Police say at least 250 people have appeared in courts around Malawi over last week's violent anti-government demonstrations.
Central Region Police spokesman John Namalenga said 100 people appeared today in a court in the capital of Lilongwe on charges of arson, looting, theft and possession of stolen property.
Officials said more than 500 people were arrested during the unrest, which left at least 19 people dead.
The Millennium Challenge Corporation, a US government development agency, also announced today that it is putting its programme operations on hold to review its partnership with the southern African country, which could result in the termination of $350m in financial assistance to Malawi's ailing energy sector.

Does the 9-11 Museum gift shop offend you?
Ok ALOT of talk of how deplorable the gift shop is at the 9-11 Museum that opened this past week in New York. Are you offended that they sell souvenirs? read the article HERE. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I mean you don't HAVE to buy something and no outrage happened when they opened the Oklahoma Memorial and THEY sell souvenirs. See what they offer HERE. So what do YOU think?

Carmel, NY– Congressman John Hall (NY-19), Chairman of the House Veteran's Affairs Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs, applauded the news today that the Veterans Administration (VA) will adopt a rule next week granting presumption of service connection to any veteran who served in a combat zone and has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Currently, veterans who apply for disability benefits to compensate for PTSD must demonstrate to the VA their illness is service related, essentially denying benefits to thousands of veterans unable to document their claims decades after their discharge from service. The new rule will make it easier for all veterans suffering from PTSD to receive VA health care and disability compensation. Also, disability benefits will be made available with the rule change to more veterans, including some who may have been denied benefits in the past.
"Less than half of the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans diagnosed with PTSD are receiving benefits from the VA. It is our duty to make sure the men and women who risk their lives and sacrifice so much for our values and freedoms, are taken care of when they return home," said Rep. Hall. "This rule will have a dramatic impact on Vietnam veterans as well. It can be especially difficult to find evidence of a traumatic incident 40 years after the fact. Many Vietnam veterans who were denied PTSD benefits in the past may now be eligible."
Congressman Hall has taken the lead on this issue, introducing the COMBAT PTSD Act (H.R. 952), which focused exclusively on creating a presumption of service connected disability for veterans diagnosed with PTSD. Hall discussed the issue with President Obama during a meeting at the White House in early 2009, which led to a meeting with Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. By August of 2009, the VA announced that it was drafting the rule.
"PTSD cases are routinely the most complicated cases for the VA to confirm, requiring drawn out investigations by the VA. This new rule cuts down on lengthy investigations and allows VA employees to focus their efforts on new cases and serve more of our veterans," said Rep. Hall.
The new rule will make it easier for all veterans suffering from PTSD to receive VA health care and disability compensation. This new rule makes disability benefits available to more veterans, including some who may have been denied benefits in the past.
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America Legislative Associate Tom Tarantino said, "IAVA strongly supports this rule change and thanks Congressman Hall for his leadership on this issue. This change will benefit veterans of all generations, including those serving in our current conflicts."
"Finally, I can get the help I need with my PTSD," said Iraq War Veteran Robert Kingsley of Goshen, NY. "This problem has deeply impacted my life, and I struggle with it every day. Thank you Congressman Hall for recognizing that the VA needs to treat PTSD as a severe disability."
Since his election to the US House of Representatives in 2006, and as Chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs, Congressman Hall has been a tireless advocate for the proper care of our veterans.
On Wednesday, Rep. Hall was warmly greeted by a large group of veterans and veterans advocates at a gathering held at the American Legion Yorktown Post #1009 in Yorktown Heights, NY. When he mentioned that the PTSD rule change was right around the corner, the veterans gave him a standing ovation and thanked him profusely for his efforts on their behalf.

Rather disapointing that only combat veterns are covered by this new policy. If one got PTSD while on duty that is service connected regardless of how, where, or when the stressor happended. A policy of giving different levels of care and compensation because of your injury, where and when it happend seem rather contrived to keep aid from veterns that need and deserve it. When someone is injured give them equal treatment eliminate the policys that prohibit fair treatment for all that have served and live with PTSD.
I just got my 100% rateing after 9 years of going back and forth with the VA. I hired a lawyer in 1/10, don't know if they did me any good but it is worth the 25 grand they charged me… They are still denying me an increase from 30% for my PTSD, so the lawyer is still working on my files and med records and says I can still get 70% for my PTSD over the 100% they just gave me for my Cardio… Another $500.00 a month…
The retro check sure was nice to get over a $140,000.00, but the monthly increase from $601.00 to almost $2,900.00 is a great increase…
The C&P exam is a F—k'n Joke, those doctors I've seen for a 20 minutes are like being in a car accident and seeing the other guys insurance doctor…. Don't shower or wear clean cloths, and cry a lot about night mares and FLASHBACKS!!!!!!
My VA claim for service-connected disability compensation began with service beginning 60 years ago during the Unpleasantness in Korea, as I call it since people stateside were reluctant to call it a war. Coulda fooled me. After FOUR years since I filed my claim, Congressman Hall has opened it up to being settled in my favor. His move is a tremendous support to General Shinseki who is doing the impossible in getting the VA to begin turning around.
The VA claim system is cruel, broken and they do not care. They will do anything to deny a claim. My brother submitted a claim for PTSD in 10/07. He was denied in May 08, appealed and was finally given a PTSD Comp & Pen hearing in 4/09 which concluded "Chronic and Continuing PTSD". He received his denial in 5/10 with no mention of the hearing. When presented with a copy of the 4/09 PTSD hearing report from the VA's physiatrist and military evidence of every stressful event documented, he has this week been notified by the VA that he has to have another PTSD Comp & Pen hearing. Why? How long do you think he will have to wait after that hearing for a determination. Vietnam Veterans have suffered more than any other veterans and it is continuing. Does this sound like the system is working!!!!!
You are right.
And as you know there are 100,000s out there just like your brother.
But never has the VA Sec called the system "unfair" before and implemented changes.
But I know what you must feel: I'll feel the changes when my brother is respected for his serivce.
Don't give up.
Best to your family.
Congressman Hall, I thank you for all your efforts in making sure we aren't left behind by a society that refuses to deal with this very real problem.

