Everything in the appartment is wonderful, very well located just in the city centre, the decoration is awesome and the host was perfect.
The only thing I would like to say is that it is very small for four people because the living room is too small to use it as a room. It was not an important point for us because we just used it to sleep because we spent all day outside.
A great experience for me. Marta has been a great host and the apartment is fantastic. All new furbished and in excellent condition. thank you!

My son and I stayed on night in Marta's apartment in Lisbon. The apartment is located in a quiet (steep) street. There is no traffic noise bothering you to sleep. The apartment is really OK. One bedroom with a double bed and a sofa for one person in the living room. There is also a kitchen, but we did not use it.
The bathroom is OK. The apartment is clean and tidy; no problem with that.
The apartment is located approx. 7 minutes on foot from the metro (Marques de Pombal and Avenida).
Do not hesitate to book this apartment, it is OK.
This apartment is just so wonderful. We unfortunately only stayed for one night but should have stayed much longer. The key handover worked perfectly, we found the apartment in a very good condition. The bed is fantastic, we slept really well. The apartment has a really cozy and interesting furniture and is far away from typical Ikea Standard design. I LOVED the couch in the living room, super comfy !
The communication with Marta was perfect, she addressed me for the key handover and was really helpful with my questions.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
I really like the apartment: it is good located, very clean; the host is also super nice. I recommend it.
Very Nice experience
Nice appartement in Lissabon. City center is very close. Supermarket only one minute walk. We had a nice stay and the communication was good. Thanks for letting us stay in this appartement.
Modern, clean appartment. In an old small street with typical old houses. Only the bed is not good anymore, needs a recovery.

It was more of a struggle to secure our home than we had hoped, which leads to the breakdown of eating at McDonald's after purchasing some home supplies. It was greasy and it was gross. No regrets.

SEA ESCAPE, Lynne Griffin
Carrie's Conversation with Lynne Griffin, Author of SEA ESCAPE
Carrie: Without giving too much away, give us an idea about what SEA ESCAPE is about.
Lynne: SEA ESCAPE is a story inspired by my parents love letters; it's about the ties that bind mothers and daughters. Laura Martinez is wedged in the middle place, grappling with her busy life as a nurse, wife, and devoted mom to Henry and Claire, when her estranged mother, Helen, suffers a devastating stroke. In a desperate attempt to lure her mother into choosing life, Laura goes to Sea Escape, the pristine beach home that Helen took refuge in when her carefully crafted life unraveled years ago, after the death of her beloved husband. Believing the beauty and sway of her father's words have the power to heal, Laura reads the letters bedside to her mother–a woman who once spoke the language of fabric; of Peony Sky in Jade and Paradise Garden Sage–but who can't or won't speak to her now. As Laura delves deeper into her tangled family history, each letter revealing patchwork details of her parents' marriage, she finds a common thread. A secret, mother and daughter unknowingly share.
Carrie: What inspired you to write SEA ESCAPE?
Lynne: After my own mother passed away in 2000, I found love letters written to her by my father. As I read, I went so far as to imagine excerpts of my father's beautiful writing shining within a novel I might someday write. In those musings, SEA ESCAPE was born. The letters were then and are now a treasure. The love captured within, pure and sincere. Yet to my storyteller's heart, reading them then, I couldn't help but think–not enough conflict, no secrets, no dramatic reveal. Certainly I didn't want those things to come by way of my parents, but right then I started imagining a different story belong to a different daughter. That story is SEA ESCAPE.
Carrie: Is there an underlying theme of SEA ESCAPE?
Lynne: I've been a family life expert for more than twenty years, and there's so much about my work counseling parents, observing children, and teaching educators about families that I use in writing fiction. My desire to capture family life in authentic ways feeds the themes of all my novels. There's no shortage of seeds from my work that I use to inform my writing. Anton Chekhov called them little particulars. Right there in my everyday life are organic details that give genuineness to the stories I create. I've had my own grief work to do over the years; I lost my father when I was fifteen and my mother when I was forty. As a professional who's taught classes and counseled parents and children about healthy grieving, I've always been struck by the choices people make related to the loss of a loved one—the healthy and unhealthy ways grief work gets done. So I write about the choices people make when faced with unbelievable pain. What really holds a marriage together when it's tested. I examine the impact of loss on all kinds of relationships—mother, brother, sister, daughter, friend. If they start off strong—or don't—what happens? Why do some people thrive after a loss, finding true purpose, while others don't come out of it stronger?
Carrie: Which character do you identify with the most in SEA ESCAPE? How much of yourself did you put into these characters and did you realize you showed up in SEA ESCAPE? If so, while you were writing or only afterwards upon review?
Lynne: I truly care about all my characters—in all their shades of humanity—yet the one I love the most is Helen. Like my own mother did, Helen struggles with what's called prolonged grief disorder, a specific kind of depression brought on by loss. For some, grief refuses to follow the typical trajectory toward healing. In my years as a grief counselor, I've met countless people who simply can not move through the grieving process. I empathize with Helen, stuck in the past, gripped by the pain of loss. I have enormous compassion for her because of what my mother experienced after the death of my father. For this reason, SEA ESCAPE is a deeply personal and emotional novel for me. Helen is a character I will be forever connected to.
Carrie: What's the best advice you've ever received about writing fiction?
Lynne: Close the door on the marketplace while you write. Writing to trends–trying to guess what readers want–isn't for me. I feel an obligation to write for the story, to let the characters tell me about their lives. I believe if my story and characters are authentic, the novel will find its audience.
Carrie: Can you offer a glimpse into your "real life" and share with us a bit of your personal life—Outside of writing, what's important to you?
Lynne: I live in a seaside town much like Anaskaket depicted in SEA ESCAPE. I'm married to the most supportive husband a woman could have, and we have two college age children; a daughter studying vocal performance and music education, and a son studying jazz piano and music sound recording. My family provides me my greatest joy in life—and there's a lot of music in my life too. My husband and children support, encourage, and ground me in unbelievable ways. I am very blessed. If I'm not spending time with them, or writing, I'm reading. The to-be-read piles of books in my home are an embarrassment of riches.
Carrie: What authors, books, or ideas have influenced your writing?
Lynne: Everything I read influences my work. If a novel isn't working for me, I try to analyze from a craft perspective, why that's the case. And if I love it, the same applies. I want to know how and why it sings. There are so many novels on my keeper shelf, books I dip in to, to be inspired. Wally Lamb's, The Hour I First Believed; Margot Livesey's, Eva Moves the Furniture; Nicole Krauss's, The History of Love. I love everything by Ann Patchett, Sue Miller, and Jonathan Safran Foer. Novels I've recently read and adored include Day for Night by Frederick Reiken, and Little Bee by Chris Cleave.
Just a Bit More About Lynne Griffin:
Lynne Griffin writes about family life. She is the author of, Sea Escape-A novel (Simon & Schuster, July 2010) Life Without Summer-A novel (St. Martin's Press, 2009), and the nonfiction parenting title, Negotiation Generation (Penguin, 2007). Lynne teaches family studies at the graduate level and writing at Grub Street Writers in Boston. She appears regularly on Boston's Fox Morning News talking about family life issues. Lynne writes for the blog, Family Life Stories.

