Jack Evans, Ward 2: his bobbleheads, signed and numbered

Posted on 06/14/2006 6:53:25 AM PDT by freepatriot32
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A nanny who was arrested after police viewed hidden camera video recordings that appeared to show her shaking a 5-month-old baby is suing the recording system's manufacturer.
Claudia Muro, 32, alleges that distorted camera footage wrongfully led to her arrest and imprisonment. She was arrested in October 2003 and spent two years awaiting trial before prosecutors dropped the case because of concerns about the tape.
The footage was broadcast on television around the country.
The lawsuit was filed against Boca Raton-based Tyco Fire & Security, according to a report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
Broward County prosecutors in March said experts they had consulted concluded the footage was not reliable as evidence because its videotape was time-lapsed, meaning that the movements that appeared to be rough shaking might not have been as violent as they appeared.
Robert McKee, Muro's civil attorney, told the Sun-Sentinel that the footage was misleading and caused his client to spend a long time in jail. He said there should be a warning to the consumer about the images.
Messages left by The Associated Press early Wednesday for McKee and Allison Gilman, Muro's criminal defense attorney, were not immediately returned.
Nor was a message left for the communications department of Tyco. A company official had told the Sun-Sentinel it does not discuss pending litigation.
Is this suggesting that the broadcast was not the source of the tort? How can the manufacturer be held responsible for what the buyer did with the property?
Knock, knock??
We knew this was coming.
Yep, and next will be the book about the suit about the hidden-camera manufacturer. And then after that will be the movie about the book about the suit...
Oh jeeze, I definitely have to start a "Stupidity out of Florida" ping list.
How would they have made the payments on their new BMWs???
The critical missing piece of information is whether or not the infant suffered any sort of injury or trauma, and that should have been determined by any medical examination, either by the child's pediatrician or via hospital records.
This doesn't pass the sniff test, IMHO.
Tort reform = loser pays.
This is the reason for tort reform.
This is 100% an intimidation suit.
Keep in mind if there are punative damages the state gets a significant piece of that award.
The camera maker's attorney fee award should be charged to the plaintiff lawyer PERSONALLY.
I wonder if she had an explanation for the full body slams? Lens malfunction making objects look more wobbly from a distance or something?
This is exactly why my child will never be in day care.
Uhhhh, so the fact this Nanny's handa and the baby's shoulders were shown to be eight inches behind the baby's bend over head on one frame and then eight inches in front of the baby's bent back head in the next means absolutely nothing?
Why not sure George Eastmann's estate for inventing the camera? How about John Logie Baird's estate since it was shown on a TV?
I have always said you can't pay someone to love your children.
I am also aware that single parents need daycare...
In Florida there are many areas of law where the user pays the lawyer fee.
The problem is that it DOES NOT MATTER AGAINST A PENILESS PLAINTIFF.
This is a suit the lawyer should never have taken. What this is about is extending the "proximate cause" concept to absurdity. (ie suing a ski mask maker for a bank robbery)
The goal here is to force a settlement and use the PR to push BIGGER suits for the law firm.
If people want to be USEFUL, file "friend of the court" memoranda when the camera company files a motion to dismiss.
"Warning: There is a hidden camera above this warning label. The images it takes may..."
The lawyers bringing this case to court should be disbarred.
Given that it was time-lapse, she wasn't "slamming" the child on the floor -- in reality, she was gently lowering the child to the floor, raising the child, then gently lowering the child to the floor, over and over.
That's her story and she's sticking to it.
Cases like this could easily be dismissed, but the people who know how to do this are lawyers, who don't make any money by doing that.
It was proven that the infant did not suffer any injury or truma.
The problem was that the time lapse aspect of the footage turned the picture of a nanny playing with the baby into a picture of someone abusing the baby.
The nanny has a case, but not against the camera manufacturer. I think the couples attorney (or prosecuter), who should have done a better job of checking it out before filing with the court.
This has been a miscarrage of justice thus far.
Ah! I gotcha--it was just a fun game she and the little tot were playing, and that dang nanny cam malfunctioned and made it look bad.
And when we saw the kid's neck whipping back and forth, in reality, the child was just performing several advanced yoga moves designed to over extend the neck. Gotcha!
Dang technology! ;-)
"Oh jeeze, I definitely have to start a "Stupidity out of Florida" ping list."
Here's one for you, I posted it on another thread earlier today:
"Early this morning I was listening to KRLD radio in Dallas, they were discussing the Mav's game with another station in florida. They were talking about how the Florida people were all dressed in white. The florida DJ (a woman) made the comment, "we were dressed in white because we wanted to look like the Ku Klux Klan so the Mav's would feel at home." What the hell was that supposed to mean????"
What you need to know is that the system didn't record at a real-time rate of 30 frames per second, but at something like 5 frames a second. So everything looked exagerrated and outrageously violent.
I saw a re-enactment of this specific case on a Court TV show a couple of months ago. They showed somebody in a split-screen of 5 frames per second and 30 frames per second doing simple stuff like picking up a doll and putting it in a crib, and it showed exactly how false this "evidence" was.
Yes, I say the camera/recorder manufacturer is solely responsible for her imprisonment.
Heck, I would of welcomed a nuclear strike on their headquarters.
Maybe the Texans can wear pink tutus to make the South Florida fruitcakes feel at home.
I bet the nanny is pretty shook up!
Ok found a link for a basis of my earlier post:
The only new development was that an actual expert pointed out that time lapse video had been snapped- off at between four and seven images a second, compared to 60 images on a television-quality tape, creating a herky-jerky illusion.
''There was no assault,'' said Grant Fredericks, a former police officer and a noted instructor in forensic video analysis. ``It was so obvious to me and obvious to any forensic video analyst who looked at the tape.''
Indeed, an expert hired by the Broward state attorney's office came to the same conclusion.
"How can the manufacturer be held responsible for what the buyer did with the property? "
Same argument applies to firearms... or anything for that matter...
LMAO! Too bad the Texas DJ's didn't think of that one.
The Texas DJ should have told the Florida DJ they can wear white to the wake after the Mavericks bury the Heat and win the NBA championship!
Just the other day there was some judge on the west side of the state who decided to have his two presenting attorneys settle their case using rock-paper-scissors.

In about ten minutes, I'll be twitterviewing Daniel Pak, the frontman for the hometown reggae group Kore Ionz. I'll be asking him about their recent show at a juvenile detention center, their upcoming feature at this summer's Bumbershoot, and how the group weaves together disparate cultures and sounds to create their groove-tastic tunes.
I do these newfangled twitterviews every Thursday at 1 PM, and it's real simple: if you have a Twitter account, follow @swreverb and @koreionz, and you can see the conversation happen real-time. Another sorely underutilized aspect of following the interview is that you can comment on what's being said, and we might even respond! Just make sure to reply to us using the @ symbol, and it'll come up on our feed. And if you don't have a Twitter account... I mean, what's going on? I can talk you through it. I'm here to help.
Follow the twitterview, and look out for more blog posts from me. I'm locked in! (@iamdiddy).

