At Original Diving, we need to understand what you like before we can truly say what you'll love.
The Original Diving Team.. About Us
Liveaboard Luxury
The Azores offer some of the best diving in Europe (think mantas, whale sharks, blue sharks and more), which can now be experienced from the luxury of Original Diving's exclusive liveaboard.
Neill - Original Diver. Water & Wind: Exclusive Liveaboard in the Azores
Epic diving & culture
About as remote as you can get and filled with world-class diving and more natural and cultural wonders than you can imagine. We give you Papua New Guinea.
Neill - Original Diver. Papua New Guinea
Wonders of Indonesia
The epicentre of marine biodiversity, it is hard (nay, impossible!) to find better than Indonesia when it comes to all-round diving.
Louisa - Original Diver. Raja Ampat
Tropical island paradise
Looking for that quintessential tropical island getaway? Look no further than the Maldives. Stunning islands, marine life and more.
Louisa - Original Diver. Maldives
Far away from it all
The Quirimbas Archipelago in northern Mozambique offers wonderfully remote lodges and the best diving we have found in East Africa. It is magical.
Neill - Original Diver. Northern Mozambique & Quirimbas Archipelago
Marine life odyssey
Head to the Philippines for thresher sharks, whale sharks, macro and so much more. One of our favourites.

Raja Ampat just happens to sit right on the bullseye of the Coral Triangle, which is the area of highest marine biodiversity on earth. With more species of fish and coral than anywhere else on our planet, the diving here is jaw-dropping.
Whether travelling with young kids or a grown family, we have found the ultimate family diving destinations for you.
Portugal is an eternally popular destination within the Original Travel team, and the off-shore-off-shoot of the Azores is no exception. This cluster of islands in the heart of the Atlantic is a scuba divers dream, and we can think of no better way to explore than on the Water & Wind Liveaboard, exclusive to Original Travel.
Find the perfect romantic destination for your diving honeymoon. We have found quite a few.
This is one of the last few genuine frontier areas left on the planet. Mention Papua New Guinea and people will probably have visions of cannibals marauding through the jungle. Well, nowadays, the only headhunters you're likely to come across are Australian recruitment consultants on holiday, but they – and you – would be among the first people to explore what is a truly original destination.
Two different coastlines, two totally different types of diving, both offering something very special.
If you want the ultimate in liveaboard luxury then look no further than Silolona. It really doesn't get much better.
The Laucala Island Resort in Fiji is without a doubt one of the world's top island resorts and once there it is easy to see why. It is very, very special.
The Azores offer world-class diving; we think the best in Europe. It also offers some amazing activities around its volcanic scenery.
Vamizi Island is an eight-mile long finger of jungle covered island, fringed by idyllic sandy beaches and pristine coral reefs. It also happens to be about the most idyllic barefoot luxury destination on the planet.
The Oberoi at Sahl Hasheesh is a wonderful base from which to explore. An all suite hotel spread over seemingly endless acres and with a wonderful wide beach, this resort offers traditional Egyptian hospitality at a very competitive price. A Red Sea bargain!
Home to some of the best diving on earth, incredible landscapes and world class hotels, Indonesia is one of our favourite countries. There are some 17,000 islands to choose from but we know the very best spots to head to.
The Maldives is a world-class diving destination, particularly if you like diving with big fish. Above the waves you find pure white sand, blue seas and world-class hotels. What's not to like?
The Philippines has an incredible amount of variety in the form of WWII wrecks, pristine reefs, world-class muck diving and one of our favourites: the thresher shark.
The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is made up of four states from West to East: Yap, Chuuk (previously known as Truk), Pohnpei and Kosrae. Theses states make up approximately 607 islands (only 65 are inhabited) spread over 2,500km just north of the equator in the Western Pacific.
Galapagos liveaboard diving, simply the best way to dive the Galapagos Islands.
Stunning soft corals, great marine life, beautiful beaches and the 'friendliest people on Earth'. What's not to like about Fiji.
Scattered like dabs of possibility on an adventurer's palette, the Bahamas are ready-made for exploration. Just ask Christopher Columbus, he bumped against these limestone landscapes in 1492 and changed the course of history.
If Robinson Crusoe was in hotel development, he would have built Soneva Fushi. A luxury hideaway on the island of Kunfunadhoo in the Baa Atoll reached by a half-hour scenic seaplane flight from the sanctity of the private lounge in Malé, the only international airport.
Sharm el-Sheikh is an oasis in the desert covered Sinai peninsula, featuring luxurious hotels and world class diving.
Private tented camps, yachts and diving are what make this trip so special. You just can't get it anywhere else.
Combine great safari experiences with some of the best diving in East Africa.
With some of the most pristine reefs on earth, Wakatobi is paradise for those that love coral and the small stuff - particularly the pygmy seahorse!
Komodo is a stunning destination both above and below the waves. This national park has some of the very best diving on earth.
Located midway between the Philippines and Guam in the western part of the Caroline Islands (this eastern part is known as Micronesia), the nation's claim to fame is now its world-class diving...
Amanpulo Resort is Pamalican Island. The name means 'peaceful island', and it's easy to see why. Pamalican's 250 pristine acres are totally tranquil, with nothing but the luxurious 40-room hideaway, verdant vegetation, exotic bird life and what must be one of the planet's all-time greatest beaches, a seemingly endless stretch of the finest white powder sloping into clear turquoise waters.
The place to stay in Sharm El Sheikh is the Four Seasons, an island of peace and security.

