Summer 2016 Program in Beijing Sunday, May 22, 2016 – Saturday, June 4, 2016 Take your Legal Studies Abroad The Summer Program at the University of International Business and Economics Law School (UIBE) is jointly sponsored by Brooklyn Law School and Loyola Law School of Los Angeles. UIBE's concentration on a business and commercial law curriculum provides an ideal setting for the program's international and comparative law focus. The two-week program will run from May 22 - June 4, 2016 and will offer the following courses: World Legal Systems (2 credits) Introduction to International Bankruptcy (1 credit) International and Comparative Law Program Students will have the opportunity to study at one of the most respected law schools in China, the University of International Business and Economics Law School (UIBE). Courses are taught by faculty from Loyola Law School and Brooklyn Law School, with lectures by prominent Chinese legal scholars and lawyers. Location Students will study and live in Beijing, one of the world's oldest cities and the capital of the People's Republic of China, the world's fastest growing economy. Beijing is the home of major government offices, including the Supreme People's Court of China. Many of China's largest state-owned and privately-held companies, as well as international corporations and law firms, have their headquarters in the city. Beijing is the epicenter of Chinese politics, economics, culture, and education. It is a bustling city with a thriving population of approximately 20 million people. The setting provides an excellent backdrop for the study of international and comparative business law. It also provides an opportunity for students to witness a legal system and a society that are in the process of re-creating themselves. Guest lectures by distinguished Chinese scholars and practitioners and visits to Chinese legal institutions enrich the China Program experience. Students will have the opportunity to explore China's ancient history—the Forbidden City, Great Wall, and other important attractions that exist alongside modern developments such as the iconic Olympic Stadium and the spectacular National Centre for the Performing Arts. Students may choose to spend the weekend between classes visiting other cities, such as Xian or Shanghai. To find out more about Beijing, view: "Beijing City Guide" Program Admission Details & Costs Curriculum Faculty & Staff Admissions Process Eligibility and Acceptance Students who are in good standing and who have completed one year of full-time or part-time law study at a U.S. law school at the start of the program are eligible to apply for admission to the program for academic credit. Law students at universities outside of the United States who have completed a year of study and practicing attorneys are also eligible to apply to attend the program. Students from non-U.S. law schools and practicing attorneys will receive a letter from the office of the registrar for completed course work, but they will not normally receive academic credit from the program. CLE credit may be available. We are looking for a diverse group of interesting students who will bring various talents and backgrounds to the summer program, and who will particularly benefit from what it has to offer. Brooklyn and Loyola adhere to and support all legal requirements for non-discrimination and equal opportunity in all of their programs. You are advised to apply as early as possible, though no later than Friday, February 26, 2016 in order to secure a place in the program. We will consider applications received after February 26, 2016 so long as space remains. Last year, 11 students participated in the program, including one from a school other than Brooklyn and Loyola. Typically 40-50 students enroll in the program. Enrollment in the program is not limited to students from the United States. Occasionally a very small number of students from other countries, including China and Italy, have participated in the program. The vast majority of students who enroll, however, are from the United States, and the number or citizenship of foreign students that might enroll is impossible to predict. Good Standing Letters Students from Brooklyn and Loyola, by signing and submitting their applications, authorize their Registrars to verify their good standing. Students from other schools must submit letters of good standing. You are required to check with your school to determine your eligibility to attend the program. Letters of good standing are due by Friday, February 26, 2016. For additional information see Important Dates and Application Checklist. Tuition & Financial Aid Tuition and Fees Tuition for the program is $850 per credit and a $350 program fee to cover course materials, tours and social events. You may enroll for a maximum of three credits. Your $400 deposit, which must accompany the application, will be credited against the tuition. In early March, accepted students will receive a bill for the balance of tuition and the program fee. Your full tuition payment is due on Friday, March 18, 2016 and all deposits are non-refundable on that day. Read more about the Estimated Cost of Attendance. See Important Dates and Application Checklist for information on tuition due dates, withdrawals and refunds. Financial Aid Payment of tuition in FULL is required by March 18, 2016. Even if you are applying for financial aid at your school, you must include a $400 tuition deposit with your application. Students who wish to apply for financial aid must first apply to the study-abroad program and should submit financial aid applications as early as possible. Summer is considered a separate term for financial aid awarding purposes. Financial aid for the summer term is not automatically awarded based on prior eligibility or acceptance to the program. Brooklyn Law School Students Brooklyn Law School students should contact Florence Attino in the Office of Financial Aid at (718) 780-7915 or firstname.lastname@example.com. More information on summer loans for study abroad is available on our Applying for Aid page. Loyola Law School Students Loyola Law School students who wish to borrow loans must complete a Summer Study Abroad application and contact the Office of Financial Aid at (213) 736-1140 or email@example.com. Other Schools Students who are not enrolled at Brooklyn Law School or Loyola Law School should comply with the section on consortium agreements below. Federal & Private Loans Financial Aid in the form of Federal Graduate Plus Loans (GPLUS) may be available for students enrolled in a total of 6 credits or more for summer programs. Thus, students who are enrolled in summer courses or internships for credit in addition to the study abroad program may be eligible for GPLUS Loans. Private Alternative Educational loans may be available for students enrolled in 3-5 credits. Students may borrow loan funds up to the cost of attendance (COA). The COA is determined by the Office of Financial Aid and includes tuition and fees, as well as an allowance for room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. Under no circumstance can financial aid exceed the cost of attendance. Federal regulations do not allow federal loan funds to be disbursed earlier than 10 days prior to the start of the program. Students borrowing Private Alternative Educational Loans should check with their lender as to the earliest disbursement date for their loans. Tuition costs may be deferred pending receipt of summer aid. However, students must be prepared to pay for some expenses (such as airfare) out-of-pocket before their loan funds are disbursed. Consortium Agreements Students who are not from Brooklyn Law School or Loyola Law School must obtain financial aid for program costs through their home institutions. Students should contact the Office of Financial Aid at their home institution to begin the consortium agreement process. There are several requirements that must be met before financial aid can be awarded and disbursed via a consortium agreement. Students should begin this process immediately after applying to the program. Consortium agreement forms must be mailed, faxed, or emailed to: Brooklyn Law School 250 Joralemon Street Brooklyn NY 11201 Attn: Florence Attino Email: email@example.com Facsimile: (718) 228-6796 Call Send SMS Add to Skype You'll need Skype CreditFree via Skype Housing Housing Costs Housing for the China Summer Program will be provided by either the Cherry Blossom Yinghua Hotel or the Huiqiao Hotel which are conveniently located across the street from UIBE. These hotels will serve as the main housing for students during the program. We reserve a block of rooms based on expected enrollment. Brooklyn Law School will bill you in advance for your hotel room, based on the number of nights you plan to stay. You may pay Brooklyn Law School for your hotel room by check or credit card. Should you decide to stay additional nights, the school will bill you accordingly. At current exchange rates, the cost of a single room is approximately $62.00 per day. The cost of a double room is approximately $32.00 per day, per person. The price of the room includes breakfast. Triple occupancy rooms may be available. We strongly encourage students to stay at these hotels, because they are across the street from campus and are an inexpensive housing option. Alternate Housing Program housing is recommended, but not required. Students may opt out of program housing and make their own housing arrangements. In these cases, students will be required to submit their housing information (including address and telephone number) in writing, via email, email@example.com. Travel & Additional Costs Travel & Additional Costs Travel Students will arrange and pay for their own round trip travel between the U.S. and Beijing. Several airlines fly from various U.S. cities directly to Beijing and some make connections in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, Vancouver and other cities. Bear in mind when planning your trip that China Standard Time is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time and 15 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time. Please read departure and arrival times and dates carefully when booking flights. You can check the travel sections of local newspapers or travel websites for discount airfares. STA Travel is a travel agency that specializes in student travel. It may offer a lower fare for the summer. Meals Students are responsible for their meals (the hotel includes breakfast). There are many restaurants near the campus as well as a cafeteria and snack bar on the campus itself. Beijing has a vast number of excellent, reasonably priced restaurants where students can dine for $15 to $20 per day. Internet & Cell Phones Internet service is available at no additional charge at the program hotels. There are also internet cafes in the neighborhood surrounding the campus. Students will also have access to a computer lab on the UIBE campus. Students with a cell phone using a GSM network can purchase a Chinese SIM card (although calls to the US are expensive). The cheapest way to stay in touch with home is to use email or a service like Skype. You may also wish to check with your U.S. carrier about its coverage in China and its international voice and data roaming services to see whether subscribing to them during your time in China is cost effective. Miscellaneous Students should plan to bring a reasonable amount of money to cover personal expenses such as meals, souvenirs, local transportation, etc., and to provide a safety cushion for the unexpected. ATMs are available in the area surrounding the UIBE campus, and throughout the city. Changes, Cancellations & Refunds Program Changes Brooklyn Law School and Loyola Law School reserve the right to make changes to the program. Should any significant changes to the program occur; students will be advised of the changes and given the option to withdraw with a full refund. Cancellation or Termination Brooklyn Law School and Loyola Law Schools reserve the right to cancel or modify the program should circumstances, such as the need to protect the health of students and staff, or to ensure the integrity of the program, or insufficient registrations warrant it. In the event that the program is canceled or terminated, students will be notified by email and, upon request, the program director will endeavor to assist students in finding a similar program. In the period since it was established in 1999, the program has been canceled in 2003, based on recommendations made by the World Health Organization due to the SARS outbreak in China and in 2014 because of insufficient enrollment. In 2008, the program was not offered due to concerns regarding housing availability, transportation issues and overall costs created by the Summer Olympics in Beijing. In the event that the program is canceled or terminated, the following refund policy will apply: If the program is canceled prior to the commencement of the program, students will be notified immediately and issued a full refund. The program director will assist the students in identifying another suitable program, if the students so desire. If the program is terminated during the course of the program, students will be notified immediately, given the opportunity to withdraw from the program, and refunded all tuition/fee charges except room and board charges utilized prior to withdrawal. Under no circumstances are Brooklyn Law School and Loyola Law School responsible for financial losses caused by travel arrangements due to the cancellation or termination of the program. Travel Warnings and Alerts In the unlikely event that the U.S. State Department issues a Travel Warning or Alert covering the destination and dates of the program, the following refund policy will apply: If the warning or alert is issued prior to the commencement of the program, students will be notified immediately and given the opportunity to withdraw from the program with a full refund. If the warning or alert is issued during the course of the program, students will be notified immediately, given the opportunity to withdraw from the program, and refunded all tuition/fee charges except room and board charges utilized prior to the withdrawal. Disabilities & Accessbility Students with Disabilities Brooklyn and Loyola Law Schools comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended. The Acts prohibit discrimination on the basis of a disability. Students who are requesting disability accommodations must provide supporting documentation. Brooklyn Law School students should contact Louise Cohen at 718-780-0377 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Loyola Law School students should contact Matthew Riojas at 213-736-8152 or email@example.com. If you attend a law school other than Brooklyn or Loyola, ask your law school to provide a letter describing the nature of the accommodation it has provided. The letter should be submitted to email@example.com. Accessibility Although China has established accessibility standards, overall implementation has been slow. Facilities accessible to individuals with disabilities are more readily available, though still greatly limited, in major cities, like Beijing, and other tourist locations. UIBE facilities are accessible to most individuals with disabilities. However, there may be certain areas of the campus or aspects of extracurricular activities that may not be accessible or easily accessible. Faculty and staff will endeavor to meet the needs of individual students in these situations. Please contact Debra Richards at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any accessibility questions or concerns.

