Traveller reviews
"The Tamara Hotel has a lovely location; the views are impressive and the landscape of the hotel grounds is very natural and appealing. The hotel provides the necessary elements for a comfortable short break, although there are no facilities on site aside from a bar, restaurant and two small pools. The town of Kas is a 15 min taxi ride away, but there is a limit to how many hot trips along a bumpy road that you can stomach. The hotel also run some mini bus shuttles there during the daytime.
You will do well to keep a constant check on your bar and food tabs as the staff are very lax and the drinks, in particular, are ridiculously expensive (watermelon juice 10YTL, or nearly £5!). There is not a practice of showing you prices for anything unless you ask in advance! Make sure you view each voucher and add them up at the end as the "office" made repeated "mistakes" with our extras at the end of our stay. Needless to say, they weren't undercounting!
We would strongly advise prospective visitors to approach the hotel direct and to avoid the massively over inflated prices and very poor service offered by ELIXIR holidays (for travellers coming from the UK), who failed to pay the hotel for our accommodation costs and are currently being pursued for breach of contract. Transfer costs from Dalaman need to be negotiated with the hotel or you might want to consider a hire car; there are many worthwhile sites to visit within easy striking distance and you will save a lot on taxi fares (one-way to Kas is about £8 currently). If you are negotiating transfers, be aware that the quoted costs tend to vary. We had a turkish spreaking friend do this on our behalf before leaving the UK; the cost should be around 150 YTL (70 GBP). Journey times from Dalaman are longer than advertised; it took us 2hrs 40 mins on a slow return, with traffic. Hence, the high costs I suppose, but nothing to justify the ridiculous round-cost of £295 (yes, really!) offered by Elixir in their pimped-up mini bus.
Would we go back? Not a chance. Sorry Tamara, but you need to ditch the crooks that you are associated with in the UK and advertise independently.
Go independent, plan in advance and hopefully you should avoid some of the mess that we encountered."

"The Tamara Hotel is probably the loveliest hotel on the Cukrbag peninsula, but my wife and I stayed in a neighbouring villa earlier this year and shared the Tamara's facilities. There was rubbish piled by the front entrance, a villa being constructed next door and while the staff were very friendly, they were clearly not ready for the season.
To be fair, it is the agent, Elixir Holidays, that is to blame. Elixir should never have sent us before the season had fully started. So, if the Tamara appeals, it may be worth a go, just make sure that you do not pay over the odds and certainly avoid Elixir, who took thousands of pounds off us to consistently provide sub-standard accommodation throughout our honeymoon!"

"This hotel has a beautiful setting right on the water!
View...the view of the mediterranean is breathtaking.
Size...not a large hotel but it has all the amenities and then some. Rooms are large and many have balconies to sit and watch the sunset. The pool--although not heated--is very clean and large enough for laps.
Layout...the hotel has several levels providing different experiences and privacy.
Guests: many of the guests were national tourists providing a more genuine experience than at a hotel populated exclusively by foreign tourists.
Distance from town...although the hotel has courtesy vans into town, the hotel is several miles from town. We had a car so this was not a problem for us."

"We stayed at a standard room at Villa Tamara in late August. This hotel is located in Cukurbag about five minutes from Kas right across from Greek island of Meis. We had a car, so trips to Kas were no problem; otherwise I believe you have to call for a cab. The location is amazing. My husband who recently sailed around British Virgin Islands kept saying it was just as beautiful. The hotel itself is also great, a stone building surrounded with trees and flowers. It has a very nice pool area and a moderate sized pool filled with sea water. However being a Mediterranean girl, I don't do pools. To me, the most important thing is the sea and it doesn't get any better than this unless you are on a blue voyage. The only thing missing was lack of service and showers by the sea, so we had to climb up and down frequently. In summary, we fell in love with this place, and if it weren't for the completely poor management it could have easily become the place we'd go again and again. Now here comes the negative experience which may give you some idea on how amateurishly this place is run:
-We booked by phone and had no idea how to get to the hotel. The manager told me to give him a call when we get to Kas. So I did but there was no answer, we had to ask a few people in Kas and we were lucky enough to find the place easily. It was completely dark when we got to the hotel and neither the parking area nor the entrance is lit. It was quite scary believe me. We entered the hotel and saw two workman who looked at us like we were crazy when we asked about the reception. This hotel has none! It turned out that the manager was helping out with the dinner service, so he wasn't taking phone calls. He showed us the room (no process for check-in, he didn't ask for an id or a credit card). You literally have to chase this guy down for everything including payment on your way out. For all I know you could just stay for a few days and sneak out casually.
- The first room we stayed at was on the bottom floor (#17). It was partly my fault because I made a late booking on such a busy season, but I believe it is hotel's obligation to tell what kind of room you'd be given. It should be the worst room in the hotel. No view at all, the minibar was unplugged, we couldn't even turn on the lights properly. The cord of the floor lamp was literally torn apart. The manager said he would switch our room the following day and we pursued him persistently until he did so.
-Our second room was on the first floor. Again not a full view but a nice partial one at least. Several items missing (No soap, no hangers) and poorly lit, (I suspect all rooms are)
- Bathrooms were really weird. In our second room, the toilet was very close to the bathtub, it was OK for me but a torture for my long legged husband. The shower was also very uncomfortable. You cannot hang it, it pops out from the bathtub, you have to hold it the entire time and it has a short cord so you have to bend or sit down. Why on earth would you install something like that?
-We had a dinner, a lunch and two breakfasts at the hotel. For dinner, we had fish and shepherd's salad. Fish was OK but the salad was bad. Soggy tomatoes are not acceptable by Turkish standards especially if you are at the tomato capitol of the country! I couldn't believe they charged us 20YTL (~US$ 15) for that small bowl. Same goes for the breakfast, day old lame bread, no variety, cheap stuff that's a minute away from going bad.
-For lunch, we ordered burgers from the kitchen. They were no good but I ate mine anyway. It was too late when I noticed my husband wasn't touching anything because he found hair in it! He kindly sent it back asking them to be more careful next time.
The funniest bit is that whenever we made a comment to the management about anything, they went " oh, but it is because we're a boutique hotel" . I think someone should explain them what "boutique" really means.
I may still go back there despite all this. After a while it didn't even bother me because it is so nice out there. It just makes me sad because this amazing place really deserves better than this. If I had the money, I swear I would takeover and rescue this gem."

"Stayed there for a week in a standard room. Absolutely superb location - most probably the best on Kas peninsula (we have been in other peninsula hotels before). Rooms big and comfortable. Unfortunately, several details deteriorated the overall picture: Breakfast buffet managed by two individuals not motivated at all, so we had to ask them to refill bread basket, fruit etc. 25% of sunbeds down near the sea broken, so not enough space for all guests etc.
In a nutshell: Great place to stay, but not concentrated on important details that at the end of the day make the difference. Location is a big part of the overall picture, but not everything. Management shall invest in motivation of staff and maintenance!"

