DNC: Silver, Gillibrand disagree with Jerusalem omission
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver on Wednesday both downplayed the omission of a statement in the official Democratic platform that would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The statement had been in previous party platforms.
"I really don't think it's that significant," said Silver, an Orthodox Jew. "Republicans and Democrats have run with a platform that says move the embassy to Jerusalem for many, many years," Silver said. "Whether it was a Republican or Democratic president, nobody followed it."
Silver said what's important is that the Democratic platform contains a "reaffirmation of our commitment to Israel. That's been a part of every Democratic administration."
Asked if the omission was significant enough to hurt President Barack Obama with Jews, Silver said he didn't think so, but said it was too early to tell.
"I think what's significant is that people don't look at the platforms," Silver said.
Gillibrand didn't directly say whether she thought it would damage Obama.
"I disagree with that platform," Gillibrand said repeatedly when asked several times about the issue. "I think President Obama can stand on his strong record as a friend of Israel .?.?. President Obama has worked very hard on Israel's security."

Americans' view of Sarah Palin is more unfavorable now than at any time since she was the Republican vice presidential nominee.
According to a poll released Friday, 52 percent now say they have an unfavorable view of the former Alaska governor, whose visibility remains high following her campaign efforts during the midterm election season. Her unfavorability rating hit 50 percent only one other time, in October 2009.
Those who view Palin positively have also declined this year, from a consistent 44 percent of the public in late 2009 to 40 percent this November.
She remains popular among a wide majority of Republicans (80 percent), as she was in November 2008 (83 percent). Among independents, however, she's fallen rapidly out of favor over the last few months: from 43 percent approval in July to a record low of 35 percent today.
Meanwhile the Tea Party movement, irrespective of Palin's decline in favorability, is faring better than ever. According to the same poll, 32 percent of Americans — up from a previous high of 31 percent in June — now consider themselves Tea Party supporters. This includes 30 percent of independent voters. Another 25 percent of independents, along with 57 percent of Democrats, say they oppose the movement.
The poll was conducted Nov. 4-7 by Gallup and has a four-point margin of error.

Dutch airline KLM said it expected to resume all inter-continental flights to and from Amsterdam's Schiphol on Wednesday, and about 70 percent of its flights in Europe.
"Every effort will be made to restore the schedule, operating according to the original flight times as far as possible," the company said in a statement.
Dutch airspace was declared off limits from 6:00 pm (1600 GMT) last Thursday because of the volcanic ash cloud from Iceland, which shut down airports across Europe. It reopened partially on Tuesday, including for night flights.
KLM said several restrictions still apply to flights in Europe.
"A number of airports are still closed and flights are restricted to daytime hours at others," it said.
"KLM expects to achieve a great deal today (Wednesday) in restoring normal air traffic and operating around 70 percent of its scheduled flights within Europe."
A number of previously cancelled flights to Britain and several Scandinavian destinations will depart from Schiphol as from 1200 GMT.
"Only 75 passengers of the original group (about 1,500) of KLM passengers stranded at Schiphol since Thursday" now remain.
Nearly 300 KLM flights departed from or landed at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport during the course of Tuesday, the company said.

Investors cautious ahead of budget
Stocks closed higher after recovering from a brief dip into negative territory, but investors remained cautious.
The All Ordinaries added a third of a per cent to 4,376 while the ASX 200 gained 13 points to 4,314.
Investor jitters over Europe were soothed by the belief Spain will use public funds to bolster its struggling banks, although persistent worry over Greece capped gains and weighed on currencies.
Locally, there was a recovery in some big-name resource stocks after yesterday's heavy sell-off, with Rio Tinto adding half a per cent to $62.26.
BHP Billiton saw smaller gains, up 0.32 per cent to $34.68, while Fortescue added almost 3 per cent to $5.35 after Monday's 6 per cent fall.
The major banks had a mixed day of trade - NAB lost a third of a per cent to $24.63, while the rest of the big four made gains of around half a per cent.
In company news, construction firm Leighton Holdings confirmed its full-year profit guidance despite cost blowouts at two of its projects. It expects to make between $400 and $450 million. Shares lost just over 1 per cent to $19.02.
Meanwhile, shares in listed property group Centro remain in a trading halt after entering talks to settle a long-running class action brought by investors.
On the economics front, figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show the trade balance has ballooned to a deficit of $1.59 billion in March, while the February deficit was also revised up.
Economists say the blowout is largely due to coal export disruptions, which should be fixed soon.
The Australian dollar was higher than yesterday, buying 101.70 US cents, 0.63 British pounds, 0.78 euros and 81 Japanese yen at the close of trade.
A barrel of West Texas crude remained close to a three-month low at $US97.80. Tapis was also lower at $US119.
Gold was trading at $1,631 an ounce.

Apparently someone got their hands on an early version of the "Thor" toys based on the upcoming Kenneth Branagh movie, which includes your first look at the Frost Giants (or Giant, anyway) that will be hassling Thor in the movie. If the Thor, Odin, and Loki toys are any indication, then these look pretty much like the movie versions, which would mean the Frost Giant will also resemble the movie version. Check it out below.
"Thor", directed by Kenneth Branagh, arrives in 2011 with Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman as his mortal love interest, Anthony Hopkins as Papa Odin, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

I don't own stuffz.
Danny, as Danny Phantom, blasted himself and Iron Man back to Tony's home in Malibu in a short ten minutes. Once outside the mansion he discarded the rockets and transformed back into Danny Fenton. "Pepper," he called knocking on the house.
"Oh my god, Danny, are you okay?" she answered the door.
"I'm fine but Tony's crashing."
"Oh, that always happens after he's had a major battle."
Pepper quickly resuited Tony, replacing his arc reactor and helping him get out of his suit. "So the kid knows?" Pepper asked Tony.
"Yeah, but I think it's going to be okay."
"What happened? Did you get into a fight?"
"Don't worry about it Pepper."
Pepper sighed knowing she would get no more answers. "Will that be all Mr. Stark?"
"Yes Ms. Potts," he dismissed her smiling at her willingness to accept his stubbornness.
Tony entered the living room to find Danny flipping through the channels. "So, quite a day huh?" Tony asked Danny.
"Listen, Tony, no one except for my two best friends and old sister know who I am. Not even my own parents know I'm half ghost."
"It's fine your secret is safe with me as long as you keep my secret until the Stark Expo."
"The Stark Expo?" Danny asked, "but why just until the Stark Expo?"
"I'm planning on revealing my true identity to everyone. The agents from Shield agree that it's time. It will make it easier for me to keep the world safe."
"Well you don't have to worry about Amity Park. I've got it under control…except Vlad."
"I know you do and I'm proud of you for using your ghost powers to save people."
Suddenly Danny's ghost sense went off. "There's a ghost nearby," Danny explained to Tony.
"So that's what that is. I wasn't sure why this breath of cold air kept escaping your mouth. I had assumed it was some sort of cold or something."
Outside, the box ghost had appeared. "I am the Box Ghost! I will turn all prism shapes against you! Prepare for your doom!"
Danny smiled. "I've got this…I'm going ghost," he yelled, turning into Danny Phantom and flying out of Tony's grand mansion with the older man looking upon him proudly.

