Photographer's Note
The Neue Pinakothek in Munich. Outside the museum a large poster hanging on the wall. It is a painting (detail) of the painter Johann Friedrich Overbeck entitled "Italia and Germania".
The dreaming girl right in the picture was of course the main reason for this photo.

Hello Wolfgang,
You has two subjects on the same picture, the painting as wonderful artwork, but also this young girl exactly wait on her friend.
Wonderful composition, excellent presentation.

Hello Wolfgang,
Art mirrors real life or, maybe, real life mirrors art. Perfect capture of this opportune moment. Well exposed and ideally framed.

Hi Wolfgang,
a cool composition. You're right, the girl really makes the shot and I like her expression that seems to mimic the one on the painting.
holmertz (63212) 2014-03-13 13:03
Hello Wolf,
Without the girl the view of the poster would have been nothing. Without the poster the view of the girl would still have been quite nice. Together they make a fine trio of attractive faces. Well seen, as usual.
Kind regards,

Hello Wolfgang,
This is a delightful photograph, so well seen and so very well taken!
Your composition is wonderfully simple and the simple lines of the steps and stonework, running parallel to the bottom of the frame, do not distract from the two main subjects which are perfectly placed. The large poster shows a picture of idyllic beauty and harmony from ages past but the dreaming girl on the right brings us right up to the 21st century with her modern and relaxed clothing. I wonder what she is dreaming of?
Lovely light and colours, perfect composition and exquisite details and sharpness.
Kind Regards,

Hi Wolfgang,
A fine picture with both this impressive painting together with a young girl. I like the way she holds her legs along an imaginary diagonal line up through the eyes above.
Kind regards

Hello Wolfgang
A fine piece of work! And of course you're right: without the girl sitting on the steps, you wouldn't have a photograph. Great juxtaposed composition.

hello wWolfgang
Conflict of the generations, I appreciate well the WS though the main picture has sweet soft hues.

Hi Wolfgang!
Once again you captured a very good street photo! Great composition with the poster and the girl sitting on the stairs, that seem completely lost in her thoughts and unaware of your presence! Very well seen!
fotka (5077) 2014-04-29 5:34
Hi Wolfgang,
You nicely united two topics: art and daily life. I like the composition with the poster in the center and the young girl on the right side. Well done with an excellent colors, light, sharpness.

Hello Dhamma Wheel forum.
FijiNut here.
A little bit about myself below.
Ajahn Chandako and Tan Mettiko,
Thank you very much for sharing your tales of travel.
I think what especially touched my heart was your "Tales of Tudong Pt. 6 - Kingdom Come".
I am of Chinese descent and I work in a restaurant in Nadi, Fiji.
My family migrated from Guangdong in the late 70's and made Fiji their home.
So it was a sight to behold this little skimpy Chinese lad playing barefoot in the dust and heat with his Fijian brothers.
You talked about beliefs and being in a different cultural environment from at home and at school, I had the privilege of being exposed to different beliefs; my parents were non-demoninational traditional sort of Confusionists(pun intended), I attended Catholic school till 8th grade-you can imagine religious classes were my favourite time - I loved arguing with my orthodox-bispectabled nuns.
Middleschool I attended Swami Vivekanda High School- named after the famous reformist Hindu from India, student of Shri Ramakrishna.
I figured there was something amiss and then in University I discovered Buddhism and it was like a relief or refuge of coming into a warm house from the cold pouring rain. But it was actually Mahayana/Varjrayana that I had inadvertently been reading about. And then I came across http://www.accesstoinsight.org and came across an interesting hyperlink that said thai forest traditions and then I knew I was home.
In my understanding, all religions have good qualities, but it doesn't address the 3rd unwholesome root - delusion the same way the Buddha has so precisely elaborated.
All other religions counteract with greed and hatred in certain ways.
But how profound it is when the Buddha said that he taught nothing else but the Dukkha and the Cessation of Dukkha. There is no dogma, nothing to lose, nothing to gain, experience it for yourself and then see if it makes sense.
"Try before you buy!" and if you like the view up here, jump on board!
This is not to discount other factors of the path, but somehow, for myself, the question of saddha/faith and that of hard work and conviction has been always been the challenge.
It is somehow sometimes easier to mediocre and be pessimistic in this day and age.
It is easy because it is the default thing to do. And it doesn't require effort!
Just like your crusader, it is easier to avoid the road less taken.
But working in a restaurant with a bar and having met people from all walks of life who have been successful, it seems that their success can only be attributed to their hard work and perseverance.
But yet their success comes at a price, either they have family issues, morality issues or somehow, they have this gnawing sense of dissatisfaction in terms of what society had made them believe falsely, "Gain money and power and you shall live happily ever after".
For many of them, they have gained money and power but yet they feel that they've been short changed and been sold a lie.
I feel I've been sold a lie. There is no pot of gold at the end of rainbow. Happiness does not exist in the future, nor in the past so where does it exist? In this fleeting moment of the present?
But perhaps it might be a blessing in disguise as the Buddha talked about the benefits of renunciation and dispassion towards the material world.
But yet it seems hard, just as you said the intentions behind beliefs are more important than the belief itself, I had to examine my own views and then I realized that my intentions weren't pure, I was merely just trying to run away from the stress, hassles, and responsibilities of running a business, it wasn't a noble cause of trying to reach enlightenment. It was more push factor than pull.
So I have to suck my stomach in and roll with the punches - its been nearly 3 years now and it definitely has made me a better person.
The sense of dispassion is still there, but I realize that to be able to financially support 20 of my staff must be good merit.
(Apart from the unfortunate live crab and happen to end up on my shopping list!). We do serve alcohol but it isn't really a problem; my clients don't come here to get mindlessly drunk.
It is not easy running a restaurant, but this is my kamma for now, and I have learnt to accept that responsibility with a little bit more equanimity now.
And in the meantime - I try to maintain my 5 precepts and and a little bit of quiet meditation every now and then.
But as I have learnt so far in my 26 years on this planet, nothing in life comes easy and to progress on the practice a lot of hard work needs to be done.
Besides there is no such thing as free lunch. [pun intended ]
With metta,
Sung Zen Low aka fijiNut
^ yes my real name on my birth certificate!
update with the restaurant - I have put the restaurant under management now, to straighten my sila.

