SimCity is a Beautiful Disaster
Maxis Producer Jason Haber talks about all the things that can go horribly wrong for your beautiful metropolis in SimCity.
It's a disaster for sure, ...it's not really simcity. I was very much looking forward to this, but it's a complete fail. Another EA mess!
Such a shame that EA's greed had to destroy such a beautiful and potentially good game.
A "Beautiful Disaster" indeed. A beautiful looking game destroyed by EA's fixation on multiplayer (have fun playing when they shut down the servers) and the requirement of their Origin software (enjoy EA monitoring all the apps you run).
damn, I was really hoping they would make a more sophisticated intelligent game. but looks like they've decided to take the road of a childrens game instead. too bad, many in another 10 years.
This is just a new SimTown game... Nothing else. Where is the highways? Where is the terraforming? It's just lets you make advanced crowded town, not even close to being a city...
Marvelo75 noted it and I completely agree with him. Not only asteroids but no matter what you choose, but disasters don't damage the roads at all and that is really totally unrealistic. I am disappointed too. That is very... very unrealistic indeed. I trust they will work it out, somehow.
My... my... my. I just love Sim Cities and always loved, and with this last game won't be different. I just can't wait 'til next March... ARRRRGGG.
This blog sums up all the community concerns and problems, yet no official response. What I hate most is, when Maxis was doing community Q&A, they decided to ignore all the pressing question and pick the easy ones that had already been answered in previous FAQs. Shame on them.
This is all well and good, but I would like to see diasters caused by others means, IE: Nuclear meltdowns, in reactors that weren't properly maintained (if there's a maintance mechanic in the game which i think there should be, but that's just me) hurricanes, that bring flood waters, smaller storms, but still powerful enough to bring down power lines, and wind turbines, damage homes, and businesses...
Also what happened to the godzilla type creature and the giant robot, that was in previous sim city games, I miss those options myself... but that's just me...
Hehe looks like one of those model miniatures but you can look around and build anything. Looks promising! ^_^
I hope the calm Jazz music will make a return in this game like it did in Sim City 3000
Last version of this game as much as I remember was too buggy. I couldn't finish to built at least small city it always hanged and after trying to load the game from the saves it always hanged again on the same place...
I thought this video was going to be a discussion on the always-online DRM being a disaster on an otherwise beautiful looking game...but actual disasters are fun to watch too :)
That last U.F.O. abducted like a 100 people. Do they even have enough space on their ship?
well he just said a key thing "you can set up a region to play by yourself" which means you might not have to do the whole simcity online world connection thingy and just play the game on your own there is still hope for the world then
Woah, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Wii u triple a title. Hope they jump on the money train.
Excellent game im buying but way over the top trying to sell it. Traffic is simulated as the traffic gets backed up. But this does that on the Amiga 500 the only difference is the graphics. Like i say will buying and loos grate.
@pelvist What title has EA released in the last 2 years their greed hasn't destroyed?
@Rikaelus That's actually what I thought the title meant when I followed the link here lol. I was hoping for some actual critique, not just another promo vid
@mauro_rubens You'd think we're at the point technologically that a meteor strike might, you know, leave a crater or something?
@pathosfire I think the online aspect is great but doesn't go far enough!
Imagine if countries were introduced into the game where each country basically functions as a guild and each guild member runs a city. It could open up the opportunity for countries to build and grow a military where some city's would host bases and military ports etc. You could also have capital city's with gov buildings with could be aexpanded for greater diplomatic play.
However, if thats not for you, your guild could choose to remain neutral simply supplying resources to other nations and/or tourism etc.
nope. you will still have to be online to play and connect to their servers through Origin. This has been confirmed many, many times.
@skipper847 I think what he was trying to demonstrate with the traffic is that is that each vehicle is (hopefully) a persistent object in the game world. In SC 3/4 traffic would appear and vanish randomly and in 1/2 merely a graphical layer of blue dots added over the road.
@Whiskey3romeo @pelvist Battlefield Bad Company 2? Only 1 big DLC which was never forced on any of their players.
@Whiskey3romeo @pelvist Well, there's...um...Wait, oh yeah, that... uhhhhh, hmmmm...
No, nevermind. I got nothing
@cirugo @pl4yer_f0und Lol sad but true. It's also more SimTown than SimCity with the limited city size. This compounded with dumb down gameplay of no teraforming, fixed region layout and highway network, lack of subways, forced online play, persistent (no save and load) nature... This is just a disaster and slap in the face for hardcore SimCity fans.
good question...some of us have been asking that since it was announced last March.
and that's one of the problems. they've gone so far in the direction of focusing on every little agent (that's what the Sims is for isn't it) that they've had to sacrifice the scope and scale of the city to make it happen.
@aeterna789 @Whiskey3romeo @pelvist Battlefield 3 was screwed up by the user severs. too hard to find official severs.
@kohle36 @Whiskey3romeo @pelvist Battlefield 3, FIFA 2013, Fifa Street, Skate 3, SSX, ...
@thebeasle @Xenuri @skipper847
that's my point...if they had to make the scale of the game smaller in order to make this micro-scale simulation workable then it was the wrong direction to take a city-scale builder game.
@cirugo @Xenuri @skipper847 Agree. Simulating every agent is a nice feature but... this game should be called SimTown because the "cities" will be so small. I hope I'm wrong and it turns out good, but I doubt it. No way would I risk a preorder on this thing.
@cirugo @skipper847 I disagree, having realistic citizens and traffic models is something I've personally always wanted in SC, real people going about their lives.
So far there is no evidence to suggest that the per agent micro management of the sims will be making into the game, that I agree would be a disaster!

