This was a trip to the Highlands, D&G, and Glasgow. I planned the route and made all reservations ahead of time. It worked out fairly well, but it was a lot of driving, much of it on single track roads. We could have used more time in every single location we stayed at. We did make sure to stop and take pictures or get out of the car and admire the view whenever we wanted, sometimes every few feet, as we were determined not to see Scotland through the car windows. Our next trip to Scotland will be more concentrated in one area.
We, myself and my travelling partner, driver, and DH, Jon, flew directly from Toronto to Glasgow, and we were on our way just after 1:00 pm.
We took the Clyde Tunnel towards Loch Lomond along the West side of the Loch. When it wasn't raining, the views of the hills to the east were great. The hills became bigger, and the road windier the further north we went
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Jon to reacquaint himself with driving on the left. He never once forgot what lane he was in (yeah), and we were only beeped at twice during the entire trip for slow driving, so all in all, a successful driving experience!
At the top of Loch Lomond, we headed East, climbing the Cairngorms. We made a quick visit to the very scenic Falls of Dochart. Jon did his best to avoid the hordes of bus trippers wandering all over the bridge in the rain. It was a great test of his driving skills right out of the gate. He did all the driving and I was the navigator using our trusty paper map. It worked out well, except for the few days I was carsick due to the up and down and twisty roads, then he did double duty.
We made no other stops on our way to Aberfeldy, about 100 miles. Our B&B was great, and we had a very nice dinner at Three Lemons, and an early night.
It was, in retrospect, too much driving on the day we arrived. Jon is used to driving on arrival day, but this was a bit ambitious, even for him. We planned this as a driving trip, and the first night was just a waypoint, but once we got underway, there were things it would have been nice to see and do on the way to Aberfeldy, and to explore the town, if we had the time. Actually that became my refrain throughout the trip: "I wish we had more time to……"

Aberfeldy to Tain
After a great sleep, Jon tucked into his first of many (as in, every morning) Scottish breakfasts of the trip, and we were out of Balnearn B&B in reasonable time.
We stopped at Iain Burnett's Chocolatier in Grandtully to inhale (in more ways than one…) his wonderful creations. If you like exceptional chocolate, then this is the place for you! Blood pudding and chocolate are not a natural combination, so depending on one's point of view, early morning is a good time to visit. It made for a more restrained shopping experience, although I did go back twice from the car to pick up more goodies. After one purchase you get a discount card, so I actually saved money by not buying everything at once. At least that was my argument. All, almost all, mind you, for gifts.
Then we headed on to the A9 to hit the House of Bruar. My 2DD's loved the heather honey they ate all through our trip last year. I picked up 454 gram jars for them and us, plus marmalade for others on my list, one with scotch in it for Jon, and all my gift shopping was completed, save for a couple of small bottles of Scotch. I hate having "what am I going to buy" hanging over my head. We purchased a small glass piece (Caithness Glass – really striking and reasonably priced) to add to our own collection, and after tearing the driver away from the fly fishing department, we were on our way, but not before I had a good look at the women's clothes. I really like the tweedy, loafer, DuBarry boot, quilted vest, waxed brimmed hat look, but it would look completely ridiculous in Toronto, so I saved a bunch of money by settling for a box of Highland Single Malt fudge.
We made a quick stop in Aviemore, an athletic looking town but utterly lacking in charm in the Cairngorms, where we shopped a few of the outdoor stores and had a wonderful lunch of white onion soup at the Old Bridge Inn. Despite the town being quite generic, the Old Bridge Inn was cozy and welcoming, full with regulars, cyclists and friendly dogs.
This was a long driving day, 155 miles, mostly highway, through the Killiecrankie Pass and over the Cairngorms, bypassing Inverness and crossing the Beauly Firth on the Kessock Bridge to the Black Isle, which actually isn't an isle, but a peninsula. On the Black Isle, the plan was to stop at Fairy Glen at Rosemarkie, and do a short 2 mile walk featuring two waterfalls. However, we got to the parking area in time to see a weary looking man trudging out of the forest in full waterproofs, with a particularly bedraggled looking woman trailing along after him. It was still raining a bit, smirr actually, and we didn't much see the point of getting out of the car and into the mud. Good thing too, as we drove along, the water was pooled in the fields. We had not brought our wellies, as it hadn't occurred to us that slogging through a bog would be an activity that we would seek out, or would find an attractive alternative to pretty much anything. Little did we know what the future held…
Running out of time, there's a theme worryingly developing here, we did not get all the way to Cromarty, too bad, there's a bakery there was rated in Scotland the Best by Peter Irvine (my new favourite book). Add Cromarty to the list for next time.
We cut across the peninsula and followed Cromarty Firth via the A9 to Tain, Scotland's oldest burgh, where the sun was mercifully starting to shine. About 5:00 we pulled into our home for the next two nights, Golfview House B&B. It was another winner. Our room had big windows and a window seat that looked out at green fields with horses, a ruined church and the Dornoch Firth beyond. It was as pretty and bucolic a site as you can imagine.
So we started the day at 10:00 departing Aberfeldy; arrived at our destination in Tain at about 5:00 thus covering 155 miles in about seven hours. All and all a pretty comfortable day.
Tomorrow brings a very unsettling experience....