SEA ESCAPE Excerpt ~ Chapter 1
Letters are windows casting light, illuminating the ties between two people. I could've sneaked a peek inside my parents' romance by reading his letters to her, but I respected my mother's love of curtains. At forty-five, the details of their marriage remained a mystery to me; I had no desire to confirm what I already knew. Even dead, she loved him more than me. My mother spent her days drenched in memories of safe arms and sweet music, reading his precious words, faded ink on yellowed stationery. I looked for ghosts around corners, certain I was running out of time to find a way to be enough for her. An inability to live in the present was one thing we had in common.
"Are you okay in there, Mother?" Well aware she startled at loud noises, I knocked lightly on the door nearest the driveway. No answer. By the fourth rap, I couldn't stop myself, I was pounding.
The first pinprick of worry jabbed me as I wondered if this was the day I'd find my mother dead in her double bed, cold, even though she was covered by her wedding quilt of interlocking green and pink floral circles. Juggling two grocery bags and reminding the kids to stop at the end of the boardwalk leading to Anaskaket Beach, I jiggled the lock, but she'd bolted and double-bolted the place as if Sea Escape sat on a main street in the city instead of on waterfront acreage south of Boston.

I don't get the chance to do as many interviews anymore as I once did. That's due to a number of factors, the day job takes up a lot of time and energy, the books I've been working on also take up time, this blog takes my focus away and, well it just adds up. Still I place the feelers out there and when an interview comes along I swoop on it and cross my fingers. Sometimes they don't go as planned, other times they have spectacular results. Joe Sinnott is in the latter category.
I made contact with Joe in order to see if an interview was possible and, if not, to see if I could get a soundbite/quote from Joe to use in the Jim Mooney book. I'd emailed Joe's son Mark and soon got a reply with a lovely paragraph about Jim and an invite to call Joe to have a chat. Needless to say I took the invite up. I've not regretted it.
Joe is a true gentleman. I've spoken to a lot of people doing this stuff, and indeed a lot before that, yet Joe is one of the best. He ranks up there with anyone I've had the pleasure of speaking to, he's funny, polite, open and honest. This is a man who's done more art than pretty much anyone you'd care to mention, yet he's still in there producing the Spider-Man Sunday strip and the odd job as it comes along. I came away from the conversation feeling uplifted and it's revitalised my desire to do this kind of thing - since then I've spoken to Mike Royer, Larry Lieber, Paul Neary, Danny Budilandi, Ron Wilson, Alan Wiess and a host of others. Now to find time to transcribe the tapes.
Plus we had an instant connection. Speaking with Joe we started talking about Bing Crosby. I like Der Bingle, always have, always will (couldn't give a fat rats about his personal side) and when Joe asked where in Australia I lived he suddenly came alive and told me that one of his best chums also lives here. About a week later I contacted Joe's chum and had a pleasant Sunday afternoon chat with him, about Joe, Der Bingle, golf and the world in general. It is indeed a small world when you discover that one of Joe Sinnott's best friends lives about twenty minutes away.
Still, have a read of the interview and see for yourself. Click this link and you'll soon find it. So far all the feedback that I've gotten has been good, not that I fish for feedback, but it's good to know that people have enjoyed the efforts.

