More than a year of ESO screens! And so much more to come <3
You look so dangerous! Awesome!
Wow I wouldn't like to come across him while adventuring lol.
just got today to do then off for the weekend. Nice shot
- Skyshards are my dope, to find them, I search so hard! -
(Well, I'm not really good with rhymes in english apparently xD)
I knew it, that dungeon was a bit frustrating, because the quest guided me always back into it but you had to finish it in the middle of deshaan to a lizard if i remember right :D
yeah, it is sometime stupide when you can have a 'switch' type of quest where you have to deliver something to a npc but you have the choice btwn two objetcs. Spend like 10 minutes to figure that i had to choose and get out and that i could not get both ^^
I can lost so much time just running after the wildlife in ESO! (gonna catch the frog, yaaay!)

Last night I turned on the television to discover there was no Chaser! "WHAT IS THIS?" I exclaimed, outraged.
And then my sister informed me that it was not just cancelled this week, but also next!
HOW COULD YOU ABC? How could you, my favourie channel, deprive me of my favourite television programme for not just one week, but two?!?! And when I'd been so excited about their return to television only two weeks ago!
Now, if you've been living under a rock, you probably wouldn't know about the big controversy over a skit the Chaser performed in their second episode in this EPIC series return to my absolute best and favourite television station!
The skit was a parody of the Make A Wish foundation, in which they referred to the charity as the "Make A Realistic Wish Foundation" and they sang a little song about how it wasn't worth putting in alot of effort into making sick kid's wishes come true, because they were going to die anyways. (If you haven't seen it, I'm sure you can find it SOMEWHERE on YouTube, but it has been removed from the Chaser's website.)
Now, there's no doubt that the skit was in rather bad taste, and the Chaser has taken full responsibility, apologised and suggested everyone offended make a donation to the Make A Wish foundation. But really, isn't that what we've come to expect from this amazing troop of soldiers?
So, did the ABC have to CANCEL the show for two weeks? Honestly, the Chaser has offended a million times before, made a million apologies and their criminal records put Voldemort to shame! They're not going to STOP just because you pull them off the air for a few weeks! Hell, you could pull them off the air permanently, and they'd find a way to secretly broadcast themselves to the world!
So why make me suffer for two weeks without them? They are still going to offend, it's what they do! They WANT to offend you, and the more you're offended, the more ammunition you give them.
And by stirring up the public, they create debate, discussion and provide a public service by performing scrutiny upon all political and public sectors of society to "keep the bastards honest", because seriously, the Democrats aren't exactly doing much in that realm now days!
And sure, the Chaser may be doing it in the most offensive and vulgar way possible, but that's because they were jaded law and political science students, much like myself, and I have long dreamed of joining forces with them one day in the future, in order to do my duty for my nation by making a public nuisance of myself, annoying the SHIT out of the pollies and earning myself a sweet-deal criminal record in the process. Because there is really no doubt that what they do is as fun as it looks on the telly!
But, all I really wanted to say was this: you can whinge and complain and rant about the Chaser all you want, but they are a force that are tough to beat. A force that will one day be invinsible! (When I join them.)
Until such a time,
p.s. geez KRudd, you're no fun! We want a PM with a sense of humour! Or atleast one that's fun to hate. We were so lucky to have someone who provided as much amusement as little Johnny, why can't you be more like him? Huh, KRudd, huh? And don't you dare try to use that $900 you just deposited into my bank account as some sort of bribe to get me to lighten up on you! BE MORE FUN!
The ABC news site has coverage on the case I covered in my last post.
The story: Man charged over sexual assault of Perth prostitute is obviously going to be one we're sure to see alot of in the coming weeks – especially when it goes to trial at the end of the month.
I will keep a close eye on the ABC website, the evening news and the newspapers when I get them (Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday). If you see anything on the case that it is likely I have missed – please leave a comment with the source.
Expect more soon!
p.s. I got my History assignment back. 71%! Can you believe that? Seriously man, it was not worth 71%. I am thrilled. ^_^
p.p.s. I am now getting 67 cents to the USA dollar. Man, I told my parents that the economy was going to crash. I told them this in the lead up to the Australian Federal Election last year. They told me to shush, I wasn't an economics expert and nothing of the sort would happen! I should've converted my cash to US dollars and pounds and euros last year

marydukecooks.com Caprese Salad with Basil Oil
Caprese salad is one of the simplest salads to make. Garden or heirloom tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh basil are the basic components. This salad has additional basil flavor from basil oil.
Caprese Salad with Basil Oil
Garden or Heirloom tomatoes (I used a mixture of yellow tomatoes and striped german tomatoes- 18 slices yellow tomatoes and 12 slices striped german tomatoes)
12 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese, torn into bite size pieces
Basil oil (recipe follows)
2-3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12-15 Fresh basil leaves
Slice and place 1 layer of yellow tomatoes on the bottom of a platter. Scatter ⅓torn mozzarella on top. Drizzle ⅓ basil oil and ⅓balsamic vinegar over tomatoes using a spoon.
Slice and place a 2nd layer of striped german or red tomatoes over 1st yellow layer. Make second layer of tomatoes slightly smaller than the first so the outer ring of yellow tomatoes is still visible. Scatter ⅓mozzarella on top. Drizzle with⅓basil oil and ⅓balsamic vinegar.
Slice and place 3rd layer of yellow tomatoes on top of red ones making a smaller circle so a ring of red tomatoes is still visible. Scatter remaining mozzarella on top. Drizzle with remaining basil oil and balsamic vinegar. Season salad lightly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Decorate with basil leaves. Tip: Don't be tempted to add balsamic vinegar to the basil oil. It will change the color of the oil. Makes 18 servings.
Basil Oil
½ cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
¼ cup olive oil
Blend basil and olive oil in a small blender (like Nutribullet) or mini food processor. Refrigerate any leftovers. Bring to room temperature before using. Keeps 5 days.

April 2, 2009 - Vasomedical Inc. this week conducted two presentations on the beneficial effects of EECP external counterpulsation therapy at the 58th Annual Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in Orlando.
The external EECP counterpulsation therapy is a noninvasive, outpatient therapy used in the treatment of ischemic cardiovascular diseases, currently used to manage chronic stable angina and heart failure. The therapy increases blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscle and other organs and decreases the heart's workload and need for oxygen. Function of the endothelium, the inner lining of blood vessels throughout the body, is also improved, lessening resistance to blood flow. These actions reduce or eliminate symptoms of angina and heart failure, the company said.
The first presentation by Randy W. Braith, M.D., Richard C. Conti, M.D., and colleagues from the University of Florida in Gainesville demonstrated that EECP therapy significantly improves brachial flow-mediated dilation, reduces arterial stiffness, increases nitric oxide release, exercise duration and peak oxygen consumption while there are no significant changes in the control group with low pressure sham EECP treatment. The consistency of all parameters examined in this study involving non-invasive measurements of endothelial functions by a world-class team of scientists, researchers, and clinicians confirms that EECP therapy improves peripheral endothelial function and reduces arterial stiffness. These vascular adaptations decrease left ventricular afterload and myocardial oxygen demand, and increase anginal threshold in patients with refractory angina.
The second presentation by Steffen Gloekler, M.D., and colleagues from University Hospital in Bern, Switzerland showed EECP therapy promotes coronary collateral growth (arteriogenesis) in a single-blinded, sham-controlled study of 15 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, treated for 30 hours at two-hours per daily session. Nine patients received EECP treatment with 300 mmHg of cuff inflation pressure (EECP group), six with 80 mmHg inflation pressure (sham group). Invasive coronary collateral assessment was performed at baseline and after EECP therapy using the Collateral Flow Index (CFI); a ratio of mean occlusive pressure determined invasively using a pressure guidewire distal to the balloon-occluded coronary artery and the mean aortic pressure. In the EECP group, CFI changed from 0.122 ± 0.06 to 0.210 ± 0.07, p=0.0002, and in the sham group from 0.165 ± 0.08 to 0.130 ± 0.06, p=0.04. The active EECP treatment induced a difference of CFI of 0.088 ± 0.07 versus –0.044 ± 0.07 in the sham group (p=0.00005). The study concluded that the clinical benefit of EECP for CAD patients might be explained by its arteriogenetic effect due to the increased laminar shear stress at the endothelial cell layer, improving endothelial function.
"The clinical effectiveness of EECP in the treatment of ischemic heart disease has been well established, but the multiple mechanisms of action (MOA) remain to be explored. The mounting evidence that EECP increases blood flow velocity and therefore the shear stress on the endothelium leading to improvement in endothelial function can now be recognized as one of the leading MOA. The two randomized-controlled studies presented during this ACC meeting provide definitive evidence to support the hypothesis that EECP improves endothelial function and enhances arteriogenesis by promoting collateral growth," Dr. Conti said.

