Jeff Koons says London will remain "a centre of the art world" despite political turmoil, as he brings his new collection to a new Mayfair gallery.
The New Yorker is arguably the world's most commercially successful living artist — with his Balloon Dog (Orange) selling for a record $58.4 million (£45 million) in 2013.
His exhibition, featuring reworked paintings by Masters such as Titian and Tintoretto, starts tomorrow at the Almine Rech Gallery.
It is the first new work from Koons in the capital since his Popeye Series at the Serpentine Gallery in 2009. He told the Standard today: "London is very different in culture from anywhere in Europe and even New York. It will continue being important and vital despite any political changes."
Ms Rech, a Brussels-based dealer who lives in Paris and has an operation in New York, said "everything is uncertain" because of the Brexit vote but it was still a good time to open the new gallery in Grosvenor Hill to complement her original premises in Savile Row.
She said: "London has a very rich institutional base, fantastic museums and galleries and is very international and dynamic. I don't see any city in Europe that could take the place of London and all that it offers." Koons, 61, said he was optimistic that younger artists would "find a way" around rising rents and lack of affordable studio spaces in cities such as London and New York.

1/18 The Water-Lily Pond, Claude Monet, 1899
National Gallery, WC2N, nationalgallery.org.uk
This Monet masterpiece, painted in his garden in Giverny where he lived until his death, was painted during the early part of his iconic Water Lily series, before the great painter suffered from cataracts. A Japanese style bridge arches over shimmering greens and pinks, a view Monet painted 17 times in one year alone.

