A mattifying and purifying sunscreen with SPF50 for fragilized combination to oily skin after drying acne treatments.
This is the best sunscreen for skin with impurities that I have used so far. I have seriously tried everything already from Eucerin, Avène, Vichy, La Roche Posay, Lancaster etc and they all make it worse. I just started living with avoiding the sun until I tried this fluid out in Germany. I love this producht! Sadly I couldn't find it in my country so I was really happy to have found you carry this online. The cream is a light fluid that sinks in very fast and doesn't feel greasy, nor does it give me that white cast. If I apply this frequently my skin does become smoother, it doesn't cause me to break out or get any irritation either. The product even has quite a pleasant fresh scent. Highly recommended!!!
It's the perfect cream for my face. I bought 2 because I am inlove with it. It makes my face to adapt to all types of conditions. All of its characteristics are good for me.

Charles Darwin's studies of heredity, adaptation and evolution included many experiments into the effects of crossbreeding and inbreeding in both plants and animals. Such consanguineous pairing often resulted in weaker, more sickly descendants.
Ironically, his own lineage and marriage could have been experiments as well. At the age of 29, he proposed to his first cousin, Emma Wedgwood, the daughter of his mother's brother. Darwin realized the dangers of inbreeding and wondered if his close genetic relation to his wife had had an ill impact on his children's health, three (of 10) of whom died before the age of 11. In a letter to friend, Darwin noted his concern for his children, writing that "they are not very robust."
Darwin's marriage to his cousin was not the only mixing of blood in the two lines. The Darwin-Wedgwood family in fact had several instances of close family matches, and a new analysis, published online May 3 in the journal BioScience, shows that some of Darwin's concerns about his offspring's health might have been valid.
The analysis, led by Tim Berra, professor emeritus in the Department of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology at the Ohio State University in Mansfield, found that Darwin's kids did have "a moderate level of inbreeding" and in the family's children, there was "a significant positive association between child mortality and inbreeding."
When two individuals mate, genetic material from both parents is passed on to the progeny. So even if one parent carries a harmful recessive trait, the other parent is likely to have a healthier version, which will manifest itself in the offspring. If both parents, however, carry a recessive allele—which is more likely to happen if they share much of their genetic material, as close relatives do—then they raise the chances that their child will have only the bad genes.
Berra and his colleagues' assessment of 25 nuclear families across four generations of Darwins and Wedgwoods found a slightly lower-than-average child mortality rate compared with the general population of the time. But in those nuclear families with higher levels of inbreeding, offspring had an estimated 5.4 percent reduction in fitness. And the autosomal genomes of Charles Darwin's children were likely more than 6 percent identical (that is, homozygous). That number represents about four times the amount of overlap than children of second cousins would be expected to have.
Although none of Darwin's children had obvious documented physical or mental deformities, the three who died appear to have suffered from infectious disease, which is more likely to be contracted in those with higher levels of inbreeding, Berra and his colleagues noted. One died at 23 days old, and another, who was not developing normally, died at 18 months. The third likely died of tuberculosis, for which inbreeding increases the contraction risk.
Many famous and powerful families have been renowned for their pairing of close relatives, including the Hapsburgs and some ancient Egyptian pharaohs, and marrying relatives—both close and distant—was in general more common historically when groups were smaller and more isolated. But by Darwin's time it was already assumed that "consanguineous marriages lead to deafness & dumbness, blindness [etc.]," Darwin wrote in a letter to parliamentarian John Lubbock in 1870. Darwin had been hoping the government could accumulate broad population-based data about the frequency of cousins marrying and the health of their offspring, and he requested questions to this effect be included in England's census.
Darwin's request was denied, but his concern lives on today. More than half of the states in the U.S. have explicit limits on first-cousin marriages.

Yesterday was the closest I’ve come to being killed for a very long time. Driving back from a lovely trip to Kitchener, Canada (more on that in a moment), Lo. and I hit a patch of black ice in the road, just at a point when the wind was blowing hard enough to knock us and the cars in front of and behind us into a spin – the car in front of us spun off the road, I turned to go around him and the car spun across the road, did 180 degrees and we ended up on the central reservation facing the wrong way with more cars and SUVs spinning off the road around us. The spin itself was scary, but we didn’t hit anything, and the central reservation brought us to a fairly quick halt. However, the feeling of watching other cars spin, knowing that if one of them came in your direction it would very possibly kill you – given that we were facing the direction they were coming, so it would’ve effectively been a head-on collision – is quite the most gut churningly horrible feeling I’ve had for a very very long time.
And after that, when the road cleared a little and we’d got turned round and on our way again, the next 50 miles back to where we’re staying was the most stressful nastiest drive of my life, every little movement of the car felt like we were going to spin again, every bridge felt like it was covered in ice, and on a couple of occasions we did slide a little, and my stomach knotted even further. I’ve never ever been so happy to step out of a car as I was when we got back.
The reason we were in Kitchener in the first place was to go to a gig by Rob Szabo and Steve Strongman, two fantastic singer/songwriters, with very different but complimentary styles. They traded songs off one another, backed eachother up, and generally made a fantastic singer-songwriter-y noise for a couple of hours. Marvellous marvellous music. Definitely worth checking out both of them.
Anyway, happy christmas, bloglings, thanks for bothering to read this stuff through the year, I hope it’s been entertaining and informative. Here’s to a blogalicious, gigtastic 2008!
Happy Christmas and glad you’re not dead!
VERY glad you’re ok my darlings.

Green tea had found its origin in China and India and is made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis. The leaves undergo minimal oxidation during processing. Lately green tea has gained popularity amongst the masses in U.S and has replaced the widely consumed black tea. The benefit of green tea lies in the fact that it is made by a method in which the leaves are least processed. The most beneficial antioxidants and polyphenols have been retained in the green tea. The hot beverage is one of the healthiest and zero calorie drink.
Green tea is known to reduce the risk of cancer in the body.
It is known to lower the blood cholesterol levels and preventing the heart diseases.
The visible signs of ageing are prevented by the green tea.
The green tea helps to lose weight and can burn 70 calories every day.
Lemon tea is a perfect blend offering the benefits of tea and lemon. The drink offers a complete refreshing experience after having it. It is one of the best coolants in the summers. Even children love to drink lemon tea. It tastes best when it is served chilled.
The first and foremost advantage of this yummy drink is that it provides a cleansing effect in the body. The effects are quite clearly visible on the face and the skin.
It helps to keep an individual fresh and active. With the perfect blend of lemon and tea the toxins are flushed out of the body. This helps to reduce the stress levels of an individual.
Since age’s lemon has been known for its antiseptic properties, thus it helps to prevent various infections in the body and keep an individual disease free.
The basic difference lies in the method of preparation where in the green and lemon tea are prepared without the milk and milk tea’s major ingredient is milk. With years of research scientists have found that the addition of milk into the tea lowers its benefits. The cause that has been discovered is the group of proteins called as casein, which are present in milk. These caseins tend to decrease the potency of catechin- the natural flavonoid in the tea. Catechins have been shown to play a major role in prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
All the tea lovers pamper your taste buds with the healthy green and lemon tea and have a healthy heart and life.

RIEGL Airborne Laser Scanners with full waveform capability digitize the waveform of the echo signal for every emitted laser pulse.
RiANALYZE applies the so-called Full Waveform Analysis to the digitized echo signals provided by the laser scanner and additionally transforms the geometry data (i.e., range and scan angle) into Cartesian coordinates. Thus RiANALYZE converts the digitized echo signal data to data compatible with conventional airborne laser data processing packages for further processing.
The output is a point cloud in the well-defined Scanner's Own Coordinate System (SOCS) with additional descriptors for every point, e.g., a precise time stamp, the echo signal intensity, the echo pulse width, a classification according to first, second, up to last target.
Additionally, RiANALYZE is smoothly integrated into the project-oriented processing software RiPROCESS via the application RiSERVER.

New College Admissions Study Explores the Importance of Social Media in College Recruiting.
The skyrocketing use of online social media has now extended to college admission offices, with 62% of colleges planning to dedicate more resources to social media, according to a study released Monday by Cappex.com. In addition, nearly half (47%) of college admission departments view social media as important or critically important in their recruitment efforts.
The 2010 Social Media and College Admissions study was conducted in January by Cappex.com, a college search website, and polled 170 college admission officials in both public and private institutions ranging from 56 to 40,000 undergraduates. The study revealed six key findings relevant to colleges currently using or considering social media in student recruitment.
While use of social media in admissions is on the rise, it has not yet surpassed traditional recruiting methods. College fairs and traditional student search mailings continue to take priority in recruitment efforts, the study reported.
Facebook emerged from the study as the social media tool most frequently used by admission offices, with 66% using it on a regular basis. Most admission offices gravitate toward Facebook fan pages because of the site’s overwhelming popularity among prospective students.
Cappex.com is a comprehensive college search and scholarship portal that helps students and parents make college decisions. In addition to college profiles with student reviews and college admission prediction tools like the ‘’What Are My Chances?® Calculator’’ Cappex.com allows parents and students to search $11 billion dollars in merit scholarships offered by thousands of colleges across the U.S. With nearly 2 million cumulative student users, Cappex.com is the trusted source to help students find their ideal college fit.

Assemble salad with whatever mix of greens you like best. Top with other ingredients. To make the dressing, in a small bowl add the vinegar, dijon, cumin, salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously and slowly add the olive oil while whisking.
If you are not serving the salad immediately, cover it with a damp kitchen towel and refrigerate until ready to serve. Always add the avocados right before serving. Enjoy!

Universities for Spanish translators (perhaps Puerto Rico)?
I posted earlier to find a school in South America. I wanted to go to South America yet the education is in Spanish which causes me to miss out on the (Spanish) grammar and culture classes! Puerto Rico is technically US and therefore has an option to major in Spanish translation (as opposed to English translation). I could simply go somewhere in the US, yet it would be ideal to study in a Spanish speaking country, of course! Any ideas?
Hi Rhio! Do you mean that you are a native English speaker and wish to translate from Spanish to English? That's my case, and my MA is from the University of Puerto Rico. The Graduate Program in Translation offers three language pairs, AFAIK: English to Spanish, Spanish to English, and French to Spanish (though French to English is also possible). Six hours of Composition (in Spanish) and six of Advanced Spanish Syntax are requirements for the degree.
Most of the courses are taught in Spanish, though many are taught in English and a few in French--each professor teaches in his or her native language. (I teach a Spanish-to-English seminar, but not every semester.) You pretty much have to know Spanish and English to study there; other languages are optional.
If you're interested, call for more details, or visit UPR's website. The phone number for the PGT (Programa Graduado en Traducción) is 787 764-0000, ext. 2047, and the current director, Dra. Aurora Lauzardo, is perfectly at ease in English or Spanish.
Of course, you could take more Spanish grammar and other courses in other departments of the University--but most would be taught in Spanish. If you're young and single, I would recommend living in a dorm or "hospedaje." You'd get plenty of cultural education there!
that's exactly the scool I was looking at! thank you so much (: i would say i speak spanish very well yet as I mentioned I can't miss out on the culture and grammar classes! and yes, I am a native English speaker from California. and of course, is there only a graduate program there??

fingerprints collected from the crime scene, or from parts of the evidence from the crime, can be used in forensic science to identify suspects, victims and others who touched the surface in question. Fingerprint identification emerged as an important system in the various police agencies in the late 19th century. This system replaced anthropometric measurements reliable method to identify individuals who have previously met, often under the alias name, the criminal record repository. Science fingerprint identification stands out among all the other forensic science for many reasons because of its superiority and reliability.
Worldwide, Fingerprinting has served all governments in the past 100 years to provide accurate identification of criminals. No two fingerprints have ever been found as a billion people and automated computer comparisons. Fingerprints have become very basis for criminal history foundation of virtually every police agency.
first forensic professional organization, International Association for Identification (IAI), was founded in 1915. It established the first professional certification program for forensic scientists, IAI’s Certified Latent Print Examiner program in 1977, the issue of certification that meeting strict criteria and withdraw certification for serious errors such as false identities.
Fingerprints remain the most commonly used forensic evidence worldwide. In most countries, a fingerprint test cases, more than any other forensic examination casework combined. It continues to expand as the first method to identify individuals, with tens of thousands of individuals added to fingerprint repositories daily in America alone – far outdistancing similar databases in growth. Fingerprinting has outperformed DNA and all other forms of human identification to find more murderers, rapists and other serious offenders (fingerprints solve ten times more uncertainties suspicious case the DNA in most jurisdictions).
Although some journalists and authors argue that the fingerprints have long enjoyed the mystique of infallibility, the opposite is true. Fingerprint identification was the first forensic discipline in 1977 to formally launch a professional certification program for individual experts, including the procedure for decertifying then do some investigative errors. Other forensic science then later followed to course offerings where certificates could revoked for any errors found.
Fingerprint identification lead to a much more positive identification of individuals worldwide daily than any other human identification procedure. The American federal government a decisive influence positive identification of 70,000 people. A large part of identifications, about 92% of US Visit identifications, the effect of light out, no one involved computer recognition process with 100% accuracy based on only two fingerprints.

It’s what we all strive for, it will haunt you in your sleep, and it’s the most coveted prize to receive on campus. I am talking about the intramural championship t-shirt.
The joke that travels around campus for those who are avid participants in intramurals is that you can only graduate until after you win an intramural championship t-shirt. Campus Recreation does a fantastic job of organizing intramural events and breaks the year up into fall sports, winter sports, and spring sports. They also throw a bunch of different one-day tournaments, which always draw some big crowds.
Campus Rec. also splits up the type of league you want to enter in, whether its women’s, Co-Ed, or men’s, and you would either pick to enter the recreational league or the competitive league. The kicker however comes in the form of you can only win a t-shirt if you compete in the competitive league.
I have been very fortunate enough to win my fair share of championship t-shirts, however I have also been on the receiving end of the pure heartbreak of letting one slip through my fingers. I’m not going to lie it’s absolutely devastating when you lose, like you are going to be bitter for a solid week… well I was bitter for a solid week. I have competed in both the women’s and Co-Ed competitive league sports and have met my best friends and also worst enemies (cough Rhonda’s Angels) being involved in theses leagues.
To be honest there is something a lot more gratifying in my eyes when you win a Co-Ed championship. The reason I say this is because all the men and women on the team need each other, you can’t win strictly on how good either your guys or your girls are but whether how well you all work together as a team. That’s the flaw in a lot of the Co-Ed teams because they fail to balance out the talent in one gender or the other.
Intramural sports are universal and timeless. My dad went to Oswego as well and when I told him I won my first ever intramural championship my freshman year he sent me a picture of him and his team winning in the same sport his freshman year. It built an even stronger bond between my dad and I, knowing that we both accomplished the same sport, at the same age, on the same field, at the same school.
Overall what I am trying to get across is that if you never participate in an intramural sport in college did you really go to college? But all jokes aside campus rec. provides this incredible opportunity to compete against your fellow students, earn the best bragging rights, and most importantly look good in that t-shirt.
It’s rare in life to come across a moment where you experience the overwhelming feeling of knowing you were meant to be somewhere. Whether it’s walking on your college campus the first time, or falling in love with a summer job, these moments can happen at anytime and often can take you by surprise.
I recently just came back from Los Angeles California as part of the Hollywood POV Program put on by SUNY Oswego. It’s a competitive program where only 12 students were chosen from the entire undergraduate and graduate program to be flown out to L.A for 12 days. Each day was jam-packed with meetings with producers, directors, creators, production crew, showrunners, and corporate at various studios such as Warner Bros., Disney, Nickelodeon, Authentic Entertainment, Original Productions, BBC Productions, L.A Studios, The Academy and so much more.
Each new day allowed us to be immersed in a new aspect of the entertainment industry and get hands on experience. It was basically like a 12-day job interview that allowed you to brush elbows with some of the industry’s best and showcase your talent. I left L.A not only confident in the career connections I made but also left with new friends that would be more than willing to let me bum it on their couches for a couple days if need be.
I got to experience life in a way that I have only dreamed about. Yes it was absolutely exhausting work, but each day I woke up excited about the things we would get to do and the people we would meet. I got to live out every child’s day-home-from-school-sick dream and have VIP access to the taping of “The Price Is Right,” I got to listen to the adventures unscripted producers and camera operators have gone on across the world, I got to watch the comedic geniuses of Allison Janney and Anna Farris at work on the set of Chuck Lorre’s “Mom” and hang out with the cast and crew after the show, I got to sit down in front of a development team and pitch my own television show and get professional feedback. All of these experiences only reinforced my dream of working in this industry.
Going into my senior year I was confused and scared about all the uncertainty surrounding my life. But when I was walking the streets in L.A., I was overcome with the feeling that this is where I need to be. The reality of being back out in L.A within the next year and half is terrifying, especially for this east coast, upstate New Yorker. However if I learned anything on this trip is that you need to take risks in life. You need to have the confidence within yourself and your abilities to go after your dreams. In L.A. I was told, “In life you should never waste a second doing what you don’t love.” I intend on following that.
When it comes to preforming, the food that we put in our bodies makes all the difference in how well we will be able to compete. As athletes we can’t be like Popeye the Sailor and just eat spinach before a game, have mega-strength and destroy our opponents… I’ve tried.
Any athlete will tell you that practice makes perfect, and the same thing can be said about training your body to eat right. By minimizing the bad (yet oh so good) food from your diet, it will allow your body to understand what healthy foods help you preform better. Having the right food in your system will not only make you a healthier individual but it will also improve your performance out on the field.
SUNY Oswego is always promoting a healthier way of living, especially when it comes to what you eat in the dining halls. However the choice to eat the right things as an athlete falls solely on you. You have to make the conscious decision of doing what it takes to become a better athlete. So put down the extra slice of pizza and step away from the ice cream bar, and here are some helpful hints about eating right.
It really shouldn’t be called “Freshman 15” in reality it should be called “Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior 15.” When it comes to eating in the dining halls it becomes a social event. Even when you are not hungry you still go to the dinning hall because that is where all your friends are. And when all of your friends are eating food around you its hard not to want to get a plate for yourself.
I am not discouraging you to go to the dining hall, in fact some of the best new food concoctions are invented in the dining hall, I am just encouraging you to grab some fruit, or make a salad instead of eating another full meal.
Looking at the dining menu online before eating can help with making the right choices about what to eat. If you look at the menu only it will show you what is being served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and what foods are heart healthy, vegetarian, and vegan.
Also the dining menu online offers MyPlate. MyPlate is where you can pick foods from the menu that you want to eat and then it will calculate all the total nutrients (good and bad) you are receiving from that specific meal. By being able to visually see how the foods are helping or hurting your body it will make deciding what healthy food to eat easier.
Eating healthier can change your game, imagine what it can do to an entire team. That being said take the initiative to circle the wagons with your teammates. Trying to eat healthy as a group is a lot easier than trying to eat healthy on your own.
I know for our team we have a sweet tooth for ice cream and Cooper Dining Hall has its own creamery. So after a lot of our meals we would go get ice cream afterwards and not think twice about it. It wasn’t until when we were in season that we were seeing the effect all this ice cream was having on us. So instead of just cutting out all junk food we decided that once a week in season we would go for ice cream. We were all in it together and it made things a lot easier. It’s okay to eat junk food as long as you manage how much you eat of it.

