Hi there
I am a 31 yo Australian female going to Tibet. I will be flying in from Moscow to Kathmandu on the 7th Oct and will need to wait in Kathmandu for a couple of days to get a visa. The tour will leave Kathmandu on around the 10/11th and go for about 17-19 days depending on which tour company we go with. We will trek around Kailash, see the Guge Kingdom, Lhasa and end up back in Kathmandu. Looking at around $2000-2005 depending on how many people. We dont have to be the same nationality any more. Please relply to this thread and leave your email if you are interested.
Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but my friend and I are students from New Zealand and we're travelling to Nepal and Tibet in Late June to Mid July. We will be doing our own thing in Nepal but we will travel with a tour guide/company in Tibet. We're looking at touring with the Tibetan Owned company Snow Lion. We would like like to travel in a group, to reduce costs but to also meet new friends.
We're interested in the tour Himalayan Journey and we're just wondering if any of you would like to join us on our Tibetan adventure?
If you have any questions please ask :)
Day 1: Arrive in Lhasa 3658m
Welcome to Lhasa! Transfer to your hotel and get settled.
Day 2: Lhasa
In the morning, visit the Potala Palace, the greatest monumental structure in all of Tibet. The Potala is 13 stories high and holds countless treasures in its many rooms. Built in 637 AD, the Potala has been home to the Dalai Lama lineage for more than a thousand years. Also visit the Jokhang Temple, which is located in Barkhor square in Lhasa. The Barkhor is a famous shopping street filled with goods and souvenirs from Tibet, Nepal, and India. Pilgrims from all over Tibet visit the Barkhor to pray in front of the Jokhang. From the roof of the monastery you will have a view of prostrating pilgrims. Afterwards, explore the old Tibetan quarter. Walk through the market and stop to sip sweet tea at a traditional teahouse.
Day 3: Lhasa
Visit the Norbulingka, the summer palace of the Dalai Lama. Explore the grounds, which include gardens, fountains, and a small zoo. Afterwards, visit Sera monastery, where you can watch monks debate in the courtyard. If you enjoy hiking, walk the hour-long circumambulation path around the monastery complex.
Day 4: Lhasa
Visit Drepung, one of the three most famous monasteries in Lhasa. Drepung is located just outside Lhasa on Gambo Utse Mountain. Once home to as many as 10,000 monks, the enormous monastic complex is the site of many prayer halls, dormitories, and temples. Just below the monastery is the Nechung temple, the former home of the state oracle. Afterwards, visit Ramoche, a small monastery located in the city center. If time allows, explore the alleys of the Tibetan quarter and visit traditional workshops and handicraft stores.
Day 5: Lhasa – Gyantse 3950m, 268km, 5.5 hours
Beginning your adventure in the Himalayas, drive to Gyantse. Along the way cross over the Kamba-La (4794m) and the Karo-La passes (5010m), which boast spectacular views. After Kamba-La, arrive at Yamdrok Lake, a holy turquoise-colored lake with stunning scenery. Stay the night in Gyantse.
Day 6: Gyantse – Shigatse 3836m, 90km, 1.5 hours
In the morning, visit the Pelkor Chode Kumbum and Gyantse Monastery followed by a two hour drive to Shigatse. Here, see the giant Buddha in the famous Tashilhunpo monastery. Time allowing, join pilgrims in walking the long circumambulation path around the monastery, or explore the city streets. Spend the night in Shigatse.
Day 7: Shigatse – Shegar (New Tingri) 4500m, 240km, 4 hours
In the morning, drive to Shegar (4350m) over Tso-La pass (4500m) and Gyatso-La pass (5252m). On the way, if time allows, make an excursion to visit Sakya Monastery (4280m). Sakya Monastery is unique because of its medieval Mongolian architecture. Walk up the kora path alongside the monastery to see the ruins of the older buildings, from which you can see great views of the monastery and surrounding valley. In the afternoon arrive in Shegar. Visit Shegar Monastery or climb up the ruins of Shegar Dzong for beautiful views. Overnight in Shegar.
Day 8: Shegar – Rongbuk Monastery 5000m – Everest Base Camp 5250m, 100km, 8 hours
After passing through scenic valleys and driving over rocky mountains, you will reach Rongbuk Monastery, where you will have a fabulous view of Mt. Everest. Rongbuk monastery is the highest monastery in the world. Rongbuk Monastery to Everest is about 8km, and along the way there are spectacular views of the world's tallest mountain. You can either take a two-hour hike or ride a bus to Everest Base Camp. Stay the night in a warm yak-hair tent guesthouse run by a Tibetan family. (Alternative accommodation: Rongbuk Monastery Guesthouse)
Note: During the off-season, buses do not run and the tent guesthouses are closed.
Day 9: Everest Base Camp – Nepal border (Zhangmu) 2300m, 240km, 10 hours
You will see spectacular Himalayan ranges along the way to Nepal border. Once at the border, cross over, pass through immigration and continue on to Kathmandu, or return to Lhasa.
We have been to 11000 feet, with no problem in South America (two years ago). But when my age of 74 come up
" WOW" you must think twice about high altitudes adventures.
Opinions on Tibet travel for healthy older couple would be appreciated. Please, I do know only I can make that decision but some opinions/ideas might help with decision.
Do I have to get a tour guide to travel in Tibet China? I can't go alone?

