Florida waits to see whether Crist will stay Republican or go independent
Sunday, April 25, 2010
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has become the star of his own personal soap opera.
Will he abandon his faltering bid for the Republican nomination for the Senate and run as an independent? Will he, playing good soldier, quietly step to the sidelines and live to fight another day? Will he stay and fight against Marco Rubio, the charismatic young Cuban American who has captured the hearts of conservatives around the country?
The answer will come this week. The national implications are clear. Should Crist quit the Republican primary and run for the Senate under the "no party affiliation" banner, Florida will become ground zero for a test of whether voters in a state that plays a crucial role in presidential politics see the Republican Party as having been captured by its right wing.
If Crist goes the independent route, his decision will be interpreted as the most significant example yet of the "tea party" takeover of the GOP, given the early and enthusiastic support Rubio received from that movement's activists and supporters.
But the Crist saga cannot be so neatly categorized. This has been an unprecedented establishment conservative revolt against a sitting governor seen as putting personal ambition ahead of political conviction.
Many Republicans believe that Crist has made up his mind to run as an independent. Old friends and advisers, many of whom think Crist would be making a fatal mistake by going the independent route, have been shut out by a politician who likes to hear what he wants to hear. A Crist friend says be careful to leap to conclusions before the governor announces his intentions.
Meanwhile, the whole will-he-or-won't-he drama plays out against a backdrop of potential scandal involving Republican politicians. Federal investigators are looking into the questionable spending habits of the Republican Party of Florida under its former chairman, Jim Greer (a Crist ally), and its former executive director -- and also, reportedly, Rubio's use of a party credit card for personal expenses.
Where that investigation is heading and who it might touch before November isn't known but it makes some Republicans exceedingly nervous, though Rubio's team insists he has nothing to hide or fear. "We are a thousand percent confident there is no story there," said Rubio adviser Todd Harris.
If there was a time when Florida politics were more awash in rumor and speculation, no one can remember it. People describe the cascading events as a Grisham novel, as Shakespearean, as a marvelous, maddening circus unlike anything they've ever seen.
The Crist drama is many things. It is the story of an ambitious and popular politician who never truly won the hearts and minds of his party's base. It is the story of tribal rivalries within Florida's Republican establishment in the post-Jeb Bush era. And it is an example of a politician who misjudged a political environment that was changing under his nose.
But this is not a case of a conservative fringe vs. the party establishment. The list of Rubio's endorsements makes that clear. He has the support of former vice president Dick Cheney, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani (smarting from Crist's reneging on a pledge to endorse the mayor for president in 2008), former House speaker Newt Gingrich, and on and on.
Crist has the support of Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a repayment of the endorsement Crist gave to McCain on the eve of the Florida primary two years ago. But McCain has made it clear he will not be with Crist if the governor leaves the party. Nor, of course, will Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which supported Crist early and now has egg on its face.

1. Re: To load training history data into OLMclive_t Nov 22, 2012 8:30 AM (in response to 638847)Hi,
Not sure if I've interpreted correctly what your situation is, but if you are only looking to load individuals' Training History for read-only purposes, then it may be that you only need to use OTA_NHS_API.create_non_ota_histories - this will allow you to load training data without the need for large amounts of historical reference data such as activities, events, resources etc.
Hope this helps
2. Re: To load training history data into OLM638847 Nov 23, 2012 10:37 AM (in response to clive_t)Hi
Thank you for your reply.
As per my understanding, OTA_NHS_API.create_non_ota_histories is meant for external training. Am I right?
If load data into this area, does it impact the integration of OLM with other Oracle module such as Performance Management?
Appreciate your advise
3. Re: To load training history data into OLMclive_t Nov 27, 2012 4:05 PM (in response to 638847)External to OLM, yes.
It's very much a 'quick and easy' way of loading historical training information for an employee without the need to include historical (and possibly no longer applicable) resources, events etc.
It is essentially stand-alone data, which has no impact at all elsewhere in OLM

