Taste-Off: The best green juices -- and the one that tastes like feet
Orange juice may rule at the breakfast table, but many people are trading in their OJ for grassy green juices pressed from nutrient-rich veggies.
Thanks to the raw food and juice-cleanse trends, these green drinks, packed with antioxidants, phytochemicals, minerals and vitamins, have become one of the hottest new libations.
They typically include several servings of fresh green vegetables and fruit in a single 8 ounce serving, so it's not surprising that these fresh-pressed produce concoctions are expensive, with prices ranging from $3 to $11 per bottle. But taste a dozen side-by-side, and it's easy to understand why they've caught on -- and why some have developed an almost cult-like following.
Most supermarket brands tend to be sweet, with more fruit than vegetables, and added ingredients to make them shelf-stable. Their color stems from vegetables or veggie powder.
Far more interesting are the small batch, cold-pressed fresh juices made in a range of flavors. These are highly perishable, but some are so tasty, they're almost cocktail-worthy.
This taste-off puts the focus on flavor and nutrition. The top three nutrients for each juice are listed, but antioxidants and chlorophyll, for example, cannot be quantified on a label.
BluePrint Kale University
Think of this as the best salad ever. Cucumbers, parsley, kale and apple tossed with fresh ginger and lemon make for a lively, appealing juice. It's barely sweet, with a nice gingery after-bite. An 8-ounce serving has 55 calories, 35 percent of the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin C, 20 percent vitamin A, 10 percent magnesium. A 16-ounce bottle is $9 at select Whole Foods; www.blueprintjuice.com. (4 stars)
Project: Juice EZ-Green Plus
Cucumbers, greens and green apples make this light, minimally sweet juice perfect for green newbies. It looks like a garden in a tumbler, but if you close your eyes, it could almost pass for unfiltered apple juice -- but tastier. 70 calories, 120 percent RDA vitamin A, 65 percent vitamin C and 8 percent calcium. A 16-ounce bottle is $9.25 at the San Francisco shop; $13 to $15 for East and South Bay delivery; www.projectjuice.com. (3 ½ stars)
Suja Green Supreme Apple
Sit on your freshly mown grass with an apple -- or sip a glass of this tasty, forest-green juice. Unlike the company's more savory juices, which are heavy on the celery, this is grass in a glass with a nice, sweet finish. 55 calories, 25 percent RDA vitamin C, 15 percent calcium and 10 percent vitamin A. A 16-ounce bottle is $8.99 at Whole Foods. (3 ½ stars)
Project: Juice EZ Green
If you're in the mood for a mojito, pour a glass of this super minty, lime green juice. It's slightly sweet and packed with mint and lemon flavors. If this were a pageant, this juice would win "best personality." 70 calories, 120 percent RDA vitamin A, 65 percent vitamin C and 8 percent calcium. A 16-ounce bottle is $9.25 in San Francisco, $13 to $15 delivered to the East Bay and Peninsula. (3 stars)
Suja Apple Cucumber Glow
This may be too bitter for beginners, but if you like munching super-green celery, it's great. It starts sweet and refreshing with apple and peppermint, and ends with a bright, grassy finish. (Note: If you're a celery devotee, Suja's Twelve Essentials is even more celery-forward.) 80 calories, 15 percent RDA vitamin C, 6 percent calcium and 4 percent vitamin A. A 16-ounce bottle is $8.99 at Whole Foods. (3 stars)
Dr. Green Plus
The first sip seems much too salty, but as the bounty of salad ingredients permeates your palate, it makes sense. This may be a tough sell for those who love sweet juices, but it's just right for all the tomato-juice lovers out there -- and it would make a great Bloody Mary. 45 calories, 120 percent RDA vitamin A, 70 percent vitamin C and 9 percent calcium. A 16-ounce bottle is $9.50 in San Francisco, $13 to $15 delivered. (2 ½ stars)
Trader Joe's Very Green
This tasty green concoction looks like a glass of pureed grass, but it tastes like a tropical cocktail. It includes banana, kiwi, mango and pineapple juices, plus a sprinkling of dried greens. 130 calories, 60 percent RDA vitamin A, 25 percent vitamin C and 15 percent vitamin B6. A 12-ounce bottle is $2.99. (2 ½ stars)
Odwalla Original Superfood
Lots of fruit mixed with wheat and barley grasses, spirulina and Jerusalem artichokes make this a decent pick for those who want to drink green, but can't quite stomach veggies in a glass. 127 calories, 20 percent RDA vitamin C, 16 percent vitamin A, 5 percent manganese. A 12-ounce bottle is $2.99 at Raley's. (2 stars).
Naked Green Machine
You won't find a single hint of vegetables in this thick, Army-green juice. Besides being too sweet, the veggie-juice wannabe has a slightly slimy consistency, due to banana, and a strange, tinny aftertaste. 140 calories, 50 percent vitamin A, 40 percent vitamin C and 25 percent B12. A 15.2-ounce bottle is $3.49 at Sprouts Market. (1 ½ stars)
Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness
If you're wishing for a glass of ultra-sweet, healthy-looking juice, this bogus green is a great pick. It's the color of overcooked veggies, but the top four ingredients are fruit. It tastes like a smoothie and has the grit of pear juice. 140 calories, 70 percent RDA vitamin A, 110 percent vitamin C and 25 percent vitamin B6. A 12-ounce bottle is $2.69 at Sprouts Market. (1 ½ stars)
Evolution Fresh Sweet Greens and Lemon
When I bought this juice at my local Starbucks, the cashier gave me a quizzical look and said, "Are you sure?" I didn't understand until I cracked open the bottle and took a swig. It's green, raw, cold-pressed and sweet enough, but it has the unpleasant aftertaste of dirty sprouts. 40 calories, 17 percent RDA potassium, 6 percent vitamin C and 4 percent calcium. A 15.2-ounce bottle is $5.95 at Starbucks. (½ a star)

