Wesleyan Sacred Harpers around the world
Mar. 31, 2011 by amaggio
You've heard of the Wesleyan Film Mafia, right? But what about the Wesleyan Sacred Harp Mafia?
Although nobody really knows the full extent of the network, Sacred Harp singers from Wesleyan seem to have spread themselves at least from Massachusetts to Georgia and from Connecticut to Ireland and France. If you had been in Cork, Ireland, in early March you would have gotten a good sense of this agglomeration at the First Ireland Sacred Harp Convention.
I arrived at the convention expecting to sing my voice hoarse and to meet lots of singers from Ireland and the U.K. To my delight, what I found was a meeting of not only Sacred Harp singers, but also of Wesleyanites! The convention was held at University College Cork, and was organized by Professor Juniper Hill, a Wesleyan alumna. Professor Hill invited Wesleyan's Neely Bruce to give a lecture and co-teach the singing school with Alabama singer David Ivey. In addition, UCC's music department has a well-established exchange program with Wesleyan's music department, so there were several former and current exchange students on hand, along with Wesleyan alumni from near and far.
As Jesse Pearlman Karlsberg, a fellow Wesleyan alum and Sacred Harp singer, pointed out, the Sacred Harp convention is a "genius form," one that often produces "overwhelming" and "revelatory experiences." We both agreed, however, that the Cork convention was especially powerful. Everyone else felt the same, it seems; the Sacred Harp community has been talking about Ireland for weeks now. To find out what made it so special and to see many more photos, take a look at Alice's blog: adventuresofaleece.wordpress.com.
The Wesleyan students who are lucky enough to participate in the exchange program with UCC next year will be able to witness the evolution of the Cork Sacred Harp community and attend another Ireland Sacred Harp Convention in March 2012, for it was unanimously decided at the end of the First that there must be a Second.
If a singing vacation in Ireland sounds tempting, make sure to keep your eyes open for details about next year's convention. You can visit the Cork Sacred Harp singers' website here, or find out more about Sacred Harp singing here.

The 2009 Approved Countywide Master Plan of Transportation
See other transportation plans here.
The Approved Countywide Master Plan of Transportation is available on-line now. Open publication here.
The 2009 Approved Countywide Master Plan of Transportation (MPOT) for Prince George's County is the strategic, multimodal transportation vision for Prince George's County.
Updating the MPOT was a core recommendation of the 2002 Prince George's County Approved General Plan. The previous master plan of transportation was 27 years old when the update was approved in November 2009 and had been amended by 34 subsequently approved master plans.
The updated MPOT incorporates all previous amendments into one document. It provides a strategic planning, evaluation, and implementation framework for the multimodal, modern transportation network needed to support the growth and development envisioned in the 2002 General Plan.
The MPOT contains four sets of core recommendations, each of which will present a different, but interlocking, set of planning and implementation challenges and opportunities for Prince George's County.

Is This Site the Kosher Seamless?
Brace yourself: you can now browse kosher restaurants and order food right to your doorstep at the click of a few buttons.
It might sound a bit like Grubhub or Seamless, but founder Morris Sued says his startup, which carries only kosher restaurants, "Is like going to a non-kosher supermarket versus a kosher supermarket. You can be sure everything we offer is kosher, and we even specify the types of kosher."
The startup, called getkosher.com, claims to make ordering kosher food as easy and convenient as possible. "You just sit tight at your home or office and have the food come to you," the website reads.
The service allows customers to browse partner restaurants in select areas of New York and New Jersey and place orders at the normal menu prices. After a successful few months, the company has just launched partnerships with about 20 restaurants in Midtown Manhattan.
On top of earning commission from restaurant sales, GetKosher also has drivers that deliver on behalf of a number of Brooklyn restaurants without their own delivery services, and generally charge about a $5 additional fee. Their FAQ page says that deliveries outside the normal range are possible, but could include a $75 minimum.
Sued, 22, launched the business about a year ago, but he said it's only really taken off in recent months. Now GetKosher touts more than 100 partner restaurants and over 2,000 customers and is growing fast, he said.
The idea came about as Sued and his father were picking up kosher shawarma in Brooklyn and felt that in the age of the Internet, all the hassle that goes into picking up a food order could be avoided.
The website logs user information so that customers don't need to fill out credit card details each time they place an order. Customers can also make orders by phone.
For now, the startup is limited to areas of New York and New Jersey with substantial Jewish populations. But Sued has his sight set on expanding beyond the East Coast, and even beyond the United States. "We're providing a service to the Jewish community… how amazing would it be to serve everyone, no matter where they are [in the world]?"

Alain Delon (born 8 November 1935) is a French-born actor, one of the best known outside his native country. Delons star rose quickly, and by the age of twenty-three he was garnering comparisons to French screen legends such as Gérard Philipe and Jean Marais, as well as American actor James Dean. He was even called the male Brigitte Bardot. Not wanting to fall back on his looks, Delon tried to take roles that presented him with more of a challenge. In particular he took parts playing a thief or gangster. One of the remarkable qualities about Delons performances is that despite the immorality of many of the characters he plays, he manages to make them charming, even likeable. Over the course of his career, Delon has worked with legendary directors, including Luchino Visconti, Jean-Luc God...

Recent road and rail infrastructure, designed to improve access between Western Australia's capital and the popular South-West region, are likely to lift property prices in areas neighbouring or benefiting from the infrastructure.
The Mandurah Bypass road, which opened last year, shaves 30 minutes off the drive between Perth and the South-West and eases congestion in centres along existing roadways. RP Data property analyst Cameron Kusher says this alone has the potential to encourage investment in the area. "Fixing the road between Perth and Bunbury will probably improve [values in] areas south of the city. And also in Mandurah and Rockingham, because the road will provide greater access to the city."
Further north, areas such as Geraldton are poised to benefit from facilities that are likely to boost employment in the mining region. The $4.37 billion Oakajee Port and Rail project includes 570 kilometres of rail and a deepwater port 25 kilometres north of Geraldton.
Western Australia has a good recent track record of proactive infrastructure development, according to BIS Shrapnel senior economist Jason Anderson.
The $1.6 billion Perth to Mandurah rail line, which opened in 2007, had allowed for additional population growth and land supply to be opened up to Perth's south. "The new rail line to Mandurah . . . was well planned and well thought out," Anderson says. "Some developers recognised that and bought land [nearby]. It's the foundation for population growth and enables supply.
"If you looked at a market like Sydney, where on average there's been less investment [in infrastructure], it's those shortages that have had an impact on prices."
Anderson says while it is often hard to determine whether price growth is caused by population growth or the infrastructure that is inevitably built to deal with the extra people, in the Perth to Mandurah rail line case, it seems to be a combination of the two.
"It is hard to determine what's the cause and the effect. Certainly for areas like the rail line in South-West Perth and like the roads coming through in northern Queensland, [the infrastructure was built] because those areas have had strong population growth and there's a need to add to capacity."

