Lodge Overview
If you are looking for seclusion, luxury and the ultimate in fine service - all located in one of the most remote areas of the Serengeti - Kirawira Tented Lodge is an experience not to be missed! Hemmed in by the dense Acacia groves that envelope the banks of the Grumeti River, Kirawira's lofty location on a hilltop offers sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding woodlands.
Kirawira Tented Lodge is a member of the prestigious 'Small Luxury Hotels of the World' and is certainly one of the most luxurious tented lodges in all of Tanzania. Posh yes, but pretentious no! The team at Kirawira Camp is not complacent about this prestigious award but seem to be constantly striving to provide the finest service possible. There is a stark contrast between the surrounding untamed wilderness and the sophisticated luxury you experience once you enter this canvas draped oasis, but it is a paradox that works beautifully.
Weary travelers are graciously greeted at the door with a hot towel and a cold refreshing drink by one of the attentive staff. The mahogany bar, lounge and dining tents are draped in khaki and canvas, allowing you to experience Africa's unique sights and sounds in open air ambience long after you've parked the land cruiser. The dining is exquisite, the wine list is long and white glove service leaves nothing to be desired. Close your day and contemplate the magic of Africa while you lounge in the refreshing blue pool. Or enjoy an evening sundowner on your own private veranda as banners of pink and gold stream over the evening sky.
As night envelopes the camp, bask in the warmth of a blazing campfire under a dancing canopy of stars. Once you are back at your own private tent, stretch out in your comfortable bed and allow the natural rhythms of the African night gently hum you to sleep. You may choose to sleep in, or pre-arrange to have the staff wake you bright and early with steaming hot coffee and delicious muffins delivered to your balcony. Keep an eye out for Henry, one of the resident genet cats, as he may steal unattended muffins left on your private balcony! (Although having the experience of meeting one of these beautiful genets in person is well worth the price of a muffin!)
Although there is plenty of resident wildlife to witness all year long, Kirawira offers especially splendid game viewing from May through mid July during the northward wildebeest migration. During the northward migration, Kirawira boasts a front seat to the thunderous theatre that is the million-strong wildebeest migration. Additionally, throughout the entire dry season (May to November), the surrounding area offers great wildlife viewing for resident animals including giraffe, elephant, lion, hyena, impala, topi, crocodile, hippo and several species of primates including the beautiful black and white colobus monkey (this species is only found in the Western Serengeti). Kirawira can also make a great spot in November when a portion of the southward migration may pass through the area especially if the onset of the rains is delayed. During November, some of the migratory wildebeest and zebra accumulate in the Western Serengeti before making their final southward leap to the southern Serengeti Plains.
Elegant yet intimate, accommodations consist of just 25 luxurious sleeping tents, 3 main tents (bar/lounge, dinning, gift shop) and an immaculate swimming pool. A charming blend of native wood, stained glass and jewel-hued Persian rugs compliment the African art decor. The main lodge facilities are located at the top and center of the hill while the sleeping tents are positioned around the perimeter of the hill.
The sleeping tents are spaced roughly 50 feet apart along bricked pathways, offering privacy and seclusion. Tents 1 - 15 have the best views, as these are set higher on the hill. Tents 16 - 25 are set farther down the hill and have a better bush feel. Tents 3 - 6 are the closest to the main lodge areas (i.e. dining tent) and are recommended for those individuals seeking more accessible accommodations.
Describing the rooms as tents is somewhat misleading and a better description might be luxury cabins under canvas. The tents are elevated above the ground being constructed on wooden stilts, which gives them a special charm not unlike a tree house. Each tent is accessed via a short set of stairs (about 10 - 15 steps), which leads to a beautiful private veranda. The verandas are well appointed with a small table and chairs (even hammocks upon request!) and offer stunning views of the woodlands below. It is possible to continue your safari experience from here with a pair of binoculars.
Each tent is tastefully decorated with hardwood furnishing in grand safari style. A delightful blend of lavish details and camp practicality, each room features generous four-poster beds, hand-made patchwork quilts and spacious trunk wardrobes. Write the day's events in your journal at the charming wooden writing table, fitted perfectly with a chair and brass lamps. To the rear of each tent is an elegant mahogany-paneled bathroom with his and her marble washstands, polished brass fittings, a black-and-white tiled shower and separate tiled compartment containing the toilet. There are electrical outlets in each tent, and since Kirawira Camp runs the generator 24-hours a day, it's easy to find time to charge those camera batteries.
Kirawira Camp is located in the western corridor of the Serengeti. Situated at the westerly end of the corridor, the lodge is roughly 20 miles east of Lake Victoria. The lodge lies just south of the Grumeti River, which runs almost the entire length of the corridor. Few visitors ever make it out to the western corridor and most are content just to game drive and lodge in the Central Serengeti. A rewarding experience awaits those willing to explore the remote western corridor, especially if the migration is pouring through.
Food and Drink
Expect excellent food and superb service at Kirawira Tented Lodge. The extensive menus at Kirawira features a full range of options to satisfy the most discerning of travelers. You will feel like true royalty as you are waited on hand and foot by a gracious staff donning traditional white Swahili robes and turbans.
Enjoy full English breakfasts and five-course meals served over starched napery on delicate blue china and weighty silver. Kirawira is especially known for their tasty breakfast pancakes, so be sure to indulge in these before heading off for a day 'in the bush.'
Savor elegant entrees made with the freshest of ingredients. You will always have the option to indulge in the local-flavored cuisine as well as familiar Western fare. The menu features delicate soups, sensational salads, hearty entrees, local cheese boards, decadent desserts and fresh-brewed Arabica coffee. A full selection of alcoholic beverages are served, and you'll find there an excellent wine list featuring both European and South African choices. Of course, if your appetite for game viewing outweighs your taste buds, the staff will gladly pack a delicious boxed breakfast and picnic lunch for you to enjoy while on safari.
Wake up calls are taken the night before and coffee or tea and muffins are delivered to your tent in the morning at the predetermined time. As previously mentioned, breakfast and lunch boxes are available, or you can choose to dine at the lodge in the dinning tent or on the outdoor patio. You will be escorted to and from dinner each night for safety reasons - after all you are in the middle of a very remote wilderness! Simply shine your flashlight outside of your tent to flag a member of the staff to escort you.

