Economy hotel, clean and comfortable, free parking(park by the street side), close to Stresa town center (just 2 minutes walk), helpful staff, quiet(far from main street).
Wifi doesn't work for a whole day on Sunday, iron and ironing board were not available
Handy for the lake, town and the railway station.
Good location in town, good breakfast, value for money accommodation.
when we arrive we were pleasantly surprised to be put into flats next door. One for one person, and another for 2 of us, as we had booked 2 bedrooms, a double for single occupancy, so she had a flat all to herself, and a twin, for the other 2 of us. We had a nice little balcony and large bathrooms, kitchen with all the facilities, and all had a large bed each! We just went next door to the hotel for breakfast, and to the sun terrace if we wanted to relax on the sun loungers.
Value for money this is an absolute winner. Good, clean, comfortable and modern. Breakfast were wholesome with great choice. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Location was great. The 3 course dinner on offer, which was very reasonably priced, was tasty with a number of options with each course. We were delighted with our choice and would recommend!
Pillows were terrible! Hopefully management will read this, and replace their pillows as this was the only negative to our stay.
Nice apartment belonging to the hotel, perfect for families with 2 kids or 3 like us if you take a baby cot. Ideally located
A bit noisy at night.
Excellent breakfast and dinner, good location, friendly and helpful staff.
For families, Hotel Meeting has appartment style rooms in the next door building and they are excellent - with kitchen facilities including dishwasher, fridge and freezer and table and chairs. Sofa bed in living area was two individual beds in the one sofa. Wished we were staying longer.
Great hotel in city centre...
Wi-fi not working
Well centered compared to the city center & the train station. Buffet for breakfast, nice personnel.
Wifi was not coming until our room (last one in the corridor). Hair on the bathroom floor but expect that room was clean
Broken shower and shutters which couldn't be closed
Cold coffee for breakfast
The hotel was very clean The hotel was recently renewed (very comfortable room) The staff was very nice
The air in the room during the night was very dry (even with the window open) People in the corridor were making noise during the night
very friendly hotel very good service and food, very comfotable and clean room, staff very friendly and helpful. very beautiful resort.
all good

I've been owned by cats because I was a little one. I utilized to breed and show cats and I still rescue feral cats. The encounter has taught me that most "mean kitties" are misunderstood, not imply. Each one of the several instances I have been scratched or bitten by a cat, the cat had a great purpose for it. It's not all about you … learn why a cat does what it does, quit provoking the "mean" actions, and you gained't be applying bandages and whining about your imply, terrible cat.
I've yet to make massive bucks doing surveys. Theoretically you can generate hundreds of bucks an hour but who can invest 8 hours a day doing surveys? I've located with the 50 % dozen survey web sites I've tried out out that I get sent about one-2 surveys a week that generate about $3-$5 each – not exactly massive income! If you're looking for a interest that only requires a number of hours a week and offers you some further pocket cash surveys could be for you.

A witness told the International Criminal Court (ICC) Joshua arap Sang used to broadcast messages of peace and advocate for the Kalenjin to coexist with people from other ethnic groups, while also broadcasting messages inciting the Kalenjin against the Kikuyu.
Witness 800 said this while being cross-examined by Sang's lawyer, Joseph Kipchumba Kigen-Katwa on Wednesday.

I always have at least two family functions, so I try and eat just a bit at both. Christmas is even worse because there are usually about four different "dinners" to go to. Lots of gym time!

Same here Tori! I was surprised that tofurkey has almost 100 calories more than dark meat!

Wow, I am SHOCKED that tofurkey has so many calories!!! You'd think it would be the best! I'm a vegetarian, but I get more than full on the side dishes alone, so no need for any kind of turkey replacement!

I guess I'm lucky because I typically don't like the food served at traditional Turkey day meals so I don't eat much. I don't like mashed potatoes, green bean casserole or buns. I pick at the turkey, eat salad and indulge in a piece of pumpkin pie!
filmgirl81 5 years
I overestimated all the calories, so now I feel better. I tend to compensate for Thanksgiving by eating really healthy and exercising a lot the week prior to and the week after Thanksgiving. On the day of, I exercise a lot, and eat cottage cheese and fruit for breakfast and lunch. Then I make sure to stuff my plate with dressing-less salad and roasted veggies, and less than a quarter serving of the other sides. The only thing I kind of splurge on is dessert since pie is something I never eat for the rest of the year.

