"Excellent stay (3rd time renter) - Roslyn Pines is great"
We come here every year and the boys love it (first time @ Roslyn Pines). We went golfing (suncdia and suncountry), bike riding on the trails around the property, as well as at suncadia, swimming and basketball at the recreation center in the community daily as well as ATV riding out at LT Murray. This is a perfect way to get away but still have all of lifes little creature comforts. Derek with VR 365 was awesome as always and gave lots of great recommendations as well as excellent customer service. Highly recommend it.

great cabin for a mini family reunion! We all felt very comfortable. Enjoyed the pool but felt the $7 charge per person per day was a bit much for the little ones. Even so, would come back again!

"Great Place To Stay For a Golf Trip"
We all had a great time at Roslyn Pines. The amenities were very nice. The Kitchen was very large, included a 5 burner stove and a double oven. The deck was very spacious and a great place to eat dinner and hold conversations. The location was just 15 minutes from the first tee at both suncadia golf courses. We found it convenient to stop by The Brick on the way home to shoot some pool and grab a burger. We would absolutely stay there again.

"Great Getaway"
We booked to get away with family for a weekend. Great house with all of the amenities and we loved the hot tub! Derek was fast to respond when we had some issues with the internet and solved them perfectly. We love going to Swiftwater Cellars and this was further than we normally stay which was "fun" driving back when it snowed on Saturday night. Overall, good place to stay if you're looking for a nice retreat..and hot tub!
Response from the , VR365 - 03/20/2013

"A luxury home away from home!"
We had a great time at Roslyn Pines. Loved the location. It was picture perfect. There was so much snow and the kids enjoyed the sleds that were provided in the house. The house was so welcoming and warm. We loved how well the kitchen was stocked with utensils and gadgets. Similarly, the hot tub and ample towels - we were so well taken care of. Air hockey table was a big hit with the kids!

"Rosyln Pines- awesome!"
It was a really awesome visit, the property is SUPER nice. The only exception was the slow draining shower on the main floor, which meant usually your feel were in cold water at the start! I did notify property management, so that will probably be fixed. Other than that the property was as clean as I have ever seen, and everybody in property management was super-awesome. We hope to come back!.
Response from the , VR365 - 02/21/2013

"Perfectly Perfect!!!"
From the moment we checked in both families knew that this was a fine property and management. We had a glitch with the fireplace and Derek was there within 10 minutes and took care of the problem. The house was so clean and ready to just move in for the weekend. The children (2 teenagers and 2 elementary school aged) had a blast and never did we hear, "I'm bored". Can't wait to return!

"Nice place for a family weekend"
This was a last minute rental for my family after the cabin we originally rented from a different owner turned out to be pretty poor. What a great upgrade this was! Great customer service helped us find a place on such short notice, and was very flexible in helping us out. The property was very clean, modern, nicely furnished. The kitchen is WONDERFUL and we spent a lot of time there. Great hot tub and fire pit on the back porch, which we enjoyed despite Washington's best efforts to rain us out. The only real drawback to this property is that it's located in a vacation development, so there are plenty of neighbors. If you're looking for solitude, this probably isn't the spot, but if you're looking for a very nice place to spend a weekend with family and don't mind other places nearby, it's a good one.
Response from the , VR365 - 10/30/2012

"Roslyn Pines"
Great time!!
We will be back. However, here is what can make it better:
• the directions to Roslyn Pines were slightly confusing.
• tv cable box was broke.
• driveway needed to be plowed. Even our 4wd Tahoe got stuck.
• hot water tank runs out quickly.
Thanks for the awesome getaway!!
Shannon Cortez
Response from the , VR365 - 01/25/2012
I'm glad you had a great time! We lost power two days prior to your arrival which caused the cable box to fail. Unfortunately the driveway wasn't plowed since your reservation was for the same day and our snow plow service is done the day prior for all our vacation homes. We haven't had anyone comment on the hot water tank so we will keep an eye out for that. Thanks again for staying with us!

well the face is awesome , very good in details , the clothes need a bit of ... make them look like they are made from textile
wow! this looks great already! keep it up!
Stunning mate.
Hi Jon! i have a question! you have a standard mesh for all your female sculptures? or for every sculpture, you start from the beginning?
I use a basemesh for some of my work, not for others, it relaly depends on what im working on
amazing work XD
So cool
wow nice, did you texture using zbrush as well??
Just a little polypaint in zbrush yes!
ahhh ok cause i'm still learning how to texture in zbrush but i'm having....one or 2 minor issues, but thats only because i'm not used to it!!
Can you PLEASE WORK FOR RIOT AND MAKE THIS THE GAME MODEL THE CURRENT ONE IS SO BAD AND THIS IS THE BEST
at the moment, i actually think this is Fortune VU. haha
Awesome work!!
Awesome work!!
wow so amazing work ! i hope to see your work in league of legend !
OMIGOSH, What program did you use,
Can you do work for me for free?????
I used Notepad - and yes, I will be happy to work for free for you for at least 17 years!! When do i start? that sounds like a great 'opportunity' for me to grow as an artist!!!!
Will you put rigging on her?
Because she is amaizing!
Its simple but with very good details ^^
Well done! Riot could learn a thing or two from you! I don't know if their engine supports Z-brush or similar model creation programs but they should at least be attempting to achieve this standard.
They actually use Z-Brush. They use a high amount of polygons and turn them down after that.
Really? Well that's disappointing. They could at least have given the option to play at higher qualities instead of reducing it to fit everything. I admit, they've made some improvements over the years but overall it still feels...meh.
thanks for the kind words
Oh my goodness, this is so insanely beautiful, that it is hazardous for me!
woooo..x3 new art yay!!
When you finish the whole thing, what do you do with them afterwards?
ow Id love to have that mesh in my posession I still cant figure out the perfect cleavage