Since arriving at Original Diving in 2012, Papua New Guinea has always been at the top of my travel list. Not only did the diving appeal, but the wildlife and culture is so varied that I was eager to experience it all (I have David Attenborough to thank for a lot of this!) Luckily, last…
Summer. Even thinking the word brings on visions of Pimm's in the garden, the distinctive waft of barbecue and most of us Brits sporting some fairly interesting tan lines (read: burn lines). And thankfully Summer is finally on its way. But while the Great British Summer can be marvellous,…
For years, we've been desperate for an exceptional quality diving liveaboard in the Azores. Finally, we have one in the luxurious Water & Wind. What's more, we're incredibly excited to say that we are the exclusive UK partner for the boat - so if diving in the Azores is on the to-do…
Coming up to my 20 year "anni-diver-sary", having logged over 2,000 dives from destinations such as Thailand, Oman, Indonesia, Malta, and the Philippines (to name but a few), my affinity for the Big Blue is as strong now as it has ever been. In all my years of exploring the underwater world,…
My first visit to Fiji was in 2007, and as a backpacker I knew it would be a place I had to come back to. So I vowed that I would return to its beautiful beaches and dreamy waters, and this time I would do Fiji the way it should be done; luxurious hotels and incredible diving. So that is…
Before we begin, I have a confession to make: I am not a water baby. Like most complexes I can trace this back to two very specific moments growing up. Firstly, on a trip to the Norfolk coast when my dad nearly cap sized our pedal boat into a murky ocean of doom (my 5-year-old self wasn't to…
We reached Socorro Island having done some truly amazing dives, encountering giant mantas, white tip reef sharks and dolphins along the way. The great diving continued and we had much better visibility at 'The Point', a honeycomb lava tube running from high on the mainland far out to sea.…
In the heavily depleted ocean that covers a mere 71% of our globe there is always a momentous sigh of relief to be felt when you visit somewhere that lives up to its reputation. I recently visited the Revillagigedo Islands with the intention of experiencing some of the magic these islands…
Having never visited the Caribbean, I was excited to be travelling to Dominica. Not fully knowing what to expect I began my journey with an open mind - perhaps somewhat influenced by a general stereotype of Caribbean diving: wrecks, sharks and sandy bottoms…
My diving journey started on my gap year around Thailand, Australia and Fiji where I completed my PADI Open Water and Advanced on Koh Tao. I remember my first experience well, from the brief panic that I was breathing underwater to the realisation that there was a whole new world to…
My most memorable dive - I was 18 at the time; I had just finished my PADI Divemaster apprenticeship and was starting work as a diveguide. I soon found myself developing the confidence and skills needed to lead dives myself.
In December I was lucky enough to head out to the Maldives to review some of the hotels we already feature and to explore some new ones. The Maldives is one of my favourite spots on earth: incredible luxury resorts, stunning scenery and of course, world-class diving. It is everything that…

Miami Dolphins
Defensive Tackle
Salary: $12.4 million
Has started just 20 games in four seasons since being drafted out of Utah. The Dolphins slapped the franchise tag on Soliai after he showed improvement in 2010, guaranteeing him the average of the top five salaries at his position for one season. A long term deal at big money will depend on whether he continues to progress.

