What did I miss? Where did the tower come from?
Well if we had to choose I like the first and the third the best.
Nice find Stern.
What did I miss? Where did the tower come from?
Well if we had to choose I like the first and the third the best.
The dual glass tower is the lesser of all evils in my opinion. The 30 Hudson st copy is probably my second place. I thought the boxy-tower rendering with the ESB in the background was a drawing from the 50's...its hideous in my opinion.
The first rendering is interesting from a political point of view in that it renders a hugely developed Far West Side, seemingly with a stadium. It's like a kid thrusting his hand in the air during class to say, "Pick me! Pick me!"
I like the third rendering, dual towers, as well. I think the symetry plays of the classical base much better than the others.
The tower is from the planned commercial space, although they are still saying no decision has been made on building above the station. Most likely, there will be a tower.Originally Posted by Teno
The classical bi-partite towers are a bit staid in my opinion. I like the second rendering with the gently curving in and out tower -- it's not a form we have a lot of in new york, and I think the way it shifted slightly off the empire state building will have a nice effect.
Does anyone know which architects did what proposal?
Eye candy during Lent! Is this permissible? Ahh yes, I remember now: The Temptation in the Desert. As one who lived, if briefly, in Hell's Kitchen, I have become greatly disoriented. Where is this place set before my eyes? No such hallucinations were permitted west of Eighth Avenue. Dear Lucy, where am I?
I'd like to see a combo of both 1 and 2. Two distinct towers, seemingly different heights, with the SOM peak in the middle. One can be commercial and one condo (probably not permitted, but a tought).
THAT TOWER IS HIDEOUS! Please tell me that it won't be built! This is the 1968 Grand Central Tower all over again.
Which tower? There are more than one.Originally Posted by TomAuch
The last one is the worst, followed by the next-to-last picture. Why can't they just leave the air space alone?
I like the 2nd and 3rd one. In my opinion the view from New Jersey to Midtwon Manhattan should not be so much influenced by such a building.I like the view like it is right now
I take offense -- the Pan Am building over grand central is one of the best skyscrapers in the city -- it's just a vogue thing for people to say they don't like it.
Wow! I'm in vogue! (I worked there for years - hated it).Originally Posted by elfgam
#1: It appears to be complimentary to the potato chip, which I think is nice work by Childs.
#3 is boring and #4 is awful (but it also is the worst rendering).

Now Old People Can Apply To Be On "America's Top Model"
Renowned media mogul, Tyra Banks, has practiced the time honored tradition of ageism for years. When her iconic skinny bitch showcase America's Next Top Model debuted in 2003, there has always been three main simple rules: 1). I am your Queen! 2). At some point I'ma fuck your hair up. 3). Don't be an old bitch.
Well, rules 1 and 2 are still in full effect, but Tyra has finally done away with rule number 3. She now welcomes contestants of every age to pack their bags (including the ones under their eyes) to smize away for cash prizes and reality supermodel infamy.
Last month, Tyra announced that she would be taking the reigns as host once again after the show's return to television on VH1, along with former host Rita Ora, who always looked like she was either on the verge of sleep or tears whenever the camera caught her. (Side note: In addition to hosting ANTM, Tyra is also replacing Nick Cannon as the host of NBC's America's Got Talent). Variety reports "After 23 cycles, the recently re-appointed host of America's Next Top Model announced that she is doing away with an age limit for the upcoming iteration." Yesterday, she posted a video to her Twitter page to inform everyone of the good news.

MmmmHmmm. Likely story, Tyra. You got rid of the age limit because you woke up recently and realized YOUR ass is getting old! You don't fool me, broad! Discriminating against aspiring models over the age of thirty was cool when she was still young, but now that she's hopped over that forty fence, I'm sure she had an epiphany while sipping her Ensure one morning like "Girl, you know you wrong. Let the old bitches play too!" And honestly, I am all the way here for the old models coming through and becoming a part of the legendary ANTM brand of fuckery, especially once the ladies all move into the house and are immediately divided into the "Young vs. Old" crew. Y'all know that's what Tyra wants.
I hope there's a 50-year-old grandmother who comes in there and slays every last one of those young hoes. But then again, Tyra would probably cut Glam-Mom way before anyone else as to do away with her own competition among the geriatric models.

Former U.S. Rep. Ron Klein has been an advocate for a national catastrophe fund for many years after dealing with the financial losses and insurance issues brought on by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. While in Congress, Mr. Klein was able to get the House to pass the Homeowner's Defense Act in 2009, which later died in Congress. The act would have allowed states to voluntarily pool their interests to self-insure themselves from losses in the event of a natural disaster. The debate for this type of fund continues, especially because natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy seem to be more frequent and more costly.
"We [in South Florida] don't live where Sandy hit, but out of our coffers comes $50 billion to help," Mr. Klein said. "If you do this the right way, you will reduce the exposure to the national taxpayer."

Special Fall 2019 Courses in Writing and Speech
SPEECH 37: Health Communications
19F: 2A. Dist: SOC. Instructor: Darlene Drummond
This course is designed to provide a broad introduction to human communication in a health-care context. We will examine basic medical models, the roles of health professionals, patients and caregivers, social and cultural issues, communication in health organizations, and the role of mass media. Emphasis will be on the social analysis of social support, ethics, organizational culture, planning health promotion campaigns, cultural conceptions of health and illness, and social scientific theory. No prerequisites. Limited enrollment.

