Excellent program! Very enjoyable.

Wonderful singing by four young singers who, indeed, bode well for the future of opera in the United states.
Under the guidance of San Francisco Opera General Director David Gockley and Opera Center Director Sheri Greenawald, the Adler Fellowship Program offers intensive individual training and roles of increasing importance in San Francisco Opera's main-stage season.
Each year, a select group of exceptionally gifted singers from the Merola Opera Program is invited to continue their education as Adler Fellows. With Merola participants selected from a pool of over 800 candidates, these young artists represent the future of the classical music world.
Alumni from the Program
Former Adler Fellows include sopranos Nicolle Foland, Nancy Gustafson, Mary Mills, Patricia Racette, Ruth Ann Swenson and Deborah Voigt; mezzo-sopranos Zheng Cao and Dolora Zajick; countertenor Brian Asawa; baritone David Okerlund; and bass-baritones Monte Pederson and John Relyea.

And the one that matters the most
Only for the most extreme circumstances
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Investors expected a lukewarm performance at best
from Goldman Sachs (
) for the second quarter of the year, after rivals Citigroup (
) and
) announced in late May that fixed-income, currencies and
commodities (FICC) trading activity was significantly depressed for
the first two months of the period. After all, FICC trading is
the single biggest driver of Goldman's revenue, generating roughly
35% of the bank's total revenues on average. But an
improvement in global debt trading activity in June, coupled with
particularly strong results for Goldman's Investing and Lending
division, saw the investment bank trounce market expectations to
report revenues that were 6% higher than the figure a year ago and
just 2% shy of the seasonally boosted performance for the previous
While the numbers present a great picture overall, there are
some concerns that emerge from a more detailed look. The biggest
question raised by the results is whether Goldman's strong
performance is really sustainable in the long run. This is because
revenues for the Investing and Lending division primarily come from
the bank's private equity unit, which is notoriously volatile -
churning out huge returns in some quarters while incurring heavy
losses in others. So the division being responsible for nearly
one-fourth of Goldman's total revenues this quarter could
potentially be a one-time incident. If trading revenues do not
recover completely over the coming quarters, then the bank's
revenue figures are likely to take a hit going forward. Also,
Goldman's non-interest expenses of $6.3 billion for the period were
the same as the figure for the previous quarter and a good 6%
higher than the year-ago period. While a contributing factor here
is higher performance-related pay to employees, an increase in
legal provisions by almost $300 million in Q2 also inflated
expenses - putting pressure on the bank's profit margins.
In view of the better-than-expected FICC trading revenues for
the quarter, the strengthening capital structure as well as the
progress in the share repurchase program, we have increased our
price estimate for Goldman's stock from $180 to
. The new price target is about 10% ahead of the current
market price.
See the full Trefis analysis for Goldman Sachs
FICC Trading Desk Yet To Reach Its Full
Goldman Sachs is one of the few global banking giants which
remain keen on growing their FICC trading desks even as many
banks shutter these operations to cope with stricter regulatory
requirements and changing economic conditions. Our analysis of the
bank shows that the FICC trading desk is Goldman's most valuable
division - being responsible for nearly 30% of the bank's total
value, according to our estimates. The unit generated $2.2 billion
in revenues in Q2 - 10% lower than the $2.5 billion figure for Q2
2013 and 22% below the $2.9 billion it brought in for Q1 2014
(after adjusting for accounting gains or losses from a revaluation
of its own debt). This is not bad given that the first quarter sees
seasonally high debt trading activity each year, and also because
the poor debt market conditions over a major part of the quarter
pointed towards revenues of under $2 billion for the quarter.
While debt market conditions have definitely improved compared
to the second half of 2013, the demand is still soft due to fears
that the Fed may pull the plug too quickly on its asset purchase
program. As the interest rate environment stabilizes over the
coming quarters, we expect trading activity to normalize and
trading yields to increase slightly. You can see how this impacts
Goldman's share price by making changes to the chart below.
Private Equity Gains Tipped Scale In Goldman's Favor This
Revenues for Goldman Sachs' Investing and Lending division,
which houses its private equity unit, were $2.07 billion for
Q2 2014 - 46% higher than the $1.4 billion seen a year ago and
36% higher than the $1.5 billion reported for the first quarter. It
should be noted that the figure for Q2 2013 was already inflated by
the bank's sale of its stake in the Industrial and Commercial
Bank of China (see Goldman Cashes In Its Remaining Stake In
ICBC). As the bank attributes the high revenues this quarter to
"company-specific events and strong corporate performance," it
likely has more to do with one-time private equity gains than from
recurring revenue sources.
While an integral part of Goldman's business model, the private
equity unit has historically reported revenues that swing
considerably from one quarter to the next. This can be seen in the
chart below, which captures Goldman's total revenues from principal
investments in debt, equity as well as other investment