The Hampton Bays Historical & Preservation Society has several ongoing projects to restore historic buildings and sites within our town and surrounding areas of Southampton Town.
At the present time, a small chapel stands by the side of Canoe Place Road. It hasn't always been located on this postage-stamp piece of land. There are numerous accounts regarding the chapel's location; however, we do know that prior to 1898 the chapel stood on land south of the chapel's current location based on the Fithian map dated 1848 on which the chapel is designated 'Indian Meetinghouse.'
This chapel or meetinghouse served the community of Warnertown (Canoe Place) for generations. From local accounts the congregation was comprised of a mixed group of parishioners, black, white and Indian. Services were led by a series of itinerant ministers on Sundays, but during the week, did the structure also serve as a meetinghouse for the local families?
Based upon research conducted by Henry Moeller, emeritus member of the board of directors of the society, and Zach Studenroth, architectural historian, the design of 18th and 19th century Long Island meetinghouses and chapels evolved from 17th century building traditions in New England. The term 'meetinghouse' signified an assembly place built not only for church services, but also for town meetings and other public gatherings.
The Hampton Bays Historical & Preservation Society arranged to have the deed for the chapel signed over to the Town of Southampton by a surviving trustee of the chapel, Charlotte McAtic, who is a direct descendant of the Warner and Fanning families who were referenced in the 1898 deed. The historical society in an agreement with the Town of Southampton acts as steward for this structure.
An archaeological survey of the original site of the chapel/meetinghouse at 38 Canoe Place Road will begin shortly to ascertain the exact location of the structure in 1848. Then the building will be moved to that site and restored so that it can once again be used by the public for religious, community, educational and artistic purposes.
In the process of researching this building by various professional historians, it is our belief that the true history of the chapel/meetinghouse will be revealed.
This store or shop is closely related to the Prosper King House. For many years it was located adjacent to the King House and its history is tied to the King Family. It appears as "King Store" on an 1896 Hyde Map. Historian, Winifred Penny, indicates that this building was in existence prior to 1896 and owned by Barney Smith. The structure has not yet been examined professionally by an architectural historian and we need to obtain a more exact date for its construction.
Based on information provided by Myron Lyzon King, great-grandson of Prosper King, the Lyzon Hat Shop was originally a general store operated by his grandfather, Elisha King. In approximately 1910 the store had a fire which partially demolished the building. From fabric that survived the fire in the store, Elisha's son, Walter Howard King, began designing hats.
Walter was born and raised in Good Ground; he commuted to Patchogue to attend high school. Later, he attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY where he studied commercial art and window dressing. After Walter's mother became ill, he returned to Good Ground to take care of her. With his design talents and his wife, Helen's, millinery skills they soon had a profitable business, "Lyzon Hats."
Initially, Walter and Helen worked out of the front porch on the Prosper King House. By 1920 they rebuilt the burned structure next door adding a second story and a large work shop in the rear. The work shop originally came from the World War I Camp Upton, Brookhaven, NY where the building served as the camp theater. Over the years, the work shop was allowed to deteriorate to the extent that the Town of Southampton required its demolition as an unsafe structure in 2006.
At this time, the Hampton Bays Historical & Preservation Society while actively restoring the Prosper King House recognized the importance of saving the Lyzon Hat Shop as well. With the consent of the developer, Bryan Whalen, the hat shop was lifted and moved about thirty feet to the east where it is now sited next door to the King House.
