For almost 2 months, applying the Emu Gold Oil has actually healed rashes and caused blemishes to vanish. I feel very comfortable even using it on my scalp and it has NOT caused any adverse reactions!
Priced right
Posted by Krisinsight on Jan 07, 2009
I just used this in a chemical free face lotion and the lotion soaks in very nicely and feels really nice on my skin. I will buy again from iHerb.
Posted by Reviewer2355170 on May 10, 2009
Pretty fast delivery. 3 wks usage so far.This is like a very thick whitish oil (it thins out when it's warmer). I like this oil. I've put it on my skin as a moisturizer during the day, especially when I have dry skin & it soaks in real nice. I guess if you have oily skin this isn't for you. I also put it on at night. So far I haven't noticed any smell like some have said & as for my skin I think it has had a difference as it feels & looks smoother (no dry patches). A small amount does the job so it will last me awhile before my next order.

Lead Output in China Surges to Monthly Record as Imports Slump
Lead production by China, the world's largest metals consumer, advanced to a record in August, as imports slumped and demand remained robust.
Output of the refined metal gained about 5.1 percent from a month earlier to 404,000 metric tons, the statistics bureau said today. That's a monthly record, according to Jiang Donglin, Shenzhen Zhongjin Lingnan Nonfemet Co.'s research department manager. Production expanded by 2.4 percent in the first eight months to 2.65 million tons, the bureau said.
Lead, the second-worst performer on the London Metal Exchange after zinc, has fallen about 9 percent this year on concern that weaker growth in China, budget cuts in Europe and unemployment in the U.S. may derail the global recovery. China is the world's biggest producer and consumer of the metal used in batteries.
"Battery demand was good as auto sales remained strong," said Jiang. "We expect second half consumption to moderate."
China's lead output may exceed 4 million tons this year, Zhao Cuiqing, director of the lead and zinc department at the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, said at a Shanghai conference on Sept. 11. That compares with 3.9 million tons last year, when production gained 16 percent, according to statistics bureau data.
China's imports of lead tumbled 92 percent to 10,847 tons in the first seven months of this year, according to customs data. The country may add 600,000 tons of smelting capacity in the second half of this year, data provider Shanghai Metals Market said at the same conference. Three-month lead futures traded at $2,205 a ton at 1:54 p.m. in Singapore.
'Slightly Oversupplied'
"Production capacity is increasing and the jump in domestic output helps to offset the decline in imports, leaving the market balanced to slightly oversupplied this year," Shenzhen Zhongjin's Jiang said.
China's passenger-car sales to dealerships increased 18.7 percent to 1.02 million units in August, compared with 13.6 percent growth in July, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said Sept. 9.
The country's industrial output and imports accelerated last month, adding to signs that economic growth is picking up even as government curbed credit growth and property speculation and closed energy-intensive and polluting factories.
Still, China's lead and zinc demand growth in the second half may slow from the first half, China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association's Zhao said without elaborating. This is in line with a Aug. 26 Ministry of Commerce forecast, which was for slower consumption growth in the second half compared with the first half as car sales expand at a reduced pace.
Global Surplus
Global refined lead output was 763,300 tons in June, exceeding usage of 752,100 tons, the International Lead and Zinc Study Group said Aug. 24. The Lisbon-based group expects global consumption to be 9.3 million tons and production to be 9.41 million tons this year, it said in April.
The surge in China's lead output will not trigger more exports of the metal and its products as the government is determined to control domestic energy consumption, said Zhao.
Higher output means greater demand for producers like Henan Yuguang Gold & Lead Co., the country's biggest, to hedge their risks, according to Soochow Futures Co.
"Trading volumes for lead on the London Metal Exchange aren't big, so we may see lead futures in China go the way of zinc, with domestic prices leading international prices," said Soochow's trader Jia Zheng.
China may introduce lead futures as early as December or before the Chinese New Year vacation in 2011, Zhang Yisheng, vice chairman of the China Futures Association, said at the conference.

Following up on last Sunday's post of books by folks appearing at the Wild Goose Festival, here's a gallery of selected CDs by some of the musicians who likewise are expected to show up at the first Wild Goose Festival, to be held in North Carolina this coming June 23-26. What excites me about this list is how eclectic it is — quite a variety of folks, and not just the usual suspects that you would expect at a "Christian" festival. With the likes of T-Bone Burnett, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and Michelle Shocked due to perform, I might even be able to coax my agnostic brother and sister-in-law to come! I'm particularly excited about Steve Lawson and Ric Hordinski, both of whom do truly wonderful ambient style music, on bass and guitar, respectively.
Imagine the opportunity to hear — and interact with — these music-makers, along with a few thousand other creative, visionary, and justice-oriented people of faith. Throw in some great conversations, opportunities for artistic expression, and creative worship experiences, and you have the Wild Goose Festival. I hope I'll see you there. To learn more, visit the website or just go ahead and buy your tickets already!