Stage 3: Customizing Setup
In this stage of the Internet Explorer Customization wizard, corporate administrators can determine the way that Setup will appear and work:
Customize the CD-ROM Autorun screen if you are creating a CD-ROM package.
Customize additional CD-ROM options if you are creating a CD-ROM package.
Customize Windows Update Setup Wizard for Internet Explorer and Other Internet Tools.
Determine whether you want to install the package "silently," with few or no prompts to the user.
Specify up to ten installation options and determine which components are included with each option.
Specify up to ten sites from which your package will be downloaded. You can specify up to ten sites, unless you are a corporate administrator performing a silent install.
Specify how users will receive updates to their components.
Specify where you want Internet Explorer to be installed on your users' computers and whether users can change the installation location.
Determine whether users can customize Setup, whether uninstall information is installed, whether Internet Explorer can be installed side-by-side with a previous version, and whether Internet Explorer is the default browser.
Specify that Setup detects if a component exists and fine-tune which components users can customize.
Determine whether components you've downloaded, but haven't added to all packages, will be made available to users through the Automatic Install feature.
Import a custom profile from or create a new profile with the Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK). The CMAK is installed with the Internet Explorer Administration Kit.
Specify whether you want to integrate Web browser functionality into your desktop and folders. This functionality is integrated into Windows 98.
Specify certification authority information, if you have a digital certificate, so you can sign programs as you build your Internet Explorer Administration Kit package.
The UNIX functionality in the Internet Explorer Administration Kit supports the more common UNIX method of installing the customized product on only a few servers. Users can then run Internet Explorer from this location rather than installing the product locally. This configuration is recommended for UNIX installations. Internet Explorer 5 Setup, which downloads .cab files, is not available on UNIX operating systems.
Unlike Internet Explorer 32-bit versions of the browser, 16-bit and UNIX versions of the browser do not perform digital signature verification. Programs or cabinet files for these operating systems do not need to be signed.
Customize Setup
You can customize how Setup appears to your users. You can change the title bar and the graphic that appears when users run the Windows Update Setup wizard. If you provide a group of customized components, you can assign a name to them.
Setup wizard title bar text
This text appears in the title bar of the Setup wizard your users run. This text does not appear in the title bar of the customized browser. You can customize the browser title later in the Internet Explorer Customization wizard.
Left Setup wizard bitmap path
These graphics will customize the appearance of the Setup wizard. You should avoid using graphics with complex lines and patterns. 32-bit versions of the browser: The Setup wizard contains two 256-color bitmaps. The left vertical bitmap (on the first Setup wizard page) is 162 x 312 pixels. The top horizontal bitmap (on the remaining Setup wizard pages) is 496 x 56 pixels. The horizontal graphic appears behind some Setup instructions, so use a bitmap that won't interfere with readability. 16-bit versions of the browser: The Setup wizard contains one bitmap that is 162 x 312 pixels. A 16-color bitmap is recommended.
Top Banner Setup wizard bitmap path
Type the path to a bitmap or click Browse to locate the path to the image. The bitmap must be 496 x 96 pixels.
Custom Components Installation Title
You can install custom components when you install the customized browser. If you have specified more than one custom component, you can name them as a group; for example, you might have a group of components named Volcano Coffee Company Inventory Programs. This name appears in the Setup wizard when your users install their custom packages. Enter the title you want to appear.
Silent Install
This screen allows administrators to specify how much interaction users can have with the installation.
If you want to provide an interactive installation for your users, in which they make installation decisions, click Interactive install.
If you want to provide a "hands-free" installation, in which users aren't prompted to make decisions but are informed of the installation progress and errors, click Hands-free install.
If you want your users to install the customized browser without receiving prompts, click Completely silent install. You should select this option when you want to control all setup options and suppress feedback to the user. Selecting this check box is the same as installing Internet Explorer with the /Q:A switch. This mode is not interactive, and users will not have control over its progress. If installation does not finish successfully, users will not see an error message. You might consider using this feature for installations deployed when the user is not present. To fine-tune the installation, you can use additional Internet Explorer batch setup switches.
A silent installation (Hands-free or Completely silent) does the following:
Answers prompts that enable Setup to continue.
Accepts the license agreement.
Specifies that Internet Explorer will be installed and not just downloaded.
Carries out the type of installation that you specify (such as Standard or Custom). You will set this option later in the Internet Explorer Customization wizard.
Installs Internet Explorer in the location you specify, unless Internet Explorer is already installed. In that case, the new version of the browser is installed in the same location as the previous version.
Connects to the first download site specified in the Internet Explorer Administration Kit. You will provide a list of download sites later in the Customization wizard.
Note: In a silent install, you can specify only one installation option and one download site for your users.
Installation Options
You can specify up to ten installation options, such as Standard and Custom, and determine which standard and custom components are installed with each. If you are a corporate administrator and you have specified a silent installation, you will have only one option. For the UNIX version of Internet Explorer, you will determine which available components will be a part of your Setup package. To move items from the Components available area to the Components to install area, click the arrows.
Select the default installation option you want, or click New to create a new setup option. Type the description for the option, and then add or remove the components you want by clicking the arrows. Corporate administrators might want to specify setup options for different branches of your company.
Type a description of the installation option, such as a list of components and programs that are installed. This text appears in the Windows Update Setup wizard that users will see. Provide enough information so that users can make a decision about which software to install.
Components available
The list of available components includes the Internet Explorer components you have downloaded and any custom components you have defined. To add components to this list, return to Stage 2 of the wizard.
Components to Install
This list shows the components that will be installed with the option that appears in the Option box. Click the single arrows to add or remove a single component or the double arrows to add or remove all available components.
Note: If you are installing Internet Explorer 5 on a computer that has never run Internet Explorer 4, and you want your users to have channels, add the Offline Browsing Pack to your installation.
Available Components
In addition to being able to specify up to ten custom components (see Add Custom Components in Stage 2), the Internet Explorer Administration Kit includes the following component options:
AOL ART Image Format Support
Internet Explorer Browsing Enhancements
Offline browsing pack
Arabic Text Display Support
Internet Explorer core fonts
Outlook Express
Chat 2.5

