Wayne Law Review Symposium on drug policy set for March 24
DETROIT – This year's Wayne Law Review Symposium will bring together judges, scholars and practitioners on Friday, March 24, to discuss "The Changing Face of the War on Drugs: Mass Incarceration, Overcriminalization, and Evolving Drug Policy."
Denise Page Hood, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, will deliver the keynote address.
The symposium will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium at Wayne State University Law School, 471 W. Palmer St. The event is free and open to the public.

Register by Friday, March 17, at law.wayne.edu/lawreview2017.
The Wayne Law Review Symposium is made possible through the support of the Cohn Family Endowed Fund.
Recent national attention given to increased opioid addiction, pain management and the criminal legal system has incentivized the legal community to re-examine the war on drugs and other matters such as aggressive policing, prosecutorial discretion, excessive bail and all of the collateral consequences of such practices.

Part 1 of this series is way back here. Recently I've been looking at curious problems surrounding the empty tomb narratives in the Gospels and how they point away, in one or two categories I think quite decisively, from GosMark's having invented the empty tomb.
But enough about the Gospel accounts. How about some disappearing Acts? No, not the Ascension account in Acts. I'm talking about the tomb!
7.) The canonical book of Acts is quite notable, not only for having some seriously primitive(-seeming) language in talking about the risen Jesus, but in a lack of detail during reported preaching about the empty tomb.
And by a lack of detail, I mean almost no mention of the tomb at all!
To begin with, it's important to notice, and to keep in mind, that regardless of whether Acts and GosLuke were written by the same guy, and regardless of any redactional theories of Acts' composition; whoever put Acts together in its final form, explicitly intended it to be accepted as a sequel to GosLuke -- which has a well-developed empty-tomb and post-tomb set of appearance stories.
And yet, the empty tomb quickly disappears, not only from the Acts narrative (which wouldn't be unreasonable, since the story picks up several weeks past the empty tomb), but also from evangelical preaching reported in Acts.
It arguably disappears in the very first public sermon, in Acts 2! Peter draws attention to the tomb of David which is still among them to this day, with the comparison that while David's body is still in his tomb Jesus is... well, raised up.
That comparison implies an empty tomb and a different fate for the body (which doesn't see corruption unlike David's). But there is no explicit mention of the empty tomb in that sermon, or even by implication for long afterward in the book!
This omission makes some sense if Acts is reporting early Christian preaching with fair accuracy as to the contents. It also makes sense if, as noted in the Gospel accounts of the tomb, the empty tomb has practically nothing to do with the authority of the apostles!
It also makes sense in that, while the tomb might be revered (and there are early traditions that it was indeed revered until an Emperor put an end to that after the Jewish rebellion in the early 2nd century), it would quickly be of no apologetic value. Oh hey, look, it's an empty tomb!... so what?! Even in that side-implication of comparison in Peter's first reported sermon, 50(ish) days after the fatal Passover, no one suggests people go look at where Jesus isn't, compared to where David still is -- which would be stupid. For that matter, back in the Gospels, only Peter and the Beloved Disciple are mentioned as even bothering to go look at the empty tomb once they hear about! -- and one of those two reports is a late insertion into GosLuke's text! And in GosJohn, Peter and the BD go due to an expectation that the body was moved for unknown but mundane reasons! It isn't even the tomb's emptiness that convinces the BD, but the way the shroud was dealt with. Peter goes away with no understanding that Jesus has come back at all.
So a near total lack of tomb appeal for apologetic purposes in Acts, and that only early, and only sort-of-implied, fits just fine with a (near) total lack of the importance of the empty tomb for the apostles in the canonical Gospels.
There is, however, one (and exactly one) explicit mention of Jesus being buried in a tomb per se, in the Acts preaching: and it comes from Saul of Tarsus in Acts 13, during his first missionary journey. Perhaps coincidentally, Acts reports that Paul's aide known as John (by implication later, John Mark) had just departed from Paul's group (apparently for the first time, not yet causing the split between Barnabas and Paul), before this sermon which Paul gives to a synagogue at Pisidian Antioch as a traveling guest preacher.
So the Acts author presents Paul, the former persecutor of Christians, as knowing about the tomb and its emptiness! -- in a text where the tomb is hardly mentioned, even in Christian preaching, including not by Paul afterward!
Of course, strictly speaking Paul doesn't say Jesus came bodily out of the tomb, but he uses technical terminology that would have been recognized by a Jewish audience (which is who he is preaching to in this scene) for a resurrection, not a mere vision of being raised, and moreover he goes on to connect this raising, just like Peter does back in Acts 2, to the prophecy of God preventing the body of His Holy One from seeing decay, whereas (by the comparison made by both Peter and Paul) David did decay after he was buried. So Acts doesn't only present Paul in an early Pauline sermon (the first one reported from Paul in Acts, although there are snippets of his preaching before then) knowing about the tomb, but preaching a bodily resurrection and, by consequence, an empty tomb. (This sermon, as usual in Acts, features arguably primitive terminology, too.)