Winter World Cup in Qatar moves giant stride closer as Uefa backs plan for 2022 switch
The prospect of a winter World Cup being staged in Qatar in 2022 moved a significant step closer on Thursday when Uefa's 54-member countries gave their overall backing to the controversial switch which would result in a radical overhaul of the football calendar.
According to Jim Boyce, Britain's Fifa vice-president, Uefa members consider it "impossible" to play in the searing heat of a Qatari summer. Fifa is expected to agree in principle next month that the tournament will not be held in its regular summer slot and the decision of Uefa – the Europeans are the strongest of the global confederations – makes a change ever more likely, even if the continent's major clubs and leagues remain opposed.
"They [Uefa members] all agree that to play the World Cup, to take thousands of fans to the biggest sporting event in the middle of summer would be impossible," said Boyce.
Any switch will heighten calls for compensation from those Qatar beat to win the hosting rights for the 2022 finals, notably Australia. That is a path European leagues may look to follow. Fifa is also likely to face demands from broadcasters to renegotiate lucrative deals, with US network Fox in particular set against any move that might clash with the NFL season.
The Premier League has always opposed a move, arguing that the bids were for a summer tournament so that is when it should be played. The European Professional Football Leagues association, of which the Premier League is a member, has called on Fifa to undergo an "appropriate consultation period" before making a decision. The EPFL believes next month is too early to decide.
The decision to award the tournament to Qatar has been controversial ever since the 2010 vote. With temperatures in the summer reaching the high 30s, Fifa's own medical guidelines categorize the risk of playing at that temperature as "extreme". Switching the tournament to either January/February or November/December has long been regarded as the probable outcome.
Uefa's meeting in Dubrovnik concludes today and Michel Platini, the Uefa president and a long-time supporter of Qatar 2022, is expected to clarify its stance in favour of a switch and stress the need for Fifa to consult with all interested parties before settling on the dates for the tournament.
"What has come out of this meeting, and what I think is sensible, is an agreement by the Uefa countries that the World Cup cannot be played in Qatar in the summer," said Boyce, the Northern Irishman who attended the Uefa meeting. "Everyone was certainly in agreement about that. But what the 54 countries do not want Fifa to do is to make a decision yet on exactly when in the year it is going to be played.
"There is still nine years to go and people feel Fifa should sit down with all the major stakeholders and come up with a solution that would cause the minimum disruption to football."
European football is though divided on when the tournament should be played. The British associations have been assured by Fifa that the traditional Christmas schedule will not be affected. Uefa favour a January start to minimise the impact on the Champions League, while Fifa are believed to want it to begin in November to avoid upsetting the International Olympic Committee by clashing with the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Platini also met with Uefa's Professional Football Strategy Council, which includes representatives of the continent's major leagues and player unions. That body wants detailed talks with Fifa before giving its backing to any major alterations to the calendar.
Bobby Barnes, deputy chief executive of the Professional Footballers Association and in Croatia as a delegate for FIFPro, the international players' union, said the possibility that the finals may still be switched to another country remains an issue. "People are unified that a summer World Cup is increasingly unlikely — whether that means a change in venue or a change in scheduling is still to be discussed," said Barnes.
But Fifa maintain that there is no prospect of the tournament being taken away from Qatar. Earlier this year it set up what is claimed to be an independent commission investigating the awarding of the finals to Qatar amid allegations of impropriety and vote swapping – the 2018 and 2022 hosts were chosen at the same time. But a change of venue remains off the agenda.
"We are not talking about removing we are talking about moving, that's key," said Jerome Valcke, Fifa's general secretary, last week. "We are talking about moving [the tournament] in the year 2022 in the country which has been awarded the World Cup."
At the Uefa meeting members were divided into four groups to explore options. The Scottish Football Association was among the group that proposed a start date of 22 January.
"The mood of the meeting was very much supportive of pulling it forward to the beginning of 2022," said Stewart Regan, the SFA's chief executive. He added that member countries would "have discussions with their respective league bodies."

- Coming Soon
Some Changes Will Be Made For NBA 2K17 Patch 1.05
Some Changes Will Be Made For NBA 2K17 Patch 1.05
Recently some NBA 2K17 game players complain about the new release of the patch 1.05 Notes. On the bright side, the developers found the DeMar DeRozan MyTeam card code.
In response to these complaints, 2K Games developers will make some changes to the patch 1.05, for example, the HDR support had already been added for PS4. Please look at the following details:
NBA 2K's official Facebook page also covers the aesthetics of the game. It is said that Cleveland Cavaliers stadium design will be updated.
In addition, the Golden State Warriors uniform now has the number 42 patch. Overall, the team made a great improvement for lots of uniforms.
As for technology, some players can't be equipped with some types of animation MYPLAYER.
Therefore, NBA 2K17 developers have solved this problem. For games, MyPARK or 2K PRO-AM myCAREER or MyCOURT and MyGM or MyLEAGUE are also improved.
However, all counts can't satisfy the enthusiastic fans of the game. It is shown vividly in the comments section.
Some solved their difficulties in PlayNowOnline. While others have revealed that the game is no longer like a real-life basketball game.
That being said, a particular fan in favor of defending an opponent who can play three or three is quite unfair.
Another commenter agrees and says it is easy to do a third but it is difficult to take off his jacket and dunk.
In real basketball, though, many players can manage layups and dunks, the average can play three points. These have fans questioned the game system.
All in all, most players need a lot of things to solve. On the side note, 2K shows the DeMar DeRozan MyTeam moment card, reports the iDigitalTimes locker code.
To get the card, the player simply enters the code: ABGS7-AMR2A-TCNQJ-5YY4U-4R44S.
Currently, the NBA 2K17 patch update v5 is available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

