The Tea Rose: A Novel (original 2002; edition 2003)
by Jennifer Donnelly
Work details
The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly (2002)
Just started this series by Jennifer Donnelly - listening to it on audible audio - definitely an interesting read - late 1800's in England - Jack the Ripper, the consequences of dock workers starting a union, the hardworking Irish family life style, the tea business and the dreams of a young couple all come to life in this book. Definitely a character driven book that keeps you routing for them until the last page. Book 1 of a 3 Book series.
Fiona Finnegan is the eldest daughter of working class family in 1888 London. She works in the Burton Tea Factory filling tins with tea, dreaming of the day she and her boyfriend, Joe Bristow, can open their own shop. Her father becomes mixed up in unionizing Burton's and her mother accidentally runs into a notorious killer. This is just the first of many tragedies that will affect Fiona's life and future. She is forced to flee London, taking only her five year old brother Seamus. She decides to catch the first ship to America, where she will pursue her dreams, along with some revenge.
This is a big, epic story that reminded me of a larger than life soap opera. There's tragedy, revenge, and romance. I think there are a lot of historical inaccuracies here, but it didn't spoil the fun I had reading it. I started to think it was more of a historical romance than a family saga at some point, and while Fiona is portrayed as a woman who is determined to make it on her own, it's really rich men who help her overcome every obstacle. Nevertheless, I'm giving it a much higher rating than the Man Booker nominee I'm just finishing. Why? Because when Tea Rose was done I said, "I've got to pick up the next book in the series" and when I finished Hot Milk I said "thank goodness that's over". Sometimes the brain just wants candy, not kale.
This book took me 120 pages to get into,almost gave up a few times.It was worth the effort.Historical fiction set in Jack the Ripper London,with the murders intertwining with our story.Fiona is one very strong,independent woman,a survivor.This story is love,mystery,suspense,it has it all well written.
The love story of Joe and Fiona was lovely,BUT there were so many missed chances that it became a bit tiresome. By the time they got together,I was just glad it was over and done. BUT this was a worthwhile read.Enjoyable and a page turner at times.
this book was amazing. 5 stars. very dramatic and heartfelt. loved the Victorian London setting
This is the first book of the Rose series and I love it. It was exciting from the start and held me gripped. The story is set in the late 19th century. Fiona Finnigan works in a tea factory. She has a fine nose and recognizes the tea by its smell. She lives with her family in a working class neighbourhood. Her father is a union leader and is killed because of it. Fiona's great love is Joe Bristow. This love is put into this first volume to a hard test. Fiona's family is killed and she flees with her little brother to her uncle to America. Fiona is ambitious and creates in NY her own tea imperium. During this time she seeks revenge for the death of her family in London. As she travels from inheritance reasons back to London, the situation of revenge escalates.
It is very fast-paced. Sometimes I despaired of Fiona's naivety, it is nevertheless a shrewd businesswoman but emotionally not always the strongest. I look forward to the sequels.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312378025, Paperback)
East London, 1888 - a city apart. A place of shadow and light where thieves, whores, and dreamers mingle, where children play in the cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night, where bright hopes meet the darkest truths. Here, by the whispering waters of the Thames, Fiona Finnegan, a worker in a tea factory, hopes to own a shop one day, together with her lifelong love, Joe Bristow, a costermonger's son. With nothing but their faith in each other to spur them on, Fiona and Joe struggle, save, and sacrifice to achieve their dreams.
But Fiona's life is shattered when the actions of a dark and brutal man take from her nearly everything-and everyone-she holds dear. Fearing her own death, she is forced to flee London for New York. There, her indomitable spirit propels her rise from a modest West Side shop-front to the top of Manhattan's tea trade. But Fiona's old ghosts do not rest quietly, and to silence them, she must venture back to the London of her childhood, where a deadly confrontation with her past becomes the key to her future.

- - Vectran sleeve for anchor rode? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/97984-vectran-sleeve-anchor-rode.html)
Vectran sleeve for anchor rode?
Hi, I just had a thought, being relatively satisfied with rope in my neighbourhood, only being nervous about having the rope cut by something.
Now, I figure I could use chain for the first bit, but I'd rather not.
I can say beforehand, that the boat I'm getting this for, is 43 feet, really slim (225cm/7'4") and weighs in at just over four tonnes. It's low, so not much windage.
I will handle my anchor with a winch, but no anchor roller, so the anchor itself will be lifted out of the water by hand, hence me thinking I might be able to get around the use of chain. The anchor itself will weigh around 15kg/33lbs. (and a slightly bigger for stronger winds).
What about a leaded anchor rode (as in "rope"), but having the lower half covered in Vectran, so as to protect against cuts? I mean, obviously, Dyneema won't work as it's not springy at all and is surprisingly easily cut, but Vectran or Kevlar (as used in stab proof vests) seems to be a completely different thing.
I'm not worried about the price of the sleeve (obviously), but I don't want to waste time ordering and installing the stuff (plus the splicing needed afterwards) only to find it was a waste of time and effort
P.S. I just know that someone will come along and rhetorically ask "Why don't you give it a try, and then report back to us", lol.
Re: Vectran sleeve for anchor rode?
I'm not sure if this is a put-on or not, but I do not believe I have ever known anyone who uses only line to anchor a 40 odd foot boat, in over 50 years as a mariner.
You seem to have no understanding of the principles of anchoring and I would suggest you read some of the threads on anchoring and readjust your thinking, before you lose your boat.
If it is a put-on, then you got me; good on you.
Re: Vectran sleeve for anchor rode?
Capta, don't think length, think weight. It's not a big boat. And we obviously sail in different waters.
I also mentioned the width and height of the boat, because it is really narrow so it will cut through the waves at anchor, and the height of the thing, because windage, or lack of same, matters.
Unless I'm mistaken, Vectran, Spectra, Dyneema and so on, wasn't around for most of those 50 years as mariner. If you think about it, I'm asking for something easier for the hands than chain, weighted like chain, and with a cut resistance, if not equal to, then closer to chain than polyester or nylon.
Way to think out of the box. I'm done with wire in boats as well. I prefer more modern solutions (Dyneema, Spectra etc.).
Edit: If you're wondering about the anchor, it's a Manson Supreme, and the backup is a Fortress type thing, so the weights should be plenty for my use.
Re: Vectran sleeve for anchor rode?
To the best of my knowledge, none of the rope you have mentioned has any elasticity. 5 tons versus a 33 pound anchor (bigger in more wind) with no elasticity is a recipe for disaster. Do you use dacron double braid, Vectran, Spectra or Dyneema for dock lines?
Good luck thinking outside the box on anchoring. You don't have to be a circumnavigator to have a 50 knot squall (or more) come through an anchorage kicking up some pretty ugly seas.
Re: Vectran sleeve for anchor rode?
Re: Vectran sleeve for anchor rode?
a. I think you will have some problems with the sleeve moving separately from the rode. Normally the sleeve and line have similar elasticity.
b. I think you will need some chain--at least 10 feet--to hold the shank down during setting. I have tried going without chain for small boats and it is a problem. Even more so with high-mod lines, which generally less dense than nylon (float).
Consider using some chain backed by high-mod and using a VERY long snubber (50 feet). Multihull sailors understand your point. With that sort of a performance boat, non-conventional solutions must be investigated. My last boat was an all-Kevlar cat and carrying much chain was out of the question.
Re: Vectran sleeve for anchor rode?
Thanks a bunch for your answer!
Now that you have put it into my mind, perhaps I should go look at some multihull forums to see what they do. Do you happen to know some (I'm really not well versed in multihulls, having never been on one, except a hobie cat decades ago)?
Re: Vectran sleeve for anchor rode?
I have been kicking around the idea of an all dyneema anchor line for a while. Sure you loose stretch, but so do all chain rodes as well and I don't see anyone screaming about all chain as a problem, though a snubber would be in order.
The biggest issue as you bring up is abrasion, but frankly the best thing for that would be a larger sleave of 12 strand dyneema added to the solid dyneema core. There are also some abrasion specific covers you could look at made from tightly woven Dacron you could look at as well.
As for a dyneema core over something else. I wouldn't. The same reason plastic tubing makes such a terrible abrasion sleave would apply. Ie the two lines stretch independently of each other creating a huge amount of internal friction.
Re: Vectran sleeve for anchor rode?
Thanks, but I'm not talking Dyneema for the sleeve, I'm talking Vectran, which has a much higher cut resistence and a somewhat higher abrasion resistance. And it only needs to be "loose" around it, not super tight, and being pushed "down" towards the anchor, it will be at the slimmest (but still big enough) when the line is completely taught (as in no stretch left whatsoever).
I will look into the Dacron sleeves. I don't think I'm ready for a through-and-through Dyneema rope. Hell, just making something grip it at the snubber end will be problematic.
As for plastic making poor abrasion sleeves, I can only say that leather or, indeed, kevlar makes for great abrasion sleeves in general. You need to look no further than motorcycle clothing to see the evidence for that.
I will definately look into every sleeve I can think of, but I think Pdq had it right when he suggested I should look to the multihull crowd for experiences in this regard. I mean, if those guys can make something work, with all that windage, surely a very small 43' (yes, it truly is a fin keeled dinghy, lol) would be able to make use of their experiences.
Re: Vectran sleeve for anchor rode?
It's all about the ability to dissipate heat that makes certain chafe gear perform better than others. There was a Practical $ailor article I recently read that evaluated chafe guards including several home built methods. I don't think Kevlar may be a good choice, while it has certain benefits in motorcycle clothing it isn't designed to go sliding down the road for hours after hours, day after day. I use Kevlar slings in my industry and they are very susceptible to failure if pinched or exposed to a hard edge.
I think I would at least have some chain to help keep my anchor set.
Another point about chafe gear is that it can hide degraded conditions that may result in premature failure of your ground tackle.
I sure would like to hear your opinion of raisng an anchor by hand without a bow roller after you have done it, anyway it's your boat and your back.
PS I understand you are thinking outside the box but I am trying real hard to be civil in this forum, after all it's not advrider. You come across as a person thats a little rude and already knows it all. If you already have the answers why are you asking questions in this forum?
Fair winds and following seas.

