Heartbreaking tales all week of people trapped in their hotel swimming pools for up to five days.
They say you could hear the wailing in the Givenchy Spa at Le Saint Geran, Mauritius, from as far away as the beach at Sandy Lane where word had got out – good that something had got out – that supplies of iced strawberries were running dangerously low. I can no longer watch the news on television, so heartbreaking are the scenes of couples reuniting who have not seen each other for 72 hours.
Yesterday, at the bar of the Groucho Club, I was embraced tearfully by an old friend I'd last talked to at the bar of the Groucho Club the week before.
"I'm back", he told me.
I told him I didn't know he'd been away.
"Christ, man", he said, "the word 'away' doesn't get it."
I wondered what word got it.
He told me what has happened. He'd been in Torremolinos with his family. When he said "family" his eyes welled up. Had I not known his family I'd have pictured a tottering mother on a Zimmer frame, a wife already made weak by bulimia nervosa, and genius but fragile twins desperate to get back to a Mensa interview in London.
In fact his mother runs a major charity single-handed, his wife has completed six marathons this year, and his two boys had joined him after making their third successful assault on Everest without breathing equipment.
He'd been in Torremolinos with them, anyway, paragliding, when he heard that no planes were leaving Malaga for Britain. He rang up Willie Walsh who is a personal friend, but Willie said there was nothing he could do, the effing Icelandic volcano having grounded BA more effectively than all the effing cabin stewards in effing Christendom.
I'm not saying this is how Willie Walsh actually speaks, only that this was how my friend reported him.
The barman at the Groucho asked us to tone down the swearing as other members of the club were offended by it. "Christ", my friend said: "do you know where I've been for the last four days?"
The barman shook his head, but when he heard Torremolinos he apologised. "Swear away", he said.
Unable to fly out of Malaga, my friend had shepherded his little family into a hire car for which the shysters were charging a thousand Euros a day. For a Smart!
"Christ!" I said.
He put a hand over my mouth. "You haven't heard the worst of it yet", he said. "We were told there were ferries leaving from Algeciras to Tangiers, from where we could get a trawler to Lisbon, where a cargo ship was said to be leaving for La Coruna from which local fishermen were rowing stranded passengers to Roscoff from where light aircraft which could fly below the ash cloud were taking people to Cork. . ."
"So what happened when you got to Cork?" I asked.
"Cork! Who said we got to Cork? The car broke down five kilometres outside Malaga. Do you know much it cost to get towed back to Torremolinos?" I guessed a thousand Euros an hour.
And back in Torremolinos? I expected him to say they wind-surfed to Ibiza where they caught a pirate ship to Monaco where they hijacked a train heading for Luxembourg before terrorists attacked it in the Massif Centrale and kidnapped his mother. But only the wind-surfing was right. Back in Torremolinos they had to go back to their villa and resume their effing holiday.
"Christ!" the barman said.
So I told them my story. Setting sail from Troy, I ran into a fierce north-easterly which carried me across the Aegean sea to Libya where I'd heard there was a travel company called "Lotos" which, while it couldn't guarantee to get you out, made you very comfortable in the time you were there.
Having a column to write in London, I went in search of other Englishmen as anxious to escape as I was, only to encounter a one-eyed giant called Polyphemus – I know, I know, but that's foreign travel for you: you never know who you're going to run into – whom I had in the end to blind to get away from.
What happened next, to keep it brief, was that I managed to locate a tramp steamer headed for the Island of Dawn where I met the enchanting Circe with whom I am ashamed to admit I had a bit of a fling. Aware I could not afford to stay – her rates were a thousand Euros a minute without kissing, and that was if she liked you – she pointed me in the direction of home, warning me to watch out for the Sirens, a sort of Girls Aloud of the Ionian Sea, though thankfully I was no more into their music than David Cameron, whatever he says to the contrary, is into Take That.
Anyway, anyway, we all have our troubles, and mine finally ended when I arrived home, a little worse for wear, after 10 years of being away, and was able to massacre my wife's suitors.
Ten years, mark! 10 years, not five days. What's happened to our idea of what constitutes an arduous journey?