We're going to be hearing a lot about John Lennon this year.
In December, he will have been dead for 30 years. If he had lived, John Lennon would be 70 years old in October.
Such dates and anniversaries stir not only memories, but inspire deeper contemplation and, of course, TV specials. In November, PBS will air Lennon Naked, a BBC film with Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who) as John Lennon, and it's about the tribulations of the former Beatle's last years in England. The next night, PBS's American Masters series has a two-hour special called John Lennon in New York, which chronicles his years there making music and living with Yoko Ono and their family.
Nothing of the BBC drama was shown to us here, but a chunk of material from the American Masters special was, and it looks fabulous - plenty of rare or never-seen footage of Lennon in the recording studio and audio recordings never heard before, plus interviews with Ono and Lennon's music cronies.
To talk up PBS's Lennon-athon, Yoko Ono came here and spoke to the TV critics in one of the more surreal and memorable sessions of this press tour. She's 77 years old now and her persona is as mystifying as ever. In tight black jeans, a bosom-hugging jacket and a hat, she has an elfin quality. She peers at us over dark glasses perched at the end of her nose and begins by saying that her English still isn't very good, so she might not understand the questions. But she does, and uses her answers to appear by turns gentle, sarcastic, angry and witty. She's messing with our minds, and she knows it.
First, there's the saintly part, as Ono presents herself as the devoted preservationist, nurturing the memory of Lennon. Asked about what New York meant to Lennon and to her, she says, in a low, hushed voice, "Well, even after John's passing, when I think about New York, even when I'm in Europe or something like that, I think [long pause]of John in New York because New York was [long pause]well, he loved New York. He loved New York so much. He said, 'Well, I wish I was born here.' I don't know why. But you see, the other thing is that he used to say, 'You know that New York has a docks and all that. It's very Liverpool.' And the taxi drivers are not speaking normal English, so he thought, 'Well, it's very, very Liverpool.' "
Then a very reverent journalist asks her, gently, about the emotional impact of dealing with her loss again by collaborating on the PBS special. "You know, since John's passing,' she says, "I felt sort of empty and I thought, 'What am I going to do?' Because I was putting all my energy focusing on our relationship. And suddenly he's gone. And then I thought, 'Okay, I can put my energy into my feelings for his fans because they had John, but now they need me to sort of bring John back in a way.' And I said, 'I promised that I would put out something of John's every year, just one thing every year.' But it turned out to be not just one thing. I've been doing this for 30 years, actually. So in the beginning, it was very, very difficult, and I would faint when I'd hear John's voice or something. But now, you know, I'm now used to listening to John's songs. And this time I have to listen to so many of his songs. This was very, very heavy. And I loved it in a way because it was like John coming back to let me know that those are the songs that he created when we were together."
But, soon after, she's asked to talk about why she didn't leave New York and why it is still a big part of her life. And she reacts with rage: "I think people say, 'Why are you still living in the Dakota?' And you know, I think it is a slightly racist remark, and maybe sexist too, because I'm sure that many people are living in their own house, their own home, that he or she shared with their spouses, even after the spouse has passed away, because there's a lot of memory, and also you built the place with the spouse. I'm not going to leave that and go to some strange house that I never went to."
When her rage rises and someone tries to change the topic, she won't let go of it. She rants about being seen as "not part of your culture" and how the way she lives is perceived as "a little bit more barbaric or something." She also suggests that men in America can go to "whorehouses" after a wife dies, but nobody criticizes that. The journalist who asked the question is embarrassed and apologetic. He just wants her to stop ranting. As dramatic as it is, we all do.
Now that we've been shocked and intimidated, Ono relaxes. She has lots to say about her presence on Twitter, MySpace and Facebook, and also about how John had a great sense of humour and was a feminist. And, asked about Lennon's killer, Mark Chapman, being up for parole, she says she opposes parole. Firmly.
Then, finally, she's asked about the legend that Paul McCartney visited Lennon once and they were all sitting around watching Saturday Night Live. It was known in New York that McCartney was visiting Lennon so, on SNL, an offer was made that if the duo showed up at the studio to play, they'd be paid with a $3,000 cheque. The legend is that they decided to do it, got in a cab to go SNL and then changed their minds.
Ono confirms much of the story. They saw the show, they heard the offer, they were tempted to do it, but they didn't get in a cab. As the TV critics hang on her every word, she pauses and wisecracks, "It's not because they weren't interested in $3,000." The room erupts in laughter. She has conquered us. That's Yoko. From saint to scold to joker. Since she appeared at Lennon's side decades ago, people have been trying to figure her out. And still are.
Airing tonight
Cheaters (HBO Canada, 8 p.m.) is a fine movie, made in 2000, about the real case of Chicago high-school students who, in an academic decathlon, beat an elite school by cheating. They had the encouragement of their teacher, Dr. Plecki (Jeff Daniels). It's a good, tough-minded movie about winning and losing and who gets to fudge the details.
The Cupcake Girls (W, 9 p.m.) is about Heather White and Lori Joyce, friends who attempt to build a cupcake empire in Canada. When I wrote recently about a cupcake show on TLC, this show's existence was pointed out. In tonight's episode, Heather and Lori attend couples counselling, but they wonder if they can ever see eye to eye again. There you go, eh?

