The company may be having a heck of a hard time, but P eugeot still manages to ring the bell when it comes to concepts. Straight from the Vector M12 school of car design we have this, the Peugeot Onyx Concept, an all-wheel drive plug-in hybrid coupe we'll be seeing at the Paris Motor Show later this month.
Under the hood, which we'll assume is amidships, there's a
We'll know more when we get to Paris, so for now there are high-res photos above and that teaser vid below.
CORRECTION: The earliest reports about the Onyx suggested a completely different powertrain than Peugeot ultimately debuted. Sorry for any confusion, French supercar fans.

I love global issues, what is going on, the great and the horrible, the beautiful and the sad. To keep relatively updated I have relied for the past three years mainly on google.com/news. I love the access to thousands of sources and I often find myself having fun reading about the same issue by two different publications. It is interesting to see what is included or kept out in each. Over time I became more reliant on certain providers, whether because I like their style of writing or just their website presentation. I enjoy the technicality and poshness of Reuters, the simplicity of google hosted Associated Press, and for some reason the Christian Science Monitor has headlines that catch my eye. Although I still ADORE google news, I decided I should invest in becoming an audience member of a couple publications, of course I will constantly refer to the internet for quick and up-to-date stories, and maintain my stance that a holistic view from many sources is needed to form an opinion, but I decided to subscribe to TIME Magazine and The Economist. Today I received my first editions! TIME is about "How to restore the American Dream" and The Economist is about China's new leader. I can't wait to spend hours pouring over them in the coming days- and I am sure that they will spark many posts here.