Given the technology available to use today anybody can get into film making - whether they are simply aiming to have some fun or to try and make a career. Nowadays you can make short films on digital video cameras and you can even use your computer to edit films with the right software in place.
If you are thinking about making a film then you may find it easiest to firstly think about what you are going to film. This will usually involve writing a script or at the very least mapping out what will happen in the film and how and when you will film it and in what order. If you are making your own short film for fun you may then simply recruit friends and family to perform the script and you're ready to go.
If you are keen to make a professional film then you will need a budget. Some people will raise money here from friends and family or their own savings whilst others will approach industry professionals in the hope of raising finance. If you are lucky enough to get some form of backing for your film then make sure to work out your budget carefully. You may, for example, need to pay a cast and crew for their work and to feed them and transport them around and you will need all the right equipment and insurance. Once the film is made and edited then you will also need to consider marketing costs.
Many people looking to break into the industry will submit their films to competitions or independent festivals and showcases and this can be a good way of getting recognition in this field.

This is our Decoration Service. There will be no Sunday School.
They are dedicated to “Sharing the Gospel in Song.” In fact, this has been the motto since the group was formed in 1993. Each member has a burning desire to see the lost saved and to see the hurting encouraged. In these troubling and unstable times we truly believe in the message of an unchanging God. The same God who loved us enough to send us His son still has the same love for us today.

Ubisoft Forums > For Honor > General Discussion > Shugoki Nerfed again?
View Full Version : Shugoki Nerfed again?
I can't post the video. But infinite on YouTube has a video labeled "Shugoki Nerf, ubisoft what are you doing." It states that shugokis stamina was Nerfed.
That's the classic pre-rework nerf.
Same like Conq got by removing his super block.
Maybe they just did it to try something out ... glad tidings ahead.
How long was the time period between concs pre-rework Nerf and his rework?
Is that from jesus's sermon on the mount?

This paper discusses how international donors can promote the development of transboundary water management. It assumes, first, that cooperation will take place whenever the major stakeholders consider cooperation to be a better option than non-cooperation. The perceptions and motivations of the stakeholders are therefore crucial. Secondly, this paper assumes that the major stakeholders are not “states”, but specific groups and individuals: individual politicians, sectoral government bureaucracies, regional and local governments, farmers, electricity companies, etc. Some of these may be involved in the international negotiations themselves, others may be needed to get international Agreements ratified or implemented, and still others may be affected by transboundary water Management but lack the means to exert any influence.
The role of international donors in transboundary water management is limited, but can still be significant.
— provide continuing support after conclusion of an agreement.

It has been 168 hours since my phone died. I have no access to contacts, messages or pictures.
My phone decided to enter the vortex of restarting itself last Thursday and hasn’t really stopped. We’ve tried to recover the pictures. A friend of mine has tried to reboot it. We even put it in the fridge, as he thinks it is overheating, but no luck. It’s broken.
My pictures are gone. I think they are pictures from the last few months, but I can’t be too sure. I know it’s been a while since I last downloaded anything.
I’m mad at myself for that.
I will admit it was sort of nice not always having it with me. It was sort of freeing.
But I hated not being reachable.
I have lists and ideas on my phone. I’m always making myself notes and reminders. I hate not having those.
D asked me the other day if we had plans or appointments this week, and I couldn’t answer him. I don’t know. It was all on my phone! I told him if it wasn’t on the calendar in the kitchen, than it wasn’t happening.
I wanted to call my sister-in-law the other day, and I don’t actually know her phone number. She’s a favourite person on my phone, but I couldn’t reach her if I tried without it.
I missed some important emails and had to change the method of RSVPs for the Little Bird’s birthday party. It’s hard to live without this technology now. I feel that we’ve become accustomed to having it with us.
Even though I grew up without it, (and thank G*d for that), now it really does help me stay organized and on top of my schedules and the schedules of my kids.
So since the phone is officially dead, I am getting a new one. And now I have the fun task of reentering all the details of my life back into it.
I’m happy to have these 168 hours behind me, but I will take the lesson to download the hundreds of pictures this mama-razzi takes!

You will find much announcement featured in the national media broadcasters about courtroom discrimination, and there are various laws forbidding it. However, very few people can admit witnessing discrimination in the court, outside newspaper and Tv reports. Because of this explanation, the issues of court elegance are dismissed with disbelief and the idea that those people who have knowledge courtroom discrimination are utilizing the explanation or battle to acquire ahead. However, this is far from the truth, with racial and cultural discrimination, stereotyping included, happens more often in the courtrooms and the justice system as a whole. In an effort to understand the whole issue of courtroom discrimination, you need to consider the following things.
It’s wise to look at social bias and past programming like a doorway for courtroom discrimination. According to renown lawyers in the field of law, most judges who are guilty of court discrimination are not aware of that they are bending the law. Obviously, they’ve been conditioned to consider in a certain way concerning the low-class people in the society. In the past couple of years, elegance was the order of the afternoon, it thus, is quite feasible to possess many people together with the same way of thinking as the individuals of that technology. In most cases, the cases of racial unfairness as well as other types of elegance while in the court room can be as due to the childhood of the judge.
Occasionally, there’s justification of discrimination by quoting cultural tendencies and statistics that simply help discrimination. Many discriminators will not think of themselves as racists, despite the fact that they might be very unfair and harsh to any person of color or those not in a position to pay fines and any other court fee. They hold a thought that if the people aren’t extensively punished, then they will not understand their session. This is even worsened by popular rhetoric’s like, since most crimes are committed by minorities, we have a right to stereotype them. This forms of viewpoint fuels discrimination, equally in the courtroom and out from the courtroom. It is incredibly sad these sort of cases will never be seen or reviewed because those discriminated tend to be afflicted by tough treatment.
The fact the previous generation might still be in power and might play a big part in propagating discrimination against a given class of individuals. The older technology might have been used-to the idea of segregation within regulations, thus exercise it as a means of living. This therefore, means that it might take longer than perceived to achieve low levels of discrimination.

Human growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, is produced in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. This hormone plays an important role in growth, metabolism, and maintenance of body fat, muscle and bone.
~ Have greater cardiac output.
As can be expected, anti aging therapy based on human growth hormone supplements has been popular for sometime now.
One very effective way of taking supplements is through hGH injections. The rich and famous have long been able to maintain their youthful IGF-1 levels through hGH injections.
by-pass your pituitary and send these products directly to your liver. The disadvantage here is that your pituitary could become lazy and stop working, so many doctors suggest taking injections for pre-determined periods only.
A second method is by the use of what is called "pre-cursors". Precursors are directed at stimulating the release of more hGH. Such products are priced from about $30 to $120.
Strangely, the activity of the chemicals we call 'releasers', seems to have been known to the Tibetan Lamas in ancient times, and forms the basis of the Tibetan rejuvenation yoga and anti aging technique. They seem to have known, 4000 years ago, which yoga postures would cause the body to secrete the releasers, and so induce the growth hormones to flow.
Growth hormone supplementation is also a widely used strategy.

The population size is unknown, but the species is described as common to fairly common throughout much of its range (del Hoyo et al. 2006).
This species occurs across the Indian subcontinent and South-East Asia.
This species inhabits deciduous woodland, evergreen broadleaf forest, forest edge, secondary growth (including bamboo), wooded stands in coffee and tea estates and wooded gardens, from plains level to 1,200 m (locally to 1,800 m in Sri Lanka). It tends to be found in the canopy where it forages, often acrobatically, for arthropods, fruits and nectar (Wells 2005).
Some populations may be depressed by heavy harvesting for the cage-bird trade (Wells 2005).

Cedarwood Atlas Essential Oil (Cedrus atlantica) from Morocco is 100% Pure & Natural True Therapeutic Quality Essential Oil steam distilled from the wood of the Cedar Tree (Cedrus atlantica).
Cedarwood Atlas Essential Oil (Cedrus atlantica) from Morocco is Cultivated Therapeutic Quality Essential Oil steam distilled from the wood.
Cedarwood is native to the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and Morocco. The Atlas Cedar Tree is a large evergreen tree that can reach heights of over 150 feet. Its spreading branches have grey-green needles, and the extremely fragrant wood is resistant to rot. Our Therapeutic Quality Cedarwood is harvested from cultivated fields in Morocco, and then the essential oil is extracted from the wood by steam distillation.
Cedarwood Oil is thick, slightly sticky, and is yellow to deep amber in color. Cedarwood Essential Oil aroma: sweet, woody, balsamic undertones are accented with a top note that is warm and slightly sharp. This oil blends well with other essential oils that are woody and floral, such as clary sage, cypress, frankincense, juniper, ylang ylang, and bergamot.
In traditional Western aromatherapy, Cedarwood Atlas Essential Oil is considered an excellent lymphatic and has been used in formulas applied topically for cellulite and for weight loss related to the breakdown of fat. For the skin, cedar wood oil is used as an antiseptic against skin infections, as well as for eczema, dandruff, fungal infections, oily skin, acne and boils, dermatitis, and hair loss.
Cedarwood Atlas Oil has been used for urinary tract and vaginal infections, coughs, colds and flu, congestion, bronchitis, and for sluggish lymph systems. For issues of the nervous system and mental applications, cedar wood essential oil has been used for stress, anxiety, nervous tension, poor concentration, and for fear and anger.
For cystitis, it has been combined in a massage oil with lavender, eucalyptus, and thyme linalool and applied to the lower abdomen.
Long considered a sacred plant, Cedarwood has held a special place among the religions and medicines of many different cultures. The ancient Egyptians used it as part of the embalming process. In temple building, it was used by the Asians as well as by Solomon in the temple at Jerusalem. The Tibetans not only used it as medicine, but because of its intensely pleasing fragrance also used it as sacred incense, as did most of the ancient world.
I love this woodsy masculine scent and it goes well with vetiver, sandalwood, and patchoulli. I love it’s grounding properties that help me center my thoughts. If making any masculine products this is a must have.

I like to promote healthy eating on my site and sometimes I feel like a complete hypocrite because I really do not make the best choices when it comes to food. I find that convenience will always win out in the end. Of course I do practice a vegan lifestyle 95% of the time. I really have no problems with animal products if the source meets a certain criterion. So milk from hormone and antibiotic fed cows is completely out of the question. Cruelty is really the motivating factor in avoiding these products in the first place, however, after learning the truth about the quality of these products I honestly would not want to feed them to my family.
I realize that I am not alone on this issue. Parents are equally concerned as to the quality of food they are feeding their children. Because we all have busy lives its not always possible to feed our family a healthy diet, especially when we are away from home.
Kelly Lester; the designer of Easy Lunch Boxes, is a parent who desired to send her kids off to school with healthy lunches. Kelly also desired a waste free lunch box. Among its many accolades Easy Lunch Boxes was Named a "top 5 Eco-Friendly Mommy Must Have" by Parents Ask. Please note Easy Lunch Boxes are FDA approved and are free BPA, phthalates, lead, vinyl, or PVC. Also safe for dishwashers, freezers, and microwaves.
These kids lunch boxes are not just for kids. We all can certainly benefit from having healthy food choices on hand when away from home. Instead of reaching for those greasy, saturated fat endowed fries we can now have a healthy alternative at our convenience. Because this is completely safe for the microwave it's perfect for heating up leftovers at work.
Easy Lunch Boxes stack easily for unobtrusive storage and come in four different colors. You can purchase a set of four on their website for $13.95. The lunch boxes fit inside the storage totes that retail for $7.95, totaling $21.90. I think this is an incredible value!

At the time I shot this I only owned three cameras - the Ricoh GR1, Voigtländer Bessa R3A, and Lomo LC-Wide. With only three cameras to choose from and the impressive reputation of the GR1, I was surprised to find myself struggling to choose the Ricoh at the beginning of each day.
The Voigtländer R3A with all its buttons, knobs, build quality, and strong look felt like tinkering with an enigma machine. The Lomo LC-Wide was just plain silly simple with two focus setting and auto everything else, with my attached external viewfinder and it's center sharp 17mm lens it was a great gadget. Yes the lens of the Ricoh GR series is amazing but for me it just wasn't fun to shoot - an underwhelming experience.
After 7 months with it I decided to let it go and use the money for a plane ticket to New York. And before I could even post it you might guess what happened.. yes the Ricoh had seen enough of this world and decided it was time to go via a spontaneous unrepairable shutter jam. It was the catalyst for my learning to shoot without a meter and so that I may rely on mechanical only cameras. Now over a year later is was a decision I do not regret.

Ne poti contacta oricand pentru a clarifica eventuale nelamuriri. Nu uita sa mentionezi in corespondenta ta numele exact al produsul. Fotografia produsului Subwoofer Magnat Betasub 20 A are caracter informativ si poate sa difere de produsul real sau sa contina accesorii neincluse in pachetul standard al produsului. Specificatiile tehnice pot contine erori de operare si pot fi schimbate fara instiintare prealabila de catre producator, neconstituind obligativitate contractuala.
This, the smallest but still powerful Betasub model, is powered by a 140 watt high-performance power amplifier and covers a low-bass bandwidth that ranges from 200 to 25 Hz − which is infinitely adjustable between 200 and 50 Hz.
The downfire case design enables the subwoofer to deliver a bass that in relation to its external dimensions is very deep and powerful. The reason: the cone surface area has been fitted at a very small and precisely defined distance from the floor in the solid and low-resonance case. The driver is supported by the Airflex bass-reflex port that has been secured to the front of this bass powerhouse with five screws. The Betasub 20A is the ideal bass partner for a loudspeaker from Magnat´s Vector 200 series.

Standing accused of theft can be a serious situation with severe results. A theft conviction can damage your reputation for the rest of your life, in addition to resulting in heavy fines and extensive jail time. While any type of theft charges will not be taken lightly by prosecutors, theft itself is a more basic crime than its counterparts, burglary or robbery. A person must simply take property from another with the intent of never returning it in order to constitute theft.
Actions that qualify as theft vary greatly; for example, a person is committing theft if he or she steals a bicycle off the street or if he or she embezzles money from work. Theft-related charges and penalties vary and depend on the amount and type of property stolen. For example, if the property stolen was valued at $250 or less, an individual can be sentenced to a maximum of one year in jail. However, if property stolen exceeds $250, potential jail time can increase to as much as five years and fines of up to $25,000.
While these charges differ in level of aggression, being convicted of theft can change a person’s life forever. With this in mind, you should strongly consider contacting an experienced criminal defense attorney who will help develop a comprehensive legal strategy and protect your interests.
If you are facing a theft charge of any kind, contact Cape Cod criminal defense lawyer James Powderly. Our legal team will help craft an aggressive defense for your case, and we will fight to protect your rights throughout the legal process. To learn more about how we can help you, call us at (508) 343-0676 today.

There were echoes of Sebastian Vettel's late charge to the 2010 drivers' championship this year, with the final third of the season yielding an avalanche of points and a third world title.
But there was more than a late charge to Vettel's year. For better or worse, these were the 10 key events dictating the course of the Red Bull driver's 2012 campaign.

It is difficult to believe this was taken in Tucson. It has such a luxuriant feel to it, as if it is from a swamp and lake area down south. Beautiful photo.

