How to prepare your kids for college life
Sending your son or daughter off to college is no small task, especially if you're prone to empty nest syndrome. But look on the bright side: it'll be four of the most formative years of their lives. So in order to make sure that your kids get the most out of college, here's how to prepare them for the long road ahead:
- Take a deep breath. Before you start anything, don't get too far ahead of yourself. Remember that there will be a lot of ups and downs, and that no matter what it'll all work out okay. College is a place to learn, after all. Instead of stressing about your son's first roommate, or what your daughter's class schedule is, take a deep breath and think of all the college students who have been through it before, and who have succeeded. Your child will be just fine.
- You drive; they pack. Going to college means a whole new world of responsibility. To make sure your kids really understand that, have them take ownership of their lives before they step foot on their college campuses. For instance, make them largely responsible for the moving process. Have them figure out what stuff they'll need and how to fit it all in a suitcase (or the car, for that matter).
- Show them the lay of the land. You've been around the block a couple of times, so to help make sure your kids don't make any unnecessary mistakes, show them how to read a public transportation schedule, or where to shop in order to get the best deals, or how to open a bank account—you know, the basic practicalities of life that they may not know yet. In other words, let them know you're always a source of awesome knowledge.
- Expectations are okay. Definitely remind your kids that college is an investment, and that it also comes with a price tag. Therefore, in order to get the most bang for your buck, make it clear that you expect a good effort on the academic front. Of course, don't be too forceful, as college is also a place where your kids will become more and more independent. Overall, remember that setting ground rules and allowing freedom is a careful balance—figure out what works best for you and your child.
- Assurance. At the end of the day, your kids might miss home a little bit. Remind them and yourself that this is normal. It's all part of the college experience, so let those feelings come and go. Once your child is on campus, check in with them once in a while. That'll help the adjustment process, especially for families with strong bonds and long distances between them.

5 ways to nail a phone interview
If you apply for a job or internship, chances are you'll be contacted for a phone interview. Don't be fooled, as this is an important step in obtaining a job. A solid phone interview often leads to an in-person interview, which can lead to a big opportunity. Here's how to ace it:
1. Use a cheat sheet. When interviewing on the phone instead of in person, you have a major advantage: you can make a cheat sheet. Seize the opportunity to map out all of your talking points beforehand and lay them out in front of you to take the stress out of completely memorizing what you want to say. But have some flexibility. Just because you prepared for a certain question doesn't mean your interviewer will ask it, so be ready for anything.
2. Find a quiet setting. Even though speaking with someone over the phone might seem casual, it's not. Treat your phone interview like an in-person interview by avoiding distractions and finding a quiet place where there's no background noise. Furthermore, sit in the place where you do work—it's a small mental reminder that you're on a work call, not a chat.
3. Use a good phone connection. If you can, use a landline to ensure clear sound and a trusty connection. If on your cell, make sure it's completely charged, and check the quality of your service. If you can't access a landline and if you're uncomfortable using your personal phone then you can try using Skype, which has a reliable voice option if your internet is stable. There's nothing worse, after all, than getting cut off mid-conversation.
4. Remember who you're talking to. On the phone, it's sometimes easy to forget who you're not chatting with a friend. So keep an even pace, don't interrupt, and stay professional. Every interview is different, but it's wise to avoid telling jokes or using slang.
5. Practice. In the age of texting, Facebook chat, and e-mail, the art of speaking on the phone is getting tougher to master. But to do so, ask a friend or parent to pick up their phone and pretend they're a potential employer. It might seem silly, but the lessons learned are invaluable. You'll learn how to talk efficiently, how to think quickly, and how to handle pauses in conversation.

3 ways to boost your participation grade
Say you're required to take a science course, or a math course, or an English course, and none of these are your strong suits. Instead of freaking out about getting a lower grade on a paper than you're happy with, or instead of banging your head against a wall while trying to figure out why you just couldn't ace that exam despite your hours of studying, try showing your professor that you care about the class through participation. After all, most professors include participation as a substantial part of your grade for the semester. So, with that in mind, here are some helpful hints:
- Talk yourself into it. If there's any participation grade at all, then why aren't you doing your best to make sure you knock it out of the park? Participate in every class, whether you're completely sure of an answer or not. After all, it's called a "participation" grade, not a "you-have-to-get-this-question-correct-or-else" grade. Your professor won't reprimand you for showing that you're paying attention in class and attempting to get a grasp on the material. What they can do, though, is punish your GPA if you sit through their class in complete silence. So speak up.
- Practice makes perfect. If you're so afraid of public speaking that even speaking from your chair in front of all your classmates is kind of crippling, then take some baby steps. Participate in a small seminar instead of a lecture at first, then work your way up. Or, start participating in classes where you're most comfortable with the material, then move to the more challenging ones. That way, you'll get a feel for what it's like to share your opinion or an answer with others, out loud. Like any skill, participation is a muscle, so work it out.
- Ask a question. If you really can't answer a question in class, or if you are already sharing your opinion on a topic, then don't hesitate to raise your hand in order to ask a question. Often, a good question (and any question is a good question, right?) will push class discussion, and teachers love that. Plus you'll probably be asking a question one of your classmates had, anyways, so you'll be helping them out too. At any rate, you're professor will see that you care enough to think and to ask, which can only give your grade a little boost.

Best jobs to get on campus
Life in college is expensive. I mean, come on, you've got bills to pay: that takeout pizza, those school supplies, and not to mention that monstrous tuition bill that eats at your wallet like a crazed Pac-Man. With that in mind, whether you qualify for federal work-study or not, you should do your best to find a job on campus in order to make some easy cash—or at least some spending money. Not sure which job is the best? Here are some common campus employment opportunities that will leave you as happy as the check in your pocket:
- Library assistant. Whether you're posted up at the reference desk or at the circulation desk, keeping track of books and library materials, this job is kind of a breeze. Of course, the school library isn't the most hectic or stressful place around, and by virtue of what it is, it's usually always quiet. What does that mean? Not only are you on the clock for working, but you'll likely be able to get some reading for class done. Getting paid to do homework? Score.
- The dining hall. I know what you're thinking: Seriously, the dining hall? Are you crazy? I definitely don't want to work in the dining hall. True: working with food—especially leftover food—can be kind of gross. And yeah, wiping down table or cleaning dishes might not be the most glamorous job, but hey, you get to experience the customer service business, and more, you can appreciate your own dining time that much more when you can put your feet up and relax. Plus, your parents would probably like to hear that you're putting in some blood, sweat, and tears in order to earn your keep.
- Residence Assistant. Being a residence assistant (RA) might be the most lucrative job on campus, as you get paid a ton of money, and some schools even offer perks such as free parking, free board, or a free meal plan. While the duties of a residence assistant might be demanding, and while you might not want to be responsible for keeping track of and possibly disciplining your peers, the benefits are obvious: you get to organize social events and be a major leader on campus, all for money.
- Career services. If you snag the opportunity to work in career services, say, as an office assistant, then you'll get to see all the career opportunities as they come in, and you'll be surrounded by those who know how to land you a future job. Hey, getting ahead is always good, right? Especially if it comes with a paycheck.
- Art gallery. Art galleries on campus need someone to check visitors in, and that person is often a student. So why not you? Be a loyal patron of the arts as well as a student worker in one fell swoop.

