Slowly but surely, the pieces are coming together for the new G80 BMW M3. The latest version of Munich's benchmark high-performance compact sedan – based on the regular G20 3 Series – has been caught undergoing testing, and these latest spyshots show the car with its production body panels for the first time.
As is usual for an M car, it gets a beefier stance than the cooking sedan, with a wider track width hidden by the more muscular fenders. Dual-arm wing mirrors also make an appearance, and one should also expect the trademark gills to sprout up aft of the front wheels of the production model.
Naturally, most of the changes will be clustered around the front of the car, and just like the current car, the M3 will likely share everything ahead of the A-pillars with the M4 (note the disappearance of the 3 Series' "fanged" headlights). Now, it's quite clear that all models of the 4 Series – including the M4 – will receive the massive and highly controversial double kidney grille that was previewed on the Concept 4.
And while BMW has taken great care to obscure the face of this test mule, the presence of an offset radar sensor for the adaptive cruise control (usually mounted in the middle) is enough evidence to suggest that the M3 will also receive the bucked teeth. The rear end is far less polarising, fitted with a large diffuser and the obligatory quad tailpipes.
Expect the M3 (and by extension, the M4 coupé/convertible) to be powered by the X3 and X4 M's S58 3.0 litre twin-turbocharged straight-six, producing 480 hp in standard form and 510 hp in the more hardcore Competition. The company has previously hinted that the two models will retain the option of a manual gearbox, but only on purer (i.e. standard) variants.
This leaves the door open for the Competition model to gain the oft-rumoured eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive – the latter with a rear-wheel drive mode – from the latest F90 M5 and F92 M8.

Do you know who is in your building and where they are?
- Do you need to schedule a door to unlock?
- Concerned about unwanted visitors entering?
- Want to track who is coming in?

We'll Install, service and maintain the system for you
Step 4
Your site will be better secured
"Spotter is phenomenal to deal with. Our J. Davis House site has been very well taken care of by their camera security system during the construction phase. They have 2 stations setup at opposite corners of the site and has been very effective at detecting trespassers during non working hours. It is great that they keep our site updated on the suspicious activities during our excavation, shoring, and forming phase. We will definitely keep recommending Spotter Security and use them for our next projects."
What Makes Spotter Security Different?
At Spotter Security we know that you want to protect your building and provide a safe work environment. In order to do that, you need to be able to secure and monitor doors into your building and restrict employee access to different areas.
Continue Reading...
The problem is you don't know what type of access control system to buy and what areas to secure which makes you feel vulnerable. We believe your staff should feel safe knowing that only authorized personnel can enter the building and doors are locked for unknown visitors.
We understand. We've talked to a lot of companies who aren't secured properly and don't know that there are different access control options. We've installed access control on thousands of doors. We make sure that you have a system that gives you the coverage you need, is easy to use and can last a long time.
3 simple steps to securing your doors:
1. Contact Us
2. We look at the layout of your facility and help you plan which doors to control
3. We will design, install, and maintain the system for you
Contact Us to setup a quick online design session and in the meantime download this PDF on the top 5 things you should know when purchasing an access control system.
So you can stop worrying who is entering your building and instead know that you have an access control system that is keeping unwanted visitors outside.

From the Economist
(Illustration by Peter Schrank)
MIDDLE EASTERNERS have had a habit of making war but they suffer a stronger addiction to hummus, the chickpea dip that is a staple of Levantine cuisine. So what could be more explosive than a mix of both passions, war and peas? Just such a conflict is raging between those old foes, Israel and Lebanon.
Last year, a team of Israeli chefs concocted what they claimed was the world's biggest-ever batch of hummus, rolling out a vat weighing 400kg (882lb) in Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market. It took a year to muster an Arab counter-strike, but on October 24th a squadron of Lebanese chefs cooked up a bunker-busting bowlful that weighed in at over 2,000kg. For good measure they also unveiled a terrifying 3,500kg batch of tabbouleh, the cracked wheat and parsley salad for which Lebanon is justly famed. Gastronomic gigantism may be a fad in Lebanon, where chefs recently baked a tray of kibbeh, a pie of minced meat and cracked wheat, at 20 square metres (215 square feet) a candidate for the Guinness Book of Records.
But for nationalists there is more at stake than fashion. Foods such as hummus originated in Lebanon, they say, and this should be recognised, as much as Greece's exclusive claim to feta cheese or Parma's to parmesan. Alarmed by Israeli firms' success in marketing Middle Eastern foods in the West, where they are sometimes labelled as traditional Israeli fare, they see the food fight as an extension of Arab "resistance" against the usurping of their patrimony.
It is true that two Israeli companies, one allied to Pepsi and the other to Nestlé, control most of the American hummus market, worth $250m a year. And it is true that Israelis are devoted to hummus. Some claim it is mentioned in the Bible, while humourists have pictured Israelis brushing their teeth with it, and stirring it into their coffee....

