At 4071 metres, Jebel Mgoun is the fourth highest mountain in Morocco. Attached to its lower slopes are mud walled villages that are surrounded by stone terraces full of of barley and wheat. It can take five painstaking years to build the terraces, they need constant maintenance after the heavy winter rain and some have had crops growing in them for over 300 years.
In late March they are vivid emerald, completely free of weeds and are watered by a complicated irrigation system which, it turns out, doubles up as the ultimate Pooh Stick course.
Above one of these villages, high up in clumps of cumin coloured grass, is another terrace, much bigger than the rest. At first it's hard to work out what could possibly be planted here – no water channels bubble along the path and there's nothing in the way of fertile earth, just dust and small stones.
The terrace is completely flat and framed with rocks with a gap at either end. It would have taken a great deal of time and effort, and must be tremendously important.
The mountain peaks stretch long shadows in the evening light and the boys who've followed us up from the village rush onto the terrace, running in and out of the sun. As one of them kicks an imaginary ball towards the gap in the rocks and throws his arms over his head in celebration, it becomes clear what this terrace is.
There might not be much in the way of hallowed turf this high up in the Atlas Mountains but season tickets are probably easy to come by and the transfer fees are non existent. In Morocco at least, football's still a beautiful game.
In some countries, riding around a city in a horse and carriage is something done mostly by tourists. Who else would brave the onslaught of cars, trucks, motor bikes and scooters armed only with cameras and a guide book? In Morocco though, the horse (or mule) and carriage is another way of saying taxi – not literally, it's caleches and taxi – but if you want to go anywhere, you hail a horse.
The carriages vary, some are nothing more than a flat bed on wheels piled high with sacks of chick peas or bales of grass still with butterflies attached, the driver perched up on top of the load. Others, especially in towns, are incredibly ornate, with bells, tassels and fringes that wouldn't look out of place in Oklahoma!. Comfort levels vary too, even the most decorated might not have much in the way of suspension or cushions to sit on – but what are those thick guide books for anyway?
Sitting in our carriage in Taroudant the pace is slow and companionable. Things completely missed from a car or bus are part of the ride - the heady smell of onions, cumin and paprika from tagines cooking in pavement cafes, the scent of a hidden orchard thick with blossom. The sound of a football match from a barber shop radio, the shout of small boys as they rush home from school.
It's easy to get lost, both in the narrow streets and in time. The speed of a trot transports you back centuries. The driver points out ancient crenellated walls, once the gruesome scene of many an execution, now the home of thousands of swifts. We lean back, looking at the first stars high above the flat roofs, thinking how good this would be at home. Then we remember the size of the garage and promise instead to come back and do it again.
If I were looking for a simple answer to the question, "What's Namibia like?" I'd begin by directing you to a satellite image of Sub Saharan Africa and suggest you looked at the bottom left hand corner. And I'd expect that the first thing you'd notice, was that in contrast to the lush green of the rest of Sub Saharan Africa, the southwestern tip of the continent is bright orange, and looks as if it's been dipped in a pot of sepia ink.
And simplistic as it sounds, this ought to give you a clue what to expect when you get to Namibia; a country dominated by a staggering sense of space, an overwhelming intensity of light and colour…and quite a lot of sand.
With its immense deserts and elaborate rock formations, epic clear blue skies and incredible colours, (most of which sit between blue and orange in the spectrum), this must be one of the most photogenic places in the world. When you see your photos from Namibia, you too will feel like a National Geographic photographer.
Surprisingly for a country that is roughly 90% desert, Namibia lends itself well to a self-drive exploration. You can easily head off for a couple of weeks driving your self between one remote gem of a camp and the next, but If you're looking for a truly exceptional way in which you see it - to experience it close up as well as from afar; examining minerals in a remote desert floor on your hands and knees, or viewing radiantly coloured desert landscapes like huge expressionist works of art, then it doesn't get better than from a small light aircraft piloted, and guided, by someone who's experience of the country is born of a lifetime of exploring it.
This is how I was lucky enough to experience it last November, when, having organized a flying safari for Richard Grant from The Telegraph (due to be published 8th Feb 2014), we set off for three extraordinary days that felt about as far from the daily routine as it's possible to imagine.
Picked up in Swakopmund by the highly charismatic Henk Schoeman, youngest of the four Schoeman brothers, we were whisked away at what would have been treetop height if there had been any. Over three days we flew over massive seal colonies, skimmed over impossibly beautiful dune fields that stretched as far as the eye could see.
We landed on beaches in the middle of nowhere, touched down in remote desert canyons that felt like they'd never seen a human, flew in intense evening light over magical landscapes populated with magnificently marked oryx, drove and ran down monstrous dunes and crawled into caves to discover bushman rock art.
By night we slept in the Schoeman's wonderfully old-school camps, ate like kings, drank plenty and laughed a great deal, which isn't hard to do in the relaxed company of Henk.
The danger these days, with too much information too readily available, is that you might - if you're unlucky - discover too much about this trip before you get there. All I can say is that this would be a real shame. Resist the urge to over research this, trust to more than 40 years of Schoeman know-how and you'll most likely be letting yourself in for a treat that you'll never forget.
In 20 years of running and organizing safaris, including many years flying as a bush-pilot in some of East Africa's most stunning and wild locations, I honestly thought I'd lost the capacity to be that blown away by an experience. Thank goodness I was wrong.
We organise safaris to Namibia from self drive to flying safaris - drop us an email if you'd like some information, or download this itinerary if you're tempted to head off with the Schoemans...
Surely it's no coincidence that it's so close to the French mélange – a "set of diverse elements"? or even "Melee" meaning a "confused or agitated scramble"?
I'm pulled from my reverie when the crowd in front of me parts to reveal a wild-eyed horseman, on an even wilder-eyed horse, approaching at what feels a lot like a gallop. One arm held aloft like the lone ranger he utters a loud yell as he bears down on me. Just as I'm beginning to wonder if this is personal he brings his horse to a stop in a cloud of dust about 10 yards away, with the equestrian version of a handbrake turn, before disappearing headlong into the crowds again.
This, it turns out is a fairly representative example of what Sonepur is like; loud, intensely colourful and brimming with spectacle; like the Bath and West show on speed. But despite the intensity of the sensory assault, I'm struck by the sense of order that prevails within the chaos.
There's no feeling of threat or panic here, despite the sheer weight of people who walk shoulder to shoulder through the narrow streets. As any first time visitor to India notices, the concept of personal space has little traction here, but even as a 6ft 5 giant I'm amazed that I don't feel more uncomfortable - perhaps in the setting of the fair with its elephants, snake charmers, bull, bird and dog markets, I blend in as just one more oddity among many.
Sonepur Mela, in the state of Bihar is a remarkably ancient institution; far less known than fairs like the Pushkar camel fair in Rajasthan, but it's both larger and older. Visited by Chandragupta Maurya in the 3rd Century BC who came to buy elephants across the Ganges, the fair has drawn countless generations of others who came – and still some - to trade animals from elephants to bulls to horses, birds and dogs.
Today the elephants are no longer officially for sale, but they are still here in the haathi bazaar and deals these days are allegedly are done behind closed doors. The bull, horse, dog and bird markets still thrive.
To the outside world, despite being the home of unified India and the birth-place of Buddhism, Bihar is one of India's lesser known states. A victim of poor economic policy in the 60s and 70s that some suggest robbed it of the birthright of its natural mineral wealth.
In recent decades Bihar has been plagued by dissident activists and suffered a lack of tourists as a result. To date tourism infrastructure remains minimal so Sonepur Mela has remained steadfastly off the radar for all but the most determined of visitors. Of course this feels like a real privilege and I'm aware of being one of a very small number who are walking around with cameras; this is still a place where people watch things that they find interesting with the naked eye, rather than through the frame of an Iphone.
Staying aboard the stunning river boat, the MV Sukahpa, owned by the wonderfully named Assam Bengal Navigation Company, we travel by village boat to the fair and spend two full days exploring. We witness elephants being made-up with colourful paints by their mahouts, spend time chatting to their owners who sit in deckchairs beside their beasts (just out of trunk range) basking in their reflected glory.
We accompany a huge bull elephant as he walks through the tightly-pressed crowds, somehow avoiding squashing anyone, to the banks of the Ganges, and we share his palpable joy at being allowed to roll over into the cooling water to have every inch washed by his mahout.
I'm powerfully reminded of bath-time with my sons when they were little, with even the same commands issued in a tone somewhere between a request and a threat "leg up please…leg UP!" "turn over… please turn over" all the while the elephant much absorbed in the blowing of bubbles and the all pervading joy of feeling weightless.
And there's another side to the fair that interests me – as a traveller culture is a fascinating allure, but it's easy to subconsciously apply an authenticity filter and miss things. For all the horsemen, snake-charmers and decorated cattle, there's a brash and indescribably noisy side to this event, but a side that is no less valid as a cultural experience. Its icon must surely be the Tannoy public address system.
Albeit hand painted and decorated, it blares almost nonstop through the tight streets by the Hariharnat temple and the rows of commercial stalls selling mostly the same blankets, bangles, vermillion and small brass pots for placing offerings in the temples. There's a harder commercial edge to this side of the fair – the pots these days aren't hand-beaten brass, but all bear the stamp of a single company in Gujurat. It's an undeniably modern aspect to the mela, but of course still a resoundingly valid cultural experience.
At the far end of the rows of stalls I find the apotheosis of the modern cultural experience. A tall structure made of cast iron and wooden floorboards towers above me. Rickety staircases climb the sides going up not one, but three shaky stories to a set of balconies that look down, like a steampunk version of Shakespeare's Globe, into a deep, sheer-sided well.
This is a Wall of Death, India style. While Tannoys outside blast their sales pitch in competition with the un-silenced roar of the motorcycles warming up, we wait while almost three hundred people climb to the balconies to witness the spectacle. 20 minutes later we're off and within minutes the wall is – incredibly – populated by what looks like a vertical rush-hour.
Four motorcycles, the first driven by a girl of no more than twelve in a gold shalwar kameez, compete for wall space with 2 small Maruti family cars whose drivers sit not inside, but outside on the doors, even reaching across to shake hands. At speed. While hurtling round and round the wall vertically.
It is instantly and unforgettably outrageous - a mixture of comedy and reckless jackass-ery. There must be a word to describe this chaos, this disorderly scramble. There is, what I'm looking at is a melee.

