Ms Rico has always been very responsive to my concerns/requests. She has personally responded to my emails and has even called me at home. She cares about the students immensely. Susan Webber is another fantastic administrator who really cares about all the students of Bancroft. This school agrees to teach every kid that walks in the door unlike many/most charters that pressure kids with disabilities or low test scores to leave their schools. I have been very impressed with the caliber of many of my child's teachers at this school.
Don't send your kids to this school!!! The staff is very unprofessional the principal is always hiding from parents . it's a very bad school overall. It doesn't even deserve a star.
I was disappointed the way this principal treats her staff/teachers. I was planning to transfer my kid to this school as referred by my friend whose kids graduated here 4 or 5 yrs ago. My friend told me that the teachers in this school go beyond their job to help her kid developed & improved character. So I decided to inquire unfortunately while I was in the school office no one is in the reception area .But I could see through a window and heard a high pitch voice coming from the principal's office that she's scolding a staff or teacher or whatever. The way she talked sounds unprofessional & as if no respect to the co- workers. I am a professional parent how can I transfer my kid in this school if this kind of principal talks that way to her collegues what more to the students? Not a good example.
hello my name is elliott alper i began going to this school in 1968 and lasted until 1969 and then to emerson junior high in 1970 and graduated in 1971 bancroft was too small for its p.e. field and the kids were not friendly emerson had good students and i was a friend to a lot of them. im sure that bancroft has changed thruout the years but i would not send my kid there at all emerson is a great school. i graduated in 1971 and now its 2012 and im happy to fulfill my working years and thats all bancroft is one star on my list.
Well i think this is a great school so whatever people say wont stop me!!! if it werent a great school then why be in this page!!! so watever
I am very disappointed. Teachers tell you at Open House that they don't want too much parent involvement. My son scored high on the STARS state exam and was placed in AP classes. He had to miss some days due to illness and they were quick to send out truancy letters. He was not performing well in class and I asked him why. He said that the English teacher scolded him for asking a question. After that he was afraid to ask for help. When my husband went to the school the teacher seemed shocked and admonished him that he was to use school loop. Both my husband & I are computer literate. I find it to be neither user friendly nor useful but the teachers hide behind it. My son failed 2 of his classes even after teachers promised that if he turned in all assignments and did extra credit work he would pass. I made sure he did all hw & made 3 20-mile round trips in search of grunion for extra credit to no avail. Based on his grades I doubt that he learned a thing. The teachers are cowards & liars. Did not want to talk to us face to face & waited until school was out to send out his report card so that it would be too late for us to speak to anyone.
This school doesn't have a clue on what the other students are really doing. I understand that they can't watch all kids but they stress on the bullying and I seen it happen in front of their eyes but they didn't do anything. For example there was a talent show where a student was rapping and putting another student down. Later after the show the girl was crying. Why is this acceptable? I also think they should change the principal because she doesn't seem to have a clue on what was going on. I liked the previous one better.
I guess it would depend on your race because if you were not hispanic your child will get blamed and the teachers will assume that your kid is not going to learn anything. Maybe this is a good school for you but not for my child.
I wrote a review as a teacher about five years ago. It was a positive review then and it absolutely continues to be a positive review now! I truly love the collection of deeply committed teachers and sweet students. I mean the kids are AAHHH-MAZING! My colleagues are supportive. Overall I can t imagine being anywhere else. I have worked at two very different schools in my teaching career and I can t say it enough this is the school for me. I hope to rewrite my review in five more years because I am staying put and I am not going anywhere!
Bancroft Middle School is a great place to learn. The majority of our staff member are devoted to ensure student progress. In support of this our school's API score rose nearly 50 points which was the highest percent increase in LAUSD district 4. Enough said.
Having been a parent of a student for three years at Bancroft I can honestly say that this middle school is one of the finest in LAUSD. It has many program options for students and one of the best SAS programs because of the enormous dedication from teachers coordinators and staff in general. Whenever I had a question or concern it was very well addressed and dealt with. As adults we must know how to resolve conflicts and set good examples for our children and I can imagine that teachers do the same. If you speak in a demeaning way and out of rage about the place where you work and your boss you always have choices. Go work somewhere else!! Your students do not deserve such bitterness. Think about students first and always. Bancroft may not be the best place for everyone but it was certainly the place for my son and for many others who have bloom and succeeded at this school.
I am know a freshmen and that was the worse school I ever went to too many fights and people do drugs.Dont go to this school bad school.The teachers don't even know what going on with there students.
It's a great school most of the students get good grades and there's a few slackers.
This school is very great. I have been there since Sep. 09' and im a 7th and so far its its going great. Sure some students can get out of control but the teachers can control it.
i love this school i recommend going to Bancroft. I am an eighth grader and Bancroft has helped me learn so much.sure the school has very poor but many teachers care about there students.The teachers try to get there students ready for high school and college they not only help you with your studies they can help you with problems you might have at home .So if your not sure where to go to middle school go to Bancroft .It has taught me many new things.Also it has a wonderful dance teacher she can really help you. ms.king our drill team coach helps you too and i love that i am from Bancroft. It is one decision i will NEVER regret.
I am an alumni of Bancroft graduated in 2006. This is an honest opinion from someone who had experienced 3 years in that school and is now a junior. Although at the time I might have disliked the school attending Bancroft is something I don't regret. Of course like any other school changes can be made. During my three years there I was lucky enough to get some of the best teachers I have had. I'm not saying all teachers were great but for the most part I was lucky enough to have some very good teachers by my side. I recently learned that many of the teachers I had are now gone which may be why there have been some bad reviews but know this Bancroft is not all that it sounds to be if anything it is (if not was) one of the most well-rounded schools I know
Bancroft Middle School for me is a very low class school it has low acedemics and does not have all the books that students need to learn and to succed to college. The students are very ill-tempered as well. In which the school is very harmful.
I am attending B.M.S. right now and it's my first year here. So far I think it's a good school. The best thing about this school is the dance classes and the shows.

ZZ Top and Jeff Beck hit the road tonight (August 8) in Missoula, Mont., for one of the summer's most highly anticipated double bills. ZZ's Billy Gibbons tells us that he and Beck have been friends since the original Jeff Beck Group first toured the U.S. in 1968, and the two bond these days over more than just music: "It started with a conversation between Jeff and I on a long distance call talking about things loud -- not guitars and amps but cars, and hot rod cars at that...Jeff's as big a car nut as the next one of us. I just found it fascinating that our friendship, which started in 1968, has found so much, I guess you'd call it ongoing energy through the years, talking about, mainly about hot rods and what makes them tick, kind of cool diversion about what people would expect -- 'Hey, let's sit down at the table and hear what these guys are talking about.' They're probably thinking about what kind of guitar strings or what kind of amplifier, something other than hot rods. But that's what started it, and...I think it'll be a good stimulus to carry us through this tour." The two acts will play 27 dates together through mid-August, though the first six were canceled due to ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill's kidney stone surgery. ZZ Top will stay on the road after the tour with Beck ends, with shows booked into early November so far.

Byline: MICHAEL MARLOW, with contributions from ARTHUR FRIEDMAN, New York and SARA GAY FORDEN, Milan
LOS ANGELES -- Gianni Versace has decided against showing his collection in New York.
"Right now, my heart is in Milan," the designer said from his home in Milan on Sunday. "It would be the wrong moment to abandon Milan, which, after all, is the city where I have my business, my home.
