Discovery tours are all about exploring & experiencing the world with like-minded people, dipping your toe beneath the usual tourist surface & discovering the real essence of a region. They are genuinely innovative, exciting & imaginative tours that offer that little bit more to travellers.
Our Plus tours allow you to immerse yourself within a destination or culture whilst travelling and sleeping in comfort. They are packed with highlights to ensure you get the most out of your valuable time away yet are also slower paced allowing you time to savour the culture, traditions and sights of your destination – the perfect balance.
We ask that you read it carefully and that you take the document with you on your holiday. It contains information on visas, vaccinations, spending money, etc, as well as a detailed, day by day itinerary of your trip.
The below nationalities do not need a visa to travel to Malaysia, if you are travelling as a tourist for up to three months. Other nationalities will need to check with their closest Malaysian embassy or consulate.
Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, UK and USA.
The above information has been put together as a guide. We do endeavor to update this information as much as possible but it's also important that you check for yourself as visas are the responsibility of the traveller.
Many governments publish up-to-date travel advice for countries around the world. Information is gleaned from both local and international sources as well as 'friendly' governments, and the notices are often on the cautious side. Sometimes there will be conflicting information. For example, the Australian, UK and Canadian governments may agree on the nature of the advice; however, frequently they do not. And sometimes the views expressed by a particular government can be coloured by political considerations. We will monitor these travel advisories closely and may alter itineraries or cancel trips as a result. However, it is also your responsibility to stay informed and form a balanced view. We recommend that you visit the websites or contact the departments listed below. Unless otherwise stated, it is not normally the intention of the relevant government travel advice to dissuade you from travelling. Rather, it is to inform you of where and when you should exercise caution to avoid problems. Please also note that, as a responsible tour operator, we maintain constant links with our ground operators and your safety - at all times - is our paramount concern. You can check your government's latest travel advice at one of the links below:
Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office
Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade
Please ensure that you have a current passport well before travelling. It also needs an accurate photo and should be valid for at least six months after you are scheduled to return home. Also check that your airline tickets are in exactly the same name as your passport.
Every Peregrine traveller is required to have comprehensive travel insurance. This covers you for medical costs associated with hospitalisation, emergency travel and repatriation back to your home country. You can arrange your own insurance or we can recommend a policy for you. Remember to bring a copy of your insurance policy with you so your tour leader can record the details at the pre-tour briefing. If you arrive at your destination without travel insurance, you'll need to organise this before you can continue on your Peregrine journey.
Apart from having travel insurance and being in generally good health, some pre-holiday health preparation is advised. We strongly recommend you visit your doctor to discuss health requirements for your trip. They will advise you regarding the appropriate inoculations and in some places anti-malarial medication may also be required. Some vaccines need to be administered a few weeks before departure so allow plenty of time. Obtain a certificate of vaccination and carry this with you on this trip. A dental checkup is also highly recommended before departure.
Vaccinations may be required or recommended for this trip so you should consult with your travel doctor to obtain the latest up-to-date information. It is your responsibility to ensure that you obtain any vaccinations or preventative medicines for the countries you are visiting – or any which may be required by your home country upon your return.
For travellers from Australia and New Zealand, we recommend the Travel Doctor-TMVC clinics (see www.traveldoctor.com.au or phone 1300 658 844 for an appointment in Australia). Travellers from countries other than Australia and New Zealand should contact similar organisations or their travel doctor for advice. General health and vaccination information is available to all travellers at
www.traveldoctor.com.au/travelreport. Some vaccines require more than one dose, so arrange for your visit at least 4-6 weeks before you travel.
Malaria: There is no vaccination against malaria, which is transmitted by mosquito bites and is a risk in many less-developed tropical areas in Africa, Latin America and South East Asia. Protection against mosquito bites is essential and where the risk is considered high, anti-malarial medications are recommended. Anti-malarial medications should be discussed with experts as there are different medications available and not all medications suit all people or all destinations. Where malaria is considered prevalent in mountainous regions we prefer that trekkers to altitude try to avoid the use of mefloquine (Lariam) if possible.
We recommend that you photocopy the main pages of your passport, your airline ticket, itinerary, insurance policy, traveller's cheques and credit card. Keep one set of photocopies with you, separate from the originals. Leave one set of copies at home with family or friends. It is also worth taking some extra passport photos with you.
Remember - the lighter you travel the better! You may be buying things as you go, so you should not bring too much from home. Many people find a backpack the most suitable type of luggage for our holidays. Medium-sized suitcases can also be used; however, you should avoid the large, bulky cases that are difficult to carry. The lockable suitcases on wheels are the best types to use. Be aware that some hotels in Asia are not over-endowed with lifts (elevators) and there may be occasions when you need to carry your luggage up stairs or along railway platforms, etc.
