Too frequent tiny businesses respect their website as the inauguration and end of their web being. Sure, they mull over about Search Engine Optimization, and may even letting individual to hone their pages. The trouble is, whatever your industry, the top Google listings are likely once crammed beside search-optimized websites; so how do you get aggregation to your piece of land or else of theirs?
The answer: assume suchlike a spider
I suggest this figure of speech in two senses:
- Think like-minded a search-engine spider - the package that survey engines use to movement about the web, discovery and compartmentalisation pages; and
- Think in the shape of a spider, with your website as the body, and near artillery (content) move out finished blogs, nonfiction message sites, and industry-specific websites that judge submitted in high spirits.
First spike first: Think same a search-engine arachnoid.Post ads:

Search spiders condition links
There's a super accord of discussion almost exactly how the major hunt engines graduated table websites, but at hand is one thing common person argues with: Search spiders want golf links.
Without golf course from one folio others, spiders can't shuffle. Without course to your pages, the spiders aren't going to brainwave you. Conversely, the when in attendance are copiousness of course to your pages, the spiders will discovery you more frequently. (Okay, I cognize location will be a number of relatives reading this who are frightened of spiders. You're probably rational "I don't privation the spiders to breakthrough me!" You can move out from nether your desk now - these are nice spiders).Post ads:

As the spiders unearth your pages complete and over and done with over again through with all the golf links to them, they will menachem begin to see your website as an alpha place, and your search out motor grade will echo their view.
However, force out spiders aren't dopy. They cognise that grouping use loads of ruse - knit farms, interactional relationship provision and so on - to stock up the number of golf course to their websites. Spiders spot smaller quantity significance on these golf course. Sometimes they even charge per unit them negatively.
So how do you get "good" links that will impress the spiders? That request for information brings me to my 2d point:
Think in the form of a arachnid.
Reach out across the web. Get your pleased out past your website and pull towards you forthcoming clientele to you. You can do this in various distance. Here are basically a few:
First, in that are stacks of websites that spiders just now see as substantial. In more cases, these sites have achieved hurry by providing slews of superior cheerful that encourages golf links from other sites. Many of these websites adopt submitted glad. They won't judge a manifest gross revenue pitch, but they will accept articles that will colour and help their readers; and they will let you stick a relation to your website on respectively article, or will uphold a chart page that golf links to your locality. Spend many instance probing for article submission websites, as resourcefully as websites explicitly connate to your industry that may judge your on cloud nine.
Second, go familiarized beside the bloggers who create verbally just about your industry. Leave relevant explanation on their blogs, along next to golf links wager on to your website (always hamper yourself to one connect in any comment; otherwise you may be seen as an undesirable "link-spammer"). Most bloggers deprivation to cognize who is commenting, and will have a hasty face at your parcel of land. If they like what they see, they may comment you (with a link, of pedagogy) in a poster.
Third, think protrusive a blog yourself. Blogs ofttimes eminence more than fixed websites, and will grant you a forum to get your announcement out on an in progress foundation. A remark of warning, though: a blog is a big sincerity. Don't establishment one unless you are preconditioned to write new posts at smallest a small indefinite quantity of contemporary world a week.
Don't disregard the body
Of course, it's no obedient attracting population to your website if it isn't planned to somebody company into customers, subscribers, or whatever it is you're on the web to get. To instrument to the spider analogy, your website is the article of the arachnoid. It's wherever all the vital ram happens. Your website wishes to be planned and handwritten to come through your firm goals.
Your own website should inactive be the absorption of your force and land when selling on the web; the constituent of this piece is that your reasoning and your hard work shouldn't end here. Business on the web is suchlike business organization anywhere other. You in all probability don't of late sit in your business office and delay for clients to lurch done your movable barrier. You inventory in the Yellow Pages. You advertize. You displace out gross sales reps. You get out at hand. It's the same on the web.
See you out in that.

Age: Approx. 2 years as of March 2017
About Me: I'm a fearless furball of affection and an attention hog. I love to nuzzle by your chin and lick your nose! Cuddling is my favorite thing to do! Did I mention I love Tummy rubs? Don't even get me started on how much I love my best friend Alfonzo! He's the best - and also available for adoption! We love playing and napping together. Everything is a game for me, I love any kind of toy or box or bag! In fact, I entertain my two-legged foster parents all day long. I adore people and love following them around the house. I will occasionally sleep on my humans after some kneading and giving lots of kisses. I've been told I'm a big sweetheart! A pug dog has moved in, and while I'm not that much of a fan of him, I tolerate him. Luckily for me, I have lots of escape routes from the dog. Once you meet me, you won't be able to resist me. I'm looking for a home with a great, loving family that will devote lots of time to me (and may be open to adopting my foster brother Alfonzo)!
I was rescued from an animal control facility and have other siblings available for adoption. I tested positive for Feline Leukemia as did the rest of the litter. Feline Leukemia is an immunodeficiency virus. That means if you want to adopt me, I cannot live with non-infected cats. However, I can live with other Felv+ cats, or I could be your one and only. I'm mostly looking for a family who is understanding of my medical condition yet still willing to make me their own. More information about Feline Leukemia can be found by visiting http://www.vet.cornell.edu/FHC/health_resources/brochure_felv.cfm.
More About Me: I'm altered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, including rabies.
ADOPTION FEE: Due to Pepe's Feline Leukemia postive status, he has a reduced adopiton fee of $25 plus tax
MEET ME/ADOPT ME: If you'd like to arrange a meeting or begin the adoption process, please fill out an adoption application by visiting www.twincitiespetrescue.org/adopt/adopt-a-cat/. A volunteer from Twin Cities Pet Rescue will contact you once your application is reviewed.
FOSTER HOMES NEEDED!!! Twin Cities Pet Rescue is a volunteer-run, foster home-based organization. We can only rescue as many animals as available foster homes. Please consider saving the life of an animal in need and become a volunteer foster home today. To become a foster, fill out a dog or cat foster application on the Twin Cities Pet Rescue website: www.twincitiespetrescue.org. There is little to no cost to foster an animal. Twin Cities Pet Rescue provides its foster families with food, supplies, and veterinary care for its animals. All you need to do is supply the love!
PLEASE NOTE: Twin Cities Pet Rescue does not adopt to homes further than 60 miles from the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro Area