It all comes back to the Opera House: Five years ago Metropolis could have helped re-open a Kennedy Center downtown. Downtown was their proper focus until they were "lured away." St. Louis would be celebrating a real downtown. Young, talented people would be beating down Metropolis' door. Instead Metropolis sold out to Danforth, Fleming, Reeves, for places at the shrinking civic-issues table and airline tickets for junkets to other cities. Leadership and success was before them. They were invited to greatness. They chose inclusion and tokenism.
Denver celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Denver Performing Arts Center -- a primary catalyst for downtown Denver revitalization. Kiel remains dark, and Metropolis "searches" for something. Its moment of truth was five years ago.

My wife and I, along with our two daughters ages 4 and 22 months, just got back from our Disney Cruise and we loved it.
We had done a Disney World trip last year and I didn't want to go that route again, as I find cruising more relaxing ...continue
I don't know if I was expecting too much, but I was disappointed. Something's were just not up to Disney standards some just not acceptable. I love Disney parks and always think nothing else compares, but not so with the cruise ...continue
This was my third cruise, the first one on Disney. Traveled with my husband and our four year old daughter. Loved every minute of it.
First of all, the cleanliness of the ship is phenomenal. Our steward, Noel, kept our cabin immaculate ...continue

The idea is really good and I like it.
Plus it is not so much to ask one single payment of $20, and it will be for our own benefit (members). Removing the adds would be amazing... however... those "annoying" adds are what reduce the costs for DB. But yet he gives the option of removing those just for $20.
On the other hand I understand those that do not have access to money yet... (well even I do have access... I don't have much of it ^_^;; ). Believe me I do understand... and I know that DB understands that too 'cos he is adding a free removal just by sending him the links...
I think that's a fair deal. Also I think it is a way to support the site ^_^... and I re-state this... it is a benefit for us (members). It is only one payment of a minimum amount of money... and you don't have to... it is if you want to remove the adds... and yet there is a free option. ^_^
Nothing less from Pyro ^_^ Great Sig ^_^ THANK YOU!!!!"show me.... THE BEAST!!!" The Beauty and the Beast movie

Like I've said in a previous post: Pre-Paid credit cards are very easy to get a hold of. If you're under 18, you can get your parents to get one for you, and if you don't have money, there is only one solution to that and its going to be painfully obvious: Get A Job. Pure and simple.
I bought my first computer working at McDonald's. Its not that hard to make a lot of money in a short amount of time. Especially when you're young and you have no expenses like rent, car loan, groceries and bills.
My question is this "is it requiring for anyone to pay 20USD everytime you wish to remove ads?"
Magic intervenes when there is love in first sight.

is there a reason the ads need to interrupt threads? I mean, other than to be obnoxious and force users to pay you $20 for a site they provide all the content for anyway? :P
It's one thing to offer an option to remove the banners and leave them where they've always been. Sticking them in a new, far more disruptive place serves no purpose but to make the site incredibly obnoxious for those of us who won't fork over the cash.
I've donated more than enough money and time to this site already... I admit, I'm a bit insulted. I think there are others here without the mod status who also have the right to feel a little betrayed.
As for the "Running cost" schpiel. This site passed through 3 other owners: none implemented thread-intrusive advertisements... and they all seemed to think the site would make them enough money to purchase it in the first place in spite of not having been long-term users or people we'd ever even heard of. People don't run sites like this out of the goodness of their own hearts. They run them to make money. I'm curious to know the ACTUAL bill involved with this site's operation and how much revenue it generates by selling advertising space/promotions/etc.
If bandwith is indeed such a problem, it would be easily throttled just by denying gallery access to non-members.
I find it hard to believe that DB is running this site out of charity... or that he doesn't intend to make a profit if he possibly can.
And while there's nothing wrong with that: if he wants members to provide the content he's going to sell -- he should find a way to sell that content without stepping on members toes (or they will stop providing it at all).
As for alternatives which have worked for other sites (and this one in the past):
-partnerships/sponsorship with/from relevant advertisers
-collections to pay the ACTUAL server fee (ie. users are given the option of donating money directly to the service provider)
-auctions of donated items
-general donations (which are rewarded with "contributor" status bars or other profile bling)