Dusky on spending time in clubs and how nobody gets inspired by sitting inside all day
It's been a stellar year so far for Dusky, the London-based duo that's blowing up right now with a garage-house sound they mastered in their native stamping grounds. Alfie Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman, the pair who make up Dusky, have had their tracks spun by such notables as Pete Tong and Dubfire, and last December, they created a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. We recently caught up with the pair for a chat about how they went from drum-and-bass to their current sound and more.
See also: Friday, Dusky at NORAD, with Cassian and Vanish, 9/27/13
Westword: I know you both started out with roots in the drum-and-bass scene in the U.K. -- how did you progress from that to your current sound?
Nick Harriman: I guess it was just kind of a natural progression of our tastes. In the U.K., you start with dance music when you're like fifteen, sixteen. Most people first get into drum and bass, and then get drawn into other forms of dance music.
Alfie Granger-Howell: That was at the time; now it's more dubstep.
NH: Yeah, at the time it was drum-and-bass, and as we got older, our tastes developed, and so did what we were writing.
How do you think your interest in jazz and classical music has helped shape your sound and set you apart from the crowd?
AG-H: I think it's helped in quite a lot of ways. I studied composition, whereas Nick's studies were more focused on music production, and between us, I think the most valuable skill is being able to analyze different types of music, different styles, seeing what it is about them that appeals to people and is unique and interesting. And that kind of studying, it's very useful to them. It just enables you to take those points of interest and apply it to our own music.
When you first started playing together, were you focusing more on producing tracks or deejaying sets?
AG-H: It was both. We met when we were about sixteen, seventeen, and at that time, we both got decks and started deejaying, and we used to go out raving and clubbing together with other mates. And we'd maybe have some drinks round each other's house before we left. We'd be deejaying in each other's bedrooms. But the producing side, as well, from a similar age, we were both experimenting with FruityLoops and other programs, and I think it was similarly very early on that we started playing each other ideas and sending things back and forth.
NH: It was definitely a bit of both, first learning to DJ and then writing stuff all the time, recording mixes, listening back on it, and seeing how we were doing. There were four or five of us who would swap music.
Do you have a preference now for the studio or the dancefloor? What do you like or dislike about each?
AG-H: I don't think I have a preference, I think they complement each other really well. I enjoy being in the studio, but it can be really stifling at times, sometimes with both of us, sometimes there's just one of us in the studio -- it can get quite lonely in that kind of social set, and the actual gigs, the shows, more than make up for that by being in front of hunderds and thousands of people. I can't really separate the two out. I need to have both in order to be happy, I think.
NH: I agree. I think the studio is nice sometimes, but to get inspiration, you have to be out of the studio. No one gets inspiration by sitting inside all day. You need to go out, meet other people, spend some time in clubs; it helps give you that balance.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lennon!
Facts about Lennon
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Lennon's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Lennon is a sweet little guy at about 4 months of age that was with his sister in the Manhattan ACC when we learned of them. They faired rather well in the crowded and scary shelter, considering, but they were thrilled to leave of course! Lennon is a bit more laid back than his sister London. He is playful but also likes to take some time out to snuggle and chew on a toy or bone. Lennon has been doing well with every person and other dog or cat he has met and will be a great addtion to any family! He is up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped, is pretty well house trained and does well in his crate. If you are interested in adding Lennon to your family please email firstname.lastname@example.com

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lennon, a Hillsborough Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Hillsborough, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Hillsborough.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hillsborough already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hillsborough breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hillsborough paves the way for another one to be saved.