We have officially crossed into Pacific Time!
Michael arrived at our destination, Couer d'Alene, in Idaho on Monday, September 15th. After reading about this city, we decided to stay here for two nights at the Shiloh Inn & Suites. This city is known for its resort-like feel and known for its beauty. This city's culture, based on our readings, relates more to the northern Washington state culture than its own capital city which is more south, based on its close proximity to Spokane.
Our first stop was the Visitor's Center (or the Chamber of Commerce) where we explored some of the things we could do in town. We decided to simply explore the downtown area on our own. We walked around the area and got some lunch.
We happened to park right outside a camera shop, and we were looking to purchase a new lens with more zoom for the remainder of our trip. Based on our initial pre-departure budget, we had included the purchase of new camera equipment to prepare ourselves. Unfortunately we did not purchase the lens. After our time at the Badlands and at Yellowstone National Park, we really regretted not investing in a good lens. So we decided to check out what Camera Corral had to offer.
Mike had initially showed us some of our options, which fit nicely on our camera. He showed us two lenses that were both used, but worked nicely for a decent price. He then showed us a few of the newer options that Canon had along with another brand, called Tamron, which only produces lenses. We were really impressed with the Image Stabilizer feature of the Tamron lens along with the quality of the shots it took. But we were still really indecisive on the lens: we knew we wanted one, but we didn't know which one to go with. It was nice Mike let us try everything first before we made our final decision. We wanted a good tripod along with a camera bag to store our equipment, so we looked on those too!
Michael had gone to the truck twice: once to get our camera and once to get my laptop. We wanted to test the bags out to see which one would be best suitable for our future travel. At that point, Dan, the owner, began to help us with our purchases. We must have spent a few hours in that little camera store playing and testing out all of the pieces we wanted to buy. Our final purchases definitely exceeded our budget of a measly $200 for a lens, as we spent close to $800! But, it was a good investment:) Take a look at what we got:
All really neat items to say the least. Initially we got a cheap tripod, but after testing it out we realized that we needed to get a more heavy duty one, so we went to this MeFOTO compact one, which is also fairly lightweight and very easy to set up. It also comes with a carrying case and has a built-in level!
We began testing out our equipment almost immediately, and we were really pleased to discover the quality of shots. Now we were confident if we happen to see a grizzly bear or a moose in the distance when we go to Alaska or Yosemite National Park in California, we would be better prepared. We appreciated the help of Dan and his team's insight into what types of camera equipment that was suitable for our needs. Maybe this is a step in the right direction for me: a possible freelancing photography career for me*wink wink*…way to kick-start this venture!
First photos with our nifty equipment:
Our next stops: brief stopover in Seattle for dinner…then off to Vancouver to catch our cruise to ALASKA!!! Just a quick reminder that we will be slowing down our online blog posts while we are cruising. They charge per minute for Wifi access…no thank you. We are turning off our devices and "unplugging" for a week. Look out for our next post about our Amazing Alaska Adventure towards the end of the month.

This year the LIFETIME Award was given to Ursula Krinzinger and the INNOVATION and CREATIVITY Award was given to Jean-Claude Freymond-Guth.
For the 8th time the European Gallery Awards ceremony took place at the opening of Art Basel 2012.
The European Gallery Award, founded by F.E.A.G.A. (The Federation of European Art Gallery Association) was created to honour outstanding European galleries, make the work of galleries and their importance for art more visible and valued.
Former Award winners have been: Ernst Beyeler, Suisse (2005); Esther Schipper, Germany (2005); Denise René, France (2006); Ellen de Bruyne, The Netherlands (2006); Annely Juda, Great Britain (2007); Zeno X Gallery, Belgium (2007); Galerie Hans Mayer, Germany (2008), Layr Wustenhofen, Austria (2008); Soledad Lorenzo, Spain (2009), Galerie BQ, Germany (2009), Kaj Forsblom, Finland (2010), V1 Gallery, Denmark (2010), Studio La Città, Italy (2011).
This year, in great respect for her lifetime achievement and for her being an exemplary gallery of high standing, the Lifetime Achievement Award went to Galerie Krinzinger in Vienna, Austria.
Max Hollein, Director of the Schirn Kunsthalle, the Städel Museum and the Liebieghaus Sculpture Collection in Frankfurt am Main, introduced Ursula Krinzinger at the Award ceremony at Art Basel: 'Ursula Krinzinger is a pioneer in many respects. For more than 40 years (1971 Galerie Krinzinger in Bregenz) she has been active as a groundbreaking gallerist, championing Austrian artists especially around the nucleus of Vienna Actionism, both within her home country and abroad and on the other hand fostering from the very first moment on an international perspective and a broadly based understanding of the art of today.' He praised her relentless activities, her passion and her connoisseurship, her restless energy and devotion to establishing new contacts, being open for new influences, establishing new contacts and maintaining a lifelong curiosity in the uncharted ground.
Ursula Krinzinger is a role model for gallerists in regard to her deep passion, her curiosity, her endless support for new artists.
The Award for Innovation and Creativity as well for exemplary cooperation with the art community, goes to Freymond-Guth Fine Arts in Zürich, Switzerland.
Raphael Gygax, Curator of Migros Museum of Contemporary Art introduced Jean-Claude Freymond-Guth (1979). Freymond-Guth started making exhibitions in 2002 in the non-profit space Les Complices. In 2006 he was part of the cooperative 'Perla Mode' in a deserted building with exhibition rooms, bookshops, concert rooms. He started his own gallery in 2008. The gallery is characterized by experiment and improvisation. Jean-Claude Freymond-Guth has a broad interest and background, and likes to show connections with philosophy, literature, music, history, politics. He shows the work of mainly international, but also Swiss artists in his gallery in Zürich and on international Fairs.

