I'm very strongly opposed to the NSA surveillance, and I'm glad that the court ruled against it. I hope the ruling stands on appeal. But I also fear that nothing will stop it. Technology may have the final say — what can be done, will be done.
I hate to admit it, but you may both be right.
Hmmm, just doing things "okayed" under the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, and Defense Reauthorizations Bills; think about it.
Now that you've made it, I can't un-make it either. I think the commercials are clever
and done well ( hey, it IS JEJ and Malcom
Mcdowell after all) but the source of the

Sony to Cut 1,000 Additional Jobs in Smartphone OperationsGrace Huang and Pavel Alpeyev
Sony Corp. plans to eliminate another 1,000 jobs in its smartphone operations as the company cuts costs to try to return the business to profit, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The new cuts will reduce staff in the division to about 5,000 after including 1,000 job losses previously announced by the company, the person said, asking not to be identified because the details are private. The cuts will include Sony's operations in China, the U.K. and Sweden, the person said.
Chief Financial Officer Kenichiro Yoshida is ending the development of new smartphones for China and is culling the number of Xperia models as Sony struggles to compete with Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. The additional cuts are needed to reach the Tokyo-based company's goal of reducing operating costs in the business 30 percent by March 2017.
A spokesman at Sony's mobile phone unit in Tokyo declined to comment. He asked that his name not be used, citing company policy.
Shares of Sony rose 1.6 percent to 2,792 yen as of 9:33 a.m. in Tokyo today. The stock has gained 13 percent this year, compared with a 0.9 percent increase in the benchmark Topix.
The Nikkei newspaper reported the job cuts this morning, without giving attribution. The company is targeting profitability in the business in the year ending March 2017, it said.
Sony in October reported a quarterly loss that was seven times greater than a year earlier as it took a 176 billion-yen ($1.5 billion) writedown at the Xperia phone business and cut its sales forecast for a second time.
The company is ending development of new models for China, the world's biggest smartphone market, and focusing its marketing on retaining customers.

I love, love, love this show.
However, the 5th season missed the mark. It appears that there will have to be another season, wanted one anyway, don't want the show to end. And, as others below are saying, I have had enough of Vic. And, the subtle implication this season that she Should be involved with Walt (if you've watch you know very early in the season where that is) then this show Should end, regardless of what happened in the books.

Following correspondence game played by Simagin elegantly. Annotations made by me without using any engine.
Comments to the game:
After 7.Nc3, instead of 7...Be6, perhaps it is better to castle with 7...O-O, or play the bishop to a better square with 7...Bf5.
Instead of 8.Nge2, normal seems 8.Nf3 and 9. O-O.
Instead of 9...d5, Black sitll has 8...O-O.
After 8...d5, why not 9.cxd5 and 10.O-O.
9...Qd7 doesn't look like a mistake. Black has the choice of castling either side and can now play 10...O-O-O. Stronger may be 9...h5 and 10...h4 for a good kingside attack.
Instead of 10.Na4 (knight on rim is dim), 10.O-O looks more natural. After 10...b6, Black stops the threat of 11.Nc5, posting the knight to a good square. But 10...O-O-O looks OK since 11.Nc5 Qd6 seems strong for Black. White's idea is to play Nf4 anyway.
After 11.Nf4, instead of 11...O-O (giving up the Bishop on e6),perhaps better is 11...O-O-O or even 11...Bg4 12.f3 Be6 to weaken White's pawn structure.
After 12...Qxe6, instead of 13.Nc3 (putting pressure on d5), perhaps better is 13.cxd5 Nxd5 14.O-O.
After a few exchanges and 17.O-O, instead of 17...Rae8, which looks weak (White gains a tempo by attacking the knight on c6), perhaps better is 17...Ne7, then black moving the queen, then playing ...Nd5 for a strong post of the knight.
After 19.f3, 19...exf3?? loses to 20.Bxf3, with a skewer attacking the black queen and the knight on c6 (Rc1 and Bf3 combination).
Instead of 19...Bh6, another idea may be 19...Nb4, threatening 20...Nxa2. If 20.a3, then 20...Nd3 looks strong.
Not sure if 20.Rc3 is the best move to protect the threat of ...Bxe3. 20. Qe1 or 20.Qe2 looks like the better way to protect the e3 pawn.
20...Nd8 looks like a mistake. More aggressive is 20...Nb4, and if 21.a3 (or 21.fxe4 fxe4 first), then 21...Na2 and 22...Bxe3+.
After 23.Bc1, instead of 23...Ref8, perhaps better is 23...Rxf1+ 24.Bxf1 Kg7 and Black may be able to hold and draw. another idea is to play 23...Re6 (to hold the c6 pawn) and if 24.Rxf7 Nxf7 and Black looks OK.
Your note after move 24 is missing a mate. 25.Qxe4 Qf2+ 26.Kh1 Qe1+ Bf1, now not 27...Qxc3, winning a rook, but 27...Qxf1 mate.
Instead of 25.Qe2, stronger seems 25.h4 to allow an escape route for the king, avoiding mate, and threatening 26.Qxe4.
25...Qe7 looks like a mistake. Black should control the f-file with bothqueen and rook, or prevent White from playing Qc4+. 25...Qd5 or 25...Qf5 look better.
27...Rf5 doesn't seem to do anything an a waste of tempo (going back to Rf8 next move). Better may be 27...b5 and force the White queen to move. If 28.Qc3, then 28...Qf6 or 28...Qf7 with some resistance.
31...g5 looks like a mistake. Black can try 31...Bh6 with the threat of 32...Bxe3. Another ideas is 31...Qd7 (or 31...Qd6) and if 32.Bxe4, Black can play 32,,,Qe7 and get the pawn back.
32...Qb4 may be inaccurate (cheap shot with 33...Qe1+). Leave the queen alone and try 32...a5 or 32...c5.
Instead of 33.Kg2, White wins a pawn after 33.Bd7 Rf8 34.Rxf8+ Qxf8 35.Qxe4.
After 33.Kg2, White threatens 34.Bd7, so Black should retreat and pplay 33...Qe7 instead of 33...Qb5.
34.Bd7! now wins. If 34...Rf8, then 35.Rxf8+ Bxf8 36.d5+ Bg7 37.dxc6 Nxc6 38.Qf2, threatening 39.Qf8 mate. If 34...Rg8, then 35.d5 Qxd5 36.Bxg7+ Kxg7 37.Qb2+ Kh6 38.Be8, threatening 39.Qf6 mate.
After 34.Bd7 Re7 35.d5, White threatenins 36.Rf8 mate. 35.d5 Bxb2 36.Qxb2+ Kg8 37.Qf6, threatening 38.Qf8 mate.

