The summer holiday season is upon us and many Britons look forward to hopping on a plane and lounging somewhere on a distant beach, but one doesn't have to travel that far in order to find some fantastic holiday destinations. In fact, you don't even have to leave the country. There are some beautiful spots in the UK just waiting to be discovered and on top of that, getting there is cheaper than a flight and a lot less hectic.
You can fit your whole family in the car easily and don't have to worry about baggage restrictions. Especially when considering that the cost of car insurance has reached its lowest point in four years and that second hand cars are cheaply available on sites such as www.carshop.co.uk, holidays in the UK are getting rather popular. Some lovely places to visit in Britain include the Norfolk Broads and the Yorkshire Dales.
The Norfolk Broads are a unique network of rivers a few miles east of Norwich. The Broads are Britain's largest protected wetland area and a paradise for all wildlife lovers. Otters, birds, dragonflies and many other rare species call the Norfolk Broads their home. You can hire a boat to explore the area and discover the rivers in a unique way. There are different styles of boats available for hire from old traditional yachts to modern, comfortable cabin cruisers.
According to Lonely Planet, the Yorkshire Dales are the third best region worldwide to visit in 2014. Most of the Yorkshire Dales are part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, which is famous for its rugged peaks, windswept moorlands, green valleys, dry-stone walls, picturesque villages and winding country roads. The Dales offer a range of different activities. Most tourists come here to enjoy the scenic countryside. The area is ideal for cyclists, hikers and climbers. There are plenty of caves and castles to explore and museums and country houses to visit. Some of the beautiful towns and villages in the Dales that are worth a visit are Settle, Clapham and Horton in Ribblesdale.
If you'd rather spend your holidays by the seaside then Haven holiday might be a viable option for you. Haven holiday own 35 holiday parks all along the UK's beautiful coastline from Cornwall, Kent and the Lake District all the way up to Scotland. So you don't have to travel far to find beautiful landscapes and great entertainment.
Optional extras and insurance account for most of the difference. Drivers pay £304 on average to rent a compact family car during the first week of August, but the add-ons – such as excess waiver insurance, insuring a second driver, taking satnav and a child's seat – pushes up the price to £563.
This insurance means that if the driver damages the vehicle they won't have to pay the "excess", or the first part of the claim – which could be as much as £700.
Specialist insurers, such as the AA, iCarhireinsurance.com or insurance4carhire.com, have moved into the market offering cheaper, standalone cover. So instead of paying for the car hire firm's own excess waiver insurance – which could be £15 or £20 per day – these other insurers provide cover for a fractioin of the price. If you damage the vehicle you have to pay the excess to the car hire firm, and you then make a claim to the standalone provider.
Petrol is the other cost which differs widely. A full tank in the UK is £52, slightly cheaper than the £59 it costs to fill up in Italy and Holland – whereas Britons heading to Florida this summer can expect to pay just £23.
The car hire costs below included a week's rental with four added extras (excess waiver insurance, satnav, a second driver and a child's seat), as well as the price of a tank of petrol (40 litres).