Internet Explorer 5 Web Browser
Windows Media Player Codecs
Component Download Site
You must specify at least one download site, using an HTTP or FTP server, for your users to download your package from. You can specify up to ten sites. You must place all the Microsoft components and custom components at each URL you specify below. Note: The Internet Explorer Administration Kit will not check the validity of the listed Web server, nor will it copy the installation files to the Web server.
Site Name
You can specify a friendly name that helps to identify the site. Do not use commas in the name.
Site URL
Type the URL for your site. The file Ie5sites.dat will be added or updated and a subfolder for the language of the package, such as EN for English, will be appended to the URL.
Site Region
Type the location of the site, such as the city, state, region, or country.
Custom download sites
The sites you specify will be listed in this column. If the first site is down (for example, as a result of server problems), Setup will not be able to locate the remaining sites by default. A workaround involves overwriting the first site with the following command:
Component Downloads
When a new version of Internet Explorer is available, users can update Internet Explorer by clicking the Tools menu and then clicking Windows Update in 32-bit versions of the browser. Users may also see this page when they click Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, click Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Tools, and then click Add/Remove.
The default location for obtaining product updates is on the site(s) where users downloaded their customized browsers, but you can specify your custom add-on page.
Download components from Microsoft sites after install
Selecting this check box specifies that all components will be downloaded from Microsoft sites after installation.
URL of Add-on Component page
If you want users to obtain software updates from another location, specify a different URL.
Note: The configuration ID and version number available in previous versions of the Internet Explorer Administration Kit, which formerly appeared on this screen, are no longer necessary. These values are generated automatically. The customizations, or branding, that you generate with the Internet Explorer Administration Kit will always get installed, regardless of version number or configuration ID.
Installation Directory
This screen lets administrators choose the installation path. Requiring the installation to occur in a specific location is a good idea because it helps enforce standards throughout an organization. A standard install path that cannot be changed by users makes things like service, patches, and remote software inventories easier to accomplish.
To allow the user to change the location that you specify, select the Allow the user to choose the installation directory check box. If you select this check box, the selection you make below appears as the default location.
If you click Install in the specified folder within the Windows folder or Install in the specified folder within the Program Files folder, Internet Explorer will be installed in the subfolder shown in the box.
If you select the Specify the full path of a custom folder check box, you can enter the path you want. If this path doesn't exist on the user's hard disk, it is created.
Notes: If Internet Explorer is already installed on the user's computer, the new version is installed over the existing version. The customized browser is not installed in the custom location you specify.
The UNIX functionality in the Internet Explorer Administration Kit supports the more common UNIX method of installing the customized product on only a few servers. Users can then run Internet Explorer from this location rather than installing the product locally. If you need to install Internet Explorer locally, specify the location on this screen of the wizard.
Corporate Install Options
These options help control how Internet Explorer installation will interact with each client computer. Choices are usually made based on corporate policy, but here are a few things to keep in mind: if users can't change components, there is better software standardization in an organization. Also, administrators can save a few megabytes on each client hard-drive by not saving uninstall information, but this limits the ability to roll back if there are compatibility issues during deployment. Finally, users typically like to be able to choose their favorite browser as the default; administrators typically like to choose it for them.
Disable Custom Installation option
Users can add or remove components to further customize setup. To prevent users from adding or removing specific components, select this check box.
Disable saving uninstall information
Setup automatically saves uninstall information. To save disk space, you can disable this feature by selecting this check box. However, users will not then be able to remove Internet Explorer 5 by clicking the Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel.
Disable Internet Explorer Compatibility mode
With the Internet Explorer compatibility option, users can run Internet Explorer 4 on the same computer as Internet Explorer 5. To disable this feature, select this check box.
Default browser options
Choose one of the three options to determine whether or not Internet Explorer is the default browser, and whether or not users can make this choice. The default browser runs when users open .htm, .html, and other associated file types. This option also determines whether Windows Media Player is the default program for playing multimedia files.
Note: If you are using a silent installation or customizing Internet Explorer for Microsoft Office deployment by using the Office Custom Install wizard, user options for Internet Explorer will not be displayed during Setup.
Advanced Installation Options
You can further customize Setup by having Setup detect whether a component exists and by fine-tuning which components users can add if they customize Setup. Internet Explorer Setup can detect whether the same version of a component is already installed on a user's computer. If the same component is already installed, then Internet Explorer will not download it. Even if users are allowed to customize an installation, the administrator can still prevent specific components from being removed. The administrator simply selects the components that users cannot customize.
Optimize for Web download
Setup can detect whether the same version of a component is already installed on your user's computer. If a version of the same component is already installed, and it will work with Internet Explorer 5, then Setup will not download it. This can save download time.
Prevent users from customizing Setup for specific components
If your users can customize their installations, but you don't want them to customize specific components, clear the check boxes for those components. Force Install will appear in the right column beside the components that will automatically be installed with the browser.
Components on Media
The components in this list have been downloaded to your computer but have not been included in a Setup option. The components you select can be made available for installation if users attempt to use a feature that requires these components; this feature is called Automatic Install.
Connection Manager Customization
The Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK) can be used to create a customized and branded Connection Manager Services profile for users. This is useful when a corporate administrator wishes to automatically distribute, configure, and manage dial-up connections for users.
The CMAK is a separate program that is included with the Internet Explorer Administration Kit. The CMAK Wizard can be accessed from the Customization Wizard by selected the "Start CMAK" option, or an existing profile can be used by checking the "Use custom profile" checkbox and entering the path to the Connection Manager services profile.
When you use the CMAK, it creates a self-extracting executable (*.exe) file that installs itself on your user's computer. You do not need to digitally sign the .exe file created by the CMAK before you include it in the Internet Explorer Administration Kit. When you sign the Internet Explorer Administration Kit files, the CMAK file is also signed.
Use Custom Profile
If you've already created a custom profile, type the path of the profile you want to use for this browser package. The profile specifies customized content and connection methods.
Note: A CMAK profile is not the same thing as a Dial-up Networking connection. See Appendix B for more information on how to create a custom connection profile by using the CMAK, and Appendix D for more information on Automatic Connections.
Windows Desktop Update
The Windows Desktop Update makes the desktop and folders look and work more like the Web. Although the Windows Desktop Update is not a part of Internet Explorer 5, you can include it with your Internet Explorer Administration Kit package. If your users are running Windows 98, they already have the desktop features.
If you choose to install the Windows Desktop Update, you can customize its settings later in the wizard, if your build computer is running one of the following configurations:
Internet Explorer 5 upgraded from Internet Explorer 4.0 with the Windows Desktop Update installed.
Internet Explorer 5 and Windows 98, which includes the new desktop.
This can be helpful in setting a corporate standard desktop.
Do you want to integrate the Windows Desktop Update in your custom package?
To install the Windows Desktop Update, click Yes. If you don't want to install it, click No.
Digital Signatures
With a publisher certificate from a recognized Certification Authority, administrators can have custom packages automatically signed. Digital signatures show where programs come from and verify that they haven't been altered. Customized browser packages and any custom programs should be digitally signed to ensure that users don't receive warnings when installing the custom browser. Users may be prevented from installing ActiveX controls and Java packages that aren't signed.
To prepare certificates, you can import them onto your computer by using the Certificate Manager Import wizard. If you have received a file with an .spc extension, you can start the Certificate Manager Import wizard by double-clicking the .spc file in Windows Explorer or My Computer.
You can also open the Certificate Manager from Internet Explorer. To do this, click the Tools menu, click Internet Options, click the Content tab, and then click Certificates. Click Import to start the Certificate Manager Import wizard, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
Company Name on certificate
If a publisher certificate is on the computer, its company name will appear in this list.
Software Publishing (.spc) file
Enter the name of the .spc file associated with the certificate, or click Browse to locate.
Private Key (.pvk) file
Enter the name of the .pvk file associated with the certificate, or click Browse to locate.
Description text
Enter the text that will appear on the dialog box that appears when users download programs that are signed with this certificate.
More information URL
Enter the URL that will appear in this dialog box so that users can obtain more information about the certificate and the company.