"When I was initially offered the chance to show in New York, I was very pleased," he explained. "It is a city I adore, and it was a difficult period in Italy," he noted, referring to Italy's corruption scandal that swept politics and industry. Versace, last April when he discussed possibly shifting his show to New York, was concerned about the speed in which knockoffs could hit the market following his Milan show. A show held weeks later under the tents in Bryant Park in New York could slow that down.
On Sunday, however, Versace said, "A lot has changed in Italy." He cited a new political climate following elections last spring and successful initiatives such as the Convivio AIDS benefit in June, where the Milan design community showed solidarity. He remains, however, "extremely involved in the United States," he said. Among his plans: a flagship store in Manhattan and a shop in Los Angeles.
In addition, he said, he intends to stage a show in the U.S. in the not-so-distant future for a benefit or possibly a perfume launch, but not to show his spring collection.
Santo Versace, Gianni's brother and ceo of the fashion house, confirmed talks for a five-level Versace flagship in Manhattan, housing all the designer's products, including men's and women's apparel, accessories, perfumes and home goods.
The ceo said he would not reveal the location until the contract has been signed. Last December, Ralph Paterno, owner of the two Versace stores on Madison Avenue, said a new store carrying all of Versace's products would open in Manhattan. At the time, reports focused on 841 Madison Ave., at 70th Street, as the site. Paterno said the new store would be an addition, not a replacement, to existing Versace units, but he did not disclose the location.
In Los Angeles, the company has signed a deal for a Versace Jeans Couture boutique to open on Rodeo Drive this fall.
Haresh Melwani, the Los Angeles-based retailer who operates the Gianni Versace and Versus stores in the Forum Shops in Las Vegas, will open an 8,000-square-foot store at 248 N. Rodeo Drive.
The two-level store will carry the Versace Jeans collection, Versace's housewares line and Istante, one of his secondary lines.
Melwani said the apparel mix in the store will be evenly split between women's and men's and will change based on demand.
He said the decision to open the store on Rodeo Drive came from his experience with the three Versace lines during the past 18 months in the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace.
"There's a lot of action in casualwear right now," Melwani said. "We've been very successful in Las Vegas and thought we could make it in Beverly Hills."
The new store fills one of Rodeo Drive's most visible vacancies -- the rotunda space in the Two Rodeo Drive center. The space, which is in the center of Via Rodeo, a brick walkway through Two Rodeo, has remained vacant since Two Rodeo opened in 1991.
It currently houses an art exhibit and once was home to the New Mercury Theater. Actor Matthew Modine, who was involved in the theater, had discussed leasing the rotunda full-time for the theater. Other concepts that were discussed for the space included a Japanese department store and a relocated Polo/Ralph Lauren shop.
Peggy Goodwin, marketing manager for Two Rodeo, said the younger consumer attracted by Versace Jeans will complement the customer mix of other established Two Rodeo stores such as Valentino, Christian Dior and Cartier.
Meanwhile, on the East Coast, Fern Mallis, executive director of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, producers of the 7th on Sixth fashion shows, said, "We were looking forward to working with [Versace], but we understand why he chose not to come." She cited the high cost of bringing the collection and staff from Milan.
Mallis said, as of Friday, the British firms Ghost and Liza Bruce are the only European companies on the New York show schedule, which will kick off on Saturday, Oct. 29, with DKNY and end on Friday, Nov. 4, with Donna Karan.
Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and four other European companies have "expressed interest" in showing, Mallis said. She declined to name the four, but said Giorgio Armani, who earlier this year hinted he might show in New York, was not one of them.
Last season, Prada, Ghost and Bruce were the lone European firms to show Bryant Park as part of 7th on Sixth.
"We have such a full schedule, it's going to be hard to accommodate too many other people," Mallis said.
The CFDA is committed to designers who will show their collections for the first time in a season in New York, not to those who show first in Europe and follow with a New York presentation.

The Enchanted Cave 2
Delve into a strange cave with a seemingly endless supply of treasure, strategically choos
4.35 / 5.00 32,804 ViewsGhostbusters B.I.P.
COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
4.08 / 5.00 11,402 ViewsINSTRUCTIONS: Click the "GRIND" button to, well, grind! Once you hit the required level on the sign, click the "KILL" button to defeat the boss!
YOU ARE THE FORMIDABLE KNIGHT KNOWN AS SIR PROTAG. COMING UPON A CASTLE STOCKED WITH EVIL MONSTERS, YOU KNOW BUT ONE PATH: A BLOODY ONE, CARVED THROUGH YOUR ENEMIES. But first? Some light grinding on your training dummy (by clicking endlessly) - don't want to get hurt now, do we?
This was a short (short? *evil chuckle*) game I made for F*ck This Jam. It's essentially a game that highlights how ridiculously stupid grinding can get in some RPGs. Massive props to whoever finishes the game manually.
NOTE: IF YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO CLICK A MILLION TIMES (fair enough) SIMPLY HIT LEFT & X ON YOUR KEYBOARD IN THE FOURTH BATTLE ONWARDS TO RECEIVE A HUGE LEVEL BOOST.
Thanks go to the following freesound.org peeps: ERH, DJ Chronos and FreqMan.
This is actually a new genre of game. Cookie Clicker and Clicker Heroes are insanely popular. It's stupid and I hate it.
I still don't know how to kill a person. I click everywhere on the screen but nothing happened. I was able to hit him once but after that I couldn't kill anything. I rated it 3 for the real point of the game and that cheat in level 4.
fun little game, but i found an odd bug. beat the game (get the 1m clicks) watch the end credits, and start a new game. you keep your 1m clicks, so killing the bosses is easy. if you use the cheat listed above, the "kill" button does not go away (even though you are 1 click short) if you then click the "kill" button, you launch your attack, and fail. even if you click to the right number, you do not get another chance to kill the boss. i know, really odd bug. i am not expecting this to be fixed, but just wanted to bring it up for future games. :) loved the music. good game all around.
Aha, both worthy of note.
The first bug is probably because when the game completes I've forgotten to reset the variable that tracks your level, so it carries on into the next game.
The second one I'll have to investigate.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, mitthar! :).
I like the boss music, but it would be cool if it was a terned-bass rpg,
You'd be surprised at what's in the works. ;).
I see what you did there. The minotaur is hilarious. It would be nice if the boss kill animation got better as the game went on.
Great idea!

Sludge can build up in the engine because Toyota did not recommend frequent enough oil changes. Lexus will sometimes offer a discount on cleaning the engine if necessary. Owners who changed their oil every 3,000 miles did not experience these problems. This sludge build up can lead to excessive oil consumption.

when I would accelerate hard getting on to the highway I would hear valve knocking. Also when I changed my oil it would be a little clumpy coming out. I did a little research and found that you can put seafoam in the crankcase. Read the bottle but I put like 4 ounces in the crank case and then changed my oil again in about 300 miles and I have no more sludge and no more knocking. I am getting slightly better mileage too. when I changed the oil after the seafoam the oil flowed well but it was really dirty for only having 300 miles on the oil change.

In Hebrew scripture men always get the exiting roles: leader, prophet, war hero. Convinced that women, too, need powerful stories that can inform them about who they are in relation to God, Nancy Werking Poling has imagined biblical men as women. A female Samson tells of the elders trying to take away her power; Nochat (Noah), who is trying to raise God-honoring children in violent times, rebukes God for destroying creation; Mosiah leads abused sisters to freedom; a female Jacob struggles with her capacity for deceit and destruction. Readers are sure to find inspiration in a creative approach to scripture that incorporates women's wisdom, suffering, and courage.