Bed Bugs and Ticks are Back in NYC this July; BedBugsBeware.net Tips on Extermination
This July, pest control services have reported several cases of bedbug and tick attacks in several homes in New York City. Researchers have been wondering why there is also a tick outbreak in this month since it is an uncommon household pest in NYC.
In regards to the threatening issue with the bed bugs, BedBugsBeware.net comes to the rescue. The site shares how to get protected against bed bugs and other pests. There are also extermination techniques explained on the site.
Read more about Bed Bugs and Ticks in New York:
"The COO of Assured Environments Barry Beck said that they have handled 330 bedbug service calls for this July alone. But, what is more astounding is the outbreak of ticks in New York City households. There are several species of ticks that were found."
"Both ticks and bedbugs have much in common. They feed on blood and molt in different stages. They need blood to lay eggs. And, they move from one host to the other without flying."
"Entomologists have pointed out that weather has contributed to the outbreak of these pests this month. And, they are providing measures in letting people know how to prevent having ticks in their homes. However, they've also said that there are no vaccines for humans yet against ticks."
Read more about Pest Infestation in New York this July:
"But the recent outbreak of ticks in New York and surge in tick-related calls within the past two weeks has surpassed the levels of the past 25 years and have left many in the industry and the area concerned."
"In my 30-plus years in this industry I have never seen anything like this. We just received 4 independent calls regarding ticks yesterday alone," says Beck. Already this year, Assured Environments has provided service for 8-times as many tick-related calls than in previous years.
"Dogs, cats, cows, chickens and rodents, even birds, are possible hosts for ticks and likely a great transportation resource for these arthropods. "The weather is also a contributing factor," explains Dr. Frishman."
"The best information we can provide to the public at this time are proactive measures people can take to reduce their risk of ticks," says Beck. "There are no protective vaccines for humans for diseases spread by ticks, so avoiding tick bites is the best strategy"
Read more about Tick and Bed Bugs This July at: http://www.bedbugsbeware.net/
Ticks and bedbugs are very annoying household pests. They thrive on blood to multiply. But since there is no vaccine for tick prevention for humans yet, it is best to stay away from these pests.
Using of appropriate clothing materials when there is any suspicion of these pests can be very helpful. Recommended clothing are: long sleeves, closed toed shoes, pants, socks and gloves. Maintaining the lawn can also be very beneficial in avoiding these pests.

SLC 4 "The Comeback Kid" Guest blog by: Dale Hammond
This following describes how a California launch facility and a pair of accidents there spoke less about failure and more about the resilience and perseverance of human efforts in orbital space and beyond. Accidental failure occurred not once but twice in the same place within a span of just eight months. But rather than pointing to defeat, the recovery of that facility and the people who worked there led to new and innovative solutions: booster reusability by SLC 4's current occupant SpaceX and subsequent cost reduction in delivery of payloads to orbit, which is considered paramount to the colonization of Mars.

"Yes, we're going to be performing at the Majestic Theater on Tuesday, February tenth." Michael Novak dances with the Paul Taylor Dance Company. He started dancing at about ten. I asked how he discovered dance. "It was basically because I had tried a lot of other sports and I wasn't very good at them." I had to ask "Was it love at first dance?" He laughed and said "Yeah, actually, there was something about it very liberating for me." Blind Boys Of Alabama Set To Move You At The Tobin Center By Jack Morgan • Dec 8, 2014 Courtesy Blind Boys of Alabama A soulful music group is coming to the Tobin Center next week. Turns out, they've been touring quite a while. "The group went on the road in 1944. June 10, 1944." That's a long time! "Yeah, it's been about 70 years." The band is Blind Boys of Alabama, a five-time Grammy Award-winning group. Eric "Ricky" McKinnie plays the drums, and has been singing with them for many a decade, and celebrated four Grammy Awards along the way with them. "I've been working with the Blind Boys for about 40 years." They mix up gospel and soulful pop music. All Male Ballet Troupe Big On Talent, And Laughs By Jack Morgan • Nov 4, 2014 It's a troupe unlike any that San Antonians have seen. How is Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo not like your regular ballet company? "Well, the Ballet Trockadero is a male company. We're all male." Carlos Hopuy dances with them. "So we dance en pointe shoes. And we do comedy ballet." I had to ask--"Comedy and ballet, that's a really odd combination, right?" "Yeah! It's really hard for us to make it, like, seem easy. But at the same time, it's really fun to do it." Hollywood Screenwriter Spreading Insider Knowledge During San Antonio Visit By Jack Morgan • Jul 10, 2014 Topper Lilien South Texas writers take note: A good one is coming to share his secrets. You've seen some of Carroll Cartwright's work in "Jumanji," "Pearl Harbor" and "What Maisie Knew," but now you get the chance to meet him. Cartwright is a screenwriter and he's in San Antonio for a two-day event put together by Arts San Antonio, Gemini Ink and the McNay Art Museum. First is the event put on by Gemini Ink.