The new code words of the new insurrectionista-mentally-and-spiritually-sick: "Report Health Care Dissenters" (to Barack Obama).
Join Date: Feb 2009
Location: In The White Boy's Face
Re: Crack down on dissenters. Report anyone who doesn't support Health Care here!
Quote: "Who says what behavior is dissenting or not?
Hotep responds:
Anyone who opposes President Obama's Healthcare Plan is considered to have dissenting behavior.
And, since we know that 99% of the people who oppose our Great Black President do it just because he's Black, we can also say it's racist to oppose the President's Healthcare Plan.
Therefore, if you oppose the President's Healthcare Plan, then you are a racist and a threat to this country.
You will be dealt with accordingly!
And Hotep plasters this, his signature line, on his comments:
Support Black Nationalism
"Our objective is complete freedom, justice and equality by any means necessary." – Malcolm X
Let there be no shock and surprise, not any longer, when Dictators such as Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Ahmadinejad, Kim Ill and the Nutty Khadafi-Daffy welcome into their fold the newer among them, Barack Obama.
But let there be much shock and horror that this nation, the United States of America, is festering and fostering such hideous illness — mentally and spiritually — that is ascribing to the intensely disturbed mentality that is evidenced in that quote above.
Report mental illness to Barack Obama. Maybe he'll take note and get some help. For himself.
Barack Obama might begin to address the racial hatred, racial animosities and racialist reasoning that he displays as he is also aggressively inspiring if not requiring among his "followers" — but like all racists, I strongly doubt that Obama (nor "Hotep" [above]) will ever seek treatment for such.
Because Obama (as also, "Hotep," above and others like him) preserve their social-resentments, racial generalities and negative stereotypes as blaming targets, such as "America" and "Whites" and Obama's abandoning mother and over-indulging, profane if not, likely, perverse grandparents, those "White people" he deems to be so pejoratively "typical": they put little Obama in the hands of the monster, the perverse, the communist, Frank Marshall Davis, and they left him there. Abandonment, anger at being abandoned, delusions of grandeur ensued.
Obama's history begs the question, is he going about seeking relief from all that long-held infancy and childhood turmoil and betrayal? Because he sure seems to be illustrating a classic example of "a cry for help". On hyperdrive. With desperation. With extreme anguish and emotional demands. Call that what it is: extreme emotional and/or psychological disturbance.
And among those developmental strange turns, "a cry for help" very often assumes the characteristics of that (or he or she or it) which is held blame for the trauma experienced; one so affected becomes the victimizer when one has not exorcised and fully vented the victim experience, including self-forgiveness and acceptance for having been victimized.
I think it's very reliably stated today that Barack Obama has fully assumed the role of victimizer and is so stuck in denial of his own victimization experiences that he's dedicated now to pursuing all those boogey men, which, in his case, he's identified as the U.S.A., "Americans," "white people," "Capitalism," "juris prudence," "national security (aspects supporting some of those first terms)," "public exposure of his own identifiable characteristics (resentment and hostility directed toward some of those first few terms)," "Israel (ditto)," "Christ (ditto)" and anyone Allied with any of that in one combination or the other.
This country, the United States of America, is founded upon — and defined by — principles (our Rights) that include our Freedoms of Speech and Religion. That does not mean that one — anyone in this nation, citizen or not — is somehow even remotely honorable to report on their neighbors for perceived differences of race and/or adulation of personalities, in public office or out of them.
Nor is anyone supported by our Constitution in doing so, except when in the context of seeking help from law enforcement as to possible crimes. But having race (any race, being human with DNA) does not represent the process of crime, so just "reporting your neighbors" because they're of some race you dislike or denigrate is not the act of any sane individual, nor does the Constitution honor such behavior, intention or state of mind.
The Freedom of Speech does include, for American citizens, each individual citizen's Constitutional Right to criticize, speak about in any manner, any elected official included in our government (and including the government in general). No one is protected under our Constitution as to criminal activity or civil violations, nor, somehow excused (because of weird, strange or sick beliefs unless one is making claim to being legally insane and an appeal to the Court to be a Ward due to mental incompetence) to inflict the results and outcomes of those (whatever weird, strange or sick) beliefs on others. Except, it seems, today among the many Wacky Left who have seized upon "this Black President."
Tell me, exactly, what IS a "Black President" and who is representing the United States of America instead?

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 - 7 nights
The studio suite has a large balcony with lounge chairs out front. Very nice common areas, pool and property. Spacious room and living space with flat screen TV, wireless high speed internet, a safe for your valuables, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, full bathroom and a kitchenette that is well equipped for fixing meals. Linens and (beach) towels are provided and a weekly cleaning is included. The suite is located on the 2nd floor. Location doesn't get much better than this! It is centrally located within walking distance to world class restaurants, nightlife, shopping and people watching on La Quinta Avenida just one block and a half away and jst 50 steps from the beach.
Overall, this place is fine. Communication with the manager, Noemi, was very quick and she answered any of our questions very efficiently.
The unit is well located near restaurants and Avenue 5 shops as well as the beach. The bed was very comfortable and the unit is quiet and not affected by the clubs which are nearby. The pool area is nice. The negative comments I have are that the pictures of the unit appear to have been taken 20 years ago. The drapes and furniture are a bit worn. Also, the cleanliness of the place was less than desireable.
Blue Palms was a little hard to find by rental car, but you won't need one here to get around Playa Del Carmen.
Room 209 is a single studio with a good bed.. pool is great, location awesome, staff were friendly and helpful, shower faucett needed fixing and was scheduled for repair. All in all great value!
Kel and Cindy
Description of the unit and location was a little misleading. It is close to the beach just not a very nice one. Unfortunately during our stay the unit above was being renovated and took away some of the enjoyment and quiet. But it was clean though the pressure in the shower was minimal.
This is such a convenient place to stay and very comfortable. Excellent for a couple. Bed was comfortable, AC was very much needed and worked great, internet is sufficient, and fridge was nice.
Would highly recommend this place to any couples looking for a relatively inexpensive yet comfortable and convenient place to stay in Playa Del Carmen. The unit is just far enough away from the Clubs that the music blaring all night can barely be heard if at all.
This was our 13th visit to Playa del Carmen but the 1st time renting a condo. The property manager was very prompt in answering all of our inquires and emailed us thorough directions and instructions prior to our arrival.
The directions for retrieving the key from the lock box were easy to follow and we found suite 209 with ease on the second floor.
Our initial impression was that it was much smaller than the photos appeared. The suite was very clean and although the bedding is a bit more worn than in the photos, it was adequate and there were plenty of pillows. The king size bed was very comfortable and the air conditioner worked very well. The kitchenette has a two-burner hot plate, microwave, sink, small fridge, and all of dishes you will need (the knives were not very sharp). The water pressure in the shower was hit and miss but we adjusted to it. Internet was available but froze frequently. It would always start again and it was good enough to check our email, surf and chat.
The rooftop patios were very nice and had a view of the ocean both day and night. There were lounge chairs and a table with chairs available right outside the patio door of the condo unit and the pool was very refreshing.
As indicated in the description, there were towels and bedding provided and replenished when the maid service came. The safe was large enough to fit our tablets, wallets etc. The basics were provided but we did have to purchase additional toilet paper and dish soap which was no problem.
There were a couple of bottles of cold water provided and we purchased the large sized jugs from a convenience store only a block away. It seems the larger jugs are cheaper.
The entrance into the condo unit is a sliding patio door. You have to jiggle the key a bit to lock and unlock it. The condo has no opening windows other than the patio door and there is no smoke detector in the suite. The air conditioner worked great though and there is a ceiling fan.
There was a security guard on duty all night and they are prompt at silencing any noisy tenants at 10 pm.
This condo is in a great location. The beaches are close and there are many restaurants near by.
In summary, although our first impression was that it seemed a bit rustic, we appreciated that it was so clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again on our next trip.
We were very impressed to get our deposit back the day after our return home, thank you so much for that.
We had a perfect vacation week. The condo has everything you need. WE had no problems at all. The managers of the property gave us an excellent services, and of course the price was affordable. I forgot things there and they send it back immediately. We will be back!
Playa del Carmen is located in the heart of the Riviera Maya making it the perfect place to stay while you're discovering the Riviera Maya. There are numerous great tours and activities to undertake in the area ranging from a visit to the Mayan ruins and villages to exhilarating ATV rides through the jungle. There are fresh water cenotes (sinkholes) to swim in, scuba diving or snorkeling on the coral reefs, visits to nature parks like Xcaret and Xel-ha. The list of things to do is too long to mention but make sure to save a few days and nights for the beautiful beaches, great restaurants and hopping nightlife of Playa del Carmen. We've been living and working in the area for over 10 years so be sure to ask us if you have any questions.