Man arrested for David Hasselhoff sign incident in Shelton
A Milford man has been arrested for his alleged role in the August theft of David Hasselhoff advertisement signs from a Cumberland Farms on Route 110 in Shelton.
The incident gained national attention when a store employee, who was trying to take back the outdoor promotional signs, was injured by a perpetrator's vehicle.
Adam Holter, 19, of Applewood Lane in Milford turned himself in to police Oct. 10, based on an active warrant. He was charged with second-degree assault and second-degree reckless endangerment.
Holter was released on $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Derby on Oct. 24.
The store employee is still recovering from the injuries he sustained during the incident. No other arrests are expected in the case, Shelton police said.
Incident occurred late at night
On Aug. 20 at about 1:15 a.m., the Shelton Police Department received a 9-1-1 call stating that a male in the parking lot of Cumberland Farms at 819 River Road (Route 110) had been struck by a motor vehicle.
Police and EMS personnel responded to the scene and located the 36-year-old male victim. The victim, an employee at the Cumberland Farm store, was taken to Bridgeport Hospital and listed as being in critical condition.
Black SUV was involved
The initial investigation revealed that a black SUV pulled into the parking lot at Cumberland Farms. The victim later observed a white male get out of the vehicle and cut two David Hasselhoff advertisement signs off of a light pole at the establishment, police said.
The perpetrator then put the signs in the back of the vehicle, according to police, and the victim approached the vehicle in an attempt to get the signs back.
Police said the vehicle sped away and the victim was dragged, spun around and flipped backwards, landing on his head. The suspect vehicle headed south on River Road toward Stratford.
Three people were in suspect vehicle
Detectives reviewed surveillance video and spoke with witnesses. Police announced that they were looking for a black SUV with a white male driver, a white female in the front passenger seat, and a white male in the back seat.
Soon after the incident, police said a 19-year-old male came forward and admitted his involvement in the incident at Cumberland Farms. Police said this male, who allegedly was the driver of the vehicle, then cooperated with detectives in the investigation. That individual has now been identified as Holter.
About the promotional signs
David Hasselhoff is an actor and singer, best known for his role on the TV shows "Baywatch" and "Knight Rider."
He has been featured in Cumberland Farms advertising material promoting the retail outlet's iced coffee. This includes life-size cardboard signs of Hasselhoff, such as the ones involved in the Shelton incident.
Theft of the large Hasselhoff advertising signs had become a problem at many Cumberland Farms locations, various media outlets have reported.
After the Shelton incident, Hasselhoff publicly offered his "heartfelt thoughts and prayers" to the injured store employee and his family.
(Editor's note: An earlier version of this article stated that Hasselhoff had offered his "assistance" to the injured store worker, but that was an inaccurate way to describe what Hasselhoff had done through his Twitter messages after hearing about the Aug. 20 incident in Shelton. We regret the error and any confusion it may have caused.)

(CBS) – Just hours after a Chicago man was shot and killed during an attempted carjacking, there was another violent robbery, just blocks away.
Three decades of business is clouded by three days of worry for Noble Square's Ross Luisi.
The businessman notes several incidents of violent crime within a mile since Wednesday:
–48-year-old father and grandfather Aristeo Soriano shot dead walking home from work on Huron Street.
–a 28-year-old was fatally shot trying to protect his girlfriend, attempting to zoom away from a carjacker on Greenview.
–a 34-year-old man was shot during an armed robbery at Division and Ashland.
"The police need to be present, they need to be in the square at nighttime," Luisi says.
Ward 2 Ald. Brian Hopkins says he's on it and has pressed police to reallocate resources.
"We're getting more patrol officers, more cops overnight, more undercover surveillance, the license plate readers have been deployed. We're doing everything we possibly can to catch these criminals and to make the neighborhood safe again."
The alderman says those license plate readers come in handy here because the belief is criminals target this area because of easy access to the highway.
No arrests have been reported.

Game Overview
In Summary
Take the 3D captain's chair and lead your crew through more than 30 missions ot not only combat, but exploration and diplomacy. Strategic rather than fast-paced, Bridge Commander aims to capture the feeling of capital ship combat that up until now only Jean-Luc Picard has tasted.
What's The Big Deal?
It Bridge Commander doesn't turn out to be the best Star Trek game ever, or at least the best Star Trek space combat game ever, (not that that's going to be difficult) then we'll eat our Federation uniforms - not that we have any you understand.
Although it will quite clearly never happen, if ever there was to be a Star Trek vs Star Wars space combat game, with TIE fighters shooting down Federation shuttlecraft and the Millennium Falcon outrunning the Enterprise in the race to Alderaan, Totally Games would be the developer behind it.
Like a glorious trail of gaming waypoints cutting through the vast emptiness of mediocrity, Totally Games has left in its wake some of the most stunning space and flight combat games ever created. Although the success of the X-Wing series may have had as much to do with the universe in which it was based as the games themselves, it wouldn't be too much of an exaggeration to say that it was X-Wing and its three sequels that helped kept Star Wars alive throughout the 20-year drought of films.
However, for their next space game, Totally Games and Larry Holland have switched sides. Ditching the fast-paced combat of Star Wars, Totally Games has moved over to the ponderous diplomatic angle of Star 7Yek, where the black-and-white boundaries of morality are less defined and the uniforms more starched. The legacy, however, is no less daunting. Star Trek games, apart from a couple of ageing point-and-click adventures, are in need of a warp-speed game. Star Trek needs an X-Wing of its very own, and Totally Games is perhaps the only developer who has any chance of delivering it.
First Contact
However, Bridge Commander will be about as far removed from X-Wing as Star Trek is to Star Wars. As we have seen in such calamities as Starfleet Academy and, to a lesser extent, Klingon Academy (reviewed last issue), doing the Star Wars thing in the Star Trek universe is just plain wrong. Playing to the strengths of the Next Generation series, Bridge Commander will centre as much on exploration and diplomacy as it will combat. As Federation doctrine dictates, if combat can be avoided, it should be. There are consequences to your actions and if, for instance, a civilian freighter comes under attack, you may find you'll have to ask questions first and shoot later, perhaps teleporting the beleaguered crew under cover of diplomacy.
From a 3D view on the bridge of the USS Sovereign, your success as captain will rely as much on your actions as it will the crew. Around you each crew member will work together, manning security, engineering, medical, science, navigation and helm, and you can personally take over each of these sections. As systems fail and consoles blow, engineering teams will hastily make repairs around you and in the heat of battle you can watch from a view outside the ship.
The story, which will bring in the vocal talents of Captain Picard and Commander Data, revolves around a typical galaxy-threatening scenario, this time close to Cardassian space. Colonists need rescuing, borders are threatened and during the course of 30 or so missions, we're told a new alien race will make itself known.
Although pretty much sticking to the script in terms of design, what is so promising about Bridge Commander is that Totally Games is prepared to make space combat, as a genre, fit into the Star Trek universe rather than the other way around. If it works, we could be looking at a first for Star Trek gamers - a good space combat game. It's about time.

