We Are/You Aren'tWe are the unwanted, the brokenWe Are/You Aren't3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The ones you forgot about.
So don't be too surprised when we
Start to scream and shout.
We are the living, the dying
The ones you all put down.
But you'll know who we are when we
Run this goddamn town.
We are the corpses, the maggots
The ones you all despise.
But you'll be the ones scared when we
Expose all your lies.
We are the hunted, the lost
The ones you all spurn.
But you'll cry for our help when we
Leave you all to burn.
We are the losers, the winners
The ones that you deny.
But you'll be the ones damned when we
Hear the angels cry.

of frankincense and sacred myrrh
tugging, gently tugging at the coverlet
the draperies drawn,
the candles lit.
Winter's wizened face and beard sent packing
by the blazing willow log
a'crackling, gently crackling in the fireplace
the shivered wind
leads on apace
These dreams to warm us lingering like a balm,
and cider mulled with cardamom
bubbling, gently bubbling in a bowl
blots out the wind
and shuns the cold.

"i know you," he says.
and he looks defeated, he looks sad, he looks like
he's a boy who may one day realize how much
he cares for you, so you cut him off and say,
"minus all the secrets i don't tell anyone."
"well, yeah, minus those."
"then you don't know me at all."
and then you tell him,
i love you. but you don't use those words
because those are taboo. are jinxed.
are knock on wood three times fast.
instead you press him in a hug and say,
i'm sorry, knowing he won't understand
that this is the first time you ever cared for something
enough to try and fix it after you hurt it.
you hope he doesn't ever realize what you're saying
and his response will always be 'what for?' because
if he figures out he loves you nothing changes.
he's just going to be in love with a corpse, a memory,
a pair of trigger happy hands,
CruxI'm only sure of two things:Crux3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I still carry pieces of your cross on my back and
lilies were your favorite flower
Those last three months-
A silent drive home from the mall
purse full of stolen makeup
Dinners with my family where no one
bothered to make the conversion
Endless hours spent looking at paint samples
and I was smart to not buy the brushes
The line at the liquor store blended
with the lines on the road
At the same time with you
without you
Then it was summer and you talked me into a country drive. We stopped on the side of the road to watch a cow giving birth in the center of a pasture. But, the calf never rose to its wobbly legs or felt the heat of the Indian summer….it never tasted dandelions.
The mother stood by the calf's body
long past nightfall
and I stood by yours
long after that
Was this what we meant when we said forever?
Hell Doesn't Even KnowI want to cry so much...Hell Doesn't Even Know3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Maybe I'm happy,
Maybe I'm sad.
I feel so alone,
Yet I've been with people all day.
I feel so unloved,
Yet I know I have people who love me.
I can't talk about these feelings.
I can't open up when the door is locked.
And the key is lost.
I want to inspire,
But I just recieve empathy.
I want to die,
But I keep on breathing.
I feel so confused, lost and all alone.
The feelings inside me are too strong for my body.
I don't want someone to understand.
I want someone to give me the answers to why I am like this.
And a solution to fix the massacre inside me...
Black voidsA black void escapes my lips.Black voids3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
As the infection of pain takes over.
I'm screaming to an empty room.
In it lays all my fears.
My eyes are filled with parasites.
Seeing nothing but black.
Which leaks it's way into my heart.
Trembling fingers, and sweaty palms.
Bugs clinging to my hair.
Nesting in my skin.
I have been contaminated.
By the sins of others.
Nobody can harm me now.
I have been contaminated
By the whispers of the heartless.
Reaching forth for some light.
It only seems to burn my skin.
My right eye has been removed.
And left with a hole.
Head spinning round' and round.
Sitting in this dirty contaminated room.
A perfect fit for me.
Forlorn LoveYou who disrupt my ancient slumber,Forlorn Love3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Slumber so peaceful, eternal,
Eternal nevermore, denied;
Denied my right to rest after trekking through life,
Life that did me well yet still denied.
Denied I have been my love's burning desire,
Desire eternally sought by I,
I who night after night pursued you through and through;
Through the blind fog and shadow's kept,
Kept me at bay, no salvation.
Salvation is a denied dream,
Dream that I once sought,
Sought your burning love and skin's touch;
Touch my soul and lock me away no more,
More, oh no more!
Oh how many nights did I give myself to you,
You who obsess me like a curse,
Curse that pain has given me to use;
Use against you and I together,
Together ever-denied desire!
My desire for you lasts beyond the grave,
Grave neither Death nor anyone shall stand in my way,
Way too long has this meddlesome chase gone on;
On way too long,
Long have I been tired of this petty game.
Petty denial shan't hold back thee,
Thee shall have thy love I rightfully de

