Watching For White Smoke — And Misogyny
It's been diverting this past week to join in the Popewatch brouhaha — who doesn't like secretive meetings, signals and intrigue, not to mention red Prada shoes? But now that it's over, the white smoke has risen, the habeus papams have been uttered and Francis has been chosen, let's talk about a less-discussed but no less important story out of the Vatican this week.
Did a Rabbi Permit Self-Mutilation To Promote 'Modesty'?
Ynet has a troubling story about a high-profile rabbi in Israel who gave advice to a young woman to cut her own legs in order to stay religious. The story, if it's true, conflates male religious authority, extreme body cover and self-mutilation, and brings the discussions of the female body in Judaism to a whole new low. The problem is that this story may not be true, in which case instead of highlighting sexism in Orthodox Judaism, the story becomes an example of journalists' sometimes overzealousness in their desire to attack religion by pretending to care about women. Especially given the recent history of media attitudes towards France's burqa ban, the actions of certain journalists are no less troubling than those of religious leaders controlling the female body.
According to the article, written by a young Jerusalem journalist, Ari Galahar, for Yediot Ahranot's Hebrew news site, Rabbi Yizhak Silberstein was asked to respond to a strange query from a young woman who was accepted to a religious academy despite her family's non-religiousness. The young woman, struggling with the academy's strict dress code of long skirts, long sleeves, and covered collarbones because her secular parents were supposedly pressuring her to dress in a more revealing way, asked Silberstein whether she could cut her legs, so that her parents would agree that she must wear a long skirt in order to cover the bruises. The rabbi reportedly responded, "She is permitted to cut herself in order to dress modestly, and thus to escape all sin." He reportedly added that "the blood from the bruise will redeem all of Israel like the blood of the ritual sacrifices."
What Photoshopping Women Out of Photos Is Really About
I have this pet peeve about women sending emails from their husbands' email accounts. Although this was probably more of a common phenomenon towards the beginning of the e-mail era, I still get emails like this, and it drives me crazy.
The hiding of women behind men is not as uncommon as we would perhaps like to believe. I remember getting a sales call a few months ago from a carpet-cleaning agency in which the saleswoman (!) said to me, "Would you like to go ask your husband if it's okay?" Or like the time I got really angry at our mortgage bank for calling me up to tell me that they have a present for my husband's 40th birthday. How exciting, I said to them — and what about me? I had turned 40 just two months earlier. This clerk went searching around her papers and said she's sorry, that only my husband's information is listed in the computer. I signed the mortgage papers, too, I tried to tell her. But there I was, deleted as an entity by someone punching information into a machine. All these situations are the same, really: It's all about women's invisibility.
In Giffords's Assassination Attempt, Misogyny Exposed
It's been a roller-coaster week of emotions in the wake of the Gabrielle Giffords shooting that horrified the nation last Saturday. On Wednesday, Sarah Palin confused and appalled Jewish groups by claiming that she was the victim of a "blood libel," — a particularly curious choice of words, given that Giffords is Jewish. The same day, President Obama used the power of his oratory to attempt to bring hope and unity to an angry, bewildered nation. Obama urged us to join together and avoid recriminations, and he was right in sounding that note. But without directly pointing fingers I think we do have to interrogate our national character and ask why so many of us were shattered, but not surprised, about Saturday's events?
When I first found out about the shooting, it was through a breaking news alert on my phone. Not near a computer, I had no idea if the shooting was a random rampage, a targeted attack, a product of a lone psycho or an ideologue. As the daughter of baby boomers traumatized by the wave of political assassinations of the '60s, and as a political writer who fretted about all the violent potential in the last two years — semiautomatic guns at political rallies, leaders spewing hatred tinged with menace, budget cuts and job loss cutting off help to the desperate and mentally disturbed — I saw a pot primed to boil over.
Homophobia: An Insidious Outgrowth of Misogyny
Let's be honest: It's not like I was going to vote for Carl Paladino in the first place. If there were some kind of reverse political dictionary, and I was in it, Carl Paladino would be listed as my particularly aggressive antonym. That was before he decided to publicly demonstrate his homophobia, while bringing the Jewish community into it. Unfortunately, it's not as though we weren't in it to begin with. This is everyone's problem, whether or not we consider ourselves to be queer positive folks, but particularly if we do.
