Swissotel Sydney Guest Reviews (621)
We had a absolutely wonderful stay at the swissotel. Could not ask for any better. The staff were fantastic in every way and the location was brilliant. It was an easy walk to Darling Harbour, Circular Quay and the Rocks. The room was very big with a lovely big bathroom which suited us perfectly. Will definitely stay there next time.

A great location close to everything, including the bus stop for a free CBD tourist shuttle, and was good value. Friendly, helpful staff, our request for 2 double beds was granted so no horrible fold up bed for my child as she was given in another hotel previously. Great amenities including a pool and spa, and when we visited it was hot, so my young daughter enjoyed the dip [and the special stripey guest towels]. My only, very small small complaint was the air con - stuffy and hot without it on during the night, but even on low, it was freezing. There were no top sheets so it was either having a heavy doona on you, or having nothing on you! Very minor complaint really overall.

Our room had a lovely view of Hyde park and the city. The bar area was awesome and the pool was lovely. Their were a few little hiccups which the staff quickly rectified. Great place ot stay for state theatre and shopping as everything is on your door step.

From Rootsaction.org
One great idea that encompasses many
Google them to contact.
"Three of the presidential debates' 10 corporate sponsors have pulled out, citing a desire not to support partisan politics. Pressure is building on a commission that wants to appear democratic. Now is the moment to add your voice.
In 1987 the Republican and Democratic Parties took over the presidential debates from the League of Women Voters, excluding all other candidates and many topics of discussion. The two parties' debate commission is corporate-sponsored and the moderators' questions corporate-friendly.
Click here to email and call the two parties to tell them to open the debates.
For each election, the two candidates make agreements to manage the so-called debates. In 2004, the deal between Bush and Kerry barred them from asking each other questions, and barred members of the audience from asking anything that had not been pre-approved. "The audience member's microphone shall be turned off after he or she completes asking the question," the agreement promised. Obama and Romney's agreement will not be public, but there is no doubt that it excludes all other candidates from the debates.
Here are a few popular, super-majority positions that won't be taken up by either Obama or Romney:
--shifting hundreds of billions of dollars from war preparation to education, infrastructure, green energy
--drastically raising taxes on the super wealthy and corporations
--prosecuting U.S. war crimes
--ending warrantless spying
--ending drone wars and assassinations
--breaking up media monopolies
--undoing corporate trade agreements
--expanding Medicare to everyone
Jill Stein (Green Party) and Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party) would greatly broaden the bounds of discussion.
Click here to tell the two big parties you're fed up with their narrow debates, and to tell the television networks that you want your airwaves opened up to all candidates who are on enough state ballots to total a majority of the country's electoral votes.
Please forward this email widely to like-minded friends.

45 years ago.
Has that been a flu epidemic every single -- doesn't happen every single yeah but he always tells the same thing it's worse than last year's get terrible that -- -- that.

Snow lined slopes in the distance, gushing rivers, steep waterfalls, rich flora and fauna are just few of the gifts that Himachal Pradesh has to offer.
Property Images
Secluded deep in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh is one of the state's best kept secrets... Writershill. If the name gives you a picture of green mountains, deep valleys and leaves dancing with the breeze, then you're absolutely right.
Location Images
Writershill is an hour's drive from Nahan and 20km from Renuka Lake. The area offers auto touring, biking, cultural and historic sites, camping, hiking and wildlife. You can catch glimpses of village life where land, tradition and a slower pace are venerated even today.
The property has quiet, creative spaces that are perfect for getting away from the mayhem of the metropolitans. You can either remain cocooned in the self-contained cottages with a backdrop of spectacular views or you can explore an area rich in forest trails, river treks, wildlife and ragged mountains. Be inspired to compose music, string together some words or just pick up the paintbrush. For people who demand solitude with convenience, Writershill is the place to be.
The cottages are huge and have a library with a wide range of books and DVDs to indulge your intellectual side.
Luxury Cottage: These cottages are spacious yet homely, providing you with amazing views of the surrounding landscape.
Honeymoon Cottage: Tucked away in a peaceful curve, this cottage helps you suspend reality and imagine yourself in a remote part of the world.
Super Luxury Cottage: These cottages are complete with all the luxuries and comforts needed for a memorable stay. The windows open out onto breathtaking views of green mountains and an infinite blue sky.
Wake up to watch the rising sun as you sit under a canopy of tall trees, enjoying a hearty breakfast. Spend your day taking in the beauty that surrounds you or visit some of the popular tourist sites in the region:
Renuka Lake: It's one of the most religious places in Himachal Pradesh. Apart from the temples, the lake is the biggest attraction. Packed with fish that swim to the shores to eat wheat dough thrown in by the visitors, the lake is also a wonderful place for boating. Pick up a boat and pedal away a couple of hours, relaxed by the greenery around.
Badholia Temple Waterfall: Just 1km away from Writershill, this waterfall forms the backdrop for the local temple. The roar of the gushing water can be heard for miles around.
The Jalal River Bed: Another 5km ahead of the waterfall, across the bridge, a path goes down to the river bed strewn with big and small rocks. In and around these rocks, flows the Jalal river.
Renuka Zoo: Built around the lake, the best way to explore the zoo/national park is to take a 3km walk. You will walk with the lake on one side and the animals on the other. Deer, bears, leopards, lions and lionesses are just some of the many animals you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of.
As the night falls, enjoy a scrumptious dinner under the starry sky.
Enjoy little luxuries in the lap of nature. Retreat into a silent secluded corner and find yourself feeling refreshed and renewed after just a day.