When packing, consider cultural differences which may mean that some attire that we wear at home is not appropriate in Asia and may be offensive to the local people. Beachwear in towns is not appropriate, nor is 'short' shorts, particularly for women. Light cotton pants are a better option. When visiting sites of religious significance, modest clothing should be worn. Sandals, thongs, flip-flops or jandals are appropriate footwear in the tropics.
When you pack your clothing, consider the climate at the time of year you are travelling and any specific requirements for your trip as at certain times of the year some of the items suggested in the list that follow may not be necessary. Bear in mind that the weather will vary significantly from place to place. The majority of time the weather is warm in South East Asia; however, it may be distinctly cold up in the highlands. If there are specific requirements for a trip, these will be noted in the Trip Notes relating to that trip. Please note that in the last few years, the world's weather pattern has gone somewhat awry. The effects of 'El Nino' and 'La Nina' are very real and this has resulted in unseasonable droughts followed by unseasonable deluges. Be prepared for the unexpected! Laundry facilities are available in some destinations.
Below is a list of equipment and documentation that we suggest you take with you. Please use this checklist as a guide when packing for your holiday.
The unit of currency is the Malaysian ringgit (RM). There are 100 sen in a ringgit and coins come in 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 sen denominations. There is also a new 1 ringgit coin. Notes are available in 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ringgit denominations.
Refer to www.xe.com for current exchange rates.
Money is safest carried in the form of traveller's cheques; however cash is certainly the easiest for exchange purposes. However the easiest way of obtaining local funds is to use your debit or credit card and draw money from the numerous ATMs available. Please ensure that your card uses a 4-digit pin number. If you do not have a 4-digit pin number, please ask your bank for one before you travel. In Malaysia, exchanging most major foreign currencies such as Australian dollars, US dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, English pounds and Swiss francs is not difficult. If you are taking cash, (US dollars suggested) all notes must be new and not marked or torn. If notes are torn, crumpled, nicked or old it may be difficult to exchange them. If you are taking traveller's cheques, American Express and Thomas Cook are the most widely accepted, and in more remote areas, these may be the only types that are recognised. Please note that it can at times be difficult to change traveller's cheques and the whole process can be time-consuming. Credit cards like Visa and MasterCard are accepted for purchases in many places too. We would suggest you still carry spare cash as a back-up.
You will need to take money with you to cover any additional meals/drinks not included in your tour cost. Other costs to consider are drinking water, tips, laundry, souvenirs, additional sightseeing and possible delays. It is much better to come with more than you would expect to spend and to end the trip with a surplus, rather than being caught short! It is always useful to carry an additional amount for emergencies that could happen en route. If there is a medical emergency you are sometimes required to pay at the source and be reimbursed later by your insurance company. As a guideline we suggest that you allow US$20 per day in Asia would allow you to eat and drink reasonably well.
Optional Tours & Activities: We include many sightseeing activities on most of our trips; however, there are additional optional tours and activities that you may wish to undertake during your free time. These may incur additional expenses. These activities are not a mandatory part of our tours because, from past experience, we have found that our travellers have appreciated some free time whilst on tour.
There are no departure taxes to be paid locally on departure from Malaysian airports. Please check with your travel agent for the latest information.
Like in most places around the world, the tourism and hospitality industry in Asia has developed a culture of tipping. Often this is the way where someone such as a waiter in a restaurant makes a living. However, we realise that people of some nationalities still find it quite uncomfortable when confronted by this custom. On our trips your tour leader can advise you on this matter, however, as a guideline we would recommend a tip of 10% in restaurants and US$1 to US$3 per person, per day for a local guide. Taxi, rickshaw, cyclo and tuk-tuk drivers can be tipped according to the length of the journey. If you are unhappy with a service, of course, you are under no obligation to leave a tip. However, if the service has been satisfactory, please consider our advice above.
Over the years we have found that many of our travellers find the need for tipping to be both tiresome and embarrassing, especially if they don't have the correct small change. To overcome this, we have established a tipping kitty system. At your group meeting, your tour leader may discuss the idea of running a group tipping kitty, whereby everybody contributes an equal amount and then your tour leader pays the tips while keeping a running record of all monies spent (except restaurant tips). The record can be checked at any time and any money remaining at the end of the tour returned to group members.
This kitty is not designed to provide a tip for your tour leader, so, if you would like to reward your leader for their services, you can do so individually or make a group presentation at the end of your tour. A minimum tip of US$3 per day, from each member of the group, is the usual amount expected. Please don't tip with coins, very small denomination notes, or dirty and ripped notes. This is regarded culturally as an insult.
On arrival in Kota Kinabalu, you will be met by a representative and transferred to your start hotel. Please see your final documents for full details of the hotel. Please make sure we are aware of your flight arrival details before you travel.