Don't mistake me. We make light of no one's travails in this column. Hell is other countries, airports are vile places, and I don't doubt that many a stranded passenger had pressing reasons to be back. But if you want to experience a real Odyssean travel nightmare try getting from Soho to Swiss Cottage. The horror of the London Underground has been well-documented – if you're not blown apart by Jihadists, or pushed on to the rails by homicidal maniacs on day release, or trampled by bored French schoolkids, you suffocate – and the overground is worse.
Despite Boris Johnson's promise to bring back buses fit for humans to travel on, they remain the Legoland suspensionless boneshakers they were, with nowhere to sit unless you go upstairs and you can only get upstairs if you're a gymnast. London roads are now an obstacle course: if you can find a road that isn't closed for the installation of new water pipes or Crossrail, you can be sure it will be potholed, or made impassable by bumps they have the effrontery to call calm traffic calmers.
What's calming about driving over hummocks? What's calming about breaking your spine? Has anyone met a calm London cabbie? London at this minute is in the grip of a road-induced collective nervous breakdown, and yet people are being winched aboard Royal Navy Chinooks in order to get back.
Explain that to me, someone.

Be original and say "no" to monotonous walls in the office!
I thought that I have already known nearly all about different types of office space. I have worked in many offices. Some of them were situated in vast apartments. Often the office was just a standard open space. I worked also in a tiny, dark room which was called an office. Some of them didn't have a corridor, others didn't even have separate toilet (it was a separate room on the staircase and shared with other office). Nonetheless, I have worked also in extremely chic office, where every single thing was carefully planned by expensive architect. All of those offices were totally different.

Lincoln's Inn-based Edwin Coe has taken on three non-equity partners to bring its other practice areas up to the strength of its traditional areas of insolvency and litigation.
Former Davies Arnold Cooper partner Carolyn West and former Reed Smith associate Thom Wilkinson have both joined Edwin Coe's property department as partners.
Simeon Gilchrist has been hired to further strengthen the insolvency practice Edwin Coe from Druces and Attlee.
Further to the above appointments, Edwin Coe's senior partner and senior litigation and dispute resolution and contentious insolvency partner Christopher Berry said that, unlike the rest of the market, the firm was going to expand on the private client side and "looking at fairly senior level appointments there".
Berry says the first quarter results are on track for meeting the turnover target of £13m for the year – up £1m on last year.

New Delhi, Sept. 20 : Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said the rollback of Land Acquisition Ordinance by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is a victory for the members of the farming community.
Addressing the 'Kisan Samman Rally' at Ramlila Ground here, Gandhi reminded the people that Prime Minister Modi had during the campaigning for the 2014 Lok Sabha promised the electorates that he would end the Land Bill after coming to power at the Centre.
"He brought the Land Ordinance thrice and in the end he expressed his "Maan ki Baat'. He said few days back that the Ordinance will lapse and he will not end the Congress' Land Bill. This is no doubt the victory of Congress Party but before that it's a win for the farmers," he said.
Gandhi reiterated that Prime Minister Modi is snatching a farmer's mother in the form of his land.
"A farmer has two mothers-his own mother and his land. Modi is snatching farmer's mother. This is not the fight of the land of the farmers, this is the fight for honour and respect of the farmers," he said. (ANI)

Brian Cushing had a great career at USC. He was so good that his freshman year he was the starting linebacker in the Rose Bowl game against Texas. Some still call it one of the greatest games ever.
But there's been a cloud of suspicion hanging over his head for years and just last week the NFL announced Cushing had tested positive for HCG, a substance experts say is used by athletes who are usually trying to avoid a positive drug test. Speaking for the first time on the subject, Cushing made a complete denial.
"I want to make it known that I did not inject or ingest any illegal substances that would enhance my performance."
Cushing won't be allowed to play the first four games of next year. Some say the NFL needs a tougher policy. But unlike baseball where fans are more sensitive about records being broken by so-called cheaters, football fans don't seem to mind as much. So whether you believe him or not, once Cushing serves his suspension, you probably won't hear much about it again.