Posted: Jan 18, 2013 3:24 PM by The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A federal overseer says it's too soon for California to retake control of its prison mental health system, dealing a blow to a proposal made by Gov. Jerry Brown last week.
Special master Matthew Lopes says in a report filed Friday that too many California inmates are still committing suicide and going without treatment for their mental illness.
Brown filed a court motion last week to end a long-running class action lawsuit over substandard treatment in prisons. Lopes advises the federal judges who will rule on it.
The Democratic governor is also seeking to lift a cap on the number of inmates, saying it would be too dangerous to release more prisoners.
Lopes says ending mental health oversight is "not only premature but a needless distraction" from ongoing improvements.

Last night I decided to make Pete dinner after his long practice for an ABA professional basketball team in Indiana… Mexican Fiesta was on my mind:
After the the Mexican Fiesta dinner Pete and I spent the night talking about life… I love nights like that… the T.V. was on in the background but we really weren't paying too much attention to the movie we watched, "Above The Rim"…
We talked about our lives, where we see ourselves in the next couple years and what we want to be doing in the future. I am so proud of Pete for doing exactly what he wants to be doing in his life and enjoying it every step of the way. I think I even sometimes look up to him for doing what truly makes him happy and disregarding other people's view of him. I have trouble with disregarding other people's thoughts of me, I wish I could be more like Pete and not care about whether or not people see me a certain way.
Pete is currently playing professional basketball and loves what he does, he explained to me that he feels lucky that he has been afforded the opportunity to take the time and play basketball professionally at the age of 27… It's true that many guys at that age are working in cubicles when he get's to wake up everyday trying to improve his game and hopefully get a shot going to play overseas in Europe. I know he's capable of doing this even though that means we would be in a long distant relationship at least I would know that all of his efforts were rewarded the way he deserved them to be… His dedication to basketball mimics his dedication to our relationship so I guess I owe basketball a HUGE thanks LOL… He's able to apply the dedication he has for playing professionally into our relationship which makes him an amazing person to be around.
Last night after his practice ended at around 10:30 he still came out to Illinois to come see me. Words can't describe how much I appreciate his actions of driving a state away to come see me after a long day… How does your man make you feel appreciated in your relationship?
Besides hanging with Pete I decided to catch up a lot of much needed sleep on Thursday and Friday… Here are some pictures of what's been Gettin in my belly the last couple days:
VitaMuffin Mix:
Look what came in the Mail while making my muffins:
Thanks so much to Sami (The Freckled Foodie) for this wonderful gift. She has an amazing blog and is also a basketball player like me! She just wrote a great post about Ayala's SPARKLING Herbal Water! Check it out
After I received the precious greek goodies I finished baking the muffins for Pete and I
How does your man make you feel appreciated? For me, I know that I have a "good" catch (lol) because Pete's willing to come out of his way to see me whenever I need to him to even though he lives a state away. He's there for me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I truly believe the each of our own happiness HEAVILY depends on seeing how happy we can make each other… as Robert Heinlein says,"Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own"
The Elements of Unconditional Selfless Love:
The Physical Factor: Being there" for someone physically means just what the word implies. You're there for them in person, standing by their side, listening to them or talking with them so they're not alone. This may be at two in the afternoon, or at three in the morning!
* The Emotional Factor: When you're with someone emotionally, you're offering your support by allowing them to honestly and openly express how they feel or their innermost thoughts without fear of judgment or ridicule Supporting someone emotionally with unconditional love also means that you're there selflessly to help them work through any anxieties or fears that may be controlling their day-to-day life. The goal is for the person to rise above the negative emotions and turn them into positive ones. In a sense, you're their "shoulder to cry on".
* The Mental Factor: Supporting a loved one mentally or psychologically means that you're helping them think through their actions, motives, and desires. You help them do this by finding out what's going on inside. To support someone mentally requires you to help your loved one process their thoughts through to all possible outcomes.
* The Spiritual Factor: Spiritually supporting someone means you pray for and with them, to help them grow in all aspects of their life – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Often spiritual support is given without a person being aware that it's actually happening.
Hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
P.S. If you have any questions about me personally I'm willing to answer anything since I'm creating a Q&A page for my blog!

