Guided snorkelling with marine biology lectures
Includes Full day trip to world-famous Namena Marine reserve
Nov 22 – 29
(if these dates don't suit you, please contact us; we are often able to arrange small groups at other times)
A fantastic week of snorkelling, learning and exploring in Fiji
8 Days / 7 Nights
The reefs around Vanua Levu provide some of the most rewarding snorkelling in the world – a chance to see the famous soft corals of Fiji, swim amongst clouds of sergeant majors, anthias, damsel fish and jack fish, and see sharks, rays and turtles.
For the first time we will be offering a day trip to Namena Marine Reserve on the boats of the dive operation at the Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort. Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Diving has been exploring these waters for over 20 years. The trip to the Namena Marine Reserve is one of its jewels. Whilst the divers go down deep, the snorkellers stay on the surface and enjoy the profusion of marine life in this protected area.
In the evenings, an experienced marine biologist will give talks on the marine environment and brief you on the next day's snorkel. He will come with you to guide the snorkel and point out some of the wonders of the ocean on an all-day field trip.
Below the water is definitely the centre of the week, but we'll also show you a lot of Fiji above the water. Visits to schools, farms and villages are included.
Cost:AUD$1300 per person.
Single supplement $350.
Includes twin shared accommodation, all meals, excursions, equipment.
Not included: Travel – but we are happy to help book your domestic flights if you'd like, and we'll pick you up from Savusavu airport.
BOOKING: click here
Marine Biologist Johnny Singh studied at the University of the South Pacific in Suva. He has worked in Savusavu for the past 6 years and knows the reefs and marine life of the area intimately. He is a keen underwater photographer and illustrates his talks with his own wonderful photos and videos. He is a passionate conservatioist, and his enthusiasm for ocean life is contagious.
Itinerary at a Glance
The course runs for 7 days; the last day is a travel day. We have not specified which day we'll go to Namena as this depends on weather and tides.
You should book your flights to arrive in Savusavu on the first flight from Nadi at 7.00am on Saturday – and you are welcome to arrive earlier in the week or stay on later – we'll just charge you at regular room rates less 15% if you're on the course.

We featured the Lumenhaus, a project built by Virginia Tech students as part of the 2009 Solar Decathlon in Washington, D.C., in our March issue and online last November, but we just couldn't resist pointing to it again.
The experimental house recently won the Solar Decathlon Europe competition in Madrid, Spain.
But what we love about it are:
Just how cool is Lumenhaus? The structure has also been on display in Times Square in New York and the National Building Museum in Washington.
You can also see one of the coolest videos, which happens to explain Lumenhaus technology.
Go to the end of the video to play with the smart phone shading and lighting controls. Click here to view additional photos of the Lumenhaus.

Please help me on.. How to save current drawing file using save method.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by jeff. See the answer in context.
It is nice as in link to make it an extension method so you can just use Document.Save().
Did you look at: AutoCAD .NET Devemopper's Guide > Control the AutoCAD environment > Create, Open, Save and Close drawings > Create and Close a drawing ?
The Database.Save method is "Not Implemented" at least through 2012. It still says the same thing in the 2013 docs.
You have to use SaveAs, or if the drawing is open in the editor, and you are closing it after, I believe the Document.CloseAndSave method does work. I just searched, and can't find any of my code that uses it, but I think it used it once in the past, but eventually changed that code to work on side databases instead of opening files into the editor.
It is nice as in link to make it an extension method so you can just use Document.Save().