Britney Spears traded mentoring for mommy duty yesterday (Nov. 18) as she took her sons to Petco in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
The "X Factor" star and her boys Sean Preston, 7, and Jayden James, 6, sipped on frozen drinks from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf while walking down the street with a bodyguard and a new furry addition to their family. And get this: Sean Preston even wore a Mickey Mouse Club T-shirt, giving his mom's Mouseketeer days some credit.
Although Spears' team shot down rumors that she and fiance Jason Trawick were calling it quits, he was nowhere to be seen on yesterday's outing. Still, she insists Trawick is the man for her.
"He was sweet," the 30-year-old singer tells the December issue of Lucky magazine of why she knew he was different from other guys, adding, "He says he doesn't mind that I sit around in sweats all the time."
"I work out. I swim. I play with the kids, I cook and I garden," she adds of her downtime. "We play Connect Four. We play Candy Land."
Sounds fun to us!

Many people in the United States and elsewhere confuse Cinco de Mayo with Mexican Independence Day. The following activity is one you can use in your classroom. It outlines key features of each of these days in Mexico. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army's unlikely victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. It is typically celebrated more in the US as a commercialized holiday. In Mexico, the people of Puebla may celebrate this date but rarely is it celebrated outside of Puebla (unless you are a resort in Cancun or other tourist areas). Mexican Independence Day came more than 50 years before on September 16, 1810. After more than 300 years of Spanish rule, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest, launched the Mexican War of Independence with the issuing of his Grito de Dolores, or "Cry of Dolores.
This Colorín Colorado page has links to excellent graphic organizers. Bookmark it for future lessons! We chose to use the features chart as the graphic organizer which is more beneficial to students than a Venn Diagram when it comes to comparing and contrasting two ideas. A features chart serves as a prewriting organizational tool as well! With the features listed, unlike with the Venn diagram, students can see natural areas for sentence and paragraph formation.

Are you looking to leverage Briggs Myers personality typing to help your team function better? Using the Briggs Myers system of personality types can help to build understanding among diverse teams, facilitate better communication, and create an environment of cooperation and productivity. If you're looking to get the most from this powerful tool for team-building, read on to learn how to set your team session up for success.
1. Plan your space
The first step is to organize the details of the event in a way that sets your participants up for success. Select a conference room or other space that will allow plenty of room for your group to move around and engage with activities (more about that later!). Book your session about 1-2 weeks in advance, so that your group members have adequate time to take a personality assessment and review their individual results ahead of the session.
2. Define objectives and goals
You probably have a rough idea of why you're interested in doing a session on Briggs Myers type, but now's the time to get your goals crystal clear. What new knowledge do you want participants to gain from the workshop? What changes, if any, would you like to see in your team as a result?
On a general level, your workshop will help your team learn about the key elements of personality and how they impact work style. Participants will gain an appreciation of individual differences, which can lead to greater cooperation and productivity. Some more specific goals for your workshop may include:
- Help participants understand their individual strengths and challenges
- Help teammates understand how better to communicate with one another
- Improve conflict management among teams by improving appreciation of individual differences
Defining your objectives in advance will help you to explain to your team why they are there, as well as help you to choose activities and resources that support your goals.
3. Assess your team
Most of the time, you'll want to have all employees attending the workshop take a personality assessment in advance so that they have information about their own type at the ready. Learning about their own type gives your participants a foundation for understanding the theory of personality and how their teammates may be different. Plus, it introduces the concepts of personality type by talking about everyone's favorite topic—themselves!
In the past, personality assessments required testing booklets and scoring keys, but the move to the web has made the process much simpler. Online personality assessment platforms allow you to set up testing for your whole team in just a few minutes, and the testing and scoring is done entirely through a user-friendly website. Results can be accessed online, or downloaded and printed so you have a physical copy for your meeting. (Want to see how it works? Watch the video).
4. Select your resources
You'll want to have a variety of presentation aids to keep your audience's interest and address different learning styles. While it's always a good idea to have a PowerPoint or other slideshow to structure your session, you'll also want to plan for some of the many fun and engaging activities that bring personality type to life. Don't know where to start? Here are a few free resources:
- The Personality Type in the Workplace Presentation Guide includes everything you need to plan your session. This free download includes:
- Study Guide: Learn the key concepts of personality type and why it's important in the workplace. Read this guide from front to back and you'll know everything you need to give a training on personality type. It's also a handy reference to answer questions your teammates may have.
- Presentation Guide: Need a bit more structure as you plan your session? No problem. The guide includes a sample script that covers all the important points and corresponds with the free slideshow presentation (see below).
- Team Building Activities: Want to engage your team and bring type to life with some hands-on activites? We explain how to lead appropriate team-building activities for all the key concepts you'll be presenting.
- The Personality Type in the Workplace Slideshow outlines all the key concepts that you'll want to present to your team, in a professional and attractive format. The free slideshow coordinates with the script from the Guide above, so you can easily follow along and provide extra detail where you need to. Download now >>
5. Do a dry run
Whether you're using the free presentation script above or creating your own, run through your planned presentation from start to finish a few times so that you can present the material fluidly. Double-check the activities you're planning to be sure you have any materials you may need. You may want to read over some of the online FAQs regarding personality type—your group members may have some similar questions, so this will help you to have answers at the ready.
That's it! You're ready to hold your team-building session.
Using the materials you have chosen, you're now ready to lead a workshop on personality type in the workplace, and help your team to maximize strengths while better navigating individual differences.
Arrive early on the day of the workshop to set up the space to accommodate any activities you have chosen for the group.
Following the workshop, you may want to ask your team to fill out a feedback form with comments and suggestions. This will help you plan for any follow-up activities and let you make improvements to any future workshops you might hold.
Get the Materials
Planning to facilitate a workshop on personality type in the workplace? No need to start from scratch. We offer a free presentation kit to provide you with all the materials you need to conduct a successful workshop on personality type in the workplace. This complete kit shows you exactly how to do it—no stress required!
Kit includes slides, a trainer's study guide and a trainer's script for maximum ease and minimal prep time.
Study Guide, Presentation Script and Activities