I never contribute to this thread because my races are mostly unremarkable (wow, another 12th in a 4/5 field!), but I thought I'd share that I got my first win tonight! 4/5 "B" race at the local weekly crit, smaller field than usual (~35), and they'd asked a few of the faster guys to move up to the A field to change things up in B. Point of the story was that I've had a run of 4 consecutive 5th place finishes and all 4 of the guys ahead of me chose to race the other field (I was asked to, but I had a night class right after so couldn't). Without those 4 guys, I thought I'd have a real shot for once and tried to avoid working too hard to chase early breaks. I told myself I'd try a solo attack with 2 laps to go but I got boxed in at the point I wanted to go, so I waited. Good thing, because the last lap shuffle before the final corner got me into 3rd wheel and gave me a dandy lead out to take the lead going around the outside of the final fast bend and hold it to the line. Great feeling to look to my side with a few feet to go and realize no one was going to come around me for once.
I know it was just a training race and my competition was somewhat weaker than normal, but it was a nice boost before my wedding next weekend and will possibly be my last race of the year. Next year I'll do the A field and get slaughtered by Ben King's dad and little brother. Gonna be eye opening.
Well done
nice dan!!
SJBC training crit, last one of the season.
I lost this time.
Good training though! I went hard a bunch.
My teammates SOC won three in a row in the Bs a little while back. He has now won an A race, something I haven't really done (I won a rain shortened race, I gambled on the race ending shortly after it started and raced accordingly). He's accomplished other things that I've never done also, all in a few years.
Congrats on the win and the wedding.
Great job!
Cat 1 o-meter: 7/35 points
Thanks guys. It was also exactly one year since my first race (at the same venue), I've done about 20 collegiate and USAC races since then but only started getting top 5s in the last month, so I guess I've been doing something right but I think it's really just being smarter about positioning, I felt like I was in better shape when I started racing because I had more time to train. All the advice you guys give here about strategy helped!
Last race of the year last night. Nothing too crazy to report, but I think it was my 50th race of the year counting training races and TT's. Not too shabby for my first season
50 is so many races. I can't comprehend it.
I did 23 race days my first year, 32 race days last year, and 20 race days so far this year. These are days, so not including multiple races a day. I'll probably have another 6 race days by the end of this year. I missed a lot from my injury, I took basically 3 months away from racing.
50 is a solid number.

Does racing the old guy on the commuter on my way to work count as a training race? Haha
I normally do about 45 but the crash cost me a bunch this year, and I am older than just about all of you suckers.
at 66 for the year, with about 10 more to go.
so not quite 80, closer to 75.
Hotter Than Hell Hundred, Wichita Falls TX
Saturday, 62 mile M35+ 4/5 road race: Crashed at the 1k to go sign with a handful of others. I am ok, just a little sore. I think 2 guys got totted off in the ambulance. I was in the main field and probably would have had a top ten finish. I was pissed as this would have been my first RR to finish with the field. HHH is a little flatter and I am a sprinter (not a climber if you know what I am saying ). Rolled in 55th (still beat a few guys).
Sunday M35+ 4/5 Crit: As I said, I am a sprinter....5th!
Our team cleaned house pretty well. We took 3rd and 5th in the RR. 3rd, 5th and 8th in the crit. My two teamates took 2nd and 3rd overall in the omnium. With my 5th place crit finish, I took 10th in the omnium.
Great weekend and looking forward to the RR next year!
Green Mountain Stage Race: Stage 1 TT 5.6 miles
14th of 68
My first time trial. A little disappointed with the result but I am assuming that I can improve from here. I hit my target wattages pretty well but I feel like I could have done a bit more. I was about 45-55 seconds off the leader and apparently if I had gone 5 seconds faster I would have beaten like 9 other guys. Time trial started with a climb that went on for about 2 miles. It was on this climb I passed my 30 second man. Then you take a left and start rolling down a bunch of rollers. It was here that I saw ahead of me both my 1:00 and 1:30 guy. They had been leap frogging eachother for a while as I gained on them. The last 1km is a real kicker though. Basically it is a 14% dip in the road that you then need to climb back out of. It was at this point I rolled up on the two guys and I passed one of them and was about 3-4 seconds off the back of the other guy as we crossed the line. Overall time was 15:11
I was hoping to do alot better but seeing as it was my first TT I will try and cut myself some slack, I certainly felt like I could have cranked out some more power there.

