I think that having this Navigator is going to be great. Being in the Fire and Rescue for the past 10 years, this will give me the better ability to have great directions to be able to get to my location and give my driver better location to where to go. I am looking forward to getting this service wether I get the chance to win or not. Great job by all involved. Thanks

I will be touring grad schools this summer. Would love to have it for that! See! TiPb and TeleNav can help with my college career!
I would love to use it when I go to New York City.
Contests are great, but not quite geek enough for this one
Rarely use facebook so a post about a phone blog Wouldnt be bueno, but Didn't notice option#2(darn reading while driving.)....With this app I wouldn't have to also use maps while driving to Cleveland Ohio from Florida
Going on a trip to Canada!
I would travel to TN with the family. Good times.
I dont have facebook or tweeter account but all the same nothing wrong in trying. Hope i can be picked for a change.
What? No love for Verizon iPhone users? Telenav has an app for that too - which I have... it's better than TomTom, but not as good as a Garmin Nuvi :)
I'll use it to take a road trip across the country!
On a nice long vacation
I like road trips (and both facebook pages). Gimme gimme please. kthanx.
I want to get Telenav to take me away from where I am,,,, anywhere else.
headed to Cali in August! Take me there!!!
How I'm gonna use it is to get me to different job interviews in ares I dont know how to travel through. Since im on the job hunt. It would be priceless to me....
I would see if it would take me geocaching...
Road trip to Sturgis!
I am planning a trip to see Hearst Castle and this would really help me get there!!
I'm planning on using this to help me not get lost.
We spent over 1.5 hours trying to find an iHOP in new jersey.
This thing would of helped :(
Oh well. It would get great use.
Thanks for the great site.
I am currently planning trips from Cincinnati to Florida for the final two Space Shuttle Launches. Then afterward, this summer I am going to be travelling out west to Wyoming and on to Oregon, then south through Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah to do a lot of photography before heading home. I think Telenav would be an excellent addition to my journeys!
I'd love to use it anywhere. I get lost in the closet if the light are off.
Use it on road trips this summer! - best part is it entertains my daughters in the car.
I would love to use TeleNav to help me brave the drive from here to Washington, DC and help me maneuver through that traffic nightmare!
I would love to use telenav to find my way around college, which I'm starting next fall!
Oklahoma State!
Going to NYC!
Thanks Jalan this is really great fbdceaek.re: Maps can you send specifics where it is not updated on your phone but is updated on your PND?re: routing what do you mean by web based web planning and saving routes? I'm assuming that you've tried our online preplanning and My Favorites?re: traffic we've got coverage in most of the major metropolitan areas where our customers live/work and where there tends to be the most traffic. Are there specific cities where you don't feel the coverage is adequate? This fbdceaek is always helpful. Also one of the key differences between our traffic rerouting and most PNDs is that it is specific for your route vs. just providing a traffic summary of the area around you. It's proactive and specific to traffic along your route. Many of our customers see this as a big benefit.re: feature updates this is a valid point and we're always working on ensuring that customers are quickly made aware of new version updates. What version of our service are you currently using? I can make sure you have the latest that is available for that device.Thanks again for all of your fbdceaek on this topic as well as others.
Mike, congratulations! That is the cerorct answer. Please send me (firstname.lastname@example.com) your phone model, carrier and number and we'll set you up with your one-year subscription.
I'm from small town North Dakota and I go to St. Louis 3 times a year to see in laws and friends, gonna make it soooooooo much easier to get around!!
Just "liked" Telenav. Already have "liked" TiPB for a long time! Going to Maui and would love to have Telenav on board! I'm a GPS addict, but my wife wouldn't go for $10 a month right now.
I live in Alaska, Yes, Alaska and when traveling on our rural roads thrhugot out alaska and Canada the roads are rarely marked. You could be in the next town before really knowing if you are heading in the right direction, and most often than not you have taken the wrong road. Not to mention if you go to one of our bigger cities like anchorage or fairbanks where the signage is also horrific you could be going the wrong direction in no time, which makes it all worse when I am in all senses of the phrase directionally & navigtionally challenged!! Then when my 3 little angles realized our long ride to Anchorage or Fairbanks is about to get longer than it already is they just HAVE to mention that mommy is lost AGAIN!! or you should have turned when I said mom! which is my 16 year olds favorite phrase to say after we get back on track.Thanks for the chance to try and get the telenav.DEM
I am moving to Los Angeles soon and I have no idea where I am going!!
I travel a great deal for work in emergency management. Not having to rent a GPS with the car will help!
I need to win because I get utrned around very easily and your app is great. I am planning a trip this summer and this app will help me get where I want to go without getting lost.
I would love for Telenav to take me somewhere far far away from the evil clutches of my Sith boss. I will even take a vacation to the ice planet Hoth! GET ME OUTTA HERE!
Im goona use it to find me some cool geocache locations in ONTARIO!!
I am going to use it to get home because I am so bad with directions!
To the moon
I will use it to take me anywhere and everywhere!!!!
Liked both!! Would use this to drive us all over the SE and Midwest for my husband's cycling races! Great giveaway!
I will use the App to help me navigate the streets of Detroit! and possibly to stalk Eminem! Just Kidding Marshall! :) Buck
I live in Boston and although I've been living here for about three years now, I still get lost whenever and wherever I am! I will use the App to find my way around the city... and not getting lost on my way home!
my son is in a soccer team and we travel from city to city on weekends to play this will be great
I'm traveling to the West Coast...I'm going to LA & Las Vegas in a couple of months & this would really be handy.
I want to take my wife to the midwest and south to tour Major League Baseball Stadiums - Would love to use app to not only help us navigate and to assist with great places to stay and eat. Love road food.
Use it on a 50th birthday trip to San Antonio.
I will use TeleNav to find my way to ATV trails in Kentucky! ATV trails are a tad bit tricky to find when your traveling in the middle of no where with no where to stop and ask for directions!
Since my wife takes our GPS unit all the time and I'm stuck with Google Maps. This would be FANTASTIC!!
Lost!? Lost is my middle name! I have a road nabrey that no matter how often I drive down it I almost always go the wrong way on it there is never a good time or place to turn around on it so I end up miles and mile out of my way. This is just one example I have many, many stories of being lost. This GPS would be awesome (especially since I have a 15 year old daughter who is following in my footsteps when it comes to directionally challenged.)
I'll be using TeleNav to take the ( then ) wife and I to the airport for our honeymoon :)
I'd be lucky to get a copy of Telenav. Working in production means i spend a tonnof time on the road and a quality GPS app could be a lifesaver taking me all across the cities I travel to!!!
I plan to use Telenav to explore Wisconsin via motorcycle this summer. This would be a great tool.
I would use this app to take me everywhere. I just came from Android to iPhone and I must say that I miss Google Navigator. I actually got lost yesterday haha.
I actually have just received my drivers permit and I need to start learning the roads.. This app would be quite helpful to have. :)
I will also be going to a rural part of Georgia over the summer to see my father and no one knows the way...last time it took us (my family) quite a few hours to find the house out in the middle of no where.
Thank you for allowing me to toss my name in. :)
Will be driving from Florida to California next month, I would love to use TeleNav. Thanks!
Driving around everyday just gets me lost in this crazy city...I so need this.
im not trying to sound like a kiss ass or anything but i have difficulty getting around town... i came from the big city of los angeles... and moved out here to the country side of orlando florida a year ago and i have no idea where to get anywhere here.... not used to living out here... definitly couldnt get anywhere with the verizon iphone cuz i would always b hanging up to use the maps app...this is everyday for me because i have to constantly call my friends and have them stay on the line while i use the maps app...(gets very frustrating with really bad turn by turn directions) but this would actually help me alot in getting around the city of orlando.... i would love to use teleNav on my GSM iphone 4...
I have been unemployed for 10 months and I would use AT&T Navigator on my iPhone 4 to find employers I could interview with Nationwide and locally here in dallas to make sure I am never late for my interviews because I would get lost:. This would help me GET THE JOB!!
Oh man this would be so awesome for my amazing 180 mile commute :/
I have and love my iPhone, but navigation stinks on it. I have to keep my Droid so I can use Google maps navigation. I travel all over north TX doing pre purchase inspections and have to use nav to get around. I would love to try the telenav navigation.
I plan on using the TeleNav App to help me find my way around Toronto Canada for my wife's friend's wedding. I've never visited Toronto, and want to be able to find all of the great attractions.
Navigation on iPhone sucks. Period. And driving in and out of freeways, interstates and city streets ain't easy with very little guidance. How about showing some love, Telenav+TiPb? :)
Really would love this for appraising new home subdivisions since my Garmin is out of date.
I would use Telenav to drive to visit my parents, my children, and my other relatives - none of whom live within a thousand miles of me.
I agree also, Telenav just doesn't make sense when the rest of the GPS MARKET is not charging you a mlnohty fee. Consider how you also have to have a data plan to also use Telenav and if you don't have any service in your area you'd be screwed. Telenav just needs to get with the program and start offering map packages and charge SEPERATELY for online services like traffic and other things of that nature.Biggest complaint is how this came as the default GPS program for Tmobile HD2 users if they wanna use one what is compatible with NaviPanel. I had to flash my rom to a different version so I could use CoPilot (which I then discovered was TOTAL CRAP ALSO UGH!!!!). So at the moment I'm just living with it. Eventually I'll just go for TomTom or Garmin XT or iGo or NaviGon because as you can see you got way better choices to go for ..