The travel-hacking hobby is all about getting miles and points by signing up for credit cards that have good bonuses. Usually these are travel rewards cards put out by airlines or banks who allow transfers to airlines and hotels. For instance the Citi AAdvantage card which helps you earn American Airline miles or the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, which helps you transfer to a number of travel programs.
While many are satisfied to spend on cash-back cards, 9 times out of 10 we travel-hackers will opt for the travel rewards cards mentioned above, confident that we can actually get more value out of miles than cash-back. But every now and again a cash-back card comes along that's great for travelers and travel-hackers alike.
One such cash-back card is the Barclay Arrival Plus card. (Not to be confused with the other Barclay Arrival card.)
A bit about the card
Currently the Barclay Arrival Plus card is offering a 40,000 point bonus which you can receive after spending $3,000 in the first 90 days. This 40,000 bonus points will transfer into $400 worth of travel reimbursement. This includes hotel charges, airline charges, and rental car charges that exceed the minimum of $25.
You can also earn as you spend at a rate of 2 points per dollar spent.
Also note that after the first year, (which comes without a fee), the annual fee will be $89.
Why we recommend this card
While we definitely rely on frequent flyer miles and hotel points, there are some expenses we can't cover with these currencies. Rental cars are a great example. But also many reward flights will come with a few residual charges, even if you're choosing a low-surcharge mileage program like American Airlines and United Airlines. For instance airport taxes and the like. These are charges you can cover with the Barclay Arrival Plus points.
We just experimented with an entirely free trip to South America; a trip whose travel costs would equal zero. Now, keep in mind that for this trip we considered meal expenses to be unavoidable expenses that we would have whether we were at home buying groceries our out on the road buying food from food stands, so those expenses were not included in the $0 calculation.
This experiment would have been impossible without the opportunity to use the Barclay Arrival Plus points for expenses not covered by frequent flyer miles and hotel points. While we did still have a few expenses we hadn't predicted, we quite nearly made it.
Being smart about your credit card strategies
I must make a disclaimer that is quite crucial in making any credit-card-related strategies successful. Perhaps it goes without saying, but these credit-card strategies are not worth it if you let the credit card get the best of you. the idea is to get the credit cards for their perks and make certain you can make on-time payments, and keep minimal balances on the card, ideally paying off the card before interest kicks in. If you already have a habit of treating your credit cards more like debit cards that you pay off in full on a regular basis, then the travel-hacking strategies are right for you. But if this will be a challenge for you, then it's not worth the risk. Debt is a serious issue and should not be a part of the travel-hacking strategy.
Here's a curious trivia tidbit from U.S. history: In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams took leave from their Europe-based diplomatic duties and traveled to Stratford-upon-Avon to visit the home of William Shakespeare. Not much was recorded of the occasion, but one fact of their pilgrimage to the Bard's birthplace stands out: At some point during the tour, the two American statesmen brandished pocketknives, carved a few slivers from a wooden chair alleged to have been Shakespeare's, and spirited them home as souvenirs.
In retrospect, it's easy to look back on this incident and conclude that — in terms of travel protocol, at least — Jefferson and Adams were complete knuckleheads. The thing is, I haven't seen any evidence to prove that, as world-wandering travelers, our quest for souvenirs has become any more logical or dignified in the ensuing 220 years.
I mention this because I recently traveled to Key West, where a popular section of Duval Street is crowded with souvenir boutiques. In a certain sense, this stretch of Duval felt a tad anachronistic, since — in the age of eBay and similar online shopping venues — you don't have to travel to a place like Key West to load up on painted seashells and exotic cigars. What struck me more, however, was not the items typically associated with Florida, but the bizarre overabundance of souvenir t-shirts, which said things like "Tell your boobs to stop staring at my eyes," or "Farting is my way of saying I (heart) you."
In one sense, it seems ridiculous that anyone would travel to Key West and buy a t-shirt that has nothing whatsoever to do with south Florida ("I'm not a bitch, I'm 'Miss Bitch' to you"). Still, bringing home a tacky keepsake from Key West can serve as a sort of travel credential — an existential referent that proves you went to south Florida and got drunk enough to exercise bad judgment. Similarly, for Jefferson and Adams, those Stratfordian wood-shavings were tangible proof that they had journeyed across England and touched a chair that had, presumably, once cradled Shakespeare's butt.
Indeed, in most cases it would appear that souvenir hunting is not a meaningful examination of place so much as it is a litmus test of our own whims and preconceptions as travelers. In Egypt, for example, generations of tourists have obsessively sought relics that remind them of the Pharaonic landscape they've seen in books and movies. Hence, all the major Egyptian tourist sites do a steady trade in fake papyrus, Great Pyramid paperweights, and alabaster Nefertiti statues — none of which would be found in the home of any self-respecting Egyptian. Similarly, in Calcutta's New Market, an unspoken caste system exists between Indian shoppers and souvenir-seeking tourists. The travelers instinctively gravitate into boutiques that sell carved elephant figurines and decorative jars of saffron, while the Indians shop for rubber bathmats, stainless steel pans, and digital calculators. The implication here, of course, is that buying an electric blender might be more representative of day-to-day Calcutta life than buying Kashmiri silk (though, admittedly, a blender would not look as good in your living room).
Although it may be tempting to blame this discrepancy on modern misconceptions, the tourist quest for souvenirs has always been somewhat skewed. In ancient Anatolia, locals hawked supposed Trojan War relics to credulous Greek travelers, and excavations in Italy have suggested that ancient Romans had a penchant for cheap glass vials painted with pictures of contemporary tourist attractions (none of these have been proven to be snow-globes, to my knowledge, but it's easy to draw a parallel). In medieval times, Christian pilgrims wandering the Holy Land proved to be among the most gullible relic-hunters in human history, as they carted home enough crowns of thorns, Holy Grails, and apostle-femurs to stock a macabre, New Testament-themed WalMart.
If any world culture deserves mention for its souvenir idiosyncrasies, however, it is the Japanese, who have long considered the giving of gifts to be an essential social ritual. Since taking a leisured journey carries a cultural sense of shame at leaving one's home duties, Japanese travelers reflexively seek out omiyage — small gifts that will be presented as an act of respect to the family members and coworkers they left behind. So common is this practice that some Japanese airports stock souvenirs from around the world in an effort to save travelers the hassle of finding them in their actual destinations. Hence, a given Japanese girl's bedroom might feature a Mickey Mouse clock, a miniature Eiffel Tower, and a carved Balinese frog mask — each of which represent her father's past trips to Florida, Paris, and Indonesia, and all which were purchased at Narita Airport.
In pointing out the global-historical foibles of souvenir-seekers, I don't mean to position myself above the madness. Like so many tourists before me, I, too, have been known to display weakness in the face of Peruvian weavings, Latvian amber, and Korean lacquer-ware.
I've found, however, that bringing these items home and putting them on display has taught me an interesting lesson. Whenever I stroll into my office and gaze at my Mongolian masks and Syrian worry-beads, I find that they don't evoke my Asian travel memories quite so effectively as the beat-up, navy-blue "Bruin Track & Field" t-shirt I wore in both countries.
Strange as this may seem, it makes perfect sense: When I bought the masks and the worry-beads, I was shopping — but when I wore the t-shirt I was hiking across the steppes beyond Ulan Bator, or exploring the mountaintop monasteries outside of Damascus.
Indeed, as novelist Anatole France once noted, I'd wager that "it is good to collect things, but it is better to go on walks."
In Stratford-upon-Avon, at least, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams might have done well to heed this advice.
Souvenir boutiques will be found in abundance in any major tourist area, but that doesn't mean you must confine your souvenir-hunt to specialty shops. Any token of your trip — from restaurant placemats, to pressed leaves, to local candy — can serve as a personal keepsake. If seeking gifts for loved ones at home, check department stores and supermarkets before you hit the souvenir shop — odds are you'll find something cheaper (and just as authentic) in these types of places.
2) Save souvenir shopping until the end of the journey.
Let a souvenir be a souvenir — a keepsake of experience — and don't go off shopping for knickknacks before you've had some real travel adventures. Not only will this give you a social context for your destination before you start commemorating it with collectables, but it will also save you the hassle of dragging this newfound loot around with you as your journey progresses. An added bonus is that, as a shopper, you will have a better sense for the price and quality of your souvenirs once you've traveled and made some comparisons.
3) The experience is more important than the keepsake.
In the end, shopping anywhere is still just shopping. Don't let the hunt for souvenirs get in the way of amazing travel experiences.
Most people are somewhat familiar with the concept of collecting frequent flier miles. My husband and I have built our whole travel strategy around frequent flier miles in fact, but there's another travel reward currency with huge benefits once you understand how it works.
Bank points. Specifically I'm referring to "American Express Membership Rewards" and "Chase Ultimate Rewards."
First lets go over what these points are and how to earn them. Then, we'll take a look at why they're beneficial to have around.
What are Amex points and Chase points?
When you see an airline card that earns miles, you know that the airline has partnered with a bank to have a credit card that earns towards their own frequent flier program. However, the banks ant in on the loyalty program system too. So, like many other banks, American Express and Chase bank have both developed their own rewards system with credit cards that earn points towards that system.
These points are extremely versatile. You can redeem them for cash if you'd like, or surf through the list of other options, including both travel that can be booked directly with points, or travel that can be booked by transferring directly into a frequent flier or hotel program. The latter is greatly recommended over booking travel directly with your points, but we'll discuss that in a bit.
How do you earn these points?
These points can be earned with American Express cards or Chase cards that aren't partnered with some other program as mentioned above. For instance, American Express has partnered with the hotel group "Starwood" to create a credit card for their loyalty program. That card will not earn you Amex points, it will earn Starwood Preferred Guest Points. But the American Express Gold card and the American Express Gold card are both cards that are not partnered with a different program and will earn you Amex points.
Similarly, the Chase Freedom card, Chase Sapphire Preferred, and Chase Ink Bold or Ink Plus are all cards that will earn you Chase points rather than the points of a program they've partnered with.
Why these points are beneficial?
These points are beneficial purely for their ability to transfer to a variety of airline or hotel programs. Find a list of Chase transfer partners here. Also find a list of American Express transfer partners here. I'm going to emphasize that again: the benefit is in transferring. This is not to be confused with booking travel directly with your points, as you'll get much less travel for your points that way. Think of it like purchasing something through a retailer versus wholesale.
