Baslicon Dolmen
Waterville, Co. Kerry
03 May Baslicon Dolmen
Posted at 23:42h in Completed, Portal Tombs	by	Howard
"When Lugaid, son of Ith, was bathing in the lake, and Fial, daughter of Mil, his wife was bathing in the river that flows out of the lake, Lugaid went to the place where was the woman, he being naked; and then she looked on him. Thus she died of shame at once, and from her is named the river with its creek. Downcast was Lugaid after the woman's death…"
Leabhar Gabhála Éireann (The Book of Invasions), eleventh century1
Drag within the image to explore the Baslicon Dolmen and Slab in virtual reality.
This low portal tomb two km (1.5 mi) south of Waterville is said to be the grave of Fial, this mythological woman of modesty. A local schoolteacher, Mrs. O'Shea, retells the story in a 1979 interview (below right).

Fial's husband, Lugaid, was part of the invasion force attacking Ireland in retaliation for the Tuatha Dé Danann kings who murderd his father, Ith.2
Fial's final bath came after her people, the Milesians, landed on this coast during this military expedition. This was the last of the series of conquests of Ireland depicted in The Book of Invasions (Lebor Gabála Érenn).3
While the putative date of this Milesian invasion was 1,000 BCE, archaeologists would argue that the dolmen, now called a portal tomb, dates from the Neolithic period, as early as 3,500 BCE. It is difficult to know what parts of its legend, not assembled in written form until the eleventh century, may reflect the oral traditions of the Iron-Age warrior culture and what parts of it may be a Christian gloss upon the earlier stories. Indeed, one meaning in Irish of the woman's name "Fial," is "modest."4
Certainly modesty was a trait held in high esteem by the later ecclesiastical authorities, who could point to the mythological tradition as a validation of their moral system in contrast to what may have been the immodest excesses of earlier pagan practices. Much later, in the eighteenth century's pre-romantic Celtic revival, it was understood as a political act to adopt the notions of Gaelic antiquity, even those that may have been a "pseudo-historical contrivance," and understand them as a legitimate patrimony.5
We do know that Fial's father, Mil, was the eponymous ancestor of all the Milesians, the invading Spanish tribe who in legend began the racial strain of today's Irish. But the story tells us nothing else about Fial. It is said that while bathing in the river she did not recognize that the naked warrior about to join her in the water was actually Lugaid, her husband. Her shame as her nude form was seen by an equally exposed man she presumed was a stranger was so profound that it caused her to collapse and die. After Fial's sudden death Lugaid was moved to compose these verses:
"Sit we here over the strand,
Stormy the cold;
Chattering in my teeth, — a great tragedy
Is the tragedy that has reached me.
I tell you a woman has died,
Whom fame magnifies;
Fial her name, from a warrior's nakedness
Upon the clean gravel.
A great death is the death that has reached me,
Harshly prostrated me;
The nakedness of her husband, she looked upon him
Who rested here." 6
Mrs. O'Shea recounts the tale of how Fial came to be buried within the Baslicon Dolmen.
The virtual-reality environment (above) begins at the portal tomb said to be Fial's monument. A hotspot will link to a large flagstone at the other end of the field.
The preservation of the Baslicon Slab, explains Michael Moriarty, was in part due to the folk beliefs of the area.
This stone, according to local lore, has on its surface a mark said to be made by Fionn Mac Cumhail when he slammed his hand down onto the rock. This story is contained in the video of Michael Moriarty, below left, recorded in 1979.
As is the case with monuments throughout Ireland, when connected to folklore a stone is considered deserving of special protection. Certainly removing the stone would have made the field more useful for agriculture. But when the other large stones in the field were bulldozed away, this one was never touched. The townland named here, Baslicon, is translated as "palm of the hand."7
Just north of this location are the four Eightercua Alignment stones, also connected in legend to the invasion force. Other visitors to this area may have heard different tales, based also on the place-name stories in the mythological histories of Ireland. In a nineteenth-century travel journal published as a tourist's guide to Ireland, the Baslicon portal tomb, here labeled an altar, was ascribed to a different warrior of the invading Milesians:
"I then left the road to see another Pagan monument, which has also a fine view over the Skelligs and Ballinskelligs bay, and of the rocks near its mouth, where, according to the tradition of the surrounding peasantry, Irr, the son of Milesius, was drowned in attempting to land. Hence they say that the name Ireland has originated: that the other brothers, with their followers from Spain, succeeded in landing, and subsequently obtained possession of the country: and that from gratitude for their conquest, they erected those altars which are so often seen in this part of the island." 8