Continuing now their coverage of the democratic conventions is safe bet to say the national media will be kinder to the Democrats that -- of the Republicans last week in Tampa.
-- Charles Krauthammer to monitor the national coverage of the Tampa convention.
Also some thoughts in my talking points memo.
Charles joins us now from Washington are so again you know I you're you're pretty good it did get hot shot and then telling everybody what a -- -- and I am.
Where I go wrong and -- Points.
It pains me to say they spent.
This time you've stumbled know you've staggered onto the truth can't get look I mean there's there's the business about -- complete.
Three fusion of the presidency I don't know it was over the Harvard Law School but at the medical school side if you got an incomplete.
-- graduate you can get your -- -- in practice but forget about Harvard Obama by his own standard.
He said in an interview very early in his presidency.
That if he didn't have this thing -- by three years.
He was a one term deal.
And they might this is there one time where I agree with Obama -- -- let it play -- the Charles -- go to Harvard Medical School.
To psychiatrists.
Number do I respected president for saying.
I give myself an incomplete at that there was an honest statement it's gonna be used against him.
But he was being honest and it was also being -- by Sammy didn't fix the economy.
In three and a half years he's out of there -- on any beef with the president on any of that stuff.
Well look I give him credit for honesty and didn't have any other answer.
Could a lot of -- this and I'm not calling the vice president a liar I'm not.
But you just heard Joseph Biden saying hey you're better off than -- or four years ago and you know exactly.
People don't walk my dog do you live in America are you remember a department that's who I know Joseph is a laughing stock and Obama is still taken seriously.
Okay he's an honest guy now.
Charles Dow and in Tampa.
And -- actually hung out with him for about ten minutes in this in the big newsroom -- had there and then he asked -- leave.
But I asked him before he he had to -- remove me.
Two if there was any room for the theory goes that it's kids got into one minutes later you could see people just yet it was nowhere left the new rule that we're losing basically.
Exactly so I asked him to go over -- we prayer I asked Krauthammer over the weekend.
To look at the coverage on on the national media network is -- that.
To see what kind of shots they took.
After the fact of the Republican Convention would -- it.
I saw one.
And sort of general consensus.
Emerging -- on the mainstream media.
That Republicans had lied continuously.
And repeatedly.
And shamelessly.
In -- speech Tuesday particularly centered on Paul Ryan.
To the point where.
They do that they were calling it almost unanimously this is on all -- and that's.
They were kind of a truth free zone and what it is lie about what was.
This is what's so amazing -- they don't even pretend to be.
Objective anymore.
They said number one that deal about taking 700.
Billion out of Medicare.
And spending -- on Obama -- that is absolutely.
Completely true and they -- -- Ryan did the same thing Ryan did not do the same thing he took the money out he'd made the cuts in Medicare.
But he use that money.
To go into the Medicare trust fund so will be used for the future.
It's as if you were saving money on your child's education by sending him to public school is that a private school.
So you can save the money for college Obama did did the same thing but he didn't say that money for college he bought a jaguar.
That's the difference between what Obama did on that I do -- -- Because the issue is kind of complicated do you think the mainstream media's national media simply -- -- understand the issue in his buys a democratic talking points when you spit them out.
Or are they doing this consciously.
I think when you get to a complicated issue.
They're so used to and they live in the but the bubble of liberalism.
That's the air they breathe right that they find it easier to accepted -- -- actually go into the weeds as we do on Fox News.
Jim Angle a lot of the people on special report on your show other shows go into the weeds and show that this that isn't true and they did the same on welfare.
What the Obama administration.
It is absolutely undermines.
The central work requirement in welfare which was the triumph.
The 86 reform that it made inviolable.
The requirement of work first and what Obama -- -- in the HHS regulation.
Is to make that subject.
To the whims.
And the waivers.
The secretary of HHS.
Which was never intended in the law and is completely contrary.
To what the original -- fail which meant to do signed by Clinton in 1990.
Six -- and finally I don't know -- -- saw this but they had a tribute to Ted Kennedy just a few minutes ago.
Mom and I was startled because they used a dead guy.
Kennedy to attack Mitt Romney.
Instead of the listing all Kennedy's achievements they had a big portion of Kennedy debating Romney and basically calling him an idiot.
Kennedy collar -- -- -- when they were running has given the senate so the democratic -- -- dead guy could have attacked Romney I went into that good taste.
Know you've got an issue of -- it but you also have a trend.
You've got Obama -- depending on Clinton to endorse him.
You've got these ads were Clinton looks at the camera.
And says I had a good economy Obama's got the same ideas support him.
Obama has been in office for a full term and he's running on the Clinton economy.
He's riding on the Kennedy attacks he's running on nostalgia -- the fast.
And he has the audacity.
As he did over the weekend about saying that Romney is a man of the past and over the last century.
Charles Krauthammer who want -- well up.