Paper which aimed to test the relationship between childhood cognitive function and long-term sick leave in adult life and whether any relationship was mediated by educational attainment, adult social class or adult mental ill-health.
Data from the 1946, 1958 and 1970 British birth cohorts was used. Initial study populations included all live births in 1 week in that year.
The purpose of this review is to establish what research is available on the effect of modes of travel on children's mental health and cognitive and social development, and the potential for further research. This systematic review was published by EPPI-Centre in 2001 .Systematic reviews aim to find as much as possible of the research relevant to the particular research questions, and use explicit methods to identify what can reliably be said on the basis of these studies.

Mosaics at Sv. Pantelejmon.
Heading south from the fortress, towards the lake, you will come to an excavation area. This is where the church of Sv. Pantelejmon once stood. It was built in a trefoil form, probably during the 5th century, on top of an earlier building. Mosaics have been preserved in the central part and in the baptistery. They are now sheltered by a roof.

First Slavic University
Dating back to the X Ad this platou overlooking old town Ohrid has been place of worship and learning.
With the return of Naum and Klement (two of the Cyril and Metodius 7 disciples the writing school prospered and developed.
after the death of Cyril in Rome Naum and Klemet arrived back to Ohrid, to spend their time with their ppl. Once they settled back to the town, they set simplifying the Glagolic alphabet from 43 letters to 31 and with that the modern Cyrillic alphabet was born,and it got the name in honor of their teacher Cyril. The word of God was delivered to all Slavic tribes from the shore of lake Ohrid to the frozen tundras of Russia.
The church sitting on the today's platou is rebuild in 2005, on the foundation of the original church erected there. You can see the foundation stones and the remains of the catacombs and vestibule. The whole platou is even older, dating from early Macedonian, Roman and Greek settlement. Today you can see the traces of these cultures on Ohrid.
Notable is the early Christian basilica with the baptistery, which is on the rights side of the church.
Plaosnik Archeological Site, Ohrid
The site of Plaosnik is next to the new St Clement´s Monastery Church (2002).
Close to the new church are the ruins of the monastery school that St Clement built on the ruins of the early 5th-century basilica at Plaosnik.
The whole area is nowadays a rapidly expanding excavation site.
There are some really nice mosaics to be seen, as well as two baptisteries.
Plaosnik is part of a tour described on my Ohrid page, see link below.
Opening times (2012) from 08.00-23.00, entrance is free.

Mosaics at Plaosnik
Go up through the park towards the newly built Sveti Kliment i Pantelejmon, standing next to the remains of Ohrid's oldest church of the same name. The foundations of the 5th-century basilica with their intricate mosaics are on display in front of the new church. The foundations of a 4th-century church close by have been covered with a roof on pylons to show the original roofline.
There are more mosaics here, usually covered with sand outside the summer months to help preserve them. One of the mosaics shows a swastika symbol - an old Indo-Aryan sun symbol long before the Nazis appropriated it.
Ohrid's Acropolis?
In the 10th century St Kliment founded what is believed to be first Slavic monastery and university on the hill just below Tsar Samuil's fortress. The monastery was dedicated to the 3rd century Saint Pantelijmon but became ruined during the Ottoman period.
Reconstruction of the monastery began in 2000 (substantially completed in 2002) and during the reconstruction remains of a much earlier Christian site were uncovered dating back to the 4th to 6th centuries AD.
Further excavations have since revealed that the whole hilltop, known as Plaoshnik, was once a major religeous complex with several identified churches, baptismals and basilicae. The site is so vast that excavations, archaeological investigations and eventual further reconstructions will take many years to conclude and much of what has so far been uncovered has yet to be conclusively identified.
Local guides are available offering tours but I don't think there is, as yet, any definitive archaeolical work on which to base a full explanation of everything the site contains.

Plaosnik-St. Panteleimon
The monastery stands on a hill which is now known as Plaosnik overlooking lake Ohrid. St. Clement built his monastery on a restored church and a Roman basilica of five parts (the remains of the basilicas can still be seen outside the monastery). Sources say that St. Clement was not satisfied with the size of the church and therefore built a new one over it and assigned St Panteleimon as its patron saint. Clement personally built a crypt inside the monastery in which he was buried after his death in 916, his tomb still exists today. From15th to 17th century the monastery was ruined and turned into mosque few times. Apart from the monastery's many reconstructions during the Ottoman empire, it has recently undergone extensive reconstruction and excavation. Reconstruction started on 2000 and the physical church was fully reconstructed by 2002. Most of St. Clement's relics were returned to the church. A partially ruined bell tower was restored on the right side of the monastery and the floors of the interior of the church have been reconstructed with marble. Reconstruction was carried out by hand using materials used to build the original church in order to preserve the original spirituality of the monastery.

St. Clement built the monastery in 893 A.D. and dedicated it to St. Pantelejmon, the protector of health. During the Ottoman Empire the church was destroyed and Sultan Mohamed's Mosque built on the remains of the church, which eventually did not survive on Macedonian soil. In 2000, the construction of today's church began and was finished and consecrated on August 11, 2002.
During the construction, the tomb of St. Clement was also restored, which is the tomb that St. Clement designated for himself and where he was buried in 916 A.D. In the centre of one of the friezes there is an image of a lion, which is unique to mosaics in Macedonia.
Sveti Jovan Kaneo
This church is constructed around 1280 .
It's fresco-decorations are worth of seeing .
The location is on a clif hill above the lake.
Down , by the lake , there is a popular beach so called Kaneo , visited mostly by Ohrid

St. Clement monastery lies near the remains of an old Christian basilica and is dedicated to Clement one of two famous disciples of Cyril and Methodius whose mission was to spread the christianity and literacy among the Slavs.
Long after the death of Clement in 916 and Naum in 910, the Ohrid literary school continued to be a source of manuscripts invaluable for Slavonic studies and the history of art.Clement was believed to have had healing powers and every year , on the day of his death, on August 8th, many people visit his grave at this church.

