When you are trying to be healthy finding the right foods that fit your meal plan can be challenging. Here are some great suggestions to keep you healthy and help you reach your goal.
If you are looking to lose weight there are several foods that can help you achieving your goal. Along with exercise and a proper diet you can lose 1-2 pounds a week. Choosing healthy foods as a part of your diet will lead you to success.
Each day you should consume 8-10 8 ounce glasses of water a day. Drinking a glass of water before you eat your meal will help you feel fuller while eating. Drinking the amount of water each day will help you keep you gaining any water weight.
Fruits and vegetables
Your diet should consist of five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Adding these into your diet every day will help you feel fuller and lose weight. Fruits and vegetables are easy to put into your diet in a variety of ways: soup, cereal or yogurt. They make wonderful snacks in between each meal and are extremely convenient.
There are several diet bars on the market you can eat as a snack between meals. These are very convenient to carry with you wherever you are to help you be successful. There are a variety of flavors and brands that you can choose from to enjoy: Slim Fast, Full Bars or South Beach Diet Bars. These are filled with nutrients to help you get your necessary vitamins and keep you feeling fuller longer.
Including foods with high fiber is excellent for your diet. Foods high in fiber force you to chew your food longer. This will help you get the feeling of fullness in a timely manner. Foods that are high in fiber are: cereals, nuts, and beans. Adding these foods to your diet will help you on the road to success.
Eggs are a great food. They are easy to cook and high in protein. Eating a diet that is higher in protein helps you feel fuller for a long period of time. When eating eggs take the yolk out to reduce the fat and calories you are consuming. You can add vegetables to egg whites and make yourself healthy omelets.
Shakes or smoothies
Using healthy ingredients to create a healthy shake or smoothie is a great alternative to a full meal. Using fat free yogurt, frozen fruit, wheat germ and water blend until smooth. This will be a delicious replacement meal filled with nutrients.
Lose weight
Adding healthy foods to your diet can help you lose weight. Combine a healthy diet with exercise and you will reach your goal weight before you know it.

Lilly lost her first tooth on the top--literally lost it! She doesn't like to pull her own teeth and will get them super loose, then have Dad pull them. Unfortunately, he tied it with floss and when he made the knot tight to sever the last bit of whatever holding the tooth in, the tooth flew across the room! Oops! That was Friday and when we got to church Sunday, her best friend had lost the same tooth the night before!
Alayna got an award through 4H for being the junior beef showmanship champion for the county. She accepted the award in front of an auditorium of people and also has her name engraved on a plaque that hangs in the county 4H office.
Alayna also got her braces off! :-)
They girls didn't have school for a Wed-Fri in October, so we went on a mini-vacation to get some quality family time that had been lacking with all the busy-ness of the last several weeks. We headed out Thursday morning for drive up to Ashland and around to Superior, where we stayed for the night. We met up with our friends in Duluth for a visit to Enger Park and dinner. Friday morning we woke up early to drive to Ely, MN, in the hopes of seeing a moose. We didn't see one, but we still had a lot of fun driving around, checking out the shops, and playing at the park. When we got back to Duluth, we did some shopping and then went swimming at the hotel. Saturday morning my friend met us at the hotel with coffee for a visit, and we headed home late morning. It was so nice to get some great family time!
The last weekend of October, we finally got our project day in! We re-shingled our roof, put concrete in the barn, replaced my cracked picture window and cut down a tree in the yard that leaned toward the house. It was so great to have everyone here, helping out and volunteering their time. Thank you to everyone!

Ventilators can cost hospitals up to $40,000. Matthew Callaghan, inventor of the OneBreath portable ventilator, realized that if there were a disease that suddenly afflicted many people, like a flu pandemic, we'd run out of available ventilators. He decided to solve that problem. Found at Brightcove via Holy Kaw!

In "Between Mountain and Lake: an Urban Mormon Country," I identify a uniquely Mormon urban tradition that transcends simple village agrarianism. This tradition encompasses the distinctive ways in which Mormons have thought about cities, appropriating popular American urban forms to articulate their faith's central beliefs, tenants, and practices, from street layout to home decorating. But if an urban Mormon experience has as much validity as an agrarian one, how have the two traditions articulated themselves over time? What did the city mean for nineteenth-century Mormons? Did these meanings change in the twentieth-century, particularly following World War II when the nation …

Tempe experienced rapid growth in population and area from 1949 to 1975, stretching its resources thin and changing the character of the city. City boosters encouraged growth through the 1950s to safeguard Tempe's borders against its larger neighbor, Phoenix. New residents moved to Tempe as it grew, expecting suburban amenities that the former agricultural supply town struggled to pay for and provide. After initially balking at taking responsibility for development of a park system, Tempe established a Parks and Recreation Department in 1958 and used parks as a main component in an evolving strategy for responding to rapid suburban growth. …

The 'buzz' is all about Weldon Jack in OKC, a co-ed barber and provisions shop. Named after the owner's grandfather, the 3 (soon to be 6) chair shop carries its own line of products and sells various items to handle everyday life in style. Described by one reviewer as a "cool gift shop for dudes," it is conveniently located between Western Ave. and Midtown shopping. My most recent visit to N.W. 36th and Western was successful in finding the greatest goodies they have to offer. From the antique chairs and decor, to the exclusive provisions, the shop is unequaled. Take a look as I step forward in style at Weldon Jack.
The chairs and shave with a straight edge razor make it feel like a step back in time to quality.
They sell the shave cups for at home. How cool are these?
And they sell their own line of products, taking care of everything in between visits.
Also, they have everyday life covered from backpacks to shoes and shoe care.
My favorite was the masculine candles.
In addition to products, there are gift ideas galore here. I loved the round-shaped flasks.
Where waiting is comfy and shopping is fun, they have it perfected.

You will find thousands of people surviving in the outlying locations whom download septic tanks within their houses. Most people commonly privy to what exactly a septic container really does and what should be done to maintain it in a good way. Septic tanks are of two sorts; concrete septic tanks and synthetic containers. Cement sewage containers have big size and they are carefully installed under the crushed.
Vinyl septic containers were of light weight and these sewage containers are mostly put in in properties whenever there's no space for large tanks. Drainage bins primary task will be accumulate the waste materials that exit from lavatories, restrooms, washing programs, and home. All of the house owners have no idea just how to keep up with the septic container properly. Maintenance is vital for the successful operating.
Sewage tank is to accumulate most of the undesirable waste products, but most of the waste shouldn't be dumped into the sewage tank. Dumping heavy solid waste products can stop the leachfields or drainfields and result in clogging. Every container should have cleaning or working for at least once in a year. Septic container cleansing and pumping schedule varies according to the
amount of people remaining in your home.
Water drainage container holders should not dispose of heavier solid waste materials like rest room paper, report towels, sanitary napkins, tampons, cigarette butts, and pure cotton testicle. You should also eliminate dumping cooking oils and grease. This will damage the whole program and increases the price of repairs. The cost of cleaning and working can become affordable if the container was kept effortlessly.

