"Holiday for everyone!" Top 5 Page for this destination Marmaris by MrOscar
Marmaris Travel Guide: 644 reviews and 1,158 photos
.......... Located where the (36S 51'N, 28W 16 'E) Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet , Marmaris boasts the worlds largest natural harbour, surrounded by pine-clad hills. Situated in southwest Turkey, in the province of Mugla, Marmaris is one of Turkey's biggest tourist resorts. To the north lies beautiful Gulf of Gokova, to the south the Mediterranean. On the west Datca peninsula and to the east Koycegiz lake. The hills running in to the sea and the beautiful bays make Marmaris very special. Marmaris is also close to Dalyan (Caunos), and Ephesus hot holiday and Historical spots of Turkey...
..........Whether youre coming by travel agency or independent, if you are reading these pages, you probably in the search of useful tips and offers that can be helpful during your visit to Marmaris.
..........I am also planning to write an article about Itinerary Ideas for 7 days and 15 days stay ( most of visitors ) that can give practical information before they arrive.... Even if you are already keep coming to Turkey and know most of I am trying inform please keep reading and help me to correct any missing/ wrong information if neccessary....
Well... Here we go...
..........Firstly how to get here... Dalaman Airport (DLM) has daily flights from/to Istanbul and Ankara, and Charter Flights from/to London, Manchester and several countries around the world during the summer months. You can easily book with the different travel agencies by internet or localy for the flights.
..........For those who has booked with the flight and accommodation, Airport Transfers provided by their agency mostly with coaches by dropping every client to their hotels and you are being hosted by Rep for information and any individual needs during your holiday... and those who need airport transfer can find useful information on Transportation Tips section.
.........For those who are concerning about the hotel's location check which district the hotel is located... Siteler and Uzunyali are next to the beach but Beldibi and Armutalan districts are quite far from the sea... Also keep reading and I guess you will find some helpful related information in the Exploring the Town Chapter.
Exploring the Town
Its huge marina, coastal developments and proximity to Dalaman Airport, gives Marmaris is the advantage to be a major destination point for all summer season. Ulusal Egemenlik Avenue lies in the heart of the town, cuts Marmaris in half. The maze of narrow streets east of it is home to most things of interest, though nothing is left of the sleepy fishing village that Marmaris was about seven or ten years ago. Iskele Avenue is the centrum, where the welcoming statue of Ataturk is next to the helpful Tourism Information Office 412 1035 (Open-Mon?Fri 8.30am?noon & 1?5.30/7.30pm; summer also Sat & Sun) Here you can ask for a City Map that you will find it very useful. The School which is just opposite to the Avenue. Bazaar is the place of Town-Nightlife - Shopping. Kalei?i district offers the warren of streets at the base of a tiny castle, making this area a pleasant wander.
The Castle museum 412 1459 (Open-Tues?Sun 8am?noon & 13?17.30pm; approx ?1) has a worthwhile archeology and ethnography collection. The old part of town is a residential area around the castle. The old houses, all under preservation order and the narrow streets leading to them are a delight to explore: there are some classic examples of Mugla architecture on display. Marmaris later began to spread out around the castle hill and along the shore, but the growth of tourism resulted in housing being prohibited along the shoreline and planning permission granted only to tourist hotels. From Iskele Square along the cape through Yacth Marina 412 1439; there are dozens of yachts, bare-boats; vessels, gulets, Daily Tour boats line docked. Also Netsel Marina features a complex; includes a large shopping centre a yacht club, restaurants, bars , cafes ,travel agents, a supermarket, an amphitheater, a swimming pool and Marine maintenance specialists.
Beldibi and Armutalan districts are away from the waterfront (a mile or two), but still offer a variety of good numerous hotels and apartments; mostly with swimming pool and joyful facilities. Alsohere is an impressive choice of hundreds of restaurants where you can find comprehensive and extensive selections of Turkish and International cuisines for every individual taste; since they also offer entertainment when the dinner is over so you can join the party there as well as in the whole town. The Theater in Armutalan offers Live Performances and Concerts during the summer. To the north of the centre where the main Avenue leaves the promonade to the left, Uzunyali district lines through till Siteler, with the most cheerful night-clubs, bars and discotheques open mostly till dawn, so you can end your day in the swimming-beach party when the sun is rising up.
- Pros:There is always something to do!
- Cons:There are too much things to do! ;)

