Doing the Danube with Viking: Viking Freya Cruise Review by Ah_cruises
Overall Member Rating
Doing the Danube with Viking
Destination: Europe - River Cruise
Embarkation: Budapest
River cruise ships are much smaller than ocean going liners, so the experience is more intimate but also more limited. There is no fitness room, pool, sauna, theatre, etc. There are no children's activities (and indeed few to no young children on these trips.) There is one bar and essentially one restaurant. Entertainment in the lounge is pretty basic: a piano player/singer throughout the day (same person) + some evening local entertainment brought on board, albeit limited based on the size of the dance floor area in the bar. I would guess the average age of the cruisers to be about 50. If this is what you are expecting, you will be pleased; if you are comparing it to a Caribbean or ocean cruise, you will likely be disappointed.
The restaurant was very good. Serving staff were experienced and provided extremely attentive service. If one chose to sit in the same area and get the same wait staff daily, it was not long before they knew your name and your preferences. My daughter dislikes onions, and after the first dinner the waiter brought all of her food with the onions removed without her asking. Viking has bumped up the dinners a notch on the new ships to be more like fine dining. The portions are slightly smaller but the presentation is upscale. One could ask for more but we found the portions filling without making us feel "stuffed". Each night had three new choices for appetizer/entree/dessert and a cheese course based on local cheese course. If none of those appealed then steak/salmon/Caesar salad were always available. Breakfast was a full buffet with omelette bar (+ one could order eggs benedict, pancakes, etc. fresh from the kitchen). Lunch varied, depending on whether one went to the restaurant to eat or was lucky enough to get a table in the Aquavit lounge (indoor/outdoor) on a nice day. We enjoyed eating in the lounge but the tables are limited and all round, so going with a party larger than four is difficult. The dining tables seat six, with a few larger tables for bigger parties.
The port excursions are a combination of included tours with some optional tours that could be purchased separately. The included tours were mainly general overview/bus tours of the city in question, taking in the biggest sites in a couple of hours. The optional tours (usually on the other half day) were more of a variety. The tours are well explained in the pre-cruise guide and at the nightly briefings. The guides were all local and a bit hit/miss for the novice guides so early in the season. Viking runs a "leisurely" tour for those a bit slower on their feet but it was hard to tell the difference. What they need is a "spritely" tour for the younger cruisers. If one is not the patient type, the waits for everyone to disembark, get on the bus, figure out the headsets, etc. can be frustrating. Of course, one can also dispense with the tours altogether - the concierge service for arranging your own activities was very good.
We had flown into Budapest a few days before the cruise started and I think from now on we will generally do a pre-cruise extension, which speaks more to the generally lousy/unreliable airline service these days. It's far more pleasant not to spend the first day or two just de-stressing from getting to embarkation! This particular cruise spends the first two days in Budapest so it is a bit less stress-inducing. Having said that, the concierge service is really top notch at working out issues with late flights, lost luggage, etc.
Of course, some aspects of the vacation are beyond the control of the cruise company: bad weather, low water, lost luggage, late flights. The experience is partly what you make of it. We have experienced all of these problems and still had a good time.
We find all of the Viking Cruises to be a reliably good value. Their website is great! If you take the time to read the information available you will be well informed with few surprises. Less

Vatican City — In retirement, Pope Benedict XVI follows a daily schedule similar to that of any retired bishop or religious: He prays, reads, strolls, talks with people and offers them spiritual advice, the Vatican spokesman said.
Although he "lives in a low-key way, without public attention, that does not mean he's isolated or enclosed in a strict cloister," Jesuit Fr. Federico Lombardi told Vatican Radio.
Marking the one-year anniversary of Pope Benedict's resignation Tuesday, Lombardi and Archbishop Georg Ganswein, the retired pope's longtime personal secretary, spoke about the very normal daily life of a man who is in the unusual position of being a retired pope.
Ganswein, who continues as Pope Benedict's personal secretary while also serving Pope Francis as prefect of the papal household, summarized the retired pope's day as filled "with prayer most of all, with study, with personal correspondence and visits."
"The day begins with Mass, then with the breviary, followed by breakfast," he told Famiglia Cristiana, a Catholic magazine. "The morning usually is dedicated to prayer and study, to the mail and to receiving guests."
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at email@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
Ganswein and the consecrated laywomen who assist the retired pope join him for lunch at 1:30, and a nap always follows, he said. Pope Benedict spends the afternoon dealing with his correspondence and listening to music until 4 p.m., when he and the archbishop recite the rosary while walking in the garden behind the former Vatican convent where he lives. They eat dinner at 7:30 and watch the evening news at 8.
Ganswein said Pope Benedict had told him he was retiring long before the Feb. 11, 2013, announcement, but under the strictest secrecy. "Instinctively, I said, 'No, Holy Father, it's not possible,' but I realized immediately that he wasn't communicating something he wanted to discuss, but a decision already made."
The archbishop said the "VatiLeaks" scandal, which saw the publication of confidential papal correspondence and internal Vatican documents, "did not cause or even influence the resignation."
"The pope did not flee a responsibility, but was courageous" enough to realize he no longer had the strength to carry out the papal ministry, he said.
Ganswein also confirmed that Pope Francis and Pope Benedict speak frequently on the telephone and have done so since the evening Pope Francis was elected.
"I was in the Sistine Chapel to greet the new pope and promise him obedience," the archbishop said. "Immediately, Pope Francis asked me about Pope Benedict and said he wanted to call him. I dialed the number and handed him the telephone."
Lombardi said the pope and the retired pontiff have shown the world that there was nothing to fear with having Pope Benedict live in the Vatican while a new pope reigned. "The fact is that the papacy is a service and not a power," he said. Pope Benedict "fulfilled his service before God and in good conscience passed the witness of this service to another."
As for Pope Benedict's daily routine, Lombardi said it is that of "an elderly religious." He said the retired pope's guests come for conversation, for dialogue and "ask his advice and spiritual support."

