We have decided on three weeks in Australia and New Zealand for our honeymoon in July.
First of all, I am concerned we may be trying to fit too much in and am wondering if we should cut out New Zealand. We don't expect to get back to this area but we don't want to come home exhausted. Here is what we have charted out so far:
Sydney 3 nights
Great Barrier Reef 3 nights
Daintree 2 nights
Uluru 2 nights
Adelaide 3 nights
Melbourne 3 nights
Auckland 1 night
Rotorua 3 nights
Auckland 1 night
If we were to cut out the 5 nights in New Zealand, where should we allocate that time? Should we be cutting it out?
In terms of accommodations, since it is our honeymoon we want to stay in luxury places and we need a bit of help.
For our time near the Great Barrier Reef, are there any recommendations? Places we are considering are Qualia and Reef House. I have seen mixed reviews of Reef House, including some old reviews on this site. We want to stay somewhere really special. Are there other places we should be considering?
We are planning on spending a few nights near Adelaide, as visiting wineries is a priority. Any recommendations there? Someone else on this forum had suggested wineries near Melbourne. Should we skip Adelaide and do that instead?
Are there any fabulous accommodations in any of our other destinations that we should be considering (except Sydney and Melbourne -- we are all set there).

Itinerary and hotel/resort recommendations for our honeymoon
We have decided on three weeks in Australia and New Zealand for our honeymoon in July.
Report Abuse
Too ambitious. As much as I adore NZ, I think you're better off sticking to Australia this time. As it is, you're only seeing Auckland and Rotoura, and missing the best of what NZ has on offer. That's a long way to go to see a city and some geothermal activity.
I'd start by adding time to the locations on your existing itinerary. Three nights in a given area only gives you two full days, once you're arrived and gotten settled. There's so much to do in South Australia for instance, Adelaide is just the tip of the iceberg. As for wine regions, take a look at the Barossa Valley, the Clare Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills. Also look at drive distances to reach them.
Even if you cut NZ, you've still got six destinations in three weeks, which is a pretty busy schedule.
Have you checked flight times and schedules to see how much time will be eaten up by moving from place to place?

We've been to Palm Cove a number of times and the last couple of times have stayed at the Reef House. The restaurant is good (both location and food) and is worth going to dinner (if you're in Palm Cove), even if you're not staying there. As for the hotel, yes, it's a bit tired and in need of some refurbishment. You may want to check out the Angsana, Sea Temple or Peppers in Palm Cove or Peppers or the Sheraton Mirage in Port Douglas. The Sheraton has, in recent times, been in that category of "in need of some refurbishment" but I think they have actually been doing it so it may be better these days than some of the older reviews might suggest.

I agree - cut NZ this time. Auckland & Rotorua aren't representative of the best it has to offer and your schedule doesn't allow time to do a beautiful place justice.
I'd add extra days to FNQ to allow for vagaries of weather and to explore this unique region, and to Melbourne/Vic or Adelaide /SA so you can do day trips and / or overnights where the whim strikes.
Btw, Qualia is on Hamilton Island, in the Whitsundays.
Report Abuse
First off....Where are you from elysag..?
Are you chasing some sunshine, or winter activities. Do you want warm sunny days, or cold days & nights.
If you're from somewhere in the northern hemisphere, I imagine you will want to see some sunshine and warmth...ie FNQ (Far North Queensland, Cairns way) which will be about 24c daily, and plenty of sunshine, but not humid. When you start heading south, Sydney/Melbourne/Adelaide...and NZ at that time of year, it's going to be cold. It will be our winter in the southern hemisphere,after all...but at least in the tropics, it's a temperate winter.
To save on excess luggage (coats, jackets, winter clothes) you might want to simply look at spending more time in the warmer area/s...which can have as much diversity as the cities down south anyway..but we also have the Reef/Rainforest/Bush/extreme-relaxation (I just made that one up) and even shopping.

Thanks for the replies. We are from New York.
We want some sun but we are not likely to spend day after day out in the sun. We want some spa time. Neither of us have ever gone snorkling so if the water is warm enough, we want to do that. We love great restaurants and wine. Many days of extreme relaxation sounds just right with a little bit of city time fit in too.
The consensus seems to be that we should skip New Zealand altogether. Since my husband is a teacher the only time we will ever get to New Zealand is during our summer, which will limit us to the North Island it seems.
We are still considering skipping Adelaide since that will be the coldest stop. I know Melbourne will be cold as well but we really want to go there and it won't be like winters we experience here so I am sure we will be fine with it. Any other thoughts on cutting out Adelaide?

For wine, Adelaide would be the city I would pick. South Australian wines are my favourite Australian wines. I'd cut back on your time in Sydney or Melbourne.
If it were me, I would visit two cities only. As a tourist destination Australia's selling points are the areas outside the cities: the Red Centre, Kakadu, Far North Queensland, Tasmania etc. While all of the capital cities are very pleasant, they don't deliver an urban experience like London, Paris or New York. They all have some good museums and great restaurants, but there isn't the density of cultural activities you would get in most European cities, for example.
Have you considered Tasmania? It's great for hiking and very beautiful.

