Monday 15 February 2016. Welcome to Egypt and the start of your holiday! Upon arrival at Cairo airport you will be met and transferred to your hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to spend at your own leisure.
Overnight: Cairo
Today we visit the legendary pyramids and the iconic Sphinx at Giza Plateau. Sole survivors from the ancient Greek-listed Seven Wonders of the World, the pyramids are the planet's oldest tourist attraction. Leaving the pyramids behind, we visit a government supervised papyrus emporium where you can buy genuine papyrus at quite reasonable prices.
Continuing to the necropolis of Saqqara, we can explore the myriad tombs and temples at this site and see Zhoser's step pyramid - constructed by Imhotep, the pharaoh's chief architect in 2700 BC.
Overnight: Cairo | Breakfast
Cairo - Luxor. Today we embark on a guided tour of the Egyptian Museum. A mind-boggling array of relics and antiquities from almost every period of ancient Egyptian history are housed in the museum, making it one of the foremost in the world. Arguably the most famous exhibit is the solid gold funerary mask of King Tutankhamen. Opt to see also the Royal Mummies, if you wish.
This evening we board an overnight sleeper cabin train, travelling south to Luxor with a light dinner included. If your don't fancy travelling by overnight sleeper train, opt to undertake the journey by flight with our Jewel of the Nile Flight Upgrade. The option includes air travel between Cairo - Luxor and Aswan - Cairo with two nights accommodation in the comfort of 5 star hotels.
Overnight: Sleeper train | Breakfast, Dinner
Luxor - Nile Cruiser. Arriving into Luxor early this morning we embark on a guided tour of the West Bank, home to the legendary Valley of the Kings. The massive pair of statues known as the Colossi of Memnon are the first monuments we see here before continuing into the vast necropolis the region is famed for. We also pay a visit to the colonnaded Temple of Queen Hatshepsut before returning to Luxor for check-in on our Nile 5 star cruiser. Enjoy a leisurely lunch on board and time to relax until our early evening visit to the Temple of Luxor. Beautifully illuminated against the night sky, this after dark experience offers a different perspective of ancient Egypt's incredible temples.
Overnight: Nile Cruising | Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Nile Cruiser. Take flight over Luxor with an optional hot air balloon ride early on the morning of day 5 before heading to the magnificent Temple of Karnak. More than a temple, Karnak is a spectacular complex of sanctuaries, pylons, statuettes and obelisks. Built on a grand scale, Karnak is probably Egypt's finest ancient temple. Later in the afternoon we begin our cruise down the Nile to Esna for a stop at the Temple of Horus at Edfu.
The following day we visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, a unique riverside temple. What is unusual about Kom Ombo, is that everything architecturally is doubled and perfectly symmetrical along the main axis of the temple including twin halls, courts, colonnades, sanctuaries and entrances. This evening we arrive in Aswan, a prosperous town at the crossroads of the ancient caravan routes.
Overnight: Nile Cruising | Breakfast x 2, Lunch x 2, Dinner x 2
Nile Cruiser. Today we visit the mighty High Dam – a modern feat of engineering, which resulted in the creation of the world's largest artificial lake, Lake Nasser. Later we enjoy a leisurely boat trip to picturesque Agilika Island where we have a guided tour of Philae Temple - dedicated to the goddess Isis. In the early hours of the morning we take a bus journey south to the Temples of Abu Simbel, arriving well before sunrise.
Overnight: Nile Cruiser/Bus to Abu Simbel | Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Monday 22 Feb 2016. Abu Simbel – Aswan - Cairo. Twice a year an incredible phenomenon occurs at the awe-inspiring temples of Abu Simbel, in an event that has become known as the Sun Festival of King Ramses II. The great Sun Temple of King Ramses II at Abu Simbel was constructed between 1290 and 1224 BC to revere the mighty pharaoh himself. Ramses II had the entire temple complex carefully angled so that the sun's rays would align only twice a year on the date of his ascension to the throne (21 February) and his birthday (21 October) to illuminate the inner sanctum of the temple. In 1972 the temple was famously re-located further up from the shoreline of Lake Nasser, which had threatened to erode its foundations. As a result of it being moved the sun now strikes a day later than Ramses had originally planned, though the event itself is still amazing.
Crowds assemble in the temple before sunrise and watch the shafts of light slowly creep through the inner Hypostyle Hall and through to the Sanctuary. Significantly, the sun illuminates statues of Amun-Re, Re-Herakhte and Ramses the god, whilst the statue of Ptah - the god of darkness, remains in the shadows.
After we watch this incredible event unfold we return to Aswan. Here we'll have day use rooms at a hotel so we can use the facilities and relax before we board the overnight train for our journey back to Cairo. Enjoy a light dinner in the comfort of your sleeper cabin.
Overnight: Sleeper Train | Breakfast
This morning have breakfast in your train cabin and upon arrival into Cairo we transfer to the hotel and check in. Today is free for you to enjoy the hotel facilities or explore Cairo independently. Perhaps head to Khan el-Khalili bazaar and pick up a few souvenirs or join our optional Cairo city tour which is available to book locally.
Overnight: Cairo | Breakfast
Wednesday 24 February 2016. Our tour comes to an end today. Hotel check out and included transfer to the airport.