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton just gave the first press conference of her still unannounced 2016 campaign for the White House.
And it came in the middle of an email controversy engulfing the press.
Last Monday, the New York Times revealed that Clinton exclusively used personal emails while she served as secretary of state. According to the Times, this may have violated federal guidelines and could have left crucial information vulnerable to hackers.
Clinton briefly addressed the controversy in a single tweet last week, but has otherwise not spoken out. Her Tuesday press conference was at the United Nations, where she just gave a speech on women's rights.
(2:58 p.m.): Clinton began the press conference by thanking the UN for its work on women's issues. "There has never been a better time in history to be born female," she said.
(3:01 p.m.): Clinton moved onto another topic: the letter Republican senators recently sent to Iran's leaders. "We must all must judge any final agreement on its merits, but the recent letter from Republican senators was out of step with the best traditions of American leadership. And one has to ask, what was the purpose of this letter?" she asked.
(3:03 p.m.): Clinton finally addressed the email controversy. She said she will take a "few questions" after her remarks.
"When I got to work as secretary of state, I opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the State Department," she said.
However, "looking back," Clinton admitted she should have used an official state.gov email account.
"It would have been better if I simply used a second email account," she said.
(3:05 p.m.): Clinton refused the first question she was asked and said her communications aide, Nick Merrill, would hand pick which reporters would be called upon. The first questioner praised Clinton's work at the UN and asked if the controversy was partially because Clinton is a women; she demurred.
(3:10 p.m.): Pressed on whether Clinton turned over all of the relevant emails to the State Department, Clinton claimed she did more than what was asked and only personal communications were excluded.
"I have no doubt that we did exactly what we should have done," she said.
(3:13 p.m.): Clinton insisted her personal email server was quite secure, despite reports suggesting otherwise.
"The system we used was set up for President Clinton's office," she said. "It had numerous safeguards. It was guarded on property guarded by the Secret Service and there were no security breaches."
(3:17 p.m.): Clinton further said she couldn't have left any state secrets vulnerable on her personal email server because she never emailed such information.
"I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material. So I'm certainly well aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material," she said.
(3:20 p.m.): Clinton ends the press conference.

Elinor, this eldest daughter, whose advice was so effectual, possessed a strength of understanding, and coolness of judgment, which qualified her, though only nineteen, to be the counsellor of her mother, and enabled her frequently to counteract, to the advantage of them all, that eagerness of mind in Mrs. Dashwood which must generally have led to imprudence. She had an excellent heart;- her disposition was affectionate, and her feelings were strong; but she knew how to govern them: it was a knowledge which her mother had yet to learn; and which one of her sisters had resolved never to be taught.
Meet the Dashwood sisters: Elinor is calm, rational, and reserved. Marianne is animated, emotional, and passionate. Yet both sisters are equally subject to the travails of love in Sense and Sensibility, Kate Hamill's high spirited, hilarious adaptation of the classic 1811 novel by Jane Austen.
Poster designed by Okanagan College Writing and Publishing student Jay Kennedy.
Originally from the farms and fields of upstate New York, Kate is a NYC-based actor/playwright.
In 2014, her adaptation of SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (in which she originated the role of Marianne) premiered off-Broadway with Bedlam, directed by Eric Tucker. SENSE AND SENSIBILITY was named "Top Ten Theater of 2014" by both Ben Brantley of the NY Times, and by the Huffington Post, which called it “the greatest stage adaptation of this novel in history.” SENSE AND SENSIBILITY was remounted off-Broadway in Jan 2016; Kate reprised her role. The remount was extended 4 times, running 265+ performances. It was nominated for BEST REVIVAL by the Drama League, 2 Lortels, and won the Off-Bway Alliance Award for BEST UNIQUE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE.
S&S had its regional debut at Dallas Theater Center in April 2015 (director Sarah Rasmussen). It is published by DPS, and opened the 2016/2017 seasons at both the Guthrie Theater and Folger Theater.
Additional playwriting credits: Kate's plays include VANITY FAIR, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, THE LITTLE FELLOW, LOVE POEM, and IN THE MINES (a folk musical). Short plays include: EMMA, SAMMY AND NEENEE, SHOTZ, CC/GG, and MAGICAL PRINCESS PRETTY PARTY.
IN THE MINES was a 2015 Sundance Theater Lab semi-finalist and selected for Theater Latte Da's NEXT festival; THE LITTLE FELLOW was a 2016 O'Neill semi-finalist. SENSE AND SENSIBILITY was selected to kick off Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival’s first-ever HVSF2 series by Artistic Director Davis McCallum; VANITY FAIR and PRIDE & PREJUDICE were part of the 2015/2016 HVSF2 series. EMMA (a play about Emma Goldman) was a finalist for the Red Bull Theater New Plays Festival, and THE LITTLE FELLOW was selected as part of Phoenix Theatre Ensemble’s 2014 First Stories Festival. Kate is a member of Oscar-nominee Jose Rivera's writing/development group.
Okanagan College Public AffairsJane Austen is coming to Okanagan College in March, via the College’s very own theatre troupe – the Red Dot Players – who are staging a popular new adaption of one of the author’s best known works.
Featuring a cast of veteran players and newcomers, and under the direction of OC English Professor Jeremy Beaulne, the curtain will rise on Sense and Sensibility for a four-night run from March 9-12 in the Lecture Theatre at the Kelowna campus.
The play follows the Dashwood Sisters, Elinor (played by Amy Williams) and Marianne (played by Zoë Sommerfeld), as they navigate travails of the head and the heart in Victorian era England.
Audience members can expect a fun and fast-paced look at Austen’s classic 1811 novel, thanks to a spirited new script by playwright Kate Hamill which has already been produced to acclaim on some of the world’s leading stages since it was published in early 2016.
The production marks Beaulne’s sixth time in the director’s chair for the Red Dot Players. He is also no stranger to the source material.
According to the director, one of the factors that makes the play a challenge to stage is one of the reasons it continues to excite audiences.
Ticketholders will be treated to sweeping hand painted vistas by local artist and OC employee Marie Bartlett. A series of immense canvases set the stage for the action and are intended to transport the audience to the English countryside. Actors will be outfitted in beautiful period costumes sewn by Christine Caumartin and OC employee Karen Tessier.
The Red Dot Players troupe was formed in 2010 and have produced six plays leading up to Sense and Sensibility: The Beaux' Stratagem (2011), Blithe Spirit (2012), Les Belles-Soeurs (2013), The Government Inspector (2014), The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon (2015), and A.K.A. Fangirl (2016). The troupe provides students and employees with an opportunity to contribute to the Okanagan’s bustling creative arts scene.
Tickets are available at Mosaic Books, the Okanagan College campus store and will also be available at the door ($18 for adults and $15 for students/seniors). Learn more on the Red Dot Players website www.reddotplayers.com/.
Marianne (Zoë Sommerfeld) and Elinor (Amy Williams).

I am sure all people start blogs for very different reasons. For me, my little corner of the Internet began life to replace a missing part. I had just immigrated to Canada from the UK and other than missing 3 prong plugs, Turkish Delights (oh, just thinking about them now......) and bisto instant gravy it was friends and family I missed the most. I had lost my shoulders to cry on, my sympathetic ears to whinge to, and my confidence boosters when I was convinced my bum looked big in this!
My blog has been a good friend and has become a great link between me and my family in the UK. If you have read any of my comments sections it's my Mum that big ups most of my posts- thanks Mum, your a star! My blog has changed it's face a few times but I really feel that it looks it's best now and I feel like I have found my blogging feet, so to speak.
I think as a new blogger it can be overwhelming. You see so many of your favourite blogs and you steal borrow ideas, themes, topics and styles. It's hard not to, when reading these blogs is probably what got you started. You feel you must start thrifting more, crafting more or wearing edgy outfits or doing crazy things you can take photos of for your next post. I don't feel the pressure to be anything other than myself now and it feels really good.
So my blogger self is a Mum who likes to cook, eat, make things, giggle lots and drink gin and tonic. Expect more of the same, I am here to stay, just as I am!
I would like to add that I have borrowed (not stolen, I promise) some amazing images for my blog design from A is for Ampersand. I enjoy reading her blog a lot, you might too, check it out.
Your blogs are ace Elyse. They always make me smile.As your Mum says "you should write a book". You would be great - tales of Liscoeese wouldn't include camping at Pilling and white undergarments by any chance !!!!
What did you do today darling?
Monday Meltdown- Just another bath!

Why is Congress ignoring Obama's attack on servicewomen?
On June 5, 2013, the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) approved legislation to address sexual harassment in the military. Yet what HASC failed to address is the far more important and potentially devastating issue of the Obama administration’s determination to put women in direct ground combat. When the Center for Military Readiness (CMR) asked senior Republican staffers why the organization's analysis, "Sound Policy for Women in Military," was ignored, the center was told leaders feared being labeled "anti-woman." In short, little political will exists to oppose Obama's new policies, which will endanger women and military integrity -- all for the sake of "diversity."
Last January, outgoing Secretary of State Leon Panetta lifted the 1994 Combat Exclusion Rule that had prohibited women from serving in frontline combat units. This paved the way for women to join elite units such as the Army Rangers and Navy SEALs. It also does not merely lift restrictions on women's integration in direct ground combat, but allows women to be assigned -- or forced -- into such situations. A compliance deadline was set for June 2016.
The need for increasing "inclusiveness" is belied by the reality that 88 percent of Navy jobs are open for women, as are 99 percent of jobs in the Air Force. And even though the goal is to open every job up to women, no matter how risky, the services were given the option of requesting an exception necessitating approval by the Secretary of Defense.
In the course of developing a timeline for total integration, the real and potentially devastating agenda behind this push was revealed. The services are developing new job-specific standards for combat units.
Those standards will be "gender neutral."
Robert Maginnis, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and West Point graduate, cut through the political facade erected by those two words in his book, "Deadly Consequences: How Cowards Are Pushing Women into Combat." In an interview with Time, Maginnis insisted that "Pentagon brass are kowtowing to their political masters and radical feminists to remove exemptions for women in ground combat in defiance of overwhelming scientific evidence and combat experience." He completely dismissed the Obama administration's contention that they won't lower standards to accommodate women in combat roles. As evidence, he cites the "diversity metrics" outlined in the 2011 Report of the Military Leadership Diversity Commission.
Maginnis is spot on. The report is a paean to diversity, asserting that "respect for diversity should be made an explicit core value of DoD [Department of Defenses] and the Services." Diversity necessitates "a fundamental shift in institutional." Toward that end, "diversity leadership must be assessed throughout careers and made, in both DoD and the Senate, a criterion for nomination and confirmation to the 3- and 4-star ranks." Furthermore, implementation requires "a deliberate strategy that ties the new diversity vision to desired outcomes via policies and metrics."
According to Maginnis, those desired outcomes must lead to a lowering of standards, due to the reality that there has to be a minimum number of women in combat units in order for the policy to be deemed a success. He notes this can only be accomplished by "gender norming," a euphemism for judging women by less demanding standards than their male counterparts.
The necessity for imposing diversity metrics/gender norming was revealed at a September 2011 briefing before the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Armed Services. A Marine colonel revealed the sobering statistics the diversity mavens are determined to ignore, noting that "on average, women have 47% lower lifting strength, 40% lower muscle strength, 20% lower aerobic capacity (important for endurance), and 26% slower road march speed." He further noted that "both female attrition/injury rates during entry level training and discharge (break) rates were twice those of men, and non-deployability rates were three times higher."
The CMR further reveals that 30 years of studies conducted by Great Britain and America, "have repeatedly confirmed physiological differences that would put women at a severe disadvantage in the combat arms," and that there is no study they can find indicating training can overcome such differences. Thus, the study concludes that attempting to train women like men will either lead to a lowering of standards, or high attrition rate among female trainees.
Yet the most ominous part of the study noted that if women do make it into combat units, "it can be expected that commanders will shift tasks from women to men to avoid attrition from non-battle injury. It is a matter of speculation whether such task shifting is tolerable in actual combat. Given the non-battle injury rate of Army women in Operation Iraqi Freedom, increasing the presence of women below the brigade level may result in even greater losses."
Remarkably, the push for women in combat largely ignores how the overwhelming majority of women currently in the service feel about the idea. A survey done last month by the Military Times revealed that only 13 percent of women desire a combat job, 9 percent aren't sure, and a whopping 77 percent do not want a combat job at all. Furthermore, one of the military's main rationales for the program, that career advancement necessitates combat experience, is untrue. As the CMR notes, "data going back decades indicates that women have been promoted at rates equal to or faster than men." CMR further notes that any data undermining the idea that women should be given career opportunities in the infantry "is simply being withheld from public view." Moreover, the process to implement the administration's plans to put women into direct combat is being deliberately stretched out to give Congress the false impression that the issue is being addressed objectively -- when nothing could be further from the truth.
Maginnis envisions the ultimate downside of women in combat, based on the reality that "a return to the draft is far more likely than most people realize." This is due to the "unsustainably high costs of an all-volunteer military" in a nation weighed down by $17 trillion of debt. "Lifting all combat exclusions for women virtually guarantees that the Supreme Court will declare male-only conscription unconstitutional," he explains, further noting that the direct consequence of such a ruling will be women "drafted and forced into ground combat roles" (italics mine).
CMR president Elaine Donnelly cut to the essence of the issue. "Are we willing to stand by silently while the Obama Administration ruins our military?" she asks. "If we do, future generations will wonder where we were when the culture of the finest military in the world was systematically burdened with social experiments that the administration plans to extend into the combat arms."
Those social experiments may be part of a far bigger agenda than the effort to put women in combat. If there is one institution in America that has remained largely resistant to the ever-increasing imposition of a progressive agenda, it is the military. In fact, it may be the last bastion of well-organized resistance to progressive hegemony. Yet with each new "experiment," the warrior culture that ought to dominate the nation's military is being systematically degraded to accommodate that agenda.
With regard to women in combat, it is an agenda destined to exact a price far greater than the nearly 150 military women who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan during the course of those wars. Yet for the Obama administration, higher numbers of dead and wounded women is a reasonable tradeoff. With all due respect to Gen. Dempsey, perhaps a conversation about that reality is far more important.

Nicola Sturgeon is to meet senior UK government politicians for the first time since accusing them of ripping up the devolution settlement. The first minister will hold talks with Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington in Guernsey.
Theresa May has been fighting to keep her Brexit plans on track despite a Cabinet row over proposals for the Irish border and a potential revolt in the Commons. The UK’s proposals for a “backstop” arrangement for the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland are to be published “shortly”, although Brexit Secretary David Davis understood to have concerns about some of the details.
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said there is still time to secure an agreement on vital Brexit legislation as UK Ministers were urged to come to Scotland to hear Holyrood’s concerns. The First Minister told MSPs the Scottish Government was continuing to press the UK Government to listen to the concerns of the Scottish Parliament over the EU Withdrawal Bill.
The marathon bill paving the way for Britain to leave the European Union passed a crucial stage in the House of Commons on Wednesday night. With support of 324 MPs, and the opposition of 295 MPs, a government majority of just 29, the bill for Exiting the EU aims to convert all European law into British law.
The British government is facing the threat of a defeat by rebel backbenchers when MPs vote on its flagship EU legislation. Led by the former Attorney General Dominic Grieve, the rebels want to insert a legal guarantee that MPs should get a vote on any final Brexit deal before it is finalized.
There will be no Brexit at all unless Theresa May is supported, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt warned saying it was not about a choice between this Brexit and that Brexit. He was speaking as leading Brexit campaigners issued demands for Mrs May before agreeing any payments to the EU, including ending the European court's jurisdiction the moment the UK leaves.
The two-day British Overseas Territories Joint Ministerial Council meeting in London ended on Wednesday with a communiqué underlining self determination, (plus commitment to counter hostile sovereignty claims), constitutional relationship, disaster recovery, --following the sweeping damages caused by hurricanes--, tax transparency and Brexit.
British Prime Minister Theresa May insisted on Wednesday there is still no agreement on the UK's Brexit bill despite reports British officials have committed up to £50bn to the EU. British newspapers reported on Tuesday that an agreement had been reached on the divorce bill and mentioned 50bn Euros.
The Brexit deal covering “withdrawal” issues will only hold if it is approved by MPs and peers in a new piece of legislation to put it into British law, David Davis has said. The Brexit Secretary announced a Withdrawal Agreement and Implementation Bill, which MPs will be able to amend, to cover areas such as citizens’ rights, the so-called divorce bill and a transition period.

Hi MHF, did they recommend anything for those side effects?
11/08/17 numerous nodules and lymph nodes throughout chest and abdomen. Stage IV.
HI Mrs Zig, We don't see the oncologist until next Tuesday. Previously, a lot of good lotion (Eucerin) and keeping hands out of water (no dishes!) was recommended. It hasn't gotten to the point that skin is peeling off so I don't think Dr. will reduce dose much if any. DH is on 3000 mg a day which is super high I think. If DH could keep stoma output more under control/thicker he'd be happier. Kaopectate helps, Imodium's a little strong.
Hi MHF sorry I’ve been MIA. Mr Ziggy is getting dry skin on his clinical trial drugs, and even though Acquafor is a pasty petroleum type substance, and messy this stuff also works really well. I’m going to try the Eucerin and see if that would be less messy.
Mrs Zig, Bag Balm has also been recommended. I've read that the active ingredient of Urea in whatever lotion is most useful.
DH's last dose of Xeloda was Tuesday, hands/feet all better by Friday but he developed diarrhea yesterday. He's switched from Kaopectate to Imodium every 4 hours to see if can get under control. If not, we'll ask for a prescription on Tuesday or maybe Onc will reduce dose. Always something! I made him some rice for lunch and he's napping now. Seriously wondering if going back to the pump might be better.

