Day 1
Flights usually depart London in the evening.
Day 2
The group flight will arrive into Delhi in the morning and we will transfer to our hotel. Those who have made their own flight arrangements will join us at the hotel during the day. You are free today to explore Delhi and rest after your flight; rooms may not be available until noon but it is often earlier than this.
Day 3
Transfer in the early morning to the domestic airport terminal for the flight to Bagdogra. On landing at Bagdogra we join our vehicles, and take a beautiful 4-hour drive from the heat of the plains through jungle, tea estates and pleasant hillside villages to the coolness of Darjeeling. The road winds its way up into the hills through Kurseong. At 1458m it is the little sister of Darjeeling and the word Kurseong comes from the Lepcha word for a small white orchid which grows prolifically in this area. Surrounded by tea estates it is the southern terminus for the steam powered trains of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway and the last 32km follows the route of the famous Toy Train, once the normal mode of transport to the famous hill station. We should arrive by late afternoon. (Approx 3.5 hours drive).
Day 4
On a clear day there are beautiful views of sunrise on Kanchenjunga from the roof of the hotel. At 2,134m and spread over a steep mountain ridge surrounded by tea plantations with a backdrop of the jagged white Himalayan peaks, Darjeeling is the archetypical hill station. Originally the site of a small monastery called Dorje Ling it was discovered by the British and established as a sanatorium for the troops in the mid 1800's. The British soon recognised the potential of the place and built their colonial bungalows and planted tea. These days people come here to escape the heat of the north Indian plains. You will find yourself surrounded by mountain people from all over the eastern Himalaya who have come to work and trade. Mother Theresa spent her early years here as a nun. We have the day here to explore the town and its surroundings. We visit the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute founded by Tenzing Norgay and where many of the famous Sherpa climbers have been trained in mountaineering skills. All around are the world famous tea estates and if it is tea plucking time we can visit a tea estate. There are several monasteries nearby, of which the most famous is at Ghoom. If the railway is working, and schedules permitting, we can take the toy train to Ghoom and return by car. The train chugs its way out of Darjeeling, stopping on the way to take on water and to allow passengers to take photos at the famous Batasia Loop. If there is time there are the local bazaars and markets, and plenty of good restaurants and little eating stalls to tempt you. To end the day a pre-dinner pink gin at the Windamere Hotel is highly recommended.
Day 5
Weather permitting there is an optional trip to Tiger Hill to see the sunrise over Kanchenjunga and Everest. This requires a very early (4am) start and is only worth it if the weather is really clear. After breakfast, we drive to Pelling (2,083m). Although only 90km from Darjeeling it will take us a good four hours due to the bad road conditions. From Darjeeling we descend on a spectacular road through tea estates to the Rangit River at 518m. Just before Jorethang we enter Sikkim and our permits and passports will be checked. The road now starts to climb again and at the small town of Legship we will stop for lunch. The final hour the road winds up even more to Pemayangste monastery. This is one of the most important Nyingmapa monasteries in the area, and was first built as a small temple in 1705 by Latsun Chembo. The monastery houses numerous religious idols and on the top floor there is a wonderful seven tiered wooden structure portraying the heavenly paradise of Guru Rinpoche. Tonight we stay in Pelling, whose raison d'etre is its stride stopping sunrise and sunset views of Mount Kanchenjunga, the guardian deity of Sikkim and the world's third highest mountain. (Approx 90km/4hours driving).
Day 6
If the weather is clear we will be woken up by magnificent views of Kanchenjunga. After breakfast we drive to Gangtok (1,437m), the capital of Sikkim and the largest town in the area. Today is a long day as en route we will visit Tashiding Monastery, another important monastery belonging to the Nyingmapa order. We start our journey by retracing our route down to Legship, from where we wind high into the hills again to Tashiding monastery. Built in 1717 by Ngadak Sempa Chembo during the reign of the third Chogyal, the monastery is set in a spectacular location on the top of a hill that looms up between the Rathong and Rangit rivers and is surrounded by a profusion of prayer flags that flutter in the air. Hundreds of brightly coloured hand carved prayer (mani) stones surround the monastery, most of which have been carved by an elderly Khampa refugee who has been here since 1959.
We descend back to the main road and climb up again to Rabongla at approx 2,400m. This is our high point today and we will probably stop for lunch in a small restaurant with great views down the valley. We continue driving through lush forests of dwarf bamboo back down to the river from where we have a final climb up past a large hydro power project to Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, set on a ridge with magnificent views across to Kanchenjunga. In Gangtok we stay at the Netuk House Hotel, a traditional Sikkimese family house, now run as a small hotel with splendid food and traditional service. Today's drive is approx 198km/6 hours.
Day 7
A bustling friendly hill station, perched at between 1,400m and 1,700m on a ridge, Gangtok is the capital of Sikkim. The name means 'hilltop' and the town is steeply tiered along a precipitous mountain ridge. If clear the views are inspiring with Kanchenjunga soaring above the horizon. Now part of India, Sikkim was once an independent kingdom inhabited by Lepchas. Over the years Tibetans migrated over the border for trade but it was not until 1642 that Sikkim became an independent kingdom with its own Chogyal (King). Over the centuries Sikkim was invaded by Nepalis, Bhutanese and Tibetans but it always managed to preserve its independence. The British East India Company saw Sikkim as a gateway to trade with Tibet and in 1888 it came under British rule and the capital was shifted to Gangtok. Sovereignty was returned in 1895 and in 1947 after Indian independence the Prime Minister, Nehru agreed to a special protectorate status for Sikkim. However after Nehru's death his daughter Indira Gandhi had little patience for maintaining Sikkim and its monarchy (the Raja had married an American who was now queen of Sikkim) and in 1975 Sikkim became the 22nd state of India. Populated by Lepchas, Nepalis and Bhutias, most who follow Tibetan Buddhism the culture here is more akin to Tibet than India.
We spend today exploring Gangtok. This morning we visit Rumtek, 24km from Gangtok and the largest and most famous monastery in Sikkim. Founded in the 16th century, Rumtek served as the main seat of the Karma Kargyu lineage in Sikkim. The Karma Kargyu is one of the sects of Tibetan Buddhism and the Karmapa Lama is the head of this sect. When the 16th Karmapa arrived in Sikkim in 1959 after fleeing from Tibet, he found the monastery in ruins. As the place is auspicious he had the monastery rebuilt and it became the main seat in exile of the Karmapa Lamas. When the 16th Karmapa died a new reincarnation was found in Rumtek. However, in 1999 the Tibetan Karmapa escaped from Tsurpu in Tibet and fled over the Himalaya to Dharamsala. Since then Rumtek has become embroiled in controversy as to who is the 'real' 17th Karmapa and armed guards now patrol the monastery. It has some excellent Buddhist paintings and relics, and a good view towards Gangtok.