WRITING 20: Understanding the Rhetoric of Media Culture
19F: 2. Dist: ART. Instructor: Wendy Piper
In this class, students will learn to read the media images that surround us daily. We'll begin by understanding that use of images, whether print, digital, or even artworks, is always allied with class interests and intended to perpetuate those interests. Thus, while advertising images may sell products, they also sell (or shape) identities, values, and worldviews. We'll look at the strategies of corporate narratives, then, to ask what else, besides the use value of the product itself, the narrative is selling. Why, for instance, would the popular American clothing company, Banana Republic, choose a brand reminiscent of colonialism? Or, alternatively, why would a coffee company promote its interest in fair trade and global sustainability over the quality of its coffee beans? Assuming that corporations exist to sell product and satisfy shareholders before promoting good will, we might ask what they know of consumers that we might not even know of ourselves? Students in this class will study the rhetorical strategies used when corporations develop cultural narratives designed to shape perspectives. This work will enable them to make informed and responsible choices as citizens and consumers. No prerequisites. Limited enrollment.

The possibility of invalidating a patent is clearly set out in Vietnam's intellectual property laws. Historically, however, although thousands of patents are granted each year in Vietnam, the number of requests for invalidation has been extremely small. Nearly all of these cases have occurred in the context of patent disputes where the sanctioned party (in administrative measures) or defendant (in judicial measures) has been accused of patent infringement, and attempts to invalidate the patent in question as a defense mechanism, with the argument that if a patent is not valid, it cannot be infringed.

Get Real About Affiliate Marketing Success… It's Not Get Rich Quick
Most people get started with Affiliate Marketing with unrealistic expectations that they will be making thousands of dollars a month within the first 3 or 4 months. Realize that affiliate marketing success is not going to happen overnight. It is going to take time and hard work to become successful and make money. You must be willing to learn, work hard, work smart, and stick with it. If you are commited to that journey, you can make the money you want from affiliate marketing.
Believe in What You Sell and It will Sell Itself
Be sure that you select your affiliate products you're going to endorse and sell them carefully. This means that you have tried the products and that you have trust in them. If you try to sell affiliate products that you have never used, you may be trying to sell something that is not so great and won't give you the conversions that you need. Not only that, but you'll loose trust and ground with your list that you've worked so hard to build. You don't want mud on your face.
You may also have a hard time promoting a product if you aren't interested in it and don't exactly know how it works. There's nothing worse than getting a call from a loyal customers who saw that you recommended something and asked you questions about it and your only response is, "ah, I don't know… I don't own the product… I've never used it."
Stay Current On Your Products
If a seller releases a new version of a product that you are selling or has sold in the past, then be sure that your readers are aware of it. Staying current with all updates and upgrades to the product(s) you promote and on top of the latest trends can help you have affiliate marketing success and make more money long term.
Your customers will love you for it and feel very well served.

How to organize a press review in the best way
You work as a press officer for some entity, large or small, and consequently frequently draw up a series of press releases which you then send to the various editorial offices, so that they give attention and visibility to your institution, or to the person you work for. Your job doesn't end there. In order to do your best in your sector, you need to go a step further: you need to organize a good press review.
What is a press review? Good question.
The press review is a wide-ranging cross-check of specific news reported by the major information channels, which nowadays, in addition to being newspapers, magazines, television and radio, are also the Internet and the most important social networks. The term "review" derives, in fact, from the phrase "browse", which basically means "check in depth", "scroll with your eyes everything that is in front of us until we can find what we are looking for".
When we send a press release, the only way to understand if it has been accepted and published or not and where it is, in fact, to make a press review, and to do it today we mainly use applications, particular software that work online.
One of the tasks of a press review is also to measure the effectiveness of a campaign that we have launched: in terms of posts on a social network, we can understand how many people have viewed it, what target it has reached, who liked it and further shared. In practice, we can have total control over that post and observe the results of our work over time.

People in crisis should take precedence over narrow points of law or politics. But too often, compassion for human beings created in God's image is left out of legal or geopolitical solutions.
I have become increasingly alarmed concerning the humanitarian crisis at America's southern border. My husband Steve and I are firm believers in putting our beliefs into action.
On July 4, we were in Florida and made the three-hour drive to Homestead to find the federal detention center and protest on behalf of the migrant children held inside.

Holding out for a Hero, Victoria Van Tiem
Genre: Romance, women's fiction
I loved Victoria's last book Love like the Movies, and was hoping I'd feel the same about this one. It wasn't to be though 😦 It's still a great read but darker in feel, a more serious story though there are moments of humour sprinkled throughout it just didn't feel quite right to me.
Libby, she was stuck in the 80's – I know how that feels, sometimes I feel I'm stuck in the 70's, patchouli oil, incense stick, Loons, Indian prints – floaty skirts and tiny mirrors decorating them….I just had issues actually Liking Libby though. She had some great friends who went all out to help her even if some of it was OTT, they were always there for her, supporting her, listening to her, but she seems to take it all for granted and is almost rude at times. I can't think of any times she did things for them and it seemed very much one way giving. Its not til Finn points out after one of the disaster dates that she's not trying, not making an effort to see the good in people but just focussing on the negatives, that she sees it herself. She does make an effort after that and I began to warm to her, and as more comes out and I understand her I did feel for her. There's clearly something that's happened to make her that way, and some tantalising hints get thrown out as the story goes on, and being inescapably curious I really wanted to know the answers…..I loved her friends, even though they were a bit strange a times, they meant well, and really tried so hard for her. It's clear they'd been round for years and knew about everything, and I kept feeling that if they liked Libby I must be misjudging her and she must have good points I just didn't see..
When the Big Reveal does come – and its not all at once, the hints get stronger until…and then it was really very emotional reading, gave me the sniffles, and looking back over what I'd read I could see how it all fit together. The ending after that seems a little rushed though, and I really expected one person to play a larger role given the ending.
The first third I struggled with and almost gave up, mostly because I found Libby so whiny and critical of everything. I know depression has all kinds of effects on people, and it was clear she had some major issues and that part was very real, but I found her really difficult to like even given that. It was well worth sticking with because the last third is five star all the way, even given the slightly quick finish.
Stars: Three and a half, a mixed bag for me, bits I struggled to get through and then some wonderful parts that had me on the edge of tears.

