Holiday Overview
Holiday Overview
- Stok Kangri an excellent introduction to Himalayan climbing
- Markha Valley a superb acclimatisation trek
- Explore Leh, the Indus Valley and its Buddhist monasteries
- One of the top five trek and climb holidays in India
Flying in to the Ladakhi capital of Leh, the shapely peak of Stok Kangri (6153m) is prominent on the southern skyline. During several days set aside for acclimatisation on this holiday, we visit the colourful monasteries at Shey, Thikse and Hemis before setting off on a delightful trek through the Markha Valley. Our route leads by way of several remote and picturesque villages to the high Nimaling Plain below the imposing peak of Kang Yatze. Trekking up to the Kongmaru La, we then take a little-used high-level route to Stok Kangri Basecamp, a 3-day approach to the mountain that includes superbly located campsites and far-reaching views towards Tibet and the eastern Karakoram. Although objectively very safe and technically straightforward, involving easy-angled scree and snow slopes, the climb on Stok Kangri is both challenging and interesting. This is a wonderfully varied trekking holiday, perfectly suited to someone seeking their first Himalayan summit.
Is this holiday for you?
After spending 4 days acclimatising to the altitude in Ladakh (3500 metres), during which time we will visit monasteries around Leh and also drive up to the Khardung La, the time that we actually spend on trek will be 13 days. On the Markha Valley trek we will be following good trails, which are the main routes between the villages in the Zanskar and Markha valleys. The final 3 days of the approach to our basecamp traverses a more rugged area with less well-defined trails. This is not a particularly sustained trekking holiday and we have allowed plenty of time for resting and for acclimatisation. In normal conditions, the ascent of Stok Kangri involves no technical climbing. It may be necessary to rope up to cross a small glacier before starting the ascent which will mainly be over easy-angled scree and boulder slopes. The final 100 - 200 metres may require the use of crampons on snow slopes up to about 35 degrees and along a short rocky ridge where the guides may use safety ropes depending on the conditions on the day. Although this is not a technically demanding climb, at an altitude of over 6000 metres, it will be physically demanding. Previous crampon experience is preferable but not essential. Anyone who does not wish to attempt the climb of Stok Kangri can make an easy walking ascent to a viewpoint above the base camp.

Transfer to airport and fly to Leh (3600m)
After an early breakfast, we return to the airport (this time to the Domestic Terminal) for the early morning internal flight to Leh. The hour long flight is simply spectacular and provides close-up views of the 7000 metre massifs of Nun and Kun. Arriving at Leh (3500 metres), we drive by jeep to our hotel. The rest of the day is free to either rest in the shade of the hotel courtyard, or for those not phased by their long air journey, there is the option to take a lazy walk into Leh's colourful bazaar to check out the roadside stalls selling Tibetan artefacts. Flying straight into the high altitude of Leh can take your breath away and it is best to concentrate on acclimatising for the first few days.
Accommodation Hotel

Sightseeing in Leh
A full day's sightseeing tour. We visit several of the area's most important monasteries, at Shey, Thikse and at Hemis, with the opportunity to meet some of the monks who live here. The first two of these monasteries occupy elevated sites and offer remarkable views across the Indus Valley to the Zanskar Ranges. Visiting Leh's monasteries always involves climbing up and down long flights of stairs which is all good for our acclimatisation.
Accommodation Hotel

Whitewater rafting option
A second sightseeing day, with the option to do a bit of easy whitewater rafting on the Indus. The rafting starts at a point called Phey which is about 5 minutes from Spituk Monastery. This is not full-on whitewater, but there are some sections of rapids which are graded 2 to 3 on the whitewater grading system. This means that novice rafters will find it to be exhilarating and not too scary. All appropriate safety equipment is provided and there will be a briefing prior to setting off. The river runs through an impressive gorge, as far as the confluence with the Zanskar River. After 3 hours or so, the rafting ends at Nimu, where a hot lunch will be provided, before making the short drive back to Leh.