"I cannot praise this hotel enough. A beutiful location looking out across the med.
Spotless clean and excellent staff.
It's built on the side of a hill so you'll find yourself walking up and down a fair few stairs.
If you can stay in the suites they are worth the extra. Regular rooms are good but bathrooms very small.
I will go back to this hotel time and time again."

"Me and my wife, after spending our holidays in Odile Hotel at Olympos Cirali for 5 years, decided to take a risk by trying a new location and hotel. We chose Kas and Tamara Hotel and that was absolutely our best holiday ever.
First, Kas is a lovely place. We fell in love with Kas and we're dreaming of buying a small house in Kas.
Coming to the point, Tamara Hotel is born to be beautiful thanks to its unique location. It's located on the Cukurbag Peninsula, looking towards the Meis, which is the closest Greek Island to Turkey.
Villa Hotel Tamara has two sister buildings: One is for standard rooms, the other (new) one is for suits. Both are looking towards the Meditterean Sea and you can see the Meis in front of you from balcony.
We chose a suit number 4 for spending our 11 days of holiday. Actually we'd booked for a standart room but when Mr. Mesut, the Manager, offered us the suit we changed our minds at that moment.
Suits are large and confortable, have an incredible sea view from main living area and bathroom. Rooms are air conditioned by a split AC (wall mounted - manuel control). But there was a mispositioning problem with the conditioner: It was so close to the bed and we couldn't leave it open while sleeping.
In every suit there're big LCD screens which you can watch hundreds of local / international channels which are broadcasting via satellite. There you can find a DVD player too, in case you have brought some movies with you.
Bathroom is very large and has the same sea view with balcony. It was a wonderful experience to take a shover towards the blue sky an sea.
There're lots of cabinets and drawers for your staff. And also a small safe is present for your valuable belongings.
Hotel has lots of seperated areas, spread over different areas in different levels. I do underline the word of "levels" because Tamara Hotel offers you a good chance to work-out: There're 40 steps down to "Pool 1 level" from suit entrance. Than 33 steps to "Pool 2 and bar / restaurant" level. And than 85 steps more to the sea level where you can have a sunbath and swim. That's why I do not recommend Tamara to old or disabled people and big families with children.
We did not try the pools but as we've informed one is salty water. Pools are medium sized (approx. 10-15 meters wide, deepest point 1.6 meters). We spend our day hours laying down at the sea level platforms and swim. There is no beach. You directly jump to the aquarium-like sea. Of course there you can find a small stair to help you go into the sea smoothly :)
Tamara is also have a nice yacht and you can join their trips they set every or twice a week.
The personnel are very young, kind and helpful. Although their intension are good, there're some management problems causes lack of service. For example sometimes it's hard to find someone to ask for something at the sea level because no one is especially assigned for it. This mostly happens between 8 to 11 am.
Prices include bed and breakfast. Breakfast is served between 8 to 10 am but we have not seen the breakfast is ready by 8 am. Visitors love to sleep I think, and that's why they always delay it for 10 to 30 mins. The offerngs are not so attractive in breakfast, but include every basic need: eggs, cornflakes, salami, tomatoes, cucumber, white cheese, some other cheese, some marmelades, tea, coffee, honey and so on.
Restaurant is not bad but do not offer a large menu to choose from. We mostly had our dinners at Kas centre, where you can find lots of different alternatives. At that point I have to share you our top 3 restaurants in Kas: 1) Ikbal 2) Blue House 3) Bahce (Bahce has 2 different restaurants, one is fish and the other is meat. We recommend you the meat one. Good mezes -starters- there!)
Overall, Tamara Hotel is a very vise choice for especially young couples without children. It's peacefullness, quiteness and good ambiance will meet your expectations.
Hotel has a wide range of visitors from different nationalities, mostly from UK, Turkey and Germany.
I think there're so much things to say about Kas and Tamara Hotel, briefly, hoping to help you, I've collected some pros and cons for Tamara below. See and make your choice:
- Incredibly beautiful location
- Good hotel building and surroundings (there're lots of seperated areas and even the hotel is full you do to not feel that.)
- Easy access to Kas centre (there're shuttles from and to Kas - It takes 7-8 mins)
- Gorgeous sea-view
- Good rooms
- Lovely climate and sea (We've been there in July but the season is between May to October)
- Quite, peaceful and relaxing
- Reasonable prices
- Some lack of service
- Bothersome small furnishing details in the rooms
- Average bar and restaurant
- The nearest airports are actually not "near". It takes 3 hours from Dalaman and 2,5 hours from Antalya Airport to the Hotel by car. (Hotel offers transfer from airports. Ask for it. We paid € 100 for Antalya Airport - Hotel transfer.)"

"This place was wonderful We had been a teeny bit disappointed with a couple of other well-reviewed spots so the Tamara was a dream come true. Beautful huge "standart" room with a lovely view - lots of stairs to climb, though! The approach is a bit harrowing - it is further outside of town than you initially expect, though after a day or two it is no problem. Upon finding the sign that marks the Tamara's private drive, one plunges down what must be about a 45 degree grade that makes you think you will drop into the sea. ( One group of guests actually had a car with a bad transmission that could barely make it back up the hill!)
But once you are there - ahhh! Good breakfasts, good meals, beautiful pool plus beach access -- and the service is superb. We adored Mesut , the manager and got a kick out of Chas (bartender) who both were charming and full of great advice. There is great care taken with all the creature comforts here. Only our frigobar did not work - no big deal. While here we were able to have a cruise to Kekova on a gorgeous boat leased by the hotel. It was $$$ because the day we went, our boat-mates backed out leaving us with the entire cost of the boat. Still, it was amazing and worth every penny. If you do this, try to arrange it in advance and build your stay in Kas around it. Superb. Kas was a nice town but the best meal we had here was the one at the hotel Villa Tamara."

"My wife & I stayed at the Villa Hotel Tamara for one week & we loved it. The biggest asset was the location. The view of the mountains & the Meditteranean sea were breathtaking.
You should ask for the Turquoise Room. It's amazing. Huge space overlooking the pool, the sea. Just incredible. Overall, the place was an oasis for rest & relaxation & the staff was friendly.
There are two pools -- salt water & fresh water. If you want to spend your time by the sea, there are stone platforms w/umbrellas along the rocky coast to pass your time & take the occasional dip. Evenings are special at the hotel w/an outdoor bar & terrace where you can see the stars (but don't forget to pack bug spray as a precaution). The hotel also has a daily shuttle into the town of Kas where you can shop, eat, and stroll the charming streets & marina.
Criticisms are minor. One is the hotel's boat. The hotel rents a boat for guests to sail to the Greek island of Meis. A bunch of us signed up for the trip. One problem: we never made it to the island! Apparently, the captain & the crew weren't exactly accomplished sailors. Even though it was a beautiful sunny day on the Mediterranean, they claimed the current was too strong & it was too windy. We laughed. We thought they should've taken Sailing 101. The island appeared so close, we considered just jumping off the boat & swimming to the island. However, you do really need a boat to get there. But we still had a nice time.
The complimentary breakfast was very good. Fresh fruit, bread, juices, coffee & tea, etc. They also make a fine latte. Lunch & dinner were adequate -- not great. You're better off eating in town especially Evie's restaurant & the numerous cafes along the marina.
Overall, we highly recommend the Tamara & the town of Kas. You'll love it!"