We return to Gangtok for lunch and the afternoon is free for individual exploration. You could visit the 200 year old Enchey Monastery, which sits above the town. From Ganesh Tok and Hanuman you get a bird's eye view of Gangtok and on a clear day we can see the Himalaya in the distance. The Flower Show (or Flower Exhibition Centre) is famous for its floral exhibitions, especially in spring. Its orchid show from mid March to April is said to be one of the finest in South Asia (please note the Flower Show is often closed in December). Also worth visiting is the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, which specialises in research into Tibetan Buddhism and the language of Tibet. The institute houses an excellent collection of Tibetan Buddhist artefacts. There should also be time to explore the bazaars and markets and well recommended is the Cottage Industries Institute where local handicrafts are made.
(Please note that opening days and times of the various sights in Gangtok change frequently. The Cottage Industry and the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology are usually closed on Sunday's and Public Holidays and the Flower Show is often closed in winter. Your leader will have up to date opening times.
Day 8
After breakfast we set off for the drive to Kalimpong. We leave Sikkim at Rangpo and drive through the wild Teesta Valley. If it is possible we leave the main road and take a quiet but spectacular side road through vast forest plantations and small villages to the ridge overlooking Kalimpong. En route to the hotel we will visit the most important Hindu temple in Kalimpong, and the Dr Graham's home and school. Dr Graham was a Scottish missionary and he founded the home in the early part of the century. We spend some time exploring the bustling bazaar before driving to the Himalayan Hotel, where we stay tonight. In the early days of the last century the hotel was the family home of David MacDonald, who was the British trade agent in Gyantse for 20 years. After he retired he turned the family home into an hotel and it has remained in the family ever since. Although a bit jaded and faded at the edges now, it still retains its charm and character. It has been home to Everest expeditions from the days of Mallory and Irvine and Hillary and Tenzing were frequent visitors. Alexander David Neel and Heinrich Harrer are just some of the famous travellers who have stayed here. Today's driving time is around 4hours.
Day 9
We leave early this morning for the longish drive to Bhutan. We return to the plains, and after crossing Coronation Bridge, built originally by the British for the Coronation and since renovated and painted bright pink by the Indians!, we turn east along the main road through the extensive tea plantations of lower Assam, to reach the Bhutan frontier at Phuntsoling. Here we will leave our local guide and Indian leader as we complete Indian immigration formalities. Walking through the traditional style Bhutanese gate we will be met by our Bhutanese guide who will help us complete our Bhutanese entry formalities. Tonight we stay in Phuntsoling, a bustling border town with many traditional chortens and the Kharbandi monastery.
Day 10
An early start today for the magnificent drive through forest and over the hills to Thimpu, the capital of Bhutan. Thimpu is a fairly small town, with a population of around 30,000, and is easy to get around. There is a certain quaintness to it with no traffic lights and town clocks painted in traditional Buddhist styles. Today is a long day of driving and we will reach Thimpu in the late afternoon. We take plenty of rest stops en route to break the journey.
Day 11
We spend today exploring Thimpu. We will visit the impressive golden topped Memorial Chorten, built in 1974 by the Royal Grandmother in memory of the third King, H M Jigme Dorji Wangchuk who died in 1972. The magnificent Tashichho Dzong (fort) is the main secretariat building which houses the National Assembly. There are amazing Buddhist paintings, beautiful buildings and a grand courtyard. There are plenty of shops and a government emporium to buy excellent Bhutanese souvenirs and the Post Office has collections of Bhutan's famous stamps.
Day 12
We leave Thimpu and drive east to Punakha. The route climbs steeply in places to the Dochula Pass. At 3050m (10,000ft) the views over the eastern Himalaya are magnificent although the clouds may obscure this spectacle. We descend to the valley floor and continue to sub-tropical Punakha. At an altitude of 1350m the difference in temperature and flora is apparent. Punakha was the old capital of Bhutan and the dzong was the second one to be built in Bhutan. This remarkable fortress is built between two rivers and it has survived many fires, an earthquake and a glacial flood. Along the way it has been repaired and added to and it has several interesting features to protect it against invasion. En route we will also visit Chime Lhakhang, a 15th Century monastery built to honour one of the more folkloric saints of Bhutanese tradition, Lama Drukpa Kuenley. The Lama was known for his foul-mouth, alcohol-smelling breath and insatiable lust towards women. Yet he is revered as a great saint by most Bhutanese who come from all corners of the country to visit Chime Lhakhang. We continue through a rather drier landscape to Wangdue Phodrang, which also has a fine dzong, situated on a ridge above the Tsang Chu in a very spectacular and commanding position guarding the surrounding countryside. After a good look around the dzong we make our way in the late afternoon to our hotel.
Day 13
An early start for the drive back to the beautiful broad, fertile Paro Valley, with its famous dzong overlooking the rice fields and scattered houses. The Paro Valley is considered to be one of the most beautiful valleys in Bhutan, with blue pine-covered hills and attractive solidly built houses among the paddy fields. After lunch we will spend the afternoon taking in the Paro Festival. Hundreds gather to see the monks dressed in colourful brocade, silk costumes and wearing painted masks re-enact the story of the gompa's particular divinity though music and dance. For several days there are masked dances, prayer meetings and a general carnival atmosphere as many villagers arrive to meet old friends and catch up with the mountain gossip. The festival culminates with the unfurling of a giant Thangka, three stories high, which has to be carefully folded away before the rays of the morning sun catch it.
Day 14
We drive to the car park below Taktsang monastery, where we set off walking. It is an uphill hike taking 2 - 3 hours to the viewpoint café and is steep in places. The famous monastery, whose name means 'Tiger's Nest', is only accessible on foot but is well worth the effort. The monastery clings to a huge granite cliff 800 meters above the Paro valley. It is believed that the great saint Padmasambhava came in the 7th century on a flying tigress and meditated in a cave for 3 months. The demons who were trying to stop the spread of Buddhism were subdued and he converted the Paro valley to Buddhism. During the end of the 17th century a monastery was built on the spot where the saint mediated and it is a pilgrimage site for every Bhutanese to visit once in their lifetime. We return to Paro in the afternoon to witness more of the Paro festival.
Day 15
Morning transfer to the airport to check in for our flight to Delhi. The rest of the day is free to explore the city or stock up on Indian souvenirs.
Day 16
Those on the flight inclusive package will depart for London this morning for the daytime flight back to London; Land Only arrangements will finish after check-out from the hotel.

