From Peace Corps Wiki
The Peace Corps established a program in Nepal in 1962 and placed the first group of 100 Volunteers in education and agriculture assignments. To date, over 4,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in a wide variety of programs to assist the government of Nepal in delivering essential services to the Nepalese. The deteriorating security situation forced Peace Corps/Nepal to reduce its training input in Fiscal Year 2000 and again in Fiscal Year 2002.
The program in Nepal was officially suspended on September 13, 2004. The Peace Corps has had a successful 42-year program in Nepal, making great strides in the areas of small business development, education, environment, youth development and working on health and HIV/AIDS education and awareness.

At his blog, Hans Rickheit presents a first look at his next couple of comics projects. Above: a teaser of a teaser.
Holy smokes, there's no shortage of Online Commentary & Diversions today:
• Review: "...Prison Pit... is nothing less than a continuous, no-holds barred, violent assault on the eyes. It is literally one god damned, bloody fight scene after another... The book's genius lies in Ryan's sheer nerve and imagination in setting up these battles; he constantly ups the ante in the most bizarre and inventive ways possible. ... Ryan's love of body functions goes into full gonzo mode here. ...you've got a book where body horror extends far beyond the repulsive into the truly sublime and inspired. ... Despite the gore, or perhaps, because of it, Prison Pit is a fantastic, accomplished work." – Chris Mautner, Robot 6
• Review: "Page after page [of The Squirrel Machine] features one of the brothers traversing through some odd, off-kilter landscape, either out in the woods, or, more often, in their home. Between the floorboards and walls seem to exist an endless array of paths and rooms, each cluttered with an endless array of junk, machines and the occasional disturbing, inexplicable oddity. The end result resembles more of an old-style adventure video game than a comic. It's Myst, directed by David Cronenberg." – Chris Mautner, Robot 6 (same link as above)
• Review: "Perhaps what makes West Coast Blues so captivating is how well it highlights the similarities between film and comics, while simultaneously showcasing its own unique ability as a graphic novel to capture the noir aesthetic through word and image. ... Not unlike many noir films, West Coast Blues is replete with car chases, hit-men, drinking, guns, and the occasional salacious scene. All of this is set in Tardi's straightforward drawing style which is a good fit for the almost matter-of-fact, unsentimental manner in which violence, sex, and life in general are met with during the course of the book." – Sara Cole, PopMatters
• Review: "Most comic strips today, especially those that are humor strips, often avoid topical subjects. Schulz embraced the topics of the era. They may date the strip, but it never leaves them outdated. ... Schulz was also not afraid to carry on-going storylines for several days or in some cases, even a couple of weeks. ... [The Complete Peanuts 1973-1974 ] also features all the favorite subjects like Linus' annual wait for the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown's trip to Summer camp, and Sally's letters to Santa Claus. This is why Peanuts is the greatest strip ever!" – Tim Janson, Newsarama
• Review: "Jason seems to delight in building firm plots, only to swiftly tug them out of sync. The resulting offbeat dynamic is punctuated with deadpan verbal, narrative and graphic punch lines, which pin the stories down at the same time that they suggest grander meanings. 'Where am I?' asks a prisoner. 'I think I'll do some gardening,' says a murdered man. 'Which way?' a son asks his father in 'You Are Here' — the heartrending emotional core of the collection [Low Moon] — as they search for his mother on a barren planet. Each line and frame could mean nothing or could mean everything in this quiet, gripping book." – Becky Ferreira, The L Magazine
• Interview: Jason speaks frankly about Low Moon with Becky Ferreira of The L Magazine (different link than above): "Low Moon, the story, wasn't long enough for a book of its own, so I had to include some other stories to fill it out. They were just ideas for shorter stories I had lying around. There wasn't meant to be any thematic unity. Death, I guess, is a repeating theme. People die a lot."
• Interview: Tommy Hill of the Columbia Daily Spectator talks to The Comics Journal assistant editor Kristy Valenti about comics criticism and The Importance of Comics: "I teach my interns that nobody cares about them and their feelings and their dog when they were 8; while their experience and perspective is valuable, it's just a jumping off point to get at bigger things."
• Plugs: In his Washington Post review of David Small's Stitches, Michael Sims places Daniel Clowes's Ghost World and Megan Kelso's The Squirrel Mother on "the list of powerful works of art in this versatile medium"
• Plug: "You Are There...: More beautiful Jacques Tardi, a seminal work in comics for adults in the French-language market and a first-paragraph mention work for both Tardi and writer Jean-Claude Forest." – Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter
• Plug: "[You Are There] is a strange, wordy, spicy satire, seeing a man struggle to live on the walls surrounding land stolen from him; maybe it's best to see for yourself." - Joe McCulloch, Jog - The Blog (read the rest of his blurb for some interesting background info on the book)
• Events: At his blog, Hans Rickheit reports back from his Squirrel Machine book tour
• History: At Bleeding Cool, Warren Ellis examines the place of Gil Kane's Blackmark in comics history
Late nite link blogging for your Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "You wanna talk about a gateway comic? How 'bout handing this sucker [Ganges #3] to anyone who's ever had trouble falling asleep? The whole thing is dedicated to nothing more or less than reproducing the mental and physical sensations of insomnia. Ironically it's Huizenga's most action-driven comic this side of Fight or Run or the video-game bits in Ganges #2. ... Combine it with one of the most effective uses yet of the Ignatz series' two-tone color palette--here a cool small-hours blue--and the experience is almost tactile, as though you're physically tunneling through the mysteries of your own mind." – Sean T. Collins [ed. note: I swear I'll have the issue up for presale on the website next week]
• Review: "No one is safe in Al Columbia's world. Not the kittens (they get decapitated) nor the children (they get baked into pies) nor the bunnies (they carry scythes). Correspondingly, no one is innocent. Grandmothers are evil, grandfathers are greedy, and trees grow baby heads instead of apples and oranges. What a wonderful world it is. That's not an entirely ironic evaluation of Pim & Francie, a collection of sketches, strips, stills and other valuable ephemera from the mind of Columbia (creator of the 1990s cult classic Biologic Show). The twisted narratives and characters are presented so deftly — with such humor and visual panache — that their wrongness becomes right; and thus is the singular charm of Al Columbia." – Molly Young, We Love You So
• Review/Profile: "Earlier this year, Fantagraphics gave readers the opportunity to encounter [Harvey] Kurtzman's creative energy in complete form by reissuing a boxed collection of Humbug, his short-lived but monumental periodical that began publication in summer of 1957. It's Humbug that functions as the spiritual father for magazines such as National Lampoon, Spy and The Onion, among many others, but there's something invigorating about it because of its vantage point in the supposedly stodgy and bland 1950s. Coming out of that decade, Humbug really did break new ground." – John Mitchell, North Adams Transcript
• Review: "Even though Woodstock casts a large shadow on the cover of Fantagraphics' The Complete Peanuts 1973-1974, it's Peppermint Patty who should get star billing. Not to take anything away from Snoopy's yellow-feathered avian sidekick – who does make several appearances through the hardcover tome – it's just that Patty eventually gets the brunt of character development attention, while Woodstock exists as the perfect foil for Snoopy. ... Also of note is Schulz's repeated use of standard gags (Lucy pulling the football from Charlie) along with a few new ones, including the consoling 'Poor, sweet baby.' Because of his tendency to keep running gags contained within a year's span, it makes a trade collection work better than with most comic strips." – Christopher Irving, Graphic NYC
• Review: "What quickly becomes clear is that the graphic novel is a particularly apt form for inhabiting unconventional characters, and very few do this as well as The Squirrel Machine. Wielded skilfully, images are as expressive as words, and occasionally more so. Rickheit's drawings convey the boys' tortured feelings of persecution, elation and curiosity — as well as their uncouth creative urges — in a succinct and often gruesome way. Rickheit's frames vary from the cluttered to the stark, and his ability to pack detail into four square inches is rivalled only by his ingenious use of white space. ...The Squirrel Machine convinces anew that a picture is worth a thousand words." – Molly Young, Intelligent Life
• Interview: For Marvel.com, Sean T. Collins talks to Strange Tales contributor Tony Millionaire: "Just as you called, I was reading an old collection of THOR... It's funny: 'I say thee nay'? I didn't realize that was such a popular phrase."
• Interview: Peter Bagge recently appeared on The Marketplace of Ideas, a radio program hosted by Colin Marshall on KCSB 91.9 in Santa Barbara, California, to discuss Everybody Is Stupid Except for Me — you can stream or download the podcast of the program at Marshall's website (if it's not on the front page anymore, check the archive page)