Very nice apartment really big , designed nicely in the good location and with the reasonable price , actually Central station can be reached by foot in 15-20 min , metro station Trone is 4-5 min by foot . Highly recommended - Anonymous
This is probably the most unique apartment I ever stayed in, as it has been decorated with a lot of taste. The owner, who has an artistic knack for designing small dollhouses, was extremely friendly and helpful. The apartment came with all the appliances and stuff you would have in your own flat. All in all a great experience. - Anonymous
The staff we dealt with throughout were really friendly and efficient. We arrived at the flat and that second were ushered in by a really friendly Finnish courier who delivered the keys. The flat had loads of space and lovely wood stair cases all the way up. We had nice views especially out the lesbroussart street side. The flat had ikea kitchens but with all mod cons. The location is fantastic near flagey great bars, Ixelles and town. - Anonymous
Casa Soussou is an excellent place to stay if you want a quiet, civilised base in the Brussels suburb of Ixelles, with lots of restaurants, cafes and a cinema in the surrounding streets, as well as buses and trams to other parts of Brussels. The house has 3 rooms and is reached through a garden, so it is well away from the street. The owner lives elsewhere so you have to make a rendezvous to get the key and pay; having sorted this out, I had the place to myself. - Anonymous
Very large room, very quiet, very reasonable price - Olivier

We left Agra bright and early to make our way to Jaipur. Before hitting up Jaipur, we got off our bus in Bassi to be transferred by Jeep to the village of Madhogarh.
The jeep ride was a trip as there were no doors
I have tasted all sorts of Indian food. I love when I ask a waiter what isn't spicy. I get 2-3 choices. Then I end up sharing food with my roommate and she usually orders something without asking
Upon waking up at 3am… seriously jetlag!? I starred at the ceiling for a few hours until I got in the shower to get ready for the start of a long day.
We began by taking the metro. The most interesting
A 14 hour flight, a spill of cold water on my lap and my arrival in Delhi is here!!
Wow, 10.5 hours ahead. I didn't know if I should nap or force myself to stay awake. The flight was an easy one. I had a 21 year old college girl whose dad was relocated to Delhi [...]
I sometimes forget how people come into our lives. I was sitting around the dinner table on Thanksgiving with complete strangers in a town I have never been in before. The only person I knew I had spent all of 4 days with in my entire life. Three of those days were spent in Barcelona, [...]
The entire evening was windy, rainy and freezing! I debated staying in bed vs. going for our morning walk into the Cloud Forest. Then I thought I don't want to miss the opportunity to see something new and amazing. Our pickup was at 7:30am. As it was rainy and absolutely freezing, I layered every article [...]
We left La Fortuna around 8:30am. We drove to Lake Arenal where we got on a boat. About 45 minutes later we packed onto 2 vans (as there are 17 of us including our guide). The roads to Monteverde are more like dirt roads, so to say the least…
I found out I am traveling with a professional traveler, a geneticist, an accountant, a biologist, an army doctor, and generally speaking – amazing and interesting people.
And we are off… I have tears in my eyes saying goodbye to Harvey Keitel. Yes. He is a dog, but as I previously mentioned, the love of my life.
As soon as I get in the NYC taxi, I get asked if I could pay cash. OYE. I took out cash for my time in [...]
It has been a year since my last international trip. It's about time I go somewhere!
A lot has happened over the past year, the good, the bad and recently, the very ugly.
Lion Encounter Walk in Livingstone, Zambia
River Cruise through Chobe National Park, Botswana
I left Zambia in the morning and headed to Johannesburg. I headed to this huge B&B about 15 minutes from the airport. Turns out I am the only guest. My host for the night was
I am one lucky girl! During my last game drive, I finally saw leopard! I wasn't sure it was going to happen, but it did. Here are my favorite photos of The Big Five. Enjoy!
Before Locke left, he introduced me to Eric. Eric is a local taxi driver who claims to have been a tour guide in his past career. Anyhow, as many of the activities I wanted to do weren't available due to the minimum # of people required – I hired Eric to take me around.
Wake up is at 6am for a 6:30am pickup. The tour is over but I still have another week ahead of me of selfish time. I decided to do a Lion Walk Encounter. Walking with the lions? Really – hell's yah!
Besides myself, there was a couple from Australia and a bloke from
Well, we crossed the border via foot (ferry) into Zambia from Botswana. It turns out there are trucks waiting up to 5 days to cross the border via ferry. If we kept our vehicle, we may have come across some problems, so we had a van waiting
We arrived in Kasane. Locke and I took a drive into town where I was able to pick up some more bug spray. Until this point, I am l am happy to report I only have 1 mosquito bite. I am starting to get itchy even though I shower most days. Between sporadic cold showers [...]
My new buddy from the lodge in Gweta invited me back to the school in the morning. I was excited by the invite so of course I took him up on it. We visited the headmaster to get permission for me to greet the children and ask them some questions. The difference from the day [...]
The last 2 days have been amazing! I woke up to find the open safari vehicle was waiting to take Locke and me to the Okavango Delta. He headed over some dirt roads until we got to our mokora boats. For the 2 of us, there were a total of
I spent the last 2 hours sitting around a fire starring at 1,000's of stars. I have never in my entire life seen so many stars. It was dark outside and the sky twinkled. It was a nice night. Getting here is another story.
We left Windhoek, Namibia
We left Etosha. I was sad to leave the beautiful watering hole where I found nothing but peace and quiet. I didn't get to see my rhinos yet, but I hear I will have plenty of opportunities the 2nd ½ of my trip.
We arrived in Windhoek to find
After driving a few hours, we arrived at Otjiwarongo. We headed to the one attraction in town – a crocodile farm. As we all know, I heart all lizards so this was awesome! They had areas for the adult crocs, the juniors and the babies.
We arrived in the early afternoon. I have an entire day and ½ free to do whatever I want in this 'Nazi' town. The entire town has German influence. I have never been to Germany, but apparently it has a strong resemblance with German restaurants, street names, etc… It even has shops with
Today was an awesome day! After one of the best home cooked meals of all time last night, we slept with no AC and survived as it was nice and cool out due to some rain.
Wake up was at 5:30am
Apparently, this is supposedly a very dry and rigid area of the world. I come and there is flooding for the first time in… according to Locke – the first time he has seen it. He is in his 40's.
One thing that I never experienced before in my life is
Around 4:30am my battery died in my phone which acts as my alarm clock. Oops. I ended up stretching on the river front around 6am. Breakfast was at 7am. Linda showed up very late
We started our drive from Lambert's Bay, South Africa around 9am. We stopped for lunch at 1pm. We finally got to the border crossing around 3pm. It was pretty smooth considering John
So I rode shotgun during our 5 hour drive from Cape Town to Lambert's Bay which is north up the coast. Our meeting time was supposed to be 8:30am. Lifeless Linda who was too good to stay at the lodge (I ended up with her single room for the night thanks to my brilliant tour [...]
A lot has happened over the past 2 days. I started my day yesterday wondering if I should go to Robben Island. After reading about it, I realized I should probably check it out; however I really wanted to go to the botanical gardens as I LOVE gardens! So my host convinced me as it [...]
After another long night of sleep, my host asked when I wanted to get moving. I asked for 30 minutes as I was completely off center. I threw my bathing suit on and 50 SPF. We headed to Camps Bay. My host dropped me off a little before noon. He said he would pick me [...]