There you are, jogging through Regent's Park on a Wednesday morning with the sun in your eyes and the wind in your hair (and/or waking up on the grass with a bag of chips and wondering wtf happened last night). You pull out your yoga mat to do some stretches (and/or wander over to a bin to be sick) when you do a double take. 'LO, WHAT IS THIS WONDEROUS SIGHT BEFORE ME.
Errr, well it's Beyonce actually, looking fine, fierce and nothing less than majestic while standing amongst the geese in her spangly gold leotard. Christ on a bike, what DID happen last night.
Anyone who couldn't grab tickets to the On The Run tour can sweat no more, as Queen Bey has popped up in London armed with her microphone for an impromptu performance. So that's nice.
Something's wrong though, she's looking a little more wooden than usual. Maybe it's all those rumours about her marriage... Or maybe it's because this isn't actually Beyonce. Quel shock.
MYSTERY SOLVED. It's actually just a brand new Beyonce waxwork unveiled by Madame Tussauds today. Literally no idea why it's in the park, but as celebrity waxworks go, it's really quite brilliant.
While most waxworks look like they might pop up at the end of your bed wielding a meat cleaver, Beyonce's plastic fantastic version is of course flawless, wearing her signature gold bodysuit with tassel and pearl embellishment, and some snazzy metallic boots.
Quite good isn't it? And let's finish with something about all the single lay-geese. Alright, as you were.
What do you think of the new Beyonce waxwork? Let us know in the comments below, or tweet us @CosmopolitanUK.

It is of little surprise that the new improved MetaRevive powder with flavors is a huge HIT! We have had so much great feedback from the launch of the new powder this last week that we had to share some of the comments that are coming back to us. We knew our community of "Vivers" would like it but had no idea how popular this would be. Check out some of these comments:
TS in Nevada – I have been waiting on this since the product first launched. I took the capsules because I loved the positive effects of the powder but changed to the capsules due to taste issues. The capsules were just okay for me but this new powder has knocked a home run as far as I am concerned. I have so much more energy. My work outs are even more vigorous and I can already feel the results. Thank you so much MetaRevive for bringing the powder back and with flavors that easily mix in water and actually taste good!
RD in Louisiana – Thank goodness it is back. I was scared the powder was discontinued for good. My exercise is BACK ON!
TL in Texas – Man …. I think I would just drink this for the flavor! It is really good.
GP in Texas …. I was really excited when I heard Kellie Raspberry talk about how great this was on the radio. The capsules I got then were okay but I am SO GLAD I got the powder this time. I can't wait to see what is next. Lemon is my favorite but my friend likes the grape. I am energized and my metabolism is ready to revive.
GB in New Mexico – THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
RD in Texas – It's about time! LOL I have been taking MetaRevive since its launch in January. Dr Powell knocked it out of the park with this one.
EA in Oklahoma – I was worried when I bought the capsules that it was not having an effect on me. I never got a chance to try the original flavor and from what I read ….. I'm lucky I didn't have to deal with the taste. The lemon flavor is my favorite – All I can say is I am lemon dropping the weight! Thanks guys.
DL in Louisiana – I could care less about the weight issue – I have clean energy again!
The individual flavor packets should be available soon. More to come on our developing product lines as well. We have already entered second production of the flavor powder. It has flown off the shelves faster than we thought. We just hope no more radio personalities get a hold of this before we get our next batch filled. Get yours today and experience the great benefits that everyone else is getting. If the capsules didn't quite deliver what you had wanted (rare in most cases) then get in on this! It will not disappoint.
Best of luck and keep on VIVING!

Reid Harper joins the denim culture
Design, impeccable fits and superior quality to create a collection where originality meets timeless style: this is Abrand, the Melbourne-based denim house born in 2013. A devotion to denim based on a some-kind Holy Trinity: Fit, Finish and Fabric. A dedication stitched also on the back pocket of our jeans with the triangle logo. The same you can see in the latest Denim Dayz collection.
Influenced by the street, the curiosity and adventure of youth, the collection is a tribute to adventure, squad love, fun and carefree spirits. And the perfect personification of these emotions has been found in Reid Harper, stunt rider famous for act in blockbusters like Iron Man, Jurassic World, Dunkirk.
The campaign has been shot at Joshua Tree, California, America's most talked about desert, chosen as the perfect backdrop for some seriously great shots of Reid doing what he does best, all in Abrand Jeans. Have a look these pics.