Walter developed a large following for his hats after he made a trip to Paris to enter a fashion show. The US Ambassador to France complemented Walter in saying that Lyzon brought American style to Paris. After Walter's return to Hampton Bays his clients included the well to do of Southampton society as well as European royalty.
To accommodate his patrons, Walter placed card tables on the front lawn of the shop so that all of the chauffeurs could entertain themselves while their ladies were having hats created . The historical society has amassed a collection of Lyzon Hats that we plan to exhibit when the shop is restored. At present, plans have not been finalized for its location or use.
In 2004 an historic building (Ada's Attic) was put on the market for sale. Title research undertaken by Henry Moeller, member of the HBH&PS' board of directors, showed this house was built circa 1830 by Prosper King, a member of a prominent Southampton Town family. Members of the historical society approached the owners of Ada's Attic and obtained a promise from them not to sell the structure until the society had an opportunity to raise monies to purchase it for their headquarters. All of the Hampton Bays' civic organizations united behind the society in its fundraising efforts. There was a groundswell of public sentiment to save the King house from demolition. At this time the Southampton Town Council voted to purchase the building with Community Preservation Funds and to have the historical society act as stewards in its restoration. The house was purchased in 2005 and landmarked by the Southampton Landmarks and Historic Districts Board.
The stewardship agreement between the Town and HBH&PS explains that the building will be used as an historical, educational, and cultural center, which may include exhibits in a museum setting, art galleries, and a local history repository library. The King House will become the home of the historical society in which state of the arts preservation facilities will insure proper storage of the society's archives to benefit future generations.
An architectural historian, Zach Studenroth, examined the building after it was gutted and determined that the structure was older than first estimated. Instead of dating to 1830, the construction methods and materials indicated that the building dated to circa 1790—making it one of the oldest buildings in Hampton Bays.
Archaeologists, Chris Matthews and Jenna Coplin, from Hofstra University conducted research on the site and obtained numerous artifacts that assist in the conducted research on the site and obtained numerous artifacts that assist in the dating of the building and in showing the material culture that existed in its early history.
Restoration of the building to date has included lifting the structure to install a new foundation and new supporting beams. The goal of continuing restoration efforts is to return the building to its appearance in 1850 which has been documented from a Chace map (1850) of Suffolk County, NY.
Within the hamlet of Hampton Bays are Southampton Town-Owned Cemeteries and Monument:
• Fournier Cemetery
• Hubbard Cemetery
• Paul Cuffee Monument
The Hampton Bays Historical & Preservation Societyrecognizes the cemeteries are of hamlet-wide concern and interest, the society formed a Cemetery Task Force comprised of thirteen members from various local civic organizations in November 2007.
The committee members were informed of the ongoing research work taking place for all Town owned cemeteries by the University of Pennsylvania. This project began three years ago through the urging of Dr. Henry Moeller, then Historian to the Town of Southampton and the leadership of Linda Kabot, then Town Councilwoman. Zach Studenroth, architectural historian and director, Sag Harbor Whaling Museum, outlined the various phases of the project and enlisted the U of PA to complete the survey of gravesites. To date all of the cemeteries have been studied, their tombstones photographed with a detailed description of the data contained on the stones, a condition assessment of the stones, and their exact location.
This information is on CD and paper format within the Southampton Town Clerk's office.

