Zero Dark Thirty is precise, definitive filmmaking, yet Bigelow refuses to hand over easy answers. Some people call that evasion. I call it the ultimate despair.
A monumental achievement that documents a coordinated and complicated response to a monumental tragedy.
The film's power steadily and relentlessly builds over its long course, to a point that is terrifically imposing and unshakable.
The last thing we see in Zero Dark Thirty is Maya's face and it is also ours, silently crying tears of reflection.
It's only at the very beginning and the very end that Zero Dark Thirty functions (brilliantly) as a ripped-from-the-headlines political thriller. Much of the rest of the time, it's a workplace drama about a woman so good at her job that most of her colleagues think she's crazy.
Zero Dark Thirty, like the mission that inspired it, commands respect, admiration, even awe in places for the logistical nightmares that had to be overcome to get it done. But it's a hard movie to love.
As a realistic political thriller about Americans in harm's way it is not half as suspenseful or entertaining as "Argo." We may never know the truth about how we found bin Laden, but I still believe what we do know makes a strong enough story on its own without Wonder Woman.

Dec 20, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simply outstanding. Kathryn Bigelow, now that she's made the character-driven Hurt Locker and this phenomenally-paced thriller, has positioned herself as the dramatic chronicler of record in modern American warfare. No, she's not covering this stuff comprehensively, but the dramatic choices she makes, the slices she and her writers have focused on, so effectively tell the story of this era that I was thinking that we're lucky to have her as the credits of ZDT rolled. Chastain, the chameleon, is terrific in the film and will rightly be praised through the awards season. But I want to give special praise to Jason Clarke, who I've appreciated so thoroughly in Brotherhood and The Chicago code - he was an inspired casting choice. The enhanced interrogation sequences are technically no more difficult to watch than similar scenes in other films (most recently Safe House), but Clarke's ability to represent the interrogator's calculated pinballing between brutality and humanity is powerful. It's not a short movie, but I was riveted throughout. My audience gave the film a modest round of applause. I think they were more stunned by what they had just seen than anything else.… Expand
Feb 16, 2013Zero dark thirty was a great experience for me, I really liked Joel's acting in the film. Even though the film is about the greatest manhunt in history which some people will thing is boring) the film has good pace, it picks up fast and it's a thriller documentary which leaves you hanging. From the exotic places to the nutty warfares, Zero Dark Thirty is a 10/10 movie for me.… Expand
Apr 18, 2014A really good true story that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Acting was incredible, Jessica Chastain deserved the Oscar for best actress in my opinion for this role but didn't end up getting it. Still a greatly acted movie. It ran long but there were just the right amount of action and drama mixed in to keep you into it for the whole time.… Expand
Nov 28, 2013A film that benefits from a well discussed and important event in the 21st century, but seems to be over-exaggerated due to Bigelow's early acclaim of 'Hurt Locker'. Jessica Chastain has a pragmatic eloquence in her role, that rarely a thriller possesses, and her humanity and normality is shown towards the end, but I will not spoil it. 'Zero Dark Thirty' is more pensive than most modern-day war thrillers, but, like most, suffer from clichéd emotions and lack of true understanding from most of the chatracters.… Expand
Feb 19, 2013E' vero: sono partito prevenuto. Non lo si dovrebbe fare, lo so, ma un film che narra la caccia e l'uccisione di Osama Bin Laden uscito a ridosso delle elezioni negli Stati Uniti (per quanto io abbia tifato Obama) qualche cattivo pensiero lo suscita. La visione non smentisce i sospetti, anche se le qualità cinematografiche della pellicola consentono per un lunghissimo tempo di passarci sopra. Dopo un prologo con le voci dell'undici settembre, l'agente della CIA Maya cui Jessica Chastain offre un'interpretazione monolitica in cui le emozioni faticano a filtrare a parte la bella scena finale viene catapultata sul 'fronte orientale' e, grazie a un'intuzione, trova fra l'immensa mole di dati e di piste il bandolo della matassa che conduce al nemico pubblico numero uno. Ovviamente, all'inizio nessuno le dà retta ed solo grazie a una cocciuta testardaggine, ai limiti dell'ossessione, che l'Agenzia si decide a seguire le sue indicazioni: si deve però muovere il direttore in persona James Gandolfini in una parte piccola ma efficace. Lo sviluppo dell'investigazione narrato in circa due