Self Guided Cycling Holidays Explained
On all our trips we provide comprehensive route notes (tested by a member of the Exodus team) with a detailed km by km description, advise of excursions en route and recommend restaurants for lunch and dinner. The formula is simple – your luggage is transported every day between the hotels and we provide high quality bikes through local suppliers. All our bikes come fitted with panniers or bike bags, puncture repair kit, pump and lock and if there are any problems we have 24hr emergency support available.
Our self-guided routes are some of our least demanding trips, so ideal for first-timers on a cycling holiday. However, on many days our route notes offer the option of a long and a short route, and of course there is nothing stopping stronger riders improvising a little using the maps provided.
If you fancy the challenge of cycling along one of Europe's longest rivers then the lush green valleys of northern Austria and Hungarian Lowlands offer a wealth of history, culture and beautiful peaceful scenery. The route along the Danube (Trip code: LSV) passes by the only Trappist monastery in Austria, the stunning vineyards of the Wachau region and the beautiful city of Budapest.
For a taste of some of the world's most famous and delightful wine (always soothing after a day's ride) Burgundy (Trip code: LSQ), the Loire (Trip code: LSR) and Provence will wetten your appetite. Cycle Provence and the Luberon (Trip code: LSM) is our most challenging self-guided trip but also the most rewarding. Riding through the rolling hills of the Luberon past the stunning Provencal hilltop villages of Lauris, Lourmarin and Simiane-la-Rotunde provides breathtaking scenery across the plains of Provence.
There are a couple of rest days to enjoy the thriving market town of Forcalquier or even attempt a legend of the Tour de France – the majestic Mont Ventoux. Although you may want to steer clear of the local wine and pastisse before climbing 1200m to the summit, where the spectacular views stretch from Mount Viso marking the Italian frontier to Mont Blanc.
Another region famous for wine is the hinterland of Venice, the Veneto (Trip code: LSP), and its gentle landscapes are easy to explore by bike. Combined with a visit to Venice, one of the most beautiful and fascinating cities in the world, we discover many sides of Italy, passing ancient churches, farming communities and vineyards. The route is generally undemanding with a few steep but short climbs with the opportunity to visit the first covered theatre in Europe in Vicenza and the famous Basilica of St Anthony in Padua.
And if you've sampled enough wine by now then spend a week exploring mediaeval villages and ancient volcanoes along the bici carril (a famous disused railway line) from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean (Trip code: LSY).
Our wide range of self-guided tours allow you to discover the culture of a country, enjoy superb scenery and the freedom of the road!

Poll: Most People Don't Blame Humans for Global Warming
Only 43 percent of likely voters say global warming is caused by humans, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey. The findings undermine global warming activists' claims that skeptics are outside the realm of public opinion and elected officials should enact costly global warming programs.
According to an August Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 likely voters, 43 percent say global warming is caused by humans, 41 percent say global warming is caused by planetary trends, and 6 percent say global warming is caused by other reasons. The percentage of people blaming humans for global warming is down from 48 percent a year ago.
Only 35 percent of likely voters consider global warming a very serious issue, according to Rasmussen. This is consistent with other poll results, such as the Pew Research Center reporting in April 2013 Americans rank global warming dead last among 18 surveyed political priorities. Pew reported Americans rank such mundane issues as "dealing with global trade" and "improving infrastructure" as higher priorities than "dealing with global warming."

Mark Wert reports:
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center plans to add 28 in-patient beds in a new fourth story atop its Liberty Township building, more than tripling the number of in-house beds there.
In addition, Children's will build a proton therapy facility to research and treat cancer at the site, located northwest of the intersection of Interstate 75 and Ohio 129.
Total cost of the expansion, scheduled to be completed by 2016, is $162 million, officials said Tuesday
Some patients undergoing cancer treatment at the proton facility would be housed in the additional new hospital beds.
There are currently are only 11 proton facilities nationwide. The closest to Cincinnati is at IU Health in Bloomington, Indiana.
Some doctors prefer proton therapy because it can be focused on a tumor and do little or no damage to surrounding healthy tissues. The therapy reduces "the risks for long-term complications, and potentially … (improves) tumor control, which makes it particularly beneficial for the care of children," Children's spokesman Jim Feuer said in an e-mail. There are few, if any, side effects from proton therapy compared to more conventional cancer treatments.
But the treatment is controversial because the equipment is expensive to install. In addition, while clinical trials comparing protons to standard X-ray radiotherapy are under way, "virtually none have shown proton beam radiation to be more effective at controlling cancer than X-ray radiation," according to the American Association for Cancer Research.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau is moving into a new, larger office at Appalachian Power Park.
CVB board members approved the move to 601 Morris St. at their board meeting Wednesday.
"It's a good move," said Charleston Mayor Danny Jones. "It doesn't have to be permanent."
The CVB's nine workers call the Charleston Civic Center home. "I've been in meetings there and you feel like you are in a sardine can," Jones said.
With upcoming Civic Center renovations and construction, coupled with the size of the CVB, the move makes sense, Jones said. He added the city owns both buildings.
CVB President Alisa Bailey said the new office space is almost double the current size but will cost an additional $1,400 per month. She hopes to be moved into the new office by the end of the calendar year.
"We have had space constraints for a while," Bailey said. "We did try and look at different options."
The Gazette reported a potential CVB move into the same office building back in 2005, but that move never materialized.
The new second-floor office space was previously occupied by another business.
Bailey said that made the move more appealing because they won't have much to do to ready the space for business.
"It is a relief for us because we can move forward with our strategy," Bailey said.
CVB's current home lacks windows and employees can only fit one person at a time in their office. Bailey added the CVB would continue to have a presence at Charleston Civic Center events.