October, when kingdoms rise, and kingdoms fall, but Online Commentary & Diversions goes on and on:
• Review: "If the world of alt-comics feels appealing but intimidatingly vast (what doesn't these days), MOME is the perfect place to start. ... The volume is thick, slick and printed in what looks like Technicolor. An anthology is only as good as the sensibilities of those who compile it, of course, so it's worth noting that a subscription of MOME equals four issues per year of work culled from the depths by an outfit that not only has keen vision in such matters, but also a stake in finding the very best. What's not to trust?" – Molly Young, We Love You So
• Review: "...[Locas II,] the latest collected chunk of the (mis)adventures of locas Maggie and Hopey (and the occasional 'loco,' like Ray, the consort of sexy Frogmouth -- does it seem like a good soap opera yet? -- and their sprawling, recurring cast of compelling, sometimes hard-to-figure supporting characters) all brought me squarely back to Los Angeles. In the 80s. ... But returning to L&R, even sporadically, isn't simply an exercise in nostalgia. ...[W]hat's ultimately compelling about the L&R saga is the way the characters change over the years. ... So it's not just a [madeleine] cookie from our past, but something still fairly warm from the oven." – Mark London Williams, The SF Site: Nexus Graphica
• Review: "There is such a relentlessly fervid, even crazed, sheen to all [Fletcher Hanks's] work, that you can't look away. ... Hanks seemed nearly demon-driven in these stories of constant fighting, killing, betrayal and revenge. The panels are often cramped, and the color schemes are nearly incandescent, and you're not sure whether to liken the rawness of it all -- elastic, rubber-boned physiognomies included -- to listening to a record by Fear, circa 1980, or watching a half-dressed man shouting on the corner." – Mark London Williams, The SF Site: Nexus Graphica (same link as above)
• Review: "Tardi's intricate, cartoony, and beautiful art perfectly expresses Forest's ideas and words. The humorous You Are There masterfully satirizes French society and politics unlike any comic before or since." – Rick Klaw, The SF Site: Nexus Graphica
• Plug: "It always amazes me how [Kevin] Huizenga can take everyday moments, like, in [Ganges #3], trying to get to sleep, and turn them into extravagant, elaborate displays of cartooning genius." – Chris Mautner, Robot 6
• Interview: At Comic Book Galaxy, Alan David Doane poses 5 questions to our favorite Associate Publisher, Eric Reynolds
• Profile: "Comics creator Hans Rickheit's new graphic novel, The Squirrel Machine, is a stylish and surreal tale of brothers dabbling in the forbidden unknown. ... He lives in Philadelphia, but his work pulls from the style and antiquity of 19th Century New England. 'The objects, places, and people from that time period in New England grabbed my imagination," Rickheit says. 'I find them visually more interesting than modern trappings, modern buildings. And they're more fun to draw, because they're just so ornate.'" – John Seven, Worcester Magazine
• Profile: Rodger Coleman, inspired by his Little Enid Coleslaw doll from Presspop, waxes appreciative of Dan Clowes, Eightball & Ghost World
• On his blog, Tom Kaczynski takes note of the inclusion of his story "Million Year Boom" from Mome Vol. 11 in The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2009 (along with Mome stories by Olivier Schrauwen and Émile Bravo — don't tell anyone, but they ain't American)
• Things to see: Noah Van Sciver pens a strip about his trip to SPX with John Porcellino for The Beat
Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "[The Squirrel Machine is a] darkly disturbing, brilliantly drawn story... B&W pen and ink drawings elucidate complex machines and Victorian-era architecture in baroque detail, while surrealist imaginings take turns for the truly repugnant. Sexual perversion, putrefaction and serial-killer style artworks are all ornately portrayed, as are the buildings, shops, horse-drawn carriages and crumbling mansions of a 19th-century small town. The story, while told primarily in pictures, includes a stilted and formal dialogue that only adds to the perversity. ... Though not for the faint of heart, this obscure tale will offer rich rewards to the right kind of reader, one who appreciates grotesque horror, angry mobs and the creative explosion of a repressed Victorian sexuality." – Publishers Weekly
• Review: "In this memoir [Giraffes in My Hair], [Bruce] Paley openly shares his stories of the '60s and '70s, and by the end you'll feel like he's a long-lost uncle. ... At some point, this book will probably become a movie, but I suggest you check out the uncensored version with [Carol] Swain's great artwork, which sets the scene perfectly. It's a miracle Paley survived to tell these anecdotes, but I'm glad he did." – Whitney Matheson, USA Today Pop Candy
• Plug: Animator Jan Stephens recommends the works of Thomas Ott
• Profile: Joe Heller, editorial cartoonist for the Green Bay Post-Gazette, talks to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Tirdad Derakhshani in a syndicated article about the influence of Prince Valiant ("The release of Prince Valiant, Vol. 1: 1937-1938, the first in a new series of gorgeously printed, hardcover Valiant collections from Fantagraphics Books, served as a bittersweet reminder of the century-long rise and eventual decline of a great American art form, the comic strip"), with accompanying video
• Hooray for Hollywood: Popeye optioned for CGI movie; please don't screw it up
• Onomatopœia: Stephen Worth at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Project Blog presents a great Basil Wolverton rarity: an article Wolverton wrote for the Daily Oregonian in 1948 titled "Acoustics in the Comics." Learn the difference between "SCHALAMPF!" and "PFWUMPFPH!" (It's a re-run, but still worth a look)
• Things to see: Is Steven Weissman (a) prepping for Halloween, (b) inventing a new superhero, or (c) hoping to get cast on the next season of Project Runway? Whatever it is, I like it
Here's a nice chunk of Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Awards: La educación de Hopey Glass (the Spanish edition of The Education of Hopey Glass) by Jaime Hernandez has won yet another Best Foreign Work award at a Spanish festival, this time the XIV Avilés Comic Convention, reports Science Fiction Awards Watch (via the Forbidden Planet International blog)
• Review: "These latest tales from the art comics trailblazers are sure to draw readers in with their melancholic tone and the adventurous comic art that has enthralled readers for decades. ...[W]e see Jaime's superheroes going wild, both narratively and visually.... 'Sad Girl' is... classic character-driven storytelling from Gilbert and will be welcomed by all the Luba fans out there. His second story, 'Hypnotwist,' is the cherry on top of this volume... The narrative's dreamlike quality and its rich and mesmerizing imagery make it a surreal tour de force." – Publishers Weekly
• Review: "...Brunetti [knows] that for shock art to have any value behind it at all, you have to have some degree of conscience as the engine. As readers we're required to know and agree that this sort of thing is untenable, in order for us to constantly re-evaluate and come to terms with our own morals. Which would make the title of this book [Ho! The Morally Questionable Cartoons of Ivan Brunetti] rather appropriate. So you should read this book and make your mind up. But be warned, it will play with your disgust and your chuckle muscle in ways you might not have imagined beforehand." – Will Fitzpatrick, Bookmunch
• Review: "Carol Swain... portray[s] Paley's excursions (Giraffes in my Hair: A Rock'n'Roll Life is a sort of anecdotal graphic short story collection in many ways, albeit a graphic short story collection with a bunch of recurring characters) in a scratchy, pencil, black and white style that somehow perfectly sums up the stories – just as Bruce scratches around for money, so Swain's pencil scratches around at the background detail.... [I]f you're a fan of rock'n'roll, if you dig the Beats, if you like grimey tales of excess and the underbelly of success, this is for you." – Bookmunch
• Review: "[Joe] Daly's art is interesting, earthy pastel tones helping to create a sort of sun-kissed backdrop against which his figure work recalls Joe Spent (albeit Joe Spent by way of Cheech & Chong or Harold & Kumar). There are some great effects..., some great chuckle-out-loud writing and the sort of page-turning graphic novel that'll have you filing the name Joe Daly away for future reference, with a wee Post-It note saying, 'Make sure to check out anything else this guy gets up to' attached. [The Red Monkey Double Happiness Book is] a real breath of fresh air, an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours, the kind of graphic novel you'll want to pass on to your buddies who dig that kind of thing — what more can you ask?" – Bookmunch
• Review: "I still think of Hey, Wait as [Jason's] best work, the most nuanced, the most beguiling. Even rereading it before writing this, there are so many things I feel like I only half-understand, images that hint at something I can never grasp all the way.... If you haven't read Hey, Wait yet, mm-mm you've got some good reading ahead of you." – Dustin Harbin, The HeroesOnline Blog
• Review: "...[Our Gang Vol. 3] is excellent. You need no knowledge of the films to follow the action, and each issue was self-contained, so you can read it in chunks.... An essay at the beginning of the book puts the stories into the context of their times, very important for any comic book from that era.... Definitely worth a read if you are a fan of old comics that don't involve superheroes." – Laura Gjovaag
• Analysis: At Bleeding Cool, Adisakdi Tantimedh looks at Jaime Hernandez's "Ti-Girl Adventures" from Love and Rockets: New Stories in the context of superhero crossover events: "It really is his Final Crisis, only he effortlessly and breezily beats Grant Morrison at his own game.... 'Ti-Girl Adventures' is pretty much a testament to why we like superhero stories as kids and look back on them with fondness and might continue to like them."
• Analysis: Splinter's Reviews offers a slightly different take on "Ti-Girl Adventures": "It's very difficult to actually compare this Love and Rockets offering to the revisionist tales of Alan Moore and Grant Morrison that have memorably tackled some of the similar themes. Jamie Hernandez may tackle the same subjects of scientific and magical origins of the superhero characters, their eternal youth, and the sexism in comics, but he does it in a completely different way." (via The Comics Reporter)
• Scene: At Comics Comics, more of Dash Shaw's reporting from Brazil
• Interview: The Daily Cross Hatch talks to Hans Rickheit about his upcoming book tour in the last part of their 4-part interview: "I've actually pondered the idea of hiring a good looking actor—or actress—to be me. I'll do a rubber life mask of my face and have them wear it, and they can be friendly and say all of the right things."

