I used to be able to lie in the bath and look through the window at Cobstone Hill above Turville, Bucks, in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Now the trees have grown up and obscured it.
Cobstone is probably a derivation of 'Copstone'. Copp means summit and is usually applied to a hill or ridge which has a narrow, crest-like summit.* Cobstone Hill is that shape.
It is topped by the white windmill made famous by Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The parish boundary runs along the back of the houses on the north side of the road through Turville, so Cobstone Hill is in Ibstone parish, but its affinity is with Turville and it provides a beautiful backcloth to the brick-and-flint houses.
When we moved to Turville in 1987 the footpath which leads past our cottage to the hill, Ibstone footpath 5, had been waymarked on the wrong route with Chiltern Society white arrows, and the definitive route was obstructed by fences and trees. We soon got that sorted.
Chalk downland
The hill, being chalk downland, is in part mapped as access land with freedom to walk under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. Absurdly though, only half the hill is mapped for access: the section to the south and east of the windmill, which looks identical to the mapped land, was excluded. This is because of the nonsensical requirements of the access mapping.
For the access map the hill was divided into three portions. Two are to the west of Ibstone footpath 10 which runs from Turville village straight up the hill to the windmill (you can see it marked by a hedge in the above photo). The westernmost parcel (A) belongs to the Wormsley (Getty) Estate. The adjoining one (B) belongs to David Leggett. These became access land. The easternmost section (C) also belongs to David Leggett and was excluded.
The landowners appealed against the inclusion of the land as open country (ie access land) on the provisional map. Thus there was a public inquiry. Parcels B and C were considered at the same inquiry before inspector Clive Kirkbride. He approved B, because it consisted predominantly of unimproved calcareous grassland and it had an open character, situated on a chalk escarpment with open views in several directions.
On parcel C he agreed with the Ramblers and others that the site 'may qualify as down', but considered there to be an inadequate boundary between the claimed land and the non-qualifying land (which is improved pasture) to the north. Thus he decided that parcel C would have no legal access. I suspect a boundary had been recently removed, probably in anticipation of the public inquiry since landowners knew how to change boundaries and remove or erect fences so as to keep their land off the map.
Footpaths and access
From the village you can climb the hill by footpath 10, or you can tackle it obliquely by taking the aforementioned footpath 5, which leads to Ibstone church a mile away. Once you reach the access land, you can roam freely. However, there is a fence vertically running down the hill so if you want to reach the windmill, you have to choose your crossing-points—of which more here.
Footpath 5 cuts across a corner of the access land then goes up through a woodland which opens out into scrub. It cuts across another field (see earlier blog about our problems here in 2011) before reaching a beechwood on top of the hill.
Titania's bank
Richard Mabey in Weeds (Profile Books Ltd, 2010) quotes Oberon's poetic description of Titania's bank in A Midsummer Night's Dream. This mentions six species: thyme, oxlip, violet, woodbine, musk-roses and eglantine. Richard reckons that Cobstone Hill is as close as any to the 'bank where the wild thyme grows' and knows that at least four of these plants occur there (though not all flowering simultaneously).
Cobstone Hill is a marvellous chalk grassland with at least three species of orchid (heath spotted, pyramid and fragrant) and Chiltern gentians, carline and stemless thistle, rockrose, marjoram, scabious and much else.
It is framed by magnificent beech and ash trees. It would be disastrous if the ashes were to be hit by Chalara fraxinea (ash die-back); they provide a luscious habitat for countless species of birds and invertebrates, and their distinctive shapes are a landmark.
The hillside and adjoining woods have been designated as a site of special scientific interest (SSSI). The first paragraph of the SSSI citation reads: 'A steep slope of mainly south-westerly aspect, well known for its windmill and spectacular views of the Turville and Hambleden valleys, and containing the largest and finest example of grazed chalk grassland remaining in the southern part of the Buckinghamshire Chilterns. There is an exceptional variety of attractive plants, and the invertebrate fauna includes two rare and declining butterfly species of national importance.' These are Silver-spotted skipper (Hesperia comma) and Adonis blue (Lysandra bellargus).
The hill is rich in wildlife. There are fallow deer, foxes and rabbits. At night, and even in daylight, there are badgers. In summer there are glow worms (see blog passim). This April, I saw a barn owl hunting the hill in the early evening. The gorse bushes and brambles house wrens, robins, dunnocks, blackbirds and whitethroat. Yellowhammers sing from the tops of the scattered hawthorn bushes. Here on the hill you can enjoy 'all the live murmur of a summer's day.'

So, with all the news lately, I've been trying not to sink into despair.
Join me for a fluffy respite and please tell me all of your skin care loves, lusts, and success/horror stories! Below is what's been working wonders for me. Sorry for the gigantic pictures.
I've noticed that for the past couple years, my skin, while being relatively blemish free, was looking increasingly haggard and worn, and increasingly sun-spotty. (You really don't realize what youthful bounce and plumpness your skin has until its gone -_-)
I am delighted to report that my skin has not looked this good since...a couple years ago! And my entire regiment is really simple and basically ALL Trader Joes!
To clean: Trader Joe's Face Wash with Tea Tree Oil
To tone: TJ'S Rose Water Facial Toner (Thanks to the GT-er who recommended this AMAZING product! Also doubles as THE BEST setting spray and speedy pimple-shrinker/vanisher)
TJ's Antioxidant Facial Serum (of which I was skeptical, but I think it really has contributed to livening up my skin):
Moisturizer: Neutrogena Hydro Boost. Love this stuff!
I use a Biore sunscreen. Oh! And TWO things that have finally transformed by perpetually cracked, peeling, lips. No matter how much water I drink, my lips were in WRETCHED shape. Just...awful. So, believe the hype about the Laniege Sleeping Lip Mask! Believe it! It's $20 bucks at Sephore, but $16 on amazon. It really fucking works.
What also works, despite the vaseline-y feel, is something called Lipsmart. It has a hefty $30 price tag, and is something you can get a sample of at Planet Beauty. According to the Planet Beauty lady, it was developed to help people who are going through chemo. I was very surprised to see how much fuller my pout looked too! If your lips are as chronically terrible as mine, I think it's worth it. For now, my huge sample is serving me well, and with the lip sleeping mask, I don't need to run out and buy it now.
Oh! And I got this for my birthday and I lava it! I enjoy masks, but sometimes it's hard to see a discernible difference. I tried a sample first, and was legitimately impressed. The Philip Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Mask delivers!
I'm excited; I've also ordered a few things by Klairs from Wishtrend and a couple things from the Ordinary. I will test those things out and report back.

