Saturday's night game against Missouri was a must-win affair for Kentucky.
I know fans of Big Blue Nation, the most passionate ones in all of college basketball, did not necessarily agree with me. The bottom line was simple: The Wildcats needed a marquee win to add to their résumé. Going into the game, their best wins to date this season came against Maryland and Ole Miss.
If Kentucky had lost to Missouri, a major opportunity would have been lost.
The Wildcats played more aggressively than I had seen in prior games I'd called this season. The fans at Rupp brought the intensity and emotion out of this young squad.
I was impressed with Kentucky's success playing 5-on-5, with offensive sets working out. The balanced scoring stood out.
Down the stretch, Kentucky came up big on the foul line to put the game away in overtime.
Ryan Harrow looked like a different player. He was ready for the challenge against Phil Pressey & Co. Harrow came out and made some big shots early.
Alex Poythress was more aggressive on the baseline, attacking the basket.
In the second half, Archie Goodwin was a difference-maker. After being held scoreless in the first half, Goodwin came through with a number of big baskets.
John Calipari has a very young squad. They are still in an adjustment period following the season-ending injury to Nerlens Noel. Willie Cauley-Stein has embraced the challenge of being more of a factor in the middle. He also made a key hustle play, diving for a loose ball at a pivotal time.
This Kentucky team is a lot different than last year's national champion. The 2012-13 squad lacks the experience that the title winner enjoyed. Calipari does not have a Terrence Jones, Doron Lamb or Darius Miller to help with the youngsters. Those experienced players made a difference in the locker room and on the court during times of adversity.
While this was a great win for the résumé, the VBDI (Vitale Bald Dome Index) tells me there is still a lot of basketball to be played. This victory does not lock up a bid to the Big Dance. I feel that key road games ahead against Arkansas and Georgia will be crucial. There is also an opportunity to get a huge W at home against Florida. Kentucky cannot afford to stumble in its next game against a Mississippi State team that was blown out at home by Vanderbilt over the weekend.
For now, Big Blue Nation can celebrate a huge victory.

WASHINGTON - ITIF Senior Research Fellow Richard Bennett offered a sharp critique of the latest report from the New America Foundation (NAF) on the quality and cost of broadband service in the United States.
Bennett wrote on ITIF's blog the NAF's Open Technology Institute report "The Cost of Connectivity" offers a misleading and inaccurate critique of U.S. broadband service for a variety of reasons:
- NAF claims the United States is declining internationally when we've actually improved dramatically in the last two years on both wired and wireless speed rankings.
- The report compares the costs of triple-play bundles of TV, phone, and Internet service which go considerably beyond simple connectivity, ignoring the fact that a significant part of U.S. consumers' broadband bills covers the cost of the content. Sports, network television series, and movies tend to have higher contract and production costs in the U. S. than in most other countries.
- It wrongly compares rates charged by boutique ISPs with under 1,000 customers in urban areas to those charged by companies that serve millions of people in suburban and rural areas.
- It ignores the fact that customers in many other countries enjoy hidden subsidies.
"NAF's latest plea for strict regulation of broadband networks sweeps the progress we've made with advanced networking technologies in recent years under the rug. When we're moving in the right direction, it's best to acknowledge reality" said Bennett.
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank at the cutting edge of designing innovation strategies and technology policies to create economic opportunities and improve quality of life in the United States and around the world. Founded in 2006, ITIF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-partisan organization that documents the beneficial role technology plays in our lives and provides fact-based analysis and pragmatic ideas for improving technology-driven productivity, boosting competitiveness, and meeting today's global challenges through innovation.

Sorry, if you do some DD, you will discover many reasons this stock could have tanked, most of which I explained on this board. It took it's big drop yesterday because many other investors felt the same. I have always liked this stock fundamentally and explained originally that I would buy it back when it dropped. The reason you are confused is because I am not a long term trader and as the analysts often do I change my mind from one day to the next depending on oil, jobs reports,market sentiment ect. Incidentally the whisper no for WSM was 27. Stocks that beat whisper numbers often go on for further gains.
I can live with a guy who doesn't stay beyond closing time.
Fair enough. I'm an investor, not a trader. Therefore the mindset difference!
As an investor here I am sure you will do well because WSM is an outstanding co and if West Elm doesn't cause a drag things should be fine. Just remember "Nothing is Forever".

