Rightly famous for its fantastic sport, music and nightclubbing, it's a vibrant, historic yet forward-thinking city - but for many of us, the image conjured up when we think of Manchester is still one of soot-covered cotton mills, viewed through sheets of rain. However, in a recent BBC survey, 48% of respondents chose Manchester as the UK's Second City (ahead of Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Liverpool, the European Capital of Culture) and it's an ideal destination for an energetic, unique weekend or short break on the cutting edge of culture and cool. One of the first things to strike you on arrival in Manchester is the amazing mix of stately, Victorian red-brick and breathtakingly futuristic...

Lodging in the Yosemite Valley Lodging in the Yosemite Valley is abundant, yet it's so popular that you often have to book far in advance. Demand for Yosemite's lodging both in the hotels and on the campgrounds is high. If you want to get a foot in the door for the lodges and hotels, be sure to book in advance during heavy tourist times, such as summer, spring, and early fall.

Booking so far in advance isn't quite as necessary, as these are lower traffic times of year. If you visit during these months, there is more...

You cannot wait to check into your room. Someone in town recommended the place, so you figured it was worth checking out by checking in. The first thing you notice is that the clerk at the front desk has a striking resemblance to Mr. Bean. That seems to be no problem until it is obvious that the tavern has lost the key to your room--room number 13. After several minutes, they are able to borrow a set of spare keys from the chambermaid. When you eventually step into your room, it is like stepping into a closet that has bee unopened for years. You turn on the ceiling fan switch, but the fan just creaks a little, and then refuses to budge. As you walk through the room, you hear rodents running behind...

This route is a good alternative to the Marangu route. It is probably the easiest route for the first time climber and not as 'popular' as the heavily criticized Marangu route. This route uses small tents for accommodation on the mountain. Bellow is a typical itinerary - I would recommend taking an extra day to acclimatize making the whole experience more enjoyable and increasing the chances of a successful ascent. Ensure you pre-night climb is in Marangu village and not Moshi Town as Marangu Village is close to the park gate and a much higher altitude so as you sleep your body is already acclimatizing. Day 1: Babylon Lodge: Transfer from Arusha/KIA airport to Babylon Lodge in the heart of...

If anyplace on earth is a natural paradise, Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is that place. Of all Croatia's eight National Parks, Plitvice is the oldest and most visited. It's easy to see why. Bears and wolves lurk in its primeval forest; schools of silvery fish dart through its pristine rivers; its beech trees are a cacophony of chattering birds. The crown jewels are the 16 translucent lakes connected to each other by a breathtaking series of cascades. Dazzling as the Plitvice national park appeared on a recent visit, I couldn't help recalling that this exceptional site was a war zone during the breakup of former Yugoslavia. Located near Croatia's then- disputed border with Bosnia...

There is more than choice between modern Western medicine and alternatives. There are three traditions of healing. The Wise Woman tradition, focusing on integration and nourishment, and insisting on attention to uniqueness and holographic interconnectedness, is another choice: a new way that is also the most ancient healing way known. A way that follows a spiral path, a give-away dance of nourishment, change and self-love. "Trust yourself." Alternative health care practitioners usually think in the Heroic tradition: the way of the savior, a circular path of rules, punishment, and purification. "Trust me." AMA-approved, legal, covered-by-insurance health care practitioners are trained to think in the...

You were listening but the really important point essentially 'snagged' itself cognitively...for digestion later. I was talking to my Father on October 16th, I had not talked to him practically all summer and really...all my life, not like that day. I had not spoke with my Father all summer because I was 'birthing' my book. Did I mention my forthcoming book? It is: 'Notes From the Mothership The Naked Invisibles' due out December 2007. I called my Father to finally check on him after speaking with one of my brothers (I would get updates...