With the advent of iTunes 4.9 and its support for podcasts, Apple has now become a purveyor of a wide variety of audio programs. From amateur audioblogs to professional radio programs, covering subjects from science to business, from sports to news, there are over 3,000 podcasts available for free through the iTunes Music Store. And if that wasn't enough, there's a pretty big selection of pornographic content, too.
Though salty language in adult-oriented podcasts isn't entirely unexpected, some of these podcasts can get seriously raunchy - in language, subject matter, or both. Names such as Open Source Sex, Rope Weekly (about bondage), GayPorn Talk, or Seduction & Strip Clubs may catch your attention, and none of these podcasts have Explicit warnings. In the music world, Apple has been very careful to include Explicit warnings for music with lyrics that might raise the ire of parents, but I have only seen a handful of podcasts with Explicit warnings, such as the popular yet irreverent Dawn and Drew Show. All of the podcasts marked Explicit - we counted a total of six as of this writing - seem to be more so because of the occasional censored word, rather than truly pornographic content.
Is this a problem? Apple's iTunes Music Store is designed to appeal to a young demographic, and it surprises me to think that Apple added all of these podcasts without screening their content in any way. In some cases, the names of the podcasts or descriptions of the episodes are dead giveaways: "check out two dirty stories about couples that cook up some very naughty holiday surprises…"
Now I'm no prude, nor a member of any religious or political group crusading against pornography - from my perspective, consenting adults have an indisputable right to choose what they listen to. Moreover, I have no issue with podcasts legitimately presented as educational - as are some of the ones in the screenshot above of the podcast directory section called Health > Sexuality.
However, as a father, I'm very disturbed that Apple, a company I've trusted to have good judgment, seems not to be concerned about the presence of pornography in their podcasts. At least, Apple should provide Explicit warnings on all these podcasts; at best, they should sort through the podcasts they have added (because Apple expressly chose to include these podcasts when launching iTunes 4.9) to weed out what is incompatible with a substantial fraction of their users. Users can subscribe to individual podcasts by adding entering their URLs in a dialog, so those people who want to listen to this type of audio content can do so with no restriction.
Freedom of choice is very important. But free access to porn through a portal designed to attract young users is a big error of judgment. Apple needs to be more responsible about the type of content it provides - not to censor it, but to appropriately label and restrict its access.