Facts about Nelly
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Nelly's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Nelly is the only girl in a litter of 6 puppies that were abandoned at a local vet clinic. She is about 11 weeks old (as of 7/15). Rather than romping around in the yard, Nelly loves to curl up in your lap or on her cushy bed. Sweet Nelly is one of the smallest of her litter and the only girl! She does pretty well holding her own with all these rowdy boys and will gladly tell them off if they try to mess with her too much. She's a sweet little thing and is the perfect balance between playful and cuddly. She loves to tug on the hem of my pants when I'm walking around the yard and she likes to roll around in the grass and chase bugs, but she also loves to curl up in your lap for a nap and some cuddle time when playtime is over. Like her siblings, she is also doing well sleeping through the night and using puppy pads when she's in her pen.

UW Music Brings Homecoming a Little Early
Sometimes a concert is less about "performing" and more about simply sharing one's gifts in an atmosphere of gratitude and joy. That is exactly what a very full Mills Hall audience received Sunday evening from baritone Nathaniel Stampley and accompanist Jamie Schmidt.
In a program titled "The Contemporary American Songbook* (*mostly)," the longtime friends and collaborators poured out an inviting mixture of Broadway, Gershwin and Cole Porter, with a Mozart aria thrown in for good measure. Along the way they were full of amusing anecdotes, with both speaking and playing/singing tinged with an "aren't we lucky to be here" flavor.
Stampley could be the quintessential late bloomer: Now thirty-nine, he only finished up his BM at UW–Madison under Mimmi Fuller in 2008. But he never lost faith in his genuine gift of a baritone voice that combines silkiness, with an unruffled delivery. His persistence has certainly paid off—along with a number of substantial Broadway credits on his resume, he is about to take the title role in the national touring company of The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess.
Jamie Schmidt is also a product of UW, completing two degrees here and working with a veritable "who's who" list of Broadway stars over the last decade or so. His musical partnership with Stampley bears all the evidence of two artists who share not only congruent interpretive approaches, but a basic impulse to share their music in a most unpretentious and warm fashion.
After a suave "On Broadway" opening, Stampley delivered an "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" in a gentle, pastoral approach. Stampley also offered the kind of debonair smoothness one associates with the stage and film musicals of the 1930s in "They Can't Take That Away from Me," "Bidin' My Time" (from Gershwin's 1930 Girl Crazy) and "Little Gray House" from Kurt Weill's Lost in the Stars.
Schmidt, well known for his talent as an arranger, gave us a couple of samples in the "They Can't Take Away from Me" and "Beautiful Mornin'" and credited Andrew Gerle for a fabulously understated version of "The Impossible Dream." Schmidt also gave us the long opening solo of Ragtime, interspersed with his own all-too-memorable recollection of the 2009 opening night of the show at the Kennedy Center.
Aside from Broadway and its musical cousins, Stampley closed the first half with one of the Count's arias from Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro—leaving one wanting to see him in that role at this stage of his vocal and acting maturity. Another highlight was the a cappella spiritual "Up Above My Head."
But it wouldn't have been complete without something from Porgy and Bess, so Stampley saved the best for last, bringing another friend onstage, soprano Melissa Hinz, for a sweet, and all too short "Bess, You Is My Woman Now." The closest stop of his national tour is the Twin Cities…and a road trip is highly recommended.