I will note that while several more speeches are recorded from Paul for the rest of the book, in almost every case he is in a position where Roman authorities are nearby; so, not surprisingly, while he talks about the resurrection of the dead, and of Jesus, he does not talk about Jesus having been condemned to die on a cross by the Roman governor! -- a key point in earlier speeches to Jewish audiences. That being the case, it is not too surprising that he (or the summary of his speeches provided in Acts, since it is not normal procedure in such texts to provide the whole speech but rather a topical overview) no longer mentions a tomb per se either. In a main exception, at the Mars Hill philosophical forum in Athens, he has only just introduced the topic of resurrection when, upon hearing this, he is hooted out of the forum before he goes into any detail. Which, not incidentally, is (further) evidence that the resurrection being preached by Christians in Acts is not simply a vision or dream or the spiritual return of a bodiless spirit or something else easily acceptable by educated Greco-Roman culture.
And yet, Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus looks on the surface like a mere visionary appearance of Jesus; and Acts reports Paul having explicit visions of Jesus. And yet again, conceptually the Acts author can distinguish between them, and presents Paul (and Peter who also has a dream vision) as able to distinguish between them conceptually: they aren't making claims about the importance of a merely visionary "risen" Jesus, but about something that happened to him bodily after death -- a body which Paul says, or anyway is explicitly reported to say, was put in a tomb (which Peter also heavily implies).
So, what does all this have to do with the question of whether Mark possibly invented the empty tomb?
Acts shows that a major Christian author, namely the Acts author, who definitely knows about the empty tomb detail, and who at the absolute sceptical least is pretending to write a sequel to a text where the empty tomb is treated as being important in some ways -- yet definitely not in other ways -- could choose for whatever reason to talk barely at all about the empty tomb, in lots of places where the empty tomb would seem (on the face of it anyway) topically appropriate.
And if the Acts author doesn't think the empty tomb is important enough to always be putting into speeches about the importance of the risen Christ, then other early Christian authorities don't have to think it's important enough to always be talking about it explicitly in connection to the risen Christ, even if they also think it's important. Which happens to be exactly how the Acts author presents Peter and Paul! -- Peter and Paul both know about the empty tomb, but usually skirt the topic, so far as Acts reports them. It is, at best, a partly-explicit detail in one of Paul's speeches, and an implied detail on one of Peter's speeches, and that's it.
This is no small point, even though not specifically counting in favor of an empty tomb, as I'll show later.
But to this I will add that, so far as someone judges the Acts author to be historically reliable on reporting fairly mundane data, including the gist of what his subjects believed and taught, especially where he regards himself as a companion of one of them -- and the "we" narrative sections of Acts clearly show the author is making a claim to be a companion and disciple of Paul -- then that weighs proportionately in favor of the author accurately reporting that Paul knew about the empty tomb. And since, on grounds that would take far, farrrrrr too long to cover in even a series of blog posts, I do regard the Acts author as being an accurate historian (and would still consider him that on mundane matters at least, if I was an atheist), then that counts to me as evidence that the empty tomb doesn't just predate Mark as an idea, but goes back, via Paul who is presented by the Acts author as being familiar with the situation in Jerusalem, to the first days after Christ's death.
At the absolute worst, it would mean Acts is inadvertently revealing that Paul is who invented the empty tomb, sometime in his first missionary journey, long before writing his epistles, long before the standard dating of GosMark, thus definitely before the composition of GosMark. Mark didn't invent it; and Acts says his character (the person whom the Gospel's composition was universally attributed to) happened to be serving Paul near the time when Paul gave the only speech in Acts which explicitly references the tomb (and heavily implies its emptiness). That's a topical combination, one way or another, connecting the attributed author of GosMark with the empty tomb via Paul.
But with the previous points, which sure don't depend even slightly on Paul, I can be sure by historical inference the empty tomb was a fact, not a literary invention by anyone; and so far as I otherwise evaluate Acts to be accurate at talking about Paul, then I infer Paul knew about the empty tomb -- not only because he mentions it, but because as a persecutor familiar with the Jerusalem situation he would have naturally and necessarily heard about it, from Christian foe if not from Sanhedrin friend (but there is no reason why he wouldn't have heard about it from his Sanhedrin contacts and leaders authorizing him to hunt Christians) -- even if, as Acts portrays (at Stephen's martyrdom for example, which Paul is shown attending), the Christians didn't always talk about it themselves.
Next up: last and somewhat least, like one untimely born, limping along afterward...

