Tornadoes forced us to the basement last night and we were totally unprepared. We're fine, but we're supposed to get similar storms again tonight and I want to be ready. We live in a 140+ year old farm house and our "basement" is a dirt floor cellar, so it's not like we can kickback on an old couch in a finished basement.
I'm sure some of you must have more experience with extreme weather than I do and I'd really like your suggestions. Aside from the obvious shoes, water and flashlight type suggestions, what do you have packed in your family's emergency kit?

It's 7am. Everyone wakes up with own timing and own feeling around this time. I wake up by sounds of boiling water, that is the song for a starting day.
We camp out in the middle of La Réunion island, where the nearest town is called Cilaos and our camp site is about 1.30h of hiking from Cilaos.
The landscape around us is volcanic, and in front of this camp site stands a 130m beautiful basaltic wall; this time we want to climb up this beautiful basalt wall with the international team.
By the way I didn't have any idea about La Réunion island until I met Caroline, but as soon as I met her I started to know the origin of the island and I was interested more especially in the culture; they are a mix culture. Caroline explained me that the goal of this trip would be to open a new route on this wall with own ideas and multi national team, and I was wondering what was coming up with this mix team on La Réunion island!!!!
I arrived on the 5th of June after Caro, James, Jacopo had arrived and most of things had been prepared by them. The next day on the 6th, Sam arrived from US: all the team members were here on La Réunion Island and we started to hike up for our biggest target of this trip. After we made the Base Camp we started to talk about how to proceed with the new lines.
First we checked the wall from the ground.
Caro and James have the idea to make a new line but it's so hard to imagine how the route goes up to the top from the ground. Sam, Jacopo and I went to the left side of the wall which seemed to have a little bit of possibility. We climbed up on the jungle with a machete for 1 hour and we arrived at the base of our imagined line but our hope was crushed in a minute. The rock is kind of lose and dirty and it doesn't hold much!
After this happened I was nearly decided to open a single pitch of sport line, but luckily James and Caro's line was going good and they asked me to open the 2nd pitch: it started with a beautiful split crack so I just jumped on the line with easy mind.
But reality wasn't easy…
After 15m of climbing there is nothing to protect me to go next 8m and it's looked very hard. I wasn't sure that there will be the place to protect or not… so i decided to come down with the last piece and I explain to James about how I was feeling and then he just started to climb and safely he added a bolt with ground up style.
What surprised me, was his skill to add higher bolt with hooks between hard moves and going far from the previous protection; he is so calm and he hasn't shown how it was difficult.
I knew how hard was the climbing… plus he placed the blot on hooks. I was surprised how he can manage to put the bolt… my first experience of ground up climbing has just started by this pitch.
Day 3rd, 9th of June
Jacopo and Sam have joint the game and we climbed 1st and 2nd pitch by free and we opened 4th pitch by ground up style!!!
It's still 2 or 3 pitch to go to top but our team in one route all together and helping each other.
I don't know what will be the result at the end of this trip but we are making this one route all together in a mix culture, mix population of La Réunion island now.
Stay with us!!!!!

Jennifer Lawrence wows in white
Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence braved plunging temperatures in New York on Sunday evening (13Dec15), in a backless white floor-length gown for her latest movie premiere.
Actress Jennifer Lawrence looked angelic in white at the premiere of her latest movie Joy on Sunday evening (13Dec15).
The 25-year-old star braved plummeting temperatures in New York to grace the red carpet in the revealing figure-hugging floor-length gown with spaghetti straps and a short train. Jennifer's fantastic figure was shown off to full effect in this outfit, which was backless and boasted a plunging neckline.
Keeping the rest of her look simple, Jennifer wore her blunt blonde bob hairstyle in a side parting and in loose waves. Her make-up was minimal, just a slick of nude gloss and eyeliner on her lower and upper lids. To finish off the look, she added some colour to proceedings with her choice of jewellery – opting for a pair of red earrings and a turquoise ring.
The Oscar-winning actress recently joked that she wanted to wear the same outfit as her close friend Amy Schumer to the Golden Globe Awards next year (16). Jennifer and comic star Amy have both been nominated for best actress in a musical or comedy at the annual ceremony, for their roles in the films Joy and Trainwreck respectively. Since they have so much in common, Jennifer has suggested they should walk the red carpet in matching gowns.
"We're going to try to figure out to wear the exact same thing," Jennifer told E! News. "That's my mission. I really want us to wear the same thing."
While Jennifer is happy to share the style limelight with her Hollywood friend, she does have one condition about their appearance. She insists she will be choosing which designer the ladies are dressed by.
"She's going to have to wear Dior," Jennifer said about Amy's outfit. "I'm just going to have to have Dior make two of whatever they're making for me."

Thats not a release , please read this thread
/changed prefix
Hey guys!
I won't be uploading Myst Realm v2 until a little later, [due to my sucky internet], so I thought it would be good for me to make some custom bots!
I'm open for any suggestions! Like improving Auto Bots that's already existent, or completely new ones that would help our MPGH do what they do best, enjoy the game more in the hacking perspective.
Remember, if there is a really big line up, obviously I am not going to jump from the first one to for example, the 4th one, so you will have to wait. I think I will try to post all the made custom bots on the same thread as this one, to prevent our forum from overflooding with the practically same topic.
Just complete the following and I will try to finish it as soon as possible!
What bot do you want me to make / improve to have better rates:
What is the improvement you would expect? [e.g. better rates on drops, less jams, etc.]:
Be sure to thank me if I helped

The applet works even with the server complaining about missing locale files. I think it has to do with Rail's.
The complaints are being generated by the action controller which passes them on to the web server.
I've posted to a few rails groups but nobody responded.

Is your applet working still despite the messages appearing in the web server log?