Western skier likes one ski quiver
Pros: does everything pretty good - not great
Cons: heavy
Pros: does everything pretty good - not great
Cons: heavy
Pros: Lively, good carver, good in bump and pow
Cons: not a race ski
Picked up a 174cm pair 3 years ago and mounted atomic binders on em, 1 cm forward. I am 6'2 /200lbs. Skied on these for 3 winters already and keep coming back to this pair in my quiver as they are a very fun ski and great on all conditions perhaps with the exception of eastern blue/hard pack. They are a consistant carver and a very durable ski if you maintain them like I do and work especially well on groomers, broken pow, deep pow and soft bumps. I use em on soft bump days at Mary Jane. Took them to Monashee Powder in BC and made the mistake of letting a couple of friends use them and I could'nt get em back for the rest of the trip. Very fun indeed. If your looking for a 1 quiver ski this is it!
Pros: Powerful carver, rock solid at speed, surfs through crud.
Cons: Heavy, damp, not versatile at all.
I demoed the 2006/2007 version in a 174cm and was very, very pleasantly surprised (especially given my general distaste for the K2 feel).
Taking this freight train for a ride was my first experience on a "fat" (back then) ski, and I gotta say.....WOW. It ripped huge trenches on the groomers, powered through crud like it wasn't there, and turned frozen cut-up sun-cured crust into a ballroom smooth surface. They were too wide, heavy, and damp to be any fun in the bumps, and they wanted nothing to do with anything even resembling a short turn (or even a medium turn, for that matter), but I'd hop on this ski in an instant if faced with any type of slush, crud, chowder, or slop. Fun, fun, fun, and without a speed limit in sight!
The 09 Outlaw is now 92 underfoot compared to 88 with last years model. Not sure if I can feel a difference but this model performs really well in all conditions. Haven't had the opportunity to ski any powder but the previous model was great and with the extra width I am sure this one will perform well also. They come in 170, 177, 184 lengths which is a different measurement from last years models.
Pros: Solid feel, great edge grip, no speed limit, crud buster
Cons: does not like a short turn, stiff for a deep snow ski, totally unforgiving
I scored a killer deal on this ski and for the most part is a great ski. For a wider ski, it has tremendous edge grip. It will rail a turn on bullet proof hard pack, you just have to pressure it a bit and hold on. Prefers a medium to long radius turn most of the time and in most conditions. It will hammer through crud and junky snow if you are strong enough to let it rip and stay off the tails. The only snow condition it flailed in a bit was deep snow. It does not want to be finessed like a softer ski would, preferring to move down the hill at a faster speed. Also, the overall stiffness of the ski works against it's maneuverability in deep snow. My ski length is 184 so it's probably a little short for a guy my size (6'1", 223 lbs) in deep snow conditions. Conclusions: First, you may wish you had a softer, wider, maybe rockered ski for the deep days. Second, this is not a ski that wants to wait for a tentative pilot, but if you let it rip, it will have you smiling 80% of the time.
Pros: Beefy through it all
Cons: Bumps and quick turns
Pros: Stable at slow speeds
Cons: heavy, too soft, does not give a lot back
Pros: Good mid-fat performace
Cons: Heavy! Good K2 damp feel can feel sluggish
Got these used -- I have the 2006 model with Look PX12s, my only non-turntable Looks... Have about 5 or 6 full days (lots of mornings, switch at lunch!) on them, and overall they make me feel like a rock star. First day on them was something like 3rd day of the season, and my first run was down the face on windblown crusty pow. I knew I should "warm up" on something easier, but I couldn't help myself, as these cut through beautifully at speed. I am 43, 185-ish, and fairly good shape. (5K = 21 mins.) Ski aggressively, and in bumps or off-piste unless conditions absolutely dictate otherwise. These are not a great bump ski -- weight and width just too much work, especially if you're going for a zipper line. Cruddy or buried-in-a-foot-of-powder bumps are fine! :^) They are surprisingly good railing down groomers at speed -- that K2 dampness again. I ski this at 174, if that's helpful. Lots of ski for 174! I will never give them up, even if I don't ski them every day on the mountain. If it's fresh at all, these are it. If it's tracked up or bumps / groomers only, then my Legend 8000 or 4800 (GREAT bump ski) are on.
Pros: damp and reliable like the rest of the Apache line
Cons: heavy
If you have the Recon, you'll probably like its big brother. Reliable, damp, forgiving. Sucks up cut up powder and crud like a steamroller. Sufficiently good at floating in the powder, while not being a nightmare to control on the groomers should you want to cruise. Not the most peppy ski for those that like that. Needs an aggressive or powerful skier to gets its best performance, not for the tentative.
This review is of the ski prior to the current season, i.e., 06-07 or 07-08. Length of ski is 167 in the "flat" version. Reviewer is female, 57, level 7 skier, skis 60 or more days a year.