ore in cui dominano i caratteri del cinema di spionaggio, tra false piste, errori fatali ci va di mezzo la Jessica di Jennifer Ehle, assai più empatica della protagonista tanta pazienza e un pizzico di inevitabile corruzione. La sceneggiatura di Mark Boal procede attraverso una serie di capitoletti, in apparenza poco legati fra loro ma che consentono uno spostamento progressivo che avvicina sempre più al bersaglio: Bigelow inquadra il tutto in maniera fredda, quasi documentaristica, ma le belle scene di colorata vita quotidiana in Pakistan non evitano la rigida divisione fra buoni e cattivi. In tutto questo si inserisce anche una questione troppo presto abbandonata: presenti quasi solo nel segmento iniziale quindi riferite alla prima metà dello scorso decennio le scene di tortura sono brutali, ma la condanna non proprio chiarissima, lasciando la non gradevolissima impressione che le sevizie, pur non essendo una bella cosa, a volte, servano. In esse si distingue l'agente Dan impersonato da un bravo Jason Clarke, che dà vita a un personaggio interessante diviso com'è tra bisogno di normalità e compiti violenti. Finito il suo lavoro e tornato a casa, però, sparisce quasi dal radar: uno dei pregi del film il fatto che il punto di vista e il motore della storia siano prettamente femminili, ma a volte questo ha come conseguenza l'eclissarsi delle figure maschili. Dopo centoventi minuti di robusto intrigo internazionale –che non spiegano i peana della critica e le nomination multiple, ma sanno comunque avvincere inizia la missione notturna destinata a stanare Bin Laden dalla sua casa-fortino: quasi tre quarti d'ora di visori a infrarossi, porte fatte saltare e colpi di grazia a corpi già cadaveri che sembrano non finire mai. A parte la bella sequenza del volo notturno in elicottero, per il resto i tempi potevano venir tranquillamente dimezzati senza perdita di informazioni e con un notevole guadagno di ritmo narrativo. Qualcuno, forse appassionato di tattiche di commando, considera questa la parte migliore del film, ma per me finisce per danneggiarne il giudizio complessivo: 'Zero dark thirty' un buon lavoro, anche coraggioso nell'affrontare una materia ancora viva, ma che non riesce a essere all'altezza delle aspettative.… Expand
Jan 20, 2013I love Kathryn Bigelow, but goodness, this movie is languid and poorly paced. Ironically, the movie had 3 hours to move us by its characters, but came up short, I have no connection with the characters in this amazing story. I think the movie comes across as a dramatic documentary and we as the audience only watch this story, not be engaged by it. Seriously, they could have cut about a dozen establishing montages by half or entirely, and made the movie 2 hours shorter. The whole thing felt a little melodramatic and it it wanted to be like The Year Of Living Dangerously or All The Presidents Men, and have that grit and docu feel, but the dialogue was laughable, and emoting seemed artificial. I am stunned at the fanfare behind this movie, it's almost like it's being touted as so the world watches it, and sends some sort of perverted message about the tenacity of the US, or like, don't mess with us thing. Zero Dark Thirty feels like a Saturday afternoon movie or mini series for Discovery or History channel, or it would have done well on HBO. But not the best KB has made. Even still I dig her work.… Expand
Aug 15, 2014this movie is like trying to hold you back from getting osama, every annoying little thing that stopped people from catching him was conveyed before any action scenes are even showed, the whole movie stunk.
I pray for the immediate victims of 911, and the innocent victims of the aftermath and the wars caused as a result.
that being said... ... ... This movie is boring, men are not portrayed as men in this movie they are all mice, I mean the guys in the movie are all like wimpy, and stereo typical, not all men act like that, but in the movie like 99% do. I hate the way it was directed the camera shakes all over the place at bits, and they make osama out to be a vampire or something...
[no that does not happen in the movie that would be entertaining]
this movie is garbage it is not a war movie it is a bad documentary made into a movie that bores you.
in the commercials for this movie they show all the action bits and the scarf wearing secret agents with [aka47 looking guns], doing gangster style hip hop walking to their enemy just stupid looking.
Man I like war movies so if thats what you are looking for watch the lone surviver or saving private ryan, cause this movie is more about watching a geeky woman and stereo typical dumb hillbilly men with guns. we don't want to be bored out of our minds we just want to see an action movie which is what was promised in many of the movie trailers don't fall for it, Its only like a few minutes of the movies ending thats even worth a mention and even then not worth it.… Expand