Also, we just got our home in SR in July and most homes have multiple offers.
We looked in Gale Ranch and opted for Windemere. We didn't feel all that comfortable with some homes too near the power lines but the GR homes are quite beautiful also.
this year, we wanted to refi and the appraisal came back about the same as we bought... we also know that some of our friends are trying to buy
You're probably wondering about the real estate trend because you're sensing a change in the market. About 7 weeks ago it became apparant that demand for housing in San Ramon is in a significant upwards trend. Much of the buyers who have been waiting are now comfortable with the fact the worst is behind us. Add to that interest rates are low and inventory of homes are also lower than average...the demand to buy homes is very high.
We have several gated communities for your consideration. Just let me know what you're looking for and your price range and I'm happy to assist your efforts in finding the right home. I look forward to talking with you.
San Ramon is HOT!!! Great schools and attractive neighborhoods…some are very new…always combine to make attractive targets for buyers. The entire San Francisco Bay Area is suddenly a seller's market. San Ramon is included. My personal opinion is that if you buy a house you like in a neighborhood that you like in the school district that you like with the commute to work that is acceptable at a reasonable price you will be very happy for many years to come. That is not new advice but it is timely.
It is a sellers market right now because there are not enough homes for sale and there are many would-be buyers. Homes in the lower price ranges (up to $700K) are selling very quickly with multiple offers in many cases. A lot of agents are putting new listings on the MLS on a Thursday with a notation "offers will be reviewed on Tuesday". They are even having limited showings access - like "view Saturday only between 1pm and 4pm". This generates an auction like atmosphere and such homes often sell above list price.
How do you compete? Well there ceratinly are ways. One approach is to avoid that type of situation completely and only consider agents with a more traditional listing approach. Then don't wait until the weekend to view homes, view them as soon as they are listed and be prepared to write a full price offer there and then.

The market has definately changed and buyers are writing many offers before winning the transaction. There are strategies you can use to strengthen an offer to raise your chances. Please contact me if you want more information.

OK... you just cannot make this stuff up. This morning a crazy squirrel was chasing another squirrel around a tree near where I was sitting, and got confused, fell out of the tree right next to me and ended up wrapped around my foot. My heel got scratched in the scuffle, but just barely. Once I cleaned it up you could hardly tell. And only one little bitty dot where the skin was actually broken. So... I cleaned with soap and water, and poured alcohol on it. Would you be worried beyond that? My OB's office is closed, and I tried to call my insurance's on call nurse, but they don't answer on Sundays. If I wasn't pregnant I wouldn't be worrying about this at all. Do you think it's fine? Maybe some neosporin and call it a day unless the scratch starts to look infected?
Later on I fell down the stairs (no serious damage, only a pulled muscle in my leg). I think I'll crawl into bed before anything else happens today!!!

CBS Radio active rock WYSP/Philadelphia morning show host Kidd Chris and PD John Cook have been fired over a racist song that was performed by in-studio guest Lady Gash on March 21.
The song, "Schwoogies," was sung to the tune of Blondies Call Me and was broadcast several times that day and again on March 24. The song was recorded by listeners and posted on Web sites, including Lady Gashs MySpace page and YouTube.com .
R&R received the following statement from CBS spokeswoman Karen Mateo:
"We found the song to be highly offensive and completely inappropriate for broadcast on our airwaves. When senior management of the station learned that it had been played, they took immediate steps to prevent it from ever appearing on the station again.