English mathematician and scientist Alan Turing (1912–1954) is credited with many of the foundational principles of contemporary computer science. The Imitation Game presents a historically accurate graphic novel biography of Turing's life, including his groundbreaking work on the fundamentals of cryptography and artificial intelligence. His code breaking efforts led to the cracking of the German Enigma during World War II, work that saved countless lives and accelerated the Allied defeat of the Nazis. While Turing's achievements remain relevant decades after his death, the story of his life in post-war Europe continues to fascinate audiences today."
There isn't much to say on The Imitation Game other than it was really well done. It took a while for me to warm to the art style, but as the book progressed, the harsh lines and diluted colours made more sense.
The reason I requested this for review is because I've been fascinated by Turing for a few years, mainly since first seeing the film of The Imitation Game in 2014. Going into this, I believed this would almost be a graphic novel retelling of that film, but this was far more. In these pages I learnt so much about Turing's childhood, and work after Bletchley Park - things that people including myself, often forget to consider because we're so captured by his achievements in one particular field.
How this story is orchestrated, with people from Turing's life (e.g his mother, Joan Clarke, Hugh Alexander) being interviewed on his journey was an interesting twist. I don't think I'll ever quite understand what happened with this aspect over pages 63-66, but nevertheless, it was a good plot device for driving on the story. It makes you see past Engima, and look closer at a shy, highly intelligent man who admirably at a time where homosexuality was illegal, refused to deny that he was gay.
Though this was in many ways wonderful, I did have a few issues with the actual text. Maybe this is because Ottaviani is an American author, but there were several occasions where he used Americanisms or American spellings e.g. Math. We don't say Math in the UK; we use Maths or Mathematics. These are only minor things, but I strongly believe that if you are going to write in the perspective of someone who is of a different nationality to yourself, you make such that the character correctly reflects that nationality. It's a picky point, but this error pulls the reader out of the story, and shows Jim Ottaviani instead of Alan Turing.
Thank you so much to Abrams and Chronicle for sending me this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Kill la Kill
Ruthless, very ruthless. So I, an innocent and loyal viewer of anime, am not allowed to forget that Japanese minds are behind all anime? Seriously, add a tentacle rape scene to the first episode and you end up with a textbook example of Japanese entertainment.
Please, look past the slapstick-style artwork. You'll actually see a neat piece here. It may not look like much at first, but it's very easy on the eyes. I probably won't write about it, but I could definitely watch twelve episodes.
Those familiar with my reviews know that I care greatly for unique and interesting stories. Well, I'm pretty sure that this is as unique as it gets. Is it interesting, too? Yes. I don't think we'll have to worry about too much training scenes. It's all about powerful uniforms.
Do I recommend it? Sure. It's an action-filled comedy that will get you laughing sometimes. I suppose ecchi fans, based on what I've seen during the last half of the first episode, will probably like this one just as well.
Plot Summary: Ryuuko Matoi carries a large weapon shaped like half of a pair of scissors. She's looking for the woman with the other half, who killed her father. Satsuki Kiryuuin, student council president of Honnouji Academy, is said to know the woman's identity, so Ryuuko transfers there. Those who arrive at the school receive a special "reverse uniform," and Satsuki has used that power to rule the school in fear.

Two weeks after canceling a radical female sexuality seminar for
the second time, Marquette University(MU) hosted controversial
feminist Jaclyn
Friedman. Friedman's appearance was sponsored by MU student
government utilizing student activity fee money.
Friedman, who hosts a weekly podcast, "F***ing While Feminist," spoke on healthy sexuality and anti-rape
activities as part of the campus' Sexual Violence Awareness
Sexuality and feminism have caused controversy at Marquette in
recent months. In
February, conservative students, alumni, and local radio hosts
encouraged Marquette administrators to strip sponsorship a student
led sexuality seminar.
The seminar, FemSex, utilized the c**t coloring book and other
morally objectionable material and was to be held on the campus's
Gender and Sexuality Resource Center. The Jesuit Catholic
University's President Father Scott Pilarz, S.J. wrote in
an op-ed to the Marquette Tribune, "After reviewing the
specific workshop outline, I consulted with university leadership
and found aspects that fell outside our Catholic, Jesuit
The seminar came back this fall under sponsorship from the
Honors Program. Again, the sponsorship was pulled. This time
because the workshop
didn't have a faculty presence.
FemSex's continued rejection does pose a bit of a pickle for the
University. On one-hand the campus is dedicated to recognizing
academic freedom; however, as Pilarz noted last March, the Catholic identity of the school must be maintained.
So, with feminist Jaclyn Friedman's appearance, yet another
anti-Catholic voice will be heard by students seeking a Jesuit
Perhaps, someday true intellectual diversity will exist on
Marquette's campus and social violence will be presented by a
leading conservative Catholic voice.
Until then, the coexist stickers with a cross as the "t"
continue to be false liberal lip service.
Ethan Hollenberger, age 22, is a conservative activist from
Wisconsin. While at Marquette, he was a founding member of his
campus' Young Americans for Freedom chapter. He can be contacted at

Aisle 5
- Artist: The Billion
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 3/25/2003
|your cart is empty
Sometimes, particles drifting through the universe are pulled together by strange gravitational forces and, after a cosmic collision, form a larger entity. An event like this happened to form The Billion. The group, formed in 1999 in Chapel Hill, NC, is named for the famous Carl Sagan misquote 'Billions and Billions.' Comprised of Kirk Bryson, Paula Childers, and Bruce Stevens, The Billion has forged a unique and eclectic sound. Raleighmusic.com described them as a 'crisp, clean, energetic, fun and quirky three piece.' One fan dubbed their music 'rock with deviations.' These deviations include stylistic forays into funk, folk, country, rap, and polka; and pop culture references to Star Wars, American cheese, and Vikings. With their newest release, Aisle 5, The Billion have raised the musical bar even higher. They explore many far reaches of the musical universe; theremin-enriched swamp boogie ('Zombie Stomp'); Zappa-esque rock ('Dirty Little Viking'); textural guitar pop ('Carpets of Michigan'); orchestrated guitar rock ('Nothing'); and some places that exist between musical genres ('Respaminator'). The Independent Weekly said of Aisle 5 and The Billion; ' The group's penchant for otherworldly sounds, odd pop melodies and guitar lines, not to mention pop culture references and strange spoken/sung vocals, make them a band of a different color.'