The Ghosts That Haunt Me, Chapter 3
"I think I need more Merlot for this story." She started for the kitchen, and Fritz grabbed her by the arm. "Brenda, you have had two bottles over the past few hours. I think that's enough." He had concern in his eyes.
"I'll compromise with you. I'll just have one more glass and that's it. I have a real high tolerance for wine, Fritz, because I drink it every day. Good for your heart and all that. So goin' through two bottles since 7:00"—she looked down at her watch—"for heaven's sake, It's almost 10. I've been talkin' for two straight hours?" She looked at Fritz.
"Yea, you have, and I have appreciated everything you've told me, Brenda," Fritz said, standing up and wrapping his arms around her. "I know how difficult this is, and it means so much to me that you are sharing your past with me." He stroked her hair.
She leaned her head against his chest, struggling with her next words. "With you, I feel more comfortable talkin' about these things, which I never thought I would. I'm tellin' you stuff I've never told anyone before." Fritz held her even tighter and sighed, kissing her forehead.
"Brenda, that makes me feel so honored, it really does," he said, emotion in his voice. He pulled her away from him and looked into her eyes. "You know that you can tell me anything and it won't change with way I feel about you, okay? I mean that. I'm just having some violent urges toward Hart right now, which I think is a manly testosterone reaction, but I think I can control it." He stroked her cheek.
She disengaged from him and headed to the kitchen and opened another bottle of wine. "One more glass and that's it, I promise," she said to Fritz over her shoulder. He nodded assent.
"Only if you promise to sit next to me on the couch when you come back to the living room, okay?" Brenda nodded.
Full glass in hand she sat on the far end of the couch so could rest her back against the arm and face Fritz. She took a large gulp of Merlot before she sat it down on the coffee table.
"Where was I. Oh yea, recently divorced. The IA inquiry lasted two months, and then I was cleared of all charges and allowed to go back to work. John had been transferred to another division, which I guess was for the best. But there were a lot of rumors flyin' around, and people looked at me funny. Several of the men in the precinct asked me out, knowin' I was divorced and guessin' that I must be pretty easy. I made it very clear to anyone who approached me that I have no interest in dating a fellow cop, so they better back off. It was really awful, basically non-stop sexual harassment for the first several months I was back. And then people kinda forgot, but I never got the respect from my peers that I had before. My squad was great and gave me a lot of support. Oh, to have that now," she sighed.
"So anyways, about a year after all this mess, I was out at a bar with a friend of mine, just shootin' the breeze, not lookin' for anything. Patty was married, and I had sworn myself to celibacy. The waiter came over and brought me a glass of Merlot I didn't order, and said it was from the gentleman at the bar. I mean, how trite can you get. I looked over him and smiled, accepted the wine because, well, wine is a horrible thing to waste. The guy was good lookin,' but I wasn't interested. I was there to spend time with my girlfriend. A few minutes later the guy came over to me and introduced himself. His name was Peter Kelly*. He said that he didn't mean to interrupt our conversation, but he thought I looked like a very intererestin' woman, and he would love to take me out to dinner some time. He smiled and left me his business card, with his phone number on the back. He said it was up to me to give him a call, but he would really love to hear from me. Then he smiled and left.
"Well, Patty was so excited you woulda thought the guy left his card for her and not me. She then went into this long spiel about how it was time I got back to datin,' that I'm wastin' the best years of my life workin' all the time, and it can't hurt to call the guy and at least talk to him. The only way I got out of that bar and away from Patty was to promise her I'd call him the next day."
"Did you?" Fritz asked. "And if you did, how many glasses of Merlot did you drink to work up the courage?"
"Of course I called him, Fritz, or this would be a very short story. And I think I had only two glasses of wine, but I can't honestly remember. And stop makin' fun of me for havin' a drink or two to get through a tense conversation. I'm not good at talkin' to people if it's not work-related, if you haven't noticed." She frowned at him.
"I'm sorry Brenda, I didn't mean to sound judgmental. Go on."
She sighed. "So yea, I called the guy the next evenin' on his cell, and we talked for awhile. He seemed nice enough, and I could see from his business card that he worked for one of the major law firms in Atlanta, so he probably wasn't a psycho. I agreed to have dinner with him the following night. And one dinner led to another, and to another." Brenda reached down and took another swig from her glass.
"Peter was nice, very suave. He was genuinely interested in what I did, and was impressed that I was the head of Homicide. I mean, Hart always acted like he was a little embarrassed that his wife had a more important job, and made more money, then him. But Peter thought it was great I was high up in the Atlanta PD. He was a few years older than me, never married. He was funny and smart, and I had a fun time with him. He seemed to have been raised to respect women. Or at least I thought so at the time.
"Long story short, we dated for about six months. He understood the nature of my job and the long hours, because he worked long hours too. He never got upset if I had to cancel a date because of a homicide, he would just wish me luck and said he would catch me later. Everything was nice and loose, no commitment. And I have to admit, it was good to have a boyfriend around, someone to spend time with, and, well, you know." Brenda blushed. "I wasn't in love with him, and it felt like the perfect post-divorce relationship." She frowned. "The only thing I disliked was when I had to go with him to firm functions. He was really into showin' me off. He would buy me some incredibly expensive dress to wear, which I thought was silly because I had enough clothes, but he would beg me to wear what he got me. So I did, although they were usually more revealing than I normally wore. And then he would tell me if he liked my hair and my makeup, and if he didn't, he would ask me to change it for him. It was kinda annoying, really, but it wasn't that often, and just for firm functions. Every other time he saw me he told me I was beautiful, no matter what I was wearin'."
"Ooh, I will have to take you somewhere fancy so I can see you in of those revealing dresses," Fritz said, a twinkle in his eye.
Brenda rolled her eyes. "Men" she said. "You're all alike."
"No we're not," Fritz whispered. "Please know that. Not all of us are jerks." He looked at her.
"I know that Fritz, or at least I'm tryin' to believe it, but right now I'm tellin' you about the ones that are. And I don't have those dresses any more. I'll tell you what happened to them later."
She paused again to collect her thoughts. I am strong enough to do this, she told herself. I told him about Hart and I can tell him about Peter. She looked at Fritz, who reached over and grabbed her and squeezed it and let go. She pulled her hand away and rolled herself up in a ball as tightly as she could, and continued.
"So, what do you know, Will Pope called me out of the blue. I hadn't seen him in five years, and you could have knocked me over with a feather. He said he was comin' to Atlanta for a conference, and he would like to meet me for drinks. He was divorced from Anne and married to Estelle, and they just had their first kid. I really do think he told me this on the phone because he was afraid I'd see him and try to seduce him. What an ego he had. Well, I agreed to meet, because I thought that it might help me to exorcise some of my demons, or at least one big demon, so I agreed to meet him.
"Peter called me up and asked me out to dinner for the followin' night, which was when I had agreed to see Will. Not thinkin' anything of it, or that he would care, I told him I was havin' drinks with an old boyfriend from DC. I guess I shouldn't have referred to Will as my boyfriend, but again, Peter wasn't the jealous type, or at least I thought he wasn't.
"Well, Peter went nuts. It was the weirdest thing, completely Jekyll and Hyde. He asked all about Will, how long our relationship was, what exactly I was doin' with him tomorrow night. I assured him we were just meetin' for drinks at a hotel downtown, and all of a sudden I got real angry. It felt like a flashback, like I was assurin' Hart I wasn't havin' an affair all over again. I said a few choice words to him and then hung up the phone. To me, his temper tantrum meant I was gonna break up with him, because I didn't need complications like that in my life. I didn't have the strength to deal with male jealousy any more.
"Peter called me like a billon times that next day, but I ignored him. After I got the stressful meetin' with Pope out of the way, I would tell Peter it was over. But one thing at a time."
"What was it like seeing Pope again, five years after he ended it?" Fritz asked.
"I was pretty anxious about it. I didn't know if I would be angry or burst into tears or what. And before you ask, I had three glasses of Merlot before I met him to calm my nerves." She smiled sarcastically at Fritz. "But it actually wasn't that bad. I saw him and I had no feelin's whatsoever, just a wave of anger, but not enough to go over and punch him or anythin'. It was awkward at first, especially when he asked about my husband. He had heard about me gettin' married, but not divorced, so that was uncomfortable. But I told him about the whole ethics inquiry, and he was real sympathetic. Then he started showin' me pictures of his new baby girl, and I was amazed to see Will as mushy as that. I was thinkin' that maybe fatherhood will make him a little less of an ass. We both relaxed and talked about interestin' cases we have been workin' on, both of us makin' sure we didn't mention our relationship. Then out of the corner of my eye, I see Peter walkin' toward us. I couldn't believe it. When we were fightin' on the phone the day before, I must have told him the name of the hotel I was meetin' Pope at. So, Peter comes to the table and very politely introduces himself to Will as my boyfriend. Will, the jerk, said, 'oh, Brenda didn't tell me she had a boyfriend!" I wanted to stab him for sayin' that, because Peter gave me the look of death. Peter then went on to say that he was pickin' me up because we had dinner plans, and he was terribly sorry for interruptin' our conversation.
"So I had a choice. I could either tell Peter to go to hell, and risk creatin' a scene, especially since Peter appeared to have gone over the deep end or somethin'. I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of Will, dumb as that sounds. I had told him about Hart and the ethics inquiry; I didn't want him to know I now had a crazy boyfriend too. So I stood up and smiled, shook Will's hand, and apologized for havin' to leave so suddenly, and took Peter's outstretched arm. As soon as we were out of earshot, I planned to chew him a new one and tell him I never wanted to see him again."
Brenda reached down and drained her glass of Merlot. She really wished she had ignored Fritz and brought the entire bottle out with her. She shuttered slightly, and Fritz again took her hand. She pulled back, knowing she couldn't look at Fritz until she finished the story. Keeping control was going to be hard enough without seeing the look on Fritz's face.
"Well, I never quite got the chance. His car was parked right outside, and he literally threw me in the passenger's side. When I tried to get out, tellin' him my own car was there and I didn't want to go with him anyways, he just slammed the door on me, and I barely got my feet out of the way. Then he gets into the car and I can tell he's been drinkin'. He yelled at me to shut up, and he started drivin' away real fast. At this point I'm furious, and I'm tellin' him it's over and to let me out of the car right now. I told him he was crazy, and then he started yellin' at me, tellin' me I had no respect for him, that he didn't ask much of me at all, and for me to go an hook up with an old boyfriend was unforgivable. He went on to say he was sure that if he didn't come and get me I would end up sleepin' with Will, and that was so unfair to him he had to stop it. So I started yellin' back that if I wanted to sleep with Will it was my choice, it was done between us anyways, and boy, did that get him goin'. It was like I was in some parallel universe, with this guy who is Peter's evil twin. I mean, the guy never raised his voice to me, or acted crazy at all. And all of a sudden he's forcin' me into his car and drivin' 80 miles an hour to God knows where. I was really scared, because I didn't know who this guy was. And I didn't bring my gun with me, like an idiot. So I just closed my eyes and stopped listenin' to his screamin', and just prayed that everything was gonna work out OK. Cuz the way he was behavin' I wasn't sure, and I certainly worked enough murders of women killed by their partners to know that I could be one of them.
"After what felt like ages, he started to slow the car. I opened my eyes and we were in the middle of nowhere. We weren't in Atlanta anymore, but way out in the country surrounded by tobacco fields. I had no idea why he had taken me there, and got even more scared that he was gonna kill me." Brenda took a deep breath to try and slow her pulse, which was rising dangerously high as she told this story.
"He stopped the car, still screamin' at me, sayin' I wanted to get out of the car, so get out. Peter went around to the passenger's side and yanked me out. I had a split second to do some damage to him, so I kneed him in the groin. He doubled over and I started runnin, but there was no place to run to, and I was wearin' heals. He caught up with me in a couple of minutes and turned me around to look at him. He actually looked…sad. He said to me, no longer yellin' but in his normal voice, 'I gave you everything you wanted. I thought you were the one. And this is how you treat me. You have broken my heart' or some drivel like that. I retorted that he's given me nothin', and I hated him and never wanted to see him again. And then…" Brenda's throat constricted and she could barely force the words out. "I didn't see it comin'. All my CIA trainin' and I didn't see it comin'. He punched me across the face full force. The blow was so hard it knocked me to the ground, and I was stunned. He dragged me off the ground and then slapped me with the back of his hand a few times before lettin' me fall to the ground again. He stood there starin' at me, barely conscious, blood everywhere, and I thought there was more to come. But he just said to me, in his calm voice, he was sorry he had to punish me like this, but it was my own fault. And he turned around and walked back to the car and drove away, like nothing had happened." Brenda felt sick to her stomach, and she still didn't look at Fritz.