Tea 29: Cactus-Fig Green Tea, a cafe, Tartu.
So, a belated post once more. Had a night out last night, which seems to be becoming a theme with the day before I leave a place, and I'm quite enjoying that.
Yesterday I met up with Emily, another couch surfer who is currently taking a similar route to me, though with a one or two day time difference. I met her first at a meal and couch surfing event in Tallinn, and then said I would give her a little guided tour of Tartu, because, after two days here, I'm pretty much an expert…(of the town centre anyway). We met in the town square at mid-day then went to Tartu's main church to have a look around and because Emily had heard there was some music being played there. It turned out to be a short organ rehearsal / recital. The church is quite interesting, mostly for it's sparseness. It's gone through a lot in it's time. Left to go to rack and ruin, burning down, all the usual. It has only really recently been restored, and it looks as though they still have work to do. I think it is the 2000 or so terracotta heads and sculptures that are getting the most attention. They have all been hand sculpted and fired. Many of the figures are unknown, and are thought to be representations of the residents of Tartu at the time of the church's building.
After that we went back to the apartment where Emily dropped her stuff and then we sat for a while to warm up and have a cup of tea. Then it was back into town. We went around the newer end of town for a while, visiting various food markets that we had hoped would be vibrant and colourful and exciting, but they are all pretty simple and normal. Local markets for local people! By the time we had done that it was about 2pm and I was getting hungry, so we went back into the old town and visited a simple, inexpensive cafe for soup, and then tea and some chocolate…. of course. The tea was another variety of Cactus tea, this time Cactus-Fig Green Tea. It was nicer than the last Cactus tea I tried, a bit more delicate and smooth.
After a while chatting and sitting about, a bit of people watching too, we went for a walk. I finally managed to find the sacrificial stone and we wandered mostly around bits I've seen in the past few days. One new thing was the Handicrafts guild building, basically a building with studios for glass making, pottery, hat making, dolls. All sorts of little things. In the summer time this place is much more vibrant I am told, with street stalls and activities in the pretty courtyard at the rear of the building. After cooling down considerably yet again, we went to Werner cafe, my second visit. We sat there for a couple of hours until around 6 when we were meant to meet up with a couple of other people active in the couch surfing community here. Unfortunately they were both running a little late, so we decided to go BACK to Werner cafe once again and wait for them there, and also to buy some food. I went for a lovely seafood ristotto, just the right size portion and a good mix of seafoods. Tasty. When the two others had arrived we sat a chatted for a while, before moving on to a bar. I don't know the name of the place, but it was a shot bar, and we arrived in time for the happy hour, 25% off all shots. So we got a few different cocktail mixed shots and the night began. After happy hour was over we moved on to another bar, Möku. This is the smallest bar in Tartu, down in a small basement space, it had a good atmosphere and some nice beers on sale. I went for a good Estonian Chocolate Porter. It was very good, though not to the liking of the others it seemed. After that we then headed to THE bar in Tartu, according to one of our group. This seems to be the sort of student bar, with various deals on beers and, usually a pretty buzzing atmosphere. Unfortunately this was a Tuesday night, in the winter, and still before midnight. But it was a good laugh none-the-less and we sat over one last beer chatting and laughing until we all decided that it was getting late, more travel for me today, work for one and Uni for the other. It was a good night though, and good to meet some more new people.

Tea 28: Milky Chai, Werner Cafe, Tartu.
Exactly one month of traveling! If we count it in days, not by the day of the month. Celebration time! Chai tea, and Mojito Cake! Woo!
The temperature let up ever so slightly today, at least the inside of my nose didn't freeze, my beard still did, but I am definitely counting my small blessings! I left the apartment around 11 and headed in the same sort of direction I had gone yesterday, but this time I went under the Angel's Bridge and to the Devil's Bridge! I do not know why this one is called the Devil's Bridge, if there is any one reason it could be that it is darker and not painted in a pretty colour like the Angel's Bridge, but I think it looks better, for that fact, and also just it's construction seems more attractive, a bit more curvaceous if you like! I went up onto the bridge then around the back of what seem to be a few more university buildings, round to the Cathedral. I explored the ruined parts a little bit, I think some days you may be able to climb up into the rafters but the gate was shut today, probably because it's a Monday. Pretty much everything touristy is shut on Mondays and Tuesdays in Estonia, especially during the winter months. I then went to look for the old sacrificial stone that was used during Estonia's Pagan past, but is now used by student to burn class notes at the end of their exams. I didn't actually find the stone, but I think that that may be due to the snow covering it up. I did find 'Kissing Hill', which is directly next to the stone, a small circular platform where Grooms traditionally carry their newlywed Brides. Basically hard to miss, though how many grooms make it up the hill with their brides in hand is anyone's guess!
After that I made my way back into the town centre. I wandered through the little cobbled street until I made it back to the river bank, and from there I headed West, just in order to stay in the sunshine and soak up some of it's lovely rays, vitamin D myself up… The road follows the river for a long long way, so I turned off after a while and wandered through a little area of pretty wooden, multicoloured houses, guard dogs barking at cars as they crunched their way up the ice ladden streets. I wandered like this for a while until the cold began to bite at my fingers, in two pairs of gloves, and in my pockets. I took this as a sign to seek warmth, so I wandered back along the river into the city centre, stopping to take in various sculptures and monuments, the monument to Estonian and Armenia friendship, the Tartu Statue of Liberty, and various other stone and bronze creations. I wasn't feeling hungry or thirsty just yet so I wandered into a shopping mall to warm up, to browse through the shops, trying in vain to find some of those re-usable hand warmers to stuff into my gloves. I then decided that now was the time to seek out tea, and cake.
I headed back towards the town square and found my way to Werner Cafe, a popular place with an innumerable variety of cakes, and various teas. Today I went a little bit off topic with a milky chai tea. Not really what I would normally choose, as classic cafe Chai is never up to much compared to proper stuff, but I fancied something milky, and not so sweet as hot chocolate, or as intense as coffee. It was as good as they ever are in cafes. I chose a Mojito Cake, which was tasty, with a 'Paradise Apple' on the top and some chocolate flakes for good measure. It had a slightly odd texture, and could have had a stronger flavour, but was otherwise good.
After a good rest and warm up in the cafe, listening in to other English speaking conversations, I left and went up the hill behind the Pirogov monument to the old observatory. The views from up there are pretty good, though probably mostly obscured by trees in the Summer, the Winter has some lovely views. The sun had begun to set and the shadows were long and thin, the light yellow and soft. I took some photos, more sculptures, a good view down onto the town square with people occasionally milling about, a few more sculptures. Then down into town, more Easterly this time, towards the bus station, an open air market, that was closed by the time I got there, but looks as though it may be open most of the time. Then onto the river across another bridge, a few more shots of the setting sun, the great red and white chimney and the interesting and quite good looking 'Snail Tower' (an apartment building), then into a few shops and back home.