If you're thinking of planning a jaunt to New York, early summer is a great time to visit. You'll benefit from the long days and warm evenings without the heavy humidity (and hoards of tourists) that plague the city later in the summer.
True to its name, the city the never sleeps has a packed calendar of events every week of the year. Here's a few of our top culture picks for June that will keep you entertained in between shopping 'til you drop and eating like a king.
Governors Ball Music Festival
Governors Ball is a festival with a difference. Held on Randall's Island in the East River (accessible by foot, car, transit and ferry), this four-year-old event is quickly becoming a major contender on the summer music circuit. Headliners this year include Outkast and Vampire Weekend as well as up-and-comers Bastille and Foster the People. June 6-8.
Museum Mile
Take part in New York's biggest block party on June 10 when Fifth Avenue becomes a moving art fest. The 23 blocks of 'Museum Mile' (from 82nd-105th Streets) are closed to traffic from 6-9pm as institutions including the Guggeheim and the Met open their doors free of charge. Enjoy the carnival atmosphere as art lovers wander from place to place accompanied by live music. June 10.
Macbeth, Park Avenue Armory
Acclaimed actor Kenneth Branagh makes his New York theater debut in this eagerly anticipated show – a must-see for all Shakespeare fans. The original UK production was staged in an eerie disused church, and the US version aims for a similarly immersive experience at the atmospheric and historic Armory. Also starring Alex Kingston (E.R.) as Lady Macbeth, this new staging promises to bring the play to life in a new way. June 7-22.
Blue Note Jazz Festival June 1-30
With over 150 performances at venues throughout the city, the Blue Note Festival has something for everyone. Highlights include Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin at the iconic Radio City Music Hall (June14-15), to legendary pianist and composer André Previn in concert with jazz bassist Christian McBride (June 6-8). For a truly unique experience, the Harlem Gospel Choir Sunday Brunch (June 23rd) is hard to beat – the combination of soul-food brunch and soul-pleasing music is sure to put you in a good mood for the rest of the day.
Matilda, Shubert Theatre
Musical comedian Tim Minchin's adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic won four Tony awards last year, and has been delighting audiences in London and New York ever since. The story of one child's quest to rid her school of its hideous headmistress Miss Turnbull, Matilda is a sure-fire hit for the whole family.

I use computerized strategies based on the writings of Wall Street's best-known gurus to choose stocks, and 2012 produced several strategies that performed particularly well. The strategies of Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffet and Kenneth Fisher posted returns of 33.8%, 15.1% and 15.1%, respectively, in 2012. By comparison, the S&P 500 returned 13.4% for the year. Of course, there's no guarantee that these strategies will be big winners in 2013, but they are certainly worth paying attention to.
My Graham-based strategy highlights Dolby Laboratories (DLB), which creates audio, image and voice technologies for the entertainment industry. The strategy focuses on Coach's more than $900 million in annual sales, current ratio of 6.19, zero debt and modest price-to-earnings ratio of 12.2. The company's management is financially conservative, which the Graham strategy also favors.
The strategy based on Warren Buffett's approach to investing points to Coach (COH), best known for its leather goods, including handbags and belts. It has more than 800 stores in the U.S., Canada and Asia, as well as boutiques in department stores and specialty retailers. The Buffett strategy focuses on Coach's strong brand name, which gives it a competitive advantage, earnings per share that have increased in nine of the past 10 years, lack of debt and a projected average rate of return to investors of 20.7% over the next 10 years. Coach is a strong performer with a solid market niche.
The Ken Fisher strategy pulled up Ascena Retail Group (ASNA), parent of Lane Bryant, Justice and other retailers that cater to women and tweens. The strategy considers Ascena a "super stock" because its price-to-sales ratio is a very attractive 0.70 and its debt is modest. In addition, the company's inflation-adjusted EPS growth rate exceeds 15%, while its three-year average net profit margin is greater than 5%. These factors are strong reasons to like this stock.
All three strategies were strong performers last year, and have been for many years. So when they recommend a stock, pay attention.