Precise Home Inspections Brad C False Report, Unprofessional, Livermore California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
We have a large custom home in Livermore that we put up for sale last year and hired Brad to "pre-inspect" our home. This way when listing we would present his report to any potential buyers. The inspection was professional however there were a number of errors made. For instance, the day he arrived we were having the windows cleaned. The screens were down in each room being washed. He stated on his report that the house was missing screens. He also stated that some of the lights did not work in the garage (they're on a seperate switch that he didn't check).
However worst of all he claimed he smelled a gas leak under the house. We immediately called PG&E out. They took their sensors under the house, into everyroom, around the house, by every gas using appilance and put a special meter on the incoming lines to monitor gas flow. PG&E gave us a clean bill of health "no gas leak".
Last year we did not get an acceptable offer so relisted the house this year to try again.
We had an offer the next day and the buyer contracted Brad at Eagle Eye to perform a new inspection for the new buyers.
Brad came out and completed his inspection. However, when we got his new report we were surprised to see the same veribage from his report the previous year. Same thing about screens, lights, and the non-existant gas smell.
Mind you there was no window cleaning, all screens were on every window, all lights were working and no gas leak.
When confront Brad admitted he used the previous years report and hastily submitted an amendment. By then the damage had been done and we spent weeks and considerable drama with the new buyers to correct the misinformation.
All Brad does an ok job if focused but this should never have happened and we never recieved an apology.
Go with some one else if you get the chance.
This gross error almost cost the sale of the house.

India's much-publicized auction of 2G spectrum got off to an inauspicious start earlier this week, with bidders showing little interest in some of the frequencies up for sale.
A unnamed government official quoted by Reuters said there were no bidders in some 'circles', or regions of the country, while other media reports claimed that spectrum in the relatively affluent Delhi and Mumbai circles had attracted no offers during the first two rounds of bidding.
Bharti Airtel (New Delhi, India), Vodafone (Newbury, UK), Idea Cellular (Mumbai, India), Videocon (Gurgaon, India) and Telenor (Oslo, Norway) have applied to participate in the auction of second-hand airwaves.
The frequencies were originally sold during an auction of 2008, but India's Supreme Court cancelled the licenses earlier this year, citing corruption in their allocation.
According to authorities, spectrum was given away for just a fraction of its real value.
Both Idea Cellular and Telenor were stripped of licenses as a result of the Supreme Court's decision. Idea Cellular hopes to reclaim seven licenses without which it cannot provide services across the entire country, while Telenor will not be allowed to continue operating in India unless it wins back something.
Nevertheless, several operators that were penalized, including Russia's Sistema, have decided to write off their Indian investments and avoid the new auction entirely.
What's more, spectrum based on the CDMA standard, which India's regulator had looked to sell at the end of the auction process, has attracted no interest since Tata Teleservices and Videocon announced they would not bid for the airwaves last week.
India's government has set a starting price for the spectrum of 140 billion rupees ($2.6 billion) for 5MHz of frequencies in all 22 circles, but that is more than seven times the amount that operators paid in 2008.
In the meantime, India's mobile-phone market has lost much of its shine. With little room for growth in wealthier communities, operators are competing for business in the poorest parts of the country and prices have fallen dramatically.
Operators paid more than $12 billion in 2010 for licences to provide 3G services, but those have met with a lukewarm response.
Last week, Bharti Airtel published third-quarter earnings that proved how tough conditions have become, with profits down 30% on last year's figures.

Let me first inform that My Passport 1 TB hasn't been to any physical altercation (no physical accidents) and usb cable works fine with other my passport HDD.
My passport used to work fine on my dell xps 14z laptop. one day used it on my friend laptop which has two os installed(win 7 & win 8).At first, unlocker startup prompted and I used my password and worked just fine for few minutes. but after some rtime, copying files didn't progressed.
then I ejectecd usb cable and re-connected which showed usb device connected but didn't prompt unlocker from virtual cd.
when I manually tried to open virtual cd for ulocking my passport, it said "Application Not Found" .when I tried to open cd's files , it said "Opertion failed because of I/O error".
When I tried to use in my laptop and another desktop same problem occurred.
then as i opened disk management startup, it said "You need to initialize this disk before logic can access" with MBR and GUID option .Clicking MBR (for 1tb), it said "Request can't be performed because of I/O error".
I can't even format or upgrade firmware (shows current firmware but fails to upgrade). Data Lifeguard Diagnostic shows disk has 0MB.
Hello Lochan, as a troubleshooting step, try connecting the Passport to the back of the PC, avoid using any USB extension cables or USB hubs. If the problem continues, it would appear that the Passport is faulty and needs to be replaced. Check the link below for more information.

