NVIDIA today announced that it will return $1 billion this fiscal year to shareholders in the form of stock buybacks and dividend payments, including $100 million in stock being repurchased this quarter. This will bring to $1.2 billion the total capital returned to shareholders since the company announced its quarterly dividend program in November 2012. NVIDIA had previously disclosed the return of $200 million in capital to shareholders since November. This includes $100 million in shares repurchased in its fiscal fourth quarter ended Jan. 27, 2013 and $100 million in dividends paid in the current and previous quarters. The return of a further $1 billion will largely be through a structured stock repurchase program, which includes the $100 million being repurchased in the current quarter. It also includes the company's quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share, which has amounted to about $50 million a quarter. "NVIDIA's strategies are gaining traction in the market and make us confident in our ability to continue generating cash," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive officer of NVIDIA. "We are now broadening our program of giving back cash to our shareholders and plan to return a further $1 billion by the end of this fiscal year." Further details of the plan will be provided next month with the release of NVIDIA's financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 ending April 28, 2013.
Yeah, but G** Da**, if they have the money to do that... I'll be going back to AMD the next iteration.
^^^ Of course they have the money from charging people $300 for a $50 GPU card. You don't really think it cost $200-$800 to produce a video card, do you?
Haha, of course not!! But people are willing to pay a premium for performance are they not?? I was waiting for a dual gpu from AMD to save some money but they delayed the hell out of it. I sold my entire lga775 rig and my dual 6970's to pay for my 690!!!! I like performance! Don't other people on this website?? EDIT: That being said, I will never buy another gpu without voltage control.
GeForce cards have been overpriced for years now. Thats why i'm camping on the red side... I don't have anything against GeForce cards, in fact i wanted the GTX 670, but with a nearly 100 EUR higher price than a HD7950 3GB, makes you wonder what extra do they offer for that. Performance wise, they are pretty much the same. I don't care much for the CUDA and i couldn't care any less for the cheating PhysX marketing thing. So what extra do they offer? Oh yes, nothing. Up yours NVIDIA.
True, true. The shadow of ATi's bad driver development has not gone away since the days of their Rage cards 15 years ago. They've improved considerably but Nvidia has always had the upper hand in drivers.
of course it does. if the profits were that incredible there would be more companies in the mix. the truth is that profit margins for GPU sales are very very low.
Don't forget all costs behind R&D, that's the bigger portion, not the manufacturing cost of the GPU itself. I do hope they up their game, I don't mind the prices since AMD was priced the same and had to lower it because they were beaten, and anyone who bought cards at that time should not regret it now (like me). But right now, there's little reason to choose Nvidia over AMD because the price gap is huge and the performance difference is next to nothing.
Are you kidding? A company that is buying up stock and issuing a dividend usually does so to increase the value of it's stock. Issuing a 1 billion dollar dividend, isn't a bad business strategy.
Anyone else notice that Tegra shipments are down more then 55% from last quater from there investors slides. With only one phone commited to Tegra 4i you better take your cash on hand and pump up your stock value. FY2014 Estimate R&D Expenses = $1,308 Operating Expenses = $1,760 They are getting too bloated... adding +$100-$200 million a year in Opex for the last 4years. This is were the 300million a year from INtel come in handy but they only have 3yrs left before that money dries up. If your willing to listen to the 6 hour long conferance you get the idea that Jen-Hsung Huang is all in on Tegra and everything else is a side operation that will integrade Tegra in the future and will be uniformed into a single chip line-up from HPC to phones. WTF!!! I think that biker jacket hes been wearing for the last 2 years is cutting off his circulation.
Nope. The cross licence of IP will be renewed, because Intel continue to use Nvidia IP -notably in CPU iGP's, and from all accounts, Nvidia use/will use Intel IP in ARM+GPU products (Denver/Boulder and possibly Maxwell). Likely the Intel payout will be a lot smaller, but then, the $1.5bn figure was largely predicated as much on Intel locking Nvidia out of chipsets as the IP licence - which was due to expire in 2010 in any case...and of course, if Intel hadn't settled then the upcoming Sandy Bridge CPUs (which of course contain Nvidia IP) would have had to been paired with a board with no onboard video-out (i.e. the P67) assuming SB could have been sold at all. [Nvidia-Intel settlement] And what's your excuse?
You Correct me if im wrong but I dont think the licence agreement was for integrated graphic rather the violation of n/s-brigde. In the document it says they cant integrate anything up-to codename Sandy Bridge. Nvidia agreed to drop the litigation for the payout that included the cross-licensing IP.
Wow, Google does work. Thanks for the tip Intel Settles With NVIDIA: More Money, Fewer Problems, No x86
Not sure about very very low but sure you have to pay for the other parts like the complex PCB boards and VRM chips as it's not if their Toshiba or Samsung and and make there own stuff. Often enough opening any thing used to mean seeing other companys electronics like Video recorders most used SONY chips for the front displays and toshiba or other parts but it would not have either of their names on the from, that shit costs money..

Obama: We need to take 'meaningful action'
President remembers Sandy Hook victims in weekly address
UPDATED 7:49 AM CST Dec 15, 2012President Barack Obama speaks out about the shooting that rocked Connecticut Friday and calls for "meaningful action" in his weekly address.
Video Transcript--SUPERS --
White House Video
President Barack Obama
(No domestic supers)
On Friday, we learned that more than two dozen people were killed when a gunman opened fire in an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
Most of those who died were just young children with their whole lives ahead of them. And every parent in America has a heart heavy with hurt.
Among the fallen were also teachers - men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams.
So our hearts are broken today. We grieve for the families of those we lost. And we keep in our prayers the parents of those who survived. Because as blessed as they are to have their children home, they know that their child's innocence has been torn away far too early.
As a nation, we have endured far too many of these tragedies in the last few years. An elementary school in Newtown. A shopping mall in Oregon. A house of worship in Wisconsin. A movie theater in Colorado. Countless street corners in places like Chicago and Philadelphia.
Any of these neighborhoods could be our own. So we have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this. Regardless of the politics.
This weekend, Michelle and I are doing what I know every parent is doing - holding our children as close as we can and reminding them how much we love them.
There are families in Connecticut who can't do that today. And they need all of us now. Because while nothing can take the place of a lost child or loved one, all of us can extend a hand to those in need - to remind them that we are there for them; that we are praying for them; and that the love they felt for those they lost endures not just in their own memories, but also in their community, and their country.
Thank you.

Agreed. Even Charmaine Sheh looks better as ZZR. ZZR is my favorite character in HSDS too, damn.
This is the best picture i seen so far of wutang. So far the series looks a whole lot more realistic than HSDS 2003. The costumes, scenery and sets all look fantastic. HSDS 2003 looks like child's play compared to this version.
Gosh I'm almost overwhelmed by the updates- thank you so much Sunnysnow and Tifftiff!
Sunnysnow, I really love the pictures and description behind the use of colors. (And Tifftiff/Ilsunjo, we can rejoice that it is ZWJ/ZM, not ZWJ/ZZR who gets to wear the matching white lovers color with each other! )
Beautifully done - specially the blue of brotherhood is very striking!
And yes, Zhang Meng looks very beautiful and poignant as Zhu-er, not to mention her story is actually quite touching and they are going to give it more emphasis than in prior versions. (Though I did like them having Zhu'er and her father more of a story in the 2000 version, giving her a sort of happy ending.)
The pictures of ZWJ and YBH as kids is very cute- adorable little ones, specially the kid YBH actress!
Also really enjoy ZCS and YSS picts- ZCS really is very dashing and has lovely expressions- looking forward very much to their part of the story.
Ah.. it is going to be a LONG 9 months (or more!) until we get to see the finished product! Urg!