See ya at SPX!
The answer to that question can be obtained in the form of an unusual new graphic novel in a book-signing tour working its way up the northeast coast this Autumn.
THE SQUIRREL MACHINE is the brainchild of HANS RICKHEIT, who will be making appearances to autograph books, make sketches and speak personally to curious readers.
The Plot: Situated in a fictive 19th Century New England town, two brothers, Edmund and William Torpor confront public scorn when they reveal their musical creations built from strange technologies and scavenged animal carcasses. Driven to seek a concealment for their aberrant activities, they make a startling discovery. Will they divine the mystery of THE SQUIRREL MACHINE?
This book is a meticulously-rendered creation that defies all known genres. It can best be described as "POST-RATIONAL" or "RETRO-FUTURIST." Disregarding labels and buzz-phrases, it is ultimately an immutably strange and haunting narrative that transcends known logics and presumptive dream-barriers. A distillation of subconscious beauty and madness. A dangerous object for the incautious. A revelation for the undernourished crypto-seeker .
HANS RICKHEIT was born in 1973 and grew up in New England, lived in the basement of an eccentric art gallery/performance space called the Zeitgeist Gallery from 1997-2002, and currently resides in Philadelphia. Aside from his many self-published efforts, he has appeared in many anthologies, including PAPER RODEO, HOAX and KRAMERS ERGOT.
"Recalling both the stark, controlled nightmares of Al Columbia and the gonzo repulsive sexuality of Dave Cooper, Hans Rickheit has trolled his id and purged it on the page" - Matt Fraction, ARTBOMB
"Rickheit has become more prolific with each passing year, producing work that has always been worthy of attention." - Chad Parenteau, THE COMICS INTERPRETER
"Rickheit is a vastly under-seen talent." - Tom Spurgeon, THE COMICS REPORTER