Even if you were never planning on voting for Paladino, even if you were disgusted beyond any reasonable definition of the word at his remarks to the congregation in Brooklyn, it's still vital to understand that homophobia is not an oppression that stands alone; it's a particularly insidious outgrowth of sexism, and even in its most progressive corners, the Jewish community is guilty of perpetuating both.

Hot water swirled the tea leaves in tiny pottery cups, brewing liquid serenity.
Inside Eunkyung Na's Amarillo apartment, the peace of a Korean tea ceremony rebuffed the wail of an ambulance on the street below.
Na knelt with her guests on silk cushions, her slow, graceful movements accompanied by a CD of low Buddhist chants, plucked strings of a Korean zither and clear tones of a wind instrument.
"My tea teacher said, 'A cup of tea is not just a cup of tea. There's a universe in a cup of tea,' " she would later explain.
Na has brought that universe to Amarillo.
A native of South Korea who immigrated to the United States as a Minnesota graduate student, Na studied the art of Korean and Japanese tea ceremonies while living and traveling in the Asian countries in recent years.
Her fascination with tea actually started in her childhood.
"As a young girl, I had dreamed someday to have all different teas and invite my friends and, according to the mood of the day, I would serve tea," Na said.
The revelation was new to her husband, Dr. Michael Vorris, who said he hadn't heard about the dream before but bragged of her diligence in obtaining tea knowledge. A trip to study last summer in a Muan, Korea, monastery came with the stipulation that she cook and clean for her Buddhist monk teacher.
Vorris, a West Texas A&M University international business professor, had a hand in causing Na's tea pursuit, when he accepted a teaching assignment that took the couple to Japan for three years and Korea for a year.
Because his position required them to move every four months, Na gave up her consulting job for Citibank, where she had helped develop foreign language software. Looking for something to do, she sought a way to improve the Japanese she already spoke and decided to pursue two pastimes, pottery and tea.
"Everywhere I went, I searched for the tea master, the well-known tea master," Na said. "And I took lessons, private lessons."
Na learned formal Japanese ceremonies using powder tea, rather than leaves, and less formal Korean ceremonies, which she prefers.
"Korean tea is very spontaneous and very natural," she said. "During the tea, you talk.
"I would say Korean (tea ceremony) is older. The reason is that when I studied powder tea in Japan, there were lots of Korean elements, and I was wondering why. The bowls and the architecture of the tea room, the decoration - there were Korean and Chinese elements."
The powdered tea used in Japanese ceremonies comes in cakes, from which pieces are broken and ground for use, Na said, showing cakes made by the Muan monk. The dark cakes had been molded into the shapes of lotus flowers and other Asian symbols.
"The shape of the cake is different, according to the period, too," she said.
Na has gathered many tools for her ceremonies, from a hammered sterling silver teapot with raised lotus petals, to tea sets made by her pottery teachers and some she has hand-thrown.
She explained the utensils, including a delicate whisk.
"This is a replica," she said. "The real one is in Korean National Museum."
Though steeped in ritual, the more casual Korean ceremony allows participants to talk "not about money or the stress of things, but about tea tools or nature," she said.
Na answered questions about tea procedure and, more reservedly, herself. She currently is translating a Japanese book into Korean about the life of a Korean potter captured and taken to Japan.
But the translation task is not her first foray into writing.
An English literature major in Korea who changed her focus to counseling and psychology as a graduate student in the United States, Na drew on both fields of study in publishing two nonfiction books in Korea.
Her first book told of her experiences living and working in New York City. In her second book, she applied the traits learned while her husband helped her train for a Boston marathon to the business setting.
"I was not a runner at all," said Na, who now has run two of Boston's signature races. "I learned so much during the training, and to qualify for that race, I had to train like a madwoman."
Na also regularly contributes articles about tea to a Korean tea magazine. The tea she shared came from her native land.
"I ordered quite a lot last year, but Korea is a small country and they don't export that much," she said.