Sitting on the banks of the River Nile, the Fairmont Nile City, is a modern luxury hotel. Guest room have a contemporary design focussing on an Art Deco theme. Rooms in the higher floors boast a marvellous view of Cairo. The world class spa is well worth a visit and the spectacular roof top restaurant gives guests a fantastic view of the Nile and the famous pyramids. Fairmont Nile City is situated on the banks of the Nile River in downtown Cairo.
We have just returned from the "Ramses Sunrise Festival-Jewel of the Nile" tour and couldn't be happier we picked this tour company. We arrived in Cairo from Amman, Jordan having finished their "Passage to Petra" tour (Jordan is awesome and everything is planned so well). Met at the airport, through visa and customs and off to our hotel in Giza with a stop for photos of the Nile River. Views of the Pyramids from our room and our guide Mohamed was so informative and personable. Unfortunately because of the negative media about the region, we (my wife and I) were the only members of the tour. This did not deter Mohamed from showing us all the important points of interest. If only more people would turn off their TV's and just come to Egypt. After our tour of the museum, "Kiro" from Cairo whisked us off to our overnight train to Luxor where we met up with one of the nicest and most informative guides we have met, Aamer. From now on whenever we see hieroglyphics we will think of Aamer. Luxor, Aswan and all the sights (including the 4 night cruise) passed quickly as we enjoyed the most memorable vacation of our lives. The sunrise festival was a sight to behold and made even more memorable by Aamer's wonderful byplay of information and friendship. If you can find the time to go to Jordan or Egypt, do yourself a favor and book with this company. In Jordan ask for Ogla - absolutely great guide. In Egypt ask for Mohamed in Cairo and definitely Aamer in Luxor. These guides and your tour company made this our trip of a lifetime. What a fantastic adventure!!!"
The wealth of knowledge of our guide made this special holiday even better. Absolutely fantastic!"
Hi Ryan,
I am back from Egypt after the Ramses Sunrise tour and I wish to thank On the Go for a wonderful holiday. I enjoyed myself immensely and had the time of my life. Everything was very well organized and the 5 star hotels as well as the cruise ship met all my expectations. Very nice group of people and I had a great time.
Thanks once again for the perfect holiday. "
Prices shown are per person travelling. 'Twin/Double' prices per person apply when there are 2 people travelling, sharing a room. The 'Single supplement' applies for single travellers who require their own room and needs to be added to the 'Twin/Double' price. If you are happy to be paired up with another single traveller of the same sex on your tour, this can be arranged, thus avoiding the single person supplement.
The wealth of knowledge of our guide made this special holiday even better. Absolutely fantastic!"

Americans Who Tell The Truth at Holderness School
HOLDERNESS — Robert Shetterly will be present at an Edwards Art Gallery event on September 25th as part of the gallery's autumn show, featuring selections from Robert Shetterly's award-winning portrait series. The artist will also be present on campus on the 26th to conduct small group discussions and workshops with faculty, students and community members. The show officially opens on September 12th.
The portraits, chosen by members of the Holderness community, showcase citizens who courageously address issues of social, environmental, and economic fairness. Among the many portraits featured will be Edward Snowden, Woodie Guthrie, Rachel Carson, and Malcom X. By combining art and other media, "Americans Who Tell The Truth" offers resources to inspire a new generation of engaged Americans who will act for the common good, our communities, and the earth. In hosting the show Holderness School hopes to foster civil, informative, and spirited discussion about the important issues of our time.
The Edward Arts Gallery hosts three shows a year – two by nationally recognized artists who often come to campus to speak and host workshops with children – and a third featuring the works of Holderness students and alumni. The gallery, as a result of its longstanding relationship with the Pucker Gallery in Boston, often features world-class ceramicists and decorative arts practitioners. The Shetterly show is an exciting new addition to the gallery's growing list of diverse exhibitions.
Since 1990, Shetterly has been the president of the Union of Maine Visual Artists (UMVA), and a producer of the UMVA's Maine Masters Project, an on-going series of video documentaries about Maine artists. His awards and commendations include: the Maine People's Alliance Rising Tide award; a Distinguished Achievement Award from the University of Southern Maine; a Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellowship; and an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the University of Maine.