Timor-Leste Tours and Highlights
Travel in Timor-Leste with Intrepid
This inspiring South-East Asian island nation tinged with Portuguese flavours may not receive the tourist crowds of its neighbours but that's all its part of the charm. Possessing beautiful beaches without the crowds, communities with big hearts, and peaceful, mountain retreats seemingly hidden from the modern world, Timor-Leste (East Timor) is an emerging destination full of promise.
- Swim, sail or snorkel on East Timor's idyllic coast
- Journey through lush rainforest and plantations to the town of Suai
- Trek through forest and farmland to Mt Ariana
- Get acquainted with the streets of Dili on a guided city tour
- Stay in a Portuguese-style guesthouse in the scenic mountain town of Maubisse
- Relax in the agricultural region of Baucau
- Discover the fishing villages, beaches and reefs of Atauro Island
- See village-style trading in action at the colourful markets of Hato Builiko
- Learn about community empowerment while visiting development projects in Los Palos
- Hike to the summit of East Timor's highest peak, Mt Tatamailau
Timor-Leste's Top Picks
Timor-Leste produces 'Kafe Laku' - a coffee made from beans that have been eaten and passed through the digestive system of an Asian palm civet
Top 5 Souvenir Picks of Timor-Leste
- Coffee: Introduced by the Portuguese, all coffee is grown organically in Timor-Leste, so it's a great place to stock up on quality beans at a relatively low cost. Look for small, cooperatives that support local farmers and communities.
- Traditional Jewellery: Locally made, silver jewellery can be found at markets and shops throughout Timor-Leste. Bold, heavy pieces featuring distinct designs are among the standout picks.
- Tais: This handwoven fabric with a range of region-specific designs can be bought from markets and street stalls. Colourful and distinct, Tais can be worn like sarongs and are a great choice for those looking for a unique, authentic gift to give to friends and family back home.
- Contemporary Art: Offering a window into the lives, thoughts and dreams of local people, art is a form of expression that gives people a voice. Although Timor-Leste doesn't have many galleries, there are a few (as well as stalls at markets, on the streets and within cooperatives). Look out for paintings and sculpture created by locals, which represent unique souvenirs that support and empower the local community.
- Wood Carvings: There are many skilled craftspeople in Timor-Leste, with wood carvers being among the best. Choose from carved statues or decorative pieces for the home among the handicraft treasures found at markets.