If you are making your own way from the airport to the hotel, it is a simple matter of catching a taxi. After clearing customs and immigration at Kota Kinabalu Airport and as you exit, you will see a transfer booth where you will pay a set rate for your taxi. The day time rate is approx. RM25 while the evening rates rise to RM30-RM40. You should arrive by Day 1 of the itinerary. There will be a group meeting at 6.00 pm that evening unless you are notified of another time by a message left by your tour leader at the hotel reception desk. This briefing is usually followed by an included group dinner at a local restaurant. Please bring your passport and travel insurance documents to the briefing.
Generally, your room will be available from around midday. Sometimes it may be available mid-morning but this is in no way guaranteed. If your flight is scheduled to arrive in the early morning you may have to wait until a room becomes available. Alternatively you can book one night's 'pre-tour accommodation' which will ensure that your room is ready whenever you arrive. Rooms must generally be vacated by 12 noon unless you have made prior arrangements with the hotel reception. If you want to keep your room for longer you may have to pay an additional charge.
If you want to take someone's photograph, please ask first . This is just normal courtesy and if you are refused permission please abide by that person's wishes. At certain ancient sites, and in most museums, photography (video or still) may be forbidden, or may incur an extra charge for camera-use. Do not take photos of buildings, structures and personnel of potential military significance (including airports, bridges, army barracks, and police stations).
Travelling with us can provide you with some really rewarding travel experiences. Our tours visit countries where travel modes and lifestyles are often not as sophisticated as our own. There is also a laid-back attitude amongst workers and there will often seem to be huge amounts of red tape and bureaucracy when doing the simplest things. You will enjoy your trip much more if you slip into the rhythm of local life and are prepared to take things as they come.
In most countries even the smallest quantity of an illegal substance is considered a very serious offence and can carry lengthy jail terms. Avoid any contact with illegal drugs. Don't put yourself and others at risk and never carry bags or luggage for other people. Any person found to be carrying or using illegal drugs will be asked to leave the trip immediately without the right to any refund.
Please note the 2014 brochure itinerary has had some itinerary changes since going to print. These changes mainly affect the order of the itinerary. These trip notes show the most accurate itinerary.
Due to operational reasons this trip departing on the 19th of April will stay at the Celyn Resort Kinabalu on Day 3 instead of 2 nights at the Sabah Tea Plantation.
Day 2 - Sabah Tea Plantation in a cottage - unchanged
Day 3 - Celyn Resort Kinabalu
All activities will still be included as per the trip notes and we are confident that the Celyn Resort is a great replacement. For more information about this property please see the below link, http://www.celyns.com/resort/index.html
Malaysia is liberal Muslim country as many Malaysian women do not wear headscarves. However, Malaysia is very conservative when compared with standards you may be accustomed to at home and you should dress accordingly. As a general guideline, shoulders, cleavage and knees should be covered when travelling in Borneo except when on the beach. Wearing skimpy clothing is considered disrespectful to local culture at many of the small local communities we visit.
Our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and don't involve a compulsory single supplement. Single travellers share with people of the same gender in accommodation ranging from twin to multishare. Some of our itineraries have accommodation booked on a mixed gender share basis and where applicable this will be specified in our Trip Notes. On a selection of our trips, you have the option to pay a single supplement to ensure that you have your own accommodation (where available). Please note that this only applies to accommodation during the tour - pre-trip and post-trip accommodation will be booked on a single room basis.
A single supplement is available on this trip for 2014. Please note it does not include the following nights:
Days 7 and 8 Manukan Island
Please note at the Myne resort we use Chalet rooms and Longhouse rooms. When the single room is unavailable in the Chalet you will be accommodated in a single room in the longhouse. Their is no river view in the longhouse rooms. All room facilities are the same.
Please note that we use twin share accommodation at Manukan: some chalets have 1 twin share room with ensuite bathroom whilst others have 2 bedroom chalets with a lounge room - these chalets have 1 bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and the other bedroom's bathroom is located off the lounge room.
In the case of a genuine crisis or emergency, the Peregrine local office can be reached on Tel: +66 898 103 722
For travellers of nationalities other than Australian, in particular UK, IRISH, NZ and US please note the government travel warning from these governments has recently been upgraded for travel to Eastern Sabah. Please familiarise yourself with the warning from your government as this may affect your travel insurance. Travel insurance is compulsory on all of our tours and your insurance must cover you for all activities and areas visited as part of this tour. If required, please contact Intrepid for further clarification on this.
Please remember that our tours are of an adventurous nature. Our style of travelling means that it is more desirable to carry a backpack and a daypack on our tours. It is also possible to bring soft suitcases, but large heavy ones can be cumbersome and not always convenient to carry around. A sleeping bag is not required for this trip.
Please note that Borneo is a developing region whose infrastructure, values, customs and standards may differ from what you expect in your homeland. Expect poor road conditions and be prepared for some inconveniences such as restaurants and tourist sites being closed from time to time. Sometimes the transportation may be altered or the itinerary may be changed due to circumstances beyond our control.
This is an 'adventure' trip and we hope to expose you to all aspects of the local culture. Please be open-minded.