Chapter IX (Part Eight) : Ena - Fiery Nightmares ☲
Heat rushed through Ena, a sudden wave of thrill that washed over her. Something grew inside her stomach, sensations mounting till they reached the peak. Ena couldn't make sense of anything that was happening inside of her - it was too fast. Just as she leaned forward to blow out the last candle, things started to fall apart.
The blue fire of the flame ignited in one second - an explosion that threw the three of them back against the wall. Ena's head slammed against the glass frame, shards of it entering the tender skin of her scalp as pain streaked through her head. She heard the screams of her parents, but her senses were a mere haze as a pounding grew larger in her head.
She opened her eyes slowly, squinting at the bright flames that danced in front of her. It consumed everything - the oil paintings were now glowing red, melting at the mercy of the fire.
Ena couldn't react - the migraine in her head pounding away as it feasted on her consciousness. Her eyes closed once more, a sharp jolt of a cut slicing through her head. She cried out, the fire roaring around her.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Racetrack and casino operator Penn National Gaming (PENN) said Friday it agreed to be taken private by a group organized by two investment companies for about $6.1 billion in cash.
Penn National shares surged.
The company, with net revenue of $2.2 billion in 2006, operates 18 gambling facilities stretching from Maine to New Mexico as well as Ontario, Canada.
Its properties include four Hollywood Casinos in Louisiana, Illinois and Mississippi; Argosy casinos in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Iowa; and the Boomtown Casino in Biloxi, Miss. It has racetracks, some with slots, in Maine, West Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Mexico.
Under the buyout proposal, Penn National shareholders will receive $67 in cash for each share, about a 31% premium over the company's closing price of $51.14 on Thursday.
The buyers led by Fortress Investment Group (FIG), a publicly traded asset management company, and private equity firm Centerbridge Partners LP will also repay $2.8 billion in Penn National's outstanding debt.
The buyout news boosted shares of other casino operators such as Pinnacle Entertainment (PNK), Isle of Capri Casinos (ISLE) and MGM Mirage (MGM).
MGM is considering a bid from its majority shareholder, a group controlled by Kirk Kerkorian, to buy two of its Las Vegas properties and possibly restructure the company.
The Penn National board is recommending that its shareholders take the deal announced Friday. The deal must also get clearance from government regulators.
The company has the right to solicit a better bid from other parties during the 45 days following the execution of the agreement.
"Penn National has a lot of value," said Lawrence Klatzkin, an analyst at Jefferies & Co. "It's asset-backed. It has strong predictable cash flow. It's in a regulated industry and has limited competition. It has very strong, solid cash flow streams."
Penn National's buyers are paying a premium, but they're getting a well-run company with management that's going to stick around, said Justin Sebastiano, an analyst with Nollenberger Capital Partners.
Key members of Penn National's management team, including Chairman and Chief Executive Peter Carlino, Chief Financial Officer William Clifford and Leonard DeAngelo, executive vice president of operations, are expected to stay with the company.
The deal brings owners "who share our vision and support our long-term strategy of growth," Carlino said in a statement.
The acquisition is expected to close in about 12 to 16 months.
If the deal isn't completed within a year, the purchase price can be increased by $0.0149 a share per day.

How to make a healthy hot dog
Scientists are closer than ever to creating a delicious hot dog that won't leave you feeling guilty. Most mouthwatering franks are made with pork fat, but researchers in Spain are constructing one using olive oil instead. By doing so, the calories drop by about 36%, healthy unsaturated fats are added in, and, best of all, the texture of the dog remains similar to those made with pork fat. The up-and-coming frankfurters are described in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Marco Antonio Barrera apologised for being unable to take an earlier call. He had been out running in a park near his mother's home in Mexico City, an ominous indication of how seriously he is taking next Saturday's fight with Amir Khan.
But now he was ready to talk and to assure us that when he arrives in the UK this morning he is not coming just for a payday. We knew that already, for Barrera has Mexican pride. When he steps into the ring against Khan at Manchester's MEN Arena he will, as his promoter Don King bellows, be in it to win it.
Whether he does depends upon how well Khan has assimilated the lessons learned from his KO defeat by Breidis Prescott and the expert tutelage of Freddie Roach in Hollywood's Wild Card gym.
Roach will have prepared him to be on his guard against the wiles of an opponent who knows all the tricks of the dark trade. It was Barrera who rammed Naseem Hamed's head into a ring post when Naz got uppity in a featherweight title fight in Las Vegas.
But eight years have passed and the little hard man once known as the Baby-Faced Assassin, whom I would put in my top 10 fighters of the past 50 years, surely has mislaid his competitive edge. We hope.
He warns: "What I did to Hamed I can do to Khan. That may have been eight years ago but while I have grown older [he is 35] I am also more experienced. I still have the hunger to win another world title [it would be his sixth in four weight divisions].
"I have seen something of Amir, he has very fast hands, like Hamed, and he has youth but he has never met anyone with the knowledge and skills that I have."
Barrera says the inch-long cut on his forehead which he received recently in the last of his 75 bouts has healed well. "It is no problem. They say Khan has a weak chin, but I will not be concentrating on that, I will give him other things to think about."
For Khan, 22, this will be a test of the heart as well as the chin. But the one thing that he doesn't lack is bottle. Give him a pair of stilts and he would fancy his chances against Vitali Klitschko.
On a bill that features WBO title bouts involving the cruiserweight Enzo Maccarinelli and super-featherweight Nicky Cook, the fight is officially a world title eliminator. Khan says: "I've spoken to Naz. He's given me a few tips and he's confident I can beat him. This is a brilliant opportunity for me. I can't wait to shut up a lot of people after all the crap that was flying around following the Prescott defeat.
"Barrera will try and push me around but I won't get involved in his game. I know every move he's going to make. My gameplan will be about patience. I won't be rushing hands down, chin up. You'll see a new Amir Khan."
Significantly, Khan has four inches in height and 13 years on Barrera, and at the lightweight limit he is likely to be too big and too fast for a seasoned scrapper who has known better days. But nobody should blink, least of all Amir himself.
Khan v Barrera will be shown on Sky Box Office on Saturday from 9pm. Call 08442 410 888