Drive to Khardung La (5380m) and return to Leh
Today, we further our acclimatisation with a jeep drive up to the 5380 metre Khardung La, one of the world's highest road passes. This high pass in the mountains to the north of Leh leads into the Nubra Valley, which has until recently been closed to foreign visitors. The 2000 metre climb to the pass provides panoramic views of the Zanskar Range beyond the Indus Valley, with Stok Kangri standing out prominently as one of the higher peaks in the range. At the pass itself, there are views of the little-known peaks of the Eastern Karakoram. After taking tea at the pass, gasping in the thin atmosphere, we return to our hotel in Leh.

Drive to Chilling (3200m)
We are now acclimatised and ready to begin trekking. Our brief introduction to the Tibetan Buddhist world of Ladakh (which has been many times threatened by invading forces over the years) will make us better able to appreciate the significance of the hill-top location of many of the monasteries which we will see on our trek through the Markha Valley. A 40 kilometre (25 mile) drive along the road towards Srinagar and Kashmir, takes us to Nimmu, where the chill waters of the Zanskar River meet the Indus. Here, we turn onto a minor and little-used road, cross the Indus on a sturdy bridge and then follow the left bank of the Zanskar River through a gorge to Chilling - a village well known in Ladakh and Zanskar for the skill of its silversmiths. Chilling is also the gateway into the Markha Valley. This drive will take approximately 3 hours and we camp at Chilling and spend an easy afternoon.

Trek through the Markha Valley to Skiu (3400m)
Crossing the Zanskar by way of an exciting box and cable bridge, we meet our trek crew and our pack-ponies, who will have travelled to this meeting place, via the Markha Valley, a day in advance of our arrival. After sorting out the loads for the ponies, we begin our first day of trekking along a narrow trail on the right bank of the Zanskar Gorge, to a point where the Markha River meets the main valley. We climb to cross a high spur and can look southwards to where the impressive Zanskar Gorge disappears around a corner. A red-painted collection of chortens on the far side of the Zanskar and a faint indication of a trail points to the existence of a route into Zanskar. In fact, the only time it is practicable to follow the Zanskar River southwards as far as Padum in Zanskar is in the depths of winter when, for a few short weeks, the frozen river allows reasonable progress through the gorge to be made - but that is another story. At this point, we turn towards the south-east into the Markha Valley, and continue until we reach the irrigated trees and fields of the hamlets of Skaya and then Skiu, where we camp for the night. The main trail into the Markha Valley from the north, over the Ganda La, joins our route at this point. There is a small monastery in Skiu and a derelict fortress/monastery on the cliff above our riverside camp. Altitude at camp is 3400 metres.

Time 4 - 5 hrs walking
Trek to Markha Village (3700m)
Crossing and recrossing the Markha stream, we make a long day's walk of around 8 hours to the 30 or 40 houses of Markha Village. The trail passes through quite lush vegetation at the riverside, whilst the upper valley-slopes are uniformly brown and dry. There are bridges at many of the more difficult crossing places. En route we pass several more derelict monasteries, which are often quite difficult to pick out, high on the valley sides. There are also a number of well maintained chortens and prayer walls and at least one good example of a wolf trap. During the winter, wolves and snow leopards visit these high valleys. Becoming bold on account of their hunger, they descend to the villages and prey on domestic animals. The local form of wolf trap is a stone enclosure with overhanging sides, into which is placed live or dead animals baits. If a wolf jumps into the enclosure to eat the bait, it is unable to escape and is stoned to death by the local people. We also pass a couple of isolated houses, one of which is occupied by an old lady who still wears the traditional Ladakhi headdress known as a peraq. On a hill to the north of Markha there is a small gompa. The resident monk will be happy to show you the ancient wall paintings and festival masks which are contained within this lovely old monastery - reputedly one of the oldest in Ladakh. We camp at Markha, an altitude of 3700 metres.

