While Week 15 of the fantasy football season likely will be remembered for Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles producing the top individual performance of the season -- and one of the greatest ever! -- and Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker ending the high-scoring week with a game-winning 61-yard field goal that affected an estimated 11,000 results in ESPN standard leagues, the truth is that several fantasy MVP candidates didn't exactly make their owners proud and myriad fantasy seasons likely ended for this reason.

Beach goers stunned to see an ELEPHANT frolicking in the Florida sea after woman hired it for $4,500 to fulfill childhood fantasy
- Beachgoers on Saturday were stunned to see an Indian elephant wading in the waters of Redington Beach on Florida's Gulf Coast
- Accountant Todd Unbehagen took a selfie picture of the elephant which spread across the Internet
- It was revealed the elephant is named Judy, is 58-years-old and was hired for a local realtor's 60th birthday party
- The cost to Claudia McCorkle to hire Judy for four hours was $4,500
A leisurely stroll along a Florida beach threw up an elephant-sized opportunity for Todd Unbehagen to take a glorious and very unusual selfie.
Capturing the huge creature wading knee-deep off the shores of Gulf Coast Redington Beach on Saturday, Unbehagen joined dozens of other perplexed onlookers in wondering just how an elephant had managed to end up there.
The amusing picture spread across social media and the lady responsible for the gentle giant's appearance over the weekend has come forward to explain why she rented Judy the elephant and how, amazingly, it was completely legal.
Scroll Down for Video
Not an every day sight: Judy the elephant is seen in the background of Redington Beach, Florida in this picture taken by Todd Unbehagen on Saturday
Claudia McCorkle was five-years-old when she turned down the chance to ride an elephant 55-years ago in Fort Lauderdale.
She never got over that regret and decided in February that when she celebrated her 60th birthday party on Saturday that she would pay $4,500 to enjoy four hours in the company of Judy the elephant.
'Elephants are so symbolic,' said Claudia McCorkle to Tampa Bay News.
'Symbolic of karma and such wonderful qualities as loyalty and love, memory and longevity.'
Happy birthday to me: Claudia McCorkle hired Judy for her 60th birthday after missing out on an elephant ride when she was five-years-old which she never forgave herself for
Look at me! A party goer at Claudia McCorkle's 60th rides Judy and seems to thoroughly enjoy the experience
Deciding to stun her guests with Judy, Claudia contacted Orlando based party specialists, Xtreme Entertainment to rent the 58-year-old elephant.
Indeed, despite common sense dictating that some laws may have been broken in carting an elephant to a quiet Gulf Coast beach on a weekend, it turns out that the city commission was well aware and had approved.
Back in February, McCorkle registered her special request to have Judy and the city commission even allowed her an empty lot to move the elephant from Gulf Boulevard to North Redington.
Obviously, for the successful realtor, it helps if you know the town mayor, especially if he is to be a guest at the party.
RSVP: Claudia's 'Big' bash party invitation's gave guests some indication that Judy might be the star guest
Elephant jokes: Well-wishers leave humorous messages for Claudia after their time with Judy the elephant on Saturday
'Mayor Nick Simons referred to the letter from Claudia McCorkle and her request to be able to have an elephant on her beach property for a birthday party,' city meeting minutes from February read.
'Motion passed with all ayes.'
Judy, who weighs, 6,200 pounds, also gave rides to some of the 40 guests as a pianist played the Elephant Walk inside McCorkle's beachfront home.
Judy elephant waded in around sunset, and her presence stunned other beach-goers.
Mr. Unbehagen was with his family when he shot the video and selfie.
'We were walking down the beach, and someone had a private party at their beach house with an elephant. It was at North Redington Beach, Florida. So, we stopped for a while to take pictures. You don't see this every day!!!"which he later posted to Facebook.'
Born in Thailand, Judy's trainer Bones Craig said that she loves the ocean.
'There's days that she seems to like it and days that she doesn't,' said Bones, who has owned Judy since 1977.