The city flourished during late antiquity. Several Christian basilicas were built, of which the central one, the cathedral, was probably the polyconchal basilica at Imaret (Plaoshnik), built during the second half of the 5th century. The four-leaf clover-shaped basilica at Plaoshnik was a richly decorated early Christian temple, as can be seen from the preserved floor mosaics with images of the flora and fauna of the Ohrid area. Depictions of rabbits, deer, peacocks, ducks, and fishes are intertwined with different geometrical motifs. The most impressive in this basilica is the baptistery with marvelous mosaics with anthropomorphic depictions of the four rivers of paradise: Gion, Fison, Tiger and Euphrates. Beautifully incorporated are the themes of the Four Rivers of Paradise and the Fountain of Life, depicted in the baptistery and the other rooms of the churches, which was connected to the act of Baptism. The four rivers of paradise: Gion, Fison, Tiger and Euphrates are portrayed like human heads out of whose mouths springs water. Similar depictions can only be seen in Solin (Croatia) and Sicily (Italy).
St.Panteleimon Monastery in Plaoshnik : place of M
Saint Clement (Sveti Kliment) was the first Macedonian Bishop and the Founder of Macedonian Orthodox faith and knowledge. Monastery of Saint Panteleimon served also as the university where Saint Clement with the help of his spiritual brother Saint Naum, teached pupils to be well educated Christians. More than 3,500 teachers, clergy, writers, and other literary figures emerged from this Ohrid Literary School where the Slavonic alphabet was used and the Old Macedonian Slavonic language was introduced in religious services. Saint Kliment build this monastery in the period from 893 until his death in 916.Saint Clement`s monastery on Plaoshnik and his tomb served as holy place for Macedonians until the close of 14-th century when teritory of todays Republic of Macedonia fell under Ottoman rule. In 2002 monastery was rebuilded Now it looks the same as the old one, because it was build on the remaining foundations of the old one.

These are major and invasive changes to POSIX. No reasonable person would expect to be able to do things like change PID semantics or shared memory. Yes, it might solve the problem that they sought to solve. But I would be very surprised to see this meet with any large-scale deployment. It's better to work with the system than to just arbitrarily decide Unix is wrong and rewrite it.

Unlike their counterparts in taxi unions, autorickshaw unions in Mumbai have not reacted adversely to the state's resolution recommending an immediate fare hike of Rs2 for three-wheelers and Rs1 for taxis.
The Mumbai Rickshawmen's Union led by its general secretary Sharad Rao is most likely to accept the Rs2 hike with some riders in a press conference. "We will explain our position on the resolution in the conference on Thursday. Though it will mostly be positive, there will be some riders," a union member said, adding that they had no intentions of staging agitations.
Till now, no union has declared its position on the government resolution. This resolution created controversy when changes were made to the original recommendations of the Hakim Committee.
A senior transport department official said that all auto unions had taken part in the meeting on Wednesday on electronic metre calibration. "They were satisfied with the Rs2 hike and are now cooperating with us on planning out the metre recalibration issue," he said.
Sharad Rao criticised taxi unions for going on an indefinite strike despite getting an immediate hike. "They don't have the strength to carry out a city-wide agitation. We don't plan on launching any such agitations to force a Rs3 hike, as was recommended by the Hakim Committee. Our detailed position will be declared tomorrow," he said.
The union's assistant general secretary Shashank Rao attended the meeting on behalf of the union. "We gave our suggestions and recommendations on metre recalibration to transport officials. Hopefully, they will take those into account while arriving at guidelines about the issue," he said.
The proposals will guide the decisions of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Transport Authority (MMRTA) when it meets on Friday.

The DeepSouthCon (DSC) is an annual science fiction convention, which is hosted in different cities in the Southern United States. Site selection is by vote of the membership of a given DSC, for the convention to be held 2 years in the future. DSC is often, but not always, held in conjunction with an existing annual convention so the time of year varies. Many regular attendees of DeepSouthCon are also members of the Southern Fandom Confederation, but there is no direct relationship between the two organizations.[1]
DSC issues two principal awards: the Phoenix, which is awarded to a science fiction professional editor, author, or artist with connections to the South, and the Rebel, which is awarded to a like-placed fan. The Phoenix and Rebel awards are considered lifetime achievement awards for a professional or fan who has done the most for southern fandom.[2]
The most recent DeepSouthCon, JordanCon in Atlanta, Georgia, awarded the Phoenix to Robert Jordan (posthumously), and the Rebel to Regina Kirby and Mike Lee Rogers.
A Rubble award to the person who has done the most to southern fandom in the past year is also awarded at the DeepSouthCon, usually good-naturedly. The Rubble is not an officially-sponsored convention award.[3]
A complete list of past winners of the Phoenix and Rebel awards is maintained by the Southern Fandom Resource Guide
The first DeepSouthCon was held in 1963 in Huntsville, Alabama, and had a total attendance of five people. In 1965, attendance had grown to 19 people and the very first Rebel Award was presented to co-chair Al Andrews. In 1970, at the Agacon DSC in Atlanta, Georgia, the first Phoenix Award was presented to Richard C. Meredith, and the convention broke the 100 mark in attendance with 130 members.[4] The largest DeepSouthCon was ConCarolinas 2010 in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a total attendance over 1,300 people.
The recent DeepSouthCons include DSC51, held in April 2013 in conjunction with JordanCon[5] in Atlanta, Georgia, with special guests Michael Whelan and Seanan McGuire and DSC52 held as a stand-alone event named Contrails in Bristol, Virginia, in May 2014 with Guest of Honor Gordon Van Gelder and Fan Guests of Honor Pat Molloy, Grace Molloy, and Naomi Fisher. Attendance at DSC52 was reported as "60 people and 1 dog".[6]
Upcoming DeepSouthCons include DSC53 in conjunction with CONtraflow V in New Orleans, Louisiana, on October 3–4, 2015, and DSC 54 as a standalone named ABC DSC and chaired by Ron Zukowski and M. Lee "Mike" Rogers in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 14–16, 2016.[6]
Over the years, guests and award winners of the DeepSouthCon have included Sam Moskowitz, Poul Anderson, Hal Clement, Philip José Farmer, L. Sprague de Camp, Jack Williamson, R.A. Lafferty, Stephen King, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Robert Bloch, Gregory Benford, Orson Scott Card, Forrest J. Ackerman, Mercedes Lackey, Lois McMaster Bujold, Mike Resnick, Larry Elmore, Harry Turtledove, James P. Hogan, Steve Jackson, George Alec Effinger, Barbara Hambly, Vincent Di Fate, John Ringo, David Drake, Jerry Pournelle, Albin Johnson, Brad W. Foster, Selina Rosen, and dozens more.[2]