Chris Abele to host fundraiser for critic of Milwaukee County Board leaders
Milwaukee County Supervisor Deanna Alexander will be garnering more than just publicity from her emerging role as chief critic of the County Board leadership.
Alexander may also be cashing in.
County Executive Chris Abele is one of three individuals hosting a May 8 fundraiser for Alexander at Spin Milwaukee, a table-tennis social club in the city's Third Ward. The event, which will be held to celebrate Alexander's birthday, runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The freshman supervisor said she turns 32 on May 2.
Those attending the fundraiser are being asked to give up to $500 to her campaign fund. In return, those giving this sum get a gift, photos and a ping-pong match against one of the hosts. Along with Abele, the event is being hosted by former Democratic Rep. Jason Fields and former GOP Supervisor Joe Rice.
Abele, a Democrat, said in an email that he agreed to host the fundraiser even though he doesn't see eye to eye with the conservative supervisor on everything.
"I'm supporting Deanna because I've been impressed with her commitment to a sustainable county and her willingness to make tough decisions to get there," Abele wrote. "We don't agree on everything, but she's always been honest about the opinions she has and graceful in the way she expresses them."
Abele and Alexander have joined forces in supporting legislation that would chop the $50,000-per-year salaries of County Board members in half if approved by Milwaukee County voters in a 2014 binding referendum. A Senate committee will hold a hearing on the bill on Wednesday.
Milwaukee County Board Chairwoman Marina Dimitrijevic opposes that measure, offering instead her own reform package to trim the pay of supervisors by 20% and to cut the County Board budget. Alexander has been a sharp critic of Dimitrijevic's plan.
Alexander said Tuesday that Dimitrijevic originally was to be a host for the event. But Alexander said she later changed her mind about having the County Board chairwoman on the invitation.
"It was based on my disappointment in what I see going on," Alexander said.

Property description
This large unique luxury villa with high wood ceilings and curved archways, provides complete privacy along with stunning unobstructed Pacific Ocean and virgin rain forest views. In real estate parlance, it is called a 10/10. From bird, to whale, to sunset watching, or laughing at the antics of the monkeys that come visit, this will become a vacation experience you will treasure for your whole life. With two large master suites, a third double bedroom, large office, living and dining rooms, there is room to really breath in our home which we call 'Tucan Tango'.
The ocean facing terrace with inlayed ceramic art, offers great options for dining, bird and pool antics watching, reading in a quiet nook, or taking an afternoon siesta. Guests appreciate our summer kitchen for outdoor meal preparation but are amazed by our indoor one. The oversize italian marble cooking island with sit up bar for 4 allows multiple cooks and want-to-be cooks to participate in the meal preparation. To help, we have the best stainless steel appliances, a waist level self cleaning oven, a warmer oven, glass stovetop along with all the mixers, microwaves and mashers you'll ever need.
The bedroom separation gives the Master Bedroom access to an upper floor and private verandah. The oversize, ensuite bathroom and extra large shower is beautifully designed and feels like a spa.
The second Master bedroom, on the ground floor east wing, is also an en suite and has a breath-taking view of the rain forest and the ocean from solid wood carved headstone bed, or from its terrace.
The third bedroom is 30 ft from the second Master and has a private 4 ft walk to it's almost en suite bathroom. It's floor to ceiling windows look out over the back gardens which have flowers plants and fruits ranging from orchids, to ginger, to halyconias and bananas, papayas,pineapples and lemons. Behind them is the rain forest.
Our 'wow feature' is a beautiful, long, curved, tiled, infinity edge pool. It is the largest in the area and stretches along the front of the terrace. It is surrounded by 'corolina', a natural pourous stone that never heats up in the sun and never becomes slippery when wet. Submerged in the pool opposite the infinity edge is a seat for 4 people. There is also a 4 inch ledge that traverses the deep end infinity wall, allowing guests to stand in the deep end as they drink in the sight of the whales spouting or the formations of parrots that noisily give you a private fly past. To top it all, we have installed 'firefly fountains' that spurt controlled fingers of water over the pool that you can swim under, or through and which at night looks like fingers of coloured light. There is also grass to play on or you just sit on the edge of the patio and gaze over one of the most spectacular views on our planet. Don't be surprised when the toucans fly in to the front garden and perch to watch you. Birds, including dozens of parrots, pairs of colourful scarlet macaws and butterflies abound. Howler Monkeys will be your morning alarm clock as well as the signal that the day is coming to a close as you watch the crimson red sun sink into the ocean.
Finally, for additional safety, apart from a security system, we have built a guest house on an adjacent plot far behind the house that houses our groundskeeper and his family.
We have made every effort to make our piece of paradise inviting and welcoming. If you enjoy good architecture, good design, wildlife and nature and want to experience a week in a tropical forest paradise with all mod cons, then look no further.
Some helpful advice for first timers to Costa Rica . Although our long driveway is fully concreted, a 4-wheel drive car is highly recommended year round in SW Costa Rica, as bridges on highways are often washed away and you'll find yourself having to drive through 'irish bridges' in the rivers! Also your adventures to indiginous villages in the hills will take you across creeks and up unpaved mountain roads where a 4x4 is a must. All car rental agencies in Costa Rica rent 4x4's but during December to March they sometimes run out and will try and rent you a cheaper 2x4. Say 'No' and rent elsewhere.
Pura Vida!