Cannellini Crostini
Recipe by COOKGIRl
This is my version of crostini served at my favorite Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurant in town. What I noticed about the restaurant's version of crostini was the absence of an overly aggressive garlic flavor. So, I assumed they used roasted garlic as I've indicated in the recipe. It is strongly recommended for best results as well that you use the finest quality French baguette in this recipe-either homemade or bought from an established artisan bakery. Canned beans are certainly acceptable to substitute, although you'll need to be careful as canned beans have added sodium. Adapted from spacelingcafe.com. Smooth and creamy!
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 loaf French baguette, day old, thinly sliced
Crostini Mixture
- 15 ounces cooked cannellini beans, save some cooking liquid (or equivalent amount drained canned beans, liquid reserved)
- 6 roasted garlic cloves, minced (read *NOTE)
- 1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar or 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt, to taste
- 1 -2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, to taste plus additional
- extra virgin olive oil, for toasting and garnish
- spanish paprika
- fresh Italian parsley, very finely minced
- red onion ring, thinly sliced (use the smaller inner rings)
Directions See How It's Made
- *NOTE: A word of advice: Using roasted garlic mellowed the flavor. Using unroasted garlic will in my opinion overpower the flavor however. DO NOT use jarred roasted garlic.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the white beans, garlic, sherry vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil. Add a little bit of the cooking bean liquid if necessary to help in blending. Be careful not to add too much liquid though!
- Mash the bean mixture with a fork until very smooth. If you think it is necessary to add again a very small amount of the bean cooking liquid to help in mashing, then do so.
- Cover the bean mixture and allow to sit at least 1 hour. I recommend tasting and adjusting seasonings after standing time.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brush each slice of bread with olive oil on both sides, and toast in the skillet until it is lightly browned on both sides; approximately 2 minutes per side. (Alternatively, you can broil the baguette slices, but you need to be [[really]] careful not to burn the bread!).
- Top each slice with some of the bean mixture.
- Arrange the crostini slices on a pretty platter. Add a sprinkle of paprika over the slices, very lightly drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top of the toasted slices, garnish artfully with the fresh parsley and a smattering of red onion rings.
- Serve immediately.
- Prep and cooking times are estimated.

The big V-Day has approached us and I must say that I feel obligated to cheer up all the single ladies in my life. No, I don't feel sorry for you but I have received plenty of phone calls from my friends that go into major depressed mode whenever this lovey-dovey holiday comes near. Before you bust out the Ben & Jerry's ice cream and the Sex & The City marathon, take a peak at some of the things I suggest you do to keep your mind pre-occupied while the rest of us try to book reservations at an overly crowded restaurant.
For starters, how about you get those ultra awesome and natural endorphins going by getting your sweet buns to the gym. Kick the Valentine's Day blues right out of your system by taking a boxing or pilates class like my sexy friend, Diana (pictured below!). All that hostile energy toward your loser ex-boyfriend is the perfect motivation to boost your body into gear and start a new hobby.
If sweating on Valentine's Day really is not your cup of tea than check yourself into the spa so you can relax your body and your brain! All those thoughts of being single cab be massaged right out of you! While you are at it, request a male therapist! You will completely forget it is the 14th of February.
Now do I have your attention? Massage therapy may not be for everyone so why not pick this day to catch up on your retail therapy! At least you know there will be a good sale on lingerie and underwear!
Or why not call your girlfriends and take part in an ultra fancy night of champagne and super expensive take-out! Filet mignon, fresh veggies and a bottle of Moët sounds so delightful!
I will understand though if all you Single Sally's just want to call it a night. Going to bed early and getting some beauty sleep could be the best answer to get through another Hallmark holiday.
Just promise me one thing. Don't give up on LOVE!

Wednesday is one of my most favorite days of the week. It is right smack dab in the middle that you just can't miss it. I know there are some of you rolling your eyes at the thought of Wednesday as it is not the ever so popular Friday.
Just come down for a moment though and hear me out. I think I change your mind on why you should look forward to wonderful, fabulous, and at times unpredictable, Wednesday.
For starters, did you know that Wednesday represents the astrological sign of the planet Mercury? Mercury is the messenger of the heavens. It facilitates clear communication, and carries new information to our awareness in extremely precise and effective ways. Have I lost you? Think about it like this, Wednesday is the vital communications link to all other days – it's like the network server of the week. The best tasks to tackle for Wednesdays include; communication, catching up on emails, thank you notes, letters, phone calls, etc. Wednesday is also a good day to sign contracts!
Secondly, what other day of the week can you call, "Hump Day?!"
Let me also remind you that it is a great night for TV! Hit shows like American Idol, Law & Order, Modern Family, Nashville and The Real World all air on Wednesday!
Also, I heard that Wednesday is the best day to buy gas as stations tend to jack up the price for weekend travelers.
Wednesday is typically a good gage to see how your week is going in general. You can basically tell if it is going to be a slam-dunk or continue to be more on the challenging side. Think of it as a stop in the road to evaluate how to take on Thursday and Friday.
Last but not least, all you single-tons should love Wednesday so much more because it is typically the day that people respond more often to dates for the weekend. What better day to plan a weekend date than in the middle of the week.
Happy Wednesday love-bugs!