Kendrick Perkins offers one more reason why LeBron James made the 'most hated athletes' list
Kendrick Perkins thinks LeBron James wants to be loved.
Um, who doesn't want a little love?
The Blake-Posterized-Perk Saga took another turn Wednesday. Even though Blake Griffin threw down a thunderous slam over the Thunder big man a week ago, the shock waves continue.
Yahoo! Sports talked to Perk about the episode on Tuesday when the Thunder was in Oakland to play the Warriors, then Perk went on The Jim Rome Show to talk about it some more Wednesday. Much of what he said echoed what he told our man Darnell Mayberry last week. That getting dunked on is an occupational hazard when you're a shot blocker. That Griffin made a great play. That he'd challenge Big Blake again if given the chance.
But then, Perk admitted he was none too pleased with other NBA players who took to Twitter and commented about the dunk. He especially took exception to LeBron.
Here's what LeBron tweeted after the dunk: "Dunk of the Year! @blakegriffin just dunked on Kendrick Perkins so hard!!! Wow! I guess I'm No. 2 now. Move over #6."
James was referring to an alley-oop dunk he'd thrown down over Bulls guard John Lucas III the day before.
Here's what Perk said to Yahoo! Sports about all of that: "You don't see Kobe tweeting. You don't see Michael Jordan tweeting. If you're an elite player, plays like that don't excite you. At the end of the day, the guys who are playing for the right reasons, who are trying to win championships are not worrying about one play.
"They also are not tweeting about themselves, talking about going down to No. 2."
Valid points, for sure.
And by the way, I don't think Perk was criticizing players for being on Twitter. Most of his teammates are on it. He was on it for awhile during the preseason, then decided it wasn't his thing. It seems like his issue is a player using Twitter — or any medium — to demonstrate a me-first attitude instead of a team-first one.
But wait, there's more.
"I just feel he is always looking for attention," Perk said of LeBron to Yahoo! Sports, "and he wants the world to like him."
Hey, could you blame LeBron for that?
I mean, the guy is one of the most hated athletes in professional sports. The fine folks at Forbes Magazine just released a list of the sportos who people hate most. These are athletes who scored the most "dislike," "dislike somewhat" or "dislike a lot" responses.
LeBron was sixth.
He can take heart that he wasn't hated as much as Michael Vick or Tiger Woods, who tied for the top spot on the most-hated list. Then again, LeBron never spent time in federal prison for dogfighting or was accused of more affairs than Casanova.
But still, LeBron ranks No. 6 on the most-hated-athletes list because he's the bad guy who left Cleveland, the villain who took his talents to South Beach but still has just as many rings as he did before.
Dude needs a little love.
And really, who doesn't want the world to like them? Who wants to go around having everyone hate them? I mean, there are some dictators and Republican presidential candidates who seem intent on doing things that make people despise them, but most of us prefer friends to enemies, praises to obscenities, pats on the back to kicks in the backside.
Maybe it's just coincidence that all this has come up the week before Valentine's Day. There are flowers and chocolates to buy, dinner reservations to make and valentines to send.
You suppose Perk is going to send LeBron a valentine?
Doubtful, though when Miami comes to town next month, I suspect Perk might have a little something for him.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of people, many holding signs with names of gun violence victims and messages such as "Ban Assault Weapons Now," gathered in front of the Capitol on Saturday for a March on Washington for Gun Control.
Marchers were led by Mayor Vincent Gray and other officials Saturday morning, and the crowd stretched for about two blocks along Constitution Avenue. Police blocked off half the road.
Participants held signs reading "Gun Control Now" and "Stop NRA," among other messages. Other signs were simple and white, with the names of victims of gun violence.
About 100 residents of Newtown were expected at the march. It was organized in response to the December shooting there that killed 20 first-graders and six teachers.
Kara Baekey of Norwalk, Conn., said she immediately thought of her two young children when she heard about the shooting. She said she decided she must take action, and that's why she joined Saturday's march.
"I wanted to make sure this never happens at my kids' school or any other school," Baekey said. "It just can't happen again."
James Agenbroad, 78, of Garrett Park, Md., carried a handwritten sign on cardboard that read "Repeal the 2nd Amendment." He called it the only way to stop mass killings because he thinks the Supreme Court will strike down any other restrictions on guns.
"You can repeal it," he said. "We repealed prohibition."
Molly Smith, the artistic director of Washington's Arena Stage, and her partner organized the march. Organizers said that in addition to the 100 from Newtown, they expected buses of participants from New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia. Others are flying in from Seattle, San Francisco and even Alaska. A rally was planned on the monument grounds at noon.
While she's never organized a political march before, Smith said she was compelled to press for a change in the law. The march organizers support President Barack Obama's call for a ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines as well as for universal background checks for gun sales. They also want lawmakers to require gun safety training for all buyers of firearms.
"With the drum roll, the consistency of the mass murders and the shock of it, it is always something that is moving and devastating to me. And then, it's as if I move on," Smith said. "And in this moment, I can't move on. I can't move on.
"I think it's because it was children, babies," she said. "I was horrified by it."
After the Connecticut shootings, Smith posted something on Facebook and drew more support to do something. The group One Million Moms for Gun Control, the Washington National Cathedral and two other churches eventually signed on to co-sponsor the march. Organizers have raised more than $46,000 online to pay for equipment and fees to stage the rally.
Lawmakers from the District of Columbia and Maryland were scheduled to speak Saturday. Actress Kathleen Turner was expected to appear, along with Marian Wright Edelman of the Children's Defense Fund and Colin Goddard, a survivor from the Virginia Tech massacre.
Smith said she supports a comprehensive look at mental health and violence in video games and films. But she said the mass killings at Virginia Tech and Aurora, Colo., and Newtown, Conn., all start with guns.
"The issue is guns. The Second Amendment gives us the right to own guns, but it's not the right to own any gun," she said. "These are assault weapons, made for killing people."

It's to supplement the author's (often the professor) income.
Hmm let's see
$130 purchase
turn in value $45
Resell as used book $90
see something wrong here? I hear this every semester (and goodness knows I've experienced that myself! - what I liked was the fact that for a few years - I ran into the fact that the book had a "new" edition that came out - thereby rendering my slightly used book - useless
Economy of scale may enter into play here. If the book is constantly under revision, or is being run in small quantities of a certain edition for each university, then price will be inherently high. Not working in that industry I have not idea how standardized a text is from school to school, etc. I may be way off base here. I usu sally am.