Onward with Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Reviews: "Locas ll collects a huge amount of comics featuring a more mature Maggie, finding and losing romance with people like Ray (one part Chandler victim, another part mod hobo), 'Frogmouth' (painfully sexy but achingly annoying), and reunions with Hopey and others in a strange relational ballet set in SW America. It's a weird, flat plain of bizarre sex and twisted circumstance that would be the first collection of comics I would recommend for any adult wanting to get a handle on the aesthetics of the art form since it became culturally relevant to do so.... Meanwhile, Fantagraphics has also just put out a new issue of the Comics Journal #299, which has an incredible narrative by lawyer-outsider art-underground advocate Bob Levin... Levin is the writer of several books on the struggle of comics and the counter-culture and transgressive fringes, and because of him #299 of TCJ is THE book about comic art to buy this year.... Mome... is the current multi-artist series that has critics in the comics world and outside of it regularly amped.... The last few issues of Mome have really hit a hot-run of quality, and though some stories are more straightforward and others are expressionistic, all the art is always sweet." - Chris Estey, KEXP
• Review: "Comics journalism is mostly an oxymoron, but The Comics Journal, on the eve of its 300th issue, is a scholarly, intellectual publication.... [F]or intelligent discussion of current and past graphic storytelling and its creators (the current issue features an incredible story of an ahead-of-its-time genre-spanning anthology from the seventies that was never published), this is indeed an oasis of comics journalism." - Richard Pachter, The Miami Herald
• Review: "...[A]wesome to behold.... When life and love, of a sort, finally do reassert themselves at [The Squirrel Machine]'s end, it's horrifying and drawn in a fashion that makes it look less like a natural thing and more like a terrible apparition, or a special effect." - Sean T. Collins