From Protected content 2012: What has changed in England? Lessons from My Ancestor Peter, a Stansted Prison, and a Digger named Winstanley
By Kevin D. Annett
On December 19, Protected content , author and publicist Peter Annett was arrested on a charge of blasphemy and sedition for questioning scripture and the authority of the Church through nine editions of his news sheet The Free Enquirer (Oct. 17 – Dec. 12, Protected content . He was prosecuted in London by the Attorney General and sentenced by the Court of King's Bench to imprisonment at hard labor in Newgate prison, and ordered to stand twice in the pillory at the Royal Exchange and Charing Cross, despite his advanced age.
On May 26, Protected content , his descendent, author and publicist Kevin Annett, was arrested without charge and detained for a day in an immigration prison at Stansted airport in London. Kevin was expelled from England after being searched, photographed and fingerprinted, despite having breached no law and committed no offense except to publicly criticize the Church and Crown of England.
Kevin Annett will be returning to England this September.
The old walls that hosted his broadsheets are all gone now, as is the shit-covered pillory that held the old man in a vise for anyone to pummel with garbage. But I felt Peter's grim defiance the day I stood near to the spot at Charing Cross where the state and the church tried to break him; and I sensed, too, the fire in him that flamed his disobedience, and still reaches out to me.
Peter Annett was unlike any of the humanist philosophers of his time, for not only did he challenge fat Anglican bishops with reason and common sense, but he did so loudly and insolently, in the streets, by directly appealing to the hungry masses so feared by the British aristocracy. Peter called on the poor people of England to break their mental subservience to Crown and Pulpit, and figure everything out for themselves – a call that won him the eternal hatred of both Whitehall and Westminster.
All doctrines founded on fear and fraud shall be confounded by the authority of truth. We will bring to light the hidden works of darkness and drive falsity to the bottomless pit.
Thus did my ancestor proclaim his devotion in print, just weeks before he was thrown into Newgate prison where more than half of the inmates died in their chains.
The hidden works of darkness …
One year ago, I was scheduled to speak publicly about that same darkness not a mile from where Peter Annett lay in prison when I too was locked away by the fiction called the Crown of England and its very real police state. I thought a lot about Peter as I sat through a long night in a small immigration prison cell at Stansted airport, and the cries and wailing of the other detainees echoed all around me.
The uniformed drones of the private company that had arrested me in the name of the British Border Agency, Reliance Security, had stripped me of my belongings, so I lacked pen or paper that night; but in my mind I composed a dialogue with Peter to stave off my panic. I asked him to tell me how he had survived. And from somewhere, I heard a voice tell me,
I cannot explain how I endured, except to say that this will of mine that some call courage comes from knowing what it is, this truth that I love and these lies that I hate; and thus knowing, I am resolved that I will never silence my mind or my tongue, or allow them ever to be stilled. In the face of this government's resolve to torture and suppress us, my own unswerving determination is called greatness by some. But in the face of such monstrous tyranny, I call it simple necessity.
In Protected content , Peter Annett was denounced by the shadowy spies known as Watchmen, a private army paid by the Bishop of London: thugs and murderers who lurked in the taverns and halls where free thinkers like Peter denounced religious fraud and oppression. In Protected content , London boasts a much greater throng of Watchmen in the more than four million police television cameras that record every movement of once-free citizens who are now under permanent siege by "their" government.
Months before my own arrest at Stansted airport, I stood outside Lambeth Palace in a peaceful demonstration against the criminal called Pope Benedict, and a policeman approached me and said,
"Mr. Annett, we have seen you at these protests before and so we're presenting you with this notice. It informs you that you may be detained for Fixated Threat Assessment if you attend any future events like this one."
He meant, if you come to another protest we'll stick you in a mental hospital and charge you with a form of mental illness called "Fixation". And so, dissent has become not only an official crime but an act of insanity. That is a law now in England.
And yet in fact, this is not a new law, but a resurrection of a very old medieval edict that declared that any protest against the King or the Church was innately seditious and punishable without appeal. Those presumed guilty were whisked away to secret tribunals called Star Chamber courts, identical to the five Fixated Threat Assessment Centers in London where dissidents are imprisoned simply for dissenting.
The land of my ancestors has reverted to a place of fear and tyranny. And that is exactly why I am returning there this September, to speak freely and publicly as is my birthright, and to organize the victims of church and state terror.
I have been warned not to do so. But remember: the fear that the Crown and Church try to generate in us is but an enormous smokescreen to hide their own guilt and culpability in the longest reign of murder in human history. If we lose sight of this simple fact, we diminish our own capacity to overcome that legacy and stop the terror.
I love my English homeland: a place to where my French Huguenot ancestors fled from church terror in Protected content order to establish a liberty of conscience and faith unknowable under Catholicism. The England of common law, of revolutionary ferment down the ages, is one of the rivers in my soul that cannot be dammed or diverted by the travesty called Empire and Christendom. For those evils were the acts of greedy men bent on rape and conquest, who had to crush the English commons and its people long before they inflicted the same war of terror on the indigenous nations or Negro humanity.
It is to that other England of the Commons that I turn when I get up to speak about genocide of aboriginals, and the trafficking in children by British elites and Catholic Bishops. Like Peter Annett, I look to the sleeping mass of people for our ultimate answer to these crimes. For as another persecuted rebel, Percy Shelley, cried out after the Peterloo Massacre of working people in Manchester in1817,
Rise like lions after slumber, in unvanquishable number; Shake your chains to earth like dew, which in sleep had fallen on you: Ye are many – they are few.
Peter Annett knew all about the "99 percent" long before the modern movement by that name, for it was to them, the dormant giant called the people, to whom he appealed to his last breath. And he knew that the spark that might awaken them can only be lit by a personal example, by continual public action in the face of one's enemy, in which personal courage and integrity finds a broader stream in which to swim, and where we encounter other solitary, struggling souls.
I have learned the same hard-won lesson over the years, and if anything the recent persecution has sharpened and quickened the learning for me and growing numbers of others. So I don't fear the path ahead. Instead, as we descend ever more quickly into a new social and political ice age, what is vital is that we search again for the vision of the world as it is, under the Natural Law where all things are in common, and no-one is above another – and restore that world while we still can.
From English soil arose one soul who for me embodies this vision with the same direct courage as did my ancestor Peter: a poor man from Wigan named Gerrard Winstanley. During the English Civil War that put an end to papal and royal oppressors, Winstanley and a hundred other men and women established the Diggers movement of Protected content claimed all land as common. And just outside of London, they began to till the earth as a free and radical "community in resistance".
Like all just souls, they were crushed by the weapons and hired thugs of the wealthy. But in his appeal to other poor people, Winstanley's words are an answer to the British police state of Protected content , and the decaying social order that has spawned it:
The Creator Reason made the Earth a common treasury for all creatures, and not one word was spoken then, that one branch of mankind should rule over another. And the reason is this, that every man and woman is a perfect creature of himself, and the same spirit dwells in each one equal, making none less or greater than another …
And yet selfish imagination did set up one man to teach and rule over another, depriving him of the earth's fruits, and thereby killing the spirit by placing one into bondage, and another set on high. And thereupon the earth that is one garden is now hedged into enclosures and property, and this creation given to all as a common storehouse is bought and sold, and placed in the hands of a few, dishonoring the Creator, as if he delighted in the comforts of some and rejoicing in the misery and poverty of others …
But when once again this fallen state is abolished and all land is returned to its natural state as a common possession, and men become as they were born, free and equal, then this war of all against all will cease, and warfare and misery will end, for none will own while others languish with nothing.
Echoing Jesus himself, who saw that only when the last became first, and the first last, would justice come to mankind, Winstanley envisioned an England that must come to be if the crimes born of greed and conquest are ever to be undone – and if the police state set up to protect the wealth and power of the few is to be disestablished in favor of a Republic of Equals.
I guess that's what pillory and prison really is all about, in a place like England: a way to hold back the future. It's why we aren't allowed to freely think, or protest a child rapist in Rome, or demonstrate in public more than once without being called crazy. For one day, the illusion churned up by religion, politicians and "crowned heads" may shimmer and fade, and the land and life stolen from us by a few will be seen for what it truly is: limitless, inalienable, and undivided.
Nothing has really changed since Protected content , or Protected content , in the land called England. Freedom is still subversion, and free souls must learn to be forever bold as well as wise. But everything can and will change, in the twinkle of an eye, for that's the way revolutions manifest in history - like a stealthy mole that pokes up unexpectedly, to quote good old Karl Marx.
Just shortly before Peter Annett died alone and in poverty in Protected content , one of his neighbors wrote about him,
He emerged from prison broken in body and in health, but still sharp and alive in his spirit, his mind as lucid as ever. He seemed to me like a man fulfilled.
I understand why.
Dear fellow Diggers and Dreamers: take heart today, and know that all we need in the difficult days to come is the capacity to live as if this alone is real: that the world is a common garden undivided and owned by none, and is given to everyone with the free love of a gentle mother called Creation, who wants us all to be happy and free and unafraid – and to reclaim what is ours by birthright.
Carry it on.
"Everyone that gets an authority into his hands tyrannizes over others; as many husbands, parents, masters, magistrates, that live after the flesh do carry themselves like oppressing lords over such as are under them, not knowing that their wives, children, servants, subjects are their fellow creatures, and hath an equal privilege to share them in the blessing of liberty."
"Was the earth made to preserve a few covetous, proud men to live at ease, and for them to bag and barn up the treasures of the Earth from others, that these may beg or starve in a fruitful land; or was it made to preserve all her children?"