The Mutable Signs
The Mutable Signs, in astrology, weaken the mighty resistances that Fixed Signs often put up to avoid being altered. Solid structure starts to lose its form as the mutable signs begin their process. Life is in a continuous state of change, even when there are periods where there's a lull in the action. Every season must come to an end.
The mutable signs have the task of breaking down forces that have already peaked in expression, and that now need to be released and reformulated. The concentrated energies of the fixed mode have often become too crystallized (like hardening of the arteries) to enhance the vital flow of the life force that was first animated by the cardinal signs. Mutability thus plays a necessary role in redistributing this energy, and preparing it for a future cycle of cardinal activity, just in time for the arrival of a brand-new season of promise.
As Fixed Mode energy begins to wind down, small changes occur that signal a readiness for adaptation. Mutable signs become the agents of consciousness that allow for this needed adjustment. They are highly alert regarding where and when such alterations are required. Mutability's greatest strength is its flexible openness to change. These pliable signs urge us to stay open and adaptable to the various ways life introduces us to new paths of self-knowledge. They also try to educate us about lifes multi-faceted nature. The mutable signs activate our mental curiosity, whereby we sometimes are left with more questions about life than ready answers.
Nothing is quite firm and absolute in the world of mutability, because everything appears to be in a transitory state, going from one necessary phase to another. It's hard to feel settled about anything. It's not even easy to have a clear direction in life, since nothing can be taken for granted. Life is full of twists and turns, making long-range planning tricky for strongly mutable types. Mutable signs need much variety to appeal to their decidedly mental nature, although mental doesn't necessarily mean cerebral in a logic-minded sense.
Sagittarius and Pisces are two signs that live easily in their heads, yet they need grand ideas and visionary ideals that inspire their collective hopes and dreams. In many ways, their interests lie in envisioning unrealized potential and conceptualizing life's purpose in the broadest of terms. The other two mutable signs, Gemini and Virgo, are more turned on by facts and figures, and by all concrete matters that can be measured, tested, and confirmed as real. They are less impressed by ungrounded, abstract thought (although Gemini is momentarily impressed by anything that sounds brilliant, however impractical). Still, all mutable signs are keenly observational. They want to better understand how life works and how its many pieces fit together.
This group's horoscopes are loaded with nervous energy that needs proper channeling. They can be easily distracted by everything around them, although earthy Virgo is self-discip1ined enough to stay focused on details and not mentally wander (even though disorder in its surroundings quickly captures its attention). Its good for mutable signs not to be given too many options, since this leads to indecision or awasteful scattering of mental energy. They can spread themselves too thin by trying to tackle too many things at once. At the same time, mutable signs cannot tolerate monotony (although the earth in Virgo can handle dull routines more easily than the rest). Variety is the spice of life for this mode. With the pliability of the mutable mode comes a bonus – youthfulness.
It seems such resiliency can keep us young at heart by putting a little spring in our step, a little bounce in our beat. Mutable signs certainly do not plod on, as if weighed down by gravity, but are light on their feet. They seem to skip along lifes path and tip-toe around heavy predicaments (although watery Pisces has to watch out for its attraction to life complicating, melodramatic scenarios). All four signs help us appear chronologically younger than we are (they even have an aversion to aging). The mutable mode shows us that we can greatly benefit from keeping our mind flexible and eager to sample more and more from life, even if only in small but digestible bits.
Gemini is a Mutable-Air sign. Air and mutability have much incommon, making this sign the winner of the group when it comes to expressing the most obvious mutable traits. Air already likes to move about in many directions, unhampered by time or structure. It doesn't like feeling stale, which can happen when it stays still for too long. Mutability gives air plenty of opportunities for ventilation. Gemini thus has mental equipment made for exploring a wide range of interests. It sees little reason to restrain its appetite for knowledge. Information, no matter what kind, is stimulating for Gemini, who can quickly scan the environment and pick up newsy facts here and there.
There's little that doesn't interest Gemini, at least for the moment. The only problem is that the Twins can suffer from info overload, a case where its head is crammed with an assortment of data that may be too trivial in content to be truly mind-expanding. Still, Gemini will give anything that moves its short-lived attention and does it ever enjoy seeing life in motion. There is a breezy side to Gemini that keeps it from getting hung up about anything that's too heavy in life, although it seeks to attain a general knowledge about such matters. Mutable air wants to cover a lot of intellectual territory. ln order to quickly get the gist of something, it'll skim the surface before moving on to something new. All in all, Gemini is blessed with a versatile intellectual capacity for studying a variety of interesting subjects.
Virgo is a Mutable-Earth sign. While an apt fixed-earth image is a compost heap (which takes a while to cook and decompose into black gold – a rich, fertile soil with a concentration of nutrients), mutable earth sounds more like sand, which is known for its ability to shift and easily reshape itself. Sand is a more fluid form of earth, one that is not all that solid to walk on. Virgo thus symbolizes an expression of earth that is able to yield readily to pressure and alter itself, rather than firmly resist.
Virgo can bend and adapt in practical ways, while always looking for simple solutions that work well. What's not so simple is Virgo's near obsession with exactly how everything in life works, down to the finer, technical details. Mutability always stimulates curiosity, while earth gives careful attention to life's nuts and bolts. Therefore, Virgo excels in organizing its specialized knowledge of the more mundane facets of living.
Virgo likes to give attention to the small stuff in life, and wisely knows that even big, complex machinery can come to a screeching halt should nobody on the job notice one loose screw. Virgo, therefore, feels its mission is to attend to the minor, often over-looked issues of any project. It's an even keener observer than Gemini, due to earth's ability to concentrate patiently on one thing at a time. (Virgo's better at shutting out any unwanted distractions, unless it's a dripping faucet or a creaky floor.) Here we have a bright but down-to-earth intellect that seeks to get to the heart of any matter, without becoming sidetracked by non-essential issues (which is something harder for the remaining mutable signs to do).
Sagittarius is a Mutable-Fire sign. If you overlook the apparent random destructiveness involved, a lightning-instigated, raging forest fire is a good metaphor for mutable fire. lt's a blaze, triggered by a bolt from the blue, that quickly spreads far and wide. A form of fire that goes beyond its original boundaries to cover more and more territory, when left unchecked. (Actually, ecologists now know that Nature uses spontaneous forest and brush fires to help invigorate the ecosystems involved.)
Sagittarius wants its own fires of inspiration to distribute themselves widely and to keep on spreading. Here, the enthusiastic side of fire is most easily dispersed. Sagittarian warmth and hopeful optimism can uplift many people at once, which explains this signs urge to go out and greet the big world with its good news about life's greater meaning. Sometimes mutability means that Sagittarius gets a little too widespread regarding its sincere beliefs. It suffers from too many sweeping generalizations about the big, important issues of life. It naturally observes and theorizes on a large scale basis, and generously endows the human experience with almost unlimited potential, particularly in the area of mind expansion. The fires of its vigorous intellect burn brightly for this sign, but any contradictory details that crop up and challenge one's faith is for another sign (Pisces) to fret over, not Sagittarius. The Archer is convinced, with all the fiery self-assurance it can muster, that it's on the right track with its overall concepts, and that's all it needs to know.
Pisces is a Mutable-Water sign. Although Pisces is more emotional than mental in temperament, it's also capable of grand, abstract overviews of life. It is the sign most receptive to cosmological theories that attempt to unify all that exists under one universal law (even moreso than Sagittarius). Pisces' scope of cosmic awareness can be vast and profound, partly due to how well both our left-brain and right- brain hemispheres can creatively unite. This sign may not sharply analyze details, yet Pisces has a knack for synthesizing many diverse factors andarriving at a better understanding of the whole picture of life, not just its bits and pieces. As a mutable form of water, Pisces also emotionally moistens everything it touches, like a gentle mist not like the heavy, drenching common to the rushing waters of cardinal Cancer, or the blast from a high-pressured hose that typically characterizes fixed Scorpio's intensity (especially when outraged). Pisces is more a light drizzle than a torrent of rain.
Mutable water suggests a feeling nature that is able to connect with life on a broad basis emotional sensitivity is less contained (this is a boundless, pervasive expression of water). Pisces feels what all of life feels, a result of its mystical talent for linking with others in less visible ways. All the water signs are active on these invisible levels of energy exchange, but Pisces seems the most unfettered in its ability to flow in and out of the inner worlds of others. Mutability implies versatility,and when combined with empathetic water, it means Pisces has a universal understanding of humanity and can sensitively interact with people from all walks of life.
There must be a special reason why the zodiac concludes with a mutable sign in this mode-element combination, which certainly sounds more malleable and flowing in its life approach than does the hard-headed, cardinal-air mix that began it all in Aries. Astrology is fundamentally a study of symbolic correspondences, i.e., Gemini rules motorbikes, Virgo rules the small intestine, Sagittarius rules the Las Vegas casino mentality, and so on. Human psychology is too rich and varied to be encompassed by any discipline, and not every existing or speculative association can be included here or anywhere. Back to the top of Mutable Signs.