The Various Haunts of Men (Simon Serrailler Crime Novels) (original 2004; edition 2007)
by Susan Hill
Work details
The Various Haunts of Men by Susan Hill (2004)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A haunting mystery and beautifully written, but the book's marketing leads to expectations which mar the actual experience. While considered to be the first of the Simon Serrailler series, Serrailler himself is a minor character here, and I wonder if the book was originally intended as a stand alone. Although the drama of this entry does contribute to later character development, don't expect to see or learn much about the series' main character. But do read it for the interesting mystery that it is.
I found this book rather laboured.
The plot was fine but the novel moved at a turgid, almost glacial pace. That needn't be a negative characteristic if the author is offering us perfectly drawn characters and beautiful prose. In this instance, however, neither of those characteristics were on hand to rescue this book from being simply rather dull.
In fact, I can hardly summon the mental energy to attempt to say much more about it. Some people disappear and Detective Chief Inspector Simon Serailler investigates.
These days, the book market is abhors anything that isn't part of a series. So much of how a book is marketed now depends on whether it will make a good television series on BBC or a good trilogy of movies. Mystery writers have long given us the lives of their heroes in installments, reaching back into their lives to fill out the characters psyche, while finding new and interesting ways to torment them in their present. I'm not opposed to following a character through many books, especially well-rounded and complex ones. They become old friends after a time. But if you're going to set out to write a series of books, hung on one character, then you had better swing for the fences the first time out. Susan Hill, with [The Various Haunts of Men], strikes out swinging.
[The Various Haunts of Men] was largely entertaining. It didn't suffer until I realized I'd read nearly two-thirds of the book without learning anything substantive about Simon Serrailler, the Detective Chief Inspector who is meant to be the common thread in her series of books. In fact, I was sort of taken with the real main character of the book, Detective Sergeant Freya Graffham. She is tough, smart, and complex, right up to the moment that she meets DCI Serrailler for the first time. Then, she melts into absolute mush, unable to think straight or act appropriately. That's when things come off the rails – they get back on the rails occasionally whenever DS Graffham isn't pining away or biting her nails about Serrailler.
And, to misquote Moonstruck, what Hill don't know about men is a lot. There are always complaints when a male writes shallow and hormonally charged women characters, but rarely the opposite. Hill barely give Serrailler enough time in the spotlight to even be a complete character. Oh sure, he is the eccentric artist/copper, running off to Italy and Spain to sketch the world. He returns to command a small-town police force and do battle with a bitter and angry father. He is big and strong and mysterious, though the mystery is fueled only by Hill's lack of attention to the man. Come on, give him a Fabio, wind-swept coif and a torn uniform shirt. Mostly, Hill refers to Serrailler through the female characters as they lust and pine from a distance.
Then, we get to the psychopath. I admire authors like Dashiell Hammett, Mickey Spillane, and Sue Grafton, who write mysteries about everyday police work. Not every crime has a fully-formed psychopath lurking in the shadows. Not every crime is a series of sexually motivated murders. But Hill makes sure that this sleepy, tiny town has its own serial killer. If you can get past the sensationalism of it all, you find that he is not even a very good psychopath. He kills himself in the end, an extremely rare behavior for someone who is motivated only by narcissism and is largely devoid of human emotions of guilt and fear. Outside of that glaring mistake, though, Hill manages to hit all of the tired stereotypes to be had on Wikipedia about psychopaths.
So, why did I even rate this book as average. Well, for all of the faults, I really liked DS Graffham and the investigation she puts into the case – as long as she wasn't thinking or talking about Serrailler. Really, the book should have been subtitled, 'A DS Freya Graffham myster.' She is really the only one involved in the investigation. Sadly, Graffham is killed in the end, by the psychopath – had they already started the BBC Masterpiece Mystery for this one at the time of publication?
Bottom Line: The debut to a series of books that firmly warned me off of reading the rest of the series – too much stereotypical romance and psychopathic nonsense. A good character wasted and killed off, one that could have been interesting to follow for a long time.
3 bones!!!!!
First in a series. A mystery, with a whole cast of wonderful characters; women gone missing without a trace; a colony of "alternative" healers, legitimate and otherwise; a mysterious pathological "pathologist"; a small cathedral town with its own minor set of "stones" on the Hill.... It grabbed me and kept me reading much like the Tana French Dublin murder squad series, or the Jackson Brodie books. But Hill does French and Atkinson one better, in a gutsy way I can't reveal without spoiling the story. Billed as the first Simon Serrailler mystery, it's really more about one of his squad, Detective Sergeant Freya Graffham, from whose point of view much of the story is told. There are other POV's as well, but she comes across as the primary character here. Serrailler is quite a minor player, apart from the fact that Freya falls hard for him and struggles with what to do about that. I loved it.
This was my first Simon Serrailer book, I really enjoyed the story, the atmosphere, the characters and the sense of place.
The use of the victims' perspectives was an unusual and very effective approach.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I Found a home I Want to Purchase, How Do I Make an Offer? Santa Clarita Real Estate Update
Once you have found the home you wish to purchase, you will need to determine what offer you are willing to make for the home. It is important to remember that the more competition there is for the home, the higher the offer should be – sometimes even exceeding the asking price. Remember, be realistic. Make offers you want the other party to sign!
To communicate your interest in purchasing a home, we will present the listing agent with a written offer. When the seller accepts an offer it becomes a legal contract. When you write an offer you should be prepared to pay an earnest money deposit. This is to guarantee that your intention is to purchase the property.
After we present your offer to the listing agent it will either be accepted, rejected, or the seller will make a counter-offer. This is when we will negotiate terms of the contract if necessary.
The step-by-step contract procedure for most single-family home purchases is standard. The purchase agreement used is a standard document approved by our local real estate board.
The purchase agreement or contract constitutes your offer to buy and, once accepted by the seller, becomes a valid, legal contract. For this reason, it is important to understand what is written on the contract offer.