This was long overdue. World, meet the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After keeping them in hiding for most of the season, the NBA has taken the shackles of anonymity off the Oklahoma City Thunder and finally embraced what's been the league's best story of the year. It shouldn't have taken this long, but because of a grossly inept national TV schedule, casual NBA fans (read: those who didn't take the plunge on the NBA League Pass) have had just one opportunity all season long to catch the Thunder… and that was a mid-week game in mid-December against the middling Dallas Mavericks. I'm guessing few made a point to tune in.
(I've already mini-ranted about this once, and it's kind of besides the point here, but they really need to get some forward-thinkers on the scheduling committee next year. Yes, record-wise the Thunder weren't that great last season, but everybody knew they'd be better this year, right? Maybe not 27 games better, but better. And it's not like the team was lacking in young starpower. Limiting the nationally televised games to a select few teams doesn't do the league any good. Obviously, LeBron and Dwight and Kobe sell, and they deserve their fair share of exposure. But do we really need to see the Cavaliers, Lakers, and Magic 25 times on national TV? Or the Spurs 20 times? No, no we don't. )
That the Thunder drew the Los Angeles Lakers in Round 1 is both a good thing and a bad thing. Bad in that they have little to no chance of beating this (flawed) Lakers team in a seven-game series, but good in that they're facing a primetime opponent, one of the league's all-time most-decorated franchises, and they're going to have a lot of people watching for the first time by default. And learning about them. And, hopefully, falling in love with them and becoming fans of them. They deserve it. They're the Portland Trail Blazers of a few years ago, but way better and with a lot more potential.
It's amazing what the Thunder has accomplished this season, collectively and individually. After finishing 23-59 last year, they improved faster than anticipated in posting a 50-32 record in the highly competitive Western Conference. They did it under the direction of a general manager, Sam Presti, who's just 33 years old, and they did it with a team that's the youngest in the league. They did it by leading the NBA in blocked shots despite being undersized. They did it on the backs of the league's top-scoring trio of Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, and Russell Westbrook, who combined to average just over 61 points a night. They did it with depth, they did it with hustle, they did it with hard work, they did it with excellent coaching from Scott Brooks, my pick for Coach of the Year.
And, yes, they did it with Kevin Durant, the NBA's youngest-ever scoring champ. He began the season absorbing valid, if not a bit bull-headed questions from some NBA bloggers about his defense and ability to lead, and it's safe to say that he answered the call and then some. How can you not root for this kid? At 21 years old, Durant already possesses one of the most intriguing skill-sets of any player in the league, and he remains one its most humble, soft-spoken megastars. Fantastic season, LeBron, but Durant is my MVP.
The stats he put up in his third season are silly. He scored 25+ points in 73 of 82 regular-season games, including a streak of 29 straight games at that mark. He led the league in free throws made at 9.2 per–for comparison, LeBron was second at 7.8–and finished sixth overall in FT% at 90%, his career best by 4 percentage points. Rebounds (7.6), assists (2.8), steals (1.4), blocks (1), and three-pointers (1.6) were all career bests too, along with those 30.1 points a night. He's everything that's great about the professional game of basketball and has earned every accolade that's been spoken or written about him. It helps that his "supporting cast" are consummate pros with top-tier talent, too.
As we saw Sunday afternoon in Game 1, Russell Westbrook can get to the hole at will and is well on his way to perennial All-Star consideration. He's a nightly triple-double threat, and like Durant, he's only 21 years old and still improving. Starting PF Jeff Green, like Durant now in his third season, is a solid 16 and 6 guy who looks more and more like the New Orleans Hornets' David West. And though I'm not going to run down the rest of the Thunder's youthful core (read up on them here) remember the names of rookies James Harden and Serge Ibaka; longtime ETB readers know how we feel about Thabo Sefolosha, the team's starting shooting guard.
It'll be interesting to see how far the Thunder extends this series against the Lakers, but in the end, it matters not. They got here, they're getting their first taste of the postseason, they're going to learn from it, they're going to be better and even more loaded next season. The Thunder currently have 3 of the first 32 picks in the upcoming draft (#21, #26, and #32 overall), which they can spend on more young talent or, perhaps more likely, use for trade bait to land an established player or two. And in the much-anticipated Summer of 2010 NBA free agency, they have the sufficient cap space to bid on some of the premier free agents if they're so inclined to.
The Lakers will beat the Thunder in this seven-game series; they might even do it handily and with relative ease. But they should be concerned, and they should be looking over their shoulder. So should the Mavericks, Suns, Jazz, and Nuggets. The Thunder are coming, and they're coming strong. The secret is finally out.

text: The first Olympic standard ice rink in Georgia was opened in Batumi by the president Mikhail Sakashivili on Tuesday, August 23rd. Elene Gedevanshivili and other skaters were said to have performed. It's named after Elene . The president and his son Nikols and other members of the public got on the ice after the opening ceremony, which took 45 minutes. The Republican party had been opposed to the construction of the rink, budgeted at 1.5 million Lari, but it eventually was passed and allocated this sum. However, there was spent 2.5 million Lari (about 1.5 million dollars). Free lessons will be available for children aged four to eleven years old, starting with the beginning of the school year. The photo showed an arena that has adequate seating for JGP or GP events. Also planning to build a 30,000 spectator arena in Batumi that Sakashivili says will be the best and biggest in the Caucasus. The president is hopeful the ice rink will encourage tourism to Black Sea city of Batumi, which already has dolphin arena, kickin musical fountains (I'm so serious on this, it's really quite impressive actually), boardwalks, renovated city center, unreal botanical garden, etc., etc. And the best hachapuri The news is in Russian language www.georgiatimes.info BTW, Does this mean Elene didn't skate at Moran? Any reports on Moran?

- Who We Are
- Ways To Give
- Get Involved
- Get Help
- Our Programs
- Agency Zone
Hunger 101 is our gateway programming for youth. There are three age-appropriate levels available for download below. This one-hour, experiential activity walks participants through what hunger is, who is hungry in the Southern Tier, what causes hunger, and what we can do about hunger. Programming for younger children focuses on the importance of sharing and the concept of community.
These experiential, hands-on lessons are the foundation of our Hunger Education program and are a great addition to service activities, food drives or for groups that want to learn about the reality of hunger in the Southern Tier. Community members are welcome to download our Hunger 101 curriculum and also check out Hunger 101 kits from:
Hunger 101 for Young Children
Our Hunger 101 workshop with pre-K through 2nd grade students is entitled "The Importance of Sharing." This involves a reading of the classic story "Stone Soup" and a discussion about sharing.
Hunger 101 for Elementary Students
Our Hunger 101 workshop for 3rd-5th graders involves the creation of a Hunger Web. Students will discuss what the terms hunger and poverty and then brainstorm some root causes. They then build a "web" that recognizes the linkages between different issues people are facing and come to understand the complexity of the issue.
Hunger 101 for Middle and High School Students
Our Hunger 101 workshop for students grades 7 and up is called "The Reality of Hunger in the Southern Tier." This workshop begins with a discussion of the terms hunger and poverty, and then moves into a simulation where students role-play members of a food-insecure community. Participants are then challenged to secure enough food for their families utilizing community resources.
How can I schedule a Hunger 101 workshop?
If you are interested in having your student group participate in a Hunger 101 workshop, please contact the Community Engagement Coordinator to discuss opportunities. Alternatively, community facilitators are encouraged to download the lesson guides below to use with their youth group and also check out Hunger 101 kits.
We are excited to have these lesson guides available for use by people across the Southern Tier and beyond. However, it is essential that we track how many youth are involved in Hunger Scholars Programming and how the curriculum guide is being used. This tracking, along with your feedback, will help us improve the guide, be more strategic in our outreach efforts and seek funding opportunities that will enable us to continue this work.
In each lesson guide, you will find a programming and documentation form. Please fill this out and return it to the Community Engagement Coordinator once you have completed your programming. Food Bank of the Southern Tier staff will be in touch with you if you complete the online form in order to download these lesson guides.
What Students Are Saying
"The experience was very informative and made me realize that you can't tell what people are going through just by looking at them from the outside. Before this workshop, I never understood how difficult it can be to feed a family." - Nursing Assistance student
"It really made me realize how stressful some people can be feeling everyday, and it'd be so hard." - High School student
"It's hard and frustrating to be in a position like this." - High School student
"It [Hunger 101] modeled life because people do really struggle to survive, and it's real, not a game." - High School student
Hunger 101 and Visiting the Food Bank
The Food Bank is proud to offer half-day service-learning opportunities at our main location in Elmira. These experiential sessions include a tour of our warehouse and facility, an age-appropriate Hunger 101 workshop, and a shift volunteering in our production room. We find that these service-learning sessions are very impactful and educational for youth. Families are also encouraged to participate.