Telenav will take me to Florida, which is 1,120 miles away to see my mom and grandmother!! I am actually going to drive down in the summer. This would help tons!!! I currently live in Delaware!! I'm also driving to georgia in a few months for my family member's Marine core graduation, as well as Virginia to visit other family. Lots of traveling! :) I would be very grateful!!
I love Telenav. I loved it with Sprint, and I love it more as a iPhone app. My travels in Texas are much easier with Telenav.
I would use Telenav on my iPhone to find warmer weather in the southern states. I would have a better handle on traffic delays in Chicago and construction.
I would use TeleNav to go soooo many places. First - I'd use it to find a car dealership to buy a new car. Then I'd take that new car on a trip across the country for me and my new wife. I'd use it to take us to Arizona, where my grandparents lived and are buried - I've never been to their graves. Then perhaps - on to LA to see the stars!
Big fan of TiPb n iPhone. I regularly use gps apps for my travelling, but wished I had a better one than MapQuest or waze.
Would love to have ATT navigator. I can go
places :)
I would use it to make trips back and forth from college in Idaho to visit my family in Mississippi!!
The B. Stands for Burns btw!
Telenav will take me safely to the East Coast on my upcoming vacation!
After receiving the subscription from you guys, i'd use it as my guide to California to visit the Apple Headquarters and possibly see Steve Jobs himself :P in my dreams...
I plan to see if I can really jet ski from Japan to China like Google Maps says. I'll use TeleNav to guide me! :P
I would use TeleNav to take my mother and sister on our first family vacation in years.
I would use TeleNav to replace our old, WAY out of date and bulky TomTom on a trip back home to Washington D.C. I haven't been there since before I joined the Air Force 28 years ago. Now that I'm retired...I have the time to go. Thanks!
I love the app, but I wish it was a tad bit smarter. Couldn't find "Allen Road" from my contacts or manual entry, but it knew "Allen Rd" just fine.
I could use telenav to tale me to Florida next week for a music festival! Telenav would have fun.
I need TeleNav to take me some place warm. Miami would work. This Michigan winter just won't quit.
I've been dying to try out telenav, but I just can't shell out the money for it.
This summer, I'm flying down to Fort Hood with a buddy in the army. He put his car in storage down there before he shipped out to Afghanistan. We're driving the car to Louisiana to see a friend, then driving it back up to Maryland. It'll be my first huge road trip, and I'm kinda dreading it. A quality GPS unit would make all the difference!
I will use this to travel this summer as I am a photographer and it will help me get to some of the harder places to find to photograph.
I'll let it take me anywhere as long as it doesnt direct me into a lake!
I will use it for traveling with the family, fishing trips, and work!
My Garmin just bit the dust. I'd use TeleNav as a replacement while traveling for business.
I would use it mostly around town, but I have a long road trip from Chicago to Sarasota in June that I would love to use it on.
Need it mostly for my kids! They have absolutely NO sense of direction!
ROAD TRIP!!!! this will help with not getting lost on road trips!!! and finding gas stations before we have no gas on said road trips.
I plan on using Telenav to get me around town. I am in college and am trying to learn the roads so having something like TeleNav would be amazing. I have tried the free trial and it was amazing but I just couldn't afford it. I used it to get home over Christmas break and even when I made a wrong turn it quickly corrected the route and got me back on my way. I also used it in a recent trip to Disney, so basically it would be used to keep me from getting lost while I adjust to a new city.
I've "liked" TiPb on facebook for a long time already! If I won, I'd use it to guide me to my friend's house in New Mexico. My friend has been sick for a long time, and I haven't been able to get down theor to visit him.
I would love to have this I am a traveling salesman and don't really like the navigon app for driving. And this would give me a solid chance to try this service out after already spending 50 bucks on nav apps that just don't do what I need them to do.
Team Jailbreak
We are going to Maui. This would be great.
I'll use telenav to find Waldo.
I would use Telenav to get to almost anyplace in this big city of Dallas. I've lived here for 8 years and still get lost.
My wife and I are taking a couple of trips this summer, one to the Smokies, and one to the Cascades. I intend to use Telenav for these!
I'll use it to help me get to Origins this year in Ohio.
I'm going to use Telenav to navigate through Southern California...it's where I live and despite living here my entire life I still get lost :)
I am a truck driver and I would use the Navagation from AT&T for locating my pick up and drop off spots. Telenav and AT&T are both excellent companies, together they will have the best navigation service there is!
Moving to San Diego soon, and will need to know how to find my way around town.
I'm going to use it to help me get to my family vacation hotel in Siesta Key, Fl
I will use TeleNav to shuttle my son to his many soccer games this summer. I love the TeleNav web interface!
i do a lot of biking and this would come in handy. i also, tour with my band and we all have bad senses of direction!!!
in fact, i just got lost while typing this message.
I'm going to use telenav to help me relocate to a new state for my first job after I graduate college next month!
I am going to use TeleNav while traveling across the US with my family! Can't wait to get going and can't wait to win!!
I would use it for my vacation to fl in June. Taking new son to Disney!
Road Trip with kids! Last year we drove from Baltimore to Tallahassee and Sarasota FL for spring break. This year we plan to go north! Better navigation would be awesome!
After having driven 3,000 miles across the US getting here safely thanks to my Sprint Android phone using Google Nav and Sprint Navigation(Telenav) I switched to AT&T and the iPhone, now I find myself lacking any decent navigation, 3,000 miles from home in a place I don't understand =[
I would use telenav to get me to Deal's Gap. I ride a motorcycle and every year I take leave from my job in the military and travel to some of the best riding in the country. My iphone is my music player and telenav would turn it into my GPS as well. Two years ago I had a crappy Samsung that had the ATT navigator free. It was awesome to be able to use the app to go on the trip but not worth staying on the Samsung. Now that I have the best phone out there, I'd use the telenav app to get where I need to go.
I would use Telnav to find new places to photograph!
I'm about 30 minutes south of Los Angeles in Long Beach. Having TeleNav would give me another good reason to explore L.A.
I would use TeleNav to take me somewhere warmer that I could relax! Thanks for the great promotion and the great reading here at TiPb. You all rock.
I'm gonna use it to go to Disney Land this fall with my fam. Also heading up to MI for a wedding and NC to see some friends!
Drive to California...
I would use TeleNav to help me navigate through this crazy Atlanta traffic. HELP! Thanks TIPB!
I would use it when I am stuck in traffic and need an alternate route. Also when I am traveling to see family.
I would use TeleNav to take me to across the country on my dream trip to Disneyland!
i would use telenav when i drive to MA from NY this summer!
I would use it to show my Android friends how lame their GPS is.
Maybe we could find our way around Baltimore/DC in July when we visit our daughter at Ft Meade
i'm gonna drive to the keys, please guide my way!
I'm retired now, so I've got plenty of time to drive all over. I don't want to get lost!
I would really love to use TeleNav to take me to all 30 MLB ballparks this summer!
I'll use telenav to get to my friends graduation. I'm in California and he's graduating at the airforce academy I. Colorado. Road trip!
I would drive to see each of my family members across the country this summer, which would be great! Maryland, Florida, Ohio, Nevada, and Georgia! Winning this would make it much easier!
I just got an email stating that I won! Yay!
I won too @nicole
Telenav will take me to little grass valley reservoir, CA
HAH! What a fun contest Christina Anyways, just like enreyove before me, I'd love this why!?Hubby has a GPS in his cell phone and it's the best thing Ever! And, I don't get to use it nearly enough; if I'm lucky a couple times a month. Usually during errands on the weekend, when I don't need it at all. But, just to feel good we let us talk our way around town.As a not-at-home-school family we're going to parks, museums, coops, field trips on a daily basis throughout the state with new destinations every other day or so. IF I had this on my cellphone I wouldn't get lost the average 3-4 times a week, stuck in traffic for hours, or waste anymore precious gas. My littlest one just said Mama, you get lost many times every single day Today, we tried to go to an amusement park and I had google maps printed out; but that did NOT work, because just like noted above they're not always wrong. In my experience, I've banned mapquest about 3 years ago, because they were notoriously wrong. Also, as forgetful as I am I always fail to map out and print return directions. Believe me, I've lost much gas, sanity and time, simply because the return trip due to multiple highway exits/entrances, one-way streets, and multiple-lanes-that-I-can't-turn-because-I-didn't-see-the-street-coming-and-I'm-in-the-wrong-lane roads always get me off track.I'm always driving in circles. I've even mastered the quickest, hopefully safest, K-turn on the tightest roads and U-turns on the big ones. As for traffic jams: 7 miles from New Haven, we have the states worse highway bottleneck which can clog up traffic for hours for a 5-15 min. drive. When we took separate cars: Daddy, 1 daughter and me in one; Hubby & 2 other daughters in another, we were coming home from Newport, RI which should've been a 1.5 hour drive; took use close to 3.5 hours, but hubby got to navigate his detour and was home in less than 2 hours. We obviously lost him, and missed his exit; but even when he called by cell; we couldn't guarantee we'd know how to get home.In New Haven and NYC (which we visit ~ 2 times a month), we need detours for traffic jams and alternative routes to find parking. One convenient time, we parked and had the GPS lead our way by foot to the museum and restaurant of choice. Oh what I would do to have this luxury every single day. Add the fact that I have a bad memory and always seem to recall the wrong landmarks I can never stray off one-set of directions. So, a detour is my worse enemy. Especially because the signs never seem to get me to where I needed to go. We had so much road construction in New Haven this summer, and 3 of my girls' camps were in the center of the city oh, how I dreaded those days!Last, we leave SO much earlier than necessary to compensate for my driving, just to make things on time. For all the reasons above, we didn't have the best reputation for being on time much, even allotting what I thought more than enough time in the first place.Geez my 9 yo is reading over my shoulder and sighing Mama you can write forever about this topic . So, I might as well stop now. If I don't win, just seeing how much time, energy, gas money I wasted these past 3 months it may be an investment I have to make hopefully not Fortunately, my girls have mastered car games, and can read and write incredibly-neat in a car well, as you can see we're in it ALL the time

