Holiday Overview
Holiday Overview
- Trek across the Shipton La to the south side of Makalu
- Rare mountain views of Everest`s hidden Kangshung Face
- Remote area of the Nepal Himalaya with few other trekkers
- While in Kathmandu, stay at the prestigious Yak & Yeti Hotel
This exceptional Nepalese trekking holiday takes us on a journey to the base camp for Makalu (8481m), the world's fifth highest summit. Makalu base camp is situated at Sherson (4700m), a lovely high grazing area close to the tip of the Barun Glacier, which is surrounded by an awe-inspiring array of Himalayan peaks. The return trek into this remote alpine world is one of the finest in Nepal and is accessed by way of a short flight to the airstrip at Tumlingtar above the Arun River. From here, our trekking route takes us through pretty terraced farmland and a number of delightful villages, before climbing to cross the Shipton La (4229m). At the high points of this classic trekking holiday, the views extend from Makalu to distant Kangchenjunga. We have a full day to explore above Sherson, gaining surprising views of the Kangshung (east) Face of Everest as well as close-up perspectives of the impressive Chamlang and of Makalu's towering South Face. It is important to note that this is a holiday for the connoisseur of Himalayan trekking and those with an adventurous spirit. Tea houses are not as common place in this region and the lodge accommodation we will be using is of a more basic standard than that found in the popular trekking areas, such as the Khumbu. This is one of the only disadvantages of trekking in such a pristine, remote and little visited area. If you are not open to 'roughing it' in this way, we would suggest that this may not be the holiday for you. Please call our office if you have any concerns about this.

Is this holiday for you?
The range of conditions encountered on this Nepal trekking holiday will include well trodden village trails through terraced farmland, sub-tropical jungle at low altitudes, cloud forest, alpine valleys and high mountain passes. The holiday has been given a fairly high grade on account of the remoteness of the area and for its relatively sustained trekking. On average, we will walk for 6 hours each day. Despite the fact that relatively few trekkers visit this area, the paths are reasonably good throughout and we will stay in simple lodges each night. We will encounter slippery forest trails, steep sections of stone steps and, whilst exploring above Sherson, loose scree and boulders. It should be noted that trekking at elevations above 3000 metres is of itself physically demanding. However, this trek should be well within the capabilities of any regular hiker or hill-walker.

Fly to Tumlingtar and drive on a jeep track to the spectacularly located village of Num (1500m).
In the morning we take the spectacular flight eastwards along the chain of the Himalaya to Tumlingtar. Situated on a broad flat plateau on the east bank of the Arun Khola, Tumlingtar lies at an altitude of only 457 metres so it will feel quite tropical. Given clear weather there are spectacular views of Makalu and Chamlang to the north. We set off in 4WD vehicles on a rough road through fields of rice, wheat, barley and potatoes. At the northern end of the Tumlingtar Plateau, we climb a ridge dividing the valleys of the Arun and Sabaya Kholas, to the bazaar town of Khandbari where we stop for lunch. There are shops and simple lodges here. There is also a police checkpost and it is the administrative headquarters of the Barun National Park. From Khandbari, the road continues due north ascending the ridge in a series of switch-backs to the small ridge-top village of Chichila. Continuing our drive, with improving views of Makalu and its satellite peaks, we finally descend to the spectacularly positioned village of Num (1500m), from where we have a good view of our route of the next couple of days. This is quite a long day of travel to get to this remote area. And sections of the road can become very muddy and difficult after rain. Opposite, across the Arun River, and tantalisingly close, is the village of Sedua, our halt for tomorrow. Overnight in a simple lodge.

Trek down to the Arun River. Cross it and ascend via Runruma to the village of Sedua (1493m).
It is good today to leave all mechanical contrivances behind and set off on foot. From Num, we set off down the incredibly steep and terraced slopes towards the Arun River, nearly 1000 metres below. The lower slopes of this narrow valley are densely forested and the paths are quite slippery, as this is a north-facing valley-side that never really dries out. It takes about an hour and a half to descend to the suspension bridge across the torrential Arun, at an elevation of only 670 metres. Carrying glacial melt-water, the Arun is an impressive river. We then start our climb away from the river, stopping off for lunch at Runruma. After lunch, a steep climb takes us up to Sedua (1493m) where we check into our basic lodge and have excellent views south and east to forested hills. Not a really long day, but steeply down and then up.

A shorter day, trekking through terraced fields and contouring around to Tashigaon (2057m).
A short day, as lodges are limited along the ridge leading to the Shipton La. After an initially steep ascent from Sedua, across open terraced fields, the angle of the trail eases off, and we contour around to the village of Tashigaon (2057m). This is the last village on the walk-in to Makalu Basecamp.

Trek through cloud forest and more open country to the ridge-top pasture at Kauma Kharka (3500m).
A longish day today. The first 2 to 3 hours of the day is spent walking through cloud forest. By lunchtime we have reached more open country above the tree line and continue, largely on stone steps and through rocky outcrops, up to the ridge and the first level area since Tashigaon. This is the pasture area known as Kauma Kharka (3500m) which is complete with a basic lodge and tea-shop, selling coca cola. The 1400 metre ascent to this lodge takes 5 hours or so. Ten minutes above the lodge, there is a viewpoint for Makalu.