Every Third Bite of Food is Provided by Pollinators
LACONIA — Campers of the Opechee Day Camp, a program of the City of Laconia Parks and Recreation Department, recently participated in a special program on 'The Importance of Pollinators' provided by the Belknap County Conservation District (BCCD). The program, funded with grants from the Opechee Garden Club and NH Fish and Game, saw Day Campers participate in hands-on activities highlighting the importance of healthy soil, landscaping to attract and support pollinators, and establishing an awareness of the link between the food on our tables and pollinators.
'Do a quick web search on the word pollinators (bees of many types, insects, butterflies and moths, birds, bats, and other animals) and you'll find no shortage of articles and educational materials crafted to get the word out on the importance of these creatures, bees in particular, and why our lives depend on them 'says Lisa Morin, BCCD Program Coordinator. At least one third of the world's agricultural crops depend on pollination, as well as many plant-derived medicines. Globally, eighty percent of all plant species rely on pollinators to stimulate reproduction. In the USA, honeybees are the most common pollinator and are responsible for generating 20 billion dollars worth of produce and crops on an annual basis. The second most common pollinator is the Bumble Bee.
Unfortunately bees, the workhorse in food production, are dying in large numbers. Human activity, the use of chemicals such as neonicotinoid pesticides (related to nicotine), and environmental stresses seemingly are the culprits responsible for the loss of these vital insects.
One way we can support pollinators is to provide food and shelter for them right in our own backyards and public spaces. It is suggested when you plant for landscaping or gardens that you use a large variety of native plant species, and to plant them in clumps rather than individual plants scattered around your property.
Native plant species, those naturally occurring in our area such as New England Aster and Columbine, are preferred because some modern hybrid species have had the ability to make pollen and nectar bred out of them, and native species are less likely to become invasive or require pesticides. For more information on plant species native to New Hampshire visit website www.plantnative.org or see the website for the Xerces Society at http://www.xerces.org/providing-wildflowers-for-pollinators/. To read more about what is being done in New Hampshire to help pollinators visit the UNH Cooperative Extension website at http://extension.unh.edu/Saving-Bees , or contact the Belknap County Conservation District (BCCD) at telephone number (603) 527-5880. 'Bee' on the lookout for more information on BCCD's local projects to support pollinators.

"Twist 'n Shot"* cups are designed to make it easier to remove Jello from a cup when making shots. A small lip of plastic rests inside, dislodging the gelatin when turned. You can get a twenty pack for $14 plus shipping, or buy in lots of 60 or 200. (Let's call those the "Frat Packs.")

No trailing italics make Web site go craaaazay!
Also, my captcha isn't loading after I preview. D:
The very fact that these are re-usable sells it for me; clawing the shots out of the bottom of a dentist-sized dixie cup was what always killed it for me.
Also: I imagine much livelier party games with rows of little jello obelisks on baking sheets and hands held behind backs.
The lack of a trailing apostrophe makes me curl up in a ball on the floor, twitching.
How annoying… nowhere on the website does it actually specify the volume of these cups. I'd guess 3 oz, but you'd think they would actually state this somewhere.
They actually hold 2 oz. – I'm using a batch of them right now.
Brilliant idea! I'm sure these will also make for good conversation, along with getting plastered without getting sticky fingers.

This is my first ever pair of Dr Martens shoes and I must say they are incredibly well made and really good looking. I have quite wide feet across the top of the toes but these shoes have plenty of width. I've only worn them a couple of times and they are already softening nicely. Only negative point would be the price (£70), a bit pricey but seems increasingly the case forwell designed, well made shoes these days. Overall a good shoe.Size Rated As:

- William Simmonds14/08/2014
Nice pair of shoes! I really like the colour and design and they look like they are well made and should last a while. The only thing I perhaps don't like is that they are quite 'shallow', so my heel slips out just slightly.
- Greg Holdridge10/08/2014

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Surya Restaurant Raw
by anarchistanimal
Review: A lovely vegan restaurant in Warsaw. There are cooked options but you should really try their amazing raw creations. I went twice and tried the raw hamburger and the raw lasagne. Both were delicious! I also had some raw cheesecake and raw chocolate mousse - divine. Committed raw foodists and sceptical cooked vegans alike will be delighted. The people are super friendly and happy to help in English. I was worried that eating raw food when it's -11 degrees outside wouldn't be great, but I felt great afterwards! The restaurant itself is also in an interesting converted basement. Highly recommended.