I'm the first one to criticize a move toward censorship, but youhave a VERY valid point here.
I included an "Explicit" tag in my RSS feed, and if you sub to my podcast you'll see an Explicit tag next to the title.
I assume this means that when iTunes picks me up for the directory, I will also be labeled as explicit. Which is the way I want it, I even have a disclaimer at the beginning of my show. I'm rated Podcast MA.
Posted by stark23x on June 30, 2005 at 2:10 AM (PST)
I am _not_ suggesting that Apple censor anything. However, I am suggesting that they provide clear indications, and, perhaps even a parental control function to block "explicit" podcasts. And it's not "explicit" that bothers me; it's porn. I can deal with a few four-letter words; I find it strange that most of the podcasts marked explicit on iTunes are comedy or talk podcasts, rather than real porn.
I didn't raise the question in the article, but I wonder what liability Apple has regarding such content. They are not simply providing a link, such as Google does when you search. They have made a selection, and are actually providing the content.
And, again, lots of kids use iTunes…
Posted by Kirk McElhearn on June 30, 2005 at 4:08 AM (PST)
First, I object to you including Feast of Fools in your anti-porn article. That podcast in many ways is a homosexual (I can't even use the word "g*a*y" on this site) oriented version of Dawn and Drew, not a porn show. They may have brought up the subject of porn on occasion, but so do Dawn and Drew themselves. It's part of their conversations, like many poscasts and in real life. I do agree that it may need the explicit warning.
Giving parents the option of censoring certain podcasts is fine with me, but in your original article you did say "they should sort through the podcasts they have added to weed out what is incompatible with a substantial fraction of their users" WEED OUT—That sounds like censorship to me. And this can get very subjective. There are "fractions" of people out there that, for example, would rank anything homosexual related with the likes of porn.
One of the great things about podcasts in my opinion is being able to express yourself freely to a large audience without restriction. Every group deserves a voice. Apple has definately opened a Pandora's box here, but if there is going to be any blocking, it should be an option for the parents and no "weeding out" directly from Apple.
Posted by swirlboy on June 30, 2005 at 6:49 AM (PST)
Let me make two points. First, I did not "include" Feast of Fools in the article; it appears in a screen shot that shows some of the podcasts I _did_ mention in the article. Second, censorship is not about limiting what you choose to offer to customers. Apple could choose to include every podcast in the world; they haven't done so.
I'd also like to point out that Steve Jobs, in an interview with ABC News, said the following:
"Except that— on our directory— you know, we're not— we're not allowing any pornography. And we're not allowing— you know, copyright infringement and things like that." (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=892335&page=2)
So something is clearly amiss. Has Steve Jobs publically said, in your logic, that he is censoring podcasts?
Let's face it - there's a lot of porn out there, but it's up to responsible media to not disseminate it. Personally, I have no problems with gay podcasts, as long as they are not pornographic.
Posted by Kirk McElhearn on June 30, 2005 at 7:02 AM (PST)
Hmm… sorry, I see what you mean about using that word g*a*y - I didn't know that would be censored.
Posted by Kirk McElhearn on June 30, 2005 at 7:03 AM (PST)
Apple is a private company; it has every right to censor or remove podcasts it feels could hurt its image.
Posted by jmaurand on June 30, 2005 at 7:04 AM (PST)
It's not even about censoring or removing - it's about choosing what they offer. In this case, iTunes is a conduit. It's not like Apple is merely providing links to web sites; they are providing the content.
As you say, they are free to choose - they don't have to remove, they can simply decide to not add certain types of podcasts, which, according to Steve Jobs, is a decision the company has made.
And if there's a Pandora's box, it's more on Apple's end - if they're going to police this, even just for copyright infringement issues, they've got a lot of work ahead of them.

Shrug… Has anyone tried to download these if they are set-up on an "allowance" acct? Since you need to be 18+ to have a credit card of your own, perhaps downloading of explicit Podcasts is blocked by those w/o credit cards? Anyone try this?
Has anyone tried downloading podcasts in iTunes that isn't setup with an acct of any kind?
If parents trust their kids with credit cards, why not sexually explicit material?
Posted by jwdsail on June 30, 2005 at 7:28 AM (PST)
You don't need an account to download podcasts.
Posted by Kirk McElhearn on June 30, 2005 at 7:30 AM (PST)
As a father, I think if my child is old enough to know what "Explicit" means, he's also old enough to know that titles like "GayPornTalk," anything with the word "Sex" in it, and so on, is off limits. A child that's too young to understand "Explicit" shouldn't be using the internet unsupervised.
Lumping all of these shows under the "Porno" headline, while sure to generate traffic, seems disingenuous. I hope that you, as a self-appointed guardian of public decency, know the difference between discussing pornography, fetishes, etc, and material whose sole intent is to arouse the libido.
Posted by Sigh... on June 30, 2005 at 7:54 AM (PST)
I think it's refreshing that Apple's not (at least yet) censoring what they offer.
I do think they need to offer the explicit tag; that's fair enough.
But it's nice that they're not being too Disney about this thing.
Posted by mattwardfh in Texas on June 30, 2005 at 8:25 AM (PST)
There is a podcast that I have been listening too called insomnia radio, and yesterday it appeared with an explicit tag on iTunes. Its funny, cause I haven't heard any bad language and definitaly nothing that is controversial, then you hear about these other podcasts like the ones mentioned in this article that don't pretend to be inappropriate.
Yea they should figure out a way to do a little censoring, especially since kids could be listening to this stuff.
Posted by zboy on June 30, 2005 at 8:58 AM (PST)
Labeling explicit content seems like a no-brainer, and the point is well-taken.
Equating explicit content with pornography seems sloppy and uninformed at best, disingenuous at worst, and inflammatory in either case.