To wander with countless hours,
The sun rising spills grief with its rays,
There's always darkness to show the way.
Its hunger that opened my eyes to reality,
Not the abstinence of my desires,
This is perpetual, never ending,
Our freedom,We each our own gods of emptiness.
Mocking reality with the unfathomable perfect,
Nothing experienced or spoken is such a word,
Life itself, is the only gift given,
To hold truth in my arms, not perfection, is happiness.

Curses of fiery hell and torment,
Torment unending, ceaseless;
Ceaseless in its pursuit of vengeance,
Vengeance of the dark machinations that plague my mind!
O devilish machinations that haunt,
Haunt me why, I ask not this fate,
Fate most sorrowful and in agony;
Agony night after night when I slumber,
Slumber I know not, only do I receive nightmares!
Nightmares of dread,
Dread in the vulnerable mind,
Mind, Soul and Body Ravaged;
Ravaged by the demons that dwell unseen,
Unseen who's intentions are most mischievous.
Mischievous nightmares who distort my memories,
Memories of my family now seen with corpses and blood,
Blood that stains my shaking perception of the world;
World gone mad with nuclear fire,
Fire and drive thy mind to insanity!
Yes, insanity is all that remains here,
Here in my ill-percieved visions,
Visions that damn me more and more as into them I peer;
Peer helplessly against my will,

I see the way my friend looks at his girl, and the way she looks at him. Love. It's perfect. He'll wrap his arms around her and whisper in her ear "Hey, you're beautiful. But you already knew that." And I know, that that's the kind of love that I desire. To be with the perfect girl. To wrap my arms around her and whisper lovely things into her ear. I want to hold her hand when we go on walks and talk in our personal inside jokes that only bring us closer. I want to have those phone calls, late at night, where we fall asleep still talking on the phone. I want to slow dance with her in the rain, and then looks into her beautiful eyes, whisper "I love you" and then lean in for a kiss. I want to be able to cook with her, take naps with her, take care of her when she's sick, lonely, scared. I want to be her protecter, herHer.3 years ago in Emotional More Like This

I stood in front of the mirror and stared at my tux-clad body. I tugged at my collar, which felt too tight and uncomfortable. I sighed and reminded myself that I was supposed to be excited. Tonight was a night that would forever be a highlight of my high school career, or so I was told. I could've attempted to try to pump myself up about the whole even by telling myself lies about how fun it would be and how the amount of camaraderie I would feel with my peers would be through the roof and absolutely insurmountable to anything I'd ever experienced before, but I didn't want to waste any more time than I already had trying to figure out how exactly to tie a tie. Speaking of my tie, I glanced down and realized it was crooked once again and attempted to fix it. After a few moments of messing with it, I shrugged and glanced at my alarm clock. I was running late for getting over to Joey's, so I grabbed my camera off of my bed and rushed downstairs. Besides, my l
GravityNot every man can prove their weight, their worth.Gravity3 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
With dreams of wings I am forced to walk.
I wish to become the challenger of my own gravity,
To rise so much higher than fate will allow.
A wall of fate; nothing satisfies.
Just because I defy you, doesn't make me wrong.
The size of my deed will reflect my ego,
Project myself, I must become exactly what I want.
So gravity, I challenge you to keep me down,
I defy you to crush my wings!
In defiance I scream at my fate;
"I'll gain my wings and you'll keep your weight!"