Very helpful and informative! Especially love the activites and how they are embedded into the presentation so participants don't have to sit through an entire presentation first. Thank you! Catherine

The personality of a person is defined by their characteristics, behaviors, thoughts and feelings. These aspects begin to develop in childhood and are strengthened and shaped as the person grows up.

Gets the job done
Keeps your armpits fairly dry throughout the day. If it's extremely hot, you'll still notice some sweat from your armpits. Smells great too! Would definitely use this again.
Definitely buying product
Stick works awesome for long lasting fragrances and work effectively. Base of stick attached strongly so didn't come out easily and stay there up to end
Husband loved it
Great smell, great long lasting effectiveness. My husband love the effectiveness as he is a sweaty guy. Really helped combat the sweat and kept him smelling great
Good but does not last 48 hours
I bought this a Walmart only because it was on sale. Little Leary next time. I prefer the spray on Dove Men's care. My Son uses the spray on as well who is in college and plays volleyball so good test
Il a une légère odeur qui ne domine pas et qui est agréable. Pas de brûlure, pas d'effets indésirables. Mais je n'ai pas la peau sensible.Hautement recommandé.
The best deodorant out there. Smells great and keeps you smelling great. It keeps you dry, while the moisturizer in it keeps you from getting dry skin.
Want your man to smell good and stay dry
This product is very effective to help keep the underarm dry and smells amazing. Leaves no white markson tshirts and works for 48 hours. My boyfriend has used it for over a year now, he's hooked, so am I.
New favourite
My guy (and I) love this antiperspirant. Not only do they have great scents it also keeps him dry which is sometimes a challenge. Would highly recommend to active men.
Effective Deodorant for Males
My boyfriend has tried almost every type of deodorant out there. He finally found this one and he loves it. It is effective against sweat and he loves that he is protected for 48 hours.
He works in a garage that can get quite warm in the summer time. He now feels confident that when customers arrive, he doesn't smell like sweat.
Great product!!
This is all my husband can use due to sensitive skin under his arms. He loves it and I love the scents available too!! It's the best we've ever found that doesn't irritate his skin and we are so thankful for this product!!!! :-) 👍

Your mama's so stupid she tried to mail a letter with a food stamp.
Your mama's teeth are so yellow that when she smiled at a bunch of Formula 1 race car drivers, they all thought it was a caution sign and pulled over.
This is a completely hypothetical situation that must be answered according to your morals:
Pretend that you're a photographer who has gone out to the Midwest to take pictures of an ongoing flood. Now as you're wandering around looking for a good shot, you see George W. Bush in the middle of a rushing river, holding onto a thin branch so he won't get swept away. The branch is about halfway broken, and you know it will break altogether in a matter of minutes. Now you can do one of two things: You can either rescue him or take an award-winning picture that will secure your place in photographic history.
Now for the question:
Which lens would you use?
Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and a young trainee were out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their truck at the end of the alley and worked their way to the other end.
At the last house, a woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as they checked her gas meter.
Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his younger coworker to a foot race down the alley and back to the truck to prove that an older guy could outrun a younger one.
As they came running up to the truck, they realized the lady from that last house was huffing and puffing right behind them. They stopped and asked her what was wrong.
Gasping for breath, she replied, "When I see two gas men running as hard as you two were, I figured I'd better run too!"
Four expectant fathers were in a Minneapolis hospital waiting room,
while their wives were in labour.
The nurse tells the first man, "Congratulations! You're the father of
"What a coincidence! I work for the Minnesota Twins baseball team!"
The nurse returns and tells the second man, "You are the father of
"Wow, what a coincidence! I work for 3M Corporation!"
When the nurse tells the third man that his wife has given birth to
"Another coincidence! I work for Four Seasons Hotel!"
At this point, the fourth guy faints. When he comes to, the others ask
what's wrong.
"What's wrong?! I work for Seven-Up!"
One day, an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They proceeded to each buy a pint of Guinness.
Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints and got stuck in the thick head.
The Englishman pushed his beer away from him in disgust.
The Scotsman fished the offending fly out of his beer and continued drinking it as if nothing had happened.
The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer and then started yelling: "AH BEGORRAH! SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT!"
At age 4, success is………………not peeing in your pants.
At age 12, success is………………having friends.
At age 20, success is………………having sex.
At age 35, success is………………making money.
At age 70, success is………………having sex.
At age 80, success is………………having friends.