<Since my husband is a teacher the only time we will ever get to New Zealand is during our summer, which will limit us to the North Island it seems.>
Au contraire elysag - the SI of NZ is lovely in the winter time - all those snow capped mountains! We love it that time of year.

I wouldn't disagree with Susan7 in that I would pick Adelaide (McLaren Vale, the Barossa, Clare Valley, the Adelaide Hills) over Melbourne (the Yarra Valley) if I was really, really interested in spending a fair amount of time touring wineries. However, the down side to Adelaide is .... there isn't much there. It's a nice city (and the food market is especially good), Glenelg (seaside) is pleasant enough and Adelaide itself is a pleasant place to spend a morning. Unless there are particular wineries you want to visit (or you're planning on going to Kangaroo Island), I would cut out Adelaide and go to the Yarra Valley when you're in Melbourne.
We were in Adelaide the weekend before last. Went to the produce market on Saturday morning, drove to Glenelg for breakfast, down to McLaren Vale for an excellent lunch at Coriole (preceded by excellent tastings at Chapel Hill and d'Arenberg) and back to Adelaide for dinner at Jasmin (the purpose of the trip - my daughter likes her food hot, so we were going for the tindaloo). Pottered about Sunday morning (including visiting Colonel Light pointing the way), drove out to Hahndorf and then back to the airport. As you know, there is not much to see at a winery so it's about (a) nice countryside (b) good tastings (and after a few, they start to taste the same and/or you can't remember which was which) and (c) a decent lunch. As said, Adelaide has more regions if you're really in to visiting wineries but otherwise I would suggest the Yarra Valley (or the Mornington Peninsula) when you're in Melbourne. If you go to the Yarra Valley, visit Domaine Chandon (the winery itself is more interesting than most and it's worth paying to try a tasting flight of their sparkling wines), Tarra Warra has an art museum (and will provide a decent lunch) as will de Bortoli (and a number of the other wineries). We also had lunch recently at Tokar Estate, which was good.
If you want some spa time, consider going to Daylesford, the spa capital of Victoria. Blow the budget and stay at the Lake House. Have dinner at the Farmers Arms or the Mercato.
If you go to Daylesford, the Convent Gallery is worth a visit.
It may not be the best weather but on the way to Daylesford (or the way back), you can always have a Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Report Abuse
Daylesford looks lovely but I think we are getting our fill of spa time at the GBR and Daintree.
We took out NZ and will leave that for another trip.
I looked at domestic flights to get a sense of travel time. It seems our biggest issue will be flying from Ayers Rock.
Now we have revised our itinerary as follows:
Sydney 4 nights
Palm Cove 4 nights
Daintree 3 nights (waking up very early the last morning for an early flight to Ayers Rock)
Ayers Rock 2 nights
Adelaide 1 night
Picking up a car in Adelaide the next morning and driving to Melbourne spending 3 nights on the way
Melbourne 4 nights
I am curious about tips for the drive from Adelaide to Melbourne. After my research, I thought this would be a good way to stop at 1 or 2 vineyards and then drive along the Great Ocean Road. I know from the forum that it is better to drive in the opposite direction -- Melbourne to Adelaide. But that does not work for us. I saw that the GOR was on a lot of lists of must-sees for Australia and the photos I have seen look amazing. If we drive from Adelaide to Coonawarra and spend one night there, where on the GOR should we spend the two nights we have allocated to the GOR? A more general question is whether this is a good plan to add instead of staying in Adelaide for 4 nights and then flying to Melbourne?
Thanks so much for all of the help.
Report Abuse
I would definitely vote for driving from Adelaide to Melbourne rather than staying 4 days in Adelaide and then flying. It's about 400 kilometres from Adelaide to Coonawarra, so an early morning start should get you there in time for lunch. I'm no GOR expert so others may have better suggestions but after a night at Coonawarra, head down through Mt. Gambier to the GOR and maybe spend the next night in Port Fairy or Warnambool (or a bit further along to Port Campbell if you want to get to the 12 Apostles that day). You could then spend the third night in Apollo Bay or Lorne (or in that vicinity) before moving on to Melbourne.

For the GBR area: Thala Beach Lodge. FABULOUS!!!
I loved Abel Tasman (South Island, NZ) in June. Very mild weather.
Report Abuse
In Sydney, I recently stayed at the Sir Stamford Circular Quay. I found it very lovely and charming and not over the top expensive for how nice it is. I would stay again in a heartbeat. There are other fancy name brands like Four Seasons that is very popular, but I did not see that hotel at all on my visit

