York, England is a wonderful choice for a romantic weekend getaway. See the sights, shop, get a glimpse of history and natural beauty, and relax with your significant other. From start to finish, this detailed
 itinerary for a couple's weekend in York offers everything you'll need to know.

Friday

Hotel: Arrive mid-afternoon and check into your hotel. Consider The Minster, ideally situated in the city center and boasting beautifully decorated rooms, full English breakfast, and a touch of historic charm. They routinely offer specials for romantic weekend breaks.

Explore: Once you're settled, purchase your ticket for an open-top bus tour with City Sightseeing. Bus tours will run every 20-30 minutes (every 12 minutes tomorrow and Sunday) and will run for about an hour. The tour will cost GBP 10 and help you get your bearings for the rest of the weekend. In addition, your ticket will be valid until mid-afternoon on Sunday, so you'll be able to hop on and off as you like over the course of the weekend.

Dine: Drake's Fish & Chips offers some of the best and most well-known fish and chips in the region. It's an absolute must for a Friday night meal. Grab it to go and head outside if the weather cooperates. If not, eat in at your hotel and you'll be ready to start your busy weekend fresh tomorrow morning.

Saturday

Awake to a full-English breakfast at your hotel on Saturday morning. Expect to spend most of the day strolling between sights, though you can utilize the bus from yesterday (don't forget your ticket) if you choose.

10 AM - Noon: Spend Saturday morning at York Minster, the must-see sight in York. Be sure to walk around outside to get a feel for the size and time that went into the creation of the Minster. Pay for entry into York Minster, with a tour optional.

Lunch: After you depart York Minster, head down towards The Shambles, York's most popular shopping destination. Stop along the way at any one of a number of conveniently located pubs for a traditional pub lunch—consider The Old White Swan or Cross Keys.

1:30 - 4:00 PM: Spend your afternoon at theYork Castle Museum and climb up Clifford's Tower. Both have reasonable admission prices. Learn about the history of York in the museum and then
 see it first hand from Clifford's Tower, where you'll also get some of the best views of the city.

Evening Activity: Visit the entrance to the city center and you'll get wonderful pictures of the remaining border walls. If time allows, consider walking along the walls.

Dinner & Drinks: There's no shortage of available options for dinner, drinks, and music on a Saturday night in York. Make reservations for a late evening meal at Akbar's for the best Indian food in the region. Akbar's is located in the city center and within walking distance of your hotel. Stop after dinner at any one of the local pubs for a pint, many which will also offer music on a Saturday night.

Sunday

Sleep in on Sunday morning and enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel before you check out and explore the city one last time.

10 AM - Noon: Choose from either the Jorvik Viking Museum or the York Dungeon this morning. Both are within walking distance of the hotel, though you could still utilize your hop-on, hop-off bus pass this morning. Entry fees are required at both museums.

Lunch/Tea: Lunch or tea at Betty's is a must in Yorkshire, both for the meal and drink themselves as well as for the experience.

Optional Afternoon: If time allows before your departure, head to the National Railway Museum, conveniently located near the train station as you head out of the city. Children and adults alike will enjoy and appreciate this free museum and a glimpse of the railway history of the UK.

By
A Yemeni housewife is facing prosecution in a Dubai court for allegedly attempting to murder her 18-year-old Ethiopian maid by throwing her over a balcony. Ironically, the young maid who survived the murderous attack was at first charged with jumping from a third floor balcony in an attempted suicide bid. Fortunately, the court decided that the housemaid, referred to as Z.A., did not attempt to commit suicide, the Gulf News reports. The maid claims that her 27-year-old employer battered her face with a hammer, beat her with a rope and threw her over the balcony.  It has now been corroborated by evidence. Allegations of ongoing torture and withholding of salary are provided as further examples of the employer's abuse.  According to  Newsdire , the maid entered the courtroom in a wheelchair after sustaining injuries from the fall.

Are The US And Israel Bluffing Iran With An Attack To Force Changes In Policy?

By
To imply that the Armed Forces of the United States of America has the manpower, ammunition, funding, and especially the stamina, in order to try and compete militarily with a well rested, well funded and heavily armed Iranian Armed Forces would be a major mistake. In order to extend their current combat missions into Iran, alongside Israel, the entire combined NATO forces, or even the entire Allied Command is nothing short of ludicrous. The Western Powers and their allies have been running wildly in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2002, when they went to the Middle East to shock the awe out of them, topple Saddam Hussein and hunt the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization. The Iranian Armed Forces, main combat units, contain an estimated 550,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen. The Revolutionary Guard, the elite branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, their version of our "Green Berets", have command of an estimated 3 million combat ready reservists out of a claimed enrol...

Blockbuster Canada To Close Remaining 253 Stores, YouTube Movies Comes To Canada

By
Toronto - Blockbuster Canada will be closing down its remaining stores by the end of the year. Grant Thornton Ltd., the accounting firm that was selected in May to oversee the movie rental chain’s receivership proceedings, stated in a news release Wednesday that it is seeking an order on Sept. 6 from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice at a hearing to wind down the video store’s operations and shut down the remaining 253 stores. The firm explained that they could not locate a suitable acquirer to make the necessary investments into Blockbuster Canada. If the court approves the request, the closure process would begin in only a few days.   Therefore, the company would not be obligated to accept loyalty-rewards programs and/or gift cards. “ We appreciate the ongoing support and wish to thank Blockbuster Canada Co.'s employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders during this difficult period,” said Granton staffer, Michael Creb...