We already have a daughter, Layla, who is 17 months old. She was a 34 week preemie due to severe pre-e that developed at 29 weeks. She is the light of my life and I can't wait to see her as a big sister! She is such a little momma to her baby dolls already, I know she would love a real sibling!
Good luck ladies, and baby dust to everyone!! Looking forward to hopefully go throuigh this journey with all of you!

The Arctic is something that is in grave danger of being lost forever. Already, the past seven years have seen the lowest minimum sea ice coverage ever recorded and this year has joined the list. The repercussions are serious, and further decline of the Arctic sea ice can spiral towards fatal consequences. It is clear that the human footprint has profoundly altered the planet in ways that we never imagined.

Larceny charges for Pantego menPublished 9:13pm Friday, February 1, 2013
A report of metal stolen from an uninhabited house in Pantego led Beaufort County Sheriff's Office investigators to two Pantego men.
According to a sheriff's office press release, the owner of the residence reported that assorted metal items had been removed from the property on Swamp Road on Dec. 28, 2012. The stolen metal was sold at Foss Recycling Center in Belhaven, said Maj. Kenneth Watson, sheriff's office spokesman.
Leander Lee Bonner, 50, of Swamp Road, Pantego, with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering and obtaining property by false pretense. James Edward Ross, 67, also of Swamp Road, was charged with conspiracy to commit felony larceny. Patrol deputies arrested Bonner on Jan. 25 and he was held at the Beaufort County Detention Center under a $3,000 secured bond. Ross was arrested Saturday and held under a $5,000 secured bond.

Nouvelle Eve, Paris
Last Updated: 30th Sep 2014

by – David Hackett, Tour Manager, Europe

French Cabaret is something that is typically French and a great night of entertainment to be had by all. Including usually a meal of French inspired foods and French Champagne. A great introduction to Contiki for people at the start of the tour or a farewell dinner at the end. Classy and lots of good food & drink it is very popular on hotel tours, popular on some Concept tours, also popular with females and some males who try to show the ladies they are classy.

by – David Semmens, Tour Manager, Europe

Never have I ever had anyone leave thıs show dısappoınted…. the dancing, the costumes, the champagne, the comedians, the varıous acts, the unbelievable gymnast that hangs 6 metres above the stage unassisted by her neck on a trapeze… If you thınk ıts not you… your wrong. Nowhere else can you experience a show lıke thıs Fıts ın on most tours on theır last evenıng ın Parıs, generally after dınner. Usually 75 – 80% attendance wıth a 100% satısfactıon. mostly the gırls are sold straight away, because some guys thınk ıts a bıt blokey goıng to a show.

by – Jodie Frodsom, Tour Manager, Europe

Nouvelle Eve is a cabaret show that offers a diverse range of entertainment from your cancan dancers, to trapeze artists and acrobats with a few laughs and crowd participation thrown in. It is entertaining for both girls and guys and a perfect way to start a Parisian evening.

by – Chad Hartin, Tour Manager, Europe

One of my favourite excursions is the French Cabaret. Whether it is the Moulin Rouge or La Nouvelle Eve, it is a great evening for not only all of my passengers

Still, after about 60 visits myself, it is a great evening for me! The French Cabaret is the original Las Vegas Show ( all of them ) packed into one! You have magic, acrobatics, comedy, amazing sets and costumes as well as showgirls and dancing! To top it all off, great food and drink!

How else could you imagine spending either your first or last night in Paris? I may know all the words to the music and the acts but I still love it every time! Paris is the only place in the world you can see a "French Cabaret".

The Nouvelle Eve is a cabaret show in Paris that opens only during the summer months and is offered as an optional excursion to many Europe Tours visiting Paris.

I'm planning a serious ride and I need a serious touring bike for it.
What is the best expedition bike out there?
I'm planning a serious ride and I need a serious touring bike for it.
What is the best expedition bike out there?
This is like asking what the best road race bike is................ good luck with getting a straight answer.
Co-Motion Americano.
No, wait, Bruce Gordon Rock-n-Road.
No, no, it's the Salsa Fargo.
Or, it could be the Rivendell Atlantis.
Or perhaps a Thorn Sherpa.
Cannondale T2? Surly LHT?
Rocky Mountain Sherpa 30?
What's important to you? How much do you want to spend? What color paint do you like?
Thorn Raven Nomad is what I'd buy. All £2100 of it.
Also we are having a version of the BLT from Taiwan.
The Taiwan BLT will be 26" wheel in the 2 smallest sizes - 700c in the larger sizes.
Check them out a: http://bgcycles.com/BasicLoadedTouring.html

By "expedition" bike, do you mean something you can ride to China and back over dirt roads? For that kind of riding, I think the Giant Expedition 1.0 is a very good bike. Well, more like a tank than a bike. Very heavy and very durable. If you don't mind riding 8 mph everywhere you go as you haul 80 lbs of gear, this bike will get you there every time without breaking down. That's my idea of an expedition bike. The other bikes listed are touring bikes.
-- what's your budget?
-- where are you going?
-- what bikes have you liked/disliked in the past?
This couple rode 4000 miles across the US in 7 months on $129 Wal-Mart bicycles.
That's probably the low end of acceptable bikes. Others have spent in excess of $6000 on custom built expedition bikes. I really couldn't say which was the more successful touring bike.
I am waiting with bated breath for this answer.
Suntree, Fl.
Burley Hudson (n+3)
Scattante CFR (n+2)
LeMond Buenos Aries (steel)(n+1)
Trek 7500 (n)
You may be baiting us, and we're drifting off topic, but the correct word is "bated.
Mine is
The Cannondale offroad tourer is quite nice. I like the headshock. Feels fine on the road, haven't taken one off road but it is good on cobblestones and jumping off curbs (DON'T tell the bike shop I did that on a test ride...). I prefer it over the Koga Miyata, which is also nice, but they wouldn't let me test ride it in Cairns...
See http://www.gurdon.cam.ac.uk/~ad327/i...8/kitlist.html for details.
I cringe every time I see the word "best" in a question. I just know that we're not going to get anywhere with it. What's the best shoe? What's the best pencil? What's the best car? What's the best dog? What's the best bread? What's the best beer?
Hi Cosmicsurfer - the others make a good point as the answer for the best bike is not easy... assuming you are looking for a serious tourer in terms of long term reliability, check out the german company tout terrain. they are sold by peter white http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/tout-terrain.asp and are specialized on touring bikes and make suspended and unsuspended models of touring bikes.
I think everyone knows Avaghon makes the best expedition bikes.
I think Thorn makes the coolest expedition bikes.
If I were to buy another bike for touring or in general
actually I would buy a Thorn. Great reviews and relatively
The best beer is probably Fat tire, at least where I'm at.
The best dog is a absolute tie between my Belgian Malinois, and my Miniature Poodle.
At least thats what "I" think!
Which doesn't ammount to more than thought...