Filipino Restaurant in West Hills/Canoga Park Area?
I'm wondering if any Hounds might be able to direct me to a Filipino restaurant I passed while driving through the West Hills / Canoga Park area a few months back. I can't seem to remember what street I saw it on, and I didn't catch the name of the restaurant. I've spent a couple of hours since that day driving around trying to find the darn place, but I haven't had any luck. All I can recall is that it was a small place that said "Filipino Food" somewhere on the window.
Anyone know where the heck it is..??
I'm in the mood of a plate of pancit, and I'd like to try this place out.
By the way, if you know where it is AND you've eaten there, reply with your assesment of the place, as well as the address..
Many Thanks!
The place is Nipa Hut on Sherman way, just west of Topanga Cyn. It has been hit or miss each time I'm there... But I will list the stuff that have been right on:
Gralic Fried Chicken
Pork Adobo
Pancit Palabok
Chicharron Bulaklak
Daiing Bangus
Eh, needs some work:
Lechon Kawali
Beef Caldareta
Pancit satanghon
Paksiw na Lechon
Pluses, super cheap- you can really stretch your dollar; the food is piping hot, and they have a condiments (suka, patis and liver sauce)station that I totally abuse.
Let us know what you think of the place after you eat there.
re: Veggietales
There's another place by there on Canoga right off Sherman Way. It's called ManilaTown. Pretty good, cheap food. Here's their site: www.manilatown.net
There used to be a place on Winnetka just south of Saticoy, but I don't know if it's still open or not. Haven't looked at it lately.
Nipa Hut is on Sherman Way, west of Topanga.
Manila Express is on Saticoy, east of Winnetka.
Stargazer, a Filipino-owned Asian buffet place, is on Fallbrook, north of Victory.
Its New Manila Express along Winnetka corner Saticoy. I used to live by there so I would pick up food if I was too tired to cook. They have great food. The owner is really nice and accomidating. I think the have the best sisig in town.
Does Goldilocks count? It's are a popular Filipino bakery chain that also has food. The closest one in the Valley is in Panorama City. I have actually been meaning to try it out for ages, at the rec of a few Filipino friends.
8340 Van Nuys Blvd. (at Roscoe) Panorama City, CA 91402
Tel. Nos. (818) 891-5253 Fax No.: (818) 891-5343
Sorry, sanangel, I just re-read your post, and this doesn't answer your question. Have you heard of a place called Manila Sunset? For some reason, that's the first restaurant name that popped into my head after re-reading your original post. I think some of the other posters have come closer to answering your question. :)

You can definitely try corduroy, I'm sure it will work out just fine.
Am looking forward to see yours ;-)!

I drafted this pattern for my niece size 34 it is a nice a idea to do zigzag on the flounces (I assume the edge stitches are zigzag). Thank you for the inspiration and I think your skirt looks very flattering, well done :-)
Feb 28, 2011, 07.06 PMby BeYou TiFul
I used a decorative stitch for the flounces, which was real easy to do and much more flattering, I really had fun making this skirt.

We know it's true: IT support professionals have a love/hate relationship with their end-users. On one hand, less than savvy users are steady job security. And support pros know we can't all be experts in this vast and fast-paced field. So, patience and understanding abound. On the other hand, end-users can be frustrating and astoundingly oblivious when it comes to technology. Some days, that usually patient pro may feel like end-users are the bane of his existence, the dark cloud in his otherwise bright sky, or similar to a zombie infestation that will not die.Continue Reading
In the world of technology support professionals, few things hold as much clout on a resume as certifications. These courses often bring you the specialization that makes you stand out from the competition when it comes to landing a job. And in a field that requires an expansive range of knowledge with an ever-increasing scope of expertise, they are the often the perfect way to keep up in the fast-paced world of technology.Continue Reading
When 75% of your customers use electronic payment to check out and the system goes down due to network failure, there are big problems. This results in irate customers, and in some cases, customers walking away from their orders due to a lack of another method of payment.Continue Reading
Today's news is again rife with data breaches; namely at UPS (possibly linked to the Backoff malware, which my colleague blogged about here), and Community Health Systems (which may be linked to the Heartbleed flaw). A continuing theme across these breaches is that a relatively small, seemingly mundane action such as requiring two-factor authentication for remote access or applying a security update could have stopped attackers.Continue Reading

Windows 7 Pro x64, Windows XP Pro
Keyboard Configuration at login screen
I reinstalled (Windows 7 Pro x64) on my computer. I want to configure the available keyboard layouts at the login screen. For now, there's 4 different layouts at the login screen and it has keyboard layout French (France) on default.
When I got in windows, I configured so it only had the good one (French (Canada))(I deleted all the useless ones) but when I logged out, it still had the 4 same keyboard layouts at login screen. Even the default one wasn't the one I hoped it would use.
I would like any advice on this issue and how it could be resolved. Thank you!