This thread actually reminds me of one of my MBA classes. A friend of mine located a few copies of the book (correct edition and all) selling for $6 on Amazon as compared to $120+ (used) in the bookstore. I ordered it, got it just before the class began in the summer of 2006. The class was titled "Global Capital Markets". I quickly realized why the book was so cheap. It was from 1996... 10 years old! It was the correct book, however. Even though there were newer books on the market, the professor chose to go with this one (probably so he wouldn't have to revise his presentations). Funny part is it talked about how one day soon, Europe would utilize a common currency to be called "the euro" and automatic teller machines (ATMs) would also become more widely used. I am comfortable in saying that I got very little out of that class.
The rate of inflation for textbooks is about four times normal inflation. I generally keep mine, or just borrow the book from a friend.
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
Well tomorrow I will return these books. I had to bring the economics book to class, so I kept it in the original plastic bag. It looks brand new (it is brand new). If I am told that they wont take it back....and I've already purchased a cheaper copy....I will be pretty pissed. By the way, macroeconomics 401 seems like it's going to be a pretty easy class -- easy A. That's okay, that means maybe next year I'll be more eligible for a scholarship, so text book costs wont be so detrimental to my financial well being.
My economics professor is a Turkish immigrant with a heavy accent. I have no problem understanding his words, but I'm not sure if I interpreted him correctly here. He says that when governments establish price floors or ceilings on anything, that it actually makes the problem worse due to an economic law which I forgot the name of. I've never taken economics, so obviously my academic knowledge of the subject is minimal, but this seems like an arguable statement. I'm not sure if he is trying to make some point, or trying to teach his belief has fact.
Oh man you got it coming. Wait for these things to happen
- You professor requires you to get a book. If you dont have it you get penalized. Coincidentally the author has the same last name as your teacher.
- You buy a book off online and for some god awful reason it takes forever for you to get. You can fall behind a little and suck it up, or in certain extreme situations purchase another book only to have the one you ordered come within the next 24 hours.
- Buy a book. Go to sell it back at the bookstore and they wont take it because there is a new edition out after one semester!
- The bookstore has used books that sell for like $10 less then new but are so beat up that if you go to sell them back they say there not in good enough condition. WTF you sold it to me!
- Order a book online only to have some completely random book show up you never ordered.
- Teachers accidentally giving you the wrong ISBN number and you dont find out untill half the class ordered it.
As far as the new editions I hear it in all my classes. I am in college for engineering. The number of engineers in the country is at a pretty low level compared to years ago so the companies need to produce money. So they make a new edition every year. Maybe 20-30 years ago there was always 1 or 2 books used across the whole country and it stayed that way.
With the new editions here is what they change. You get a cool new cover! Maybe some different illustrations. The problems in the back are the same just in a different order. Sometimes all they do is change all the numbers by 4. So problem 20 in 3rd edition is problem 24 in 4th edition and so on.
It really is a big scam. So you have to scam them back.
Buy books for cheap off of ebay, half, amazon, ect... and then sell them back to the school for a profit. I have done it many times.
Also your books will just get more and more expensive. My engineering books are out of control. Sometimes Ill look at the book and be like "good this things gotta be cheap its so small". Turns out to be $180. This semester some of the books look like the school made them themselves and bound them and sell them lol.
If you want to save big money buy the international editions. They are softcover, on really crappy paper. They are exactly the same but have different covers. A $160 book can be had for like $20 shipped.
There are tons of places on campus to post free classifieds. If i ever had to, I always posted my books for $10-15 cheaper than the used book price, which was usually 40-50 more than what i wouldve got if i sold it back to the bookstore.
I was lucky that i knew quite a few people in the year below me, so i never had a problem selling books.
Be glad you aren't in architecture.
MSU Standards:
Books: +/- $400/semester
Required computer: +/- $3000 (needed to run Autocad and Rhino)
Software: $1100
Supplies: +/- $300/semester
Studio fees: $500/semester
On top of all of that, you have ABSOLUTELY ZERO free time for a part time job that might ease the financial pain. You complain about textbooks?

Simply put:
Price ceilings on rent (an idea meant to make housing affordable for everyone)---> housing shortage, increased crime rates, slums, poor neighborhood, inequality in property value where the rich pays the same as the poor.
Historic references include Detroit, and New York City.
This belief is fact, it has been proven consistently. Economic research is intriguing.
One research I came across was the effect of extending sentencing times for gang leaders specializing in drug trade actually increases the amount of drugs available on the market.
Gang leader in jail for 10+ years --> conflict issues with leadership within gangs lead to split and the control of drug trade ---> competition between increased numbers of drug producers thus increased the supply of drugs (Cocaine for example) ---> when supply increases while demand stays constant, drug prices are cheaper, thus more widely available.
Textbooks actually are fairly expensive to produce, considering it takes an expert, or group of experts several years to write, typically, plus quite a bit of editing to add in all those fancy pictures and illustrations, then the printing and binding costs for heavy paper and all those fancy, colored pictures and illustrations.
But not as much as Barnes and Noble charges. They actually sell the same books under different ISBN's in other countries for typically about 2/3 the price. If you look around on Amazon, you can usually find these and save ~$100 a semester. Make sure you order ahead of time though. It can suck going through the first couple of weeks without the book.
WHAT?!? There's no way you need a $3000 computer to run those. The Rhino requirements say Pentium Celeron or higher, and the AutoCAD requirements are similar. That's a $300 computer (although you'd be a masochist to go with the minimum for 3-D modelling).Originally Posted by cypress
That's pretty crappy they make you buy the software, too. Most schools just have engineering computer labs for running all the expensive stuff.
"The internet is a place where absolutely nothing happens. You need to take advantage of that." ~ Strong Bad
There are labs that the students can use, but when it's negative 800 degrees outside, the lab option disappears.