BVM Ventilation
Today I want to talk about proper ventilation with a Bag-Valve-Mask, aka the BVM. I am joined by my friend Reuben Strayer, MD of EM Updates. You'll see Reub's talk from this year's EMCrit ED Critical Care Conference and hear some of my thoughts as well.
After Reuben's lecture, I made a few points of my own:
- Anesthesiologists can't do one hand BVM as well as they think, at least according to this article: (Anesthesiology 2010; 113:873-9)
- How about the best article on how to manipulate the jaw for optimal BVMing
- Here is a link to an article where I discuss Vent as a Bag and here is the video as well.

Was Amenhotep II the Biblical Pharoah of the Exodus?
The dream of Thutmosis IV preserved on a stone slab strengthens the case.
Dr. David Livingston makes a rather interesting argument that Amenhotep II was the Pharoah of Egypt referenced by the Biblical accounts of the Exodus as the result of the inscription on a stone slab relating the dream of Thutmosis IV his son. In his on-line article "Between the Paws of the Sphinx", Dr. Livingston tells how the stone slab reports that "Thutmosis had been strenuously driving his chariot over the desert. After awhile, he lay down in the shadow of the Sphinx' head, all that was visible above the sand. While sleeping, the Sphinx came to him in a dream and assured the future Pharaoh that if he cleared the sands away, the Sphinx would, in turn, make Thutmosis the next ruler. Thutmosis did so and, sure enough, he became next Pharaoh!"
The existence of the story of this dream on the stone slab reveals a couple of interesting things. First, it shows that Thutmosis' right to the throne was apparently shaky. According to Dr. Livingston's article:
Thutmosis' right to the throne apparently was shaky. Why? For one thing, the study of ancient records shows that his mother was not the "Great Queen" of Amenhotep II. Rather, she was a lesser wife. Inscriptions written during Thutmosis' reign are few. From them scholars believe his short reign of 9 years was tenuous the whole time. Thus, he may have enlisted the priestly order of the Sphinx-cult to back him.
Second, and equally importantly, it shows that Thutmosis came to the throne not by the usual right of succession as the eldest son of the Pharoah. "William C Hayes, eminent Egyptologist says, 'This fanciful tale . . . suggests that Thutmosis IV was not his father's heir apparent, but had obtained the throne through an unforeseen turn of fate, such as the premature death of an elder brother' (italics omitted)(Cambridge Ancient History, fasc. 10; 1962: II.)."
Dr. Livingston goes on to make the case that the story on the stone slab strengthens the evidence that Amenhotep II, a strong builder king whose reign ended abruptly and without much explanation as to why, is a strong candidate for the Pharoah of the Exodus. It really is an interesting read if you are interested in this sort of history.