Time 7 hrs trekking
Cross the Shipton La (4229m) with views of Kangchenjunga and Makalu. Trek down to Dobato (3700m).
From Kauma Kharka, the path climbs through rhododendron forest with views east to Jannu and Kanchenjunga, then suddenly arrives on the ridge at 3700 metres with superb views of Chamlang, Makalu and Peaks 6 and 7. This is the best viewpoint on the day's walk. The rocky path continues to the wonderfully situated tarn of Kala Pokhari, above which steep rocky slopes lead to the Shipton Pass at 4229 metres. From here, we can look across a wide basin to the Tutu La, beyond which the descent to the valley of the Barun River starts. Some 300 metres below the Tutu La is the lodge at Dobato, surrounded by rhododendron forest. There are views from camp across the deep Barun Valley to snowy peaks, the south-eastern end of the Makalu range.

Descent 980m

Descend to the Barun River and follow this upstream to the grazing area at Yangri Kharka (3620m).
The 400 metre descent to the Barun and then 450 metre ascent beside the river to the lodge at Yangri Kharka (3620m) takes approximately 6 hours. The very steep and rocky path below Dobato drops into magnificent silver fir forest and passes the old and overgrown camping place at Mumbuk, before reaching the raging white waters of the Barun River. Up the valley, Peak 7 and Makalu can be seen at times. The route crosses a series of big landslides where there is much boulder-hopping and the line of the trail is unclear in places. On either side of the river there are big cliffs and two prominent caves high up on the valley side are known as 'Lord Vishnu's Washing Rooms'. After traversing a long scree slope, the trail climbs gently and the valley begins to open out. The scenery is superb, with small patches of flower-bedecked alpine pasture, interspersed with lichen-hung spruce trees and rocky crags. The mountain views become increasingly spectacular, especially of the north-east side of the peaks around Peak 6. We stay at the simple lodge at Yangri Kharka beside the thundering river.

Descent 670m

Continue up the valley of the upper Barun River to the grazing area of Lengmale Kharka (4400m).
A short day as we need to gain altitude gradually on our final approach to Makalu. After an initial section, amongst dark stands of silver fir, we find ourselves walking on a trail lined by bilberry, juniper and small rhododendrons. There are many streams to cross and the walk is dominated by the views of the steep pyramid of Peak 7. Also visible are Chamlang, Hongku Chuli and the unnamed 6662 metre peak that lies at the south-eastern end of the ridge running down from Peak 4. Below the snowy peaks are huge cliffs with caves and overhangs and long thin waterfalls running down them. Our night's halt is at another summer grazing area, known as Lengmale, where there is a basic lodge. At an altitude of 4400 metres, we are quite high now and the nights are fairly cold.

A short final approach to Sherson (4500m) the basecamp area for Makalu.
This is a lovely morning's walk, through a high alpine environment, and with the warm colours of autumn enriching the foliage of the trees and shrubs. There is a large prayer wall (mani wall) at Ramara, an hour's walk from Lengmale. We have now left the forest behind, although the rhododendron, berberis, cotoneaster and juniper persist for some time. Rounding a corner, in sight of the Lower Barun Glacier, we reach the grassy outwash plain at the place called Sherson. This is the lower part of the basecamp area for Makalu, at an altitude of 4500 metres. There are a number of basic lodges at this high grazing ground, and there are also outstanding views of a host of peaks, including the upper part of Makalu's south face. We take lunch at our lodge.

Time 3 hrs trekking
A day for exploring above Sherson, with the option to hike up to one of two excellent viewpoints.
There are several options for exploration in this area. (1). North of the camp is a ridge which runs up towards Peak 3, becoming its south ridge higher up. The ridge is steep and rocky at first but the levels out to a wide plateau at around 5100 metres with superb views. Makalu dominates the scene, rising straight ahead and looking huge and forbidding. From the west side of the plateau there are views up the rough valley of the Barun Glacier to Everest and Lhotse. Far below Makalu Basecamp can be seen along with the grey waters of the Barun Pokhari Lake. From the east side of the plateau we can look down to a glacial lake and across to Peak 5, with spiky glaciers running down from it. (2). Another option is to trek up the south-west side of the Barun Valley, climbing to a point high on the valley side at about 5200 metres that gives excellent views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and the Barun Glacier. The summit of Baruntse is also visible from here. The walking is mostly on the rubble and rocks of ancient moraines. En route to the best viewpoint, this excursion leads past various camp sites including the upper Makalu Basecamp which now boasts a tea-house. A narrow rickety bridge crosses the Barun River to access this site. The choice of walk today will be determined by the trip leader and will depend on the prevailing conditions.

Trek out to Yangri Kharka. An opportunity to spot things missed on the walk-in to the mountain.
We begin the walk out, first returning to Yangri Kharka.Although we are returning on the same trail, the views in front of us are quite different and it is amazing how much we didn't see on our walk in just because we didn't turn around!