Trek via Hangkar to Thachungste (4265m)
We continue above Markha Village, trekking eastwards, deeper into the Markha Valley. We pass more impressive monasteries, some ruined and some intact, a testament to the fact that this valley was once more populous than it is today. Hidden away between the two hamlets which make up Hangkar village, high on a rocky spur is another remarkable ruined monastery. In this high valley we are likely to see small herds of blue sheep (bharal) which often come right down to the river to graze. Leaving Hangkar, we now have a good view of a prominent snow peak at the head of the valley. This is Kang Yatze, a 6400 metre high mountain which has a subsidiary summit at around 6100 metres which is very straightforward and often climbed as a trekking peak in its own right. Passing another well maintained wolf pit, we cross the Markha stream on the last bridge that we will see and continue to our camp at the tiny settlement of Tahungste at an altitude of 4265 metres.

Trek up onto the Nimaling Plain (4700m)
Although now acclimatised to these high altitudes will no doubt feel its effects as we climb to our next camp located at approximately 4700 metres on the area of sparse grazing known as the Nimaling Plain. This was actually one of the first places in Ladakh to be semi settled, by nomadic herdsmen bringing their animals from Tibet. The scenery opens out as we traverse around to the north side of Kang Yatze and we should look out for the pass which we must cross to return us to the Indus Valley. This pass, the Kongmaru La with its cairn of stones and prayer flags, can be seen from our camp beside the frozen upper reaches of the Nimaling Chu.

Acclimatisation. Optional day hike
This is a day for rest and acclimatisation. This is a fantastic camping location and spending a second night at 4700 metres will provide excellent acclimatisation for the climb of Stok Kangri. Those amongst the group who are feeling energetic can trek over towards Kang Yatze, to a high point (5500m) on the ridge that runs from the peak towards the north-west. As well as herds of blue sheep, huge golden marmots and large hares, the other impressive wildlife species hereabouts are immense birds of prey, including lammergeiers (bearded vultures - the biggest of the Himalayan raptors) and golden eagles. The sight of a lammergeier drifting towards you on motionless wings, passing just overhead, unconcerned by your presence, is simply unforgettable.

We trek up to the Kongmaru La (5100m) on a well marked trail which zig-zags across scree for the final 250 metres to the pass - 2 hours ascent. From the pass there are views north to the hills of the Eastern Karakoram and China, whilst the southern panorama is dominated by the shapely Kang Yatze. Descending, we enter a narrow gorge, which presents wonderfully contorted rock formations, pillars and buttresses, some of them remarkable colours, reds through to green and greys. The best trail crosses from one side of the valley to the other time and time again - and we are obliged to cross the growing stream many times. Our campsite tonight is at Chuskyurmo (4000m).

This lovely valley is a high and wild area which is visited only by climbing groups and by the local people who spend some of the summer months in picturesque villages of stone huts, from where they tend their flocks of sheep and goats. We camp close by some shepherds huts at Smankarmo (4380m).

Climb Stok Kangri (6153m) and return to basecamp (4900m)
From basecamp the trail climbs over a ridge then follows the glacier at first beside the moraine and finally across rubble-covered ice to the lower slopes of the mountain. In normal conditions, much of the climb involves walking across scree and boulder slopes. The final 100 - 200 metres will involve the use of crampons on snow slopes up to about 35 degrees and along a short rocky ridge where the guides may use safety ropes depending on the conditions on the day. At any time of the year but especially late in the season, the snow may extend to the glacier in which case we may use ropes to cross and crampons will be worn for the whole of the climb. Although this is not a technically demanding climb, at an altitude of over 6000 metres, it will be very strenuous. Once on the summit beside the cairn and streaming colourful prayer flags, the views are spectacular and extensive, stretching from the Karakoram peaks to the north to a number of almost unknown 6000 metre peaks in Tibet to the north-east, and including a bird's eye view of the Indus Valley and Leh below us to the north. Having taken our photographs, we make the descent by the same route back to the glacier and across the ridge to reach the basecamp.