I had a prescription for lomotil which is a pill, and my oncologist also gave me questran which is a powder you can put in juice or water. It's a rx used for cholesterol but it also prevents diarrhea. This always worked for me. Just an FYI. I alternated immodium and lomotil every 3-4 hours if I was having issues. The key is only take it if you are having diarrhea as it can flip you into constipation. If you don't go in-between doses skip that dose. Good luck to your husband. I know the side effects never seem to stop.
WOOOO! CEA down to 30 after 2 rounds of the OX. Doc says keep going with the imodium as needed, keep an eye on the feet. He also gave permission to discontinue the last few days of the Xeloda if feet got really sore. Next CT scan in Jan 15th. It was a very long day, 10 hours, including driving time, dr time, and infusions. There was some mess up with the Zofran that didn't drip. But who cares, right?
Celebrating DH's birthday with lemon pound cake, presents, cards, and phone calls tonight.
Wow! MHF CEA down to 30! Reason to celebrate indeed! I hope he had a wonderful birthday and that upcoming scans will show regression. Maybe off the Xeloda his feet will improve! I’m thrilled for you guys!
Wow Melissa, such good news!
DH & I are enjoying your country this week, then back to France for Christmas.
I hope for you and everyone here - success with treatments and a Good Holiday!
A New Year - hoping for good news for all of us!
I believe we are a few who’s husbands have check-ups in January?! Keeping my fingers crossed for your DH tomorrow Mrs Zig.
Sending out good vibes for all of us with DH January scans...DH has CT and blood work tomorrow. Review results with onc on Tuesday except he usually posts them online early. Hoping scan shows stability or decrease in mets because CEA has come down a bit since re-starting the OX.
However, If bilirubin is up, we expect treatment to be delayed a week again like happened in October. Except, the on-call onc in late December said not to delay even tho' bilirubin was up to 2.9; regular onc delayed when it reached 2.2.
May ask to reduce Xeloda further. DH is down to 2500 mg a day from 3000 mg but the feet are still a problem as is the diarrhea. Bought some Eucerin lotion and Imodium helps.
& everyone not so active in this thread.
Sorry Mrs Zig that Mr Zig’s CT was not what you hoped for. But I have seen/read your thread and as I understand it he is still in the trial. Hoping with all my heart that it will be effective!
M - whishing the best for your DHs checkup tomorrow. I’m glad you are pleast with his CEA. Hubby has taken his blood tests and his CEA is still OK, but it has never been high. However his CA19-9 (that was high from start) has on this test gone up a bit.. to above the ref value. That is adding a bit to the normal scanxiety.. CT scan for him is Jan 18. We get the result the same day.
I just updated myself on your thread and want to send healing thoughts to You! It is hard and stressful at times being a caregiver. Please be kind to yourself.

Now that the Samsung Nexus S is a reality, CNET compares the specifications of the newest Google Android phone with the previous HTC Nexus One.
Google and Samsung announced today the availability of Android's latest worst-kept secret, the Nexus S. Though not officially positioned as such, the Nexus S is an update to the now-retired HTC Nexus One. Like its predecessor, the Nexus S offers the "pure Google" experience without a disruptive manufacturer skin. That means you'll get direct access to a full set of Google applications, and both versions of the phone, whether you buy it for $529 or $199 with a two-year T-Mobile contract, will be unlocked. Google may be pursuing a quieter product release strategy this time around, but it's clear the company hasn't abandoned the basic Nexus concept despite the first handset's stumbles.
Yet, the Nexus S also stands apart from the Nexus One. It's the first handset with "Gingerbread," the next version of the Android operating system, and it offers a number of feature improvements like a Super AMOLED display with a contour design, an NFC chip, and a second camera. Not everything sounds promising--the Nexus S lacks a memory card slot and support for T-Mobile's HSPA+ network--but we're excited to see it just the same. Look for a review this week.
* Though the Nexus S is compatible with AT&T's voice network, it supports the T-Mobile 3G data network only.

Happy Wednesday! I’ve never really been one to paint my nails a whole late – except lately I can’t seem to stop!!! I have been painting my own nails (shocker) every week with fun spring colors and really enjoying having nails that match my outfits and actually look put together. A little bit ago, I did a post on how to fake acrylic nails at home (read it here) but during my busy wedding season, I can’t really have long fake nails. So, I have been trying to keep them painted and professional without acrylics. Enter: my favorite nail polish brands and colors I’ve been wearing all spring long! Let’s dive into this.
Why Essie is great: I love Essie. This was my first “expensive” nail polish brand (meaning more than $3 a bottle). It has a very thin formula, which means it dried quickly and the layers don’t pile on top of each other. I find that MOST colors are very opaque, which is great because the more opaque the formula, the less layers you need to use and the less chance you will chip or smudge your polish. They have a HUGE variety of colors.
Which colors I LOVE for spring: Fiji, Pass Port-To-Sail, Bon Boy-Age, Perfect Mate, Go-Go Geisha, Spool Me Over, and Peak Show.
Why O.P.I. is great: O.P.I. is like one of the OG nail polish brands. My mom has had this brand forever growing up, I used to get it a lot when I’d get manicures with my grandma as a kid. I remember when I had a birthday party (or went to a birthday party? now I can’t remember) in elementary school, I got this BEAUTIFUL opal iridescent O.P.I. color. I wish I could find it today! But it’s honestly just a tried and true nail polish with endless color options and fabulous payoff. They now have their infinite shine collection which I am obsessed with.
Why ZOYA is great: I honestly didn’t expect to love ZOYA as much as I did. They’re a newer brand to my collection but they have one of the best nail polish brushes EVER. It’s so wide and flat so you can get the whole nail in one stroke. It’s GENIUS. It’s so much better than trying to brush a million strokes on your nail before it dries. It almost eliminates the chance of streaking some colors are prone to.
Why KL Polish is great: First of all, KL Polish is owned by one of my all-time favorite youtube beauty guru Kathleen Lights! She is FABULOUS and so I am always looking to support my fellow girl bosses. I honestly didn’t expect it to be so amazing but it honestly is. I am SO impressed with the lasting power. I can get up to 9 days in this polish which is so unheard of for me.
Which colors I LOVE for spring: The entire Ethereal Garden limited edition boxed set!!! Colors – Pinky, Gum Would Be Perfection, Dream Boy, Charmed, Miss Kensington, and Selene.
Why China Glaze is great: This is a polish I would use frequently when I would get my nails done at the salon. I only recently decided to look into it myself and see if I could purchase it outside of a salon setting. You totally can and it totally rocks. This has a nice brush too, and the colors last almost as long as KL Polish!! They have a fabulous color selection.
Which colors I LOVE for spring: Crushin’ On Blue, Temptation Carnation, Rainbow, Diva Bride, Go-Go Pink, Peachy Keen, Refresh Mint, and Lemon Fizz.
These colors are SO cute. I trust these brands so much and it just honestly takes practice when painting your own nails to get good at it. It’s taken me a long time to be able to get my left hand to look as good as my right, but now I can paint both hands no problem! A few months of constant practice really built my skill up.
Do YOU like to paint your nails at home? What are your favorite brands and colors? Let me know in the comments below!
I've never been big on doing my own nails but there's something undeniably stunning about a fresh coat. I am looking forward to the pastels and nudes of this season and just might bite the bullet and get my own done after all. Thanks for the inspo!