Re-design maybe?
Submitted by Gustav (not verified) on Sat, 17/03/2012 - 08:44.
I have been selling, using and training with Shunts & other Petzl devices for over 20 years. Every time you show a Shunt or Gri-Gri to somebody that have not used it before you remark about the simplicity of the devices. Well done on that et merci beaucoup. Now, please tell me, with all this mumble-jumble circus that has been going on surrounding the Shunt, that Petzl is in the process of coming up with an upgraded, "safer" version of the Shunt? Surely it is time? I'll place an order for the Shunt II right now. And if you need a hand making the shunt better & safer, there are some ideas out there... Regards, Gustav

The Herald Bulletin
---- — My recent column on how some of Anderson's streets got their names piqued the interest of some historians. As a result, Bob Shoemaker forwarded a street map of Anderson Town, apparently as it was in the early 19th century.
And you know what? The numbered streets in the old section of downtown Anderson are conspicuously absent.
Jackson, Meridian and Main streets give present-day perspective to the diagram. Meridian dead-ended on the north at the old Pennsylvania Railroad tracks. Jackson also ended there, a block away. Main Street angled right at the tracks, as it does today albeit after the tracks were removed many years ago. But the road was unimproved from there to White River where there was an old ford, later replaced by a bridge just north of today's Truman bridge.
Most other streets are different. There was no Broadway Bridge (or was it Baldwin Bridge?), and Jackson ended at a street called North Canal Street, apparently where West Third Street begins today. Cross streets from there south were Hanna, Hamilton, Benton, German, Anderson, Washington, Bolivar, Williams, Canal (South Canal, maybe?), Lena and Taylor streets.
The southern town limits were just south of the old Big Four depot along what was then Union Street.
Central Avenue, the one beginning downtown, was then known as Water Street. To the east, then as now, were Fletcher and Pearl, but they ended north of the tracks at a two-block stretch called Butler Street. Ohio Avenue intersected with Fletcher at Lena Street, the latter connecting as an unimproved road to the old Myers ferry over White River where the old 10th Street bridge would eventually be built. Across the Pennsylvania tracks, Ohio Avenue had a junction with Lynn Street heading north to another ford across the river.
To the west, the town limits went only as far as the railroad tracks along John Street. Inbound were Morton, Lincoln, Chase, Hazlet and Delaware streets, all much shorter than they eventually became.
When a bridge finally linked the central city with North Anderson, it seems Broadway was indeed Broadway, a wide stretch with Interurban tracks down the middle. During the time Harry Baldwin was mayor in the 1930s, according to Shoemaker, the City Council renamed the street Baldwin Avenue in his absence. Immediately signs sprang up proclaiming, "It's still Broadway to us." Soon after that Baldwin pressured the council to restore the Broadway name.
Oh, and Louise Street (now Dr. J.T. Menifee Street)? One neighborhood resident recalls its history, the streets in the addition being named by farmer Harry Fricke (not sure of the spelling), who owned the land, with the names of his children. They included Louise, Nelle, Halford and Dewey. Area residents also insist Lou-EESE is the preferred pronunciation rather than the colloquial Lou-EYES.
Of course, since it lost its original name, I guess the pronunciation is moot.
Jim Bailey's reflections on Anderson's past appear on Sunday. His regular column appears on Wednesday. He can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Great ambience and foodengtchrDined on 8/14/2014We've eaten at Davani's several times and it has been great EVERY time. The food is superbly prepared and the service great. Our server this time was a tad over-solicitious, which I say because one thing we have loved about our previous experiences was the "old-world" aspect of the server's close, unobtrusive observance and infrequent "Is everything still o.k.?" questions. If we had an issue, we would summon the server, but that's just a small detraction. Davani's is one of Greenville's true dining gems.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

A fun little surprise from the chef. It sets the tone for what is to come. There are many appetizers to chose from, but we love the tuna tartar. I usually get the fish special with the risotto. I'm never disappointed. My companion says Davani's fillet mignon is the best in town and honestly, I think I need to order it on our next visit, because one bite from his plate leaves me wanting for more!