Hi, My husband and I along with our 3 year old daughter are considering a cruise this summer from Barcelona for 7 nights, possibly on the Norwegian Epic.
I can't find any information on what you would expect to pay for alcoholic drinks, wine, beer gin & tonic etc on board, only that I hear they are expensive.
Is it worth purchasing a drinks package? Does it work out any cheaper obviously depending on how much you drink, bearing in mind with a 3 year old in tow we are not planning on going crazy.
any additional info about the Norwegian Epic in particular appreciated like whether the kids facilities are good, food of a good standard etc.
Thanks in advance

Hi, My husband and I along with our 3 year old daughter are considering a cruise this summer from Barcelona for 7 nights, possibly on the Norwegian Epic.
Report Abuse
Epic is fantastic for kids. The kids program is outstanding! We did it last year with GD who was 4 years old at the time. She absolutely loved it. They had wonderful activities all the time. The staff was excellent, and best of all, they are perfectly organized and were strict about checking the children in and out. We felt totally confident that she was very safe and well cared for. You can also leave your child while you eat or take in a show.
We took GD on a different cruise ship and did not feel it was safe to leave her in the kid's area. We already liked Epic, but seeing the comparison made us really appreciate it.
I think you can sign your child up for their program online and be all ready when you board the ship. DD took care of signing her up, so not sure how she did it.
The whole staff is nice to children. Out cabin steward made the towel animals for our GD every day.
We have taken 7 cruises with 5 different cruise lines. Food in the buffet on the Epic was the best of any of the cruises. Food in the dining room was quite good also on the nights we ate there.
Are they doing Cirque on your cruise? If so, do get tickets. You must get them ahead. Our GD absolutely loved it. She also like Blue Man, which I do not like. Second City is lots of fun. Sign up for shows online so you are sure to get tickets.
If it gets crowded around the pool, there is a nice, very quiet, upper deck with lovely sun beds and clamshells. DD took GD up there to sit and read, etc.
You are in for a great cruise on Epic, a perfect ship for families.
Are you considering others? We have done Princess, Celebrity, NCL, RCCL and MSC.
Report Abuse
We didn't sign up for a drinks package on our Norwegian cruise - I think you'd need to be consuming a reasonably heavy amount of alcohol for it to pay off.
Also, I think both of you need to sign up - they don't let just one of a pair do it, for obvious reasons! Di
Report Abuse
I should also have added that you can sign up once on board, after you've had the chance to suss out prices etc. Di
Report Abuse
You can all your info here:
$54 per person per day if bought on-line and BOTH in cabin must purchase this as stated above.
Report Abuse
I think you can also buy booze for use in your cabin too and its less than the daily fee abov., way less.
Report Abuse
On NCL, if you buy alcohol duty free in the ship's shop, it is stored for you until you leave the cruise.
If you buy alcohol on a shore trip, same thing happens - they want you out of your cabin, spending dollars, basically! Di
Report Abuse
True but there is another option too. You can buy booze or at least wine to use in your cabin only. Most other lines let you bring two bottles of wine per cabin upon embarkation only but NCL doesn't do that. You can buy it from them however to use in your cabin. From the list I saw the prices are a bit higher that Princess or Celebrity.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the replies everyone, appreciate the time you've taken. Really useful to know that you can buy wine for your cabin as it doesn't sound like we would benefit from the drinks package.
Great to know that the Epic is great for kids, and yes there is Cirque on the ship we are considering so I will book in advance for that.
Report Abuse
Should add that we also considered the Disney cruise and also Allure of the seas but both far more expensive than NCL so based on that we ruled them both out.
Report Abuse
Disney cruises are a lot more usually and they also get them very high ratings and the Allure is one of those new ships that gets a lot of passengers as they want to see something so new and so different but I think you will be very happy with your choice
Report Abuse
I would love to take GD on a Disney cruise. It is just not in our budget.
While there where things I did not like for myself (there always are - like the pool areas were noisy), the Epic was so wonderful for our GD, we were happy with the choice. Do sign up for all the shows online, even the free ones, to be sure you get tickets and with Cirque, to be sure you get good seats.
For us anyway, Cirque was worth every penny and we booked the higher priced seats. GD was right up front where the performers could touch her. She stood with great excitement for the whole show. The food for the show was filet mignon, and was very good. Even with tickets, get to the show as early as possible so your dinner can get started.
Don't bother paying extra for things like the kid's pancake breakfasts - not worth it. They will see all the characters at other events.
Report Abuse
On the topic of drinks packages, I think it is difficult to say, but you have to be a pretty big drinker to come out on top. I drink mostly wine and maybe have other drink per day. And that's a lot of drinking for me.
I wouldn't choose an alcoholic drinks package because I'd have to stick with house wines, which are uniformly pretty mediocre. So I can't imagine ever getting my money's worth. I do sometimes buy the wine-by-the-bottle packages, but I find keeping track of the little slips of paper very annoying.
Regarding soda cards, some of my relatives drink a 20-ounce soda with every single meal (including breakfast), so a soft drinks package would be a good buy for them.
Report Abuse
One more thing on drinks - the iced water served by NCL staff when you get back to the wharf / ship after excursions, and at all meals was just delightful and so refreshing . . . no real need for alcohol, as far as I was concerned! Di
Report Abuse
Thanks again, invaluable information provided by everyone for a first time cruiser. I feel re-assured we have made a good choice with the epic, now need to part with the cash and book it.
Good point Doug about the choice of wine,I'd be very dissapointed if the house wine was only average on a drinks package when there were other options available.
Sassafrass - My daughter will love Cirque by the sounds of it too, we took her to her first panto last christmas and she wasn't quite 3 years old. she sat like a statue engrossed for 3 hours, we were amazed!
Thank you again
Report Abuse
I can only speak for Celebrity which has a variety of drinks packages one which includes premium wines but not access to everything on the list. It has never made sense for us to purchase the packages which in the case of Celebrity, add a 18.5% gratuity on top of the per person charge.
So, read the fine print. One premium water package, for example, doesn't include bottled water delivered to the cabin. Lots of little quirks.

Hid 2009 wk
Forgive me in advance, I know this may be the thousandth time it's been asked but...what all will I need to convert over to HID lights? I have an '09 WK Rocky Mountain Package since it has a few upgrades over a stock Laredo I wasn't sure if it did in fact have a Canbus system or anything that might cause some complications.
I am a complete NOOB to this forum, and to JEEP vehicles in general. I had never been in one until I bought it. Btw, I am absolutely in love with it! I've already swapped out the stock grille inserts and made my own courtesy of this forum, and am in the process of minor visual upgrades. It's a GD sickness.
Anyways, any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Re: Hid 2009 wk
What do you want to do? HIDs in your stock halogen housing or a switch over to true HID projectors?
2 Attachment(s)
Not sure the difference, or if it's worth it. What are your thoughts? I mean is it worth the money to put in the projectors?
Here are a couple picks of my custom grille insert...courtesy of your earlier threads. Haha
Re: Hid 2009 wk
I've done both. The simplest and cheaper way are HID in your halogen housings. Just 2 ballasts/2 bulbs/relay and you are good to go. NO canbus system on our rigs but you will need a relay for it to function properly.
As for the projectors, it cost a bit more but worth it IMO. The projectors headlights can cost anywhere from $200-800. You will still need the projector bulbs+ballasts and a relay.