If the ads don't interrupt the threads, then what's the point of having ads? To hide in the corner and make no impact?
If you wont fork over the $20, then you can always get a back link into AO and the ads will be removed. I do offer a non-monetary means of removing the ads. It's simple give and take, rather than take take take. Simple.Originally Posted by tsurara
Thank you for your time and money. It is appreciated. You shouldn't be seeing the ads anyhow as you're a mod. Mods do not see the ads.Originally Posted by tsurara
I'm seeing them now.Originally Posted by Dragon Ball
And reguardless of whether I see the ads or not, deceptive/intrusive advertising WILL discourage intelligent users from sticking around here.
Frankly, there are too many other places, just as good, to hang out... and they haven't got ads in the middle of every page.
This WILL backfire in terms of forum quality and morale. They did the same thing on Gamefaqs last year and reversed it in 8 hours because so many people were so unhappy.
On a site with so few users to begin with, we should be doing all we can to make membership MORE appealing; not more annoying/expensive.
As for take-take-take... I think as a free translator, scanner and owner of an ad-free website that costs over $300 a year to host: I know all about it. This site "takes" quite a lot from me too. Magazines are not free, nor is my time. That's the way fandom works now, unfortunately. But you win more flies with honey than vinegar.
I would gladly pay $20 if I thought it would be used to improve this site. But I haven't seen enough improvement here to give me that confidence.
This site WAS improving... gradually... but this is a step in the wrong direction.

The picture depicts a rug with the hand knotted fringe on each end. It did not come with the fringe, and I expected a higher quality rug from the description "hand-knotted", but they must be bigger knots. The pattern all had very square edges- poor detail like it was on a much wider backing than the hand knotted rugs I have purchased before. Luckily, Overstock was easy to work with and I was able to send it back without a charge.

Okay, I'll admit it. Sometimes I'm directionally challenged. I could get lost in an elevator or go the wrong way on an escalator.
No matter what age you may be, the experience of being lost is the same for everyone: complete and utter hopelessness.

But how I found myself lost in the middle of a crowd of over a thousand strangers, out of breath, and weeping…well, that's the end of this story. Here's the beginning: Read More»

Mindful Leadership
Harvard Business Review Article: Your Car Commute Is a Chance to Practice Mindfulness
I recently wrote an article for the Harvard Business Review entitled: Your Car Commute Is a Chance to Practice Mindfulness.
One of the concerns people at times express is that they have insufficient time to practice Mindfulness on a regular basis. My intention in writing this article was to illustrate clearly, that the opportunity to practice is available to us every day. Whether we are commuting to work by car or driving to run errands there is a wonderful opportunity to apply a technique, that in essence can become our formal practice for the day.
I hope you enjoy the article

What Does it Mean to "Abide in a State of Gratitude"?
"I abide in a state of Gratitude" are Stings's last words on his DVD, Sting the Last Ship. This was a benefit concert at The Public Theatre in New York City. "The Last Ship" features Sting joined by 14 musicians performing original songs from his critically-acclaimed album and Broadway musical of the same name.
The statement is profound. He is referring to his childhood in a small north England town whose main business was a shipyard. It was difficult and dangerous work. It was the main place of employment for the men in the area. A place where few left and did anything different. And for Sting, it shaped his deep desire to do something different, his music and his life. And he considers himself "grateful" because he is fiercely proud of the strength and grit it took to live that life and what it gave him.
But to say that one "abides in Gratitude" goes far beyond being grateful. It implies being grateful, no matter what the circumstances. It means that when life presents difficulties, one can still live or abide in that state of Gratitude, for what one has. It is very much akin to a state of "happiness without condition" or a state of equanimity.
And how does one experience this kind of gratitude? This kind of gratitude can be cultivated, and in so doing it can transform your life. If this speaks to you, try it for a week or so. Take moments throughout the day to acknowledge that for which you are grateful. Some days it will be big things and other days only small things. And, yet, other days that are really difficult you will need to dig deeper, and perhaps merely be grateful for being alive or being able to breathe, or having food to eat and a roof over your head.
It means not taking anything for granted. And why is this important or even meaningful? Because everything we have moment by moment is a gift, a blessing and it can be taken away without notice. That is the law of impermanence, what is here now may not be here in the next breath. And absolutely nothing other than our Divinity is our birthright. And our Divinity is merely our life force, the magic spark within us all. More on this some other time…
So, take a moment now and just notice what is around you. What are you grateful for right now? And now abide in that Gratitude and let it inspire you for the rest of the day.