"The substance was HCG. The question of how it got into my body is unclear. It's something I'm very personally concerned about, how it's there and what's going to keep it from happening again and that something we'll have to medically investigate."
Cushing's teammate DeMico Ryans says he and the rest of the team support him 100 percent.
"DeMico do you believe him? Do you believe that he didn't take anything illegal?"
"Oh yeah, I believe him. Cushing is a hard working guy. There's nobody that works as hard as Cush and as competitive as he is. I don't think that he would cheat the game the way people are calling him a cheater. I don't think that Cush is that type of person."
If you ask the average Texan's fan what they think, many don't believe Cushing's story, but don't really care. They just want him back on the field. Jose Collazo doesn't believe the story and he's not a Texans fan.
"How you don't know how something got in your body, you put it in your mouth. What somebody fed you in your sleep? This is a professional football player. He has people around him that know exactly what's going in his body. This ain't no kid playing high school or college. There's no excuse for it Brian Cushing. Why don't you just come out and admit, say I didn't and I'll respect you, but don't lie to my face."
Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemmons, Mark McGwire, Alex Rodriquez…the list seems to go on and on these days. Some tested positive and others were simply accused of taking steroids, but they all initially denied it. Jones and McGwire later admitted it. Whether Brian Cushing ever changes his story remains to be seen.

wikiHow to Make Hard Corn Taco Shells
You don't need to go to the store to buy hard taco shells. Tacos taste a lot better when the shells are made from home. This article will teach you how to make hard taco shells with corn.
- Vegetable, canola or corn oil
- Corn tortillas
1Fill a skillet with one inch of oil, then let it warm for 10-15 minutes. Once the oil has warmed, add a corn tortilla to it.
2After one second has passed, remove half of the tortilla from the oil with tongs or a fork.
3Fold the tortilla in half so it looks like a taco. Allow one half of it to heat until crispy.
4Carefully remove the cooked taco from the oil, then put the half that hasn't been cooked back into the oil. Leave it open (about 1 in.) so you can add toppings when you're ready to build your taco.
5Once both sides have cooked thoroughly, transfer them to paper towels to drain. Once these sides have drained, warm an oven to place the tortillas in until you want to make your taco.
6Add the toppings of your choice to make your taco. Serve!

The Northern Mountains
A mostly icy region, the Northern Mountains is the most sparsely inhabited area in Anamae. Grasslands lie on opposite sides of the mountain range, a corner of the north a field of geysers. Springs, both hot and cold, run through the mountains, delivering water sources to the inhabitants, and also to the residents of the Forestlands.
The Northern Mountains neighbours with the land of Jotunheimr, the land of the sleepy and irritable Frost Giants, who often cause blizzards that sweep through the mountains in quick but violent bursts. As well as the weather, the mountains can reach very high altitudes, making most uninhabitable, though the various valleys between ranges and icy woods are occupied. Villages are known to be snowed in for up to a month because of avalanches and snowstorms. Because of these conditions, those in the Northern Mountains are often segregated from outside forces, the postal service, the Brownie Information Bureau, is notably slow, as it can take weeks for hobs to traverse the conditions.
In the south of the region, between the mountains and the grasslands are the Red Mountains of Alkair, a strange phenomenon, made of a rare stone that is coveted by traders in the West. The mountains also shadow the Mellicit estate to which the descendants were exiled after abdicating to the Elemental Court.
The Northern Mountains are also affected by the war between the Thirteen Isles of the Halknor Crescent and Rhurak. Although the Thirteen Isles remain a sovereign kingdom, they are protected by the likes of nearby Anamae, who have helped them to defend against Rhurak, and even offer them refuge in coastal Algora.
In The Element Adventures, the village of Bootabin is featured as the home of the Wilthric family, a mainly human location. The location of a Northern Sanctuary is also mentioned, one which belonged to the Tetractys and burnt down after the betrayal of Sapphire Salimandra. It is thought to lie north of the mountain range at the edge, near Jotunheim.
