Letter(s) from Elmira to Jonathan (USA)
Letter 1
Hello dear ! How are you? First of all I would like to express my thankfullness for your letter giving us both a chance to get to know eachother. I hope that this day was really wonderful and brought you only positive and joyful emotions. Dear , it is a great honor for me to have the opportunity to meet you and get to know you closer. It would be silly to project for the future, but I hope that our acquaintance will get wonderful continuation and will be really interesting for us both. I often use Internet, searching for new information for my work and just recently, searching for something I discovered the online dating service and decided to test my destiny.
I hope that kind angels in heavens will definitely help me to meet a man, the one I will gift all my tenderness and love of my heart.
Dear , I am romantic woman with the sensitive heart, I am overwhelmed with the thirst of true love and family happiness with the man I will love, I can ponder on this topic for hours, but I think that at present you are more curious in down to earth and specific things. Ok, I will try to tell a little about myself. On the 12 th of marsh 1980 with my loud scream I let the world know of my arrival to this world. Obviously I do not remember the moment at all, this my mother told me about. I was born and grew up in a little town Volzsk, in a very intelligent and respectable family. As I was the only child, my parents gave me all their attention, love and care. I am very grateful to my parents for a good upbringing and education. With their help, from a little, innocent and defenceless child I turned into joyful for life, kind and purposeful woman. After graduating from the pedagogical institute and got the diploma of speciality "Psychologist", I was sent to the government assignment to the other town, where I live at presence. I live and work in Yoshkar-Ola. This is a very beautiful and cosy town 862 km north-east from Moscow, with the population of around 270.000 people.
We do not have big factories, concerns or any other production here and it provides the magnificent ecology. The nature her - is truly beautiful. We have a lot of crystal clear lakes, rivers and many kilometers of forests, vast majority of animals and plants. I work as tutor nowadays in a nursary house. I like my job very much, as most of the time I spend among children, at joyful atmosphere, sincerity and pure child happiness. Communication and work with children give me a lot of positive emotions and I always in a hurry for work to school, to share my knowledge and experience with them. Dear , without any regrets I look back and if I had a chance to change something in my life, I would not do anything to change, because I am fully satisfied in everything I had. I sincerely thankful to God for everything I have in my life and for that his good angels protect me from all the evil and bad in this world. Dear , the meaning of happiness is very relative, but I know what I am missing, to become the happiest woman in the world. In my prayers I ask only one thing...I ask the skys for love, for the possibility to love and be loved, for the possibility to create strong and happy family. I know that somewhere in this world, there is a man with a kind and sincere heart, that is waiting to meet me. I know that we will surely find each other, because love is an almighty power in the universe and nothing can stop people, that have in their heart this wonderful feeling! Dear , I am afraid to inconvenience you of border you with reading so big letters, that is why I will cut down to the above said and wish you happiness and success in your life.
I sincerely hope that our acquaintance have a chance for a happy continuation.
With all the warmth of my heart,
Elmira from Russia
Letter 2
Dear Jack, thank you very much for your reply. It is a very interesting start for our introduction! It is really interesting for me to read what other people think. Everybody is different and everyone has their own opinions and life positions. New encounters are always exciting, and this one is even more exciting, because you live in a different country. I always was fascinated how people live in other countries, what feelings and thoughts do they have in their soul! Dear Jack, if I find my love, if I meet a person I will love with all my soul and heart, if I meet a person that will love me sincerely and honestly, I will follow him, my love any place on our planet.
I think, when people have priceless angels gift in their soul - love, they stop limiting their sense only physical shell. Feelings and emotions come first. When a man have love in his soul, his physical and spiritual self become harmonical and balanced. I think that precisely the kind of condition men call happiness. Dear Jack, the real happiness is to have love in your soul and heart. If there will be a man, that will make me happy, fill me with happiness, my heart will always be his, my love will be a reward to him. And if my man will want me to leave Russia and move over to his country, to continue living together, I will not hesitate a second, I will fly over to him on the wings of love. Our life is so short, we should hurry to rejoice life and enjoy our happiness and our love. Ok, I will try to tell you more about myself. I am very opened and energetic person. Yes, I can say that I am intellectually curious and always tend to fulfill my knowledge. I like reading and the amount of books been read by me already passed the thousand line. I am always interested in new ideas.
I enjoy intellectual conversations. I am fond of world economy and politics, science and education! Yes, I am very energetic and communicative, but I am not a materialist! Deep down, I am very romantic! What is inside and family values are the things that more important for me. I am a woman with a great and loving heart. I need my own family happy and loving. I need a man, that can see my soul, the treasury of sincere love and passion! I love classical music! I think that is the most amazing and romantic genre. When I listen to Beethoven, Bach, Chaikovsky, Mozart, Chopin or Rochmaninov, there is a wonderful garden blossoms inside of me, my soul frolics and sings.
I think that is the love music and only two people should listen to it together!!! Man and woman should enjoy this wonderful music, love and endearments! Dear Jack, I am always full of life curiosity, because life is interesting and fascinating. To enjoy life in a whole sense, I am living a healthy life and trying to be in a perfect shape. When I studied in the institute, I went into athletics and swimming. And even now when I have spare moment, I put on my sports uniform and go to the nearest park, to enjoy jogging. And more to say, as every woman I like to dance very much! I think that the real dance - is a little story about onself, about one's feelings and emotions. The dance doesn't exist without the emanations of love, the aroma that makes you drunk spreading around people dancing. Where else you can so passionately and brightly, without words, show your real self, your understanding of life, tell the story of your life... I am crazy of the latin-american dances, because they are very incendiary, bright and sexy. Dear Jack, do you like to dance? What dances attracts you most of all? Well, I think that my letter, will make your impression of me more complete. I sincerely glad our acquaintance and with great anticipation I await your next letter with your photos.
With best wishes,Elmira
Letter 3
Hello Jake! I have just got back home and decided to check my mailbox, with a hope to get a letter from you. You know, your letter are starting to add a lot of positive emotions to me. Our acquaintance is like a fresh sea breeze, in a hot desert. Dear Jake, I think that we should learn each other better, to have opportunity to be sure that our meeting is really necessary for both of us! And only after that speak about our meeting. Do you agree with me? Dear Jake, you are the only person I can speak about anything, beside work. Yes, it is exactly like that, I don't have anybody I can share my feelings, love, music and lyrics, nature and traveling, about cinema, theatre and all the routine things, that all normal people have in their lives. There is a saying: "People don't value happiness, because it costs nothing!". In recent years, I didn't have happiness, conversations and love in my life. And now I know the real value of happiness. And I really appreciate our acquaintance and our correspondence. You seem very attractive to me and I hope, that our relationships will grow!
I am all alone in my apartment right now, only romantic music and thoughts about you, lights my fire. How lonely it is without a man in my house, a man that will hug and kiss me when I come home. How I miss the noise and a joyful laugh of a child... I miss breakfasts and dinners together, just the two of us! Dear Jake, you should know, that I am a good cook and can make amazing meals. Shrims soup, spaghetti with salmon sauce, a bottle of good french wine and just two of us together! I think that a dinner like this will be a great interlude for a passionate and wild night! You can not even imagine how I would love to get to sleep being embraced by a man I love, to wake up from him caressing and kissing me... Yes, I would like to find not just a man, but a real love with an ocean of feelings, joy, happiness and positive emotions!!! Now I will take a shower, order a pizza and will watch some love story alone :). Dear Jake, how do you spend your normal evening? How do you relax after work?
Take care, Elmira
Letter 4
Dear Jack, I had really a great day today. I was enjoying good weather, good mood and smiles on people's faces! When I studied at university, me and my friends spent a lot of time in the park, near University. Those were really happy days of my life! We had a lot of fun and laughs, were going on camping and discos, ate millions of cakes at the university cafe and tons of ice cream in the park. Today I passed by the central park of our town and decided to walk in. This park was very much alike the one in my student years. Even the benches at this park were exactly the same, as we had near our university.
I was remembering, when we were sitting on that bench, singing guitar songs, laughed a lot and dreamed about true love! I remembered what I was dreaming of back then and started to laugh out loud. Even the people walking by turned their heads on me :) Dear Jack, most of what I dreamed of came true, and I have that in my life. Now I only have one dream... A dream about true love! Dear Jack, before I met you I started to loose my faith in love, and I wasn't sure that there is something out there for me. Our encounter returned my faith in love. Now I feel love is more real and truthful, than I ever thought before... I want to thank you for the hope that you give for my heart!
I hope, that our correspondence will last as an enchanting, long story. I hope that we can see our souls, feel the need and warmth of our hearts. I really want to meet you in person, look in your eyes, enjoy romantic and intellectual conversation with you! Hopefully in future you will have plans to visit me here? But I think that we have to know each other well, understand and feel each other, to build any kind of plans. Dear Jack, how was your day? Perhaps you had something special today? How is your family?
A lot of kisses,Elmira