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2006
About the owner: Having been a film producer and well travelled, from the Magnetic North Pole to safaris in Kenya, we searched the world looking for a place that had the most spectacular view, teeming with wildlife, flora and fauna but was also warm with gentle breezes and had an indiginous people who were friendly. We found it a few miles from the village of Ojochal,in SW Costa Rica,a politically stable country. We then set about designing a house that was full of curves and arches, cubby holes in the wall for artwork and of course creating a garden of paradise with all types of fruits and flowers. We named it Tucan Tango because in our first dawn, waking up in the house , we saw these two toucans come to a tree ten feet from our balcony and then they started to dance together . Not just a mating dance, but, honestly, it was a Tango! Jane and I have video to prove it!
Why the Owner Chose Ojochal, Puntarenas, Costa Rica:
Stunning views. Abundant wildlife and birds. Fresh fruit from the garden. Largest infinity pool in the area. The people. Warm oceans, political stability and excellent health care, with a major hospital only 20 minutes away. And complete privacy as we have leased the land each side of us too.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Space, freedom from man made noise, inspiring architecture. Where else can you be ten feet from wild Toucans,wild parrots, wild Macaws; or 50 feet from white face and howler monkeys! Or a ten minute drive to swimming in a river with a waterfall, or surfing in the ocean, or exploring caves in an unspoilt paradise shaped coconut kissed beach that is only 20 minutes away! Or live in an unpaved community that still has the three best restaurants, French, Italian and Thai,in the country!

Monk fans might not jump with joy to hear that the Ellis Marsalis Quartet (Derek Douget, saxes; Jason Stewart, bass; Jason Marsalis, drums) has released a collection of Monk tunes. After all, how far can the pianist's elegant swing take the angular material? The high points in this uneven effort make it worthwhile, though, particularly the softened "Monk's Mood," the lively fun of "Rhythm-a-ning" and the harmonically rich and sensitive rendering of "'Round Midnight." Kudos to J. Marsalis for understanding that Monk was just plain funky, and to E. Marsalis for playing Monk's tunes, not bronzing them. (MM)

Hull 6 Fulham 0: Birthday boy Huddlestone gets haircut on the pitch after breaking his 54-game goal drought
Hull midfielder Tom Huddlestone marked his 27th birthday by finally pulling off the hairband that has kept his curly mop in check for the best part of 54 games.
The former Tottenham player had promised himself a haircut only when he ended a personal goal drought that has lasted two-and-a-half years — since April 2011, in fact.
And the barnet banisher arrived in the 67th minute of a City goal romp that left punch-drunk Fulham praying for the referee's final whistle to mark the end of their misery.

Hair we go: Tom Huddlestone celebrates ending his goal drought by getting a haircut

Hull City (4-1-4-1): McGregor 6;
Rosenior 6, Chester 6, Davies 6, Figueroa 7; Huddlestone 9; Elmohamady 8
(McShane 77), Livermore 7 (Graham 73, 6), Koren 8, Boyd 7; Sagbo 7
(Fryatt 66, 7).
Subs not used: Bruce, Meyler, Faye, Harper.
Goals: Elmohamady 49, Koren 60 and 84, Boyd 63, Huddlestone 67, Fryatt 74

Subs not used: Boateng, Riether, David, Bettinelli.
Referee: Bob Madley 6.
Man of the match: Tom Huddlestone
*Player ratings by COLIN YOUNG at the KC Stadium
Hull physio Rob Price jumped out of the dugout and snipped off the first handful of Huddlestone's thatch by way of marking the auspicious milestone.
'It is a little bit of a relief to be getting rid of the hair, and it's just a chance to try different hairstyles rather than just leaving it as it is,' said Huddlestone later.
'The routine with the scissors has been sorted out since the end of last season at Tottenham and I had to wait until today for it to happen.'
He added: 'I have a decent record against Fulham and once it was secure at 3-0 I was trying to push myself on a little bit and, fortunately, I managed to nick a goal.'
Whatever the rumpus caused by owner Assem Allam's plans to rename the club Hull Tigers, there was indeed something tigerish about the way City stepped it up after a lacklustre opening to make inroads into the Fulham defence. And usually it was Huddlestone at the heart of their pressure.
He was clearly the chosen one for set-pieces, be they corner kicks, free-kicks or a receiver of throw-ins. His industry and enthusiasm offered an example which his team-mates were quick and eager to follow.
Huddlestone started it with a 25-yard free-kick which struck the foot of a post with David Stockdale well beaten. But the keeper then reacted very well to palm a close-range effort from George Boyd over the bar seconds later.