Very attentive service but they were out of some entrees and ingredients to make drinks at 7:15 pm on a Saturday night. Bread, seasoned oil and a shellfish canape plate were served gratis. The salads were fresh and just the right size for appetizer salads.

Once inside the restaurant you could not tell it was located in a strip center - it felt private and intimate. We arrived early and while waiting on others to arrive, decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was friendly, knowledgeable, and she was very attentive. We also tried three different appetizers in the beginning; soft shell crab (great!), calamari (also great!), and escargot (some of the best we've ever had - absolutely fantastic!). Everyone's dinner was equally as good, as was the service. On our next visit to Greenville, Davani's will be our top choice for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Michelle's service was impeccable. Rocky checked in to ensure a positive experience. The food was out of this world. My friend was impressed by the experience from start to end.

The Indiana Pacers host the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night as the blue and gold look to win consecutive games for the first time this season.
The Pacers have been better at home than on the road this year with a 3-1 record so far. Now would be a great time for Roy Hibbert and David West to deliver some consistency as the two bigs should have an advantage against the New Orleans front court that may be without rookie top pick, Anthony Davis. Davis missed the Hornets' loss last night in New York and is still questionable with an ankle injury.

Georgia Congressman Sanford Bishop is joining more than forty members of congress who are asking the United States Postal Service to keep postal processing facilities open until spring 2014.
This comes after the Postal Service decided to shut down the mail processing facility at Albany's main post office on South Slappey Boulevard on February 23rd. In all, the Service decided to close fifty mail processing facilities, and moved to accelerate those closures in late march.
Read the Congressman's full release below:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a letter to Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Congressman Sanford D. Bishop (GA-02) asked the United States Postal Service to stand by its original commitment to keep postal processing facilities open until next spring. In late March, the Postal Service unilaterally decided to accelerate closure of about fifty mail processing facilities across the country.
"We urge you to recognize the disastrous impact that the elimination of overnight delivery standards and closings of Area Mail Processing Centers and other facilities across the country would have on local and national unemployment," the bipartisan group of members wrote. "The USPS is a major employer around the country and employs over 500,000 workers. With an unacceptably high unemployment rate, it would be particularly inopportune for the USPS to close facilities."
Forty-six Members of Congress joined Congressman Bishop in detailing the harm these closures would have on their local economies. The letter advocates a comprehensive approach to postal reform that ensures the Postal Service will stay financially solvent for many years to come.

Officials in Wildwood, New Jersey, home to one of the most popular shore boardwalks, just voted this evening on what can be worn.
The new law bans pants that sag more than three inches below the waist. Shoes or sandals must also be worn on the boardwalk at all times. Guys must wear shirts between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Women must cover their bikini tops too.
Fines for first time violations go from $25 to $100. Subsequent violations could cost the offender as much as $200 dollars.
Wildwood Mayor Ernest Troiano Jr. says that they're not trying to be jerks and will ask people nicely to adhere.
Fines will only be applied if violators don't listen and become belligerent.

Bad Attitudes: Harald Szeemann's Landmark Exhibition Was a Scandal in Its Day
Harald Szeemann's mother did not approve of "When Attitudes Become Form." A resident of Bern, Switzerland, where his famous exhibition took place in 1969, she was horrified by "Attitudes" and the controversy it caused. I'm getting all these terrible phone calls, she wrote to her son. You have to stop doing these gag exhibitions.
That letter from Mrs. Szeemann is one of many archival documents on view on the ground floor of the Ca' Corner della Regina, the 18th-century Venetian palazzo where Germano Celant, curator of the Prada Foundation, has recreated Szeemann's groundbreaking show, working in collaboration with the artist Thomas Demand and the architect Rem Koolhaas. This may not be the main event in town—that would be the biennale—but still it's made an impact. On the second of three press preview days, people were lining up outside, bumping umbrellas in the rain. Read More

Lynn Haven Elementary students spent the afternoon celebrating Earth Day along with Arbor Day.
For the students and members of the school's Garden Club, the day started with a proclamation by Mayor Walter Kelly of Lynn Haven then the planting of two oak trees.
Along with Arbor Day the kids got to celebrate Earth Day by gathering all the recycled paper and soda pop tops that will help save our planet.
Principal of Lynn Haven Debra Spradley says she is excited to see all the children so excited over Arbor Day and the planting of the trees.
"We hope that it will instill in them that if every body does a little bit and it makes a big different the most rewording is their excitement and in hopes that it will instill them to do it in the future," says Spradley.
This is just the third year Lynn Haven Elementary has celebrated Arbor Day with the planning of a tree.

