Runs were at a premium in Tuscaloosa this weekend as the Tide hosted the 10th ranked Georgia Bulldogs in a three game set. The teams combined to score only 12 runs in the three contests. UGA won 4-2 on Friday and 3-0 on Saturday before the Tide bounced back to take game three by a score of 3-0. The Bulldogs only scored in two of their 27 innings during the series, but used a four run first in game one and a three run third in game two to take the series. Alabama is now 24-17 overall and 9-9 in the SEC while Georgia is 28-12 and 11-7 in league play. The Tide improved to 5-1 in Sunday SEC games.
Game One- Lost 4-2
Garrett McMillian continued his 1st inning struggles on Friday night. McMillian has struggled the last few games in the opening frame and this week was no different. A lead off single by Ben Anderson was followed by a pop up for out one. Connor Tate then singled, bringing Corey Collins to the plate. On a 3-2 borderline pitch that looked like strike three Collins walked to load the bases. Parks Harber then hit a fly ball to right field that would have been out three but turned into a sacrifice fly and a 1-0 lead. Cole Wagner then hit an opposite field home run just over the fence in left for the 4-0 early lead. McMillian finished the first having thrown 35 pitches and allowing four hits and one walk.
Diminutive right hander Nolan Crisp started the game for the Bulldogs and baffled the Tide hitters over his 5.2 innings pitched. Bama stranded runners on base in each of the first four innings. Meanwhile McMillian founders his groove and pitched through the 6th inning for the Tide. The big right hander finished with 107 pitches over six innings, allowing six hits, one walk, and struck out five batters. Crisp was replaced with two outs in the 6th by Jaden Woods.
Dominic Tamez touched Woods for a long solo home run to start the 7th inning to put the Tide on the board. Bryce Eblin singled and Jim Jarvis walked to give Bama two base runners with no outs. However two strikeouts sandwiched around a fly out left the runners stranded. Hunter Furtado took over in the 7th and had a perfect inning but then walked the first two batters in the 8th. Seldom used freshman Braylon Myers was called on and impressively left the runners stranded on 2nd and 3rd with two ground outs and a strikeout.
William Hamiter lead off the 8th for the Tide with a long solo blast to cut the margin to 4-2. With two outs Tamez singled and Bryce Eblin walked to put the tying runs on base for Bama. Jim Jarvis then just missed a go ahead home run as hit drive to center was hauled in by Anderson just short of the fence. Myers tossed a scoreless 9th, stranding two more Dawg hitters in scoring position. Drew Williamson lined a one out single in the bottom of the 9th but a sharply hit ball by Zane Denton was turned into a first to short double play on a nifty play by Chaney Rogers.
The Tide finished 10-37 in the game with two walks, one hit batter, nine strikeouts, and 11 big men left on base. UGA hit 7-32. drew four walks, struck out eight times. and left seven men on base. Tamez led the Tide with his 3-4 night with his third home run, a run scored, and one driven in. Williamson was 2-5 and Hamiter hit his second home run of the year.
Game Two- Lost 3-0
Unfortunately for the Tide, Georgia ace Jonathan Cannon returned to action on Saturday after missing his last few starts with a forearm issue. The Tide sent Jacob McNairy to the hill to face the future first round pick. Cannon was perfect over five innings while striking out six batters.
McNairy held the Dawgs scoreless over the first two innings before running into trouble in the third. Fernando Gonzalez led off with a double. Ben Anderson tried to sacrifice Gonzalez to third but put down such a beautiful bunt he beat it out for single. Two ground outs followed before McNairy walked Corey Collins. Parks Harber then crushed a base clearing double to right center field for a 3-0 lead. McNairy recovery to pitch scoreless innings in the 4th, 5th, and 6th to keep the Tide within striking distance, finishing allowing seven hits with one walk and five strikeouts, allowing three earned runs.
When Cannon left after five innings he was replaced by Luke Wagner. Dominic Tamez led off the bottom of the 6th with a single to become the Tide's first base runner of the game but was stranded. Drew Williamson singled for Bama to start the 7th, and advanced to second when the ball was thrown away. William Hamiter walked with one out to bring the tying run to the plate. Owen Diodati walked with two outs to load the bases for Tamez who hit a deep drive to right field that was hauled in to leave the bases loaded.
Jake Leger took over from McNairy in the 7th and was impressive allowing only a single during his outing. Luke Holman pitched a perfect 9th for the Tide, striking out two as he continues to improve week by week. Bama went down in order in the 8th and 9th and took the loss 3-0 for their 5th straight loss.
Bama hit 2-29 on the day, walked twice, struck out seven times and all four runners were stranded. UGA finished 8-35 with one walk, one hit batter, seven strikeouts, and left seven on base. McNairy fell to 4-2 with the loss while Cannon improved to 7-1.
Game Three- Won 3-0