This is the most vile concoction I have ever had. I poured this one down the drain rather quickly. I guess I just didn't get the point. The 120 IBU's were not counter balanced by anything making for a nasty taste from start to finish. I'm not normally pissed off finding a beer I don't like but dropping serious coin for this bomber did the trick.

Served in a tulip at Stoddard's in Boston.
Appearance: This beer poured a one finger head that reduced to a thin layer. It is a dark crimson mahogany color with no clarity or vision of bubbles. Nice frothy lacing down the glass as the beer was drank.
Smell: caramel, toffee, raisins, fruity, grassy spicy hops, and cherry.
Taste: Same ad above. Based on the smell, I figured it wouldn't be that sweet. Hoppy bitterness in the end.
Mouthfeel: Silky smooth, full bodied, sipper, low carbonation, and a little booze.
Overall: Pretty nice barleywine. Could use a bit more sweetness, but I'm happy.

2008 vintage. Poured from a 750mL swing-top ceramic bottle into my Dogfish Head oversized snifter.
Sangria body, dark and clear with a soapy finger of beige foam. Soft yet rocky lacing, thin viscous tears, excellent retention.
Deep intense malt and dark fruit aroma with a low spicy/grassy hop note as well. Lovely, inviting, subtle, complex, with restrained alcohol and no signs of oxidation. Leather, toffee, and very faint pipe tobacco as well.
Very uniform flavor profile, dry, leathery, but with plum, blackberry, and burnt sugar notes as well. Mild bitterness that blossoms in the earthy clay-like finish. Black bread, and jam are hinted at as the beer warms.
Creamy, medium-bodied, rich, slightly warming, but without nearly as much heat as the ABV might suggest.
Lacks some of the edge of a fresh bottle, but the age has bound together the disparate flavors into a perfectly harmonious whole. Excellent beer for a rainy day...wish I'd cellared some more (I think this could easily cellar for a few more years without falling off too much).

Served on tap into a goblet.
A- Poured a rich mahogany color with off-white soapy head that left no lace.
S- Lots of malt sweetness in the aroma, cherry, sweet, and toffee.
T- Lots of rich and decadent maltiness, big cherry, raisin, caramel, toffee, very bready, and light citrusy notes on the finish. Moderate bitterness, it does have some hop character but is very much malt forward.
M- Very full-bodied and chewy, some warming, and some stickiness.
O- I am not a big barleywine guy and a little goes a long way with me, but this really was a dessert beer. I don't like overly sweet beers so the wallop of hop bitterness kept it from being too sweet for me, but I doubt I would ever want more than 10 ounces at once.

At the 2009 CRS conference (Lancaster, SC), Steve Miller presented a paper entitled, "Universe in Near Real Time." This paper suggests the possibility that the astronomical universe is actually being observed in near real time. Miller gives scriptural evidence for this proposal in Revelation 8:12. He envisions an envelope surrounding the solar system in which light travels at velocity c. But outside this envelope the speed is nearly infinite. Observationally, it is readily seen that the light-time effect refutes this idea. We cite observations from the literature as well as our recent observations of FY Bootis, a very shortperiod binary, which displays a sinusoidal orbital light-time effect (an O-C curve). The light-time effect in this system is due to a close binary orbited by a third body. If the scenario of the "Universe in Near Real Time" were true, the O-C curve should be a straight line fit instead of a sinusoid and we could not make the determination given here. This is an example of how real astronomical observations can aid the creation community in testing proposed models, and it stresses our need for our own professional creationary astronomical observatory.