China Telecom hacks CDMA iPhone, deal with Apple near?
A new report indicates that a group of China Telecom employees have hacked the CDMA version of the iPhone 4 to allow for use on its network, while an analyst suggests the company is nearing a deal with Apple to carry the handset. The Wall Street Journal, citing a Sina Weibo post, reports that employees of China Telecom's Guangdong branch have said the "CDMA iPhone 4 has made its first call in China" without issue. According to a China Telecom official, the test call was done by individuals within the company and does not represent an official action. Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White, meanwhile, has suggested Apple is close to reaching a deal with China Telecom to carry the iPhone. Citing material posted to NetEase's website that a branch of the carrier was accepting pre-orders for the CDMA iPhone 4, White said, "The key takeaway is that the relationship between Apple and China Telecom is clearly moving in the right direction, and we believe that a deal will eventually be announced this year."

what a stupid idea. The act that they use the term knowingly, will stop poeple from taking tests. What happens if they have been given the all clear and the doctors have got it wrong. Its the best way of promoting annomous sex. No real names given so cant be traced. Cruising grounds will get busy. Also whats the difference between passing on a sexually transmitted disease and say flu or the common cold. Flu has and can kill. I take the reponsiblity for practicing my own safe sex. If I choose to waver from this then I must take the consequences.

During the great California gold rush, early prospectors sifted through rocks and streams in the hopes of finding a fortune. But bigger hauls were often claimed by going below the surface and digging deeply into mines, where a treasure trove of gold lay waiting to be unearthed. The gold rush may be ancient history, but there's still potential treasure to be tapped--and crises that can be prevented too-by companies that are willing to delve deep into their dark data.

Hasbro, Inc. and Discovery Communications announced an agreement to form a 50/50 joint venture, including a television network and website, dedicated to high-quality children's and family entertainment and educational programming. As part of the transaction, the joint venture also will receive a minority interest in the U.S. version of Hasbro.com. Both the network and the venture's online component will feature content from Hasbro's portfolio of entertainment and educational properties including original programming for animation, game shows, and live-action series and specials. At the closing of the transaction, Hasbro will purchase a 50% stake in the venture, which will hold the assets related to Discovery Kids Network in the U.S., for which Discovery Communications will receive $300 million. The joint venture's rebranded network is expected to debut in late 2010. The network will continue to operate as Discovery Kids until the debut of the to-be-named channel and new programming slate. Discovery Communications will retain the Discovery Kids brand for, among other things, its international networks and its licensing and merchandising business.

LAPD cop killed in hit-and-run, 2nd officer injured
A Los Angeles officer has died and another one is in serious condition after a hit-and-run Saturday
Duty Death: Roberto Sanchez - [Los Angeles , California]
End of Service: 05/03/2014
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles police officer was killed early Saturday in a hit-and-run crash, the third in-line of duty death in recent months.
Roberto Sanchez, a six-year veteran, died at a hospital after the patrol car he was driving was broadsided by an SUV in the Harbor City area. The squad car was so mangled that Sanchez's partner had to call for help on his personal cellphone because the police radio wasn't working.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said Sanchez was on patrol with his best friend when the collision occurred.
The surviving officer, whose name was not released, was hospitalized with a broken jaw and other injuries.
Sanchez was the third LAPD officer to die on the job recently. In March, 40-year-old Officer Nicholas Choung Lee was killed when his patrol car was hit by a dump truck in Beverly Hills. Last month, 51-year-old motorcycle officer Chris Cortijo was struck and killed by a driver alleged to have been under the influence of cocaine.
Mayor Eric Garcetti ordered city flags lowered to half-staff.
"This third loss of an officer in the line of duty in just two months is a stark and tragic reminder of the dangers our first responders face every day," Garcetti said in a statement.
The Los Angeles police union called Sanchez a hero.
"Today the world has lost a true hero. Roberto will be greatly missed as a protector of our society and even more as a person," Los Angeles Police Protective League President Tyler Izen said in a statement.
Investigators were piecing together the accident. Preliminary information from the crash site suggested the officers were following another car when both vehicles made a U-turn. The SUV then slammed into the patrol car, police said.
The SUV driver fled the scene, and police later detained a person of interest. No other details were available.