outdoor television??
My current project is the remodeling of our "3 season" porch. I would like to put a TV out there, and I was wondering if it would be affected by the cold.
Would I need to bring it inside in the winter? It won't be exposed to rain or snow, but it does get pretty cold here (Nebraska) in the winter months, and I don't have any way (or desire) to try and heat this room.
Any input would be appreciated.
I am a tech at a TV repair shop, and over the years, we have seen a lot of sets come in for repair that are left in a screened in room. Down here in Florida, not much of a problem with cold weather, but down here the moisture will cause all the metal inside to rust. Also, it seems that a common problem with these are bad speakers. Its not good to leave them out in an area that will be getting damp. I would suggest to put an old set out there, so if it only lasts a few years, no big loss.
Since I have only lived here is Florida, I have no idea what the really cold weather will do.
Exactly what I was wondering. As cold as our winters get up here, humidity in the summer is just as bad (not quite as bad as Florida though) and I figured being outside, without any climate control, dust protection etc. would have some kind of effect on it.
I do have an old TV that still works pretty good-I think I'll stick that out there for the summer and see how it goes.
Thanks for the info bofus-I do appreciate it.
You're welcome.
BTW, the dust really doesn't seem to be as much of a problem as most people think. The dampness and humidity are the killers....sometimes.
If you want that tv out there so you can watch the Huskers and still enjoy our beautiful Nebraska fall days then get rid of that old TV and buy a 37" LCD HDTV. The games look awesome in High def and the 37" is plenty big for a porch but not that heavy to move. Put one mount outside and one inside so if you can watch the bowl game inside when it's cold.
Warning: With this setup make sure everyone knows BYOB otherwise you'll go broke.
Your readin' my mind jogr-and hey, that inside/outside mount idea is pure (evil?) genius !!
Sunbrite TV is designed for outdoor application. There area couple others as well.
Thank you KT-I will look into those.
Being in the TV repair business, I would be careful as to what you buy. Are there any service centers around that can work on these? Can parts be obtained? I have been in this business for over 30 years, and I have never seen one of these, being used, or in for repair. I would stay away from cheap Chinese junk.
Yes there is, but as I'm sure you probably know by now, they aren't easy to find. I know that it might be impossible to NOT buy things from china, but what ever you buy, first, make sure there is a factory authorized servicecenter located near you for the brand you are buying. Second, if you buy a flat-panel (Plasma or LCD) TV, or an HD TV, be sure and buy an extended warranty that has replacement coverage. This way, if the parts can NOT be obtained, then they give you another TV. Now if you are buying the bottom of the line set, then go ahead and use it until it breaks, remembering that it might not be repairable, so another set might need to be in the picture.
I had a customer buy an Olivia 32" HD LCD set, and it went out in 8 months. The set came with a full 1 year warranty. He called the factory, and they informed him that the repair would be at N/C, but HE would have to pay the shipping to the factory and back, which they quoted him a price somewhere between $300 and $400 dollars. He had only paid about $550 for the set. He brought it to our shop, and the bad board was over $350, not including the labor. Needless to say, he didn't get it repaired. It is still sitting at the shop waiting for him to pick it up unrepaired.
The reason I am saying this, is because I hate to see ANYONE get ripped off. If the TV was in warranty, the customer should not have to pay a penny for another set, or on shipping for the repair. I see this happen at least 1-2 times a week. Just do a little homework, and make sure there is a factory authorized service center located in your area.
It amazes me that so many people think ALL TV's are made in China, when in fact the largest amount are not.
Name brands such as LG, Toshiba, JVC, Mitsubishi, Sony, NEC, Panasonic, etc, etc, are not.
Off brands such as Vizio, Westinghouse, Insignia, Element, etc, etc, and other "CHEAP' no name brands mostly are.
And then a worse offense.
Coming on a forum and shilling for your company. Especially so with a product that is "water resistant" as opposed to "waterproof".
That's not bad enough, this same person has the audacity to recommend extended warranties, when everyone in the industry knows they are most generally a device for raising profit margins and generally serve no other purpose.
Everyone I know, in the industry, will tell you that "Shilling" is the desperate act of a person connected to a company, that rather than pay for the right to advertise his/her products, will do exactly as you have done.
I. E. Make a sad attempt to sell your product/s on a public forum. Most of which will remove the posts (as yours should be).
Want to be a paid vendor here on the DIY website so you're doing honest advertising? Do so. Otherwise, you shouldn't be posting anything relating to the product.
Understand now?
It's not the opinions that I find offensive. It's that the opinions are couched in the shilling of your product.
Hard to understand what you're saying/meaning in this sentence.
And here's something for those that want a case. From a company that is NOT out here on public forums hawking there wares....
A professional level product I might add.
Have a good day....
On the note of US-based tv production companies.
Some places have a show-room where you can buy - without the cost of the middle man - their products. . . I have a Timex company nearby and we go to their outlet store for their watch products al lthe time - by far much cheaper and they offer decent warrenties.
I'm certain that tv companies do the same as well - it's just a matter of searching and finding them.
Sorry that you are mistaken! You can NOT go by the brand name of a set today to determine where the set was manufactured. I have been in the TV repair business going on 35 years, and yes, I DO know what I am talking about. For example, I worked on a large Sony LCD set today, and looking on the back, where the model and ser.#'s are, it plainly said, "MADE IN CHINA". You have to look at the back of the set, NOT the brand name. Yes, there are some sets that are made here in the states, but the overwhelming majority of them are made over seas. This is not an opinion, but a fact! Yes, there are also those made in Mexico. My opinion would be, anything made in China should be bypassed.
There are many companies that can't compete with the cheap Chinese labor force, so these companies (Sony being one of them) has some of their sets made in China. There are many other companies that do the same, but have the Chinese company put "their" name on it, so it will be considered a better set.
Let's see, Polaroid...Chinese, Kodak...Chinese, RCA...Chinese, Insignia...Chinese, Scott...Chinese, Akai...Chinese (most, not all), ILO...Chinese, Sony...Chinese (some of them), Maxent...Chinese, and I could go on and on. ALWAYS check the label on the back of the sets to be sure where they are made.