I received an email from yet another producer regarding an upcoming show that will deal with the subject of "losing a child to addiction." My oldest has assured me that this particular show is light-years ahead of the previous requests I've received, as far as responsible journalism. My response remains the same, as I just don't think this would be healthy for me right now, for a multitude of reasons.
This may be a truly worthwhile endeavor. If some of you get the same email and decide to be involved, my prayers will definitely include blessings on your efforts to raise awareness of the disease of addiction. Here is what I wrote back when I declined involvement in this particular project:
"Dear Producer,
Thank you for writing regarding the upcoming television show.
A few thoughts… These are my thoughts, my opinions, and mine only… "Take what you need and leave the rest."
I have not "lost" my daughter to addiction, thank God. As long as she is still alive, there is hope. Some parents in our blogging community have lost their children. This fear haunts us all.
I have no expectations. Zero. Not one. But I have hope!
My daughter is a heroin addict, and she will always be a heroin addict. Right now, she is actively seeking sobriety and recovery, and she has 17 months of clean time. Today, she is sober. Today is ALL I will focus on.
Many times I have mentioned the following to fellow travelers of this road of being the parent of an addict: I had 18 fantastic years before the disease of addiction entered her life. Many parents do not get that much time with their children!
In the last decade-plus that she has struggled with heroin, I have had both brief and extended further quantities of time with my beautiful girl. In between, I have known true anguish as I have watched her slide further and further into her diseases (bipolar disorder and addiction).
I have learned that this is not my fault: I did not cause it, I cannot cure it, and I cannot control it.
I have learned that I can love her with every ounce of my being, and yet not get in the way of the natural consequences of any relapses. As long as she is seeking recovery and sobriety, she has my support in many ways. She has my verbal encouragement, my prayers, my tangible support of a place to live for a while, clothing, food and rides to meetings, jobs, etc. If she relapses, she still has my love, prayers and encouragement, but until she chooses to seek sobriety again, she cannot live with me, or be in my home. These have been hard lessons to learn.
I have learned more than I can write here, certainly!
I have learned that there is a huge army of walking, wounded parents who trudge this same road daily. Whenever I am honest with anyone about my daughter, it never fails that I find out they have a child, a friend with a child, a coworker with a child, who is an addict also. The numbers are staggering. We have indeed lost too many of our nation's bright and intelligent, beautiful children to death from their addiction. This something I hope your program will be able to convey to all who watch it.
The war on drugs has failed. Treating our addicts with jail/prison terms has failed. Our children need desperately for us to come up with a better way for them to get long-term treatment and support. In the overwhelming majority of cases, this needs to include mental health treatment.
While I applaud any efforts to get the message out to our citizens, you sound as if you are trying to do this under a fair amount of pressure due to time constraints, etc. Might I suggest that you try to somehow find the time to delve into the subject deeply and carefully?
At this time, I am hesitant to speak personally with you or the other producers. I have been at this for over ten years, and it takes everything I've got to be there for my family in a healthy way, and to try to take care of myself. Right now, participation in activities that would increase awareness would be stressful for me. I am glad there are others who are doing this at this time. Maybe someday, when she's got way more clean time under her belt….
I do encourage you to search among our blogs. Read blogs of addicts and alcoholics ("Sobriety is Exhausting" and "Being Sober"), as well as those of parents ("Lou", "Annette", "Mom and Dad", "Barbara", "Fractal Mom", and many more), siblings, and spouses (Syd, from "I'm Just F.I.N.E. -- Recovery in Alanon").
There are many more than I can list here and each of us is in a different place in this nightmare. Many of us have found a way to live full, or content (and some say "happy") lives while dealing with it. Each of us has something to offer those who really truly wish to understand what living with a loved one with addiction is like. Just plow through the names on the sidebars of the blogs. You will find us!
Some of us have a child who is "out there on a good one" right now, and we are trying to find the strength to carry on with our responsibilities to the rest of our family while agonizing over the choices our addict is making. These parents are praying for an arrest, and most of us have been there! That sounds so normal to wish for, to us, and yet the world would think we were nuts.
Others like myself have just welcomed a child home from jail or prison and are trying to enable recovery, and yet tempering our involvement with efforts to not do for them what they can do for themselves, and allowing them to realize that they can do something, and allowing them the satisfaction of having accomplished it (Annette's words, very paraphrased, from a long-ago post or comment, I believe.)
Please, do not rush your "story" on this subject. Our children's lives are at stake with the disease of addiction, and you could do so much to spread awareness.
Just for today, I have my beautiful, stubborn, compassionate, feisty, tender-hearted, hard-working, risk-taking, ambitious, impulsive, bipolar butterfly-fairy girl in my life. I am grateful!'
And just an update: All is well here. DD2 is deeply involved in her history class at the college, working two jobs, and trying to keep her little beater car on the road. It needs $1200 worth of work right now, so she/we are basically praying it lasts until she can save enough $$ to get it fixed. If not, I'm 100% willing to resume chauffeur duties in the interim. LeBoyfriend got back his driving job and will be transporting unhealthy hazardous materials for a very healthy salary. LeBrother's back is healing and hopefully, in about six months, he can go back to work. I'm taking off for my yearly visit to my parents' little ranch next week and I will be gone for about 9 days. Y'all be good, and I'll check in when I can!
Prayers for our children continue, as always!

I'd like to meet someone who also finds this bit excruciating. I think that is a pretty good litmus test.
I am into Art and Design, I like to read fiction and sci-fi maybe and the same goes for my taste in movies. I like to surf and swim aswell as running with my dog. I'm not sure exactly what I am looking for on here as I am fairly open minded I enjoy meeting new people and discovering their likes and idiosyncrasies. Life isn't perfect but that's why it's interesting!
Hope to speak to you soon :-)