Top 10 Best Improvised Weapons for Self-Defense
When it comes to a violent confrontation in which an attacker might kill you or seriously injure you, you will need to do whatever is necessary to save yourself. It is not a time to be hesitant about ending the confrontation by whatever means you have available. For this reason, it might be necessary to equalize the situation but, even more importantly, to gain an advantage. One way this is done is by having a weapon handy. While many of us do not carry weapons due to personal or legal reasons, this does not mean that weapons are not always available. Along these lines, I would like to explore what everyday objects are available, in our environment, for self defense purposes.
The Coke Bottle
You might be walking home from the store and, out of the blue, a predator has accosted you. Luckily, you've purchased a soda in a glass bottle; you might even want to have it in your hand and ready for use if you see trouble coming. A glass bottle is like a very hard club and, of course, can be used the same way. It should be mentioned that it is very possible a glass bottle is available in your environment whether you have one on hand or not; you might spot it, discarded in the street. Either way, it is a useful and often available self defense tool.
The Coffee Mug
You've sat down to relax and drink a hot cup of Joe when someone bursts into your home. Thankfully, you've got a weapon right within your grip which has a nifty handle that allows you to punch and strike with it with ease. Plus, you're hyped up on coffee!
Those big heavy Maglites that are metal and full of D batteries are equivalent to a lead pipe. Definitely a handy self-defense tool that you should keep in the home and carry in your car. It's a necessary tool for emergencies, like when the lights go out at home or if you run out of gas when driving in your car, so you have a legitimate reason to be carrying one; if it just so happens that you have to use it to defend yourself because some joker decided to try to make you a victim, so be it.
The Hair Brush
You're brushing your hair and someone crashes into the bathroom and decides to get unruly; the butt end of your hair brush is a good blunt instrument and the brush has bristles which make it a good raking implement that doesn't feel good on the eyes, though your nicely brushed hair may be easy on the eyes.
The Pen
You're in your office, taking down notes for a great idea you have for that important project you've been itching to finish up. Breaking your deep concentration, some disenchanted rapscallion rushes into your office with fury and bad intent. You notice the ball-point pen in your hand, which is conveniently pointy at the end. Time to go to work: Not only is such a tool good for stabbing actions, but it's useful for hitting pressure points and being used for locks and throws.
Also handy around the house or office are magazines. You'd be surprised at the substance and hardness of a magazine which is rolled up tightly; it becomes an effective weapon, especially if used like a club, utilizing the butt end of it to hit vital targets on the attacker, such as the eyes or throat.
Cell Phone
You're walking up the street talking on your cell phone to your girlfriend or boyfriend and spy someone lurking around, seeking to get you for your valuables. Well, you have your cell phone, so you can call the police, but you also have a hard weapon; yes, the cell phone. Using the butt end of the cell phone in your hand, you can hammer the bridge of the nose, the philtrum nerve above the upper lip, the temple, the jaw hinge, the throat. It might be enough to get the attacker to think about some pain instead of attacking you so you can make your escape.
Food and Beverage
Hot oatmeal, hot coffee, a pot of boiling water; none of those feel good splashed in the face: I think you get the idea.
Generally available outdoors, a handful of dirt thrown into the eyes of an aggressor can blind him and keep him in misery long enough for you to pull off a life-saving self defense move or for you to escape.
Throwing the Attacker into Things
The ground, a wall, a bookcase, a parked car: These are all weapons. Throwing the attacker onto the ground or into a wall can do enough damage for you to end the confrontation and escape.
In conclusion, when it comes to saving your own life against someone intent on doing you harm, it is good to use your mind, be smart and perceptive and aware of what's available in your environment that will give you an advantage in a dangerous situation.
Interesting article. Too often, the subject of improvised weapons is overlooked in martial arts training.
I actually used a pen to scare off an attacker. I had just started driving an airport shuttle in San Francisco, and had pulled over to look at a map. Some guy tried to open the passenger side door as well as the back door, which were both locked. He came around to my door, which wasn't locked, and opened it. I screamed like a mad woman and wielded my ballpoint pen. I was ready to stab his eyes out with it! Haha! Apparently, he could see that because he ran away.
12 years ago I wrote a book (one or 4) Called "Coney Island Sensei a Brooklyn Street Fighters Guide" which includes many uses of everyday objects in fact 189 pages. I have been in the arts since 1949 and hold 10th Dan from Japan and recognized as one of the founding fathers of American Martial Arts. I use EVERYTHING in Hardware stores in Food centers. In Malls in your kitchen or shed or garden or Perfume which is an atomizer when sprayed while holding a match becomes a flame thrower. I include ways of compromising gangs and more than 6-12 people instantaneously.
I think you are on the right track and I hope your readers take heart..
Good Luck
Great suggestions! I wouldn't have thought to use my hairbrush like that.
I liked our suggestion about throwing the attacker into things. Being aware of the surroundings in general is a great idea.
I'm a bus rider, and a rather petite, so there have been times when people thought I looked like a decent victim. The last time that had happened, it was in the dead of winter. These two girls who were bigger than I am and wanted trouble tried coming at me. They hadn't realized that I'd nonchalantly started walking on a sheet of ice when they started threatening me. Between the extra tread on my winter boots and my practice with unexpectedly slippery terrain, I was confident that I was good.
When they came after me, down they went. Their wedge-heeled boots just aren't a good idea for winter walking in MN. They were too busy trying to get back on their feet and cursing at each other to come after me as I continued on my merry way.
Excellent suggestions! So many times people think they are helpless, when in fact everything they need for self defense is within reach. Loved this hub.