Tea 27: Grenadine Tea, Cafe Truffe, Tartu
Today was my first official day in Tartu. After a great breakfast of way too many delicious pancakes with ice-cream, nutella, and homemade apple jam, and a long time trying to prepare my mind to venture out into the cold, my host and I went for it and headed for town. She lives just a short walk away from the 'city centre', or the town square. The sun was shining down, but I now know to associate this ominously with the cold, as it means a clear sky, and a clear sky in winter means COLD! Today, initially, felt a bit warmer than yesterday, but after a few minutes walking the inside of my nose began to freeze and I soon came to the conclusion it had all been an illusion. And, yes, your nose freezing is reasonably painful. We escaped into a shopping mall, where we both went simply to warm up a little, and also for me to buy myself some more toothpaste.
That task achieved we headed back out. We walked around, through a little park area, with the most bizarre, and I must say slightly worrying sculpture by artist Ülo Õuna, called 'Father and Son'. It is kind of bizarre, reading more about it reveals its, fairly obvious intentions, but still, it is a little strange. We continued onwards, past the pretty, pastel coloured buildings, some of which are really old, including the university building, which was built around 1804. But the university itself was established in 1632, making Tartu University one of the oldest in Northern Europe. We went up Toome hill, towards the observatory, beneath 'Angels Bridge' (Inglisild), and then up and across the bridge, getting some nice views out across the city. We then circled around the little bit of parkland, outside the old Hospital, past an ancient looking church that is made up of various functioning and ruined parts. The great exposed red-brick built arches reaching high up over our heads, the sun shining and turning them an even richer shade of red. We walked back around and down into the centre again and I got a few ideas of little cafes to pop into. The city is pretty sleepy feeling, whether this is because of the weather, the winter or just because of the fact that today is a Sunday I do not know. Tomorrow should help me find out.
We then decided it was far too cold again, and headed to Heli's (my host) favourite cafe, Cafe Truffe, right on the main square. This is a nice contemporary cafe, with loads of cushions and a lovely menu, though their cheesey ambient jazz music selection was questionable. I ordered a lovely sweet and sour Grenadine Tea, lemony, bright pink and a good hit of all things citrus. Heli went for a Cinnamon Coffee that looked pretty good. We also both ordered soup, Heli a Creamy Cheese Soup, whilst I had a Vietnamese Style cream soup with mushrooms, shrimp and fish. It was very tasty, the mushrooms are flavoursome and dense, whilst the spices were perfect, and the first proper bit of spice I have had for a while. They don't tend to do spicy in Estonia, or Helsinki really.
After a nice long time chatting and getting fed and warm we left and more or less immediately went into the Tartu Art Museum. This is in a small building that seems to be contending with the Leaning Tower of Pisa for worlds most falling over building. The work on show was of good quality, much like the work in KUMU, kind of chronologically, but from the 60's to 2010. There is a lot of interesting and rather amusing stuff in there. It seems as though they must be having a constant battle with the building and gravity, the leaning of the building making some of the works hang one way and on the other side they hang the other. On the ground floor is a solo retrospective show of work by Enn Tegova, some of the paintings here must have been in storage or the dark for a long time, as the colours are still so rich they could have been painted yesterday. Some have even been victim to a little bit of warping too, which is kind of a shame, but also quite nice that they are still being shown. They kind of fit with the involuntary theme of the tilting building.
The sun had begun to set, the nearly full moon was shining brightly in the gently darkening blue sky and we headed home, my nose freezing once more.

Tea 26: Õuna-Ingveri Plahvatus, Heli's Apartment, Tartu.
Today I travelled to Tartu, in South-East Estonia. I woke up, packed up, said my goodbyes to Ingrid and made for the bus station. The bus I took left at 1pm and cost me the princely sum of 5 Euros! On a Saturday people aged 26 or under can travel for half price! That was a hugely pleasant surprise! The coach took 2 and a half hours, in which time I managed to catch up on a little sleep missed the night before and to see a bit more of the Estonian countryside. The country is pretty flat for the most part, with a few huge lakes, currently covered in snow and a little hard to differentiate from the fields. But the scenery is beautiful, which chunks of old, fir tree woodland, covered in snow, making the fronds and branches droop under the weight.
I arrived in Tartu at 3:30pm, and was met at the bus station by Heli, my new couch surfing host. We went straight from there to her apartment, kind of in the north of the city. My beard froze more or less instantly in the cold -21'C air! I was introduced to her family, and a brief introduction to the cat. Then started to make myself at home, chatting all things travel, to art, to card games and liquor. Some lovely Mandarino Italian liquor Heli brought back with her from a recent trip to Italy, and then a great Lasagne cooked by her sister Evelyn. It was very good, the perfect food for a cold day and an empty stomach. We sat a chatted for a while after, played a few card games and I am now sitting in front of the fire drinking a cup of the above-mentioned tea, before I head to bed / couch. The tea is a fruit tea, with all sorts of lovely chunks of orange, apple, and ginger. The name actually just means apple-ginger explosion! It is lovely, not strictly tea, but good none-the-less!
Below is a picture of the fire and a couple more from my time in Tallinn.

I would like to take just a minute to welcome a new reader to the site. But since I have never done so before, I feel a bit guilty about singling her out for welcome.
Let me welcome all of you who follow this blog if I never have before.
I know it must be a bit frustrating at times what with my long absences etc.
Or perhaps you read this blog to punish yourself for some heinous misdeed and found it a relief.
Either way; welcome or welcome back.
It seems I am settled down and able to write again and I hope that is a good thing.
Not that it really matters much; because; you know; I can't stop myself.

The "Romney Traveling Comedy and Patent Medicine Show" continues to amuse and amaze.
"Where's Mitt's money?"
Is it here?
Is it there?