Senior Bowl quarterbacks ready for NFL audition
Updated: January 25, 2013, 3:36 PM ETAssociated Press
MOBILE, Ala. -- Quarterbacks at all-star games have tough assignments.
The six Senor Bowl signal callers will be playing off cliff notes of a new offense, throwing to unfamiliar receivers and taking snaps from a new center in Saturday's NFL showcase. And they'll all do it from under center, not the shotgun for those more accustomed to the spread in college.
All the while with dozens of scouts, coaches and NFL execs studying their every move on and off the field. Not that anyone is ...

Author Info
|Russell Hoban
|Encouraged to draw and paint as a child, Russell Hoban eventually went on to write and illustrate children's books, many with his first wife, Lillian. However, he also enjoyed writing, and has written several novels for adults. "Riddley Walker" is the most acclaimed of these novels, winning the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Nebula Award, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, as well as the Australian Science Fiction Achievement Award.
|Garth Williams illustrated several classic books for children including STUART LITTLE and CHARLOTTE'S WEB, both written by E. B. White, as well as all the books in Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" series. Williams and his family moved around a lot during his childhood, giving him the opportunity to live not only in the United States, but also Canada and England. Upon reaching adulthood and returning to the United States, Williams tried to get a job illustrating for "The New Yorker" magazine, but his artistic style was considered too "European." However, it was "New Yorker" contributor E. B. White himself who suggested that Williams illustrate STUART LITTLE. In addition to illustrating the works of other authors, Williams also wrote and illustrated his own books, such as THE RABBITS' WEDDING.
From the Publisher

First she has a glass of milk, then she makes sure that both her parents have kissed her goodnight (twice), and then she says she can't go to her room because there just might be a hungry tiger or giant up there waiting for her. Will Frances's parents ever get their daughter to sleep? Illustrated with drawings.

|Editors Note

What "red flags" or symptoms point to an increased risk for diabetes?
Reader Stories
There are indicators of problems in blood sugar metabolism that can be seen years before the development of overt diabetes. Physicians in the field of endocrinology are now routinely looking at these indicators in patients who are high risk for developing diabetes.
Irregular menses (menstruation)
There is an association between the lengthening of the menstrual cycle and the risk for developing diabetes, particularly in obese women. In a national study of nurses, those who had a cycle length of greater than 40 days were twice as likely to develop diabetes then those who cycled every 26 to 31 days. The association is thought to be related to polycystic ovary disease, which is also known to be associated with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance may be a precursor for type 2 diabetes.
Impaired Fasting Glucose
By definition, diabetes is associated with a fasting blood sugar of greater than 126 mg/dl. There is another group that has been identified and referred to as having impaired fasting glucose. These people have a fasting blood sugar value of between 110-126mg/dl. The main concern with this group is that they have an increased potential to develop type 2 diabetes when compared to the normal population. The actual percent increase varies depending on ethnicity, weight, etc.; but it is significantly higher, regardless of absolute numbers. In addition, it is known that people with impaired fasting glucose also are at increased risk for heart disease and stroke.
Inflammatory Markers
The role of inflammation is an area of extreme interest in regard to disease development. For example, in recent years we have begun to understand the importance of inflammation and heart disease. We now know that inflammation may play an important role in the development of diabetes as well. An inflammation marker known as C-reactive protein has been shown to be increased in women at risk for developing the metabolic syndrome, and in both men and women at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
Other Risks
Other risks for the development of diabetes include endothelial dysfunction (abnormal response of the inner lining of blood vessels) and retinal artery narrowing (narrowing of the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye).

Waits, Vermont, US
|Usual Difficulty
|II-III (for normal flows)
|10.5 Miles
The Waits River is located in a wooded valley in the northeastern portion of Vermont. The overall description covers the entire boatable section from the town of Waits River through Bradford Vermont, approximately 11.5 miles. There is a three mile section that is of most interest to boaters located about a mile below the Waits River town put in.
At the town of Waits River take a left (if coming from the south) at the white spired Church. The put in is located at the bridge crossing a short distance down the hill.
The first mile of river is narrow and rocky if the water is low, it passes farm fields on both sides of the run. After the first mile the river passes under the Vermont rt 25 bridge. This is a more desirable put in for a sportier run. It is located approximately 10 miles from interstate 91 exit 16 just a half mile past the Northeast Slopes ski area. GPS location 44° 4'38.60"N 72°15'33.52"W.
There is a good put in on river left downstream of the bridge.
The river here continues the its rocky nature but then starts to transform to ledge drops about a mile further downstream. A dairy farm borders most of the river right through this section so you will have plenty of bovine spectators. As of mid 2013 there was a left channel strainer/beaver dam that presented some difficulty, take the right route if possible. There were still some strainers in this section to avoid.
After this problem section the river drops back into a more secluded section away from the farm fields. Ledge drops start becoming more common. At first starting out small (1 ft) then building to 2 and 3 foot drops. Many of these drops have very nice play holes (or sticky nightmares) at the bottom depending on water level. The last slide in this section drops 4 to 5 feet over a length of about 20 ft. A few more small ledge drops come up to a snowmobile bridge then continues to a convenience store/gas station and bridge. Hedgehog brook enters from the left just past the Corinth bridge. The river widens considerably here. Two more small river wide ledge drops come to a convenient take out on river right for this section. It is located at a good turnoff about a third mile downstream of the bridge. For those seeking the most challenging section of river this is the place to take out. Located approximately 6 miles on route 25 from exit 16 on interstate 91 at gps coordinates 72°12'59.42"W 44° 2'58.47"N.
The river flattens out of a couple miles then passes under the route 25 bridge. Once it passes under another local bridge class I and II rapids continue for approximately 1 mile. More occasional class I and II rapids occur downstream to the take out in Bradford but the frequency diminishes as you paddle downstream.

