Simone Dillon is employed as Food Services Manager here at Tait House Community Enterprise. After experiencing Tait House for the first time many years ago she says it was the beginning of something that changed her life. Here she tells us her story.
"I grew up in Southill and faced most of the challenges that others faced in that area over recent years. This was a part of the city that was hit by huge challenges over the past 3 decades. Southill was constantly fighting anti-social behavior, criminality, poor education and unemployment", Simone says.
She recounts particularly bad times and often experienced events that frightened her and her neighbours. Despite all of that she remembers Southill as a place that boasted an exceptional community spirit.
"We looked out for one another", she says. "We never wanted for anything. Neighbours were there for one another. Everybody's door was open and deep friendships were made".
In her early 20s, Simone was a single parent rearing twins. She found herself in a difficult position.
"I loved my kids but I was very young. In terms of a career I felt I had hit a brick wall. I didn't know who I was as a person let alone who I might become. I couldn't see the wood from the trees and thought that my potential as an individual had come to an end"
It was no easy task, but I faced the challenge and now speaks of her two 15-year-olds in the proudest of terms.
Simone's dad was a powerlifter and ran a power lifting club in Southill. She describes a man who was constantly helping people and fighting to keep them on the straight and narrow.
"He exuded such a deep sense of community, and passed on to me the desire to something similar. With the help of Tait House, I am so proud to say I do that to this day", Simone says.
"I was brought up to recognise that good parenting and the promotion of a strong community spirit are one of the most important factors in helping our young people to overcome any obstacles they might face at an early age".
Simone acknowledges the fact that issues such as depression, drug or alcohol abuse are extremely prevalent, not just in Southill but in every Irish community today. She recognizes how easy it is to go down the wrong path.
"I was lucky to have been brought up by a supportive family and a Dad who was strong and driven by a sense of community spirit", she says.
There is a new optimism emerging in Southill these days but there is little doubt that so much is still to be done. Simone is firm in her belief that an organization such as Tait House is a vital one to help build a strong community.
She describes Tait House as a 'mini university' and one that has enabled her to take on new roles and new challenges that have allowed her to excel.
"The opportunities that Tait offers the community are endless. I have been blessed to have had the opportunity of working on so many different projects since I first walked in the door"
"The support and mentorship available within the walls Tait House are second to none. You never feel alone. The opportunities to push yourself and to learn new skills are yours for the taking".
Tait House only asks for one thing in return- enthusiasm. If you bring a sense of willingness to learn, a desire to play your part and an openness to new challenges then you will be rewarded every day you spend in the magnificent facilities and grounds.
Simone has had a varied and diverse training since her early days in Tait House, experiences that have led to her taking on a number of challenging roles.
"The first course I took was a receptionist course which played a huge role in boosting my self-confidence. I then had the opportunity of working in the accounts department. This was an example of me being encouraged to work on a whole new skillset, enabling me to learn so much in terms of understanding the financial side of running a business. I then successfully applied for the role of Community Officer which involved the management of community estate maintenance, resident's advocacy, Tidy Towns committee development and so forth".
Her previous roles have included acting as PA to the CEO of Tait House. She also worked as a community officer for 2 years and worked on the likes of developing the O'Malley/Keyes Park Going for Gold entry (which came second overall in the competition), as well as developing the Tidy Towns initiative there.
"I sometimes reflect on a time in my life when I was a single mum, sitting at home feeling that I had completely lost myself. The idea of attending a 'meeting' would have been a massive challenge for me", Simone says.
"At times I struggle to believe that the person I am today is someone now fully comfortable in boardroom scenarios; experienced in positions of leadership; and advocating on behalf of others".
Simone notes the element of community employment and training that are offered by Tait House. But she believes the most important aspect of what the space does is enabling people to recognize their own self-worth.
"We are constantly welcoming people who have found themselves in long-term unemployment or have taken the wrong route in life for whatever reason. They are now trying to rebuild their lives. Tait House supports these types of people. It provides a multitude of opportunities for people from all walks of life", she notes.
The range of services offered under the Tait House umbrella are almost endless – counselling, upskilling, training, community enterprise, childcare, jobs clubs, legal advice, community classes. career guidance. The list continues to grow.
"I defy anyone to identify some part of their life that Tait House can't help with".
"Tait House encourages the people it welcomes to constantly better themselves and to participate. We inspire our people to break out of their comfort zone and to challenge themselves to excel. We strive to grow those we work with both as individuals and in terms of employability".
Simone now works as Food Service Manager after 'falling' into the role when the team at Tait House recognized the need to revitalise their food offering.
"I suppose you could say I volunteered myself. I love taking on new challenges and felt this was the right move for me. I had no background in the food services industry so I really was going into the deep end but I haven't looked back. Every bit of the previous training I received over my years at Tait House stood to me", she notes.
The food services side of the Tait House Community Enterprise involves the day to day running of a fully equipped café as well as the commercial kitchen located on site. The food services aspect caters for 130 children who attend the Tait childcare services, providing outside catering to schools and a dedicated meals on wheels service. The team are in the process of developing a corporate catering aspect of the business.
Simone says that the biggest learning she has taken from Tait House is to grab every opportunity that comes your way. She advises people not to be scared of a new challenge; never to limit yourself with set boundaries; always be open to developing your own personal creativity and to always seek the guidance of good mentors.
So what is her advice to anyone who may find themselves in the position she was all those years ago?
"Don't just sit at home feeling that this is it. Just come and visit us. Trust us. No major decisions need to be made. You will never regret the opportunities that Tait House can offer you. Take a small step and see what the future holds".

Accommodation in Sicily
Residenza Alfeo
The Residenza is a traditional harbour house with six lovely apartments over three floors and with the most stunning views of the famous Great Harbour in Ortygia.
The sea view from the flat is simply stunning! The area is peaceful during the day and lively in the evening. The studio has everything you need: the kitchen is well equipped (including essential food supplies), the bathroom has an excellent shower and the accommodation is tastefully decorated. The sun terrace is fantastic: spacious, well-equipped with table, chairs, sun deck chairs, shower and jacuzzi, and it allows for 100% privacy from the street below or from surrounding buildings.
Bicycles are available from the hotel and they are a great way to tour around Ortigia and Siracusa.
Residenza Alfeo is a true oasis of peace.
Sicily has a mild climate that makes it an attractive destination for much of the year: spring and autumn are sheer delight and though high summer temperatures really do soar, sea breezes in coastal areas take the edge off the heat.
Sicily is one of the world's most captivating places: with ever-present scent of lemon trees, purity of dawn light on terracotta walls, colorful decrepitude of Palermo's markets, drama of Stromboli erupting against a darkening sky, sense that history lurks always just around the next corner, reflective marble glow of late-night Ortygia and Marsala streets, the lonely majesty of Segesta, exotic flavors of Sicilian food and island's endless cultural complexities.

Something like pictures of regular vs lowered vs lowered and flared ejection ports, types of barrels, triggers-flat included, msh(s), hammers, types of checkering(?). Maybe functional and aesthetic changes. This would be great for us beginners.