It's in a Cayman Investment Fund.
Way out in the Ocean
Away from our shore
And "Poof!" no Mitt Romney taxes 'no more
No pay for the troops; no help for our poor
Mitt Romney took the cash and skipped out the door.
Mitt, Mitt; your like a blogger's wet dream.
And now introducing "The Mitt Romney Doll"
It walks; it talks; it flips; it flops.
It sounds like the real Mitt
It looks like the real Mitt
It lies like the real Mitt; but best of all:
It believes it's own lies like the real Mitt.
Well I suppose it's time to end this "Kick-a-Mitt" and just say thanks for your readership and your support

Notice that, because the verb "are" is weak, we pronounce it as /ə/. Plenty of stress on "Earth", as the phrase "on Earth" is used for emphasis.
The phrase means "I can't find my gloves", which is normal this time of year, as it's just started getting chilly (cold) and I haven't used my gloves since last winter.

60th wedding anniversary - 52 cards week 52
The final prompt for the 52 cards challenge is to use any prompt, or any card made this year, as inspiration for a new card. Since it's my in-laws' 60th (Diamond) wedding anniversary, I decided on the 'numbers' prompt, though I can't remember which week that was originally from!
I had already prepped a base card, with matted and layered papers from a 6" paper pad. Then I built up layers - the dark green base is a Joy Crafts die, the scalloped circle is done with a Woodware punch which was then run through the Bigshot in a flowery embossing folder. The twirly heart is a Cheery Lynn die and the butterfly flourish is yet another die, this time from Joanna Sheen.
I added some flowers with pearl centres, a star which was part of a Hobby House pearl flourish and a row of diamonds interrupted by the number 60. Also managed to sneak yet more diamonds in, on the butterflies :-)
The sentiment is from Stampingallday, stamped onto a die-cut banner from Dienamics.
I am very pleased with this card and they loved it. However it was outshone by the other item we arranged for them to receive........ a telegram from the Queen. Her Majesty now has pride of place on the mantelpiece!
See the entry on the Buckingham Palace website for details of how to apply - there are various anniversaries for which this can be done.

This week I'm going to try something different. I hope you'll appreciate it. If you do or don't, please send me some feedback or leave a comment below!
Trying Something Different: Consistency!
For a few years now I've been thinking a lot about the tech lead role. I've been publishing stuff here and there a haphazard way on various channels such as the Tech Lead Coaching Network Twitter account, Medium, my personal blog, LinkedIn, through podcasts on the Tech Lead Coaching Network, and I even hit publish on a How To Be A Tech Lead, a free book the weekend before last.
For a while there, when I was at Red Hat, many were articles I wrote in a hotel bar eating a hamburger after long travel days. I think some of the stuff is pretty good and insightful.
But so inconsistent.
And that inconsistency is what I want to solve starting this week. Starting today, I'm going to start sending out content in a (relative compared to the past) organized way and be consistent about posting. Each week I'll pick a general topic and try to stay with it for the week, posting on, primarily, LinkedIn and Twitter, since this seems to be where tech leads are likely to hang out.
Thankfully I can use tools like Buffer to get it all planned out the weekend before!
This Week's Topic: Newbie Tech Leads
This week I'm going to spend some time introducing you to the tech lead role—focused primarily at newbie tech leads. I'm going to be talking about what the role is, whether you should really be getting into it or not, and what you should be focusing on in the early days of your tech leadership.
What is the tech lead role, anyway? There's a lot of confusion in our industry about it. You can read more in my book, but a good way to understand it is the understand WHY managers need tech leads. Fundamentally, they simply cannot manage or lead all the fine grained details that come up, especially if the engineering managers are spread thin across multiple teams. That's where you come in, but we'll explore it in a lot more detail this week.
Should you be a tech lead? There are many good AND bad reasons why managers may come and tap you to be a tech lead. The question you need to ask yourself is whether you take on the role. This week, we'll explore some reasons why you SHOUD NOT but we will also explore some reasons why you SHOULD. Spoiler alert: if the reasons are extrinsic rather than intrinsic, then they're probably the wrong reasons.
What should you do in your early days? We'll give you a some ideas about how to adjust to the new role. Probably the most important thing I can tell you, however, is that in the early days you're leaving behind a lot of the success you had early in the role for an ambiguous, unclear role where you've got a lot to learn. Focus on the process of growing into the role rather than any results, especially in the early days of the role.
It's gonna be a fun week, tech leads! Hope you find it useful. As we go, I'll try to post links to everything that happened here so you can follow along.
A lot of this content is inspired by my new book, How To Be A Tech Lead. It's free on Leanpub!

algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Hi everyone,
I want help from Grasshopper user .. I have file AutoCAD for masterplan I want to add it to Grasshopper.
I don't have file GIS, All I had are file dwg and analysis I did by Photoshop as (Existed Landuse, Heights, Street Width, .. etc).I want to make the relationship between building height (with its ducts openings) and width of streets.
What I know that import Autocad in Rihno but the progress to do in grasshopper, I have not enough information about it (I am not professional Grasshopper user ).
And what to import in Rhino is the outline of masterplan not with the existed building .. This is what I know must be done.
All I want to do is a Conceptual urban planning .. I watched a tutorial for it but I don't succeed in do it.
The link ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9Lfds0n7L4
Thank you,
Sherif El Adawy

Hi Sherif,
If I understood your topic, the youtube video and grasshopper definition sketch correctly, you are looking for urban form generator?
At some specific location (in Alexandria for example) you would like to generate an array of buildings by limiting their shape/disposition/height due to certain criteria: landuse, street width...
I am afraid that in that case Gismo may not be of much help to you, as for now: Gismo generates the current real life 3d buildings and trees, as well as roads but only as lines.
While urban form generator requires creation of proposed (not currently erected) 3d buildings.
Maybe you can use Gismo to generate neighboring buildings around your location. But still that does not create your urban form generator.
If that sketch above is all you need at the moment, then my modest solution would be to post this question to new Grasshopper forum.