If You Want to Be Heard, Speak with Compassion
Tone plays a huge role in the ability of others to "hear" our message. When we speak in a harsh or disinterested tone our message is not "heard". In fact, under those circumstances, people tend to experience "feel" which means that they start to focus on the chatter in their heads, rather than listening to what is being said.
On the other hand, when we speak with compassion, others are more likely to be drawn into what we are attempting to convey, and our message is more likely to be heard, as it is intended.
When we speak with compassion, the message we are conveying is that "the other person matters", and that alone, consciously or otherwise, endears us to the other person. Now, it goes without saying that our compassion needs to be authentic. Compassion assumes a real interest in the other person. We care what they think and how they feel. We are there to be of service with every interaction. That is implicit in every effective form of communication.
So if you want your message "heard", make sure you deeply care for the person with whom you are speaking, no matter who they are.

Discovering One's Purpose in Life
Discovering one's purpose in life is one the greatest concerns people express. I have met many people who are extremely successful by external standards, but for them something is missing. They don't feel fulfilled, as if there is something they are "meant to do", but they haven't discovered it. This can cause great angst and create a sense of incompleteness.
I too had that experience. In my late twenties and early thirties I had a strong sense that I was on this earth for a purpose. But, I had no idea what that purpose was. I had great concern that I would come to the end of my natural life and that I would not have discovered why I was here.
This issue is so prevalent that I wrote a chapter in Mindful Leadership to address it. It is incredibly satisfying when we start to have a sense of what we are "meant" to do. In my view, we are all here to fulfill a Divine purpose, something only we can do. And the way we can begin to uncover and discover what that might be is quite simple. It requires some reflection and a lot of stillness. It's in that stillness that the insights arise.
The answer for each of us lies in the connection between our gifts and our passions. We all do some things really well. Some of these things we may not particularly enjoy. But, we do them anyways. Yet, there are other things we do very well and we love to do them. These are the things we are passionate about. When we discover those things, it seems as if we can do them tirelessly.
The last piece of the puzzle is that as we use these gifts that we are passionate about, we feel tremendous joy. Our work becomes effortless effort. There is a rhythm to the way we complete the act of whatever we are doing. And we do it in the service of all, for its own sake.
This is what it is to "discover one's purpose". We do it for our sake. And at the same time, our purpose becomes a gift to everyone.

The Impact of One Person's Kindness
I recently witnessed something beautiful and wanted to share it.
A young man got on the streetcar in front of me and he was using a walker. He was clearly in severe pain.
As he climbed up the steps with his walker, an elderly man sitting in one of the front seats, got up and told him to sit. Then another young fellow who had been sitting behind the elderly man got up to give him his seat, and so it went for another 3 people doing the same, giving their seats for others, in need.
It all happened in less than two minutes and it was a thing of such compassion that it was truly beautiful.
A real blessing to witness. It brought tears of joy to my eyes…. a gift I wanted to share. It was pure Grace.
As I stood in my spot and looked around I noticed that a real calm had come over the streetcar. These acts of kindness had impacted everyone who had noticed. It seemed like a gentler place. And as people later got off at subsequent stops, they appeared more present, kinder. There was no pushing to "get out first". Suddenly there was a distinct civility. There were more smiles.
All this because one elderly man, out of kindness, gave his seat to a young man who was struggling and in pain.
That was a true Mindful leader. Compassion is one of the 9 Ways to be a Mindful Leader. And a leader is anyone who is in a position to influence another person for any period of time. When we exhibit kindness or compassion towards one person, not only do we impact that person, but we positively impact and inspire countless others.