HONOLULU — Jim Nabors, the actor best known for playing Gomer Pyle on TV in the 1960s, has married his longtime male partner.
Hawaii News Now reports Nabors, 82, and Stan Cadwallader, 64, traveled from their Honolulu home to Seattle to be married Jan. 15. Gay marriage became legal in Washington state last month.
The couple met in 1975 when Cadwallader was a Honolulu firefighter.
"I'm 82 and he's in his 60s and so we've been together for 38 years and I'm not ashamed of people knowing, it's just that it was such a personal thing, I didn't tell anybody," Nabors said. "I'm very happy that I've had a partner of 38 years and I feel very blessed. And, what can I tell you, I'm just very happy."
Nabors said he's been open about his homosexuality to co-workers and friends but never acknowledged it to the media before. He doesn't plan to get involved in the issue politically.
"I'm not a debater. And everybody has their own opinion about this and actually I'm not an activist, so I've never gotten involved in any of this," Nabors told Hawaii News Now.
Nabors became an instant success when he joined "The Andy Griffith Show" in spring 1963. The character of Gomer Pyle – the unworldly, lovable gas pumper who would exclaim "Gollllll-ly!" – proved so popular that in 1964 CBS starred him in "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C."
In the spinoff, which lasted five seasons, Gomer left his hometown of Mayberry to become a Marine recruit. His innocence confounded his sergeant, the irascible Frank Sutton.

