Hikkaduwa is a beach town stretched along the Indian Ocean on the south-west coast of Sri Lanka, approximately 120 km south of Colombo (about two hours drive). Known for great surfing, white sandy beaches and huge sea turtles Hikkaduwa is a great place to spend some relaxing days to enjoy Sri Lankan beach life.
There are three main beaches in Hikkaduwa worth knowing about:
- In the south you have Narigama Beach, where our hotel is located. This is the widest and quietest part of the beach in Hikkaduwa. Here you can spot local fishermen in the morning and enjoy a peaceful morning walk, if you'd like.
- All the way to the north is Hikkaduwa Corals Beach, which is a good place for snorkelling and swimming.
- In between these beaches you have a narrower beach where you can find the best surfing spots and lots of local restaurants and bars.
Hikkaduwa has a lot of sights and activities to offer, both on land and at sea. Here are some tips on what to see in the area:
Meet the Sea Turtles
Do you want to see some huge turtels without putting on snorkelig gear and getting your hair wet? Right next to Hikka Tranz hotel there's a spot close to the shore where the big sea turtles are coming to eat sea grass.
Please show the sea turtles respect by not touching them!
You can find good and strong surf waves in Hikkaduwa all year around.
Curry class
Would you like to experience how locals make their rice and curry at home?
We can put you in contact with a local family where you can learn to make 10 different curries in two hours. Everything is done in the traditional way by making the coconut milk by hand and preparing the curry in clay pots.
On the north and south side of Hikkaduwa you'll find lagoons which are surrounded by lush green mangroves. Here you can find a few restaurants with a quiet lagoon view, or join a lagoon tour in a traditional fishing kayak to see old temples and huge bats.
Local Sunday Market
If you want to take a closer look at the local life in Hikkaduwa you shouldn't miss the local Sunday market in Hikkaduwa town. Here you can try fruit and vegetables you've probably never seen before, and find everything from mobile phones to fresh spices.
If you want to experience the market at its liveliest you should come early in the morning.
Buddhist Temples
Kumarakanda Vihara – A few kilometers south of Hikkaduwa town, up a few flight of stairs you will find a beautiful white buddhist temple which looks like a Dutch church. The 1800-century temple contains a several meter long reclining buddha and lots of old wall paintings.
Seenigama Devalaya – Located a few kilometres north of Hikkaduwa this temple is different from others because it is situated on an island 500 meter from the shore.
- For a great night out on Friday, Vibration fills up the dance floor with local drum players and DJ playing great remixes of popular music.
- For dancing and chilling out with sand between your toes, try Chill Space.
- For a calmer evening with a beer or some shisha on the beach, go to Top Secret.
Fish Market
Every morning the fishermen are bringing their catch to the fish market at the southern end of Narigama Beach.
Here you can watch the fishermen unloading their traditional boats and the locals barging for the freshest fish.
Tsunami Museum
A trip to the Tsunami Museum is a must if you wish to understand more about what happened on the December 26th 2004. Over 4000 people was killed by the tsunami only in the Galle area, and a lot of families lost both their homes and their livelihood.
In this museum you can learn more about why tsunamis occur, how it effected Hikkaduwa and what has happened in the years after.
Turtle Hatchery
Sea Turtles in Sri Lanka are struggling to find a grow up safely because of tourism and locals stealing the turtle eggs. At the Sea Turtle Hatchery about 10 km north of Hikkaduwa Rohan has used the last 20 years trying to help the sea turtles. Here you can get up close and watch how the turtles develop from eggs, hatch to cute turtles and then grow to big sea turtles.
Here's a map of all the places mentioned above:

Social Interactions and Societal Relations
A social psychology lab examining how interpersonal interactions translate culturally held prejudices into individual thoughts and actions.

This study examined the joint impact of gender and ethnicity on expectations of general discrimination against oneself and one's group. According to the double-jeopardy hypothesis, women of color will expect to experience more general discrimination than men of color, White women, and White men because they belong to both a low-status ethnic group and a low-status gender group. Alternatively, the ethnic-prominence hypothesis predicts that ethnic-minority women will not differ from ethnic-minority men in their expectations of general discrimination because these expectations will be influenced more by perceptions of ethnic discrimination, which they share with men of color, than by perceptions of gender discrimination. All results were consistent with the ethnic-prominence hypothesis rather than the double-jeopardy hypothesis.

Jack reflects on a season-best result at the Dutch TT, and why he can't wait to tick another great track off his bucket list.
Hi everyone,
Sixth on Sunday at Assen felt like a result that had been coming for a while. We've had some top-10 finishes this year and I reckoned I should have got one when we were at Catalunya a few weeks ago, but sixth was just what we were looking for. It was a pretty eventful race – when isn't it eventful at Assen? – so to get a solid top-six result and feel really comfortable was a big one for us. It's the best result of the season so far and we seem to have been getting closer and closer each time, so I couldn't be happier with that.
Funny thing is, Assen hadn't been that good to me until last year when I won there. I was leading in Moto3 there one year and stupidly crashed out, and then year one in MotoGP in 2015 I didn't even get through the first lap before crashing, and some of the other riders were pretty pissed off with me as some of you might remember. Last year made up for all of that, but this year was pretty good too, considering it was a more 'normal' race than last year when the rain made things pretty crazy.
The weather in Assen seems to change by the minute sometimes, so I wasn't surprised that we ended up with a bit of rain late in Sunday's race, it's almost as if the place wants to get some extra drama in! I said all along over the weekend that I preferred it to be dry even though it went so well for me in the rain last year, and even Sunday morning warm-up when I was on top of the times when it was really raining. By the race, the rain was only really a few spots in some parts of the track for the last eight laps or so, but I was able to get past a few people and then make the most of Johann (Zarco) taking a gamble that it would properly rain and coming in for a bike change.
The track was very greasy and I tried to do my best to stay on and be calm, because it's so easy to make a mistake and ruin the whole thing when it's like that. I was catching the group in front of me but I didn't want to risk too much, and then with four laps to go it started drizzling harder, so I decided to button off a little bit and bring it home. By the time you would have actually considered swapping bikes, there were only three laps left anyway, so it wasn't worth it.
Riding in the rain is alright and I go pretty good at it, but results in the dry mean a bit more because it takes any randomness out of it, makes them seem more legit in a way, so sixth on merit was really good for us.
Going back to a circuit where you keep getting spoken about as the most recent race-winner was pretty cool, I'm not going to lie. Sure, you get a bit over talking about the same thing all the time, but there's worse things to be reminded about every five minutes! It's a special place, Assen, and the fans were amazing here like they always are, 105,000 of them on Sunday from what someone told me. Add that to the history of the place, the track layout … this is one of the special ones, for sure.
There's no rest for us at the moment – we're off to Sachsenring in Germany next weekend and another track I like, even though it's completely different to Assen. And then it's the mid-season break, not that I'll have a full one this year as I get to tick something off the bucket list by racing in the Suzuka 8-Hour, which I was finally able to talk about this week.
Suzuka is a race I've always wanted to do and Honda has given me the chance to do it, so I can't wait, I'm really ecstatic to get the call-up. It'll be amazing to get out there on that circuit, and the guys who have ridden it tell me it's a proper old-school track and one that's a lot of fun. A different style of racing and I'll be learning a lot from the experienced guys, but it'll be good to have a crack at it before we get back to work at Brno in August. I'll go there for two tests before I head home to Australia in the break, then come home for my brother's wedding, and then go back to Suzuka for the race before Brno. It'll be busy for sure, but really looking forward to it. Hopefully we can sign off this first half of the season with another good one in Germany before that.
Cheers, Jack

What does the name Tellico have to do with anything?
I thought about several other names, a few of which were connected with book collections. However, Tellico can handle more than just books, and besides, this is a hobby, so I chose a neat-sounding (to me) name, one taken from a town close to where I grew up.