Interesting. I bought that Macroeconomics book on eBay. The location of the auction was Washington State, so I figure it's being shipped from WA. Makes sense, right?
I got UPS tracking info emailed to me today. Naturally, I go to track it and see when expected delivery is. lol, it's not coming from WA state, it's coming from Thailand.
I've taught entire courses based on e-texts found on the internet.
On the other hand, sometimes you end up teaching a course in which it is crucial to have the latest translation or a course which requires a number of recent publications not available on the internet. In that case you're stuck ordering a textbook.
And yeah, they're ungodly expensive sometimes. In 15 years, they've doubled as publishers add gimmicks like color printing and worthless cds.
In the logic class I'm currently teaching, the publisher could have easily printed the solutions in the back of the book or posted them online. Instead, they make students pay for a fancy cd that contains a 1MB .pdf file. But I ordered the book because I think it's by far the best book.

Christmas Lights Decor Ideas
Christmas lights bring the holiday spirit to the house and can supplement for lack of lavish Christmas ornaments. While string lights are great for decorating outdoors there are many ways to use Christmas lights in home decor.
Holiday Decor with Christmas Lights
Christmas Tree
Christmas tree is a common place for Christmas lights but they can also be used instead of an actual tree. Fixed to the wall with a double-sided scotch tape in the tree shape the lights can help you either save on Christmas tree this year or simply enjoy a non-traditional space-saving tree.
Arranging string lights a certain way can make for a beautiful pendant light that you can make a focal point of the room in case you don't have a Christmas tree or it's very small. You can also decorate handmade Christmas ornaments with string lights to give them more a festive look.
To create holiday atmosphere string lights can be hung around the house in a free manner. You can hang them on a tree, on a mantelpiece, on a mirror and other household objects. There are also various types of Christmas lights so you can experiment with them by mixing and matching different light.

Skip to comments.Reid says GOP may have helped Russia annex Crimea

The following is a collection of definitions of projection from orthodox psychology texts.
In this system the distinct mechanism of projecting own unconscious or undesirable characteristics onto an opponent is called Freudian Projection.
Here projection is assuming that others act or perceive similarly according to this definition it is not necessary for a projected trait to be undesirable or unconscious.
Projection is probably inherent in social animals and the single most important psychological mechanism.
The following are given as examples:
I guess he missed his meds...again.
This just in from PMS-NBC News: Harry Reid has just blamed the events of Pearl Harbour and the 1960's earthquake that devastated San Fransisco on Mitt Romney.
This guy is beyond parody!
Where is the turd-le response?
The Commissioner was not dealing with a full deck when he was on the Nevada Gaming Board years ago. But enough influence bought in the right places will cover up a lot of what would otherwise be serious handicaps to public service.
All told, Dingy Harry has the moral stature of a diamondback rattlesnake. That hot Nevada sun baked the skull full of mush in his head early in life.
What did diamondback rattlesnakes ever do to deserve that comparison?
Diamondback rattlesnakes are what they are, and do not pretend to be elder statesmen. That said, elder statesmen are supposed to be responding to some kind of moral compass and employing some kind of rationality in their pronouncements.
Harry Reid lacks both a moral compass and any kind of rational thinking.
Also the snakes don't usually go looking for trouble.
The Boss Just Figured Out Sarah's Plan.
Its all Palins fault.
Youre damned right it is! She saw this coming from her house and she didnt say a word!!!!!
This Stupidity of Reid's hast to be seen to be believed.
This is the kind of Crisis that should have been resolved through Good Diplomacy before it even happened.
Step one of that Diplomacy is not have a Pill Pedaling Homo President working against the U.S.A's best interests.
We should have (and still should) do what Sarah Palin said and that is Drill our our own Fossil Fuels and Natural Gas. That will help undercut the Russian's Enormous Profits they are getting.
There is no downside to drilling for natural gas. None! This is a prime opportunity to sell gas to Europe, we get much needed money, jobs and infrastructure, they get more diversified source of Natural Gas. Everyone wins!
Reid: We have a winner for the "Charlie Manson I'm the Most Crazy Person in the US Award".
Reid: Set to star in the next season of "The Walking Dead" because he's had years of practice at it.
Yes he is a Democrat Party leader and don't you forget it!
Related to Nancy Pelosi? Possibly. Both are crazy as batshit and smell like it too.
Somebody slipped up on who they allowed to board Noah's Ark. They should have checked that list twice.
Dear Democrats: I Can See Your Impending Doom From My House.
Palin 2016.
And Lots of Hugs Rich! :D
Says the insane Democrat leader of the Senate.
All this does is vault Sarah Palin's status as a preiscient statesman.
I must have miss that
I think safe to say Harry Reid need to resign I think we are seeing the signs of alzhermir and demteria in this guy
That what I gather Yikes
Reid should have a net thrown over him pronto!
"This turd needs a good byotch slappin (figuratively...of course)."
No, he should actually have his a** kicked, period!
Senator Harry Reid (@SenatorReid) tweeted at 2:59pm - 24 Mar 14:
Republicans delayed this Ukraine aid package for 10 days because they want an amendment to protect the Koch Brothers. washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-pol
2:59pm - 24 Mar 14
And Ed O'Keefe at the Washington Post takes the stupid b*stard serious and writes an article about it!
Ed O'Keefe covers Congress and politics for the Washington Post. He previously covered the 2008 and 2012 campaigns and reported on federal agencies and federal employees as author of The Federal Eye blog. Follow Ed on Twitter.
Hmm...the WWN pic - Harry's looking pretty good. Who's the guy on the right?
A clone . . . I mean a clown.
Foreign policy is all about the Department of State, which is a Presidential appointment, not something that Harry Reid can say.
FU, Harry you anti-American POS.
Diamondbacks eat vermin. That's quite a few steps up in terms of usefulness contrasted with Mr. Reid. Diamondbacks are also polite enough to let you know if you're getting too close to them.
Harry Reid may have been an asshat in a former life.
Actually, Harry went there and blamed them too!
Absolutely disgusting that he would misuse his esteemed (?) position as a soapbox! There is no honor among Dems!
Absolutely not. See Boxer, Feinstein, Murray, etc.
It would be a first, wouldn't it?
Well, they're calling millions of white female schoolteachers racist (see other FR story/thread) .... why not? Like I said, it's an "available" first.
Problem: He doesn't have one. He sorta comes to a point. Think Smeagol.