Common Names
Jungle Carpet Python
Adults usually reach 1.4 to 2.1 metres (4.5 to 7 feet) in length, with females usually larger than males. The colour pattern can vary from tan and black to bright yellow and jet black. Most specimens have white bellies although some can be yellow. These snakes are semi-arboreal and their natural habitat is monsoon jungle. Captive specimens have lived for 20-30 years and feed readily on mice, sometimes taking rats or small chicks, depending on the specimen in question.

Range and Habitat
The typical locality given is "Ravenshoe", on the Atherton Tableland, North Queensland.
The jungle python occurs in a wide variety of habitats, from the rainforests of northeastern Queensland (Morelia spilota cheynei) through the River Red Gum/Riverbox woodlands of the Murray and Darling Rivers (Morelia spilota metcalfei), to the arid, tree-less islands of Nuyts Archipelago off the South Australian west coast (Morelia spilota imbricata). Often found near human habitation where they perform a useful service by eating rats and other vermin. Morelia spilota spilota is even know to occur in areas that receive snowfall. Although jungle pythons are tree snakes, they do not completely rely on trees and are capable of moving around elsewhere on the ground.
Diet and Feeding
Diet includes mainly mammals and birds but can also include lizards and frogs.
Jungle pythons are known to be picky about their food, with some prefering mice instead of rats. Pythons that are proving difficult to make the switch from mice to rats can usually addressed by defrosting a mouse and a rat in the same container, getting the mouse scent all over the rat and offering then offering the rat as food, however this may take some persistance. To prevent this problem to begin with, it is advisable to start jungle pythons on rats as soon as possible while they are younger to get them used to that type of food, this will save the keeper from feeding several mice per feeding instead of a single rat.
Very common in captivity. This species generally makes a great pet however, some locality types of jungle python (Palmerston) are generally known to be more aggressive than other varieties such as the Atherton or Tully pythons, and as such are generally better suited as display animals rather than pets, keep in mind this is only a generalisation and does not cover the individual temperament of the snake or its upbringing. Juveniles of this species are also known to be nippy, with temperament becoming more good to excellent once appropriately handled and more mature.
Ideal Captivity Conditions
Temperature & Humidity
30*-32*C (88*-90*F) basking area, daytime ambient should not drop below 26*C (80*F) with nightime ambient not below 22*C (72*F).
Heating is considered to be best when provided from an overhead heating source, as the python is semi-aboreal, however, no issues have been encountered when properly utilising adequate substrate heaters.
Humidity is usually fine at normal ambient air temps (10%) however during shedding, this should be increased to around 40-60% when the snake is coming up to shedding. A water bowl big enough for the python to soak in when coming into shedding is ideal.
These snakes are known to be escape artists so due care must be taken to ensure that all possible escape routes are identified and action is taken to prevent escape.
Young specimens are best kept in small enclosures/containters. Larger snakes should be kept in an enclosure that will allow them to spend adequate time on the ground as well as climbs, suspended hides and other climbable obstacles which will allow the snake to excercise and remain active. An enclosure 1200hx600lx600d mm or larger will be fine for an average sized adult or larger.
Enclosures around light fittings are necessary to prevent burns and injury to the snake by wrapping itself around a globe or heating element.

Hardcore, know the score. The Yamaha YZF-R6 is a sexy uber-capable track bike that works on the road too. It caught the 600 race rep class napping and nothing came close until Suzuki launched its 2001 GSX-R600 – that's a long time to rule the 600 roost and shows just how good the original Yamaha YZF-R6 was.
749cc, 140bhp, 171mph, Insurance group 16
For a bike with a lineage as race-bred and focused as the Suzuki GSX-R750, it's no small irony that the original superbike is something of a compromise. It has all the handling of the 600 and most of the usable power of the 1000. The result is a motorcycle that's near perfect on road or track. The Suzuki GSX-R750's handling ...
599cc, 101bhp, 158mph, Insurance group 14
What a makeover! And just in time… As other sports 600s were creeping ahead, Suzuki looked as if it would be left for dead. And then they came up with this Suzuki GSX-R600. Slimmed down, firmed up and with power and torque figures to raise front wheels as well as eyebrows, the "new" Suzuki GSX-R600 was an absolute storm.

Hundreds of factories are shut in the Indonesian capital Jakarta as thousands of workers began gathering to protest against unsuitable conditions.
It is estimated that some two million factory workers will go on strike nationwide on Wednesday.
In Jakarta, about 800 factories were closed as workers gathered to protest, Al Jazeera's Stepp Vaessen reported from the scene of a strike.
"I'm at the biggest industrial zone outside of Jakarta where 800 factories are basically closed down right now because all the workers are standing outside on the streets with banners and motorbikes going around," she said on Wednesday.
"They are waiting for other workers from other factories in the area to gather here and have a huge protest."
Vaessen said protests were under way outside of factories all over the country.
"An estimated two million workers are on strike today.
"They are protesting against their working conditions and over the work contacts that they have. They say they don't have any job security and no stability," she said.
The Jakarta Globe newspaper reported on its website that the unions were expecting some 2.8 million people to go on strike in 21 districts and municipalities and 80 industrial zones across the country.
The newspaper said the largest demonstration would involve some 500,000 people.
It also said the workers were protesting against the practice of outsourcing manpower.
The strikes could threaten Indonesia's economy which has been held up as a success story in recent years.

