Tom Hiddleston NOT Dating Taylor Swift Look-Alike, Despite Report
Tom Hiddleston is NOT dating a Taylor Swift look-alike, despite a report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct the sensational and speculative story.
"BETTER THAN REVENGE," exclaims RadarOnline, announcing in a headline, "Tom Hiddleston Caught Getting Cozy With Taylor Swift Look Alike!" It says in the accompanying gallery, "Tom Hiddleston had no problem showing off his Taylor Swift 2.0 companion on the street this week." Readers are then encouraged to click through the "steamy" pictures.
The site goes on to write, "Sorry, Taylor! Just two months after they called it quits, Swift's ex Tom Hiddleston was spotted out with another pretty blonde." And after noting the actor "and his mystery woman were spotted walking around Hampstead, a north London suburb," the webloid asks, "In love again? Hiddleston couldn't help but smile on their jaunt."
Of course, it's perfectly normal for a person to smile. And there is nothing "steamy" whatsoever about the pictures, which just show Hiddleston and the "mystery woman" walking in the same vicinity as each other. That's hardly being "cozy." What's more is that she's not even a "mystery."
Gossip Cop has learned the woman in question is actually one of Hiddleston's colleagues at UNICEF, where he is an ambassador for the U.K. There's "nothing romantic" going on, a source close to the star exclusively tells Gossip Cop. So, no, Hiddleston is not dating a Swift look-alike simply because he was seen in public with a woman who has blonde hair.

¿Can I buy a factory unlocked iPhone 5 and use it with any service provider in Colombia?
- Asked by John V from Conroe
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
You will not be able to use LTE/4G in Colombia because iPhone5 (any model sold in the U.S.) is not compatible with the UNE's LTE (2600 MHz, band 7/38) as of Jan. 31, 2013. You'll be able to use the 3G/GSM networks of Movistar and COMCEL (CLARO) when you buy their nano-SIMs or cut micro-SIMs down to nano-size. You'll be able to connect to UNE's LTE network via WIFI/LTE modem.

Veritomyx Launches PeakInvestigator™ Software Services to Detect and Report Previously Hidden Mass Spectrometry Data
Software Processes Raw Mass Spec Data to Achieve 3-4X Resolution Increase, Revealing Peaks Hidden in Overlapped Data, Yielding New Discoveries from Existing Data
Mar 14, 2016, 10:00 ET from Veritomyx, Inc.
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Veritomyx, Inc., a leading innovator in mass spectral analysis software, today announced the commercial launch of PeakInvestigator™ software services ("PeakInvestigator"), applying advanced signal processing algorithms to reveal peaks and biomarkers previously hidden within overlaps in raw mass spectral data. The result is more complete and precise peak lists that increase discovery rate and provide faster, more accurate biomarker identification and quantitation results from existing raw mass spectral files.
PeakInvestigator is a high performance computing, software-as-a-service product that can be embedded in any mass spectrometric workflow, or accessed independently for post-processing of mass spec outputs. It processes raw mass spectral scans, and delivers an effective 3-4X resolution increase beyond that visible in the original data.
PeakInvestigator's increased resolution provides the ability to detect and exploit important new biomolecular discoveries previously hidden in data overlapped into a single peak feature. The ability to accurately detect, deconvolve and report previously hidden peaks and biomarkers offers researchers worldwide access to new discoveries mined from their enormous archives of existing raw mass spectral data.
The introduction of PeakInvestigator Version 1.2 with this launch now extends PeakInvestigator services to all three major classes of mass spectrometers: Time-of-Flight (TOF), Ion trap and Orbitrap.
Mr. Jeffrey N. Peterson, CEO & Chairman of Veritomyx, said: "PeakInvestigator introduces a powerful multiplication of discovery capabilities for most mass spectrometers in use today, from basic 'unit resolution' instruments on up to some of the highest performance mass spectrometers. However, we find it particularly exciting that researchers in all fields utilizing mass spectrometry have now been presented with a fresh, second opportunity to mine important discoveries from existing data. In many cases, the archived data that can now be re-mined for new discoveries came from irreplaceable samples already consumed."
Mr. Peterson continued: "Our valuable collaboration with Prof. Oliver Fiehn's laboratory in the West Coast Metabolomics Center at UC Davis provided an elegant illustration of PeakInvestigator software capabilities. Their existing peak detection and reporting techniques applied to routinely acquired mass spectral data could not detect or resolve an overlapped peak pair in patient samples from a diabetes study. PeakInvestigator was able to blindly detect, deconvolve and report this peak pair from the original raw mass spectral data for 98% of the patient samples. More importantly, continued analysis from a similar coronary atheroma patient cohort revealed that where a single overlap was suspected, 40 additional hidden peaks where reported by PeakInvestigator, and later confirmed by higher resolution mass spectrometry with an 88% positive predictive value."
Dr. Luke V. Schneider, CSO of Veritomyx' parent Target Discovery, Inc., explained: "PeakInvestigator uses advanced signal processing algorithms to deliver a statistically-driven result never before available in centroiding software. The algorithms self-train to adapt dynamically to local baseline and changes in analyzer tuning parameters. It consistently maximizes the yield of meaningful features detected."
Dr. Schneider concluded: "PeakInvestigator is fully automated requiring no user-adjustable parameters. This robust algorithmic design minimizes user, run-to-run, and instrument variability, by adapting itself to instrument and tuning variations. It takes the guess work out of mass spec analysis, and our users are consistently seeing 1-5% more real features than before."
About PeakInvestigator™ v1.2 Software Services
PeakInvestigator utilizes efficient high-performance cloud computing resources offered securely in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) format. Hidden discovery challenges that would otherwise demand expensive upgrades in mass spectrometry hardware (assuming precious samples were even available for re-analysis) can instead be solved for pennies per scan as PeakInvestigator post-processes existing data. PeakInvestigator is designed to process entire or partial LC/MS scan sets, or just a single spectrum.
A simple public application-programming interface (API) is freely available for implementation within user's existing mass spectrometry workflows. This leaves their validated workflow intact, while selectively accessing new PeakInvestigator capabilities.
For immediate and convenient access, MZmine PeakInvestigator™ Edition extends MZmine 2, a popular open-source mass spectrometry workflow platform, to include PeakInvestigator in its mass detection options. PeakInvestigator™ Direct Access allows users to upload and process one or more mass scans directly through their browser.
About Veritomyx, Inc.
Veritomyx, Inc. develops, markets and sells access to innovative software solutions addressing long-standing limitations in mass spectrometry signal processing and biomolecular identification challenges. Across the life sciences, the complexity of biological samples often present demands to detect and resolve overlapped information, or to deliver extraordinary signal analysis precision in proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, etc. These challenges extend into the food/agriculture sector, and beyond into petroleum, industrial, and environmental applications.
Veritomyx is a majority-owned subsidiary of Target Discovery, Inc., an innovator in personalized medicine that specializes in the discovery, validation, and utilization of protein isoforms to improve clinical diagnosis and management of disease.