"So there I am, beat up and dizzy, and I had no idea where I was. Once I threw up a couple times, I slowly stood up and realized I could walk, not in a straight line or anythin', but I could walk. And I started to be able to think again, the shock of everything that happened wore off just a bit. I knew I had to get home and maybe get medical attention, because my nose felt like it might be broken. So I found my cell phone and thought about who I should call for help. I had girlfriends, but they were married and had families, and probably didn't have the time to drive around Georgia lookin' for me. So I decided, as much as I didn't want to, to call Daddy. He has an amazin' sense of direction, and knows the state of Georgia like the back of his hand. I go to call him, and guess what, no signal on my cell. I started to cry, feelin' so helpless and lost, until I decided wallowin' wasn't gonna help me get home. So I put my investigator's hat on to figure out what to do. As deserted as this place was, I figured there had to be a farmhouse around somewhere, so I started walkin'. I was wearin' heals, which weren't helpin', so I took them off and started to walk barefoot along the side of the gravel road. I walked for about an hour and a half before I spotted a farmhouse. The lights were out, but I was hopin' someone was home. I went up and knocked on the door, findin' my badge in my purse. It was pretty late by now, after 11pm, so I thought people might be asleep. And they were. After my third round of knockin,' an angry man came to the door, hollerin' about being woke up. He took one look at me and shut up. I showed him my badge and told him I was stranded and didn't know where I was, could he please let me borrow his phone? The guy yelled for his wife and she came down and gasped when she saw me. I didn't get through my speech about why I was there before she pulled me through the door and into the kitchen. She cleaned off my face and gave me ice to put over my bruises. She noticed my feet were all torn up from walking barefoot on gravel, and she washed them and bandaged them too. I can't tell you how kind she was. I asked to use her phone to call my daddy to come get me, and if one of them could get on the phone to give him directions, I would appreciate it.
So I called home, and Daddy answered the phone, mad for me wakin' up him and Momma. I said as straightforward as I could that Peter and I had a big fight, and he had stranded me somewhere outside of Atlanta, and could he please come and get me? He asked why I wasn't callin' someone in my squad for help. I had to tell him Peter beat me up, and I didn't want anyone in my squad to see me like this. I started cryin,' my Daddy started swearin', and the two strangers looked at me, horrified. It was just awful. So I put the husband on the phone to give Daddy directions, and then started to cry even harder. The woman—I can't remember her name—brought me water and aspirin, and asked if I would like to lie down on the couch while I waited for my father. She made me a bed on the sofa, and I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew someone was knockin' on the door, and it was Daddy. I tell ya, I have never been more relieved to see someone in my life. He took one look at me and swore, but held it together enough to thank the people who took me in. I always regretted not getting their names and sendin' a thank you card to them. They really were my lifesavers that night.
"So Daddy asked me what happened, and I told him. I could see how mad he was, but he was holdin' back his rantin' and ravin' because it was clear I was too upset to hear it. He drove me straight to the ER, and it turned out my nose was broken. By the time we got outta there is was like 5am, and Daddy took me home. Momma was up, took one look at me, and started cryin'. I was so worn out by then that I couldn't even cry. Since I was worried Peter might try to come to my house, I stayed with my parents for a couple of weeks. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? In my thirties and still runnin' to my parents to take care of me." Brenda finally ventured a look at Fritz. She was afraid she was going to see pity in his eyes, but instead he looked almost nauseous, pale and sweaty.
"And thing is, I was so angry at myself. Still am. I'm trained to read people, and yet I didn't see Peter for what he was, a batterer. I mean, how could I have missed the signs? How could I possibly have been so blind? The whole dressin' me up thing, dictatin' what I wore and how I looked, that was real controllin' behavior, but for some reason I just shrugged it off." She felt her eyes tearing up, this time, she didn't bother to try and stop her them. Tears rolled down her cheeks while she tried to pull her mind away from that dark night. She would never forget the fear and the shock and the blood, and the cut of gravel into her bare feet as she walked that deserted road, looking up at the crystal stars and feeling more alone than she ever had. Fritz get up from the couch, and he returned quickly with two things she needed: a Kleenex and the Merlot bottle. He poured her another glass and handed it to her.
"You probably need this," he said softly.
Brenda looked at the full glass: it was tempting, and maybe another glass would numb some of the pain she was in, but she wanted to be stronger than that. She had to be able to tell Fritz this terrible story and not have to drink three bottles of Merlot to do it. She shook her head and Fritz sat it on the coffee table.
"Brenda, none of what happened was your fault, none of it. We both know batterers are often very charming men, which is what it sounds like Peter was. Until he got jealous and felt out of control, and then his abusive side came out. I know you have heard women who have been beaten by men blame themselves, don't do the same. You did nothing to deserve it. I'm sure you weren't the first woman he hit."
She wiped her nose and shook her head. "No, I ran him through the system after that. Peter had been arrested about five years before for beating up a girlfriend. She went in the next day and pleaded his case, and the charges were dropped."
"So, I'm sure you turned him in and things weren't so easy this time, huh?"
Brenda shifted uncomfortably. "Well no, not exactly. I didn't file charges against him." She couldn't meet Fritz's eyes.
"What?" He sounded shocked and a little angry, like she knew he would. "Why, Brenda, did you let this guy get away with hurting you?"
She held up her hand. "I didn't say he got away with it. But I didn't file charges, no. You have to understand, Fritz, what the Atlanta PD was like. I told you that I was harassed pretty badly after my ethics inquiry, and never had the same level of respect from my peers again. Well, I am sure someone would delight in findin' a police report showin' Captain Johnson's boyfriend beat her up. A cop who can't defend herself. I can guarantee you that would make the rounds for sure. And I just didn't have the energy to deal with any more grief from work, and this was way too personal to have people jokin' about it, like I knew they would."
"Brenda, that's horrible. It sounds like you worked with the biggest bunch of assholes."
She nodded. "Welcome to the world of bein' a female police officer."
He was quiet for a second. "You said he didn't get away with it, though. What do you mean?"
"Well, when I went back to work a couple of days later, I had to tell some story, so I said I was playin' baseball with my brothers and got a line drive to my face. The bandage to my broken nose covered a lot of the bruisin', and I spent a small fortune on cover up makeup, so my squad seemed to buy it, and were teasin' me all day 'bout stayin' away from the Major Leagues.
"There was a female officer in my squad, Detective Dodd, whom I liked very much. She was real down to earth, several years older than me, and we got on well. She came into my office and shut the door. She told me her ex-husband used to beat her, and she knows a battered face and a shaky story when she saw one. Without even pausin' to let me lie again, she asked me what happened, and I went ahead and gave her the abbreviated version. She understood why I didn't press charges, though it made her angry that Peter was gonna get away with this. She had an idea for a little bit of payback, and I agreed to it. She called her partner, Detective Romano, into the room and quickly told him what happened. Detective Romano owed me one, so I knew I could trust both of them not to tell anyone about what really happened to my face."
"Detective Romano owed you one? Did you push him out of the way of a bullet or something?" asked Fritz.
Brenda smiled. "In a manner of speakin.' One night I just happened to be downtown near this gay bar, and I saw Romano outside kissin' his boyfriend. He wasn't 'out,' and sure didn't want anyone at the PD to find out about him bein' gay. He was very grateful as his boss that I couldn't have cared less, and I would never tell anyone. So yea, he owed me one.
"So, Detectives Dodd and Romano went down to Peter's big law firm and walked right in, demandin' to know where he was. Their timin' was perfect, because he was in a conference room full of clients and a few partners. They announced very loudly that they needed to talk to Mr. Kelly about the felony he had committed the other night. Well, he got outta that room real fast and into his office. Romano and Dodd got into his face and made it sound like I had filed charges, and was only willin' to consider droppin' them if he promised never to come near me again. And if he did, they would be back, this time to arrest him for felony assault and kidnappin'. They told him that an attack on a fellow officer makes cops pretty testy, and he wasn't gonna enjoy the strip search in jail after he got booked, and judges don't look to favorably on someone who hurts one of their own. And they made it clear that if they ever hear that he as so much as gave a dirty look to another woman, that they would be right back to haul him into jail. He was shakin' by the time they were done, agreein' to anything so he wouldn't get cuffed and hauled away in front of his colleagues. And as the icin' on the cake, on their way out the door Detective Romano turned around and said, in this boomin' voice so everyone heard it, that Mr. Kelly was a batterer, and all the women in the firm should stay far away from him. I know one of the partners was a woman, so I imagine that didn't go over too big."
"That's great, Brenda. It's good you had people that stood up for you. But did he listen? Did he ever come near you again?"
She shook her head. "Nope. Peter cared a lot about his career, and he knew he could get disbarred for a felony if the charges didn't get pleaded down, so I never saw him again. He sent me a box with some personal belongin's I left at his house, with no note or anything."
An evil glint in her eye, she said, "oh, I sent him a package too. I took all those $500 dresses he bought me and cut them up into little shreds. It kinda pained me to do that, because they were nice and more expensive than anything I could afford, but there was no way I was ever gonna wear them again. So I sent him a box of chopped up dresses, no note." She allowed herself to feel smug for a minute. In cutting up those dresses, she took out some of her humiliation and fury toward Peter. Destroying tangible objects of his subtle attempt to control her made her feel strong again, if only for a few minutes. She kept a couple pieces of fabric, a red satin brocade and a forest green velvet, in her drawer, to remind her of what it felt like to have a man take away her dignity like that, and how she was tough enough to get away. Whenever she had a dark night where sleep was impossible because she was surrounded by the ghosts that haunted her, she would take those bits of fabric out and hold them in her hand, as if they were a talisman to ward away horrible memories. I am strong, I am strong, she would chant to herself like a mantra. If only her fears were as easily destroyed as those expensive gowns.
Fritz asked quietly, "was that enough justice for you?"
"It had to be," she said. "I couldn't get much more, not without gettin' hurt all over again. And a few months later, Will called about the new position in Priority Homicide, and Atlanta was startin' to collect too many bad memories, so I moved here. And the rest is history."
Fritz didn't respond. They sat in silence for a few minutes, both lost in their thoughts. Finally Fritz slipped down on his knees in front of Brenda, and took both of her hands in his.
"Brenda, I just have to tell you there's nothing in the world that would ever make me hurt you like those other men." Brenda could tell he was getting choked up. He squeezed her hands tighter. "You are too precious to me to ever hurt. I promise you that, with my whole heart." Brenda looked into his dark eyes, sparkling with unshed tears.
"Oh Fritz," she said, with the weariness of someone who has suffered too much too soon, "don't you understand? Every man in my life has told me that exact same thing. And see what happened."
Fritz looked pained, and Brenda had a hard time looking at him. But he was so earnest that she couldn't turn away. "Brenda Leigh Johnson," he said, his voice wavering, "I fell for you ten years ago in DC. If I have to wait another ten years to earn your trust, I'll do it. It would be a small price to pay for being allowed in your heart."
She had to look away, the intensity was blinding, and the raw emotion behind his words was too much. She suddenly felt completely exhausted. "Fritz, I'm goin' to bed, I'm beat." She let go of his hands, stood up, and started walking towards the bathroom. She noticed he wasn't following, perhaps unsure he was invited to spend the night. She turned back and looked at him, still crouched on the floor. "You comin?"
Brenda brushed her teeth, put on a long tee-shirt, and collapsed into bed. She set the alarm, and a couple of minutes later, she was joined by Fritz, clad only in only his boxers, as usual. She turned out the light and lay down on her back. She heard Fritz sigh, low and quiet, and felt the tenseness in his body. She rolled over on her side and propped herself up on her elbow, bringing her face very close to his. Even in the darkness, she could see his beautiful dark eyes. She reached out and stroked his cheek, and he looked grateful for her touch.
"Thank you for listenin' to all of that," Brenda whispered. It's hard to talk about, so I'm sure it's hard to hear."
Fritz reached up a took a strand of her hair and twisted it around his finger. "I'm sorry if I pushed to much, Brenda, I really am. I had no idea."
"It's okay Fritzy," she said, and it was. As exhausted and emotionally raw as she was, part of her felt a little lighter. Painful secrets are cruel masters, and perhaps telling someone about them takes some of their power away, she thought.
She reached down to give him the lightest of kisses on his lips. "Goodnight, Fritz. Sweet dreams." After she kissed him she looked into his eyes, and something compelled her to kiss him again, this time slower. She felt her body respond, and was amazed that she could have any sexual feelings as chafed as she felt. She could tell by the way that Fritz kissed her back that he wanted her, but he made no move to touch her. She deepened the kiss, and Fritz moaned. And suddenly she wanted to make love to him desperately. She needed to connect with him, knowing that it would be salve to her bruised heart. She moved on top of him and at last he responded, burying one hand in her hair and slipping another up her tee-shirt to caress her back. And Brenda thought, before passion took away her ability to do so, that at least tonight, the ghosts will be kept at bay.

