Travelogue - 2015 begins with the sweetest sunrise over Bahia de Chamela. We (Joe and Deb) are at anchor in the Islands that the locals refer to as the Kitchen Islands (Islas de Cocinas) and there's not another soul within sight. The expanding glow in the East has burst into a crescendo of brilliant light shards bringing with it the first day of the new year.
We spent New Year's Eve at sea and celebrated by tapping together our plastic water bottles as the year ticked over and we exchanged watch duty. Him to trundle into the warm bunk I'd just vacated and me to take up my 3 hour watch in the chill and dark. The sails had been doused at sunset when the wind died and the iron jenny motored us along. Maybe not so exciting, but we were heading to one of our favorite places on the planet.
Early this morning we dropped anchor in 15 feet of crystal clear water after a 48 hour journey down the coast.
Before long we spot some sails and are joined by friends aboard "Lovely Reta" and "Lion's Paw" soon to be followed by 2 other boats.
We all have a rest and play around the islands for a couple of days before resuming the journey to where we'll spend the next few months, Barra de Navidad ... or rather the Gold Coast playground between Chamela and Manzanillo.
Once the anchor drops in the lagoon we get the boat in "living mode" rather than "cruising mode" putting away the offshore gear and the jack lines and getting the cockpit dressed and ready for company.
We'll hang out here for a while.
When we're cruising, Barra is one of the places where our friends and family can catch up with us.
This is a funky little Mexican beach town that has colorful shops, delicious food and a fantastic music scene at night. Dancing in the streets is by no means uncommon. Market day is Thursday and a parade is likely to break out at the slightest provocation.
Barra has an ATM machine as does Melaque, the neighboring town that is accessible by bus or taxi or a walk along the beach.
Those looking for a boutique style hotel right in the midst of everything have really enjoyed the Casa Senorina where there are only 8 rooms and a "you're one of the family" type atmosphere.
Although the property is close to everything including the beach it is completely walled creating a serene garden and pool area where drinks and food are served. Step outside the gate and you're in town.
If all inclusive and luxury surroundings are your thing you'll be completely enchanted with the The Grand Isla Navidad which is across the channel and accessible by water taxi or car.
We sometimes keep the boat in the marina there and though I don't like marinas much this one is a treat. The swimming pools, the golf course, the lacy hammocks swinging idly between palm trees, the walks through groomed tropical foliage. If I start out early enough, 7:00am or so I sometimes catch a glimpse of a coatimundi (a racoon like creature) and the birds are always most lively and vocal in the mornings.
The grounds are stunning and extensive. Brick walkways meander through old stands of mango trees and along breezy bluffs that overlook the malecon, the harbor entrance or the lagoon depending upon which direction I choose that day.
The hotel itself is a grand fortress of stone and marble built into a hillside that embraces the little marina and we've left our boat here for the summer twice now believing that it would be a good hurricane hole.
Because of the water taxi (taxi acuatico) system here, it is one of the only places where our visitors have access to the boat when we're at anchor out in the lagoon.
This is the month we head off on our budget trip to Guadalajara with our buddies Jeff and Sharon so we're off to see some architecture and immerse ourselves in the language.
We put PJ (Pacific Jade) in a slip in the marina and call the water taxi at about 0730. Our bus leaves at 0900 and we want to be there in plenty of time to get 4 seats together.
Sharon and Jeff are ready when we get there with their single backpack each. We're playing by ear on this little jaunt and really haven't made any plans. The idea is to not tie us to any schedule and stay if we like it and move on if we don't. No reservations, no timetable, packing light and we'll see how we get along out there.
Are we crazy? That's what we're going to find out.
Grasping our little bags with a sandwich and drink we boarded the bus (Elite) with our backpacks. The bus stop in Barra is on the main road across from the OXXO store on the way out of town.
It's a 6 hour bus ride from Barra to Guadalajara past the puffing volcano in Colima, ranchland and farmland and groves of palm and banana trees and somewhere in the middle a large barren area that resembles salt flats with the odd weed poking through the crusty surface. Little homesteads intermittently dot the edge of the road - I wonder what it would be like to live in one of these tiny satellite worlds under the shade of spreading branches with my cow and chickens and a pair of goats all sharing my space.
Guadalajara is a huge city to the 4 of us - all small towners. We snag a cab and ask to go to Tlaquepaque because we've heard good things about it (and it's fun to say). It's lovely but a bit pricey for this low budget trip and I've been told not to buy anything in Tlaquepaque because you can get almost everything you see for less than half the price in Tonola.
After a few cervezas we taxi back to Guadalajara to look for lodgings.
We ended up at the Hotel Aranzazu on the recommendation of our cab driver.
So this is the part where we start to ask ourselves "what were we thinking?"
The hotel does have some good points, location being one of them. It is right across from a lovely cathedral and it's walking distance (5 blocks) to the town cross and the action.
OK, maybe one good point, but it's a big one. Otherwise the rooms were passable as far as budget accommodations (clean, soap, functional shower, friendly staff) I don't know where in Mexico you've traveled but that's not a bad recommendation. Take a pass on the complimentary breakfast, in fact I wouldn't even go back into that dining room.