ICML is a global non-profit organization dedicated to helping lubrication practitioners succeed in their professional careers. ICML certification exams are in accordance with ISO 18436 and are available worldwide, in multiple languages.
Why to Focus on Effective Lubrication?
Professor Ernest Rabinowicz, a true pioneer in the field of Tribology in 1970 discovered that,
- 75% of bearings lost their usefulness through surface degradation.
- 75% of that degradation was due to mechanical wear; 25% was due to corrosion.
- Calculating the impact of this problem, Dr. Rabinowicz noted that 6% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was lost annually through mechanical wear.
- Interestingly, lubricant films are one of the first lines of defense in the war against such losses, which, today, equate to trillions of dollars.

Sulafa Silim, @dawa.apothecary
How do you describe your job to your family?
I am the owner/founder/curator of Dawa Apothecary, a health wellness social club providing access and opportunity for women of colour. The various descriptions family use to describe my business are interesting: they often refer to it as either a project or initiative—it makes me realize that the needle hasn't shifted for female entrepreneurs, particularly ones that are service-driven but also women-centered. Women-centred businesses are seen as soft or non-profit work and aren't seen as a vital business market or need.
Where did you go to school and what did you study?
I have a masters degree in multimedia journalism from Bournemouth University in the UK ; it was a pivotal program in terms of thinking how to shape narratives online.
What was your first paying gig out of school? (In your field, or not.)
At one point I had three gigs: temping for the MS Society; hitting the lines as a telemarketer supporting the social sector and also working at the jewelry counter at the Bay.
What's the weirdest gig you've ever done solely for money?
I've taken every opportunity to make money as a form of survival, including selling household water jugs door-to-door in Ottawa to make ends meet.
Name one piece of career advice you always give.
'We don't save lives.' Your worth is not wrapped in the urgency of the work. Learn to prioritize and don't be a slave to the knee-jerk mentality that workplaces reward.
What's the worst career advice you've ever gotten?
Recently I heard an executive say that stress is part of being in the working world; so if you want to succeed you should strive for imbalance. However what she failed to mention is that sustained stress has a negative impact on your livelihood and your overall quality of life.
How would you describe your industry in terms of representation and inclusivity?
Health and wellness is a white, privileged woman's industry. So as a plus-size Black, immigrant, Muslim woman, my goal is to trump the 'conventional' idea of perfection and idealism and infuse integrity and authenticity in my work. I come from people who are full of nuance, vibrancy and their own traditions of health and wellness, and I want to merge those traditions with what exists in Canada and the western world in general.
What's the most pressing issue facing women in your industry right now? What would fix it?
Access, opportunity, funding, space, time and mentorship. Where are the incubators for women who aren't working in the tech fields? Where is the funding to upskill? Where are the opportunities for women of colour in the health and wellness ecosystem, without tokenism?
I believe Canada has a rich entrepreneurial ecosystem that is focused on a few industries and my solution is to create avenues for more funding opportunities and training for business owners/entrepreneurs.
Do you think you earn a similar wage as your male counterparts in your industry?
As a female entrepreneur? No. As a Black, Muslim immigrant? No. I am not at the table with venture capitalists and often this is seen as a 'little woman' thing; in other words, when women of a specific demographic are the key stakeholders of a business, they're perceived as having little purchase or decision-making power.
When you're feeling low about your work, what's the one thing you always do/watch/read/listen to bring yourself back up again?
I listen to my cheerleaders—people who remind me that I am on my life's purpose; that I am meant to support people in making positive impacts on their holistic health.
I also lean on siblings and my parents for different reasons: my father for his tenacity and his ability to push through adversity or naysayers, my mother for her fearlessness and her ability to say, whisper or yell words of wisdom, like Swahili sayings such as 'haraka haraka haina baraka,' which means 'blessing don't come from rushing.'
Lastly, I really focus on my purpose and intention; I remove myself from the space or the challenge and free myself to be me. Who I am outside the business is very important to me.

New York Mens Fashion Week is well underway and here's some of the street style on offer. Judging by the snaps, New York men's style, is laid back, ironic, irreverent and playing with gender stereotypes. Take inspiration from the fashionistas to sartorially let your hair down, borrow your sister's skirt, wear a little pink and play around with trouser waists.

Happy Sunday guys. I hope we're all well?
Yes, I moved!.
No. Not to a new site (yet). Not to my husband's house (yet). Not to the beat of a song (lol). But out of my parent's house.
Yes. Everything they told you is true. You'll have the freedom to do whatever you want. The freedom to misbehave. The freedom to have friends over. The freedom to eat noodles all day. The freedom to walk unclad around the house.
Sadly, nobody tells you that some really stressful tasks accompany this giant step you have taken.
They don't tell you how annoying it is to have your generator serviced. The fact that you have to pay for it yourself is what is extremely annoying.
They don't tell you that you'll eventually get tired of eating noodles, and will start to miss your mum's cooking.
They don't tell you that somewhere in the deep recesses of your heart, you'll start to miss living with your parents.
I sound depressing, don't I?
Lol. Ignore me please.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that I am gradually becoming a grown, independent woman.
I know it takes more than moving out of my parents house to achieve the 'grown, independent woman' status.
Discipline, determination, self-control, are very important in getting to this crucial status.
Although I could be lazy, and could also give into things I shouldn't (hence self-control), I am consciously working towards being able to put myself under control.
In between coming to the realization that my mum will not stop calling me 4-8 times a day, I am still pretty shook that she even let me leave home.
When I have my kids, I'll probably be like this when they're moving out.
So, I guess this is where I should say, " I am sorry I haven't been consistent here. I moved, that's why". But naaaaa, I won't.
Consistency is another very important thing I need to incorporate into my 'grown, independent woman' status.
P.S: My older sister and I moved into our own place, so, I am not exactly ' on my own'.
Have a wonderful week, and a blessed month.
With lots of love,

Port Talbot has been praised in a national award recognising efforts to regenerate towns and cities in the UK.
The recognition was made by a six-strong panel of retail and property professionals at the British Council of Shopping Centres' annual conference in Birmingham.
Port Talbot received a commendation in the overall award category for its 'bold and positive' approach to keeping the town centre alive.
Whitehaven was named as overall winner. The Cumbrian port town was praised for transforming its waterfront and central area into an attractive place for both shoppers and tourists.
Ian Mashiter, chairman of the BCSC Town Centre Environment Awards jury, said many entrants had overcome economic decline and limited investment to regenerate areas.
'Those towns have set about creating a lively and attractive destination for shoppers and other visitors,' he said.
'In doing so, they have also generated a far more positive climate for other inward investment.'
'Given the challenges that face them, the winning towns have all achieved some impressive results.'