Think about it. If you have American Airline miles, that means you can use those miles to fly with American Airlines or any of their alliance partners. That gives you quite a few options, yes, but if you have bank points, you can transfer your points to an array of airlines representing any alliance, or transfer them into a hotel program. This allows you to be very flexible based on your needs. For instance sometimes we'll be arriving someplace with no plan for accommodations and no hotel points at our exposure. In that kind of situation, we could always transfer Amex points to Hilton points.
Or, as we approach our travel plans, we can compare prices between the different mileage programs and transfer our points only once we've decided whose mileage program offers the cheapest options to our travel destination. If we compare prices in points and see that United has the cheapest reward flight to Asia, then we can transfer our Chase points to United.
Transferring points.
The main thing to remember is that your points need to be transferred into the mileage program (or hotel program) of your choice for you to get the best value, (rather than keeping them as Amex or Chase points and booking travel directly that way.) I know I've already said this, but it's one of the easiest ways to get more value out of your earnings.
The steps for transferring are fairly simple.
American Express Membership Rewards Points transfer process:
1.) First sign into your American Express online account here.
2.) Click on "Rewards" at the top and then select "Use Points" on the drop-down.
3.) Click on the "Travel" tab.
4.) Select the "Transfer Points" option.
5.) There, you will see a "Hotels" tab and an "Airlines" tab. Select the one which applies and click on the icon of your transfer choice. From there, you will be prompted for the rest of the transfer.
Chase Ultimate Rewards Points transfer process:
1.) Sign into your Chase Ultimate Rewards account here.
Now…here's where it gets a little complicated, so I strongly recommend reading my post on the intricacies of Chase. The basic thing to note here is that only certain Chase cards allow points-transfer as a benefit of the card. This means that even if you have a card that earns Chase points, you won't be able to transfer them until you have one of the following cards: Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Bold, or Chase Ink Plus.
2.) Provided you have one of the cards listed above, the transfer process is very simple. At the top of your account page you will see a "Point Transfer" tab.
3.) You will see two options, one for hotels and one for airlines. Just as with Amex points, you will see a display of icons. Select the one you want and follow the prompts.
So what are the recommended transfers?
With Amex pints we will usually transfer to one of the following: Air Canada, British Airways or ANA. We base this decision on availability as well as whose flights seem to produce the least amount of fuel surcharges.
With Chase points we almost always transfer to United miles. This is because United miles have pretty much no fuel surcharges. This means that your "free flight" won't have a surprise $200 fee tacked onto it. Not to mention United's mileage program offers fairly good award prices for economy and also allows one free stopover for any roundtrip, international award flight. We love United and thus, we love Chase points too.
Let's recap the basic points:
1.) The bank points especially worth noting are American Express Membership Rewards points (Amex points) and Chase Ultimate Rewards points (Chase points.)
2.) Bank points are useful for allowing flexibility. You can earn knowing that you'll later be able to transfer based on your travel needs.
3.) Transferring points will give you a better value than booking directly with your points, though your online account allows you to do either.
Again, for a more in-depth look at Chase points specifically (our favorite) I recommend checking out this post on getting to know Chase.
From the very beginning of our travel together, my husband and I have done all of our international flying with frequent-flier-miles. With Asia and Easter Island both on our itinerary for our first gap-year of travel, crossing the distances we had in mind would have seemed financially impossible for us without frequent flier miles.
Perhaps there's a misconception out there that you must first pay for a significant amount of flying before you can accumulate enough frequent-flier-miles for a free international flight. That may be true when using the traditional approach to earning miles. But there is another strategy that has become quite popular for earning miles that requires no flying at all.
Credit cards.
There are dozens of them. And of course, it can get quite confusing. So I've put together a list of 10 things to help you understand travel rewards cards, and therefore, use them to help you with your own travel goals.
1.) Not all cards advertised as "travel rewards cards" will earn you frequent flier miles.
There are basically four types of currencies you can earn with travel rewards cards: 1) frequent flier miles with a mileage program, 2) hotel points with a hotel rewards program, 3) points that can be transferred into frequent flier miles or hotel points, and 4) points that can be used to reimburse money you spend on travel.
The latter can be good for covering what frequent flier miles cannot, but won't be as significant in earning you a free international flight.
2.) Just because a card is offering a bonus, it doesn't mean it's a good bonus.
All the major travel credit cards advertise mile or point bonuses. This is the main appeal in many cases however, it's worthwhile to do some research when you see a card offering a bonus. For instance as mentioned above, there are various currencies in the travel rewards card world. Find out what an advertised bonus could realistically translate to in terms of travel.
Even once you have acquainted yourself with the bonus' currency, it's also good to know the difference between a good bonus and a weak bonus. At least when it comes to miles, hotel points, or points that can be transferred into miles, we generally tell people that 50,000 points is a good bonus.
3.) There are often requirements you must reach before you earn the bonus.
Occasionally a card will offer a bonus that you can receive as soon as you sign up or make your first purchase. But more often there is a spend-requirement you must reach first. Generally it's set anywhere from $1,000-$10,000 spent within the first 3-6 months depending on the card.
Many cards offer bill-pay set-ups online to help you work towards that spend-requirement with your ordinary spending.
In the travel-hacking community however, it has become quite popular to use your credit card to purchase something that can easily be turned back into useable cash. Gift cards for example have paved the way for a cheap though admittedly complicated strategy for reaching spend requirements.
4.) Many cards also have an annual fee, though sometimes it's waived for the first year.
It's up to you how to handle this annual fee. Sometimes the card's regular earnings from ordinary spending, annual gifts, or other card perks are enough for the annual fee to be worth it. That is up to you but you should understand that canceling a card after just a year can have an effect (albeit a fairly small one) on your credit score.
Your credit score takes your average length of history into account and having multiple 1-year accounts will lower that average. Because of this, we recommend having a few no annual fee cards that you will keep, even if you never use them. We also recommend that, if a person doesn't feel they can keep up with the annual fee (or doesn't wish to), they try having the card downgraded to a no-annual fee card after the first year.
5.) Collecting miles with credit-cards has a lot to do with credit score.
Most of the good travel cards require you to have at least a fair credit-score for approval. You can get a free credit score estimate with sites like Credit Sesame or Credit Karma. Technically they are just estimates, but they tend to be pretty close to accurate.
6.) Having multiple credit cards can actually improve your credit score.
Credit score works a little differently than many people may assume. It is less a measure of your financial status, and more a measure of your ability to be responsible with debt. It's all about debt management really.
Therefore, the more cards you are responsible with, the higher your score will be. We have tested this and seen it to be true, as have many others.
Of course, the most important point here is that being responsible with multiple cards has a good effect. Being irresponsible with multiple cards could be very dangerous.
You can read more about what responsible credit card use is in our post about how credit score and travel-hacking work.
7.) Applying for cards too closely together will prevent you from getting approved.
Applying for one card today and another one tomorrow will make you look desperate and will prevent you from getting approved for a card, even if your credit score is great. If there are multiple rewards cards you're interested in, wait at least 3 months between each application. Some suggest you don't need to wait that long, but this is the safer strategy.
Credit cards are a huge part of the travel-hacking budget strategy and these 7 things will give you a place to start your research. Ultimately, the idea here is that rewards cards are helping you and that you're in control of them, not the other way around. While trial and error is certainly a part of everything in life, especially when it comes to credit and credit cards, it's good to be as informed as possible from the beginning.
Let's face it: It's summer and you're broke. If you've somehow managed to make it to Europe and have some money for food and shelter, you might not have cash for much else. Trust me, I've been there. Everyone knows activities in places like London, for example, is pricey. But it's important to know that there are several fun and interesting things to see and do that are completely free.
With that in mind, this is the first in a series focusing on free sights and activities in some of Europe's best cities.
Taking the London example, here's just a short list of free activities that give you a good taste of that amazing city:
-The National Gallery is free, although that may surprise many. Yes, one of the world's great art museums—hosting works by world-renown masters—does not charge for entry.
-Piccadilly Circus, the gateway to the West End, is a colorful sea of people—especially when the sun goes down and the neon lights wash over the surroundings. Great people watching.
-The Changing of the Guard at the palace is always a sight to behold. The military pomp has been tradition for centuries, epitomizing military precision.
-Regent's Park includes the city zoo and a wildlife garden. An oasis of leafy tranquility in the heart of the metropolis.
-There's also St. James's Park, ringed by some of London's biggest landmarks (Buckingham Palace and Whitehall) featuring gorgeous greens and a soothing lake when the Tube and the crowds drive you mad.
-Speaking of great urban parks, no list would be complete without mention of Hyde Park. Lots of open air festivals and concerts are held here, especially in summer. Amble on over and enjoy.
-The Tate Modern (free except for certain special exhibitions) hosts a dazzling array of modern art, if you're into that sort of thing.
-The rightfully revered British Museum is another world-class treasure trove of history that deserves your time. It's a jaw-droppingly thorough survey of human civilization.
Of course, the best parts of travel, meeting the people and sampling the culture, are always free—but having a list of other free stuff to do certainly helps.
If you're vagabonding in SEA and trying to get off the beaten track the Indonesian island of Sulawesi is a great place to do just that, especially during the low season of Dec. – Feb. There is a reasonably reliable network of bus service around the island but the roads are terrible and the rate of bus crashes seems (based on observation) higher than average for Asia. Not surprising, given the state of the roadways. If you can rent your own car, it's a ticket to freedom on the island, but be prepared for people to be shocked that you're driving yourself. Apparently everyone hires a driver or takes busses!
If you are looking for an excellent guide or arranger of further guides, Dodo Mursalim, in Makassar is your man. He'll pick you up at the airport, deliver you at hellish hours, and even put you up in his house. He's a wealth of information about Sulawesi and has uncanny connections all over the island.