Had we done our homework we'd have stayed at the which for only a little more money goes the extra mile as far as comfort and good bones. Next time ... and there will be a next time
We've decided leave the boat here for hurricane season and travel home. We like to make the decision about where we'll leave "Pacific Jade" about 2 or 3 months before we intend to leave. I need to know where we'll be so that I can book our flights home.
We could fly out of Manzanillo but WestJet only has 1 flight a week and they're pricey so we'll book our flights out of Puerto Vallarta and we'll take the bus (Elite bus lines are super comfy and they even pack you a lunch) from Barra to PV.
It's about a 4.5 hour bus ride from Barra to PV through jungly growth, past spectacular outstretched trees and over mountaintop vistas and when glimpses of the sea start popping up on our left, Puerto Vallarta isn't much farther.
The Flamingo Vallarta is the place we always stay when we're doing a quick in and out of Vallarta because of it's proximity to the airport, bus station and the bus stop at Wal-Mart. (In front of Walmart are 2 bus stops - the one that's closest to the cruise ship docks is where the out of town busses stop. From here you can catch a bus to Bucerias, La Cruz, Punta Mita or Sayulita at a cost of 8 to 20 pesos depending on how far you're going.)
But we also love it because of the fair price, comfort and marina vibe. The Hotel is beginning to show its age but because it was a grand old marble structure in the first place its charm is still evident. They must have upgraded the beds because ours is fabulous. Tomorrow ... Canada.

In East Asia, nationalism never acquired quite as bad a name as it did in Europe, and it is not uncommon to hear politicians go on record with nationalistic statements. Yet, it is a force that is often disruptive of international relations and dangerous for domestic politics if it gets out of bounds.
China has experienced an upsurge of nationalism in recent years that is viewed as a matter of concern by politicians in East Asia and elsewhere because it coincides with the country's emergence on the world stage as a major power. "China's New Nationalism" is a useful and enlightened account of the currents that are feeding this surge.
Where does China's new nationalism come from, and why did it surface when it did? Popular explanations by Western observers allege that it is an outgrowth of China's state-dominated society, a top-down movement promoted by government propaganda to fill the void left by the waning attraction of communism. Peter Hays Gries, professor of political science at the University of Colorado, thoroughly discredits this view.
The major result of his study is that China's new nationalism is genuine. It is borne by the people and their sentiments that in combination with electronic communications media are quite beyond the control of the government. This tends to be overlooked since the Party frequently participates in nationalist politics and is, therefore, assumed to be its sole originator. That assumption, the author contends, is simplistic.
The two load-bearing pillars of the new nationalism embodied in the writings of Chinese intellectuals in their 30s and 40s are Japan and the United States. It is in competition with these two countries that Chinese nationalists are trying to define China's role in the world today. In view of the history and current politics of both countries' relations with China, this is anything but hard to understand.
Japan's aggressive stance against China did not begin with the "Rape of Nanking." As Gries shows, the 1894-95 Sino-Japanese war, which resulted in the incorporation of Taiwan in Japan's expanding empire, is still considered a defining moment in bilateral relations. And it is against this background that outbursts of popular anger about any move that smacks of support for Taiwan's claims to independence must be seen.
The "War of Resistance" in the 1930s and '40s is where the Japanese and U.S. sources of the new Chinese nationalism join together. The story line of the nationalists is that China suffered aggression at the hands of the Japanese, but eventually prevailed. Although the Japanese have produced numerous apologies, these cannot be trusted, because their words and deeds do not match. While one high-ranking politician voices repentance, another visits Yasukuni Shrine, where war criminals are honored.
As for the United States, it has not only failed properly to acknowledge China's decisive contribution to the victory over Japan, but pursued an anti-Chinese policy for almost three decades after the war, blocking Beijing's admission to the United Nations. Current American discourse about containment of the rising competitor does little to enhance Chinese trust in Washington's good intentions.
Hays Gries' analysis of the new Chinese nationalism focuses on a number of recent events such as the failed 1998 state visit of Chinese President Jiang Zemin in Tokyo, the 1999 U.S. bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, and the Nanjing Massacre controversy. In each case it did not take much to trigger waves of anti-Japanese and anti-American demonstrations in the streets of Chinese cities.
Although the political elite unfailingly reacted to what they perceived as Japanese and U.S. threats, they did not fan the flames of popular nationalism. The people needed no encouragement to put up banners to tell the world that "China cannot be insulted!"
Using the socio-psychological concept of "face," Hays Gries is able to show how personal vanity and national pride contribute to mutual animosity. While psychologizing politics and diplomacy has its risks — after all, countries are said to have interests but no friends — his approach is a useful reminder that politicians and diplomats are not immune to the contagious bacteria of self-love and excessive concern for social recognition.
Careful examination of how Chinese and American media reacted to incidents that put the two countries at odds with each other reveals how American self-righteousness and Chinese distrust complement each other to heighten rather then diffuse tension. Similarly, the perceived need to save face time and again gets in the way of Japanese and Chinese politicians to accommodate each other.
China's new nationalism is a byproduct of the giant country's struggle to find a new place in the world. At this time, its relations with its two main competitors, or rivals, are uneasy. Hays Gries analyzes with admirable clarity the risks involved in the volatile mixture of popular sentiments and politics.