The CVCA Royals advanced Sunday evening to the championship of their CVCA Christmas Tournament, as they shutout the Lakewood Rangers 5-0.
The Royals will play the Normandy Invaders Monday at 2pm in the title game, this after the Invaders skated Sunday to a 4-1 win over Kent Roosevelt.
In the three games they have played thus far in the tourney, CVCA has outscored their opposition 22-6, collecting wins over Twinsburg (10-3), Chagrin Falls (7-3) and now Lakewood 5-0.
It was the NEOSI HS Player of the Week this past week, forward Christian Beckett, who got the Royals going, as he scored the first two goals of the affair to give CVCA a 2-0 advantage.
The first goal came at the 7:49 mark of the first with an assist to Luke Perrotta and Gabe Dearden, and another goal at the 13:49 point of the second period with Perrotta and Zach Miller each getting assists.
While that's all the Royals would need to hold up their trip to the championship game, they added two more second period goals, with Perrotta scoring with 12:18 to play in the period, and Sam Porter getting in on the act with a goal with 1:04 to play in the second.
The Royals final goal of the game went to Miller, as he lit the lamp past Lakewood goalie Rob Holden with 2:36 to play to close out the scoring.
JT Nichols got the win in net for CVCA, as he stopped 11 shots in the win. The Royals outshot the Rangers 35-11.
The title game of the tourney on Monday will take place at 2pm.

Sam Bourne: To Kill the Truth review - taut thriller of big ideas | reviews, news & interviews
Sam Bourne: To Kill the Truth review - taut thriller of big ideas
Sam Bourne: To Kill the Truth review - taut thriller of big ideas
Maggie Costello is back, fighting an alt-right conspiracy to reprogramme history
Great libraries burning, historians murdered: someone somewhere is removing the past by obliterating the ways the world remembers. Erasing the histories of slavery and the Holocaust, of blacks and Jews, is just the beginning. The premise of Sam Bourne's thrilling novel is the existence of a conspiracy to annihilate all the evidence of historic atrocities through the millennia. Books, of course, must go, and in a neat twist even the biggest book distribution centres, Amazon included, are targeted. Bourne's great gift is to take reality and give it a good shove, a what if? that we are persuaded to believe.
In To Kill the Truth, our transplanted Dubliner, smart and sassy Maggie Costello, who was at the heart of Bourne's prescient To Kill the President (2017), is the investigating heroine even as her own professional life implodes. Bourne's trademark lapidary prose, and the compression of events into less than a week are here. The avowed aim of the Bookburner manifesto, deliberately leaked to the FBI, is the obliteration of history to return the world to an Edenic state of ignorance. The stakes are staggeringly high.
The totally compelling basis of To Tell the Truth is the pervasive and persuasive nature of fake news. The idea is carried to its logical conclusion: if you destroy all the evidence, the witnesses to the past – both documents and people – you can make the narrative whatever you choose and escape any credible challenges to your version. The framing device is a charismatic historian William Keane, who once taught at Stanford, and now in Charlottesville, Virginia has brought a court case to prove that slavery did not exist. The mantra of his supporters is, Don't know, don't care/Nothing's happened, nothing's there.
This novel is a fiction but, as the author tells us, it is a book about truth rooted in fact. The arguments of some of the alt-right are presented eloquently, notably by Crawford "Mac" McNamara, a Steve Bannon figure who is horribly sincere and eloquent, as is his delight in having American voters simply indifferent or, even more helpfully, confused. The set scene at the heart of the narrative is a conversation between Maggie and Mac.
Along the way we learn about the fictional "Alexandria Group", a dozen of the greatest libraries in the world, named after the great Egyptian library which, mythology suggests, was burnt down several millennia ago; actually it dwindled to nothing. From the Bodleian and the British Library to the University of Virginia with its historic holdings on the history of slavery, they become the targets of the shadowy conspirators. In the course of the story, 11 of them are burnt down in an incredibly sophisticated computer attack that also disables security and takes over command of the electrical and electronic systems of the buildings. Several of the fires and how they were caused are described in mesmerising detail, while the digital back-ups for the libraries' contents are hacked and destroyed, too. The destruction of Jerusalem's Yad Vashem – not exactly a library but the record of the Holocaust – is thrown in for good measure.
Its nuggets of truth are stranger than fiction
These hacker geniuses effectively turn the libraries' very sophisticated technological protection against them: they are destroyed, so to speak, by themselves. At the Bodleian the night watchmen do not need to make their rounds since they watch from screens, but their screens – hacked – show nothing. The destruction is minuted second by second, and underlying it is a not-so-subtle plea that our trusting reliance on the wonders of technology imperils far more than we understand.
There are individual murders around the world, too: historians and the witnesses and survivors of the Holocaust and recent genocides, from the Balkans to Rwanda. Even Google is hacked. The power of technology for good and terrible ill is a theme, and we are left guessing until near the end as to whether one computer genius community tucked away in the woods of Montana are goodies or baddies. The internet destruction of Maggie's reputation via fake sex tapes and fake e-mails is also all too plausible.
Bourne's understanding of the machinations and methods of Washington DC and how the government works gives To Kill the Truth a gloss of authenticity. However twisted, ideology motivates the villains, as does the worldview of our heroine. Maggie is an appealingly flawed heroine, the compulsively controlling daughter of an alcoholic father: her ability to somehow survive both physical peril and mental stress, not to mention human obstacles, is a constant. Connections and coincidences keep changing the pattern and plot that she is discovering, but she makes sense of it all, at vast personal cost...
Bourne's great gift is to skilfully and subtly use exaggeration to make our current situation in our mad world even more real, even at times understandable. To Kill the Truth is page-turning entertainment, where you identify and empathise with some of the characters, enjoy the geographical changes and descriptions of Washington power games, the cultural shifts between people of varying backgrounds which painlessly impart a great deal of information. Its nuggets of truth are stranger than fiction. Bourne plunges us into the here and now to make us think not only of the past, but how the ignorance of history imperils both present and future.

As is often the way with Kink of the week, the topic posed is often something I'd not really thought about on the surface but if I look deeper then there usually is something there.
So backs. What can I say about my own back? Well like the rest of me it's on the hairy side and it's sporting rather a lot of tattoos.
Now I'm not one for receiving any sort of pain but I must admit there is something tremendously satisfying about having ones back clawed. You know that moment in the throws when her nails sink into your skin and rake your back. It's great feedback that you're doing a good job and for me it's a huge turn on.
So what about my partners back. Well visually it's appealing. Taking in the whole of her back, tracing my fingers all the way from shoulders right down to the tantalising curves of her hips…
Something I enjoy very much is administering a nice long hot oil massage. If you've never tried it then I highly recommend it. It's guaranteed when done properly to relax her so much.
Now something which up until fairly recently would have been a hard limit for me is corset piercing. I've become quite fascinated of late by the whole beauty and intricacy of it. It's something I never thought would appeal to me and something I won't be attempting for quite some time yet but it just goes to show how things can change.
I think more than anything for me, I see the back as a blank canvas. She is restrained, hands above her head and ready for a flogging, the mind wanders as to what kind of intricate patterns you will leave behind on her skin. Every flogger, every scene a different utterly unique collage left behind for you to admire. A tremendous thrill for me and one which I'll never tire of.
And last but not least, a most excellent location for knife play. The cold steel running from the shoulder blades down and tracing to the hips. The beauty of the long white lines dotted and interspersed with red along pale skin is just breathtaking in my book.