Korea Traditional Food Healthy Secrets7 Oct 2014
Korea traditional food is one of the healthiest inthe world. The secret is in the cooking techniques and ingredients that pay attention to the balance of nutrients for health.
Cooking techniques are indeed very terjaganya effect on the nutrients contained in afood. In fact, the majority of Korea traditional food prepared in a healthy way, such asboiled, steamed, grilled, sauteed, and so there's not much use of oil. Not only that, thefood is also made of materials having regard to the balance of nutrition nutritious tohealth.
President of the Institute of Traditional Korean resep pie susu Food Prof Sook-Ja Yoon said Koreatraditional food is very diverse. It is influenced by the four seasons that occurred in the country, the provinces of each region, as well as special dishes for the Kingdom.
However, since ancient times the whole foods always pay attention to the balance ofnutrients. Therefore, food for the people of Korea are not merely rich but alsoefficacious for health.
"To this end, in every traditional dishes we always contains the five elements of color in each serving," says Prof Ja Yoon in Jakarta not long ago.
Prof. Ja Yoon explains the colors of the five elements is green, red, yellow, white, andBrown. For Green materials are usually derived from vegetables and preserve the health of the stomach is beneficial.
The color red, he continued, it is usually derived from the chilli serves to maintainheart health. Brown color usually comes from fungus-jamuran that serves the kidneysmaintain health. The white color to keep your lungs from the mustard andhorseradish. While the yellow food ingredients to maintain the health of the liver.
High In Fiber
Prof. Ja Yoon said Korea cuisine fame as nutritious healthy food for health made theircuisine is famous throughout the world. Plus more, the taste of the food is deliciousand unique Korea so easily accepted by many people.
One of the very famous food is Kimchi, fermented vegetable hot and kind of made from chicory which spices. Laktobasilus bacteria that play a role in the process offermenting kimchi lactic acid produced by the higher levels of the yogurt. In 2000,bakteriosin-producing lactic acid bacteria of kimchi was named Lactobacillus in Kimchi.
"Kimchi contains high levels of dietary fiber, yet low-calorie, healthy food is believed to be the world. In fact, Kimchi and also the manufacturing process called Gimjang hascrowned as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the United NationsEducational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), "explained
Prof. Ja Yoom.
According to Prof. Ja Yoon, Kimchi with a perfect taste, obtained when fermentation process has been through over the last three weeks in temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius. In addition, he continued, there are also many variations of Kimchi was not only Whole Cabbage Kimchi is spicy and is red and made from mustard. Call it WhiteKimchi offers a taste of the spicy despite not using mustard greens. There are alsovarious Kimchi and made of radishes.
Prof. Ja Yoon said Korea healthy food fame also flourished in resep dadar gulung Indonesia. In fact, as many as 12 restaurants Korea in Jakarta is a former student of Prof. Ja Yoon, who studied in all its institutions.
However, he continued, many of Indonesia's peoples did not know that not all the food existing in Indonesia Korea is their traditional dishes. Therefore, most modernKorea cuisine is also present in Jakarta or called with K-Food. In fact, K-Food disheswith traditional they are very different.
"For our traditional food usually contains the five elements of color and is very easy to do," explained him.

POLICY BRIEF: Living with the Consequences
Living with the Consequences: The Effects of Voting Down the Iran Nuclear Agreement
Policy Brief by J. Dana Stuster
July 28, 2015
Should Congress vote down the nuclear agreement with Iran, it will inhibit the ability of the United States to implement an effective foreign policy for the foreseeable future. Rejecting the deal will alienate U.S. allies and diminish U.S. standing in future negotiations. It will isolate the United States both diplomatically and economically, as the sanctions regime collapses and rivals set up a new financial infrastructure that will undermine the effectiveness of U.S. sanctions. It will empower the hardliners in Iran that drive the worst elements of Iran's regional policies, escalating conflict in Iraq and Syria, and encourage them to rush for the nuclear weapon that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is designed to prevent. And it will do this while leaving Iran's nuclear program unconstrained and our leverage diminished, making a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities – and a series of low-intensity reprisals – almost certainly inevitable.
These are just the foreseeable consequences – to say nothing of unanticipated second- and third-order effects. And even if not all of these effects occur, each that does makes the next significantly worse – and the United States less able to mitigate the harm to its foreign policy. The consequence of rejecting the nuclear agreement is more than the sum of its parts: It is a catastrophe.

Three months ago, the country was on fire for women's health. Remember that rally for women's health in Foley Square where thousands turned out to hear Congressman Anthony Weiner, Kathleen Hanna, Jasmine Burnett, Cecile Richards, and countless other champions for reproductive rights?
Well, a lot has changed since then, and I'm not talking about Weinergate. At the Rally for Women's Health, I decided I needed to take a public stand and talk about my own experience as a proud patient of Planned Parenthood. I made a YouTube video explaining that I first started using Planned Parenthood as a teen with no money and nowhere to turn for private, safe, and affordable "well-woman" care. I sent it to everyone I could think of.
A few weeks later, I was invited by Planned Affiliates of New Jersey and Senator Frank Lautenberg to re-tell my story on the Planned Parenthood Truth Tour in Englewood, NJ. It was only after going back to my home state after being away at college that I realized how terrible things had become not only for women, but also for entire New Jersey families.
Last year, Governor Christie completely eliminated New Jersey's state budget for women's health and family planning. This funding helped provide basic reproductive health care services to over 136,000 New Jersey residents. I'm talking about gynecological exams, contraception, health screenings (blood pressure, anemia and diabetes), cancer screenings, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, HIV testing and counseling, pregnancy testing and pre-pregnancy counseling. All of this, totally slashed, throwing typical New Jersyians like me under the bus.
This forced many health clinics like Planned Parenthood to cut down their hours, and some have closed completely. Not only does limiting access to safe, affordable care affect the health of a population, but it is also a strain on our wallets. According to the Guttmacher Institute, adequate funding for family planning reduces state costs for pre-natal and delivery, abortion, welfare and social services. For every public dollar spent on family planning services, an estimated $4 is saved in Medicaid costs.
So, New Jersey, we are in more trouble than I thought. We need to find the fire from months ago and use it to win back our right to safe, affordable healthcare. I, for one, will continue to speak out. I already shared my story this past Monday, June 20th in front of the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton. I hope you will speak out too!

24 metres of Fang by I-Artemis-IWatch
©2012-2017 I-Artemis-I
Actually, i ended up making about 30m of this edging. SOOOO painful. I tried hand painting with fabric paint, but it bled like crazy on the satin material. So i forked out for a screen printing set. And it works great. Except you have to heat set the paint to make sure you can wash it. I read on the net that you could shove it in the oven (which seemed preferable to ironing 24m), so i tested the worst bit, and it seemed to work. Then i put another bit in and because the oven was still hot it partly melted together! Which meant i had to redo about 3m of the edging. Grrrrrr. Its not all perfect (sometimes the stencil slipped, or it wasn't perfectly straight, or i dropped a dollop of paint!) but in general i'm pretty happy with it, and the rest i can hopefully hide as the underside that no one will look at (but i will know its there!). Just sewing to go now and its done!

The Xavier Musketeers lost to the No. 23 Iowa Hawkeyes 77-74 in the first round of the 2013 Battle 4 Atlantis that saw the Musketeers, who were leading by seven at halftime, lose late in overtime.
This loss will be heartbreaking for the Musketeers, who hoped to sneak into the top-25 with a win. Despite the disappointing early loss after a promising 5-0 start, the Musketeers have an extremely bright season ahead of them. Their non-conference schedule includes tough games against the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Cincinnati Bearcats, but unfortunately, the rest of their remaining non-conference games don't look very good on paper.
However, the Musketeers may get a boost from the surprisingly good Big East conference.
The Big East may not be the tough conference that it used to be, but the Villanova Wildcats, Butler Bulldogs, Marquette Golden Eagles, Creighton Bluejays and Georgetown Hoyas are all potential 2014 NCAA Tournament teams. If Xavier can maintain a decent record in the Big East and finish around third place, there is a definite chance of making it to the 2014 NCAA Tournament even with a few non-conference losses.
The Musketeers are an NCAA Tournament-ready team. If they can focus and not let tough losses like the one to Iowa shake them, there is no doubt that they can make it to March Madness. Expect big things from Xavier in both the Big East and the 2014 NCAA Tournament. They're talented enough to possibly even sneak into the Sweet 16.