How to make tabs on the web page so that when click is performed on the tab, the tab gets css changed, but on the click page is also reloaded and the css is back to original.
dont use the jquery :D
all of what you needs a container, a contained data in a varable and the tabs
the container is the victim of the css changes. the tabs will trigger the changing process.
if you have a static content, you can write this into a string, and simply load it from thiss. if you have a dinamically generated content, you need to create ajax request to get the fresh content, and then store it in the same string waiting for load.
with the tabs you sould create a general functionusable for content loading.
with static content the triggers:
if you want to change the css, you need another function which do the changes.
i tell you dont use the jquery because you will not know what are you doing.
but thiss whole code can be replaced by jquery like this:
if you know how javascript works then there is noting wrong with the jquery, but i see there is more and more people who just want to do their website very fast and simple, but not knowing what are they doing and running into the same problem again and again.

Jhoulys Chacin threw a complete game in Monday's 5-1 victory over Detroit, the Angels' first complete game since Garrett Richards shutout the Red Sox July 18, 2015.
Chacin took a perfect game into the sixth inning until Andrew Romine got a two-out single. He came close to a shutout, but Victor Martinez brought home J.D. Martinez with a sacrifice fly in the ninth (second video). J.D. Martinez led off the inning with a double.

About National Microfinance BankJordan is a small country located in the heart of the Middle East's Levant region. Regional instability has caused Jordan to be excluded from global investments for decades. Additionally, a lack of natural resources—including water and energy—places tremendous strain on the Jordanian economy, over 80% of which consists of small businesses, largely in the service industry. Despite their importance in the economy, many of these businesses are excluded from the banking sector because of their size. Microfinance institutions like National Microfinance Bank offer them an opportunity to enhance and expand their businesses. NMB also offers its services to other underprivileged peoples in Jordan, providing them with loans to pursue educational goals and improve their homes and livelihoods.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Okay, so I think I have a few problems:
First, where can I get a FireRed rom that actually has the offsets I need to use? I try to find the music table (is that what it's called?) according to a tutorial, but my hex editor can never find the offset... and when I manually go look for it, it's not there.
Also, I changed a few things in the title screen. Opens fine the first time in unLZ-GBA, but the second time I open it, all the things are screwed up, like, the pallete is weird, things aren't where they should be, etc. I've had to redo everything several times due to the roms just FREAKING out. I can never open it a second time and get it to be, well, NORMAL.
Is there any way to fix these two things?

Photo of the Week: Remembering Ed Bullard
February 21, 2014
TechnoServe celebrates the spirit and memory of our founder.
TechnoServe founder Ed Bullard visits a tomato processing plant in El Castaño, El Salvador in 1989. Seven years earlier, TechnoServe had worked with farmers in the area to finance, build and run the factory. When Ed visited again, he found a sustainable rural business that was helping local families improve their livelihoods.
"In the midst of a civil war they created a symbol of peace and progress," Ed said in a speech in 1993. "They built a profitable business. They built it with their own hands. They did it for themselves, for their families, for their future. And we at TechnoServe can say with pride, 'We were their partners.'"
Ed would have celebrated his 79th birthday on Sunday. His spirit of partnership and his belief in the power of private enterprise continue to guide TechnoServe's work every day. Learn more about our history.

We can offer a few second sequel movie puns in an attempt to promote the third annual Stiff @ Tiff party -- Stiff: Hard With a Vengeance? Or The Stiff Knight Rises? How about The Stiff Ultimatum? -- but the game would remain the same: On Tuesday, September 11th at Wrongbar from 10pm to 4am (suck it, archaic Toronto liquor laws... we got a special license) there will once again be an ample opportunity to have a gay ol' time amidst all the Toronto Film Festival-related exhaustion.
Hosted by The Lost Boys (roughly half of us will be in attendance), with DJs Colin D, David Picard and some surprise special guests... Be there, or be flaccid. More info here.
