Unlike the backpacking college student of yesterday, where phone calls back home were rare to nonexistent, today young travelers can feel like they are in multiple locations at once with the presence of Facebook and Twitter.
And that fascinates Jennie Germann Molz, associate professor of sociology at the College of the Holy Cross. Molz says that digital devices and social media have not only transformed the tourism industry, they have transformed the way travelers experience travel.
Her most recent work in this area was awarded the Journal Paper of the Year Award by the International Federation for Information Technologies in Travel and Tourism at its ENTER 2014 Conference in Dublin. The award is given to "the most innovative and scientifically rigorous IT & tourism-related paper published in an academic journal in 2013," according to IFITT. The paper was co-written by Cody M. Paris, senior lecturer and program coordinator of social science at Middlesex University Dubai.
Their paper, titled "The Social Affordances of Flashpacking: Exploring the Mobility Nexus of Travel and Communication" traces the transition from backpacking to "flashpacking," which means that travelers with laptops and smartphones are able to stay in continuous touch with friends, family and other travelers while on the move.
"We were wondering how the increasing pervasiveness of social networking and mobile technologies in the realm of travel and tourism was shaping and reshaping the way travelers and tourists do 'togetherness,' how they're social with each other, with local people and with people at a distance, like their family and friends back home," said Molz.
Furthermore, technologies like Twitter and Facebook have introduced a mechanism for "following someone" as "a way of being a friend." These applications provide the flashpacker with a "virtual mooring", which gives people far away the ability to access the traveler and experience another place, said Molz.
"No matter how long a tourist or backpacker is traveling they can have this constant presence online where people can find them wherever they are," she said.
Molz has taught numerous sociology courses at Holy Cross related to the study of tourism, culture and technology's effects on human interaction. They include Sociology of Travel & Tourism; Global Culture & Society; and Technology, Mobility & Social Life. In 2012, she received a Fulbright grant to explore the couch surfing trend. Looking ahead, Molz plans to focus her research on road schooling and studying the travel experiences of families who take their children out of school to travel for a year.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Steve Kelman considers the costs of corruption in Mexico, China, and most developing countries -- and argues that Americans should keep their own government troubles in perspective.
Agency leaders must proactively invest time, energy and resources to shape the future rather than reactively wait for change to happen.
Meet 24 men and women who are driving key changes in federal IT -- and shaping up as the community's likely leaders of tomorrow.
GSA's administrator talks with FCW about short-term hiring, long-term planning and Robert Frost.
Without a future vision and an appetite for risk, reforms lead down a rabbit hole. There is a better way.
VA's top tech official says he is balancing risks while trying to keep the department's online services open for business.
After five years on the job, the founding director of the Office of Government Information Services believes that a deeper understanding and acceptance of FOIA is seeping into the federal government.
The September attack, made public Nov. 10, potentially puts customer and employee personal information at risk, including addresses, Social Security numbers and emails.
The General Services Administration's Matthew Goodrich predicts more agency-driven authorizations and previews a new two-year road map.
Since last September, I have had a succession of interns working for me (through a rotational career development program) and I have given each one of them significant, important, challenging work assignments. Involving them in the substantive work of the agency has been rewarding for them and for the organization. They have the fresh perspective and energy every organization needs. Instead of driving these bright young minds away by sticking them in a corner or giving them tedious, dull, unstimulating work assignments until they "pay dues" or attain some preordained rank or grade of responsibility, I choose to use the tremendous resource they are to promote the work of the agency. I spend a few minutes to get to know where their interests and strengths are, then capitalize on those areas to my own benefit as a manager. In my experience, the govt needs more inspired and inspiring leadership. It isn't about compensation - it's about the psychic benefit of knowing you are making a difference for the greater good and experiencing that you can actually affect something in a positive way as a servant of the public.
Do like Mr. Kelman's emphasis on innovation - this topic certainly needs to have the creative juices flowing.On the flip-side, it would appear that the recruiting and promotional vehicles are not the core issues - it prevails - Government must find ways of tangibly competing with Industry and other segments to cause the young and impressionable to pursue Government work. The Government Machine has managed to break the traditional stigma - just count how many spotlights there are on NPR daily, which revolve around some aspect of Government life. It's in vogue, moving swiftly and tackling a rich, agenda of the most, challenging issues/problems that the world faces. Of course, the decision on the pay-for-performance program may cause the young, upstart some confusion about the Government's direction and long-term, compensation motives.