The October playlist is here! Ft. new tunes from Babe Rainbow, DeVotchKa, Broken Bells, STRFKR and more. 🎶Have a listen below. (PS! Fun fact brought to you from this month's artwork: this image was originally from a toothpaste ad to prevent "morning breath" back in the day!)
Here's the highlights:
Foals next album, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 2, comes out October 18!
I discovered a rad new artist named Goth Babe via music recommendation on Instagram stories a couple weeks back. He writes and records his music in the back of a camper on the California/Oregon coast using solar power. How cool is that?!
Spoon released a rare track titled "Shake it Off", originally recorded circa A Series Of Sneaks, and it is definitely not to be confused with T-Swift.
And finally, Broken Bells is back with a new single as they continue to tease a new album!
April '19 Playlist /
The April playlist is here! Ft. new tunes from Nick Murphy, Peggy Gou, Tame Impala, Interpol and more. 🎶Have a listen below.
Here's the highlights:
Interpol is back with new music and announced an EP dropping May 17.
It's been radio silence on new material since C Duncan's 2016 album release, so he'd kind of fallen off of my radar until last Friday when I was happily surprised by a new album, Health! Brings me back to seeing him and his little Irish accent in Wales.
Lux Prima, the collaborative album between Karen O and Danger Mouse, released mid March and it's been on my heavy rotation since.
Pond has a new full length album AND Tame Impala has a new single! So much love for these Aussies.
Beck and Cage the Elephant teamed up on a new song "Night Running" gearing up for their tour together this summer.
February '19 Playlist /
The February playlist is here! Ft. new tunes from Foals, Beirut, Jenny Lewis, Vampire Weekend and more. 🎶Have a listen below.
Here's the highlights:
Foals announced they will have two new albums out this year!
"Laws of the Universe" is one of my favorite tunes off of Toro Y Moi's new album. The line about James Murphy playing at his house is great. If you know… you know.
Vampire Weekend released two new songs last week. Their first singles in 6 years!
Beirut's new album Gallipoli is out today!
Coachella 2016 /
I told myself I wasn't going to Coachella this year. "Last year was the last time", I said. "It's getting too trendy", I said. "There's so many other better festivals out there," I said...
Then LCD Soundsystem was announced as a headliner and I changed my mind instantly. They had broken up before I ever had the chance to catch a show. This was redemption.
Jackson, Emily and I lucked out and all got Weekend 1 tickets off of friends and magically found a condo to stay in.
Here's how the weekend went down:
We rolled up just in time to catch a bit of Lapsley in the Mojave tent, then stayed there for HEALTH. Who you'll probably either love or hate. I have moments with them... sometimes they get a bit too screamy (like that time I saw them at the Echoplex and had a headache for like 4 days straight).
Then we headed over to the Coachella stage where we obviously stayed until LCD came on so we could stake out our front row spots.
Years & Years sort of kept forgetting his lyrics? Which felt weird... I'm guessing it had something to do with stage fright / shock that he was actually performing at Coachella. Other than that though he put on a good show.
Foals was awesome. The lead guy, Yannis Philippakis, ALWAYS crowdsurfs at his shows. So if you're into that I'd suggest getting front and center. (We chilled to the side a bit on this set before working our way in - the rail strategy is proven to work!)
Of Monsters and Men felt like one big sing-a-long and I loved it. M83's set was a total dream. I'm not super into her music, but Ellie Goulding REALLY knows how to work a stage.
Now for the good part.
All in all, we waited 8 hours to be front row.
Some girl in a group next to us legitimately peed into a bottle since there was no physical way she could make it out of the crowd and back to her same spot. That's commitment. But then she left to go see Jack U instead! On second thought, maybe it wasn't commitment... it was probably just drugs.
I'm sort of sad I missed The Last Shadow Puppets and Sufjan Stevens, but sacrifices had to be made for James Murphy.
The sacrifices were worth it because we got to front row for this glorious show. Look for me in this LCD Soundsystem Fans video that Coachella made: I'm the girl with the glitter smeared all over my face, obv.
He played "Losing my Edge" and it felt way too real hearing muffled sounds from Jack U's show as James sang the lyrics "The kids are coming up from behind." The festival was sort of split with people who were either there for LCD Soundsystem, or Jack U which was pretty surprising to me.
I aspire to have this giant disco ball in my life. I also really missed out on the opportunity to rock my disco ball make-up for this show.
Other song highlights were Dance Yrself Clean, Tribulations, Daft Punk is Playing at my House and New York I Love You.
I expected Daft Punk to actually show up for that song, but it was still great without that happening.
It was a legendary show; I can't wait to dance myself clean again at FYF!
On Saturday, we didn't get to the festival until 3ish. We had a nice, relaxing morning with a good amount of mimosa time.
We started off with Gary Clark Jr. who absolutely shredded it. There's SO much soul in that guy; it made it worth the fact we were standing in around 90 degree weather with no shade to see him!
Here's a video I took of a massive jam sesh moment.
.@GaryClarkJr bringing that 🔥 #Coachella2016 pic.twitter.com/NZ57VMZ3hj— Ticketmaster (@Ticketmaster) April 17, 2016
The Arcs and Unknown Mortal Orchestra were definitely my favorite performances of the day.
Dan Auerbach, (of Black Keys / lead guy in The Arcs), always delivers. He also had a couple of guest appearances: Joe Walsh of The Eagles, and 78 year old Glenn Schwartz formerly from Pacific Gas and Electric.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra is a more mellow band, but they seriously step it up for a live show! Talk about a dance party.
In the midst of all the music, we also had to find time to grab some food and drinks. Below are two very opposite things: coconut water and a gin craft cocktail. Both are necessities to surviving Coachella.
If you're going weekend 2, you can find these cocktails in the Craft Beer Garden. They're $15 (yikes!) but might be a better deal than some of the beers. Pick your poison.
Here's me pre-festival (post-mimosas) with my Bando pineapple sunnies on.
The final day!
De Lux was the first show of the day; this is a band from LA with guys who look like they're fresh outta high school. I discovered them through KCRW last summer and even got to catch a free show at the Hammer Museum. They've got a Talking Heads disco-y vibe to their music and they're great!
Tei Shi was the only time we made it to the Gobi tent (the one with the ceiling covered in chandeliers). When the lead singer first came out, she looked teary eyed when saying "The band was just backstage laughing nervously that there would only be like 3 people in the audience. Thank you SO much for coming out". There was definitely A LOT more than 3 people out there.
Watching Matt and Kim from inside the beer garden was really fun. Their giant beach balls even made their way over at one point! Did you know they're together? And VERY open about their relationship?
Cold War Kids! I'd never seen them before and have always wanted to, so this was a good moment. Here's me jumping around with our totem, Cornelius the Cactus to "Hang me up to Dry".
Sia's performance was absolutely stunning. It felt as if a music video was happening right before our eyes. She had special guest appearances from Tig Notaro, Kristen Wiig and Paul Dano (ft. in this neverending gif below).
And of course, Maddie Ziegler, the little girl from all of her music videos was there too.
Miike Snow closed out our Coachella for us with a bang. I got to hear Animal, which is all I really need in life.
It felt like the weekend went by incredibly fast, and I definitely didn't want it to end.
Depending on the lineup... I'd go to Coachella again.
Something I'm really looking forward to is end of August / beginning of September. Reason being is I'm going to have 6 days filled with music! FYF is on Aug. 27 and 28 and then I'm going to Wales for a 4 day festival called Festival No. 6. The best part is Hot Chip is headlining both of them! AND it's during my birthday weekend.
'Til then I'll be going to shows here and there to tie me over; like Blackbird Blackbird tonight!