Keep things cool in mint green
Mint green is set to be one of the biggest colours this spring – but be quick because it's not a colour you can wear into autumn and winter.
The reason this is such a seasonal trend is that it is so fresh and crisp. While it looks cool and bright in spring and summer, it can look cold and harsh in winter.
For ultimate summer styling, and a look that is perfect for the beach or lunch with friends, team mint with white or cream.
Add pale tan or nude accessories to soften the colour and make it really feminine.
Alternatively, mint works great with the current trend for candy colours. Be brave and mix it with shades you normally wouldn't, like the oyster pink Sherry statement dress.
Or keep things sophisticated by wearing a mint jacket over a black dress for work – like the Sigourney casual dress – and wear with silver accessories.

PROFILE of English playwright Tom Stoppard. Stoppard's family left their native Czechoslovakia when he was 2, in 1939, to escape the Nazis. They settled in England in 1946. Discusses his early profession as a journalist, first in Bristol, later in London. Discusses Stoppard's philosophical attitudes toward life and art, and how this is reflected in his plays. He affirms the relativity of all ideas at the same time he insists there exist moral absolutes, which ultimately derive from a deity. He also believes, strongly, in individualism, and while he used to proclaim detachment with philosophical fervor, he now recognizes that the freedom to express individual ideas comes up against limits imposed by totalitarian regimes. His most recent work, "Every Good Boy Deserves a Favour," is set in a Russian mental home for political dissidents. Draws parallels between the works of Czech playwright, Vaclav Havel, and Stoppard. Discusses his plays at length, citing passages from them and from critical evaluations of them. His career as a playwright began in 1960. Since 1963, when the first professional performance of a script by Stoppard was given, he has written one novel ("Lord Malquist and Mr. Moon"), 4 full length plays("A Walk on the Water," "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," "Jumpers," and "Travesties"), 1 miniplay("Dirty Linen"), 5 1-acters for the stage, and 10 pieces for radio or television. His plays have all put forth an absurdist vision, and, have depended heavily on characters and plots created by other writers. Quotes friends on Stoppard. Tells about visit to Prof. Alfred Ayer at Oxford, and Stoppard's pet prototypes, Moon & Boot.