Edo de Waart
Yearly Forecast for 2017
Edo de Waart is a male celebrity.
He was born on Sunday June 1st 1941, in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
After last year's constant involvement with himself and very possible occasional doubts about the state of his business or career Edo de Waart will find 2017 to be a relief. Things finally work out. Long postponed checks and promotions come through. Edo sees the light at the end of his financial tunnel and an inner strength and confidence is breaking through. This is De Waart's year of harvest and, depending on the effort he put out in the past seven years, his reward will be equally large.
There is a beauty in these cycles we can recognize and understand and in doing so we find ourselves 'in the flow' and there is no more need to try and struggle upstream. So this year Edo de Waart will have an opportunity to involve himself fully in work and material growth and bring home the rewards, at the same time a certain detachment is also necessary - for Edo and for the experience he has because it is not the reward that brings him happiness but his experience of life, which is why before the rewarding eight year De Waart has had such opportunity for growth during the soul-searching cycle of the seventh year.
Once Edo de Waart gives in to his ambitions, he will find himself more clear and focused and able to pursue and reach his goals. Edo's power is visible and strong, mental creativity is high, vision and intuition will guide him, and at the same time he is more efficient and focused.
There can be loss, serious loss, bankruptcy and failure, because the rewards are always directly proportionate to De Waart's effort and motivation. However Edo de Waart knows the effort he put out and he knows his motivations, so there must be no room for fear and doubt, only for success and winning and 2017 will undoubtedly turn out to be a very satisfying year.
Let's take a look now at Edo's monthly forecast for August 2017.
You and Edo
About Edo's Personal Year Cycle
In numerology, each year of Edo's life is part of an evolving pattern that can be described as a nine-year cycle or epicycle. These cycles begin at Edo de Waart's birth and progress, one by one, through nine steps that complete an epicycle, and then begin again.

The Bottom Line on Nappy Rash
'Soft as a baby's bottom' is a popular description of how anything smooth and peachy feels.
But no matter how carefully you look after your baby's skin, they are still likely to get nappy rash at some time. In fact, it's so common that around a third of nappy wearing infants have nappy rash at any one time. [1] In most cases, however nappy rash is a mild condition which can easily be treated.
What causes nappy rash?The main cause of nappy rash is the exposure of a baby's delicate skin to external irritants such as urine (wee) and faeces (poo). [2]
Sometimes the friction of the nappy against a baby's sensitive skin or even traces of detergent left in washable nappies can be enough to lead to nappy rash.
Given that babies' bottoms spend an average of two, or more, years, encased in nappies it's no wonder that nappy rash is such a common problem.
What does nappy rash look like?The nappy area is a perfect place for a rash to develop. It's moist, dark and there's a constant supply of urine and faeces. There are different types of nappy rash:
The most common sort of nappy rash is a simple irritation. The moisture and ammonia in the urine and stools, together with rubbing against the nappy can irritate your baby's skin. Simple nappy rash may look pink or even very red, but not bright red. There may be red patches on the baby's bottom, or the whole area may be red. The baby is generally well and the redness doesn't reach into the folds of the skin. It usually disappears in a few days.
Yeast/fungal infection (Candida)Yeast can thrive in the moist, enclosed nappy area and can cause a bright red rash, often with small red pimples. A yeast infection usually causes redness in the folds and creases of a baby's skin.
Bacterial infectionThere may be yellowish, fluid-filled bumps (pustules) and possibly crusty areas. A bacterial infection is likely to need treatment with antibiotics.
Infantile eczemaSometimes a nappy rash is part of a more generalised rash. In the nappy area, the skin looks red, inflamed and flaky. The skin scales in this area are small and white and may rub off easily. The red area often extends beyond the nappy to the top of the legs, genitals and between the buttocks.
If you think your baby might have a yeast/fungal infection, a bacterial infection or infantile eczema, ask for advice from your pharmacist, Health visitor, practice nurse or GP.
7 nappy rash trigger timesRecent research has identified seven key trigger times when a baby may be more likely to develop nappy rash. Being aware of these key times means that steps can be taken to help prevent an outbreak and if the tell- tale pink or red spots do appear, they can usually be quickly treated. [1]
Looking out for these key trigger times, means you can take steps to help prevent nappy rash or treat it at the very first signs of your baby's skin becoming irritated.
PreventionThe best way to deal with nappy rash is to try to prevent your baby getting it in the first place. These simple steps will help: [2]
Change wet or soiled nappies as soon as possible. Young babies may need changing as many as 10 or 12 times a day; older babies at least six to eight times.
Leave the nappy off for a long as possible. Lie your baby on a towel without a nappy for as long and as often as you can to let fresh air get to the skin.
Clean the whole nappy area thoroughly, wiping from front to back. Use plain water or alcohol-free /fragrance-free baby wipes.
Try to avoid using soap, bubble baths, lotions or talcum powder.
Pat rather than rub your baby's bottom dry.
Use a suitable barrier cream at each nappy change before putting on a clean nappy. Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment is gentle enough to use at each nappy change.
In mild cases of simple nappy rash, follow the skincare routine above and ask your pharmacist for advice about the most appropriate nappy rash ointment for your baby. Metanium Nappy Rash Ointment* is formulated specifically to soothe and treat nappy rash. When nappy rash has cleared a barrier cream or ointment like Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment or Metanium Everyday Easy Spray can be used at each nappy change to help protect the skin. It's now also available in a handy Spray - new double-action Metanium Everyday Easy Spray Barrier Lotion protects and moisturises the skin to help prevent nappy rash.
*Metanium Nappy Rash Ointment is a medicine. Always read the label.
When to seek medical adviceAlways seek medical advice from your pharmacist, health visitor, practice nurse or GP if:
The rash doesn't clear up within a couple of days.
Your baby develops a persistent bright red, moist rash with white or red pimples, which spreads to the folds of the skin or the rash has yellow fluid-filled bumps (pustules)
The rash is getting worse rather than better after using an ointment and the skincare routine outlined above.
Your baby has a fever and a raised temperature.
Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment RRP £3.25 for 40g and Metanium Nappy Rash Ointment 30g RRP £3.99 are available from selected Asda, Boots, Morrisons, Savers, Sainsbury's and Tesco stores and leading pharmacies. Metanium Everyday Easy Spray Barrier Lotion is available in selected Boots, Morrisons and Tesco stores. RRP £5.49 for 60ml Spray (sufficient for one month's use, based on six nappy changes a day and two sprays at each change).