Spain's SHA clinic also offer special detox programs to cleanse the body during Ramadan. These programs include traditional dishes and juices for iftar and suhoor as well as medical consultants, massages, nutrition advisers, workshops and exercising areas within the clinic.
With sunny winters providing perfect escape for Muslim tourists looking to escape the oppressive summer heat, Australia is also a great travel destination for fasting visitors.
In the Gold Coast, known for its sun-kissed beaches, the city has also opened prayer rooms in shopping malls and theme parks with many leading hotels providing halal food and copies of the Quran and prayer mats in its guest rooms. The Ramadan Lounge at the Courtyard Marriott hotel in Surfers Paradise offers fasting residents and visitors a comfortable place to break their daily fast with dates, snacks and coffee for free, three evenings a week.
They also provide a special Gold Coast Muslim Visitors Guide listing all of the city's halal-certified restaurants.
Not surprisingly, the United Arab Emirates is another popular halal holiday destination for fasting visitors who are looking to get away but not venture too far from home. With the aim to transform the city of Dubai into a hub of Islamic culture and learning, the special "Ramadan in Dubai" program provides residents and visitors with a wide variety of cultural, social and spiritual activities including the Ramadan Night market, summer camps, the annual Ramadan Majlis that offer some of the finest Arabic cuisine and annual Holy Quran recital competitions for students and adults.
"With Dubai being a leading family tourism destination, and home to many cultures, 'Ramadan in Dubai' will showcase the emirate's diverse tourism offerings within a modern Arabic setting while still retaining its Islamic values and roots," said Laila Mohammad Suhail, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment.
For those really looking to enjoy the lavishsness that the UAE has to offer, many luxury hotels lay out elaborate, Bedouin-like mega-tents that can seat hundreds of people looking to break fast in style. Complete with live cooking stations, performers, shisha parlors, and rows of delicious food including Lebanese, Egyptian and Turkish cuisine and of course, Emirati, they are definitely an experience for any local or visitor.
Even getting to and from a destination is becoming easier for fasting travelers as airlines including British Airways, Qantas flights, Emirates and Etihad seek to provide special Ramadan services and accommodate fasting guests.
So for those looking to get away this Ramadan, get booking, make reservations and have a delightful experience. Ramadan Kareem!
For many of us, the joy of traveling to a foreign country during the summer gives us the perfect opportunity to dive in and sample a different culture, engage with locals, gorge on traditional cuisine and wander through bustling markets under the warm summer sun.
But with Ramadan falling during the end-of-school summer period, many travelers observing the Holy Month often prefer the comfort of their own home, family and friends rather than deal with the difficulties of fasting all day in a non-Muslim country. In most Muslim countries, locals, tourists and non-Muslims are expected to observe the fast while in public as a sign of respect with many eateries closed during the day.
However, many tourism authorities, hotels and airlines are offering flexible hours, halal services and cultural events to welcome and cater to Muslim tourists looking to travel this time of year. And why wouldn't they?
Muslim tourists accounted for an estimated US $126 billion, just over 12 percent of the total expenditure on travel, leisure and business in 2011, according to the Global Muslim Lifestyle Tourism Market 2012 study by Dinar Standard and Crescent-Rating.
With one of the largest Muslim communities living in a non-Muslim country, Britain is an ideal place to visit during the Holy Month and help visitors and tourists to feel like home.
Many hotels across London work to accommodate the needs of fasting guests including late-night requests and instructing the housekeeping staff not to clean their rooms during the day to avoid interrupting their sleep. They also employ Arabic speaking staff to cater to their non-English speaking visitors as well. The highlight of Ramadan in the region, however, is the annual Eid festival celebrated in Trafalgar Square, London that includes live music, delicious cuisine from across the globe as well as exciting activities for children including face-painting, calligraphy, henna and sports. The UK is sure to be a peaceful yet exhilarating place to visit with the family this Ramadan.
Despite the challenging humidity and heat during the summer, Malaysia has consistently topped the list as the top "halal holiday destination" for Muslim tourists. In largely Muslim Malaysia, Muslim-run eateries don't usually open until mid-afternoon.
One of the highlights of Ramadan in Malaysia are the daily Pasar Ramadans (open-air food markets) that include an unbelievable variety of dishes that range from the classic cendol (coconut milk and sugar) in plastic bags and Kari ayan (curry chicken) to traditional Ramadan staples like dates and baklava to make Arab guests feel right at home.
There are also mosques across the Asian nation making Malaysia a travel favorite for Muslim tourists.
It should come as no surprise that Turkey's tourism industry booms during the Ramadan season given the fact that it is closer to the Middle East and other Muslim-majority countries and the pleasant weather during the summer. Turks and visitors are advised to refrain from eating, drinking or smoking in public during daylight hours to be polite and respect people who are fasting. While restaurants are open during the day however, most of them do cover their windows and doors to prevent fasting individuals from getting distracted. Many restaurants also offer special Ramadan menus at night and often refrain from serving alcoholic beverages this time of year.
"Many restaurants are ready with their special menu for iftar. They prepare Turkish foods, kebabs, traditional desserts such as baklava, and güllaç [a special dish served during Ramadan] made with milk, nuts and pistachio, which is often enjoyed in cafes," said Mustafa Özdemir, the cultural and information attaché for the Turkish Consulate General Cultural & Information Office.
After breaking fast at iftar, different parts of the city are lit with strings of colored lights, mosques are illuminated and a celebratory, carnival atmosphere takes over the streets of Turkey with booths set up all over town selling religious books and paraphernalia, traditional snacks, tokens and ornaments for children. Thousands of locals and visitors also gather around with the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, popularly known as the Blue Mosque, with friends, family and picnic baskets for iftar on the lawn.
Are you thinking about traveling to Brazil or will you just be imagining that you're there as you watch the 2014 FIFA World Cup? Here are some of the hottest travel destinations that will make you wish you could take a vacation immediately.
Often referred to as the world's most famous beach, Copacabana is three miles long and is lined with countless attractions for locals and visitors.
Perhaps one of the most recognizable landmarks in Rio de Janeiro, this 98-foot statue is located at the peak of the 2,300 foot tall Corcovado mountain.
These beautiful waterfalls are of the Iguazu River on the border of the Argentina province of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Paran.
This is the famous beach in Rio de Janeiro that inspired the classic song 'The Girl from Ipanema,' a beach so beautiful that people applaud to the sunset in the summer.
This is possibly the most idyllic beach of Rio. This tiny oasis of quietness and beauty got its name because it becomes flushed with red at sunsets.
The "City of the Holy Savior of the Bay of all Saints" is known as Brazil's capital of happiness due to its countless popular outdoor parties including its street carnival, one of the largest in the world.
This beautiful 1,299-foot peak situated in Rio de Janeiro is at the mouth of Guanabara Bay on a peninsula that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean.
This 12.4-square-mile rainforest, claiming to be the largest urban forest, is home to hundreds of species of plants and wildlife — many of which are threatened by extinction.
This monument is located at about 1,246 feet high in the Tijuca Forest and is famous for its oriental style gazebo and spectacular views of Rio de Janeiro.
US President Barack Obama rattled off a list of iconic US tourist destinations as he launched a campaign to attract more international visitors. But what about the places that could be world-renowned – but aren't?
"When it comes to tourism, we have a great product to sell," said the president, while visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, last month.
It was part of a pitch for foreign visitors to spend their money on American travel.
But these places are old hat. Five travel experts give their view on the places that aren't on the international tourist map, but should be.
Though founded in England, the Shaker faith left an indelible mark on American culture – from Aaron Copland orchestral suites to an enduring design aesthetic. Known for their simple lifestyle but doomed by their aversion to procreation, the Shakers peaked in the 19th century.
In Harrodsburg, Kentucky, however it is still possible to experience "a retreat into a slower, more reflective way of life", says Patricia Schultz, author of 1,000 Things to See Before You Die. There you'll find the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, "one of the few restored Shaker communities where you can stay overnight", she says.
The Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill provides a glimpse into this part of American history, as well as a lot of lovely scenery – rolling hills, horse farms, stone fences and 3,000 acres (1,214 Ha) of beautiful countryside.
Colorado has no shortage of natural beauty, from the snow-capped Rockies to its 24 million acres of forests. But in the south-western corner of Colorado, natural beauty, man-made innovation and a unique American history combine at Mesa Verde National Park.
"Thousands of years ago, housing for Native Americans was carved into the side of the mountains," says Kim Mance, editor of GoGalivanting.com. The ancient Pueblos began carving dwellings in the 12th Century, and 200 years later they had established an entire city in the sandstone, including a palace with 150 rooms.
Now tourists can wander through the dwellings on guided tours, or hike, camp or snowshoe through the park. "It's magical," says Mance.
The area is rich with parks, ruins and other destinations: Mesa Verde is also just a short trip away from the Four Corners, where the borders of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah converge. Mace also singles out the nearby town of Durango, Colorado, which boasts a mix of modern restaurants and shopping as well as historic attractions like dude ranches and an 1880s-era steam-powered train.
Though Sonoma County and Napa Valley in California are world-renowned destinations for wine lovers, New York's Finger Lakes region is a must-visit for any oenophile.
"It's an area of gorgeous waterfall filled-hikes, a burgeoning local culinary scene and more than 100 wineries set among two-lane roads, rolling hills and seasonal roadside stands," says Allison Busacca, the editor of BBC Travel.
Busacca says the crowds don't flock to the Finger Lakes the way they do to California wine country. It's also an easy side trip for those hitting the big sites in New York City – it's just four hours north, making it a perfect complement for foreign visitors looking to see a lot of America during a quick trip.
The wine, especially Rieslings and reds, are consistently award-winning, but the prices are low.
The entire city of Chicago should be a top destination for anyone visiting the States, says Lonely Planet travel guide writer Karla Zimmerman. She says that the Windy City has restaurants, shows, shopping and culture to match any other US city.
Chicago may be more appealing to the foreign traveller now for its association with President Obama, who calls the Hyde Park neighbourhood his home.
Within that neighbourhood is Jackson Park, site of the 1893 World's Fair, which introduced both the Ferris Wheel and moving pictures to the world.
The expo's Palace of Fine Arts is now the city's Museum of Science and Industry, a gorgeous Beaux-Arts building right on Lake Michigan that is now the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere.
In 2013, 40 million people visited Las Vegas. But for the international traveller feeling overwhelmed by all the glitz and gaudiness of the Strip, serenity is just thirty miles north.
"It looks like another planet," says Andy Murdock, managing editor at AirBnB. In fact, scenes from several movies have been shot at Valley of Fire, Nevada's largest state park.
Here, the sparkle is provided by hundreds of thousands of stars, not neon on the Vegas strip, and the skyline is dominated by swirling red sandstone formations instead of giant casinos.
Murdock notes that car rentals in Sin City are usually inexpensive, and a trip to the park can provide a much-needed palate cleanser.
The Rialto Bridge is the most famous bridge in the city. The Rialto Bridge is in lagoon of Venice. It was built in the period from 1588 and 1592, connecting the two districts of San Marco and San Polo. It is a 48 m long and 22 m wide covered crossing. Until 1854, it was the only way to cross the Grand Canal. Today, there are two more bridges to cross the channel but they are not so well known.
It is a great pleasure for each one to sit at the Rialto Bridge on the banks of the Grand Canal in one of the many restaurants or cafes and enjoy fine Italian cuisine and at the same time to observe the hustle and bustle.For each visitor to Venice trip on the Grand Canal is an amazing experience.