Here the mineral world prevails over the animal and vegetable. It's hard not to feel like a spec of organic plankton adrift in a sea of sand.
For two days I've been camping in the dunes behind Sandwich Bay, in the company of Bruno Nebe, a highly experienced guide who after a lifetime in this area knows it like the back of his hand. Carrying a small simple camp we've explored Sandwich Bay itself, the Kuiseb River Delta and the extensive dune system that surrounds it.
The dunes are mesmerizing on many levels; their extent and beauty are beguiling and there's a fascination that comes with the latent threat the desert exudes; like staring at the patterns of a venomous snake. Without Bruno, just how long would it take to lose my bearings in such a place?
But perhaps most striking are the shifting patterns and colours that the dunes throw up as the light shifts, which it constantly does. The picture is rarely still and the immense blond dunes create abstract patterns with their shadows.
Ridges and intricate ripples are etched into the surface of the sand, crisp and immaculate, constantly refreshed by the wind. In places the sand has a vivid purple patina that glows in the sunlight.
Approaching one such area we get down on our hands and knees to take a closer look. What we see are distinct patches of purple sand, lying in the troughs between ripples.
Using our reversed binoculars as magnifying glasses, we zoom in to see individual grains of sand. And at this point we realize it's not simply sand that we're holding in our hands, but gemstones.
The purple colour is a haze of garnets. And as any prospector worth his sand will tell you, garnets are one of the better indicators that you're in diamond country.
To walk along the skeleton coast is a tantalizing experience; Namibia is the richest diamond producing region in the world, with almost 20% of the world's gem quality diamonds coming from the forbidden region, a short distance to the south of where I'm standing at Sperrgebiet.
It is entirely possible that amongst the trillions of anonymous pebbles that I crunch blindly beneath my boots, lies a diamond, created 3 billion years ago, washed out of the diamond pipes in the Kimberley region of South Africa, down the Orange river into the South Atlantic and thrown up on to the shore by the ocean's gigantic sorting machine for me to find.
Its tempting to keep staring at my feet, but I'm keen not to lose sight of Bruno…
We organise safaris throughout Namibia, including trips into the Namib Desert, which can be easily combined with a visits to the rest of the country
If it all sounds a little too scary then here's our potted guide to how you can avoid it all:
LOCK YOURSELF AWAY IN A MONASTERY in Bhutan. Many people overlook Bhutan at this time of year, but it's a great time to visit; crisp, dry, clear air, wood burning stoves, hot stone baths. Visit Bhutan's most famous dzong Taktsang and discover a place where phallic symbols aren't rude (or funny)
HEAD FOR THE HILLS in Morocco. Disappear for a few days, with your own private tented camp in the High Atlas and a camels to carry the kit. Then kick back in a Kasbah afterwards for a night or two.
PULL UP THE DRAWBRIDGE in India. Take the chance to explore Rajasthan and the stunning hill forts of Amber, Chittorgarh, Gangron, Jaisalmer, Kumbhalgarh and Ranthamborethat which make up UNESCO's first ever serial cultural property listing
SPEND YOUR MONEY ON CONSERVATION NOT CRACKERS - in Laikipia by visiting Borana or Lewa Downs and supporting their Lion and Rhino conservation efforts
BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND in Namibia. If you're looking for total solitude then head into the thousands of square miles of stunning dunes above Sandwich Bay and discover gemstones beneath your feet and sleep on bedrolls beneath the stars
As we launch our competition to win a Kindle Paperwhite we thought we'd provide a little inspiration for books to take on your travels (and no doubt a bit of cotraversy too - how can we have the temerity to narrow "great travel books" just 6??) So here goes, in no particular order:
In 1956 Eric Newby sent a telegram to his friend, Hugh Carless - CAN YOU TRAVEL NURISTAN JUNE - and with some advice from a Welsh waitress on what to take, the two of them set off to one of the most remote and beautiful places on earth. Adventurers with more experience & sense may never have gone. Fortunately Newby had little of either. His iconic account of their journey and is responsible for pushing many young would-be travellers out into the world.
Published in 1979, this is a memoir by one of the last great adventurers. From a tense week with dissidents in Moscow to a laid back sojourn in a water tank with hippies in Eilat, Gellhorn's world is described with exceptional insight and razor sharp humour. The unnamed other is her husband, Ernest Hemingway, who was enraptured by Gellhorn's courage as they dodged shell fire together.
The ultimate philosopher pilot, Antoine de Exupery's memoirs about his days flying treacherous mail routes across the African Sahara and the South American Andes. It's a book about the dangers of being a pioneer pilot but also about death, heroism and humanity - all in written in lyrical prose and exciting realism.
In 1978 & 1986 Peter Matthiessen travelled through Senegal, Gambia, Zaire and the Central African Republic to examine the fate of African wildlife. High adrenalin flights over the savanna and slow river journeys to track rare and endangered animals, and also to find the biologists who study them - it's a sobering journey but one written by a skilled naturalist writer.
Ryszard Kapuscinksi has been the definitive voice of Africa for more than forty years and in this collection it's easy to see why. He avoids official routes and high level politics, getting to the margins of the continent. He says , "This is not a book about Africa, rather about some people from there, " and in his descriptions we finally meet the African Africa.
In 1933 Hemingway and his wife, Pauline, went on safari in northern Tanzania. The Green Hills is his account of the month long trip, a story of big game hunting, the pleasures of travel and the beauty of wilderness that even then was being constantly threatened by man.
And one for luck...
Mark Tully, the authority on all things Indian, toured his beloved homeland to see how much had changed in the twenty years since he wrote No Full Stops In India. In interviews with farmers, captains of industry, bandits, spiritual leaders, untouchables and politicians he captures the voices of the vast and diverse country. With sympathetic insights into it's vibrant history and it's extraordinary potential, the book is a must for anyone who is thinking of travelling to India.