What to do in Oklahoma on June 25, 2013: See Lyric Theatre's "Tarzan" at the Civic Center Music Hall (with video)
Today's featured event:
See Lyric Theatre's staging of the Oklahoma premiere of the musical "Tarzan," based on the story by Edgar Rice Burroughs and Disney's 1999 animated film, at 7:30 p.m. today, Wednesday and Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday at Civic Center Music Hall, 201 N Walker. Information: 524-9312 or www.lyrictheatreokc.com.
Lyric is opening their 50th anniversary season with the show, reports The Oklahoman Fine Arts Editor Rick Rogers.
The character of Tarzan has long been ingrained in the public's consciousness, through film (played most notably by Johnny Weissmuller), television (Ron Ely) and Disney's animated film (voiced by Tony Goldwyn).
"Anytime you're dealing with a character like Tarzan that has some historical context, I think it's important to honor the past and the great guys who have played the character before," Nicholas Rodriguez, who is playing Tarzan, told Rick. "You use what's available to you and add your own take to the character."
Directed by Michael Baron with choreography by Ashley Wells, this production marks the Oklahoma premiere of the Disney musical. Heading the cast are Rodriguez as Tarzan, Felicia Boswell as Kala, Steve Blanchard as Kerchak, Heather Botts as Jane and Jamard Richardson as Terk.
As in Burroughs' novel, Tarzan is raised by Kala, a gorilla who adopts the young boy after his parents are killed.
Given that the story of "Tarzan" unfolds in the jungle, the title character and his simian friends are naturally expected to take flight. Daniel Stover, director of AntiGravity Orlando, is supervising the flying sequences in Lyric's production of "Tarzan," Rick reports.
Adding such sequences to a stage production places yet another demand on performers who are already asked to act and sing. For Rodriguez, it also means appearing on stage wearing just a loincloth, Rick reports.
"Jeffrey (Meek, Lyric's costume designer) told me that loincloths weren't something he made on a daily basis," Rodriguez told Rick laughing. "It's basically just a few strips of leather and it's awfully short. It's funny that a couple of inches here or there can require so much attention."

Fool for Love
Seventeen years ago, Bain Boehlke directed (and was featured in) a production of Sam Shepherd's Fool for Love, a striking drama about a pair of lovers locked in a seemingly endless power struggle. It was presented at the original Jungle Theater location, which was a tiny storefront venue. It was the first show I ever saw at Boehlke's theater, and I was instantly hooked (I saw the production twice that summer), and I attended shows for nearly a decade before moving to the Twin Cities. Boehlke brings the play back in a new production at the theater's present, slightly larger, location — just a block or so away from where the original show played. While this is a new effort, there is some DNA from the original. Terry Hempleman returns as Eddie, one of the lovers at the center of the story. He is joined by Jennifer Blagen as May, Jason Peterson as Martin, and Allen Hamilton as the Old Man. Boehlke has also adapted the original staging for the larger space at the current Jungle, but the production promises to recapture the thrills and insights of the original. (Photo by Drew Trampe)

Just joining here after finally realizing I need more help than just charting and opks, which I've been doing since April. I got pregnant and was due in March, but had a missed miscarriage resulting in a D&C in September.
I'm currently taking baby aspirin, red raspberry leaf capsules, vitamin d(blood test showed I was very low), folic acid and prenatals. Each month I get my + opk and temp rise then nothing.
Well this week I went to the ER with abdominal pain, turns out I had a 3cm hemorrhagic cyst rupture, 4 days after I think I ovulated. They also said I had endometriosis, but no details on that, to have my GP follow up on the visit.
Went to my GP today which was a waste of a copay, he pretty much just said to get my annual wellness exam from my regular OB/GYN. Called them and they were closed a few hours early, and I know it's gonna be hell to get an appointment like always.
I am on an HMO with DH now, used to have a PPO.i have two options: go to my regular OB ( who delivered DD) shes great but not a fertility expert. Or should I go to the doc who did my D&C who isn't covered by my ins but specializes in infertility and has a cash payment program. They said its $150 for the "whole workup" which includes ultrasounds and a few follow up visits, but does not include bloodwork.
Is this a good deal? Should I see my OB first before deciding? I guess I'm getting impatient and would hate to wait another month.
Sorry so long just don't have anyone else to talk to who would understand.

My husband and I are not religious but still like the idea of our son having the equivelent of "godparents" only without the teaching religion part. Just a couple people to always be there for him and act as a mentor in life. Anyone else doing this?
Non religious "godparents"
First time mom to Jackson Miles 8/24/09!
Absolutely! We joke that his duties are to slip her an extra $20 at Xmas. =)
�� � � � ~Lindsay~ ��
�� � �Rehtaeh 8-30-09
Yes, we do this. My friend/her godfather will also be the person who takes care of DD in case anything happens to me and my partner.
Depending on what religion and church you pick there are some rules in getting baptised and recieving godparents. Most churches will not do it unless you been a member for 6mos or longer, and if it is catholic you must pick at least one catholic godparent. So you should look into to it all before you do since you are not religous.
Alicia & Jonathan 8yrs Married,11yrs together, Hannah 4yo, Noah 1yo, Leah 2/14/2011
i am not religious either but was thinking about the same thing. Are you doing it in a chruch or have some kind of legal document drawn up? i dont know how to go about doing it thats why i ask.
Single~FTM to my pretty cranio baby Peyton Olivia 8-18-09
We are on the other side!! :)
I'm a godparent to my friend's oldest daughter. I am not religious, her church accepted it. They're methodist if that helps.
Myla~Dec. '14
That would be a guardian, not a godparent.