Sophomore left hander Grayson Hitt continued to shine for the Tide in his Sunday role, pitching his best game do date in the Crimson and White. Liam Sullivan started for Georgia kept the Tide off the board for the first three innings. Hitt was perfect through 2 2⁄3 innings with five strikeouts before allowing a single to Fernando Gonzalez
Drew Williamson gave Bama their first lead of the weekend with an opposite field solo home run to start the bottom of the 4th. Ben Anderson followed with a single of his own but Gonzalez made the mistake of trying to advance to third on the ball that was fielded by right fielder Andrew Pinckney. They don't say "not on Pinck" for no reason. Pinckney unleashed a rocket to third baseman Zane Denton to easily retire Gonzalez for the third out to end the inning.
In the bottom of the fifth Pinckney showed another part of his impressive game by blasting a home run to left for his 5th home run of the season, scoring Caden Rose in front of him. Rose had reached on a one out single.
Hitt was replaced after six innings in which he allowed only three hits, walked two, hit two, and struck out seven. Brock Guffey took the 7th and was perfect before handing off to closer Dylan Ray in the 8th. Ray walked the first man he faced but a fly out and double play kept the Dawgs off the board. In the top of the 9th Ray struck out the first two batters on six pitches before walking Parks Harber on a 3-2 pitch to extend the game. Pinch hitter Garrett Blaylock drove a 2-1 pitch to deep right center field where Ray's high school teammate Rose was patrolling. Rose ran, leapt, and crashed into the wall as he hauled in the long drive to end the game with the Tide on the positive side of the 3-0 score.
Alabama hit 7-30 in the game, walked just once, had one hit batter, struck out six times, and left five runners on base. UGA hit only 3-27 with four walks, two hit batters, nine strikeouts, and six men left on base. Pinckney was the clear star of the day, along with Hitt, finishing 3-4 with one run scored, two driven in, his home run and outfield assist. Williamson's seventh home run drove in the other Tide run in the game. Hitt improved to 4-1 on the year while Ray earned his fifth save.
Over the weekend Alabama finished 19-96 for a .197 average, walked five times, had two hit batters, struck out 22 times, made one error, and left 20 men on base. Georgia was only 18-94 for a .191 average, struck out 24 times, walked nine times, had three hit batters and left 20 men on base.
*Dominic Tamez 5-9, home run, run, BB, RBI
*Andrew Pinckney 4-10, home run, two RBI, run, outfield assist
*Drew Williamson 4-13, home run, run, RBI
*Grayson Hitt W (4-1) 6 IP -3 H- 2 BB -7 K -0 Runs
*Dylan Ray S (5) 2 IP-0 H-2BB-2 K- 0 Runs
The Tide continues to show resilience, winning for the fifth time in six Sunday SEC contests and for the sixth time over a top 10 team this season. Bama pitchers held Georgia scoreless in 25 of the 27 innings played this weekend, but was only able to win one of the game. The aggregate score for the series was 7-5 in the Dawgs favor. The Tide had a sharp weekend defensively, the only error being when Jim Jarvis got tangled up with a base runner trying to advance to third base in game two. The pitching was outstanding, holding the 10th ranked team in the nation to seven runs, however the offense just couldn't get the big hit when needed to win the series. At 9-9 in league play with 12 conference games left the Tide appears to be in good shape for post season play.
The team's depth took a hit this weekend with the loss of dependable relief pitcher Hunter Hoopes to a undisclosed injury, as well as the continued absence of left hander Antoine Jean. William Hamiter banged into the wall trying to make a play in Saturday's game and missed Sunday's contest with a should injury. In other news star pitcher Connor Prielipp opted out of the rest of the year, basically ending his Alabama career with 28 innings pitched in three years. Prielipp underwent Tommy John surgery last May and has been rehabbing with the team while he waits on the Major League Draft this summer.
Next up the Tide plays at Samford on Tuesday at 6 p.m. before traveling to Columbia, SC to play the South Carolina Gamecocks in a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday series. The games will be at 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. (all Central Time). The opener and closer will be on the SEC Network while the Friday game will be available on the SEC Network Plus.

Podcast Episode 186: Highlights from a Career in Financial Planning
Today's Wisdom:
Much of the conversation we have on the podcast deals in the present but we wanted to take a look back over Joel's career and hear some of the stories he remembers most. Find out what he would consider his biggest mistake, the luckiest thing he's seen, and more.

Decades of experience working in financial planning will provide you with a countless number of stories and scenarios.
We thought we'd look back through Joel's career and ask him about some of the highlights along the way. Check out the different categories we cover on the show and make sure to listen to the full episode for all the details.
Messiest Situation
One particular story that comes to mind is a couple that came in for some help with retirement planning. A review of their portfolio showed they owned a house in Connecticut and Vermont but had just $40,000 saved. This was a situation where our team had to be straightforward with them about the need for selling one of their homes. That was the only way to generate enough income in retirement, which wasn't what they wanted to hear. But it was necessary to properly plan.
Another common messy situation is when we meet with people that have dozens of accounts and assets spread out all over the place. It can be a lot of work just tracking down all of the statements and balances and then attempting to consolidate them into a more manageable amount. Not only does this makes things difficult for planning, but it can also get even messier for their family should something happen to them.
Biggest Mistake
What was the biggest mistake Joel made early in his career and had to learn from? Well, it's a mistake that many people make: buying an expensive car. He bought a used Corvette and financed it for seven years! He'll tell you he didn't have any business buying that car and eventually got out of it after a couple of years.
Luckiest Thing You've Seen
When we think about luck, the first thing that comes to mind is seeing people that get out of the market before it crashes. Even though you might feel like the market is in a delicate position, there's no way to actually know when to pull your money out. Oftentimes, these people that have gotten lucky attribute it to knowledge instead and that can make them overlook much of the risk they'll take on in the future.
The other lucky thing we'll see is someone picking a stock that explodes. Tesla is a great example of this over the past few years. Another example that Joel shares on the show is his dad bought $10,000 of Apple stock early on and ended up selling half when it reached $20,000. That purchase is now with more than a half-million dollars.
The Maddest You've Been
The last thing we asked about is getting mad on the job. Joel will tell you that our team doesn't usually get too upset at work but the main time frustration that arises is when an investment doesn't play out as you expected. After doing all the research and checking off all the boxes, sometimes things just don't turn out like you plan. That's always why you diversify within your portfolio.
After hearing Joel's stories, it's time to move to answer your questions. First up is a truck driver who is deciding whether to stay on as an employee or move to independent contractor status. As an employee, you have certain protections under labor laws, benefits, retirement options, and other positives. On the flip side, moving to an independent contractor means you'll have to replace all of this out of your own income. You'll essentially become your own business and you have to manage expenses versus income. There's definitely a lot to consider.
The next question comes in from a couple that keeps their finances separate. Joel personally feels better when couples share their finances and communicate that information. It's very difficult to do any effective planning when you don't have both parties on the same page, but this can also hurt your spouse because they might not know about any issues or mistakes being made financially. Your decisions impact each other.
The last thing we'll cover on the show is taxes. Thinking ahead to taxes in retirement is crucial so it's great that this listener is doing just that. Most people are paying more than they have to so proper planning can correct that. But there are many different factors that will help you with what's best for tax planning and you'll want to work with a professional to make sure you're keeping as much money as possible.

"When you're investing your retirement money, you should be thinking like a pension fund. The job of a pension fund is to be able to get a reasonable rate of return to pay out monthly checks to those people receiving a pension and not take too much risk."

If you're shopping for an assisted living community for yourself or a loved one, it's easy to get sticker shock. The monthly fees are nothing to sneeze at! But when considering these prices, you also have to remember that you're not just paying for rent. These fees are also paying for many services and amenities, not the least of which is your care.
Pricing a "studio" unit, which generally includes living/sleeping space and a private bath, the communities we called charged between $2,000 and $5,250 a month, with the average being $4,018.
Communities can cost more because of newer construction, more lavish décor, location or other bells and whistles, but prices also can vary within a single facility because of size and floor plan of unit, the floor it's on and level of care. If a facility does not base their cost on level of care, you may pay a bit of a premium but you also won't incur a price increase as your health changes.
All of the communities we called include utilities, transportation, three meals, housekeeping, social activities, emergency response, and personal care (help with bathing, dressing, toileting, etc.) in their costs. What varies is whether the facilities provide laundry and cable gratis, the level of medication management included and the cost of an extra person ($1,000 to $1,500, with one facility charging $1,999 per person for a shared unit).
Before you choose a community, spend some time there—talk to the staff, meet some residents, have a meal. Finding a community where you'll feel safe, secure and comfortable is priceless.