I think we have arrived at a crossroads -- one at which I arrived weeks ago -- at which it pays to do three things: (1) try and trade headlines; (2) short the market; (3) stay the heck out of it altogether.
It shouldn't be a surprise that I am mouthing any of this handy advice. Figure it this way: The programmed machines, and the dying art that is floor trading, are finally starting to realize that the economy is quickly approaching a lose-lose, short-term-death spot. The market has been quietly warning of this impending rough patch, but one just had to be cognizant of where to look. For me, it came over a week ago, when consumer discretionary stocks began to technically disintegrate and transports were doing next to zilch as most market participants gorged on misguided euphoria juice.
So, instead of forcing any unwarranted market call, I thought it best to add a little value by decoding the U.S. consumer. Very soon, the stories of the final days of the holiday season will be told, and they will confirm the poor action in the stocks -- or so I believe, since Mr. Market is a blood brother. Here are bunches of behind-the-scenes notes I have concocted to unleash in coming weeks, including at 30-and-under parties this weekend.
Fiscal-cliff fever has reached Main Street. I sensed it permeating the minds of many on Black Friday, and it seems to have escalated ever since. I can't explain how I know; just trust me. I've been doing this for a while.
Call: Consumer-Stock Sector
On Cyber Monday, I made the decision to exit all consumer-facing stocks for clients -- which, incidentally, explains why I've hardly made any mentions in this area. If there is one lesson I have learned through the years, it's that one shouldn't be married to consumer stocks when there is a strong conviction of an impending sentiment shift.
In this case, my view was that Cyber Monday would be the climax in terms of holiday enthusiasm, and that the season would progressively worsen from the standpoint of sales and sentiment. If you have exposure to this sector, I suggest you cut bait and mitigate further losses, as we are staring into a double storm. The first phase of it is that market sentiment will slam stocks, signaling soft conclusions to the fourth quarter. Next, as fourth-quarter outlooks are issued in early January, stocks will be whacked again.
High End vs. Low End
The high-end is a different story, though it's no great shakes either. This area is able to tap into three powerful, beneficial forces that have come about in 2012 to maintain holiday spending plans: rising home values, rising stock prices and better jobs for those with a more advanced education. I don't think there will be a 2008-to-2008-like slaughter in high-end consumption for the holidays, but I would bring the following areas to your attention.
Tiffany (TIF) issued another dreadful earnings-guidance range last week, and the stock got pummeled. The main problem: sales weakness in items prices under $500. This area is usually ripe for sales to "aspirational luxury shoppers," or those who can't really afford something but buy it anyway.
Away from that, I've seen really disturbing price action in luxury retail stocks since Black Friday. The key names to look at are Nordstrom (JWN); Macy's (M), which owns Bloomingdale's; Coach (COH); and Michael Kors (KORS). The two favorable outliers have been Saks (SKS) and American Express (AXP), and that makes me think upper-upper-end consumers will have a normal holiday season. (I assume that, in terms of tax-planning, they are well taken care and are the ones that have truly benefited from rising stock prices and so on.)
How to be Actionable
Remember, I personally am uninvolved. But if you are a cowboy or cowgirl, keep trading around odd, positive stories. Best Buy (BBY) still strikes me as having upside potential off a possible deal (see my recent posts on Columnist Conversation). Also, it's Saks as opposed to American Express, and J.C Penney's price action hints at rare, respectable holiday news: play the rumor and dump at earnings time.
Fun Talking Points to Have Handy
- The majority of consumer stocks are flat to down from when Black Friday/Cyber Monday data were issued.
- Michigan consumer sentiment is 10 points away from the average of the most recent recession.
- Lululemon's (LULU) new puffer jacket line was actually met with price resistance; the price needs to be re-ticketed.

TWO underweight and parasite-infested cob-type ponies abandoned in 'desperate' surroundings are being nursed back to health at a horse resc- ue centre.
The pair were rescued by HAPPA, at Shores Hey Farm, Burnley, earlier this month. They were alerted to their plight after a call made to the charity by a passer-by.
Equine inspector David McCormick said: "Concern had grown about these young ponies which had been plac-ed in a field some months ago with other horses.
"Someone had been checking on the group to see if any owners came to tend to them, but there appeared to be no-one taking responsibility for their welfare.
"The biggest concern was the extremely busy road next to the field. The other ponies in this field had broken out and run loose on the road.
"Since then they had been moved, but these two young colts had been left behind.
"No-one knew who had moved the other ponies and there were no claims of ownership."
The HAPPA rescue team responded, and transported the animals from West Lanc-ashire to the centre to begin rehabilitation.
The two young colts are estimated to be about a year old.
They are on a rehabilitation programme as they were underweight, and badly infested with lice.
The young ponies, who are yet to be named, will be with HAPPA for at least three years before they are old en-ough to rehabilitate, be schooled and rehomed.
The newest residents join 55 other equines at the centre.
The cob-type ponies are known for their good temperament.
"These ponies are sadly typical of the problem that we have to address," said HAPPA's Amanda Berry.
"Fly grazing, which is where equines are grazed on land without permission of the owner, is a problem which is increasing.
"Often these animals are abandoned without an owner coming forward. They are usually young uncastrated males, such as these, which have little, or no, value in the equine trade."

Cubs recall RHP Blake Parker from Triple-A Iowa
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs today recalled right-handed pitcher Blake Parker from Triple-A Iowa. Parker will serve as the club's 26th man for their game tonight against the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field.

The righthander is 1-1 with a 6.57 ERA (9 ER/12.1 IP) in nine big league outings this year. In parts of three major league seasons since making his debut with the Cubs in 2012, Parker is 2-3 with one save and a 3.76 ERA (27 ER/64.2 IP) in 65 relief appearances. He was 1-2 with one save and a 2.72 ERA (14 ER/46.1 IP) in 49 relief outings with the Cubs in 2013.

Unscientific but Effective Hedged Portfolio Experiment
As the market continues to confuse and confound the vast majority of participants I thought it would be a good time to go back and check on my hedged portfolio experiment. I have been tracking two portfolios, one of stocks in the S&P 500 (SPY) that are down more than 50% in the past year and one of index components that are lagging the market and trade below book value.
I have not been as scientific with the tracking and rebalancing as I should have been but I find the results to be none the less informative. We need to see how the approach holds up in a severe decline but so far it works fairly well delivering solid returns with lower volatility....600 more words left in this article.

hello, I'm programming PHP on novice level (i'm just starting) and I'm looking form the best code editor to make my work more effective.I'm thinking about Eclipse or maybe, I think, simpler: notepad-6-1-7
Any advices?
I suggest Aptana based on eclipse (you mentioned) or Sublime 2
i think u can visit http://w3schools.com,,may be it can help u,,
First I would check out this prior thread http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?859541-Editor&highlight=editor
Then I'd also personally recommend Sublime Text 2 and phpStorm. I actually went with phpStorm because it had built in Profiler and xDebug support (I've heard Eclipse and NetBeans have this too)
I use Netbeans and I'm very happy with it, it's a great piece of free software. For simpler edits and for occasional direct FTP editing I use jEdit, which is an excellent editor for a huge number of programming languages but requires installing plugins for much of its functionality.
I tried Eclipse some time ago but I remember it being very slow and some most basic editor features were missing like drag&drop copying of text or line wrapping (have they managed to finally implement it?). Netbeans also has its weak points but for me not as many and the recent version is really fast.
When coding on novice level I would recommend a simple notepad++ on windows or any editor on *nix that does syntax highlighting.
Start with basic editors for basic programming or otherwise you'll end up spending more time on how to figure out how your development environment works instead of advancing in your programming skills, which might end up in big frustration.