Who are the best defensive players in the 2020 free agency class?
Kane Pitman
Typically, when fans and analysts are dissecting an upcoming free agent class, the offensive skillsets of the players are top of mind.
In an era where the worth of 3&D players is at a premium and the overall offence in the league continues to surge, more emphasis on what upcoming free agents can do on the defensive side of the floor is valuable.
While the exact date for the beginning of free agency is not yet known, it will be soon upon us, so let's take a look at some of the best defensive players in this year's group, including some under the rader value options.
Rim protectors
Serge Ibaka, Toronto Raptors
Ibaka is likely to be highly coveted in this season's free agency, with the 31-year-old re-igniting his career with the Raptors.
A tremendous shot blocker in his early days with Oklahoma City, Ibaka's numbers have slowly trailed off as he has aged. Last season, his block percentage of 3.0 was his lowest mark of his career, resulting in an average of 0.8 blocks per game -- the first time he has dipped under one block per game in his career.
Despite the slippage in counting stats on the box score, Ibaka still held opponents to 51.5 percent shooting within 6-feet of the rim according to NBA.com, proving he is still an influence in the paint.
Dwight Howard, Los Angeles Lakers
In a statement that many assumed would never happen after bouncing around multiple franchises: Dwight Howard is an NBA champion.
Playing a role and proving to be an exemplary teammate in Los Angeles, Howard appears to have extended his career in the league. After being an automatic starter throughout his career, Howard moved to the bench for the majority of the season, seeing 18 minutes of playing time per game. Still athletic enough on the defensive end, Howard is a valuable asset against teams that have traditional big bodied big men.
Averaging 1.1 swats on the season, his block percentage of 5.4 was his highest mark since 2010. No longer an All-Star caliber player, Howard would be a valuable role player on a contender if he doesn't return with the Lakers.
Hassan Whiteside, Portland Trail Blazers
What exactly is Hassan Whiteside's value?
Coming off a monster contract intitially signed in Miami, Whiteside continues to be a maligned player around the league. When engaged, he can be a difference maker defensively....how often you get the required level of engagement will cause teams to question his fit.
Opponents shot just 49.5 percent within 6-feet when defended by Whiteside last season, which for reference is just 1.1 percent higher than opponents faired against Rudy Gobert.
Nerlens Noel, Oklahoma City Thunder
Now we reach one of the more intriguing free agents on the market.
Basketball-Reference gives Noel two nicknames: 'The Eraser' and the 'Nerlen Wall'.
Now, if you are going to try and claim those nicknames, you better be getting the job done on the defensive end. The 6th overall pick from the 2013 draft has in many respects failed to live up to lofty expectations in his rookie season, but he has filled his role as an energy big off the bench with the Thunder.
Averaging 2.3 blocks per game, Noel can be disruptive in the paint, often times sparking transition offence with blocks and deflections. He's not a marquee name on the market, but there should be interest in Noel.
Jae Crowder, Miami Heat
As the Miami Heat made their remarkable run throughout the postseason, Crowder was drawing attention for his at time blistering shooting from beyond the arc. What should stand out however is his defence, with his combination of size, strength and athleticism making him a weapon on that end.
Crowder spent stretches guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum and LeBron James in the playoffs, three vastly different All-Star players, showing off the value he has to a contender.
After joining the Heat just prior to the trade deadline in February, his impact on the Miami roster should have them wanting him to return, it will simply be a matter of cost.
JaMychal Green, Los Angeles Clippers (player option)
Now the definition of wing is a little loose on JaMychal Green, who was one of the more underrated role players on the Clippers roster.
While he did see 20 minutes of court time a night, Green's value defending is diminished in a team with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Montrezl Harrell soaking up major minutes at his preffered positions on the floor.
At 6'8", 230 lbs, Green has the size and strength to slide up or down defensively, according to Cleaning the Glass, he spent 91 percent of his minutes at the four spot, with the rest of his time going to a small ball five role.
With a player option worth $4.8 million (usd) for 2021, we will soon find out how much Green wants to stay with the Clippers for year two of the Kawhi-PG era.
Wesley Matthews, Milwaukee Bucks (player option)
Stepping into the Milwaukee starting lineup for the departed Malcolm Brogdon, Wesley Matthews became the Bucks stopper on the wing. Not needed to play a dynamic role on offence, Matthews was Mike Budenholzer's go to man against superstars like James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James.
Now 34 years old, Matthews absolutely outplayed the $2.6 million (usd) player option he has for the 2021 season, but in a difficult financial period, it's hard to know if more money is going to be on the table.
Avery Bradley, Los Angeles Lakers
Avery Bradley's teammate, Rajon Rondo nearly made this list, but then it had to be acknowledged that regular season basketball exists.
If you can't remember all the way back to the regular season, you may have forgotten about Bradley, who filled a critical spot in the guard rotation of the Lakers prior to opting out of the season return.
Bradley started in 44 of his 49 appearances last season for the Lakers, providing excellent perimter defence in holding opponents to 30.5 percent shooting from 15-feet and beyond according to NBA.com.
Fred VanVleet, Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors are set to be one of the more interesting teams to watch in free agency. With the above mentioned Ibaka on their list, the Raptors could lose Marc Gasol and Fred VanVleet from their championship core.
After a breakout 2019 playoff run, VanVleet continued his surge as one of the more impressive two-way guards in the league, thriving in Nick Nurse's diverse defensive scheme. VanVleet stands to earn a big money deal this offseason, it just remains to be seen whether the Raptors will be willing to part with enough money to entice him to stay.
If the Raptors enter the 2021 season with the backcourt of Kyle Lowry and VanVleet they could once again contend for home court in the first-round of the postseason, if they lose the latter it could force a short reset on their time at the top of the East.
Kris Dunn, Chicago Bulls
On a struggling Chicago Bulls team, Kris Dunn is an interesting free agent in this year's class.
While his offence continues to be a work in progress, Dunn's defence at the guard position was noteworthy and the numbers don't lie.
With Dunn on the floor, the Bulls registered a DEF rating of 103.6.
With Dunn off the floor, the Bulls registered a DEF rating of 110.4.
Tony Snell, Detroit Pistons
Coming off a sizable contract originally signed with the Milwaukee Bucks, Tony Snell is a versatile defender with excellent length who can guard the 2-4 positions at 6-foot-6.
Definitley one for the under the radar catagory, but don't be shocked if you see the 28-year-old show up in the rotation of a contending team in 2021.

Alexander Pissios brings Hollywood to the Midwest. PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBIN SUBAR
Since the Illinois Film Tax Credit program was initiated, the Illinois film industry has experienced a boom in production, contributing over $1 billion in direct production spending and thousands of job hires to the Illinois economy. The goal of the Tax Credit Act is to grow, sustain and provide economic and job opportunities for local vendors, crew, and filmmakers, and part of the reason the program has been so successful is because of Alexander Pissios.
Pissios is the CEO and co-founder of Cinespace Film Studios in Chicago, the largest independent movie studio outside of Hollywood, specializing in the development, management, and operation of studio space and support facilities for the film, television, and digital media production industry. The 70-acre film campus, located on the site formerly occupied by the Ryerson Steel plant in Chicago's Lawndale neighborhood, offers 31 soundstages, production offices and more than a dozen on-lot businesses, including lighting, camera, animation, casting, and post-production companies.
Perhaps that's why Cinespace has been able to work with producer Dick Wolf's Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago PD along with FOX's Empire, Showtime's Shameless, and productions from Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu. It's also been home to several feature films, like Divergent and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
It also explains how Cinespace has helped create 15,000 film-related jobs since it opened and how it has contributed billions of dollars in revenue to the local economy.
"Chicago has the best labor in the country, and it's the most beautiful city in the world," explains Pissios of how he's gained the confidence of producers to move their projects to the city. "We also have four seasons for variety, great food and hotels and, of course, the best soundstages in the world." But, Pissios remembers Wolf with a better explanation when he said the best part of his hit television shows is Chicago, as Chicago is really the main character.
Funnily enough, though, Pissios' late uncle Nick Mirkopoulos founded Cinespace in Toronto first, in 2007. Then, at a cousin's wedding, Pissios shared a few life updates with Mirkopoulos—mainly that, Pissios and his wife Patricia, along with their four children, were facing bankruptcy and eviction from their family home because of the real estate collapse. Mirkopoulos would eventually help Pissios get back on his feet, and the two would later go on to launch a Cinespace outpost in the Windy City.
"My uncle taught me to work hard every day, to always try to make a difference in someone's life, and to take the high road," says Pissios of Mirkopoulos, who passed away in 2013. Those are lessons that Pissios learned growing up on the North Shore, too. The son of Greek immigrants, Pissios' father was a special education teacher for Chicago Public Schools, and his mother always gave back to the community.
Now, Pissios does the same. In 2015, Cinespace launched Stage 18, a filmmaker incubator to provide workspace, programming, and event space to help develop the local filmmaking community with the goal of keeping talent local. Cinespace also established the CineCares Foundation, providing Chicago residents with education and job training in TV and film, and it offers DePaul University space for classes that teach filmmaking to the next generation of artists. This May, Pissios was honored by the Anixter Center for his charitable contributions to the community during the seventh annual Benefit for Ability held at one of the studio's soundstages.
But it hasn't always been smooth sailing. At points throughout his career, Pissios has faced both financial and legal troubles, with allegations of bankruptcy fraud a few years ago. "Life is full of ups and downs," says Pissios. "I know it's a cliché, but what's important is how you get up after you're punched in the gut. I am proud of the ups and downs in my life because they've molded me into the man I am today."
That man is a family man, who loves to spend weekends watching his kids play sports, try different restaurants in the city, visit museums, and walk the lakefront. His family also, Pissios smiles, loves the Marvel film franchise. Pissios, however, won't disclose if he has a favorite Cinespace project. "That's like picking a favorite child," he says. "I love them all. Seeing them all grow each and every year is great."
In terms of what's next for Cinespace, Pissios is focused on creating a backlot, a closed campus like the studios in Los Angeles, that will have street scenes featuring New York, London, and Main Street U.S.A. He's also excited about shows Amazon and Netflix are bringing to Cinespace in 2019.
"My goal is to keep on growing the film industry in Illinois and to create more jobs, revenue and goodwill for the people of this great state," Pissios concludes.