This morning we learned a meteorological phrase new to us – "patchy rain". By the time we had the windshield wipers going the rain stopped, by the time we turned them off the drizzle started, repeat every two or three minutes. Same with the sunglasses, on/off, repeat. We were quickly learning not to be too dismayed to see a sky with no blue anywhere, nor to worry about the drizzle, as the sky would miraculously clear in seconds and reward us with blue everywhere. Only to start the cycle all over again. No pouring rain today, just patchy rain in the morning, clear, blue, glorious skies in the afternoon.
This was the day we were going to the one place I refused to miss in all of Scotland – Croick Church. In fact our entire route was planned around this. I didn't care what else we missed, we were going there, come hell or high water.
It was a lovely drive along the A836 skirting the Firth of Dornoch, through Ardguy, then following the beautiful Carron River. We stopped at one point to enjoy the peace and the rushing river, and a fisherman happened along. He and five mates paid 6000GBP / week for a beat of river to fish for salmon. Only one side of the river, and accommodation not included.
I learned a little about the Highland Clearances before we went to Scotland last May. We learned more at the Culloden battlefield and superb Visitor's Centre. A volunteer there told us about her recent family history, and how Scottish history was not taught to students until quite recently.
It was important to us that we go and see for ourselves where >>on 24th May, 1845 when 18 families – some 90 people – were cleared from their homes in Glencalvie in which they had lived for generations. Prior to their departure many took shelter in impoverished booths erected in the Croick churchyard and their wretched plight is recorded in messages scratched on the outside of the east window of the church.<<
We are the only ones at the church, and it begins to lightly drizzle. It's impossible to adequately convey how lonely and sad and heartbreaking the churchyard is. We're quiet as we read the inscriptions scratched into the windows.
It's one thing to read facts, and to know something intellectually, but quite another to feel it. We were both more than a little unsettled by the experience of being there, and by the feelings we weren't expecting. It's such a brutal history, and to see a place where such brutality took place, one can't help but really be touched by the misery.
Sigh, on we go, back to Dornoch, where Jon wanted to go to the golf course. I encouraged him to book an early round, but there was so much else to do in such a short amount of time, that he graciously was satisfied to buy a hat and wander around a bit. Nice hat, though!
Quick bite in Dornoch, quick walk around, and off again. A wrong turn out of Dornoch turns into a lucky break. We ended up driving Loch Fleet (between Dornoch and Golspie) with it's wonderful wide tidal basin surrounded by sand dunes. The tide was out, the sky was blue, and the mudflats were alive with birds. The ruins of Skelbo Castle were on hill overlooking the Loch. A perfect spot to remind ourselves (actually me) that wrong turns are not really wrong, just an opportunity for happy surprises.
Then the decision was to do we visit Dunrobin Castle and gardens, or do we drive up to Helmsdale, a village built for communities cleared by the Countess of Sutherland, by the Countess, generous soul that she was. We opted for Helmsdale because of Timespan, a heritage centre that is combination museum, gallery space, book and craft shop and research centre. We were hoping to expand and deepen our understanding and knowledge of the historical times and the Clearances. Particularly since the Clearances are the reason this town exists. It was a disappointment. The museum, although interesting enough, was quite small, with nothing we hadn't seen before. Reconstructions of a blacksmith, store, cottage, and tools. There was an area for anyone looking for family history, an art installation, a small book and craft area, and that's about it. I don't know what I was expecting, but maybe historic pictures and story boards at the least. The drive up and back along the sea was the best part.
We had time to scoot into the parking lot at Dunrobin and see the gardens from above, as well as walk through the gift shop and out the front door. Quite the pile in a stunning location. Add to the list of "next time".
One more stop at Tain pottery to purchase two tartan (not plaid!!!) mugs, handmade and painted on the premises, dinner at a place in town that I swear rented rooms by the hour, and the end of another good, but busy and very satisfying day.
As it transpired, our visit to Croick Church was the absolute highlight of our trip. BC and AC, before Croick and after Croick. Everything else we saw or did, this we felt. That's what I love about travel, wishing and being open to that moment, and recognizing it when it happens.