HEFCE commissioned CHERI to undertake further analyses of the survey results from the international study of the Changing Academic Profession (CAP) to supplement our HE Workforce Framework.
The core of the CAP study is a survey of academics in over 20 countries on aspects of change in the profession, including teaching and research activities, internationalisation, the management of higher education institutions and the attractiveness of an academic career. The UK part of the CAP study has been undertaken by the Centre for Higher Education Research and Information (CHERI).
The CAP survey results are also compared with a similar survey of academics in 1992.
Three themes are addressed in the reports that are most relevant to the HE Workforce Framework: the internationalisation of the profession and academic work; international comparisons between UK respondents and academics from other countries participating in the study on aspects of academic work; and career trajectories.
This report is one of five that supplement the HE Workforce Framework (see 'The higher education workforce framework 2010: Overview report' (HEFCE 2010/05) and 'The higher education workforce framework 2010: Main report' (HEFCE 2010/05a)). All five can be accessed via our HE Workforce Framework web-pages which also contain more information about the project.

text: My cards meet the minimum / maximum size. They fall somewhere in between. Anything else to consider? I'm applying stamps myself. I'm not sure this qualifies as presorted or bulk mail. I just hoping something doesn't come up. I already had to redesign my cards because of the size. I'm using address labels to make things go a little quicker. A lot faster than writing the addresses by hand. I hope that doesn't turn into a problem with the placement of the label.