Thrown from the wreckage of his '74 Camaro, Paul Sheldon, author of a bestselling series of historical romances, wakes up one day in a secluded Colorado farmhouse owned by Annie Wilkes, a psychotic ex-nurse who claims she is his number one fan. Immobilized from the pain of two shattered legs and a crushed knee, Sheldon is at Annie's mercy.
Unfortunately for Sheldon, Annie is mad; mad that he killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain, in his latest book; mad that he wants to escape; and of course, mad in the most extreme clinical sense of the word.
To set the world straight, Annie buys Sheldon a typewriter and some paper, drugs him, locks him in a room, and forces him to bring Misery back to life in a novel dedicated to her. Fear of physical torture is Sheldon's greatest motivation. One wrong sentence and she is likely to smash his legs with a sledgehammer, cut his thumbs off with a hacksaw, or much, much worse. But writers have weapons too. . . .
King's new novel, about a writer held hostage by his self-proclaimed "number-one fan," is unadulteratedly terrifying. Paul Sheldon, a writer of historical romances, is in a car accident; rescued by nurse Annie Wilkes, he slowly realizes that salvation can be worse than death. Sheldon has killed off Misery Chastain, the popular protagonist of his Misery series and Annie, who has a murderous past, wants her back. Keeping the paralyzed Sheldon prisoner, she forces him to revive the character in a continuation of the series, and she reads each page as it comes out of the typewriter; there is a joyously Dickensian novel within a novel here, and it appears in faded typescript. Studded among the frightening moments are sparkling reflections on the writer and his audience, on the difficulties, joys and responsibilities of being a storyteller, on the nature of the muse, on the differences between ``serious'' and ``popular'' writing. Sheldon is a revealingly autobiographical figure; Annie is not merely a monster but is subtly and often touchingly portrayed, allowing hostage and keeper a believable, if twisted, relationship. The best parts of this novel demand that we take King seriously as a writer with a deeply felt understanding of human psychology.

The Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center is bracing for what could mean drastic cuts to its funding.
Under the Governor Kasich's biennium budget Superintendent David Branch said their funding will go from $1.8 billion to $640,000 a 66 percent drop.
Currently, the ESC helps provide a variety of services like psychologists, occupational therapists and pre-school classrooms to school districts in five counties. Funding cuts mean a higher cost to districts and cuts to services.
"If we lose our funding in pre schools and they don't get as much as what they lost then the cost of those school districts is going to go up," explained Branch. "Which in essence means if they receive no additional funding and their costs go up in essence they've received a reduction."
The ESC runs 27 pre school classrooms. After a meeting with state officials Branch said he found out that 80 to 85 percent of rural and poor rural school districts saw no funding increases under the new budget, while only 48 percent of suburban and wealthy suburban school districts saw cuts.
"Until you know how much it really costs and you cost out the program for educating a child that's in first, second, third grade and so on you really don't have a good number that's the starting base to put some add ons into and that's never been done and that defies logic," said Branch.
On Tuesday, three area Superintendents will speak before state lawmakers on school funding. They include Northern Local's Tom Perkins, Lori Snider-Lowe from Morgan and Mark Neal of Tri-Valley.
We'll have more on the school funding debate on the WHIZ News.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Lloyd's Names are suing Clyde & Co, a major legal player in the Lloyd's insurance market in connection with one of the biggest pieces of Lloyd's litigation to date.
Clyde & Co said it will contest the action.
The 4,000-member Sturge Names Action Group (Snag) is instructing Eversheds in this and other actions after collectively losing more than £1,000 million.
Eversheds partner Charles Lambrick said: "This action focuses on the role and conduct of advisers to managing agents at Lloyd's.
"It is a further dimension of the unhappy saga of recent Lloyd's history."
Writs were served earlier this year by Eversheds in Snag members' actions against the Sturge holding company, the Sturge Managing Agencies, Members' Agents and syndicate auditors Neville Russell & Co.
The latest action against Clyde & Co concerns its role advising the Sturge Managing Agents of Syndicate 210.
These proceedings are "closely related" to one of the on-going court actions, concerning Sturge's decision to cancel a reinsurance policy in return for $80 million.
The policy gave unlimited protection to Syndicate 210 against US asbestosis claims arising from policies written by the syndicate pre-1969.
A Clyde & Co spokesman said: "We have heard that a writ has been issued by the Sturge Names Action Group in respect of advice given by this firm. We have not seen the writ, and so are unable to comment on its contents."
Eversheds said the writ had actually been served.
Clyde & Co said: "We are aware of the action group's allegations generally, which are without foundation. The action will be contested."

Who loves Obama?
It is said that Tony Blair is one of the men British hate most, true?
Who loves Obama?
It is said that Tony Blair is one of the men British hate most, true?
The most hated person in Britain is Margret Thatcher.
Tony Blair was pretty shit. I was definitely not a fan. I'd take him over Gordon Brown or David Cameron any day though. Britain hasn't really had a "good" leader at any point recently. Then again what actually makes a good leader?
Yeah, it's impossible to make a whole country happy. Doesn't matter who you are.
Obama's the best president we've had in a while. He isn't going to be remembered well, though. He's a rebound fuck. America just got out of a really awful and abusive relationship with George W. Bush, and decided to experiment with someone new and exotic.
I would say Brown is more hated where Blair is simply disliked, personally speaking.
I'd definitely take Obama over Blair, since Blair supported Bush's war and Obama opposed it. Unfortunately, American presidents don't have the legal authority to do anything good. They can only choose between evil and eunich.
Godafather, we can't talk about 胡萝卜 or 温度, but I believe criticism of anyone out of office is allowed, other than 毛儿, of course.
QiQi, we actually can talk about those two right, since they are well regarded and no longer in office?
If I want to say 胡萝卜挺好, can I? Or will any discussion of carrots be censored?
please dont you guys even dream about this, otherwise we will need to buy some VPN to post threads in here, as god father says, its easy to ask the question about my friend Obama or tony blair...
i would like to see those hanzi writters to ask the about their own leaders... he he he
Hahahahaha ... probably sentimental, or just the accent ... Tony wins this one ...
oops, I meant to say, if I want to say that carrots make China healthy and strong to defend against the Japanese and Americans, can I say that?