2/18 The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last berth to be broken up, JMW Turner, 1839
National Gallery, WC2N, nationalgallery.org.uk
Political, but oh-so-beautiful: Turner shows the once-fearsome gun ship Temeraire headed away from the sunset, being tugged by a paddle boat to be broken up, while another tug ominously waits in the lower right hand corner. Turner is evoking a sense of loss, lamenting the decline of Britain's naval power. Messages aside, the painting itself is a gorgeous contrast of styles: details of the ship are finely done, the rigging lightly sketched, the paddles of the boat slicing the water, while the sky is a glorious explosion of colour, thick layers of oil paint, the sun and sky by turns silver and gold, red and purple. In 2005, it was chosen as the nation's favourite painting in a Radio 4 poll.
The National Gallery, London
3/18 Self-Portrait with Two Circles, Rembrandt, c. 1669
Kenwood House, NW3, english-heritage.org.uk
Just look in the eyes for this one: Rembrandt, at the time an old man, showed every ounce of pain and heartbreak he'd endured with the blackness of his pupils, which seems to spill out over his worn-to-grey skin. At the time of painting, he'd lost his wife, three of his children, and his mistress. He sits upright, square-jawed, jaw set defiantly, if a little sourly – it's a long way from his early, energetic, playful self-portraits. Four years later, after the loss of another son, he would by dead, having killed himself. The painting is a large one: give it some time. It's a peculiar experience to stand in front of it and sympathise with a stranger.
Kenwood House
4/18 Sunflowers, Vincent van Gogh, 1888
National Gallery, WC2N, nationalgallery.org.uk
Van Gogh's series of Sunflowers caused an uproar when they were first presented: artist Henry de Groux declared them 'laughable', a remark which saw him only narrowly avoid a fist fight with Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Paul Signac. It's said van Gogh was spurred to paint the flowers in order to have new work to impress Paul Gauguin, whom he planned to share a studio with. On a diet of coffee and booze, he painted the first four in just six days. While visiting the Sunflowers, be sure to see his famous Chair; A Wheatfield, with Cypresses; and the magnetic 1899 painting Two Crabs, which sometimes, sadly, goes overlooked.
The National Gallery, London
5/18 Blue Nude II, Henri Matisse, 1952
London Print Studio, W10, londonprintstudio.org.uk
Among his final ever work, Matisse's playful, vibrant cut-outs are a triumph of form. Too ill to paint, Matisse invented a new form with the cut-outs and the later Blue Nude series, as seen here, are deceptive: they seem simple, but the limbs swirl around each other, and Matisse captures something very human in the posture – particularly noticeable here in the slight incline of the neck. Straightforward, but captivating.
6/18 Venus, Sandro Botticelli, c. 1490
The V&A, Cromwell Rd, SW7, vam.ac.uk
It might not be the famous Birth of Venus, but this piece is as close as one can currently get in London. It contains the same ground-breaking nudity – Christian influence had put a bit of a damper on that for a few centuries beforehand – and again, it's all in the eyes here: the expression could mean one of a thousand things. Afterwards, head to the National to see Venus and Mars, from a few years earlier.
Volker-H. Schneider / Gemäldegalerie, SMB / Jörg P. Anders
7/18 The Skiff (La Yole), Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1875
National Gallery, WC2N, nationalgallery.org.uk
Some Renoir is looked at a little sniffily – that's what being so successful your work is printed on everything from T-shirts to table mats does to you – but this remains a stunning example of Impressionism, showing off Renoir's famous use of vibrant colour: the orange and blue stand brightly against each other, and while the piece is a picture of calm, Renoir puts motion into the Skiff (La Yole, if you're showing off).
The National Gallery, London
8/18 A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, Édouard Manet, 1882
The Courtauld Gallery, WC2R, courtauld.ac.uk
There is more to this extremely famous painting than it first seems: the picture of an ordinary functioning bar quickly unravels with the questions it asks – why her expression? Who is the man? Is he asking about buying a drink or her? Though it feels lively and offhand, like a night in the bar might be, the piece is thoroughly kitted out with detail, including a well-hidden trapeze artist. It's partly famous as the barmaid's reflection has puzzled onlookers since it was first shown: still, Manet's last major work proved to be a hit, and so it has remained.
The Courtauld Gallery
9/18 The Signing of Peace in the Hall of Mirrors, Versailles, 28th June 1919, William Orpen, 1919
Imperial War Museum, SE1, .iwm.org.uk
William Orpen's piece, commissioned at the then huge cost of £3000, is more notable for its scene than the painting itself, but what a scene: as the title says, it shows the Peace Conference at Versailles in 1919, where the Allies decided the terms of peace following the First World War. In the painting are US president Woodrow Wilson, British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, and many, many soldiers, diplomats and politicians. Spend a while with it: the facial expressions and how much they differ are particularly interesting. The architecture, as Orphen sees it, is vast, leaning over the politicians, making them seem small, insignificant, weak. It's subtle, perhaps, but reveals what the artist thought of them.
WM (Art.IWM ART 2856)
10/18 Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, Vincent van Gogh, 1889
The Courtauld Gallery, WC2R, courtauld.ac.uk
The shades of green which run through this piece seem to exaggerate van Gogh's despondency. In this self-portrait, painted shortly after his ear was slashed and he almost bled to death, he sits staring, saying something, while wrapped up as if outdoors in a biting winter. Whether van Gogh slashed himself or it was the result of a fight with Gauguin remains unknown, but the two men never met after the incident again, and van Gogh's pain, insecurity and questioning in this picture is undoubtedly clear.
The Courtauld Gallery
11/18 Two Dancers on a Stage, Edgar Degas, 1874
The Courtauld Gallery, WC2R, courtauld.ac.uk
Degas's dancers are notable for their movement: while ballet is physically demanding, draining, and emotionally consuming, here the pair seem relaxed, joking, as if in rehearsal. That they aren't centre of the painting gives the piece of a feeling of being a spontaneously captured. Not Degas's most famous work, but a beautiful example from a beautiful painting nevertheless.
The Courtauld Gallery
12/18 Jane Austen, Cassandra Austen, c.1810
National Portrait Gallery, WC2H, npg.org.uk
This painting of the famous English novelist was done by her elder sister Cassandra. As the only two girls among eight siblings, the two were extremely close throughout their lifetime and frequently wrote to each other. This incomplete watercolour is thought to be the only known portrait from life of Jane. This does not, however, mean it looks much like her: her family were not convinced by it, although the expression apparently convinced her niece. Still, from 2017, it's the portrait we'll see on £10 notes everywhere.
National Portrait Gallery, London
13/18 An Allegory ('Vision of a Knight'), Raphael, c. 1504
National Gallery, WC2N, nationalgallery.org.uk
Seeing any Raphael is extraordinary, especially as there are far too few in London. It's not entirely clear what this piece means, though some think the sleeping knight is meant to represent the Roman General Scipio Africanus, and the piece is an allegorical painting which has taken influence from the epic poem Punica, by Latin poet Silius Italicus. An example of Renaissance painting, it features the typical faraway long perspective in hues of blue, and fine detail throughout.
The National Gallery, London
14/18 The Ambassadors, Hans Holbein the Younger, 1533
National Gallery, WC2N, nationalgallery.org.uk
Hans Holbein the Younger managed to be a hugely influential figure in art without founding a school, making him something of a rarity. This double portrait might not be as famous as the copy of his lost Henry VIII portrait (head next door to the National Portrait Gallery for that one), but it remains extremely striking, and draws the viewer in with what appears to be a white smudge across the bottom of the canvas: in fact, it is an early example of anamorphosis, and shows a skull, a symbol of death and mortality. While cynics suggest Holbein incorporated it simply to show off his skill (and hence secure future commissions, the canny so-and-so), it forces any audience to engage, to look and consider the work from all angles, and to get a more thorough appreciation for the piece.
The National Gallery, London
15/18 Mont Sainte-Victoire with Large Pine, Paul Cézanne, 1887
The Courtauld Gallery, WC2R, courtauld.ac.uk
Odd to think this series of beautiful, calming landscapes once caused a stir, but it did, if only for its form: unlike the Impressionists, Cézanne outlined his shapes and details, and the piece isn't about hundreds of little details blurred together. The colours are prominent and striking, and the painting feels warm, humid, sunny – something in it acts like a teleporter to south of France. The techniques here and striking lines shows why Cézanne is sometimes remembered for helping usher in Abstract art.
The Courtauld Gallery
16/18 Bathers at Asnières, Georges Seurat, 1884
National Gallery, WC2N, nationalgallery.org.uk
Famous enough that a bar in Pimlico have a drink dedicated to it. That's how you know you've made it big time. At 2m by 3m, Seurat's painting of young men relaxing by the water is impressively sizeable, and another example of a deceptively simple style: in real life, the painting seems to gleam, shine and wink – an effect achieved by contrasting dots of colour. The water is the best example of it, but the boys hat has dots of blue on the orange, making it stand out, drawing attention to him as he braces himself to swim. The side-on figures draws to mind Egyptian art.
The National Gallery, London
17/18 William Shakespeare, attributed to John Taylor, c. 1600-10
National Portrait Gallery, WC2H, npg.org.uk
The Chandos portrait (named after a former owner) is currently on tour for about a year, but once it's home in the National Portrait Gallery, is well worth seeing. The painting is mystery itself: no-one is certain who actually painted it, and there's even some scepticism over whether it depicts the Bard or not. Nevertheless, it's this portrait which has formed the basis for countless portrayals of Shakespeare in the four hundred years since his death. An icon, not to be missed.
National Portrait Gallery, London
18/18 Queen Elizabeth I, unknown continental artist, c.1575
National Portrait Gallery, WC2H, npg.org.uk
Known as the Darnley portrait, this painting is one of the most important visions of Elizabeth I, and would have been painted from a sitting. Though it has come partly to define how people imagine the Queen, with her pale complexion and withering stare, technical goings-over have revealed the paint has faded, and that she would have had much rosier cheeks when the work was finished, which rather changes how one might see her.
National Portrait Gallery, London
He said: "Artists always want to participate culturally and socially in what's happening around them. Cities let them discuss ideas and eye the possibilities from living together."
Buyers of Koons's work are usually billionaires, but the artist said he never has a specific viewer in mind when he creates a new piece. His reworked Masters feature a blue gazing ball which reflects the viewer as they look at the pictures.
The exhibition also includes large steel sculptures inspired by porcelain figurines of ballerinas. The pieces are valued from $1 million (£780,000) to $6 million (£4.7 million).
The collection goes on show as the Frieze Art Fair returns to Regent's Park this week with work from more than 1,000 artists. Ms Rech said: "Frieze is important not just for contemporary art but also the Masters. We get lots of new collectors as well as the ones we already know."