UK Football
For Drew Barker and family, 'it's been a tough football season'
During what became Kentucky's epic football upset of Louisville on Nov. 26, Terry Barker had an enhanced viewing experience.
Terry's son, Drew Barker, began 2016 as UK's starting quarterback. The Conner High School product made it through three starts before the effects of a back injury ended his season.
After an attempt to rehabilitate through non-surgical means failed, Barker underwent surgery on the Tuesday before the Kentucky-Louisville football game. So for the Cats-Cards grudgefest, a recovering Barker was planted on the family couch — along with a script of UK's offensive plays.
"The first play, we knew what was coming," Terry Barker said of Kentucky's initial foray from scrimmage — which became a 75-yard touchdown bomb from Stephen Johnson to Garrett Johnson.
"Drew would be like, 'They're going Ryan Timmons here or Jeff Badet there.' I never watched a football game before with someone who could tell you exactly what was going to happen before it happened. It was pretty cool."
For father and son, it was a pleasant shared experience at the end of a football season filled with adversity.
Over the first half of the first game of 2016, a Kentucky product starting at QB for UK lived a shared dream with his family. At the season opener against Southern Mississippi, "we had a big tailgate, and we were grilling," Terry Barker recalled. "Everyone was really excited."
That night, Drew Barker threw for 287 yards and four touchdowns in the first half as Kentucky took a 35-17 halftime lead.
"It almost seemed like magic," Terry Barker said. "This was a kid who had been playing football since he was 6. He'd always talked about being a Division I football player, an SEC football player. As a parent, you were sitting there watching your child live out his dream."
The dream was headed for a rude interruption.
Barker lost two fumbles and threw an interception as Southern Miss outscored Kentucky 27-0 in the second half to pull out a 44-35 victory.
Things got worse for the QB the following week in a 45-7 loss at Florida. On UK's first play from scrimmage, Alex Anzalone, a rugged 6-foot-3, 238-pound linebacker, roared untouched into the Kentucky backfield and found himself with a clean shot on the Wildcats quarterback.
Anzalone did not waste it.
"I don't know whether that was the play where Drew got hurt or whether it just exacerbated something that already existed," Terry Barker said. "But, to me, Drew didn't look right from that play (forward)."
The redshirt sophomore QB tried to go the next week against New Mexico State, but lasted only one series. Though Drew Barker's malady would ultimately be termed a back injury, his father says the pain that sidelined him was in his right leg.
"Look, I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV," Terry Barker joked. "But, apparently there is a nerve tree that runs out of the right side of your spine down to your right leg and one that runs out of the left side down to your left leg. And there was something putting pressure on Drew's right side (nerves) that was causing his (right) leg to really hurt."
The initial plan was to rehabilitate the injury without surgery. "Drew started out believing he would be back on the field this year," Terry Barker said.
That didn't happen.
"I think it's fair to say (Drew's) leg hurt every day," Terry Barker said. "Some days, it hurt more than others. In some ways, he kind of got used to it hurting. But, some days, just doing what a college student has to do — walking to class, sitting in class, carrying a book bag — was really painful for him."
That explains why, on the same day Dr. R. Carter Cassidy, a UK orthopedic surgeon, performed surgery on Drew Barker's back, the quarterback was raising his right leg in the air with glee.
"Because it didn't hurt anymore," Terry Barker said. "As back surgeries go, this was at the lower level in terms of risk. They didn't have to put anything in and they didn't have to take anything out. They just relieved that pressure."
While Drew Barker waited for his leg to stop aching, his football team got well.
With junior-college transfer Stephen Johnson stepping in at quarterback, Mark Stoops' Cats found an offensive identity behind running backs Boom Williams and Benny Snell and a physical offensive line.
After an 0-2 start, Kentucky finished 7-3, won four SEC games, upset No. 11 U of L and earned a berth opposite Georgia Tech in the TaxSlayer Bowl.
"It was hard for Drew not to be out there, so in that way it's been a tough football season," Terry Barker said. "But Drew was really happy for his teammates."
Terry Barker said his son hopes to start throwing the football and doing some running in January. "Again, I'm not a doctor, but I would guess he might have some limited (participation) in spring practice and, hopefully, be ready to go by fall," Terry Barker says.
However you feel philosophically about players not losing starting jobs to injury, it's hard to conceive of Johnson not beginning 2017 as UK's starting quarterback, especially after he outdueled likely Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson in the victory over Louisville.
"Stephen's done great, especially in the Louisville game," Terry Barker said. "But it's like I told Drew, 'Even when it's not always apparent on the front end, things happen for a reason.' Drew is as determined a kid as I've ever been around. He's going to come back and compete."

If you ever wondered what this little button called the System restore is all about. Well… be curious no more, we are about to explain it here in detail. System restore is an application which is found in windows, and it is used in restoring the computer to a previous state. The good thing about the system restore is the fact that it does not lose the critical data or files that may be on the system. It allows the user to select the time to which they want the computer to be reverted to. System restore function is available in different windows like windows 10, 8, 7, XP and windows me. When should one use system restore function?
When updates undo your system
Most windows computers are set such that they will automatically update maybe on daily or after some time. Therefore if some updates occur on your device, they end up deleting or undoing some previous activities that you were doing earlier on. In some cases, the updates interfere with your email downloads such that they hinder you from accessing your data on emails or you are unable to download data from emails. So, to restore your device to an earlier state, go to restore system wizard and choose the time and the date you wish to restore the system back to. This allows you to be able to access your email documents comfortably. Note that if the updates keep on occurring daily, the same problem will still happen. So, set your computer to notify you when it is about to update or allow you to select the updates that you want to be done on the system. This helps you prevent the issue from happening all the time. You can read more here about the data recovery options available.
If a program is interfering with your system
Some programs cause significant issues to the system such that they slow down the functioning of the computer or they cause the device to hang or even cause the computer to crash. If this continues to occur when using the device, you can also apply the system restore function to get your device to a previous mode. Keep in mind that once you reset the computer to an earlier state before you installed the nagging program, you will not be able to use or access it since it will be unavailable on the device. This means that anything that you installed after the date that you want to restore the system to will be automatically erased from the computer, and you cannot access it. While this might cause some minor issues, it certainly is much faster and cheaper than having to use a data recovery service such as data recovery Houston, or using some commercial software and not knowing if it will solve the issue.
If there is a new driver that is not working well
Have you installed a new driver for your computer but the computer is not functioning well? It could be the driver that is causing the computer to dysfunction, and if you don't want to remove it, the other reliable option is by opting to restore the system. You can reset the system to a week earlier or even a day earlier before you installed the drive to the computer. Again keep in mind that the restore function does not solve the issue with your installed drive, but instead it helps you access your files. Thus if you want to troubleshoot the problem with the drive, you will have to seek help from a computer technician.

The World Cup 2014 is just around the corner – it starts June 12 – and is being held in host country Brazil. Here at Little Pim, we're excited to share our love of both the Portuguese language and Brazilian culture with our friends. To get you ready for some world class World Cup watching, we have two easy Brazilian recipes – one savory and one sweet – great for small hands to help create.
Vamos comer! (Let's eat!)
Savory Treat: Pão de Queijo (cheese puffs)
These savory cheese puffs are crisp on the outside, rich and chewy on the inside. They're a popular treat in Brazil for an afternoon snack or pre-meal nibble –although we think they're also perfect for watching Futebol (soccer)!
- 1 cup tapioca starch
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup plus 2 tbsp. flour
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- ½ tsp. active dry yeast
- ¾ cup milk
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 eggs
- Heat oven to 350°.
- In a large bowl, whisk together tapioca starch, Parmesan, flour, salt, and yeast. Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until butter melts. Pour mixture into dry ingredients along with 1 egg and stir until dough forms; cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
Kids cook:
- Using a tablespoon, portion out dough and roll each into a ball. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets, spaced 2" apart; beat remaining egg in a small bowl and brush balls with egg.
- Bake until browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
Makes 16
Sweet Treat: Brigadeiros (Chocolate fudge balls)
These fudgy truffles are a favorite dessert throughout Brazil. We say "Gooooaaallll" for the easy recipe and yummy sprinkles on top.
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp. heavy cream
- 2 (14 oz.) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 3 oz. semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 1 cup chocolate sprinkles
- Bring butter, cream, and milk to a boil in a 4-qt. saucepan over medium heat.
- Add chocolate and cocoa powder, and reduce heat to low; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is the consistency of dense, fudgy batter, about 16 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl; let cool. Chill until set, at least 4 hours.

