Re: WWE 2006 by Renegade
Summerslam Review.
Batista & Lashley v Booker, Regal & Finlay.
This match was an all out brawl, and definitely an interesting choice to start the show with, Id be interested to know why you chose it actually. I quite enjoyed this match, and no surprise to see the faces come out on top. Hopefully this brings the end of the feud however.
Hardy hypes his match with Hassan, but I did think that he was a little out of character. None the less it got his match over.
Rhyno v Raven.
This match was great! I loved it from start to finish. It had me right from where Raven covers Rhino right at the start. This one was totally hardcore. Wrestling moves got thrown out the window in this one, as hardcore ruled. It was just fierce, Ive read it a couple of times, I loved it! Lol. I wouldve prefereed Rhyno to get the win, but Raven deserved it! My only criticism is that it couldve gone a bit longer.
Hardcore Holly gets the Title after the match taking advantage of the 24/7 rule, definitely didnt see that coming, which is a good thing, but Hollys on Smackdown?
Goldberg is shit scared of Taker, and clearly doesnt want a piece of this match. Hes clearly going to get his ass kicked tonight.
Hardy v Hassan
I was hoping for more from this match, wrestling wise it was quite good but I did hope it would go a tad longer, Jeff costs Hassan the title, probably prolonging the feud. Glad to see Hardy get the title though.
I enjoyed the promo from the Tag champs, put over the match well and both men were both in character nicely.
Cade and Jindrack v NAO
Cant say I was a big fan of this one at all. Mainly because I hate both teams, but oh well. I dare say the feud will continue though.
Lol. Raven gets his title back, how cool. Hope this continues!
Kennedy v Orton
Orton defeats Kennedy? Wholy crap. I didnt expect that. It was very short after the slow start, but towards the end it really got quicker which was cool, you could literally see the pick up in pace. Youre obviously going to give Orton a push, well I hope you are, because Kennedys just been crushed.
Lol Kings court breaks up. Fair enough, makes sense too me. No more feud for them, yay!
AJ v Haas.
GREAT MATCH! Fast paced, flowed wonderfully. AJ wins by DQ, which pretty much guarantees the feud for continues. Match of the night thus far, eclipsing the hardcore match! Awesome stuff man! Loved it!
Lol. Coach wins the hardcore title now? Hahaha wtf
Cool segment with Torrie/Carlito/Haas. Hoping to see this turn into a triple threat feud for the title.
MNM v AMW
I have to admit, until about 4 weeks ago I wasnt a fan of AMW, and I dont like MNM at all, but this match was great. I loved Melinas role in stopping the refs count when it looked of, it was a great match, with plenty of near falls.
Intense promo with HBK and Vince, but I have to say it was a bit unrealistic as HBK seemed out of character.
Cena v Austin
This one told a story, you really got the impression that Cena and Austin do not like each other at all, no shock to see all the brawling in it, but I was surprised to see such a decent amount of wrestling in here. I enjoyed this match and I dont enjoy many Cena matches at all.
Quick promo between Angle and Benoit. I loved it, both men showing each other the respect they deserve!
Taker v Goldberg.
An all out brawl as expected. I have to admit I didnt like the ending, but it definitely continues the feud, probably with a NO DQ type match, was this one had a very hardcore type feel about it. I have to say that this one was a bit of a let down, but I expect to see the feud recover. I must admit that I loved some of the spots in this one though!
HBK v Hunter
Didnt expect the start. HBK doesnt give the finger because of the whole religion thing, but ah well, although it was unrealistic, it was cool because I didnt see it coming! I did enjoy this match, it definitely had the length too it, plenty of near falls, increasing the suspense. I loved how you pointed out the pop from the crowd for the SCM to Vince. Surprising match at the end, as I somehow expected Shawn to win.
Holly gets the hardcore title again. Thats awesome. Loving the hardcore title part of the show!
Fatal Fourway
Great match! New match of the night! I thought it wouldve gone a little bit longer, and I was surprised to see Angle retain, half of me expected Benoit to get the win, none the less it was great.
Main Event
Another great match. Busting the 40 minute barrier. Simple brilliant. You eliminated the right people at the right times imo. I was a little disappointed to see Edge go so early, but oh well. The ending was HUGE! Great way to end it! I was half expecting Christian to pick up the win, but still, an ending like that was brilliant. This was the sort of match that I would happily pay money to see, it was great. I pictured it all in my head with ease. Totally brilliant. To be honest the only major thing I didnt like was that you eliminated 4 guys in about 8 minutes, but I admit it definitely added too the match.
The main event was absolutely brilliant. I could picture it all. Brilliant. I cant say it often enough. Definitely looking forward to your next match.

Thanks for the great explanation. I'm thinking of getting one of
these and will keep this posting for future reference.
Will any of the other Nokia devices work with m0n0wall (example Nokia
IP330 or 530)?