Tenet Acquires Coastal Carolina

Tenet Acquires Coastal Carolina
Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) announced today that a subsidiary has completed the purchase of
Coastal Carolina Medical Center
, a 41-bed acute care hospital located in Hardeeville, S.C., from LifePoint Hospitals Inc. (NYSE: LPNT). The approximate purchase price is $35 million and is subject to normal post-closing adjustments.
Coastal Carolina Medical Center serves a vibrant market with a growing population of younger retirees in Jasper County. The area is poised to add more than 100,000 residents in the next 20 years, with much of the growth projected around Hardeeville. The hospital is located 27 miles from Tenet's Hilton Head Regional Medical Center. The company intends to continue operating Coastal Carolina Medical Center as a full-service community hospital and will seek to enhance services to meet the community's needs, in coordination with the nearby Hilton Head facility.
"Tenet's growth strategy includes leveraging the strength of our current hospitals to grow in key markets where we already operate," said Trevor Fetter, Tenet's president and chief executive officer. "This acquisition – our first in five years of an acute care general hospital –fits that strategy perfectly. We have served the coastal areas of South Carolina for many years both at Hilton Head Regional Medical Center and at East Cooper Regional Medical Center near Charleston – two of our most successful hospitals. We strongly believe that Coastal Carolina Medical Center will benefit significantly by partnering with Hilton Head and Tenet to serve one of the nation's most dynamic, rapidly growing communities."
Coastal Carolina Medical Center will become a part of Tenet's Southern States Region and will maintain a local management team. The hospital's chief executive officer will report to Elizabeth Lamkin, the chief executive officer at Hilton Head Regional Medical Center. Coastal Carolina Medical Center will continue to operate under its current name. This strategy builds on the hospital's existing brand equity and will streamline Tenet's operational efficiency. Through this integrated approach Tenet can provide comprehensive, cost-effective health care services to the Lowcountry, as that area is known.
Stephen L. Newman, M.D., Tenet's chief operating officer, said, "We are strategically applying our capital to build upon our current market success in a highly desirable area, and will grow Coastal Carolina's services by linking it with our other nearby operations. Because we know the Lowcountry area of South Carolina so well and have served it for many years, we will hit the ground running with strategies to expand and enhance services at Coastal Carolina Medical Center."
Coastal Carolina Medical Center opened in November 2004. The hospital was acquired by LifePoint in April 2005. It was the only hospital that LifePoint operated in South Carolina. As part of the agreement, Tenet has committed to offer employment to substantially all current employees in good standing who meet its condition of employment.
Tenet Healthcare Corporation, through its subsidiaries, owns and operates acute care hospitals and related health care services. Tenet's hospitals aim to provide the best possible care to every patient who comes through their doors, with a clear focus on quality and service. Tenet can be found on the World Wide Web at

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Some North Carolina House members have decided to move Senate legislation ahead that would allow speed limits on some state highways to race up to 75 mph.
A House committee voted Tuesday for the bill allowing the Department of Transportation to set speed limits higher than the current 70 mph cap for some interstates and other highways if traffic and engineering allows it. The bill doesn't identify which roads could change, but committee members discussed rural stretches of Interstate 40 in eastern North Carolina as a possibility.
The bill already has passed the Senate and its next stop is the House floor.
The measure passed the committee despite some members saying they are worried higher speed limits will mean more highway accidents.
A bill rolling back energy-efficiency standards for commercial builders passed a Senate committee.
The Senate Commerce Committee endorsed a bill that backers say will spur construction by eliminating the 2012 codes in favor of 2009 standards. The 2009 standards are 30-percent lower than today's energy-use benchmarks.
Critics argued the bill would jeopardize long-term energy savings in favor of limited short-term benefits. Democratic lawmakers asked Republican sponsors to make a compromise that would keep the 2012 standards in some instances.
The lobbyist for general contractors in the Carolinas said there's some division within the group but that anything done to minimize costs will help construction.
The bill has already passed the House and now heads to the Senate floor.A bill requiring state workers to check the criminal history of welfare and food stamp recipients passed a Senate panel.
A Senate judiciary committee unanimously endorsed the bill Tuesday, sending it on to another panel. The bill requires social services employees to see whether applicants or returning beneficiaries are fleeing from the law or violating parole.
A previous version required employees to immediately report red flags to local law enforcement, but the latest iteration requires social services to adopt rules for sharing that information first. The change arose out of concerns about complying with federal law.
Legislative staffers say the federal government already requires states to deny benefits to people with violations that are targeted by the bill. Critics have said the bill unfairly profiles welfare recipients.

The Spice Goddess with Bal Arneson is a modern take on east Indian recipes that are inspired by village cooking in the Punjab. Each of these 13 episodes is an affirmation of what happens when you blend fresh wholesome ingredients with herbs and exotic spices. Having grown up in a traditional village where she learned to cook at a young age, Bal has many stories to tell about what she learned from her elders. At the heart of it all, Bal knows that creating tasty food is something any cook can achieve anywhere. She will demonstrate simple techniques to enhance flavour and to make tantalizing Indian style dishes. Join Bal as she delves into the world of spices, to show how just a pinch of this and little bit of that can make everyday a day to celebrate eating.
Bal Arneson is an author, educator and passionate advocate for simple and healthy Indian inspired cooking. Originally from a small village in the Punjab, India, Bal Arneson learned how to cook from her elders over coals in a small clay pit at the age of seven. Her first cookbook Everyday Indian is a best seller and her latest cookbook, Bal's Quick and Healthy Indian was released in fall 2010. When she immigrated to Canada over 15 years ago, she did not speak English or have an education. Since that time, Bal has earned a Masters in Education, taught cooking classes and launched her own organic spice line. Bal lives in Vancouver, B.C. with her husband and their two children.