Everything happened in a blink of an eye. Before the sword could pierce between N's eyes, someone bumped into Isaac, causing him to crash and release his weapon. The Samurott landed and rolled a few paces to the left. Dizziness swept his mind, making him flinch as he hopped back to his feet. Anger sipped into his brain, lips pulling to a snarl at the attacker that stopped him.
However, all of it became pure shock to see the Pokémon that halted him. 'Marcus what the hell?!'

The Dark ForestThe dark forestThe Dark Forest3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
It takes you in
And comes when you least expect it
The dark forest
Comfort you
But at the same time it's your graveyard of memories
As you venture deeper into the darkness
You feel this presence sitting on your shoulder
As it gets comfortable you remember the feeling
And it fills you with fright
The dark forest
Horrible in its own way
You hate being there but you've know it for so long
The dark forest
Inside there is no turning back
While you know you don't want to do this
And as you reach the end you see the a shovel
The presence gets stronger as you pick it up
You walk a little longer until you get to a hole
You jump down inside it and start digging
Slowly but surely you can't get out
And when you're trapped there only others can save you
But you're to insecure to accept the help
Even though the wounds on your arms, tells all your tales
And how you started digging that hole
Rest, NowI.Rest, Now3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
The mist of the mountains
Like the breath of a giant
Soft, as if sleeping
Cool this time of year
Settles in around me
Damp and grey
The air is murky
I begin to feel alone.
Darkness comes quickly
The sun is saying goodnight
Over the tops of the peaks
And leaving in a hurry
He is my friend, the sun
Stretching his arms out to warm me
But betraying me at last
Leaving me to the murky gloom.
It is midnight when I hear it
Quiet, at first
Almost like a secret
Then louder, forgetting stillness
Beautiful, like a hundred harps
And wretched, like a dying thing
The sweet melody shatters my soul
And I know it is for me.
Walking outside
The stars lighting my way
I see her there
Black hair, blacker than the night
Pale dress, paler than the moon
Blood stains on her hands
Her task, I see, is washing
Cleansing my garments of life.
Her reflection
Translucent, in the water
Like the ghost of an angel
Her voice sings of
Words never spoken
Love never shared
Ways never parted

The only thing is that you used your venom first.
How does that make me the snake?

You made me an expert of brutality and I don't want to be the snake anymore.

Because no one wants her here.
You'll never see her cry.
She'll never shed another tear.

About Us
Raleigh has seen hundreds of newspapers come and go over the past two hundred years. The Raleigh Times' convoluted lineage started with The Evening Visitor in 1879. After stints as the Press-Visitor and the Raleigh Daily Times, it was bought by John C. Drewry and renamed The Raleigh Times. In 1906 the Times building was erected to house this fledgling paper. Two years later the paper went under until its purchase by John A. Park in 1911. Required to pay in gold coins, Park depleted Raleigh's gold coin supply when he requested $25,000 in gold.

Cindy Crawford Shares First-Ever Bikini Cover Photo at Age 16
Best Throwback Thursday photo ever? Cindy Crawford dug back deep to find her first-ever bikini cover photo to share with her Twitter followers on Thursday, June 6.
"My very first 'cover' during high school in DeKalb, shot in my high school boyfriend's backyard," the 47-year-old supermodel tweeted. "Believe me when I say I had absolutely no idea where that photo would lead to!"
PHOTOS: Stars' first modeling gigs
The attached image was a snapshot of the front page of her hometown newspaper, the DeKalb Nite Weekly, from DeKalb, Ill. The issue was from Nov. 3, 1982, when Crawford would have been just 16 years old.
On the cover, the teen beauty showed off her now-famous curves while posing seductively beside a pool. Since then, Crawford has gone on to cover Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Cosmopolitan and Allure -- to name a few!
In May, Crawford, who is mom to son Presley, 13, and daughter, Kaia, 11, with restaurateur husband Rande Gerber, proved that she hasn't aged a bit when she attended the premiere of The Great Gatsby at the Cannes Film Festival. She flaunted her flawless figure and ageless face on the red carpet in a stunning, white Roberto Cavalli gown.