*We are not naming the facilities with the highest and the lowest costs because of the many variables affecting those costs. Costs may vary in different parts of the country.

Rozhledna Radejčín (někdy nazývaná "rozhledna Dubice") se nachází na bezejmenné kótě 375 m n. m. v Českém středohoří, cca 600 m vzdušnou čarou severovýchodně od železniční zastávky Radejčín, jihozápadně od vsi Dubice a severozápadně od obce Prackovice nad Labem, na jejímž katastrálním území leží, a to jen několik metrů od hranice s katastrálním územím Dubice nad Labem. Rozhledna se tudíž nachází na území okresu Litoměřice.

Historie rozhledny
Rozhledna, která vznikla jako součást vysílače mobilního operátora Vodafone, byla dokončena v listopadu 2009. Vzhledem k tomu, že současně nebyla vyřešena otázka jejího zpřístupnění, rozhledna byla oficiálně otevřena pro veřejnost až v červenci roku 2010. Celková výška kovové věže je 30 metrů, vyhlídková plošina se nachází ve výšce 20 metrů a cestou k ní je nutno překonat 97 schodů po vnitřním točitém schodišti. Část rozhledny pod ochozem je zajímavě opláštěna.

Přístup
Od železniční zastávky Radejčín, kde od roku 2013, kdy během stavby dálnice D8 došlo nedaleko odtud v důsledku sesuvu půdy ke zničení většího úseku železniční tratě, končí vlaky z Teplic a dále musí cestující pokračovat autobusem, vede žlutě značená polní cesta přímo k rozhledně.

Je možné též využít MHD z Ústí nad Labem do Dubic (autobus č. 4), odtud dále po žluté turistické značce pokračovat kolem vyhlídky Jaroslava Srby a rozhledny směrem k železniční zastávce Radejčín.Od železniční zastávky je rozhledna po polní cestě vzdálena necelých 800 metrů, z Dubic pak zhruba 1,5 km.

Výhled
Z rozhledny je kruhový výhled na vrcholy Českého středohoří – Kletečnou, Vaňovský vrch, Varhošť, Deblík, Trabice, Plešivec, Strážiště, Radobýl, Sedlo, Milešovka, lze spatřit i Říp či zříceninu hradu Kamýk u Litoměřic, na severozápadě pak hřeben Krušných hor.

I wonder if the referral (fb_action_ids) value is also stored in here or where I can find it?
Thanks in advance :)

A: ID of the action is the fb_action_ids value, i.e. fb_action_ids = 10150691128476714.

I had heard some rumours about a POW cave somewhere up in the mountains, and of course it aroused my interest as soon as I heard about it.
In 1915 Turkish prisoners of war were captured in Canakkale (Gallipoli) battles by the British forces, transported to Cyprus and kept in a POW camp near Famagusta. Some of them escaped and were hidden by Turkish Cypriots in the so called POW cave.
I tried to do some research, but I could not find anything about it (as usual!).
We prefer to travel the Iskele – Ercan road instead of the motorway. Driving there is much more relaxed and there's way less traffic. One day, we saw a sign about the POW cave in Serdarli. What a surprise! We followed the road up into the mountains, the same route as to the Antifonitis Monastery Church. Up in the mountains, where the road splits up to Ergenekon/Tirmen, Esentepe and Bahceli, we found another sign showing the 4th way up the mountain, where the water reservoir is. We tried to follow the road by car, but after a few 100 meters we weren't able to go any further, because the road was too bad. We turned around and skipped our plan for the day.
Some time later, we wanted to start another attempt to find the cave. There are plenty of signs mounted to point out the cave everywhere, even next to the motorway, so the cave must be something really interesting and easy to find.
We went to the crossing up in the mountains and parked our car. At first we noticed, the sign at the crossing has been removed. Thank goodness we saw the sign the last time we had been up there and we remembered a power pole nearby. Otherwise we would have had no idea which way to go.
Following the road up into the mountain, we started very soon to enjoy the great views over the north coast towards Esentepe and Bahceli.
Fred started to ask how far it is. "According to the signs everywhere, I think it must be easy to get there and I don't think it is too far" was my clueless response. It didn't take too long and we ended up like the Smurfs. Is it much further? After about 1 kilometer we found finally a sign showing us the way along the road. Seriously, where else if not following the road?! However, no cave in sight, but at least we were still on track.
We followed the road which was winding up the mountain. After about another kilometer we found another sign, telling us to follow the road. Imagine that!
The view was stunning! We were able to see stone arches and monolithic rocks on the hillside towards Esentepe. It was all very quiet up there, the fresh air and a light wind were amazing as we continued our (never ending) journey to the cave.
Some time later, we were able to spot the Panagia Apati church, which looked somehow mysterious, standing there between the trees on the hillside in the middle of nowhere in the sunlight of a late afternoon, and, imagine that, we saw another sign telling us to follow the road. Yay!
Still following the road, we noticed we were close to the top of the mountain, so I tried to cheer up Fred by telling him that we're almost at the top, so it can't be very far from now on. Well…. My bad!
We finally arrived on top (we thought) and followed a path on the mountain ridge, which turned around a rock formation and we were able to see the other side of the mountain. We could see all the villages we had passed, and in the far distance we saw Famagusta, Nicosia and the Troodos mountains. Only thing we could not see, was that cave we were looking for. Dang!
We continued after a short break and to our disappointment we realised that we still were not at the top. The road still climbed higher and higher. The smell of the pines to the left and right of the road was in the air, while we were following the road through the forest.
Time was running by, it was getting later and later and sunset was in about 2 hours, so we split up. I was hurrying ahead while Fred was following me slowly. If I was able to find the cave within the next half an hour I would call him. Otherwise I would return so we could reach the car in daylight, because neither of us would have liked to poke around in the pitch black, while being in the middle of nowhere.
The sun went down behind the mountain, when I reached a fairytale like area. The bent trees and odd-looking rough rock formations looked like straight out of a fantasy movie. In the fading sunlight somehow eerie and beautiful at the same time. I stopped for a short break to take some photos and to immerse myself with those impressions.
However, time was running on so I had to continue. I decided to follow the road as far as I could see from this point. If then there's no cave, I will return to Fred, as I also was becoming tired. When I was about to turn around, I noticed something in the distance. It looked like another sign to me, so I decided to go until that point and look for any hints how far it could be.
As I was getting closer to it, I noticed a second sign. A big one! looking like something memorial or such. I arrived and there was really a sign with an explanation for the cave! I had made it! But my joy didn't last long, as I looked at the other sign, telling me "Cave – straight down hillside'.
A small path led down the hill and ended suddenly. The ground was plain soil and a saw myself losing my almost new camera with the brand new lens, down the hill, because had I lost my balance I would have fallen so I grabbed every root or clump of grass I could reach, while looking around for that … cave.
I was not able to find it! There were tons of signs everywhere and they really saved money for the last sign! Instead of the left side of a rock down the hill, where the cave is located, I was looking on the right, and it would have been easier to get to on that side and the area nearby.
With a slight touch of grumpiness, I climbed up to the road again, where Fred already had arrived. I told him, that I couldn't find the cave and we decided to go back to the car.
After all that, I can say I was angry that they had saved money on the last sign, at least they could have made marks with a spray can. On the other hand, we had a great day, and the stunning views we had were greater than the disappointment.
After some time I had a chat with a friend, who has been up there and visited the cave. Now I know where it is, and at least I can say I was close to it. If I ever get a small Jeep as a rental car I might go there again. If not…. well…. it's just a cave. If you have seen one, you have seen them all. So no real need for another visit and besides that it is a long way up there…. and there might be spiders in the end! Yuk!
If anyone has a photo of the actual cave perhaps they would like to share it with us.
Chris and Fred, you should have started earlier in the day may be! Never the less an interesting story, thank you. Prof Ulvi Keser from Kyrenia American Universıty discovered and I believe got the cave sign posted voluntarily, as you have discovered yourselves. I believe he does organize tours to the cave once a year to commemorate and remember the Çanakale POW s and martyrs of 1915. Maybe you can contact and go up with him and his group, he will probably pleased that you are interested in this cave.
Thank you Sermen, your comment will be sent on to Chris and Fred. Look out for more stories of their adventures in North Cyprus in their quest to find hidden history.