Very happy with my new Kumhos. Car handles well in the wet.01/04/2015
Kumho.. Cheap, but cheerful and effective tyre. Used since april 2014 on my MR2, they've lapped the nurburgring, travelled europe. Lasted so far 10,000 miles and still got plenty of meat on them.11/01/2015
Great value and last well05/02/2014
A Must buy, all good round tyres. Good in rain and superb on motorways. this is in a BMW E39 M525/01/2014
I have used Bridgestone and toyo before on the same car but these have way better grip in all weather. I used these during snow and although it wasn't great it was a massive improvement considering they are not winter tyres. These lasted around 2000 miles more than the other brands even thought I did more spirited driving in my ep3 type r. Plus they are pretty cheap so it's an all round winner. The only down side is that when they get close to the minimum tread they are slightly noisier than other brands I have mentioned. I will only put this brand on my car from now on!07/01/2014

Athenaeum Location

Forbidden Journey: The Life of Alexandra David-Neel
The Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum is excited to welcome Barbara Foster to deliver a slide lecture on her biography of Alexandra David-Neel, whom Lawrence Durrell calls "The most astonishing French- woman of our time."
The New York Times has described Mme. David-Neel as "a compulsive traveler, an explorer, a feminist, a prolific and international writer and an acknowledged authority on Buddhist ritual." She was the first European woman to enter Lhasa, the forbidden spiritual and political capital of Tibet, by sneaking in disguised as the servant of her servant.

Luther King, Jr., birthday speaker. She and her late
husband, Medgar Evers were active in Mississippi
during the Civil Rights Movement, dedicating their lives
to the cause of justice and freedom for all people.
Medgar Evers was field secretary for the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People in
Mississippi and in 1963 was struck down by an
assassin's bullet. The first two trials were deadlocked by
all-white juries. Myrlie's powerful devotion to see
justice done in the third trial is a demonstration of her
strong will and determination.
Ms. Evers graduated from Pomona College and then
became director of planning and development for the
Claremont Colleges. During this time she wrote For Us,
The Living (1967), a book describing the civil rights struggle in
Mississippi. The book was later made into a PBS
Since her days with the colleges, Ms. Evers has been
an editor for Ladies Home Journal, covering the Vietnam
peace talks; vice president of advertising and publicity
for a New York firm; and the first African-American
woman to head the Southern California Democratic
Women's Division. She was also the first African-
American woman to serve as commissioner of public
works in Los Angeles, a post she held until 1991.
Be sure to join us to hear a woman who has worked to
realize King's dreams of racial equality everywhere,
from Mississippi, to New York, to Claremont. The
evening will start with a reception at 5:30, dinner at
6:00, and the talk at 7:00. Return the enclosed slip to

agendas are one of the biggest sources of conflict
between men and women in college, where we young
people are often living alone for the first time. Finger-
pointing is often the unproductive result. Bob Hall's approach, however, assigns responsibility to both men
and women in dating, and opens up a forum to uncover
conflicting assumptions and begin conflict-defusing
The Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum is proud to
present Mr. Hall's ground-breaking presentation
designed to bring men and women together in discussion over this universal issue. Hall is a nationally known rape prevention instructor and the founder and president of Learning To Live With Conflict, a company that provides education and training in conflict resolution.
Mr. Hall's presentation includes role-playing, a touch
of humor, and a continuous dialogue with his audience.