Mark Lacroix
On August 28th, 2011 Hurricane Irene struck New England. The resulting floods caused extensive
damage throughout the region, the worst in over 100 years. More than half the rivers in Vermont and
northern New Hampshire recorded their highest flow levels ever. Many roads, guardrails, power
lines, bridges, trees and other debris now litter several rivers throughout the region. River beds
have been scoured and changed course, many new strainers make navigation problematic at best and
downright dangerous at worse. Please realize that the river description you see here may not match
current situation after the floods. Use common sense and when in doubt scout especially on blind
drops. Also, if you run this river in the next year or so please comment on its navigability, even
if there are no problems this will be very helpful. Please report any new strainers or changes to

President Obama is coming to California [1] to help raise money for Sen. Barbara Boxer, who already has more than $8 million on hand. The president has to do this; Boxer's seat is critical to the Democrats hopes for hanging on to a majority in the Senate,and Obama will pull out all the stops in this fall's campaign to help Dems in tough races.
And while Boxer's not going to get an easy pass, she's still the front-runner -- whatever the polls may show, she's always been a great campaigner and has overcome tough odds plenty of times before. And unless Tom Campbell pulls it out in the GOP primary, she's going to face either Carly Fiorina or Chuck DeVore, and both of them are too far to the right for California.
But there's another key race this fall where Obama could also be a huge help. I think San Francisco D.A. Kamala Harris is going to win the Democratic primary for attorney general, but in the general election, she's going to get hit hard by the GOP dirt machine. It's going to be death penalty [2] and cop killers [3] all day long. Harris is tough, and knows what's coming, but I can guarantee that race will be nasty, mean, dirty, ugly and as negative as you can imagine.
And Harris is going to need to raise a lot of money to fight back.
Now let's remember: Harris was one of the first California elected officials to support Obama for president. She was the co-chair of his state campaign. And this fall, he could return the favor by making a visible endorsement -- and by coming to town for a major Harris fundraiser. The president of the United States can raise $5 million in one night for a candidate -- and that kind of boost, along with the positive press it would generate, might make the difference.
Of course, Obama, who (sadly) won't come out against the death penalty, will have to take some hard questions and a few hits himself, in a tough national election year for Democrats, if he gets to close to Harris. And she' s enough of a pragmatist that she'll understand if he ducks this one.
But he really shouldn't.

I've lived in the Lake District for nearly 30 years, sixteen of those in this wonderful old house. I work from home for book publishers, and take photographs, including weddings, in the between times. I'm fortunate to live in a place where simply walking out the door can be a sensuous adventure every time. I have watched my wonderful family grow up here and move on, and so there is space in my house for you, my guests.

MNGOP scandal: "Smoking gun" email suggests alleged recount scheme was just the beginning
Said Mike Dean: "I'm greatly concerned that all this redistricting money is coming in to influence elections, from both sides, and there's no disclosure."
SEE ALSO: MNGOP: Alleged recount debt conspiracy could mean jail time for Sutton, dissolution of party
An email obtained by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board suggests the MNGOP's alleged illegal financial shenanigans might not have been limited to the effort to pay legal bills stemming from the the 2010 gubernatorial recount.
The January 2011 email, from then-party chair Tony Sutton to former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice and longtime MNGOP supporter Eric Magnuson, implies Sutton envisioned a similar "circumvention" scheme to help cover costs associated with the then-impending redistricting effort.
Here's the email:
As The Uptake reports, two days after Sutton sent the email, a group called Minnesotans for a Fair Redistricting filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State for registration as a nonprofit corporation.
The New York Times recently reported that a St. Louis-based drug benefit company named Express Scripts gave $10,000 to Minnesotans for a Fair Redistricting last year. Brian Henry, spokesman for the company, which has a facility in Bloomington, said the company donated because the "electoral maps in Minnesota were in doubt and we supported efforts to bring certainty to Minnesota voters."
But the Times' report, combined with the Sutton-Magnuson e-mail, suggests the MNGOP may have been illegally raising funds for the redistricting battle. As Common Cause's Mike Dean explained, it's unlawful for the MNGOP or any political party to set up a for-profit or non-profit corporation that accepts undisclosed corporate contributions and then uses the money for party purposes.
"What happened with [the recount], also happened with redistricting," Dean told City Pages. "There's a pattern when the Minnesota Republican Party was trying to get around the ban on corporate contributions to political parties with these shell organizations."
Intentionally trying to obscure the source of money used to fight the redistricting isn't something just Republicans were up to, Dean added.
"Dems were doing this too," Dean said. "It's something I'm looking to reform in the future. If redistricting is going to happen in the courts, we need to figure out who is paying for it."
Dean added that his focus, for now, is on the criminal complaint he just filed in connection with the recount case. He plans to spend more time looking into how the redistricting battle was funded after the election.
"People don't make political contributions out of the goodness of their heart -- they're expecting something in return" Dean said. "This particular email provides an opportunity to shine a brighter light on this."