"We visited this hotel in the first week of September 2006 and were really pleased we did! It was booked last minute as a replacement for a different holiday we had been looking forward to all year ( we are still waiting for a refund from the company who went bankrupt! ) so we weren't really expecting much, however the hotel and the staff were all wonderful and the experience helped make up for our disappointment. If you have a choice of rooms, choose the standard ones on the top floor - they are large, airy and the view out to sea is amazing! We were supposed to spend our second week in an "deluxe suite" and after experiencing the normal rooms we were really excited - however they are horrible - they are dark and noisy ( ours was directly under the bar/restaurant ) and not as nice as the standard rooms. We eventually upgraded to an "executive suite" in a separate building which was larger than my own home! The bathroom is amazing! There's a massive plasma screen TV but we could only get Italian porn on it!
Overall the hotel was lovely but the food and drinks were a bit on the expensive side for Kas - £8 for a brandy!!
The manager, Mesut, was very friendly and eager to please, and we would go back."

"We just spent 3 nights at this beautifully located hotel. While not in the town of Kas, it is located about 5 kms just west of the city. There is a shuttle from the hotel to town and back, although it has a limited schedule. Taxis are reasonable and easy to call. As with the other reviewer, we too had a suite. It was beautifully appointed with similar amenities. There are some quirks: hot water faucets not working, no satellite reception on the TV, hallway lights going out after 20 seconds, exposed wiring, no safe in one suite and a safe in the other w/o a key. Most of these go unnoticed when you stay for a few days. They could become a burden over 7-14 days.
There were multiple little patio areas throughout the facility where you could hang out and command tremendous privacy from the other guests. The gardens interwoven throughout the grounds are wonderful. There are many flowers and fruit and olive trees. There was also a bar and two swimming pools, one of which is designated to those in the suites. On the Mediterranean, there were platforms for sunning and provided private access to the water where you could swim or snorkel. From the top floor, there were a lot of steps to climb. For those with limited mobility, this may cause problems. There is no elevator.
We had dinner one night at the hotel and it was good. My wife's lamb casserole was excellent. The other dishes very enjoyable too. It is odd that they don't give you a bill after any of the services. They just total it up at the end. This might be troublesome for some, but our purchases were limited. One of the nice things about Turkish hotels vs. American hotels is that they have no issue with you bringing your own beverages down to the pool area or in to your room.
The buffet breakfast was nice and fairly standard for Turkey. They even had some meats which we couldn't find elsewhere. You got to enjoy it on the deck overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean. There were also an abundance of cats that made for a lot of fun with each visit to the bar or deck. They would frolic constantly.
The service was really excellent. While there are clearly issues with some of the amenities, these are in no way related to the level of service we received from the exceedingly accommodating and friendly staff. They worked with what they had and did their best to make everyone comfortable. They also constantly assisted us in learning Turkish and never grew weary of our questions or attempts at their language.
I think that this could really be a first class place if the owner pays a little more attention to it. Everything is there, they just have to maintain some of the amenities. We would stay there again while visiting the area"

"Just returned from 2 weeks at Hotel Tamara.
Breathtaking scenery and fantastic location for this hotel.
We had a suite at the hotel, which was huge and well furnished with an enormous bathroom, plasma TV (but only with BBC World News).
This could be a fabulous hotel but unfortunately there are some annoying flaws.
No price lists in the bar and restaurant. Every one said that Turkey is "so cheap" to eat and drink and I did not enquire on prices until 8 days into holiday - to discover that a cocktail is £7.50 and a cheese roll £4.
So take a taxi to Kas, where a great meal for 2 with drinks is about £20.
No pool service offered for drinks and snacks.
Phone in room but with no directory - so no room service.
We paid £2,700 for this fortnight to discover that the hotel offers a 'cut out the middle man' booking service. Hence the couple in the suite above us paid £100 per night for the suite including breakfast.
All in all, I felt the owner was 'having us over'.
Would we go back? - yes, book direct and be aware of pricing."

Warner Bros Steals A Move From Disney, Will Pull 'Harry Potter' DVDs Out Of Circulation December 29
Posted on Monday, October 24th, 2011 by Germain Lussier
Come 2012, Harry Potter will no longer be on DVD shelves. Warner Bros. just made an announcement that as of December 29, 2011 all copies of Harry Potter movies, including the November 11 releases of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, and Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection will be taken out of circulation. It's a move reminiscent of Disney, who releases films on home video and then, after several months, puts them in "The Disney Vault" increasing the value of previously released product and creating interest in an eventual re-release. Let Pottermania begin again. Read more after the jump. Read More »

Aug 7th 2011 1:31PM We may yet be dealing with bolvar sooner or later though not this expansion maybe the next? Or after that. Ive done some theory crafting and i believe that arthas was corrupted by yogg-saron. There is multiple references referring to him as the death god. Even the vrykul that dealth with yogg saron referred to arthas as the death god.
There was a blizzard post sometime after iccs release that said there was a connection between arthas and yogg saron and that they wished they could touch upon it more but couldnt. I believe that arthas while frozen on the frozen throne was in a type of mental battle with yogg saron. I have other theories as proof but it would take forever to type up on a phone.
But i believe that like chogall we could see the new lich king bolvar, fall to yogg sarons will like i think arthas did

The final full day of Foothill League softball featured nothing out of the ordinary. Destiny Rodino shut down Golden Valley, as Hart won 10-0 to secure at least a share of the league championship. All the Indians can do now is wait, after Valencia beat Saugus 14-3. The Vikings and West Ranch must play the final regular season game on Thursday. A Valencia win means the third shared title in Valencia's eight year run atop league. A Viking loss and the streak end's at seven years.