Toughness in the playoffs is about winning the battles in the corner and limiting second shots off rebounds in front of the net. Fighting isn't an issue....

I totally get your point. However, I wouldn't suggest even remotely getting into a physical type of game with them as a game plan, legal hit or contact or not. It plays right into their game. Let them come to us to initiate the physical hits and contacts, use quick passes and our speed to get mismatches and odd man offensive situations. If the Bruins feel like they can spare that extra two steps, extra few seconds to put the body on someone, we have to make them pay by getting rid of the puck and quickly and using our speed. All things being equal, the team with the most speed would have the advantage if two guys are tied up on the boards without the puck. It's like 4-on-4, more ice, more room to capitalize on our speed.
Lastly, even if we did decide to engage on a physical level between the whistles with them, we lose. They are a bigger team and would win that battle. Smaller guys hitting bigger guys is okay in instances, but this as a general game plan over a 7 game series, this would wear us down. Advantage Bruins. As Ron Burgundy says, "it's science"
Getting Pumped Babaay!!!!!
Exactly a team like the Wings can't get into the rough stuff and give the Bruins their energy, they really feed off on that. Wings need to play smart and use speed and skill. But obviously I trust Babcock with a good gameplan.
Posted 17 April 2014 - 04:34 PM
I don't want to poke the bear...I want to shoot it.
Posted 17 April 2014 - 04:40 PM
I'm kind of wondering if the Wings will lose this series because of their awful PP. A clear advantage the Wings have is their speed, which could mean the B's are caught taking penalties under pressure. I expect some very critical power plays throughout this series, and I'm just hoping the special teams unit comes prepared. Having Dats back is a huge plus, though.