Alpheus P. Hodges
Deceased Person
Alpheus P. Hodges (1821 - July 29, 1858) was the first mayor of Los Angeles after the city was incorporated on April 4, 1850. However, he was preceded by Stephen C. Foster, who was the first mayor under American rule. Hodges was originally a physician, but served as both the mayor and coroner of Los Angeles from 1850 to 1851. At that time, the population of the city was only 1,610. A native of Virginia, he became mayor of the new city at age 28. He served as mayor for only a year, that being the term of the office at that time. He later returned to Virginia, and died in Alexandria at the home of his father on July 29, 1858. He was aged 36 years and ten months.  ( Wikipedia article )

I bought this primer from Ulta today and it was $1.99 in the clearance section. I applied it while my sister gave my daughter a bath. OMG. I absolutely loved the results. I wore a basic L'oreal Mascara on top and my lashes are soft, curled and natural. Without primer my lashes do not curl and I do not use an eyelash curler. I went back and bought 6 more to stock up. At 1.99 how could I pass it up.

I don't mind adding an extra step to my morning routine if I am getting better results but as far as I can tell (it's been @ 10 days) there is no payoff here. It's just an extra step. I normally don't use a lash primer but I've been wanting to kick it up a notch with my mascara and thought I'd give this a try. I've even played around with the steps, i.e. curl then prime then mascara vs. prime, curl, mascara etc. And bottom line is NO DIFFERENCE. Save yourself some money and pass on this one.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I read all the comments before purchasing this primer when I ran out of my Shiseido primer. Expectations of other reviewers must have been low when they rated this primer so well. First of all, it's white. Why do most cosmetics make primers white when most women want their lashes as dark as possible. Second, it made my lashes not hold a curl. And third, it made my mascara flake something terrible after just a few hours. I will be returning this to Ulta.
I love how this product creates soft, separated lashes. It is a good primer but my only gripe with this product is it does not hold the curl of my lashes after I use my eyelash curler. I have to re-curl them more often than not. But if I do my lashes look long and soft almost if they naturally did that. I get a lot of compliments how insanely long my eyelashes look and I give credit to this product for that.
I am giving this a 3 because I need to test it out a little bit more...Thus far it didnt hold my curl...I have to re-curl my eyelashes after I put mascara on...so annoying....but they look longer...I am going to try different techniques to see if its worth 14.00. I dont mind paying, but it has to be a good product...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
so reasonable for its price, especially when you have your rewards card & also the coupons that come in the mail. they lengthen and keep your mascara in place. people always ask me if im wearing fakies, but i tell them its my own lash. but great product.
Instant HG. I have tried mascara bases by Lancome, Estee Lauder, Clinique, MAC, Shiseido and Missha, and this one beats them ALL. No kidding, even Shiseido. Shiseido can hold a curl like no other, but it really doesn't do that much else for me. And it costs $23! Ulta Lash Primer is only $14. It holds a curl, and also lengthens and volumes. I don't have "crispy" lashes either. They're still soft and fluttery! The product packaging claims this primer prevents flaking and smudging, and so far so good. Haven't experienced either one. It also claims to nourish lashes, but I don't think I'll be able to tell if that is so until I have been using it much longer. The fact that my lashes aren't crispy is a good sign though. As if it weren't clear, I do plan on repurchasing this product. Again, and again, and again.

so is this legit/ a good price?
and how come this comes with so much more?
yo man pay attention, youre close to getting fucked in the butt.
the first one is an okay deal, you'll definitely be able to find better deals for a t2i/t3i on craigslist depending on your area.
the second listing is for A T3 not a t3i, huge difference, if you don't know then look it up.
if you're considering a t3i, i would also look into the t2i, the only differences mainly being that the t3i has a swively screen which can come in handy, but may not be worth the price for you.

2 dead, scores injured as 140 vehicles collide on foggy I-10 in Texas
By The Associated Press
BEAUMONT, Texas — Two people died and more than 80 people were hurt Thursday when at least 140 vehicles collided in Southeast Texas in a pileup that left trucks twisted on top of each other and authorities rushing to pull survivors from the wreckage.
The first collision occurred in extreme fog about 8:45 a.m. Thanksgiving Day on Interstate 10 southwest of Beaumont, a Gulf Coast city about 80 miles east of Houston. By 9:30 a.m. both sides of the highway were closed.
A man and a woman were killed in a 2007 Chevy Suburban SUV crushed by a tractor-trailer, the Texas Department of Public Safety told KFDM-TV.
Late Thursday, the public-safety agency identified the two as Vincent Leggio, 64, and his wife, Debra Leggio, 60, of Pearland.
Jefferson County sheriff's Deputy Rod Carroll said in a news release that 80 to 90 people were transported to hospitals with 10 to 12 of those in serious to critical condition. He said 140 to 150 vehicles were involved in the pileup.
According to the Department of Public Safety, a crash on the eastbound side of the highway led to other accidents in a chain reaction.
There also were multiple crashes on the other side of the highway.
Carroll said the fog was so thick that deputies didn't immediately realize they were dealing with multiple accidents.
"It is catastrophic," Carroll said. "I've got cars on top of cars."
I-10's eastbound lanes were reopened Thursday after more than eight hours.
Department of Public Safety trooper Stephanie Davis told KFDM that the two people in the SUV died after the crash.
Carroll said uninjured drivers tried to help as authorities sorted through the wreckage.
"It's just people helping people," Carroll said. "The foremost thing in this holiday season is how other travelers were helping us when we were overwhelmed."

Fairfax, Virginia - Like most of you out there, we have a few Thanksgiving traditions here at the National Rifle Association. Though there's the standard closure of business on Thursday (except for the National Firearms Museum) and Friday (the Museum and Headquarters Range will be open), there's also the staff favorite lunch service — here's why.
For the people you see serving turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, yams and other Thanksgiving goodies are not the regular NRA Cafe staff. No, that would be a crew from the NRA Headquarters Range. So what happened to the regular cast of Cafe staff?