The Mystery of Godliness (2 of 2) by J. Gerald Harris
This content is part of a series.The Mystery of Godliness (2 of 2)
Dr. J. Gerald Harris
I Timothy 3:14-16
Our text answers a very important question for us. The question is: "How are we to behave as the children of God?" or "How can we live godly lives?" Surely we desire that. We do not want to live as unregenerate people. We do not want to go the way of this world. We do not want to have the stamp of the depraved, the deluded, and the degenerate upon our lives. That is not God's way.
In our text, Paul tell us that the secret is Jesus Christ. The mystery, the secret, the hidden truth of how to live a godly life is bound up in Jesus Christ. The indwelling Christ gives grace and power for godly living.
I Peter 1:3 says, "Jesus Christ, according to his divine power, hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness."
Someone has said, "His power is all that it takes to be godly, but it takes nothing less." It is the power of the indwelling Christ that enables us to be pure and good.
Our text speaks of the greatness of Christ. Six statements are made to declare His greatness. Last week we considered three of them. Before we focus upon the next three, let's take a moment to review. First of all, we discovered that
This speaks of the incarnation. Jesus was God wrapped up in a human form. Matthew 1:23 says, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us" -- that is, God manifested in the flesh.
Dr. James Montgomery Boyce is the pastor of the historic Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He has a book entitled "The Christ of Christmas." In this book he makes some marvelous statements about the birth of Jesus Christ, about the incarnation.
1. He says that Jesus underwent a human birth so that we who believe on Him might have a heavenly birth.
2. Jesus took His place in a manger in a stable so that we migh ...

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
The midterm elections this fall will supposedly be all about the "culture of corruption" in Washington, wherein noble-minded reformersmost of them Democrats, presumablywill rail against lobbyists who are perverting and distorting government. So far, though, lobbyists are just carrying on as usual. Public Citizen released a report today looking at donations by lobbyists and their PACsin 2006, lobbyist donations to members of Congress are on pace to be about 10 percent higher than they were in 2004 (totaling $34 million), which were in turn 90 percent higher than they were in 2000 (totaling $18 million).
Interestingly, Jack Abramoff is only the 30th-ranked lobbyist donor. And not surprisingly, most of the money goes to members of the Senate and House appropriations committees, which ultimately decides how federal money gets spent. Supposedly this is different from the actual bribery that took place when Duke Cunningham was sitting on the House appropriations committee, but the dividing line here seems pretty hazy.

Excellent. Nuff said.

This was unbelievably sweet.
Ryu is not a person I can imagine ever being the fatherly type but you painted him so well here. :)
of course there are some things in the story I'm not quite sure would happen. For example, the Mugen Tenshin (sp?) letting Kasumi, if they made amends with her, just stay out of the village. Because then she truly would be turning her back on her village even if she was friendly with them. If you had provided a bit more information there on how that had happened it would have been more believable.
Overall, fantastic job. :)

Apartment in Cala D'Or, South East Mallorca, Balearic Islands - Lovely Location For All Ages And 5 Minute Walk To Beaches
Our apartment is in a great position as it's on the ground floor and has view of the pool and access straight to the pool. The complex is in a gated community and there are only 32 apartments many are privately owned. The complex is well maintained . The apartment is very modern and bright it gets the sun from 10 O Clock through until 7.30 there are shady places to sun bath. we have a large terrace where you have your breakfast and diner with a seating area to chill out with a glass of wine or two :). There are many restaurants to choose from and plenty of things to do around the resort. The apartment sleeps three people in a king size bed and a bed settee in the lounge area.

About the Owner
About Pauline Farrell
My name is Pauline We own a apartment in cala D 'Or. We bought the property 4 years ago and have updated it to a lovely standard. We have had many lovely holidays here on the island. We intend to move over to Cala D ' Or in the near future.
Pauline Farrell purchased this apartment in 2011
Why Pauline Farrell chose Santanyi
We bought our apartment because of the lovely complex it's on. It's great location within five minutes walk to two lovely beaches and ten minutes walk to the centre of Cala D'Or with lots of great restaurants a short walk on you come to the marina with a fantastic choice of restaurants and bars.
What makes this apartment unique
The apartment is in a great position to get to local beaches and shops restaurants and the local bus service which take you to near by villages to explore.