We are building a house and our trim will be painted SW Dover White. I'm looking at Levolor faux wood blinds and was wondering what color blind I should pick to match? Since the trim isn't painted yet and I don't know if I want to wait any longer to buy my blinds, I can't hold up samples to the actual trim. I didn't know if anyone has Dover White trim and faux wood Levolor blinds in their house that could give me some guidance.
Thanks! |

The Boston Globe is set to implement its new subscription model, which will cost $3.99 a week for a digital-only subscription, and all print subscribers will get full digital access. The editor of the Globe, Marty Baron, made a visit to Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism this week to discuss with students the changing newspaper industry, but first he sat down with CJR's Alysia Santo for a brief discussion.
Did you ever anticipate, as an editor, that your role would be so focused on the business side?
When I was writing my remarks for my presentation today, I was struck when I finished: it's almost all about business strategy. That's kind of a new role for editors, and now it's a huge part of our job. We work with all the other operations of the company—digital, circulation, advertising. But the most important part of our job is the actual quality of the journalism that we do because the success of our operation depends entirely on the quality of our journalism.
Just before I walked in, I looked into the café that's right next to the journalism school, and there was not one newspaper in sight. Everybody was on a laptop or iPod or cell phone. That was very telling about the industry and the direction that we have to go.
Our aim is to be at the leading edge of what's happening in the digital transformation, while putting out a very high quality print product. We have made video a very big part of our operation, and we're actually a finalist for an Emmy award for online video. Three years ago I would never have anticipated anything like that.
How do you convince a reader who is used to getting something for free that he should pay? How do you affix a monetary value to the journalism?
There are going to be some people who won't pay, and we recognize that. The core of our strategy is that we intend to be two brands, with two sites. Boston.com will be free and BostonGlobe.com will be subscription.
We were evaluating the possibility of some sort of pay model for Boston.com and in analyzing our user base we saw that there were two different kinds of users. One was a group of very casual users, essentially snackers, people who looked at headlines—they may have looked at classified, they looked through photo galleries. They were very cursory readers of the site but they checked in a lot throughout the day.
There was this other group, and they were people who went to the site to really read the Boston Globe's journalism. And when you analyze them, they were essentially two different kinds of people, with two different sets of inclinations or willingness to pay. So people who were snackers were pretty much not willing to pay. And people who were deeper readers understood that this required an investment on our part, that there was real value there, and that somehow it needed to be paid for, and they were more receptive to the idea of paying for that information.
In fact about half the people who were using Boston.com didn't even know it was owned by the Boston Globe. So based on that observation, and research, and internal testing of that concept, we launched this strategy.
The other thing we're offering is the experience you're going to have. One of the things I point out to people is, when they buy a car they don't just buy it to get them safely from point A to B. They might buy one over another because it's more luxurious, it's smoother, it's more comfortable, it conforms to their self-image. We as an industry have tended to treat everybody essentially as if they're all the same, as if they all have the same experience. That may be unique to our industry, I'm not sure, but that's certainly not common in industry as a whole. If we can provide a superior experience, we think that will be a major attraction.
We're implementing a new technology called responsive design. It detects what size screen you have and so the presentation is customized for that size screen, the entire presentation adjusts. In fact, if you take a browser and you start to shrink the browser size you'll watch it change. We don't have to create an app for every different device, an app for the iPad, the iPhone, the android device, we can create one website and it will adapt and be the same experience no matter how you access it.
Will Boston.com and the Boston Globe be sharing any content?

Bridgette Raes sees a flashback in foot and legwear trends.
The author of "Style Rx: Dressing the Body You Have to Create the Body You Want" says fashion-savvy women need only look back to the '90s to recall the importance of tights.
"Women are embracing opaque tights for work, even with suited looks, and are wearing them with booties," Raes says. "And they're venturing beyond just neutrals in their color choices."
Replacing your black tights with something in a rich color or with a great pattern can add a little interest to your wardrobe, she says.
"Color is definitely popular and a great way to 'funk up' a look," she says. "The most popular colors are still rich, like burgundy, deep green and navy."
Opaque tights are a natural these days, she says, and a solid choice if you're heading into the office, where patterned tights might be a bit inappropriate.

Kate Bosworth and Zoe Saldana Talk Perfect Holiday Presents at the Target x Neiman Marcus Holiday Launch
Last night, we joined Kate Bosworth, Zoe Saldana, Allison Williams and scores of other stars to celebrate Target and Neiman Marcus' holiday collaboration—and to shop the designer wares before they hit stores (and the web) December 1. Judging by how long the A-list guests stuck around to browse the collection after the red carpet craziness, we're guessing they picked up a few holiday treats, too.
"I really like the Proenza sweatshirt," Bosworth told me when asked about her favorite piece from the lineup. "And Prabal did a really sweet cape that's a perfect holiday purchase." A longtime fan of Gurung's clothes, she said she's incredibly excited for the designer's own Target collab to drop next year. "I think these partnerships are fantastic. The designers they pick are brilliant, and there's so much hard work that goes into what they do, so it's nice to see more people being able to appreciate it."
So what's Bosworth got planned for the holidays? "I'm gonna be at home in L.A.—I'm so happy!" she said. "I've been working in New Orleans on a film that's been wonderful, but [my character] is kind of a crazy. She's a meth addict, so it's quite an aggressive kind of character, and there's only a certain amount of time you can inhabit a character like that! Honestly, I just want to be at home and cooking with [my fiancé] Michael, his daughter, my parents and my grandparents. That's the only thing that I want for the holidays—family."
In terms of more tangible gifts, we wondered what Kate likes to give her friends for Christmas. "I always think a photo is nice," she said. "That's probably the most personal thing you can do. You can go and have it custom-framed, and it's not too expensive. And it works for so many people!"
Saldana, on the other hand, chose a classic stocking stuffer as her go-to gift. "Candles! People like candles. I hate—OK, I dislike with a passion—getting or receiving arbitrary gifts." Agrees Jason Wu, "I'm giving a lot of Jason Wu candles out, because that's the only thing that I make that's unisex."
As for designer Lela Rose, the best presents are of the drinkable sort. "There's this moonshine whiskey that's made in Brooklyn that I give to everyone!" she laughed. "It's in this very chic bottle. I always find that moonshine's a good way to go." Bottoms up!
Click through to see what the stars wore to last night's Target x Neiman Marcus launch event. Are you psyched for the collection's December 1 release?

Bobby McMahon has a new article up on Forbes that, unlike most in recent days, attempts to frame Arsenal's form this season to something other than their transfer activity:
It sounds strange to say that an Arsenal squad that includes Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gervinho lacks pace but it certainly does in key areas of the field. Arsenal has suddenly become a team that struggles to "run away" from the opposition in the midfield and just as importantly, it lacks a player who can consistently play a decisive pass into a packed opposition penalty area.
Arsenal's ability to maintain possession has actually become a detractor. The opposition knows that if they sit deep and defend passively Arsenal will pass from side to side but rarely threaten.
Earlier in the piece, McMahon speaks of how certain teams have long been associated with a certain 'brand' of football. Brazil play something called 'Samba football,' (although they haven't arguably since Spain 1982), Italy use catenaccio (even though they plainly don't and arguably never did, except when Helenio Herrera coached Inter in away games in the 1960s), and Arsenal 'pass the ball into the net.'
I think McMahon gets as close as anyone as to why this debate over their form has been limited to the ledger and not to the team's tactics with their available personnel. First, because their ledger is an obvious outlier among top clubs in the Premier League. But second, because Arsenal's brand of football is so entrenched in the popular imagination that no one questions whether Wenger has effectively adapted his approach to suit his club's limited transfer strategy. Could you imagine Arsenal fans singing "You don't know what you're doing?" to Arsene Wenger?
It's a given, like Brazil's sexiness and Italian defending. Right?