Saturday, Sept 23
Took X to doctor to have stitches taken out. He wanted to keep using his brace for a while, and doctor said not necessary, but agreed. Then we managed to forget the brace anyhow. Went to store to pick up a few things and give X some freedom to walk. His incision bled. Maybe he should have kept the brace on after all. Doctor was wrong. It still needed protection.
Big winds last night knocked down a lot of birch branches, so we had another ritual tonight. Magic watched from window but wouldn't come out.

Summary: Zelink AU - Unfinished business in the past comes to haunt the present, a princess trains to be a Sheikah in the Rebellion, and Link finds himself caught in a struggle amongst agents of evil - each wanting to use him for their own purposes. A tale of forgiveness, redemption, love, and inner darkness that proves the absence of war is not the same as peace.
An epic I'm rather excited about. I don't know how often I'll be able to update, but if I get a big response to this I'll make time. 8D Let's see how many of my "A Love Story" readers return, haha! The idea for this mostly came from the fact that I didn't know how to follow up "A Love Story", so I decided to do something starkly different. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda
Part 1
That was the first thing twelve-year-old Zelda focused on. It was a heavy, oppressing darkness that sucked the air from her lungs. There was a burst of heat against her face and suddenly she was blinded as flames sprang up all around her. The crackling of the fire was deafening in her ears, and she felt fear rush through her body.
As she looked frantically around she laid her eyes on the dark figure of a boy who looked to be a few years older than her. His back was to her but he turned his head in her direction, as if feeling her presence . Zelda could only see one side of his face, but it was enough to show that he was strikingly handsome. Blonde hair blew back from his face, and he gave her an optimistic smile.
"It's going to be okay," he assured, the words seeming to contradict the chaos around him.
Suddenly he and the flames blurred like ripples in the water before vanishing entirely. The heat was gone, leaving Zelda shivering. She heard soft footsteps and whirled around to find a man approaching her. He was covered from head to foot in a gold cloak, only his mouth visible.
"Princess of Destiny," he said in a gentle voice, coming to a stop.
"Yes?" she replied tentatively, her voice seeming to echo in her pointed ears.
"It's time."
Zelda sat bolt upright in her bed, her heart thundering loudly. She looked around her dark bedroom, expecting to see flames, the man in the gold cloak, or the handsome youth that had smiled at her. But her room was empty, a breeze stirring her curtains. Her curving dresser was cast in blue shadow, and the furniture that was set to an area to one side was almost invisible in the dark.
Letting out her breath heavily, Zelda slumped and pushed her hair from her face. She cleared her throat and called out, "Impa?"
There was a pause before the door creaked open, her sheikah guardian peering in with a frown. "Zelda? What on Hyrule are you doing up this late?"
The princess pushed the covers away from her legs, her adrenaline making her wide awake. "I had a dream . . . a nightmare, maybe."
"Maybe?" Impa asked, taking a few steps in.
Zelda's eyes dropped to the back of her hand, seeing the faint glowing outline of a triangle, a gift from the goddesses that she'd been born with. She looked back to the sheikah. "I think the Triforce of Wisdom is trying to tell me something. I think it gave me a vision."
Link forced the shovel deeper into the dirt, the noon sun hot against the back of his neck and causing him to sweat. Putting one foot on top of it to push the blade down further, he dug up more dirt, throwing it into the pile he was creating. He had the sleeves of his green shirt rolled up to his elbows, his skin bronzed from working in the sun for hours a day. He could still hear the cows in the barn from where he'd recently finished his work, leaving a heavy hay scent clinging to him.
Link paused for a moment, glaring up at the sun. Midsummer in Hyrule always got too hot for his tastes, especially when he was doing outdoor labor. He dropped his gaze to Lon Lon Ranch around him, the horses drinking from their water and trotting about on the grass.
Most people would be appalled at the idea of a boy of twelve working for his own living, but it didn't bother Link much. He didn't want to be taken care of, he didn't want to be put in an orphanage, and he most of all didn't want anybody's sympathy. He'd grown tired of adults telling him "I know how you must feel" when in reality they had no idea.
He turned as Malon came up to him, her red hair bright in the sun.
"Yeah?" he asked, leaning on the shovel, gloves binding his hands to protect them from the hard work.
Malon looked sufficiently hurt, "Dad told me you're leaving at the end of this week. Why?"
He shrugged, gazing over at the horses. "I don't like to stay in one place for too long."
"Is something wrong?" she pressed, her blue eyes wide.
"No, nothing is." He offered her a smile. "You and Talon have been very nice to me, but I've been here a year and that's usually how long I stay in one job."
She fiddled with the orange scarf around her neck, looking anywhere but at him. "It's none of my business, but it might do you some good to settle down somewhere. You know, make friends and . . . have people there for you."
"Maybe someday," Link replied. It was an answer he was use to giving.
"Where will you go?"
He shook his head. "I dunno. I was thinking about going further out into the country. Small towns are more likely to hire kids my age."
"Well, if something ever goes wrong," she said, "you can always come back to your room here. Dad and I will let you stay as long as you like, and you don't have to work for us."
Link sighed. In other words, she wanted them to be like his family, which was not what he wanted. But he also would feel guilty if he stayed in someone's house, having them spend money on him while he did nothing in return. That wasn't the way he'd been raised. "Thanks, Malon, but I like to move about."
A smile tugged at her mouth. "You're a free spirit, Link, I understand. I just worry about you."
He grinned. "Don't, I'll be fine."
" 'Kay," she let out her breath. "I'll leave you to your work, then. Lunch is in an hour."
He watched her walk off, smiling. Malon was a nice girl; he would miss her. He vowed to come back and visit often. Sticking the shovel roughly into the dirt again, he let his mind wander. Excitement stirred in him, the kind he always felt when he was about to head off to somewhere new. His parents had always told him that he was a natural born adventurer. They had loved to travel, too, and had gone all throughout Hyrule. Of course, that had been before they'd been killed.
Link shoved away at the memory that kept him up at night quite often, but it persisted in showing him the images he'd wished he'd never seen. He and his parents walking through the streets of Castle Town at night. Two men coming from the shadows and killing them swiftly before taking their money, his mother's jewelry, and the dagger his father always carried. The men gave him a look before racing off into the night, leaving him to cry at their corpses. That had been four years ago.
Link dug the shovel forcefully into the ground, disgusted by what humans could do to each other. He had been working at odd jobs ever since, paying his way and staying at places to avoid being stuck into an orphanage. Soon he'd be old enough to buy his own place, and it was something he'd been saving for for a very long time.
Humming to himself, he continued his work, focusing on where he'd go at the end of the week.
Impa headed down the halls of Hyrule Castle, walking through the patches of sunlight that came through the windows. She glanced out, seeing a view of the green gardens that were spotted with vibrantly colored flowers.
Impa had a muscular frame for a woman, her black and blue leather clothes making it apparent. Her hair was white, but it was obvious in her face that she was only in her thirties. She had full lips and strong cheekbones.
Impa was a sheikah, one of the Shadow Folk, a tribe of warriors who guarded the royal family and were taught to enhance their human abilities to gain an advantage in combat. The sheikah were masters of stealth. Most began training when they were children, and it was a course that took fifteen to twenty years to master.
Upon completing her training, Impa's first assignment had been to be Princess Zelda's personal body guard. However, the girl's mother had died when she was very young, and Impa couldn't help but try to fill that role. She had become somewhat of a nanny for Zelda, and they were very close.
The sheikah stopped at the princess's door, knocking.
"Come in!" Zelda's voice sounded.
Impa opened the door, stepping inside. Zelda was lying on her bed amidst a sea of large books. Some were stacked, others were open, and one was directly in front of the princess, who was skimming the pages as she turned them.
"Zelda . . ." Impa trailed off, not even knowing what to ask.
The girl flashed her a smile. "These are all my legends, myths, and history books. I took them all down from my shelf." She scrunched her nose. "Some of these are really dusty."
Impa sighed, leaning against the doorframe. "What are you doing with them?"
"I'm trying to see if I can find anything in here that relates to my vision."
The sheikah shook her head, smiling. Zelda had been born with the Triforce of Wisdom, foretelling that she would have an important future. Zelda always spent much time reading from those books. She wanted to be well-educated in the history and legends of Hyrule, because she felt that it might be useful for whatever future awaited her.
"Here it is!" Zelda smiled, stabbing her finger down on one page. "The legend of the Hero."
"What makes you think your vision had to do with that one?" the woman questioned.
"Because the guy in my dream had blonde hair and blue eyes, and the Hero is always depicted with blonde hair and blue eyes."
Impa stood up from the door. "That's great, but I have to go. I'm going with the carriage to pick up our milk from Lon Lon Ranch. You stay with-"
"I want to come!" the princess piped, hopping off the bed and causing one heavy book to fall off with a loud thud. She proceeded to pull on her shoes.
"But . . . you haven't come in forever. You said it was boring."
"It is," Zelda nodded, "but I want to be on the lookout for the guy from my vision."
Impa shook her head, seeing how enthusiastic the princess was about unraveling her dream. Still, she took it seriously. If Zelda believed she'd been given a prophecy, she could very well be correct. "Alright, what does he look like?"