Planned Tiananmen museum in Hong Kong runs into legal challenge
Published on Apr 16, 2014 5:50 PM
HONG KONG (REUTERS) - A planned museum dedicated to the brutal crackdown on China's Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests has run into a legal challenge in Hong Kong that some say is motivated by pro-China interests ahead of the 25th anniversary of the bloodshed.
The former British colony of Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997 but remains a free-wheeling, capitalist hub whose annual candelight vigils on June 4 set it apart from mainland China where all public commemorations are banned.
Discussion of the Tiananmen Square crackdown is still taboo in China, where on June 3 and June 4, 1989, its leaders ordered troops to open fire on demonstrators and sent in tanks to crush a student-led campaign movement, killing hundreds.
But 17 years since Hong Kong was handed back to China, a bid to establish the world's first permanent museum dedicated to the crackdown in an 800-sq-ft, fifth-floor unit in a commercial tower has been opposed by the owners' committee.

About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the owner
My wife Deb and I rented Villas de Colores last April to have our wedding ceremony and party in their grounds and rented the 4 villas for our families and friends and had a fantastic experience.
It was a pleasure to deal with Laura and Maribel in all aspects of the preparations and logistics and they are definitely trustworthy, I highly recommend Villas de Colores as a destination for a relaxing vacation or event in a wonderful and safe place where the owners of the place made us feel very comfortable and all went well.
Just hope Deb and I could go back there someday with family and friends, loved Villas de Colores and I'm sure you will too.

I need a way to add a hidden field in a fieldset that holds the value of that fieldset's legend.
I'm able to get the input field added after each fieldset legend, but I can't get the value of the fieldset passed into the value of the hidden field.
Here's what I have so far:
<script type="text/javascript">
var theLegend = $('legend');
$('<input type="hidden"name="hiddenList[]" value="' + theLegend.val() + '">').insertAfter('legend');
Overall what I'm trying to achieve is get the value of the fieldset legend to pass into the database. I need the hidden fields to be within their respective fieldsets. The forms are being built with a form builder within a CMS, and I cannot "hack" the code for the form builder, so I need a way to do this with jquery/javascript, and I'm pretty much a jquery newbie...

Anything actually work for low back pain?

As for weightlifting, one reason I'm reluctant to stop is because I followed that advice about a year ago for similar problems in my neck. Two months of zero lifting or hard exercise changed nothing. (Nothing seemed to help much but time -- eventually it gradually changed from chronic soreness to chronic stiffness and I'm like "deal! I can live with this after what I was used to.")
Also, I only do body weight squats for about three minutes every 3 days, and have never done a deadlift in my life. My routine in addition to the body weight squats is basically 2 sets chins, 2 sets seated rows, 2 sets barbell press and 2 sets machine press every 72 hours, trying to use good form and using a weight that makes me fail around 7 or 8 reps.
I could be fooling myself thinking it's not contributing to the problem, but it really doesn't seem like too much, ya know?
Seeing your exercise program I am in agreement with you that it is unlikely contributing to your back pain.
But it does seem to lack a specific back strength program - I guess that is largely in part what you are looking for here.
It would seem that quite a few suggestions have been given here.
Again, looking at many of the back programs, most have more similarities than differences.
The key would seem to start with a fairly "simple" set of back exercises that would not aggravate your condition as you start to gain increased flexibility and strength of the para-spinal musclces.
Such a group would include those from the Mayo Clinic back exercise regimen:
Slide show: Back exercises in 15 minutes a day
(Actually, I assume you are doing a similar program under the direction of your physical therapist.)

Not quite as picturedThe stone in my ring was much darker and lacked the vibrancy of the pictured ring. Also had little to no sheen to it. The fit is perfect and it has a vintage quality that I appreciate, but the stone was a bit disappointing.

This tour was amazing!
Our tour guide was well informed and walked us through the remarkable construction of this world landmark. The visit to the Taj Mahal was the centerpiece of our family trip to India, and we will long remember it as an amazing illustration of this unique country's culture and history.
The driver was late by 1 hr but compensated by doing a good job. The english speaking guide Mr. Khurram was neatly dressed, spoke good english and was very professional. He showed photo spots and helped capture some moments.
Great tour! Picked me up at my hotel and dropped me off at the same. My driver was great and very friendly. The guide at the Taj got me in around all the lines and security. This tour highly recommended!
This tour was excellent. Reccomend going on a sunday due to lower traffic in Delhi. We had no traffic issues along the way. Stay hydrated! The Taj is beautiful but the inside portion is very hot and crowded. Be on your toes for pick pockets inside the Taj. No need to get one of the many photographers to follow you. You can take plenty of pics yourself and your guide can snap photos too. At Fort, be sure and look up. There are monkees, bats, and parrots to be seen in addition to the wonderful fort. Make sure the guide tells you the history of the Black Taj Mahal. It's almost as fascinating as the Taj itself.
i highly recommended this tour especially if you first time in india and wanna see taj mahal, ask for raza he is the driver came to my hotel and drop me off after, he so nice guy, know all areas around Dlhi and agra especially for shopping and he do speak english/ hindi and arabic as well very well
The way there and back from Dehli is really dangerous and long (took us aprox 6 hours each since we believe that the driver avoided the expresway) but the tour itself was perfect and the tour guide was excelent (giving a lot of extra information, helped us avoid all ques, took us to safe shops with very reasonable prices when we wanted, saved some stuff that security wanted to took from us at the Taj Mahal gate at his friends shop, etc...a really friendly behavior.
We (me and my colleague) would definitively recommend this company. Thank you guys!
We had the best driver from Delhi to Agra managing that crazy traffic. He was at our hotel about ten minutes early. Our driver was Prahalad. Our tour guide in Agra was fantastic as well- the creator of Beautiful World. Our driver even set up a day of sightseeing in Dehli for the following day. Do it
Stepahine G
The trip to Agra was something I was so looking forward to doing. It was wonderful. The guide from New Delhi as well as the guide we met in Agra were both wonderful. The Agra guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to impart interesting information at both Red Fort and the Taj Mahal. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Christine C
Great day that has so much to offer. The Taj Mahal and Red Fort are awesome, but there is so much more, just the drive from Delhi is great in itself.