Poked that bear pretty hard tonight. Glendening eating that hit to hold the puck in the corner and kill the clock was the kind of tough play that wins playoff games.

One of the things that got me thinking last night was this: The terrible NBC talking heads were speaking before the game about the B's ability to play big and aggressive if you want; or play the skill game if you want that instead. That can be intimidating to a lot of teams in the league because with the Bruins they can usually do it better than the opposition.
Turns out after watching the game that the Bruins didnt know which team they were last night. They can't out-skill the class of puck possession teams, and thier "big nastiness" came out like a wimper compared to the Anahiem teams we have faced over the years.
With our generations of players being developed the same puck possession way, it's amazing to watch a "system" beat a team of bigger, better, meaner.

Super Mario Galaxy Review
In the hands of anyone who's been longing for a true sequel to Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy could well be the game of the year, but it's nowhere near as revolutionary as Mario 64.
Galaxy doesn't have a single gimmick (as Sunshine did with FLUDD), but it does consistently mix up gameplay through the introduction of special power-ups. During the game Mario will become a bee, move within a spring, walk on fire and water as an ice man, fly like Superman, become a ghost and throw fire. Other than the rather terrible levels that require the spring power-up, these are all great additions to the game, with the bee sections in particular offering a nice change of pace.
Little touches are seen throughout, which go to highlight the care and attention Nintendo has put into the game. The most significant is how the controls work. It might seem like a given, but when so many Wii games fail to walk the line between gimmick and gameplay, Galaxy's impeccable use of the Wii-mote and Nunchuck is worth shouting about. From the simplicity of the Wii-mote shake to make Mario spin and the mid-air shake that gives you an extra few moments of air-time when you need it, to the instinctive star bit collection using the Wii-mote, it just feels right.
When walking on ice a flick of the Remote causes Mario to start skating, with jumps from then on causing him to pirouette like a trained skater. As Ice Mario you can jump up waterfalls - something you're never told you can do. At times the game is a joy, with the visuals making a mockery of most Wii efforts and Nintendo's decision to use a full orchestral soundtrack an inspired one. For a handful of levels Mario Galaxy is pure gaming at its best.
Bosses also crop up frequently, although one of the most adorable is tackled early on. The most visually impressive is also fought during the first quarter of the game, in your first encounter with Bowser Jnr. The later bosses are tougher but they just don't have the charm of these two highlights. It doesn't help that your main enemy, Bowser, is fought in practically the same way in each of your encounters with him, and these bouts seem sadly lacking in creativity when held up against the more diverse enemies.
60 stars is all it takes to activate the final confrontation, although getting this far will take far longer than your average modern video game. Add in all the stars from uncompleted galaxies and the optional stars activated by the red and green lumas, and you have a game that could take in excess of 30 hours to complete. It's worth it too, with a nice reward given to all players who manage to obtain all 120 stars.
There's just something missing though. As charming as Galaxy is, its ageing roots are clear to see. Adults reminiscing of times gone by will no doubt be captivated throughout, but unless you get all the little references to Nintendo games of the past, the lack of a compelling story and the game's lack of cohesiveness could leave you wanting.
In the hands of anyone who's been longing for a true sequel to Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy could well be the game of the year, but for me the latter half struggles to match the creativity and moments of magic experienced during the opening. It's tough, perhaps too tough for novices, yet its bedtime story-like charm is unlikely to appeal to players who have been spending the last ten years playing Halo, Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy. While Mario 64 did things no gamer has seen before, Galaxy simply builds on this template. It's certainly a better than game Mario 64, but nowhere near as revolutionary.

For those that are just fading to own a robot that changes into something else, well, this is almost there. It is based off of a robot, but it doesnt really have any robot purpose. It does change into a USB drive though, which is very good. It is still not as awesome as it being a robot that could kick some grave butt, but it is something. Plus it gives you something to toy with when youre extremely bored at job or school.
Its not an extremely large drive, which is common with the innovation USB drives. It has 2GB memory, so its not too terrible either. Since it is a Transformer, they are making you pay fair a bit more than you had pay for your regular thumb drive. Its going to cost you $51.41 from Geek Stuff 4 U. Its not out just yet; it appears that itll be formally out this September. You can go ahead and pre-order it now though.

Reducing the frequency of red blood cell transfusion is a goal of modern
blood management. The primary driving force during the past 15 years has been
safety. In the mid 1980s the HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) epidemic and
frequent transmission of hepatitis C led to careful examination of transfusion
practices.1 A review of the data available
then showed no evidence for maintaining hemoglobin concentrations at 10 g/dL
or hematocrit at 30%,1 the so-called 10/30
rule. Subsequent new guidelines urged a lower threshold and consideration
of symptoms and other clinical parameters,2 although
clinical judgment was the cornerstone of many of the recommendations.

Boot Camp Challenge!
Feb 28, 2012
Congratulations to Gauntlet Health & Safety Consultant Beth Kilner who successfully completed the Boot Camp Challenge this weekend...
The Boot Camp Challenge was an event to raise money for Eve Williams. Eve was born with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, this affects both her arms and legs. Eve, who is only 7, is unable to walk or even play with her baby sister Scarlett.
Fortunately, Eve has recently been selected for "Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy" by the world renowned Dr TS Park at the St Louis Children's Hospital in Missouri, USA. SDR is a complex procedure but will give Eve a real shot at increased mobility and a fully independent life, both of which are just a distant dream today. To make this happen Eve's family need to raise a minimum of £45,000.
In an attempt to help, Beth signed up to take part in a gruelling 2 hour boot camp at the David Lloyd Centre in Leeds. The session was a continuous 2 hours and pushed even the fittest to their limit! The total amount raised for the event was over £25,000, which is a fantastic achievement and means the family now have enough money to send Eve to America. Click here to see Beth (far right) and the rest of the participants.