From where do the tours start - can I start from La Paz?
All of the tours of the Salar de Uyuni start in Uyuni. The tours will not include your transfer from La Paz; you will need to organise and pay for this separately. The buses to Uyuni are overnight, departing from La Paz every evening, and arriving into Uyuni the next day at about 7:00am. You are able to start a tour on the same morning, as tours start from 10:00am. We recommend the bus company Todo Turismo, as it is the most well-known among travellers.
I heard that I can finish this tour in Chile...Is that possible?
It is possible to get a transfer onto San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. On the third day in the morning, after the visit to the Green Lake, the car will take you to the border line, which is 35 minutes away from the Green Lake. Once at the border, the tour guide will help you to swap into a bus. This bus will take you to San Pedro from the border (a 1-hour ride), and you will get to San Pedro by 1:00 pm (Chile time), on the third day of tour. The drop off is at San Pedro de Atacama's main square. The tour price includes the transfer onto San Pedro.
Do I need to stay one night in Uyuni before and after my tour?
You will arrive into Uyuni early in the morning, so it is possible to start a tour the day you arrive. Most of the tours will start at 10:30am or 11:00am. You will return to Uyuni by 17:30pm or 18:00pm, giving you time to eat and head back on the overnight bus to La Paz, or even take a bus onto Potosi / Sucre. It is advised that you book these buses before doing your tour of the Salt Flats. By following this itinerary, it is not necessary to stay in Uyuni.
What kind of weather can we find in Uyuni Salt Flats?
From June to September, you will find the lowest temperatures. Generally, it is cold, dry, and windy, and can easily reach -15 °C at night. Daytime temperatures can be between 5 and 10°C, and even increase a little more. The temperatures from January to May increase until at a comfortable level, and particularly in the day it can easily reach 19°C. However, the humidity from rain can cause a drop in the temperature.
How does the wet season affect the tours?
Salt flat (Salar de Uyuni) tours leave year-round, including during the wet season. In fact, many people try to visit during the wet season, in order to see the "mirror effect" of the water sitting atop of the salt flats and reflecting the sky, which is an incredible sight. This is caused when the water table below the salt flats has risen enough to cause the water to sit on top of the salt. It is fine to visit the area when there is a certain amount of water, but when it becomes too deep (after long, sustained periods of rainfall in consecutive days) some places can become inaccessible, such as Isla Incahuasi. These must then be omitted from the tours, but we can usually continue visiting other parts of the salt flats. Also, the area to the south (with the coloured lakes, geysers, hot springs etc) is usually not affected, so tours are not cancelled completely.
Are there additional costs?
The entrance fees for the attractions will not be covered. On a 3D/2N tour, the cost will be Bs180 in total (Bs150 for the Eduardo Avaroa National Park, and Bs30 for the Isla del Pescado). For the full day tour, the additional fees will be Bs30. Also, if you would like a hot shower on the first night, there will be an additional cost of approx. Bs15. Make sure you bring small change for bathrooms along the way.
What should I bring to the tour?
Bring a torch, because the lights go out when the generator runs dry. Take coins and small bills, as the bathrooms aren't free. Don't forget sunglasses, a camera with spare batteries, extra water, sunscreen and a hat, a sleeping bag, extra snacks (especially fruit and protein), lip balm (the sun, wind, and dry air will crack them up), and your passport. Take warm clothes (layers are best) for nights, as temperatures can get very low. Bring a t-shirt for daytime use, a jumper for the evenings, a warm jacket, gloves, and woollen socks for the night-time. Also, remember comfortable walking shoes, flip-flops (for shared restroom facilities), a swimsuit, a towel, and a raincoat (for the rainy season, from December to March).
Will I have problems with altitude sickness on this tour?
Altitude sickness can catch many travellers a little bit off guard. Not everyone gets sick in high altitudes, and it is difficult to predict who is likely to be badly affected by it. For most people, it is nothing more than a headache and a dizzy sensation that diminishes over a short period of time, 1 to 2 days for most people. If you want to limit your chances of getting sick, there are a few things you can do. Firstly, do not fly directly into high altitude - proceed slowly, allowing your body time to acclimatise as you ascend gradually. However, for many that is not possible, so it's important to drink lots of water, and to slow down! This sounds simple, but both of these things are very important. Your body is struggling because you don't have enough oxygen, so avoiding any strenuous activity is a good idea. Chew some coca leaves - the native people of South America have been chewing coca for centuries, thanks to its ability to alleviate mild altitude sickness symptoms. Coca leaves can be bought in any supermarket, and even souvenir shops or street stalls. Take altitude sickness pills (Soroche): these are sold over the counter all over Peru and Bolivia, and are just a few dollars. If you are flying straight into altitude over 2500 metres without spending any time at an intermediate elevation, and you're worried about getting sick, you can ask your doctor for more specific and stronger altitude sickness medication in advance. In the rare case that your symptoms are more severe than a headache and mild dizziness, you should descend in altitude and seek medical assistance.
Are there ATMs and an internet connection?
Bring money with you, as sometimes the ATMs do not work in Uyuni – it's best to have money prior to arrival. There is no internet connection on the tour, as the places that you'll visit are in very remote locations.
I have heard and read awful stories about the drivers being drunk, and terrible car accidents happening?
We only work with the best tour operators in Uyuni, and they monitor their drivers closely to ensure that there are none of these issues. We know there are many rogue operators in Uyuni with bad reputations, and for this reason we only offer tours with selected operators that we feel we can trust.
Do you sell any Uyuni Salt Flats tour over the Christmas / New Year period?
We do not sell any Uyuni Salt Flats tours from December 23rd through to January 6th because of safety concerns. Specifically, this is due to the high number of drunk driving incidents that occur on Salt Flats tours during this time. We don't sell tours with any tour operator that we work with, and we think it is best to avoid the dangers and problems that occur at this time of year.
Can I pay to upgrade my hotels on the Salt Flats tours?
No, you can't. Unfortunately, we do not offer the option to upgrade accommodation because this would involve separating groups to different areas, and it is considered as a private tour by the tour operators.
Where I will be staying in Uyuni for the 2 nights?
On the first night, you will stay in a salt hostel called "Nuevo Amanecer" in Atulcha, in a 4 to 6 bed dorm. Each dorm has a private toilet. If you want to take a hot shower, the price is 10 Bs per person. On the second night, you will stay in a shelter point called "Efames" in Polques, in a big dorm for 5 to 6 people. You will need to use a shared bathroom.
Why book with FindLocalTrips.com?
Apart from our low-price guarantee, with us you can be 100% assured that your booking is made. We provide instant email confirmation, and have live spaces and availability for each tour. You are in the capable hands of our team here on the ground, with 20 local experts who speak perfect Spanish and English, always ready with a quick response to any of the questions you might have.

Blair stood up in the House of Commons and frightened them out of their wits
Warning them that Saddam Hussein was about to blow them to bits.
Hinting that he might have seen weapons sites on a secret, secret map.
Why didn't they all stand up and shout "That's crap, that's crap, that's crap!"
Blair and Bush went to United Nations for permission to go to war,
They got a clear answer "Non!" "Nein!" "Nyet" We know what you want it for"
"Oo Noo it's not for oil, we want to get the weapons before they mass destruct,
We don't want to wait around intil you've all properly been.... and looked"
Blairr on TV "Saddam ...y'know...is a very bad man..he's done terrible things... in Iraq"
Told Us! We, who protested against Hussein in the 1980's, way back!
And listed the ghastly tortures, to us, who know all about the regime,
And we know who in the West promoted them like a favourtite football team.
Well, they went to war with their cluster bombs and weapons that are so smart
But when it came to friends, enemies, children, they couldn't tell them apart.
Bush to his men "Well the war's kinda over now, and we're proud of our success.
But there's still that country... Middle East... that's in a doggone mess.
and we've gotta get that bloke Ben Lardy and them fellas called Al,
We're gonna smoke 'em out, round 'em up and drive 'em all into one corral"
Blair and Bush spent BILLIONS on forcing world peace through war
And nothing left for the world's children dying of hunger thirst and violence, disease,
and that's what sticks in my craw!
(I will willingly take back that last line if Bush freely, altruistically, and without any strings
attached, every cent of the money he has promised to give to the world's poor)
Hazel Rennie, 2003.