Exclusive - Post-Fukushima nuclear generation could fall 15 pct
The Fukushima disaster could lead to a 15 percent fall in world nuclear power generation by 2035 when power demand may rise by 3.1 percent a year, according to a draft copy of the International Energy Agency's 2011 World Energy Outlook.
Following Fukushima, many countries put their nuclear power policies on hold or under review and some, including Germany and Switzerland, opted out of the technology entirely.
The draft, obtained by Reuters ahead of the publication's launch next week, said it had developed a Low Nuclear Case that assesses possible implications for global energy balances of a much smaller role for nuclear power.
The draft was dated July 2011, and the IEA is scheduled to release the publication in London on Wednesday.
In the Low Nuclear Case, the total amount of nuclear power capacity falls from 393 gigawatt (GW) at the start of 2011 to 339 GW in 2035, compared with an increase to 638 GW in the New Policies Scenario, the report said, a drop of around 15 percent.
The report's main scenario is the New Policies Scenario.
The report said its Low Nuclear Case was not a forecast, but is intended to illustrate what a pessimistic view of the prospects for the nuclear power industry might entail.
The share of nuclear power in total generation drops from 13 percent today to just 7 percent in 2035, with implications for energy security, fuel-mix diversity, spending on energy imports and energy-related CO2 emissions.
The report said that Fukushima had shaken the country's energy sector and that the prospects for nuclear power are now much more uncertain than before the Fukushima nuclear accident and that it had greatly increased the uncertainty about the future role of nuclear power in meeting the world's energy needs.
The IEA report said that the drops in nuclear generation caused a rise in oil- and gas-fired power generation.
The incremental demand for oil in Japan's power sector in 2011 is estimated between 150 and 200 thousand barrels per day while demand for LNG (liquefied natural gas) is expected to rise by 11 billion cubic metres (bcm), the report said.
This equalled about 0.2 percent of global oil supplies and 0.4 percent of natural gas supplies, according to the report.
The report said that global energy prices dropped back shortly after the Fukushima-induced rise, and that in the longer-term, it expected natural gas prices to drop.
Our natural gas price assumptions have been revised downwards because of improved prospects for the commercial production of unconventional gas resources, the IEA said.
In its key New Policies Scenario, the report said it expected natural gas prices to reach $12 per million British thermal units (MBtu) in Europe, $14 per MBtu in the Pacific, and $9 per MBtu in North America by 2035.
This compares with 13.3 MBtu, 15.3 MBtu and $10.4 MBtu respectively in the IEA's previous price outlook for 2035.
In the same scenario, the report said it expected world electricity demand to rise from 17,200 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2009 to almost 31,500 TWh in 2035, at an annual growth rate of 2.3 percent.
The report said that total investment into the power sector between 2011 and 2035 would be $16.8 trillion.
Renewable energy technologies, led by hydropower and wind, account for half of this additional capacity and 60 percent of the investment in power generation, the report said.
The resulting growth in output from renewables is equivalent to 45 percent of the total electricity generation between 2009 and 2035.
The report said it expected non-hydro renewables to generate 16 percent of global electricity in 2035, up from 3 percent in 2009.
Natural gas power generation was expected to remain constant around 22 percent.
The IEA also said it expected steam coal prices to rise to $110 a tonne (in year-2010 dollar value) by 2035, up from an average of $99 a tonne in 2010.
The report said that while it expected coal's share in global power generation to drop by 8 percent to 33 percent, it would remain the largest source of electricity.
CO2 emissions in the power sector increased by over one-fifth between 2009 and 2035, growing more slowly than demand as a result of increased use of low-carbon energy sources and improved plant efficiency.
Prices for carbon allowances within the European Union were expected to rise to 31 euros a tonne by 2020, to 41 euros in 2030, and to 46 euros per tonne by 2035, the report said.
Overall, the report said that energy import bills would rise in line with higher import requirements.
The IEA's full WEO outlook report is due to be published on Wednesday, November 9.