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Fanfic News
Five reasons any writer might want to write fan fiction.
by Elizabeth Hunter (aka E_theHunter)
With all the news lately being on fanfiction, I think this is my favourite article so far. I'll tell you why. First of all, the article is from a recognised fanfic writer who has many fans in the SVM fanfic community and has gone on to publish her own original work, and is gaining success from it.
After meeting such fabulous fanfic writers and reading such incredible fanfics over the years, I believe that fanfiction deserves recognition in the writing community. There have been fanfics that have pulled me into the most amazing stories and have made the characters come to life. Yes, the basis for the fanfics is published works that have already developed the characters and plot; however, some fanfiction writers have shown such talents that their works shouldn't be ignored or dismissed.
I have witnessed new writers gather up the confidence to publish a fanfic and watched their talents take shape and become better writers. Considering traditional publishers or the costs involved in trying to publish your own works, many of these writers would have never been able to get their works read or have the the immediate feedback that they get with fanfiction.
Among Elizabeth's reasons for a writer to write fanfiction, she also recommends an article The Boy Who Lived Forever http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,2081784,00.html which has this great quote, "Right now fan fiction is still the cultural equivalent of dark matter: it's largely invisible to the mainstream, but at the same time, it's unbelievably massive." Of course with many blogs and e~zines talking about fanfiction lately, this may change.
From Dear Author :
Mar 17 2012
Fan Fiction Author Roundtable: Cyndy Aleo, Tamara Allen, Jane Davitt, & Jami Gold
Like I had said in my previous post, Dear Author, is having a series of posts about fanfiction and publishing. This article takes four fanfic writers some who have published original works and poses some questions of what they think about authors who speak out against fanfiction and the future of fanfiction.

One more light for the road...
As you can see.. I am sold on the cateye handlebar / bracket system.. All my lights are modified to accomodate the Cateye quick release spacer 533-8730 and matching handlebar bracket.
Here is a pic of the ultimate geek bike light.. Don't use it much.. but had fun with it. The reflector big enough yet..
Here I mounted the cateye 533-8730 space on the underside of the 500,000 )ie 25 H3 halogen lamp) candlepower spot light.
OF course, I removed the the 6 v 5.0 aH SLA battery and sllip the battery into a used mountain bike inner tube box.. I then re-enforced the inner tube box with strapping tape.. Wa-La.. a good battery carrier and fits nice and tight in a water bottle cage.
I then installed a surface 5.5mm 2.5mm surface jack mount.. for my power cord..
Much obliged.

School board states dismay by the book
Scranton School Board members expressed shock Monday and, in one case, "disgust," over South Scranton Intermediate School being short hundreds of textbooks. That in itself is shocking since the board has known about the shortage since at least October, a month into the school year.
Many students have continued to go home without literature and science textbooks as the board has attended mostly to its internecine political warfare. It has fought at length over committee chairmanships, and some members have chafed at ethics rules promoted by board President Kathleen McGuigan.
And it carefully has selected replacements for members who have resigned, not on the question of who would ride herd over textbook acquisition but on the question of who would tip the board's balance of power in favor of a particular faction.
Textbook availability is primarily the function of the administration rather than the board. But the lack of textbooks at SSIS - and the board's sudden revulsion at the situation - indicates a failure by the board to understand conditions in the schools for which it sets policy.
For example, some board members have strived to preserve an unprofessional practice by which individual members were allowed, in effect, to hire support staffers of their choice. As they attended to appointments of nonteaching and nonadministrative staff, they failed for five years to appoint a curriculum director - an administrator who would ensure that the various district schools are teaching the same material and that students had an adequate number of textbooks tracked through a centralized inventory. The position was filled last year.
It's not clear why teachers, who often appear at board meetings regarding contract matters, did not appear with their principal carrying torches and pitchforks to apprise the board of the textbook situation. Now teachers will file a grievance to help ensure that textbooks are in place - by September.
The board should rouse itself to ensure that the situation is resolved far before then.