In the 15th And 18 Century, the mosaics of some famous Venetian artists were then replaced here. However, the floor also deserves attention, because the floor mosaics cover an area of 2,000 m².

It presents many frescoes, exhibitions and events. To Bolzano tourism include the history of the castle and its art and cultural.
In 1390 the chapel was beautiful, a true masterpiece of architecture. Only the painting of the interior life is evidence of a lot of creativity and artistic commitment.

It is the largest secular fresco cycle of a medieval building, which tells that story of Tristan and Isolde, the brave knights of King Arthur and his Round Table, the history of Vintler's and such a spiritual wall painting from the Bible.

Previous PostWhat's blowing my mind tonight?Next PostYou can get Epidiolex in a month if your definition of a month is 210 days to years.
As a long time volunteer and huge fan of CHOA, I am distressed to hear about your family's experience at S Rite. I am going to share this info, if you don't mind- with some folks on the inside. This is personal for me- my daughter's first seizures happened to be on a Monday, so I guess I was just lucky! As for those Cat boot/sock things… I am speechless.
I am the unlucky mom whose 5 year old daughter had her first seizure on a Friday afternoon, and by the time the ambulance got us there (thanks to ATL traffic and the paramedic joking that she was probably jerking my chain about hallucinating) of course there was no way to get an EEG. Plus the ER doctor never even mentioned a seizure, although he did ask if she cold have gotten into anything and ran a tox screen on my child who was too sick to even pee by herself. We were almost discharged (she had the stomach virus, and received fluids) when she had another seizure and was admitted. Lucky again, we had a nurse standing in the room trying to fight her during this 'neurological episode' (unlucky for me, she was unfamiliar with complex seizures) to take her blood pressure. Her 3rd seizure happened the following day, when we had a brand new nurse – one week on the job out of school…she said she would bring a more seasoned nurse with her the next time I called.
I did however record the first seizure for 1 min and 45 seconds (it lasted over 5 min, but I had no idea what was happening.) That was enough to diagnose her with Complex Partial Seizure disorder. I look back and realize this was not her first seizures….and since they have all happened while sleeping or waking up, I have no idea how many she really has. We were readmitted for vomiting, so did get an EEG the following Monday – 10 minutes after she took her nap because it wasn't planned! When I requested a sleep deprived one, they said it didn't matter and hoped she would fall asleep anyway. That didn't happen since she was screaming and sobbing because her IV burned the entire time. Normal EEG means nothing is wrong, per the neurologist we saw (although they did agree to a 48 hour ambulatory one so they could see her sleeping.) AND since we happen to be everywhere at just the wrong time, I am left waiting, wondering if my child is an active sleeper, or seizing as I watch her arms and legs jerk over and over all night long. I wonder if we would still have to wait 2 months for an ambulatory EEG, and 4-6 months for an appointment with a neurologist who actually lists epilepsy and seizures, if they had been able to record her seizures on the weekend?
I am less than thrilled with our experience…..to say the least.
How frustrating! I am so sorry you had that experience…I wish I were surprised by it. I hope your daughter is doing well.
Thank you. She had another seizure last Saturday night. I am still patiently waiting for the Neurologist office to call back. I spoke to the nurse Monday and Tuesday, and she said she was awaiting the doctors response. We are also on a waiting list to get an appointment in 4-6 months. I have made an appointment in Augusta, and will be going in June if CHOA Neurology does not get us in…which seems likely since they don't even return calls. As a parent, I thought seizures were scary, serious, and needed to be dealt with. I have learned a sore throat or rash warrants more alarm, which is slightly disturbing to me.
I love our pediatric neurologist, Dr. Flamini at PANDA, if you find yourself looking for another doctor.
Ditto Dr Flamini! He will also answer to "Dr Flamingo".
HAHA! That's good because that's what my phone endlessly autocorrects him to be!
I have heard about Dr. Flamini 🙂 I am in school so am stuck with insurance…I tried to pay out of pocket to see a provider out of network and was told it is illegal. I cannot believe how my hands are tied!