I'm Catholic, LO was baptized Catholic, & neither of his Godparents are Catholic. In the Catholic religion, it depends on your church. One church might require it & the one down the street will not. Gotta love the inconsistencies of the Catholic religion...one of the many things I'm not a fan of.
But I like your idea. I'm not looking for LO's Godparents to push religion on him in anyway. More an additional adult to turn to & have fun with. I have the most fond memories of my Godparents & the fun things they took me to do as a child...and the extra $ they slipped me as I got older...and still do on occasion! lol
Grant Anderson W. 8/29/09 - on his due date! Carter Harrison W. 9/7/11 - one day late!
no I would think a guardian would be someone they would name legally to take full responsibility to their child if they were to die....
I think it is a good idea... someone else in their life besides their parents who they feel comfortable talking to, about whatever is on their mind.
That's exactly what we did. We didn't have a church service, but he has godparents. I choose his godmother and SO choose his godfather. Maybe we'd switch if we had another.
It's a priviledge to be my little man's mama.
I have not read the other responses. I will tell you what we did. WE have 3 daughters ages almost 9 months, 4 and 5. We know of a man rentarev.com he does a Christian baptism anywhere that you would like. Your home, restaurant, etc. You can have who ever you like as godparents. To me, they are mentors to help them through life. When they are older and don't want to talk to me...I want them to feel comfortable with those people. It is doable...just takes some looking. Good luck

Fetus, like infant, or adolescent, is a stage of human development. Although I personally call this little one inside me "baby" technically it is no more accurate than calling it teenager or adult.
I used to get offended too when I'd hear people correct mothers and say "Its not a baby, it's a fetus". In general, I still do, cuz I always get the feeling their saying "it's not a person, it's a fetus".
When it comes down to it though, it really is, technically/ medically a fetus. And in several months it will be an infant. In another year it will be a todler. And on and on until geriatric adult.

Adam Levine catches Holocaust AIDs from Honey Boo Boo
THERE is now so much entertainment out there theta the EU's celebrity silos are at breaking point. You can know about people being famous whilst having no idea why they are famous. Take Adam Levine an Honey Boo.
I've only ever read about them in magazines on on the internet. A quick look reveals that Honey Boo Boo is the child star of a pisspoor reality telly show in which she is ridiculed by the knowing in exchange for being written about and having bars of fat tossed into her cage. Levine has tattoos, stiff hair and current fashions. He is either a footballer (which he isn't) or a pop singer (which he is).
Adam is also a judge on a TV pro-am singing contest called The Voice, in which he pretends to be blind.

TV's job is to showcase a stereotype. Honey Boo and her mother are held up to be mocked. Get a load of the arsehat in beige asking how "funny" it is that mama knows the word "hiatus".

This charming man served 10 years jail time for having forced oral sex on an 8-year-old girl.
TLC thought broadcasting the show featuring mum's new lover would be a step too far. After all, the Boo Boo clan are paid, and some of TLC's cash might end up in McDaniel's pockets.

Everton: the phoney war to keep Barnsley boy Stones from Chelsea
Transfer Balls: The Sun reports that Everton are unhappy with Chelsea captain John Terry for trying to lure John Stones, 21, to Stamford Bridge.
Asked about JT's comments, Goodison chief Martinez said: "It is wrong — you know that it is illegal. The rules don't allow you to comment on players at other clubs in that open manner — and that is disappointing… I am not stupid enough to say I know what will happen but I've always said he is not for sale."
Everton have rejected bids of £20m and £26m for Stones. They have told Chelsea in writing that Stones is not for sale. But Terry hasn't got the message, opining on Wednesday:
"One day I won't be in the team but Chelsea are looking to the likes of John Stones for the future, so the club will continue to grow and do well."
The Guardian notes:
Everton appear content at present to register their complaint with Chelsea rather than with the authorities. Martínez added: "We have a fantastic relationship between the two clubs. In the past we made our biggest investment in Chelsea [when signing Romelu Lukaku]. We all know there are rules and regulations and it is something we don't want to see when other clubs speak about your players. It is wrong and it shouldn't happen. As clubs we have a good understanding of where we are."

Paleotechnology: A Curious Glimpse Into An 80s Computer Book
THERE"S always a good time to be had touring through old computer books, especially if there's lots to point at and laugh condescendingly. Technology has advanced so exponentially that a 1980s computer textbook may as well be ancient Sanskrit written on palm leaves. Suffice it to say, things have come a long way in just a short amount of time, and it's a lot of fun to look back. So, let's jump into Living With Computers by Patrick G. McKeown (1986).
"A complete computer system – user, software, CPU, internal memory, secondary storage, keyboard, monitor, and printer – is shown here."

Your Guidebook to Creating a Proper Heavy Metal Album Cover
A PRIME reason for heavy metal's success is that it is a culture unto itself. Fads come and go, but a culture has staying power. It comes with its own dress code, etiquette and idolatry. A small but important part of that culture is the album cover – the visual representation of the music, the heart of the heavy metal universe. If you're a metal band, it's imperative you get this facet right. So, let's tour through some metal covers from the 1980s, a time when heavy metal was king, and learn from their successes and failures.

Groom made bomb hoax call after failing to book wedding venue
WHEN Neil McArdle, 36, realised he'd made a mess of booking Liverpool Register Office, he called St George's Hall which houses the venue. He told them a bomb had been left in the building. It would detonate in 45 minutes.
He never did tell his bride-to-be, Amy Williams. She rocked up at the venue in full bridal wear. She found the place evacuated.

Paul Elliott booted by his own Kick It Out anti-racism thought police
SO. Farewell Paul Elliott, who has left his role as the Football Association's ambassador. He resigned. The former Celtic and Chelsea player, aged 48, was part of the FA's judicial panel and sat on a load of Uefa committees. He made a big noise as a mouthpiece for anti-discrimination body Kick It Out.
Says Elliott:
"Earlier this week, a former friend and business colleague, made public a text message I sent him, in which I used a term which is widely known as being derogatory to my own community. I regret using it; it is inappropriate and not part of my everyday vocabulary. As an advocate of high-standards of public behaviour, and integrity in public life, I know the use of this word sends out mixed messages and contradicts my position as a Kick It Out trustee. I will continue to be active in other projects in what I believe to be a true and just cause."

5ive canvas for new member… on Facebook
IT must be depressing being in a 90s boyband these days. Who remembers you? Barely no-one. If they do, they're invariably crazed old fans, ravaged by time and still lustily chasing after you while ignoring their furious partners and children.
And so, while Kavana and Gina G Skype each other about temping for office work, 5ive have decided to leave the 90s behind and get modern, by posting a classified on Facebook in a bid to find a new fifth member.

Chantelle And Preston's Phone Sex Honeymoon
REMEMBER when Big Brother stars Chantelle Houghton and Sam Preston were off on a second honeymoon – they were so in love that Preston wasn't even taking his American girlfriend on the trip?
The wedding is in the bag, so is the ITV2 fly-in-the-soap reality TV show and the kids' books. Just sign here, kids. Only, there is trouble in paradise, as the Star reports:
"It's no secret that Chantelle and Preston want to give it another go but their families are at war over the idea. Chantelle's clan are right behind the plan but Preston's folks can't stomach the idea in the slightest. They're dead against it."
No secret? It's so secret that even OK!, the Star's sister publication isn't sure about it, and neither is Preston. But – Think. Of. The. Money.
"It's made getting together in person really difficult, so at the minute they are keeping in touch on the phone."