Paycom takes its time when interviewing candidates that they may hire. They are a selective company and should be. The people on their team are very friendly and work very hard as well.

The interview process was very challenging but you can tell the company really cares about who they hire and wants it to be the right fit. You can tell the manager cared a lot about the culture of the office and wanted to hire someone that fit in well with the dynamic of the team.

I interviewed online. The process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Paycom in March 2014.Interview Details
The interview process was very lengthy, with a phone screening and about an hour and a half long in person interview. After those two, I was called back to do a "phone canvassing session" with the team, which was cold calling from about 9am until 1pm. They provided some background materials, but only tips on how to cold call, not any specific product knowledge. I was expected to set at least four appointments through cold calling, which did not happen. They did compensate me with a Visa gift card for $40 for my time, but it was very difficult to just be thrown to the lions and be expected to produce results equal to the experienced sales staff around me. It was confusing because Paycom advertises their extensive training program, but what's the point of having one if you are expected to be a seasoned sales professional during the interview process? The biggest thing that stuck out for me was, at one point during the company wide phone canvassing session, a woman got up to get a coffee from the break area. Another salesman saw her and criticized her for getting up from her desk during peak phone canvassing hours. With a company culture like that, I knew I did not want to be a part of Paycom.Interview Questions

The interview process I took part in was close to 8 weeks long. I had a first interview scheduled, and it was then rescheduled twice within the next 2 weeks. I finally received a first interview over 2 weeks later from when I was told they were interested in setting up a first interview. This was very unfortunate, because AFTER going through the entire phone canvassing and even NEXT interview process 2 weeks later, I was THEN told 1 week later that I would not be getting the offer (May I add that I even made the 3 appointment requirement). Very frustrating that I was led on throughout the whole process and it wasted 7 weeks of my time while I even have a full-time job.Interview Questions

The NFL is investigating why Bills DE Mario Williams hasn't been listed on the injury report, according to Adam Schefter.
Williams has publicly complained about a wrist injury, but head coach Chan Gailey said that Williams has not missed a practice rep. The league's policy on disclosing injuries is as follows, per Schefter: "All players with significant or noteworthy injuries must be listed on the report, even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the team is certain that he will play in the upcoming game. This is especially true of key players and those players whose injuries have been covered extensively by the media. … This policy is of paramount importance in maintaining the integrity of the NFL."
The Bills made Williams the highest-paid defensive player in league history when signing him this past March. Through four games he has nine tackles and 1½ sacks.

The backfield situation is not looking so hot for the Illinois Fighting Illini as they get ready to take on UCLA in the 2011 Fight Hunger Bowl on Dec. 31. Illini head coach Vic Koenning revealed on Tuesday that his team will likely be without both of their starting running backs. Starting fullback Jay Prosch is currently hospitalized with a staph infection and starting tailback Jason Ford has been ruled academically ineligible.
Prosch has apparently been hospitalized since Dec. 14 and had surgery in an attempt to fight off the infection. He is apparently in good health, but there's no indication when he might be able to leave the hospital or how he might have contracted the infection. No other players have been infected.
The news is not much better for Ford. The team's leading rusher with 600 yards on 155 carries has not yet received word on whether or not he'll be able to play. That leaves Illinois with backups Troy Pollard (462 yards) and Donovonn Young (406 yards) as the most likely candidates to see extended action.