Tony Dobrowolski | Out Of The Pages: It's okay to feel lost
PITTSFIELD — Every time I hear about how alienated millennials say they feel from the current political process, I think of this famous quote from author Gertrude Stein.
"You are all a lost generation," Stein apparently said to Ernest Hemingway, who used the quote as an epigraph in his novel, "The Sun Also Rises,", which was published in 1926.
That was 90 years ago. Stein was referring to the generation that came of age during World War I, or the Great War as it was called then, a conflict that dramatically and swiftly changed the accepted forms of society that had gone before it.
Here's how Dictionary.com defines the values of those who made up the "Lost Generation": As a result of their new experiences and the social upheaval that they had witnessed, members of this generation were seen as "cynical", "disillusioned" and without "cultural or emotional stability."
I've seen similar words used to express those who make up the millennial generation. So if millennials feel lost and not listened to during the current political campaign, they should know that they're not the first generation that's ever felt that way.
Feeling alienated from those older than you are isn't unique, it's a part of life. Younger people always grow up under a different set of standards then their elders did. Baby boomers parents thought Beatlemania was some kind of subversive teenage plot; the parents of those who grew up in the 1940s turned up their noses at swing music.
Politically, one could argue that the situation is different this time. We've had former actors run for president (Ronald Reagan), but never a reality TV star (Donald Trump). Even though the circumstances are different, the generational conflict is still the same, as Stein so eloquently pointed out almost a century ago. To me, alienation, cynicism and disillusionment aren't reasons to not participate in the political process this year. Looked at historically, it's more of a cop out.
Here's another example. I was watching a documentary on politics recently when an ad for Richard Nixon's 1972 presidential campaign against George McGovern came up on the screen. I forget the exact wording, but the ad said something like Vote for Nixon because we need him now more than ever.
Taken in the context of the times, I viewed this ad as a plea to the "silent majority", as the establishment was often referred to then, against the younger riff-raff, the kids who grew up with Beatlemania, who were too cynical to be trusted. They made up the baby boomer generation, which is what today's establishment consists of now.
There's a photo of Bill and Hillary Clinton taken when they were students at Yale Law School in the early 1970s that also reminds me of that time. Bill Clinton looks exactly like the shaggy haired draft dodger that the establishment feared then. Hillary has long hair and glasses.
Think they felt alienated? These were the kind of people that Nixon's campaign ad warned us about. The establishment was doing everything in their power to keep them out of the mainstream.
Fast forward 40 something years and Bill and Hillary are the establishment. Rather than keep the riff-raff out as Nixon's generation tried to do, the Clinton's generation is trying to bring them into the mainstream. Trump, a member of the same generation as the Clintons, has also received a great deal of support from millennials.
Things have a way of changing when you're older. It's a fact of life. So if you're a millennial, don't feel the political process doesn't speak for you. It does, it can and it will. You're not the only generation to feel lost. Gertrude Stein could tell you that.

U Street Music Hall
1115 U Street NW
Washington, DC, 20009
This event is 18 and over
Jessica Phillippe is diehard, born with true grit and skills to pay the bills. Despite her success with the Dirtybird gang, she's still out there in record stores on the regular... digging, uncovering precious gems and weaving them into her dynamic sets with panache. She's a hard-working, dedicated lady who refuses to compromise and aims to rock the dancefloor without relying on the most obvious tracks. Production-wise she's just as fearsome, lacing her tracks with a tough yet bouncy flavour. Her prowess in both disciplines combined with her infectious sense of fun and mind-boggling depth of knowledge make her one of the most revered DJs on the global circuit today.
Ever since the purchase of a cheap set of belt-drive decks and a mixer on her 19th birthday she really hasn't looked back and, after completing her studies in Engineering, the straight-A student jumped head !rst into her true passion, music. She won a DJ competition in 2005, toured the USA and moved from her hometown, Champaign, Illinois, to the birthplace of
house music, Chicago. In the Windy City she endured the struggle that many musicians go through on their pathway to glory but never lost sight of her dream. A move to San Francisco resulted in more hard times, but it wasn't long before her determination and natural talent won through.
Phlip's refusal to give up eventually led her to connect with the dirtybird crew and make some real progress. Club and festival tours are now a regular occurrence while releases on Claude VonStroke's highly respected imprint, and elsewhere too, have established her as a reputable source of dance floor killers. People from Skream and Tiga to techno dons Surgeon and Dave Clarke and a bunch of other influential heads threw their weight behind her first truly analogue workout, 'Coefficient', while her latest tech-heavy banger 'Say My Name', which is has been doing immense damage to clubs all over the world, has peaked the interest of Eats Everything, Danny Daze and Huxley on the !oor, and taking to the airwaves courtesy of B.Traits, Monki and 1 Xtra's MistaJam. All that hard work has put her up there with the industry's female elite; Nina Kraviz, Heidi, Maya...
Go hear J.Phlip in action and you can expect to experience a full booty workout and have your mind blown. You'll be surprised, energised and occasionally weirded out. She is is a lady who knows her stuff, yet continues to refine her craft. Her aim is dance floor lobotomy, all the while taking the greatest pleasure in seeing the people get loose. A DJ not afraid to put her vision out there, Jess is to thank for passing Eats Everything's mighty "Entrance Song" to Voitek and Greg (Catz n Dogz) at Pets and the later introduction to Barclay (Claude VonStroke) and Dirtybird.
She's embarked on several tours of Europe and the US, attracting an evergrowing fanbase with each electrifying performance. Spending 3 years living and DJing in Berlin has helped Phlip to gain an understanding of the European market – she was only supposed to be there for 5 months, but ya know, there's some kind of time warp in Berlin that does that to people.
2014 already involves more action than a James Bond movie with another tour of Europe in full swing, dates all over the United States including three residencies: Detroit, Miami and San Francisco – plus there's plenty more production work in the pipeline. Hold tight for yet more analogue awesomeness.
Don't take our word for it, go check her out yourselves... and be prepared to lose your shit. That's what's up.
In terms of influence, Dansman began his electronic musical journey with the likes of DJ Tiesto (the "Magik" mix series) then moved on to such luminaries as the Chemical Brothers, before settling onto the bleeding edge of underground house and techno. Now, Dansman takes as much joy from listening to Top 40 Rap/R&B as he does listening to unreleased white-labels fresh from Bucharest, making him uniquely qualified to know what people want before they know themselves.
A rising comet in the DC scene, Dansman has honed his skills for over six years, playing sold-out shows in shotgun bars for tens of people. His popular #BODYFEEL party series, founded with cohort and longtime platonic lover, Throe, blends an urban aesthetic with airy techno and has featured such artists as Bambounou, Girl Unit, Peverlist and Kowton, and the White Material crew. With a monthly residency at DC's hottest underground club, Flash, Dansman improves his profile with every record played.