This article, entitled "Autism and Stimming," comes from Cathy B. at bountifulplate.
How many of you out there have ever heard of the word, stim? I never had, until Dominic was diagnosed with Autism.
Stimming is another word for self-stimulating behavior. Two examples of that type of behavior are head banging and spinning around in circles. Dominic did some head banging when he was a lot younger, but thankfully, it didn't last too long.
If you sometimes see a little girl or boy who has Autism wearing a helmet, they most likely are a head banger. Believe me, it's for their own protection.
Dominic also likes to turn around in circles and telling him he'll get dizzy is useless. He rarely does that now.
There is also verbal stimming which is also known as scripting. That is the repetition of sentences or phrases. It can be a sentence or phrase heard from a teacher, parent, sibling, friend or possibly even the television or a movie. It could have been something heard yesterday or five years ago. This is definitely the most frequent stimming behavior we observe in Dominic. He will resort to this particular behavior when he is overstimulated or understimulated.
An awesome DVD that my little sister recommended to me at least five years ago is called Baby Babble. I would highly recommend it, even if your child doesn't have speech delays or special needs. Here is the link to the website: http://www.talkingchild.com/index.aspx.
Dominic watched the Baby Babble DVD so much when he was younger, that he memorized several parts of it. What's good about his scripting now, is that when I ask him what show or movie he is talking about, he can tell me. The other day, he was saying something like, "speech and language development, your child should begin to babble." When I asked where he had heard that phrase, he said, "Baby Babble!" For the past week, he has been saying, "another one, I told your little friend I wouldn't pay for that!" I recognize that phrase as coming from an episode of Spongebob.
Dominic's last day of elementary school was great, but it certainly wasn't his usual routine. After waiting through a long assembly to receive his certificate, he then hopped onto my lap.
We next went down to his classroom and then told him that he would ride the bus home. Since it was the last day of school, he had a half-day, so he was home about four or so hours earlier than normal. After he had some lunch, he didn't know quite what do with himself. For most of the afternoon and into the early evening, he resorted back to his scripting. It's okay for a while, but if Dominic starts traveling a little too far down that road we say, "stop the movie!" That usually snaps him out of it. It's a phrase that his former social worker, Miss Celeste, told us to use many years ago. It still works too!! We really miss her, she was awesome!! I still keep in touch with her and plan to for a very long time - we love her! Once in a great while, he will be so into his movie that he will act like he can't hear us and he will go all the way to the end of his script before he will acknowledge us. Dominic does scripting on and off throughout the day and we are so used to it, that we barely notice it anymore. We have come to accept that it is just what makes Dominic who he is - an integral part of our family!!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi all,
wonder if any of you could help me.
Am currently 8Kg and am about 5ft9/10, I run 3 times a week - average of about 6 miles. I also go to a circuit (very intense) class on a wednesday. And most weeks play football one day a week. I therefore consider myself quite health, also this weight has not changed for the last few years.
However, whenever I do some sort of BIO index am overweight, I also have a bit of a belly on me. So... I've been trying to diet a little bit by following this kind of diet:
Mondays - Friday
I reckon for dinner we have about 600-700 calories.
Usualy this is followed by another cup of tea and maybe a couple of biscuits.
I try and drink 5-6 glasses of water (usualy mixed with squash) a day.
At weekends:
Some weekends also a few drinks only on a saturday though.
Now am not sure where am going wrong, I know it sounds like am just another typical guy who is making it up as am going along. But this is honestly how my week looks and I could really do with some help.
Thanks all for taking your time to look at this and for all respones.
Some comments / questions from me:
- so you are a non drinker. Thats good - lots of hidden calories there
- other than the biscuits you don't have a sweet tooth. No desserts, sweets, chocolate. Thats good - I admire yourdetermination
- you are not using sports drinks inappropriately during exercise. You know what is in the various 'recovery' foods / drinks
- you have your portion sizes well under control? You know for example what a single portion of rice or pasta looks like
- you're going for heathy options e.g. skimmed milk, low fat spreads etc?
- you're not eating highly processed foods, and foods labelled low fat that are full of sugar
- you have a good grasp on your typical calorie intake e.g. using something like myfitnesspal on a sample of days
It seems given the above that this is a mystery
Well.. so you've caught me out there.
It is indeed a mystery - my thoughts were maybe to have a slightly dfferent diet written out? am really not sure what could be causing it? too much sugar in all meals?
Thanks, for your response btw.. very much appreciated.
Any ideas?
Have you tried writing down what you eat? How much is "some toast" and "boiled egg" etc? Maybe your portion sizes are bigger than you think?
hi Crazy, your just 8kg?
Running can help any weight loss but shouldn't be the reason for running imho. 1 hour of running for me is around 500 calories (a slim guy) so to lose 1lb of weight from just running I'd need to run for 7 hours!
Also Ran mentioned myfitnesspal.com, I've logged in there for 165 days now and since losing 17lbs fat and gaining 5lbs of LBM in February my weight has basically stayed the same. Providing calories out is greater than calories in you'll lose weight.
I've been weighing my food for so long I can now grab 25g of Almonds without needing the scales
ha ha wow!
Cinders - Yes i use myfitnesspal.. I think your both right... I think I need to start doing that for a few months!
The trouble is that its hard work to remember everything throughout the day and then log it. Also I run about 3 hours a week so shold be losing 1/2 a pound - but i guess that doesnt just happen.
I think I would quite like a diet plan of someone if anyone has one?
Cheers for your responses guys.
I just try to stick with the basics of portion size, non processed food etc rather than something too prescriptive.
Where I tend to go wrong, its usually down to portions creeping up, or a bit of boredom eating, or the 'halo' effect of having been for a long run. When things start to creep up, getting back into myfitnesspal for a week or two usually sorts me out.
Andi - I'm impressed you have a streak of 165 days - thats real determination
yeah the halo is dangerous... its easy to think... ah ive been for a run that justfiys it!...
Yeah Also- I think I will get back on that.
Although please someone .. diet plan? lol
Txs Also ran, am lucky enough to work from home so log as I eat and the best bit is running calories burnt = Beer tokens
Crazy, I never really had a 'diet' plan, was just logging what I ate and oft struggled to eat all the calories I needed though managed the off 3500-4000 cal day. Most of my food is cooked from fresh and use my slow cooker a lot so created a recipe over at MFP and was freezing 8-10 portions on each cook.
ha ha - am not massive on beer. but food tokens are equaly as good lol
thats a brilliant idea.. freezing portions.. generaly what sort of food?
I have a few Bolognese recipes, a cool Chicken Leek and Mustard one (low fat version using Fillets as well) and stews etc, a bit of a boring cook. I'm also a big Smoothie drinker, normally for breakfast and they often top 1,000 calories for a 2 pint Shake, sets me up for the day
You should perhaps try upping your mileage if your doing three six mile runs do two shorter ones (six miles ) and do one longer one say half marathon+ at a slower pace for purely weight loss. Then slowly increase the mileage every week. Go off road , run up and down hills run in fields on tracks on trails. Increase your miles , start throwing some interval training in. Eat wholemeal food, Pasta , rice , bread. Increase your protein intake. Chicken , eggs , fish , nuts. plenty off fruit . If you do this your weight will slowly come off I guarantee you. Oh and the days you are not running try and get down the gym, cross train , swim , core work , skipping all this will help. Don't go mad on energy gels and things just a few on longer runs ( I personally don't use them ) If you follow this and are dedicated you will not even have to worry about what you eat. Don't calorie count and stay off the scales just do a little more and you will get their.
I'm really not a fan of exercise / running more as the reason for running or as the primary method for losing weight. In peak mararathon training weeks when I was doing 70-80 miles pw, plus weights, and rowing. I was likely to put weight on. I'm very much in the camp that says you need an honest appraisal of what you eat.
About 3 years ago I was going nowhere and had put on several stone over the years. I took a fairly big step for me, and went on the Harcombe Diet (Stop Counting Calories Start losing weight). I lost about 3 1/2 stone on that and plateued. The only exercise associated with this was walking. I still follow that diet in principle, but more importantly it gave a better insight into the fattening hormone insuline, and how to keep in control
Sounds to me like you need to do a proper calorie counting diary for a few days with *everything* recorded and the exact amounts (even resort to weighing if you don't know) and protein/carb/fat %s. Based on what you said you should be running at a deficit even without the running! I went through something similar a couple of years ago - swore blind I was on about 1900-2000 calories (BMR of 2400ish) so I should have been losing weight... I used Livestrong's Myplate for a week and lo and behold I was actually having about 2600 a day.. marginal gains as the GB cycling team like to say - it's often the "little" things like portion size of "healthy" stuff. Once I knew, it was easy to sort out - and for me it was portion size - I'm still amazed at how little 1 normal portion actually is! I also realised that calorie burn from exercise is usually less than you imagine.
Ultimately it is all physics - if energy in less than energy out you *must* lose weight.
You perhaps need a bit more variety in your meals and to know about portion size, then weigh and measure stuff like cereal, milk, bread, potatoes, pasta etc.
Also, there will be hidden sugars and stuff in the cereal and muesli, you could try making your own granola, mix up the fruits and nuts to your own liking, cut down the sugar. If you find a recipe that includes syrup get some Agave syrup, it's low GI and very nice (made by Groovy Foods, available in the supermarket, it'll be with the sugar substitutes or the gluten free stuff).
I'd really recommend getting My Fitness Pal or Livestrong, you can also get either as an app if you've got a smart phone, which helps with logging during the day.
Get a refillable oil-spray for using olive oil for cooking. Or else measure it by the tablespoon.
But first of all understand what you actually eat in calories and then you can start to work out what your biggest calorie spend is and how to make any necessary changes.
I'd also really recommend a book called Appetite for Destruction by Isa Chandra Moskowitz - it's vegan and low-fat which sounds like hell with all the fun removed! But actually it's mostly really delicious and calorie-counted and healthy and full of vegetables, grains and pulses. Her chilli recipes are out of this world.
Another thing to find out is what fills you best. I LOVE carbs with a passion, but I have found that protein actually fills me up better and for longer. If I have an egg for breakfast I'm good for hours, if I have porridge I'm hungry within 2 hours.
Your breakfast is around 300-320 calories, assuming the yogurt is a Muller Light. You could have an egg or some bacon and a slice of wholemeal toast for the same, add a tomato for one of your 5-a-day. But the protein might work better for you.