EXCLUSIVE: Irrational Games to Bring Ecco the Dolphin Back as Wii U-ExclusiveA game news article
by Nick Boisson
Irrational Games Announces Follow-Up to BioShock Infinite, a Relaunch of Classic Sega franchise, Ecco the Dolphin
"When we created the city of Rapture for BioShock, I always had dreamed that Ecco would come crashing through the glass to save Jack from a Big Daddy," says Irrational Games founder and Creative Director, Ken Levine. "But everyone on the team laughed at me and said that would be silly. Now, I'll show 'em!"
Following the completion of BioShock Infinite in February, Irrational Games began work on a new undersea title. But rather than the city of Rapture or a new dytopic environment, Levine and team wanted to focus on something a bit lighter in tone. "After all the depressing visuals and story from the BioShock games, we just wanted to focus on the beauty of the world and all that it has to offer. But, of course, that didn't last long."
Development on Ecco the Dolphin originally began as an open-world, underwater adventure title, where Ecco travels the ocean blue, singing and using echolocation to find new environments and quests. But the interference of mankind on our oceans in real life had given Levine an entirely new concept for the game. "The game is still an open-world adventure game, but Ecco's environment is tragically altered by a chemical spill. Now, all of the fish are horribly disfigured and predatorial. When Ecco finds himself in this new area, off the coast of New Orleans, he must find a way to stop the evil corporation from dumping their chemicals into the New Orleans gulf."
But not just the story and environments are altered, but the gameplay will also take on a new facelift as it enters this upcoming console generation. "You will still use singing and echolocation in the game, but we have added a few new tricks. Because of all the irradiated fish and creatures inhabiting the gulf, Ecco will need to take on a new skill set to defeat them. Upon entering certain parts of the gulf and eating some of the small fish there, Ecco will gain new abilities that he can use to defeat his enemies. We don't have them all worked out just yet since we are still very early in development, but there will abilities like telekinesis, ability to control other creatures, launching an underwater cyclone, electric shock and a few others," said Levine.
While it is still too early for Irrational to say when we could look forward to playing the game, Levine did have an idea of where we would see it. "Wii U! Ecco the Dolphin will be a Wii U-exclusive! We'll never want to cause you to stop your game to launch any of your abilities and the Wii U gamepad will help keep players in the game. We are looking forward to tapping into the audience that Nintendo has captured."
Pop culture geek, Nick Boisson, lives in front of his computer, where he is Section Editor of Comics Bulletin's video game appendage and shares his slushily obsessive love of video games, comics, television and film with the Internet masses. In the physical realm, he works in Guest Relations for Florida Supercon in Miami as well as a day-to-day job, which he refuses to identify to the public. We're thinking something in-between confidential informant and professional chum-scrubber.
He rants on about the things he loves (and hates) on Twitter as @nitroslick. You can also find him on Steam, Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Network, Nintendo Network and Raptr under the name "nitroslick".

Score distribution:
Positive: 42 out of 46
Mixed: 4 out of 46
Negative: 0 out of 46
All of the game's elements mesh, from the music to the storyline, from the puzzles to the control system. I can't find anything nasty to say about this game. Ubisoft have certainly done their homework.
A fine blend of platforming and combat. Silken-smooth control set makes you want to play until the fingers are raw.
The game neither holds players' hands or pushes them away with a series of jumps only an automaton with computerized coordination could make. [Jan 2006, p.39]
The Two Thrones provides a satisfying conclusion to the Sands of Time trilogy, with a lot of the same puzzle solving and gorgeous environments you remembered from the previous two games.
While many were worried about this iteration changing the spirit of the title so much like with Warrior Within, it instead manages to take the best bits of both and create a wonderful hybrid.
Ubisoft goes back to what works best for the franchise, and mixes some furious combat with exploration and some good old puzzle solving.
So I fought, each time sitting through an unskippable 30-second scene of the fight's start and then getting killed within a minute. I did this about 70 times. My body trembling from tension and exhaustion, I kept playing not because it was any fun but simply because it was my job, and when after three hours I finally won I experienced not victorious joy but simply relief that it was over. I felt all the considerable pleasure the game had given me had been taken back.

Students on the Tibetan and Himalayan Peoples program enjoy a six-week homestay experience with a Tibetan family in Kathmandu. Students share daily activities with their host families and are frequently invited to larger family gatherings as well as cultural events and outings. Through the homestay, students have an opportunity to practice language skills at the same time as learning local manners, customs, and traditions. The homestay is often considered one of the highlights of the program, and students usually become very close with their homestay family.
Other accommodations during the program include guesthouses, hostels, educational institutions and/or small hotels. The group may do some camping while on Himalayan trek.
|In the words of the program's senior faculty advisor and Tibetan scholar Hubert Decleer:
"The homestay is the sort of formidable challenge where students are likely to commit most of their early, highly un-Tibetan blunders and, at times, students may feel they're systematically 'putting their foot in it' (mettre les pieds dans le plat). These are the episodes that two months later will make the host families laugh the hardest ('You know what our student did? He couldn't resist any longer and ate the biscuits from the altar offerings!'), with students quite likely to join in. Learning how to be utterly respectful and at ease, with a light touch and a sense of humor, is the trick and what the homestay ultimately entails.
"Homestay families are likely to take students in tow to major events, whether public or involving the extended family. Almost by osmosis, students pick up a number of good habits, which may become second-nature long before students realize it, but which people in Kyirong, Khumbu, or Shey Gompa recognize at a glance and highly appreciate.
"The homestay is a great experience, for many unforgettable, causing tears at parting time. The contacts between students and their host families in some cases have been maintained for more than twenty years."