The turnaround brought a swift renewal of home pressure — and now there was no salvation for the Londoners.
Huddlestone's delicious through ball gave Yannick Sagbo the chance to pepper Stockdale's goal and the keeper not only pushed away the striker's 20-yarder but then denied Robert Koren's follow-up.
But in the next minute Huddlestone's corner set up Ahmed Elmohamady to stroke a superb right-footer into the left-hand corner with Stockdale, for once, transfixed.
It was now one-way traffic to the Fulham goal. On the hour Koren ran on to Sagbo's pass and drilled the ball past Stockdale from 15 yards. Three minutes later, with Hull now enjoying the freedom of the park, Huddlestone began the move which ended with Jake Livermore setting up Boyd to grab the third with an angled shot.
But it was Huddlestone's goal which raised the KC Stadium's roof. And it was a toss-up who enjoyed it more, the player or the fans. But the finish was precise — a low daisy-cutter from just outside the penalty area, which again left Stockdale stranded.
That was far from the end of Fulham's ignominy. Matty Fryatt, a 67th-minute substitute for Sagbo, made it five in the 74th minute, pouncing after Stockdale had pushed a Huddlestone free-kick on to the bar.
Six minutes from the end Koren made it six with his second after Stockdale failed to cope with a shot from Danny Graham. For once Huddlestone was nowhere to be seen but the KC Stadium crowd rose to their feet to cheer him when he limped off with a triumphant wave in added time.

'The lads applauded him into the dressing room, which doesn't happen very often.'

Persia is one of the world's most ancient states, which in the period between the 6th century BC and the 4th century BC when it was captured by Alexander the Great, occupied a huge territory from India to the Mediterranean Sea and played a key role in Asia. Its location on the Great Silk Route made it a country of fabulous riches and a highly developed culture. This tour will become a perfect continuation of the tour of Uzbekistan, from where the Great Silk Road led to Persia.
For a long time the world of Ancient Persia was closed for foreigners. However, today Iran is willing to demonstrate its richest cultural and historical heritage. The stupendous Shah Cheragh mosque and the blossoming gardens arranged following a description of paradise gardens in the Koran, all located in Shiraz, the grandiose ruins of Persepolis often compared to the Acropolis at Athens, the legendary royal tombs of Naqsh-e Rustam and Naqsh-e Rajab with startling rock reliefs, and museums in Teheran with huge collections are only a few of the great number of interesting objects that can be visited in Iran today.
Pilgrims from Muslim countries come to Iran with the purpose of visiting sacred places, while Europeans are more interested in the archaeological and historical aspect of this ancient land. Feel the atmosphere of ancient Persia full of mysteries and enigmas!