The secret is out
With fifteen minutes to go before Edric arrives, I begin to grow antsy. Constantly pacing or tapping my feet.
"Will you just sit down!" Gemma screams at me after my twelfth time walking around the sitting room.
Reluctantly, I walk over to the two sweater couch and sit. After a minute, I get back up and begin pacing again.
"Kayla!" Gemma warns me, the air around the room stirring with her anger.
"Sorry, I can't." I reply, my hands twitching at my sides as I stand to the side of the two seater couch, staring at the tv opposite me. Where a reporter is talking to me,
"Indeed, free radicals have an impact on all of our lives." I glare at the tv.
A force of air pushes me forward, to the side and then back, causing my legs to buckle with the couch. I collapse onto it, turning to glare at my sister.
After two more minutes of adverts, I begin to tap my foot, the only part of me Gemma's spell allows me to move.
"Can you not sit still for ten minutes?"Gemma asks.
"Why are you watching my foot in the first place?" I retort, continuing to tap my foot.
"I'm not. I can see it in the corner of my eye." She tells me. I give her a death glare.
"Let me up." I say slowly, accenting each word. With narrow eyes, Gemma releases the spell holding me down.
"Goodbye." I say, getting up and walking out the room.
"He won't arrive for another ten minutes." Gemma tells me.
"I know. I'm going to find someone else to irritate." I inform her before leaving the room and headed to the kitchen.
Inside on the table sits Veronica with stationary and a lined notepad in front of her.
"There is no way you got homework already." I say, standing at the side of the table looking over to her.
"It's not. It's a letter for Lucy." She replies, not looking up.
"Lucy," I repeat blankly. Veronica rolls her eyes.
"Fourth year, witch, France, family problems." She says, a slight smile tugging at her lips. Realisation hits me.
"Dead father Lucy? Moved to live with mum?" I verify, receiving a nod. "Tell her I say hi." I add as I walk back out the room, heading up the stairs to see Rose.
In the door directly opposite mine is Rose's room, joined with Veronica's. inside, I can hear the sounds of one of her video games. I enter.
"Hey Rose," I say, heading straight towards her tv and the cabinet under it.
"Hi," she says distractedly, shooting at someone on screen.
"Multiplayer?" I ask, picking up one of the wii controllers.
"Yeah sure, give me a mo." She says as she pauses and saves the game she is on.
Loading a new file, I sit on the bed next to her, controller in hand.
After we have picked our weapons, her a semi automatic pistol, and me a sword, we choose 10 opponents and play.
As the game is loading, I envision the two of us in the game.
The game begins as Rose and I are transported into the game, graphics turning into reality.
Looking around, we are in an abandoned warehouse, standing in the middle of a large room, boxes and crates providing excellent hiding places for our opponents.
Right on cue, I spot a shadow moving. Rose and I stand back to back, weopons held out in front of us.
"one at six" I say, facing a man who's head appeared above the boxes.
In a well practiced move, Rose turns around, gun in hand as I flip the other way, maintaining our back contact.
To my right, four men move out, two holding different guns, the other two holding swords.
"your nine" I say watching the men move.
"your nine" replies Rose. I turn to my left to see another three men all holding swords.
"I'll take three, you take four" I say as I move towards the three men, knowing Rose will have moved to hers.
Two loud bangs and two of the four are down.
The three infront of me split up, the man infront with no teeth showing through his creepy grin raises his sword before moving it in a figure eight, lifting straight up and then out, aiming for my head. I lift my sword up to stop the blow at the same time I kick my foot out, hitting him in the shin.
He falls. I bring the sword down on his head and watch as he vanishes into mist, failed.
The other two men, one with a bright red beard and the other with short blonde hair have positioned themselves to each side of me.
With a co-ordinated move, they both bring their swords towards me, blond to my front, red to my back.
I drop, the swords nearly missing my head. I hit the sword out to the left, chopping red head who falls then vanishes. Just blonde and me left.
Slashing my sword, I get him across the gut. He falls, joining his red headed counterpart.
"How you holding up?" I call to Rosé as I turn around.
She is cornered by the two with swords, her gun a good ten feet away.
"Could do with a little hand" she says lightly as she ducks down from a punch, swinging a leg out and knocking him down. As Rosé gets back up, the second man punches her in the head.
"Sure? I think you are managing just fine." I say as I head over, wincing at the punch she received.
"Just get your ass over here!" Rose orders, kicking at the first guy.
"A please wouldn't go amiss." I say as I reach them, cutting the second guys arm off, causing him to vanish. "Do you think you can manage this one on your own?" I ask just as Rose lands a kick to the guys gut, he falls, Rose whacks the back of his head, he falls again, this time into unconsciousness.
"Sword." rose says, holding her hand out." I throw it over. She chops the guys head off.
"Now. Where is the last one?" I ask, looking around the room.
"Uh... Kayla?" Rose asks, I spin around at gape.
The last guy has found him self a tank.
"Oy! That is called an unfair advantage!" I complain, looking down at my now useless sword.
"Any ideas?" Rose asks, staring wide eyed at the monstrosity.
"Run?" I ask.
"Run." Rose agrees.
"Run!" We both scream, turning and bolting from the machine.
"That man should be disqualified." I screech as I manoeuvre past boxes and crates which the tank smashes in seconds.
"New game!" Rose screams from three metres to my left.
"Agreed." I say, stopping and closing my eyes, concentrating on my body in Rose's room.
Opening them, we are both back in the room, holding our wii remotes and gasping for air.
"That has to be cheating." Rose informs me, glaring at the tv.
"Well, we did get rid of the other nine quite easy. So it's compensating I suppose." I say, getting up and turning to the door.
"Kayla?" Rose asks, causing me to pause.
"Yeah?" I reply, Turing to face her.
"Don't be nervous, he is supposed to be yours. It will be fine." She says.
"Thanks," I smile, leaving the room and headed to the stairs just as the bell goes.
"I got it." I say as Gemma and Veronica both get up.
Opening the door, Edric is standing, looking as nervous as I feel.
"See you" I call back, leaving the house.
We make the fifteen minute walk to our clearing in complete silence. Both of us too nervous to speak, no idea what to say.
Once in the clearing, I walk up to a tree and jump into it. Edric follows, sitting on the branch in front of me.
"Well." He says.
"Hi," I say quietly.
"What is it?" He asks, typically going straight to the point.
I pause, looking into his eyes, my stomach clenching. If there is one thing on this planet I am scared off, it is his reaction. I don't think I could Bare if he thinks this is all some joke.
"Just come out and say it." He tells me.
"I'm a witch." I say, looking at him.
He Looks back at me, face and eyes expressionless.
"Well, I know you have a temper but I wouldn't say it is that bad." He finally says, looking slightly confused.
"No. I mean I am a witch. With spells and voodoo dolls." I tell him, leaning back from him, scared of his reaction. He raises an eyebrow at me.
"And I'm a wizard." he answers me. I feel my chest tighten. He doesn't believe me.
Instinctivlu, I send a tendril of power into him to listen to his thoughts. I know it is wrong, that I shouldn't invade his personal space like this but my power, unlike my sisters', tends to have a mind of its own and, before I am able to pull it back, I am inside his head.
"she's mad. I should have known she was too good to be true. I'll play along with her. Make her think I believe her and leave her tomorrow. I can't right now. It will be too close to her."
I yank the power out of his mind, my heart slowly and agonizingly splitting Into two. Before I am able to stop myself, a tear slides out of my eye and rolls sadly down my cheek.
"hey! No need to cry!" he says tightly, leaning forward on his branch to comfort me but, knowing his thoughts, I am unwilling to accept his comforts and back off.
"Y-you don't b-believe me!" I sob as more tears fall down my face, an unstoppable force.
He leans back, Unsure on how to comfort me. "Read my mind." He finally decides.
"I just have!" I wail.
He blinks, stunned.
"Fly?" He says without thinking. I grin through the years, a much better idea Forming.
"how about something else?" I ask, an idea forming.
"ok" he quickly agrees.
I concentrate in my pool of magic again, envisioning a destination and willing Edric and I there. Closing my eyes, I tighten my grip on Edric, letting my magic flow through my hand enter joining with him, making the two of us as one with my magic.
"close your eyes." I instruct, feeling the power of the spell increasing. Before I get the chance to check if Edric did so, a yank at my naval distracts me as I concentrate on maintaining the power needed. With a few more yanks, I feel an emptiness fill me as my power rips us from one part of the earth to the other.
A sudden wave of heat encases Edric and I as I open my eyes, looking out at the sands around us.
"where are we?" Edric asks, taking his light blue jumper off to reveal a short sleeved green top underneath.
"turn around" I tell him, doing so as he does.
The three largest pyramids of Egypt sit impressively on the sands.
"ok. Now there isn't a single doubt in my mind you are a witch." Edric tells me, putting his arm over my shoulders. "Nice view," he adds, twirling me round to face him and gazing into my eyes, "but there is a nicer one right in front of me." ad e leans down, his lips pressing against mine.
I push him back, another idea forming in my head. Grinning, I grab his hand and push my magic into him, lifting us up off the ground were I then teleport us to the head of the sphinx.
He looks around at the sands around us, the pyramids now in the distance instead of towering over us.
"beautiful." he says, turning back to me and putting his arms around my waste. "is there anything you can't do?" he then asks, sitting down and pulling me with him.
"bring something back from the dead, travel in time," I say immediately.
"who else is a witch?" he then asks.
"my sisters, mother and those on the council."
"the council?" he says, his brow furrowing.
"a bunch of grown ups who make the rules. We have a meeting every Wednesday. You will be coming to this weeks one. So we can discus the ritual." I inform him, leaning back so my head is on his chest, he begins to play with my hair, gazing out at the scenery.
"we should head back," I say after an hour.
"yeah." Edric sighs, sitting up and grabbing my hands.
I concentrate again on my pool of magic, picturing the dark brown couch in our sitting room.
The magic spreads between the both of us and, before I close my own, I notice Edric has already closed his eyes, I smile before we are transported back.
For one millisecond, we are frozen in mid air before we collapse, agony shooting through our spines as we land on the floor a metro in front of the couch.
"ouch!" Edric complains, falling into his back.
"sorry, long distance teleportation isn't very accurate." I tell him, slowly getting up and noticing Gemma still sitting on the couch, Watching coronation street. Laughing so hard she is almost falling off the seat.
With a grin, I pull some magic and push it out behind Gemma before I push it, causing it to push her forward, landing face first on the ground.
"now how funny is it?" I ask, glaring at the back of her head.
"still hilarious" she grins getting back up. "how you dealing?" she then asks Edric, getting back onto her seat.
"still in the oh my god stage" he answers, carefully getting up.
"you back?"
Two simultaneous voices ask, walking into the room along with Rose and Veronica.
"yup." I answer.
"the four of you." Edric says, looking from one of us to the other.
"yes, didn't Kayla tell you?" Veronica asks, sending a glare my way.
"of course I did!" I tell her offended.
"yeah, she did," Edric says at the same time.
"kids?" asks mum as she walks in, dark brown hair wet from a shower.
"yes?" the five of us say at once.
"Want some apple pie?" She asks is, smiling.
"please mum," Veronica, Gemma, Rose and I say at once.
"yes please Ms Brinalkon,"
"ok" she says cheerfully, walking back out of the room again.
"random." Gemma says turning to watch the tv.
"meh" Veronica adds, taking a seat on the couch.
"I love mums pie!" Rose says happily collapsing on the couch.
"damn it!" Gemma suddenly shouts out.
"what?" Veronica, Rose, Edeic and I say turning to her.
"language" Mums voice calls from the kitchen.
"I missed the fight!" Gemma wails.
I stare blankly at her then turn to the tv where the end credits of Coronation Street are showing.
"what are you?" Rose asks rolling her eyes and taking her phone out of her pocket.
"oh yeah!" Gemma exclaims, clicking her fingers and watching the tv go back to just before the fight, "not one sound." she adds, staring intently at the tv.