Singapore Airline's fully owned medium/long-haul low-cost subsidiary, Scoot, had launched its flights for slightly more than a month since. Apart from the initial destinations of Sydney and Gold Coast, it had also started flights to Bangkok in July, with Tianjin, Taipei and Tokyo coming up soon. With the 1x daily BKK flights launched to capture the lucrative Oz-Thailand market, it offered me a chance to try out this new kid on the block on a short-haul sector for a weekend jaunt. Prices were offered from $78 all-in one-way in economy, which was rather attractive, considering the tickets were booked barely 2 weeks before the flight. However the return was booked on Jetstar as it offered the lowest fares on my return date.
Scoot only offered a single daily flight, departing at 1725hrs to Bangkok. This allowed me to work for half a day prior to my flight. Scoot utilizes Terminal 2, which offers a far more pleasant airport experience than Budget Terminal. However from late Sept, all the airlines in Budget terminal are also going to move to T2, which I foresee T2 becoming really busy!
Checking in for the flight. No online check-in is available. 4 counters were opened and the queue moved fast. I only had a hand-carry baggage and it was weighed and tagged as a cabin bag. Scoot is really serious about weight and size of carry-ons!
Proceeded through the efficient immigration and went up to the Sunflower to catch a glimpse of the Scoot aircraft. Most planes on the tarmac were SQs and MIs, with the lone yellow Scoot parked all the way at the end at Gate F42.
Scoot with its big brothers. 9V-OTA (ex 9V-SQA) would be operating the flight today! I flew on this exact plane on its 5th day into service with SQ on SIN-PEN in 1997!
Scoot issues proper boarding passes, but it was all in black and white.
More plane spotting from the terminal. Other than SQ A333s, the next common plane was SQ B772s.
Finally an interesting arrival! Lufthansa A380 arriving from Frankfurt!
Departures from T2. All seemed to be regional flights.
After having a light bite at a cafe, I proceeded to the far end of the pier to the gate at F42.
12 July 2012
Singapore (SIN) - Bangkok (BKK)
9V-OTA "Barry"
Economy Class
Proceeded into the very big gatehold room, which was apparently A380-ready. With Scoot's B772s seating up to 400 pax, the gatehold room filled up rather quickly. It would prove to be a rather full flight with mainly Singaporeans on short weekend trips!
9V-OTA hidden behind the boarding bridges.
Boarding was soon announced, starting from ScootBiz, followed by rows from the rear of the plane. Even though no staff was seen enforcing the boarding by rows, passengers apparently cooperated with the announcements and boarded only when rows were called. Was welcomed aboard and directed down the aisle to me seat at 60A. The refurbished cabin looked fresh and clean, with no signs that this is actually a 15-yr old plane! However the aisles are really tiny! Guess the width of the aisles have to be sacrificed in order to fit in 10-abreast. Normal seats were in blue while "Super" or "Stretch" seats with more legroom were in yellow.
Friendly crew were welcoming us passengers onboard but they were not too proactive in assisting with hand-carry luggage. However no problems here as most pax were on the start of the trip and thus not much luggage too. Settled into my seat at 60A. First impression, seat pitch seemed not bad for a supposedly 31" pitch. Width was tight, but felt slightly wider than KLM's seats on their B773ERs (see my previous report). There was a cupholder on the tray table and a really tiny seat pocket. No headrest, footrest and of course no PTVs.
Items in the seat pocket. Inflight mag "Scoot", safety card, BOB menu "EAT", duty free "Scootalogue" and iPad IFE guide "ScooTV".
All passengers boarded. It ended up to be a nearly full flight! Amazed that Scoot was actually able to fill up the entire B772 for this short hop. Guess low fares do play a part. Another thing to add about the seats, the seat recline is actually rather good!
Waiting at the gate for pushback. According to the captain, there would be a short delay due to, whats new, congestion in Changi...
Pushback with safety demonstration. This was done manually by the crew.
We taxied to Rwy20C for takeoff.
LH A380 resting after the long-haul from Frankfurt.
IndiGo A320
Classic Changi scene...
Took off at around 1740hrs bound for Bangkok!
Did a 270 degrees left turn and flew pass Changi again. Nice scenery!
Above Changi, with 4 planes awaiting takeoff.
Climbing to cruise.
After seatbelt signs were turned off, a long post takeoff announcement was made by the crew-in-charge.
First the crew came around with immigration cards. I also took out my iPod, which was to be my only form of inflight entertainment, apart from filling up the immigration card and gazing out of the window.
Shortly after, buy-on-board service started. Quite a number of passengers actually bought snacks, instant noodles or drinks. No hot meals were offered for sale other than pre-booked meals. For a view of Scoot's onboard food menu and entertainment guide, you can vie coot's website. I counted 9 crew in economy class. Not sure about the numbers in ScootBiz though. Quite a fair bit of crew on this budget flight!
Sun is setting...
Now for the Scootitude moment. A pax among a group was celebrating her birthday and her friends had brought a cake onboard to be stored my the crew. Midflight after the BOB service, the Scoot crew came out with the cake with lighted candle and surprised the pax with a "Happy Birthday" song!!
Visit to the lavatory. No changes to them, still the same as on SQ. However, no amenities except the necessary of course. Amenities such as toothbrushes etc will be sold on the longer-haul flights. There is also a drinking water dispenser outside the lavatory, but no paper cups were available. Not sure if Scoot will supply paper cups at the dispenser on the longer-haul flights.
View of the mid-economy cabin. Most of the "blue" seats were taken, but much of the "yellow" ones were empty.
Rest of the flight was spent gazing out of the window at the sunset. At about 40(!!) minutes before arrival, the pilot's arrival announcement came on and the cabin crew immediately prepared the aircraft for arrival! Window shades up, seatback upright, iPod off.... We had not even started our descent! Doesn't this remind you of Scoot's big brother? Just felt that the arrival preparations are done a tad too early, considering that there were not many serviceware to clear too.
Descending through the clouds with speedbrakes up.
Getting lower...
Flying pass the airport
Making a 180 degrees turn back towards the airport.
Almost there
Flaps and gears down.
Landing into Rwy19R.
Parked beside Jet Airways B738.
Lets have another look at the seats. Blue seats by the window.
Another view of the blue seats. Note the reading and call lights control at the side of the arm rest? It resulted in a lot of unwanted "dings" during the flight, which the crew learned to ignore.
Yellow seats with more legroom.
Final verdict, Scoot offers a value-for-money experience for this short flight. Seat pitch is definitely better than the other carriers operating the A320s, while service is similar. Overall a satisfactory low cost flight. Scoot's foray into the BKK market could result in much capacity increase (400 pax on the B772 > 2x 180 pax A320s), resulting in lower prices and yields for all airlines on this sector. We shall see if the other LCCs would adjust their BKK services in the future with Scoot's entrant.

Add another D to the report card for the nation's most dangerous drivers: Drugged.
Drunk and distracted drivers have rightly raised of hue and cry, but more and more, those who patrol the highways are on the lookout for those driving under other influences.
Last week, Pennsylvania certified another 20 troopers and local cops as drug-recognition experts (DREs), bringing the state's total to 109.
New Jersey has about 120 troopers who have finished special training to distinguish drug impairment from alcohol involvement and various medical conditions.

