Dell challenges Psion's claim to Netbooks
Since the end of 2008, Psion has actively defended its copyright of the term netbook, with some success. Now Dell has issued court papers disputing the claim.
With its sales of Inspiron Mini 9, 10 and 12, Dell is effectively selling netbook devices without actually using the term "netbook" on its homepage. Nevertheless, Dell has started a Petition for Cancellation of Psion's trademark.
According to an article on PCPro, Psion declared before a court in 2006 that the company was continuing to market devices they called netbooks. Dell disputes this, and accuses Psion of making "false statements", thereby forfeiting Psion's claim to copyright of the term.
Dell obviously has a vested interest in the outcome of the petition. A new report by Laptopmag.com claims that Dell's netbook business is having considerable success. A third of purchases are Linux versions, and Dell is quite satisfied with the low return rates.

LovePosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Shortly into the happily ever after, A notices subtle shifts in the relationship. B begins to gently criticize her clothing, the way she walks, the books she reads. As time goes on, B becomes more outspoken: why does she click her teeth like that? Why does she talk so loudly? Why doesn't she get rid of her foolish friends?
And then one day it dawns on her: B never loved her.
B just fell in love with the way love made him feel.
That's the image I have when I hear composers say they want to change the definition of music, to create a completely original kind of music. Seems to me they have fallen in love with what they believe is their power over the art form, rather than the art form itself.
I'd rather invest in the relationship, grow with it over time, and watch it grow with me.
A little bickering here and there is fine, but there is something to be said for high fidelity.

Fantastic Family Stay
Stayed at this beautiful home with my extended family for a relative's wedding weekend. It really felt as though we were guests in someone's warm, inviting home. Everything was in the best condition and it is a clearly very well cared for home. We had everything we could possibly need while we were there, plus lots of extra touches (games, music, fully pantry, laundry). While in the Kirkwood area we visited other cabins where family was staying, and without a doubt ours had the most homey, comfortable feel and THE BEST view. SImply gorgeous view through the huge windows and overlooking the deck on the main floor/family/dining rooms.
Perfect for retreat/conference or family reunion
We needed a large house for a lab conference. This one fit the bill perfectly and the attendees loved the access to the ski slopes. The kitchen was a big hit with lots of room for preparing and serving meals. Everything was described perfectly and beautifully maintained. The photos do not do it justice. Owner was extremely helpful and patient with many questions and the normal delays of working through a University. There was enough space for folks to spread out. I highly recommend this property for large families or groups.
Luxury Log Cabin is worthy description.
Secluded, quiet, private and Ritz Carlton quality. The only thing we missed was a hop tub and room service. :)