I was going to guess Pnina as well. It looks like a relatively common silhouette so I would think you can probably find something pretty similar.

Here's an update on Rainier. He currently is taking four medications for his pemphigus, the auto-immune disease. The medications have made a major difference in Rainier's health. The tip of his nose is still a little raw, but certainly without blood. Soaking his kibble longer makes his food very soft which has given the inside of his mouth time to heal. He still bumps into things, but he is learning to keep his nose pointed down so that he bumps his forehead and not his nose. It hasn't been easy dealing with his issues, but he always seems to be smiling and when he wags that huge fluffy tail your heart just melts. So, how can I resist? He's always in a good mood.
Like all of my shepherds, Rainier likes to follow me around the yard. This is good exercise for him and he certainly needs that. The prednisone has made weight loss difficult. Any new exercise for the big fluffy dog is welcome! Well, maybe. His latest thing is chasing the peacocks. I had heard that he used to chase chickens, but because he is blind, I wasn't very concerned about my birds. The first time Rainier was distracted by the peacocks I stopped dead in my tracks. How awful it would be if he actually caught a peacock or one of the chicks! But after watching Rainier on several occasions, it seems unlikely that he'll ever catch one. The birds cluck, cluck, cluck when frightened as warning to the rest of the flock. Apparently Rainier focuses on that sound because I see him following the birds, weaving between vehicles and around the walls without bumping into anything. The peacocks look like roadrunners as they trot ahead of the fluffy dog. When Rainier gets too close, the birds fly up and away. They don't fly far, only about twenty feet, but definitely out of reach. Rainier stops and turns his head. When he hears the clucking of another bird, his tail flies up as if a flag at a NASCAR Race and he trots off after the new sound. Around and around the driveway they go until Rainier becomes winded. Then he has to come into the house to rest and catch his breath. That old adage about exercise is true for Rainier: he does it longer and with more enthusiasm when it's fun.