In a spot where many restaurants have been before, at the corner of the Publix-anchored plaza at the southeast corner of Eau Gallie Boulevard and South Patrick Drive, comes PizzaVola, which advertises itself as "the only choice," presumably in the area.
It is bright, airy and immaculate, with charming, warm décor in the dining area and a no-nonsense but friendly approach at the front, where gigantic pizzas await ordering under glass.
The menu is fairly extensive, with everything you'd expect at a traditional, neighborhood pizzeria, plus house specialties like Chicken Volarello ($16.99), in which the fowl is sautéed with sausage, garlic, olives and pepperoncini and served in marinara; and Chicken Bellamama ($16.99), in which chicken Milanese is topped with melted mozzarella and a tomato-basil wine sauce.
Yes, a variety of seafood dishes is available, including frutti di mare ($19.99) and yes, gluten-free and cauliflower-crust pizzas are on the menu.
It took a bit of time for us to be served, possibly because the server thought we were waiting for a third party to join us, but after that, bread came fast, and what bread it was: big, beautifully baked, airy, garlic and oil-brushed squares that could hold their own in any restaurant, anywhere. The bread is reason enough to go to PizzaVola.
We started with an appetizer recommended by our server: a beautiful-looking, not not-too-flat flatbread ($9.99), topped with prosciutto, piled high with mixed greens and shaved parmesan and dressed with a lemon pepper-olive oil mixture. The prosciutto was a bit thick and somewhat chewy. There was a lot of greenery atop that thick-ish flatbread, though. Think of a salad-topped pizza.
Lunch specials are many and economical, and we each went with traditional selections: penne with Bolognese ($8.99) and chicken parmigiana ($8.99), each preceded by a salad that appeared pre-prepared but was crisp, with a decent balsamic dressing.
The portions certainly were lunch-size, the penne having come in a soup-type bowl with a thick Bolognese that would have been first-class but for the texture- and flavor-disruptor that a large amount of garlic can be. Even someone who loves the stuff (raising hand) should not have been able to stack thin slices of it at the edge of the bowl.
The chicken parmigiana was an extremely thin slice of chicken with very much sauce, topped with a slice of browned mozzarella and more sauce, served alongside spaghetti. Other than being tomatoey, the sauce had very little character, and the pasta seemed to have spent more than its share of time in its water.
One can see from the online menu that PizzaVola has marvelous-looking desserts, including zeppole with Nutella dipping sauce ($5.99) as well as cannoli ($3.99) and other treats, but as we weren't offered any, we didn't order them. That's a shame, because we Jersey girls can put away some zeppole, leaving the Nutella out. Next time.
Next time for pizza too. Some pizzerias should be judged separately on the basis of their pies, calzones, stromboli, rolls, etc., we believe, and so we'll be back for some. They looked terrific and the smell of the place while they baked wasn't bad either. We'll get those pizzas from a restaurant that is fine for a fast, informal lunch in clean, relatively quiet surroundings where singers of the 1950s croon over the sound system and your wallet isn't wiped out by the result.
And then there's the bread. Go get that bread.

'The Rail Motor ' - No.93 - West Somerset Railway
No.93 Railmotor visited the West Somerset Railway for the Spring 2013 Steam Gala weekend. The first steam railmotors date back to the mid 19th century, but the idea came of age in the early years of the 20th century, when a vehicle capable of being reversed quickly, and designed for local trains making frequent stops was required.
No.93 was receated by the Great Western Society at Didcot from Autotrailer No.212 . On the 23rd March 2013 a night photographic shoot was organised by the WSRA Chairman, David Williams and was set at Crowcombe Heathfield Station. Amid freezing conditions 20 photographers enjoyed an evening of unique photography fueled by hot cups of tea and coffee from the volunteers in the station refreshments area. Below are a selection of images taken during the evening at Crowcombe. We would like to extend our thanks to David Williams and Jason Cross for the organisation and lighting.