After my amazing dinner, I headed to sleep. After some weird dreams, I woke up around 3am. Startled I stayed awake for another 2 hours before falling back to sleep. I haven't even started taking my
Its day 1.5 or what seems like day 4. I left my apartment in New York City on Thursday morning at 6:45am. South African airways suggest you arrive 3 hours early no matter what! OK then…
Now that this journey has ended, I can officially say, I am an expert on packing. If I decide to do something like this ever again, I know exactly
After leaving Siem Reap, I flew to Bangkok for one last night before my flight to Hong Kong. I simply relaxed by the pool and slept a lot while I was in Bangkok. The last tour wiped me out!
We arrived at 5:30am. There were hundreds of people standing around and waiting; waiting for the sun to rise over these mysterious temples. It happened slowly
It was one of the girl's birthdays on the tour. About 9 of us went out for dinner to a 'Westernized' restaurant. It was
After leaving Phnom Penh, we arrived in Siem Reap. The first stop was the floating villages. This is a huge and undesirable wake up call. The people who live in these villages simply bathe, swim, crap, wash plates, etc. in the same
We arrived in Phnom Penh. Just yesterday the news broke how over 300 people died in Phnom Penh at the end of a celebration that turned into a stampede. Today, the death toll was closer to
It was a moving and informative day. We arrived in Vientiane which is the capital of Laos. Our first stop was COPE which stands for Cooperative Orthotic
The drive from Luang Prabang was pretty rough as we were warned. On the way there, we stopped for some lunch overlooking some of the most beautiful views. I was green at this point
Luang Prabang is an interesting place. Some love it here; while others may find it a bit boring. I think it's a beautiful place with many nooks and
The day was overcast and chilly on the boat along the Mekong River. I utilized 2 blankets and snuggled up in a ball and pretty much napped the morning away. We stopped at a cave temple (Pak Ou Caves). Honestly, this was super
It was an early start as we were heading to cross the Thai/Laos border by boat. As some of our group was hung over and Dean has started to get lazy and doesn't want to become the bad guy, I definitely started
We drove from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. We checked into our hotel before heading to unique hill tribe villages. These were fascinating as I had never seen anything like it my
After a lovely sleep on the overnight train, we arrived in Chiang Mai. The good news is that we actually arrived on time! I guess this is the same story in all 3rd world
I am on my overnight train heading up North to Chiang Mai. The day was spent in 'touristville' in Bangkok. This included the Royal Palace and boat rides along the canal. It was hot
Ahhhh, sidewalks and streetlights finally! What a relief from Vietnam. The last few days flew by. As I was fighting getting sick, I took it easy for the most part. I enjoyed my beautiful
Vietnam is a phenomenal country. The landscapes and cities vary drastically. Starting in Ho Chi Minh City was a good look at an overcrowded city that was a bit

November is supposedly the end of rainy season; however some call it the wet season. I am confused. Supposedly it is supposed to rain for an hour or two in the afternoon and that's it
Even though I slept under a mosquito net and wore 100% DEET, I managed to get bit a bit too many times. Within 48 hours, I have discovered 8 bites in total. There is a girl on my trip from Colorado. She simply said, gee, I hope you don't get malaria. If she wasn't so [...]
I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City in the afternoon. I hop into a cab only to have a driver who thinks he can rip me off. I ask the airport security if the driver knows where
I am sitting on the largest bed in the entire universe right now. This would comfortably sleep 4 adults. I have never seen a bed so large. It reminds me of
I arrive at my hotel in Koh Samui. There are many hotels on this island. With the help of a friend (thanks RKY), I narrowed down staying in Chaweng Beach
Reality bites. I realize my last friend visiting me from home just left. I almost started to cry as she got into
One word: HOT. It was freakin super hot in Egypt. I know you aren't supposed to sweat so much in dry heat… but I schvitzed
I had some free time in the morning. I joined Jane and Andy, a lovely couple from the UK to see the Aswan Dam and Philae Temples/Island (can only get there by boat). The rest of the group woke up at 3am
I stopped counting after 39. It was time I gave up on trying to count how many times my taxi driver from the airport was going to honk
I arrive at my B&B in Istanbul. I get a room on the ground floor. As a New Yorker, I don't enjoy the ground floor
The main reason people come to Selcuk is to see Ephesus. Ephesus is known to be the commercial, the religious and the social center of antiquity. Well, the only thing that made this trip interesting
Ahhhh…I had a lovely day of serenity. I was with a group of about 12 people from all over. This was one of the 1st days where there was no one
Would you be surprised to know I sat patiently by the side of the road? My bus driver doesn't speak English or doesn't speak in general, so therefore I have no idea what the problem
So after a nice ending to Kas, I make my way to Fethiye. The public bus system is interesting in Turkey. The buses are like shuttle buses (not coach/not minivan). Even though they have destinations
So last night was unfortunate. My stomach slapped me for some reason or another. I drank a couple of liters of water… I decided to stay close to the hotel in the morning so I literally drank some
Getting sick when you are traveling is a terrible feeling, especially when you are alone. I started with a cold and fought the shit out of it. It caught up with me and I got worse
I arrived in Olympus after a very long overnight bus and a 2 hour transfer on a smaller local bus… I was staying at a bungalow/tree house place. I got a bungalow which is a small wood
Ok, so I have to tell everyone about my new friend – we'll call him C. C is 32 years old. He has been working since college. He took 'leave' from his job at
I am starting to feel like Smurfette. Day 2 in land formation whacky land, we started our day with a panoramic view of more weird rocks. I got the sensation of the grand canyon… kinda cool, but could have
I started to name my pet flies in my room. Even though the temperature drops to about 40 degrees at night, my room is a little oven. It is an oven with a bed

2 weeks in Italy was not enough time. I will have to make my way back to this lovely country one day and spend quality
The drive from Venice to Rome wasn't as bad as I initially thought. We arrived early afternoon and immediately started a walking tour of
Ahhhh… Venice. When I thought about Venice I have always thought romance! All I have to say after
We arrived at Lake Garda in the morning. We hopped on a boat that took us around for about an hour. It was
So it turns out there were no video cameras in our hotel in Florence. Turns out the guy who had his laptop stolen assumed it was our group as we were on the younger side.
One of the big driving days was upon us. We woke up bright and early to leave Sorrento to get to Florence. Besides the 7+ hours of driving, we made a lovely pit stop in the Chianti Region.
Turns out there are 50 people on my Contiki trip. Sounds overwhelming, but it isn't at all!

The UK immigration officers and politicians have been complicit in knowingly admitting as welfare refugees the worst third world scum of all sorts. These scum hog off the welfare system and spend their entire time plotting the downfall of the very country that had the misfortune of giving them a helping hand.
As for the USA, they provide all the protective cover to the wahabi thugs who fund all the global muslim religious zealots.
……. so what is the real agenda of these governments?
Being a Muslim woman, sometimes I feel ashamed that my co-coreligionists have no problem to support murderers and rapers. We have really become morally bankrupted Muslims, that's why we have no problem to support a killer.
The war crimes trials are utter disgraceful, the crimes has been committed by Pakistani generals. Why not implicate Pakistan? There are war criminals within the current government who directly given aid to the Pakistani Army during the killings, why not implicate them? Why after 40 years? The evidence is dubious.
What about the killers of the Muhkti Bahini, they killed anyone that spoke Urdu, are we going to see justice for those families?? Guess not as the Islamaphobes will block such justice, even though it WAS committed by muslims.
