and samples of Sonoma Springs beers flowing. On tap was the rye-baed Roggenbier, the cask conditioned Little Chief Pale Ale and his Nobody's Alt But Mine Altbier.
I started off with the Little Chief, as I had been thinking about it for weeks since I tried it originally at Rogue. Tonight, the Chief seemed a little light, but the hop flavor and aroma that I loved about it the first time were still there. Having it drawn through a handpump was extraordinary and the beer left great lacing on the glass, which more than a couple people commented on.
I moved on to the Roggenbier which I have had a few times before. I haven't had a beer quite like this before. Very thick and full of yeast, the beer is almost chewy in texture. There's a lot of citrusy orange flavor up front followed by a finish that's loaded with rye. If you're a fan of thick German hefeweizens, this beer will definitely appeal to you as well as provide something new.
I finished the sampling of Sonoma Spring with the Altbier. This beer is brewed using a Kolsch yeast which leads to a wine-like character. I kept coming away with a grape impression that finished with a light roasted touch. Very easy to drink and lightly carbonated, this is yet another unique brew from Tim. As with the other beers available this night, this wasn't a head cruncher, coming in around 5.5%.
Before the crowd could disperse, I took the time to get everyone's attention and thank Tim for coming out that night. I also made sure to raise a toast for William Brand, who is recovering from the train accident suffered Sunday. The latest report is that he is in stable condition but he is having troubles with his lungs. He suffered a broken bone in his neck, but no other breaks. It s my understanding that he remains in a coma. We're pulling for you William.
With the Sonoma Springs beers behind me, I had a chance to sample the IPA brought in from Calistoga Inn. The initial impression reminded me of Moylan's Moylander DIPA, with a sweet cake-like flavor in the front end. The hop aroma is a bit more mellow than typical in this region, but I felt it would fit in well with East Coast IPA. The flavor was also a bit more malt based wit floral fresh hop flavors and finish. A very solid IPA from Calistoga Inn, I will have to try and make it out there some time for some more.
By the time I left, the Toad was still a relatively full house and everyone was having a good time. I had a great time bringing Tim and the toad togetehr and hope to get the opportunity again to plan more events for both the toad and for Sonoma Springs.

If we conduct a survey why middle class Filipino families are migrating to other parts of the world we will be surprised that one of the many reasons that they will cite is the shameless graft and corruption in the Philippine government.
Corruption scandals have been a shadow that has constantly tailed the Philippines since the Marcos regime up to the present Aquino government. Let us take for example the present Aquino government. For almost a month now many elected government officials has been plagued by accusation of corruption labelled as the pork barrel scam.
The question that begs to be answered now is this: Can we still defeat the culture of corruption in the Philippine bureaucracy? Yes we can still slay this evil in Philippine governance however it will be a pipe dream if we will say that we can exterminate it within the time span of five to ten years.
But all is not lost because there's still hope and it rest on the shoulders of the present political leaders of this country. If only they will think of crafting a law that will make the evils of corruption and its corresponding punishments a permanent subject matter in our entire educational system. It will start during elementary up to the last year of college. So that strong value formation is inculcated in the minds of the future leaders this country.
Defeating this evil called corruption is not a hopeless case. This is actually a doable objective lets just give it a time frame perhaps ten to twenty years. By then we will hopefully have a new crop of leaders with strong values formation against corruption. - Marino J. Dasmarinas