Unfortunately, the word g*ay has been used in a derogatory manner numerous times and thus has been added to the word censor list.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on June 30, 2005 at 9:46 AM (PST)
I think that part of the problem is podcasters are not that terribly technical, in order to designate your podcast as "explicit" you need to add a tag to your rss feed, which most podcasters do not know how to do. To my knowledge all of the major rss providers (blogger, feedburner etc) have yet to enble the new "itunes" tags in thier rss feed. My assumption is that most content that is explicit will be marked as such in due order.
I am actually quite disappointed with the iTMS, mostly because it seems to think "podcasting" is repackage morning drive time radio. One of my favorite podcasts (Feast of Fools), are in your screenshot above, the rest are mostly hidden under "Heath > Sexuality" heading!! My problem is that they buried all the "good" stuff and put crap on the front page. I don't want apple making decision on what I should have easy access to, because we obviously have different tastes.
Regarding good parenting, if you feel that your child should not be listening to that content I would recommend a good child filter. iTMS just is a directory, all the content comes from the origin site which could be easily blocked.
Posted by CKerCA on June 30, 2005 at 12:41 PM (PST)
As the producer of Rope Weekly, one of the podcasts you mentioned, I would like to respond.
Apple did not consult with me at all before including my podcast in their directory. I am not sure who it is that actually submitted the listing to them, but if they had bothered to look at the other places where the podcast has been registered, such as Podcast Pickle, they would have seen "Adult" and "X" ratings on it. Apple did provide a spec for me to alter my rss feed, which includes the "explicit" tag—and as soon as I got it, I changed my RSS feed (http://www.graydancer.com/ropeweekly/rss.xml) to reflect it.
I also used Apple's comment section on each podcast to let them know that I was the producer of that podcast and that it needed to be labeled "explicit" as soon as possible.
Neither the RSS feed nor Apple's response seems to be happening soon. I realize they are under a lot of pressure with thousands of podcasts, but I agree with you—if they were going to include my podcast, they should have "explicit" on it, because it is.
I am also a father, and a proponent of free speech, and I have no problem with labels like "explicit" to enable parents to police what their children listen to. That is our job. I can only hope that the Apple techs catch up soon.

Kirk said "...it's about choosing what they offer. In this case, iTunes is a conduit. It's not like Apple is merely providing links to web sites; they are providing the content."
If you're going to editorialize, please understand the subject better! So far what I'm understanding about iTunes and Podcasting is:
1. Apple _doesn't_ provide the content, They provide the directory, which links to RSS feeds hosted by the Podcasters themselves (or a service they're signed up with). So they _are_ just links!
2. Apple's specifications for Podcasters editing their feeds for iTunes didn't come out until _after_ the public release of iTunes, and now some Podcasters are having problems with them. It is at least partially expected by Apple that Podcasters create feeds with iTunes compatable ID3 tags (which is where the "explicit" tags should be residing).
3. Some of the corrected feeds (ones with properly edited iTunes ID3 tags) are slow to update, probably because the service is being overloaded by curious listeners.
Is Apple responsible? Well, only so much as one can be with a directory of 3000 Podcasts that have not yet been fully screened. Realistically, they haven't been screened, since Apple has kept the development aspect of iTunes extremely secret, even from the Podcasters themselves. Unfortunately, when Apple claims to be screening and filtering their directory for explicit content, then that makes it Apple's job to make sure it does it. No matter how unrealistic!

> 1. Apple _doesn't_ provide the content, They provide the directory, which links to RSS feeds hosted by the Podcasters themselves (or a service they're signed up with). So they _are_ just links!
Technically, you are correct. But in reality, this is not the case. iTunes provides the content - it comes from the iTunes directory, and ends up in iTunes. While Apple is not hosting the content, the result is the same as if they were.
Were they simply providing links to web sites, on which you subscribed or copied URLs to subscribe, I'd agree with you. But Apple is providing the entire process, from discovery to reception.

The commenter Sigh… said:
"As a father, I think if my child is old enough to know what "Explicit�? means, he's also old enough to know that titles like "GayPornTalk,�? anything with the word "Sex�? in it, and so on, is off limits. A child that's too young to understand "Explicit�? shouldn't be using the internet unsupervised. "
So if he's old enough to know what it is, he's less likely to actually pay attention to it? Riiiight. That's some scary logic there, my friend.
But hey, I'm sure your child knows to look away from Playboy, and skip over the late night cable channels if given the opportunity to view either, as well.
As someone who works for a kids toy company, I'm pretty shocked as well that Apple didn't included at least the impression of a kid "protection".
As far as "censorship" goes… all I have to say to those who call Apple's selection policy censorship… blah blah blah. They can choose to "censor" (or in reality, "select) whoever they want or don't want.

Thanks for the condescending deflection!
*reads article entitled "Apple's Porno Podcasts"*
"there's a pretty big selection of pornographic content… some of these podcasts can get seriously raunchy - in language, subject matter, or both. Names such as Open Source Sex, Rope Weekly (about bondage), GayPorn Talk, or Seduction & Strip Clubs may catch your attention"
These all sound like adult-oriented informational programming. The only potentially pornographic content you mention is whatever's described as "check out two dirty stories about couples that cook up some very naughty holiday surprises…"
I haven't listened to that one, so I don't know if the naughtiness described is of the PG-13 or XXX variety.
Posted by rogermexico on July 1, 2005 at 11:46 AM (PST)
I'm not going to bother to weigh in on the subject of whether Apple should provide certain podcasts or not. What I would like to point out, however, is the grevious misuse of the word censorship in some of the posts above.
Apple is a private company and as such is free to provide or not provide content or feeds to content as they see fit (morality and responsiblity are wholely different issues). If they should decide not to do so, their not choosing to provide information/connection to provocative, explicit or pornographic content is no more censorship than their providing of said content is a statement in support of free speech.
If Apple chooses not to offer certain content, it hardly means that content disappears or can't exist. If they do offer particular content, it doesn't mean that they are doing so for any political or social reason or commentary (most likely they are not; hello financial motives!)
Censorship is something a government imposes upon a people, media, etc that restricts their lawful ability to speak and communicate freely. It has nothing to do with any private or corporate entity (no matter how powerful or influential) excercising control of its sphere of influence.