Joe Waller's Radical Militant Black Power UHURU Movement "All Power To the People And Death To The Pigs" St Pete Fl.
"African People's Socialist Party" Heads Up The Black Power Uhuru Movement. The Uhuru Movement is a group of radical far-left militant radical political organizations, see above, under the principle of "African internationalism," or the liberation of Africans in both the continent of Africa and in the USA. The UHURU Movement is led by Joe Waller aka Omali Yeshitela's African People's Socialist Party (APSP).
AFRICAN PEOPLE'S EDUCATION & DEFENSE FUND (APEDF) is directly linked to the communist organization, the African People's Socialist Party, of which Joe Waller aka Omali Yeshitela is the Chairman, see their website http://asiuhuru.org/ontheground/apsp-usa/congress5/index.shtml
Joe Waller's African People's Socialist Party (Communist) Speakers & Participants; Malik Zulu Shabazz Chairman, New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. Also see, New Black Panther Leader King Samir Shabazz, "You're going to have to kill some crackers. You're going to have to kill their babies." [Video & Transcript]
UHURUS Comrade Leader Joe Waller aka Omali Yeshitela's office on the second floor of the Uhuru gym at 1245 18th Ave. S in St Pete Fl is lined with books, on the right of Omali Yeshitela's desk is a small, yellow square of paper imprinted with: "F— the Pigs."
14 years after the infamous St. Petersburg riots (1996), the remnants of racial tension still linger despite Midtown's seeming revival. One explanation behind this trend sadly indicts key leaders of a certain group within St. Petersburg's black community. Uhurus - or participants in the Uhuru movement - glibly refer to the events in 1996 as an "insurrection" rather than riots, implying that the arson and looting that destroyed many black homes and businesses was, in some sense, justified.
The Uhurus demand that American blacks not be subject to the same laws as all other U.S. citizens because they are black. In other words, the Uhurus condone the separate legal treatment of races, so long as it "benefits" blacks. Article 2 of the African People's Socialist Party platform, for example, calls for the immediate exemption of all blacks from U.S. taxes.
The sixth article of the "African People's Socialist Party" calls for the immediate release of all "Africans" from U.S. prisons because, obviously, no black person in prison could possibly be there because he or she committed a crime. The African Socialist Party's ultimate aim, however, is worldwide socialist revolution and the "onward progress of communism" to liberate black people everywhere.
Article Eight of the Working Platform of the African People's Socialist Party explains this relationship the police have with the African community: "We want the immediate withdrawal of the U.S. police from our oppressed and exploited communities.
The African Peoples Socialist Party (APSP) run by Joe Waller, his photo above, is a revolutionary Black Militant organization whose supposed goal is to improve the living conditions of Black people in the United States and around the world, it runs the UHURU Movement. The Party was formed in May 1972 by the merger of three Black power organisations based in the US states of Florida and Kentucky. Joe Waller aka Omali Yeshitela, one of the original cofounders, leads the APSP as of 2010.
According to the APSP's website, asiuhuru.org, During the 1970's, the Party had made its main goals to keep the Black Power Movement alive (BLACK PANTHERS), defend the countless Africans locked up by the counterinsurgency [US law enforcement], and develop relationships with Africa and Africans worldwide. In September 1979, the Party founded the African National Prison Organization (ANPO) .
In 1981, the Party moved its national office to Oakland, California, USA, and opened the Uhuru house. The first Party Congress was held in Oakland in 1982 . At that Congress, the party passed the resolution to create the African Socialist International (ASI). The ASI seeks to be the "international party of the African working class." The ASI has activists, and has held Conferences, in various countries outside the United States. In 1992 the party's national office moved back to Saint Petersburg, Florida.
The AFRICAN PEOPLES EDUC & DEFENSE FUND INC is a Florida corporation using the 1245 18th Ave S, St Petersburg FL 33705 (UHURU HOUSE) address, the President and one of the Directors is Harriett Davis-Waller aka Ironiff Ifoma the ex-wife of Black Power leader Joe Waller, she is the Asst Principal at Lakewood High School St Pete.
TAMPA BAY NEWS St Pete Times…Harriet Davis-Waller, assistant principal, Lakewood High St Pete Fl had applied for the position of principal of Gibbs High School in St Pete Fl in 2009.
The AFRICAN PEOPLES EDUC & DEFENSE FUND INC is the owner of both the Oakland CA and St Pete UHURU Houses, it is listed as a "Church" in the Pinellas County Property appraiser's records. The Uhuru Solidarity Movement also has a location at 3733 Lancaster Avenue, Philadelphia PA. Uhuru Solidarity Movement Study: From the Black Panther Party to the Uhuru Movement.
SDS, Weather Underground and the Black Panthers mentality is alive in St Pete Florida, there is no doubt that more cops will be ambushed and murdered in St Pete Fl.
ST PETE TIMES March 1st, 2011...ST. PETERSBURG — St Pete Police Officer David Crawford's Funeral, his photo above. Once again, law enforcement officers from all over the nation gathered with city residents at dusk to pay respects to a veteran St. Petersburg police officer who was killed in the line of duty. Monday night's wake for Officer David S. Crawford (killed by black thug "Lil Nick") at First Baptist Church felt chillingly familiar. Just one month ago, thousands came to the same church for the visitation and funerals of Sgt. Thomas J. Baitinger, 48, and Officer Jeffrey A. Yaslowitz, 39, who were killed Jan. 24 (by black thug Hydra Lacy).