Week 1 of the fast: Our movement grows stronger
It's been an incredible four days at the Fast for Families tent on the National Mall in DC. Just steps from the U.S. Capitol, faith, labor and immigrant rights leaders have been fasting around the clock to urge Congress to pass immigration reform. They have inspired Members of Congress, Cabinet officials, and activists from around the country to visit them and join the effort.
The fasters have been encouraged by conversations with Senator Chuck Schumer, Rep. Judy Chu, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Rep. Joe Kennedy III who came to the tent to offer their support. Secretary of Agriculture and former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack also visited the tent to thank the fasters for their sacrifice.
We were particularly excited to be visited on Friday afternoon by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who came to hear the stories of the fasters and why they are willing to risk their health for this cause. She reiterated that a majority of House members support immigration reform, and that if a vote were held today it would pass.
We've also been deeply grateful to receive hundreds of other supporters who have come by to offer their support for the fast and immigration reform.
What have been most moving though are the nightly meetings and prayer vigils. Each night, the community gathers to hear updates on the fasters and pray for their continued strength and for an end to this moral crisis. Rev. William Barber II of the North Carolina NAACP and the Moral Monday movement came to deliver a moving sermon, as did Rev. Derrick Harkins and Rev. Jennifer Butler. Each night we also hear from some of the many activists who have traveled from all over the country to be with us in this effort.
As the fasters finish their 4th day without food, our movement is growing stronger. In the coming days, we will continue to make sure Congress hears our message loud and clear: pass commonsense immigration reform now.

One quick stop at your supermarket's deli counter and you can stock up on a week's worth of quick sandwich fillings. But you'll also stock up on sodium—about 400 to 700 milligrams in each 2 oz. serving of deli turkey, roast beef, or ham.
That is, unless your deli carries Dietz & Watson Gourmet Lite No Salt Added Breast of Turkey. Each serving has just 50 mg of naturally occurring sodium. And it's made without nitrites, which are compounds that may raise cancer risk slightly.
Would you notice the Lite No Salt Added's milder taste if you took a bite after eating a slice of salted turkey? Probably. Would you notice any difference if you used some in a sandwich with mustard, onions, lettuce, or other fixin's? Not likely.
If you can't find the No Salt Added, try the company's Gourmet Lite Breast of Turkey. It'll cost you more sodium (240 mg), but you're still better off than you'd be with most other deli sliced turkeys.
If you're tired of turkey, look for Boar's Head lower-sodium meats. The two lowest—No Salt Added Oven Roasted Beef Round (40 mg of sodium in 2 oz.) and Deluxe Low Sodium Oven Roasted Beef Cap-Off Top Round (80 mg)—will pump up the flavor of your sandwich without pumping up your blood pressure.
"Launch your own assault on salt," urged the Boar's Head brochure we picked up at a local sandwich shop. "Too much salt can be a true health danger." We couldn't have said it better.
Dietz & Watson: (800) 333-1974
Boars Head: (888) 884-2627
Food Porn
"Four fluffy buttermilk pancakes loaded with creamy, rich cheesecake pieces and crowned with cool strawberries, powdered sugar and whipped topping." That's how the IHOP menu describes its New York Cheesecake Pancakes.
Just what we needed! Two out of three American adults are overweight or obese and IHOP decides that its ordinary stack of Original Buttermilk Pancakes is too skimpy. They can't expect customers to walk out of the restaurant with a mere 770 calories, mostly from white flour and (we suspect) a mix of butter and margarine (plus 55 calories' worth of sugar in every tablespoon of syrup). Patrons would be hungry before they left the parking lot, for heavens sakes.
In contrast, the New York Cheesecake Pancakes are stick-to-your-ribs fare. With 1,100 calories (1,320 with a typical quarter cup of syrup), there's enough to stick to your hips and thighs, too. And the day's worth of saturated fat (21 grams) plus three-quarters of a day's trans fat (1½ grams) can stick to your arteries...if they survive the 2,430-milligram jolt of sodium. (Some of that sodium may be less harmful because it comes from sodium bicarbonate instead of sodium chloride.)
IHOP even manages to target health-conscious diners. How many patrons order the (part-ly whole grain) Harvest Grain 'N Nut Pancakes, for example, without knowing that they're swallowing 920 calories (not counting the syrup)?
IHOP does offer some Simple & Fit dishes, which feature oatmeal, egg substitute, whole wheat toast, and fresh fruit. Everything else at the chain? Think of it as the Sugar & Fat menu.
Dish of the Month
Margo's Cream of Cauliflower Soup
Sauté 1 chopped onion in 1 Tbs. of olive oil. Add 1 chopped large head of cauliflower, 1 quart of low-sodium vegetable broth, and 2 cups of non-fat milk. Simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Purée (you can use a hand blender) and season with black pepper and up to ¾ tsp. salt.