Last night was my much anticipated second date with Suburbs Guy.
I decided to be a sport and hike out to the 'burbs so he wouldn't think I'm one of those city girls whose head will explode if she has to leave the city. And to tell you the truth, the bus and train schedules did bring me to a near explosion, but then he offered to meet me in the city and drive. Crisis averted!
All he'd told me about the night was that it would be cheesy and that it was a surprise. I like surprises. Especially ones that involve cute boys. And boy did he adorable in a lightweight blue sweater and jeans. While we drove, we talked about music, movies, books and websites we read every day. Our tastes are surprisingly similar. Then I had a moment of panic. I know you're thinking, "K? Panic? No way!" but hear me out.
We were driving for a really long time. And I didn't know where we were going. And it was only our second date. And theoretically, he could have been a serial killer. I suddenly realized how incredibly vulnerable I was, and how I should have maybe gotten al of the necessary information I got in the car with an almost-stranger.
"Is everything okay?" he asked. "You look... tense."
"Fine. Fine. Everything's fine. So, uh, where exactly are we going?"
He said the name of a town I'd never heard of.
"Is that near where you live?" I asked, trying not so do so nervously.
"Oh, no. We passed my town like 15 minutes ago. K, what's wrong?"
Disclaimer: I don't actually think that the following would have been effective had Suburbs Guy actually been a serial killer.
"Um, it's just that it's only our second date and I don't know you and you're driving us really far away and part of me is worried that you're going to take me in the woods and kill me."
I have such a way with words, don't I?
"K, oh my god. I didn't even think of that. I'm so sorry."
He's sorry? I called him a serial killer and he's sorry?
So then he explained we were going to Friendly's, a place I told him on our first date that I've never even heard of. He claimed that I haven't lived until I've had one of their sundaes. So he thought he'd surprise me, which is really kind of sweet.
When we got there, I had myself a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup sundae on chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream (Hey, if I'm going to be bad, might as well go all out), and then we drove up to his town's version of Lookout Point, where we parked. For a really, really long time, even though all we did was makeout. (It's only the second date afterall!). And then he drove me all the way home.
Date #3, Saturday. I'm making him dinner. Let's hope cooking class pays off.