Want to know the best places to go kayaking, canoeing, and stand up paddling in the Illawarra & South Coast regions of New South Wales? These guides are free for Global Paddler members and yearly memberships are available now from the Global Paddler online store. To download a detailed trip description for a great paddling destination with photos, paddle map, GPS coordinates, fishing information, and recommended places to eat, drink and stay the night, simply click on its name in the table below.
|Koong Burry Bay
|Koong Burry Bay is the hub of an adventure which explores two secluded creeks, circumnavigates two amazing islands, takes in a World War II installation, visits an inspirational "Place of Healing", and even offers the possibility of a paranormal experience with a couple of ghosts.
|Minnamurra River
|The Minnamurra River is a degustation menu of delectable delights that should be sampled and savoured slowly. Speed is not of the essence if you want to experience, understand, and appreciate everything this remarkable place has to offer.
|Bundanoon Creek
|Bundanoon Creek is to spectacular Shoalhaven Gorge what Pippa Middleton is to her sister Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge and future Queen of England. She may not be as famous but she definitely has something that captures the attention of everyone who sees her.
|Shoalhaven Gorge
|The hardest thing about writing a guide for this place is doing it justice. There's something very special about Shoalhaven Gorge – a communion with nature that rejuvenates your spirit and makes your heart sing.
|Broughton Creek
|Broughton Creek has a paddling history that is hard to beat. The Thurawal people who were here 20,000 years ago were admired for their canoeing ability, the first European came by canoe, and until very recently it hosted a marathon paddling every year.
|Crookhaven River
|The Crookhaven River is a quiet estuary in the Shoalhaven that excels at producing delicious oysters and so much more. The Shoalhaven River gets the lion's share of the region's limelight but the Crookhaven River is a significantly greater contributor than its humble demeanour suggests.
|Currambene Creek
|Currambene meanders slowly through mangroves, saltmarshes, and waterside villages en route to its meeting with picture perfect Jervis Bay at Huskisson. It has a calm unhurried approach that is thankfully very contagious.
|Wandandian Creek
|This is a waterway with an air of mystery that is hard to resist. Its single public appearance is for travellers on the Princes Highway near Jervis Bay, where it reveals nothing of its future or its past, saying only that its name is Wandandian – the home of lost lovers.
|Sussex Inlet
|Sussex Inlet is a lovely winding waterway that connects St Georges Basin with Wreck Bay on the coast. On this paddle, you trace its path and follow canals into Sussex Inlet the town for an inside look at the daily lives of locals.
|Swan Lake
|Featuring the natural bushland setting of Conjola National Park, sheltered creeks, soft sandy beaches, scores of black swans, and some of the most impressive sand dunes in southern NSW, this is your next paddling holiday waiting to happen.
|Lake Conjola
|The Conjola experience is so much more than just a paddle around a lake. This trip takes you up Conjola Creek to Fishermans Paradise and those who find the call of the ocean irresistible can even paddle out to catch a few waves.
|Narrawallee Inlet
|A Narrawallee Inlet paddle is a meandering voyage through three strikingly different environments; the sandy lagoon, the nature reserve, and the farm. The ever changing scenery adds a definite "ooh… aah…" factor.
|Stony Creek
|Stony Creek collects fresh clean rain water that falls south of Ulladulla and feeds it into Burrill Lake. The lake is familiar to most who have explored the NSW south coast, but the creek is a lovely hidden secret.
|Burrill Lake
|When you just can't decide whether your perfect paddling environment features the translucent turquoise shallows of a sandy seaside estuary or the tranquil depths and forested slopes of a drowned river valley, you need a place that has the best of both worlds. That place is beautiful Burrill Lake.
|Lake Tabourie
|Lake Tabourie is a lovely coastal lagoon just south of Ulladulla. Glimpses of it from the Princes Highway are enough to tempt you in but glassy reflections of Pigeon House Mountain and the hidden treasures of its five creeks are what will keep you coming back for more.
|Clyde River
|The Clyde River rises in the Budawangs west of Milton and runs through uninhabited forests and national parks to a meeting with the coast at Batemans Bay. These unspoilt surroundings mean that its waters are always exceptionally clean and wonderfully pure.
|Durras Lake
|Pristine is a word that has lost value because it has been used far too liberally to describe less than perfect places, but there isn't a worthy alternative so I am going to use it anyway. Perhaps more than any other lake in NSW, Durras deserves to be called pristine.
|Tomaga River
|The Tomaga isn't the longest river on the south coast but it packs a lot into a comparatively short distance. Rugged coastal rock formations, lush estuarine vegetation, oyster farms, grazing cattle and the delightful Mogo Zoo provide an ever changing backdrop for this very special trip.
|Tuross Lake
|Tuross Lake is scattered with islands protected by the Eurobodalla National Park. They combine to create a labyrinth of casuarina lined paddling corridors, alive with birds and decorated with staghorns and native orchids.
|Wagonga Inlet
|The crystal clear and incredibly clean waters of Wagonga Inlet are not just perfect for growing oysters. They provide a fantastic view of Mother Nature's extraordinary underwater show. Vast seagrass meadows and large groups of stingrays are wonderful highlights for the watchful.
|Corunna Lake
|Corunna Lake is a pretty coastal lagoon south of Narooma set between the natural wonders of Eurobodalla National Park and the open pastures of peaceful Corunna farmland. The succulent cherry on this picturesque cake is an excellent winery right at the water's edge.
|Gulaga National Park
|Gulaga is a focal point in both the landscape of the NSW south coast and the creation story of the Yuin Aboriginal people. She watches closely over Wallaga Lake and keeps it safe by wrapping a gorgeous green blanket around its western shores.
|Bermagui River
|There's an unwritten law that says anyone who hears of a waterway with a name that refers to paddling must go paddling on it. The Bermagui River's name is derived from the Aboriginal Dyirringanj word permageua which means canoe with paddles. Go on. Add it to your to do list.
|Brogo Dam
|The highlights of Brogo Dam include incredible wildlife, striking geology, excellent fishing and the stunning backdrop of Wadbilliga National Park. It is also a rare opportunity to paddle on flat fresh water in the South Coast region of NSW. This is definitely not one to be missed.
|Wapengo Lake
|Oysters are valuable indicators of the purity of an aquatic environment because they filter and absorb their food directly from the water. The fact that multi award winning certified organic rock oysters are grown in Wapengo Lake is a sure sign that it is a wonderfully wholesome place to paddle.
|Bega River
|The "magic of Bega" owes a lot to the presence of this river. Whilst these days there isn't much water in it near the Bega township itself, the 11 kilometre stretch near the coast has plenty for this enchanting paddle.
|Merimbula Lake
|Every now and again you find a paddling destination where it is clear that the community understands the awesomeness of paddle sports because they provide paddlers with everything they need to have a great time on the water. Merimbula is one of those destinations.
|Pambula Lake
|Pambula Lake is the hub of an adventure which allows you to glide through the delightful Ben Boyd National Park, sample delicious rock oysters, and explore the undeniably de-lovely Pambula and Yowaka Rivers. In the immortal words of Cole Porter, "It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely."
|Wonboyn Lake
|Wonboyn Lake is cocooned in rugged wilderness perfectly preserved by Ben Boyd National Park and Nadgee Nature Reserve. This is one of those paddles you know will be special before you even see the water.