Today, is a long one, as we descend beside the Barun Khola, before making the steep hour and a half ascent on stone steps to the clearing at Dobato. We then head up to cross the Shipton La, which will seem easier than on our walk-in, as we are now fitter and well acclimatised. We finish today's undulating walk at the lodge in Kauma Kharka.

We start the day with a descent to the hot and steamy Arun River Valley. Crossing the khola we then begin a climb of just under 1000 metres up the ridge on the other side to Num - a real 'sting in the tail' of this trek to Makalu Basecamp.

A long and scenic day of driving back along the ridge via Chichila to Tumlingtar.
An early start for the long drive along the ridge via Chichila to Tumlingtar. If the weather has been dry this will be a straightforward and highly scenic journey. After heavy rain the track can become very muddy and we may even opt to walk sections, in which case we will have a fairly late arrival back into Tumlingtar. We will say goodbye to our trek crew in Tumlingtar.

Fly to Kathmandu. Free time in the afternoon and celebratory dinner at a local restaurant.
We fly from Tumlingtar, to Kathmandu. This is normally in the morning to take advantage of the clear weather, but there is no fixed schedule for these flights and it is not possible to say exactly when we might fly. Once in Kathmandu we check in to our hotel and the rest of the day is free. On this first night after our trek we will certainly have a celebration dinner at one of Kathmandu's excellent restaurants.

In Kathmandu. Half-day sightseeing tour included. Rest of the day at leisure.
Since the flight from Tumlingtar is weather dependent it is important to have this contingency day. If we have flown the previous day this will be a free day in Kathmandu. There is an optional complimentary guided sightseeing tour of some of the the city's main attractions, such as the Buddhist temple at Bodhnath and the principally Hindu temple complex at Pashupatinath. Alternatively, you may prefer to do your own thing, especially if you have visited Kathmandu before. One of the attractions of any visit to Nepal is the chance to walk the streets of Kathmandu, which presents a fascinating mosaic of shops, cafes and restaurants, food markets and street vendors, as well as a bewildering array of colourful temples and shrines of both the Buddhist and Hindu religions. In the evening the group will come together again for a farewell dinner.