How do you get more space in your home without the usual renovation stress? For Ailsa and Jimmy Ormsby, it was about finding a builder who focuses on quality.
Back to projects page
There's no shortage of space in Kaipaki, the rural community near Cambridge that plays home to Windsor Park Stud and the Lily Pad Café. But for Kaipaki residents Ailsa and Jimmy Ormsby, their newly-purchased 1920's bungalow didn't take full advantage of their spacious property. They decided a major renovation was in order to create new and better spaces: adding a brand new kitchen, extending and revitalising the dining area with large new windows and doors to enhance the natural lighting, and building a large adjacent outdoor entertainment area to add a fantastic indoor/outdoor living and entertaining space. And all of this to be done in a way in keeping with the original character of the home that had been so well maintained over the years.
Ailsa often circles back to the theme of communication when reflecting on their experience with Rob May Building. "His communication was amazing," Ailsa says about Jono, whose attentiveness and transparency quickly allayed any fears the Ormsbys may have had going into the job. "It was constant. He was always on the end of the phone." If a staff member was home sick for the day or an urgent job cropped up elsewhere, Jono was quick to inform Ailsa. "I would never wonder; he'd always let me know. And Jono was here regularly, so I always got a really good update as to where we were at."
But Jono wasn't the only one to make a positive impression. Ailsa was pleased with the whole crew, citing the staff's punctuality, diligence, and being "really nice guys" as some of their stand-out features. And they worked in such a way as to interfere as little as possible with the Ormsbys' daily life. The kitchen was added onto the house before the original exterior wall was removed, ensuring the house remained toasty and secure during construction. Even luxuries were considered. Due to the temporary unavailability of powerpoints in the living room, the household was left without TV for three weeks. "It was fine of course," says Ailsa. "But I just asked Jono if it was possible [to get the new powerpoints installed]." The next day, they were on the job. "Those little things. They just got them done."
"It was a completely stress-free renovation."
Despite the crew's minimal-disruption approach, the job was still completed on time and came in under budget. That's an outstanding result, especially given how often and easily major renovations can devolve into a very expensive headache. But Ailsa seems just as chipper about the project now as she was leading up to it. "It was a completely stress-free renovation."
"It's fantastic. It's transformed the house," Ailsa enthuses, describing the completed job. It was a big project but the improvement is dramatic. Previous renovations have retained the original character of the house, particularly its high standard of finish, but this most recent renovation not only fully preserved that character but also successfully enlarged the house, connecting the house with the garden, which as Ailsa points out "creates more room—indoors and out". The centrepiece of the renovation is the roomy kitchen that leads out onto the equally as spacious deck area—perfect for year-round entertaining.
For Ailsa, however, it's the little things that she appreciates most. One of her favourite features of the renovation is one most visitors would barely notice: a join in the doorframe between the dining room and lounge area, between the old and the new. It may look innocuous but the join represents several hours of head-scratching, trying to figure out how to make the lines match up. The art of making something brand new look like it had been part of the house for 80 years. It took Cam's (site foreman) sharp eye and clever thinking to fix the problem with minimal hassle. It's those small details that, in the Ormsby's eyes, all add up to a job well done. "We've got more space—yeah, I love it."

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's financial watchdog faced sharp criticism on Wednesday from former small business owners who say they have been mistreated by big banks.
Responding to questions from the influential Treasury Committee, the ex-business owners said the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) was ill-suited to handle serious complaints against the lenders it regulates.
The questioning centered on how small firms could be protected in future and came ahead of a parliamentary debate on Thursday on redress for victims of banking misconduct.
Turner helped uncover one of the largest financial frauds in Britain at the Reading branch of HBOS, a unit of Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L), after it destroyed her family firm, and she now heads small business group the SME Alliance.
She said the FCA's objective to protect market integrity could prevent it from properly fulfilling its other remit - to protect consumers.
Turner's comments added to criticism of the FCA over the way it dealt with allegations that RBS pushed thousands of struggling firms into bankruptcy.
The committee went head to head with the watchdog last year over its reluctance to publish a confidential report it had commissioned into the RBS scandal.
Lawmaker Martin Whitfield, who will lead Thursday's debate in parliament, said in a statement that the government must force the FCA to pass the next phase of the investigation into RBS on to an independent body.
"I do not believe the FCA can allow an investigation of this magnitude to be taken in-house," he said.
A spokesman for the FCA said it aims to make markets work well for individuals, businesses large and small and for the economy as a whole, and that it supports the committee's inquiry into the issues facing small firms.