JACK ROSS has enjoyed a rollercoaster season at Sunderland but can finish on a high tomorrow.
Ross was recruited from St Mirren to reignite a club that had suffered back-to-back relegations.
He faced a big job and has stopped the rot but a late-season blip saw the Stadium of Light side miss out on automatic promotion from League One.
A whopping 19 draws helped contribute to them finishing fifth – six points off second spot and three adrift of tomorrow's opponents Charlton.
A visit to Wembley also ended in defeat on penalties to Portsmouth in the EFL Trophy Final but revenge was sweet when they battled past Pompey 1-0 in the play-off semis thanks to Chris Maguire's stunner.
The final hurdle are a Charlton side who needed penalties to take care of Doncaster after a dramatic second-leg home tie which they lost 3-2 after extra time.
In regular season Sunderland won 2-1 at home and drew 1-1 so it shows how little there is between the teams.
It's the toughest of the three English play-off finals to call and every chance of a draw after 90 minutes at 9-4 with BetVictor.
Charlton are slight favourites at 17-10 with Sky Bet to win in 90 minutes while Sunderland are 2-1 at bet365.
It may take Sunderland's extra experience, bigger support and greater desire to return to a sleeping giant to the Championship to see them over the line on penalties.
Keeper Jon McLaughlin was brilliant to shut out Portsmouth twice and the Scot could be a hero again.
To go to penalties it's 11-1 with William Hill and to win on spot-kicks both teams are 12-1 with Hill.
The last time the sides met in a play-off final it finished 4-4 after extra time with Charlton winning on pens to move up to the Premier League. How times have changed!
With that game in mind and the fact both meetings this season have seen both score that will be well backed at 20-23 with betfair.
Today it's the League Two play-off final between Tranmere and Newport and it's not an easy call either.
Tranmere finished higher up and were the most impressive semi-final winners so I'm backing them at 4-5 with Skybet to lift the trophy. To win in 90 minutes they are 6-4 at McBookie while Newport are 21-10 with Betfred.
League Two Player of the Year James Norwood could be the difference between the sides. His cracker against Forest Green last week took his tally to 32 and is 17-10 with Paddy Power to net at any time and 4-1 with boylesports to score first.
Recommended Bets
- Charlton v Sunderland draw
- Sunderland to win on penalties
- Tranmere
- Norwood to score

Skip to 0 minutes and 3 seconds Imagine different illustrated versions of Aesop's Fables. They might be pretty books, and in each version, the pictures would, of course, add to the Fables. But the Fables might work without the pictures too. It would be a predominantly verbal narrative. On the other hand, here's a famous wordless picturebook, The Lion and the Mouse. It's also drawn from a fable by Aesop. But as you can see it's got no text, or barely at all - in order to follow the story, you need to make sense of the sequence of pictures.
Skip to 0 minutes and 45 seconds This is an example of a mostly visual narrative.
Skip to 0 minutes and 53 seconds And here's a picturebook in which you have enhancing or complementary relationships. It's called Shackleton's Journey,
Skip to 1 minute and 0 seconds and it's what we'd call creative non-fiction: you can see how much the drawings enhance the solely factual descriptions. For instance, look at this beautiful collection of minute vignettes that show you
Skip to 1 minute and 13 seconds what the team take on board: the exact number of dogs, the precise number of clothes.
Skip to 1 minute and 22 seconds Everything is tidy and in its place: an ideal expedition. Of course, this is not like the messy reality of what all these dogs would be like. The picture presents the dreamed idea of the expedition, a fantasised orderliness.
Skip to 1 minute and 44 seconds Later on, as the boat becomes rocked by the ocean, it looks tiny and fragile on the page, and the picture mimics paintings or engravings of big epics – the Odyssey, Milton's Paradise Lost – to make the expedition look like something of Homeric proportions ; another facet of the same fantasy.
What does that look like?
In this video, we have looked at picturebooks characterised by predominantly visual narratives, and complementary or enhancing relationships between words and pictures.
What kinds of literacy skills would you say such picturebooks encourage?

NZ Work on Narnia Not Halted
In regards to an earlier story that ran about the Narnia production pulling up roots and moving to the UK, the mysterious N writes: 'I have spoken to a friend of mine working on pre-production for Prince Caspian, and she has dismissed this story as 'untrue' (to put it politely). Work is carrying on as normal.' In fact stuff.co.nz, the news gathering service for New Zealand, has now posted a story about it. Take a look.

Amata Welcomes $500,000 in Federal Funds for Ofu Rescue Vehicle
Washington, D.C. – Friday, Congresswoman Aumua Amata welcomed $500,000 in federal funds for a rescue and fire vehicle for the airport serving Manu'a.
"I'm delighted to welcome this federal provision for a dependable rescue and fire vehicle at the airport on Ofu," said Aumua Amata. "The U.S. Department of Transportation recognized this important need to be able to help save lives and property with the proper equipment. It's always essential to ensure that all of our islands are served and included in federal resources."
Specifically, the $500,000 DOT/Federal Aviation Administration grant is designated for the acquisition of the replacement rescue and firefighting vehicle at Ofu, ensuring the airport can operate within the safety regulations.
"Thank you to once again to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, an experienced leader and a friend to American Samoa," continued Congresswoman Amata. "Thank you also to all the public servants involved at theFAA and DOT, and especially those here at our airports keeping us safe as we travel."
"In particular, I appreciate the efforts of Ports Director Taimalelagi Dr. Claire Poumele, for her actions to acquire and implement this grant," concluded Amata.

A Christchurch schoolgirl has landed the coveted title role in the award-winning Highcliffe Charity Players' next musical – the legendary Broadway and West End smash hit, Annie. 13-year-old Lucy-May Alner, a pupil at Twynham School, will play the child lead when the show opens at the Regent Centre, Christchurch on 28 May.
Based on a popular American comic strip, Annie tells the heart-warming, rags-to-riches story of a little orphan girl, and her dog, Sandy.
Lucy-May was chosen from 53 hopefuls aged between 8 and 13, who competed for this challenging role over a six-week series of demanding 'Annie' Audition Workshops with the show's Production Team in Highcliffe.
Says Lucy-May, who lives in Christchurch: "It's a dream come true! I have always wanted to play Annie – I first saw the film when I was six and watched the DVD so much. I loved the music immediately and soon knew all the words. I especially liked Sandy the dog. I feel so lucky to have been given this amazing opportunity – I can't wait to get up on stage to play Annie."
Lucy-May has been performing since the age of eight and has appeared locally in Oklahoma! (Pavilion, Bournemouth) Whistle Down the Wind (Regent Centre) and Bugsy Malone (The Mayflower, Southampton). A member of the Big Little Theatre School for the past two years, she is also an accomplished ballroom and Latin dancer and intends to take her GCSEs in both dance and drama. Her ambition is to become a professional actress or choreographer. This is her debut with Charity Players.
Says Kate Claxton, the show's Director: "I have been delighted and astonished by the amount of talent the girls have shown throughout the workshops – they have all worked so hard. However, Lucy-May stood out because of her incredible ability to perform with maturity and confidence in all of the disciplines. She has a wonderful stage presence and I was drawn to her lovely smile, impeccable dance skills and her focus in the workshops and in the auditions. I am so excited to be working with her.
"I have also selected an understudy – 10-year-old Rachel Howarth (from Bransgore) who will have her own chance of stardom when she takes on the role of Annie for one performance only on the Saturday 31 May matinee. For the rest of the run she will play 'July' – one of the orphans. Rachel, too, has an extraordinary confidence in her performance; at her tender age she has a remarkable ability to engage an audience. She also has a singing voice that will blow your socks off!
"It's been an extremely difficult task because I could only choose 25 out of the 53 hopefuls from our workshops to perform the young principal roles and supporting orphans for the show. Rehearsals for the youngsters begin on 8 March and I'm so looking forward to it."
Says HCP chairman Georgina Smith: "With a cast that features a number of talented children plus a cute dog, and a score that includes such memorable hits as 'Tomorrow', it's little wonder that Annie has proved such an enduring family favourite. We hope that even those youngsters who have not been successful this time, will come back to future HCP Workshops. We see them as a training ground to develop future Charity Players, thus ensuring the company's continued growth and success."
Annie runs at the Regent Centre for five performances from 28-31 May 2014 (half term week). 'Early Bird' Tickets (£12.50, paid for by 31 March) are already on sale at the Regent Centre Box Office (01202 499199) and online: www.regentcentre.co.uk