Dental Anxiety and Fear: Relationship with Oral Health Behavior in a Turkish Population
Bulem Y�z�g�ll�, DDS, PhD/Ayse G�lsahi, DDS, PhD/�igdem �elik, DDS, PhD/Sule Bulut, DDS, PhD
The aim of this study was to assess fear and anxiety in dental patients. Five hundred
patients were evaluated using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale and the Dental Fear Scale,
along with a questionnaire. Oral health status was assessed using the Decayed, Missing,
and Filled Teeth (DMFT)/Decayed, Missing, and Filled Surfaces (DMFS) index. Statistic al
analysis was performed (P < .05). Sex significantly affected dental anxiety (P < .05),
and sex, marital status, having children, and time elapsed since last visit to clinician
affected dental fear (P < .05). DMFT/DMFS scores were not related to dental anxiety or
fear (P > .05). Female sex alone was a significant predictor of dental anxiety; female sex,
adulthood, marriage, having children, and time passed since last visit to a clinician are
significant predictors of fear. Int J Prosthodont 2014;27:50�53. doi: 10.11607/ijp.3708

HKS Carbon Ti exhaust rattleing
As the title states i'm having a clearance problem with my HKS carbon Ti Exhaust system. It's on my 05 WRX and seemed to be doing fine until I noticed a distinct rattling noise comming from the undercarriage about 2 weeks after installation. The exhaust is connected to the stock down pipe so the fitment isn't perfect. It seems as though it's tapping on both a heat shield and one of the links. I was also thinking it might be that the exhaust hangers are just really loose from all that pulling to get em in, which will cause it to move around real bad. I wanted to know if anyone could help me with any solutions to this minor problem. Thanx

You should look into some Kartboy hangers. Depending on where the rattle is coming from, this might help you out some.
My car is well, it's like 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag...

yeah, try the kartboy hangers first and see if that helps. but look under your car and figure where it's hitting for sure. cause kartboy also makes longer hangers too in case your exhuast need to be lowered.

A DEAL to revive a £300 million development in Edinburgh's Old Town has been scuppered, The Scotsman can reveal.
• The gap site in the Old Town is likely to lie empty for the foreseeable future. Picture: Ian Georgeson
Council leaders admitted last night that attempts to rescue the Caltongate scheme, which triggered an international inquiry into Edinburgh's world heritage status, had come to nothing following the collapse of talks with a new developer.
The local authority — which had agreed to sell various plots of land to help create a five-star hotel and conference centre, 200 new homes, a new culture quarter and a public square — confirmed it had withdrawn its assets from the development.
The council's surprise move has signalled the final death knell for plans to knock down two listed buildings to make way for the hotel and conference centre. The site is now expected to lie derelict for the foreseeable future. The amount of red tape involved in buying up the vast site, near Waverley Station, which was earmarked for the controversial project is understood to have put off the new developer, Allied London.
The firm emerged earlier this year as preferred bidder for the assets of the scheme, which floundered last year after developer Mountgrange went into administration.
Lloyds Banking Group, which was left 75m out of pocket after the Mountgrange collapse, had failed to attract interest from developers amid claims from property industry experts that the firm's old scheme was no longer commercially viable.
The council had been banking on raising about 2.5m by insisting that the previously agreed scheme was pursued by any developer, but that price was agreed at the height of the property market. It emerged in April that the European Commission was investigating claims that the council had broken the law with its sell-off deal.
Allied London later revealed that it wanted to make major changes to the Mountgrange scheme, with plans for a "commercial and government quarter" on the site.
Council officials are understood to have conceded defeat on any hope of the previous scheme being delivered, even though it is likely to take several years for a new developer to secure planning permission.
A spokesman for the council said it had become clear that "protracted" negotiations between the bank and potential developers "were unlikely to be successful" and said the authority would now be looking at other options for its land.
Its economic development leader Tom Buchanan said: "The council has worked for some time with the bank's administrator in order to assist it in realising the potential of the site, but it is now apparent that the proposed development will not go ahead.
"As a result, we feel it is in the council's best interest to draw a line under this matter and exercise our right to formally terminate the sale agreement."
A spokesman for Lloyds Banking Group said it was not prepared to comment on the current situation.
No-one at Allied London was available for comment.
One source at the City Chambers said: "We have done everything possible to try to rescue the Caltongate scheme, but the economic climate has been extremely challenging over the last 18 months.
"The decision to withdraw our assets means any new developer is free to strike a deal with the bank and come back to us with any proposals that include the land we own in the area."