Watching the Watchmen: Nite Owl
By Andy Frisk
Feb 24, 2009 - 19:30
Writer(s): Alan Moore
Penciller(s): Dave Gibbons
Colourist(s): John Higgins
Letterer(s): Dave Gibbons
Daniel Dreiberg, aka Nite Owl II ("II" because he is the second character in the Watchmen universe to wear the owl cowl) is at once Watchmen's most simple yet engagingly complex characters as he is, perhaps, the most easily identified with and metaphorically relevant character in the story.
As Alan Moore himself stated in the Absolute Watchmen edition's "Nite-Owl" bonus section "…this character is the nearest we get to a conventional superhero." He's also the closest we get to a conventional man and Thoreau's mass of men who live lives "of quiet desperation." Dreiberg, though, is one of the most dynamic characters in Watchmen and doesn't remain in a state of desperation. He does what all men wish to do when they face what, to them, amounts to a mid-life crisis. Dreiberg regains his youth at least in his outlook on life through the re-engagement of his superhero life. His story is a metaphor for more than just middle aged men who recapture a moment of youth. Dreiberg and his costumed persona are metaphoric of the greater questions in life: to what purpose am I given? Do I have the strength to live up to that purpose? Finally: Can I follow my passion, whatever it is for?
We first meet Dreiberg in Chapter I at the, original Nite-Owl, Hollis Mason's residence, where he is listening to Mason recount a story of his recent run-in, at the grocery store while shopping, with a super-villain, also retired and past his prime, as well as reformed. We're immediately struck by the generational age difference between Dreiberg and Mason, yet Mason states that "us old retired guys gotta stick together." Also, we find out that Dreiberg is spending his Saturday nights in "beer-sessions" with Mason. Obviously, it is honorable and noble of Dreiberg to show the amount of respect he does by spending time with Mason, but it is painfully obvious that Dreiberg is allowing himself to be aged beyond his years prematurely through such close camaraderie with Mason.
Dreiberg takes his leave of Mason and upon arriving home discovers Rorschach, the only non government sponsored masked hero still operating, in his kitchen. Rorschach informs Dreiberg of the recent murder of The Comedian, the focal event of the graphic novel that gets the plot moving, and after an awkward exchange which ends with Dreiberg remembering the good old days of his and Rorschach's partnership and "whatever happened to them?", Dreiberg is left alone in his old Nite-Owl headquarters surrounded by the trappings of his superheroing days gone by, totally defeated by Rorschach's response: "You quit."
Granted, Dreiberg retired because of The Keene Act of 1977 which essentially outlawed all masked heroes unless registered with the government's blessing. This is the event that "forced" Dreiberg into retirement. He could have made a choice though, to continue his crime fighting exploits like Rorschach has. Later on, at dinner with Laurie Juspeczyk, aka the former Silk Specter and soon to be ex-lover of Dr. Manhattan, we see that Dreiberg is carrying around The Comedian's blood stained button, retrieved from his murder site. The button, thrown down on Dreiberg's table by Rorschach during his visit, like a gauntlet, a challenge to regain his identity as Nite-Owl and help him solve the mystery of The Comedian's murder, is a gauntlet that Dreiberg is now carrying, if not picking up and donning…yet.
As Dreiberg's journey toward the regaining of his identity as Nite-Owl progresses, two key events compel him toward the decision to don the cowl again: his impotent attempt at a physical relationship with Laurie, and his dream of both rebirth and death. In this dream sequence Dreiberg imagines both he and Laurie, engaged in a lover's embrace, stripping off their skins to reveal their hero costumes underneath only to die in the blast of a thermo-nuclear detonation. Dreiberg, shocked awake by this disturbing dream enters his underground headquarters and at Laurie's suggestion finally becomes Nite-Owl again, and with her as Silk Specter by his side takes Archie, his Owl Ship, out on patrol. After both newly re-costumed heroes rescue the tenants of a burning building, Dreiberg is finally able to consummate his relationship with Laurie, metaphorically re-consummating his relationship with life itself as well as his passion for his purpose in life: super-heroing.
Dreiberg's journey from a prematurely aged, impotent and defeated man living a life of quiet desperation, in a safe, acceptable and passionless way to preternaturally young, virile, victorious superhero re-living his passion and rediscovering that one can live passionately up to one's purpose, is easily the most dynamic action taken by any character in Watchmen and the most important. Dreiberg/Nite-Owl is the most important character in Watchmen because he is the most realistic and realistically imitable character in the tale. While Dr. Manhattan, with his attainment of near god-hood and master of the very secrets of life is an engaging character, the possibility of attaining the knowledge he does is unrealistic, if even imaginable. Likewise, while Rorschach's romantically appealing freedom and existence outside the confines of societal mores and morals makes for attractive escapism, Rorschach's life is dangerously self-destructive and only fancifully attainable at best, even metaphorically. Dreiberg/Nite-Owl's attaining of a passion filled life is very existentially attainable and is actually not really a metaphor upon closer inspection but an actual imitable act that we as readers can take to heart and actually put into practice in our lives.
How many of us are leading lives of quiet desperation either reminiscing upon times past when we were high school sports stars, or politically and intellectually engaged thinkers and debaters who stayed up with friends late into the night and early into the morning unlocking the secrets of the universe? How many of us, as adulthood took hold found ourselves bound by work-a-day life duties "working jobs we hate, to buy (expletive deleted) we don't need" (thank you Tyler Durden for all your words of wisdom).
The question we should be asking, and what Dreiberg/Nite-Owl does in his own way through the example of his actions in Watchmen is: How many of us "picked up the cowl" again and formed a weekend football or baseball league to reinvigorate ourselves physically? How many of us either re-entered the academic world or sought out literary or politically active clubs of like-minded men and women and re-engaged the asking of questions that lead to the unlocking of the secrets of the universe, at least in our own minds? How many of us picked up a pen and put it to paper to once again write, this time reviews or articles on an art form they love and dared to share their thoughts with others? How many of us not just "picked up the cowl" but "donned the cowl" in an effort to reignite our passions and purpose? How many of us shed or at least beat back our desperation and feelings of impotence to effect change in our worlds and lives, at least part time, possibly even at night, albeit without the help of an owl ship or fancy gadgets?
Dreiberg did. He beat back his impotent, desperate, pre-maturely aged existence with the help of an old friend turned new lover but more importantly by remembering and daring to be what he was passionate about: being a superhero. We all are being superheroes when we take the steps in our own lives to live and love passionately, and to acknowledge our purpose and talents, whatever they are. The journey Dreiberg takes to becoming Nite-Owl again is an inspiring one of change, rebirth and growth at the heart of Watchmen, and its most important story and lesson.