Author Tags: Forestry
DATE OF BIRTH: July 29 1947
PLACE OF BIRTH: Vancouver B.C.
Gord Barney moved to Ladysmith on Vancouver Island at a very young age. His father George was a faller for MacMillan Bloedel, at Copper Canyon, and Nanaimo River camps for 31 years. Gord went to work in the woods at age 16, as did a lot of young men around Ladysmith at that time. The jobs were many and he chose the forest industry. He started work punking whistles and then worked on the riggin', moving upward until he was a machine operator. He logged up and down the West Coast of British Columbia, on the Queen Charlotte Islands and in many of the small logging camps on the Central Coast. He always drew cartoons as a young man and then put them to use, drawing caricatures of his logging buddies and made fun of some of the woods bosses. Throughout the years he also wrote down stories that he heard in the bunkhouse on scraps of paper and then later copied them on to a computer disk. His attempt at making a book, Timberbeasts of the Great Bear Rain Forest, was a great hit with all the loggers who have read it. Gord worked in the forest industry until he retired at age 55. He lives in Ladysmith, near his two sons, Clay and Martin. He has drawn many logging cartoons and submits written material regularly to the IWA Green Gold Newspaper.
Camp Inspector: Tales Of B.C. Logger (Fir Grove Publishing 2007)
Haywire, From the Cookshack to the Tailblocks (First Choice Publishing 2011) More Tales of a B.C. Logger
Glossary of Logging Terms of British Columbia (Cobble Hill: Fir Grove Publishing 2012) $18 plus $4 postage
[BCBW 2012] "Forestry"
Press Release (2011)
Gord Barney is one of a dying breed of man.
A big barrel-chested brute, Barney, suspenders and all, is a walking encyclopedia for the logging industry having served in nearly all facets the industry has to offer.
Logging is in his blood, having grown up watching his father fall trees to keep the family fed.
The self-taught grapple yarder operator has met a lot of different people and has collected a lot of different stories.
Now retired, Barney resents the fact the industry he grew to love and cherish has changed from one of camaraderie and good times to corporate greed and bottom lines.
In the spirit of capturing the glory days, Barney has just released a new book Haywire: From The Cook-shack to the Tail-blocks More Tales of a B.C. Logger.
It starts out with my fathers life and then my life, then all the characters I ran into all through the years, said Barney. And boy, I ran into some characters, let me tell you.
When he took all his material to his publisher, Tom Paterson, the amount of stories Barney had was enough to fill two books.
The second book is not actually my life story, its the stories that were left over, said Barney. There are stories of my dad in there, too.
Barneys cartoons and caricatures of bosses can likely still be found in some camps and mills up and down the coast.
Barneys colorful yarns include tales like a close call with some local muscle while playing pool in the Queen Charlottes.
He must have weighed 400 lb., I guess, said Barney. We knew we might be in a bit of trouble
In his new book, Barney recounts the time he and his father watched a neighbour's cow flee their corn field in Saltair with its owner still holding on. That thing went out through the gate and was headed for Chemainus.
Barney fondly remembers his time as a tree faller which he preferred to life in a sawmmill hanging out with his co-workers and being outdoors.
We drank lots and partied lots and chased lots of girls, now all I can do is write about it.
Barney said the changing demands on loggers going farther, less pay, producing more prompted him to get out early. "The same camaraderie and joking and fun just wasnt there anymore.
Barneys books are available at Salamander Books in Ladysmith, the Ladysmith and District Historical Society or through himself at 202-219 Dogwood Drive Ladysmith V9G 1S9. He is charging $25 for Camp Inspector and $22 for Haywire plus $4 postage or $40 for the both plus postage.