136: Adjacent Data
"In the preface to William Gibson's Burning Chrome, Bruce Sterling said science fiction writers are like court jesters, able to speak truths without offense. 'We are Wise Fools who can leap, caper, utter prophecies, and scratch ourselves in public. We can play with Big Ideas because the garish motley of our pulp origins makes us seem harmless.'
"Science fiction is able to make indictments against us palatable. We can choose either to accept them as truths or dismiss them as empty fiction. Star Trek, we know, wasn't saying that hundreds of years in the future we'll see racism as a social flaw. It was saying that it should be recognized as such back then in the '60s. Every comment on the Prime Directive, every mention of how the people of Earth solved their society's problems, were not speculation on what the future might bring but arguments that something was wrong in the present."
Great article! Brings up some interesting points, although I would dispute the idea that Crichton is a sci-fi writer. To me he's just a run-of-the-mill shlock horror writer who happens to write techy stuff. I think calling him a sci-fi author detracts from the genre, because he really doesn't do what the best sci-fi does - he doesn't really point out issues in society. His books aren't anywhere near as relevant as, say M.T. Anderson's Feed, or the movie Gattaca. Basically, Crichton is a writer of 'penny dreadful' books where a monster kills off various characters - a literary version of the slasher flick.
The tags (for italics) are messed up on the first page.
Nice article. Makes me consider what I should write.
Good piece.
If you want to read the bible on Dystopian futures, Olaf Stapledon's 'Last and First Men' is probably the greatest. 2 billion years of humanity evolving, adapting, and dying out. It doesn't even have a main character. Just the species as a whole.
A very nice essay, but I wish the world it reflected was the one we were living in. It seems to me that science-fiction is a genre in trouble; perhaps not as much in TV and movies but definitely in books and games. Fantasy seems to be overwhelming sci-fi in those two venues.
I wonder how much ties in with the sentiments expressed in one of the comments to the "My Own Private Outer Space" article. On a personal level, science doesn't seem very interesting to most people these days. I was 9 when we first walked on the moon, and the space craze gripped myself and my friends like nothing since. It didn't matter that WE weren't going to be astronauts. Just the fact that a deed was being done was exciting. And reading science fiction just felt like peering into the future back then.
These days, sometimes reading science fiction just reminds me of how badly we've lost our way. It tends to promise a future that we'll never actually reach at the pace we're keeping currently. And people are so unconcerned with what progress we do make. The sentiment seems to be "It doesn't impact me directly, so it isn't of any interest." I find it all rather sad.
You have to read 'Feed' by M.T. Anderson. It's as relevant as SF gets.
Fantasy's purpose isn't all that different: replace technology with magic, and aliens with orcs and elves, and you're making the same sort of commentary on present society that science fiction is.
Eh, I don't know that I buy that. Fantasy seems a bit trashier than does sci-fi. Don't get me wrong; there's plenty of science fiction rubbish, and yes, you could argue for Lord of the Rings as an allegory for World War II, but I don't see social commentary on par with Phillip K. Dick and Isaac Asimov in the field of fantasy. Do you have any recommended fantasy reading with something to say about humanity?
The Lions of al-Rassan, by G.G. Kay. It's a fantasy retelling of the Spanish Reconquista, from all sides. The other books in his Sarantium line are good too; people who're people and not cardboard cutouts in armour.
-- Steve

Nobody really knows why women experience night sweats during menopause. However, there are various ways that you can lessen them or even avoid them completely. The best part is that you won't have to do much in order to do so. In fact, all you will have to do is make some easy and quick changes in your lifestyle and you'll see the difference in no time.
Studies show that there are several common things that trigger night sweat episodes in perimenopausal and menopausal women. So, before they even begin, you should try to avoid them by doing certain things close to bedtime.
#2: Rogé Cavaillès Somatoline Slimming Treatment Menopause 150Ml: Rogé Cavaillès Somatoline Slimming Treatment M… http://t.co/gbD5EzW8
— Susan (@Wehealthcare) July 28, 2012
First of all, try to avoid doing anything that could stress out your body or your mind. Although light exercises can be quite helpful before bedtime sometimes, any other strenuous things should be avoided completely. When it comes to food, you should avoid spicy foods, stews, soups and caffeinated foods; and when it comes to drinks, you should avoid caffeinated drinks, alcohol, and hot drinks. Cigarette smoke should be avoided, as well.
Aside from that, it would also be highly recommended not to wear anything uncomfortable or tight to bed. Warm temperatures in baths or showers, and in your home, in general, should be avoided, too.
There are also other basic self-help menopause remedies out there that can help make your night sweats much more manageable, all of which are easy and quick to incorporate into your daily life. They might even be able to reduce your stress levels and help you gain a healthier and happier outlook during this stage of life.
Exercising, for example, is a great way to stay happy during your menopausal stages. Some great exercise choices to stick to during the years ahead would include walking, dancing, cycling and swimming. If you want to, you can also try out acupuncture to reduce your stress levels.
Deep breathing can help greatly when it comes to stress, too. Just practice breathing deeply for fifteen minutes every morning and every night, and you are sure to keep your night sweats at bay. Naturally, it would also be recommended to stay as cool as possible all day. So, use a fan during the day, always wear light clothing layers and keep your bedroom cool when it's time to sleep.
Several supplements and herbs can help you battle your menopausal night sweats, as well. However, several experts seem to think that more research is needed to figure out the risks and benefits of some of the more alternative remedies out there.
Still, soy products, for example, have plant estrogens in them that have the same effects on the female body as actual estrogen has. Therefore, it can easily reduce menopausal symptoms like night sweats in no time.
Black cohosh is also very useful in treating perimenopausal and menopausal night sweats in the short term, while flaxseed can decrease menopausal symptoms overall. This can be found in ground seed, whole seed and oil forms in practically any health food store in today's market.

3 reasons to visit the Broadmoor. 1 reason sports loving husbands will love.
I recently had the awesome opportunity to stay at the Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado for Platform 2014 (more on my experience at that conference here). I promised a post featuring the beautiful features of this location- so here goes: my top 3 reasons to visit the Broadmoor, and 1 particular one sports loving husbands will love.
Photos via. I was there at the end of fall to witness the first snowfall. And it was breathtaking. The property is surrounded by mountains, and situated around a lake- so you get the best of both mountain and water. From a design point of view, it is pretty darn special.
We stayed in the newly renovated section of the hotel and it boasted every luxe detail you would expect in a resort of this caliber: tv in mirror in the bathroom, super plush bedding, bathrobes, luxe soaker tub, beautiful finishes… from an interior design perspective this place was exceptional (and kind of flawless!)
All the food experiences are themed in some way- but not cheesy at all. And the "themes" get translated in every detail- the decor, the napkins, the place settings. Again, from an interior design perspective there were so many delectable details. I dined at a French restaurant with stunning linens and cutlery, an Italian place where we got to watch deer graze out the window (deer!), and a organic food bistro that was my favourite decor wise. Room service was delicious too. Pricing was as to be expected with a resort this luxe ($16 for yogurt and granola!)
When we go to hotels, my husband kind of nerds out on the different newspapers he can get his hands on so he can catch up on sports from a variety of sources. So sports loving husbands might love this detail. This is how the newspaper comes every morning:
Such a lovely detail to hang the newspaper neatly on the door knob! I really hope to bring my family here one day to experience this fabulous location.
For more info on this lovely location visit The Broadmoor.