The lady from 1986 version definely looked scarier, too witchy. This new lady looks cooler, it's like she is looking deviliously good . I'm sure that is not even a word in the dictionary
Does anyone notice that Ady has a black mole/freckle at her right ear?
Well, if you want to do color comparision, ZZR was wearing whitish/bluish, while ZWJ wore all blue. Never less, ZM & ZWJ looks cuter together, because Ady doesn't look as old as Liu Jing
Hi Tifftiff and Sunnysnow, hmm... I suspect the look on ZM at the wedding is deliberate- I think Ady's ZM is actually rather hurt or maybe disappointed by ZWJ's decision to marry ZZR, and her eyes showed her sadness over it!
Not a bad idea I think, since Ady does tragic well, and the period leading up to the wedding is one of the tragic parts for ZM.... can't wait to see ZM's interactions with her father too!
DMJ is very nice looking- hope she also does evil/petty convincingly!
So do you think, if ZWJ and ZZR were both wearing blue, it could be the blue of brotherhood?? Okay, okay, I'm pushing it!
On a side note: A second look at the picture of ZWJ and the 4 red-clad brides that Sunnysnow you just posted, makes me think actually that Ady looks very good in that one- she is the least over-dressed/fussy of the four- so comes off elegant and beautiful.
1986's Mi jue was super scary looking- not least because of her ghastly make-up and eternal, mean scrowl! Brrrr...
The only problem I have with the new Mie Jie is she still looks a tad too young, could kind of go with ZCS or so.. and I am not crazy with her outfit.It seems too fussy with the dangling arms.
Yeah I used to have nightmares of 1986 Mi Jue1986's Mi jue was super scary looking- not least because of her ghastly make-up and eternal, mean scrowl! Brrrr...
Yeah the new one looks pretty decent. But have to see her in action to tell if she's good. The Mie Jue in 2003 seemed 'too nice' compared to the other Mie Jue's.The lady from 1986 version definely looked scarier, too witchy. This new lady looks cooler, it's like she is looking deviliously good . I'm sure that is not even a word in the dictionary
really? the 03 one was NICE? wow. then the other ones must have been complete B****ES! lol, wow i didnt know that
i like her costume and hair in this one
and YBH looks super cute in this pic! i love her already
the setting for the wedding scene is also very pretty and grand. im really looking forward to this!
thanks sunny ,
interesting to know the stories of 4 colors
Out of the 4 brides, Ady 's the best
Zhu'e 's eyes are so weird, ek
The '03 one is a sweetie granny compared to the other Mie Jue's Just look at the picture of the 86 one *shivers*really? the 03 one was NICE? wow. then the other ones must have been complete B****ES! lol, wow i didnt know that
I think she looks quite alright age wise and very hot as well
The youngest-looking (and my least favourite) MJ has got to be the one from the 2000 version.
I thought the one from the 2003 version was quite good as well.
He's not playing ZM's father afterall.
On a side note: I just watched the trailer for the latest ROTTK and although she appears only for a few seconds, I think Liu Jing (who acts as Da Qiao in there) looks pretty good in action. In fact, she looks alot prettier in that series as compared to in here.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

New pics from Mt Wuyi
ZM playing a fool with ZWJ
Have no idea what's going on in this pic. ZM learning the 9 Yin White Bone Claws?? And those nails are ridiculous.
ZWJ with ZZR (very beautiful picture)
And ZM fans will be glad to know that she rides the same horse as ZWJ again