Taj Mahal and Red Fort are definitely worth loooking at. The trip was perfectly organized as always, touch wood, by Viator.
Robert M
This is a trip of a lifetime! We had a wonderful day in Agra and Taj Mahal. This is our third Viator tour two in Thailand at a different visit, and this one and we have not been dissapointed at any of them. This particular trip is a long day, as we left around 7 am and returned about 10 pm to our hotel, but it was worth it. The guide in the car was average, but the guide that was contracted to give the tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort was very good and served both as guide and photographer. Our family of five was the totatily of the group, so this was a very personalized trip and the late return was really because we chose to take it very leasurely. For anyone visitng New Delhi, this is a must.
Tori B
It was a full, rich day from Delhi to Agre. A private car, driver and guide leader drove us to the Taj Mahal and Red Fort providing us with a weath of information along the way. Once we arrived at the famous sights, another guide from the local area took over. He was very knowledgable and passionate about the hstory and architecture of the Taj Mahal. We were taken to a wonderfully tasty and very affordable restaurant for lunch. Aside from the brutal July heat and humidity, it was a great and truly memorable day. One should not go to Dehli without seeing he Taj Mahal, and this is definetly the way to see it! Many thanks Viator!
Madan J
Overall very satisfied with this 1 day trip. We the family members of 3 have been provided a very comfortable 4-wheel drive vehicle fitted with individual single seating space. Though the journey time from Delhi -Agra-Delhi was bit hectic but our guide-cum Escort from Delhi kept us occupied with local information and stories. On arrival to Agra we were provided a local guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable, took us to Tajmahal and Agra Red Fort. Though it was very wintery time with fog and mist but by the time we arrived Tajmahal, sun appeared and we were delighted to have magnificent view of one of wonders of world! We were then taken to very authentic Indian restaurant for lunch followed by marble souvenir shopping. Next destination of Agra Fort was equally fabulous. Really got impressed to see huge red forts with many historical landmarks inside. Thanks viator and your Delhi based tour company for making our trip memorable!
This tour was one of the highlights of our visit to India. Our guide, Imran Khan, was quite knowledgeable and informative about the history and everything surrounding the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort. We really enjoyed his service.
Great trip and good organization. Helpful driver and guide. Restaurant selection was perfect as well. I prefer this trips organized by other companies!
Amazing experience, but be prepared for a very long day with traffic, etc. Our driver was excellent, including making it though several nasty traffic jams. The tour guide was very knowledgable and took care to get us into the shade when he wanted to explain some of the aspects of the site. The restaurant for lunch was very clean and had excellent food.
I spent 7.5 hrs in the car getting from Delhi to Agra and back, buts that Indai! The driver was good and the tour guide we picked up in Agra was teriffic and very passionate. The meal was great and both the Red Fort and Taj Mahal were spectacular. Throughtly recommend the tour!
Great trip. Worth doing if you want a more structured/organised itinerary. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and knew intricate details about the 2 monuments.
Please note, it is a 5hr car ride each way from New Delhi. No scheduled refreshment stops along the way, so if you need, you will have to ask. The driver didn't speak much english, so good idea to get the hotel staff translate what you want before leaving. Don't expect much from the transport car, it is only an old simple bomb, but I guess it's all part of the experience! The tour guide will meet you in Agra.
Wear walking shoes, there is no dress sense in India and the more ill-fitting your clothes are the better.
At the Taj Mahal, get your photos taken by the local 'photographers'. Should cost about 50 - 100 rupees, and they aren't too bad. There are heaps of them, and you won't need to find them, they will find you. Remember don't pay until the end, as you are leaving they will come and find you.
Note on tips: If they don't charge you a service charge on your bill, then leave a tip of about 50-100 rupees. Otherwise, the service charge is about 3-5%. However, we tipped the guide about 500 rupees.
Note on Hawkers: There will be many hawkers attempting to either sell you stuff or beg. Trick seems to be not to give them any attention (no looking at them, never talk to them, don't say no or anything and just keep moving or doing your own thing) They will eventually leave. If you engage in any way, they will follow you everywhere, even to the loo.
Overall, great experience.
One of the best tours we had so far. Our guide, Mr. Mehran Uddin, was very knowledgable and attentive to our needs.
I thoroughly enjoyed the day. The driver was 10 minutes early for the pickup which was very reassuring and kept me informed along the way, ie how to deal with hawkers, where we would meet the guide, how long the ride would take and also a bit of general knowledge on New Dehli. My tour guide, Mehran Uddin was very informative, made the day relaxed and easy and held interesting conversations. As a solo femal travellor I felt safe and looked after and the whole experience from booking the tour through to being dropped back at the hotel was so smooth and easy I don't think it could have gone any better. I would suggest taking some snacks for the trip, the driver does stop on the way and there is time for lunch, but I found with the humidity in Agra I got very hungry and weary quickly. Overall, a very enjoyable day.
Had a great day visiting the Taj and Agra Fort. It was a interesting 5 hr drive up to Agra, but my driver did a great job in all the traffic. My guide around Agra was excellant and shared his knowledge with me. Thank you and I would use your company again.
It was a really amazing tour! My guide was very knowledgeable and always explained the reason of architectonic features. This is much more interesting than just listening to historic facts as it is often the case in similar tours. He knows great photo spots and is not tired to try again and again until you have that perfect photo.
The only downside was the visit to an art store at the end of the tour. Even tough I pointed out several times to the shopkeeper that I am not interested in buying anything, he gave me a guilty feeling and my guide didn't help me to get out of there.
Altogether I can recommend the tour and would book it again.
The drive to the Taj took five hours and the return was six hours long. Be prepared for a really long day! Otherwise, the driver was very courteous and professional and the tour guide in Agra was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Wonderful local agent intrepid journeys great tour guide FAB so knowledgeable loved every minute of this trip

As we have written previously, the enactment of Georgia's Restrictive Covenant Act has been stained with uncertainty as to its effective date. While Georgia voters overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment in November of 2010 which was intended to pave the way for the Act to become effective the day after the election, glitches in the framework of the amendment caused doubt to set in as to whether the Act would be effective on January 1, 2011 – or ever.
House Bill 30 was introduced at the beginning of the legislative session in January 2011 with the goal of eliminating a constitutional challenge and making the Restrictive Covenant Act effective upon the signature of the Governor. Last Tuesday, February 22, 2011, House Bill 30 cleared its first hurdle, receiving approval from Georgia's House of Representatives by a vote of 104 to 58.