O! Ancient of days
who sits on the throne,
You shall reign unending days,
And no one can drone.
Your garment white as snow,
Your hair like pure wool,
You're highly lifted; I know,
One who doubts you is a fool.
Your throne like fiery flame,
And your wheels as burning fire,
Your foes are put to shame
And for'er damned in your ire.

Start with your business objective, invest in research, know what success looks like, and look at the big picture.
Evaluating the success of your marketing efforts across key performance indicators (KPIs) is essential; however, making those KPIs meaningful can be a challenge. Here are four steps that can ensure you are accurately measuring the performance of your marketing efforts.
1. Start with your business objective. Aligning with the company's overall business objectives is important in proving marketing activities have the ability to directly impact the overall performance of the business. Additionally, this can help you develop marketing objectives and a strategy that aligns with the business objectives.
Ensure these marketing objectives have the ability to be universal and translate to KPIs across all of your efforts, from the goals established in your website analytics to media objectives. All too often marketers can get tactical in evaluating performance by expected metrics. For example, leads from a trade show or completion rates from online video are metrics or data segments typically used to evaluate these tactics; however, if leads or awareness is not part of the objective then how is that working to move the needle?
2. Invest in research. Frequently we hear about "the power of data." However, many organizations need to reevaluate the data they have, how they are using the data, how they are getting the data, and what additional data is essential in measuring their objectives. Working with what data you have is valuable, but also knowing what data you want to have and investing in the research can be a big win for many stakeholders across the business. Set up a research effort to ensure the data you want is going to be clear, measureable, and actionable.
3. Know what success looks like. Creating KPIs, establishing benchmarks, and iterating to improve performance is essential in realizing the potential of any marketing effort, but you also have to know where to draw the line in order to determine if the effort is successful enough for you to continue to optimize. Having a hard cost-per-acquisition metric is easy, but not all businesses are able to have such clear metrics. Evaluating the lifetime value of a customer or specific segment audience is a good place to start in understanding that value.
4. Look at the big picture. The lifetime value of a customer is critical for many organizations to recognize not only on the importance of acquisition and growth, but also where they need to invest more on retention. Additionally, when looking at metrics on a higher level insights emerge that can help to identify where problems or issues are. For example, spending $500,000 in media for an online marketing campaign to drive orders is fruitless if there is a problem with the website conversion rate. Spend the time and energy in looking at the big picture before you start throwing money around. Building benchmarks and KPIs from a poor user experience is hardly ideal. Identify your weaknesses, show your improvements, and then start benchmarking and optimizing.
While there are only four steps, the overall process can be overwhelming. To make sense of it all, map out a long-term plan of where you want to be and how you will get there with regular performance reporting and analysis along the way. It's OK to make an assumption with the data you have in an effort to move forward and qualify that assumption later. The most important part is ensuring you have the ability to evaluate everything not only against the laid-out KPIs, but how it all works together in supporting the objectives.

