Amy sent this open letter written by a woman to her father, who had posted anti-vaccination information on his Facebook account, thus — according to the writer — contributing to an anti-science mentality that very much affects reseachers' ability to move forward.
From Tara C. Smith, an epidemiologist:
Know the results of this vaccine backlash? Research dollars are diverted away from real causes of autism and other conditions. And kids are dying. Just in the U.S., there have been more than 1000 vaccine-preventable deaths in the last 6 years, and over 100,000 vaccine-preventable illnesses. Freaking whooping cough has made a huge comeback in the U.S. A big reason for the resurgence of these diseases is because anti-vaccine myths and scares spread so easily between acquaintances–in person, and on social media; scares that you're now perpetuating with your own posts. Sure, it's a free country and you have every right to share these pictures and memes, but have you thought about the possible harm it might do to others when you click "share"?
I haven't paid close attention to the anti-vaccination crowd, and Smith's discussion of diverting research dollars away from important work — based on a groundswell of information carried by social media sites — makes me go "Hmmmm."

our Sunday, November 14,
2004 meeting and mart. Our 50 mart tables
were almost full of sellers, but our 9 silent auction tables
were full. With Christmas that close , the occupancy of the mart tables
was disappointing, although sales were good.

meeting , including election of Directors
and minor changes to
the Chapter's By-Laws.
Elected Directors were; Larry Muzinich, Robert Moore, John Stohr, Don
Day, Scott Seamans, and Richard Davis. 2005
Officers will be elected by the Directors. Treasurer Don Day
reported the Chapter is very solvent.
Our program
for the day was " Basic

local repair seem to be a
dying profession and those still around were fully booked, however
repairs were still available on the East Coast. Don
presented slides on both cylinder and disk players, and
basic repairs on each type.
As most present at the presentation were clock and watch types, we all
enjoyed something that was new to us.

Scott Brown announced his support for repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell today, consistent with the position of the broader military.
"I pledged to keep an open mind about the present policy on Don't Ask Don't Tell. Having reviewed the Pentagon report, having spoken to active and retired military service members, and having discussed the matter privately with Defense Secretary Gates and others, I accept the findings of the report and support repeal based on the Secretary's recommendations that repeal will be implemented only when the battle effectiveness of the forces is assured and proper preparations have been completed."
Bob Gates successfully convinced Brown on the implementation process, which should concern people a bit, especially as Gates might not be around to do the implementation. Gates did say that he would not "slow-walk" things, but what about his successor? What if a President Palin reaches office without implementation in place, and she just never certifies it? I don't know if that's likely, but it's something to watch.
On the matter at hand, it seems like there are now two sure Republican votes for repeal: Brown and Susan Collins. Joe Lieberman said Richard Lugar was a Yes vote for repeal a couple weeks ago. So that means that, if Democrats all vote for repeal, even with the loss of fundie Mark Pryor you'd have 60 votes. In addition, Lisa Murkowski and John Ensign have indicated potential support, with Olympia Snowe, George Voinovich and George LeMieux as possibles.
However, getting all the Democrats but Pryor on board is unclear. Jim Webb seemed to drift closer to support in the hearings. Ben Nelson switched his vote to support months ago, and he was stalwart in the hearings, but he has also said that the Senate shouldn't move forward on anything but taxes and spending and jobs. One of the newest Senators, and the newest member of the Armed Services Committee, Joe Manchin, seemed very focused on chaplains leaving the military as a result of any policy shift. Previously, Manchin said he wanted the report before he would agree to support repeal, but now it's here and it makes a pretty definitive case. Blanche Lincoln voted against cloture last time on the defense authorization bill, but she's a lame duck now. She's publicly uncommitted.
I think the votes are possibly there, but it's a matter of whether the Republicans will demand some kind of long time frame in exchange for their vote, which could put the whole thing out of reach.

Safe Surrender an option for overwhelmed mothers
RALEIGH: In light of the recent deaths of abandoned infants in Duplin and Nash counties, the state Department of Health and Human Services is reminding the public—and especially mothers who might be overwhelmed—that North Carolina's Safe Surrender law is an option to keep babies safe.
In 2001, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law making it legal for a woman to surrender a newborn to a responsible adult without fear of criminal prosecution. This was designed to help prevent a postpartum woman who is distraught from endangering her baby.
A hospital worker, a social worker, a law enforcement officer or emergency medical worker are all examples of responsible adults who are familiar with the law and would be appropriate. However, as the law is written, any responsible adult can receive a newborn under the age of seven days. They then must protect the infant and immediately notify law enforcement or their county social services department.
" Every year there are situations where babies are placed at risk because a frightened and overwhelmed woman, usually a young woman, tries to hide her newborn baby," said Sherry Bradsher, director of the N.C. Division of Social Services. "If she gives birth and panics, she need only find a responsible adult to take her child. However, it is essential that the baby be turned over to a responsible adult. It's the person-to-person contact that is the key.
" A child's safety cannot always be guaranteed leaving it in what most people would consider to be a safe place, such as at a church, because there may not be a staff person or employee present," Bradsher continued. "Before the birth, however, county departments of social services and private adoption agencies can help a woman prepare for the birth and arrange for a safe adoption."