Dependable hangout spot.
This is definitely one of the finest hangout spots I've ever been to. Ambiance here can be termed multifarious. The range of hookahs offered here is commendable. Although serving food items seem to be a bit lagging, quality is surely up to the mark. Chicken delicacies should be tried out.

Cartoonists in a church. All hail the fun that is the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival! Last Saturday, the main event of the festival, ( free to the public), was held at Williamsburg's Lady of Mount Carmel Church, overflowing with toon aficionados.
Simultaneously, panels were being held a few blocks down at The Knitting Factory. The first panel of the day, The Architecture of Comics, featured Chris Ware, Richard McGuire, and Art Spiegelman. The place was so packed for this talk, you couldn't even get in the door. It was rumored even Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, couldn't get in. This is the third year in a row that Groening came to the event to buy comics and hang out.
Forget about Comic Con. No super heroes here. The two floors were jam-packed with fresh-to-death graphics and biting humor. And art just dripping with amazing: Killer Acid (www.killeracid.com) really spoke to me. Their motto is "Fried Our Brains So You Don't Have To." They are like martyrs really, with their demon pizzas that look cute enough to eat, but too scary to consume. Also appropriately featured was the work of Matt Crabe whose very twisted, (and twistedly awesome), art mimicked the format of church hymns. "With these graphics," he told me, "You're making your own mythology. I just do what I want with it."
I wanted to purchase Tom Kaczynski's graphic novel Beta Testing The Apocalypse, but it was sold out. "The title is touching a line from one of the comics," he explained. "Theres a line in here called "The Cozy Apocalypse' and I used it for the title of the book. I feel like every couple years we come up with a new apocalypse we need to worry about. So this book kind of pretenses a bunch of apocalypses for you."
Chris Ware's new book Building Stories was building up quite a storm. There was a book signing line so long for him, that they had to cut it off early. Despite his sea of admirers, he remained humble and shy. I asked him how felt about the response to his book. "I'm very flattered and surprised." He said that he was inspired by "any cartoonist or artist who is serious about what they do."
I was also psyched to meet Art Spiegelman, the artist behind the 1991 classic graphic novel Maus. I never thought he would speak to me, let alone say the word "tits," but he did when he described what he doodles when he's not drawing for work. Tits, among other things, without thinking about it. He joked, "It's like, oh shit, I drew dogs again. I don't know why!"
Although Saturday was the main event, Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival was hardly limited to that day. It was days long, chock full of galleries and events stationed around the borough. There was also a shitload of amazing screenings, such as this trippy diddy from 1981:
The Hungarian animated film entitled Fehérlófia (Son Of The White Mare) was fascinating, and inspiring.
The fest really is an amazing event put together by Desert Island, PictureBox and Bill Kartalopoulos, designed to educate, entertain and inspire, all made up of four parts: galleries, films/performances, lectures, and artists and publishers selling and showing off their nifty publications. Bill Kartalopoulos stated that he likes Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival to "showcase the very best of what's current and vital in comics and related art forms." And making it free to the general public, he added, "helps us reach the broadest possible audience of potentially interested people and hopefully generate more enthusiasm and excitement for all this awesome work."

El-Harbawi, Mohanad M-A. (2002) Stability Of Thin Liquid Film Under Effect Of Apolar And Electrostatic Forces On A Horizontal Plane. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
The understanding of stability, dynamics and morphology of supported th (<100nm) liquid films and nanodrops are important in phenomena like flotation, adhesion of fluid particles to surfaces, kinetics and thermodynamics of precursor films in wetting, heterogeneous nucleation, film boiIing/condensation, multilayer adsorption/film pressure, instability of biological films/membranes, and many other areas While the wetting of surface by large drops is relatively well understood, wetting charactenstics of nanodrops and films have not been extensively studied in some applications like trickle bed reactors, thick coating, contact equipment for heat and mass transfer. and the like Factors that would affect the total free excess energy (per unit area) of a thin film on a substrate include the film thickness, as well as the apolar and electrostatic spreading coefficients for the system. The dynamics of the liquid film is formulated using the Navier-Stokes equations augmented by a body forces describing the apolar and electrostatic interactions.