Why Whey Protein is a Good IdeaBy fitnessroar - 20 April 2020
Whey protein is one of the two proteins found in milk, with the other being casein. It is the water-soluble part of milk and is popular among the gym goers and sports persons because of its benefit for muscle development.
If you think that you are maintaining the diet and taking proper vitamins from veggies and fruits still not getting the results, then whey is the solution for you. We narrowed down the health benefits tucked away in your tub of whey.
Reduce hunger and promote weight loss
Whey helps in reducing hunger, people who take whey in drinks have reduced levels of ghrelin (it is a hormone that tells your brain that you are hungry). This ultimately stops you from eating unhealthy packed snacks and helps you in not getting a ball-shaped physique. When you consume protein it suppresses your appetite which leads to lesser calories intake which further promotes weight loss.
Reduces stress
In case you are stressed, do not opt for alcohol, whey protein is a healthier solution for it. In a study, it was founded that people who consume whey protein have fewer symptoms of depression and had a better mood than the ones who did not. Whey contains tryptophan which is an element that helps you feel relaxed and composed.
Beneficial for muscles after workout
Whey protein promotes faster recovery and helps you build good muscle mass after the workout. You must take whey protein within 30 minutes after your workout. A glass of it can help you with faster muscle recovery.
Whey protein contains glutathione. This is an antioxidant which scavenges free radical and delays the signs of ageing. Besides this it helps the body to create hormones and vital enzymes to keep them running efficiently.
Increases strength
People who consume whey protein have greater muscle strength. A study suggests that whey improves your grip strength and also it reinforces the muscles of the body that helps in working out for a long time.

As we get older, we can fall victim to fading eyebrows as they get lighter or turn gray. We might have plucked out a few here and there, but it's not a good idea, as we will wind up with none! So, what are the options for defining brows, covering the gray and coloring them to match our hair color?
Brow Tint: Brow tints are water-based and typically attached to a mascara-type applicator. They come in shades of blond, taupe, brunette, auburn and gray. It's best to apply them to the eyebrow hair and not on the skin. Lightly apply the tint in the opposite direction of how the hair grows, then blend with a brow brush. It's water resistant and will not run or smudge. This is a great, quick fix that does not involve a pencil or brush, or skill in drawing on the line. It's often a great beginner product for brow definition. These tints can also be used to cover gray hair on your head. Just apply the color at the root, then comb it through your hair. It's the best quick fix until you get to your colorist!
Brow Wax: This is a blend of wax and a creamy powder that applies color naturally and stays all day. It's a little easier to control over using a straight brow powder, as the texture is creamy. It's best to use a stiff angle brush that is not too long (about 1/8 "). With the brush, outline on top of the brow with long straight lines, then underneath; after that, blend or fill in between the lines. Brow wax comes in similar colors as the brow tint: blond, taupe, auburn, dark ash and platinum.
Eyebrow Tip: How to draw your eyebrow shape? Place a brush vertically on the outside of your nose. Following this point directly up, is where your eyebrow should start. Then, place your brush on a diagonal starting from the outside corner of your nostril, extending to the outside crease of your eye. This is the place where your eyebrow should end. Place your brush directly above the end of your outer pupil and straight above is where the high point in your arch should be.
Brow Powder: This is similar to the wax, but the without the slip of the creamy wax. Again, use a stiff angle brush a little longer (about 1/4″) and outline the top of the brow, then under the brow and fill in with brush. I always recommend BLENDING with a brow groomer brush so it looks natural. We want to define the brows, but do not want to look harsh.
It's often hard to find the perfect color for your brows, especially if you are gray. And gray has become a more popular trend. In general, a taupe color for your brows is a good choice, even if you are a darker brunette. Black or Deep Brown can be too severe.
Take a look. Do you have fading eyebrows? Make sure they are defining you! Think of it as putting a frame on a picture; it pops the inside photo – and your brow shape and color will pop your eyes!
Now, create a diffused glow with shimmer. Here's how.

Press Release
April 18, 2018
Dispatch from Crame No. 286:
I am deeply disappointed by the announcement yesterday that the Supreme Court has denied my Motion for Reconsideration of its earlier Decision to dismiss my Petition for Certiorari questioning, among others, the validity of the original charge filed against me by the DOJ Panel of Prosecutors before the RTC of Muntinlupa, Br. 204, and the jurisdiction of the regular courts to hear and decide the same.
I am disappointed but hardly surprised.
After all, my legal team, led by former Solicitor General Florin T. Hilbay, has more than ably presented and argued our position that the allegations in the Information amount to no crime at all. After all, none of the inculpatory allegations are attributable to me; they all pertained to the self-confessed drug lords who allegedly traded illegal drugs and delivered money to persons other than me. At most, the allegations amount to bribery, which falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Sandiganbayan to hear, try and decide.
It is disheartening because our case is clearly meritorious. And I say that as plainly and as objectively as I possibly could.
No one who has read the records and the Information filed by the DOJ can make a mistake about that. In fact, even as the Supreme Court voted--9 to 6--to dismiss my Petition, the separate opinions of the members of the Court showed that there was absolutely no consensus as to what is the true nature of the charge against me. Only five (5) of the nine (9) justices agree that the crime charged is Illegal Drug Trading (the original accusation of the DOJ), not Conspiracy to Commit Drug Trading (the subsequent accusation of the OSG). Some members agreed that it amounted to, at most, bribery.
Therefore, it is difficult to understand how an impartial tribunal can allow a citizen to remain under detention when even they themselves cannot agree on the nature of the charge. Is that not the very definition of lack of due process? That, basically, is the question we posed in our MR.
I would, therefore, be very interested to see why the SC denied it. And I withhold further comments until I have seen and read its ruling.
In any event, the DOJ Panel of Prosecutors has "amended" the Information. This is a clear admission that they are unable to allege, much less prove, the corpus delicti that would qualify the case against me as "drug charges", whether consummated or mere conspiracy. How can I be charged for either offense when the prosecution hasn't even said what type of drugs was allegedly traded? Or how much of it was traded? Or who are the buyers and sellers? Yet, beyond all reason, that's what I am to be charged with.
It is legally untenable, but politically predictable: it must be drug charges simply because that is a non-bailable offense.
Worse is the blatant failure--nay, refusal--of the DOJ to prosecute and hold accountable the self-confessed drug lords. They even withdrew the charges against the co-accused who admitted that he received money from the inmates! Presumably, that is the deal that was struck in exchange for their false testimonies against me. And this makes this whole miscarriage of justice even more sickening.
But all these merely prove that my case is not about prosecution, but persecution. They don't care about charging me with the "correct" offense. They don't even care about holding real drug lords accountable. This is not about winning the "War against Drugs". All they really want is to detain me indefinitely, in order to prevent me from performing my mandate as a duly elected Senator of the Republic. This is about winning the "War against De Lima."
Nevertheless, I vow to continue fighting for my innocence. Because I am innocent. No lie can ever change that fact. Someday I will attain my vindication, and all the lies--especially the lies about the deaths of the thousands of victims of the so-called "War on Drugs"--will be exposed, and the butchers, tyrants and oppressors will be brought to answer for their crimes against the Constitution and against humanity.
Tuloy ang laban!