By getting kenalog 40 injections in the nose once every month for about 6 months, can this cause moodswings/depression? Please help me in all that you know about the matter, thank you
Rhinoplasty Kenalog 40 Injection?
Doctor Answers 2
Rhinoplasty and kenolog injections
Dear johnnyandolini,
- It is a relatively small dosage that gets injected, but you could be extra sensitive to it
- If you notice a correlation where these mood swings come exactly the same time after kenalog injection, then it can be a cause
- This is listed in the insert, but we do not usually inject a whole ml into the nose, usually it is 0.1-0.3cc, so it is a small dosage
- There are other causes that should also be ruled in or out
- After six months, you may not need anymore injections and you can try going a month without to see if you get the same symptoms
Best regards,
Nima Shemirani

Glass treatments coat your windshield with water repellant, making it easier to wipe away water, ice and bugs and giving you a clearer view out your windshield for months.
(Photo courtesy of PPG Industries)
Squeeze the wings on the Aquapel applicator to start the flow of the fluid. Apply to the windshield. Wipe off. Repeat.
The treatment comes in easy-to-use applicators.
Research has proven that glass treatment products can improve your view through your windshield in rainy weather by as much as 34 percent. The improved vision can increase your response rate by up to 25 percent. That could mean the difference between avoiding an accident or being part of one.
Most glass treatments work by coating your windshield with a water-repellent silicone film. The coating makes water bead up and improves the wiper blade's ability to remove the water. The coating also makes it easier to wipe off ice and bugs.
Most conventional silicone treatments last about one month. But a new glass treatment called Aquapel achieves a much longer service life by chemically bonding with the glass. It should last for six months. Aquapel and similar products are available at auto parts stores or online, with larger quantities usually discounted.
Application of Aquapel is simple. Make sure the temperature is at least 50 degrees F. Clean the windshield and allow the glass to dry. Then wipe Aquapel onto the glass and wipe it off. Then wipe on a second coat, wipe it off and you're done.

Riverside County Supervisors approve plans to make agenda documents more transparent
Move aims to provide citizens more clarity and understanding of project costs
RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Riverside County supervisors today unanimously approved revising county agenda documents so regulatory and project-related costs to the public and private sectors are clearly spelled out, as well as revising board policy to ensure information is available to the public in a timely manner.
In a 5-0 vote, the Board of Supervisors directed the Executive Office to rework Form 11, which is the standard document submitted to the board for consideration on its Tuesday agendas, so each one includes an abbreviated cost analysis on the first page.
Supervisors Kevin Jeffries and Jeff Stone came up with the idea.
``All we're looking for is something simple and very brief,'' Jeffries told his colleagues. ``It came to light recently with the fire code amendments. People should know whether an action might raise the cost of a home by $200 or $10,000.''
A Form 11 generally contains a summary of proposed projects and provides basic details about fiscal year costs, contracting parties, agency recommendations and references to previous agenda items that may help illuminate a subject.
In their joint proposal, Jeffries and Stone wrote that changes were necessary ``to increase public transparency and better organize (documents) to more clearly disclose short- and long-term impacts of board actions to the county budget and the private sector.''
The supervisors noted Kern and San Diego counties offer potential ``models'' that Riverside County might follow. Agendas in those counties amplify cost analyses to show how businesses likely will be financially affected by government activity.
The ``financial data'' box found on Riverside County agenda items provides a bare-bones snapshot of current fiscal year costs to the county, the ``net county cost'' -- or the amount withdrawn directly from the general fund -- and whether a proposal will require a budget adjustment.
The background pages attached to a Form 11 often list additional expenditure-related information. However, Jeffries and Stone said all cost analyses need to be disclosed up front -- most importantly the money that will be expended over the life of a contract or project, not just the spending in the current fiscal year.
``Separate from the fiscal impact to the county, each new ordinance, regulation, program or fee should include a private sector impact analysis that briefly discusses the fiscal or regulatory impact, if any, to taxpayers, residents and employers in Riverside County,'' the supervisors said.
They added that funding sources for projects, such as grants or internal sub-accounts, should be plainly noted in the first one or two pages of an agenda document, and that any ``change orders'' to a contract the county has with a vendor should contain, ``in a readily identifiable format,'' data indicating how much more or less the county's costs will be because of the change.
Supervisor Marion Ashley lauded the proposal and particularly liked the policy recommendation that, from now on, items not be placed on an agenda unless they contain a synopsis of what it is a supervisor is seeking.
In the past, supervisors have used ``placeholders,'' sometimes bearing only an agenda number and the word ``reserved,'' all the way up to the morning of a board meeting before finally adding a synopsis.
``We should not have Monday surprises,'' Ashley said. ``The public is relying on the press to tell them before the weekend what is coming up.''
The Ralph M. Brown Act, also known as the California Public Meeting Law, requires that government bodies post, at minimum, 20-word summaries on an agenda item 72 hours before a meeting.
The board voted to revise county policy so that placeholders can be used, but only up to 3 p.m. on the Friday before a board meeting, at which point all available information on a proposal must be added to an agenda item by way of the Clerk of the Board. Otherwise, the item is to be removed.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
PetSmart, 1276 Carmia Way, Richmond, VA 23235, from noon - 3:00 p.m. or for a private showing contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Company Projects Annual Revenues of $10.5 Million in 2002
Urecoats Industries, Inc., a technology-driven sales, marketing and product development company, has received shareholder approval for the proposed one-for-ten reverse stock split of its common stock and the reduction of its authorized common stock capitalization limit from 140 million to 25 million shares.
Shareholders at the company's annual meeting also voted to elect seven directors including Richard J. Kurtz (61), Timothy M. Kardok (45), Arthur J. Gregg (74), Steven Mendelow (59), Jerold L. Zaro (50), Mark A. Reichenbaum (51) and Stephen L. Green (63). Reichenbaum and Green are new directors, bringing Urecoat's current Board membership to seven.
All other proposals also were approved by shareholders.
Commenting on the announcement, Tim Kardok, chief executive officer of Urecoats, said, "We are extremely pleased that our share consolidation plan has been approved by shareholders. As of now, it is a whole new ballgame!"
"Our new capital structure is better suited to enable us to obtain a listing on the American Stock Exchange. In addition, we expect to be more attractive to institutional investors and the public in general," Kardok continued.
The company noted that during its annual meeting, it provided shareholders with the first glimpse of Urecoats' anticipated growth for the second quarter and full year of 2002. During its presentation to shareholders, Urecoats noted that it expects to generate second quarter 2002 revenues of $1.8 million and 2002 annual revenues of $10.5 million.
"We are currently ramping up our operations in the Northeast and solidifying our position in the Southeast market," Kardok said. "Given the existing demand and increasing interest in our products, as well as the growth prospects for our Bradco distribution partnership, we are confident we can meet these ambitious performance goals in the upcoming quarters and ultimately achieve a break even cash flow position in 2003."