Do think before you speak. Sometimes offhand comments can be taken in a way we don't intend.
Head off your not-so-nice one-liners by really considering how the people
you're talking to will interpret your words. Some things really are better left
Don't bring up politics.
Even if your family agrees on things, someone will say something

I live in the middle of Germany in Thuringia. Working as a designer and constructor in a engineering office.
I like to spend my free time outdoors.
When I am in another country, I want to meet the people and how they live. I think this is best possible if you stay at private people and not the hotel.
A salient character trait of mine is:I am not a person of many words.

The internet, like the telephone system which preceded it, depends for its existence on communications networks. This unit examines these networks as the means of interconnecting devices so that two-way communication is possible. Examining protocols like HTTP, TCP/IP and ATM as well as the OSI reference model, it provides and overview of the topic for learners who have significant prior knowledge of the subject.
After studying this unit you should be able to:
- evaluate technical descriptions of communication protocols and demonstrate your understanding of their operation;
- describe the characteristics of circuit-switched and packet-switched networks, and of connectionless and connection-oriented modes in packet-switched networks;
- describe the role played by primitives in the OSI reference model;
- explain how 'vertical' and 'horizontal' communication takes place in the OSI reference model;
- describe the main functions of the principal protocols in the TCP/IP architecture;
- describe how application software interacts with the TCP/IP protocol software through application program interfaces;
- find the network and host addresses from IPv4 addresses;
- describe the main functions of each of the layers of the ATM reference model;
- explain the role that virtual path identifiers and virtual channel identifiers play in forwarding ATM cells;
- describe how label switching can support IP over ATM.

Protocols in multi-service networks
People have always communicated with each other – initially by face-to-face communication through gestures and sounds, then over a distance through written messages and signals in the form of fires, lights or flags. Technology, for instance in the form of electrical signals, has reduced many of the limitations of distance. Communication networks have become very important, and modern society depends on them for the smooth operation of economic and social activities. In this unit we regard a communication network as the means of interconnecting devices so that two-way communication is possible, and we shall focus on networks that interconnect telephones or computers. However, you should bear in mind other forms of network such as television and radio networks, which are primarily one-way, broadcast networks. In the future the separation between types of network may be less clear.

Inspired by a true story, this family adventure features an all-star cast, including Don Johnson, Olympic-skating silver medalist Sasha Cohen, Lori Loughlin and Kay Panabaker. Life is a rough ride for awkward, friendless, 15-year-old Moondance (Panabaker). But when a Pinto pony named Checkers leaps into her life, Moondance pursues a dream she never knew she had. Convinced that Checkers has champion potential, she enters him in the Bow Valley Classic, and in the process learns only perseverance lands you in the winner's circle. Directed by Michael Damian, and featuring an irresistible soundtrack, Moondance Alexander is an uplifting story the whole family will enjoy.
A sweet family drama about a girl and her misunderstood horse, Moondance Alexander focuses on a teenager who is longing to fit into a world where she is considered an oddball. Though Moondance (Kay Panabaker) is cute as a button, she's saddled with an unpopular name and that, apparently, is enough to make other 15-year-old girls dislike her. But when the spunky kid finds a mischievous runaway pinto, her life changes for the better. The horse's owner is played by a gravely voiced Don Johnson, who allows Moondance to work at his stable. In return, he will also train her to ride Checkers, who is her new best friend. Moondance is convinced that Checkers is a champion jumper in the making that just needs someone to believe in him. She believes. And by the end of the movie, the parable won't be lost on anyone that in bringing out the best in Checkers, Moondance also discovers her own worth. Directed by soap opera star Michael Damian, the film has a warm, but cheesy made-for-TV vibe. The movie is not without charm. But there are virtually no surprises here, and the viewer easily guesses what will happen way before it actually does. Panabaker, Johnson and Lori Loughlin (as Moondance's mom) are all wonderful in their roles. But figure skater Sasha Cohen is sorely miscast as Moondance's high-school nemesis. --Jae-Ha Kim

Southern California Working Mom needs a fun, attractive & useful backyard
I live in Southern California. I have an empty rear yard, six feet wide, between a block wall and the house. This area is 60 feet long. I prefer herbs, vegetables & native plants preferential to birds/butterflies. I want to cover the 6 ft block wall in vines. I need a walk way the length of it and my kids will also be using the area for a Nerf gun range with soda cans hanging from strings at one end. Could you help me pick the plants and the ground cover best suited for this? :-)
You can use the advanced search option of our plant encyclopedia to search for plants in your hardiness Zone with specific characteristics, such as vines, groundcovers, attactive to birds or butterflies, or even easy to grow.
You might also want to check out our garden plans for ideas of plant combinations that might work in your situation.