An important lesson to be drawn from this book is that a proper analysis of nationalism leads nowhere if it looks at one country in isolation. For nationalism is not a solitary game. It is fueled by distrust and resentment rooted in historical memory. In this regard, Hays Gries demonstrates with many quotes that China-bashers in Washington and Tokyo have little to recommend them over China's new nationalists.

At this week's European Cruise Council Conference in Brussels, Carnival UK chief executive David Dingle described the continent as the "new centre of gravity for cruising." A bit of a bold statement some might say, but when you take a look at a new report compiling data from 2006, it seems that he has the figures to back up the claim.
Back in 1995 when cruising was pretty much just a holiday trend for our U.S. counterparts, only one million European passengers took a cruise. Now that figure stands at around 3.9 million, and we (Europe) account for 23 percent of the total global cruise passengers, according to an economic report by the European Cruise Council.
Predictions estimate that by 2015 the number of cruise tourists from Europe could reach 5.1 million.
One look at 2008's upcoming new-builds further points to the dramatic shift. In the next two months alone, MSC Poesia (March), AIDAbella (April), Independence of the Seas (April) and P&O Ventura (April) will all begin their maiden seasons cruising European waters. Then in July, Carnival Splendor, the newest offering from a line whose bread and butter for years has been the Caribbean, will start off sailing Northern Europe and Mediterranean cruises. These five ships account for approximately 14,000 additional Europe-based berths.
In another telling piece of info, the cruise industry now accounts for more than a quarter of a million jobs in Europe, €10.6 billion direct expenditure (a 27 percent increase over the year before) and 15.2 million visits to European ports.
The report of the 2006 statistics was commissioned with Euroyards, Med Cruise and Cruise Europe.
The most popular country for cruise ports of call was Italy, which welcomed 3.4 million cruise passengers to ports such as Naples, Civitavecchia and Livorno in 2006. Spanish ports including the Canary Islands were also hotspots, with 2.8 million cruise passengers visiting.

Lol well, let's break this down. How much time per week can you commit to the training? If you can commit 20 hours for example, per week. I mean, I ain't no math major but I reckon that's 10 weeks!10|10|0
10 weeks would be a bit long for me. If I did 40hrs/week then I could half that to 5 weeks.

I would really rather be working as a babysitter or nanny or working at a daycare center which is what I'm going to be going to college for. I have pletty of offers but haven't been going for them due to my schedule at McDonalds.
Most Helpful Guy
Life is too short to work in a job you are not that keen on. I strongly advise you to take the daycare job for two reasons.
1. It sounds like you would enjoy that more than McDonalds
2. If you are going to study it at university then work experience in the area you are study is good as it allows you to put what you are learning into practice and learn it to a higher standard.
3. Having work experience in the area you are studying helps increase your employability. Remember you need to grab hold of everything you have in the workforce these days as it is very competitive.
So in my opinion there is only one choice get a job at a daycare centre, get the job first, then once you have got the job at the daycare centre leave McDonalds. If you do it the other way around and leave McDonalds and then try to get a job at a daycare centre and are not successful then you will be left with no job. So apply at the daycare centre first. How many weeks notice do you have to give McDonalds before leaving?32|10|0
Thanks for MHA :)
Good advice

The following scenario is quite familiar: you join a gym, make little to no progress and begin searching for answers when you reach the inevitable crossroads.
Do you quit or spend additional money on personal training?
That question typically leads to quite the mental chess match as you begin to wonder if you can afford personal training on top of a monthly membership fee or if you simply can't justify paying hundreds of dollars, even though you realize you need the extra assistance.
In the cases when personal training is embraced and implemented, you truly feel as though you're making the right decision as it relates to your health and well being, and that the money spent is simply an investment in your longevity as it relates to staving off diseases and living a longer, more productive life.
But is it really the salvation you believe it to be?

So yeah, my Klema-loving friend (reno_sunnyd on livejournal), last week, managed to fall and dislocate both her left elbow and her left knee, at the same time. And so now she's hobbling around in a cast and a knee brace, which makes me feel bad. I mean, it was at karate, but she wasn't even fighting. And it was the one day I missed. ...I am going to get so much shit for putting this in my author's note.
But anyway, I somehow ended up promising to write her another Klema for Valentine's Day. I... used her situation for partial inspiration. Can you guess how? Pfft.
Slapstick Valentine
What with the broken arm, vitally important court case, and sudden profusion of yellow roses, Ema has all but forgotten that it's Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, that glimmerous fop seems intent on reminding her. [mild Klema, post Apollo Justice]
Ema was awoken by a knock on her apartment door. The clock on the VCR read two-thirty pm, but she was still in her pajamas and her hair was a mess. The TV was still on, the blankets on her couch were wrinkled and tangled, and the room was stuffy. Groaning, she stood, feeling horribly unbalanced by the weight of her cast as she got to her feet.
The knock sounded again. "I'm coming!" she called irritably, stepping over a pile of clothes on the floor. It had only been three days but somehow she had already managed to trash her small living room.
She fumbled with the lock; it was tricky to open with just one hand. "I told you, Apollo, you really need to call me if you're going to - oh."
Standing in the doorway was not a red-clad defense attorney as she had assumed, but instead a blonde, purple-suited ace prosecutor whose face was obscured by a large bouquet of yellow roses. "Good afternoon, Fräulein," Klavier said, trying to peer around the basket in his arms.