Coppa. Basquese. Prosciutto Culatello. Fleur de Sel caramels. And a wedge of fudgy cake. It's nearly poetry, isn't it? Yes, and it's also the contents of a bag I received as a gift recently. A fragrant, intoxicating, magical gift. I pulled out the butcher-paper wrapped packages of charcuterie and pressed them to my nose, inhaling deeply as my friend Rob explained that he had picked up this treasure trove at a nearby store called Picnic, and there were little signs with information about the provenance of the food items, so he thought the meat would be within my comfort zone for ethical farming practices. I could have cried just a little right then, cradling the meat in my arms as the utter sweetness and thoughtfulness of the whole thing sunk in.
I was filled with a primitive urge to tear the packages open with my teeth and bolt the contents like a hungry wolf after the kill, scattering shreds of waxed paper. I resisted however. I wanted to wait, get some bread and cheese for sandwiches, to do this right.
Later, when I arrived at Michael's place with the goods, he also took a deep sniff and smiled. "This takes me back," was all he said, but I knew what he meant. Last summer, we spent two weeks travelling through Spain. When we first arrived in Barcelona, punch-drunk from jet lag, we sat down at an outdoor café in a sunny square and ordered a plate of assorted meats and manchego cheese. And then we ate salty, delicate, melt-in-your-mouth cured pork at least once a day for the rest of that trip.
We had thin-sliced, salty jamon in outdoor restaurants. We ate a memorable racion of heaped-up meats, cheese, and a few rough-torn hunks of bread served on a wooden platter at a street festival in Pamplona. And bocadillos (baguette sandwiches) stuffed with different combinations of meats, purchased from vendors or made ourselves, for picnics or on trains or just to fortify ourselves until the restaurants opened up for dinner at 9:00 pm. The smell of that bag stirred a deep sense-memory that included red wine, sunshine, street performers, the hot ancient Roman stones of Toledo, the dust and sweat and adrenaline of Pamplona, the gritty salt tang of the Costa del Sol, and the Rock of Gibraltar appearing on the horizon.
We opened the packages to reveal the meats, sliced tissue paper-thin and stacked on waxed paper. Deep marbled red, purple, and translucent pink, we peeled the meats from their papers like leaves of a precious papyrus manuscript. Once the cheese and bread were sliced, we couldn't bear to turn that meat into sandwiches. We laid it all out on plates, to sample at will until our fingers and lips were sheened with fat. We were full beyond belief, fat and happy but still nibbling, unable to stop. The flavors of the meats exploded in the mouth, the fat so delicate that it melted without chewing. And when we couldn't eat anymore, we ate the cake.
I had to see for myself, so I took a little field trip the other day. Picnic is a wonderful store–a den of delights, with walls of wine, tables stacked with truffles and condiments, and a cold case of meats and cheeses. I ordered the Charcuterie Plate to go, and enjoyed myself browsing while the meat was cut to order. Picnic isn't a store for when one is in a hurry, but rather for a a place for peaceful anticipatory contemplation as one's order is lovingly assembled.
Salame feline, sopressata, basquese, a chunk of pate. Also included were some mustard, cornichons, pickled onion, and several slices of baguette. A feast. And like all of the finest feasts it was simple, elemental, and best shared with loved ones.

The new year starts with the School of Music and Department of Theatre Arts collaborating to bring Mozart's beloved opera, "The Magic Flute," to stage. The spring musical is "Working," written by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso and based on Studs Terkel's classic portrait of the American worker. The season concludes with Shakespeare's dark comedy of sexual mores and hypocrisy, "Measure for Measure."
Ithaca College Theatre offers great deals and savings through a variety of season subscription packages available for as little as $30.

|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor: Enbrel® (Etanercept) for the Treatment of Acute Non-Infectious Pulmonary Dysfunction (Idiopathic Pneumonia Syndrome) Following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
- Response of IPS (Idiopathic Pneumonia Syndrome) to Etanercept Plus Corticosteroid Therapy by Day 28. [ Time Frame: At day 28 ]Response to therapy is defined as survival to Day 28 of study, PLUS complete discontinuation all supplemental oxygen support by Day 28 of study. Subjects must be able to remain off all supplemental oxygen support for > 72 consecutive hours. Subjects who discontinue supplemental oxygen within the last 72 hours of the observation period will be followed until they have completed 72 consecutive hours off oxygen or failed prior to assessing response.
- Survival Rate [ Time Frame: From the first dose of treatment with etanercept to the date of last follow up or date of death, assessed up to 56 days ]
- Time to Discontinuation of Supplemental Oxygen Support [ Time Frame: Time from study to time on room air, assessed up to 56 days ]The "time required to discontinue supplemental oxygen" will be measured in the number of days from study entry till the patient is on room air and will be estimated using the cumulative incidence estimator due to the competing risk of death.
- Toxicity of Etanercept Plus Corticosteroid Therapy Using the Common Terminology Criteria Version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 56 days ]
- Levels of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines, in Both BAL (Bronchoalveolar Lavage) Fluid and Serum as Assessed by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays [ Time Frame: From baseline to days 7 and 56 ]Measurements will be summarized with means and standard deviations for subgroups of subjects (e.g. responders versus non-responders). Two-group comparisons of cytokines (e.g. responders versus non-responders) will likely be underpowered, and such comparisons will be done only to generate hypotheses for future studies. Comparative plasma cytokine assays will be performed in a similar fashion as that of the BAL fluid.
- C-reactive Protein Levels [ Time Frame: From baseline to days 7, 14, 21, and 28 ]Measurements will be summarized with mean and standard deviations for subgroups of subjects (those who respond versus non-responders). Two group comparisons of CRP (C-reactive protein) levels (responders versus non-responders) will likely be underpowered, and such comparisons will be done to generate hypotheses for future studies.