Management Information Systems and Analytics (MISA)
The option in Management Information Systems and Analytics allows students to develop core competencies and skill sets in information systems. The program exposes students to business systems and management principles, providing them with a sound knowledge of information technology (IT) and its application to the business environment. It prepares students to become recognized information systems professionals with solid foundations in information systems management with knowledge of best management practices and recent IT developments.
The Honours BCom with option in Management Information Systems and Analytics is available in CO-OP.
Sample Courses
Business Simulation, Business Data Mining, Emerging Topics in Management Information Systems, Systems Analysis, Development and Performance, Business Communication Networks, Digital Enterprise Systems and Strategies
Student Activities
The Management Information Systems Association attracts students in management and from other faculties to organize all sorts of events and activities linked to the MIS program.
Career Examples
Business systems manager, Software developer/tester, Information and process analyst, Network architect and Chief information officer
What do you like most about the management information systems program?
MIS is the perfect combination of business and IT and with today's increasingly technology-dependent market, knowledge in these two fields is essential. Also, I've always enjoyed being challenged and MIS definitely does that. It is my personal belief that it is through challenges that you grow. This makes this program even more rewarding.
Describe your favourite first-year professor.
Every professor is different, but I have yet to meet one who did not want to help me. My favourite first-year professor was Richard Blute. I was lucky enough to have him for two of my math courses. He is an excellent teacher. There is a difference between a teacher and an educator and he is a teacher personified. He really knows how to convey subject matter so you understand it. He was always available for any questions and really made you feel like he wanted you to succeed.
Are you involved in any extracurricular activities?
A year ago, I was responsible for logistics for the Telfer Business and Technology Conference with the Management Information Systems Association (MISA). It was a great experience. I got to work with amazing students and professionals in addition to organizing a memorable event. This opportunity provided me with not only professional contacts but also good friends.
In what ways do you feel that your uOttawa education is preparing you for your future?
My education at the University of Ottawa, and specifically in management information systems, is opening more doors than I had imagined possible. Just in terms of employment, I am being prepared for not only management positions but IT positions as well. Double the job market of other programs!