Activities & Pursuits

Search and email remain the two online activities that are nearly universal among adult internet users, as 92% of online adults use search engines to find information on the Web, and a similar number (92%) use email. Since the Pew Internet Project began measuring adults' online activities in the last decade, these two behaviors have consistently ranked as the most popular, even as new platforms, broadband and mobile devices continue to reshape the way Americans use the internet and web. Even as early as 2002, more than eight in ten online adults were using search engines, and more than nine in ten online adults were emailing.Perhaps the most significant change over that time is that both activities have become more habitual. Today, roughly six in ten online adults engage in each of these activities on a typical day; in 2002, 49% of online adults used email each day, while just 29% used a search engine daily.
The search figures in this report come from a survey conducted from April 26-May 22 among 2,277 adults ages 18 and over, including surveys in English and Spanish and on landline and cell phones. The margin of error for the sample is plus or minus 2 percentage points. The email figures come from a survey conducted November 3-24, 2010 among 2,257 adults ages 18 and over, also conducted in both English and Spanish and using a dual-frame sample. The margin of error for the November survey is plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Rhiannon Beauregard (M.A. '07)
Rhiannon Beauregard Q & A:
What was your favorite class, who was your favorite professor, or what is your fondest memory of Hofstra?
My favorite professor at Hofstra University was by far Madeline Seifer. She was an amazing supervisor, mentor, and teacher. She was the director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic and, after I graduated, she hired me to be the assistant director of the same clinic. I learned so much from her about life and about being a good therapist and clinical supervisor. She provided me with the support and guidance that one could only wish to have in a supervisor and mentor. We still keep in touch to this day. It's professors like Madeline that make Hofstra University such a successful educational institution!
What was your first job after graduating from Hofstra, and what was the most valuable thing you learned there?
I had two jobs after graduating from Hofstra. I was hired as the assistant director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic, where I provided administrative and eventually clinical supervision to graduate student interns. I also worked full-time at Pal-O-Mine Equestrian, Inc., under Lisa Gatti in Islandia, NY, as a therapeutic horseback riding instructor, equine-assisted psychotherapist and teacher, grant writer, and basically a jack-of-all-trades. The most valuable thing that I learned at both of these jobs is how the guidance and mentoring of really supportive professionals can make your career. My supervisors took a personal interest in my success, and really supported and pushed me to advance myself in my career.
What is your field of specialty, and how did you come to work in the industry?
I have always had a few irons in the fire professionally. I guess I am never satisfied just doing one thing! I have always loved animals and believed in the power of animals to help humans and the power of humans to help animals, and I have always loved higher education and working with youth and college students. Their energy is always so inspiring. And I really love being a therapist, to help people heal, explore, learn, and grow to take care of themselves and be better people, especially in the areas of intimacy, sex, sexuality and sexual health. I feel like my field of specialty lies within all those areas.
Right now I work at the University of New Hampshire in Cooperative Extension as the New Hampshire 4-H Animal and Agricultural Science education coordinator, managing all the youth development programs in 4-H that focus on animal and agricultural science. I also maintain a small part-time private practice where I provide individual and relationship counseling focusing on sex therapy. I am very close to becoming a certified sex therapist and hope to focus my counseling work on that field, and I teach the graduate-level sex therapy class at the University of New Hampshire.
What advice would you give current Hofstra students?
I loved my time at Hofstra University. You get a lot of perks and opportunities when you go to a private university so close to New York City. I have a lot of advice for students (after all, I am a therapist!) but the biggest piece of advice would be to connect to a few professionals, whether professors, supervisors, mentors or bosses, and really develop strong relationships with them. I would be nothing in my career if it wasn't for the genuine and unsolicited interest of professionals who "took me under their wings" and helped me get to where I needed to be professionally. And with that being said, I hope to pay that forward to young professionals in my field. I am incredibly grateful for the connections I made while at Hofstra University.
In one word, how would you describe Hofstra?
Opportunities. I had a lot of opportunities at Hofstra that I am incredibly grateful for. Being so close to New York City and many other universities and colleges, Hofstra's location offered a lot of easy opportunities to develop myself professionally in my field and beyond. Also, Hofstra had great opportunities on campus with conferences and seminars. I always loved the Creative Arts Therapy Conference!
How do you balance work and life?
Constantly! I learned the hard way when I had major health issues before I was 30 that if you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else! I am very lucky to work at the University of New Hampshire, which really focuses on supporting its employees in having a good work-life balance. Because of all the opportunities and initiatives the University of New Hampshire has, I am able to balance my work and life well. I do a tremendous amount of self-care and constantly remind myself to work to live, not live to work!
How has your job influenced your mentality as a person?
As a therapist, it is impossible to not be influenced through my work. I am a passenger to major life changes that people are trying to make every day, and that inspires and challenges me to grow as a person as well. After all, you can only take your clients as far as you have gone or are willing to go yourself! My job has a major influence on who I am.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Where do you see your career progressing to in the future?
I hope to work for the University of New Hampshire for a very long time. I really enjoy working for such a fabulous institution that really cares about its employees. I hope to get my doctorate from the University of New Hampshire in experiential education, and eventually I hope to be doing work on an international scale, most likely in international sexual health or animal and agricultural science education. I would ideally like to bring what I have learned in my career to developing countries and make a difference on a bigger scale.

I want to approach the subject laterally, if I may, and that means going all the way back to my teenage years, my very first pair of jeans and very first tenting holiday without the family and with my best friend, a teenage apprentice barber who could play the guitar middling well and drink pints much better. We had a mighty few days until our cash ran out in Ballyvaughan near Black Head one Wednesday. Only two shillings left between us! So we did what thousands did over the years back then and went busking at the Cliffs of Moher.
The fabled Cliffs were a truly elemental sight back then. There were flocks of tourists arriving every hour, almost no facilities to cater for them, no car parks or cafes or anything like that, but the sheer majestic stark beauty was compulsive.
And there were always buskers like us and a few stray characters selling trinkets and ash plants and things like that. We began busking near the bare cliff edge, our backs against the big flagstones, and we had a great day altogether. A spontaneous thing.
He strummed the guitar and I sang ballads like "Clare's Dragoons" and "Matt Hyland" and "Will You Come to the Bower," and we collected more cash in four or five hours than we'd had in our pockets when leaving home.
I only busked once more in my lifetime as a journalistic exercise in Athenry, but the episode at the Cliffs was uniquely memorable ever afterwards. It happened out of the blue, out of our needy youth, and it was beautiful.