Radek Bonk, född 9 januari 1976 i Krnov, Tjeckoslovakien, är en tjeckisk professionell ishockeyspelare. Bonk har spelat i NHL-lagen Ottawa Senators, Montreal Canadiens och Nashville Predators. Han spelar nu i Oceláři Třinec i tjeckiska Extraliga.

Bonk flyttade till Nordamerika 1993, där han spelade i IHL-laget Las Vegas Thunder under två säsonger. 1994-95 debuterade han i Ottawa Senators i NHL. Med sitt spelsinne, och sin blandning av både defensiv och offensiv skicklighet, utvecklades han till lagets främste centerforward. Trots sin storlek, 191 cm och 100 kg, spelar han inte särskilt fysiskt och saknar viss aggressivitet, något som han kritiserats för genom åren.

Efter tio säsonger i Senators byttes han 2004 bort till Los Angeles Kings för ett val i tredje rundan i draften. Kings bytte i sin tur bort Bonk och Cristobal Huet till Montreal Canadiens, i utbyte mot Mathieu Garon och ett draftval i tredje rundan.

Bonk spelade två säsonger i Canadiens, innan han under sommaren 2007 blev free agent. Den 35-årige Bonk skrev då på för Nashville Predators.

Bonks poängmässigt bästa säsong i NHL är 2001–02, då han gjorde 70 poäng på 82 matcher. Hans 25 mål samma säsong är också det personligt rekord.

South Jersey woman posts autopsy photos on social media
By Brian Taff
A social media account based in South Jersey is drawing both devoted fans and disgusted critics from across the country. The posts are graphic pictures taken during autopsies and surgeries.
One glimpse around Nicole Angemi's South Jersey home and her passion for her work becomes apparent.
"I'm a pathologist's assistant," Angemi said. "I also work in the morgue doing autopsies and determining cause of death."
It's a job she quite literally takes home. She has organs and tissue in jars, all of it preserved for posterity in places where most people might just display family pictures.
But Angemi isn't just decorating her house with body parts, she's posting them on social media.
Her Instagram account is a wildly popular feed of gruesome pictures that either she's taken or have been sent to her to post.
She calls it educational. Dr. Amber Thacker calls it something else.
"They're just really shocking," Thacker said.
Thacker found the posts not just inappropriate, but also potentially illegal, a violation of trust between provider and patient.
"There is a fine line between education and exploitation of our patients," said Thacker.
Instagram has deleted Angemis' account four separate times, but each time she's started again, confident that by obscuring patient identities she's not breaking any law.
One lawyer we talked to seems to agree.
"Social media has pushed the boundaries because there are no boundaries," said Stuart O' Neal. "Right now there are no boundaries to push."
O'Neal specializes in First Amendment law and said no matter what you think of Angemi's posts, we can all learn something from them, if not what she intended.
"That freedom of speech, that freedom of expression, that First Amendment right also comes with individual responsibility," he said.
First and foremost, your privacy is not always guaranteed. As long as it's not malicious, someone can take your picture in public and post it. You're only entitled to privacy when there's a reasonable expectation of it, like in your home or office.
Most of Angemi's subjects are dead and can't consent, she says. So she protects their privacy for them.
"In the photos you don't know what year it was taken, you don't know the sex, you don't know what country it was taken in," she said. "You don't know anything about the patient."
In the murky world of what's acceptable online, that might be all that's needed.
For now, the only things that may outnumber Angemi's critics are her fans.
"I remember when I hit 10,000 followers, I thought that was huge," said Angemi. "I kind of jokingly said to my husband, 'I'll hit 100,000 followers one day. Watch!' That's my goal."
That goal is now a distant memory Angemi's account now boasts 1.4 million followers. Again, she insists this is about teaching people about death and the physical effects of our decisions in life. If nothing else, she's given birth to a lively debate, not likely to end with this story.