the emergence of gay rights: a sociological perspective
On Friday, the Supreme Court rules that marriage should be available straight and gay couples in all 50 states. This represents the most important policy victory so far of the gay rights movement. How did it get there? Future scholars will no doubt write extensively on this issue, but it helps to start with political science 101: social change starts with the median voter. Courts, in general, do not create rights. Rather, courts tend to codify and formalize the political rights that people are already willing to accept.
The graph is taken from an article in the Gallup web site and it drives home this point about public opinion. Somewhere around 2011, the public tipped in favor of gay rights. Not surprisingly, courts and states became more likely to support gay rights after this point. The question is, why did public opinion tip? When I think about this question, I often start with the "repetition hypothesis" – repeat your point enough and your previously weird idea will become normal (i.e., you shift from non-doxa to doxa, for you Bourdieu nuts). Dorf and Tarrow discuss how gay rights groups thought about this process in this Law and Social Inquiry article. Basically, they anticipated conservative push back to their views on gay marriage and crafted their appeals with that in mind.
Bottom line: Lawyers and Supreme Courts are the end game. The battle is won and lost in the arena of public opinion.

This might literally be the oldest trick in the book. I'm thinking powerful people have been doing this to protesters and activists since the days when getting gored by a mammoth was a leading cause of death. It plays out like this:
A) A certain group has a complaint — they're being discriminated against, had their benefits cut, whatever — but they are not the majority.
B) Because the majority is not affected, they are largely ignorant and uninterested in what is going on with the complainers. The news media does not cover their issue, because it's bad for ratings.
C) To get the majority's attention, the group with the complaint will gather in large numbers to chant and block traffic, etc. This forces the media to cover the demonstration (since huge, loud groups of people make for good photos and video) and cover the issue in the process (since part of covering the protest involves explaining what is being protested). In America we've seen this tactic used by everyone from impoverished war veterans, to women seeking the right to vote, to the protests about police violence you're seeing all over the news right now.
D) To counter this, all you need to do is simply wait for a member of the activist group — any member — to commit a crime. Then the media will focus on the crime, because riots and broken glass make for even more exciting photos and videos than the demonstrations. The majority — who fears crime and instability above all else — will then hopefully associate the movement with violence from then on.
Convince The Powerful Majority That They're The Oppressed Ones… Last year a billionaire investor said criticism of the rich today is equivalent to the persecution of the Jews during the Holocaust. He's not having a stroke; he's under the influence of one of the most powerful techniques the system has in its arsenal. To get the majority to ignore complaints by any disadvantaged group, you simply insist that disadvantaged group has the real power and that the powerful majority is thus the underdog.

protest matters, but it's complicated
Over at Aeon Magazine, I have a short article on the question of whether protest works. Discussion of Gamson '75 and more. A short clip:
Protest seems to be most effective when it is coupled with two things. First, there often needs to be an organized side of the movement. Movements succeed when some leader, or organization, appears who can help rally support, collect money, and make connections with insiders. While protest may jump start the process of social change, it still needs to be directed through institutions such as legislatures, courts, the educational system, and the for-profit sector. Outsiders need insiders, leadership makes the connection. Second, movements that succeed often have clearly stated goals that are consistent with our broader culture. There is a reason for the Civil Rights Movement's success. The Civil Rights leadership worked tirelessly to connect Black equality with our Constitution and the desire to be a nation of free people. Thus, protest matters, but it has to work with other strategies and be suited to the problem.

book review: fighting for peace by lisa leitz
The recent Political Science Quarterly carries my book review of Lisa Leitz' Fighting for Peace: Fighting for Peace: Veterans and Military Families in the Anti-Iraq War Movement. My choice quote:
As a study of social psychology, Fighting for Peace is a strong contribution to the ever-growing literature on activist identity and biography. It is a fitting addition to the scholarly work stemming from James M. Jasper's The Art of Moral Protest, which explains how life events can lead people into activism. But there is a broader, more subtle lesson that can be drawn from this study. Many of the veterans and military family members joined protest movements because they felt that the deployment of the U.S. armed forces violated an important but unwritten contract between the civilian world and the military. Specifically, many veterans and family members resented the extremely long terms of deployment. Typically, American soldiers might expect one or two tours of duty in a theater of war. However, this policy changed during the Iraq war, as soldiers were routinely required to serve three or four tours of duty or were called back to duty after leaving the armed services. Thus, the movement among veterans and military families was not merely a protest against war, or even a specific war. It was also a protest against a broken promise between those who had volunteered to defend their country and those who had the power to send them into harm's way.

conference on the humanities and diffusion
I got the following announcement from Arizona State about a conference on humanities and movements, diffusion, and culture – "Transforming Contagion." Interesting stuff for those interested in cultural studies, history, and American studies. Here's the link and a clip from the announcement:
Call for Papers
Symposium: "Transforming Contagion"
Location: Arizona State University's West campus (Phoenix, AZ)
Date: Friday, October 23, 2015
We invite proposals for an exciting and provocative symposium on the topic of Transforming Contagion. This transdisciplinary and transhistorical symposium aims to explore contagion in its broadest sense by including perspectives about the spread, transmission, and modalities of contagion, and how contagion has been variously defined, imagined, and subjected to regulation and/or exploitation. By "contagion," we do not necessarily mean only that which occurs in the body or within the framework of embodiment, but also contagions rooted in the literary, psychological, moral, educational, or political. We thus invite papers from any historical period or methodological approach that consider the complicated topic of contagion. Further, we invite papers that postulate how contagion itself might be transformed, deployed as a model for propagating revolutionary ideas, feelings, and beliefs, or utilized as a lens through which we can understand and critique our social and material world. We particularly invite papers that are radical, creative, feminist, boundary-smashing, intersectional, politically relevant, and wildly interdisciplinary.