Event: Channel 4 -Talent Boutique for Disabled Talent Seeking Careers in Television
Reposted from the 4Talent website
Are you disabled or have an impairment and you're thinking about a career in the media industry?
On the evening of Tuesday 6 March 2012, Channel 4 are hosting their third Talent Boutique for disabled talent.
Last year they connected over 150 disabled job seekers with Channel 4 staff providing a platform to network and find out more about off-screen media careers.
As Channel 4 is a publisher broadcaster they have the benefit of connecting people to rewarding media careers in Advertising Sales, Human Resources, Marketing, Finance, Research, Online and many other departments.
Those that attended their last event in October 2011 had the following to say:
"It is really inspirational that Channel 4 is tackling the issue of disability confidence so openly"
"It was really refreshing to attend something where no one asked any of the expected questions"
"I learnt a tremendous amount and there are a number of people with whom I am keen to keep in touch"

The Changing Face of Jesus
Religious imagery has dominated much of the history of art, leaving artists with the challenge of how to depict the face of Jesus Christ. Here's a look at how images of Jesus' face have changed over the centuries.

Friend: Michael Hastings Was Working on "Biggest Story Yet" About CIA
Sgt. Joe Biggs says journalist would never have driven at high speed
Paul Joseph Watson
A friend of Michael Hastings told Fox News today that the Rolling Stone journalist was working on the "the biggest story yet" about the CIA before his suspicious death and that Hastings drove "like a grandma," making it extremely out of character for him to be speeding in the early hours of the morning.
Sgt. Joe Biggs told Fox News' Megyn Kelly that "something didn't feel right" after Hastings sent a panicked email saying the authorities were on his tail, adding that the story of him driving at high speed in the early hours of the morning was completely out of character.
"His friends and family that know him, everyone says he drives like a grandma, so that right there doesn't seem like something he'd be doing, there's no way that he'd be acting erratic like that and driving out of control," said Biggs, adding that "things don't add up, there's a lot of questions that need to be answered."
Biggs said he had contacted Mercedes asking them if it was normal for their cars to "blow up to that extent" and for the engine to fly out 100 feet from the site of the crash.
Biggs also confirmed that Hastings was working on a story about the CIA and that it was "going to be the biggest story yet."
As we reported yesterday
, questions surrounding the death of Hastings are not only the domain of conspiracy theorists. Former counter-terror czar under two different presidents Richard Clarke told the Huffington Post that the fatal crash of Hastings' Mercedes C250 Coupe was "consistent with a car cyber attack."
"So if there were a cyber attack on the car -- and I'm not saying there was," he said, adding "I think whoever did it would probably get away with it," and that "intelligence agencies for major powers" have such capabilities.
Clarke's speculation that Hastings' vehicle could have been remotely hijacked is echoed by Salon.com's Andrew Leonard, who cites two studies by researchers at the University of Washington and the University of California, San Diego,
"Experimental Security Analysis of a Modern Vehicle,"
"Comprehensive Experimental Analyses of Automotive Attack Surfaces."
The studies detail how "it is a relatively trivial exercise to access the computer systems of a modern car and take control away from the driver."
Questions about the circumstances behind Hastings' death have persisted because he made a number of enemies in positions of power.
After Wikileaks reported that Hastings had contacted them in the hours before his death complaining about being under investigation by the FBI, the federal agency denied the claim.
According to Hastings' colleague Cenk Uygur, the writer was, "incredibly tense and very worried, and was concerned that the government was looking in on his material," and also a "nervous wreck" in response to the surveillance of journalists revealed by the AP phone tapping scandal and the NSA PRISM scandal.
BuzzFeed editor Ben Smith added that Hastings had told friends and family "he was concerned that he was under investigation."
Another close friend who wishes to remain anonymous said that Hastings was "very paranoid that he was being watched by the FBI."
It subsequently emerged that Hastings
had written a panicked email
shortly before his death telling his friends and colleagues that he was going into hiding to escape the attention of the authorities.
"Hey -- the feds are interviewing my "close friends and associates," the message said. "Also: I'm onto a big story, and need to go off the [radar] for a bit."