Lubitel Love From Waist Level Chapter 26: Lubitel Experts, Luiz Antonio Paracampo Filho
Luiz's obsession with Soviet cameras dates back to 1962. As a technical photography buff, the most perfect camera that he could imagine was a synthesis a synthesis of the Contax S and a Leica screwmount rangefinder. While attending a Soviet Exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, he happened upon a Zenit 3 - which pretty much matched the ideal vision in his head! At that moment, Soviet cameras captured his imagination – and they haven't let go! -

· The Higsons were founded in 1980 at the University of East Anglia by Charlie 'Switch' Higson, Terry Edwards, Simon Charterton, Colin Williams, Dave Cummings and Stuart McGeachin. Over a string of Indie singles and an album, they married disjointed punk/funk rhythms and warbling vocals in a style which betrayed their love of Talking Heads.
· After singles on local Norwich-based labels like Romans In Britain and Waap and two releases for 2Tone, the band signed to Upright for long-overdue album The Curse Of The Higsons in 1984. Charlie later excelled as a comedian and writer (not least in The Fast Show) while Terry has seemingly played every instrument with myriad different bands.
· Long out-of-print, The Curse Of The Higsons is now treated to a deluxe 3-CD set, compiled, mastered and approved by Terry Edwards and the rest of the band.
· This expanded version adds all the versions/tracks which graced their two collectable singles for 2Tone ('Tear The Whole Thing Down' and 'Run Me Down'), plus other singles 'Push Out The Boat', their charming cover of Andy Williams' 'Music To Watch Girls By' and a demo of their swansong, 'Take It', from 1985.
· As a bonus third disc, the hitherto cassette-only album Live At The Jacquard Club, Norwich makes its digital debut. Issued on Chaos Tapes, it is now swelled by five tracks from a Lyceum show in 1984, three of which are previously unissued..
Members of The Higsons, including Charlie, will be speaking about the band's history as part of celebrations for UEA's 50th anniversary over the last weekend of September.

Saw this little guy staked out in a front yard as I drove by. He looked to be approx 35 inches tall. FWIW note: Read an article about miniature horses being trained to guide the blind. Having raised quarter horses (which are very smart) for 20-years, I personally would never let a horse lead me anywhere. But it's an interesting thought.
Photoshopped out a distracting chain link fence in the upper right. Also eliminated the long red tether around his hooves. |

A third story, also by Tavernise and Lehren, "Detainees Fare Worse in Iraqi Hands," reports on abuses carried out by the Iraqi army and police forces against prisoners. Despite the headline, though, the U.S. is not exonerated; Lehren and Tavernise note that "while some abuse cases were investigated by the Americans, most noted in the archive seemed to have been ignored, with the equivalent of an institutional shrug: soldiers told their officers and asked the Iraqis to investigate." Readers learn that the most serious abuses often come during arrests, when there is resistence, and damningly, the authors point out that the "worse examples of Iraqi abuse came later in the war." The implications are dark:
It is a frightening portrait of violence by any standards, but particularly disturbing because Iraq's army and police are central to President Obama's plan to draw down American troops in Iraq. Iraqi forces are already the backbone of security in Iraq, now that American combat troops are officially gone, and are also in charge of running its prisons.
Elsewhere, Gordon and Lehren burrow into one specific report for a shorter story to reveal that the three American hikers taken into Iranian custody for illegally crossing into Iran in July 2009 were in fact on the Iraqi side of the border.
On first read it appears that for the Times, the Iraq war logs reveal much about that country, ours, and Iran. - Joel Meares
The Guardian
The Guardian calls its package "Iraq: The War Logs", and goes high with revelations of "serial detainee abuse" and "15,000 [previously] unknown civilian deaths." (A subhed on the homepage bills the Guardian's coverage as the summary of "five years of carnage.") As of this posting, there are two ambitious multimedia components, the most impressive—and difficult to stomach—being "every death mapped," which breaks down the new data on both civilian and military deaths into little pink dots scattered across the country.
The lede for the Guardian's introduction to the package doesn't mince words, saying that the WikiLeaks documents detail "torture, summary executions and war crimes." The intro focuses on the sheer volume of incidents, while breakout stories—on detainee abuse, an Apache helicopter that killed insurgents trying to surrender, civilian deaths at checkpoints, etc.—turn the data into vivid anecdotes.
The paper puts the most emphasis on the 15,000 previously unreported civilian deaths revealed in the logs. It also emphasizes repeatedly the fact that U.S. and British officials have both denied the existence of military data on civilian deaths, noting a 2002 quote from General Tommy Franks: "We don't do body counts." The story on deaths at checkpoints is the best of the Guardian's more anecdotal stories; a very good subhed also provides context on checkpoint violence from both the soldier and civilian perspective: "Fear of suicide bombers means troops have shot drivers and passengers who were simply too scared or confused to stop."
The Guardian's coverage of detainee abuse highlights a coalition "fragmentary order" called "Frago 242." A "frago," as the story explains, is a military order "which summarises a complex requirement." Frago 242 was a decision not to investigate any instances of detainee abuse in which coalition troops were not directly involved (in other words, torture by Iraqi soldiers or police). The result was that U.S. medical examiners treated victims of torture, documented the incidents, and sent them through the proper channels, only to hear back that no investigation was required. The Guardian explains that Frago 242 resulted in both isolated and "systematic" instances of detainee abuse being buried—that is, until WikiLeaks brought them to the surface. - Michael Meyer
Al Jazeera English
Al Jazeera English focuses on the same secret U.S. military order not to investigate Iraqi torture. "The reports reveal how torture was rampant and how ordinary civilians bore the brunt of the conflict," reporter Gregg Carlstrom writes. "The files record horrifying tales: of pregnant women being shot dead at checkpoints, of priests kidnapped and murdered, of Iraqi prison guards using electric drills to force their prisoners to confess."
The site bolsters these findings with a dozen or so feature articles, focusing on individual topics such as civilian deaths at checkpoints, additional revelations about the helicopter squadron "Crazy Horse" that was responsible for the deaths of two Reuters journalists in 2007, a closer look at Iraq's deadliest suicide bombing in August 2007, and the story of the murder of a Catholic archbishop by al-Qaeda in Iraq in February 2008. In the "Showcase" section of the site, thirty-four reports are provided for readers in full and translated into plain English, but with most names redacted.