Itinerary in Detail
Day 1. Tehran.
You land in Tehran, Iran's capital. With a population of about 12 million, it is one of the largest cities in Western Asia and Iran's primate city - that is, much larger than any other city in the country.
Tehran has a number of interesting historic and modern sites, even graffiti ones. However, your time in the city is limited, so visiting its most impressive museums - Saadabad Palace Complex (also spelled Sa'dabad), The Carpet Museum of Iran, or The Treasury of National Jewels (aka Jewelry Museum) - is probably the best choice.
Saadabad Palace Complex, built and used by Iranian monarchs (in the 19th century, in the 1920s and 1970s), was partly converted into a museum complex after the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Over 110 hectares in area, the complex consists of 18 palaces (also called castles or houses). Many of them are museums - of fine arts, historical plates, Persian miniature and arts and crafts, calligraphy, anthropology, military, etc. - while the rest house various cultural organizations. Adjacent to the complex is the current presidential palace.
You may opt for visiting the Carpet museum boasting a rich collection of world-famous Persian carpets dating from the 18th century to the present, or the jewelry museum with its stunning Imperial Crown Jewels of Iran (aka Imperial Crown Jewels of Persia) containing bejeweled crowns, thrones, tiaras, aigrettes, swords and shields, separate precious gems, tableware and some unusual precious items.
They say Tehran museums are the best tourist attraction in the city - at least in terms of cultural enlightenment.
Day 2. Tehran - Shiraz.
You fly to Shiraz in the morning.
Dating from 2000 BCE, Shiraz is one of the oldest Persian cities. It was a leading cultural center of Persia in the middle ages. Many renowned scholars and artists, including the famous Iranian poets Havez and Saadi, came from Shiraz. Following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Shiraz was designated the capital of Persian Art, Culture and Literature. The city is also known for its most beautiful gardens.
After breakfast you go on a guided tour around the city. You first visit the citadel called Arg of Karim Khan (also Arq of Karim Khan, Arg-i Karimi, Arg-e-Karimi, Arg-e Karimi, Arg of Shiraz, Citadel of Shiraz, or Citadel of Karim Khan). It was built in the 1760s for Karim Khan, the founder of Zand dynasty, to be his stronghold and living quarters, and it served as a governor's seat and even a prison under the following dynasties. Today the citadel is a museum run by Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization.
Next, you go to enjoy Eram Garden (Persian: Bagh-e Eram), one of the most beautiful Persian historic gardens, and, set in it, the traditional Persian upper-class villa Qavam House (also called Narenjestan e Ghavam), a museum now. Today they are part of Shiraz Botanical Garden under Shiraz University and are a World Heritage Site.
Then you visit Vakil Bazaar (Persian: Bazar-e Vakil), which is considered to be Iran's best. It features a series of impressive vaulted arcades (built in the 18th century) with courtyards, caravanserais, bath houses, and, of course, shops - in two rows. The bazaar is a most enjoyable shopping place in terms of exoticism, atmosphere and prices. Its astonishing range of merchandise boasts an enormous number of local souvenirs and handicrafts, including famous Persian rugs and carpets.
Among several mosques and shrines adjacent to the bazaar stands out Vakil Mosque (Persian: Masjed-e Vakil) built in the mid-18th century by order of Karim Khan. This grand structure featuring exuberant decorative tiles is quite worth visiting as well.
Dating from the 18th century, too, Nasir al-Mulk Mosque (Persian: Masjed-e Naseer ol Molk) or Pink Mosque you see next is notable for its unique pink tiling in the interior decoration, a lot of beautiful stained glass in the façade and striking examples of traditional decorative elements, such as honeycomb vaults and intricate geometric designs.
Day 3. Shiraz (environs).
After breakfast you ride to Persepolis (`Persian city'; Old Persian: Parsa), one of Iran's most interesting locations 70 km northeast of Shiraz. The ceremonial capital of Achaemenid Empire or First Persian Empire (550 - 330 BCE), it was excavated in the 1930s and currently boasts the remarkable ruins of Great Stairway, Gate of All Nations (built by order of Xerxes the Great), Apadana Palace of Darius, Hall of a Hundred Columns, Tripylon Hall and Tachara Palace of Darius, Hadish Palace of Xerxes, the palace of Artaxerxes III, Imperial Treasury, Royal Stables, Chariot House and a number of other ancient structures. The citadel of Persepolis has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.
At a distance of 12 km from Persepolis lies the necropolis Naqsh-e Rustam (also Naqsh-e Rostam; "Picture of Rostam") you head for next. It dates from c. 1000 BCE and features very impressive tombs of Achaemenid kings (Darius I the Great, Xerxes I, Artaxerxes I, Darius II, and Artaxerxes III or Darius III). Carved in a rock face quite high above the ground, these huge tombs are called Persian Crosses for their cross-shaped facades. The site also features notable reliefs of Sassanid kings of the Neo-Persian Empire (224 - 651 CE), depicting scenes of their victorious battles and day-to-day royal life.
The site Naqsh-e Rajab you see next is located at a distance of a few hundred meters from Naqsh-e Rustam. It features rock-face inscriptions and reliefs dating from the early Neo-Persian Empire, including Shapur's Parade celebrating the victory over the Romans in 244.
You also visit the tombs of the famous Persian poets Hafez (1315 - 1390) and Saadi Shirazi (1210 - 1291 or 1292). Translated into many languages, their works are still very popular in Iran and are often used as quotation sources in the country and elsewhere, including the West. Set in beautiful gardens, these sites are Shiraz major tourist attractions.
Day 4. Shiraz - Yazd.
After breakfast you set out for Yazd, located at a distance of 440 km from Shiraz, stopping en route in Pasargadae, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An archeological site today, Pasargadae was the capital of the famous Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, and it is where Cyrus the Great is buried. You see his limestone tomb (dating from c. 540-530 BCE) and learn why it is also called Tomb of Solomon's Mother. You also see most impressive Pasargadae ruins: the audience hall, the citadel, etc.
You arrive in Yazd in the evening and check in at your hotel.
Day 5. Yazd - Isfahan.
Yazd is an ancient city of over 5,000 years of age! And it is probably the most enchanting destination in Iran if perceived as a live historic city as a whole. Thanks to its remoteness from capitals and desert location, it was immune to many major wars during its history. Besides, Yazd has recently resisted modern urbanization and maintained its ancestral construction technologies. Hence it has kept a lot of its traditional desert structures and their charm, with their domed roofs, badgir windcatchers, qanat wells, yakchal "ice pits", etc. According to UNESCO, Yazd is one of the few cities boasting the world's oldest architecture, and the world's largest adobe city.
Yazd is also a traditional center of Zoroastrianism, which the Persians had practiced for centuries before Islam was brought to the region. There are from 5% to 10% of Zoroastrians in the city even today. Yazd has a dakhma tower of silence and a fire temple with a fire that has been kept burning in it for centuries!
After breakfast you set out on a guided sightseeing tour of the city. First you see the Friday-prayer mosque Jameh Mosque of Yazd (Persian: Masjid-e-Jameh Yazd) dating from the 12th century (largely rebuilt in the 14th century). It features two minarets, Iran's highest, and is rich in exquisite faience mosaics. Its tall mihrab (a Mecca direction niche to face while praying) is one of the world's finest.
Next comes the fire temple Yazd Atash Behram. (Atash Behram "fire of victory" is the highest grade of fire a Zoroastrian temple is built to house. Fire temples are named after the grades of fire they maintain.) Today there are only 9 surviving Atash Behrams: the one you see in Yazd and 8 in India. Yazd Atash Behram was set up in 1932; the previous one was converted into a mosque when Arabs invaded the area. A plaque on the temple says the sacred flame in it, brought there from another shrine, has been burning since about 470 CE.
Then you go to see the local "Tower of silence", a dakhma (also spelled dokhma, dakhmeh). By tradition, Zoroastrians used to put the bodies of their dead on top of dakhma towers to be cleaned up by scavengers, then put the bones into ossuaries and stacked them near or inside these towers. Since the 1970s such use of dakhmas has been illegal in Iran, which forced the local orthodox Zoroastrians to adopt new burial methods.
The next site you visit is the beautiful Amir Chakhmaq Complex (also spelled Chakmaq, Chakhmagh, Chakmak), consisting of a mosque, a caravanserai, a tekyeh (a place where Shia Muslims gather to mourn the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali), a bathhouse, a well, and a confectionary. The complex, Iran's largest structure, is renowned for its grand façade featuring three stories of symmetrical ached alcoves.
In the afternoon you leave for Isfahan. As you arrive in the city and checked in at your hotel, you go on a tour of impressive Siose Bridge or Siosepol (meaning "the Bridge of 33 Arches"; also called the Allah-Verdi Khan Bridge) and Khaju Bridge (Persian: Pol-e Khaju) - striking examples of Safavid bridge architecture (dating from the 17th century). Siose Bridge is 295 meters long and almost 14 meters wide. Khaju Bridge has 23 arches and is 105 meters long and 14 meters wide. Functioning as a bridge and a dam, it also serves as a building and a place for public gatherings. Khaju Bridge was recognized as one the world's great "multifunctional" bridges in 2008.
Day 6. Isfahan - Tehran.
With a population of almost 2 million, Isfahan is the third most populous city in Iran, after Tehran and Mashhad. It flourished particularly in the 16th century under the Safavid dynasty when it was Persian capital. Today's Isfahan boasts fine examples of Islamic architecture, including historic bridges over the Zayandeh River (also spelled Zayandeh-Rood, Zayanderood, Zayande River). There is also a Zoroastrian fire temple and a number of churches (Armenian).
Your guided tour of Isfahan begins with Chehel Sotoun (also spelled Chihil Sutun or Chehel Sotoon), a palace in a park, with a large pool before it, built by Shah Abbas II in 1647 for entertainment and reception purposes. The name Chehel Sotoun translates as "Forty Columns", for the 20 elegant wooden columns of the palace and their reflected in the fountain before them make 40. The palace features amazing frescoes depicting humans - contrary to Islamic design rules. They are real historical figures acting in scenes, such as the shah's receptions, and imaginary ones painted to show the great values of love and life.
The next site is Naqsh-e Jahan Square (also known as Imam Square; formerly known as Shah Square; Persian: Maidan-e Naqsh-e Jahan; built in 1598 - 1629), a UNESCO's World Heritage Site. It is the world's second largest square; it is 508 meters long and 160 meters wide. Naqsh-e Jahan Square is printed on Iranian 20,000-Rial banknote.
The square boasts most impressive historic buildings dating from the Safavid times (1501 - 1736): Shah Mosque, Ali Qapu Palace, and Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque. Keisaria Gate on the northern side of the square opens into Isfahan Grand Bazaar.
The grand Shah Mosque (called Imam Mosque after the 1979 revolution) on the south side of the square dates from 1629. It is a striking example of Persian Islamic architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It boasts rich interior decoration, gorgeous multicolored mosaics, calligraphic inscriptions, and iwan entrance vaulted ceiling muqarnas (also mocarabe, honeycomb work, or stalactite work, taking the form of small pointed niches stacked in stairs-like tiers.)
Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque on the eastern side of the square (also spelled Lutfullah, Lutfollah, Lutfallah, Lotf Allah), another masterpiece of Safavid architecture, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, too. Dating from 1618, it is the earliest structure in the square. In contrast to Shah Mosque, which was intended for the public, Sheikh Lotfolla Mosque was built for the shah, his harem and the court. That is why it is smaller and of a different design (no minarets, secret entrance, etc.). And that is why it is even more impressive that Shah Mosque in terms of decoration. Open to the public now, the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque reveals dazzlingly beautiful ornament made exclusively for the shah and his ladies.
Ali Qapu Palace, standing across from Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, is sometimes called the first Iranian "skyscraper". Built in the 17th century, it is 48 meters in height and has 6 stories. It was originally built as a portal - Ali Qapu translates as "Exalted Porte" (chosen to rival "Sublime Porte" of the Ottomans) - to Isfahan royal quarter. The shahs used the palace for administrative, reception and residential purposes, as well as for entertainment. The palace features fine stucco ornaments and very charming frescoes.
When you are done with Naqsh-e Jahan Square, your last site is the grand Jameh Mosque of Isfahan (Friday communal prayer mosque), also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The mosque is one of Iran's oldest, dating from the 11th century. However, it has been reconstructed and renovated many times, so it presents - uniquely - various Persian architectural styles. It is especially notable for its stucco mihrab, muqarnas, and glazed tile work.
Transfer to the domestic airport for a short flight to Tehran. Transfer to hotel and check-in.
Day 7. Tehran. Departure.