HOUSTON (KHOU)-- Investigators are asking for the public's help in identifying and locating a man who broke into a northwest Harris County apartment and sexually assaulted a 63-year-old woman.
It happened in the early morning hours last Friday at an apartment complex located in the 10000 block of Old Bammel North.
The victim told deputies the man broke into her apartment by kicking in the patio door and then raped her. She told deputies the man threatened to kill her if she did not comply with his demands.
Deputies said the man fled on foot, but not before demanding money and other items from the apartment.
The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Investigators released a composite suspect sketch Wednesday and said the man is described as black, believed to be between 20 and 30 years old, approximately 5-feet-9 inches to 6-feet-tall, with a big build and a large belly. The victim said the man also had marks underneath both eyes and that he was wearing a blue and white striped collar shirt, blue denim shorts, and black suede shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

sort by best latest
Absolutely not. Actually, despite what people often believe, the more you spend the less you ultimately have, and the less freedom you have. Thrifty spending, as opposed to being a spendthrift is key.
You spend 80% of your means, and you save the remaining 20%. That goes into the bank, into wise investment etc. You extend the 80/20 rule to your spending of large ticket items like houses and cars. I call that the compound 80/20 rule. If you can afford a $200,000 house, you look for a house for $160,000. If you can afford a $20,000 car, you look for a car for $16,000. The "compound" part comes down the road as you begin to realize that you are actually spending less than the 80% and saving more than the 20% you were originally.
Couple things are going to happen. You will live better. You will have more freedom to choose what you want to do. If a recession comes along and changes your financial dynamic, including scoops your job away, you will have plenty in the bank to fall back on. When the credit card company (if you've used them) comes along and says "we are going to increase your rates like it or not," you have money in the bank to tell them where they can go with their terms.
You will also retire far earlier than your spendthrift peers who think they are living it up. The only reason a person cannot afford to retire is because by the time they reach retirement age they are still paying things off, AND have not saved near enough.
I should point out that being thrifty by no means means that you are, or that you have to live like a pauper. You can still have the toys. The difference is that the one who lives below their means can actually afford them...
And enjoy using them by the way. How many people do you know with beautiful boats in their driveways that never see their way to the water for which they were intended? The folks who own them are often times too busy working to pay for them to actually use them. :)

Speaking as an ex-Spendthrift, now recovering, no. However, it is a question of degrees. It's fun to have had the pleasures and treasures, but the cleanup is stressful. Example - gradually reducing storage lockers; digitalizing over 100 Kodak carousels of slides; selling on eBay for a few years; giving, giving, giving; and there's still a pile of junque. "Well" is in your head. The relief of simplicity is worth the pain of restraint. I know: been there, done that. In fact, I have a blog about growing poor gracefully. I admit, I probably added to the financial meltdown, but I'm not helping cure it by not buying. Which is worse? To buy or to save? (Old Yankee trick: answer a question with a question.)

I've always been taught to save and be frugal. I feel I live pretty well for a 22 year old. Buy the things you need when they're on special, don't rely on credit cards, don't buy what you can't afford, take advantage of high interest savings accounts....
Each person has their definition of living well. Mine is having what I need, a bit of what I want while saving for what I *really* want. Which is, my own property.

No NYC, but that should be easy to fix?
(And not to quibble, but "how hard it is" would actually be shown better by an accessibility analysis)
FYI - At the last DOT #OpenData forum, the DOT stated that they will released the 2015 bike shape file shortly.
Here's New York in the same style.[image: Inline image 1] Maybe theydidn't like for the article because it doesn't look that "hard to getacross".
@cwhong there is bike path from lower manhattan to staten island?!
also, what are all the little specks in queens and the bronx? are those parks?
Here are some more bike network maps, with a nice browser that lets you hide some categories (e.g. the SI Ferry, which is classed as a "Link" in the NYC data).
@noneck I believe those little specks might be links used for routing?
On a side note I'm currently helping @eric with creating a Map Roulette challenge in OpenStreetMap that will have users examine a diff between the new DOT / City data vs. what's currently in OSM. We have been looking at the DOT data and there are lots of little segments such as these that are solely used for routing. I'm not sure why they would be so isolated, from what I understand they are used to connect bike routes. @colin_reilly would likely be able to clarify as well.
Oh and @noneck the path from MN to SI is the ferry route, which I guess counts as a bike route? But I assume you were just being sarcastic
@noneck DOT committing to release their bike lane data is one great result of that forum. When I made that comment someone sitting close by let me know that bike lane vectors are also available from the DCP's street data. They are aparently a layer or attribute on certain streets and this dataset is updated every 3 months, I haven't gotten a chance to actually find this data yet though.
Pop Chart Lab also made a bike lane only map of NYC that you can buy prints of. I actually own this print, and I'm pretty sure the data is from 2013.
I think its Batman's underwater tunnel to the Bat Cave
@bahijnyc this map cuts out Staten Island.
@clhenrick "Map Roulette challenge in OpenStreetMap"?!?!
I agree that DOT committing to releasing the 2015 bike route shapefile is one great result of the Forum. It's a shame they don't really track revisions for most datasets in the DOT Data Portal.
As we wait for the 2015 shapefile, I went ahead and archived the 2013 shapefile on the Community Data Portal. Once the 2015 shapefile is out, I'll update the viz below so we can see how the bike network has grown over time.
Nice pic Joel!
I wonder how hard would it be to staple the NJ data onto this? Does NJ have comparable data that is easy to access?
I know a lot of cyclists (myself included) who frequently ride over the GWB and towards Tappanzee.. Would be interesting to see how Jersey City stacks up..

One Year Later: Should you Buy the PlayStation 4?
The PlayStation 4 was released on November 15, 2013, over a year ago. Its initial release didn't come with a huge selection of PS4-only games, not to mention that the console wasn't backwards compatible. However, with more new releases coming later this year (along with other new features), Sony might just push more gamers towards Team PS4, after all. Still on the fence? Don't worry, we run down the pros and cons so you can better make your own decision.

Hi all,
Four friends picking up rental car in Munich city 9 am, then travelling to Garmisch-Parkenkirchen area for 3 nights. Need some itinerary advice re logistics for routing and time for activities.
Day 1: Leave Munich by 10am, drive to Mittenwald (lunch), visit Parnach Gorge in afternoon - do the hike to the end, then circle back (how long would this hike take?). Would there be time to also visit Oberamergau + maybe do the Alpine Roller Coaster (seems like a lot packed in for one day??); drive to accommodation in Garmisch.
Day 2: Visit Zugspitze, then Linderhof, Kloster Ettal; accommodation in Garmisch.
Day 3: Book first English tours of Hohenschwangau & Neuschwanstein Castles, lunch; visit Fussen; visit Wieskirch. Accommodation in Garmisch; travelling north early the next morning.
Some have said the Tegelbahn near Fussen has views as good as Zugspitze and that the Karwendel near Mittenwald has good views and is almost as high as Zugspitze - does anyone have comments on these as an alternative to Zugspitze? Although a couple of my friends are really wanting to do the Zugspitze - please offer your comments.
Can anyone suggest reorganization of above intinerary to make a better flow to accommodate everything? Are there other suggestions for visits? Open to any and all suggestions - Thanks!

Germany - Garmisch-Parkenkirchen - 3 Days Itinerary Advice
Hi all,
Report Abuse
Revised above: (Base in Garmisch)
Day 1: Drive from Munich, visit Mittenwald and then hike Partnach Gorge (though it looks like we actually go through Garmisch to get to Mittenwald - so a bit of backtracking) - Garmisch for the night
Day 2: Zugspitze, Linderhof, Kloster Ettal - Garmisch for the night
Day 3: Hohenschwangau & Neuschwanstein Castles, Fussen, Wieskirch,
Oberammergau - Garmisch for the night
From here we go to Ulm - should we be doing Day 3 backwards and be switching hotels for our last night in this area?? Don't really want to do that, but now that I look closer at our itinerary, we will be doing more back-tracking - if we finished day 3 with the castle visits in the afternoon, and stayed the night near Fussen, we would not be back-tracking enroute to Ulm the next morning...
How does the balance look for activities for each day?

flpab, We are going in September.
How much time would you recommend we set aside for doing Zugspitze?
Report Abuse
We spent two weeks over Christmas just in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. We were return visitors. The gorge is lovely, if you can skip Mittenwald (per flpab's suggestion) you can take the lift up the Eckbaurbahn right next to
Olympic stadium and hike the loop through the gorge. It was half a day in snow with two small children. The views are beyond words. Mittenwald is sweet but nothing there you won't get in GaPa. Quick 20 min train ride from Garmisch if you decide to go however, train runs hourly. Buy the Bayern pass for train travel. You can put up to 4 people on it.
You sure are going to be busy! Oberammergau is not the sleepy village it was 20 years ago, it is lovely but GaPa can't be beat for sights and shopping honestly.
Good luck.