First of all, I would not really call this a bed and breakfast even though it is on the site.
Breakfast is not included. We did have a large, well equiped kitchen, which had a fridge with jam and butter, and a bowl of fruit. Then, one day, the owner baked a rhubarb cake, which was delicious.
The two available rooms are located under the house, as well, there is a large kitchen and a huge lounge room with plenty of comfortable seating. We had our own bathroom.
It was located in a very quiet part of Jasper, and Elk could be seen from the house.
In saying this, it didn't matter to us as accommodation and everything else is expensive in Jasper, and this was reasonably priced and good.
Prices in 2010 are $150.00 per night for the suite for 4 persons
Suitable for 2 couples travelling together or family.
Suite has two bathrooms one with jacuzzi tub and one with walk in shower

Patricia Lakes Bungalows: A Slice of Paradise
Very Friendly staff. Excellent facilites. Had a hot tub but we didn't use it...not our speed. Private cabins. Very quite location. There is a loop nearby the cabin called Patricia Loop. We call it "Patricia poop loop" because the trail is shared by horses, and they don't poooper scoop after horses....aside from that its a nice trail. They have a variety of lifestyle cabin living in case you want something more rustic or luxurious. Checkout their website...I think its www.patricialakebungalows.com I found it on the web by lucky accident. They are not listed in the AAA guidebook.
Great views. Every morning you might see caribou grazing within feet of your cabin. T'was awesome. Very close to Jasper townsite too.

Whistler's Inn: In the heart of Jasper
Whistler's Inn is located on the main street in Jasper, right across from the Via Rail station. As with most hotels in Jasper, Whistler's Inn is within walking distance of everything in the town. There are two floors with about 30 rooms on each floor. The rooms are well kept and comfortable. One negative is that the walls are pretty thin, as it was very loud when the person in the room next to mine was taking a shower or people walking by in the hall were talking.
We had some problems with some of the other guests on our floor, and the ladies at the front desk were very helpful. They even offered to upgrade us to another room at no extra charge to us, which we were not expecting at all.
The rates are fairly reasonable, ranging from $95-$200 in the low season and $125-$300 in the high season.
Some of the amenities include two restaurants, a pub, gift shop, rooftop hot tubs, steam room, and a rather odd wildlife museum.

Tonquin Inn: Tonquin Inn
Sept. 2006 - I stayed at this hotel 2 years ago, and unfortunately the first memories that come to mind are not very good ones. Me and my fiance stayed for 2 nights in 2 different types of rooms. The second room we had was quite nice. It had a sunken living room and a fire place and was quite romantic. The bed was roomy enough for two people who might want room to spread out. There are two things that did bother us . We asked for a late check out of 11am each day, and someone from the front desk called as at 9am each day telling us we had to check out. On the same note, while we were still in the room one morning, the cleaning ladies tried to come into our room and clean it while we were still in it.
UPDATE - April 2009 - I stayed at the Tonquin Inn again for two nights over the Easter long weekend. Everything went much more smoothly this time around. Check in and check out were quick and the staff were professional. Nobody tried to clean my room when I had the do not disturb sign up :) The king room was quite small. The bed took up most of the room. it was fine for us as we were only staying two nights and only had one big bag, but might not be so good for people with more luggage. There was a mini fridge in the room.
I originally tried to book the room (king bed) online. There was an online deal of 35% off. I filled out all my info and then was told the reservation could not be completed and I had to phone the hotel. Ok. I did that, and was quoted a different, higher, price. I told him about the online offer, and he said he couldn't offer me that anymore (something about only selling a certain number of rooms at that price) but he could give me 15% off. Not great, but better than nothing and he offered without me asking.
They have an indoor pool that is heated, which is very nice. The pool is quite large. There is also a modest hot tub.
There is a fair sized parking lot at the Inn, but there are not enough parking spots compared to rooms. It is on a first come, first served basis. If you don't get a spot in the lot, there is street parking as well.
There is a restaurant on site, but I did not go there.

Jasper International Hostel: Not for an extended stay
If you don't have a car, you don't want to stay there as it is located a little out of Jasper. They have big dorms with dozens of beds and the lights automatically turn on and out in the morning and at night. There is curfew so you won't be able to get in if you make it too late: we found a couple sleeping in the hall in the morning.
This is not a hostel for privacy; we stayed there because all other Hostelling International hostels were closed at that period of the year (end of April). Not exactly a bad experience, but some hostels are better.