Upon arriving home yesterday, my nose was greeted by a delightful smell. I see my lil miss sitting at the kitchen table. I then hear the timer go off and she gets up and removes another tray of chocolate chip cookies from the oven.
She informed me that she had prepared biscuits for dinner earlier in the day. Now, she was finishing up the batch of cookies she made that afternoon.
Ok, I admit it, my heart swelled a bit. My daughter may be a challenge when she has to read a book or complete a math assignment, but creating food from scratch is something she is beginning to excel at.
I am proud of her initiative for wanting to bake items for her family. She still helps prepare dinner and can make a few dishes completely on her own. She has already mastered a full course breakfast. There's something about me eating egg-cups at work (that I made) and seeing a picture of her eggs, bacon, toast and hash browns that she prepared for herself.
I have no doubt, as a teenager, she will be able to help me even more by preparing dinner so I won't have to. She's turning into an amazing young adult. At the end of this year, I'll officially have a teenager on my hands. I think we will both come through those "challenging" years relatively unscathed.

At the Austin Graffiti Wall/
I am a fan of graffiti. There, I said it. I know lots of folks don't like it and consider it ugly or a nuisance (or both) - and in some cases it is. But many times, I find that it is beautiful. I have seen some incredible stuff in my travels, and these folks are true artists.
There is an awesome spot here in Austin which is a graffiti wall - it's open for graffiti artists to go crazy on, which I consider a great idea. It gives them a place to artistically express themselves, without defacing someone else's property (which is most people's issue with graffiti, I assume).
I was there recently and fired away for a bit, taking home a LOT of photos. So, here's the first one - pretty cool huh?

When Is A Dead Baby Not A Dead Baby?
Lori Stodghill was 31-years old, seven-months pregnant with twin boys and feeling sick when she arrived at St. Thomas More hospital in Cañon City on New Year's Day 2006. She was vomiting and short of breath and she passed out as she was being wheeled into an examination room. Medical staff tried to resuscitate her but, as became clear only later, a main artery feeding her lungs was clogged and the clog led to a massive heart attack. Stodghill's obstetrician, Dr. Pelham Staples, who also happened to be the obstetrician on call for emergencies that night, never answered a page. His patient died at the hospital less than an hour after she arrived and her twins died in her womb.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, Stodghill's husband Jeremy, a prison guard, filed a wrongful-death lawsuit on behalf of himself and the couple's then-two-year-old daughter Elizabeth. Staples should have made it to the hospital, his lawyers argued, or at least instructed the frantic emergency room staff to perform a caesarian-section. The procedure likely would not have saved the mother, a testifying expert said, but it may have saved the twins.
Terrible story. But get this: the Catholic hospital is defending itself by saying that state law holds that children not born alive are not persons:
As Jason Langley, an attorney with Denver-based Kennedy Childs, argued in one of the briefs he filed for the defense, the court "should not overturn the long-standing rule in Colorado that the term 'person,' as is used in the Wrongful Death Act, encompasses only individuals born alive. Colorado state courts define 'person' under the Act to include only those born alive. Therefore Plaintiffs cannot maintain wrongful death claims based on two unborn fetuses."
As a technical legal matter, I suppose the hospital's defense lawyers are correct. But good grief, what an incredibly hypocritical stance for a Catholic hospital to take: saying that unborn children are not persons if it doesn't suit the interests of a Catholic institution.
Where is the Archbishop of Denver? Come on, man.

Tags: Clinique, Eye Care, Launch
My Review of the original Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus is, and always has been, one of my most read posts on the blog. The Serum was really very impressive indeed and I got fantastic results from it so I'm very excited about the newest Clinique launch.
Did you know a woman smiles at least 75 times a day? Apparently that's a fact although for this harrassed Mum of two it really doesn't feel like it 😉
Anyway, Introducing Repairwear Laser Focus Eye Cream.
The cream claims to repaire UV damage and protect against environmental aggressors, as well as visibly improving the appearance of lines and wrinkles and overall texture, including crepey eyelids, under eye cross hatching and crows feet and it claims to strengthen the moisture barrier.
The active ingredients are the same as those in the serum so I have high hopes for this one.
It's available now, from Clinique counters nationwide and of course www.clinique.co.uk and I expect this will be very popular indeed.
*Disclosure – PR sample*
I've got this issue with Clinique eye creams that at first they seem to work wonders at first, but when they are completely absorbed they feel horribly dry and leave my eye are actually more wrinkled than before. How does this one work cause it sems like it's worth giving a go

The Bay Area is in for a weather rollercoaster ride.
A light storm system that swept into the region Monday is expected to give way to significantly warmer temperatures through the end of the work week. But cool and windy conditions are on tap for Saturday, according to the National Weather Service office in Monterey.
"We'll have a rollercoaster-type weather pattern this week," said meteorologist Rick Canepa.
Up to a quarter of an inch of rain could fall before the storm system moves out of the area Tuesday, according to the weather service. But as of 5:15 p.m. Monday, 24-hour totals included .04 inches in Napa, .01 inches in San Jose and trace amounts in Hayward.
An upper level ridge is forecast to build into California, resulting in noticeably warmer temperatures Wednesday through Friday, according to the weather service. Thursday is expected to be the warmest day of the week, with the mercury climbing into the low 80s in some inland locations, including San Jose, Livermore and Concord.
Cooler temperatures are set to return by the weekend.
"Wind will be the main feature to watch," said Canepa, adding that 20 to 30 mph speeds are expected.

Greenlee Field
|Bedford Ave. & Chauncey St.
Hill District
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
United States
|Gus Greenlee
|April 29, 1932
|Construction cost
($1.65 million in 2018 dollars[1])
|Pittsburgh Crawfords 1932 - 1938
Homestead Grays 1932 – 1937
|July 17, 2009[2]
Greenlee Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, was the first black-built and black-owned major league baseball field in the United States.
The field was the dream of Gus Greenlee, owner of the Pittsburgh Crawfords. In 1931, construction started on Bedford Avenue between Chauncy and Duff in Pittsburgh's Hill District; the park opened on April 29, 1932, and reportedly cost $100,000. The first game was the next day, April 30, 1932, and had future hall of famers Satchel Paige pitching to catcher Josh Gibson as City Council members, the Allegheny County commissioners, and Mayor Kline watched from the stands. Greenlee Field held 7,500 spectators and it was the home field for the Crawfords throughout the Great Depression era; the Homestead Grays also played there for a time.
Greenlee Field was located a few blocks up Bedford Avenue from Ammon Field, home to the Pittsburgh Keystones. Contemporary city directories list the ballpark's address as 2501 Bedford Avenue. Greenlee was forced to shut out blacks from ballpark jobs during the 1938 season; this angered the team's fans, and attendance lagged as a result. After the season, the Crawfords disbanded and Greenlee Field was torn down; the Bedford Dwellings housing project was later developed on the property.
The Pittsburgh Steelers used the field for in-season practices during the 1930s.[3]