When Alishia is trying to climb out of the window, there is a slight noise at the door. In the silent night the sound is very audible. Thinking that the guards are back, I duck down behind the window sill.
Alishia turns around in her fright. I stretch my hand to her back. Gently tapping her, I whisper.
"I am here. Don't move from the window."
I grab the barrel of my rifle with two hands. The rifle has now turned into a club. When the guards come closer, I will hit their head with it. That should take care of them if there is only one or I have to shoot.
I watch the nearby room where those nobles are. There are still clamors from inside so hopefully the sound of beating won't be heard. I listen carefully as the door is opened.
A sound of someone holding their breathe can be heard there. Soon that someone whistles and breathes heavily. I can see Alishia gripping the window sill tightly. I stretch a hand to tap her hand and she suddenly turns it to grip mine.
"Under the moonlight you are really such a beauty. What a shame that man can't have your first night."
I tighten my grip. This voice is one of the young nobles. He looked the most calm among them just now. Who knows if he is the most lecherous?
That man closes the door slowly and locks it. Alishia grips my hand harder. I hold my rifle closely and ready to strike. Then that man comes closer.
"Come here. I will--"
"F*ck off." (Erwin)
When he stretches his hand to grab Alishia, I stand up from behind the window. With a swing of my rifle, the heavy stock hit him squarely on the temple. He flies off to the side.
"That should teach him a lesson." (Erwin)
I don't care if that accidentally killed him or seriously injured it. He is disgusting.
"Come now. We have to escape before the others find out that he is missing." (Erwin)
"Okay." (Alishia)
I help her out of the window and cover her with a black robe I bought from the village. This should at least suppress the level of exposure. I close the window again.
I carry Alishia on my back while my rifle is held by a strap on my shoulder. I take out my sidearm to deal with any alerted sentries. I confirm that my sidearm's safety is off.
Alishia doesn't have any camouflage suit and doesn't have any training in moving silently. As a result, it is hard to move without being seen. I turn on my scanner again and look for a place with as few sentries as possible.
'Left door eh? That leads to the barracks.'
I start to walk in the shadow. There are little covers here so I have to walk along the wall. Every now and then there will be guards walking nearby. We will go prone and give out as little silhouette as possible.
After a while we reach the gate leading to the barracks. There aren't any sentries here. They are all sitting down around the bonfires faraway and chat. A sloppy surveillance.
We walk around the barracks in the cover of the building's shadow. The road is clear except for that one time when a window was suddenly opened. It nearly collided with my face. The guy who opened it up, threw up from there without noticing us.
"Almost there. We are nearly out." (Erwin)
"Nn." (Alishia)
When we are nearly out of the barracks area, a bell suddenly rings out. It comes from the direction of the mansion. Shouts can be heard from inside.
The bandits around the barracks are dumbfounded. For a short while they don't know what to do. The guards of those nobles are the first ones to react. They quickly pick up their weapons and rush over to the mansion.
The others are running to their barracks. They are taking out their weapons. Soon they gather at the rally point in the center of the fort. Shouts are being heard everywhere and the fort suddenly turns lively.
The whole time Alishia and I are hiding behind barrels at the back of a barracks. We hold our breath in fear of being found. As more and more bandits gather at the rally point, our surrounding grows quiet.
I silently look around. Then I convey a message to Mary.
A single word is enough to tell her. Since she can check my location on the bracelet, Harold can organize the volunteers and mercenaries. A really convenient thing that none others in this world have.
Though I think that bell should have alerted Mary as well.
"Let's go. We have to climb that wall to get out. Harold and the others are waiting outside." (Erwin)
We run to the closest wall while avoiding the bandits. As they are gathering at the rally point, we can run almost unhindered. Soon, we reach the wall.
I lower Alishia down and glance around. There are stairs that lead up nearby. However, we would be exposed as soon as we used it. There are torches along the way up.
I look at the gathering of bandits. They are already starting to scatter around, looking for something. I weight the risk of being found on the stairs than being found when climbing.
The former allows me to retaliate while the latter doesn't. The former will expose me immediately while the latter might allow me to climb up unnoticed. I touch my rifle and think. If I have to fight them, will my rifle give me an edge over their numbers?
No. My rifle only has thirty bullets with each mag. It is hard to fight back so many bandits at once. Its psychological effects should have already lessen since they have once face firearms at the village battle. I decided to climb.
Alishia and I climb up a wall shed nearby. Up above us is the rampart edge. I turn on the sonar scanner and watch the sentries moving. Then I jump up and grab the edge when there is no one around.
"Grab my hand." (Erwin)
I pull Alishia up onto the rampart. She crawls up with difficulty. When she finally reaches the rampart, she lays down on her stomach. Then she watches me climb. With a grunt I pull myself up.
"Over there! Up on the wall!"
When I am halfway up, a shout comes up from below. I glance back and see a group of bandits looking up. Soon they shout to tell their friends.
I hurriedly climb up. The sentries on the wall have already been alerted. I pull Alishia up while swinging my rifle up to aim. Swiftly, I turn off the safety.
To my left are three sentries. To my right two more sentries. I aim to the left.
"Alishia. Close your eyes." (Erwin)
Glancing a bit at her as she closes her eyes, I open fire. Two bullets for each of them. The first bullet hit their body, stopping them. The second, their head.