Spend liquid is supposed to be above the sludge referred to as effluent and all sorts of the some other waste components like petroleum and fat will form a slim layer-on water known as scum. Liquid waste passes down via the leach field or strain area and it's also consumed by the floor. Flushing out the waste h2o happen in line with the tank ability and keeps clean.
There are a few issues with the sewage tank and everyone exactly who possess this technique inside their properties should be aware of it. Difficulties in this method happen if you don't preserve it successfully. Dumping exorbitant good spend can harm your own strain area pipelines which cause clogging or blockages. You should stay away from dumping cotton buds and sanitary napkins. If this happens then your spend liquids will likely not stream to the container. It moves back in the pipes and happens from basins and toilet outlets.
More troubles also happen because of the heavy dumping of natural oils and oil. Should this be carried on, the inlet drainage should be blocked. Natural oils and oil aren't expected to dispose of into the sewage container and so they build big troubles as they are problematic to degrade and additionally they result in scent issues.
There are few agents few people use in septic container washing. Such chemical substances shouldn't be utilized while they harm the bacteria are present when you look at the tank. These germs are particularly helpful in deteriorating the big strong waste materials into smaller particles. Completely prevent adding pesticides, shows, or solvents can spoil the complete program. Try not to dispose of paints along with other solvent wastes to the sewage bin. Dispose them independently or perhaps in a garbage can.

50 Capsules
Idebenone is an analogue of Coenzyme Q10 and is a potent antioxidant. It can protect cell membranes and mitochondria from oxidative damage, in addition to protecting against cerebral ischemia and nerve damage in the central nervous system. It appears to suppress free radicals and continue the vital ATP production in hypoxid (low oxygen) conditions such as heart attack, stroke, or poor circulation. Some interesting research has also been done with Alzheimer's and related issues. With the recent astronomic rise in CoQ10 prices, Idebenone makes a perfect alternative at a reasonable price.

I have now heard back the details of the Lesser Black-backed Gull found at Ewelme Watercress Beds that died after a couple of days wandering around looking sickly. It was ringed as a female chick in Orfordness, Suffolk on July 8 1995. It was caught and released on 8 May 2011 at Europort, Holland. It was, therefore, just under 17 years old when it died. The report also adds that her mate is back on the colony paired with and unringed female. It doesn't actually say but I assume the colony is in Holland.

The ADAPTABLE Trial and Aspirin Dosing in Secondary Prevention for Patients with Coronary Artery Disease.
Journal Article (Review)
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the underlying cause of death in one out of seven deaths in the USA. Aspirin therapy has been proven to decrease mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CAD. Despite a plethora of studies showing the benefit of aspirin in secondary prevention of cardiovascular events, debate remains regarding the optimal dose due to relatively small studies that had disparate results when comparing patients taking different aspirin dosages. More recently, aspirin dosing has been thoroughly studied in the CAD population with concomitant therapy (such as P2Y12 inhibitors); however, patients in these studies were not randomized to aspirin dose. No randomized controlled trial has directly measured aspirin dosages in a population of patients with established coronary artery disease. In 2015, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) developed a network, called PCORnet, that includes patient-powered research networks (PPRN) and clinical data research networks (CDRN). The main objective of PCORnet is to conduct widely generalizable observational studies and clinical trials (including large, pragmatic clinical trials) at a low cost. The first clinical trial, called Aspirin Dosing: A Patient-centric Trial Assessing Benefits and Long-term Effectiveness (ADAPTABLE), will randomly assign 20,000 subjects with established coronary heart disease to either low dose (81 mg) or high dose (325 mg) and should be able to finally answer which dosage of aspirin is best for patients with established cardiovascular disease.

The month of Ramzan, as an annual prospect, signifies as a month of practicing restraint, modesty and patience. For those of us living with ailing grandparents, it's also a poignant interlude of strife and service.
Growing up, Ramzan in my household was marked with a flurry of excitement. There were new mealtimes to prepare for and an updated menu to accommodate food preferences. The older members preferred the stable pakodi-chana fare and my sister and I wanted "something fancy" every other day.
The anticipation of difficulties that a household could face during Ramzan is an essential life skill and my Dadi (paternal grandmother) was quite literally the old hand in this game. For every whiny grumbling that my sister and I had the audacity to make, Dadi had a heroic story of how she braved Ramzan in her day. The stories almost always featured the oppressive summer heat, long journeys made on foot and examinations she always aced! The "Barakat of Ramzan", as she called it, infused her with powers extraordinary to brave it all.