Vlasic Reduced Sodium Kosher Dill Pickles
A few months ago I noticed ads and coupons for Vlasic Reduced Sodium pickles. I was rather amazed that a big-name food manufacturer would actually jump on the low sodium bandwagon, so I started looking for the pickles in my local supermarkets. It took a while, but I was finally able to find them last week. I was hoping to find a replacement for the discontinued salt-free B&G and Healthy Heart Market dill pickles. My husband prefers having a whole pickle or spear on the side rather than slices in a sandwich. Vlasic covers both bases: it has lower sodium sandwich sized pickles called "Stackers" and also traditional dill pickles spears. I grabbed a couple of jars of the spears and brought them home to try.
Both my local Raley's and Safeway stores carry the reduced sodium pickles, so there's a good chance they are widely available.
As mentioned before, you have a choice of sliced sandwich pickles or spears.
They really are lower in sodium than the regular Vlasic offerings: The package claim is that both products are 25% lower in sodium than their full sodium counterparts. The regular "Stackers" and regular spears contain 210 mgs sodium per serving size, but the lower sodium versions are 150 mgs per serving size.
The pickles taste good, just as you'd expect a dill pickle to taste. The reduced sodium has no negative impact. (Of course that's to be expected when it's only reduced 25%.)The texture is good too, crispy and not mushy.
Unfortunately, losing only 25% of sodium content isn't very helpful for those who must faithfully monitor their sodium intake. It's probably fine for those without serious health issues – those just trying to cut back a bit. But for anyone whose health depends on a lower sodium regimen, these pickles may not be a good option. Perhaps a "Stacker" on a sandwich every once in a while, but that'd be about it.
The nutritional label for the spears is particularly deceptive. I checked out the label at the store but not thoroughly enough. The spears have 150 mgs per serving – that part is true. What I didn't notice until I got the jar home is that a serving size is 2/3 of a spear. Yes, you read that correctly: 2/3 of a spear! Who eats 2/3 of a pickle spear? And who logically assumes that a single spear is not equal to a single serving size? Does Vlasic really expect consumers to cut a third off each pickle spear? Or to calculate the correct number of milligrams before eating a spear?
The reality is that an entire spear contains 225 mgs sodium. So what? Well, anyone carefully monitoring their sodium intake might allow an occasional 150 mgs pickle treat every once in a while. But 225 mgs is another story altogether. That would probably require some careful thought and planning to adjust the rest of the day's intake.
Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed to discover the true sodium content of the pickle spears and very displeased with the deceptive serving size information. This incident reaffirms the importance of vigilantly reading nutritional labels.
There are three important pieces of information to study carefully: the serving size, the number of servings per container, and the amount of sodium per serving. Be sure you understand what the manufacturer considers a serving and how many servings are supposedly in a package. Do NOT let the serving size information fool you. The 2/3 of a pickle spear serving is an example of a totally unrealistic serving size. A can of heat & eat soup may state that a serving size is 1/2 cup. That sounds fairly reasonable at first. You think to yourself, "One can of soup will serve two people." Later you realize that there were supposedly three servings per can and you inadvertently consumed more sodium than expected. Also, do NOT let the percentages fool you. They are based on a 2,400 mg per day diet. Most people on a low sodium diet must stay within a range of 1,500 mgs to 2,000 mgs per day. So the posted percentages are deceptive and may not be relevant to your situation at all.

So true! Reducing sodium by 25% & then altering the serving size is just another way manufacturers try to do a "head fake" on the consumer. I wish they'd just quietly reduce the sodium 25% across the board for ALL their products. I doubt anyone would even notice. Then, they could reduce it even more (another 25%?) & slap a big label of "50% less" on it. Now, THAT would be something!

Voce, I couldn't agree with you more. I think all food manufacturers could easily reduce sodium content by 25% without anyone noticing at all. But the idea of 2/3 of a pickle spear being a serving just really offended me. I remember trying one of the organic dry soup cups. I checked out the calories & sodium content and was pretty pleased... until I got home and realized that the soup cup supposedly had two servings. Who would have thought that a single soup cup would have two servings! That same deception!

What Glenn Beck Told Liberty Graduates
Fox News commentator Glenn Beck received an honorary doctor of humanities degree from Liberty University yesterday before giving the commencement address to 8,650 students–the school's largest graduating class ever.
Beck, who attended one semester of college because he could not afford to finish, gave a faith-filled message, according to a recap on the school's website.
Beck, who is Mormon, said speaking at Liberty is "an endorsement of your faith. This is a time when we all need to come together. We may have differences, but we need to find those things that unite us."
... Beck urged graduates not to underestimate the power of the atonement. When he was 13, his mother took her life. He said he nearly followed in her footsteps.
"As a man who needed the atonement … I read the promise. He will carry your burdens. I made Him a promise. You keep your word and I will keep mine," he said. "He will never break his promise, and now it's all up to me. [The atonement] is the most powerful thing you will ever encounter."
The original story on Liberty's website did not note that Beck is a Mormon; however, Falwell noted in a statement that speakers have represented a diversity of religious beliefs.
"The baccalaureate ceremony always includes a gospel message brought by someone who is in complete theological alignment with the university," Falwell said. "Commencement, however, has always featured leaders from all walks of life and all faiths who share the university's social values and traditional family values. Commencement speakers have included representatives from the following faiths: Roman Catholicism, Judaism, mainline Protestant denominations such as the Episcopal Church, and even some speakers with no religious affiliation at all."
Paige Patterson, the president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, gave the keynote address at the Baccalaureate Service on Friday. Yesterday, Beck read from his journal he originally wrote for his daughter.
"Your father loves you and so does your heavenly Father. … As long as we have today, we can change the world. … Marry for love, marry for laughs, but mostly importantly as my wife Tania taught me, marry for God. Without God, life's storms are too strong to withstand. … Life is hard, and then it gets harder. Then you die. But every second of life is worth it. … Always forgive, but don't forget so much that you put yourself in the same situation. … Freedom and rights are given to man by God, they are his, we are the guardians. … Read the Scriptures every day — they are alive. He speaks to you through them."

Clayton schools open doors for new year
'It's been a thing of beauty all day'
Clayton County's 52,000 public-school students may be anticipating a new Common Core curriculum and a controversial shortened school day once a week. But to look at the smiling faces, the brightly colored uniforms, the teachers answering questions and the lines of school buses snaked through the parking lot, you'd never know anything had changed.