You can check the trip status for each departure in 'Dates and Prices' table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status and so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
Passport & Visas
A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required. The information that we provide is for UK passport holders. Please check the relevant embassy or consulate for other nationalities. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Visa requirements and charges are subject to change without notice. If you are travelling outside the EU you should have at least 2 blank pages in your passport.
Visa India
You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid. Malarial prophylaxis is not usually required for trips in the mountains, however if you are visiting rural and remote low lying areas then they might be necessary. On holidays to more remote areas you should also have a dentist check up. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro.
Electricity Supply & Plug
We recommend you check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items at:

Christmas at The Mysterious Bookshop (edition 2010)
by Otto Penzler
Work details
Christmas at The Mysterious Bookshop by Otto Penzler
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Interesting basis for generating some mystery short stories.
What a great collection of short stories. Famed editor, publisher, Mysterious Bookshop owner and book collection Otto Penzler commissions a short story each year, for Christmas, from a famous author. The only requirement is that at least part of the story has to involve his Bookshop. Due to popular demand, he has gathered the stories together for everyone to read. Just a quick look at the authors will tell you that you are in for a treat. There is Lawrence Block, Mary Higgens Clark, Rupert Holmes, Ed McBain, S.J. Rozan and Donald E. Westlake, plus 10 others.
Some of the stories I liked better than others but all are wonderful, if you love books and like short stories, give this book a read, you won't be sorry.
Christmas at the Mysterious Bookshop
17 mystery writers are given a task each Christmas to come up with a very short story surrounding one item-the bookstore in NYC.
I liked the stories and some I felt I didn't get the whole thing because they were so short. Going to get other works by the authors and read their longer works as they were interesting to listen to.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
A collection of Christmas stories by established authors, all commissioned by Otto Penzler, the proprietor of the Mysterious Bookshop in New York. Every year, Penzler would ask a mystery writer to write a short Christmas mystery, and include the Mysterious Bookshop in the story. He has gathered them into this fun collection, and I enjoyed reading them all!
Otto Penzler is the proprietor of New York City's Mysterious Bookshop. This collection of short stories grew out of a 17 year tradition at his store of having one of his favorite mystery writers pen a short story featuring his bookshop in it each Christmas as a thank you gift to customers. The collected short stories, originally published individually, are now available to anyone who wishes to read them via this collection. As is usual in such a volume, some of the stories were better than others. One of my favorites was the story penned by Ed McBain entitled "I Saw Mommy Killing Santa Claus." The one thing that became quite clear to me is that my mystery interests are quite different from those of the shop owner. Only two or three of my favorite writers were included in the collection. Having never been to the Mysterious Bookshop, I did get a feel for the shop and its owner after reading so many stories with the setting; however, I'm not sure it is a shop I would frequent even if I lived in New York City even though mystery is my favorite genre. I did come to one other conclusion, the mystery genre, in general, does not lend itself well the the short story form.

The 82%:Newpoll resultsshow that 82 percent of respondents do not want the super committee to cut spending on defense programs, including programs for soldiers and veterans. In addition, the POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll shows that more Americans would oppose efforts by the super committee to cut defense than would oppose the committee's efforts to cut entitlement programs.
In the same poll, 83 percent of respondents said they are concerned about across the board spending cuts to all defense, with 27 percent saying they would be "extremely concerned" about across the board defense cuts.