Holographic Pop Star Dazzels the Stage: Hatsune Miku
By charu October 15, 2014
Many of the science fiction movies portray scenes displaying holograms. Holographic humans and output technologies are a common thing. It has been quite a fascinating concept for a long time, it takes the attribute of being present to a whole new level by projecting a three-dimensional self- portrait into the existing physical medium. Doing all the presentable activities like walking, talking, interacting etc. Holography is a technique which enables three-dimensional images (holograms) to be made. It involves the use of a laser, interference, diffraction, light intensity recording and suitable illumination of the recording. The image changes as the position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way as if the object were still present, thus making the image appear three-dimensional. To very wisely implement holography, Japan's Crypton Future Media has developed a vocaloid named Hatsune Miku.
At only 16 years old, the Japanese pop phenom has already been seen nearly 88 million times on YouTube, regularly sells out shows around the world, and has even opened for Lady Gaga. She's appeared in commercials for Toyota, Domino's pizza, andGoogle Chrome among other brands, and according to the Verge, an entire social media network has been built around her popularity. There have been a lot of iconic musical moments during David Letterman's tenure at the Ed Sullivan Theater, and now we can add another to the list that is the network television debut of Japanese virtual pop star Hatsune Miku. Hatsune is a Vocaloid that is a computer apparition that sings by processing melody and lyrics. Hatsune's voice is sampled from Japanese voice actress Saki Fujita. The samples have been processed through several software programs, including Yamaha Vocaloid 2 and Vocaloid 3. She also uses Crypton Future Media's Piapro Studio, a singing synthesizer VSTi Plugin. She was the second Vocaloid sold using the Vocaloid 2 engine, and the first Japanese Vocaloid to use the Japanese version of the Vocaloid 2 engine.
On April 30, 2010, a new add-on for Miku, called Hatsune Miku Append, was released containing a package of six different tones of Miku's voice: Soft (gentle, delicate voice), Sweet (young, chibi voice), Dark (mature, heartbroken voice), Vivid (bright, cheerful voice), Solid (loud, clear voice), and Light (innocent, heavenly voice). Miku Append was created to expand Miku's voice library, and as such requires the original program to be installed on the user's computer first. This was the first time a Vocaloid had such a release, and more Append versions were reported from Crypton Future Media at later dates. Hatsune Miku has her own manga series, Hatsune Miku: Unofficial Hatsune Mix, and has made a number of appearances in other manga, and anime. Hatsune also has a video game series published by Sega, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA. The latest in this series, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f 2nd, will be released next month in the U.S. for the PlayStation 3, and PS Vita. Hatsune Miku has traveled an interesting path from vocal synthesizer product to beloved collaboratively constructed cyber celebrity with a growing user community across the world. For somebody who doesn't exist, Miku has very tangible star power. She is the first cyber celebrity.

Buddy Holly was one of the first major stars of rock 'n' roll. Taking aspects of country and western alongside rhythm and blues he developed his own style and became one of rock 'n' rolls most influential artists.
Buddy Holly started his performing career young, whilst still in Junior High. Together with Bob Montgomery he would play country and western tunes for anyone who would listen. When rhythm and blues started to become the music of choice for teenagers, the duo began to include this new style into their act, leaving the audience happy and the duo interested in developing their music further. With the group becoming a trio with the inclusion of Larry Welborn, they started to enjoy some local success, playing live on local radio and recording some songs.
Buddy's first chance at stardom came in 1956 when he signed to Decca as a solo artist. He recorded 12 songs for Decca but none of the four singles they initially released were to become hits.
His second chance came via the record producer Norman Petty in 1957 who liked what he heard of Buddy and sent him away to get a band together and rehearse. Back in his home town of Lubbock, Buddy got a group together and they rehearsed heavily, particularly on a new song by Buddy and Jerry Allison called "That'll Be The Day". While it had to be released as a recording by "The Crickets", due to contractual issues with Decca, this was without a doubt the song that made Buddy a star; it topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. The rest of that year saw the group record a string of classics including "Peggy Sue", "Oh Boy" and "Not Fade Away" while Holly proved he wasn't just a great performer and songwriter as he used new production techniques to get the sound he wanted.
Following extensive touring Buddy and the Crickets went their separate ways in 1958 and Buddy became a solo act. This didn't stop his creativity, if anything it spurred him onto new heights, with recordings such as "True Love Ways", "Raining in my Heart" and "It Doesn't Matter Anymore".
In January 1959 Buddy assembled a group to play the US Midwest with him on the "Winter Dance Party" tour. It was on this tour, and whilst at the height of his success, that Buddy was killed in a plane crash alongside the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens.
Holly's last performance was at the Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, Iowa. Every year a tribute is held there on the anniversary of his death.
In 1962 a UK group, The Dominators of Rhythm, were joined by a guitarist from The Dolphins and renamed themselves after the memory of Buddy Holly. Their new name? The Hollies.
The hit "That'll Be The Day" was influenced by John Wayne who uses the phrase throughout the film "The Searchers".


When I think summer, beaches, margaritas and umbrellas I can't help but to think about seafood!! Whenever we vacation to a beach I find it pretty easy to make healthy choices and not blow my lifestyle because lean, healthy, delicious seafood surrounds me everywhere I look! Fish tacos for lunch?! YES, PLEASE! Grilled scallops and red snapper for dinner?! DONE! I actually find the island way of life supports my healthy habits as well as my bikini, but were we can easily get into trouble is heavy appetizers, greasy burgers and sugary drinks- ekk!! Since the other day's post was all about healthy alternatives to sugar bomb drinks I am giving you simple and amazing appetizer to go with that skinny strawberry margarita! Ceviche!!! This is one of my all time favorite appetizers full of vegetables, fruits and seafood- what's not to love?!
Remove the tails from the shrimp and slice into 2-3 sections, chop the tomato, onion, cucumber and avocado and place into a bowl. Then juice the orange and the limes and add into the bowl with the old bay seasoning. Mix all the ingredients well and top with cilantro if desired and serve!
Hello Lover!! Nothing is better than ceviche with plantains!!
I absolutely adore this recipe!! Do you love ceviche as much as I do?!