Immigration | Rhode Island Politics
RE: DMV Fake Ids
More arrests in the DMV fake ID case, and a little more info on Dolores Rodriguez-LaFlamme:
Dolores Rodriguez-LaFlamme, 40, of Providence, one of the two clerks arrested in the fraud scheme, had already been ordered deported. Her application for adjusted immigration status had been denied after a federal investigation discovered two fraudulent marriages, according to a state police affidavit. LaFlamme is appealing the deportation order.
Some who know LaFlamme from her political action in the Latino community said they knew about her immigration issues. LaFlamme had volunteered on a number of election campaigns for Democrats, including those for U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline, and City Councilman Nicholas Narducci Jr.
Yesterday, Narducci said he learned LaFlamme wasn't a citizen last year when she tried to run for a seat on the Ward 4 Democratic committee. She had posted her campaign on a page on Narducci's Web site — touting her employment at the Registry and that she'd come to this country from the Dominican Republic in 1996, and borrowing Narducci's election slogan "A New Beginning." But Narducci said another candidate eventually ran for the seat when it was discovered that LaFlamme was ineligible to vote. She was put on the Ward's community action committee instead.
This is obviously a woman who habitually attempted to circumvent the system. It doesn't sound like she was here illegally (pending deportation aside), so she could legally obtain a valid SSN. But she still can't vote, much less run for office! I wonder if she was aware that she was ineligible? Regardless, what's more troubling to me is that a lot of people simply looked the other way.
Quick, What's the Difference Between a Magistrate and a Judge…
Oslo Calling
"what's more troubling to me is that a lot of people simply looked the other way."
Yes, indeed.
This is going a little far, even by the standards of bad Rhode Island politics, to secure a campaign volunteer or a block of votes of quizzical number.
Speaking of "looking the other way". RI's lefty blog-of-record is evidently skipping this story and that of the Martineau plea. I feel sorry for that cast of characters over there…gullible, easily-led, hypocrites.
I'm confused about what you mean by "a lot of people simply looked the other way". I'm not arguing, but I can't see, from your post at least, who did so.
It sounds as if, when it was learned LaFlamme was not a citizen, she was taken out of the race for Ward 4. In that case, everyone (except LaFlamme herself) seems to have behavied correctly.
I don't believe there's any law that forbid a non-citizen from working on any political campaign. (For instance, I'm going to guess that a lot of non-citizen immigrants from Cuba worked on Republican campaigns in Florida).
There is a dispute about her status. If it is resolved in her favor, she gets to stay. If not, she goes. In the meantime, while the dispute is settled, I assume she has not lost any rights she had.
So who looked the other way, and on what issue?
NOTE: (for those who have trouble with thinking about principles rather than politics). The question is not whether LaFlamme is crook/illegal/fraud or not, but who, if anyone, else is responsible if she is. Given that her boss is a Republican, I hope everyone can appreciate that issue should be thought through carefully.
My hypothesis, George, which is yet unconfirmed, is that that each blog is only allotted a certain amount of electron per day.
RIFuture doesn't mention this story. AnchorRising doesn't mention that Al Gore won the Nobel Prize. It's not bias, just scarcity.
Good thing for you and me that we have the energy to read both blogs.
Justin Katz
Not sure your equivalence is equitable, Thomas. If we'd the interest, we'd have no problem mentioning Al Gore. More likely than not, we would mock him, and the Nobel Prize committee, but our not mentioning it could not possibly be construed as either a cover-up or an intellectual paralysis. That call isn't as easy to make, I don't believe, with respect to a local immigration and fraud story and the local left-wing blog.
Somebody should head to city hall and find out if any of those names were registered to vote and/or voted.
Justin, Well, Gore was just one example. I could have picked other stories from this week, favorable to views this blog opposes, that didn't appear here. You're not really saying, are you, that AR is likely to post such a story (unless you can find a way to make it unfavorable)? This is not a criticism. AR's bloggers and commenters are almost universally right-leaning, if not totally tipped over, and everyone knows it. My point in my comment to George that it's no more reasonable to expect RIFuture's left-leaning bloggers to post stories about Dem. flaws than to expect that you trumpet their triumphs. (as an aside, it's still not clear to my to what extent the LaFlamme episode has much, if anything, to do with party politics. See the comment below). I've been looking for an excuse to mention that I had occasion recently to look trough the archives and found a post by Andrew from a year ago. It was about Cass Sunstein's work on "ideological amplification" among US Circuit court judges. I admire Sunstein's work, so I was pleased to see the post. Sunstein's earlier book on this, Republic.Com (new edition just out) talked about how this happens in blogs: Put a bunch of like-minded people together, without any voice that questions, and the group tends to move to extremes and excesses. Without an "ideological dampner" present, people say more and more outlandish things without check or demand actual evidence for claims (that their opponants are all criminals, for instance). As people separate themselves into left or right blog readers and amplification happens, political polarization (which I regard as harmful) becomes more extreme. So, I don't mind if AR continues to be resolutely biased in favor of the right. I learn a lot here. I hope you… Read more »
Mike says, "Somebody should head to city hall and find out if any of those names were registered to vote and/or voted."
I hope someone will!
My guess is that the people who got the phony licenses are doing their very best to stay off the radar of gov't officials as much as possible, so registering to vote doesn't make much sense for them. Thus, I find the notion that this is some scheme to register large numbers of Democratic Party supporters to be pretty outlandish.
But I am prepared to accept evidence that I'm wrong, so start digging, Mike!
Also, and again, we might also look into the fact that a Republican-controlled administration is responsible for the DMV and its operations and employees.
Oops! It was Marc who posted on Sunstein, not Andrew.

re: LaFlamme – this is not a Dems vs Reps issue. It is a corrupt vs honest issue. But it doesn't look good for the Dems that she is so involved with them – and that some Dems are actively defending her. Innocent until proven guilty, but that's about as far as the support should go. Anybody want to bet that the State Police got this wrong?
re: Gore – He certainly deserves the Nobel more than previous winner Arafat. But as an engineering prof friend said to me yesterday – "It's a bad day for science".
ChuckR says, "re: LaFlamme – this is not a Dems vs Reps issue. It is a corrupt vs honest issue".
I'm glad to see that not everyone here has completely succumbed to the spirit of party.
Since I already found a way to work in the Sunstein bit, I confess I've also been waiting to find a place to quote James Madison, the father of our Constitution, who, I think, has a lot to say about what is going on here. I think every modern American should reflect on Madison's ideas:
"A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to different leaders ambitiously contending for pre-eminence and power; or to persons of other descriptions whose fortunes have been interesting to the human passions, have, in turn, divided mankind into parties, inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other than to co-operate for their common good. So strong is this propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities, that where no substantial occasion presents itself, the most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle their unfriendly passions and excite their most violent conflicts. "
-James Madison, Federalist #10
Thomas,
Spare us this We Are The World nonsense. This illegal was plugged in quite nicely with the Democratic party here in Rhode Island. Won't suprise me a bit to learn she was a mover and shaker with these illegal alien state house rallies. Your willingness to diminish and/or outright ignore her Democratic party connection once again proves my point about the twisted mindset of Democrats. Same for your silly excuse making for the morally vacant RIDemise blog. There is no behavior worthy of condemnation from Democrats if carried out by a Democrat or one of their minions.
Quite sad!
Tim- 1. "This illegal…". Whatever else you want to call LaFlamme, Marc already noted in the post that "It doesn't sound like she was here illegally". She may be deported and, if she committed the acts she's accused of, I hope she is- but that hasn't happened yet. I know you think saying this makes me her supporter, but it doesn't. I just believe in getting the facts straight. I hope you join me in that. 2. The main post and several comments tried to make out that the drivers licence fraud scheme was a voter fraud scheme by and for Democrats. I said (and say) that this seems unlikely, and there's no evidence for it (yet). Do you think that because I'm unwilling to bindly jump on that bandwagon I must be a craven apologist for Democratic criminality? 3. Whatever you think of amnesty (I don't favor it), she has a First Amendment right to participate in any rally she chooses. Unless you think she doesn't? 4. I make no "excuses" for RIFuture. I just find it hypocritical to hold them to a different standard than other political blogs, as George did. 5. "There is no behavior worthy of condemnation from Democrats if carried out by a Democrat or one of their minions." I actually agree with you to some exent, insofar that I believe the Democrats should do more to stand up against the persistent and widespread corruption among the party leaders and their craven catering to special interests. But your statement is absurdly broad and divisive and I can't accept it. Again, we do not yet have any evidence that the Dem Party was in any way behind, or benefited from, the license fraud scheme. If you have such evidence, let's see it. If it's real evidence,… Read more »
I have to add a comment about your "We are the World' crack. I'm still not sure whether I find that funny, disturbing or just plain odd.
Odd, because you're responding (at least in part) to the quote from James Madison. Thinking about Madison as some sort of sunny, "let's all hug" kind of guy is pretty hard to do. Madison was no idealist. He was a realist who understood human ambition, both its benefits and its destructive potential. That's why he worked to design institutions to control it.
I don't want to ignore real differences, it's the "frivolous and fanciful" ones that bother me, because they distract attention from the real ones.
There are some people who (for political or pychological reasons) thrive on division and who feed it at all opportunities. If finding them useless and/or harmful makes me a "we are the world" kinda guy, then I'm proud to be one.
oh man…Behold, Thomas has been sent to enlighten us. I suggest that everyone just sit back and bask in the aura of his "truthiness".
Why, that's very kind of you, jd.
I would still like to know, who is it that you are asserting "looked the other way"? What evidence is there that people withing the Democratic party knew of wrongdoing and did so?