I currently have it running on a soekris box but recently aquired this IP110 from old stock at work.
Can I use the 5GB hard disk that comes with this unit? Or must I use a IDE>CF kit? Also I am
assuming I can use the Generic PC image. Currently I've taken the 5GB disk and attached it to my
USB 2.5 enclosure from which I imaged the disk with the generic image, however I'm not sure if this
is the correct procedure or not with the Nokia's.

Bpeace has operated in Afghanistan since 2004.
Nearly 2,766 Afghan family members are literally nourished by the jobs created by 18 Bpeace Fast Runners in Kabul, Mazar, Herat and Bamiyan.
Job growth in our current portfolio is 33% among businesses in technology, entertainment, manufacturing and for-profit education.
Increasing jobs in El Salvador is the best deterrent to the spread of gang violence.
El Salvador is Bpeace's largest portfolio of Fast Runners, with 28 businesses. Among businesses who have been in the Bpeace program for more than a year, job growth is 24%.
71% of the Salvadoran Fast Runner businesses are women owned or led. 82% of the portfolio is focused on three industries: food processing, technology and manufacturing.

|Zarghuna began her Bpeace journey owning one beauty salon with nine employees. We helped her absorb best practices at U.S. beauty salons, provided strong management training by Bpeace staff in her hometown of Mazar and matched her with a New York fitness center for technical help. Today Zarghuna operates three salons and two fitness studios, and employs 60 Afghan women. These employees in turn support 360 family members. The services Zarghuna's businesses provide bring self-esteem to more than 4,000 Afghan women every year.

Reviews for this host's other properties
A very friendly host who was extremly intressted in his guests. He waited us with fruits and a lot of advise and suggestions. He solved all our problems with elegance.
For some reasons we got another flat than we ordered but the location of the new flat was perfect for us - 5 minutes to subwaystation from where we could reach whatever we wanted. Restaurangs and a grocery were close to us. We were pleased.
A suggestion to improvement is to look over the endowment of the kitchen. The host is 10 and the flat is 8.
Change of apartment the day of arrival without informing us in advance. But the apartment which we had the right location was great (very close subway and bus access, several museums around). The flat, clean, well equipped except kitchen level (only one usable saucepan and one glass). Another downside: the building is very noisy although one is in a fairly quiet area.
Changement d'appartement le jour de notre arrivée sans nous avoir prévenu au préalable. Mais l'appartement auquel nous avons eu le droit était très bien situé (accès métro et bus très proches, plusieurs musées aux alentours). L'appartement, propre, est bien équipé sauf au niveau de la cuisine (seule une casserole utilisable et un seul verre). Autre bémol : l'immeuble est très bruyant malgré que l'on soit dans un quartier plutôt calme.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Menelaos is a good host he always is ready if you need something.
The apartment was comfortable, clean and you have all you need.
The bad point you have not internet wifi but the rest it was good.
thanks Menalaos keep in touch.
He said he could not go because I was late, closed the book, and I charged all the money, without even going. I hope it's a mistake. I was not there I feel cheated
Me dijo que no podía ir porque llegaba tarde, cerró la reserva y me ha cobrado todo el dinero, sin ni tan siquiera ir. espero que sea una equivocación. No estuve allí me siento estafado
I had a pleasant stay in an exellent environment.
Overall good: good location (10 minutes from the center), quiet (except one night when a woman gave to scream ...) and the apartment had announced what (room with kitchen and bathroom). Just mention the discomfort of the bed. Appropriate value for money.
En general bien: buena ubicación (a 10 minutos andando del centro), zona tranquila (excepto alguna noche cuando una mujer le dió por chillar...) y el apartamento tenía lo que anunciaba (habitación con cocina y baño). Sólo mencionar la incomodidad de la cama. Adecuada relación calidad precio.
--sofa bed in addition to futon bed
--balcony – no view, but nice to sit outside on
--safe, residential part of town
--internet café across street, convenient for confirming airline reservation
--Menelaos's friend who let us in and explained the features of the apt. was very helpful
--very reasonably priced
--Menelaos had turned off his cell, and so we upon our arrival we had to wait around quite a bit before we were able to contact him
--the neighborhood is often noisy in the evening
--it a bit far from everything unless you are a good walker (12 minutes to Evangelismos metro; 20-25 minutes to Plaka)
--no coffee maker
--no microwave, but wasn't missed b/c of good cookware
--there is an iron, but no alarm clock
Upon arrival, Menelaos contacted me. Excellent apartment, but there was a change of apartment without consulting in advance. Apartment was beautiful but a bit further from the center. Outside this very satisfied.
Bij aankomst heeft Menelaos contact met me opgenomen. Prima appartement, wel was er een wisseling van appartement zonder overleg van te voren. Appartement was mooier maar wel wat verder van het centrum. Buiten dit zeer tevreden.
The landlord himself took with us when we landed in Athens. The apartment was modern and well cared for. It was in a nice class area of Athens. Metro, bus and trolley around the corner. Good bakery with coffee, delicious restaurants! The apartment is a great starting point for trips to the center, Plaka, Parliament, Voula Beach and Pireaushaven for a trip to an island. A real must cost!
De verhuurder nam zelf contact op met ons in Athene toen we geland waren. Het appartement was modern en goed verzorgd. Het lag in een gezellige volkswijk van Athene. Metro, bus en trolley om de hoek. Goede bakkerij met koffie, heerlijke restaurantjes! Het appartement is een prima uitgangspunt voor uitstapjes naar het centrum, Plaka, Parlement, Voula Beach en Pireaushaven voor een tochtje naar een eiland. Een echte voordelige aanrader!