Prince William sits on throne at royal bash to celebrate 800th anniversary of Magna Carta
PRINCE WILLIAM gave Brits a glimpse of the future as he sat on a special throne.
It came at a party to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta.
The future King looked the part as he joined the Queen and David Cameron to mark the occasion.
The Duke of Edinburgh, 94, and Princess Anne, 64, also joined in.
Fans had already mobbed Wills, 32, as they grappled to get snaps.
He then unveiled a new piece of art to commemorate the milestone called The Jurors.
It was inspired by the 39th clause of Magna Carta, which gives the right to a jury trial.
It involves 12 bronze chairs, one of which made Wills look like a king.
The ceremony was in Runnymede, Surrey, where the original document was signed.
Yesterday also saw the launch of the UK's first Beer Day Britain, with supermarkets reporting soaring sales of ales.

It would happen sooner or later. Someone suggested that Amazon ebooks are not really forthcoming with every ones sale of their books. Me being one of its' published author am concerned by this allegation. Know/heard anything?Reply
I have a few reasons why I'd be fairly comfortable saying it's an allegation and nothing more, but this is just opinion — I have no proof of this.
1: The IRS has a very close eye on Amazon. False reporting of sales would cause them (and their writers) a tax issue that a company of Amazon's size can't afford to have.
2: While writers have no proof either way of accurate reporting, Amazon's system does have lag in updates, from what I understand. Sales believed missing may not show for another few hours. With a system Amazon's size, database lag and compile times for report may vary.
3: It would be extremely stupid for them to do this. Their reputation has been built on being clear on royalty numbers to authors.
To me, it sounds like someone thinks they should have more sales than he or she actually does.
That said, there may be slight discrepancies due to computing errors — stuff like that does happen. Infrequent, but it isn't an impossibility.
That said, there are reasons that Amazon can cut sales and return funds to buyers. Copyright infringement is one. There was a recent case where people were refunded and sales revoked because it was discovered that the entirety of a song's lyrics was lifted and used in the book. (While I disagree with the exact method Amazon used to address this, I do not disagree that what the author did was illegal.)
Once again, this is just my opinion and speculation.Reply
What about "NORTON",What can you tell me about them. I came to know them minimumly as unfarir. They helped themselves to $89.00 as fee by using my previous chg acct no. I complained to my bank and got my 89.00 back.
But then I always get their adv. on my screen w/ an icon of a punk .
Now, my Word doc. files that I used to submit to Amazon ebook (sucessfully)is no longer available to me. I get a window that says: "changed or moved. I did no such thing on my own. Is "Norton" capable of such deception? Thanks for listening pjr.
Unfortunately, I have no idea — if you're talking about the computer software anti-virus, I use a different program and make notable efforts to keep Norton's off any of my computers. I use a different anti-virus. Sorry I can't help you with that sort of problem. 🙁Reply

Dallas DT Jay Ratliff suspected of drunken driving
GRAPEVINE, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Jay Ratliff is free on bond after his arrest Tuesday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
The 31-year-old nose tackle was arrested shortly after midnight after his pickup truck sideswiped a semitrailer truck on Texas 114 in eastern Grapevine, 20 miles northwest of Dallas.
No one was injured, but Ratliff failed a field sobriety test and was taken to city jail, said Grapevine police Officer Sam Shemwell. Ratliff declined a breath test, but police obtained a blood sample for testing, Shemwell said.
Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple declined comment.
The case will go to the Tarrant County district attorney's office in Fort Worth, Shemwell said. If convicted, Ratliff could get up to six months in jail.
Ratliff was limited to six games this season with ankle and groin injuries.
The arrest came less than a month after fellow Cowboys nose tackle Josh Brent was indicted on an intoxicated manslaughter count in the Dec. 8 crash that killed his friend and Cowboys practice squad member Jerry Brown. He remains free on $100,000 bond.
Police in the Dallas suburb of Irving say Brent was speeding when his vehicle struck a curb and flipped. Brown was pronounced dead at an area hospital.
Intoxication manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, but Brent could be eligible for probation if convicted.