Ever go to a restaurant and get seated in the very back? The minute you sit down, you realize you're going to be in for a long night because the waiter always seems to forget you're there.
What if the same thing happens at work and you get seated in the equivalent of the "kids' table."
In the workplace, you wind up with a lot worse than cold soup and an empty drinking glass: You could be passed over for opportunities that could improve your career.
(MORE: How to Say No to Your Boss)
For example, if you telecommute, or if you absent yourself from staff social and networking events, it is easy for others to forget you when the time comes to pass out the plum projects.
(MORE: Make Your Home Office Work for You)
When you don't have true "face time" with the boss or your team, the onus is even more on you to stay engaged via FaceTime or another technology tool.
No matter how busy you are, schedule regular opportunities to touch base to update your boss on your projects and to discuss plans for the future. If you fly under the radar, it's your own fault.
Do your best to participate in staff get-togethers as often as possible, and consider offering to arrange opportunities to socialize that are more conducive to your preferences. For example, if every staff networking event is at the corner tavern and you don't drink, think of more palatable alternatives.
Turn to social media to meet people who don't work with you. Find like-minded colleagues around the city, state, country and globe and exchange messages, insights and ideas. Post links to demonstrate you have your finger on the pulse of your industry. If you play your cards well, you could have some new job offers or invitations to apply for new opportunities without even officially seeking a new job.
Miriam Salpeter is a job search and social media consultant, career coach, author, speaker, resume writer and owner of Keppie Careers. She is author of Social Networking for Business Success, Social Networking for Career Success and 100 Conversations for Career Success.

Ace fashion designer Rina Dhaka feels it is time that Indian women adopted cotton as the fabric needs attention.
"The only thing that I am involved at the moment now is to try and awaken the cause of cotton and to bring it back in fashion like in Mahatma Gandhi days. We all should discard our silks and give preference to cotton," said Dhaka on the sidelines of a panel discussion arranged by the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry) Ladies Organisation (FLO) Tuesday.
To bring cotton back in fashion, the designer has associated herself with an NGO called "Shop For Change" which works with farmers in Vidarbha, a region in Maharashtra that is known for producing cotton, along with many different areas in India.
"The foundation (Shop For Change) cuts the middleman percentage and helps improve the farmer's livelihood. As of now cotton is great for summers, but we can't use it for wedding purposes and also as an expensive clothing, so I am trying to break this notion. Try and wear cotton saris," she added.
The designer also feels that fashion plays a significant role in bringing change in society.
"Fashion raises loads of money. In the past, I have seen many international shows where lots of money was raised to contribute in NGOs so I think fashion helps in a big way," she said.

"I don't think the word 'disappointment' quite makes it. I was surprised," says Angelou about Common's use of the n-word on "The Dreamer", where she reads a poem. "I know that Common is brilliant — he may, in fact, be close enough to be called a genius, I'm not sure. I know we're all in process, and young artists are in process."

I can't see the video/pix that goes with this, but I hope to God there isn't a typo as blatant as putting "Mayo" instead of "Maya." Maybe I'm not with it like I think I am, and Dr. Mayo Angelou is a noted hip-hop critic that I've never heard of. If not, please fix the mistake. If so, my bad.

The Spiked Apple: No sweet treat harmonizes with crisp holiday weather better than apple pie — except frothy, tippling, chilled apple-pie-in-a-glass.
Combining apple spice compote and rosemary-caramel syrup (both house-made) with traditional Hennessy VS cognac and Frangelico, staff at the progressive tapas lounge Mercat a la Planxa have unexpectedly created a spiked beverage so reminiscent of family holidays you'll want to jump in a leaf pile afterward. Caramelized Granny Smiths, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, apple cider and floating flecks of fresh rosemary achieve fresh-out-of-mom's-oven taste.