Sasha Cohen, the Olympic figure skater.
Good for you for explaining it to your friend!
March 2nd, 2013 10:59 AM #23
DO know the relevance of Cohen to the Jewish faith, but use it because "I'm not Jewish."
I was on Yahoo! Answers once, and someone asked about using the name Cohen, and the very first answer pointed out the cultural significance. Several parents who had used Cohen posted, saying they had known about it's meaning to the Jewish faith, but used it anyway as they weren't Jewish so it didn't bother them. I was shocked!
Should have been more clear what I meant.♥ Margaret Mary ♥

Mom accused of neglecting 3-week-old
A local mother has been arrested, accused of neglecting her 3-week-old baby, leading to a skull fracture.
Koryn Gazaway, 23, was arrested on Tuesday after an investigation lasting about three weeks.
In late September, her then-3-week-old infant was taken to the hospital with a large bump on the child's head.
Gazaway first said nothing had happened, then said the child fell from her lap while she sat on a stool, then she said she tripped over a baby gate while carrying the baby.
Investigators said she tested positive at the hospital for marijuana and a muscle relaxer.

The English faculty here at Mount St. Mary's College represents a wide range of expertise and interests. Together with our diversity, what we have in common is a dedication to developing excellent writers and thinkers, as well as women with a breadth and depth of knowledge of the world's literary heritage. Because the department is fairly small and very informal, we make sure that every student has the opportunity for personal attention in and out of class. Much of our writing instruction is on a one-on-one basis in writing conferences. Students receive individual academic advisement by an English faculty member. We frequently become mentors to students with whom we have worked. We know our majors, and we take pride in them.
Members of the department have taken leadership in the college in the development of the Women's Studies program, new multicultural courses, and in designing new approaches to learning through technology in the classroom.

Lovely stone
By Image Queen
from Hamilton, ON
Wore this ring every day and was amazed at its beauty. One problem was the post that allowed the rotation to a pendant broke off. The warranty has expired so I will have to pay for the repair. I will definetley get the ring fixed as it is a beautiful setting and a stunning addition to my ammonite collection. I will rate this item low due to its poor workmanship.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

......Still Waiting
By Pace Bunny
from Montreal, QC
I have to agree with the review that Marjorie from Edmonton wrote. Here's why. I ordered the SS ring/pendant and to this date I am waiting to received a ring which is set with a decent quality stone. I so far have returned 2 ring/pendants because the quality was not there.The ring shown here on the website has rich, vibrant colours, including the all elusive blue which was completely missing from the previous 2 rings I received. Ring #1 was mainly orangey yellow, green and a hint of red visible when turned to a sharp angle. Ring #2 was almost all green (at quick glance one could mistake it for a poor quality emerald) with a hint of yellow, no other colours present. Plus, I sure that ring #2 had been a previous return because on one side the rhodium was completely wore off due to the ring being switched back and forth from one style to another also the ring would not like flat; fixed in pendant mode it leaned forward.So now I'm waiting for ring #3 to arrive and I hope it will live up to what was presented on the July 1 show, as well as, the ring/pendant is posted here on TSC's website. I will post an update when it arrives. By the way, when I return a purchase to TSC I always enclose a note telling them why. I wonder, does anyone bother to read the note(s) or do they automatically go to "file 13"???At this time unfortunately,I have can't recommend this item. Hopefully that will change.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

not enough colour
By Beautiful British Columbia
from Castlegar
I love ammolite: BUT this time this ring arrived with only green and a dot of blue in the corner, I sent it back, love the design
( 7 of 9 customers found this review helpful)
Nothing Spectacular
By Marjorie
from Edmonton
I realize that every piece of ammolite will be different, and this is not the triple A quality used for a Showstopper, but I find it amazing that every time there is a Showstopper there is always a significant amount of blue that shows on the piece displayed. Yet when one gets theirs home, rarely is there ever that "elusive blue". I am tired of the majority of pieces being sterling silver. I would rather own one or two amazing pieces in 14K gold then a number in sterling silver that are just "okay." If one notices, the high end pieces disappear very quickly, often not even making it to air. That in itself should tell Ken and the buyers something. Please bring in more gold pieces; some new gold designs, and more then just 1 or 2. I would like to see more pieces that are not faceted.
Very lovely!!!
By NORMA
from TORONTO
I purchased an ammolite ring a few years ago at TSC that also converted to a pendant and loved it. I have many pieces of ammolite jewellery and this piece did not let me down. It's lovely, it is a subsantial ring, good color play and the pendant is also very pretty. Great price and 2 lovely pieces in one!!!