I'm going to butt in on this splendid trip report to talk for a minute around Croick, the Clearances, and the aftermath, and how (some) local people look back on these events. Forgive me if this is not strictly travel-related, but the Highlands wear their social history as prominently as their mountains and lochs. Inescapable.
Years ago I did a student project dealing with the environment and economy of the Dornoch Firth area. In the course of this work (which spanned most of a year) I spoke to a number of local people, from crofters (of which there are very few remaining) up to local lairds and estate owners and factors (managers.)
The Clearances would inevitably come up, and the emotions and views the locals held on the subject was revealing. One landowner (a retired English military officer whose rank at retirement bespoke an mediocre career) sat in my and a colleague's company, and that of a neighboring estate's factor (a local) and with a straight face told me that the Clearances had left the local gene pool too shallow to expect any social advancement. It was the old "those with get up and go got up and went" argument, never mind they went with armed guards as they were relocated to Brora or Golspie or Glasgow or Belfast or North America.
Many people don't know that much of the Highland landscapes that they find so romantic and barren/beautiful is largely man-made, or more specifically, sheep-made. The Clearances were undertaken at a time (the Industrial Revolution) when there was a huge demand for wool for the mills. The Highlands had been a cattle-based economy, but the demand was for wool. Sheep require far, far less management than cattle; a given acreage can support many more sheep, and the number of people needed to manage sheep farms is far fewer than with cattle. Following the 1745 rising the former clan lands were divided up and repackaged as vast estates (e.g. Balmoral) the majority of which were given over to sheep rearing. The native population was surplus to the labo(u)r needs of the owners, so they were cleared.
The thing is, sheep eat everything, down to the roots, something cattle can't manage because of the shapes of their mouths. Sheep eat everything that grows, including young tree shoots, and since they're free-ranging, over time the land shows it - no trees, few low shrubs aside from heather and whin/gorse/broom... presto, bare hills.
So after the Clearances, the introduction of sheep reduced the population dramatically. This was followed by many of the estates diversifying into fishing and hunting grounds, evidence the fishermen the OP encountered. Again, this requires very few workers, and the big money flows into the estate owners' pockets to this day.
With all the attention paid to Outlander and the events of the 1745 rising and aftermath, I hope a bright light will be shone on the Clearances and the impact they've had on both the physical and social environment one sees in today's Scotland, even 250 years later.
Sorry for the intrusion but I just had to.

Butting in is most welcome!
I freely admit to being one of those who finds the barrenness beautiful. Jon, who is a science geographer by trade and avocation, was constantly reminding me that what we were looking at is not a natural landscape. "Look at the sheep all over the place, they're eating everything including the roots and shoots"
I've been trying unsuccessfully to find out how the highlands looked before the sheep. Are the moors that we slogged through natural, is the heather all over the mountains naturally occurring or hugely expanded due to sheep? In the further north, what would the landscape look like? Lewis and Harris, was it always peat bog?
I heard the end of an interview with an English scientist talking about the moors in England, how everyone loves them, but what an unnatural environment they are. Are there any natural environments left anywhere?
I have a picture of that Strathcarron estate as well. My fisherman friend told me he knew an owner of that property, who needed money and sold off the fishing rights. He said the value is in the fishing, and the owner now cannot fish in the river outside his estate without paying.
I really found it troubling to chat with my plummy friend just before arriving at the melancholy church, especially since his wife is related to the current Duke by marriage. I just couldn't help thinking this is from the sublime to the ridiculous.
janis, it's impossible to know even a bit about the Clearances and the Sutherland's part in it, and see not Dunrobin in a different light. A couple of people we spoke to had their own views on the Duke's statue, sitting high up on a hill. Not positive.
Even though Timespan didn't live up to our expectations, it didn't seem right to leave Strathcarron and waltz over to the Sutherland's.
It's such a fascinating history and geography.

The clearances have been viewed as a dim period of our history and those of a liberal persuasion tend to view them as some form of local ethnic cleansing.
In my view, they had to happen.
They were a function of political and economic instability which probably stemmed from the English civil war and the resulting end of the rule of Cromwell and culminated in the Battle of Culloden.
We had always looked at England with growing envy and as their wealth grew exponentially with the development of the colonies in America. We were still trying to farm cattle on land which was absolutely unsuitable for that purpose.
After the turn of the c18th, we invested around 40% of our GDP in a scheme which was before it's time. We effectively tried to colonise Panama and start to build the canal.
It failed.
This left Scotland with no option but to enter into the Treaty of the Union with England and move which alienated many of the highland clans. With crippled economy and having lost the Battle of Culloden, the Highland clan's power base had been wiped out. There were still large population living under the clan system, their existence was diabolical, they faced economic hardship at every turn with the loss of the seaweed market and the potato famine. Things had to change.
The demand was for wool and farming had to be on an extensive scale.
The Clearences transferred populations to cities to feed the labour market of the industrial revolution and transported many families to America, Canada and Australia. Many of these families suffered hardship in the New World but many applied the Scottish approach to hard work and endeavour and succeeded.
In simple terms the economic situation in Scotland prior to 1750 couldn't continue, something had to change.
It's also worth noting that post the Battle of Culloden, huge numbers of the Highlanders were enrolled into the British army and formed a large base of the Georgian war machine which built the British Empire.
It's interesting to hear your experience with current Highlanders and how they view this period of our history. I know many in Glasgow whose families were forced to leave the Highlands, many still still hold their clan surname. Many have been hugely successful over the past 50 years and have enjoyed the sort of social mobility that their Grandfathers could not have experienced in their dreams.
By stark contrast, many of the old land owning families of both the Lowland and Highlands have been decimated, many have sold off their holdings or faced bankruptcy. As a deep irony, it is the new money of Glasgow and Edinburgh which is now buying those Estates as weekend playgrounds.