I guess there are different ways of interpreting "censorship", but I would say it extends further than what punxking is arguing for. From wikipedia, we have
"Others point out the suppression of access to the means of dissemination of ideas by governmental bodies such as the FCC in the United States of America, the CRTC in Canada, or a newspaper that refuses to run commentary the publisher disagrees with, or a lecture hall that refuses to rent itself out to a particular speaker, or an individual refusing to finance that lecture."
According to this quote, Apple would censor material.
Personally, I would like Apple's listing to reflect a wide variety of podcasts (properly marked, of course)—society is varied and when you start to apply filters it is easy to go wrong. Maybe they can include an "safe surf" option a la Google's image search? However, the best is a conversation with your kids. They will stumble on any type of content as soon as they use a browser.

It's pretty funny: a podcast called Sex Talk is at 339 on the iTunes top 100. Sex Talk is a show about gender politics, with a pro-feminist stance. All those people downloading it thinking it's podcast porn are in for a shock

oops. I meant to say at #39

I think Apple should build in a feature to "Add Custom Podcast" in iTunes where a user could just type in the URL of an XML file and it would act the same as a Podcast listed in the iTunes directory. From my understanding of how iTunes Podcast support works, there shouldn't be any technical issues with this.
Then Apple can be more liberal with what they exclude from the listing. If people want porn, they can find it in the more underground parts of the web. In my opinion, porn should not get any more mainstream. If people really want it, they can find it. It becomes an issue when people (kids, adults that choose not view/listen to porn, etc.) stumble across it. Especially for people with addictions, etc. Now that porn has become so much more mainstream, it's hard to get away from it if you want to.

Don't blame the casts of the owners of the feed - Apple added the feeds in their directory withouth consulting 99% of the podcast community, and added iTunes specific tags for it (again without consulting or warning the community), so there is not way you could have known, unless you were financially in bed with them like PodShow - hence why Dawn and Drew was tagged and others weren't)
It's Apple's fault - and they're very slow in updating their feeds or adding any…

I agree with punxking's interpretation of censorship. I take Wikipedia information with a grain of salt, since anyone can go there and make a change. Only governments cannot censor; remember, the First Amendment starts: "Congress shall make no law…". It says nothing about private entities, companies, people, or technically even newspapers.
The original topic had nothing to do with censorship, in any case. It was a simple call to Apple to make sure that objectionable content was marked as such, so that parents can protect their children from that which they should not hear.
There is nothing in current law that I know of (IANAL) that would prevent someone from refusing to finance any conference with which he disagrees, or renting meeting space to a group with which he disagrees (and therefore the source for the noted Wikipedia entry is likely wrong). The VFW isn't about to rent to the local tree-hugging peaceniks; the local Knights of Columbus or Shriner's Club certainly won't allow your neighborhood Planned Parenthood office to hold an anti-birth^H^H^H^H pro-abort^H^H^H^H pro-"choice" rally in their meeting halls.
Private entities censor each other all the time, and it's perfectly legal and ethical. It's only local, state, and federal governments who are constitutionally bound against prohibiting free speech. Apple's perfectly within its right to list what it wants and not what it doesn't. But Apple still needs to tag what may be objectionable by the majority of its user base. If they do, that may actually (in theory) give Apple some distance from cries of censorship, because they'll be allowing end users to do the censoring privately, rather than on a more public forum.

Oh, BTW, if any of you listen to This Week in Tech (the old Screen Savers guys), it turns out that Apple DOES host the content. Well, according to Leo in the 7/31 podcast, Apple actually caches the podcasts from each feed it lists, so that when you download from the ITMS podcast store, you're actually getting your podcast from Apple's servers.
Leo specifically said that it throws off his estimates of their listener count, and that it indicates a higher-than-realized estimate.