Ergon Energy Review
Queensland government-owned Ergon Energy retails electricity to regional Queensland residential and business customers, "from the expanding coastal and rural population centres to the remote communities of outback Queensland and the Torres Strait", extending across around 97 per cent of the state.
Ergon was formed in 1999 by the Queensland government from the then six regional state electricity distributors and their subsidiary retailer, with its principal operating companies now being electricity distributor Ergon Energy Corporation and subsidiary electricity retailer Ergon Energy Queensland.
"We are all about delivering on our purpose to provide safe, reliable, efficient and sustainable energy solutions to support our customers and the Queensland economy" Ergon states.
What does Ergon Energy offer?
Ergon Energy says that it offers a range of tariffs to suit your lifestyle and household needs. Consumers interested in Ergon tariffs can compare them via the Ergon website, and can also request a call back or follow-up email contact via the website, or contact Ergon directly by phone. Ergon's residential tariffs include its:
• Tariff 11 Residential: Ergon states that Tariff 11 is its most common tariff for residential customers in Queensland, providing a flat rate throughout the day and night, plus a daily supply charge.
• Tariff 12A Residential Time of Use: Tariff 12A has different pricing periods during the day and night over summer, with its time of use pricing being active only during the summer months of December to February inclusive, while for the remainder of the year, March to November inclusive, electricity is charged at the off-peak rate at all times.
• Economy tariffs: Ergon states that its economy tariffs, Tariff 31 Super Economy and Tariff 33 Economy, are suited for appliances such as hot water systems and pool filters that don't need a constant supply of power, being cheaper because Ergon controls the times when power is available. These tariffs can be used in conjunction with all other residential tariffs at the same address, however cannot be used to run an entire household or business.
Ergon also offers a number of rural tariffs, designed for purposes such as farming and irrigation, while customers with an eligible solar power system can access the regional feed-in tariff for the power they export to the network.
Ergon Clean Energy
Ergon customers can also subscribe to its Clean Energy program, accredited by GreenPower (a voluntary government accredited program that enables an electricity provider to purchase renewable energy on a household's or business' behalf).
"Clean energy is drawn from three renewable energy sources – wind, hydro and biomass," Ergon explains. "Each source produces zero net greenhouse gas emissions, which is great news for the environment.
"We purchase renewable energy from sources located all over regional Queensland, including the wind farm at Windy Hill near Ravenshoe, solar farm in Wide Bay and biomass plants at a number of sugar mills."
Customer can purchase either $12, $30, $60, $90 or $120 Clean Energy (price per quarter), which Ergon states respectively makes up 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 per cent Clean Energy usage of the average regional Queensland home.
Customers can update their account details online, requesting to change their account details via an online form, and can receive communications such as bills and reminders by email or by post.
Payment options include by Visa or MasterCard via Ergon's BPoint payment portal, by direct debit, which provides the flexibility to pay weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly, BPay, by credit card via phone, electronic funds transfer, or in person at an Australia Post office.

Valentine's Fall(2009)
A novel by Cary Fagan
This isn't a fairy tale. Valentine Schwartz had it all: his raven-haired girlfriend was the most beautiful girl in school, he came from a rich family, and his best friend, Huddie Rosen, all but worshipped him. But he wasn't the brightest and was known for making mistakes. And no one could have foreseen him falling off the roof of his high school, in a suit of medieval armour, ending his life at the tender age of seventeen. Huddie Rosen moved on. He went to the University of Tennessee and fell in love with bluegrass music. It leads him to a new life in Europe where he starts a family. But when his family life goes sour, Huddie decides to go back to Toronto for his first visit in twenty-five years. As he begins to reconnect with his old friends, he soon finds himself wrapped up in their lives. It's a wonder anyone was able to live without him. And as his old and new lives begin to clash, he finds himself wondering which life is better. Valentine's Fall is a fast-paced, quick-witted novel that explores themes of remembrance, regret, and redemption.