The Ghana coach has told his players they must work collectively if they are to nullify the Real Madrid star when his side meet Portugal on Thursday.
Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah says everyone knows that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world, but urged his players not to be fixated with stopping the Portugal captain on Thursday.
After earning a draw with Germany on Saturday, Ghana remain in contention to advance from Group G and into the knockout phase at the World Cup for the third tournament in succession.
And Appiah believes there is a lot more to Portugal than just nullifying Ronaldo's influence.
"He's the best player in the whole world – everyone recognises that," he said. "You can only stop Cristiano Ronaldo, the best player in the world, by working as a team. We can't let him show what he can do.
"But it's about teamwork, I don't believe in the individual."
Portugal's last-gasp 2-2 draw against the United States on Sunday kept their slim qualification hopes alive and set-up an important clash with Ghana in Brasilia.
With unbeaten pair Germany and the US set to do battle, Ghana must defeat Portugal and hope for a favourable result in Recife.
"It's important that we don't allow Ronaldo to play his game," Appiah continued. "We will study their game, but it's not only him, it's the whole team.
"It won't be easy to reach the round of 16 because we've only got one point. It'll be tough, it is possible."

This is my first post on my brand new blog. I'm pretty pleased with myself, ordered the hosting, registered the domain, uploaded and installed WordPress without a single hitch in just a couple of hours. A big part of the success was the speed and simplicity of the hosting and domain setup from tsohost.co.uk, great value, super fast response to queries and it all works!! I even set up the blog manually, before I found the software on cPanel to do it automatically, just brilliant. I'm going to have a glass of wine to celebrate.
My plans for this blog are to publish some of my photographs and I also hope to do hands on kit reviews, news as well as hints and tips on gear, software and tecniques. I'll also cover other subjects that I'm interested in. These will probabaly be the ones I'm photographing anyway, so there will be some photographic connection.
The next few weeks are going to be pretty much focussing on setting things up, getting the theme right etc etc.

Johan Pienaar Airport is situated just outside of Kuruman in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. The town, which is on the border with the North West province, has a small population (around 13 000) and the airport is small to match it. The Kuruman airport operates with a single runway which is 1700 metres by 15 metres and 1336 metres above sea level.
Owing to the small size of the town and its lack of reputation as a major tourist hub, the Kuruman Airport is not very busy. The scheduled flights are few and far between and then they usually carry business people visiting the mines. Larger airports are located in Johannesburg (Gauteng) and Bloemfontein (Free State).
Kuruman is situated just outside of the Kalahari National Park, a popular self-drive destination among South Africans. The region is dry with a couple of small shrubs dotted about. The town however is an oasis, thanks to a fresh water spring which provides 20 million litres of water to the town every day. The spring is known as 'The Eye of Kuruman', 'Die Oog' or 'Gasegonyana'.
Some people think of the spring as a 'fountain of Christianity', as it was in Kuruman that Robert Moffat established his missionary in 1821 and became the first person to translate the bible into seTswana. In 1841 David Livingstone showed up in Kuruman to start his missionary career.
The Kalahari Meerkat Project (made famous by the television program 'Meerkat Manor') is based just outside of Kuruman.
The area around Kuruman is mined for iron ore, manganese, blue asbestos and tiger's eye, so it is probable that much of the airport's traffic is related to this industry.

Produced from August 1997 to March 2014, the CapAnalyzer 88A series II checks electrolytic capacitors in-circuit for both ESR and DCR with no unsoldering. It is the only capacitor tester that discharges the cap, checks it for low DC Resistance (DCR) up to 500 ohms, reads out high-frequency Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) from 0.1 ohm to 20 ohms, and compares your readings to industry standards on the three-color chart right on the front panel. The included one-handed tweezer probe with beryllium copper tips allows testing of both normal and surface-mounted electrolytics and uses coaxial cable instead of normal test-probe wire for stable readings on small capacitors. Parts, such as tweezer test probes are still available from EDS.
The LeakSeeker 89 locates the exact spot on the pc board (to within a fraction of an inch) where a shorted or leaky component is bringing a power supply bus or data line to ground. It is the only locator that can locate defects from zero to 300 ohms with no loss of resolution. It can even find active shorts that a DVM won't even show. The high GAIN mode can locate shorted components on multi-layer boards with ground planes and a power layer.