A Typical Day
A typical day starts with breakfast at our overnight lodge. After breakfast, porters will be given their loads and the group will set off walking in the pleasant cool of the morning. Lunch usually takes an hour or two and again this is normally a cooked meal. Porters usually catch up with the group during lunch and are well on their way to our next evening's stopping place as we start the afternoon's walk, which is normally shorter than the morning. On arrival at our next lodge, we will be able to get a hot drink. Dinner is ready at around 6 or 7 and this is a great time of day for reliving the events of the trek so far and for general socialising. After dark, the temperature quickly falls and everyone will soon be tucked up in their sleeping bags.
Internal flights
Access to the high and remote areas of the Himalaya where our treks start is often only possible using internal flights. The changeable nature of mountain weather makes flying conditions complex. In addition, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal does not operate to the same standards as those of western nations and all airlines in Nepal appear on the European Commission's list of airlines that are banned from flying into EU member states. Flying in Nepal is an acknowledged risk, and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice provides further details which you can read on their website at: www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/nepal/safety-and-security. KE is mindful of its duty of care to clients travelling with us in Nepal and we were stakeholders in an independent air audit of Nepal airlines undertaken by UK tour operators during 2015. KE uses only four airlines in Nepal which were approved by this audit as safe carriers. These airlines are: Yeti Airlines, Tara Air, Buddha Air and Simrik Airlines. In addition to this both Tara Air and Yeti Airlines have fulfilled the IATA Standard Safety Assessment (ISSA) - a new global safety standard for commercial airlines operating smaller aircraft www.iata.org/whatwedo/safety/audit/issa/Pages/index.aspx. We continue to cooperate with other tour operators to monitor aviation safety in Nepal and will ensure we remain a stakeholder in any further air safety audits. While we have taken appropriate action to try to minimise the risks of flying in Nepal, you should be aware that flying in mountainous terrain is not without any risk.
Please note that poor weather can cause delays on internal flights. If at the start of your holiday internal flights are cancelled for the day, you will spend an extra night near the airport and this may be at a hotel other than the group hotel. On the majority of trips there is enough flexibility in the trekking itinerary to make up 1 or possibly 2 lost days, but alternative arrangements must be made if internal flights are cancelled for a subsequent day. For trips that end with an internal flight out of the mountains with no alternative road access, we have included 2 nights in Kathmandu as a contingency against delay. Helicopters can sometimes fly when the scheduled fixed wing aircraft cannot. If your group is offered the opportunity to use a chartered helicopter, either flying up from or back to Kathmandu, the cost will be shared between those choosing to take this option. In the extremely unlikely event that flight cancellations cause you to miss your homeward international flight, KE will render all assistance, but cannot be held liable for any extra costs incurred. We advise you to take out suitable insurance and to keep your receipts, as you may subsequently be able to make a claim.
Group Leader & Support Staff
Spending Money
Approximately £250 (or equivalent in US dollars, Euros etc.) changed into local currency, should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses including tips for your porters and trek crew. It is not necessary to obtain local currency (Nepal rupees) prior to departure. Sterling, US Dollars and Euros are equally acceptable for exchange in Nepal. We recommend that you carry your travel money in the form of cash, since you will exchange the majority of this on the day of your arrival in Kathmandu. If you prefer not to carry all of your spending money in cash, it is possible to withdraw money from ATMs in Kathmandu. During the trek it may be possible in only a few locations to buy snacks, chocolate, soft drinks or beer. Any such items become scarcer and more expensive as you gain altitude.
Guidance on Tipping
Tipping is the accepted way of saying thank you for good service. Tips do not form part of the wages of your guides, porters and trek crew but they are very much appreciated. It is important to remember that tipping is voluntary and should be dependent on good service. Normally the tips are given at the end of the trek and this is best done as a group. Most groups will give the tips with a bit of ceremony (or sometimes a party) on the last evening, to mark the end of the trip. How much to tip is entirely up to you but we recognise you will need some guidance and we suggest a contribution of £50 - 60 (in rupees) from each group member will provide a sufficient pot to share among your guides and crew. At the end of a trek many people also like to donate various items of their equipment to the porters and trek staff who work so hard to make the trip a success. Boots, gloves, hats, scarves and even socks (clean of course) are always warmly received by the porters. Technical clothing and equipment such as head-torches and trekking poles are highly prized by the Sherpa crews. If you think you would like to donate equipment at the end of your trip, your local trip leader will make arrangements for a fair distribution among the trek crew.
Baggage Allowance
Your baggage on trek will be carried by porters or pack animals. The packed weight of your trek bag whilst trekking should be no more than 15kg (33 pounds). For all flights to and from STOL airstrips in Nepal, the maximum allowance for hold baggage AND hand baggage combined, is 15kg. It is essential you keep the total weight of your baggage within this limit. This weight allowance is normally strictly enforced and excess baggage will be charged. Please be aware that you will have to pay for this at check-in. It is possible to leave clothes or other items not required on trek at the group hotel.
KE Trek Bag
All KE clients will receive a FREE KE trek bag. These have been specially made to stand up to the rigours of adventure travel. Your KE bag will be posted to you when your trip is guaranteed to run or on receipt of your booking if the trip is already guaranteed. If you have travelled with us before and already have a KE trek bag you can select an alternative free gift in the booking process.
This holiday involves going to very high altitude. During the course of your trip you will be spending at least one night above 4000 metres and/or trekking to 5000 metres or above. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but it is important that we follow some simple rules in order to acclimatise successfully. Before coming on this holiday you should read the advice on trekking at high altitude. Unless you have previous experience of trekking above 4000 metres you should consult one of our trekking experts before embarking on this holiday. On this trip we carry a portable altitude chamber (PAC-bag) and/or bottled oxygen for use in emergencies.
Equipment List
The following checklist should help you with your packing. As a general rule, you should always try to keep the weight of your equipment to a minimum. The packed weight of your trek bag while trekking should be no more than 15 kgs. For all flights to STOL airstrips in Nepal, the maximum allowance for hold baggage AND hand baggage combined, is 15 kg. It is essential you keep the total weight of your baggage within this limit. Paying for transportation of excess baggage is not normally an option on these flights. It is possible to leave clothes or other items not required on trek at the group hotel.