The mountains are also thought to be the most likely location of the secret land that the gods and goddesses are thought to have resided in at the beginning of creation. Here, in Veritatem legend, Luthorn was born after being raised by his sisters, and it is where the Ten were thought to have sacrificed themselves on the altar of Aiteros. It is also believed to be the location of the Grand Arch, the portal to Midgard which was created at the surge of power caused by the gods' death, and controls all other Arches across Maegard. Many adventurers have attempted to find this place, but none have been able to locate the entrance. It is now commonly believed that the Elementals are the only ones able to find the entrance, though a royal quest of this nature has never been conducted.

"Energy Barometer" by 5280 The Denver Magazine
Article from 5280 website: http://www.5280.com/magazine/2013/12/energy-barometer
Energy Barometer
Colorado-made sports drinks and snacks are superpopular. But are they right for you?
Papaya passion fruit. Lemon cookie. Mountain grape. Combining the allure of the candy aisle with the promise to keep athletes hydrated and energized, the crop of Colorado performance foods and beverages could tempt even the casual mall-walker. But are these products really necessary?
"Most people exercising for under an hour don't need anything other than water," says Bonnie Jortberg, a dietician and assistant professor at the University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Campus. She advises sipping at least four ounces of water for every 10 to 15 minutes of activity—but if a workout lasts longer than 60 minutes, or if the intensity is too high to hold a conversation, then water alone may not cut it, she says.
To replace fuel and electrolytes lost during intense exercise, Jortberg recommends ingesting 60 to 100 calories (typically from quick-burning carbs like sugar) per eight ounces of fluid, and 500 to 700 milligrams of sodium (a primary electrolyte) per liter of liquid. Post workout, a high-protein snack can boost recovery, she says. But whether you're training for a marathon or hiking a fourteener, what works best often depends on the person. "You really need to experiment and see how you feel," Jortberg says. To assist your at-home research, we break down some of the best local offerings.
'Elevation elixir gaining acclaim' Gunnison Country Times
by Chris Rourke
Mountain Magazine: Summer 2013
When you train in the mountains you are facing a dual challenge: training plus elevation. Training and competing at elevation means doing so with less oxygen, under more intense sunlight, in a drier climate. The mountains themselves challenge athletes and push them to the limits of their potential.
Acli-Mate Mountain Sport Drink takes elevation out of the equation, helping athletes adapt to the heights, so the mountains are transformed to molehills – and training at elevation is as easy as at sea level. Acli-Mate Mountain Sport Drink is the ONLY Sport Drink designed to help you acclimatize to high altitude. Athletes coming to elevation often suffer from shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, and disorientation. Wonder why the Broncos do so well at mile high? Home field advantage means a lot more when the visitors can't breathe! Acli-Mate Mountain Sport Drink is an all-natural Sport Drink containing balanced electrolytes for complete hydration, B vitamins and CoQ10 for energy, minerals for muscle support, and the adaptogenic herbs Rhodiola, Schizandra, and Ginkgo for altitude acclimatization. Acli-Mate is the creation of Dr. Roanne Houck, a Naturopathic Doctor from Gunnison, Colorado who is tackling the problem of altitude sickness (which costs the Colorado ski industry upwards of 200 million dollars a year) head-on.
Acli-Mate Mountain Sport Drink is the only sport drink designed specifically for high altitude environments. It is the solution to slope sickness for skiiers. It gives athletes coming to compete at elevation an edge – or rather takes the edge away from athletes who are accustomed to altitude – effectively leveling the playing field by making the mountains into molehills.

Living at Altitude: The pros and cons of a high-altitude lifestyle
Article from the Gunnison Country Times 'Healthy Living' issue. Winter 2012
Written by Laura Anderson
Living at high altitude has its advantages — namely beautiful scenery, majestic mountains, clean air and inspiring recreation opportunities. But the thin air (with less oxygen) and decreased atmospheric pressure can also be tough on your system, particularly if you're not used to it. So why do we put ourselves through the abuse? No matter what your age or fitness level, if you're not used to the 7,703 feet of elevation in Gunnison, you could be susceptible to altitude sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness.