As we approach the end of the season very soon, one has to look back at this point and decide what this season managed to accomplish for the cast and crew of Saturday Night Live. The Chevy era of Season 2 was a fairly solid period while the transition to Bill Murray as a replacement was a little shaky. The show did manage to have a great recovery after that though despite a few bumps in the road. Since then, there has yet to be one castmember that really comes through as Chevy's replacement as the go-to guy. This is because the show was starting to mature. They didn't need one guy to rely on for great comedy because they had people like the Not Ready For Primetime Players that were more than up for the task, despite certain members being underused from time to time.
Anyway, I will discuss that more in the next episode review but right now we come to one hosted by Olive Oyl herself, Ms. Shelley Duvall. You might also know her as Mrs. Torrance, the poor woman who is trying to escape her deranged and cabin fever-stricken husband in The Shining. Just before this episode however, she would have been the star of a little movie called 3 Women and she also had a part in Woody Allen's Annie Hall that came out about a month prior to this episode. Shelley has been known for her very unique features in that her face looks like a mouse. That's not even a particularly negative thing, but it is quite obvious that her look is very different from the average Hollywood actress.
Accompanying Ms. Duvall is Joan Armatrading on the musical end of things. This British singer/songwriter was perhaps best-known for never actually covering anyone else's songs and instead using her own material 100% of the time. Whether that's a good or a bad thing is a moot point, but it makes Ms. Armatrading stand out from the rest as an original. Her biggest hit at the time was definitely the Top 10 hit, "Love & Affection," so there is a pretty good chance she will play it.
The Show:
1. Programming Change (3:46)
Due to the high cost incurred by NBC because of the one-minute Norton/Bobick fight (note: Norton DECIMATED him), the network is forced to re-air the fight before every program starts. Unfortunately for Belushi, this means the Flight of the Bumblebee sketch is cut. Afterwards, the ladies (and the host) argue cattily in the dressing room and even make a crack about Shelley's cartoon mouse face while Belushi yells the opening line on a TV in the background. This was a pretty neat idea and a funny way to make fun of the boxing match. B+
2. Video Vixens (4:07)
Instead of the traditional monologue, Shelley and the girls sing a pop-punk number about dominating television in a sort-of aggressive ballad. There's lots of funny lines here and the whole thing brings the girls together in a solidarity against traditional comedic presences like Helen Hayes, Carol Burnett, etc. This is basically the show's way of saying that they are tired of that old, banal type of comedy and this is now their generation! At least that's what I got out of it. Did I look too much into it? A-
3. Bank Robber Disguises (5:06)
One man in an insect costume (Aykroyd) initiates a nasty bank heist with his associates (Belushi, Morris, & Radner) but all the teller notices (Duvall) is the shoddy job that the gang leader did with his costume, especially when compared to his colleagues. The funny thing is even his partners-in-crime get more concerned about his appearance as well while completely ignoring the job they're doing. The whole thing eventually gets turned into a costume-judging contest as well in a ridiculous, but funny conclusion. A-
4. Joan Armatrading sings "Love & Affection" (4:20)
Joan has an amazing voice, which is the first thing that really sticks out for me here. She also plays a mean guitar and has a knack for writing some absolutely heartbreaking lyrics. This is definitely a very fine performance. A+
5. Continental Men (5:20)
In a classy joint, Ricardo Montalban, Cesar Romero, and Fernando Lamas (Aykroyd, Belushi, & Murray) interrupt a trio of ladies (Duvall, Newman, & Radner) and ask them to help figure out which one of them is which because they are so damn similar. The same joke is repeated several times throughout the sketch about different trios of celebrities that are similar to each other, but it's all for naught. The sketch is somewhat banal, but at least it was kept short. C
6. Weekend Update with Jane Curtin (Part I) (Total: 5:26)
After an amusing phone conversation, Jane discusses a contract that Duane Bobick signed with NBC… seconds before the Norton fight. More Patty Hearst goodness this week as well mostly for the picture they chose to show while Curtin told her joke. The material this week isn't the strongest, but Jane tries her darndest especially with the bit on Watergate conspirators becoming members of the Mickey Mouse Club.
7. Black Educational Conference (1:13)
As footage is shown of the Bobick/Norton fight, Duane himself (writer Tom Davis) voices his opinion on getting more education for blacks for the sole reason being so that they stop beating up on white folks. Another funny piece related to the fight. A-
8. Weekend Update (Part II)
Mr. Fire Extinguisher will take care of those defective Mr. Coffees but no refund, of course! Jane gets around to introducing Emily Litella, but she's nowhere to be found so our newswoman calls her up. The answering machine bit that follows is a clever play on the usual Litella routine. Update was decent this week. B-
9. Viva Las Vegas II (5:36)
While attempting to make a comeback, Elvis Presley (Belushi) does a different type of movie moreso because of the advice from his agent, the Colonel (Murray). The scene being filmed includes some rich sleazeball (Aykroyd) on a date with a pretty little thing (Duvall). Of course, his advances are interrupted by the King playing a busboy but instead of busting a move, he performs a scene from Hamlet. Unlike the "Continental Men" sketch, this didn't pound the same joke into the ground but unfortunately the sketch moved at a slow pace and didn't really seem to go anywhere other than offering the odd juxtaposition of Elvis doing Shakespeare. C+
10. Baba Wawa At Large (4:03)
The woman with the "adowable" speech impediment, Baba Wawa (Radner), returns with her usual egotistical self and this time, she interviews stage actor Richard Burton (Murray) who has an odd speech impediment of his own. Burton mentions his return from rehabilitation and lashes out at the reporters printing out negative stories regarding him and his reputation as a Hollywood partyboy. Of course, the subject switches to Liz Taylor and Burton breaks down so badly that he loses his accent. Well, this was an improvement over the previous sketch. B
11. Film: Brides (2:53)
Spalding Gray narrates a film by Sharon Sacks regarding the innate subtleties of brides and what the true meaning of marriage is. It's hard to explain the contents of the film without giving away a lot of information, but let's just say that the types of weddings that Gray discusses is probably my favourite part of this intelligent short. A
12. Bad Ballet (4:41)
This week, Mr. Pinth-Garnell (Aykroyd) looks at a Soviet ballet that was written by two people who collaborated… by mail. The ballet, entitled "Swan," features some really terrible choreography and a scary image of Garrett Morris in a tutu. This is the one and only time Garnell joins in on the fun too and he performs as a mailman. Duvall was a rather small part of this sketch, but she has still been in almost everything tonight. Another hit for Leonard and his parade of poop. B+
13. Night of the Moonies (6:00)
Echoing the plot of Night of the Living Dead, Sun Myung Moon (Belushi) and his gang of moonies attempt to infiltrate a remote cabin where a number of deprogrammers (Aykroyd & Morris) attempt to convert one moonie (Duvall) back to normal. The whole thing is more clever than outright hilarious, but Aykroyd's transformation into a moonie is the highlight and Duvall makes a convincing moonie as well. B+
14. Joan Armatrading sings "Down To Zero" (3:18)
Still in her Moonies makeup, Duvall introduces Armatrading for another number. This one sounds very different from her first and has a nice twang sound that comes through around the middle of the song. More soulful lyrics and more wonderful singing from our musical guest. A
15. Van Arguments (7:38)
A Miller piece to close the show? I'm down. As a couple (Duvall & Aykroyd) pile food items onto their trays, the argument starts to flow from the wife regarding her husband's knack for caring more about his van than any other thing in his life, including his own spouse. All she really wants is the soundtrack for A Star is Born, but all Aykroyd can talk about is his van and his design ideas for it, thus confirming her accusations. It's more than that though because it all stems from their trodden-down lives that she's looking to change. B+
The goodnights are fairly short this week as the show was running long, so all Shelley has time for is to say that she really enjoyed it before the cast surrounds her with adoration.
Well that was a lot better than expected. While Duvall never really stretched or played any difficult roles, she was a capable host that was willing to roll with the punches despite a couple of below-average sketches where she basically had nothing much to do. Her most impressive showing was probably in the "Night of the Moonies" sketch or the performance during the opening "Video Vixens" number. Duvall is one of those hosts that comes by, does some good enough work, and is probably not invited back afterwards.
Joan Armatrading, on the other hand, was far from above average. She brought a certain powerhouse quality to her performances and much like the McGarrigle Sisters, Armatrading's music was like poetry and was extremely bittersweet and touching. It seems like there was a tradition on the show where if the musical guest was not a major act, they really struggled to make a great impression on their first (and unfortunately, usually only) appearance on the program.
Overall, this was not the classic like the last couple of weeks brought forth for the show, but it was a solid episode with a masterful array of performances by Dan Aykroyd in particular, as he appeared in pretty much everything on this night.
"Baba Wawa makes you feew so good!"
How did Aykroyd read the cue cards in that bug costume? He had oranges almost directly above his eyes.
Hey, Chevy Chase was in the audience!
I bet it wasn't hard for Aykroyd to act so devastated about losing his power tools in the Night of the Moonies sketch. That guy is a total gearhead. In a good way, of course.