Market prices for Korean tea can run as much as $60 to $100 per 100 grams, depending upon when it was harvested. She expects a shipment from this year's harvest soon.
"It will come at the end of this month," she said. "And we will celebrate a new crop. Korea produces very good-quality tea."
Na sees tea as much more than leaves and water.
"A cup of tea is not just a cup of tea, I learned, because it has many elements," she said. "It is used for detoxification. It has medicinal value. Our ancestors found it clears your mind, and they thought this a very special thing. Our ancestors offered tea to their ancestors and to the heavens during the ritual.
"They knew how to live a good life. They had time. Not hurried. It calms your mind. It's very peaceful."
Green Tea
Korean green tea is classified by its harvest time, Amarilloan Eunkyung Na said.
The first picked is called Wu Jeon, meaning "before rain." Wu Jeon has high-quality, delicate leaves and is harvested around April 20.
The second picked is called Say Jak, "thin sparrow's tongue," and is harvested around May 1.
The third picked is called Jung Jak, "medium sparrow's tongue," and is harvested in mid-May.
The fourth picked is called Dae Jak, "large sparrow's tongue," and is harvested at the end of May.

Objective.— Despite the proliferation of electronic information retrieval (IR) systems
for physicians, their effectiveness has not been well assessed. The purpose
of this review is to provide a conceptual framework and to apply the results
of previous studies to this framework.
Data Sources.— All sources of medical informatics and information science literature,
including MEDLINE, along with bibliographies of textbooks in these areas,
were searched from 1966 to January 1998.
Study Selection.— All articles presenting either classifications of evaluation studies
or their results, with an emphasis on those studying use by physicians.
Data Extraction.— A framework for evaluation was developed, consisting of frequency of
use, purpose of use, user satisfaction, searching utility, search failure,
and outcomes. All studies were then assessed based on the framework.
Data Synthesis.— Due to the heterogeneity and simplistic study designs, no meta-analysis
of studies could be done. General conclusions were drawn from data where appropriate.
A total of 47 articles were found to include an evaluation component and were
used to develop the framework. Of these, 21 articles met the inclusion criteria
for 1 or more of the categories in the framework. Most use of IR systems by
physicians still occurs with bibliographic rather than full-text databases.
Overall use of IR systems occurs just 0.3 to 9 times per physician per month,
whereas physicians have 2 unanswered questions for every 3 patients.
Conclusions.— Studies comparing IR systems with different searching features have
not shown that advanced searching methods are significantly more effective
than simple text word methods. Most searches retrieve only one fourth to one
half of the relevant articles on a given topic and, once retrieved, little
is known about how these articles are interpreted or applied. These studies
imply that further research and development are needed to improve system utility
and performance.

How to get rid of bleach scent in your sinus cavity?
I spent about an hour cleaning the bathroom today with bleach water.
Now I can't get the smell of bleach out of my nose. It's even making my eyes water.
I took a shower after I finished cleaning the bathroom, but that was four hours ago. Is there any way to get rid of the foul odor in my sinuses without having to replace it with an even more foul odor?

Time. It will wear off eventually.When you get to the end of all the light you know
and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
you will be given something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly. - Edward Teller
Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
there are signs that the world is speedily
coming to an end;
bribery and corruption are common; children no
longer obey their parents;
every man wants to write a book and the
end of the world is evidently approaching.
From a translation of an inscription on
an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Paul & Joe's Kitty Lipstick C in Sex Kitten » -
It has certainly been a month for the kitty cats since the very popular launch of Paul & Joe's Tenth Anniversary Meow Collection. We can barely keep these products on our shelves due to public demand as well as all the magazine beauty editors that have fallen in love with this purr-fect range. The Face and Eye Color Palette was featured in Oprah's 'O' magazine and now the Paul & Joe Lipstick C in Sex Kitten has just graced the pages of Lucky. In the Beauty Spy section, the kitty lipstick was featured amongst others items that had a certain floral 'je ne sais quoi' about them. The beautiful paper packaing that surrounds the lipstick is on it's own a collectors item. In fact, many of the prints that are used on the makeup line are actually taken from the prints used on the latest Paul & Joe clothing seen on the runways! All three of the kitty lipsticks are gorgeous with Sex Kitten (nude beige), Meow (a natural pink) and Catwalk (a glamorous orange hue).