The key ingredients of SARS
Shalin Hai-Jew
It is hard to get a true sense of how close humanity may have come to a runaway pandemic.
Karl Taro Greenfield, in "China Syndrome: The True Story of the 21st Century's First Great Epidemic," portrays Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) as just that particular virus that could have sparked a destructive swath through humanity.
It was 2003. Greenfield was the editor of TIME Asia. Contrary to the magazine's reputation, this was a job assignment for those somewhat battered by the world.
"We had reporters who hadn't finished high school, editors who had been in and out of rehab, such as myself, and staffers who were still wrestling with nasty substance habits," he observed.
The prestigious magazine was restricted from distribution on mainland China because of a news story about the Falun Gong movement that offended a high official in Beijing.
It would be this ragtag crew that would bring in one of the world's biggest stories-about an emergent disease with pandemic potential.
From his HK office, Greenfield traveled to the mainland to cover various stories. One common destination was Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. In 2003, it was the Era of Wild Flavor, a time of rollicking free market enterprise after decades of stultifying political wrangling under Maoist communism. Now that the entire country had turned into a "special economic zone" with a liberalizing of trade and private property ownership, the rule in China's markets was to sell, and the speed of money changing hands was dizzying.
On the streets, there were plastic surgeons plying their trade for "cheaper eyes, lips, and breasts, rather than better ones." There were high-end boutiques selling Louis Vuitton and Dunhill alongside fly-by-night generics which take over retail spaces.
There were floods of people from the various provinces to the hot trade centers along the coasts, and this mass urbanization left the populace unmoored socially and economically.
Those who have made their bundles of cash were spending it on sparkling conspicuous consumption-bling, name brands, prostitutes, cars, and apartments. Along with this nouveau riche lifestyle was the consumption of wild animals of "virtually every species on land, sea, or air," with this Wild Flavor conveying respect (face), luck, and prosperity.
Hunters who bagged fresh and dried tiger penises (from Sumatra), brown bear bladders (from Canada), lizards, camel, dogs, monkeys, and otters, supplied millions of animals to this market annually. The Wild Animal Protection Department at the Guangzhou Forestry Bureau was supposed to regulate the Wild Flavor restaurants, but new ones were opening up all over the city without any oversight.
To fulfill the appetite for fresh meat, these exotic animals were kept stacked in foul cages in public areas.
When an order for a particular delicacy came in, the cooks would dispatch them and create the particular dish. The conditions in the kitchens were grim-with all sorts of animal fluids splashing on the cooks, who were often just new-hires from the migrant pool off the streets.
These wet markets turned out not only to be the "hot zone" from which SARS emerged and apparently jumped from animals into people, but also the potent symbol of rampant development.
With the shift from government-provided medicine to privatized healthcare, only 13% of the mainland population (the highest of any country in the world) had health insurance. Individuals were self-diagnosing and self-medicating, or occasionally going to the street doctors.
When SARS broke out, these street physicians doled out prescriptions of fungal tea and noodle soup; others diagnosed an imbalance of chi ("life energy" in the Daoist philosophy). While individuals were left to fend for themselves, the government health surveillance system was essentially non-existent. It had few ways of knowing what infections were making their way through the populace.
The health infrastructure was poor. During the rainy season, Shenzhen's citizens would suffer outbreaks of the snail-borne blood fluke-caused disease schistosomiasis because of the mixing of human sewage with the drinking water. The author notes: "Recently throughout the Pearl River Delta, there have been measles epidemics, meningitis outbreaks, and waves of dengue fever, malaria, and encephalitis."
Embedded in this mass of humanity were a few scientists and public health workers who strove to protect human and health against the potential rampages of a zoonotic disease. "With their territory flush against influenza's hottest zone, China's Guangdong province, Hong Kong's medical and scientific community must be ever vigilant against new influenza strains and possible species jumpers," he explains.
Greenfield opens "China Syndrome" with a scene in Penfold Park, Kowloon, HK, China. It is November 29, 2002, and there were birds dying. Nearby, the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Sha Tin racecourse houses some $140 million worth of thoroughbreds. A prior outbreak of equine influenza (in 1992) had resulted in 600 infected thoroughbreds and the cancellation of seven races and $128 million in lost income.
Unusual animal die-offs were brought to the attention of the Tai Lung Veterinary Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Conservation. This office's necropsy lab (which is a Bio Safety Level III lab) conducted autopsies of "4,000 birds, 750 fish, 200 pigs, and 250 dogs and cats every year". More than 50% of the lab's budget went to influenza because of the outsized fear of an avian flu outbreak, a hemorrhagic fever that reduced chicken coops "into a mass of goop and feathers in just two days."
In the 1997 avian flu outbreak in Hong Kong, this virus jumped species into people and killed 33 percent of those it infected. Fortunately it was contained to just 18 human cases in Hong Kong then, but it resulted in the slaughter of more than 3 million chickens and ducks and cost their economy about $1 billion.
The fear was that H5N1 was going to gain a genetic foothold, swap genes (reassort), and emerge as contagious as the human flu but with the morbidity of avian flu.
With 24 million chickens a year coming into HK from the PRC, health professionals were on the front line to keeping avian flu from jumping off into the world through global air travel

India's stern message to Maldives on GMR issue
India warned Maldives that recourse to any such action would have adverse consequences for bilateral relations.
New Delhi: In a stern message to Maldives, India on Tuesday said it expected no arbitrary and coercive action should be taken pending the outcome of legal proceedings on the GMR contract issue and warned that recourse to any such action would have adverse consequences for bilateral relations.
In response to a question on the GMR issue, the official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs also said, "We are concerned over reports from the Maldives about continuing violence and intimidation against elected representatives and expressions of radical sentiments".
He asked Maldives to ensure that the rule of law "is upheld and principles and tenets of democracy are maintained. We will continue to monitor the situation closely."
Referring to the telephonic conversation Maldivian Foreign Minister Abdul Samad Abdullah had with External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, the official spokesperson said the Maldivian minister had mentioned that his government would not allow relations between his country and India to be undermined and there was consensus on this issue.
During the conversation, Khurshid reminded the Foreign Minister of Maldives of his earlier discussions noting that the legal processes involved in the GMR case should be permitted to take their own course based on the contractual obligations of the parties involved and the Maldivian government should not allow the situation to go out of hand.
Abdullah called up Khurshid in a bid to mollify an upset India following the Maldivian government's decision to terminate GMR's $500-million airport project in Male.