"He was about sixteen or seventeen. Like I said, blonde and blue, and he was good-looking. There was also a man in a gold cloak, but I think he'd be easy to spot."
Impa nodded. "Come on, then, the carriage is waiting."
Zelda followed her guardian down the halls of the castle, smoothing out her blue dress. She hoped she'd at least be able to get a handle on what her vision meant by the end of the day. Darkness and fire weren't good signs, but she tried to ignore those. After all, the young man in her dream had assured her that everything would be okay. Growing up knowing she had a significant role to play had also taught her how to deal well with stress. More than likely, she assumed something bad would happen that she would have to set right. It was her destiny, and she couldn't be frightened.
Aside from the way the young man had looked in her dream, resembling the Hero of Legend, there was also another reason why she'd turned to that story. The cloaked man had called her the "Princess of Destiny". Legend said that the Hero and the Princess of Destiny defeated a great evil. The exact nature of the evil wasn't specified, but it did offer some clues to help narrow it down.
There were a few books over demons and evils, and Zelda often spent her time trying to connect them with Hyrule's history and myths. She had a few theories about what the evil was that the Hero would encounter, and each made her a bit nervous.
She sighed, letting her anxiety slip away. It was no use to be worried now. She wanted to focus on only one thing at a time. The first: find this "Hero".
Link leaned the shovel against one side of the barn, pulling off his gloves to hook them over the top. It was almost time for lunch and he figured he should clean up a bit before eating. Lon Lon Ranch was filled with the sounds of horses' hooves, chicken clucks, and the sound of Link's own boots as he made his way toward the red house.
Suddenly Malon came from the front door, smiling at him. "Link! Can you get a crate from the barn? The royal carriage is here."
Nodding, Link jogged into the shade of the barn, picking up a wooden crate. The animals sounded at his presence, their stench clogging the area. He went back out into the sunlight to see the white carriage had pulled just inside the ranch. He took a few steps to it, stopping with the crate in his arms. Talon, the ranch owner and Malon's father, would use it to transport some products.
Malon hurried up to the carriage, putting on her most polite face. "Welcome to Lon Lon Ranch! My father will be out shortly to – Oh, Princess Zelda." She dropped into a courtesy. "It's a pleasure to see you here."
Link watched as a few workers from the castle hopped out of the carriage, followed by the princess. His eyes widened. He'd never seen the princess in person, and was amazed at how pretty she was. Her blonde hair blew out in the breeze, her light blue eyes sparkling with an inner energy. She looked over the house and at the barn before looking over at Link. She froze, her jaw dropping.
"How are you today, Princess?" Malon asked, keeping her manners in check.
"Fine," Zelda replied vacantly, not taking her eyes from Link. She slowly walked toward him, her shocked expression turning into one of disbelief and scrutiny. Link felt his own awe melt and confusion take its place as she walked right up to him.
"Princess," he said, nodding his head.
She stood there, her eyes narrowed in concentration. It looked as if she was deeply studying his face, and that made him feel self-conscious. He opened his mouth to ask her if she needed anything, when her hand came up and gripped his chin, turning his face to the side.
"What on Hyrule are you doing?!" he gasped, yanking his face free.
"What's your name?" she asked, taking a step back.
"Link," he answered, glad to have her out of his personal space. "Can I help you with something?"
"Link," she repeated, looking out over the ranch. "I guess you're working here?"
"What's your work schedule?"
He frowned, irritated at her invasive questions. "I'm working and living here, but I'm leaving at the end of the week."
Zelda looked like she wanted to say something, but thought better of it. She smiled. "It's nice to meet you, Link. I'm Zelda."
"Hi," he responded hesitantly. He inclined his head toward Talon. "Well, I'm gonna go help him."
Zelda watched as he walked off, her mind spinning. She turned and ran over to Impa, tugging her away from the group and into the shadow of the barn. "Impa! That boy right there, he's the one from my dream!"
Impa looked to where she was pointing, seeing a blonde haired boy handing a crate to Talon and conversing with the ranch owner. "Him? But he looks your age."
"I know, but it is him." Zelda sighed, running her fingers through her hair. "Maybe I saw him in the future?" She chewed on her lip, thinking as she watched Link leave the crate with Talon and head over to where the horses were, seeming to just want to not get in anybody's way. She took a breath. "I'm going to go talk to him."
She headed out into the open part of Lon Lon Ranch, the sun warming her skin. There was a black fence that ran around the horse corral, consisting of three horizontal bars with a vertical bar every few feet. Link stood on the lowest bar, his elbows resting on the top one as he watched the horses gallop about. Their coats of gold, brown, and black shimmered in the sun, their hooves stirring up puffs of dirt with each step. Tails flicked away at persistent insects.
Zelda stopped next to him, clasping her hands behind her back. He glanced down at her, giving a small smile before looking back to the horses.
"How old are you, Link?"
He inwardly sighed. Why was she so interested? "Twelve."
"That's neat, I'm twelve, too!" There was a moment of silence, and she dug her toe into the grass awkwardly. "So . . . are you related to Talon?"
"No," he replied, looking down at her. "They're just letting me live here while I work for them."
"Oh, that's nice."
"Do you have any siblings?"
She paused, before venturing, "What about your parents?"
"They're dead."
"Oh." She gazed at him sympathetically. "I'm sorry. My mother died when I was little, so I know how you must feel."
Link hung his head, looking down at his boots. There was that line again. He straightened, pushing himself up and turning around so he could sit on the highest bar, his back now to the horses. He stared down at her, his face cast in shadow. "Why are you asking me all these questions?"
Zelda shrugged. "I just want to know more about you." A smile pulled at her mouth. "I think you're special."
He laughed. "Special? I've never heard that one before, but thank you."
The princess grinned, resting her arms on the fence. She felt the tension melt between them, a more relaxed atmosphere coming.
"I've never seen you come with the carriage before," Link said.
"I thought I'd get some fresh air," she answered. "Hyrule is pretty this time of year."
He nodded. "It is."
"When I get back to the castle I have to go to my painting lessons." She sighed dramatically. "They're trying to make me into an artist, but they'd have a better chance with a blind person."
Link laughed, rocking on his perch. "It's the same with me. I have no artistic talent."
She grinned darkly, punching one fist into her other palm. "I'm more of a hands-on person."
He raised an eyebrow. "Very princess-like behavior."
"Impa's always telling me to act more like a young lady in public," Zelda replied. "But I can't help myself."
Link hopped down, landing lightly on his feet. The princess took note of this, registering his agility and balance. He wasn't particularly big or thick, but maybe that would work to his advantage, if he was, indeed, the Hero of Legend. He could be fast, rather than strong.
"I think it's kind of neat," Link stated. "You're not what I expected, but I like you."
Zelda smiled brightly. "I like you, too. I hope we'll be great friends."
He returned the smile. "Me too."
"Zelda!" Impa's voice sounded, calling the attention of the two. "We're leaving."
"Be right there!" the princess responded. She looked back at Link, waving. "Well, I'll see you."
He nodded. "You too."
Turning lightly on her heel, Zelda bounded back to the sheikah to return home. Link watched her go, leaning back against the fence. The carriage rattled out of the ranch, the stomping of hooves fading into silence. He was slightly taken aback by Zelda's persistent questions, and her blatant disregard for personal space, but there was something about her that he found quite likeable. She was pretty, certainly, but she had this energy in her eyes that was infectious. He smiled to himself, the breeze moving strands of hair in front of his face.
"C'mon, Link, the food is ready!" Malon called, peering from the doorway.
Pushing himself off of the fence, Link headed toward the house.
Zelda sat on a stone bench in one of the castle's many gardens, a book in her hands. Greenery was all around her, occasionally interrupted by a patch of flowers or fruit. The scent of the dirt and plants filled her nose, and she could hear birds in the branches. She had her hand heavily down on the book, keeping the fluttering pages in place, but her mind was elsewhere.
Link was the young man from her dream, of that she was absolutely certain. But why had he been older? She guessed she must have seen him speaking to her years from now, and although it relieved her anxiety, it also disappointed her. Did that mean she'd have to wait years until she encountered her destiny?
Sighing, she put the book down on the bench, standing up to stretch her legs. She walked along the stone path, planning on just doing a quick square around the garden. She looked at the bushes and trees as she passed, branches stretching out over her to cast her in shade. She bent down and plucked a purple iris, smelling its scent and smiling.
The gardens that filled the courtyards of Hyrule Castle had no parallel. Flowers were rainbows that rose over seas of lush green. Small and perfectly smooth stone were set in the rich dirt. Red ferns were open to the sunlight, and large bushes were perfectly shaped. A stream or two ran through the gardens, sparkling and bubbling.
As she went around a curve, a large tree blanketing the area in shadow, a man stepped from behind the trunk and into her path. She gasped, dropping the flower and taking a step back. But her shock quickly vanished as she was faced with the man in the gold cloak. The hem of it stirred across the ground in the breeze, his mouth set into a hard line. She couldn't see his eyes, but felt him looking at her.
"Princess of Destiny," he said in a gentle voice.
"Yes?" she replied tentatively, her own voice sounding stronger than she felt.
"It's time."