Jen n Jeff
the lent procession passes our hostel
How many months left? Or are we counting in weeks now? Uh-oh, time for some country skipping. On the chopping block were Honduras and El Salvador. Well, technically we passed through both on a 2 day bus ride, and stopped in San Salvador for the overnight break in the trip. Despite its reputation as a ridiculously dangerous capital - not to mention the machine gun guards every 2 metres - we found San Salvador almost pleasant, and enjoyed our conversations with the few Salvadorians we met (ie. a couple of taxi drivers and a waiter).
And then the next morning the bubble was broken. Trying to get money out of an ATM in Guatemala we found that we had 'insufficient funds'. Tried another bank. Same thing...Uh oh.. It turns out, somehow, somebody in San Salvador had managed to clean out Jen's account of 1000 big ones. We're hopeful that the bank will cover this but are STILL waiting to hear from them... And so this definitely put us in a very bad mood for a few days, but hey, this aint the place to dwell on that.
In and Around Antigua
Upon arrival in the pretty colonial city of
wandering the streets
Antigua we realised that we had our usual good luck of arriving in town on the day of a big party or event. This, being one of the several Sundays during Lent, meant many of the streets were closed off, lined with mats of leaves and a massive procession of hundreds of youths all dressed in purple robes. From the rooftop of our hostel we had a great view as the procession grew to include massive wooden sculptures being carried along the street as marching bands providing the soundtrack. It was pretty funny noticing a few of the traditionally robed youths listening to their ipods as they marched!
We also had the fortune on that first day of noticing that there was a pub trivia night going down at the extremely gringofied Irish pub in the middle of town. Without Dawson nor any other passers by to drag into our team we were only 66% of the magic sausage team which went undefeated through South American pub trivia games. And sadly, we must have been missing some key ingredients as we only managed a middle of the road forth placing. But nevertheless it was still a very enjoyable night!
and this isn't even the Cathedral!
The next few days in Antigua were spent trying to sort out our financial situation and generally just wandering about town. All the buildings in central Antigua are very pleasant to the eyes, as are the cobblestone streets. It was about our third day in town before Jen finally clicked with 'you know what, I think I've been here before. Yep, I have, I remember drinking a coke on that street corner!' And so we saw (or re-saw) the sights of town, but soon enough we had had enough of this extremely touristy town. But we couldn't leave town until we had done the day trip that everyone in the hostel was raving about...
Volcan Pacaya
Now Jen had also been to Volcan Pacaya 6 years earlier in 2004, however the first view of the volcano had Jen questioning her memory. But then as we began climbing through the forest, our guide explained how there was a massive eruption in 2005 which had changed the shape and dynamics of the volcano. As we went up the hill, several local entrepenuers were trying to rent the services of their horses - or 'taxi natural' as they called them -
with just one of the 3 nearby volcanos in the background
for the climb. The second you began panting, or stopped for a rest you were mobbed by a group of them shouting 'good price, good price'. One particularly unfit couple (not us!) were hounded the entire way, and eventually gave in as the steep climb took its toll.
Finally we made it to the wide expanse of the lava field, with a sea of black, crumbly rock in front of us. We began walking across it, careful not to fall and shred ourselves on the ridiculously sharp rock beneath. Then the wind began to pick up, and we were clearly getting closer to some vents of the volcano as the air became thick with smoke, choking us with the horrible smell of sulfur. It was about here that questions began to arise within our minds, like 'is this really a sensible thing to do?' But onward and upward, until all of a sudden it was getting quite hot, and what the hell is that orange glowing underneath us???!!!
Thats right folks, they let you wander freely up as close as you like to flowing lava on an active volcano. A quick scan of the faces of other people
Volcan Pacaya
they ain't joking with that sign!
on our group showed that we weren't the only ones extremely concerned by the situation we had just willingly walked ourselves into. Strong winds full of sulfur and smoke pushing you off balance as you try to step from one sharp crumbly ledge of rock to another, over holes of orange death below! One false step and you'd lose a leg, if not your life! And so we got out the marshmellows, put them on our sticks, and roasted them to perfection in the lava flowing beneath us. Quite tasty! But worth the danger of the situation? Perhaps not.
By now the sun had set and we were up on an active volcano with the wind and the lava and now it was dark. Well, at least it made the lava glow a brighter shade of orange, meaning that we could see it more clearly now underfoot. It was about now that I also realised that the heat of the lava and rocks had done some serious damage to my shoes. So slowly, step by step with shoes falling apart we made it back to the safety of the grass, all the while being distracted by amazing explosions of
Volcan Pacaya
lava beneath us, just a misplaced step away!
lava higher up the volcano in the distance. Amazed and extremely glad that we survived the adventure!
Trekking in the Highlands
Heading out of Antigua we experienced our first ride in the Guatemalan version of 'chicken buses'. Here, we hypothesised that perhaps the chicken name comes not from people carrying chickens on board as usually thought, but instead by a little game our driver seemed to be playing with every oncoming vehicle as he pulled out into the other side of the road to overtake. Seriously, this guy seemed to enjoy spending more time on the left side of the road than the right! But thankfully we made it to the halfway stop of Santa Cruz del Quiché where we enjoyed some good cheap meals, people watching in the main plaza and a good nights sleep. Then back out onto another chicken bus (much the same story) to Nebaj.
In Nebaj we strapped our walking boots back on for a 2 day hike we organised with Guías Ixiles (www.nebaj.com) - a co-operative of highland guides. For about 40 bucks each they organised a great deal for all involved. We got a great, cheap tour; a local guide got
Volcan Pacaya