... This was almost certainly [Ted Williams'] last time to come to the plate in Fenway Park, and instead of merely cheering, as we had at his three previous appearances, we stood, all of us—stood and applauded. Have you ever heard applause in a ballpark? Just applause—no calling, no whistling, just an ocean of handclaps, minute after minute, burst after burst, crowding and running together in continuous succession like the pushes of surf at the edge of the sand. It was a sombre and considered tumult. There was not a boo in it. It seemed to renew itself out of a shifting set of memories as the kid, the Marine, the veteran of feuds and failures and injuries, the friend of children, and the enduring old pro evolved down the bright tunnel of twenty-one summers toward this moment. ...The last at-bat of Ted Williams' (photo above circa 1955) career will go down in infamy -- not just for one of the best hitters of all time cranking a home-run in his final at-bat, but the eloquent prose of one John Updike that captured the moment and framed it in history for all time, providing an impossible ideal for future journalists to live up to.
Understand that we were a crowd of rational people. We knew that a home run cannot be produced at will; the right pitch must be perfectly met and luck must ride with the ball. Three innings before, we had seen a brave effort fail. The air was soggy; the season was exhausted. Nevertheless, there will always lurk, around a corner in a pocket of our knowledge of the odds, an indefensible hope, and this was one of the times, which you now and then find in sports, when a density of expectation hangs in the air and plucks an event out of the future.
... [Doug] Fisher threw the third time, Williams swung again, and there it was. ...
Like a feather caught in a vortex, Williams ran around the square of bases at the center of our beseeching screaming. He ran as he always ran out home runs—hurriedly, unsmiling, head down, as if our praise were a storm of rain to get out of. He didn't tip his cap. Though we thumped, wept, and chanted "We want Ted" for minutes after he hid in the dugout, he did not come back. Our noise for some seconds passed beyond excitement into a kind of immense open anguish, a wailing, a cry to be saved. But immortality is nontransferable. The papers said that the other players, and even the umpires on the field, begged him to come out and acknowledge us in some way, but he never had and did not now. Gods do not answer letters. ...
-- John Updike, "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu"
That moment happened on September 28th, 1960 -- making Tuesday the 50th anniversary of the original moment. Even more special about the moment was that everyone knew it was Williams' final at-bat. He would not be making the three-game trip to New York to wrap the season up and was replaced in the top of the ninth with Carroll Hardy. Incidentally, Hardy is the only player in baseball history to ever pinch-hit for Ted Williams (Williams was pinch-hit just once in his career, coming September 20th of 1960 when Williams fouled a ball off his foot and left the game) and Carl Yastrzemski, becoming the only player to pinch-hit for two future Hall of Famers. Hardy also pinch-hit for Roger Maris.
The Library of America (courtesy photo) is honoring the feat by re-releasing John Updike's epic column (read the column in full here ) in a commemorative edition which the author prepared just months before his January, 27, 2009 death. He has an autobiographical preface and an extensive afterword in the quaint book that deserves to be a staple of every baseball fan's collection. (The book can be purchased here .)
The Red Sox are also getting in on the action and will honor the moment on Friday, October 1 prior to the night's game against the Yankees. The ceremony will include footage of the home run and appearances by Red Sox icon Johnny Pesky and Updike's son, David. 150 free copies of the book will also be distributed to fans.

November 28, 2015
PATTISON, Texas -- Investigators are trying to figure out why a Houston-area man was lying on a road when he was run over by a sheriff's vehicle and later died.
The Texas Department of Public Safety has identified the victim as 28-year-old Maurice Dixon of Berkshire.
Authorities say Dixon was on a road about 5 miles west of Pattison when he was run over early Saturday. Officials are trying to determine if Dixon had been drinking alcohol and was involved in a disturbance where a Waller County sheriff's deputy was headed.
Officials say the deputy did not see Dixon on the highway. The victim was transported to a hospital where he died.

I'm a genderfluid boy/girl who lives for fun, pleasure, and happiness. I absolutely love cuddles, whether they're with just one other person, or in a really big cuddle puddle.
My hobbies include gaming (PC games, board games, and card games), trying new foods, performing card magic, and writing short stories and poetry. I also like playing piano and composing music when I'm in the mood for it.
If you're wondering why I play board games as a hobby, this video will explain it: http://vimeo.com/70647384
I'm polysexual, with a strong female preference. I tend to only like guys who are very feminine or androgynous, but I like all kinds of girls, from femme chicks to tomboys, as well as people who don't fit into the gender binary.
My own gender tends to act like a chameleon, switching between male and female (or somewhere in between) depending on who I'm with and what I'm doing. People have described female-me as "cutesy," "adorable," and "the gayest person I've ever met who's not actually gay." It's fun to be different!
I'm polyamorous, and in many wonderful open relationships with many awesome people, including ofmaireadandmen and leighannliz19. I'm prone to developing crushes on everyone, and it just doesn't make sense to be in a monogamous relationship when I love everybody. I'm also happier when my partners are in relationships with other people they love; compersion is a wonderful feeling (Google it!).
What I'm Looking For:
I'm here mainly to find cuddle buddies and make out partners. It's harder to find girls who are into platonic frenching than you'd think! I also really love receiving head scratches, lap sits, and face licks.
I'm also a sub, so I'd love to find Dommes to play with. Of course, I'm open to non-kinky friendships and relationships as well.
I'm not looking for a stereotypical relationship. If you're looking for someone to marry or have kids with, please look somewhere else. On the other hand, if you want to have fun, cuddle a lot, and go on adventures in the city, then I'd love to hear from you!