You Know You Are Wearing Down When…
You may find yourself really looking forward to a vacation and some time off, to the completion of an assignment or some other milestone, but at the same time you notice that you are feeling cranky or impatient. What you are looking forward to is something positive, but you know that in order to get to that point there is a lot left to complete. As time goes on you seem to be less efficient and feel increasingly stressed.
At times like this you know you are wearing down. Although you may feel you are working towards a deadline, the wisest thing to do is to take a step back…take a breath. Give yourself the time to regroup so that you can do what you are doing Mindfully. This is the time to become aware of the present moment. Chances are that if you are stressed and impatient you are not in this moment. You are in the moment that says, "I'll never meet this deadline; I need this break so badly, but what I need to do to take a break makes it almost not worthwhile; I never handle these situations well; This always happens to me…."
What goes on in the mind in those moments tends to be judgmental, harsh, lacking in self compassion and unforgiving. You have taken yourself out of the present moment and in so doing you are becoming less effective and less efficient.
So, here is a strategy you may wish to try next time you experience this sort of angst. Take a breath and make a conscious choice to take a break…a break to come back to the present moment. All you need are 5-10 minutes. Take a walk and walk Mindfully. Sit and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, outside if you can, and drink it Mindfully. Get some fresh air, a change of scenery. Listen to one or two pieces of music. Most songs are no longer than 3-4 minutes each. But really listen to the music.
This time out enables you to come back to what you need to complete, regenerated. To be in the present moment is actually very relaxing and as you relax, you calm the nervous system. This enables you to "reboot" the system and resume your work in a positive and Mindful way.

When in Doubt Open Your Heart
There are times that we are at a loss for what to say or what to do. Someone may be telling us something that may be painful to them and perhaps painful for us to hear.
The habitual tendency may be to change the subject, to make them laugh, to distract them. These may be the only strategies that come to mind.
But, there is an alternative. The greatest gift you can give another person is to listen with an open heart. So when in doubt open the heart. Just listen to what they are saying and do nothing. It may happen that you are spontaneously moved to wish them well or send them positive thoughts. That is what it is to experience compassion.
It may equally occur that you are just present, just still, just silent. It takes great courage to listen to someone's pain in that way. There is great wisdom and great strength in that silence. There is a peace that comes with deep silence. That is the silence of an open heart. And in that opening of the heart you are contributing to healing…healing the other person and healing yourself.
You see, because we are all one, whatever you do for another, you do for yourself.

Meditate This! A Podcast on Mindfulness & Mindful Leadership
I hope you are well and enjoying the beginning of summer.
Recently, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Peter Falker and Jason Hollander, who are from Minnesota and New York City, respectively. Peter is an entrepreneur in the investment business and Jason is in public affairs at New York University. They are two very interesting and funny guys who are intrigued by Mindfulness, discovered its benefits and wanted to share it with the world. Jason and Peter have chosen to communicate Mindfulness in an accessible and down to earth way with humour and insight. So, they created a Podcast called: Meditate This! In their words, the aim is to "interview some of the world's experts on the art and science of living mindfully—through meditation and other means. Neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers, authors, entrepreneurs, and artists will give their take on what it's all about".
In our interview we talked about Mindfulness and Mindful Leadership, including how it benefits our lives, as well as, the corporate benefits. And most importantly, we discussed how to apply Mindfulness in our everyday lives, both personally and professionally. You can check out the interview which is in two parts: https://meditatethispodcast.squarespace.com/gonzalez
They have also interviewed a number of other people including, Richie Davidson, a world renowned neuroscientist and pioneer in Mindfulness research, as well as Sharon Salzberg, best-selling author and meditation teacher. Here is the link: https://meditatethispodcast.squarespace.com
You can also download the interviews on iTunes
At launch they received an unexpected shout-out from Deepak Chopra! How great is that!
I hope you enjoy these Podcasts as much and I do, and if you do, spread the word.
Have a great summer.

An Act of Kindness Can Change the World…
An act of kindness can change the world…especially your world. There are few words to describe the impact of such an act. It may be random; it may be deliberate. The act may seem small. But, we never know whose heart we touch and the impact we have. And in so doing, what we may not immediately realize is that with each kindness, we are creating a "reservoir of happiness" within ourselves. Our Spirit knows when we have done something for another, been kind, been of service, and the only possible outcome is happiness. It is a joy that wells up within the being and can not help but be shared. Because what else could one possibly do with happiness? In fact, when we share happiness it grows. And as we share it, the world we touch changes and our world changes.
Thai Life Insurance has created a beautiful commercial that illustrates this perfectly. Words are unnecessary. The message is crystal clear. My suggestion is to meditate as you are watching. Be fully present and aware, to the best of your ability. And in so doing, you will witness an incredible Mindful leader!
I would like to thank Daria Love for passing along this link.