It was almost too easy! In less than 24 hours, we had flown to a faraway continent...in a different hemisphere...with the opposite season...and somehow misplaced an entire day along the way! We left home on December 17 and arrived on December 19, having crossed the International Date Line. Our "winter" vacation this year took us to the summer of Australia and New Zealand on a cruise aboard the Holland America ship, Statendam.
The trip from LAX was long, but not unpleasant. We stopped briefly in Aukland, New Zealand, and arrived...bedraggled and jet-lagged, but excited...in Sydney, Australia where we took the airport train into the city and emerged right in front one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world...the Sydney Opera House.
On our short walk to the hotel, I had my first encounter with the exotic birds of Australia...a group of large ibis in the little harbor park.
Our hotel, the Russell Hotel on St. George Street in "The Rocks", the old historic section of the city set on the shores of Circular Quay, could not have been a better location. We had views of the Opera House and the beautiful arching Harbour Bridge across the harbor, and discovered to our delight that we were a two-minute walk from the cruise ship terminal where we would join our ship the next afternoon.
We went out for a walk around the neighborhood and across the great Harbour Bridge that spans the harbor, getting wonderful views of downtown behind us and the pretty residential apartments on the other side of the bay.
(We had inquired about tours of the bridge which take you high along the upper spans, but discovered that they are terribly expensive. We were just as happy walking across.
Our neighborhood of The Rocks is a great little area, filled with cafes and tourist shops, which are staffed by the friendliest people. I fell in love with the Aussies right away. In every store, we were greeted enthusiastically and regaled with stories and laugher.
I can now say I've been to Australia, but looking at the map, I realized that we barely touched this fabulous island continent. Next time - and there WILL be a next time - I'm determined to explore this amazing place much more thoroughly. For a wonderfully enjoyable close up look at Australia, read Bill Bryson's hugely entertaining and educational book, In a Sunburned Country.
We slept remarkably well for the first night of a trip. We woke up around 6 a.m., but that was actually quite good, as it was 11 a.m. at home! Our hotel was funky and cute...an old restored hotel decorated with antiques. We had breakfast in the hotel dining room and enjoyed a visit with the waitress who, as a Serb, had fled Croatia several years ago. Australia, like America, has attracted immigrants from around the world.
The Circular Quay harbor ferry terminal was also conveniently close to the hotel so we caught the 8:45 ferry to Darling Harbour. It was an overcast morning, and quite windy on the ferry, but the temperature was mild, and we spent the short trip enjoying the views of the city and having a chat with a family who was originally from Australia but had spent the last six years living in Provence. The Sydney Harbor is beautiful and huge, with many inlets branching off from the main bay in every direction.
Darling Harbour, one of these many inlets in the bay, is a popular destination as it is the home of the Wildlife Park and the Sydney Aquarium. We arrived at the Wildlife Park just as it opened so we were able to walk right in. The "creepy crawly critters" came first. There was a docent there who showed us the vegetarian phasmids (stick insects) who differ from the meat-eating mantids. These fascinating creatures were methodically munching their way through the leaves on the branches in which they were hiding, starting at one end of a leaf, munching all along the edge, and then starting the process all over again. We petted the rhinocerous beetle, and shuddered as the guide coaxed a large venomous spider out of its soil burrow.
including this gigantic spotted fellow, who was at least six feet long!
Of course, no trip to Australia would be complete without an encounter with koalas, and we found them at the very top of the walkway. There were about seven of them sitting in the little trees, and - as is true about 90% of their time - they were all snoozing with their fat little rear ends perched up against the branches, which actually looked quite uncomfortable.
That is, they were all snoozing except for Angus, the largest male, who decided that he was feeling romantic. After approaching the nearest female, and being soundly rebuffed, he climbed down his tree and ambled to the next (moving faster than I've ever seen a koala move...which still wasn't very fast), then climbed up to try his luck with the lady in that tree.
No luck again, so he nestled down for a nap with a resigned sigh.
I was allowed to pet "Faith." Her fur was quite wooly, rather than soft and fuzzy.
The very pleasant docent, a young man in Australia on a work visa from Germany, talked with us for a long time about these appealing little creatures. Honestly, if they didn't move, you would swear that they were stuffed animals.
and a huge blue cassowary ...and the most iconic Australian bird, the laughing kookaburra.
The animals in Australia are really quite astonishing, and the lorikeets are almost unreal, with their multicolored patches of vivid color. Mother Nature must have been feeling particularly artistic and flamboyent when she worked on Australia!
We ended our zoo visit with a stroll through the butterfly rain forest, then went next door to the excellent Aquarium, which contains the second largest Great Barrier Reef display in the world...the first being the reef itself!
Unfortunately, by this time, the aquarium was jam-packed with visitors, most of whom were highly enthusiastic school children, but it was a great aquarium in spite of the crowds. We worked our way slowly through the exhibits, past the enormous crocodile, the seahorses, and the seal pool to the two best exhibits of the entire place: the shark tank and the Great Barrier Reef display.
You can walk through a huge tube under the shark pool, which held the biggest collection - and variety - of sharks I have ever seen. There was a very odd shark with a sort of fringe of ruffled skin around his mouth, another with three dorsal fins (looking like a three-masted schooner), and some huge fellows who glided slowly over us revealing their impressive array of rows and rows of teeth. We had heard that the Aussie's had been warned about an unusually high number of shark sightings this summer, and this tank did not make me eager to jump into the water here!
We finished our visit in the Great Barrier Reef display, which was beautiful, but I was delighted to discover how many of the fish Rob and I have actually seen in person already on our past snorkeling adventures.
We returned to Circular Quay, happily discovering as we entered the bay that our ship had docked and was waiting to greet us.
We bought a sandwich on the pier which we shared with the begging gulls and a scruffy little pigeon who got so eager that I had to shake her off my arm! Then we gathered our bags from the hotel and walked the short distance to our ship. There was already quite a line of passengers, but it moved quickly and we were soon on board being escorted to our very spacious veranda suite, where we were greeted by Pamela, our concierge who helped us book our massages for our days at sea.
although these seemed a little incongruous in light of the fact that the ship was also dotted with a variety of summer amenities like pools, waterfalls, and hammocks!
Jet lag finally caught up with us and we collapsed for a little nap before attending the Captain's reception in the Neptune Lounge, where we met a lovely couple from Florida, Gene and Toby, who would go on to become good friends over the course of the cruise. By the time we were finished with dinner, it was 10:00...and 3 in the morning in California...so we fell into our very comfortable bed and went soundly to sleep.
We woke to a warm day, with bright blue skies. We were not due to depart Sydney until the evening, so after a good breakfast (delivered to our suite just for fun), we set out to explore more of the city and to buy me some shoes for the ship's gym.
Downtown Sydyney was bustling with Christmas shoppers. It was so funny to think that it was the first day of summer...with traditional Christmas decorations adorning the streets. In spite of the decorations, my usual Christmasy feeling was almost entirely absent...until I saw this streetsweeper. He was so much in the spirit, I couldn't help but feel very festive!
Other than the occasional Victorian era building, the city felt very modern and familiar. (I bought the gym shoes at Payless, after checking out Adidas and the Footlocker.) Naturally, Starbucks was present...although not yet on every corner as at home. Australia may be more like the United States than any other country on earth. We both had native populations who were displaced by the European settlers, and we are both "young" countries. As at home, the "old" buildings here are no more than 200 years old. The people, too, seemed more like Americans in their openness and chattiness.
We walked back to the ship for lunch via George Street, passing through the beautiful Victoria Building...old and stately on the outside with a modern upscale shopping mall on the inside.
It was a gorgeous day, and we headed out again past Circular Quay where we could look back for another gorgeous view of the Harbour Bridge.
There were several street entertainers on the Quay, including two aborigines - one in modern dress and one in traditional garb - who were playing the digereedoo, a rather haunting instrument which makes long low booming sounds.
We continued on for a close up look at the Opera House, which was a suprise up close. From most angles, it looks like one big building, but it is actually a complex of separate buildings.
Behind the Opera House is a large Botanical Garden, which also displays the friendly Aussie spirit...the signs read "Walk on the grass! Smell the roses! Hug a tree! Picnic on the lawn!" That's the way a city park should be!
The harbor was laid out at our feet...sparkling blue and dotted with sailboats.
We finally returned to the ship for the mandatory life boat drill and to get ready for dinner, which turned out to be a "notable" experience, although not, perhaps, one we wanted to repeat. I had just said to Rob, "Maybe we'll have the good fortune to be seated with people who will become new friends." Instead, we were seated with Ingrid, a German-born Australian of about 75, whose first words to me were, "That's MY seat." She then proceeded to talk non-stop (literally) for about 1/2 hour. The only think that slowed her down was the arrival of our food. Now I have met some people who were so fascinating that listening to them was a pleasure, but that was not the case here. We heard about her life in Germany and the terrible conditions of the war, and her moves to England and then Australia. She seemed to love us almost immediately (although she had not asked us one question about ourselves or our lives) and by the end of dinner, had invited us to her daughter's home on Kangaroo Island and to her farm in Adelaide. We left the table with a sigh of relief and decided to take advantage of the ship's open seating policy after this first dinner.
We went out on deck to watch our departure from Sydney Harbor. The storm clouds that had been predicted had moved in, so the view wasn't quite as stunning as it might have been, but in spite of the fierce wind, the temperature was quite mild, so we enjoyed the evening.
As we got past the city, we could see that the harbor was lined with beaches surrounded by net barriers to keep out all of the various stinging and biting creatures that swim these waters.
The last channel before the open ocean was filled with little sailboats, and the Statendam had to blow its very loud horn three times before some of these little boats moved out of our way. Then finally we were out in the open sea heading south to Melbourne.
We ended the evening at the Broadway review put on by the ship's talented cast, then returned to our cabin for bed where we found the first of the adorable towel animals that our room steward had waiting for us every evening of the cruise. then we settled into bed and were gently rocked to sleep by the cradle of the ocean waves.
There is no denying that crusing is a very hedonistic life-style. We started our day with a workout in the ship's gym and relaxing in the "thermal room" then just enjoyed a quiet morning reading. After lunch, we went for our massage. My massuese was Annie, a darling Australian girl who was on her way home to Melbourne for Christmas with her family for the first time in eight years. Rob and I both enjoyed our massages so much that we immediately booked another one for later in the cruise.
It was formal night, so we dolled ourselves up and went to meet Gene and Toby for a lovely evening. What a change from our dinner company of the previous evening. The conversation was lively and entertaining. Gene and Rob discovered several books they loved in common, and we all bemoaned the state of the world.
During dinner, the nice weather of the day changed dramatically, and as we waited for the evening's entertainer to begin, we really started to rock and roll, with the ship giving off some loud booms as it slammed down into a couple of big dips. The pianist was okay...jazzy versions of the classics...but as I often find on cruises, too much "showmanship" and not enough "artistry." I enjoyed the ship's piano bar pianist, Fritzie, better. She was an odd looking woman, with lank blond hair and buggy eyes, but she knew how to entertain the group and how to get us singing along. She played "Embraceable You," and I shared the story of Mom's wartime recording of the song for Dad. The audience seemed very touched.
We arrived in Melbourne a little later than expected due to the stormy weather, but it calmed beautifully as we reached the city. Rob and I had made separate plans today, and he set out to explore the city while I joined Tim, my guide for the "Wild Australia: Roos and Koalas" Tour.
We were soon out of the city into the green rolling hills and little farms of the countryside. Our first stop was at the Serendip Sanctuary where we spotted our first kangaroo, a large male hopping alongside our bus. We walked through a gate into a large field containing two large mobs of kangaroos. One mob was rather shy and immediately bounded off into the distance, but the other seemed quite unconcerned about our presence and continued to graze and lie in the sun nearby while we gawked and snapped photos.
We continued on the bus around the sanctuary, spotting our first emus. Tim hopped off for a moment then returned with a large black emu egg. The egg had been "holed" - a hole drilled into it to control the emu population.
We next stopped by a lake that was home to hundreds of birds...emu, pelicans, ibis, a large variety of ducks, the pretty grey Cape Barren geese, and the Magpie geese, named, I presume, for their resemblance in color to the Australian magpie, a large crow-like bird with large white spots over its back and wings.
We were served tea and biscuits by a very cheery Aussie named Margaret, then we continued on to a National Park in the You Yang mountains. The hills were covered with eucalyptus ("gum") trees, and two "spotters" had been out scouting the locations of the koalas for us. They only found two this morning, but we got a good close up look at one of them. Each koala had a name. The spotter had a little booklet with descriptions of all of the known koalas in the park, who were identified by the various white spots under their noses. Our first koala was quite calm in spite of our standing around under her and continued her snooze.
We found the second koala very high in a tree. Without the spotters, I never would have seen her nestled in the very center of the big "gum" tree (which is what the Aussie's call the eucalyptus). I kept my eyes up looking for others when suddenly I spotted two bright pink birds on a branch nearby. I asked Tom, "Do you have parrots here?" and he replied, "Oh, yes!" I pointed them out and he identified them as galahs, which we know as rose-breasted cockatoos. What a thrill to see cockatoos in the wild! Apparently, they had the large sulphur-crested cockatoos here, too, although I didn't see any.
Finally, we drove to the top of a high hill for a great view all the way back to Melbourne, then rode back to the city. Tim had me help lead the bus in singing "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree," which I had learned years ago in the Girl Scouts, and "Waltzing Matilda."
Rob had enjoyed his stroll though the pretty city of Melbourne.
We met back on board for dinner, where we had another interesting encounter. We were seated at a table for eight. One of the couples had a darling little seven year old daughter who was obviously highly gifted. She had already read and enjoyed all of the Harry Potter books and could name all of the 13 original colonies. I got to chatting with her dad and discovered that he worked in the television industry. When I asked him which shows he had worked on, he said, "Have you ever heard of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer?" Have I heard of it? I spent every Tuesday evening at Brian's house for two years, watching every single episode! My dining companion was the producer of Buffy! What a fun surprise! I could hardly wait to tell Brian and Deena.
Tasmania...the very name is exotic and foreign. I had never learned much about this island state of Australia and the sketchy picture in my head was of a wild and tropical land, filled with Tasmanian devils lurking under rocky outcrops. so it was somewhat disconcerting to find that this section of the country was a pastoral setting of rolling hills, neat little farms, and towns filled with sweet little Victorian homes.
We docked at the port city of Burnie, the third largest city on the island. By the time breakfast was over, it was time to join our tour to Wings Wildlife Park. Our guide, Kaye, was friendly and knowledgeable, although she had a rather odd habit of ending every sentence with the upward lilt of a question. The drive from the seaside to the interior of the country was lovely, with blooming gardens and green fields filled with grazing sheep. We also saw quite a few fields of cultivated opium poppies, as this is one of just six places in the world allowed to grow poppies for medical uses...and it is strictly controlled.
We drove over the crest of a mountain for some gorgeous views of the Gunn Plains, then our bus crept oh so slowly down the very steep road to the Wings Wildlife Park. Until a few years ago, this had just been the Wings' family farm, but they sort of accidentally fell into the business of caring for injured wildlife, and over the years, it turned into a tourist attraction, completely family-run. The exhibits were nicely done...a reptile hall (there are four types of snakes on Tasmania, all venemous), a dark room with the nocturnal animals, then a variety of pens with Tasmanian devils, big fat wombats, spotted bandicoots, quolls, wallabys, and a variety of gorgeous birds, including the pink and grey galahs that I had spotted in the forest near Melbourne, (known in the U.S. as rose-breasted cockatoos), and a couple of gorgeous while cockatoos.
As you might expect, the cockatoos, which are very social birds, wanted to interact with the tourists. One of them responded to my greeting with a cheery, " 'ellow, Cockie!" in a thick Australian accent! Naturally, Rob was completely enchanted and spent a great deal of time preening the neck feathers of the cockatoos, who equally enjoyed the encourter.
I actually got to pet a baby Tasmanian devil in the arms of one of the zoo keepers. They are kind of cute in an ugly sort of way.
and had a close up encounter with a darling little koala, whose fur was soft and silky, rather than wooly like the one in Sydney.
Another highlight was going into the kangaroo run, with large kangaroos hopping all around us. One of them was calm enough to allow us to scratch it behind the ears. What a great day!
and when we entered the suite, we heard the sound of bagpipes. Directly below our cabin on the dock was a drup and pipe corps, decked out in Scottish regalia, serenading the passengers as they returned from their adventures. They played throughout the afternoon - a variety of traditional Scottish tunes interspersed with occasional verses of Waltzing Matilda.
After Rob's workout, he and I joined the Team Trivia game, which became an almost daily ritual during this cruise. We joined up with some very enthusiastic and knowledgeable players and our team consistently came in first or second place. I came home with quite an assortment of visors, luggage tags, Statendam mugs...all that Jeopardy practice has paid off!
At dinner, we enjoyed a traditional Christmas goose, then went to the theater to see Tony Duncan, a talented and funny juggler, whose show was all the more note-worthy for being done on a rolling ship! Then we stayed for the Christmas Eve "International Christmas Choir Concert," performed by the Statendam officers and crew...it was very sweet and also helped get me back in the Christmas spirit. The show began with a large group of Phillipine staff, including our concierge, Pam, who greeted us every morning with a cheerful, "Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Keere." They were followed by an Indonesian choir, and finally the dancers and singers of the ship's main cast.
Our last ritual of the day...discovering the newest creation our darling steward had left for us.
As I was catching up in my journal after breakfast this Christmas morning, the Captain came on the loudspeaker announcing that the ship's radar had just picked up a mysterious object in the sky and it appeared to be heading our way! He promised to keep us posted.
Sure enough, at 10 a.m., Santa's arrival was announced and we went to the theater to see the fun. The captain made a very nice little speech (in his booming voice and trilling his r's), noting that we are all family and that if politicians would only take a cruise, they might learn to live in peace. Then the children all lined up to get their gifts from Santa...very cute. It was a festive day, with the ship's crew AND many of the passengers all decked out in assorted Santa, elf, and reindeer antler hats and flashing jewelry.
We went up to the Crow's Nest to join our team for Holiday Trivia and came in second. I was able to help quite a lot with the Christmas lyrics, but when they got into the obscure second and third verses of Rudolph, I was as lost as everyone else! Lunch was a great buffet and party up on the deck...but it seemed so funny to be having a summer party, with swimming and music, on Christmas Day!
After lunch, I joined the Reindeer Games - a putting contest (try THAT on a rolling ship!), a ring toss, and a scavenger hunt around the entire ship. Once again, my team came in second...although we were far ahead of the other three teams on the scavenger hunt! I actually got sweaty...we were up and down stairs and running from stem to stern! As we found each "treasure," we had to call in on a public phone and get the little poem that would lead us to the next prize. Lots of fun!
Later in the afternoon, we joined Gene and Toby for "Win-a-Cruise" bingo...one single black-out game. I had only four spaces left, but did not win a cruise. No time to be sad...it was time to dress for the formal Christmas dinner. Gene and Toby joined us at a table for 10 with a family from England and a woman who coordinates large conferences, including Jack O'Connell's recent Educational Summit. After dinner, the Christmas performance was a very entertaining 50's and 60's variety show. We were fascinated by one of the male dancers who could kick his leg up completely parallel to this body...very talented cast.
Today found us still gliding the 1,000 miles or so from the east coast of Australia to the west coast of New Zealand. We slept in late (heavenly)...and it seemed even later, as we had moved the clocks ahead one hour during the night. It was a lazy day. We worked out in the gym, lost a dollar in the ship's casino, browsed through the shops, and read.
After lunch, Darren, our cruise director held our daily trivia game. Our team, Sam, Robert, Olga, Rob and I, had dubbed ourselves Team Mal de Mer... and today,we won the day.
Most of the trivia teams do very well...the level of education seems to be quite high among the passengers, so it makes for a lively competition.
Later in the afternoon, Rob and I did a mile walk (four times around Deck 6), pausing at the end to watch the gorgeous albatrosses that swooped behind our ship. I had just read an article about the albatross that very morning so the timing could not have been more perfect!
That evening, Rob bought me a beautiful pink freshwater pearl necklace for my Christmas present on our way to the evening's entertainment...a comic magician. More comedy than magic, but lots of fun and audience participation.
The clocks were set ahead one more time during the night, so I was awakened by the voice of the ship's commentator announcing that we were entering Milford Sound. Rob continued to sleep until our in-cabin breakfast was delivered, but I can never stand to miss anything, so I was up right away and out on our deck in my HAL bathrobe to see our entry into this famous site. Sadly (although it had been predicted), it was raining and the fjord was filled with thick fog.
There were a few moments here and there of partial clearing during which we could catch glimpses of the peaks looming above, tall waterfalls, sheer cliffs covered with trees and shrubs. In clear weather, it must be absolutely breathtaking. To show you what it might have been, here are two photos of one of the most famous sights in the Sound, Mitre Peak...first the way we saw it, and then the way it is shown in the tourist brochures.
Around 11 a.m., the captain gave us a nice surprise. Our darling cruise director (who led our trivia matches) told me that the captain said to him, "Darren, the weather is rrrrrubbish! I want to give the passengers something extra!" (We loved our captain's announcements, with his booming voice and rolling rrrrr's.) So he took us on an unscheduled tour around Secretary Island and into Doubtful Sound. It was the best weather of the day (although still overcast), and we had some pretty views of the fjord and the little islands dotting the passage.
By the time we got to Dusky Sound, however, it was POURING rain...great sheets of it. It was actually fun to sit on our deck and watch the torrential rain, but we didn't see much scenery - other than the many waterfalls that were gushing down the sides of all the cliffs!
It started to clear a bit as we left Dusky Sound for the open ocean and the trip around the very southern tip of New Zealand. We joined Gene and Toby for dinner and the show...an Australian singer. She was a good singer, but had a trait I have noticed with many of the solo acts I've seen on cruise ship...a sort of pleading quality: "Please like me. Please clap."
Of course, when we retired for the evening, we enjoyed seeing our growing menagerie!
We woke to find ourselves gliding into the harbor of Port Chalmers outside the city of Dunedin, a city filled with Scottish heritage. We rode the shuttle bus into the city and went immediately to the Information Center at the "Octagon," the Town Square, where we purchased tickets to the Larnach Castle, a landmark on the Otaga Peninsula. We had hoped to go all the way to the end of the peninsula to see the nesting grounds of the Royal Albatross and the yellow-eyed penguins - this is the only mainland breeding spot of the Royal Albatross in the world - but there were no scheduled tours, so the castle seemed a good alternative.
We had an hour to wait before our tour, so we explored the town a bit, visiting the very impressive Victorian railroad station, which was just as beautiful on the inside as the outside.
and the grey granite First Church (just like at home in Scotland) which had a gorgeous wood interior. As an added treat, an organist was playing.
We also paid our respects to the statue of Robbie Burns in the Octagon before joining our bus tour.
The drive to the castle was very pretty. We took the "high road" and had grand views down both sides of the Peninsula...Port Chalmers and the harbor on our left and the open ocean on the right.
At the pretty little "castle," which was actually the home of a Victorian era politician, we took a short tour. Our bus driver was also our guide and was full of information, but had such a thick accent that we could hardly understand a word! Following the tour, we had a hour or so to eat in the little cafe and to wander about the gardens, which looked like something right out of the English countryside, complete with a statue of Alice in Wonderland and the Queen of Heart's chair.
We returned to Dunedin along the low road and Rob and I split up to do some individual exploring. He went to the internet cafe and purchased a phone card to call home to check on Lily, our parrot...while I took the tour of the Cadbury factory, where my pink slacks got a bit splattered by the cascade of two TONS of liquid chocolate that came pouring down the silo! The tour included samples (of course! Why else take it?) and an interesting exhibit on the history of chocolate and of Mr. Cadbury, a Quaker who believed strongly in humane conditions for his workers.
We returned to the ship in time for afternoon trivia, then went up on the deck to watch our departure, which was once again accompanied by the loud tunes from a Scottish pipe band standing down by the huge pile of wood chips, one of the chief exports of New Zealand.
On the headlands at the tip of the Otaga Peninsula we passed by the World War II bunkers built into the hill to protect the entrance to the bay...and the only mainland nesting site of the Royal albatross. We could see them circling the lighthouse and sitting on the nests. We ended the day with a casual dinner and a game of Scrabble with Gene and Toby. Very nice day!
We awoke just as we arrived in Lyttleton, the port of Christchurch, "the most English of New Zealand cities." After a quick breakfast in the Neptune Lounge, we caught the shuttle to Christchurch and the Tourist Center in Cathedral Square where we caught a bus to the International Antarctic Center outside of the city.
but our visit was to the tourist section. Rob called it "Disneyland Antarctica," but some of it was very interesting, with much good information about the research being carried out in Antarctica.
The biggest attraction was the "cold room," a room filled with real snow where we waited (in big coats provided by the Center) for the storm to start. The room darkened and the wind began to blow. We could see the temperature and the wind chill factor recorded on a big display on the wall and it did get cold!
But we were soon back to temperate climes and off to see the exhibit of cute little blue penguins, the smallest (and most adorable) species of penguin in the world.
We returned to the city center where we enjoyed the various street performers, including some school kids who were making a bit of money during their summer break by "River Dancing" on wooden planks.
The day was beautiful and the square in front of Christchurch Cathedral was filled with both tourists and locals enjoying the warm weather and the little craft fair.
Christchurch is a very attractive little city, filled with unexpected works of art decorating the streets and walls.
We had a nice lunch at the Arts Centre where we had a chat with a fellow and his gorgeous rainbow lorikeet. Rob and I both held it, but for some reason, it decided that it wanted to put its beak up my nose...very disconcerting!
The next stop was the Botanical Garden - a huge garden filled with blooming flowers - hydrageas of all colors, a beautiful rose garden, willow trees hanging over the Avon River, an interesting and colorful fountain...absolutely gorgeous.
The last stop of the day was in a small "zoo" that included a "night room"...a very dark room where we could see the kiwi bird, the national symbol of New Zealand. It is a funny little bird - like a little feathered bowling ball with a too-small head and a long beak. It evolved with no predators, and is flightless, so of course it is terribly endangered now.
We returned to the ship and I raced upstairs just in time for the trivia game, (which was NOT a successful one - where do they come up with some of these obscure questions?!), then had an enjoyable dinner chatting with some folks from Hawaii and California, and ended the evening with a performance by the Statendam singers and dancers...the best entertainment on the ship!
Today was our best day so far! I knew the minute I woke up that it would be good when I peeked out through our dark curtains (which block out the early sunrise in these far southern latitudes) and saw the beautiful islands that dot Queen Charlotte Sound sitting in vivid green against a sparkling blue sky.
Rob and I had a quick breakfast in the Neptune Lounge, then set out our separate ways. I joined my tour, "Panoramic Land and Sea," while he set off to explore the local hiking trails along the tops of the ridges above the little town of Picton. My group walked the short distance to a waiting catamaran that took us on a cruise around the bay. I sat up on top and snapped way too many photos. It was one of those places in which every turn of the head brings views even more beautiful than the last, so I snap away, trying to capture the flavor of the scene but never quite succeeding.
We sailed in and out of the many little bays that extended into the various hills and islands.
Stopping at one little wharf, the skipper blew the ship's horn and down from the home on the hill came bounding a big yellow dog to greet the boat and get his treat. This was obviously a frequent ritual. In another little inlet, we stopped to feed a school of little blue cod that came swarming around to get their bread crumbs. The weather was perfect with blue skies and the first really warm day we had had since leaving Sydney.
We ended our "cruise" at a camping spot filled with rows of RVs that is so popular that the guests have to make their reservations about eight years ahead!
We departed the boat and got on a bus that took us on a scenic drive over ridges with sweeping views of Queen Charlotte Sound and down into the Marlborough wine country, a green agricultural valley surrounded by mountains. This region is the Napa-Sonoma of New Zealand.
Our final stop was the town of Blenheim's Botanical Garden, which was in the full bloom of summer.
The tour ended back in Picton around 1:00 with still plenty of time to explore the little seaside resort.
Rob had just returned from his hike along the ridges above the Sound, which he said was one of the best he had ever taken. The trail meandered through the woods, past stands of the Silver Fern, one of the two main symbols of New Zealand (the other being the kiwi bird), and past great views of Picton below and Queen Charlotte Sound spread out below him.
We had lunch on the ship, then spent the afternoon just wandering the town, browsing the little craft fair in the seaside park and poking into the many little gift shops.
The rest of the afternoon was spent on our deck enjoying the beautiful cruise out of the Sound as we left Picton and headed north toward Wellington.
After a casual dinner in the Lido Restaurant, Rob and I enjoyed the hilarious comedian, Geraldine Doyle, an Irish-Australian comedienne who had the audience roaring with laughter. Then we ended this very nice day in the piano bar for the Beatles sing-along.
Ww woke to cold, grey skies again and we docked in Wellington, the modern capital city of New Zealand, which sits at the very southern end of the North Island. Immediately after breakfast, we set out to explore the city. Wellington does not supply a free shuttle from the pier into the heart of the city, but it was an easy 15 to 20 minute walk along the waterfront.
We were joined by a couple of Australian girls from the ship along the walk and had a fun talk. We asked them about the many dangerous creatures and oceans of Australia, and they would go on and on about the dangers, but periodically punctuate their explanation with, "But no worries...we have antivenom," and "No worries...we have the best lifeguards in the world. They'll rescusitate you!" Rob finally broke in laughing with, "Well, you've convinced me not to come back to Australia!"
The wharfs along the city were very pretty, with an interesting mixture of the sleek new and modern side by side with the lovely ornate Victorian.
Our first stop was at the Te Papa Museum where we waited in the coffee shop for the exhibits to open at 10 a.m. The museum was very interesting. We started in a little room showing a video of life in New Zealand over the past 60 years or so...a montage of films and snapshots of various events. It was quite interesting, mostly because it was filled with events for which I had no frame of reference. I'm sure it brings up lots of memories and nostalgia for the Kiwis who live here (the people, not the birds!), but it did point out clearly how unfamiliar I am with the history of this country. I have very little "cultural literacy" here.
We enjoyed much of the artwork, but were not so impressed with some of the modern art, like the cardboard box with moving eyes, created by a Sean Kerr. Rob was quite disgusted that a "relative" could have created something so stupid. Sean must have been descended from the many Scots who have settled here...there was also an exhibit surrounding the Scottish immigrants' contributions. Of course, there were many exhibits of the unique wildlife on these islands and of the Maori culture, as well as a big poster commemorating the Beatles' 1960's visit to New Zealand.
which ended in a city square containing a suspended globe displaying the silver fern, the national symbol of New Zealand.
The Visitors' Information Center gave us a map of the city that directed us to the Parliament Building, with its distinctive round tower, nicknamed the Beehive, standing next to the more traditional offices of Parliament.
We were too late to take the tour and didn't want to wait for the next one, so we headed back downtown. Wellington sits on the Cook Strait, the water between the North and South Islands, so the weather can be blustery. It was still terribly windy and cold, and Rob decided he did not want to be out in the cold anymore, so he headed back to the ship.
I stayed in town to see if I could find myself a nice sweater (no luck), but while I was looking, I found myself right in front of the cable car (really a funicular) that took visitors up to the Botanical Garden on a hill above the city.
I took the red cable car up up up the hill, and as I arrived at the top, the sun came out and the wind died down. The city and Cook Strait spread out below me and the back side of the hill was criss-crossed with delightful trails through the trees and gardens.
I was so sorry Rob had not come, but I did run into Gene and Toby, who were on one of the ship's tours.
I could have happily stayed longer, but it was soon time to return to the ship for afternoon trivia. Sam, one of my team partners, and his wife, Jo - a congenial couple from Florida - and Rob and I made plans to meet for the New Year's Eve formal dinner.
As we dressed, the ship left Wellington, sailing out of the Cook Straights that lie between North and South Islands and continuing north along the east coast of North Island. The morning's cloudy weather had turned and we had beautiful views of the coastline.
Of course, the evening was filled with fun activities as we waited for midnight. Darren, our cruise director, and two others of his crew, put on a "game show," Call My Bluff, in which the contestants had to come up with the definitions to various words. Darren and his partner were brilliant ad-libbers, and I laughed myself into a laughter induced asthma attack!
The ship's theater was soon mobbed with guests celebrating the New Year. We were all given silly party hats and noisemakers and danced and laughed the evening away. This was an especially momentous New Year, as the captain had positioned our ship just west of the International Date Line, so that we were in the first time zone on the planet to greet 2008 - 21 hours ahead of California!
At one minute before midnight, the count-down started flashing on the big screen on the stage, and on the stroke of midnight, huge strands of silver confetti came shooting out from the state and a mass of balloons came raining down. The crowd sang Auld Lang Syne and Rob and I shared a New Year's kiss.
The traditional Midnight Buffet was replaced on this cruise by a spectacular dessert buffet. We actually had no appetite for sweets at midnight, but it was a feast for the eyes!
Rob and I returned to our room, exhausted but happy, to find the last of the adorable towel animals left nightly by our room steward - this darling monkey - waiting to send us to bed.
We woke up to much better weather than the morning yesterday so we put on our summer clothes and enjoyed a quiet and uneventful day. I took advantage of some of the ship's activities...a lecture on Tauranga, our next stop...a flower arranging demonstration...and of course, Team Trivia.
Rob and I also enjoyed one of our few days of sunbathing on the deck, although his fair Scottish skin burns so easily that by the end of the first 15 minutes, he was covered head to toe with towels to protect himself from the sun!
We met Sam and Jo outside of the Rotterdam Dining Room just by chance, so we joined them for dinner again, then went to the ship's movie theater to see "The Lost Legion," a prequel to the King Arthur story.
We spent one more day at sea as we worked out way up the east coast of the North Island, but today included a variety of scenic views along the coast. After breakfast, we passed by White Island, the most active volcano of New Zealand.
It is quite obviously a volcano, with a big caldera, a number of steaming fumeroles, and the smell of sulphur in the air. In fact, it was a sulphur mining operation until eleven miners were killed in the eruption of 1914. It erupted again in 2000, sending out big clouds of ash, and experiences constant tremors right up until today, athough it has never threatened the mainland.
We floated off the coast of White Island for about an hour, then continued north.
"Can I go to the Singles' Party if I am married?"
"Does this ship generate its own power?"
"Is the TV on the ship satellite or cable?"
"What elevation are we at?"
"What religion are the people with the patches behind their ears?"
"How will I know which photos are mine?"
"Does the crew sleep on board?"
Following the lecture, Rob and I attended the "Suite Luncheon" with the Captain in the Pinnacles Dining Room...one of the perks of our upgrade to a suite...and were seated with Gene and Toby for another great visit. Meeting them really was one of the highlights of this cruise!
After lunch, I ran up for Trivia, but couldn't stay for the results as Rob and I had booked our second massage, followed by a half hour in the thermal room...heavenly!!! When we emerged, we found ourselves cruising alongside an area of the coast that is dotted with numerous little islands. This is a big fishing area and was filled with small pleasure boats and sail boats.
The coastline here on the west side of North Island was very green and pastoral...not at all like the rugged cliffs of the fjords on the west coast of South Island. We sat on our own deck and enjoyed the warm air, the sunshine, and the sound of the water.
Tonight was the last formal night, and we once again joined Gene and Toby for a good dinner and good conversation.
We docked in the morning at the Port of Tauranga, which actually sits across the bay from the town of Tauranga at the little beach resort of Mount Maunganui, named for the big hill (one individual peak, like Moro Rock) at the end of the peninsula. It was another gorgeous day - blue, sunny, and warm!
We left the ship immediately after breakfast to hike the trail to the top of the mountain before it got too hot.
It was a taxing, but very memorable, hike, through a giant fern forest and the to the top with gorgeous vews of the coast. Mt. Maunganui sits at the end of a narrow peninsula with the ocean on one side and our ship docked in the bay on the other.
We visited with several fun groups of people along the way...a local couple, a Dutch family visiting relatives in the area, and another very friendly and chatty group of local Kiwis who accompanied us all the way back down the hill, providing us with our own private little tour by pointing out the "New Zealand Christmas Tree," a tree that is similar to the bottlebrush, with red fuzzy blossoms that cover the trees during the summer Christmas season here, and the strong flax plants what were used by the Maoris for clothing, baskets, and many other purposes.
The views from the top were spectacular...360 degree views of the bay on one side, the open ocean - fronted by a great stretch of sandy beach and dotted with islands here and there - on the other, and the little beach town on the narrow strip of land in between.
At the very bottom of the hill, we could see the public pools, heated naturally by thermal waters warmed by the volcanic activity on the island.
We strolled along the boardwalk for awhile and sat on the grass above the beach people-watching and enjoying the fine weather, then returned to the ship for lunch.
After lunch, we put on our bathing suits and returned to the beach where Rob enjoyed a nice swim. The water was not too chilly and was quite clear, although not quite like the crystal clear waters of Hawaii or Polynesia.
We followed the ocean swim with a dip in the pools at the bath house at the foot of the mountain...a nice little complex of three natually heated pools and several hot tubs...all salt water. We especially enjoyed sitting under the very powerful jets of water for a nice shoulder massage.
Then we made our way back slowly back to the ship through the town, browsing in the shops along the way. Dinner on board was a BBQ party on the upper deck.
Since our ship was not departing until late, I had time to return to town one more time for an evening stroll around the base of Mount Maunganui. It was a lovely trail, 3.4 kilometers with the hill on my right and the ocean on my left. The first half of the trail took me under the forest trees, accompanied by the singing of the birds. Toward the end of the walk, I emerged from the forest into a field filled with sheep who wandered all the way down onto the rocks of the seashore.
We finished our day at the final performance of the Statendam singers and dancers...a "World Beat" extravaganza with amazing costumes and more astounding dance moves. On the way back to our cabin, we went out on the deck to enjoy the clearest night of the entire trip. The stars were bright and gorgeous...and somehow "wrong." We found Orion, but he was standing upside down - one of the funny consequences of being south of the equator!
Another gorgeous day! We anchored in the Bay of Islands off the town of Paihia and took the tender to the dock where we were met my our Maori guide, a handsome young man who escorted us on a memorable excursion into his land and culture.
We stopped for some photos at the old mission houses, which are some of the oldest buildings in New Zealand.
Then we drove to the Puketi Forest, the home of the huge kauri trees, the largest of New Zealand's native trees. These impressive trees once covered this entire region of North Island, but were almost wiped out by loggers in the 19th century. Fortunately, they are now being preserved in parks like this one. The forest was beautiful. We walked over the swampy ground on a boardwalk that led us through to giant ferns and on to the tall kauri trees.
We continued on through the beautiful green hills to our guide's village, where we were given a traditional greeting by one of the village elders outside of the town's marae, or meeting hall. The elderly woman welcomed us, and one of our group had been designated to act as the spokesperson for us, returning her greeting and offering our thanks for her welcome. We were then invited into the large hall to learn about the culture and life of these original inhabitants of New Zealand, who arrived here from Polynesia about 800 years ago.
It was fascinating. The entry to the hall was decorated with the traditional carvings and faces we had seen at some of the museums on our trip...not, perhaps, as elaborate as some of those in the museums, but very authentic. The inside of the hall was covered top to bottom and side to side with photographs of the ancestors of the people of this village...with photographs going back into the last century. We were asked to take a moment of silence to honor these and our own ancestors. Then the residents of the village who were there sang a song and chant of welcome, and we returned the courtesy with a chorus of "You Are My Sunshine." It really was a special moment!
saw a huge and elaborately carved Maori war canoe housed in a long tent.
and visited the Treaty House where the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document was signed. This document still serves as the guide to the treatment of land and laws between the British and the Maori inhabitants of New Zealand.
We left the aptly named Bay of Islands in the evening, enjoying the views of the many little islands dotting the sea all around us, and headed back south toward our last stop, Auckland.
As our flight home did not depart until evening, we took advantage of the ship's offer of a full day tour exploring the large city of Auckland. Our first view of the city from our last morning on our nice veranda was the impressive Sky Tower, which is visible from everywhere in the city.
Our bus took us to the top of a little mountain for some fine views of the city. The peak was obviously an ancient volcano, with a conical shape and distinct crater. Looking around the city, the volcanic origins of this island became very apparent, as there were several other of these cones dotting the landscape here and there.
then enjoyed a stop in a city garden blooming with roses of all varieties that perfumed the air delightfully.
From there, we continued outside the city to Bastion Point and the memorial to Michael Joseph Savage, New Zealand's first Labour prime minister. Gene and Toby were also on this tour, so we enjoyed one last chance to visit with them before heading home.
We are always glad to be going home, but Australia and New Zealand left us wanting more. We will return here in the future!