Guys what are the best country's in usa

I think you mean states....every state has something different to offer. All depends what you enjoy. You want city life...New York, Chicago, Los Angeles. You want beach, national parks, fishing, camping, shopping? What are you looking for? over 7 years agoAnswered by Purplespirit via Ask a Nomad iPad app

If you want Disneyland and NASA, you should go to Florida for Disney World in Orlando and then head east to the Kennedy Space Center on the Atlantic coast. over 7 years agoAnswered by JJetson via Ask a Nomad iPad app
I second, if you're into NASA, Disney & shopping, Florida is made for you-the Space Center, Disney, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, all have their largest complexes there.
Surrounding it all is shopping-discount/outlet malls, luxury goods & plenty of souvenirs. It's easy locating anything you could want-Stone Crabs on dry ice, Mickey Mouse tee's, astronaut ice cream...all at your fingertips.
Fl is home to some of the nicest US beaches, even islands are a short flight from some areas. If you enjoy nature/animals-visit 1 of many swamp/natural habitats, some which allow for interactions with dolphins, safari animals, alligators & more.
Searching for history & culture? Miami has a renowned Art Deco scene, 4 star dining & a chic feel. Many beautiful people visit & live there, enjoying nightclubs, beaches & hotels built to see & be seen in, plus authentic Latin/Cuban culture. Key West has more of a relaxed island feel & a very colorful, rich, interesting history including everything from Hemingway to ghost hunting tours. Another draw is the lively nightlife, gorgeous views & fantastic food, which incorporates flavors & techniques from many islands & cultures, with fresh seafood. Broadway shows & big name concerts are easy to find in most big cities, either as part of a tour, or permanent show.
Florida entertains a wide variety of sports; plenty to participate in: golfing on amazing courses, boating & water sports, deep sea & fresh water fishing, even race car driving . In addition to these, there's nationally recognized spectator sports: college & professional arenas & teams play basketball, baseball & football. Or watch NASCAR & horse racing, all depending on the season.
For a first visit to the US, Florida is a good choice-the weather is fairly mild year-round, it's a gateway destination in terms of easy international airport accessibility-many flights come in & out daily, from all over the world. One can spend as little time or money as they'd like..up to...skies the limit, while enjoying a variety of iconic places & activities that are unique to the US. Good for both families & singles/couples, of any age. Good luck, have fun! over 7 years agoAnswered by Ana S. via Ask a Nomad iPad app

Or if you have a little time on your hand you could do a road trip. I recently did a road trip from East to West coast and back. I covered quite a lot of places on my bucket list. It took me three weeks. Started in Providence, Rhode Island along the way did Boston, New York City, Niagara Falls, Chicago, Boulder, Steamboat Springs, Jackson Hole, Yellowstone, Sebastopol, San Francisco, LA, Anaheim(Disneyland), San Diego, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Washington DC. You may change the places as per your preference. I did stop at a few other places on the way but these are the more notable ones. I wanted to go to Miami but unfortunately had run out of time. I spent a couple of days or more at each place depending on how much I wanted to see. We did do a couple of hard days of driving but that was also because I cant drive and my partner had the unenviable task of driving everywhere ;) It was a pretty interesting drive most of the way except for the drive through Nebraska and possibly Nevada. A great way to see the country. We didn't make any hotel reservations anywhere and would just use Trivago or Hotwire to find the best place or would just walk into one of the Holiday Inn Express. I have to say I was pretty surprised with the quality. It was basic but if you just need a clean place to sleep during your drive, they would be my best best. We did splurge out on good hotels in all the major cities. over 7 years agoAnswered by VJ Sidhu via WorldNomads.com