Some suggestions:
Day 1: Pick up car as early as possible. You have a full day. If the car rental agency is near your hotel you and your alternate driver/navigator could pick up the car and return to the hotel for the others and the luggage. Drive to Oberammagau, about 1-1/2 hours. It is on the route Munich to Garmisch. Explore the town. Have lunch. Plan on 2 hours. Drive 20 min to Linderhof. About 2 hrs to tour the palace and the grotto. Drive 15 min back to Ettal. If time allows tour the Monastery and Pilgrimage church. If not, save for Day 3, you will driving by Ettal on your return from the castles. Drive 30 min to your hotel in Garmisch. Dinner in the pedestrian zone.
Day 2: Zugspitze in the AM. Two ways to ascend the Zugspitze from Garmisch. Cogwheel train(Zugspitzbahn from the Banhof Zugspitzbahn)(1.25 hrs one-way) or cogwheel train-plus-cable car(Eibseeseilbahn) at Eibsee-10 min ascent (45 min total one-way). Both cost 52 euro. If you take the train you complete the journey to the summit on the modern Gletscherbahn cable car. You can also drive to Eibsee and take the cable car, not sure if you save any $$$. Lunch before descending.
Partnachklamm (Partnach Gorge) makes a good pairing with Zugspitze in the AM and Partnach Gorge (2+ hrs) in the PM. The trailhead is about 2km south of the Olympic stadium.
www.partnachklamm-info.de German only
In the late afternoon you may head to Mittenwald (30 min) and stay for dinner.
Day 3: Drive the southern route through Austria to Hohenschwangau & Neuschwanstein Castles for your pre-reserved English tours of the castles. Do not park at the first parking lot as you can keep going and park near the ticket office. You will bypass the long no reservation line and go up to the reservation only window. Smile at those in the long line. After the tours have lunch at the restaurant which is half way down the hill from Neuschwanstein. Drive the northern route back to Garmisch through Steingaden stopping at Wieskirche. Continue on to the Sommerrodelbahn Steckenberg, near Oberammergau, for one of the better summer luge rides. Dinner G-P followed by Bavarian music.
Next day: Drive to Ulm (2hrs) drop off your friend to visit relatives and continue on to Rothenburg ( 1-1/2 hrs) for the night.

Appreciate everyone's opinions on Mittenwald - so it looks like it is a miss, unless we decide to go there for dinner one night. Had read so many people's comments about Mittenwald, that it seemed like a "must-see", however, maybe not in relation to everything else we will be seeing in the area...
We cannot pick up our rental car in Munich until 9am (since it is a Sunday), so I figured at least a half hour for paperwork etc., otherwise I would try for a much earlier start for our drive to Garmisch area.
dugi_otok, thanks for the day to day re-organization of our itinerary and great suggestions. In general, it sounds like everyone thinks we are trying to pack in too much in our few days...
(story of my travel life...)
A few questions:
Leaving Munich: Anyone know what to expect re traffic driving out of Munich city on a Sunday morning?
Linderhof Palace: I see on the Linderhof Palace website that a person can reserve - is this necessary? Would there normally be a long wait to get in (on a Sunday afternoon) -I see it is open until 6pm. I cannot at the moment, find visiting times for Kloster Ettal, but I am thinking they close earlier ?4:30pm - thought I read it somewhere; so maybe visit Ettal and then Linderhof? or maybe that would be too rushed for Linderhof Palace? (and of course, like suggested, could leave visiting Ettal until Day 3)
- I think a lot depends on how busy these places are on a Sunday...
Zugspitze: It looks like the cogwheel train starts right IN Garmisch?? -thus no need to drive unless of course we need to drive to the Banhof Zugspitzbahn from our hotel- ?paid parking there (will map out the distance from our hotel) - or would it make more sense just to drive to Eibsee so our car is possibly handier for drive on to Partnach Gorge for the afternoon?
- If we were to take the cogwheel from Garmisch, then switch to the cable car at Eibsee, is there a wait to get on the cable car?
- How much time would one want to spend once at the summit of Zugspitze?
Austria: If we were to drive into Austria enroute to the castles, does that mean we would have to stop for border-crossing checks and how much time does this usually take (as there would be two checks - into Austria, then back into Germany)? I also read somewhere that gas is cheaper in Austria, thus good time to fill up the tank.
dugi_otok, you suggested stopping for lunch halfway down hill from Neuschwanstein Castle visit - is this a particularly good restaurant (for food) or is it lovely views? (or both) -I imagine it is somewhat expensive if it is the only restaurant along the way?
Also, how much time would one allow for a visit in Fussen?
Re restaurants: is it necessary to reserve for dinner in Garmisch or Mittenwald, and if so, can anyone make suggestions? or can we just meander about and find a place to our liking...
Accommodation: we have booked a hotel about a 10 minute or so walk from the tourist office in Garmisch (I assume this is where the pedestrian walking zone is?) - (dugi_otok, we tried for the hotel you suggested but it was already full).
Since booking our hotel, I was reading that Parkenkirchen is a more desirable place to stay than Garmisch (more quaint I guess) - I realize they are close together, but I had never read this before - any comments from anyone of preference between the two places?
Thanks all!

flpab, We are going in September.
How much time would you recommend we set aside for doing Zugspitze?
Half a day at least. We always eat lunch since the views are so beautiful.
Report Abuse
raz - We spent 4 days in Garmisch in September, and did most of the activities you are planning. We dipped into Austria for 15 - 20 minutes while driving to our Garmisch accommodation, and again one other time ... I'm thinking it was on our way to Hohenschwangau & Neuschwanstein.
There are no border checks, though I believe a vignette is required on highways - you can find some information at the link below.
Because we were just skirting the border for these two short trips, we took a chance and didn't purchase the vignette - we did not get caught, but I'm certainly no expert in this area, so not recommending that to you because I cannot say what the actual chances of getting caught may be. Those with more experience driving in Austria can possibly be of more help.
It's a beautiful and pristine area, have a great trip.

You are over thinking, it is really a laid back area. Traffic on a Sunday from Munich will be ok, just follow the speed limits as it does change, stay out of the passing lanes. You are thinking of stopping in Ettal on your way to Garmisch? No problem. Just go inside, take a look around and head to Oberammergau, walk around, have lunch and head to Linderhof. Linderhof grounds are very pretty, house tour is very short. Wagner's piano would have been loved by Liberace. Then head to your accommodations. You can get to the top of the Zugspitze two ways, cog train or cable car. I like the cog train for the experience but come back the cable car. It cost the same if you go from Eibsee or Garmisch.
Parkenkirchen use to have our favorite place to eat but they closed. The street there is beautiful, part of the Roman Rd. http://www.gasthof-fraundorfer.de/english/index.php hokey but a fun night there. Make a reservation for here.

flpab, is there a restaurant at the top of Zugspitze then?
phillyboy - would you say we are doing too much for only 3 days in this area? Can you offer suggestions of what you might make less of a priority, and where you would spend more of your time?
I looked at the Austrian driving rules and we would then require an international driver's license just for that little jaunt (which we don't require in Germany - costs $25 Cdn = 18 euro), plus the cost of a vignette is 8.20 Euro. Would it be worth that expense for the small amount of time we'd be travelling in Austria do you think? And would the scenery be that much different?