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
Wise Fool
Uh Oh. that's a pretty drastic change =\ Maybe ZM would become evil and ZZR ends up with ZWJZM learning the 9 Yin White Bone Claws??
No doubt this Mie Jie is hot.........but I guess I grew up with a nasty old lady as MJ, so seeing this hot one dies.. kind of hurts the heart
btw, lovely scenery.... but i have been burned by ROCH06 before, so I should reserve all judgments for the final production...
but I got to say. Ady seems to be giving ZM a bit of a bubbly personality... hope she doesn't over do it.....
and why the scenes with her nails? Hopefully it is a dream of ZWJ's...... not some prank pulled by ZM
I have a feeling its some comical scene added into the series. Probably a prank pulled by ZM or ZWJ have a nightmare of sorts. But I would think its a prank since ZM is chasing after a laughing ZWJ in the first pic. And ZM must have been quite strong since she's able to play a fool even when she's seriously injured!
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
Wise Fool
Ohh... Sunnysnow, you give us the best pictures- spacibo!
Really do love them all!
Specially the ones with the horses- something so wild and care-free about riding them. (Okay, now I'm envious that ZWJ and ZZR seem to get the most beautiful pictures! )
I like the one with ZWJ being chased by ZM-it's my favorite sort of set-up, when the lead characters can laugh together. Makes their relationship seem so much more light-hearted.... plus DC looks much nicer when he smiles.
I'm also happy that when ZWJ and ZM ride a horse together, it is ZM who is with the reins... it makes sense- she's Mongolian afterall, and isn't good horsemanship part of what made them such successful conquerors?
Is that second last picture one of ZM riding solo? It's a cool shot!
ZM with claws... perhaps that's what ZWJ envisioned happened on Snake Island when he thought it was ZM who killed Zhu-er? Or, do you think this is the part where ZM arranges for a float showing the story of ZZR trying to poison Golden-haired Lion king and she herself takes on the role of ZZR?
(Sorry, I've given up on spoiler tags- hopefully almost everyone is happy about being spoiled or else has already seen at least one version of HSDS!)
Last edited by yanfeng; 02-13-09 at 12:23 AM.
yanfeng - i think it's safe to say that most people have at least seen one version of HSDS here.
Thank god. That would have been a big change But I wouldn't mind seeing ZWJ ending up with ZZR
I just realized that those 3 pics go together. So ZM is probably playing a cute prank mocking ZZR. LOL. I bet that's a pretty funny scene.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Hilo has been a safe community; however, recently, the crime-rate has been going up.
Greek Life There is no Greek Life on campus
Clubs and Activities There are a wide range of activities for everyone. There are service clubs, career/major-oriented clubs (pre-med, sociology, business), dance (hip-hop and swing) and much more.
Great for these types of students This campus specializes in Marine Science, Astronomy, and Geology, due to its resources (island surrounded by ocean, Mauna Kea observatories, and variety of volcanic rock). This is also a great campus for those that love nature. Due to the lack of nightlife, you will want to spend most of your time going to the beach, hiking, etc.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus One odd tradition that the campus has is Oh Hell Week in which the university provides a week's worth of late night activities the week before final. I presume it is an opportunity for those that are on the brink of going crazy to relax a bit before going back to studying.
Bang for the buck From fees, the university provides a lot of perks. There are discount plays, privilege to the new student life center and pool, and access to many student activities.
What to do for fun There is not much of a nightlife in Hilo town. However, the student activities do provide a variety of activities (proms, dances, concerts, etc.) to keep you entertained. There are also many beaches, parks, etc. that you can visit within the area.
Food and Dining The food and dining are excellent. There is a variety of choices, from the salad bar, to the deli, to the grill, and finally the entree and action station. The food is reasonably priced for the amount you get, however the drinks are rather expensive, so I would suggest stocking up at the 7-11 down the street.
Dorm Life This review is with reserve. The current dorm life makes it difficult to get the exact dorm that you want. Based off of my experience, it can get rather loud during quiet hours. However, the university is currently in progress of building more dorms across the street, so that may change.
Academic Rigor In the science department, the rigor of academics is high. As you reach the upper-division classes, the work-load becomes more intensive, most labs becoming writing intensive.
Tips for prospective students Be open to many of the activities that the university has to offer. This will make your college experience thoroughly enjoyable.
In three sentences The University of Hawaii at Hilo is currently in renovation, building up to attract the prospective student. Due to its diversity of student, the university provides the necessary tools for one to graduate as a well-rounded student. The university will continue to grow and become a competitor in the eyes of many future students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Don't get me wrong there are security guards keeping watch, you just have to be careful at night for theft or any crazy-drug addicts waltzing the streets or campus at night. Be street smart, even a small friendly island has some bad people. Also some locals don't care too much for Haoles (foreigners), most of the time associated with very fair-skinned individuals. So stay with a group and watch out on the roads. Some drunk people in their cars tend to aim for Haoles, but don't get me wrong, mostly everyone in Hilo are laid back and friendly.
Greek Life I don't think there is any Greek life here.
Clubs and Activities Nice clubs, I recommend joining as many as you can.
Great for these types of students This school is awesome for geological, pharmaceutical, or environmental enthusiasts.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is two fish ponds above the Campus Center that hardly anyone knows of. Between the dorms and the Student Life Center (gym) there is a bridge with a heavily flowing river when in rains. If you sneak past the bridge there is also a nice little path/dirt road if you want to look closer at the river. There is a really cool Palm-Tree garden full of many species of palms behind the dorms.
Bang for the buck If you are a hard working student then it's worth it. If you are one of those crazy genius/prodigy/smart people, you might get bored.
What to do for fun The gym has this great program called: Outdoor Adventures. That program takes students to different parts of the island every weekend, most of all its FREE. Lots of beaches and hikes to go to, and I recommend going to the National Volcano Park there-you'll love it. There's a pretty nice mall across from Target and Walmart. Also Downtown Hilo is always an up-and-happening place, especially during Wednesdays and Saturdays when the Farmers Market is open. I found so much cool and interesting things at that Farmers Market, even if you're just visiting Hilo, you should also visit there as well. There is a great snorkeling/diving beach called Richardson Beach Park, it's very beautiful and close to the school. If you are a college student in Hilo, bus rides are free as long as you have your student ID. Many historical sites to visit, and many natural-sites to view. There is an astrology center nearby the school called Imiloa Astronomy Center. On Mauna Kea there is also an observatory. Also there are Hoolaulea's (festivals) and the Merry Monarch Festivals to look forward to. :D
Food and Dining I LOVE THE FOOD THERE! The cooks and staff working to prepare your meals really do care about your needs, and there is always a variety, and you can always put in a request for a certain food item you would like to have in the cafeteria. Others sometimes complain about how some food are prepared, but that is why there is a variety and an option to put in a request for later days. Meal Plan at this schools runs with flex points. You might want to look at food off campus as well I know there is a good Korean style, sushi shop, Subway, and if I remember correctly a Thai restaurant down the road.
Dorm Life Well kept Dorms, safe atmosphere,roommates and RA will most likely be friendly. Just watch out for theft. There has been a lot of car-break ins, and Bicycle thefts by the dorms at night. Also time to time you might pass by a dorm that smells heavily of marijuana. Also at night around campus and all around the Big Island the lights are yellow, dimmed, and not very bright, so as to block light pollution from the observatory.
Academic Rigor Depends what degree you are going for. Anything involving the Sciences at this school will have you on your toes. Beside the sciences, it's a cake walk.
Tips for prospective students If you are aiming for a geological, pharmaceutical, or any scientific majors, this school might be right for you. It has a small student ratio, so you have more time to visit professors if you need to discuss anything with them. Just to warn you Hilo is a very small town so make sure you have numerous hobbies/ activities to keep you occupied. Courses are realitively easy, just don't fall behind or skip classes, some professors grade heavy on class attendence. I recommend to check who your professor will be for any of your courses, because some of them can be pretty...bizarre. RateMyProfessor.com is a great site to check up on their information. Normal weather for the week is: rain,rain,rain,cloudy,rain,rain,rain. Sometimes during the dryer part of the season you'll get good sunshine. If you are physically active, the university has an awesome gym and many workout programs. They even have trips up to Mauna Kea every week, and to other parts of the island.
In three sentences This school is moderate to high level difficulty. If you can keep your self occupied and active you won't go insane from the smallness of Hilo. Variety in food, culture, environment, and people. :D

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is relatively safe, despite the occasional rash of vehicle thefts that happen in the parking lots from time to time. There are call boxes situated all throughout the campus that instantly put you in touch with security should an emergency arise.
Clubs and Activities There aren't many clubs, but it's easy to start one up. All you need to do is get in touch with the student affairs office, reserve a room, and you're set.
Great for these types of students If you prefer smaller classes, and professors that are actually sociable, then UHH is definitely for you.
Bang for the buck I'm a resident, so my tuition is pretty cheap. Students coming from other states might find UHH's tuition to be a little steeper than most public institutions, but it's well worth it for the experience.
What to do for fun There's actually a lot you can do. This is Hawaii after all. If you're confined to the dorms, check out the Student Life Center. It's a full feature fitness center that's complete with a pool. All you need is to show a validated student id and you can work out to your heart's content. The Student Life Center also takes people out on excursions around the island. All you need to do is sign up.
Food and Dining Pretty tasty. Food and dining is handled by Sodexo, and they enforce a strict policy of take all you like, eat all you take. Meaning, you can eat as much as you like while in the dining hall, but you aren't allowed to bring any food out with you.
Dorm Life I don't live on campus, so I couldn't really tell you from experience, but my fellow students tell me that dorm life isn't without its ups and downs. In one of the dorms there is issues with the plumbing, so you need to be careful not to overflow the toilets.
Academic Rigor You're expected to work hard. Simple as that.
Tips for prospective students If you're serious about your career choice, then you need to bring your A Game. UHH is a public institution, but that doesn't mean you can just kick back, party into the wee hours of the morning, and expect to get a passing grade from your professors. No, UHH values, above all else, the integrity and hard work of its students.
In three sentences The University of Hawaii at Hilo is a great campus if you aren't into large class sizes. All of my professors take a vested interest in my academic development, providing assistance and encouragement. UHH truly gives you a college experience that you won't find anywhere else, and you won't soon forget.