Rantepao is in the heart of the region of Tana Toraja, which should not be missed. Plan to stay several days to a week, slow down, explore, and try to see a funeral. Nicholas Pabara is a fantastic guide, he asked me to share his phone number with fellow travelers: 082-192-183-677. Having a local to tell you the stories, explain the history and find the out of the way things that you won't find on your own is priceless. You'll definitely want him to help you place a bet at the cock fights!
Bira is at the eastern tip of the northern arm of Sulawesi. It's got a pleasant tourist slum with cheap accommodation, but if you head out of the tourist district to Bara Beach there are six little bungalows for rent on a deserted beach that are a little slice of heaven. A boat can be arranged to the facing island where the diving is world class. This is the place to kick back and relax for a few days away from the hustle of Indonesian cities.
Samalona island is listed as an afternoon trip from Makassar in some of the guides. A better bet would be to head out for three or four days and stay in the home of one of the seven families (all inter-related) who live on the island. To get there, take a blue bus to Fort Rotterdam, cross the street to the waterfront and the boatmen will find you. There is no electricity (a generator will be turned on in the evening) no running water, no shower, and no hot water, but it's a welcome respite from the bustle of Indonesian cities and the snorkeling is pretty good. You'll find the islanders welcoming, generous, and their fresh from the ocean cooking worth staying an extra day for. If you have an instrument, bring it, music is welcome in the evenings. It costs about $20 USD a night for lodging and three square; can't beat that.
It's a well-worn practice the world over: customers and vendors talking price. CNNGo tackled this issue in a post titled How to bargain: the ultimate guide to scoring a deal in the markets of Asia.
Many of the tips will be familiar to experienced vagabonders: shop around, be polite, and be ready to walk away. What makes the article special is the little details about particular destinations. Some examples:
Have you negotiated over a purchase at a market? Please share your stories in the comments.
Loco2 launched not long ago. A site dedicated to train travel throughout Europe. I've exchanged emails with its founder, and "the team" has the vision of creating a source of online train booking "as easy as flight booking"—it appears to be well on its way. The site has a video short that explains how to find, book and share itinerary with friends. It also features a blog that covers things like watching the Tour de France by train, photography by Steve McCurry, and interviews with The Man in Seat61.
If you are not privy to that last mention; the man in Seat61 site was created by former railway engineer Mark Smith in 2001, and received many cudos in 2007 (including a blog post on this site.) That site alone is a plethora of information about world-wide train travel.
However, it doesn't have the unique Engine Room forum which Loco2 has created to offer advice broken down easily by country with the latest information about areas. If you're considering Europe by train; check into this site. If you've travelled the area recently and have suggestions, they are open to building a better, more useful community…
I'm not talking about toting Portuguese ceramics around Europe or filling your backpack with I Love (insert city name) t-shirts at every stop. I'm talking about small pieces that will always remind you of your time away from home. In many places, you can get a beautiful local print for less than what a mass produced picture would cost at a Linens 'N Things.
Here are some rules I like to live by on the road:
1.) Even if you don't buy, interacting with shopkeepers is a great way to glimpse into local life. Window shopping is free, and can lead to some hysterical experiences, seen here as Rolf explores a market in Morocco on his No Baggage Challenge.
2.) Research what kinds of things your destination has to offer. Know the price range for a Nepali cashmere scarf before hitting the streets, and also look into potential scams. Bangkok is known for luring tourists to faux gem stores, charging customers competitive prices for lookalike gems.
3.) Analyze the quality of the item in question. Not only do most local vendors not have return policies, but you'll likely be onto a new city or even home before you notice it's cheaply made or broken.
4.) Look for fair trade shops when purchasing handicrafts, which ensure that the artists earn fair wages and work in good conditions. Friends International shop in Phnom Penh is one of my favorite examples.
5.) Watch out for breakables…If you're browsing the Czech glass shops of Prague, don't stand too close…If you break, you buy.
6.) It's fun to say "I got this in Laos!" But make sure you're buying for the right reasons. Do you love what you see? Is it unique to the region? Is it something that's truly worth carrying in a backpack until you return home?
If room in my backpack permits, here are my favorite things to look for abroad:
Postcards and stationary: These are great reminders of world travel, and can also be shared with others! Each postcard or letter sent means less "stuff" in your backpack.
Handcrafted jewelry: I look for something that is unique, wearable and won't break the bank. One of my favorite things is a small silver bracelet from the Black Hmong woman who walked with me for 5 hours while trekking in Sapa, Vietnam.
Handwoven crafts: Travels in South America and Southeast Asia have brought me to incredible villages where handwoven products often take weeks to make and cost less than 10 dollars.
Artwork: most small prints can lay flat in a suitcase or fit between a book, and can then be framed at home.
What do you think? Have you fallen into the tourist trap of useless "stuff?" Where have you gotten your favorite souvenirs? Do you have any tips for other travelers who are interested in picking up a souvenir or two?
Many Vagablogging readers are familiar with Matt Kepnes, or Nomadic Matt. Kepnes's website is packed full of information on travel deals, travel tips, travel guides, and loads of interesting travel tales suited to any genre. Now Kepnes has taken the next step and has published his own Ebook.
Kepnes's book is a smooth read. Even over the details of dollars, budgets, and savings options, it never reads like a dry financial manual. Kepnes's book documents specific dollar amounts for many elements of his travels. He starts with how to save money before you even hit the road by detailing the more advantageous international banking options and airline carriers.
Kapnes's book isn't just for the new traveler in the beginning stages of planning out their trip. There is a lot of useful information that, even after years of long-term stints on the road, I still haven't quite been able to work out, like making air miles work for you, or all of the ropes and rules of upgrading to business class on those long flights. Sure, there are loads of details for beginning travelers, like how to pick the right backpack for the road or how to save for your trip before you depart. Though there is something for everyone in this book. Whether you're a novice when it comes to air miles, or if you're trying to decipher the endless web of ESL jobs or volunteer options abroad.
There is also a Destinations section in the book, where Kepnes offers readers a look at likely travel budgets for areas on nearly all continents of the globe. He even includes budgets for activities popular to a particular destination, like scuba diving in Southeast Asia. Kepnes also compiles a list of great hostels and budget guesthouses for various locations, along with discount coupons should you be in the area and decide check out one of the accommodations.
You can download a PDF format of the book from Kepnes's website for US$14. The book is also available for your Kindle or Ipad.