Who would've thought our Battle of the Boy Bands could get so ugly? The BB free-for-all is already in full swing, as the respective fanbases vote for their favorites and sling mud at the competition. Not that 112 are the least bit worried. Slim, Q, Daron and Mike got their start on Diddy's Bad Boy Records and have been besting boy bands since their 1996 self-titled debut.
Oh, you aren't convinced 112 have what it takes to beat out the best of all time? Just check the stats! We thought Diddy told y'all that they won't stop — eh, eh, eh, eh!
Highest Chart Achievement
By the time One-One-Deuce dropped Part III in 2001, they'd long proven their dominance in the world of R&B, but it was "Peaches & Cream" that would establish them as a formidable pop act. The naughty dance hit became their most popular track after it peaked at #4 on the Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
Standout Video
Before "TRL," it was 112 who were bringing the party to Times Square. The Atlanta quartet rode in an open-top hummer and danced the night away in their 1996 "Only You" remix video. To top things off, Slim and company not only brought the Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy along for the ride, they also introduced the world to Ma$e. Which other boy band can boast that?
Defining Tune
Making crowds dance was damn-near a prerequisite for any artist signed to Diddy's Bad Boy label, and 112 had quite a few party-starters in their catalog. Still, it was the group's 1997 ballad "Cupid" that gave them ultimate staying power. The acoustic love song more than showed off the quartet's vocal chops and, more importantly, made young girls everywhere swoon.
Debut Album
112's self-titled debut came at the perfect time. The band capitalized off Diddy's penchant for producing perfect R&B/hip-hop mash-ups and their double-platinum first LP not only featured the Notorious B.I.G., but Ma$e and Mr. Cheeks as well. Thanks to Puff's vision, 112 were able to capture the street audience that the clean-cut Boyz II Men could not in a post-Jodeci era.
Biggest Competition
If 112 hope to make any strides in the Battle of the Boy Bands, they have to get past 'NSYNC in a possible second-round matchup. Not that Diddy's foursome should be overlooking LFO, but Justin Timberlake and company will be especially tough to overtake.
Now Slim is humble enough to admit that if it isn't 112, his favorite boy band is New Edition, but be clear: He wants your vote.
"First of all, 112 brought a lot to the game," Slim pointed out to MTV News. "When we first came in, we were in the biggest music movement signed to Bad Boy with P. Diddy. With that, we were probably the first group to bring hip-hop and R&B together."
Voting in round one of MTV's Battle of the Boy Bands is now open and runs until noon ET on Thursday, April 26. Winners are determined by fan votes, so if your favorite band made the cut, make sure you keep voting. Spread the word on Twitter using the hashtag #BBB and like us on Facebook for updates!
Vote for your favorite band, discuss and share on Facebook and Twitter in the MTV Battle of the Boy Bands interactive bracket!

Ah! Spring allergies, the boon of the nerdy artist! I suffer them so bad that I often spend time heavily sedated from allergy medication. Where I live we also have wind storms (with lots and lots of dust and pollen) instead of spring rain.
Beautiful work, btw! I love the depth you always manage to put your subject in. You can almost hear the echo in this place!

Why Should A Small Business Decide On BPO Outsourcing?
Business process outsourcing occurred as corporations began to realize that they were carrying out a few procedures which, while very significant and indispensable, were not really linked with the sort of activity that they were performing. Revenue was being invested to teach folks and buy equipment that those folks used in carrying out their duties. This was definitely not a perfect scenario, and in the 1990s, numerous companies simply just needed to cut down on expenses where they could to pull through the hard economic conditions. Though a couple of procedures were already outsourced, BPO exploded throughout this decade and beyond. Right now, the industry is projected to be really worth $180 billion.

Ecological Concerns in Europe Spawn New Breed of Clean Cards
Block, Valerie, American Banker
Money may not grow on trees, but Sweden's Ecocard, a biodegradable payment card made of wood, could make shopping a greener experience.
Invented for Telia, the Swedish phone carrier, as an alternative to plastic phone cards, the wooden cards are taking root with other issuers, said Mats Lijemark, one of five Ecocard partners.
Swedish consumers are concerned about using cards made with polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, a chlorine-based compound that releases dioxin when incinerated. Dioxin is considered toxic to animals and humans, causing damage to reproductive systems.
Some European countries intend to ban the pervasive plastic. Germany requires issuers to recycle all plastic cards.
In response to the environmental concerns in Sweden, Telia planned to distribute 3,000 wooden cards at a sporting event, but axed the test in the final hour.
Gunnar Benedikt, Telia's manager of telephone cards, explained that the birch cards were not durable. "If you take plastic, you can torture it, but wooden cards will break quite easily."
Telia has opted to issue chlorine-free plastic cards instead. Cards made of ABS, a plastic familiar to U.S. consumers in the form of Legos - the building toy - will be available by January. PETG, a polyester used to make bottles for Coca-Cola and other beverages, is another plastic possibility. Telia has a recycling program for the nondegradable items, but "because they (the cards) are collectibles, it's hard to get them back," said Mr. Benedikt.
Gieseke & Devrient may win a contract to produce the new cards. The German manufacturer produces ABS cards and is promoting its new "ecard," made of PETG.
Schlumberger, the French card maker currently producing Telia's PVC phone cards "will look into the possibility of moving over to better materials," Mr. Benedikt said.
He said the new cards would cost slightly more, but "we have a very strong opinion against PVC in Sweden. …