From the author of the runaway bestseller Math Doesn't Suck, the next step in the math curriculum pre-Algebra.
Last year, actress and math genius Danica McKellar made waves nationwide, challenging the "math nerd" stereotypeand giving girls the tools to ace tests and homework in her unique just-us-girls style. Now, in Kiss My Math, McKellar empowers a new crop of girls7th to 9th graderstaking on the next level of mathematics: pre-Algebra.
Stepping up not only the math, but also the sass and style, Kiss My Math will help math-phobic teenagers everywhere chill out about math, and finally "get" negative numbers, variables, absolute values, exponents, and more. Each chapter features:
• Step-by-step instruction
• Time-saving tips and tricks
• Illuminating practice problems with detailed solutions
• Real-world examples
• True stories from Danica's own life as a student and actress
Kiss My Math also includes more fun extrasincluding personality quizzes, reader polls, and real-life testimonials ultimately revealing why pre-Algebra is easier, more relevant, and more glamorous than girls think.
McKellar's newest book on pre-algebra is designed to help those teens struggling with math. The book is broken down into five manageable sections: numbers; variables; x; exponents; and functions. Each section has several chapters focusing on parts of the theme, and chapters features step-by-step instructions, tips and tricks, and practice problems. Throughout the text are testimonials from successful women who use math in their jobs and McKellar's diary segments, with stories from her teenage life. One might ask, "How is this book any different from the math books that schools and libraries already have?" McKellar understands teens. She speaks their language. She gives practical examples that have meaning to teens. And honestly, she makes math fun. Anyone who can do that has a hit on her hands. There are only two drawbacks to this book. The examples and conversations McKellar has with the reader are very girl oriented, which is part of her goal of making more girls comfortable with math, but may turn off boy readers. The second drawback is that teens will only pick it up if they are struggling. If this book was used as supplemental material in a class, more teens would be forced to try it and learn that her tips are worthwhile. As one who uses calculators to do simple addition, this reviewer learned something. Reviewer: Kristin Fletcher-Spear

...Teresa's out of town till Sunday night, so we're hanging out this weekend, and on Saturday night he's taking me to my cousin's wedding reception.
We're lying on his bed and he's conned me into reviewing some stuff he wrote for his eternally in progress thesis.
I have my little red pen out and I'm circling things like there and their, and your and you're. He hates to write and it shows. He's asked me to help him, but he isn't taking it seriously at all, he's just lying on his back throwing a raquetball up at the ceiling.
I honestly don't think he's ever gonna graduate.
"Too bad about you and the cowboy. I thought you two crazy kids were gonna make it work."
"I didn't know you were such a big Chris fan."
"I'm not, but - think about it - his math skills plus your writing skills. Your kids would've almost been androids." (Sorry, inside joke - he has this theory that all really smart people are actually robots.)
I laugh, and he gives me a very wry, very Seth smile, then rolls over and elbows me. "You o.k.?"
"You can be upset, it's o.k. You're allowed to be human." He leans over and whispers in my ear, "You're not actually an android. YET."
I want to laugh because he thinks I have no feelings. Come on. "Sorry to disappoint you - I'm just not that upset right this sec." I chew on the pen cap for a minute, then mutter, "Besides, you've seen me cry enough lately."
I suddenly realize that was the perfect opener for a conversation I don't want to have. Unfortunately he sees the opening and takes it. "Yeah, about that - "
But I don't want to talk about this, any of it, not when he has a girlfriend, and not when I'm so confused, so I tell him its late (even though its not) and I need to get home, that maybe Teresa can help him review the rest of it, which earns me an eye roll and a "thanks a LOT," and a few minutes later, I go.
Hey guys... Just an fyi, my blog makes a lot more sense if you start reading it from the beginning.

- This is how I've beaten the glitch. It works everytime.
I noticed that one method works for the Dawn Tower (11) and a different one works for the Dusk Tower (12).
Dawn Tower:
Copy your save to another slot, then start your game with the original save. (Example: Copy slot 1 to slot 2 and boot up slot 1) You should be able to go into the Dawn Tower with no problem.
If you come back to the sanctuary to save, say no when asked to continue. Delete the second save and repeat the first step I mentioned. It's rather annoying, but this will work everytime, at least for me.
Dusk Tower:
Sleep for 12 hours or more. That's it.

There's no reason to enter the Dawn Tower after you unlock the first shortcut.

I apologize for yet another thread about this. I just encountered the glitch and tried all the different methods mentioned on this board.
Well, good to have more data on this.
I'm currently working on a foolproof way to bypass the glitch with the aid of a computer, so for those of you who can't find a reliable solution, I may be able to give you one. It's going to take quite a bit of time though. Stay tuned- I'll make a thread if I meet success.

Dawn Tower and Dusk method both don't work as I go through the game again just a heads up. This glitch is unpredictable as hell as I have been saying.

I just figured out a way to bypass the glitch 100% guaranteed to work every single time.
- Begin the game at 6:00 and sleep for 24hrs so that it's 6:00 again.
- Enter Arcadian Tower and immediately exit to Observatory.
- Walk to the flower garden and stand their for 5mins, then walk inside the Observatory.
- Talk to Elena once.
- Walk 10 circles around the table and stop.
- Remove Strange Grains and place them in your bag.
- Give 9 Strange Grains to Elena.
- Sell 1 Strange Grains to Mavda.
- Sleep for another 24hrs and save your game
- Sleep for 12hrs this time.
- Walk to the basement and stay their for 5mins, it's important Aeron doesn't move.
- Now you're ready to leave for Dawn Tower, after this next step.
- Talk to Mavda and create an item (any item) and place it in your bag.
- Sleep for 12hrs.
- Now you should be able to enter Dawn Tower.
Good luck people.