Fairfax, Virginia -
Day three of Hurricane Sandy's assault upon the United States has reached as far north as Maine, as far south as Florida and as far west as Michigan. More than seven million homes are reported to be without power as the destructive powers of this 'Frankenstorm' has even caused the closure of New York City's cherished Broadway theater district.
Here at home, in the Northern Virginia region, hundreds of thousands of homes currently rest in darkness … sans the lucky few taxing their generators to the nth degree. High winds and pounding rain over the past 48 hours have left most of us without. In fact, the only reason you're reading this now is because I've been conserving my laptop for all but the essentials.
More on closures caused by Hurricane Sandy ...
Fairfax, Virginia - Remember, earlier today, when I said that I was prepping for a meeting with a well respected firearms website? Promised to tell you about it later. It's later. And the website I was referring to is Ammoland.com.
Created by New Jersey native Fredy Riehl, Ammoland.com is a press service for just about everything in the shooting sports. From politics to collecting to hunting, gear and auctions, odds are they have something to feed your firearm appetite.

Fairfax, Virginia - While writing this, I'm prepping for a meeting with a well respected firearms website ... I'll tell you who later today. Maybe tomorrow. I bring this up because it reminds me of last month's visit by Natalie Foster of Girls Guide to Guns. As she say, "If one day Vogue and Guns & Ammo Magazine fell madly in love, got married and had babies, we (Girls Guide to Guns) would be their favorite child."
We spent the better part of a day taking Natalie to and fro for a variety of meetings here at headquarters. NRA Women, NRA News (who happened to be onsite) and the NRAStore to name but a few. As one might imagine, there's a lot that can be accomplished when spending a day at the NRA.

Fairfax, Virginia - We've got a new NASCAR souvenir here at NRA Headquarters courtesy of Bass Pro Shops. How'd we do that? Here's how.
The Bass Pro Shops NASCAR Sprint Cup race team went with a special paint scheme during a few races this summer. A paint scheme that focused on the National Firearms Museum. Basically, it was an attempt to highlight the new NRA Sporting Arms Museum scheduled to launch this fall at the Bass Pro Shops flagship store in Springfield, Missouri.
Driven by Jamie McMurray in the in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races and by Austin Dillon in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, the paint schemes were on display this summer at races in Daytona and Atlanta.

Fairfax, Virginia -
We first met Natalie Foster at the 2009 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Big smile, happy laugh, full of excitement and anticipation over her new venture, Girls Guide to Guns. To quote from their website, "If one day Vogue and Guns & Ammo Magazine fell madly in love, got married and had babies, we would be their favorite child." So yes, she has quite the unique outlook on the shooting sports.

Fairfax, Virginia - Everything started after the lights went out at NRA headquarters last night. That's when the crew from Military Channel's Triggers: Weapons that Changed the World broke out the cameras, cables and celebrities to film portions of next season's episodes. Host Wil Willis (former Army Ranger and Air Force Pararescueman) was all smiles.
"He looked like a kid in a candy store," commented Museum Director Jim Supica. "We get that reaction a lot around here."

Fairfax, Virginia - Fireworks are set to discharge around the DC Metro area in about nine hours. Until then, friends and family are filling the time in between completing household chores, fetching supplies for events of the day and firing up the grill. But if you're in search of other activities to add to the 4th's patriotic tenor, then head over to NRA Headquarters in Fairfax.

Highlights, Low Points of 1998 Legislature
The 1998 session of the Indiana General Assembly eliminated the most controversial environmental issues from consideration for passage.
Some bad legislation, such as SB 445 (see below), passed because it did not become controversial enough. Some good legislation, such as HB 1021 (also see below), passed because compromises were made to keep it from being killed in the final hours.
The worst legislation
The worst bill to pass was SB 445, Nonconforming Agricultural Uses. This was authored by Senators Katie Wolf, D-Monticello, and Johnny Nugent, R-Lawrenceburg, and sponsored by Representatives Claire Leuck, D-Fowler, and Bill Freund, R-Macy.
This bill was the Indiana Farm Bureau priority. It passed both chambers with large majorities. The Farm Bureau claims that this bill protects small farmers from being driven out of agriculture by nonconforming-use zoning ordinances. The bureau never provided data showing that farmers had been driven out because of this.
I believe it is a way to keep local governments and neighbors from preventing the development of small confined feeding farms into industrial-size farms. Cities, town, and counties with planning and zoning lose the power to regulate existing agricultural uses. The Governor has signed the bill.
Don't buy a house in the country that has pigs in the neighborhood unless you like the smell of concentrated hog manure.
The best legislation
The best bill to pass was HB 1021, the Anti-SLAPP (Strategic Suits Against Public Participation) bill authored by Sen. Bill Alexa, D-Valparaiso, and sponsored by Rep. Tom Alevizos, D-Michigan City. It attempts to discourage SLAPP suits against citizens who speak out on public issues up for decision making by a government body.
This bill started out in SB 260, which passed the Senate 49-1. When it came to the House, Rep. Jesse Villapando, D-East Chicago, got the Speaker to move it to the Rules Committee.
In the House Rules Committee, Chair and Speaker John Gregg, D-Sanborn, heard it, and the committee passed out a weakened version.
Powerful House Democrats, Pat Bauer, South Bend, and Tom Kromkowski, South Bend, adamantly opposed it. House sponsor Mark Kruzan, D, did not call it for second reading and killed it.
Rep. Alevizos let Sen. Alexa insert the anti-SLAPP language in HB 1021 in conference. The House passed it 99-1; the Senate 49-0.
Other important legislation
SB 18 on Water Quality Designations was authored by Sen. Kent Adams, R, for the Indiana Manufacturers Association. Fortunately, after passing the Senate 47-1, this bill was killed by the Chairman of the House Natural Resources, Markt Lytle, D-Madison.
This bill would have prohibited the water pollution control board from adopting a proposed designation of a body of water without a finding that the designation has received either the approval of local governments or that the environmental benefits of the designation outweigh its social and economic impacts.
HB 1263 became the Environmental Omnibus Bill. This bill started out updating Indiana code to bring it in line with EPA regulations.
However in conference committee it became a vehicle bill for many provisions in other killed bills. This bill ended up with some bad parts.
Perhaps the worst provision is that it allows the air pollution control board to adopt rules that allow the commissionerąs actions on permits and permit modifications to become effective immediately.
The board must be kept from adopting a rule that lets it modify permits that allow pollution without public input. The conference committee report was adopted by both houses.
Parts of the bill become effective on July 1, and other sections upon passage.
HB 1074 became the Natural Resources Omnibus Bill. This bill started out doubling snowmobile registration fees and was not overly popular. In conference, the bill was stripped of its original language and ended up as an omnibus bill for other natural resource bills that died during the legislative process.
The conference committee report on this bill was adopted by both chambers without dissenting votes.
Among its many provisions, the conference committee report for HB 1074 amended the general recreational user statute (which provides that a person who goes through the premises of another for a recreational purpose does not have an assurance that the premises are safe for that purpose) to create provisions applying to an individual who enters a premises for hunting, fishing, trapping.
The bill makes the provisions for hunting, fishing, and trapping substantively identical to the general recreational user statute.
It makes the law on the regulation of dams, dikes, and levees inapplicable to dams, dikes, flood walls, or levees regulated under the Indiana Surface Mining Act.
It allows an incidental mining boundary revision to occur without applying for a new permit.