«Tanda Pearl Ionic Teeth Whitening -
Tanda light therapy has revolutionized how we fight off signs of aging and eliminate acne but their latest product targets a part of the body that is known to be one of the first things that a person notices, their smile, and the unfortunate discoloration of teeth in that smile, that is less than appealing. The Tanda Pearl Ionic Teeth Whitening System is revolutionary in that it uses ionic technology to give you professionally whiter teeth in just five to ten treatments. Many teeth whitening systems that use light such as Zoom has to be done under the supervision of a dental professional, whereas the Tanda Pearl is enamel safe, built for at home use and has zero sensitivity or irritation. Dental whitening can take many hours of discomfort while this treatment only needs to be done for 5 minutes a day in the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule.

It emphasises the importance of avoiding overconfidence amongst trainees and indicates how training can be more effective and balanced.
Advancing Sustainable Safety
Advancing Sustainable Safety critically examines the Sustainable Safety vision. Adaptations were made where necessary, because we have learned since our initial steps on the way towards a sustainably safe traffic. Advancing insights and new developments have also prompted the update of this vision.
Action for advanced Driver assistance and Vehicle control systems Implementation,
Standardisation, Optimum use of the Road network and Safety.
Research and development have created a range of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that may facilitate the tasks of drivers in the growing complexity of traffic conditions. ADAS are fitted to an ever larger number of road vehicles, while it is not clear how they impact on environmental and safety performance of the road transport system.
The goal of AINO is to develop the collection, management and utilisation of real time information in transport and thereby to create prerequisites for concrete ITS services, which will improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the transport systems as well as increase the well-being of citizens and the competitiveness of Finnish companies.

Even though road fatalities per year have fallen by almost percent since 1990, they still numbered almost 40 000 in 2001. Despite early reductions, the number of road injuries has been rising again since 1993 and is now almost equal to the level in 1990 (Source: European environment agency). The decrease in the number of road transport fatalities and increase in the number of injuries at increasing number of road accidents can, amongst others, be explained by introduction of improved technologies for newer vehicles and higher vehicle safety standards
APSN - Advanced Passive Safety Network
The aim of APSN is to mobilise the European scientific & business expertise in Vehicle Passive Safety to accelerate improvements in road safety in order to reduce the annual road victims for the European Union.

Reagan's first Michigan trip! Day 7!
June 25, 2015
Time to head home! :(
After one last yummy free breakfast at the hotel, we got a luggage cart, which Reagan had fun riding (parents of the year right here!), and headed back up to the hotel room to get all of our luggage, and started loading up the car! Its always sad to head home after a fun vacation.
As soon as we got in the car, we told Reagan to wave and say bye bye to the hotel, so she did, and then asked where we were going. I told her ...

We had planned to check out Saugatuck Dunes State Park first, thinking it had nice trails if we wanted to be adventurous and a nice beach if we wanted to just relax. We got there and were disappointed to find out that hiking a 2.5 mile long trail was the ONLY way to get to the beach. Needless to say with ...

It's the winter that refuses to quit.
While most people may be sick of shovelling their sidewalks or shuffling down the street, ski resorts around the city have been loving the white stuff.
"We've definitely seen the best snow conditions in at least the last five years," says Blue Mountain spokesperson Ashley Boland.
A couple of days into spring, they've got a base of over 130 cm.
"We've been helped out greatly by the natural accumulation," she says. "We were moving into limited snow-making operations into early January."
That's pretty unheard of.
It's the same story at Snow Valley in Barrie. "Mother Nature kind of did the job for us in a big way," says assistant general manager Peter Hanney.
The early snowfall allowed them to open up early this season - around the end of November. Typically they open within the first 12 days of December.
"Not only did we open early but we opened with almost full facilities, which is unheard of."
But both resorts say ridership did take a bit of a hit on those freezing cold days. "Too cold is too cold," says Hanney. "It's almost as bad a rain our world."
With the below seasonal temperatures expected to continue for the next few weeks, both resorts say they'll stay open as long as they can.