HI Hostel Jasper: Hostelling
I basically got in around 8pm, showered and went into Jasper for dinner and nightlife, came home and crashed to get up and head out. Therefore, I didn't hangout too much at the hostel. However, there were no problems. The only problem was the 2am curfew. They aren't kidding that at 2am they lock the door. I arrived at about 2:05 and the door was locked! After a little banging someone opened up.
It's a pretty quiet hostel, at least that night was and the night my buddies went it was also.
I can't recall exactly which hostel this was, but I found it to be the third hostel enroute from Lake Louise to Jasper. The first two were sold out and I got lucky to get in at this one. This place must have had about 30 bunk beds, they can accomodate a lot of people. After trying to find out the name of this hostel, I found that some of the hostels along the way are 'rustic hostels' and do not have running water so I suggest you call first to get the lowdown.
internet available. A variety of food you can buy. Various books and games.

The Crossing: Get to the Crossing .....
Not only is this hotel located perfectly just inside of Banff's northern border .... it is also along the intersection of Hwy93 and Hwy11 .. a perfect little spot almost smack dab in the middle of the Icefields Parkway!
I wanted to put it here with my Jasper page, as I stayed here at the Crossing after my day wandering Jasper ... so to me, regardless of the map findings .... this place makes me think of Jasper .......
So you might see this tip again, in the proper place :)
Less expensive than most of the high season rooms in the park, I was pleased with my clean room's cabin motif. I also had access to the spa ..... hot tub, sauna, weight room, etc ....... aaaahhhhhh, a wonderful way to prove to myself that I'm on vacation :)
They also have a gas station, convenience store, gift shop, pub, dining room, and cafeteria ........ quite a special little set up! You just check in, and can wander the grounds for a bit before you unwind enough to sleep ......

Becker's Chalets: At Home in Jasper
For a relaxing "home away from home", Becker's Chalets can't be beat. This collection of cabins and fourplexes is just a short drive south of Jasper town, and hugs a bend in the Athabasca River. Here you can stroll and watch the whitewater rafters sweep by, come across elk and deer in the woods, and watch the moon rise over the mountains.
Each cabin and each unit in the the fourplex is spacious and comfortable. The cabins have wood buring fireplaces, the fourplex units (which are more modern) have gas fireplaces. Although most cabins and units have full kitchens in them, if you don't feel like cooking, there is even a dining room in the main lodge where mouth-watering Canadian specialties are served.
Becker's Chalets is located in a quiet and scenic spot on the Athabasca River, but is only a 5 minute drive south of Jasper town.
Becker's Chalets are open from May to mid-October. During May and mid-September to October, off season rates (which are cheaper than the ones I've noted above) apply.

Hostelling International - Canada: Stay at one of the youth hostels
There are five youth hostels located in Jasper National Park and in accordance with the natural setting, they all have a charmingly rustic log cabin/ski cabin look. In general, they are a bit smaller and maybe not as comfortable as some other youth hostels but they will make you feel closer to nature.

We arrived in Jasper Friday, June 6. After checking out a few places, we decided on the JASPER INN ALPINE RESORT.They were all very pricy. We had a standard room, nothing special, no air-conditioning. I guess you pay for the resort amenities, which include an indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna and steam room. There is also a nice Garden Terrace to have that cup of coffee or afternoon tea. Also fine dining is availabe in the Inn Restaurant. The price was $125.00 plus taxes ($140.00) and that was with my CAA discount

Athabasca Hotel: When the music's thumping don't be trying to sleep
Up the end of the main strip of shops in the town centre you will find this hotel. Tourist class accomodation. Not the best but is one of the best locations I know.
Downstairs is the bar and nightclub. Hence over the busier nights you may be wise not stay here if you're a light sleeper.
But overall the place is great. Great location.

Icefield Chalets: Icefield Chalets
The hotels is on the third floor of the Icefield center. We stay one night so we could take the first snowcoach tour the next morning. The tour gets pretty crowded after 10 Am.The
Galcier vew room offer great view the Athabasca Glacier. Some room with 3 queen bed and a sofa bed which can sleep up to 6 to 7 person. The price is average. $ 195 CND for Glacier vew. It is about half way between Jasper and Banff so you do'nt have to rush from Banff to Jasper in one day. But I do not like their lavatory faucet. You have to keep holding the lever to get water. I guess they want you to save water .