The first thing that popped in my mind when I created the first chart in this blog was the story "The Little Engine that Could". This was a pre-Thomas the Tank Engine story of a little locomotive that achieves a great feat while telling himself "I think I can" repeatedly. My mental analogy relates to the Russell 2000 (RUT) line below which pushed higher by over 3% last week closing the 2015 YTD gap with the Russell 1000 and also moved very close to positive territory for the year.
Despite the strong performance of small cap stocks, the risk premium difference between the Russell 2000 Volatility Index (RVX) and CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) remained at relatively high levels. Both RVX and VIX were lower on the week as equities moved higher, they just moved in line with each other.
On Friday as the Russell 2000 rose about 0.75% in response to the employment number the out of the money credit spread players came into the market. A couple of trades of note focused on the November 20th expiration series.
First, just after lunch time with RUT up slightly on the day around 1193 a trader came in and sold the RUT Nov 20th 1250 Calls for 0.75 and purchased RUT Nov 20th 1255 Calls for 0.55 and a net credit of 0.15. The dollar risk is big if RUT rallies 5.2%, but as long as RUT does not move up by more than 4.8% over the next two weeks this trade will yield a profit equal to the 0.15 credit minus commissions.
The second trade was executed with just a few minutes left in the trading day and was at the opposite end of the spectrum of strike prices. With RUT at 1199 there was a seller of the RUT Nov 20th 1095 Puts at 0.71 who then purchased RUT Nov 20th 1045 Puts for 0.31 and a 0.40 credit. An 8.7% drop over two weeks gets us to break even and a 12.8% drop would result in a loss of 49.60 per contract. I sit her struggling with words the describe how bad I'm sure the entity behind that trade would feel if the little RUT engine runs out of steam and falls backwards down the hill that sharply.

text: Jim sent in a treasure trove of art work not to long ago and each one is fantastic. My sabres are taking of the Flames tonight so I decided to post his drawing of Miikka Kiprusoff. There as been some controversy for Sabres fans recently, questioning Ryan Millers play, frankly the team as a whole has not been playing as a team, and yes Miller usually stops some of the goals that he's allowed but I have no doubt he will be able to work on his game and get back to his usual puck stopping self. If I was the coach I'd give him tonight off, play Enroth to allow Miller some more practice time and to get things right on the road where he doesn't have the pressure of the home fans. We'll see how it goes....herrreeeee's Kipper!

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - What young girl doesn't flip through magazines admiring all the celebrities and hoping to look like them.
"So I thought if I have the perfect face everything else will fall into line," says Theresa Clementi.
Her fascination with beauty started when she was around 13 years old.
"I saw the other girls at school doing it," says Clementi.
As she got older, Theresa's fascination with looks now became an obsession.
"And that's when I kind of started in my eating disorder as well."
"If girls are beginning to wear makeup younger and younger a couple of things could be going on," said Paula Edwards Gayfield with the Renfrew Center for treating eating disorders.
"We are starting our barefaced and beautiful without and within campaign."
After a year of treatment the 20 year old is ready to educate other young girls.
She joined the no makeup for a day campaign is to prove that true beauty is more than skin deep.
Hoping that when other girls look in the mirror they see what she feels.
The Barefaced & Beautiful, Without & Within campaign kicks off today during National Eating Disorders Week, and runs until March 2.
They are asking girls and women to forego wearing make-up for just one day Monday February 25th, and promote their involvement through their social media networks by tweeting a photo or changing their Facebook profile picture to one of their natural self.

Illustrating an article by Political Editor Trevor Kavanagh in Rupert Murdoch and News International's The Sun newspaper on the Leveson report into the morality of the press, cartoonist Brighty gave us this cartoon. Featuring Hugh Grant, Steve Coogan and Max Mosely in the manner of The Avengers.
Can I suggest that Brighty probably wanted to draw these guys and jumped as a word in the article title to make his dreams come true?

NASCAR's Brian Vickers, one of three Michael Waltrip Racing drivers hit with major penalties this week for attempting to help a teammate qualify for the Chase title playoff, wrote Friday that he has no regrets about what happened.
Vickers also blasted critics who viewed MWR as mere cheaters who tried to game the outcome of Saturday's race at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway to get teammate Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase.
"They are not cheaters," Vickers wrote of MWR in a column in USA Today. "You should consider this next time you decide to rant on Twitter about something without having all the facts."
NASCAR hit MWR with the penalties Monday, docking Vickers, Truex and Clint Bowyer with 50-point penalties that knocked Truex out of the Chase. Ryan Newman replaced him in the 12-driver Chase field.
In doling out the penalties, NASCAR President Mike Helton specifically pointed to a moment late in the race when MWR executive Ty Norris, who also was Vickers' spotter that night, ordered a confused Vickers to pit to help Truex's position.
NASCAR suspended Norris indefinitely and fined the team a record $300,000.
Vickers, who drives the No. 55 Toyota, reiterated MWR's stance that Norris "had a split-second decision to make that could help this team" and that "he didn't have some grand strategy to manipulate the race."
Vickers also maintained that "there is currently no rule that states you can't help a teammate or give a teammate your position if you choose."
"I didn't make that call to pit last Saturday nor did I even understand why we did it at the time," he continued. "But if my teammate(s) needed me again and it was of no consequence to me, my team or our partners, I would make the same decision time and time again."
Vickers also asserted that teammates help each other routinely on the track. "You think that if Jimmie Johnson was in front of Jeff Gordon he wouldn't give [the spot] to him? You think Mark Martin wouldn't have given a spot to Ryan Newman or Brad Keselowski to Joey Logano? They would -- and they have."
The 10-race Chase starts Sunday with the Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.

How an American Bird Became Known as a TurkeyREAD FULL ARTICLE:
by Stephen Messenger, Porto Alegre, Brazil on 11.23.10
For a species of bird found only in the forests of North America and so symbolic of a U.S. holiday, the humble turkey sure has an oddly Eurasian name -- but have you ever stopped to consider why? Well, it turns out that the origins of how this jowly bird arrived at its strikingly Turkish title reflect the history of its international popularity. The misnomer, as you well know, has yet to be corrected -- making turkeys one of the most curiously named birds on the planet.
To pin down an answer to why one of North America's most celebrated birds came to be named after a distant nation all one has to do is look at the history of global commerce.