Bachman's Inc. has been in business since 1885, when founder Henry Bachman, Sr. first planted potatoes, lettuce, onions, and squash on a plot of land in south Minneapolis. Today, that plot contains the firm's headquarters, with acres of floral, gift, garden, and landscaping departments. Bachman's has grown to be one of the largest traditional floral and nursery operations in the world.
In the spring of 1984, Bachman's opened the Nursery Wholesale Center to service the garden center, nursery and landscape industries. The Wholesale Center is located on our 629 acre growing range in Farmington, Minnesota. Increased demand for Bachman's quality nursery and landscape products has driven rapid growth of the Wholesale Center. Landscape professionals can now choose from a complete line of nursery stock and hardgoods from a 30 acre holding yard. We've become known for providing excellent value through product quality, professional service, and excellent selection.
Also located on the 629 acre Lakeville / Farmington Growing Range are Bachman's Nursery Field and Container Production operations. Bachman grown nursery stock is known widely to be of excellent quality. Our adjacent production facilities offer customers a tremendous plus in terms of product selection, quality, and timely service.

Shame they blow up the whole time, otherwise they sound great
Hunka Hunka Burnin' Glass
The Galactus-sized Audio Research Reference 610T monoblock amplifiers ($20,000/ea) put out 600W. They require 8 matched pairs of 6550C output tubes, one 6550c regulator, one 6H30 as an amplifier regulator, a pair of 6550Cs as drivers, two 6NIP input tubes, and a 6H30 follower—that's a ton of tubes.
But man, oh man, did it makes Sonus Faber's Stradivarius sing in the Son or Filtronique room.
Details here.
Submitted by Ovation on April 6, 2008 - 7:14am.
While I could never hope to afford either these amps or the Sonus Faber speakers to which they were connected, I can say they sounded fantastic (even though the music selection playing when I was in the room was not among my favourites).And the heat from those tubes would certainly allow me to turn down the thermostat (though with electricity as cheap as it is in Quebec, it might take me several centuries to finance the amps with the savings).

House of answers, a city in the mountainous district of Judah (Joshua 15:59). It has been identified with the modern Beit-`Anun, about 3 miles northeast of Hebron.
Int. Standard Bible Encyclopedia
beth-a'-noth (beth`anoth; Baithanam, probably "House of Anath"-a god; Joshua 15:59): The ruin of Beit `Ainun, 1 1/2 miles Southeast of Halhul, in the neighborhood also of Bethzur and Gedor-places mentioned in association with it as towns in the hill country of Judah-appears to be a probable site. The present surface ruins belong to later ages.

Effect of Spatial Location and Presentation Rate on the Reaction to Auditory Displays
The way in which auditory displays are presented can significantly influence the experience of listeners. Spatio-temporal factors influence and redirect the attention toward such displays. These factors include presentation speed, stimulus externalization, and location in the three dimensional space. Results show that stimuli perceived inside the head resulted in a more accurate and faster response than those that were externalized. For externalized auditory displays, those presented in the frontal hemisphere were attended to faster. Response times did not change linearly with presentation speed; there was an optimal presentation rate at which the response time is fastest without compromising accuracy.

Year-RoundOther Desert Cities
by Jon Robin Baitz
directed by Peter Rothstein
The Guthrie presents Other Desert Cities, a sizzling new play by the creator of TV's hit drama "Brothers & Sisters." Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs to celebrate Christmas with her parents, brother and aunt. But when she announces her plans to publish a memoir, a crucial event in the family's history is brought to light, and a surprising twist is revealed. Featuring Guthrie favorites Sally Wingert, Michelle Barber and David Anthony Brinkley, Other Desert Cities is a searing comedy with banter that dazzles and decimates, making it one of the most satisfying grown-up plays of the decade.

This product works great. No more forgetfulness.
I have been using this product on and off for months. When I am not taking it, I lose my train of thought and have trouble finding the word I am thinking of. It is a real mindsaver.

After taking this product for just 30 days started a new job and I am amazed at how much new information I am retaining at the end of the day. This product, with just 1 morning dose, has worked wonderfully for me; bottle states 10mg three times daily. No more fuzzy cognitive brain! I am so happy with the results of this product.

Reference | EN 50132-5-1:2011/AC:2012 |
Title | Alarm systems - CCTV surveillance systems for use in security applications - Part 5-1: Video transmission - General video transmission performance requirements |
Project Number | 24255 |
Abstract/Scope | This European Standard introduces general requirements on video transmission. A detailed specification on analog video transmission over different media including signal and performance requirements is already defined in prEN 50132-5-3. For the growing number of surveillance applications based on IP video transmission the requirements are defined in 2 standards. This standard covers in the following clauses the general requirements for video transmissions on performance, security and conformance to basic IP connectivity, based on available, well-known, international standards. In areas where more detailed IP requirements are necessary additional specifications are given, in order to reach compatibility. In this European Standard no detailed and special CCTV protocols are defined. In Part 2 of this European Standard, a detailed video IP protocol, messages and commands on top of the general connectivity and performance requirements of Part 1 are defined. Part 2 defines an IP protocol for full interoperability (e.g. PTZ control, eventing, etc.) of video transmission devices used in surveillance applications. The first section of this standard defines the minimum performance requirements on video transmission for security applications in IP networks. In surveillance applications, the requirements on timing, quality and availability are strict and defined in the last section of this standard. Guidelines for network architecture on how these requirements can be fulfilled are given. The second section of this European Standard defines requirements on basic IP connectivity of video transmission devices to be used in security applications. If a video transmission device is used in security, certain basic requirements apply. First of all a basic understanding of IP connectivity needs to be introduced which requests the device to be compliant to fundamental network protocols. These could be requirements which may be applied to all IP security devices even beyond IP video. For this reason, requirements are introduced in a second step for compliance to basic streaming protocols, used in this standard for video streaming and stream control. Since security applications need high availability and reliability, general means for the transmission of the video status and health check events need to be covered. Theses are defined in general requirements on eventing and network device management. In security proper maintenance and setup is essential for the functioning of the video transmission device: Locating streaming devices and their capabilities is a basic requirement and covered in "device discovery and description". |