Right after, I turn my body halfway around while releasing my right hand from the trigger. I hear low thuds from the fallen sentries. I pull out my sidearm with my free right hand.
I aim swiftly at the remaining two sentries on the rampart. They have stopped their sprint in fear. They raise their sword to defend themselves.
I fire at their leg first. As they reflexively hold their leg in pain, I fire on their body a few more times. I holster my sidearm again and pick up Alishia.
"Come with me." (Erwin)
I peek down from the rampart to the outside. There is nothing around yet. Harold and the others should already be on their way here. The mercenaries will cause a distraction on the other side of the fort.
I take out a rope and secure it on the parapet. Then I take out two hook and another rope. I beckon Alishia over.
"Lift your hands up." (Erwin)
Alishia lifts her hands up. I tie a rope around her waist securely. Then a hook is placed on it. I check it time and time again so that it won't fail in the critical moment. Next I give her gloves.
While I am busy, the bandits is also busy. They are gathering rapidly to us. Even the sentries from other walls are coming to us, leaving only two or three to keep watch.
I look at the approaching bandits and then my bracelet. Mary and the others are quickly approaching here but they will still need five minutes. Meanwhile, I have to defend Alishia and myself.
I lift my rifle again. The sentries are coming but they are scared so their paces are slower. They are moving with shields in their hands. I take out two flashbangs.
I pull the pins on the flashbangs and throw them to my left and right. They roll to the feet of the sentries. As they watch with strange eyes, blinding light and deafening sound disoriented them. Some sentries let out a scream as they fall from the rampart.
"Argh. My eyes!"
"I can't hear! What is this ringing! Someone stops it!"
Ignoring them, I turn my rifle to aim at the archers below. The most dangerous of them all. It's because the rampart doesn't have anything for cover against an attack from inside. I stand in front of Alishia while doing so.
"Loose! Don't let him do anything!"
'Damn it!'
At this distance the arrows are fast. One second and the arrows have already reached us. I reflexively cross my arms in front of me to cover my head and chest.
I watch from the gap in my arms as the arrows closing in fast. For my luck or the grim reaper is on vacation, none of the arrows hit me. They either hit the rampart or flew past around me with quite a distance. I quickly lift my rifle again.
"Why is none of the arrows hit him!?"
"We didn't have the time to aim!"
"Quick! Kill him quick!"
"We know!"
The frantic shout of the burly man at the back is annoying. However it is right for him to be frantic. Let the slaughter begin. My rifle points at the panicked archers.
Suddenly I feel pain on my right shoulder. Following that, my fingers are losing their strength quickly. A glance on my shoulder shows that there is an arrow embed there.
I quickly pull out the arrow with my left hand. A pool of blood instantly forms on my feet. I throw the arrow beside me and try to feel my right arms.
'There is no feeling... This is... Poison? Paralysis?'
I quickly look at my status on the bracelet. There is a warning on top of it.
"WARNING! Paralysis Poison Grade 2! Recommend immediate evacuation and treatment!"
My whole right arm is in yellow. It means that my arm can't be moved. In general there is three grade of status. Green means that it is functioning normally. Yellow means it is not properly functioning (temporary disabled). Red means decapitated or no longer can be used (permanently disabled).
The yellow color is spreading slowly. My right chest is already losing feeling. The poison is strong.
"For injuring our young master, I will have you tortured. All of you! I have disabled his arm. Capture him. Anyone who can catch him will be rewarded a gold coin."
There is a young man with bow on top of a carriage. Beside him there are six other guards. The bandits regain their calm under his command. They get excited on the mention of reward and swarm to climb the rampart soon after.
The sentries also don't want to lose. They throw away their shield and quickly run up to us. The archers lower their bows as to not hurt their friends. They also seems to want to run up the rampart.
I pull out my sword and hold off the sentries. Due to my suit, I have much more power than them. I knock them back with each brute strike of my sword. However, it is getting tiring and more of them are coming. The power of the suit is getting lower and lower as the battery is getting low.
"What a brute! He is so small but his strength is not a joke."
"He is getting tired. Surround him."
Suddenly there is a sudden war cry from the wall opposite of us. Beyond the wall is bright as if there is someone that burns the forest. The startled sentries on that side turn their sight from the spectacle on this side.
A round of arrows suddenly turn almost all of them into hedgehogs. They drop down from the rampart. Another war cry sounds out. This time, even louder than before. The bandits stare in a stupid daze.
"Enemy attacks!"
One of the bandits suddenly shouts. The rest of the bandits recover themselves from their daze state. The bandit at the back shouts to the others.
"Quickly! Man the rampart! Don't let them get inside!"
For a moment they seem to forget about Alishia and I. I knock the sentries around me down the rampart and quickly bring Alishia closer to the parapet. Before hitting the ground, the sentries can only let out a short scream.
I hook her to the rope then ask her to wear the gloves and tighten it. I also hook myself on the rope. We crouch down as to not draw any unnecessary attention at this point of time.
The bandits are rushing to the other side without any sense of order. Some of them are trying to get the order back but they failed miserably. Even when the sentries I knocked down screamed, they didn't seem to hear it.
"Don't let them escape! We still have intruders here!"
Unfortunately, the young man from before still remembers us. He shouts at the guards around him.
They are still in orderly formation around him. After he shouts, the guards quickly form into three groups of two and run up the rampart where Alishia and I are on.
I briefly check the whereabouts of Mary. Approximately one minute until their arrival.