4.7/5 -
(14 traveller reviews)
Cannot say enough about how fab this apartment is (shush! ... don't tell everyone!). The owners have thought of everything .... it was a real home from home (even had my kettle and toaster!). The pool wasn't overly busy at height of season. Apartment was immaculate, and grounds and pool area attended to daily. We know Cala D'Or well and have stayed in a few apartments around the area ... this apartment was the best we have stayed in. In a fab location for beach and town and restaurants. Lots going on around but you wouldn't know ... very serene around the pool area. Would love to stay again.
Fantastic Apartment
What a lovely apartment, everything you need and more. Good size pool to cool off in and an area just in front of the patio you can sunbathe that nobody else bothers with. Hopefully will book again next year and have recommended it to a family we met whilst out there. Thanks Pauline.
Wow! What a gorgeous apartment
The apartment was beautiful! The pictures of the pool do not do it justice ... AT ALL! I really don't like apartments that feel cold and unwelcoming, as a lot of hotel rooms abroad seem to; this certainly did not. It was so homely, I loved that it felt like you were staying with a relative. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed to make our lunches. What can I say about the lovely little terrace outside? Wow, just wow! From the beautiful L-shaped couch to the wonderful round table for long lunches, it was all stunning. We could watch our daughter in the pool from the terrace which was perfect as she wanted to eat her lunch in minutes and get back out to play with her new found best friends. Everybody was friendly, including the other homeowners and holiday makers of which there was a mix. The supermarket, some bars/restaurants, a spar and the beach were all literally a 5 minute walk and the centre of Cala d'or where the main restaurants were was probably more like 10. We got a taxi to the marina for a meal one evening, and were shocked it only took 5 mins (in hindsight we could have walked). If you have children, we were told the complex is generally more busy with families July/August if you would like to go somewhere where they may be able to play with other children. The whole complex is extremely safe as all the gates are locked, which is great for when children are playing. In front of the private terrace is a small area of raised grassy land which was perfect as it fit our two sun lounger's perfectly and we never had to move to find space around the pool as we had our own bit that nobody else tended to try and sit on. Thank you Pauline for an amazing family holiday! If you're thinking of booking this apartment, do!
Fantastic appartment in Cala D,or
We loved everything about this apartment from the ease of booking with Pauline to finding a lovely place in the sun for our weeks break in July.
The apartment had everything we needed nicely furnished, the air con in bedroom was great, we did not use air con in lounge as the outside terrace was great for both breakfast and evening drinks overlooking the pool. All the gardens are well kept to spend the days lounging in the sun.
The location is great within walking distance to beech, town, port, bars and restaurants, with no need for a car even though there is parking at the apartment.
Bus stop to other places within 150 yards as are local supermarkets.
we would recommend to other couples if they wanted to see Cala D,or
An excellent week
We had an excellent week in Pauline's apartment. Pool really great, the loungers and terrace facilities are very good and the garden is beautiful. Easy walking distance to Cala Gran Beach and to the huge choice of Tapas bars and restaurants. My only comment would be a preference to have cotton bedlinen during the summer months
Lovely Apartment
Lovely well presented apartment in a great location convenient for all that Cala d'Or has to offer. The nice quality contemporary fittings and furniture give the place a real home from home feel. The residency is a small private complex and at the end of May was quiet as it looks like many of the apartments are not let out and are only used by owners when holidaying. Most days we were the only ones by the pool. If however you fancy a livelier interlude you could always just pop next door to the Prinsotel for a drink or some evening light entertainment (don't worry it doesn't run to late or cause any noise).
The owner Pauline was very helpful and communicative with the arrangements and recommendations. Highly recommended.
From the Owner
"We bought our apartment because of the lovely complex it's on. It's great location within five minutes walk to two lovely beaches and ten minutes walk to the centre of Cala D'Or with lots of great restaurants a short walk on you come to the marina with a fantastic choice of restaurants and bars."
Activity and Interests
Within 5 minute walk to the two beautiful beaches. Plus in walking distance a further two beaches and the lovely Marina. Lots of bars and restaurants to choose from you are spoilt for choice.
The nearest airport is Palma. Travelling by taxi is around 45 minutes if you book the the shuttle Hopper can take a little longer up to an hr but this is a good service.
The nearest town is Cala D'Or within 10 minute walk and another 10 minutes on you come to the marina with lovely restaurants bars and the stunning boats.
Further Details:
In the town are plenty of banks and cash machines. A excellent choice of restaurants . A good selection of small super markets. There is a very good supermarket near the apartment called Cala D ' Or fruits which sell fresh veg a meat and fish counter and a bakery all you need.

'Butterflies In My Stomach' Glasses
on 10/10/2011
Director of Undergrowth design, Tina Tsang exhibited her new collection 'Butterflies in my stomach' glasses at Maison et Object 2011. The drinking vessels have a center piece containing a cluster of butterflies and words. The images are magnified when the contents are added, making it easier to see and understand the
hidden messages inside. There are a variety of forms, each for a different beverage
including wine and cognac, each containing a different note to be discovered. All the components are handmade by the british designer herself.
Woven Chairs

Benjamin Hubert, a british industrial designer, created coracle and cargo for London based furniture manufacturer 'De La Espada'. The project called for the use of artisan craftsman, meaning each piece has the unique quality only handmade object can deliver. The timber joinery detailing and hand-stitching are details which further generate the industrial aesthetic. The woven construction seen on the chair is the same pattern as that found on the vessel. The tri weave is enhanced with the same perforated leather wrapped around the steel frame, making the chair more tactile and comfortable.