The Nepalese are still traditional and conservative in the way they dress. Therefore to avoid embarrassment on both sides we recommend that you respect this and do not wear revealing clothing or sleeveless tops while visiting Nepal. Shorts are acceptable, but they should reach to just above the knee and be modest and for women it is preferable to wear trousers or a long skirt.
Group Size and Holiday Status
For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. 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 for each country that you visit.
Visa Nepal
All nationalities require a visa. The visa fee is $25 for 15 days, $40 for 30 days, $100 for 90 days and is obtainable on arrival. Payment must be made in cash and USD, GBP or Euros are accepted. You will require 2 passport photos.
For all the regions of Nepal that we visit an additional permit is required. This is included in the holiday price and KE will apply for it, with your full passport details and 1 passport photo (sent by post or emailed). You must supply this to us at least 4 weeks prior to departure.
For the following holidays, in addition to the above, we will also require you to supply a copy of the information page of your passport (sent by post or emailed).
These trips are: Kanchenjunga (KAN), Mustang (MUS), Dolpo (DOL), Manaslu (MAN), Hidden Valleys of Naar and Phu (NAP), Naar to Mustang (NTM), Humla and Limi Circuit Trek (HUM), Naya Kanga and the Ganja La (NKG), Yala Peak and the Ganja La (YPGL), Tent Peak (TPK), Ramdung and Parchemo (RAM), Mera Peak, Island Peak and the Amphu Labsta (MIP), Island Peak Climber (IPC), Peaks and Passes on Nepal (MTR); Mera Peak Climb (MER); and Chulu Far East & the Tilicho La (CTL); Tabsar Peak and the Tsum Valley (TVC), Mukot Peak (MKP).
Transit via India
If you are travelling via India (Delhi or Calcutta) to your destination you may also require a visa for India. This may apply even if you are not leaving the airport unless your baggage has been checked all the way through to your destination. Generally, if you use the same carrier for both legs of your journey, you will not need an India Visa. Please download the detailed information document: Visa PDF India.
Health & Vaccinations
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.
The unit of currency in Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee.
Electricity Supply & Plug
We recommend you check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items at:
Preparing For Your Trip
It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a trekking holiday getting some additional exercise. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. For this trip you need to be aerobically fit and also comfortable with walking up to 7 or 8 hours each day. We would suggest that you adopt a weekly exercise regime. Regular walking in hill or back country is the best preparation for a trip like this but if this is not possible, running and swimming are good for developing better stamina. Regardless of your exercise regime, before departure, we suggest that you try to fit in a number of long walks in hilly country.
Know before you go
As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign & Commonwealth Offices 'Know before you go' campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas, and we recommend that all KE travellers take a look at the FCO Travel Advice for their chosen destination on the official FCO website: www.fco.gov.uk. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.
KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates direct from the FCO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.
October through to May is the best time for trekking in Nepal. These months outside of the summer monsoon season offer the best conditions for trekking. Pre-monsoon from March to May is the time to see the colourful blooms of the rhododendron at lower elevations. The post-monsoon months usually offer the clearest skies and the most settled weather. You will encounter a wide range of daytime temperatures during your holiday from approximately 25ºC in Kathmandu to approximately 14ºC at 3000 metres, and approximately 3ºC at 5000 metres although the 'real feel' temperature in the middle of the day will be much warmer. At night in the rarefied air the temperatures plummet. You can expect to experience overnight temperatures below freezing once above approximately 4200 metres and at our highest overnight stops, outside temperatures may drop as low as minus 15ºC. Extended periods of rain or snow are very unlikely outside of the monsoon period but short-lived storms can and do occur.

villa & jan transfer window!
great win against villa! enough of the positives already!
the 1st half again highlightes our big problem.
if teams just defend we rarely even create a good chance.
we still need to work out how to score against teams who sit back & defend.
the 2nd half villa attacked us more & that is when we are at our best. we need that space to be able to be effective when attacking.
we still miss a modric type player too. if dembele gets injured we are stuffed in the middle of the park again.
moutinho or banega in jan!
great to see parker on the pitch again. he is a good option for us.
& also sandro works his socks off so could do with a rest now & then!
up until his recent injury, Dempsey was much improved & becoming a good reliable player for us.
& now sig has been much improved in his last few cameos.
good movement to set up the bale 3rd goal yesterday.
unlucky with a great header against stoke.
good play to set up 1 of the goals against Fulham too.
dembele & vertoghen have been good all along. & lloris looks like a good solid keeper.
so looks like all 5 signings have improved our team & squad.
friedel here for another 2yrs Is a good move.
good back up to lloris.
in jan we need a playmaker & another strong striker.
playmaker is the priority.
ideally id like another LB like baines.
so im going to say this-

I really can't see us David Moyes allowing Baines to go this coming window, and I'm sceptical about us having any chance of signing either/both Llorente & Moutinho, though I'm happy to be proved wrong naturally.
More likely are potential short-term loan signings - though who they might be is anyone's guess.
Of far more concern is the rumour about Benny going, if those doing the rounds have any traction - though naturally I sincerely hope they're total cr@p.
Steady on SB, you almost sound pleased we won, lol
I agree with your in's for jan, plus Willian, but I fear we wont break the recent habit of not spending big in jan, much as we need too.
also agree with the out's, cant see harry wanting any of those though ( maybe hudd's ) so dont know who would want them. your priority target's are spot on imo playmaker followed by striker, then full back option's.

Nvidia Thinks Big With Plans for Futuristic Campus
Nvidia has a pretty high profile among videogame fans and those who follow the chip world. Soon, though, many people may remember the Silicon Valley company for its distinctive headquarters.
The company Wednesday announced a plan for a new corporate home across the street from its current offices in Santa Clara, Calif. The campus will have two futuristic glass buildings with a distinctive shape based on the triangle–the underlying geometric building block used in computer graphics, Nvidia's longtime specialty.
Jen-Hsun Huang, the company's CEO, says the buildings will mark Nvidia's 20th anniversary this month, and are a response to the fact the company's existing facilities are "bursting at the seams" with employees. But there's considerable symbolism involved in the project, he adds.
"It will stand at the intersection of science and art, just as our work in visual computing does," Huang writes in a blog post. "It will be the symbol, the physical manifestation, of our vision for the company."
Nvidia is not disclosing how much it will spend on the buildings, each of which has 500,000 square feet of space. The design comes from Hao Ko, a young Harvard-trained architect at Gensler "who shares our values and drive to perfection," Nvidia says.
The first building is expected to be occupied in July 2015; the second will be built when growth requires it, a company spokesman said.