You could not repeat that today because today all the activities around the beauty spot are bureaucratically organized to the hilt. There is an expensive car park. There is an expensive visitor center. And, believe it or not, all the few musicians in action on the site are licensed operators who have undergone an examination of their skills.
It is becoming harder and harder to get a glimpse of the Cliffs at all with all the workings of bureaucracy now laden on top of them. That's a little bit hyperbolic, but not that much.
What has been done was necessary, I suppose, to serve today's tourism demands, but sadly a lot has been lost forever.
And that element is the alchemic thing, especially in the West of Ireland. When a government and its tourism agencies launch a marketing drive at the 70 million strong diaspora market across the world, but especially in the U.S. and Britain, and fund it generously, and deploy all the promotion devices, then the very heart and spontaneous soul and spirit of the Real Ireland...the Hidden Ireland...could get lost right from the beginning.
The Gathering is a drive to attract more international tourists and their spending power at a time when we need every penny we can raise. The Gathering, attempting to spread its media umbrella over about all our festivals (that will occur anyway!) will actually have the effect of making the real Ireland harder to discover.
Especially in the West from which so many of our lost generations have had to flee, right up to this very day, because of the failures of successive governments down all the years. There is a cruel irony here.
Government Minister Michael Ring sharply criticized Byrne's remarks calling The Gathering a scam. Ring called Byrne "unpatriotic." I strongly disagree.
Ring, from Mayo, who will never serve as a cultural ambassador himself for sure, is a member of the body politic which has never treated the citizens of the diaspora with any kind of respect or affection. Ireland is almost unique in the developed world in not allowing overseas citizens the right to vote in their beloved homeland, for example. That is a scandal.
The naked message now, as Byrne properly pointed out, is "come home to Ireland, come back for a Gathering and spend, spend, spend."
I got a couple of postcards (free!) from The Gathering organizers yesterday. I'm supposed to send them to family and friends overseas inviting them to partake of The Gathering next year.
When the state and its bureaucracy organize something like The Gathering mistakes are always made. Take our world-famed Irish music for example. It was always the folk music of the plain people. That's important.
In small country pubs the men who played the cheap fiddles and old timber flutes played them with broken, toilworn hands that looked a decade older than their owners. They were sometimes gifted and sometimes only adequate, but always the music expressed their real soul, real dreams and hopes, their deep-rooted love of their own place and, indeed, those who'd had to leave it behind of necessity.
And then, out of nowhere, the change of mood that shakes the foundations of the house with wild craic. The musicians of The Gathering will invariably be the nimble-fingered professionals of the modern era. They will have all the skills, they will hit all the notes on their expensive instruments, they will even "Yip" at the right point of the reel, but they will never reveal the true soul of the real Ireland I (and you?) so dearly love.
All of you are always welcome home of course, and you know that, but the reality is that any of you who visit in 2013 will have to work harder to find that genuine genetic thing that makes us different from the
rest of the world.
I'm not quite able to articulate the totality of my point of view that agrees with Byrne, but I have done my best.

Right on Cormac, good article. The craic dealers have indeed done Ireland no service. For those who wish to avoid 'Moher of Mammon' may I suggest the north Mayo coast: no paid parking, no visitor centre, no toilets but the great outdoors and a 850 foot drops into the Atlantic with seals at the bottom

Driver in Middlebury hit-and-run thinks of the pain he caused
Click here to view in a gallery.
Pasquale Rulli (Photo Supplied)
Rulli, 26, of Middlebury, was sentenced to 18 months on home detention through the community corrections program of Allen County, where he was living at the time of the accident. Phillip Miller, Rulli�s attorney, said if Rulli is not accepted at the Allen County community corrections program due to administrative reasons, he will receive home detention through the Elkhart County community corrections program.
Rulli was also sentenced to 18 months on reporting probation and 120 days on community service. His driver�s license was suspended for 3 1/2 years as part of the sentence as well.
Rulli was driving south on C.R. 35 on his way to Fort Wayne around 10:19 p.m. July 10, 2012, when he hit Zion Carlstrom, 17, who was riding her bike. Rulli continued driving until he reached Fort Wayne, according to court documents.
Rulli came forward to police the next day, and was charged a few months later with failure to stop and remain at scene of accident resulting in injury.
During Rulli�s sentencing hearing, which lasted about an hour and a half, Miller told the judge that while the community wanted to address the seriousness of Zion�s injuries, the focus on Rulli�s case was solely on his actions following the accident.
�Chase acknowledges Zion�s injuries,� he told the court. �He has thought of her daily and he thinks of the pain and struggles she and her family have gone through.�
Miller said Rulli was cooperative since the moment he contacted police.
�He regrets and is remorseful that he didn�t render assistance at the scene,� he said. �There is nothing that suggests there is a chance of him repeating the offense.�
However, Deputy Prosecutor Nathaniel Henson disagreed with Rulli�s level of cooperation.
Henson said Rulli contacted police 16 hours after the accident and that he refused to submit a chemical test.
Miller did explain to the court that he told Rulli not to agree to take the test because he didn�t have all the facts of the incident at the time.
Henson also entered photos of the car Rulli was driving when the accident happened. Henson told the judge the car received significant damage to the front right side of the car and to the windshield.
Rulli told the court he was ready to accept any sentence imposed.
�If I had known I would have stopped for her,� he said.
The Carlstrom family did not attend the hearing. Henson told the court that the family had decided to instead write letters to the court.
�Because of their position they don�t know what is an appropriate sentence,� he said during the hearing before the sentencing. �They hope justice is made today.�
The judge said he will reserve the issue of restitution for the time being, because Rulli is going through a civil case involving Zion as well.
The Carlstrom family filed a lawsuit against Rulli in September. In their complaint file, the family says Rulli had a duty to operate his vehicle in a �reasonable and safe manner,� a duty the file claims Rulli breached. The family is asking for Rulli to �compensate their damage.
�(The family has) suffered, and continues to suffer, damages and personal injuries, have incurred medical expenses, and will incur future medical expenses, the loss of enjoyment of life, mental anguish and emotional distress.�
Tracy Carlstrom, Zion�s mother, said Friday the family declined to comment on the hearing.
Zion continues to recover from the accident. She was able to go back to school in October, but she has a tight schedule with classes and therapy sessions.