Taylor Swift: My Awards Show Dancing "Doesn't Look Cool" — WATCH VIDEO
Taylor Swift stopped by Thursday's "Late Night," where the show's host Seth Meyers called her out for her awkward dancing at awards show and over-the-top post-workout clothes.
The singer admitted to Meyers that she used to get "really nervous at awards shows because they're a huge pressure cooker." Swift further explained, "A couple years ago I just decided, 'No. This is the coolest concert you could ever go to. This is like all these incredible acts playing their biggest songs and I get to be front row and I'm going to dance during this because I feel like it — and not because it looks cool, because it doesn't.'"
As for the high-fashion outfits Swift wears when she leaves the gym, the pop star joked, "That is how everyone looks when they come out of the gym," before adding, "I like to bring a change of clothes."
"I picture you in the locker room taking up a lot of space," Meyers told Swift after showing the audience photos of her leaving the gym in style. Swift reasoned, "I think New York is one of those cities that feels worth dressing up for, if that makes any sense. I just feel like when I walk out onto the sidewalk in New York, I have to just try a little harder. But it's not like an extra hour in the gym."
Note: Videos no longer available.

Hull classification symbol
The hull classification symbol is assigned to each and every ship of the UNSC Navy. Different types and sizes of ship have different classification symbols.[1] Placed after the symbol is a number. Each ship of that class gets a different number. This way, the Hull Classification Symbol is a sort of numerical identification system for ships, other than their names.
The symbol based on the hull classification symbol system used by the United States Navy in the 20th and 21st centuries with few differences. The symbols have a few things in common, a symbol beginning with "FF" generally denotes a frigate, "DD" a destroyer, "CL" or "CA" a cruiser, "CV" a carrier, and "BB" a battleship. The rest of the letters vary depending on the type of vessel. There can be dozens of types of each class of vessel.
The Covenant and its splinter factions use their own system of three-letter classification codes which are assigned based on a ship's "Primary", "Secondary", and "Tertiary" features.[1]

Detective says evidence destroyed in sniper case
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - An El Paso County sheriff's investigator says evidence collected after a 2001 shooting into a divorce lawyer's home was destroyed.
The disclosure was made Monday at the trial of Bruce Nozolino.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, sheriff's detective Jeff Nohr says the evidence was listed as belonging to another agency.
The destroyed evidence includes three metal fragments thought to be pieces of a bullet fired into the home of John and Tammy Ciccolella in June 2001.
Nozolino is on trial in what prosecutors characterize as a decade-long series of revenge shootings that included two attacks on a lawyer who represented Nozolino's ex-wife, Beverly, in a contentious divorce case that began in the 1990s.
Attorneys for Nozolino say the victim identified other possible suspects in the attacks.

Taking all the data into account, a panel of North Carolina scientists told the state this past spring to prepare for a three-foot rise by 2100, though some regional experts think that estimate is low. (The only places in North America more imperiled are the Mississippi River delta, the Florida Keys and the Everglades.)
Moreover, as the ocean surface warms, some experts predict that stronger storms will hit the Atlantic Seaboard. A major hurricane could bring extreme tides and crashing waves, which can make short work of a wetland. In 2003, scientists in Louisiana predicted that the state stood to lose 700 square miles of wetlands by 2050. Two years later, during hurricanes Katrina and Rita, 217 square miles vanished practically overnight.
Already at Alligator River, salty water from the surrounding estuaries is washing farther inland, poisoning the soil, Boutin says. The salt invasion triggers a cascade of ecological change. The pond pines turn brown and the dying forest is overrun by shrubs, which themselves wither into a dead gray haze. A salt marsh takes over, until it, too, is transformed, first into little jigsaw pieces of land and finally into open water.
Boutin says his team has a decade or less to act. "If we don't stop the damage now, it's all going to start crumbling," he says. "We don't want the transition to open water to happen so quickly that the species that depend on the land don't have enough time." Sea walls and other traditional engineering techniques aren't an option, he says, because sheltering one portion of coast can speed erosion in another or choke the surrounding wetlands.
Healthy wetlands can keep up with normal sea-level fluctuation. They trap sediment and make their own soil by collecting organic matter from decomposing marsh plants. Wetlands thereby increase their elevation and can even slowly migrate inland as the water rises. But the wetlands can't adapt if the seawater moves in faster than they can make soil.
The Alligator River project aims to buy time for the ecosystem to retreat intact. Boutin and co-workers hope to create migration corridors—passages for wildlife—connecting the refuge with inland conservation areas. But the relocation of plants and animals must be gradual, Boutin says, lest there be a "catastrophic loss of biodiversity."
Boutin drives me in a pickup truck to the edge of a vast marsh full of salt meadow hay and black needle rush. Small waves smack the shore. In the distance, across Croatan Sound, we can see the low-slung island of Roanoke. This is Point Peter, the project's testing ground.
Like many East Coast swamps, Alligator River is crisscrossed with man-made drainage ditches. Workers will plug some of those ditches or outfit them with gates, to keep the saltwater back at least awhile.
There are 40 acres of newly planted saplings—native bald cypress and black gum, which are salt- and flood-tolerant—intended to keep the forest in place a bit longer as the sea level rises. Wolves, bears and other animals depend on the forest, and "we're holding the line to allow them to use the corridors" to get to higher ground, Boutin says.
Out in the water, white poles stake the outline of an artificial reef that is scheduled to be built soon. Made of limestone rock poured from a barge, the reef will attract oysters and shield the marsh edge from violent waves. This living buffer will also cleanse the water and create habitats for other marine animals, increasing the marsh's resilience. In other places, the scientists will restore aquatic plants and remove invasive grasses.