A woman at a party walked up to a man and told him, "If you were my husband I would poison your drink." The man replied, "If you were my wife I would drink it."
Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him "Rover" or "Spot".
I call mine Sex. Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to the City Hall to renew the dog's license, I told the clerk that I would like a license for Sex.
He said, "I would like to have one too!" Then I said, "But she is a dog!"
He said he didn't care what she looked like. I said, "You don't understand. … I have had Sex since I was nine years old."
He replied, "You must have been quite a strong boy."
When I decided to get married, I told the minister that I would like to have Sex at the wedding.
He told me to wait until after the wedding was over. I said, "But Sex has played a big part in my life and my whole world revolves around Sex."
He said he didn't want to hear about my personal life and would not marry us in his church. I told him everyone would enjoy having Sex at the wedding.
The next day we were married at the Justice of the Peace. My family is barred from the church from then on.
When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, I took the dog with me. When we checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for me and my wife and a special room for Sex.
He said that every room in the motel is a place for sex. I said, "You don't understand. … Sex keeps me awake at night."
The clerk said, "Me too!"
One day I entered Sex in a contest. But before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I told him that I was going to have Sex in the contest. He said that I should have sold my own tickets.
"You don't understand," I said, "I hoped to have Sex on TV." He called me a show off.
When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married but Sex left me after I was married."
The Judge said, "Me too!" Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking all over for her. A cop came over and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in the morning.
I said, "I'm looking for Sex." — My case comes up next Thursday. Well now I've been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more damn troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw.
Why just the other day when I went for my first session with the psychiatrist, she asked me, "What seems to be the trouble?" I replied, "Sex has been my best friend all my life but now it has left me for ever. I couldn't live any longer so lonely." and the doctor said, "Look mister, you should understand that sex isn't a man's best friend so get yourself a dog."
There was a boy who worked in the produce section of the market. A man came in and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head, but only a half head.
The shop assisant said he would go ask his manager about the matter.
He said to his manager, "There's some asshole out there who wants to buy only a half a head of lettuce." As he was finishing saying this, he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "and this gentleman wants to buy the other half." The manager okayed the deal and the man went on his way.
Later the manager called on the boy and said, "You almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from son?"
The boy replied, "Minnesota sir."
"Oh really? Why did you leave Minnesota" asked the manager.
The boy replied, "They're all just whores and hockey players up there."
"Really?," replied the manager, "My wife is from Minnesota!!"
The boy replied, "No kidding! What team did she play for?"

Recent reviews
Good 7.4 From 20 reviews
This place was fantastic! The room was clean and comfortable. Warning: you may have a detached bathroom down a short hall. The breakfast was the best part with coffee from freshly ground beans and lovely service.
Location and the service are amazing. But inside the room comfort is not really great. Starting with the bed( is spewing box which is not comfortable at all, the tv is so small that it was better to just watch my sell phone)
The hotel is in the best location that you can be if you are looking to do the tours or Rome attractions. It's a block from the Colosseum. But the most valuable thing that we loved the most was the staff that they have, They are the best. Also have an excellent free breakfast included. BUT, it does get really noisy at night cause of the clubs that are in the area. No Elevator
It was a great stay. It's between a friendly bar and a nice place to eat. Right by the colosseum. Plenary of food places and a pharmacy nearby. I'll book again.
Stayed in room 101, above the bars music played to at least 3 o'clock in the morning, even the supplied ear plugs could not block out the thudding bass, sorry to say would not recommend this place, shame really because location is superb 🙁🙁🙁
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