The next step is to configure virtual points to track redundant server status during system operation. The points have the following requirements:
Naming convention is:
MASTER_PTM_RP for the primary server
SLAVE_PTM_RP for the secondary server
Type is virtual
Class is Digital
Calculation for the point is None (default).
A point will take on a value of:
1 if the server it represents is currently operating as the primary server
0 if the server is the secondary server
The current Primary Point Manager will only change the values. This implies that point updates to the global points will occur when:
There is a redundant server failure
Redundant servers are synchronized at startup
An orderly transition from secondary to primary server occurs.
Important: If you are using point lines in Trending that automatically look for the data source, you must configure MASTER_PTM_RP and SLAVE_PTM_RP. These are the points that Trending needs to failover to the secondary server if the primary is down.
Base system configuration.

Devo: The Complete Truth About De-Evolution Trailer (1993)
"Now it can be told..." 19 November 1993 Music 90 mins
Now, the complete truth can be told...Devo, the seminal New Wave audio-visual concept band made a career out of setting to music video their Dada-gone-camp theory of de-evolution and its riotous rebuke of corporate culture. Punk/New Wave mad scientists Devo were among the few bands to understand the music video's potential as art form during its infancy in the eighties. Their brilliant and bizarre videos were compiled on VHS and then on laser disc; that long out-of-print disc, The Complete Truth About De-Evolution, has finally arrived on DVD, which should please longtime fans of this eclectic outfit.

The True Gay Agenda!
Now we see what those sneaky gay rights activists are up to . . . they're after the straights' wedding decorations! Today Hallmark unveiled its new gay wedding cards! Oh noes! As you can see, they are part of the creeping agenda that threatens heterosexal marriage everywhere; it isn't enough to attack marriage itself (after all, if gays marry pretty soon all straight people will be tempted to go gay too, right?) but now they've got to come after weddings. I can just see it now . . .
Imagine a world where gays can plan their own weddings . . . there will be no teal satin bridesmaids' gowns. Not one! Instead we'll be plagued by tasteful sheath dresses from Versace, Prada, and Oscar de la Renta. Whether that bridesmaid is male, female, or transgender, they'll look completely fabulous. And that's a threat to good-looking heterosexual women everywhere who know that the only decent way to dress for a wedding is to wear the most unflattering and poorly cut gown your crazy bridezilla sister can find.
There will be no lace doilies. In a good, traditional wedding with good traditional heterosexuals, the sacred institution of unneccessary layers of lace on every object present (including dinner plates and photo frames) must be observed or traditional marriage is threatened. What on earth will happen to our society if all that lace is ripped from its sacred place and instead we see slick use of contemporary chrome, china, and steel?
What will we do when the dance floors are covered with people who feel they can ask anyone to dance, regardless of gender or sexual orientation? The very fabric of our society will be destroyed when staunch adherence to gender roles are broken down and a woman dances with a woman, or a man with a man. White males who can't dance will no longer have a monopoly over the women, who will not feel obligated to dumb down their skills to accomodate their heterosexual lords and masters! Friends might actually enjoy themselves in mixed groups. What's next? People dancing with their kitties and puppies?
We must work now to stop this phenomenon of homosexuals meddling in the sacred institution of heterosexual wedding cards. Like THIS example I have before me! Behold! It has a stylish color scheme, is splashed with hearts that are charming but not cutesey, and has the insidious words "Two Hearts, One Promise!" This is an outrage! This is a threat to civilization! This is — huh.
Well, actually, this is a pretty cute card . . .

Washington, Apr 9 (ANI): Scientists have identified the mechanism underlying the so-called 'broken-heart syndrome'.
Called Tako-Tsubo syndrome, or stress-induced cardiomyopathy, it is a rare disease, which at first used to be confused with the far more common (and dangerous) cardiac infarction or heart attack.
Many have also defined it as the "broken heart disease"- it affects mostly women in post menopause period, when they are no longer protected by the estrogen hormones, and it is associated with strong emotional stress, like a bereavement, in 80 percent of the cases. This is the reason why it is often associated with a broken heart.
Led by Filippo Crea, researchers have now identified the mechanism underlying this peculiar pathology.
"In 80 percent of the patients, symptoms disappear spontaneously after a couple of weeks, leaving no trace behind, whilst in the other cases the damage persists. The fact is that the damage caused by this syndrome is in the heart but not in the coronaries. What we have tried to explain is the mechanism which leads to the onset of these symptoms," said Crea.
To perform the analysis, researchers studied fifteen women aged on average 68 for a month.
And thanks to this study, they could identify for the first time the phisiopathological mechanism of the disease.
"We concentrated on the apical region of the heart because that is the area where the dysfunction is localized. Due to this, the heart takes on the characteristic shape of an air balloon, or - as the Japanese observed - of a local octopus trap. The Tako-Tsubo is as a matter of fact the name of this pot in Japanese," explained first author Leda Galiuto.
The hypothesis the researchers developed is that the mechanism, which influences the dysfunction, resides in the spasm of the small coronary vessels, the so-called coronary microcirculation.
"To prove our hypothesis we used the myocardial contrast echography, a method we pioneered and which allows us to study the coronary microcirculation in a selective, safe and cheap way at the patient's bedside," said Crea.
"The microcirculation plays an important role in cardiac diseases and the intense vasoconstriction of these small vessels cannot normally be noticed in a coronarography," he added.
Researchers have also been able to demonstrate that this microvascular spasm is reversible and, once over the acute phase, the microvascular dysfunction causing the symptoms is also resolved.
"Usually patients are not left with any damage, because the lowering of the blood input is sufficiently serious to prevent the heart from contracting properly, and hence the balloon-like shape, but not enough to determine the death of blood cells, which is what normally happens in an infarction", concluded Crea.
The study has been published in the European Heart Journal, of the European Society of Cardiology. (ANI)