Britney Spears quits The X Factor USA ... after learning Simon Cowell was about to sack her
- Singer's contract worth $15million and she lasted just one season
- Judging style was heavily criticised and she was dubbed 'boring'
- Insiders say she didn't 'connect with her acts and could barely look at them onstage'
Britney Spears has left The X Factor USA after just one season - after discovering show boss Simon Cowell was about to fire her for being 'boring'.
The 31-year-old singer jumped before she was pushed as Cowell, 53, made plans to terminate her $15million contract after her judging style on the show had been heavily criticised, sources close to the show confirmed to MailOnline.
Scroll down for video
'Disconnected': Insiders complained Britney would barely look at her contestants on stage during the live round of the show
A source close to production explained: 'Britney and her team knew it was unlikely she'd be asked back as a judge.
'The producers have already been making other plans for next season over the holidays.
'The reality is that toward the end of last season the main players knew they wanted to replace both Britney and LA Reid. LA Reid wasn't at the top of his game in second season and he knew that.'
Britney's judging was heavily criticised throughout the last season, with critics dubbing her 'boring'.
'It was a very difficult decision': Britney also confirmed she quit The X Factor on Friday, and is rumoured to be planning Vegas show
And show insiders complained that she insisted on having breaks every few contestants during auditions and was often unengaged in the whole process.
Troubled: Britney heads out in Los Angeles on Friday; sadly the fascination with the star did not translate into viewing figures
It was felt Britney didn't connect
with her contestants, despite being employed to mentor them. Insiders complained that she would barely look at
them on stage during the live round of the show.
'Most people didn't expect Britney to make it through the season as its a demanding role but she did her best,' said a source.
Although the mother-of-two only lasted on the judges panel for one season it was an incredibly lucrative one.
A previous report in Us Weekly pointed out that her $15milllion contract had a lot to do with Cowell's decision, with one insider telling the publication: 'They paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps.'
At one time Cowell
had intimated to E! that he'd have Britney back despite telling them
he's 'pro change,' he told them: 'I don't know yet, to be honest with
you. I haven't had the conversation with her whether she'd want to, what
other commitments she's got.'
Fellow judge L.A. Reid - a long-standing judge - already announced his departure to focus on his record label.
Midas-alike Cowell has struggled to repeat the success of the smash hit British show since it debuted across the Atlantic in the autumn of 2011.
After the initial disappointing season, Cowell fired judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones in January.
Uncomfortable fit: Mid-way through this last series, Britney was moved from beside Simon so Demi Lovato could sit next to the X Factor mogul
Barrier: Lovato (next to Cowell here) brushed off her move, claiming it was nothing to do with Spears and more to do with her annoying her and L.A. (far left) by shouting over them to Simon
He then went all out to get a big name signing; and nobody could argue with Britney's pedigree when she signed on the dotted line for the svengali.
Not only is she one of the biggest
pop stars in the world; but her soap opera past lends the blonde an
inherent fascination lacking in other stars.
But sadly that never translated into her on-screen presence, and Cowell's coup became a damp squib.
The blonde flubbed lines and often seemed disconnected from the the show's narrative.
The December 20 second season finale was watched by 9.6 million viewers, down 18 percent from the first season finale.
Teens: Britney worked with an appropriate group and even got close to winning with Carly Rose Sonenclar (far right) but her connection with (L-R) Diamond White, Arin Ray and Beatrice Miller was questioned
Despite the setbacks, Cowell himself is unlikely to be looking for another job anytime soon.
Artists discovered by the X Factor have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, including 110 No. 1's, 270 Top 10, and 501 Top 50 releases - and the show has been commissioned in 41 territories.
Cowell - who according to Forbes made
$90 million last year alone - also saw his TV production business,
Simco, boosted by 138 per cent last year, mainly due to the launch of
the Fox TV talent show.
Cowell's company also reported that total turnover almost doubled to £54.6m ($87.89m) in the year to 31 March 2012.