The west has the most beautiful scenery. If you are looking for nature, or outdoor activities, you need to go west. California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho. Any of those will do, even though you could keep going and adding other states. about 7 years agoAnswered by Phawley via Ask a Nomad iPad app
I'm not sure what you're asking? But, Miami is a city in Florida, if that helps. Also, if you are looking for an Apple store in Florida, I think you will find at least one, if not more, in every big town in Florida, like Orlando or Miami, just search the store index for the largest/most popular malls or shopping centers, or look on the Apple website for all the locations in Fl. I wouldn't be shocked if the Miami airport, itself, didn't have an Apple store. The airport is giant, with a mall's worth of restaurants/food courts and retail stores selling everything from high end goods & jewelry to convenience type stores. about 7 years agoAnswered by Ana S. via Ask a Nomad iPad app

Privacy Complexities in M&A Transactions and Global Privacy Updates
How to Detect & Reduce the Risk of Fraud
Do you have an employee who never takes a vacation? Does your Controller always bring you invoices to sign at the end of the day on Fridays as you're preparing to leave? Are your financial statements and bank reconciliations perpetually late? If you answered yes to any of these red flags, you and your organization could be at risk of fraud.
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE)'s 2016 Global Fraud study found that organizations on average lose five percent of their annual revenue due to occupational fraud and on average, these fraudulent schemes lasted 18 months before they were detected.
Warning signs of fraud
Nonprofit organizations are particularly susceptible to fraud. There are three conditions that must be present for fraud to occur. To help protect your nonprofit, be on the lookout for employees facing:
Two of these conditions, pressure and rationalization, are beyond the control of senior management or boards, because they can't be easily detected. Even when they are, senior managers don't often view them as warning signs of fraud. Opportunity, can be taken away or greatly reduced by ensuring your nonprofit implements fraud prevention techniques.
Prevention techniques
You can make it very difficult to commit occupational fraud by implementing strong, but practical controls. The following are a few enterprise-wide examples you should consider:
Next steps
To protect your organization from fraud, it is more important than ever to create a strong culture of ethics and to implement even stronger financial controls. Contact your local Armanino nonprofit expert to learn more ways on how your organization can reduce fraud risks.

DE QUEEN, Ark. — A mother accused of smothering her three young children left notes that officials say could help determine what led to the killings, and her priest said Sunday that she had expressed "tremendous remorse."
Paula Eleazar Mendez, 43, was in a county jail Sunday after being treated at a hospital for swallowing a toxic substance.
She had collapsed as officers arrived at her southwestern Arkansas home Saturday morning in response to a telephone call from the children's father in New York. Inside the home, the officers found the bodies of the children, ages 6 to 8, lying side by side on a bed, said Chris Brackett, an investigator with the Sevier County Sheriff's Office.
"I do not believe there is any dispute as to who killed these three children, and therefore who will be charged," prosecutor Tom Cooper said. "However, we have not determined at this time the particular homicide charge or punishment we will be seeking."
De Queen Police Chief Richard McKinley said investigators needed a translator to read the notes that were written in Spanish.
A family priest who visited Mendez in a hospital Saturday night described a woman experiencing profound sorrow.
"She has tremendous remorse. She is deeply sorry," the Rev. Salvador Marquez-Munoz said Sunday before entering St. Barbara Catholic Church for Mass. "She asked for our prayers and forgiveness because she is realizing how much she has hurt the community, as well."
Autopsies were planned to determine whether the children had been poisoned or smothered, as their mother told police, Cooper said. The children's faces were not covered when police found them.
Cooper said an emergency room doctor told him Mendez had not ingested enough of the toxic substance to kill herself. Her arraignment is expected Monday, McKinley said.
In the house's yard Sunday was a seven-foot pile of burned papers. A page in a religion book bore the words "vamos a celebrar" — Spanish for "let's celebrate." A child's handwriting was scrawled in blue ink across some papers, and there were charred letters from a labor union in New York City.
The priest said Mendez, who moved to the United States from Mexico 10 years ago, had lived in New York until last summer, when she moved with her children to De Queen because wanted them to live in a safer environment.
He described her as a quiet, devout woman concerned about her children's welfare. She was not working, and her husband was supporting the family with a job in New York, he said. She and the children never missed Sunday services and attended religious education classes.
Mendez seemed "very loving," said M. Rocio Maya, 29, who attended the Mass and said she had known Mendez for a few months.
"Many times she showed me photos of her children," she said. "She showed me when she was pregnant with each one of them, photos of her husband, of the happy life that they had always lived."
She appeared to have few friends and "didn't go out on the street much," Maya said.
The children's father, Arturo Morales, 37, had planned to buy a house in De Queen with Mendez and move there for good, said Maya's husband, Juan Mosqueda.
Morales was to arrive in De Queen before a funeral was to be set.

Stars! They're just like us. You walk into a shop looking for a custom set of handle bars and a few years later you're selling a custom bike that costs more than a new Porsche.
That's basically the origin story of Arch Motorcycle Company, a lux bike maker started by Gard Hollinger of LA County Choprods and slacker-turned-digital-deity Keanu Reeves.
Reeves walked into Hollinger's shop back in 2007 looking for a set of bars for his bike, and Hollinger – clearly realizing the potential – transformed Reeves' stock cruiser into a fully custom build.
After that, the two decided to make something special, and their first bike is the KRGT-1, a $78,000 retro-styled kinda-cruiser with a massive 2,032cc V-twin putting out 121 hp and 122 lb-ft of torque... to the wheel.
The engine is a proprietary, 45-degree fuel-injected twin mated to a custom six-speed Baker gearbox. The swing arm is a billet aluminum piece, while the chassis is made of billet steel with aluminum bits holding it together. All in, it's just over 540 pounds wet.
Carbon fiber wheels are fitted to 43mm upside-down Ohlins up front, with an adjustable Race Tech unit out back. ISR calipers are mounted at both ends, with a six-piston unit slowing things down on the 18-inch front wheel. It's all high-end stuff, and combined with the tank – which supposedly takes some 66 hours to make – the KRGT-1 is built to appeal to a very discerning (and offensively wealthy) enthusiast. Pre-orders start now, with a $12,000 deposit getting your foot in the door. How it rides remains to be seen, but I really can't tell if Keanu is enjoying himself in the pic below.

- For other uses, see Sanguine Rose.
The Sanguine Rose is a unique staff in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. The Sanguine Rose is not an artifact most folk would care to have. It summons a lesser daedra to the user. The daedra will attack any other creature in the area except the bearer of the rose. The rose is like any other in that it will wilt. The more of its power that is used, the more wilted it becomes. Eventually all its petals fall off and it loses its powers. Somewhere in Oblivion a new rose blooms and is plucked by Sanguine himself to be given to a new champion.
Enchantments[edit | edit source]
- Summons a Lesser Daedra to fight for caster
Acquisition[edit | edit source]
The Sanguine Rose can be found by the Hero of Daggerfall after they have completed the Daedric Prince Sanguine's quest.
Quests[edit | edit source]
Sanguine's Quest[edit | edit source]
The Hero of Daggerfall must summon Sanguine on the 16th of Sun's Dawn to start the quest. After speaking to Sanguine he appoints you to a radiant dungeon to kill a monk. Following that he appoints you to a radiant town in the region, where you will meet his worshipper and receive the rose.