Cardinal Rules
Lois Bryan
Photograph - Photography / Digital Art
A beautiful scarlet-red cardinal posing for me and hoping he'll be paid in full for his modeling services with some black oiler sunflower seeds (which he did get!).
The Cornel Lab of Ornithology has this to say about the cardinal:
The male Northern Cardinal is perhaps responsible for getting more people to open up a field guide than any other bird. They�re a perfect combination of familiarity, conspicuousness, and style: a shade of red you can�t take your eyes off. Even the brown females sport a sharp crest and warm red accents. Cardinals don�t migrate and they don�t molt into a dull plumage, so they�re still breathtaking in winter�s snowy backyards. In summer, their sweet whistles are one of the first sounds of the morning.
You can read more and hear their sweet song here:

Bottle Cap Bugs
By: Heidi Borchers
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Yes, it is possible to love insects in the summer! Make Bottle Cap Bugs from Heidi Borchers from recyclable materials such as plastic bottle caps, empty cereal boxes, and wire. No need to wait until next year to create Earth Day crafts - work on this project today and go green!
- Plastic bottle caps – assorted sizes – (I've used a Gatorade cap for the body and a water bottle cap for the head in this tutorial)
- Fabric
- Cereal box cardboard
- Aleene's Tacky Glue
- Glue gun
- Wire- 18 gauge- 3 pieces 7" long for each bug
- Needle nose pliers to shape wire
- Craft foam for eyes and beak (or wiggle eyes)
- Measure cap for body of the bug and cut a piece of fabric approximately 1-½" larger than cap.
- For body back, cut cardboard circle 1/8" smaller than the plastic cap.
- Put glue onto the cardboard circle and place glue side down onto wrong side of a fabric scrap.
- Cut off excess fabric around cardboard circle.
- Place glue onto the top of the cap, and place glue side onto wrong side of fabric in the middle of the fabric circle.
- Place the Aleene's Tacky glue around the sides of the plastic cap.
- Place hot glue on the inside of the water bottle cap.
- Immediately bring the fabric over the sides and into the hot glue. Continue to place the fabric into the hot glue as you make your way around the cap.
- Fabric will need to be completely pushed to the inside of the cap for body.
- Place a mark on the center of each of the wires.
- Shape the wire as shown in photo, using the center mark, as the center of the leg, that will be placed in the center of the fabric covered cap.
- Put hot glue and Aleene's Tacky Glue in the inside of the cap. Place the shaped wire legs into the glue.
- Place hot glue onto the back of the fabric covered prepared cardboard circle for body.
- Immediately place the cardboard into the glue inside the cap, and 'sandwiching' the wire legs in between.
- Immediately adjust the wire legs, while holding the cap and the cardboard together. Hold until hot glue cools.
- Cut fabric circle for the head approximately 1-¼" larger than plastic cap. Place glue onto the top of the plastic cap. Place glued side onto the wrong side of fabric circle.
- Wrap glue fabric to the inside of cap using the hot glue and Aleene's Tacky glue to hold fabric into place.
- Glue fabric covered head to fabric covered prepared body.
- Cut eyes from craft foam and with a paper punch, punch out smaller eyes for the center, or use wiggly eyes. Cut out a beak.
- Glue the eyes and beak onto the top of the head. Adjust wire legs, so the bug stands.

Nigeria to issue N210b, N290b bonds in Q2
Nigeria plans to raise between N210 billion andN 290 billion ($1.33 billion - $1.84 billion) in sovereign bonds ranging between three and 10 years in the second quarter of the year, the Debt Management Office (DMO) said. This is more than its first quarter debt issuance.
DMO said it would auction between N15 billion and N25 billion in three-year paper in April, N30 billion-N40 billion worth in five-year and 10-year bonds each in the same month.
In May, the debt office plans to issue between N30 bilion-N40 billion worth in five-year and 10-year bonds, while in June it would raise between N25billion-N35 billion in five-year, seven-year and 10-year paper.
Nigeria, Africa's second biggest economy, said all were re-openings of those previously issued, except for the issue of N25 billion-N35 billion in seven-year paper in June.
Africa's biggest crude exporter issues sovereign bonds monthly to support the local bond market, create a benchmark for corporate issuance and fund its budget deficit.
Nigeria's secondary bond market remained subdued in the last two weeks as bond holders waited for the release of the second quarter auction calendar.
Dealers expect it would serve as a stimulus to boost activity in the secondary market in the coming days.