I'm happy to finally bring you my Christmas in Red and Black Home Tour. Wow, it's been a busy few weeks and I feel like going out of town for Thanksgiving threw me off for about a week. Since hubby is gone most of the month of December I wanted to get the Christmas decorations up early so he could enjoy them. I got about half of them up before he had to leave so at least he was able to enjoy some of them. I love the way my home feels this time of year so please join me for a small tour, I hope you enjoy it.
Most of you know I live in a rental and it's quite a bit smaller than I'm used to, so decorating at Christmas has been a challenge. Luckily we have a tall skinny tree so I'm able to fit it in a pretty small space. I moved it to the living room this year because of some changes in the family room furniture arrangements. It might have to go back to the corner in the family room next year due to little kids and me liking it there better, but I like that I tried it somewhere else.
The chest in the small entry area is decorated in mostly silver and white. Some days I want to decorate my whole house like this, it's so peaceful. I'm not going to go into every detail because this would be a super long post but I will be linking to some tutorials if you would like more information. Click on Display Stand for more info.
The bookcases get decorated with the seasons and holidays, sometimes a little sometimes a lot. I'm keeping it pretty simple this year. When my life feels stressed I tend to decorate less, it helps give me balance I guess. The map and chalkboard are always on top of the bookcases, there is a huge ugly mirror behind the bookcases they're hiding. I haven't decided what to write on the chalkboard yet, maybe Joy to the World! Tutorial for DIY Frame.
Here are some of the bookshelf details. Waterless snow globes are one of my favorite things to make and decorate with, everything looks great under glass. My vintage ornaments are displayed in a glass and lead box this year. Tutorial for Twig Star and Waterless Snow Globes. I love the mini truck and trailer.
My favorite thing to do during the Christmas season is to curl up with a book next to the tree with a cup of hot cocoa and I always have a throw available for chilly nights.
Here are a few more details in the living room. We have a tradition where the kids hunt for the pickle ornament in the tree and whoever finds it first gets a nutcracker. Below is the nutcracker for this year. I love that as my kids leave home they take their nutcrackers with them to display and even continue the tradition. The windows are one of my favorite things to decorate for different holidays. We just hung our stockings there this year. I also drape the mirror with some kind of garland for almost every holiday.
The tree is decorated with red, white, silver, and black ornaments. We also added the glitter ornaments the kids made this year and a few special ornaments we bought in San Diego at Thanksgiving.
Now let's move to the family room. My favorite thing this Christmas is the new Nativity I was able to purchase. Money has been tight the last few years so I was overwhelmed with joy when I realized I would be able to buy a Nativity this year. I especially needed to reflect on it today and am happy I have a beautiful display to remind me of what this season is all about.
I won't go into detail on the mantel because you can read all about it on this Christmas mantel post, but I will say that it is probably one of my favorite Christmas mantels.
Having the tree where it is this year means we have a view of it where ever we are on the main level, even the kitchen. Do you ever just want to keep your tree up all year long?
The kitchen got a few decorations but nothing to overwhelming since it's pretty small. I decorated a little over the cabinets and hung some wreaths on a few cabinets using ribbon and command hooks on the back of the cabinet door. The framed Christmas trees with the kisses are our Christmas countdown this year, of course some of the kisses have been eaten now. If you are still in need of a countdown just use this free countdown printable and add kisses.
Our dining table is small so we always have a small centerpiece. I'm still hunting for a table runner I love, but this little arrangement makes me happy.
You can find out more information on how to make your own everyday Cocoa Bar by clicking over. We use this almost everyday and it has been so convenient to have everything we need in one place.
We have a second tree we put all the kids handmade ornaments on. Depending on the year we either have their special ornaments on the big tree or on this tree, this year they're on this tree. It was hard to find a place for this tree in this house so it's on the landing going upstairs. We leave the lights on all the time and I love how it lights the stairs and hallway at night.
We have a tradition of buying the kids a new ornament every year. It usually represents something about their life the past year, but you can only have so many soccer or other sports ornaments so we did something different this year. The boys really like super heros so they got these cute little chubby heros and Emilee loves anything Paris so the Eiffel Tower was perfect. As the kids leave they take their ornaments with them to their new home. I love that they've all started this tradition with their kids too.
I actually have a few more things I'm working on but I'll have to show them later. I hope you enjoyed the tour. If you'd like to link your home tour in the comment area feel free. I love to check out how everyone decorates for the holidays. I will have my Christmas porch up on Friday so make sure to come back then.