ToDo ToDay: Glengarry! Palm Parties! Chinese New Year!
After a somewhat unexciting fall lineup, biting drama makes a welcome return to Round House. For its production of Glengarry Glen Ross, the company has employed an all-star cast of D.C. actors to depict the down-on-their-luck real estate salesmen at the center of David Mamet's play. It's set at the height of the '80s housing boom but the tale could still take place in many parts of the U.S. today. Read more>>> 8 p.m. at Round House Theatre, 4545 East-West Highway, Bethesda. $26-$58. (Caroline Jones)
In celebration of The Palm restaurant group's role in a new CBS reality competition called The Job, all of the restaurants' locations are hosting viewing parties and extending happy hour until close. In tonight's premiere episode, airing at 8 p.m., contestants will vie for a job as an assistant manager's position with The Palm Restaurant Group. (And we thought the bar for reality TV couldn't get any lower than Bachelor Pad.) There will be complimentary hor d'oeuvres during the show and half-off beer, glasses of wine, premium spirits, and "Prime Bites" like sliders and mini crabcakes the rest of the night. The Palm, 1225 19th St NW and 1750 Tysons Blvd., McLean. (202) 293-9091 and (703) 917-0200; thepalm.com. (Jessica Sidman and May Wildman)
Tonight: When treated correctly, a new format can reinvigorate a classic novel. That's what GALA Hispanic Theatre is hoping to do with its adaptation of Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits. Tonight's performance follows a talk by Guadalupe Valdés, a Chilean artist whose work is currently displayed in the theater's Kreeger Art Walk. 6 p.m. at Gala Hispanic Theatre, 3333 14th St. NW. $20–$40.
Tonight: Mary Zimmerman returns to Arena Stage to remount her production of Metamorphoses with many of the same cast members and the design team that helped her win a Tony Award for direction in 2002. Yet Washington audiences will get to see this famous work in slightly new way: Until now, Zimmerman has never presented her play in the round.

Saturday: Localish favorites Eternal Summers and Dot Dash perform at Rock & Roll Hotel with Technicians and Golden Looks. 9 p.m. at Rock & Roll Hotel, 1353 H St. NE. $10.