Since 2000, Israelis have made three peace offers to the Palestinians – all REJECTED without counter-offer.
Even if it requires painful compromises, polls confirm the vast majority of Israelis desire peace and security for them and their neighbours. That's why, in 1947, Israel's first leaders accepted the UN's decision to establish two states: one Jewish and one Arab. That's why Israel signed lasting peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan. That's why Israelis voluntarily ceded Gaza to the Palestinian leadership in 2005. And that's why, since 2000, Israelis have presented three peace offers to the Palestinian leadership – each refused without counter-offer.
Most Canadians have never faced threats to their children such as the ones Israelis endure today. Like Canada, Israel is an advanced democracy – with freedoms of the press and religion, equality for men and women, independent courts, free and fair elections, and equal rights for all citizens guaranteed in law. Israel's democratic government is accountable to Israeli citizens. If it were Canadians targeted for daily terror attacks, what would we demand from our government?
Peace seems a distant hope today. Since early October 2015, Palestinians have launched dozens of knife, gun, and car rampages against Israelis. As of early November, 11 Israelis have been murdered and 135 wounded.
Palestinian political leaders, religious officials, media, and social media have applauded these attacks, spread anti-Jewish conspiracy theories, and called for more terrorism. Many attackers were teenagers, one only thirteen. Incitement to violence has led not only to Israeli deaths and the destruction of entire families but also to the poisoning of the minds of an entire generation of Palestinian youth. It's led to many committing suicidal atrocities and rejecting the only path to a positive future for Palestinians: peace and reconciliation with Israelis.
Palestinian officials have recently escalated their rhetoric and levelled false accusations regarding Israeli intentions for the Temple Mount (as it is known to Jews) or Haram Al-Sharif (as it is known to Muslims).
The location of two Jewish temples (the first destroyed in 586 BCE, the second in 70 CE), the site is now the holiest in Judaism and the third holiest in Islam. Since Jerusalem's 1967 reunification under Israeli sovereignty, Israel has protected freedom of religion – including access to religious sites – for all faiths.
Today, the Temple Mount is directly managed by Jordanian authorities. Under the decades-long, status quo agreement, visits by non-Muslims are restricted to specific times and non-Muslims are not permitted to pray at the site. Non-Muslim visitors are often harassed and intimidated.
Riots by Muslim worshippers have increased on and around the Temple Mount, deliberately incited by false rumours that Israel plans to alter the status quo agreement, undermine Muslim religious freedoms, or "desecrate" the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Even US Secretary of State John Kerry has joined other objective observers who condemned these accusations as false. To ease tensions, Israel has restricted Israeli parliamentarians from visiting the site and affirmed – repeatedly – that Israel will not alter the status quo.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas declared in September:
"Every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem is pure, every shahid [martyr] will reach paradise, and every injured person will be rewarded by God."
He added that Israelis
"have no right to defile the mosque with their dirty feet, we won't allow them to do that."
Weeks later, the current wave of violence erupted – with attackers declaring their motivation to avenge what they believe to be Israel's "desecration" of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Overall ok best price for the money outstanding facilties Confusing on how to get to the hotel but after learning it gets easier
liked everything . the service at the bar/caffe was poor
The sleek, modern design and the really cool black t-shirts. I wanted to buy some, but they had no more. No lotion in bathroom
I choosed this hotel for beeing very close to the aeroport.It was excelent from all the point of view.,very clean,very modern,excelent staff. Nothing,I liked everything.
very nice and the gentleman who does the transfers is very very helpful
I was very impressed with your Valencia hotel and the value it offered for the price. I ordered non-smoking room and I still could smell the cigarette smoke.
Hotel staff were very friendly, excellent buffet breakfast... very clean hotel! Road leading to hotel still under construction...alot of detours. Apart from that, all ok.
The location is not in the Valencia but they have free shuttle to the train station in the old time. You have to reserve the time base on your schedule. The parking is free. It is best place when you travel by car, free parking, shuttle and low price Breakfast hour 7-9:30 should extended at least 10. Advertise free shuttle and post the location in coordinate. My gps didn't.t pickup the house no.
I had a room next to the cleaning room and every single morning when the cleaning staff arrived they slammed the door and woke me up. No very good being on Holiday and waking up earlier then you do at home. I asked staff if they could be quieter in the mornings and the noise got worse. I was glad to come home to catch up on lost sleep. At the reception desk if they could leave a note,but no...
It's very good hotel and theuy have e good restaurant when the location is not an isssue.
The dining facility was very comfortable and the food was excellent. The staff was very attentive.
The staff tried really hard to find me the type of room I really wanted and succeeded. Slightly chaotic road outside the hotel.
the customer service was absolutely appalling. The reception was the most unfriendly i have ever experienced. They appeared to go out of the way to be unhelpful.
comfortable, nice pool, location near beach
Great connection to the city centre by metro (only 7 stops to Avd El Cid) and on direct line to airport so easy to move about. Located in quiet area so good nights sleep. Wifi connection in room free of charge. No tea or coffee making facility in room.
Very comfortable and the metro very handy to get into city centre. Room very clean and comfortable.
Staff unable to speak or understand English
facilities - swimming pool and gym internet was provided by one PC only, which was ocupied almost always
exrremely noisy. guests and maids slamming doors. hotel allowed guests to have fireworks in street right outside our window at 2:00 am
Asked for towels twice and they never arrived. The room smelled funny.
Room clean and comfortable, easy access to the city center via the Metro (station is 2 min walk from the hotel), very good food, good value for money.
The location of the hotel is very good with miles of clean sand and swimming within easy walking distance. It is a new build and with care and attention by the management could be brought up to standard. Chef is excelent but we only tried it once due to the problem with the air conditioning so we mostly eat out in town. The air conditioning unit in this hotel maybe central with pipes leading from it to each location where there are filters and controls to vary temperatures and clean air: the windows are kept closed to stabalize temperatures. The room we shared smelt foul when we arrived and we reported the matter at once but nothing was done even the next morning to move us to another room or rectify the fault.There was no guide to the T.V. channels and flicking through them at midnight I found depraved and morale corrupting sex channels uder the code of Canal + 1.2.3.etcI would not stay at this hotel again. Poor design of car ports limit backing & turning space for a Mondeo and the supports of the roof need painting like a Barber's Pole so one can see
Very nice hotel well designed and ion great location Stayed in late september very quiet but no problem wit car breakfast great dinner poor
Good facility, very competitive to the price poor breakfast and dinner buffet, nothing around the hotel, so during night nothing to do but sleep, people who look for quiet place is best but people who needs to go out is bad loaction for them.
Nice clean modern hotel menur in restaurant we were very disappointed that we could only order all you can eat buffet
The location by the excellent long beach and the food in the dining room made this hotel one of our favourites during a tour of Spain.
Fair price. The balcony doors were broken.
Spend time at the beautiful swimming pool, visited valencia and villareal N/a
The food was good and the room was adequate, but this is not the best hotel to stay in within this area. There is the Hotel AGH Canet, only 1 km away, which is similarly priced, but much superior. We stayed there 1 night as well. That hotel is also available from Booking.com. Stay there instead! Can't understand why the reviews for that hotel are lower...it is much much nicer than here.
The hotel is very modern and spotlessly clean. Is very near to the beach (across the road). Lovely pool area. Excellent breakfast buffet. Friendly staff. At time of booking made a specific requirement for a double bed but was given two singles pressed together which was not overly comfortable and not what we had asked for. Location is very isolated as there are no restaurnats/bars nearby so you have to drive to Canet d'en Berenguer but even there, bearing in mind we went in mid september, most restaurants/bars were closed as it was 'end of the season'. Also, very irritatingly the hotel did not have irons/ironing boards available. You have to send clothes to the laundry service to be ironed which can cost a small fortune if you have numerous items.
the swimming pool was nice the design of the hotel wastes too much space
The one desk person that we had during most of the time we were there was extremely friendly and helpful - made the stay much more pleasant The toaster at breakfast we annoyingly squeaky, However , we found on the rest of our journey in spain that many hotels used the same type - and all were squeaky. Otherwise, breakfast was excellent
Good location close to the beach in the new resort of Canet, mercifully away from the industrial horrors of Sagunto. This is an excellent resort hotel, very well run and well designed. Our large room overlooked the beach and pool area and was very comfortable and clean. We did not eat dinner in the hotel but breakfast was comprehensive and good value. Overall, highly recommended if you are in this area. Rather intrusive poolside music might spoil your siesta.
The facility, the room, the room maintenance, Reception staff, followup of problems. Twice I reported that the room safe did not work. It was not fixed and there was no feedback
Good location if you look for access to the beach. It's a family hotel, lots of kids and very noisy at meal times. If you look for peace and quite, this is not the place.
The restuarant is too big, too many people together, with it being self service
The weather was great. Dinner buffet.
The room was excellent. Each room has its own small balcony. The location was very convenient, being only 5 mins walk from a large and pleasant beach Whilst the buffet style worked well for breakfasts, the lunch and especially the dinner buffets were rather disappointing with the staff being rather remote and unhelpful. In fact the two 'suited' senior staff present gave the impression that they had previously worked in penal institutions. We took dinner in a local town on two of our three nights because of these limitations but this enhanced the enjoyment of our visit rather than detracting from it.
The price, nice breakfast bufet, but not as rich as last year we were there. The signmarking of the hotel should be better. The roundabouts did not tell us where to find AGH Canet, The hot courses at the dinner-bufet were few and not so wellttasting as wanted.
View from room. Food. Terrible coffee at breakfast, and no fresh orange juice.
We liked everything about this Hotel. No
Friendly staff. Very pleasant and spacious rooms and bathrooms. Easy access to airport and prompt shuttle bus service, although when you arrive at the airport you may need to remember to phone them to send it to pick you up. No shorts allowed in the dining room! How old fashioned is that!
ok, staff were not the friendliest but the hotel was ok
spacious, clean room which was fitted with up to date fittings, we had an upgrade for 10 Euro's for a superking size bed the only thing that let it down was the shower, although the cubicle was large the shower itself was not powerful enough. The hotel itself is excellent however there is not alot to do in the evening as the surrounding area is mainly motorway and there are not many shops etc.
Rooms v modern, well-designed, excellent airconditioning (Valencia was in grip of major heatwave), v good bathrooms inc good-size towels. Restaurant closed in Aug but "snack bar" turned out to have excellent range of dishes on offer, and food was very good indeed.Public areas very well presented, little courtyards to sit out, and a small pool and sun terrace in one. Service at reception exemplary, even at 5am. (NB Airport shuttle bus available from 06h00 to 22h00). We had to leave v early for airport but complimentary coffee, juice, pastries available. Hotel easy to find from motorway, right on roadside but turn off is from major dual carriageway, rather narrow and abrupt so keep alert. Airport is 2 mins easy drive Information in room esp regarding food availablity and opening hours of "snack bar" was very confusing and might have deterred us from going there, which would have been a mistake as the food was way above the standard of any snack bar I have ever encountered.
Good straightforward airport hotel with quick shuttlebus service. Reception desk understaffed on arrival.
Friendly efficient staff. Comfortable rooms and very good conference facility. Excellent location for the airport with a free shuttle bus to the terminal. None
Convenience to airport
as I was working at the airport - it's proximity to the airport If I had not been working at the airport I would not have stayed there. There are no facilities nearby and it is too far out of Valencia
Clean and comfortable rooms. Lovely helpful staff and great location for working at the airport. I asked twice for the shower fitting in my room to be fixed and it wasn't.
nice rooms, location to airport.
The staff was cold and showed non interest in the customer
The hotel was clean and modern and we had a comfortable room. There was a very adequate breakfast buffet with plenty to choose from. It is very difficult to acess the beach area or local resorts on foot because of the busy motorway.
Close to the highway and still little or no noise from outside. General quality OK. The acoustic damping of the walls is poor ( very poor ). Noise from doors and other guests travel very easily from room to room - especially the use of toilets in rooms next to and above you transmits "perfectly". It seems, that the restaurant service is limited - or not exisiting ( the receptionist told us, that they had too few guests to make running the restaurant profitable.
Great hotel for this price. Absolutelly good place to stay near Valencia Close to sea but you have to drive (cross motorway)
Proximity to beaches and to Valencia city center, swimming pool
Very cheap price for the quality of the services The room was very hot and the temperature could not be controlled. T
good food good hotel just poor staff resturant & reception no interest in the customer at all at least the cleaners could smile as above
Bright and clean room, free parking, friendly staff, easy access from the motorway, rich breakfast.
Rooms are clean and well equipped, good value for the price. € 35 per person with breakfast (2 in a room) They turn the air conditionning off during the day so your room is boiling hot when you arrive, it is ok after you leave it on for an hour.
It's location is it's only advantage! This is a hotel with a great deal of potential that always flatters to deceive
The front desk at the time of check-in was not polite and not willing to help. The beds were tough.
Staff were very helpful and accommodating
Nice modern clean spacious business hotel. Handy for motorway and airport. The restaurant is not open in the evening at the weekend, which is a problem as the nearest restaurant area is some distance away.
The DESIGN of the hotel was amazing. It was too far out which is fine if you want to be there but should have been made clear at time of booking.
Convenient location to Cheste race track. Easy access on and off main highway. Would like to have had free parking and free internet.
Excelent accomodation, modern hotel
The hotel was clean and tidy at all times and the entrance and reception area gave a very good impression to its guests on arrival. Bathrooms were not over lavish yet quite stylish. I stayed over the weekend and was disappointed that the dining room was not open on Saturday and Sunday evenings.
5 star hotel building and facilities. Beautiful pool. Ample parking. Staff ; Maintenance ; Housekeeping - all 3 star level max !
Closeness to customer's office.
Nice big hotel located close to the motorway and to a big shopping mall making it very convenient to visitors using their own vehicles. Nice big rooms, a little on the minimal side, clean and nice bathroom. Good breakfast, secure parking, good restaurant. Very helpful and polite staff. I stayed in a room on the second floor where the windows were fixed with only the air-conditioning handling the temp. I would rather be able to open a window.
The size of our room was excellent and the pool was two doors down the hall. We appreciated our private lounge area overlooking the courtyard and the fact that it had doors that opened wide to let some air into the room. The hotel's decor is certainly quirky -- I wouldn't decorate my home that way but it made the hotel uniquely memorable. The buildings and grounds make for interesting exploring but you have to be somewhat discreet about it as there is likely a wedding or two going on at the time. Be aware that this is a busy venue for weddings and special events. There were two weddings going on the night we stayed and the noise required us to shut the windows but we had air conditioning to compensate. If you really want to see Valencia and you only have one or two days, you would do better to find a hotel closer to city centre. We had less than a full day and only managed to get about 3 hours of exploring Valencia.
The quality of the evening meal was excellent and the waiting staff attentive , despite there being a large party of Spanish golfers in the restaurant. Although the a la carte menue was off, owing to the golf party. The room was clean and well decorated. But for the tariff, the lack of tea / coffee maker in the room was disappointing. And the beds were on the hard side. Shame that the a la carte menu was suspended in favour of a set menu for the large party. Kitchen should have been able to cope.
It is a very pretty hotel. It is elegant, but not overdone. It has beautiful gardens. It is a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. It is removed from the city, but that was perfect for me as I was visiting family in the area. Not applicable.
swimming pool sewage smellson stait area
The Staff were excellent The price should be lower
Nice view on Golf court. Good food and nice staff. Boring area, nothing to do except golving. Rooms smelled like sigarette smoke and are very noisy. You can hear every word your neighbourh is saying
Staff should speak more english; 24 hour room service very limited
New build to a high standard, clean and tidy Not a great deal of atmosphere
Nice Garden and Pool area. Nice roof balcony. Nice restaurant. Netter Pool und Gartenbereich. Schöne Dachterrasse. Gutes restaurant. Situated very close to a main road. Sehr nahe an einer viel befahrenen Straße gelegen.
Very clean and comfortable hotel Breakfast is expensive for what you get
We arrived late, and my husband was coming down with a cold and so we couldn't fully appreciate the facilities, but the staff were charming, and the room was spotless and comfortable. We would have liked to have been able to order some food, but the snack menu (apart from items that were offered for room service) was not available until 8.30pm. Not a big problem though!
Good size room with dining table and chairs. Excellent air conditioning. Car parking charge was high and not reaally necessary as there was parking outside
Proximity to Valencia Eating area was used by smokers
Great area , nice accomdations and very friendly staff. If ever in this area again we would use the Casbah again
Everything and everyone was fantastic.
It was close to Valencia by car...very easy to get to the city and nearby beaches. Easy to find. Nice air conditioning. Room was cleaned well. All of these are minor inconveniences but worthy to be noted: Bed was a bit too hard to sleep on for me. Noises from other guests when window open (room was on courtyard side). Some staff seemed over tired and acted like they did not want to be bothered. Parking on the street a bit hard to find at times but it is August high season. Had to make an extra trip to receception for security box key.
Very courteous staff, the hotel was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Food and drink was basic but very good at reasonable prices. Secure parking is available in an underground car park at 10 euros per night.
Good evening meal at an excellent price parking on the main road
Good room with good facilities No restaurants in the locality
Kind and helpful staff Breakfast could be more various
no good internet
Good value for money, parking available Still a bit far from downtown Valencia.
Clean and modern budget hotel with good secure parking and very convenient for the motorway. Location not great for holidaymakers, but was excellant for an en route stopover.
Good service, parking place, cleannes of the rooms and hotel
very clean, very quite, in the right place, good price
Beds were very comfortable Poor breakfast. Just one glass orange juice,1 croissant or 1 toast,-- not both. One cup of coffee
The location was as expected and the facilities pool etc were good. We were advised that the car park was small but not that it would be full and we would need to spend an extra 38euro parking. Also the lack of parking required me to carry all our bags up a long 45% slope then up some 20 steps then some 45M to the lift. there was no offer to help me even though I am nearly 70. The room we assumed would have a balcony as the advert on the net infered that all room did. our room got the whole of the afternoon sun and was hot hot hot it was also very small and only just held a double bed..I asked for a room with a balcony but was told they were all taken, had I not foolishly paid in full before seeing the room we would have gone elsewere. The breakfst on the second day was terrible the eggs were not cooked and there was no fresh rolls all in all not recommended.
Nodern standard and not too far away form Valencia Bit noisy as it was in the intersection of motorways and a petrol station
Modern, clean, quiet and excellent value restaurant Definitely need to see the map for how to reach it from the autoroute