Leaving Munich. Ask the car rental agency the best way to get to the Highway to Garmisch/Oberammagau. I would not expect any traffic problems on a Sunday not even the feared Umleitung.
Linderhof. No long waits that time of year. The ticket will give a tour time for the 30 min English tour of the Palace. Then visit the delightful park surrounding the Schloss, several fountains, Moorish kiosk, and the spectacular Venus-Grottte. Plan on 2 hours here.
Ettal is open 7am-7:45pm in summer, 8am-6pm winter. After you visit the church, you can purchase carvings, candles, liqueurs, and Ettaler beer in the abbey shop.
Zugspitze. Take the train from Garmisch. It will be part of your vacation. Take the Eibsee-Seilbahn cable car to save 30 min in getting to the summit.How much time up there is up to you. You can cross over to the Austria side. On clear days the views extend to Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria. Have lunch. The only time there are waits to descend is bad weather. You will not see that.
Castles via Austria. There are no formal border crossings. It is like state to state in the USA. But you need an Austrian Vignette. Purchase at a gas station in Germany before you cross the border, about $10 for 10 days. You will be caught by waiting police just across the border. Heavy fines to 400 euros. You must adhere it to your window. It is a 1 hour drive to the castles.
The suggested stopping for lunch halfway down hill from Neuschwanstein Castle visit. The restaurant does have very good food and is not expensive. We were walking down from the castle. My daughter-in-law wanted to stop for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised. All 5 of us ordered differently and everyone thought it was good. Salads to lunch plates.The service was good. The college age waitresses were very nice and helpful in ordering.I recommend it.
Fussen is a pleasant town with an ancient abbey, museums, and is surrounded by lakes but is mainly a base for seeing the castles. I would just drive out and head for Weiskirche. Of course, if you see something interesting do stop. We did stop to ride the Tegelberg luge. My grandchildren wanted to stop at every luge that we saw.
No need to make dinner reservations in Garmisch unless you want to go to a special restaurant like the Gasthof Fraundorfer.
Mittenwald. I hope you can fit in Mittenwald. It is in a beautiful location below the Kranzberg and Karwendel massifs and is a beautiful town with an abundance of frescoed house facades. A great representative of Alpine Germany.

http://europeforvisitors.com/germany/garmisch/zugspitze-restaurants.htm The panorama bistro, funny story. We were there with friends for the day and a film crew was doing a documentary on a waitress that worked there. She spoke English and they asked if we would eat and let her wait on us speaking English. Free meal and beers. We did it and saw the film several months later. There are several places to eat and the food was very good.
Oberammagau is one of my fav places in Bavaria. It is home to the Passsion place but also the NATO school. Just about the most picturesque place ever. Just pop in and look at cathedral in Ettal and save an hour for this on your way to Linderhof. If you want to skip anything it would be Neuschwanstein Castle.

Going to Munich the week of April 6.
Thinking of doing this as a day trip with the Bayern ticket.
If the peak isn't clear, is it work the 42.50 Euro for the cogwheel and cable car combo (is it cable car for both up and down to/from the peak?)?
Is it worth touring around Garmisch-Parkenkirchen or possibly taking the 20-30 minute ride to Mittenwald if the weather isn't clear at the peak?
Guess I would have to pack a heavier coat and thermal underwear and boots just for this day trip.

It is good that you are paying attention to detail.I like the trip you have planned especially the way you have incorporated the requirements of your friend who wants to visit relatives during your vacation.
About the drive from Garmisch to the castles.
You do not need the Austrian vignette for the drive from Garmisch to Hohenschwangau (reference Rick Steves).Sorry for the bad information. You will be in Austria for 17 miles of the 38 mile trip.You can also ignore the International driving permit which is not a drivers license but is only a translation of your home drivers license.I recommended the this route to the castles because it is about 15 min shorter and less likely to have any traffic problems than an all Germany route.You will see some Austrian villages and drive through Fussen. I would not call it scenic. I think it is better than taking the same route to and form Garmisch to the castles.

raz - Here's the basics of what we did during the time we spent in Garmisch and environs:
Day 1 - Saturday - Arrived late afternoon. Beautiful sunny day, walked around town and had dinner at nice local restaurant recommended by our hotel. Don't remember name of restaurant, here is the hotel
Day 2 - Sunday - Another gorgeous sunny day. The hotel staff advised that this would be a good day for Zugspitze because it was so clear, so we did that - it was great. We drove to the mountain and took the cable cars - I think there were 2 of them - to the summit. Our plan was to next walk the Partnach Gorge, which is just south of Garmisch. We drove there, but my friend's wife was not feeling up to the walk, so we went back to the hotel and drank heavily for the remainder of the afternoon, then went to dinner.
Day 3 - Monday - Another very nice day. Drove to Hohenschwangau for the two castles. Between the drive (about 40 minutes), waiting in line for reservations and tickets, and the actual visits, this turned out to be a whole day. As others have said, though Neuschwanstein is spectacular from the outside, the tour itself was underwhelming. Hohenschwangau was much more interesting.
Day 4 - Tuesday - Gray and drizzly. Went to Linderhof, which was really great. Beautiful small palace with gorgeous estate grounds, waterfalls, and other interesting sights on the grounds. Went from there to Oberammergau for a late afternoon lunch and a couple of pleasant hours walking around the town.
We left Garmisch on Wednesday, spent the day at Oktoberfest before flying home on Thursday.
Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for itemizing your days in Garmisch, phillyboy - Did you have reserved tickets for the 2 castles? What time were your tickets for? Just trying to figure out why the visits took the entire day. We were planning to book the tours early-ish in the morning and were thinking we would have most of the afternoon available for other sights. Also, you say it only took 40 min. to get to the castles but when I go on viamichelin.com, it shows 1-1.25 hrs for the route through Austria.
Thanks dugi_otok, but I am a little confused re the driver's permit and the vignette for Austria. Are you saying that neither is needed because it is only a short drive in Austria and thus, not much chance in getting ticketed, or that it is not required for a short trip (but how would the authorities know)? Looking at Austria's regulations, it definitely says that an international driver's permit is required when driving in Austria and also the vignette. Can you clarify this for me? What exactly does Rick Steves say about this?

Hi raz
From Rick Steves Germany in a section which he calls Arrival in Reutte(Austrian village on this road which he touts as a base when visiting the castles): "While Austria requires a toll sticker(Vignette) for driving on its highways(8 euros/10 days,buy at the border, gas stations, car-rental agencies, or Tabak shops), those just dipping into Tirol from Bavaria do not need one.
In another section of the Rick Steves book Know Before You Go "If you're planning on renting a car in Germany, you'll need your US driver's license. It's recommended-but not required-that you also carry an International Driving Permit." My own experience in driving in Europe for the last 50 years I have never been asked to show an International Driving Permit. I have had an IDP on occasion, but I would not get one for your trip. You should do whatever you are comfortable with.
No drinking and driving.Also Speed cameras are everywhere. We were greeted with a traffic ticket notice from Avis France when we got home last year.Had to pay a fine and an Avis handling fee.

raz - I'm going just from memory, and the 40 minute travel time may have been incorrect - it may have been an hour or a bit more.
We did not leave first thing in the morning. Our hotel called the ticket office around 9:30 or 10 AM, and told us we wouldn't need reservations on that day. We arrived late morning, and got in the ticket line. The process was that you tell them which castle, or both, that you wish to visit. We wanted both, and they set the tour times with the aid of some computer program - very efficient.
I think there were 2 or 2 1/2 hours between the two tour times. Even though the actual tours were only about 45 minutes each, this time was needed due to the amount of time needed just to get up and down to/from each castle - waiting for bus or carriage, walking, or whatever possible combination you choose.
I suppose if you leave first thing in the morning, you might be able to fit in another minor activity nearby on the same day, but not very much that I could see.