The one trick that seems to work for me (so far) is when you save the game, quit the game when it ask you to continue and then load up your save file. That's it, simple.
Official Guardian Knight Slacker of Safe Haven.
Light blinds us and forces us to stumble about in ignorance - Altair
I found one that works every single time for me. I would have posted it sooner, but I have no internet access at home.
Anyway, what you do is pretty simple.
Once you get back from the Dusk/Dawn Towers to give Elena flesh, do everything you need to do first (store, buy, sell items; BE SURE TO GET RID OF YOUR FLESH! I only had it not work once and it was when I had flesh with me) and then save.
After you save, go back to the Wii Menu ( I accessed the menu by using the HOME Menu) and load the game again from there. Access your save on the game's main screen. Once it loads you back in the Observatory, immediately go to the place outside that lets you access the towers.
*BE SURE TO FOLLOW THIS AND TAKE YOUR TIME!! This might sound silly and tedious, but bear with me.
Once you are standing there, just stand there a few seconds (I count to seven seconds), then press the A Button to access the Tower List. Hover over the Dusk/Dawn Tower of your choice BUT DO NOT PRESS ANYTHING FOR 7 OR SO SECONDS! After ~7 seconds, press A to get the confirmation screen. WAIT AGAIN FOR ~7 SECONDS. After that, hit A and it should let you in.
*For the 7 seconds, I just had the light on the options go back and forth 7 times as my timer*
So, in short, anytime you need to go back to those towers:
1) get rid of all flesh and save
2) load the game again from the Wii Menu
3) stand outside the observatory in the Tower Select area and wait ~7 seconds then press A
4) Hover over the Dusk/Dawn Tower of your choice and wait ~7 seconds then press A
5) Hover over the enter tower option and wait ~7 seconds then press A
Yeah, takes about an extra minute of waiting to get in, but yeah.
I think the game apparently has a loading problem, because it worked for me every time if I had no flesh and waited 7~10 seconds before each option. I know this sounds convoluted and stupid, but it really worked for me.
Also! If you want to go back into these Towers after you complete them, register Centrum first by entering it and leaving, then do the above. It would not let me in until I registered Centrum.

Just to let you guys know, this isn't a joke. Might sound really dumb, but it worked for me over 50 times. I kept going back to upgrade all of my weapons and such. I tested a bunch of combinations (took forever), and only took it as a confirmation if it worked 5 times in a row. When I first got to these Towers, it would not even let me in, so I thought after a while, "Maybe it is just lame and needs time to load", so I decided to wait between confirming options, and it worked.
I really hope this works for you :D

VATICAN CITY, DEC. 16, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Cardinal Peter Turkson is warning that religious freedom is currently under particular threat from secularism, fundamentalism and pluralism.
The president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace affirmed this today in a press conference for the presentation of Benedict XVI's message for the 44th World Day of Peace, which will be celebrated Jan. 1.
The theme of this day is "Religious Freedom, the Path to Peace."
The cardinal explained that the Pope chose this theme "because the living of religious freedom — a basic vocation of man and a fundamental, inalienable and universal human right, and key to peace — has come under great stress and threat."
He noted the threat of "raging secularism, which is intolerant of God and of any form of expression of religion" as well as "religious fundamentalism, the politicization of religion and the establishment of state religions."
The prelate pointed to another threat "from the growing cultural and religious pluralism that is being made ever more present and pressing in our day by globalization (which heightens interdependence and fashions new forms of relations) and the increased mobility of people (who run into new cultures and religions)."
"Thus, differences which should enrich human culture are increasingly being exploited, especially in the area of religion, to achieve the opposite effect of impoverishing human culture through intolerance, denial and negation of the right of religious freedom," he stated.
The cardinal affirmed that "the Holy Father, in his message, sees the safeguarding of religious freedom in our multicultural, multi-religious and secularized world as one of the ways to safeguard its peace."
He pointed out the "increasing instances of the denial of the universality" of human rights "in the name of different cultural, political, social and even religious outlooks."
Cardinal Turkson made particular mention of "the Lautsi case here in Italy and the crucifix case in the European Court of Human Rights, the case of Asia Bibi in Pakistan, the case of Southern Sudan, Christians in the Middle East, doctors who are denied license because they will not terminate pregnancies, denial of aid-packages to developing countries who object to aid-conditions on religious-moral grounds, and so on."
It is in this context, he explained, that Benedict XVI wrote the message of peace, addressing "incidents of the denial of the universal right of religious freedom in the name of culture, religion, politics and state policies."
The prelate stated, "These denials obscure the truth about the human person, disregard people's dignity, badly compromise the respect for the other rights, and ultimately threaten the peace of the world."