This is one of several John Spalding benefit concerts coming up in the next few weeks to help release the local musician's album, Loveland; you can read a little about Helms Alee in Rocket Queen here, and more about John Spalding here.
Caro, Talkdemonic, The Sight Below at Nectar, 8 p.m., $8
Talkdemonic pulls off something that many bands fail at: Creating
beautiful-yet-technical instrumental tracks. Most bands with a good
vocalist and killer lyrics don't have to worry about what their backing
music sounds like. As long as listeners pay attention to the voice and
words, the guitar can bust a few power chords and all is dandy. Not so
with Portland's electroacoustic folk duo. On "Duality of Deathening," a
track from Talkdemonic's new EP Eyes at Half Mast, rat-a-tat drumming
holds steady beneath a lilting viola, creating background music that
needs no foreground vocals. This is the sort of music that can be
appreciated for its complicated approach while still soothing the
senses, making Talkdemonic every indie music nerd's wet dream. PAIGE RICHMOND
The Blue Note 7 Tour at the Moore Theatre, 7:30 p.m., $28-$42, all ages
The heritage of Blue Note Records is hardly in need of more
celebrating. From endless hip-hop sampling and record-cover homages to
the in-store soundtrack at Starbucks, the sound of Rudy Van Gelder's
studio in the 1960s and that classic Blue Note graphic design now
practically define jazz in the popular mind. And yet...holy CRAP, those
records are still
amazing. If there's one period in jazz I could live on forever, it's
that one, and I'm plainly not alone. The sessions from Joe Henderson,
Wayne Shorter, and so many others sound less dated, to my ears, than
much of the jazz that's been recorded since. Today, Blue Note is still
a mainstream-jazz powerhouse, and for its 70th anniversary, a band
called The Blue Note 7--a septet of strong mid-career artists, led by
Bill Charlap on piano--is touring with a songbook of great '60s tunes.
Charlap is a man of beautiful taste--anyone else, and you might want to
avoid this retread outing. But these are some skilled straight-ahead
players, and if their love of the material even approaches that of the
audience, it should be a memorable night. MARK D. FEFER
Little Pieces, Blue Skies for Black Hearts, Levi Fuller at the Comet Tavern, 9 p.m., $6
there's one thing Blue Skies for Black Hearts is known for, it's
quality song writing. The Portland four piece crafts music like a real,
honest-to-goodness garage band: Full of pop and reverb, with "ooohs"
and "ahhhs" as backing vocals. It's the same guitar formula that made
the Beatles famous, with the same sort of indie sensibility that made
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah an Internet sensation. Utterly listenable and
ultimately infectious, Blue Skies lives up to its slightly optimistic
band name. The songs off this year's Serenades and Hand Grenades
question love and loss to an upbeat tempo, making it nearly impossible
to feel anything but uplifted while listening to this band. Which is
good thing, because there's way too much bad shit happening these days
to let music be depressing, too. PAIGE RICHMOND
Hazelwood Motel, Animals At Night, Point Juncture, WA at Neumos, 8 p.m., $8
Ed Vierda, Megan Pickerel (yes, Mark Pickerel's sister), and Patrick
Smail make quiet, lo-fi folk music that uses whispered words, echoes,
and tremulous vocals to create a moody atmosphere ideal for personal
reflection, rainy days, and healing battered hearts. Though "Break
Myself in Two," probably the loudest track on the band's recent
self-titled release, seems to be the go-to single, soft songs like "My
Demon," "Say What You Will," and "Envy" seem to more accurately embody
the band's sound. And "Say What You Will" is the only track on the
record where Megan Pickerel steps out and takes the lead on vocals,
letting her lilting voice carry the song. Hardly a party album,
Hazelwood Motel possesses tremendous power in its quietest moments. In
a whisper, the world ends, and then, with a strumming guitar, it's born
anew. Yes. Their music is really that outstanding. SARA BRICKNER
Brightblack Morning Light at Vera Project, 7:30 p.m., $11, all ages
Brightblack Morning Light principals Nathan Shineywater and Rachael
Hughes live in teepees, smoke tons of weed, and write anodyne,
hypnotizing, soulful songs with titles like "Starblanket River Child."
Theirs is a fusion of the spaced-out shoegazer-gospel of Spiritualized,
the mellow country-rock of Acetone, and the heavenly vocal harmonies of
Mojave 3. Reviewing BBL's show at the Triple Door a while back for SW's
blog, Reverb, I noted that "the vibe of the set was so mellow, in fact,
that the very sporadic moments of aggressiveness in the music - a solid
floor-tom smack, a forceful finger on a key, a strongly picked guitar
string - were like thunderclaps during a gentle summer rainshower,
sudden and fleeting." I suspect tonight's gig, which celebrates the
band's recent, similarly styled disc Motion to Rejoin, will be more of the laid-back, stoner-rific same.

Off-Camera AF Assist?

Off-Camera AF Assist?
How does the AF assist work when the Speedlite is connected with an ETTL compatible cord off-camera? I assume there is not difference on- or off-camera.
My understanding is that the Speedlite emits an IR pattern that helps with subject auto-focusing. If the off-camera flash is pointing at the subject I assume the camera uses that same that IR pattern (e.g. it has now way of knowing flash is off-camera). In other words there is no "back and forth" between the IR pattern and the camera, the Speedlite simply projects the IR pattern. So it will aid work off-camera assuming the Speedlite is pointed at the subject.

I've used the MSR Roost Pak for about 7 years. My first one was finally showing some wear and tear and a friend got me a new one. I've mounted the pack on a Fox Airframe (required drilling a few holes for the zip-ties - a template for the holes is included with the pack) and a Leatt Pro 5.5 (no drilling required). The pack is durable and well designed and it keeps items I access often in a place where it's easy to get to them.Read All Reviews

NADA Selects New President
MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Automobile Dealers Association has selected Peter K. Welch as its new president. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130108/DC39520)(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120104/DC30041LOGO) "I'm excited and honored to be selected as the next NADA president," said Welch, 59. Welch has been president and chief executive officer of the California New Car Dealers Association (CNCDA) in Sacramento since 2003, and has managed its government affairs office, including legal, legislative and regulatory affairs, since 1990. It's the country's largest state organization for new-car dealers. " NADA is a well-run organization. I look forward to following in the tradition of strong leadership at NADA. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get started," Welch said. The unanimous decision was made at a special meeting of the NADA Board of Directors in Dallas on Tuesday, Jan. 8, following an extensive nationwide search. Welch will become the NADA president officially on February 1. "Peter will be a great leader at NADA," said Bill Underriner, the NADA Chairman. "He has an impressive track record in California, where every day he faced some of the toughest regulatory and legislative issues in the industry. He's a car guy who comes highly recommended not just from people in California, but also across the nation," added Underriner, a new-car dealer in Billings, Mont. Dave Westcott, NADA vice chairman, said he is looking forward to working with the new president. " Peter Welch is a great selection," said Westcott, a new-car dealer in Burlington, N.C. "He is the right person to help lead our organization as we confront the challenges ahead." A native of Detroit, Mich., Welch has been married to Cheryl Welch for 32 years. They have three children. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan; a master's degree from the University of Durham, England; and a law degree from Loyola Marymount University of Law, Los Angeles. Prior to joining the CNCDA, he was a partner with a Los Angeles law firm. " NADA has a bright future with Peter as president," Underriner said. In connection with the appointment of Welch as NADA president, Underriner also announced the following promotions, effective immediately:

The Philobiblon of Richard de Bury
Vol. 2
by Richard De Bury
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? asks the devout psalmist, that invincible king and chiefest of the prophets. In this most grateful inquiry he acknowledgeth himself a willing repayer and a manifold debtor, and a seeker after a counsellor holier than himself; agreeing with Aristotle, the prince of philosophers, who proves in the Third and Sixth of his Ethics that all action turns upon counsel. Surely, if so admirable a prophet, acquainted with the Divine secrets, desired so anxiously to meditate upon the way in which he might acceptably make return for these gracious benefits by rendering thanks, what shall we, who are but rude thankers and most greedy receivers, laden with endless Divine benefits, be able to resolve upon more worthily? Doubtless with anxious deliberation and redoubled circumspection (first invoking the septiform Spirit, to the end that His illuminating fire may glow in our meditation) we ought the more earnestly to prepare an open way, so that the Bestower of all things may be readily worshipped out of His gifts conferred upon us, our neighbour be relieved of his burden and the guilt daily contracted by sinners be atoned for by the remedy of alms.

William Ellis Saint House (Bonavista)
© 1998 Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador
Constructed around 1899, the William Ellis Saint House was the home of the Saint family for generations until Doug Little purchased it in 1991. The two-storeyed house has a steep gable roof. The Saint House is a good example of the vernacular style in Bonavista in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador designated William Ellis Saint House a Heritage Structure in April 1995.

The topic of this presentation is General Omar Torrijos Herrera, the leader of Panama from 1970 to 1978, and the resistance movement under his rule. Torrijos came to power through a military coup and left office after the Canal treaty had been signed. The methods that the resistant groups used defined how Torrijos responded, which showed how he was able to stay in power: by keeping the Canal at the forefront of domestic and foreign concern, using legislation and the expanded bureaucratic system, and using the National Guard to commit crimes that he himself can not. The presentation will talk about the history of Panamanian politics and how Torrijos regime came to power, Torrijos social, economic, and political policies, who resisted, why, and how they did, and the Canal treaties with the United States. The presentation will also discuss the historiography on resistance to Torrijos and why more research needs to be done on this topic.