Passing through the gatesAfter your hour-long queue during high season, you will have to go through a security check, passing your belongings through an x-ray scanner. Objectionable items need to be placed in the left-luggage, but this is not very safe, as there are no locks at the storage and any tourist can claim to own your item and walk out with it. So it's best not to bring too many things with you on your visit. Only your valuables, like your cash and passport, will do.
If you'd like to bring your camera into the museum, you may, but you'd have to pay to purchase a permit for its use inside. This is in the form of a sticker, which needs to be placed on the camera to be used within its premises. Take note that photography is only allowed between the hours of 9am to 2pm. Flash photography is not allowed at any time. Costs for the permit range between EGP$10 for automatics to EGP$175 for pro SLRs. Video cameras cost EGP$100. EGP$10 is roughly equal to US$1.61. EGP$100 is equal to $16. (As of the end of Oct 2004).
There is a small souvenir shop to the right of the entrance offering reproductions of some of the more popular artifacts exhibited in the museum, including the blue fertility hippos made popular by the Metropolitan Museum store. You can also purchase cartouches spelling out your name in Egyptian hieroglyphics. But for these, you'd need to return after your visit for them. So if you're interested, place your order before you tour the place. There are other shops offering the same, but likely for a fraction less. Other collectibles popular with tourists are little lapis lazuli scarabs (as good-luck charms) and basalt Bastet cat statues.
It costs EGP$20 per person, with an extra charge of EGP$40 for the Royal Mummy Room; children are half price.
Phone: +20 (0)2 579 6974; Fax: +20 (0)2 579 4596.
The museum is found on Mariette Pasha Street, on the north side of Tahrir Square, right next to the Nile Hilton Hotel, whose sign is very prominently displayed as you come onto the roundabout.
Opening hours of the museum are 9am to 6:30pm daily, with the last admission at 6pm sharp. During Ramadan, it closes at 3pm.
From journal Phascinating Pharoahs
Outgrowing the two homes it was previously housed in, the museum then settled on its present, purpose-built premises in 1902. It has more than 120,000 items on display and is rumoured to have another 150,000 stored in the basement!
The pride of the museum is without doubt the collection of artifacts recovered from the tomb of Tut-ankh-amun. However, that is not all the musuem is famous for, as it also houses excellent pieces from every period of ancient Egyptian history, dating from as far back as the Narmer Palette (c. 3100 BC) through 2nd-century AD portraits of the Graeco-Roman era.
Located on two levels, the artifacts on the ground floor are organised in a somewhat chronological order, running clockwise from the entrance and atrium, while the first-floor collection is arranged by themes. The central hall houses a large monumental statuary. While not particularly large, the museum is densely packed with artifacts, seemingly displayed haphazardly, but there is a method to the madness. Anybody with more than a passing interest in ancient Egypt will need more than one visit to take in everything.
During peak tourist seasons, the museum is busy with long queues to enter, and on the inside, even longer waiting lines just to see Tut-ankh-amun's funeral mask. The life-sized gold mask is just one of 1,700 items retrieved from the tomb. To view the mask at some leisure, it is best to visit just as the museum opens or late in the afternoon and make straight for the boy king's galleries on the first floor, then visiting the rest afterward.
For main highlights besides the Tut-ankh-amun Galleries, be sure to see the Fayoum Potraits, which depict remarkably lifelike Egyptians from the Graeco-Roman period. There is also an exhibit of exquisite ancient Egyptian jewellery, with necklaces made with beads of gold and lapis lazuli from around the 11th century BC. Also, be sure to visit the Amarna Room, with exhibits from Akhenaten's rule. During the 15-year reign of this radical king, not only was the old religion abandoned, but also was its art. A new style developed in which figures were depicted with elongated heads and protruding bellies. If you follow a clockwise direction, you will finish the ground floor tour in the wing where you'll meet Prince Rahotep and his bride Nofret, two life-size limestone statues (c. 2620BC) which were found in their mastaba near the Meidum Pyramid in Fayoum. You will also see the statue of Ka-Aper, whose eyes seem to be glaring at you with their copper rims, corneas of clear rock crystal, and whites of opaque quartz, drilled and filled with black paste!

69. Omer Asik, Houston Rockets (C, 27)
2012-13 stats: 30.0 MPG, 10.1 PPG, 11.7 RPG, 1.1 BPG, 54.1 FG%
2012-13 advanced stats: 14.9 PER, 5.5 Win Shares, +4.5 RAPM
The Rockets have floated the idea of testing out how Asik and Dwight Howard, two traditional centers, work together. The conventional response to the concept seems to be skepticism, but it's clear where Houston is coming from: Asik boasted a +5.9 net rating last season, tops among Rockets starters, and his +4.5 RAPM ranked in the top 20 league-wide. That's real impact, and returning him to the reserve role he played in Chicago for two seasons would seem to be a major waste. No matter how the lineup combinations pan out, a hardworking 7-footer who puts up rebounding numbers on both sides of the court is of great use to a high-octane, three-happy Rockets offense that won't need his scoring much, if at all, this season.
63. Andre Drummond, Detroit Pistons (C, 20)
2012-13 stats: 20.7 MPG, 7.9 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 1.6 BPG, 60.8 FG%
2012-13 advanced stats: 21.6 PER, 4.5 Win Shares, +1.9 RAPM
Drummond is far and away one of the most difficult players to place on a list like this. His ridiculous per-minute impact as a teenager — and all the upside it foretells– suggests a player who could conceivably be regarded as a top-15 asset right now. The Pistons would reject straight-up offers for Drummond involving a good 30 players listed above him in this exercise, but the UConn product and iCarly fanboy still has plenty to prove during his sophomore season. Was his midseason back injury a one-time fluky hiccup? (He looked very good during the Orlando Summer League.) Can he handle full-time starter's minutes for a team with playoff aspirations? Can the 37.1 percent free-throw shooter avoid falling victim to endless Hack-a-Shaqing? Can he team with Greg Monroe and Josh Smith to make the jumbo lineup a functional concept? Can his evident potential as a traditional back-line stopper translate into team-wide improvement for a Detroit squad that ranked No. 23 in points allowed per possession last season?