Hot and Humid
... Mora, Katie, Rios, and Sam eating and the host pulled up our chairs with them. I had some veg biriyani and chapati. It was nice and cheap and quick. As it neared three we got our bill ( in India they call checks bills which makes a lot of sense) and headed back to our hotel.
It was about 3:05 so Olivia and Jacci were actually walking around looking for us but luckily they didn't get too far and we all found each other. A man walked over to us and told us he was ...
Abode, sweet, Abode
... and really only expected to relax at the hotel and go swimming.
In the morning, after an excellent breakfast of scrambled egg (or "scrumbled egg" as it is known here!); tropicana and the obligatory jam and toast, we headed out to meet Stanley Wilson, of Wilson tours, with whom we had booked a trip to Munnar. We also had a wander around Princess Street, bought ice-cream from Gelato, then headed back to the hotel for a midday swim.
I had a ...
Half Term Review.
... it not for the intervention of Jijo in my treatment plan I think I would have not stayed here as it was obvious to me that the two inexperienced boys would never soften any muscles even if left to it for a year ! At least my arrival has assisted them in being educated how to do a massage and Peter, the German doctor, attested to this when he had a massage on his final day and said it was significantly better than the massages he had before going to Goa. India ...

... window! We ended up chatting about our travelling experience over a drink. They were really impressed with their food they'd just had there so I made a mental note to visit the place next time I would be hungry. Funny thing: it was probably one of the closest restaurants from my guest house and I hadn't eaten there yet. I told them what I felt about Kochi and what I had seen there already and where I was planning to go next. We all left the restaurant together and went to ...
... England. As it had been a Dutch, Portuguese and then English Colony the architecture reminded us of a small cute little village in the English countryside. The cute little houses added a lot of character and made it a very enjoyable place to walk around.

A thoughtful blend from Frantoi Cutrera, this special extra virgin olive oil is made from hand-picked Moresca, Biancolilla, Nocellara, Cerasuola, Tonda Iblea olives to create an oil that is harmonious and well-balanced in flavor. Medium-bodied, its flavor is pleasantly bitter and a spicy with hints of artichoke and oregano. Try with marinated fish, mushrooms, salads, soups and delicate grilled red meat. An all-around great oil for cooking any recipe of Mediterranean cuisine.
For generations the Cutrera family has been dedicating their lives to the cultivation of olive trees and olive oil production, a profession carried on for decades with passion and love that binds the family to its land. The company's origins date back more than a century ago to 1906 when the Cutrera family first began to cultivate and care for their olive trees in Chiaramonte Gulfi, a small town in south-eastern Sicily. In 1979, Giovanni Cutrera, the head of the family, founded their very first mill the help of his wife, Mary. Over the years Giovanni's children, Maria, Giusy and Salvatore joined their Dad on his farm, and in 1999, decided to open a second mill. The Cutrera family pays diligent attention to each stage of olive oil production: harvesting the olives by hand to minimize damage, transporting the olives to the mill within 6 hours and cold-extracting the oil with scrupulous attention. By maintaining a balance between tradition and innovation, Frantoi Cutrera continues the legacy that the farm's members have been putting into practice for over a century.