WASHINGTON, June 17, 2013 — An air of myth and mystery surrounds the Features. The band comes from Sparta, Tennessee, a sparsely populated town of around 5,000 people. This is not something the band promotes, but it has been touted to some extent on the live music circuit, which has influenced how they are viewed in performance. Some of this background sense could be picked up on when the Features recently performed at the Black Cat.
A band's environment sometimes has a weird way of shaping how they perform. For example, there could be two bands from the exact same town that have two different perspectives on music, even though they remain products of the same environment. The Features, for their part, take a non-traditional approach to being influenced by growing up in a small town.
When the Features formed in 1994, it was before music file sharing and the ability of bands to readily post music for the world to hear both became commonplace. Sparta is relatively close to the big time music hub of Nashville, but the Features do not draw distinct parallel to anything that is prominently connected to that music scene. Instead, they bring a lot of their influences from classic rock and specifically the kind of music someone would hear on rock stations that were dominated by rock music from the '70s.
The Features have a lot of the classic hallmarks of the rock bands from the '70s. They dabble ever so slightly in neo-psychedelic melodies, although their sound is never trippy enough to really be considered on par with that genre. Instead, they play pretty straightforward timeless rock, which is what happens when a band generally takes its cues from the era of '70s rock.
A major aspect to sounding like a '70s rock band is the band's use of the keyboard as well as that keyboard's specific tonal approach. The Features use Matt Bond on keyboards quite a bit and that sound is prominent throughout their entire set. The preferred tone here feels like a lighter variation of an organ rather than emulating one or more instruments. It helps give the band a fairly large sound.
Again, the Features might come from the very definition of a small town, but that does not necessarily make their sound unfold that way. Their output could easily fit in a bigger venue than backstage at the Black Cat, but since the band is so rooted in rock and roll aesthetics, they could fit pretty well in any venue with quality acoustics.
SEE RELATED: Shout Out Louds at the 9:30 Club
Front man Matt Pelham is the primary reason for this. He is a quintessential front man driving their sound with guitar work and vocals, both of which have a classic appeal. He emotes with force, and is unique to the point where there is no quirky hitch to his singing. Like the rest of the band he is just a straightforward kind of performer.
That term, straightforward, is what describes this band best. It is what makes them about as pure a rock and roll band as anyone will find out there today. There were no clever bells and whistles to the way the Features played at the Black Cat. This is a band that has honed their craft extensively to the point where they have eliminated all the excess in their sound. The Features are just pure and tight rock and roll.

Fiji Time: 2:28 PM on Friday 19 December
/ Front page / Sport
Wednesday, July 09, 2008
Ranjesh Prakash will be the lone athlete from Fiji's Paralympics squad competing in the Paralympics Games from September 6 to 17 in Beijing.
Confirming his participation FASANOC President Vidhya Lakhan said it was an achievement for Prakash and Fiji.
"I think it's quite an achievement for us that he qualified to represent Fiji," said Lakhan.
Prakash, who is partially blind ran his record time of 11.9seconds in 100 metres. And in the 200 metres he clocked 23.58s.
He met the criteria for selection with these times and he is looking forward to represent Fiji.