Here, the full size images at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced for bandwidth purposes to let you see the full image, and a series of crops taken from original full resolution images at a range of ISO settings have been included in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality.
This is the full frame at 64 ISO.
At the minimum ISO setting the image is clean and sharp.
There is very little difference at 100 ISO.
At 200 ISO there is some colour distortion in the darker areas.
Some visible noise at 400 ISO, but the overall quality is still pretty good.
The noise is very visible at 800 ISO, but it would still look OK on a small print.
Image quality is greatly reduced at 1600 ISO, with severe noise and degraded colour.
Image quality is worse still at the maximum 2000 ISO.
This is the full frame at 2000 ISO.
This camera has endured itself to me through it's simplicity and thoughtful design. It does not have every knob but what it does have are the most essential and useful features organized into very logical menus and the shooting mode dial. The body is made up of solid polycarbonate material that typically finds it way into high end bike levers made by Shimano. Except of the lack of granularity (full stop adjustments) in the manual mode, I give it 5/5 stars.

'American Hustle,' 'Wolf of Wall Street' lead MTV Movie Awards nods
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Crime caper "American Hustle" and financial greed tale "The Wolf of Wall Street" each landed eight nominations for the MTV Movie Awards on Thursday, edging out dystopian saga "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and comedy "We're the Millers."
"Hustle" and "Wolf," which each went home from Sunday's Oscars empty handed, will have a shot at redemption at the unbuttoned MTV event that hands out golden, popcorn-shaped trophies in categories like best kiss and best fight scene.
The fan-voted awards will be hosted by comedian Conan O'Brien at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles on April 13 and televised on MTV, a unit of Viacom Inc.
"American Hustle" stars Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, who each picked up nominations in top acting categories while Adams and Christian Bale picked up a nod for best on-screen duo in the film.
Oscar best picture winner "12 Years a Slave" earned four nominations, while outer space thriller "Gravity" scored a single nod for Sandra Bullock as best actress, after winning seven Academy Awards, the most this year.
Nominees for best movie, the only category in which voting will continue during the broadcast, include "12 Years a Slave," "American Hustle," fantasy film "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, who both won Oscars for their performances in AIDS drama "Dallas Buyers Club," earned nominations together for best on-screen duo and separately for best on-screen transformation.
The annual awards, which honor hit movies that might have been overlooked by the Oscars and Golden Globes, serve as a lead-in to the summer movie season and will include preview clips from would-be summertime Hollywood blockbusters.
This year's odd-ball categories include best shirtless performance, best "#WTF moment," and best cameo performance. Continued...

Day 5a - Border Crossing Poland to Ukraine
Our fist night on a sleeper train ended up being a tad more eventful than it had first seemed. At midnight, we experienced our first proper border crossing and the first change of gauge for the train. As we were leaving Poland, the conductor started shouting something in either Ukrainian or Russian (they seem to be almost interchangeable in Kiev) and the train stopped at a small station. Then about 4-5 guys dressed in military type ...

Every inch of the dining room was covered in epic farming scenes and portraits of kings and queens sternly giving you the stink eye.

Forex Technical Update USD/CAD Eyes 1.02 if Support Breaks
Forex Technical Update July 26, 2010 USD/CAD Eyes 1.02 if Support Breaks
- Daily and 1H: In an update last week on the USD/CAD, I mentioned that the currency pair was ready to break below the congestion pattern, after completing 5 waves.
- We can still have waves 6 and 7 if the support holds. However, if the support fails, the near-term target is just below 1.02, then the parity level.
- The support in the 1H chart has already broken, and the RSI is attempting to break below 40. There is also a moving average crossover.
- These may already be signs that the market is heading towards the near-term target below 1.02.

The Abandoned Church (1 of 13) by Ernest Easley
This content is part of a series.The Abandoned Church (1 of 13)
Series: Touring the Churches
Revelation 2:1-7
Ernest L. Easley
For the last 28 years in December, the Marietta Visitors Bureau and Cobb Landmark and Historical Society have worked together to organize ''The Marietta Pilgrimage, A Christmas Home Tour.''
This tour showcases six private homes in the historic district around the square that are decorated for the season. You can walk through each home and take in the sights and at the same time, pick up a few ideas for decorating your home.
Well, beginning today and over the next several weeks, I want to lead you on another pilgrimage. Rather than ''The Marietta Pilgrimage,'' let's just call it ''The Members Pilgrimage.'' And rather than ''A Christmas Home Tour,'' let's just call it, ''A Christian Church Tour.''
So when you put all that together, you have …
''The Members Pilgrimage, A Christian Church Tour.''
And like most tours, we have a guide to follow and that guide is found in Revelation chapters two and three. So take God's Word and turn with me to the last book of the Bible: the book of Revelation.
Now let me tell you why I'm excited about touring these churches: Revelation 1.3, ''Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.
In fact, the book of Revelation is the only book in the Bible that God promises a blessing when we read it, when we hear it and when we ''keep those things which are written in it.''
Now since we're already in chapter 1, look down to verses 10-11, ''I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,' and, 'What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.''
These are the seven churches that will make up our ...

