Tsitsikamma Mountain Trail
An awesome hiking trail.
Spend 2 - 6 days hiking through a mountainous wonderland of forest and fynbos where birdsong pulls the sun into the sky, waterfalls and rock pools crisscross your tracks, enchanted forest glades drip monkey ropes, mossy forest floors hide bejewelled flowers and fragrant slopes of fynbos stretch across forever... Start and stop points are flexible as vehicles can access the comfortable, well-equipped overnight huts (which are often close to tasty swimming holes). Whats more slobbo yobbos, they offer equipment portage, so now even slackpackers can head for the hills!

Recent Cocoa Beach reviews
"Hi Peter, We really enjoyed your condo with it's nice view of the ocean. We also like the Cocoa Beach area... everything is near: grocery, shopping, golf…..etc. It's one of the nicest place we have ever rented. Best regards Jean-Guy"Guest: Jean-Guy C. Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: February 2, 2015View listing
"Just spent two weeks here with my family. The place is steps from the beach and has everything we needed. A large master with a private bathroom, and two smaller bedrooms with another bathroom are located upstairs. The main level has a well-equipped kitchen and laundry machines. We spent every morning watching the sunrise on the deck. Local managers were helpful in the couple instances where we needed them. We liked it so much, we've booked again for next year."Guest: Chris M. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 22, 2015View listing
"This is our 2nd time staying at this condo and we love it. It's comfortable, well appointed (lot of dishes, pots and pans, hand mixer, toaster, etc - no blender just FYI), clean and so close to the beach! With two small kids, we love that we can just walk out the back door and we are only steps from the beach, no stairs, no elevator to deal with!! There are also beach chairs, some sand toys, couple boogie boards and beach umbrella. We also love the large dining room table so we can all comfortably fit for dinner and games! The owner is very responsive and easy to deal with. We hope to be back again soon!"Guest: Debbie Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 20, 2015View listing
"This condo unit was extremely clean and well kept. Great layout of space. Enjoyed sitting on the patio every day looking at the ocean. It had every thing you needed, from kitchen to bath, and beach accessories. We enjoyed cooking several meals buying fresh caught fish from Clancy's fish market. We never turned on the TV the entire 2 weeks we were there. Great location. Access to many restaurants and shops. Being right on the beach was fantastic and we took anywhere from 2 to 5.5 mile walks on the beautiful beach every day. We are golfers and met up with our Melbourne friend several times to play. Short drive to access many golf courses in the Melbourne area. On site pool was also great, always clean. Overall the condo was perfect for both worlds, whether you wanted to relax on the beach or enjoy outdoor activities. Owner of unit always available if you had any questions. Highly recommend this condo unit. We would come back again."Guest: Monica and Ed Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 15, 2015View listing

(By Balaseshan) McGraw-Hill Companies Inc. (NYSE: MHP) reported a 76% jump in earnings from continuing operations on higher revenue. However, the financial intelligence and education company guided fiscal 2013 below consensus.
Earnings from continuing operations for the fourth quarter were $190 million or $0.67 per share, up from $108 million or $0.37 per share last year.
The company said latest quarter continuing operations results excluded the pending sale of McGraw-Hill Education, which has been reclassified as a discontinued operation. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations jumped 56% to $0.72.
[Related -Stocks End Higher On Home Sales, Italy; Apple (AAPL) Jumps]
Revenue climbed 22% to $1.226 billion.
Analysts, on average, polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a profit of $0.72 per share on revenue of $1.61 billion for the fourth quarter.
Revenue from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services soared 34%, driven by the continued low interest rate environment and elevated levels of refinancing activity. S&P Capital IQ revenue increased 8%.
S&P Dow Jones Indices revenue surged 38%, while revenue excluding Dow Jones Indexes rose 5%. Commodities & Commercial Markets revenue increased 9%.
For the fiscal 2013, the company projects adjusted EPS of $3.10 to $3.20, about a 15% increase, and revenue of high single-digit growth, while Street predicts EPS of $3.80 on revenue growth of 6.50.
On November 2012, McGraw-Hill has agreed to sell its McGraw-Hill Education business to investment funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, LLC. Following the sale closing, expected in early 2013, the company will be renamed McGraw Hill Financial.