Origin Energy's new $810 million power station at Mortlake in Victoria's west has officially opened.
The gas plant, which is the largest gas-fired power station in Victoria, took four years to build and has been designed to generate up to 550 megawatts of power at relatively short notice.
Victoria Premier
He said the new plant would help ensure that households and businesses have supply when it is needed most, especially during the height of summer.
"This plant means more certainty and reliability for Victorian families when demand peaks – especially in the summertime," Mr Baillieu said.
"This project represents a significant investment by Origin Energy in regional Victoria. It is a vote of confidence not only in Victoria as a place to do business, but also to the strength of our privatised energy network and the huge potential of our natural resources."
Origin managing director
He said during peak periods the plant could be switched on and start generating electricity within about five minutes and has the capacity to supply the equivalent of peak power to 250,000 homes.
"The Mortlake Power Station has been designed to provide flexibility to respond to future market conditions," he said.
"The site has approval to expand its current capacity in the future, and could be converted to a highly efficient, low carbon emissions, combined-cycle baseload plant if market conditions warrant it."
The station is powered by natural gas from Victoria's Otway Basin located in Bass Strait.
The gas is then piped to Origin's Otway gas processing plant at Waare near Port Campbell and connected to Mortlake via an 83km dedicated underground pipeline.

I got this scent as a sample in my Birchbox, and I fell in love with it immediately. As soon as I used up the sample, I ordered the big bottle and I am wearing it constantly. It's a great scent for summer - light without being unsubstantial. Sometimes I even put it on when I go to bed, just to smell it some more!5

Foaming for flavour
'…with a wild mushroom foam'.
These words, or similar ones, have become increasingly prevalent on menus around the world. But what is a 'foam', and what can a few bubbles possibly bring to a dish?
Foam, in a scientific sense, has been a part of cooking for centuries. Every time cream is whipped, egg whites are thickened, meringue is formed or mousse …

I need some opinions, hopefully to help me make up my mind.
I built a house and need to decide on countertops. My 2 options are a laminate or tiling it with 1'x2' granite tiles. After getting a price from the local lumberyard the laminate will be approx $1600.00 and I can tile it for around the same price, maybe a bit less.
Downfalls for laminate - cheap looking, easy to mark and burn.
Downfalls for tile- much more time involved for installation (which I am doing my self) and grout lines that can trap bacteria.
There is no way i can afford real granite, or any other stone (natural or engineered). I like the look of butcher-block but it is also out of my price range.
What would you personally rather? And most importantly what is better from a resale perspective? Are there any other options I should consider?
If laminate or tiles is your price point, I am not sure what to suggest. Do make sure you can get your hands on a complete laminate sample thingie and you might need to go to a kitchen place or find an interior designer to have such access. Laminate is what it is but some patterns and textures are not so bad.
Corian would be the next price jump up I guess although last I checked it was almost as costly as stone.
Stepping up around the price of granite? Recycled glass, or even glass, and concrete countertops are beautiful with limitless color possibilities. You might be able to get a tax credit for using renewable materials to offset the cost a bit. They are about the same as granite otherwise. With concrete you can mold your sinks, etc. into the overall design so would save that money you would spend otherwise on sinks. Concrete countertops poured in place is an option also but I have never specified that approach yet.
Do remember that within reason, any money you sink into a kitchen to make it nice is going to be returned to you. Budgets are budgets though.
Laminate. To me, granite tile countertop looks exactly like the situation you are in: couldn't afford the real thing, so did a cheaper alternative. I'm not sure anyone in history has ever picked tiling a countertop for a reason other than price. My parents have a tile countertop in their kitchen, and keeping the grout clean is a major hassle. Wiping the counter is a pain too - crumbs/etc. stick to the grout and make it difficult to wipe the counter down.
If you go with a laminate, avoid something that is trying to look like stone - those look cheap too. You can get a good laminate countertop, that doesn't look like it's trying to be something it's not, and have it look really nice.
EDIT: one other thing - how DIY capable are you? You can get 4x8 sheets of laminate and do the whole project for WELL under the $1600 price. Brief how-to: http://www.acehardware.com/info/inde...goryId=1280476
I am also in the anti-tile camp for counter-tops. If you love it, than use it. If you are lukewarm about it then don't.
Every place I've lived with tile countertops I have hated them. The grout lines collect crumbs and stains. I agree that nice looking laminate is superior to tile. But that's just one chick's opinion.
Also agree with prior poster and hinted in my suggestion to get your hands on samples of all laminates out there. You are not going to fool anybody into believing a piece of plastic is wood or stone so pick something else that is stunning.
One thing to keep in mind with both laminates and solid-surface things like Corian - the more glossy the finish the more scratches will show. A matte finish will hide more use-marks than if you put in something glossy.
I think everyone is all about granite countertops, but I don't understand why. My kitchen remodel Illinois contractor helped me choose a countertop made from quartz- and I love my countertops! Granite is not as easy to maintain as people claim. Try getting anything acidic on it...that will really mess up your granite countertops! That means you can't even use certain household cleaners because a lot contain acidic chemicals. They also are suppose to hold bacteria! If you ask me, granite is not the better choice!
I think a lot of people like granite for the name and reputation. But I really like it because of the natural look and "imperfection" in appearance/pattern in a way. Another reason is in my part of the country, northwestern Ontario, it is the landscape. I literally built my house on bedrock, which is mostly granite. There are a lot of local colors that i like, but i was going to chicken out and go with black. Something about Vermillion pink, its so nice, but i dont know about having it in my whole kitchen.
Either way I just can not afford any stone countertops at this point of my life.
Just a thought, Ikea butcherblock countertops are very reasonably priced. You could do the counters not near the sink in the butcherblock and maybe be able to afford granite for the sink cabinet run. Personally speaking, no matter what finish you put on it, I'd be worried to have wood surrounding the sink.
When it comes time to resell you typically can't go wrong with granite. Albeit the are a lot of good alternatives for any number of reasons.
Tiling looks dated, even in granite. There are tons of nice laminate patterns to choose from. In my experience as a Realtor, as far as resale goes, if the kitchen is clean and the counter is in good shape, the laminate won't be a deal breaker,
1 Attachment(s)
Why not use laminate and finish with a wood trim that can be stained to match the cabinets. It looks alot better than a factory laminate edge. Do it yourself and save 60%.
like i said, the main benifit to laminate for me is time. If I have it made, its one thing off my plate. If I am going to devote alot of time to this I would tile it