Rajasthan and its history are inextricably linked with the Rajputs - the "Sons of Kings" - directly descended from the sun or moon who modelled themselves on Rama, hero of the great Hindu epic the Ramayana.
Rajput history is a litany of bloody battles - often internecine or else repelling Mughal invaders - in which whole armies chose to die fighting rather than face the shame of surrender. In such cases the women burnt themselves to death as happened not once, but three times at Chittorgarh.
In the 20th century valour and honour were all too often replaced by spectacular decadence and eccentricity; the Maharaja of Alwar bought 10 Rolls Royces during his visit to England for the coronation of Edward VII (and later cut off their tops and used them for collecting waste).
The Maharaja of Jaipur travelled to Britain with two huge vessels made from 14,000 melted silver coins filled with 4,000 litres of Ganges water as a precaution against British water. After independence princes saw their way of life radically transformed and now, more than 60 years later, some have converted their forts and palaces into magnificent hotels.
Stay in a palace and take in the oversized portraits of these elaborate individuals and you'll quickly sense the scale of the personality cult that surrounded the warrior Rajputs.
The plane door opens into thin air and a very barren landscape – mostly browns, lots of rocks and the occasional spear of a poplar. Ladakh looks tough and dry, the Ladakhis – small, nutbrown and wiry behind the customs desk - are tough and dry too, until they thump an official stamp down on the arrival form and smile.
Driving through town and out towards the villages that cling to the lower slopes of the Ladakh range, there seems to be nothing but dry which explains the need for toughness and the apparent lack of vibrance. Gradually though, as the eye gets used to the landscape, small pockets of colour poke out of the drab. There is the Indus of course, glacial blue, snaking through the valley.
The pure white of the snow along the piles and piles of mountains. The deep indigo of the sky. Closer to the villages, more trees appear – bright green leaves of the poplars and willows – and in the orchards there's the subtle pink of apple and apricot blossom. In May it's a bit early for the barley and wheat but by June the terraced fields are blankets of emerald.
Then there are the prayer flags. Blue, white, red, green and yellow – they're tied to every rooftop, every bridge, every TV aerial. They are strung up between rocks on high mountain passes, attached to remote shepherds huts and decorate every temple whether it's the ornate Hemis monastery or a tiny stone-built ghompa in the middle of a mountain stream. They flutter in the winds, spreading good will and compassion across the earth until their colours fade almost to grey, fraying and tatty where they've been battered by the elements.
On a walk up to Stok Kangri, the highest mountain in the Zanskar range, Pujan our guide, hands us a bundle of prayer flags to tie between a stick of willow and a jagged rock edge. Below is a fast flowing river, full of melted snow. Warm winds whistle through the narrow mountain passes, taking the prayers with them over the peaks and down to the distant plains. Each colour represents a certain element – blue is the sky, white is the wind, red is fire, green is water and yellow the earth.
For us, breathless and lightheaded, watching the small rectangles hanging far above the rest of the world, they represent dreams, faith and longing. They are hung in answer to adversity, floods, famine, the hardship of life in the harsh environment. They are the colours of hope.