Hello Bush Whackers!
As some of you might have already heard, we've recently decided to institute a cap on the friend whacks you can receive. This is due to the fact that as our game has risen in popularity faster than expected (thank you!) we've discovered that the friend whacks system is imbalanced, and has reduced the challenge of the game to the point that friend whacks, and not energy, have become the primary currency that some of our players use. This was never our intention, so we have had to institute a cap to balance the system so energy is once again the preferred currency.
Total friend whacks will now be limited to 100 per week, effective 12:01 a.m. on Monday, November 26th.
We understand that limiting the friend whacks will be frustrating to some players who have grown used to using the original unlimited system. We've been striving to hit a balance that's best for the game mechanics and still provides a good experience for our players, and we think this new system proves to be a good compromise between those two goals.
If you have any concerns or questions about the new friend whacks system, please let us know.

Declared Monuments in Hong Kong - Hong Kong Island
Water supply in Hong Kong before 1860s mainly relied on primitive sources such as wells and streams. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the continual increase in population and the accompanying city expansion had placed a great pressure on permanent provision of fresh water resources which accelerated the construction of reservoirs. The first water supply scheme was mooted during the time Sir Hercules Robinson was the Governor of Hong Kong from 1859 to 1865. Completed in 1863, Pok Fu Lam Reservoir is the first ever-built reservoir in the territory.

The Richmond High boys soccer team was expected to run through the Tri-County Athletic League's Rock Division, but after some up and down results early this season, that wasn't exactly happening.
So Wednesday's league clash with El Cerrito was very important to the Oilers, and they played like it with a 3-0 home win over the Gauchos.
"We've tied against some teams that we should have beat because we're a talented team," Richmond captain Erik Montes said. "We played pretty well today, but we could have played better."
Montes had a hand in all three goals for Richmond (4-2-4, 2-0-2 TCAL) as he assisted on the two first half goals, then scored in the 75th minute. He split the El Cerrito (2-8-0, 1-2-0) defense, got one on one with the keeper and put the ball away in the bottom left corner.
The Oilers jumped on the Gauchos right away, scoring in the fifth minute on a Juan Rivera goal. Jorge Alvarez made the score 2-0 with a goal in the 29th minute.
Richmond threatened to score more goals on several different occasions, but Erik Gonzales had six saves, several of them very good, to keep El Cerrito in the game.