Kampong Cham
Things to Do in Kampong Cham
At first glance, there really doesn't seem to be much to do in Kampong Cham. However scratch the surface and there's more than enough to keep you occupied for a couple of days, maybe even longer if you venture further afield into the surrounding countryside. During my visit, I was on the go pretty much constantly which is usual for me when travelling solo. I managed to fit in many of the things to do in Kampong Cham both in the town and within cycling distance of it.
Wander the Riverside and Streets
The French Watch Tower
Set overlooking the Mekong at the far side of the concrete Kizuna Bridge, a 19th Century Colonial French watch-tower stands tall above the jungle below. I took the long walk over the bridge in the hope of climbing the tower in time for the sunset over the Mekong. Once I'd entered the reddy, pink-walled tower and looked up at the green metal staircase I nearly had second thoughts. I hadn't realised the steps were going to be that steep…only a few degrees short of a ladder. Not being a fan of steps and stairs and after a nasty fall down some treacherous beach bungalow steps a couple of months previously, I had to persuade myself to climb them.
Kampong Cham Bamboo Bridge
What first caught my attention about Kampong Cham and made me want to visit was that I'd heard it was home to Kampong Cham (Koh Paen) Bamboo Bridge the longest bamboo bridge in the world. The bridge stretches about 300 metres from the mainland to Koh Paen Island. Constructed entirely from bamboo (plus some twisted wire to hold it together) it's strong enough to take the weight of a small car. The bridge is rebuilt by hand from scratch at the beginning of every dry season (usually around December), then dismantled and stored away just before the wet season in June. This prevents it from being washed away by high waters in the middle of wet season.
It costs $1 USD (£0.80) per person (less for locals) for a return crossing of the bridge, which you can do by foot, bicycle or motorcycle, tuk tuk or small car. I'd rented a bicycle so nervously decided to attempt to cycle across it. People have been known to come off bicycles and motos as they crossed the bridge so I was a little unsure about the whole thing. It required my full concentration to stay upright on the uneven, springy surface, and to not career off the un-railed edge into the depths of the Mekong.
Despite this, it actually turned out to be one of the highlights of my visit to Kampong Cham, slightly scary but exhilarating.
|IMPORTANT: It seems that, that 2016 – 2017 build of the Koh Paen Bridge was last as it was replaced soon after with a permanent concrete version. I'm really happy I got to experience the longest bamboo bridge in the world before that happened.
Koh Paen Island
If you're longing for a relaxing couple of hours, or a morning or afternoon, then a leisurely cycle ride around Koh Paen Island is hard to beat. Linked to the southern reaches of Kampong Cham by the intricate Koh Paen Bamboo Bridge, this island is really a very large village. It consists of many Khmer and Cham households whose main activities are agriculture and fishing.
The best way to explore it is by bike (although you could do it by foot if you give yourself enough time). Cycle through the village, past hidden pagodas and vibrant paddy fields.The locals smile as they go about their daily business and the friendly children will call 'Hello' after you or hi-five you as you cycle past. Most of the roads are concrete and lined with attractive wooden stilt houses, vegetable gardens, and fruit trees. Jackfruit, bananas, pineapple, pomelo, mangoes, coconuts, you name it!
Many of the families set up little stalls outside selling some of their produce. Nearly all the households have some kind of poultry or livestock, so cows, buffaloes, chickens, cats and dogs wander about freely, and an occasional horse and cart passes by.
Wat Nokor Bachey
About 3.5 km outside of Kampong Cham is Wat Nokor Bachey. It's still relatively unknown to tourists and consists of a more modern pagoda built within the walls of an Angkorian temple. Entry is $2 USD (£1.60), but this also covers entry to Phnom Pros, Phnom Srey and Wat Hanchey which is pretty good. The central working pagoda displays beautiful, colourful Buddhist murals, painted pillars, and tiled floors.
If you enter you'll likely find nuns or monks in the shady interior sheltering from the heat of the day. You should also be able to receive a water blessing from one of the monks if you wish. Scattered around the grounds are other Angkorian structures, alongside a more recently built Chinese cemetery and other working pagoda buildings.
Cheung Kok Ecotourism Village
A collaboration with French NGO Amica, this community-based ecotourism project is set in Cheung Kok Village, one of the most attractive Cambodian villages I've seen. Tidy, wooden stilted houses line the streets with pretty, colourfully painted wooden blinds hanging at the glass-less windows. Chickens, cats, dogs, cows and buffaloes wander in and out of the gardens and smiling, cheeky children call after you as you cycle by.
Scattered around the village are signs telling you about, and where to find the various tradesmen (and women). Things like palm sugar producing, silk making, palm weaving, rice cultivating and pig breeding are all carried out by the villagers. I loved the fact that under many of the houses lived a massive pig.
Phnom Pros and Phnom Srey
Translated, Phnom Pros and Phnom Srey means man hill and woman hill. These and their pagodas are located about 8 km outside of Kampong Cham, past Wat Nokor and surrounded by the 'Killing Fields' of Kampong Cham. It's very scenic but knowing the background is always on your mind. Entry to both sites is included in the entry fee for Wat Nokor, and a combination of all three sites make for a nice half day cycle trip or shorter motorcycle trip.
By the time I arrived at the entrance to the two hills I'd already cycled about 24 km on my own little mystery tour around rural Cambodia. Hot, sweaty and exhausted, I walked and wheeled my bike up the slight incline to the light coloured, ornate pagoda (with three tall temples) at the top of the lowest hill – Phnom Pros. The pagoda here is much more attractive than that on Phnom Srey and worth a wander around. At the back there are also a few small local drinks stalls where you can buy a much-needed refreshment. Just be careful to wipe the tops of any cans or bottles well before drinking…my can of coke was filthy!
Phnom Srey faces Phnom Pros and can be reached via taking the road that forks to the right just before Phnom Pros. Phnom Srey is much higher than Phnom Pros (308 steps to the top). The many legends suggest this is because the men and women of the town had a competition to see who could build the highest hill, the women were losing but being more cunning, tricked the men and so, in the end, the women won the competition!
Phnom Srey is pretty shabby and in a state of disrepair in comparison to Phnom Pros. It's also quite a traipse to the top of the steps and in all honesty (especially after my hot bike-ride) I'm not sure it was worth it. There's not much to speak of at the top, except for a small, nondescript temple, and of course the view of the countryside, although that's partially obscured by trees. Again around the foot of the steps are a few local stalls selling snacks and drinks.
In the grounds between the two hills are a new wat, a Chinese cemetery and a garden with a big Bayon-like head. There are several large gold Buddha statues (including a reclining one), and lots of Apsara dancer statues. The place was also completely overrun by monkeys, so watch your food and drinks. One monkey jumped into a tuk-tuk and stole lunch from the only other tourist that there. Another took a fancy to my water and pinched the bottle out of my bicycle basket when my back was turned. It swiftly opened it and downed the water – cheeky monkey! Rabies is also present in SEA, so don't get too close to the monkeys, no matter how cute they look, they can and do bite!
Eat and Drink in Kampong Cham
Nearly all of the eateries in Kampong Cham are situated along the far side of the riverside road, with a great view of the attractive promenade and the River Mekong. The majority were restaurants attached to guesthouses, serving up mostly good, reasonably priced food and drinks. I didn't have time to try them all but my favourites were:
Mekong Crossing – situated on a corner on the riverside road, this restaurant serves a good selection of Khmer, Asian and Western food and they're well known for their homemade crumpets. I ate here twice and had the delicious, flavourful Plea Sach Kor – beef salad, only $3 USD (£2.40), and Yellow Vegetable Khmer Curry, only $2.50 USD (£2). The staff are all exceptionally friendly, and speak very good English and even complimented my (terrible) Khmer…all five words of it.
Lazy Mekong Daze – a great spot for people watching, this restaurant serves Khmer, Thai, French and Italian food, including great thin crust pizzas. I had a vegetable pizza with extra mushrooms which at $7 USD (£5.60) isn't cheap, but if you're craving cheese and mushrooms like I was it's worth it!
Smile – a training restaurant for disadvantaged youngsters, popular with expats, especially for their breakfasts. They have a good selection of dishes and the friendly staff speak good English, however, they were a little slow at serving. I had a very tasty Prawn Tom Yum Soup with rice for $3.80 USD (£3).
There weren't any specific bars that I could see, but any of the guesthouses and restaurants serve drinks. If you fancy something a little more up-market with a view, 'Sky Bar' on the breezy eleventh floor of LBN Asian Hotel overlooks the town and the Mekong River and serve a selection of nice cocktails. Don't forget of course to give the local food stalls near the bamboo bridge a look and maybe taste some local delicacies, such as snails, boiled fertilized chicken embryo, all manner of BBQ'd meats including whole chickens and ducks and of course huge green coconuts.
Hotels in Kampong Cham
I was hosted for a two-night stay with Reasmey Cheanich Hotel, which I've reviewed below along with another couple of suggestions. Read more in our full Product Review Disclosure.Reasmey Cheanich Hotel is a fairly new (three years old) boutique hotel a few streets back from the riverside. From about $15 USD (£12) a night per room I would class this a mid-range hotel (for Cambodia). It's well located (a short distance from the slightly noisier water-front and night market area) and is a well-presented hotel. The reception was clean and bright and myself and the two guests in front of me received a warm welcome from the receptionists, including maps of the area and suggestions on what to do, where to go and best places to eat and drink.
Getting to Kampong Cham
Siem Reap – there are direct buses from Siem Reap, although the correct bus companies and schedules aren't common knowledge. After much searching, a travel agency on a corner off Wat Bo Road helped me. They called around and booked me on a bus leaving at 7 am. It cost around $10 USD (£8) and took about five and a half hours to get to Kampong Cham including a 20-minute food and comfort break.
Alternatively, you could get one of the many buses that run from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, taking about six hours and costing between $8 – $16 USD (£6.50 – £13). You then need to catch a bus or mini-van to Kampong Cham (see below). This is quite a detour though and likely to take the best part of a day. The other option is a private taxi costing significantly more than a bus. If there are several of you to share the cost though it would be a good option as it only takes about three hours.
Phnom Penh – There are several buses running to Kampong Cham from Phnom Penh, they take around three hours and cost about $5 USD (£4). A taxi costs about $40 USD (£32) and takes about two hours or just $50 USD return if you feel like doing it in a long day trip and you may be able to negotiate cheaper than this.
If you're returning to the same place you started you can expect roughly the same transport options and places. Other places you could head after Kampong Cham include Kratie (a four hour, $5 USD (£4) bus journey) and Sen Monorom in Mondulkiri (about a five hour, $10 USD (£8) bus journey).
Other Kampong Cham Activities
Wat Dei Doh – set back from the southern end of the riverside road, opposite the Koh Paen Bamboo Bridge this is a colourful pagoda with Buddha statues and temples scattered all over.
The Wet Market – the light yellow dome in the middle of town is host to a multitude of stalls selling all kinds of freshwater fish and shellfish, including giant snails from the paddy fields, a specialty of the area.
The Night Market – on the corner at the far end of town is a sprawling night market, selling everything from mattresses, to clothes and shoes, to cleaning products, to local food and drinks. It's heaving with locals every night and seems to be the place to be.
Wat Joy T'maw – overlooks the Mekong at the northern end of the riverside road and has colourful wall paintings and intricate patterns and sculptures.
Wat Hancheay – this pagoda is a bit further afield, about 20 km away from Kampong Cham. It's the home to some young monks and it's location atop of a high hill offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
If you get the chance, it's worth spending at least a couple of days in Kampong Cham. Relax, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and slow pace of life, and explore the town and surrounding sites. It's a refreshing change from busy city life and allows you to recharge your batteries in calm picturesque surroundings.