HR Nicholls Society Conference Report
The highlight of the Brisbane conference of the HR Nicholls Society last Saturday was the dinner address by Queensland Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Jarrod Bleijie, followed by his proficient answering of questions for a considerable period, and the response by leading barrister Stuart Wood. While Bleijie spoke about various major problems which the Newman government has faced since acquiring office in 2012 (including the large net government sector debt left by Labor), he also outlined the government's actions to reduce disruptive activities on businesses by unions and bikie gangs. This includes legislation (just operative) designed to prevent the fabrication of non-existent safety issues used to extort employers. It removes the right of immediate entry by unions to work sites and the power of unions to direct workers to stop working because of an alleged unsafe situation.Most importantly, both Bleijie and Wood emphasised the need for a State to maintain law and order. In my question to Bleijie I suggested that, given the reluctance of the Abbott government to initiate proposals for major workplace relations reform, the States might be able to help by adopting policies specifically designed to protect property rights.
The need for law and order to be applied was also emphasised by former Royal Commissioner in NSW, Roger Gyles, who reported to the Greiner government in 1992. That government established a body to ensure the law was applied in the NSW building industry. Of particular importance was the direct involvement of police in the operation of that body (police forces are generally reluctant to prevent disruptive action by unions). The Greiner body, however, succeeded in moving NSW building costs down below those in other states – until, that is, Carr became Premier and dissolved the body. Read more →

Hi all ! My CT was NED :)))) but my CEA keeps on going uo since I was dx in Jan. It started at 1.4 then 2 now is 3...Nurse said that is common because the chemo irritates the colon and that could make the CEA goes up...Do I worry too much ???? I was a heavy smoker before all this started.Someone please cheer me up !!!!
May 18, 2005 - 8:21 pm
My impression is that CEA while on chemo will not be stable and, in any case, 3 is quite acceptable. I think you have to wait until some time after chemo is finished before you will get the right CEA levels. They say for smokers even 5 is OK
May 18, 2005 - 8:26 pm
My CEA climbed during chemo (folfox) and peaked 3 months after treatments at 3.8. My last test came back at 2.5 which was 6 weeks after the 3.8. Chemo is hard on us and everyone is different. If your ONC gets concerned, then worry, otherwise ride the wave. If you research CEA counts (I did because I was worried) you will probably determine that 10 is too high and that doctors look for a rising trend that is heading close to that number. When my CEA was at 3.8 the scans showed spots on my liver and liver counts outside of normal and a new mass near the original site. My Mayo doctor was not concerned but I was scared but as it turns out everything was benign and things are looking good. It's normal to sweat the details but don't panic and get used to going through this every few months. Good luck to you!
May 18, 2005 - 9:23 pm
Can you ask the nurse for the "within normal" ranges for CEA from their lab? My understanding is that the ranges can vary lab to lab, and the the within-normal range is higher for smokers. I am no expert in this, but '3' does not sound very high to me....
May 20, 2005 - 6:20 am
Ok....I admit it ..I smoke!!.tsk!tsk! I am just over 12 months NED and my levels have risen from around 2 to 4 in the last 3 months. My doc. says that is reasonably normal as after finishing chemo the body takes time to stabilise. She also said that as I am a smoker around 4 is considered pretty normal. She just does not want the levels now to keep going up. In my situation she said that 7 or over would be cause for further investigation. Having said that, she also remarked that CEA levels differ in many patients that are still NED with the same cancer. Each individual is different due to lots of factors; weight, general health, smoker/non-smoker, male/female, or still on chemo.
May 23, 2005 - 9:40 pm
Hi, alta -
Do you still smoke? That will send your CEA up. Watch the CEA. It's a good indicator if something is going on, but it's also a common source of false positives and false negatives (my CEA was 0.5 when the cancer was raging!)
Bottom line; use the CEA as one of many tools - don't hang yor hat on it.