I am a Clinical Reader in the Division of Brain Sciences and Consultant Neurologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. My undergraduate training was in Oxford, and I subsequently carried out a PhD with Professor Masud Husain at Imperial and the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. Following this I completed Specialist Training and a NIHR Clinical Lectureship in London, before a Visiting Scholarship to Sydney, with Professor Simon Lewis and Professor John Hodges.
My work focusses on the cognitive deficits that are caused by Neurological conditions such as stroke and neurodegenerative disease, and developing treatments for these disorders. In particular, I am interested in disorders of attention and memory, and the use of imaging techniques to understand how they are caused. The aim of understanding these problems is to improve therapeutic effectiveness and I am actively involved in the development and assessment of novel treatments. I have carried out a number of drug trials in stroke patients with impaired attention, and am the lead investigator for a NIHR-funded treatment trial for Alzheimer's Disease. In addition, I am examining how novel therapies, such as brain stimulation, can improve attention after stroke.
I am involved in a number of collaborations, both within and outside Imperial College-these include studies examining the links between hearing loss and dementia, proof-of-concept drug trials in dementia and UK-wide studies assessing multiple biomarkers in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's Disease.
I have appeared on Sky News, ITV News and BBC World to discuss recent developments in the field of dementia, as well as a short film for the Guardian describing the spatial neglect syndrome (a common disorder which follows stroke).
Current and recent support for my research has come from the National Institute of Health Research, the Medical Research Council and the Biomedical Research Centre at Imperial College.

YES Bank shares climbed 8% intraday in Friday's session amid the private sector lender offloading a 9.47% stake in Eveready Industries.
Post the announcement, share price of Yes Bank rose 8% intraday to day's high of Rs 40.20 against the previous close of Rs 37.20 on BSE.
Share price of Eveready Industries rose 5.2% to Rs 67.35.
"We would like to inform you that the bank has sold 68,80,149 equity shares having nominal value of Rs 5 each, constituting 9.47 % of the paid-up share capital of Eveready Industries India Limited ('Eveready") in various tranches, last being on February 13, 2020 resulting into a change in holding of the Bank by more than 2% of the total shareholding of Eveready," YES Bank said in a filing to BSE on Thursday post market hours.
YES Bank stock price has risen 2% in one week and 2.46 % in one month. However, shares of the private sector lender have eroded 15.87% year-to-date and 92% in the last one year. The stock price also trades lower than its 30, 50, 150 and 300-day moving averages.
Market capitalisation of the mid cap stock currently stands at Rs 9,488 crore.
Volume-wise, 45.30 lakh and 1000 lakh shares are trading on BSE and NSE counters. Market depth data suggests 55% buying against 45% selling in stock today.
In July 2019, YES Bank had bought 9.47% stake in Eveready Industries by way of invocation of shares pledged by group company, McLeod Russel India Ltd.
This was on account of group company defaulting on repayment of credit facilities extended by the lender. The bank acquired overall 68,80,149 shares on invocation of pledge subsequent to default of terms of credit facilities sanctioned by YES Bank to McLeod Russel India.

Now, building housing cops' offices gets security cover
Concerned over repeated terror alerts issued to adjoining Dagadhusheth temple, the authorities install baggage scanner at Faraskhana building from where three police stations function out
Concerned over repeated terror alerts issued to adjoining Dagadhusheth temple, the authorities install baggage scanner at Faraskhana building from where three police stations function out
Repeated terror alerts to Dagadusheth Halwai temple have prompted the police to install a baggage scanner in the adjoining Faraskhana building, which houses two police stations and offices of high-ranking cops. According to the police, the building is located within 100 meters from this temple.
To be on the safer side: The Dagadusheth Halwai temple
Faraskhana building houses Faraskhana and Vishrambaug police stations. Offices of two assistant police commissioners, a deputy commissioner and an additional commissioner of police and the special branch also function out of the building.

Commenting on installation of baggage scanner, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone I) Dnyaneshwar Phadtare said, "We have installed baggage scanner at the entrance of Faraskhana building, considering its proximity to Dagadusheth temple and also taking into account the important offices housed here."
According to sources, the equipment, which was installed some eight days ago, will start functioning once the cabin is constructed. Faraskhana building is not the only police establishment in Pune to have baggage scanners. Last year, one such scanner was installed at the Police Commissioner's Office. It is understood that police headquarters at Shivajinagar will also have similar facility in days to come.
Security plans
Around 5,000 devoteees visit Dagadusheth Halwai temple every day. According to the police, they review of security arrangements of the temple on a daily basis. Deputy Commissioner of Police Dnyaneshwar Phadtare said, "We also ask the temple authorities to upgrade security measures from time to time." It is understood that temple authorities have been asked to construct a 7-ft tall boundary wall with bulletproof glasses on top. But they have claimed their helplessness to construct the same due to presence of shops and stalls around it.

USC's football and men's basketball teams improved their Academic Progress Rate scores in 2015-16, posting all-time highs, according to data released Wednesday by the NCAA.
USC football's multiyear score was 968, surpassing an APR of 965 it posted in 2008-09. Its average at this time last year was 959.
Its multiyear score for men's basketball was 969, a 10-point improvement from the previous high of 959 it held the past two years.
APR, a metric first introduced by the NCAA in 2003, tracks the progress toward graduation for athletes in all sports, measuring their eligibility and retention for each academic term. Teams must earn scores of 930 on a 1,000-point scale to avoid penalties. None of USC's sports teams will face penalties.
The Trojans, despite their record scores, remained behind most of their Pac-12 Conference counterparts.
Football's APR of 968 was tied for eighth in the conference with Colorado. Stanford was atop the conference at 985, followed by Washington at 984 and Utah at 983.
USC's multiyear score for men's basketball was 969, the eighth-highest mark in the Pac-12. Stanford, with a perfect 1,000 score, was first. Arizona State and Utah were tied for second at 990.
The Trojans were above the national average in both sports — 962 for football and 966 for men's basketball.
Five USC sports teams posted perfect 1,000 APR scores, including men's volleyball, women's beach volleyball, women's cross country, women's golf and women's tennis.
The baseball team's multiyear score of 997 had the next highest mark and the highest total in the Pac-12.
The women's basketball team multiyear score of 949 was the lowest among USC's 21 teams and 31 points below the national average. It was 10 points lower than the previous year, marking the fourth consecutive year it had dropped from an all-time high of 991 in 2011-12.