Northern Italy Road Trip Part IAuthor: Jim and Donna C. (More Trip Reviews by Jim and Donna C.)
Date of Trip: October 2010
While I waited I got chased off the platforms that were set out for high tide. This caused the line to move. By the time Jim got back, we had lost our place in line…we just sort of blended into a part near the front.
The cathedral of St. Mark was beautiful! I kept looking at the ceiling, which had "paintings" all over it. I thought it had gold leaf galore, only to discover that it was all tiny mosaic. Fantastic! The floor was also mosaic marble.
Each section of the cathedral had a different design on the floor. We paid four Euros and entered an area of St. Mark's tomb. It really hit me hard that the apostles were real people just like you and me. Jim lit a candle for his father while we were there.
We stopped at the gift shop and picked up some post cards…we couldn't take pictures inside. A lot of people were taking pictures, even though there were signs everywhere that said we couldn't. I found that very disrespectful.
After visiting the cathedral we went back into the square and found a cafe where we had a cappuccino and listened to the orchestras play. Two cappuccini cost us 30 Euros, but it was worth it. Jim wanted to do this since his first visit to Venice for work a couple of years ago. After our rest we "played" with the pigeons.
We had some cookies that Donna was feeding to the pigeons. They would fly up, land on her arms and shoulders and eat out of her hands. Jim was having fun taking movies of this, as Donna would scatter the pigeons, only to have them come back for more.
Our next venture was to walk to the Rialto Bridge. Before we left, we did decide to go back to one of the artists and buy a painting that we liked. We always buy small things because they are easy to carry, only to regret not getting something larger when we get home.
This time we bought what we really wanted…a larger painting of Venice. It cost us 70 Euros, but we both love it. The guy put some cardboard around it with a handle. Looks like we will need to mail a package home when we get to Florida. Second day here and we already are loaded with souvenirs -- over four weeks left. We're so bad.
We stopped at several shops on the way to the Rialto Bridge, one being a Murano glass shop. Jim bought me a bracelet and a pendant. We got lost a couple of times, but finally made our way to the bridge. We took some pictures, checked out the shops that line the bridge and took some dusk photos of Venice from the bridge. Hope they turn out.
About 1830, just about dusk, we took a gondola ride. We went down part of the Grand Canal, took some smaller side canals and came back through part of the Grand Canal. We passed by the homes of Marco Polo and Casanova. These home are over 700 years old and are still being used today. It was a beautiful and romantic ride. After the gondola ride we had dinner on the Grand Canal.
Jim was looking forward to having a relaxing evening back at the hotel…until he realized that it was almost 2300 by the time we got back. Tomorrow we pick up our car for the driving part of our trip. We are going to spend an extra night here so we can take a day trip into Slovenia tomorrow.
Sunday October 10, 2010 -- Clear -- another Donna day
We woke up around 0700 and had breakfast at the hotel. We then got a taxi that took us to the Marco Polo Airport where we picked up our car. We both got our international driver's license for this trip, but it would have cost us another eight Euros a day for me to be able to drive. We opted for me not to drive.
Jim had all his documents, passport, driver's license and insurance certificate, so the guy behind the counter couldn't sell us anything else. We were early in picking up the car and were told, "This is the only one I have for you". It is a Peugeot, 508. Looks like a crossover, can seat five people, easily.
It will do nicely since the one we reserved was not the smallest, but next to it. Our luggage fits nicely in the back and can be covered. The back windows have screens so you don't see in easily as well... very nice.
We plugged the Parjama Castle in Slovenia into Lola and off we go. Slovenia is only a couple hours from Venice. After crossing the border, we were stopped by the border police. Apparently we need a Vignette (pass) in order to drive through the country. We were told that the pass was 15 Euros and could be purchased at the next service station. The fine for not buying the pass is 300 Euros. Nice incentive to buy one.
We stopped at the next service station, bought our pass and a couple of sandwiches for lunch. The sandwiches weren't very good, but they ate. The place was called the Hip Hop. We did buy some Nutella-to-Go (Nutella with bread sticks) that was good.
The next stop was the Parjama Castle. Cool castle. This place is built into the side of a cliff / mountain - very easy place to defend. This was a "Robber Barron's" castle. The owner was kind of like what we would know of Robin Hood. He stole stuff.

AWD system?
Has anyone seen any recent information on the ATS AWD system? Is it the Haldex 5? I tried the Cadillac online blog and the Dealer, with no success. It seems that they would say something about what system they are using. Audi, BMW and Mercedes all present some information on their websites but Cadillac seems to be keeping it a secret. I have ordered mine with it, but wonder exactly what I will be getting?
Re: AWD system?
BoatHarbour, if you don't mind sending me the last eight of your VIN, then I would be happy to check my resources for you. I sadly can't guarantee any definitive answers, but I am happy to consult my more technical sources on your behalf. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for further information.

Eating disorders are serious abnormalities or impairments in eating behaviour that are excessive and compulsive in nature. These range from severe overeating up to the point of extreme obesity to unhealthy reduction of food intake up to the point of starvation and emaciation. These eating disturbances are serious enough to be considered mental illnesses requiring intensive treatment because the client's psychological dependency on these eating patterns is so deeply entrenched. They pose critical health risks as well.
Control issues and need for approval are common with sufferers
Eating disorders are usually accompanied by control issues and feelings of extreme distress about body shape or weight. These psychological disorders are often aggravated by depression due to feelings of despair, failure, loss of control, or self-loathing. A person with an eating disorder is constantly worrying about how food intake affects his/her body shape and weight. Such an individual calculates his/her self-worth based on the numbers that appear on a weighing scale or a distorted perception of his/her body in the mirror. However, there is definitely more to an eating disorder than meets the eye.
One observation remains consistent: beneath the seeming vanity is an underlying tangle of emotional insecurities and a deep-seated need for the approval of others. Many eating disorders are believed to be behavioural patterns stemming from emotional struggles that need to be resolved in order for the person to develop an enduring healthy relationship with food.
The precise cause of eating disorders is not known but is believed to be a combination of biological, chemical, medical, psychological, and/or environmental factors.
Research shows that for some individuals there may be a genetic reason for the development of an eating disorder. Anorexia has been found to be eight times more common in individuals who have relatives with the disorder. Investigation done on twins revealed a tendency to share specific eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, obesity).
Hormones play a part in eating disorders
Hormonal abnormalities are common in eating disorders. These include chemical abnormalities in the thyroid, reproductive regions, and areas in the brain governing stress, well-being, and appetite. Although many of these chemical changes are a result of malnutrition and other aspects of eating disorders, they may also play a role in creating susceptibility to the disorders and in perpetuating them. In addition, there is evidence that links eating disorders to medical conditions such as ADHD.
Pursuing yet another angle, one study showed that foster girls were more likely to develop bulimia nervosa. This may possibly be related to their perception of conditional acceptance by non-biological family members. Social situations such as peer pressure, a culture of thinness, and idealised body types in media are believed to contribute greatly to the fixation on body weight and appearance. Conflicting or mixed messages are conveyed by media. On one hand, advertisers market weight-loss programs with an emphasis on the desirability of thinness; one the other hand, the media also floods the market with attractive advertisements for food, especially "junk food" with little or no nutritional value.
Depression has repeatedly been connected with eating disorders, although it has not been determined whether depression is the cause or the effect.
The Australian perspective on eating disorders
In Australia, eating disorders are on the rise. According to statistics compiled by the Eating Disorders Foundation of Victoria, 1 in 20 Australian women admitted to having suffered from an eating disorder while 1 in 4 individuals knew someone who had an eating disorder. Despite the prevalence of onset around adolescence and young adulthood, eating disorders can be found in people as young as seven and as old as 70 years.
Dr. Warren Ward of the Royal Brisbane Hospital observed that current television shows reflect the massive obsession with losing weight. However, Professor Phillipa Hay, head of psychiatry at James Cook University, noted that unlike in the case of drug or alcohol abuse, one cannot give up or abstain from eating as it is a major part of one's social, interpersonal, and family life. This makes treatment and recovery a daily challenge, normally lasting many months or years.
The major eating disorders are compulsive overeating, binge eating, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa.