So, we definitely know we want to go to Italy. It is an absolute must. We want to see Venice and Rome for sure. We're not very picky about other places in Italy though. Milan, Florence, Pisa, Naples, Sicily, Verona, and some other places are all on our "nice to see" list, but aren't really necessities. We're planning on doing a road trip around Italy when my H's parents come to visit. We don't know how long we'll have yet (it depends on how much leave he's able to take, but definitely at least a week), but we're wondering where we should go. What places are "must sees" and how long should we stay in each place? There is already another trip planned just to see Rome while my mother is visiting, since it's the one place she's dying to go. My in-laws, though, just want to see Italy. They aren't as picky about seeing certain sights/cities.
I also have a friend planning a trip over here and she wants to go to Paris. Now, I'd like to go there, but it wouldn't break my heart to not see it. I'm happy just taking a few picture of the Eiffel Tower and seeing the Louvre. I know the Louvre itself could take a lot of time, but there's only a few specific things we each want to see. How much time should we spend in Paris? Anything else we should see while we're there? (BTW, this is just a "girls trip")
Okay, my H and I also want to fly down to Greece. We don't really know where to go and how easy it is to get from place to place. We want to see the history, but the beach would be great, too. We'll only spend a few days there, so should we go to Athens, Crete, Meteora, Delphi, Santorini...somewhere else? We don't want to spend a ton of time traveling from place to place and not really see anything.
Then there are the short trips we can take. We already went down to Neuschwanstein/Hohenschwangau and will probably go again when people are visiting since it's just a day trip. We've heard Munich was great, but Berlin isn't. Is there anything really interesting/unique to see in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Nuremberg, or other German cities?
We also would like to take a long weekend and fly to either Scotland or Ireland. Which would you go to? Where would you go? What would you do while there?
We have plans to visit Prague, probably more than once since it's so close to us. Salzburg, Zurich, Liechtenstein, and Vienna might also be places we'd go for the day/night. They aren't high on our list. Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, and England are countries we've briefly considered, but frankly they don't interest us all that much. There are other places (Italy, Greece, Ireland/Scotland) that we'd rather spend our money seeing.
I think that's enough questions for now.

The only European country I've ever been to was United Kingdom. We went for 10 days when I was in High School... it was awesome. Especially London.
I highly recommend it. I would go back in a heartbeat.
The Christmas markets in Germany and Austria are great the ones in Vienna, Nuremburg, Salzburg, Munich are really good.
Salzburg has a bit of everything: art/history/hiking/beauty/beer/Sound of Music tours. If you are into military history, the Deutsches Museum in Munich has some interesting stuff, and the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum in Vienna is excellent. London also has a great war museum.
Of the places you mentioned:
Italy: Venice and Rome for sure. I hate Rome but love the history see if you can avoid driving there!! Verona and Pisa are supposed to be very pretty and manageable. Florence is beautiful but I wouldnt go anywhere in Italy in the summer except in the north the heat and crowds are too much for me. Milan and Naples are good for history but are huge and frustrating, pretty low on my list except for a few sites. I know a lot of people who rave about Sicily. If you are driving from Germany to Italy, the lakes at the foot of the Alps are beautiful, with lots of smaller towns. Brixen/Bolzano are also nice Bolzano has an interesting medieval castle and the Ice Man museum.
Paris: The main site is the city itself, just walking around. See the St-Chapelle and Notre Dame churches. Get a good guide to shopping and the neighborhoods. There are hundreds of great day trips, too. Spend a week, if you can swing it, because its great to make yourself a temporary local and just appreciate a place. Find out what festivals are going on. Avoid August - things close.
Greece: Unless you are into ancient history, avoid Athens. It is big and dirty and you will probably enjoy the islands more, all of which have lots of history. A Mediterranean cruise would be a great idea I would choose this over a Baltic cruise nice blue water, interesting stops. The cruise ships usually have someone to give a light and entertaining look at the local history of each stop, so you can get kind of a smorgasbord of Mediterranean history.
Scotland/Ireland/England: I like Northern England and Scotland a lot. York is really interesting, so is hiking Hadrians Wall, and Edinburgh. If you have more time, a driving tour in the west of Scotland is well worth it.
Brugges in Belgium is a nice 3-day getaway; also the Bodensee (Lake Constance) and anyplace in rural Switzerland. Barcelona and Lisbon, Portugal are also great 3-day trips if you take advantage of cheap flights. Also consider Croatia.
Not sure where you are in Germany, but you can take a boat up the Danube Enge to Weltenburg Abbey for lunch in the beer garden- makes a nice outing if you are driving in the Altmuhl area anyway. Its not far from Regensburg, which is also a nice town to walk around.
Italy - Rome is exceptional but skip Pisa as apart from the tower, it's industrial. I also liked Turin and Milan.
Switzerland/Austria - loved Saltzburg but disliked the Viennese (rude money grabbers thought the winter palace is something else).
Greek Islands are well, islands. Skiathos and Corfu are two worth visiting for different reasons but Greece is Greece and the same all over. Can't speak for the mainland as my visits there have been short. Crete is close enough to Egypt for a trip.
Now Spain is something else and Portugal is similar to Spain. I love Madrid in addition to the south and holiday there most years (including visits to my dear SI friend). Santander (north coast) and San Sebastian are also beautiful.
France is fab too both north and south and in the middle, depends what you want to see. If you are into history then the north (Normandy) is great with the D-day landing beaches, US war graves, museums etc in addition to Rouen, Baheux, Amiens and further south, Paris. France is huge and endless. I'm heading back in September.
Not done Scandinavia or Russia.
Try to get a trip to Amsterdam. It's one of my favourites and then hop over to UK and Scotland. From here it's a stone's throw to Ireland both north and south. You can come visit me too
I love south Germany and it gets you so close to central Europe. I would love to see Berlin. Munich is also a great city.
I have not been to Turkey though all of my friends love it, nor Poland or Czech Republic though these are on my 'to do soon' list.
You won't make a wrong decision because there isn't one. What you don't see this time, you'll see the next because you will come back.
Oh and if you want travel info on getting around in Europe there is a web site called 'the man in seat 61' worth googling.

Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket!
We also went to Munich....beautiful city. Take the hop on/hop off buses (there are 3 routes I believe, and you get a discount to buy all three). You can take a full day doing the buses, then next days you will know some spots that you'd love to stop at. Also went to Dachau concentration camp. It's a museum. I found it touching and informative....it felt very sacred there to me. Marienplatz (beer garden) was amazing. I don't drink beer much, but my most special meal on this trip was German sausage on a bun and a big cold beer watching the world walk by.
We also went to Geneva...but ended up staying outside of Geneva (in France...I thought I was in Switzerland LOL). We spent one day driving completely around Lake Geneva. Beautiful drive. Stopped for meals.
London I love...but it's not what it used to be. Still, tons and tons of things to do there.
[This message edited by JanetS at 6:43 PM, July 8th (Monday)]
Stockholm - terrific city, lots of history, terrific public transportation so easy to get around. Expensive though.
Greece - I was stationed on Crete about a million years ago. If you're into history, anything in Greece is amazing. I loved Crete, Rhodes, Santorini. And if you're in Greece, you have to go to Athens for the Acropolis, Parthenon, etc. It is loud and dirty and very scary to drive there, but the history!
If you're doing a cruise, I would definitely choose the Mediterranean cruise.
My daughter loved London, Prague, Stockholm and Brussels. So many choices - have fun!
One hidden gem is in the Taunus Mountains outside of Frankfurt. There is a Roman fort there. I believe it was their northernmost fort on the continent. For this California girl, it was way cool to see this several-thousand-year-old place. It's beautiful. Of course, you see many ruins just as old in other places.
My advice? When you see an interesting side road, take it. You never know where you'll end up! Enjoy!
"A good man with good intentions has no reason to lie" - somer222
Budapest is beautiful.
I think I would just pick one or two places and allow yourself to have more time to know a place.
We also visited Jelling, Esbjerg, Kolding, Odense and Copenhagen. The Louisiana MOMA is a great place to spend a day and in Copenhagen, Tivoli Gardens are a fun day especially if you have kids. Oh, and of course Legoland if you're in to big amusement parks.
I never would have gone to Denmark by choice; it was a work thing. I was totally surprised by how much we liked it. We would live in Aarhus in the summers if we could just win a lottery!
skip Pisa as apart from the tower, it's industrial
Also Gent and Brussels in Belgium.
"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." - Aubrie
And for a must see: Venice! Just got back from there and after having seen almost every major city in Europe I would say this is a total must see.
Not sure where you are but as there are so few US bases left here chances are you are very close to me.
I see it this way.... You can tackle Germany, Belgium, France, The Netherlands and Luxembourg in a series of weekends.
You are going to love the Christmas Markets. Also at this time of year (if you are near the wine region) there are numerous wine festivals. Here we make the most of the wonderful summers as winters are loooooong and cooooold!!!!!
Apart from weekend trips.... I would personally focus on Italy, Ireland (cheap flights from Frankfurt Hahn). Prague is close by too. That's a must see too :)
The amazing thing about Europe is that you can jump in your car & off you go.
Not sure if you or your spouse is interested in military history???
If so Verdun is worth a visit for WW1... And Bastogne / Luxembourg for WW2 ( General Patton is buried in Luxembourg).
Please feel free to PM me
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
They mean what they say about luggage restrictions - you have to put your purse inside the carry-on or there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (and a hefty bill) at the gate.
Seriously, read the instructions.
And reserve a seat in the first two rows if you can. It's a cattle car experience otherwise.
And you may want to check out this informative pre-flight video...

In Rome, you must go to the Cul de Sac restaurant near the Pantheon and order the lasagna. BEST. EVER.
In Florence, there was a restaurant that had crates of fresh truffles that had just been picked from the farm sitting in their entryway. We had a simple salad of them that just had some olive oil, salt, maybe lemon and parmesan and it was DIVINE! Also, if you go to Florence and you want a guided tour, PM me for the name of a great guy.
Also, PM me for the website I used to find hotels, etc. Also for what guidebook we used. (don't think I'm allowed to post names on here).
If you're a foodie, go to Bologna. Cool college town too.
I would skip Milan, Naples, Verona.
Consider Cinque Terre, Capri.
Don't go anywhere on vacation in Europe in August, as that is when all the Europeans take their vacation and lots of things are closed.
When in Rome, if you are Catholic (or just have interest in seeing the Pope), you can ask for tickets for an audience with the Pope (the last Pope did these on Wednesdays, but you have to have an invite - not hard to get, you just have to ask for it).
You've got to go to Paris! If only to grab a baguette, some cheese and wine and have a picnic in one of their amazing parks. The food there is outrageously good - eat anywhere and you will get a fabulous meal.
Barcelona in Spain is fabulous (even better if you speak a little Spanish).
I would also highly recommend England, even if you just go to London, you will have a blast.
Like others have said, whatever you do, it will be great - there are no bad choices here!
Have fun!