Civil war at a muslim country! Fault of Islam Civil war at a non muslim country! Fault of the human beings. They just need to get on.
All the comments are pathetic and Doulas Murray is a typical Islamaphobe.
If a secularist/non muslim commit crimes, its fine to all of you. If a muslim commits crime, then is death to muslims and Islam. Pathetic and hateful.
A community organiser has been sentenced to death in absentia by an internationally discredited kangaroo court. Yeah! lets score some ideological points and join the mob!
You'll be defending Hitler next. We all know that Mein Kampf is a best-seller with muslims in Turkey, Egypt, Bangaldesh, etc.
if you visit bangladesh, you are much more likely to see books of marx mister lovely face. The racist fascism that the people there are most burdened by today is the incumbent government whose agenda Douglas Murray is simply a useful idiot for.
Marx was another genocidal maniac. In fact, the communist regimes surpassed the Nazis in their mass-murdering.
Islam, Communism, Nazism. All the same thing. Genocidal, totalitarian, collectivist dogma.
The above story from the muslim-loving BBC is quite clear – it is Mein Kampf that muslims in Bangladesh are buying, not Das Kapital. Clearly it's the jew-hatred that draws them. After all, Mohammed's genocide was against the jews.
Please what a bunch of lies. Typical brainwashed neocon.
Mecca and Medina were multicultural – pagans and jews permitting Mohammed to proclaim his new religion. Once he had control, no more pagans in Mecca nor Jews in Medina. Totalitarianism. Genocide.
Go and read Ibn Ishaq, Tabari, Ibn Hisham. http://www.scribd.com/doc/27156626/The-Earliest-Biography-of-Muhammad-By-Ibn-Ishaq#outer_page_89
Unlike you lying muslims, I provide links for others to go and learn for themselves.
Well, no. Muhammed actually had to go to war with them. They certainly didn't "permit" him anything. And the early wars were mainly about survival, not the conquest that occurred after his death.
Also, you have to know something about Bangladesh to understand what the OP is talking about. You are just being an ignorant moron.
The court trials were a farce that were politically motivated to get rid of opposition party members on misleading/false charges. It's an internal political thing. It gets complicated.
Fugstar, internationally discredited is a credit to us, cause all western courts are more corrupt and kangaroo than ICT
'A historic catastrophe' is how Martin Bright describes it. He is referring to the policy by which successive governments in the UK, Conservative, Labour and coalition, are accused of having promoted the worst people into the positions of Muslim community leaders.
No, the historic catastrophe — and treachery — was the way in which successive governments allowed the United Kingdom to be colonized by adherents of a Third World religion. Martin Bright, like many others, has always been fully in favour of this immigration. Now that it's turning into a wholly predictable disaster, he's pretending it's the "policy" that was wrong. Does he seriously believe there was ever any chance of Muslims behaving well in the UK? If he does, why does he not support mass immigration by Muslims into Israel? Does he not want Israel's economy to boom and Israel's culture to be enriched?
When history combs over our civilisation it must be bewildered by this madness.
Depends who inherits the history from us, who writes it and who reads it.
Let me put it like this: Do you think Muslims in modern day Islamic countries are going through mental torture asking themselves how did their ancestors allow their lands to be conquered by Islam, how their people got killed and subjugated and got converted from their ancient faiths and beliefs into the followers of Mohammad and how did their language, dress and culture all got Arabised?
I doubt it. Their history was totally supplanted by Islam and they've grown up to despise their ancient un-Islamic beliefs and culture.
So it will be in the West.
So don't worry about that. I bet your friends at Quillaim will help you get over it.
Right on dot. Ihas happened amongst many peoples and countries.The "present" we love wil be briefly described as darkness .
"Depends who inherits the history from us, who writes it and who reads it."
Yep. The literati in the west won't even read the history of Mohammd's genocide and child-murder as written by Mohammed's fellow muslims.
If the pagans and the jews who were slaughtered had been able to leave behind their versions of his monstrous crimes, no doubt they would paint him as far more of a monster than do those who love Mohammed. The history of the rise of Islam is like the Nazis had won WW2, and all our history books were written by them.
BTW, I'm sure that Douglas Murray and Tommy Robinson are rightly sceptical about Quilliam.
I hope so, but I doubt it.
Here's another one – wanted for murder in Pakistan. Conservative councillor and guest at 10 Downing Street in the UK. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/10790036.David_Cameron_to__look_carefully__at_Pendle_councillor_meeting/
It is an absolute and utter disgrace that the Royal Marine Sergeant was prosecuted for finishing off a wounded Taliban whilst the British Estanlishment from Prince Tree Hugger Quisling down shamefully toadied this monster
"It should also prompt some soul-searching among those who have chosen to do business with these institutions over the years. These include a string of government ministers, Prince Charles, two London Mayors, Citizens UK, the interfaith movement and members of the Jewish community who argue for dialogue with the Islamists who dominate Muslim institutions in the UK."
As to Murray's implication that there really are all these moderates out there, this is a pious hope indeed, good luck with this Holy Grail – it has been utterly unavailing thus far
As to the absurdly wrong prosecution of the sergeant reports tell of how the fighting he was involved in was of a level savagery not seen since Burma 44-45
And who ever got prosecuted for finishing off a wounded member of the Imperial Japanese Army?
Maybe the Quisling Westminster Appeasers think that their show trial will impress Islamists with this display of "British values"; in fact they just come over as more weak and stupid and equivocating than ever; and of course totally disloyal and unsupportive to the lads they sent out to that hell-hole in the first place. Nothing new there of course
Remember the scene in "Full Metal Jacket"? Walk from away a gravely wounded enemy combatant, no worries. Finish him off and slammer time beckons.
More anti-British rubbish from this Japanese chap!
He is a convicted war criminal found guilty of mass murder.I couldn't give a hoot how high up in the UK's Muslim hierarchy he is. Get him on a plane to Bangladesh. The same as we in the west would expect had he been an Iraqi or Serbian wanted for war crimes
Precisely. Widening the issue for point scoring purposes doesn't really help (much as I'm sympathetic to many of the arguments). He should be put on a plane, or if his 'human rights' would be infringed by a possible death penalty, tried here.
One rule for Mohammed…
Douglas Murry. How can the British Government apologise for the Balfour Declaration from Palestine Post 6/11/13. Agreed upon by Baroness Jenny Tongue Jeremy Corbyn just to mention a few.! Surly we cannot change history, Or question What Lord Balfour had put in his Declaration.
I notice you aren`t covering that story of the Royal Marine convicted of the murder of an Afghan, Spectator. But then you seldom cover stories that paint the Army as brutal, licentious soldiery. Or indeed any story that shows the UK in a poor light. Jack, Japan Alps
Warfare. Another thing ruined by lawyers.
A nasty outbreak of peace. "I`ve supplied every army bar the Salvation Army"
Afghanistan should have been nuked before 9/11 ever happened. And Pakistan should have been taken out at the same time.
So how are those anger management classes going, Jimmy?
Anger has nothing to do with it. Emotion clouds judgement.
Ignore the obvious Internet Trolls.
"Licentious soldiery", for the British Army and Armed Forces—obviously a case of trolling.
No surprises here that a founder of the Jew-hating, terror-supporting Moslem Council of Britain is himself a mass murderer! is there no way that Islamist settlers can be deported back to their racist apartheid homelands of Bangladesh and Pakistan?
Yes change the law on citizenship and elect politicians who already have a pair.