Not much sparkle like the picture
By LOVE TO SHOP
from OLDS
I didn't like the way the white topaz were set, they didn't give off much sparkle. They were set deep and just not as sparkly as some of the other rings with the same stones. The amolite in mine was just okay, mostly green with some orange. I didn't think it looked worth the money so I sent it back. I could recommend it to someone who just liked that they could have a pendant or a ring.
Beautiful coloured ammolite, BUT..
By Cat
from Sault, Ontario
A beautiful ring/pendant, BUT I already have about 10 rings & 10 pendants !! I couldn't pass it up because of good price (showstopper). I don't like TEENY topaz, which this ring has.I can't see them with my naked eye or readers.I can't imagine ALL the work of setting these tiny stones & not being able to see them !! I can feel them with my fingernail, ONLY !! The sizing ran a bit small, as I ordered Sz.10 for my index finger & it fit my Sz.8 ring finger.I sound like a broken record, BUT ammolite standsalone, with NO bling. All my other rings havebigger ammolite stones & I prefer 'larger' if I can find another. The dome ring offered in thecollection caught my eye & I 'shoulda' got it.NEXT TIME.I returned the matching earrings. SMALL stones. I already have 5 pairs of earrings, also.I recommend this ring for those 'starting out'.The quality/colour of the stone is stunning.Just not for me.
So Very Beautiful
By Darlene
from Lethbridge, Alberta
Once again, I am so happy with my Ammolite purchase. I can't believe the amount of blue in this ring. The green, red and yellow colors are very beautiful also. This is my 22nd piece of Ammolite and they are all my favorites! Thanks Ken and TSC
Worth the purchase!
By Gina
from NORTH VANCOUVER
I have many pieces of this Gemstone, became a collector for years and love allthe pieces I have purchased here! I am loving the faceted cut of the ammoliteand would love to own a matching stud earring to this ring. This one I received has many hues of colour displaying the beauty of this gemstone. A must have, if one is a collector. So easy to wear & to slip on. A Practical & gorgeous piece!

Location & area
The first floor gite is part of Threeroofs, an attractive detached stone house set amidst a varied landscape of mixed woodland, pastures and orchards. It is both a natural haven and an ideal base from which to explore this Catalan region between the sea and the mountains. A relatively undiscovered corner of France, it is crossed by traffic-free roads and country lanes linking picturesque stone villages and a wealth of natural and historic sites.
One of these lanes leads only to threeroofs and the village of Vira at 600m above sea level with its small museum and beautifully restored church.(visits by arrangement).
The nearby forest of Boucheville is considered to be one of Europe's richest with an astounding variety of birds, mammals, butterflies and flora including Eagles and boar.
This natureland surrounds Threeroofs but to explore further there is a good network of walking/cycling trails which begins at the house. You may encounter one of France's 'arbres remarkable' a colossal beech tree or some of the forest's wild cherry trees.
A five minute walk leads to a limestone mountain vista which stretches all the way to the Mediterranean coast beyond.
For a splendid, unrivalled view of the whole region, walk or drive to the nearby Feilluns viewpoint and orientation table.
In July and August you can relax by the beautifully situated open-air pool (free) at Fosse(3km), where there is also a tennis court. Alternatively try one of the other local bathing spots.
There are three floodlit boule courts in Vira a few minutes walk from the house and a plan d'eau with picnic area and botanical walk.
Warm summer evenings may be spent on the balcony where the nightingale regularly sings well into the night.
There is a wealth of natural and historical sites to visit.

There is a scattering of Roman remains including the perfectly preserved aqueduct at Ansignan (14km)
The Galamus gorge,with its hermitage (free) is a popular destination. A tantalising road traverses the 300m deep chasm with dozens of cascades and idyllic turquoise rockpools to choose from.
To the south rise the higher mountains and the majestic mount Canigou (2784m) often looms into view providing a wonderful backdrop. In this area you will find many abbeys, priories and fortified towns such as Villefranche, which is also the start of the 'little yellow train' line which snakes its way through the mountains across viaducts.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

They say it's a thin line between love and hate -- and they're right. Ready for some jaw-dropping examples of ex-lover revenge? These 17 real stories will make you think twice before betraying your guy.
"Cheating With a Floozie" SaleNever cheat on your spouse and then leave her alone with the house. According to the Daily Mail, a woman in Vancouver sought revenge on her husband by advertising a "Cheating Lying Yard Sale" on Craigslist. While he was was away with his "floozie," she planned to sell all of his posessions, like his favorite leather sofa and recliners, and ultimately, the house they shared. She also offered customers to view the remaning ashes of her ex-husband's clothes that she burned for no additional cost. All proceeds of the sale will go toward their divorce.