Headed to Oahu? On the south shore of Honolulu lies the world famous Waikiki beach. Once a playground to the Hawaiian royalty, Waikiki is now Oahu's main hotel and resort destination and an exciting gathering place for Oahu's many multinational visitors. If this isn't your first stop when visiting Oahu, it should be one of the top three. It's good to see where it all came from, and get a sense of what keeps Waikiki popular today.
Wakiki is a beach, and a gorgeous one, and surf lessons are readily available. The breaks are long and mellow and good to learn on. Duke Kahanamoku himself grew up surfing the waves there and later was dubbed with the epithet of "the father of modern surfing." Not a bad accolade. Consider getting a lesson from a local tour operator or hotel. On the beach you'll also find world-renown shopping, dining, nightlife, music, and exciting Oahu outdoor activity tours launching from the beach.
If beaching isn't doing it for you, or you're just ready for a change of pace, Waikiki has other attractions to keep you captivated. The Waikiki Aquarium, a tour of Pearl Harbor or visiting 'Iolani Palace could stimulate the history buff, while a stroll along the boulevard could be good for people watching and a light lunch.

Raw Texas cop Tasers 72 year old great-grandmother: A traffic stop for speeding in a construction zone led to the tasering of a 72-year old great-grandmother by a Texas deputy. Kathryn Winkfein, 72, of Granite Schoals, Texas was then handcuffed, and taken away to jail for resisting arrest and detention. The deputy said that when he asked Winkfein to sign the speeding ticket he issued, she refused, used profane language and became violent, at which point he tased her. The great-grandmother admits to speeding, but denies the rest of the deputy's allegations, and has hired an attorney to represent her, she tells a Fox News reporter: Winkfein showed FOX 7 her taser scars. "Here and here. Two places, side by side. It's unreal. It's like an electric shock," she said. "I wasn't argumentative, I was not combative. This is a lie. All of this is a lie, pulled away from him I did not," she said, reading the arrest affidavit. Regardless, it's difficult to fathom how a speeding ticket evolved to the point where a trained law enforcement officer felt the need to jolt an elderly woman with a taser. Fox News has requested a copy of the deputy's dashboard camera video recording of the encounter, but has not yet received a response.
I'll quote Bill Maher on this one: "...what happened? Did she call you a pussy? Because if you're a [grown man] and if you have to tase an elderly woman to get her down, then you are a pussy."

June 10, 2009 www.youtube.com Footage of a 72-year-old Texas woman being tasered after she was issued a speeding ticket has emerged. Travis County police released the footage after Kathryn Winkfein told reporters she had not been aggressive when refusing to sign the ticket issued by a patrolman. The footage shows the great-grandmother being directed to leave her pick-up truck and then arguing with Deputy Chris Beasey as they stand by the road behind the vehicle. "Give it to me and I'll sign it give it to me and I'll sign it," she says, apparently reaching for the ticket. "Get over here now!" he screams, pushing her away. "You're gonna shove me? You're gonna shove a 72-year-old woman?" she replies. Police claim the officer pushed Ms Winkfein to get her away from passing traffic. Deputy Beasey then warns he will use the Taser. "You don't step back, you're going to be tased," he says. "Go ahead, tase me! Hell, a 72-year-old woman," she replies. "Get back, or you're going to be tasered," he repeats. "I dare you," she says. Last Friday, Ms Winkfein told reporters she had not put up any resistance prior to being tasered. "I wasn't arguing all of this is a lie, every bit of this is a lie," she said. But in the footage, Ms Winkfein appears to defy the officer. "I'm getting back in my car," she says. At this point, Deputy Beasey deploys the Taser, bringing her to her knees in apparent agony. "Get on the ground, get on the ground!" he yells as she falls, moaning. "Now put your ...

A 72 years old grandma got tasered because of over speeding in an under construction road in Austin, Texas. She was driving with the speed of 60 MPH on a road where the speed limit was only 40 MPH. The police constable gave her a ticket on over speeding but she refused to sign on the papers. She tried to skip from the shoulder of the road and also used foul language on the constable. The police constable at first tried to be lenient and he also gave her many warnings but the little grandma was getting out of control and thus he had to use a teaser in order to calm her down. The lady fell on the road after getting a taser shock. The little old grandma was then arrested and was put in jail but she was bailed out of the jail the very next day. A lot of people are giving comments on this issue. Some are far and others are against the act of the constable. The Austin community is reacting on the whole scene. Some are saying that the constable should have been lenient to the 72 years old woman, considering her old age. While the others are saying that whatever he did was legal and right because the law is equal for everyone regardless to the age. The movie of the whole scene was made by the camera on the dashboard of the constable?s car. Just take a look of it and tell us ...
A 72-year-old woman who was Tasered by police talks to NBC's "Today" show with Matt Lauer.
The driver was indeed belligerent and resisted arrest, but this officer seemed to be bloodthirsty for any slight indignation that would permit him to do everything within his power. He was obviously taking out unrelated anger on her, but did he really have to save it for this poor old woman? You can see where he gets an erection after tasing her (don't hurt your eyes, there's not much to make an imprint). Remember that when you sign a ticket, you're only agreeing to appear in court on a date to be set later, otherwise you have to be taken in and wait until the magistrate has time to see you. So this officer was completely within his right to arrest her, although it's ultimately his decision to do it, but he was talking about tasing her since he first laid eyes on her. I can only hope that at least something exactly like this happens to his grandmothers and mother.

News: June 11, 2009 A traffic stop in Texas ended with a 72-year-old woman getting tasered, and it was all caught on the officer's dashboard camera. Now, some are asking if the officer went too far. Officer Christopher Bieze pulled Kathryn Winkfein over for speeding on May 11th. Winkfein can be heard arguing with the officer and refusing to sign the citation. A police report says that's when the officer told her to step out of her vehicle and ordered off the roadway. The report says Winkfein then began using profanity and refusing to cooperate, endangering both herself and the officer. He pulled his taser and ordered her to obey his commands. The suspect can be heard daring the officer to shoot her with the taser as she tried to get back in her car. That's when the officer fired the taser to subdue the woman and bring the situation under control. Did the officer go too far? His department says no and is defending his actions. Mrs. Winkfein was checked out by ems workers at the scene and was determined to be unharmed before being taken into custody.
News: June 10, 2009 The headline inspires attention and maybe outrage, but maybe the event was more complicated. Grandmother asks to be tased and eventually it happens-was it understandable or over the top? When I read that a police officer tased a 72-year-old woman, the first emotion I felt was surprise (of course), and the second was curiosity. What the heck happened? Why would anyone ever tase an old woman? After watching the video on MSNBC, I realized that the fault, perhaps, didn't lie with an overzealous and taser-trigger-happy officer. Apparently Kathryn Winkfein was stopped for speeding - she'd been driving 60 mph in a 45 mph zone. So she wasn't exactly a speed demon, but getting pulled over at that speed is understandable. The video showed (with cuts that make it seem as though much less time had passed than actually had) the officer speaking to the woman through the window, then her getting out of the truck and being extremely argumentative. Curse words and a confrontational tone were clearly recorded, and she was certainly not the docile great-grandmother type that I had supposed she was, judging by the headline. She initially refused to sign the ticket, then said things like "take me to jail. Go ahead and take me to jail," and "go ahead. Tase me." At one point she even took a fighting stance against him! The police officer tried to grab her and she jerked her wrist away. After a little longer, when he threatened to tase her, she called his bluff. Down she went ...