Is Tom Bateman in Beecham House on ITV?
Tom Bateman takes on the lead role of John Beecham - a former soldier who buys a house in the hope of starting a new life with his family.
Beecham House follows the story of John Beecham, and what unfolds within his family and staff as they move into a new home in Delhi, India, on the cusp of the 19th century.
However, the title character is clearly haunted by his past, and despite moving somewhere new, it won't take long for disharmony and conspiracy to win out in the stunning surroundings.
John's life remains shrouded in mystery as he arrives with an "olive-skinned" child named August and two Indian nursemaids.
This adds to speculation and gossip among the servants that he may be the boy's father, and that the protective nursemaid happens to be his mother.
To add further complication, it doesn't appear that John's past will take long to catch up with him, as his mother and brother arrive to live with them.
The period show is created by Gurinder Chadha, the creative mind behind Bend it Like Beckham and Viceroy's House.

New Jersey hospital gets new name after acquisition
Marissa Plescia (Twitter) - Wednesday, January 12th, 2022 Print	| Email
East Orange (N.J.) General Hospital received the new name of CareWell Health Medical Center on Jan. 12 after it was acquired by EOH Acquisition Group on Jan. 1.
EOH Acquisition Group is led by Paige Dworak, CEO of the hospital; Ben Klein, the owner of more than three dozen behavioral health facilities; and attorney Troy Schell, according to a CareWell news release shared with Becker's.
The acquisition, announced in October, makes Ms. Dworak the first female owner-CEO of a hospital in New Jersey.
The newly acquired hospital will focus on investing in new programs and expanding services, including in behavioral health, the news release said.
"This is a proud moment for our historic institution," Ms. Dworak said. "CareWell Health Medical Center is a true community hospital serving Essex County, a place where every patient is family. Our new name and brand represent our commitment to transforming this vital community asset, signaling a fresh start for this organization."


In the late 16th century, a London woman called Elizabeth Sawyer was hanged as a witch after a series of events set in motion by the death of her neighbour's pig.
I, as much as anyone else, find there's something quite Monty Python about someone saying that a witch killed their cow. I grew up near an agricultural community where I used to go horse riding working farms. Still, there's something I can't quite take seriously, something strangely quaint.
I'm probably not the only one. For modern people, unless you are someone who relies on smallholding to make a living, the value of a cow as an immediate thing is hard for us to grasp.
This is a time when around 70% of the population are grindingly poor: illiterate and relying on waged work which paid only 60-80% of their household bills.
They'd make that up by gleaning (i.e. scavenging) edible plants from the land, growing crops on common land, and raising tiny numbers of animals to get the eggs, milk and cheese they needed to not die for another year.
For this person, the average income is about £8-10 a year, at a time when there are twelve pennies (p) to the shilling, and twenty shillings (s) to the pound.
In the late 16th century cow was worth, according to a trial document from 1594, 40s.
For a waged worker that's pretty much four months' wages (bearing in mind that work is irregular, so we're basing our calculations on a three day working week).
Not only that, but it's four months wages based on them saving their whole income, which isn't going to happen. In reality, it could take years for someone pay that off. About the same amount of time we'd take to pay off a £6000 loan (almost $10,000).
In proportion to the modern day, we're talking about the price of a really good laptop, or a low-average used car. How would you feel if your top-of-the-line-gaming-pc blew up because you annoyed the mad women down the road?
Even worse, how would you feel if you lived in a rural area and suddenly had to replace your car?
Even less valuable animals could still be expensive. A pig could cost 8s. That's two to three weeks' wages, if you were a labourer.
Again, we're talking about the equivalent of almost a month's wages. According to the British average, that would be £600-800 for a single person. In the US we're talking about around $1500.
And bear in mind, when a witch came to trial she could be accused of much more damage: when Alice Alberte of Felstead died in prison, she was accused of doing £7 16s in damage to the local community. That's almost a year's wages for someone in 17th century.
So don't think of a witch as someone who has killed a pig, think of her as someone who scrapped a car, burned some laptops, and then ransacked a convenience store, doing $30,000 (around £18,000) damage.
Here's the amazing Dark Morte interviewing me about one of my anorak subjects: Medieval Revanents.

Q: SPFolder.MoveTo is preserving the metadata for the sub-folders while reset the metadata for the root folder I have the following console application, which moved some folders from one document library to another within the same SP 2013 site collection:-
 SPList sourceomslist = omsWeb.Lists.TryGetList("Order Management");
                        ;
   foreach (SPListItem currentItem in sourceomslist.Items)
          {

            if (currentItem["Status"].ToString() == "Closed")
                {

                             if (currentItem.ContentType.Name.ToLower().Contains("project"))
                       {
                         Console.WriteLine(currentItem["ID"]);
                         SPFolder folder = omsWeb.GetFolder(omsWeb.ServerRelativeUrl + "/Shared Documents/"+currentItem["ID"].ToString() );
                         folder.MoveTo(omsWeb.ServerRelativeUrl + "/ArchDocs/"+currentItem["ID"].ToString() );

                       }
               }

         }

now the MoveTo will preserve the metadata for the sub-folders and files, but it will reset the metadata for the roots folders that are been moved.
So can anyone advice if i can force the MoveTo method to preserve the metadata data for the root folders that are been moved?
Thanks

A: Because the root folders not exists in the target library, the system will create first, so the Modified, Created will change to the new datetime. We need modify it in the code.
if (currentItem.ContentType.Name.ToLower().Contains("project"))
{
    Console.WriteLine(currentItem["ID"]);
    SPFolder folder = omsWeb.GetFolder(omsWeb.ServerRelativeUrl + "/Shared Documents/"+currentItem["ID"].ToString());
    var modified = folder.Item["Modified"];
    var created = folder.Item["Created"];
    folder.MoveTo(omsWeb.ServerRelativeUrl + "/ArchDocs/" + currentItem["ID"].ToString());
    SPFolder tfolder = omsWeb.GetFolder(omsWeb.ServerRelativeUrl + "/ArchDocs/" + currentItem["ID"].ToString());
    tfolder.Item["Created"] = created;
    tfolder.Item["Modified"] = modified;
    tfolder.Item.UpdateOverwriteVersion();