ITworld.com –
Nokia Corp. has followed Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson in demonstrating call hand-over from new mobile broadband Internet networks to existing digital mobile networks.
On Friday, Nokia and Italian mobile operator Vodafone Omnitel SpA successfully performed a voice call hand-over between a 3G (third-generation) network, based on WCDMA (Wideband Code Divisional Multiplex Access) technology, and a voice-centric GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) network, the Finnish mobile handset and infrastructure manufacturer said in a statement.
"The seamless interworking of WCDMA technology with a commercial GSM network confirms that WCDMA networks are becoming ready for large-scale launches," said Tuula Putkinen, a spokeswoman for Nokia.
In September, Ericsson demonstrated call hand-over between a test 3G network set up by the vendor in Sweden using frequencies allocated to local operator HI3G Access AB and the commercial GSM network of Telia Mobile AB, according to Ericsson spokesman Peter Olofsson.
Call hand-over between 3G and GSM networks is crucial, especially in the early phase of 3G network deployment because coverage will be limited initially to metropolitan areas. Customers with dual-mode, 3G-GSM handsets who travel outside of 3G cells will be able to use their phones to make and receive calls on GSM networks without interruption.
Currently, call hand-over service is commercially unavailable in Europe because most operators are still in the early stages of building their 3G networks, said spokespeople from both Nokia and Ericsson.
Finland's Sonera Corp., which had hoped to launch commercial 3G service this year, has delayed service until the first half of 2003.
Austria's Mobilkom Austria AG & Co. KG., which is in a "soft" (experimental) 3G launch phase, doesn't yet provide call hand-over, said Olofsson. Ericsson supplies wireless equipment to Mobilkom.
"The pure complexity of having two different systems interact without dropping calls can't be underestimated," Olofsson. "There are many technical parameters that must work to avoid service interruption."
Some analysts have their doubts about the call hand-over tests. "Call hand-over has been demonstrated in the lab and now in tests involving the operators but it hasn't really been tested in the field with heavy traffic loads," said Bena Roberts, wireless analyst with Current Analysis Inc. "We won't know if this service really works until the 3G networks go live and generate traffic. I have my doubts."

This paper documents the rise of entrepreneurs in rural Tibet, a process that started in the 1980s and then gained considerable momentum in the wake of China's Develop the West Campaign that was launched in 2000. The authors describe economic transformations in rural Tibet from 1959 to the present, and present case studies of entrepreneurs to show how some Tibetans are capitalizing on new economic opportunities that stem both directly and indirectly from the government's development policies. Whereas many critics allege that China's development initiatives do not benefit rural Tibetans, or do so only marginally, today's rural entrepreneurs illustrate how some Tibetans are successfully negotiating the new matrix of opportunities. However, because Tibet's economy is highly dependent on government investments, it is unclear whether the increase in entrepreneurial activities is sustainable over the long-term. Nevertheless, the case studies presented in this paper demonstrate several entrepreneurial pathways to upward mobility that are currently available, including farm-based initiatives, construction contracting, cottage industry, and retail business.

Welcome to the war zone.
When they say that war changes a man, they're being euphemistic. War makes a man insane by civilian standards. When the man comes back, he may return to civilian norms again. After a while. I'm not proud of many of the things that happened in Nam. I'm not proud of some of the things I did myself. But the men I served with were, for the most part, doing the best job they could with the cards they'd been dealt. I'm proud of them, and I'm proud to have been among them. Anybody's got a right to criticize the things that happened. But don't criticize the men who did them unless you've been in their shoes. Ever since I came back, the object of my military fiction has been to put somebody as normal as you, or as I was, into a war zone. And I hope to God neither you nor your son ever has an opportunity to compare my fiction with the real thing. A shorter edition of this book was published under the title The Military Dimension.

"decent collection, terrible narrator"
I like this collection of short stories I also own a paper copy however the narrator was terrible. wild character voices were possible the voice of narration was filled with an arch sarcastic tone that fitted The Importance of Being Earnest perhaps but not a series of military short stories I finally gave up listening to it because I couldn't stand the narration

A microchip can SAVE the life of your pet. It is your pet's phone call home. The majority of animal shelters, humane societies and veterinarians scan every lost animal that comes to their facility. At CAP, every lost animal who comes to our shelter is scanned, and, if a microchip is found, the owner is contacted immediately.
Microchipping is quick and relatively painless. The microchip is approximately the size of a grain of rice. It is inserted under the skin, much like a vaccine, at the base of the neck and between the shoulder blades. It is made out of an inert ingredient so it should not affect the animal (talk to your veterinarian about any concerns you may have.) The tissue should begin growing around the chip within 24 hours. Once inserted, a scanner will identify a code number which is linked to information about the pet's owner. It may take several days to register the microchip and your information with the program, but after that there is nothing else to be done except informing the microchip provider of your new address if you should move. Your pet is identified for the rest of his or her life.
At Citizens for Animal Protection, every adopted cat and dog over 4 months of age is microchipped and registered through Pet Point's 24PetWatch which is a national pet recovery program. The microchip number is registered in Pet Point's 24 Hour Pet-Watch national registry which can be accessed by CAP employees. The microchip can be scanned at any veterinary clinic or animal shelter that has a scanner. If your animal were to get lost, he/she can be reunited with you anywhere throughout the USA.
CAP provides microchip services daily to the public for the low cost of $30.00 from 10AM-6PM daily.
Whether you have your pet microchipped at CAP or at your veterinary clinic, please have it done......
A microchip is your pet's phone call home!!!!

Installed cap on 96 Accord. The screws that came with the old cap had a retainer to keep them in the cap. This one does not have that feature, be careful when you start the screws as not to drop them. I placed a rag under the cap just in case. The gasket that came with the kit did not seem to fit in the groove 100% perhaps it was because it came coiled up in the package. I used a drop of RTV to hold the gasket in the grove. Also on the top there are 2 indents for the gasket to fit into the metal body. The tabs did not fit 100%. I also used a dap of RTV to seal these as well. A decent product for the price paid.