What makes me even more sick is the people commenting that she deserved it for not listening to him. FUCK YOU, nobody should be brutalized for "not following orders." This isn't fucking Communist China or Nazi Germany, as much as you dickheads might wish it was. If you don't follow orders then there are legal procedures that don't involve brutalization you morons.
...a mistake made with a gun. The purpose of government shouldn't be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil. A 72 year old woman was tasered? Shocking! Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent...

Texas COP TASERS 72 YEARS OLD WOMAN 9th june 2009........ The shape of things to come.............
This video contains footage that has not been shown by any of the News stations. My thanks to the Travis County Precinct 3 Constable's Office for providing this uncut video. This is almost ten minutes of the incident without cuts. The video brightness and contrast were adjusted for better viewing.
That 72 year old granny that got tasered by the travis county constable has got her own TV show on FOX! the real story below: The Travis County Constable's Office Precinct 3 Tuesday released the dashboard camera video of a questionable traffic stop on Highway 71. The question is, did the deputy go too far in getting the 72-year-old woman to comply or did her actions along a dangerous stretch of highway warranted her being tasered? On the afternoon of May 11, Travis County Deputy Constable Chris Bieze pulled over a white Toyota pickup truck driven by Kathryn Winkfein, 72. The incident report shows she was clocked driving 60 miles an hour in a 45 mile an hour construction zone along Highway 71. After writing the ticket, Bieze radioed to the Precinct 3 dispatcher that it's a routine traffic stop, but what followed was anything but routine. When Deputy Bieze presented Winkfein with the ticket, she refused to sign. "I'm not going to sign it, go ahead and take me to jail, go ahead and take me to jail," Winkfein can be heard telling the deputy in the video. At that point, Bieze informed her if she doesn't sign, he will have to take her to jail, which is standard policy. He then opened her door and asked her to move to the rear of the vehicle. Once out of the vehicle, Winkfein agrees to sign the ticket. She uses profanity in doing so. "Give me the (BLEEPING) thing and just let me sign it," Winkfein said. "Get over here now," Deputy Bieze said. Winkfein then attempts to walk ...

72 year old great grandmother being tasered by policeman twice her size.
Grandma got tasered by a Texas ranger, driving home to our house one unplesant eve. You can say there is no such thing as tyranny in America, but as for me and grandma we believe. There is something seriously wrong with the psyche of youth in America today. They think it is cool to taser a 72 year old grandmother cause she was mouthing off to the police. They think that cop gave her what she deserved and tasing was needed shut her up. Now that the tasing is seen as just, it is now open season on the baby boomer's who try to stand up for their rights against tyrannical authority. Baby boomer's deserve to be tased for being such poor teachers and mentors to our youth, they failed to teach their kids about freedom and liberty. Go ahead Texas Rangers tase away at the boomer's all you want to shut them up if they open their mouths and try to stand up for their rights. Nobody is going to do anything about it. America is dead.
The police claim that after Kathryn Winkfein was stopped for driving 15 miles over the speed limit in a construction zone, she disobeyed an order to sign the speeding ticker, used profane language, and became violent. They say the officer who taserer her and took her to be booked for resisting arrest was completely justified. However, Winkfein says thats a lie, and the video appears to back her up. It shows Constable Richard mccain screaming, Get over here now! Winkfein replies, Give [the ticket] to me and Ill sign it. Instead, the officer reaches out and pushes her, and she starts complaining, Oh, youre going to shove me? Youre going to shove a seventy-two year old woman? mccain then tasers her. As Winkfein lies on the ground screaming, he orders, Now put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back or youre going to be tasered again. Foxs Brian Kilmeade commented after running the video, Officers insisted they acted by the book. What book is that?
www.dailyhump.com ----------------------------- http ------------------------------ Everyone seems to be missing the real issue, THE POLICY ITSELF. This incident is just a symptom of a poor policy. The officer was indeed following protocol, but that does not make the protocol correct. This method of "pain compliance" (torture) for minor offenses is a gross misuse of a technology intended as a last resort for saving lives when facing violent individuals in life threatening situations. These devices have simply become tools to force obedience as if we were animals.

The materials we used were pipe cleaners cut into small pieces, some brads and paper clips. You can use anything that is magnetic. I put them in a plastic container that I had and we used the large red magnet, which I picked up at Lakeshore.
I didn't really plan the "Patriotic" theme, it was just what I had on hand:)
The girls pulled the magnetic items up the side of the container and had a blast seeing how many things they can grab.
Well...all of those little magnetic things found their way OUT of the nice and neat contained container. Oh well...they had fun:)
I went to make some lunch for the girls as they continued to
make a mess discover and learn great stuff with our magnets. When they were done "playing" my two little sweeties complained about cleaning up the mess, which was all over the floor by now. Well...actually, Audrey complained and Sophia just walked away from the mess.
I told Audrey to just use the magnet to pick up the pieces and...it worked:) I wish all toys were magnetic and that easy to clean up! The girls enjoyed this activity! So simple. So FUN! So educational!

Click on the louse to learn more!
A head lice life cycle lasts a maximum of 35 days; that is the life cycle of an individual louse from the time the egg (nits) has been laid until they perish. This does not mean that a head lice infestation will only last thirty five days, quite the contrary, once a louse has perished they leave behind a new generation of head lice. With each female louse laying up to 150 nits these too have the potential to create a colony of lice. The life cycle continues until all head lice and nits have been completely removed from the hair.
Once head lice are in the hair they will start feeding immediately and the female louse will begin to lay eggs or as many of us call them - nits. The female louse can lay anywhere between 50 and 150 nits which are generally laid about one centimeter from the scalp, commonly behind the ears and the back of the neck.
Seven to ten days later the eggs will hatch producing a nymph, leaving the empty nit shell in the very place it was laid. This egg will eventually wear away but this can take months, generally the shell would need to be physically removed during the combing stage of a head lice treatment.
A nymph is an adolescent louse which over the next nine to ten days will moult (shed) its skin in three stages. The moulting of the nymphs skin is part of its transformation into an adult louse.
Female lice pair with a male counterpart just hours into their adult life, preparing for reproduction and with little embryonic development from the female the eggs are laid.
Once the eggs hatch the head lice life cycle begins again.
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional.