Okanagan Valley Railway GP10 rolls past grade crossing near Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. (Locomotive was transferred to OmniTRAX subsidiary CTRW after shutdown of OKAN).
|Reporting mark
|Okanagan Valley
|Dates of operation
|Track gauge
|4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge
|Vernon, British Columbia
Okanagan Valley Railway (reporting mark OKAN) was a railroad operating former Canadian Pacific Railway track in the Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. Service commenced on November 22, 1998. OKAN's line ran from a CP connection at Sicamous to Vernon (46.3 miles). It also had trackage rights on Kelowna Pacific Railway's line (operating former CN track) from Vernon to Kelowna (33.4 miles) and from Lumby Junction to Lumby (14.4 miles). The railroad was owned by OmniTRAX.
Among the businesses served were forestry, farming, chemicals and cement. Okanagan Valley Railway's biggest customer was Owens-Illinois, Western Canada's only producer of glass beverage containers.
When the O-I glass plant closed in Spring 2009, OKAN lost most of its business and ultimately shut down on September 21, 2009.[1]

The Problem with Suicide
A poem written from the perspective of a victim who once longed for death.
I do not want to live,
But I do not want to die.
I want to make him suffer,
I want to see him cry.
He took away my innocence,
But gave me thoughts of death
Because he wronged me
Should I end my own breath?
Is overdosing the answer?
Do razor blades really work?
When he will be permitted to live
Walking free, remaining a jerk?
Not witnessing his punishment
Is the problem with suicide
Until I see him he pay
On earth I will abide.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My fiance and i were going to get married before he was arrested and decided to wait til he got out, but now he was sentenced to 4 years so we would like to get married before he goes to prison if we can. if not how do we proceed after he gets to prison?
You can check with the Plumas County Jail for their procedure for getting married if you want to try to do it before he is shipped out, but people who are sentenced to state prison can be picked up at any time. The Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation (CDCR) tries to keep people from finding out when prisoners are being transported to avoid escape attempts.
Once he gets picked up, he will be transported to a CDCR reception center, probably the one in Susanville. It is unlikely he will be allowed to get married while he is in reception. It can take several months for him to be placed in the facility where he will actually do his time.
When he permanently placed, he will need to get the warden's permission to get married. The warden will consider his classification (based on severity of his crime, violence and whether a weapon was used) and his behavior to date. His prison counselor can help get that process moving.
Please understand that this is a general discussion of legal principles by a California lawyer and does not create an attorney/client relationship. It's impossible to give detailed, accurate advice based on a few sentences on a website (and you shouldn't provide too much specific information about your legal matter on a public forum like Avvo, anyway). You should always seek advice from an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction who can give you an informed opinion after reviewing all of the relevant information.Ask a similar question
I agree with Attorney Marshall's answer and would add one more possibility. If his attorney can perform the ceremony (i.e. he is a licensed minister), he might be able to bring you in with the witnesses to the interview room and do the ceremony and bingo, you're married! I've done a version of this a few times for clients in the past. This is done while he is still at the jail, not the prison. You're attorney has to have access to do the ceremony.
Good luck with your situation.