Yellow Island Wooden Boat Race
Saturday May 16
7 -9 September
Island Wooden Boat Race
(Saturday May 16)
Join the Wooden Boat Society of the San Juan Islands for the fourth annual Yellow Island Wooden Boat Race, to be held Saturday, May 16, 2015, with a start in Deer Harbor on Orcas Island.
All wooden sailboats are welcome (boats built of other materials are also welcome but will receive no prizes). The starting line will be south of the Deer Harbor Marina. The marks of the course will consist of various islands and rocks in the area, as well as a race buoy located near the marina.
The race entry fee of $15 per boat (and signed liability waiver) will be collected at the skipper's meeting (location to be announced). The entry fee includes one continental breakfast; additional breakfasts are available for crew and spectators. The race will start in the late morning, and will have a four-hour time limit. Those without a current PHRF rating will have a temporary rating assigned to them by race organizers. Non-racers are welcome to relax and socialize at the marina. We will try to stage one end of the finish line at the outside float of the marina.
Colorful burgees for first, second, and third place finishers will be awarded at a potluck/awards ceremony at the marina the evening after the race. Participant burgees will be available for sale, with proceeds to benefit the San Juan Islands Wooden Boat Society, which seeks to coordinate wooden boat activities in the islands.
Discounted moorage for Friday and Saturday nights is available. Call the Deer Harbor Marina, 360-376-3037 to reserve a slip (good anchorage is also available).

What really happens when kids eat food?
Almost the same as blowing a kazoo
Food be used as food but other things too
We really don't care they're fun to chew!
Here's to chocolate! A marvelous thing!
A tasty delight that has another fun use
To smear on the face with gooey choco-juice
Makes for great camouflage and very messy games
Vegetables and fruits we'll never ever touch
Eying them suspiciously like spies in a bunch
Strangely enough these loops of fruit
go down the hatch without dispute!
If ice-cream doesn't melt and run down our arms
it isn't real at all and should sound your alarm!
If it's real and cold then don't come close
since it looks much better as a splat on your clothes!
Have you ever seen a child with baked beans?
Or for that matter eating salad greens?
Neither have I.
A good way to tell that they taste very iffy
If the dog takes a sniff and runs away in a jiffy
Candies and snacks and chocolate milk too!
Make a healthy diet from our point of view
Broccoli and Spinach and their little green friends
We know all their tricks and beat 'em in the end
White walls and furniture and clean carpets too
Just some of the places we try to chuck food through
So say hello to our jelly filled buns
that stick so well and so much fun!
There's only one rule that you should know
Never interrupt a child during a meal
If you do then prepare for a war
With rubber fists, squeals and tasty massacred gore

Aww that's cute haha I enjoyed reading this, you're a great writer! Keep it up
aww, i thought we were eating kids, darn..
Aww. Sounds so adorable. And easy to read. Great job !
So cute!
Very nicely put. Luckily, though, I was a child who ate nothing but fruits and veggies. It could definitely be put into a children's book - but I could see it being in a "How To Parent" book, also. It's very lovely to see a poem that both children and parents can understand. Kudos to you!
White walls and carpet, Do I sense a lack of planning here? Nice piece of writing.
My warped brain read that title as 'How to Eat Kids'. Anyway, this was a fun poem to read, and you obviously have experience with how messy kids are when they eat!
lol! That made me laugh when I read your comment. Thanks! I needed that laugh.
That sounds just like my daughter!
i almost eat everything that is edible
well i didn't like vegetable as a kid but i did like most fruits sence they were usually sweet tasting
I find it kinda super-cute
To the favourites!
To the favourites!
This is quite charming, actually~
Small children eating are like blenders without tops...
Small children eating are like blenders without tops...
I enjoy the way you associated food with the sense of touch as well as taste!
Well done!