Steve Farrell says:
Changes to the motorcycle test aimed at improving safety have emerged.
Exercises in which many learners have crashed will be conducted at lower speeds to make them safer.
Previously learners have been strictly required to reach at least 31mph before swerving around cones and performing an emergency stop, but trials are underway in which they only have to go 27mph.
They are...

Why not pay a load of old women in Nissan Micra's to drive around Brands Hatch. Then the riders have to ride around the track 2 times in both directions without crashing into one. Be just like going to work then.

The test is already extremely overcomplicated, more difficult than the car test and certainly more difficult than any kind of test in by gone times.
I dont know if youve ever seen or attempted the swerve manouvre, but for a learner to perform it, its quite a feat, you accelerate from a stand still into a sharp coned corner, if you knock a cone, you fail, at 30mph round the bend on a typical learner bike the pegs will be grinding, as you come out of the corner you have barely 5 meters to accelerate, so your coming out of a sharp bend from steep lean angle turning the throttle wide open, then swerving through a fairly tight gap, then stopping, in a box, at virtually emergency stop levels of braking.
The speed trap is solid metal, if you mess up your swerve and it hit, its like running into a kerb, your definaetly off, also braking too soon or in the wet has a good chance of causing and off. Overall a very daft test, since what its representing is coming out of a blind corner, flat out, accelerating flat out towards a hazard then swerving round it, then stopping to i imagine, go beat the crap out of the car driver who just pulled out infront of you.

I'd be interested to see how they'll do this on the road.
I did my test last year, as for it being hard to do the swerve test, I don't see the problem, it's simulating a blind bend it's to give you space to get up to speed, you go round the bend at about 15-20 mph, then accelerate to 30mph, not hard on a 500cc, does require thrashing a 125 though. As for hitting the speed trap, you go through that before you swerve or do the emergency stop.
I'd say it's safer as it is, as there's no other vehicles to worry about.
Isn't the idea to learn to control a bike? I thought the whole process was good, and don't see what needs changing, if people are falling off you'd have to think what would happen on the road.

There isn't a problem with the swerve test on a 500cc bike, so long as you can actually handle a bike of that size. The problem is folk on 125's concentrating on trying to achieve the minimum speed and forgetting about everything else. They should have just made the min speed for 125's at 25mph.

Did my test 2 years ago at the age of 17 now 19 with a sv650s. anyway for me i did it on a honda cg 125 ofcourse and yes i was a 17 year old man so yes i did'nt exactly find it hard but i do agree that its is over complicated theres 4 things i think that actually have some importance to riding and thats the emergency stop, u-turn, firgure of 8 and pushing the bike as if you can't push a bike then id be a bit worried ofocurse women might struggle but its important to learn if your in a tight spot or moving it around in your garage etc.. i see these as the most challenging parts and the ones that you'll most probally be doing or using the techniques on the road at some point otherwise the rest is just their for the sake of it.
As my dad does bike instructing hes seen it go wrong on test and when i hear what he has to say its clear that its always rider error and nothing to do with the test so changing it all the time isnt going to improve things. doing a test like this in a controlled area is the best option for examiner and student for saftey.
That my opinion on it.