May 14, 2008, 02.28 AMby anajan
Thanks! The zipper was supposed to be in the same tone as the jacket. But this was the best match I could find. The contrast is greater on the pictures than it is actually. Details on the sides are my idea, I was inspired by some leather jackets I saw in a boutique. Also, I altered the collar.

The crew at Brian-Kyles has its eyes set on the future.
No good company rests on its laurels. That's why the team at Brian Kyles management has been studying to make sure they are taking advantage of growth opportunities. What the family has learned about the business is that there is opportunity to grow commercial maintenance – and to expand its fertilization services.
Brian-Kyles has separate commercial and residential maintenance crews that hone in their client bases' priorities. "We realized that because these clients have different needs, we needed a culture in place that better catered to those clients," says director of commercial maintenance Kyle Maurer of separating the commercial maintenance division.
The firm will focus on capturing business from large property management companies, homeowners associations and government contracts like schools and parks.
Meanwhile, Brian-Kyles just relocated its Avon office to its Lorain operations facility. Having the entire staff under one roof will strengthen the firm and create efficiencies. "We can meet clients at our facility, hold open houses and really showcase our work," Maurer says.
Lawn & Landscape and PLANET will bring you a virtual conference aimed at helping you hit that magic number.
The company's marketing manager set a Guinness record on zero-turn mower.

So sad to report the sudden passing of Mike Waples last week.
Mike was a great character in the village and I'm there are many houses in the village with extensions and designs drawn by him – he touched so many people's lives. He was instrumental in designing and building the Biggs Pavilion and was a mainstay of the tennis club for many years serving as chairman until 1997. Latterly he enjoyed the brisk walkers and table tennis and took great delight in Luton Town's return to the Football League last May. He will be greatly missed by all.
Our thoughts go out to Joan and his family at this difficult time.
Funeral arrangements are as follows:
1.45pm Wednesday 24th September at All Saints Church in Leighton Buzzard

Well it's probably just a 7-day sickness. It started because the weather decided to be fickle again. My immunity always drops when there are abrupt changes in weather. And that was enough to make me sick.
|Mon, 12-21-2009 - 6:37pm
It's somewhat common around here. The weather is pretty bad and it's easy for a lot of people to get sick. It's not like a sudden but small change where it got a little warm or a little colder. It's like one day it's 43 degrees, the next it's 70. It also doesn't help that we live in poor housing. Poor people get sick easier, and age faster.

Val, I just took a look at your profile and saw you were from VA. For some strange reason
|Wed, 12-23-2009 - 1:35am
People who don't live here make that assumption (I was guilty of this, before I started living here), because of where it is (on the map). We also have nice gardens, which give the illusion that we live in a pleasant climate. The weather is actually quite fickle. And every five years, we get a new bad hurricane.