Bang for the buck Some of my friends who are staying here going to a UC or Cal state are paying as much as i am but aren't getting to travel to paradise!!
What to do for fun What isn't there to do. You can go to the beach one hour and then be hiking the next. There are many restaurants from different nationalities.
Food and Dining Lots of restaurants 15-25 minutes walking distance.
In three sentences Very nice little, university. Clean campus and hard classes. Well worth leaving California in my opinion. :)

Categories Comments Campus Safety Nothing has ever happened to me, but there have been a couple cases of theft.
Clubs and Activities There's a lot of heritage clubs. Exm: Hawaiian and Samoan
Great for these types of students It's great for students who enjoy the outdoors and don't mind or love the rain.
What to do for fun This is an out door place. The life center offers a trip every weekend that includes transportation. It takes us to beaches, hikes, the astronomy center, and just about every nature spot available to the island. Beaches are non-the-less available within bike riding distance (10 minute bike ride).
Food and Dining The cafeteria is actually really good. There is quite a variety. This is where most students eat during lunch.
Dorm Life Everyone is super nice. The only thing that can become difficult is getting around town for groceries if students don't have a car. There is however public transportation, but an additional charge would be applied per extra bag being carried.
Academic Rigor Everyone is pretty much laid back, so as long as close contact is kept with professors, things can generally be worked out. If the expected work is done when required, academics here are smooth sailing.
Tips for prospective students Send all paperwork as soon as possible because the processing of it tends to take longer than necessary.
In three sentences It is a place where everyone is friendly. Professors are always willing to help their students. The athletic programs however, lack support in general.

Clubs and Activities Almost any sport you can think of except football. Wide range of clubs anyone could join.
Great for these types of students People who like to stay at home.
Bang for the buck If you are a Hawaii resident and enrolled full time prices are relatively low.
What to do for fun You go to the pool, the student life center has field trips every week, and you could join a large variety of sports.
Food and Dining Food is batter then the last time I went to redlobster
Dorm Life I did not dorm, but the town has some nice places to stay.
Academic Rigor A Lot of hard work, but it all pays off in the end.
Tips for prospective students Don't fall behind in class work. And always study for the next test.
In three sentences UH Hilo is a very fast paced, education oriented, welcoming institution.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Go to the gym and pool on campus or find a good snorkeling spot or go Honolii surf spot. If you want more action then you would want to make the trip to Kona side.
Food and Dining Love going to the cafe to get lunch and I especially love munchies and going to the student life center to eat a hot dog and drink a smoothie...yum!
Dorm Life Dorm life is very convenient. Food in the dining hall is okay.
Academic Rigor The academics I feel are very well. There are good professors that are very knowledgeable about the classes they are teaching.
Tips for prospective students It's a good school. If you don't care for athletics being the stars of the school, nothing to really do then you would like it here.
In three sentences Very good place to concentrate on your studies. There's not much of a night life nor anything to really do in Hilo except study and homework. The study abroad opportunities are very good!

Categories Comments What to do for fun There is not much to do for fun, just going to the beach, going shopping in various places including the mall, and going to the movies. It will only be fun if you have a lot of friends and family here at Hilo.
Food and Dining The food is very awesome. The servers are customer friendly and they always show the aloha love. The schools serves a variety of food at good price and outside food are somethings that you;ll always crave for.
Dorm Life Dormitory life is fun and very interesting. Diverse people living in the same area. Different things to do with different people. It is very interesting how total different culture come across each other and mingle as if they were relatives.
Academic Rigor The classes here are very accurate and helpful. There are activities that students join in to earn credits for class and learn something new about Hilo. There is a good chances of student passing due to one-on-one interaction with students and professors.
Tips for prospective students It is good to have friends and family out here because there are not much to activities to do. The good thing is that you can focus more on your studies.
In three sentences University of Hawaii at Hilo is a very interesting school with many diversity of people. I chose University of Hawaii at Hilo because of the tuition rate and the weather here. I enjoy being in Hilo and hope to graduate soon and go on to a graduate school.

Categories Comments In three sentences I have a couple questions about UHH. I have been accepted and I'm trying to decide whether to go here or to one of the main land colleges. HHM or UHP. I really am in love with Hilo's programs and goals. I love the small size, hands on learning, the enviornment etc. But I was wondering about the weather and the beaches. I love surfing and swimming and was wondering how far away the beach was? 10 minutes? an hour? Also, I have heard so many different view on the rain here at Hilo. Either its terrible and depressing, or its sunny and it rains at night so its not that bad. So coming from students who go here, could you please help me out! I dont mind rain. If its sunny thats wonderful but I don't like the misty always cloudy and raining type of rain. Any information about these two questions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! =) If you can't reply on here. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks soooo much