These Sorry Couplet poems are examples of Couplet poems about Sorry. These are the best examples of Sorry Couplet poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
I'm sorry that I'm always sad,
That I do things to make you mad.
I'm sorry that I've lost my hope,
I'm sorry for the ways I cope.
I'm sorry that I bring you down,
I'm sorry that I make you frown.
I swear to God that you must believe,
I love you more than you can see.
I'm sorry that my heart is dying,
I swear to you that I've been trying.
I'm sorry that I cannot see,
much future left in front of me.
I'm sorry that I'm so depressed,
I realy know that I'm a mess.
Writing this note's made me see,
Just how much hurt I've made you grieve.
I'm so disgusted with myself,
I'm so damn bad for your good health.
I know that It's hard to admit,
I've made this such a long hard trip.
I feel like I have ruined your heart,
Like I have torn you all apart.
I have a question for you dear,
And, yes, your answere I do fear.
You said that you missed her big picture,
When you saw, you changed your fixture.
For your sake, love, please look at mine,
Before your heart's put on the line.
I'm sorry that I'm so impatient,
I'm just afraid life's not worth waiting.
I really don't want you to leave,
I want for us to both believe.
I want to once again find hope,
But it will be hard on my own.
But then again if I'm too much,
I don't want to kill all your love.
I'm sorry for the ways I fight,
I'm sorry that I dim your light.
I'm sorry I'm so negative,
That I am so competative.
I'm sorry that I'm so outrageous,
I'm sorry my hurt's so contagious.
I don't want to see your heart eache,
Cuz when I do my heart it breaks.
I'm sorry that I'm not so strong,
But you inspire my hearts song.
I'm not alone cuz now I see,
Your light that's shining just for me.
I'm sorry that I'm up and down,
But, Dear, You win the patience crown.
My love for you's so strong, please see,
A fire burns for you in in me.
I know that It's hard to believe,
But God will help us, just you see.
I can't keep from calling you, when you never answer the phone
I just want us to talk it through but that can't done alone
My three minutes are almost out, so I'll just talk to your machine
I know your mad, without a doubt and your probably hating me
I was a fool to treat you that way, those things I said were cruel
Wishing I could take back that day, I am so sorry for hurting you
I wish we could talk face to face, just to give us a brand new start
Almost done now, don't push erase! I love you babe with all my heart
They say my duty is to protect the lands
Defend it! Even with your bare hands
I train so hard in the sun and rain
To become stronger, something to gain
Task after task it gets tougher
My heart and skin become rougher
Learning how to become a predator
I was chosen for this, not just a visitor
Aim for your target's heart
Kill him, find another one, restart
Gradually, I lose all emotion
Combat is my only devotion
Suddenly terrors outbreak
Our country is at stake
What are we going to do?
Start a war, come soldier, you!
Surely, the fight begins
But who are the villains?
I didn't have time to think
These dots to link
I was at war
Fighting like a wild boar
Killing as many enemies as I can
This terror, I will surely ban
An enemy tries to run
I kill him just for fun
Wait! Am I enjoying this?
What is this unholy bliss?
Feeling delight by making others suffer
What is it that I offer?
Wasn't it peace and tranquility?
How come I'm committing infidelity?
I look around, the seeds of hell
Have all come out of their shell
Pointless murdering
Me and my fleet are shouldering
Countless cases of rape
Committed by the heroes wearing the cape
The land we were supposed to protect
With corruption, it, We did infect
Following orders from above
All our humanity we had to shove
Why didn't we ask first?
Why, for blood, did we thirst?
The enemy I killed was just a kid
Going back to a place where he hid
To the world, I'm a hero
Personally, I'm just a zero
My humanity is back
Taking me to the right track
But I'm chained to my regret
A shame that I can't neglect
Although, I did quit the war
It's not enough to pay back the score
I got a soul, yet I'm just a boulder
I am the honorable soldier
I am so screaming bloody MURDERrrrr!!!!!!!!
catch that Poet Destroyer!! (grr, grr, grrrrrr)
She took my turtle sweetie
then said he tasted salty
Well what did she expect?
She is now my prime suspect!
Gone now is my turtle lovey-poo...
and I'm left crying boo-hoo-hoo
I'm plotting now my sweet revenge
for my love's death I will avenge
Watch out, pd I'm watching you
oh! the pain--your turn to stew!!
Did you know sea turtles shed tears?
Were you not moved when they appeared?
What did you do to the shell?
Did you sell it, do pray tell...
my heart is really breaking, b-r-e-a-k-i-n-g
were you the one who did the chopping??
Did his bones go crunch, crunch, crunch?
who else did the munch, munch, munch?
Thanks to you I shall never see him smile,