Stephen Stevie Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 - August 27, 1990), born in Dallas, Texas, was an American blues guitarist. His broad appeal made him one of the world's most influential electric blues guitarists. In 2003, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Stevie Ray Vaughan #7 in their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He was the younger brother of Jimmie Vaughan.
Vaughan was born and raised in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. Neither of his parents had any strong musical talent but were avid music fans. They would take Vaughan and his older brother Jimmie to concerts to see Fats Domino, Jimmy Reed, and Bob Wills.
Even though Vaughan initially wanted to play the drums as his primary instrument, he was given a guitar when he was eight years old. Vaughan's brother, Jimmie Vaughan, gave him his first guitar lessons. Vaughan later quoted in Guitar Player Magazine as saying, My brother Jimmie actually was one of the biggest influences on my playing. He really was the reason why I started to play, watching him and seeing what could be done.[citation needed] After his brother showed him a few basic chords, Vaughan taught himself to play. He played entirely by ear and never learned how to read sheet music. By the time he was 13 years old he was playing in clubs where he met many of his blues idols. A few years later he dropped out of Justin F. Kimball High School and moved to Austin to pursue music. Vaughan's talent caught the attention of guitarist Johnny Winter, and blues-club owner Clifford Antone.Read more

Ross, Catherine Sheldrick
Volume 21 Number 2
This useful work in ECW's "Canadian Biography" series provides a remarkably thorough survey, in brief compass, of the life and work of a writer who has gained world recognition as a writer of short fiction.
Alice Munro's own life has been one of her sources as a writer. Ross has drawn on the archives and on her interviews with Alice Munro, members of her family, acquaintances, and colleagues to establish the life and indicate some of its relationships to the stories.
The title indicates Alice Munro's sense of her divided self: the young woman who maintained an ordinary appearance as daughter, student and young mother, and who within kept alive, though suppressed, an existence as a powerfully ambitious artist.
She began writing down poems, and then stories, between the ages of twelve and fifteen, and went on to attempt a novel, an imitation of Wuthering Heights, which had impressed her strongly when she read it at the age of fourteen. Her secret literary life could not have been so absolutely secret, however, since a schoolmate in grade 13 at Wingham High School prophesied that Alice Laidlaw would be an "illustrious author." But for years Alice Munro evidently felt that she lived a life of deception.
Her first collection of stories, Dance of the Happy Shades (1968), brought her a Governor General's Award and presumably brought everything into the open. Certainly, it initiated the series of published collections of stories which have continued up to Friend of My Youth1 (1990), the year in which Alice Munro was awarded the Canada Council Molson Prize for her outstanding contribution to the intellectual and cultural life of the country.
This short but full biography will please, interest and serve the many students drawn to her stories. It should be in every high school library.