The Things Refuseniks Carried Out of the Soviet Union
On the 26th anniversary of Freedom Sunday, a photographer uses objects to look at the immigrant experience
Dec. 6 marks the 26th anniversary of Freedom Sunday, the 1987 march on Washington in support of Soviet Jewry and their right to emigrate. Many credit the rally, which gathered a quarter of a million people, with adding pressure to the Washington, D.C., summit meeting between President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev. In all, some 300,000 refugees and refuseniks came to the United States between 1987 and 1993. My photo project Nash Chemodan (Our Suitcase) focuses on the items that these immigrants took with them when leaving the Soviet Union.
Because of censorship and an unclear picture of their future, many had no idea what to take and what to leave behind. Families arrived carrying objects that they would never use again. The fact that many still hang on to these obsolete things points to a certain nostalgia, if not for a country that no longer exists, then for their friends and family from that time. In captions to the images, the anonymous owners of these objects speak of their significance.
Nash Chemodan was shot with a Kiev camera, which was manufactured in the Soviet Union and continued to be made in Ukraine after the dissolution of the USSR. This project was made possible in part through a grant by the BluePrint Fellowship project of COJECO, funded by the UJA-Federation of New York and Genesis Philanthropy Group.

From the desk of Bianca Blanchard
Everything I was raised to believe has been a lie! The photo Leo Santiago gave me of our mothers together—dated a week after my mother's death—and my father's evasions set my legal mind racing, so I hired a detective to investigate my mother's long-ago accident. Turns out she's alive! I've been so thankful for Leo, who has been incredibly supportive. He works for my father, so catering to the boss's daughter is part of his job, but the looks this handsome man gives me make me think there's more to our relationship than business.
Bianca Blanchard stood in the massive hallway of Blanchard Manor, a chill moving through her body as she handed her black velvet evening cloak to a nearby servant who'd been hired as extra help for this special evening.
Adjusting the tight-fitting bolero jacket of her navy-blue evening gown, Bianca searched the elite crowd for signs of her older sister, Miranda. She'd feel much better if she could talk to her. Bianca hadn't really wanted to come home to the quaint town of Stoneley, Maine, for their Aunt Winnie's sixtieth birthday party, but it would have been rude and downright unforgivable for her to stay away. She loved Aunt Winnie, as did all of the Blanchard sisters, but Bianca didn't enjoy parties. Especially in this house. She never had, and she probably never would. Entering a crowded room had always made her feel claustrophobic, as if she might die of suffocation. Entering the Blanchard house only added to that feeling.
In spite of the majesty and castlelike façade of the huge stone mansion sitting on the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the painful memories lurking about in the dark corridors, coupled with the sadness and sickness permeating the many rooms of the house, made it impossible for Bianca to put on a happy face and work the crowd.
To calm herself, she glanced around at the familiar things she remembered from her childhood. The sweeping walnut staircase opened wide with heavy, ornate balustrades, making Bianca want to run up those stairs and straight to the room she'd once shared with Miranda. That sunny room with the double bay windows on the second floorwould be quiet and cozy, not nearly as dark and foreboding as the capacious downstairs parlor to her right and the long dining room to her left. Even crowded with the A-list guests of Stoneley society, the house still echoed with a melancholy that caused shadows to leap out at Bianca.
Shadows filled with memories of her mother. But no one here was allowed to talk about that. Bianca steeled herself, pretending she was in the courtroom preparing for opening statements on an important case. She had no problem standing up to ferocious judges or devious white-collar criminals, but she sure had a problem trying to fit in with this high-society crowd.
Smoothing her dark brown upswept hair, she looked across the hallway, past the round mahogany table decorated with a crystal vase full of white roses and baby's breath, her gaze moving over the many faces to finally settle on one.
Leo Santiago.
Bianca smiled, her gaze holding Leo's for a minute. He nodded his head, his blue eyes flashing with the intensity she remembered so well. A smile worked at his full lips as he watched her.
"Steady," Bianca whispered to herself, remembering how from the first time she'd met him, she'd always felt an intense awareness of Leonardo Santiago. Even though their paths rarely crossed, Bianca enjoyed the challenging banter that seemed to flow between them almost like a casual flirtation--if she only knew how to really flirt. But flirting with Leo wasn't so very hard, since he was a striking man. He always dressed impeccably, born executive that he was. And with thick sandy-brown hair and electric blue eyes, he could easily pass for a leading man in a romantic movie.
Maybe Leo could help her out tonight. She'd learned in high school speech class that a speaker should find one kind soul in the audience and make eye contact often with that person. That method had worked for Bianca with stoic jurors. Maybe it would also help her through an awkward social event. Especially since Leo didn't seem to have a problem making eye contact.
Dropping her gaze, Bianca could feel a slight blush moving up her neck. It made sense that her father's right-hand man at Blanchard Fabrics would be invited to her aunt's birthday party. Ronald Blanchard expected complete loyalty from his employees, and that certainly included ordering them to show up and make nice with some of the richest citizens of Stoneley.
She knew Leo's history with the town's famous textile and fabric mill. He'd worked his way up, laboring throughout high school and college, from factory worker to second in command. He was now a valuable assistant to her father. Leo's youth and business smarts had brought the company into the twenty-first century with innovative ideas in both synthetic fabrics and environmentally conscious technology, without compromising the integrity or reputation of Blanchard Fabrics.
Well, more power to him, Bianca thought as she finally spotted her sisters Miranda and Juliet coming toward her. Putting thoughts of Leo out of her mind, Bianca hugged Miranda close. "Hello."
"How are you?" Miranda, clad in a long-sleeved burgundy velvet dress, hugged Bianca close.
"More important, how are you?" Bianca asked back, concern for her older sister foremost in her mind.
Miranda suffered from anxiety attacks each time she left the mansion. She was a gentle, caring person, with a love of poetry, spending most of her time creating beautiful handmade chapbooks. Bianca wished Miranda could find a way to overcome her agoraphobia, so she could get out of this depressing house more often.
"I'm doing okay," Miranda replied. "No panic attacks so far tonight. And no disasters, party-wise, either."
"I'm here to give her moral support," Juliet told Bianca as she held Bianca's hand in hers and kissed Bianca on the cheek. "We all know Father isn't very good at that sort of thing."