"We'll be open until March 30 and then we'll play it by ear," says Hanney, adding they could open up slopes on weekends in April.
Blue Mountain has no end date in sight, opting to go for as long as the weather will allow.
"If we can ski well into April, we will," says Boland.

Before beginning your self storage search in Sherman, there are a few things you should know. Storage unit prices and availability in Sherman are determined by many different factors, including real estate, population growth, the wealth of the local population, the current economic climate, and more. In order to give you a better idea of these factors in Sherman, we pulled in data from the US Census.
If there are many people moving to or from Sherman, prices could be higher than in other cities. That's because self storage if often used as part of a home move. Population changes over time are one way of gauging the amount of moving activity in Sherman. According to the US Census, the Sherman metro area's population grew from 38,404 in 2010 to 39,943 in 2014, a growth rate of 4.01%.
Housing unit occupancy can give us an idea of what the demand is like for living and storage space in Sherman. Low rates of vacancy in Sherman housing could indicate that real estate is in short supply. Self storage units in Sherman may then also be in short supply, which means Sherman storage unit prices may be higher. The US Census estimates that housing vacancy rates in Sherman are at 9.7%, while the occupancy rate is at 90.3%. The average occupancy rate in US cities is 89%, so it's likely the case that storage facilities in Sherman also have higher than average occupancy rates. High occupancy rates in Sherman will make it more difficult to find a good deal on a storage unit.

Posted on 04/18/2002 7:38:52 PM PDT by midwestmidnight
I was listening to WTVN 610 AM (Columbus, OH) this evening. They were interviewing Kenneth Timmerman about his book Shakedown. He apologized for delaying the start of his interveiw as he had to talk to his editor at Insight Magazine about meeting his deadline for this story to break on Friday morning (4/19/02). He commented that the story will present evidence that the Clinton Administration and the FBI covered-up information linking Timothy McVey and Middle Eastern Terrorists. Timmerman stated that Clinton wanted to pin all of the blame on Right-Wing Extremists.
The most interesting new thing I've read since the execution puts Nichols and an unidentified second person in Mindanao consulting with the Abu Sayyaf. The whole thing stinks to high heaven and it was a serious mistake to kill him so soon.
Oh, I'd give it the same odds that the sun will rise in the west tommorow morning.
If this story really does hit the mainstream media tomorrow, mark my words -- the anthrax cases will be "solved" shortly thereafter.
Weren't there some body parts that were never identified? Could there been Homicide Bombers involved ? (I almost posted Boomers)
(Contrast the missing leg/victim to the reaction of those who lost loved ones on 9/11. They were desperate to find if their loved ones died in the towers. But at OKC, an extra leg is found, it's owner obviously dead -- and it's no big deal, no one reports a missing "loved one")
I must admit I'm very anxious to see what will be presented tomorrow, even though, over the years my hopes have been high, then dashed, as I'm sure yours have too.
I wouldn't bet you a penny, because you are probably right.
The government's official position was that the FBI/ATF did no wrong.
Mainstream press held to the party line.
When they admitted that they knew that they used incidiary devices, there were again claims of "this is not an issue" even though they long denied it. The press refused to take them to task over it.
Different case but it shows the deceipt.
Please let this one be different, because I have no doubt that it is true."
Big-time prayer bump.
I agree with you in Jesus' name. That's two of us, right?
Even Dan Rather went on Don Imus believing that there was a group that had targeted the same building (with blueprints) for an April 19th attack years before.
Basically for all the smoke and mirrors, they convicted McVeigh of a mayhem charge and premeditated murder of several federal officials. Yet there was no real vendetta against those officials. The ones he was supposed to be angered about (the Waco officials) were all out. A lot of damage but not a brilliant plan if his targets all got away (as well as destroying Waco evidence). The civillians that died were publicly mourned but their deaths did not figure into his case. They were set aside to be used as they are against Nichols; trials for murders until he is convicted with a death sentence.
Because the majority are mind-numb sheeple and believe whatever they hear on the news.
You are kidding right?