Amid the searing drought and strict water regulations in California, residents of a posh West Los Angeles neighborhood are trying to track down an unidentified offender who has guzzled an astonishing 11.8 million gallons of precious resource in one year.
Dwelling in one of the richest residential enclaves in the United States, the thirsty resident's identity remains a mystery. However, due to his atrocious and prodigious overuse of water, infuriated neighbors have dubbed him the "Wet Prince of Bel-Air."
While people all over the parched state are making painful sacrifices to cut back on their water usage, this unknown water hog has wasted enough amount of water to flush a toilet 20,000 times a day for an entire year, to fill an Olympic swimming pool every three weeks, or the Royal Albert Hall in two years.
Moreover, the extravagant water consumption could have sustained around 90 average California households, according to the Center for Investigative Reporting, which also revealed that the prince's annual water bill likely topped $90,000.
"It's hard to imagine how someone could use so much water," Max Gomberg, climate and conservation manager at the State Water Resources Control Board, told the Guardian. "It's appalling. What are they doing on that property?"
Recommended: Shocking Time Lapse Shows A California Lake Dry Up In Just Six Months
In a state where washing a car with a hose can lead to a $500 fine, the Wet Prince of Bel Air has certainly irked a lot of local residents, who are desperate to find out the true identity of the state's top water offender.
"It's selfish and self-indulgent," said local resident Kate Stensland. "What's the bottom line? For these people it seems to be: 'Well, it's not me, not my world, it has nothing to do with me.'"
Apparently, many wealthy Californians choose to pay the fines and continue with their normal water usage — filling their humongous pools, watering their expansive lawns and having extravagant fountains. However, these fines are too much to bear for average earning households and can cause financial panic among lower-income homes.
Even though the state officials claim that they can turn the water off after repeated violations, there have been no reported cases of the extreme measure as of yet — and after a year of water wastage in Bel-Air, it seems unlikely that the authorities will take any concrete measures to put a stop to this man's unregulated water consumption.
Since the Los Angeles city has refused to reveal the identity of Wet Prince of Bel Air, L.A.Times has noted that a "drought posse" has formed to study the flow of water through gutters in an attempt to find who is using all the water.
While this group has employed drones to monitor the situation, some neighbors believe that it is not one single person who is using all this water. They believe its several people who are using the precious resource.