Insurance companies are in the business of making money – most often by denying personal injury claims.

Lets Block Colours !!!
Posted by Niyati Rai on
When in doubt, wear red!! That's one statement we must swear by. Be it for movies, lunch or dinner nothing looks more pretty. Though we need to stay subtle with red as it is one tricky colour. A bit extra and it would start looking very very bad!!

HAPPY MONDAY. (Because Mondays can be happy too).
Can you believe how close we are to Christmas time?! I just love it- family, food, free time, football, falling asleep whenever, feeling un-stressed… okay that's all the Fs I got. 😀
Today I am telling you all my accomplishments from last week, but I must ask one thing of you. Let's consider "accomplishment" in the broadest of ways. Thanks Meghan, for the link-up!
I went to two Christmas parties this past weekend and managed to make an old outfit a full-on Santa get up.
The first party was with my awesome youth group. Can you find me? I am the adult that fits in with all the teens.
The second party was with my grad school friends. I am so grateful for the girlfriends I've made. Since high school, making girlfriends has kind of been a hard thing for me, but grad school has been different.
I should have taken a picture pre-digging in, but the party food was realllly good. Someone made a beet dip that stole the show for me and I kind of just wanted to eat it with my hands it was so good.
I made the chocolate cake featured in my last post, and boy did it NOT disappoint. The chocolate was so DEEP and rich. I was really proud of myself for making the cake and icing from scratch. It was my first layer cake, so I patted myself on the back a couple of times.
I also made hummus from chickpeas that I cooked from dried. It was my first time not using canned, and while the canned are a good bit easier, I think the dried tasted better. As I was making it, the hummus wasn't getting creamy and I was getting a little nervous, but then I added some hot water and it began to break down beautifully. Phew!
Worth mentioning is this brie I brought along (mostly for myself…)
I also managed to make it to the gym more than once this week. There is no denying that working out has not been on the top of my list lately, but it felt great to get back in there and sweat. I am going to do my best to go more consistently now that school is out. I need the routine I lost!
Also, thank you GOD for this beautiful weather. No need for a White Christmas!
For monies I proctored 25+ hours of exams (completed 2 crossword puzzles and a small amount of studying while doing so). Is there a better (nerdy) feeling than completing a crossword puzzle?
I managed to tag team a healthy dinner with Terry. I asked him what he wanted for dinner and he said "hot dog, french fries, and baked beans." We sophisticated that dinner up a little by using chicken sausages, whole wheat buns, carrots fries, and homemade baked beans.
I SLEPT IN. And it felt SO good. Terry must have gotten the cooking fever, because he got up and made me breakfast while I slumbered. He's the bomb.
I felt stylish with my highly coordinated outfit. The dress is from my stylish friend, so I guess I can't take full credit.
Lastly, I made this amazing double chocolate Greek yogurt banana bread by Amanda. It's my new fav. I made a few modifications- reg. yogurt instead of Greek, baking stevia instead of brown sugar, and only 3 tbsp liquid sweetener. I also found 1/4 cup chocolate chips to be sufficient.
Notice there wasn't much mention of studying… Studying is the hardest thing for me right now. I can't concentrate on it for more than like 5 minutes. As I am in my 2nd year of grad school, I think my brain is fried. I wish I was just given a paper to write. Oh well- it will be over Tuesday!!!
What's something you feel like you've "accomplished" this past week?

What is a Trust?
A Trust is a legal relationship created at the direction of an individual in which one or more persons known as the Trustees hold his assets for the benefit of others. It is usual that the beneficiaries of the Trust will be the children and/or the grandchildren of the person establishing the Trust. The assets within the Trust will usually be property, money or investments.
A person can create a Trust during his lifetime. This is called a Lifetime Trust. He can also create a Trust in his Will which will come into effect upon his death. This is called a Will Trust.
What types of Trusts are there?
The most common trusts which are used in practice are an Interest in Possession Trust or a Discretionary Trust.
An Interest in Possession Trust is where a beneficiary is entitled to the immediate enjoyment of the right in or over the Trust Property. It is normal for the beneficiary to receive an income from the Trust for life in this instance.
A Discretionary Trust exists where the Trustees have the discretion over the distribution of the income and capital assets within the Trust. No beneficiary has the right to require the Trustees to exercise their discretion in his or her favour. This means that a class of beneficiaries exists from which any may be chosen to benefit. It is entirely at the discretion of the Trustees.
Why make a Lifetime Trust?
The reasons for establishing a Lifetime Trust can be different for each person. However, the most common reasons are as follows:
- To save paying Inheritance Tax. A person can place assets into a Trust in order to save paying Inheritance Tax. It is usual in the circumstances to place assets into the Trust that are worth less than the Inheritance Tax Nil Rate Band. This is £325,000 in the present financial year. The assets in the Trust will not form part of his estate if he lives for a period of seven years from establishing the Trust.
- To protect the family assets. A person might have established a successful business. He might consider it appropriate to place the shares in the Company into a Trust. The Trustees of the Trust will be responsible for the control of the shareholding and not say the children of the person creating the Trust. He might consider that they are not responsible enough to have control of the shares in the Company.
- Long term care planning. This is where a person places the assets into a Trust in order to protect them from being taken into account in the financial assessment if they were required to go into a residential home or nursing home at some stage in the future. It is normally a case of looking to protect the family home from being used to fund care fees.
- To place the assets into a Trust but to retain control of them during his or her lifetime. This is where the person making the Trust will remain as one of the Trustees of the trust.
Why make a Trust in a Will?
The most common reasons for establishing a Trust in a Will are as follows:
- To protect family assets. This is particularly relevant in relation to the funding of long term care if the surviving spouse were to go into care. It will ensure that assets within the Trust are not taken into account in any financial assessment of the surviving spouse.
- To control the ultimate destination of the assets owned by the person making the Will. This is particularly relevant if the surviving spouse were to fall out with the children and changes their Will or if they were to remarry.
- To ensure assets are protected if there is a second marriage. A Trust is often the most appropriate structure to use in order for the person to strike a balance between the interests of his spouse and his children from a previous marriage.
- To protect the assets from children who they think are financially irresponsible or whose circumstances are such that it would be inappropriate for them to inherit any assets direct.