Enhance your iPhone 4 Pictures
Friday, February 10, 2012 by cyberacoustics
Some say that a picture's worth a thousand words. I say: depends on the picture. With so many camera phones and point-and-shoot cameras out there, one only has to join a site like Flickr or even poke around on Facebook to see just how bad some pictures can be. But what if you could make your pictures stand out—just by using your iPhone, and spending less than $100?
The first thing you need are lenses. I found this package deal on photojojo.com—for just $49, you get three small yet powerful lenses: the Fisheye, Telephoto, and Macro/Wide Angle Cell Phone Lenses. These finely constructed lenses transform your standard phone photos into wide, up-close, super-zoomed and wonderfully warped wonders.
The next thing I purchased was this GSI Super Quality Photo Package for the iPhone camera. For $34 you get a Long Focal 8x Zoom Optical Telephoto Extended 30x70mm lens, a Mini Tripod with Universal Mount Holder, velvet case, and cleaning cloth. The best a-ha moment was with the case. I was able to take the mounting magnet from the lenses I got from photojojo site and glue it into the camera hole on the velvet case. This let me use all four lenses without taking the velvet case off.
Ok, now you have the equipment to go out and take pictures, but you still need are a few apps that you can use to enhance or add special touches. Here are some that I use that can be purchased right off the App store.
TouchRetouch is a revolutionary application that lets you remove unwanted content or objects from your photos, using just your finger and your iPhone or iPod Touch. Mark the items you want taken out of the snapshot and hit "Go." That's all there is to it!
Instagram by Burbn, Inc.
15 million users love Instagram! It's a free, fun, and simple way to make and share gorgeous photos on your iPhone. Pick from one of several filtered effects or tilt-shift blur to breathe new life into your mobile photos. The filters and effects are a great way to transform everyday moments into works of art.
Hipstamatic by Synthetic, LLC
Digital photography never looked so analog. The Hipstamatic app brings back the look, feel, unpredictable beauty, and fun of plastic toy cameras of the past. It lets you keep the quirks of shooting old school but gives you the ability to swap lenses, film, and flash settings all with the swipe of a finger.
TiltShift by Michael Krause
The TiltShift app transforms a scene into a miniature world. This application simulates a tilt-shift lens that tricks your mind into viewing a photo as a miniature scene, like a model railroad for example.
360 Panorama by Occipita
Take stunning 360 panoramas everywhere. 360 Panorama turns your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad 2 into a full featured 360-degree panoramic camera. Easily capture immersive panoramas in seconds and instantly share your 360 view with the world. Simply pan the camera and watch as images are stitched seamlessly. 360 Panorama captures scenes in a way you never could with a traditional camera.
Grungetastic by JixiPix Software
Grungetastic is the very best at creating grunge, distorted, and distressed images. If you are looking for a clean elegant photo, then you're in the wrong place! With a few taps of your finger, Grungetastic will transform your photo into a grungy work of art.
There you go! For under $100 you now have the tools to go out and take pictures that will impress your friends and family. The beauty of it is that you don't need a camera, just your iPhone. Please let me know if there are any other apps out there for us to try. Happy shooting…

Skiing and Mountain Biking Israel
Skiing Israel
Photographer Kari Medig is no stranger to photographing adventure sports in countries often associated with conflict. For his latest project, he traveled to Israel to shoot skiing at Mount Hermon and mountain-biking in the southern part of the country. Read an interview with Medig at Galleries We Like: Skiing and Mountain-Biking Israel.
"Pure action photography does not hold my interest for very long. I mean, I'm like any other guy, you like hucking shots, but what interests me most is the people who are actually doing the sports. I look for the little details surrounding the sport that often seem absurd in contrast to the sport itself. There are so many of these details in a place like Israel, and that is what drew me there."
Skiing Israel"You've got a ski hill in a relatively volatile area, sandwiched between Lebanon and Syria. And yet, there is this place where people go and have fun and ski. It seems like an oxymoron, in terms of location. I wondered, what does such a fun yet, frankly, frivolous sport like skiing look like in a place so steeped in the serious issues of religion, ancient history, and conflict?"
Skiing Israel"Seeing soldiers on skis definitely added an element of strangeness. Skiing is most often seen as something 'fun'. It's the only time as a kid that you can go fast and do things you otherwise couldn't. So to see a guy strapping on skis with an M-16 was totally out of the ordinary for me. I guess it part of their training for moving around in the mountains on the border."
Skiing Israel"There were people from all over the region. It may be simplistic, but everyone seemed to forget the political issues and just focus on having fun in the snow. It made me think, if people just chilled out a bit and went and did things like skiing, maybe we'd have less problems in the world. I know that's simplifying complex issues, but it's what we saw. There's no other way to put it. "
Skiing Israel"Before setting off, I researched the history and politics of Israel. While reading about the country, I realized that this place was more interesting than expected. What I came away with most was that the average Israeli has never seen snow. You just see people touching it for the first time, making and throwing snowballs, and generally getting lost in it."
Mountain-biking Israel"You'd never think of Israel as an adventure destination. It gets so much press because of its politics. We just wanted to see what's going on there with normal people. What are they doing? Are they riding bikes and skiing? What's going on?"
Mountain-biking Israel"It took us to the last part of the trip to find 'the guys' who were into singletrack. We finally met them and they knew what we wanted and what they wanted, and we ended up in this area that reminded me of Utah or New Mexico."
Mountain-biking Israel"I was surprised at the quality and mind-blowing desert scenery. A lot of the trails are old camel trails that they've worked over and turned into mountain bike trails. We did one ride that was five-hours on singletrack and we never crossed the same path twice."
Mountain-biking Israel"I am drawn to places on the edge, places that are known for their conflict zones where people are still having fun. Riding a bike and skiing are very frivolous acts, but for me, they're an important part of my mental health. They're not going to change the world, but the fact that they exist in these places is pretty neat. It's kind of reassuring. People are doing things for enjoyment in these more volatile areas of the world."
Mountain-biking Israel"It may be farfetched, but I hope it makes people think about the general news about a place, or the stereotype, and realize it isn't always true. To maybe question, 'Is there a lot more going on than what's in the news?' There are normal people still having normal lives and doing things that we love to do as well. Not to be too out there, but I guess that's what surprised me the most. That people are out there doing fun things that we like to do; they like being outside just like us."