Hi Kyle. Now that I have a moment, I want to let you know that the cabinets you sent me look beautiful. It is evident that someone made an effort to select nice wood. I'll send you a few pictures once everything is set. Please pass on my appreciation to everyone who had a hand in the work. I have spent, and continue spending, a lot of time living in some of the worst places in the world. So, the time I get to live at home is really important to me. My house is a comfortable sanctuary from the sand, dirt, and chaos of the middle east. Your cabinets are a key part of making this house my home. They keep and display my most valued possessions in a way that brings me great happiness. So, thank you again for the beautiful cabinets.
I received my gun cabinet today 10/23/2015 and I am very pleased with it and your service. Thank you again, Marvin Z, Somerset, N.J.
Hello Mr. Beeler, I just received my gun cabinet model #358 today. What a joy it was to see this prize. I had just inherited several guns from my Dad who just passed and this will display these guns proudly. I want to thank you for taking the time to select the right style and color. I would recommend your products to anyone who is interested in purchasing a cabinet. Thank You, Robert C.
I did receive it today and it looked great. No tears, rips or any signs of an issue. I have just opened it at home and LOVE it!! As I am sure my husband will as well. Very beautiful piece! I'll let you know what he thinks...should be home shortly. Thank you, you have been great in assisting me with everything!
The display has just arrived. Great item. Thank you very, very much. It is an eye-catcher.
Received the gun cabinet yesterday in perfect condition. It is just what I expected. Then you for a very easy and painless purchase experience.
Anita, I’m sorry I have been so long getting back to you. Hurricane Isaac hit us and we were without power and phones for 5 days. It was so hot and humid!!!!!
I got my beautiful sofa and loveseat and I just love it! Thank you so much for your help and the great price. I have wanted it since I first saw it 2 years ago in Black Forest Décor and at that time it was about $2500. plus shipping and I knew I couldn’t afford it. So, I waited and watched and found your wonderful price with no shipping cost. I cannot thank you guys for helping me get something I have wanted for 2 years. The driver who delivered it actually helped my son get it in the house…way beyond his duty. I offered him a good sized tip because he wasn’t supposed to do that and he refused to take it. GOD was with me all they way through this endeavor. Maybe it was a reward for taking care of his wildlife. I have a fellow wildlife rehabilitator who wants the sofa and as soon as her divorce goes through, she is going to order it through you folks. I am keeping all the information for her and will put her in touch with you. Thank you so much for your help and if I am ever up your way, I will drop in to see you.
Kyle, I just wanted to thank you so much for all your help. We received the door and got it installed and it looks great. We are really happy with the gun cabinet, it is just what we were looking for. Thanks again, it was such a pleasure working with you. Have a great day.