HighlightsNaxos | summit of Mt. Fanari | Amorgos | Koufonisi | Iraklia
Description of Naxos and the small Cyclades walking holiday, GreeceThis ten day walking holiday starts on the island of Naxos, the largest of Greeces Cyclades islands, and one that is worthy of our first four days of hiking and exploring. A mountainous terrain, Naxos boasts the highest peak in the Cyclades with Mount Zas (1003m) where Olympian god Zeus spent his time. The mountains are dotted with exquisite elevated villages proffering splendid views out over the Aegean. Byzantine chapels, Venetian citadels and olive groves line ancient walking trails that take you up through the islands luscious valleys, fed by springs, rivers and waterfalls. All of which seem to lead down to prolific and beyond pretty coves and bays.
From here to the Small Cyclades, which are much more isolated and relatively undiscovered. From Amorgos, famous for being the stunning location for film director Luc Bessons iconic film, Big Blue, to Iraklia with its 30km coastline of pure littoral loveliness. They may be small, but they are all pretty packages when it comes to walking holiday delights, Greece never letting you down in terms of traditional culture and fine natural heritage.
Read our sample itinerary below, although we are always flexible according to group needs and interests. This trip can be shortened to seven days or extended to a fourteen day walking holiday, with a recommended four days in Santorini, another world of dramatic volcanic terrain, a fine addition to this walking holiday.
Day-by-day experiences
|Day 1:
|Arrive at Naxos where you will be met at the harbour and then onwards to your family run guesthouse. Taking time to chill out at the beach after your journey, we will have a briefing session about the walking holiday itinerary, followed by dinner at one of our favourite Naxos tavernas.
|Day 2:
|We start on a high, walking to the summit of Mt. Fanari today, starting off at one of the islands prettiest villages, Apiranthos, located in its shadow. A traditional village crammed with historical influences that can be seen in the elegant marble alleyways, the Venetian forts and lookouts, and traditional white washed houses. From here, we hike up through magnificent rocky countryside, discovering two more stunning villages en route. Kaloxylos is adorned not only with olive and oak trees, but also flowers everywhere from courtyards to squares. And Chalki village, which is where we rest our feet at the end of the day and reward ourselves with a fine organic dinner, with restaurateurs who pride themselves on growing their own produce. This really is food from terrace to taverna.
|Day 3:
|Setting off from Filoti village, todays hike takes us to the top, into the lap of the gods at Mount Zas, named after Zeus who is said to have spent his childhood on this splendid island. Hard to see why he wouldnt, when you look out at the magnificent views out across this land that is like a heaven for hiking, the azure Aegean, islands and the Cycladic archipelago scattered all around. This remote spot is also a safe habitat for a bevy of birdlife, including griffon vultures, which soar serenely around the summit. So bring your binoculars. On our descent we will stop at the famous and impressive Zas Cave which, as well as having superb stalagmites and stalagtites, has chambers pushing over 10m in length. We complete our day on the mountain in the shade enjoying the cooling waters of Argion, a historic source for the island.
|Day 4:
|Our final day of walking on Naxos, we start in Koronos, a remote village set perfectly into the hillside 30km from Naxos town. Following one of many stepped trails through the village we hike a trail that emanates the aroma of wild herbs just about everywhere. Add wild orchids and other native flowers to oregano, thyme or lavender, and you have quite a heady mix. Such a stunning trail should only lead to an equally stunning beach, and our final stop at the waterside in Lionas will not disappoint. Nor will its superb fish restaurant where we dine tonight.
|Day 5:
|Leaving Naxos, we head to the island of Amorgos, known as the pirate island because it was vulnerable to attacks over the centuries, leaving its magnificent monasteries, churches and castle deserted over several different periods of time. This cultural heritage is one of its biggest pulls for visitors now and, on todays hike we will take on a ancient path that loops its way through traditional villages of Langada, Tholaria and Stroumbos. Basing ourselves in the exquisite Aegiali Bay, you will be able to see why film director Luc Besson located his film, Big Blue, here. Dinner at a local mezedopolio where traditional music is often to be heard.
|Day 6:
|Exploring Amorgos famous hora, with ancient churches, white stone houses and maze of alleyways, we continue along an ancient trail that leads to one of the islands most magnificent site: the Hozoviotissa monastery. Built right into the cliff face overlooking the Aegean, this white washed architectural marvel is said to have been constructed to give safe haven to a statue of the Virgin Mary, which had come all the way from Palestine. Our hike continues all the way to Aegiali Bay, with never ending views out past the islands deserted villages, steep cliffs and across the Aegean. Finishing our day in Aegiali Bay again, our day of walking through the heart of the island will be toasted and celebrated at one of the oldest restaurants on Amorgos.
|Day 7:
|Today we head to another of the Small Cyclades islands, this time Koufonisi, most celebrated for its gamut of gorgeous blues, turquoise and crystalline waters at a collection of perfect beaches. Helped by the fact that it actually made up of two islands, namely Pano or Upper Koufonisi and Kato or Lower Koufonisi. Both knockouts.
|Day 8:
|Probably one of the most untouched by tourism in the Small Cyclades, today we take a boat to Iraklia, where we arrive into its main fishing village of Ag. Georgios, with multi-coloured fishing boats welcoming us like pretty glistening lanterns. Our hike today is to its beckoning peak, where vultures soar and views astound. As will dinner at one of Iraklias favourite and most characterful spots, Marias Place, who grows her own and prepares every ingredient with skill and love
|Day 9:
|A second day of walking on Iraklia takes us along ancient Cycladic trails through deserted sites such as the village Ag. Athanasios. We also have time to explore a huge cave at Ag. Ioannis. With a small entrance, it opens up into a vast cavern or hall where, every year, villagers hold a celebration. We celebrate the eve of this wonderful walking holiday in Greece with a swim and picnic at a remote bay, only accessible by foot. And, after one more coastal hike, have dinner at a top fish tavern, where catch of the day is guaranteed to be local. The owner is the fisherman.
|Day 10:
|Return ferry to Naxos for those who are finishing their trip here or to Santorini if you choose to extend your walking trip to this neighbouring volcanic virtuosity. On Naxos you will hopefully have time for some beach bliss, or a wander around Naxos atmospheric, ancient town centre. And farewell in our traditional style, with a wonderful dinner at a top tavern.

Naxos and the small Cyclades walking holiday, Greece
Carbon reduction
Your holiday will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this holiday and how to reduce them.
We are dedicated to encouraging low-impact activity holidays, such as walking, and minimising our negative impact on the environment and people.
This walking trail holiday in the island of Naxos & the Small Cyclades in Greece, has an eco focus. We will inform our guests about the unique flora and endemic and common species they will encounter while walking or swimming around the island of Naxos, Amorgos, Iraklia, Donousa, Koufonisia. We give guidelines on where to look for them, how to approach them in order not to scare them and disrupt their life, how to observe their behaviours or even capture a unique picture showing to the rest of the world their magic. Guests leave aware of the environmental dangers faced and what they can do to minimise them.
We encourage our guests to behave in an environmentally responsible manner. We walk on designated paths and make sure no litter is left behind. We often arrange clean ups of paths and beaches during the week. We report on paths that are falling out of use and help to clear them.
We encourage our guests and the owners of the accommodations we use to be aware of the threats to the environment (i.e. water waste, plastic bags and bottles) and suggest ways in which they can minimise their negative footprint. We explain our guests the need for water conservation in the Greek islands and advise them on how to minimise their water waste. We encourage our guests to bring refillable water bottles and/or recycle them in designated areas. All our business waste is recycled. All communication is done electronically where possible, saving on paper.
We organise our walking holidays in Greece only for small groups of up to 6 people, outside the high season months of July-August. We thus try as much as we can to reduce negative impacts to the environment and its people and to benefit the local community.
We have the greatest respect for the local people and their customs and are anxious to share our knowledge of Cycladic island lifestyle with our guests. In order to limit the social impact of tourism all are guests are introduced to the local customs, religion, politics and history during our walks. We take our clients to local festivals, artists' workshops, and other locals celebrations trying to get them to experience the local way of life. We encourage our guests to mix and interact with the local people which are particularly friendly and hospitable.
Through our walking trail holidays in Greece we support small businesses by supporting locally owned shops, guesthouses, mini-markets, bakeries and taverns. As our holidays take place in spring, early summer and autumn, we bring customers and income to establishments which would otherwise only have visitors in high summer. Guests are advised to visit the local market and purchase locally-produced and home-made products such olive oil, wine, honey, capers and herbs, sun dried fruits and tomatoes, louza the local proscuito and other goods.
We buy food for our picnics from the local markets and prefer items locally grown according to the season, thus supporting the local agricultural community. Evening meals are taken in typical Greek restaurants serving local dishes.
Our guests stay at local, family owned guesthouses, staffed by locals with their food being sourced locally. These accommodations have been restored by local workers and retained their unique local character whilst providing all necessary comforts. The guesthouses recently installed solar panels which provide hot water for all rooms all year round.
Naxos & the Small Cyclades have a unique network of traditional walking paths and Annie and Andrea who will be your guides know them very well. They live and work in the area. They are passionate about promoting the Cyclades as a walking holiday destination, about the survival and conservation of the paths and local wildlife and sustainable tourism in general.
In general, with all walking holidays in Greece, were trying through our activities to encourage travellers to approach places they visits with greater understanding and respect.