How to De-Stress: Don't Let Your Ego Rule Your World
Allowing your ego to dictate how you think and feel can be an enormous source of stress. But what does that really mean? And how does that happen?
The ego is not who or what you really are. The ego is merely a combination of habitual patterns that have evolved over a lifetime. These patterns dictate how you think and feel moment by moment. They create enormous pressure because they cause you to live up to expectations that may make no sense or be in any way useful.
Here's an example, some around you may think that having a particular car or a certain size of home is important. In fact, that view may be so prevalent that you consider it to be true. It may also be that certain positions or organizations are considered to have greater status, or certain schools for your children may be more desirable. Certain vacations may seem a necessity, and the list goes on.
The point is not whether any of this is right or wrong. That is irrelevant. The point is that if these things matter to you only because others think they are important, but you are potentially ambivalent about them, then that is "the ego ruling your world". And that, over time causes great stress. It may cause you to move further away from what really matters to you. Then suddenly you wake up one day and don't know who you are.
A Mindful way to deal with this to examine your "wants" or "requirements" in life and say, "does this matter to me"? Am I doing this for myself? If others did not consider this or that important, would it still be of interest to me? And as you ask these questions, pay attention to the message your body is giving you. Does the body become happy and excited, or does it feel burdened? By listening and watching the body you will become increasingly aware of who and what you are, and what matters most to you.
And that means that "you rule your world", not your ego.

I just found this post yesterday and I'm trying to hack the coors light version. I had to cut a little bit off to try and get the street elbow in. My question is that after I removed the pin and all the plastics from inside there is a visible gap where I'm pretty sure CO2 will leak. How did you compensate for this? Do you put the cartridge back in?
Sounds like you didn't get the pipe in all the way. Can you post a picture?
I'm getting ready to hook mine up to CO2 as well, this is definitely a different approach than the ones I've seen so far.
On Deck: Chav Irish Red
Pipe Dreams: Chai Porter
Primary #1: Empty
Primary #2: Empty
Primary #3: Imperial Oatmeal Stout
Bottle Conditioning/Drinking: Brown Porter, Pale blonde session ale
I have a coors lite home draft system as well that needs hacking. Im looking forward to hearing what kind of luck you guys have with this. I dumped the coors lite, sterilized it, and filled it with my brew so the co2 is still functional. I will need to figure out what approach to go with after I drink it though. I know, I dumped the coors lite but I hate that crap and I still came out ahead with the tap system
I hooked up co2 today and filled the bottle with water. Water is leaking back out right by the old co2 cartridge. I think i drilled out too much or didnt put something back in. Can the OP post a picture of a coors light hack? I think the coors one is different than the miller
Heres what mine looks like:
I don't own one of these so I'm not sure if it can be done, but to me the simplest option is to drill a hole in a empty co2 cartridge and weld on a pipe thread fitting to connect a standard barb and line. Any reason that can't be done ?
Here is my solution. There is a Grainger close to my house so I go there, but you can probably find the same connectors at McMaster Carr. I choose the 1/8 NMPT thread so that I don't have to alter the black plastic cartridge holder. I drill and tap the end of a spent cartridge then use some 5 minute epoxy when threading in a coupler to create a seal. Since the wall of the cartridge is so thin plumbers tape won't make a good seal. I like the epoxy rather than a weld because I can still take it apart should I choose to change ends.
1/4 air chuck (air tool) end.
1/4 MFL fitting end (same thing as the fitting for my cornie disconnects).
1/4 Poly barb. I also have a 1/4 brass barb but no pic handy.

- The Women's Movement was extremely effective
- Before the movements kicked in, women had no legal right in their marriage over their own children – the husband has sole rights
- Infant Custody Acts (1873, 1886)
- For the first time, gave mothers certain rights over their children

- The paper received 27,000 letters, ranging from enthusiasm to dissatisfaction
- Mona Caird (1854-1932)
- Saw herself as a progressive feminist and thought the women's movement was too conservative
- Publishes a journal article in the Westminster Review earlier in the month (before the question was asked) titled "Marriage"
- She states that marriage, in its present state, is a failure
- She asks why, in marriage, they are stuck with an antiquated law and women are always on the losing end
- She thinks about marriage as a form of legalized prostitution – marriage is the only career choice for a women who could not earn admittance into a higher education institution, and the only way out of the parental home
- During this time, a newspaper often had stories about Jack the Ripper on one half, and a raging debate about marriage on the other half
- When a woman marries, she gives up all legal rights to her own body