Hawaiian flowers, palm trees, sea turtles and similar themes are just some of the icons you may find on the familiar tropical button-up shirts. Although people from the mainland often mistakenly call them "Hawaiian shirts," the proper term is for this famous article of clothing is "aloha shirt."
There are generally two kinds of aloha shirts. The first is the type of shirt typically worn by local businessmen, which is printed, usually short sleeved and collared, having buttons through the full shirt. Another kind of aloha shirt is the pullover with button mid-way through the shirt, which is probably the most popular aloha shirt style for local businessmen. The second style is the silky looking aloha shirt, which was made famous by Tom Selleck in television series Magnum, P.I. Aloha shirts can feature anything from standard floral patterns, to more contemporary elements like logos, drinks, team names or automobiles. However, nature-themed prints are the more traditional versions of the aloha shirt.
History of the Aloha Shirt
Aloha shirts first came on the scene in 1935, when the Honolulu Advertiser noted the item for sale at a store called Musashi-ya Shoten in Honolulu. The store was first opened by Chotaro Miyamoto, a Japanese immigrant to Hawaii, in 1904. His son was reputedly the first to sew and sell the aloha shirt. This style shirt began to gain global attention when men and women in the armed forces, after being stationed in Hawaii and elsewhere in the Pacific in the 1930's and 1940's, returned adorned with these appealing tropical shirts. When tourism in Hawaiian increased in the 1950's, the shirts' popularity became apparent across the United States as well. Designers in Hawaii saw the opportunity, and began to develop printing methods and high-level output for these iconic shirts. A textile manufacturer named Alfred Shaheen was one of the first to transform the garment industry into intricate design and high volume shirt production. He printed and produced aloha shirts rapidly, as they were becoming a favorite souvenir for many tourists. Though the sometimes garish and brightly printed shirts appeared tawdry on returning tourists, they were undeniably iconic, as Elvis Presley proved when wearing a Shaheen red aloha shirt for his album cover for the Blue Hawaii soundtrack (1961).
Some of the more contemporary manufacturers are Reyn Spooner, who many considered to be the premier manufacturer of business aloha shirts today. The company originated from a store owner Reyn McCoullough, who opened his first business in the 1940's in Catalina Island. He eventually joined forces with Spooner's Waikiki stand in Oahu, and the team began quality shirt production. The designers received enormous praise for the intricate and unique shirt making, a trend which has continued today. A classic Reyn Spooner shirt is the nene goose aloha shirt Spooner shirts are high-end, ranging around $90 each. Other makers are old-time Hawaiian designers Kahala, and the family-owned Tori Richard, who specialize in chiffon, silk and cotton lawn material.
Aloha Friday and Aloha Week
It is not uncommon to see men on the mainland today, occasionally wearing aloha shirts in the work place on what is called "casual Fridays;" but this trend actually began many decades ago in Hawaii. In the mid 1940's, the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii passed a resolution allowing their employees to wear aloha shirts during the sweltering Hawaiian summers. Over 20 years later, the president of Hawaii Fashion Guild, Bill Foster, Sr. organized a campaign enabling men to wear aloha shirts to work on Fridays, in 1965. Though this campaign was implemented in 1966, just a few years later in 1970, aloha shirts became accepted for any day of the week in Hawaii. For the last 40 to 50 years, aloha shirts have been considered the standard business attire for men, and are worn in lieu of suits or other formal attire.
Aloha shirts are prevalently worn every day in Hawaii, and are not just for special occasions. However, a great time to enjoy an array of Hawaiian culture and traditions is during the Aloha Festivals. This tradition first began in 1947 as a week-long festival celebrating Hawaiian music, dance, sports and traditions in Ala Moana Park, called "Aloha Week." The festivities occurred in October, in the hopes that the events would draw more vacationers to the Hawaiian Islands in what was generally a slow month for tourism. Women wore mu'umu'us and men wore aloha shirts, making it the prime place to admire all the unique designs; colors and prints of aloha wear. The festival started in Oahu, but grew in popularity and expanded to all the islands, and by 1991 the Aloha Week became known as the Aloha Festivals. The celebrations are free, open to the public and are designed to promote Hawaiian heritage and culture. There are many parades, events and ceremonies, which use the help of over 30,000 local volunteers and entertain over 1,000,000 visitors throughout the State of Hawaii. For those who want to enjoy Hawaiian music, food, and culture, October might be the perfect month to plan a vacation to the islands.

Centenary of the Boxer RebellionPrint Page
A monument commemorates the Centenary of the Boxer Rebellion and the embarkation of the HMCS Protector, which sailed from South Australia for this conflict in China on the 6th of August 1900.
The Boxer Rebellion, Boxer Uprising or Yihetuan Movement was a violent anti-foreign and anti-Christian movement which took place in China towards the end of the Qing dynasty between 1898 and 1900. It was initiated by the Militia United in Righteousness (Yihetuan), known in English as the "Boxers", and was motivated by proto-nationalist sentiments and opposition to foreign imperialism and Christianity. The Great Powers intervened and defeated Chinese forces.
By the end of May 1900 Britain, Italy, and the United States had warships anchored off the Chinese coast at Taku, the nearest port to Peking. Armed contingents from France, Germany, Austria, Russia, and Japan were on their way. In June, as a western force marched on Peking, the Dowager Empress T'zu-hsi sent imperial troops to support the Boxers. Further western reinforcements were dispatched to China as the conflict widened.
Australian colonies were keen to offer material support to Britain. With the bulk of forces engaged in South Africa, they looked to their naval contingents to provide a pool of professional, full-time crews, as well as reservist-volunteers, including many ex-naval men. The reservists were mustered into naval brigades, in which the training was geared towards coastal defence by sailors capable of ship handling and fighting as soldiers. When the first Australian contingents, mostly from New South Wales and Victoria, sailed on 8 August 1900, troops from eight other nations were already engaged in China.

Ripoff Report

Sallie Mae I have the receipts for the past four months of payments made to my student loan. Each month I receive a statement saying I am over due and they keep saying I haven't paid. As I write, the paperwork is sitting in my lap. What is hilarious is they even sent me a check saying they owed me a months payment and reimbursed me. I cashed the check and sent it back. The evidence is so telling that they are receiving my mail. From this day forward I am not sending them one more dime until they acknowledge the last four months payments. I am done with these people. Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania

I have stayed current with my student loan since 2004. There have been times when I would have to have them deferred but I am current as of this date. For the last three months I am getting overdue statements and additional charges with each statement. As I write this I have all of the proof in my lap of every payment made.
This last one says I owe three months back, with overdue charges to boot. They even sent me a check two months ago saying that they owed me. I cashed the check and used it to double up on the July payment. That would be 60.00 dollars.
No one is availabel online and not one can be reached by phone. This company is evil that is the only way to describe them. I am now at a loss and will not be sending anymore money to them until they acknowledge the payments that they have cashed and not credited to me.

Weekly Review April 19th 2010
The Dollar finished the week unchanged versus the Euro and the Pound weakening versus the Yen and gaining versus the commodity linked currencies. The Dollar started the week weaker after the new Greece bailout plan was announced but managed to regain strength after concerns the Greece aid package will falter and Goldman Sachs fraud accusations by the Fed. Volatility returned to the markets with a 14% incline of the VIX following Goldman's accusations and the declines in the equity markets that followed. NASDAQ declined by -1.37% and Dow Jones gained by 0.10%. Crude Oil weakened by -1.98% closing at 83.24$ a barrel and Gold (XAU) dropped by -2.14% closing at 1,136.3$. Looking ahead, Goldman accusation could be the trigger for massive declines as the Fed may call for further restrictions and regulations on banks. Fed Chairman Bernanke will speak in Chicago on Monday. PPI, Existing Home Sales and the weekly Unemployment Claims are all expected better on Thursday. Core Durable Goods Orders and New Home Sales will be released on Friday.
The Euro finished unchanged versus the Dollar after opening the week with a large gap up after a new bailout plan by the EU was announced and declined throughout the week as the new bailout plan seemed to not be effective enough. The fed announcement regarding the lawsuit against Goldman Sachs made the Euro drop as uncertainty reentered the markets. Overall, EUR/USD traded with a high of 1.3692 and a low of 1.3472. EUR/USD's failure to cross above 1.37 and the gap signal the downtrend is likely to continue. Looking Ahead, The Euro is likely to continue being affected mostly by Greece's default concerns and Goldman Sachs news which may trigger stronger demand to the safety of the Dollar and the Yen. German Zew Economic Sentiment and German PPI are expected stronger on Tuesday. Manufacturing and Services PMI are expected on Thursday. German Ifo Business Climate is expected higher on Friday.
The Pound gained by 0.1% versus the Dollar after not being able to sustain its early week gains. Consumer Confidence dropped and a dovish announcement by the BOE regarding the credit conditions and business spending contributed to the decline of the Pound. Goldman Sachs Sec fraud suit contributed to the surge in Risk Aversion. Inflation data this week will be important regarding the next BOE interest rate decision next month that might lead to an ending of the QE program to avoid inflation. Overall, GBP/USD traded with a high of 1.5523 and a low of 1.5335. GBP/USD reached new monthly highs but couldn't sustain its profits. The pair's major trend on the weekly chart continues to be bearish and the Pound could head to its monthly lows at 1.48. Looking Ahead, The upcoming week is full with high impact announcements for the Pound. CPI is expected higher on Tuesday. Claimant Count Change and MPC Meeting Minutes will be released on Wednesday. Public Sector Net Borrowing and Retail Sales are expected on Thursday. Prelim GDP is expected unchanged with 0.4%.