PARIS (AP) French rescue workers, some of them in dive gear, searched for survivors Tuesday in homes submerged by floodwaters after a deadly storm battered France's Atlantic coast this weekend.
Across Europe, 63 people died as a result of the storms — 52 in France alone. One of the latest victims found was a 6-year-old girl in the town of Charron, whose grandmother and 10-year-old brother also were killed.
The storm, called Xynthia, blew into France early Sunday, smashing sea walls, destroying homes, polluting farmland with saltwater and devastating the Atlantic coast's oyster farms. One badly hit site was Ile de Re, a popular tourist island with charming ports and beaches. The storm also battered Belgium, Portugal, Spain and parts of Germany.
Dozens of divers and some 200 police officers continued to search through homes in the badly hit region of Vendee, on France's western coast.
Regional officials clamored for France to quickly reinforce its aging sea walls. About half the French death toll was attributed to the breach of the sea wall off the coastal town of L'Aiguillon-sur-Mer.
Another debate has focused on whether local officials allowed too much construction in zones susceptible to floods. The government has tried to staunch the criticism, saying the priority now must be cleanup and rebuilding.
President Nicolas Sarkozy toured the worst-hit areas Monday and pledged $4 million in emergency aid.

Rivers Cuomo and co. deliver another scintillating collection of punk-pop – with added experimentation
Weezer's huge international success is surely one of the most heartening rock stories of the decade. It was by no means a foregone conclusion that they would enjoy such widespread popularity when they returned from a five-year hiatus with 2001's Weezer (referred to by fans as The Brown Album to distinguish it from the band's two other self-titled LPs), but, thankfully, Rivers Cuomo's gift for songwriting proved as irresistible to a new generation of fans as it had to Generation X-ers in the mid-'90s.
Distressingly, in recent times Weezer have found themselves lumped in with the emo brigade by certain commentators, but they are so far ahead of any bands in that genre that it's embarrassing. Co-produced by Rick Rubin, the group's latest eponymous offering (destined to be called The Red Album) once again demonstrates their mastery of punk-pop dynamics.
The single 'Pork And Beans' is an electrifying rock stomper in the classic Weezer mould, with Jacknife Lee's production really making the choruses leap from the speakers. Interestingly, the group have also added some new colours to their musical palette this time around. 'The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived (Variations On A Shaker Hymn)', for example, features a choral vocal section, which is swiftly followed by a R'n'B style falsetto from Cuomo.
Speaking of the dimunitive frontman, aside from his melodic prowess, another aspect that has given him the edge on many of his peers is his deft lyrical touch. Here, the humour of 'Everybody Get Dangerous' is comparable to past peaks such as 'Hash Pipe' and 'We Are All On Drugs', both classics of narcotised bubblegum pop, while there is an acoustic ode to artists who have influenced the singer (from Springsteen to Nirvana) on 'Heart Songs'.
Of late, Weezer have been covering classic tunes by the likes of Gary Numan, Psychedelic Furs and REM, and international editions of the album come with their impressive take on The Band's 'The Weight'. It's an excellent way to conclude a superb album.

Weezer have confirmed that they will play at Dublin's Point Theatre on August 24.Read More
It seemed like it would never happen. 11 years after the release of their excellent debut album, Weezer finally made it to Dublin. Pre-gig, the anticipation was immense. Vicar St. had sold out in less than two minutes, and consequently, tickets for the show were like gold dust. At half past nine, Weezer's trade mark '=w=' symbol was projected onscreen and mass hysteria erupted.Read More
Maybe I was busy at the time, but when exactly did Weezer rise to the iconic status they now seem to hold? And will Make Believe provide any pointers for the non-believers? Well, sort of.Read More
The hysteria that greets the arrival of Weezer to these shores and each new record suggest that they're probably a more important band than we might give them credit for. 'Beverly Hills' is another spot-on punk-pop moment from Rivers Cuomo, beefed up with metal guitar riffs and street-gang backing vocals. Once again the Weezer boys haven't put a foot wrong.Read More
Weezer have confirmed on their website that they're playing their first Dublin gig on June 7 in a venue that's yet to be confirmed, but likely or not will be Vicar St, Olympia or The Ambassador.Read More

Adafruit Linear Ball Bearing - 8mm diameter - LM8UU
Deliveryfrom just £2.50
No Quibblereturns policy
Securepayment system
Next Day DeliveryOrder by 2PM*
This linear ball bearing is sort of the opposite of the radial ball bearings you may be familiar with. Its intended to slide along an 8mm linear shaft, rather than rotate around it. These are very slim, and good for when you want to attach a motion carriage onto a railing without adding a lot of weight.
These are very basic bearings, they're meant for a stepper-motion controlled setup so they're not ultra-smooth. They're best used for DIY/hobby robotics projects!
Comes as a single bearing. We have a bunch of bearings, supports and platforms that you may want to use with an 8mm based rail system so check out our CNC category

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder. How hard we work to gain entry to that sacred place, to enter inside and float away, around in circles. With a smile. This is what I would wonder and I do it to myself. I always do and will do it to myself. Injecting the memories, everything that is mine, yours, his, hers, and everyone I never met, even people who have been very, very dead. I read about them, and get a little joy with the knowledge that they never knew me, but far submerged inside myself it breaks my structure. We all die some day but at this time, during this life, I'll be the protector of mother's lost boys, when really I hunger to be the lover. I am starved, severely starved. My sacred place, where souls swim in and out of and soak up the sun light, except for myself, where I clamor to any solid frame that comes along with a silent, dripping screech. I am left somewhat alone with my rivers, my little haunted place, my ghosts. Left with them who whisper and I wonder…I wonder…I wonder…the chilling nature of extravagance and the proof of compassion, what does it feel like to be the stuff dreams are made of, what about riding on stars, the power of malicious atonement, permanent nostalgia, and exchanging urgency to serenity … ever still I wonder…what does this make of me?