Answer this Question
I need real help. Do you know anyone out there that can help? I've done advanced searches. I've found other great sites with searches. None of these are going to tell me which native plants tolerate each other the best and will put up with kids occasionally tromping in them... Some of the plants I look at I'm told straight out won't work if another plant isn't grown next to it... I need someone with a native plant specialty in the southern California area.

Over the past 40 years, Meyer says techniques have become not only much more sensitive and precise, but safer for researchers as they have been able to move away from using radioactive substances. "We can now measure much lower levels of substances than we could when I was a grad student," he recalls. "And with new enzyme immunoassay techniques read by a microplate reader, the work has become not only safer for researchers, but for lab workers and the environment."
To analyze cortisol levels in hair, the researchers need a sample about 3 cm long and weighing about 5 mg, that is, 10 or 12 strands. In humans, this amount cut from the scalp outward represents about three months of hormone activity as human hair grows an average 3 cm per month, Meyer notes. In his UMass Amherst lab about six undergraduates are currently learning the exacting techniques for washing and drying samples, grinding them to powder, extracting the cortisol, and conducting the enzyme immunoassay.
For the collaboration with Bechshft and colleagues, Meyer's lab received blind hair samples from 88 polar bears legally killed between 1988 and 2009 in Greenland by indigenous people who have an arrangement with researchers to provide biological samples. Cortisol will persist in hair for hundreds of years, Meyer explains.
"We have analyzed this hormone in several blind samples of polar bear hair from museum specimens that were killed and stuffed in the late 1800s, and we had no trouble measuring it 125 years later," he says. "Others have measured cortisol concentrations in Peruvian mummies 1,500 years old. It's one of the beauties of hair cortisol, you can measure it in archival specimens."

For Nathan Romano and Carl Cunow, the founders of Onia, launching with swimwear—which many other brands treat as an afterthought or forgo altogether—was a no-brainer. "They're extensions of our own lifestyles," Romano says. "We love going to beaches like the Hamptons and hotels like Miami's Soho Beach House."
But what makes Onia's garments stand out is the duo's exhaustive attention to development, testing, and innovation—the kind of care most designers dedicate to shorts, staples in everyone's closet. And that's exactly the point. "What we offer is essentially a really great walk short," Romano says. "But you can also wear it throughout the day, to go shopping, lounging, or to the pool."
How did you get started?
Romano: Right out of high school, I moved to China to learn product development and production. Then I started working at my family's company, running the sales division of New Balance. That's how I got my feet wet in sales.
Cunow: I had worked at Steven Alan doing product development and production on the men's side of the business for about four years. Then I left to start Onia with Nathan. We got into a bunch of stores, and the business just grew from there.
Why did you start with swimwear?
Cunow: We saw a void in the market, in terms of contemporary sportswear. There was stuff in the designer parts of department stores, but there wasn't something in the middle, in terms of aesthetic, quality, and price. That's why we started in this category.
Romano: It was about the idea of creating travel gear, something functional. It just happened to start with a swimsuit. If you look deep into our garments, they revolve around a certain aesthetic. They look like walk shorts but happen to be swimsuits, too.
How do you get inspired?
Cunow: There's a lot of traveling. Just looking at fabrics is what inspires our collections. I go to a lot of fabric shows, so it all starts there. Then we create the styles. We work with mills from all over the world that are showing innovative yarn, weaving, and printing processes. With swimwear, it's typically solids and prints, but we want to show our guys what's new and different.
What have been the biggest surprises and obstacles in launching your label?
Cunow: There's heavy back-end operational stuff that goes into all of this that you have to deal with regularly. You can make a beautiful sample, but you need to mass produce it and have quality control. And then there's shipping and barcodes . . .
Romano: And then there's HR, logistics, and e-commerce.
Cunow: Yes, one of the biggest surprises was e-commerce. All of our business, so far, has been organic, with no paid online advertising. For people to know the brand and purchase at all hours of the night is really inspiring.
Describe the Onia guy.
Cunow: He can be of any age. He's someone who wants something simple and minimal but of quality.
Romano: He's not logo-driven, either. He appreciates that our garments are built around fit and fabric first. He likes things to be easy, with no bells and whistles. Nothing fussy.
How do you guys unwind?
Cunow: I go to the beach. I was actually in the Rockaways on Sunday. That's why I'm so burnt.
Romano: I go to Miami a lot and stay at the Soho House. We also work with them, as their exclusive men's swim suppliers. It's nice to be able to travel now and play and work at the same time.
Where do you see the line in five years?
Cunow: We see retail stores, but we see them in the right beachy settings, where our customers are actually spending the weekend. We went to a store on Crosby Street, and we went to a store on Madison Avenue, but it didn't work for us. Our customer is in the Hamptons or Miami Beach.
Romano: We always say we want to eventually open remote destination shops. Instead of capturing the guy from New York going to Aruba, we'd open a store in Aruba and get him there. Especially since the majority of our guys forget to pack a swimsuit.