For each grouping I am including US shipping, though if it is mailing outside the mainland, I might need some help with the shipping. Sorry for the confusion. Laura Jones, Overland Park KS.

dd:SOCIAL "Raise the (Blue) Roof" Presented by MRM//McCann
Digital DUMBO
Wednesday, August 6, 2014 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM (EDT)
Please note this event is 21+
This month we're taking Digital DUMBO out of its namesake borough and heading to the city to hang with our friends at MRM//McCann.
The global customer experience marketing agency will open the doors to its beautiful new digs where you'll meet some of the finest digital minds around, drink a few adult beverages, and listen to the sounds of DJ All-En1 and DJ Clean.

From: Magnolia, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Privacy Screening
Title: Need a fast growing shrub to quickly create a 6' privacy screen in Magnolia, TX.
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:Can you please recommend a fast-growing shrub to quickly create a 6' plus-tall privacy screen in an area with mottled shade along a north/south oriented wrought-iron fence? This is under a canopy of pine, gum, and other native, east Texas trees and in clay/gumbo soil. There are no man made structures blocking sunlight. We live between Magnolia and Conroe, Tx. Thank you!
That depends on your definition of quickly. Generally, plants that are annuals grow more quickly than perrenials. Plants such as Sunflower Helianthus annuus (Common sunflower) and Corn Zea mays can reach heights of over six feet in just a few months, but these are probably not what you had in mind. One of the fastest growing perrenials is said to be Bamboo whose optimal shoot growth can be 39" per day. Growing bamboo can be problematic, so you might want to consider something that grows more slowly.
An evergreen shrub that the "Green Gurus" frequently recommend is Wax Myrtle Morella cerifera (Wax myrtle). It is a 6-12 ft. shrub that can reach up to 20 ft., and is described by Floridata as being a fast grower. It can grow in full sun to partial shade, likes slightly acidic, moist, deep sands, loams, clay and is found all over east Texas.
To look for other possibilities, lets go to our Native Plant Database. After clicking on the link, scroll down to the Combination Search Box, and make the following selections: choose Texas under State, Shrub under Habit, and Perrenial under Duration. Check Sun under Light requirement ,and Moist under Soil moisture. Click the "Submit combination Search" button and you will get a list of 48 native species occurring in Texas that meet these parameters. Clicking on the name of each plant will bring up its NPIN database page that describes the plant's characteristics, its growth requirements as well as pictures.
Another option that would be faster growing would be an evergreen vine on a trellis, or on the fence if it is tall enough. Go back to the Native Plant Database, and proceed as before except choose Vine instead of Shrub under Habit. Click the "Submit combination Search" button and you will get a list of 24 vines from which to choose.
Three that might be possibilities:
Bignonia capreolata (Crossvine)
Gelsemium sempervirens (Carolina jessamine)
Lonicera sempervirens (Coral honeysuckle)