As my esteemed colleague Leandro wrote a few days ago, long-haul flights in economy class are something of a crash course on survival. Being cooped up in an enclosed space for more than eight hours is bad enough, but when you factor in cramped seats and extremely limited wiggle room, it gets downright hellish.
Perhaps the most effective way to ensure a pleasant flying experience is to purchase a first-class or business-class ticket, but let's be real, most of us here can't exactly afford that.
There is, however, one way to experience flying first-class without having to empty your pockets, and that is via an upgrade. So, how does one avail of this coveted, borderline mythical benefit?
Now, there are lots of tips online pertaining to this endeavor. Travelers, for instance, are often advised to dress like they belong in business class. A friend of mine who's a flight attendant once confided to me that they tend to look for well-dressed passengers in case there happens to be vacancies in first class.
Then there are those who swear by arriving at the airport early and being extra polite to the cabin crew at the check-in desk. Being on some sort of frequent flyer programme with the airline of your choice supposedly helps too, as members are often prioritized in the event of available upgrades.
But, hey, guess what? There are actually two ways that can just about guarantee you a first-class seat and neither of them require dressing nattily or being extra chatty with the ground crew.
The Silver Lining On Overbooked Flights
Airlines are actually allowed to overbook their flights by up to 10% to make up for any no-shows. If you find yourself on one and are in no hurry to get to your destination, it could very well turn out to be a blessing.
You see, when a flight is overbooked, airlines are legally obliged to offer its passengers all sorts of compensation to entice them to give up their seat on the plane. These can include a free ticket, or, more commonly, a free upgrade on the next available flight. It's basically their way of thanking you for being so flexible.
Should you want to try out this hack, be sure to do so when you've got a flexible schedule that won't get seriously derailed by a delayed flight. And just so you're aware, peak travel times are usually from Mondays to Thursdays, when businessmen take up seats in economy class and aren't likely to take the airline up on its offer, leaving you free to nab that free upgrade in exchange for (hopefully) a slight delay.
Defective Seats
Can't quite bring yourself to give up your rightful seat on the plane? Fret not, should you be (un) lucky enough, there's still a chance for you to get upgraded.
Before you take your assigned seat in economy class, give it a once-over. Are the seatbelts working? Do the outlets for your earphones function properly? Does the seat cover have no rips or snags in the fabric?
Should there be any damage to your assigned seat, notify a flight attendant right away. Provided that the economy class seats are all booked up on your flight (see the previous section), there's a very good chance that they'll have to move you up to business class, which is hardly ever full.
Just don't damage the seat yourself, of course, lest you end up getting arrested and booted off the flight instead.
Lastly, should neither option be viable, you can always just buckle down and consult our tips for making long-haul flights more bearable right here.
Happy Flying!

About Him
Living… in Baltimore. A veteran of the Vietnam War, Freamon worked in the homicide unit of the Baltimore Police Department until he crossed the Deputy Commissioner. In order to get back at Freamon, the Deputy Commissioner reassigned him to the pawnshop unit, where he worked for 13 years.
Profession… police officer – and a damn good one! After over a decade of languishing in the pawnshop unit, he was finally reassigned to the Major Crimes Unit, where he proved an unexpected and invaluable asset to the investigation of the Avon Barksdale and Marlo Stanfield drug organizations. As Freamon's colleague Bunk Moreland says, Lester is "natural police."
Interests… building miniature dollhouse furniture. Freamon took up such an eccentric hobby to alleviate the monotony of the pawnshop unit. Detective Jimmy McNulty makes fun of him for it, but the miniatures sell extremely well and give Freamon a hefty supplement to his modest police salary.
Relationship Status… dating Shardene Innes. Shardene used to dance for Orlando's, a strip club that laundered money for the Barksdale organization. Freamon exhibits previously unseen warmth as he coaxes Shardene into becoming an informant for the Major Crimes Unit. His warmth is no manipulative police trick; he takes a genuine shine to her.
Challenge… dealing with the politics of policework. Freamon wants only to take down criminals—all the more difficult when the criminals he's chasing happen to be politicians. It was a case with political ties that originally got him demoted to the pawnshop unit. When working for the Major Crimes Unit, Freamon unleashes a flurry of subpoenas for the investigation of state senator Clay Davis, whom he suspects of having financial ties to drug organizations. Deputy Commissioner Rawls summons him and delivers an ultimatum: if the case continues, he says, he will bring down the hammer on not only Freamon but Freamon's co-workers, Detectives Greggs and Sydnor.
Personality… intelligent, understated, and old school. He sees detective work as a pure, philosophical pursuit. He appreciates the process of acquiring and assembling the pieces of the puzzle, and he has a short fuse when something or someone disrupts the sanctity of the process. His colleagues look at him and see raw police intuition. His superiors often see only "brash, tweedy impertinence."
Lester Freamon's popularity ranking on CharacTour is #3107 out of 5,600+ characters. See our top-ranked characters and read their profiles.

text: School holidays can be very distracting but I had a whole day to myself yesterday and made the most of it. I have now threaded the dried calyxes (can you have a plural?) onto stiff wire and have started wrapping the wire around the upper part of the dress. It looks rather like a razor/barbed wire barrier and certainly feels like it when it impales itself in your tender little pinkies! I hope to achieve an impression of both fragility and strength…..

