Breathtaking Lake Kaindy Kaindy Lake (Kaindy means “lots of spruce”) is a 400 metre long lake located in the Tianshan Mountains of Kazakhstan that reaches depths near 30 metres in some areas. Kaindy Lake is about 129 km from the city of Almaty. Why this lake is so unique and popular? This lake is famous for its beautiful colours and dried fir tree stumps sticking out of it attracts many people to enjoy the beauty and mystery of the place. It was created by the result of an enormous limestone landslide, triggered by the 1911 Kebin earthquake. The site is as popular for diving as it is for sight-seeing. Even in the Summer the water temperature is very cold and usually does not rise above 6 degrees causing the great pines to remain on the trees even after over 100 years. Considering the weather conditions, the best time to visit the Lake is late spring to early autumn.

In the overcrowded world of blockbuster releases, “The biggest movie of the year!” is the most clichéd of the promotional chest thump. But what would be “the biggest year for movies”? There’s many a strong contender... How about 1982 with ‘E.T.’ and ‘Blade Runner’? Movie lore has it, however, that 1999 is the year to beat – and for fairly obvious reasons. But what if the best is yet to come? Our crystal ball is practically fit to burst with all the massive movies due for release in two years' time. Here’s a crucial briefing for what could end up being the most important 12 months in movie history… (Credit: Disney)The Avengers 2What to expect: With superhero sequels the answer would usually be 'more of the same', but Joss Whedon is cold on the idea that bigger means better for 'The Avengers 2'.

PS4: 20 Things You Didn't Know Watermelon-Coconut-Lime Popsicles My kids looovvveee popsicles and at some point during the day someone always has a Big Stick or a red-white-and-blue Rocket Pop in hand. While I can be happy with a cherry-pineapple flavored Big Stick, I prefer more of a tropical taste when it comes to popsicles. Last week I was working away at my desk and I literally jumped up to make these. The idea of watermelon, coconut and lime came over me like a wave. Have you made popsicles at home? I think the coconut cream I use in this recipe gives this a more “adult” taste.

I’m imagining enjoying these by a pool somewhere in the Caribbean…..I wish. Three Years Ago: Classic Blueberry Pie

Chocolate Covered Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe Chocolate Covered Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich Brownies and Bars, Chocolate, Dessert, Frozen Desserts, Guest Posts | 66 comments I’m taking some time off to be with my family for a little while. The following recipe is written by Jaime of Sophistimom. Last year, while developing a recipe for homemade Ho-Ho’s, I accidentally made something more like a thin brownie than a cake. When Katie invited me to write this post for today, it was still cold and rainy here in the Rocky Mountains. So I turned to my food magazines for a little help, as I often do. And that became my starting point. Martha’s ice cream bar had only one cookie layer, so I wanted to make it a little different—more like an ice cream sandwich. To make them easier to dip in chocolate, I inserted wooden Dixie cup spoons, and turned them on end to set. What about you? Need another Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe? About the Author:

If you are born under the right star, for example, and have power over the human mind as the moon over the sea, you might order the genocide of 100,000 Kurds and shuffle to the gallows with such arcane recalcitrance as to elicit, from even your harshest detractors, perverse, unspoken deference.

kotaku To anyone who has beat the game I have a question for discussion. SPOILERS FOLLOW SO DONT SCROLL DOWN AND READ THEN BITCH ABOUT IT. Also after viewing it it still shows what I wrote in the small box so yea, don't read below the lines. I don't know how else to space it out. I tried. So towards the end of the game after getting betrayed by Havelock and crew, you find that book after the pub or when you're at the lighthouse, can't remember which right now, and it was talking about how they couldn't control Emily with Corvo around because he loved Jessamine and Emily too much. They didn't come out and say HAY HI DAD but right from the beginning and seeing how affectionate Jessamine and Emily were towards Corvo and every time you ran into Emily you could see how attached she was. Thoughts, opinions?