Survivors from the Boston Marathon bombing attack will be married Friday at the Biltmore Mansion in Asheville.
According to FOX 26 in Houston, Rebekah Gregory was with Pete DiMartino cheering on his mother who ran in the race along with Rebekah's son Noah. Both were injured in the attack and have undergone surgeries and physical therapy since April.
The couple was later chosen as The Knot's winner of the Dream Wedding Contest and will tie the knot at noon Friday. The public was able to vote on the wedding details and everyone can watch their dream wedding live online here.
When the bomb went off, she was able to protect her son Noah from the blast, according to FOX 26. But she was injured and since then, Gregory has undergone more than a dozen surgeries and when she returns from her honeymoon, she is expected to have her leg amputated because of the injuries she suffered from the blast.
Pete lost 90 percent of his right Achilles' tendon and suffered multiple broken bones in his ankles, according to the wedding website.

VALDOSTA, Ga. (AP) - The Valdosta-Lowndes County Chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Council is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction in the death of Lowndes High School student Kendrick Johnson.
The Rev. Floyd Rose says an anonymous donor put up the reward money. He told WALB-TV that the organization has not taken a position on whether Johnson's death was intentional or accidental.
His body was found inside a wrestling map at Lowndes High in January. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation ruled it an accident based on autopsy results. But Johnson's family had a second autopsy done by a forensic doctor in Florida, who concluded Johnson's death was due to blunt force trauma.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Plane makes emergency landing on Calif. highway
ROCKLIN, Calif. (AP) - A small plane has made an emergency landing in traffic on a highway median in the Sacramento area.
The California Highway Patrol says the aircraft landed safely Wednesday morning on a grassy center divide of Highway 65 near Rocklin as cars whizzed by. No injuries were reported.
Pilot John Mares says he was testing a new engine on the Beech BE35-33A when it lost power at about 3,500 feet, leaving him with no choice but to find a place to land.
A mechanic was on scene to see if the fuel pump failed. The highway remained open although traffic slowed down to see the plane.
The FAA says an inspector is on the scene. The CHP will close the northbound lane if the plane is cleared to take off.

Language Acquisition Staff Development: Qualified to Meet Needs of English Language Learners is a policy-to-practice brief that addresses the confusion, often caused by misinformation at the school or district level, that surrounds the issue of staff development for teachers of English Language Learners (ELLs) and is meant as a guide for local association leaders.
School districts must ensure that English Language Learners (ELLs) are taught by qualified individuals. To do this effectively, district administrators should work with teacher and administrator groups to provide staff development addressing educator learning needs. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) documents used to inform this brief do not mandate, but rather suggest, potential staff development especially for low-incidence districts.
The guiding questions for teachers should be: How will I provide English language instruction to my limited English proficient students so they understand the subject matter content of my instruction?

Two Palm Beach County homes among nation's most-viewed listings on Realtor.com
- 2:12 pm Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 by Jeff Ostrowski
Both are short sales. One sports a mold problem, the other has defective Chinese drywall. And both are among the most-viewed listings in the nation on Realtor.com.
It's unusual for two of the nation's most-visited listings to come from the same market, a Realtor.com spokesman said. We'll take that as another indication that the market here finally is turning around.
No. 7 in the nation last week was this listing at 10647 Avenida Santa Ana in Boca Raton. The 3,300-square-foot house is on the market for $230,000, but listing agent Mary Kenyon of Keller Williams Realty in Boca Raton acknowledges that the house has a leaky roof that needs to be replaced, not to mention mold spawned by the leaky roof.
"It is a home that needs a lot of work," Kenyon says.