Before she had a chance to think about it, Ema had slammed the door in his face and locked it. She pressed a hand to her rapidly beating heart, panting. "You scared the crap out of me, you glimmerous fop!"
"I did knock, Fräulein," Klavier replied, his voice muffled by the thick doorway. "Would you please let me in? The hallway is cold."
Frantically, Ema lurched into her bedroom and grabbed a bathrobe from the closet. Donning it as quickly as she could with one hand, she limped around her room, tossing discarded Snackoo bags into a pile and kicking her dirty clothing further down the hallway. The blankets on the impromptu couch-bed were straightened as quickly and neatly as she could manage and the empty Chinese takeout boxes were hustled into her kitchen trash. She cracked a window and left the television on - she would need something to distract her if Klavier got too annoying.
When she finally finished and returned to the door, making a vain effort at fixing her hair, the prosecutor was still knocking. "Fräulein, it's freezing out here." He sounded annoyed, as far as Ema could tell from the other side of the doorway. "I don't know what you're doing in there, but could you please -"
He was cut off when a slightly out-of-breath Ema flung open the door again. "I wasn't dressed," she explained sullenly, smoothing her bathrobe.
Klavier stepped inside, and as he passed her, she could see him raise an elegant blonde eyebrow at her attire. "You're still not."
She glared and shut the door behind him, adjusting her dark pink bathrobe self-consciously. "Well, I'm more dressed than I was five minutes ago."
The prosecutor made a noncommittal noise and asked, "Where should I put these flowers?" He looked around her small living room, raising an eyebrow again as he saw the Snackoo bags piled up in the corner. "Your house is smaller than I expected, Fräulein."
"It's an apartment; of course it's small," Ema said irritably as she opened up the cupboard under the sink in search of that clear vase she had bought for a discount. She gritted her teeth as she groped around in the cupboard with one arm, lifting up her cast and keeping it out of her way. The plaster was heavy and it was straining her shoulder.
Behind her, she could hear Klavier begin to tap his foot. "Your hair is a mess, Fräulein."
"Really?" she replied sarcastically, finally locating the vase. It was way in the back, probably covered with dust and cobwebs.
"Ja," Klavier replied conversationally. "Did I wake you up when I knocked on the door?"
Ema ignored him as she extricated the vase from the clutter and examined it critically. The glass had held up surprisingly well over the past year as it had languished in the cupboard. It was dusty, though - smeared with dirt and grime. Rolling her eyes, she turned on the sink and stuck it under the stream, both in an effort to wash it and fill it with water for the flowers.
"Did I wake you up?" Klavier asked again. For some reason he had followed her into the kitchen.
"Yes," she said nastily, exasperated. "My house was a mess, too."
"Apartment, Fräulein," the prosecutor corrected with an air of smugness.
The detective rolled her eyes. "What-ever," she replied, knowing she sounded like a bitch of a teenager but unable to help it. She leaned over the counter to reach the dishtowel and gave the vase a half-hearted wipe. It was dry enough. Balancing it carefully in the crook of her good arm and steadying it with her cast, she turned around.
At the same moment, Klavier stepped forward, his arms still full of the gigantic bouquet. "Allow me to assist you, Fräu-"
Ema let out a small shriek as his elbow jostled her cast, jolting her injured arm and sending the vase falling to the floor. Both her slippered feet and Klavier's black boots were instantly drenched, and, instinctively, she jumped back, landing heavily against the dishwasher and jolting her already bruised thigh.
As she cursed, Klavier gazed down at the mess with an expression of dismay. Depositing the bouquet on Ema's tiny kitchen table, he took her elbow with a grip that was firm enough to brook no argument. "You need to sit down, Fräulein," he said firmly, steering the detective back to the couch. "I forgot you were sick, too."
"I am not," Ema said, though she was, embarrassingly, too tired to struggle. "I'm just injured."
"Which is just as good a reason for you to be sitting down," the prosecutor said as he pressed her shoulder to make her sit. Ema did so reluctantly, glaring up at him. "Now, Fräulein Skye, where is the broom?"
She began to get up, but was halted by Klavier's glare. "In the closet in the hallway," she told him, praying that he wouldn't notice (or at least wouldn't comment on) the pile of dirty clothes. To be completely honest, she really hated cleaning up after herself and it was nice to have someone else to sweep up the mess.
Well. It would have been nice, if that someone hadn't been Klavier Gavin.
Behind her, she heard Klavier shut the closet door and clomp back over the kitchen. Doing her best to ignore him and his soft whistling as he cleaned up the shards of glass, Ema kicked off her soaking slippers with a shudder and drew up her feet so that she was seated cross-legged on the couch. She winced as her bruised thigh twinged uncomfortably.
The three o'clock news was playing, the anchor talking against a backdrop of Gourd Lake. It was some new lead on the monster sightings of several years ago - apparently, someone had brought in new photographic evidence that showed 'definitive proof' of Gourdy's existence.
"The case went very well, thanks to you, Fräulein," Klavier said from the kitchen. To her great surprise, Ema found herself turning down the volume of the television to listen to him. If anything, she would have normally turned it up and pretended she didn't hear. But this was important.
"Apollo told me that you were doing well," she said over her shoulder. "Has it finished?"