People who love Good News are still contributing! Thank you...Raised: $4,546 from $3,500 GoalBuying memberships that help us finish the New Website - We're working hard! |
By Good News Network Saturday, January 28, 2012
The online news-sharing community, Reddit, has come to the rescue more than once when a member has posted a painful or inspiring story.
Yesterday, a member posted the photo of a heroic Kenyan man who was attacked in the face with a machete after trying to defend an orphanage from a gang of thugs. He asked if the people could help raise $2000 to fund a cement wall with barbed wire to help secure the grounds for the children and their defender, Omari.
24 hours later, the photo of Omari's wounds, along with the heart-wrenching appeal, moved the community to raise more than $65,000 in donations.
As the donations poured in, so did the thanks from the Faraja Orphanage in Ngong, Kenya which posted photos of gratitude to the Reddit folks for their kindness.
A year ago, Reddit users were moved by the owner of a toy store who shared the story of a 7-year-old girl being bullied because of the effects of a life-threatening disease. The shopkeeper wanted to raise money to give her a shopping spree. The online community gave $19,500 to ensure the girl's final year was a happy one.
Visit Reddit to see the story, and joine one of the most philanthropic communities on the Web.

Treat them like other additives (cardamom, rosehips,etc).
You can do either. I will add things at the end of the boil to impart more subtle flavor or if I want it to be more noticeable during the fermentation (similar to when people add oak).

I use cinnamon sticks for a week in secondary fermentation to great effect. Lightly boil for 10 minutes in minimal water and add if you're worried about contamination. In a 5 gallon batch one stick adds a nice hint in an average ale but will be strong in anything light. Two sticks is for Christmas beer IMO.

A staple of American automotive luster will be found in large quantity in downtown Lancaster on Saturday morning.
At about 10 a.m., between 30 and 40 Chevrolet Corvettes, arguably America's preeminent sports car, will converge in the parking lot across from Charley's Cafe on Main Street to "jump off" for a drive through the Midlands.
INDIAN LAND - Indian Land residents should be aware that their financial support of a nearby rescue squad will not benefit them at all.
For years, the Fort Mill Rescue Squad in York County has sent letters and placed phone calls to Panhandle citizens, asking for money to improve protective services, said Lanny Bernard, Lancaster County Emergency Medical Services director.
INDIAN LAND - Peter Manfre's power meter sometimes runs backwards.
Manfre is working with York Electric Cooperative in a net metering project. He collects solar power at his home on Henry Harris Road. What solar energy his home doesn't use goes back onto the power grid to be used by other customers of the utility.
Manfre's system has 24 panels that collect solar power. They work best on cold, clear fall days, he said. On a recent overcast, chilly day, the system was likely generating almost nothing, maybe 300 watts, he said.
I was disappointed when Mick Mulvaney won S.C. House District 45 in 2006. Today, I feel that it is necessary that I salute Mulvaney because he has proven my initial judgment wrong.
All too often, we voters are left in the dark while lawmakers make decisions that affect us. We may get a newspaper article or a news segment to keep us informed. Yet, voters are usually left to wonder "what are those lawmakers thinking?"
Mick, thank you for providing your constituents with an explanation of your voting record.

A local real estate company is investing $200,000 to $250,000 in the renovations of a strip mall on South Wylie Street in Lancaster.
Izco bought the building, which formerly held Perry's Pharmacy, from a private owner last fall. In December, renovations started on the interior and exterior of the building, said Izco managing partner Phillip Scott.
When the renovations are complete, the results will be a contemporary commercial building, Scott said.
"We will make it look real nice," he said.
If you can drive a van and enjoy spending time around veterans, you may be of service to the Lancaster County Veterans Affairs office.
The office needs van drivers to take veterans to medical appointments at the Dorn VA Medical Center in Columbia and the Rock Hill VA Clinic. The van goes to the Columbia center Monday through Thursday, and to the Rock Hill clinic on Fridays. Drivers work on a volunteer basis.
"It's strictly volunteer," said Veterans Affairs Officer Linda Blackmon. "There's no money involved."
FORT LAWN - Fort Lawn Town Council unanimously agreed Feb. 4 to honor one of its own, the late Army Spc. Charles Messer, for his service to his hometown and nation.
Council adopted a resolution presented by Police Chief Richard Smith that will honor Messer and express sorrow and sympathy to his family and friends.
Messer, 20, was serving in Iraq when he injured his arm when an improvised explosive device hit the Humvee in which he was riding. He was in rehabilitation in Texas for the injury.
Lancaster battled Spartanburg to the wire, but the host Lady Vikings held on for a 46-42 win over the Lady Bruins in the opening round of the Class AAAA Upper State girls basketball playoffs on Tuesday night.
Lancaster, the No. 4 seed out of Region III-AAAA, challenged the Lady Vikings, champions of Region II-AAAA, to the final horn.
"Our girls showed a lot of heart and I'm proud of them," Lancaster High School coach Ronnie Robinson said.
In case you didn't know, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. The day set aside to recognize those who hold a special place in your heart.
It is also a good time to check the health status of your own heart. After all, February is American Heart Month. And appropriately so. What better time to focus on the most vital human organ than during the month of love?
The American Heart Association says that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.