Providence Canyon State Park, Stewart County, Georgia (U.S.A.), and the surrounding vicinity provide an excellent location in which to define sediments and fossils within a Bible-based framework of Earth history. The results of this investigation indicate that the strata reflect the transition from a middle-shelf subaqueous marine setting to subaerial conditions. Within the Flood framework, these sediments and strata record the transition from the Middle/Upper Flood Event Divisions to the Lower/Middle Ice Age Divisions. The stratigraphy within the study area indicates that Floodwater retreated from this part of Georgia as a function of sea-level decline and the concomitant uplift of the coastal plain across southwestern Georgia.
The closing decades of the eighteenth century saw the beginnings of modern geohistory. Recent work by historians of science have broken through the persistent mythology of Hutton-Playfair-Lyell, and many lessons have been drawn from a better understanding of the early fusion of secularized science and secularized history. But one lesson that has received little attention is the inhibitive role played by "geotheory," a genre of scientific writing popular in the last half of the eighteenth century. Geotheories were broad systematic attempts to scientifically explain Earth in its totality. They proved a barrier to the development of geology because of (1) their unrealistic scope, (2) unrealistic expectations, and (3) an unrealistic adherence to the hypothetico-deductive method of Newtonian physics, which in turn was related to serious misunderstandings of the limits of science and the nature of history. Numerous geotheories were published, each attempting to build a comprehensive explanation of Earth. By 1800, geotheory had fallen out of favor, replaced by inductive, limited, self-consciously historical investigations. Yet since geotheory reflects an innate drive in the human psyche for comprehensive understanding, it never really died. Our view of science and its disciplines is much different now, but facets of geotheory still exist—evolution being a secular example and grand "Flood models" a creationist manifestation.

The general geology and geomorphology of the Appalachians is summarized. Geological features and the subdued relief of the topography indicate up to 6.5 km of erosion. Erosion can also be estimated by the amount of sedimentary rocks on the offshore continental margin sourced from the west. Assuming that this erosion came from the Appalachians east of the divide, the amount of sediment matches the estimate based on coal rank fairly well. Erosion of the Appalachians and deposition of the continental margin can readily be explained by sheet flow early in the retreating stage of the Genesis Flood, as the land rose up and the continental margin subsided. This is a pattern seen worldwide and is inexplicable by uniformitarianism. This places the Flood/post-Flood boundary in the very late Cenozoic in this region.
Controversy has surrounded the term "Little Ice Age" since its inception in 1939. While some degree of cooling is acknowledged in the Northern Hemisphere in recent centuries, the magnitude, extent, and timing of the Little Ice Age remain controversial. A tendency to downplay both the Little Ice Age and the preceding Medieval Warm Period has accompanied the recent emphasis on climate change in general and global warming in particular. Secular scientists and diluvialists hold different assumptions about natural history, and employ different methodologies in paleoclimatology, resulting in different opinions about future climate change. While inferred past ice ages are entirely speculative, the Little Ice Age is constrained by historical data, providing a unique opportunity to evaluate natural history speculation. Although instrumental records are too brief to allow anything more than calibration of transfer functions for climatic proxy data, these proxy data are particularly good for the North Atlantic region, which also can provide useful geographic conditions for testing predictions of the rapid, postdiluvial ice age model. The first paper in this series provided background for the methods used to study climates of the past. This paper summarizes evidence for past climate change and provides a description of the study area.

Sleek Lines, Lovely Fabric
Par Chere
de Sudbury
This top is gorgeous! I cannot believe the price for such a beautiful top. The fabric is very rich & drapes around your hips perfectly. I wore this top with a pair of grey DG snake print jeans & got complimented on my outfit all evening. Don't let this sale price fool you, this garment does not look or fell cheap.
Nice and comfortable
Par PAM

I purchased this top in blue and the black and white and just love them. Nice compliment to a pair of skinny jeans or dress pants. Wears well and hangs nicely. Nice material and feels luxurious.
Good quality clothing

Par mocha

I ordered this top in black/white and pewter. In my opinion, the polyester knit fabric is terrible. I couldn't stand the feeling on my hands or the look of it so did not even try them on.
Just what I had hoped for.
Par Lis
de Ontario
This top is a great fit and colour - I am glad I ordered it to update my wardrobe. Only negative is that it's a bit long, but I'll manage fine.

Great top!
Par My ShopGirl
de Calgary
These just arrived, and I really like the tops. I bought the sapphire and pewter. The material is really nice and soft. I like how the cowl neck has a small weight sewn into it, to keep it in place. The arms are really long on me, I'll probably sew them shorter. I ordered a small, and I find it a little roomy, but not too much, it's nice to have it a little loose. Good buy.
Beautiful top
Par Happy Shopper KTown
de KELOWNA
I love the material on this top, it is beautifully made and I loved it but due to me ordering the wrong size or it being a bit smaller cut than the other clothesI buy online, I am sorry to say I had to send it back....My fault not the top.
Par Shopsalot

Another great top from this line, love the material and I bought the sapphire colour which is beautiful! I have found that I size down in the line usually take a large but find medium works for me in this line!