With a desire to provide her daughter and other children with a quality education, longtime educator Anetrise Jones is launching a private school this fall with an emphasis on science and technology.
The school -- Elite Scholars STEAM Academy -- will be located in Fairview Heights. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, agriculture/arts and mathematics.
The academy will operate under parent company Growing Scholars, which Jones, 44, has operated for the last six years in Fairview Heights. Growing Scholars serves approximately 130 kindergarten through 12th-grade students with tutoring, after-school programs and summer camps.
The STEAM Academy will serve pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students. However, during its first year of operation, Jones said the school will just serve pre-kindergarten through third grade.
The school will have an open house for perspective students and their families from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the academy, which will be located at the same facility as Growing Scholars -- 6322 Old Collinsville Road in Fairview Heights.
"Everything will be project-based learning -- when you take a concept to a complete circle," Jones said. "Everything that's taught within our school will have an essential question that we will start with and from that essential question we will tie it to some STEAM career."
The school will still do the traditional form of teaching students reading, writing and English, she said, but everything beyond that will be hands-on learning.
Jones' 7-year-old daughter will attend the STEAM Academy this fall, which will operate under the non-profit organization Elite Scholars. Jones and her husband, Jeffrey, also have a 17-year-old son who attends a private school in Missouri.
"My daughter is very bright. She loves to learn. She likes to do more than reading, writing and math all day. She does enjoy science classes and art and really getting into drama and theater," Jones said. "Instead of traveling to Missouri to take her to a school that will meet her needs, we decided maybe it was time to open our school so we can put all of our resources into our own community."
She encouraged parents of "very bright, active, inquisitive, creative" children to consider the STEAM Academy. Jones said students must be able to work at a fast pace and at a high level as the curriculum is taught at one grade level above. The admission process at the STEAM Academy includes a readiness assessment test.
Jones estimated the student-to-teacher ratio will be 12 to 1. The first day of school at the STEAM Academy is slated to be Aug. 19 with the school day running from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuition is $6,500 per student annually, and a hot lunch for students will be catered in at a cost to be determined.
Jones said extended education will be offered from 3-4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, which will include agriculture activities, financial literacy, drama and dance.
The academy will not have traditional physical education, art or music classes, but will offer those disciplines in unique ways. A professional musician will provide music lessons to students including violin, guitar and piano, and a professional artist will teach students about art, Jones said.
Parents on board
Parent Brianne LeRoy's 5-year-old daughter, Samantha, will be attending kindergarten this fall at the STEAM Academy.
"I was really looking for a private school that will offer her the opportunity to think outside the box," said Brianne LeRoy, of Belleville.
While on maternity leave, LeRoy researched and visited private and parochial schools throughout the metro-east.
"A lot of them weren't offering the innovative piece," she said. Samantha enjoys hands-on activities and helping her father Dorian LeRoy, an engineer, fix things.
Brianne LeRoy was impressed with the STEAM curriculum. "It's a really good fit," she said, "and definitely where our society is going."
Samantha is currently in the Growing Scholars summer camp to become familiar with the school atmosphere and some of the staff members.
"I'm really excited about the school," Brianne LeRoy said. "I think it's a great addition to the community."
Parent Tia Smith of Belleville said her 4-year-old son Kole will be in the pre-kindergarten program at the STEAM Academy.
"What attracted me to Elite Scholars was the focus on STEAM. You don't find a school that particularly addresses those areas in this area," said Smith, who has three other children as well. "All of our kids are very smart, and we just didn't want our son -- the youngest -- to lack in any areas of education. We want nothing but the best for our kids and that's why we chose Elite Scholars."
Smith has seen academic progress since Kole started the summer camp at Growing Scholars last month. "I'm already seeing the growth especially in the phonics piece," Smith said.
Jones plans to apply to the state for accreditation once the STEAM Academy has been in operation for one year, per state rules.

Cook the Book: 'Every Grain of Rice'
Dandan Mein!
Dandan Mein!
Can someone help me throw one of these together? I've a friend coming over for dinner that's fanatical about this dish. I know its simple but I'm thinking proportion is everything. BTW, the version I'm speaking of has scallions, bonito flakes, seaweed, radish sprouts...I can't find it anywhere on the web!

Germany's foremost literary export in the last quarter century has undoubtedly been Bernhard Schlink's novel The Reader. Published in German as Der Vorleser (1995), it was propelled to international acclaim by the English translation of Carol Brown Janeway (1997); since then it has been translated into over 35 languages. It was an Oprah Winfrey Book Club selection (1999), which no doubt contributed to the novel's meteoric cultural ascent. The novel is a favorite in U.S. college German programs, and virtually required reading in British and German college preparatory schools. Fifteen years after its publication, The Reader continues to play a significant role in German public culture and beyond.…

Being dead is very inconvenient, but having the government believe that you're dead when you aren't is even more inconvenient. Yet the Social Security Administration accidentally declares about 9,000 people living in the United States dead every year. Yet when this happens to someone, they struggle to find help and to get anyone to believe them so they can be brought back to life financially. [More]
How The New McDonald's CEO Could Improve Restaurants Worldwide
For years now, we've referred to Taco Bell CEO Greg Creed as "curiously Australian," since it's unexpected and exotic for a Tex-Mex fast-food joint to be run by someone from the other side of the planet. Now another fast-food company has a chief executive from elsewhere in the Anglophone world: the incoming CEO of McDonald's, Steve Easterbrook, is British. [More]
5 Reasons Why People Still Buy Stuff From Companies They Hate
In an ideal world, there would be ample, healthy competition in every industry and consumers everywhere would have access to these numerous options. Additionally, every company would behave ethically and efficiently, respecting consumers and the law. But from what I've been told from people familiar with the situation, our world is slightly imperfect and sometimes we end up doing business with companies we'd rather avoid. [More]

Did you sneer at the mysterious AOL breach that has compromised some customers' information because you don't use AOL e-mail anymore? Yeah, about that.

Don't Like 24/7 Billy Joel? SiriusXM Can Just Suspend Your Service
Late last month, SiriusXM took '40s on 4, its earliest decade-themed station, off the air and replaced it with a three-month temporary station that plays only the music of Billy Joel. Earlier this week, we shared a reader's tip to complain and get a three-month refund for the inconvenience. Well, SiriusXM is on to us. [More]

Safe Deposit Key Refund Zombifies Bank Of America Account
It's the end of the day, so let's all gather around the soft glow of our monitors and tell spooky stories. I'll start. Not that long ago, an ordinary consumer had a terrifying experience.