never see him again swim in style.
Huh? Who is this crawling towards me??
none other than my turtle honey!?!
What? You mean turtle news got it wrong?
You mean, they messed up all along?
pd wasn't cooking you at all? and not Soup?
So you're telling me I've been duped??
But I know they said she was eating turtles!!
Devouring them in between chortles!!
popping them in her mouth like candy
then chasing them down with shandy!
Oh. OH. OHhhhhhhh.
well why didn't anybody tell me earlier?
now I have to say sorry to p. destroyer??
Ok, ok, I'll be the bigger turtle and apologize.
Sorry so sorry pd, I didn't realize...
You were eating Chocolate turtles, the pecan kind
*blush* *blush* teeheehee, spare me some, if you don't mind??
August 3, 2010 written for pd's turtle soup contest
ahaha a bit long-winded sorry I didn't know
where this would take me, had fun though,,,,
+ Linda-Marie I hope you don't mind, I just had to
take from your honey poo & use "poo" as well
for my own turtle-poo ;) lol too cute
I'm on a planet with a golden kiss
It shimmers with glory, such bliss!
As I zoom in, it turns into a dark land
Peep in, I'm afraid, I cannot stand!
In darkness, I see a bright glowing tower
Inside, a plethora of so called 'man' power
Zoom in; I see 'beast' kind disguised as 'man' kind
Alas! Not a single kind beast could I find
I hear roars of uncivilized beings
And moans of so-called weaklings
I see a trail of emotional turmoil
Those 7 deadly sins wrapped in a dazzling foil
Gifted to humanity, his power, his grey matter
It separates humans from animals and allows us to shatter
The once created planet with a golden kiss
Will it ever show the signs of holy bliss?
Things were difficult enough, before things had changed,
My mind rushed to deal with things that just got rearranged.
It's been so long and I'm not sure what to say,
My life took a turn on me, back on that day.
My eyes were covered with pain so deep,
Nothing had prepared me for this painful trip.
Things were moving along so smooth,
then one phone call, made my earth move.
I cared about nothing, but what was in front,
expecting you to be mad, for pulling this stunt,
Ashamed of myself for not being better,
Not sure I could say how in this letter.
But I want you to know, I missed you all so much,
Hopefully, I'm back and haven't lost my touch.
I speak to you now, from deep within my heart,
I'm not the same person, simply just one part.
Part of my soul has died and will never be the same,
I must grieve and move forward now without any shame.
I am so sorry that I left you all my dear friends,
All I can say, is that I will try to make amends.
I'm not sure what to expect, from pouring my heart out like this,
You should know that you all deserve better, I give you one big kiss.
You hate your dad, I know
but I can't choose between you two...just no
I'm sorry.
You're right, I probably would never see
how bad I screwed up, but
without you, I've gone nuts.
Seriously, I will keep trying
to have you back, 'cause I'm crying.
I don't wanna lose you, o.m.g.
I'm really sorry...
I know I was a terrible girl
but I'm a clam and you're my pearl.
Without you, I have no value
without you, I'm no longer cool
I missed everything we've been through.
Your voice when you sing, I'm glued to you.
Hey, I'm still your number one fan
and you'll always be my sweet, young man.
you're the water, and he's the sun
without you both, I'd be done
I hope you can just understand
I'll always wanna hold your hand
no matter what happened, I'll love you still.
We used to hang and used to chill.
now I'm mad we can't do that
but again, it's my fault the balloon went splat.
I'm desperate to hear you say
'I love you mom, it'll always be this way'
I want your forgiveness, seriously
I'm really sorry.
I know that my scars cause embarrassment for you
My skin just doesn't heal quickly from black and blue
I'm sorry that my sweet cat causes you to wheeze
And that when we went camping you caught lime disease
And I just hate it that I lost my sanity
By ducking so your fist would crush my vanity
I'm sorry I bought you too many birthday gifts
And that you felt compelled to toss them from the cliffs
My cooking, as you say, will never win a prize
Now with frozen dinners I'll try to compromise
I criticized your sister for trying to dress fancy
With pretty clothes to hide her unwed pregnancy
I promise to worship your saintly old uncle
And I'll try to ignore his ghastly carbuncle
My contrition's sincere for driving you to rage
Remorseful I am that you broke my rib cage
When the hospital staff called police to the scene
You'd no choice but to stick a dagger in my spleen
And now, poor husband, you are forced to care for me
Because my battered body reflects your artistry
Please take my apology, I'll not report you
The next time my faults cause your anger to ensue
For evermore I will repent
For not having saved a cent
For my retiring aging years.
For spendthrift ways I am in tears