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
13 Jul 2011 14:22 GMT | Politics, Kenya, Sudan
Sudan: War and independence was made by Callum Macrae and John D McHugh. Here Callum Macrae writes about meeting the leader of the SPLA rebels in the disputed border area of Southern Kordofan.
Abdel Aziz Adam Al Hilu, the leader of the SPLA rebels in the disputed border area of Southern Kordofan, emerged silently from the darkness, beaming genially.
We had travelled for the best part of a day and night for this meeting, and we had no idea where we were, beyond the fact that we were in the open, somewhere in the Nuba mountains. We had travelled in strict radio silence - all satellite phones switched off to ensure Sudanese intelligence in Khartoum could not trace us.
Abdul Aziz had agreed to give Al Jazeera English his first exclusive interview since the outbreak of hostilities in this remote but strategically important and resource rich border state, which lies between the newly separate countries of North and South Sudan. And despite the difficulties he was as good as his word.
Once a respected commander in the Sudan People's Liberation Army under John Garang, Abdel Aziz and his Nuban forces were central to Garang's partial victory in the long and bitter civil war with Khartoum - a partial victory which culminated in the creation of the world's newest nation, South Sudan, on July 9.
I say 'partial' because it should not be forgotten that Garang and his movement were not originally fighting for independence for the South, they were fighting to bring down the Khartoum regime and build a new united Sudan, under a new, less Arabic centred, administration.
But as Aziz quickly made clear in our historic interview, that dream of a new administration in Khartoum is still alive. It is often assumed that Abdul Aziz's fight is still tied to that of the SPLA in the South.
And in one sense it is - they are still allies - indeed they still share the same name. But now of course Abdel Aziz's SPLA exists in a different country. It is, strictly speaking, an independent rebel army based in the north and fighting the Khartoum government. And that is not an assessment Abdel Aziz rejects.
"We believe that we are part of the North," he says. "But we want a new government, we want fundamental change in Khartoum. We want a restructuring of central government so that each region, each state, is represented in the centre according to its weight. We want a new a new Sudan, built on new basis of justice, of equality, of freedom."
And he issued what amounted to little less than a call to arms to all the forces in the north which oppose the increasingly isolated regime of Omar al-Bashir in Khartoum.
"I call upon all the Sudanese people, the forces of democracy, people who are aspiring for justice to unite," he says. "We will struggle to topple this regime - to remove it and to bring a new democratic system of governance and put an end to wars and continuous hatred between the Sudanese people."
The problem, of course, is that those words could well have been spoken a decade ago by John Garang, before compromising reality intervened and the alternative goal of an independent southern Sudan became fact.
And when pushed Aziz admits that there is, in effect, a plan B: A scenario where having failed, like the SPLM under Garang, to create a new administration for a new united Sudan, he might consider falling back to the idea of secession by South Kordofan, presumably into some kind of quasi-federal relationship with the South.
But that, he is clear, is not the prime target.
"We are aspiring for unity of all the marginalised people, we are actually inviting the Blue Nile, the Dafurians and the rest to come under one umbrella and defeat Khartoum, bring a fundamental change in Khartoum."
But if that unity cannot be achieved - and even if (as they appear to be doing at the moment), the undoubtedly brave and determined Nuba fighters under his control continue to win battles against the superior forces of Khartoum's SAF - he seems to accept that ultimately this is a struggle with ramifications far beyond the borders of this beautiful and troubled state.
"There is no solution to the problem of Southern Kordofan at the state level," he says, "because the policies that produce wars and instability here are created in Khartoum. They are created by the National Congress Party. We don't think that we can have a solution to the problem of the state without changing Khartoum."

With all the heat about Rohingya, i did a search and WOW...it seems a bigger TIME BOMB is ticking away in that area of Asia and the nations of India, China, Bhutan and Myanmar will be seriously affected in due course...
To those who are interested can click below links.
"The present Assam Governor Lt Gen (Retd) Ajay Singh's statement that about 6000 illegal Bangladeshis are entering Assam daily is correct, then the fate of the north-east people are terribly at stake..."
Indian states of West Bengal and Assam, both belong to Greater Bangladesh ..."
Stop this nonsense, Bangla-India border is well fenced and there is no way such huge number of people can go there through them as these borders are the most guarded one with military-paramilitary forces. And these states are even poorer than our country, so your day dream kinda assumption are wrong. Be realistic and don't be blatant racist.
For your kind info, when Bengal was divided many of these adjacent districts were Muslim majority, but as they were divided based on old census and also on politicians pressure as the Indian Congress had more clout on its bargain for the eastern part. As Jinnah was the leader of the west he had very little knowledge bout our eastern part thus we lost many of the lands where the Muslims were numerous. So your hyped hypothesis is a bit racist. Plz be rationale and be cool headed. Other wise you will be a danger to the people and to the humanity like Hitler was and Milosevic in the making. Dont make things worse, apply commonsense and grant these poor Rohingya a chance to survive, they are there for centuries and don't be presumptuous that they are there only for 3-4 decades.
Is Muslim a race? They emulate Jews in this respect? Can't even hide your own territorial ambitions for a Greater Bangla.
You are right Chittagonians have been in northern Arakan since colonial times, two centuries give or take. Territorial ambitions accompanied by aggression marks them out as unwanted aliens unlike other immigrant communities including the Arakanese Muslims, a term they usurped. Blatant hypocrisy when you don't want them either. You just want freedom to grow like a cancer. Not bloody likely in the Arakan. Have 'em all back and good luck. http://thehimalayantimes.com/fullNews.php?headline=B%27desh+detains+128+...