Festivals & Events
Great Ethiopian Run (GER)- (Nov.17/2019), GER Special Package (Nov.13-26/2019)
Race with the best on the roof of Africa – Sign up for the Great Ethiopian Run!
At between 2200 and 2500 metres above sea level, Addis Ababa is the third highest capital of the world. On November 18, 2018 you can join the world's best and 35,000 Ethiopian runners in a 10 km race through Ethiopia's capital.
This is Africa's biggest road race, and along with the elite athletes there is a huge variety of runners, from young kids to pensioners, and there's a wonderful atmosphere. 2018 will be the 17th edition.
The great runner Haile Gebre Selassie, has been the main mover behind this very exciting event, which has taken place every year since 2001, and has used the race to raise consciousness about the terrible threat posed by AIDS. (See www.ethiopiarun.org for online registration and for more information about the Great Run and other causes it supports.)
We can arrange airport pick ups, and book your hotel. In addition, we can provide a variety of trips around Ethiopia, see below for some typical packages, and visit the rest of our website for more information about Ethiopia and what there is to see.
One week package
Flying out of London on 13 November, and flying back a week later on 20 November, we can offer race participants a tour of the capital, and some day trips out of Addis Ababa to take in some of Ethiopia's stunning scenery.
For those interested, we are also offering an extension up till 27 November, which will take in some of the legendary sites on Ethiopia's Historic Route, including Lalibela and its rock hewn churches, acknowledged to be one of the wonders of the world. (See below for details.)
Sign up now, limited numbers available!
Wednesday 13 November: Fly out of London Heathrow on Ethiopian Airlines ET701 2150 flight to Addis Ababa.
Thursday 14 November: Arrive at 0700 and transfer to a hotel near the race start and finish (we can advise you of the relative costs). Rest up till lunch time, after which we will have a guided city tour, going up to Mount Entoto overlooking the capital, and take in the National Museum and other sites on the way down.
We can discuss with participants training runs, and acclimatisation – at 2300-2500 metres, Addis Ababa is the third highest capital in the world.
Friday 15 November: Today we will go on an excursion to Sodere, a hot spring resort about 120 km from the capital, accessible on a good asphalt road. There is nice scenery on the way, and the grounds of the resort has a naturally heated swimming pool, and various places to soak in the therapeutic hot waters. The grounds are full of monkeys, so don't leave your sandwiches unguarded!
We will set off back to Addis Ababa late afternoon. Overnight hotel
Saturday 16 November: Another excursion today, this time north to Debre Libanos. Passing through the Solulta plain, an area where many athletes do their training, we come to the Jemma Valley Gorge where we can expect to see the endemic Gelada baboon, a magnificent primate with a long mane. There is great scenery as the land drops nearly 1000 metres towards the Jemma River, which is one of the tributaries of the Nile.
Debre Libanos is an important monastic center for Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, the monastery there was founded by the renowned 13th century mystic, Saint Teclehaimanot and there is a small cave near the church (which is of recent construction) where he is said to have stood for seven years on one leg, until the other wasted away and dropped off.
Leaving the Gorge we proceed to the church. After the church visitors can make the climb to the cave of St Teklehaimanot. If you continue up the hill from the cave from the top there's a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside.
We will set off back to Addis Ababa late afternoon. Overnight Hotel.
Sunday 17 November: Today is the great day, and it's a short stroll down to the race start. The rest of the day will be at leisure. Overnight Hotel.
Monday 18 November: We set off west today, our destination will be the Negash Lodge, but we will be taking in some great scenery en route, including the stunning Wonchi crater, which has a lake and islands in it. We will get to Negash Lodge mid afternoon, and take it easy in the naturally heated pool, or in the beautiful grounds, which has a resident population of monkeys.
Tuesday 19 November: Another relaxing morning before setting off back to Addis Ababa on the short route. There will be time for souvenir shopping and a rest up before we leave for our farewell dinner at the Crown Hotel, where we will see cultural dancing from Ethiopia's different regions.
Wednesday 20 November: After a late breakfast we will transfer to the airport for the final departure.
or Extension to the Historic Route
Thursday 21 November: Early transfer to the airport for the one hour flight (0700-0800) to Bahir Dar, an attractive town, well laid out with tree lined avenues and with the blue of the lake in the background.
On arrival we check into the Tana Hotel, situated on the shores of Lake Tana. 68 km wide and 73 km long, Tana is Ethiopia's largest lake and is dotted with islands, on many of which are found churches and monasteries.
After a break for refreshments, we explore the town. We visit the former palace of Emperor Haile Selassie at Bizeit, with great views of the town, and then the markets.
We take lunch in the hotel and then leave by boat for the Zeghie Peninsula, which is known for its 14th century, round, grass roofed churches and their magnificent wall murals. We visit two churches, Betra Mariam and Ura Kidane Mehret, walking through dense forest with lots of bird life, before returning to our hotel.
Bahir Dar has several clubs and bars where visitors can see traditional and modern Ethiopian music and dancing, and is also quite safe for wandering around at night. o/n Tana Hotel.
Friday 22 November: We set off after breakfast for the 3-4 hour drive to Gondar The road is in good shape, and there is attractive scenery en route as the road skirts the lake. On arrival, we check into the Goha Hotel, and start our city tour after lunch. The Goha Hotel is situated on a hill with a panoramic view of the town and its monuments, and with great sunsets from the terrace. Occasionally visitors will see the giant Lammergeyer, with its 3 metre wing span, soaring on the air currents by the hotel.
Gondar was the imperial capital from the 17th to mid 19th centuries, and the Royal Enclosure or Fasil Gibbi, provides visitors with a idea of what it must have been like in its hey day. Within the compound are the castles of various Gondarene emperors – extensive renovation is being carried out – along with a banqueting hall, stables and churches. About 2 km from the town centre is the bath of King Fasilides, where at Timkat (Ethiopian Epiphany) a nearby river is diverted to fill an area the size of a small swimming pool. Worshippers plunge into the cold water in a re-enactment of the baptism of Christ in the River Jordan.
Although most of Gondar's churches were destroyed during the Mahdist invasion from Sudan in the 1880s, one very fine example, Debre Berhan Selassie, was saved, according to the legend, by a swarm of bees which routed the invaders. The walls and ceiling are completely covered with murals – the angels' faces on the ceiling have become a common motif in Ethiopian design.
A good place to end your tour of Gondar is the ruined palace of Queen Mentowab, and the church of Qusquam Mariam, situated on a hill just outside town.
Gondar is a great place for experiencing the Ethiopian tradition of azmari music, where a couple of wandering minstrels, a girl with a strident voice clapping in time to the music accompanied by a man playing a single stringed violin or masinqo, entertain their listeners with songs about life, the world and their audience. Goha Hotel.
Saturday 23 November: Transfer to the airport for the flight to Lalibela (0910-0940). At the end of the 12th and beginning of the 13th centuries King Lalibela of the Zaghwe dynasty built a series of rock hewn churches – the New Jerusalem as he called it – now rightly acknowledged to be one of the wonders of the world. There are 13 churches in the town named after him, with others in the surrounding countryside. All are still in use today.
It is estimated that the churches took 25 years to construct – for the Kingdom based on Roha (later renamed Lalibela) to have kept a large work force engaged in economically unproductive labour for such a long period means that it disposed of a large economic surplus and was very wealthy. The area then was clearly fertile and agriculturally productive, whereas now deforestation and other forms of ecological degradation have reduced its productivity and made it prone to drought.
After checking into the Jerusalem Guest House we will start our tour of the first group of churches, returning to the hotel for lunch, and continuing the tour in the afternoon. (The churches are divided into two groups, the division being the River Yordanos or River Jordan.) o/n Jerusalem Hotel.
Sunday 24 November: After breakfast we hike (or ride mules) up the church of Ashetun Mariam, we pass small villages on the way up and there are marvellous views from the top of the surrounding countryside. In the afternoon we take a trip by car to the beautiful cave church of Yemrehane Christos. Jerusalem Hotel.
Monday 25 November: Transfer to the airport for the flight to Axum (0950-1030). From around 200 BC to 700 AD, Axum was the seat of an Empire which extended across the Red Sea to Arabia, traded with India and China, minted its own coinage, had its own alphabet and notational system, constructed great engineering works and dams and which was reckoned in the 4th century to be one of the four great powers of the ancient world. Today the visitor can see stelae (the largest single pieces of stone erected anywhere on the world, it is still not understood how they were transported from the quarry and erected), the tombs and castles of kings, Axum Museum and Mariamtsion Church, built on the site of Ethiopia's first church. A chapel within the church compound is believed by Ethiopian Orthodox Christians to house the Ark of the Covenant, or the original tablets of Moses (see Graham Hancock's The Sign and the Seal).
On arrival we transfer to the Sabean/ Yared Zema Hotel. We start our tour after lunch with a visit to the museum and stellae, and then ascend a hill to see the castle of King Kalab, passing Mai Shum (or the bath of the Queen of Sheba) on the way. Coming back into town we will see the tomb of King Basen, visit the small museum inside the church grounds (women are not allowed inside, nor into the 17th century church, but the priests usually bring out some crowns of kings for women visitors to see), and end the day with a visit to the site known locally as Queen Sheba's Palace, although in fact it is of a later date, the villa of an Axumite notable from around the 1st century AD. Dinner in hotel. o/n Yared Zema Hotel.
Tuesday 26 November: Transfer to the airport for the return flight to Addis Ababa (1050-1435). We can spend the afternoon souvenir shopping and visiting the Mercato, Africa's biggest market, where you can buy everything from livestock to computers. We will have a farewell dinner at the Yod Abyssinian Cultural Restaurant , and see dancing from Ethiopia's different regions. From the Yod Abyssinia we leave for the airport for a departure on Wednesday 27 November, departing 0030.