Public education supporters from four states are expected to attend a meeting Saturday in Fort Wayne.
Keynote speaker for the first "Public Schools Across America regional action planning meeting" will be Glenda Ritz, Indiana superintendent of public instruction.
Organizers for the event are Julie Woestehoff, executive director of Parents United for Responsible Education in Chicago and co-founder of Parents Across America, along with Maureen Reedy, a parent and veteran educator who was Ohio Teacher of the Year in 2002. The Fort Wayne-based Northeast Indiana Friends of Public Education handled local arrangements for the event, set for noon to 5 p.m. at Plymouth Congregational Church, 501 W. Berry.
The purpose of the event is to share "concerns about attacks on public education and how we have addressed them locally, and to consider joint activities across our region and potentially across theU.S.to strengthen public education," according to the organizers.
The free event is open not just to educators, but also parents, grandparents and anyone interested in the future of public education.
Looks like a good session for Indiana lawmakers.

Deere Lawn Div. 50th Anniv.
April 01, 2013
50 years and 5 million products later, Deere and Company is celebrating the anniversary of its entry into the lawn and garden business. Greg Weeks, product marketing manager for riding lawn equipment, says in 1963 Deere began producing a basic, low horsepower, riding lawn and garden tractor at its plant in Horicon Wisconsin.
Today the company manufactures a variety of lawn and garden tractor models, for home and commercial use, plus the Gator utility vehicle - at several plants in the US. And at various times it's also made walk-behind lawn mowers and snow-mobiles.
For the future, he says look for "autonomous mowers," in fact they're already for sale in Europe.
Starting with the oil crisis in the 1970's, Deere made electric mowers, but stopped in the 90's. Weeks says another possible new product from this division is home electrification and monitoring equipment.

Not a fan of Green Tea (Monday, December 30, 2013)
I wish I would have read the other reviews before purchasing this. I have had Yerba Mate before, but it must have been flavored b/c my first reaction to my first cup of this was, ugh, green tea. I'm not a huge fan of green tea. I brewed it for a good 5 minutes the first time and it was too grassy. Today, however, I brewed it for just 3 minutes and added a splash of honey and milk and it was very good, light, not bitter.
A bit musky (Wednesday, February 20, 2013)
I have had yerba matte before and really liked it. This version is a bit musky for my taste.
Best Mate I've Tasted (Tuesday, February 14, 2012)
Sometimes cheap or generic mates can have an unpleasant 'ashtray' smell, which is why I was never a fan. But as usual, this company's mate exemplifies the best of what a tea can be. It is fresh, clean, and it feels very cleansing to the body. It is a wonderful after dinner drink for those who do not want to drink too much caffeine at night, but like their tea.
green mate (Monday, April 12, 2010)
Green mate, especially unflavored, taste a little grassy with maybe some tree bark. This is not a bad thing however it certainly has it's own flavor. The brew was smooth..a bit boring...and no sweetener was needed but i prefer flavored mate over unflavored.
Smooth drink (Tuesday, December 01, 2009)
This tea is smooth and flavorful. I love it in the evening for relaxation.
Fabulous! (Saturday, July 18, 2009)
The earthiness of this tea is a delight. It's somehow grassy, sweet, and light at the same time, with a nice caffeine boost. I'm hooked!