*Update: It was an honor and a privilege to lead this tour today; particularly so due to the fact it was the BoW's 150th anniversary and for the connection my family has to Waynesboro, the BoW and the battlefield itself. It was truly a day I'll remember for the rest of my life. There was a also a fairly good crowd - all things considered. I'll be posting some detailed comments and photos soon. Many thanks to Terry Heder and the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation for including me in their sesquicentennial commemoration.

April 27, 2010
by Michael E. Ware '11
On March 26, 27, and 28, the Minority Student Union celebrated the 20th Black Alumni Mentorship Reunion Weekend. This is always a very big event on the Hampden-Sydney College campus, when Black alumni come back to celebrate the past and the future with the student members of the Minority Student Union. The reunion weekend gives students a chance to get to know, on a personal level, their older brothers of MSU and gives alumni the opportunity to interact with students and to learn about current activities at Hampden-Sydney.
The weekend began with a cookout on Friday at the MSU house. During the cookout the alumni met and mingled with students and enjoyed a great meal.
The following day began with an alumni-panel discussion in Crawley Forum about making the transition from college to the real world and the connections between Hampden-Sydney College and the corporate world.
After this we moved to the Commons where we enjoyed lunch and talked informally. Questionnaires were handed out concerning such issues as which African-American males preferred to be called: African American, Black, or Negro and what we as Black men want to do in the future. We discussed these topics for an hour.
After lunch there was a break before the Alumni vs. Students Basketball Game, which the students won for only the second time in ten years.
A reception hosted by President and Mrs. Howard at Middlecourt was followed by a dinner in Snyder Hall. There were four speakers at the dinner: Dr. Robert Rogers (left), former faculty advisor to The Brothers which preceded the MSU; Randy Williams '96, Dean of Students at NC Weslyen College; President Christopher Howard, and Jeffery Harris '90, who organized the first Black Alumni Reunion. These men urged us to be the best that we can be and to have pride in our place in the strong family of Hampden-Sydney College.
Jeffery Harris (left) was awarded a recognition plaque by the students. Charles Wesley '10, Anthony Johnson '10, Orlander Fleming '10 , and Jamar Lovelace '10 presented all the speakers with gifts. Finally the students and alumni moved over to Crawley Forum to enjoy the annual MSU party held on Black Alumni Weekend. This gave the alumni and students a chance to let loose, have fun, and communicate with one another before the weekend came to a close.
On Sunday morning, Tony Moore '07 led the worship service at the College Church. A number of alumni and students were there for this closing event.

Moroccan King Mohammed VI arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam on the same day I was departing, an indication of the level of clientele the property caters to. Once a collection of six patrician houses built during the Golden Age, Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam is now a luxurious hotel situated on the UNESCO heritage protected Herengracht canal, the city's oldest.
Just because earth day is only 24 hours, doesn't mean you should run right out and fuel up your private jet without a care in the world tomorrow. But if you must, you can take solace in knowing that your luxury hotel of choice may have already adopted some pretty unassuming ways to care for both you and the environment during your stay.
Located near the Royal Botanical Gardens and just steps from the Opera House, the Rocks, and Circular Quay, is The InterContinental Sydney, a beautiful hotel inside a 19th century New South Wales Treasury building. The restored structure—complete with the original wrought iron elevator—creates an inspiring meeting spot called The Cortile, where patrons come to admire the architecture and meet for drinks, nibbles, or a lavish afternoon tea.
Coachella, the annual music and arts festival in Indio, California is considered one of the best in the country. It is also the fourth most-attended in the nation with around 180,000 people visiting each year. As a southern California resident, Coachella is my jam. I've been enough times to know that by the end the three-day weekend your body is exhausted (and a whole lot dustier).
Wroclaw, Poland's fourth largest city, is hosting a full slate of events this year connected to its designation as European Cultural Capital 2016. Located in the southwestern part of the country, the "Venice of Poland" is roughly a three-hour drive from Berlin, Prague, Dresden and Krakow.
Upon entering your suite at One&Only Palmilla in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, your dedicated butler will immediately offer you tequila while he gets you get situated in the room. That's because all 174 rooms and suites come with a bottle of aged reposado as a welcome amenity. The tequila has been aged for 12 months in white oak barrels and sits neatly next to little wells of sea salt and freshly-cut limes.
Is it just us or did Easter sneak up on you too? With visions of Cadbury eggs, pastel color schemes and Champagne brunches filling our minds, it may have come early, but we're definitely ready to celebrate. Across the globe, hotels are commemorating the holiday with plenty of activities for the little ones and festive dining options on Sunday.
It's pretty safe to assume that as a child you had dreams of one day living in and owning your own castle (thanks, Disney). Although we may have grown out of our illusions of being royalty ourselves, there's still a level of intrigue that comes with sleeping inside a place with so much history.
Since Raffles Singapore Hotel opened in 1887, it has seen the surrounding area grow from a colonial trading center under the rule of the British Empire to a thriving independent modern city-state. The hotel's historian Leslie Danker will happily tell you about the property's many famous guests over the years, including statesmen, entertainers and royalty.
Acquired in a $6.5 billion deal this week, Hotel del Coronado was sold to Chinese-based Anbang Insurance Group along with 16 other properties under the Strategic Hotels & Resorts brand. This deal comes just three months after Blackstone Group LP purchased the Strategic brand for around $450 million.

The Smugglers' Cave was the name given to a small area of a tunnel that connected Polly Plummer's house to Digory Kirke's, and the rest of the houses on the row.
The Smugglers' Cave was accessed through a small door in Polly's box-room attic, which led to a cistern. The tunnel was found behind the cistern, which could be reached by climbing.
The tunnel was dark, with a brick wall on one side and sloping roof on the other. The slates on the roof were, apparently, uneven, and little chunks of light could be seen between them.
The Smugglers' Cave was the small area of the tunnel located just beside the cistern.
Polly's Hideout
Since there was no floor in the tunnel that was safe to walk on, only rafters with plaster between them, Polly had to lay out various items, such as old packing cases and seats of broken chairs...etc, to create a type of floor.
She kept numerous items in the Smugglers' Cave, such as her cash box, a story she was writing, some apples and a few ginger-beer bottles (the bottles were apparently what made it look more like a Smugglers' Cave).
She introduced this area to her new friend Digory after they met, and he started to use the cave as well. Their use of this cave prompted them to eventually explore the rest of the tunnel, which led them to accidentally enter Uncle Andrew's study.