This is what happens when your car breaks down on a Sunday morning and you have nothing else to do…
2008 Directed by Steve McQueen
The story of Bobby Sands, the IRA member who led the 1981 hunger strike in which Republican prisoners tried to win political status. It dramatises events in the Maze prison in the six weeks prior to Sands' death.
Popular reviewsMore
Usually I need an emotional connection to be drawn into a film with as harrowing a subject as Hunger has. Once again McQueen proves that with his detached, clinical but unflinching style he still manages to achieve just that despite the distance between the audience and the film.
From the get go it is clear that McQueen will pull no punches. The prison and its inhabitants are gritty and rough. The violence is brutal and yet McQueen manages to inject humanity into both prisoners and guards. He doesn't seem to want to make a statement, he seems to be more interested in documenting a very troubled era in a nation's history.
At the centre of this is Bobby Sands (a…
Steve McQueen's feature film debut is a brutally intense, downright disturbing & extremely upsetting cinema covering the infamous Irish hunger strike of 1981. And while it makes up for a very difficult sitting due to its graphic depiction of the brutality that was inflicted on the prisoners, it also marks a terrific start to the directional career of one of modern cinema's boldest new filmmakers.
Set in Northern Ireland around the early 1980s, Hunger explores the life in Maze Prison where Republican inmates are protesting to regain their political status which was revoked by the British government a few years ago. After depicting much of the gruesome torture, the plot finally focuses on the events leading to the 1981 IRA hunger…
This is one of the very best films I've seen in a good while. It was Steve McQueen's debut? Fuck, I can't believe it. It's a beautiful, thought-provoking, haunting and brutal film. And I mean BRUTAL.
If, for some reason you are not yet convinced that Fassbender is one of the best actors working right now, watch this film and you will be among the doubting no more. He delivers a performance that should and will be remembered forever. Looks like he almost lost as much weight as Bale did for The Machinist. Ah, maybe not quite, but it's scary as hell.
There is a conversation that takes place around the middle of the film and goes on for almost half an hour. And it's gripping. It's nearly uncut, too. I think there is a shot that lasts about 16 minutes uncut. Amazing. Just do yourself a favour and watch this film.
PTAbro's World Tour Stop 1: Ireland
Finally, a prison movie that's not afraid to show the lighter side of incarceration.
Part of My Top 10 Films of 2008
Steve McQueen's debut film is one of the forgotten little gems of the past decade. It's a hard movie to watch. Like Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange it's a movie that puts a mirror in front of us and shows all the wrongs and brutalities of our race. Violence will bring more violence and one day humans will reach a point that they won't be able to solve their problems without using some violence against each other. Bobby Sands is representative of all men and women in the history who have sacrificed themselves for freedom and peace, and those are the states that will never be achieved easily. Their price must be…
"I have my belief, and in all its simplicity that is the most powerful thing."
Steve McQueen's feature debut, Hunger, is a realistic and brutal portrayal of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) activists who are protesting their miserable treatment at the Belfast prison known as The Maze. Hunger is a challenging film to watch due to the brutal and unflinching portrayal of such a dark period in our recent history. If you have a weak stomach then you might want to stay away from this film because it is really gruesome. The way McQueen's camera captures the events and allows the images to tell the story is truly remarkable. We get extreme close ups of characters faces and hands that…
Recent reviewsMore
After I watched this, I smoked a cigarette and ate a snack.
Extremely depressing but a near perfect film!
Steve McQueen probably makes the most consistently bleak films of any filmmaker I can think of. And yet they are all completely fascinating for I think two reasons. One is that while he does delve on the suffering of his characters in a massive amount it never feels gratuitous or touristy. There's just a hard-to-describe feeling of honesty and good intention about his films. The second reason is much simpler - he just knows how to strip away absolutely all of the fluff and give you the story and nothing else, and yet you could never call the films plain or dull. That's actually a lot harder than it sounds. And Hunger is like that: simple, brutal, honest, certainly hard to watch at times and expertly put together.
After watching this, I can't believe that Michael Fassbender didn't get at least an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
Kudos for the make up department for making the wounds so real and making me feel things (generally I don't feel anything while watching a movie).
Still doesn't top Shame for me, but it was very very close.
I repeat....where is Michael Fassbender's Oscar?
RIP Bobby Sands. If anyone can find the screenplay, read that 17 min scene played expertly by Fassbender and Cunningham. Flawless writing and acting. Solid debut from McQueen.
Poderosos silencios y poderosas palabras cuando este se rompe. McQueen deja en Hunger que las imágenes sean las que cuenten la historia y lo hace fenomenal. Fassbender está fantástico como Sands, por cierto.
It's refusal to talk, and then its refusal to stop talking, then its refusal again to talk steals away from the story of Sands refusal to eat and ends in a frustrating attempt at an ambitiously minimalist telling of a tragic story. Fassbender is as usual tremendous, but that is the only bright spot of hunger, even if McQueen would go on to make a worthy Oscar winner.