Europe Lacks Founding Father as Russia Sows DivisionsJames G. Neuger
What the European Union needs is someone like John Jay.
Appealing in 1787 for the ratification of the U.S. constitution, the American founding father said "a cordial Union, under an efficient national government" would provide "the best security that can be devised against hostilities from abroad."
From Ukraine's upheaval and the renewed Russian menace to Syria's civil war and chaotic post-revolutionary Libya, today's EU confronts no shortage of external dangers. But instead of knitting the bloc's 28 countries together, the threats have exposed what is keeping them apart.
"The EU is internally divided about the right answer," said Jan Marinus Wiersma, a former Dutch member of the European Parliament who is now with the Clingendael Institute in The Hague. "As long as there is no common direction in how to react to Russia's ambitions, we will keep a divided Europe."
Throughout history, perils from abroad have been spurs to unity. Continued British animosity after the American revolution led to the setup of the U.S. federal government; the consolidation of federal power after the U.S. Civil War was one of the factors that led Britain to turn its Canadian colonies into a confederation. Switzerland evolved out of a medieval alliance to defend Alpine trade routes.
Limited Authority
The modern-day EU has taken a different path, and hasn't gotten as far. Post-World War II western Europe relied on the U.S. for defense, allowing it to stitch together a market that culminated with the creation of the euro currency in 1999. The result is a loose federation with limited authority in Brussels and most power residing in national capitals such as Berlin, Paris and London.
Europe doesn't need to be much more than that, said Thomas Hueglin, a professor at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada, who studies federal systems. What matters is that the decision-making apparatus that was revamped in response to the euro debt crisis brings back the prosperity that nurtured the bloc in the past, he said.
"When people think of federalism, they have in mind this idea of the American federal state, so strongly and overpoweringly centralized," Hueglin said. "But the European Union is a much more decentralized form of federalism that is a more adequate model in a globalizing world."
Asia Pivot
That thesis is being tested by U.S. military disengagement from Europe and focus on Asia. President Barack Obama's four-country tour of the Pacific rim that ends tomorrow affirms the U.S. "pivot" to Asia, even if it is punctuated by small-scale European deployments to show NATO resolve against Russia. From authoritarian Belarus through the Caucasus, to the Middle East and the unfinished Arab Spring across the north of Africa, the EU is ringed by downtrodden economies plagued by social and religious strife, in many cases ruled by dictators or sham democrats.
Wedged against Poland and the Baltic states, Belarus has managed to antagonize both the EU and Russia. President Alexander Lukashenko, once dubbed Europe's last dictator for a litany of human rights violations, broadcast that he is no puppet of the Kremlin. "I'm not toilet paper," Lukashenko, whose regime is under EU sanctions, told a Minsk audience including the Russian ambassador on April 22.
Syrian 'Carnage'
Russia's annexation of Crimea and infiltration of southeast Ukraine has captured so much attention that former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair felt compelled to warn that a graver crisis is unfolding to the south, pitting the forces of modernity against the forces of reaction in the Muslim world.
"Ukraine has served to push the Middle East to the inside pages, with the carnage of Syria featuring somewhat, but the chaos of Libya -- whose government we intervened to change -- hardly meriting a mention," Blair, now a United Nations envoy to the Middle East, told an audience at Bloomberg's London office on April 23. "However, the Middle East matters. What is presently happening there still represents in my view the biggest threat to global security of the early 21st century."
Syria's three-year civil war has left at least 150,000 dead. Egypt underwent two popular uprisings, the first to end military rule and the second to restore it. Two prime ministers of Libya have quit in as many months, reflecting the country's lurch toward failed-state status three years after Muammar Qaddafi's ouster. Turkey, once seen by the EU as a bridge to the Muslim world, is regularly condemned for democratic infringements such as the censoring of Twitter Inc. services; its bid for EU membership is moribund.
Jell Together
Believers in a more centrally managed Europe contend that unstable surroundings will jell the EU together, just as the looming presence of the British navy helped unite the United States.
"European integration is a tool for a better future and to keep that peace on our continent, in our own countries, in the Balkans and in our neighborhood in Ukraine," Guy Verhofstadt, a former Belgian prime minister, current candidate for European Commission president and author of "United States of Europe," said in the European Parliament on April 16.
Compared to past federations forged in hostile environments, today's EU faces more diffuse hazards. Only Russia, with 40,000 troops mobilized on Ukraine's borders, stands for military aggression. Even that old-style threat has failed to bring European governments together: economic sanctions against Russia have yet to materialize, almost two months after the EU warned of "additional and far-reaching consequences for relations in a broad range of economic areas" unless the Kremlin leaves Ukraine in peace.
National Front
Disorder on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea hasn't bolstered the pro-EU cause; the opposite is the case. With EU-wide unemployment at 10.6 percent and youth unemployment at 22.9 percent, protest parties such as Marine Le Pen's National Front in France are cashing in on fears of economic disruption, an influx of refugees and the export of radical Islamist ideologies from trouble spots in the Middle East and Africa.
Elections to the EU parliament on May 25 are shaping up as a no-confidence vote in people in power, whatever their political hue. Le Pen's party may win more seats than any other French party, with 24 percent of the national vote, according to a CSA poll for Nice-Matin and BFM TV published on April 24.
Across the EU, none-of-the-above parties may pick up 12.5 percent of the seats in the next parliament, up from 4.3 percent in the current term, according to projections by PollWatch, an independent statistical organization.
Internal 'Incapacity'
That outcome would turn the parliament, which serves as a lower house in EU policy making with the national governments functioning as a more influential senate, into the battlefront between EU promoters and rejectionists united by distaste for anything with the "Brussels" label, putting a coherent foreign policy even more out of reach.
"We reflect in our foreign policy the incapacity we also show internally to deal with the financial crisis," said Ana Gomes, a Portuguese socialist campaigning for a third term in the EU parliament. She said the election may produce "a more fragmented Europe, a more polarized situation that can be in the first moments even extremely dangerous to the European project."