Virtual Reality is all the rage right now it. It literally is and it looks to be something which going forward, will continue to feature prominently in the year ahead. Manufacturers like Samsung, HTC and Sony are all heavily invested in their takes on virtual reality hardware, while the growing number of software and content options continues to expand as well. So right now, there has never been a better time to get involved with virtual reality. However, to do so does mean that you need to invest in some sort of hardware. It is needed to make the connection and transition from your smartphone to virtual reality and this is where things can get a little more complicated.
At the moment the market largely consists of two ends of the price spectrum. On the one side you have the 'Cardboard' options and on the other side you have the 'Premium' options. While the various Cardboard options are extremely friendly on the pocket and come typically less than $20 (and sometimes completely free + shipping), they are not the most durable of units. After all, they are made of cardboard. At the other end of the spectrum, there is the Premium end and although these come with an enriched experience, greater immersion and fuller virtual reality environment, they also come with an enriched, greater and fuller price tag too. Fortunately though, if you're in the market for something which is a little more durable, immersive but still friendlier on the pocket, there are options. One of which is the INNORI Virtual Reality Headset.
Design & Hardware
Straight off the bat, this headset is available for under $40 which makes it, comparatively speaking, a very affordable unit and much closer in price to the Cardboard options then the Premium ones. Not to mention, it does offer more premium aspects. The most notable of which is the inclusion of the headset strap. The issue with Cardboard is that you generally do have to hold the unit in place in front of your eyes, which can become quite tiresome. Like the more premium options, the INNORI Virtual Reality Headset makes use of a strap which allows the headset to be worn much more naturally and far more comfortably. Not to mention, the strap is adjustable so that it can be molded to fit different sized heads.
Moving to the main unit and this is largely a plastic affair. Which, when considering the price and the fact that the alternative affordable options are cardboard-based, this is not much of an issue. There is a vent on the front which helps to keep the smartphone running a little cooler and the top comes with switches which allows for adjusting of the pupil and object distances separately.
Moving to the sides of the device and there are a number of additional open slots in place. These result in providing the user with a more direct access to the ports on a smartphone. So for instance, you can plug your headphones in for a more inclusive virtual reality experience. The right hand side offers the same sort of opening so that you can connect your charger directly while using.
The actual viewing compartment is also rather well cushioned with a good degree of padding on offer. This is another aspect which you will not get if opting for the more cardboard-based options and as such, does provide a greater comfort level and usage and especially for prolonged or extended periods. That is, if you can handle virtual reality for prolonged periods.
Overall, and certainly when considering the price, it was felt that the INNORI Virtual Reality Headset was very well designed. There are always going to be compromises on a product like this and for a market like this, however, the INNORI option does seem to be a well-built and thought through headset. The design does mean it is built to adjust to different size smartphones and also different size heads and as such, is a versatile product, compared to the more one-size-fits-all options that you are likely to come across when shopping for a new VR Headset.
Usage & Performance
In terms of size, this one is also built to accommodate a wide range of smartphones. Which is something that cannot be easily said for the more premium and big-name manufacturers, thanks to their approach of making their hardware device specific. In fact, in terms of the compatibility, the INNORI virtual reality headset is able to house any smartphones which falls within the size range of 4.7-inches and 6-inches. Which is essentially most smartphones nowadays. The VR headset comes with a sort of insert tray which you slide out first and then fit your device inside.
The tray itself contains a small latch mechanism that you have to pull back, slot our device inside and then let go of. At which point, the tray snaps into place and clamps on to your device, locking it in the correct position.
In truth, this is not the easiest of tasks and it does seem relatively impossible to insert your smartphone with even the most basic of cases attached. As such, if you do use a case, you will have to remove and insert the phone directly to make use of the VR headset. Not to mention, the width of the area in which the smartphone has to slide in is a little tight. While this presumably does increase its fitting and help to keep the smartphone in a locked and safe place, it is still a little tight and awkward when using.
This aside, the actual virtual reality headset works quite well and during testing did prove to be a very good virtual reality unit and certainly one better than the more basic cardboard options. The alignment between the two images is relatively good and accurate and the the level of ghosting encountered during testing was very minimal. The viewing field on offer ranges from 92 to 98 degrees and as such, you can turn your head fine and still maintain the integrity of the experience. Once the device is in place, you can connect your headphones through one of the open slots and wear as normal. You can also at this point very slightly adjust the viewing angle to offer a more authentic experience.
Wrap Up
If you are someone who is looking to get more involved with virtual reality, but have tried the Cardboard options and found them to be a little too inconvenient then this would certainly be a good middle-ground option to go for. Likewise, if you are undecided on which of the premium options to choose from or do not have one of the devices which is currently supported by the more high-end options, or are someone who just does not want to pay so much to check out the virtual reality experience, then again, this would be a good option to try. It is more comfortable than using Cardboard and although will not offer anywhere near the level or experience of the premium options, for less than $40, it does offer a more convenient way to make use of the current virtual reality content that is becoming increasingly available.

As security forces surrounded his home shortly after a state of emergency had been declared in the Maldives, 80-year-old ex-president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom deftly hit social media to tell the world of his impending arrest.
The government quickly sought to control the flow of information out of the famed Indian Ocean holiday islands following its declaration late Monday night, according to local media outlets and the Committee to Protect Journalists, an international watchdog.
However, Gayoom, opposition politicians and even the Supreme Court gave a blow-by-blow account of the dramatic events via Twitter, Periscope and other social media platforms.
Moments after posting a tweet stating that "a large number" of police had converged on his home, Gayoom calmly delivered a live video message that was aired by an opposition politician on her Periscope account.
"Right now, police are here to arrest me. I remain steadfast in my resolve," Gayoom said in a quiet voice.
"I don't know what charges they have against me. I have not done anything to be arrested. I urge you to remain steadfast in your resolve too," he added.
"We will not give up on the reform work we are doing. I wish all Maldivians success. Remain courageous and I pray Allah almighty to direct us to the right path."
When the Maldives' top judge was arrested on Tuesday, officials from the Supreme Court similarly fought back via social media.
"BREAKING NEWS: THE NATIONAL DEFENSE FORCES OF THE MALDIVES HAVE BROKEN INTO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE MALDIVES," said a post on @judiciarymv, the official account of the country's top court.
After authorities detained Chief Justice Abdulla Saeed and another Supreme Court judge, it was unclear who had control of the account.
"This is to inform that the Supreme Court of the Maldives continues to function under the guidance of the Judicial Council," another tweet on the account said.
– 'Attack' on the press –
Since coming to power in 2013, President Abdulla Yameen has presided over an escalating crackdown on dissent that has battered the image of the nation and left almost all the political opposition jailed.
The Supreme Court's shock decision last week to order the release of political dissidents and quash the conviction of exiled opposition leader Mohamed Nasheed, among others, sparked the crisis.
Gayoom, president for 30 years until the country's first democratic elections in 2008 and Yameen's estranged half brother, was detained after he sided with the opposition.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists released a statement after the state of emergency was declared condemning what it said was a government "attack" on the press.
"Authorities in the Maldives must immediately stop trying to exert control over the media and access to information," Steven Butler, the CPJ's Asia programme coordinator, said in a statement.
"The Maldives should abide by its constitutional commitment to the freedom of speech."
The Maldives Broadcasting Commission warned media outlets last week they could be shut down if they were deemed a threat to national security, according to the CPJ.
Twenty-four-hour news channel RaajjeTV said Tuesday on Twitter it indeed feared such a fate.
"RaajjeTV shutdown… imminent. Will continue to work for the people of the Maldives till the last minute," it tweeted. "We have no security."