Wedding planning and Dancing With the Stars training: It's all in day's work for Sean Lowe!
Though Sean's time on ABC's The Bachelor's has come to an end, thanks to his adorable proposal to Catherine Guidici, the reality hunk isn't taking a break from America's TV screens as he's set to compete on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars!
E! News' Alicia Quarles sat down with the happily engaged couple to talk about Sean's new gig and their plan to get married on TV.
While Sean and Catherine revealed to Bachelor host Chris Harrison that their wedding will be televised on ABC, the couple has yet to set a date. "Hopefully soon we'll come up with a date," Sean says of their already highly anticipated televised nuptials.
Sean does admit they were a little hesitant at first about having their wedding televised, saying, "We don't want people to think we just want to be on TV for the sake of being on TV because that's not the case. We just thought it would be special because our relationship was started and developed on TV. We love the people that are associated with The Bachelor who would be associated with the wedding as well."
Though they've yet to discuss the details, Catherine says the wedding will be "fun and special!"
Though the 11 other contestants were announced earlier, Sean isn't going into his Dancing With the Stars journey at a disadvantage. "I have been secretly dancing. Me and my partner PETA [Murgatroyd] have been practicing for the last couple of weeks now," he tells us. "We've had to keep that under tight wraps, of course. We've got our work cut out for us, but I wouldn't count us out! We're putting in a lot of time and effort, Peta's a great instructor and I think we'll be ready for the first time."
As for why he decided to join the show right after wrapping up his stint on The Bachelor, Sean explains, "For me, it was just the challenge of doing it I like embracing challenges and doing things that make me step outside m y comfort zone. Dancing's definitely one of those things!"
Plus, there is one really good perk: "It's cool to learn these classical dances I can use on my wedding day with Catherine," Sean says of his DWTS training. Awww!
To hear more from Sean and Catherine, including whether or not he'll be taking his shirt off on DWTS, watch our interview with them above!

Last week we learned that Harrison Ford had suffered an injury on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII. We didn't know how significant the damage was, and Ford was reported to be in the hospital while filming continued. Now THR is reporting the injury is actually a broken ankle that will cause Ford to miss eight weeks of shooting.
Ford's absence will probably make things a little more difficult for J.J. Abrams, but it won't have an impact on the release schedule. If anything, it might mean a little more body double and CGI work will go into the production. Or they could do a lot of scenes where Han Solo is forced to sit down, maybe play some Dejarik with Chewbacca on the Millennium Falcon?
Star Wars: Episode VII continues rolling along to meet the December 18th 2015 release date.

If $S$ is a subset, is $S+\emptyset$ defined and equals to $S$? Or is it just gibberish? Thanks again.

$A+B$ means $\{a+b|a \in A, b \in B\}$. That is, it is the set of all points which are the sum of a point in $A$ and a point in $B$. The empty set $\emptyset$ has no points in it, so there is nothing that is the sum of a point in $S$ and a point in $\emptyset$. Thus for all $S$, $S + \emptyset=\emptyset$.
Both $S$ and the empty set are sets. If we define an operation that admits two sets and maps them to some other mathematical entity (e.g. another set), then we could apply this operation to $S$ and the empty set. What we will obtain as a result of the operation depends on how we have defined our operation. For example we could interpret the $+$ as union, or intersection of sets. In the first case we would get $S$, in the second case we would get the empty set.