Vote to rename Larisa Park in East Providence could take place at Council meeting
EAST PROVIDENCE — At any other East Providence City Council meeting, a resolution seeking to rename Rose Larisa Memorial Park in the Riverside section would be front and center. It just so happens to likely be item 1A on a Council agenda for its meeting Tuesday night, Nov. 5, that also includes a resolution on the job status of City Manager Peter Graczykowski.
Ward 3 Councilman Thomas Rose submitted the park resolution, which reads "residents of the City of East Providence have requested that the name, in honor of those five (5) local citizens and a dedicated volunteer who rescued this property and carousel, be returned to its original name, Crescent Park."
The resolution also references "a dedicated group of five local residents, Gail Durfee, Jobelle (Tracy) Aguiar, Richard Lund, Linda McEntee, Robin Peacock to include a dedicated volunteer Rose Larisa rescued the Crescent Park Looff Carousel from being sold" as well "the Crescent Park Looff Carousel has been fully restored and continues to operate each season with the assistance of the loyal Edward Serowik, Sr."
Mrs. Larisa, who passed away in 1999, was honored posthumously with the naming of the parcel abutting the upper reaches of Narragansett Bay by the then City Council in 2002. Her son, Joseph Larisa, was Council president at the time.
According to the minutes from the Jan. 9, 2002 Council meeting, the decision to rename the 10.6-acre parcel was passed on a 4-1 vote, Mr. Larisa joined in the affirmative by Councilmen Norman Miranda, Peter Midgley and Patrick Rogers. Only Councilman Rolland Grant voted against the resolution.
The original resolution singled out Mrs. Larisa as being "instrumental in saving the land and beach adjacent to the Crescent Park Looff Carousel... which overlooks Narragansett Bay, from a planned condominium and housing development."
Supporting documents from the record of the the Jan. 9, 2002 Council meeting included a letter penned by one those people Mr. Rose recognizes in his current resolution, Gail Durfee. Ms. Durfee, at the time, penned a piece of correspondence to Mr. Larisa, backing the proposal to rename what she referred to as "Bayside Park" to Rose Larisa Park.
A portion of Ms. Durfee's letter read, "it is my understanding that you (Mr. Larisa) would like the land on the west or bay side of the property that the city recently acquired from Picerne Properties, and the land set aside for public use in the consent judgment dedicated in memory of your Mother and my close friend, Rose Larisa, and renamed 'The Rose Larisa Memorial Park.' I think that would be a wonderful tribute to Rose, a person who worked very hard to not only save the carousel and a portion of the land, but who continued on to try and save all of our valuable waterfront property for the people of our city to enjoy."

You know, it is not this a big problem when start to load such capacities (without smoking...). It could be a problem about how long time will take such process... And it could be a challenge to find a solution to get rid of that energy after power off...
Thanks to RayCtech if he can come with some comments about those aspects.
I will see... I think it is an interesting area to experiment... Anyway, experimenting is not synonym to succeeding in a task, or have the solution for something.

I hope not... probably your psu has current limiting ? So it simply.... won't work. But maybe you can pre-charge the caps with a car battery.... perhaps hard to do with a 3.8V DAC.... as Ray said, you really do have to design for large caps/cap banks. It's a real challenge to just add them later and not mess something up.
Besides anything else, big caps have a certain sound.... so you might consider bypassing them with fast caps - film caps like Sonicap in decades - 10uF, 1uF - and then even faster Vishay MKP1837 0.1uF, 10nF or Relcap RTE. Anyway, maybe you know all this already ... but it's worth repeating since this thread seems to have turned this way.
Personally, having tried this kinda thing before, it's not a sound I like. I winced when I saw the Audiocom board, and hoped none of the solid polymer caps were on analogue power lines. Each to their own I guess.

With 1F to 10F capacitors I have implemented circuits that can charge and discharge them or simply disconnect and connect them after the initial charge.. In some cases also MCU control or a simple logic control for protection and safety.

just use properly low noise regs that dont need such crazy filtering in the first place, or batteries, since thats effectively what caps are at that size. just putting them on normal regulators or wide bandwidth flea type regulators is an experiment doomed to fail, a dangerous one, since you seem to insist on DC coupling.
Coris I see you only took these suggestions by Ray as positives and did not notice the strong warnings as well as thanking him for the things he said, some things that I have been saying to you for months. enjoy that extra 1-2db you might get from higher AVCC, that 1-2db will be swallowed well and truly by your following gain structure. remember ive been through this with you, this will only ADD to your problems here. your poweramps have significantly more gain than you can use already.
first things first....
seeing to your gain structure will provide much more tangible improvement than increasing AVCC, or adding huge caps. this was yet another conversation where my trying to help you, linking to the articles etc, turned into you playing the victim because what I said wasnt what you wanted to hear.
you continue to push in a direction that brings you no benefit while the rest stays the same, in fact it will bring more harm. with so much gain already on your IV stage, you could probably use 3-6db of gain before the amps start distorting.