Yesterday morning our internet access dropped out. After about 13 hours of troubleshooting we found that our Cisco Aironet single band access points were causing the modem to crash. Cox communications is our service provider and they were not much help in troubleshooting this issue. Their modem gets an error that says it is getting an extreme about of network congestion (30mbps) or electrical feedback from the cat 6 cable connected to the modem. I have placed a switch in between the router and modem to see if that would eliminate the electrical feedback. It didnt fix the problem so I think we can rule out electrical feedback. This set up has worked for about 6 months and we have not made any network changes to the devices. What could the wireless access points be doing to cause a modem to crash?

Reboot them? Firmware up to date?
Something in the area (Rogue) trying to connect causing issues?
Jul 27, 2011 at 10:01 UTC
After hours today I want to plug them back in the port on the switch, but unplugg all access points. Then plug them in one by one to see which one it is and then from there see what devices are accessing it.

That would be a great start Duff,
If it was working and now all of the sudden something is messed up, I suspect hardware failure.
Once you narrow it down should be easy enough to determine.
Let me know what you find out.

- ↑ The Doppelganger Devil cannot switch Devil Arms after being created, so retains the Devil form Dante was in when it was spawned.

You can preserve whole sunflowers of any size by using a number of methods, depending on whether you want to make them last longer while fresh or dried. Floral preservative keeps sunflowers looking their best for fresh flower projects, while air-drying and desiccant preserve sunflowers for dried arrangements and other decorative craft projects. Dried sunflowers keep their color well unless they are exposed to direct sunlight. Keep dry sunflowers away from heat and flame, and keep bleach and desiccant out of the reach of children.
Choose the Flowers
Select sunflowers that are just beginning to open as well as sunflowers with their petals partly extended. For fresh flowers to put in a vase of water, cut the sunflowers first thing in the morning and put them in water immediately. To dry them, pick the sunflowers in the afternoon when they have the least amount of water in them, and don't put them in water. Avoid using sunflowers that have been in full bloom for more than a day or two. Older flowers deteriorate faster. Mature dried sunflowers might also attract rodents and insects because of their tasty seeds.
Cut the Stems
Cut the flowers with hand clippers or a sharp knife. For large sunflowers to arrange in tall vases, cut at least 2 feet of stem for good proportion. For garlands, headbands and small craft projects, 1 foot of stem is enough to hang the sunflowers to dry. If you plan to dry them in dessicant, leave only a 1-inch stem. Because of their bulk, sunflowers aren't good candidates for pressing.
Extend Their Vase Life
Sunflowers last longer in water if you seal the stems, and it takes only 20 seconds of high heat to do so. Dip the stems ends in a pan of boiling water or hold each cut end to a candle flame. This keeps the sunflowers from losing their sap in the water and preserves their vitality. Use floral preservative in the vase water or make your own. Add a dash of household bleach to equal parts water and a soft drink. Use a soda that contains sugar, not artificial sweetener. Keep the sunflowers in a cool spot and change their water daily to prolong their vase life.
Air-Dry the Blooms
To air-dry sunflowers, cut off all the leaves. Hold three or four with the flower heads staggered at different heights so they aren't touching, and put a rubber band or cord around the stems. Put an S-hook through the rubber band or tie a loop in the cord to hang them from a nail, clothes hangers or clothesline in a cool, dry place. Air circulation helps them dry, so choose a roomy area such as a garage or storeroom over a crowded closet. It isn't necessary to dry sunflowers in the dark. If the sun is shining brightly in your drying area, put paper bags over the flower heads to prevent fading. Hanging them upside-down reduces dust on the flower faces. Hang very large sunflowers individually. Drying time varies by climate, the humidity in the room, and the size and variety of sunflower.
Use Silica or the Microwave
Layer sunflower heads in coffee or cookie tins with silica gel, a desiccant sold at hardware stores and garden centers. Pour 2 inches of silica in the bottom of the container; set a sunflower on the dessicant face-up; and gently pour in at least an inch of silica gel, moving from the outsides of the container to the center. Repeat the process for as many sunflowers as the container will hold, allowing for an inch of dessicant on the top flower. It takes about a week to dry them, but this method gives the best color-retention. Mexican sunflowers, also called Tithonia, dry in 5 to 6 minutes in a microwave oven. Leave them standing in a container for 10 minutes after microwaving. These flowers have compact flower heads; bulkier sunflower varieties aren't good candidates for microwave drying.

Start using twice a day. The results sneak up on you. Suddenly the bags are less noticable and the darkness is fading. Ty Osmotics!
Found it similar to other moisturizers!
I was skeptical when I first purchased this, as Ive purchased many eye creams in this price range and seen little or no results. This is the first product Ive found that actually produces results for this price. I will definitely continue to repurchase. Ive been using this for almost two months twice a day and have definitely noticed a reduction of eye circles, puffiness, and fine lines. Also, you only need a tiny drop each time you use it. Ive barely made a dent in my bottle after two months.
This is one of my favorite products ever! I use this with the Clarsonic Opal. I have very bad allergies. In the mornings I have really bad bags under my eyes and this helps me work the bags out from under my eyes. This has been about the only product that has worked for that.
I have been experiencing both creping eyelids and under-eye puffiness every morning ( all of a sudden & everyday!). So, this is why I decided to give this product a try. I did read a review which stated it didnt moisturize the under-eye area enough. I have been using this amazingly effective product for a few weeks now and am so happy with the results!! It does what it claims! However, I did too notice it did not moisturize enough for my 46yr old under eye area. After this cream dries, I then apply the other, equally amazing Teamine eye cream product. They work wonderful together!!
After just a few uses, my make-up was no longer pooling in the creases under my eyes...they had softened that much!