HP says Gartner's wrong, IDC's right, on PC sales data
HP has taken the very unusual step of issuing commentary on IDC's latest PC sales data, which says the PC market is now nearly a tie between HP and Lenovo. That assessment is in marked contrast to Gartner's most recent effort on the same topic, which has Lenovo at number one. Both analysts' data make for ugly reading. IDC's …
HP Invent?
Lenovo, not bad for their 27,000 employees, a tenth of HP's and Lenovo's market cap of 8+ Billion, versus HP's of ~ 28 Billion..
Re: HP Invent?
"Lenovo, not bad for their 27,000 employees, a tenth of HP's and Lenovo's market cap of 8+ Billion, versus HP's of ~ 28 Billion.."
Yeah, well, Lenovo is just that - a PC manufacturer. It doesn't have a large server business, it doesn't have a storage business, it doesn't have large UNIX servers (HP Integrity), it doesn't have mission-critical high availability systems (HP NonStop), it doesn't have a large software business, and it lacks most of the other areas HP is active in one form or another.
Re: HP Invent?
If "... a PC manufacturer.", can close in on a HP business unit, you gotta wonder what shape the rest of their biz units are in. There are other companies that see a real opportunity here to eat into HP's market share. For HP to "invent" it needs R 'n D Dollars, something lacking over the last number of years.
Evil musings.
Now, who could you upset the most? Dell by asking them who they think is actually number one (' cos everyone at least agrees it hasn't been Dell for years), or IBM, who sold their PC biz to Lenovo....?
Re: Evil musings.
I am sure IBM isn't bothered at all. These are sales numbers, not profitability numbers. They sold $18 billion at 2% profit margins. You could do better in the nuts and bolts business, not even a joke. There are only two winners in the PC space, Microsoft and Intel.
Re: Re: Evil musings.
".......They sold $18 billion at 2% profit margins......." Erm, I think you'll find that was $360m profit, which isn't to be sniffed at. So what happens when the UNIX market has shrunk to zilch, mainframe has long-since already died, and Dell and hp have walked away with the x64 server market, maybe IBM will be a bit worried about $360m then. Profit is profit, even if it's made in PCs and printers, as Sun learned to their cost.

Lindsay Lohan: "Nightmare" on Glee Set?by Free Britney at . Comments
Somewhere, that gargoyle Rosie O'Donnell is cackling.
Lindsay Lohan's tenure on the Glee set may not go down as her finest hour, according to a source quoted by E! who claims she was "incredibly late" and that production had to send a car to the Chateau Marmont hotel to pick her a$$ up.
Par for the course really.
"Lindsay was a total nightmare yesterday," says one (clearly less than thrilled) source on the Glee set of their guest star. "She was three hours late in the morning."
"When she did arrive, she just didn't want to be there. She did not want to work. She had not memorized her lines, and kept disappearing so no one could find her."
Some staffers on set were so miffed, they dubbed her "That Girl," adding, "She has rubbed them all up the wrong way by being so disrespectful of everyone else."
On the flip side, a highly placed Glee source says Lohan's scene went "really great, she was so professional and it looked like everything was going to go so well."
Lindsay's spokesman Steve Honig insists she was late because of a "misunderstanding" about her call time, and is displeased with this report. He says:"The production team came to us and said that they wanted to start [with Lindsay] right after lunch, which was at 2. They wanted to begin with Lindsay at 3."
"That meant she had a lot of time where she wasn't doing anything. That's why people didn't see her. She was in hair and makeup and began after lunch at 3."
He adds: "If there was a problem, I would have just said 'no comment,' however I can't ignore this because this is utter B.S. This is a classic example of people trying to bash Lindsay. She busted her ass yesterday and is back on set again today."
Another well-placed Glee source adds that despite the tardiness woes yesterday, "Everyone on Glee is still rooting for Lindsay. We had made a few jokes at her expense earlier in the show, and we really do want her to be able to succeed."
Lohan, who will also star in an upcoming Elizabeth Taylor biopic, has come under fire lately from O'Donnell, who warns she could end up like Whitney Houston.
The troubled star is back on the Glee set today finishing up her guest spot, which is set to air during the Fox show's third season finale May 15.