The MasterCraft X-80 is simply huge, Boasting features that seem foreign to water-sports boats — like an enclosed head and a full wet bar — this boat is an all-around family fun boat that can tackle open water as well as bigger lakes. There's room for 15, so it excels as a day cruiser, and it's powered by twin engines — again, the only wakeboard boat that can say that — so it's no surprise that the wakes are so big, they're scary. We loved testing the X-80 out mainly because it's just so different than any other boat on the market.
Wet bar
A freshwater sink and optional fridge seems more at home on a center-console cruiser, but is a great unique feature on a wakeboard boat.
Powered by reliable Indmar Vortec engines, and riding on the best performing hull design in the industry, the world is at your beck and call.
Whether you're tackling these wakes at 65 or 75 feet out, prepare for big and prepare for steep. It's kind of hard to compare it to traditional wakes, as it's more of a unique big-water experience all unto itself. Flying between these huge swells is a really crazy experience, one that might be too hard-core for younger riders. It sure is fun though.
Overall: Riding these wakes is exciting, unique and might make you feel like you've shrunk.
Bow rise: 23 degrees during typical acceleration. The X-Pod dash is fairly high and the sheer length of the bow itself is unusually long, so the standard bolster comes in handy.
Tracking: We're not sure how big you'd have to be to pull this thing off its track, but we'd seriously consider hitting up a diet.
Turns: The X-80 is moderately nimble and maneuverable for a boat of this size.
Gs crossing wake at 22 mph: 1.1
The big-water design and solid MasterCraft construction gave it a smooth feel.

[WARNING: This review contains SPOILERS for Black Sails Season 4 Episode 2]
After kicking off its final season with blow after crushing blow dealt to the show's heroes, Black Sails continues its heartbreak in the follow-up chapter. Unfortunately, the idea that it would be the British who inevitably reduce, then defeat the bulk of the pirate forces has been proven to be only part of the story. The scars and hatred of the previous seasons rears its ugly head in the second episode, as Billy Bones and Captain Flint begin the open rivalry that's been boiling since the start, and a figure from Blackbeard's past returns to re-balance the scales. The future of Nassau may hinge on Eleanor Guthrie and Woodes Rogers's wits, but the real question deciding the fate of out heroes may be: what would Charles Vane do?
In "XXX," written by Jonathan E. Steinberg & Dan Shotz and directed by Alik Sakharov, John Silver (Luke Arnold) finds himself a prisoner of Israel Hands (David Wilmot), a forgotten pirate with ties to Nassau's history. While Flint (Toby Schmitz), Billy (Tom Hopper), and Madi (Zethu Dlomo) see their plan for taking back Nassau foiled before it begins, Jack (Toby Schmitz) and Blackbeard (Ray Stevenson) question how to best honor the memory of their dead friend. And as Eleanor (Hannah New) and Woodes (Luke Roberts) hatch their plan to depart Nassau, Max (Jessica Parker Kennedy) sees her footing on the island grow even more uncertain in the shadow of Captain Berringer (Chris Larkin).
"He is Going To Be Relevant To What Happens Next"
It may be Madi's role as an outsider, or simply a sign of what makes her a capable leader that her first look at Billy Bones makes the reality of the pirate resistance in Nassau "painfully obvious." Blessed with the ability to see things as they are, not how she would will or wish them to be (an example both Flint and Silver could learn from), Madi can see that the extent to which the men trust, rely, and perhaps most of all like Billy has afforded him new power. If nothing else, Flint has gained new understanding of his previous assertion that placing an ocean between a king and his subjects lessens their devotion. Billy has fought, bled, and led Nassau against British occupation... and Flint is too focused on what comes next to apply the tact to get them there.
The blame for the doomed assault on the Underhill plantation can't be laid at Flint's feet, however, since this is Billy's plan. A plan that goes horribly awry for the most heartbreaking of reasons: an island full of slave laborers scared to inaction by the threat of reprisals upon their scattered loved ones. Whether it's the loss of authority in Flint's eyes, or simply another case of men new to power struggling to grasp its limits, it's tragic to see Billy begin his spiral out of reason. Having led men for years, Flint knows when a battle must be lost for the war to remain winnable - and with Madi at his side, we know that his stance is the smartest one. Not only because Billy's plan was also Madi's plan, but... well, she's Madi.
Flint's authority remains fearsome to Billy on some level, making his last attempt a plea for his captain(?) to not continue. Whether it's a gesture of subservience, an appeal to humanity, or a warning, there's no question it is hate that compels Billy to open fire on Flint, Madi, and their loyal forces. The act of anger and desperation places Billy alongside the likes of De Groot and Dufresne, having listened to the voice in their heads claiming to be just, yet inevitably leading to more bloodshed in the name of vendetta or, more sympathetic a cause in Billy's case: unwillingness to allow Flint control over their story once more.
And just when it had finally started to make sense. If only Billy knew that the hand destined to be Flint's end was not his own.
In Israel's Hands
"Joseph said to him, "No, father, this one is the firstborn. Place your right hand on his head." And Israel refused, and said: 'I know it, my son, I know it; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; howbeit his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations." - Genesis 48:18-19
The mystery man who happened upon Long John Silver among the dead of the premiere's battle is finally given a name, and a home. Israel Hands will be familiar to the pirate enthusiasts of the audience, both for the historical pirate of the name, and the character in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island to which Black Sails is prologue. Having chained Silver up in his home among The Wrecks, the former second-in-command to Blackbeard made the mistake of leaving his prisoner's mouth open. That's all Silver needs to tilt the odds in his favor (once he regains his senses), relying on his knack for storytelling to make the men around him feel part of a far bigger, far great story. And in this latest yarn, Israel Hands is the hero.
Establishing Hands as a fearsome 'proper pirate' of Nassau's golden age, the plot helps fuel events in Nassau Town and ultimately climaxes in the bond between Silver and Max being permanently broken - or temporarily, since Max simply intended to remove him from the current situation, not sacrifice him to its villains. But the real benefactor of this plot is Silver himself. It's always difficult to know if Silver is believing a word he's uttering, even when spoken with conviction (a credit to Arnold's performance, not an inconsistency). But when arriving at his conclusion that he is no one, and yet someone of great potential and importance, it's possible that John Silver is taking Madi's earlier words to heart.
He's still not at the point of accepting that he is a skilled leader, or even one deserving of men's loyalty. But he states the facts, which are harder to deny: however he may see himself, fortunes have shifted "because I chose it." Fearful men lie awake at night "because I decreed it." And scores of the British army now rot "because I made it so." Silver may have taken issue with Billy's crafting of a legend around him in the premiere, but having come so close to death, it seems Silver is beginning to see the truth that even Billy may be blind to.
Billy made the choice to tell the story, and in so doing create "a new beginning" for Nassau. But when Silver delivers his monologue to Israel Hands, he takes the next step, stating that he is that new beginning manifested. It appears John Silver may have joined the Black Sails Resurrection Club. As Charles Vane was claimed by the Earth, only to be born anew, Billy was swallowed by the sea, and pulled out with a new mission, and Flint was driven to his end by air (or lack of it) in the doldrums, staring down death before being restored. All we need now is fire.
Black & Rack Find Common Ground
The rest of the episode amounts to a collage of memorable, foreboding exchanges and wagers. Will Blackbeard behave as expected and pursue Woodes Rogers from Nassau, allowing Eleanor to buy their future? Will Max be able to survive under Captain Berringer? Will De Groot? Can Anne Bonny become any more wise or self-aware? Yet the star of the episode must be the exchange between Jack Rackham and Edward Teach - an emotionally-fueled duo who now possess such shared awareness of their love for the late Charles Vane, they must henceforth be referred to simply as 'Rackbeard.'
It's a testament to both actors that the scene, in reality an exchange of monologues, is played with only a hint of open emotion yet is among the most sentimental and touching that each has shown, let alone shared. That both men find common ground in not only their desire to avenge Charles Vane's death, but the awareness of what he would truly wish may be the most promising moment of this chapter. So close to the end of Black Sails' story, the alliance of Jack Rackham and Blackbeard may be as effective as any to date... provided the pirate alliance hasn't disintegrated by the time they reach the shore.
Black Sails airs next Sunday, February 12th @9pm ET on Starz.