gangs is one of the most serious social problems
facing America's cities. Up until now, the American
public has never had access or insight into the personal
stories of the kids who make up these close-knit gangs,
nor the opportunity to try to understand the reasons
teenagers choose the gang lifestyle. Leon Bing, who
recently published a book entitled Do or Die (1991), attempts to
change society's perception and understanding of
teenage gangs by letting gang members speak for
themselves. She offers insight into the reality of gang
life. Ms. Bing will be our first speaker in the series titled
"California: The Next Ten Years."
Bing, who was a well known fashion model before
becoming a journalist, first began writing about gang
life in 1987. Through her determined efforts, she was
able to penetrate the war-torn streets of South Central Los
Angeles and meet many gang members. Bing interviewed them at length to learn their personal stories and
to understand what it is that drives them to do what
they do. Bing developed close relationships with several
gang members and keeps in contact with them to this
Besides Do or Die, Bing has written stories on gang life
for L.A. Weekly, Harper's and Rolling Stone magazines.

you to this enlightening evening which will begin with a
reception at 5:30 followed by dinner at 6:00 and the
speech at 7:00.
welcome Schyleen Qualls. Through her dramatic
presentation, titled "The Last Word," she aims to
encourage students of all backgrounds to explore the richness and diversity of American culture and to
become more knowledgeable and open-minded world
citizens. The show includes a fun-filled collage of
thought-provoking poetry and prose by celebrated
African-American authors.
Ms. Qualls is an accomplished actress with an
impressive list of credits in the arts. Her unique
theatrical style has delighted audiences in hundreds of
performances in the United States and abroad. She is
co-founder of the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance
Ensemble and for many years has performed her
dramatic vignettes in concerts with the highly acclaimed
dancers. This versatile actress has also appeared as a guest artist with jazz ensembles, symphony orchestras,
and gospel choirs.
Ms. Quails has travelled extensively in Europe, the
Caribbean, and Central and South America. In 1977 she
was a member of the American delegation to the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture
held in Lagos, Nigeria. She was also the scriptwriter for
the powerful film, "Family Reunion, Americans at
Festac," which documented the Nigerian festival and
has been shown in 74 countries. Recently she produced
a documentary film on legendary jazz artists Cannonball and Nat Adderley, and currently is working on
other film projects.
Please join us for a fun evening of intellectual
entertainment. Return the enclosed reservation slip for
the 5:30 reception, 6:00 dinner, and 7:00 talk.
welcome Barbara Foster to deliver a slide lecture on
her biography of Alexandra David-Neel, whom
Lawrence Durrell calls "The most astonishing French-
woman of our time."
The New York Times has described Mme. David-Neel
as "a compulsive traveler, an explorer, a feminist, a
prolific and international writer and an acknowledged
authority on Buddhist ritual." She was the first European woman to enter Lhasa, the forbidden spiritual and
political capital of Tibet, by sneaking in disguised as the
servant of her servant.
Mrs. Foster, a tenured assistant professor in the
Hunter College library department, and her husband
spent ten years following in the footsteps of this
remarkable woman to write the highly acclaimed
biography. The lecture includes both vintage and
contemporary slides, bringing Tibetan culture and
Buddhism to the Athenaeum in celebration of this
"Year of Tibet."

early eighties. In its short career it has become the
most feared disease of our time. Our generation has
grown up with the HIV virus on the news, in the
papers, possibly even in our communities. It has
infiltrated our culture. The Athenaeum would like to
welcome back Dr. Theresa Crenshaw to discuss how deeply the HIV virus has affected the lives of our
generation and our society.
As one of the most prominent sex therapists in the
nation. Dr. Crenshaw has devoted most of her time to
educating the public about this deadly disease. She is
the first speaker in the Athenaeum series "AIDS: Its
Implications Today." This series will address the medical, economic, and political aspects of AIDS.
Dr. Crenshaw graduated from Stanford University
and the University of California at Irvine medical
school. She then continued her specialty training at the
Masters and Johnson Institute in St. Louis, Missouri. In
July of 1987, President Reagan appointed her to his
presidential commission on the Human lmmunodeficiency Virus (HIV). She is president and founder of the
Ehrenborg Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of HIV infection. The two AIDS
Awareness Day programs Crenshaw developed won
Golden Mike Awards and an International Gold Medal
in New York.
In this day and age, you really can't afford to miss this
speech entitled "AIDS: Its Implications Today." There
is never too much information when it comes to AIDS.
Please join us for a reception at 5:30, followed by dinner
at 6:00. Dr. Crenshaw's remarks will begin at 7:00.
thing and do another? Or why college students
will humiliate themselves just to get into a fraternity or
sorority? Or why students learn more effectively in
cooperative environments than in competitive ones?
The man to ask is Eliot Aronson, the first speaker in our
Academic Leaders series. Dr. Aronson was selected to
speak by the psychology department, as he is one of the
leading social psychologists of our time.
Dr. Aronson authored the popular social psychology
textbook, The Social Animal (1972), now in its fourth edition,
printed in eleven languages. He wrote the book as an
"anti-textbook" to grab students' attention and draw
them closer to the material. It's his colloquial style that
draws students in and makes him a good teacher,
through his writing as well as in the classroom. He is the
only psychologist to have won both the distinguished
teaching and the distinguished research award from the
American Psychological Association. Currently he is a
professor of psychology and director of the graduate
program in psychology at the University of California at
Santa Cruz. He has also taught at Harvard, the
University of Minnesota, and the University of Texas in
It was in Austin that Dr. Aronson performed his
experiments of jigsaw classrooms. He showed that
school children in integrated classrooms learned better
when put into small groups, each reflecting the racial
make-up of the class. Each child was given a task that
was integral to the lesson for the group. Dr. Aronson
applied this cooperative method to adults through encounter groups. These groups stressed communication between intimate adults.
The main focus of his work of late has been energy
conservation and public policy. Dr. Aronson is trying to
help economists understand the way people will react
within economists' models. He suggests that telling
people what they are losing by not conserving will more
effectively inspire conservation practices than telling
people what they have to gain if they do conserve. In
many public policy situations, social psychology is a
crucial, yet overlooked, perspective.
Dr. Aronson's presentation entitled "Adventures in
the Application of Social Psychology" really is the "in"
thing to do. (He'll probably address peer-pressure, too.)
Please join us for the reception at 5:30, followed by
dinner at 6:00 by returning the enclosed reservation
form. Remarks will begin at 7:00.
welcome Frederick N. Merkin as the first speaker in
the "Legal Eagles" series. Mr. Merkin is a senior
assistant city attorney with the Los Angeles City
Attorney's Office and heads that office's Employee
Relations Division. Mr. Merkin received a Bachelor of
Arts degree from Claremont McKenna College in 1967
and a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from Stanford University Law School in 1972. He joined the City Attorney's
Office in the following year and, since 1980, has headed
that office's Employee Relations Division.
During his time in the City Attorney's Office, Mr.
Merkin has played a significant role in a number of the
major controversies and legal problems that have arisen
in Los Angels City Hall. In the late 1970s he represented
the city in resolving a dispute with federal and state
authorities over the discharge of wastewater into Santa
Monica Bay. He represented the city in a case involving
police "chokeholds"-Los Angeles v. Lyons-was
ultimately decided on justiciability grounds in the city's
favor by the United States Supreme Court. In 1985 he
counseled city government on the adoption of its
anti-apartheid divestment program. Most recently, he
led the city's successful defense against litigation
brought to block the city council's settlement of the
lawsuit filed by Police Chief Daryl Gates concerning the
police commission's decision in April, 1991, to place him
on administrative leave. Mr. Merkin is currently the
office's lead legal advisor to Los Angeles city government with regard to implementation of the recommendations made by the Independent Commission on the
Los Angeles Police Department, known as the Christopher Commission.
Please join the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum in
welcoming Mr. Frederick Merkin for his speech entitled
"Perspectives on the Christopher Commission." The
reception is at 5:30, followed with dinner at 6:00. Mr.
Merkin will speak at 7:00.
people in the early eighties, we have been bombarded
with a variety of "facts" about the disease, how it
spreads, and how it kills. In some cases it is difficult to
weed the truth from the myths. The Athenaeum
would like to welcome Dr. Alexandra Levine to clear
the air and set the record straight.
Dr. Levine specializes in hematology and diseases of
the blood. Her major areas of research include AIDS
and the malignancies associated with the disease. (Were
you aware that you don't die from the AIDS virus, but
from one of the rare diseases, such as PCP or KS, found
almost exclusively in AIDS patients?) Her recent research of the virus includes a study of HIV-related
lymphoma and the treatment of such lymphoma. She is
also on the board of governors of AIDS Project Los
A native of the Southern California area. Dr. Levine
received her bachelor's degree from the University of
California, Berkeley, and went on to medical school at
the University of Southern California. She has taught at
USC since 1977. In addition, she has lectured at the
University of Toronto Medical School, University of
Puerto Rico, and the Boston University School of
Medicine. Currently she is chief of the Division of
Hematology at USC.
AIDS has proven itself inescapable, and knowledge is
our only defense. Please join us for Dr. Levine's
remarks at 7:00, preceded by a reception at 5:30 and
dinner at 6:00. Simply return the enclosed reservation