Dancing With The Stars: Romeo And Chelsie Hightower's Parting Words
May 11, 2011 02:00 PM by Allyson Wells
Romeo and Chelsie Hightower were eliminated just shy of making the semi-finals on Dancing with the Stars. Both Romeo and Chelsie appeared on Good Morning America to discuss the show. They also reveal which remaining contestant they think will win the mirror ball trophy.
Romeo told Good Morning America that his experience on Dancing with the Stars made him a stronger person. "I was terrified of dancing. It was one of those things where I just hated to dance. I was a big entertainer, but before 'Dancing with the Stars' and before I met Chelsie, I wasn't that good of a dancer at all. So the show definitely opened my eyes up and changed my life to have no limits. I'm fearless now."
Romeo also had high praise for his partner and the judges. "I definitely enjoyed this journey. People don't really understand how hard dancing really is. I loved the judges. I'm really used to tough criticism and I think that the judges actually made me better. They were on me when I messed up and they gave me praise when I did good and that definitely pulled me through. I think they made a terrific ballroom dancer out of me."
Chelsie is proud of Romeo's efforts on the show. "He was definitely not open to doing a lot of everything that I wanted him to throw in the beginning. The more he got into it the more he loosened up and kind of took it by storm and just really embraced the whole thing."
As for who will make the finals, Chelsie and Romeo have differing opinions. Chelsie thinks that it's about the choreography. "When it comes down to the finale, it really comes down to who has the best freestyle. So at that, I think that Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas will have a pretty good freestyle so I might say that they might take the whole thing." Romeo recognizes what Kirstie Alley is doing. "She's showing that age is just a number and I think everybody is behind her because of that."

Neither the White House nor the scientists would disclose what was said. Dr. Isador Rabi, chairman of the committee, told reporters, "anything you want you will have to get from the President's office." And White House press secretary James C.

Reports from both sides of the country said Sputnik had been sighted early today. Ambassador G. L. Mehta of India said he saw it from the terrace of the Indian Emba.ssy in Washington at dawn today.

He said the satellite's orbital plane apparently is turning faster as a result of the force, thus preventing electronic computers from accurately determining the orbit on the basis of normal gravity. But, he went on, gravity still accounts for 99 per cent of the total force acting on Sputnik. Rep. Scrivner Here Thursday Congressman Errett P.

Google Nexus Unveiled: The Nexus Beats iPhone In Battery And Screen Performance
Google Inc. is going to unveil Nexus One on Tuesday in a bid to control mobile surfers and the market dominated by iPhone. The Nexus One would be released in a press event at its Mountain View, California, headquarters today, January 5.
According to Charles Golvin, an analyst with Forrester Research Inc. in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Nexus One phone probably will be sold directly by the company as well as through a wireless carrier.
A reports from Engadget and other tech blogs says that the new operating system is fast with a speedy 1-gigahertz Qualcomm Inc.'s Snapdragon processor; a 4-gigabyte SD flash card to facilitate storage of programs and media files; and a track ball for navigation. The 5-megapixel camera is really pretty good for a cell phone. Unlike the iPhone, it has also has a flash. It has 3.7-inch (9.4- centimeter) screen, about the same size as the iPhone's, actually appears to have slightly higher resolution. The Nexus One holds at charge for at least 24 hours, and maybe more. Evidently, the Nexus One beats the iPhone.
The Nexus One can store videos and music but it doesn't have a connection to iTunes and that is likely to make it unappealing to many people who want that convenience. It also doesn't have access to Apple's app store.
Customers will be able to buy the phone and then choose between T-Mobile and AT&T:
Google will likely offer the customers two purchase options for its Nexus One – the device will either be available for $180 with a two-year T-Mobile contract; or for $530 without a contract. But analysts expect Google to address the cost difference through advertising on the phone, or by other means. One possibility, Burden said, is that Google will be willing to sell the phones at or below cost as a way of ensuring Android, or some other future product, has a longstanding place in the market.
Google rose $6.77 to $626.75 yesterday in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares more than doubled last year.