What can only seem the irresistible self-destruction of Dominique Strauss-Kahn has already produced fundamental and irreversible consequences in France and Europe.

What is MSM
Why we think MSM Max is the best brand available
Regular MSM works to detoxify the body. The food that we eat, the water that we drink, and air that we breathe is filled with elements that weaken our immune system and cause a wide variety of ailments. When these elements are removed from our body, we can halt the spiral of degeneration and replace it with a vortex of regeneration. MSM Max pushes your body to a further cleansing by using the original formula of MSM, which can only be found in the raw crystal form. Raw MSM crystals contain two things that the MSM powder has lost over the years.
(1) Raw MSM crystals have a 40% higher oxygenation reaction to the bloodstream. Higher Oxygen content promotes clearer mental thinking.
(2) Raw MSM crystals have 80% more surface moisture, which we call MSM Oil. MSM Oil provides fast immune system building and response.
When MSM was first created at the Oregon Health University (1980), all testing results were produced from the only samples of MSM that had been produced (MSM crystals). Only positive results were observed when taking Pure MSM in the research studies, such as a greatly improved immune system, increased hair / fingernail growth, and skin tone improvements. In this research MSM crystals did not deprive the body of any minerals that the human body needs each day. Even today you will find the original results regularly quoted when someone is trying to sell you MSM, but these results were actually obtained using the Raw crystals. When MSM was produced for human consumption, turning these crystals into a powder, and even mixing them with flow agents such as magnesium stearate or sylox commercialised it. The MSM has been crushed and blown through air chambers, so that MSM can be purchased in an easily usable powder form. This crushing and drying process has drastically reduced the higher oxygen content (that was contained by the Pure MSM crystals), and all but removed the MSM oil from the MSM powder that can be purchased today.
Two years of research has put us back to the originally tested form of MSM (crystals), which not only gives the same health benefits that the regular MSM has given you over the years but with the added bonus of clearer thinking and faster immune system regeneration. MSM Max is made of only the biggest, ugliest crystals to ensure that these results are maximized in this tablet. Freeze dry pressed into a tablet form, this process helps MSM Max retain 100% of the original MSM oil and beneficial properties that the original testing showed to work with the human body. It would be difficult to take MSM crystals orally in the raw form because of their large size and the sharp surface of raw MSM crystals. MSM Max tablets are the only way to easily take and receive the maximum benefits that were documented in the original testing. Likewise they cannot be produced in a capsule form, without again crushing/drying the MSM first. Which would of course put MSM back to square one.
Cheaper MSM products DO work but MSM max is more powerful.
MSM and DETOXIFICATION
One in five may experience negative detoxification symptoms in the first 1-10 days during which toxins are flushed from the system. Symptoms may include diarrhoea, skin rash and/or possible headache along with several days of fatigue. In general the more intense the symptoms, the more toxins there are in the body, and the more MSM is needed for detoxification. To reduce toxic symptoms (if you suspect candida or metals) start with a lower amount of 1000 mg, two times a day and build up to 6,000 mg. twice a day.
Otherwise for a maximum benefit, it's recommended to use an initial "load" amount of 3,000 mg twice a day (Note: this amount can be safely continued indefinitely for maximum results). After initial use, physical energy levels should increase.