This is a comical query on so many levels ☺
This is a comical query on so many levels
The 1971 war year was a terrible one for us Bangladeshis, and our official national mythologies have a peculiar habit of creating hate figures on the basis of rumour. That what has happened with these internationally discredited tribunals, an insult to the dead and the living and political ploy that exploits guilt, ignorance and pride.
Very few people would think it acceptable if this country hosted those accused or convicted of war crimes in the Balkans in the 1990s.
Hashim Thaçi? Ejup Ganić?
Se also Akhmed Zakayev and the late Abdulmalik Rigi.
When history combs over our civilisation it must be bewildered by this madness. Which is hardly surprising. We are living through it and it is hard enough to understand from here.
Presumably a reference to the treatment of Douglas Murray as anything remotely resembling a serious figure.
But, David, the former, Hashim Thaçi, doesn't live here, the latter was cleared by a London judge, the evidence against him came from newspaper articles. You think you know better than the man of law?
He was certainly "accused" (Murray's word) while he was here. It went to court. Let's say no more than that, if you like.
Murray, a couple of years younger than I am, ought to have been starting out as a commentator in the last few years, once he was quite sure what he thought and why.
Instead, still only his middle thirties, he is already a washed up relic of an age which now seems much longer ago than it was.
He must curse those who made him their poster boy a decade and more ago. At any rate, he should.
My son lives in Bedford. Not too far from where he lives there also stayed an ex Rwandan genocidaire. In this country legally.
Indeed so.
The apparent disbandment of the M23 rebellion by ethnic Tutsis in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo reminds us, or at rate ought to remind us, that we have been wrong about the sponsor of that rebellion, Tutsi-ruled Rwanda, for a very long time.
If anything, there really were two genocides in Rwanda. But "genocide" is a slipperier concept than you might think. In 1993, the former Bolivian President, García Meza Tejada, was convicted of "genocide" for the deaths of fully eight people. Those may or may not have been the only people whom he killed. But they were the only victims of his "genocide". And so to Rwanda.
Or, rather, to a kangaroo court in Tanzania, set up by a UN Security Council resolution with no authority to do so, and specifically empowered – again, on no proper authority whatever – to try only members of the former, devoutly Catholic regime, and not of that which overthrew it, namely a direct extension, by means of a Ugandan invasion of Rwanda in 1990, of the only-too-successful Maoist insurrection in Uganda. Thank God that no one is now to be sent from this country, historic refuge of the oppressed, to appear before that kangaroo court.
Théoneste Bagosora was finally convicted (well, of course he was – this sort of thing never, ever acquits anyone) eighteen months after the prosecution's final submission, and fully twelve years after his arrest, even though his trial had started almost immediately.
That was entirely typical, as is the use of European and American activists as "expert witnesses" even though they witnessed absolutely nothing and were in fact thousands of miles away at the time alleged. As is the heavy reliance on anonymous prosecution witnesses (even though it is in fact six defence witnesses before this "Tribunal" who have been murdered soon after giving evidence), universally known to be paid liars.
As is the routine holding of session in camera. As is the admission of hearsay evidence. As are the rulings that no corroboration is necessary to convict a man of rape even he has pleaded not guilty, and that it matters not one jot if a prosecution witness's written statement differs markedly from his testimony in court. As is the astonishing principle that a prosecution witness's inconsistencies are proof of trauma, and therefore of the guilt of the accused. And as are the farcical translation problems.
The remit of this "Tribunal" is frankly racist, providing only for the trial of Hutus, the overwhelmingly predominant ethnic group, for crimes against Tutsis, the historically royal and aristocratic minority. Crimes by Hutus against Tutsis undoubtedly happened. But so did crimes by Tutsis against Hutus.
Neither Maoist guerrillas nor embittered, dispossessed aristocrats are characteristically restrained in these matters. No one knows how many people were killed, often with machetes. The usual figure cited is eight hundred thousand. Perhaps that is correct. Perhaps it is not.
But what is undoubtedly the case is that not all the perpetrators were Hutus, although many were. What is undoubtedly the case is that not all the victims were Tutsis, although many were. What is undoubtedly the case is that no Tutsi has ever been tried, because none can be: that whole people has been declared innocent in advance, and another whole people declared guilty in advance.
What is undoubtedly the case is that an invasion of a sovereign state by a larger neighbour at exactly the same time as the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait has been backed up to the hilt by the West in general and the United States, so that the Americans are now where first the Germans and then the Belgians once were: running Rwanda through a tiny clique drawn exclusively from the Tutsi minority.
A clique, moreover, with a penchant for invading the Democratic Republic of the Congo and for sponsoring guerilla insurrections there, even if those insurrections do have some basis in the undeniable mistreatment of the Congolese Tutsi minority.
And what is undoubtedly the case is that that clique is Maoist, whereas the majority-derived government that it overthrew was headed by a daily communicant, Jean Kambanda, whom it subsequently tortured into confession while illegally detaining him, and whom it denied the lawyer of his choice.
That is why we gave Hook Hamza asylum, ditto Abu Qatada, in the mistaken belief that they will adopt our progressive liberal views, our enemy's enemy is our friend. Warsi stood for election twice- tory vote went down, cameron enobled her. Vaz all sorts of probs expenses etc for him-still there. Lord Ahmed labour- supports all sorts of odd chaps. We have some Sudanese fellow here in Cambs-liberal- Salah al Bandah, he condemned some female (she against Sharia Law here) from his country, her brother was beaten up-all swept under the carpet.
Our stupidity goes before us. How many of the Syrian refugees have been accepted by Saudi, UAE, Qatar etc nil, they don't want trouble makers but we are putting out the red carpet for them, just as we did for the Somalians.
"Our stupidity goes before us."
We have journalists and academics who have lied to the people for more than 30 years. It's no wonder that when Breivik decided to become the first anti-islam jihadi, his original plan was to blow up a conference full of journalists. Thinking he couldn't do that, he chose a group of teenage socialists instead.
40% of the British public think civil war is inevitable. I'll bet when that gets closer, journalists will be assassinated. Not by muslims then, but by the indigenous peoples.
"40% of the British public think civil war is inevitable."
Can you provide a link to this statistic?
"How is it that this country has ended up as a refuge for people embroiled in such trials?"
For the same reason that gangs of Pakistani men gang raped vulnerable young women in the north west of England and in Oxfordshire for ten years before anyone did anything about it – cultural sensitivities.
Political correctness, naivety, ignorance of the world and the people that inhabit it, all these things combined to create and maintain a society in which those who should know better are blind to the atrocities of those they treat as guests.
Come the Revolution, there a long list of people that need up against the wall and shot. The chance only comes by once every 400 years, so don`t waste it. Waste the traitors that dropped Britain in the $hit.
Stop trolling!
Ideology. Plain and simple. The utter abject madness of ideologies that have become the secular people's way of having something to cling to and believe in. The ideologue believes their cause is just and right but it narrows their mind, they in-fact become so blind that they will not stray from their dogma even in the face of evidence besmirching it.
Multiculturalism, cultural relativism, moral relativism, political correctness, cultural Marxism etc. etc. etc. a load of ready made rigid belief systems that has destroyed the scepticism and individualism once characteristic of the British. Weep for out culture and fading country. Ben Kelly@Iabimyshkin
Oh, good lord!
Being designated an oxymoronic "Moderate Muslim" is, seemingly and in this instance literally, a get-out-of-jail card.
And, of course, in any event, we must never, ever upset Muslims – they're quite touchy you know.