There are three people whom I admired for their repertoire, namely; late former president Siaka Stevens, late professor Cyril Foray and late former president Joseph Saidu Momoh, in that order. All three men possessed a great sense of humour.
Stevens had an edge over the other two, because very often, he would turn the table on himself and then leave his listeners breaking their sides with laughter, while he would maintain an innocent straight face.
He was also endowed with a lot of common sense. And for a man who only entered oxford to pursue a course in trade unionism, his intelligence was often remarkable.
Former Liberian president Samuel Doe, who came to power by the sword, had unilaterally closed the Liberian / Sierra Leone border, because he said a local Freetown newspaper had insulted his wife.
In those days, our brothers and sisters of the sister republic depended more on us for many amenities than the other way round.
No one in this country appeared to have taken the slightest notice, except perhaps the monkey population. There was quite a lull in the monkey export to Liberia.
After several months, Samuel Doe had it announced over the BBC that Liberia had reopened the border.
Sierra Leone's National Electoral Commission (NEC) had recently unilaterally hiked nomination fees by as much as one thousand percent. Actually, it must have done this on the instigation of the ruling All Peoples Congress (APC) leadership.
This has raised an almost universal hue and cry from every facet of society, with the exception of the ruling party and its satellite opposition UDM party.
There are now unconfirmed reports that the NEC is having second thoughts on its controversial decision and has come up with lower figures.
The commission and its boss must be left to themselves to sort out the mess.
Other political parties and various civil society movements must have nothing to do with them, except to turn down any proposals that would make a mockery of the democratic process by introducing barriers to popular participation.
The NEC chairman and her bosses had put the cart before the horse, by going straight ahead to announce unreasonable and ridiculously high nomination fees for the November's elections, without consultations.
When the new proposals are 'laid on the table', parliamentarians of all opinions should and must turn them down.
What has NEC done with the more than 70 billion Leones that the finance minister had allocated for the election exercise?
What has happened to all the donor funds that have been provided so far?
And if there is an anticipated shortfall does the NEC chairman not know what to do?
Must she not again go down on her knees before the finance minister, as well as go cap-in-hand to our donor friends, who if they perceive that what she has done so far is not only straightforward and transparent, but should enhance the democratic process, would no doubt be forthcoming.
And here, let me caution honourable members of the ruling party that this is not a matter of towing a party line.
This is an issue that demands their patriotic spirit, to put the interest of the ordinary people of Sierra Leone before that of party affiliation.
Their refusal to support the outrageously scandalous nomination fees will not bring down the government of president Ernest Bai Koroma and the APC.
Here again, I must quote Shaki when he says; "where you are today there we were yesterday; and where we are today is where you will be tomorrow," especially after November 17.
The APC government's nemesis is hunting them in diverse ways, and all because a lot of their decisions are not based on efforts at national cohesion.
Sometime in the recent past, they diagnosed a number of serving soldiers of our army as being mentally ill and forcefully discharged them from the army.
But they refused to give the men their terminal benefits and had gone on making one excuse after the other, until the so-called men had had enough.
Just last week, there was our flamboyant young minister of defence holding heart to heart discussions with the mad men.
The men did not disappoint him, as they taught him the lesson of his life, which is, that you don't fool around with peoples' welfare and then begin to play the Good Samaritan.
And as expected, our 'police force-for-good' stepped in, arrested the mad men and charged them to court.
I wonder whether the chief inspector of police – Munu and his men expected those mad men to put in a plea of guilty or not guilty.
As if there wasn't enough on their plate, the police have taken on the protesting students with brute and savage force, detained them until State House had to intervene.
The question once again is; does this government deserve a second term? The answer is an unequivocal no.
Can the people of Sierra Leone trust this APC government any longer?


Hello SCT fans, Meghann Andrew here! I'm so excited to be here with you for my first blog post as an SCT team member! Since this is my first post, I want to talk to you about a papercrafting technique I truly love: stamping!
I began my love for all things paper when I was seventeen, by attending Stampin' Up! workshops. It was then that my love for stamping began to take form, and I saw just how versatile and useful stamps can be! It wasn't until years later that I began scrapbooking, and I then merged the two together to create my style. It's very likely that if I create a layout, mini album or a pocket page, I'm going to stamp on it. I love that you can use different colors and techniques with the same stamp to get a different image every time.
Over the years, I've learned a few tricks to help me put my stamps to use on my projects, and today I'd love to share them with you in the first video for a new series I'm creating for the SCT blog called, "5 Minutes with Meghann: Papercrafting Tips and Tricks." This video is all about stamping, and you will learn how I get clear images from new stamps, combine different colors for my projects, how I use two different colors on the same stamp, fading my stamped images, and how I create a patterned background. It's only five minutes, so grab a cup of coffee and join me as I give you some new ideas on how to put your stamps to good use.
At the end of my video, I create patterned paper using stamps! It's the best way to have a truly unique look to your project. The process may be a bit intimidating, but by following the simple tips that I outline in my video, you can easily create a professional patterned paper, personalized for any project you want to create. With the paper that I began in my video, I created this fun layout about my daughter's favorite sweet treat, inspired by the candy-covered chocolates to use circles on my background.
Supplies | Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee, Crate Paper; Journaling tags, die-cut, acrylic, "current events" and Title Builder stamps: Elle's Studio; Enamel dots: Pinkfresh Studio; Circle stamp: Studio Calico; Font: Rough Typewriter; Ink: Stampin' Up!
Thanks so much for stopping by the SCT blog today! I hope that you've been inspired to stamp on your next papercrafting project and that you'll join me for my next "5 Minutes with Meghann" video! I'd love to hear in the comments what papercrafting techniques you'd like to see in the series!
May greetings! it's Virginia here and many of you know how much I love using punches! Creative Memories has an awesome button trio punch, it punches and embosses at the some time, can I get a woot! woot!
Who can resist these cute buttons? I clustered them all on one side of the card (instead of a random sprinkling pattern) for a greater impact of texture.
It's best to glue down the buttons to the card first and then hand stitch through the button centres for an extra hand-made detail.
Instead of using ordinary sewing thread, I used embroidery thread because it's heavier in weight with a satin finish.
Hope you have a wonderful crafty day!
Easter + doilies + Virginia = CUTE!
Hello! It's Virginia here to share with you a great way to use up those beautiful doilies in your stash. I love these mini doilies from Doodlebug, you get so many doilies in one package and I love the rainbow of colours they come in!
As you can see above I created a doily background for my card. A tip if you find the doilies tear as you apply them to card stock, try using spray adhesive (in a well ventilated area). After the card stock piece is all covered, just fold the excess doilies over the edge for a nice finished look. Voila! you have instant background colour, some texture and a little touch of vintage!
No patterned paper? Creative Team member Jen Chapin shows you how!
Hi everyone! Jen Chapin here, and I am really excited to be here today sharing a project with you on the blog. I was inspired to create a layout using washi tape as a mat for my photo and title.
Tip: This is a great way to create a page without using any patterned paper!
I started by gathering quite a few different rolls of washi tape. I collected different patterns, making sure to keep them all cohesive.
I chose to use a piece of gray cardstock for my background since I knew that the colored washi tape would stand out well against it. Using a ruler, I lined up the first piece of red tape then used that as a guide to ensure all the others were straight.
After the washi was adhered to my background, I placed my photo and title. I decided to go with a black and white photo so as not to compete with the colorful washi tape. I also chose a white title to stand out against the colors.
After committing to my photo and title, I used embellishments to complete the rainbow theme. As you can see, I used yellow embellishments over the yellow tape, blue embellishments over the blue tape, and so on. This is a great way to coordinate embellishments with the colors in your layout.
Thank you so much for coming by the blog today! I hope you'll try making a layout soon using washi tape as a background. It's really fun and such a great way to use up that huge stash we all have.
Quick mini album tips from Virginia Nebel!
Hello it's Virginia here today! I love making mini-albums, in all sorts of sizes, shapes and themes. I like to embellish the front of my mini's and to keep the album cover from getting too worn I like to cover it with a clear plastic sleeve.
I make my own album covers by using a large cellophane bag available at most packaging stores or save the ones from your paper pack collections. Just cut the cello bag equal to the width of your album (the sleeve is open on both left and right sides) and wrap it around the cover. Since most cellophane bags have a self adhesive strip it makes securing the sleeve together super easy.
I also wanted to share with you a fun approach at styling your pocket pages. This pocket page was a 12 up 2x2 pocket page, I placed a larger photo and adhered it onto the outside of the pockets and used minimal embellishments on the pockets leaving them see-through so that you can reveal a fun pattern beneath it on the next page.
Thanks for dropping by the blog today, have a crafty day!