I have a subscription to a magazine called Parabola: Tradition, Myth and the Search for Meaning. It is a lovely, peaceful magazine with a largely Eastern sensibility—and in general shows how expanded interpretations of the Christian, Jewish and Islamic traditions can feel comfortable in that space.
In the Spring 2008 issue, I read an article called The Deepest Silence, by John Roger Barrie. The piece was sweet, and finished with a phrase that I often hear in contemplative or New Age circles.
Here's the paragraph:
"The successful inner voyager treks to the precipice, and then, having encountered the Unknowable, brazenly discards maps and compass and boldly treads onward. The yearning heart echoes the cry that seized the Psalmist: "Be still and know that I am God." The knowing mystic, seized with a searing nondual vision, confidently answers back, "Be silent and know that you, too, are God."
I've never understood the point of saying 'I am God.' In fact I've always found the phrase sort of pointless. But perhaps I just wasn't ready. And then one day, with searing clarity, the truth finally hit: "Yes, that phrase really is pointless."
For if in the essay the term 'God' is semantic, I'm not sure what it means, being so far from any known definition of the term.
Perhaps it's said to help us feel less impotent in a domineering world. Perhaps shouting "I am God!" enough times is a sort of spiritual Viagra, a covert "Go fuck yourself!" to those Big Forces that never seem to listen. Either way, saying "I am God and that's final!" sure doesn't stop famine in Africa—although the birth rate in Africa is soaring, which may be related.
On the other hand, and speaking as one who is mystically-inclined, if what is meant is "Be silent and know that you, too, are a fragment of God/a divine spark of God/an aspect of God," or something along those lines, I can at least play with that. Not to mention, it's good to have friends in high places.
But if that is what is meant, I wonder why they just don't say it.
Then again, perhaps "Know that you, too, are God" is truly meant to mean: "You are God."
But if that is the case, and I am the Good Lord, why can I not find the key to the back shed, let alone prevent a fellow human being from being tortured?
And why can't I pervade someone else's consciousness? Heck, I can only pervade a few parts of my own.
Truth is, if I hadn't recently read Reader's Digest while in the doctor's office for undisclosed reasons related to my testicles, I'd have had no idea that there are something like a trillion cells that aren't even a part of me, working full-time in my bowel, making shit. That's right, shit—and evidently they too shall pass (by this definition, are they God, too?).
And my troubles as God don't end there—no, not by a long shot. I'm short on change for the bus, my lower back requires constant attention, I can't guide the planets worth a damn and don't tell anybody, but I don't know any of the grand "whys" of existence—which I guess is okay, because in a nondual existence there can't be any grand "whys" anyway.
Still, seeing as I'm God I should at least have what's commonly known as "a clue."
Oh yeah, here's another concern. The 'I am God' phrase is almost always tied to the idea of nonduality. Unfortunately, even in a "searing nondual vision," as it was described by the author, it turns out there can be neither an illusion nor a vision, for an illusion implies there is something else that is real, and a vision implies something being seen by another.
Thus, neither scenario is remotely nondual. They are partnerships that may one day even require a legal team just to keep the boundaries clean.
Further, if I am an illusion, as nonduality implies, why is an illusion writing this piece, and why should anyone believe an illusion—least of all an illusion who says, unequivocally, but in the same sentence, "I am God" and "could I get a lift if you're going downtown"?
On yet another hand (for Gods have many hands), let's just say that I am God. First of all, you will pick up my dry-cleaning. Secondly, how is it this "illusion" hanging around is so deluding that it repressed my awareness of the fact that I am God (at least until Parabola came along)?
And how did this illusion arise in the first place? If it arose out of ignorance, why did ignorance arise, and why is she often so pretty? And why was ignorance tricky enough to cloud reality, confuse God and invent small weapons and commercial jingles?
So what is this nondual experience that so many find addicting?
I don't know. But I will say, after years of chanting in a foreign language, there is surely some experience that feels nondual. The fact is, however, it always feels nondual to someone, not to no one, which again is contradictory.
I'd guess this: somewhere along the inner journey to outer space, to paraphrase Joe Campbell, there is a nondual experience so profound that it befuddles the beholder into believing it is the entire experience—whatever that entire experience may be.
From there, logic and the naming of objects melt away, allowing liberation and an eight-country speaking tour to take over. Hey, being a nonduality isn't cheap. In fact, it turns out it's just as expensive as really being here.
Also, when it's men who have this nondual experience, and they're able to explain it with juicy metaphors—and this may be coincidence—they tend to end up with the best-looking women in the ashram.
So what if nonduality as the ultimate experience turns out to be the actual illusion? Well, my love, all is not lost—no, not by a long shot.
The beauty of this dance need not yet be abandoned to the desperately untenable "I am God and I think I need to use your toilet."
Indeed, it can never be abandoned—until, of course, it is.
The miraculous marriage of individuality and oneness is the ongoing tension that is life—the unstoppable force arising from the scientific predictability of entropy and the utter mystery of the organization that led to us. Organization makes no sense whatsoever in an expanding universe, or in my upstairs office. Yet here we are.
The fact is we are individual beings—inconceivably being—mysteriously piercing the material world with a series of unanswerable questions and disconcerting twitches.
Temporary? Yes, we appear to be—but who knows? And who knows for how long? And who knows why?
We may even be fragments of some utterly transcendent divine being who possesses an intelligence even slightly greater than Richard Dawkins'. That would be terrific, because I really enjoy being, and given my druthers, I'd rather it continued, minus the entropy and taxes.
Deluded? Perhaps. An illusion? Sure I've got some sleight-of-hand tricks up my sleeve, but who doesn't?
But am I God? Well, not as far as I know. Then again, as any nondualist worth her illusory self will tell you:
"He who knows, knows nothing; and he who knows nothing, is unemployed."
Love on—with really big love. If that's an illusion, I swear to God, I'll eat my ego.

I recently got a chance to spill my guts about my favorite topic of conversation – putting on Confluence blogging and digital influencer conference, here in Oklahoma City.
As you can tell from the interview, it's a subject I could talk about all day long. The conference was very definitely a labor of love.
Here's an extract:
Confluence conference selfie contest
BusinessInterviews.com: Can you talk us through the process of taking your concept for Confluence and turning it into a reality and any challenges that you encountered along the way?
David: For the first three months of planning the conference I was just trying to meet as many of Oklahoma's digital influencers as I could. I met them all face-to-face and for at least an hour, usually over coffee or lunch, and I gently probed into what actionable tips and tactics they knew and how comfortable they were speaking in front of big audiences.
Every time I pitched the conference to a new potential speaker I got better at pitching it. Every time another influencer agreed to be involved, I incorporated them into my pitch. When it came time to build the website, create the brand and start marketing, I knew exactly what Confluence was and why someone would want to attend.
Attendees mingling at confluence conference
The conference cost $6,500 to put on, not including all of the time we put into it, so buy-in from the executive suite was crucial.
They'd just released a new mission statement with community service at its core. A local creativity conference like Confluence struck them as a perfect expression of that sentiment, and they agreed to back it, even though my intention was only ever to break even. They understood that the relationships we'd build and the prestige we'd gain by association would be our reward.
We also scored a great sponsor in Remington Park, a racing track and casino in the city. They helped us out with an amazing $1000 racing suite prize that we gave to the winner of our #bestracehorsename @remingtonpark Twitter competition.
The biggest resistance came from other marketing agencies. One social media marketer told me he didn't trust the event, that he thought it was bound to be a sales stunt. I told him he was wrong and to come, that he stood to gain as much from the event as we did, with much less time and money spent. He didn't show up.
I only met one other marketing agency employee in the audience, which was incredible considering we had speakers from national events like SMX, State of Search, Pubcon and Altitude Summit speaking, and for 10% of the ticket price.
It actually couldn't have worked out better: we exceeded our year 1 attendance goal by 40%, without also helping to train our competitors.