Understanding of job market
by VkStat
Tags: market
|Share this thread:
Jan19-13, 09:40 PM
Hi everyone,
Help me please to understand what to do - I'm really confused. Sorry for maybe stupid questions - I just don't know where to go to find out this information...
A bit about myself. I live in Canada (Ontario) and now I'm doing my Masters in Stats. I have good mathematical background, I have some programming skills (Stats software, sql, c++, matlab). I don't have any work experience, except Graduate Assistant position in my university ( for 1 year).
I try to understand job market which is opened to me with this background, with statistical degree. I'm not a scientific person and I definitely don't want to do phd and I don't want to have scientific-oriented job. I would prefer to work in finance.
I don't have finance background but maybe I can find an entry-level job where I can get it. Are there such opportunities? What exactly should I looking for in job search? How can I be hired without finance background? I want to plan my career path and I don't know how to start.
Maybe firstly I should find something where I will need my programming skills? In what industry? What positions are the best for me?
Maybe you could tell me some options I have...
I'm totally confused with everything.. Maybe you know some websites which could be helpful for me. It would be great.
But I've been at thousands numbers of websites and I still have a lot of misunderstanding.
Thank you in advance! I hope a lot that somebody could help me here.
Jan20-13, 12:23 AM
Why restrict yourself to finance? Stats is such a broad field with so many applications - have you considered data mining, business intelligence, marketing, and other roles where your skills would be useful?
In finance, you have a solid background for actuarial work, but unfortunately the field is very competitive in Canada and you would need several exams before I think you'd have a shot. Probably not a bad thing to keep in the back of your mind.
Financial roles that use stats could be lower level analyst roles. I know there's work on Wall St that utilizes time series analysis. You could swing by quantnet or Wilmott and try to get a feel for whether you have some qualifications that are needed.
Jan20-13, 12:35 AM
I really suggest the book "A Career in Statistics" by Gerald Hahn. It geared towards US readers, but I think it'll really help open your eyes to what you can really do with your degree. While, I understand finance may be your goal, I'm going to tell you that, the pay is good, but the hours not so much. I took a finance job my first year after my masters, I was completely unhappy, even though it was my goal to get the job. So with that said, try to be open minded and explore what you can do and the kind of company that you want to work for.

Understanding of job market
To follow up on what both Locrian and MarneMath has stated, there are numerous opportunities open to you with a Masters in statistics, not simply in finance. Even within the narrow field of finance, there are numerous areas where employers will value your skills -- for example, in credit risk modelling, fraud detection, etc. Of course, many financial firms have specific departments that specialize in data mining, business intelligence or market research that employs many statisticians.
I suggest that you set up a profile on LinkedIn, outlining your skills, education and experience -- it's a great resource to network with various professionals in numerous businesses, and also for recruiters to notice you. LinkedIn also has a job search engine which could help identify which jobs you may be interested in.
Also check out websites such as Workopolis or Monster if you haven't done so already.
Jan20-13, 12:02 PM
I am finishing my first year/starting my second year in an undergrad in mathematics and statistics but I am in my late 20s, studying part time, have no savings and big student debt from two previous degrees (was planning to go into academia), so higher-salaried stat jobs are of increasing importance to my career plans. Thankyou.
Jan20-13, 05:28 PM
Thank you for your replies!
I will find this book and set up a profile on this LinkedIn website. It should be really useful.
As regards field, you're right. I don't want to restrict myself. I read a lot about actuarial and found out that this sphere is very competitive in Canada. It's crucial thing for me cause I need to find a job as soon as possible .
1) Data mining, business intelligence, marketing - sounds very interesting to me. And how can I start without experience say in marketing? What do I need to find job somewhere in these fields? What skills, what experience? If I need experience - how can I get it? Is it normal to find entry-level job in these spheres after graduation with Statistics degree?
2) Locrian, you said "data mining, business intelligence, marketing, and other roles". What other? Where can I find information about such things?
You know, when I'm trying to find something in the internet I see a lot of stuff like "Statisticians are employed by government, universities, business companies, medical companies and others". It's too general.
3) A lot of job searching websites asks about industry. Obviously, it's important to know it. Should I choose exact one industry or I could look for several while searching for a job?
I tried to use his website http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca, open "example titles" using my NOC (2161) and then search for these titles in job searching websites. I've done a long search and I did't find answers to my questions.
Thank you for help!