* Spanish, Italian govt bonds outperform higher-rated peers
* Draghi comments fuel optimism over euro zone economy
* Greek lawmakers pass austerity measures, pave way for aid
* Spanish socialist primary a cloud on political horizon
* Euro zone periphery govt bond yields tmsnrt.rs/2ii2Bqr
By Abhinav Ramnarayan
LONDON, May 19 (Reuters) - Investors switched from high-rated euro zone government bonds to lower-rated Italian and Portuguese debt on Friday as a positive economic and political climate in Europe contrasted sharply with turmoil in the United States.
Earlier this week, euro zone bond yields dropped across the board, tracking a move in U.S. Treasury yields on concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump's recent troubles and its implications for future policy in the world's biggest economy.
But on Friday, investors started focusing on the positives in the euro zone, particularly after European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi's optimistic comments the day before.
"Everything has turned upside down - European political risks have faded, the economy is looking strong, while in the U.S. everybody is worried," said DZ Bank strategist Daniel Lenz.
Trump struck a defiant tone on Thursday after days of political tumult, denying that he had asked former FBI Director James Comey to drop a probe into his former national security adviser and decrying a "witch hunt" against him.
The "transatlantic spread" between U.S. and German 10-year government bond yields has fallen to 187 basis points, well off its April peak of 216 bps.
This is a change from earlier this year, when U.S. yields rose sharply on expectations that tax cuts and extraordinary spending measures from Trump would boost the economy.
In Europe at the time, the UK's "Brexit" vote promoted concerns that an anti-establishment wave would affect key elections across the euro zone and threaten the bloc's future.
So far that hasn't happened, while as Draghi told Dutch lawmakers on Thursday the euro area economic recovery is becoming increasingly solid.
Euro zone growth has outstripped that of the U.S. so far this year, data earlier this month showed.
In a classic "risk-on" trade, Italian and Portuguese 10-year government bond yields fell 3 basis points each on Friday morning, while the German equivalent rose slightly as did yields on other high-rated bonds.
The Italy-German bond yield spread fell to an 11-day low at 175 bps, well off its 212 bps peak from earlier this year.
Also on Friday, European stocks were up 0.27 percent while the euro rose 0.3 percent against the dollar.
In a further positive for the single currency bloc, Greek lawmakers approved pension cuts and tax hikes on Thursday sought by the country's lenders to unlock vital financial aid.
Greece's 10-year government bond yield was steady at 5.79 percent, close to recent lows hit since an agreement on bailout reforms appeared to move closer.
A cloud on the euro zone political horizon, however, is Sunday's Spanish socialist primary, the outcome of which could determine whether Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy will be able to see out his four-year term.
Spanish government bond yields appeared relatively unaffected by this vote, but that could change, said DZ Bank's Lenz.
"Markets often can only focus at one thing at a time, but if (Pedro) Sanchez wins the vote, he could create problems for Rajoy and then we could see Spanish bonds affected," he said.

- Governor Bob McDonnellGovernor of Virginia
Ban all fox pens in Virginia
In Virginia, foxes are being trapped in the wild and then sold for use as live bait in pens for dog competitions. The Virginia Game and Inland Fisheries Department (804) 367-1000)currently issues permits to allow this statewide. Email the Governor address below to urge them to ban fox pens. (Please call and email only if you're a Virginia resident.) .Although these fox pens may be several hundred acres in size, they are densely stocked with foxes, ensuring that the dogs will easily be able to find their prey.
During each competition, hundreds of dogs may be set upon foxes who have nowhere to run or hide. The result is that many of these helpless animals are run down and killed by the dogs.
The dogs kill so many foxes that the pen owners constantly need to buy more animals from wildlife traffickers, who practice a brutal trade. Wildlife traffickers first trap the animals and then truck them for miles, sometimes illegally across state lines, before depositing the terrified animals in unfamiliar enclosures.
These facilities have consistently violated regulations and have demonstrated that no level of regulation and enforcement is a deterrent for illegal activity. (Thank you HSUS for this information.)
- Governor of Virginia
Governor Bob McDonnell
Ban all fox pens in Virginia.
Fox penning is a cruel practice where packs of dogs
are released in fenced enclosures to chase down
foxes. Often the captive foxes are pursued to exhaustion,
caught and then killed by dogs in these
"fox pens." More than 6,000 of Virginia's foxes were
taken from the wild and thrown into fox pens in
the last five years, just so judges could score how
ruthlessly the dogs pursue the fenced foxes. There's
no excuse for a fenced game where foxes have to
run for their lives. Please ban all fox pens in Virginia.

Keynes Saved Capitalism
January 19, 2004
Many respected academics have long drawn analogies between the economic theories of John Maynard Keynes, generally considered the most important economist of the 20th century, and the economic policies of Nazi Germany, says Bruce Bartlett.
For example:
- An article in the April 1975 issue of the prestigious Journal of Political Economy points out that German economists in the early 1930s were well aware of Keynes' work and were developing theories along parallel lines; these involved the now familiar prescription for economic depressions of large budget deficits, public works programs, and easy credit.
- A July 1992 article in the journal Explorations in Economic History found that German fiscal policy stopped being restrictive and turned "Keynesian" as soon as Adolf Hitler took power; government spending increased almost immediately, helping to pull Germany out of the depression while America and Britain still maintained restrictive fiscal policies.
- Furthermore, it turns out that Keynes' greatest admirers have long maintained that Hitler's economic policies were indeed Keynesian; in a lecture to the American Economic Association's annual meeting in 1971, economist Joan Robinson, a close colleague of Keynes, said, "Hitler had already found how to cure unemployment before Keynes had finished explaining why it occurred."
But Keynes developed his theories in the 1930s precisely in order to save capitalism. He understood that it could not long survive the mass unemployment of the Great Depression. His goal was to preserve what was good about capitalism, while saving it from those who would destroy it completely, says Bartlett.
Of course, there is much in Keynes' work to criticize. Many of the economic problems of the postwar era resulted from it. But in the context of his time, says Bartlett, Keynes is a man to be admired, not slurred as a crypto-fascist.