I live in the middle of tropical, humid Nicaragua, so it is imperative that I find a powder that keeps my oily face dry (for at least a couple of hours). I have not found a powder that covers my (light/mild) acne and keeps me from sweating as good as this one. I am not a fan of Clinique's anti-blemish acne soap, but this product really does everything for me. It is true that it looks a bit heavy when first applied, but it does do its job of keeping my face looking smooth and dry (using a powder brush gives a more natural look, than the sponge that cones with the product). I have it in "matte-beige",which is the perfect color for my skin tone. I have bought this 3 times already, and I will be purchasing again!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a fairly good powder. I use it with a powder brush to not have a heavy application. It is not my HG product, but will continue to re-purchase until something better comes along. The color does not change and requires just a few touch-ups during the day, which is acceptable for me. As of now, I am happy with this powder and do recommend it!
I love this powder, I've been using it for many years. I tend to use foundation that gives light to medium coverage, so this powder is perfect for me. It gives a lovely matte and natural finish. When I don't wear foundation, I can wear this on its own for light coverage. My sister who has flawless skin uses this without foundation and she looks even more flawless (if that's at all possible).
Other pros: not silky and thin, doesn't cause break outs, doesn't make my skin oily (although in summer on really hot days I tend to use an oil free powder ), perfect for setting my foundation, helps cover my rocacea.
Cons: price - here in Australia we pay $50+.
My skin is fair/medium on the fair side. I say cool due to my rocacea because it makes my skin look pink but before I used to have a slight yellow undertone. In this powder I mostly use Matte Neutral, in winter I alternate between Matte Neutral and a lighter shade -Matte Ivory.
For reference in foundation I am: Clinique Superfit 05 Neutral, Clinique Superbalanced Makeup 03 Ivory, and Clinique Stay True in Stay Ivory.

This product did not work for me. It gave very good coverage, for sure. However, within an hour of wearing it, I looked in a mirror and BAM my face was so oily and shiny that I could have been a reflection of the mirror I was looking at.
I guess its different for everyone. If you are looking for coverage and have dry skin, maybe throw in a little primer and this might work for you. As for me, I was looking for coverage for oily skin and this did not work.
i used this for about three weeks (a few months after my first review) and it works pretty well. it does make my face shiny still but when i lightly top it with Maybelline's Dream Matte Powder, it stays mattified for about 4 hours. Because of its good coverage, (and the addition of dream matte) im making it 3 lippies.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I absolutely love this. Works great over bb cream for natural looking moderate coverage. Wear over foundation for very full coverage. Looks pretty in pictures. I think my shade sometimes looks a little funny though in natural light.
I do like this product, but not that thrilled about it... The price for it is an ok amount for the product itself, but i dont think it does the best covering all my redness on my cheeks.... I havent tried it with liquid foundation yet, but i can see it being a good powder for it... For a foundation it isnt cakey at all, thank goodness!! it can make me a tiny bit orange but not much... Its ok but not that crazy about it... The packaging is so awesome and cute though!!
I love this product! I have very pale skin and yet the lightest shade is pale enough for me.
It works great to provide light coverage if you just want to even out skin tone and cover up shine, or to set your foundation in place. While it is a bit expensive, for the quality it is worth it. Also, I have very sensitive skin and yet this (unlike many products) does not aggravate my skin at all.
My only caveat when recommending this product is that if you apply a large amount onto skin which is naturally dry or normal skin which hasn't been moisturised, it can feel a little unpleasant and look a tad cakey. For me, as long as I have applied my moisturiser, this does not cause me any problems.
I am so in love with this powder, it's amazing. I've been looking for a powder with it's own decent coveradge ever since I tried pur minerals 3 in 1 powder and really liked it but I wanted a cheaper alternative and this is it, I like high end makeup but the pur prices are just too high. This powder is great, I wear it over my usual foundation and concealer if needed ( clinique superbalanced and clinique advanced concealer) it's amazing because its my PERFECT for my skin tone ( I wear it in matte bisque) and a great color match is really important to me. The powder gives a really nice finish, matte but with a glow to it so it's not dull and it's great for touch ups because it gives light coverage on it's own. Personally I don't use this on it's own because I have acne scars, black heads and zits to hide but if you only need light coverage I really recomend this and if you need a good powder over something else this is great too. The packaging is elegant and at 21 dollars a compact it's a good price especially if you can get a gwp.
I prefer this over BE's mineral veil. I've only used three different types of finishing powder, this, mineral veil and the one from garden botanika. It's too sheer in coverage for me to use it as a foundation but works for me over clinique's continuous coverage foundation/concealer. I have combination/dry skin so it wears long enough for me but won't last through the pouring rain. The continuous coverage doesn't seem to dry so this does a wonderful job as setting it. It has a matte finish but not so much to tell I'm wearing MU. I use the sponge that comes with the compact in a press n roll method and it leaves a nice finish. I really like that it's compact so I can travel without worrying about it getting messy like the MV.
I want to preface this review by saying that I really do not give one lippie reviews lightly. A product has to *really* fail me if I'm giving it such a low rating. And this product really did...I cannot believe that a department store brand like Clinique, which has a decent lineup of products, would produce such crap.
This was sold to me as a product offering sheer coverage, usable as a very sheer foundation or a setting powder for a liquid foundation. I wanted to use it as a setting powder over my medium-coverage foundation. I thought the compact would be convenient for touch ups during the day. I've been using it for almost a month now, and I always apply with a kabuki brush. At this point, I am ready to ditch the product or give it to someone for whom it works better.
For me, this does nothing to prevent shine or hold my makeup in place. I have an oily t-zone, and dry skin on the rest of my face. When used for t-zone touch ups on a warm (not crazy hot or humid, just warm) day, I find that my skin looks shiny again less than 30 minutes after application. I have this problem even if I blot a lot before applying the powder. So, unless I reapply constantly (which would make my face look caked with powder), I look like a greaseball. The only good thing I can say about this product is that it doesn't sink into dry areas or fine lines very much. But I need it to actually *work*, and it just doesn't! Even drugstore powder from Revlon does a better job for me than this stuff.