Feeling threatened by David's popularity, Silas and Abner plot against him, but this backfires when his absence from the treaty signing with Gath prompts concerns from Gath's leader, who refuses to proceed without David.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, William Cross, the King's brother-in-law, secretly tells Silas that the war has been highly profitable for Cross's company, CrossGen, and asks that peace be delayed. Dialogue reveals that nearly all of the royal treasury is made up of gold on loan from Cross, so when Silas refuses to honor Cross's request, Cross uses his power over the treasury to undermine Silas. Meanwhile, Jack goes on a shopping spree to spite his parents.

Syngenta's products and offers can help address one of the planet's most challenging dilemmas: how to grow more crops using fewer resources. Our ambition is to bring greater food security in an environmentally sustainable way to an increasingly populous world by creating a worldwide step-change in farm productivity. Our ambition encompasses the 8 million large farms worldwide with over 100 hectares as well as the 450 million small farms with 2 hectares or less.
In working towards our ambition, we put the grower at the center of everything we do. With our breadth of technologies in crop protection, seeds, traits and seed treatment, we are uniquely placed in our industry to provide the grower with integrated offers and broad-based innovation for the future.
By thinking like a grower, we are better able to meet evolving needs worldwide. In emerging markets we are enabling technology adoption, while in developed countries we are helping growers to deal with problems such as weed and insect resistance, as well as an increasingly demanding value chain. As awareness of the need to preserve finite natural resources grows, we are developing solutions that can help to ensure the sustainability of agriculture.
Integrate: Our aim is to create integrated offers supported by agronomic expertise and a deep understanding of grower needs now and in the future. These offers must meet differing market requirements and have demonstrable benefits in the field. Environmental, societal and value chain developments have given rise to a plethora of choices and decisions for the farmer. With our expertise, we can help make growing crops simpler and more productive.
Innovate: We maintain a clear focus on bringing strong new products to market. Each of these products offers multiple opportunities for combinations with the existing portfolio and for the creation of integrated solutions. We seek value-adding partnerships and collaborations where these can maximize return on R&D and bring new offers to the grower more quickly.
Outperform: Every day, our customers are measuring the performance of our products in the field. Our aim is to gain market share by consistently demonstrating the benefits of our portfolio. We target an EBITDA margin in the range of 24-26% by 2018, Cash Flow Return on Investment (CFROI) in excess of 12%, and are committed to a progressive dividend policy.

The Pieps Freeride Avalanche Beacon is one of the most compact single-antenna transceivers on the market today. An easy-to-read LCD screen displays distance and dynamic field-flux strength to aid your search, and an accompanying acoustic signal allows you to look away from the beacon to scan the snow while you continue your search. As a single-antenna beacon, the Freeride offers a different style of search that takes more practice and experience than that of a beacon with two or three antennas. For those who use Pieps' iProbe smart-probe, this beacon offers the unique advantage of iProbe support. Once located with an iProbe, this beacon can be temporarily deactivated right from the probe to limit the number of signals in a multiple-burial search. Small, lightweight, and minimalist when it comes to features, this beacon is ideal for the fast-and-light backcountry skier or snowboarder who already has some search experience under their belt and little room or weight to spare.
- Transmission frequency of 457kHz (EN 300718)
- Maximum elliptical range of 40 meters
- Dynamic field line guiding and distinct acoustic signal
- Dynamic flux line indication arrow and distance indication
- Uses one AA alkaline battery, LR6, 1.5V
- Battery lifetime in send mode of 200 hours
- Single or multiple burial symbols
- iProbe Support deactivation
- Battery level indication
- Search-strip width of 30 meters
- Dimensions 4.3 x 2.3 x 0.94 inches
- Weight with battery 3.8 ounces
- Temperature range -4F to 113F