The Clinton Administration WAS A MASSIVE COVER-UP, and the media was (and is) complicit. They voted for Clinton, they are leftists, and they get their talking points from the DNC.
I hope you don't ascribe some 'feel-good' theory that journalists are objective people. The main-stream media is a leftist propaganda machine, and they know expertly how to manipulate public perception. They tell the public what to think, then poll them on it, and then they and the DNC site the polls to bolster their manufactured brainwashing. If the public still isn't sucking down the democrat hook, line and sinker, then they just ignore the polls or just keep pounding out the propaganda -- i.e. campaign finance reform. (main-stream media lobbied the DNC/McCain to the toon of around $10,000,000 to pass CFR).
I'd appreciate the info and help. :)
I'm just encouraged that the Clinton Legacy is developing such a strong foundation. He is, no doubt, the best president the Palestinians have ever had.

I often wondered why the public just accepted (fill in the blank).
IF this really becomes a big story tomorrow and Bush has been planning this to blow Iraq out of the water and splatter all over Clinton.
Maybe he let all the other Clinton stuff slide because of this? He knew it would be coming and would be brushed aside if all we had heard for a year was "Clinton this, Clinton that." Those Republicans just hate Clinton, they can't let it go! And the public says "Zzzzzzzz".
'Bout a one in a million shot at being right. But it would be so satisfying.
Live video evidence would have meant nothing to those people.
I am hereby announcing my personal boycott of all things having to do with one R Blake.
It's a painful thing to contemplate for me, but I have felt that the wonder men who bailed our arses out in WWII, later failed to use their retirement time wisely to take Clinton out.
The older set basicly gave the most despicable man in US history a free pass. Sad.
Wonderful thought, but Bush has always gone out of his way to wash his hands of any Clinton-related scandal. Won't touch it at all. Nobody in the so-called "news media" will dig anything up either (if there is anything to dig up).
An acquaintance of mine who happens to work in the mining equipment field told me once that while nitrate fertilizer can indeed be used to make a bomb, it is normally used as an accelerant, not as the actual explosive, and that there wasn't enough power in that quantity of material to do that kind of damage. He also claimed that McVeigh couldn't have done this on his own, and that there was talk of a Middle Eastern connection. This was in '95 and I never thought much about it until 9-11.
Based upon the ad you linked to, it looks like the delusional ramblings of someone badly in need of medication. What possible evidence could they have presented in that video which convinced you that our government was complicit in the attacks of 9/11? Do you have any idea how insane that sounds? How absolutely implausible? Is it not at least equally plausible that this video was produced solely to milk profits from conspiracy nuts?
Clinton's BIN LADEN GATE
OKLAHOMA BOMBING LINKED TO BIN LADEN (Captured Chemical Notes Say in Bosnian Was used in Oklahoma)
The Balkan Branches of the Terror Network "in search of blond Moslems"
Ah hah!
LOL and Happy Birthday to a true patriot's son.
This is a thought I have had about a lot of things that were supposedly never ivestigated. It may be so deep it could be dangerous to unload it in any way other than carefully timed, use it to maximum advantage. One can only hope.
Oh, I dunno. That one's been used so much lately.

Copenhagen We like Copenhagen and have been a few times but this time we decided to walk from the ship around the dockside and into town. The small marina just along from the berth was nice and we found some 'friendly' locals to pass a few minutes with. I have seen the mermaid before but my wife had not, and was dissapointed that the mermaid has been transported to China for the world trade fair and they have a large screen showing the crowds walking around it. It was nice to see lots of seating available as it was very hot and we needed to rest several times. We did the normal tourist spots with the Palace and the canal with all the bars etc. Again we were lucky and it seems all the shops had sales on. They are currently doing lots of road works on the main round about and the end of the canal and before the road to the shops, not too bad but it was a little busy whilst trying not to get run over whilst crossing the major road.
Stockholm We berthed in the port a little way from the port, it is walkable but only if you are used to walking a few miles daily. We got the shuttle bus which dropped us in the centre of town close to the old part of town which has some good places to visit. My main mission was to go to the Hard Rock Cafe which took about 30 mins to walk to even in the heat. It has been a while since my last visit it was very clean with loads of shops, eating places etc. Not a cheap place to shop and you have to have the local currency which we exchanged on board for both this port and Gothenburg. We found a small stall to purchase a fridge magnet at a resonable price. A good day.