Experience proves me, that the chance of falling in love with inside door plants is inspired mostly by these small, green creatures. It always starts with 2 little pots of succulents and 2-3 small cactuses. Especially, it is so appropriate and such a good beginning for kids, who wants to learn and practice.
But what do we know about succulents?Also, known as fat plants, because usually they have parts that are more than normally thickened and fleshy. The reason of that is the ability they have to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word "succulent" comes from the Latin word sucus, which means juice. Succulent plants store water in various structures - leaves and stems. Some definitions also include roots, so that geophytes that survive unfavorable periods by dying back to underground storage organs may be regarded as succulents. Because of their striking and unusual appearance they are often grown as ornamental flowers. They are known at least 60 different plant families that contain succulents. In some families, such as Cactaceae, Agavoideae, Aizoaceae, and Crassulaceae, most plants are succulents. The habitats of these water preserving plants are often in areas with high temperatures and low rainfall. Succulents have the ability to thrive on limited water sources, such as mist and dew, which makes them equipped to survive in an ecosystem which contains scarce water sources. Plants adapted to living in dry environments such as succulents are termed xerophytes. However, not all xerophytes are succulents, since there are other ways of adapting to a shortage of water, e.g., by developing small leaves which may roll up or having leathery rather than succulent leaves.
Those who grow succulents as a hobby use the term in a different way to botanists. The storage of water often gives succulent plants a more swollen or fleshy appearance than other plants, a characteristic known as succulence. In addition to succulence, succulent plants variously have other water-saving features. Many succulents come from dry areas such as steppes, semi-desert, and desert. High temperatures and low precipitation force plants to collect and store water to survive long dry periods. Some species of cactus can survive for months without rainfall..Succulents may occasionally occur as epiphytes - "air plants" - as they have limited or no contact with the ground, and are dependent on their ability to store water and gain nutrients by other means; this niche is seen in Tillandsia. Succulents also occur as inhabitants of sea coasts and dry lakes, which are exposed to high levels of dissolved minerals that are deadly to many other plant species. Succulents are very difficult to kill, and if properly potted require little maintenance to survive indoors. They are very adaptable houseplants and will thrive in a range of indoor conditions. Succulents can be propagated by different means. The most common one is the vegetative propagation. They include cuttings where several inches of stem with leaves are cut and after healing produce a callus. After a week or so, roots may grow. A second method is division consisting of uprooting an overgrown clump and pulling the stems and roots apart. The easiest one is allowing the formation of callus from a leaf. The vegetative propagation can be different according to the species.

I start to develop a good habit of inquiring the right question of discovering the negotiator's unsatisfied requirements. I quit assuming that he should want what I have. Rather, the much better Poker Strategy is to inquire him what he requirements and get him to be interested in asking for what he desires.
The easiest teach of thought that you will use is figuring out what you, your self actually has. This is the easiest degree by far, which is why it's the initial one! When you are just starting out you will need to be able to look at your playing cards and figure out what you already have and what your probabilities of enhancing your hand are in the blink of an eye. This will allow you to excess weight this towards the other levels.
The benefit to the initial type is that you are in control of programming the choices and thus are not still left at the mercy of some programmer who may or might not be a good Online Poker participant. The drawback of this kind is that the third party software program applications on the market (which these bots function from) merely don't have enough variables to be able to program a very great bot - for example, they do not take prior spherical betting action into consideration when making choices. Consequently, the best bots will be self-contained applications developed by great gamers.
So how do you choose the correct time and execute your squeeze perform to perfection. To start with it is best if you have created a restricted picture at the desk. 1 who only enters a hand with great hole cards.
His curiosity in poker began early on. He started with five card stud, and he the game was easy - Brunson is a born all-natural, some say. Prior to lengthy, he was touring about Texas, then eventually the neighboring states of Oklahoma and Louisiana, taking part in poker in illegal, underground games. He saved up his wins, and headed to Vegas - where he lost every thing.
Fourth: consumer critiques. Read the consumer reviews and see what other individuals believed about it. This is sometimes the best indicator for me. Because I've bought/read so numerous publications I'm looking for much more but sometimes I discover a dodgy small Texas Hold Em Poker Tips guide and the customer reviews say 'not great info','just slapped up in a short time','not a high quality guide' etc.

Eq. Guinea hero Alvarez dreams of contract
David Alvarez became a national hero in Equatorial Guinea after his goal gave the Africa Cup of Nations Cup co-hosts a shock quarter-finals berth and the player a taste of the crowds he would love to experience regularly.
The defender was the toast of the tiny nation when his 94th-minute stunner sealed a 2-1 win over Senegal last week, but the amateur can generally be seen playing in front of a few hundred fans for Spanish fourth division side Langreo.
Alvarez's father is from Equatorial Guinea and the 27-year-old, who was born and raised in Spain, believes it is still not too late for his exploits to earn a professional contract.
His side next face Ivory Coast, who like the Senegalese boast an array of players from top European clubs, in Malabo on Saturday, giving Alvarez another chance to impress any suitors willing to pay for his services.
"I don't need to earn millions and millions of euros, I would just be happy to have a professional contract and play football for a living," Alvarez, who goes under the footballing name of Kily, told Reuters.
"My dream is to play in England but I would be happy to go anywhere."
Alvarez comes from the opposite end of Spain's football spectrum to the millionaire players from clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Although he trains five times a week, his appearance fees do not provide a living salary.
"Football can be a very tough, ungratifying profession," he said. "To be successful, a lot of things have to fall into place and you need a coach who has confidence in you."
Alvarez spent two years with Atletico Madrid's B team and was on the verge of breaking into the first XI when disaster struck.
"I was picked to play for Atletico Madrid's first team but the day before the match, I suffered ruptured ankle ligaments. Somebody fell awkwardly on top of me and that was that. It took weeks for me to recover and, by then, my chance had gone."
Playing for Equatorial Guinea in front of a home crowd is a world away from his regular appearances in the Spanish lower leagues.
"It's a huge difference," he said. "Usually, I play in front of 600 or 700 people. In Bata, we were playing in front of 40,000 with the whole country behind us."
Alvarez started playing international football in 2007 after Equatorial Guinea began actively searching for foreign-raised players who had parents from the country.
"I didn't know anything about Africa before that, I had no real concept of what it was like," said Alvarez, whose international career has taken him to impoverished and war-torn countries within the region.
"You do see things which affect you deeply. In Sierra Leone and Liberia we saw amputees, people living in very tough conditions. It's a shock and very moving but it's not like that everywhere.
"But many people have the wrong idea of Africa, they think it's all natives with spears and arrows, that everyone is dying of starvation.
"Of course, there is a lot of poverty but there's much more to it than that."
He said the team would not be starstruck against t