Sherm Barger discusses the future of the Patoka Post Office.
Patoka Post Office to Not Close, But Possible Hour Reductions
Barger says their goal is to not have an earlier cutoff to mail items. The biggest impact is probably going to be on P.O. box holders as far as the time of mail that will be available. If the postmaster hours are scooted back by a couple hours, obviously that's going to impact the time the box mail is going to be put up, but your carriers would still deliver to your house just like they always have", said Barger.
Barger says there are still questions on where the rural carriers will pick up their mail. They could be moved out of post offices with limited hours. Barger says unless Congress changes legislation, Saturday mail and post office hours will not change.
He notes stamp machines will not return to the post offices because of maintenance problems, but the post office is working on partnering with other businesses to increase hours. "We can put village post offices into certain business settings. So if someone in town is interested in wanting to be able to sell some of our products and cover up where we may not be open, you may be able to open extended hours and may be able to offer that to your community and maybe get people in the door because you offer that new service. That is an option that just came about", said Barger.
Barger says the plan is to reduce the hours of the Patoka Post Office from eight to six hours a day. Other area post offices also on the list for reduction to six hour days are Dix, Farina, Hoffman, Iuka, Kinmundy, Odin, Sandoval, Woodlawn and Xenia. Those scheduled to be reduced to four hour days are Alma, Bluford, Hoyleton, Irvington, Johnsonville, Keenes, Kell, Richview, St. Peter, Shobonier, Texico, Vernon, and Waltonville. The Huey Post Office would go from the current six hours a day to two hours. Barger says changes at post offices currently without a post master will begin shortly after the first of the year, with other cutbacks to offices with permanent post masters to be phased in over the next few years.
A number of other hearings are scheduled at post offices throughout the region. Barger will be at the Sandoval Post Office at 1:30 and the Walnut Hill Post Office at 3:30 Friday afternoon. Meetings are set for October 23rd at one pm at the Irvington Post Office and 3:30 at the Texico Post Office. A meeting is set at the Alma Post Office at one on November 7th. The Hoyleton Post Office meeting will be at one pm on November 14th and at the Iuka Post Office at one pm on November 16th.

Personal Responsibility Program
The Personal Responsibility Program is offered by the Berks County Juvenile Probation Office and is designed around two main concepts:
behavior is the result of choice
each person is responsible for their actions.
The program focuses on those areas (e.g. good decision making) in which skills and a high level of awareness generally lead to responsible behavior and in which deficits and a lack of awareness can result in irresponsible or criminal behavior.
A juvenile probation officer acts as a facilitator and each session of the program lasts one hour and fifteen minutes. The program is offered on the same evening for four consecutive weeks and the juvenile's parents and other interested persons are welcomed and encouraged to attend.
Some topics include: accepting responsibility, anger management, concept of choice in human behavior, and decision making.