Bianca didn't want to get caught up in their father's lack of affection for his six daughters. Not tonight, anyway. This was Aunt Winnie's special night.
"Well, I'm here to give my support," she said,
"and I'm so glad to see both of you," Giving Juliet the once-over, she grinned. "I see you're being your usual rebellious self. A bit dressed down tonight, aren't you?"
Juliet made a face. "Hey, I'm glittery."
"You sure are, because you are such a jewel." The sisters both groaned while Bianca admired Juliet's outfit. Her tunic was a sequined and sparkling white-gold, making her long, platinum hair shimmer even more, but her jeans were vintage and defiant. Juliet had her own version of formal attire, probably because one day she hoped to have her own brand of fashion designs. Bianca's youngest sister was attending fashion design school in Vermont, but planned to come home after graduation to work for Blanchard Fabrics.
"Come on in to the party," Miranda said, tugging at Bianca's hand. "Aunt Winnie has been asking about you."
They strolled toward the parlor where Winnie Blanchard sat by the roaring fire. The dark-paneled room looked festive and warm in spite of the cold, snowy January night. The family portrait hanging over the cavernous stone fireplace showed a smiling Howard Blanchard with his two grown children, Ronald and Winnie, the six young Blanchard girls, dressed in velvet and bows, sitting at their feet. To the casual observer, that portrait represented a large, loving family.
To Bianca, the absence of her mother from the picture represented a vast emptiness that flowed in its own unexplainable way through each of the Blanchard sisters.
As she stared up at the portrait, Bianca could clearly see what wasn't so obvious to the outside world. Howard Blanchard held power over his children, even now when he was frail and ailing. The fact that both Ronald and Winnie--one a widower and the other a self-proclaimed spinster--were still living under their father's roof, indicated that something wasn't quite right in Blanchard Manor.
Bianca's inquisitive mind had always wanted to find out what that something was, but she was so afraid of the answers she preferred instead to bury herself in work and stay away as much as possible.
Outside, the wind howled as a snowstorm moved over the area. Bianca could hear the rapping of a tree branch against the tall windows of the parlor. "Where is everyone else?" she asked Miranda, to stifle the chill going down her spine.
"Delia is with Aunt Winnie, trying to convince her to come to Hawaii for a summer vacation, last I heard," Miranda said, smiling over toward their younger sister and their aunt, both of whom now were so involved in a discussion with the brand-new, much talked-about Reverend Gregory Brown of Unity Christian Church, that they hadn't noticed Bianca's arrival. "And probably arguing religious philosophy with the new pastor, too."
Bianca watched as an animated Delia brushed a hand through her short, dark gamine bangs. "She looks happy," she said, glad to see the glow on her surfer sister's face.
Juliet held her arm tightly. "Portia and Rissa are in the kitchen, supervising the caterers, while Sonya tries to supervise both of them."
"Sonya Garcia must be as old as this house," Bianca said, smiling at the thought of the hot-tempered, scowling housekeeper still reigning over the entire staff. "She's been around forever, hasn't she?"
"Seems like," Juliet said, grinning. "Both she and the nurse, Peg, pretty much rule the roost around here. But the twins have such a New York attitude, Portia and Rissa love to go at it with both of them, just for fun."
Miranda gave them a mock-stern look, her schoolmarm persona coming through. "Be nice, girls. Sonya is very loyal to Grandfather, even if she does act as if she hates all of us. And Peg, well, she is so devoted to him, the rest of us have a hard time even getting into his room to visit him."
"Women are always loyal to the Blanchard men," Bianca pointed out, the bitterness in her words giving her an edgy tone as she thought about her once-robust grandfather now bedridden with Alzheimer's. Changing the bitterness into a prayer of hope, she asked, "How is Grandfather doing?"
"Not so well," Miranda said. "He rarely knows any of us anymore. Sometimes he says the oddest things. It's all part of the disease, but it's hard to watch." She gave Bianca a sympathetic look. "So don't expect much if you can get past Peg to visit him."
"I've never been one to expect too much from our father or our grandfather," Bianca said, then instantly wished she'd stayed quiet.
Howard Blanchard was old and ill. She supposed she should show him some respect. But anger and regret colored any heartfelt feelings she might have conjured up for the grandfather who'd taken them all in here at Blanchard Manor after her mother's tragic death nearly twenty-three years ago. Their grandfather's generosity had come with certain stipulations and expectations. Bianca still had trouble trying to figure out what exactly the six Blanchard sisters had done to make their father and grandfather become so cold and cruel.
Fatal Image is a romantic suspense novel and book one of The Secrets of Stoneley. Six sisters face murder, mayhem and mystery while unraveling the past. Fatal Image is Bianca's story. There is a lot of action and adventure although you may not get all the closer you were hoping for without reading the other books.

Bears quarterback has Tri-State baseball ties | GOOD MORNING COLUMN
For Jasper sports junkies, it's always a kick when Jasper Reds historian Tom Alles throws out another piece of trivia about his beloved team.
And there's plenty of history he's salted away. The Jasper Reds, in existence since 1893, are the longest-running semipro baseball team in Southern Indiana.
The latest tidbit from Alles: Jay Cutler is the second Chicago Bears quarterback to have played for the Jasper Reds. Cutler is a native of Santa Claus, Ind., and a graduate of Heritage Hills High School in Lincoln City, Ind. So he's connected to all sorts of history, not the least of which is Sunday's NFL playoff showdown between the Bears and the Green Bay Packers, maybe the most crucial game ever between those two storied rivals.
But back to baseball. Cutler traveled to Jasper in July 2001 to watch fellow Heritage Hills graduate Symon Jochim pitch for the Reds in the first game of a doubleheader against the Tell City Grays. Jasper had only 10 players, so Jochim offered Cutler's services to Reds manager Bill Alles. Cutler came out of the stands and into the starting lineup and came through big time, belting a two-run homer as the Reds swept Tell City.
The other Bears quarterback to play for the Jasper Reds was Tim Clifford, on June 9, 1979. Later that fall, as Indiana University's quarterback, Clifford would be named the Big 10 MVP. That's quite a rare piece of history for IU in itself. But back to baseball.
The Reds were playing the Bloomington Collegians at IU's Sembower Field. Playing for the Reds were Jeff "Gus" Rohleder and Tom Alles, who were IU baseball teammates of Clifford earlier that spring. Rohleder persuaded Clifford to pitch for Jasper. He, too, came through big time, hurling an 11-inning complete game and banging out three hits in a wild 8-7 Jasper victory.
Alles said, ironically, the starting catcher for Bloomington that day was a guy named Jeff Cutler. Only Alles could dig up something like that.