Insiders Dumping Shares Of Sanchez Energy
Insiders have been dumping shares of Sanchez Energy lately.
Institutions have also dumped shares to the tune of a whopping 5% decrease in holdings.
In the past six months insiders have dumped over a quarter million shares on the market.
Thus, if you happen to hold shares in SN and have ridden the stock price up to 30, now may be a good time to lock in your profits like the owners appear to be doing.
Gas prices will likely remain depressed in the U.S for a number of years with all the new production coming on line. In Texas they are flaring so much gas due to overproduction that it ought to be considered an environmental crime, but that's another story for another day.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a short position in SN over the next 72 hours.

Cobalt International Energy: Where's The Oil? Has Goldman Sachs Pulled Off The Con Of The Century?
After watching Cobalt International Energy (CIE) rise to a new 52 week high back in May I have begun to ponder a question that has been whispering to me in the back of my mind for some time now; Where's the oil?
According to all available press releases, production from Cobalt International Energy's Angola's wells is due to come to fruition in 2016.
I actually bought some shares of cobalt at around 9 bucks per share and sold out at 21 after having discovered this obscure oil company buried in Goldman Sachs' 13F filing back in the fall of 2011.
Since that time the shares plowed even higher to $34 bucks a share and then dropped back down to around $26 earlier this year as Goldman Sachs and their original partner The Carlyle Group reduced their initial stake in the company by 90 million shares.
Click here to read an article I wrote on Cobalt back in 2011 for Seeking Alpha.
However, since that time I watched a great movie called The Way We Live Right Now which is based on a rather famous 19th Century novel written by Anthony Trollope entitled The Way We Live Now in which a con man and stock promoter by the name of August Melmott takes London by storm pitching a railroad he champions to be built that will run from Salt Lake City to Veracruz, Mexico...a railroad as it turns out that he never intends build in the first place. The young and enthusiastic engineer Paul Montague who pitched the project to Melmott really believes there will be a railroad and packs off to Mexico to start construction only to learn that Melmott has other ideas for the capital he raised from London's upper crust gentry.
Click here to read the plot on Wikipedia.
And yes, this movie got me to thinking...could it be possible to pull off such a con in the 21st Century? Cobalt International Energy immediately came to mind. Why? Because the whole operation from the get-go has been mired in international intrigue and sketchy politics that involve government wheel greasing that would land most company executives in the penitentiary.
Has Goldman Sachs pulled off the con of the century with Cobalt International Energy? Is there really oil at the bottom of the ocean in Angola? I am beginning to wonder if Goldman Sachs is not just "taking a piss" on the investing public as the British would phrase it.
It would be quite easy to pull off as the company is new and the employees seem to have been hand-picked for the job.
Only time will tell. But if you wish to be entertained, you may be interested in watching a great movie while you are waiting for your oil well to come in.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Presented to: Anne Perry
For: The Sins of the Wolf
Anne Perry's Victorian mystery The Sins of the Wolf calls out for a fireplace, a long winter's night, and a reader with the pleasure of time. The matriarch of a prominent Edinburgh family has been poisoned and her nurse charged. But it soon becomes clear that mother has been murdered by one of her own children, or one of their spouses. This is then a novel about family values, albeit with an unsettling twist. With invention and skill, Perry leads her reader along the convoluted path to truth, revealing at each turn the myriad secrets and evasions around which this extended family is structured. Near the novel's end, the nurse heroine and her detective friend find themselves literally locked in a secret room hidden within the family's publishing establishment, the center of a lawless and deceiving enterprise guarded by the family's aloof and respectable public face.
No easy, happy view of family life here, but neither a picture without parallel moments of grace and dignity and love. All this good, if harrowing, fun served up against the richly-drawn backdrop of Victorian London and Edinburgh (complete with testimony at the sensational trial by Florence Nightingale). And throughout, Perry weaves in lures about earlier stories and future prospects for nurse and detective. Closing the pages of The Sins of the Wolf, a reader can only find herself on the way to the bookstore and more Anne Perry.