"Ja," Klavier replied. "There's that three-day limit on all the cases, remember?" For a moment, Ema caught a glimpse of his blonde head over the countertop. He looked satisfied with something, probably himself. "It was difficult at first, but the jury ended up approving the prosecution by a landslide." There was a pause, where Ema heard the swish, swish of the broom. "This new jurist system is really quite interesting," the prosecutor said finally.
Ema was a detective first, and a lawyer not at all. "What about the evidence?" she asked, twisting around on her seat and ignoring the discomfort from her leg and her broken arm. "My evidence. You used it, right?"
"It was absolutely vital to the case, Fräulein," Klavier replied seriously.
She glared at the top of his head, the only part of his body that was visible from behind the counter. "...If Apollo hadn't already told me that, I would never have believed you."
Klavier stood. "Fräulein, you wound me." He paused, and put a hand dramatically over his heart. "Where are your towels?"
"Dish towels or bath towels?" Ema asked automatically. "Either way, they're in the closet. Put the broom away, too." As an afterthought, she added, "Please."
"As soon as I find the trash can."
"Under the counter, cupboard next to the sink," she replied instantly. "So you did win? ...With my evidence?"
The prosecutor sighed. "Ja, Fräulein. It would have been terribly sad if we did not use the evidence that you risked your life for." He gave Ema's cast a significant glance. "Even if you only injured yourself through your own clumsiness."
Ema bristled. "It was icy! The sidewalk was covered in ice and all I did was slip!"
"If you had been watching where you were going," Klavier replied, a hint of arch amusement in his tone, "you could have dispensed with the five hour stay at the emergency rooms, the X-rays, the cast, the three days of sick leave, the bouquet..."
"Shut up," the detective snapped. "How do you even know all that?"
"Because I'm the one paying for it." At her stunned look, Klavier shook his head. "Excuse me. I meant I as a member of the prosecuting offices. Since, to all intents and purposes, you work for us."
"You're not the head prosecutor, though," Ema pointed out. "So you're not actually paying."
Klavier shrugged. "Ja, well, it comes out the salary the government pays the prosecutors for each case. Including mine. And I'm here on the orders of the head prosecutor himself, anyway. Him and whoever's in charge of the Criminal Affairs Department at the moment."
"Took you long enough," Ema replied, turning back to the television. "Usually, don't the care packages arrive the day after a work-related injury? That's what happened with Gumshoe a few months ago. I know; I was the one to deliver it, that time."
"They do," Klavier assured her, and Ema realized with a start that they were dangerously close to having a civil conversation. "Usually. We were just all so wrapped up in this case that no one had a chance to run down to the flower shop for you until today. In fact, I was the first one who offered. After all, it is Valentine's day."
Ema blinked. "It is? Already?" Then her expression hardened into one of cynicism. "I suppose you had to pick up several bouquets for your multiple girlfriends, so it was no big deal." She twisted around to glare at Klavier, who was leaning against the counter, contemplating the roses. "Am I right?"
"Nein, Fräulein Detective," the prosecutor said, shaking his head. "Unfortunately, they seem to have forgotten what I look like now that my face isn't on the television twenty-four/seven."
"Pity," Ema replied sarcastically. "Must be tough for a glimmerous fop like you." She turned up the volume on the TV - ridiculous monster sightings or not, watching the news was better than listening to Klavier moan about his lack of a love life. She got enough of that from Apollo. Honestly.
She had almost managed to forget he was in her kitchen when a plastic bucket full of bright yellow roses was placed with a thump on the coffee table in front of her, effectively blocking her view. Ema whipped up her head to see a smiling Klavier. "Flowers for the Fräulein," he said, nodding to the bucket. "I was unable to find another vase, so I had to make do. I hope you don't mind."
"It's fine," Ema told him curtly. In reality, she was a little flattered, but she would die before letting the prosecutor find out. "Now could you move them? You're blocking my view."
"But Fräulein," Klavier said plaintively, "you haven't read the get well card yet?"
"Where is it?" she asked irritably, leaning forward with a wince to look at the bouquet. "Look, you didn't even take off the plastic wrap..."
The prosecutor gave an elaborate sigh, fishing out an envelope from the midst of the flowers. "My apologies, Fräulein, but I don't usually take care of flowers. With the Gavinners, our manager would..." He shrugged and handed her the card.
Wondering why he was being more annoying (solicitous) than usual, Ema slid out a pink-patterned card. "Get well soon," she read aloud. "We appreciate all your hard work and hope you will recover quickly! And it's signed by everyone in both departments." She couldn't help giving the paper a small smile. "And? Now will you move the flowers?"
Klavier simply stood there, smiling.
Exasperated, she looked at the card again, more closely. "I notice your signature isn't on here," she observed finally, looking up at the prosecutor again. "You thought that if you got the flowers, you could weasel out of signing my card?"
"That's not it," the prosecutor said, reaching into his pocket. "It was because I was getting you this, too."
Ema took the offered package with a frown, examining it warily. It was a medium-sized box, wrapped in pink paper with silver filigree, and tied with a silver bow. "I hate pink," she said, sliding off the ribbon and peeling off the wrapping paper as best she could with one hand.
"You could have fooled me, Fräulein," Klavier said with a pointed glance at her dark pink bathrobe, pale pink pajamas, and rose-colored blankets. Even her cast was pink - the doctors had wrapped it with glaring, neon plaster.