Children and Armed Conflict Open Debate and ResolutionTomorrow (7 March), the Security Council will hold an open debate on children and armed conflict, focused on how to make progress on the full implementation of the children and armed conflict agenda. The Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of Luxembourg, Jean Asselborn, will preside, with briefings by Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict Layla Zerrougui, Executive Director of UNICEF Anthony Lake and Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Hervé Ladsous, as well as Alhaji Babah Sawaneh, a former child soldier from Sierra Leone. A draft resolution, which went into blue on Tuesday (4 March), is expected to be adopted during the debate.
Ahead of the debate, Luxembourg, the chair of the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, circulated a concept note outlining the challenges faced in fully implementing this agenda, including a lack of capacity and resources for the implementation of action plans and the monitoring mechanism on the ground. Other areas covered by the concept note include the initiative, "Children, Not Soldiers", aimed at eliminating child recruitment and use by government forces, which is to be launched today by the Office of the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict and UNICEF. Preventive measures, such as the establishment of legal frameworks and age verification mechanisms as well as security and justice reform, were also addressed. The use of schools for military purposes and the effects on children's right to education as well as the threat of pupils becoming military targets was also highlighted as a new challenge.
While the draft resolution includes a certain amount of agreed language, there are also some new elements including references to the use of schools by armed forces, establishing a vetting mechanism to ensure those who have committed violations against children are not included in army ranks, child protection training for peacekeepers and military personnel, support for the new "Children, Not Soldiers" campaign, and the role of child protection advisers in mainstreaming child protection. The importance of security sector reform in mainstreaming child protection, including through age assessment mechanisms to prevent underage recruitment, is also a new element. The draft resolution also focuses on the role regional organisations can play in child protection and the need to incorporate child protection provisions in peace agreements. It also reiterates the Council's willingness to adopt targeted measures against persistent perpetrators of violations against children.
It seems that discussions on the draft text went relatively smoothly, particularly compared to negotiations on outcome documents for children and armed conflict in recent years. This may have been partly due to Luxembourg's decision not to focus mainly on issues such as persistent perpetrators and non-state actors that have been contentious, as well as the change in the composition of the Council. Some members with strong views about issues such as the Special Representative's mandate and the scope of the agenda are no longer on the Council. Still, there were a number of contentious areas including on the International Criminal Court (ICC), military use of schools and whether to include a request for more information on the delisting processes.
It seems the most difficult issue faced during the negotiations was getting agreement on the language on military use of schools. The first draft urged member states to support the development of guidelines for protecting schools from military use during conflict. The reference to any sort of guidelines was unacceptable to the US, and possibly at least one other permanent member. As a result there is no reference to guidelines in the final draft. The US appears to have had some legal issues with language in the draft text on attacks and use of schools and insisted on inserting the phrase "in contravention of applicable international law" in relation to this issue. Some of the other members were disappointed as they had hoped for language that would go beyond international humanitarian law and more specific measures on the use of schools, particularly by the military.
Another area that required some negotiation was the language on the ICC. Rwanda apparently wanted the language on the ICC that had been agreed to in the 21 February 2014 rule of law presidential statement (S/PRST/2014/5) where reference is made to the international justice system, rather than specifically to the ICC. Eventually, Rwanda accepted the language in the draft text which highlights how the fight against impunity for crimes against children has been strengthened by the work of the ICC and other tribunals.
A further contentious issue related to a request by Russia to add language from previous resolutions and presidential statements on requesting the Special Representative to brief the Council on the delisting process and progress made. A compromise was found by including this as part of a request for the Special Representative to inform the Council about the campaign "Children, Not Soldiers".
There appears to be a greater willingness among Council members to move ahead on this agenda and focus on areas that have not been given much attention in the past, such as the use of schools and hospitals, which had been added as a trigger in resolution 1998, but where there has been little progress in terms of action plans. Having a focus on this trigger in a resolution was particularly important to some members because the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict will be considering the Secretary-General's first report on children and armed conflict in Syria later this month where both the Syrian armed forces and the opposition forces have been listed for the use of schools and hospitals.