Great rack for the yards, epoxy coated so it should not rust. But if you are close to the ocean with salty air, even stainless steel will rust. Easy to put together, can be done with one person but two will be much better and three is ideal . After the first shelf is installed, the others are a breeze. Just make sure you put the plastic spacers on the same position/groves/ on all posts, or it will be a real hassle to remove the shelf and redo it it again, worse, may damage the positioning slots mollded on the oinside of the spacer. They are fairly expensive to replace.
Very nice shelf with a coating for outdoor use. You have the choice of using the wheels or not which is very nice. You'll need two people to assemble...at least to get it started. Once the four poles are up and the bottom shelf is attached, it's quick and easy for one person to finish!! We have ours on the back patio and just LOVE it!!
For the price, this 5 rack shelving unit is great. I did a Net price cross comparison & "O" had the best price. After all, it's a shelving unit . Works as you would expect.
These are great, easy to put together, sturdy. Just what I needed
They came two days after notice they were shipped. That's very fast from CA to Northern MT by UPS. They were boxed nice enough though two bags holding some of the parts broke in two of the units all the parts were there. No damage to the shelves or the poles. Two of us went right to work putting these together and took us about 3 hours total if not less. We took a lunch break so lost track of exact time. They are heavy and we used a hand truck to take down into a 12 foot high basement where they will reside to hold junk from attic eventually. They are what we wanted. These are particularly great heavy duty units. Not your average cheaper ones. They are painted a soft grey/gray which fits nicely in the basement but honestly they could be black or green or red for all we care. We set them up all to have the same height for the shelves across all 5. I may buy more in the future but wanted to see how these 4 foot by 18 inch ones would fit. They don't tell you but there are inserts that allow you to split the two part 36 in pole in two so you can have two side by side units one on casters one on the floor with the provided feet and screw in inserts to do that. They also provide one extra set of plastic sleeves that hold the shelves in position to the poles. This means we have enough for an extra shelf as you need four per shelf. We've had some experience putting similar units together but this is at home and the other one was a specialized one set up with grow lights to start our garden plants. And they both are rated for outdoor use. We have a dry climate and basement up here in fact our floor is a raised wood floor they will roll around on in the basement so we didn't think twice about using there. But I wouldn't probably use this system in a wet or humid climate such as we have in the midwest. Lived there too...and watched a freezer we'd had over 30 years turn to rust within just 3 years in a midwest basement compared to MO and CO previous no rusting ever. But I have no reason to use outdoors and not sure why people would but perhaps you could make a silcone ring to go around the middle of the poles were they screw together. Overall this is extremely well made. Very sturdy once put together. Very happy with them and very strong shelves. No damage in shipping to any of it. Two of the boxes managed to get a minor hole but again nothing was lost in transit. Kudo's to the seller and Overstock both.
The product is excellent and the delivery was great... I love it... Like I said I want to purchase more. Everything is my garage is organized perfectly accept I just need one more rack. Everyone should have one of these! When I want to clean my garage now I just roll the racks out and clean behind them and it turns a 3 hour garage cleaning time into 25 minutes.
Nice, heavy duty shelving unit. Easy to assemble without requiring lots of time for assembly. I really like having the choice between a stationary unit or wheels. Will hold lots of stuff and is great for garages (where I have mine). I highly recommend this product.
This is a great unit for storing. Excellent for the garage or if you need to store anything in the house or pantry. Love that it has wheels which makes it easier to move. Happy with this purchase.
this arrived on time not damaged and was very easy to put together. i am a 59 year old woman and did it by myself in the garage.. the quality is great and i would recommend this shelf if u are thinking of a purchase. you will be totally satisfied, am sure..overall from order to delivery all went wonderful.
The uints were well packaged and of good quality. I would buy again, but only when a weekend discount is offered with free shipping. Then it becomes a super deal. The shelves are great for garage storage. You can't go wrong with this buy.

Fleet But Fatally Fragile
After witnessing a horse pull up lame while at the racetrack, reporter John Tedesco overheard a security guard noting that the horse would likely be "put down." Spurred by this, Tedesco researched how often racehorses suffer this tragic fate, and discovered more than just statistics. The story details how "performance-enhancing medications, both legal and illegal, are routinely administered to the majestic animals."

Can i ask someone who have now the game installed with the patch 1.3 to battle the Kayran and when that mini cutscenes starts when Geralt cuts the Kayran's tentacles is rendered in 30fps, and when that ends(aprox. 7 seconds) the game starts to render at normal speed, 60 fps.
This bug is somehow fixed in patch 1.3 ? I don't have right now the game installed, so i can't test.