We are going in May, but will be in Germany 3 weeks. We won't have a car and are doing trains, but starting our trip by basing in GP 4 days.
I'll be sure to post when we get back
Report Abuse
dlongan, I will look forward to your post when you get back - will be interested on how much you were able to accomplish in those 4 days in GP via trains and also any tips you will have for those of us travelling there. Thanks
phillyboy, I have taken a close look at the map of Hohenschwangau and now have a better understanding of what is actually involved in a visit to these castles. Even with reserved tickets, we need to pick them up 1 hour prior to our booked time, then a 20-30 min. walk to get up to Schloss Hohenschwangau for a 35 min. tour, then back down, then another 40 min. walk up to Neuschwanstein Castle for 30 min. tour, then back down again.
Hence, since we have a 1+ hour drive from Garmisch, I can't see the four of us getting there by 8am in order to pick up tickets for first tour at 9am, and I can see now why there would be at least 2 hrs necessary between the 2 tours times, and also why there won't be much time for too much else in the afternoon - though in dugi's rearrangement of our itineray on that day, it is stops at villages along the drive back to GP, so nothing big...
phillyboy, you said you were there in September - do you remember how long the lineup was for the non-reserved tickets, and was it a weekend or a weekday? Was thinking that if we didn't do the reserved tickets, it would allow us more flexibility for choosing a nice weather day for Zugpitze, but also don't want to wait in a huge line...
And did anyone do the Museum in addition to the 2 castles - is it worth the extra euros for all three?
Dugi, I see on the Hohenschwangau map there are several restaurants- looks like one on either end of the museum and another partway down the road towards the first 3 parking areas - I didn't see one partway down the hill from Neuschwanstein Castle. Just trying to figure out which one you had lunch at?
PS Hope your speeding ticket wasn't a big one... and thanks for the clarification on Austria.

More photos. One shows the castle in the background.
Note. We actually stayed in the hotel with our teenage kids many years ago.Our room had the tower you see in the picture.
On the last trip 3 years ago I came with my son, his wife, and his two kids.This is when we had lunch after the castle tour.

raz - The line for tickets was fairly long - in the ticket office is a zig zag line-up affair with railings to keep it organized, and on the day we were there (it was a Monday), the line spilled outside the building. However, there were 5 or 6 ticket windows open and the line moved quickly and efficiently. It was maybe a half hour from when we arrived to getting our tickets.
I think the wait for a bus to Hohenschwangau, our first tour, was a bit longer - busses came every few minutes, filled up, and moved on.
Report Abuse
Thanks dugi - the hotel & restaurant look very nice - they even have availability - tempting to switch for our last night in GP area (though would be "shared bath" -not a fan, never know how many you have to share with... but rates surprisingly reasonable)-then we could do afternoon tours and be well positioned for our departure to Ulm the following morning - have to think on that one, as GP was the only place we are actually booked for 3 nights in a row...
I see you can use buses or horse drawn carriages for getting to the castles, but was thinking that by the time one waits to be transported, it could likely be walked in that time (if one is able), and from what I have read, it is a nice walk - I remember reading about doing the longer trail up to Neuschwanstein Castle - that it is quite nice - I was thinking that they said it took a half hour to walk up, but in the castle info, they note that the walk up is 40 min. - however, I think there are two ways to walk - straight up the path, or the longer route through the woods - am assuming this is the 40 minute walk...
You are all a huge help! Danke sehr!!

<< Even with reserved tickets, we need to pick them up 1 hour prior to our booked time >> The 1 hr is for the Neuschwanstein tour. If you are taking the Hohenschwangau tour or both castle tour you need to pick up your tickets 1 half hour before your booked time.
<< then a 20-30 min. walk to get up to Schloss Hohenschwangau ......then another 40 min. walk up to Neuschwanstein Castle >> From the ticket booth Hohenschwangau is an easy 10-min climb...... and Neuschwanstein is a steep 30-min hike. If you want to minimize hiking to Neuschwanstein you can take a shuttle bus-$( leaves every few min just above the ticket office and to the left-did not run the day we were there due to rain the previous night) or a horse drawn carriage-$$ (just above the ticket office and to the right-impossibly long lines when we were there). Neither gets you you to the castle doorstep. The bus drops you off near Mary's Bridge (great view) leaving you a steep, 10 min downhill walk to the castle. Carriages are slower than walking and stop below the castle, leaving you a 5 min uphill hike.
Summary of your possible day
8:30 pick up tickets
9:00 tour Hohenschwangau
11:00 tour Neuschwanstein
12:00-13:00 Lunch Schloss Restaurant Hotel
13:30 Leave parking lot for drive to Wieskirche (near Steingaden )
14:00-14:30 tour Wieskirche
Continue drive
15:00 passing Ettal
15:50 passing Garmisch
16:15 arrive Mittenwald
Some options: Reserve a later castle tour and slip schedule or Reserve a later castle tour and skip lunch at Schloss Restaurant (have a bratwurst from a stand) and/or skip Weiskirche and/or skip Mittenwald.
<< tempting to switch for our last night in GP area >> This opens the door for many options, many are good. Before you select staying at the Schloss Restaurant Hotel I suggest reading the reviews on booking.com. We really enjoyed staying there, but that was 30 years ago.

"The affect on sales year over year, for Novell's first three quarters of our fiscal year, which ends Oct. 31 -- our Linux business was up 243 percent year over year," said Justin Steinman, director of marketing at Novell, who, along with executives from both companies, spoke at a program hosted by the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council.
And, that growth doesn't seem to be short-lived.
"We're continuing to see above market growth year [over] year and that clearly has resulted in the 243 percent Justin alluded to," said Susan Heystee, general manager, Global Strategic Alliance, at Novell.

If my first post is placed in the wrong forum location, please forgive.
I am looking for creative ideas to hang when convieniently placed trees are not available.
Such as...
Single limb hangs from one tree branch. This is my favorite. There lots of big live oaks around here, but it always seems the next oak is 50 meters away
Telephone poles to guy wire or other ??
Truck to Telephone pole or other ??
Truck to truck
Sign post to ??
Under bridge columns
Lots of camping or picnic areas have covered table areas. These structures can make nice hang locations
I can probably make just about anything work, but would like to see what members here have done.
Thanks, Medinacaver
man there's alot more to this equipment than my wool blanket with strings brazilian style hammock with skeeter net

Shopping is an art. Walking into a boutique, an online store or even a thrift shop and being able to pick from the many options, the right items that will not only fit awesomely, but completely transform the wearer into something divine is no mean feat. It is an art form and like all arts, there is a simple method to all of it. This post lists some of the minute tips and tricks any shopper can leverage on to get the most from a single shopping trip, online or offline.
Never shop alone
You know how it is always recommended for you to have a gym partner every time you lift some weights? Same thing applies for shopping. You should always go along with a friend (the store attendant does not count, he/she will likely say everything you wear fits awesomely) who understands the extent of your wallet and will help you make good choices. The trendier the friend, the better.
Try it on
We tend to overestimate what our eyes tell us a lot, especially when it comes to shopping. You do not have to pay to try it on, so do that if it catches your eye. You will be able to make a more awesome choice that way. If you can take it home to try on, do so. The lighting in most shops is certain to deceive you, if you are not experienced, and trying it on before your home mirror makes all the difference.
Window shop at the luxury store, then buy at the dollar store
If your wallet is likely to limit what you are buying, then this is a really awesome tip for you. First of all, go into one of those luxury boutiques and browse. You can see easily what styles are in vogue and what you need to look like. Then, you can head over to the thrift store around the corner and buy the same things for way less.
If you can afford it, go for complete outfits
On the mannequin the grey slacks and that cream blazer blend just perfectly, and you tried them on, and they fit. Don't blink, don't wait, if you can afford it, get the entire ensemble. You'll feel a lot better for it, and look awesome too.
Avoid clothes with too many embellishments
Clothes with too many frills, sequins, beadings, etc. on all the corners and in every stitch, generally look cheaper and worse than clothes with little or nothing, especially if you are actually buying them cheap. Except you are getting a pair from a designer label, avoid such. It is better to get a plain blouse that you can accessorize with some good jewelry than something that looks like a hand-me-down from your granny.
Buy special occasion outfits when you find them
There is nothing worse than shopping on a time constraint. You are more likely to make terrible fashion gaffes then. On the off chance you find an outfit that is perfect for a dinner, wedding, or even beach wear, get it, even if you have no such event on the calendar in the near future. The reason is simple, when the event comes, you would not have to rush to the stores, you have a perfect outfit waiting.