Man, I have normal ultra low noise voltage regulators in function today (and for few month ago)! And they work very well.
I do not take or took the Ray`s suggestions just blind as positive. He came her with the information that he used huge capacities. I used too this quite big decoupling capacities with good results (but not so big as him). So it seems to me that it is possible one can also use huge filtering/decoupling capacities. I only found this idea interesting. Is my opinion. I do not know how it will work, and what kind of improvement it will bring, or if it will bring at all something. I just want to try and see what it may happen.
Else, yes I know that decoupling capacities it have to be paralleled in different ways/values/types, to work as it should.
As soon as I will have the opportunity to start to work again in this field, I will review the gain distribution/levels in my system, and I will come back here with details.
I`m aware that improvements it may come from different directions. I have tried only few, I know that. After I will be comfortable with what I get in one direction I will switch to another one. This is my strategy so far.
Else I care enough to not destroy something, as it cost quite much... I do not do it to destroy things, or take blind risks without take precautions...
Unfortunately, I can not show you how well it works my actual system. But just believe me that it works just fine... with all that "bad things" in it: huge overclocking, over AVCC power, big decoupling capacities, huge gain in the system, no any HF filtering, but low HF noise anyway, and so on...

Hi, Coris and RayCTech,
Why don't you create your own threads to show your ideas, observations, manifests, and so on, for your proprietary ultra spec DAC or your out-of-spec application of ES9018?

Steamboat Springs The Soroco Rams baseball team has a few weeks of practice batting, digging grounders and catching flies on a plowed pavement field under its belts. The team hopes to see a snow-cleared field for the first time Tuesday at its first game of the year in Craig against Steamboat Springs.
This year, Rams coach Steve Longwell has 14 players out for the team. But like most of the boys sports in south Routt this year, he is long on youth and short on experience.
Longwell lost all of his starting nine in 2000 who produced a 5-1 conference record. Most significantly, his most promising pitcher last year, Perry Means, moved out of state. Also, he has no seniors on the team.
Longwell does have Perry's younger brother, Casey, who lettered last year. He also has Willie Spicer, who saw playing time in 2000, too.
"Those guys will to the majority of the pitching for us," Longwell said.
Soroco plays in a league with Grand Valley, Debeque and Ridgeway, which is south of Montrose, and the team is scheduled to play 15 games.
Against Steamboat on Tuesday, if weather conditions allow the game, Longwell said the Rams will focus more on offense than defense, because the guys haven't had a real chance to field some ball off dirt or see live hits.
The game is at 4 p.m. at Moffat County High School in Craig.

Brodik is a special agent of the Zzyzx Empire, sent in search of an AWOL soldier that has defected from the Empire. However, he has mistaken Raguna for his target and severely harasses and taunts him. Brodik comes off as abrasive and cruel, and takes any chance he can to taunt you, and frequently trashes your field. Despite his bad attitude, he seems to be rather homesick and shows disdain towards you (whom he believes to be the soldier he's looking for) for making him leave the Zzyzx Empire. His current mission isn't to his liking, and mentions he'd rather be in Kardia where a dragon was found, referring to the first game.
Brodik will leave after a certain event when you get Kross's FP up to 4, and will come back to challenge you once a year in the Green Ruins BF1.
- If you give him anything you will receive 1 Gold (money, not ore) for it.

Brodik will get mail, from Candy and Marco, thanking him for cleaning the weeds out of their fields.

If talked to, Brodik will accuse you of being a lousy farmer.

Anybody who has ever played Spot the Ball — poring over the football action picture and putting crosses in the gridded squares, only to be utterly baffled by the result — would tell you it's a game of luck, not skill.
Now the greatest tax minds in the country agree, which is lucky for investors in football pools operator Sportech. The firm has claimed for years that revenues from the competition should not have been subject to VAT as a game of chance. Now a ruling from the independent tax tribunal has put victory in sight after a lengthy battle with HM Revenue & Customs.
Although the taxman has until the end of April to appeal, the firm said the verdict could deliver as much as £80 million in overpaid VAT for 17 years between 1979 and 1996. The shares immediately took off, soaring 21% or 18.75p to 109.5p as the looming windfall — accounting for more than a third of Sportech's £200 million market value — encouraged investors to pile in. Dealing rooms said trading volumes were three times higher than usual.
The same couldn't be said elsewhere in the City, where the FTSE 100 pushed higher to fresh five-year highs, up 15.04 to 6454.20. Investors were sitting on their hands ahead of jobs data from the US, leaving dealers pondering weightier questions: where Wayne Rooney is heading this summer, England's chances in the rugby and what to do about the cricket team's shaky batting line-up. Few in the City believe there's any conviction behind this rally.
One pinstriped gent said: "My busiest days are when the FTSE loses 100 points — the days it goes up 20 or 30 there's no volume and I'm twiddling my thumbs half the time." In the top tier, temporary power company Aggreko was on the back foot today as investors took some money off the table after yesterday's double-digit rise. The shares dropped 68p to 1871.5p. Gold miners Randgold Resources, off 110p at 5405p, and African Barrick Gold, 5.8p cheaper at 232.3p, were under pressure after an 18% drop in hedge-fund billionaire John Paulson's gold fund hit sentiment in the sector. Nomura analysts cut their weighting on ABG to reduce.
The big banks fared better despite rumours flitting through the market of a rating downgrade from Standard & Poor's for a major UK bank. HSBC and Lloyds Banking Group were up 15.7p to 734p and 0.89p to 50.76p respectively. Insurer Aviva clawed back ground after shocking the market with a bigger-than-expected dividend cut. The stock added 4p to 318.75p.
Snap up shares in Cineworld, Investec suggests. The broker says the outlook is "positive" for the cinema chain and makes particular mention of the new Imax the business is planning to open in Glasgow this year. This year is also blessed with "no major event interruptions" (think the Olympics). Shares are 282p with a 310p target.
Cantor Fitzgerald downgrades ClearDebt from Buy to Sell which is ominous. The broker found the insolvency practitioner's interim numbers "disappointing" and the business is now about to delist from AIM. Shares at present are about 0.25p a pop without a target price.
Avocet Mining
Hang onto shares in Avocet, Canaccord Genuity recommends, giving the mining business a price target of 40p for shares which are presently around 25p a pop. The broker says that although Avocet has taken a $135 million write-down on the Inata asset, "it is most likely to be seeking equity finance shortly".

Shapiro v. Browning
The Florida Constitution prohibits the state from using taxpayer money to fund religious organizations or programs. During its 2011 session, the Florida legislature proposed an amendment to the Florida Constitution that not only would repeal this strict prohibition on public funding of religious institutions, but would also forbid Florida government bodies from denying public funding to religious institutions unless the U.S. Constitution prohibited the funding. The proposed amendment will become law if it is approved by Florida voters in the November 2012 general election.