I found the test easy but I did it before they brought in the 'swerve round something whilst speeding and demonstrate a controlled fall' off road part....
Now the government are basically admitting that the changes were a failure and are basically back tracking but trying to make it look as if they are improving. How much money have they wasted?
Usual story with the usual no admittal of defeat and complete incompetence.
I found the car test a bit of a joke in its over complication. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, ever reverses round corners or does three point turns like you have to demonstrate in that test just like nobody ever swerves around on their bike whilst braking. Someone somewhere in government really should venture out into the real world at some point and take their findings back to the many waste of time select committee meetings they hold....
What I still don't get is that you can pass either the car or bike tests and jump onto the fastest road going version of either STRAIGHT AWAY! That's where the problems start, everyone pushes themselves in way too deep. I was lucky, I'd had a de-restricted Aprilia RS125 for about 6 months previous to doing my test and done about 8000 miles. No test will EVER demonstrate experience correctly. Time the government hand the 'testing' over to bike centres where there isn't a 'test' as such but more an on-going demonstration and once a measured degree of competency in the 'real world' is achieved then the candidate receives their licence.
Government wouldn't do such a crazy simple thing though as we servants simply aren't trustworthy and our judgement isn't worth shit. Takes one to know one eh?

on my test nearly two years ago in the wet and didnt have any problem getting my lean on round the corner , the problem was on the other side and that at 6 foot 4 & 13 stone getting up to 31 mph was abit of a struggle! If once you pass your test you can ride a bike with 33bhp then surely thats what you should learn on!? anyway thats a whole different pile of government related sh!t.
Now i have an Aprilia RSV and have no problem hitting 31mph thankyou very much! ;)

might one day go over.
Don't live in a dream, wake up to reality
If you live to be old, you will have many
stories to tell.
Don't let others make all your choices.

Pakistan: Now or Never?
Perspectives on Pakistan
from India Insight:
Kashmiri separatists seek Saudi mediation to end dispute
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, a senior Kashmiri separatist leader, has urged Saudi Arabia to use its influence and bring India and Pakistan closer to solve the decades-long conflict over the disputed Himalayan region.
Farooq arrived in the Kingdom last Thursday to perform the Umrah pilgrimage and his visit, two weeks after the visit of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, is being considered significant.
Farooq is chairman of Kashmir's moderate separatist alliance -- the All Parties Hurriyat Conference.
Saudi Arabia has old and close ties with Muslim Pakistan and has also been mentioned as a possible mediator in any political settlement with the Taliban in Afghanistan, where India and Pakistan have been battling for influence since long.
Seeking Saudi cooperation on Afghanistan and Pakistan
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is making the first visit to Saudi Arabia by an Indian leader since 1982, seeking to build economic ties and to enlist the kingdom's help in improving regional security. While much of the focus is likely to be on securing oil supplies for India's growing economy, the visit is also part of the complex manoeuvres by regional players jostling for position on Afghanistan and beyond.
Singh told Saudi journalists ahead of the visit that he would discuss with Saudi King Abdullah how to promote greater stability and security in the region. "Both King Abdullah and I reject the notion that any cause justifies wanton violence against innocent people. We are strong allies against the scourge of extremism and terrorism that affects global peace and security," he said.

Windows 7 Shutdown
Can anyone help.
My Windows 7 suddenly shuts down. The screen goes blank but the power button is still on.
I seriously doubt if it is a promlem with the actual computer as I run two SATA hard drives - one with Windows and the other running Zorin 7 (Linux). When in the Linux OS it works perfectly, the only time the problem happens is when I am in Windows and particularly playing a Game (Black Ops etc.).
My thoughts are that it is one of three things, corrupt OS, corrupt hard drive or faulty graphics card.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64
You could try running a sfc/scannow to check for and possibly repair any corrupted system files. We have many excellent tutorials here at the forums written by some very knowledgeable people. Heres one on how to do that if you haven't before : SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Welcome to the forums btw!

Problem fixed
Thanks for your help, I tried this and other programs to check the system.
I suspected that it was the graphics card and when I went to check it, I found that somehow, the Sata cable from one of the hard drives, was touching the fan and stopping it from operating.
I have done a quick test, playing a game and it seems to be okay. I am lucky it did not cause a complete failure of the card

Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Monday's session are Hhgregg Inc. (HGG), Select Comfort Corp. (SCSS) and Walgreen Co. (WAG).
The first retailer out with holiday results, Hhgregg, expects that its fiscal third-quarter results will be well below estimates. Same-store sales slumped 11% amid a 20% tumble for consumer electronics and 25% for computing/wireless. The weakness will result in a profit miss for the quarter, but Chief Executive Dennis May adds the retailer didn't partake in the race to the bottom--selling product regardless of profitability--in an effort to hold up its bottom line. Shares were down 13% at $11.78 premarket.
Select Comfort said its fourth-quarter results won't meet its forecast thanks to December not being up to snuff. That "reflected a tepid retail holiday-shopping season," Chief Executive Shelly Ibach stated. "We expect this challenging environment to continue in 2014 and are planning accordingly." Shares were down 13% at $18.60 premarket.
Walgreen reported that after two months of increased same-store traffic away from the pharmacy, that measure fell again in December at Walgreen. But last month's 1.3% drop from a year earlier was more than offset by the average purchase size rising 3.8%, pushing front-end same-store sales up 2.5% alongside a 5.3% jump in prescriptions filled. Overall same-store sales jumped 6.1%, the biggest gain since September despite the front-end underperformance. Shares were up 1.6% at $57.75 premarket.
Private-equity firm Carlyle Group LP (CG) named former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski as managing director and partner in its U.S. buyout team, with Mr. Genachowski returning to the private sector where he previously worked as a venture capitalist.
CommonWealth REIT (CWH) said Monday that it had invited activist investor Keith Meister of Corvex Management LP to join its board as the company also appointed two independent directors to the board.
General Electric Co.'s (GE) healthcare unit agreed to acquire several of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.'s (TMO) life-sciences businesses for roughly $1.06 billion.
Men's Wearhouse Inc. (MW) commenced a cash tender offer to buy Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc. (JOSB) for about $1.6 billion, the latest bid in a months-long acquisition battle between the rival men's clothing retailers.
T-Mobile US Inc. (TMUS) agreed to buy a block of airwave rights from rival VerizonWireless to bolster its network in major cities. T-Mobile--the fourth-largest U.S. carrier behind Verizon, AT&T Inc. (T) and Sprint Corp. (S)--intends to pay $2.365 billion in cash and transfer spectrum licenses valued at about $950 million to Verizon. The larger carrier originally bought the spectrum for about $2.4 billion.
Verint Systems Inc. (VRNT) agreed to buy customer-service software firm Kana Software Inc. from private equity firm Accel-KKR for about $514 million in cash, as the data-analysis company seeks to expand its offerings.