Lewis and Harris, was it always peat bog?
The deforestation of Scotland was basically a two-part process, taking place over several centuries. In Roman times, the Caledonian Forest - mainly conifers and some hardwoods, particularly along the west coast, covered much of the land, not terribly dissimilar to southern Norway or, in fact, parts of the northern Pacific coast - Washington and BC. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caledonian_Forest
The first wave of deforestation involved burning wood for fires and some construction, but the big hit was due to shipbuilding. The Great Michael, the biggest Scottish warship at the time of the Union, allegedly stripped all of Fife for timbers for construction. Oak, which was used extensively for shipbuilding, virtually disappeared from Scotland (and much of England, for that matter) for building ships, mainly warships. Other wood sources were used for metal smelting as well as for construction. http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_P/0_paintings_manclark_the_great_michael_returns_to_newhaven.jpg
Then came the sheep, which pretty well zapped the rest of the trees.
You can see some "native" forest bits here and there, mainly for stands of Scots Pine (a beautiful tree) in various parts of the country. It's hard to imagine the whole of Scotland forested. Here's a guide if interested: https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/news/our-pick-scotlands-native-forests/0012621/
As for peat bogs, while these occur naturally in areas of heavy rainfall and saturated ground, most of them are simply compressed layers of heather and ground cover that gets compacted and soggy because of impermeable rock beneath. Eventually it turns into brown coal. Places like Shetland and the Hebrides have both "natural" bogs and moors as well as those brought on by deforestation and sheep.
Probably TMI, but I find it fascinating.

It's an interesting point.
The National Trust have recently been bequeathed large tracts land in our area mainly from both then McClellan and McCloud families. Some of that land was originally gifted to those families by Robert Bruce.
Over the past 200 years the land has been extensively sheep farmed and as such has afforded us all in the village wonderful sea views.
The NTS in their wisdom have thrown out the sheep farmers, as a modern day clearance and have started a large scale project to replace the farmed fields with spruce and larch which they claim would have been the ancient landscape.
The end result being are sea views are starting to disappear and the NTS have lost a lot of members in our area.

Blu-ray DVD format gets another backer
Paramount Home Entertainment is the latest company to back the Blu-ray Disc format as the next-generation DVD standard.
Paramount said yesterday it will join a growing list of media and technology companies endorsing Blu-ray that includes Sony, Apple Computer, Hewlett-Packard and Dell.
Paramount, whose hits include "Titanic" and "The Godfather," will still market all its DVD movies in the competing HD DVD format so consumers can have a choice, company officials said.
Backers of HD DVD include Intel, Microsoft, Toshiba and Universal Studios and others.
Paramount decided to support the Blu-ray format after an analysis of the cost and copy protection solutions available, according to a prepared statement.
Paramount also said it was attracted by Blu-ray's storage capacity, which is five times that of current DVDs.
Analysts say consumers are likely to stick with standard DVDs until there is a resolution.

I had recently installed CA Internet Security Suite to see how it went, mainly because I was given a free 12 month copy. I guessed the problem may have been related to the firewall but could not see how to easily configure it allow the shared printer.
I uninstalled the CA and reinstalled MSE and the spooled docs all printed out.
To be fair to CA I did not try their support as I was in a big hurry.
BTW, I have used MSE on three PC's and have had no Malware issues, I run Spybot and Malwarebytes monthly to confirm this.

text: Package: dolphin Version: 1.4 (KDE development platform 4.4.4) Severity: Normal Hi, in konqueror (KDE 3.5 on lenny) I was used to see hilighted a folder in a list, when I exited the same folder moving up in the folder tree. This was a very useful help in browsing the fyle system. Now I'm using dolphin on squeeze (2.6.35), but this feature is lacking (when you goes up in the tree, you must remember from which folder you come. This makes harder to explore the file system). I'm not sure this is a real bug, but it is a very annoying lack. Thank You.

I make them at least taste whatever is on their plate. Don't like it, then don't eat it and you are free to find something else to eat(or when younger, I'd make it if they couldn't). I would never intentionally put something on their plates that they don't like at all and would never tolerate even a tiny bit of. I will however give them new things to try from time to time and everyone has to taste. Even me, I'm no exception to the rule. There are times I make things I'm not super fond of, but because the kids have to at least taste, so do I. Actually we had an issue with guacamole not too long ago. None of the kids liked it, they all said they hated it and it was nasty. I made it again a few days ago for a snack and before I could even finish working and get it out, the kids had devoured it all and I had to make more. So much for being nasty.
If someone is having a moment and doesn't want anything on their plate, it usually means they are either A-sick(or getting sick) or B-tired. In those cases(rare) we find something else(usually something small)l to eat and then we go lay down somewhere. Dd1 was still getting over a nasty cold all last week and that is how a few nights went for her. She had a lot of soup last week, and a lot of naps.