No. 25 Illini hold off pesky Badgers
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Leading by 15 over Wisconsin after a pair of free throws by Chester Frazier, No. 25 Illinois appeared ready to wrap up another of the blowout wins they've gotten accustomed to this month.
But the Badgers have a way of melting the Illini - they've won the teams' last five meetings, including three last season over a young Illinois team that finished 16-19.
Right on cue Saturday, Wisconsin cut the lead to seven with just over five minutes left.
Turns out, this version of the Illini can handle a little heat.
Illinois held off the Badgers late, snuffing a would-be rally with eight straight points from Demetri McCamey and winning 64-57.
"They've had the best end of us the last couple of years," Illinois coach Bruce Weber said. "A couple of times we had an opportunity to knock them out but they kept coming back. We told the guys that it doesn't matter what the score is as long as we won. We found a way to win."
McCamey had 25 points to lead Illinois' scoring, going 11-of-13 from the free throw line.
But defense, as much as anything, helped the Illini improve to 17-3, 5-2 in the Big Ten.
Wisconsin (12-7, 3-4) hit just 35.6 percent of its shots from the field.
"With their bigs it's tough to get to the rim and their perimeter defenders are now much more mature," Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said. "You've got guys now that handled a tough year last year and keep believing that you're just going to get better, and they are."
Illinois entered the game with the league's toughest scoring defense, allowing 56.6 points per game. They had won three of their five January games coming into Saturday, and all by at least 14 points.
Sophomore forward Mike Davis added 10 points for the Illini, whose 13-5 run to open the second half created that 15-point lead.
The run started with a 3-pointer by McCamey and ended with four straight points from the line - two as a result of a foul by Joe Krabbenhoft and two more following a technical foul on Wisconsin coach Ryan for complaining about an official's call.
From the end of the first half, when he disputed an official's decision to wave off what would have been a buzzer-beating shot, Ryan had a running skirmish with the officials, including the technical and at least two warnings for the Badgers bench to pipe down.
Ryan was baffled by the technical.
"I was applauding Joe Krabbenhoft for taking (a) charge," he said. "Maybe someone behind me said something on the bench, but there was no explanation and we had to move on."
Krabbenhoft led Wisconsin with 16 points before fouling out in the closing seconds. Marcus Landry and Trevon Hughes added 13 points each.
Wisconsin cut the lead to seven twice late in the game and to six with 52 seconds left on a 3-pointer by Krabbenhoft. But McCamey almost single-handedly held off the Badgers with his eight late points.
As much as anything, the Illini's tenacious, team-first defense was the difference between this and the last five meetings between the teams.
Krabbenhoft has terrorized the Illini in the past, and with the game tied 11-11 early in the first half, the 6-7 senior found himself with the ball in an unenviable situation for Illinois: back to the basket, 6 feet out with 6-5 reserve guard Calvin Brock to beat.
Krabbenhoft faked to his right, then turned left, but found a face full of Brock's arms and hands and no room to shoot - a story that unfolded all game for the Badgers.
Wisconsin was just 21-of-59 from the field, and just 9-of-27 in the first half. The Badgers never led the game after the first 5 minutes.
Illinois took the lead for good with a 13-2 run during which Wisconsin was 1-of-7 from the field and turned the ball over three times.

A Phase I Open-Label Dose Escalation Study of the Focal Adhesion Kinase Inhibitor, GSK2256098, in Subjects With Solid Tumors
This study is a Phase I dose escalation study in subjects with solid tumors. Part 1 will
identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) using a dose-escalation procedure. Following
identification of the MTD, enrollment into Parts 2, 3, 4, and 5 may be concurrent. Part 2
will explore further the safety, PK, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098 in
subjects with tumors known to overexpress focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Part 3 will
characterize the range of biologically effective doses by assessing pharmacodynamic (PD)
markers in hair, skin and tumor tissue at doses that will not go lower than 80 mg or above
the MTD dose levels tested during the Phase 1 dose escalation. Part 4 will explore further
the safety, PK, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098 in subjects with relapsed
glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The primary objective of this study is to determine the
safety, tolerability, and MTD of GSK2256098. Secondary objectives are to characterize the
pharmacokinetics (PK) of GSK2256098; to identify a range of biologically active doses; to
explore the anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098, and to explore relationships between
GSK2256098 PK, PD and clinical endpoints.
Subjects with solid tumors will receive GSK2256098 orally without interruption on
consecutive days. The planned starting dose in Part 1 will be a total daily dose of 160 mg
administered as 80 mg twice daily (BID) during the repeat dose phase of the study. In the
first cohort, administration of study drug will be initiated as a single dose (80 mg) on Day
1 that will be followed by collection of PK samples. Subjects may then begin repeat dosing
(80 mg BID) on Day 2 following the collection of the 24-h PK sample. In subsequent cohorts,
administration of study drug will be given as a single dose (half the total daily dose) on
Day 1 followed by collection of PK samples. Subjects may begin repeat dosing on Day 2
following collection of the 24-h PK sample.
During dose escalation (Part 1), a modified accelerated dose titration design will be
followed by a standard 3+3 dose escalation design until the MTD is established. After the
MTD is established approximately 30 additional subjects with tumors reported to have FAK
over-expression will be enrolled to further explore the safety, tolerability and clinical
activity of GSK2256098 (Part 2). Additional cohorts below the MTD may be expanded to
further explore and characterize the range of biologically effective doses (Part 3). Part 4
will further explore the safety, PK, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098 in
subjects with relapsed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Part 5 will investigate the time
course, the extent of an apparent change in the PK of GSK2256098 following repeated dosing,
and screen for potential CYP3A induction as a possible mechanism of reduced systemic
exposure of GSK2256098 at Day 15 and later time points. The primary objective of this study
is to determine the safety, tolerability, and MTD of GSK2256098.
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
To evaluate the Maximum tolerated dose, identify the recommended Phase 2 dose(s), dose limiting toxicities, safety and tolerability of GSK2256098 given orally on consecutive days.