How A 1¢ Interest Payment Zombified My Bank Of America Account
A few days ago, we shared the hilarious and pitiful one-cent check that a reader received after closing out his Bank of America money-market account and taking the funds elsewhere. This was a silly and annoying waste of paper and postage, but better than the alternative…having the account go zombie and run up a negative balance when it should have been long since dead. [More]

Report: Thai Fishing Industry Is Using Slave Labor To Catch The Fish Imported By The U.S.
A new report from a British activist group is placing Thailand's fishing industry in some pretty hot water, with allegations that 15 Burmese workers of a Thai crew were basically slaves. The group is now urging the United States, which is the No. 1 importer of Thai fish products, to hold Thailand accountable for the reported abuses the workers suffered at the hands of the fishing crew.

Zombie Amazon Returns More Common Than You Might Think

Zombie Amazon Return Rises From Dead, Gets Charged To Credit Card
We've discussed zombie debt, zombie bills, and zombie accounts, and even zombie retail on this site before, but we had never heard of zombie returned merchandise…until now.

Why Does Chase Keep E-Mailing Me About My Closed Non-Zombie Account?
Elizabeth wishes that Chase would stop sending her emails. They're not spam, exactly: she used to be a customer. But she's getting e-mails as if she still had accounts there, and she closed hers more than a year ago. She was afraid that it has gone zombie: that is, that it's been mysteriously re-opened without her permission to make unwanted payments and devour her credit score. [More]
Suntrust Checking Account Wasn't Really Closed, Goes Zombie
Stephen had an account at Suntrust, and decided to leave that bank behind and start a shiny new credit union account with his wife. He left the Suntrust account open instead of withdrawing all of his money and transferring it to the new account, spending it until it was empty, then going in to close it. This plan would have worked beautifully if Suntrust had actually closed the account when he asked them to. [More]
Chase Customers: Did The Bank Ever Re-Open Your Closed Account?
Over the lifetime of Consumerist, we've written a number of stories about so-called zombie bank accounts, where a consumer finds out their closed account has been re-opened without their knowledge or approval, usually after some third party attempts to make a direct deposit or debit on the dead account. If you were a Chase bank customer and your account was resurrected from the grave, we'd like to hear from you. [More]

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|This deluxe edition of STANDING IN THE SHADOWS contains new live versions of classic hits sung by today's stars and backed by Motown's house band, the Funk Brothers. Included are four original, previously unreleased tracks from Motown's vaults and a bonus disc containing instrumental versions of the original hits.
|STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Compilation Album For A Motion Picture Or Television.
|"What's Going On" (Chaka Khan) won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance.
|Personnel: Eddie Willis, Robert White , Joe Messina (guitar); Earl Van Dyke, Joe Hunter , Johnny Griffith (keyboards); Uriel Jones (vibraphone, percussion); Bob Babbitt, James Jamerson (bass guitar); Benny Benjamin, Richard "Pistol" Allen (drums); Eddie Brown (congas); The Funk Brothers.
|While there was certainly little to complain about on the original issue of the soundtrack for Standing in the Shadows of Motown, for those who truly sought the magic of the Funk Brothers, this deluxe edition is what they longed for all along. This two-disc collection contains the soundtrack of the Allan Slutsky/Harry Weinger film -- plus three bonus tracks -- from that historic night at the Royal Oak Music Theater just outside of Detroit. It pairs what was left of the original Motown session gang and their heirs with a host of vocalists, including Joan Osborne, Chaka Khan, Bootsy Collins, Montell Jordan, Me'Shell Ndeg?Ocello, Ben Harper, and Gerald LeVert interpreting the classics. The extra soundtrack cuts feature John Lee Hooker, Jackie Wilson, and Dennis Coffey with the Detroit Guitar Band. But on disc two, the entire grail becomes attainable. Here are 15 musical tracks, the original instrumental sides from "the Snakepit" of the Motown studios, with little or no vocal accompaniment, remixed from the ground up. The producers broke down and mapped out each verse, bridge, chorus, and vamp on paper first. Phone calls were made to the living members and then each tune was knotted together from the recorded evidence, using the input of the Funks and the added guitars of Dennis Coffey and Wah Wah Watson.
|What comes across is the Brothers zeroing in on and stretching the groove with grit, grease, and soul from the floor of Studio A. Here are the popping rhythms of "Standing in the Shadows of Love," "The One Who Really Loves You," Norman Whitfield's "Pride and Joy," and Smokey's "My Girl," along with the dubs of "The Hunter Gets Captured By the Game," "I Was Made to Love Her," "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," and more. Interspersed are dialogue tracks where the dwellers of the Snakepit speak, like Joe Hunter, Pistol Allen, Jack Ashford, et al. There is one cut that breaks the rules: the final selection on the disc, the version of "You're My Everything" with James Jamerson. Here are David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks singing, handing off the lead vocal on tape with Jamerson punched in as a way of balancing the rhythm. It's just the Temps and Jamerson's bass running over the vocal arrangement. In other words, it's a whole different aspect of the "rhythm" track and perhaps the most startling evidence of how truly unique the Funk Brothers were. Certainly, a lot of this will piss off purists, but it can't be helped. For everyone else, this is a beautiful and moving document that offers what the soundtrack tried to, and is the real reason to make this purchase. It could have been made available on its own, but corporate marketing strategies being what they are, this is as good as it's going to get and the only way to get this bit of groove history. ~ Thom Jurek

Weather problems
My wife and I are in the early stages of planning a trip. We are looking at up to 18 months from home and this is likely (due to budgets, ages etc?) to be a once in a lifetime trip.
Over the last five years we have travelled (without a bike) to a variety of countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, India, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey etc).
We are still deciding where this trip will go, the options I see are;
1) From home in New Zealand, up through Asia, Nepal, India, Pakistan and on to Europe (Pakistan is the worry in this plan)
2) All of the America's, ship bike to say Vancouver and head South
3) Ship bike to Europe, then around Europe, across Russia, into Canada and South
4) Ship bike to Europe, then around Europs and South into Africa.
Weather is the one thing that I have having trouble sorting out. As we are looking at 18 months there will be 3 weather seasons in there (I hope that makes sense). We don't want to do extremes of cold and due to budgets we will be camping when possible.
Questions that I hope someone out there can help with are;

What is "warm enough"? If it has to be like "go to the beach every day and swim", then those countries won´t fit the bill.
I come from a cold climate, and for me, the Mediterranean coastal regions in Turkey & Greece would be quite okay to spend the winter. But that´s no tourist season, and it might often be rainy and windy. And you could see a few snow showers a few times in midwinter, but it´s unlikely to stay on the ground for long.