I thought Aaron Eckhart done an excellent job.

This game kicks butt.
That's music?
From the place I got them, it has something to do with them being leaked, beyond that I don't know.
Started figures.
Here's a leaked concept of two-face. WB took it down from a few sites by request so it's legit, although the design may differ in the movie.
Put it in a link in case you don't want spoiled
It was good.
I liked the action scenes in the first hulk movie.
I'm confused, I thought this was a re-boot?
Will it be a sequel or a new "origin"?
Using a superhero action figure as a manikin to try set the rest of the body in but something doesn't seem right with the way the head...
The RT counter isn't very high.
This is leaked twoface figure of Aaron Eckhart.
It seems instead of having a split suit, one side will be burnt.
not really worth posting i guess it was more self indulgent fun for a batman fan art thread on another board
Used this picture of Heath Ledger as rough reference
Westlife - more of a group I think?
Still, hearing they have been in some sort of tragic plane crash would bring great pleasure.

1 tablespoon spoon golden flax seeds
3 tablespoons spoon water
Vita Mix mixer
You've seen the flax/water mixture before no doubt. But, what I have found is placing them in the Vita Mix and running it on high makes it extra gooey like an egg. I have found this greatly improves the binding quality.
The reason I mention the Vita Mix is because of its very powerful motor. You may try it on a regular blender but I don't' think you'll get the same consistency. You may have to add extra water as this method really emulsifies the oil in the flax seeds.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by perfectlawncare, May 25, 2006.
New 66inch Hustler Super Z with 27hp and the XR7 deck. I think this mower does great at striping.
Ah, I call that the snake. Looks good. Your the one that did the field test in turf right?
yeah thats me in the pic in the may issue of Turf. I like the snake. lol
Ahem ....I'm the one who did the Field Test in the the May issue of Turf! Look at the byline and you'll see my name. My May issue shows a skidsteer on the cover and the pics in the field test are the ones that I took. Unless you're looking at a different regional issue???
Nice looking cut, the stripes make me a little dizzy. How are you liking the super Z? I noticed on the Hustler site there are some with problems with leaving a row of stringers with the new xr-7 deck, have you had any problems. How's the ride and do you have the front suspension caster wheels? Thanks.
Nice crisp cut.
Nice stripes.
And also nice sloping... some pics on the net that remind me of being here at home.
Ahhhhh......but the real question now is which one of you REALLY wrote the article and whose picture is it really??
Probably a 'regional' thing.
One is probably in the "south".... Ed I would say, because you can't go much further south... lol.
Yeah, the the other dude that said it was him is only in Virginia, that's the south too
Plus, TURF normally only uses one tester per item, at least that has been my experince.
So tell me did hustler get the missed strip of grass figured out and fixed on that new deck?


text: So in my other post you'll see I'm an iPhone 4 owner. I love that phone, I have no issues with it, so let's keep that phone out of this discussion. I like to mess around with stuff though so I have been considering a nice Android phone other than my poky Droid Eris work phone. I really didn't like the Samsung Captivate very much and don't trust Samsung when it comes to quality control or updates, I just want a stock Android phone. It seems the N1 is the best choice for a respectable piece of hardware running stock Android that is well supported. I was looking at the AT&T version but just had an offer for a new T-Mobile (well, RMA'd from Google so possibly refurb, but new housing) version. I was thinking of just signing up for a no contract 40 dollar per month data plan and then just use Google Voice for calls and texts. My primary phone would be my iPhone, but I just wonder if I am making a bad decision wanting a N1 so bad at this point. For some reason I just trust the N1 over the other Android phones out there and don't want to invest in a big plan like I would have to with Verizon and Sprint so the Evo and Droid X aren't an option. I think I'm rambling out loud so hopefully this makes sense.

New project from one of the more underappreciated emcees out of RVA, Worldwide Paper Gang's own Easalio comes through with Mood, an 8-song EP produced entirely by Minigold. The one emcee and one producer setup allows for a cohesive sound as 'gold's mellow (yet still hard-hitting) beats allows Easalio's flow to be displayed perfectly from track to track and you can hear the chemistry between the two which puts hope that these two will continue to bring us records in the near future. Clocking in around 20 minutes and lone guest appearance from fellow WPG member Maffew Ragazino ("Vibes), Eas has put himself in a good position for best projects of early 2017 talk. #WeSeeIt