Yesterday I loaded up the car with enough goodies to make my first batches of the 5-1-1 container mix. Finding decent pine bark was tricky. I went to several stores and had my list of brands that were mentioned on here to reference. Luckily I have a ton of stores to choose from very nearby. I found the same mulch to be VERY variable from store to store. For example the Golden Trophy 302 pine bark mulch at Home Depot was almost like a bag of compost or peat, it was so fine and decomposed. At another store it was 2" chunks. Most brands seemed to be very large chunks of just bark, or large shredded bark and wood together. I never saw any that said they were fines or soil conditioner. I ended up spending a bit extra and getting some of the 2cf Mid-America pine bark mulch at a garden center for $5/bag which looked about right. Next time I hope to find some bags that will work for closer to $3.50 a bag.
My question is about the recipe. It says 5 parts bark, 1 part peat, 1 part perlite. For the large batch it says 5 gallons peat, 5 gallons perlite, and 2 to 3 cf of bark. I used a 5 gallon buck for my measurements and found each 2 cf bag of bark to have about 12.5 gallons in it. So I used 2 2cf bags for the batch to make it 25 gallons and keep with the 5-1-1 ratio. Just wondering if I am not understanding something?? It made quite a lot of mix. I made two large batches and used about one and a half batches to fill up my two half whiskey barrels, and I still have a half batch leftover to use elsewhere. I also used 2 cups of lime as called for in the large batch, but is that enough lime for the 25 gallons of bark I ended up using. I bought Mayville lawn and garden lime which is pulverized. It says the calcium carbonate equivalent is at least 102% with a neutralizing index of 80-89, and 22% calcium with 12% magnesium. There wasn't much info on the bag, it was just a plain brown paper bag. I had to look it up online to see if it was okay to use. It looks like great mix so far to me. Eventhough I paid more than I wanted to for my perlite and bark I still came out a lot cheaper per cubic foot than having to buy even a super cheap commercial peat based mix for my whiskey barrels. I got enough of everything but the bark to make 5 large batches total. Now I can keep my eye out for cheaper bark in the future for my next batches. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm a newcomer myself and it sounds like ya did good! Another way to look at the lime is 1 tablespoon per gallon of mix. So if you used 25 gallons, plus 5 gallons, plus 5 gallons, which basically equals 35 gallons, that would be 35 tablespoons of lime. There 16 tablespoons per cup, so the 2 cups is about right. |
I thought I had already replied to this, but it looks like it disappeared! Thanks for the info. I must have missed the part about using 1T lime per gallon of mix, that makes it easy. I have yet to actually plant in my mix, but it sure looks great so far! |
Hey! Best luck, to you both!! I hope it's a stellar year for you. Al |

The Gentoo trustees just had a phone conference to talk about the bylaws, and one topic that came up was the idea of "sponsor members". Why are sponsor members a good idea for Python (that is, what problem does it solve)? Also, would you point us to some of the other changes that you made, and the rationales behind them?