Categories Comments Campus Safety You very rarely hear anything about assaults or thefts on the campus, but over the years I've attended, a number of cars have been stolen/vandalized in the past from the campus parking lot. Security has long since improved, and there are now regular patrols made throughout the parking lots.
Clubs and Activities Lots of clubs already in existence, and easy to start a club if you have an idea for one. Also use of the Student Life Center is free to students with a valid student id, and they allow you to sign up for weekend excursions to various parts of the island FOR FREE.
Great for these types of students Students desiring smaller class sizes, a culturally diverse student body, and just a general change from the fast paced hustle and bustle of the mainland.
Bang for the buck Textbooks are a little steeply priced, but that's what Amazon is for. Just be sure you order your textbooks far enough in advance to give them time to ship over to the island. In state tuition is the cheapest I've ever seen, and out of state tuition isn't much worse. Also, UH Hilo offers a number of scholarships, and federal work study positions to students taking at least 6 credits.
What to do for fun There is always something going on on the campus. Whether it's a Board of Media Broadcasting sponsored event, a play or musical put on by the performing arts department, or just a simple fund raiser put on by one of the many clubs, you can always find something fun to do.
Food and Dining The food is subpar at best. My work allows me to participate in the USDA Summer program, but for the most part I don't care for the food offered in the dining halls.
Dorm Life I live off campus so I can't really speak on the subject of dorm life. I can say from a technical perspective, the Internet at the dorms isn't the greatest and it might be a good idea to not count on having fast Internet for last minute assignment submissions late at night.
Academic Rigor Speaking from the perspective of a Computer Science major, Professors aren't afraid to load you down with projects. You will cover a diverse array of topics, and may or may not have multiple midterms for each class throughout the course of a semester. As I've said before, come ready to work and you will be successful.
Tips for prospective students Come relaxed, but ready to work. Procrastination is not your friend as you will find yourself loaded down with projects, and studying for your various exams. Ultimately, UH Hilo is very low stress, but the work load assigned by Professors is on par with any other institution and can break you if you don't learn to manage your time.
In three sentences UH Hilo is great for students desiring smaller class sizes. The campus is rich with culture and offers a diverse range of majors in both the Natural and Social Sciences. Not only that, but most of the faculty is really nice, and more than willing to help students be successful during their time at the University of Hawaii at Hilo and beyond.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Generally safe campus- only a few minor things here and there during the year. Just make sure to lock up your bikes, don't leave dorm room unlocked when you're gone, normal things like that, etc... There are emergency help buttons placed around campus in the case of an emergency, and security is constantly walking around the place. Hilo, the town, in general isn't a big crime place. Just stay smart at night, don't go running out in front of cars, or place yourself in dangerous situations and you'll be fine.
Greek Life None.
Great for these types of students Those who want a different college experience than any other collge in the U.S. You're in one of the most diverse places in the U.S. (you'll meet people from literally all over the world), you'll learn about numerous cultures and backgrounds, have the chance to expand your taste buds beyond what they ever were, and have a great time exploring 11 out of the 13 climate zones in the world- all on this island! I was a rigorous, well-studied student before I came here, and was always stressed and worried about every single grade. I still am a very well-studied student and earn good grades in all classes, but I understand there are bigger and more important things in the world now. Also- it rains alot here over the winter and early spring times- so if you do not like rain at all (meaning, if you can't handle a full week of almost non-stop rain), this might not be the university for you. This university is for students who don't mind having nothing to do on the weekend- yet can also come up with activities to do and know how to have fun on their own.
Bang for the buck As an out-of-state student, I paid quite a bit to come here- much more than it seems in-state students pay. But I think it is definitely worth it because the enviroment is so study-friendly and relaxing, it's difficult for me to become stressed here. I also like to take trips off campus to get away from the study enviroment, which helps too.
What to do for fun There isn't much to do on campus during the week- there isn't too much of a party life on campus. The university provides and adventure/outing group every weekend that goes on various trips around the island to neat spots. The gym/rec/pool center is a nice place to go to during the weekend- for you will always find a lot of people working out or sitting by the pool. There are the occasional parties at the pool too, some parties that happen around campus maybe once to twice a month. Other than that, most of the 'parties' happen off campus at students' homes. You practically live in a tropical rainforest, though, so there are an unlimited amount of things to do around town, outside of town, and around the island. It's a great place to get out and explore nature!
Food and Dining One cafeteria is open during the day for breakfast and lunch- and provides ample choices for any sort of food preference, at a decent price. There are efforts to integrate locally grown foods into the menus, so that decreases the price and makes it healthier. For dinner, the other cafeteria is open (for only a few hours each night, so I suggest going early to get all the good food). I usually stick with just the fruits and veggies, for they look the freshest and I can trust where they come from most of the time. As with the other food- they provide a good vegetarian menu and sometimes have good cooked foods and fish. Other times, I'm not even sure what the food is nor where it came from. But you can usually find something to eat nevertheless.
Dorm Life There isn't much of a dorm life on campus (there are no fraternities or sororities), which makes for a nice studying enviroment. Outside of the main school buildings, the dorm areas are pretty quite (most of the time) and are just a place for people to relax. Even on the weekends, you won't see a great deal of people out and about around the dorms nor on campus. They do provide fun weekly acitivities for those residing in the dorms, however, so I suggest trying those out once in a while.
Academic Rigor The rigor really depends on the level and type of class you take. Most of the general education classes require that you just take notes, pay attention, come to class, and put in maybe 30 minutes worth of studying every few days. In other words, some of them do not require too much time, energy, and brain power. But those classes do provide an interesting array of new knowledge and ideas- so try to make the class fun. Major required classes (i.e. organic chemistry, physics, calculus) actually require an ample amount of time and extra effort to excel in the class. It's not like high school where you can breeze by without doing the homework. In these classes, doing the homework, forming study groups, and spending a good (at least) 8-12 hours on work per week is normal.
Tips for prospective students Be ready to meet lots of people from all around the world with different backgrounds, ideas, and beliefs from yours. Learn how to accept all of these people with open arms and be kind to everyone (including those you don't know, professors, and everyone around the campus and town).
In three sentences A relax and easy-going campus that allows people of all backgrounds to come, mingle, and learn all there is to learn about the world and surrounding enviroment. It's a small campus that's easy to get around, with friendly people at every turn. The academics are starting to pick up and become better quality and rated programs.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is pretty safe. There are security guards constantly walking around, and there hasn't been any case where a student has been harmed in any way.
Greek Life There aren't any sororities or fraternities at this college.
Clubs and Activities There are a lot of clubs that you can join. The only thing is that you kind of have to go searching for them. Sometimes clubs will post flyers to let you know when meetings are, and others you have to play it by ear.
Great for these types of students This campus is good for those who want to just focus on schoolwork and not really want to do any partying. If you like the rain this school is perfect because it rains just about everyday.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Every first Wednesday of the month the student activities committee holds a raffle and such at the cafeteria.
Bang for the buck It's a good school, but they can be rather unorganized. They do seem to give good financial aid if you qualify. But everyone here is pretty nice so that's a big plus.
What to do for fun There isn't really much to do in Hilo or on campus. There's a mall just about 5 minutes away from campus, but it can be rather dead. The student activities committee does plan some sort of activity just about every week to keep students entertained.
Food and Dining There are two cafeterias on campus and food at the cafeteria for boarders (where you eat if you're on a meal plan) isn't all that great but it's not completely bad either. The cafeteria at the Campus Center is pretty good but can be rather pricey.
Dorm Life Some people aren't very considerate when it comes to others, such as some people would be talking really loud right outside your window. But for the most part dorm life is pretty nice and quiet. There aren't any crazy parties that go on in the dorms.
Academic Rigor The academic work isn't really that hard. The professors are helpful and there's tutoring if needed. The only thing that gets difficult is the workload of all your classes combined.
Tips for prospective students This is a great school if you want a fairly peaceful environment to focus on studies.
In three sentences Tuition isn't that bad compared to most colleges; it's the price for books are what can really empty your wallet. The professors are really nice and people here are friendly and willing to help one another. It's a fairly easy going college to attend with activities just about every week to keep students entertained.

In three sentences I rate University of Hawaii at Hilo a two for the work-study availability. I rate University of Hawaii at Hilo a nine for the academics. I rate University of Hawaii at hilo money spent wisely a ZERO because the college recently spent money on statue worth $700,00 when the bathrooms are falling apart, MOLD in the classroom.

Academic Rigor The work is as difficult as a large institution but the one on one with professors helps alot.
Tips for prospective students Don't stay in the dorms, there are much cheaper and more comfortable housing options off campus.
In three sentences UH Hilo is an small school which means you get more one on one time with your professor. Most professors are very helpful while there are others who are difficult to work with. The university is in a small town so you will make friends fast and everything you need, from groceries to the airport, is right around the corner.