Rose products overwhelmed us in the small rose distillery and co-operative we found ourselves in at the end of our four days trekking in the Southern Atlas mountains. Shelves were stocked with lurid pink bottles, creams, tonics, perfumes, scented waters - the elixirs of youth.
The room beyond was awash with roses; tiny stalkless rose buds were packed into brimming baskets and blowsy Damask roses lay wilting on huge aluminium trays. The scent was redolent of childhood, of potions never to be touched on a dressing table, a sweet, heady smell.
Not one of us in the shop could leave empty handed, the simple appeal of the garishly packaged products so removed from the billion dollar industry of western cosmetics.
Yet, this remote region of Morocco is where the perfumiers of the world come each year to buy the distilled oil of roses, a teaspoon of which costs over two hundred Dollars.
The Valley of the Roses lies about 5 hours drive south east of Marrakech and is the starting point for some of the country's most spectacular treks. Second only to Bulgaria in the production of rose oil, the climate of this region is perfect for the delicate single flowering of the 'rosa damascena' .
Only a gentle temperature and humid air at the time of flowering will produce a good yield of oil. The altitude in the Dades Gorge , between 300-1200m is ideal and the rose hedges grow in wild profusion, bordering streams, dividing fields – anything but in cultivated rows.
The Berber population of this remote valley are subsistence farmers, cultivating small strips of land planted with wheat and fruit trees. Their plots are surrounded by the wild Damask rose trees, offering protection against browsing sheep and goats.
By early April the harvest starts and women pick thousands of roses in the early morning before the intense scent of the roses is dispersed by the heat of the sun. In May the usually quiet village of El Kelaa M'Gouna is transformed into a carnival – this is the Festival of the Roses.
Children line the roads into town selling garlands of rosebuds and in the town stalls sell coloured babouche slippers, jewellery, ice creams in coloured pots and displays of traditional Berber singing and dancing and sword fights take place in a chaotic kaleidoscope of colour.
Of course the precious oil, the by product of the distillation process, is not for the likes of the casual visitor, this the Moroccan purveyors of roses do not sell. Huge copper stills are set up in the fields where thousands of tons of roses are picked by hand each morning. The oil, 'attar or roses' is shipped directly to the French perfume houses.
At home, my rose water and bubble gum pink hand cream sit humbly next to Channel but it is their evocative smell that takes me back to the Berber valleys.

text: Why is Formula 1 playing to empty stands? 19 July, 2014 The crowds were absent from Hockenheim on Friday Niki Lauda wants Formula 1 to think urgently about what is turning off the fans in 2014, and although big crowds were buzzing in Austria and Silverstone recently, but it was impossible not to notice some almost completely empty grandstands at Hockenheim on Friday as the sport remains stagnant in terms of embracing new media. The sport's reigning champion Sebastian Vettel was born just 40 kilometres away, while another German is leading this year's title in a highly successful Mercedes, within memory of the heady Michael Schumacher mania. "It's not satisfying," Mercedes boss Toto Wolff had to admit on Friday. "We have to analyse the phenomenon. If the weekend continues like it does now, we need to think about it," he said. Autosprint quoted a Formula 1 source as explaining that the issue this weekend is that the German public is at saturation point after world cup euphoria. Sebastian Vettel drives with deserted grandstands in the background But Mercedes' Formula 1 Chairman, Niki Lauda, has another theory and told Die Welt, "Formula 1 is seeing a serious cultural change. The audience wants to watch sport in a different way than before, due to the rapid growth of the new means of communication. "It is logical that the young people of today have other priorities. Everything in the world is changing, but only Formula 1 is staying where it was," said Lauda. The Formula 1 legend, therefore, thinks that one big problem is too many and complex rules, but also the fact that Bernie Ecclestone is steadfastly sticking to the old TV broadcast model. "Young people do not want to stay at home on Sunday when the sun is shining to sit in the lounge with their father for two hours. The problem is that today, there is no alternative. You can't just sit on the beach and watch the race highlights on your smartphone," he said. Empty stands are a backdrop to Nico Rosberg in action Lauda also said that Formula 1 has simply lost some of its appeal on the human level. "We have a generation of drivers that, if they were not wearing their racing overalls, you would simply walk past some of them and not notice," he said, referring to the general lack of charisma compared to the past. "The 'Formula 1 system' is to supervise, monitor, regulate. But we must again have the drivers, not the bureaucrats, in the foreground. If we continue like this, no one will be bothered about Formula 1 anymore. It's five minutes to twelve," added Lauda. Although there were substantially more people attending the Saturday morning FP3 session, the crowd size still does not compare to the those traditionally seen at German Grand Prix weekends.