Crash Test Honey: Infatable Dolls For Cars
"I HEARD a loud bang and went outside to see what was happening. I couldn't believe it," says Mavis Batty of the scene on Liverpool Road, Irlam.
"I'm amazed no one was killed. It looked like the emergency services were trying to get someone out of the back – maybe it was the rubber doll."
It was. In the back of the blue Fiesta the figure of a woman appears.
The driver and his passengers are not hurt. The rubber doll is full serviceable.

A Life In The Honeymoon Suite: 22 Years In A Travelodge
THE Express does not comment on David and Jean Davison's sex life. It does not pry.
All we know if that David and Jean live in a Travelodge and though they seem to be aged 79 and 70, respectively, they could be many years older.
Given the motel chain's reputation as a den of lunchtime inseminations, it might be that the story is less that David and Jean have been living in a Travelodge for 22 years than that their better halves have been waiting over two decades for the lovers to return from posting a letter.
But the story, as told by the Express, is that David and Jean reside at a motel in Grantham.
"We get great rates because we book well in advance and all our bed linen is laundered too," says David, pictured holding a cup of tea and enjoying views of the A1. "It doesn't get much better than that, does it?"
This is a rhetorical question because David swiftly delivers his coup de grace.
"We only have to walk across the car park for meals as there is a Little Chef here too."
And so the argument is with David. It does not get much better than this, although David and his lover did relocate to their current home from a Travelodge in Newark.
A spokesman for Travelodge is not unresponsive to his patron's loyalty.
Says Paul Anstey: "To recognise their loyalty, we are going to rename their room from Number One to the Davidson's Suite and mount a plaque in reception celebrating their 10th anniversary."
Great days, and no little sense of achievement. Can the same be said of Clive in sales or his new associate Ms Smith..?

Don't EU Forget: Referendum Newzzzzz And Gordon Brown's Honeymoon
THE problem with the EU is that it is so incredibly dull. It's not deliberatly dull, a ploy to lull us into a catatonic state while Hans and Peter and Lars talk of subsidies in a Belgian office block. Although it might be.
But at least the tabloid press try to get us excited. And EU Ref is on hand to interpret their fine words:
With that headline (Don't EU Forget), no one could ever accuse the Sun of subtlety.
Thus, on the back of a general opinion poll which gives Brown a five point lead over Cameron, it picks up the response to a referendum question. This shows a massive 81 percent in favour of a referendum on the new EU constitution treaty, with 66 percent strongly in favour of a poll. Only 17 percent agreed that Parliament should decide.
Devoting its lead editorial to the issue, the paper notes that Brown is halfway through his honeymoon period, head and shoulders above Cameron in almost every department. More than half of voters think Brown is more trustworthy than the Tory leader.
But, says The Sun, "that trust will ebb away if he fails to honour Tony Blair's promise of a referendum on the EU constitutional treaty. And then the honeymoon will be well and truly over."
EU Ref makes its point. But it is wrong. Most of don't understand what the EU constitution means, much less be bothered to actually get dressed, get down to the polling booth and vote on the thing.
Brown's honeymoon period will be over soon enough, whatever he does.
Comment Central remembers one other honeymoon:
1. John Major eats chips! The decision of the new Prime Minister to dine in a Happy Eater restaurant was regarded as an indication that here was a man of the people. Within a couple of years the same meal was being satirised on Spitting Image and taken as an indication that the man had no style.
More peas, Gordon?

Hell is…The Ikea Honeymoon Suite
VISIONS OF HELL! I missed this. And now I can't get the image from my head:
It brought us Swedish meatballs, Billy bookshelves and endless queues on the London North Circular on Saturday afternoons. Now Ikea is going one step further and opening the Ikea Hostel, where customers can stay overnight if they haven't finished their shopping.
Later this month, Ikea Norway will let shoppers sleep overnight in one of its two Oslo warehouses, an operation that will last a week. "It will be like an alternative hostel," said company spokesman Frode Ullebust.
"There will be the regular dormitory with lots of beds stacked up together. We will also have a bridal suite, with a round bed and a hanging chandelier, and the luxury suite, where customers can enjoy breakfast in bed," he said. Family rooms will also be available for parents and children to join into the Ikea fun. None of the guests will be charged for their stay.
Mr Ullebust said that, as far as he knew, this was Ikea's first foray into the hotel business. Every night, the 30 lucky few will be able to stack up on meatballs, Norwegian salmon and cranberry mousse, as Ikea is offering free dinner and breakfast at the usual canteen.
Whereas Brits may associate the Swedish furniture giant with screaming kids, traffic jams in the parking lot and an occassional riot when a new warehouse opens, it seems Norwegians see a trip to Ikea as the ultimate tourist attraction.

Mario Testino's photos of Kate and William at Princess Charlotte's christening come with a health warning
What do we think of Mario Testino's photos of Kate and William in his Princess Charlotte's christening portrait? Get a load of those big smiles. It's typical celebrity stuff.
But Jonthan Jones can't stand it:
After all, they have plenty to smile about – the free houses, the free money, the free adulation, the fact there's no chance of their kids ever having to worry about student loans, tax credits or the minimum wage.
But like his bosses at the Guardian, then.
All smiles all the way. But Testino, the world's most horrible flatterer of wealth and status, makes every smile look phoney. He makes reality itself seem a glib and cynical charade.

Witchcraft In The UK And African Churches: Children Are Murdered When Exorcism Fails
THE Sun has an interesting story on witchcraft in the UK:
HUNDREDS of British tots are victims of ritual abuse by parents convinced their child is possessed, police said yesterday. The Sun told on Tuesday how people in South London performed a 4am exorcism on a toddler.
In another case outlined at the Met's Witchcraft and Spirit Possession event, a youngster was starved, beaten and caged as the parents feared evil spirits would jump from the child. One victim told how her aunt force-fed her for being a witch.
And not at all far-fetched.
In 2010, Uganda's Minister for Ethics and Integrity James Buturo appealed for help. The report:
He appealed to religious leaders regardless of the difference in faith to spearhead the campaigns to wipeout witchcraft and homosexuality in the country.