Dr. Roanne Houck, naturopathic doctor and creator of Acli-Mate, a natural mountain sports drink designed specifically to help low-landers acclimate to elevation, described the warning signs of Acute Mountain Sickness, which often exhibits symptoms similar to the flu.
"Altitude sickness is not totally understood, but symptoms include fatigue, nausea, headaches, vomiting, dizziness, insomnia, water retention and high blood pressure," she explained. "Generally, when people get here they think they're getting sick." And for visitors who don't know better, that could mean an end to their vacation — and a decrease in the tourism revenues that mountain communities depend on. That's actually how Houck got the idea for Acli-Mate.
"I read an article in a Denver newspaper that reported $289 million (in tourism revenue) is lost in Colorado due to altitude symptoms," she pointed out. "If someone gets sick and the family leaves, then they might not come back. So I started researching what was on the market, which was not much."
For low landers, it can take anywhere from two weeks to three months to begin to feel comfortable performing any kind of rigorous exercise at altitude. But according to Sarah Baysden, director of Western State Colorado University's High Altitude Performance Laboratory (also known as the HAPLab) it can take two years for an athlete to perform as well at altitude as they did at sea level.
"It takes almost two years for you to feel similar (at altitude) to the way you feel at sea level and at least three months before you can start to feel comfortable doing high intensity things," she said.
She also pointed out that athletes recruited to WSCU, particularly runners, often sit out from competition their first year "so they have a full year to adjust before they compete."
"I think with athletes, getting them here and getting them mentally prepared for what they're going to feel like is key," she said. Baysden commented that that's also why training regimens — particularly rest days — are even more crucial at altitude.
"When you constantly live at altitude, your body never gets to that same oxygen flux and recovery for your muscle tissues because you're at constant hypoxia," she explained. "If you never give your body a break, you're not going to recover. It's a lot easier for tissue to repair, to reoxygenate red blood cells and get full rested recovery (at sea level than at altitude). This is why it's even more important to pay attention to training schedules, because you're body is never as comfortable as it is at sea level."
But despite that, the body does adapt to the stress.
The U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs has been at the forefront of acclimatization studies. One such study, released in the fall of 2010, followed freshmen for a year and compared those who came from "moderate" altitude, or about 5,000 feet, to those who came from sea level. That study concluded that students from moderate altitude had higher concentrations of hematocrits, hemoglobin and iron than those who had moved to altitude from sea level — even after a year of training. Participants from sea level also recorded slower times in 1.5-mile runs and lower composite physical fitness test scores.
Low landers generally aren't affected by altitude until they reach 4,500 to 5,000 feet. But after that, the affects of altitude are compounded about every 1,000 feet — so the affects of going from 6,000 feet to 7000 feet can feel the same as jumping from sea level to 4,500 feet.
According to Baysden, athletes often come to altitude to train because decreased oxygen forces the body to produce more hematocrits to aid in oxygen fixation — basically, a natural form of blood-doping — which will give them more stamina at sea level.
If you're new to the altitude, Baysden recommends starting your training regimen slowly and allowing plenty of time for your body to rest. If you work out regularly at sea level, she said to step back your training to the level you were at two to three months ago in order to not overload your system.
Houck and Baysden agree that the best way to combat altitude sickness is staying hydrated. According to Houck, the rule of thumb is to consume half your body weight in ounces of hydrating fluids every day.
In 2002 Houck began designing and testing her own formula for a sports drink to aid acclimatization, and in 2009 Acli-Mate was launched into the mainstream marketplace. "My approach to acclimatization is to look at it differently — how to support the body's ability to adapt to stress. It doesn't matter what the stress is — work, under sleep, over-training or altitude," she said.
"Acli-Mate works so well just on the idea of supporting hydration … and pathways that help the body adapt to stress." It contains electrolytes for hydration, Vitamin C for adrenal support plus B-vitamins and CoQ10 to aid energy production, as well as calcium and magnesium to help with cramping, heart palpitations and headaches.
Houck also recommends plenty of sleep — seven to eight hours per night for men, and eight to nine hours for women — as well as limiting consumption of caffeine, alcohol and junk foods.