The only rule I have when I shop is that I will only buy something if it is a DEAL. I don't buy full price EVER and when I am shopping at resale shops, I won't buy anything that wasn't originally expensive at full price. So, this weekend I was shopping at my favorite discount department store and I purchased a fitted leather vest because A) it was a deal and B) who doesn't need a leather vest? Except, maybe, me, as once I got home, I got very confused as to what to wear it with. I have about a week to test it out before I need to decide to keep or return it, so I've put together some potential outfit inspirations so that you guys can weigh in about whether I am a dumb ass for buying the thing in the first place or a fashion maven with vision. For the record, that is me, in my vest, as I wore it today — a disastrous ensemble, to say the least. Keep reading »

Fresh off a diamond-in-the-rough performance at SXSW, Kevin Gates has released a video for a cut from his new mixtape, By Any Means. (Gates' mixtape The Luca Brasi Story made the 13th spot on our Best Rap Albums of 2013 List.) In the video for "Arm & Hammer" we get the sneering growled cadence that's making Gates one of the best new names in hip-hop, accompanied by some grocery shopping. Not just any grocery shopping though — this is the type of grocery shopping you do when you've run out of baking soda and you can no longer cut your drugs properly. Check out the trap-tastic video for "Arm & Hammer" below.

New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures and MGM have announced the titles and release dates for Peter Jackson's two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," which was the basis for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Jackson took the movie adaptations of those books to great heights, so there is quite a bit of anticipation over what he can do to the story that started it all. The news was announced on the official blog for the production of the movies, and can be found in its entirety in the Read link below.
The first of the two movies will be called The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and it opens Friday, December 14, 2012.
The second movie is titled The Hobbit: There and Back Again and is scheduled for release on Friday, December 13, 2013.
Both movies are being created using 3D digital cameras, and we're anticipating both 2D and 3D releases, and most likely IMAX 3D variations as well.
Fans of The Lord of the Rings movies will see some familiar faces. Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf the Grey, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel; Orlando Bloom as Legolas; Ian Holm as the elder Bilbo; Christopher Lee as Saruman; Hugo Weaving as Elrond; Elijah Wood as Frodo; and Andy Serkis as Gollum. Even though some of these characters were not in the original book, the fact that the two movies will be a super-set of the book's storylines will most likely combine with creative license to work them in. Hopefully it's done effectively, and not just a "spot the out-of-place character" game.
To keep up with the latest and greatest news about these movies, be sure to add both to your Favorite Movies list!
If you're new to the Lord of the Rings, or if you've seen the movies, but haven't read the book that started it all, Gift Shop merchant Amazon.com has The Hobbit available in hardcover, paperback, Kindle, and audiobook editions:

Following up his Beijing Olympics opening-ceremony mega-production, Zhang Yimou remakes the Coen Brothers' Blood Simple by dressing it up in flamboyant silk and translating it to Mandarin. The honky-tonk of the Coens' Southwestern noir becomes a noodle-shop compound on the edge of a Western China painted desert, sometime in the feudal era. Owner Wang (Ni Dahong) cruelly harasses his younger wife (Yan Ni), pushing her into the arms of an effete assistant (Xiao Shen-Yang). Wild cards include a snooping detective (Sun Hunglei) specializing in adultery, and an unheard-of innovation imported by a whirling dervish merchant: a pistol. Woman, gun, and shop in play, Yimou engineers a set piece that lasts all through one very active night, with a shrinking cast double-crossing each other while crisscrossing the compound courtyard on tiptoe. There's little dialogue in this stealthy sequence, but a soundtrack of great precision. This sustained scene is well-made, but not worth making—like the film as a whole, despite its rare stand-alone pleasures such as a choreographed noodle preparation where a small wad of dough is juggled and spun out into parachute width. Those with a higher tolerance for bumptious jestering—from a yipping and mincing Xiao, or Cheng Ye as a bucktoothed jelly-belly—may, however, cry "masterpiece." They are instructed to seek out the longer Chinese cut, which apparently packs in more such interminable shtick, broad as the Yangtze.

text: In this video directed & edited By Adam Powell, British music artist Sivu goes into an MRI machine, singing his song "Better Man Than He" for an unconventional kind of film. Inspired by the work of a small London Charity called CLEFT, who research children born with cleft palate and lips at St Bartholomew's Hospital, the artist became "obsessed with the idea of capturing images without conventional cameras/lenses – This seemed like a perfect opportunity to capture something somewhat unique and take a glimpse into an amazing & fascinating world." With the help of Doctors Marc E. Miquel & Andrew D Scott this music video was made possible. Watching the tongue and brain move as Sivu sings is completely mesmerizing and I've been walking around with this cool song stuck in my head ever since. [Read more…]