Imagine No Religion
by Rabbi Aron Moss
I don't want my children to be small-minded and look down at others, so I haven't given them a Jewish education. They have been brought up without any religion; they are free to choose whatever beliefs they like. I try to live by the words of John Lennon:
Imagine there's no countries / It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for / No religion too,
Imagine all the people / living life in peace...
Doesn't that sum it all up?
I admire your passion and idealism. You have obviously given some thought to your children's moral future, which is a credit to you. But I don't see how the philosophy you have espoused is any less closed-minded than fundamentalist religion.
You don't want to force your ideals on your children. But by denying them their spiritual heritage, you are doing just that. They are missing the chance to explore their Jewish identities during their formative years. They didn't choose that, you did. You have decided their religion for them. They are Lennonists whether they like it or not.
And if that song is your bible, then they are being brought up in a much more closed-minded religion than Judaism.
You have only quoted one verse. But I think the last verse of the song is the most revealing:
You may say I'm a dreamer / But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us / And the world will live as one.
So, according to Lennonism there is "you" and there is "us". You are the unenlightened ones. We have found the truth. But hopefully one day you will see the light and become one of us too. Only then can the world finally live as one. Is that open-minded?
Contrast this with Judaism's view that not everyone has to be Jewish. A non-Jew can live a perfectly fulfilling and meaningful life while remaining a non-Jew. They don't have to join us to be considered a good person. If anything can make us truly live as one, it is the recognition that we are all created by the same G-d, but we don't all have to serve Him in the same way.
We each choose a value system to live by and to teach our children. Whether you call it religion or something else makes little difference, it is a particular way of looking at the world. And much of what is presented today as open-minded secularism is as narrow and self-righteous as the most fundamentalist sect.
Imagine a religion that teaches its children to be proud of who they are, but that not everyone has to be like them. Can you think of a religion like that?
It's easy if you try.

Dubai, Dubai Al Imarat Al Arabiyah Al Muttahidah (PressExposure) July 30, 2012 -- Jumeirah Group, the global luxury hospitality company and a member of Dubai Holding, has been presented with two prestigious Brand Video Awards at this year's BRAVES award ceremony in London.
The BRAVES, celebrating the industry's biggest brands making their mark in the digital and video world, took place at a glamorous red carpet event at the Vue Cinema in Central London. The 'night at the movies' themed awards show broadcast the winning entries live on the big screen.
Beating stiff competition from Porsche, Intel, Sony and Lego, Jumeirah Group walked away with Best Adaptation of a TV Ad that recognised excellence in video content distribution, as well as the Grand Prix of the Campaign Braves section for the 'Leave the Ordinary Behind' video.
Consistently voted the world's most luxurious hotel, Burj Al Arab is one of the most photographed structures in the world. To showcase the unique structure and features of the hotel, Jumeirah Group created a video entitled 'Leave the Ordinary Behind' that shows, in breathtaking detail, a perfectly executed dive from the top of Burj Al Arab into the Arabian Gulf. Originally designed to inspire viewers, drive traffic to http://www.jumeirah.com and improve strategic keyword rankings on search engines, the film inspired Adam Young, founder of electronic project Owl City, to compose an original score for the video. In its various versions, the video has been viewed over 1 million times.
In line with its ambitious growth plans, Jumeirah Group recently announced the opening of Jumeirah Creekside Hotel in Dubai. This is the fifth Jumeirah property to open this year after Jumeirah Grand Hotel Via Veneto in Rome, Grosvenor House Apartments by Jumeirah Living in London, Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa in Mallorca and Pera Palace Hotel Jumeirah in Istanbul.

Miami doctors return to U.S. after amputating Haiti earthquake victims' limbs
Late Tuesday afternoon, four orthopedic surgeons from the University of Miami stood outside a Vision Airlines plane on the runway in Port-au-Prince waiting to board. After four days in the capital working in a facility at the United Nations compound, they were headed home. In that time, they amputated legs, arms and fingers of Haitians -- many of them children -- whose injuries had become infected with gangrene. Some had flies and maggots in their wounds. Others were treated for bad fractures.
Veronica Diaz, one of the surgeons, said she performed 24 operations -- 13 amputations -- in the past two days, and she showed pictures of a child who lost his fingers. Another photo showed her cutting off a man's severely infected leg.
"In the U.S. we could save their limbs, but here you can't," said Zak Mahmood, another surgeon.

I am a past board member and cannot say enough good things about this agency. The staff is amazing, the programs meet critical needs that very few others provide, and many clients come back to tell stories of success after therapy. I have referred friends to this agency and believe it is a jewell in our non-profit community.
Review from Guidestar
Family and Children's Place is a Louisville non-profit agency that serves families in Kentuckiana that experience abuse, particularly child sexual abuse. This agency is raising the bar for first-response services for children who report sexual abuse in Kentucky! By establishing a world class co-located Child Advocacy Center in Louisville, Kentucky, the agency is putting Kentucky on the map as a leader in the fight against child abuse. There are several essential services under one roof: Family and Children's Place offers forensic interviewing (held to the highest standard and best practice models), medical examinations to treat for injury or infection, and offices for local law enforcement and the Crimes Against Children unit. Having all these offices in one location minimizes the risks that children face when they report abuse. A victim's story can be told once and an immediate response can be made to protect the child and stop the abuse. They also provide ongoing services to families that seek the assistance of Family and Children's Place such as counseling and other services designed to help families heal, stabilize and recover.
This organization has a heart for the future of our children and our community! Keep up the good work!