Helsinki We decided to get the hop on hop off bus as we found it better value for money then the shuttle bus. This was at the berth when we got off the ship and the price included both routes for a 24 hour period (25 euros per head). Even if it was a sunday when we visited there was a market in the main square with some quality goods and at reasonable prices and in Euros. We managed to find a small cafe where we had lunch, not cheap but really nice and a good quantity. We did both routes of the bus and managed to hop off a few times taking in the sights and got a good impression of the city.
St Petersburg The main reason for this cruise, we pre booked two excursions - The last of the Romanos an 8 hour trip and a walking tour of St Petersburg lasting 4 hours the next day. We berthed in the new cruise terminal which they are still developing. After an early breakfast and meeting in the theatre with the rest of the ship, we had to fill in a small questionnaire for immigration. The actual process was quite swift with the lady actually laughing at my passport photo, and I was being serious for a change. The organisation for the coaches etc was very good and our guide on the first day superb. We were issued with radio headphones so our guide could talk to us through the crowds of noise, which worked very well on the first day. The trip itself included three palaces, lunch and a fair bit of walking. Again we were a 'lucky' with the sun as it was 36 degrees.... this proved to make the palaces a bit warm especially as we had to put on plastic over shoes (made the feet a bit warm) but understand the reason why as the work that has been done is wonderful. The meal that was included in the price was a bit rushed as I think a few coach loads turned up at the same time but the meal itself was surprisingly good. Included was caviar, a salad, Borch, chicken something... and ice cream for pudding and we also had some fizzy wine and a bottle of water between two. If you needed anything else you had to pay in rubbles or on your card. On our way back to the ship we stopped at a couple of places with opportunities for shopping at markets for those Russian dolls etc, you must haggle and they accept dollars. The following day we did the walking tour which I found better as you actually to see a bit more of the real city. The guide this time was not as good as our previous one, and we had to listen hard to understand what she was telling us and the headphone system did not seem to cope with out doors, but we did enjoy this trip again we an chance to spend some dollars at another market. A local group of musicians came on board and played for a couple of hours and we thought them better than the entertainment the previous evening in the theatre. We would definately go back to this port. The excursions were well organised and overall value for money with the ease of things.
Tallinn The last time I visited was 25 years ago when Tallinn didn't have a great deal of tourism, how things have changed. A new port (new to me) where all the cruise liners berth (we had a couple with us including Queen Victoria) so the place was a bit busy. You can walk into town from the dock which would take around 15-20 mins, we took the bus as again it was too hot. The old part of town is still very well preserved and great photos to be had. We stoopped at 'Old Hansa' a shop and eating place set out for the 15th century, a great place to stop and purchase some real antiques. They preferred Euros rather than dollars unless you have the local currency, but they do haggle the prices. If all else fails there is a market at the end of the jetty where you can purcahse all things local at good prices.
Gothenburg - Sweden. Our first visit and the way to the port is full of turns and very narrow lanes, great for photos and observing the seamanship of the crew. We berthed in the container port as I don't think the ship could get under the bridge which lead to the city. A group of jazz musicians welcomed us ashore. The local tourst board were in attendance and supplied us with a very good book with a map inside which we have kept. We had to get the shuttle bus as it is about 9km walk, a bit too far in the heat we had... but once in the city we found it clean with lots of shops (how many Mcdonalds can you get in one town?) with very friedly shop assistants. A tip.. I was on a search for an internet cafe and found a 7-11 with some terminals, but there system was not working but suggested the library. I am now a member of the Gothenburg library were access is free and you can even print off a limited amount of pages daily for no cost. A marching band paraded along the berth on our departure, a great sendoff.

The Razer Tarantula is a hardcore gaming keyboard that has every feature a gamer could want, with one noticeable exception – no backlit keys. It's still a solid, comfortable keyboard though, with plenty of extras and although we struggled a bit with the included software, once everything was working we were surprised at the amount of customization it offered.