I can't really get the system of leaving comments here lol, might send one comment twice, hope I haven't done anything wrong.
@ Cali
The same thing is happening in Russia, only their customs fees are even higher, reaching up to USD 200 or something. They are desperate.
Besides, the situation in Moscow is even worse, because they can't even get their books, there is no FedEx customs broker in Moscow, and they have to take the books to St. Petersburg, which will cost even more, bringing the total amount for ONE Opus to USD 500.
I've written to Andy, waiting for an answer about the way to return my Opus and get my money back.
I have also written in Opus Facebook, but it looks like they have simply deleted my complaint as soon as I posted it.
THIS IS IT another one discrimination in the long list of discriminations around the world.
And i wanted so bad that 20% discount for my next OPUS.LOL ;)
Comment #449
This is a great picture-- all those who have received your Opuses-- check this out--
Thanks Paly for sharing!
So country updates for thos who have already ordered are (according to comments on this site):
Finland (new) 12/29 02:09am PT One known to have been received
Germany *EDIT/Add* 07:37am PT (replied) Not received yet
Denmark 12/29 08:00 am PT appears to be Jan 11th based on Fed Ex tracking info
China/Hong Kong (2nd customer) 12/29 07:02am PT Received (damaged)
Philippines *EDIT/Add 12/29 11:06pm Received (but went directly to Customs @ airport to obtain possession of it)
republic of Georgia Customer posted comment 12/29 03:03am PT Not received yet BUT money now deducted for payment. *EDIT 12/30 customer ordered Dec 3.
I will put together a full updated list by this evening to allow others time to update. But this is what we have so far since last amendment.
More in a bit.
for the person that responded from houston,
i also live in houston and purchased mine in sept.
i contacted opus today because i had not received my tracking # either.
within a 4 hour time frame i got a fedex email stating my tracking # and when it will arrive.
will not get it until dec. 24th. hopefully i do.
by reading what everyone is posting i am too very disappointed in the opus people not giving us what they advertised originally. i feel if michael were still alive he would be very uphappy about this for his fans.
hopefully his estate will get this straightened out also before they try to release another one.
but even if they don't this man and his music will never be forgotten. he had set the bar and no one has even come close to it and probably never will. i saw him twice here in houston in the late 80's and still remember those performances from even back than. just remarkable.
listened to his music alot and followed everything he did but since his death listen to it continuously.
and have tried to read up on him more and more.
the entertainment world has lost a great entertainer that is for sure.
love and miss you mj
Good morning everyone. I'm trying to prop my eyelids open with toothpicks, so forgive me for being brief at the moment *EDIT (I guess I wasn't brief after all. lol) *end. I promise to reply here to everyone (from today and yesterday) shortly. I need to check do my morning rounds to see if there is any new news before I update.
Also, if anyone gets any communication from Opus Media Group (OMG) please copy/paste it here. Please remove any of your personal information before you hit save. This will also help your fellow fans.
If you are on TWITTER , you could retweet using the link at the top of this page (retweet) or something like (and in your native language)
Have you received your Michael Jackson Opus? Please comment http://bit.ly/7XqBgW
Liis-- I would ask you this simple question-- have you received any communication whatsoever via your email from Opus or Ticketmaster (if you purchased through them) or any company directly related to your purchase through Opus? There was an email on 12/18 sent that most people received about only 1 glove and no Opus Reality card being mailed. Here's the one I received:
ISo if you DID get it (or something like it), then you did nothing whatsoever incorrect when you ordered and they should have your correct contact information. But please remember, you are not alone in not having received a message so don't beat yourself up thinking that you did something wrong okay?
Be sure to check your spam/junk mail folder for anything also-- however I could assume these would not go to most people's spam/junk mail folders. (just be care of the scams out there trying to lure you into thinking you just inherited a lot of money-- Fed Ex does NOT send those kind of emails!).
If might be wise to confirm with Fed Ex somehow if you can do that without a tracking number. Maybe if you give them your address they could check but I don't know for sure.
This sure would be easier if OMG just communicated the expected delivery date by country so people would stop being so anxious and upset. It is very clear that the promised delivery dates that have been given have passed-- so a simple update by country would not be so hard. Especially since there are only 100 countries to list (according to communication on their site).
Again,, please allow me to make the rounds around the internet to see if there is anything new to report and I'll be back here shortly. Much L.O.V.E. to everyone! Hang in there!
In the meantime, go to this link and give it a minute to allow it to upload all the pretty pictures! They will make you SMILE!
I posted this earlier in the other Opus comment section. I thought I should bring it here:
OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! I just received it. I have to go to work, so I only looked at the first 20 pages or so and skimmed through it. It's amazing!!! So many photos that have never been seen before. I'm still crying from looking at giant photos of our beautiful Michael.
It took me quite a while to open it. It's packed very well. It's soooo heavy. Even the red outer cover, with a drawing of Michael on his toes, is beautiful. I only wish Michael could see it. What an amazing tribute to an amazing man. *tears*
I'll add that if anyone is hesitating, don't!! It's a once-in-a-lifetime book about a once-in-a-lifetime person.
I see some are complaining about receiving one glove. That didn't even bother me. If I want, I'll buy another glove. It's not big deal. And I can wait for the media card. The main thing is the BOOK!!! And what a BOOK it is!!
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE JANUARY 14th
I have just gotten off the phone with Andy. UPDATE HAS BEEN POSTED! Please go here http://www.michaeljackson.com/us/node/569336
Psst.. everyone coming here since December... please go here:
Much L.O.V.E.
Here are countries who are checking in having received Fed Ex tracking numbers and delivery dates:
Country Expected Delivery on/after
Australia Jan 8th
Belgium ...Jan 11th *Opus is in Paris Jan 4th*
Estonia Jan 7th
Greece Jan 11th
Italy RECEIVED
Poland Jan 11th *
Romania Jan 13th *Opus is in Paris Jan 4th*
Russia Jan. 22nd
Anyone else? Please comment ... thanks!
Fed Ex just pulled up and WOW! I got my Opus. This book is VERY HUGE and HEAVY! Beautiful as I'm looking through it. Now some of you have commented that your Opus only came with one glove and no media card.The same goes for me. But what I will do on behalf of everybody is that I will call directly to Opus and I will let them know the situation. I will leave a post on the information that I've gathered tomorrow. I'm not upset cause I know this will be solved. The most important thing is that I got my book in pristine condition. My Christmas is complete. Yaaaaay!