UPDATE 2-China's reforms not enough to arrest mounting debt - Moody's
* China facing dilemma of deleveraging without hurting growth
* S&P 500 hit record intraday high, Dow flirts with 17,000 * Data show U.S., Chinese factory growth; euro zone data weak * French banks help European stocks start H2 robustly * Benchmark U.S. bond yields rise from recent lows * Dollar edge up above 7-week low on forecasts of dovish Fed (Updates market action, add new analyst quote) By Richard Leong NEW YORK, July 1 Stock markets around the world rallied at the start of the second half of 2014 on Tuesday, propelled by solid U.S. and Chinese economic data and the notion that central banks will keep interest rates low for some time. The Standard & Poor's 500 index hit an intraday record high at 1,978.58 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial average came within two points of the 17,000 milestone. Encouraging U.S. and Chinese factory figures pointed to stabilization in the world's two biggest economies, while weaker data on euro zone manufacturing and inflation supported the view the European Central Bank might lower interest rates to help the region's businesses and avert deflation. "It seems things are clicking," said Jonathan Golub, chief U.S. market strategist at RBC Capital Markets in New York. There was relief among euro zone banks after France's largest, BNP Paribas, on Monday pleaded guilty and agreed to pay almost $9 billion for violating U.S. sanctions against Sudan and other countries. The Dow and S&P 500 ended at record closing highs, with the Dow closing up 129.25 points or 0.77 percent at 16,955.85, and the S&P 500 finishing 13.06 points or 0.67 percent higher at 1,973.29. The Nasdaq Composite ended up 50.473 points or 1.14 percent at 4,458.651. Top European shares ended up 0.85 percent, while Japan's Nikkei closed up 1.1 percent. The MSCI world equity index, which tracks shares in 45 nations, hit a record high of 431.98 before scaling back at bit in late trading at 431.37, up 0.6 percent. HOME ON THE RANGE While Wall Street stocks posted another quarter of gains as of Monday, the dollar and U.S. government bond yields have been rangebound as the U.S. Federal Reserve has shown no sign it will raise interest rates anytime soon. Benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasuries yields, a gauge for the U.S. dollar and global borrowing costs, traded at 2.57 percent , up 5 basis points from Monday, which was still at the low end of this year's trading range. One big market bet for the first half was for a rise in the dollar on the view the Fed is inching towards its first post-crisis rate hike, but this predictions has fallen flat. The dollar index fell to a seven-week low of 79.759 on Monday and was a tad above that at 79.814 on Tuesday. Gold held steady at $1,328 an ounce as fighting in Iraq and Ukraine fed safe-haven demand for the metal, keeping it at a 2-1/2-month high. Brent crude finished down 7 cents or 0.06 percent at $112.29 a barrel. U.S. crude settled down 3 cents or 0.03 percent at $105.34 per barrel.

text: I will be booking two, connecting rooms at the All Stars, and will request that one room have a king bed, and the other two doubles. If we book, say, Music, and they have no more king/double connecting, (or worse, no connecting!) can they look at the room inventory for at Sports and Movies to see if they can honor it over there? (I know it's just a request, but I'm hoping the odds would be better between the three resorts.) We've been to POP, got the King/Double combo over there (and liked it), but I wanted a change this time, (still need the value though). I don't care much which All Star we get, but the room/bed configuration matters a great deal to my DH. Any advice/experience would be appreciated! TIA!!!

As I was checking ticket prices for flights back to the UK this summer, I happened to use the websites of several airlines. The variety in terms of design and the quality of that design was noticeable.
I'm always interested in the different approaches that web design teams take when creating websites within an industry that share many common characteristics, so I thought I would look a little wider at airline websites from around the world and see which ones appealed to me the most from a visual standpoint.

From the info we got from both our city guide and Martina it seems like it's all happening a bit fast for them and has provided the opportunity for a lot of mafia, crime and corruption. They've become a sort of clearing house for drugs from the east to the west - apparently 50 per cent ...

I covered myths #1 and #2 so it's time to start getting into the things I learned while working in Sammamish. Learning #1 is that I never saw so many people depend on IM. Everyone was running Microsoft Office Communicator and they used it.
It's was a great way to ask for help from a co-worker on a case when you are on the phone with the customer. It was also used as a primary means of communicaiton with the support folks in different parts of the country or world.
In the product groups there's a mix. There are people you can find on IM and then there are people who just aren't on the corperate IM train.
On a related note… I only have one freind left using AIM. Everyone else I know now is on Messenger. I remember feeling guilty when I started at Microsfot for running it, but it was what all my freinds from college where on. Now I only have one freind left to switch before I can delete the bloated adware AIM client off of my machine for good.