No he shouldn't have been. it was a hysterical song, sung by a listener...not even by someone employed by CBS. People are overreacting just because its about black people, just like with the Imus situation. Kidd Chris was one of, if not the best radio show to come around in a long time and its sad that he had to take this hiatus. and we all know it will be a hiatus just like O&A and Imus. If you think he should have been fired you basically disagree with the 1st ammendment.

CLICK HERE FOR INVITE AND TO REGISTER This morning February retail sales came in much better than expected, diverging from what individual retailers reported last Thursday. The U.S. Bureau of the Census, said sales increased 1.1% versus the Bloomberg consensus estimate of 0.5%. That result compares to a upwardly revised 0.2% increase in January. Strength this month was seen in building materials & garden equipment, food & beverage stores, clothing & apparel, and general merchandise stores. Last Thursday, a handful of retailers, including specialty retailers, warehouse clubs and teen retailers, released their sales results for the month of February. While the results came in better than expected, they showed a deceleration from January, opposite of what the broader report today showed. There were plenty of excuses for the slowdown by individual retailers - cold weather, payroll taxes, delayed tax returns, and higher gasoline prices. Those seemed to be ignored by today's report. Retail stocks have typically reacted to the retail sales data, despite the fact that the individual retailers reported results the Thursday before. Today the retail sales data is giving the SPDR Retail Index (XRT) a boost, indicating the data now plays a more significant role in the trading of retail stocks. That isn't surprising, because over the last few years the number of retailers releasing monthly sales results has decreased significantly, with the decline continuing into the start of fiscal 2013 (begins in February for most retailers). Case in point, in January there were 18 retailers reporting same store sales tracked by Thomson Reuters, but in February (when fiscal 2013 began) only 11 retailers reported monthly sales. The largest change came from the department stores - 5 reported monthly sales in January, but none reported sales in February. That group could see a more dramatic move in the stocks today. MasterCard Advisors previously said that the department store group had mixed results in February, with the luxury department stores faring worse than the moderate stores. Today's report showed that the department store sales declined 1% from January on an adjusted basis. The department store sector isn't broken out by luxury or moderate groups. Clothing stores sales, however, increased 0.2% on an adjusted basis in February. That likely includes smaller boutique shops, and its likely those types of stores are taking share from the department stores as customers look for a more intimate experience.WEBINAR:Strategies to Trade the Ag Space 03/13 at 6pm ET

The most expensive of the Raley's stores, which is really saying something since none of them are cheap. Does paying more for the same items make you a better person?
The employee's of Raley's have always been a treat in Reno. Go somewhere else.. pay less, and feel that much less of yourself.
Try the Nob Hill Gourmet soups. My fav is the butternut squash.
Good one Becca. Guess I don't compare it to other Rayleys'. Can't be much different??

Defense Acquisitions:
Measuring the Value of DOD's Weapon Programs Requires Starting with Realistic Baselines
GAO-09-543T: Published: Apr 1, 2009. Publicly Released: Apr 1, 2009.
Additional Materials:

(937) 258-7915
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
n 2008, the cumulative cost growth in the Department of Defense's portfolio of 96 major defense acquisition programs was $296 billion and the average delay in delivering promised capabilities to the warfighter was 22 months. These poor outcomes mean that other critical defense and national priorities may go unfunded and that warfighters may go without the equipment they need to counter the changing threats that they face. GAO has examined extensively the issues in DOD's weapon system programs from the perspective of best practices in product development, and believes that significant improvements are possible. Because the ability to measure knowledge, processes, and outcomes is critical to achieving these improvements, GAO has used metrics to review the management and health of these programs from within the framework of best practices. This testimony discusses: 1) "knowledge metrics," used to determine how well programs manage technology, design, and manufacturing risks; 2) outcome metrics--concerning cost, schedule, and capability--that serve as "health indicators" of how well programs are being executed in terms of predicted outcomes; and 3) the prerequisites that GAO believes must be met in order for a program's plans and goals to be realistic.
GAO employs a set of knowledge metrics to determine whether programs have attained the right knowledge at critical points over the course of a weapon system acquisition, and facilitate the identification of potential problems that could lead to cost, schedule, or performance shortfalls. In essence, knowledge supplants risk over time. Key knowledge points and metrics include 1) achieving a high level of technology maturity at the start of program development, 2) reaching design stability at the system-level critical design review, and 3) demonstrating that critical manufacturing processes are in control before starting production. By applying these metrics to selected programs in DOD's 2008 portfolio of major defense acquisitions, GAO found that most programs have started system development without mature technologies and moved into system demonstration with low levels of design stability. GAO has determined that programs with immature technologies and unstable designs have experienced significant cost and schedule growth. Program outcome metrics--quantitative measures of cost, schedule, and performance over time--provide useful indicators of the health of acquisition programs and whether they are meeting their intended goals. When assessed regularly for changes and the reasons that cause changes, these indicators can be valuable tools for improving insight into and oversight of individual programs as well as DOD's total portfolio of major defense acquisitions. The collective performance of the programs in DOD's portfolio is a key indicator of how well the acquisition system generates the return on investment that it promises to the warfighter, Congress and taxpayers. GAO recently reported that outcome metrics for DOD's 2008 major defense acquisition portfolio show worsening performance when compared to the department's 2003 portfolio. For example, total acquisition costs for programs in the 2008 portfolio increased 25 percent from first estimates compared to a 19-percent increase for programs in the 2003 portfolio. DOD is working with GAO and the Office of Management and Budget to develop a comprehensive set of outcome metrics to better assess its portfolio of programs. While knowledge and outcome metrics provide valuable information about the potential problems and health of programs, they are of limited value if DOD does not do a better job ensuring acquisitions begin with realistic plans and baselines prior to development start. GAO believes there is a clear set of prerequisites that must be met by each program's acquisition strategy before a measurement of the program's health will be of real value. These prerequisites include: 1) establishing an evolutionary, knowledge-based business case for each acquisition; 2) separating technology development from product development; 3) limiting time and requirements for product development to manageable levels; 4) employing systems engineering early on in the process to arrive at realistic cost and schedule estimates; 5) committing to fully funding a program once it is approved; and 6) setting priorities from the top to ensure that candidate programs are truly needed and have a solid plan for delivery.

everything has to be with a fight with my two and a half year old. I fight with her to dress her, to give her a bath, to brush her hair, to tie her shoes... every time I want her to do anything she has to run and hide and I have to physically tie her down to get her attention. Even getting her to sleep is the world's most difficult task. I tried reasoning with her, being gentle, praising her, putting her in the naughty corner... nothing works! I am so tired of fighting with her all day long, especially with a 5 month old baby at home and another baby on the way (accidentally). What else can I do?
why do we have to fight so much?
This is just a stage that all kids go through. Some kids dig in their heels more than others. Hang in there. This too shall pass.
Loving my life surrounded by boys - DH, E (10), and L (5).

Missing ^i^ Jacob 9-10-10
another idea, that worked great for us, is to try to make things a game. For instance, taking giant steps down the hall to get dressed, or having a 'race' to brush our teeth, etc....
I give her choices all the time, it's just things have to go her way all the time. I also play games with her to get her to do her chores but she's really really stubborn. You'd think a degree in child psychology would be of any assistance to me right now, but everything I learned in university doesn't apply to my daughter. People with older kids tell me she'll settle in at 3 years, but I just don't see it coming. I'll just have to hang in there I guess
I have a 3 year old son and EVERYTHING is a fight plus he WHINES! so, yep, right there with ya!!!!
Loving wife to Dwight since June 2000...
Happy momma to Nathan Layne - born 11/3/08
I agree with choices. I give my 20 month old choices but not on EVERYTHING!
I think timing has a lot to do with things. I get my LO dressed as soon has she wakes up in the morning. NO FIGHT. When I comb her hair, she combs her dolls hair...NO FIGHT. A lot of time we as parents do not plan out our time accordingly, thus we rush our children.
Let me add I not a patient person at all, but I do plan things out well so that I am not overwhelmed with my LO.
Married to (L) since 06/2004
FTM to Kale~March 10, 2010
life has been HELL with her lately. Whenever we take her out of the house to have some fun we end up going home early and quite annoyed. She cries about everything and we can't control it. We take her to the playground, she cries about somebody wanting to play with the slide/swing as if they are all hers. We take her to the mall, she cries when we pass every single store. "I want this toy" "I want this balloon" "I want chicken nuggets" and I swear she has tons of toys, tons of balloons, we never deprive her of anything yet she acts like she's deprived. Going out with her has been a chore, and we always come home swearing we'll never take her out again. sigh.
Has she gotten worse since the new baby was born? Maybe she's acting out to get the attention she has lost. Sometimes children want attention so bad they don't care what kind it is (good or bad)...Whatever it is, it sounds like you're doing all the right things: praising the good behavior, ignoring the calls for negative attention, punishing the really bad calls for negative attention, finding activities where she can get attention in a good way, talking to her when she's calm,letting her "help" you being a big sister, etc.
Parenting is tough. the more we want to do things right the harder it is sometimes. Hang in there...