If Government Is Committed To Transparency, Why the Steep Search Fees?
In the past few years, I have made a handful of requests, dutifully paying my $5 in the hopes of receiving documents that will shed some light on Canada's human rights record. What has transpired is Kafkaesque. I requested information from the Department of Justice, Foreign Affairs, and Heritage Canada on our government's process for implementing human rights treaties. Between two departments, I was told that processing of my request would cost... wait for it ...more than $4,000 in search fees.

The Crimson Tide will be without Smith against Virginia Tech. Dave Miller
Alabama head coach Nick Saban suspended starting nickelback Geno Smith for the season opener against Virginia Tech following the defender's arrest this past weekend on suspicion of driving under the influence.
"Some of these guys don't have enough foresight to understand cause and effect, but Geno has been a really good person in the program and just made a choice, bad decision," Saban said, per al.com. "Made several of them, so now he's got consequences for it."
Saban said Smith will be able to return for the second game of the season against Texas A&M if he handles "in-house" things.
The 6-foot, 186-pound Atlanta native has been expected to be a big part of the Tide's secondary this fall, although 'Bama catches a break in the opener as the Hokies struggled through the air last year. Still, the Tide will need to find a replacement for Smith against a Virginia Tech offense hoping to rebound from a poor 2012.
Deion Belue and John Fulton are the projected starting corners, so sophomores Cyrus Jones and Bradley Sylve will have a chance to step in at nickel. Jones moved over to defense from wide receiver this year. Saban and his defensive staff could also use a safety as the nickel, so Vinnie Sunseri and Landon Collins could be in the mix as well.

What type of tubing should I buy for use with my corny kegs and these parts
Will the tubing I buy at my hardware store and use for siphoning, etc. work? Or is there a specific type of tubing for this application. Are the gas lines and liquid lines the same type? Also, what size tubing do I need for the liquid and gas fittings picture above.
I am slowly putting my system together . . .since I am not buying a kit, I am not really sure what kind of gear to buy.
Tubing is differnet for both in (gas) and out (beer). Depends on the connector dimensions as well. Its not that expensive though.http://www.beveragefactory.com/draft...fittings.shtml
I've just replaced my old 1/4 inch clear plastic beer-out tubes with new 1/4 inch clear plastic tubing from the hardware store and damned if the first pint doesn't always taste like.... well, plastic.
Anyone found a tubing that doesn't bleed off its character to the beer?
Gibran says our children come through us, not from us... given that each precious batch is so like a.... oh, nevermind.
Unless tubing is labeled as food-grade, it will probably taste like plastic. Even with new food-grade tubing, I like to run some hot water through just to be certain it is clean.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Beer lovers make better drinkers.
Thanks, david. I'll start doing the hot water thing.
And thanks for the link, DNOB. I've been serving via 1/4 " tubing... Is 3/16" better/worse? I'm pretty sure I can shove the 3/16 over my barbed fittings...
I got vinyl tubing from HomeDepot for my kegs, rinsed them with BLC (beer line cleaner) and then hot water and they are fine. They are thin walled lines and the beer doesn't taste like plastic at all.

Does anyone know anything about Thomas Norris, who landed on Kent Island, Queen Anne's (until 1704, Talbot) County, with Claiborne in 1630? He is mentioned as having done so in the Maryland Archives, and in an unpublished manuscript (Library of Congress, 1934) by Harry Alexander Davis). He married Ann Hynson of Virginia. I know that many of his descendants went to Virginia (Nansemond County) but did any remain in Maryland, either on Kent Island or at St Mary's City?