Twitter Reacts to Steph Curry's Unbelievable, Astounding, Insane, Record-Breaking Night
Steph Curry is a golden god.
Most Popular
The world is running out of adjectives to describe Steph Curry's record-breaking performance against Oklahoma City on Saturday night.
The superstar's game-winning, overtime buzzer beater tied the NBA record for most threes in a game. Curry also broke his own NBA record for the most three-pointers in a single season—with 24 regular season games left! Just watch.

Not content to only break records on the court, Curry lit up the scoreboard from downtown and lit up the ratings numbers. According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, the game was the NBA's highest-rated, regular-season game since 2013 (excluding Christmas).
If Twitter could have crowned Curry the 2016 MVP last night, it would have.

Mixing the contemporary with vintage nostalgia, HIRSCHFELD'S HARLEM (Glenn Young, $75) pairs Al Hirschfeld's Harlem drawings with commentary from a dizzying variety of African-American notables -- some intimately involved with Harlem, past and present, some not. Each is cleverly matched with a drawing. Representative Charles B. Rangel considers ''Sugar Hill Statesman''; the Rev. James A. Forbes discusses the preacher of ''Yeah, Men!''; Eartha Kitt celebrates ''Cocoa Venus,'' a smoldering odalisque. Drawings of Harlem's legendary dances show Hirschfeld's line at its greatest: the Lindy Hop and the Boogie-Woogie carry the book from its Harlem pages to ''Hirschfeld's Gallery of African American Legends,'' a sampling of illustrations from The New York Times. If this section is perhaps a victim of somewhat lazy editing (what, for instance, is Halle Berry accepting the Oscar doing in the middle of the introductory essay on the Harlem Renaissance?) the two halves are indeed linked -- for Hirschfeld, the great chronicler of theater, Harlem was but another stage. This goes some way toward explaining the inscrutably masked countenance that features on so many of the figures depicted. Many of the habitués of Hirschfeld's Harlem have no eyes -- that is to say, they can't look back. As has often been true, Harlem remains in the eye of the beholder.

Wayside Waifs
By: Mason A.
I think that evryone should volunteer for Wayside Waifs because it rescues animals with no homes at all. Also it gives the animals a place to live instead of a dump. Wavesid Waifs is a wonderful place to adopt and it gives families great pets like it gave Joanna a great pet. It even rescued adosin pets from exterem heat and 3 puppies. They also gave tons of homes to dogs like Colt or Henry. In conclusion wavesid waifs is a great place to volunteer.

The last phase of a nine phase long election comes to an end three days from now. And in this phase, is the most talked about Varanasi constituency witnessing the battle of titans (NaMo Vs AK) not seen in recent times. In fact, in a recent Time poll both figured in 100 most influential people in the world. It is rare to see a political fight between 2 Time 100 influential people in the same instance when they feature in the publication- and hence there is a large interest from international media too.
Many political commentators and analysts enamored by a nationwide Modi Wave (Or Tsunami) have all but declared a clear victory for BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate. Most believe that it is only the margin of victory which remains to be seen on 16th, when counting of votes begins. A critical analysis of various underlying factors, however, could dent this over optimism.
Varanasi has 16 lakh voters. According to rough estimates published in sections of the press, there are about 3 lakh Brahmins, 1.75 lakh Bhuihars, 1.5 lakh Thakurs and other upper castes, 4 lakh OBCs, 2.2 lakhs Dalits, 2.5 lakh Muslims, and 1.2 lakh others (Bengalis, Panjabis, South Indians etc). In the last election (2009), the voting percentage was a low 42.5% and BJP's Murali Manohar Joshi (2,03,122 votes 30.52% of votes) won with a small margin of 17,211 votes by beating BSP candidate Mukthar Ansari (1,85,911 votes 27.94% votes). Varanasi's electorate of 1.5 million has chosen a BJP candidate every time since 1991, with the exception of 2004 when the Congress party won the seat. It is essentially a traditional BJP stronghold.

The city has been acknowledged as the cultural hub of the country. It is also the industrial and trading capital of eastern UP. Varanasi is famous for its silk and saree industry. But the skilled Muslim weavers of Banarasi sarees have to face a lot of difficulties in carrying on. The infrastructure in terms of roads is poor with a plethora of potholes and heaps of garbage welcoming visitors at every turn. Traffic is in shambles. There are regular power cuts rendering industries idle for long stretches. Water supply is erratic. The neglect of most sacred river Ganges is all too evident.
Elections 2014
The present contest is essentially between BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Mr. Narendra Modi and founder of anti- corruption political outfit AAP, Arvind Kejriwal. Congress Candidate Mr. Ajay Rai was a SP candidate in 2009 and finished third, securing 1,23,874 votes (18.61%). He has been extended support by Mr. Mukhtar Ansari who finished second in the last elections. However, this combination of second and third contestants last time has hardly enthused voters as they have changed sides and their inner personal bitterness has overshadowed public bonhomie. Even the appeal of local (Ajay Rai) vs outsiders (NaMo/AK) has hardly cut ice with the electorate as both the outsiders are political heavyweights – one a potential Prime Minister and the other a crusader for a new political era successfully experimented in Delhi.
Modi promises development and good days ahead- achhe din aane vaale hain. However, the challenger Kejriwal pricks the so called Gujarat model , questions crony capitalism of Modi and his trust of the corrupt entrants in his party. It is back to basics, the common man as epicenter of decision making and development; Kejriwal promises an alternative model of Governance- mujhe chahiye swaraj. His opponents dub the high drama in his 49 day Government in Delhi and call him an anarchist/escapist. The debate escalates further to Modi's role in 2002 riots, Snoop Gate, links with Adani/ Ambani etc. The BJP retaliates with a strong record of Modi in Gujarat government against an irresponsible resignation by Kejriwal in 2 months in Delhi; a proven track record of Modi vs a rank outsider shying away from responsibility.