When asked to think of USO entertainers, many people imagine Bob Hope or, more recently, country music superstars such as Toby Keith. Grammy-nominated rapper Paul Wall may be less expected, but, having recently come back from his 5th USO tour to the Middle East, is definitely one of the biggest supporters of the USO and our nation's troops!
How did you get started touring with the USO?
There was a guy in Texas, his name is Mattress Mack and he owns a huge furniture store in Houston and he did a lot of events and stuff for the USO and he suggested I go out on a tour. And then my good friend Jamie Kennedy and I went out on a USO variety type show. He did stand-up and I performed for troops. It was a great experience and I really appreciated the opportunity to perform for troops.
What was your most memorable experience over the years?
The thing that sticks out the most is one time in Afghanistan, there was so much activity in the air terminals and we ended up getting stuck there. Our USO tour manager stayed up all night trying to arrange a way for us to get out, if he hadn't done that we may have been stuck there for more than just a day. The whole time I was thinking about my family and getting home to them and I knew that this was nothing compared to what the troops must feel. I was only away from my family for a week but these guys are gone for months and a year at a time, I could only imagine how long an extra day might feel to them, if they were trying to get home and something like this happened. It just made me appreciate them even more for all of their hard work and sacrifice.
[caption id="attachment_6697" align="aligncenter" width="449" caption="Hip-hop artist Paul Wall brings members from the 380th Expeditionary Wing on stage during his USO concert on Jan. 18."][/caption]
How have things changed since your first USO tour?
With the drawdown in Iraq this time I had the chance to visit different areas of the Middle East. We Went to Kuwait, Djibouti and an undisclosed location in the Middle East. I almost experienced kind of a role reversal in Djibouti because many of the troops there had never been to Iraq or Afghanistan and they were asking me questions about what it was like over there. It really just made me realize how versatile our troops are and even though they may not be serving in theater they are still sacrificing time with their family, friends and loved ones and that they care about their fellow troops who are on the frontlines.
If you could say one thing to the men and women serving this country what would it be?
Thank you and I'll see you when you get back or on my next USO tour!
Wall, whose latest album "Politics as Usual" was released last year, says, "My family is the most important thing to me and being apart from them, for any amount of time, is always hard. I can't imagine how it must be for our troops. Most of them haven't seen their family in months, that's why I make it a point to go on tour with the USO whenever I can. Our troops need to know that we appreciate them."