- KUB will have lane closures on Neyland Drive May 13.
KUB and its contractor will close both eastbound lanes on a short section of Neyland Drive between Lake Loudoun Boulevard and Leinard Lane from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, May 13, as work is completed around the exterior of the Kuwahee Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Both westbound lanes will remain open and eastbound traffic will be directed into the center lane on this section of Neyland Drive while work is completed.
Some listed closures may extend beyond the scheduled times depending on the conditions encountered during excavation and construction. Appropriate traffic control measures will be in place to assist motorists traveling in this area. Due to the ongoing presence of workers and equipment, motorists are advised to use extreme caution and expect temporary delays in this area.

To register via mail, send in the printable Registration Form.
For the first time we plan to travel south and spend a few days in Chittagong, where church partners and center workers are there to welcome us. This area is an area of focus for the Compassion Bangladesh management team. One way we're doing this is to strengthen the partnership with the local evangelical churches. You'll be so impressed as the staff at the child development centers share their vision with you, and you'll never forget the children you've hugged. Back in Dhaka, a day in the country office with our dedicated workers will show you firsthand how they administer the many details of our work. We end with a service project assisting with light work at one of our centers.
Please prayerfully consider joining us for this tour, which is so much more than "just a vacation." Your child is waiting!
Registration: Our trips fill up quickly on a first-come basis, so it is important to register by March 25, 2011. Once we have received your registration along with a deposit of $380.00, we will confirm your place on the tour and you may then purchase your domestic air ticket. The final payment of $3,440.00 is due no later than June 29, 2011.
Please register now to complete the registration form online. If you'd rather register by mail, print the Registraton Form.
Price: The cost of this tour is $3,820.00 per person for double occupancy.
Included in our tour price are round-trip airfare between JFK New York and Dhaka, Bangladesh, lodging, all meals, travel within Bangladesh, tips, your child's travel, guides and translators during the tour, admission fees, departure tax and administrative costs.
Costs not included in the tour price are transportation to and from JFK New York, passport and incidentals such as snacks, additional beverages, laundry, phone calls, film and other personal items. You may want to bring extra spending money for shopping at the local markets.
Safety and Preparation: This tour will be moderate in difficulty because of impoverished conditions. Also, there will be some walking, rides on bumpy roads, and long days. We will have a light work element in this tour. Compassion constantly monitors the safety of our destination countries and will make any adjustments necessary to protect our tour participants, sponsored children and in-country staff. We believe it is important to provide safe, comfortable accommodations, traditional meals and reliable transportation so that your focus can be on what God is teaching you and the impact of the experience rather than concern for your personal safety and well-being. Please read the Tour Conditions and General Information tab before finalizing your decision.
Days 1-3: We Made It to Bangladesh
Saturday - Monday, Oct. 15-17: Late Saturday evening our Qatar Airways flight takes off from New York City JFK with a brief layover in Doha, Qatar. Arriving in Dhaka very early Monday morning we immediately transfer to our hotel. Our first activity is to visit Compassion's Bangladesh office and meet the dedicated people who oversee our work there. We'll make a quick stop to shop for typical clothes for the remainder of our tour and then have orientation during dinner.
Day 4: Our First Big Day
Tuesday, Oct. 18: Sponsored children from the north as well as the Dhaka area will join us for a memorable day of activities, smiles, photos, hugs, and deeper relationship. Those of us with sponsored children in the south will visit a nearby child development center and hug the kids there. Oh, the things to share at dinner tonight!
Days 5-7: Time in Chittagong
Wednesday - Friday, Oct. 19-21: While here in the south, we find more excited children ready to welcome us to their child development center. One night we will have dinner with some pastors and learn about their vision for working with their children and communities, and the next day we spend time doing light service work at another center with Complementary Interventions. Don't worry, one day is special -- just for the sponsors with children from the south and these memories will last for a lifetime!
Days 8 and 9: Wrapping It Up in Dhaka
Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 22–23: Returning to Dhaka we have the opportunity to get our last questions answered at another child development center. Shopping for those special souvenirs and gifts finishes our day. During our farewell dinner we'll share memories and see how we can "take this home" to our families and friends.
Day 10: Returning Home
Monday, Oct. 24: Very early this morning we board Qatar Airways for the flight back to the United States. After a layover in Doha, we arrive at JFK New York mid-afternoon. Although it's been a long day, we realize our time together in Bangladesh has had an impact on us. Whether we connect to our final destinations later or spend the night in New York we can't wait to share our experiences with family and friends. Yes, we're advocates for children!
BACKGROUND CHECK In order to ensure our children's protection and determine eligibility to travel with Compassion, we now require all travelers (over the age of 18) to complete a criminal background check to ensure the safety of the children in our programs.
Please visit Screening One Sponsor Tour BC to complete your online background check at the time of registration. If you are unable to complete this online, please contact us and we will send you a paper form for you to fill out and return. Compassion uses a third party vendor, Screening One to process background checks. The results of your background check are confidential and all personal information is encrypted and secure.
RESERVATIONS should be made well in advance and require a nonrefundable deposit of $380.00 per person. Final payment of $3,440.00 is due no later than June 29, 2011.