Robert M. Hjellming (National Radio Astronomy Observatory)
Many X-ray transients and binaries have radio events which are related to state changes in the X-ray accretion environment. Models for these radio events have been fit to the radio light curve data for the X-ray transients GRO J1655-40 (1994 and 1996 events), GRS 1915+105, XTE J1748-288, 4U1630-47, XTE J2012+38, GRS 1739-278, XTE J0421+560 (CI Cam), XTE 1806-246, Cen X-4, A0620-00, GS2000+25, XRN Muscae 1991, V404 Cyg, Cyg X-3, and GRO J0422+32. Most of these events are fit by models for the ejection of jets for a finite period of time; however, in some cases expanding spherical "bubble" or "torus" models of relativistic plasma provide the best fits to the data. For the cases where images of the expanding radio emission have been obtained, the light curve fitting confirms the general characteristics of the models used for the radio light curve events. With the results for a large number of transients events some general conclusions about the ejections of jets and others forms of relativistic plasma are possible.

Scholarship Rejection Letter
It is a common scenario that many poor but bright students, who have high career goals, depend on financial support to pursue those goals. These students are otherwise, not capable of seeking high standard education. This financial aid is in the form of a scholarship, which a scholarship committee, an individual or the government awards to the student. There is a huge competition to receive such scholarship and many students apply for it. You being in the authorization body to decide upon the scholarship grants will have to scrutinize enormous applications and not all students will be lucky to receive the aid. You need to send a scholarship rejection letter to all such students.
Tips to write a rejection letter for scholarship grant:
- Use a formal letterhead to write the letter, and also use considerate and careful language
- The purpose of the letter should be informing the denial of financial aid and not to demean or let down the student.
- Without hurting the students' feeling, convey the decision with proper reasoning. For e.g. the merit cut-off, incomplete documentation or inefficiency to aid specific programs etc. may be few such reasons of denial.
- If the reason is re-correctable like incomplete documentation, then intimate the student about the same, and allow a deadline to do so. If not so, then inform if they can re-apply to your organization.
- Tell the student, if he can call your company directly, further to any clarifications
- At the end, wish the candidate luck and acknowledge his application as worthy, but your limits to accept it.

Re: Scholarship application no#12345
Dear Mr. Gonzalez,
I would firstly, like to thank you for having applied with Helping Hand Scholarship Foundation, which is a renowned foundation involved in advancing intellects via 25 scholarships totaling to $2500 every year.
We received your scholarship request application with the above referenced number dated January 01, 2011. Our esteemed panel of committee members reviewed your application with due care. However, on behalf of the management board and committee members, I regret to inform you that your name does not reflect in the list of qualified students for scholarship this year.
The reasons for rejection of the application are first, the application was incomplete in terms of documentation attached, and secondly, it does not go along with our foundation aid programs.
However, if you are willing to apply for any other program that goes along with our support criteria, send in a complete new application before the end of this month. We will be glad to consider your application and assure you fair and valid review.
Should you have any further clarifications required, feel free to call me at 456-789-2354. Though your application was worthy, we regret your rejection for scholarship support. Wish you all the best for your future and career.
Yours faithfully,
Jacob Leo
Head Analyst Committee
Make sure your scholarship rejection letter is non-biased and written on valid grounds. Never let the letter of rejection be de-moralizing for a student.