Little Boy Takes Dad's Joke Too Literally
Photo Credit: YouTube
At some point in all of our lives, a dad or male figure played the "I've got your nose" game with us. It usually gets us the first time around but eventually we figure it out.
This little guy didn't find the humor in it...at all. In fact, the joke brings him to tears.
However, his sadness brings us laughter because he's pretty adorable. This kid needs to relax and take a joke.

Pekka Pouta - Winter is coming - GOT Weatherman
Janill Gilbert stashed this in Game of Thrones
I catch myself saying this all the time.
Stashed in: Game of Thrones!, Weather!, MTV, Nordic!
Pekka Ilmari [1] Pouta (p. 1968 Savonlinna) is a Finnish meteorologist who has predicted the weather from 1991 onwards MTV3 television channel.
Initially Pouta studied at the University of Helsinki theoretical physics. [2] However, meteorologists were offered more summer jobs, and the same faculty was possible to study meteorology, so Pouta ended up in the current job. [3] In his meteorological studies are still in progress. [2]
Pouta is known to metal music, a great friend and has been an annual visitor in Helsinki on Tuska festival. [
So many questions!
1. What do you find yourself saying? "Winter is coming"?
2. What do Finnish weather people report besides lots of snow?
3. There's an MTV3??
1. Yes
2. Maybe long sunny days in the Summer?
3. I think there are many MTV's, but maybe it's not the same MTV that we know.
Ah, thank you.
Winter IS coming, Finland does have long summer days, and yes there are many MTVs.

Feeding babies milk enriched with nutrients to promote faster weight gain in infancy makes them fatter later in life, researchers suggest.
Body fat mass in five to eight-year-olds was 22 per cent to 38 per cent greater in those who were given nutrient-enriched milk as babies than those who had standard formula, according to a team based at University College London's Institute of Child Health.
Previous studies have shown a link between over-nutrition in childhood and overweight adults in animals, but this is the first demonstration in humans when other factors, such as the size of mothers, are ruled out.
The scientists said the findings, published online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, have important public health implications as Britain tackles the problem of obesity. They confirm previous estimates that more than 20 per cent of adult obesity may be caused by over-nutrition or other early excessive weight gain in infancy.
Researchers looked at two randomised, controlled, double blind studies – where neither they nor the mothers knew which kind of milk they were assigned – involving newborn babies.
Professor Atul Singhal, who led the research, said: "This study robustly demonstrates a link between early nutrition and having more fat in later life in humans. Immediately, it raises the issue about the best way to feed those children small for gestational age, which should now be evaluated in the light of all current evidence. In public health terms, it supports the case in the general population for breastfeeding – since it is harder to overfeed a breastfed baby."

Mediaeval Baebes bring Latin, Middle English to UK folk festival
By Jeremy Gaunt
LONDON (Reuters) - Rock and folk fans are not often treated to Latin, Middle English and medieval German, but that is exactly what attendees at a recent music festival in rural England got.
The Mediaeval Baebes, a British folk/classical group that mixes ancient texts with new music, enchanted a crowd otherwise gathered in an Oxfordshire field for the heavy rock of Alice Cooper and the fiddle frenzy of The Levellers.
Cooper's "School's Out For Summer" gave way to "Adam Lay Ibounden", a tale in 15th century English about the first man's 4,000 years in bondage:
"Foure thousand winter/Thought he not too long/And all was for an apple/An apple that he tok".
Katherine Blake, the Baebes' classically trained founder and musical director, leads the group, which currently comprises six women but has been as large as 12.
With various personnel, Blake and her Baebes have spent 17 years touring folk clubs, church halls and singing at corporate functions.
The Oxfordshire gig at Fairport's Cropredy Convention, an annual festival of mixed genre music, was the latest big event. Coming up is a trip to America's East Coast that includes a performance at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.
Blake creates the songs, digging out the old texts - including from the romantic poets such as Byron - and reinterprets them with folk-cum-classical music. Continued...