- He sues his wife for restitution for conjugal rights
- In 1891, as she's leaving church, two accomplices set up by her husband bundle her into a carriage and take her to her husband, where he locks her into his bedroom
- Her sisters countersuit for the return of her body, and this gets taken to a higher court
- "Where a wife refuses to live with her husband, he is not entitled to keep her in confinement in order to enforce restitution of conjugal rights."
- When Emily left court, there was a massive crowd of mostly men booing and jeering at her because of the judgment; mainstream conservative newspapers claimed that this is the end of marriage in this country as we know it

K. H. Kim's 14th Biannual Taekwondo Tournament
Earlier today, I checked in on Google+ letting you guys know that I was at a taekwondo tournament: Unfortunately, once the actual tournament began, I was walking around the entire time checking on our students and watching their events, and didn't really get a chance to take many photos. However, I did get a few from before the tournament started. Our martial arts academy was responsible for doing the demonstration for the opening ceremony; this is the massive pile of bricks to be broken during the ceremony, and the cinder blocks to hold them up. Of course, right as the students arrive, what else would they do except sit in a row on their phones and laptops? I think he was playing Minecraft on his laptop … lol These last two photos show three student members of the demo team practicing and preparing for the demonstration. A lot of parents were there taking photos and videos, so hopefully I can manage to get a hold of some of them.
Stream VOD: Double XP Weekend – Training Smithing and Combat
Leveling up Smithing and various combat stats during Double XP Weekend on RuneScape. Source: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_0EfJzv2lGI&list=PLKQUciHiP2v40y-lKj6dkjyqEcGmsu5yV
Screenshot: The aftermath of the first day of Double XP Weekend
After a day of double experience, I managed to go up eight Smithing levels, one Herblore level, and one Mining level. For Smithing, I started by attempting to smelt Gold Ore, then realized that the experience bonus from the Goldsmithing Gauntlets doesn't stack with the double experience bonus. So, I changed my plan and decided to use up a bunch of Adamant Bars I had stored in my bank. Upon hitting level 85, I used 250 Protean Bars I had saved up that I won from Treasure Hunter a while back, then headed over to the Grand Exchange to purchase 20 million coins' worth of Adamantite Ore and Coal to use in the Artisan's Workshop. After finally reaching level 88 in Smithing, I bought a bunch of Dwarven Stouts and took my Corrupted Ore to Priffdinas during Trahaearn's Voice of Seren buff period. I destroyed about a thousand Corrupted Ore, and ended the day at level 89 Smithing, ready to destroy Corrupted Ore in the future without needing the +1 Smithing level buff of a Dwarven Stout. For Herblore, I dug through my bank searching for ingredients. After seeing that I had an excess of Dwarf Weed and not much Wine of Zamorak, I spent about 2 million coins purchasing enough ingredients from the Grand Exchange to balance out my ingredient proportions, and made Super Ranging Potions until I leveled up in Herblore once. At the end of the day, I decided to relax after a day of relatively click-intensive training by mining Seren Stone in Prifddinas. (Click to enlarge) Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch the fireworks for my level-up because I was in another window browsing Reddit, but that screenshot still shows the standing of my stats relative to where I was yesterday. My main goal for the entire Double XP Weekend was to get my Smithing level high enough to be able to destroy Corrupted Ore. Seeing as I overestimated how long that would take, and I already reached my goal after the first day (before the official weekend even started), I'll probably spend the rest of the weekend's experience boost working on Herblore and Summoning.
Screenshot: When one Portable Forge just isn't enough…
(Click to enlarge) Backstory: the original Portable Forge was the left-most one, which is one step away from the bank chest (placed there in a non-optimal position in error by the Portables host). Someone complained about it, so rather than just waiting it out, someone placed another Portable Forge in its proper spot (the middle one). Then, a troll came along, and in an act of "that's what you get for complaining," plopped a third Portable Forge down on the same square as the one used to access the bank chest. (For those who are unfamiliar, portable skilling stations give bonus experience and other benefits when used, and are considered relatively valuable. Thus, a lot of people were getting upset that these boosts were being put to waste due to there being three down at the same time.) (Click to enlarge) In other news, I got myself 2,400 RuneCoins today. I bought five Bank Boosters to increase my bank space by 250 slots, then spent the remaining RuneCoins on a permanent Wealth Evaluator unlock.