Short Story by: ERcubed
Status: Finished
Genre: Flash Fiction
I sleep ever so soundly, the warmth of my bed and covers prevent me from fully waking. A sudden noise, the noise of a lock being released, immediately makes me aware that I am not in my comfy bed; instead I am inside a cell. I wear clothes that do not belong to me, and the memories of how I got here are a bit… foggy. Luckily someone has just opened the metal gate that prevented me from getting out. As I begin to walk towards the exit, I struggle to remember if I've ever tried to escape before. I know it's unfair to be in this place, I think I must be here against my will. I look around and I do not remember any of the sights; the walls around me are new to me and my mind struggles to understand. I hesitantly walk towards the opened gate thinking that I have nowhere to go once you get out! Suddenly, I hear a clash from outside the gate: Someone has just realized that the gate to my cell is open. Its metal finality announces my sentence. The foreign room and sights are too overwhelming so I decided to go back to sleep, for when my eyes are closed and I am covered with this blanket I do not own, I am no longer in this cell. I am home; a home that only exists within my mind.
The shock is overwhelming; I can't believe the amount of pain I am in. When I suddenly open my eyes and discover nothing but darkness. It surrounds me; opening and closing my eyes becomes the same. It doesn't matter what I do, I can't see what is being done to me, I just know it's painful and I cannot help but scream. Scream? I can't scream either, my voice is gone and any effort I put forth to bring that familiar feeling of producing sounds from the bottom of my throat is gone; alien to me, as if I have never spoken, as if I never saw before. The pain goes on and it worsens, I want to sleep but sleeping was what got me to this point. I've given up my voice, and I've given up the faculty of seeing things. I only know the pain that spreads across my body. I regret not leaving the cell and I regret not fighting against my own heavy body. But it's too late. I can only hope that one day the excruciating pain will stop.
My eyes shoot wide open; images that I expect to see around me are no longer there. Before I was in a cell all alone, trapped in a place where everything was provided for [me]. Now I find myself in a large room filled with beds, many people are soundly asleep. A distant rooster announces daybreak. I close my eyes hoping to escape this confusion once again, but the more I try to fall asleep the more awake I feel. I begin to look around me. The time of twilight provides just enough illumination to vaguely see the beds in the room. There are about forty beds all of them housing at least one individual. I look at them with envy; I wish I could simply numb whatever sense of awareness is allowing me to stay awake. I think soon twilight will end and then I can ask those who sleep about my current location. It seems, as though hours continue to go by.
Then days; turn into months. I am awake and fully aware of it. The ones who sleep remain so. Eventually I grow tired with impatience and begin to think about waking those around me. I look to my right and I see a person standing there. Startled, I begin to back away from her, but eventually I regain my courage to ask about this large room. The person speaks with a nostalgic tone. The person explains that in order to fall asleep I must try to get out of my bed. If I do so I will quickly grow tired with the heavy burden of trying, then I will easily regain the -much desired- suspended state. The person goes to a bed where she quickly falls asleep. I try to ask about the place but it is all in vain, the stranger can no longer hear me. At least now I know how to be like the rest; I wonder if whatever life I used to have is worth trying to regain. I wonder if whatever memories I have lost are important. I wonder that maybe, if I were able to remember, I could have more motivation to get out from this room. At last I decide to stand up but as soon as I try, I begin to experience a strange heaviness around my body. In the end I decide to remain.

had the small black nose, Dale had the bigger red nose (or was it the other
way around?) Chip was always the more practical, businesslike of the two;
Dale was the fun loving, goofier one. Beyond those two distinctions, there
was not too much difference between the two, and their joint warfare against
a number of enemies, usually Donald Duck, made the pair inseparable.
They originally started as bit players with no intention of continuing
on beyond a one-shot role in "Private Pluto." Disney had been looking for
different foils for Donald, and Jack Hannah took the two (who had been originally
developed by Gerry Geronomi) and gave them more personality. Their voices
were performed by Jimmy MacDonald and Dessie Flynn.
Chip 'n' Dale were rarely malevolent, and their drives originated from
two simple motives; finding (or keeping) a place to live and finding (or
keeping) food. But once they got started protecting their own well-being,
it was always difficult for them not to try to have a little fun with whatever
their situation was. Especially with Donald, who always seemed to get the
worst of their mischief. Only once did they truly find themselves in competition
with each other; over a cute little female chipmunk named Clarice.
Chip 'n' Dale appeared in 23 different shorts, and were revived for the
featurette "Mickey's Christmas Carol." We've also been promised that we
should see them in upcoming "Mickey's Mouse Works" shorts as well.

Sorry, there are no upcoming events
The contemporary church must change her physical feature. For too long, we have been identified by steeples, suits, bricks and buses. Our new look should resemble a Body that is able to transform the lives of the oppressed, possessed and the depressed through Scripture.
Here at Hopewell, God's Word is preeminent. You will discover that whether one is 2 years of age or 92 years of age, there is something for everyone at Hopewell. We are the church Where the Word is Changing Lives and your needs are met by God's Promises.

'Peace At Home' License Plates to Raise Revenue
'Peace At Home' License Plates to Raise Revenue
Governor George E. Pataki announced has proposed legislation to help combat domestic violence by allowing the sale of custom license plates bearing the message, "Peace at Home." The revenue generated from the sale of the plates would be used to support a newly established Domestic Violence Awareness Fund.
"This legislation would help strengthen our battle to combat the scourge of domestic violence by generating additional resources and heightening public awareness," Govenor Pataki said. "The funds raised through the sale of the "Peace at Home" license plates will be used to help us spread the word that domestic violence will not be tolerated in New York State."
This bill would create a custom license plate bearing the message "Peace at Home," sending a positive anti-domestic violence message to residents of New York State and across the country. In addition, purchase of the plate would generate revenue, to be deposited in the Domestic Violence Awareness Fund, to expand public awareness and education activities conducted by the Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence.
The Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence conducts annual and ongoing public awareness campaigns, which include public service announcements, bumper stickers, brochures and posters. The Office also provides training and holds conferences to raise awareness and increase understanding of domestic violence among the general public and professionals who provide services to victims.
While new laws attempt to improve protection and services for victims and increase accountability of offenders, much work remains in educating the public about domestic violence.