Thread: Any general public board for job postings?
Usually in Sweden, Thailand, Kambodia or Laos.
I just found this forum on the web searching for a job as a teacher.
I read that you could pay money to agencies etc. but wouldn't it be nice with a free board for everyone where schools can be rated and offers could be public and free?
I guess this would also benefit poor schools looking for both volunteers and teachers.
I love Linux Ubuntu, Wikipedia.org and other open and free stuff, connecting people and making it better and more accessible for all in a way that commercial things never could.
So, anyone have any comment to this?
If you do a search you will certainly find several of what you are looking for.
Engineering jobs not paying well?
In my case it is a matter of living every moment as a happy individual. Sitting in a cold dark Sweden in front of a CAD-system or filling databases with numbers resulting in more stuff we don't really need felt a bit boring after a while.
I have found purpose in my life and that is what I would like for everyone else to do as well.
In that case, good on you.
Do you mean English teaching ? DO you have experience? qualifications ?
I'd love to tech in Thailand and my main reason for this choice is that I like many of the Thai people and the Thai tropical climate. I also like Laos. I could maybe teach in other countries as well.
I would prefer a relaxed smaller city with less pollution and at least some tourists or other teachers to socialize with. It would be wonderful to live by a clean river or a waterfall or by the sea.
In my own experience Asian people tell me that they understand my English and often wonder why they do not understand English native speaking people.
1. We start in early age to learn Oxford English. In my case at the age of ten.
2. We watch English/American movies with Swedish subtitles.
3. Swedish is in the same language group as English.
4. In most cases Swedes are a gentle people with well developed empathy that are willing to adapt to the level of English of the human they are speaking with.
5. We understand grammar better than a native speaker because almost all of us learn an additional language, usually German, French or Spanish in addition to English.
6. And probably most important of all, we are less prone to use dialects and local slang that may cause confusion.
I have also been teaching physics, chemistry, technology and calculus for 14-16 year olds all together for approx. 3 months in Sweden.
I would love to mix teaching English with knowledge about environment and other things that the students have personal interest in.
I just had the recommendation from an English native teaching friend that I should just visit local schools where I'd like to be and just talk to the principal.
-So, What do you think, Willy? Good idea?
You will most certainly find a job in Thailand Engineer72, as I've done the same a couple of years ago, and just like you, I'm not a native speaker(Swiss). I didn't need a degree back then, as the language school I've been teaching for had an internal internet based testing system, in which I've surpassed every native speaker ever tested on in Chiang Mai.
Like you mentioned, empathy, motivation are extremely important, the real challenge is to get them to speak and really practice the language.
But don't forget that a couple of years ago the situation was different concerning legal issues, being a teacher on a tourist visa might not be the best idea anymore.
Legal is the only option for me.
in which I've surpassed every native speaker ever tested on in Chiang Mai.
Are the Welsh considered native speakers?
sorry didnt see this reply earlier.
I just had the recommendation from an English native teaching friend that I should just visit local schools where I'd like to be and just talk to the principal. -So, What do you think, Willy? Good idea?
Sounds like a good idea, then. try it.
I'm not the expert here, but i think you can be legal anyway, more difficult for some schools, but possible. And i agree with your stance.
I would really ask you to think about getting a teaching qualification in Sweden first, so you could get a proper teaching job at a proper school for a proper wage, rather than be a dancing monkey to a bunch of disinterested kids whose level is so low you'd need to bring a shovel to find it.
I think a good teacher will be able to find the motivation to learn and teach. You just have to get to know what they really want and to help them get it.
Maybe the kids are giving you the finger because you are bossing them and stuffing them like a dictator. Then you should definitely get the finger and quit. A teacher must be positive and see the student.
To be able to motivate is even more important than to have the actual knowledge as a teacher, because a motivated student will find the answers to his questions. That is what I believe.
Everyone is motivated by something.
I'm not a teacher or even a 'teacher'.
the usual cry of the less than qualified.
Look; don't tell anyone, but I'm a CIA Intelligence Agent on a special mission to see if there is any prostitution in Thailand.
You might Engineer, although it's a fair bet a lot of Svedes don't but...good luck, or chok dee krup as they say in Thai!
You are free to use that as an argument against the statement, but it does not prove that it is false. Maybe you find it hard to motivate the students?
Looking briefly at some TEFL-books makes me draw the conclusion that doing these courses for ME is pointless and probably pointless for 99% of the students that I am about to teach....maybe even harmful for their motivation when/if I start to use this "against" them, playing the role of a boring dominant teacher. I guess it is easy to get the finger doing that.
In my opinion it is better to make the students want to learn and create a dialog with them based on their personal interests. Then they are more likely to actually learn words and use them in real life. Reading books that interest them will make them get a natural feel for the language too.
If they want to know the grammar it is good, but in my opinion that is secondary, especially in Asia. The English grammar will always be a challenge and motivation is definitely the primary thing needed.
- Thanks for the link,Chassamui!
Why does it say "Pattaya" under my name? How do I change that?
Last edited by Engineer72; 04-04-2009 at 12:43 PM. Reason: adding a thank you and commenting on "pattaya".
Maybe you find it hard to motivate the students?
That's the second time in 6 posts you've accused others of when disagreeing with their advice.
but in my opinion that is secondary, especially in Asia.
So you have briefly read some TEFL books and are now suddenly a pedagogical guru.
Thailand neither wants you or needs you. You'd be best to follow MtD's advice and stay in Lapland and get some qualifications first. I've interviewed a dozen engineers for teaching jobs here, and not one could make the grade, I see no reason to think that you would be any different.


Constructed during the Ming Dynasty, the Zhengzhou Chenghuang Miao (City God Temple) has an impressive structure and tall gates. The main hall has a statue of Chenghuang, the town God, dressed in a judicial costume. It also has a mural that covers three large walls depicting the ethos of the socialist revolution. This is not a place of prayer anymore and no religious rites are performed here. But there are some classic exhibits here that show the cultural transformation that has taken place in China since ancient times. The first hall has and artistic sculptures of a phoenix and a dragon.