Ravens class act
Terrell Suggs' girlfriend claims he punched her in neck
By Dan Hanzus
Around the League Writer
We now have more details about the domestic case that prompted Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs to surrender his gun collection to authorities. It's not pretty.
According to the domestic complaint obtained Friday by The Baltimore Sun, Suggs' longtime girlfriend, Candace Williams, claimed the All-Pro punched her in the neck and dragged her alongside a speeding car with their two children in the vehicle. The woman said she suffered "severe road rash" as a result of the incident.
As is standard protocol in the wake of a complaint of this nature, Suggs was ordered to turn over any firearms in his possession. The Sun reported he turned over seven guns. WBAL-TV reported Suggs surrendered nine.
In December 2009, Williams alleged Suggs held her down on the floor, poured bleach on her and their son and kicked her in the face, breaking her nose, according to The Sun. Williams also claimed physical abuse dating to the start of their relationship in 2007.
Maybe they can bring back Jamal Lewis back to council him along with Ray Ray.
Women beaters are chumps. nothing more
Brandon Marshall just demanded to be traded to the ratbirds.
Surprised the ugly ****er has a GF......money blinds them I guess.
She's not a gold digger I'm sure... Hilarious!
When you come back from an injury like his, as fast as he did, punching people is one if the side effects of the medication.
Spider taught Suggs how to throat punch. It's his fault.
I fondly remeber Suggs thanking his mom for not aborting him when accepting the defensive player of the year award (anti Tebow joke).
A man that beats a women is a stupid man because he can't explain himself, or coop with a argument.
i'm sorry, i hate women beaters with a passion.
but at some point it's all on the woman for letting them continue to do it.
there is too much information out there and too many ways to get help to allow that type of stuff to continue, especially when you bring kids into the equation.
You guys might be interested in a product I recently thought of, it's called a jump to conclusions mat. See... there's conclusions on it, that you can jump to.
I agree men who hit women are pussies, but women who stay and take the abuse are stupid and don't deserve sympathy. I have no tolerance for stupidity.
Source? A very large number? What does that even mean?
Was not suggesting they shouldn't leave because a lot do succeed in their lives afterward. Just pointing out it's a vicious cycle and the psycological factor is huge.
Another Rod Smith... Sad.
for the life of me i can't understand why young angry testosterone poisoned men who are paid insanely huge amounts of money to be violent, are violent off the field.
makes no cents.
but at some point you have to realize that if you allow them to keep doing it and they're allowing them to do it.
there's self defense classes, you can alert you family,friends,co-workers, you can go to a shelter, call the cops & various other things.
if the man is willing to beat you so easily that he will do it in front of your kids then he will eventually kill you anyways.
you may think it's ignorant to say but it is no less true. there are too many ways to avoid this type of crap. there is no reason for it.
the men who do it are nothing but little boys trying to achieve some form of manhood. i hate them with a passion.
but for them to be able to have someone to beat on, someone has to be there and willing to take it.
i have a sister and love her to death. if some dude put his hands on her i'd probably go to jail because he'd get severely hurt.
i don't play about men beating on women, that's gutless and personally i think they should be doled out the same punishment they give the women they beat up.

Master Tesfatsion is the Star Tribune's digital Vikings writer. He is a 2013 graduate of Arizona State and worked for mlb.com before arriving in Minneapolis. Follow him at @masterstrib.
As it turns out, Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder did very little in practice last week. Some light throwing on the side. Delivered handoffs during team drills. But the deep bruise on Ponder's right arm caused so much discomfort and stiffness in his triceps and elbow that he was never truly himself.
It all led up to a strange plot twist Saturday evening at Lambeau Field when Ponder was declared inactive for a first-round playoff game against the Packers. He was replaced by Joe Webb, who struggled throughout the Vikings' 24-10 loss.
On locker clean out day Monday at Winter Park, Ponder removed a protective sleeve from his right arm to reveal the nasty bruise that sidelined him. Here's what that looked like in a photo from the Star Tribune's Shari Gross.
Ponder also expressed disappointment in having his season end in that fashion, on an odd Saturday in which his only throws were some feeble soft tosses in a last ditch effort to test the arm in pre-game warm-ups.
"It was [crazy]," Ponder said. "Obviously it wasn't as much fun as I wanted it to be. I wanted to be out there. Frustrating day. But out of my control. It's something that makes me hungry to be able to get back and play in a playoff game next year."
The move to declare Ponder inactive Saturday snuck up on everybody. Head coach Leslie Frazier told the media early in the week that Ponder was dealing with an elbow injury, a result of having banged his arm on the helmet of Green Bay safety Morgan Burnett during the first half of the Vikings' 37-34 win on Dec. 30.
Even after that hit, however, Ponder played the rest of the game. And he and Frazier downplayed the severity of the injury throughout last week before the quarterback was stamped as "questionable" on the official injury report Friday afternoon.
Ponder's range of motion in the arm was severely limited, rendering him incapable of making even the simplest and softest of throws with any strength. Hence the Vikings were forced into a late change and the move to Webb. With the offense never really in sync -- Webb hadn't thrown a pass during the regular season -- the Vikings magical 2012 run abruptly ended.
And so now Ponder heads into the offseason with emptiness on not being able to suit up in the postseason.
Yet he also will take with him a final performance (234 yards, three TDs) in the regular season finale against Green Bay that seemed to be evidence of growth and his ability to deliver on a big stage with the stakes high. That effort completed a four-game stretch in which Ponder threw only one interception as the Vikings surged from 6-6 to snatch the NFC's final wild card berth.
Ponder said he used the final four games as a push to show greater care with the offense, "realizing that I needed to take calculated risks and understanding what risks I should and shouldn't take and getting a wrap around that."
He also took great pride in the win over Green Bay in the regular season finale.
"That was one of my best memories I'll ever have playing this game -- hopefully, not the best one," he said. "Obviously, I have some games and some years ahead where hopefully, we have a Super Bowl ring on our finger.
As for Ponder's arm injury, he continues to regain movement and flexibility and will just need time for it to heal completely. Alas, the Vikings' next meaningful game won't come until September.