Hosting a group of buyers...
July 2016
Karma House Travel DMC was privileged to be able to host this Hosted Buyers Fam Trip to showcase what Jordan has to offer to the MICE Market, where a full incentive program with different special events were offered.
Below are the highlights of this trip:
- Upon Arrival they were greeted with a Glow-in-the-dark welcoming. Food and alcoholic drinks were passed around during key distribution, while a live,strolling Saxophone player played his amazing tunes in melody with the background music.
- A Walk through the local Markets in downtown Amman where the local Jordanians are. They passed through the herbs market, the vegetable market, and the fruit market finally ending at a local small shop where they enjoyed a juice made of freshly squeezed sugar cane, and first-hand experience in mixing with the friendly locals.
- A Visit of the Greco Roman City of Jerash, which is locatedat only a 45-minute drive north of Amman. With its Temples, huge Oval Plaza, Colonnaded streets and Roman Theatres, the city is truly one of a kind. At a surprise refreshment stop inside the site, two Roman Solders, dressed in full war gear, stopped the group and asked them to come in to a market place. Inside were waiters offering fresh pomegranate drinks while the group listed to a live violinist play his tunes and sipped on their refreshing drinks.
- A private seated dinner, catered by the Movenpick Resort Hotel in Petra and served in front of a Nabatean temple in Little Petra (12km south of the main site of Petra). Upon arrival, guests walked through a candle lit path leading them in to the midst of the darkness as they suspiciously listened to the sound of a flute, not knowing where it was coming from. Once the group was inside the site,the area was suddenly illuminated with amber lights shining on the historic monument as the flute player appeared dressed in a local white costume exiting the temple while passing through the guests as if they are not there. He disappeared in the darkness, fading away with the background music, while they sipped on their drinks. Guests were then invited to sit at the decorated tables for dinner at this magical location.
- The private lunch was a local dish called "Magluba", presented by the chefs of the Marriott hotel andserved at the pool terrace of the Marriott Petra Hotel, overlooking the mountains of Petra where the chefs gave a full display on how the dish was prepared till the minute it is served to the guests.
- 4x4 Tour of Wadi Rum, known to some as 'the moon like desert' because of its Mars-like appearance. Local Bedouins, with their open top Flatbed 4x4 pickup trucks, were ready to take the guests for a tour of the desert to enjoy its Nature.The silence at each stop during the tour embraces the Soul. And with a final stop at a location to bid farewell to thesinking sunset behind the Rocky Mountains, the guests were surprised by a live pianist. He played the tunes of the Film of Lawrence of Arabia on his Grand Piano while waiters offered the guests a glass of champagne.
- Private dinner was set on the desert with special set up of Bedouin tents, and a local dish of "zarb" was served (a traditional meal cooked underground and slowly simmered for hours).
- Farewell night we arranged for private chill-out dinner on comfortable couches at one of the nice terraces of the Jordan Valley Marriott hotel, overlooking the Dead Sea. In the distance one can see the glowing lights of Jerusalem. A DJ entertained the guests with various kinds of dance music with a slide show on a big screen showing all the highlights of the trip, a relaxed atmosphere for the guests to digest all the incredible experiences.

Would You Wear A $3 Million @VictoriasSecret Bra?
Hey Glamazons! It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, I'm not talking about Christmas, although that will soon be here before you know it. (Seriously, where has the time gone?!)
I'm talking about none other than the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show! Tons of beautiful models have descended upon Paris (aka the City Of Lights) to tape the show, which airs 12/5 at 10/9C on CBS.
Aside from the stellar entertainment, one of the top focal points of this year's show will be this $3 million bra worn by model Jasmine Tookes. It was designed exclusively for Victoria's Secret by jewelry designer Eddie Borgo and handcrafted with jewels by AWMouzannar. It contains over 9,000 precious gems and took over 700 hours to create. It weighs more than 450 carats.
While it's a no-brainer that I personally most definitely would wear this bra (DUH! lol) what do you think of it? Would you wear it, Glamazons?

Peter Mamara
At The Death Of A German - Poem by Peter Mamara
by M. Eminescu (1850-1889)
Let the bell cry fast with its copper sound.
Let the tower move its central-part.
Being closer to the stars, it says:
A good and noble soul heads to heaven.
Bell you, repeat the grief, and toll with your cry.
When his soul swiftly rise from star to star.
While we follow with a step slowed by hopelessness,
To bury the pale clay that breathes no more.
His eye? Its sight, how many sweet scenes did it see?
His head? Oh, how many thoughts was it filled with?
His heart? How much feeling has it stirred?
His soul? How much desire… how many dreams it has set aside?
And today has none. The world of thought is a shattered world.
His heart is now squizzed by the stilted hand of death.
And the scenes are blurred — the ones that once passed through it.
The soul (if it exists) , it makes its way through the clouds.
Have you known, dear brother, that the world is a ruin?
That to live is martyrdom? And life is a burden?
Have you known that death is chaos of light?
And the sky's stars wait for you at the end?
You don't care any more about the tough riddle of life.
Since you have reduced to zero its huge gap,
While to us, the life is still an unknown number.
And in vain we seek answer to the question we ask.
Sad visionary beings, we hit our heads to no avail,
To read from the-book-of-time signs we did not write.
We put together our line of thought in some way.
We gauge the world's blueprint with that breadth,
While the thoughts are phantoms and life is a dream.

Liverpool v Sevilla: Liverpool lose the Europa League final 3-1
Full-time: Liverpool 1 - Sevilla 3
Playmaker Philippe Coutinho admits it is time for Liverpool to stop "hitting the post" in big games and get the job done.
The Brazil international has experienced more than his fair share of disappointment during just over three years at Anfield, ranging from their Premier League title near-miss of 2014, League Cup and FA Cup semi-final exits in 2015 to the Capital One Cup final penalty shoot-out defeat in February.
But less than three months after that Wembley heartbreak against Manchester City, in which Coutinho scored a late equaliser to take it into extra-time, the Reds have another shot at silverware in the Europa League final against defending champions Sevilla tonight.
Liverpool's joint top scorer this season believes it is now time to take the final step and secure a first trophy in four years and a first in Europe since the dramatic Champions League victory in Istanbul in 2005.
"The expression we use in Brazil is 'We hit the post' on quite a few occasions recently so it will be really important for us to finally achieve something and win something with Liverpool," said the 23-year-old. "That will be special for everyone across the club and the whole of the squad."
Victory in Basel tonight would also secure a route back into the Champions League, Liverpool's only chance of European football next season after finishing eighth in the Premier League.
The Reds have featured in Europe's elite club competition just once in the last six seasons and while a return is significant to the club's status, Coutinho said it is a side issue to the main aim.
"Personally winning the trophy is most important" he added. "The positive consequence of winning the trophy is getting a Champions League spot but the squad are focused on the trophy.
"Jurgen Klopp is experienced in Europe. He is a great manager and has made a few changes since he came in, the biggest one being to change the mentality and making the players believe.
"Then step by step towards the end of the season Liverpool have improved performances and now are close to winning something.
"It has been six months and it is the second final we are playing in so it is a great opportunity. The changes he has implemented have had a big part in that."
Coutinho is the club's joint leading scorer this season with Daniel Sturridge on 12 goals, with eight of those coming against Manchester United, Manchester City (two separate occasions), Chelsea (twice), Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund and Everton. But he denies it is just him who takes the lead against the big clubs.
"It is not just my responsibility," he said. "Whoever plays up front will have that responsibility to score and help Liverpool win."
Coutinho's goal at Old Trafford in their Europa League quarter-final second leg was not only brilliant but perfectly-timed on the stroke of half-time.
Throughout the interval the away fans, who affectionately refer to the Brazilian as 'O Magico' (literally translated as The Magic), sang Coutinho's name.
"It is an honour - not only that but any time anyone says my name or I see a kid with my name on the back of his shirt," he added. "I've always dreamt of being a footballer and now it makes me feel humble."