Not good to be a Foza orana... as a crustacean
Favorite thing: Not a favourite but... Year 2009 started out with a political crisis in already economical-crisis-stricken Madagascar. 2008 ended with a series of demonstrations led by capital city mayor, Andry Rajoelina. The latter and his clique dubbed themselves "Orange revolutioneers". Everywhere in Tana streets: orange flags, orange tee-shirts, orange scarves. Later on, the revolution turned into a putsch that led to the departure of Pdt Marc Ravalomanana out of the country (March 17). In between, the "Orange" revolution has led into lootings, arsons of commerce, malls in Tana and other major cities (26 Jan. 2009, our "Black Monday"). Feb. 7, shots while the "Orange folks" marched to assault the President office. Still Orange, huh ? The then mayor had become Head of a Banana republic state (as hed of putschists, rather). Trying to have the international recognition. In vain... Madagascar is in crisis, regarding several aspects of it: economical (what's new? it's it everywhere in the world), political, social, spiritual. I see the end of it... but have to wait.
Sooo... what a crustacean to do with all this ?
Foza orana is a crustacean that was (criminally?) lately introduced into Madagscar. It kills fishes, eats rice springs and made itself its bad press. Plus, it's so wide and quickly spread that makes it even more dislikable. It's halfway between a foza (our tiny mud crabs) and a orana (crayfish).
Foza orana, as an adjective is to qualify an item that is easily to be found everywhere. Like those phones sold by telecom companies which are dead cheap and that are so widespread everyone has to check his/ her own phone screen each time a ring is heard in a bus.
Foza orana, as an adjective is to qualify an easy girl. One can have her so easily (cheaply?). Also, it has become the nickname of "Orange movement" folks. Not only because of the colour (pic. 2), also because of the Orange demonstrators being mostly made up with pickpockets, looters which were paid to swell the bulk of demonstrators and their militia.
"Biby nitour-ne", i.e "an species that has turned into something else", is also to describe this crustacean which is half crab half crayfish.
Nope, it's not good to be a foza orana, as a crustacean... nor a human.
To me, eating foza orana is to contribute in erasing the crisis in rural areas, as it eats rice springs, fishes and well, many here think that getting rid of urban foza orana is to end the crisis... lol
Posy-posy (ricksaw) is commonly used in Mada
Favorite thing: This Indian Ocean Island of mine is located East of Mozambica coast ( least distance between Mada & Africa is about 400 km ). Size is as 18 times as much as Belgium's, 1.5 times as UK's or some 587 000 km². 18 millions of inhabitants, Malagasy people.
* Antananarivo as capital city (my city).
* Until lately, 6 provinces (Faritany). New official arrangement lists 22 regions. Analamanga, Bongolava, Itasy, Vakinankaratra (from the Antananarivo province); Diana, Sava (from Antsiranana); Amoron'i Mania, Atsimo Atsinanana, Haute Matsiatra, Ihorombe, Vatovavy Fitovinany (from the Fianarantsoa's); Betsiboka, Boeny, Melaky, Sofia (from the Mahajanga's); Alaotra Mangoro, Analanjirofo, Atsinanana (from the Toamasina's); Androy, Anosy, Atsimo Andrefana, Menabe (from the Toliara's).
Whilst the artificial partition in province was introduced by colonials, cultural reality has one day to prevail. The current 22-region-partition is simply a translation of the peaceful coexistence of 22 tribes within an island. Here & more than ever, difference means wealth.
The VT database still runs the old scheme with Faritanin' Antananarivo; Faritanin' i Toamasina; Faritanin' i Fianarantsoa; Faritanin' Antsiranana; Faritanin' i Mahajanga; Faritanin' i Toliara ... Not to be mixed up with their main towns: Antananarivo; Toamasina; Fianarantsoa; Antsiranana; ´Mahajanga; Toliara cities.
* Ooops, I forgot!... 5000 km of beach: yellow sand, grey sand, white sand...
Fondest memory: * Landscape ranges from rainforest areas to desert. Rain uses to mould the Island landscape. Dry, yellow-grass steppes and savanna in inland may turn green in rainy seasons. East coast is the most humid area as West coast is the driest. Plains alternate with hills and rocky mountains.
This unique and varied nature that spreads over these 6 provinces, is, however, under threaten. Man, unaware of the Island uniqueness, used to burn steppes, forests, chop trees for profit and, therefore, exterminate endangered species... Thanks to awareness arising, efforts are made to preserve nature's future .. thus man's future.
Also a hope for the future
Picture shows posy - posy, pousse-pousse or ricksaw. Its use is widely spread all over the area. Whilst it is used for conveying goods in Tana area, elsewhere, it is used for people's transportation. Quite in each province's capital city, you can hire posy in urban areas.
Faritanin' Antsiranana (N)
Favorite thing: UNDER CONSRTUCTION
The new official partition in regions 2 regions in this faritany: Diana & Sava.
Faritanin' i Toamasina (E)
Favorite thing: Faritanin' i Toamasina is located on Eastern coast & edged with Indian Ocean. It stretches from Antongila Bay (North) to Nosy Varika. Toamasina is the Malagasy first port city.
Mainly inhabited by Betsimisaraka (for main parts), it comprehends other tribes such as Bezanozano (Western part of Moramanga), Sihanaka (Ambatondrazaka region). It has been common to assimilate this province with Betsimisaraka. The new official partition in regions is a simple translation of the cultural reality. This province is now divided in 3 regions: Alaotra Mangoro, Analanjirofo, Atsinanana. Btw, "Betsimisaraka" means "those who cannot be divided".
Landscape is made of rainforests in the inland and superb beach shores. Deep rainforests use to house several species of lemurs, orchids, birds. Nonetheless, they are endangered since hurricanes, torrential rains, floods and Man contributed in destroying such wonders... WWF and Malagasy government implemented programs to protect nature and last remnants of the whole deep forest that covered Madagascar in the past. Note its nickname turning from "Blue Island" into "Red Island" after the past 30-year communist regime & the red earth that replaced deep blue forests.
Not to forget as well that the French fit out Lakandranon' Ampanalana known as Canal des Pangalanes. Rivers, lakes, pounds were "merged" so as to make it easy to convey goods and develop trade between coastal cities in a large channel... 700 km accessible by boat, pirogue...
This is the rainiest & most unpredictable part of the Island. In rainy season (Jan- March), water & winds just combine their powerful actions with strong hurricanes (cyclones) that devastate everything. Ap.-May, far less rain and bright sun. June-Oct., those kind of sudden, heavy but short rains in sunny weather. They just leave sky clear, bright sun and smoky earth. All of that just comes in unpredictable ways since climate changes in Mada & elsewhere.
Fondest memory: See my Toamasina province page as well as pages on cities of:
- Toamasina
- Mahavelona
- "Heading East" I, II Tlogues in Faritanin'i Toamasina pages
Lakandranon' Ampanalana is my fondest memory of this part of the island. See my "Off the beaten path tips" in Faritanin'i Toamasina as well...
Faritanin' i Toliara (S- SW)
Favorite thing: UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The new official partition in regions lists 4 regions in this Faritany: Androy, Anosy, Atsimo Andrefana, Menabe.
Fondest memory: Please note that 3 albums are dedicated to my "Big South Journey" and tips related to them are in my Madagascar pages. Big South Journey is this roadtrip from Tana to Toliara surroundigs.
Faritanin' i Mahajanga (N-W; W)
Favorite thing: UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Faritanin' i Mahajanga occupies a long territory West of the island. Used to be referred as the Boina region, it, however comprehends other regions inhabited by other tribes. The new official partition in regions is a simple translation of the cultural reality. This province is now divided in 4 regions: Betsiboka, Boeny, Melaky, Sofia .
I started posting pics in my Mahajanga page. Tips are added bit by bit...
Fondest memory: See my Mahajanga province and city pages.
I just discovered this wesite, kind of interesting, about the province of Mahajanga. Browse it, you would find interesting info about tourism in the area (in French): www.majunga.org
Faritanin' Antananarivo (Center)
Favorite thing: Faritanin' Antananarivo is the capital city' s province. It is located in the Highlands, in the center of Madagascar & mainly inhabited by Merina peoples. "Merina" means "Those who live in the heights". The region uses to be named "Imerina" as well whilst it actually comprehends other regions inhabited by other tribes. The new official partition in regions is a simple translation of the cultural reality. This province is now divided in 4 regions: Analamanga (region of the Merina), Bongolava, Itasy, Vakinankaratra.
Some of these regions share the Highlands (altitude varying from 700 to 2800m) with Sihanaka (Eastern part of Highlands), Betsileo (Fianarantsoa province), Tanala, Bara (Fianarantsoa and Toliara provinces) peoples.
Landscape is made of hills and plains (that house acres of ricefields), with wide ranges of red, green shades. Red shades come from red earth, orange bricks as ricefields, grass on hills display several shades of green depending on growing of rice plants. The region counts many sacred lakes as well. Some of them resulted from past vulcano activities (cratera lake Tritriva, for instance). Beware, many fady in those spots...
Due to height, climate there is fresher than anywhere else in Madagascar. From March to October, winter nights (0°C in Antsirabe) but noon temperature can reach 25°C. Rainy and hot from November till March.
Fondest memory: Roadtrips.. lunar landscape through Andringitra massif (see my Faritanin' Antananarivo page for that).. Soil burning *sigh*.. Fog on winter mornings
See my pages on cities of:
- Antananarivo city (Ambohimanga and Ambohidrabiby included)
- Antsirabe city
to have my feelings on those cities... You won't be deceived
Faritanin' i Fianarantsoa (Center- SE)
Favorite thing: Known as the Betsileo province, located in the center of Madagascar & mainly inhabited by Betsileo peoples. However, Eastern parts of the province (East coast) are home of Tanala ("those who live in forests"), Antambahoaka, Antaimoro ("those who live in the banks") & Antefasy ("those who live in sandy areas") peoples. In Ambositra area, Zafimaniry families, traditional woodcraftsmen, adjoin with Tanala peoples in the forests. The new official partition in regions is a simple translation of the cultural reality. This province is now divided in 5 regions: Amoron'i Mania, Atsimo Atsinanana, Haute Matsiatra, Ihorombe, Vatovavy Fitovinany.
Betsileo & Tanala share the Highlands (altitude varying from 700 to 2800m) with Sihanaka (Eastern part of Highlands) & Bara (Fianarantsoa & Toliara provinces) peoples.
Landscape is made of hills & plateau, includes Andringitra massif. Like anywhere else in Highlands, red shades come from red earth, orange bricks. Ricefields terraces, grass on hills display many shades of green depending on the rice growing. That was for Highlands.
As for the Eastern parts, they include villages that are edged by Lakandranon' Ampanalana on one hand & Indian ocean on another hand. Nice shores.
And of course, don't forget that Fianar is the gate to South. Amazing landscapes are in my 3 albums dedicated to my "Big South Journey". This is the province where Eastern rainforests adjoin with bush and desert areas, those of Southern parts.
Due to height, climate in the Highlands part is fresh in winter. March-Oct., winter nights but noon temperature can reach 25°C. Rainy & hot in Nov.- March.
In Eastern parts (East coast), climate is unpredictable. These are the rainiest parts of the Island. In rainy season (Jan- March), water and winds just combine their powerful actions with strong hurricanes (cyclones) that devastate everything. April & May, far less rain & bright sun. June-Oct., those kind of sudden heavy but short rains in sunny weather.
Fondest memory: See my pages on Fianarantsoa province as well as my pages on Fianarantsoa city.
Fondest memories: "Big South Journey".
Please note that 3 albums are dedicated to my "Big South Journey". They include pictures and comments on Fianarantsoa. Find them amongst below Tlogues. Enjoy!
Chameleon in a nature park.. far from the networld
Favorite thing: Cybercafes in Tana area: some addresses I could gather here and there. Who knows, they may be useful one day. Never tried them though... Also check at your hotel in case internet is available. Internet at hotels is reputed far better & safer & more expensive than cybercafés though.