WOOTTON Bassett captain Darren Beasant is hoping his side will be bolstered next month by the arrival of two mystery ex-pats returning to the region from Australia.
Bassett, who are preparing for an assault on the Wiltshire League title in 2014, opted against bringing in an overseas or domestic professional over the winter but received a 12th-hour boost with the news that the two players, one of whom has played grade cricket Down Under, will be linking up with the club in mid-May.
Beasant remained coy about the identities of the pair but he was enthused by the prospect of the duo arriving at Rylands Way.
"They're two lads that were born in Swindon and emigrated over to Australia 15 or 16 years ago. Mum and dad have sold up and are moving back to the area. One of their relatives is a friend of the family and asked if I was still playing cricket as they were interested in finding a club, so we bit their hands off," he told the Advertiser.
"They're not pros as such, they're just two guys from the area who are moving back from Oz and one of them happens to have played grade cricket. We did spend some time looking for overseas professionals and local professionals but, given the standard of cricket we're playing and our budget, it's tough.
"There are a lot of clubs spending a lot of money and, given we're playing in the Wiltshire League, what can we offer them? It's purely coincidence that we found these two guys needed a club so hopefully they enjoy the cricket they play at Wootton Bassett."
Former coach Shaz Khan has left Bassett to return to Shrivenham after a difficult season in 2013, while AK Sharma is back with Beasant's men following a year with Burbage & Easton Royal.
"Playing wise Shaz has gone, Jack Dymoke will be away at university for the first part of the season but other than that we've managed to keep hold of everyone from last year, Mr (Sam) Lawro included," said Beasant.
"AK Sharma is back from Burbage. He's a Bassett lad through and through, went off to Burbage to play from cricket last year and decided to come back to Wootton Bassett. He'll be a real asset with bat and ball.
"He'll give us a real bit of an edge with the new ball, which maybe we lacked at times last year, and he's a more than useful left-handed, middle order batter.
"Hopefully, fingers crossed, he'll be joined by a couple of Australians in the second week of May but we're waiting for that to be out and out confirmed.
"I'd like to think we've got a pretty decent squad of players and, if we do ourselves justice, which we didn't last year, we should be in the mix and aiming for promotion."
l Lechlade's Joe Breet and Goatacre's Ed Kilbee have been called up by Wiltshire for their Unicorns Knockout Trophy match against Devon on Sunday.
The full Wiltshire squad for the match at Instow is: Michael Coles (Corsham) (Captain), Tahir Afridi (Henley), Joe Breet (Lechlade), Neil Clark (Potterne), Tom Foley (Corsham), James Hayward (South Wilts), Ed Kilbee (Goatacre), Henry Langford (Brockhampton), Adam Miles (Cardiff) (Wicket Keeper), Ashur Morrison (Corsham), Tom Morton (South Wilts), Jake Roberts (Potterne)

New "Computed for display" field property "Calculate in backend recalculations"
Bas van Gestel2808 - 21 2010 (1)

The senior police officer in charge of the evacuation of Dawlish residents during the unprecedented storm last week has praised the emergency services and other agencies for their speedy response.
At around 10.40pm on Tuesday 4 February 2014 a major incident was declared after huge waves damaged sections of railway track and the sea wall in the town.
Shortly afterwards, residents living in Sea Lawn Terrace, Riviera Terrace and Exeter Road were evacuated due to the threat to life.
Police officers and staff from Teignbridge District Council assisted with the evacuation, along with a number of other agencies including the fire and ambulance services, the Marine and Coastguard Agency, Devon County Council and the Highways Agency.
The co-ordinated response was also assisted by Network Rail, the Environment Agency and the Met Office.
Residents were taken to a rest centre at Dawlish Leisure Centre, or found alternative accommodation elsewhere.
Chief Superintendent Paul Davies, who was in charge of co-ordinating the multi-agency response to the adverse weather experienced across the county, said: "I was most impressed by the response of all agencies and local residents in Dawlish. It was a real team effort and all agencies worked extremely well together to ensure an effective response.
"The co-operation of the residents was excellent on the night and, without doubt, saved anyone from being injured. Clearly many of them will be impacted by this incident for a long time."

Wisconsin: Beginning farmers encouraged to return survey
The Wisconsin Beginning Farmer Survey is in the mail, and Wisconsin ag department officials encourage producers to fill it out and return it. The confidential information collected from these surveys will be used to develop programs to serve beginning farmers.
The survey was mailed to those who indicated they were a beginning farmer on their 2012 Census of Agriculture. The four-page survey includes questions about how you began farming, details on the current farm and future goals. There are also questions about what resources are currently the most useful.
The survey is due Feb. 20. For more information about the survey, contact DATCP's Mike Bandli at 608-224-5136 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
WMMB nominations sought

Minnesota Dairy Day at the Capitol – March 5
Have you been negatively impacted by Minnesota's sales tax on ag equipment repair? Are you concerned about the competitive disadvantage your dairy faces compared to dairies in surrounding states? Do you have a story to tell lawmakers that will better the dairy business climate in Minnesota?

February 21 is nearly upon us.
Will anything happen?
I just posted this link in the other thread, but now that Marbury is out for the year, my guess is that any potential Knick talks are now over (not that I thought they had or would have happened anyway).
But since it's getting a little difficult to keep track of all the potential moves we might make (Foster to Utah, JO to NY, JO for Vince, whatever else) I figured I'd start this as a place we can dump relevant links to developing articles that could affect whether or not we make a move by February 21.
Here are the rumors and big questions so far the pop to mind...
- Some reporter heard about JO for Vince deal. I doubt that happens.
- Jimmy says he expects JO to stay. I think he's right.
- Utah maybe wants Foster. But will they give us something we want?
- Regardless, I think Foster will get moved to a Western contender. But I'm dumb.
- We need some scorers. Where do we find them?
- We need more young talent. Can we get some picks?
- Point guards are necessary. Where do we find one?
- What happens if we do nothing?
All these questions and Andy Rooney, tonight in the Trade Deadline Thread.

based upon last years' stats?
Obviously you will just have to make a guess for rookies, but I went through my lineup looking at minutes played and FPPG last year, and allocating 48 min for Cs, 96 min for forwards, and 96 min for Gs.
This will give you an average game, but under the scenario where everyone was healthy for the same game, which is unrealistic.
Anyway, my team scores 243 in 240 minutes.
I need a good team doctor, however...