Airtrain from Zurich to Basel info needed
Any advice/info appreciated on the process of getting from Zurich Aurport to Basel via the Airtrain. Time frame? I have limited mobility issues. Wonder if there would be assistance available from the airline/airport staff to get me from the arrivals to the train departure area. I understand there are direct trains, just not as frequent as those requiring a change.
Report Abuse
For handicap services such as you describe, best to go through the airline you have chosen to land in Europe. Alert everyone from ticket purchase to check-in and gate attendant. Remind the flight attendant to have someone waiting when you land to assist with transfer to the trains. (This is simply across a covered outdoor passage, then downstairs.)
Train schedules can be found at sbb.ch/en (or if not exact, you should be directed). This is in English.
Put in Zurich Flughafen (airport) as your origin.
Will you be able to transfer-walk and climb steps or an incline at the train station?
Perhaps someone can advise re: assistance THERE.
Report Abuse
In the mornings, there is a direct train from the airport to Basel at :43 and :56 (43 and 56 minutes after the hour).
Otherwise, there are 2-3 trains per hour which require you to change in Zurich HB (main station, in the city).That can be a hassle as there are many tracks.
Report Abuse
I assume Switzerland also has assistance for the mobility challenged for the trains, too, as Spain does ( my only direct experience). You may need to advise in advance.
Report Abuse
Mokka4 and lincasanova:
Thank you so much for your very helpful replies. I can walk short distances and inclines are a great convenience, not so hard on my wonky knees as stairs. I'll be sure and let the airline know and ask for help to get to the train area once I deplane.
Relieved to know there are frequent direct trains to Basel from the airport.
Thank goodness for Fodorites!
Report Abuse
Hi travelchat,
In addition to notifying your airline, you can and should notify the Swiss rail service folks (SBB). Yes, they do have a service to help mobility challenged passengers -- here is the link:
Since you can walk a bit, you may not need them, but it might just be worthwhile having their help just in case. It looks like you just call them in advance (I'd email from home) and let them know when you think you'll be at the station. At the very least, they'll be there to help you with your luggage.
Have fun as you plan!
Report Abuse
sometimes the distances are more than you HOPE.. like at Madrid airport ..
Report Abuse
It looks like the :43 and :56 timing of direct trains persists into the afternoons, except for some odd reason, NO 11:43 a.m. direct train.
You also know that Basel has TWO
train stations, SBB main and ? Bad. Be sure you know at which to disembark!
Report Abuse
Basel SBB is the main station in Switzerland - I think Basel Bad is on the German side of the Rhine
but no doubt you want Basel SBB-doubt if there are direct trains Zurich Airport to Basel-Bad Bahnhof.
No need to buy train tickets in advance - just buy at Zurich Airport train station and consider going first class where there are typically fewer people and more empty seats - easier to move around and stow luggage - no need to reserve in either class - the train probably starts at the airport so you will have the choice of seats when boarding (not sure it originates there but in first class you are almost always guaranteed a choice of many empty seats.
Check www.sbb.ch for fares and confirm schedules others above have kindly looked up- for general info on Swiss trains also check www.budgeteuropetravel.com and www.ricksteves.com.
Is that your only train trip in Switzerland - if not what are you other plans - a Swiss Pass of some type could be a good deal if traveling around Switzerland though it seems this is not the case with you.

Curious as to what you mean by the Airtrain? TMK there are no special Airtrains just regular trains from the airport to many places. Or is it something new?

Thank you! I have made note of your very helpful info. I love the planning almost as much as the trip, true of most serial traveler's, I'm sure. It's the anticipation that keeps me going between journeys - this time it's a Tauck river cruise Basel to Amsterdam.
Duly noted! Thanks again.
The unknown distances in airports both domestic and international, make wheelchair assistance in my case a no brainier so as to prevent wonky knees giving out at the beginning of travel. I learned my lesson the hard way connecting through Heathrow a few years ago. That transfer from Terminal 5 to Terminal 1 caused major hobbling for two weeks through a five country tour.
While researching literature for the river cruise I'm planning I saw the term "Airtrain" used in connection with travel from the Zurich Airport to Basel, can't remember exactly where at this point. Thanks for your input - appreciate it very much.

OK - just don't look for any Airtrain but regular trains serving the airport to Basel- maybe a term for all trains from the airport?
anyways have a nice time!

Hi Travlechat, I am doing the opposite direction of the Tauck cruise next Summer. I think the term Air/train by Tauck meant that they will get you to your airport or Train or wherever you get on the ship, ask your travel agent to be sure. That is how I interpreted it. I am bringing a son along which will be a big help with luggage. Tauck is a great cruise, did London/Paris/Normandy area with them in the past.

You KNOW this is a Tauck tour and not a Viking River Cruise, Sue81??????

Dukey, Yes I do know that it is a Tauck Tour, but since it leaves from Basel, I think it is on the river. Sue

Dukey - do you KNOW that Tauck Tours have river tours? (I guess unless Sue81 is really taking a Viking River Cruise and don't know it?)
Report Abuse
Thanks for your response. I believe you are absolutely right about the Tauck Air/train reference. In my research I did discover there is train service direct from the Zurich Airport to Basel.
However, from Fodorites most helpful input plus just simple practicality, I am coming around/resigned to a necessary plane connection in Zurich for arrival in Basel as the best scenario.
This would be my third Tauck adventure.The first was a Paris/Provence city/river cruise combo. The second a ground tour Week in Spain, not for the feint of heart, involving coach, train and an inter country flight. Both tours were the top of the line in terms of content, amenities, 5 star hotels and Tauck tour guides.
I have compared several other similar river cruise itineraries and this 13 day Basel/Amsterdam jaunt looks to cover most of what I have in mind to see. I am very much looking forward to it.
How lovely that your son is accompanying you on your cruise with the added bonus of helping with luggage schlepping. Enjoy and please write a TR so we know how it all went.
Thanks, PalenQ!

Hi Palen Q, Yes I know what tours I have been on and this is a Tauck tour, the river is somewhere near Basel..not sure how close but it is a river tour/Rhine and Moselle I think. My drop off is in Basel, probably by van/bus etc. I've been on Viking tours/Russia/Xmas markets, but I agree with travelchat above that Tauck is extra special. Have a great trip Travelchat. this is my second Tauck tour, first was London/chunnel to France/Normandy and river to Paris.Sue

I was surprised too - had some time to kill before a night train and strolled downtown - to the Rhine and was surprised at how nice - really neat it was.
Would have never thought of visiting Basel before. To me one of the nicest cities in Switzerland.
Report Abuse
Well, I'm all set for my next Tauck adventure - 13 day River cruise Basel to Amsterdam early July. I had wanted the April 2017 departure but when I called a few days ago after having had to wait for medical clearance I learned the few single cabins had been reserved. So, for a few hundred dollars more I'm going in early July.
Flights will be Chicago/Zurich/Basel on the way there, with the return direct Amsterdam/Chicago. So, no train will be necessary after all.
I plan to go in two days prior, first night I pay for the hotel, the night before embarkation Tauck picks up the tab as their "Gift of Time" for returning travelers, a nice perk to be sure.
My free day I plan to hop on the train to Lucerne for a walking/day tour, and maybe a Lake Lucerne jaunt if I can fit both in, stamina and time wise. Tauck offers a walking tour of Basel in the itinerary so I'll get to see that as well. Happily this will allow me to squeeze in and enjoy a little train trip after all.
Thanks everyone for your much valued input. . Roll on July!