Salesman LIE To Get Your Money
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, June 03, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, June 03, 2014
There are dozens of companies' based out or Orem, UT and surrounding areas whom have learned how to manipulate the legal system with complicated contracts. These companies hire aggressive salesman to con you into a binding contract through a "shrink-wrap agreement." Since there is a contract involved, the credit card company will not waive the charges and you are held responsible for a debt that occurred due to fraud from these questionable internet companies offering you a work-at-home business opportunity.
Most of these internet based companies are all partners in a loop of interconnected services and your phone number gets traded as a potential customer to promote some online business or offer you coaching to further rip you off and drive your credit deeper into debt. An LLC is typically set up to protect your personal assets and create a financial "safety net" when the business fails due to unreasonable credit card debt. All these marketing companies never produce results from any of the services provided through "unconscionable contracts" which are written to deceive consumers with little business experience.
Amazon sells a "call blocker" to stop the private number calls from ringing the phone line and it also allows you to block any number that keeps soliciting more home based business opportunities and other unwanted calls. This option is working for me because I am sick of all the unwanted sales calls from these companies and can't deal with all the pressure from these companies demanding more money without any certaintty it will produce results.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Zulu dawn: battlefield tourism in South Africa
By Roger St Pierre
As I scrambled up the steep, well-manicured lawn below Rorke's Drift I could almost see Michael Caine's head popping up over a parapet. The setting for the classic movie 'Zulu' couldn't be more evocative.
The old farmhouse still stands. The roof is no longer thatched and the building has doubled in size, but it's the actual farmhouse – replete with a fascinating, if quaintly old-fashioned museum, displaying mementoes of that memorable bloody day when around a hundred highly disciplined red coated British soldiers – most of them Welshmen – held off four thousand brave spear wielding Zulu warriors whose fellow tribesmen had only that morning slaughtered a far bigger British force below the nearby mountain known as Isandlewana.
More Victoria Crosses were won that January 22, 1879, than in any other battle in the British Army's history.
In recent years, battlefield tourism has become a fast growing sector of the global travel industry but while sites of the American Civil War and World Wars One and Two are now well trodden, those of South Africa are yet to be widely discovered.
Yet they are to be found in abundance, especially across KwaZulu Province. The rolling hills and grasslands of this beautiful country were fought over by British and Boers, Zulus and the other tribes for at least 200 years before the release of Nelson Mandela and the birth of 'The Rainbow Nation' at last allowed peace to descend.
Battlefield names like Blood River, Cashways, Colenso, Ladysmith and Spioen Kop resound across history
It's a long drive from the surfing paradise of Durban – up through the sparsely populated farmlands, bypassing the siege town of Ladysmith on the way, to reach the welcoming eponymously named lodge at Rorke's Drift (034 642 1805, rorkesdriftlodge.com), the last 10 miles or so over a deeply rutted dirt road, along which witty signs advise against venturing there with a Ferrari, not that anyone would be so crazy!
My deeply knowledgeable local guide, Thulani, brought the Zulu Wars era back to life with his store of tales of daring-do. At Isandlewana, we followed the riverbank to the spot were the Queen's colours were lost, then scrambled up the scrubby hillside to where the brave lieutenants Melville and Cogill met their gruesome end at the points of assegai spears.
Some 1,200 British troops perished that day in a disaster that was a near mirror image of Colonel Custer's Last Stand at the Little Big Horn, just three years earlier. Today, the lonely hillside is peppered with memorials and white painted rocks that mark the spots were soldiers, British and Zulu alike, fell.
Nearby is the site of Blood River, where Boer voortrekkers, seeking to escape the control of the British authorities at the Cape in order to forge a homeland of their own, had decades earlier slaughtered a whole Zulu army.
The Zulu nation had been created by the great King Shaka who, between coronation in 1816 and assassination just 12 years later, rampaged across present-day KwaZulu-Natal, crushing other tribes with his brilliant tactics of warfare.
The Eastern Cape, where nine wars raged over a 100 year period through the 1800s, has the richest legacy, as I discovered courtesy of the highly enthusiastic and deeply knowledgeable Ron Prentis, owner and chief guide of Edgeworld Tours (073 346 3289, edgeworldtours.co.za) who spent a day with me, visiting various battlefield sites dotted across truly spectacular scenery. The highlight was gazing down from lofty Fort Selwyn as Ron vividly explained to me the little known but key Battle of Grahamstown and the ever-shifting alliances between the various protagonists – black and white.
Crossing the lofty Ecca Pass, we explored the scene of the Fish River Battles before arriving at sleepy Fort Beaufort and inspecting the unique Martello Tower there. Our morning ended with a sumptuous buffet lunch at the Katberg Hotel (027 40 608 1005, katleisure.co.za), a luxurious golf and spa resort set grandly amid low mountains, right in the middle of nowhere.
Like the Aussies, South Africans are addicted to barbeques, as I found next night at the comfortable Areena Riverside Resort (043 734 30555, arena.co.za), a collection of wooden chalets delightfully situated next to a slow flowing river.
An industrial city, East London is not much to look at but it is the key to the Buffalo City region, which boasts such attractions as the Nahoon Nature Reserve and the superb Inkwenkwesi Private Game Reserve, with its elephants and near-tame ostriches.
I loved Port Elizabeth, with its wealth of exuberant colonial era architecture, including the traditionally styled Kelway Hotel (042 584 0638, thekelway.co.za), and sweeping bay. It was there that I got the chance to visit a township and a shabeen drinking den, where a newly formed but immensely talented song and dance troupe entertained me before I set off for a more sobering visit to the new Red Location Museum – named after the long-established township in which it is situated and which brilliantly but chillingly tells the story of the apartheid era and the lives of those who fought, and in some cases died, for freedom.
Right now, Durban's attractions naturally centre on the World Cup legacy. The city's Moses Mabhida Stadium is a masterpiece of contemporary architecture, featuring a towering 196-metre high central arch, which can be climbed either by a 550-step skywalk or aboard a world's first SkyCar cable car, for amazing views across the city.
Joburg, Kruger National Park, Cape Town, the Winelands, the Garden Route and sa fari tours are now well established on the UK tourist's radar. Now the time is right for KwaZuku Natal and the battlefields to come to the forefront.