Palmetto Primary Politics Perplexes Party Principals
Commentary by Sanford D. Horn
If the Democratic Party of South Carolina truly believes in the American system of fair and open elections, it will stop attempting to sabotage its own senatorial candidate.
Granted, this advice comes from a Republican eager to see Senator Jim DeMint reelected to the body he serves in so well, but, the Democrats ought to remember, the people have spoken. Don't the Democrats claim to be the party of the people?
That an unknown candidate, Alvin Greene, came from virtually nowhere to defeat a four-term state legislator, Vic Rawl, who also served as a judge, is demonstrative of two things. One, that the voters have a distaste for entrenched elected officials and, more importantly, they did not conduct their due diligence in vetting the candidates prior to arriving at the polls on Tuesday, June 8.
The South Carolina Democratic Party, lead by its chairman Carol Fowler, in an effort to wipe the egg from its face, is attempting to blame the Republicans of shenanigans in shanghaiing the primary by crossing party lines and voting for Greene.
is one of a number of states where voters do not register by political party, and thus the primary is deemed open to all registered voters in the South Carolina . Palmetto State
Greene, an unemployed 32-year-old political science graduate of the
, is currently facing felony obscenity charges relating to a claim he showed pornography to a USC student last year. Should Greene be convicted and imprisoned, he ought to lose his place on the general election ballot in November and perhaps replaced with Rawl, who finished behind Greene in the primary. University of South Carolina
At the very least, the party leaders are attempting to convince Greene to withdraw from the race, who would have none of it, already challenging DeMint to a debate in September.
Whether or not there was a concerted GOP effort to corrupt the Democratic primary by placing a candidate with little to no chance of victory in the general election is not the issue. The issue is the legitimacy of open primaries. It's sort of akin to allowing an American League team entry into the National League playoffs in baseball.
Democrat Party primaries should be for Democrats and Republican Party primaries should be for Republicans and the only way to ensure this is require voters to register as a member of one party or another in order to vote in a primary. The
is an open primary state, yet I have never participated in a Democrat Party primary. Commonwealth of Virginia
Open primaries lend themselves to the kind of chicanery the South Carolina Democrats are accusing the Republicans of perpetrating. It is untoward and dirty pool, but having been involved in politics for 30 years, winning at all costs takes on new, more expensive meanings with the cost of campaigns rising to astronomical stratospheric realms. Make no mistake, that does not excuse the kind of behavior that increasingly keeps citizens from participating in choosing their elected officials. Voter turnout seems to wane while voter apathy seems to wax.
At least shake the stink off primaries by closing them and keeping them within the parties as is their intended purpose. Each party selects its nominees to run against the chosen candidates of the other party or parties. For those who prefer to remain independent, their opportunity to vote for their preferred candidate comes in the November general election.
Regardless of open or closed primaries, it is every voter's responsibility to determine the fitness for office of each candidate prior to casting that all important ballot. Those votes are important at every level of government, and not just once every four years when the White House welcomes a new resident. After all, we don't call the president to fix our potholes or lower our property taxes or create a charter school in our neighborhood.
Speaking of schools, do your civics homework and be responsible citizens. Research and vet the candidates. Let your voices be heard.

In my opinion, the short answer is yes.
All the hottest and most talented and respected movie stars: Matthew McConaughey, Kevin Spacey, Idris Elba, Kevin Bacon- are stars on television/network shows.
Shows - Scandal, Mad Men, House of Cards, OITNB, the Walking Dead - are dominating the daily water cooler conversations.
The most successful television shows are becoming pipelines for movie talent. In the meantime, it seems like movies are just there. Taking up space. In the midst of a year where 12 Years a Slave, Dallas Buyers Club, Wolf of Wall Street, Fruitivale Station, Frozen, and others have risen as high grossing, highly acclaimed films, why does it seem like Television is the place to be to seek your media fix?
This is just my opinion, but it's so difficult for me to sit through a 1:30, 2 hour movie, but I can binge watch a show for days at a time. Maybe because at most an episode is 1 hour, and there's different events and storylines occurring in the show medium versus the centralized storylines in movies. Also, I think there's more of a consistent source of good or interesting or fun television shows out there. You have AHS, Scandal, SOA, The Americans, Justified, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, the Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, True Blood (not necessarily good but fun), True Detective, Girls, Sleepy Hollow, Almost Human, The Following, Arrow, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, The Tomorrow People, The New Girl, Brooklyn 99, Dracula, Hannibal, The Blacklist, Chicago Fire, Nashville, Revenge, Greys Anatomy, NCIS (Original and LA), Person of Interest, the Good Wife, Parenthood, Spartacus, Masters of Sex, The Fall, Doctor Who, Luther, Orphan Black and probably other shows I can't remember that are well received or have a wide fan base.
Movies on the other hand, seem to come in a binary: great or bad. For all the movies nominated for Oscars, you have your shitbombs that make you swear off movies for months. A big problem in the movie industry, for me, is how they're marketed. There are some decent to great movies out there, but I'm for damn sure not interested in seeing them.
I don't think I was a big movie person anyway, but with the influx of quality television shows out there, I'm really turned off. Am I the only one who feels like this?

ProSoccerUSA ceases operations for remainder of 2020
During the past two years, Pro Soccer USA grew from a fledgling concept to a thriving source of soccer news with award-winning writers across the United States and Canada. The site continued to evolve and improve while cultivating an audience of intelligent, discerning readers who supported and challenged our mission.
Our goal from the beginning was to become an integral part of every major soccer community in the country. Our team of freelance writers lived and breathed soccer in their cities, and they shared that love in every word they wrote. Pro Soccer USA also launched successful youth tournaments in Central and South Florida that further encouraged the sense of community consistently surrounding the world's game.
Unfortunately, the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic that caused soccer leagues around the globe, including Major League Soccer and the National Women's Soccer League, to shut down for months is now forcing Pro Soccer USA to take a step back for the remainder of 2020.
While the brand will remain part of the Orlando Sentinel and Tribune Publishing family with the hope of a full relaunch in 2021, traditional operations will cease June 1.
Pro Soccer USA will remain committed to covering and championing soccer in North America to the best of its ability during this time, and all content produced will be published on OrlandoSentinel.com/soccer.
We have truly enjoyed this journey and want to thank the family of talented writers and editors who made it all possible, as well as you, the reader, for trusting and embracing us throughout our start-up days.
We hope this isn't goodbye, but a brief "See you later," until we can celebrate together in the New Year.