A former dancer, Chris Hellman helped build the Ballet into one of the country's leading companies.
Chris Hellman, a British ballerina who made her mark as a tireless board chair, fundraiser and confidante to dancers for the San Francisco Ballet for more than 30 years, has died at 83.
Mrs. Hellman, wife of the late investment banker and bluegrass benefactor Warren Hellman, had been out of the public eye for many years while suffering from Alzheimer's disease. She died Saturday at her home in Presidio Heights.
She leaves behind a major legacy to the Ballet as the only person named trustees chair emeritus in the 83 years of the company. In 2010, the ballet headquarters and school on Franklin Street was renamed the Chris Hellman Center for Dance.
As board chair during the 1990s, Mrs. Hellman guided the Ballet as it increased its endowment from $3 million to $33 million. During that time, she oversaw the company's exodus from the War Memorial Opera House and its return in 1998, after a two-year seismic upgrade.
A year later, she stepped down as board chair but still served as honorary co-chair of the ballet's 75th anniversary celebration in 2008.
"San Francisco Ballet would not be the world-class organization it is today without her steadfast and unwavering support," Tomasson said.
Patricia Christina Sander was born April 18, 1933, in Croydon, a London suburb. Her father was a solicitor who had survived the D-Day landing, and her mother was a violin teacher who dabbled in dance.
At the age of 10, Mrs. Hellman started training at the Royal Academy of Dance, riding the train for an hour to London. At 18, she was hired as a member of the corps de ballet of the London Festival Ballet, since renamed the English National Ballet.
Promoted to soloist, she danced major roles in "Petrushka" and "Scheherazade," productions that toured Europe and North America.
While sailing home from an American tour aboard the Queen Elizabeth, Mrs. Hellman met Warren Hellman, who was an undergrad at UC Berkeley, on his way to walkabout in Europe.
A year later, in August 1954, Warren Hellman returned to Europe, this time with his parents, Marco and Ruth Hellman, and his sister, the future Nancy Hellman Bechtle. After watching a performance of "Swan Lake" by the London Festival Ballet, they all went backstage to meet one of the cygnets.
After graduating from UC Berkeley in 1955, Warren Hellman, great-grandson of Wells Fargo Bank owner Isaias Hellman, joined the U.S. Army as an officer. He then flew to England and married his dancer on Oct. 5, 1955, bringing her along to his enlistment date.
Postings in Texas and Germany forced Mrs. Hellman to retire from dancing, and the first of their four children was born overseas. Upon his discharge, Warren Hellman entered business school at Harvard. Always possessed of tremendous energy, Warren Hellman never slept more than six hours a night. But he had met his match in Chris Hellman.
A case in point is skiing. Warren Hellman, who had practically grown up at Sugar Bowl, introduced his wife to the sport in Vermont. She dislocated her elbow her first time out. But she wouldn't give up until she had become a champion ski racer.
After living for many years on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the Hellmans came home to San Francisco in 1982. They settled in a house along the Presidio wall, and Mrs. Hellman became involved with the San Francisco Ballet, which was founded the year she was born.
When she joined the board, the Ballet was a smaller company with a reputation as a solid, more local organization. Arriving at nearly the same time was director Tomasson, who had just retired as a principal dancer at New York City Ballet.
With the support of Mrs. Hellman, he was able to build the Ballet into one of the best in the country, if not the world.
But it wasn't just money. Because Mrs. Hellman had been a dancer, she knew exactly when exhaustion would take over during a performance run, and in the long Christmas grind of the "Nutcracker," fruit baskets and food would always arrive, courtesy of Mrs. Hellman.
In at least one contract dispute while she was board chair, Mrs. Hellman was able to step in and bridge the gap between dancers and management.
Mrs. Hellman retired from the board of trustees in 1999 and was awarded the Lew Christensen Medal, the highest honor the Ballet bestows. Four years later, she returned to join the ballet endowment foundation board. Two years after that, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
She slowed down but did not retire from the foundation board, and she kept coming to the Ballet for every opening, and several performances a month, always in Box N, front row of the balcony. If her husband wasn't at her arm, Tomasson was.
Warren Hellman died in 2011, after a short battle with leukemia, and Mrs. Hellman declined rapidly after that. She never returned to Box N, which the family still holds.
A private family memorial will be held Sunday, and a public celebration of her life is pending.
Survivors include daughters Frances Hellman of Berkeley, Judith Hellman of San Francisco and Gibbs of San Rafael, and son Mick Hellman of San Francisco. Donations in Mrs. Hellman's name may be made to the San Francisco Ballet or the San Francisco Free Clinic.

A Guide to the Noah Smithwick Papers, 1835-1922
Creator Smithwick, Noah
Title Noah Smithwick Papers
Extent 28 items
Language Materials are in English.
Repository Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin
Noah Smithwick (1808-1899) was born in North Carolina, trained as a blacksmith, and moved to Texas in 1827. Legal problems drove him from Stephen F. Austin's colony, but he returned to Texas by the time of the Texas Revolution and participated in the Battle of Concepción. Moving to Bastrop, he was soon forced to leave in the face of the Mexican Army during the "Runaway Scrape," eventually arriving at San Jacinto after the decisive battle. With Mexican forces defeated, Smithwick returned to Bastrop and resumed his trade as a blacksmith and gunsmith, and he married Thurza Blakey in 1839. The couple lived in Travis, Williamson, and Burnet Counties, but Smithwick's Union sympathies and secessionist death threats drove the family out of Confederate Texas in 1861. They moved west to Southern California, where he died in Santa Ana in 1899.
Correspondence, reminiscences, land deed, notice of sale, broadside, and newspaper clippings. Papers concern Smithwick's reminiscences of Texas between 1827 and 1861, and his book The Evolution of a State: or Recollections of Old Texas Days.