The plug-ins work on other versions of Spiceworks as well. The current version 5.3.75941 has the Windows Performance Monitor dashboard widget as standard, would that not give you the information you need?

Previous versions are not available and 90 days after the release of a newer version they update automatically on next reboot. I would try the plugin with the current version and see if it works as Rob said.

UFAW announces Charlotte Burnas the winner of its Young Animal Welfare Scientist of the Year award 2012.
The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) has announced the winner of the 2012 UFAW Young Animal Welfare Scientist of the Year award.
Charlotte Burn was named winner at UFAW's conference "Recent advances in animal welfare science" held in York on June 21st.
The award, which is open worldwide to postgraduates studying for a doctoral degree or in post-doctoral work within six years of their PhD, recognises achievements of young scientists who have made significant contributions to improving animal welfare.
Dr Burn, lecturer in animal welfare at the RVC, was presented the award, along with a prize of £1,000. Her PhD research looked into the effects of husbandry regimes on rat welfare. The work has been influential in establishing management standards for the good husbandry of laboratory rats in various countries.
Subsequently, Dr Burn was appointed to a post-doctoral position at Bristol University to identify risk factors for poor welfare in horses and donkeys in developing countries, and then became a Research Fellow at the Centre for Animal Welfare at the RVC.
Dr Burn's current research interests include investigating boredom in animals and how it might be assessed. She also uses advanced statistical techniques to help tackle practical welfare issues, such as the conformational disorders prevalent in certain dog breeds.

Disability and participation in cerebral palsy research
What is cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder of posture and movement caused by damage to the developing brain, either during pregnancy or soon after birth. It affects one in every 500 children born in Australia. The cause is mostly unknown, and there is no cure. Although the initial brain injury does not change, the presentation of movement problems can change as the child grows and develops. People with cerebral palsy may also have problems with speech, vision, hearing, intellectual difficulties and epilepsy.
What treatment is available?
Children with CP have contact with many health and care professionals, who provide a variety of services and treatments. Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) use a range of different treatments and management strategies to try to improve the activities and participation of children and young people with the condition.
Our research with children and young people with CP
Details of current research studies can be found via the navigation pane on the left.
Recent achievements
A recent publication by Imms et al (2016) 'Participation': a systematic review of language, definitions, and constructs used in intervention research with children with disabilities' has been readily taken up by the research community.