How to put together a first aid kit outdoors
Wilderness personal medical kits
How do you put a first aid kit together for the outdoors? Or a bushcraft first aid kit? Are first aid kits for mountain biking different to ones for kayaking?
Carrying a first aid kit in your rucksack or in your personal kit is pretty difficult to argue against. The problem is – how much do you carry, and what exactly do you carry? Once you start going down the road of visualising every possible emergency medical scenario and wanting to 'be prepared' for it. Before long you end up carrying several kilograms of equipment that in all likelihood you will never use – but you somehow feel that you need to.
The reality is actually a lot simpler. There are two important points to remember for outdoor emergency first aid:
- Training is the absolute most important thing you can put your time and money into. Knowledge weighs nothing and the most important lifesaving techniques require good personal skills but little to no equipment.
- If you are on your own in the middle of nowhere then the options open to you self-treatment are actually very limited.
With that mildly-sobering thought in mind – how do you put together a first aid kit for the outdoors?
The answer is dependent on several factors:
- The environment you are travelling too/through and specific hazards it may contain
- The length of trip
- Distance/time to evacuation and medical care in case of emergency
- The number of people (and animals) in the party
- The existing medical conditions of those in the party
- The training and skill level of those in the party
- The activities you are performing
- Your carrying capacity (rucksack, canoe, vehicle, porters etc)
For example – the medical kit for a 5-week sailing voyage to the Lofoten islands would be different to that of a solo lightweight backpacker on a 3-day summer trip in the Cairngorms. For the former a Bag Valve Mask (BVM) and full suture kit would be appropriate but would a little ridiculous for the solo hiker.
I have used various medical kits in my work over the years. In my time in a Mountain Rescue team I carried a small personal first aid kit that contained a minimal number of items and drugs – but it was designed to be pooled with the other kits carried by fellow rescuers to form a larger and more comprehensive kit. I supplemented this with items purchased myself such as Tuffcut shears and nitrile gloves. When working as a remote-area medic as support on long-distance races and outdoor challenges I was either carrying a very comprehensive kit issued by the company employing me, or I was given a budget to supply my own equipment at my own specification. I have also put together my own for various trips, plus also kits for Original Outdoors staff and freelance contractors to use when working with our own clients. Each case has been slightly different…
The easy answer to "what's the best outdoor first aid kit?" is – they all are. The real skill is choosing or building one that suits where you are going, what you are doing and what you're doing when you get there. To that end I've put together a video on the decision-making process that I go through for any trip or scenario, and the items I carry in one of my personal kits:
First Aid Kit Contents
The list below is based on the items shown in the video, with links to buy them directly from Amazon. Some of the brands or sizes are slightly different or only a few representations of what I carry. The items are not listed in order of importance, just to roughly match the order from the video.
I've also put a link to the Lifesystems first aid kit which is a very similar off-the-shelf kit that I can personally recommend – even if it's used as a base to add other items to.
Nitrile Gloves
Get them in any colour other than red or black – you need to be able to see if blood suddenly appears on them when giving a primary or secondary survey as it will steer you towards a major bleed you may have missed.
Resus Face Shield
An item of personal safety that should be somewhere easy to reach but can also make your CPR technique more effective.
Anti Bacterial Wipes
Great for cleaning up after dealing with a minor wound and preventing your kit contaminating everything it touches.
Alcohol Hand Gel
Be aware that carrying alcohol in your first aid kit may cause issues when travelling to countries where alcohol is banned or severely restricted
Normasol Sachets
Sterile topical solution in sachets for careful application over wider areas.
Sterile Eye Wash Pods
Sterile topical solution in pods for washing foreign bodies from eyes.
Fabric Adhesive Dressing Strip
Adhesive dressing strip on a roll for making custom plasters/band-aids for tricky areas like between fingers.
Temporary adhesive suture strips for wound closure.
Blister Plasters
Being able to treat or manage a blister can make the difference between carrying on or turning around to go home
Non-Adherent Dressings
General use dressings without any adhesive.
Triangular Bandage
I have yet to use one of these as a sling, but they are quite useful for holding other dressings on or wrapping over wide areas.
Wound dressings (Various sizes)
Absorbent wound dressings in various sizes
Travel Mirror
Great for reaching places that the eyeball can't!
Glucose Gel
Glucose gel for hypoglycemic emergencies.
Round-Tip Scissors
Small scissors with rounded ends for safety
TuffCut Shears
Tough shears for emergency clothing removal
For removal of small foreign bodies
Microlance Needles
Tiny sterile needles for making small holes to drain blisters etc
Disposable Thermometer
Of limited use in a first aid environment but helpful for long-term monitoring of a patient
Tick Removal Card
For safe removal of ticks
CAT Tourniquet
Not for general carry and must be trained in use
SAM Splint
Useful but heavy and other items can be improvised to replace it.
Lifesystems Mountain Leader First Aid Kit
A comprehensive and well-designed outdoor first aid kit.

The Democratic Alliance will be assisting the shack dwellers of Chintsa East's Khayelitsha informal settlement to enforce Section 24 of the Constitution to obtain decent toilet facilities in the area.
The deprivation of basic human services is an offence in terms of Section 24 of the Bill of the Constitution, which gives everyone the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health and wellbeing.
These folk have every right to enforce these environmental rights and the DA will assist them by:
1. Engaging with the MECs of Human Settlements and Local Government for funding;
2. Assisting with written representation to the Municipal Managers of Great Kei- and Amathole District municipality;
3. Assist them to petition the Legislature's Portfolio Committee on Housing to attend to their plight.
If necessary this issue will be taken up at higher level as well.
On Tuesday, 21 August, eight portable, bucket-type toilets were delivered because the municipality heard of the DA's visit with the media which was planned for today.
Why is it that a few token toilets can immediately be delivered when a municipality faces the prospect of media embarrassment? This shows that there is capacity to deliver when potential shame looms for a municipality.
Previously this community of between 2 000 and 5 000 people had a mere five toilets to use. This was wholly inadequate and unhygienic for such a large community.
The toilets were removed by the supplier when they were not paid by the municipality.
The insult to this Chintsa community by depriving people of toilet facilities is disgraceful and an affront to their dignity which should never have been allowed to happen.

Hammerer: I understand you have a contract. What's the cost of getting out of it? And what would you save by getting an unlimited plan?
Also, what would it cost to get another line and add another service to what you've got?.
It may be about 200 bucks, I supposed, I don't really remember the figure. If I cancel it I have to pay for the router which is about $100, plus 100 cancelling fee. The ultimate pack red costs $90 per month, including local call and 60GB broadband data. Its much cheaper comparing to Telecom, I have no complaint about it.
I am not going to cancel it. I just make a suggestion here...but seems not welcome ...