GERMANY: VW plans four hybrid SUVs
By Graeme Roberts | 20 February 2013
Volkswagen is planning four hybrid SUVs powered by the diesel-electric drivetrain from the CrossBlue concept car revealed at the Detroit show a month ago.
The CrossBlue has now been cleared for production to provide a vital missing link in VW's American line-up but is not targeted at any other parts of the world.
"This is a car for a specific segment which only exists in the USA," said Ulrich Hackenberg, the head of VW product planning and engineering, on the eve of its unveiling.
However, the plug-in hybrid powertrain will be available in three new smaller SUVs which will be offered in Europe.
The first is a replacement for the current Tiguan. There will also be a coupé model based on the Tiguan - similar in concept to BMW's X6 or MINI's forthcoming Paceman - plus a longer-wheelbase seven-seat model. All will use the new VW group vehicle architecture which underpins the seventh-generation Golf, the Audi A3, Skoda's latest Octavia and the new SEAT Leon.
The plug-in drivetrain features two electric motors - one contained within the gearbox at the front and the other on the rear axle - so that cars using it can switch between two- and four-wheel drive on demand.
In the Detroit show car the motors were paired with a TDI diesel engine delivering a combined power output of 303bhp. But they could just as easily operate with other internal combustion engines or alternative power sources such as a hydrogen fuel cell.

By the time you actually get to the stage of taking the oath the system itself has already made it pretty clear to you that they need to give you citizenship but only because it's the law. This reflects most Jewish Israeli attitudes. Some think no non-Jews should be citizens, some think it is good for diversity but most don't really care. All of these attitudes are present in the immigration (and other) laws and the attitude of the beauracracy that enforce them. For this reason I can't really see, on a practical level, why adding "Jewish & Democratic" changes anything. If you want to be an "inferior citizen" there are plenty of other laws in Israel to point to (marriage etc). Jewish Israelis are struggling to balance keeping / making their country a Jewish state while also being a rational and democratic nation.

Day 157. The Great Wall
Big tour day, thereforeDavid on duty... Jane's first words as she got up "I am sick of this, my eyes are stuck". Getting up early to go on a once in a lifetime day trip was obviously taking its toll! It was 0555 and we were being collected at 0620. At 0615 the room phone rang. I didn't understand the Chinese that was spoken to me but I knew the …
Day 156. Forbidden City then another skybar!
DaveO blogging... You will be pleased to know we got a good night's sleep. That would hopefully set us up well for the amount of walking we would do around China's capital. Jane wanted me to check to see if we could do laundry. I went to the front desk with a prop, my washing bag. I pointed at it and shrugged my shoulders while looking around. The …
Day 155. Seoul by foot
I have already written this entry once today, but as I'm a dopey apeth, I managed to delete it! (JaneO continues to type with a grump on). This blog will be amazing printed into a book, but it sometimes is a chore. We're so pleased and grateful that so many take the time to read it! Big up to nephew Sammy - loving the comments. The early birds had …
The Birds Nest
Today was supposed to be a partially free day but we all opted to do a wholly escorted tour day and have a completely free last day tomorrow. Our lovely tour guide Ken,built another lovely day fully action packed. The Beijing Olympic village was not on the itinerary but he made it happen for us just another amazing experience to add to the list! What a wonderful ...
My big adventure
... in the doors, but, in general, the place was livable.
I enrolled in the course at the end of the day, and found out that I would have to re-take my medical tests for a third time, as well as take a placement exam before I am assigned to a class.
All in all, it was a very successful day, albeit an overwhelming one! I'm excited for the next few months, if this is just day one, then I am certainly in for an action-packed ride. Stay tuned.

The LittleBigPlanet 2: Special Edition features the original game, PlayStation Move add-on content, the Toy Story level and costume pack, and the pets costume packs, all in one package. But if you're lacking in hardware and have got the requisite clearance for flailing in your domicile, then perhaps the PlayStation Move hardware bundle is for you. It includes the enhanced version of LBP 2, plus a PlayStation Move controller, a Nav controller and a PlayStation Eye camera.
Sorry, no word on pricing, but we imagine the game will be $59.99 and the bundle will be somewhere around $149.99.