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Thursday for tough new sanctions to punish North Korea for its latest nuclear test, and a furious Pyongyang threatened a nuclear strike against the United States.
The sanctions drafted by North Korea's closest ally, China, and the United States send a powerful message that the international community condemns Pyongyang's ballistic missile and nuclear tests – and repeated violations of Security Council resolutions.
"Adoption of the resolution itself is not enough," China's U.N. Ambassador Li Baodong said. "We want to see full implementation of the resolution." Li also urged calm and a resumption of the stalled six-party talks aimed at denuclearizing the Korean peninsula.
"The top priority now is to defuse the tensions, bring down heat ... bring the situation back on the track of diplomacy, on negotiations," Li said.
North Korea's nuclear test in February was the first since the country's young new leader, Kim Jong Un, took charge amid questions of whether he would steer the country on a different course. The North's threats sharpened Thursday with the first reference to a preemptive nuclear attack.
Immediately before the vote, an unidentified spokesman for Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry said the North will exercise its right for "a preemptive nuclear attack to destroy the strongholds of the aggressors" because Washington is "set to light a fuse for a nuclear war."
The statement was carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency, which issued no immediate comment after the Security Council vote.
In Pyongyang, Army Gen. Kang Pyo Yong told a crowd of tens of thousands that North Korea is ready to fire long-range nuclear-armed missiles at Washington, which "will be engulfed in a sea of fire."
The White House responded by saying the U.S. is fully capable of defending itself against a North Korea ballistic missile attack.
Although North Korea boasts of nuclear bombs and pre-emptive strikes, it is not thought to have mastered the ability to produce a warhead small enough to put on a missile capable of reaching the U.S. It is believed to have enough nuclear fuel, however, for several crude nuclear devices.