One by one, they lined up and waited for their turn at the microphone. Santa Clara County is weighing what it can do to help lift the working class of Silicon Valley out of poverty wages and these people had come with their stories – backed with powerful statistics:
- 30% of county residents fall below the self-sufficiency standard for basic costs of living
- 260,024 private-sector Silicon Valley jobs don't provide earned sick leave
In voices raw, poignant, some at times thundering, the people of Santa Clara County publicly petitioned their government to pass a countywide living wage ordinance. And to do so without delay. Speakers at the Aug. 25 forums, hosted by the county Office of Human Relations, included teachers, leaders of faith, and heads of non-profits ranging from Silicon Valley-NAACP to the local United Way.
Also present: the single mom who sends her sick child to school for lack of paid sick time at work; the father who works 16-hour days driving a private bus whose family is one paycheck away from disaster; and the young immigrant shouldering the hopes and dreams of a whole family on her 19-year-old frame.
"Let's have Silicon Valley lead the way," said Velia Esquivel-Ferguson, a county public health nurse and a member of SEIU Local 521. "Let us be leaders on this war on poverty."
The public forums were held at the urging of local social justice organizations, like The South Bay Labor Council, Working Partnerships USA, and SEIU Local 521 to collect public input as the county considers pursuing a living page policy with:
• Fair Compensation – living wage level with increase for inflation
• Health care – health benefits with earned sick leave
• Fair work week – access to enough hours to earn a living, plus predictable and flexible schedules
• Opportunity – opening doors to good jobs for our local, diverse workforce
• Voice at work – anti-retaliation requirements and labor peace requirements
Univision found Omar Vasquez at the forum and broadcast his story.
"I get paid twice a month," said Vásquez, a bus driver for a private company. "One check goes to the rent, and one check goes to food, card bills, gas, PG&E and cell phone. I can't afford losing one day of work; I don't get benefits, I don't get health insurance. I'm forced to work 16, 18 hours a day. We need a living wage."
Salvador Bustamante, director of Latinos United for a New America: "A living wage ordinance that applies to County contractors, would serve as an example to all employers in the Valley to pay a decent wage for all workers to have a decent life."
Carmella DiSopa, a revenue collection officer for the county, said she sees first-hand the consequences of workers unable to survive on poverty wages.
"A strong living wage policy will stimulate our economy by allowing people to spend more at local businesses," said DiSopa. "It will also reduce the demand on our public services. It would definitely allow me to honestly say that I am proud to be an employee of the County of Santa Clara."
Committee members asked for copies of speeches, even if they were scribbled notes, in order to prepare a full report for the Board of Supervisors. You can still have your say by sending in written testimony here. The future of thousands of working families in Santa Clara County is in their hands.

This is because in this case also, gridmix tries to create relative path under ioPath/ and thus the same issue. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Overseas family holidays are a relatively recent concept in the UK. They came about as a result of air travel becoming affordable to people on average incomes. While they are still very popular, there are clear indicators that people are now beginning to remember the benefits of holidaying in the UK and so the "staycation" market is now growing again and looks set to be a major niche going forward into the future. This brings exciting opportunities for property investors, particularly buy-to-let landlords, and so here are three tips to make the most of this growing market.
Remember that many staycationers are driven by factors other than cost
Some people may link holidaying at home with economic turbulence, such as the Brexit factor. This may be the case for people who opt to stay in their own home and just enjoy down time rather than flying off to the sun, but is not necessarily the case at all with those who are going away from home in the UK. In fact holidaying in the UK may not be at all cheaper than going abroad, but it does offer three other benefits any or all of which could encourage people towards this option. Firstly it avoids the need to negotiate airports or seaports, especially with young children, secondly it is a far more environmentally-friendly option for short breaks and thirdly it simply allows people to see more of their own country. Keep this in mind when looking at potential investment properties and when creating your marketing literature for them.
Include management and marketing when considering your costs
Staycation lets are, by definition, short-term lets, which means that every time your guests change, your property will need to be "changed over" in the same way as hotel rooms do, which will, of course, require either your time or the cost of a cleaner. You may also find it advisable to offer regular cleaning during your guests' stay (at least if they are staying more than a day or two) as hotels do. This not only makes life pleasanter for your guests, but also provides an opportunity to see if anything is amiss. Marketing is the other major cost for staycation properties, as compared to regular buy-to-let. In particular, unless you have the expertise and equipment to take decent photographs, then you will need to find (and pay) someone who does.
The staycation market is also a regulated one
By this point, the staycation market is essentially too big for authorities to ignore and, at the moment, central and local authorities are both looking at the challenge of how to balance the needs to investors with the needs of those who live in an area and who do not, for example, want flats in their block being used for non-stop parties. Future regulation is probably not going to be too much of a concern for serious property investors, in fact it may even be a benefit by shaking "fly-by-nights" out of the market. You will, however, need to keep apprised of current legislation both at national and local level.