Call an exorcist

Hello Again
It's been a long while, I got back a little over a week ago from my trip. It was something, was what it was. I can easily say I do not regret doing it, however it didn't treat me so well on the emotional level. On the learning scale though, it was good. If I were to write the positives of this trip I would say that,
Number One: I got to travel for free to Europe and back ,and I did get to visit some small, quite towns of Germany for three days.
Number Two: When I was able to get out and socialize (because I wasn't doing anything else and desperately needed to do something) I got to work in the merchandise booth and I did extremely well breaking the language barriers. I learned that I can pick up things very quickly.
Number Three: I left the country for a month, a long month, and although I wasn't totally fending for myself, I was able to take care of myself at a decent level. Therefore, I can do okay for myself for a short while.
Number Four: I am by far, more humble than most people.
Those are something's I'm taking from this. There were a lot of negatives, of which I will not list, but made me feel very uncomfortable and unhappy. The feelings I have of myself lowered immensely and I felt very alone, unwanted, unneeded, unspecial, and unpretty. Yes, they are my usual feelings when I become neglected however they escalated in to proportions I've never felt before, and all the while, regurgitating horrible memories and thoughts that have caused enough damage earlier on . It was difficult for me to be around the vanities and the backwards thinking of some, and the unspoken insecurities that radiate off of the individuals I gravitate to: emotionally destroyed me. I am very lucky I had Daniel to talk to me a little every day. Yet, I did something I've never done before, although I wouldn't call a failed attempt at babysitting to be an achievement, just to end up doing what I do as an artist and a bartender anyway. Still, I did get to meet some interesting individuals.
One person asked me if I would do it again, I said maybe, simply because of the money I could get if it were a better tour and the ability to travel and meet some other interesting people. I would only do it, though, if I was guaranteed more, promoted as an artist (not as a nanny), and assigned the job of merchandise girl, not having to deal with babysitting or dramatic people at all. It really does depend though.
It has been nice since I've been back. Not spectacular, but nice. My first day back at work made me feel very appreciated and missed and Daniel has been very wonderful to me. I'm so happy to see him and be able to spend time with him again. What has made it not spectacular is coming back to my parents causing disarray by their, I would suppose, misconceptions of my life, and my art not really making face…at all. My parents have been slowly going downhill when it comes to their common sense and even knowledge of their own child. If I had not grown up as much as I have over these few years, especially since knowing Daniel, then I have no idea how long it would have taken me to get as far as I have. Although it has caused me to see my parents constant blunders and flawed logic 10xs faster than ever before, it has been…disappointing… and as a daughter; frustrating. For a long while it has felt that I have been parenting my parents and now it really seems that way as I point my finger at my mother telling her that 'It's not nice to snatch things that don't belong to us, and I certainly don't appreciate her doing so with my art work.' I don't much care for talking to my mother in that way.
My art life since I have been back feels like it's at its lowest, which is like a kick in the groin while you're already down. I had a place to hang art, but they changed some rules and I do not believe I will be able to hang work there anymore. However I plan on talking to them sometime soon. Other than that I have no work displayed anywhere, which is pretty sad for me, it's also a first in a long time. However, I sort of am lying low, and hoping to do more stuff on my own first. Although I feel that saying that is an excuse for "I'm not doing well." Things happen though. You can never expect what's next.
I guess I don't really feel much like writing anymore today.

High Anxieties
I dreamt that my computer got a virus and started throwing a melee of pop ups and random pictures found on the internet all over the screen. Then my phone got the same virus, I had no idea what was happening and I needed to get to my car because it felt like everything was stopping me from doing what makes me happiest, and from my work. I was worried about my car. I questioned my writing skills and asked myself what happened since I used to write so much better than this. I thought about how last night wasn't the best for anyone. It was then 5:20AM when my phone made a noise and I was told to meet up at 1:30PM. What was I going to do with my car? Leaving it in Springfield is not what I originally wanted to do, especially out in the road. I got up to see my mother, to have her look at my suit case. I said good-bye and I'll let her know when I'm there. I couldn't sleep all night, I kept checking my phone which kept going off because of the mass message I was involved in. I kept checking to see if it might have been someone far more important to me, but he wasn't messaging me. It was pretty early anyway, and I really wanted to sleep and I know he lets me sleep, I turned the message volume down. I had to be up at 9 for some reason.
My mother asked me if this is what I really wanted to do, I know what she's meaning, which is annoying, but I looked at her and shrugged. It isn't exactly, I was hoping I could do something better and more organized. I seem to be good at getting myself involved in failing events, places, and even people. I look to myself to try to fix them, I know how, but it takes a whole community to fix something and there is no community. There is no harmony with the things I get involved with, and that's what I need to deliver. I know that I can, however no one listens to me because I am considered simple and even innocent. No, this isn't what I really wanted to do, I got involved with it because of a hasty decision, and I told myself to take new opportunities if they came at me this year. I also had no idea that this was what it was going to be like; I thought there was more structure, more community. Or maybe I'm feeling my nerves acting up because I wanted more before I went away and I'm scared of being on my own and not myself for a while. I know the shows will be an entertaining delight, I know that working out is going to be a pain in the ass. Sleeping may or may not be fruitful and my musings will not be understood. Once I am out my nerves will calm down more, I've also suffered from not much sleep for a few weeks. I am aiming to get more of that on the way. I feel jetlag will actually be beneficial for me. It was the last time I left the country.
I haven't even put on make-up or dried my hair as of yet, I'm not ready for anything right now. I'm pondering more about what to make of my car, since no one else has thought of this. If I know myself, I know I will think of something, none of which will help my stomach from feeling so unsettled. It will help if I can talk to my crush for a little, he can make things feel better. I am still anxious about being away from him. He has been there for a long time, I like that and I'm used to it. I really do love and care about him. I have brought up my woes a little to him, he has told me that nothing will happen besides work and fixing up his home. I love it when he says that his home will be all new when I get back. The little bit of anticipation in his voice is wonderful. I'm mostly scared because of how much I feel for him, having my feelings out on the line have hurt me so much in my life, and previous issues has hurt me greatly, and he has now become something quite frightening to me because I really see how deeply I feel about him. When a person feels that way about another, that other person becomes an absolutely scary person. I have my feelings lying out for him to do as he pleases with, and I'm praying that they don't get hurt again. I want things stitched up, I am ready for being loved and to love in return. He helped me with my overseas works outs last night and titled the document he sent me 'Mittens' and my heart swelled. I never even thought I'd ever like someone calling me Nikki. But only him.
I should probably finish getting ready, I am very tired.