Many students take part in a year abroad. This may be part of their studies or an extra year tagged onto their university experience. But is it a good idea? Which is the best way to do it? How much does it cost and how do you go about planning it?
We decided to look into the year abroad to find out more. Read on to see what it’s all about and decide if it’s for you.
A year abroad is exactly what it sounds like – an academic year spent in a foreign country. It can be an enriching experience that can help shape your future. The good news is, it’s open to most students, no matter what you’re studying. In fact, the options are vast and varied, so you could spend a year in all kinds of different locations. Which will you choose?
What are the different kinds of year abroad?
If you’re a student on a language-based course or thinking of embarking on one, it will probably include a year abroad. In this instance, you’ll have different options available to you ahead of your year abroad. These can include where you want to (in your chosen language’s geographical area). It could also include how you spend your year abroad. For example, where you wish to study in a foreign uni or teach English as an assistant in a school or college.
However, a year abroad isn’t just for language students. Programmes like ERASMUS have long been offering this option to students on all kinds of courses. So, you can still get in on the action if languages aren’t your thing.
Bear in mind the fact things may change once Britain leaves the EU. ERASMUS, for example, won’t be available after 2020. But fear not, there will still be year abroad options for UK students.
In actual fact, there are many ways you can spend a year abroad, and various options on how you spend it. You may study at a foreign university, teach English to younger pupils in a school abroad or work in industry.
You can also work or study abroad for just a semester. So, if you don’t want to commit to a full year, look at shorter-term options on offer.
Whichever option you choose, make sure you have researched all avenues and chosen the right path for you.
What are the benefits of a year abroad?
Seeing the world is a wonderful thing to do. Why not use a year abroad as a chance to discover new places and experiences? Travelling can teach us so much, and help us return with a fresh outlook. Spending a year abroad as part of your studies, or university experience, can be an amazing thing to do for yourself.
If you choose a non-English speaking country, the chances are your year abroad will help you improve your language skills in the mother tongue.
Working or teaching in the target language is the best way to immerse yourself fully and give yourself a fast-track class in becoming fluent. So, if language improvement is your major motivator, opt for one of these routes.
However, studying abroad can also help you to practise your languages, too. You will be attending classes in the mother tongue, as well as using your languages in daily life. Just make sure you don’t surround yourself with fellow English speakers if your goal is to brush up your Spanish, as you may find it hasn’t done the trick!
New friendships are a fantastic part of spending a year abroad. Many people form lifelong connections with the people they meet while spending time in a different country. The shared experience can bring you together and create bonds which last way beyond the end of the academic year.
Whether you’re studying, teaching or working abroad there should be plenty of chance to meet people. Programmes dedicated to teaching and working bring together students from all over the world in the same situation. This enables them to form networks and share experiences, with regular meet-ups to stay in touch.
Meanwhile, if you choose to study abroad, you’ll meet students of all nationalities. Keep an open mind and you’ll make friends with people outside of your usual circles. Hopefully, the friends you make will help you to make the most of the experience!
Living in a different country doesn’t just introduce you to new experiences, people and cultures. In fact, it can help you to gain a host of other new skills which will come in handy for the rest of your life.
Spending a year abroad will help you to grow as a person, mature, gain independence and develop a greater sense of self. Taking yourself outside of your comfort zone by leaving uni behind can have an incredible impact on you as a person long-term.
The amazing experiences and skills gained during your year abroad can help you later in life, when starting your career.
Employers view a year abroad as a positive, as it tells them a graduate has experienced life outside of uni. This could help you to land your dream job in no time!
What are the downsides of a year abroad?
A year abroad can be amazing. But there can be a few things to bear in mind before you jet off, to make sure it’s the right decision for you.
Spending a year abroad is a huge step for a student who may have only just got used to life away from home. And while it can be the best thing you’ve ever done, it can also be hard.
Long periods away from friends and family take their toll (and thanks to Facebook, you’ll still see everything going on without you).
If you can overcome the homesickness, spending a year abroad can be an incredible, character-building experience. It may feel strange to think you’ll rely on friends you haven’t met yet. However, you may well find the situation helps you form deep friendships which help you through the experience.
Not brushed up on your language skills? You may be in for a shock.
Many large European cities are full of willing English speakers. However, smaller towns and rural areas won’t be the same. You will be expected to talk the language!
However, most people on a year abroad see this as the fantastic opportunity it is to improve their language skills.
And you’ll hopefully find that most people appreciate your efforts, so will help you to make yourself understood if you are struggling. To be on the safe side, don’t wing it – do your homework and come prepared.
We don’t want to fill your head with horror stories, but safety should always be your priority when you’re travelling – especially in unfamiliar surroundings.
Do your research beforehand about the safest areas, and make sure you don’t travel with too many valuables.
Check your insurance covers everything, and take as many precautions as you can to avoid having items taken from you. Investing in items like an anti-theft backpack could be a smart place to start.
Unfortunately, a year abroad won’t come cheap, as there are various financial factors to take into consideration. However, there is plenty of support available for students who choose to spend a year abroad – and a little careful planning can go a long way.
Check out the infographic below from Sainsbury’s Bank to find out all you need to know about the cost of spending a year abroad.
Jetting off on a year abroad is undoubtedly an incredibly exciting prospect. Just make sure you sort out all the practicalities before you leave, so you can enjoy yourself without any worries. We’ve rounded up a few things to remember before you head off on your adventure.
Sticking to a budget could be easier than you think with a little careful planning. Work out how much you have to spend based on your student loan, any earnings you will have over there, funds from parents etc and research how far you can make this go. Join Facebook groups and forums about life in your destination to help you glean handy tips on living like a local. Hopefully, this will help you plan your finances, get all the insider tips and make some friends, too!
Better still, email them to yourself and a friend in case the worst happens! While it’s easy to keep track of your passport on holiday, the same can’t be said when you’re settled into your new accommodation and daily life. Keep everything in a safe place, but be prepared for the worst!
If your budget is tight, why not look into ways of earning money during your year abroad? There are so many options – bar work, teaching English at night school, tutoring, delivering Uber Eats – look at your options and see what works for you in your area.
One practical aspect of a year abroad is wondering where to put all your stuff while you’re away. Moving from one student house to another every academic year means most students won’t have the space to stash everything away until the following year. So, it boils down to one of two options.
Firstly, you can try sweet talking your parents into helping you transport everything back home – then back again when you need it (good luck with that one).
Or, you can find some affordable storage space close to your uni house or flat to get it packed away until you need it. Many storage centres will offer a collection service, which can come in handy if you don’t have transport (ours is even free ). And it saves you the headache of owing your mum and dad a favour!
While it’s not smart to travel with bundles of Euros, it will be really handy if you have a little cash available as soon as you land. If you have problems with your UK debit or credit cards, you’ll be glad of some funds to grab a taxi, a bite to eat or a travel pass.
Going away for such an extended trip, you’ll naturally want to take everything you own just in case you’ll need it at some point. But try to hold back and pack light, because you may end up bringing all the wrong things for the type of place you’re in. The best thing to do is leave room in your case to shop while you’re there, so you can work out what you actually need and blend in with the locals (this will help throw pickpockets in busy cities off the tourist scent too).
The most important piece of advice we can offer students planning a year abroad is simply to enjoy it! It can be an incredible experience full of highs and lows. Don’t feel pressure if you don’t have the time of your life every single moment. You’re bound to have amazing times and a little homesickness too, so take it all as it comes and enjoy it as much as you can. Keep an open mind, travel as much as you can and try to say yes to new things – even if you’re scared!
If you’ve spent a year abroad, please share your tips and experiences with others on our social pages!

Update: After more than 50 years in operation, Akamba Bus closed its doors in May 2012. Jump to this comment to find out what my current recommendation of bus operator on this route is.
If you would like to know “how many hours from Kampala to Nairobi by bus”, “how long does it take from Kampala to Nairobi by bus”, “how many hours from Nairobi to Kampala by bus”, or “how long from Nairobi to Kampala by bus”, you can find that answer here.
This is the first post in a 3-part series. Click here to read parts II and III.
Have you ever traveled by bus from Nairobi to Kampala? If so, what bus service did you use?
Did you travel during the day or at night? What route did you choose?
I make this journey all the time!
To tell you how much, let me just share that one month of March, while working in Nairobi and not on leave, I spent three of the four weekends of the month in Kampala.
Although occasionally I fly between these two destinations, I do so rarely because of the exorbitant price of air travel on this route.
Traveling by bus is 8 times cheaper and is convenient enough, especially when I’m not particularly time-constrained.
Many bus companies serve this route.
The only three that are worth knowing about, in my opinion, are Akamba Public Road Services, Scandanavia Express Services, and Regional Coach Services (which I will refer to from now on simply as Akamba Bus, Scandinavia, and Regional).
Of these three, Akamba Bus and Scandinavia are by far the superior services, though when the need arises, Regional is an O.K. alternative.
I will tell you about these services in a three-part series.
In this first post of the series, I will tell you all you need to know about making this journey with Akamba Bus.
In the next two posts, I will tell you what you need to know about traveling with Scandinavia and Regional.
READ ALSO: Baby Gorilla Naming Ceremony: Rwanda Development Board’s Kwita Izina.
Akamba Bus is the oldest of the three services I will discuss.
I am not sure when Akamba Bus came into existence, but my parents tell me that it existed even in their day.
Starting with it being a good thing, Akamba Bus has a lot of experience ferrying passengers on this route and has mastered the art of doing so safely.
Of the three bus services, Akamba Bus has the best and longest safety track record.
During the 9 years that I have regularly traveled this route, I have never heard of a major road accident involving Akamba Bus.
If safety, above all, is what you are looking for, look no further: Akamba Bus is the bus for you.
As a bad thing, because of its age as a service, Akamba Bus buses are often no longer in the best of conditions and can be quite rickety.
There are two ways that I know of to circumvent this problem.
The first is to pay a little more and use the more up-market Akamba Bus service known as Akamba Royal. The other is to use a trick that I learned from a cousin who also makes this journey often: travel with a pillow to cushion “the blows”.
This you can always do when traveling by bus anywhere in East Africa and goes a long way to making a bus ride a lot more comfortable.
Akamba Bus travels between Nairobi and Kampala using two different routes.
One route passes through Kisumu and crosses the Kenya–Uganda border at Busia. The other passes through Eldoret and crosses the border at Malaba.
I am not sure why, but most people I know prefer to travel using the Busia route.
Out of habit, I too used to travel using that route.
The last time I traveled to Kampala, in order to avoid the very bad road between Nairobi and Kisumu, I chose to travel using the Malaba route.
Akamba Bus buses serving the Nairobi–Kampala route depart from Nairobi several times a day, both during the day and at night.
During the day, buses leave early in the morning, at 7 a.m.
At night, they leave at 7 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.
Akamba Royal, the up-market service of Akamba Bus, departs from Nairobi only once a day, in the morning at 7 a.m.
I recommend day travel the first time you make this journey so that you get to see what lies between the two capital cities.
Once you have seen what there is to see, I recommend night travel on all subsequent journeys.
How Long from Nairobi to Kampala by Bus?
The journey now takes 13 hours due to bad roads and government-imposed speed limits.
Traveling at night makes this long journey seem much shorter since you can sleep most of the way.
Traveling between Nairobi and Kampala by bus is inexpensive.
The last ticket I bought for Akamba Bus’s executive service (the regular service) cost me only 1,400 Ksh, while the Akamba Royal service cost 2,100 Ksh.
If day travel and money are not considerations, then I do recommend spending the extra money to travel by Akamba Royal.
Akamba Royal, being a newer service, has more modern and comfortable buses and, in my experience, tends to be more prompt.
I think I have told you all you need to know about traveling between Nairobi and Kampala using Akamba Bus.
If you have any comments, or questions you would like to ask, please leave me a comment below.
If you would like to contact the Akamba Bus offices directly, you can call them on +254-(20)-556062 in Nairobi and on +256-(41)-250412 in Kampala.
Join me tomorrow to hear more about traveling with Scandinavia on this same route.
The day after that, I will tell you about traveling with Regional.
If you will be making this journey soon, I wish you a safe and comfortable trip.
hey biche, i have enjoyed reading your blog. i will be travelling to east africa this august and am researching transport from nairobi to kampala, and your posts have been very helpful. i would like to go from nairobi to mbale. is there any way to do this trip without going all the way to kampala? i appreciate any help you could offer.
Please excuse the time I have taken to get back to you. Yes, you can get to Mbale without going all the way to Kampala first. Akamba has a service from Nairobi to Mbale, as does Regional.
I hope you enjoy your stay in East Africa!
I am looking at Travelling by Road from Nairobi to Kigali. What solutions do you recommend ?
Nairobi-Kigali: Well, honestly, I would recommend that you fly (if that’s an option) because the road between Nairobi and Kampala is currently horrendous! It’s in the worst state that I have seen it in the past 10 years. I love to travel by road, but the last time I had to shuttle between Kampala and Nairobi – I opted to fly.
To stick to your specification about road travel, though. 🙂 I would recommend doing it in one of two ways.
2. The second option is to break the journey into two legs: Nairobi-Kampala and Kampala-Kigali. This is a good option if you are up to the adventure and are not pressed for time. The first leg would take about 12-15 hrs and could be done using Akamba or Scandinavian (my recommendations). The second would take 8 hrs using a service such as Jaguar or Regional (I quote only that which I know). Travelling using this option would enable you to schedule some RnR time in Kampala that could be used discovering a new city or visiting friends (in case you have any there :-)).
Whatever the case, Kigali is the bomb! so it’s a journey that’s well worth making.
I have used Akamba once and vowed not to do so again. The bus broke down part way to Nairobi and the conductor took the cover off the engine, tied a string to the throttle and they drove the remainder of the trip with the conductor managing the throttle by a string and the driver given hand signals to the conductor indicating more fuel or less fuel. As I was sitting in the front seat, I got fulll fuew of the procedure as well as the fumes coming off the engine. Since they knew exactly what to do, I assume that this was not an unusual experience. I have been on the Regional bus a couple of times since then and found the experience much more satisfying, although Regional did cancel my reservation in spite of having paid for the ticket in advance.
Thanks for sharing that experience. That must have been quite harrowing to say the least! Nope, I have never had an experience like that on Akamba though Akamba breaking down happens often enough.
Hello Biche and many thanx for your good rewiew on the bus services from Nairobi to Kampala.
Im about to be travelling through east Africa in February and right now sort of planning my trip.
Hi Biche, I am a Muhindi who lived in Uganda from 1994 to 1997 and again in 1999. I started the Simba Steel operations in Kampala. I used the Akamba service to transport a number of my colleagues and often urgent material from Nairobi. Just calling in to say your article jogged old memories – actually for my wife Pushya and I – Kampala was a honeymoon transfer from India. From the bottom of my heart – we loved and still love Africa.
Welcome to ChickAboutTown! I am glad you found this review useful. I have just read the blog post you linked to in your comment, and I hate to tell you but that’s exactly the experience I had too when I last travelled to Kigali by bus via Kampala. The road is tortuous and the bus companies speed along the entire journey (without speed governors), even on the sharp bends in the hilly parts of southern Ugandan and as you enter Rwanda. Truth be told, I held my breath for the better part of the journey just hoping for the best. If you don’t want to take chances and can afford it, flying might be a better option.
I haven’t taken the road through Tanzania since the early eighties so I really can’t tell you much about it. From what I know about Tanzania’s geography, though, I expect that be a much longer route. Does anyone out there know how long that journey would take? Of the two routes, I would generally take the route through Kampala, or else fly.
I am glad that my site can bring a little bit of Uganda to you, wherever in the world you are (as I write today, I am actually writing from the beautiful city of Kampala). So you were in Kampala in the mid to late nineties? I remember those days well. Every time I would visit Kampala, during that time, I would be astonished at how fast the city was changing and developing! What did you like most about your stay in Uganda?
ground transport between Kigali and Kampala!
How about you break up your trip into two legs, Nairobi-Kampala and Kampala-Kigali? I am sure you can easily find safe bus transportation between Nairobi and Kampala, and then try to find a way to make it by car from Kampala to Kigali. For instance, might you consider renting a car? Or can you think of a group of people who might be interested in doing the trip by car with you? The route is fairly straight forward and if you go slowly enough, I think it might be safe enough for you to drive yourself, especially with company. The scenery on this journey is amazing! I can see why you wouldn’t want to miss out on it.
Just throwing around a some ideas.
young children? Any help really appreciated!
Welcome to ChickAboutTown and thanks for the kudos!
Yes, the busses are suitable for children, but in that case I really, really recommend using Akamba’s Royal Service. Although it is a little more expensive, the seats are usually wider, travel times are during the day, and the bus is less crowded. All in all, it makes for a more pleasant journey – one less likely to make children irritable and unruly.
I wish you and your family an enjoyable journey!
Thanks for the info on travel between Nairobi and Kampala . I am leaving tomorrow for Kampala using the Akamba Royal bus service.
-The price for the royal service has gone up to kes2500.00/usd$32.00 for a one way ticket.
I will update you on any changes. All I know is that the road from Nairobi to Nakuru is sweet….after that I have no idea.
Finally any pointers on getting to Kigali for the weekend. Is it possible to go Friday and come back on a sunday?
Thanks for the updates on travel with Akamba. That’s great information to have, particularly the part about some of the road being better. I haven’t traveled that road in a while, having been discouraged with it’s condition the last few times I traveled it. Maybe I’ll try it out again some time soon.
Kigali for the weekend from Kampala is possible though might be hectic because it’s an 8 hour bus ride either way (I don’t know that night travel is available on this route). Check out Scandinavian, Jaguar, and Regional bus services which I believe all serve this route.
I like Kigali quite a bit (with nothing I heard having prepared me for how clean and organized the city actually was), so it might be well worth the trouble to check it out over the weekend.
Whatever you decide, I wish you a wonderful stay in Kampala and Kigali (if you decide to go).
Once you are done with traveling, please come back here to share your experiences!
Thank you for your posts, they are all very informative. My wife and I will be travelling from Nairobi to Kampala around the 28/29 June 2009. When and where can the tickets be purchased?
Welcome to ChickAboutTown! I am glad you find my posts informative.
You can buy Akamba tickets at any of their five offices in Nairobi (I think). I’ve bought tickets, in the past, from three of these offices – the Wabera Office, the Prestige Office, and the Town Office – though I am not too sure whether tickets can be purchased from the Head Office in Industrial Area or the Monrovia Office. For more information, consult the Akamba bus website for the locations and contact information of each of these offices.
In my experience, you can buy tickets up to the day before travel (except during the Christmas and Easter seasons, where a lot more advance booking is recommended). To ensure availability for the desired travel date, I recommend purchasing your tickets at least three days before the expected date of departure.
I hope this information is useful to you. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have further queries.
To the best of my knowledge, Akamba is not a publicly traded company, though I may be wrong. Here’s the company’s website to find out more: http://www.AkambaBus.com. I hope that helps.
Hello Biche,Thanks for the information about Akamba.I had Used Abamba long time ago since i was still studying in kenya…Church army sec.school.i loved Akamba.I traveled using the bus to Greenfields College in Kitale.Now i am in Ny and i plan to come for vacation,so i chose totravel Akamba from kampala.Daniel.
Thanks for your feedback. I wish you a safe and enjoyable trip with Akamba.
I come from Japan. 7-10 years ago, many times I traveled between Kampala and Nairobi by bus, by using different companiese, by traveling night or day time. After all, I decided to take Akamba royal bus because it was so comfortable and I had thought it was the best. Then ever since I did not visit Kenya and Uganda again till last Fall. When I was going to buy a ticket at Akamba, my friend said on a way to Mombasa from kampala by Akamba royal, it was broken down and I was told it is better to travel by schandinavia, but I hardly believed that. So I did not listen my friend’s advice and traveled by Akamba royal from Kampala to Nairobi and my goodness, what my friend said was so true, between Kisumu and Nakuru, it was stopped completely and broken down, had to switch to another bus to ride and we had to wait for 2 hours, plus it was just ecnomy class (nor royal class) and I decided I would never use Akamba royal again…….Well, your article is so corret !!!
Thank you all for your valuable input…i’m driving down to kigali on the 15th of august 2009…would anyone know how long the stop at malaba would be…i heard that they are pretty slow at processing the border crossing…is the busia route perhaps quicker ? and is the busia route a better road ?
might have space for 1…anyone wanting to car pool ?
Sorry, I know I am a bit late responding to your comment. Still, welcome to ChickAboutTown!
Did you end up taking the Malaba route? How long were you stopped at the border (I’ve never used that route in a private vehicle)?
Nairobi is nice place .
Yes, Nairobi is a wonderful place. What in particular makes you say that, though?
may I ask if the bus from Nairobi to Kampala stops at the city of Tororo?
and where is the station in Nairobi?
No, to the best of my knowledge the bus does not stop in Tororo. The Akamba station in Nairobi is near the Fire station on Tom Mboya Street. Here’s a map for clearer directions.
i would like to know if the Akamba royal operates a bus directly from Nairobi to Kigali and what would be the cost.
I wish the both of you a warm welcome to ChickAboutTown.
Jeremiah, Wang is right – Akamba does serve this route (here’s an article to prove it). The cost of a ticket is 20,000 FRw one way, which is approximately $35.
Wang, thank you for answering this question!
Welcome to ChickAboutTown! I am not sure I understand your comment – where exactly are you interested in working?
The night drive to Nbi was terrible as the bus was very very cold forcing me to stay awake & shivering a full 12hrs!
Does Akamba Royal have air conditioning & does it go direct to Kampala without stopping for passangers?Only stopping for toilet breaks.If not,pls recomend other good bus companies I can recommend to a friend.
Welcome to ChickAboutTown! Sorry, it’s taken me so long to respond to your comment.
I haven’t done the Nairobi-Kampala journey in a while, but to the best of my knowledge, yes, Akamba Royal has air conditioning and ONLY stops for bathroom/lunch breaks. In fact, in my experience, all Akamba buses are pretty disciplined about stopping only at official stops (unless there’s a breakdown or something of that nature).
Sorry about the cold. I’ve also spent many nights shivering as I traveled between Nairobi and Kampala. The solution for me was to LAYER my clothes. I learned to do this during cold Canadian winters, and it worked like a charm fighting Rift Valley cold nights. Other than that, I’ve also found that Scandinavia Express offers the best insulation from the night cold. I am not sure that Scandinavia still operates between Nairobi and Kampala, but you could try and find out.
Thanks so much for the kudos!
Just wondering if there are frequent buses from Mbale or Tororo to Nairobi?
Welcome to ChickAboutTown! I have never traveled on that route before, so I cannot say, but I believe there should be. Check directly with Akamba.
Is the route from Nairobi to Kampala on Akamba Royal still 2500.00 KES? At the Malaba border crossing, are visas issued? Is the cost $50 for a visa here? Could I get off at Jinja if I so desired?
Thanks! Your blog has been very helpful!
Welcome to ChickAboutTown! For the most reliable answers, I recommend that you contact Akamba directly. Their website is AkambaBus.com. Off the top of my head: I believe you should be able to get a visa at the Malaba crossing; I am not sure what the current cost for foreign visas to Uganda is right now; and I believe you should be able to get off at Jinja.
Good luck with finding more information for your trip!
I am planning a trip to Kigali at the end of July 2014. Your post i very useful, i however am aware that Akamba is no longer operating. Which service would you recommend?
Welcome to ChickAboutTown and thanks for leaving a comment!
The question you ask is a bit of a difficult one for me to answer because I no longer live in Nairobi but I will try my best to give you a useful answer. If it were me, what I would do would be go to the top of River Road, the side near Fire Station (see map) where most of the buses that travel the region have an office and find one that goes to Kigali. If Regional is still open, then they should operate on that route (warning: I overturned while traveling on Regional so I can’t vouch for their safety!). Otherwise, further down on River Road, Kampala Coach also should serve the Nairobi-Kigali Route, and I’ve used them recently to travel from Dar es Salaam to Kampala. Their buses are spacious and quite comfortable, but alas nothing quite compares to Akamba in terms of safety, reliability, and range of destinations. Good luck on finding the perfect bus for you!
P.S. Out of curiosity, I’d love to know what you eventually settle on and what your experience on that service is. Come back and let me know in another comment!
Thanks for your reply. I never got around to going for the trip. I have been away for work but i am still planning to have an ‘Est African’ trip. For this Easter I am planning to do Kisumu-Kampala-Kigali-Mwanza- Kisumu spending at least two nights in each of these places. I will let you know how it goes.
That sounds like a lot of fun, Kiterana.
How do you plan to travel from Kigali to Mwanza? Is there a bus that plies that route or will you fly?
Want to travel from Nairobi to Kigali..how much is it?
Welcome to ChickAboutTown. Unfortunately, I have never traveled from Nairobi to Kigali in one go, so I have no clue how much it costs. Maybe you can check with a bus service such as Regional.
Welcome to Chick About Town! Yes, sadly Akamba folded after more than 50 years in service.
I have traveled with Kampala Coach before but am yet to try Simba Coach. Thanks for the recommendation and info on the fare. Wow, that’s quite a bit more expensive than I remembered the price when I used to do the journey more often.
Great experience here on long distance road travel. You’ve really taken you time to give details on what it entails and the options one has. Nice one!
I am planning a trip to Kenya and Uganda with my husband and 6 year old child. I was thinking of taking the bus from Nakuru to Kampala or Jinja in the day to see the countryside. Do you know whether there are buses from Nakuru to Kampala or jinja, and should I book tickets in advance or simply just get to Nakuru and hop on a bus?
Welcome to Chick About Town, and thank you for your comment. Yes, there are many buses from Nakuru to Kampala and Jinja. The main route they ply are Nairobi-Kampala, with Nakuru and Jinja both being stops on that route. It should be very easy to get a good bus for the trip you want to make. And I totally understand why you want to make it: the scenery is gorgeous! (I just rode that route last week myself). My preferred bus on this route right now is Modern Coast Express. You could get to Nakuru and just hop on the bus, but you could also buy a ticket once you get to Nairobi. I prefer to purchase my bus tickets a day or two before I travel just to be sure that I will be able to travel on the dates I want.
I couldn’t make the trip out to Kenya & Uganda last year, but planning for this year. Do you still recommend the bus from Nairobi to Kampala? Thinking of hopping on at Nakuru.
My bus recommendation still remains the same. Apparently you can even book them online here: https://modern.co.ke though I have never tried to do that myself.
I wish you a great trip if you make it this time, and happy holidays!
Please am Goodluck by name,I want to travel from cameroon to Kenya Nirobi,how possible is it for me to get there,by road transport,and which transport company can take from cameroon,Or can i go by stoping to nearby contrries first,My destination is Nirobi,and i want to go by road ,anybody with good direction and transport company from cameroon,to enable me get there in kenya.
Welcome to Chick About Town, and thank you for your comment.
Wow, that’s an ambitious journey you are wishing to undertake, but if you make it, I am sure it will be so worth the experience! I have never heard of a bus company that plies the route Cameroon-Nairobi. Looking on Google map, it seems you would have to go through Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Uganda.
The advice I can give you is for the last leg of your journey. For that I recommend taking Modern Coast Express from Kampala to Nairobi. How you get from Cameroon to Kampala, though, I have no clue. I hope that helps somewhat.
In december I hope to go backpacking through uganda for three weeks. After I saw this blog I came up with the idea of taking the bus from Kampala to Nairobi.
Currently I’m looking for a visa for Uganda and Kenya. For this the requirement is to have ticket for leaving the country. Do you know if I can book one if these busses online. So I can maybe apply for a east Africa tourist vision and visit Uganda Kenya and maybe even Tanzania.
Welcome to Chick About Town! I am glad my blog has inspired you to visit more of East Africa. There’s lots to see, and I am sure you’ll have a trip to remember.
I am glad you asked the question, because until I tried to get you an answer, I had no clue that you could book bus tickets between Kampala and Nairobi online.
As you must have read at the top of this post, Akamba is no longer operational. Whenever I bus across East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda) nowadays, I use Modern Coast Express, which I have just learned has an online booking engine (https://modern.co.ke/). I have never used the online booking option but I can vouch for the bus service.
Very True. Modern Coast is the best for this route and possibly in all East African Routes (Kigali, Dar Es Salaam, Arusha, …). I have used the buses and they never disappoint.
mash East Africa is also reliable as a second option.
Modern Coast rocks, I cannot say enough how much! I, not so long ago, spent a journey from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam on Modern Coast watching a season of Game of Thrones on my laptop. Think how fast that journey went. And all because they have power sockets at each seat.
I am not sure I have ever used Mash before. I’ll look out for it if ever I am in a positon where Modern Coast is not available.