Features and Design
The Tarantula is a wired keyboard with full-size keys, a keypad and special feature buttons on both the right and left side of the keyboard. It's all-black, with blue backlighting on the macro keys on both sides, and a pulsing Razer logo beneath the palm rest. The keyboard has a number of intriguing features.
The blue Razer logo on the palm rest softly pulses on and off
Anti-ghosting capability: We weren't sure what this was when we read it on the box, but apparently it's the ability to allow up to ten buttons to be pressed at once without the keyboard freezing.
Onboard memory: The Tarantula has 32kb of onboard memory that is used to store profiles for different games, so you can have a custom profile for each game you play (as long as you don't play more than five games concurrently).
Ultra-responsive: Razer claims the keyboard polls (or "reads keystrokes") at 1000Hz, which is eight times faster than a standard keyboard for increased responsiveness.
Programmable hotkeys: Each side of the keyboard has five programmable keys, and the keys themselves can also be replaced with custom keys that have icons instead of letters or numbers such as grenades, ammo, rifle, etc.
The Tarantula sports ten programmable keys, and you can even replace keys ten included icon keys for ammo, rifle, etc.
Headphone and mic jacks: You can plug your headphone and microphone directly into the Tarantula, rather than having to sneak behind your PC to plug them in. There are also two non-powered USB ports as well.
Headset users can plug their sets directly into the Tarantula for easy access
Programmable Media keys: The Tarantula features programmable media keys that let you control your media player of choice. You can also turn down the volume, zoom in on pictures, open your browser or put your PC to sleep.
Battledock: Above the keyboard is a small USB plug that lets you plug in Razer accessories such as the BattleLight, which is a light for the keyboard.
The optional BattleLight provides night time illumination
Use and Testing
We tested the Tarantula for several weeks and came away impressed, but not blown away. When we first took the Tarantula out of the box we were surprised by how large it is. It's a normal keyboard size from top to bottom, but is extra wide due to the extra buttons adorning both sides of it.
We flipped up the little tabs on the back as we prefer a slightly elevated keyboard, and found the ergonomics immediately comfortable. We then decided to plug it in, and discovered there are two USB cables, one thick and one thin. You can get by with just the thick cable, but the other cable provides power to the USB ports. The ports are non-powered though, and run at USB 1.1 speed, so they will not work with a USB key, but will be just fine for a mouse or headset.
Once everything was connected we were stoked to find that the media keys and extra buttons worked fine in Windows with no drivers. Of course, we wanted to customize them so we decided to install the included software. Once we had done that, we were dismayed to find that the keyboard was not being detected by the software, even though it was working fine in Windows. Not surprisingly, this is the exact same problem we had with the Razer DeathAdder mouse. This is obviously a problem Razer needs to address as mice from its competitors just work, and there's no need to update firmware, uninstall drivers and re-install them, etc. Once we had updated both the firmware and the driver for the mouse we were able to make some customizations, and we liked how easy it was to select different programs to use for the custom buttons. The buttons themselves are easy to use as well though they do take a bit of force to press down.
We also fiddled with the macro settings and were surprised at the amount of customization available. You can select a macro key, then press the buttons you want it to perform, and you can even insert delays between key presses from 50ms to 200ms. You then select which profile it goes in, and you can store up to 100 profiles. We also removed a few keys with the included "key remover tool" and found the process quite easy.
For gaming and desk jockey work the Tarantula is very comfortable and felt great to our fingers. We were never able to perceive any extra bit of precision, however, and the keyboard felt like a normal keyboard to us. The one big area of disappointment is that the keys are not backlit, which is odd given that the keys on the edges of the keyboard are backlit. And since this is a keyboard that costs $100 USD, we expect that feature.
The Tarantula is a great keyboard, no doubt. It's comfortable, sturdy and has useful extras. But it's a minor let down, and at $100 USD it's a bit overpriced. We liked the ergonomics, the extra features and the general feel of the keys and the palm rest, but were put off by the difficult software installation, lack of backlighting and somewhat high price tag.
• Comfortable ergonomics
• Useful extra buttons
• Lots of customization potential
• Indiscernible "precision,"
• Main keys are not backlit
• Wonky software