The Sunday in particular proved glum as myself and the lads barely picked a winner between us. On many occasions, we've practically danced up Leopardstown Road on our way to the boozer after a good battle with the layers but this year, not even a Toblerone from the ladies outside with the buggies could lift the mood as the cold evening swept across Killiney Hill and settled over south county Dublin.
Four odds-on favourites, some of which we'd backed, had been turned over and as we sipped our first pint of stout, the consensus among the group was that the heavy ground was the main culprit in what turned out to be a very expensive day.
As punters, it's always easy to blame an outside factor when things don't go your way and I was happy to hold the elements responsible when anyone asked how we'd got on in the betting ring that afternoon.
But the truth is, National Hunt favourites do not get beaten more often when conditions are bad - and we had simply made the mistake of punting too heavily on animals which were unproven on the going.
Having used and heard the heavy ground excuse many times when a favourite is beaten, I decided to look into the stats to see if it stands up. To my surprise, National Hunt favourites on heavy ground actually have a higher win rate than average.
In the last ten years, there's been over 5,600 races in the UK and Ireland in which the ground was described as heavy and the favourite has a strike-rate of 38pc.
Compare that to the strike-rate on soft/yielding (36pc), good to soft (36pc) or good (35pc) and you will see that in general, punters don't actually suffer as much as we like to make out when the weather is poor.
I suppose it's a case of trying to filter out the false favourites when the ground is heavy and it's worth noting that National Hunt favourites which have won at least three times on heavy ground in the past actually prove slightly profitable to follow when backed blindly on that ground again.
The going will certainly be heavy at Chepstow this afternoon but there's still quite a bit of guesswork involved when analysing the Coral.co.uk Future Champions Finale Juvenile Hurdle (2.20) as the horses are obviously somewhat inexperienced and have yet to show their preferences.
From what little evidence we have, Adrien Du Pont is a worthy favourite priced around 11/10 and he can help get the Paul Nicholls yard rediscover their Saturday groove.
Sceau Royal reversed the form between the two and beat the selection in the Triumph Hurdle Trial at Cheltenham last time but that's still the best form on offer here and I suspect that previous winning course form at a place like Chepstow will be a plus.
He's never raced on heavy but it was quite soft at Cheltenham last time out and on all known form, he should have enough to keep the likes of Coo Star Sivola and Jaboltiski at bay.
One Nicholls runner I'm happy to oppose is Ptit Zig, which will most likely be an odds-on price for the three-runner Listed Williamhill.com Chase at Kempton (2.00).
A faller in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon last month, I'm starting to worry about his jumping and he also wasn't very fluid in a Grade Two at Ascot in November.
Rated 3lb clear on 165, Wishfull Thinking is a veteran aged 13 but he jumped really well to finish third in the Peterborough Chase. There'll be no room for mistakes in these conditions but considering he handles heavy ground quite well, 7/4 early-doors seems fair.
On this side of the water at Punchestown, Willie Mullins' Min is expected to go off at a long odds-on price in the Grade Two Sky Bet Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle (2.05) and although it's highly unlikely that he'll be beaten, I think he's worth taking on at the prices.
While his two runs in France were nothing special, Mullins and owner Rich Ricci know a good one when they see it and the five-year-old won his Irish debut race at Punchestown with the minimum of fuss.
Still though, a forecast price of 2/11 based mostly on what we've heard about him rather than seen is a little extreme, and I wouldn't put anyone off having a couple of euro on Attribution around 5/1 in case the favourite fluffs his lines.
Henry de Bromhead's gelding won a maiden at Wexford back in October, and improved a bit to finish second to A Great View on heavy ground at Punchestown last time.
IT'S going to take a tough one to win the rescheduled Coral Welsh Grand National (1.45 Chepstow) on heavy ground but Rebecca Curtis' Bob Ford loves a hard slog through the mud and if you ask me, he's an each-way steal at 14/1 or thereabouts.
I thought he'd be a good deal shorter but I guess punters are put off by the fact that he was pulled up seven times in a 22-race career.
I admit that it's a slight worry and he certainly has an odd temperament - but when conditions are in his favour, he really flourishes and Curtis will no doubt have him primed.
A son of Vinnie Roe, he forged clear to win a Ffos Las handicap off 133 in heavy ground last month, and a racing weight of 10st 11lbs shouldn't prove too much of a burden.
1.45 Chepstow: Bob Ford (e/w)
2.0 Kempton: Wishfull Thinking
2.05 Punchestown: Attribution
2.20 Chepstow: Adrien Du Pont
2.30 Lingfield: Captain Cat

Customizing wp-login.php
Trying to customize the look of my wp-login.php page. Changing the logo was no biggie, but I've been having a problem in Google Chrome that I haven't been able to figure out. Use the images to see what's going on.
Here is what my login page looks like in Google Chrome (my pref. browser):
As you can see, the transparency in the corner images is messing up. After looking through login.css I can't figure out what image this is supposed to be. If I could, I could download the image and fix it.
Besides, I would rather that my login page resemble the IE version:
So two questions in essence:
1. What is the background corner image that is messing up, and how do I fix it, and
2. How do I make my login page look the same in all browsers (preferably the way it looks in IE)?
Thank you.

In cased you missed it, No Man's Sky just released yesterday, and people everywhere are discovering the procedurally-generated universe together. In fact, according to the game's creator, Sean Murray, over 1 million discoveries were reported to the No Man's Sky servers in just one hour! That's insane!
I picked up the game yesterday and started my adventure on a planet (that I've named Chuchamunga. Don't ask.) that was completely toxic for my human body. Even so, I still managed to discover some weird-looking creatures that could somehow breathe in the toxic atmosphere. Then it hit me: A lot of these extra terrestrial creatures look like Pokemon!
Here are 6 No Man's Sky organisms that look like they belong to a Pokemon evolution chain!
Liepard and Purple Cat Dude
Our first specimen obviously has plenty of cat-like features already. Along with its purple color and polka-dots, I think it's safe to say that this guy is clearly the evolution of Liepard. Also, look at those red eyes and grumpy expression-- he's definitely a Dark type!
I'm naming this one Cheattah.
Swalot and Derpy Mouth Blob
Let's face it, Gulpin and Swalot are already pretty derpy looking Pokemon. I think this little guy fits right in and brings the derpiness to the next level. If you look closely at the picture, you'll notice some droplets-- this could potentially be acid rain, which would lead one to believe that Derpy Mouth Blob is a Poison type.
Naming this one Esophaderp.
Gogoat and Gogoat Without Grass
This little fella looks pretty shy. It's probably because he feels naked without his grassy body. I honestly only paired these guys up because of the horns, but it wouldn't be the first time that a Pokemon loses a type when they evolve! I'd say this one's a Normal type, but nothing about No Man's Sky is normal.
Name? Stopgoat. 'Cuz it's red.
Arbok and Ridiculously Large Snake
Guys, this snake is so big that it's probably also procedurally-generated. This thing would totally be the giant snake on my team-- sorry Onix and Gyrados. Arbok's needed an evolution for a while now, and I think we can all agree that a gigantic snake would fit the bill. I wonder how many feet that beast is.
What am I saying? Snakes don't have feet.
This one's called Gibekanz.
Bewear and Shy Bear Thingy
For those of you who aren't up-to-date with the new Pokemon coming in Sun and Moon, Bewear has one of the saddest backstories of any Pokemon. This lovable bear loves to give hugs, but underestimates his own strength, and basically crushes everything. Now look at the picture on the right-- it tells a story. When Bewear evolves, his evolution gets really sad and depressed and doesn't hug people anymore. Instead, its sharp claws tend to scare people away and it basks away in its dreary sorrow. Glad I could ruin your potentially amazing day!
This ball of sadness is hereby named Bearliokay.
Alolan Exeggutor and ???
So, what are you waiting for?
There are 18 quintillion planets of potential Pokemon just waiting to be discovered! Have you found any ridiculous-looking wildlife on your journey to the center of the universe? Do they look like they'd be Pokemon? Sound off in the comments!