I know thats vague, and Im not good at it either. But Ive seen it work. Youd be surprised how receptive people can be if you just call and ask for an informational interview. We get students in our office now and then because they were brave enough to walk up to one of our officers that was visiting their school and ask to see what we do. It is possible to burn bridges or make mistakes, but its harder than you think. Just be respectful of peoples time and you may be surprised how helpful they are. Remarks like VkStat? Oh yea, Ive talked to them several times on the phone. Seems like someone I would be willing to work with can mean a lot in some departments.
Finally, note that some of the best networking is internal networking. I think its entirely reasonable to work a job you are ho-hum about for a couple of years to get real world experience. Getting a job within the company can sometimes be easier than from outside. Note that people often disagree with me on this point, for a variety of reasons. I think theyre wrong , but whatever you decide, its important you do it well.
By the way, I would think business intelligence jobs could certainly be had with only a BS (from job adds I see regularly), but data mining may require a masters, or at least an understanding of the field.
What about web companies evaluating consumer behavior? Government statistics? I just did a search in the US govt job listings and even after some narrowing to try and fit an entry level job, I think there may be more than seventy-five openings across just about every area of government work. That doesnt do you any good practically, but I think it illustrates the diversity of options available to you.
One way or another, youre going to have to talk to people. If you were looking for actuarial work in the US, then you should be looking through the SOA & CAS lists for people you can email (and following up with me, as you already have been doing). How about recruiters? Theyre unlikely to be much help finding a job, but they may have advice concerning your resume, or ideas on where jobs can be had. I hate to volunteer him, but StatGuy2000 has been tremendously helpful on this forum, and has at least a couple of things in common with you. Internet forums have a big drawback because people dont always like to give away real life details to anyone, but that doesnt mean they cant be great resources.
Questions you could be asking: Who in the area in which you work is hiring? Who is laying people off? Where do you see growth in the future? If you had to find a job right now, where would you look? If you were entry level like me, where then?
You only need one job at a time, after all. Try everything to get it. Nobody ever says Yea I have a great job, but unfortunately I had to send out forty emails and do six interviews, so it doesnt really count.
Best of luck and keep us updated as to how things go.
Jan23-13, 07:40 PM
Oh, thank you very much for such detailed answer!! Thank you a lot! Really, it was a big pleasure to read this! It is so important for me right now. To begin with something. Thank you again. Now I want to think all this through...

Penelope Cruz is set to reunite with Pedro Almodovar on comedy The Brief Lovers.
The Spanish star is said to be joining spanish stars Lola Duenas, Cecilia Roth, Paz Vega and Javier Camara in the upcoming film.
It would be the first time the actress and filmmaker have collaborated since 2009's Broken Embraces.
The movie's plot is being kept under wraps, but it is rumoured to be a comedy about an affair on board an aeroplane.
Filming is scheduled to start in the summer.
Penelope, who welcomed son Leonardo in January 2011 with husband Javier Bardem, is also set to work with Ridley Scott on The Counsellor.
She has joined a star-studded cast including Javier, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz and Michael Fassbender on the upcoming thriller, which has been written by The Road's Cormac McCarthy.
It would be the first time that the couple have worked together on the big screen since Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona in 2008.
Michael is already on board to star as a respected lawyer who dabbles in drug dealing, while Brad could be signing up for a supporting role as Westray, "a business associate of the Counsellor".
There is no word on Penelope's role, although she is tipped to play the fiancee of Michael's character.

Just a question and excuse my ignorance , with the likes of Digital Rev when you buy a camera and lens from them , are these what is called grey imported equipment with no australian warranty as there price for a D700 and 24-70 has almost got me ordering one right now.
@Goatch - with any grey or OS advertiser you need to check the legals on warranty for yourself.
AP are not responsible.
As I understand things some brands have international warranty on lenses but not bodies.

The Evolving Drug Trade in Guinea-Bissau and West Africa
Has Guinea-Bissau become Africa's first narco-state or is it actually losing its importance as a transshipment center? For Davin O'Regan, such an either-or question is too local. Drug trafficking, if it is to be analyzed properly, must be treated as a regional rather than national-level phenomenon. More on «The Evolving Drug Trade in Guinea-Bissau and West Africa»

Shake-up Under Way in Global Drugs Policy
The enthusiasm for a costly and largely ineffective global 'war on drugs' is on the wane.

Militarised Public Security in Latin America: Mexico Gambles on Vigilante Security
Should the Mexican government ally itself with armed vigilante groups against the country's drug cartels? Sarah Kinosian doesn't think so -- the government's eight-point agreement with them is flawed and the militarizing of public security has been disastrous for other Latin American states.