Houck pointed out that populations living at altitude are generally "healthier" and "hardier" than those at sea level, though it likely has to do with more than altitude alone. It's possible that because towns are generally smaller, "you walk or bike and are more active in daily life," she posed.
It may also be a matter of survival of the fittest — often health conditions drive people to lower elevations where oxygen levels are higher, and living is easier.
But for those of us who choose to stay at altitude, is there an advantage? Baysden said the benefits are often mental as much as physiological.
"According to a lot of athletes that I've talked to, when they're dealing with training here, it makes them mentally tough because it's always hard — even easy days are hard," she said. "But that gives them a competitive edge because they've got this mental edge from competing at high altitudes."
And that statement is backed by statistics. According to a 2011 Colorado Springs Gazette article — "Air Force study: Altitude acclimatization takes longer" — research has shown that since 1968, 95 percent of medalists in the Olympics or world championships in events longer than 800 meters "have been exposed to altitude."
So next time you're hiking a peak or riding singletrack or running a hill — huffing and puffing along the way — think of how much tougher you're becoming. Take a breath of that thin, cool air and savor its freshness. Look around and absorb the beautiful scenery, and you might start thinking, "I could get used to this."

Washington Trails Association: Recognizes Acli-Mate® as an Editor's Choice product
Acli-Mate® was recognized as an Editors Choice in the September – October 2012 issue of the Washington Trails Magazine which is a publication of Washington Trails Association.
Here is a copy of what editor, Eli Boschetto had to say about Acli-Mate®:
Breathe Easy
Two summers ago, I set out to hike the entire 220-mile length of the John Muir Trail in California's Sierra Nevada. This trail had been at the top of my life-list, and I had been preparing for years. Three weeks and 134 miles into my trip, I bonked hard.
What happened? The first thing to go was my appetite. Even though I had packed all of my favorite foods, eating was an unpleasant chore. Next came the sleepless nights, tossing and turning in my bag, despite my exhaustion from hiking long days over 11K and 12K passes, only to get an hour or two of shuteye each night. In the last few weary days, the nausea struck.
When I arrived at my last resupply station, I was completely bedraggled and deflated. The station attendant immediately recognized altitude sickness. She gave me lots of electrolyte drink and encouraged me to get rehydrated and try to eat. I spent an extra day working on mending myself, knowing that the bigger, higher passes were still to come. After no noticeable improvement the next day, I decided not to risk my health and safety and exited the trail. But I would be back.
The following summer, just before my planned return to the JMT, I was introduced to a product called Acli-Mate. This all-natural drink supplement employs a formula of vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and herbal extracts to assist in dealing with prolonged high elevation exposure. It was worth a shot; in just a few weeks my wife, Mitzi, and I would be tackling the next section of the JMT, near where I had exited the year before. We would be at constant elevations of 11K and 12K feet. Mitzi was known to have issues with elevation above 10K feet, and from my experience the year before, I was now too.
We started a regimen of Acli-Mate the day before our hike, and every morning and evening during our hike. We felt great! We ate well, we slept well, and we practically ran up 12K-foot Glen Pass. Now, with a little Acli-Mate in our water bottles (Cran- Raz is our favorite), prolonged elevation exposureis no longer an issue on our favorite trails.

halls as we passed several doors before making it to an elevator. I can't move to see who is pushing the dolly. Whoever it is probably doesn't even know I am awake.
We are in the elevator now. I finally catch a glimpse of the person who was pushing me down the hall. He looks like he is in the military. I can't really see his face. All I can see is the back of his head as he reaches around me to press a button on the elevator panel. The door shuts and we travel up a few floors and the door opens again and he pushes me out. He continues to push me through another hallway about fifty yards long. There are no doors on this floor except for one that leads to the outside. Just one long hallway with a what looks like a reception desk and the elevator we came out of. He wheels me up to he desk where a woman is sitting at a computer.
"Number eighty-six,"the man says.
"Okay, hurry, they are loading at the dock already," she said.
The man pushes me through the doors and to the outside. The sun is so bright it burned my retinas and I had to close my eyes. I couldn't see after that and I felt very tired. I fall back to sleep to awake again a short moment later.