Once I used the computer at BYUI, I relied on the clock on the computer, which is wrong. Therefore, I was late for the class.
Overall Experience:
Professors here are helpful; classmates are nice; and I enjoy studying here.
No Comment – Since I didn't play any sport, so I didn't have much to say about it.
Off-Campus Dining:
Not Enough Options – Off-campus dining options are very limited because the city of Rexburg, Idaho is very small. Most people drive to Idaho Falls for a nice sit-down restaurant. The dining options in Rexburg are subway, McDonalds, taco bell, rameras, gringos, cocoa bean, Applebee's, and a couple other places but that is basically it.
Guys & Girls:
Los Muchachos – The boys are pretty picky at BYU-Idaho because the ratio of boys to girls is about 1:3. A lot of the boys are still immature but there are a few that know where they are going in life.
Professors Want You to Succed – The Professors in the Health Science Program really want the students to learn the information well. Some people view this as a pain but it really isn't because they provide quality education. The Professors give additional information not needed for our tests to spark our interest and help us see new and developing career opportunities in our field.
Tudor Center – I love the Tudor Center at BYU-Idaho because it is free! It helped me get a high grade in both anatomy & physiology 1 and 2. The Tudors are students who have taken the class before so they give you tips on what the professor wants to see in your performance. You can sign up for either a one time session or once a week.
There Are Plenty If You Just Ask. To get scholarships you have to go ask your financial aid adviser and they are usually pretty helpful in getting you what you need. Also the school give tuition scholarship automatically if your cumulative GPA reaches a certain threshold, which when high enough will pay full tuition.
Great Teachers – All of the teachers are very knowledgeable, many of them have studied at other well accredited universities. The classes are small so you can usually get to know your professor and receive one on one help if needed.
It's a Church School – Most who attend BYU-Idaho are there not just because of quality of education but because of the shared beliefs that most of the students have. That's not to say their isn't diversity, but it's a very religious school and extremely united on that front.
It Gets Cold – Rexburg can either be hot and dry or freezing and icy. It's always pretty windy there.
Health & Safety:
Pretty Safe – BYU-Idaho and the surrounding town is very well kept and safe, it's one of the only places that you don't have to lock your door. Sometimes people will forget that they have taken their wallets or iPods out and left them on the table, when they come back, even if it's been a few hours, no one has even bothered to move them.
Campus Housing:
I chose to live in the approved housing off campus and I love it. The apartments are kinda small sometimes and there isn't always room for everything but I very much enjoyed having roommates closer to my age in my apartment.
Campus Quality:
Students Have Clean Fun – The students at byui all follow the standards of the LDS church so the activities both on and off campus are good clean fun. To me it's a better experience to be surrounded by people who enjoy the same atmosphere that I do.
Defiantly Above Average – While filling out forms can be a bit of a hassle, and remembering to get everything turned in on time is a pain, the people are super accommodating and they'll help you work through anything you need. The office itself I'd probably give an A+, but since I just don't enjoy having to ask people for money in general, I bumped it down to an A- on a personal note.
Guys & Girls:
Best Kids You'll Ever Meet. There is no shortage of friends on or off campus. Everyone is so outgoing that not only will you instantly make friends in all of your classes (especially if you do your part and get to know those sitting around you), but you'll make friends for life. And since the school runs in trimesters you get the unique experience of making new friends each semester while still running into and keeping some of the old. It's also really easy to meet boys (or girls) at any social activity, as the school is ALWAYS planning them. And, of course, going to church planned activities is an easy way to meet people as well.And if you ever run into someone you don't get along with (a very rare occurrence), who cares? Chances are you'll find something you have in common and become friends with them soon enough, or you make friends with someone else and they'll make friends with someone more like them and you can still have a great time regardless.And if you're looking for something more than friendship you'll find it. Plenty of people MORE than willing to have serious relationships that lead to marriage. People look for their 'happily-ever-after' here, and they find it.
Overall Experience:
Best Change I Ever Made. This school is wonderful. I transferred here from the Provo campus, and it was the best decision I ever made. That is not to suggest that Provo is not awesome as well, but this school has proven to be the perfect fit for me. I'm getting the education I want as well as the education I need, but I do not have to sacrifice having somewhat of a social life as well. You'll remain busy and on your toes every day, whether it's with school, homework, friends or church callings - and you'll never once regret a single moment of it.
Because it is a relatively small campus (it takes about 10 minutes to walk from one end to the other), if you park far away because there isn't a spot close to your class, you only have to get to school about 10-15 minutes early. There is a new parking system that divides up parking lots, and depending on which end of campus you're on you can get decent parking. South parking permits are cheaper and more available, so if you're on that end of campus anyway it's a good deal. North parking is much more crowded.Campus security is very strict about ticketing if you are parking in the wrong spot. Tickets are usually about $25.
Lots of White Students – There are students from different backgrounds and countries, but a grand majority of students are white.
Guys & Girls:
Good Values – Most guys and girls at BYU-Idaho have very good values and are not afraid of commitment. There are some girls who act and dress inappropriately just to get attention, but they are on every campus. There are many Utah/Idaho Mormons but also a lot of Mormons from different backgrounds.
Enjoyable, Challenging and Interesting – In Applied Mathematics, the professors are amazing. Their workloads vary, but each one is willing and able to help with the material presented in class. Most of them try to present the material in a creative or memorable way so that it is easier to remember, and they are all understanding and try their best to help you get the grade you deserve. They are focused on learning, not so much grades, which is why this is the case.
Easy If You Don't Have Too Many Credits – For my major in Applied Mathematics I wouldn't have had to submit an application. The only difficulties I came across were because to change my major I had to undergo a petition process that took over a month because I was over 75 credits.
Overall Experience:
I Love This School! BYU-Idaho is amazing. The classes are challenging, but not to the point that they will destroy your GPA. The environment, although strict, is extremely supportive. It's not a party school, but it's a lot of fun. It's definately an environment with good morals. I love the spiritual aspect of the school. It's amazing!
I Love the Elementary Education Program! BYU-Idaho is very helpful! The classes are challenging, but not too difficult. Although I am not looking for a career at this point, there are job fairs quite often through the school for education majors. There are quite a few opportunities! It's a great program and I would reccomend it to anyone!
The instructors are amazing and all of the majors are really succeeding!
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
BYU-Idaho professors and other students take a lot of interest in students personally, to help them achieve their academic goals and improve their overall well-being. They care about how you do in classes, what you have to contribute to the school, and what you're doing besides school to enhance your lifelong learning. The BYU-I experience really becomes what the students make it. Students who just study to get by learn to do the bare minimum with the least amount of effort, and students who want to make the most of their education and learn and grow from being a student work longer and harder in a variety of pursuits that span beyond academics.
It may be hard to believe that there are so many opportunities to develop skills in a given area from attending a little school in Rexburg, Idaho. But just as BYU-Idaho takes huge steps in innovating learning and maximizing resources, students learn to be innovative hard-workers who know how to problem-solve and communicate effectively. Most students who realize the potential they have in being admitted to this school and who take advantage of the opportunities offered here quickly learn how to make their BYU-Idaho experience worthwhile.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