Moved to USA |
Born Peta Gia Wilson in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, on Nov. 18, 1970, Wilson's father was a military man, and moved the family on numerous occasions to far-flung points of the globe, including a stint in Papua, New Guinea. It was there that Wilson developed her initial interest in performing, though at the time it was merely for entertainment's sake, as there was no television or radio in their living quarters. Wilson was educated at an all-girls school in Brisbane, Australia, and favored sports, though her mother encouraged her to take a few etiquette classes to balance out her schooling. The latter proved to be a fortuitous move for Wilson, as a modeling agent recruited her during one of those classes. Shortly thereafter, Wilson enjoyed several years of success as a runway and print model, traveling extensively throughout Europe and Australia.
In 1991, Wilson decided to pursue acting, choosing to relocate to Los Angeles to study under the noted teacher Arthur Mendoza, principal acting teacher at the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting West. By 1995, she was landing supporting roles in independent features like the gritty crime drama "Loser" (1995). She also foreshadowed her own TV stardom with a 1996 guest shot on "Highlander" (syndicated, 1992-98), another TV series based on a cult movie.
Wilson was ready to depart for New York to continue her acting studies when her agent convinced her to audition for the lead role in a new action program based on Luc Besson's popular French action-drama, "La Femme Nikita" (1991). Wilson landed the role, and was soon launched into the pop culture stratosphere, thanks to the show's overwhelmingly positive reception with American audiences. "Nikita" was the top-rated program on American basic cable for its first two seasons, and though critics could claim that the key to the show's success was its complex story structure - which had trained assassin Nikita fighting both enemy forces and nefarious elements within her own agency - the fans clearly saw Wilson's physical beauty, athleticism, and soulful acting as the key to its appeal. For her turn as Nikita, Wilson was twice nominated for a Gemini Award (in 1998 and 1999), as well as for a Saturn Award in 1997.
Unfortunately, even Wilson could not keep "Nikita" afloat, when changes at USA shifted the network's attention to more lucrative programming like professional wrestling. The show was unceremoniously cancelled in 2000. A massive fan protest brought "Nikita" back for a truncated season of eight episodes, but Wilson, who had relocated to New York in 1999 with her boyfriend, director Damian Harris, was already planning her next career moves.
The 2000 film "Mercy," directed by Harris, should have propelled Wilson into the movie major leagues. A steamy erotic thriller with Ellen Barkin as a homicide detective whose investigation into a string of brutal murders brings her in contact with a kinky lesbian domme (Wilson), simply suffered from poor distribution. Wilson fared better on television in projects like Showtime's "A Girl Thing" (2001), in which she played a patient who is taken hostage with her psychiatrist by an unbalanced woman (Camryn Manheim), and "Joe and Max" (2002), a TV-movie about the rivalry (and friendship) between legendary boxers Joe Louis and Max Schmelling. That same year, Wilson gave birth to a son, Marlowe.
In 2003, Wilson returned to theatrical features as Mina Harker, vampire huntress - a role originally slated for Monica Bellucci - in the big-screen adaptation of Alan Moore's cult graphic novel "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." Despite the presence of Sean Connery and some eye-popping special effects, the film failed to score at the box office and ignite Wilson's career. The following year, Wilson appeared nude in a layout for Playboy, claiming in news reports that she had agreed to the photo shoot as a means of showing her great-grandchildren how good she had looked in her youth.
Wilson made sporadic appearances on television during the next few years. She played a woman who sought revenge on the con man whose scheme lead to her husband's death in the 2004 TV-movie "False Pretenses," and made appearances on the short-lived TV series "Jonny Zero" (WB, 2005) and in an episode of the Australian TV suspense anthology, "Too Twisted" (2005). Action and adventure fans were pleased to see her turn up for a small role as a NASA spokesperson in Bryan Singer's big-screen retelling, "Superman Returns" in 2006. Wilson and her husband teamed up again in 2007 for the drama-thriller "Gardens of the Night," about the perils of foster care. None of the projects brought her the buzz of her "Nikita," days, but Wilson seemed content as a working actress with a life centered around her family.