What to know how to steer clear of fake male enhancement pills? From the following article you will find the answer on such an important question.
You know, when I purchased my first box of VigRX Plus I hadn't even thought that there were many Chinese or Korean-made analogs! But the truth is – the more popular the brand, the more chance you'll get of falsification.
So, what is the risk if you buy fake pills by accident? How do you spot the real from other "so-called male enhancement pills"? Let's try to find the answers together.
First of all, we both know that it is almost everything has the title "Made in China" nowadays but sometimes it is better to stay away from such products because they could be really dangerous.
In the case of male enhancement pills (or other health care products) it would be wise to double check the manufacturer, the content and who the real seller is.
In Case Of VigRX Plus, Let's Find Out How To Avoid Fraud When Buying Male Enhancement Pills
- The most important step – Order from the OFFICIAL WEBSITE ONLY! It is the one and only way to make sure you will not get Chinese fakes instead of the real product. I personally do not believe those official resellers or authorized distributors from eBay or Amazon or other online shops who claim they sell real products with a huge discount. Only purchasing from official website is a guarantee that you'll get 100% original, genuine, sealed and not expired product. So my advice is – don't buy from the wrong source!
- Don't be scammed by unnatural sales and huge discounts. When it looks too good to be true then it probably is. What is the reason to offer you the price which is less than MRSP? The answer is really simple – you are buying fakes or the product expires soon.
How to recognize the real VigRX Plus from fake ones?
It is very difficult to distinguish which product is real if you've never seen it before but if we are talking about VigRX Plus then I'll try to explain you what the real VigRX Plus looks like.
The box is made of good quality carton, all inscriptions are clear and readable, no blur or slur. You can read "Male Virility Supplement VigRX Plus" in the top left corner.
Next is "The World's Leading Male Enhancement Product ** VigRX Plus" and on a yellow field "Now with Bioperine". In the lower right corner near DaVinci's half-man you can read the following: "60 tablets" on the white field and "Dietary Supplement" on the red squared field.
There is a unique expiration date indicated on each blister. Each blister includes 15 pills. Pills area red color coated with "VigRX" print on them, and brown inside. Actually, I would say they have a color of blended herbs and roots inside.
Click Here To Visit VigRX Plus Official Website
VigRX Plus is a male enhancement pills with 10+ years of research in the men's sexual health niche. I personally rate it as one of the best male enhancement pill available today.
If you would like to get the real clinically tested product, and not a fake Chinese reproduction, then make sure you purchase them from the official website. This will guarantee the quality of the product and money back if you are not satisfied with the results.

According to DONA, there have been numerous clinical studies that have found a doula's presence at birth:
results in shorter labors with fewer complications
reduces negative feelings about one's childbirth experience
reduces the need for pitocin (a labor-inducing drug), forceps or vacuum extraction
reduces the requests for pain medications and epidurals, as well as the incidence of cesareans
Also, having a doula present during and after childbirth, women report greater satisfaction with their birth experience, make more positive assessments of their babies, have fewer cesareans and requests for medical intervention, and less postpartum depression.
A doula is a professionally trained childbirth assistant who sees the mother throughout pregnancy, labor, and after birth to provide continuous emotional, physical, spiritual, and informational support to the mother (and partner) before, during and after childbirth. The word "doula" comes from ancient Greek, meaning "Woman's servant."
During pregnancy, a doula assists the mother with discovering her concerns and preferences about childbirth and can suggest holistic and natural remedies to minor pregnancy discomforts. Doulas also use relaxation massage, acupressure, physical comfort measures and breathing techniques to help mom (and partner) prepare for labor and birth.
Studies have shown that babies born with doulas present tend to have shorter hospital stays with fewer admissions to special care nurseries, breastfeed more easily and have more affectionate mothers in the postpartum period.

November 23, 1992, Section C, Page 11Buy Reprints
The film "Malcolm X" is, as everyone knows, the creation of Spike Lee. But it has also been the 25-year obsession of Marvin Worth.
Mr. Worth, the producer of the movie, said this morning that the box-office grosses for the film's first few days had left him stunned. "Malcolm X," which stars Denzel Washington, opened on Wednesday to generally positive reviews. It was expected to gross about $10 million over the weekend. The film came in third at the box office, after "Home Alone 2," which grossed a huge $30 million, and "Bram Stoker's 'Dracula,' " with about $15 million.
"It's fantastic, unbelievable," Mr. Worth said by telephone. "It surpasses our wildest expectations."
Whether the film will emerge as a long-term commercial success that will appeal to white as well as black audiences, remains uncertain. But Mr. Worth, in a recent interview in his office, made it evident that the fact that he had actually made the film was enough for him.
"Even if this movie doesn't make 20 cents, it's still history," he said. "It's something I had to do. My memories of this man go so far back."
Mr. Worth first met the teen-age Malcolm on 52d Street in New York in the 1940's. At 15, Mr. Worth was hanging out at jazz clubs and managing musicians. Malcolm -- then called Detroit Red because of his reddish hair -- was hustling drugs.
"He was selling grass," Mr. Worth said. "He was 16 or 17 but looked older. He was very witty, a funny guy, and he had this extraordinary charisma. A great dancer and a great dresser. He was very good-looking, very, very tall. Girls always noticed him. He was quite a special guy."
Mr. Worth is one of the more colorful producers in town, an intense bespectacled 67-year-old with shoulder-length gray hair, a nervous New York patter and a fondness for expensive, super-trendy clothes by the designer Gianni Versace.
His office at Warner Brothers' Hollywood studio is not your typical producer's office with sleek furniture, Southwestern decor and a bowl of perfectly ripened fruit. Instead, it is a bit like an amusement arcade, with an assortment of bowling pins and toy soldiers, a small sofa with a Marilyn Monroe print, and huge purple, green and black paintings by his wife, Joan.
Behind Mr. Worth's flamboyance, however, he has gained a reputation as an often serious and successful producer. His most successful films include "Lenny," the powerful 1974 Bob Fosse drama starring Dustin Hoffman as the tormented nightclub comic Lenny Bruce. (Mr. Worth was Lenny Bruce's manager for years.) He also produced "The Rose," with Bette Midler in her starring debut as a doomed rock star; "Patty Hearst," the 1988 Paul Schrader drama about the newspaper heiress's kidnapping, and the 1970 black-comedy classic "Where's Poppa?" Society Reflected in a Single Life
Mr. Worth said his obsession with making a film about the life of Malcolm X was based, in large part, on his conviction that the story of the black leader was a peculiarly American saga.
"It's such a great story, a great American story, and it reflects our society in so many ways," Mr. Worth said. "Here's a guy who essentially led so many lives. He pulled himself out of the gutter. He went from country boy to hipster and semi-hoodlum. From there he went to prison, where he became a Muslim. Then he was a spiritual leader who evolved into a humanitarian."
Although Mr. Worth is enormously proud of the film, the producer says he wishes that the lighter side of Malcolm X's personality could have emerged. "When I knew him, he was such a charmer," he said, "very gregarious, a guy who was a lot of fun, and I'm not sure that's there." From Documentary to Drama
If the life story of Malcolm X seemed like an ideal movie, the film's journey was extremely arduous. Mr. Worth acquired the rights in 1967 to "The Autobiography of Malcolm X," as told to Alex Haley. Mr. Worth acquired the rights from Mr. Haley and Betty Shabazz, Malcolm X's widow, who supported the film project and is now a friend of Mr. Worth's.
Since then, the producer has struggled, obsessively, he says, to make the movie. In 1971, frustrated at his inability to tell the whole story, partly because questions about Malcolm X's killing were still unresolved, Mr. Worth made a widely praised documentary, "Malcolm X," which was nominated for an Academy Award.
"We thought we'd make the dramatization a year or two after that," he said. "I didn't know it would be 20 years."
In the late 1960's, Mr. Worth hired James Baldwin, the novelist, to write the script. Later Mr. Baldwin was joined by Arnold Perl, a screenwriter who had been blacklisted in the McCarthy era. Then the project floundered. Mr. Perl died in 1971 and Mr. Baldwin in 1987.
In the next two decades, the Malcolm X project became known as one of Hollywood's most famous unproduced movies. Efforts by numerous writers, directors and stars went adrift. Writers like Calder Willingham, David Mamet, David Bradley and Charles Fuller tried screenplays. Stars like Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy became involved, and then dropped out. Directors like Sidney Lumet and Norman Jewison were also involved.
Mr. Worth said Mr. Jewison was ambivalent about directing "Malcolm X," saying that the film should be made by a black director. With interest in Malcolm X growing, especially among younger blacks in the 1980's, Spike Lee publicly complained that the movie should be made by a black film maker. Mr. Jewison dropped out, Mr. Lee took over and revised the Baldwin-Perl script. Mr. Worth reluctantly agreed to take Mr. Baldwin's name off the credits, when the writer's family asked him to do so because of the revisions. The film's screenplay is credited to Mr. Perl and Mr. Lee. Obsessed Characters
Asked about Mr. Lee, who has a reputation for being abrasive and difficult, Mr. Worth laughed. "Nobody can explain Spike," he said. "Very difficult to understand. Very complex."
Was he difficult to work with? Mr. Worth responds with a long pause. "It depends what you want," he said. "He's not the hardest or most difficult person I've worked with. Spike is unpredictable. He panics the establishment. You're always getting phone calls about Spike from the studio: 'He's talking again to the press,' 'He's making trouble,' He's doing this,' 'He's doing that.' But we got along. We're still hugging. Is there 10 or 15 minutes in the movie I would have done differently? Sure."
Mr. Worth, who still speaks with a vivid Brooklyn accent, has been a part of the jazz and show-business world for most of his life. In the 1940's and 50's, he worked as a manager and promoter for artists including Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon. In the 1960's, he became a successful writer, working for Buddy Hackett, Alan King, Joey Bishop and other comedians.
But he says that the man who consumed his life for years, and whom he thinks of daily, is Lenny Bruce. Mr. Bruce's mother, Sally Marr, asked him to manage her son's career when Mr. Bruce was still in the Navy. (Mr. Worth was a paratrooper in World War II and was seriously wounded.)
"I got him on the 'Arthur Godfrey Show'; he was a Godfrey protege, believe it or not," Mr. Worth said. "Lenny was really a very sweet guy."
Mr. Bruce, who died from a drug overdose in 1966, was, in many ways, like Malcolm X, Mr. Worth said. "They were both obsessed characters; they were both compulsive," he said. "They were both brilliant. They were both obsessed with knocking down hypocrisy. Malcolm went on one path, a cleaner path. Lenny went the other way. He didn't have the strength in the end. The drugs -- nobody beats that. Lenny couldn't. God, I miss him."