2007 Country Experiences and Impressions
Lima, Peru
Listed below are just a few of the numerous memories and impressions that I've picked up from countries/regions explored during the past 12 months.
The land of steak, wine, and perpetually harassed women.
My general feeling is that Argentina is an over-hyped destination for people not interested in damaging their liver every night. The Irish love Buenos Aires—I've never seen so many in one place. They get stuck inside a bottle there, and wake up several weeks later to realize they've spent only a handful of hours sober during daylight hours. Try as they might, not even the young Israelis can keep up with them.
A return to Argentina would find me avoiding the entire northern reaches of the country. Instead, I'd only be interested in getting the gear and people together necessary to camp and explore Patagonia at my own pace, by car.
Vivid memories from the final 30 days in Argentina include: New Years Eve, and the two weeks following spent partying with an old friend who flew out to see me from the U.S.; protesters in the streets; Oracle employees; stencil-graffiti; lounging on a roof-top pool; cheap sushi on "China Street" (…not town); getting a Tazer suck in my face by an angry taxi driver; and days of paper raining down from Buneos Aires skyscrapers.
Although I only spent a week in the country, I intensely regret not getting out of Argentina faster and into Uruguay sooner. Calm, clean, and generally affordable, Uruguay is the kind of farming country that makes me want to ride a bicycle or motorcycle through it for several weeks.
I would return to Uruguay in a heartbeat.
Vivid memories: A beach full of locals clapping in appreciation at the last rays of a setting sun; riding a rusting bicycle around Colonia del Sacramento; a rather boring capital, where 44% of the country's population lives; and a man with a pair of megaphone strapped to his motorcycle.
An impromptu trip into Paraguay from the Brazilian side of the triple-border town shared with Argentina was long enough for me to feel some sort of confirmation that I wouldn't be missing much by skipping out on the rest of the country. There's an excessive visa fee that must be paid for U.S. citizens entering Paraguay, and visiting the country required that I do so unofficially, slipping past the immigration officials on their side of the border. I received no stamp in my passport, and took no photos—as a border town of this quality was not the place to advertise that one is carrying a camera.
Vivid memories: A chaotic line of cars at the immigration checkpoint that reminded me of the Tijuana/USA border; feeling refreshed upon hearing Spanish instead of Portuguese; bypassing customs and immigration; and accidently wearing clothes that day that screamed "stab this guy for his money."
Brazil was an emotional rollercoaster. I was intensely happy one day, only to find myself revolted by the country the next. It was an absolutely exhausting place to travel in, and easily most expensive of 2007. I don't care who tells me that Portuguese and Spanish are similar—they're not when spoken, and traveling economically through Brazil without a command of the language can be a miserable, frustrating experience.
The biggest mistake I made with Brazil was not buying an "air pass" to move about the country, and consequently, my time there was all that more displeasing because of it. Overland travel is so expensive, it's actually cheaper to fly about it—and it's not because the flights are cheap, it's just the cost of a bus ticket is upwards of US$5–6 per hour of the journey. Brazil is a big country, and the outrageous cost of traveling (a typical) 25 hours on a bus is actually more than a flight across the United States.
My itinerary suggestion to future travelers: Fly from Foz do Iguazu to Rio, to Salvador, to Belem, float up the Amazon, and then bus into Venezuela (or fly out of the country) from Manaus.
I honestly hope to never return to Brazil, unless it's with a group of very close friends for another Carnival experience.
Vivid memories: Violence, and the perception of it around me; the amazingly overhyped Jesus statue of Rio; slapping the face of a young child pickpocket; the smell of Carnival: sweat, beer, urine, and dirt; fighting with fists; tanning naked on the beaches of Tambaba; a week on the Amazon River with a boat full of Brazilians; three-course breakfasts; language problems; brain-dead bus drivers; a cloned army of men on beaches wearing the same black thong; eating piranha; fuel made from sugarcane; and expensive everything.
Venezuela, the country that just won't let me do anything short of hate it.
But this is an oversimplification of a more identifiable problem: Caracas. In a previous travelogue post about the capital, I said: "May I live the rest of my days without ever setting a foot in the city again." And I meant it. It's my hope to never see Caracas, or its airport, again.
I received a very pleasant e-mail, and likewise articulated comment left on that particular travelogue post, from a Venezuelan living in the United States. And though I've completely lost hope of ever moving past the bad experiences Caracas has bestowed upon me, messages like this give me hope that I just might consider sampling the country again one day.
Vivid memories: A teenaged military; sleeping in a hammock to save money; repeatedly getting harassed, and ultimately robbed, by police in broad daylight; black-market currency negotiations; the best outdoor play I've ever seen; and the most fear felt of any country I've traveled in.
The United States
Traveling in the United States is my vacation. It's an oasis of predictability and pleasurable excess, where I don't have to fight for accommodations, Internet, food, and transport on a daily basis. Life is easy in the United States, but complicated.
Vivid memories: Silence; a car stopping to let me cross the street; theme park visits on both coasts of the country; my wild 27th birthday celebration in Arizona; steelhead fishing with my brother and father in the Pacific Northwest; being given a 100-year-old pocket watch that was used daily by my great-grandfather; hugging friends and family; hunting for, and modifying a new backpack; and driving again for the first time since 2005.
All roads in SE Asia lead to Bangkok. It's a wild, wacky, and depraved convergence of business and pleasure that is unlike any other place I've seen on the planet. It would seem that any food, any delight, and any vice can be had in Bangkok—so long as you know where to look for it.
Most every backpacker who travels the world will eventually walk down Khaosan Road, regardless of his or her nationality or age, and stare at the oddity that is the center of the universe for this region of the world. Stand still long enough, and sooner or later you'll meet many of those you encountered along the journey to get there.
For each of Thailand's faults, there seems to be two strengths waiting to make up for it. Many of the Thai people may loath foreigners, but they're often passive, respectful, and courteous to your face. The 'Land of Smiles' is one of the easiest in the world to travel in for greenhorns, and equally rewarding for veterans, who can just as easily step off the tourist trail and into a unique experience.
It's an inexpensive, fascinating, and delicious, mystery of a country that I've had no problem going back to time and time again. And with flights originating out of Bangkok bound to most any destination in the world, it's assured I'll be back to check out the NW region of the country—something I still haven't gotten around to seeing.
Vivid memories: Khaosan Road; ladyboys, and straight men with ladyboys; squat toilets; yellow shirts and big amulets; phuket prostitution; attending a celebrity wedding reception; watching a friend throw a girl's digital camera out the window of a taxi; mango sticky rice; sweetened Indian Pennywort juice; nearly loosing every photo taken in SE Asia; an ignorant girl making a mess of an old friendship; cheesy love songs; and Patpong ping-pong shows.
Malaysia was my first exposure to a Muslim nation—and though diluted in intensity because of the large Chinese and Indian populations that live in the country, it was enough for me question if I'd enjoy traveling in regions of the world where the overtones of the Islamic faith were any more extreme.
Although more progressive than other Islamic states, I didn't care for the obligatory headscarves the Muslim women wear, and found myself wondering if the women of this faith are more prone to be overweight than other religions, on account of the loose clothing and feature-concealing garments they're expected to wear.
The level of chauvinism that I thought so wild in Latin America was blown away by the acts and attitudes of Islamic men in Malaysia. My heart truly goes out to the mothers and daughters of that repressive faith.
Tensions between ethnicity groups are still omnipresent, decades after the 1969 race riots. I found Indian men to be most outspoken on the subject, and have little doubt that problems will only worsen as Malaysia continues to grow as a destination for vacationing Saudi's (who can't travel anywhere else because they're deplored by so much of the American and European communities).