There's a part of wow that I love to take advantage of, and I like to call it the Mid Life Leveling Crisis! Everyone goes through this crisis at some point in their career, in fact we tend to go through it smack dab in the middle of leveling a profession (hence the name)! So you have everything but that stack of adamantite ore, that citrine, or that handful of mountain silversage and being a savy wow player you decide to take a short cut and use the auction house. Low and behold your item is there... but it's over 800% market value!!! Cursing under your breath you buy the item and I see "A buyer has been found for your auction of..."
I consider this market to be the most valuable method for a player who has no professions and would like to learn to use auctioneer to make gold. The items tend to sell in about 24 hours and you can make many times what you bought them for through resale scans (hint bidding is a good idea on 12-24 hour items).
How do you handle the mid life leveling crisis? Do you take advantage or fall victim?

I take advantage and try to plan out my leveling process over a 2 week period. For example, when I leveled my third JC I started buying all the materials I would need weeks before if they where 70% market or lower and then when the time came when I was ready to start raiding BOOM JC maxed with very minimal costs.

I farmed so it's f... saved me some gold ;-)
This is exactly why I try to level my alts to cover all professions.
If I need something that can be farmed (yes, I used the other F-word), then I have an alt that can go get it at the best location possible for that item. (unless it requires me to have friends ... then I have no way of getting it, Ol' Gevy's more a social then I am)

I do both, depending on which character I'm on. When leveling Blacksmithing/Engineering on my Holy Paladin, I fell into that trap hard.
When leveling Alchemy on my DK and Warlock (one for transmutes, one for flasks), I did the opposite and started farming any herb that I saw running at that especially high value (thank you, Gromsblood).

I fall victim. Leveling JC was like getting repeatedly punched in the balls, and alchemy wasn't much better. Even at 800% if the mats were on the AH I was happy. I'm on an underpopulated side of a server, and the other side of my server has massive amounts of low level mats. If I was more focused on making gold, cross-faction arbitrage would be the way to do it.
Wiggin said... March 15, 2010 at 11:31 AM
Interesting post. It should be noted that any player who finds themselves leveling a profession also has an opportunity to find new ways to make gold.
Remember going from 275 to 350? Those difficult levels might be a great opportinity to see where those mats come from, and how you can get into that, likely low compeition, market.
As a JC, I expanded to sell lesser gems included aquamarine, citrine and jades, I can get anywhere between 5 and 15 for each. Citrines are particularly pricey.
But, I am kicking myself after last night. I gave someone a deal on some gems he needed to lvl JC and asked "where did you get them."
I didn't tell him exactly, but I awoke this morning to see he had undercut several of my gems...I now have to wonder how long he will be in this market and I might have to get aggressive and reduce my profit margin to near zero to shut him out.
Funny how he commented my price on Huge Emeralds was "ridiculous" and proceeds to sell his own for 15s less than mine...
Anonymous said... March 15, 2010 at 6:42 PM
I have both taken advantage, and fallen victim. When I was preparing to roll a new character in Wrath, I prepared all the materials I needed up to 340ish for my professions. On my other alts since then I've often bought very expensive materials to save myself from having to farm.
Personally I value my time fairly high these days. Market wise I tend to go for the high profit/time opportunities, while ignoring a lot of the smaller investments. I hate farming, grinding and doing daily quests. I did a lot of the Tournament Daily quests, but those were for the vanity items, and not for the gold.
I'm already well over the gold cap, and I would much rather spend 2000g on AH materials to level a profession, than spend 3 hours hunting for the other materials. If I would earn or save less than 1000g/hour on any given activity, I would usually prefer to pay to save my time instead.

I have about 700 saronite ore - transmute all into titanium bars? prospect?
Also i have about 100 titanium ore - prospect? or what?
Aragornoth said... March 15, 2010 at 11:28 PM
Forgot to mention green gems are about 1g on mannoroth and rares are 3g unless they are scarlet rubies - cardinal rubies are about 200 with ametrines at 160-180.