Jerusalem will be celebrating 3,000 years of its ancient muse with the Jerusalem Season of Culture, a series of ongoing artistic events, which began in May and will carry on through September. In its third year, the Jerusalem Season of Culture is being billed as "a summer showcase of the city's contemporary cultural treasures."The happenings, which take place at various venues throughout the city, include dance, music, poetry, philosophy, visual arts and new media."We are celebrating Jerusalem, the capital of culture and art," says the event's executive director Naomi Bloch Fortis and former co-artistic director at the Batsheva Dance Company. "We think it has a rich and diverse cultural theme, and we are trying to contribute to the international cultural scene of Jerusalem."The desire to enrich the city's cultural theme was one of the motivating factors behind the establishment of the program, now officially recognized as a nonprofit organization. One of its main backers and original founders is the Schusterman Foundation Israel.According to Karen Brunwasser, a former employee of the Schusterman Foundation and now the event's deputy director, "The foundation was concerned with the fact that Jerusalem was losing its relevance to the residents. It wanted to take part in the process of renewal of the city that had been going on over the last few years."After researching urban renewal cases from all over the world and commissioning studies focusing on Jerusalem, two main conclusions were reached: culture serves as a catalyst for urban renewal; and Jerusalem has tremendous potential because of its vast cultural resources.In addition to the Schusterman Foundation Israel, other sponsors of the Jerusalem Season of Culture include the Jerusalem Municipality, the Jerusalem Development Authority and the Jerusalem Foundation.First having taken place as a series of pilot events in 2010, the Jerusalem Season of Culture has grown steadily, today including 11 separate happenings held throughout the summer. The following are some of the highlights of the season: The In-House Festival – Houses, a synagogue and other intimate surroundings will come to life on July 3 – 5 as theater, individual night tours and dance ensembles take to the "stage" in this unique version of performance art.Contact Point – The Israel Museum will be the setting for this one-time event, scheduled for July 12. Leading Israeli artists such as Rona Kenan, Itzik Weingarten and Noam Enbar will perform in a series of installations on the museum campus. The performances are billed as late-night encounters between artworks, the museum landscape and the artists themselves.Balabasta: Culture in the Market – Singers, dancers, actors and poets will converge in Jerusalem's Mahaneh Yehuda market on August 6-20 for afternoon and evening performances within the shuk setting. The idea, according to Bloch Fortis, is not to use the market as a backdrop but to actually "weave the culture into the shuk."Ron Arad: 720 Degrees – The installation by designer, artist and architect Ron Arad will be on display from August 16 – September 9 in the Israel Museum's Art Garden. The work was much touted at its London debut and is expected to be a big draw of the season, according to Bloch Fortis.The exhibition will be intertwined with music, dance, poetry and theater performances, which will be announced in advance. Ron Arad: 720 Degrees will be open for viewing Saturdays – Thursdays from 8 p.m. – 11 p.m.The Jerusalem Sacred Music Festival – A 24-hour international celebration of music, this first-time event will take place on September 6-7 throughout the capital. Musicians from Israel and abroad will perform at various locations, celebrating the concepts of sanctity, sensitivity, compassion and interfaith unity.Complete information on all the events and the Jerusalem Season of Culture in general can be found at their website: http://www.jerusalemseason.com/en orby calling (02) 653-5880.

Nelson Lichtenstein: Wal-Mart's Authoritarian Culture
MONDAY'S Supreme Court decision to block a class-action sex-discrimination lawsuit against Wal-Mart was a huge setback for as many as 1.6 million current and former female employees of the world's largest retailer. But the decision has consequences that range far beyond sex discrimination or the viability of class-action suits.
The underlying issue, which the Supreme Court has now ratified, is Wal-Mart's authoritarian style, by which executives pressure store-level management to squeeze more and more from millions of clerks, stockers and lower-tier managers....
There used to be a remedy for this sort of managerial authoritarianism: it was called a union, which bargained over not only wages and pensions but also the kind of qualitative issues, including promotion and transfer policies, that have proved so vexing for non-unionized employees at Wal-Mart and other big retailers.
For a time it seemed as if the class-action lawsuit might be a partial substitute. By drastically limiting how a class-action suit can be brought, the Supreme Court leaves millions of service-sector workers with few avenues to escape the grinding work life and limited opportunities that so many now face....