All things considering though, Malaysia has some of the best food, buses, roads, and island escapes in all of SE Asia. It's an intersection of cultures that I've only seen the equivalent of in Singapore.
Vivid memories: A green sea of tea bushes; being hosted at a five-star resort; the quality of the water and sand in the Perhentians; roti canai, Indian iced tea, and Malaysia's foods in general; sleeping in a barracks built by the British in the 1930s; purchasing a laptop; and realizing that the Petronas Twin Towers are in Kuala Lumpur, not Hong Kong—oops.
Laos felt like a mixture of Central and South America, with a wonderful Asian twist. The breadth of town types encountered was intriguing, ranging from rural village, to war-torn town, to hippy outpost, to World Heritage site. The Lao countryside is equally remarkable, making the arduous overland travel by bus a joy.
I love how there is no visible prostitution in Laos, as romantically consorting with foreigners is illegal.
I would happily return to this country, and continue exploring rural, landlocked Laos (before the tourism gets out of hand).
Vivid memories: A lack of corrugated steel in home construction; an overabundance of Thai pancake vendors in Vang Vieng; agro-subsistence farming; vast fields of rice; tractor transport; vegetarian meals; civilians with automatic rifles; tubing down a lazy river; being adopted by communists; and mythical serpent-beings.
The Philippines
In an attempt to have a comfortable beach getaway with Tatiana in a finite 2.5-week span of time, we made the mistake of never leaving the tourist bubble. I know that had I been traveling alone in this country of islands things would've been a lot different—although I'm not sure the lackluster food choices would've improved with independent travel.
Since then, I've been reminded many times by a buddy of mine who says that the Philippines is not a place for guys who like girls to go with a spouse or girlfriend in tow. And though I have no recollection of any cute Filipino girl sightings—he assures me they're there.
A visit to this country in the middle of the typhoon season is not recommended if you're looking to lay out on a beach and get tan. But, if you're looking to lay out on a beach and get sand blown into your face by seasonal winds, it's your place.
Vivid memories: Wristwatch/fake Rolex peddlers; off-key Karaoke; brothels; skewered chicken heads, and a country full of inedible terrestrial animal-based foods; children street beggars; South Koreans; sunless skies; interesting Jeepneys and annoying tricycles; cock-fights on TV; living inside the tourist bubble; boats fitted outriggers; Tatiana's surprise; quality prenatal healthcare; massive barriers made of plastic and bamboo; a double x-ray policy at airports; the Chocolate Hills, and tiny Tarsiers.
With 238 million inhabitants, Indonesia is the largest Islamic nation in the world, comprised of 17,508 islands, forming the world's largest archipelago. It's a helluva lot of land spread over a ridiculous amount of islands, with an even more ridiculous tourist visa policy to go along with it. Few travelers are going to get far beyond the islands that now serve as tourist traps.
Jakarta is surprisingly modern when looking up at the buildings, but exhibits the same dirty, pushy chaos of men that 'Muslim Malaysia' suffers from.
Bali is an absolute mess that should be avoided at all costs.
Little information seems to be published on the beaches of Indonesia—though lots of surfing destinations—which has since lead me to the conclusion that there are no good beaches in Indonesia. Don't go to Indonesia if you're looking for warm, turquoise water; it isn't there.
Vivid memories: Bali's hedonism; Borobudur; a freezing ocean; mosque loudspeakers pumping out wailing prayers; sweet soy sauce; narrow bus seats; Bali's fixation with wooden penises; soliciting screams from Indonesian men; tree snails; seaweed farming; punching in the hood of a taxi on Kuta Beach's Poppies Gang I, and general pedestrian misery along that alley; Canang Sari; sunsets; a week of cold, saltwater showers; and camouflaged crabs.
Singapore is an oasis of logic and order in an otherwise illogical and chaotic region. The cost to live and travel within it is second only to Brazil, but is the kind of surreal place that can best be described as the Chinese vision of a utopian city/society. I have a desire to return to Singapore to find the seedy underbelly of the country, where the pedestrians jaywalk, and the people don't seem like repressed robots.
Singapore is one of the cleanest places on Earth.
Vivid memories: The architecture; (caning-enforced) fines for everything; lack of media piracy on the streets; next-generation electronics everywhere; overpaying for a horrible hostel; upscale shopping; and a wide diversity delicious foodstuffs.
I don't think Cambodia knows what to do with itself. It's a country full of children—over 60% of the population is under the age of 24, and 40% under the age of 14.
It's a rural country that seems to have taken too many queues from Vietnam, and not enough from Thailand and Laos. Present in Cambodia are the tall, skinny buildings; persistent, pushy sales pitches; and crafty scammers—all very Vietnamese.
All the cities I visited in this country reeked of tourism, and abuse/manipulation of tourists. Yes, a failing on my part not getting off the trail, but then again, I was in the company of a woman with a five-month pregnant belly (and a travel time limit). Hunting around the outback of rural Cambodia for a village where people didn't want to take their cues from their neighbors to the east was just something I didn't feel like doing.
Vivid memories: The saturation of a dirt colored brown, everywhere; sappy, Thailandesque love song music videos, complete with karaoke sing-along subtitles, playing on most every TV channel; amazing fruit shakes; death chanting; the amount of French spoken; Tatiana revealing that she speaks French, while receiving a prenatal ultrasound from a non-English speaking technician; inner-city transport stress, and being harassed for tuk tuk and motorbike rides everywhere; hotel staff repeatedly entering our room without permission; Battambang's over glorified architecture; happily cooking my skin on the roof of a boat for eight hours; traveler names sold to tuk tuk drivers; the crumbling (yet interesting) temples of Angkor; busing on an unimproved road towards Bangkok; and Tatiana's simple order of chicken and rice, which contained no chicken meat, but the tip of a wing, chopped liver, gizzard, two small pieces of rib, and the bird's bladder.
Although the notion of an American traveling in a country that the U.S. was so recently at war with was fascinating, I will never again return to Vietnam by choice. Ever.
Vivid memories: Constant lying; the traffic nightmare for pedestrians; haze; noise; (ugly) language; popularity of the pith helmet; crooked taxis; climbing countless flights of stairs; tiny street stools; mutant prawn/lobsters; overhyped food; the street vendor that returned money to me, insisting that I was accidently overcharged two days earlier; the little meat barbeque/frying outfits on the street; the lovely dinner with a Vietnamese friend; and the inept Hanoi pharmacist that handed a Tatiana a box of birth control pills instead of anti-itch cream for her seven-month-pregnant belly.
Peru: The land of Machu Picchu; excessive desert; earthquakes; neon-yellow soda; fried guinea pig, and furry lamas.
For my encore experience in Peru, the Fates have placed me in the capital city of Lima, inside Tatiana's family home. The collection of crumbling concrete homes and buildings in the metropolis is reminiscent of Cambodia. It's strange how so many things are alike between developing countries around the world, but all uniquely different.
Peru is poor, but just a different kind of poor than some countries in SE Asia. The lifestyle differences stand out the most, such as large urban supermarkets, and people deathly afraid of having their belongings snatched away from them with overt displays of aggression.
How long my sojourn in Peru will last is a mystery—as is the predicted extent of my exposures outside of the Pueblo Libre district of town. But with the New Year will come new paths, opportunities, decisions, and destinations. I may just not be done with Peru yet.
Vivid memories: House slippers; Inca Kola; building the Travelvice Compendium; home-cooked meals; baby preparations; and Tatiana's prenatal examinations.
The Freedom of Choice
I have the freedom to travel wherever I want, limited only by financial and political complexity. When I'm in a country, I decide daily whether I want to keep investing in an experience in that place or not.
I'm accustomed to having the luxury of choice. Every day I choose my home, my neighborhood, my city, my country, and my continent. With 673 countries, territories, autonomous regions, enclaves, geographically separated island groups, and major states and provinces in the world today, why would I waste my time in places that I don't want to be?
That being said…
- Countries that I'd have no problem revisiting: Uruguay, Thailand, Laos, and Singapore
- Countries that would take some convincing: Argentina, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Peru
- Countries that I have little to no desire to revisit again: Paraguay, Brazil, Venezuela, Cambodia, and Vietnam