Food & Recipes
Long Bean Salad With Feta and Preserved Lemons
This Recipe Is:
A staple of Chinese cooking, long beans are perfect for all manner of stir fry dishes. The slender, sturdy long beans have more crunch than regular old slippery green beans on the palate. They also stand up well to the assertive flavors of the salty cheese and preserved lemon.
2 bunches
Chinese long beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
preserved lemon
1 tablespoon each
lemon thyme and lemon verbena leaves, optional
1 handful
fresh parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon
freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste
1/3 cup
crumbled feta cheese
freshly ground black pepper
- In a large microwavable dish, place cut long beans with 1/4 cup water. Microwave the dish on high for about 3 minutes or until the beans are tender but still crisp. Drain beans and spread out on a large plate or cookie sheet to cool.
- Rinse preserved lemon. Cut off about 2/3 of a lemon, scraping flesh from the rind. Finely chop the rind; save flesh for another purpose.
- Remove the leaves from lemon thyme and lemon verbena stems, if using. Mince leaves.
- In a large bowl, place minced preserved lemon rind, minced lemon thyme, lemon verbena, and chopped parsley. Add cooled long beans, along with olive oil. Toss until ingredients are incorporated. Add lemon juice and black pepper. Toss again. Finally, sprinkle crumbled feta over the top.
To Make Preserved Lemons
- I always use Meyer lemons just because I love the floral, complex, and less puckery taste that they have. Whatever lemon variety you choose, I guarantee you will have a fascinating time making preserved lemons. All you need are washed and preferably organic lemons (either Eurekas or Meyers), kosher salt, and a glass jar with a tight lid that has been sterilized by running it through the dishwasher.
- Make two cuts in each lemon so that the quarters created remain attached. Stuff kosher salt into the crevices of the lemons, then place salted lemons tightly into the glass jar. If I have one or two leftover lemons, I'll often squeeze the juice into the jar before closing it. But you don't have to. This just gives the lemons a little bit of a head start.
- Place the jar on a countertop, and then just watch and wait. Over the next few days, more and more juice will exude from the lemons, filling the jar. You can give it a shake now and then — or not — to keep the salt blended well in the liquid. In about three weeks, the lemons will get very soft, and the brining liquid thick and cloudy. Once that happens, you can store the jar in the refrigerator. As long as the brine covers the lemons, they'll keep for about a year refrigerated.
- To use, pick a lemon or part of one out of the jar with a clean fork. Give the lemon a quick rinse. Remove any seeds. Then, use the peel however you like -- chopped or sliced in thin slivers. Some people discard the flesh, but Morse considers that wasteful. I always add some of the chopped flesh in with the rind in whatever I'm making.
- Use preserved lemons in your favorite Moroccan chicken tagine recipes. Or stir it into tuna salad for sandwiches, pasta salad, bean salad, vinaigrettes, marinades for fish or Cornish game hens, or in couscous topped with toasted pine nuts.
- With their bright, salty-citrus taste and jammy texture, you'll find that preserved lemons add complexity and depth to so many dishes.
- Of course, there are faster ways to make preserved lemons. Some people boil the lemons in the jar in a water bath, thereby cooking the lemons, and making them ready to use the very next day. Others freeze the lemons first, so they start to break down. But I like to wait for mine. After all, that's half the fun.

The games on show at E3 2011 are some of the best in living memory. So you really owe it to yourself to vote in CVG's inaugural E3 2011 Awards... in the Most Anticipated Title category.
Shortly before the show, we'll work out which of these 60 special E3 game previews have enjoyed the most page views, Facebook 'Likes', ReTweets and poll votes (see below) and crown our first victor at the Los Angeles event. Show your favourites the love!
Game: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine
Likelihood of E3 2011 showing: Certain
Being traditional, dice-rolling wargames, Games Workshop products translate well into strategy-based videogames. Developers Relic know this well - they've already got numerous Dawn of War real-time strategy titles under their belts.
It also means that their knowledge of the Warhammer 40,000 world couldn't be better informed. So, Space Marine - their first attempt translating the Imperium of Man's struggle against many alien foes into a third-person shooter - is already off to a good start.
Visually, even the most fastidious Games Workshopper would admit that this couldn't really be more loyal to its tabletop roots. But how does it feel in the boots of Captain Titus, 150-year veteran of the Ultramarines... From past trailers, Space Marine has been affectionately nicknamed 'Gears of Warhammer' but Relic stress that it's no cover shooter.
Instead, they want to highlight the sense of pace and the fact that the Emperor's finest warriors don't hide behind walls. They charge in hard to deliver what Relic likes to call 'visible violent death'. A nice soundbite way of saying 'chop up Space Orks into showers of gore'.
Indeed, our hands-on confirmed that barrelling head-first into combat is very much the order of the day. Space Marine is a hybrid shooter/melee action game: this basically means shooting anything you haven't hacked into pieces with your bolter.
Linking together kills (either ranged or close combat) builds a 'rage' meter which sends Titus into an overdrive mode; shooting with this filled will enable a brief 'bullet time' moment. When up close and personal, you can unleash visceral execution moves on enemies.
Sure, there's a hint of 'comedy ketchup' about the kills but you can't deny the satisfaction that comes from sawing off an Ork's head with a chainsword.
At this stage, there's plenty of potential for Space Marine - even if it did make Gears of War look sophisticated in comparison. However, as the first time in the suit of a Space Marine (even the FPS Fire Warrior couldn't offer that), we're guessing there are some giddy Games Workshop fans who can't wait until it's released...

A usually female character insists on keeping her age a secret.
It's commonly accepted that no one wants to get old, and that a woman getting old is pretty much the worst thing that can happen. For this reason, a lot of people don't want their age advertised past a certain birthday, and "never ask a lady her age" is a stock etiquette rule. Someone's reasons for lying about their age or keeping it a secret may vary, from being in a business (such as acting) where they risk being put out to pasture if they're seen as too old, to vanity or a delusional wish to cling to a young person's lifestyle, to simply feeling that it's private information. Usually it's The Not Secret, sometimes even an Open Secret, but at any rate, it's bound to become a talking point, and they won't be happy about it. Twenty-nine is often the oldest "young" age someone will admit to, at least for as long as it's remotely plausible. Entering any new decade will be seen as a cause for heightened security. This character is likely to be a Birthday Hater, with jokes about them turning X for the Yth year in a row. Compare Older Than They Look, Age-Inappropriate Dress, Absurdly Youthful Mother. First Gray Hair and Ma'am Shock will hit this character hard.