If you're a sucker for fad diets based on the latest nutritional miracle, you'd better read John Bohannon's expose of how he was able to fool millions of people into thinking that eating chocolate promotes weight loss, at io9:
… Read the rest
"Slim by Chocolate!" the headlines blared. A team of German researchers had found that people on a low-carb diet lost weight 10 percent faster if they ate a chocolate bar every day. It made the front page of Bild, Europe's largest daily newspaper, just beneath their update about the Germanwings crash. From there, it ricocheted around the internet and beyond, making news in more than 20 countries and half a dozen languages. It was discussed on television news shows. It appeared in glossy print, most recently in the June issue of Shape magazine ("Why You Must Eat Chocolate Daily", page 128). Not only does chocolate accelerate weight loss, the study found, but it leads to healthier cholesterol levels and overall increased well-being.

Tshwane deputy police chief in courtComment on this story
The Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Monday examined numerous questions submitted by embattled Tshwane metro police deputy chief Ndumiso Jaca's defence team.
The questions are part of Jaca's request to be furnished with further particulars of the charges against him.
Earlier on Monday there was heated debate in court over the submission of the "further particulars", as Jaca's lawyer accused the prosecutor of defying a court order issued previously.
Magistrate Graham Travers denied issuing the order compelling the prosecutor to give the particulars.
After an adjournment Travers said he had listened to the recorded court proceedings and it confirmed he had never compelled the prosecutor to make the disclosures.
Travers said he would want to go through all the questions submitted by Jaca's lawyer in a bid to establish whether they could be classified as "further particulars" according to the law.
The examination of the questions would resume after a lunch break. Jaca had closely followed the court proceedings, writing notes.
Jaca was charged in March following an EyeWitness News report that he was driving a BMW Z4 with false number plates and police lights. He was also spotted on a Harley Davidson motorbike with the same false registration number plate. – Sapa

Sexed Then Drugged Then Rocked Then Rolled
Sexed Then Drugged Then Rocked Then Rolled.
If you are a middle aged man in a bar and one of the sexiest women you have ever seen, a 20 something babe with a body that won't quit, comes up to you an intimates that she has to have sex with you now or she'll just die–what do you think? Unless you are a young, handsome millionaire, rock star, or movie star, I know what you should think. Watch your wallet! But while there may be a law against what this "lady" is about to do, there is no law against your being stupid so you have it.
In a story that seems as old as time, the gentlemen goes up to his room or hers and the next thing he knows he is naked and alone and his wallet is gone. The sex that was promised or intimated never materialized. He definitely got drugged. Taking his clothes off was probably not an easy matter. Perhaps she rocked him for that. And taking his money and then running is called rolling a guy in some parts.
In the Internet age this scam does at times take on a new twist or two. Someone claiming to be a twenty year old girl from Bulgaria wants your bod or to have your babies, or she wants to get married or she wants something. And suddenly a mysterious need for money appears. Her mother is sick. She needs a passport. She has to get training of some sort so she can come to America and get a job and meet you! Can you send cash in untraceable bills please?
Or there is this weird facebook scam wherein one of your facebook friends tells you they are trapped in jail in a foreign country and if you could just wire them some cash they could bribe their way out of jail.
A weird twist on the traditional sex scam is called "catfishing". For normal folks, nothing about "catfishing" sounds normal. There is no sex. There is no money. Often, there is no girl. Wait a minute. Come to think of it, in many Internet sex scams, there is no sex and there is no girl. There is a 50 year old man over in Bulgaria sending out love letters to idiots and scamming them out of their money. And this is where the two different scams part company. People who engage in catfishing never get paid. It's often some guy, pretending to be a woman on the interwebs and on the phone having a long, involved, dramatic, sexless relationship with another guy. Sounds gay to me but those who engage it and those get hooked claim it's not gay. Alrighty then. As best as I can figure it is either about the long term humiliation of another human being or about repressed homosexuality expressing itself in a pseudo, long distance relationship.