"Shut up," Ema said automatically, dropping the last of the wrapping paper to reveal a shiny silver box. "A box."
"Open it," the prosecutor suggested, his voice tinged with humor.
Out of curiosity, more than anything, Ema complied, maneuvering the lid open with only a little trouble. "Chocolates," she said, raising an eyebrow. They looked surprisingly expensive. "You got me chocolates last year, too."
Klavier, his hands in his pockets, looked greatly amused. "No 'thank you'? You're lucky that I give you anything at all."
"Probably because you're so pathetic that you have no one else to give it to," Ema remarked, touched in spite of herself. "...Thank you. Um, last year, what did I get you for Valentine's Day?"
"A Snackoo," Klavier said. "To the forehead. I treasured the mark it made, all day," he added with a hint of sarcasm.
Ema looked around. "Damn, I'm fresh out."
The prosecutor followed her eyes to the pile of empty Snackoo bags in the corner of the room. "I noticed," he said wryly. "Do you need me to go get more? I heard they're on sale at the grocery store."
"No, it's fine," Ema replied, taking one last look at the delicious looking chocolates before shutting the lid and placing the box on the table. "Apollo should be coming by later with some more. And some of that Coldkiller X, just in case."
Klavier's eyes widened in mock surprise. "Herr Forehead? Do I detect a rival for your affections?"
"What affections?" Ema snapped, glaring up at him. Then she leaned back against the couch again. "Seriously, though, I... appreciate the chocolates."
Now Klavier's surprise was real. "Fräulein Skye is thanking me seriously? Ah, has the world come to an end? ...Is that brimstone I smell?" He pantomimed looking around. "Or is that just stale Snackoos?"
"Shut up," Ema said, groping around the couch for something to throw at him. But aside from her pillows, the couch was suspiciously clean - and she didn't want anything she slept on touching Klavier. At all. She settled for glaring. "You could say 'You're welcome', you know."
"Of course I could, Fräulein. I do speak English, after all." Klavier gave a smile and an ironic bow. "Well, that's all the business I have here. I'll be taking my leave now. Please don't get up, Fräulein Detective." He turned and strode towards the door. Then, with his hand on the knob, he paused and turned to look back at her. "Happy Valentine's Day... Ema."
Ema blinked, startled at the use of her name, then turned to him and stuck out her tongue. "Whatever." She had always hated Valentine's Day, anyway.
But when Apollo Justice arrived about an hour later, he was met with a very odd request. "I'm going to give you the money to buy a nice box of chocolates," Ema told him. "Not too big. Medium-small sized. And I want you to deliver it to Klavier Gavin."
Apollo widened his eyes. "What?"
The detective smiled. "Just tell him it's from me," she said. "Payback."
Ch'yeah, that's all. I distinctly remember promising never to write a Klema again in my author's note for Rose Tinted Goggles, which, by the way, you should all go read and review. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control (and explained in the note at the top), I found myself doing it again...
Like many things in life, writing Klema gets easier the second time.
Reviews are love, and especially appropriate today, since it's Valentine's Day and dedicated to love. And chocolate. But you can't give me that. ...I'll settle for reviews. :D

Government forces flood Djibouti streets to stop protests
The Canadian Press reports:
Soldiers and police filled the streets of Djibouti on Friday to prevent a planned demonstration against the president by opposition parties, officials said…
A potential presidential challenger, Abdourahman Boreh, who lives overseas and is currently in London, said demonstrators are not ready to confront the police and army with force, but that they may do so in the future.
"They have come out with a lot of force, the Djiboutian army, the gendarmerie and the police," Boreh said. "They wouldn't let the people circulate. This is really showing the character of this government."
The full story of the Djibouti protests is here.

Health Reform Watch's Fix Tracker!
President Obama has asked states to allow insurance companies to renew non-Obamacare compliant plans through 2014. We'll be using this tracker to keep a running list of how states are deciding. A more thorough version of this tracker exists here. And let us know if your state is missing!
Allowing late renewals: Hawaii, Ohio, N.C., Fla., Ky., Tex.
Not allowing late renewals: R.I., Vt., Wash.
Still deciding: Calif., Colo., D.C., Ind., Miss., Ore., S.D.
Getting Jim Donelon on the phone is an incredibly difficult task.
I know because I spent about 36 hours trying to do so. And it took me three tries over the course of two days to get through to the Louisiana regulator, who found a spare moment around 7:30 p.m. on a Friday.
We chatted briefly before Donelon put me on hold: He had spotted one of his colleagues on "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" and wanted to keep an eye on the interview.
Donelon is the president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, a group of state regulators that, on Thursday, was made a crucial player in the fight over cancellation notices.
It's up to Donelon's group whether or not to allow President Obama's proposed cancellation 'fix' -- giving insurers another year to sell non-complaint policies -- to move forward.
Overnight, the insurance commissioners became gatekeepers for a crucial White House priority -- and a target of massive media attention. The regulators who spend most their days pouring over insurance filings are, all of a sudden, turning up in prime-time television.
"All day long I've been getting calls from reporters," Donelon said.
Asked if he could remember a time when the insurance commissioners had received so much attention, Donelon said, "None, ever." He noted that he's served in this position for seven years. "It harkens back, maybe, to staffing Hurricane Katrina. That's the most similar experience I can think of," he said.