Restoring the last Rochester subway car
Rochester, N.Y. It has been almost 60 years since trolleys and subway cars served Rochester. Buses and expressways brought an end to the sights and sounds of the trains.
Rochester residents who are old enough, the sound of a clanging subway car bell will take them back.
In the old days, you could ride from Rowlands in Brighton up to GM on Lexington Avenue, said David Shields, of the Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad Museum.
Subway car 60 is the only survivor of the Rochester subway fleet, but it is on life support, which is why the Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad Museum wants to bring it back.
The intention is to restore the car so that the public can enjoy it once again. Everyone has questions about the Rochester subway. We have an actual physical piece of the subway that you can come and enjoy, said Otto Vandrak.
The hope for car 60 is to at least make it look like it did, maybe even get it in shape to ride the rails again, like the other trains from the museum do on its two miles of track.
Nick Otto is a train lover who was born decades after any subway cars rode through Rochester.
Its cool. Its the last trolley car made for Rochester. It definitely needs a lot of work though, Otto said.

EPA Could Do More to Minimize Cleanup Delays at the Clark Fork Sites
RCED-92-20: Published: Nov 21, 1991. Publicly Released: Jan 7, 1992.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6111
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO assessed the progress and problems of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) cleanup of the Clark Fork Superfund sites in Montana, focusing on the: (1) extent and cost of cleanup work; (2) adequacy of cleanup plans; and (3) effectiveness of EPA efforts to recover cleanup costs.
GAO found that: (1) only 2 of the 4 sites' 23 operable units have been cleaned up completely, and studies at 3 sites did not result in appropriate cleanup remedies; (2) EPA and a private firm spent $54 million on cleanup activities, but they only spent $24 million on cleanup studies; (3) the 1988 Clark Fork master plan to coordinate cleanup work did not provide workable sequencing of cleanup activities, but the 1990 plan addressed those limitations; (4) further cleanup delays are likely because of disagreements over soil cleanup levels, EPA model provisions for cleanup agreements, and public concerns over cleanups for selected units; and (5) staffing shortages, poor cost documentation, and an inefficient accounting system have hampered EPA cost identification activities and prevented it from taking timely cost recovery action on the $33 million it spent at the sites.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Planned corrective actions for improving the speed and effectiveness of cost recovery are being considered by the Superfund Revitalization Team. Region VIII received additional resources for the timely issuance of demand letters. Until program improvements are implemented and evaluated, EPA believes a cost-benefit analysis is premature. EPA developed a multi-user cost recovery system, SCORE$.
Recommendation: To improve cost-recovery activities, the Administrator, EPA, should provide additional resources, as needed, to allow for the timely issuance of demand letters for the Clark Fork sites. In addition, the Administrator should conduct a cost-benefit analysis, as previously recommended, to determine whether additional resources should be requested for cost recovery to allow EPA to take advantage of the interest income to be realized from the timely issuance of demand letters for other Superfund sites and in other EPA regions.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On March 6, 1992, OSWER established a committee to review key planning documents for the Clark Forks site. OSWER now reviews clean-up progress and provides suggestions to keep the cleanup on schedule.
Recommendation: To help minimize further delays in cleaning up the Clark Fork sites, the Administrator, EPA, should direct the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) to conduct periodic reviews of Region VIII's overall progress in cleaning up the Clark Fork sites, with a view toward identifying potential problems that could further delay cleanups and needed solutions to avoid and minimize such delays. OSWER could accomplish this by participating in the quarterly meetings that Region VIII's Montana Office plans to have with its work group to review the implementation of the Clark Fork master plan. Additionally, Region VIII and its Clark Fork sites could be included in the field studies that OSWER plans for reviewing the actions that EPA has taken in response to its June 1989 management review of the Superfund program.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: EPA is still considering the need for this action and has yet to determine what, if any, action will be taken. The EPA Montana office has established procedures to periodically notify the public of its progress in meeting milestones. EPA officials are meeting with the main citizens groups every 3 months. In addition, the agency publishes notices of cleanup status and invitations for comments and meeting dates in the local newspapers.
Recommendation: To improve its strategy for monitoring implementation of the Clark Fork master plan, the Administrator, EPA, should require Region 8 and its Montana office to include provisions in its strategy for: (1) assessing viable alternatives for avoiding or minimizing slippages in milestones; and (2) periodically notifying the public of its progress in meeting milestones, including slippages and the steps EPA is taking to deal with them.

MFC Industrial Ltd Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Certain statements in this call will be forward-looking statements, which reflect management's expectations regarding future growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities. For detailed information about risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied, please refer to the disclaimer for forward-looking information contained in today's press release and filed with the Canadian securities regulators and on Form 6-K with the SEC. The company will make a brief presentation on the results announced this morning and then open the call to questions.
I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Michael Smith, Chairman and CEO of MFC Industrial. Hi, Michael.
Michael J. Smith
Good morning, Michael. Thank you very much. First of all, I would like to just walk you through the half financial results, and then maybe make some comments in ref to some projects which we're involved with. So if I -- let me start with the balance sheet of the company. At June 30, we had cash and near cash equivalents of about $364 million. Major changes on the balance sheet is our inventories went up to $114 million from $81 million. Predominantly, the increase was because of additional products which we have taken on, predominantly steel coils, and also some iron ore left over from this season. Receivables are up to $33 million from $21 million but that's constant and there's nothing abnormal, it's just the timing issue. Deposits in prepays went from $9 million to $16 million and that was because of the refinery we acquired in the last quarter.If I take you down now to noncurrent assets, and if you look at plant, property and equipment, you'll see it went up from $3 million to $30 million, and that is strictly because of the acquisition of the refinery which we acquired in the last quarter.

How to build an email alert notification when a customer is using all his quota space
Hello to everybody,
I'm realizing a mail server with ISPConfig 3 and Roundcube.
I would like to realize an "email alert notification" to send to a customer that is using almost all his email space.
Do you have some idea how to realize it?
I've found a script that check the quota of each email and, if it's more that 90%, it will send an email to me and the customer.
But I think that having this funcion integrated in ISPConfig could be just great...
Any idea?
I was studing a bit the problem, and I realized that into the dbispconfig database there is a table names mail_user, where there is a quota field.
So I think that the logic way to solve the problem is realize a script that check that quota field for every email and, when this quota is 80% that the space assigned to the customers, just send an email to them saying that the space is almost finished.
Do you think it is difficult to realize?
Any idea?
Should not be too difficult if you use a scripting language like PHP. :)
Yes, I'm trying to write a PHP script.
I'm with manuals and books studying what I've to do :o
Basically I've integrated a slider into Roundcube. This slider have 11 steps.
With ISPConfig I've created 11 spam policy, I now the policy_id of that policy.
So now what I want to do is connect PHP with MySQL, so that I could realize something like that:
$db_host = "localhost";
1) I don't know where to find the $ROUNDCUBE_USER, means the email of the user that at that time is using roundcube
2)I don't know where this slider is setting his variables releated with the status (0-10)
I've ISPConfig 2 and want the same feature.Inform users with mail, when quota is more then 90%.
Has anybody made such a script?
This is something i would look to have integrated in ispconfig so im following your adventure voltron81 :)
Great damir...
Let me know your news about that... :p
I've found a script that check the quota of each email and, if it's more that 90%, it will send an email to me and the customer.But I think that having this funcion integrated in ISPConfig could be just great...