Training Workshop on Oyster Harvesting Ends
The Department of Fisheries in partnership with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) recently organised a three-day training workshop for oyster harvesters in The Gambia, which came to an end in Old Jeshwang at the weekend.
Speaking at the opening ceremony on behalf of the FAO Country Representative Perpetua Katepa Kalala, Sirre Njie-Sanyang said the Bivalve mollusks (e.g., clams, oysters, mussels, and scallops) form a significant part of the world's fisheries production. She said FAO estimates that world oyster harvest in 2014 constituted 130,754 tonnes.
Madam Sanyang stressed that seafood constitutes an essential part of the diet of many people in the world and the need for increased production will persist as the human population expands. She added that oyster and cockle fisheries with appropriate harvesting techniques have the potential to increase women's income and harvest yields, and reduce wild harvest pressures.
Therefore, she posited, training of oyster harvesters, processors and traders on improved handling, processing and preservation methods will strengthen their capacity to increase production and reduce post-harvest losses, produce high quality processed oysters/cockles, improve food security and increase income of women.
Madam Njie-Sanyang said the objective of the training is to develop the capacity of men and women fishers to make informed decisions on ecologically sound and environmentally friendly harvesting techniques and improve their knowledge of best practices relating to production, handling, processing, preservation, marketing and trade.
She said it is envisaged that capacities of the women fishers in the oyster and cockle fishery value chain development will be enhanced, such that fishers will become economically empowered to significantly contribute to the attainment of improved livelihoods in their communities by providing the additional income and food security.
Speaking on behalf of the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Fisheries, Mattar Bah said the training programme of oyster harvesters is funded by the FAO under its project for the development of the artisanal fisheries in The Gambia. He said the project has the objective to develop the artisanal fisheries sub-sector through capacity building of fisheries including oyster harvesters in improved fishing techniques, fish handling and processing skills, quality control and fish waste management and community based organisations to be more effective in terms of sustainable resource management.
Mr. Bah said the artisanal fisheries sectors including oyster harvesters have become a major priority area for development in the country. However, he pointed out, there had been grave concerns over the declining performance of this important sector in terms of its contribution to socio-economic development in generating revenue and foreign exchange earnings, contribution to food security and poverty alleviation and improvement of nutritional standards of the population.
He informed the gathering that the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Natural Resources accordingly has undertaken reforms and initiatives including review and update of the Fisheries Act of 2007 and the Fisheries Regulations of 2008 to reflect current realities with strong focus on the sustainable use and management of marine resources.