A beautiful tribute to book, television, and movie critic John Leonard in Salon has this lovely quote from him about the books he loved:
My whole life I have been waving the names of writers. From these writers, for almost 50 years, I have received narrative, witness, companionship, sanctuary, shock, and steely strangeness; good advice, bad news, deep chords, hurtful discrepancy, and amazing grace…The books we love, love us back. In gratitude, we should promise not to cheat on them — not to pretend we're better than they are; not to use them as target practice, agitprop, trampolines, photo ops or stalking horses; not to sell out scruple to that scratch-and-sniff infotainment racket in which we posture in front of experience instead of engaging it, and fidget in our cynical opportunism for an angle, a spin, or a take, instead of consulting compass points of principle, and strike attitudes like matches, to admire our wiseguy profiles in the mirrors of the slicks. We are reading for our lives, not performing like seals for some fresh fish.
It takes some brains to make a good dumb comedy. Paul Rudd, who has been the best thing in too many films that ranged from dumb, to awful, to wildly uneven, has co-created a film that manages to insult the intelligence of its characters without insulting the intelligence of its audience too badly.
I could have done with less emphasis on the inherent hilarity of hearing an angry little kid use bad language and make sexually precocious comments. And some of the double entendres were so nudge-nudge obvious they were closer to single and a fraction. But some good lines and sharply observed characters make it above average for its genre.
Rudd and Seann William Scott play Danny and Wheeler, who work for a company that sells a soft drink called Minotaur by visiting schools for a phony "don't do drugs" talk that is really just a way to push their soda. Wheeler wears a Minotaur suit and Danny half-heartedly tells the kids to drink Minotaur instead of doing drugs and then they drive off in their Minotaur-obile. This is all just fine with Wheeler, a walking id who just wants to get high and have sex. But Danny once wanted more from life and when his increasing bitterness causes his lawyer girlfriend to leave him, seeing the Minotaur-obile towed away is just one indignity too many. He objects, leading to arrests, leading to community service at Sturdy Wings, a Big Brother-style place run by a former drug addict (Jane Lynch). Each is assigned a "Little." Wheeler gets a precocious kid (Bobb'e J. Thompson) who swears all the time and accuses everyone of racism and child abuse. He is also way too fascinated with feminine anatomy, a trait they manage to bond over. And Danny gets Augie ("Superbad" McLovin's Christopher Mintz-Plasse), a cape-wearing nerd whose life revolves around a Medieval-ish role-playing game
Director David Wain manages the tricky balance between having some fun with the conventions of the genre without getting mean about it. Yes, everyone learns a few lessons about self-respect and relationships (and sword-fighting) but when they do it in medieval role-playing gear inspired by a rock band, it's a lot of fun to watch. Note, however, that a child actor's bad language and sexual obsessions are more disturbing than funny and raise serious questions about whether the laws protecting child performers are adequate and adequately enforced.
Defamer revisits the first 40 years of MPAA ratings. In the first days of film there were no ratings or limits. After outcries over the spicy content of some of the early talkies, Hollywood adopted the Hays Code in 1930. The studios agreed to its voluntary but highly restrictive terms not just about sex and language (the only proviso for violence was that it had to be in good taste). But it prohibited portrayals of clergy that made them appear corrupt or foolish and depictions of inter-racial relationships. There are legendary stories of battles over whether Rhett Butler would be allowed to say "I don't give a damn" in "Gone With the Wind" (he was) or whether Bette Davis could get away with murder in "The Letter" (she wasn't). And writer-directors like Ernst Lubitsch and Preston Sturges prided themselves on getting past the censors with subtle double entendres.
In November of 1968, MPAA head Jack Valenti created the ratings code at a time of cultural upheaval. The studios wanted to be able to tell stories about and for adults. At first, the ratings were G, PG, R, and X. But when X was appropriated by the porn industry, the MPAA switched to NC-17 (no children under the age of 17). And the PG-13 rating was added after objections to some of the grisly images in the second Indiana Jones film, like the eyeball soup.
Defamer lists some of the ratings system's worst and most absurd moments, including the R rating for the original "Thomas Crown Affair" based only on a sensual (and fully clothed,ending only with a kiss) chess game and the PG rating for "Facing the Giants" for evangelical themes.
The documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated documented the failures of the rating system but mostly focused on its secrecy and favoritism in applying the ratings to studio films over independents. Under Valenti's successor, Dan Glickman, there have been some small improvements.
For me, the most frustrating aspects of the rating system have been the inconsistency of the treatment of material based on whether it is in a comedy or a drama (permitting PG-13 ratings for the extremely raunchy "Austin Powers" films when the same material in a drama would get an "R"), the outright stupidity in the treatment of the f-word (permitted once or twice in a PG-13 as long as it does not refer to sex, a rule you'd need a PhD in semiotics to understand and interpret), and the continual ratcheting-down of the ratings so that what would have received a PG-13 a few years ago now gets a PG. Here's hoping for many more improvements before its next anniversary.
I was very sorry to hear about the loss of author/director Michael Crichton. He was a man of astonishing range and accomplishment. He wrote best-selling novels, including Jurassic Park and the The Andromeda Strain. A graduate of Harvard Medical School, he created the television show ER. He became an accomplished director. One of my favorite of his films was the period heist story The Great Train Robbery. I am also a fan of his non-fiction book Travels, in part because his tireless curiosity and imagination were so engaging. His 1993 essay on the future of media was recently recognized in Slate as stunningly prescient. He was master of entertainment and a fresh and provocative thinker and will be much missed.