There are seasons when people travel most of the routes you mention to avoid extremes of temperature and precipitation, they are very roughly.
Starting in Canada in May/June time, head North for July/August and finishing in the South of Argentina/Chile November/December taking 6 or 18 months.
Europe to Africa
Start in Southern Europe April/May and head north from there. Leaving Europe September/October and taking about 6 months to reach South Africa, there might be some allowances for the East or West routes.
Europe to Asia
Depart August/September arrive in India Novemberish, fly/ship on to SE Asia around March and take it from there.
Once in a lifetime trip are famous last words, it can be addictive and people somehow manage to keep going for years if the fancy takes them

You should take a look at a 'weather almanac'. Basically, it's historical weather stats that will give you a very accurate idea of what the temps and weather are in each place during each day of the year.
For Europe, the worst case scenario is that it's dreary and ugly. But at least it's easily traveled almost all year if the roads are cleared of snow. It won't get you stranded. But if you want to travel through tundra and high mountains, you will find that everyone goes during the same few months weather window each year because the roads will be inaccessible during other times. Just read a ride report or two to find out what is good timing.
I'm partial to routes that get more adventurous as you go on. So instead of doing Asia to EU, or S. Africa to EU, I think it makes more sense to do it the other way. For most people, the high points will be their adventures in some Asian village/remote mountains, not looking at some old church and pretty building in Europe... so going to East/South builds up to bigger adventure and bigger high points instead of becoming more boring. Maybe I just feel this way because I grew up in Europe...

Thanks everyone for the advice :-)
I have downloaded the trip planning budget spread sheet and am using that to work out what we can afford.
I have also found (via Horizons Unlimited) a chart showing when it is okay to travel in African countries.
For now we are looking at possibly starting in England in May 2014 (a group from here ships bikes to the UK and have space in their containers to take other bikes so that makes it easier), then time in Europe before heading down to Africa.
I am sure (all going to plan) between now and then that you will see more of us on this site!

The Vampire Diaries
Vote Now! Will Damon Become a Hybrid?
If there's one thing we've learned from The Vampire Diaries' executive producer Julie Plec, it's that no one is safe. Thus, when a wolfish Tyler took a chunk out of our beloved snarky vamp, we were worried. Heck, we're still worried. But Damon cannot die. The fact that so many people wouldn't watch TVD without him proves it, right? (Please say it proves it, Julie!)
Maybe we're grasping at straws here, but we noticed that Mystic Falls' resident werewolf had not made his full-on furry transformation at the time he got all bitey. What does this mean? We're no experts in lycanthropes, but we're thinking that while the wolf bite will have some effect on Damon, it's not going to outright kill him. In fact, our theory is that Damon will actually follow in the O.V.'s footsteps and become an hybrid werewolf/vampire like Klaus. What do you think, TVD fans? Are we onto something here?

I went 14-7 in Week 10. I know. Not good. Not good at all.
I lost (bad) on Utah over TCU. The Horned Frogs have proved to me they're one of the best teams in the country. I lost on Alabama (to LSU), Oklahoma (to Texas A&M), Missouri (to Texas Tech), South Carolina (to Arkansas), Florida State (to North Carolina) and Texas (to Kansas State).
Against the Experts, I remain three back of Chip Patterson (177-48 overall), while Darst was the big mover of the week, going 16-5 and tying me with an overall mark of 174-51 The rest: Jacobi 170-55, Dodd 166-59 & Horowitz 160-65.
On to Week 10
No. 4 Boise State over Idaho (Play the over of 63)
No. 1 Oregon over California
Georgia 31, No. 2 Auburn 30 (Newton news will be a big enough distraction)
No. 3 TCU over San Diego State (Lay the 26.5)
No. 5 LSU over Louisiana-Monroe (Take the 32.5)
No. 6 Wisconsin over Indiana
Arizona State 38, No. 7 Stanford 31
No. 8 Ohio State over Penn State
No. 9 Nebraska over Kansas (Play the over of 61)
No. 11 Alabama 31, No. 17 Mississippi State 10
No. 12 Oklahoma State over Texas
No. 13 Iowa 33, Northwestern 27
No. 14 Arkansas over UTEP
No. 15 Utah 32, Notre Dame 23
No. 16 Virginia Tech 23, North Carolina 20
No. 18 Arizona over Southern Cal
No. 19 Oklahoma over Texas Tech
No. 20 Missouri over Kansas State
No. 21 Nevada over Fresno State (Play the over of 68.5)
No. 25 Florida 31, No. 22 South Carolina 21
Baylor 40, No. 23 Texas A&M 37 (Take the 3)
No. 25 UCF over Southern Miss
Rutgers over Syracuse (Take 3)
Georgia Tech over Miami (Take 3)
Tulsa over Houston (Enjoy watching the over of 76, but not a suggested play)
My deepest apologies … and glad I wasn't in Vegas.
I thought for sure Oklahoma (closed at -5) would trounce Texas A&M. Guess not as Sooners lost 33-19. I liked Nebraska (closed at -6) over Texas Tech, which won 24-17.
Lost on unders of TCU 47, Utah 7 (closed at 51½) & Oklahoma State 55, Baylor 28 (closed at 72½ -- OK State led 24-0 at the half; Doh!).
My one correct pick was North Carolina +10½ at FSU. The Heels won 37-35.
Let's see how my eight suggested plays fare this week.