Breakfast Topic: Alterac Valley, day one
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Blizzard, PvP, Breakfast Topics, Battlegrounds
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Blizzard, PvP, Breakfast Topics, Battlegrounds
The REAL question is whether it will fix the win balance and therefore, fix horde's wait times.
The real answer is no. The only thing that'll fix the win balance is smarter play from the alliance side. Having no afkers, if it were even possible, does nothing to help with idiotic tactics and people who don't seem to realize where they are
As for the changes... I'm a little concerned about potential for abuse, but as long as the people cheating the system get nailed I'm happy.
Day 1: Level 70 Orc Enhance Shaman
This mornings games were something special. With the buff on Bal and Val It was more difficult moving up the map, and with AV being the race it has been for months its now a losing battle at times. Out of the 7 games this morning that I played before our restart we won one, it was a 50 minute game of 35 horde on defense..and the others were loses with no hope of getting pass SH GY.
Horde still gets about 10 AFKers usually (On Ruin battlegroup) but everyone is very report-happy. even so that I was reported inactive while eating some Mage food at FW after a long battle with a Warrior. Hopefully situations like that are not ban worthy. There are little tweaks that re needed.
I don't think it's an AV-only thing really. It was just more habitual. With the huge queue times in AV, I've been seeing 2-3 AFK'ers frequently in every EOTS and AB pug that I've joined in an effort to get the daily BG quest done.
Those are the BG's where it hurts the most. You can win an AV with 35 on each side or a few less or more on either. An AB with 15 vs 12 is going to be really difficult to win. An EOTS where you can only realistically defend 2 bases becomes difficult to win.
I think it's great Blizzard has finally grown a pair and decided to somewhat fix the problem of AFK'ers. I know it'd be better to solve the question of "why do people AFK in a BG", but I'm not sure that's something you can solve, when the reward was always greater than the risk by far.
If people are scared to join AV, that's great. Less scrubs. I think it's clear to anyone with a clue what non-participation happens to be.
If you're being a moron and you run straight to a node in AV that's not even anywhere close to be contested, you're really not a desireable person in AV anyway. Fight with the pack, fall back when necessary and actually learn how to win in AV if you have to. It's not terribly difficult. The guy who starts the game by running to the Aid Station, just simply doesn't know what they're doing. I don't think most people are going to report that person for AFK'ing, although if the node gets capped while they're "defending" by talking in guild chat while appearing to be defending, I don't think they're any better than the cave AFK'ers and they deserve to be punished just the same.
I personally use that mod (TTLM) to determine who's AFK and who's just slacking or being crap or whatever. It's pretty good, and it's customizable so you can have it be as loose or strict as you want for automatically reporting people in BG's. I personally think Blizzard should be responsible for determining who's afk'ing and who's contributing, but thankfully the mod community is there to pick up the slack. If you've capped a node, you're exempt. If you're doing damage, healing or otherwise actually participating, you're going to be exempt. If you're standing around somewhere and not changing your general location (ie: swimming in the river naked, or running around the frostwolf pen) you're going to trigger the auto report, as well as people literally standing around doing nothing. It's good stuff!
Auto-report mods like that are what is causing horde to lose AV. Far to many idiots seem to have them set far to lose and you get marked AFK after a few minutes on defence. Im talking about when you know there are 5-10 alliance trying to ninja GY's (or van pre-buff), and so you can go a while between direct combat to knock the debuff off. I got so sick of it that now I don't D unless I can pretty much stay in combat the entire time. So now I see very few people who actually will stay and defend towers and GY's from ninja's, for fear of losing honour.
You also get the fun of a group of cave campers using them to report the people actually playing.
I don't know what you're talking about honestly. Horde in my group almost never loses (except to a well crafted Alliance zerg, and even then it's not a 'loss' since they end up with 250ish honor and we end up with 280ish).
There's never been a time where I've gone more than a minute or two between combat actions. At all. I've gotta think you're doing it wrong if you're consistently away from the action. If 5-10 people are "ninja'ing" a node, then I'd like to think that's enough people doing it that you're going to be in combat repeatedly and not waiting around for them to show up.
You don't have to stand idle at a tower or a bunker or a graveyeard to defend it. There's a 4-minute timer on it for a reason. Go where the nearest action is, and recap it when you get clear. In the good games for Horde, we've got a 5+ man group that's constantly on the move between nodes. The other side isn't going to keep 5-10 people sitting in a node waiting for it to cap, why should you stand around in one waiting for the action to come to you?
AV is not about defending by standing still. Defense works when you meet the offense head on and stop them or delay them at their objectives. That's enough to win.
I've never seen the AFK debuff. I've clocked approximately 180k honor in the last 6 months worth of BG's, most of it in AV. I play exclusively on defense, since I don't think the HK honor is as good on offense until the other side's offense gives up. If you're standing around somewhere out of combat, you're really probably needed elsewhere.
I was in AV last night and somehow couldn't get past the archers in FWVillage, so I began killing the NPCs (all 58K+ hit pts of them) in there and spent the entire battle making it easier for Ally to enter. I only had 3 horde kills but my damage done was 4th in the BG.
Now, I spent some time healing pet & eating & drinking after each NPC encounter, so I could've been flagged during those times. I just hope Blizz will evaluate the whole of the BG period and not just the few seconds when someone passes me on the road before dropping the Big Blue Hammer.
Something weird has happened lately. On Vengeance we (horde) usually win 9/10 AV's. We usually get a decent defense and offense going, but lately it's gotten really bad where we lose 7/10 games.
My money is on afk reporting. Not that it's bad, but that so many afkers are doing it right outside of drek that you think theres ten on D when really there's only one, and the rest are afk.
The AFKing has seemed to gone back to almost pre-afk report levels.
I haven't had a chance to play AV this weekend. I need the EotS tokens. But, my only real concern is the abuse. If you have time to manually report someone, then you're AFK too. The system has it's flaws and will probably be revamped. There will be too many people who just arrived in or are healing themselves getting bans with some of the trigger happy people out there. I don't really see a way to fix it except to alter how honor is gained, but there's too many exceptions to the rule.
Then there's the vindictive jerks like me. If I get reported, I'm reporting you too for the reason above.
No, it's not helping.
1. I've seen people in Wedding Dresses, who instead of actually participating will zerg in with a fishing pole and die. They don't get reported AFK because they are fighting and dying, but they aren't participating and may as well be AFK.
2. I've seen people find sneakier places to go AFK. Yesterday during an assault on Dun Baldar, I dropped off the bridge to help someone and there were 2 or 3 rogues down there stealhAFK. Not only were they leeching honor from the BG as a whole, but from the kills on the bridge as well.
I would say it's not working so far.
I haven't even been able to play an AV game since a couple days ago.
The queue is now over 2 hrs.
AV is about a 6 minute wait whereas AB and EOTS is taking about 20 minutes now, at least it means The elemental totems see more use, but still, the thing I miss most of AV is seeing people with that goblin shredder toy - is it even possible to get it anymore?
If people are just saying "I won't play AV" then they're just half-assing it. You can AFK in any battleground, it's just "safer" to do so in AV because you have the cave. You can AFK in the building in AB, or anywhere on the map in WSG, and hide up on the starting rock in EotS. So you can be AFK anywhere.
On another note. I think that this is going to be just like when the reporting first came out. I remember being in a battleground and EVERYONE was yelling in /bg to report anything not moving constantly. Then after about a week it died down and people stopped with that. Almost to the point of not reporting at all in some cases. So once everyone learns that you actually have to report people who ARE AFK and not those who are helping by either defending or who are actually fighting.
Personally I'm glad they implimented this change. I'm on the Stormstrike battlegroup and I'd given up on AV because 50+% of the team was usually AFK. I went in this morning just to see if people had changed a little and only saw one or two AFKers each time. It was refreshing. We still lost to the Horde, but it wasn't a 600/0 honor game.
When I'm dead, I take those few seconds to check the score list and report anything close to 0 damage AND 0 healing. Sometimes i find someone with a few thousand damage that's been there the whole fight (same honor that I have earned) and I'll report them for doing just enough damage to get out of the 0/0 range.
Other than that, I'm not going out of my way to report someone defending a node or tower waiting on it to burn that appears to be standing still.
Not sure if its going to work. I was in AV and got reported AFK when I was res'ed at the Cave due to us having no GY. Even though I had be capping Towers and defending them. The problem is people shouldnt be able to use the map to report AFK. instead it should be though the leaderboard so you can make an informed desission about who is really AfK rather than being on a area of a map.
lol, The onnly people making up things like 'I'm scared to play AV!' are people who AFK, cause they're the only ones to have something to be scared of. So if you see anyone saying that, it's because they afk, and be sure to keep an eye out for the botting in AV.