Netanyahu Mocks Legitimate Governance
Netanuahu heads Israel's sham government.
by Stephen Lendman
Netanyahu never met a non-Jew he considered equal, a peace plan he didn't spurn, a law he didn't violate, or truth he didn't turn on its head.
He reveals Israel's true face. He's contemptuous of Palestinians, other Arabs, and Iranians. He considers them subhuman enemies. More on his latest outburst below.
New York Times columnist Tom Friedman is notoriously pro-Israeli. At the same time, he calls the "far-right group running Israel today so arrogant." He omitted lawless, racist, hawkish, and menacing.
Palestinians wanted liberation and peace for decades. They agreed to relinquish plenty for it. Israel enforces occupation violently. On Saturday, half a million Gazans massed in Gaza City's Kateba Square.
They commemorated Hamas' 25th anniversary. More than 3,000 foreign guests joined them. They came from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Malaysia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Algeria, Britain, and several other European countries.
A main stage was erected for speakers. Two empty chairs were positioned on it symbolically. They represented Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Qassam Brigades head Ahmad Jabari.
Israel murdered them in cold blood. They're two of many Palestinian martyrs. They're lionized as heroes. Rogue killers remain unaccountable. Justice has miles to go.
Political Bureau Chairman Khaled Meshal said occupation never will be recognized. Freedom depends on resistance. He urged regional country support.
He called resistance a means, not an end. He added that "should the world find a means (to) liberate Palestine, liberate Jerusalem, and achieve the right of return without resistance, let them try."
Sixty-four years of trying produced nothing. History teaches that liberation depends on resistance. He vowed to keep working for free Palestine.
Electronic Intifada co-founder Ali Abuninmah discussed one example of how media scoundrels misreport what Hamas leaders say.
The London Observer sister publication to the Guardian misquoted Meshal. It claimed he said:

If you watch the trailer for Bad Words, Jason Bateman's directorial debut about a 40-year-old spelling bee participant (and asshat), you'll get plenty of off-color jokes and a cute kid. And, sure, that's enough to sell a legitimately entertaining movie. But what you won't get is a good taste of the movie's secret sauce—and that comes courtesy of comic actress extraordinaire Kathryn Hahn.
You might not know Hahn's name, but you know her work. Parks and Recreation's high-powered, high-libido political strategist Jennifer Barkley? That's her. Alice, Derek's miserable wife (and Dale's confusing lover) in Step Brothers? Yup. She's also the colleague who pointed out Ron's teleprompter problems in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. She's even stolen scenes on The Newsroom and Girls. Now she's the secret weapon in Bad Words, where she plays a reporter trying to get the scoop on Bateman's character's quest to win a national spelling bee at 40 years old. (She also maybe sleeps with him—repeatedly—screaming "don't look at me!" the entire time.)
And she's just getting started. The actress has four more films slated to come out this year alone, with more in 2015, including Brad Bird's sci-fi mystery movie Tomorrowland. Here's everything you need to know about comedy's stealth maestro, and why you need to get familiar with her.
Name: Kathryn Hahn
Known For: Parks and Recreation, Step Brothers, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, We're the Millers, and now Bad Words.
Fact 1: She's been a friend of Bateman's for a while, and when they had to fake-bone for Bad Words, they put pillows between them to keep from laughing.
"It was like the princess and the pea," Hahn says, adding that it was hard to keep a straight face while filming the movie's sex scene in a janitor's closet. "We were all giggling," she says. "It made it perfect. Perfectly surreal. And as un-erotic as a sex scene could be, which is exactly what it was on camera."
Fact 2: She steals every Parks and Rec scene she's in, but gives all the credit to everyone else.
Next to Jean-Ralphio and Mona-Lisa, Hahn's character Jennifer Barkley on Parks is one of the love-to-hate-to-love-iest people on the show. Who else could hold Leslie Knope's face in her hands and say that she's telling her the truth because "I don't care enough about you to lie"? However, she knows how lucky she is to be able to drop in on such a great ensemble. "I just think they have such an unbelievable chemistry, all of them," she says. "Every performer is so talented and the writers write so perfectly to their strengths. And I think Amy Poehler is just the tops. She's one of my favorite human beings on the planet and she creates such a gorgeous, generous, playful, safe vibe."
Fact 3: Hahn is as much a fan of ensembles as she is good at appearing in them.
She's excellent at being a player in a big game (see the [slightly NSFW] Step Brothers supercut above), and she counts Parenthood, Almost Famous, and The Big Chill among her favorite ensemble flicks. "I love the scale of [The Big Chill], I love the scope of it. Just the chemistry. I love that kind of ensemble."
Fact 4: In fact, her next movie used The Big Chill as a template.
In the ensemble dramedy This Is Where I Leave You, out in September, Hahn plays part of a Jewish family that has to confront its problems while fulfilling their father's final wish that they sit Shiva together after his passing. "We always talked about the template as The Big Chill. It feels similar. [It's got] that kind of tricky tone," she says. "It's this really functional family that is in a room trapped together to face each other for seven days."
Fact 5: She once thought Sean Lennon was a stage manager she worked with in college.
Ask Hahn if she gets recognized on the street, and it turns into a conversation about how some famous people are familiar in that "did we go to high school together?" way. "I did that with Sean Lennon once in New York; I literally saw him at a coffee shop and was like, 'I think he stage-managed a play at Northwestern,' which is where I went to undergrad," she says. "As I was walking up I was like, 'Oh, that's Sean Lennon.' So glad I didn't say anything."
Bonus: She's funny onscreen, and she's no slouch IRL either.
When WIRED hung out with Hahn at South By Southwest, the whole "Keep Austin Weird" thing came up and we asked if she'd seen anything particularly noteworthy. Her response: "I saw a pedicab and there was a woman who was riding it and she had on amazing high tube socks with stripes and the shortest shorts that you have ever seen. I was very excited for her future passengers; the view was probably incredible."
Bad Words is now in select theaters and opens wide on Friday.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Judge OKs settlement in BP Gulf class action suit
NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge has given final approval to BP's settlement with a bulk of businesses and individuals who lost money because of the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
BP PLC has estimated it will pay $7.8 billion to resolve economic and medical claims from more than 100,000 businesses and individuals hurt by the nation's worst offshore oil spill. The settlement has no cap; the company could end up paying more or less.
U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, who gave his preliminary approval in May, made it final in a 125-page ruling released Friday evening.
"None of the objections, whether filed on the objections docket or elsewhere, have shown the settlement to be anything other than fair, reasonable, and adequate," he wrote.
After Barbier's preliminary approval in May, thousands of people opted out of the settlement to pursue their cases individually. More than 1,700 changed their minds and asked to be added back in by a Dec. 15 deadline, Barbier said.
BP and attorneys for the plaintiffs who were part of the settlement said they were pleased.
"We believe the settlement, which avoids years of lengthy litigation, is good for the people, businesses and communities of the Gulf and is in the best interests of BP's stakeholders," company spokesman Scott Dean said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. "Today's decision by the Court is another important step forward for BP in meeting its commitment to economic and environmental restoration efforts in the Gulf and in eliminating legal risk facing the company."
A statement from plaintiffs' attorneys Steve Herman and Jim Roy praised the settlement program's administrator, Pat Juneau.
"This settlement has — and will continue to — bring the people and businesses of the Gulf the relief they deserve," the attorneys wrote.
The April 2010 blowout of BP's Macondo well triggered an explosion that killed 11 rig workers and spewed out more than 200 million gallons of oil, closing much of the Gulf for months to commercial and recreational fishing and shrimping.
There is still a lot of litigation left, including a trial to identify the causes of BP's blowout and assign percentages of fault to the companies involved, Barbier wrote. That trial is scheduled next year.
The agreement covers people and businesses in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and some coastal counties in eastern Texas and western Florida, and in adjacent Gulf waters and bays.
"This is a positive development, but my focus remains on holding BP and the other defendants accountable for the extraordinary economic and environmental damage inflicted on Alabama," said Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange in a statement. "I look forward to going to trial in February."
Barbier said the settlement averts worries that litigation could continue for 15 to 20 years, as it did after the Exxon Valdez and Amoco Cadiz oil spills, creating a secondary disaster for those affected.
Barbier has not ruled on a medical settlement for cleanup workers and others who say exposure to oil or dispersants made them sick.
BP has already begun paying claims before the law required it, and is doing so "in an impressive fashion," Barbier wrote. He said the claims center processed 4,500 claims a week in November and has authorized nearly $1.4 billion in payments, and BP also has paid about $405 million on nearly 16,000 claims during a transitional process that ended June 4.
Barbier noted that lawyers' fees won't come out of settlements: BP has agreed to pay them separately.
BP will pay $2.3 billion to cover seafood-related claims by commercial fishing vessel owners, captains and deckhands. That fund is the settlement's only limit, Barbier wrote. He said that it is about five times the average industry gross revenue from 2007 to 2009 and, according to evidence provided, more than 19 times the revenue the industry lost in 2010.
Still unresolved are environmental damage claims brought by the federal government and Gulf Coast states against BP and its partners on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, and claims against Switzerland-based rig owner Transocean Ltd., and Houston-based cement contractor Halliburton.
BP also has paid or agreed to pay settlements of:

Re: Sonic Move set!
Blood-Knight7 wrote:
Just No.
The moveset is good but Sonic is a horible choice. Shadow is just as bad. probably worse imo.
The reason why you don't see any Sonic threads is that people know its a silly idea.
I'm fully aware it's a silly idea. I also know most people wouldn't care for Sonic in the game. I literally just sat down and thought, "Hey, I wonder what Sonic's moves would be if he were in this game?" and started typing this up. It wasn't meant as anything serious.
Either way, I'm glad you like the move set.