It supports something we have seen time and again at the Finchley Clinic: that a healthy gut contributes not only to better digestion but to an overall higher quality of life. Now, as studies go, […]

Staying healthy on holiday
Summer is almost here, which means many of us will soon be jetting off to places unknown. Travel comes with its own unique set of health risks, from unfamiliar foods to contaminated water – not to mention fatigue, jet lag, travel sickness and sunburn. You might even find yourself struck down by stress-induced "holiday flu" […]

How to maintain health on a vegan diet
Vegan and vegetarian diets are experiencing something of a heyday at the moment. And with good reason: for the most part, humans don't actually need to eat meat. We can easily absorb most of the protein and vitamins we need from plant-based sources, and a lot of us nowadays ingest far more fat and protein […]

The London eye is the most beautiful tourist Attractions in London. It's really awesome experience to ride on the London Eye & the see the beautiful London from the top.
London Eye guide
Your guide to visiting the world's most famous observation wheel
Fri Aug 23 2013
CommentsAdd +
Opened in 2000 to provide views of landmarks – the Palace of Westminster immediately southwest, St Paul's Cathedral and the City just northeast and, on a clear day, Windsor Castle more than 25 miles away – the London Eye has since become a landmark itself. Get up close and it's easy to see why: at 394 feet tall and with 32 pods (one for every London borough), the Eye is less an observation wheel than a feat of engineering, strung together with tensioned steel cables that look (and act) like spokes on a bicycle, and decorated with LED lights capable of generating millions of colours. Circuits last 30 minutes, and these days come with a range of optional extras including champagne, chocolate, a Thames cruise and, for the rich and misanthropic, privacy.
The London Eye opening times and ticketing information
The Eye opens at 10am every day except Christmas, while closing times vary according to season (8.30pm during winter months and 9 or 9.30pm during the spring and summer, with a few exceptions on holidays). Prices favour the well-organised, with 10 percent discounts (£17.28 down from £19.20) available on timed 'standard' tickets booked online in advance. 'Flexi' tickets are also available, either for the day or week of your choice, but you'll pay progressively more for the privilege (£20.28 and £25.28 respectively, last we checked).
Where is the London Eye?
The Eye sits between Jubilee Gardens and the Thames just 5 minutes east of Waterloo station (accessible both by rail and by tube), though visitors travelling along the District or Circle lines will find it easier (and far more scenic) to alight at Westminster station and walk across Westminster Bridge. Charing Cross and Embankment tube stations are also within comfortable walking distance, and nearby bus routes include the 211, 77 and 381.
Extras, combo tickets and 4D cinema at the London Eye
Most of the Eye's extras involve booze, food or some combination of the two, and many include a cheeky second go-round for good measure. The 'Hotel Chocolat Tasting Experience' – which includes a personal host, chocolate and truffle tasting session, two glasses of prosecco and a few extra goodies – is broadly representative of what to expect, both in experience and price (£45 per person). That's unless you book a private capsule, which will set you back at least £500. Combination tickets are also available, and include entry to popular attractions such as Madame Tussauds, the London Aquarium, the London Dungeon and London Eye River Cruises. Buy online and you'll save up to 30 percent – a genuine deal if two or more of the attractions are on your to-do list. No matter your ticket, you'll also get free entry to the Eye's 4D cinema experience, a sort of seagull-eyed preview of the real deal, complete with fake snow and simulated fireworks.