some work; and several very poor villagers who put us up for the night and feed us some basic meals got a bit of cash for their very kind hospitality. The walking itself was also great, though at times very challenging. Heading out of town we were soon heading in an upward direction into some beautiful cloud forests, where the view was well, cloudy. But after a while we came to a clearing and our guide Jacinto pointed out across the valley the route we would be taking over the next day and a half. Down, then up, then down, then up and up some more, and down and up, up up up up!
And even that first downhill section proved to be difficult. Our knees and hips were jarring, and all of a sudden we didn't really have a track to follow anymore. Despite having a guide we had all managed to get a bit lost. So it was bush bashing down even steeper sections trying to find the trail that we lost, trying to avoid fences of barbed wire as we went slipping and sliding on the leaf litter all the way down. With that, we came
Volcan Pacaya
sure the lava was moving slowly, but should we really be allowed to get this close???
to the bottom of the valley, walked along the river and refound our intended route. Then the up began!
About halfway up the massive climb we stopped for lunch in a one-street village. As the father of the household came out to greet us we noticed all the kids run and hide. Slowly but surely one brave kid after the other would poke their head through the doorway or window to see who these bizarre and scary white-skinned guests were. We smiled and waved, but this was usually enough to send the kids into spin and off they would run in a mixture of laughter and fear. As we rested after lunch the kids began to reappear and before long realised that we weren't so scary, and if anything we were just plain boring as we attempted to recuperate for the next uphill climb. So saying our thankyous and goodbyes, it was off uphill once again. One step after the other in the afternoon heat we continued, enjoying amazing views over pine filled valleys down to a gorgeous river. Along the way we asked Jacinto if the kids are always so bewildered when gringos came hiking through, and he
Volcan Pacaya
Jeff shows of his melted shoes
revealed that we were actually taking a different route to most hikers in the past. So for some of the kids we were possibly the first foreigners they had ever seen - and what a hot and sweaty first impression we must have made! Occassionally Jacinto would also stop and chat at certain households. It turns out that Jacinto was killing two birds with one stone, so to speak. Up until 1996 the area we were walking in was ravaged by the Guatemalan civil war. Jacinto now holds a role with a human rights group assisting some of the victims and also helping investigations into attrocities carried out by both sides during the conflict. Of course we were more than happy to oblige to the occassional rest break whilst Jacinto stopped here and there for a quick chat with people. Jacinto was also kind enough to share with us his own personal experience of the war, in which he lived and fought in one of the remote villages from the early 70s all the way through to the mid 90s. Really full on stuff!
At night we stopped in another small town. As Jen and I took a small
Santa Cruz del Quiché
The punchline - 'I believe it's pronounced 'quiche...'' Well here its more like 'ki-che'
sunset stroll through town one-by-one kids began to come out of their houses to look at us. Again, scared and wary at first, but as we turned to walk back to our house for the night, we realised we had a following of about 15 little ones, all walking at a safe distance behind us. A few followed us back to our house where we all sat on the grass and sang songs. 'We all know frogs go la-di-da-di-da' proved quite a hit, with the kids requesting it time and time again. Now as these kids only spoke Ixil, and not Spanish, we were unable to tell them - after the 24th rendition - that it was time to stop. So on and on it went!
That night we slept on some wooden planks with pillows made of our kind family's spare clothes. Being up high in the mountains it got quite cold in the night. Luckily we had each other to keep warm, unlike poor Jacinto who told us in the morning how cold it was being 'soltero' on such nights in the highlands.
A pre-6am rise the next morning, walking for a couple of hours, then
white knuckle fever on highland buses
breakfast in a household in another town, thankyous and goodbyes again, and then back to the walking. By the middle of the day we were undertaking our final long section of descent, ahead of which lay one of the hardest climbs of the walk, and the finish line. In one of those moments of fate, Jacinto asked us 'do you want to take this 30m steep shortcut, or walk 100m along the normal way?' We opted for the former and as I reached the end of this shortcut, forgetting that Jen was still a bit of a way behind me, I began thinking, 'shortcut, yeah! good choice!!'... And then I turned to the sound of Jen slipping and tumbling through the final steps of the shortcut. Jen sat herself up, clutching at her ankle.. It was bad news. Unable to stand on it, let alone walk, and on a mountainside miles from the nearest road we were in a pickle of a situation. Jacinto's pulling and prodding of the ankle didn't really help, and we got the impression that he thought Jen was being a bit soft by not carrying on. Eventually when it became clear that she wasn't able
a danger we face on a daily basis
to move he kindly offered to head back to the last village we had passed and check out our options for evacuation.
About half an hour later a couple of young kids emerged from the trail behind us, leading a 'horse'. Well it was a horse, but it wasn't a particularly old horse, nor was it particularly large. As it was market day, all of the village horses capable of carrying anything of size were off at the markets, and this poor creature was the only option left for us. And so we boosted Jen up over a cardboard saddle and the evacuation began. A ten year old girl leading Jen and her mighty stead, followed by the five year old sister (there with a stick to make sure the horse didn't stumble down from the steep narrow track), and Jacinto and myself. The rest of the downhill climb was fine, though the horse did stop for a particularly long drink at the river. Then the evacuation party continued on into the final, massive uphill assault. After about 15 minutes (and just about equal intervals thereafter) we all needed a long rest. Well actually no, I needed a long
the advertising brochure!
it worth reading the finer details sometimes
rest, and more importantly the poor little horsette needed a rest too - Jen, Jacinto and the young girls had barely raised a sweat!. So pull Jen down from the horse, sit down for a bit, then put Jen back on the horse and we're off. After what seemed like an eternity to me, we finally made it to the top of the hill and to the road. We paid for the horse and thanked the girls (though they didn't speak Spanish, our present of a pack of choccy biscuits seemed to translate well enough) and waited for the next van to pass through.
Back in Nebaj we thanked Jacinto for sharing all his stories and organising the evacuation and wished him all the best for his human rights work. As Jen hobbled back to our hotel, the medical suggestions began to flow. First an old woman told us to put it in hot water and vinegar, and then somebody suggested a massage and then our friendly hotel owner gave us some strange ointment for it. The next morning we took Jen's newly acquired tennis ball to the doctor where he thankfully confirmed that no bones were broken, but
the trek
for 'el ligamento' the news wasn't so good - a partial tear. Complete rest for seventy-two hours, some cream, some pills and a jab in the bum should fix the swelling and get you on your way. Thanks doc!
And so, after the prescribed 72 hours Jen limped to the bus terminal, whilst I struggled on carrying all our bags. Sore, but by no means broken, we were heading out of the lowlands to see some one of the great wonders of the Mayan world.