The stream starts part-way into the Katarina game because I forgot to turn on the audio in my stream before that point in the game. An interesting fun fact about the Katarina game: I was originally going to hit Random and lock in, taking my random champion mid. My randomly selected champion was Miss Fortune, but Ed wanted to play her as an ADC (he was last pick). So, he picked a champion for me, and we traded champions. He decided to pick Katarina for me because the enemy team was heavy in crowd control and he wanted to screw me over. That clearly didn't work out for him.

The Badger Trust has been granted a judicial review of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' decision to allow badgers to be culled in England.
Mr Justice Irwin granted permission for the review at the end of last week because evidence shows that a cull may in fact worsen the spread of bovine tuberculosis. The case is now expected to come before the High Court of London in June 2012.
The Badger Trust announced that it intended to take legal action against Defra in February after the Department revealed the location of two pilot culls. It submitted its application for a High Court judicial review in March.
The charity will ask the High Court to overturn Defra's decision on three grounds:
Badger Trust solicitor, Gwendolen Morgan from Bidmans LLP said: "We are pleased that the court has given the Badger Trust's challenge the green light on all three grounds. The badger cull as proposed would make matters worse at great cost to farmers."
A Defra spokesman warned that the cost to the taxpayer would be £1bn over the next ten years if bovine TB is not dealt with and said: "Bovine TB is a chronic and devastating disease. It forced the slaughter of 25,000 cattle in 2010 alone, and is taking a terrible toll on our farmers and rural communities.
"Nobody wants to cull badgers. But no country in the world where wildlife carries TB has eradicated the disease in cattle without tackling it in wildlife too. We are investing in the development of usable vaccines but sadly these are still years away, and we have to take action now."
In March 2012 the Welsh Assembly announced that it had scrapped its plan for a badger cull following a review of the science and will now concentrate on cattle-based measures including vaccinations.
Recent figures on the bovine TB incidence rate, released by Defra, indicate that had fallen slightly from 5.3 per cent in January 2011 to 4.3 per cent in the same month 2012.

Dance Central Spotlight is a new Xbox One Kinect dancing title. The idea is to keep the focus on dancing and music, serving as a sort of follow-up to the hit Xbox 360 title Dance Central.
The difference here is that Spotlight is a smaller package, coming with only 10 songs, and released as a download-only title. Harmonix plans to launch with a DLC library of at least 50 tracks, and says that they'll follow with weekly DLC for a time after that. They have improved their authoring pipeline, letting them create song content more quickly.
You'll get more out of each song now, too. With Kinect 2.0's improved skeleton tracking, they can do more with each song. So now, instead of three routines, you'll get eight: four core (easy to difficult) routines, strength and training routines, and finally both easy and difficult choreography routines.
And here's some great news: Legacy DLC will be supported. If you've ever purchased DLC for Dance Central, you'll get the Spotlight version for free when it is released, complete with the 8 routines.view full story + comments
Harmonix has thought a lot about how they'll welcome players to Fantasia: Music Evolved and they've decided to add a partner apprentice that will serve as a sort of game guide. Her name is Scout, a talented but impatient apprentice that works alongside the player to fight the force called the Noise.
Scout is fully voiced and animated, and appears as the game begins to help kick off the story. She seems to have a lively personality, wearing a star-covered ball cap and street clothes. Players will cooperate with Scout to save Fantasia.view full story + comments

With a new Amplitude on the horizon and a post-Guitar Hero world having left much to be desired by way of rhythm games, we must look to the past to drink our fill from the fount of the world of music. And even before Guitar Hero spoon-fed the bitter taste of recording artists' dignity to the videogame-playing masses (have you heard Band Hero's reworking of Filter's "Take A Picture?"), rhythm and music game aficionados had it way better.
The future is always promising, but if you backed the Amplitude Kickstarter because you felt starved for a musical revolution, take a trip down memory lane with these greats. Now, now -- if your favorite isn't on this list, I might just revisit the idea later. You never know.view full story + comments