I am trying Password Flow...I'm adapting the code to Coldfusion but I am getting the Invalid Cilent error.
1) My app is setup for Password Flow.
3) Password was reset and changed successfully to confirm that's correct.
4) Client Id is copied right out of the Credentials in my Developer Account and encoded in Base64.
5) Secret key is copied right out of Credentials in my Developer Account.
Authorization header should be like BASE64(client_id ":" client_secret). It doesn't seem from your code that you are building it properly (if I am not mistaken you encode only client_id with Base64 and then append secret to it as is.
So you are saying that the bas64 needs to be applied to both together...another rep for Ringcentral said that you base64 the client_id and then put a colon and then leave the client secret the same which didn't make sense to me frankly.
Also, another rep said a conflicting thing that you don't need to base64 on Password Flow....so there is a lot of confusion between support on how this API is constructed.
Jason, I don't know who told you that and apologize for misunderstanding. But actually this part is explained in multiple places in our documentation (for example here: http://ringcentral-api-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth/#client-authentication) as well as in other sources explaining OAuth 2.0 protocol. It is just a standard authorization header format for HTTP Basic authentication.
"errorCode" : "OAU-140", "message" : "Invalid resource owner credentials"
This implies invalid username or password. My username is the Development phone number in my console and my password (which I believe I'm right) but I cannot verify it since it's not readable.
Jason, Authorization header is correct now. I assume that since you are connecting to Sandbox environment you will need your sandbox username (phone number) and password. You can reset password if you want in application dashboard on developer portal.
Username is in this format: +15556661212 (the real number was obtained from my Sandbox credentials section in my developer section.
Password: I reset the password to another password and updated my code to make sure.
FYI...also I double checked what my keys are after Base64 by manually checking it on websites suggested on this forum and it matched what Coldfusion is doing, so I know my header is right.
Can you provide the value of RCRequestId header which was returned in your error response? I will check backend logs.
I need HTTP response header. This part is HTTP body.
Nevermind I found your request. OAuth 2.0 protocol requires that oauth/token request parameters are passed via HTTP body not query string. In your case you are doing POST with query string parameters.
I figured it out...tried to post the Coldfusion code for Password Flow, but it wouldn't post.
Jason - please share what you figured out. I have the same code and same error and am going crazy here.
You are using Coldfusion, correct?
Hmm.... all I see is "This is mine" -- no code. ?
Ok, maybe this will end up being the biggest facepalm, but after resetting the PW on Credentials : User Account, it worked! Oddly that password is different than the login password. Wow.... well, thanks, Jason - appreciate the help.


Just give your genuine opinion about Krispy Kreme products and service and win the instant reward and also share this post with your mate who also visited or used Krispy Kreme service. There are lots of people giving feedback at Krispy Kreme survey and they win giftcard and many more rewards. Hope you also get benefit from this post given very latest and helpful information about Krispy Kreme survey feedback.


I've wanted to share my make up collection with you all for a while now but it's such a hard post to structure. I mean, if I did it all at once it would be the World's Longest Post and no one wants to read that, right? I also considered filming it but, let's be honest, I much prefer to blog. After much deliberation I finally decided to create a series here on Born to Buy, sharing a little more of my collection each post. This series is not about reviewing products because, once again, that would take forever but I'll be sure to link reviews if they've been written.
For my first post I thought it would make sense to share my face primers and foundations with you all, purely because that's what I use first.
The above foundations are the ones I reach for on a daily basis. They are best suited to my skintone and, in my opinion, work best for my skin type.
**If you know how to tell what shade your Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet foundation is in, please tell me. I can not tell!
I don't use these foundations are much for a number of reasons, mainly because they are not a colour match for me or they're not suited to my skin type. I keep them, however, because they work for me in different seasons, because I'm yet to review them or I use them when doing other people's make up.
I know I haven't reviewed all of the products featured above but, as I said, I've added links to those I have. If you would like to see a review of a product that hasn't been linked, please comment below. I'd be happy to add it to my list of products to review!
Have you tried any of these products? What did you think of them? Not that I need to buy any more primers or foundations, but do you use any you'd recommend?
I want to try the Porefessional. How is it? I highly recommend the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra. I love it!
So many foundations! I thought I had a lot :P What's the Make Up For Ever HD foundation like?
Hey, Jen! I know. I have far too many. At least I know I have a lot I can potentially use up for Project Pan!
I'm glad I'm not the only one with a gazillion foundations!
I find out my shade through reading reviews on makeupalley, but you need to know your shade in MAC first.
Ahaha, Abigail! I have so many. It's crazy, isn't it?
I know what shade I am in the Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet foundation, I just can't find the colour on the bottle so I can't tell anyone!
What a collection! We wear similar shades in different brands. I would love to find a good primer, might look into the ones you mentioned.
I would love to hear how you find the Innoxa BB Cream!

New school in liver development: Lessons from zebrafish
Jaime Chu, Kirsten C. Sadler
There is significant overlap in the genes and pathways that control liver development and those that regulate liver regeneration, hepatic progenitor cell expansion, response to injury, and cancer. Additionally, defects in liver development may underlie some congenital and perinatal liver diseases. Thus, studying hepatogenesis is important for understanding not only how the liver forms, but also how it functions. Elegant work in mice has uncovered a host of transcription factors and signaling molecules that govern the early steps of hepatic specification; however, the inherent difficulty of studying embryogenesis in utero has driven developmental biologists to seek new systems. The rapidly developing vertebrate zebrafish is a favorite model for embryology. The power of forward genetic screens combined with live real-time imaging of development in transparent zebrafish embryos has highlighted conserved processes essential for hepatogenesis and has uncovered some exciting new players. This review presents the advantages of zebrafish for studying liver development, underscoring how studies in zebrafish and mice complement each other. In addition to their value for studying development, zebrafish models of hepatic and biliary diseases are expanding, and using these small, inexpensive embryos for drug screening has become de rigueur. Zebrafish provide a shared platform for developmental biology and translational research, offering innovative methods for studying liver development and disease. The story of hepatogenesis has something for everyone. It involves transcriptional regulation, cell-cell interaction, signaling pathways, control of cell proliferation and apoptosis, plus morphogenic processes that sculpt vasculature, parenchymal cells, and mesenchyme to form the multifaceted liver. Decades of research on liver development in mice and other vertebrates offer valuable lessons inhowthe multipotent endoderm isprogrammedto form a functional liver. Of equal importance are insights that have illuminated the mechanisms by which hepatic progenitors are activated in a damaged liver, how the adult liver regenerates, and, possibly, the basis for engineering liver cells in vitro for cell transplantation to sustain patients with liver failure. Moreover, processes that are key to liver development are often co-opted during pathogenesis. Therefore, reviewing hepatogenesis is informative for both basic and translational researchers. In this review, we bring to light the many advantages offered by the tropical freshwater vertebrate zebrafish (Danio rerio) in studying hepatogenesis. By comparing zebrafish and mice, we highligh thow workin each system complements the other and emphasize novel paradigms that have been uncovered using zebrafish. Finally, we highlight exciting efforts using zebrafish to model hepatobiliary diseases.