Castles, Duff House, Dunnottar Castle, Fyvie Castle, Historic Scotland, Huntly Castle, National Trust for Scotland, Ruins, Scotland, Scottish Castles, Slains Castle, Stately Homes, Top 15
As I have not been to all of the stately homes and castles in Scotland yet (or, at least, I can't remember some of the places that I have apparently been to – supposedly, I went to heaps as a kid!), I've decided to make a list of the castles and stately homes in Scotland that I have been to.
Here's my Top 15 favourite castles and grand homes in Scotland! (All photos are my own)
- Old Rathen Cemetery
Technically, not a castle or a grand house but I love it here, with all of its old graves and the old, ruined church. As it's a public cemetery, it's free to enter. Try and find Edvard Grieg's (yes, that Edvard Grieg) grandparents' grave.
- Deer Abbey
Now owned by Historic Scotland, Deer Abbey is free to enter and is the ruins of a monastery that was founded in the 13th century. It is an interesting place to see, and some of the intricate stonework has been found and preserved.
- Kinnaird Head Lighthouse
Again, this 'castle' is owned by Historic Scotland, although you have to pay a small fee to enter it. It used to be a castle until the 18th century, when it was converted into a lighthouse. This lighthouse is no longer in use, and the new one is built literally right next to it. The lighthouse itself is very interesting, and if you go on the tour you will be told about a couple of 'ghosts', one of which is the ghost of an old lighthouse keeper who used to live in the lighthouse; the other ghost is said to be the daughter of a member of the Fraser family who, after her suitor had been imprisoned below the winetower and drowned, threw herself onto the rocks below. There's red paint where she supposedly died. Once a year, the winetower is open to the public, which I would highly recommend seeing.
- Scone Palace
Scone Palace is not owned by either the National Trust or Historic Scotland and is a gorgeous castle to look at. It is also home to the infamous 'Stone of Scone' where multiple Kings of Scotland were crowned. The Stone of Scone was also used for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth the Second! Since the family who own the castle live there, you can only see about half a dozen of the rooms, which, having paid to visit, would be disappointing if not for the grounds. The grounds are huge and have their own cemetery and maze to get lost in.
- Edinburgh Castle
Everyone knows about Edinburgh Castle. Owned by Historic Scotland, you have to pay a small fare to enter but it's worth it. The castle is not so much a castle anymore, as a fortress and is a recognisable castle all over the world. It's more of a military museum, with only a small section relating to royalty, but it is really interesting to see the 'dungeons' and the old military prison. I happened to be visiting when the 1 o'clock cannon went off, which scared the crap out of me!
- St Giles' Cathedral
This is technically not a castle or stately home either but is so gorgeous I couldn't leave it off of my list. It's not owned by Historic Scotland or the National Trust and is completely free to enter. I love the ceiling and all the gothicy architecture – which is probably why I love most cathedrals!
- Haddo House
Haddo House was built in the 18th century and is owned by the National Trust, which means you have to pay to enter. It's a bit different from the other stately homes that I've been to, in that it's a guided tour, instead of you being able to walk about by yourself. Queen Victoria visited here and planted one of the Wellingtonia that you can see in the gardens (you can't miss it – it's huge!). If you aren't in the mood for going into the house itself, the grounds are free to wander through.
- Delgatie Castle
The castle that exists now was built in the 16th century, but there has been some form of Delgatie Castle in that spot since the early 11th century. Although it's not owned by either the National Trust or Historic Scotland, you have to pay to enter. Be prepared for stairs! This castle is in the style of a tower house, so there aren't that many rooms to a floor, but there are lots of floors to make up for it!
- Knowsie House
This isn't on any lists of places to visit in Scotland but I love visiting it (and with it being literally a five minute walk from my house, I go there often!) I don't know much about this house (if anyone does, I would really appreciate some more info 🙂 ). The only thing I really know about it is that it was occupied until at least 1932, so it hasn't been ruins for that long a length of time. I love the location in the middle of the woods as well – it feels like a fairytale!
- Fyvie Castle
Owned by the National Trust, Fyvie Castle is exactly the sort of castle that you picture when you think of Scottish Castles. Like all good Scottish Castles, Fyvie Castle has a resident ghost. Apparently, back in the early 20th century, when renovations were being carried out, a skeleton was found in a bedroom wall and buried in the local cemetery. This caused all sorts of strange phenomena to happen in the castle. The Laird of the castle then panicked and had the skeleton replaced behind the bedroom wall, which caused the phenomena to stop. I've no idea which bedroom the skeleton is behind but I made sure to have a close look when I was there! (The gardens of the castle are amazing and should also be visited – they're free!!)
- Tolquhon Castle
Pronounced 'Toh-hon', Tolquhon Castle is an excellently preserved ruined castle owned by Historic Scotland. The original part of the castle (of which one wall now remains) was built in the early 15th century, with the rest of the castle seen today built in the 16th century. The castle wasn't occupied for long, before being abandoned due to debts in the early 18th century. The castle then fell into ruins before being bought and preserved by Historic Scotland. There's original 16th century tile-work, which is incredible, and I love the bee-boles around the outside of the castle, where the owners would have kept beehives.
- Huntly Castle
Also owned by Historic Scotland (most of the castles in Scotland are!), the original Huntly Castle was built around the 12th century but there are no ruins of that, except a mound where the motte would have sat. Another castle was built in the 14th century before being burned to the ground, and the castle we see today was built at the end of the 15th century. The house was used as headquarters for the Jacobite Army in the 17th century. In the 18th century, the castle was decaying and people building their houses stole stones from the castle for their own houses. This is unlike other ruins that I've seen, as there are still inscriptions on the walls, and a couple of really fancy fireplaces are still there. I found out from the man in the shop that those fireplaces survived because the stones on those floors disappeared first, so people were unable to find a way to get to the fireplaces. Lucky for us!!
- (New) Slains Castle
Technically the second Slains Castle (the old one is a bit further up the road and all that remains is one wall). There originally used to be an entire garden and tennis court, but erosion has caused these to gradually fall into the sea. New Slains Castle (the inspiration for Dracula!!) is free to visit but, technically, you're not actually allowed into the castle. A couple of years ago, a teenager fell from the cliffs and a fence was put up to deter people from visiting. However, people still climb the fence to visit the castle. If you go, be very careful to stay away from the edge!!
- Duff House
My favourite stately home ever. This is owned by Historic Scotland and you have to pay to visit but I would heartily recommend visiting. It's a Georgian estate house and, probably, the best one in the entirety of the UK. The rooms are amazing, and the art inside is incredible. You're able to walk freely through the house and can see almost every single room. The grounds are also impressive and there are an ice house and a mausoleum in the forest. Every few years or so, the mausoleum is open to the public for a weekend. I'm never sure which year it's going to be, so I haven't actually been inside the mausoleum (yet!) but I want to!
- Dunnottar Castle
Obviously this is in first place! Dunnottar Castle is the very picture of a fairytale castle. The location is incredible, and, if you're up for climbing a couple hundred stairs, I would definitely recommend visiting. Even though it's ruins, the castle is incredibly well preserved. In the 17th century the Scottish Crown jewels were kept here (because, duh. It's surrounded by cliffs) to stop Oliver Cromwell getting to them. The castle was eventually declared forfeit to the crown in the early 18th century, before being bought and dismantled for building work by the York Buildings Company (could you imagine what it would look like if it hadn't been dismantled? Wow). In the early 20th century it was sold to Historic Scotland and us lucky people can visit and be in awe of its splendour. Seriously, it's my favourite castle ever and I don't think any will top it. Visit it if you get a chance!!