Andrea Brosnan
As a child having grown up with a vegetable garden and backyard full of fruit trees the goodness of home grown wholefoods was the major source of nourishment in my life. Meals were full of fresh seasonal produce with nothing wasted. Just about every food item was home made from scratch, and there were always home-made jams, chutneys, sauces, stewed fruits, biscuits, cakes, slices – processed and packaged foods were a rarity.
Over the years many of my jobs involved working with food, starting off at a local bakery/cake shop then moving onto a chain restaurants, pub bistros and gourmet cafes. As a result I gained a reputation amongst family, friends and peers as a 'gourmet cook'.
When I became a mother in my early 20's I found myself naturally replicating the eating habits from my childhood, a rarity in the early 90's when most of my friends and peers tended to opt for pre-prepared, pre-packaged foods out of convenience for their families and children. People used to look in amazement at my daughter eating a bowl of fruit salad (her choice) in a take-away food court and scowl at me thinking I was an unfair mother………
Then in my mid 30's after living a mostly simple life I got caught up in what I term the 'executive lifestyle'. Money became more plentiful, and having felt I had 'missed out' in the past, eating out and purchasing convenience foods became more prevalent in my life. After 5 years of living like that I found myself unhappy, unhealthy, overweight, miserable and not the vital, vibrant person I once was – I had lost the essence of myself. Then (thankfully) due to circumstances beyond my control I was forced to literally start my life over again – so mostly due to budgetary constraints it was back to basics and simplifying my life.
In that time I was introduced to Green Smoothies losing upwards of 20 kilos in 3 months, achieved by eliminating processed foods and getting back to eating wholesome freshly prepared foods. After embracing smoothies the 'raw food' concept was presented to me which just made absolute sense. I have now lost in excess of 25-30 kilos, recovered from diet related anaemia (so severe my hair was falling out), and there is no evidence of the life-threatening clotting disorder I was diagnosed with in my mid 20's. And although my friends and family were initially horrified that I was no longer going to cook their favourite gourmet dishes, they love the fact that I can re-create them 'in the raw'.
Encouraged by the consistent positive comments from others about my more youthful appearance, healthy, vital and energetic transformation, and lots of gratitude from supporting others to commence a similar journey, I decided that my experience was far too important not to share. So taking one of the hugest risks ever, I quit a lifetime of professional employment and formed Really Awesome Wholefoods (RAW) in an effort to provide 'Inspirational nourishment for your mind, body and soul …' by offering educational workshops to empower participants to incorporate wholefoods into their lifestyles and through sales of a range of raw, organic Treats and Signature Chocolates.
Tim McNeilly
Tim's interest in health and nutrition started over 25 when he was given a copy of Fit For Life. This one book changed my life – 'flicked a switch' so to speak.
Shortly after that, as a compassionate being, I became a vegetarian for the health benefits.
Over the years I have delved deeper into finding out what makes our bodies work optimally and have come to the understanding that we require clean water, chemical-free food, fermented foods (as probiotics), enzymes, vitamins and minerals (some of which I have found in insufficient quantities in food).
I first began fermenting beer (which I think is fairly common amongst aussie guys). This lasted about a year before I was given some milk kefir grains and that's where my real fermenting experience begun. Locating good quality milk back then was a lot harder than it is now.
About a decade ago, I attended a workshop with Donna Gates (Body Ecology Diet) and that inspired me to take this journey even further. I started making coconut kefir and made my first batch of sauerkraut.
More recently, I studied with Fred Bisci (Raw Food fanatic), who explained very clearly the importance of consuming a majority of our diets raw.
In 2010 I attended a raw food gathering in Vilcabamba, Ecuador which further expanded my knowledge and understanding of how our bodies utilise the nutrients we ingest. It was great to hang out with Matt Monarch and Angela Stokes-Monarch and soak up as much info as I could.
Over the last 2-3 years, I have been trying all sorts of different ferments, and although I am not a master, I am still learning what works and doesn't work. This has got me to where I am now – able to educate interested people in Functional Foods – foods that work for you and your families.
May the journey continue into the universe and beyond…..

This Trimurti didn't saved Subhash Ghai from drowning.This was the super duper flop of the year 1995. I guess from this film onwards only the legend Subhash Ghai's all the films thereafter went on flops one by one.Jackie Schoff and Anil Kapoor's presence was the only thing this movie had going for it. Don't know why Shahrukh Khan had signed this awful script.The only reason I wanted to see this movie was because I remembered one of the songs, it was very catchy. "Upper vahle very good very good, nieche vahel very bad very bad" that was good stuff. ... » read more

Written on the: 9.11.12 Written by: Ellie Goldsmith + Katinka Frassoni
This week in maths we have been doing division with remainders. Some of us used the bus stop method and divided with hundreds and thousands.
Parents Evening
All the parents in year four came to see Miss Gasson about their child. We both went on Wednesday and got good reports!
This week in science we were introduced to solids and liquids. So we had a tray of some solids and some liquids and in our groups we had to separate them in the solids and liquids. We did pretty well at this! JJJ
We finished reading the Ice Palace story this week. Miss Gasson made an ice palace in our classroom. We did some drama work in groups and did some fantastic writing.
That's our week!