The Blue Period
It could be considered weird to be posting twice in one day. I am feeling on edge, even a little down. I don't care for this part of the coaster. I'm ready to go. I have all my items together except what's in the wash at this very moment. Right now the part I need to work on is the spare room, I need to figure out a place for all my art work and the work I still have of my crushes. It would have been fabulous to have been able to hang these works up somewhere for this month so that they could be in the care of someone else and out of the way of my parents. Unfortunately for me the month that everything was up and out of the way has passed and I never got around to doing the Silver Cow because of all other sorts of issues that I care not to think about ever again. I wanted to ask some friends if they could look after my works and show them every now and then, to sell my works the way I've done for others, but then I remembered I don't have many friends. I have a hand full of friends that would actually do that and they are busy doing their own stuff, of which I would rather not bother them with extra stuff to worry about. I practically don't talk to anyone anymore, which is either their choice, my choice, or because I don't want to burden anyone. This art work is proving to be a hard thing to deal with (why I stopped doing a lot of art in the first place). I love it, I really do, and the works I care for from others, I love them too and I want to sell them for all of us. I should probably work on that harder when I get back. Money helps every little bit, on top of that my crush has some dental work he wants done at some point, I want to help him a lot with it. I hate feeling so useless though, except for money circumstances. I would like to be able to do more than just loan out money or give money.
I'm feeling super disheartened by everything, I feel this all the time; you can tell me that every day and all day. I get it. I suppose it hasn't helped that everyone around me seems to be irritated. My parents are frustrated because I haven't given them information about my travels and I keep walking away from them which is hurting their feelings, My crush is irritated from exhaustion and other stuff (possibly stress from house issues), The band I'm touring with is all irritated by all the stress that's surrounding them and personal problems, I'm irritated because I don't have any information, I can't solve any of these problems, nagging, my status in life, and I feel as though I can't express my feelings without being reprimanded in some strange way for feeling this way. There are people that think I should know everything, and those that think I should just be funny and happy. Just be funny and make everyone laugh...this is going to be who I'm supposed to be for a month. I would like to have been able to see everyone off on happier terms but it simply isn't a good time for anyone. I have a few days that I can still talk to my crush, which is nice, but I don't know if he will want to talk. I really hate feeling so insecure and worried. I have broken out a bit around my chin, which profoundly sucks.
My positive side is doing its best to break through, this littlest part of me in the back of my head that keeps me going, even if it's for the fuckery of it. These are legitimate reasons for keeping my head up, however. Not just bullshit that someone tells another person like; It'll be okay/ Darkest before dawn and all that good bullocks when everyone knows that your dog just got hit by a car, not just hit but practically slaughtered and you can take it to the vet but you damn sure that thing isn't coming back, and that same day you just got a note from the doctor saying that you have HIV and a malignant tumor that will kill you very slowly and very painfully…and you broke! Those being the positives of the day. Hallmark cards can't fix that. Anyway, no, I tell myself more realistic things. You can't have success doing the same thing all the time, or as my crush likes to tell me "Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results." This is something very new and very different from what I normally do therefore, it's all brand new. Of course I wonder if this will be beneficial in anyway, I have no idea, but it's different, I'm going to go with that. After that I get to go home for a little, I also get to visit new places that I've never been before. Brand new experiences-yay- never been to Germany-yay n' shit- brand new places to explore for a little bit if I can. Next, I picked the best colour to paint my nails, they look great, it's a perfect purple. Pretty n' shit. It's only a month, a sort of vacation, when I get back my crush will be there and so will my job. My hope is that my bar will be doing better and can pay me all the money I am owed and get me back on to an hourly schedule, and then my crush may perhaps want to give me a chance as being something more than what we are. I have wanted those for a while though. For sure, when I get back, my art and cartoons and writings will be here. I hope to have the energy to work on those and complete them this year.
These are my desires. I only have to break through this long period of slowness.

Two Types of People.
It was interesting yesterday, I was talking to the figure drawing teacher about some issues and while we were walking to the gallery she says, "Love is never enough." Go back a few months ago where I read an article comparing two well known singers on their choices of meanings towards people/loved ones and the like. John Lennon and Trent Reznor; The Beetles and Nine Inch Nails. The Beetles sang about love, equalization and all that such, NIN goes on about broken hearts and all sorts of angst. One famous song by the Beetles is "All You Need Is Love." And then for the NIN song: "Love Is Not Enough." The article makes a lot of sense, although I was curious if I was simply being biased because I like NIN more than the Beetles, and John Lennon has always kind of irked me, where as Trent has always been pretty heart melting for me. Still, hearing her say "Love is never enough" left me with a spark. It is nothing but clear. One cannot simply love a human and expect all to be satisfied and well, there will be fights, there will be issues, there will be building, there will be growth; There is you and there is them. With all that, there is love, but to love one must sacrifice and make the best of themselves and the person that they are loving. To shine a light off yourself, and to break free that light inside another. With that, and for the concept of children, love is never enough: that is your whole life. You must sacrifice yourself to construct another being. You give up apart of yourself to bring up another. That is if you want to do it properly. Similar to some bugs, where they sacrifice themselves as their babies first meal, that is not just love, that is human nature. The good things with humans, is that they can usually get back to what they are passionate about after a little while when things have settled down a bit.
It's odd to imagine that love and sacrifice can be one and the same. That does not mean we lose ourselves and our love dwindles, it means we know how to nurture and how to balance what is right, wrong, and responsible. Putting aside our selfish desires, to make a stronger bond.
It's beautiful to see that there are others out there that know this, I can only wish them the best and to please carry this on. I feel much of the world gets taught backwards thinking and with that generations get messed up. There are a lot of things to mend.

Too Much...
I spent most of the day packing and preparing myself for my trip. The majority of the time was spent with my new Ipod, new as in from Christmas. I suppose I should have spent more time with it earlier on when I first got it, so then I wouldn't have wasted so much of my day pouring music into it. There is still so much music that I haven't gone through but I feel that 749 songs should keep me well occupied during my free and immobile moments on the travels. I'm pretty pleased with how much I have packed, I even have a tiny bit of room for those last minute extras. Best part is that on my way back, if all goes according to plan, I should have a little more room, due to a monthly cycle and using up packets of baby wipes to keep myself cleaned without being able to bathe. My only sadness is that I was unable to really pack my loveliest outfits since it wouldn't be all too practical since many of those outfits don't mix and match well with one another. I remind myself that I will probably not be going out to interact with society like the band will, and with that I probably won't be seen so much with the band to feel the desire to look as excellent and flamboyant as them. I did however, treat myself with a simple small dress, since I have items that work with it and it is small and easy to transport. I would like to be able to wear something very lovely at least once, something feminine and delicate, just because. I would like to bring the necklace someone special got me one year, but I'm too scared of it breaking. If I can carry my back pack AND big purse on (which normally I should, but I don't know Singapore airlines so well) I may carry it on with me. I cherish it, I cherish anything he gets me, anything he makes for me. I will feel very lovely with it and the dress.
I have discovered that we will be departing for Europe from New York, which is neat, I've never been to New York nor have I departed abroad from anywhere but LA. I understand, just like my experience with LA, that departing doesn't mean you've visited the area. It will still be neat to feel the air difference and the energy difference. It's still a strange travel plan to me. I'm not excited about all the driving. I won't be out of the country 'til the 18th. We will be driving to NY, kind of annoying if you can understand what it's like to fly abroad. But I suppose you do what you have to do, and they've done this for about 15 years and it's worked for them. Sometimes it feels as though a lot of things I've done these past few years have almost been preparing me for this tour. Such as; learning to properly hand wash clothes, cope with messy and oily hair/skin, living a little more on the simpler/basic side of things…I am still indulging because I can and I want to, because it's me and I love dressing nice, also because I feel I should (and I don't feel so comfortable as to wear just a giant shirt with my hair sticking up on all ends and no make-up, as I can around my special someone)..but it is odd. I'm still worried about not fitting in and feeling very lonely most of the trip. I have taken precautions to bring a new sketchbook and a kindle filled with books, so when I start to feel my heart dropping I can do something new to take my time off the loneliness. I do hope I'll be able to have the ability to get online to check my mail an okay amount of time, without racking up a huge phone bill on my phone. I'm sort of hoping that someone will have some kindness towards me, if worse comes to worse, and allow me to use a computer to check mail and other such things. I know someone will have a computer. I know. I'm still deciding on jackets to bring, my body is no longer acclimated to European weather, so I want so badly to bring my fantastic, gigantic, beast coats, but I can't for the fuck of me remember what 50-60F felt like over there.
I simply already can't wait to be back! I really want to work on my book, my comic book, my body, and my other art works. I do feel though now, that having a little vacation wouldn't hurt me. It would be nice if this could benefit me in some way for my art career, but I don't know how. It would be neat to make new friends, but again I don't know how. It would be really nice to get to say hi to some of my family members, but I don't believe we will be in the right area to where my cousin is having her wedding. I think, around 3 hours out of the way. I mostly want to get on my comic, I want to fix some of the little problems that have been noted and start writing that next script; Which is something else I need to bring, my notebooks for my comics! Who knows what I might be able to think of while I'm traveling.
I really do love music. Ridiculously. But I will admit, going through it to put stuff on my mp3 player kinda made me hate the fact that I love curtain artists so deeply. Every time I opened a folder with a favourite artists name on it, I was silently screaming at all the music that I had to shift through. It was like Fi-Fi-Fo-Fuck and I was engulfed by a horde of really awesome tiny bugs that I absolutely loved but I couldn't keep my eye on where I was going so I didn't step on them and then BAM, they've covered my entire body and I can't breathe and I am dead. It's okay though, I really liked it, it's all my favourite songs..but, sweet apple archers, if my fav musicians aren't damn prolific in their genius and their fans aren't some crazy fuckers.