For as long as companies have sold insurance products, the regulation has typically occurred at the state level. This, in a way, makes sense: Insurers tend to sell to people in specific geographic areas, making it an industry that would lend itself to local oversight.
New Hampshire appointed the first insurance regulator in 1851 (according to an official NAIC history of state insurance regulation) and, in 1871, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners was founded. It is the oldest association of state government officials out there.
Insurance regulators arguably have one key goal to their work: Preventing insurers from going bankrupt. That's what happens when insurers don't have enough money to pay out the claims that subscribers submit.
Much of an insurance regulator's work, then, is tied up in making sure that insurers have enough money in the bank to stay solvent. They review reams of filings from insurance companies each year, which includes data on the revenue they plan to take in (in the form of premiums) and the cash they have on hand (their reserves).
This is, unsurprisingly, relatively dull stuff. The NAIC meets three times a year in bland hotels across the country, the type of conferences where you sit in ballrooms and don't see sunlight for a few days. I know, because I spent a few years attending them when I covered the insurance industry.
There, they hold hours-long meetings with titles like "Principal-Based Reserving" and "Reinsurance Financial Analysis." That latter discussion is apparently so racy that only the insurance commissioners, and not their staff nor the public, can attend.
The insurance commissioners did play a huge role in one major health-care regulation that they called the "medical loss ratio" (and was later re-branded by the White House as the "80/20 rule.") This is the health law regulation that requires insurers to spend at least 80 percent of subscriber premiums on health-care costs rather than administrative work or profits. The health law tasked the NAIC with deciding what counts as a medical cost.
This was a big policy decision but also one that regulators had months to make. They held weekly conference calls and finished their work with little fanfare. Anything called the medical loss ratio is unlikely to make front-page news.
That's completely different from the current decision, which took the regulators by surprise and has major political consequences.
Donelon only learned of the president's announcement moments before the rest of the public, in a phone call with home state Sen. Mary Landrieu (D- La.). She moved up a pre-scheduled call in the afternoon, to give him a heads up on the pending policy announcement.
Others didn't get any heads up at all: Montana's insurance regulator saw the president on the television in a coffee shop, and Washington's commissioner learned about it when he was at the gym.
They quickly scrambled to organize phone meetings. "We went into national conference calls, two of them, to cobble together our response," he recounts of Thursday.
Donelon says that state and federal NAIC officials are still trying to figure out what the changes would mean; he hopes to have some form of national guidance out to regulators later this week. While pundits here in Washington worry about what his decision means for Obama's presidency and his poll numbers, Donelon's biggest concern is...solvency.
Yes, solvency. It's a No. 1 concern for the regulators because reversing the cancellation notices could put them closer to insolvency, as the premiums in the exchange would be unlikely to cover a sicker subscriber group.
"While the big, national companies can weather that, a smaller one might not," Donelon explained. "My Blue down here is big and strong and financially able to take a chance. These small companies may not. So from a solvency point of view, that is what would mostly concern me."
This was right about when Donelon put me on hold for about 10 minutes, to watch his Kansas counterpart, commissioner Sandy Praeger, appear on "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren." He apologized, noting that insurance commissioners don't typically turn up on prime-time television.
KLIFF NOTES: Top health policy reads from around the Web.
D.C.'s insurance commissioner was fired the day after criticizing the Obama plan. "White said the mayoral deputy never said that he was being asked to leave because of his Thursday statement on health care. But he said the timing was hard to ignore. Roughly 24 hours later, White said, he was "basically being told, 'Thanks, but no thanks.'" White was one of the first insurance commissioners in the nation last week to push back against Obama's attempt to smooth over part of the botched rollout of the Affordable Care Act: millions of unexpected cancellations of insurance plans." Aaron C. Davis in The Washington Post.
The White House's goal: Have HealthCare.gov work for 80 percent of shoppers. "The Obama administration will consider the new federal insurance marketplace a success if 80 percent of users can buy health-care plans online, according to government and industry officials familiar with the project. The goal for how many people should be able to make it through the insurance exchange is an internal target that administration officials have not made public. It acknowledges that as many as one in five Americans who try to use the Web site to buy insurance will be unable to do so." Amy Goldstein and Juliet Eilperin in The Washington Post.

Forssell has successful op
Birmingham could have Finnish striker Mikael Forssell back playing within three weeks after he underwent a successful hernia operation.
Last Updated: 04/10/07 10:43pm
Birmingham could have Finnish striker Mikael Forssell back playing within three weeks after he underwent a successful hernia operation on Tuesday.
Forssell suffered the setback during the Carling Cup tie at Blackburn but could be back in training within seven to ten days.
And the Blues hope the former Chelsea player will not miss many games because of the imminent two-week international break.
City assistant manager Eric Black said: "Mikael had the operation on Tuesday and everything went well. He's gone back to Finland for a few days now to rest and recover.
"He has a slight tear which had opened up a little bit but, with modern surgical techniques, it can be as little as three weeks before somebody is playing again.
"We hope to have him back training in the next seven to 10 days and hopefully he won't miss too many games with the international break going on for two weeks."
Forssell looked to have put his last three years of injury problems behind him as he looked sharp in pre-season and scored on the opening day of the campaign at Chelsea.
Birmingham will hope he returns sooner rather than later to provide competition for Cameron Jerome, Olivier Kapo and Garry O'Connor as Rowan Vine is out on loan at QPR.

4 St Declan's Terrace
Saturday 15 October, 11.00am – 5.00pm
Renovation and extension to the rear of a 1920s terraced house in Marino. The original terraced house is part of the Irish State's first significant attempt at public housing in the north Dublin suburb. The extension is a simple rendered block that is twisted towards the sun. This simple form is punctured by a large rooflight and an internal/external timber lined bench divided by a large slider addressing the small back garden. The bench acts as a seat, a stage, a playground and a social space for its young family. The first floor rooms are reorganised to provide access to a converted attic and create a large double height landing space flooding the stairs with light and pulling daylight down into the middle of the house..
First-come basis: Just turn up and look out for Open House Dublin volunteers.

Question: Third person perspective on life
|zebra - Wed Feb 13, 2008 12:42 am
I seem to be habiting a state of mind in which i view what is happening through a third person perspective although not derealization.
It is not an indication in anyway of depression at all. Whether or not I am grumpty, really happy, or in any varying state of excitement or melancholy it persists. I am curious whether there is a name for this and if there are possible solutions.
As for the symptoms;it's sort of like watching a story. Everything that is happening is extremely detached and it is as though I am watching myself. This causes me to be extremely emotionally detached from what is going on sometimes to the point of callousness. A good way of describing how I feel all the time is being stoned (on pot) minus the ability to not be coherent and intelligent. This doesn't mean I don't have a personality but just that the personality that i have is somehow separate from me.
I don't remember feeling this way always. I do remember that it really started when I first started smoking pot, which makes me think that the drug in some way caused my brain chemistry to change/made me permafried. I do not spoke pot anymore and have maybe gotten stoned 20 times in my life so this theory would seem dubious were it not for the fact that whenever I am around pot being smoked this feeling increases.
It is obviously rather daunting to think of going through life as though it was not really happening. Going through the motions is another way of describing this. I'm not involved with what happens to me. An example would be when I'm learning something new. I can learn it but I really am only distantly concentrating on it. It is as though there is a conscience behind the thing that is me, that is separate and is just there. I don't associate myself with this body and this mind.
This is not a scary or negative sensation- just an ever constant. It would just be great to actually feel as though I was where I am, feeling what I'm feeling and there was nothing else. To just be my body there where I am.. To be more involved /engaged.
I would very much appreciate some insight into the name of this (oh the comfort in having a name)/ possible treatments/ ideas on the subject.
|Dr. K. Eisele - Sun Feb 17, 2008 7:47 pm
Dear Zebra:
You are in a dissociated state. This can happen for many different reasons--it could be some medication you take, it could be from the marijuana, or it could be from certain mental disorders, such as PTSD.
If you have had traumatic experiences in the past, you should definitely consider seeing a therapist about the possibility of PTSD. If you are taking any medications, talk to the prescriber about your symptoms.
Best wishes.
|zebra - Tue Feb 19, 2008 2:55 am
hey thanks for the reply. This is definitely not a for of ptsd- i've had a stress free and cushy life. In terms of the marijuana, I never used it in copious amounts.I also take no medications- totally mentally sound, aside from this strange state of mind. Are there any names for "mental disorders" that this reassembles? If not, that is fine; I will probably consult with a therapist.
Thanks again
|zebra - Fri Mar 28, 2008 1:40 am
For those interested, I found a name for the symptoms I described - Depersonalization which is apparently common

Do Not be afraid 'To die,' @Afternoon, it is part of life And... Living.
We all Go in some way in which Is Decided for us and don't really know, unless it is Terminal, just how it will All end one day.
I believe that when I was your age, I would give this a thought and it Would send a chill up my spine from time to time and the thoughts Of: How will it feel?
When we do leave this earth, our bodies, the Cavity, remains, either in the ground or being cremated, depending on Our Own Choice in at Least That matter. However, the spirit leaves the body and Where it goes, nobody knows, but I know on Judgement day, That Too will be Decided for us by God.
For now, live every day as though it were your last and Enjoy life to its fullest. As you get and grow Older, it suddenly doesn't Occur to you so much because if you are like me, having gone through deaths with friends, family and even animals I have loved and have lost, you somehow in some way, learn to accept Death for what it is. With a strong love and believe and faith in God, you have no reason to be "Scared" but only of the life you are Living... Now.
Good luck and blessings. xx00|00|0

Lex Brown
Lex Brown (born Maybole, Ayrshire) is a Scottish businessman. A former decorated RAF helicopter pilot,[1] he came to public attention after buying Tioram Castle, in Moidart, for £300,000 in 1997.
There followed years of high-profile conflicts with Historic Scotland, Highland Council and other interested parties,[2] including a public inquiry in 2002 and an appeal to the Scottish Government in 2006. Following a change of personnel at Historic Scotland.,[3] Brown renewed discussions with HS of his plans to reroof and live in Castle Tioram, though these are still at an early stage.[4]
Brown was mostly brought up overseas, in Egypt and Ghana, where his father worked as a civil engineer.[1] His Gaelic-speaking, west highland mother endowed Brown with a respect for his highland heritage.
After 20 years in the armed forces, Brown farmed on Loch Lomondside before making a fortune in the air cargo and oil exploration business.[1]