Thats cool. I'm sorry then =).
I like Sonic as well too. It would be cool if he were in another Fighting Game though.
Re: Sonic Move set![ Edited ]
ItsLuigiTime wrote:
Forgive me if this has already been done before, but I don't think I've seen a Sonic move set on here yet. I think that needs to be remedied, wouldn't you say? Unlike Brawl, where Sonic only seems to have moves from the classic games, I wanted to incorporate moves from most of his recent games as well. I also took some inspiration from Sonic Battle, an obscure Sonic fighting game for the Game Boy Advance that had some pretty awesome moves.
Like in Brawl, Sonic would pretty much be the king of movement in PSASBR. He would be the fastest character in the game and could pretty much dominate the screen by running or boosting in either direction, or using his homing attack. As a consequence, though, his attacks would have a decreased knockback and generate less AP. However, I don't think that would make him any less fun to use.
Also, I apologize for borrowing some moves from Brawl-- some of them were still perfect for the move set.
✕/✕ + ✕
Jump/Double Jump (from Sonic Colors). Self-explanatory.
◻ + ◻ + ◻
Heavy Attack (from Sonic Battle). A simple combo.
↔ + ◻
Boost (from Sonic Generations). Sonic briefly quickly boosts across the screen, hitting opponents in his path.
↑ + ◻
Up Attack (from Sonic Battle). Sonic performs a backflip-kick that knocks opponents upward.
↓ + ◻ (Press ◻ repeatedly to charge)
Spin Dash. Sonic performs his trademark spin dash move from the 16-bit games. It works just as it does in those games.
◻ (Air)/↔ + ◻ (Air)
Homing Attack (from Sonic Generations). A crosshair appears on opponents and Sonic performs a lock-on, aerial attack on them. He can do this a maximum of three times in the air.
↑ + ◻ (Air)
Blue Tornado (from Sonic Heroes). Sonic circles around an opponent, briefly stunning him/her.
↓ + ◻ (Air)
Bounce Attack (from Sonic Adventure 2). Sonic uses the Bounce Ring to bounce repeatedly on the ground, both hitting opponents and reaching higher areas. He can do a maximum of three bounces at a time.
Fire Somersault (from Sonic Adventure 2). Sonic does a quick (and fiery) somersault into opponents.
↔ + △
Sliding Kick. Sonic performs a running slide into opponents. He backflips back onto his feet upon hitting them.
↑ + △
Spring Jump (from Super Smash Bros. Brawl). Sonic uses a spring to propel himself upward. Unlike in Brawl, however, opponents can be hit while launching upward, and Sonic uses a more modern spring (the one that makes the "Pwang!" sound) instead of the classic one. Sonic also does not launch as high.
↓ + △
Breakdance Kick (from Sonic the Hedgehog). Sonic performs a breakdance-style kick that deals with opponents in close proximity.
△ (Air)
Twirl Kick. Sonic does a twirling-in-place aerial kick. Similar to his Dash Attack move from Sonic Battle.
↔ + △ (Air)
Dash Kick. Sonic does an aerial kick while dashing diagonally toward the ground. Similar to PaRappa's move with his skateboard.
↑ + △ (Air)
Spin Kick (from Super Smash Bros. Brawl). Sonic performs an upward, spinning aerial kick.
↓ + △ (Air)
Stomp Kick (from Sonic Generations). Sonic stomps toward the ground with an aerial kick.
⚪/⚪ (Air)
Ring Toss (from Sonic Battle). Sonic tosses a ring into the air and then dashes toward its location in ball form, hitting opponents along the way.
↔ + ⚪/↔ + ⚪ (Air)
Chao Egg Toss. This one is sort of a joke move. Sonic tosses a chao egg at opponents as he would throw it in Sonic Adventure 2. A chao falls out, showing the "woozy" symbol on its head before disappearing.
↑ + ⚪/↑ + ⚪ (Air)
Rocket Launch (from Sonic Adventure). Sonic launches a rocket upward that hits opponents in its path.
↓ + ⚪/↓ + ⚪ (Air)
Blue Bomb (from Sonic Battle). Sonic plants/throws a blue bomb from Sonic Battle onto the ground that eventually explodes. Similar to Sweet Tooth's mine-laying move.
Level 1
Light Dash. A trail of rings appears, and Sonic says "Heh heh!" as he performs the Light Dash along the rings, killing any opponents in his path. Similar to Fat Princess's Level 1, but with a slightly longer range.
Level 2
Tornado Strike. Tails flies in on the Tornado and shoots at opponents with gunfire and missles.
Level 3
Night of the Werehog. Thought it was going to be Super Sonic? Nope, that's for Brawl. A scene like this plays as Sonic transforms into his Werehog form from Sonic Unleashed, and you are able to move around as him and kill opponents in one hit. The Werehog can dash, grab, and use his stretchy arms to punch. Somewhat similar to Kratos's Level 3. I think it makes more since, considering Sonic Unleashed was very prominent on both the PS2 and PS3.
So, what do you think so far? Let me know if there's anything I should add or change!
Dude stop letting people tell you he doesn't belong. Sonic does belong on this game. Sonic has had his games made on PS2, PSP and PS3. Sonic is literallty an All Star for Nintendo and PS systems. I agree with all but 2 1/2 movesets. Most of these ppl just played Sonic games on the nintendo systems and dont know Sonic that well.
Blue Tornado wouldn't fit in this 2d type of game. I'd go with Sonic Wind from Sonic Adv 2.
For Light dash being Lvl 1, you choose it well. My idea of it though is that especially since its level 1, he can only use it in 2 directions, left and right. Rings appear in the direction he's looking in and he does his dash. If anybody is between the line of rings, they get K'O. A unique thing about this move is it can be used in the air.
Lvl 3. Im sorry man, but it has to be Super Sonic. Look it can easily be changed up, instead of Sonic actually just raming people, he can actually have a power that he can only use in Super Sonic form, you see what im saying. Perfect example is Light Jak. Super Sonic can use Choas Control from SA2. The way choas control works is, its not going to be Sonic teleporting, its going to be Sonic teleporting the enemy using CC, the same exact way he and Shadow did for that Biohazard or whatever it was in space they both used CC on(SA2). Im not going to lie, but that idea is sick.
Re: Sonic Move set!
I disagree with everyone who says Sonic does not belong in this game. About the only way to GUARANTEE I buy this game [or any other] is to include Sonic. Considering the fact that this is a Mash-Up game with characters from all over, and Sonic has several games out for the Playstation, he has every right to stand alongside everyone else. I thank you personally for speculating about his moveset, and I hope that somebody somewhere listens when we Sonic fans stand up and declare our love for this spikey blue wonder.