Categories Comments Food and Dining The meal plan comes with the housing at University of Hawaii at Hilo.
Dorm Life I personally never been to the dorms at University of Hawaii at Hilo but they are very new so they must be very nice.
Academic Rigor I have not gone to classes at University Hawaii at Hilo yet but I heard great things about it.
In three sentences I think the University of Hawaii at Hilo is a great school for local kids to go to after high school because it is not to far away from home. I also think University of Hawaii at Hilo is a great school because they offer a degree in something I like Marine Biology. Lastly, I think University of Hawaii at Hilo is a great school because I have been to Hilo and it has a home feeling to it without actually being home.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I see them making their rounds, and I know there's a number one can call. I've never felt unsafe.
Greek Life I haven't noticed any, but then again, I also haven't looked
Clubs and Activities Well I've taken up Jujitsu, and Swing Dance, there's tons of workout groups, and cultural groups, and a great Student Activities Council who has the beat on all activities around campus, (and does events for prizes like gift cards and things you may want in your apartment). With Hilo being as tight knit as it is, if you have a hobby, chances are somebody knows when/where you can find a group.
Great for these types of students Great for students who want a relaxed environment where they get to experience being a minority (I don't think there actually is a majority at the campus, it's so mixed!). Meet people from New Zealand, Europe, Japan, Korea, and of course the Pacific Islands.
Bang for the buck For experience with cultures -both national and international- its wonderful! If you're looking for a chance to learn in paradise it's way less expensive than any vacation- especially for the length of time you're here! Is it a super tough school where you're locked in your room studying? You know, part of that can be your major, part time management. I personally don't think so, but I'm very careful with my time.
What to do for fun Outdoor Edventure is an outstanding program where they take you for free to various places around the island with other college students. Kayaking, Volcano National Park, Green Sand Beaches, Snorkeling, Hiking, Maunu Kea, and if you get to know some locals (which you will), the entire island opens up to you.
Food and Dining Affordable, yes, does it cover quite everything? Well the 7-day plan I had I still needed a couple hundred more Flexpoints to have a meal called lunch. Sodexo food is great and I will probably buy the food when I'm running between classes, but I'm going to utilize the local grocery stores and my fridge this semester. The all-you-can-eat meals are great at the beginning of the week, but are consistent, and aren't always the best, especially as the week goes on.
Dorm Life I think they are great! They provide basic furniture, bathroom, haven't run out of hot water yet. If you're in apartment style- know to bring your own dishes/utensils/cookware/ect. And know that with a mild climate air conditioning consists of open or closed windows. They can be loud at night, whether it's from the neighbor's music, or the Koki frogs who like to sing all night.
Academic Rigor As with all colleges there are good professors, bad professors, and ones who you wonder why they are there. Rate my professor .com is a wonderful tool, also utilizing your fellow students. If you balance your time and homework you can have a great social life and get your homework done.
Tips for prospective students Hawaii has a very easy going culture, which can make getting technical information a challenge. That said they are super friendly, so get a hold of an office or exchange emails and don't expect an immediate response. Hold your end up on the due dates, and don't try and save it all for last minute.
In three sentences The fact is, it's Hawaii. If you want to learn about the culture of an outstanding native people with other students from around the world this is a wonderful place to come! If there is interest in the outdoors you have everything from snorkeling to cliff diving to hiking, 9 climate zones and a volcano there's more than enough to explore.