In reply to Re: Who's tried Mindfulness Meditation for Depression? » SLS, posted by baseball55 on December 5, 2017, at 21:19:45
I don't think it is necessary to have poor self-esteem in order for CBT to work. CBT has the advantage of time. It works from the top down, so that the negative feelings that result from cognitive distortions can be changed almost immediately. Depression (MDD and BD) produces a never-ending series of cognitive distortions independent how one defines themselves (high self-esteem). Without interception, these thoughts and feelings can erode self-esteem, so one does not have to have low self-esteem to begin with.
1. Depression = cognitive distortions -> negative feelings -> core beliefs -> self-esteem
2. Depression = negative feelings -> cognitive distortions -> core beliefs -> self-esteem
Inverted pyramid:
-------------Automatic thoughts / Cognitive distortions--------
-------Intermediate beliefs--------
-----Core beliefs -----
Core beliefs are changed as a consequence of the interception and recognition of negative automatic thoughts. Negative thoughts are replaced by positive ones, and the effect trickles down to the core beliefs via intermediate beliefs. The need for years of psychodynamic therapy to change core beliefs are obviated. Of course, psychodynamic therapy has very important uses just as CBT cannot treat all psychiatric conditions.

Market Warsop is a civil parish in the District of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England, on the outskirts of Sherwood Forest.[1] At the 2001 census it had a population of 12,365,[2] reducing to 11,999 at the 2011 Census including Church Warsop, Meden Vale and Spion Kop.[3]
The parish holds an annual carnival traditionally scheduled on the first or second Sunday in July.[4] The carnival was expanded to include the preceding Saturday to be used as a sports day and music festival. The event is held on The Carrs playing fields, just off the main A60 road.
The parish formed an urban district in Nottinghamshire until 1974, when it joined with Mansfield Borough and Woodhouse Urban District Council to form Mansfield District Council. Warsop retains a council, as a successor parish, including the localities of Market Warsop, Church Warsop, Meden Vale, Warsop Vale and Spion Kop.
Warsop is apart of the Mansfield Constituency, whose MP is currently Ben Bradley MP.
Warsop watermill was built in 1767 and restored in 1924.
Warsop windmill, first called Forest Mill but also later known as Bradmer Mill, was a stone-built tower erected in 1825. It was 28 feet high with three storeys, a fourth storey being added later in brick. The mill had four sails, two of which were blown down by a gale in 1910, after which the mill was worked for a short time on the two remaining sails. By the 1920s the mill had lost all its sails and its cap. The tower is a Grade II listed building, standing to the southeast of Warsop close to the A6075.[5]
In 1930, Samuel Fell Wilson, a Warsop grocer, wine merchant, and publisher of the Warsop and District Almanack, was shot in the head and chest as he sat in his car outside the mill. The murderer was never identified.[citation needed] There is a local road named Fell Wilson Street.
Warsop is home to Meden School on Burns Lane, part of a local group named Torch Academy Gateway Trust.[6] Former pupils include television hosts Pollyanna Woodward and Simon Mapletoft, Mansfield 103.2 presenter Jason Harrison, Breakfast Show host Joe Sentance on Rother FM/Dearne FM, ex-Everton footballer Neil Pointon, former England wicketkeeper Bruce French and his nephew, current England and Nottinghamshire fast bowler Jake Ball.
Warsop railway station operated between 1897 and 1955. There is some ambition for eventual reopening of the line currently freight only between Shirebrook and Warsop.[7]
Stagecoach bus 12 runs twice an hour between Shirebrook, Warsop and Mansfield. Stagecoach bus 11 also runs twice an hour between Meden Vale, Warsop and Mansfield, giving Warsop a bus service into Mansfield every 15 minutes. Another bus, numbered 209, runs between Edwinstowe and Worksop via Warsop and Cuckney every two hours.

This craft activity originally appeared on Craftmumship.com and has been republished here with permission. By Lorelei.
What you'll need
- 3 red honeycomb balls
- 1 large piece of green cardboard
- Blu-Tack (for sticking pieces to the wall)
The Christmas tree is in front of the window this year and not so much in the corner (like last year) so that you can see the tree lights from outside the window. This meant that there was a blank wall behind the tree that needed something. Easily fixed with some giant holly Christmas decorations.
We took a quick trip to the dollar store, which had everything we needed. We rolled our cardboard up to take it home and then when we cut out the holly leaves (two from the one piece of cardboard) the edges had a nice curl to it adding some more dimension.
Simple, cheap and easy to make and it would look great decorating a school or preschool, too.
So tell me - do you like this idea? If you make some giant holly Christmas decorations, I'd love to see your pictures. Please share them on my Facebook page.