i personally prefer Domination Hypnosis over Erotic Hypnosis. i like the feeling of being transformed and molded, willfully or not, to benefit my Owners. My thoughts and reality, bent gradually to my Owners purpose and design.
Willfully or not always being an interesting concept in Domination Hypnosis. i am a fetishist of Brainwashing, Mind Control and Hypnosis. i craved it before meeting my Owners. Everyday i always strive to find ways to do more for the Benefit, Care, Comfort & Well-being of my Owners. Their Conditioning continues to insure my efficiency, motivation and dedication towards this state of mind. As i constantly crave and desire to move the limit of this Conditioning i sometimes wonder "How much is of my own volition and how much is being motivated by my Owners Programming and Conditioning?"
That is part of what i love and seek: the mindful confusions. And, let us not forget, the occasional new behaviors that suddenly appear without remembering when they started.
For example, for some months now, every new Hypnosis file Session released by my Owners make me uncontrollably aroused and excited. i am eager to open my mind and perfect myself.
Lady Helena's previous Session, Dumbed Down was wonderful and delighted me with its more extreme content. Her latest one, Helena Time, while not as extreme, astounded me none the less.
The session starts with a very powerful induction to which i rapidly blanked out. But midway through, a phenomenal Mindless state takes over. i became conscious to a certain degree but felt my head completely empty, devoid of thought, eager to receive Lady Helena's commands. i have rarely felt such perfect sustained Mindlessness. Repeated listening of the Session has confirmed, at least for me, this incredible experience.
Helena Time is a Session based on Trust, aimed at opening our Mind and to let Her establish Herself within it. Being aware while this process happens is a rewarding feeling that makes it all the more intimate. It makes Her commands and teaching easier to follow and obey. It also creates an amazing state of serene happiness that drives us to the Thoughtless, open and relaxed state i was talking about. Because of this, this Session has contributed to my Obedience and desires towards my Owners in a very unique way.
The best part, is that this Session makes a good starting point for anyone who shares my fetishes. Even if you are not a slave to Goddess Shelle or Lady Helena, this Session will give you a great reference as to what to expect in terms of quality and approach from an Hypno-Domme.
i strongly recommend this Session, may it be a guide to start your own journey.

Other Than That
My kid and I were on vacation the week before he went back to school. On the last day of our week together, we both took a nap, and I woke up with a numb arm. I figured that I slept on it wrong and kept it pushing . . . until it was still numb a couple hours later. It was numb but not weak, and I wasn't sure what to do. On one hand, I knew that numbness in the left arm isn't something I should ignore. On the other hand, I didn't want to jump over to the ER and pay for some that turned out to be a minor, non-emergency.
I called my husband to talk it out. I also called my primary doctor's office. We all agreed I should at least get it checked out. I packed up my little one. My hubby came home early from work, and we made our way to the local Urgent Care facility. When I walked into the lobby, the nurse asked me what was wrong with me. Almost the moment I said arm numbness, the staff said I needed to go the ER. I did NOT want to go the ER. I wasn't sick. My body was just doing a weird thing I couldn't explain, and I needed someone to tell me what my body was trying to tell me. I didn't want the ER hassle, and I didn't want the ER bill. I kept thinking about that bill. But alas, I went.
We pulled into the hospital driveway. When I entered the hospital, I walked up to a desk that had a registration sign above it.
Nurse: "Can I help you?"
Me: "Yes, my left arm is numb."
Nurse: "Oh honey, you want to go to the ER for that."
Apparently, I walked through the wrong door, and was in one of the "non-emergency" sections of the hospital. I didn't feel like my arm was an emergency, but all the people with medical degrees were treating me like I did. So, I found the right door and checked into the ER.
Nurses checked my vitals, asked me all sorts of questions, and within twenty minutes a doctor was in the room with me. As she walked in, my arm started to feel better. I thought, "Am a going crazy here? Is this whole thing a hoax?" My arm had been numb for hours, but the moment the doctor entered the room, it felt better. We talked, and the doctor said I probably slept on it wrong. She did not recommend running blood tests, etc. I didn't show any signs of heart attack or stroke. It just seemed to be a nerve issue, specifically in my arm. I felt a little silly for going to the ER in the first place, but I thanked the doctor for helping me and my hubby for taking me. I got back to life and tried to forget about it.
A day later, it happened again. This time, I wasn't laying on it or anything strange. I tried to put it out of my mind and went for a walk. Within hours it got better again.
Two days later, it happened again. I wasn't laying on it. I was in church, listening to the sermon and taking notes. So, we headed back to the ER. On our way out of church I cried out of frustration. I just wanted to feel better and get back to my life.
This time they asked questions, checked my vitals, checked my heart and head. I even got a pregnancy test. Surprise of surprises . . . I'm not pregnant. I felt a little silly for doing all this, but I kept moving forward. My body was telling me something, and I hoped to find out what it was this time around.
The doctor came back in with the results. My heart and brain were normal, but there was a small amount of arthritis in my neck that was probably causing some inflammation. He said, other than that, I appeared to be in good health. He referred me to a neurologist for a follow up visit and said I would probably just get better with time.
"Other than that . . . "
It's such a funny phrase. I little neck issue took so much of my attention. My mind obsessed over the arm numbness for three days. I had perfect health otherwise, but before I knew that, it took everything in me not to freak out or believe the worst. To a doctor who sees real emergencies all the time, my issue was minor.
"Other than that . . . "
I have a good life, but the moment something threatens that good life, I tend to obsess about what needs to be "fixed." The awesomeness I get to experience everyday becomes background noise to the issue at hand, and I forget what living means.
Should I have gone to the ER? Absolutely. I needed to know what was going on in my body, no matter the financial cost. My wellbeing is a priority. But in many ways the whole thing was more of a metaphor for how I choose to live my life sometimes. Sometimes I am in reactive mode, running around my life trying to fix things that I think are wrong. But a better way to live my life is to slow down and decide what I want the "garden" of my life to look like. I need to plant those seeds, tend to the garden and enjoy the fruits of my labor. If some weeds get in there, I can get them out without neglecting the whole garden. I should tend to my life with patience and compassion because it is a gift from God.
To the person dealing with much more difficult health issues, I see you. You are brave, you are loved and you are so much more than the thing that's happening in your body. Keep tending to your garden, and don't let this thing distract you from your good life.