One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Recaps Week of October 1, 2007
Nora told Bo that Lindsay pled guilty and she had been shipped off to St.
Ann's. Bo couldn't believe it. Nora explained that Lindsay had known about Tommy's paternity. Bo felt guilty about leaving town though Nora assured him that there was nothing he could have done. "I could have been here," he said sadly. Bo remembered what Lindsay had said to him in the past. "I should have seen this breakdown coming," he added. Nora insinuated that Lindsay might be faking the breakdown. Bo wasn't so sure.
Will ran into Addie at St. Ann's. He was waiting to see Lindsay. Will and Addie remembered that they had met in the past, though Addie couldn't recall any details. Will told her that he was visiting his mother. The doctor at St. Ann's warned Will that Lindsay "wouldn't be the woman you know." A vacant Lindsay was escorted into the waiting area, dressed in a white robe. Will tried to get through to her, but she was unresponsive. "It's like she's in a coma," Will observed. Nora and Bo arrived. Bo offered to try to talk to Lindsay.
Michael assured Marcie that the judge would let them keep Tommy. Judy, Michael and Marcie's lawyer, came by to prep them before court. Judy thought there was a chance the judge might make his decision from the bench. Marcie became unhinged at the thought of losing Tommy. Judy reminded her that "we have weapons we haven't used yet." Marcie and Michael reported that Todd had tried to buy back Tommy. Judy was going to put that tidbit "in our hip pocket." In the courtroom, Marcie blurted out that Todd had tried to buy Tommy. "Please explain yourself, Mrs. McBain," the judge requested. Marcie showed him the check. Judy submitted it as evidence. Todd sat down, looking a bit rejected. "I am truly shocked, Mr. Manning. I thought you were a lot of things, but stupid wasn't one of them," the judge remarked. From the witness stand, Todd tried to explain the check. He said it was to compensate the McBains for taking care of his son. Todd added he never stopped loving Blair. The judge asked Blair if love was the only reason she entered the marriage. "Yes, the only reason," she claimed. Blair went on to state that Todd was a good father. Judy immediately brought up the fact that Todd had taken Jack from her at birth and given him away. Todd and Blair knew they were in trouble.
Cole wondered if the judge might be onto Blair and Todd's marriage scam, as he figured it out immediately. Starr was annoyed. Their math teacher told them to hold their chatter until after class. Cole accused her of trying to con him just like her parents conned her, and he wondered if Todd and Blair cared about what this deception was doing to Starr. He pointed out that they only talk about Tommy lately. Cole wondered if Blair and Todd would split up after the custody trial and promptly thought they were screwing up Starr's life.
Blair reminded Todd that she wasn't going to be living with him in the penthouse, but he could move in with them at Dorian's. That solution didn't sit well with Todd, but he couldn't really argue as Blair was about to testify on his behalf. Todd didn't think Dorian would like having him live at her house. He reminded Blair to tell the judge that she loved him and loved "his baby boy as if he was her own." Todd wondered if Blair thought he was stealing Tommy from the McBains. Todd thanked Blair for all her help, "even if it was for $5 million." The newlyweds arrived in court. Todd's attorney warned him to keep his cool. Moments after the judge opened the hearing, Todd introduced his new co-plaintiff — "My wife, Blair Cramer Manning."
Talia panicked when Antonio asked her to bring George to Capricorn for a drink. (Reminder — Talia has no boyfriend, let alone one named George.) Then a drunken lawyer came in to the station. Talia took his statement and found out his name was George. She almost asked him to be her boyfriend but then George blurted out his life story to Antonio.
Judy interrogated Blair and brought up all the details surrounding Jack's
birth and early years. Blair tried unsuccessfully to explain Todd's motives
for kidnapping baby Jack. Judy pointed out that Todd kept up the charade to
keep punishing Blair. Starr sat stone-faced, clearly worried about what was
going on in the courtroom. Blair assured the court that Todd loves his
children but did add that she sued Todd for full custody. Judy recounted the
entire saga of Blair and the kids in Hawaii and how Todd had followed them
there. Judy went after Blair and reminded the courtroom that Blair had spent
some time in St. Ann's and had a rap sheet of her own.
Starr jumped up: "Hey, you lay off my mom. You want to know about my
parents? You ask me!" Todd and Blair refused to let Starr testify. Starr
begged them. "It's win or lose my baby brother," she said. Todd's attorney,
however, thought it was a good idea for Starr to testify. A poised Starr
took the stand and was delighted to see Cole in the back. Starr said she
loved her parents very much. "Being Blair Cramer's daughter makes me feel
very special," she said. She recalled the whole death sentence thing her
father went through. "My parents are super parents," she said. She quickly
added that her mom and dad weren't perfect, but they don't deserve this.
"Please let us take him (Tommy) home," Starr said to the judge. Then it was
Judy's turn. Marcie asked her to go easy on Starr. Judy reminded them she
was there to help them keep their son. Judy asked if Starr thought the
McBains were good parents for Tommy. Starr said yes but "that's all he
knows." Judy then forced Starr to tell everyone how Todd had almost choked
Cole. Blair and Todd protested the interrogation, but the judge reminded them that they shouldn't have let her testify in the first place if they were
going to protest. Judy brought up the slide show that Brittney had arranged
— showing the whole school that Todd had raped someone years ago. Judy
done with the questioning. Starr ran out of the courtroom to Cole. Todd went
after them. Starr cried in Todd's arms apologizing. Todd assured her that
she did great. Todd asked Cole to take her home. Blair told Marcie she was
going to take her down. Michael asked Blair, "What would you do" to keep
your son. Then it was Michael's turn to take the stand. Todd's attorney
asked him how many hours he works a week. He went on to ask about his
etc. The attorney asked Michael for details on the timetable when he found
out Todd was Tommy's real father.
Cole and Markko suggested they have a course "understanding your girlfriend
101." Markko admitted that Langston was very tough to read.
Langston had tea with Dorian who immediately tried to get Langston to open
up. Dorian agreed with Langston's desire to keep her independence. Dorian
made Langston very nervous when she suggested having Langston's parents over
for dinner. Langston claimed her parents are still overseas and admitted to
lying about their timetable. Dorian questioned Langston about her missing
parents. "You need your parents," Dorian told her young guest. Langston
assured her that she was totally fine. Dorian asked for a phone number. "I
can't," a frazzled Langston blurted out. A very uneasy Langston beat a hasty
Bo tried to get through to Lindsay at St. Ann's. Bo begged her to say
something. He apologized for not being at her arraignment, but he got no
response from her. He kissed her forehead and left. Bo and Will left, which
allowed Nora a few moments with Lindsay. "Hey you," Nora said. "We
really need you to hurry up and get well." Nora added that if she found out
that she's faking it, "I'm going to cut you down."
Antonio helped Cristian behind the bar at Capricorn. Cris vowed to fire
Sarah when she came in. Sarah told her new roommate Layla that she doesn't
want to mess up this new living situation. Sarah showed up at work and immediately got a call with good news. She had booked Timbaland. Cris had a hard time believing that.
Talia told Layla about the imaginary boyfriend she had created for her boss "and now he wants to meet him." Talia added that she has to be at Capricorn with this boyfriend. Layla figured out that Talia was hot "for your boss."
Talia denied that accusation, though Layla thought they'd make a great couple. Talia explained that she couldn't go after her boss and then said he was still hung up on Jessica. Layla and Talia arrived at Capricorn and Talia began to tell him that she wasn't completely honest about George.
Sarah was able to convince Cris that she had indeed booked Timbaland for Capricorn. Layla introduced Shaun to Antonio as Talia's boyfriend but said his name was George, much to Antonio and Talia's confusion. Layla explained that George was Shaun's middle name. Talia tried to make the most of the charade, as Shaun and Vincent remained mightily confused. Shaun got into it and pulled a stunned Talia into a kiss. Shaun said he just loves having a pet name. Antonio said he was very happy for them and walked away. Once Antonio was out of sight, Talia pushed Shaun away. Layla and Talia both took the blame for the fiasco. "I'm pathetic," Talia whined to Layla. "I just humiliated myself in front of my boss. This whole thing is a mistake." Layla thought Antonio might be jealous, but Talia doubted that.
Dorian greeted Rex with snacks and a job assignment. "I want you to find Langston Wilde's parents." Dorian told Rex that Langston was vague about her parents' whereabouts. "She's a lovely girl but there's never a word about her parents," Dorian continued. Rex wondered if this was Dorian's business, but Dorian felt it was. Rex wasn't sure if he wanted the job, but Dorian got through to him. She told Rex exactly what to do and insisted he get a private telephone number for them. "You cannot leave a teenage girl alone. It's just not right," she insisted, and she shook Rex's hand to seal the deal.
Todd's attorney asked Michael how long he had known that Todd was Tommy's biological parent. Michael squirmed in the witness box before he began to talk. "I found out when everybody else did," he lied. Todd's lawyer asked Michael how he would feel if he was in Todd's shoes. Michael replied he'd think of what was in the best interest of the child. Todd jumped up and asked what did they think his son would feel if he knew his father hadn't fought for him. "DNA doesn't make you a father," Michael noted, as he asked the court to let him and Marcie raise "my boy." Marcie almost began to tear up. She then told the judge she'd die without her son. "I want to see the kind of man he'll grow into. Please let us keep our little boy," she begged. Todd's attorney suggested the McBains adopt again, which enraged Marcie. Unfazed, the lawyer reminded the court that the law is on Todd's side. "He is Tommy McBain's birth parent. It's time to reunite him with his son," he reasoned. "Tommy is a Manning, not a McBain. He belongs with his father." Then it was Judy's turn. She told the court that the McBains had planned a future for young Tommy, and asked the judge to consider what's best for the child. She also reminded the judge that Todd is an unfit parent. Having heard both sides, the judge told the court he'd ponder the case.
Langston had a fight with Markko when he started asking questions about her parents. She started to cry. "My parents aren't here," she wept. Markko told Langston he worries about her. Langston was deeply touched. "That's sweet,"
she said. Langston's cell phone rang and she pretended she was talking to her father when in reality she had sent the call to voicemail.
John dropped by Marty's apartment for some help with Tommy. Marty put Tommy down for a nap and she and John began kissing (which was the reason John had dropped by in the first place). Soon they stopped and then got all coy and shy with each other again.
Markko noticed that Langston was paying all of her household bills by forging her parents' signatures. He invited Langston over to his house for dinner. She danced around the invitation. Markko kept asking about her parents and Langston became more and more agitated. The teens were heading out to school when Rex (posing as the cable guy) rang the doorbell. Langston and Markko pushed Rex out of the house. Then Rex got lucky when the mail was delivered and he was able to intercept a letter. The PI arrived at Dorian's with the envelope, which she immediately ripped open.
Dorian visited Lindsay at Saint Ann's. She told Lindsay she didn't have to plead guilty to Spencer's murder. Dorian tried to joke with the heavily-medicated inmate but wasn't getting through at all. She yelled, "Wake up!" about an inch from Lindsay's face, which had no effect. Then Dorian slapped her, which seemed to get Lindsay's attention. "If you ever do this again, I will stick this award where it never needs polishing," an alert Lindsay said. The doctor came in and checked her out. She began talking and wondered if she was sick. She explained that she didn't remember anything. Dorian lied to the doctor and didn't admit she had slapped Lindsay to wake her up. The doctor didn't know if this meant a full recovery. Marcie showed up to visit her friend. The doctor told Marcie not to expect too much. Lindsay said she was sorry she missed Marcie's birthday. "I promise I'll be there next year," Lindsay said. Marcie hugged her. The doctor told Dorian about a new medication that might be good for Addie. As Marcie was showing Lindsay photos, Lindsay started muttering that she had saved Tommy and she had done something bad. "We're not supposed to talk about it," she said in a crazy way. Lindsay then said she had overheard a conversation between Rex and Michael outside Capricorn.
Michael babysat Tommy at the hospital. He assured his son that they would have a fun life together. Todd, Jack and Blair arrived at the hospital to attend to Jack's stomach. (They said he'd been throwing up, though there was some question as to whether he was really sick.) Michael was paged and gave Tommy to one of the nurses to watch. Todd ran into the nurse and Tommy. Todd pretended to be John and offered to take Tommy off her hands. Todd had Tommy in his arms when Michael charged in. "Get your hands off my son," Michael yelled.
Natalie paid Miles a visit. The two talked about Natalie's job problems and she told him about Jared. "It's a long story," Natalie admitted, and she changed the topic to Miles. They reviewed the day they saw John and Marty kiss. Natalie explained that she slept with Jared (sort of) before she hired him. Miles thanked Natalie for always sticking by him. Natalie applauded Miles' efforts to change as a person. "If I'm not willing to change, I have no chance at all," he said. "You are looking at the queen of mistakes," Natalie replied. Miles and Natalie agreed to try to keep each other from messing up.
John and Marty had coffee and donuts on a picnic blanket. They discussed Tommy's custody case. John was worried that Michael and Marcie might lose.
Marty thought the judge might suggest joint custody, but John didn't think Todd would go for that. Shifting gears, the new couple made paper airplanes and started kissing.
Marty and John were kissing when Marty broke away and asked what they were doing. She wondered where this was going. John admitted that he "wasn't good at this sort of thing." Marty asked what he was thinking. "You first," John muttered. She admitted to being scared. "I haven't been with a man since..." Marty began. "Your husband," John finished her sentence. Marty added she never wanted to kiss anybody else "until you." John wished he was better at conversations "like this." He managed to tell her he likes her. "We're on the same page, I guess," he reasoned. They started kissing again.
Dorian ripped open a letter Rex had stolen from Langston's mailbox. "This is ridiculous," Dorian exclaimed. It was a letter saying that Langston's parents were going to receive an award on Nov. 3. Dorian flipped out and wrote a check to Rex for his services. "I'm taking over here," Dorian announced. She immediately called the World Rescue Fund and demanded that they revoke the award. The phone call took an odd turn. "What?" she asked. "Well, that's impossible."
Lindsay told Marcie about the conversation she overheard between Rex and Michael. Marcie realized that Michael had known about Tommy since January. "I think that you are confused," Marcie said. Lindsay begged Marcie to believe her. "All I wanted to do was help," Lindsay promised. She clearly remembered overhearing the conversation. "Oh, God," Marcie whispered as she began to cry. "All I've ever wanted is for you to be happy," Lindsay continued. "Michael's secret is safe with me."
After seeing Tommy in Todd's arms, Michael accused Todd of trying to steal his son. The nurse took Tommy away. Blair kept Todd and Michael from engaging in a full-blown fight. Todd and Blair left to go see how Jack was.
Todd, Blair and Michael exchanged some nasty unpleasantries until all retired to their separate corners. The next round would take place in the courtroom. Marcie came into the hospital and demanded a private conversation with Michael. She updated Michael on Lindsay. "She's remembering things," Marcie hinted. Marcie told Michael about the January conversation Lindsay overheard. Michael reminded his wife they needed to keep the focus on Tommy. Marcie demanded the truth now. "Have you been lying to me about Tommy all this time?" she blurted. "Yeah," Michael replied, his eyes filling up with tears. Michael recounted the whole scenario to his furious wife. "So that's the big secret, huh?" she said. Michael tried to explain that he didn't tell her to protect her. Marcie told Michael he should have told her the minute he found out. "What difference does that make?" Michael asked his wife. Marcie thought it was now too late for them to do something to change the situation. "If we lose Tommy, this will be your fault, and I will never forgive you," she vowed. Marcie and Todd's phones rang with messages from their respective lawyers: the judge had made his decision.
Markko asked Starr for some details on Langston. Starr couldn't believe that Langston was going to meet Markko's parents. Starr admitted she'd never really met Langston's mom and dad, which Markko thought was quite curious.
Langston overheard the conversation but interrupted them before they could continue speculating about her parents. "Why can't you stop asking me questions about my relationship with my parents?" she barked at the both of them. Starr and Langston talked about keeping secrets, carefully dancing around the big secrets between them.
Cristian finally believed Sarah that she had booked Timbaland at Capricorn and immediately promoted her. Then he called Mrs. Williamson for an Evangeline update and asked her to tell her daughter he loved her.