Thank you everyone for your valuable input. Sorry I couldn't reply earlier because I was trying to retrieve the account that I originally posted with. (I forgot my password, and turns out, there's no way you can reset your password if you are only registered for myFICO forums, so I had to make a new account.)
Anyway just wanted to update you guys. I did call the recon number again around 20 days after I initially talked with them, which was this Monday. So credit analyst I got was aware that I had called them four times and asked them to reconsider THREE times already and she said I CANNOT recon again (obviously) and she also said I wasn't supposed to recon more than once. So I was left disheartened and I was probably going to leave it at that but for some reason, I don't know what I was thinking or why I did that, but I called them once more a couple of minutes later! Now I knew I was going to be rejected again, but I probably did it to just hear the rejection one last time. So she asked me the same questions as the other credit analysts, she asked me about my current CITI credit card, and I think she wasn't aware that it was a secured card. So I answer all the questions honestly, she puts me on hold for about 4-5 mins, then comes back with "Congratulations!" I literally replied "Are you serious!" because this was the one call where I was least expecting to get approved. I don't have words to describe what I felt at that moment.This would've never been possible if it weren't for this forum and everyone on it.
I would just like to thank you guys again. Had I never come across this forum, I would've never learned about recons and would've still been sulking over my denial letter. So to all the people out there in the same boat as me, NEVER give up hope on recons!
Congrats!!! whats the CL???
Re: Chase Freedom CC/Recon
Thanks everyone! The CL I've received is $500. I know it's not much at all, but it's still better than being denied. And I also think I only the credit analyst matched this CL with my CITI Secured CC's limit, which is also $500, because the last thing she asked me before she put me on hold was about my CL with CITI. I'm still suprised she didn't know about my BofA card, because I was under the impression that they usually have access to the latest credit report.
And to clear the confusion of some of the posters here, I am the OP. The reason I had to make a new account was because I forgot the password to the account that I posted with initially. I tried resetting the password, but it kept asking me for my SSN. Since the account was forums only, I never entered my SSN when I registered for it, so it was of no use. Anyway, I'm just happy I finally got the CC I wanted.
Also, is Chase Freedom a prime card? What exactly makes a card prime or sub-prime, is it the CL?

Great trip - great guide!
Tour guide was great
A great day! The Great Wall is compulsory when in Beijing. The lunch was good. We loved our local guide Kevin who spoke perfect English. He even took us to a silk-market after the tour, which meant that he had to work 2 hours more than required. He booked a restaurant for us in the evening and called in to ensure that we were doing fine. Fantastic service!
The tour was fantastic. We got the the wall early, before other tours got there resulting in us having a nearly empty wall experience for the first portion of the tour. We had flexibility to take time to do what we wanted on the wall and it didn't feel at all rushed.
Great experience. The early start was well worth it as we were one of the few people on the wall for the first couple hours of being there. The lunch spot we went to was also very good. Obviously no frills but very tasty and a nice way to end all the walking.
Walking on the Great Wall is an amazing experience, one that my son and I will never forget. We enjoyed our guide, Kevin, but he and his driver's role were primarily to get us from Beijing to the Great Wall. He provided some interesting commentary on the way, but when we got to the wall, we were really on our own. Walking on the wall is quite challenging physically--not only does it do up and down with the topography, the so-called restored section we were on was extremely tricky to navigate--rough, uneven steps, etc. Take the chair lift up to the wall and the toboggan down--both fun and a little scary, but that added to the experience.
My experience was incredible. I was in Beijing for a couple of days on business, with one free day. This tour is perfect for a single person or couple looking for a very personal memory. Kevin, my guide, was exceptional and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, knew where to go on the wall and generally had a worry free experience. were quick to respond to my email and communications pre-tour.