Ellis Island was formally opened on January 1, 1892. Over the years more than 20 million individuals were processed through the stations. When the U.S. entered World War II in 1941, Ellis Island became a Coast Guard Station. It closed November 12, 1954, and was declared a National Park in 1956. After years of disuse it was restored and in 1990, it was reopened as a museum. The Library has several ways for you to trace your ancestors' journey through Ellis Island.

On January 1, 1911, Hank Greenberg, Baseball Hall of Fame first baseman and Tiger outfielder, was born in New York City. One of the games' most prodigious sluggers, Greenberg hit 331 home runs and drove in 1,276 runs in only nine full seasons. Baseball's first Jewish superstar entered the Army after playing only 19 games in 1941, and did not return to the Detroit Tigers until midway through the 1945 season. His grand slam on that season's last day won the pennant for the Tigers and propelled them toward a World Series triumph. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1956. We will all be looking forward to an exciting Tigers' baseball season this year, with Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and Austin Jackson! Let's hope that 2013 brings the Tigers plenty of happiness!
The North American International Auto Show will be held January 14 - 27. This is a wonderful time to go look at the new shiny cars and learn about new innovations. Stop by the Library and look at Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Road and Track, and Automotive News for news about the Car and Truck of the year. Let's hope GM, Chrysler or Ford can win the top spots!

As proof that the ideas of A Unified Theory of a Law systematically arrange themselves into a coherent legal ideology, a table has been created showing the connections amongst the three permutations of a law, who decides whether or not to engage upon a course of conduct, the two polarities of conduct, the metaphors that help us understand the opinions of a Lawmaker, the opinions of a Lawmaker themselves, and the vehicles that convey the opinions.
An analogy helpful to understand what a Lawmaker does in the process of making a Law is currency. The currency that a Lawmaker gets to "spend" during the process of making a law consists of three (3) coins. The names of the three (3) coins are:
A Lawmaker engages in lawmaking by "applying" one of the three coins to conduct flowing from a Source to a Recipient through circumstances. The three (3) coins are the only things that a Lawmaker can "spend" in making a law.
Hence, it is helpful to keep these four objects in mind. Three coins and one instance of conduct flowing from Source to Recipient through circumstances. The process of Lawmaking involves these four objects.
The doctrine of Occam's Razor holds that the simplest solution is often the best solution. Therefore, if three (3) coins are sufficient to give our minds a high fidelity model of the lawmaking process then there is no need for any more. In short, any additional "coins" would be counterfeit.

Opinions on using a y-link front on a truggy
I've been pondering making a y-link in the front of my Toyota truggy, what are your thoughts and opinions on these? It seems easy and the 4+ lift grand Cherokees have these from rc... Never rode in one and don't know how hard it would be on drivetrain. Let me know your idea's.

The hiems from ruff stuff are amazing, 7/8 by 3/4 cryo+heat treat chromo ends, 70 bucks for lh/rh pair w/bungs & lock nuts and misalignment spacers, I got- 24' of 1.75-.025 wall Dom already and my whole rear suspension is built off of their brackets and hiems...I'd like a few more people to chime in, I don't see why it wont work out good but I HAVE to be sure.

Stick with the 3-link, radius arm or Y-link setups are a comprimise for easy packaging.
'46CJ2A, '47CJ2A, '48CJ2A, '50M38, '52M38A1, '62CJ3B, '62CJ5, '65CJ5, (2) '66CJ5's, '67CJ5, '67CJ101 '69CJ5, '69J3000, '70CJ101, '74DJ5, '73CJ5, '74CJ5, '77CJ5, '78CJ5, '78CJ7, '78Waggy, '83CJ7 (2) '95YJ's, '97XJ...One of them runs, kinda. |

I've got y-links on the front of my grand, but they are custom made and really long. 2" .250 wall lowers and 1.75" .188 wall uppers. I don't drive it on the road more than a few miles (42" tires aren't cheap) but the previous owner and I haven't had any problems. I think that they are better suited to a off road only rig than a daily driver.
Edit... if you are looking for cost savings, a set up like mine would be just as much or more (2 extra suspension joints) than a three link setup. If I were to build this rig it would have been 3 or 4 linked. My next build will not have this set up.