24 billion TT$ in Clico so far and no accountability
1.6 billion TT$ spent on Piarco Airport and 1 billion traced to offshore banks
I am now more than a bit concerned that corruption from the Manning era is flourishing under your watch. Despite all your ranting about setting up an Anti-corruption Commission, I have heard nothing about this essential service. I don't know if such a Commission exist since a Google search shows that it was last mentioned early in 2011. I blogged about such a measure in January 2011, full of hope that finally a Government in power will do something about the corruption infestation that is still plaguing our land.
What has happened since this People's Partnership was elected is that senior government ministers are now partying with the obviously-corrupt public officials and some suspected big drug men and money launders are courting and liming with the opposition. By now, despite rants form politicians on both sides, the population knows that Section 34 was no accident and it was one of the few things that the Government, Opposition and other higher powers agreed on for the good of the "better people" of our land. Our marketed-as-fearless Prime Minister said back in January 2011 "If it is that a man works for $1,000 but he is driving a million-dollar BMW, then where did that money come from?" What I want to add is "Where did some of the directors of various Ministries get money to build their $10,000,000 dollar second homes in Trinidad, and buy new Prados and BMWs." These homes are places where some self-righteous Government Ministers party with dubious characters (public servants) who might well be sponsoring the Government.
Much of the population is feeling betrayed by the Government and Opposition as people are realizing the depth of corruption and money laundering in this country. Both political parties seem to have a hand in allowing these activities to flourish as these political parties and party officials benefit immensely from dirty money. These parties are unpatriotic and their main goal is to ride the backs of voters so that they can protect the Mr. Bigs of our country. What lies beneath our political parties stinks even more than what we see on the surface and what we see on the surface is rotten beyond belief.
A Betrayed Voter
The only reason Citizens show a keen interest in the National Budget every year is that, besides Movietowne and Parliament, there isn't much quality entertainment available to citizens of Trinidad and Tobago. Movietowne provides a nice environment for movies, dining and liming whereas Parliament supplies quality bacchanal due to an over-abundance of Parliamentarians and Senators with the lowest morals, integrity and intelligence. The National Budget was always about the allocation of funds available for plundering by the elected and selected few and if the Budget provided relief and hope to the average Citizen it was purely coincidental. This year, the Prime Minister in her glee, pelted a few grains of budgetary delights at her chickens in an attempt to prevent them from noticing they were being slaughtered daily.
The National Budget was, and still is, about putting the elected and selected thieves on alert in order to get their act together so the Country's money won't be wasted of the common good but on the good of the chosen. This Government is so similar to the last one I am beginning to realize the People's Partnership was envious of the Manning regime, so they decided to copy Manning's style from day one. The National Budget is not a statement of the way forward for the country but a newsletter for white-collar criminals of Trinidad and Tobago. It is an important document used for planning by this elite bunch as this is a country where white-collar criminals are protected by the law and their lawyers on the inside.
From Manning to Persad-Bissessar – not a damn thing has changed except for the changing of the incompetents and big time thieves.
Despite previous public perception, I am the Attorney General who knows nutting about criminal law. Now under this maladministration we had a Minister of Justice who knew quite a bit about criminals so that is why the PM fire he ass. I see no reason to resign because I was so ignorant about criminal law it ain't funny. I couldn't even tell the difference between a purse snatcher and a white collar criminal. In fact, when Section 34 went before cabinet I fly away fast, fast because whether I was there or in Alaska, it wouldn't ah make ah damn difference and I think the PM was fully cognisant of this. However it should be noted that only last night I ordered two books from Amazon Bargain Books section, Criminal Law for Dummies and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Criminal Law. With this new found knowledge I will now be able to advise Cabinet properly and at a level they can understand. I am surprised people are calling for my head and I only assume it is because I have fat cheeks. And, no, stupidity is never a reason to be dismissed from cabinet because if that was the case the cabinet of this country will be nearly empty all the time.
Dear Kamla,
After your speech last night, I can say you are now in the same league as Patrick Manning – incompetent beyond words. It is either incompetent or part of the conspiracy plot but believe me, incompetent is the better choice.
It seems you were the last person in Trinidad and Tobago to realize that Mr. Hubert could not be trusted around the laws of the country. What does that say for your other choices of members of your cabinet? Is Mr. Hubert the only one who can not be trusted? Your judgment apparently leaves a lot to be desired and I now truly believe that we will have many more disgraceful and unpatriotic lies and schemes which you and your cabinet are planning to "unintentionally" unleash onto the public.
If there really was a new level of accountability from the Government when the People's Partnership replaced the PNM you would have also fired Mr. Anand and throw in Jack for good measure simply because they were telling the population "move on, nothing to see here." Really, nothing to see here! Maybe you should have also resigned in order to show the population what good governance really looks like. Your speech last night does not signal the end but the beginning of the end for your party. It's so sad it had to come to this.
I never trust people's assertions, I always judge of them by their actions ~ Ann Radcliffe
Despite countless wishes and prayers from Anand, Hubert and Jack the population will not be moving on from Section 34 simply because this trio are the ones who should be moving on. What these politicians don't realize or what they fear is that Section 34 is like a ham bone, the more you boil it the better the soup taste.
The Section 34 Scandal has made it easy for a disillusioned population to come up with a plot for an international spy thriller where Mr. and Mr. Big paid a politician or group of politicians to ensure they (Mr. and Mr. Big) get away with the country's money and possibly many other assorted criminal offenses in the future. What is now a thick plot in public's mind is that this Government never intended to move the country forward but to help criminals get a better grip around the people's necks and balls. And speaking of balls, if the Prime Minister doesn't act with Partap haste on this matter then the population will understand why criminals are held in such high esteem by the Government and why we must be very afraid of every action by this ruling force.
I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Within a month or so my fellow citizens of Trinidad and Tobago will learn what economic austerity measures will be in store for them. Measures which may include things such as increases in the price of fuel, VAT, import duties, along with higher taxes on alcohol, cigarettes, iPads and incomes. All these measures will be unleashed onto the public coupled with retrenchment in the public service. Also, within the same time-frame, Parliamentarians will receive, at taxpayers' expense, the iconic and expensive iPad tablets which can be used for storing Parliamentary documents and playing Angry Birds.
According to the Speaker of the House, The Honorable Wade Mark, he decided to issue the iPads to strengthen the 50-year-old nation's democracy which has an unlimited supply of taxpayers dollars. I understand that Mr. Mark said the process of acquiring iPads will be as transparent, thus corruption free, as possible. But to start with, Mr. Mark said iPads and not tablets. Does technology-savvy Speaker of The House of Representative even know there are many excellent tablets out there that will serve the 71 Parliamentarians just as well as iPads but are cheaper? Mr. Mark was backed up by the President of the Senate, Mr. Timothy Hamel-Smith, who said that laptops hide the faces of members of Parliament but I fail to see how that is a bad thing. When Parliamentarians were provide with laptops did the powers that be say what brand of laptops they needed? The Speaker needs to come out and tell the public why he has this bias towards Apple Inc. It could well be Mr. Mark used the word iPad to mean a tablet with a Retina display and dual-core A5X processor just as some use the word Colgate to mean toothpaste, Nescafe to mean coffee and Durex to mean condom.
The world has gone global, competition is stiff and Samsung is great. I suggest if this Government and Speaker want to appear to be the pillar of honesty they must go out for an open public tender for tablets with suitable functional specifications and not simply go out to tender for the prestigious iPad. Failing to do so will introduce the smell of bias and favoritism on the doors of Parliament and our Democracy proving once again to citizens that this Government is not as honest as previously advertised.