When first heard is sounds like a childhood dream of innocence, but two lines disturb me:I wonder why my daddy cries.I get headaches in the morning.Is the protagonist in this song actually going to make it to the age of five, or is there some ailment that is going to stop him, is that why his daddy is crying?She's so swishy in her satin and tat,and her frock coat and bippety boppety hat
i put these lines into google and got directed straight back to tw!as i didn't know the song well i didn't realise the two lines weren't related> I wonder why my daddy cries.bowie, born in 1947, would have had parents who directly experienced the war and thus that line is self-explanatory (to me)> I get headaches in the morning.well he sounds such an active kid, both in imagination and body etc, that he probably does things like read under the sheets at night when he's sposed to be asleep, which could give him headaches : stuff like thattues night syd time - great tennis - roddick and saffin, 3rd set, one each
I always took the "I wonder why my daddy cries" line to suggest the innocence of the not-yet-five-year-old from who's perspective we hear this song. This boy is convinced all in life will be so much better if only he attains that magical age of 5. As if the difference between 4 and 5 were the difference between childhood and adulthood. (He observes he can't currently walk in the May Day Parade "'cuz I'm only 4 and grown-ups walk too fast"--as if a five-year-old can really hang with the grownups).But he is puzzled as to why his daddy cries. He is not aware of real pain in the world. He is so single-mindedly convinced that life will be rosy after he grows up (i.e., in his head, he's a "grownup" at 5!). Yet he sees his father (who's way older than five), crying. That just doesn't make sense to him, 'cuz he's only four and doesn't understand the real pain that exists in the adult world. As for the "I get headaches in the morning" line, I'm apt to agree with the theory that he's just a hyperactive little boy and may not always get the rest he needs, so he awakens often headachy and groggy.Isn't this such a lovely song? I just love it to pieces, especially the last "when I'm . . . ." that fades off into a yawn instead of the full world "five," as though our little boy falls off into sleep during his little prayer to that "photograph of Jesus" that he can just have his wish and be a five-yaer-old.But the daddy's crying is interesting, because it tells us that this little boy's problem load will surely not get lessened as he ages. In fact, unbeknonst to him, things will get worse. Growing up sucks, doesn't it? zigbot
I, for one, side with pablo's view that there is a more sinister undercurrent here. A 4-year-old who regularly (I presume) has headaches in the morning, then there is something wrong, right? Then you have to be hyperactive in a pathological sense.Are we completely sure of the lyrics here? It couldn't be anything else than "I get headaches in the morning", could it?It could also be, that Bowie was a hyperactive child who was plagued by headache as a little child himself and, when he wrote this lyric, didn't reflect very deep but just included it as one of the typical features of four-year-old-hood that he could think of. I don't know. Another thing... Bowie did not want the song to be reissued on the Deram Anthology. Is that just because it's too silly ... or - in line with pablo's theory - too personal?
In reply to: I wonder why my daddy cries and how I wish that I was nearly five When I'm fiveI will catch a butterfly and eat it and I won't be sickWhen I'm fiveI will jump in puddles, laugh in church and marry my mumAnd I'll let my daddy do the washing-up If I close one eye, the people on that side can't see me I get headaches in the morning and I rode on Freddie's tricycleAnd everywhere was funny, when I ran down to the sweetshopThen I fell and bleeded-up my knee and everybody soppied me
I wonder why my daddy cries and how I wish that I was nearly five When I'm fiveI will catch a butterfly and eat it and I won't be sickWhen I'm fiveI will jump in puddles, laugh in church and marry my mumAnd I'll let my daddy do the washing-up If I close one eye, the people on that side can't see me I get headaches in the morning and I rode on Freddie's tricycleAnd everywhere was funny, when I ran down to the sweetshopThen I fell and bleeded-up my knee and everybody soppied me
There's the lyrics, the headaches one is buried between two happy thoughts, but it is there like a deadly undercurrent.It was Strange this wasn't allowed on the Anthology album as it was the only officially released song which wasn't (although there are longer edits of Space Oddity and Ching-a-ling which weren't either). All three tracks are available on the Pickwick CD reissue of the LYTT album). I also think it is strange that Bowie was still singing and demoing this song as late as 1969, when, if you listen to it, it seems like a derivative of "There is a Happy land", even sharing some of the melody lines.Going back to my original point though, most of the Deram material had a darker meaning when you scratched the surface, when on first listen it just seems a jaunty sixties style album. Beatle boys, all snowy whiteRazzle dazzle clubs, every nightWish I'd sent a ValentineI love you
That's how the lyrics are written out on TW, but I doubt that there exists an official printed lyrics endorsed by Bowie. (Not on my copy of LYTT!) English is not my mother tongue, so I wonder whether it's possible that the line can have been misheard by whoever transcribed it?Let me restate my theory about why Bowie resisted the reissuing of WIF (which has only been officially released on the LYTT soundtrack, and in a cover version by the Beatstalkers, right?). The lines we are discussing may in fact hint at some deeply personal details of Bowie's childhood and he didn't want that released on CD, that's my little theory.
That it is written about something personal sounds feasible to me. Even before reading the lyrics I always thought it was headaches and there is no other English words that would fit.Oh, except for Haddock, and kippers are more traditional for breakfast Beatle boys, all snowy whiteRazzle dazzle clubs, every nightWish I'd sent a ValentineI love you
Fascinating post there Pablo,Those lyrics now you mention them in that way!,They do seem to have a dark undertone to them,When i first heard that that track,I just thought it was a child of a certain age wishing he was older(as we all did),Now the reverse is in order lol.It could be that the child is just experimenting with emotions( although a tad young to be that specific). I can remember being sunburnt when i was four years old,But thats it,To be able to remember feelings etc...Suggests to me a more deeper meaning?.Take also into consideration these words are being written by a song writer of Bowies talent,So maybe we are allowed a little bit of poetic license?.And i had'nt realized it was'nt on Anthology until you mentioned it!. I once read a review of Anthology on Amazon and it described these years in Bowies song writing as "Listen with Edgar Allan Poe",As opposed to "Listen with Mother",A review i found funny but somewhat disturbing also.What is that Pickwick CD you mention Pablo please?.London Bye Ta-Ta...
It's the only cd issue of the original Love you til tuesday soundtrack (1984 release), It however is different to the vinyl in the following ways...Space oddity is a lot longer (most instrumental pieces on the end, nothing new just extended)Ching-a-ling is the unedited version with Bowie's verse at the beginning, whereas the filmed version is just hutch and hermione on the verses with Bowie on the choruses.Sell me a coat is the DB 1967 version without the feathers overdubs on the top.They changed the cover too, with a 1966/67 picture of bowie looking like a young paul weller (this was around the time of the britpop explosion that this cd was released) surrounded by loads of clocks. it was released about 93 and is long deleted. Beatle boys, all snowy whiteRazzle dazzle clubs, every nightWish I'd sent a ValentineI love you
Thank you very much indeed,I can see im gonna have to go hunting yet again to find that,I also never realized there was all these different versions from the 1960s,Apart from from whats on Anthologies 27 tracks.I've seen the CD called London Boy,But i take it the versions are exactly the same as on Anthology?.London Bye Ta-Ta...

Cross Stitch an Antique Bicycle
We are completely enamored with The Antique Pattern Library and its collection of free antique and vintage embroidery and other needlecraft patterns. The only vexing issue is which one to choose first, and the temptation is to embark on a triathlon of sampler making. I may start with D.M.C.

The Calgary-based and oil-industry-funded Friends of Science is still foundering about, denying the science of climate change and embarrassing itself by trying to overstate its connections to the University of Calgary.
The good folks at SourceWatch have done a great deal more work on this file, including documenting the efforts that the university's External Vice-President Roman Cooney has made to distance the institution from this very unscientific organization.
There's also a lovely new (to us, at least) website called FriendsofScience.ca (the toxic original is FriendsofScience.org).