Акихиро Хаяси (; ) — японский футболист, вратарь клуба «Вегалта Сэндай».

Ранние годы
Хаяси начал заниматься футболом в раннем возрасте, обучался в молодёжной системе клуба «Касива Рейсол». Поначалу попеременно играл то на позиции полевого игрока, то в воротах. Уже в старшей школе окончательно стал вратарём. В 2003 году Хаяси поступил в старшую школу при экономическом университете Рюцу Кэйдзай в Рюгасаки. Вместе со школьной командой он играл на общенациональном молодёжном турнире принца Такмадо, где помог своей школе войти в восьмёрку лучших. В 2006 году Хаяси продолжил обучение в университете Рюцу Кэйдзай, где изучал спортивную медицину. Также он был игроком студенческой футбольной команды, которая выступала в Японской футбольной лиге, в то время являвшейся третьей лигой Японии. Команда университета Рюцу Кэйдзай в 2007 году выиграла Кубок премьер-министра, за который состязались студенческие команды со всей страны.

Летом 2009 года Хаяси, имея несколько предложений от клубов японской Джей-лиги, решил попробовать свои силы в европейском футболе. Он побывал на просмотре в клубах из Словакии, Румынии, Польши, Исландии и Англии. Около месяца Акихиро провёл в румынском клубе «Астра», но так и не заключил контракт. В сентябре 2009 года он перевёлся в Плимутский университет, а также получил возможность тренироваться с клубом английского Чемпионшипа «Плимут Аргайл». Но из-за отсутствия рабочей визы и разрешения на работу в Англии, Хаяси не мог быть задействован в официальных матчах. В ноябре 2009 года он побывал на двухнедельном просмотре в польском клубе «Заглембе» из Люблина, но контракта в итоге не подписал.

Клубная карьера
В июне 2010 года Хаяси перешёл в бельгийский клуб «Олимпик» из Шарлеруа, выступавший в третьем дивизионе Бельгии. Поначалу он был запасным вратарём, но 12 сентября 2010 года получил возможность дебютировать в официальном матче. В игре с клубом «Бохолтер» был удалён основной вратарь Джонатан Бордон, и Акихиро занял место в воротах. В сезоне 2010/11 он сыграл десять матчей, но закрепиться в составе не смог из двух травм правого запястья.

В январе 2012 года Хаяси вернулся в Японию. Участвовал в тренировочных сборах с клубом «Виссел Кобе», но уже в феврале заключил контракт с «Симидзу С-Палс», где с вратарями работал Дидо Хавенар, ранее тренировавший Акихиро в университете. 10 марта 2012 года Хаяси дебютировал в первой Джей-лиге, выйдя в стартовом составе на матч с «Нагоя Грампус». В сезоне 2012 года он был основным вратарём своей команды, начинал в этом статусе и сезон 2013 года, но после поражения от «Токио» 18 мая тренерский штаб стал чаще использовать на позиции вратаря Масатоси Кусибики, который в итоге вытеснил Хаяси из состава.

В августе 2013 года клуб «Саган Тосу», из-за травмы потерявший основного вратаря, взял Хаяси в аренду до конца сезона. За этот клуб Акихиро дебютировал 17 августа в матче с «Омия Ардия». В сезоне 2013 года Хаяси провёл 13 матчей за «Саган Тосу» и своей надёжной игрой в воротах помог команде сохранить место в Джей-лиге. Зимой 2014 года Акихиро заключил полноценный контракт с «Саган Тосу». В сезоне 2014 года он без замен провёл все 34 матча в чемпионате Японии и по итогам сезона был признан самым ценным игроком в составе своей команды. Хаяси оставался основным вратарём «Саган Тосу» ещё два сезона, причём в 2016 году вновь провёл все 34 матча в Джей-лиге.

30 декабря 2016 года Хаяси перешёл в футбольный клуб «Токио». Дебют вратаря в новом клубе состоялся 25 февраля 2017 года в матче с «Касима Антлерс».

Выступления за сборную
В 2005 году Хаяси был включён в сборную Японии среди игроков до 18 лет и с тех пор регулярно вызывался в различные юношеские и молодёжные сборные. В 2006 году он стал серебряным призёром чемпионата Азии среди юношей до 19 лет. Хаяси был основным вратарём сборной Японии среди игроков до 20 лет на молодёжном чемпионате мира 2007 года, проходившем в Канаде. На турнире Акихиро принял участие в трёх матчах, в том числе и в 1/8 финала со сборной Чехии, в котором его команда уступила по пенальти и выбыла из борьбы.

Хаяси был участником двух летних Универсиад: 2007 и 2009 годов. На летней Универсиаде 2009 года в Белграде сборная Японии выиграла бронзовые медали. Также Акихиро был кандидатом в олимпийскую сборную перед Олимпиадами 2008 и 2012 годов, однако в окончательную заявку так и не попал.

В течение 2014—2017 годов Хаяси регулярно вызывался в национальную сборную Японии, однако был резервным вратарём и на поле ни разу не вышел.

Thanks guys. Just a reminder: they don't want people saying anything about the game in public threads, even off site, although those comments are probably general enough as to be harmless.
But thanks though, really.

Fair point. I figured since both you and Dante where dead it was prob. Ok but I'll hold off going fwd.
Oh well mafia won. Very well played UDC, you did a lot better than i could have, and I look forward to your likely presence in round 2.