"I was an outpatient at Clinic ..."
About: King's Mill Hospital King's Mill Hospital Sutton-in-Ashfield NG17 4JL
Posted via NHS Choices (as ),
What I liked
I was an outpatient at Clinic 4. I was treated promptly and efficiently by smiling friendly staff who knew what they were doing. The consultant, was friendly, very informative and helpful and I left re-assured and happy. All in all it was a good experience in a pleasant environment and your staff deserve a pat on the back.
What could be improved
Anything else?
From a personal viewpoint I don't agree with PFI - I just hope this hospital doesn't suffer in the future from this murky type of funding.

I bought the waterfall cardigan in the flannel grey for my daughter who is in her 20s and she loved it.
The cardigan fitted well and suited her - she is tall and the small was a good fit.
The cashmere and merino wool was very soft and washed well. However, I wash all cashmere on a cold wool wash and wouldn't wash any higher than that.
I would recommend this item and other cashmere/merino wool items by Woolovers, several of which I have previously purchased.

RE: the 'Hamilla Mitchell' built in 1864. Thanks for pointing out that error. The misattribution is apparently given in a quote from 'The Illustrated London News' (September 25th 1869).

Why do so many young people today find it difficult to build a true friendship?
cagsil although you always seem to have something to say even in topics you often say that you don't care about you comment anyways. i don't think you should laugh or make fun of such a matter, as i do think this is a serious topic. having said that though, i think a lot of it can be attributed to a lot of things. however, i would mostly blame the media on how it constantly promotes stereotypes and false information to sell the news, that makes most of youths paranoid and mistrusting. plus, i think another contributing factor is the continuing growth between economic social classes, as the recession continues to hit us pretty hard these days. at least that's my opinion
Hey Steven,
I find it ironic that you address my comment for whatever reason.
However, since you have, then you've forced me to defend my position(what I said). And for your information, I was addressing the underlying problems with youth today.
And, had you recently both to check out anything I've recently written, as a part of the 60 Day Challenge, then you might have not bothered with my comment, and simply addressed the topic, which is something you should have done in the first place.
Making a comment about my comment, makes you appear as a small person. Next time, let knowledge and wisdom guide your fingers and not your ego.
Just a thought.
first of all, cagsil. i wasn't criticizing you at all. i was just merely telling you my opinion. that's all. besides, if i was going to insult you, then i would've said something far more insulting to you. you can be sure of that. all i said was that i felt you shouldn't poke fun out a serious issue, as your laughing icon suggested. as far as reading your hubs, you never even read mine, so why are you criticizing me for not reading yours? Seriously, you make it sound like i have an obligation to read every single hub in the 60 day challenge thing. have you ever bothered to read all of mine then if that's the case? if not, then i don't see how that point is relevant. anyways, i wasn't trying to insult or criticize you. just trying to point out that joking about a serious topic was unnecessary when you put up the laughing icon. however, i guess you ALWAYS ASSUME THE WORST ABOUT ME, as it always seems in forums. i merely can't win with you cagsil, as you'll always try to paint out anything i say to you as an insult, as people believe whatever they want anyway. you want to think i insult you, when I DID NOT, the go ahead. it doesn't bother me.
The basics of building a relationship begin in the home. Children learn from example. They learn and test these skills within the family set. Unfortunately, families are disintegrating at high rates which leaves a school room empty of teachers. The skills that they require to build a relationship is now based on trial and error. Who they try this on may be from a intact family or one from a broken family. If they are trying testing their skills on a peer from a intact family, then they might learn the how to and don't do's from this person. If so, then they will begin to develop relationship skills. On the other hand, if the peer is also from a broken family and does not have the skill set to build a relationship, they are both floundering and trying their best to form a relationship. In these cases, there is a high probability that any difficulties will result in the termination of the relationship.
Okay, little boys, stop the fighting!! It's been too long since there has been sooo much drama... let's not begin that again!!!
Cool your heels, both of you. You're hijacking the thread...WAIT!!
This is a good example of how NOT to build a relationship.
yeah, your right. life is too short for petty stuff like this, so why ruin it even more. it's a shame we're not at a bar right now. otherwise i'd offer to buy us all a round of beers to bury the hatchet, so to speak.
That hasn't been my experience. It's easy to make friends, but then again... here in Miami we have a lot of spanish-speaking people and the Americans that have stayed in spite of the replacement of the first language, are happy go-lucky campers that love to tailgate and drink cuban coffee. Socially, Miami is very different. People are warm and it's easy to meet people and make friends.
Just today, I hugged a total stranger. I thought she was a friend that had gone to college with me and whom I had not seen in years. I went up to her with open arms and said "Maitee, It's been so long!" Just when I was about to hug her I realized the woman's expression of terror. I tried to appologize but she smiled and said anyone can benefit from a hug, and hugged me either way. LOL So embarassing!
It is because they love the alpha waves of technology...they take no time to be still and learn themselves so they can be a friend....
I think the attention of young people is focused on appear. The media have a great responsibility in this. Appearing mean not being ourself. Young people are full of problems that are not real problems, but induced by a society that makes them insecure. Maybe it is the fear of the opinions of others and their inability to be true the reasons of their relationship problems
Our fast lives leave us with no time to differentiate 'true friends' from 'just friends'.. Social networking sites, blogs, our whole lives are on internet. Our facebook or orkut profiles show us having around 200 or 300 friends. And all of them know quite a lot about our lives through our pics, videos and updates. Most of the youngsters today have no time to find out whom they actually trust and value out of these many friends or acquaintances they have. There's no time to call someone and talk, we only have time to comment upon or update twitter or facebook status. Once in a while, we do have a high school reunion or some other programs again planned via these forums and sites, but that's it. Once we delete the profile, we lose touch with most of them.