When you think of Sri Lanka, you may picture a tropical island dotted with sandy beaches, wildlife reserves filled with elephants, coconut groves, spice and tea plantations. Surely, the small island located just south of India merits all these, but there's also three thousand year old temples, palaces and caves to explore.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla, dates back to 1st century BC. Burial sites in the area indicate that prehistoric Sri Lankans lived in these cave complexes 2700 years ago.
You must ascend over 100 stone steps to see the complex of 5 caves carved into a 160 meter rocky hill. Inside you can see 153 Buddha statues, three statues of Sri Lankan kings and four statues of gods and goddesses, along with various cave inscriptions. Every inch of the roofs of the caves are covered with colorful murals (many still intact) covering an area of 23,000 sq. ft. You will feel insignificant in the presence of one of the largest statue of Buddha spanning 15 meters located inside the first cave.
Hotel Tip: Stay at Habarana Village by Cinnamon in Habarana for luxurious village style retreat near the spiritual sites. The hotel organizes village tours including bullock cart rides and traditional meals by the river.
Also know as Lion Rock, this ancient rock fortress is the iconic image of Sri Lanka in posters and tourist brochures. According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle the Culavamsa, this site was selected by King Kasyapa (477 – 495 CE) for his new capital. You can see this example of urban planning by climbing up the massive column of rock nearly 200 meters (660 ft) high. On the way, see a gateway in the form of an enormous lion, the palace ruins, painted frescos, and a swimming pool. On top, enjoy spectacular views of the canopy and gardens surrounding the complex, with giant white Buddha status propping in the green.
Hiking Tip: The best time to climb Sigiriya is early morning when it's not too hot or late afternoon so you can see the sunset. The best photos of the rock are aerial shots, but you must obtain permission to fly a drone prior to your visit.
Also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Anuradhapura was the first capital of Sri Lanka from the 5th century BC to 9th century AD. The ancient city, has 16 square miles filled with monasteries.
Pay respect to the oldest historically documented tree on earth (over 2,200 years old). The Bodhi tree is considered to be the island's oldest Buddhist shrine, as Buddha got enlightened under it (the sapling comes from the original tree in India). A large white stupa as well as small alters surround the complex. Look for impressive white 'dagabas' (relic chambers), stone carvings, rock sculptures and more.
Temple Visit Tip: It is necessary to cover arms and legs; remove shoes, hats and sunglasses when visiting holy sites in Sri Lanka. You will find the locals typically dressed in white, a symbol of purity. While it's ok to take photos inside the temples, it's illegal to take a picture with your back towards Buddha.
This is where Buddhism was first introduced to Sri Lanka and is therefore regarded as the cradle of Buddhism. On this rock are many shrines and dwellings, originally used by monks. A grand stairway of 1,840 steps made of granite slabs 15 feet wide, leads to the summit from where one could get a splendid view of the surrounding countryside.
There are mostly ruins of temples, palaces and stupas to be seen in this medieval city, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a brief perspective at the museum, visit the Royal Palace complex including the Kings Palace and Audience Hall, the Quadrangle with its concentration of ancient heritage and the spectacular Gal Vihare complex of four massive images of the Buddha, cut from a single slab of granite. Some of the best examples of the Hindu influence – the Temples of Shiva, intricate statues of Hindu Gods, fascinating Buddhist temples, the Lankatileka and Watadage, the Galpotha, the Lotus bath, the Kiri Vihare Dagoba and the remains of a former Temple of the Tooth are other impressive sights.
This is one of the most important shrines for Buddhists and pilgrims from all over Sri Lanka come to the hill town of Kandy through the year, offering trays of lotus flowers and sweets, as they pay respect to the tooth relic of Lord Buddha. While you can't actually see the tooth (the door encasing it is opened once a year), you can admire the beautiful carvings and splendor of the palace-turned-temple located on the lakeshore. Spend some time walking the temple ground, listen to the drummers dressed in traditional costumes and peek into the museum for some historical facts. There are two ceremonies performed each day so make sure to time your visit accordingly.
Kandy Tip: Kandy is a popular tourist town, mainly because of this temple, access to hiking areas, trendy restaurants and lots of shops selling tea, gems and souvenirs. Stay at Cinnamon Citadel by the river and reserve a special Sri Lankan curry lunch overlooking the city at Theva Residency.
The above sites can be visited in 2-3 days and give valuable insight into the belief system of the Sri Lankan people. If you are the kind of traveler interested in ancient history and culture, add Sri Lanka to your travel list.
Booking Tip: To avoid the hassle of making hotel reservations, public transport and finding guides, contact The Holiday Place for a custom made itinerary in Sri Lanka. They can arrange a private driver with knowledgeable guide, tickets to the monuments and hotel reservations.


Mass Effect 3 seems to be an all round good game (I haven't played it yet, of course) except the fact that Bioware, the developers of the game, bundled important story related content as paid downloadable content, said that it was created after the game was made, proved to be liars and have come at the receiving end of vicious criticism against the ending of the video game. From what the Great Viewing Crystal of the World (aka the Internet) tells me, the end game does not take into account any of the choices one has made through the course of the three games and is a little more than "save the game here, choose one of three dialog options and proceed to see three different endings". Sure, we have come to see that in many games (Jedi Academy and Oni come to mind) but none of them had promised us the greatness and sense of accomplishment that Bioware did via Mass Effect.
In return, Dr. Ray Muzyka, GM Bioware, had this to say in a 'sorry we did this, but deal with it' blog post said that while the team was very happy with all the great critic ratings, they were quite disappointed with the fan feedback on the end game. He also promised some "game content initiatives" to provide "more clarity" and "bring about "full closure" to the game. To my ears they sound like they are making a different ending and, seeing as how this is Bioware, they might just charge a premium for it. Might. We will get to know in April if Mass Effect 3 will have a "proper ending".