That's the true uselessness of the "moderate" vs. "extremist" classification. The more extreme some muslims are, the more that utterly vile muslims can claim to be "moderate".

I wouldn't be able to get a DeepSeaScale until the weekend. I have an electrizer as that guy asked. What do I get?
umm i'm sure i do not have much that you already have. Do you have a 3ds? I can give you something i got from the dream radar
I can't get you the previous starters, but I can get you some Black 2 exclusive. Don't really know what they are, so just let me know.
@Hardcore_Hector I'm pretty sure I have a couple of Deoxys on my Sapphire and Emerald, I could send one of those over for your Dratini? Did you want those shiny? Mine are normal, also, did you want Shiny or Normal Spiritomb? I just looked and you can get Spiritomb from the Dream Radar after you catch Landorus. That should make it easy for you to get one.
Where did you see you could get a Spiritomb on Dream Radar? As I was saying in my other post, I would probably want to trade my shiny dratini for a shiny eevee/umbreon or Spiritomb. Something I'd use. MAYBE Meloetta since I have all other legends in fifth gen.
Pink and Blue Orb Levels? WTF? What's the nature and levels and junk of that shiny spiritomb you have? Is it legit?
Oh. I thought you said you had a shiny and regular. I don't think I'd care if it was shiny or not. I think its rare ability is pretty cool compared to pressure, though.
Yeah, it is. Are you close to getting/already caught landorus on dream radar? That would make it easier to get a Spiritomb yourself
I already caught Landorus a long while back, but I haven't really used PDR since then. HA HA! I just tried it and got one, along with a Porygon and some other Pokemon.
How many dream orbs did you need to get before you find Landorus? I'm up around 2.5k orbs collected. Hoping it only needs like 3k to find it.
Sure no problem. I can let you borrow it for while to register it to your pokedex. As for Phione, I'm still thinking what pokemon should I get. I think shiny dratini can only be get with white 2 if I'm correct?
No, Shiny Dratini should be able to work on all Gen 5 games, but I want to trade it for something I'm really going to use. Trade 10-15? To yourself?
No. What I meant was, shiny dratini can only be get by defeating white treehollow which is the counterpart of black tower in black 2. Yeah. If it is too much, maybe 10 is enough.
Oh. Then yes. Shiny Dratini can only be obtained in White 2. Shiny Gible is only Black 2. Well I'll have to catch some extra Pokemon I guess.
Looking for a ditto with the "imposter" ability. Have tons of shinys / legendaries / ev trained I will trade for it.
Yeah, alright. I can get both. Riolu make take some time, but I can breed my Electross. I'll get on that tomorrow.
Are you willing to trade one of the Deoxys? It would have to be legit if its on a gba game right? I do have some 5th gen legendaries I would be willing to trade.
Here's mine: 1893-8984-0213 I just noticed that I have a Snivy. Do you still want it? I'm planning to breed it if you want one. Planning for a snivy = tynamo.
Here's my fc for black. 4900 3249 0446 Snivy = Tynamo Tepig = Riolu I'm going now to the room. EDIT: I'm going to change my game dude. Unto my black 2
Is that on black/white 2? You can catch the 3 elemental monkeys in Lostlorn Forest from shaking grass. I found heaps of pansears on my black 2 while trying to catch Leavanny.
Looking to get my hands on Lilligent, Pinsir and Budew if anybody has them. I can trade eggs of any starter from any gen.
I have Ghastly, Duskull, and Porygon evolution from fifth gen. I think I would like two Modest Eevees. Maybe a Snorunt...
Meh, id rather get snorunt. I actually have some modest espeon, so actually I can breed. I don't know what else I want. Do you have an adamant sneasel
Got a Budew from the GTS. Still looking for Pinsir and Lilligent. Or Pinsir and a Shiny Stone. Let me know what your after and I'll see if I can get it.

App Description
WINNER: Best Travel App in Africa (competition sponsored by Visa and South African Tourism).Africa: Live helps you share real-time African animal sightings on your iPhone or iPad.
Our live game sightings map shows you what animals are near you right now and allows you to easily and immediately share your sightings with other safari-goers or anyone "watching" the map around the world, as well as for use in conservation research.
Africa is big, animals are relatively small and have got pretty good at hiding. Evolution has taken care of that. Our Africa: Live map shows you the most recent game sightings that have been reported in the last 24 hours by other safari-goers and professional guides via social media or added to the map directly. It helps you get the most out of your safari by increasing the chances of finding those animals you are most interested in. You can easily add your own sightings and photos directly and immediately to the map.
Within the app you can purchase detailed offline maps of the major parks in South Africa including: Kruger, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, Pilanesberg, Addo, Kgalagadi, Madikwe, Marakele, iSimangaliso, Tembe, Ndumo, Ithala, Gondwana and uMkhuze. These maps include 10,000KMs of tar, dirt and 4X4 trails, footpaths, waterholes, hides, viewpoints, picnic spots, gates and other points of interest.
The app also includes extensive reference material such as an safari animal field guide, gate opening times and park contact details.
- The ONLY live map of Africa showing your location and the location of recent sightings.
- Clickable, colour-coded markers showing sighting details, descriptions and a photo.
- One-touch to add a sighting to the map yourself, including uploading your own photo. NOTE: because of poaching issues, RHINO SIGHTINGS WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE MAP.
- Detailed offline maps of major parks in South Africa (note: this is an in-app purchase and is not free).
- Search for sightings by how recent and which species.
- Live text stream of the most recent sightings.
- Extensive reference material, photos and interesting facts on the animals you're likely to see on safari.
- Dynamic Q&A. If you're not sure what it is you're looking at, or what it is doing just ask us via the map and we'll answer (or if we can't, our Facebook friends will!).
- Safari tips, contact details and lots more useful information.
- Contribute to our citizen-scientist research database: we catalogue, analyse and will share sightings data with conservation bodies to support wildlife audits.
Please note:
- A desktop version of the map can be viewed www.wildafricalive.com. However performance of the desktop version of this map will be highly limited on a mobile device.
- The map and live stream require phone network coverage to be updated, although sightings can now be recorded with no phone network using the offline maps. These will automatically be uploaded later.

I've heard about the benefits of water aerobics for obese people, and am going to give it a try. Does anyone else do this on a regular basis? What do you like best about it?