Trains, Terrain, and Terrorism
Why has India experienced more terrorist attacks since 1970 than almost any other country?

The Role of the Paramilitary in Mexican Security
Mexican communities are turning to paramilitary and vigilante groups in order to help them battle the country's drugs cartels. That's wise, right? Not according to Robert Valencia.

Kirkuk's Multidimensional Security Crisis
The political tug of war over the resource rich and ethnically diverse region of Kirkuk is partly responsible for the recent upsurge in violence across Iraq.

Colombia or Bust: Narcotics Trafficking in Peru and the Road Ahead
Is it wise to compare Peru's ongoing struggle with cocaine production and trafficking with Colombia's experiences? Patrick Hernandez doesn't think so. Beyond the differences between the two countries' domestic politics, he also believes that the US's falling demand for cocaine makes a 'Plan Peru' unlikely.

An unmissable part of any North Luzon itinerary, VIGAN is one of the oldest towns in the Philippines. Lying on the western bank of the Mestizo River, Vigan was in Spanish times an important political, military, cultural and religious centre. The old town, with Plaza Salcedo and Plaza Burgos on the northern edge and Libertad (Liberation) Boulevard to the south, is characterized by its cobbled streets and some of the finest old colonial architecture in the country – it mixes Mexican, Chinese and Filipino features. Various governmental and non-governmental organizations have joined forces to preserve the old buildings; many are still lived in, others are used as curio shops, and a few have been converted into museums or hotels. Vigan's time-capsule ambience is aided by the decision to close some streets to traffic and allow only pedestrians and kalesas. A ride in one of these horse-drawn carriages makes for a romantic way to tour the town.
Vigan's old town is where most of the beautiful ancestral houses are located. Also known as the Mestizo District or Kasanglayan (where the Chinese live), the old town runs roughly from Plaza Burgos in the north to Liberation Boulevard in the south. The most important thoroughfare is elegant old Crisologo Street, which has been given a makeover and is closed to traffic – a rarity in the Philippines. Architecturally, the houses are fundamentally Chinese or Mexican, influenced either by the immigrant architects from China's eastern seaboard who prepared the plans, or by ideas picked up by the Spanish in their South American colony. But they have flourishes such as sliding capiz-shell windows and ventanillas (ventilated walls) added by local artisans.
Although most houses are still private homes, a few are open to the public. These offer an intimate view of ilustrado life at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Crisologo Museum on Liberation Boulevard has displays about the history of the influential – and sometimes controversial – Crisologo family, including the car in which Governor Carmeling Crisologo was ambushed in 1961. Syquia Mansion on Quirino Boulevard is the ancestral home of former President Elpidio Quirino, an eye-catching red-brick colonial house that has been restored and furnished in nineteenth-century style and contains a collection of presidential memorabilia. Quema House (t077/722-2542), at the junction of Liberation and Quirino boulevards, can only be seen by appointment. It is chock-full of beautiful old polished wood furniture, curios and oil paintings.
Vigan's festivals
Vigan's festivals
The biggest secular festival is the Vigan Town Fiesta, a week-long celebration consisting of carnivals, parades, musical extravaganzas, beauty contests and nightly cultural shows. It culminates on January 25 with the celebration of the conversion of St Paul the Apostle, the town's patron saint. Almost straight after that comes the Kannawidan Ilocos, a recent addition to the festival calendar at the end of January celebrating the culture of the whole of Ilocos Sur, not just Vigan. It includes a "battle of the bands" and a beauty contest.
The Viva Vigan Festival of Arts, held during the first week of May, includes dancing and music, and the highlight is the religious celebration on May 3 (Tres de Mayo), which starts with a Mass at Vigan's cemetery chapel and continues with dancing in Crisologo Street and a kalesa parade. Holy Week is also a special time in Vigan, with candlelit processions through the old streets and a visita iglesia that sees devotees doing the rounds of churches and cathedrals.