I hung by one hand on Jenny's belt.
Seth's broken body lay far below.
Xenodemons gathered around it, squabbling over who would eat
it first.
I grabbed a chunk of rock from the tunnel wall and hurled it
at them.
They scattered, shrieking.
Jenny began to continue our ascent up.
"NO!" I cried, flinging my free hand wildly around.
Tears blurred my vision. Spots danced before my eyes.
Rage, anger, despair…..emotions boiled in my very core.
My hearts beat out a staccato rhythm, my weak left heart
stinging with pain as adrenalin ran through my veins.

With her own free hand, Jenny squeezed my shoulder.
"Let's go."

Exotic plants surrounded us, damp ground beneath our feet.
Colorful birds crested the zenith of the dome, glancing down
But I couldn't see them.
All I could see were Seth's vivid blue eyes, looking into my
own. The fire beneath him.
I'm sorry…..
I turned to Jenny.
Her wide blue eyes…..paler than Seth's….were looking at me
with concern.
"I'm…fine." My normally low voice cracked. I wiped furiously
at my eyes.
I had to keep going.
I opened my eyes.
I felt as though I'd been run over by a large truck.
I groaned, trying to push myself to my feet.
My right leg buckled and I cried out in pain.
Xenodemons had torn into the flesh on my right arm. They had
devoured some of my neck as well……my shirt was in strips.
Blood pooled around me…from me and the xenodemons. They had
hurt each other fighting over me.
My head felt light as though it was full of air.
The room spun around me.
I could barely breathe.
My cheek was pressed against the hot hard ground.
How was I alive? I fell hundreds of feet!
I glanced at the cavernous space where the Xenodemon had

The fight was over.
The cave had stabilized.
Other than the intense heat, it was pretty safe.
But I was injured. Vi thought I was dead.
I couldn't get out.
I was doomed to starve down here.
"HELP!" I screamed. My voice cracked from the effort.
[Victoria's Perspective - Tenth Doctor, not Eleventh]
The building shook.
The cave beneath was collapsing and this whole place would
come down with it.
"Jenny! Find re-breathers and moon shoes for everyone and
get these people out of here!"
I weaved through the panicked millionaires and delegates
scrambling in all directions, Jenny now shouting orders over the clamor.
I had heard something.
A voice.
Maybe it was just me.
But even if I died trying I would save Seth – If what I had
heard was real.
I ran down the eerily silent tunnel leading to the biodome.