Yorkshire were waiting to discover today whether their 'manifestly disproportionate' expulsion from the Twenty20 Cup will be overturned.
The county have appealed the England and Wales Cricket Board's decision to throw them out of the competition for fielding an ineligible player.
Yorkshire will present their case at at Taunton today in a session chaired by David Gabbitass.
The outcome of the appeal will finally end a week-long saga that has made a mockery of this year's Twenty20 Cup.
It began late last Monday when the quarter-final between Durham and Yorkshire was called off just five minutes before the scheduled start.
The ECB had ordered its postponement after discovering the visitors had fielded an unregistered player, spinner Azeem Rafiq, in their decisive final North Division match at Nottinghamshire on June 27.
An ECB disciplinary commission decided on Thursday that the offence warranted Yorkshire's expulsion from the competition, to the surprise and dismay of the club.
The severity of the punishment appeared to hinge on an accusation they had been advised about problems with Rafiq's registration more than a year ago, something Yorkshire vehemently deny.
Although they accept they are ultimately to blame for the eligibility debacle, they insist they only became aware of the issue three days before the quarter-final at Chester-le-Street.
Their appeal will also argue they gained no competitive advantage by playing 17-year-old Rafiq, who made his first-team debut in the match at Trent Bridge after England captain Michael Vaughan was ordered to rest by the ECB.
Rafiq – who was born in Pakistan and does not hold a British passport – did not take a wicket or bat in the match.
The Tykes are not the only side waiting on the outcome of the appeal, with Durham and Nottinghamshire also affected by what transpires.
If the ECB disciplinary commission's decision is upheld, Notts will travel to Durham for a re-arranged quarter-final after being reinstated in Yorkshire's place.
If the appeal is successful, the Tykes could still be made to replay their final group match against Notts, with the winners advancing to the quarter-finals.
Yorkshire have indicated they would view this as an acceptable punishment for the offence, a precedent for which was set in 2000 when Worcestershire were ordered to replay a cup tie against Gloucestershire for fielding an ineligible player.
Durham, meanwhile, are far from happy at having to play a quarter-final at all.
They believe they should have advanced straight to finals day on July 26, in which Middlesex await the winners of the re-arranged last-eight clash.
All the clubs remaining in the competition are desperate to reach the final, with the the winners and runners-up both qualifying for October's inaugural Champions League in which an unprecedented £2.5million is the first prize.

Caring with Lung Cancer Questions Answered
Caring and Lung Cancer
According to a study carried out by the British Lung Foundation, more than 85,000 people living in the UK have received a lung cancer diagnosis since 2004. With the disease being more prevalent in the 71-80 age bracket, it is not uncommon for people receiving care to have the condition.
For people living with lung cancer, it can be an overwhelming and isolating experience which is why it is important to make sure that you understand what help is available. Based on the experiences of our carers, and guidance from Cancer Research UK and the British Lung Foundation, we've compiled a list of resources that focus on two of the most important contributing factors in coping with cancer: people and funding.
When you are living with a disease, the way you are treated by other people makes an enormous difference to your wellbeing and ability to cope. Outside of friends and family, there are a number of professionals that are on hand to help:
Your GP should be your first port of call if you have any concerns. As well as answering questions about your medication or dealing with symptoms related to your illness, they can refer you to a variety of nursing services. This NHS page will help you find your GP if you do not know.
District nurses give help and care to housebound patients and those resident in nursing homes. They can assess your needs, provide advice, and help with tasks such as monitoring drips and checking temperature and blood pressure. They will work in tandem with your GP and other services where required such as Macmillan or Social Services.
If your cancer is life-limiting, palliative care nurses will provide advice and help with pain control, sickness and other symptoms of cancer. They also provide emotional support and can direct you to sources of practical help.
Specialist carers can be privately engaged either on a home-visit or live-in basis to provide tailored support that is specific to your needs and preferences. Services can range from toileting and dressing right through to companionship and specialist end of life care.
Helpd.co.uk is an introductory service for carers. Please call us on 0118 449 2373 to find out more.
When you are seriously ill, money worries can make you feel worse and lead to further health complications including anxiety and depression. Thanks to the efforts of leading charities, understanding what you're entitled to is now a more straightforward process.
Macmillan Cancer Support has an excellent set of calculators that help to make money one less thing to worry about. What is so positive about their approach is that they have also looked at ways to make sure you can continue to enjoy life – for example providing advice on how to obtain travel insurance.
Macmillan Benefits Calculator: https://finance.macmillan.org.uk/benefits/benefits-online
Macmillan Budget Calculator: https://finance.macmillan.org.uk/budget-calculator
For those caring for a loved one living with lung cancer, the British Lung Foundation has lots of useful advice on how to access benefits, how to get support in completing paperwork and how to apply for respite care: https://www.blf.org.uk/support-for-you/welfare-benefits/carers
Finally, the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation has a range of additional services designed to help people living with lung cancer. This includes discounts on shopping, free will writing services and access to support groups.
If you need someone to listen
Many people find it hard to discuss illness and find it difficult to know what to say to someone who is seriously unwell. According to Macmillan, people with strong emotional support tend to adjust better to the changes that cancer brings to their lives, so it is important to keep talking.
By the same token, people living with a life-limiting illness may feel that they don't want to burden their loved ones by talking about their illness. This can lead to increased isolation at a time when social contact is vital.
In both cases, there are services designed to be there, listen and help. Here are three that specialise in helping people living with, or affected by, lung cancer.
Macmillan Cancer Support: 0808 808 00 00
British Lung Foundation: 03000 030 555
Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation: 0333 323 7200
At Helpd, we provide a dedicated online introductory service that connects you to compassionate, highly-skilled carers whose experiences include helping people living with cancer. To find out more about what we do, visit www.helpd.co.uk