I just had a couple of questions regarding StarSan. Everywhere on the bottle says its toxic and don't get in contact with your skin, don't ingest it, etc. But then in all the videos online people are just spraying it on everything, cleaning out their carboys with it, then siphoning their wort right into it. When it is so diluted is it not toxic and not affect the taste of the final product?
When diluted at the proper rate, its fine. A concentrated dose could be an irritant. Most cleaning products (for beer or otherwise) work the same way. Bleach comes to mind, chlorine too.
It's because lawyers like to make sure that their client's asses are covered so they insist on warning labels to make sure that noone sues....That doesn't necessarily mean that things are as uber dangerous as those labels lead us to believe..... It's even the same way with Government labelling. Starsan actually kills faster than the contact time on the label states.....but because of FDA mandates they have to state the contact time they do.... Rather than speculate or operate from ignorance and fear, why don't you just go straight to the horses mouse. This is a great podcast with Chuck Talley, the creator of it. Explaning everything you could conceive about it....

When I handle the proper diluted mix of starsan on brew day, it really dries my hands out, to the point of mild pain. Back to normal in 2-3 days.
I have no problems at all with it when diluted properly but I will say that I always get dry skin on my hands after a brew day. I suspect the star san.

Think back about a month or so, and you might recall the C-01, Lotus's striking superbike. No, it's not a true Lotus; the company just licensed its name and a handful of brand cache to a collaboration between German motorsport firms Kodewa and the Holzer Group. That's not to detract from the bike; it's a beautiful thing with a design that evokes both the futurism of Tron's Lightcycles and the wrought-with-meaning fuselage of a Supermarine Spitfire. I'm sure it goes nicely, too. But no matter how you spin it, it's a Lotus in name only. In fact, it isn't even the first two-wheeler to wear a Lotus badge. It isn't even the second.
Those honors would go to the Lotus Sport 108 and 110, a pair of advanced carbon-fiber bicycles produced in the early 1990s. The latter was a compromised road-going affair whose manufacture was shopped out to British Eagle (essentially the Huffy of England). The former, however, was the real deal: a world-record-smashing, high-tech, track-only masterpiece that Lotus made all on its own—sort of.
WATCH THIS: This is how Koenigsegg makes 13-lb carbon-fiber wheels.
Mike Burrows, an efficiency-minded bicycle designer who has dedicated his life to the ruthless pursuit of lighter weights and lower drag coefficients, is responsible for the original concept. The bike's outrageous style was a happy byproduct of Burrows's functional design: "My unique thing was to understand the aerodynamic potential [of a monocoque design], I didn't base the design on structure … There had been early attempts at a monocoque design, riveted aluminum, renderings for injected molded plastic. Porsche Design had come up with a concept using Fiberlam board. I used to fly model airplanes and race cars, so I understood aerodynamics; that was my concern, not structure."
Burrows's attempts to sell his design to a manufacturer were met with confusion. They didn't seem to understand what they were looking at. To make matters worse, the UCI (Union Cycliste International, the cycling world's equivalent to the FIA) banned monocoque designs for competition, citing a desire to keep the sport competitive. Still, Burrows wasn't ready to quit. He continued to refine the bike, abandoning the splayed front and rear forks in favor of its signature 'mono-blade' design, a cantilever setup that mated to the wheels on only one side.
Photo by Lotus
In 1991 a restructuring of the UCI's regulations resulted in a new set of dimensional and geometric rules that effectively reopened the door for monocoque designs. By happenstance, former Formula 2 racer and Lotus test driver Rudy Thomann had stumbled upon Burrows's design while visiting his shop. An avid cyclist, and by most accounts the entrepreneurial sort, Thomann brought Burrows's bicycle to the attention of the board at Lotus.