Beautifully clever! You design your pieces so well, too. I'm impressed.
I feel like helping him, you pulled my strings with this story too. lovely.
The first line made me cringe and hiss at the same time. The imagery and sensual details are raw. I almost felt sorry for him; I mean I do a little, but then there is hope. The tone makes me feel "he hasn't the strength to rise by himself" yet.
Hasn't the strength to rise by himself, but has the strength given by social power to move on with them. I've been caught in that trap before..
I find myself drawn to the puppeteers in this piece. The self-centered ones pulling the strings, wanting the strings and never understanding the screams. You do a great job of constructing your drabbles+1.
Powerful imagery. In the beginning he doesn't seem to notice the strings. His tentative first steps are curious and new. The dance has the potential for joy. Then he realizes he is being controlled and his "newborn" curiosity transitions to terror.
killer first line, and love the tight construction.

As downtown Chicago ads more and more residents, the ratio of people to greenspace grows increasingly lopsided. That’s part of the reason so many people were happy to see River thth’s newest public park open late last week.
The park is on the west side of Exhibit on Superior (165 West Superior Street), the 35-story residential tower designed by the Loop’s bKL Architecture for Magellan Development and Mac Management. The tower opened earlier this year sporting 298 homes and 109 parking spaces. It’s also supposed to be one of the downtown Chicago buildings with the fewest obstructed views.
The park, designed by Kettlecamp & Kettlecamp, came to fruition at least partially through the prodding of 42nd Ward Alderman Brendan Reilly, who was on hand to witness the giant ceremonial novelty scissors slice through the lime green celebratory banner.
Also there was Pål Svensson, the Swedish sculptor of the park’s focal point, Turning Triangle. Mr. Svensson has produced dozens of pieces of public art since the 80’s and many are on display from mountain tops to freeway tunnels, mostly in Europe.
Another artist present was Jeremy Gentry, who in addition to being a musician, is actually an amenity at Exhibit, along with the fire pits and quartz countertops. Unlike the countertops, Mr. Gentry makes pleasant music in the building’s public spaces for the benefit of the building’s residents. The last time we saw an “artist in residence” as a building amenity, it was in Houston where an elderly woman filled the hallways with giant oil paintings of her feet, alligators, and her feet chasing alligators. Mr. Gentry is a much better amenity.

This chart may be familiar to some, for others like me who has just found it, this will be a very useful one-stop information page for UK spectrum allocations for scanning the bands.
Thanks, Colin! Ofcom has done a fantastic job making this data accessible. Individual maps for each chunk of spectrum can be downloaded as well.

Blackfriars road bridge, with the OXO Tower and Millennium Wheel in the far distance.
This fine bridge was built between 1760-9, and at the time was only the third bridge to be built in the London area.
A statue of Queen Victoria can be seen on the northern side, with the OXO Tower and Millennium Wheel in the far distance.

With so many homes being constructed of wood these days, it's hardly surprising that wood rot repairs are in high demand. Walls, ceilings, and floors are all made of the stuff, and unlike many “artificial” materials, like steel and brick, wood needs a lot of care to keep it in the best condition.
Most of the wood rot in your home doesn’t happen on the inside (as many people imagine), it happens on the exterior where wood is most vulnerable to the elements and pests. Wood rot is most likely to occur in locations where water accumulates but does not quickly evaporate. It slowly seeps into the wood and causes it to become water-logged, opening it up to freeze-thaw weathering as well as mold and fungi.
Where Are You Most Likely To Find Wood Rot In Your Home?
Wood rot is most common in certain parts of your exterior. This is where you should focus your inspections. The first place to look, according to Home Tips For Women.com, is just below the roofline. Most homes have a wooden fascia which can quickly become engorged with water if not correctly treated by the appropriate type of paint. The next place to look is your corner boards - little boards that stick out from the corner of houses. Because they are very exposed, they tend to suffer worst from rot.
You might also want to check the wood trim around doors and windows. These are common points of entry for both fungi and termites. If you think you have termites, Termite Control Plans.com recommends hiring a pest control expert to deal with the problem before it threatens the structural integrity of your home. Keep an eye out for the telltale signs of termite infestation, including dead termite bodies around your window sills.
Finally, check any decking around your home. Garden decking is a prime target for both fungi and pests and is quickly destroyed by the elements if left untreated. Unfortunately, a lot of decking isn’t properly treated by the people who install it, leaving homeowners stressed out and with a large repair bill on their hands.
When it comes to repairing wood rot, you’ve got two options: you can either repair it yourself, or you can hire somebody else to do it. Which you choose depends on a number of factors.
First, do you have the tools and the experience to deal with the problem? If you don’t, you could end up making things worse or not dealing with the issue.
Second, are you able to reach the affected areas of rot from the ground or will you need to use a ladder? If you need to use a ladder and aren’t used to it, you could be putting yourself at risk of injury.
Thirdly, is any of the affected wood essential for the structural integrity of your home? If it is, then you may be putting yourself and your family at risk by trying to carry out repairs yourself.

There is never a "good" time to get sick or hurt oneself, and there most definitely is never a good time to break a bone as I can attest. And yet, I've found that it is in these moments, when we are so overcome by a chronic pain or illness, or perhaps a broken bone, that we learn the most about ourselves and grow in unbelievable ways. Reflecting on my recent wrist fracture, a few key aspects of my recovery jumped out at me about how to truly take care of oneself in crisis. If you are struggling through your own physical or emotional health crisis, maybe these can help.
This aspect of self-care can be the toughest which is why it's listed first. Sometimes it is not easy asking for help but when we are recuperating, there are times when it's a must. And people do want to help! There was plenty that I was not able to do on my own with a fractured wrist in my dominant hand, so I did have to rely on others. Is it always easy to ask for help? No. But in the long run, it may be just what we need to get over the next hurdle.
Life carries on as if nothing has changed regardless of whether we get hurt or sick. But if we are not feeling our best or are limited due to an injury, some things just can't get done "as usual." That's when it is not only OK but necessary to say no, or at the very least, not right now when we are asked to do things we simply can't.
Again, life goes on whether we are healthy or not but priorities need and should change when we are not 100%. If you try to ignore or push past an illness or injury, you're only inhibiting your full recovery and prolonging the condition. It's vital to carve out the necessary time you need to heal whether that means prioritizing 8+ hours of sleep a night or making it to your acupuncture sessions!
When all was said and done, maintaining a clean house just wasn't in the cards for me with a cast on my right wrist. As much as that drove me crazy at times, I had to just embrace the mess and focus on what truly mattered.
As much as we want our recovery to occur overnight or at the very least speed up already, it does take time. Staying present and focused on the moment, one step at a time, will help you mentally get through your recovery. Forced to do everything with my non-dominant hand, I had no choice but to stay focused on the present to complete a task. After awhile things became a lot easier to where I almost forgot about my limitations with having a cast. Just remember to breathe. Remember this too shall pass. Just be in the moment.
What life lessons have you learned from your own health crisis? Share in the comments below!

Welcome g0nz0 to the new place! Glad to have you register!
Luckily for us, the staff we have a special kitchen in the staff lounge that is kept locked.
gimme the key gimme the key!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Gonzo! Smelled something burned, thought you were here Nice to see you!!!
eberhard!! So nice to see you, its been so long! I hope life is treating you well!
Hey good to see you eberhard. Thanks for following us to the new place.
Yeah, I followed here because of recipies Now that I see that Gonzo came also, maybe I'll have second thoughts about getting advice for good cooking here, hehe.
With me here, you can get the very best chef advices!!
I am now working on a new recipe called "The Divorce Cake" for those that wish an easy divorce filed by an unwanted partner that does not want to leave.
Among my other famous recipes are "The Firemen Veggies", so called because the smoke from the carbonization will get firemen to rush to your place (they come to have some of the dinner of course).
It'sa good thing I already ate before coming by. Just my semi-home (we prefer this to Tar paper shack) made Spaghetti with meat sauce. It is a simple recipe I might post to the Open sauce Category sometime. Nice thing about it is it makes 2-3 meals for me since I freeze up the sauce and simply boil up fresh noodles and add a vegetable.
I am not so sure "The Divorce Cake" is a good idea, G0nz0. We have countries working on such things as nuclear and biological weapons, and here you go trying to unleash this fearsome and terrible creation upon the world.
Take a moment to think of the ramifications of such a weapon.

My daughter liked eating this, she wasn't fond of completing the whole meal but she took few spoonfuls of it. It doesn't have a great flavor and taste which kids would eat willingly.
Macaroni and beef is a strange combination for kids to start with. Secondly, I understand it's a quick instant meal on a busy day but the quality is not good. There are no nutrients in this. Possibly these prepackaged meals should come with a vegetable at least.
This is a very convenient meal to prepare. My stepdaughters make this themselves after school; a great snack food.
My oldest daughter will eat it. She normally doesn't finish it but she will eat it for lunch if we have it.
Although this product is convenient-easy to store and somewhat portable, it is not one we cared for. The taste was rather bland. The noodles were kind of mushy. Compared to other children's pasta products it is about equal, but not one I would go out of my way to seek. My youngest child was not fond of this.
These are no good. I would never buy instant meals like this for little kids. So unhealthy.
My Daughter Loves theses thangs. There a good after school snack.
We love having these on hand, makes for easy meals when our nephew is over he loves them!!
An easy meal to make for children!