nyc-etc: 48 hours in stockholm, sweden
Oh, Stockholm.
Of the three cities we visited on our trip, I had the least "feel" for what Stockholm would be like.
And it blew. Us. Away.
Stunning, beautifully preserved streets and buildings. Gorgeous little shops, restaurants and bakeries.
By the time we got to Stockholm we realized that 2 1/2 days in each city meant making choices on what to see and do. And we decided that soaking in the city – with lots of walking and eating along the way – would take precedence over time spent in museums, palaces and galleries. As this is not for everyone, I've included a list – at the bottom of the post – of all the things we WOULD have done if we'd had a few more days.
Once again we were blessed with the good fortune of a fabulous tour guide (arranged by our stellar travel agent), who spent the whole morning with us on our first day. Gabby was warm, funny and FULL of good information on what to do/eat/see. And just like in Oslo, we saw some sights that we would have definitely missed if we were on our own.
We started the morning in Gamla Stan ("Old Town") – one of the largest and most perfectly preserved medieval city centers in Europe, dating back to the 1200's. The winding cobblestone streets are filled with colorful old buildings, painted in varying shades of gold, and it is like walking around in the pages of a fairy tale.
There are no end of cafes, restaurants and shops, but I suggest seeing it as we did – early in the morning, when everything is still closed. The streets are mostly empty, and the town has a completely different feeling than it does later in the day. We did go back the following afternoon – to check out all the stores and bakeries we had passed – and sure enough the tiny streets were mobbed with tourists.
While you can't make a wrong turn in Gamla Stan, I do recommend a few places to put on your to-do list:
Stortorget – the oldest square, and right in the middle of Gamla Stan. Lined with beautiful, colorful buildings, it also contains our very favorite bakery from the whole trip. Grillska Husets Brödbod had the usual selection we had become accustomed to seeing in Stockholm, but also some unique offerings that were nothing less than swoon-worthy (
one of which I will be re-creating here soon; here they are!). We got a lovely array and sat on the terrace of the adjacent cafe for a beautiful afternoon of people-watching and listening to music. Polkagris Kokeri is the most charming shop, turning out handmade traditional Swedish candies since the 1800's.
A perfect stop for souvenirs, as they are as beautifully packaged as they are delicious. Kalejdoskop is the cutest little toy store; we picked up several things for Noah here. Tomtar and Troll sells handmade gnomes and trolls in all shapes and sizes.
Right over the bridge is the island of Sodermalm – where there is much to do, especially in "SOFO". Tons of vintage shops, design stores, galleries, cafes and restaurants. We had a few "must see's" from our list here, and we hit them all. Parlans makes caramels of the highest quality, beautifully packaged. And the gigantic chocolate-dipped meringues from Chokladfabriken?
I'm not the least bit ashamed to tell you that they were our dinner one night (well, maybe I'm a little ashamed….). We LOVED Alskade Traditioner – whose interiors look like a Swedish take on a 50's American diner.
The decor is 100% vintage/retro and the friendly staff serves up delicious pastries, snacks and meals all day long.
Note: Swedes have a lovely custom called "fika" – it's like a coffee break, but more. Fika is both verb and noun and refers to any time you take a break – with a cup of coffee (or tea) and a baked good. And it's not an "on the run with a paper cup" break. It's a time to slow down – either alone or with a friend, at home or at work – and truly savor the moment.
Grandpa warranted several visits. An uber-stylish store filled with clothing, shoes, accessories, vintage items, design and assorted knick knacks. I think we touched EVERYTHING. Right down the block is Coctail – an explosion of kitsch, selling vintage and newly manufactured nostalgia – mostly from the 50's. Swedish minimalism is not to be found here. We wanted to try Meatballs for the People but they were sadly closed for holiday. Try to go if you can!
We finished up in Sodermalm on Monteliusvagen – a quarter mile walking path with the most amazing views of Stockholm. A bit tricky to find but WELL worth it.
Pictures do not do it justice.
Which brings me to the highlight of our stay in Stockholm – Rosendals Tradgard. A true "hidden gem" – and one we would have never ventured to on our own – we were led there by our tour guide, with the promise that this is where all the locals go.
A botanical garden, cafe and bakery, do not leave Stockholm without spending at least part of a morning or afternoon here. The cafe – set in a greenhouse – serves up lunches, salads and pastries using the garden's own biodynamically grown vegetables wherever possible, and bread from the artisanal bakery (the whole cafe is certified organic).
The bakery houses a wood-fired oven and produces breads and pastries using the best ingredients and made completely by hand.
And OMG the farmshop – you can purchase the breads and cakes to go, flowers, vegetables, preserves and pickles, and a selection of books and crafts. Unfortunately the only thing you CAN'T buy is the staff tee shirt (I asked). We LOVED it (thank you Gabby!).
We managed to save room for a second round of desserts at Bla Porten – again, on Gabby's recommendation. A lovely cafe set in a pretty patio garden.
So. Good.
And of course we shopped! While we're lucky to have & Other Stories and COS here in New York, it was so much fun shopping in the country they originated from (did you know that both chains are spin-offs of H & M?). Swedish women – of all ages – are seriously THE most stylish I've ever seen; I was super glad to have packed my Stan Smiths and silver Birks.
Note: Chelsea would not permit me – under any circumstances – to visit the Hasbeens flagship. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't. #teamclogs
Clearly there was so much we didn't get to see. But we DID accomplish our goal of soaking in the city, people watching and eating all the things. Here is a (I'm sure VERY incomplete – please chime in!) list of places that you should look into if you're planning a visit:
Fotografiska – I was truly sad to miss this as it is an amazing photography museum, located right in Sodermalm. It also houses an award-winning restaurant with some of the best views in the city.
Hermans – about 5 minutes from Fotografsika, this restaurant serves an all-you-can-eat vegetarian buffet (much of it vegan), as well as a large selection of homemade vegan desserts – all in a beautiful garden setting.
If you visit Rosendals Tradgard (and you MUST), there are many other things to do on Djurgarden. There is Skansen – the world's oldest open-air museum (much like the Oslo Folk Museum). It dates back to 1891, and features houses and farmsteads from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. There is also a zoo and an aquarium. Also on the island is the Vasa Museum – home to the Vasa ship, which capsized and sank in Stockholm in 1628 on its maiden voyage. After 333 years the ship was salvaged and has been painstakingly preserved over the last 50+ years. There's Grona Lund – Stockholm's amusement park, and (wait for it) the Abba Museum.
Meatballs! – I know, we went to Sweden and didn't eat Swedish meatballs! Don't judge. In addition to the aforementioned Meatballs For the People, here are few spots that kept coming up again and again in my research: Gastabud, Kalf & Hansen and Backfickan.
Finally, two more foodie stops that I would have liked to see had there been more time: Snickarbacken 7 looked super cool – a café, art gallery and concept store all in one space, offering a selection of vintage fashion, music, books, magazines and more. And we literally tore through Ostermalm Food Hall (it was just about to close). The beautiful original hall – dating from the 1880's – is currently under renovation, but all of the stalls and restaurants have been moved to a temporary market right across the way.
Which leads me to the question of how you all like to travel – particularly when you are visiting a city (versus a more beachy trip). Typically I've traveled to one city at a time, spending 5-7 days, and trying to see mostly everything. This trip was so different – I was in three cities, and had to hone in on what was most important for me in each place. Would you have tried to see more museums? Crammed more into each day, leaving less time for lingering over a coffee? Would love to know!

Introduction: VBS - Self Writing Shutdown
this is a cool script that I put together in like 5 mins so here it is .. also please comment ty =] ...
what this script does is it opens cmd, then types 'shutdown -s -f -t 10' ten in makes the computer press enter! it's cool because it looks like the pc has taken control and is shutting down your pc!
please enjoy and comment..
tell me of any bugs or Admin rights.
Step 1: How It Works
all this script uses is:
set shellobj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") :this makes an object .. for later.
shellobj.run "cmd" :this is using the object we have just made and using it to run cmd.
wscript.sleep 2000 :this make it sleep .. here it sleeps for 2000 minisecs ..i think could be smaller.
shellobj.sendkeys "s" : this uses the object to make it type something here it would type the letter 's'.
the code is attached.
!!!!!!!! make sure you name it .vbs not .itsavbs !!!!!!!!!!
hope you like it please comment on it =]

Cool! I added it into a prank vbs file
Can you send the mouse cursor to a place on the screen and then tell it to click or right-click using something like "sendkeys"?
i found out how to do this, but its not using vbs its using cmd but don't know if that makes a difference.
i use that web site a lot it has lots of helpful commands and cmd add-ons.
hope i helped .
Why, thank you, my good sir! You can also do this with NirCMD.
it is very easy in vb.net but i can't find how to do it with .vbs
It says Access Denied...
if you try this at a school, library, ect. some of there computers have a security system that blocks all cmd commands and some block vbs as well. if it was on your pc check you admin rights because all this does is type a very simple command that is used often.
I'm trying to learn a bit about VBS but I can't find any really good (and very few decent) sites about it. How did you aquire your knowledge about VBScript?
mostly the w3schools web site ... they have tutorials on all scripts ... but also I have the vb.net program sp the scriptings the same but program dos hard bits for you
on the W3S website all i found was VBScripts for a web page. is this the same thing? or could you give us a link? great instructable!
most of the scripting is the same but there are bits that are different, but i normally try to make my project myself untill i get stuck then i can just search for that thing eg. send keys... and you get lots of hits telling you how to do that thing.
Lol, Cheers for this, i'm able to cut and paste to make a program that asks me which of 4 options i'd like, they start talking to my friends, and it leaves enough time for it siting there they think i'm actaully talking to them and they fall for it everytime... I change it often
Lol sounds like fun ... im glad i helped