Inca Trail Tours
- Machu Picchu
- Winay Wayna
- Intipata
- Dead Woman's Pass
- Aguas Calientas (Hot Springs)
At its height the Inca road system covered over 20,000 km and stretched from Ecuador to Chile; most trails converged on Cuzco, capital of the empire. The stretch refered to as "the" Inca Trail today is in fact merely the final, dramatic and most popular stretch of the Incan road leading to Machu Picchu. A rite of passage for many visitors to Peru, the Inca Trail is a strenuous, 4-day trek from the Sacred Valley floor through cloud forest and jungle, traversing high mountain passes that test both mind and body. The end of the trail is the aptly-named Sun Gate, where a first misty glimpse of the lost city of Machu Picchu is made all the more meaningful when the journey was fueled by your own sweat and determination.
To view interactive route maps, wildlife guides and photographs of these life changing trips, please visit our Peru Trekking & Inca Trail Page.
Andean Discovery (JML)
Take the party to new heights in the rarefied air of the Andes. With other young travellers not afraid to try new things, you'll journey from the enigmatic Nazca Lines to the lost city of Machu Picchu and onward to incredible La Paz.

Think of this as three weeks of climbing higher, going further and pushing boundaries on the roof of South America.
Highlights: Climb the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, spot condors at Colca Canyon, feel like a local at a Lake Titicaca homestay, explore the capital cities of Lima and La Paz.

In Vietnam, people will smile regardless of how they are feeling. This is to do with the concept of âfaceâ, a very important matter when travelling and communicating in East Asia.
âFaceâ can be roughly defined as a personâs reputation, dignity and prestige. It is important to keep or save face, and to avoid losing or making someone else lose face. You can also give face to someone. It is valuable to know how you might cause someone to lose face, as in most cases people will not openly show you that you have offended them, but the offence, the âloss of faceâ, will not be forgotten.
Face can be given, saved or lost by companies as well as individuals. One important way in which foreigners can avoid making people lose face is by not giving criticism publicly. If you have a complaint or have a poor opinion of someoneâs performance or service, avoid conveying this in front of other people â find a way to do it in private.
Because saving face is so important, a smile in Asia also does not necessarily mean the same as a smile elsewhere. Vietnamese people will continue to smile, in fact they will smile all the more, if they are embarrassed or feel uncomfortable about something. This has led in the past to real conflict and increasing anger on the part of Westerners. Do not make this mistake! Donât be irritated if, for example, a hotel manager smiles broadly at you when a reservation has got lost or if something goes wrong in a public place. You are not being laughed at, nor is the matter not being taken seriously. The people you are dealing with are simply trying to âsave faceâ â both their own and yours. Smile back!
In Vietnam it is also common for people to smile if they donât understand you. Do not insist; smile, apologise for being unclear, and try to explain in a different way.
In Europe, a rire jaune, a âyellow laughâ in French, is a forced laugh. It is said to originate in the fact that people suffering from hepatitis are often in a bad mood and when they force themselves to laugh, the bile in their system makes them look yellow! It is also said to refer to Judas, the traitor, who in the Bible is described as dressed in yellow. Lachen als een boer die kiespijn heeft, to laugh like a farmer with a toothache, is the laugh a Dutch person makes when he is not at all amused by something but trying not to show his annoyance or shame.
In Ireland, donât be insulted if people poke fun at you! âSlaggingâ people is just a friendly way of making conversation â and almost a national hobby!
In Spain, donât try too hard to be polite. People may find it annoying!

i cut my own hair but i treated myself to a full shave gotee trim and haircut!
I like when they buzz my neck at the end. It gives me the shivers every time. OMG
i like my barber. hes shaves the back of my neck with a straight razor.
"i hope you have fun"
Love that razor, from the front of the ear 'round to the front of the other. Not that disposable joint the new kids have now either. This one is 100 years old prolly.