Historical Traveler Reviews Americas Best Value Inn Byhalia
Absolutely fantastic
We have just returned from Grand Siva Beach, well what can I say, it was absolutely fantastic, how anyone can say anything negative about this hotel is beyond us. The service was first class, the food brilliant, the beach to die for and the rooms, fit for a king. We would highly recommend the Siva. We did take the opportunity of having a look in the other hotels in the resort, none of them compared. The towels for the beach/pool were laundered daily, rooms were cleaned daily, you always knew someone had been in, anything left lying was neatly folded and put away. We took a couple of trips, Luxor Valley of the Kings being one of them, just amazing, you even got a packed breakfast to take with you. Having gone all over the Carribean and stayed all inclusive, we have never returned to the same place, we have been back a week and I have booked to return to the Siva in 2006. Book it now you wont regret it!!!!
Want to go to the siva again
we had a very restful two weeks and are looking to go again next year.tipping the staff little and oftenwill get you good service from them.we found all staff very helpful and polite.no problem with the germans or other nationalities.tip the towel man well the first time and he will put towels on a sun bed for you every day.(saves on getting up early)we agree about the singer but found having a few drinks before he started dulled the pain.we where in the bungalow rooms,the first room had no balcony,when asking to change rooms we were given a room with a balcony and a king size bed.the hotel and grounds were kept spotlessly clean but be beware when they spray insectercide,usually in the evening, keep the windows shut to avoid fumes.this was the only groan we have.the animation are very friendly but the evening show was run of the mill.
Excellent 1st holiday for Baby
My husband and myself were looking to go somewhere different but not too far away, it was our 10 month olds sons first holiday. I'm so glad we decided on Hurghada & the Siva Grand Beach. We had no idea what to expect & like others had read a few bad reviews. There was construction work going on outside the hotel, roads & pavements, you didn't notice it at all from inside the hotel but it was slightly awkward with a buggy. I've no doubt it will be completed by now. The hotel itself is gorgeous, marble everywhere & a very welcoming atmosphere. It is absolutely spotless with an abundance of staff to keep it that way. We had a suite, it was a great size and again kept very clean. The room was cleaned in the morning & at night someone else came round to see if we required anything & to give us a bottle of water.The restaurants were lovely & the selection of food was great. Ww ere there for 2 weeks & there were no repeats of the previous weeks menu. There are numerous bars, we mainly sat upstairs at night and watched the entertainment. The animation team were lovely, all really friendly & great with kids. In fact all the staff were great with kids, as I mentioned we had a 10 month old son with us & the staff were daft on him. They really went out of their way to make us feel welcome & were really surprised at meeting Scottish people. Egypt as a whole is popular with Germans but remembering they have very high standards so it isn't a bad thing. All people we met British or otherwisw were lovely, very friendly and tried hard to make conversation (despite the language barrier). The hotel has a huge pool area with lots of beds & umbrellas. There is also a gorgeous beach area again with lots of beds & umbrellas. The wind blocks on the beach were great, it was quite windy when we were there but not a single cloud for a fortnight. There is a restaurant on the beach with a bar etc, also around the pool area is a snack area where you can get burgers etc. We went on the Luxor trip, it was a long day for the wee one but you are on and off a coach all day, he slept in between stops. The Valley of the Kings was an amazing experience, I'd highly recommend it.
To sum things up I'd recommend the Siva Grand Beach to anyone. We had a great family holiday, relaxing & very enjoyable. Ww've been to Mexico & Jamaica & I'd prefer Egypt anytime. The standard of accom is brilliant & being able to go out of the hotel & be safe was great.
All staff were very friendly & couldn't do enough to make your holiday enjoyable. They adore children!! Food, accom & entertainment (day & night) was fabulous.
At some point in the future we'll definitely be back.
I recommend,
After reading othes reviews i had mixed feelings on the Siva Grand. I have only been back four days and i have already looked into going out there again in September.