Safety First
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I just got the Freeride beacon and am super stoked to get into the backcountry. This beacon is your baseline beacon. It has a searching feature and allows you to be found. If you are looking to get into any backcountry skiing an avalanche beacon is a must, and this is a great entry level choice. The only drawback to this beacon is that it only has one antenna, which makes it really lightweight.
Happy with these
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought several of these for the family to use skiing inbounds at Jackson Hole. As other reviews mention, these aren't easy to use for searching (single antenna vs. three antennas), though my 8 year old did manage to locate some buried beacons with this thing in the training park. But since we bought these *only* for use in inbounds, patrolled areas (where we don't carry shovels/probes), the search function is really kind of beside the point. The transmit function works comparably to other beacons and the size/weight of these is about half of standard beacons, so in my mind they are ideal for sticking on your kids every single day they ski (they come with holsters but also easily fit in pants' pockets, and the batteries last a very long time). I'll admit I'm neurotic, but these do make me feel a little bit better about my kids skiing in/under some very steep terrain at the resort when the snowpack is iffy.
Time to get a Beacon
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Pieps Freeride is a minimalist avalanche beacon that is most appropriate for low-risk situations where no beacon might otherwise be carried. It is also an excellent spare beacon to carry after you loan your high-end beacon to your unprepared partner who showed up without one. Although it's search function is compromised to save cost and size, it's beacon function is as good as any. Don't feel guilty about giving your partner the good one; you improved his/her survival chances dramatically by loaning him one regardless of what you will have to use to find him with, and he/she will need the easiest system possible because of inexperience with it.
The unit is ruggedly built and very compact, about the size of a smart phone in an otter case. It came with a very nice holster which I will probably never use except for with my ipod, since the unit fits so nicely in the front pocket of my powder pants. I will never ski without a beacon again because of this, even on groomers inbounds. With no inconvenience at all and at a cost of less than $150 there is no excuse to anymore.
I took it to our local beacon training range and put it through it's paces. Sensitivity was fine, although the single antenna design slows down the search considerably. You have to march along at a deliberate pace sweeping it side to side, instead of using the multi-directional DSP system of higher end units and moving along at a faster pace. There was a moment of ambiguity that caused me to go 180� away from the target when a signal was first detected, and I had to triangulate twice to find the exact spot. Not what I would want someone to search for me with, but it beats having them blindly poke around with an avalanche pole.
Bottom line; if you are not carrying an avalanche beacon while engaging in low-risk winter sports, get this. If you are engaging in high-risk winter sports, get something better.
Rating reflects fitness for purpose.

Not suitable for backcountry skiing
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought the Pieps Freeride a couple years ago. During an AIARE Avy 1 course this weekend, the instructor informed me that the Freeride should not be used to conduct searches because having 1 antenna makes them far less accurate and more difficult to use. The beacon has an arrow on the screen, which becomes larger as you search, but the arrow is not directional - it only communicates signal strength. Super confusing/frustrating (as I've experienced during practice searches) if you think following the arrow will help lead you to your buried buddy. The beacon is still useful for being found, so would work well for a dog or a child that won't be searching. Outdoor Gear Lab has a great review of this beacon, if you'd like more information.
Please, unless you are skiing somewhere really remote with nobody other than your dog, no doggie beacon. I love my dog, but imagine that two beacons are buried - one is your ski partner, the other your dog, and you don't know which signal is who.

Is there any way to buy a new carry case...
Is there any way to buy a new carry case for this? As mine has ripped.
Hi Cody,
Unfortunately we don't have just the case available. I recommend contacting Pieps directly to see if they might have just the case.
I wander why this one is quite much cheaper...
I wander why this one is quite much cheaper than the other beacons?
Hey Klara,
This beacon is cheaper because it only uses one antenna, whereas all the new beacons use three. Three antenna are much better because they are much more accurate, and hone in on the specific location much more accurately.
To clarify the last part of what Carver wrote, this does not use any satellites nor do any other beacons. They all use radio waves to transmit and receive location info. Please be sure to take an avalanche course and most importantly practice with your beacon.
Arthur - I'm worried that your message muddles what Carver was trying to say, as satellites were not mentioned in their post. It should be clear that 1 antenna beacons are a less effective way to search for buried victims (compared to 2 or 3 antennas), especially if the user does not have experience and specific training for their use. Reviews online have said that the only appropriate use would be for someone who would not be conducting a search, like children. I strongly agree with your advice about taking an avalanche course and practicing with your beacon. Thank you for mentioning that.

Michigan's efforts to rebuild its peregrine falcon population scored an apparent success Monday.
Department of Natural Resources specialists released a rehabilitated chick in downtown Lansing, hoping to reunite the bird with its parents. The six-week-old male is from the first successful nesting of a falcon introduced to the Lansing area about five years ago.
The peregrine falcon is listed as an endangered species in Michigan. State wildlife officials say pesticides destroyed the population in the 1950s and '60s.

Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep Interview – Discussing Pandora's Swansong With Steve Gibson
Written Friday, May 31, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep marks the closure of Borderlands 2's Season Pass DLC, and for the end of the game's content for the foreseeable future. That means Gearbox Software is going big for the grand finale, setting the entire story-driven add on inside the imagination of one of the series' most unpredictable and unhinged characters.
And so Gearbox is closing out Borderlands 2 with a fantasy parody involving orcs, dragons, living trees, skeletons, wizards and other fantastical cliches, all set in the world of board game 'Bunkers & Badasses', where anything can happen in the blink of an eye.
With the final Borderlands 2 DLC almost upon us, we caught up with Gearbox Vice President Steve Gibson to talk about the end, the future and what we can look forward to before the next Borderlands. That includes Brothers in Arms: Furious Four and possibly even a bit of Duke Nukem. Read on to find out more!
How does it feel to finally put Borderlands 2 to bed with the final DLC?
It feels pretty good. I think the guys are really proud of it. This is the biggest thing we've ever done for a DLC, so everyone's proud to finish really strong and it's gratifying. It's hard to quantify beyond saying that we're really really proud of it and we feel like we've done a good job.
Was the idea of setting Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep all in Tina's head a device to set the team free and allow them to do what they wanted to do?
Yeah... It didn't start like that though. It was a long path to get there, and it started off as Handsome Jack having a niece or nephew who has a little side thing, because he [Jack] does his family a solid, so it's like, 'ok, the nephew needs a job'. So he gets this little side area, and the designers started imagining what if the nephew treated it like a plaything, started treating it like a board game and moved pieces around on you. That evolved more and more into the idea of 'wow, what if you were actually in a game?!'
Then it was like, 'well, who would be the most unpredictable dungeon master in our universe?' And that was Tiny Tina. So it was actually multiple steps to get there, but the reason we chose Tiny Tina was because yes, she was actually a freeing character. You don't know that the hell she's going to do, right? She's got all these different personality quirks.
Was it also partly a response to Tiny Tina's popularity as a character?
Sure, that plays into it too. The characters people reacted really well to we tend to focus more on, but we have to be careful not to overdo it though, because sometimes the charm of them works only in certain quantities. You'll notice with Tiny Tina, because there's more of her in this one, some of her quirks have been pulled back a little bit.
Krieg came out earlier this month. Do you plan to support Borderlands 2 with further DLC characters like the Psycho and the Mechromancer in the future?
It all comes down to whether people like it and want more of it. We built Borderlands with that idea in mind, of being able to do multiple characters, but then it took us a little while to get the second one out. That was actually just the realities of production, like Paul's time. Paul (Hellquist) was Creative Director on Borderlands 2 and he needed a break after we'd shipped all that stuff.
Where do you see the future of Borderlands, specifically from a next-gen perspective?
We have contracts with the first-parties about us talking about that stuff, so it's hard for me to really say anything on the record.
It's kind of a no-brainer to say that you're keen to continue Borderlands.
It would be fair to say that we're happy with the success of Borderlands and we hope there's a future. But we can't go saying we're doing one for sure, because there's publishers and all that fiscal nonsense. I have to worry about shareholders, contracts and stuff! I can't say anything!
We haven't heard anything about Furious Four in a while. What's going on with that?
I can tell you that Furious Four is no longer with Ubisoft, and that the game itself is going to resurface and there's a team right now working on stuff. When it does come round again, it'll be difficult to recognise. We feel really good about some of the aspects of that, but it's going through a lot of changes.
Is Furious Four still a big gamble and a major departure for Brothers in Arms?
We've talked a little bit about that before, and the guys at Gearbox all understood that we're not terribly surprised by how polarising the response was and how confusing it was to see the Brothers in Arms name attached to something like that. But things have changed and we're happy with where it's at now, although we're still in the process of exploring the gameplay and what it is.
Gearbox swooped in to finish Duke Nukem Forever and release it. Would you like to go back to the franchise and make another one?
We didn't really make the last one, so it wouldn't really be us going back to it. We love the brand and we love the idea of a future Duke Nukem, which is why we helped Triptych and 3D Realms finish it.
But the Duke Nukem franchise belongs to Gearbox now?
Yes. We own the brand.
What are your hopes and plans for the franchise in Gearbox's hands then?
Really, a re-imagining or a reboot kind of thing. And you can see that from a lot of the fan reaction. People would like to see a freshening up of that.
Duke Nukem's a popular character, but a lot of people were disappointed by Duke Nukem Forever. How did you feel about the game and having the Gearbox name attached to it?
It's always disappointing to see that everyone's not thrilled with it. There were a lot of people who did like it and the sales bore that out. It wasn't a critical success, but it was a commercial success, so honestly, if I'm going to choose from critical or commercial success, I'm going to choose commercial. That means gamers liked it.
Going back to Borderlands 2 and the Tiny Tina DLC, what were the main goals you were looking to achieve for this final expansion?
We wanted to finish Borderlands 2 in a big way, but also experiment with new gameplay mechanics. In the other DLCs we experimented with storytelling and gameplay mechanics to an extent, but now we're experimenting with design mechanics. You'll see stuff, like the simple idea of swapping characters in and out of the world in front of your eyes, but now also having things like when you first talk to Ellie and your character says something to her, and says it in character, in Borderlands 2 that doesn't happen.
You never speak to other people, but now we're starting to experiment with your character being less Gordon Freeman-esque, and actually saying things with dialogue based on the personalities of those characters. You'll see some of that happening, because people wanted to connect more with their characters. There's transformation that happens more often too, like enemies such as the immortal skeleton, where you have to do a finishing move and pull a sword out of his back. We're experimenting more with that kind of stuff, where you're not just shooting things and they die.
If you look back at Borderlands 1 DLC and see how some of the elements from those appeared in Borderlands 2, obviously we're always thinking about the future of Borderlands, and we always do that in our DLCs. We're always working within the constraints of the code base, but we're always thinking about what we do. That's about the best I can give you about the next-generation as well! DLCs are always our contemplation of the future and our chance to experiment.
Borderlands is a series that's renowned for its sense of humour as well as its gajillion guns. Is it difficult to maintain a level of humour and comedy in the games and across the DLCs?
Humour is not something you can put on a spreadsheet, so yeah, that's incredibly hard. We lean really heavily on a few key guys, and they do one of the hardest damn things there is. Gameplay mechanics can be refined over and over, but if a joke falls flat, sometimes we have no idea what to do with that. That's probably one of the biggest challenges.
What do you think the secret to that is in Borderlands is then?
I can tell you, some of the things we know for sure is that grounding things in a serious premise and having antics on top, works way better. That's a really big deal. You'll notice that the main storyline is actually a fairly serious one, with people dying and lots of really serious stuff. All the comedy is always around that, and that comedy works way better because it's grounded in something serious. That's one of the principles that we figured works well. Outside of that grounding principle, it's really hard.
There's always Claptrap, and he's a good comedy foil. How does it feel to have him as an iconic and recognisable character?
His office is two doors down from me, so I hear that guy a lot!
Does it ever get annoying?
No, not one bit!
It's awesome to have a breakout character like Claptrap. Our artist Scott Kessler who did the concepts for almost all of our characters, he gets thrilled to death when he sees cosplays, and you see Moxxi cosplay all the time. What's awesome is when he designed Moxxi, he designed her with the character being used for cosplay in mind. He said "I want people to cosplay as this character." He actually said that as he was coming up with her. He wanted to build a character with really distinct features, like the top hat and the corset. All those things he made specifically to make it easy for a cosplayer to recreate, and so that stuff happening is awesome. There aren't many people who cosplay as Claptrap, because that's a pain in the ass.
We saw Claptrap crossing over into Poker Night 2 recently. Would you like to see other characters getting cameos in other games?
Oh yeah! That's one of the most flattering things, and we just love it. That's all the guys have been talking about internally. They're so excited to see that. Camaraderie between studios like that is so great and we wish we could see more of that, but it's so hard to make that happen, especially when you have so many different people interested in so many different things. Sometimes it'll be like "who's getting the better end of this deal" and all that kind of stuff once the bean counters get involved, so it can get really complicated.
Did Telltale Games approach you to include Claptrap in Poker Night 2 then?
Yeah. It felt great. Telltale and the nature of their studio, means everyone trusts them. And everyone knows that because they own what they own and they did all this stuff self-published, it's simpler for them to be the middle men for that. Imagine going through four layers of IP-owner, publisher, developer and others, it's really hard. Telltale is in a perfect seat for that, and they know it, and so do a great job with it.
Finally then, who's your favourite all-time Borderlands character?
Hmm... (long considered pause). I kinda lean towards Scooter. I like that he feels like a normal, down-home hillbilly, but then you'll hear him say the most terrible things. I really like that juxtaposition of things. You feel like he's just this fun, good ol' boy, then oh my God that thing he just said or just did! It's really great and I really enjoy that. He still surprises me sometimes.
He's another character that always gets a laugh.
Yes, but only in the right quantities!
Borderlands 2's Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is coming on June 25th for 800 Microsoft Points or as part of the Season Pass. You can read our hands-on preview of the DLC here.