100 lb. Club - water aerobicsView Full Version : water aerobics better health3 08-20-2007, 02:36 PM I've heard about the benefits of water aerobics for obese people, and am going to give it a try. Does anyone else do this on a regular basis? What do you like best about it? Bobbie Wickham 08-20-2007, 02:51 PM I don't do it regularly because the times it is offered at my gym just don't gibe with my work schedule, though I wish it did because I enjoyed doing them (even if I felt at times it was the geriatric crowd and me). My favorite thing? Because of the water, I felt really graceful--much more so than when I feel like an elephant stomping around at a regular dry land aerobics class. Robin41 08-20-2007, 03:07 PM I'm curious as well. It always looks to me like it's not going to burn any calories. I wonder if instructors take it easy on classes because there are so many older people who do it? Eves 08-20-2007, 03:08 PM My parents do this, yesterday I went with them. It was fun, although I was the youngest person there by about 30 years. It's good exercise for them since they are older (73 and 78 respectively) and their joints hurt sometimes. For me, it wasn't a great workout, but if I was just starting out or had joint problems it would be worth it. I also like the water best. It felt great. I realized that I need to swim more. I tried doing laps, and although I can now run a mile I can barely swim a lap in an Olympic size pool :(. Good luck! shananigans 08-20-2007, 03:13 PM I've taken different water fitness classes over the years, and they vary greatly in intensity and difficulty. The ones I took in college at the student fitness center were hard! The ones I took more recently at the YMCA I used to belong to were much more laid back (with an older/heavier crowd) but I could still get a half way decent workout by putting a little extra effort in. Like running, swimming or any other form of cardio you can push harder/faster to make the same movements more challenging and burn more calories. I would give it a try, it can be a fun group activity. Sheila53 08-20-2007, 03:18 PM My DH does it fairly regularly, and I used to do it more often before I started running. It's very good for people who might have joint issues. My opinion is that you get out what you put into it. There are people in the class who just kind of float around, and then there are people who really try to perform at a higher cardio level. We have one instructor who makes everyone work extremely hard (she loves intervals!), and we're really huffing and puffing. Don't think that because your heart rate doesn't go up as much (it has to do with the water pressure), that you're not getting a good workout IF you're really working at it. Make all your movements big and try to go as fast as you can. I, too, like the feeling of being more graceful in the water--I feel strong, long, and lean. :) Lifeguard 08-20-2007, 03:22 PM It can be a great workout - but you need to make it so. More so than on land it is possibly to not get a workout by not pushing yourself. Remember to keep your core engaged throughout. Follow the instructors cues as to which muscles you should be used. If you're not feeling it push yourself harder. An open hand is going to give more resistance than slicing your hand through the water. Going faster will make it more difficult than going slowly. Good luck with it! Sandi 08-20-2007, 03:29 PM I do water aerobics twice a week. And like everyone has said - you get out of it what you give. You can coast through it or really work hard. hidingtazz 08-20-2007, 04:05 PM I'm going to a class at the local University tomorrow. :carrot: pigginpodgey 08-20-2007, 04:13 PM The class I go to is actually got a really mixed group age wise, i think its great the instructor really kicks your butt - it tones you up to because your working against your resistance and the water, i would reccomend !! I also like it because i dont get all sweaty, but nice pink cheeks only!! traci in training 08-20-2007, 05:42 PM I'm with everyone who says you feel young - but it is a fun thing. I definitely wouldn't count it as a full day's exercise like you would walking or running for an hour, but it is an enjoyable activity. I have a friend I go with sometimes in the winter - just to break up the routine. We bounce through all the standing exercises to get our heart rates up and then just enjoy the time in the water. It's definitely a good thing if you've got sore muscles or joints - it just doesn't wear on you like "normal" exercise does. And the "older" ladies get a huge boost in self-esteem because they're better at the moves than we are. They start clucking as soon as they see us coming. It's a blast! dek6 08-20-2007, 05:50 PM I have done deeps water aerobics and I love it. I am actually going to start doing it again. It is awesome because you dont feel like you are doing anything but the next day I hurt like I lifted weights for like 5 hours (not really that bad, but you get the point). I love it. And it is good because it doesnt put as much strain on the joints. royalsfan1 08-20-2007, 09:37 PM I've been going for about 2 weeks. One instructor keeps me huffing and my heart pounding...the other instructor is much easier and I have to keep reminding myself to pick up the pace. My favorite thing about it is if I start to sweat I just dunk myself and feel about a thousand times better. (I hate to sweat) :) FresnoBeeDude 08-20-2007, 10:07 PM I started doing water aerobics 2 months ago a my YMCA. I enjoy it, it is "fun", but I am definitely pushing myself harder then the the rest (we walk/jog/hop/etc in circles sometimes, and I have to go out of the circle, because I am at a faster pace). Before class I attempt to swim 2 months ago FORGET it!. I hadn't worn swimming trunks in 25 yrs, I had forgotten how to simply float. I re-taught myself, then started to do a backstroke, eventually getting the courage up to do a regular swim. I will do 2 laps before class, and try for more. I can walk a 6.5 mile walk on Sundays, but heaven forbid if I could make it to the end of an Olympic Sized pool!!! I enjoy the water aerobics, but I prefer the gym aerobics (I do those as well). I measure my progress in sweat, something you see ZERO of in the pool Sandi 08-20-2007, 11:52 PM I definitely wouldn't count it as a full day's exercise like you would walking or running for an hour I think I disagree. If you are pushing yourself hard, it's quite a workout. At this point in the game, I couldn't walk for an hour. So to do 45 min of water aerobics for me is great. And I really enjoy it, so I actually do it and that counts for ALOT. BattleAx 08-20-2007, 11:59 PM I took water aerobics about 10 years ago. That particular class was very challenging, and I had a hard time keeping up. I was in pretty good shape at the time, too. I think it's all about the instructor. LaurieDawn 08-21-2007, 12:08 PM I swim and run regularly, but I sometimes want to mix it up, and I will do the elliptical, biking, or water aerobics to give me variety. The first time I did the water aerobics, I tried to push myself beyond what the instructor required, and was really surprised when I was sore the next day. It was actually really good for me, as I started pushing myself harder when I swim so that I could enjoy that feeling I used to get when it was so much more challenging for me. xFLUFFYx 08-23-2007, 11:28 AM I found this post yesterday (somehow missed it before). I just discovered my love of swimming 3 days ago. The past two days I have been swimming a mile (12 lengths of the pool) each day and I plan on going again around 10am today too. Firstly, I think, for me anyways, anything that you enjoy doing that gets your butt off the couch and makes you move..is a GREAT workout regardless of how much your sweating or how many calories you may be burning. In saying this, I checked into the water Aerobics classes at the other base pool I will be going to next month (the one I use now will be closing for the season)...and YES!! they have both shallow end water aerobics and Hydrofit (deep end) aerobics..so I am definetly going to sign up for them and give it a shot. royalsfan1 08-23-2007, 11:55 AM Wow, fluff! A mile is great! I found out the the pool at the Y where I swim is only 25 meters which means a mile is 64 lengths!! I've worked up to 16! hahahah xFLUFFYx 08-23-2007, 12:57 PM Crapppp....can u hear me cursing lol... I just got off the phone with the gym/pool and the pool I have been swimming in is 50 meters in length. I have been swimming 12 lengths...which is NOT a mile :( (when I see that lifegaurd who said it was..he will feel my wrath lmao)....BUT...the GOOD news is...there are 1609 meters in a mile...which equals 32 lengths x 50 meters (50 meters equals one length). Right now I have been doing 12 lengths...or approx 1/3 mile....so its on....1 mile..here I come!! Geeeezzz...when I first read your reply..I sunk very low in my chair but now I am just more determined to accomplish a mile.....(grabbing my floaties...I'm off to the pool.) xFLUFFYx 08-23-2007, 01:00 PM I better invest in some good goggles too lol. LaurieDawn 08-23-2007, 03:45 PM Actually, Fluffy, I'm quite glad you made that error. My pool lengths are the same as Tricia's, only I thought that I had to do 70 lengths in order to reach a mile. So, when I read that you were doing a mile on the day that you started, I thought that if you could do it so quickly, I should be able to do it after swimming almost daily for three months. So, yesterday, I swam 71 lengths (front crawl, no less!), and I felt amazing (and exhausted)! A little competition kicks me in the butt every time, and the scale this morning confirmed that my effort was worth it. So - thanks for the push, even if it may have been accidental. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Some photos from my vacation in belek, turkey. Revueflex AC2 with an 35 years old agfapan 25. I used an yellow filter to get more contrast, maybe this was not the best decission.