The NHLs first offer in its negotiations with the NHLPA was seen by many as a shot across the unions bow. And with the league reportedly asking for a considerably larger split in hockey-related revenue from the players, the elimination of signing bonuses, as well as a salary rollback, predictions of a work stoppage are growing in number.
In fact, one source with knowledge of the players side of the negotiation is predicting not just a work stoppage, but an entire lost season.
RELATED: Should Sharks owners be allowed to profit?
Last time around, the NHL made its salary cap proposal and barely moved off it, the source, speaking under the condition of anonymity, told PHT. This is not an initial proposal. The league is shutting down and its come back when youre ready to accept.
This is exactly what happened last time. You heard it here first, we will not play next year.

Eghad, there are so many-does that help? Lupus is a disease of massive inflammation in which the immune system goes 'wacky.' There is often inflammation of the joints-sometimes not. But if there's not, there can be stiffness of those joints.
There can be headaches, fevers, symptoms are so varied. THe symptoms that you experience often depend on the body system affected by the lupus. I had NO symptoms at first, but lupus affected my lungs.
So, affecting your lungs, lupus can give you shortness or breath, fevers, chest pain.
If lupus affects your skin, you can experience sun-sensitivty; sometimes just having lupus gives you sun sensitivity.
Dry eyes, problems with memory.
But symptoms of lupus are different in everybody as are the treatments. If you have lupus, or think you have lupus, the kind of doctor to see, besides you primary care physician is a rheumatologist.

It's a disease that effects the immune sysem so weakness and tiredness are a most noticible system. Others include red marks on the skin that "just appear" and the person can usually feel them coming on. Also a red flush over the nose and under the eyes is an early sign. Hope this helps.

The scope of this general part is to standardise the required inputs, the outputs and the links (structure) of the calculation method in order to achieve a common European calculation method. A common calculation method will help to facilitate the free circulation of services (optimisation of the energy performance, display of conventional level of energy requirements) and products (software). Ventilation systems are not included in this standard (e.g. balanced systems with heat recovery), but if the air is preheated or an air heating system is installed, system losses of these systems are covered by this standard. The energy performance may be assessed either by values of the system efficiencies or by values of the system losses due to inefficiencies. The calculation method is based on an analysis of the following parts of a space heating and domestic hot water system: - the emission system energy performance including control; - the distribution system energy performance including control; - the storage system energy performance including control; - the generation system energy performance including control (e.g. boilers, solar panels, heat pumps, cogeneration units). The energy required for the heating system is calculated separately for thermal energy and electrical energy in order to determine the final energy, and subsequently the corresponding primary energy is calculated. Calculation factors for conversion of energy requirements to primary energy shall be decided on a national level. The specific calculation algorithms or tabulated input values for the calculations of each part of the space heating and domestic hot water system (i.e. emission system, distribution system, storage system and generation system) shall be specified in subsequent standards referring to this standard or in national annexes.

Today is National Women's Day and of course, the first thing I see in my news feed is this Huff Post article on Fit Mom, Maria Kang.
'Hot Facebook Mom' Still Wants To Know: 'What's Your Excuse?'
In the article, there is a picture showing off her body with various tags pointing to different parts of her body. The picture also links to her new website, No Excuse Mom
"What's Your Excuse?" –It's such an in-your-face question, isn't it? By its very nature, a little insulting and a blow to the ego. In my own experience, it has such a negative connotation that I couldn't possibly see anything positive about the question at all. Who would ever guess that three little words could be so powerful and cause such an uproar over the internet. Well, me and anyone who's ever seen a meme. That simple little question begs people to become defensive and thus the fighting begins.
Don't get me wrong. I admire Ms. Kang and her passion to make herself a better person as well as help others to achieve the same success. She is obviously a hard working mother who is very proud of what she has accomplished. Good for her. She's an empowered woman but after seeing the backlash that she has endured, it has occurred to me that perhaps she is asking the wrong question. Perhaps, we are all asking the wrong question.
We all have excuses.
I don't feel like doing the dishes so I'm going to let them soak in the sink. I'm too tired to walk the dog so instead, I'll sit in my lawn chair and play fetch instead. I'm cheating on my diet but a slice of cheesecake is just too good to pass up. I can't have lunch with you this week because my child suddenly came down with a cold. I have a headache so sorry honey, no sex tonight.
Honestly, I can never seem to see the good in an excuse and I'm willing to be that I'm not the only one. As far as I'm concerned, an excuse serves to hide something or make us feel a little better about not doing something. The only thing an excuse is good for is making us feel guilty and that's not really good at all, is it?
Who wants to live like that?
Us women are so hard on ourselves and each other. We can look in the mirror and point out 20 things within 20 seconds that are wrong in our own eyes and at the same time, we will shun a compliment and feel as though we don't deserve it. I know this because I read it every day on Facebook, I see it every day on TV and I live it every day. I am not alone but I am certainly not helping myself, either.
But…ya know what? It has to stop.
We are asking the wrong question! We need to empower ourselves and each other. We need to stop asking what the excuses are and instead ask this:
If you think about it, Maria is listing what defines her. She is a mother, a fitness enthusiast, a working woman and mentor. It's what makes her Maria Kang. It is what defines her as a human.
We could list a thousand excuses for not being like Ms. Kang. Hell, I could do it with my eyes closed and both hands tied behind my back. The point is, we are not all so gung ho for life and sometimes, life and its challenges get the better of us. Sometimes, life just knocks the damn stuffing out of us, puts us in a headlock and refuses to let go until we tap out, give up, give in and cry, "UNCLE"!
Y'all have been there at least once. Right?
Everyone's circumstances are different. We have to stop comparing ourselves to others who have accomplished more in their lives or who seem to have it all and then some. (sorry if that sounds a little passive-aggressive LOL) We have to learn to accept our circumstances for what they are before we can make changes. We have to learn to accept our bodies as they are before we can make changes. Excuses only serve to make us feel guilty and then help us to push those feelings down into the deep abyss only to come back up in the form of self-loathing and junk food binges.
Define yourself by your own circumstances and your own choices. Don't let someone else ask the negative question. Ask instead what defines you. Are you a wife, a mother, a sister, an aunt, a teacher, a mentor, a role model, a nurturer, a friend…Feel free to add to the list.
Jacob noticed that I was losing weight and he literally panicked and told me that he didn't want me to lose any more so I asked him why. He said, "Because you won't be soft and squishy anymore when I hug you."
I looked at him and said, "Honey, when I lose more weight, I'll be able to hug you even tighter because my belly fat won't be in the way." He was good with that.
So how does this fall into "What defines you?" The answer is that my son loves me for who I am right now and by looking through his eyes, I am able to define myself as a mother and nurturer. Defining myself as such allows me to see past an excuse to use his fear to stay fat.
Ask the right question! What defines you? What makes you the person you are and why are you worth doing something for yourself? Throw excuses out the window. In fact, throw that word out of your vocabulary. Find out what makes you, you. Then, by all means make the changes that you see fit but do it because you have already accepted who and what you are. You have just decided to make yourself better.
So getting back to National Women's Day.
Empower other women to ask the right question. Empower them to empower others. Lift each other up instead of tearing each other down. We have come too far as half of the human race, only to drown in negativity. Learn to love who you are and then show other women what you have accomplished. Teach your daughters the same so they don't have to grow up in a sea of negativity.
Empower yourselves. Define yourselves!
Then kick some ass!