This is very quick so make it if that is what you want. I made it up for a late night snack. Amounts are approximate.
Ingredients Nutrition

- Wizz together in blender adding more of either yogurt or mango nectar to taste.
- If needed add your preferred version of sweetener but take into account an additional 5 seconds lol.

Most Helpful
It doesn't get much easier than this recipe! If you don't have the actual mango fruit around this is an easy fix to satisfy your sweet tooth while still being a healthy drink. I used nearly fat free natural yoghurt and it worked just fine. Made for vegetarian swap.
It's definitely fast! I prefer the texture from using an actual mango, but this is a nice drink when convenience is more important.
Mango Lassi just could not fail! Made for ZWT6

My dog is struggling with anxiety and can sometimes have seizures where she is very stressed and will not calm down. 4 drops of Rescue Remedy in her mouth and it takes 1 minute before she lies down and relax. GREAT product!
buen producto natural..

Lo estoy usando con mis gatos...y de momento noto algo de mejoría pero tampoco mucha...
Mi gata las adora!

Me atreví a comprar estas flores para mi gata pues había leído buenos comentarios, y debo decir que los comentarios se quedaron cortos, mi gata adora las gotas, tan pronto me ve con el frasquito en la mano empieza a ronronear pidiendo su ración. Siento que mi gata está más tranquila, dado que los gatos no son muy amigos de los ruidos fuertes, ahora que está tomando estas gotitas le ayuda mucho. Ya encargué un nuevo frasco para ella!

I have used this for years an it works - keeps pets calm and also helped me mixing my new rescue pups with my already family cats. Took about a month but everyone gets along. I have not used this on myself - maybe I should. Rescue Remedy to the Rescue.
I liked it!

This has helped my dog with her thunder and lightning issues, she still doesn't like it but she's calmer than before👍🏻
Trusted brand

I do like this brand but it didn't help much for my cats when I moved houses. Maybe I didn't give them in time for the moving, will try to use again in the future
God's product

this medicine helps pets who just lost their home very much. this made them bark less & sleep more comfortable. but needs to repeat intake at least twice a nite.
She seems calmer

This old lady has miliary dermatitis, which apparently is the worst form of feline alopecia. The drops calmed her down enough that after a few days I was able to get her to the vet. Always a problem: right after I got her as a tiny kitten she lost the sight of her right eye in an accident and spent the next three months being toted back and forth to the vet in a carrier, so now she hates it. It was easy getting her there this time.
It's work

Viking Manga Vinland Saga Put on Hiatus
I am sorry to hear this, because I very much enjoy reading Vinland Saga by Makoto Yukimura. It's a beautifully illustrated, historical Viking story involving fierce warriors and family legacies and brave women holding down the homefront. The series was being released in hardcover omnibus editions, each containing the equivalent of two paperback volumes, so each one was a lot of reading to descend into. That may be part of the problem — I'm three volumes behind (there are five […]Read more