The battle is essentially a battle of mind space. A fight between status quo political order and a yearning for change. An anarchist vs an authoritarian. It will be interesting to see how this culminates on May 12th – the voting day. However, a few factors which could have a bearing are listed below.
The X Factors:
Two States
- Modi has decided to contest from two states: Vadodara in Gujarat and Varanasi in UP. In case he wins both, he has to retain one and give up the other. The voters in Varanasi may have the apprehension of being left in the lurch, if Modi vacates Varanasi.
- Varanasi has a large number of weavers who have been losing market and a part of that is attributed to power looms of Surat in Gujarat. How will Modi position himself to strike a balance remains a challenge.
Anti- Incumbency
- There is a strong anti-incumbency against the ruling Congress. However, it may also be borne in mind that in Varanasi the M.P., MLAs and Corporate are from BJP and certainly a part of anti-incumbency will adversely affect BJP too for poor performance of their representatives in addressing people's problems.
Love for Varanasi
- People are debating why Modi chose to contest from Varanasi. The route to PM's chair goes through UP. But, BJP has not been doing well in UP for quite some time now. Especially in Purvanchal (east and north-east UP), its performance had been poor. Out of 29 LS seats, it won just three in 2004 and four in 2009. Modi's candidature is primarily a political manoeuvre rather than a new found love for Varanasi.
- This election has been one of the most polarized elections and has been touching new lows. Varanasi itself witnessed unprecedented heat in the fag end of electioneering yesterday (8th May) when BJP protested against local administration's refusal to permit holding of rally. The conduct of Election Commission itself was questioned. Of late, Mr. Modi himself has also been playing victim and flaunting his OBC origin. The polarization takes sheen from the Modi armor of development and good governance.
Open Debate AK Vs NaMo
- Arvind Kejriwal has been daring Narendra Modi for a public debate in Varanasi. BJP has been evasive predictably on the issue.
- Pitted against a very resourceful, well organized machinery of BJP/RSS, Kejriwal stands grounded hopping from one village to another with small meetings. His message is simple. Congress and BJP represent the same political establishment. He stands for a common man centric new political order. His army of dedicated volunteers reaches door to door to canvass for such a new political order.

In the run up to the elections there have been huge polarizations across castes and communities. Newton's Law has been in full force. To each action there is an equal and opposite reaction. To the strong current (wave) there is equally a strong undercurrent of mistrust and rejection of existing political order. And the multimillion dollar question is: Will Varanasi choose spring over saffron?

Britney Spears' "Criminal" Video
Wow. Britney and her real-life boyfriend Jason Trawick star in an unexpectedly violent and transfixing five-minute short film about crime and passion. He's got a few too many hilarious fake tattoos (does his chest say "Goose"?), and she puts on an astonishing amount of perfume, but otherwise, A+, could not be better.

Firefox: Validations and conditions not working on form due to Date Picker widgetsAsked by EpiscopalSeniorLife on April 28, 2015 at 03:14 PMAlso, the second issue is with conditions on IE/FireFox. There is an "add another employee?" radio button, (that only works in Chrome) that is defaulted to "no", and the subsequent employee fields are hidden. When the user changes the option to "yes" those fields should show up again.
JotForm Support
I was able to reproduce the issue in Firefox browser. A bug report ticket has been forwarded to our Development Team for consideration.
In the meantime, you can switch to an iFrame embedding method. It should fix the issue with your embedded form.
Thank you.
Thank you for that. I will swap to the iFrame method now.
I have used the iFrame code while waiting for your reply, but that appears to have its own separate issue now. Using firefox on a mac, there is crazy white space at the end of the form, but firefox on a PC it doesn't have any extra white space. Using chrome on a PC there is a different amount of white space.
Has there been a response to the bug report yet?
As soon as there is any response from our developers, you will see it on this thread and receive an email notification about it.
At this time there is no update in regards to this, but I see the cause of the white space.
It is caused by the lack of the script part that comes together with the iframe form in charge of resizing it.
As your jotform is embedded using pure iframe code, you should change its height to have less white space if you so desire.
Do let us know how it goes.
JotForm Support
We have updated the date picker widget - so your conditions should work normally on all browsers.
I've tested a copy of your form with JS Embed and conditional logic responds as expected.
Kindly embed using the script embed method and try it out -
Please Let us know if you have further difficulty.

The sales process helps us finding weaknesses and strengths. If you wondered about how many contacts you need to do to close a sale, know that you are on track.
This sales process is not mandatory. Each company will have its procedures related to business and operational requirements of their products / services.
Let's look at the stages of a process that adapts to most businesses:
This is the first phase of the sales process. It is very important to get an updated list of contacts properly filtered and entities with healthy financial situation.
The Lead is a converted contact. That is, it is designated as a lead, a contact who expressed interest.
With getting leads, opportunities are generated. At this stage, you identify the customer's needs. The aim is to serve the client with the products / services that are most appropriate and make the conversion to sale. A well-founded qualification is a good basis for budgeting.
At this stage, a proposal is drafted and sent to the customer, because their needs were located and identified as a business opportunity.
We enter the final threshold of the conversion to sale, when a client initiates a response to the proposal. At this point, the business is won or lost.
We are in the capital phase, one that translates into revenue.
Individuals and entities, at all times, have empty holes they intend to fill. From an effective sales method, any commercial team capable can identify these needs and remedy them with your products / services. There is always someone interested in buying and someone interested in selling. Selling is knowing how to connect these two points.