text: The Current Cinema January 31, 2011 Issue Miles To Go "The Way Back" and "Biutiful." By Anthony Lane Table of Contents Colin Farrell and Ed Harris go on a long trek in a movie directed by Peter Weir. Credit FRANK STOCKTON The new Peter Weir film, "The Way Back," is set in Siberia, and then in Mongolia. Then in Tibet. And India. And, at long last, Poland. All of which would suggest that Weir has maintained his obsession with the restless, the fugitive, and the lost. It was there in the burning, bespectacled gaze of Harrison Ford, as he steered an American family into the dark heart of "The Mosquito Coast"; in the near-maniacal quickness that Weir, better than anyone, saw and controlled in Mel Gibson, packing him off to fight in "Gallipoli" and to report on Jakartan unrest in "The Year of Living Dangerously"; in the doggedness with which Jim Carrey, in "The Truman Show," sought to flee his false home for something real; and even in Andie MacDowell's tropically lush apartment, in "Green Card," where jungle music thrummed at night as she and Gérard Depardieu lay in separate rooms, awake with unappeasable lust. "The Way Back" is notably unlusty. Its characters are so thoroughly reduced to the basics of life that even sex feels like a luxury—a far echo of civilization, like hygiene or books. The first quarter of the film takes place in a Siberian prison camp, in 1940, and there are rare, affecting moments when that echo returns: when one inmate, an artist, does sketches of naked women to order, for a fee, and another retells remembered scenes from "Treasure Island" to a bunch of stone-faced thugs. They listen like children, entranced, as if any glimpse of a world elsewhere, especially a warm one, were a blessing. For other, less patient residents, escape is not confined to the imagination. People like Janusz (Jim Sturgess), a young Polish officer; Valka (Colin Farrell), a murderous Russian; and an American known as Smith (Ed Harris). "And your first name?" he is asked. "Mr.," he replies. We are a long way from James Stewart here; his Mr. Smith got only as far as Washington, but this one, drawn by the Communist ideal, took a job in Moscow, before falling afoul of the regime. Harris—clearly trusted by Weir, who gave him the godlike role of the TV director in "The Truman Show"—is as solid as ever, his features more riven and desperate than those of his colleagues. He seems oddly at home in these whittled-down conditions, whereas the rest of the actors, through no fault of their own, never look as shrivelled by hunger as they should. Profound deprivation, of the kind inflicted by the Gulags, may be—and perhaps should be—impossible to fake. Seven prisoners sneak through the wire one night and head south, toward Lake Baikal. In the opening credits, we learn how many of them finally make it to freedom, crossing the Himalayas into India after a trek of some four thousand miles. This strikes me as a misstep on Weir's part, since not to know the survival rate would constitute the only shred of suspense. The Homeric journey, grounded in the wish to return home, is at once the most venerable of all narrative templates and, as "The Way Back" demonstrates, one of the trickiest to dramatize. Anthony Minghella hit the same problem in "Cold Mountain": an odyssey, when you get down to it, is just one damn thing after another. The best scene in "The Way Back" is the first one, in which Janusz, presumably in Moscow, is denounced as a spy on the evidence of his wife. Her baseless testimony, he realizes, has been wrung from her under torture, and the ardor of this sequence, with its blaze of moral anguish, makes the rest of the movie, for all its mountainous trials of endurance, feel a little flat and stretched out. "The Way Back" is based on "The Long Walk," a memoir by Slavomir Rawicz, published in 1956. Since then, substantial doubts have been raised about its veracity, although Weir's screenplay, which he wrote with Keith Clarke, is itself more free than faithful, with names changed and major episodes elided. It must have been tempting to keep Ushakova, the camp commandant's wife, who, according to Rawicz, conspired with him to aid the breakout, but no trace of her remains onscreen. If anything, untruth is not dodged here but brought to the fore, as the men meet a teen-age runaway, Irena (Saoirse Ronan), who keeps changing her story, in a bid to earn their help. She also has the knack of getting them to confide their stories, which they have hitherto hoarded like bread. From all this paltering rises the suspicion that "The Way Back," like so many heroic accounts, may be gilded with a touch of the tall tale. As a result, anyone who goes into the movie expecting to be swept away is likely to leave underwhelmed, and the images that linger are not the soaring helicopter shots of hills and vales but the occasional shimmers that—like Irena's lamentations, or like most of Weir's "Picnic at Hanging Rock"—are slightly too seductive to be trusted. As an Australian, he seems more at ease with the dust and scrub of the Mongolian desert, in the film's middle section, than in the snows that cap its beginning and end, and we get a wonderful heat haze, with raptors wheeling above, that may or may not be a mirage. It's enough to make the thirsty travellers run, just as the drifting sea fog at the start of "Master and Commander," Weir's previous film, was enough to rouse the ship's captain from his quarters, in case it concealed a foreign foe. This new work is equally spectacular, and Weir continues to revel in the probability that his characters will stumble into the surreal, or scavenge beyond the frontiers of the civilized. But he also knows how to excite us, hardly a frivolous gift in any filmmaker, and I'm not sure, in that regard, whether "The Way Back" is really a way forward for Peter Weir, or whether we should mark it down as a long, magnificent slog. Bring me the head of Javier Bardem. Did you ever see a nobler noggin? In repose, its heavy, squared-off mass seems to have been sculpted by Epstein or Gaudier-Brzeska, while the clean curve of nose and brow offers the pagan profile not of a movie actor but of a Greek wrestler, bashed in life and purified in marble. Yet there is nothing blockish in the play of Bardem's emotions, and he would hardly have been cast in films like "Jamon Jamon" were he not such a randy paragon of flesh and blood. Lately, as if to taunt that joie de vivre, directors have coaxed him toward death—either doling it out, in "No Country for Old Men," or beckoning it on, as his quadriplegic character did in "The Sea Inside." Those heavy eyelids of his, it turns out, tell not merely of postcoital fatigue but of a more prolonged tristesse, and that is the mood that Alejandro González Iñárritu, the director of "Biutiful," Bardem's latest enterprise, is most avid to explore. Bardem plays Uxbal, who mooches through Barcelona—not the Barcelona of Gaudí and gastronomes but the scuzzier districts, where tourists fear to tread—looking both purposeful and distrait, like a bull without an arena. We quickly learn that he has inoperable cancer, which has travelled from his prostate to his liver and his bones. The question thus becomes, as it did for the hero of Kurosawa's "Ikiru," whose tumor was observed in an X-ray in the opening shot: What do you do with a death sentence? Uxbal is not a man to lie back and ruminate at leisure, for the simple reason that he has no leisure. He is too busy scraping a livelihood as a middleman for immigrants—supplying Senegalese with cheap bags to hawk on fancy streets, or delivering Chinese workers to construction sites, and oiling the process with payoffs to the cops. Home is no less fraught: Uxbal is an adoring, manners-correcting father to Ana (Hanaa Bouchaib) and Mateo (Guillermo Estrella), but his estranged wife, Marambra (Maricel Alvarez), is a ruin, jagged with drink, who cannot be trusted with the kids. The scene in which Uxbal finds Mateo alone, abandoned by his mother, with a bruised face, is deeply upsetting, and all the harder to erase because Bardem plays it so calmly, reining in the urge to erupt. Dormant volcanoes, ready to rumble, are always the ones to watch. González Iñárritu has, I am relieved to report, narrowed his angle of late, curbing the global sprawl of "Babel" for something tighter, and parcelling out information with care, like Uxbal with his rolls of cash. Only after some time, for instance, do we realize whom Marambra is sleeping with. (Uxbal himself doesn't yet know.) But "Biutiful" outstays its welcome, and the director still can't resist a tempting tangent, darting down the side streets of the plot in pursuit of the foreign workers and their grinding lives. Ethically, this is commendable, but it throws the arc of the drama out of whack, while a more suggestive subplot—the fact that Uxbal is psychic, paid by locals to converse with their dead—is only touched on. A curter, single-track version might have allowed González Iñárritu, as it did Kurosawa, to pay more fitting tribute to his unhailed, unconquering hero. Nonetheless, the film should be endured, for the sake of its leading man. Look at him, a tower of failing strength, as Uxbal embraces Ana near the end, and listen to his heartbeat next to hers. Soon it will be silent, but for now it's as loud as a drum. ♦ Anthony Lane has been a film critic for The New Yorker since 1993.