What do you think of this interpretation? In the Garden of Eden story…Yahweh places the two trees in the garden for the benefit of the elohim. I infer this because Yahweh did not allow the humans to eat from them, and the trees impart qualities by which the gods are identified. Apparently the elohim regularly [Read More…]
Cranks according to Jonathan Kay
What cranks truly crave is the exhilarating sense of independence, control, and superiority that come from declaring oneself a self-sufficient intellectual force. Conspiracism is a natural outlet for this craving since conspiracy theories always exist in opposition to come received truth that enjoys the blessing of experts, and because the associated claims are regarded as [Read More…]

Early numbers show IBEX attendance downPosted on
Attendance for this years International Boat Builders Exhibition and Conference was down about 14 percent from the previous year, according to preliminary figures released by show organizers.
There were 3,924 qualified attendees at this years event, down from 4,570 in 2007.
Given market conditions, we were not surprised by the drop in attendance and are heartened by the quality of attendees who invested in IBEX 2008, said Carl Cramer, IBEX co-director. In many ways, this was an extremely effective show, with leaders of today and tomorrow emphasizing our ability to withstand economic downturns and giving us hope, as an industry, for the future.
The Oct. 6-8 show was held at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Organizers say a majority of the 750 exhibitors reported business as usual, as most of the leading boatbuilders came to see, buy and place orders, despite the economy.
We were able to deliver quality attendance in the current economic climate to further reinforce IBEX as the leading boatbuilding event of its kind, says IBEX co-director Kathleen Clickett. We heard a great deal of positive feedback on the show floor and were pleased to hear so many exhibitors had an exceptional show.
Look for a complete wrap-up of IBEX 2008 in the upcoming November issue of Trade Only.
Exhibit space for IBEX 2009, scheduled for Oct. 12-14, can be reserved now. Contact Tina Sanderson at (802) 879-8321 or Anne Dunbar at (716) 662-4708 for exhibitor information.