Humans and Computers Don't Compute Together
It's only a few more days, that is all that has been on my mind, and everything else that comes along with being gone. I am constantly haunted by the phrase "Out of sight, out of mind." All my life; I remember the first time I came to encounter those words, it was an episode of the animated series of Beetlejuice. The cartoon, of course, took it to a different level thanks to its over abundance in the pun play, but still. That phrase…makes me shutter. In the cartoon Lydia and Beetlejuice had a fight causing Lydia to walk away from Bj and his antics of which, according to him, he can't help and makes him who he is. This separation causes Bj to go into such a depression that he pulls her inside his head, because he cannot get her out of his thoughts because he loves her so much. In the cartoon he had to say the phrase to get her out of his head and back into life. Cute, however when I hear it elsewhere, it is not a pun nor is it something sweet and innocent. People say it with such gloom that it absolutely crushes me. I think that sometimes, I am the only person who is unable to feel this compilation of words as fully as everyone else. I find that it's some of the most apathetically powerful words in existence. What a way to ruin a person's day.
I would like to take it to the lesser extremes. Yes, an item. I forgot to give someone their Tupperware back even after I washed it and told myself to bring it to work if in case he comes in. "Nick, you should put it with your bag so you see it and don't forget it." I'll stare at the item for 5 minutes thinking, knowing, and playing it all in my head with what will happen. I then tell myself; "Yes, I won't forget it. I'll dry it later, my god, I am exhausted." Outta Sight, Outta Mind; That's a mild way of using that saying, the simple things in life that don't matter to you, when not in your line of vision won't linger around your thoughts. Now, when adding a living being person to that; ouch. That's not to say that I haven't forgotten about someone because, let me reassure you, I forget a name and a face, only when I don't interact with them enough making them barely a background character in my life. But I could never forget someone so important in my life and that's where the cliché gets to me. People say things like this, and it terrifies me when they say it about people that matter so much in my life, with that I hear myself say it when someone becomes important to me. Please, don't forget about me. Please, keep me. Please, love me forever. Don't ever stop, because I cannot. But I would suppose that almost sounds too desperate. One can't tell another person that without scaring the living hell out of them.
Another thing to note, the idiom expresses the total opposite of who I am, and any other individual like myself. Which I believe is one of the reasons why it frightens me so much. It displays the concept of an emotionless life form. Think computers; I cannot equate myself to a machine for I am not. Another phrase, which I have heard rides a similar line as "Out of sight, out of mind", and one that I personally love, because it cancels out the lack of humanity in that phrase is: "Computers can wreak a nice peach" or in other words: "Computers can recognize speech." Please, don't equate yourself to a computer, you are not a machine.
I don't know what I mean to people, I would like to know, the answers that could pop up concern me though. I imagine no one thinks of me unless they need something that they know I could assist them with, because I will bend over backwards for people. I don't know why, I can't even say that it's only for people I like, because I have been known to prop up those who have hurt me. I do know there are cases where individuals that I have come in contact with have begged others to bring me back to them. I have even had people borderline stalk me. I wouldn't call it obsession; I am unable to think of anything that could make a person obsess over me, those individuals though, I can safely say are not the kind of people a person should really be interacting with. Perhaps it's something else? I haven't the slightest idea, and I want to, so badly. I worry about being a disappointment. I worry about failure. I worry about coming back to nothing. I worry about simply being in the way. I want to stop being obsessed over the anxiety of this trip. Just don't forget about me, keep me and love me. Don't listen to that idiom. Remember me. I feel like I'm rambling because I'm feeling nervous about things I have to do. I had a good day today, I wanted to be selfish and have it last forever. I want to have more good days like that, I'd love even better days! I hope when I get back they'll be even better! I also hope…he doesn't love Cheetos more than he loves me…
There are good expressions out there, there have been plenty in my life I have had to say to myself over and over. Just as there are good words. I have to remind myself;
-What other people think of me is none of my business.
- But sometimes your light attracts moths, and your warmth attracts parasites. Protect your space and energy.
-Don't judge a book by its cover.
-You're still going to be criticized, so you may as well do as you please.
-If you can't beat them, dress better than them.
-Man is least himself when he talks in his own person, give him a mask and he will tell you the truth.
-It's showtime.

Nobel Platitudes Prize
Barack Obama is the latest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. This announcement, made on October 09, was met in large part by disbelief and incredulity worldwide. The recipient himself was compelled to admit, "I do not deserve the the Nobel Peace Prize," though that did not deter him from […]
Lessons in Hegemony
Giovanni Arrighi defines hegemony in his essay, "The Three Hegemonies of Historical Capitalism" (Stephen Gill eds., Gramsci, Historical Materialism, and International Relations, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1993), as the power of a state to exercise governmental functions over a system of sovereign states.This power is something more and different than […]
Nuclear sovereignty
Recently, North Korea and Iran have been in the news for their nuclear disobedience. Undoubtedly, these are scary regimes, but they raise an interesting question: what are the limits on national sovereignty? On one hand, they are very much within their rights as sovereign nations to produce nuclear weapons, particularly […]

POLL: Firearms Business Takes Aim At Obama
A store front marquee is mostly used to promote specials or give holiday greetings. Some people say one gun store in Katy is going too far by putting political messages on their storefront billboard.
Tactical Firearms on Mason Road in Katy has their weekly signage reading "I like my guns like Obama likes his voters. Undocumented." Some people say that's going too far with the political statements while others feel they have a right to express their opinion on their marquee.
When asked about it owner Jeremy Alcede told KTRH the messages are meant to be funny and are a collaboration of ideas from store employees. He says the idea of "We like our guns undocumented…" refers to the fact that unlike other states, Texas does not register or keep records of your firearms.
Tactical firearms and Alcede gained national notoriety last year by having gun rights discussions with controversial rocker Ted Nugent and CNN host Peirce Morgan. When asked about the phrase on the billboard now, Alcede said they change every Wednesday and his employees are already brainstorming to find this week's winning message.
Here's what you're saying on the KTRH Facebook page:
