CHARLIE POST IS an old friend of mine and I respect his views. But I beg to disagree…
In our book, Olivier Besancenot and myself pointed to several limitations of Che Guevara concerning issues as workers' democracy and the critique of Stalinism. But we tried to grasp his thought not as a monolithic body of theory, but as thinking in movement, a movement going towards a more democratic conception of socialism. Did he come to a full understanding that socialism is "the democratically organized power of the working class"? No, he didn't, but that doesn't mean that he "rejected" it.
In any case, a critical viewpoint on Guevara's shortcomings is perfectly legitimate. I'm afraid however that the comparison with Third Period Stalinism is widely off the mark, and isn't very helpful in trying to understand the real meaning of Guevara's Marxism (that's an understatement). Let us deal with the main arguments.
On "Third Period Stalinism:" First, did the Third Period break with the "stagist" conception of revolution, for instance in China? That was not Leon Trotsky's opinion, who wrote The Permanent Revolution in 1929, when the "left turn" was in full swing. In his viewpoint, sectarian and "ultra-left" politics were not contradictory with the Stalinist dogma that revolutions in the colonial countries must first go through the "anti-feudal" democratic stage.
As Charlie Post correctly emphasizes, one of the main aspects of Third Period Stalinism was the refusal to consider fascism (Hitler in Germany) as the main enemy. In fact, Stalinists in Germany and elsewhere considered social-democracy — defined as "social-fascism" – as the greatest enemy of the Communist movement, with catastrophic consequences for the workers, and for humanity.
That was the most important and decisive characteristic of the Comintern's Third Period, and the reason why Trotsky came to the conclusion that a new international was needed. Can anything similar to the theory of "social fascism" be found in Guevara? Did he consider the struggle against military dictatorships in Latin America as irrelevant? Did he define the Socialist Parties, for instance in Chile or Argentina, as the main enemy?
I completely agree with Charlie Post's argument that Lenin and Trotsky "undermined Soviet democracy" by their politics during 1918-1922. Would he compare them to Third Period Stalinism ? I don't think so…Not every deviation from the principles of workers' democracy can be equated with Stalinism. This applies also to Che Guevara. In fact, Guevara's writings compare favorably, from the viewpoint of democracy, with some of Trotsky's during that period, such as Terrorism and Communism (1921).
Third Period Stalinism was not only a "left turn" in politics, but a period of brutal repression of dissent, when thousands of Communist oppositionists, particularly the followers of Trotsky, were sent to concentration camps in Siberia, and sometimes killed. Moreover, it is the period when millions of peasants, accused of being "kulaks," were exterminated. Any similarity with Guevara?
Economy and Incentives
Che Guevara's views on economy and politics were they equivalent to those of the break-neck industrialisation of the Third Period? Let us recall that Ernest Mandel, the well known Marxist Economist and leader of the Fourth International, went to Cuba in 1964 and wrote an article supporting Guevara's positions in the economic debate taking place in Cuba; apparently he wasn't aware that this were Third Period Stalinist views.
By the way, another well known Marxist economist, Charles Bettelheim, sharply criticized Guevara's thesis, as heretical and "un-Marxist" because it was contradictory to… Stalin's economic theories.
In our book we discuss the main shortcomings of Guevara's economic views in 1964. His arguments in defense of planning and in opposition to market categories were extremely important and acquire new relevance in light of the neo-liberal vulgate that now dominates with its "market religion." But they leave aside the key political question: Who does the planning? Who determines the major options in the economic plan? Who determines the production and consumption priorities?
Now, precisely on this question Che made an important step forward, one year later, in the Critical Notes on the Soviet Handbook, insisting on the need of "an economic decision by the masses, conscious of the people's interests," because "the masses must be able to direct their fate, to decide which share of production will be assigned respectively to accumulation and consumption."
Are these Third Period Stalinist — or Maoist – economic conceptions? I would argue that they compare favorably to the Bolsheviks conception of Soviet planning during the years 1918-1922.
As Charlie Post correctly suggests, the "internationalism" of Stalinist discourse during the Third Period, or of Maoism in the '60s, was nothing but an instrument for the interests of the Soviet and Chinese bureaucracies. Does this apply to Guevara's internationalism? Is it relevant to his — ill starred – internationalist revolutionary attempts in Congo or in Bolivia? What bureaucratic interests did he serve when he, an Argentinian, joined the Cuban revolutionaries in 1956?
Charlie Post correctly points that Stakhanovism was a bureaucratic device to use rate-busting "model workers" to increase exploitation. But one has to add an important detail: these "model workers" received a better pay and all sort of "material incentives," becoming a privileged layer.
Guevara argued for "moral incentives" but also for collective, instead of individual, material incentives. In the name of the same egalitarian principles, he opposed the privileges and higher wages of enterprise managers in Eastern Europe (all this is well documented in our book). His dream of a "new socialist man" was based on values of equality and solidarity, against competition. Is this still Stalinist Stakhanovism?
To conclude on this issue: there is no need to uncritically celebrate Guevara's legacy, we can agree on that. There is room for a serious critical review of his mistakes and shortcomings. We tried to do that in our book. Insufficiently? Perhaps — but the artificial analogy with Third Period Stalinism is a sure way of missing the point.
On a different set of issues: Is Guevarism responsible for the "uncritical adoration of great leaders such as Morales and Chavez"? I don't know what Guevara would have thought of these leaders. But I know that many Marxists, in Bolivia, Venezuela and elsewhere give critical support to Chavez and Morales, in their struggle with imperialist and oligarchic interests – as Leon Trotsky did when Lazaro Cardenas nationalized the oil companies in Mexico around 1938.
There is no question of "uncritical adoration" but of supporting the effectively anti-imperialist — without inverted commas — policies of these governments, while criticizing their limits.
By the way, unlike Chavez and Cardenas, Morales is not a military caudillo, but a peasant union leader, chosen by an alliance of social movements to be their political representative.
Last but not least: Marx and Engels' writings on ecology. Obviously I cannot deal with this complex issue in this letter, but I offer one brief comment.
John Bellamy Foster's book Marx's Ecology is an excellent study of the important ecological insights in Marx and Engels' writings. But Foster openly aknowledges that there are some important shortcomings in their views on these issue — the most important being, in his opinion, that they ignored the role of ecology in the revolt against capitalism.
I would add another criticism: Marx, and even more so Engels, often defined the socialist revolution as the removal of capitalist relations of production which had become obstacles — "fetters" — to the unbounded development of the productive forces created by capitalism itself. From a modern eco-Marxist perspective, it is obvious that the social-ecological revolution must transform both relations and forces of production, as well as the pattern of consumption and, in fact, the whole paradigm of capitalist civilization.

The Wingfeather Saga
By Andrew Peterson
I read a lot. A lot. And I read a wide range of different genres and stories. I do ARCs. I do Beta Reading. I read a lot.
There is something about a well written fantasy story that grabs me in a way nothing else does. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe some strange mix of nostalgia, not being able to keep my feet on the ground, and being a Christian, which should tell you that I believe in the True and Great Story. I believe in prophecy, a coming King who has come, miracles, angels, heroes, life after death, fulfilment, and resurrection, all of which are rehashed in so many ways in Fantasy Stories. My favorites are Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Watership Down and now…The Wingfeather Saga.
I am at a loss for words to describe this series. I could tell you that I laughed and cried, but that wouldn't tell you about the clever humor Peterson wove through his series from start to finish. It wouldn't tell you about the beautiful and painful moments where longings were fulfilled, but only at the loss of something dear. (I couldn't even write that sentence without choking up as I recalled scene after scene.)
I could tell you it had characters I loved, but that wouldn't tell you how much Podo, that pirate grandpa, meant to me. Or about Peet the Sockman who was my favorite character, or about brave Sarah who maybe one of the greatest female characters I've ever had the joy of adventuring with.
I could tell you it is well written, but that would fail to describe the beautiful word choice with which great longing, pain, sorrow, joy, forgiveness, light, dark, music, and stories were lovingly held out to the reader.
Much like Harry Potter, the story starts out easy. It is just three siblings with their dog getting into trouble, but the action escalates. Innocence is destroyed, and the Igby children find themselves in a new world of legend, mystery, and danger. As the story continues, things get darker and darker and yet, like all well written fantasy, the darker they get the brighter light shines.
I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages. Your children will love it, be they boys or girls, and if you're one of those people, like me, who still curls up with Harry Potter, who still longs to see the elves with Sam, who still dreams of visiting Watership Down, read the Wingfeather Saga.
It's like coming home.

In real life, there is only one method for fast weight loss that is to have a healthy lifestyle but on the other hand, there are several myths that are discussed below, how to lose weight in 10 days at home.

In the natural weight loss process, slow and steady approach always remains the best one.

- Adding whole-grain and healthy food items is the best approach to go with.
All weight loss programs that really works fail in the end
It is a not a lie or a myth, only the thing is that it depends upon your healthy lifestyle and clean eating habits that how much amount of kilos would you resist from coming back.

|Egyptian Angel by Taylor Barnes @ 2010
Of course I have to pose this question now. I tried to avoid it. I tried to ignore it. I tried to discount it. Then today, while getting my morning coffee from the local coffee shop, this is the conversation I overheard:
Young, cute, 20-something girl talking to scruffy bearded 20-something guy:
"I plan to spend the last week of my life in church praying all day. Do you want to come? There is plenty of room in God's house."
Guy: "Nah. If that's gonna be my last week on earth I plan to spend it somewhere in the dessert trippin' my balls off."
This little snippet of conversation got me to thinking about the very thing that I did not want to think about before my first cup of coffee - immortality and our very existence. Lately it seems my world is a confluence of strange spiritual concepts. There is the idea of spiritual self-determination, that my every thought manifests my reality. There is the idea of the universe and it's omnipotent power over all of us and that has a sense of fatalism to it. And then there are angels...
A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine asked me if I would mind if she sent some angels to visit me. I felt like it was a strange concept to wrap my head around but at the same time I have had some profound spiritual events in my life that maybe could only be attributed to the actions of angels... so why not? It seems the angels have a very precise schedule, they travel for 5 days and stay for 5 days. So mine are not due to arrive for a few more days. But I am anticipating this event on several levels.
The days my angels will visit is roughly the week before the world ends. Hmmm - seems advantageous but not the point to focus on. This visit has also caused me to examine intent. Is the power of our intention, focused as a group, so powerful that it can manifest our reality? What does that say about the end of the world? An entire planet of people anticipating and visualizing the end of the world. Meanwhile I have my angels visiting. Talk about a conflict of ideas.
My angels are supposed to give me hope and guidance. I am supposed to make three wishes and let the angels help to manifest them. This is a big responsibility. Remember the fairy tales and the people who squandered their three wishes? I certainly do not want to end up with unexpected consequences to my selfish motives! How I could not wish for the saving of the planet? And what else could I possibly wish for on a personal level that would be so important? A new car, or a trip to Italy seem trivial in comparison to saving the world. I want to be selfish and throw caution to the wind by saying the world will be just fine and we will all wake up on December 22nd to a bright and shiny world. No matter how I rationalize it I still have this idea looming over me... the end of the world.
Intent is everything. So in my quest to come up with the perfect wishes I've come back to intent. The couple in the conversation above represent two perspectives on the end of the world; one is intent upon saving their soul and the other is intent upon living in the moment. Both perspectives are valid to the individual.
Isn't this the energy that art is created from?
My intent is that life thrive and continue every time I pick up a paintbrush. I am hopeful that an audience will be there to appreciate the work when it is finished. My wish is that we love and live well and not at the cost of the planet or others. So I would say, if the angels can manage this, some enlightenment for humanity and a new car for me (preferably one that is not harmful to the environment) would be nice.

Open Doors
When: Thursday, July 22, 5-8 p.m.
Where: Art 3 Gallery, Langer Place, Manchester Artists Association Gallery, Millyard Museum, SEE Science Center, "Art on the Wall at City Hall" Gallery, Framers Market, The Studio of Photographic Arts (SOPHA)
Info: majestictheatre.net/opendoors.php
On July 22, as the trolleys circle around downtown Manchester, they will be doing more than simply bringing patrons to the city's galleries. They will have brought the arts community together.
Open Doors Trolley Night has been operating since 2002, when it began as a project by the NH Art Institute. After a few years, the Majestic Theatre stepped up and became its fiscal agent, according to Robert Dionne, artistic director. This year on three separate Thursdays, two trolleys will pick up and drop off passengers between 5 and 8 p.m. at about eight downtown galleries. The next trolley night is Thursday, July 22. Dionne said people don't need to physically ride the trolleys to participate and can instead walk or drive to the galleries, which offer free admission.
"The trolley night has helped," said Lee Forgosh of Art 3 Gallery, which has participated in the event since its inception. "It has brought people to the gallery that might not otherwise have found us. It is connecting a lot of people who are interested in the arts but also bringing out a lot of new faces."
And therein lies the beauty of the trolley nights. Though they happen only three times a year, planning the events forces those behind the scenes together. Every venue that participates must have a person on the Open Doors committee, according to Christine King, owner of the Framers Market. King said this committee meets at least six times a year to strategize.
"When we first took over, 99 percent of the work was being done by the Majestic," Dionne said.
"Now it is run by the committee and we just oversee it. Even if no one showed up it would be a success because of the collaboration that goes on. But of course we want a lot of people to come out."
Forgosh said such communication has connected the arts and culture in the city and created a sort of fraternity.
"I think we're beginning to realize we're all here for each other," Forgosh said.
Through the advertisement for the trolley night on places like Facebook, the participating venues get more exposure. And because there is always the chance of new visitors, the venues want to have something that draws a crowd, according to King. This is why many of the galleries involved open new exhibits on trolley nights and have artist receptions.
"It really forces us to have more shows," Forgosh said.
This process did not happen overnight, and the trolley nights have greatly improved over the years.
"This is the third year we've participated in it," King said. "Every year it has gotten better and every trolley night during the year gets better too."
This is the first time a trolley night will be held in the middle of the summer. Dionne hoped great weather would bring people out. There will also be a restaurant raffle, which means when visiting a free venue people can sign up to win gift certificates at Manchester restaurants. This year's final trolley night will be held Thursday, Oct. 21.

In December 2010 my WD 1TB My Book Studio Edition WD10000H1Q-00 stopped working. After I used it to backup some files from my older Windows XP PC and then reconnected it to my Windows 7 laptop, it kept saying "you need to format disk E; before you can use it". The fix was unbelievable simple: "chkdsk e: /f". However, it took me a while to find this 'solution' on the internet.
I hope I'll have some time coming weeks to complete my mission.
In the meantime I upgraded my Oracle VM Virual Box to version 4.0.4. I have no screenprints, as installation is very straightforward (keep clicking next).
Also I applied Service Pack 1 for Windows7 (64 bit).

It is not unusual for atheists and Christians to come together on criticizing the oppressive nature of Islam. The violence over cartoons depicting Mohammed is a good example, as many Christians agree with atheists that murdering people for drawing or publishing cartoons is ridiculous. But we would do well to remember that there are plenty of Christians who look on the power of Muslims to restrict criticism of their religion with some degree of envy.
It was not long after Comedy Central announced that there were planning a cartoon featuring Jesus in a modern context that Christian groups begin to object. And you know what? They are making at least one valid point: it does appear that Comedy Central is guilty of a double-standard.
The network has repeatedly caved to pressure from Muslims to avoid depicting Mohammad and tone down the mockery of Islam. At the same time, they have mocked virtually everything mockable about Christianity. The examples from South Park alone and too numerous to list. There does seem to be a double standard, and frankly, I don't blame some Christians for being upset about it.
Not surprisingly, my solution to this problem would be quite different to the one these Christian groups are advocating. They want the Jesus show cancelled and no more mockery of their religious beliefs. I think the problem is that Islam needs to be mocked a hell of a lot more. Comedy Central needs to be an equal opportunity offender.
The problem with this sort of double-standard is that it contains a clear and disturbing message to Christians: if you were as violent as some of the Muslims, you'd get your way too. This is not the kind of message we want to be spreading. The kid gloves need to come off with regard to the treatment of Islam.

South Coast Tour | Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, Vik & Waterfall
Step right up to experience the glaciers, icebergs and waterfalls that give Iceland its stunning reputation, culminating at one of the most popular attractions of all: Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. This tour is for anyone who would like to see the landscapes which make Iceland one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world.
You'll be picked up at your designated pickup location in Reykjavík and glide down the south coast, past sun-sparkled fields of grass, fields of black lava cooled and hardened after eruptions long ago, sheep and horses playing with their young in the glens, and cliffs and mountains rising high over the land.
The lunch break will be held at a local restaurant where you can discover Icelandic dishes! Once you have stretched your legs, you'll continue on the coast past Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Iceland.
Finally, you'll reach one of the crowning glories of Iceland, Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. The ancient ice in the lake breaks off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, making its way through the lagoon before being released into the sea.
You'll have plenty of time to explore here, watching out for gulls and seals that play in the lagoon and admiring the blue colour of the icebergs. You can also take a walk on nearby Diamond Beach with its black sand, another hint towards Iceland's volcanic past. Chunks of ice wash on shore here and sparkle in the sun like diamonds on a bed of velvet, which is what inspired the name.
You'll make your way back to the West and stop in Vík, a small town on the coast and an important stop on the Ring Road. You'll experience the cute cafés and souvenir shops during this dinner break.
On the way back, you'll be passing one of Iceland's most famous waterfall: Seljalandsfoss. An additional secret stop will be planned in this itinerary!
So hurry now and grab a seat on this fantastic bus tour to see the true natural jewels of Iceland's south coast. Check the booking availability by choosing a date.

- Highlights: Jökulsárlón,
Jökulsárlón is Iceland's most famous glacier lagoon. Conveniently located in the southeast by Route 1, about halfway between the Skaftafell Nature Reserve and Höfn, it is a popular stop for those travelling along the South Coast or around the Ring Road of the country.
As a glacier lagoon, Jökulsárlón is a lake that is filled with the meltwater from an outlet glacier. In this case, it is Breiðamerkurjökull, a tongue of Europe's largest ice cap, Vatnajökull.
It stands out, however, due to the fact that it also fills with icebergs breaking from the glacier, some of which tower several stories high.
These icebergs, other than their scale, are notable for their colouration. Although they are, as expected, largely white, most are also dyed electric blue in part, with black streaks of ash from eruptions centuries past.
When the icebergs finally make it across the lagoon, they either drift out to sea or wash up on the nearby shore. Because of the way they glisten against the black sands of Breiðamerkursandur, this area has been nicknamed 'the Diamond Beach'.
In spite of being a rather recent formation, Jökulsárlón is the deepest lake in the country, with depths of 248 metres (814 feet). With a surface area of 18 square kilometres (7 square miles), it is also growing to be one of the largest.
Jökulsárlón has not been around since Iceland's settlement; it only formed around 1935. This was due to rapidly rising temperatures in the country from the turn of the twentieth century; since 1920, Breiðamerkurjökull has been shrinking at a dramatic rate, and the lagoon has begun to fill its space.
Today, the expansion of Jökulsárlón is accelerating. In 1975, it had less than half its current surface area.
In the relatively near future, it is expected that the lagoon will continue to grow until it becomes a large, deep fjord.
Though a dark omen for Iceland's glaciers and ice caps in general, the retreat of Breiðamerkurjökull has resulted in an incredibly beautiful, if temporary, site. This has not been overlooked by Hollywood.
Jökulsárlón has been featured in the James Bond films A View to Kill in 1985 and Die Another Day in 2002, 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and 2005's Batman Begins.
In 2017, Jökulsárlón was enveloped into the Vatnajökull National Park, thus it is now fully protected by Icelandic law.
Because of the wealth of herring and capelin that the tides bring into the lagoon, Jökulsárlón is somewhat of a hot-spot for Iceland's wildlife.
In summer, it is a nesting site for Arctic Terns; stay well away from their nesting area, as these birds are notorious for the fierceness with which they protect their eggs, dive-bombing the heads of any they see as a threat. Skuas also nest on the lake's shores in this season.
Seals can be reliably spotted here throughout the year, swimming amongst or else hauling out on the icebergs. Jökulsárlón provides them with a safe haven to rest and socialise, especially considering the waters of southeast Iceland are renowned for their population of orcas.Seljalandsfoss,
Seljalandsfoss is a waterfall that can be fully encircled, situated on the South Coast of Iceland with a drop of 60 metres (200 feet).
Due to the waterfall's close proximity to the Ring Road and impressive natural features, it is one of the country's most famous and visited falls. Majestic and picturesque, it is one of the most photographed features in all of Iceland.
Geology and Surroundings
Seljalandsfoss waterfall, part of the river Seljalandsá, has its origins underneath the glacier Eyjafjallajökull. The volcano beneath this ice cap was the one that erupted in 2010 and caused havoc at airports across Europe.
The cascade of the falls is relatively narrow but falls from a tall cliff that once marked the country's coastline, the sea is now located across a stretch of lowlands and is visible from the site.
The most distinguishing feature of Seljalandsfoss is a pathway that stretches around it. The cliffs behind the falls have a wide cavern, and rocks and paths allow guests to fully encircle it in summer.
Though a mesmerising opportunity, visitors should be prepared to get dampened due to the perpetual mist of the falls, which also tends to make the rocks of the pathway slippery.
Floodlights have been set up on both sides of the waterfall, which impressively illuminate the scene during the night when the midnight sun is not out. The lights were installed in 2001 due to the growing popularity of the falls as a tourist destination.
After visiting Seljalandsfoss, it is common for visitors to continue north to the waterfall Gljúfrabúi, which is found partially hidden behind a rock face. Because of Seljalandsfoss extreme popularity, Gljúfrabúi is widely considered the hidden gem of the scene, as it is too often overlooked.
Seljalandsfoss is also usually visited alongside the nearby Skógafoss. The waterfall falls from the same height, and while it cannot be encircled, it is much more powerful and steeped in the legend of a giant's hidden treasure.
Visitor Centre Controversy
In 2017, it was announced that a visitor's centre was to be constructed near the falls. The design of the building indicated that it would be seven metres (23 feet) high and 2,000 square metres (21,500 square feet) in size. Landowners in the area opposed to the idea, proclaiming that the centre would greatly alter the natural appearance of the waterfall's renowned scenery.
The project has neither been fully approved nor wholly cancelled, with ideas surfacing of either significantly reducing the size of the construction, or moving the visitor centre's location further away, for instance to the nearby farmstead Brekkuhorn.
Seljalandsfoss in Popular Culture
Along with a multitude of South Iceland's most famous natural attractions, Seljalandsfoss can be seen in Justin Bieber's music video for his song 'I'll Show You'. Please enjoy the video without emulating any antics that will endanger yourself or the environment.
The waterfall was also a featured waypoint during the first leg of the sixth season of The Amazing Race, an American reality TV series.Vík í Mýrdal,
Vík í Mýdral, or just Vík, is the southernmost village on the Icelandic mainland, located 186 kilometres (110 miles) from the capital Reykjavík.
Often visited by those travelling the popular sightseeing route along the South Coast, it is a wonderful place to stop, recharge, and if you are taking your time, rest for the night. Though it only has around 300 residents, the village is very popular amongst tourists for its convenience and beautiful surrounding landscapes.
Features near Vik
Reaching Vík from Reykjavík takes approximately two and a half hours, and en route, there are many marvellous features to admire. Two of the country's most famous waterfalls, Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, lay between the two destinations; the former has awe-inspiring power, whereas the latter can be fully encircled.
The glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull can also be seen on clear days; both of these cover volcanoes which are particularly explosive, with Eyjafjallajökull famously disrupting European air travel in 2010. Out to sea in especially good weather, the Westman Islands can also be seen on the horizon.
Just before Vík are the popular birdwatching cliffs of Dyrhólaey, where you can also find an enormous rock arch curving out into the ocean. This is one of the best places for birdwatching in Iceland, with thousands of puffins nesting here from May to August.
The village itself sits opposite one of the country's most famous features: Reynisfjara black sand beach. Considered one of the world's most beautiful non-tropical beaches, it boasts incredible geology.
Particularly of note are the Reynisdrangar sea-stacks, said to be two trolls frozen in the light of the morning sun as they tried to pull a ship into shore.
Though this beach makes for a lovely walk, particularly for those staying in Vík overnight, as they can see it under the midnight sun or northern lights, it has its dangers. Sneaker waves can be notorious here, so visitors should stay far from the water's edge, and never go for a swim. Lives have been lost here before.
The route to Vík from Reykjavík is beautiful and continues to be so as you travel further along the South Coast, through the Skeiðarásandur black-sand-plains into Vatnajökull National Park. This beautiful region is often the final destination of those passing through Vík, as it is home to the largest glacier in Europe, the Skaftafell Nature Reserve, and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon.
Of course, ambitious travellers will carry on from here to encircle the full country.
Wildlife around Vik
Vík, due to its closeness to the Reynisfjall and Dyrhólaey cliffs, has a rich birdlife. Short walks from the village will take you to the nesting grounds of gulls, fulmar, guillemots, and in summer, puffins.
Due to its coastal location, visitors to Vík have a decent chance to see seals on the shore. There is also a slim chance to see whales or dolphins; the twenty or so species that live in Iceland's waters can appear at any time.
Services in Vik
Vík has a wide variety of public services, due to its remoteness and its importance in connecting the east and west of Iceland. There are gas stations, shops and cafes, a swimming pool, a wool factory that can be visited, and a wide range of accommodation options for all budgets.
Please note, however, that as the village has such a small year-round population, those with special dietary requirements should purchase their food from Reykjavík before departing.Diamond Beach
The Diamond Beach is a strip of black sand belonging to the greater Breiðamerkursandur glacial plain, located by Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon on the South Coast of Iceland.
Here, the icebergs which fill Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon wash up on shore, standing dazzling and defiant in stark contrast to the black sand beach. It is, therefore, a favourite amongst photographers, nature-lovers, and wildlife-enthusiasts. Many seals call this beach home, and it is one of the best places in the country to see orcas from the shore.
Breiðamerkursandur is a glacial outwash plain located in the municipality of Hornafjörður. The sand stretches approximately 18 kilometres along Iceland's South Coast, more specifically from the foot of Kvíárjökull Glacier to the famed glacier lagoon Jökulsárlón, that nests by the foot of Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier.
Both glaciers make up part of the 30 outlets of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest ice cap and the central feature of the Vatnajökull National Park. Many of these are seen en route to the Diamond Beach as you travel along the South Coast.
The outwash plain was formed when three of Vatnajökull's outlet glaciers, Breiðamerkurjökull, Hrútárjökull and Fjallsjökull, flowed forward due to volcanic activity and ground the rocks of the underlying surface, creating and pushing forward the glacial sediments.
Such sand plains are a common part of the Icelandic landscape, due to the island being volcanically active as well as boasting numerous ice caps. The terminus (the tip of a given glacier) also dug deep into the ground and left what is now the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Although now the deepest lake in all of Iceland, it only began to form in 1935.
The glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach are fantastical sites, however, the rate of their expansion is, unfortunately, a consequence of climate change. With the rate that the glaciers are melting, there may be no ice left at either site within decades.
Jökulsárlón Icebergs
Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is one of the most famed and visited attractions in Iceland. Floating on the lagoon are enumerable icebergs that have broken off the resident glacier, creating an ever-changing scenery of incredible allure.
The river Jökulsá connects the lagoon to the Atlantic Ocean, meaning that these icebergs eventually drift out to sea where they are polished by the waves before floating back to the black sands of Breiðamerkursandur. The name 'Diamond Beach' thus comes from the white ice on the black sand appearing like gemstones or diamonds, as they often glisten in the sun and sharply contrast their jet black surroundings.
Safety at the Diamond Beach
The Diamond Beach is a safe place for any responsible traveller; unlike at Reynisfjara, another South Coast black-sand-beach, sneaker waves and rip currents are not notorious for whisking unwitting tourists out to sea. However, there are still dangers to consider.
The main one of these is the icebergs themselves. Under no circumstance should you climb upon an iceberg, due to their slippery surfaces and sharp edges.
This is especially the case if the iceberg is at all in the water, as it could flip and trap you underneath, or else be pulled out to sea by a current with you on it.
The risk of injury and illness in the form of hypothermia is so great that extortionate fines exist to deter any 'rebels' looking for a thrill-seek. These have only come about due to serious incidents, to protect not only tourists at the lagoon but guides and staff who may feel obligated to embark on a dangerous rescue if they see someone at risk.
Pickup time : 07:00.
Please be at your pickup location in time for your departure. Should your pickup location be at a bus stop and you need assistance finding it, seek guidance in your Hotel's reception or contact your tour provider directly. Please note that it can take up to 30 minutes for us to reach your pick up point.

Shoulder bags are popular single compartment bags for ladies, teens and older children at the recreational level. They are designed to carry a single racquet, a tube of tennis balls and a small pair of shoes. Generally speaking, they are not very popular with men who tend to prefer bags with two straps and two or more compartments.
The problem with this bag style for men starts with capacity. While these bags are large enough to carry shoes sized for ladies or children, they are not usually big enough to handle men's shoe sizes. A man with size 10 or larger feet will often have trouble getting their shoes in the bag along with their racquet and balls. And if they do manage to stuff everything in, the zipper soon starts to fail. The larger the man's feet, the more of a problem a bag this size will be.
The other problem with bags this size for men is weight. Male racquet sports players tend to carry more equipment that women. Furthermore, the equipment they carry tends to be heavier. Men's shoes, for example, are larger AND heavier that ladies shoes. Their racquets are heavier, too. Men also tend to carry more balls and more accessories that either women or children.
Shoulder bags are not designed to carry a lot of weight. In fact, too much weight causes them to sag in the middle which in turn causes them to want to fold and become very awkward to carry.
So if you are buying a bag for a recreational player you will want to consider how they will be using it before you opt for a shoulder bag.
If the player you are buying for is a woman who usually carries a purse, then you
If the player is a casual or occasional player who does not need anything more than one tennis racquet, a tube of balls and maybe a pair of small shoes, then a shoulder bag might be appropriate. If, however, they play tennis regularly, then you should probably look at getting a larger bag with two straps and two or more compartments.

You are no longer responsible for yourself. You are part of a unit which you agreed upon (taking a solemn oath or vow.)
Sadly, I think many Americans forgo these promises and continue working independently from the unit.
Am not saying you are your spouse's keeper.
God no! 😦
What I am saying is that each and every adult out there, who is in a serious and committed relationship, take personal responsibility over themselves, their actions.
With that being said, when those of us, like myself, who've been more single than attached, we can sometimes forget that there is another person in the equation. Their happiness, their self-worth becomes entangled with the every-day-to-day doldrums of simply existing.
Though my parents' marriage was by no means perfect, they stuck together through it all. And, this is the template I go by.
Mom and dad took their vows quite literally, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health.
That's why I can't seem to understand how people easily discard the sacred vows they went into freely…eyes wide open.
I've been part of team my entire adult life. The military taught me about self-sacrifice for the betterment of the whole. In marriage, we will make sacrifices for our spouses, as long as these acts are not taken for granted.
I see too many couples who settle into a comfortable and habitual day to day married life. The wants of the one outweigh the needs of the two.
When this happens communication is the key. Yes, I've beaten up this topic to death on this blog but wow….when it comes to such a sacred institution as marriage, when you love someone……when you truly love them….sacrifices will be made if not today…then tomorrow. And if you feel like your voice isn't being heard, speak up…being married means being part of a team.
Don't be that silent partner.

A very dear friend of mine sent me this link where you can see the very first PowerPoint ever shown in a company and that was IBM. You can have a look at the slides clicking this link.: http://www.squareamerica.com/ib.htm
Now I'm notsaying this is a great slideshow and you can see judging from the pictures that it is old, but at least is is a true VISUAL slideshow. The reason I post this on my blog is because this is the proof in my opinion that this is why powerPoint was created, to show visual stuff, not the reports that we see nowadays. So my motto is 'use PowerPoint again the way it was intended and follow the old IBM example!'

Naturally, when I received my own bottle of Ylang Ylang to try, I was pretty excited about it!
* Product and/or service provided for review without cost. As always, all opinions are my own.
If you would like to read more Scential Health Essential oils reviews, please check out Frankincense, Lemon, and Grapefruit!
Scential Health Ylang Ylang Essential Oil was sent to me for review. The oil comes in a small, 15mL amber glass bottle to protect it from light damage. The bottle comes wrapped in bubble wrap inside of a box to prevent breakage during shipping.
The Euro-style dropper cap seems to be standard on all Scential Health Essential Oils, which allows for even distribution of the oil, one drop at a time. The cap is rubber-rimmed, which allows the oil to stay in the bottle, tightly sealed.
When I first smelled the Ylang Ylang, it wasn't what I expected. I knew it was going to be a floral scent, but I don't think I expected it to be so rich.
You should note, however, that I do not really care for floral scents, which is likely the reason that Ylang Ylang was so off-putting for me. It seems to be a favorite among the essential oil community, so please do not let my opinion deter you from trying it for yourself. Not to mention, the benefits are amazing.
I didn't want to give up on the oil that easily, so I looked up possible blends to try. One website suggested mixing a drop of Ylang Ylang with a drop of Lemon Essential Oil. This was the winning combination for me. It smells great, and the citrus evens out the overly floral fragrance.
Brief History of Ylang Ylang
Long ago, Indonesians used flowers from the Ylang Ylang tree to decorate the beds of newlyweds. Also, Indonesians refer to Ylang Ylang as "Poor Man's Jasmine" due to its sweet aroma and its properties that are similar to jasmine.
Distillation Method
Ylang Ylang is extracted through steam distillation of fresh flowers from the Ylang-Ylang tree (Cananga odorata). This tree is native to the rain forests of Asian and South Pacific islands, including Indonesia, Polynesia, and the Philippines.
The quality of the Ylang Ylang oil depends on when the flowers are picked and the distillation process. Flowers produce the highest quality and most oil when picked in the early morning. Also, the first hour of distillation produces the best quality oil—this oil is often referred to as "Ylang Ylang Complete." The last distillation produces the poorest quality oil which is simply referred to as "Cananga."
Benefits and Uses of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
Ylang Ylang is used for a number of purposes. Some of the potential uses are outlined below:
- Hair Growth
- Anxiety Relief
- Relaxation
- Skin Care
Ylang Ylang is also used to relieve muscle tension and is often said to have antiseptic, antidepressant, and sedative properties. In spirituality, Ylang Ylang is said to balance male and female energies and induce harmonic balance.
As if those benefits weren't enough, Dr. Tim Betts of the Neuropsychiatry Clinic at Birmingham University believes that Ylang Ylang is one of the most effective oils to control epilepsy.
Overall Opinion
While I do not particularly care for the scent of Ylang Ylang by itself, I've found that mixing it with lemon essential oil makes it a pleasant fragrance that I can live with. I've been using Ylang Ylang diluted on my son's scalp, as he has seborrheic dermatitis. I have noticed that the scales are loosening up, which is allowing them to be easily exfoliated to reveal the healthy skin underneath.
Head on over to Scential Health to pick up your own Ylang Ylang Essential Oil.

Sharing Your Political Stance As A Speaker
Since you are likely to find yourself in situations where you are speaking to groups on your information marketing topic, I have a few words to say on the subject of sharing your political stance as a speaker. In a word – don't. This is, of course, my personal opinion, and there may be many instances where your personal and professional politics are intertwined with your speaking platform, but unless it is PART of your topic and integral to your subject matter, I'm suggesting you avoid it.
Religion and politics used to be the two main aspects of any speaker's ideology that should be avoided. That applied to speaking casually in a group of friends, co-workers or even strangers, as well as public speaking from a podium. Now there are a lot more topics added to the list, as a result of sharp public focus on political correctness. Political correctness is not just for politics, in other words.
I noticed an article in the Los Angeles Times by Kevin Hassett entitled, "Commencement Speakers: Conservatives Need Not Apply." Hassett relates how Karl Rove and Paul Rand were heckled by protesters while speaking at recent college commencement ceremonies. And how, following those incidents, Robert Zoellick and Ben Carson cancelled their commencement speeches.
Hassett concluded his article on graduation speeches this way:
"America has become much more polarized over the last few decades, and observers have blamed politicians and gerrymandering. But some of the blame lies elsewhere. America's institutions of higher education have become some of the most polarizing institutions in our society. Students who pass through them are remarkably well-prepared to join our uncivil political discourse."
And I am concluding this blog post by saying, enter the political fray at your own risk when you are speaking as an information marketer.

Gerard Butler was briefly hospitalized on Monday (December 19) when he was injured while filming a stunt for his new film Of Men and Mavericks.
The Scottish actor was knocked over by a large wave while shooting a surfing scene in the Northern California ocean, according to ET Online.
Butler was rushed to a local medical center, but his spokesperson has insisted the actor is feeling better after being treated by doctors.
"He's fine. Very scary. They brought him to Stanford University. More scary than anything," the actor's rep told the website. "For precaution, we all wanted him checked out after it all happened. Came out with flying colors."
This is the second accident Butler has suffered on film sets in recent years. The star recently revealed that he was accidentally shot twice in the head while working on Machine Gun Preacher.
Butler stars in Of Men and Mavericks as a big wave surfer who seeks to ride the infamous Northern California break called Mavericks.
Of Men and Mavericks opens in US cinemas on October 26, 2012. No UK release date has been announced.

text: So today I had another wedding! That makes two in the last month already! Seriously what job would be more fun than this (besides my dream of becoming a national geo photographer)? NOTHING would be. I honstly love what I do to pieces. I adore it. Today, I brought along my sweet little friend, Ale. She's just starting on the route to establishing herself as a photographer and I thought it would be fun to have her tag along and help me with photos today! On a normal wedding day, I usually am on my feet running around and shooting thousands of photos for 12 hours or more. But today was a smaller wedding, about 8 and a half hours of shooting, and just under 800 photos. It's not every day I photograph smaller weddings! It was a nice change :] Karla and Scott were the funniest couple I've photographed yet. He's VERY into her, and makes it clear how alive their chemistry is which is AWESOME for a photographer! During their engagement session, he couldn't keep his hands off her. If only every relationship was that way! Don't be afraid to show some love and affection, people! Their wedding was at a local clubhouse pool, another first for a location for me. I really enjoyed the intimate setting and atmosphere it gave me to photograph. Ale and I had so much fun shooting this wedding, I can't wait to start editing the photos! I think in total, Ale and I have 1800 photos to go through and process and edit, ahh! And people wonder why it takes so long to recieve your photos after the ceremony!! In the end though, there is never anything to complain about in being in this line of work. The emotions, locations, the love two people share, and everything else that goes with weddings is always such a joy for me to experience.

Strange as it may seem, the first thing I noticed was the kitty litter scoops. The cleanup workers must have been on break, because they couldn't be seen from across the giant berm of sand on the beach. But a collection of the tools of their trade – rakes and litter scoops – were easy to spot in the sand as I climbed over the berm toward the water to see what effect the oil spill had taken on the beach crowd at Dauphin Island.
While exact numbers remained elusive, tourist businesses along the Gulf Coast all reported feeling the sting of lost income from a noticeable dip in tourism this summer following the Deepwater Horizon spill. Many business owners had told me that the holiday weekends – Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day – account for a large percentage of their summer income.
With the cleanup workers out of the scene it looked like a fairly regular, if sparsely populated, day at the beach.
Before I knew it, a cleanup worker wearing a protective coverall came around the sand berm and collected one of the scoops. He sealed up his suit and went to work. This scene punctuated an otherwise typical holiday beach scene with a touch of the surreal as he patrolled the beach looking for tar balls.

Product Code: TV1-MWP-4Y-1Y
Suggested Retail Price £5,199+VATWhere to buy Videos
CORIOview is the fastest, most intuitive 4K multi-window processor with up to 8 sources. This easy to use, plug and play solution features front panel control for preset recall or source selection. With six (6) product variants CORIOview can take in almost any input type and display it on a HDMI display up to 4K. Input types include: IP, HDMI, DVI-U and SDI.
The CORIOview multi-window processor is available in six off-the-shelf models as well as a wide variety of made to order versions.
CORIOview has 16 different preset layouts giving users the ultimate freedom for displaying any number of sources in different sizes and locations on the display.
When selecting window layouts or switching sources; transitions, such as fade through black or eye-catching motion transitions, provide a unique visual experience.
Sources can be labeled making them easily identified. Borders can be added to labels and video windows.
CORIOview's front panel is minimalist in its design and is easy to use. Users can activate preset layouts, route video and audio using the front panel. The Info button, a first in the AV industry, is an instant source of information displaying current source and window assignments.
CORIOview offers Up/Down/Cross conversion for the full range of analog and digital video signals using high-quality CORIO scaling engines.

When a product is as flexible as tvONE's CORIOview it can be hard to define what type of product it actually is. tvONE refer to their product as a "4K multi-window viewer". I say an "AV source shifting chameleon". Why? Because CORIOview blends multiple unrelated AV sources and resolutions together and scales them all to fit on one large format display - but it doesn't end there. Yes, tvONE's CORIOview can be used as a static multi-viewer seen in CCTV galleries and video control rooms but it also has a ton of features which make it ideal for conference presentations or meeting rooms or bring your own device design collaborations.

I ran into SSL timeouts on in local development setup when I was re-factoring some integration code with facebook and using their SDK. It was tricky to diagnose, I was sure that my changes couldn't be the cause, and I finally confirmed it by running our production codebase. Since it was having the same timeout error, I knew the bug had to be in an underlying layer.
For the record, I'm running this version of curl on my Archlinux box:
curl 7.25.0 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.25.0
 OpenSSL/1.0.1 zlib/1.2.6 libssh2/1.4.0
I also got the error from the command line with
curl "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token"
But it is fixed with
curl --sslv3 "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token"
Debian Server
On a debian squeeze server, with the latest (4/3/2011) version of curl:
curl 7.21.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.0
 OpenSSL/0.9.8o zlib/22.214.171.124 libidn/1.15 libssh2/1.2.6
The timeout does not happen with either of the following commands:
curl "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token" curl --sslv3 "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token"
The time out does not happen on OS X which runs
curl 7.21.4
So, this timeout only seems to affect users with very new version of curl. Fixing it requires adding a line to the Facebook PHP SDK, which while minor, you have to remember if you ever upgrade it. At the same time, this bug could come back and bite you down the road if your operating system sneaks in a newer version of curl. You can see a fork of the PHP SDK with this fix on github.