on July 6, 2012 - 12:01 AM
Last July, about 3,000 visitors made their way across the pockmarked streetscape of the East Side and into the sunlit grand lobby of the Central Terminal to attend Buffalo's first-ever major art fair.
They circulated through the makeshift booths, handsomely adorned with work by an impressive roster of local artists, stopping occasionally to squint their eyes at this or that painting and strike the classic hand-to-chin pose of discerning art collectors everywhere. (The one that says: "I am a serious person, seriously looking at this serious art.")
But those visitors bought, if they bought anything all, very cautiously.
The juried, for-profit event, conceived only three months prior by Buffalo booster and art world jet-setter E. Frits Abell, was designed to confront a central and pressing supply-and-demand issue in Western New York's dizzying visual arts culture: Artists churn out untold amounts of high-quality artworks to buy, but not nearly enough collectors are interested in buying them.
Abell and many participants hailed the first version of Echo Art Fair as a marked success, even if some artists and galleries The Buffalo News spoke with were less than enthralled with the financial results. But it went well enough that Abell, along with his new organizing partner Dean Brownrout and a slate of active figures from across the Western New York art world, decided to have another go.
And this time around, Echo is a whole different animal.
On Saturday and Sunday, the newly revitalized Larkin District will become a hive of activity surrounding the fair's amped-up second edition. The fair will be held on the ground floor of the Larkin Center of Commerce, a raw, warehouse-like space with a resolutely Rust Belt vibe. It will feature 28 booths for individual artists and 15 booths for galleries.
There are several marked differences in this year's version of the fair. Perhaps most notably, Echo is hosting six Toronto-based galleries, as well as artists and galleries from Portland, Ore. and Austin, Texas in addition to its array of local artists and art spaces.
In the Larkin Center and outside the fair in a space that's being temporary renamed Larkin Art Square for the weekend, several site-specific sculptures and installations organized by Echo will dot the Larkin-scape. These include major sculptures by Scott Bye; an etching of the Great Lakes on the soon-to-be-renovated Swan Lounge by Canadian art collective TH&B and Niagara Falls artist Partick Robideau's wood models of industrial buildings and a mixed-media sculpture.
Like larger art fairs in larger cities, Echo has also spawned a separate and unaffiliated satellite art fair featuring work by artists who are not included in the main fair -- and some of whom have been vocally critical of its evolving mission. This satellite art market -- featuring work by well-known local artists like Amanda Besl, Ani Hoover, A.J. Fries and Lesley Horowitz -- will run from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in Larkin Square and will also include performances by several Buffalo-based bands.
Also, from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday, the Dnipro Ukranian Cultural Center (562 Genesee St.) will host "d'echodance," a sprawling dance party that has been much hyped in recent weeks which only adds to Echo's growing, carefully curated cool-factor.
For Abell, who launched Echo a little over a year ago after his success as the founder of the active Buffalo Expat Network, the fair is meant in part to encourage Western New Yorkers to become more involved in collecting the art made in their own backyard. It was also designed to draw those who have moved away from the city back home for the weekend to see how far the city has come in their absence.
"We have a long history of collecting in the arts. The creative class is moving in increasing numbers to Buffalo so this is a way for [artists] to market and commercialize their work," he said. "There are so many talented people based here that I think it would be unfortunate not to carry on the tradition that Buffalo's always had as being supporters of the arts and support those who are living here."
But it isn't just about buying and selling art, an activity that has been unfairly "stigmatized as an elitist sport," Abell added. The surrounding culture, the calculated hipness of the event and its location in a newly revitalized neighborhood plays into his desire to position echo as an event that helps to boost the image of the city as a whole.
"I don't want this just to be a commercial venture. I want it to be a commercial venture with an underlying social purpose, which it has," he said. "The underlying social mission is to help the local as well as non-local art market evolve to where people can sell their work and to where people who might have an appreciation for art can learn to have a better appreciation."
But art fairs, wherever they are held, almost always stir up controversy in their own communities and beyond. The same applies to Echo, which has been the subject of several heated debates in recent months over its inclusion of galleries and artists from outside Western New York and for rejecting many artists who participated in last year's fair.
Bruce Adams, a 2011 Echo participant who was not accepted to this year's fair, made some subtle critiques of the Abell's decision to include outside galleries and artists, but stressed that the fair is a young project that has yet to grow into its potential.
"I'm not sure Echo has settled on its identity yet," Adams said. "It's widely accepted that Buffalo is a great area for producing art, but not such a great area for selling it or for marketing. I think the initial impetus was to have an art fair in town that would bring buyers in from other cities. I think it's almost ironic that to some degree, it's flip-flopped, where it's bringing galleries in from other areas to attempt to reach our market, which is pretty slim. So I don't know how that's going to work out."
Abell, for his part, said he regrets that this year's fair -- which was originally planned to be much larger and include more artists -- wound up being smaller than expected because of space constraints. But he also stressed that Echo was never meant to be limited to Western New York artists, galleries or collectors.
"My intention is to base it here and to help get exposure for the artists working here, but that certainly does not mean that I'm relegating it to here," he said. "I want out-of-town artists coming here and galleries coming here and seeing how great Buffalo is."
One positive outgrowth of last year's fair, Abell said, was the decision of out-of-town Echo participant and Hallwalls co-founder Charlie Clough to return to Buffalo part-time to paint. Other artist expats, he said, are now spending more time in the city as well.
Outgoing Albright-Knox Art Gallery Director Louis Grachos, an Echo juror who used his major art-world clout to help draw four Toronto galleries to the fair, sees Echo as a potential tool for local artists to connect to buyers in other cities.
"I think it really creates a new energy, but it also is a great opportunity for Buffalo artists to showcase [their work] and connect" to Toronto's vast art market, Grachos said. "I'd like to see as this thing grows that it would happen with other cities and other galleries from other parts of the country. It really is a very important part of why the fair is, in my mind, a really good step."
Susan Hobbs, who runs her eponymous gallery on Tecumseth Street in Toronto, said she is looking forward to introducing her gallery's roster of artists to the American art market.
"I find that Americans -- this is a generalization -- are much more open to looking at new work, to looking at new ideas and to discovery, and that Canadians are much more conservative in that respect," she said. "[Abell and Grachos] said that there was a small but dedicated group of people collecting contemporary work and that they were very open-minded and interested in new things. To me, that's worth a trip an hour-and-a-half down the road."
Among many far larger and sexier cities in the money-driven upper echelons of the international art world, Buffalo hardly rates. But as Echo finds its footing, Abell, Grachos and the event's other backers are hoping to change that.
"It's not on the radar. It's not Dubai, it's not London, it's not Hong Kong," Abell said. But Echo is, he added, "a great opportunity for us to hover below the radar and take some market share."

He must ever be on the alert to detect in the new-born infant signs of thymic disturbance.

A Pop-up Camper for Your Bike (Photos)
Image: Kamp-Rite
Planning on taking off a couple days with nothing but a stuffed bag and bicycle?
You mom might whine about the dangers that lurk around, but reassure her that you'll be in warm and cozy accommodations. Kamp-Rite's Midget Bushtrekka is a one-person pop-up camper that's perfect for bicycle touring. There are three compartments with more than 41 gallons of storage, and the pivoting wheels help absorb the impact of uneven terrain. The video below shows the camper before and after setup.
But as great as the Midget Bushtrekka sounds, there are two major downsides. Homes, even makeshift ones towed by bikes, are heavy, and the Miget Bushtrekka is no different, weighing in at 56 pounds. The price tag's hefty too at $899.99. Double ouch for your legs and wallet.

The John F. Kennedy Eagles shot 345 and are ninth after the first day of the Division III state golf tournament at North Star Golf Resort in Sunbury.
Kennedy didn't meet its goal for a team score of 320, but it's in position to make a possible move today up the leaderboard. Ashland Crestview is leading the tournament with a 323.
"We are only 10 shots back of fifth place," Kennedy coach Jim St. George said. "It's not out of the reality to finish fifth or sixth if we play well on Saturday.
"They golfed with the team that's in first and third place, so the kids saw what they had to do. It's a very good test to golf with these teams and on this course."
St. George said his team shot well in difficult conditions.
"It was a very tough course, and it was cold, windy conditions, but everyone is playing in them," he said. "This is the pinnacle of the high school tournament. There are no excuses from our team. But out of 72 players, I only think nine players broke 80, so for our guys to be right there is a good thing."
James LaPolla leads the Eagles with an 83, while Ryan Fowler shot an 84, Billy Phillips had an 86 and Stephen Macali shot 92. Daniel LaPolla is the fifth member of the team with a 96.
Fowler and Daniel LaPolla had big turnarounds from their front and back nines. Fowler shot a 46 then a 38. For Daniel, he shot a 52, then came back with a 44.
"The conditions were rainy and cold, but everyone has to play in these conditions," St. George said. "Daniel (LaPolla) and Ryan (Fowler) bounced back a lot on their second nine today, so hopefully that builds their confidence to bounce back tomorrow. We're just trying to get in to the middle of the groups."
The Eagles dominated on their way to state, winning both their sectional and district tournaments. St. George said that was the real pressure on the team and competing at state should just be a formality.
"I think there is way less pressure at the state tournament then there is at districts," he said. "State is the frosting on the cake. It's really fun, but the pressure was getting out of districts. There were only two teams that could have got out of districts and we did that."
While Kennedy didn't play as well as hoped on Friday, St. George said the Eagles have a good chance to turn things around today.
"We're in a 10-round boxing match," he said. "I told the kids, we've been knocked out in the first five rounds, but we can get up off the mat and finish strong with our heads held high."
The team tees off at 9 a.m. today for the final round.