I was the only person on the tour, and the benefit of leaving early 7am pick-up from Sunworld was that I was literally the only person on the wall, asides from the maintenance crew, for the first hour of my visit. Breathtaking. I recommend walking out to Tower 1, then walking past the No Admittance sign to the first un-renovated tower. Take a seat, and soak in the peace for a very spiritual experience.
The lunch post-tour was great, very local and tasty. Kevin does all the ordering so no need to worry if you can't speak the language. He also organized a taxi to T Square, and came along for the ride, to make sure I was safe and dropped off at the correct point. Such a great guy. Very thoughtful, knowledgable about the wall and Beijing and a very caring human.
Kevin was very flexible with the tour time as well. I felt I only needed two hours on the wall he gives you three so was able to head back into Beijing early and tick Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City of my list. All before 4pm. You are probably best to take the cable car up to the wall and the toboggan down an additional 100 Yuan to make the most of the time you have.
Overall my experience was 5/5 and I thoroughly recommend this tour, tour company, guide and driver!
Excellent tour for a once in a lifetime experience
Amazing day visiting the Great Wall! Winter is spectacular there (but very cold!) and not crowded in the least. Kevin was an outstanding tour guide and very knowledgable. Highly recommend this tour!
I had the best time at the Great Wall of China with Dennis as my guide. I was lucky as I was the only traveller. Dennis gave me plenty of information about the Wall and China and answered all of my questions. We arrived at 9am and were greeted by a winter wonderland. The Great Wall covered in snow was breathtaking. I am glad we left Beijing that early because we were almost the only people on the Wall for about three hours. I had plenty of time to take pictures and to discover everything. The lunch at a local restaurant was also very good. As the description says there are no shopping stops. Thank you for such an amazing once in a lifetime experience.
Dennis was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and considerate. Highly recommend this trip - I'm not a morning person, but it was worth getting up early for!!
This is a fun exciting and must do thing. You will be one with history and be able to see and walk the Wall. It is a bit challenging but you probably need the exercise - take the toboggan down - fun and not scary at all. Only negative is that the tour starts early and a simple sandwich or something would have made a great difference. Lunch was very interesting and good on the local restaurant. Guide great!
The Great Wall walk was breathtaking with magnificent views and Tracey was a great tour guide. Certainly one tour not to miss!
Fantastic day! Of course the wall was amazing, as expected. I loved the flexibility to go off on my own at the wall. My calf muscles were in agony the next day from all the walking on the wall .... it was unexpectedly steep and challenging! Our guide, Kevin, was amazing! He was so friendly and helpful. I was chatting to him on the bus on the way back about wanting to see an acrobat show. He actually took the time to take me and a couple of others to the theatre, bought us good tickets, got us upgraded and then waited for us until the show was over.
Awesoke your arriving at wall before the big bus loads came in! Lunch was great looking up at the wall! The chair lifts up and taken the toboggan down was the best way to get up and down the wall! Loved it and highly recommend it! We are are family of 3 including. 5 year old daughter
Great price for what it included! The transport from Beijing to the Wall was roughly 2 hrs each way. I spent about 2 hrs hiking the Great Wall and it was absolutely amazing! Beautiful views around and just an amazing feat to visit one of the Ancient Great Wonders of the World. Viator tour also included a family-style lunch at a nice restaurant at the bottom of the mountain where we the buses park. Overall, highly recommend this trip!
Excellent trip, great guide
Our tour guide Vivian was amazing and the tour was perfect. We arrived at the Great Wall very early and got to spend about 3 hrs visiting Vivian's recommendations. The hike was a bit challenging but the view was worth it! We also visited a local restaurant with delicious food! Highly recommend!!
Vivian was a great tour guide. Got to the wall very early and beat the crowds. Recommend.
Good organization. Informative. Knowledgeable guide. Safe driver. I am glad I chose that tour.
no hidden shopping stops, great tour guide, part of the great wall with not to many tourists, lunch was o.k.
My day on the wall was tremendous. I was the only one on the tour so ended up having my own personal guide. It was fun and informative form start to finish
great experience, guide vivienne very helpful, highly recommended.
Beautiful. Well worth the trip
Our best tour guide yet - this is a must event when in Beijing.