Barron's London SalonRead MoreAfter growing up and learning precision cutting and hair coloring in London, David Barron came to Atlanta for a job as a stylist on the set of Fried Green Tomatoes.

His skill is as much technical as it is social—he strives to connect with each client before doing anything else. That way, he can style their hair to suit their personality, instead of just vouching for the newest trend or the biggest hat. He's so devoted to his client-based business model that he handpicked his team of stylists for their ability to follow it—and, of course, for their scissor-wielding prowess. Their precision cuts and color treatments have earned the salon numerous mentions in magazines and media, from Best of Citysearch to Southern Living. In addition to publications such as Allure, Modern Salon, and InStyle Hair showcasing his work, David himself has garnered score of personal accolades.

On hand for the arrival was Governor Jay Nixon and Missouri National Guard Adjutant General Stephen L. Danner.
Governor Nixon had not been expected. An aide for the governor arrived shortly after noon to announce to Airport Superintendent Howard Frazier that the list of those who would arrive to show respect for the Monett soldier was increasing. The Adjutant General landed in Monett at around 1 p.m. in a military plane.
Stark, a 2007 Monett High School graduate, was killed in action in Afghanistan on Feb. 28.
Stark's mother, Teresa Stark, and brother, Trenton, were surrounded by other family members as they walked onto the airport taxiway to receive the body.
A nine-person funeral detail from Fort Leonard Wood marched to the plane to receive the body. The flag-draped casket was rolled onto a hydraulic hoist that lowered it to the ground. The detail carried the casket in silence to the hearse while the family, Governor Nixon and other delegates stood at attention, hands on hearts and in salute until the hearse left the tarmac.
As the hearse stopped next to the airport terminal, a delegation of 13 National Guard soldiers from the Monett and Pierce City companies snapped to attention. The soldiers stood in salute until the family had gathered in the hearse and departed.
Representatives were also on hand from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Two vehicles joined the procession to the funeral home in Monett from the Highway Patrol's bomb squad and a comparable team from the Springfield Police Department. According to a spokesperson for the Highway Patrol, both bomb squads came to show their professional respect to Stark, who served as an explosives disposal specialist.
Visitation for Christopher Stark will be from 6 to 8 p.m. today at Buchanan Funeral Home in Monett. The public funeral will be at 11 a.m. on Saturday at Jolly Mill Park, southwest of Monett.
Governor Nixon issued the following proclamation in honor of Stark:
"Whereas, Specialist Christopher G. Stark, of Monett, Mo., was a soldier in the United States Army, assigned to the 705th Explosive Ordnance Company in Fort Polk, La.; and
"Whereas, while serving his country, Specialist Stark was deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom; and
"Whereas, on Feb. 28, 2011, Specialist Stark, age 22, died of injuries sustained when enemy forces attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device in Wardak Province, Afghanistan; and
"Whereas, Specialist Stark's awards and decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, Army Achievement Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Bronze Service Star, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, NATO Medal, Combat Action Badge, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Badge, Combat and Special Skill Badge Basic Markmanship Qualification Badge (Bar, Weapon: Rifle (Inscription: Rifle), Expert), and the Overseas Service Bar.
"Now therefore, I, Jeremiah W. (Jay) Nixon, Governor of the State of Missouri, as a mark of respect for the death of Specialist Christopher G. Stark and for his bravery and service for the United States of America, do hereby order that the flag of the United States and the flag of Missouri shall be flown at half-staff at all government buildings statewide for one full day on March 12, 2011, and shall be flown at half-staff at all government buildings in the County of Barry, Mo., from March 13, 2011, to March 18, 2011, from sunrise to sunset.
"In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the State of Missouri, in the City of Jefferson, this 9th day of March, 2011."