Read a hands on review of the new Vandoren saxophone harness.
Print the following sections:
Protect your investment with aPlatinum Coverage warranty plan:
There are no products for the condition you selected. Please make another selection.
This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and returned to us in
virtually new condition, however its packaging may not meet the standards set by
the factory. Also, it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. If you're looking
for a virtually new instrument in possibly less-than-perfect packaging, this is
a great value. We feel so strongly you'll like what you see, we're including our
60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories, to this used product making it a no-risk purchase.
Very Good: This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and shows few,
minor signs of use. In most respects it looks and performs like new and may be considered
equivalent to display units found in retail stores. Its packaging may not meet the
standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty.
Condition 2 products are a terrific value and you can buy with confidence knowing
our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories applies to this used product.
This instrument or product is in good working condition but has one or more cosmetic
flaws beyond those of a Condition 2 product. These flaws are typical of an instrument
or product that's seen normal wear and tear, including incidental scratches, chips,
dings, dents or other imperfections. It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or
Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by
the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is
a great choice if you're looking for performance and value and not as concerned
with cosmetics. You can buy with confidence knowing our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories
applies to this used product.
This instrument or product is not in working condition and needs repair, but can
be brought back to full functionality with replacement of parts or some skilled
repair work. If you are a do-it-yourselfer or know a skilled repair person this
is a terrific value. Condition 4 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with
a manufacturer's warranty and are not returnable.
This instrument or product has been damaged beyond what we judge is reasonably repairable.
It's best used for spare parts or to practice repairs on, and at this price Condition
5 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with a manufacturer's warranty and are
not returnable.
Accidental damage, normal wear and power surges are no longer an issue with these comprehensive and affordable plans. We even pay to ship your gear for repairs. More details.
Covers much more than the original manufacturer's warranty:
Limit of Liability: The least of the cost of (1) authorized repairs, (2) replacement with a product of similar features, (3) reimbursement for authorized repairs or replacement or (4) the price that you paid for the product.
*Limitations and exclusions apply. See terms and conditions for program details

Perfect for professional musicians, marching band saxophonists, and anyone else who plays saxophone.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I tried one on, played my tenor, and sold. While using my standard neck strap I found I was fatigued and neck strain. Really needed to do something so I tried various harnesses available. Vandoren's was the best, easy moving, nice setup that I could have ever tried. No more stress, just pleasure of playing. Highly Recommended
I love the new Harness strap. When you put on a suit coat and then the old style shoulder harness strap, it always feels like an old man bra. It restricts your breathing and looks funny.
When wearing the Vandoren Harness I get the look of a standard neck strap when I put on a dress coat. All you see is the strap coming from my neck area - small and simple. What you don't see is the weight of the Bari Sax is spread from my shoulders down my back to my waist. This strap became my immediate favorite for the Bari Sax and it looks great with a coat on! 4 hours of standing with the Bari is easier than ever and no body knows I have a harness on!!
Excellent harness; it is an extremely well engineered support for tenor and baritone saxes. One caution, mine got lodged in a tone hole in my tenor while storing it in the bell (in the harness soft neoprene case). I had stored it this way for over a year and never had a problem. The instrument tech had to sacrifice the harness, there was no way to dislodge it without destroying it. I am buying a new one and will exercise extreme caution storing it. But is well worth the investment. Five stars.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

The Hunger Project-Bangladesh Loses a Dear Colleague
Mohammed Shiraj
On December 31, The Hunger Project-Bangladesh team lost a very dear colleague, Mohammed Shiraj. He leaves behind his wife, a daughter (11) and son (8), and was the sole provider for his family.
During his six years on staff, Shiraj traveled all over the country, driving Badiul Majumdar, Vice President and Country Director to high-level meetings and village council visits, in addition to performing tasks in the office and field. As Badiul said in his email, "Shiraj died after being ill for several weeks. It is devastating not only for his family but also for all of us. He was also my almost constant companion on the road."
Shiraj will be remembered for his unyielding commitment to the end of hunger in Bangladesh; his willingness to always be of assistance; his sincerity, honesty and his wonderful smile. He will be missed not just by his own family but by his Hunger Project family around the world.