As soon as you arrive at the Siva Grand you will be amazed the hotel is stunning and kept to a very high standard, staff are so friendly and happy to help at all times.A little tip goes along away with the staff.
The food provided had a wide variety and even had a childs section. Im quite fussy with my food, but there was plenty for me to eat and gain the pounds.
We stayed in a junior suite, the rooms were spacious, clean and the beds were fit for kings and queens, your know what i mean when you go.
Enternaiment was provided through out the day and evening,dont worry it is in English, however you will find some will be in German, outside the hotel there are a number of shops to visit, dont be afraid to haggle there use to it, and you will get your bargains.
I wouldn't hesistate in going back, my holiday was fantastic, the staff couldn't have done for me, the hotel was exceptionally clean and im looking forward to returning to the Siva Grand.
Windy but amazing time
Well after reading some of the reviews about the Grand Siva and Hurghada itself was a bit nervoius prior to flight. But i have to say overall i was really impressed, ok there were alot of Germans - or possibly dutch, but they werent rude or arrogant as indicated by some reviewers.
Rooms were lovely, apart from we requested a sea view, and we got a ground floor room that was always in the shade, and from enquiring, found that the due to the building standards our travel operator wouldnt allow us to stay in anything but the ground floor!!
Beach was soooo beautiful, staff were very helpful and really appreciated having english speaking people around, i think they like to practise their language skills.
Highly recommend the snorkeliing trip, and of course scuba.
Food was good, much better than i expected. Trips were more expensive than i was told, but were generally ok - wouldnt recommend the bedouin village (not in Feb anyway) freezing cold on the red sea mountains.
Outside of resort is worth trying, bit scary with shop owners heckling and tugging at you - didnt like that at all, and found myself having to be rude to get away from them.
Overall though, very beautiful country, Luxor & nile are amazing, hotel was comfortable and very friendly, food good, will def go back but later in the year - feb is quite windy and cold at night!!
The lovely siva grand beach.
Went to the Hotel Siva Grand Beach in May 2005 with my freind and our two children, a girl and a boy both age 12. We had a fabulous time. Hurghada is gorgeous, the weather, the Red Sea, the Hotel and the people. The food was very good and the Hotel was fabulously clean. The staff bent over backwards to please us. We definately intend to return in 2007. Other reviews point out the amount of construction in Hurghada and this is true although i only noticed because we could see it when we went on a boat trip other than that we would not have been aware of it. If you are looking for a lazy, indulgent holiday, basking in the sun - then this is it. Everything is extremely cheap, our stay, gifts, drinks and trips. And i mustnt forget to mention the mad italians who entertained us all day and everyday. We also visited Cairo which was very exciting. I would absolutely recommend a holiday at the Hotel Siva Grand Beach.
Brilliant hotel
Visited this hotel at end of April 2005. Was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews.
Needn't have worried, what an amazing hotel! Staff very pleasant and always willing to help. Plenty to eat and drink, food was pretty good, although can be a bit repetitive. Unbelieveably clean also! Verging on obsessive....
The entertainment wasn't our cup of tea (6 women age range 20 - 50 years) - but people seemed to enjoy it. The local drinks are fine, the lager is brilliant. Its worth staying up after 12 and paying for a few drinks if you like a boogie and the Siva after dark is a good laugh once all the kids and oldies have gone to bed.
Had no problem getting a bed at the beach or the pool, despite the resort and hotel being primarily German. All in all the german tourists were fine and happy to have a chat to you if you make the effort.
I would highly recommend this hotel, however the resort of Hurghada is massively under construction and I dare say in a few years it will be more commercial. We had a little bot of hassle (being 6 women) when outside the hotel, but this wasn't threatening and we were NEVER scared. The taxi/bus drivers do however try and rip you off - so if you pass them a 50 pound note (�5 english), they will pass you back a 50 piastre and say you've made a mistake - so be careful of this - or be like us and laugh at it and learn!