Notes |
"I've made a lot of grown men cry with laughter, because I really am quite the joke." --Peta Wilson in Entertainment Weekly, August 1, 1997. |
On "La Femme Nikita", Wilson told Details (August 1997): "It's a very funny show--inadvertently. WHen I look at it I howl. At the same time, I'd really like to be doing more substantial work. I'd love to be sitting here talking with you if I'd done a play or something really great. I don't really have a body of work. I came straight out of the theater to this, where I just hit the mark and bark, basically. There's no rehearsal, no readthrough; I meet the director the day we shoot. The great moments on film are in the silences. But they use close-ups all the time, you can't see the body ... " |
About her audition, production consultant Joel Surnow told People (April 14, 1997): "She was really gnarly, hair flying in every direction. Afterwards, she sat on a chair ... and became the most charming, chatty Australian girl," |
"When I was young, I could never find 'Peta' on those name tags stores sell, so I would buy tags with other names on them and have my family call me by whichever name I'd place on my door. I went by Wendy for a good month or so" - Peta Wilson on being named after the 1970 Miss Australian pageant winner Hollywood Life, July/Aug 2003 |

CD/LP/Track Review
Joe Pass: Meditation: Solo Guitar (2002)
Solo Pass...
I wonder if Norman Granz ever fully appreciated the talent he accumulated beneath the mantle of Pablo Records. Ella, Oscar, Joe, Bill (Basie), Ray, Dizzy, Milt, Jon and the list goes on. Listening to Joe Pass' Meditation, a previously unissued live set from Yoshi's recorded in 1992, I can not help but think how Joe Pass is like another Pablo Alum, Art Tatum. Both artists were thoroughly documented by Granz before their deaths; both were exposed in solo and group performances. Musically, both had the uncanny ability to toss off melodic lines within sophisticated harmonic structures like Byron could throw off stanzas of Don Juan while drinking brandy. Additional, they both had perhaps the broadest Books in jazz.
is a recital of standards typical of Pass during the end of his life. His repertoire varied little, which was easy to accomplish since he played everything. It is a collection of 12 ballads (and if they were not technically ballads, they were all played as such) that highlight the introvert/extrovert dichotomy characteristic of Pass' playing—at once frenetic and laid-back. Pass painted this performance in Brazilian undertones that bleed through spectacularly on the Jobim title cut and the Brown/Kahn classic "You Stepped Out of A Dream." Pass takes Ellington's "Mood Indigo" and plays it as if Thelonious Monk was playing his signature stride piano on six strings. "All the Things You Are" is played like a mainstream standard rather what Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. In this respect, it remains a barnburner, even as a ballad. Pass decorates the tune with single string flourishes that are bright like pansies in winter.Joe Pass exists as one of the truly singular talents in jazz. There are damn few like him—perhaps Milt Jackson, Oscar Peterson, NHØP, and the rest of the artists that Norman Granz cornered the jazz market with his humble label, Pablo. Let's hope there is much, much more of this fine music waiting to be released.

Back-to-school 2010 retail budget laptop roundup
Find out which budget laptops came out on top in the Back to School 2010 version of our retail system roundup.
The budget category of our back-to-school 2010 roundup collects retail-specific laptops on the lower end of the price scale, and should be of particular interest to students looking to upgrade their tech without spending too much.
Compared with previous years, and with the other categories in this year's back-to-school roundup, the budget-priced selections seem a little thinner than we'd like, with only one all-around standout. Part of that may be the economic climate, in which PC makers are less generous with features and components for budget systems, and have a desire to move buyers accustomed to $300 Netbooks into more mainstream-priced systems.
The Asus K501J-BBZ5is probably the best all-around deal, with a decent design and usable Intel dual-core processor (but not the current Core i3 found in more expensive mainstream systems). Battery life was good, but the Asus oddly lacks an HDMI output, so it probably won't be your dorm room media center.
Most of the other laptops in this category had either single-core Intel processors or dual-core AMD processors, which generally were not as fast or had especially weak battery life or annoying design flaws. HP's Pavilion dv5-2035dxmakes good use of its AMD Turion II processor, and was one of the more upscale-looking budget laptops, but some users hate its redesigned touch pad; we'd suggest test-driving one in a retail store first.
Note: Check out our roundup of retail laptops in all price ranges.
Check out details of each system below:
Asus K501J-BBZ5
The bottom line: The Asus K501J-BBZ5 is a well-built, good-looking budget laptop with enough power for most students or home users; however, many would-be buyers will bemoan its lack of an HDMI port.

Toshiba Satellite C665-S5049
The bottom line: The entry-level Toshiba Satellite C665-S5049 won't turn any heads with its plain looks and modest features, but it avoids any serious misstep, a statement not every ultra-affordable laptop can make.

HP Pavilion dv5-2035dx
The bottom line: The HP Pavilion dv5-2035dx is an AMD-based laptop that straddles the line between budget and mainstream laptops. We like the updated design and can tolerate the merely average performance, but the new touch pad is an exercise in frustration.

Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4030
The bottom line: The Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4030 is a decent all-around budget laptop. However, with its short battery life and cheaper options available from the competition, it's not an overly impressive deal.

The bottom line: Poor battery life and a stiff mouse button sour the deal for the otherwise attractive and affordable HP G62-225DX.

HP Compaq Presario CQ62-215DX
The bottom line: Sluggish performance is usually the deal breaker for an entry-level laptop, and though the single-core Compaq Presario CQ62-215DX is far from speedy, its biggest flaw isn't a lack of power but rather the finger power it requires to use the stiff mouse buttons.

The bottom line: We'd like the attractive and affordable Dell Inspiron iM501R-1212PBL more if it wasn't so slow and squeaky.

Main Quotes main index Narrative
"We could stop 'em, but I'm sure today's events put a complete end to his megalomaniac tendencies forever."
Once their plot is foiled the villain (less often, a hero) will always get away in the most undignified and cowardly fashion imaginable. If they didn't, who would the hero fight next episode? This is probably why the heroes either don't even bother chasing them, or else send Red Shirts after them with predictable results, or even help them get away. Other times, they're just being sporting.
No blockades, no manhunts, not even pursued by a bear. After all, it's at the end of the episode.
Regardless of the means, the escaped Smug Snake will gloat about how it "all went according to plan", maybe set off the Self-Destruct Mechanism in the Collapsing Lair, and return "triumphantly" next episode. Less often, you'll see them lick their figurative and literal wounds at having not only been beat, but forced to show the better part of valour and try to come up with a new Plot Of The Week that will work, throwing in a "Next Time, Tropeworthy!" for good measure.
Most villains who exit stage left also favor the Friend or Idol Decision and Sadistic Choice as backups, setting off small bombs or traps on loved ones to force the hero to choose between their capture or their friends' lives.
See also Screw This, I'm Outta Here! for when the mooks try this. Compare So Long, Suckers!. Contrast with Last Villain Stand where the villain decides to stick around and fight to the end.

Processing can be delayed if your receipts are heavily wrinkled, folded, taped, or stapled, as this can disrupt our proprietary scanning and uploading processes. Bulk scanning orders can also take longer, depending on how large they are.

July's Twitter Art Feed artist is Brian Piana, who, in his own words, creates works "from the Internet, for the Internet," several of which used Twitter as their base. While Brian often uses Twitter as a source for his works, one project called Tweeting Colors is particularly unique in that it puts control of the work into the hands of the public rather than his own. To elaborate, Tweeting Colors is a web page that displays vertical bars of varying color and width, but each of these bars is determined by the tweets of various unknown Twitter users. In order to add a bar, one's tweet has to include a few specific elements that designate the bar's size and color. The Web page itself auto-refreshes a few times per minute, so that new bars are added from the left to create an ever-changing online visual.
If some of this is sounding familiar to 1stfans, you may be aware that Tweeting Colors is not only part of the Rhizome ArtBase, but it also played a part in ArtDialogue: conversations in images, January's Twitter Art Feed project by Nina Meledandri. Nina's work encouraged online conversations through the use of images, in response to various themes. When Nina introduced the theme of "Home," some 1stfans deviated from using a straight image, and instead, employed Tweeting Colors to create a group portrait of the colors found in their homes.
Because Tweeting Colors is determined by people's individual tweets, it wholly relies on the personal involvement and collaboration of a variety of people to maintain and manipulate the work. Much like Nina's project, it is this collaborative nature that made Brian's project so appealing to Shelley and me for the Twitter Art Feed. For the first time, Brian is going to customize Tweeting Colors and create a separate Web page for our followers. The private link to 1stfans Tweeting Colors will be announced within the Feed tomorrow, where you can then follow the simple instructions and add color bars of your liking. In the beginning, 1stfans are encouraged to play freely with the work, and as the month goes on, Brian will announce different themes and introduce new color palettes to the mix to encourage your participation. One thing 1stfans may notice when they first access 1stfans Tweeting Colors, is that it includes the Brooklyn Museum's eight signature colors, all of which happen to be used in our multi-colored 1stfans logo (as vertical color bars, no less!).
See why this is a perfect match?
The 1stfans Twitter Art Feed is no longer a benefit of 1stfans membership, but the original feed in its entirety has been archived on the Brooklyn Museum website.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Mark Genovese, 518.782.9400, ext. 353
FLUSHING, January 20, 2012 – For nearly a year, registered nurses at Flushing Hospital have made a sincere effort to negotiate a fair contract. Hospital management, however, hasn't.
Flushing RNs are particularly angered that management is now trying to intimidate them by stopping payments to their health and pension plans. Believing management has left them with no other choice, the RNs voted overwhelmingly tonight to authorize a strike.
The 420 RNs are represented by the New York State Nurses Association. Their most-recent contract expired on Dec. 31, 2011.
Under federal labor law, a strike cannot start until 10 days after the nurses' negotiating committee serves the hospital with a notice of intent. This advance notice has not yet been served. There is only one remaining session so far, scheduled for Jan. 23, 2012.
In December, hospital management refused to sign interim agreements to guarantee continuation of health and pension coverage for six months after contract expiration while the parties continue to negotiate. Health benefits will continue for 90 days after expiration whether the interim agreement is signed or not. But their pension plan ended on Jan. 1, 2012.
"This situation has left us with our backs to a wall," said Theresa McGorty, RN, co-chairperson of the bargaining unit. McGorty noted that she, along with many of her colleagues, grew up in this neighborhood and delivered their children at this hospital. They helped keep the hospital open during bankruptcy by freezing their experience differential and accepting a wage freeze.
"We're not asking for anything out of the ordinary. We just need to be able to recruit and retain professional registered nurses by keeping us in line with other facilities," McGorty said, adding that management negotiators have been insulting, degrading, and disrespectful of the hospital's RNs. "Having no benefits and no pension after 35 years of service is like a slap in the face."
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