Thud. I wake up on a hot metal floor of some type of truck.
"Well, that had to hurt. Sorry, buddy!" I hear a voice say as I am being raised off the floor.
"He fell right on his face, haha. He didn't feel it, though. They're all still coming out of their sleep. Probably numb all over," another voice replies.
I felt it, asshole, I thought to myself.
"I'd like to get some of those meds for my back. Lugging these guys around is starting to wear me down," the first man says.
Aw, poor baby, you just let me fall on my face.
"Sign up for the program. I heard these guys can't feel anything now. Genetic engineering is some amazing stuff," the second man replies.
Program? No pain? Get real.
"Really? I don't think I could pay the price they pay and that's saying a lot being a military man myself," the first man asked.
"I hear ya, but yeah these guys will be the best of the best after their training is done," the second voice replies.
What the hell are they talking about?
As they lift me and the dolly off the ground I see about a dozen other men tied up against the walls of the vehicle. None of them seem to be conscious. I can't tell if they're tied to the walls to be restrained or to be simply held upright to keep from falling over as they stand asleep. I close my eyes so I don't alert the two men because I think they'll sedate me again if I don't. They take me off the dolly and prop me against the wall and tie me up to.
"Hurry up, men, we're about to depart! Arrival time is at fourteen hundred hours on the nose so we gotta roll!" Another man came up to the back of the vehicle and said.
"Yes, sir!" They both rushed to get me tied against the wall. By that time I was able to balance my own weight as I regained my strength.
"Alright, let's jet," one of the men said and then they closed the sliding back door behind them.
It's very dark inside. Only one ray of sunlight shines through and I can make out some other faces. None of them are familiar. The truck starts moving and I try to find a way to unfasten

Trip cost is vital to finding the right travel insurance plan. Your calculated trip cost will have a hand in determining the price of a plan. Sometimes, travelers get tripped up when they hear trip cost. When we say trip cost, what we really mean is "insurable" trip cost.
What does insurable trip cost mean?
Essentially, you can only insure pre-paid, non-refundable expenses. In other words, you can only insure the amount of pre-paid money that will not be completely refunded in the event of a covered cancellation.
Typically, this amount is comprised of airline tickets, cruise costs, pre-paid hotels and tours or excursions. Almost all plans will also insure expenses like event tickets or theme park admissions. Expenses like tuition or class fees, popular expenses for business trips, are also insurable, but only with specific companies.
How do I calculate trip cost?
While calculating trip cost is fairly straight forward, sometimes it can get a little complicated. For instance, costs that you do not have to pay prior to traveling, but will be assessed in the event of a covered cancellation, can be insured. This may include the balance on a tour package or hotel stay that is scheduled to be processed upon your arrival, whether you have to cancel your trip or not. The amount of money that you would lose if you have to cancel your trip prior to departure is what you want to insure.
If you are booking a flight using frequent flier miles, you may want to look at closer at your travel insurance company's stance on insuring them. In most cases, only the taxes and fees associated with them can be insured.
It's extremely important to calculate your trip cost correctly, as your travel insurance plan price and benefit eligibility rely on it. In some cases, you must insure 100% of your pre-paid, non-refundable expenses to be eligible for some benefits. If you have any questions you can contact one of our customer care representatives to help.

text: SURPRISE, Ariz., March 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Athena Wireless Communications, Inc. today announced that they will be exhibiting at the International Wireless Communications Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada March 26-27, 2014. Athena Wireless will be showcasing their NEW Pixie™ LTE small cell powered by the Cavium, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAVM) OCTEON Fusion baseband processor and their NEW Phoenix 80 GHz GigE backhaul link. Both units enable very fast, simple deployment and practically zero footprint. The Pixie can support up to 64 simultaneous users and the Phoenix offers 1000 Mbps data throughput both coming and going. "Our Pixie™ small cell now supports LTE band 14, so we are 'FirstNet ready'," said Eduardo Tinoco, CEO of Athena Wireless. "LTE is vitally important in public safety communications – for example, delivering true broadband services from onsite such as video from emergency situations and for static monitoring / surveillance purposes. These complement existing narrowband channels. We're excited to showcase these at IWCE." "The units are small, only about the size of a smoke detector, which is great for both ease of installation and for aesthetic reasons. You don't have to make room for a big, ugly box to have LTE access," continues Tinoco, "plus Athena Wireless works with system integrators and OEMs to be a key part of a 'total solution.' One example would be an OEM installing just the Pixie™ card into a larger system to give both Wi-Fi and LTE capability. Another benefit is to significantly reduce the strain on existing networks at a lower cost through higher spectrum reuse in heterogeneous network (HetNet) deployments, where we can fill in existing macro cell coverage with these smaller small cells to increase capacity. Having these two types of cells work together in the same network helps ensure a seamless end-user experience by optimizing both network coverage and capacity."