I have an ipv6 tunnel that refuses to work until traffic goes outbound. if I turn the device on and ping in, I get no response until the second I start to ping out. if I then walk away for a few hours and try to ping in again, I'll get no response.
I'm using Debian Lenny and Hurricane Electric for my tunnel. I'm not even sure where to begin debugging this behavior because it's so unusual. I've used both of the Debian configs from http://www.tunnelbroker.net/forums/index.php?topic=18.0 and the configs from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIPv6 and a variety of tweaks in between, but I still cannot get the device to persistently accept inbound traffic. there's no ip6tables, but I do have a variety of iptable rules. has anyone else experienced this kind of issue? what could I possibly do to debug or solve this?
edit: there's no NAT involved and it's all IPv4 Cisco infrastructure. I dont think there's any IPv6 between me, the switches and the router.

Americana and feed sold at Tom's Hay Farm
CALEXICO Over the course of the next six weeks or so, thousands of bird hunters will make their way to Imperial Valley for some of the best dove and pheasant hunting in the state.
Migratory doves will wing at high speeds, and resident and stocked pheasants will be kicked out of brushy fields, canals and irrigation ditches. Transitory ducks and geese will be hunted in ponds, at the Salton Sea and elsewhere.
Here on the western edge of Calexico, hard by Signal Mountain and the Mexican border, Tom Brundy's Hay Farm headquarters represents a slice of Americana that has been lost in this day of communication gadgets and plugged in social networking.
At Tom's Hay Farm, the communication is face to face, eye to eye or by an old-fashioned phone call. His father and grandfather were in this Valley when the Internet of the day was the Morse Code that sang in the wires. Trains ran.But that was when cattle ranches ruled. Farming was on the horizon.
At this time of year, Brundy welcomes hunters as well as clients who need hay, feed or other necessities for their ranches, big and small. And new this year is another feature at his place off Highway 98, his own version of a tractor supply and feed store. Your belt buckle and your cowboy hat don't have to match the size of your ranch in order for you to shop at Tom's store. He's an equal-opportunity seller of hay and other stuff.
Brundy is boot-deep in this land he loves.
"What gets lost is the fact that we're really only 100 years old here in terms of our pioneer history," Brundy said in an interview back at the start of dove season in September. "We have a tremendous ecosystem that has been created out here in the Valley. There are trees and plants that hold animals that have been pushed out of the cities elsewhere. There is just a phenomenal traffic of migratory birds here in places where there was nothing before."
Brundy is bullish on Imperial Valley's role in the world in terms of what happens to the many crops grown in a place called the "Breadbasket of the World."
"We feed the world," he said. "But we not only feed people, we feed animals and birds with the habitat we create here."
Brundy said the increase of waterfowl showing up in the drains and canals in recent years is something new, a great example of how the farming practices here have led to new wetlands for waterfowl and other wildlife.
"There were never ducks in our drains, but there's not a drain today that you can't visit and find ducks in it," he said.
He said the birds and animals have relocated and thrived here for a reason. They're escaping the traffic, the roads and the lack of habitat elsewhere.
Brundy is a first-generation farmer. His father, Walter, ran cattle.
"My dad hustled feed for cattle," Brundy said. "Folks like Art Linkletter, John Wayne, Merv Griffin, they all bought cattle to him. He ran a lot of beef cattle. He'd grow sugar beets and the cattle would eat the tops off the sugar beets."
Brundy's father arrived in Imperial Valley in 1950. He'd worked on the railroad, following his father, who also worked on the railroad.
"Back then, Calipatria and Niland were the hub of Imperial County," he said.
Brundy said Imperial Valley was the "best place in the world to grow up."
"I never hunted," said Brundy, 55, who lives in Seeley. "When I got time off or needed to take a break, I'd hitchhike to Coronado and stay on the beach there. Interstate 8 didn't exist then. Old Highway 80 was the road then. And when it snowed, we'd get up to the mountains and ride innertubes down or sled in it."

When Tracy Blanchard tells prospective retailers about her new shrimp dip, she makes sure to mention that party hosts can mix it with rice or add it to hollowed-out green peppers before roasting. But the Charleston entrepreneur knows most of her customers won't bother with recipes this Super Bowl Sunday.
"I think the beauty is just being able to open it up and serve it," Blanchard says.
Blanchard and her husband, Tony, last year launched Big T Coastal Provisions as a financial breakwater after the recession took down Tony Blanchard's seafood shop. Soon after debuting their crab dip in a few stores, the Blanchards won contracts with major supermarket chains, putting their product in 800 stores nationwide. Their newest buyer, Giant, is slated to add another 400 stores to the tally within a month.
"We're increasing our footprint up the coast," Blanchard says proudly.
The company growth spurt has taught Blanchard a number of lessons about the food industry: In the past year, she's become well-versed in co-packing; grocery logistics and the seafood trade.
For example, while the crab dip was inspired by a longstanding family recipe, the shrimp dip, scheduled for release this week, was developed in response to market trends.
"Shrimp is the number one seafood choice among Americans, so it has the same chance or better (to succeed)," explains Blanchard, who quickly grasped there wasn't much space for sentimentality in the rough world of commercial dips.
"I had always made shrimp dip," says Blanchard, who initially planned to convert her recipe for mass-production, just as her husband had adapted a decades-old preparation for the crab dip. "But the genesis for what it is now came from the Harris Teeter buyer. He said, 'Why don't you just use your crab dip base?'"
So they did, adding lemon and horseradish.
And while the Blanchards tasted manifold shrimp before selecting a dealer, they knew from the start that they couldn't maintain their $6.99-per-tub (8 ounces) price point if they used domestic seafood. "I wish I could say it was local, but there's no way we could make an affordable product," Blanchard says. The shrimp is sourced from Thailand, while the crab still comes from Mexico.
Not every store that carries the crab dip and jalapeno crab dip, added to the line in November, has signed on for the shrimp dip. But "thankfully, with Harris Teeter, they are automatically taking us on," Blanchard says.
Big T Coastal Provisions dips are also available online at bigtcoastalprovisions.com.