OSHAWA -- Simcoe Hall's Foodbank co-ordinator Elizabeth Fernandes has been volunteering for more than four years. She believes it is vital for her to help and serve others and not serve her own materialistic needs. According to Ms. Fernandes, helping someone who is struggling brings more joy then anything else in life.
As part of the annual Christmas food drive, last year the House packed 1,300 hampers. This year they are estimating to pack 1,400. Currently, Simcoe Hall Settlement House has approximately 14,000 clients on file and it seems to be growing every year.
Ms. Fernandes has two to three volunteers working with the food bank every day during the holiday season. Each family receives quadruple the amount of food they would typically get throughout the year. The food is distributed into small, medium and large hampers depending on the size of each family. The Christmas hampers can be picked up by clients Dec. 20 and Dec. 21.

Foundation 150 153rd Ave, Suite 300 Madeira Beach, FL 33708 |
Vinegar at Bedtime Can Benefit Type 2'sPosted: Thursday, December 13, 2007A dose of vinegar taken at bedtime may favorably impact waking glucose concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes, comes from the results of a new study. Dr. Carol S. Johnston and colleagues from Arizona State University, Mesa, write that, "Given the importance of maintaining acceptable blood glucose concentrations, there is much interest in identifying foods and diet patterns that will help individuals with diabetes manage their condition," Previous studies have shown that taking vinegar at mealtime can lower glucose levels.
In the current study, the researchers examined the effect of vinegar taken at bedtime in four men and seven women (ages 40 to 72 years) with type 2 diabetes who were not taking insulin.
The patients measured fasting glucose at 7 a.m. for three consecutive days before the study. They then followed a standardized meal plan for 2 days, consuming either 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or water at bedtime with 1 oz cheese. After a 3- to 5-day "washout period," in which they took no vinegar, the subjects crossed over to the alternate bedtime treatment. The participants had a typical fasting glucose of 136mg/dL (7.6 mmol/L) before the start of the study. (Fasting glucose levels among non-diabetics are generally below 99mg/dL.(5.5 mmol/L) The fasting glucose in the diabetics fell by almost 3mg/dL or 0.15 mmol/L (2 percent) with placebo and by 4.7mg/dL or 0.26 mmol/L (4 percent) with vinegar treatment, a statistically significant difference. The investigators found that the vinegar treatment was especially effective for the six subjects who had a typical fasting glucose greater than 130mg/dL. or 7.2 mmol/L. Fasting glucose in these participants was reduced by 6 percent compared with a reduction of 0.7 percent in those with a typical fasting glucose less than 130mg/dL or 7.2 mmol/L. "Vinegar is widely available, it is affordable, and it is appealing as a remedy, but much more work is required to determine whether vinegar is a useful adjunct therapy for individuals with diabetes," the authors conclude.

Reebok Question – White – Red | Release Date
May 8th, 2012 by Aaron Hope | 47 comments
Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of a rant that will forever link Allen Iverson to guys like Mike Gundy, Jim Mora and Dennis Green. And although AI would no doubt rather be involved in the NBA Playoffs, the timing does have a nice coincidence about it with Iverson recently touring China in, among others, his most famous Reebok signature. RBK proves that Swizz Beatz won't only be remixing the Vector brand's classics, as the Reebok Question is brought back in a perfect reflection of the 1996 original made famous when Iverson broke Michael Jordan's ankles in the blue-toed pair. This red-accented OG is coming up with a May 25th release date; will 'The Answer's first best loved sigs be on your summertime shopping list? via Reebok Classics
Filed under: Basketball, Reebok, Upcoming Sneakers // Tags: Allen Iverson, Reebok Question
I would cop these even if they were $300.00. You know why? Because they're made better than any of these crappy Jays these days.
I was never really into the midtops like that, always had more of a thing for the lowtops. But that leather right here is just beautiful. Probably at an even better quality than most Nike leathers.
I still have my pair from uhhh... 2010? (I think) Red Suede toe instead of the metallic shown on the new release. Barely wear them. More for looks in my 90's era collection in the man cave. Takes me back everytime I go in there. U know... (adidas Kobe's, nike J. Kidds, Air raids, Bo trainers, Fila Grant Hills etc) The stuff kids wear now but don't know anything about the players that wore them. CLASSICS!!
These were my team shoes for AAU...........I love these AI's. And they were one of the most comfortable basketball shoes I ever had......I have to cop for nostalgia reason alone.
I copped the last release of these with the toebox being suede. I might cop these as well. Please retro the Answer V !
i have been looking for a deadstock pair of og's, so im definitely copping, even tho its going to mess up some of my savings for the south beach 9's, i got to do it.
Wow. Way to sneak up on us reebok. Summer is looking crazy and then the fall is gonna be bananas with just JB by itself. I can only imagine the other stuff that will pop up.
I prefer the white/royal blue joints. Glad to see em drop again. A couple years ago they released and I slept on em. Had em in jHS.
i missed out wen they last re released the questions not too long ago so i gotta get these
you can bet your boots ill be trying to snag a pair of these! i had at least 4 pairs growing up as a kid
These shoes were perfect. Not too much red, great use of the translucent blue sole. I will be investing in a pair
These are overrated. I'd prefer Shawn Kemp's and Shaq's. Of course Kobe's are the best of all shoes.
Man, i remember having the black and white ones.. i just gotta have these. so much memories behind them.
he means the white with the blue toecap, which was the first colorway to come out..