I fidgeted all the way home. I could barely grasp my keys to my apartment, let alone breathe normally. It's like that feeling you get when you've been making out on your couch for a couple hours and your arms start to get wobbly.
Except this wasn't a couch, it was a hard, cold, germy orange subway seat, and it wasn't at all the same except for the arm spasms.
I took a deep breath, the kind yoga instructors like to do, in and out, in and out. Like a ship, rolling on the waves. Okay, sea sickness kicking in.
Breathe Zadie, this is awesome.
It is awesome. Out of all the hundreds of people to apply for this job, only ten were chosen. I was one of them. How did I, the impossibly introverted Zadie Ocean land a major magazine internship?
Karma, perhaps?
I reached for my cell phone as I got off the train, I had to call someone, I had to celebrate.
Then I had to sit there for a minute and think of all the people I actually knew. I counted on my left hand. It didn't exactly continue after that. I could always call Xander, but he probably thought I was a sell-out still. But he was the only person I could think of to call.
Once I was home, I changed into a celebratory outfit fit for going out and celebrating my suprise success. I grabbed a vintage red rockabilly dress from the closet, and set about rolling my hair into the impossible hot rollers. I slathered on a great deal of red lipstick and black eyeliner and sat back and admired my work.
I can look like a proper girl when I feel like it, I thought with a smirk. I always felt slightly more confident in red and clothes that weren't from this era.
I retreated back to my cell phone. Hesitated once again, and dialed Xander's number. He answered after what seemed like an eternity of his Sonic Youth ringback tone.
"What?" He snapped.
"You still mad?" I asked with a fake glimmer of innocence. He growled for a moment in the phone. He was quite good at it. If I didn't know him, I could have sworn it was an rabid pitbull on the other line.
"Xan?" I said, interrupting his noisemaking.
"I'm here. I'm here," he grumbled.
"Come out with me tonight. To celebrate. I'm going to Smokey Joe's. You love it there. I'll even buy you a drink," I pleaded. It was silent for a brief moment. I could almost hear him thinking.
"Are you asking me out?" He said as if it was embarrassing for him to say.
"God, Xan. No. That's too weird for me to consider. I don't really know anyone else to ask. Wait, that came out wrong. Just come with me so I'm not alone," I explained.
"Fine," he answered.

Wedding, Portrait and Special Event Photography. Sarah believes in recording your wedding in a non-intrusive style in order to capture the true feeling of your day. It is important to record each moment as it happens as this will enhance your recollection of this special day. Sarah would be honored to be your photographer!
What was your favorite wedding photo?
A picture of me walking down the grand staircase to meet my fiance for the first time. It was the most beautiful shot, and she perfectly captured the most amazing moment of my day.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
She was everywhere and nowhere.... there are all these great shots I never even realized she took! But when we did need her direction and expertise, she let us know exactly what to do.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
More than I expected. First off, she did our engagement photos. And the day of the wedding she and her assistant were with me for over 12 hours. She made me a beautiful guest book with our engagement photos, we had a photo booth at the reception, we received a DVD of all our pictures and she also printed me a wonderful 8x10 engagement photo to display on our guest book table. Above and beyond.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
My family was in love with SArah by the end of the day! My mom loves to take a million photos, and Sarah was so accommodating and wonderful to work with. We felt very comfortable with her and her assistant.