Hi Travelchat, we are going the exact Tauck tour but the opposite way starting in Amsterdam and going early to Amsterdam and staying a week later in Switzerland. Should be a very nice trip. Did you know that there are a few, maybe 4 or 5 single rooms on the lower level of the ship that there is NO single supplement? Save a lot of $. My son and I both have single rooms, and they are pretty nice as I had one before. Sue
PalenQ...we leave our river cruise in Basel and pick up the Swiss train to Zurich. I wonder if there is some way to get something like a one hour tour of the city of Basel? I guess I need to check on the Internet.
Report Abuse
One hour seems too short for any tour except private guide but I'd just amble around-if walking to station it's about a 20-minute walk from Basel Centrum.
Report Abuse
Palen, Actually, we will have some large suitcases, so can't amble. I just thought a quick little car tour might be nice as we have to get the train to Zurich and want to get to Zurich pretty quickly to have some time there that day too. Cruise line will drop us at bahnhof. Sue (I meant a private guide/car/tour).
Report Abuse
To clarify - I will have a single cabin on the lower level of the ship in July. That is why I'm taking the later cruise as opposed to April when those cabins proved to be fully booked. The first Tauck River cruise I went on - Paris/Provence was also on that level and it was perfectly fine as so little time was spent in the room. Whatever leisure time there is can be spent in the lounge or up on the sun deck during day time cruising.
Once the single supplement was dropped on the two other River cruises I have taken I upgraded to the mid ship level for the view, the cost being just a bit more than the Tauck single charge. I chose the two non Tauck cruises because the itineraries worked better for me. But, it's a trade off as to quality of the tour opposed to the cabin location and Tauck wins for content and personal touch. The Tauck 40% upgrade charge from the single cabin to the mid ship level is not worth it, IMO.
The itinerary on this upcoming cruise is looking to fit my needs perfectly. Lunch in a castle? Hello! It all sounds marvelous. We are going to have such a good time.
Report Abuse
Hi travelchat, I agree with you about the lower level without a single supplement being a very good deal and that is why I book almost a year ahead. I had that room before on Tauck on the London/Normandy/Paris trip and it was fine and quiet. No way I could afford to have a single room for my son if I did not do it this way. It takes me this long to get it all figured out as I like to extend trips on both ends, such as Amsterdam and Zurich to go down into Switzerland via the trains and see more of this gorgeous country. Also I like to plan it all year. i'll wave as we go by. Sue
Report Abuse
Sue81 - first River cruise (Tauck) took me by surprise with the number of singles. That was true again of both the others I went on. It was remarkably easy for we singles to mingle with couples and families who were kindred souls and proved most welcoming.
I plan to go in two days early to the Swissotel. Day of arrival is for relaxing and an early night to fight the jet lag, the full free day I'll do a tour of Lucerne, the following a half day of leisure until boarding.
Bon voyage to us. I'll wave too

Looking for death of Walter Hesson
I am trying to find the death of Walter Hesson who was born abt 1885 in Ohio. He was listed in his father's obituary in 1938 as living in Bartlett, Oklahoma. From his sibling obits I figure he probably died between 1949 - 1958. The Tulsa library tells me there was a Bartlett in two counties, Okmulgee and Western Osage. I don't have any info on whether he had a wife or children.

Given a polygon P in the plane, a pop operation is the reflection of a vertex with respect to the line through its adjacent vertices.