This is not the first time that the BlackBerry maker has given out free apps. In October 2011, BlackBerry had given out free apps worth $100 (approximately Rs. 5000) as a goodwill gesture post the worldwide outage which had seen BlackBerry services go down for about three days. However, this time the apps are more of a feel good factor.
If you are a BlackBerry owner, then here's a handy list of the free apps and what they offer, to help you make up your mind of which ones to download and which ones you may want to skip.
1) Radio for BlackBerry - This apps gives you access to over 55,000 searchable talk and music radio stations. (Usually Rs. 111)
2) Photo Studio for BlackBerry - If you like add a little zing to the pictures, then this app for image processing on-the-go is a must download. (Usually Rs. 148)
However, this app is very similar to the Photo Editor Ultimate - Ice Cold Apps, which was a part of the giveaway in October 2011. So if you have that app, you may want to compare these two apps in detail before clicking on the download button for this one.
3) Room Escape - This is a puzzle game is usually worth Rs. 37. The premise is that one is locked inside a mysterious room, with no obvious way out. One has to figure out an escape with the help of ordinary objects that are around in the room.
4) Popup Display your Messages is an application which was earlier listed for Rs. 111. The app prompts incoming message (all messages including Text, PIN, and Email message) on the home screen.
5) Themes - There are plenty of theme that are a part of the current giveaway such as the Bollywood Cinema Theme, Tribute to Bollywood Theme, Lord Ganesha Theme, Sri Saibaba Theme.
6) Pencil Camera - This app helps in converting your photos into pencil sketches. The Rs. 37 application also comes in handy to modify or apply effects to the photo stored in the BlackBerry smartphone.
7) Slider Lock For BlackBerry - As the name suggests, this app is useful to add a slider lock for your smartphone. However, this app is not just for the touch range of BlackBerry smartphones just as BlackBerry Storm or BlackBerry Torch but too the non-touch devices as well. Before the giveaway, this app was available for Rs. 74.
8) Jigsaw Plus - This is pretty much like the traditional game of Jigsaw but as it is BBM connected app, so one can compete with BlackBerry Messenger friends and Facebook friends to make the game even more competitive. This applications was earlier available for Rs. 74.
9) SayIt - This app is worth Rs. 185 and is a voice recognition app.
10) ZappClock - This is another app that helps you add a slide lock to your BlackBerry smartphone. (Usually Rs. 74)
11) Create Animated Avatar for BBM - In January 2012, BlackBerry had rolled out a new version of BlackBerry messenger ( v22.214.171.124). This update enabled BBM users to add gif images as their display picture. If you enjoy having animated gif as your display picture and want to create gif to add here, then this is a handy application to enable that.
12) Fruit Slash - This game is similar to the popular Fruit Ninja game available on iOS and Android and was earlier available for Rs. 37.
13) iTunes Sync - As the name suggests, this app helps you sync the iTunes to your BlackBerry smartphone. This app earlier available for Rs. 148 but is now a part of the freebies.
14) Catapult - This is a game app, with the objective to the launch a rock as high as possible. (Usually Rs. 37)
15) App Lock - Worried about the safety of certain files on your BlackBerry smartphone? With App Lock you can have a password for these files. Initially the cost of this app was Rs. 148.
16) LensBoost - It is a photo filtering app that earlier was available for Rs. 74.