Hindu Gods Are Heavenly
Byline: MARK HUDSON
Chola: Sacred Bronzes Of Southern India
Royal Academy, London
What does God look like?
That's a question that has perplexed the monotheistic religions of the West for millennia, from the medieval Christian idea of a grouchy old man in the sky to the strictures of Judaism and Islam which forbid the representation of just about everything, let alone the face of the divine.
But go to India, or rather go to this magical little exhibition, and the issue doesn't seem problematic at all. The Hindu gods and goddesses - and there are many of them - look just like us, only more graceful, longer-limbed and, let's face it, altogether sexier.
Concentrating on the medieval period when the Chola dynasty ruled southern India, this exhibition presents bronze images of 30 or so deities, many of them 1,000 years old, all in the burnished near-buff and flaunting a pneumatic elegance that gives startling new meaning to the term 'heavenly bodies'.
While there is, of course, no shortage of erotic feeling in Christian art, from Botticelli to Rembrandt, it is fairly covert. But the conflict between sensuality and spirituality that has been such a persistent theme in Western culture seems barely to have registered on the Hindu radar. These gods get up to everything that their worshippers do, and with a guiltless, athletic abandon that can make the mind boggle.
But don't expect anything vulgar-let alone explicit, at the Royal Academy: the exuberant, gravitydefying couplings that adorn many Hindu temples aren't represented.
For the anonymous bronze-casters of the Chola period, it was all in the posture; in the serpentine twist of chests, hips and legs, and the inscrutable half-smiles. While there are plenty of melon-like mammaries, it's the sumptuous, hypnotic flow of lines and forms that gets under your skin. …