Amore del tropico
By The Black Heart Procession
It took a couple of listens, but now I have TBHP filed comfortably in my musical catalogue of a brain cross referencing: The Pixies, Wilco, Grandaddy, and Grant Lee Buffalo. There is a distinct whiff in the air of Americana, Mexicana, Lo-fi Country, Surf guitar and Blues rock across what is a film soundtrack of an album.
The bands forth offering is the first not to be simply titled with a number i.e. 1, 2, 3, Amore del Tropico. It coolly slips around in the shadows wearing all black, adorned with a pearl trimmed cowboy hat and set of boots. Subtlety is the word hear and the tempo never creeps far above lilting, reverberating around a dusty bar way down south. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of playing this album a hundred times, but if I did I imagine it is only then that I would truly begin to appreciate it. My first taste had it down as dull, my second as atmospheric, my third as filmic, by my forth I was remembering tracks I liked previously and by my customary fifth and final listen I was enjoying it.
It's a grower but perhaps not fast enough, some tracks still merge into one another and with 17 to get through a lot of the subtlety gets missed. On saying this I doubt the album could have been any shorter to maintain it's overall effect. This will miss a mass audience and is truly to a mature music lovers tastes. Any one of these songs would fit perfectly to a Tarantino movie soundtrack and would certainly be the making of TBHP.

Machette - 3 (Best purchasable to go with the bow, stop rushers DEAD)
Saying that, I've been getting owned all day. Some really good players and some really crappy enemy spawnings, plus one guy who took a molly at his feet and didn't even blink. Go figure.

Welcome to Red River Reloading and Outdoors! We hope you enjoy your visit to our store. We love the great outdoors and want to share our love with you by offering a great selection of our favorite outdoor products from hundreds of great brands. From reloading to shooting, hunting, fishing, hiking, climbing and camping we have everything you and your family will need for the adventure. We currently have 54,291 products in-stock and ready to ship from 637 manufacturers in 641 categories. Enjoy!
I want to start by saying I am not an expert at reloading by far. As of the publishing date of this article I have only been reloading for about 5 years. I load various rifle and pistol calibers and think that reloading is a great hobby that if done well can enhance your shooting capabilities and accuracy potential and put a little money back into your pocket for important things like health care. When I first began reloading, something I have always wanted to do since I realized that you could, I found it to be a lot like a Chinese restaurant menu. Too many choices and gadgets to do all of the things you need to do to make a great cartridge.
The aim of this article is to help a newbie get started in the right direction. If you're already experienced and have another opinion, you're welcome to it. The internet is full of opinions. Be warned there are a lot of people who think they are experts whom are not. So take information you find out there like a grain of salt. Reloading can be dangerous and or fatal if extreme precaution is not taken.
We took these two boars at Hoffman Hunting Ranch in Rocksprings Texas recently. Don't let anyone tell you that a large boar isn't tasty. The spotted boar in the photo was probably between 200-250 lbs. and it was every bit as delicious as the 50-60 lb. animals that we shoot there more regularly. You will know if an animal is going to taste gamey the second you cut into one. If it stinks, trash it unless you like gamey flavor or are in desperate need of food. It is difficult but not impossible to make gamey meat more palatable.

The 15,000 Troop Option - By James Stavridis | Foreign Policy
Jared Sperli stashed this in war
Stashed in:
Why 15,000 troops? The post-2014 mission needs to be spread across Afghanistan, with centers in each of the regional commands -- north (Mazar-e-Sharif), west (Herat), south (Kandahar), and east (Bagram). There will have to be smaller centers in some of those regions as well, and a reliable ability to protect our own people and potentially provide some in-extremis support to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). All told, that will require 15,000 troops, still quite low compared with the 130,000 we had on the ground as recently as two years ago. This level would also provide critical mentoring and training in the areas in which the ANSF are still developing -- logistics, intelligence, medical support, close air support, and so forth.

Day 5: Cage Diving with Great White Sharks
... at the first sign of daylight and off we went.
As i mentioned in a previous post, our original shark diving date was cancelled due to large waves. Today was the first day they were able to run the tour. But man.... ...
Great White Shark Cage Diving
... we would pop down again as a shark or two went by. The sharks that we saw ranged anywhere from 3 - 5 meters in length and sometimes they would look right at us as they swam by.
Our group of eight people had 20 viewings and then it was time for the next group to go. Chris and I took turns going in the cage so that one person could take photographs from the upper deck of the boat. It was pretty thrilling.
The whole experience lasted for 4 hours. We ...
Sharks and Dolphins and Whales, OH MY!
... what??? I told him that if he went in I would go in. Ummmm .... "Its okay Mom, I'll go with dad" whew! I was so overwhelmed with pride at that moment, knowing then that this trip was worth it for him! He knew he would regret it if he didn't get in. And he did. But they waited and waited. They had just opened the top of the cage to let them out when a shark appeared, lid closed FAST! The shark came right up to Hunter's face, full on teeth in his face! it fought ...
Meeting Jaws
... that looked hollow. The visibility may have been poor but there was definitely no need for it to be any better. You were looking through the cage which had a long open viewing panel and all of a sudden this huge beast was right in front of you showing it's giant teeth as it goes for the bait.
This was one hell of an experience and I loved every second. I could never quite believe I was right next to these sharks that we are all so afraid of ...
Day 18 - A monster sea battle with Bruce.
... much better. When we arrived I didn't feel like tucking in to the continental breakfast they had set up but forced myself to have a yoghurt. The sea was making me feel queasy again. I think it was more nerves. Safety talk complete and changed into swimming stuff we set out on our journey to go find jaws. Sometimes they go to shark alley between Dyer and Geyser island. It would have been awesome to go there but they couldn't guarantee a sighting and it's further out. Further from ...