No, my baby will not come from a dumpster.
Should I write a post just about what adoption is? Is that boring because people already know? The answer is no…they do not know. It's interesting how much people do not know, considering how many people are actually adopted. I bet you know a few people yourself who are. My best friend as a child was adopted, as are several people I know today. Many celebrities are as well, but you wouldn't know until they show up on a "Guess Who Is Adopted" Buzzfeed list.
Much of the adoption world is shrouded in secrecy. I don't think it has to be that way. I respect the right to privacy, but I believe a better awareness needs to exist in this country as to what adoption means. This is hard because every adoption story is different; however, I have gleaned from talking to many people, even some close friends, that there is a lack of "common knowledge" when it comes to adoption. This is mainly due to the fact that adoptions of the past were all closed, not open.
About eight months before our son was born, during our wait, on an evening full of wine and Cards Against Humanity, a few friends asked us about the process. One friend, visibly confused, asked, "I don't get it–does the birth mom get to see the kid again?" I began explaining about open vs. closed adoptions and she interjected, "Like to me, adoption is a baby in a dumpster and they call you to come get it." That was a blunt statement. That taught me that people just don't know. It's not ignorance, not stupidity. My friend is a very intelligent girl; but like many people, she just didn't know what adoption meant.
Nia Vardalos (the lady from My Big Fat Greek Wedding), adopted a child after thirteen tries with IVF. Her book, Instant Mom, is a great read for those considering adopting an older child. She discusses one contributing factor to lack of adoption awareness–the media. The media doesn't like to report about anything other than extremes. You will hear crazy stories on the news about people kidnapping children, or fighting over custody and driving to another state, or the desperate wannabe mom who stabbed a lady and tried to take her unborn baby. These are media field days. But know this: those are rare occurrences. They just make it seem as if adoption is lawlessness and chaos.
On the other hand, the media has also perpetuated the myth of the "saint-like" adoptive parent who is "rescuing" a child, as if they are some shelter dog and Sarah McLachlan is crooning in the background. It is bizarre to experience this. I called about our insurance one day and the lady asked why we were making adjustments with our account. I explained we had to because we were adopting a child. "Wow! Good for you! What a great thing you are doing, bravo! That is so wonderful," she gushed. I went stiff, not knowing how to respond, and murmured "Um, thanks." We really don't feel like rescuers. I mean, we want a child too. We want a family… so there's a "self-serving" reason beyond "rescuing." I would never say it's "selfish" though. We are not selfish people for wanting a family.
No price is ever put on a human being's life.
Researching adoption online is overwhelming. It's an extraordinary task to sift through the numerous sites and choose your path. I can promise you though, your time researching is well spent. Do read the fine print and don't rely on hearsay. Each site will convince you that their way is the way to go. Trust your instincts. Know that whatever you choose, it is going to be only a framework. Within that framework are complicated creatures: people. No two families will experience the same adoption, even if they use the same type of adoption.
Think adoption "doesn't happen" anymore? The National Council for Adoption estimates that 20,000 or more U.S. born infants are placed for adoption each year–slightly more than the 19,000 international adoptions. Yes, adoption is still happening, and yes, the landscape has changed–an adoption today is not a 1950's adoption. One growing trend is the decision of having an "open" relationship between birth mothers, children, and adoptive parents. We chose a local adoption agency that facilitates open adoption arrangements.
For those involved with adoption, explaining the process can seem like a burden. Natural parents with natural families do not have to deal with all these questions. They don't have to defend it or explain who the birth mother is or be judged for choosing a certain race or gender of child. It is up to those like us, who are involved, to dispel the myths and inform more people about the process. Most importantly, the children need this awareness. They need to understand (A) Adoption is forever. (B) They are safe (C) They are loved (by adoptive as well as birth mothers and fathers who placed them, not "gave them up").

Human Development, Political Stability and Economic Growth: The way forward

Economic growth has been known to foster human development for long term economic stability. The evidence of bi-causality in the human development and economic growth nexus is however limited. This paper builds on the reverse causality between human development and economic growth in context of Pakistan, with the moderating impact of political stability. The study applies OLS and VECM on the data collected from World Bank Database from year 2006 to 2018. Our findings exhibit empirical evidence related to endogenous growth models and a significant causal relationship between human development and economic growth, moderated by political stability. The relationship is further explained by trajectories of happiness, health and income redistribution. Our findings suggest efficient reallocation of resources towards human development to address post pandemic growth concerns.

The person who purchased the last Lordstown built Chevy Cruze is going to use it to raise money for a good cause.
Businessman Ed Muransky announced at a press conference Monday that his family bought the last car to roll off the line at the General Motors Lordstown Plant last month. Muransky plans to auction off the car to benefit the children and families served by the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley.
"The United Way and employees at the GM Lordstown plant have a strong history. The employees have been dedicated donors and volunteers to the United Way cause for more than 50 years, and we wanted to honor that relationship by purchasing the Last Chevy Cruze made by the hands of these men and women who so generously supported our community," said Ed Muransky.
To bid on the last Chevy Cruze, you will go to bidpal.net/lastcruze. From there you will be asked to register. Once that occurs, you will receive a text message to your phone allowing you quick access to the website. You will need to enter your credit card information, but the final payment can be arranged with the United Way. Winner of the car must be a licensed, insured driver and will be responsible for all applicable taxes, title, plate and document fees associated with the vehicle. You must register with a credit card to bid; however final payment will be accepted by check or credit card from the winner.
The bidding will close on Friday, May 10th at 9p.m. The winner will be announced at United Way's Centennial Champions Gala held that evening at The Lake Club in Poland.
The white 2019 model was the subject of countless pictures taken by UAW workers when the car moved along the assembly process.


A few weeks ago my husband and I had a weekend away at Suncadia just on the other side of the mountains. The resort is only an hour and a half from Seattle and is set in a beautiful, scenic place. We enjoyed our time there, but wished there was a bit more snow as we had hoped to cross-country ski.
It was pretty cold so it was a perfect opportunity to wear a sweater. I basically live in sweaters during the fall and winter so I thought I would share one of my go-to outfits. This neutral combo is really easy to replicate and affordable too!

Three-time champions Australia, England hope to rewrite history in FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023
England, who are placed in Pool D along with India, Spain and Wales, will begin their final preparations in Bhubaneswar, before moving to Rourkela, where they open their campaign against Wales on January 13. After that, England will take on the Indian Men's Hockey Team on January 15, also in Rourkela, before moving back to Bhubaneswar, where they end their group-stage on January 19 against Spain.
"I think we are a contender for the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela trophy. There is a lot of belief in our camp as everyone is confident about their abilities and we have also trained well in the last few months. We went on many tours and played some top teams like the Netherlands and Argentina which has made us ready for the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela," said England's Captain David Ames.
England have Paul Revington as their Head Coach, and will be hoping to improve on their record at the FIH Odisha World Cup 2023.
"The team is in the right frame of mind ahead of the big tournament as everyone is excited to play in India. It's always a fantastic opportunity to take part in the World Cup. The team has been in good form over the last one year and we will look to repeat the same good performance in the tournament," said Revington.
On the other hand, Australia, who are also known as the Kookaburras, are in Pool A along with Argentina, France and South Africa, and will kick start their tournament in Bhubaneswar on January 13 against France, before playing Argentina on January 16, at the Kalinga Stadium.
Australia's captain Eddie Ockenden is confident of a good showing in the tournament. He stated, "Our players are really excited to be here and we have big ambitions in the tournament. We want to do well and have confidence that we will be able to win the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela title. Our team has a lot of experience and it will be really crucial for us."
Australia, who won back-to-back World Cup titles in 2010 (New Delhi) and 2014 (The Hague, Netherlands), had bagged their first title in 1986 (England) when they defeated England. They will complete their group stage fixtures on January 20th when they play South Africa in Rourkela.
Looking ahead to the tournament, Head Coach Colin Batch commented, "We have a really good team and our players are prolific goal scorers which is really important as it helps you to win matches. At the same time, our defence is also really good and we often manage to restrict the opposition's scoring. So, our fundamentals are strong and that makes us a really good side."
He added, "Our players are also excited to face India as they are a totally different side at home. They play good hockey at home and get extra motivation from the crowd. It will be tough to beat India if we play against them in the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela."