Great review for the Madame X Tour in Chicago from the Chicago Tribune: Madonna fears no one at The Chicago Theatre in a late-night, cell phone-free clash between old and new ✊🏻💯

Madonna fears no one at the Chicago Theatre in a late-night, cell phone-free clash between old and new
By BRITT JULIOUS
Madonna does what she wants, when she wants, for whatever reason she wants. In fact, the Madonna of today may be more stubborn. Yes, she has amassed a trove of hits from each decade of her career. But the hits matter less to the artist than the intention behind her music.
Known as something of a chameleon, Madonna made a case for the interconnectedness of her total body of work during the first night of the Chicago leg of her intimate, cell phone-free Madame X tour. A small number of older songs were carefully intertwined with a heavy selection of tracks off her latest album, Madame X, to tell the story of this new character. And who is Madame X?
A freedom fighter, for one. Dance is politics. Music is politics. Madonna laid plain the intentions of each Madame X show from the start. On stage was very little in the beginning, just a silhouette of a woman at a typewriter, a large black screen, and a fit young dancer jerking his limbs to the rhythm of each keystroke. Behind him, a 1961 quote by James Baldwin splashed across the screen: Artists are here to disturb the peace. Get the picture? This is not a moment of nostalgia for Madonna. But if youre interested in waking up, in getting uncomfortable, then stick around.
The first half of the set blended a mix of old and new tunes, starting with Dark Ballet from Madame X. Dancers clad in white gowns and riot gear clashed on stage. Behind a brutalist pyramid staircase were projected images of marches for gun control. Clashing of old and new, of right and wrong, of fun and seriousness became a theme throughout the set.
During a slowed-down rendition of Human Nature, her twin daughters, Estere and Stella, joined the singer and her backup dancers on stage. She asked each girl to make a statement, with one saying Hashtag times up! in reference to the social movement. Moments later, Madonna fittingly transitioned into an a-cappella sing-a-long to her smash 90s hit Express Yourself, before asking the audience, This revolution is bloody. Is there a doctor in the house? Sometimes the fight to be heard can be jarring, just as it was on stage.
For Madge, art is the medium by which she fights for the freedom of others. It is the medium delivering the message, whether audiences understand or like it at all. Are you good with me not keeping my baby? she asked the audience halfway through her set after a spirited rendition of Papa Dont Preach. An audience member in the front row expressed his displeasure and she was not afraid to confront him about reproductive rights. It is my choice. Its everybodys choice, she uttered. The room erupted in applause. She fears no one. The easy choice would be to next play something light, but Madonna chose American Life, an oft-forgotten yet underrated single from the aughts. Back then, it was an awkward song, but here, its mashup of genres and conflicted lyrics make sense. It was perfect.
The latter half of the show was packed with guest artists from across the globe as she performed Latin-inspired selections including Medellin and Come Alive from the new album. A group of Cape Verde batuque singers walked through the aisles and joined Madonna on stage for the Madame X cut Batuka. During her numerous chat breaks, Madge talked about her move to Lisbon to become a soccer mom, and the depression and loneliness that soon set in. It was not until she began frequenting fado clubs that she found herself again. It made sense then that the stage was transformed into a colorful recreation of a fado club. Get out of your comfort zone! she cried to the audience. Most people were on board.
The Madame X show is not a concert as much as it is performance art and dance theater. This explains some of 10:30 p.m. start time, to the surprise and consternation of some fans worried about a late night (the show ended around 1:30 a.m.). This was also a cell-phone-free show, where attendees had to secure their phones. The entry process was smooth, but expect a post-show bottleneck.
Storytelling framed the evening. Madge is a shifting and growing human urging her audience to do the same, but shes not afraid to get playful, like when she took a Polaroid selfie of herself and auctioned it off to the audience. The winning bid was $3600, to a man who said he was a writer. Writer? Bull---- artist is more like it, Madonna said, in reference to him having that much cash.
Not everyone is coming to the future because not everyone is learning from the past, she said before playing the Madame X single Future. It was a coded message. Casual fans looking for an intimate dance party should stay away. Madonna chose small theater settings for a reason she is interested in touching and seeing and communicating her message with her audience. Theater breeds emotional risks; the fire of each moment is palpable. Madonna knows this. An arena wont start revolutions, but a musical confrontation a half-foot away will.
This is why I always love her.
Except for Hard Candy. Yuck
I love Hard Candy better then Confessions. *runs and hides*
I love all the praise the tour is getting. The only people to dislike the show are people who havent seen it.
Most fans are very happy with what they see. Those who don't like also don't like MX album, people say it's a Madame X musical rather than a Madonna concert.

Why shouldn't happen? It always have been so. Unique exception were Bat and rit but there are promotional footage
Any has show NY been reported by Billboard Boxscore?
A fantastic Instagram with photos from the tour:
Detox from Ru Paul's Drag Race bought the polaroid last night for $4000

Los Angeles opening night CANCELED. ffs
The curse of opening nights continues, I don't blame Madonna, i blame those responsible for logistics when it comes to stage set up and transporting stage equipment, etc.
Her "knee" will be bothering the next dates:
Oct 27, Oct 28, Nov 17, Nov 24, Nov 25, Dec 2, Dec 10, Dec 21, Dec 22, and some London dates.
You'll see.