The project was a natural fit; Lotus's knowledge of aerodynamics and advanced composites made them the logical choice for development. Better yet, Great Britain had their first hope for cycling gold in 72 years in Chris Boardman, a promising young athlete and the only threat to the World Champion at the time, Jens Lehmann.
READ THIS: This Lotus 23B dominates a breathtaking Italian hillclimb
The project was on, but only if they could get the British Cycling Federation and their star rider on board. In the end, the Federation needed little convincing; the prospect of cycling gold being won by a British man on a British bike—no less a groundbreaking, high-tech British bike—was too enticing a PR coup to pass up.
The BCF's chief concern was the UCI's ruler-and-protractor-wielding minions. According to Burrows, the UCI makes the FIA look like tech at a 24 Hours of LeMons race. UCI regulations stipulated that a design had to be used in international competition at least once before the Olympics, but there was significant concern that radical design would attract too much attention in the care of superstar Boardman.
Photo by Lotus
The solution, as Burrows kindly explained in motorsport terminology, was to use the "smaller engine," meaning Lotus's first track-ready prototype was given to another British cyclist, Bryan Steel, for use in a World Cup qualifying event. When it appeared at the competition, it enticed significant interest from the other teams, but the UCI scrutineer paid it little attention. He weighed, measured, and passed it, in effect greenlighting it for use in the Olympics. Their little trick had worked.
Between the bike's debut in May and the Barcelona Olympics, Lotus made a good show of the striking design. They attracted a great deal of media attention by bringing a serious motorsport ethic to the cycling word, breaking down and rebuilding the bike in its entirety between runs. Rudy Thomann once famously delivered the bicycle to a competition in the South of France in a pre-production Esprit Turbo S2. Good show, indeed.
CLASSIC DRIVE: In 1970, the Lotus Europa S2 was a revelation
That isn't to say the bike was ready for the Olympics from the start. Lotus aerodynamicist and project lead Richard Hill was faced with a serious challenge when wind tunnel testing showed sub-par results. With Boardman astride, Burrows's prototype proved less aerodynamic than a traditional space frame design. "Conceptually, Burrows's design was all there," said Hill. "There was tremendous potential for both reducing drag in a zero-yaw position as well as generating thrust during ideal cross-wind situations." Lotus got the results they were looking for with a handful of design changes and Boardman's adoption of a radical new riding position. During a practice session at Barcelona, Boardman shattered the 4-km world record by 4 seconds.
Photo by Getty Images
The design proved its worth a few days later, when Boardman famously caught World Champion Lehmann in the 4-km Men's Pursuit, winning Britain's first cycling gold in 72 years.
In the aftermath of Boardman's astounding victory, the media spotlight descended upon Lotus and Burrows. As is expected when individuals of such talent and vision collaborate, there remains a palpable difference in opinion as to who was more important to the design, Burrows or Hill. Still, speaking to both parties confirms no ill will, just different recollections of the past. Everyone seems to have gotten the exposure they wanted: Burrows parlaying his newfound notoriety into a lucrative design partnership with Giant Bicycles; Lotus further cementing themselves into Great Britain's rich history of being very, very fast and very, very stylish.
READ THIS: New legislation would ban Jaguar E-Type from downtown London
But as the memory of a victory fades and the glory of Lotus's association resolves into the background of their brand identity, what are we left with? Pure and simple: the bike. Like a vintage race car held in suspended animation in a museum, we have an object of admiration that has outlasted its own relevance—a beautiful, functional design with a ruthlessly fast aura. The first two-wheeled Lotus.