Washington expects Beltre to be an All-Star
NEW YORK -- When the All-Star teams are announced on Sunday at 6 p.m. CT, manager Ron Washington expects to hear third baseman Adrian Beltre's name included on the American League squad.
"If they don't take Beltre, it is a farce," Washington said. "How can you not take Beltre under the conditions that he has had to perform, and doing what he has done? Yeah, his home runs are down, but to be where he is and having to fight through a ton of adversity team-wise ... Beltre for sure."
Beltre went into Saturday's game against the Mets hitting .336, second highest in the AL. He was sixth in on-base percentage (.383) and ninth in slugging percentage (.515). He was also third with a .355 batting average with runners in scoring position.
Beltre, a three-time All-Star, acknowledged that being selected again would be an honor, but that he also wouldn't mind some time off to be with his family.

- How to Read a Study Record
Primary: To determine the efficacy of early treatment with zidovudine (AZT) in HIV-infected asymptomatic infants. To determine the safety and tolerance of AZT in this patient population.
Secondary: To compare the virologic and immunologic parameters between the treatment groups. To determine the efficacy of AZT as an early treatment to prevent development of CD4+ cell depletion in HIV-infected asymptomatic infants.
AZT is currently indicated for primary treatment in children with HIV-associated signs and symptoms and for those with significant immunodeficiency. This study will attempt to determine whether early treatment with AZT prevents the development of symptoms in HIV-infected infants who are asymptomatic.

|Official Title:
|A Phase III Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerance, and Efficacy of Early Treatment With Zidovudine (AZT) in Asymptomatic Infants With HIV Infection
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Completion Date:
|September 1996
AZT is currently indicated for primary treatment in children with HIV-associated signs and symptoms and for those with significant immunodeficiency. This study will attempt to determine whether early treatment with AZT prevents the development of symptoms in HIV-infected infants who are asymptomatic.
Patients are randomized to receive oral AZT (at age-adjusted doses) or placebo. Patients are evaluated at weeks 2 and 4 and every 4 weeks thereafter; those who reach a study endpoint will have their treatment unblinded to allow the clinician to determine which treatment regimen the patient should then receive. Patients who meet the criteria for changes to open-label AZT will be given the appropriate age-adjusted dose without unblinding the original randomization assignment. Patients who complete or discontinue treatment are followed every 6 months for up to 2 years.

So during the first round of the ABC Charity Open at Little Lehigh Parkway...Allentown PA....a guy threw a drive on hole 18.....skipped off the stone path and landed his disc INSIDE a baby stroller carrying a 2 month old......
Good News: Baby was untouched and the parent was apologetic/understanding.
Bad News: Player took a circle 4 because of landing OB.
I referred to the Rulebook 803.07. Though the player disputed initially...he was understanding once i whipped out the rule book and a call to the PDGA office for quick support. Another official on site was unable for a ruling at the moment. And being hole 18 is near tourney central....he was looking for an instant answer..
FWIW....it was the first time this ever came up...and found it interesting that if the stroller was being pushed in bounds....the player would have gotten to play from where it landed in the stroller...in bounds.

Add permissions to restrict access to individual reports
This plugin can be used to restrict users to see only specific reports. The plugin lets you choose permissions for each report. The users have to have at least one of the permissions to be able to see it on the 'Available Reports' -page and to access it directly.
An alternate implementation using t:TracFineGrainedPermissions is discussed in #11049 may eventually obsolete this plugin. The necessary changes to replicate the essential functionality of this plugin are to fix an open issue in Trac (t:#11176) so that t:TracFineGrainedPermissions are respected when preparing the list of reports on the Report List page (
/report), and to provide an WebAdmin interface to editing the authz file (see #9947 for the AccountManagerPlugin).
In version 0.2 I made the plugin conform to the Trac standard of allowing only all uppercase for permissions. This requires a complete new table structure which means you have to enter the permission for each report again.

The Windows-using world (or at least the XP-using part), got thrown into turmoil on April 8 of this year. As of that date, Microsoft ended support of its XP operating system. This meant a headache for most users, but for healthcare entities in particular, it meant that huge amounts of PHI (protected health information) was now likely unprotected.
Potential Reactions
For users who were still on XP, this means they've had to make choices. Some have decided to simply upgrade to operating systems that are still serviced by Microsoft. For those who've decide to remain with XP, they're faced with some unpleasant realities in the face of an environment where PHI is becoming more and more attractive to cyber-criminals.
HIPAA Compliance?
One of the primary reasons HIPAA was enacted, was to protect the safety of patient information. The security rule though, does not provide minimum requirements for operating systems. That said, HHS is relatively clear on the matter.
"…as part of the information system, the security capabilities of the operating system may be used to comply with technical safeguards standards and implementation specifications such as audit controls, unique user identification, integrity, person or entity authentication, or transmission security. Additionally, any known security vulnerabilities of an operating system should be considered in the covered entity's risk analysis (e.g., does an operating system include known vulnerabilities for which a security patch is unavailable, e.g., because the operating system is no longer supported by its manufacturer)."
If there is a data breach, an entity's preparedness (which includes monitoring of OS weaknesses), will likely be taken into consideration.
Some voices have taken an even more hard-lined stance on the issue. Mac McMillan, CEO & Co-Founder of CynergisTek has been quoted as saying that OCR definitely considers non-upgraded systems as non-compliant. "Windows XP is definitely an issue. In fact, OCR has been very clear that unsupported systems are NOT compliant. They cited this routinely during the audits last year whenever identified. Unsupported systems by definition are insecure and pose a risk not only to the data they hold, but the network they reside on as well."
Consultants are recommending that even if your healthcare clients' computer doesn't actually touch the Internet, that it eventually be upgraded from XP (to Window's 7 or better, and Server 2008 R2 or better on the server side, according to Derek Wlodarz). A computer's level of access to networks and the Internet will not be an excuse in the case of a breach. This upgrade may be a problem for many entities though, because many smaller healthcare applications still run on XP only.
All of the complexity around XP's end of life, is being touted by some as yet another reason for your clients to consider a move directly to cloud computing, which will eliminate the question of upgrades and obsolescence.
Microsoft provides information in their End of Support center that could help you present the facts to your healthcare clients … and brace yourselves, Microsoft is ending support of Vista in 2017.