Fondest memory: I am starting gathering adresses in other areas too and will update...
The hardest at work have sthg to eat, the others..
Favorite thing: Rich fauna, flora, nature to marvel at, soil WEALTH ... and population POVERTY.
Madagascar is amongst world's poorest countries. For decades, population has to struggle for life. 80% of population is rural, many being illiterate. In remote areas, no electricity neither current water.
For years, government members just grabbed all they could at expenses of population. The latter uses to tackle tough life, the one international institutions use to impose in order to meet up criteria for financial backing.
The South, for instance, has suffered from starvation for years. Years ago, volunteers and humanitarian groups went there to see and save some lives. However, Madagascar's then government made everything possible to hide Southern starvation, declaring that there was not any starvation in the Southern region.
Same thing as for Malagasy students in Europe. In Belgium, Malagasy students have been facing some strange situation in paying higher scholarship fees. Belgium has agreements with other countries as far as students are concerned. Thus, African students pay, at most, same fees as Belgians, NOT Malagasy students.
In fact, Malagasy students are in same category as US, Japanese students since, according to our then president, Malagasy students could afford studying. Thus, there is no point in putting Madagascar in same category as other African countries.
In fact, even some volunteers to save some lives in Southern Madagascar were hindered in their job. Even some countries that accepted that Malagasy students pay less were prevented from doing so.
Why that, would you say? In my humble opinion, because of some ego of then Malagasy officials who didn't want the world to see that the country was so poor, that people were starving. Too late for them, MSF and journalists were there.
These are examples of what happened there, of what people have endured for decades (esp. since 1975 when D. ratsiraka became president)...
Fondest memory: - Corruption is one of features of this country, some of my warning tips inform you on what to be done. I hope they will work for you. New government now implements its anti-corruption cell. It seems to be a serious task that awaits the cell staff but the president is determined in his actions. So, dear tourists, pay attention from now since situation is changing.
- Tana epitomizes fastuous and miserable Madagascar. Streets urchins, prostitutes of all ages in some areas on one hand, 4WD cars and business people on other hand. Shanty towns adjoin with posh villas (sometimes extravagant and of bad taste). Visiting other cities just made me aware of that since in Toamasina, for instance, there are really few beggars. While urban Tana abunds in street urchins... Rural people are poor as well and make the bulk of Malagasy population... but at least, they have houses there, or huts and some plots where to grow some crops and breed poultry and livestock.
Hopefully, new government, with its president Marc RAVALOMANANA elected in 2001, is working on. Pressure is put on them since people are really hoping for better life in the future. I hope the new government would do its best to support the population in its projects, ambition.. because many of Malagasy people are really skilled but never had the opportunity to express themselves, to achieve goals and live with talent.