McCain was influenced by his experiences, and he says that he held up under torture. Some other pilots did not hold up as well. Perhaps torture works better on some than on others. In any event, what was done to McCain was not waterboarding.

Morning Brew – Friday, March 29: A lesbian wedding in 1970, Kelli Giddish on looking like "the perfect family" with Coco
Good morning! TGIF!
If you're wondering why someone LGBT on your Facebook is against marriage, maybe this Salon piece will help explain them to you. Out lesbian law professor Nancy Polikoff explains her reasoning:
My critique of marriage stems from the 1970s. As gay people began talking about this more, there were these questions about using the resources of fledgling legal groups on marriage. There was a significant contingent of people who identified as feminists who said, "This is the wrong approach, this isn't what we should be doing." That viewpoint carried the day for a long time. My point of view dates back to long before where we are now.
An interesting perspective! But on the other side of the coin, if you stand with Edith Windsor in her case against DOMA, check out this site and add your name.
Michelle Shocked showed up to her cancelled gig in Santa Cruz with her face covered and her mouth taped shut that said "silenced by fear." She strummed a guitar but was not allowed inside the venue, obviously.
Love gays and alcohol are pretty much the focus of this list: 25 Ways to Live Life Like Karen Walker.
Jet magazine wrote about the nuptials of two black lesbians in Chicago back in 1970. What a handsome couple!
Kelli Giddish said she loves working with her SVU co-star Ice-T. In fact, she hangs out with his wife Coco and shared this with Playboy magazine:
I've got this picture of my dog and Coco and I just laid out on the couch as if we were the perfect family.
Kelli and Coco would be quite the interesting couple!
Out writer Ariel Levy profiled comic Tig Notaro for this month's Elle magazine. An excerpt:
As Notaro was telling me this, she was playing with a loose, pink-faced platinum Rolex on her wrist. When I complimented her watch, Notaro's reserved countenance cracked open for the first time in our conversation—she became visibly excited and a little flustered. As it turned out, the watch belongs to an actress Notaro has had a crush on for years, whom she started dating just as her life was shifting from terrible to incredible. "Tomorrow is her birthday, so I thought about getting this fixed," Notaro said. "I'm not a religious person; I'm not even, like, a spiritual person. But it felt like she was placed in my life, and it carried me through."

In case you were wondering, Sassy from Vh1′s Black Ink Crew wanted to clear something up:
I'm not a lesbian. I'm just more more attracted to women then men. Emotionally, physically, mentally and sexually.
— SASSY (@SASSYGotAChoppa) March 28, 2013
Heather Hogan sent me this brilliant piece in The Atlantic about LGBT iconography throughout time.
Note: If you're a famous lesbian and you get pregnant, people are going to ask inappropriate questions about who the father is. Case in point: "Jenna Wolfe: My child's father isn't Matt Lauer or Lester Holt." What? You didn't ask your co-worker to impregnante you? Weird! That's what's happening on Chicago Fire! Here's Jenna coming out, officially, on The Today Show to not-her-baby-daddy Matt Lauer.