We are a couple planning on traveling to Vietnam in October. We have several questions and would greatly appreciate any information. I will list several questions in no particular order, however they are all equally important thank you in advance! We are definitely on a tight budget so please keep that in mind!
1. What is the best airline to fly from Los Angeles to Vietnam?
2. What does the visa process entail? we are planning on being in Vietnam for about two weeks.
3. We would like to see as much of Vietnam as possible without spreading ourselves too thin, thinking about a few days in the south, a few days in the central region, and a few days in the north. Perhaps flying into Ho Chi Min and departing from Hanoi back to Los Angeles. Does this make sense? perhaps going north to south would be better?
4. We don't want to spend much time in the cities, a good balance of countryside and costal is ideal. what is the best way to make this happen?
We will have more questions, but I'll leave it at four for now... thank you!

Easiest way to get a visa: Use Travisa, they do everything for you.
I'm going to Vietnam in Oct as well and am on Korean Air. They fly out of Hanoi and HCMC.

Hi trip2014
To answer some of your questions as best I can:
1. No idea as I generally fly from London but I am sure others will jump in with suggestions.
2. You can either apply for a visa from a Vietnamese Embassy in the US or get a pre- approval letter which will enable you to pick up a Visa on arrival at HCMC, Hanoi or Danang airports. Many commercial organisations will do this for you online for a fee. This one was recommended to me http://www.myvietnamvisa.com ( I would stress that I haven't tried them yet). The visa itself costs $45 payable in cash.
3. flying in to the north and out of the South will make a lot of sense if you are intent on covering the whole country. On issue you do need to think about is the weather. Vietnam has complex weather patterns and October will be good for some places but not others. In particular, the central coastal region can experience a lot of typhoon activity at that time of year. Here is a link which explains the weather system in some detail
I don't really think it make much difference whether you go from north to South or vice versa.
4. If you don't want to spend too much time in ten cities then I would avoid HCMC. Although it is worth a days sightseeing if you are flying in or out of there.
Hanoi is definitely worth a few days as there is a lot to see and it is a great starting point for the more rural parts of Vietnam. I like the Mai Chau valley, only a few hours from Hanoi but a totally dirrent experience - misty valleys, mountains and tiny villages. Further north, Sapa can be reached by overnight train. Spectacular scenery, some great trekking and lots of local colour at the markets and minority peoples villages. Ba Be lakes is much further north. beautiful, but probably takes too long to get there in the time you have.
Not a great beach fan except for diving but I would avoid Nha Trang as it is way too busy these days. Phu Quoc in the South is supposed to be very nice. Haven't been yet but are planning on going on our next trip early next year.
Best way to make this happen? Star off by looking at a few pre packaged tours such as those offered by Audlley travel And Intrepid Travel and adapting those. It is easy and cheaper to build your own tour by booking hotels and travel online.
Report Abuse
Good advice above.
We visited the northern parts in October a few years ago. Sapa and surrounds were well worth the effort to get to, a little chilly early morning, but spectacular scenery and interesting tribal culture.
Your hotel in Hanoi will likely have a tour desk that can make arrangements for day or overnight trips. If you wait until you are there to organise same, you will have a better idea of the weather and can adjust accordingly.
Happy planning.