Kindle: Great gift for Washington's Birthday?
As reported by The Wall Street Journal this week, Amazon.com's e-book reader, the Kindle, is out of stock.
The Journal credits Oprah Winfrey, who recommended the Kindle on her show in October.
I saw this effect myself in the page views for old blog posts here--the daily view count for some of my old Kindle posts, especially my comparison of the Kindle with Sony's Reader, spiked the very next day, and it remains higher today than it was before that show aired.
Amazon's Web site reports delivery delays of 11 weeks to 13 weeks, which means … Read more

He always had the Jamnagar pedigree, though not the affluence. How Ravindra Jadeja, wild child of Indian cricket, doter of horses and a brother answerable to his sister, aspires to become modern-day royalty
The bluest of Jadejas, Jamnagar�s ruling Rajput dynasty, who is Jam Sahib to local residents, still lives in a palace and owns a 45-acre nature reserve, which once housed about 10,000 royal pets, in the city�s centre. Miles away from the trunk of that famous family tree, but distantly connected by a thin off-shoot of a modest sub-branch, are several pleb-Jadejas. Born in a one-room government flat to a nurse and a security guard, �our Jadeja� was one such commoner.
Like the rest of India, aristocracy died long ago in this Gujarat region but an ingrained reverence for the stately second name is alive. So like all Jadejas, Ravindra Jadeja too was called Bapu � derived from baap (father), it is a term of endearment coined for benevolent kings or mass leaders in Saurashtra � and greeted with a �Jai mataji�. �Hello� or �kem cho� are for the masses. Salutations by way of hailing Jamnagar�s revered mother goddess are reserved for the �warrior class�.
It is a different world, this caste-divided, deeply religious land which is littered with history. Time here imitates the slow crawl of life on wide, empty roads snaking through imposing heritage buildings.
Uninfluenced by the lethargy around him, Jadeja took the fast lane to fame. He would go on to master cricket, a game that has a long history in this region, to be a Team India star, man of the tournament at the Champions Trophy that India won in June this year, World No.1 ODI bowler, known television face � and thus modern-day royalty. Ravindrasinh Anirudhsinh Jadeja is the newest name on Jamnagar�s cricketing honours board, one that is topped by a prince whose graceful leg glance made the British go weak in their knees.
Maharaj Ranjitsinhji Jadeja, Ranji to the world and great-granduncle to the present-day Jam Sahib, represented Cambridge, Sussex and England. In a different century, another Jadeja from Jamnagar is a regular with Saurashtra,

Hundreds Tune In to Free Weekly Lectures, Cooking Demonstrations, and Support Group
WASHINGTON—Have diabetes and a good Internet connection? A popular new cyber-support program offered by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) may be all you need to reverse your disease. Each Thursday at 4 p.m., EDT, hundreds of Americans are tuning in to a free video lecture and cooking demonstration presented by a team of PCRM nutrition experts at pcrm.org/diabetes. The focus is on how the right dietary approach can help people manage, and in many cases actually reverse, type 2 diabetes.
Each live class features a lecture on a different topic by nationally recognized nutrition researcher and PCRM president Neal Barnard, M.D., and a cooking demonstration by Dulcie Ward, R.D., one of PCRM's nutritionists. Recent programs have focused on weight control, healthy eating during work, travel, and holidays, and new leads on the cause of type 2 diabetes. The cooking demonstrations feature a diverse range of dishes from Black-Eyed Pea and Sweet Potato Soup to Pasta Primavera. And the weekly event is interactive. Participants can send questions to the PCRM team for a quick response and everyone is encouraged to share their progress. Tech support is also available.
The cyber-support program has grown enormously in popularity since it launched in late 2006. Previous lectures and cooking demonstrations are archived on PCRM's Web site along with a wide array of other resources, including recipes and fact sheets (also available in Spanish). The site also includes a link to the Nutrition Discussion Group where members can exchange information about diabetes. The message board is moderated by PCRM diabetes educator Caroline Trapp, MSN, APRN, BC-ADM, CDE, and dietitians Ward and Susan Levin, M.S., R.D.
PCRM's diabetes program is based on a major clinical study conducted by Dr. Barnard, in conjunction with the University of Toronto and George Washington University, that proved a low-fat vegan diet is more effective at lowering high blood sugar than the standard diabetes diet or oral medications usually recommended. The diet is also effective at lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol and reducing weight.
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in Diabetes Care, a journal of the American Diabetes Association.
Founded in 1985, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a nonprofit health organization that promotes preventive medicine, conducts clinical research, and encourages higher standards for ethics and effectiveness in research.

Inscription on the Danger List
Year: 2000 -2006Threats to the Site:
The sanctuary is threatened by an aquatic fern, Salvinia molesta, which proliferates across the river and invades neighboring Mauritania Diawling park. An attempt biological control - by introducing beetles eating plants supplied by South Africa - has not yielded the expected results.
The national authorities are in favor of registration to facilitate their task and to appeal to donors.
Year: 1984 -1988Threats to the Site:
The Committee was informed by IUCN that the immediate threat posed by the earthen dam upstream from this property had been removed since the recent rains had been sufficiently abundant to wash this temporary dam away. However, the longer term threat posed by the dam to be constructed down-stream still remained and still,seriously jeopardised the future of this site.