Sea Shepherd's Mission StatementEstablished in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species.
Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.
In 1978, with financial support from Cleveland Amory of the Fund for Animals, the Society purchased its first ship (a British sea trawler Westella) and renamed it the Sea Shepherd. Its first mission was to sail to the ice floes of Eastern Canada to interfere with the annual killing of baby harp seals known as whitecoats. In the same year, the Sea Shepherd hunted down and rammed the notorious prolific pirate whaler the Sierra in a Portugal harbor ending its infamous career as the scourge of the seas.
Since those early days, Sea Shepherd has embarked on over 200 voyages covering many of the world's oceans and defending and saving defenseless marine life all along the way.History and Timeline of Sea Shepherd
Captain Paul Watson
Paul Watson was born in Toronto, Canada, on December 2, 1950. At six years old, he and his family moved to the lobster fishing town of St. Andrews-by-the-Sea in New Brunswick. The eldest of seven children, Watson lived there until January 1964 when his mother died and his father returned the family to Toronto. His father was Anthony Joseph Watson, a French-Canadian born in New Brunswick, Canada. His mother was Annamarie Larsen, the daughter of a Danish artist Otto Larsen and Canadian Doris Phoebe Clark.
"I have been honored to serve the whales, dolphins, seals – and all the other creatures on this Earth. Their beauty, intelligence, strength, and spirit have inspired me. These beings have spoken to me, touched me, and I have been rewarded by friendship with many members of different species. If the whales survive and flourish, if the seals continue to live and give birth, and if I can contribute to ensuring their future prosperity, I will be forever happy."more about Captain Watson
CEO Alex Cornelissen
(Alex Cornelissen, on the left) – "I was working for a publishing house in Amsterdam when I first heard about Sea Shepherd. A friend of mine joined the crew to make a documentary about their work. I was so impressed by the organization that a year later I quit my job, sold my apartment and joined the crew for what was supposed to be a sabbatical. That was 2002 and I am still here".
You are currently a Captain and CEO at Sea Shepherd. How did your career path evolve within the company?
I first joined the crew in the Galapagos and started as chief cook. In that position I served on our first ever campaign against Japanese whaling in the Antarctic. In 2003 I worked my way up to the bridge as second mate and was promoted first mate in 2004. After the second Antarctica campaign that ended in February 2006, Captain Watson gave me command of the Farley Mowat, our flag ship at the time. Unfortunately the vessel was held for four months in Capetown under a politically motivated detention. My first act as captain was to sail out of the harbor without permission under cover of darkness. Since then I have commanded nearly all vessels in our fleet. At the end of 2007 I moved to the Galapagos Islands where I was in charge of our ongoing campaign for six years. At the end of 2013 I took the role of CEO. I still try to go on campaign as captain but obviously that is more difficult these days.
How does a day at work look like at Sea Shepherd?
When I am in Amsterdam, it is non-stop emailing, meetings and calls. When Europe slows down, the US starts and then Australia. Things never really come to a stop for Sea Shepherd Global. Furthermore I need to make frequent trips all over the world. Having the office in Amsterdam is a lot of fun, we have a great team. Also having the Sea Shepherd Shop is a great way to reach new people that are interested in supporting us.CEO's Blog

For less than $15, anybody can buy a disposable camera, take 24 shots and pay someone to develop them in an hour. Instant art. It's understandable why some people refuse to consider color photography as a serious art form. It's the "works on paper" version of marking a piece of construction paper with a crayon. Even William Eggleston, now known as the father of color photography, faced the dismissal of color photos as fine visual art. In a review of Eggleston's 1976 exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, for which MOMA's photography department curator John Szarkowski labeled Eggleston's work "perfect," New York Times art critic Hilton Kramer rejected his photographs with "Perfect? Perfectly banal, perhaps. Perfectly boring, certainly."
Even if you love Eggleston's work, it's easy to see where Szarkowski is coming from. These are simple color photos taken in everyday situations; the subjects could be a neighbor, a former teacher, that obnoxious kid down the street. In William Eggleston: The Los Alamos Project, an exhibit of early works at the Dallas Museum of Art, there's a grocery store employee rounding up carts, condiments on a walk-up order window ledge, a car parked next to a building with a strangely placed oval window. In description, they're nothing special. They could be the accidental vacation photos that don't make it into the family album. Or the test shots from frame one of several rolls of film. But, America, this is your life: little moments, tiny views, shown in full color and framed beautifully to give a peek into a story. If there's no great meaning there, it's not this passer-by's fault. He's just taking the pictures, not creating the scene.

Eggleston likes to call his process of photographing "democratic." He shoots everything, from the angry wrinkled woman in front of a colorful tiled wall to a curvaceous bottle sitting on a shiny car hood. He's spent his life walking neighborhoods of suburbs and big towns; his lens has held famous architecture and side-street dives. This obsession with the ordinary has resulted in his photographs being compared to Andy Warhol's paintings. Both take the mundane and make it art. Make the boring and banal mesmerizing and mysterious. Not just anyone--disposable camera or thousand-dollar digital one--can do that.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Stupid Cancer, New York, NY, USA
THE MOST AMAZING organization! When I was diagnosed with cancer it was a wild trip down a strange dark hole. Luckily, I'm Too Young For This! was there to offer friendship and support. Now a year later I am cancer free and very happy! This is a REALLY great group of people with an outstanding mission.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the way they help young adult cancer survivors deal with the experience.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
help many many more young adult cancer survivors.
Ways to make it better...
I had never been diagnosed with cancer to start!
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

"Although competition on the IT&C market in Japan is fierce, there are some niches such as unique consumer devices, specific electronic computers and devices and embedded systems that still have room for growth", said Alexandru Bernea, Business Analyst with Deloitte Advisory and coordinator of this stage of the program.
The EU Gateway program, an initiative of the European Union, exclusively implemented by Deloitte's EU, Japan and South Korea practices, aims at improving access to Japan and Korea, in markets difficult to penetrate (particularly the highly regulated technological sectors).
"Although most Romanian companies in the IT&C industry lack the degree of innovation required to compete on a market as sophisticated as Japan, there might be a handful of firms that can step up the challenge", Alexandru Bernea added.
The program covers six economic sectors: environment and energy-related technologies, information and communication technologies, healthcare and medical technologies, construction and building technologies, fashion design, and interior design. The program organizes six cycles of Business Missions throughout six years until 2014-2015.