It is extremely important that any member of your family who accompanies you to the U.S. has adequate health insurance and access to health care. (J-2 dependents are required to have insurance). In preparing your budget, you must be sure that you can meet health insurance expenses.
For students or employees covered by Yale Health Plan, you will probably want to add your accompanying spouse or same-sex domestic partner and/or family (dependent children under the age of nineteen) to your insurance. Spouses, same-sex domestic partners and family are not automatically enrolled simply because the student or employee is a member, so you will have to request it and pay an additional premium. For employees, faculty, postdocs and visiting scholars on Yale Health Plan, dependents must be enrolled within the first 30 days of your employment or event (such as birth or adoption) or during the yearly fall open enrollment period. Students may enroll a spouse, same-sex partner and/or dependent children and in Yale Health Plan by annually filing an application with the YHP Member Services Department and by paying the additional premium each semester. The family enrollment form for student dependents must be filled out yearly and turned in by Sept. 15.
If you are not on Yale Health Plan, you will want to shop around for the coverage that best meets your needs as a family. See the sections on Non-Yale Health Insurance and Shopping for Insurance Plans for information and suggestions.
If you have children who will be attending public schools or daycare, you will be required to show proof of immunization, including D.P.T. (diptheria, pertussis, tetanus). It is helpful to bring copies of medical records and proof of immunization from your country.
Be sure to understand the Federal Health Insurance Requirement for your visa status:

There is a line that former Mississippi State men's basketball coach Rick Stansbury used often that even though we may have gotten to hear it over and over again, there's truth to the statement.
When the Bulldogs entered a season with several veterans coming back that went through the rugged Southeastern Conference schedule and perhaps the postseason in the previous year, it would lead Stansbury to say, "there's no substitute for experience."

Ohhh.Thanks!Got zee treasure!<3
Other question to this quest. I can see on location map that is some big area, but passage block grill door, and inside is jaguar with skeleton. Is there any hiden key to this area? Or its some mini quest? From diary around the settlements is information that hunters stock in that ruins some cats. Of course i find the treasure and get attacked from behind by jaguars, but still dont know why so big area blocked with that grill. First idea is like I earlier wrote "subquest". For any advice or answers, thanks.

There are two areas of "Soft Dirt" -- each near one of the diaries. Dig those up to find the 'treasure'. When you dig the second one, you'll get the only combat spawn in the mish, and you're done.

hmm, i right click map but i do not see where is that big X on OS map. Simply do not have clue where to go and after some item ''map' icon expires and i have to click it again so can search it again?
is that big X on small or big map when i make right clik on map in my invetory?

But if you fail to see the red big x on the open sea within 10 min (see timer on icon under your name), or if you unroll and look at another treasure map you get a message saying that "you are no longer looking" for the (old) treasure location. Can be re-set unlimited times by looking at the appropriate unrolled map again.
For Folly of Man, enter the OS from Charlestown but don't move on the sea. You see the faint glow of the big red x on the horizon due North of your position. Once you see it, drive to it and stop inside the cross itself, then click on the cross (cog curser showing gold. If showing silver, yo uare still outside the cross, move closer to its centre).
However, in later treasure map adventures the distance to be sailed is often so large that you cannot see the cross from your starting position. Solution: compare the rough features on your treasure map with the rough features on the global map to look for likely locations. Works better than the local map I think, let alone the radar (the red crosses are so big that you see them on the OS before you see them on the radar).Last edited by bhxlej; 02-24-2011, 04:54 PM.

User reviews on Carmike Blue Ridge 14 Cinema
This theatre rocks!!!! The popcorn is delicious and there are 14 different movies and only $2.25 a movie it's a wonderful theatre!!!!!
I've been a customer for over 10 years. We were greeted by an angry security guard who told us the theatre was closed... This was 10 minutes after it began. I told him I wanted to speak with the manager, upon which I did, and he followed us in. During ordering tickets, he asked the manager "why are you selling them tickets? She was being smart.." After the movie he stared us down- however I had my phone on record, just as a safety measure. I'm a social worker and have not felt this unsafe I'm a long time. My boyfriend and I are both professionals. Please consider your safety before going!
Disgusting place. My two teens and I bought my nephew here and we r seated right now. The only reason we are not leaving is because he would be so sad. It stinks and the seats look filthy! Yes, I know its $2 but dang, they can't pick up a freaking vacc** or spray some lysol?! I'm not expecting all the bells and whistles of a regular priced theatre, but I surely wasn't expecting to be grossed out! We will NEVER be back. PATHETIC excuse for a theatre. You get what u pay for. GROSS
We've been coming here for many years and always enjoyed it. Kids always have a great time, always want to come back, and like I said, we have always enjoyed this place! Nowhere else can I take my son and his friends to a movie for under $15.00 w/popcorn either! Other Theaters demand $55.00 for same, but I wouldn't pay it. We'd stay home and play Monopoly before I coughed up that much of my work week for a movie and handful of corn...
...Like I said...Best popcorn too ! :-) !
$10 for a family of 5
Don't like kids... Stay home or pay the price $$$
Thank you for servicing our community !!!
while i love paying 2bucks for a movie...lets be honest the place has a bad smell...I think its the carpet..
when it first opened it was one of the nicer theaters in the area they took pride on keeping it looking nice...now its basically a place where lazy parents drop off their badass kids...theyre running around everywhere..these are likely that drop their kids off at a birthday party WITHOUT A GIFT..
also taste your popcorn before you leave the concession stand..chances are its stale
I like bootlegging whiskey when I go watch a movie at Blue Ridge
I like it, because you get to see movies that you weren't able to see earlier at a cheaper price.
Living on a Budget....Carmike theater is GREAT!!!!!!...we use the coin jar to treat the grandchildren and they LOVE IT!!!!!!..my husband & I love love love it..they think we spent alot of money on them...love Carmike!!!!!...Great 4 Family!!! (G4F all Day)....:):):)
Blue Ridge, the motherf*ckin best!
It's not clean ,but it's cheap &convenient;.

Weekend mornings are for sleeping in and special breakfast treats. On this particular weekend I enjoyed Ana's indulgent Iced Carrot Latte and made a batch of these plantains for Britney. In the past I've made a lot of vegan pancake type items (thanks Chocolate Covered Katie!) but we've been trying for something lighter and this is what I came up with. There is a sweet and a savory version, Britney had the sweet ones for breakfast and I took the savory ones with me to throw into an avocado lettuce wrap at work!
very ripe plantains
coconut oil spray
nut milk of choice (I used coconut milk)
cumin or cinnamon
sea salt or stevia
Heat a pan over medium heat. Peel and slice the plantains into thick slices. Spray the slices with coconut oil and sprinkle with the desired seasonings. Place plantain slices into heated pan and pour a splash of nut milk over them, cooking until soft and crispy and then flipping. Remove when both sides are soft and crispy.