When you marry, you enter a relationship contract with your spouse that entitles you as a couple to certain legal rights and responsibilities. Family lawyers specializing in marriage can write prenuptial agreements for a couple before marriage. A prenuptial agreement can be especially important if you have financial interests you've accrued earlier in life and wish to clarify how they will or won't be shared with your new spouse. A written prenuptial agreement sets out the financial expectations of your marriage and anticipates what will happen to your assets should you divorce. The process for creating an airtight prenuptial agreement can be complicated, and a lawyer with a marriage and prenuptial practice can make sure the agreement is properly written.

About MeI love all types of photography, especially pictures of people, faces, and daily life. I want my work to express emotion. Please contact me here if you have an interesting idea or setting. I prefer natural light but can set up a basic studio if needed. I am in Downtown Denver and Boulder every week and live in Estes Park.
About shooting with me.
I'm a very experienced photographer and have photographed people and places countless times. I will provide quite a bit of direction for less experienced models. I only work in a professional context, it is very important to me that there is minimal weird feeling for either of us. I prefer that you bring an escort/friend, I will also bring one when possible. Please bring a selection of clothing appropriate for the type of shoot we are having and consider that bold prints, strong textures, bright colors, and generally "louder" items are better than plain. Indoor shoots are typically about an hour, outdoor will vary depending on location. Please bring your ID, I only photograph people 18 years of age or older. I will have a waiver for you to sign, basically designating ownership and fair use of the photos. I will provide you with 10 high quality digital photos for each shoot. Generally I process and deliver within a day or two of the shoot. I look forward to working with you!

I've disliked my nose since middle school when I developed a dorsal hump (I'm 23 now). I've always wondered if I broke my nose when I was little because no one else in my family has my nose. I was never teased about my nose, but I really realized that I hated it when I was getting my senior pictures done in high school. One of the "default" poses that my photographer does is a profile/silhouette pose... Ewww. No way did I purchase those few shots :) Anyway, now that I have a good job and have saved up, I'm ready to fix my nose!
After a ton of online research I booked a consultation with Dr. Golden. I met with him on July 17 and could tell right away he knew what he was doing. His calendar is booked solid with rhinoplasties (up to 6 every single week) and I like the look of his noses (straight with the tiniest bit of a slope and very elegant). He told me I had good skin (very thin, not thick) and would see great results. We talked about what I wanted to change (removal of dorsal hump, reduce projection) and then tentatively booked my surgery for August 17!
I'm putting my deposit down this week and have since been gathering all of my pre-op supplies. So far I've bought the following. If there's anything else I should pick up, I'd love all of the tips I can get! I don't personally know anyone else that has gotten PS, so I'm relying on the helpfulness of everyone at RealSelf :)
- Vitamin C
- Arnica pills + gel
- Non-mint toothpaste (apparently mint can counteract the effects of arnica, so I bought this nasty sounding Fennel toothpaste from the health store :)
- Multivitamin
- Handheld shower attachment thing so that I can wash my hair!
- Chapstick
- Vaseline
- Qtips
- I still need to buy bromelain, but is there anything else I'm missing?
Getting excited ... less than a month! :)
11 days post-op

No way did I purchase those few shots :) Anyway, now that I have a good job and have saved up, I'm ready to fix my nose!
Only 3.5 more weeks to go! I've started taking...
I'm still in the excited phase, less of the anxious phase, but I'm sure I'll get there as the days dwindle down. The only thing I'm feeling a little nervous about is the car ride home. I live 2 hours away from the surgeon, and my boyfriend will be driving us home after the procedure. I really don't want to be nauseous and uncomfortable in a 2 hour car ride! Any tips? I know I'll bring water, some kind of crackers, and a bucket just in case! ;)
Lastly, I'm still trying to decide who I'm going to tell. What does everyone normally tell their boss/coworkers? I'm also debating not telling my parents as I'll be seeing them 1 month after the surgery and kind of want them to figure it out on their own :) Thanks for any advice!
I put down my deposit today--only 12 more days...
Just added a couple before pics. At first I was...
Things I'm hoping to improve on the side view: eliminate my dorsal hump for a straighter profile; deproject the tip, and a little bit of upward tip rotation. Things I'm hoping to improve on the front view: straighten/thin out bridge and I think the Dr. said he's going to "debulk" the tip a tiny bit.
I have my pre-op next Tuesday where I hope to solidify my plan with my doc. I'm confident he can improve my profile, but I'm more nervous about how the front view is going to turn out. Going to bring lots of examples!
Countdown to surgery: 18 days!
COUNTDOWN: 14 DAYS My surgery is in exactly 2...
My surgery is in exactly 2 weeks and I'm getting more and more excited. My boyfriend and I are going out to eat and drink tonight as a last celebrate of sodium-laden restaurant foods and alcohol. After tonight, I'm sticking to healing, healthy foods (fruit, veggies, eggs, etc.) and water.
My pre-op is in 4 days. I'll get my prescriptions and show him the photos I like one last time. He's also writing me a prescription for Latisse, so I saved a dermatologist visit ... score! Side note: A lot of people cite a favorite celebrity nose. Lots of Jennifer Anistons and Megan Foxes. But my ideal nose is Hilary Duff's post-op nose. Very straight and feminine.
Question: Has anyone had a chin implant after a rhinoplasty? I know a lot of people get them during the same procedure, but my doc doesn't do chin implants. Does anyone have an idea as to how long to wait between procedures? Thanks!
COUNTDOWN: 9 DAYS I had my pre-op today. The...
I had my pre-op today. The doctor had me come meet one of his patients that was there for her 2-week checkup. Her nose looked fantastic, and she told me she had literally no post-op pain; didn't even touch her pain meds!
I paid my balance, got my blood drawn for the blood work and got all of my prescriptions to fill before surgery. An antibiotic, Vicodin, a nasal ointment, acidophilus (to put good bacteria into the stomach) and Latisse (I will probably start another review on RS for this!).
Lastly we looked at the print outs of my photos from my initial consultation and reviewed the work that would be done. Basically the bump will be shaved, my nose will be broken and reset to thin and straighten my bridge, I'll have weir incisions to decrease my nostrils and he's going to straighten out my septum. I realized when I got home that we only looked at the front and 3/4 view, so I'm going to send an e-mail to make sure we're on the same page with the profile too. IMO the tip needs to be de-projected and rotated a tiny bit.
I'm very confident in my doctor and now I just feel very impatient ... I can't wait for my surgery!
COUNTDOWN: 3 DAYS Only 3 more days until...
Only 3 more days until surgery and the days are draggging on. I'm excited and just want to get it over with at this point! I am trying to be as proactive as possible in regards to bruise/swelling prevention, so I feel like all I do is take pills these days! :) 3 days, out, I'm now taking daily:

COUNTDOWN: 1 DAY Very weird to think that in...
Very weird to think that in 24 hours I'll be 1 hour into my surgery. I don't feel nervous at all; I'm not sure that it's registered that tomorrow is the day! This week I made and froze big batches of Butternut Squash Soup and Tomato Bisque so I'll be all set with liquid foods for a week. I also stocked up on Naked smoothies and juices. I have a haircut tonight and am getting about 6 inches cut off to help throw people off the trail of "what's different?" post-surgery.
I think my PS and I are on the same page as to the aesthetic I'm going for, but I do hope I get sufficient time before surgery to confirm everything with him one last time. Wish me luck! :)
Surgery was almost a week ago and went perfect....
I got my cast off and sutures removed on Tuesday (4 days post-op). Was uncomfortable (and the numbing liquid tasted gross) but not painful at all. As for the nose ... I LOVE it. The profile is EXACTLY what I wanted. It's still super swollen so the front view isn't perfect, but I can see what it will look like when the swelling subsides and it's perfect. It's straight, not piggy and my nostrils are smaller.
For anyone looking to go with Dr. G, I can't recommend him and his staff enough! I'll post photos when the swelling goes down a little more. Marking my experience as "Worth it!"
12 DAYS POST-OP I had my second follow-up with...
I had my second follow-up with Dr. G today. He pulled out more gunk from my nose and one more stitch. My bruising is completely gone today and so is 98% of my facial swelling (not including my nose). I went back to work today and people who didn't know I had surgery didn't notice anything. So for those asking, 1 week off from work (including 2 weekends) seems adequate for a closed procedure.
My tip has noticeably dropped a little which is ok by me. Still considerable swelling in the bridge. My only complaint at this point is that my nose is filled with tiny whiteheads and blackheads. Dr. G recommended applying my leftover antibiotic ointment to the top of my nose to kill the bacteria. Crossing my fingers this will help. Will post photos soon!

It's Speedy Tuesday! After our in-depth hands-on review of the new Omega Speedmaster '57 Caliber 9300 and introduction of the new Speedmaster Mark II on last week's Speedy Tuesday, it is time to give some vintage love again. One of our loyal Speedmaster readers and fans, Santosh from the USA contacted us a few months back to tell us he had a non-working Speedmaster LCD caliber 1620 reference 186.0005 (we covered the Speedmaster LCD in the past, here and here). He already had been in touch with a service center, but the movement was just dead and there was no way it could be fixed. Our suggestion was to find a 'donor' watch on eBay or other source of vintage watches and swap the movement(s).
Last week, Santosh e-mailed us that he'd found a donor Speedmaster LCD watch in gold (plaque) with a working caliber 1620 quartz movement. This gold Speedmaster LCD also has a display that has a gold-ish tint, which – in our opinion – looks awesome in his original stainless steel model.
He sent us the following photos of his Speedmaster LCD that was recently brought back to life again.
Even though these watches are relatively cheap digital quartz watches, they are part of the Speedmaster legacy. Collectors know how to value them and in the case of Santosh, he also let us know that he loves wearing his.
An interesting – but 14 year old – write up on the Omega Speedmaster LCD watch can be found here.

This is undoubtedly due to the influence of the Bohemian Brethren.
He had no idea that the Bohemian Brethren had ever been an independent Church.
Besides the writers of the community of the Bohemian Brethren, we meet at this period with three historians of merit.
He had discovered the ancient laws of the Bohemian Brethren.
The most prominent historians of this period were probably the members of the community of the "Bohemian Brethren."
It was so with the Bohemian Brethren; it is so with the modern Moravians.
An imperial edict appeared, which deprived the Bohemian Brethren of their religious freedom.
There fell the flower of the Bohemian nobility; and there was heard the swan song of the Bohemian Brethren.
Jaroslav Goll (b. 1846) is the author of many historical works, especially on the community of the Bohemian Brethren.
The one is the growth of the humanist movement in Bohemia; the other is the foundation of the sect of the "Bohemian Brethren."

Thanks to the rise of child-friendly tech, new research now suggests two thirds of toddlers are watching TV or playing on a gadget as they eat dinner. Lisa Salmon reports
Christmas may be over, but the effects of its gifts still linger - and not always in a positive way.
According to new research by Disney Club Penguin, four out of five parents bought their children an internet-enabled device for a Christmas present. And, as a predictable result, another survey by GrowingUpMilkInfo.com shows more than a third of toddlers (36%) watch TV or a DVD at the dinner table, 28% use iPads, 24% use smartphones and 12% opt for hand-held games.
It is perhaps easy to see why these figures are so high - tantrums (38%) and boredom (35%) are the main reasons most mums and dads turn to technology during mealtimes, and three quarters admit using technology to persuade their child to finish a meal.
But being understandable doesn't make the facts any less sad, or, more worryingly, damaging to a toddler's social and emotional development.
"Mealtimes with toddlers can be frustrating and boring," says child psychologist Dr Amanda Gummer.
"But if parents don't invest the time in getting it right early with communication, manners, nutrition etc, it will be so much more difficult later, and important social skills, emotional development and attachment will suffer."
She adds the problem is often compounded by parents reaching for technology at the table themselves.
"Technology shouldn't feature during family meals, and parents need to understand what's at stake when they're ignoring their children and answering texts or emails during mealtimes," she stresses. "Parents are role models and they're fighting a losing battle if they want their children to put down tech at mealtimes when they're using it themselves."
With this in mind, you might think a total TV and tech ban must be the way to get the most out of mealtimes, but Gummer, founder of the goodtoyguide.com, says it probably isn't the best solution.
"Like most things, it's about a sensible balance," she says.
"Full-on bans generally don't work and can make the forbidden fruit more appealing - and the tantrum more entrenched, at least initially.
"But there are simple things parents can do to manage mealtimes effectively, and give children good role models and clear boundaries about mealtime behaviour without making it too much like hard work."
She suggests that a 'treaty' tea in front of a film once a week can be something children look forward to, acting as a reward for eating nicely at the table without tech the rest of the week.
Parents should also choose to eat certain meals with their children when they model the behaviour they want to see. She points out it's not necessary at every meal, especially if it feels too stressful, but it is important to try as often as you can.
"When you do eat with the children, be aware that they'll see what you do as normal and acceptable so they'll get confused and frustrated if you're watching TV or using your phone or tablet but won't let them."
To keep up interest levels in the absence of the usual TV or tablet, Gummer suggests talking to children about the taste, texture and look of the food on their plate.
"Make it more interesting for them. Children who eat without registering the food - those who are given tech as a distraction to get them to eat their veggies - are likely to eat more out of habit."
This means they won't be paying attention to the eating process and won't register when they are full, eventually putting them at a higher risk of obesity.
Another trick to keep them entertained, and to make sure they still associate mealtimes with fun, is playing 'non tech' games.
"Play eye spy, or make up stories and memory games," suggests Gummer.
"They'll engage a child during a meal without the need for tech at the table."
Once the meal is over, and if the children have eaten properly, Gummer says it's then fine to use tech play as a reward, letting them sit and relax with some screen time for 20 minutes as they let their food go down.
However, another child psychologist, Dr Richard Woolfson, argues there is no need even for this allowance - at least at the majority of mealtimes.
"Access to gadgets at the family dining table inevitably distracts children from eating what's in front of them, and reduces their desire to chat with others during dinner, isolating them from the dynamic communication of the family meal. This is a lost opportunity and a solid reason why it's best to make, at least some, family mealtimes a no-gadget zone.
"After a few initial protests, your toddler will soon adapt and everyone will experience the full psychological and nutritional benefits of an IT-free family meal."
Ask the expert
Q: "I'm concerned my son isn't active enough and recently he's been complaining of back pain. Could there be a link between the two, and should I encourage him to be more active?"
A: Chiropractor Tim Hutchful of the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) says: "Back pain can be caused by a number of different factors, and it's important for anyone to seek professional advice if they're experiencing back pain because an undiagnosed problem could lead to longer-term damage if left untreated.
"It's true that being sedentary can cause back pain. Exercise can help to promote good posture, which in turn contributes to a healthier back.
"If your son likes sport, you could encourage him to find out more about becoming part of a team which he might enjoy.
"As well as this, he should be encouraged to be active on a daily basis. He can do this by building activity in to his daily routine, for example by walking to school or being active during break times.
"For school, your son should wear a rucksack on both shoulders which doesn't have unnecessary heavy items in it. His shoes should be supportive, with soft soles and a good grip to make it easier for him to carry his bag and protect his back.
"For more tips, the BCA has developed Straighten Up UK - a simple, three minute programme of easy-to-learn exercises to help children develop good postures."