"Women tend to be caregivers for everyone but themselves," said Becky Williams, Mercy Hospital's director of imaging services. "Consider the time women spend caring for the people they love and care about; their children, husbands, parents, grandparents and all the needs surrounding them. Often this leaves little time to tend to their health care needs."
In an effort to ensure women to get their annual mammogram, Mercy Hospital Fort Scott invites women to "Show Yourself Some Love this Valentine's Day," a news release said.
On Wednesday, Feb. 13, women may take advantage of a full-day of walk-in mammogram screenings; no appointment is necessary.
"The success behind Mercy's previous 'Mammogram Manias' is we offer women convenient, walk-in mammograms. On Feb. 13, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., our staff will be ready to screen women who have not had an opportunity to schedule an appointment in the last 12 months, Williams said.
"Insurance allows women to receive a mammogram once every 365 days, so if a woman has not had a mammogram within a year's time-frame, we encourage them to do so," she added. "Early detection of breast cancer is vital, so get your annual mammogram on Feb. 13, or schedule an appointment soon."
More than 40,000 women will die of breast cancer this year in the U.S., the release said.
Women who wish to take advantage of a walk-in mammogram Feb. 13 should sign up at Mercy Hospital's main registration desk. Present a copy of your insurance card, if applicable.
No prescription is necessary if the woman's primary care physician is Mercy integrated. Women should be advised that if they are experiencing any breast discomfort or problems, clinical follow-up with your physician is recommended prior to the mammogram screening. Women are also asked to refrain from wearing deodorant or powder the day of their mammogram.
Diagnostic mammograms are not included in the walk-in service during the Feb. 13 event.
Refreshments will be available throughout the day, as well as free heel scans for bone density, educational materials, giveaways and more. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (620) 223-7015.

NH man charged with attempted assault at motelStaff Report | January 05,2013ROCKINGHAM A 55-year-old New Hampshire man was arrested Friday in Claremont, N.H., on a Vermont warrant stemming from an incident at a Rockingham motel last month.
Vermont State Police said John Cotter of Charlestown, N.H., was arrested in connection with the Dec. 22 incident at the Rodeway Inn in Rockingham. Police said Cotter, armed with a large pipe, attempted to kick down the door of a motel room occupied by two people, ages 30 and 28, and their three young children, a 6-month-old, a 1-year-old and a 6-year-old.
Police said surveillance video showed a man, quickly identified as Cotter, armed with the pipe. Another man was with him and efforts are still under way to identify him.

I've been a Daft Punk fan since a bro called me a ****** (lmao at the stars, it's a slur against gays and/or an English cigarette) for liking them in high school, and since then news about Daft anything has actually leaked, as far as I know, exactly two times:
- someone scooped the world tour 2007 dates and posted them here
- Human After All leaked ~3 weeks before the release.
What I'm saying is the chances of a Seattle-based dubstep promoter having an epic Daftnouncement are zero and you should think about what you post before you post it.
I only mention the slur because it was a formative experience in my relationship with house music.
Wait - so are you saying I shouldn't have reposted your proof of talking to Thomas Bangalter on the Coachella facebook page, because it's not truth? Trick, why you be all trickin the kids and shit?
Oh shut the fuck up. Think about what I post? If you couldn't sense from the tone of my post that I'm playing into the perpetual Daft Punk rumor mill, then you're a god damn moron. "Think about what you post before you post it." Please.

Hi everyone!
My husband and I are hoping to visit Burma/Myanmar at the end of the year.
Our dates will be Dec 28th - Jan 11th. We want to spend a maximum of 3 days in Thailand, and the rest of our time in Myanmar. We are a young, newly wed South African couple, but we don't want to have anything to do with the party scene in Thailand. We would only be after a day or two at a quiet beach, and some time to sample the local flavours and culture and natural beauty. Off the beaten track is what we are after.
And then for Mynanmar, I don't know very much about it at all. It looks incredible beautiful and unspoilt, and rich in culture and natural beauty. That is exactly what we are wanting to see. Can anyone recommend a rough itinerary for us? I have hgeard rumblings about safety worries and political unrest. Has anyone been lately that can offer any information on that? Any information on Visa requirements for South Africans?
I have read that its possible to get them in Thailand (we will be flying into Bangkok and then onto Myanmar) so could get our visa then? We would prefer to spend the 2-3 days in Thailand after Myanmar, so around the 9th January.
Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much!