Narrow your search
After Best Buy sued Rescuecom for using the same advertising tactics Rescuecom decried in its suit against Google, the PC support company makes peace with Google.
Google has prevailed in another lawsuit over its policy of allowing advertisers that don't own certain trademarks to purchase AdWords ads generated by those trademarks.
Another lawsuit is pending over advertisers that bid on keywords involving trademarks they don't own, while also alleging Google has unfairly manipulated search results.
Firepond is reviving the legal tussle over whether Google should be allowed to sell ad keywords that are trademarks of a company to its competitors.
Search giant says it has modified its policy on trademarks appearing in keyword ads, allowing brand names to show up in AdWords copy.
Policy reversal on trademarks in ad text could anger companies already sensitive about use of trademarks as search keywords, but could also allow retailers to make better ads.

The alternative terms explanatory variable, independent variable, or predictor, are used in a regression analysis. In econometrics, the term "control variable" is usually used instead of "covariate". In a more specific usage, a covariate is a secondary variable that can affect the relationship between the dependent variable and other independent variables of primary interest.
An example is proved by the analysis of trend in sea-level by Woodworth (1987). Here the dependent variable (and variable of most interest) was the annual mean sea level at a given location for which a series of yearly values were available. The primary independent variable was "time". Use was made of a "covariate" consisting of yearly values of annual mean atmospheric pressure at sea level. The results showed that inclusion of the covariate allowed improved estimates of the trend against time to be obtained, compared to analyses which omitted the covariate.

Jenson Button returns home to Frome to turn on Christmas lights
Posted: November 20, 2013|
Frome's favourite son Jenson Button will return to the town to launch Christmas and turn on the festive lights.
The town council has been liaising with Santander to arrange for the 2009 Formula One World Champion's return to his home town to attend the Frome Extravaganza, which has now been extended to two days.
Jenson will turn on the lights on Friday, November 29 and huge crowds are expected to welcome him.
Peter Wheelhouse of the town council said: "We are delighted that Jenson Button has chosen to switch on Frome's Christmas lights this year. This is quite a coup for the town council and we know that the community will be excited at the prospect of seeing Jenson in Frome again. We are extremely grateful to Santander who have made this happen."

Jenson's last visit to Frome celebrated him being awarded the first ever Freedom of Frome accolade and a huge crowd turned out to welcome the Formula One star, in the town where he grew up and attended school before becoming an international sporting icon.
Mr Wheelhouse said: "Frome Town Council are over the moon to be working closely with Santander and Vodafone McLaren Mercedes to bring Jenson home to help launch the start of Christmas in Frome and are very much looking forward to a fantastically exciting night of entertainment topped off by his visit."
The fun kicks off with a community concert in the Cheese and Grain car park from 5pm, where local acts such as Frome Community Choir, the Youth Town band and Honk Monster are scheduled to perform.
Frome FM who will compere the event, and broadcast live from the celebrations and there will be several food stalls dotted around Frome selling festive treats, primarily within the Cheese and Grain car park, and Frome cafes and restaurants are busy preparing festive menus to feed the many Frome people expected to turn out.
After the concert it is intended that Jenson will address the crowds and subsequently make his way up to the Christmas tree in market place to turn on the lights, before saying a few more words.
The Extravaganza continues on Saturday with some great activities for the children and street performers popping up all over town to entertain the people of Frome as they have a look around the wonderful local shops and see what's on offer, on this the first day of festive shopping in Frome.
The Westway will host Santa's Grotto raising money for Frome charity Positive Action on Cancer, alongside a range of local stalls, reindeer and rides. The library will host a magician, a puppet show and festive storytellers late into the evening.
To support the array of wonderful stalls and performers popping up all over town, the Cheese and Grain will host a Christmas craft market on the Saturday before the entire town turns into a giant market all day Sunday, with the Frome Super Market hosting their final market of the year.

Proctor & Gamble is planning a wave of job cuts that could see as many as 1,600 go including marketers, according to reports.
The consumer products giant is also looking for ways to cut its massive $9.3bn advertising budget and put more spend into digital.
"Facing flat market shares and growing investor pressure to cut costs, Procter & Gamble Co.plans to eliminate about 1,600 "overhead" or nonmanufacturing jobs, including some in marketing, and is banking on digital marketing to help contain media spending long-term, executives said on the company's earnings conference call today.
"The move follows an announcement earlier this month that P&G would outsource to brokerage firms in-store merchandising work covering about 2,700 employees, most of the part-time, and expands a program put in place for some categories two years ago," according to Business Insider.