Kyle Richards teased fans of the upcoming ninth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in a recent Instagram post.
On January 16, All About the Real Housewives shared details of the longtime reality star's posting with their readers, revealing Richards included a message to "buckle up."
"Who's ready for season 9? #cominginhot, #buckleup, #saveyourducklipscomments, #alsokissyfacecomments," she wrote in her post.
As fans have likely heard over the past several months, Richards and the rest of the cast — including Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna, Lisa Vanderpump, and Camille Grammer — are said to be completely estranged from Lisa Vanderpump, who has been starring on the show with Richards since Season 1.
Although not a lot is known about the feud between Vanderpump and the other ladies, Vanderpump has been open with the fact that she wasn't in the best place when filming began. This is due to the loss of her brother, Mark Vanderpump, who died of an apparent drug overdose in May of last year.
While there is sure to be plenty of drama between Vanderpump and the other women throughout The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 9, producers have also thrown Brandi Glanville into the mix, which is sure to add even more tension.
During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Richards addressed the return of her former co-star and longtime nemesis.
"Well she's unpredictable so you don't know what's going to happen," Richards said of Glanville.
She then added, "This whole season's basically lies. Well, there's a lot of lies going on this season."
Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump's friendship was one that fans looked forward to seeing each season on the show — but unfortunately, viewers of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills may have seen the last of their relationship.
While Richards has been vocal about the fact that she's attempted to make amends with Vanderpump following their Season 9 feud, it doesn't seem that she's had any luck. The two women have not been seen together in several months.
"I love Lisa. I miss her. Just because we argue sometimes and disagree on some things, I consider her a very close friend of mine and I always wanted to do the show with her and I look forward to when things hopefully turn around again," Richards told Hollywood Life at the end of last year.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 9 premieres on Tuesday, February 12. The show airs at 9 p.m. on Bravo TV.

'Pitch Perfect 2' Clips Bring Fierce Rivalry and a Very Sad Version of 'Cups'
Pitch Perfect 2 is expanding the quirky realm of a capella competition, as the Bellas prepare to face off against rivals from around the world. We get to meet some of these new competitors (zee Germans) in the new clip above, and yeah, they're pretty fierce (and funny). Universal has released an additional clip as well, but that one's a bit more somber, and features a totally bummer version of "Cups."
That's Birgitte Hjort Sorensen as the shady singer from the German group — you may recognize her from Danish crime series Borgen or from the recent sci-fi flick Automata. In that clip, the Bellas are confronted by their snobby rivals, and many sassy quips are exchanged. Kind of. The Bellas are awkward, as usual.
In the below clip, Anna Kendrick's Beca prepares to say goodbye to the group, and they all participate in a downbeat version of the "Cups" song she impressed them with in the first film.
Kendrick is joined by returning cast members Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Hana Mae Lee, Skylar Astin and Adam DeVine, along with newcomers Hailee Steinfeld and Katey Sagal. Elizabeth Banks is also back, pulling double-duty as the director of the sequel.
Pitch Perfect 2 arrives in theaters on May 15.

Yes, that is actually the question. You see, I have issues with most deodorants. Rashes, fungal infections, or they just don't work. Icky, huh?
But then I found this book:
and I made my own deodorant. Really. I did. Project #38. It took about 10 minutes, not including cooling time.
The ingredients are olive oil, organic beeswax, tea tree oil, rosemary essential oil, lavender essential oil (optional) and a stick-type deodorant applicator. I just happened to have a dead one of those, so the timing was pretty fortuitous. I will get me the lavender oil for the next batch. The process involves heating things together over a double-boiler (or use a pyrex measuring cup like I did), adding the oils, pouring and cooling. Because of copyright issues, you'll have to check out the book for full instructions.
It seems to be working, so far. I've only tried it once. I do smell hippy-dippy, but I think that's because I put too much tea tree oil in it, but I don't mind smelling hippy-dippy. Had I put in more rosemary or even the optional lavender, it would have been different. I'll wear it again tomorrow.
Let me know if I stink in a bad way, would ya?
Expect more posts with experiments from this book. Next up is the Peppermint-Rosemary Shampoo Bar once I find a glass blender (mine is tiny and plastic) since one has to use lye in the making of the recipe.

With a median household income of over $190,000 and a median net worth of $900,000, Ivy League graduates are an influential demographic that ought to be appealing to various marketers. Yet assuming "Ivies" are prosaic and entrenched in their fiefdoms is somewhat wrongheaded, particularly when data reveals the opposite.
Ivy League graduates' lifestyles are in many respects as dynamic and pioneering as those of Millennials. This is what qSample presents with its latest infographic, based on its EDU Intelligence series that can be found in The Growing Idealism of Ivy League Graduates.
Ivy League graduates enjoy new and unknown travel destinations, experimenting with cutting-edge medicine, and intimately giving back to the community. And more.