Matt Murschel | College Football 365
8:12 PM EST, November 8, 2012
Advertisement |
ESPN is reportedly offering $500 million per year for the television rights to broadcast the new college football playoff system according to Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com.
The four-team playoff system is set to kickoff in 2015 and would replace the existing Bowl Championship Series, which is set to expire at the end of the 2014 season.
The new playoff system is set to run until 2026 which means that according to CBSSports.com, the total payout could be as high as $5 to $6 billion over the length of the contract. Earlier this season, conference commissioners believed the value would be more like $350 million per year.
According to Forbes, ESPN pays $125 million a year for the rights to broadcast the Fiesta, Sugar and Orange bowls as well as the national championship game. ABC, which is owned by ESPN, has a separate deal for the Rose Bowl, which is valued at $30 million per year. That makes the total payout at $155 million.
ESPN has already negotiated several individual deals with the Rose Bowl and the new Champions Bowl under the new playoff format. Those deals are reportedly worth $80 million per year. The Orange Bowl, which would host the champion of the ACC, is currently still working on a rights deal with the network.
Under the new postseason format, there would be two national semifinal games rotated between six top tier bowl games. Three of those games are contract bowls, meaning they have agreements with several conferences. The Rose Bowl will feature the champions of the Big Ten and Pac-12 while the new Champions Bowl would feature the champions of the SEC and Big 12. If any of those teams are involved in the four-team playoff, the next best team from that conference would step up.
The Orange Bowl has an agreement to host the champions of the ACC and an opponent at-large. Reportedly that could include a team from the SEC or Big Ten or possibly Notre Dame, if they qualify.
The remaining three bowl games would be bid on by the respective host cities which could include such sites as Atlanta, Dallas, Tampa and Orlando. The national championship game would be rotated as well and would be bid on yearly. Similar to the way the NFL bids out the Super Bowl each year.
While the CBSSports.com report states that negotiations are still ongoing, it just begins to show the insane amount of money that the new college football postseason will generate for the television industry, college conferences as well as the individual schools.
Don't forget about Matt's Murschel's weekly mail bag. If you have any college football questions you would like answered or just issues or players you would like his thoughts on please email him at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @osmattmurschel.

Cheap laptops still MIA
Every story that crosses our desk about ultra-cheap laptops--from the $100 OLPC schoolkid special, to the $150 Medison Celebrity from Sweden, to the $200 Asus Eee (for that price, you only get one letter)--generates a tremendous amount of buzz, not to mention more than its fair share of blog posts.
Of course, getting any of these systems actually in our greedy little hands is another matter entirely. The One Laptop Per Child project is still struggling to get (now $200) OLPC systems into the hands of kids, turning to a new plan--instead of getting governments, corporations or charitable … Read more

Information about Adjunct Special Education Instructors
"As a general education teacher, I was looking for classes to increase my knowledge in working with students with learning exceptionalities. I enjoyed the professors and classes at IPFW so much that I decided to work towards my special education license. I truly appreciate the small class size which lends itself to discussion based classes. The professors are knowledgeable, insightful and approachable. The special education classes at IPFW are equipping me to meet the needs of the various learners I see every day."