Uterine Cancer Endometrial Cancer
Patient is a certified member of
The Information Standard
Reviewed by:
Dr Louise Newson, 01 Dec 2015
Uterine cancer is a cancer which develops in the womb (uterus). By far the most common type of uterine cancer comes from the inner lining of the womb, the endometrium. This is endometrial cancer.
What is it?
Women have a womb (uterus) and men don't. It is a pouch surrounded by muscle in the very lower part of a woman's tummy (abdomen). The womb is where babies develop and grow during pregnancy.
So cancer of the uterus is an illness that only women can get. It is also called endometrial cancer because the endometrium is the inner lining of the womb, and this is where the cancer usually starts. Other types of cancer of the uterus are rare and are not discussed in this leaflet.
Who gets it?
As already mentioned, this is something only women have to deal with. It tends to affect women in later life, after the menopause, although it occasionally affects younger women. It is a common type of cancer - indeed, it is the fourth most common cancer affecting women in the UK.
When should I see a doctor?
Women should visit a doctor for any unexpected bleeding from the vagina. Specifically, if you:
- Have already had your menopause and stopped bleeding but then have a bleed, even if it is just a little bit of brown-ish discharge. Brown discharge is usually old blood, suggesting a light bleed.
- Bleed between your periods.
- Bleed after having sex.
Most of the time, abnormal bleeding does NOT turn out to be cancer, but it's always best to get it checked out. Better safe than sorry.

Hey I was wondering how anyone here decided to deal with the scheme_management section. I would like to make things simpler by re-categorizing some of these values into new ones to make things simpler, but I tried looking up some of these values (like Waterboard and VWC and Trust) but there isn't much clarity on how to think of them.
Hi,On examination some of the values have a very small proportion of the total instances. - the None, SWC and Trust. So I regrouped these into the 'other' category. The idea was to reduce the factor levels so it does not skew the tree while running a random forest model.

001. thecherokeean.com reports in "Attorney General Abbott Charges Austin-based 'Naturopathic Doctor' with Deceiving the Public, Violating Texas Law" (2014-10-16):
"Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today charged Austin resident Robert Lindsey Duncan with unlawfully referring to himself as a naturopathic doctor in order to market and sell various nutritional products. Appearing on numerous nationally-broadcast television programs to promote vitamins, herbs and related health products, the defendant falsely refers to himself as 'Dr. Duncan,' 'Doctor' or 'ND' – despite not having the legal authority to make such representations. Texas law does not recognize naturopathic doctors [...]";
so, Texas has yet to join the licensed falsehood bandwagon, like Oregon's huge legislated falsehood.
002. here's where the AG tells us RLD is a Clayton College of Natural Health graduate:
and isn't it fascinating, a Clayton naturopath has their education based on the same nonsense as an AANMC naturopath. Yet, the latter is legally protected falsehood while the former is not!

Alienware and Dell Introduce New AMD LIVE! Systems

Two new major design wins for AMD
AMD today announced that it has received
two major design wins from Dell and Alienware
for the AMD LIVE! platform. AMD said that designs from both brands will be making their way into the market that utilize AMD's Athlon 64 X2 processor. All AMD LIVE! computers from Dell and Alienware will be dual-core computers and come ready to act as home theater PCs as well.
Alienware introduced several AMD LIVE! machines this week including one it calls the Alienware DHS high-definition media center. The machine integrates an amplifier by D2Audio Corporation with graphics being handled by a GeForce 6150. Interestingly, both AMD LIVE! platforms from Dell and Alienware feature NVIDIA system chipsets and graphics processors.
Despite AMD's acquisition of ATI
, AMD previously stated that it will continue to work tightly with NVIDIA on future designs and products. Systems from both Dell and Alienware will be equipped with similar movie and audio play-back software which includes a new AMD LIVE! Entertainment Suite:
AMD LIVE! Communicator powered by SightSpeed offers state-of-the-art video and voice communications over the Internet, allowing families and friends to stay connected no matter where they live.
AMD LIVE! Games powered by WildTangent delivers a fun gaming experience with a wealth of exciting online and downloadable games.
AMD LIVE! Kid Rocket Web Browser helps parents rest easy by offering children the ability to play online games and explore the Internet in a controlled and safe environment.
Communicator is simply a Skype-like application that enables voice and video conferencing while the bundled games are are small and focused towards entertainment for younger crowds.
In addition to new software and services, AMD has upgraded the existing AMD LIVE! Entertainment Suite. For example, new features in the AMD LIVE! Media Vault powered by Streamload include automatic file backup to an online account and file synchronization between networked PCs and devices.
Along with the Dell and Alienware systems, AMD also announced that several more manufacturers are putting together AMD LIVE! systems. Acer, Fujitsu Siemens, HP, Tsinghua Tongfang, and others have introduced or will be introducing systems. AMD LIVE! systems from Dell will be shipping under the XPS family of computers.
"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it." -- SCEA President Jack Tretton