Hi everyone!

Take a look at some of the (now) many trip reports on Burma. I have two, from 2009 and 2011. The itinerary for the 2009 trip is the one I'd recommend for you. Click on my name to find my trip reports.
You will need a visa in advance, but do look at the consulate's website to see the exact requirements for you. It would be best to get your visa in advance in your own country. Otherwise, you will need several days in Bangkok to get the visa issues. Another option is to have your local travel agent in Burma get a pre-arranged visa for you.
You are rather late to be planning this trip. Burma has limited tourism infrastructure, so getting hotel reservations may be difficult. You will want to contact a local travel agent in Yangon. We used Santa Maria Travels for both of our trips, but there are many reputable agents there.
If you just want a few days of beach, you might see if you can get beach reservations in Burma.
I did more reading on Burma than on any other country I've visited. It pays to prepare well. Here is a reading list: www.fodors.com/community/asia/kathies-burma-bookshelf.cfm
You will want a copy of the Lonely Planet Guide, but be aware that accommodation prices have doubled or tripled since the book was published.
Happy planning!
PS - Yes, there is unrest in Burma, and there will no doubt be continued unrest for decades to come. Do some of the reading and you will better understand why. Still, your chances of being caught in violence are miniscule. Mostly, the areas of unrest are off limits.

I like to suggest you stay in Thailand until January 1st to celebrate the New Year and then start your Myanmar trip. For Thailand I like to suggest you only stay in Bangkok as you don't have a lot of time and if you stay at a hotel by the river then you can enjoy the fireworks display for the New Year.
The typical cities to visit in Myanmar will be Yangon, Inle Lake, Bagan and, not my favourite, Mandalay. I love all except Mandalay which IMO did not offer much interest for me. Do read Kathie and others trip report to help you understand the country better. I have some pictures from a few years ago which might help you as well.

From google here are some visa information for South Africans: http://www.dfa.gov.za/consular/visareqsapassholders.html
Looks like there's an embassy or consulate in your country so try contacting them.

I think the most important thing Kathie has told you is how late it is for you to be planning a trip to Burma for December. I did my own planning and booking last year, started in June for a trip in November and had a difficult time booking hotels and guest houses even 5 months in advance. I ultimately found that I was able to change accommodations after arrival but would not have gone had I not had places to stay reserved in advance.
I've found in other countries around the world it's possible to book upscale places when the more affordable options are full. But in Burma it's the nicer places that book up early leaving less expensive options without online booking available after arrival. But I don't think I'd count on it.
Flights and boats were booked by our Yangon hosts which helped with logistics and I think made it possible to pull together when we had difficulty getting the services of a travel agent. I'd say if you can't find accommodations & flights very soon you might want to postpone the Burma trip. If this is the only time you have and aren't successful very soon there are loads of lovely places to visit in SE Asia that don't suffer from the crush that Burma is experiencing.

Thank you so much @Kathie & @Hanuman for the info. We are a little late in organising the trip, but hopefully we can still organise a wonderful trip.
Thank you again for those reading lists and info

I am driven forward by that most malicious of fallacies, the sheer lie of legacy. Braver men than I have perished in their quest for the unattainable.

For that which, perhaps, does not even exist. Better men. Smarter men. Stronger men.