I will be glad if anyone uses it :)

Posts tagged: I-1100
Getting the state out of the liquor business is such a popular idea that voters have two chances to do it in the Nov. 2 election.
Based on their ballot titles, Initiatives 1100 and 1105 may seem close enough that anyone in favor of state-operated liquor stores could reasonably vote no on both.
One can make an argument for voting yes on one but not the other. Costco card holders, for example, might be more fond of I-1100, on the theory that if their favorite discount house spent millions pushing the intitiative, they may see some great deals on a case of booze.
But anyone who thinks the state should stick to core services – things like schools, prisons, roads and drawing numbers for the Lottery – may decide to fill in the "yes" ovals on both to double their chances of buying their liquor from someone not on the state payroll.
Then what happens? Suddenly, after decades of talking about getting the state out of the liquor business, we have not one but two laws ordering it out.
The short answer is – and we reporters love this because it's like the political writers' full employment act – no one knows.
Seriously. No. One. Knows…
OLYMPIA — Initiative 1100, the first of two proposals to knock the state out of the liquor business, is for sure on the general election ballot.
Not that there was really muhc doubt after they turned in an estimated 396,000 signatures on their petitions.
Elections workers doing a spot check of signatures last week said it had more than enough valid signatures, and Secretary of State Sam Reed gave I-1100 the official greenlight this afternoon. Staff began checking signatures for I-1082, which would allow private insurance companies access to the workers comp system.
I-1100 is the state out of the booze-biz proposal backed by retailers because it allows them to deal directly with distilleries for their supplies. I-1105, which requires retailers to deal with wholesalers or distributors, will have its signatures checked in a week or so.
In all, six initiatives are thought to be in line to join the three referenda already on the ballot.
Staff from the Secretary of State's elections office begins counting petitions for Initiative 1100 brought in Wednesay afternoon. (see post below) Staff photo by Jim Camden
OLYMPIA – Washington state's 77-year control of liquor sales may be in doubt.
Sponsors of one ballot measure to turn the sale of all liquor over to private stores, Initiative 1100, say they will turn in nearly 350,000 signatures today cqWEDS, a number that practically guarantees the proposal will be on the Nov. 2 ballot.
The campaign manager for a separate measure to privatize liquor sales, Initiative 1105, says it too expects to have more than enough signatures to turn in by July 2, raising the prospect of two competing plans for voters to sort out this fall.
Getting the state out of the liquor business has been a familiar refrain in the Legislature for decades…

Hi Thanks for using Justanswer.com..I am not sure if you are having a problem yourself..if you are please let me know the details so that I can ease your worries.Tooth infections rarely get to a point that they will affect the brain.The natural path of infection for the teeth is to drain either into the mouth through the gum,through the bone into the soft tissue spaces of the face,or into the facial spaces of the neck.On the rare occasion that a tooth infection reaches the brain..you would have to become septic...have infection throughout the body via the bloodstream....You would most likely have had the infection for a long time.You would most likely have a fever.You would have had signs before of swelling in the mouth or face...You would be most likely be lethargic and feel sick and in the end stages become delerious..go into a coma..and then if no treatment by that time... die.It is extremely rare.If you would like to tell me what problems that you are currently having..I would be glad to help you figure out what is going on..Please respond.
If you are currently taking antibiotics..the likelihood of any infection from your tooth going to your brain is pretty close to nil.
The swelling above the bad tooth is where the infection is trying to drain through.when the swelling in the gum becomes big enough..98% of the time it will burst through a tiny fistula or opening in your mouth..you may even get a bad taste from the pu..it will close up and then burst again when it gets full.Do you currently have any medical problems like high blood pressure or diabetes?Do you have plans to have the infected tooth treated?
The hard lump may just be something called an exostosis or tori..these are just extra masses of bone that are found all over the mouth.are not pathological and in most cases never have to be removed unless a denture was being placed in that area.Peridontal disease can run in families and it would be a good idea if you first got the infected tooth out..and then do a little treatment at a time..neglecting it will work against you in the long run..I would try to get at least this one tooth extracted while you are on the antibiotics.Bacteria become resistant to the antibiotics if you keep hitting them with the same drug
Headaches can be caused by mouth problems and are usually around the sides of the head in the temple area.And unfortunately..when we reach our forties..it is when we start to have some vision changes and start suinting and reaching for some store bought "readers".Where is the pain in your head currently?
You are most likely having problems with your bite..The teeth are moving and the jaw is not hitting evenly..and you are probably trying to avoid hitting the infected tooth and it is affecting the joint in front of your ear.Get back to the dentist and treat the tooth..I am quite sure that you do not have a brain infection.
You should be taking penicillin Vk or amoxicillin for the infection ..make sure that you stay on it the way it was prescribed..You should be fine..I am sure that you can find a good dentist that will help you.
Ok good get back to me and let me know how you are doing ..good luck
Please select the accept answer option if you have no further questions you can always get back to me later if you do

April 2008, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 448
This article describes five episodes in which children in grades 2–5 explore the concept of one million in a variety of ways. The children tie this large number to familiar contexts and use such concepts as area, length, place value, money, and ratio to solve the problems they pose for themselves.Read how you can use this journal article as a Professional Development Experience.

"I tried this recipe using only the Flan part, I used a box chocolate cake for the cake part. It was so delicious. Since I'm higher in altitude I had to let the cake bake a little longer than suggested. Overall a hit in my home and it is something that I will be making again. ""