I'm currently seeing a group of rotating doctors and all of them are nice but I met Dr. Asare last week. She's the rudest most obnoxious ob/gyn I have ever met. She kept giving me lip and rolling her eyes. Plus she didn't even wash her hands after touching the trash can. I ran out of there and didn't even let her examine me. I'm trying to switch, any suggestions? I have a high risk pregnancy so preferably a high risk ob/gyn. I've tried Dr. Weitz and Dr. Khouzami but they don't take my insurance.
Looking for a pleasant ob/gyn at GBMC....

I don;t know if she is a "high risk" OB - but Dr. Hebb at GBMC has been great with me! I have had three pregnancies in the last year (two resulting in miscarriage, fingers crossed that these little beasn stick!!) and she has been wonderful. Very accomodating, very polite, not too gooshy.

Thank you ladies. @BrilliantNikki, what type insurance do you have? I've heard about her, I will call first thing on Monday to see if I can schedule an appointment with her.

❤ Expecting baby boy April 2012 ❤
Yikes! Dr. Asare delivered my son a year ago. I will admit, she was my least favorite out of all the doctors. I loved all the rest. I was hoping she wasn't the one to be on call when I delivered, but sure enough she was on call, haha. She ended up being awesome during delivery. I LOVE that practice. Before I went there, I was with Capital Women's Care which was absolutely horrible. I suffered a miscarriage while at that practice and they were absolutely terrible to me during that time, so whatever you do I suggest not trying them out!
I have Dr. Hebb also, she's good so far.
Our little man is going to be a big brother! Baby # 2 is on the way!
SAHM to Mason (June 2010) and our surprise baby Jackson due in February!
I really like mine Dr. Hajj at GMBC but his nurses and sonogram person leave something to be desired, very unpleasant Since that is what you deal with a lot, I've been looking to switch.
For those you reccommended people above, did you like the rest of their office staff.

I'm using WP as a CMS for an old site, so I need to be able to keep the urls consistent (so I don't lose search engine placement).