text: Politics 12 February 2007 The real danger caused by the economics of industrial food In an unequal society, many families depend on cheap food. Government has a responsibility to set hi Sign up for our weekly email * The government response to the outbreak of H5N1 avian flu in East Anglia, creating a restriction zone, was a commendably speedy and justifiable precaution to protect local poultry breeders from Bernard Matthews's infected turkeys. As days have passed, it has become clear that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) believes (and hopes to persuade us) that the virus was transmitted to the factory by wild birds. One might have entered a ventilation shaft, or its faeces might have been picked up on boots and carried into the safe gated community of the battery farm. Such comically xenophobic explanations are unconvincing. As Jonathan Leake argues on page 18, despite extensive studies by Defra, no live wild bird with H5N1 has ever been found in Britain (though one infected swan was much photographed in Scotland last year). While endorsing the highly speculative, Defra has been lamentably slow to build on the knowledge we do have. Bird flu is found almost exclusively where poultry are intensively reared. We worry about H5N1 not because it is highly contagious to human beings, but because of the very real danger that it could mutate into a virus transmitted between humans, launching a flu pandemic. Poultry farming is a global industry. The Bernard Matthews factory, with its production-line output of millions of birds a year, has counterparts in Hungary, which have also experienced recent outbreaks of the virus. In Asia, billions of birds are raised in intensive production. So, when we hear of "explosive" outbreaks (in Vietnam, China and more recently Nigeria), this tells us that the conditions in which poultry are being kept favour the rapid spread of the virus. The events of recent days remind us of the lessons of Britain's BSE crisis, including the threats of inducing unnaturally rapid growth in animals, high dosing with antibiotics, maximum "mechanical recovery" of all parts of the carcass, and recycling of waste and faeces as fertiliser. We are forced to think more than we would like about the preparation of intensively farmed animals for supermarkets, fast-food outlets and dinner tables. Fred Landeg, the government's deputy chief vet, was quick off the mark in calling on ornithologists to help him pursue disease-carrying migrants. However, he has so far had nothing to say about safe and humane practice in these highly industrialised, profit-driven food factories - nor the danger such poultry farms pose to the wider population. If H5N1 does mutate into a virus that can be transmitted rapidly between humans, the consequences would be a catastrophic loss of life around the world. It has been estimated that in Britain, the toll will be in the tens of thousands, far exceeding the deaths from any terrorist attack. But while this government has been strenuous in arguing the case for curtailing individual liberty in order to protect us from the consequences of terrorism, it takes the freedoms of profit-makers more seriously. Consumers have a choice, say ministers. If people want to pay £2 for a chicken, they cannot expect free-range, corn-fed birds, say the poultry producers. Consumers are forcing supermarkets to increase the availability of healthily reared animals. But the mark-up on such quality is high. We must not delude ourselves. In an increasingly unequal society, a minority of families are dependent on very cheap food. The government has a responsibility to set high minimum standards. That was the lesson learned, and acted on, after the BSE outbreak when the worst practices of some cattle farmers, barbaric to animals and treacherous to humans, came under the spotlight. Now it is time to turn similar attention to poultry farming practices. We have much more to learn about avian flu and the government is right to set in train stringent precautions against the spread of H5N1. But we have also to learn the lessons of the recent past - specifically the dangerous consequences of wanton disrespect for the planet, our fellow creatures and ourselves. The reckless economics of industrial food production will, for the moment, do us far more harm than migrating swans. Too much for a good man to take The NS has previously resisted the temptation to which other media have succumbed. But finally we've cracked. We must ask: is this political correctness gone mad? We refer not to an outrage over Lottery funding, nor to a local council's strictures against homophobia. Darrell Hair may have come to readers' attention last summer during a Test match at the Oval. There he accused the visiting Pakistani team of tampering with the ball - as close as cricket gets to heresy. As a result, the Pakistanis stormed off the pitch and the match was handed to England. (It must be said that our sporting nation should be grateful for any help it can get.) After an inquiry, Hair was demoted and Pakistan was cleared of any wrongdoing. In the meantime, the umpire had written to the International Cricket Council, the governing body, and offered to resign in return for compensation of $500,000. Hair has clearly not recovered from the trauma, and having to officiate in a match between Kenya and Scotland (a football comparison would be Azerbaijan v Liechtenstein) may have been the final straw. Now he is said to be planning to sue the ICC and the Pakistan Cricket Board for racial discrimination, claiming that he has been punished whereas his black Caribbean junior partner was not. We support the rights of beleaguered communities to struggle against repression. If that includes portly, self-important and irritable Australians, then so be it.