The Dos and Don'ts of Chocolate
The Dos and Don'ts of Chocolate
Poor chocolate—few foods have their very own rumor mill like this one. Chocolate is bad for your waistline! Dark chocolate is good for your heart! Chocolate makes your skin break out! Chocolate is an aphrodisiac! We went to the experts to get the truth about chocolate—and it's not all bad. Learn about chocolate's surprising health benefits and how you can eat it to your advantage.SEE MORE
DO be choosey about your chocolate.
To get all of the good-for-you benefits of chocolate and cocoa, you have to know what you're eating. Ideally, you should pick dark chocolate that contains at least 70 percent cocoa—the higher the cocoa percentage, the more health benefits the chocolate contains. The label on your chocolate should also say non- or lightly alkalized or non-dutched. And if you're eating the stuff for health benefits, skip white and milk chocolate, which don't have as many of the good-for-you flavanols the dark variety does.
DON'T worry if you haven't developed a taste for the dark stuff yet.
Shara Aaron, M.S., R.D, and Monica Bearden, R.D., the coauthors of Chocolate—A Healthy Passion, have a helpful tip: "You can develop a palate for the dark stuff by gradually increasing the percentage of cocoa in your chocolates and can even find some milk chocolates with 50 percent cocoa or more."
DON'T forget about portion control.
A little bit of chocolate is all you need. One study found that as few as 30 calories of flavanol-rich dark chocolate lowered blood pressure. "Enjoy a couple of individually wrapped squares of your favorite chocolate to keep the calories in check," say Aaron and Bearden, who recommend Hershey's Extra Dark with 60 percent cocoa—a 10g square has only 55 calories—or a 5g square of Scharffen Berger chocolate with 62 percent cocoa, which has just 29 calories.
But DO forgive yourself for splurging.
Eating that whole heart-shaped box of chocolates isn't the worst thing ever. According to the American Diatetic Association, a 500-calorie indulgence amounts to only about a two-ounce weight gain—easy enough to work off in a single gym session or by skipping your usual Venti Vanilla Frappuccino with whip the next morning.
DON'T turn to chocolate if you're looking for an aphrodisiac.
Men have long believed that giving a woman chocolate will put her in the mood to get busy. We hate to break it to them, but scientists have not been able to prove that chocolate increases sexual desire in women.
DO drink hot cocoa to keep skin young.
Cocoa beans are filled with antioxidants that combat inflammation from free radicals, which can leave skin puffy and red. According to Allison Tannis, M.S., R.H.N., the author of Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles, when cocoa beans are converted into chocolate bars, they can lose much of their antioxidants, which is why she recommends drinking cocoa with skim milk. Plus, it's a great mood-boosting food.
DON'T worry too much about the caffeine in chocolate.
Even dark chocolate won't keep you up all night. A 100-gram chocolate bar (made with 70 to 85 percent cocoa) has 80mg of caffeine, as compared with the average cup of coffee with 95mg of the stay-awake substance. And that's assuming you eat the entire 605-calorie bar in one setting—also a DON'T.
DO eat chocolate for your heart.
High cholesterol is a big contributor to heart disease—the number one killer of women. A low-cholesterol diet tends to limit eggs, meat, cheese (you know, the yummy stuff), but chocolate should stay on the list of heart-healthy foods to eat! A study found that substances derived from antioxidant-rich cocoa powder may contribute to a reduction in LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) and an elevation in HDL cholesterol (the good kind).
DON'T blame chocolate for your cavities.
Your mom was wrong about this one. Chocolate may actually help prevent cavities and plaque build-up on the teeth, say Aaron and Bearden.
DO use chocolate to scrub your skin.
The antioxidants and cocoa butter in chocolate help moisturize and promote healthy skin-cell development, keeping skin soft and supple, says Mira Goldin, whose New York City spa, Body by Brooklyn, offers a 90-minute chocolate massage that uses melted dark chocolate mixed with massage oil. Many beauty brands offer chocolate products if you're looking for a DIY spa treatment.
DO think outside the (chocolate) box.
To get the health benefits of chocolate without the added fat and calories, Aaron and Bearden suggest using natural cocoa powder in oatmeal, coffee and yogurt as a low-calorie way to get your daily dose of flavanols.

HIV directly or indirectly related to male-to-male sexual intercourse is the largest contributor to HIV infection among Blacks (CDC 2002), accounting for approximately half of all US AIDS cases diagnosed among Black men and a substantial but unknown portion of cases diagnosed among Black women in 2001 (CDC 2002). The Men of African American Legacy Empowering Self (MAALES) Project is an intervention, designed to reduce HIV risk-related behaviors among of non-gay identifying (NGI) African American men who have sex with men (MSM) in Los Angeles.
The study will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1 will obtain information about issues pertinent to sexual and drug risk-taking practices of NGI African American MSM gathered from focus groups with these men and with women who have had NGI African American MSM partners and from interviews with persons serving African American MSM. Phase 2 will involve initial pretesting of the MAALES risk-reduction program, which addresses the cultural, ethnic, socioeconomic and secrecy issues that may influence HIV risk among NGI African American MSM, and the comparison, general health promotion intervention with 20 participants. Following this pretest, 208 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two conditions, to test the impact of the MAALES program. Both conditions will consist of 6 weekly 2-hour group sessions. Participants will be tested at baseline, immediately after the last intervention session, and at 3-month follow-up. Study goals are:
1) to gather information about cultural identity and sexual risk behaviors among NGI African American MSM that will guide the intervention,
2) to test whether NGI African American MSM in the risk-reduction condition report lower levels of sexual risk behaviors (i.e., increased condom use, decreased number of sexual partners and decreased sex while using drugs) than NGI African American MSM in the health promotion condition at post-intervention and 3-month follow-up,
3) to test the effectiveness of using the MAALES Project to promote testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs); and 4) to examine whether other factors such as age, socioeconomic status, sexual and drug history, and current psychological distress can alter the intervention's effect. The fourth goal will help to tailor interventions to different subgroups of NGI African American MSM, if necessary.

With St. Patrick's Day on the horizon we thought it only fitting to write about the Irish in Newfoundland. Our culture is brimming with Irish influences - here within are some of our favourites.

Recently, I caught the bug. Nothing catchy. I'm talking about the travelling bug. I want to go out and explore more of my own province. You see, Newfoundland and Labrador is blessed with a wonderful conundrum – there are so many places to visit, it makes it quite difficult to find time to get to them all.

The theatre doors open and the crowd of people waiting in the small lobby are allowed to take their seats. There is a sense of anticipation as audience members whisper to one another. The only things on stage are six wooden chairs stacked to resemble a solitary tree. Perhaps each chair represents a different branch of Al Pittman's work that, when stacked together, create one solid play, With Cruel Times in Between.

Growing up in Newfoundland and Labrador, one of the fondest memories as a child was heading out to my Grandmother's house for Jiggs' Dinner. For those of you who don't know, Jiggs' Dinner – also known as "boiled" or "Sunday" dinner – is a traditional meal that consists of salt beef, turnip, cabbage, potato, carrot, pease pudding, and more often than not, some kind of dessert. Our Jiggs' Dinner, on both sides of the family, included a turkey.

Cruise Nunatsiavut in Labrador to experience unique aboriginal culture and breathtaking Arctic scenery. Find yourself in the adventures and mysteries of the Labrador Inuit as you cruise through their homeland.
The Northern Ranger ferry service links the small, remote communities of Nunatsiavut during the summer months with a 5-day return trip: Happy Valley-Goose Bay to Nain. Passengers have a choice of accommodations ranging from a dormitory bunk to a deluxe cabin with ensuite.
The return trip affords you a rare opportunity to learn the history and culture of this region and the Labrador Inuit lifstyle. During each community visit you will witness how vibrant traditions and culture resonate within modern communities; all under the backdrop of a wild and majestic sub-arctic Labrador environment that profoundly contrasts with the island of Newfoundland.