Once again this quote comes to mind
"Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!"
Sir Walter Scott, Marmion, Canto vi, Stanza 17.
I hope the CCRA is busy doing an audit of the whole bunch of them. Seems to me that they are breaking every rule in the "charitable donations" book.

how come?
That is very surprising, considering that their main representative Tim Ball received 5 (FIVE) death threat e-mails (well, negative in tone, at least). We know that this is a certified true fact, because this claim was published by hundreds of bloggers and news services. They can't all be wron… !?! HOLD IT. The FOS-deniers say that when you see a consensus, it means it can't be true. Well, now we know.

"Tim Ball's testimony -US House Subcommittee on Climate Change"
Slides: www.ff.org/centers/csspp/docs/20070321_ball.ppt
From the talk:
"The explanation for that melting is primarily given my these factors, which is called the Milankovitch effect, and interestingly enough, this is not included in most of our textbooks across North America today, I've checked them out. What it shows in the lower right, is the orbit of the earth around the sun, as an almost circular but slightly eliptical orbit. That's the situation right now. But the orbit is changing every single year, pulled by the gravitational pull of the planet Jupiter, and what you see on the lower left is the orbit of the earth as it was 22,000 years ago, an extreme ellipse. So the orbit is changing every single year. And in the center of the diagram you see that the tilt is shown at 23 and a half degrees. It isn't; it's just close enough for government work, but it also constantly changes from 21.4 to 24.8, …" etc., etc.

I decided to see which textbooks do not include it, but just looking at my shelves, I was unable to find any that don't at least mention it. I assumed he meant ice ages and paleoclimate (I also assumed he meant current or recent), since that is what he was talking about at the time.
I searched others on the web. Milankovitch, yup. Milankovitch, yup. Going farther afield - climatology; biogeography; weather and climate; general earth science - yes, it is still there. Maybe it is missing from others that he knows about.
Then I realized that maybe he means ALL textbooks used in North America, including accounting, sociology, religious studies, drafting, music, political science, bread-making, Nietchsche, Kirkegaard, soil biology, DNA, truck driving, etc. If you include ALL North American textbooks, I agree that Ball is correct in claiming that presentation of Milankovitch is included in only a small proportion, i.e., the ones that concern climate, or ice ages.
Everyone needs at least one great discovery.

We had a great stay!!! VERY close to the beach and a nice pool area. Perfect size apartment for 2 adults and 2 children. Host was also very friendly, no problems at all.
good flat in good location. respect to other place in mallorca, port d'alcudia is more quiet. the flat was clean and with all services you can need within 100 meters (groceries stores, tabacs, restaurants and so on). the beach is within 30 meters. this accomodation is reccomanded.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very nice hotel, well equipped and quiet, but not far to the center of Cala Ratjada and the sandy beach of Cala Agulla and Cala Gat. Overall, everything is as described. We could complain about anything negative during our stay and this property will definitely recommend it.
Sehr schöne Unterkunft, super ausgestattet und ruhig gelegen, jedoch nicht weit bis ins Zentrum von Cala Ratjada sowie zum Sandstrand Cala Agulla und der Bucht Cala Gat. Insgesamt ist alles wie beschrieben. Wir konnten bei unserem Aufenthalt nichts negatives bemängeln und werden diese Unterkunft definitv weiterempfehlen.
Very great apartment! Great location right by the sea, with a beautiful and large terrace with sea views. Large rooms, well-equipped kitchen ... completely matched the description and our expectations!

We spent a week there. 5 women. The apartment is really well equipped and the distance to the sea is a stone's throw!
Cleanliness and the interiors are just super!
I am a very critical traveler, but I found nothing negative :-)
Sehr zu empfehlen!
Wir waren eine Woche dort. 5 Frauen. Die Wohnung ist wirklich super ausgestattet und die Entfernung zum Meer ist ein Katzen Sprung!
Sauberkeit und die Innenausstattung sind einfach super!
Ich bin ein sehr kritischer Urlauber, habe aber nichts negatives gefunden :-)
Very nice, well-kept house / garden. Ideal for families with children as the property is completely closed. There is a very large stone slabs space - ideal for playing. The house is situated in a cul de sac. Parking is moderately present. The neighbors friendly and quiet. The place is relaxed, very clean !!! and there are many Spanish citizens. A couple of very good restaurants, a grocery store with fresh fish / meat counter, hardware store, tobacco shop are available in town.
Sehr schönes, gepflegtes Haus/Garten. Ideal für Familien mit Kindern, da das Grundstück komplett geschlossen ist. Es gibt einen sehr grossen Steinplatten Platz - ideal zum Spielen. Das Haus liegt in einer Sackgasse. Parkplätze sind massig vorhanden. Die Nachbarn freundlich und ruhig. Der Ort ist entspannt, sehr sauber!!! und es gibt viele spanische Einwohner. Ein paar sehr gute Restaurants, ein Supermarkt mit Frisch-Fisch/Fleisch-Theke, Haushaltswarenladen, Tabakgeschäft sind im Ort vorhanden.
