Muckross House, Killarney, Ireland Muckross House, Killarney, Ireland
Rated by TripAdvisor as Ireland's most popular travel destination for 2015, Killarney attracts many visitors each year for its natural heritage, history, and its location on the Ring of Kerry (a 179-km-long circular tourist route in County Kerry, south-western Ireland). Dating back to early Irish history with religious settlements, Killarney's rich history lays evident in the ruins of various abbeys, monasteries, and castles. The archaeological sites are popular with tourists as well as the town's natural wonders, gift shops, pubs, and horse-drawn carriages.
As far as the natural wonders go, Killarney National Park has much to offer in that and more. It is located just beside Killarney, encompassing 25,425 acres of diverse ecology, including the Lakes of Killarney, oak and yew woodlands, and mountain peaks. It has Ireland's only native herd of red deer, as well as many other rare species, and the most extensive covering of native forest remaining in Ireland. It is also home to the ruins of Innisfallen Abbey, one of the most impressive archaeological remains dating from the early Christian period.

The Gap of Dunloe is yet another gem of natural beautya narrow mountain pass between MacGillycuddy's Reeks and Purple Mountain. Within the gap are five lakes: Coosaun Lough, Black Lake, Cushnavally Lake, Auger Lake, and Black Loughall connected by the River Loe. The narrow pass is a popular destination for tourists to see by cart and ponies, and is also known for its rock climbing.

On the other end of the spectrum, Muckross House and Gardens is a furnished 19th-century mansion set among mountains and woodland, with a shop, café, and working farms. It is located at the center of Killarney National Park, and the grounds and house are open to visitors for a fee. The mansion sits above one of the park's lakes as an example of Victorian grandeur. The house hosts regular events for all seasons.

Muckross Abbey is another historic structure located nearby. It was founded in 1448 as a Franciscan friary for the Observantine Franciscans by Donal McCarthy Mor, and still stands preserved today.
The largest industry of Killarney is, by far, tourism, and so the town caters to visitors in shops, pubs, places to stay, and attractions. With the exception of Dublin, there are more hotel beds in Killarney than in any other Irish town or city. Most tourists come from the US, Ireland, the UK, Germany and other European countries, and the summer season is the busiest. The town center is quaint and welcoming, lined with small shops, pubs, and inns. It is also common to see horse-drawn carriages, called jaunting cars, catering to tourists. Killarney is also home to Ireland's National Events Center which seats 2,500 and host events and concerts throughout the year, adding to the town's lively night life.

In addition to the sights and natural wonders mentioned above, Killarney holds a list of many more striking landscapes. The Kerry Way, for example, is a 133-mile long circular walking trail that begins and ends in Killarney. It is said to take about 9 days and brings visitors past Muckross House, along lake shores, to reach Torc Waterfall, and continue through Black Valley and Macgillycuddy's Reeks, including Carrauntoohil, Ireland's highest mountain. The trail follows past more scenic vistas and sweeping valleys, providing a whirlwind tour for the adventurer looking to experience the beautiful Irish countryside on foot. Then are plenty of other trails from beginner to expert, but if you are more of a water tourist, kayak and canoe rentals are available to use on any of Killarney's famous lakes.

Back in Killarney itself, the town has plenty of shopping for your Irish goods and souvenirs, plus some of the best nightlife around. The pubs come alive with great brews and entertainment thriving on live traditional music. You might even want to check if Ireland's National Events Centre has any upcoming concerts. Past artists have included Willie Nelson, Cliff Richard, The Script, Snow Patrol, Bob Geldof, Billy Connolly, Kenny Rogers, and José Carreras.
Food and Dining
When it comes to Irelandpubs, brews, and comfort food are specialties wherever you go. Some of the top pubs in Killarney, most featuring live Irish music, include places like Murphy's Bar, The Laurel Pub, and The Jarvey's Rest Traditional Irish Pub. There are also trendier takes on the traditional with a Celtic Deco hangout like Bricin. Situated in a tastefully restored two century old restaurant on Killarney's high street, the place embodies Irish hospitality with natural stone walls, the warmth of antique timber, and the magic of stained glass. Other top picks on TripAdvisor include Hannigan's Bar and Restaurant, Cronins Restaurant, and Quinlans Seafood Bar. Most dining options are located on around Main Street in the downtown area of Killarney. Far from the traditional fish and chips, bangers and mash, or shepherd's pie, ethnic cuisine like Indian and Thai can also be found in Killarney.
By car, Killarney is served by National Primary Route N22 (north to Tralee and Castleisland and east to Cork), the National Secondary Routes N72 (west to Killorglin), and the N71 (south to Bantry).

By train, Killarney railway station (operated by Iarnród Éireann) has direct services to Tralee, Cork and Dublin, with connections to the rest of the rail network.

Bus Eireann provides bus services to Limerick (and onwards to Dublin), Tralee, Cork, Kenmare and Skibbereen.

The nearest airport is Kerry Airport, located 17 km away in Farranfore between Tralee and Killarney. It provides an increasing number of air services with connecting trains running from Farranfore railway station to Killarney railway station.

Cork Airport (89 km away), which is easily accessible by bus or rail, also serves the Kerry region.

Whole FoodsReuters

The Federal Trade Commission has given Amazon the green light to proceed with its Whole Foods acquisition.

In a statement Wednesday, the FTC said it was no longer pursuing its investigation into whether the $13.7 billion deal would be anticompetitive.

"Of course, the FTC always has the ability to investigate anticompetitive conduct should such action be warranted," said Bruce Hoffman, the acting director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition.

Amazon announced its acquisition of the organic-foods grocer in June. Whole Foods shareholders approved the deal earlier on Wednesday.

The FTC had looked into a complaint brought by the advocacy group Consumer Watchdog, which alleged that Amazon had misled its customers about discounts.

Also, the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which represents 1.3 million retail workers, said in a letter to the FTC that Amazon's online model would create unfair competition "with every single grocery store in the nation."

  • The 1% public-sector pay cap is coming to an end.
  • That's great for them, but they already earned more than most workers.
  • Public sector workers earn an average of £506 per week.
  • Private sector workers earn only £464 per week.
  • More public sector workers are enrolled in pension plans than private sector workers.
  • Those pensions are more generous in the public sector too.

LONDON  — Police officers and prison workers got some good news today: After years in which they were restricted to a 1% cap on pay rises, the Conservative government has decided to give them more money. Prime Minister Theresa May will raise the pay cap to 1.7% for prison officers, and 2% for police officers over the next couple of years.

Other parts of the public sector — perhaps even the NHS, Britain's largest employer — will be considered next year.

Many will regard this as good news. Police and firefighters have put their lives on the line battling terrorists and the Grenfell Tower fire. Few would deny that NHS workers and teachers ought to earn more money. The prisons are horribly understaffed. And Britain has been worn down by 10 years of austerity economics.

And yet ... as Business Insider noted in July, public sector workers are already paid more, and given more retirement money, than private sector workers.

Let's look at the facts.

Inequality in Britain BI Graphics

Few will admit it, but the public/private divide is one of the main causes of inequality in Britain. The reason: public sector workers tend to have generous "defined benefit" or "final salary" pension schemes. In the private sector, those things have been phased out, following a change in the law back in 1986. Even though some public sector workers may be paid less right now, they're paid thousands more when they retire — money that private sector workers will never see. (And, to rub it in, those public pensions are generated with tax money paid by private sector workers.) Once you take into account pension wealth, public sector workers on average earn more than people in the private sector.

Public sector workers have had their pay rises limited to 1% per year since 2013, following the 2008 financial crisis. After inflation, that has cut the real value of their wages. The TUC published some data on that, noting, for instance, that some government professionals have lost £4,000 or more from the buying value of their salaries. That certainly sounds as if public sector workers have made real sacrifices.

But all workers are affected by inflation, not just public sector employees. So let's look at actual pay. According to the ONS, average weekly pay for UK workers in March 2017 breaks down like this:

  • Public sector workers: £506 per week
  • Private sector workers: £464 per week

The BBC has a nice chart showing weekly wages over time:

The BBC's page on this is worth reading if you want more context. For instance, private sector pay has been catching up to the public sector over time, and is currently growing faster.

Whether or not £506 per week counts as "overpaid" is a matter of debate. But Chancellor Philip Hammond was right when he said in July that public sector workers are paid more than everyone else, on average.

And that is before you get to the pension issue.

Here is how pensions break down, according to the Department for Work & Pensions.

  • Public: 92% enrolled in pensions (4.8 million of 5.2 million workers in total)
  • Private: 73% enrolled in pensions (11.3 million out of 15.5 million workers in total)
  • (Data current to 2016; there are currently 5.4 million public sector workers.)

The distribution of wealth going into those pensions is skewed heavily in favour of the public employees, the DWP says:

  • Increase in amount saved from 2015 to 2016:
  • Public sector: £1.8 billion (shared between 4.8 million people = £375 each)
  • Private sector: £2.0 billion (shared between 15.5 million people = £129 each)
  • Total saved, 2016: £87.1 billion

Of that £87.1 billion in pension wealth, public sector workers get more than twice as much as private sector employees (about £8,500 per employee compared to about £4,000 per employee).

pensions DWP

As Business Insider's series on Inequality in Britain has argued, the abolition of defined benefit pensions in the private sector (and the retention of them in the public sector) has stripped workers who joined the workforce after 1986 of about £2.7 trillion in wealth. Those people lose £36 billion a year in personal wealth because of this.

This isn't just a slight divergence around the mean. This is a major contributor to inequality in Britain today. Public sector workers, a minority of all British workers, are better paid on a weekly basis and twice as wealthy upon retirement than the rest of us, even after a decade of austerity. Public sector workers are only about one quarter or one fifth of all UK workers. Yet taxes in the UK benefit them much more generously than the private sector workers who pay them.

So, while it is great that public sector pay will rise, that is not a solution to a much more important issue for UK workers: The lack of retirement provision in the private sector, and the fact that poorer private sector workers are expected to pay — through their taxes — for the pensions of richer public workers.

Satya NadellaMicrosoft CEO Satya Nadella.ChinaFotoPress via Getty Images

Microsoft has signed up more than 70 smartphone manufacturers to preinstall its services onto phones, up from 20 in May last year.

In a blog post announcing the milestone, Nick Parker, the man in charge of relationships with smartphone makers, wrote that Microsoft had been "working hard to win over the hearts and minds of our partners and customers," culminating in 74 original equipment manufacturers signing up.

The partners, which include Acer, LG, Samsung, and Sony, will ship Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, OneDrive, and Skype on devices starting soon.

Essentially, Microsoft will have its most important products on millions of new phones.

This is an important move for the company because it means the failure of Windows Phone matters less, and it aligns with CEO Satya Nadella's vision for how Microsoft will function in the future.

Nadella told BuzzFeed that individual sales did not matter if other people supported Microsoft's services.

"If you think of this more like a graph," he said, "these [devices] are all nodes. Sometimes the user will use all of these devices … sometimes they'll use only one or two of our devices and some other platforms — so be it."

Windows Phones have shipped just 110 million handsets in their lifetime, while Apple's iOS and Google's Android have shipped a combined 4.5 billion units.

This is a problem for Microsoft as, by and large, it's easiest to get people to use a product if you can just bundle it on a phone. Apple Maps, which is the default app on iPhone, is beating Google Maps for precisely this reason.

Parker wrote that bundling Office on smartphones was "a cornerstone of our broad services strategy, to bring an array of Microsoft services to every person on every device."

Microsoft, according to Parker, is encouraging its partners with "opportunities to realize new revenue streams." He does not elaborate, however, on where these will come from.

For Microsoft, the incentives are most likely a small price to pay.

The company announced that about 340 million people were using Office on iOS and Android devices in the three months leading up to January, while a further 900 million were using Skype in total.

Microsoft now charges users for a subscription to Office, called Office 365, which totals about $90 (£62) a year. The company is also giving away Windows 10 free, rather than charging customers for a license per copy.

This strategy, which is set to expire in July (unless the company chooses to extend it), is a big change for Microsoft and requires a shift in strategy.

Analysts, however, are positive about the new Microsoft.

Pacific Crest released a research note after Microsoft's earnings that described the company as "a safe haven in an uncertain market," while Goldman Sachs reiterated its opinion that the company was successfully negotiating a turnaround.

Jeff Smith, CEO and chief investment officer of Starboard Value, L.P., speaks at a panel discussion at the SALT conference in Las Vegas May 14, 2014.  REUTERS/Rick Wilking Jeff Smith, CEO of Starboard Value. Thomson Reuters

Starboard Value's Jeff Smith recommended Macy's at the CNBC/Institutional Investor's Delivering Alpha Conference at the Pierre Hotel in New York City.

This is the first time the activist investor is disclosing the position.

The stock jumped more than 4.8% after Smith announced the position.

Smith thinks Macy's is undervalued. He pointed out that the retailer's stock currently trades around $66 per share. Smith thinks it's worth in excess of $125 per share.

On the surface, he explained, the stock appears to be "fairly valued." It trades in line with its peers, but it doesn't "tell the whole story."

Smith pointed out some of the retailer's valuable real-estate holdings (trophy properties such as Herald Square and high-end malls). Smith later added that his fund hired a real-estate consultancy firm to help them value the properties.

Adjusted for real-estate value, shareholders are getting the rest of Macy's for less than 3x EBITDA, he said.

He also noted that Macy's has a "highly valuable" credit-card business.

Smith is also the activist investor in Darden, the parent company of Olive Garden.

During the Q&A, Smith said that he's always ready to get involved as an activist. He noted that he thinks that Macy's is "receptive to looking into this opportunity."

Here's a chart of Macy's stock:

Whether you're a longtime mechanic, a weekend warrior or just starting to learn how to repair vehicles, Buy Auto Parts is here to help you get the parts you need and offer you opportunities to learn about vehicle repair and maintenance with our learning center. A manual steering rack is a rack and pinion mechanism, located between the front two wheels of your car. The pinion gear is attached to the steering shaft. When the steering wheel is turned, the pinion gear engages teeth on the linear rack, causing the rack to move. Thus, the rack and pinion converts the steering wheel's rotational movement into linear movement. This movement is essential to turn the wheels. The manual rack and pinion system also helps in gear reduction thereby making it easier to turn the wheels.

This type of steering system is most commonly found in older cars, small trucks and SUVs. The most common problem with manual steering racks is wear and tear of the unit due to misuse or excessive usage. You must replace the manual steering rack as soon as possible to avoid further damage. At we stock a wide variety of manual steering racks for every car make and model.

Our USA-based sales and support teams are here to answer all your questions. To find out more about our services and car parts, call our toll-free support line at 1-888-907-7225 or email us at [email protected].

Married but pregnant by rape.. please help..EDIT

Posted by Anonymous
  • 15 Replies

Please don't bash me. My intentions where good to begin with.. now i'm rethinking everything.

Here is a time line tht might help you understand more. .

  • September 2011 - My husband and I married. Two weeks after he left me for another woman. we ended up sleeping together while he was with her. we both got pregnant at the same time.
  • December 2011 - I had a miscarriage and we ended up trying to work things out.
  • April 2012 - We where still hving alot of issues with him getting her pregnant. I ended up leaving him for two nights to hang out with my guy friend. I know it sounds bad but we where strictly friends until he raped me that night. I came back to my husband and didn't tell him. I tried acting normal and ended up sleeping with him two days after i was raped. I didn't tell anybody what had happend to me.
  • May 2012 - My husband and I's first daughter turned two. That day of her party I took a pregnancy test which came up positive. I went to my midwife and she confirmed that i was indeed pregnant. I was raped on the 20th of April, had slept with my husband the 24th. My midwife said her estimate was that I conceived around the 24th give or take a couple days. I told my husband I was pregnant but didn't say anything about being raped or maybe that it was not his baby.
  • August 2012 - His daughter from another woman was born and we soon found out we where having another girl.
  • January 2013 - My due date is today. My husband still does not know about the rape and still does not know our daughter may not be his and neither does anybody else.

I chose to not tell my husband because i was afraid he would make me give the baby up. I love my baby so much nd it would kill me. Through random conversation he has told me he wouldn't leave me if I was carrying somebbody elses child. Yes i beleive him but my guilt is getting the best of me.. I so badly want to tell him but I'm so scared.. and wht if he tells somebody else it was by rape? or wht if he doesn't beleive me that it was rape because we where hving problems? I'm so scared and I don't know wht to do. Please don't bash me.. Just please give me advice..

I don't think it matters how old I am. Why i went back to him after he slept with some one else or why i still slept with him while he was with her. It happend. I can't change it now. All i wnt to know is what I can do now. Its too late to press charges as this happend in april and there would be no proof.

When I went to go hang out with this guy it was strictly as friends. We had been friends for a while so why would i think he would do that to me? If you don't beleive me then fine. I dont' expect everybody to. But it happend and all i'm asking for is help.

Do a home paternity test and go from there sweetie.

If the child isn't his tell him what happened and then tell the police and press charges. Or not.

Just do the test first. Your dh doesn't need to know unless it shows he isn't her dad.

If he loves you, it won't matter to him either way.

So wait, you both had sexual interactions with someone else willingly and unwillingly resulting in children but also have a child together.

Um I'd tell your husband. Get a home test for $80.

Legally though in most states a husband is the legal parent regardless of DNA. But do you want this guy showing up.
by Anonymous 3 on Jan. 15, 2013 at 4:49 PM
He left you, TWO WEEKS after you married??? And you STILL slept with him while he was with the other chick?? Wow. Sorry you where raped but you should of told your DH and reported it to the police. Good luck.

Im so sorry that happened to you=( try counsling with your husband. That might help. I too was raped by a friend but didnt get pregnant. (((hugs)))

Get dna done and go from there. whether by rape or not, he has no ground to kick fits, since he also has a  kid with someone else. y'all also need to decide whether or not your marriage is going to be permanent or not.

by Anonymous 6 on Jan. 15, 2013 at 4:51 PM

 You made the choice not to report or tell your husband which I disagree with. However at this point non of that matter, him knowing or not knowing really doesnt change anything. If you had cheated I would say he has the right to know but you were a victim and I am not sure after this long it would be worth the pain it would cause both of you..

 He may not believe you, what then.. If you are happy with your husband enjoy your life together! Hopefully it never comes up later or maybe you can get a kit and test if he is the father before talking to him. If he is do you want to share the rape?

You went to hang with him, and he raped you.......... you havent told your husband anything... um not buying this

How Chat Websites Engendering Human Communication

The contemporary era is often referred to as that of a digitized or virtual world and inevitably 'chatting' constitutes an integral component of this novel dimension of so conventional a  fact as that of the necessity of humans to communicate.

Throwing some light further on the modus operandi as evolving recently, it seems an imperative to discuss about 'chat websites', which is supposedly an epitome of informal virtual plane to initiate interpersonal communication mostly taking a multilateral form or shape, essentially a forum economical enough and easily accessible to the users.

The growing fragmenting social family premised bonding in the context of nuclearisation of families, further legitimizes the contribution of this space as virtually exist and influences life beyond the digital world.

A comprehensive account will definitely incorporate an appreciative note of the ease with which people can enroll themselves and enthusiastically be the part of chit chat room that can act as a relief to loneliness or extreme individualism that is so much dear to us now.

Chat Websites Engendering Human Communication

Amid optimism, it is required that we shall mention at least about the "lack of confidentiality" or "trust deficit" which plague the cyber affair's so to say and in this case what sounds interesting is to merit the trustworthiness and credibility of this site.

So far the video chat are concerned the facility also comes with this user friendly site, since this site has an inbuilt system of responding to the user's needs or comfort. The interaction ranges from being single-to-multiple topologies.

The various facilities associated with the site further account for the significance of the proliferating internet traced from the ICT's development and its role in facilitating communication, which in the recent academic forum described as leading towards network society.

Therefore chat websites enables the user's to connect with the entire world, and thereby, although informally yet holds for laying the ground to a social bonding resulting in psychological ties.

It was at the old drive-in movie between Canton and Farmington.

It was at the old drive-in movie between Canton and Farmington.

There was a double feature that night. The first was an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s “Dulwich Horror.” It was done in Technicolor and obviously had a   big budget. But the only thing I remembered was it had a bunch of modern dancers trying to be devils or evil spirits or something.

The second feature was in black and white. It looked like it had been done with a home movie camera. The soundtrack was a little distorted and the special effects were not very effective. Even though I was only in my early teens, I realized most of the acting was not very good, particularly one extra apparently improvising a line when he forgot what he was supposed to say. And when someone was “killed,” they had to pull away quickly because the “corpse’s” eye moved after it was dead.

I lived on a hill in the country just south of Lewistown at the time, and I remember staying awake most of that night watching to make sure no-one was coming up the hill to the house.

That’s the night I first became acquainted with George E. Romero.

Without him, there would probably be no “Walking Dead” (which he disliked more than I do) or “World War Z” (which I dislike as much as he did; read the book).

Romero died Sunday from lung cancer. He was 77.

Romero was the director of the original “Night of the Living Dead,” the film that freaked me out at the drive-in. Filmed on a budget of $100,000 (a shoestring amount even in 1968), the movie was the beginning of everything from franchises like “Resident Evil” to spoofs like “Shaun of the Dead.”

So how did this little indie cult film attract so much attention and influence? After all, zombie movies have been around for years, probably beginning with Bela Lugosi’s “White Zombie,” the film which inspired the name of a heavy metal band. And of course there were the walking dead monsters in Ed Wood’s classic “Plan 9 from Outer Space.” What sets this movie apart from everything else?

In the 1980s, Romero, who had at one time worked on “Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood,” got a chance to remake his film the way he wanted it to be. The acting was much better, the dialogue was not as hokey, the special effects were really professionally done, the production values were wonderful. And it was truly scary.

But it wasn’t as good.

In many ways, the original’s limitations worked to its advantage. The black and white film made it seem more claustrophobic. The slightly off-kilter soundtrack (originally from a film called “Teenagers from Outer Space,” I believe) had an eerie charm. The less polished dialogue sounded more the way people actually speak. Even the improvisational outburst, “Yeah, they’re dead, they’re all messed up,” fit.

And the big mistake, the rolling eye of the “dead” zombie had a subtle, chilling effect on the unconscious. “They were dead before. Are they really dead now?”

Often external conditions which could have been problems helped contribute to the film’s success. The hurried atmosphere of the movie, particularly the silly dialogue between the two young lovers just before they were barbecued in the truck had to be rushed along because the young man played the boyfriend had to leave for college the next morning.

(By the way, the scene in which the zombies devoured the young fricasseed couple, affectionately known as “the last supper,” had the extras eating roast port with chocolate sauce. One of the actors said the sickly look on many of the undead faces was no acting technique because of that.)

They also had to contend with the fact the house in which much of the movie was filmed was scheduled to be demolished a day after filming was to be finished.

Many see the movie as a commentary on racism, as the lead actor, the first black hero in a horror film, is accidentally shot by white vigilantes after being mistaken for a zombie. But, as Romero has said, the film was supposed to be about the paranoia Americans were feeling in the Sixties, particularly with the uncertainty about the Vietnam War. Duane Jones got the part because he was the best actor auditioning for the part.

But the last remark really encapsulates the true reason Romero’s work is still remembered while other zombie flicks remain B movies like “Rockabilly Zombie Weekend.” (Yes, that’s a real movie.)

Every one of Romero’s films in the Living Dead series had a theme beyond just scaring people. The real horror comes from showing us what our lives are like without any filters, paranoia in the case of the original, rampant consumerism in “Dawn of the Dead,” the thin veneer of civilization which can so easily tumble into authoritarianism in “Day of the Dead,” class warfare and disregard for other cultures in “Land of the Dead.” All this gives a depth to these movies lacking in other “zombie” flicks.

(By the way, the word zombie is never used in “Night of the Living Dead.” The things are called ghouls or animated corpses.)

But let’s be real. The show is scary. Really scary.

It’s not like the slasher films or the gore fests audiences today call “horror” films. The later films are not scary. They’re just gross. There are few real scares in them.

You can tell the difference when you compare any so-called modern horror film with the original “Night of the Living Dead” or the granddaddy of slasher films, “Pyscho.” There is little gore in either, little violence, few real gross out moments. And yet these two films still bring chills in the middle of the night while Jason and Freddy and Michael are forgotten almost as soon as the credits roll.

So goodbye and thank you, George, for all the scary nights and creepy thoughts. I’ll remember you when I wake up at 2 a.m. to the sound of the wind blowing branches on my roof and I wonder if one of the undead is trying to get in. At my weight, he or she would be in for a really good meal.

But is it really goodbye? What if George decides to come back? Shouldn’t we post a camera near his grave to make sure, just in case. After all, he really may be coming to get us.

Chapman’s Peak Drive = 9km of paradise

Cape Town’s most rewarding Toll Road, for a life-is-good-feeling

'You gotta do Chappies' is a common thing people will tell you when you’re here to discover the Cape. 'Chappies' is local speak for Chapman’s Peak Drive, one of Cape Town‘s most famous landmarks. Nine kilometres and 114 curves of breathtaking scenery brings you from Noordhoek to Hout Bay, or the other way around. Some say it is one of the most spectacular marine drives in the world.

Welcome to paradise. Here you‘ve got it all. The Atlantic Ocean on the one side, mountains on the other side - to be exact, it’s the southerly extension of the Constantia Berg (593m high). When you’re in paradise, you surely have to take a look around. Stop your car and get your camera ready for a sweeping 180° view. Burn this postcard picture in your mind. No matter how many times you’ve seen Chapman’s Peak Drive in movies and adverts, it’s something that you simply have to experience first hand. It’s one of those moments in life where you just feel that 'life is good'?

It’s worth setting aside at least half a day or even make a full day trip of Chapman’s Peak Drive. About 25km south of the Cape Town CBD, this scenic drive is a relaxing getaway from the Cape Town buzz. It’s 'one of the most worth it tourist attractions' and 'definitely a must-do' on any Cape Town itinerary, people say. Take a picnic basket and stop at one of the picnic spots or view points to enjoy nature at its best. During late winter and early spring, you even have the chance to spot Southern Right Whales.

South Africa’s most innovative road engineering project

The Chapman’s Peak Drive has an interesting history. It was the brainchild of Sir Frederic de Waal, the first administrator of the Cape Province (De Waal Drive in Cape Town was named after him). Work on the route began in 1915 and the formal opening took place in 1922. Unfortunately, rock falls caused the closure of this splendid national treasure in January 2000. Public pressure requested the reopening, with this came a feat of astounding engineering vision. A consortium of companies were awarded a concession to restore this mountain pass to its former glory and to put in place several safety measures that would limit further fatalities from occuring. The reopening of Chapman’s Peak Drive is the culmination of one of the most innovative road engineering projects (upgrading and reconstruction) ever to be undertaken in South Africa. Chapman’s Peak Drive was re-opened as a Toll Road in December 2003.

Today there’s still a slight confusion about who owns Chappies. While some seem to believe that it is in private hands, the provincial government is still the true owner of the road - it is part of the Table Mountain National Park. Entilini, a private company, has an agreement with the government in order to manage Chapman’s Peak Drive for operation and maintenance purposes. Entilini has a complete integrated traffic management system, including weather monitoring , CCTV cameras, variable message signs and a traffic management unit. Any adverse or high risk weather situations calls for immediate road closure. Rock fall mitigating measures involve catch fences and a canopy structure while a natural cut half tunnel keeps visitors safe from potential rock falls.

What to do? It’s all about the view...

Next to the drive and being astounded at the natural beauty and spectacular vistas, there are also a few fun things to do along the way. There are three major picnic areas and 45 picnic areas with small tables situated on the Hout Bay side. From the main and highest view point you can see Hout Bay harbour. There are also several hiking trails through the Silvermine Nature Reserve and the Cape Peninsula National park where you can discover the area by foot. This is also a cool base jumping spot (call Abseil Africa) and photography heaven, whether you’re into macro shots of the fynbos or landscape shots. Chappies was and is a popular photography and film location, with the winding roads making it an especially popular setting for top brand car commercials.

Hout Bay and Noordhoek are sweet little country villages on either side of Chappies. These make for artistically interesting meanderings where you can visit many local shops and restaurants. The Hout Bay harbour is one of South Africa’s most active fishing harbours and offers many fish n chips shops and places to have a quick beer. Or have a look at the yachts from the pier, go sailing; water sports are also offered.

Whatever you end up doing along the route, Chapman’s Peak Drive is all about the view... enjoy.

by Antonia Heil

Good to know...

Please stick to the rules, they are there for good reason: the maximum speed limit is 40km/h and don’t stop on the yellow lines as the narrow roads can be dangerous otherwise. Busses are only allowed to go through Chapman’s Peak Drive from Hout Bay to Noordhoek.

Every year, two major events take place: the Pick’n’Pay Cycle Tour in March and the Two Oceans Marathon in April.

Gov't Report: 8 States Had Significant Drop In Uninsured

(AP) - A new government report on health insurance has implications for the presidential campaign.

Out Tuesday, the National Health Interview Survey says eight states saw a significant drop last year in the number of residents without health insurance.

They are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, and New York. Politically, that's a mix of red, blue and purple states.

All but Florida had accepted a Medicaid expansion that's one of two major pathways to coverage under President Barack Obama's health care law. The other coverage route is subsidized private insurance, available in all 50 states.

GOP presidential candidates are vowing to repeal "Obamacare," with hardly any detail on how they'd replace it without millions losing coverage.

Overall, the nation's uninsured rate dropped to 9.1 percent in 2015.

PES 2011 3D confirmed as 3DS launch title

Sports News Konami 3DS

Konami has announced that PES 2011 3D will be released along the Nintendo 3DS on March 25th across Europe, supporting the handheld console on its launch day.

PES 2011 3D makes use of the 3DS’ new features, utilising the 3D effects to give the matches a sense of depth, with everything searching long ball and crisp pass felt by those playing the game. It also makes use of the wireless connectivity, with two two players able to go head-to-head. There is also a further inventive use of Street Pass system, where systems will sense when another Master League team is in the vicinity, compare the strength of each side based on their respective strategies and stats. The stronger of the two sides will then emerge victorious.

The more of these strength comparisons you win, the higher your ranking will grow until you are promoted before reaching the top-flight and the Champions League ranking.

How to Train for Archery at Home

Here is a 10 Exercises you can do at home to improve your body for the sport of archery.

#1. Pushups. Lots of them!

I do 25 push ups at a time, 4 times per day. If you can't do 25 at once, try doing 20, 15 or 10 pushups at time... but aim for a total of 100 pushups.

#2. Headstand Pushups!

I do 20 of these per day. Use a wall or door to balance your feet so you don't fall over. You should feel a muscle ripping sensation in your arms and shoulders. If you are new to this exercise, aim to do 5 at a time.

#3. Yoga!

Yoga helps build core muscles, posture and balance, both of which are important for archery and maintain a good still pose while readying a shot. You can put as much effort into yoga as you have motivation. I recommend at least 30 minutes per day.

#4. Situps!

Situps will help tighten up your stomach muscles and improve your breath control. For extra challenge try doing breathing exercises while doing your situps. Learning to control you breathing and you stomach/lung muscles is an important part of archery. Breathe into your gut, not your chest. Aim for 100 situps twice per day (morning and late afternoon).

#5. Bicep Curls!

Get some dumbbells. Preferably a weight that is a challenge for you, but not so much that you can't do more than 5 repetitions. Aim for a weight where it starts feel like a challenge after 10 reps.

#6. Tricep Curls or Triceps Kickback!

This one is more important than the biceps, because you use your triceps a lot more in archery. My favourite way of doing tricep curls is to lift the dumbbells above and behind my head, and then lift upwards above my head. You should feel it in the backs of your arms. Do 20 reps, rest, repeat 5 times.

Another option you can do is the Triceps Kickback, shown here on the right photo.

#7. Squats

Do 20 squats, 5 sets.Try and keep your back straight up and down while you are squatting. The goal here is to improve your posture and balance.

#8. Balancing Exercises

Explore a variety of balancing exercises. Invent your own! There are a variety of yoga poses you can do to improve your balance.

#9. Rowing

If you have a rowing machine at home or at the gym, use it! If you don't get a stretchy piece of fabric or a rope and do rowing exercises using it. An exercise stretch band would be ideal.

#10. Fast Shadow Boxing

The action of punching and pulling back your arm super fast uses the triceps a lot. For extra challenge use a small weight (5 lbs) while you are boxing.

The end result is to forge your body into a more efficient archery machine. After that its just a matter of honing your aim, building experience, and mind-body control.

If you want to push yourself even further I recommend exploring Zen Archery.

I'm Here for You

I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.

On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.

You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!

Wild Fact About Me
My Philosophy As You Sow, So You Reap

Whatever you sow by your actions come back to you. If you make others happy through service, charity and kind acts, you sow happiness like a seed; and it will give you the fruit of happiness. If you make others unhappy through harsh words, insult, ill-treatment, cruel acts, oppression, etc., you sow unhappiness like a seed; and it will give you the fruit of pain, suffering, misery and unhappiness.
What Gives Me Hope Seeing the world through the eyes of my children. An innate & unwavering faith in kindness, empathy, & understanding.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
What/who changed my life and why When I was very young I had dreams of ending hunger & homelessness and achieving world peace. But as I got older that dream faded and was replaced by the American dream of a family, a car, children etc. Priorities Shifted.

Then in January 2009, I lost my older sister Tammy to an accidental multi-prescription drug overdose. And from somewhere deep inside I heard the ear piercing scream of a little girl yell "It's not fair!" And a tide of emotion came flooding out of me so strongly that I wasn't sure I could survive it. . . .
I felt:
* an anger and feeling of injustice that would put you in the running for tantrum of the decade * the rebelliousness of age 7 that says "YOU CANT MAKE ME SHUT UP" * the vulnerability that believes a mothers kiss makes a boo boo better * the compassion given to all living things, rolie-polies included * And I felt alive.

I made a resolution to myself that minute that I would not let my sisters death be in vain. Her death would make way for a legacy of hope and healing. A legacy of change. I would do whatever it took to protect "sisters" from the deadly epidemic of prescription addiction.
And Project My Sisters Keeper was born.
What Bugs Me Apathy, Indifference, Hypocrisy
Passions Tolerance. Civil Rights. Justice. Love
What Scares Me most is the day that we stop caring!
Role Models My Mothers Heart Daughters Innocent Eye
Quotation I see your true colors shining through,
I see your true colors . . . .
And that's why I love you,
So don't be afraid to let them show,
Your true colors are beautiful . . . . .
Like A Rainbow.

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.

The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members, ... a heart of grace and a soul generated by love.

Home Car Songs Jay-Z – Lost One ft. Chrisette Michele and one Maybach Exelero

0 2742

Do you think that famous rappers like Jay-z care about the fuel consumption of a car? Well no, and that’s why today i’ll show you a youtube video with one of Jay-Z’s driving songs, Lost One ft. Chrisette Michele, where you can also see a masked car commercial with a Maybach Exelero :D.

As i’ve said, famous rappers buy outstanding cars and this is also the case for Jay-Z who has a cool collection of supercars, muscle cars, sports cars or luxury cars. So yes, you all need some good car songs which you can listen to when driving and this Jay-Z – Lost One ft Chrisette Michele song is a good choice.

If you check out the video for Lost One you’ll see Jay-Z driving a 700 horsepower Maybach Exelero which has an acquisition cost of 8 million dollars; Yeah, the price tag is huge but the Maybach Exelero’s top speed is clocked at 200 mph or 320 kmh!

When it comes to care of cars, this luxurious Maybach is quite expensive to own, you can go bankrupt with it!

Rappers love expensive cars and it seems that Birdman also bought the 2 door coupe Maybach Exelero, which has a V12 twin turbo car engine oohh and the Maybach Exelero weighs 6000 lb or 2.5 tons! I wish i had such car specs on my day to day auto :D…

maybach exelero top speed fuel consumption and priceThe Maybach Exelero’s fuel consumption goes at about 2.5 mpg or you can do 1 km with 1 liter, do the math, it’s about 100 liters/100 km! Just listen to that beautiful engine sound when it starts!!

Imagine a car crash with a Maybach Exelero. You’ll be ruined!!

Even if you don’t own a Maybach Exelero that shocked the auto world, at least you’ve got some good driving songs from my all about car care blog, Cheers :D!