Sapphire Princess Cruise Review by eulea: Not the time to go to Hawaii

Compare Prices on Sapphire Princess Hawaii Cruises
Not the time to go to Hawaii
We decided to do a round trip cruise to Hawaii. We'd never been there and thought it might be a good way to see the islands to see if there was one we wanted to spend some time on. We went in Jan 2013. Yes, I know it's winter. We spend at least two weeks each winter in the Caribbean and have cruised there several times as well as through the Panama Canal. That said, we loved the cruise but didn't love the weather.
I realize the ocean is not the same as the Gulf. I had thought we'd have some sun on the days at sea. Unfortunately only one day was sunny so I came home without any tan. It was also cool enough that I didn't like sitting in the outside areas on the ship. So the weather, especially the day at Pearl Harbor when it poured down rain, was not what we expected. Fortunately when we were whale watching it was lovely.
We enjoy Princess cruises. This one was no exception. The ship, although a little awkwardly laid out we thought, was up to Princess standards. The More crew, as always, was exceptional. I was disappointed in the shopping on board as I thought the selection wasn't as good as in the past. We've never been disappointed in the entertainment or dining.
Other than the weather this cruise lived up to everything we've come to expect from Princess. I'm choosing not to do port reviews since I can't keep the Hawaiian names straight. Less

Originally from Poland, I've been in Japan since 2012, currently I'm a student of Political Science. I've been travelling since I was little, seen a big chunk of Europe and USA plus a little bit of Asia and Australia.
Besides travelling, I enjoy watching documentaries and reading books, in my studies I try to focus on mass media and how it works within society. I enjoy discussions with people different than me, because I feel like those are moments you tend learn the most.
On a lighter note, I'm a singer and a part of a local musical group. I started singing pretty late but I enjoy it nonetheless :)

Hostel MostelSofia, Bulgaria
Great place run by awesome & passionate staff. Have a deep understanding what travelers look for. The privates are about 5 min away from the main hostel. The road facing rooms in the privates could be a bit noisy. However not at all an issue if you are a sound sleeper or can sleep with ear plugs:)

A brilliant place to stay in Nara. The couple that operate the place are lovely. Make you feel at home. If staying thee, dont miss the breakfast - its awesome. The walks around Nara are awesome.

They need to change the mattresses or cover them with a thick cotton bed sheet- makes too much noise while sleeping on them. Whoever decided to get them covered in plasticy material is a genius - makes one feel as one is on a warship or on haystack every time one turns even an inch on the bed

Hedonist HostelBelgrade, Serbia
Amazing hostel - great staff and facility. Landed at 630 in the morning and the staff was so great that they allowed me to check in and allotted a bed in 5 minutes. Excellent location. Only thing I could ask to improve is to provide breakfast even if with additional payment - provides opportunities for travellers meet and chat up. However, they recommend a brilliant cheap restaurant for breakfast..
SunnyLakeHostelOhrid, Macedonia
A brilliant hostel competing for the Top 10 small family run hostel in the world. This hostel is run by passionate dedicated lovely family and shows in the travellers they are able to attract. The words usually here from other backpackers - if in Ohrid only Sunny lake. We were 20 backpackers from 9 countries, each crazier than the other and great fun laughing away to glory in good spirit. Story of the hostel on most nights.

Claude Giroux injures finger in golf accident, out five to six weeks
More NHL offseason: Rumors | Top 50 Free Agents | Buyout Tracker | Trades | Transactions
Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux was injured while golfing in Ottawa in what sounds like a freak accident. The Flyers confirmed the 25-year-old forward had successful surgery on his right index finger in a statement Thursday evening. Giroux is expected to miss five to six weeks.
"Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux had successful surgery this afternoon on his right index finger performed by Dr. Katherine Boyd at the Ottawa Civic Hospital in Ottawa, Canada. Giroux was golfing today when his golf club shattered and splintered into his index finger. Although there were no broken bones, there was some damage to his extensor tendons in his finger. He is expected to have a full recovery in 5-6 weeks."
In the wake of the injury, there were multiple reports that it was Giroux's surgically-repaired wrist that was injured in the accident, sending social media into a tizzy. So things at least aren't as bad as initially believed, but a five-to-six week recovery will force Giroux to miss the preseason. That time frame still should allow Giroux to be back for the season opener, however.
Giroux is obviously a guy Philadelphia can't afford to be without for long. The team's star averaged a point-per-game last season with 13 goals and 35 assists in 48 games.

Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter were $0.40, compared to $0.31 for the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 diluted earnings per share were $0.70, compared to $0.56 for the first six months of 2013.
Financial results for MidSouth Bank, acquired by Franklin Synergy Bank on July 1, 2014 are not included in second quarter results.
"The second quarter was another strong quarter of strategic execution for our bank. We remain on target for soundness, profitability and growth," noted Richard Herrington, Franklin Financial Network president. "The growth in net income was even more impressive considering that second quarter earnings were impacted by non-recurring costs related to the bank's recently completed acquisition of MidSouth Bank in Rutherford County. This is our twenty-second
consecutive profitable quarter at Franklin Synergy Bank, and our results demonstrate that the core earnings of our bank continue to grow."

thousand for the first quarter of 2014. Significant loan growth during the second quarter, with $38.6 million in loans added, drove the increase in provision for loan and lease losses during 2014.

Centos 5.1 now with Network Install
Centos, a distribution based on the GPL'd sources of Red Hat Linux is following in its role model's footsteps and has just gone to version 5.1.
Writing on the Centos-Announce mailing list, Karanbir Singh says that the major changes relate to standardization of upstream repositories. This will make package management easier for end users. Users can now bind external repositories when installing Centos, and this is the first time that the Centos developers have offered the free RHEL as an ISO image for network installation.
Centos (Community Enterprise Operating System) comprises the GPL'd parts of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RHEL packages can be used directly by Centos (binary compatibility).
The new version of Centos 5.1 follows the version change to the upstream distribution, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), version 5.1 of which was recently released. Details of the changes to Centos 5.1 are available in the release notes. Centos 5.1 currently supports the i386 and x86_64 platforms with Power PC, Sparc and 64 bit Itanium (IA-64) to follow at an undisclosed future date. After downloading, the developers advise users to verify the MD5 or SHA1 checksum of the CD image. An FAQ and documentation is available on the project website.

1910 -- Nap Lajoie, in a batting race with Ty Cobb, collected eight hits for Cleveland in a season-ending doubleheader with the Browns. The hits were somewhat tainted, however, as St. Louis third baseman Red Corriden played back as Lajoie bunted safely six times. Regardless, Cobb was awarded the batting title by a fraction of a point.

One of the best parts about Amazon River cruises is the ability to experience the river while acting as a part of it. Cruising upstream during an Amazon River tour, guests aboard the Aquamarina discover the wealth of wildlife both on and off-shore — like gray and pink river dolphins.
You might also like:
Venturing into Caro Lake on International Expeditions' Amazon River tour, visitors are likely to spot some of the 13 species of primates that call this region home. Looking closely after the monkeys, however, offers an interesting opportunity for birders. Trailing behind are often flocks of greater ani, a distinctive black bird.
South America's Amazon region is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, and Amazon river tours can give travelers a chance to see the natural beauty of the region first-hand. The entire region is considered to be endangered, primarily due to industrial companies clearing the land of forests to use it for profit, but the positive effects of preservation efforts are starting to be seen.
Paragominas, a Brazilian municipality roughly the size of New Jersey, was once the site of rapid deforestation, losing its forests faster than any other area of the Amazon. However, the Brazilian government in partnership with The Nature Conservancy has put a stop to illegal deforestation and turn Paragominas into a "Green City."
The Nature Conservancy has been working since 2009 to end illegal deforestation in the Amazon, and recent efforts by local government officials have managed to accomplish the task in Paragominas.
The The Amazon Medical Project was founded in 1990 by Dr. Linnea J. Smith, M.D., who took her first Amazon rainforest tour with IE. The clinic supports the Yanamono Medical Clinic in the remote Amazon basin of northeastern Peru by providing primary care, involving locally trained people and encouraging preventative medicine. The following is Linnea's November newsletter to friends and family.
Dear Clinica Yanamono Family, Friends, and Well-wishers –
Protecting and conserving the Amazon, a place two-thirds the size of the U.S., is a big job. At International Expeditions we're thrilled to have teamed up with WWF for years to provide conservation focused nature travel to this precious region – and to other destinations within Peru. And it's a special honor to wish a happy anniversary to our travel partner WWF as they celebrate 50 years protecting the world's wildlife and wild places.
South America is different from its northern counterpart in many ways, but this will be especially apparent to stargazers or amateur astrologists searching the night skies. Nights on IE's Amazon River tours offer plenty of time to admire the stars of the Southern Hemisphere. Some of the constellations seen in these areas are seasonal but others are circumpolar, so they can always be spotted.
While much of the Western world has shed the religious associations of Halloween in favor of focusing on pranks, costumes and copious amounts of candy, as you travel around the globe you can find a number of fascinating ways to celebrate one of the world's oldest holidays.
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University recently found the oldest fossils on the South American continent along the banks of the Ucayali River, an offshoot of the Amazon River.
The fossils, which are at least 41 million years old, are the teeth of mouse and rat-sized animals that experts say are most closely related to African rodents. They are from the suborder Caviomorpha, which means they are related to living species such as guinea pigs, chinchillas and New World porcupines.
Brazilian scientists reported finding a new river in the Amazon basin that they estimate is the same length but nearly 100 times as wide, The Guardian reports. Lead researchers Valiya Hamza and Elizabeth Tavares Pimentel of Brazil's National Observatory presented their findings at the International Congress of the Society Brasiliera Geophysical in Rio de Janeiro.