I like to play AV because I think it is the most fun. It is also the fastest one to get into. I can get into a new battle with less than a minute rather then 10-15min the other ones take and gives me the most honor then the other ones do. The only problem I hate about AV is that as soon as we leave the cave like 5-10 ppl don't come out with us and ppl are like report the AFK. I particapate really well and help at killing Bal and Vann. I am for the horde btw...alliance has gay characters. The only time i don't participate is if the alliance owns all the middle bunkers and when i die i rez at frost wolf keep. i just stay back cuz trying to get to van will take forever cuz i keep dying cuz of the guarded alliance bunkers and i keep rezzing at FWK cuz its the close owned horde graveyard. So i just go behind Drek'Thar and protect him or wait at the entrance and taunt the alliance scum who are waiting to rush in. That doesn't happen all the time im usually with the rest of the horde but horde has a hard time keeping things in the middle capped so i either rezz by the bridge to van or at FWK since that is the only things we keep capped. I still think the AFK should be kicked out but it ppl are at FWK or the Alliance place guarding thier leaders they shouldn't be removed cuz they are still participating.
What I need is a way to report people in WSG who have the flag but won't turn it in. It's bad enough having to break the turtle to get to the flag in the first place, but it's worse when you flag carrier hops up on the roof and decides to pick their nose for the next few hours. I've actually started looking forward to getting rolled by Alliance premades since I'll at least get a mark out of it.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The word of ADONAI came to me: | 1 The word of the LORD came to me: |
2 "Human being, make Yerushalayim realize how disgusting her practices are. | 2 "Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her detestable practices |
3 Say that Adonai ELOHIM is telling Yerushalayim, 'By origin and birth you are of the land of the Kena'ani - your father was an Emori, and your mother was a Hitti. | 3 and say, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Jerusalem: Your ancestry and birth were in the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. |
4 As for your birth - on the day you were born nobody cut your umbilical cord, washed you in water to clean you off, rubbed salt on you or wrapped you in cloth. | 4 On the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to make you clean, nor were you rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths. |
5 No one seeing you had enough pity on you to do any of these things for you - no one had any compassion on you. Instead, you were thrown into an open field in your own filth on the day you were born. | 5 No one looked on you with pity or had compassion enough to do any of these things for you. Rather, you were thrown out into the open field, for on the day you were born you were despised. |
6 "'I passed by and saw you there, wallowing in your own blood; and as you lay in your blood I said to you, "Live!" Yes, I said to you, as you lay in your blood, "Live! | 6 " 'Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, "Live!" |
7 I will increase your numbers just like plants growing in the field." And you did increase, you developed, you reached puberty, your breasts appeared, and your hair grew long; but you were naked and exposed. | 7 I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew up and developed and became the most beautiful of jewels. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, you who were naked and bare. |
8 "'Again I passed by you, looked at you and saw that your time had come, the time for love. So I spread my cloak over you to cover your private parts and entered into a covenant with you,' says Adonai ELOHIM, 'and you became mine. | 8 " 'Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign LORD, and you became mine. |
9 Then I bathed you in water, washed the blood off you, and anointed you with oil. | 9 " 'I bathed you with water and washed the blood from you and put ointments on you. |
10 I also clothed you with an embroidered gown, gave you fine leather sandals to wear, put a fine linen headband on your head and covered you with silk. | 10 I clothed you with an embroidered dress and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with costly garments. |
11 I gave you jewelry to wear, bracelets for your hands, a necklace for your neck, | 11 I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, |
12 a ring for your nose, earrings for your ears and a beautiful crown for your head. | 12 and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. |
13 Thus you were decked out in gold and silver; your clothing was of fine linen, silk and richly embroidered cloth; you ate the finest flour, honey and olive oil. You grew increasingly beautiful - you were fit to be queen. | 13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. Your food was fine flour, honey and olive oil. You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen. |
14 Your fame spread among the nations because of your beauty, because it was perfect, due to my having bestowed my own splendor on you' says Adonai ELOHIM. | 14 And your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign LORD. |
15 "'But you put your trust in your own beauty and began prostituting yourself because of your fame, soliciting everyone passing by and accepting all comers. | 15 " 'But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a prostitute. You lavished your favors on anyone who passed by and your beauty became his. |
16 You took your clothes and used them to decorate with bright colors the high places you made for yourself, and there you continued prostituting yourself. Such things shouldn't happen, and in the future they won't. | 16 You took some of your garments to make gaudy high places, where you carried on your prostitution. Such things should not happen, nor should they ever occur. |
17 You also took your beautiful jewels made of my gold and my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images, with which you continued to prostitute yourself. | 17 You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged in prostitution with them. |
18 You took your embroidered clothing and covered them; you set my olive oil and my incense in front of them; | 18 And you took your embroidered clothes to put on them, and you offered my oil and incense before them. |
19 and you took my food, which I had given you - my fine flour, olive oil and honey, that I had given you to eat - and set it in front of them to give a pleasant aroma. That is how it was,' says Adonai ELOHIM. | 19 Also the food I provided for you--the fine flour, olive oil and honey I gave you to eat--you offered as fragrant incense before them. That is what happened, declares the Sovereign LORD. |
20 "'Moreover, your sons and daughters, whom you bore me, you took and sacrificed for them to devour. Were these fornications of yours a casual matter? - | 20 " 'And you took your sons and daughters whom you bore to me and sacrificed them as food to the idols. Was your prostitution not enough? |
21 killing my children, handing them over and setting them apart for [these idols]? | 21 You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols. |
22 In all your disgusting practices and fornications you never remembered the condition you were in when you were young - naked, exposed and wallowing in your own blood. | 22 In all your detestable practices and your prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, kicking about in your blood. |
23 "'So, after all this wickedness of yours - woe, woe to you!' says Adonai ELOHIM - | 23 " 'Woe! Woe to you, declares the Sovereign LORD. In addition to all your other wickedness, |
24 'you built platforms and made yourself high places in every open space. | 24 you built a mound for yourself and made a lofty shrine in every public square. |
25 You built your high places at every streetcorner, turning your beauty into an abomination, spreading your legs for every passer-by, and multiplying your acts of fornication. | 25 At the head of every street you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, offering your body with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passed by. |
26 You had sex with your big-membered Egyptian neighbors and engaged in fornication over and over, just to provoke me. | 26 You engaged in prostitution with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, and provoked me to anger with your increasing promiscuity. |
27 So now I have stretched out my hand over you, diminished your ration of food and put you at the mercy of those who hate you, the daughters of the P'lishtim, who find your lewd behavior revolting. | 27 So I stretched out my hand against you and reduced your territory; I gave you over to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were shocked by your lewd conduct. |
28 "'Still unsatisfied, you acted like a whore also with the people of Ashur; yes, you fornicated with them and were still not satisfied. | 28 You engaged in prostitution with the Assyrians too, because you were insatiable; and even after that, you still were not satisfied. |
29 You multiplied your acts of fornication with the land of traders, the Kasdim, and still weren't satisfied. | 29 Then you increased your promiscuity to include Babylonia, a land of merchants, but even with this you were not satisfied. |
30 "'You are so weak-willed!' says Adonai ELOHIM. 'You do all these things, behaving like a shameless whore, | 30 " 'How weak-willed you are, declares the Sovereign LORD, when you do all these things, acting like a brazen prostitute! |
31 building your platforms on every streetcorner, making your high places in every open space - and yet you aren't like a whore, because you scorn getting paid. | 31 When you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were unlike a prostitute, because you scorned payment. |
32 Here is a wife who commits adultery, who goes to bed with strangers instead of her husband; | 32 " 'You adulterous wife! You prefer strangers to your own husband! |
33 but also instead of receiving gifts like every other prostitute, you give gifts to all your lovers, you bribe them to come to you from all over the place and have sex with you! | 33 Every prostitute receives a fee, but you give gifts to all your lovers, bribing them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors. |
34 You are the opposite of other women - you solicit the fornication, you aren't solicited; and you pay them, they don't pay you - you're the opposite! | 34 So in your prostitution you are the opposite of others; no one runs after you for your favors. You are the very opposite, for you give payment and none is given to you. |
35 "'All right, you whore, listen to the word of ADONAI!' | 35 " 'Therefore, you prostitute, hear the word of the LORD! |
36 Adonai ELOHIM says: 'Because your filth has been poured out and your privates exposed through your acts of fornication with your lovers, and because of all the idols of your disgusting practices, and because of the blood of your children, which you gave them, | 36 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children's blood, |
37 therefore, look! I am going to gather all your lovers, to whom you have been so very nice, all the ones you hate right along with all the ones you love - I will gather them against you from all over the place and expose your private parts to them, so that they will see you completely naked. | 37 therefore I am going to gather all your lovers, with whom you found pleasure, those you loved as well as those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and will strip you in front of them, and they will see all your nakedness. |
38 I will pronounce on you the sentence that applies to women who commit adultery and murder; I will bring on you the death [decreed for] furious jealousy. | 38 I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and who shed blood; I will bring upon you the blood vengeance of my wrath and jealous anger. |
39 Yes, I will hand you over to them; and they will make a ruin of your platforms, tear down your high places, strip you of your clothes, take away your jewels, and leave you naked and exposed. | 39 Then I will hand you over to your lovers, and they will tear down your mounds and destroy your lofty shrines. They will strip you of your clothes and take your fine jewelry and leave you naked and bare. |
40 They will also bring up a mob against you, who will stone you to death and hack you to pieces with their swords. | 40 They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and hack you to pieces with their swords. |
41 They will burn your houses to the ground and execute judgments against you in the presence of many women. I will make you stop fornicating, and you will never again pay for a lover. | 41 They will burn down your houses and inflict punishment on you in the sight of many women. I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers. |
42 "'Yes, I will satisfy my fury against you. But after that, my jealousy will leave you; and I will calm down and no longer be angry. | 42 Then my wrath against you will subside and my jealous anger will turn away from you; I will be calm and no longer angry. |
43 "'Because you didn't remember the condition you were in when you were young, but enraged me with all these things, therefore I will bring [the consequences of] your ways on your own head' says Adonai ELOHIM. "'You committed these obscenities in addition to all your other disgusting practices! | 43 " 'Because you did not remember the days of your youth but enraged me with all these things, I will surely bring down on your head what you have done, declares the Sovereign LORD. Did you not add lewdness to all your other detestable practices? |
44 Everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb against you, "Like mother, like daughter." | 44 " 'Everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb about you: "Like mother, like daughter." |
45 Yes, you are your mother's daughter, who despises her husband and children; you are the sister of your sisters, who despise their husbands and children; your mother was a Hitti and your father an Emori. | 45 You are a true daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and her children; and you are a true sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite. |
46 Moreover, your older sister is Shomron, who lives at your left, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, living at your right, is S'dom with her daughters. | 46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived to the north of you with her daughters; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you with her daughters, was Sodom. |
47 You didn't merely live by their ways and act according to their disgusting practices, but in a very short time you acted more corruptly than they in all your ways. | 47 You not only walked in their ways and copied their detestable practices, but in all your ways you soon became more depraved than they. |
48 "'As I live' says Adonai ELOHIM, 'your sister S'dom has not done, neither she nor her daughters, [as much evil] as you have done, you and your daughters. | 48 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did what you and your daughters have done. |
49 The crimes of your sister S'dom were pride and gluttony; she and her daughters were careless and complacent, so that they did nothing to help the poor and needy. | 49 " 'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. |
50 They were arrogant and committed disgusting acts before me; so that when I saw it, I swept them away. | 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. |
51 Shomron did not commit even half as many sins as you did. You committed many more disgusting acts than your sisters; in fact, in comparison with all the disgusting acts you have committed, they seem innocent! | 51 Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more detestable things than they, and have made your sisters seem righteous by all these things you have done. |
52 But you too must bear your disgrace; for by your passing judgment that your sisters were innocent, through your having committed sins worse than theirs, they are shown to be more righteous than you. So be ashamed, and bear the disgrace you deserve for making your [guilty] sisters seem innocent! | 52 Bear your disgrace, for you have furnished some justification for your sisters. Because your sins were more vile than theirs, they appear more righteous than you. So then, be ashamed and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous. |
53 "'I will end their exile - the exile of S'dom and her daughters, the exile of Shomron and her daughters, and the exile of your captives there among them; | 53 " 'However, I will restore the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters and of Samaria and her daughters, and your fortunes along with them, |
54 so that you can bear your own shame and experience the disgrace you deserve for all you have done to shield them from feeling their own guilt. | 54 so that you may bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you have done in giving them comfort. |
55 Your sisters, S'dom with her daughters and Shomron with her daughters, will return to their previous condition; and you with your daughters will return to your previous condition. | 55 And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to what they were before; and you and your daughters will return to what you were before. |
56 When you were so proud, you spoke with contempt about your sister S'dom, | 56 You would not even mention your sister Sodom in the day of your pride, |
57 before your own wickedness was exposed. But now the daughters of Aram mock you, as do her neighbors; and the daughters of the P'lishtim on every side are repulsed by you. | 57 before your wickedness was uncovered. Even so, you are now scorned by the daughters of Edom and all her neighbors and the daughters of the Philistines--all those around you who despise you. |
58 You have brought it all on yourself with your depravities and disgusting practices,' says ADONAI. | 58 You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your detestable practices, declares the LORD. |
59 "For here is what Adonai ELOHIM says: 'I will do to you as you have done - you treated the oath with contempt by breaking the covenant. | 59 " 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will deal with you as you deserve, because you have despised my oath by breaking the covenant. |
60 Nevertheless, I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were a girl and will establish an everlasting covenant with you. | 60 Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you. |
61 Then you will remember your behavior and be ashamed of it as you receive your older and younger sisters and make them your daughters, even though the covenant with you does not cover that; | 61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both those who are older than you and those who are younger. I will give them to you as daughters, but not on the basis of my covenant with you. |
62 and I will re-establish my covenant with you. Then you will know that I am ADONAI; | 62 So I will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD. |
63 so that you will remember and be so ashamed that you will never open your mouth again, so ashamed will you be when I have forgiven you all that you have done,' says Adonai ELOHIM." | 63 Then, when I make atonement for you for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your humiliation, declares the Sovereign LORD.'