Impressed by the Siva by the sea
Good points; Very very clean and always kept that way. One way to know how a resort prioritises its cleanliness is its conditions of the toilets in the public areas. they were always spotless. The staff are generally helpful although when this isn't the case a little tip makes this so. The rooms are again very clean and reasonably well appointed. Food was quite varied and not too spicy, and always plenty of sweets and fruit. Red wine was OK. Beer was OK (you helped yourself in the pub at night!) Lots to do there during the day at the resort but especially if you mix things up by going on a few trips (see below).
Bad points; This is a 90% german occupied resort and this shows a little. I found that a few discreet tips here and there oiled the wheels to help redrees the balance of favour. The entertainment at night is OK for families but quite boring for adults wanting to dance the night away. There is a "disco" after midnight but the artist is truly awful by UK standards but loved by the germans. The all inclusive stops at midnight. You need to get on the beach by around 7.30am in order to claim a spot that has a windbreak. Just do what they do and put your towel down and either go for breakfast or back to bed!!
Do's; Organise your trips through your rep. You dont pay that much more. I went to Luxor on a Sunday, Desert Safari on a Tuesday and Snorkeling on a Thursday. The expertise and care over safety by our hosts on all trips was first class.
Dont's; Be a soft touch when you go shopping. Never offer a price let them give you the price and then barter down. Get upset with the germans - it is a waste of breath.
We booked our holiday last minute and really had no idea what to expect from Egypt or the hotel.
As we pulled into the resort of Hurghada it is very much under development and there is a lot of construction going on. However, when you pull upto the hotel it is amazingly clean and welcoming. The check in process was very quick and easy and we were soon in our stunning suite.
The hotel is very impressive and our first impressions were wow! After we'd unpacked we went straight for dinner and were extremely impressed with the options available. We soon discovered that from the moment you wake the options for food are endless with a huge breakfast, brunch, lunch, ice cream, afternoon tea, dinner etc etc. The food was always excellent!
The staff were extremely friendly and always able to help and the cleanliness was amazing, they seemed to be continually cleaning and ensuring that it stayed that way.
We cannot say how much we enjoyed our stay. My Mum and I went for a relaxing holiday and that is exactly what we had. We made lots of lovely friends there and we all had a great time. We all commented that we could not find any fault with the hotel and would recommend everyone to go to the resort and Egypt. As a rule most trips I have been on have been disappointing, but all the trips we went on were excellent, we did a day trip to Luxor with an Egyptologist who was so insightful into Egypt, his knowledge was amazing.
We are looking forward to returning to Siva Grand Beach to see how it has developed, I think we will be regular visitors! An excellent hotel and staff!!!
Siva "not so" Grand Beach Hotel!
Siva Grand may be "grand" but it is certainly not impressive. Yes, when you pull up to the hotel you think "Wow, we're onto a winner!" but give it 2 days of dining in the hotel restaurants and you'll soon be wishing you were back in the comfort of your own home.
After 2 days of enjoying the sun, sand and snorkelling, both my boyfriend and I found ourselves suffering with severe cases of food poisoning or (Acute Gastroenteritis with mild dehydration) as the doctor diagnosed us with.
My boyfriend dehydrated so much he had to have an infusion (intravenous drip) and found myself having 2 injections to stop my stomach pains and sickness. Which failed to work. We then spent the following 3 days in the same state in bed, only being able to keep down water - this is not my version of an ideal weeks holiday.
When we finally rehydrated enough to step back out into the sun (the last 2 days of our holiday), we soon discovered we were not the only ones suffering. We soon realised that over 40 people in Siva Grand Beach were in exactly the same boat as us and all eager to complain and demanding compensation. When we spoke to other people from other hotels in Hurghada, they didn't seem to have the same problem. This proved to us that there was clearly a hygiene (or lack of it) issue.
So for anyone who is thinking about booking accommodation at the Siva Grand Beach, please think again. Unless of course you want to go on a strict diet!