I cannot see what all the hype is about. This woman has no class and is such a bad actress, that I cannot understand why she would play Elizabeth Taylor. It is an insult to Elizabeth as there are other actresses ( whom actually CAN act , to play the part ).
She is an embarassement to herself.
Just be another Hollywood tragedy already. Why does Hollywood need her to succeed so bad? The worst part of Hollywood backing this horrible brat, is her getting the coveted Elizabeth Taylor role. WHY WHY WHY....
Is anyone really surprised? She is JUST like her father!!! A thief and a liar. Now she will star in Liz and Dick, they will insure her and make money. That's insurance fraud if you ask me!!! Something in genetically wrong with her.
I agree that she was probably disappearing to do drugs and doesnt Steve Honig get paid to cover her *ss with the press? If she doesnt get her life together she will be another Hollywood tragedy.
If Perez Hilton is going to be the Glee show, I will have to miss that one. He is a baffoon and I think he isn't worth my time. I hope the rumor is wrong, I love the show.
I hope this Steve Honig gets paid well to have to be looking like a fool every other day. I remember it was him telling us how outraged they were that anyone could say Lindsay was at a bar when she was at home watching television. It's best to keep saying "No comment" when every other word coming out of her mouth is a lie.
Lindsay aside. Why is Glee hiring a BULLY like Perez Hilton to be on their show?
Steve Honig gets paid to spin the truth into lies for the press to publish. I repeat. He gets paid to spin the truth into lies. Period. Look to her most recent brush with the law. This is another classic example of her work ethic. She's due to report early in the morning but she goes out the night before. Whether she drinks or not, whether she does drugs or not. She cannot break bad habits. She always has someone spin the the truth for her. Rosie is exactly right.
The Chateau Marmont is where much of H'wood youth get their controlled substances and then if she kept disappearing, that may have been for coke, and I don't mean the Pepsi stuff. Get real, Hollywood! Get smart, too.

Neal Augenstein, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Weeks before the razing of a home built atop a former chemical weapons dumping ground, scientists will test groundwater in a nearby well to confirm elevated levels of arsenic and perchlorate.
Sampling begins this week in a well in the 4800 block of Glenbrook Road NW in the Spring Valley section of D.C.
After years of concern, and lawsuits, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined earlier this year to remove the home at 4825 Glenbrook Road. The two-story brick home remains abandoned among multimillion dollar houses in the neighborhood adjacent to American University.
"Testing from this spring found arsenic and perchlorate above acceptable Environmental Protection Agency levels," says Andrea Takash, public affairs spokesman with the Army Corps of Engineers.
In more than a decade since the realization that several homes were built above a World War I weapons burial pit, the Army Corps has found more than 500 munition items, 400 pounds of laboratory glassware and more than 100 tons of contaminated soil on the property.
"It's important to reinforce groundwater is not the drinking water source for the Spring Valley community," says Takash.
"All residents of Spring Valley have water supplied by the Washington Aqueduct. Ninety-five percent of the pipes are located above groundwater level. And there is so much pressure inside these pipes, nothing can filter into them," says Takash.
Groundwater is tested deep below the surface in bedrock.
This round of testing in the affected well will monitor depth intervals between 35 and 160 feet below ground surface.
"We've installed 52 wells in the neighborhood, to get a wide overview of groundwater in the neighborhood," says Takash.
Authorities at the nearby Washington Aqueduct, which processes drinking water for Washington, D.C., Arlington, the City of Falls Church, and parts of Fairfax County are "following the Spring Valley remediation efforts with interest."
"The issue is whether groundwater will affect our Dalecarlia Reservoir," says Patricia Gamby, deputy general manager with the Aqueduct, which is owned and operated by the Army Corps.
"We routinely monitor for arsenic and perchlorate in the reservoir as well as in the finished water," says Gamby. "We occasionally get detectable levels of both contaminants in the reservoir, but the levels are generally very low."
"Of course, we also test the finished water after treatment too, and have never had unacceptable levels," said Gamby.
Demolition of the home is planned for August.
The Army Corps of Engineers has released its Demolition and Disposal Plan to describe how the house will be removed and how debris will be handled.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says House Speaker John Boehner's proposal for a short-term deal to increase the nation's borrowing limit is an "encouraging sign."
Spokesman Jay Carney says President Barack Obama prefers a longer agreement to lift the debt ceiling and wants Republicans to pass a spending bill to reopen the federal government. But he did not specifically say the president would reject a proposal, like Boehner's, that does not also open the government.
Carney says the White House has not seen a specific plan from the House GOP. Boehner and other members of his caucus are scheduled to meet with the president at the White House Thursday afternoon.