We adjusted our trip last minute from new year's in Cairo to Budapest, and as luck would have it, there were rooms available at the New York Palace for 35k a night. The hotel looks gorgeous online and is home to one of the most famous coffee houses in all of Budapest so even though we were disappointed to postpone our trip to Egypt, we were very excited to experience Budapest.
We arrived from Rome, hopped in a taxi, and arrived at the hotel around 11:30 or 12. Oddly the bellhops did not greet us upon arrival, and we lugged our own bags up to check-in. Not a big deal, but after experiencing the level of service at the St Regis Rome it was noticed. In fact, the porters were far more attentive for the rest of our stay so I attribute to a busy NYE check-in.
We queued in the Marriott Rewards Elite line and after the guests in front of us were serviced, continued to wait without greeting as the desk attendant shuffled paperwork. And waited. Finally, with quite an irritated tone he asked us how he could help. Without seeing our room, status, information, anything he told us our room wasn't available and we would have to wait or store our bags. We knew we were early for check-in, but it was the overall demeanor and tone used that was inappropriate at best. After check-in and before we left to lug our bags to the porter stand, we inquired about New Year's. Not his job as he pointed to the line at the concierge…who was a treat as well.
My girlfriend queued up as I excused myself to the bathroom. When I got back she had a look on her face that told it all. He was a jerk. When I began to ask him some questions he softened a bit, but was clearly irritated that we didn't have plans arranged already. For someone whose job it is to make guests wants and needs their priority, he not only failed to deliver on that mission, but even managed to make us feel embarrassed and distressed as to our options.
Ultimately we picked a new year's party that was at Spoon, a docked boat on the Danube. The hotel's party at the New York Café was sold out. Fair enough. What wasn't fair was the attitude given to us when we asked… it could be summed up as this: How stupid are you to not have hotel plans, stay at our hotel, as Elite members, and then inquire about attending the party hosted by the hotel you're staying at.
We were put in the newer section of the hotel. While that sounds like it should be better, it isn't. It's the more communist feeling building vs the beauty exemplified by the older section of the hotel. Not a big deal, but it was just more reason to potentially reconsider staying at a different property on a return visit.
Every time we left and returned to the hotel there was a line outside waiting to enjoy the Café. It's clearly a huge draw for tourists and when you pull up a map, you'll see the Café listed before the hotel.
The Spa is located near the entrance of the hotel in the basement. We didn't utilize any of the facilities, and the pool was occupied when I popped my head in, but it's a small single lane lap pool with mood lighting.
I'm not in love with the location and would much rather stay nearer the Danube or Parliament. It's roughly a 15-20 minute walk to most tourist attractions, 45 minutes to the famous thermal baths, and 15 minutes to the train station.
The hotel exterior and lobby is gorgeous, and if you were to stay in the main building, I'm sure the rooms and environment feel quite different. Our stay was negatively impacted by the human element of the hotel. Maybe we could write it off to the stress of NYE, but the porters were lovely when trying to flag down taxis during a very overwhelming influx of guests needing help.
Personally, I'd choose to stay at the Intercontinental on a return visit. At just 30k a night, you'll be under the 40k that is a perk of the IHG Premier card from Chase and the location/view couldn't be better.
In fact, I'd say its location is only bested by the Four Seasons. The Intercontinental seems like a damn steal when you factor in IHG Premier cardholders get a 4th night free, and you can often buy points for as little as half a cent.
If you're looking to keep in the Marriott family, the Ritz is in a far better location and just 15k more points a night.
Personally, without an incredible rate being offered, I'd stay elsewhere on a return visit.
We are looking at Budapest for a stay at the end of this year. Just wondering why the Marriott wasn't in your mix of choices? Any particular reason?
Gotcha, thanks. And keep up the great work on the blog – we appreciate it!
Thank you for the review. I took your advice, and booked a room at the Intercontinental.

So when I started making this card, I had the flower I used from BE BLESSED in mind to be a Christmas flower for my card and use the colors from the inspiration. I must have gotten distracted...the phone rang, my mom needed me, a child of mine had a problem, glitter!...SOMETHING! I ended up stamping the flower in a red and went to town making a fall birthday card!?!? You know how y'all can get on a roll creating! Anyway, I had a ball making this card as it has a lot of mixey-matchy patterns that I love and at least that "kind of" goes with the abundance of patterns on these trees, right? I used the PETAL POINTS die to cut out that flower (thank goodness for that die!), and stamped the sentiment and leaves onto a cut from the CLASSY LABEL DIE. Ok, so just imagine this same card saying Merry Christmas in all those cool blues and greens! It's totally doable! So there's your jumping off place to create YOUR challenge card--COPY this one and use the tree theme and actual colors! LOL!
Beautiful card ! I love the big flower and the dps you combined with it are Wonderful!
Very pretty fall birthday card. Love the colors.
VERY PRETTY. WOULD BE JUST AS STRIKING IN THE INSPIRATION COLORS, TOO.
the colors are so bright and cheerful.
I LOVE AUTUMN...and love your card. Wonderful layers and pattern mix, and all your details are just great!
I like how the inked edges make each later pop.
Love how this turned into a fall card. I like the papers.
I love all the fun patterned papers and your layers. Very pretty card.
You create the most amazing layers! Love the fun papers peeking out from behind the cheerful red bloom!
Yup, I was a little confused when I saw your card LOL, but its so gorgeous with its many lovely layers and beautiful autumn colors, it didn't matter. Love your gorgeous card!
Pretty card! Love the colors and the bling!
Oh my! It's simply amazing!!! Love your card!!!
Enjoyed hearing your creative process, Susan! I think we've all had that happen. I love the mix of patterns and final creation.
I can relate! Your card is just gorgeous and I love the colors too!
Even if you were distracted; you still came up with one gorgeous creation! I can imagine blues and greens and trees!
oh my! such lovely warm colors :) i love love love this card. its so festive and inviting!
Love, love, LOVE your card!!!
You may have been distracted but your card is awesome and I do love the palette you've chosen.
The moment I saw your card I was confused if I hopped onto the right link. Yes distractions are bound to take place with kids, putting you off track. Your card is beautiful anyway.
Hi Susan: I like your card, and enjoyed visiting. Thanks for the inspiration. I hope to play along.
love, love, love these papers and colors, wonderful layers too!