I remember moving to Burnt Oak in April 1974, I was born in Lambeth, South London, then my parents moved back to St Lucia when I was about three years old. hen we returned to England my parents had already found a home in Littlefield Road. I remember the journey into Burnt Oak in the Black Taxi. Burnt Oak was so clean and quiet. We grew up in 15 Littlefield Road, and my sister and I went to Goldbeaters School. We had such wounderful neighbours and Watling, Silkstream and Montrose were our place of fun and adventure. I remember spending many happy hours in Burnt Oak Libary and on Sundays we would go to the Annuciation church with my mum Alice Tobie, but my father never went.
When I was growing up there was no place better than Burnt Oak, everyone played together even though back in those days you had to fight off athe racism, we all somehow got along with each other. I rememeber John Fords, the best shop in the world, where you could find anything from hankies to girdles, and its grand showcase as you entered. Burnt Oak Market on a Saturday was the place to get all your little pocket money toys.

It's ok
Somedays I feel that it is easier to pick a fight with you then to let you know how much I really care for you. The ways that I have learned to protect myself... If you get with this chick or that chick you can be like the others. But you are like the others you will leave, they always do. I know you say I don't know the future but this one I know all to well. You will pick her. We both know this. It's ok... It's my karam.

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- Drug Tolerance
- Drug Addiction Signs
What is Drug Addiction?
What is drug addiction? It is when a person becomes dependent on a drug. Their dependence can be mental dependence or physical dependence. Some drugs cause the user to become both mentally and physically dependent such as heroin and alcohol. With these particular drugs, if the addict stops consuming them they will suffer not only psychological withdrawal but physical withdrawal as well. Their body has adapted to the presence of these drugs in their system and without them begins to experience sever and painful withdrawal symptoms. Common withdrawal symptoms of drug addiction include nausea, muscle aches and fever, concentration problems, insomnia, anxiety and unpleasant dreams. Other drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana do not cause physical dependence. The addict experiences a strong psychological addiction to these drugs, but their body can continue to function without them in their system.
Drug Tolerance
All drugs of addiction cause the user to develop a tolerance to their effects. Tolerance means that the user needs higher quantities of a substance over time to reach the desired effects. However, people who do not experience tolerance and/or withdrawal symptoms can be dependent on drugs. They repeatedly and with no success try to reduce or control the use of the substance, or they use it longer or more than they had intended. Obtaining the substance, using it and recovering from the effects of the drug takes a lot of time. They neglect important activities like work, school or social contacts, or completely stop these activities.
A key point of what drug addiction is includes not being able to control the use of the substance or to stop using it. There is a certain pressure, an almost irresistible need to use the substance.
Drug Addiction Signs
- Continue to use even if they know it is hurting them.
- Damaging effects in the user's life such as problems at work or school, arguments with people around them, and illnesses.
- Failed attempts to control drug use or their behavior.
- Feeling they need the drug.
- Spending a great deal of time on obtaining and using the drug.
- Tolerance (need more to still feel the effects).
- Use more frequently and in higher doses than planned.
- Use the substance or carry out certain behavior to reduce the withdrawal symptoms.
- Withdrawal symptoms (experiencing physical reactions after they stop using).

First, let me say that this house is beautiful. It is exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately, we discovered on the first day, that it hasn't been really cleaned in quite some time. At first glance, it looked like the basics were done by housekeeping before our arrival. By our first night, we experienced several issues with the lack of cleanliness in the house. The lower bunks in the family suite downstairs smelled very strongly of urine and we had to wash them just to sleep there. It was awful! One of the King beds on the third floor had a dead bug in it. Within 30 minutes of walking around the house, our socks and/or feet were completely black. These floors were absolutely filthy. The showers had mold in the corners and along the shower door rails too. It is so unfortunate, because it really is a great house for a huge extended family or friends to stay in at the beach, but due to the lack of cleanliness, I cannot recommend it.
It was beautiful inside and out. Enjoyed the balconies and it had beautiful stair cases. Maintenence MAN, Justin was always on top of things. Might not be able to get things all done but he was on top of it. We had a wonderful stay.
The minute you pull into the driveway, you are impressed. Utopia house met all of our needs and beyond! We had a large group of high school graduates for their senior trip, and they were thrilled with this house! Many expressed they had never stayed in a nicer home. Utopia does not disappoint! Very close to several restaurants, even in walking distance.
The house was gorgeous along with the surrounding neighborhood. The pictures and description of home were honest from the website. I loved the convenience of a code to unlock the door instead of worrying about house keys. We all loved the private gate access to the beach. The pool was also lovely. It was a great time had by all 20 of us! We didn't want to leave.
A few friends and I are staying here in spring and absolutely love the visit. The house is next door to tennis courts, the pool, and a short walk to the beach. We also can walk to nearby restaurants, but have been using the grill at the house. The home is large and has a bright beach feel to it.
I recommend this house to anyone wanting to be close to the beach in a beautiful home.
Rented for 3 months (Dec, Jan, Feb). Very poorly decorated with cheap furniture. No view. Vynl flooring. Small kitchen. 13-14 houses from the beach, not 8. Worst part was the false claim that accross the street was a "heated pool". The pool is not even in sight from the house, and it is not heated during our stay, and we could not get a response to emails and phone calls from the managers to resolve the issue. Definitely not worth the price.