For those interested, the finale of the Mafia Championship Season 3 ended a few weeks ago, and you can read the game here: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/thr ... oopa-Troop
136 communities, 10 games and almost 6 months. In the end, the townies took home the victory, and Whiskeyjack from the westeros community was crowned the ultimate champion
Interest in a hydra event?
At least a dozen different communities this year expressed an interest in a so-called "hydra event", so it's finally gonna happen. If you don't know what "hydra" means, it's when two people share the same account (two heads). So the idea is that each participating community can send one or multiple hydras of two players, the advantage of which is that it's maybe easier to be active when two players are both playing on the same account, and it's also just a lot of fun
So maybe your community would also be interested in this. If so and if you're wanting to play and have a partner, please let me know preferably before Sept 14. Alternatively, you don't need to, but if you want, you can also go ahead and directly sign up in this thread, which also has a bit more info: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/thr ... Event-2016
So far, UDC/mhsmith are signed up as a pair for you guys, so that's already one strong ass duo. Maybe there's another to be made out there

Carmen Carrera: I Want to Be Me
By Maggie Freleng Jun 3, 2018
Carmen Carrera, a Puerto Rican-Peruvian model and activist, is also a reality TV star best known for being a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race. In this segment, Carrera talks to Latino USA about finding herself as a woman.
Carrera was born a boy in a small town in New Jersey. She says that she didn't feel right growing up and pretended to be other people. She experimented with different identities her whole life to find where she fit in. She also shares that only recently did she find peace as her true self after transitioning to a woman. Side by side Laverne Cox and Janet Mock, Carrera is considered a trailblazing transgender icon who many people admire for her resilience.

Grimsby Town manager Michael Jolley discusses summer business ahead of League Two season
Alex Whitmore, Louis Robles and Harry Davis are the club's three new arrivals so far ahead of 2018/2019
Liam WoodGrimsby Town FC writer
Grimsby Town boss Michael Jolley has made three summer signings so far
Grimsby Town boss Michael Jolley is confident all three of his new arrivals will make their mark in 2018/2019 at Blundell Park.
Alex Whitmore, Louis Robles and Harry Davis are preparing for their first campaign with the Mariners after signing on free transfers.
Jolley has tracked the progress of all three from his time with Premier League side Burnley and Crewe Alexandra.
Their arrivals have taken the number of contracted players up to 15, and the 41-year-old boss is looking forward to teaming-up with players he already knows well.
Town return for pre-season training on Monday, June 25, with the League Two kick-off scheduled for Saturday, August 4.
Alex Whitmore, Louis Robles and Harry Davis
Jolley told the Telegraph: "All three are good signings and I'm sure they can do well for us.
"Alex (Whitmore) was the one who was announced first and he is someone that I know from working with him at Burnley.
"I've worked very closely with him. He is a young player with potential to both come in and do well for us quickly, but also to improve and be a good player for us in the longer-term as well.
"I'm very happy to have brought Alex here."
Jolley added: "Louis Robles is a striker who I know from his time with Wigan, where he did extremely well. He was always a regular goal-scorers for their Academy teams and their Under-21 team.
"We are pleased to bring Louis here and he is potentially a goal-scorer for us, so that's exciting.
"And then Harry Davis is another good person who has got a lot of experience. And at 26 I think we are getting him at a good age.
"Most recently he has been up in Scotland, and has done really well winning the Championship with St Mirren."
Grimsby Town set to release 2018/2019 home kit and here is a sneak peek of the design
Having released 11 players when the club's retained list was announced, boss Jolley offered new contracts to a further six.
James McKeown, Andrew Fox and Martyn Woolford are all on-board for next season, but Town are waiting on Danny Collins, Luke Summerfield and Ahkeem Rose to make their decision.
Jolley continued: "There is no update at the moment I'm afraid. Both sides continue to try and work towards a solution and that's all I can really say."
Who should be Grimsby Town's new captain?

I was so excited when the first time Naughty Nuri's decided to open their branch in Melbourne. Even more excited when they invited me in to come. Now, long after their opening days. They decided to add some new creation and here I am again, invited in.
Having had only yoghurt for breakfast and lunch, I was ridiculously excited for dinner. It had been a long day and I was so happy when they offered us their signature cocktails based on famous couples. I ordered the Ellen Portia which had rum, pineapple and coconut cream and had the colour of minty green. It tasted of candy - not the overly sweet ones - it was like those yoghurt candy ones which was amazing!
We were served appetisers which I'm so grateful for as my stomach was way too empty for the delish cocktail. We tried the Tuna Appetisers which had marinated diced raw tuna with avocado puree served in a wonton cone. Whilst it's not exactly Indonesian, I loved the cheeky wonton cone which went well with the tuna! The Spanner Crab served with a crispy basil leaf was also a nice, light start to our dinner. My favourite though, was the Mushroom Croquette. So decadent with its crisp coating and its rich bechamel, mushroom and bbq-lime sauce! I glared at my partner as he attempted to take a cut off mine. That was how good it was.
We then moved on to our mains. First up was the Beef Shortribs with the beautiful roasted cauliflower. I don't usually attach the word beautiful to vegetables - but the roasted cauliflower did look very pretty and was so deliciously smokey. The short ribs were cooked well and everyone in our table enjoyed tucking in to it with their bare (or gloved) hands.
We were also served their Nasi Goreng, Beef Rendang and Stir Fried Mushrooms and Eggplant. The Nasi Goreng and Rendang was alright - personally, I think it could've used some more sweet soy sauce and a more wok-charry taste to it. Having been raised on nasi goreng and rendang as an Indonesian, I have unfortunately high standards for my nasi goreng and rendang though! I was really full at this point so I couldn't eat a lot of the mushrooms and eggplant!
Apricot sphere, coconut ice cream, rhubarb puree, violet candy on chocolate soil with liquorice herbs. The presentation was simple, but the flavour was everything but. The more you dig into the soil… Dig into the soil, get it? The more treasures you discover. At first it was a stroll among the liquorice herbs. Then you found Apricot sphere that marks the spot, where you dig to find precious violet candy, floating upon the underground stream of rhubarb puree. That dish was an adventure, more complex than it meets the eye. For me, the highlight was the precious violet candy. It was sweet in the most sophisticated way, calling it a candy was a classification error.
The mango pudding was less of a spectacle. Each of the elements tasted exactly the way they meant to taste, but the cohesive whole was not more than the sum of its part. It was a nice experience, on top of that you know your in Melbourne when the chef is from Mauritius, but Chinese, cooking a fusion Indonesian dish.