Updated 1/18/17. It is winter time and that means cold and flus. Blowing your nose, your body being worn down, and taking medication to manage the systems can all affect the skin greatly – and not for the better.
Here are my six expert skin tips to care for your skin when you're sick with a cold, to keep it looking its best. After all, when you look better, you feel better, right?
1. Use a humidifier in your bedroom at night. Whenever the air is dry it looks for moisture wherever it can get it – and that means robbing it from your skin. Along with decongestants that also dehydrate the skin, it will leave your skin especially parched and dry. By using a humidifier in your bedroom at night, it will keep moisture in the air which will maintain hydration levels in the skin to keep skin feeling comfortable…
2. Apply a cold gel mask to the skin. Since decongestants can dehydrate the skin, a gel mask will put moisture back in the skin to keep it looking moist and dewy. Due to the cold nature from gel masks, another benefit is the relief it can provide to a pounding head and achy face from all the congestion. To make the gel mask even colder, put in the refrigerator an hour prior to using. My favorite is Bio Calm Repair Masque which provides cooling relief.
3. Keep moisturizer on the nose at all times. From repeated blowing of the nose and friction of the tissue (even tissue that has added moisturizer) the nose area can quickly become red, dry and irritated. After every blow, apply a small amount of cream to the nose area and this will provide instant comfort and prevent damage. But keep in mind that using a cream that is heavy is not always the solution for repairing a red, dry, inflamed nose. You must use a moisturizer with moisture barrier repairing ingredients like ceramides and lipid-rich oils like those found in our Phytolipid Comfort Cream and Glow Enhancing Cream.
4. Use skin care products with mint. When you're sick, the skin can look gaunt and sallow due to your body fighting an infection within. Also, the congestion of the nose makes it hard to breathe. My very favorite cleanser to use when I have a cold is Luxe Mint Cleansing Gel. This really clears a stuffy head, opens up the nasal passages, and stimulates blood flow to give your skin a much needed glow. I love it.
5. Do inhalations with pure eucalpytus essential oil. To clear your head, rub 3 drops of this oil into the palm of your hands and cup them over your face with your eyes closed and do five slow in-and-out inhalations. The eucalyptus smells so good and the deep breathing will really clear a fuzzy head. Plus, it helps your bathroom smells like a beautiful, luxurious spa.
6. Drink a lot of water. Much to what you've always been told, this isn't as beneficial for the skin, since water is the least efficient way to hydrate the skin, but more so for the body. Keeping fluids running through your system can flush away toxins and keep your internal temperature down. Read: Refreshing Water Recipes
I recently just got over a cold and so I know firsthand how all of these saved my skin! It really makes a difference if you can get up the energy to be skin conscious!

Book Review: Under Oath by Margaret McLean
If you're a fan of John Grisham novels, then you need to take note of the sophomore efforts of author Margaret McLean. I was sent a copy of Under Oath by her publisher and I'm excited to share my honest opinion with you.
Under Oath is the thrilling story of young prosecutor, Annie Fitzgerald and a high profile murder case with trial law scenes at their best. I felt like I was sitting in the courtroom hearing testimony and I loved how McLean showed both sides of the case so well, that at times I wasn't sure who was innocent and who was really guilty. I definitely couldn't predict how the case would pan out. Only a former prosecutor could write scenes like these with such accuracy, and McLean's experience shines through.
I also liked how McLean took me along the ride for behind the scenes investigative action with Annie--this chick is smart and incredibly courageous--definitely a heroine to root for.
McLean possesses a great writing style with a knack for using triggers to place the reader right in the scene so you experience the story with all of its anxiety-riddled plot twists.
Here's a blurb from the book:
The "code of silence" remains sacred in Charlestown, one of the most historic yet insular neighborhoods of Boston. Gangster Billy Malone stand accused of killing Trevor Shea, a suspected FBI informant, with a potent dose of heroin.
Prosecutor Annie Fitzgerald must crack the infamous code of silence and battle seasoned criminal defense attorney Buddy Clancy, who unleashes reasonable doubt with his penetrating cross-examinations.
The trial explodes into a high-energy race to justice when Annie's chief witness is killed, jurors defy their instructions, and FBI cover-ups obscure the truth. While the jurors are deliberating, Annie discovers incriminating evidence against the Malones.
Time is of the essence...but will justice prevail?
Former prosecutor Margaret McLean combines the best of John Grisham's legal thrillers and Dennis Lehane's Boston crime novels in Under Oath.
If you're looking for an edge of your seat read, pick up Under Oath and let me know what you think. Have you read Margaret McLean's first book,Under Fire? It looks like another one I need to add to my To-Read list.
I'll be posting a Q&A with author Margaret McLean, so check back to hear what she has to say.
Tell me about the books on your summer To-Read list, mine hasn't reached the ceiling yet so I'd better add a few more!