Sandusky was arrested Saturday and charged with molesting eight boys over 15 years, all of whom he met through his charitable organization, The Second Mile, a group home and outreach program for troubled boys.
The charges stem from a March 2002, incident in which graduate assistant coach Mike McQueary allegedly saw Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in a locker room shower in the Penn State football department. McQueary told Paterno what he saw, and Paterno in turn told Curley and Shultz. None of the men reported the incident to police.
The Pennsylvania attorney general said Monday that Curley and Shultz were legally required to alert police to the incident, while Paterno was only legally obligated to tell his superiors. But Paterno has come under fire for failing what police called a "moral obligation" to alert them to the crimes.
Pressure has also increased on Spanier because Curley and Shultz reported to Spanier that there had been an inappropriate incident with Sandusky and a child in the locker room showers, and that they had taken away Sandusky's privilege of bringing children onto campus. Spanier approved the decision and never reported the Sandusky incident to police.
Sandusky allegedly molested some of the children that he brought to the Penn State campus to meet the team members and work out at the facilities. He also brought them along on trips to away games and plied them with gifts, according to the presentment.
Two earlier sexual assaults on campus had been brought to the attention of employees and administrators, neither of which were reported to the police, according to the attorney general. In 1998 two boys reportedly came forward to say Sandusky had fondled them in the team's showers. Campus police had eavesdropped on a conversation between Sandusky and one boy's mother. That mother recently described the exchange to local reporter Sara Ganim with the Patriot News.
"He admitted to taking the shower, he admitted to some extent something bad happened," the woman, who was not identified, said. "He asked her for forgiveness. He said 'I probably won't get it from you,' and then he said 'I wish I were dead.'"
The mother said that she was proud of her son, who had the courage stand up to one of the giants of college football, according to Ganim. The boy's allegation led to the three-year grand jury investigation that resulted in sexual assault charges.
Sandusky was a coach and defensive coordinator for the team for 23 years before retiring in 1999. After his retirement, he continued to have unlimited access to the football department and campus, and continued to run football camps for boys at Penn State's campuses.

This very unusual Chinese restaurant is implanted in a gambling casino run by a Malaysian corporation at a broken-down racetrack, but manages to turn out some of the city's best dim sum between the hours of 11am to 3pm every day. All the usual varieties are available, plus a few you might not have seen before, and you can eat as the ponies run past the picture windows, season permitting. At dinner, the place gears up for the sort of high-end Cantonese rarely seen in the city, with bird's nest soup, simple abalone preparations, and shark's fin dishes leading the way—all of questionable sustainability—plus market-price seafood pulled from pristine tanks. The lower end of the expensive menu is where to focus, including marinated pork knuckles with liquor, crab e-fu noodles, and short ribs with crushed garlic.

Finally, safety issues emerged as an important but neglected aspect of laboratory experiences. Greater attention to safety issues in research, policy, and practice is warranted.
Moving toward improvement of laboratory experiences for the 21st century is constrained by weaknesses in definitions and research. Historically, researchers studying laboratory experiences have not agreed on a precise definition of "laboratory." Even today, educators, policy makers, and researchers have differing views of the role and goals of high school laboratory experiences. This fragmentation in research, policy, and practice has slowed research, development, and demonstration of improved laboratory experiences.
Researchers and educators do not agree on how to define high school science laboratories or on their purposes, hampering the accumulation of evidence that might guide improvement in laboratory education. Gaps in the research and in capturing the knowledge of expert science teachers make it difficult to reach precise conclusions on the best approaches to laboratory teaching and learning.
The need to more carefully define the role and goals of high school science laboratories and measure progress toward attainment of those goals is given greater urgency in view of the multiple pressures placed on schools and districts to increase the performance of a diverse student body. The challenge of meeting the needs of students in cost-effective ways places great pressure on schools to reevaluate the apparently more expensive features of education, such as high school science laboratories.
Although more recent research has illuminated the design principles to guide improvement in laboratory teaching and learning, studies of the possibilities and challenges associated with scaling up promising approaches are in the early stages. In addition, mechanisms for sharing the results of the research that is available—both within the research community and with the larger education community—are so weak that progress toward more effective laboratory learning experiences is impeded.
The committee envisions a future in which the role and value of high school science laboratory experiences are more completely understood. The state of the research knowledge base on laboratory experience is dismal but, even so, suggests that the laboratory experiences of most high school students are equally dismal. Improvements in current laboratory experiences

KOCHI: Residents of Pachalam division blocked vehicular traffic at Pachalam junction demanding that the movement of tipper lorries and containers through the area be restricted. It was a road accident involving a trailer at SRM road junction that led to the protest.
The residents of the area demanded that policemen should be deployed at the junctions at SRM road, Pachalam and Kattunkal for controlling vehicular traffic.
The roads in the area have been damaged following the movement of these vehicles carrying huge quantities of construction materials.

The war of words over the installation of average -speed cameras on the main route to the Highlands has been stepped up amid claims that lorry drivers might renew their threat of driving in a convoy as a "rolling roadblock."
The warning was originally issued last year in a campaign by hauliers and drivers to persuade the Scottish Government to raise the speed limit for heavy lorries from 40mph to 50mph on single carriageways on the A9. They had said they could work with average-speed cameras if the limit was raised.
When ministers agreed to a three year trial with the higher speed limit, lorry drivers called off their action. But there are reports that delays of around 20 minutes in traffic caused by installation of the cameras, have led to drivers considering resurrecting the threat.
The Inverness lorry driver Conor McKenna, who led last year's campaign, said his colleagues were reporting an increase in dangerous manoeuvres because of the delays, with motorists slamming on their brakes when they see the cameras even although they are not yet operating.
He reportedly said: "People don't understand the cameras." And added: "We are looking at a go-slow but I need to speak to more drivers about what is happening."
But Dave Thompson Skye, SNP MSP Lochaber and Badenoch said a convoy protest would be "utterly irresponsible."
He said "The lorry drivers had campaigned for a raising of the speed limit and the government listened. The higher limit will now come into operation in the autumn."