"This is an exemplary autobiographical novel. Never is there the slightest hint of narcissism or self-pity. The major events in the fall of Vietnam are painted in delicate strokes, through the daily existence of a woman who has to reinvent herself elsewhere. A tragic journey described in a keen, sensitive and perfectly understated voice."
—Governor General's Literary Award jury citation
"Gloriously, passionately, delicately unique…. A remarkable book; one that has well-earned every note of praise it has received."
—The Chronicle Journal
"Powerful and engaging.... In short entries that read lyrically and poetically—but also powerfully, pungently, and yet gently, dispassionately—Ru blends politics and history, celebration and violence within a young girl's imaginative experience…. [I]ts hybrid and enchanted voice conjur[es] a love song out of chaos and pain, singing and rilling its simplicities."
—Winnipeg Free Press
"In a series of vignettes which extend from wartime Vietnam to the hospitable precincts of Quebec, Kim Thúy writes with equal delicacy and candor about a childhood marked by horrifying brutality, and the pleasures of ordinary peace. A brave and moving book, bringing lucid insight both to the costs of violence, and elusive processes of psychic survival."
—Eva Hoffman, author of Lost in Translation

Wouldn�t it be nice to have a marriage counselor for a friend? And wouldn�t it be nice to have a friend as a marriage counselor? Everyone is who is married�happily or aspiring to be happy�needs to continually examine and reinforce all those wonderful positive reasons you chose your mate�and chose to stay with your mate for all those days, months, years, decades�lifetimes. Marriage isn�t easy or perfect. It�s a special relationship that you have to work hard to make work.
OK, so how do you make a marriage work? Well, first you shatter all the myths about skipping down the daisy-lined paths along the white picket fence. Life isn�t like what we see in some of those movies and television shows that make it all seem so easy. Barbara knows. She�s been there, done that�and shares her life in personal disclosures that are comfortable and instructive. Readers will feel that they are building a friendship with this author, sitting over a cup of coffee�or herbal tea�at the table in cozy breakfast nook.
Barbara (we�re feeling that first-name comfort now) will tell you what works and what doesn�t. Her life and experience as a therapist, combined with her work as a consultant and professional speaker, enable her to really get her points across in ways that we can understand, relate to, and put to work.
Challenges in your marriage? Lay �em out. Is the commitment really there? Can I count on you? I married you because you were perfect; now change! You�re just like your father, mother, brother, sister, etc. Why don�t we do things together? Money, intimacy, kids. Just about everything you can imagine will bubble to the surface in these pages. You�ll read the myths and the realities. Stories, case studies, tools and end-of- chapter quizzes enhance the value of this book. No index: doesn�t need one, but there is a helpful section of resources at the end of the book.
You�ll learn. You�ll laugh. You�ll shake your head and nod your head. You�ll read sections to your spouse. And, as you share the concepts of this book, your marriage will become even stronger. Extra note for business owners, executives, and managers, many of the things you read just might have some application for a different kind of marriage: the relationship between employer and employee.
Warning: Don�t expect to read this book at one sitting. There�s too much content to absorb that quickly. Besides, because you�ll want to share with others too frequently, your reading will be constantly interrupted! (Bestselling author and contributing editor for "The Futurist" magazine)

Hey Guys,
It's been a long time since I last posted in here, and that's probably due to Real Life getting the better of me. I am beginning to come untethered again and started thinking more about Game Design and Magic Systems.
So background: I have been reading Stormed Fortress by Janny Wurts, and in this book (and the many that lead up to it) there have been instances of the Characters working arcane conjury in teams, where one character will create a framework on which other casters build. This got me thinking to how this could be expressed within a game.
My first thoughts were along the lines that if there is a framework being built of small components of a spell, that they could be built similarly to, say, World of Goo. Different Sigils or Cantrips could become the "goo-ball" on which a player could start building their spell. Different Sigils would then join and interact with the existing ones in specific ways (either by how many joins to other Sigils they can make, or refuse to make connections with certain sigils for example).
The "Spell" could then be built from some key components. The first being the basis, which could be the type of spell that is being cast, then the size of the spell to indicate the strength or power of the spell, and finally the Sigils on the "surface" of the spell structure could form the intent of the spell.
Obviously this kind of working is not for casting you "fireball" type spells, but, for example, for solving complex puzzles (such as a very specific spelled shield of a city).
By having a structure that is being built in real-time will also allow for Groups of people to work together to create some arcane conjury structure, or allow for others to battle within a conjury structure to subvert its intended purpose.
So, what kind of systems do you guys think could be used to achieve group casting. Do you think my example of the "structure" would actually work within a game. Are there any improvements to this initial idea that you can forsee?