Startled birds cawed, screeched and whistled as I plunged
towards the cavern entrance.
It was still there.
I got down on my hands and knees and peered inside.
Lava had spewed from one corner of the room, almost covering
half of the floor already.
Seth was alive.
He was alive!
He had crawled on top of a boulder, his leg at a funny
He looked up.
"You came back!"
My hearts throbbed.
"Grab my sonic as it comes down!"
I detached the end, held on to it and dropped it down, the
silver wire glistening in the firelight.
Seth grabbed on and wrapped it round his chest and under his
arms, tugging it taut.
I leaned back and put the wire over my shoulder, hauling his
deadweight up.
The tension released and I spun round.
He lay panting on the ground by the tunnel.
I rushed to him and wrapped my arms round him.
"I thought I'd lost you," I murmured into his ear.
He held me tight, burying his face in my hair.
"I thought I'd lost me too," he said with a hoarse laugh.
I looked at his leg.
The bone of his shin was protruding through the skin.
"Oh my gawd - your leg!" I gasped in horror.
He twisted round to look at it.
"Oh yeah. That. Well, I can't fall several feet unscathed
now can I? That would be you, not me," he chuckled.
I gave him a dry glare.
The ground beneath us shook.
"Come on then," I offered him my hand.
He took it and I pulled him up.
He hobbled into position next to me so that his injured leg
was closest to me.
I let him lean on me.
We half-ran out of the biodome and down the long tunnel as
the ground behind us lurched and began to fall into the cavern far below.
"Keep moving!" I yelled above the roar of falling rock just
behind us.
I cast a feverish glance over my shoulder to see a gaping
hole forming steadily towards us, various plants from the biodome falling into
the fiery pit.
The airlock into the rest of the building was just ahead.
I fumbled with the keypad with one hand while supporting
Seth with the other.
"Screw it." I muttered, sonicking it.Sparksflew and the door slid open.
I threw Seth in and tumbled after him just as the ground
fell away completely beneath my feet.
The glass tunnel we had just run through from the biodome
collapsed in a spray of glass shards, the oxygen in the airlock vacuuming out.
I clamped my fingers around the edge of the doorway, my feet
extending into the blackness of space.
Seth was lying on the ground, both hands wrapped around a
thin pipe near the second airlock door.
I screamed as one of my hands slipped.
Seth looked back, reaching a hand out to me.
I took it and he hauled me inside.
I kicked the control panel on the inside and the airlock
door slammed shut.
I fell to the ground with a thud.
Seth was gulping in air, his whole body shaking on the white
plastic floor.
I crawled over to him on my hands and knees, lying down next
to him.
He turned his head and looked at me.
"Let's never do that again," He moaned.
We laughed uncontrollably.
I wrapped my arms around his neck.
He smiled.
The ground shook.
In an instant we were falling.
Falling through fire and rock.
Seth reached out towards me.
I grabbed him and held him close.
"No matter what happens…. Don't! Let! GO!" I told him.
He nodded.
I touched my watch.
The world around us exploded into a kaleidoscope of colors.
We were in the time vortex again.
Seth breathed a sigh of relief.
I smiled, letting the soothing warmth of the ethereal flames
seep into my skin.
"I thought….that we were going to die." He whispered.
I gazed into his bright blue eyes.
"Us….. Die? Never!"
He grinned.
The colors faded away.
Seth looked down at his leg in surprise. It had been healed
by the power of the vortex.
We were standing on a viewing platform in the moon base –
but it wasn't exploding…..
It was abandon and dark. Outside, the biodome was only
Cold, dead, machines were scattered everywhere…… It was
still undergoing construction obviously.
Voices were floating towards us from down the hall.
I pulled Seth away. We hid in the shadows, crouching down.
A man stepped from the darkness.
It was the man I had seen in the visions upon crossing
Not the man with a mysterious smile.
The man with rich brown eyes and spiky hair.
It was the Doctor.
He was wearing a pinstripe suit and chatting away with
someone behind him.
I almost screamed when I saw who it was.
It was my mum.
She was younger, but still my mum.
She was smiling and nodding, listening to him.
They stood on the platform, looking out over the moon base.
The Doctor put his finger on the glass, pointing to
She smiled.
He wrapped his arm around her.
She put her head on his chest.
Their heads grew closer and closer together until their lips
I knew what was coming next.
I turned away – so did Seth.
We half crawled, half walked, down the hall into the
Something clinked behind me.
I winced.
My sonic had fallen out of my pocket.
"What's wrong?" – Mum.
"I…I thought I heard something,"
Somehow his voice wasn't how I'd always imagined it.
"What am I doing?"
"No….get away from me!"
The sound of a slap stung my ears.
He'd struck at her.
The Doctor had hit my mum.
The sound of clothing rustling and feet walking swiftly away
met my ears.
And a woman was sobbing.
I stood.
"Vi! What the hell are you doing?" Seth hissed.
I walked partially into the light.
Rose, my mum, was crouching on the platform on the balls of
her feet, a pale blue blanket wrapped around her thin form.
Mascara ran in dark streaks down her face.
She turned to look at me when I cleared my throat.
"This may or may not make sense right now but….I know what
you're going through,"
She glared at me, "Get out of here kid. This is none of your
I bowed my head.
"Actually….Rose Tyler….It
is my business."
She stared at me curiously.
"You see….one day, I'll be someone you care about.
And….well, let's just say I know how the Doctor thinks. He feels as though
he'll lose you if he grows to love you. He thinks….he thinks that everything he
touches withers and dies. He loves you so much that he can't bear to lose you
too….so he never gets too close. One day, something good will come of this
night. Actually, many good things. I hope you understand that,"
Rose stood and hugged the blanket around her.
"You really think so?" She wiped at her face, smearing her
mascara across her cheek.
I grinned.
"Oh I know so."
She walked towards me.
I backed further into the shadows.
"No – come closer…. where I can see you."
I froze.
She pulled on my arm gently until I stumbled towards her.
She gasped.
"Oh! Oh …I think I understand now,"
I avoided her gaze.
"You're….you're mine….aren't you?"
I looked at her.
Her brown eyes explored the details of my face with wonder.
I turned swiftly and ran into the darkness.
Seth rose and scrambled after me, "Hey wait for me!" he
We held hands and I touched my watch.
We ran into the vortex and left the abandon moon base far
But I knew that somewhere in the past, Rose, my mum, was
standing there, staring into the dark where her daughter of the near future had
vanished, holding a boy's hand.
"Rose! We're leaving!" The Doctor snapped.
She turned and walked silently, barefoot, away towards the
distant lights of the T.A.R.D.I.S.
Maybe the girl had been right.
Maybe someday, something good would come of this night.
She touched her middle absently, knowing that tonight something
magical had happened.

Mumbai, May 2: A resurgent Delhi Daredevils, who have risen up the league table after an inconsistence show in the early phase, will look to build a winning momentum when they take on Rajasthan Royals in their IPL cricket match at the Brabourne Stadium here on Sunday.
Daredevils drubbed Kings XI Punjab by nine wickets by riding on a splendid bowling display by comeback pacer Zaheer Khan and the tall Nathan Coulter-Nile at home yesterday.
IPL Special; Points Table; Photos
Rajasthan, on the other hand, slumped to their third loss in their last five games (including two rain wash out matches) with a eight-run defeat against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium last night.
Fortunes seemed to have shifted on the positive side for Delhi, who are now at fourth position with their fourth win from eight games, after arresting their nine-match losing streak in the tournament history at the Feroz Shah Kotla against Mumbai on April 23.
They bounced back in style yesterday to demolish KXIP after suffering a humiliating nine-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore in the previous away game on April 29.
Key batsmen in Mumbai-born lad Shreyas Iyer (281 runs) and Karnataka Ranji cricketer Mayank Agarwal (202 runs) showed good nick with individual half centuries while opening the innings against KXIP to ensure that their brilliant bowling display did not go waste.
Fast bowlers Nathan Coulter-Nile (4 wickets) and Zaheer (2 wickets), who played his first competitive game in any format after a year's absence, had laid the platform for the convincing win by restricting the strong Punjab batting line-up at a mere 118 for eight.
With skipper Jean-Paul Duminy also in good nick with the bat (220 runs) and with his accurate off-spin bowling (8 wickets), the Daredevils have most bases covered though there is a worry over the lack of runs from Yuvraj Singh (124 runs in 7 innings).
The leg spin twins of Amit Mishra (8 wickets) and South African Imran Tahir (13 wickets) may provide the Daredevils with the cutting edge if the track at the Cricket Club of India, Rajasthan's second home venue of the season after Ahmedabad, offers some turn.
Delhi Daredevils: JP Duminy (captain), Quinton de Kock (wicketkeeper), Mayank Agarwal, Manoj Tiwary, Yuvraj Singh, Saurabh Tiwary, Angelo Mathews, Kedar Jadhav (wicketkeeper), Imran Tahir, Amit Mishra, Shahbaz Nadeem, Zaheer Khan, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammed Shami, CM Gautam (wicketkeeper), Gurinder Sandhu, Jayant Yadav, Albie Morkel, Srikar Bharat, Marcus Stoinis, Dominic Joseph Muthuswamy, Shreyas Iyer, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Karapak Jiyas, Travis Head
Rajasthan Royals: Shane Watson (captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith, James Faulkner, Deepak Hooda, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Karun Nair, Dhawal Kulkarni, Tim Southee, Stuart Binny, Chris Morris, Pravin Tambe, Abhishek Nayar, Pardeep Sahu, Rusty Theron, Dinesh Salunkhe, Vikramjit Malik, Rahul Tewatia, Rajat Bhatia, Sagar Trivedi, Dishant Yagnik and Ankit Sharma.