Ladon (Greek: Λάδων; gen.: Λάδωνος) was the serpent-like dragon that twined and twisted around the tree in the Garden of the Hesperides and guarded the golden apples. He was overcome by Heracles. Fifteen long years later, Jason and the Argonauts passed by on their chthonic return journey from Colchis and heard the lament of "shining" Aigle, one of the three Hesperides, and viewed the still-twitching Ladon.[1]
Ladon was given several parentages, each of which placed him at an archaic level in Greek myth: the offspring of "Ceto, joined in heated passion with Phorcys"[2] or of Typhon, who was himself serpent-like from the waist down, and Echidna[3] or of Gaia herself, or in her Olympian manifestation, Hera: "The Dragon which guarded the golden apples was the brother of the Nemean lion" asserted Ptolemy Hephaestion.[4] In one version, Heracles did not kill Ladon.
The image of the dragon coiled round the tree, originally adopted by the Hellenes from Near Eastern and Minoan sources, is familiar from surviving Greek vase-painting. In the 2nd century CE, Pausanias saw among the treasuries at Olympia an archaic cult image in cedar-wood of Heracles and the apple-tree of the Hesperides with the dragon coiled around it.[5]
Ladon might be given multiple heads, a hundred in Aristophanes' The Frogs (a passing remark in line 475), which might speak with different voices.
Diodorus Siculus gives an euhemerist interpretation of Ladon, as a human shepherd guarding a flock of golden-fleeced sheep, adding "But with regards to such matters it will be every man's privilege to form such opinions as accord with his own belief".[6]
Ladon is the constellation Draco,[7] according to Hyginus' Astronomy.[8] Ladon is the Greek version of the West Semitic serpent Lotan, or the Hurrian serpent Illuyanka.

Karmin's Rockin' Night at Y100's Jingle Ball 2012
Bringing their act to the sunshine state, Karmin was among the talent on hand for Y100's Jingle Ball in Sunrise, Florida on Saturday (December 8).
The engaged pop duo of Amy Heidemann and Nick Louis Noonan shuffled into the press center at the BB&C Center to take part in a Q&A before hitting the main stage for their energetic Jingle Ball performance.
As for their chat, Karmin dished exclusively to GossipCenter about their holiday plans, as Miss told, "When I go home it's a lot of food so my grandparents always cook. We have this thing called grandpa biscuits, sounds a little strange but it's really just a Bisquick recipe. You put a bunch of honey on them they're like warm and crispy."
Keeping things short and sweet, Mr Noonan simply said, "I watch a lot of football."
Enjoy the pictures of Karmin at the 2012 Jingle Ball in Sunrise, Florida (December 8).

In the nucleus of each cell in the human body, there are 46 chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of very long, randomly ordered chains of four nitrogenous bases: Thymine (T), Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G). Sequences of a few nitrogenous bases in certain orders code for amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids from which proteins are composed. Chromosomes contain our DNA or genetic makeup. An easy way to understand DNA is to think of it as the blueprints of our body. DNA is divided into chunks called genes. Different genes contain the blueprints for different organs, bones, blood vessels, etc. When humans reproduce, they combine half of each of their DNA. In other words, the sperm and the ovum each contain 23 chromosomes. Twenty-two of these chromosomes are autosomal, or non-sex related, and one is a sex chromosome (X or Y). The sperm and the ovum, known as gametes, are also called haploid cells because they contain only half of the genetic material required to make a person. The sperm and the ovum combine to form a diploid cell (all 46 chromosomes), called the zygote. The zygote undergoes many divisions and transformations to eventually grow into a person.
Every person inherits an entire set of blueprints (23 chromosomes) from each parent. Therefore, you'll inherit two chromosomes, each with a gene determining what your eyes, hair, or any characteristic will be like. The chromosomes from each parent encoding corresponding body parts line up and combine to give you the traits you have. Corresponding chromosomes are called homologous.
To give you an example of how traits are determined, pretend that there are two types of gene encoding for hair color, one for brown hair (B) and one for blond hair (b). The different versions of a gene for any trait are called alleles. The combining of alleles follows the law of segregation discovered by a monk named Gregor Mendel. In any instance of combining alleles, one of the alleles is going to be dominant. You will soon see how this is important. If the allele for brown hair is dominant, the allele for blond hair is then recessive. If a dominant allele is passed on, no matter what the other allele is, the trait that the dominant allele encodes for will be expressed. Two recessive alleles must be passed on in order for the recessive trait to be expressed. Pretend your father was a pure brown haired man and your mother has blond hair. Your father would have two brown hair alleles (BB), and your mother would have two blond hair alleles (bb). You will inherit one allele from each parent. The only combination you could have is (Bb). Since brown hair, (B), is dominant, you will have brown hair. If you mate with a blond haired person, you could pass on either your brown (B) or blond (b) allele, while your mate will pass on a blond allele (b). The offspring will have one of four possible combinations: one dominant brown hair combination (Bb), or three blond hair combinations 3x(bb). If you mated with a brown haired person, with genes like yourself, (Bb), your offspring will inherit one of these four combinations: one pure brown hair (BB), two dominant brown hair 2x(Bb), or one blond hair (bb).