The Anchor Room Bar is packed with people, every seat is taken. The waitress' twist and weave around tables like a snake through the jungle grass, serving cocktails to the patrons who wait with excited anticipation. Being told the show is a "must see" while visiting Gros Morne, National Park they are ready to experience it for themselves. The band members of Anchors Aweigh gather together behind the crowd to do their ritual shot before taking to the stage. They smile at each other, this is what they love to do. The smiles grow bigger as they walk on stage and pick up their instruments, the crowd can't help but smile too. You can see their passion for music as they play. The audience can feel it.

Do I need to reintroduce you to the blaa? I probably do. The humble bread roll from Waterford, it is fluffy, square and white with a flour crust, and we are a little obsessed with it. It is thought that it came to Waterford with the Huguenots who called it blanc (because it was a simple white roll), but with our accent and a little time to erode it, it became a blaa.

Explore the past, experience the beauty. Hiding between the great Tablelands and the vast Atlantic Ocean sits quiet Trout River. While proclaiming itself to be Newfoundland's best kept vacation secret, a more accurate account would be Canada's best kept secret. This destination should be on every travellers list when exploring Newfoundland. Situated 86km from Deer Lake International Airport, in the glorious Gros Morne National Park, it is a rare and beautiful find nestled within another rare and beautiful find.

Driving to and fro to Twillingate, you pass by Prime Berth Twillingate Fishery & Heritage Centre. They are hard to miss as there is a whale skeleton beside their fishing stage just as you cross the causeway onto Twillingate Island.

A bus dropped us off at the side of the road where a small flag, set beside a narrow path that led into the forest, indicated the start of the trail. It was not a simple walking trail, there were some difficult parts, but it was beautiful. Halfway along the trail there was a lookout. I felt as though I was standing on top of the forest. All I could see were the tops of trees stretching out toward the open ocean in the distance. As I stood there catching my breath and taking in the beauty, I could almost have believed I was the only person on the planet....this is the chef hike at The Gathering Festival in Burlington Newfoundland

People often ask me, "what are the must-dos in Newfoundland & Labrador?". In a province as vast and unique as this, you can imagine that it is not an easy question to answer. However, after a little bit of thought and deliberation, I have put together my own Top 10 list of the things every traveller should do on their vacation to Newfoundland & Labrador.

We just returned from comedian Shaun Majumder's "The Gathering" in Burlington on the Baie Verte, Peninsula and we can't say enough good things about the event. This was the second year of "The Gathering" which is designed to feature fire, food and music and to raise money to help build BSM Manor.

We usually like to see several performances at the Stephenville Theatre Festival (STF) and so far have seen 2 shows. On Wednesday, July 31 we headed down to Stephenville see "Jewel" which is a one woman show performed by Maggie Blake. We had seen her last year at the STF in Mary's Wedding and were bowled over by the show and her performance so wanted to see her again this year in "Jewel". We were not disappointed and we enjoyed her performance in this powerful play about Marjorie coming to grips with the loss of her husband with the sinking of the Ocean Ranger in 1982.

On Thursday, August 1 we headed to Gros Morne National Park to check out some of their new offerings. First up was a "Yaffle of Chores" which takes place at Broom Point. This programme is part of Experience Gros Morne which runs from June 28 to September 2 and covers a range of activities from guided hikes to nature interpretation. A "Yaffle of Chores" is a new programme that was started this year.

One of last season's "must see " shows at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival in Cow Head was Newfoundland Vinyl which celebrated Newfoundland music from the 1960's, 70's and 80's. And as Jeff Pitcher, the festival director told us recently "How could we resist not putting together another show with different songs and different performers for this season. There are so many great songs written by Newfoundlanders from that era". And a real bonus is having Allison Crowe, a talented singer/songwriter in her own right as the musical director for the show.

bridal shower
By Dina
from Hermitage, PA
I cannot comment on the quality of the product because it is still packed up tight. I purchased these for prizes at my daughter's bridal shower. Purple and silver are her wedding colors so they will look lovely. My only complaint is that I ordered 2 and you sent them as 2 separate packages and I got billed for shipping twice. That made my bargain not so much of a bargain in the end. However I am still excited to present them to one of her guest.

It's a well known fact that penguins are not like most other birds. These highly specialized birds are adapted to living at sea — spending as much as 75% of their lives at sea. It's true they cannot fly; instead they swim through the sea at amazing speeds using their "wings" as flippers.
Shiny feathers uniformly overlap to cover a penguin's skin, much like shingles on a roof. Penguin feathers are short, broad, and closely spaced. This helps keep water away from the skin. Penguins have more feathers than most other birds, with about 100 feathers per square inch.
To get an up-close look at the penguins of Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin®, add the Penguins Up-Close Tour to your cart on the right. You'll get to interact with and even touch a penguin!
After you step off your adventure on Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin®, you will find yourself immersed in the penguins' colony in an expanse that envelops you in cool extremes: bringing you above and below their icy world.
Don't forget to check out our Penguins Up-Close Tour to get a behind-the-scenes look at Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin®!
Q: How many different types of penguins are there?
SW: There are 18 different penguin species: emperor, king, gentoo, Adélie, chinstrap, little, yellow-eyed, Snares, macaroni, northern and southern rockhopper, Fiordland, erect-crested, Royal, African, Humboldt, Magellanic, and Galápagos.
Q: Do they only live in Antarctica?
SW: Penguins are actually found on every continent below the equator, including some of the warmest and coldest places on the planet.
Q: Are they endangered?
SW : It depends on the species, but many are facing growing survival risks. The Galápagos, yellow-eyed, northern rockhopper, African and erect-crested penguins are endangered. Threats include habitat and nesting site loss, entanglement in fishing gear, overfishing of prey, and global climate change.
Q: What do penguins eat?
SW: Penguins dine on a diet of shrimp-like crustaceans called krill, as well as fishes and squids.
Q: How big do they get?
SW: Penguins come in many sizes - from big and small, they have them all. The emperor penguin stands at 3.7 ft. (1.1 m) and weighs 60 to 90 lb. (27 - 41 kg) - that's about the size of a small kid. The smallest is the fairy penguin, standing at just 16 in. (41 cm) and weighing about 2.2 lb. (1 kg). It's hard to believe, but penguins that lived in the past likely stood 5 to 5.9 ft. (1.5 - 1.8 m) tall and weighed about 200 to 300 lb. (90 to 135 kg). That's bigger than most people!