We're big fans of space and science here at Firstpost Tech, and when it comes to cool videos, you can't get much cooler than some of space and science videos in 2011.
It was an historic year in space, especially with the end of the Space Shuttle era. For anyone with space dreams, it was a poignant moment.
As India and China continue to pursue their space programmes, one interesting development in 2011 has been the expansion of commercial space ventures. However, what these videos show is that even amateurs are now reaching into space with their own rockets.
As always, these are our favourites, but if you know of any great science or space videos, let us know about them in the comments.
1. Time lapse video from the international space station
Let's start out with the most obvious candidates for best space video of the year. Michael Knig edited together time lapse photos taken by expeditions 28 and 29 of the International Space Station between August and October of this year. He not only edited the images together, but he also cleaned up the images a bit. The result is stunning. The sequences are all explained over the Vimeo.
2. Quantum Levitation
As Neo in the Matrix says, "Woah!" If this video doesn't bake your noodle, I don't know what will. The video shows the amazing effects of quantum levitation. The demonstration shows how a super-conducting magnet can be "locked in three-dimensions" using an effect called "quantum trapping". Discovery News has a brief explanation of how this works, although if you're like us, you still might be scratching your head afterwards.
3. Nasa's Mars Curiosity Rover Mission
Nasa's Mars Curiosity Rover is currently hurtling towards the red planet, and this animation shows how the mission will work. The bit that got everyone online talking is about two minutes and 18 seconds into the video when the simulation shows how the rocket crane will lower the car-sized rover to the surface of Mars. The mission was just launched on 26 November, and the latest news is that the launch was so accurate that a planned course adjustment was not necessary.
4. A hopping rocket
2011 will be remembered for the year when commercial space operations really began, and Amazon's Jeff Bezos isn't content to remake retailing. He also has a commercial space venture, called Blue Origin. This video shows a test flight in which the rocket rises to a few hundred feet before slowing and then coming back down to earth gently, a vertical-takeoff-and-landing system. It's pretty impressive to watch.
5. DIY extreme model rocket
After those impressive space videos, it's worth checking out what hobbyists are doing with their extreme model rockets. Derek Deville built his own rocket, which he named Qu8k. In 92 seconds, it zooms to an altitude of 121,000 ft. On this rocket, he has attached a couple of video cameras to record the amazing flight. It's quite something to watch. If you're interested in high power amateur rocketry, check out Tripoli, a club with members in 23 countries around the world.
Bonus watch: A Space Shuttle tribute
We know that we said the top five space and science videos, but with the last Space Shuttle flight, we thought we'd add an end of the year bonus: A tribute to the Shuttle.

Flag ceremony marks start of ILEAca,!E+class
August 13, 2010
Story Highlights
- The Intermediate Level Education program at the Command and General Staff College began with the international flag ceremony Aug. 9.
- The CGSC ILE class of 2011-01 has 1,040 students, including 69 international officers from 63 countries around the world.
- The class also includes nine U.S. interagency civilians and one Department of Defense civilian.
- The bulk of the class are U.S. Army, Army Reserve, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard officers.
FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (Aug. 12, 2010) - Capt. Edson Cairo said he doesn't feel any pressure in being the first officer from his country to attend the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.
After all, he was also the first from the South American country of Suriname to attend special forces training at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Cairo said he brings with him an enthusiasm to learn about U.S. Army practices, a chance to share his own native culture and develop partnerships that can help lead his country forward.
Suriname and Kosovo joined the ranks of foreign militaries sending officers to participate in a yearlong Intermediate Level Education program at CGSC, which began with the international flag ceremony Aug. 9. The CGSC ILE class of 2011-01 has 1,040 students, including 69 international officers from 63 countries around the world. The class also includes nine U.S. interagency civilians and one Department of Defense civilian. The bulk of the class are U.S. Army, Army Reserve, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard officers.
Capt. Ismael Diaouari is also in the program this year from Burkina Faso. He said he also looked forward to opportunities for cultural exchange. He said his country, part of the African continent, was not to be confused with other African countries.
"It's a developing country, (and) despite the fact that we don't have natural resources, we have hardworking people," he said. "It's a peaceful country, and we have good relationships with our neighbors."
Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen Jr, commandant of CGSC and commander of the Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth, told international officers their presence not only helps build partnerships between countries, but also provides U.S. officers with a firsthand perspective of each country's culture and terrain. Caslen said this cooperation is necessary to overcome insurgent threats.
"Many nations here today have recognized this threat, and have responded in kind, to stand in the gap between this evil and each nation's security," he said. "We recognize and honor the tremendous sacrifices that you have made to preserve justice and peace throughout the world. It is an honor to stand beside you as we confront this menace."
Marine Corps Maj. Clint Crosser, originally from Parkville, Mo., said he was pleased with the chance to come home.
"I really want to learn about what the other branches of the military are doing and why they do it," he said.
Crosser will be integrated into a staff group of about 16 other students so he'll learn about the Army's decision-making process and be able to share the inner workings of the Marines. Ironing out issues of joint operations was just one of the reasons he was encouraged to attend CGSC, he said.
Army National Guard Maj. Steve Denney is originally from Lawrence, Kan. He said he also wanted to share with his classmates a deeper understanding of the Guard's federal and state missions.
"I feel my classmates probably have a lot of experiences to share," he said.