If you are anything like me, as soon as you enter another person's home or office, your eyes are drawn to their bookshelves. I mentally take note of the books that we have in common – or those titles that I have admired but that I don't own. I nearly always notice how they are arranged. Are they are haphazardly stacked between framed photographs or trophies or are they neatly organized by author?
If you are anything like me, as soon as you enter another person's home or office, your eyes are drawn to their bookshelves. I mentally take note of the books that we have in common – or those titles that I have admired but that I don't own. I nearly always notice how they are arranged. Are they are haphazardly stacked between framed photographs or trophies or are they neatly organized by author?
That is why I loved thumbing through "My Ideal Bookshelf" edited by Thessaly La Force. One hundred writers are featured in the book. James Patterson, Dave Eggers, Stephenie Meyer and Chuck Klosterman are among them. Each two-page spread includes spine art created by Jane Mount; they could be frame able art in itself.
La Force required each author to submit a list that would serve as "a small shelf of books that represent you – the books that made you who you are today, your favorite favorites." A blank shelf awaits the reader on the last page of the book. It is an empty palette for the reader to imagine the books that would be on his or her shelf.
In my mind, I created a shelf and began with classics from my youth: "Heidi" and "The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew", two of my favorites that I read again and again as a child. Placed next to those are "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and "Gone with the Wind." Others would follow: "We The Living" by Ayn Rand and "Prince of Tides" by Pat Conroy, "Unravelling" by Elizabeth Graver, "A Stroke of Genius" by Jill Bolte Taylor.
Another book very similar to "My Ideal Bookshelf" that I mentioned above is "Unpacking My Library: Writers and Their Books" edited by Leah Price. It's interesting and includes writers and photographs of their actual bookshelves; too many photographs in my opinion. I was bored with those interviews I read and quit several pages in.
If you haven't figured it out already, next to reading books, librarians love to read about books. Many authors have written books about books but my favorite is Pat Conroy's "My Reading Life."
In "My Reading Life," Conroy explains how words affected him from an early age. His love affair with books began very early; he writes lovingly about his experience as a young child when he rescued a beautiful collection of William Thackeray's books that had been boxed and thrown away in a dumpster.
While reading "The Prince of Tides" in 1986 I was struck over and over by exquisite prose; it was so beautiful that I paused my reading in order to digest it. You may have noticed that one of Conroy's books made my imaginary bookshelf above. Conroy's recollections in "My Reading Life" explain why his addiction to words and books has made him such a skilled writer.
In "The Book That Changed My Life: 71 Remarkable Writers Celebrate the Books That Matter Most to Them" edited by Roxanne J. Coady and Joy Johannessen, more than 70 contemporary authors and public intellectuals have written short essays about one book that has mattered the most, changed them the most, or inspired them the most. The exception is Nelson DeMille who lists four.
Children's author Laura Numeroff lists "Eloise" as the book that changed her life. Suspense author Lisa Scottoline chose one book for its power to influence her- "Angela's Ashes." One of the editors of the book, Roxanne J. Coady, left a job in New York City 23 years ago to open a bookstore in Connecticut. Her mission was "to be a place where words matter" and where the writer meets the reader.
Coady's bookshop, R.J. Booksellers, isn't listed in "Read This! Handpicked Favorites from America's Indie Bookstores" edited by Hans Weyandt. Weyandt's list is included; he is the owner of Micawber's Books in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Also included are the Harvard Book Store in Cambridge and the Tattered Cover Book Shop in Denver. In the introduction to this little book that you could tuck away in a purse or briefcase, author Ann Patchett advises us that the book is a 'catalogue of matchmakers' with lots of wonderful favorites listed by trusted booksellers who happen to be prolific readers.
Patchett herself is a bookseller and owns Parnassus Books in Nashville, Tenn. Patchett includes her personal favorites in the introduction.
Two other recent books with plenty of recommendations, or brain candy for those of us who can't get enough reading about books, are "Practical Classics: 50 Reasons to Reread 50 Books You Haven't Touched Since High School" by Kevin Smokler and "Must Read: Rediscovering American Bestsellers From 'Charlotte Temple' to 'The Da Vinci Code'" by Sarah Churchwell and Thomas Ruys Smith.
Smokler explains why high school reading can be much more enjoyable after one is out of high school English class. Most of the books assigned are much more meaningful as an adult although Smokler defends their value at whatever age.
The books written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, William Shakespeare, Harper Lee and Holden Caulfield should not remain dusty on the bookshelves of your youth.
Churchwell and Smith are both lecturers of American Literature in the United Kingdom. Their book is a scholarly work and they include critiques of American bestsellers, focusing on the merits of their popularity. Discussions include Lew Wallace's "Ben-Hur," Mario Puzo's "The Godfather," and the recent novels of Nicholas Sparks.
If you would like to spend a few hours, days or weeks, with any of these books, please visit the library catalog (keyword: books and reading – United States) or speak with a librarian who will be happy to place any of these books on hold for you.
Charlotte Canelli is the library director of the Morrill Memorial Library.

Personally I have always bought enclosures and drives separately. Not only has it been much cheaper, but I don't encounter any of the software issues related to the pre-built ones.
Newegg.com - Rosewill RX-358-S BLK (Black) 3.5" SATA to USB & eSATA Ext. Enclosure w/Int.80mm fan
Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda LP ST32000542AS 2TB 5900 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive -Bare Drive
for instance. Plugging the drive into the external enclosure is simply the matter of having a screwdriver on hand. It's not at all complicated.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
They are both name brands and I would have thought there won't be much to choose between them if they are a similar price.
The best thing to do is to put their name plus "review" into Google and then do it again with their name and "problems" and see which seems the best and least problem prone.
Hope this helps, John

I also had a 1TB Western Digital My Book External Firewire/USB drive that lasted all of 18 months before crashing.
This got me searching for a more reliable and hopefully faster External Hard Drive which I found in the LaCie Hard Disk MAX 2TB Quadra eSATA/FireWire800/FireWire400/USB 2.0 RAID Portable External Hard Drive...
I have the 1TB + 1TB LaCie External Hard Drive configured in Raid 0 and I am using the eSata connection to interface with my computer and the LaCie's measured performance is 5X as fast as the Firewire 400 and 6X as fast as USB 2 performance that I got from the failed WD and Seagate External Hard Drives.
Its a breeze backing up large amounts of data like groups of multi-GB video recordings or one of the many 25 GB Windows 7 System Images that I keep from different dates to the LaCie eSata External HDD because the transfer rate is so much faster than it was with Firewire or painfully slow USB 2.