Meredith: Prince CharmingMature
"We're approaching the pier, Meredith. You should go change into something less slutty. You're only a kid of eighteen, yet you dress like a well seasoned hooker."
Meredith stuck out her tongue in disgust. Eleanor may have been her plus one on this trip, but Meredith could have thought of a hundred other people she would have preferred to have brought on her lovely vacation to her extremely rich grandpa's island.
"The middle aged slut doesn't even know how lucky she is to even be coming here with me," Meredith muttered to herself as she stormed back into the boat to grab anther change of clothes.
"Oh what to wear," she quickly forgot her recent quarrel as she pulled out a selection of clothes from her suite case that seemed way too large for any decent human being to have.
Her suite case, however, was meticulously organized into two sections. The clothes she knew were acceptable to wear around people above the age of thirty, and clothes that people under the age of 29 would think she was hot in.
After countless pairings of jeans, leggings, blouses, jackets and jewelry, she had finally settled for a simple pair of low waisted straight jeans with a nice opaque white blouse paired with her favorite heart necklace and matching diamond earrings.
Meredith looked herself up and down the mirror turning and posing and grinned at how perfect her body was. When she was finally satisfied with how she looked she walked to the mirror to touch up her make up and flipped her hair this way and that until it finally fell into place. She grinned and blew herself a kiss in the mirror and slipped on the three rings she had received from her grandpa throughout the few years she had know they were related.
Meredith walked pompously out onto the deck, winking at one of the men who she presumed was working on the boat and posed as Eleanor caught glimpse of her.
"How's this for appropriate?" She smirked as Eleanor looked her up and down clearly stunned at how well Meredith had cleaned up.
It was only to be expected. Of all her days at prep school, Eleanor had never seen Meredith with minimal makeup, decent clothes and hair that wasn't a rats nest.
"Well I must say," Eleanor began. Meredith's smile grew as she just knew what Eleanor was going to say next. Praise maybe? "You do look less like a hooker and more like a decent human being." She looked away to stare at the sea again.
Meredith's mouth dropped and then quickly formed a pout as she stormed to the other side of the deck to stare at the water that wasn't contaminated by the thoughts of Eleanor.
"How rude," she whispered. "I look amazing."
Her eyes began to water as she continued to stare out into the vast amounts of water that lay before her and as soon as she felt a tear roll down, she caught it on her finger and stormed back inside the boat and into the bathroom.
She looked herself in the mirror as she whipped away all the other stray tears that had made it onto her cheek.
A knock came at the door as she quickly blew her nose and made herself presentable once again. She opened the door only to see a tall man standing by the door.
"Hello," he said in a low raspy voice. "I heard someone crying and I thought I should tell you that you look stunning in that outfit." He smiled as his brown eyes sparkled with charm.
His hair fell in all the right places and went perfectly with the black suite he wore. "Are you going to the Murray estate?" He asked.
"Duh," Meredith rolled her eyes. "Everyone on this ship is. This ship that I don't remember seeing you board." Meredith began to grow suspicious.
"Oh," the man stood up straight and extended his hand towards Meredith. "My names John. It's pleased to meet you.."
"Meredith," she blushed, taking his hand. "Well, I have to go," she quickly pulled away and began to walk away.
"I'll see you soon," John called.
"Yeah," she whispered as she smiled walked away, but in her head she was skipping. He was her Prince Charming.

I've been reading your blog for a bit but this is my first time to comment. You can get a Garmin Forerunner 305 which seems to be just as good as the newer version for around 150.00 at Amazon.com. Most of the healthy living blogs I read all use this version. I'm actually saving for one right now as well! Good Luck with your training!ReplyDelete
Hi! Like the above commenter, I've been reading a while but haven't been commenting. Your training posts are so inspiring! I'm just starting to get back on track with working out. Do you have any workout music playlist suggestions? Thanks!ReplyDelete
Are you looking for a basic HR monitor, or something that will track your mileage, has GPS etc?ReplyDelete
This is just what I needed to read! This past Fall my coworkers and I started running and my sneakers haven't seen the pavement in about 3 weeks :(
So I've decided that you will be my motivation! I'm starting tomorrow :)
I completely agree with your training schedule.. running 3/4 miles a day is just enough when you're first getting started. I couldn't even run 1 mile and now I've reached 5 miles!
Good Luck and I can't wait to read more!
I envy your running! Although I'm finding I'm getting better at it I ran 3 miles on Saturday! That's as far as I've gone so far. Do you walk in between at all? Or straight running the whole time? Let me know what you pick for a heart rate monitor I've been looking into them too and didn't realize how pricey they can be.ReplyDelete
Hey girl! I got my Garmin Forerunner on Amazon for $149...or was it $139? One of those! I got the 205 version (the one withOUT the heart monitor) thanks to my running buddies. I have running faithful friends who have both versions between them, and they admit that they wish they hadn't splurged the extra for the heart monitor because they don't ever use it. Why do you really need to know your heart rate? You don't. So go for the 205, more economical version off of Amazon. (I think mine shipped from Target.) I LOVE it. And right at your price range!ReplyDelete
Good luck on your run on Saturday! I have some friends training for the marathon and I envy all of you for having that kind of motivation. I go to the gym 6 days a week, but I don't ever run that much.
As far as watches go-- I have a Polar F6 and I love it! It's about $120 (although I won mine another blogger I follow) and it's definitely worth it. I'm not sure what all you're looking to track, but it's got a LOT of features.
You are doing awesome! Keep up the great work!ReplyDelete
Good luck with your run and I agree with the other gals, a heart monitor is super annoying and does not stay on very well. A garmin is your best bet, or, if you want to save money, just figure out your minute mile. That way you know how many miles you are running without having a watch keep track. I actually had a watch and took it back because I figured out that my minute mile is about 13 via a treadmill or you can have someone time you around a track...hope you find what you are looking for! :)ReplyDelete
My husband has the Garmin Forerunner 4O5 and he loves it...but he got his for Christmas and it was hella expensive.
I have a great heartrate monitor because I have heart problems and it is meant for running. I bought it at Target for maybe $5O bucks?
You are doing great!!!
And um, my garmin is freaking amazing. You can find the older version, the 305, for around $140-$150! It is nearly as awesome as the 405, promise :)
I agree with the others who say go for the Garmin 305. I received the 405 as a gift (thank god because it is super expensive) and I love it but I think the only major differences are superficial. The 305 is bigger which some people like better because there are more buttons, making it easier to use, and the other difference is that the 405 has a touch sensitive bezel instead of buttons.ReplyDelete
Way to go! Good luck!!!ReplyDelete