I scratch my head when I see claims that Web 2.0 (or whatever buzzword of the day you want to prescribe to the concept) is revolutionizing marketing.
It may be changing the scorecard for some, but for any savvy small business marketer, the concepts being introduced as "new" have been a way of doing business for decades. There will always be those who stampede toward the lottery promises and complain about their bankroll. Others just really get it.
As I hear the death knoll being chanted for marketing as we know it, I recall the same predilections in prognostications for paper (no need for hard copy documents with electronic files the rage, designers (remember when desktop publishing was introduced?), radio (with the advent of TV), network TV (cable), phone land lines (cellular technology), books (promised kiosks yet to be erected) and even grocery stores (when you can order on-line). I don't buy it.
Keep old principles in mind when embracing the new
Sure, technology provides opportunities that may not have been available in the same fashion as in years past, but the idea of relationship and network building (and I'm not talking about cheesy so-called networking profit-centers for the provider) has been around for a lot longer than I have.
I'm not a big proponent of rushing to embrace every technology platform that surfaces.
Facebook seems to be a total waste of time for my business, but the jury is still out there as some have indicated I need to create fan pages and groups (I'm still sceptical). I'll try it for a couple more months, but won't spend considerable time here.
Many are singing the praises of Twitter. Frankly, I find it hard to keep up with the signal-to-noise ratio. Plus, even though I'm a fan of concise writing, 140 characters really isn't my style.
LinkedIn, however, has been a great resource for me. So, I'll continue to spend probably more time than I should participating in groups there and making connections with people who add value to the lives of others through their shared knowledge and participation.
The more we change, the more things seem the same
What is this really all about, though? The initial claims were that online social networking, Web 2.0 and all the other related tools now breaking through had enabled new marketing realms that allowed you to connect directly with your prospects and customers.
I say that we've always been able to do this. Some have chosen not to. Smart business owners have always understood that talking to your prospects and customers in a receptive and responsive fashion, and keeping in touch, created big opportunities.
Now some of the "online marketers" are pushing products that allow you to automate the process – it's just too hard to keep track of all the stuff created to keep us in touch with our audience. Stop wasting unnecessary time sending personalized messages, supplying feeds to the various (and extremely different) communities where you have a presence and create a barrage of auto replies (it's personalized because you have a script that inserts a name) to give those 27 (or 27000 – must be the more the merrier) impressions once indicated necessary for a sale.
So much for the relationship building and responsive dialog features boasted as "new and different" by the bleeding edge crowd.
Will it last?
The more I watch this "movement," the more I see a crash on the horizon for the silver bullet crowd. People who get it are smart in how they use the technology to enhance their following and net worth by serving others – and staying personal. When you look at most of the winners, they're not seeking a quick and easy way around connecting directly with their audience.
In fact, they've done the opposite. They've created communities and have made themselves available in a big way. They're building relationships, literally, one at a time. They gain huge credibility by being available, responsive, real and flexible.
Yet, the latest barrage of advice, products, offerings and focus seems to be on easy management tools that relieve the business owner (or administrator) of the burden of direct contact.
Stand on the shoulders of giants
So, yes, I think Web 2.0 as the opportunists are trying to define it, is definitely moving away from good traditional marketing precepts.
I now unsubscribe from anyone who sends me a letter filled with red and yellow ink. I ignore those who send every message in the same language out to all their Facebook, Twitter, Plaxo, LinkedIn groups and other social media channels. I get annoyed by the auto-responder messages that barrage my e-mail accounts with e-mail pitches the minute I give them my contact information. I also get cranky about those who create a platform, but don't bother to check into the comments for a month or more. And the latest rage seems to be affiliate programs. Ten pitches in an hour to the same program from so many minions doesn't cause me to run to their offering. It turns me off.
If you want to make Web 2.0 (or whatever you want to call it) really work for you, I suggest getting back to basics. Limit your time to what you can handle and what works for you. Be ready to respond almost immediately (or at least within 24 hours) to those you attract. Demonstrate your interest by responding to feedback.

It's the economy, stupid
Smart small business owners tend to weather the storms. Many who already get how to make their business about others don't need Web 2.0 preachers to tell them how to do business successfully. They listen to their prospects, customers and colleagues and implement what they need to make others feel great about doing business with them. Online connections are critical, but the mix depends on the owner and the audience.
Small businesses that are struggling and blaming it on the economy haven't made their offerings invaluable. No amount of Web 2.0 is likely to fix this until they change their mindset.
Sadly, I've signed off of almost all groups indicating a sales or marketing focus. These so-called pros so don't get it. The savvy small business owner got relationship building a long time ago. Smart ones are picking and choosing how to use the web to improve what they offer – not fix it.
Those who get the importance of one-on-one communications and responsive reactions will thrive. Those who don't will chase the next promise, complain and blame. Which crowd would you like to join?

Using NotePad++ and FireFox together
Select Launch in FireFox from the Run menu or press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+X to open this page in FireFox.
Rearrange your screen so that FireFox and NotePad++ are both visible then change the body of the web page to read "This new text will appear on the page.".
Note that an asterisk appears in the NotePad++ title bar and a yellow bar appears alongside the line you've altered.
Press Ctrl+S to save the file.
Both the asterisk and the yellow bar will disappear.
Remember to save your file (Ctrl+S) before trying to run it in the browser. FireFox and NotePad++ are separate applications and FireFox can't see the changes in NotePad++ until you save them to disk. It would be nice if your file were to be saved automatically when you open the browser but this doesn't happen.
Press Alt+Tab to switch into FireFox then press F5 to refresh the page.
You do not need to open and close NotePad++ and FireFox every time that you make a change. You will work more quickly if you keep them both open on screen all the time.
In general these notes will describe the keyboard shortcuts rather than the toolbar options. You will be able to work much more quickly if you can keep your hands on the keyboard.

Travel operators in Riyadh will increase the prices of weekend Umrah packages from SR90 per head to SR160 from Wednesday thanks to the influx of pilgrims during Ramadan.
Demand is expected to be heavy until the end of the Ramadan season.
This year, the peak season coincides with the summer holidays. As such, a large number of vacationers, including Saudis, are expected to perform Umrah.A leading hotelier in Makkah said that foreign pilgrims are less compared to last year thanks to factors such as the World Cup and the MERS."The majority of pilgrims come from the Kingdom, as well as from the Gulf countries," he said. "Other pilgrims come from countries such as Egypt, Turkey, Algeria, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia." Accommodation at five-star hotels skyrockets to anywhere between SR31,000 to SR40,000 [2] for a 10-day period near the end of Ramadan.There are nearly 275 Umrah travel operators spread out in the capital, but their largest concentration is located in the city center in Batha.Riyadh's Dawah Center has arranged 45 coaches to ferry Umrah pilgrims from the capital free-of-charge. Moulavi Ramzan from the center told Arab News that program beneficiaries are mainly singles from Asian and Arab countries. Accommodation, transport and iftar will be given to the pilgrims, he said.A return fare from Riyadh to Makkah by luxury coach, including accommodation in Makkah, will cost SR160 per pilgrim. An additional charge of SR20 will be incurred if the pilgrim opts to visit the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah en route to Makkah. Accommodation can be upgraded to four-star standards for a mere SR100.According to a sales executive from Al-Rushd, a travel operator in the city, the trip to Makkah and Madinah sets out at 4 p.m. from Riyadh on Wednesday and ends on Friday at midnight. Each family is given a large room, while bachelors are accommodated on a sharing basis, with three pilgrims per room. Children under 12 have to pay half the fare. "We will provide three-star hotel accommodation for our customers," he said.Another travel agent said a five-day package to Makkah and Madinah, including travel and accommodation, will cost a pilgrim only SR250. The offer includes a two-day stay at a three-star hotel in Madinah and another two-day lodging at a similar hotel in Makkah. The journey begins on Monday and ends on Friday.