Moore takes early control at challenging Riviera
By Mark Lamport-Stokes
PACIFIC PALISADES, California (Reuters) - Already a winner on the 2014-15 PGA Tour, Ryan Moore put himself in good position to claim another title by seizing an early one-shot lead in the Northern Trust Open second round on Friday.
Three strokes off the pace overnight, the 32-year-old American fired a three-under-par 68 on a firm and fast-running Riviera Country Club layout where most players were struggling to get the ball close with their approach shots.
Moore mixed four birdies with a sole bogey in mainly sunny conditions to post a five-under total of 137, leaving him one ahead of burly Argentine Angel Cabrera, a double major champion who also carded a 68.
Masters champion Bubba Watson, who won last year's Northern Trust Open after shooting bogey-free 64s in the last two rounds, was a further stroke back at three under after returning a 69.
"It was a great, solid round of golf," the bearded Moore, a four-times winner on the PGA Tour, told reporters after missing a four-foot par putt to bogey his final hole.
"It's just tough to have birdie chances that are reasonable on this golf course right now. The greens are so firm and so bouncy. I hit a handful of what I would say are as good of shots as I could possibly hit and I ended up with 45-footers.
"You just know you've got to take advantage of them, if you do get one around the hole. You've got to make it and I've been able to do that," said Moore, who won the fourth event on the 2014-15 PGA Tour, the CIMB Classic in Malaysia in November.
Watson drained a 42-foot eagle putt at the par-five first and a 30-footer for birdie at the par-four second, his 11th hole of the day, but otherwise suffered by leaving himself too far away from the cup for good scoring opportunities. Continued...

Vehicle2000 Ford Ranger XLT 2dr Extended Cab SB
ReviewThis is a great truck that I know is reliable. I have put this truck through hell and it still runs like it is brand new. i have 78,000 miles on it now and it still runs the same. Good power for the engine size, but terrible gas mileage. There are only two things I dislike about the truck. One is it gets terrible gas mileage and the other is that the truck has holes underneath the fender flares. Whoever made this design of holes underneath the flares is not very smart. Some people might want to take those off and now they have 40 or 50 holes in the side of their truck. I am one of these Ford customers who has this problem.
Best FeaturesThe low range for the four wheel drive has a lot of torque. I have been impressed the way the truck pulls in the mud for the size engine it has.
Worst FeaturesMy truck needs to have better gas mileage and to have something done with all of those holes on the outside of my truck, but besides that I like the truck a lot.

About the Owner
About Paula Graham
Casa Fiori is run by myself and my mother. Both of us have visited Italy since the 1960s. I have a degree in Italian and art history and have studied and worked in Italy. Casa Fiori was bought several years ago while I was teaching in Viterbo. With my wide knowledge of Italian language and culture I am able to help with all visitors queries and requests and welcome you to my beautiful home.
Why Paula Graham chose Viterbo Province
The house and gardens are beautiful, the location and views are stunning. The house inside has plenty of its old features whilst having gained some new and striking features. The house is near beautiful Lake Bolsena which is gorgeous at any time of the year, the sunsets are amazing. The animal and birds by the lake are incredible, the Herons fish alongside the human swimmers
What makes this farmhouse unique
A relatively cheap place to stay with all the luxuries of modern living. Exclusive use of the house and gardens. Peace serenity calm beauty and sunshine

Very nice clean house with drinksble water from the tub, perfect for a family, wonderful oliveorchard with old caves underneath, hot springs in 10 Minutes drive, 2000 ore more years old stone street 100m from the house (Via franchigena) - you can do a lot of pilgrim-watching enjoying breakfast in front of your holiday home.
We sure will be there again to watch the open fire! - And oh! You are not so much into holiday cooking? Great Pizza&Burgerplace close by (Blue Tomato)
Lovely place!
The house is in a fab position, at the end of a quirky little street and with a large garden on several levels tumbling down a hillside with views across to the valley. Lizard-hunting fun for any kids! It's like a home-from-home but with the feel of living like an Italian. Normally we stay in large hotels so we appreciated the change! Montefiascone is 5 minutes drive away, a good restaurant is within easy walking distance (crossing the remains of an old Roman road) and there is a super pizzeria in Montefiascone run by an elderly Italian who serves dozens of varieties straight onto the table - no plates! (but a large napkin) - incredibly cheap and good fun. Lake Bolsena is a short drive away, you can park right by the water's edge - pick your place - and walk straight in for a wild swim. There is also boat hire, pedallos and eateries further around the shore. Spectacular sights we also visited were Bagnoreggio - fairytale hiiltop town - Viterbo, and the "Park of Monsters", full of fabulous, giant statues of mythical creatures. You could have any type of holiday here; there is plenty of traditional sightseeing, but also deserted places where you can be quiet and tranquil.
The owners, Paula and Una, can provide you with an itinerary to suit you as they have known the area for over 20 years. Lovely, warm people who want you to enjoy the area as much as they do.
We loved it so much that we are going back again this year with a larger family group - so that's a real endorsement!
While near Rome
I had a wonderful holiday at Casafiori. Its a lovely spacious and traditional house, spotlessly clean, with everything you need and a terrace and gartden to enjoy the sun and scenery. And its wonderfully placed in the middle of a beautiful and fascinating part of Italy, just an hour from Rome. This was an ideal holiday for me because I like to see the real country beyond the holiday resorts. Lots of amazing history, architecture, gardens, towns, walks, and lakes and the coast for a lazy day. And luscious food and wine. I particularly enjoyed the Etruscan tombs and swimming in Lake Bolsena. Lots to see and do in the area and in Rome itself, and a great base at Casafiori. I'll defintely be back myself and have recommended it to my friends and family. You will need your own car to get around easily and some basic italian, or a phrasebook to refer to.
very relaxing"
great family holiday, kids loved the garden and the freedom.
great accomodation and Paula and her mum couldnt have been more helpful, my father in law is Italian and comes from the area so it was a great base for us all, we cooked in the stone built oven in the garden which was great fun, very rustic.
plenty vino and lemoncello consumed, thanks again ladies x
Liked best: The peace and quiet
Liked least: wee bit futher away from montefiascone than we thought