This week for Throwback Thursday we're playing a set from Annie Lennox, whose birthday was this Christmas.
Annie Lennox is in pretty successful company as a Christmas baby – Sir Isaac Newton, Rod Serling, Jimmy Buffett, and Humphrey Bogart are among some of the more notable people to share that birthday. Out of all of them, and out of pretty much anyone born on any day ever, Annie Lennox stands out. With a career on the edge of spanning 5 decades, Lennox has not only stayed relevant – she's never been boring. Sir Isaac Newton, as the rest of my 9th grade science class could attest, can not say the same.
Starting off with The Tourists in the 1970′s, she gained international success with The Eurythmics throughout the 1980′s. After that, she started a successful solo career in the 1990′s and has revisited The Eurythmics in the time since as well. She's one of the most highly respected singers and musicians of all time – she's received 8 Brit Awards, 4 Grammys, an MTV Video Music Award, an Academy Award and Golden Globe (both for "Into the West," which was written for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King), and a Billboard Century Award while being named "The Greatest White Soul Singer Alive" by VH1 and one of The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone. In addition, she's also a notable activist, raising money and awareness especially for HIV charities in Africa. Including her work within Eurythmics, Lennox has sold over 80 million records worldwide
Come celebrate the birthday of the "the most successful woman in UK Music History" at 5pm this afternoon on WERS!