On the other hand, actual choices have included probable big-time vote-losers Quayle and Palin.
The operator of a raunchy adult-themed website says Quayle was a long-time commenter.
Quayle desperately needs the votes of these like-minded constituents.
The congressional seat should easily go Republican, even in a neutral environment, but at least one poll has put Quayle behind.
"I served with Jack Kennedy," he shot back, looking straight at Quayle.
Dr. Quayle sat down on a swivel chair and swung round to face them.
It is true she could have dispensed with Mr. Quayle's society.
"My sister is nothing if not altruistic, you'll find, Calmady," Mr. Quayle here put in in his most exquisitely amiable manner.
"The statement of the case is just a trifle vague," Mr. Quayle remarked.
Mrs. Quayle stuck to it that Narva was dangerous, probably a witch; Leighton was still in doubt as to her sanity.

Lagos (AFP) Apr 26, 2006
Chinese President Hu Jintao will arrive in Nigeria on Wednesday to forge closer ties with a key partner in China's campaign to secure enough oil to meet its economy's surging energy demands.
The importance of west Africa to Beijing's strategy was underlined last week when Chinese offshore firm CNOOC confirmed it had sealed a 2.7-billion-dollar (2.2-billion-euro) deal to buy a 45-percent share in a Nigerian oil-field.
And, with Chinese oil consumption expected to rise from 6.59 million barrels per day in 2005 to 6.95 this year, Hu's African tour is seen as an attempt to corner part of the production in the oil industry's fastest growing area.
Nigeria already produces 2.6 million barrels per day, hopes to hit four million by 2010 and sits at the heart of a Gulf of Guinea region where new offshore reserves are coming onto the market faster than anywhere else.
Last year, China bought 38.47 million tons of oil in Africa -- about 30 percent of its total imports -- nine percent more than in 2004. Its biggest African suppliers were Angola, Sudan and Congo, according to Chinese figures.
"China's oil companies hope to become the next generation of supermajor oil firms, and at the moment Africa and Central Asia are among the few places where anyone can do significant new business," analyst Michele Billig told AFP.
"The Chinese are already investing in Africa and trying to compete in areas where the existing giants are well-established," added Billig, who is director of political risk at the PIRA energy group in New York.
Chinese investment in the African oil sector will be welcomed if new exploration and production helps compensate for the upward pressure on world crude prices caused by its economy's insatiable demand for crude.
But some, particularly in the United States, worry that China's communist planners see the continent as a prize in a new "Great Game" to secure strategic advantage by striking exclusive deals rather than feeding open markets.
The White House's National Security Strategy accuses China of expanding trade but acting as if it can somehow 'lock up' energy supplies around the world or seek to direct markets rather than opening them up.
It goes on to blame Beijing for "supporting resource-rich countries without regard to the misrule at home or misbehavior abroad of those regimes."
Multinational firms have invested billions of dollars in Nigeria's oil sector, but President Olusegun Obasanjo's government has been annoyed by some Western governments' occasional criticism of its patchy human rights record.
Nigeria is reportedly seeking to buy naval patrol boats from China to help protect its Niger Delta rigs from rebel attack, at a time when traditional allies are nervous of sending more weapons into an already volatile region.
One Niger Delta state governor, reacting to concerns over attacks on Shell's facilities and rumours the firm might even pull out of the region, grinned and told AFP: "If the Brits don't want the oil, we'll sell it to the Chinese."
One way or another, China -- already the world's biggest consumer of oil after the United States -- will have to find a way to fuel an economy which is industrialising so fast that energy demand could soon outstrip supply.
China already has oil interests in Sudan, a country which the United States has accused of genocide, and, after Nigeria, Hu will go to Kenya to discuss oil exploration with a government mired in serious corruption scandals.
"Hu Jintao must consolidate the supply of oil... He has to do that, it's an obligation on his part," Garth Shelton, a China specialist at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, said last week.
"Over the next few years we'll see a pattern of engagement with Africa as China consolidates their links with Africa and they will be looking for new partners," he added.
Hu will arrive in Nigeria late Wednesday and meet with Obasanjo, address a joint session of the National Assembly and meet business leaders before flying on to Nairobi on Thursday, officials said.

River City has woken up from its nap – and we like it. No longer just for history buffs, this former Capital of the Confederacy is redirecting the spotlight to up-and-coming neighborhoods and the feisty James River. Gourmands, style-makers, whitewater adventurers and glossy magazines are taking notice.
The James River wins most photogenic, and also earns kudos for easy accessibility and a range of watery adventures, from tubing to rafting to kayaking. New farm-to-table restaurants and hip gastropubs are revving up established neighborhoods like the Fan and Church Hill and bringing crowds to grittier streets not far from the business district.
Downtown, the Museum of the Confederacy and the adjacent White House of the Confederacy showcase Civil War artifacts. The American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar examines the war from several perspectives. For art lovers, the modern and contemporary collection really shines at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Literary travelers flock to the Edgar Allan Poe Museum, which displays the macabre author's manuscripts and personal effects.

Diddy Lists His NYC High-Rise Panty-Dropping Palace for $7.999 Million
Diddy is ready for new digs.
The hit-maker is hoping he has the same golden touch in the real estate market after putting his NYC pad on the market for $7.999 million.
And CB! has pics of the contemporary cool crib, including his crystal clear grand piano and his artful tribute to Biggie.
The fourth time may be the charm for P.Diddy (aka Puffy, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs, et al) since he first listed it in 2012 for $8.5 million and twice in 2013 for $7,999,995.
So he thought knocking off a whopping $995 big ones would seal a potential deal.
We're not so sure that tactic will prove financially fruitful, but the super-stylized spread is sure to impress.
Described as an "urban oasis in the sky," the rapper is paying the big bucks for amazing panoramic views of Central Park and uptown Manhattan.
And there's plenty of other fancy features fitting of the flashy music mogul — a marble clad foyer with customized wall treatments and glittery light fixtures, Venetian plaster ceilings, and specially designed closets with humidors to preserve all those designers duds.
Enter the living room to find a massive 90-inch flat screen TV, world-class sound system, and electronic blinds and black out shades from the screening room to the master bedroom, and marble-swathed spa bathrooms.
Go inside Diddy's cool crib in the CB! gallery above.