If you sit in the passenger seat, you can only hope that the driver will steer the car to a safe destination. But sometimes, the driver doesn't take the route that you envision and end up driving to a whole different location. A location you don't even recognize. Think about that. We can't let people have so much control over the wheel. It can turn into an ugly situation. Don't sit in the passenger seat blindly not knowing where things are going or you are more destined to land somewhere else. Your GPS is set here and the other person's GPS is set elsewhere. It happens. The only thing you can do for yourself is to make sure this is going where you want it to go. So if you see that the route traveled is looking bad, get off at the next exit, and avoid that nonsense. Or kick that person out the driver seat, and let them hitchhike to their destination.
This is what we let people do with our emotions. This seems like a simple concept right? WRONG!! So many people let other people drive their vehicle of emotions and feelings. They give up the keys and just don't look up to see are they still on the same route. You have to stay in the driver seat. The heart is a fragile thing. When you choose to let other people make a decision what to do with your heart, you are taking a risk. And yes, love is a risk. I understand that. But just like when you're driving you have to look at the signs! This mean you taking control and paying attention to the caution signs and possibly having to detour off that road you're traveling on. You see the signs but when you let other people drive the car, they may blow right past he signs nonchalantly and here you go in a predicament. But you saw the signs! What did you do? Turned a blind eye, buckled u, hoped for the best, and hope the car doesn't flip over on this unsafe road. But you knew better and you did nothing. Now who is at fault? You know the person may not be as careful as you or may be blowing passed the signs, but you just hoped for the best rather than take control. You didn't tell them to pull this car over and let you have your car back. What happened now? An accident that could have been avoided. Some of us are still allowing these people back in driver seat. Why? You need to be hurt in another accident? Take the wheel! You drive your emotions. Some roads seem like they have no exits for miles and miles but you'll run into one if you are looking to get off that road..thank you for taking a look into My Thoughts..

Napa Valley is a world renown travel destination. We love the northern part of the wine country. Calistoga offers the tranquil setting that one is looking for in a vacation or break away.

- Petrified forest (2 miles away)
- Zip line (zip & sip) tour
- Mineral baths
Around Sonoma County:
- day trips to San Francisco and the ocean
- River Rock Casino
- discover giant redwood trees at Armstrong Redwood Park
- enjoy the town of Guerneville with its bohemian shops
- Charles Schultz Museum in Santa Rosa
- live music & concerts (Calistoga stages on weekends, and Luther Burbank Center for the arts)
We loved our five day stay at the villa! It was warm and well appointed. There were four of us staying at the villa and we had everything we needed. The hot tub was wonderful after our long days out exploring the area and the property was so quiet and serene that it was easy to forget you were ten minutes from Calistoga. Would definitely stay here again!
Clean and simple house with nice hot tub. Great location for going between the Napa and Sonoma sides of the valley and easy Uber ride to Calistoga.
Two couples stayed and enjoyed the lovely surroundings. Everything that might be needed was provided in the way of towels, dishes etc. Nice hot tub but too, hot that weekend for us to enjoy.
It was the hottest weekend on record and no air conditioning. Wish there had been a way to mitigate that!
We'd definitely come again!
House was clean and spacious . Wonderful bedding and towels .... even had robes out for us . This house was beyond my expectations . The property is well maintained and beautiful . The stars shined so bright at night and was very peaceful .
This is a very nice 2 BR house w great kitchen and living room (if not quite a "Villa"), reasonably close to Callistoga, set in the countryside with all the benefits that provides: quiet, birds, fresh air, and gorgeous old oak trees. It was exactly what we expected from the description. We had bicycles, so we took a wonderful ride South on Callisto Road, then Saint Helena Rd over the ridge, and on to Charles Krug Winery for a great lunch on the lawn. Links are not permitted on the these reviews but if you want to see a map of the ride, go to strava-dot-com-fwdslash-activities-fwdslash-973962023
The next day we cycled the Franz Valley Loop which was drop-dead gorgeous.
Before we left the owner came by and introduced herself. It was a great time.

Have been using for 2.5 years
Featured Review
Pros: gentle, safe, effective, smells great
Cons: doesn't come in a big enough bottle
I have been using this body wash/shampoo for almost 2.5 years on my boys. My 2 year old and 7 month old have very sensitive skin. I was raised on Burt's, and love most of their products! I tried to use lavender washes, "gentle" washes that you find in the baby store, and everything gave him a rash. I lived a very remote area, and there was one store that carried Burt's. I found it, and have been using it ever since. It takes wonderful care of my babies' skin, makes them smell fresh and like a baby. Love this stuff!!