Asian Chicken Salad Recipe
I've been wanting to come up with a healthy recipe for Chinese chicken salad. I love the brightness of oranges and tangerines in salad, and combining their juice with some Asian ingredients makes a flavorful dressing. But all to often when ordering an Asian chicken salad in restaurants, the salad dressing is loaded with sugar (as is the chicken marinade) and the the salad itself has mountains of friend wonton strips piled on top. I decided to keep my recipe simple using seasonal spinach, carrots and tangerines to make a flavorful, healthy and easy Chinese chicken salad recipe.
I mentioned in my corn and bell pepper soup post that you could expect to see some fancy spinach salad recipes coming up. At the end of winter I'm craving salads and desperate for the freshness of spring produce. But it's not quite time so spinach salads are a great way to eat seasonally and sustainably while still tapping into my warm weather fantasies (so are cabbage salads, one of my favorites will be up next week!).
The awesome thing about making this a winter weather salad, is that so many different varieties of tangerines and mandarins are in season from early winter to early spring. I've now made this salad with clementine mandarins, tangelos, fancy mandarins and even canned mandarin oranges. While I'd always recommend the fresh citrus, if you've got a can of mandarin segments to use up, or perhaps get a can from the foodbank, this is a beautiful affordable recipe to use it in.
I tried to use simple ingredients, notice the marinade and dressing and very similar. The only difference in ingredients is honey for the chicken and brown sugar for the dressing, and the addition of ginger powder to the salad dressing. Whatever you do, don't buy the little bottle of ginger powder. You can get spices so much cheaper if you buy them in a bulk section. A lot of grocery stores have a little bookshelf type stand with jars of spices that you can measure out to buy exactly how much you want. That way you're getting your spices for pennies instead of dollars.
For the Asian ingredients (rice vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil) see if there's an Asian market in your area. This is always cheaper than the little ethnic aisle at a regular grocery store. If you don't have one within an hour of you try looking online. A 12 oz bottle of rice vinegar would cost me $4-5 at a general grocery store, but only $2 at Asian Food Grocer. Although there are shipping costs, if you get several items at such a discounted rate, you'll still save money even with shipping.
Well I'm off to go watch Gnomeo and Juliet with Eric and my brother Jason. My brother is 23 and autistic. We love taking him to kids movies because he will often giggle uncontrollably and that's a very contagious thing. We love to laugh! I'll share on Twitter if we liked the movie or not
Mandarin Chicken Salad Recipeserves 2
1 boneless skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup honey
1 TBS rice vinegar
1 TBS soy sauce (I use Aloha shoyu)
1 TBS tangerine juice (or orange juice)
1 TBS sesame oil
4 cups baby spinach (very loosely packed)
2 carrots julienned (here's my julienne peeler)
1 TBS brown sugar
1 tsp soy sauce
1 TBS rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp ginger powder
2 TBS tangerine juice (or orange juice)
Seal the chicken breast in a heavy duty zip top plastic bag, pressing out most of the air. Use the flat side of a meat hammer (or a rolling pin) to pound the chicken to an even thickness. Remove from the bag and slice the chicken into bite size strips.
In a medium bowl mix together the honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, tangerine juice and sesame oil for the chicken marinade. Add the raw chicken pieces and stir to coat. Let the chicken sit while you prepare the other ingredients.
Divide spinach between two plates and sprinkle with julienned carrots.
In a small bowl whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger powder and tangerine juice for dressing. Set the dressing aside.
Heat a wok or non-stick frying pan on medium high. Add marinated chicken and stir frequently while cooking (to prevent honey from burning). Once chicken is a golden brown remove from heat and let cool.
Top spinach and carrots with chicken and drizzle with dressing.
Approximate cost/serving: I get a one pound box of spinach (which fluffs out enough to feed us for a month) for around $3. Carrots are crazy cheap. The costliest item is chicken breasts, especially if you're going for humanely raised chickens. Still, the recipe only cost me $1.60 to make for two of us, so that's just 80 cents a serving!
Vegetarian/Gluten Free: You can marinate chunks of tofu and pan fry them instead of chicken to make this vegetarian. For gluten free use gluten free soy sauce or tamari.

Miley Cyrus gets wet and wild in 'We Can't Stop' teaser
First look at the video set to drop later this week…
Miley Cyrus has released the first teaser clip from her 'We Can't Stop' music video, which is set to drop in full this Thursday.
The 20-year-old starlet shared the 8-second teaser on Twitter, which shows her having fun at a pool party joined by a whole cast of extras!
"Miley already had her idea on how she wanted her video to go. A lot of artists have a lot of boundaries to how they record videos; they only want to be doing certain things," producer Mike Will Made It revealed to MTV News.
"But she's young. She's 20. She's fresh, so she's just having fun on set," he continued. "Whatever character she had to be in, and like I said she's an actor too, so whatever she had to be in in whatever shot, she played that character to the T."
Mike Will also went on the explain the inspiration behind the lead single – which will feature on Miley's upcoming album – revealing that the singer was inspired by a real-life house party she attended.
"When she heard this song, what made her connect to this song is it reminded her of a specific party, a specific party where she was at," he said. "She's saying real stuff. It's all real. So it's not like her trying to force anything or anything like that. It's like speaking from experience. It's like a point-of-view record."

Grey's Anatomy Spoiler: Sandra Oh Reveals One Doc Won't Pass the Boards
This season of Grey's Anatomy hasn't been going easy on its doctors, and before spring is over one of them will face a major career obstacle. As previously reported two docs will be in danger of not passing the medical boards, but Wetpaint Entertainment has learned that while one of them appears to be safe, the other…well, not so much.
"Someone didn't pass the boards," Sandra Oh revealed to Wetpaint at the 33rd Annual College Television Awards put on by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation.
Oh would not reveal which doc flunks, admitting "I'm gonna get in trouble," but spoiler hungry fans can look up the scenarios that likely put two of our Seattle Grace Mercy West residents in trouble.
Speaking of trouble, it appears there aren't happier days ahead for Owen (Kevin McKidd) and Cristina either, on the heels of his admission that he cheated on her
When Wetpaint inquired about light at the end of their marital tunnel, Sandra said that going into finale, there doesn't seem to be any.
"I honestly have no idea," she tells us. "But if there is, a lot of time relationships go through a long dark period, so definitely that's where they're at right now."
We know that creator Shonda Rhimes spoiled that she has "no intention of splitting [Cristina and Owen] up," so there will be a happy ending in store for this couple.
Grey's Anatomy returns with an all-new episode on Thursday, April 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

EXPORTING genetic know-how to a regime that sanctions eugenics is about as morally wholesome as selling Semtex to countries that sanction terrorism. Yet this uncomfortable idea seems to have bypassed some people.
On 1 June 1995, a law came into effect in China forbidding couples diagnosed as having genetic diseases from marrying unless they agree to be sterilised or to take "long-term contraceptive measures". Many Western geneticists have rightly protested against this chilling move, though some are still agonising over whether to boycott a major meeting on genetics to be held in Beijing in 1998.
Equivocation is not something one could accuse Genset of. This French company, which specialises in collecting and sequencing human DNA, looks certain to be there in 1998. It has struck a deal with the Beijing regime to collect and analyse DNA samples from all over China (This Week, p 4).