I want to let you know that we will be reopening the M&G Property Portfolio, our open-ended commercial property fund, on 4 November. As most of you will know, we suspended trading in the fund on 4 July, when there was a lot of uncertainty in the commercial property market following the EU referendum. Suspending the fund wasn't a decision we took lightly, but we felt that it was in the best interests of investors to do so, in these very unusual circumstances. Many of our peers with similar funds took the same decision.
So what has changed over the last four months? In late June and July, in the immediate aftermath of the referendum, it was difficult to value commercial properties accurately, as few transactions were taking place in the market. Property-owners were forced to accept substantial discounts if they wanted to sell. We believed the best course of action was to be patient, give the market time to settle down, and to increase the amount of cash in our fund gradually, through selling mostly lesser quality assets at sensible prices. And that is what our fund manager, Fiona Rowley, has done.
As confidence has improved in the property market over the last four months, Fiona has successfully sold several properties, at price levels very close to what they would have been before the referendum. Those sales have raised cash levels to a point where we can reopen the fund. Fiona's patience has also allowed her to choose carefully which assets to sell. She has kept prime assets in the portfolio – high quality properties which she believes are less risky in times of uncertainty - and has instead sold mostly lesser quality assets, which carried greater risk. The result is a portfolio which is in a good position to cope with any further volatility we might see, and it's our belief that the re-opening of the fund, at this point, is in the best interests of investors.
On behalf of Fiona and all of us at M&G, thank you all for your patience over the last four months.

Palak a.k.a Gurpreet Kaur had already done a song "Bhootni ke…" in Singh Is King before Roadies happened to her but she got much (un)desired recognition in Roadies 6.0. Not-so-happy with her controversial image on the show, she denies to acknowledge roadies as turning point in her career, in fact she jogs our memory to a song in Singh Is King. Well Palak we would suggest - throw no stones into the well whence you have drunk.
She reacts quirkily when asked about the recent allegations made by Tamanna, her co-contestant in MTV Roadies, she said, "Sabko pata hai kaun sahi hai aur kaun galat hai. She is nobody to pass the judgment…"

New Book Offers Context, Applications for Electrical Engineering Classes
Seventeen years ago, professor of electrical engineering Roman Kuc wrote a book that soon became a standard text for introductory electrical engineering courses—despite the fact that he never intended it to be used that way. His latest book, Electrical Engineering in Context: Smart Devices, Robots, & Communications, goes beyond that earlier book, completely reimagining the text to show electrical engineers how the technology we use on a daily basis, such as our smart phones, is an extension of fundamental electrical engineering concepts.
The new book began as a revision and significant expansion of Kuc's Digital Information Age. "That earlier book was based on a course I taught here at Yale that had 800 students in one term, the largest course at Yale," he says. "So naturally, I wrote the book intending it for non-science majors. But what happened is the book came out, and professors across the country—at Columbia, at Princeton, at the University of Illinois—started using it as part of the electrical engineering curriculum. Which was embarrassing because it was not intended as an electrical engineering text!"
But Kuc understood the appeal. In his course and in others based on his text, students and professors had fun using the book, and the students could immediately apply what they learned about electrical engineering to real-world technologies. "The professors would be able to say here's a barcode, here's how you do encryption, here's how you serve multiple users simultaneously—and then they'd talk about orthogonal signals," he says. "The context gave you a reason to talk about the science."
With so many advancements since its original publication, Kuc's publisher decided to issue an updated second edition of Digital Information Age, with changes that would reflect how the book was being used. For example, while reviewers praised the book's format, they wanted more theory and concepts, such as discussions of Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's law, spectral FFT, and sensors and actuators. "And I put these things in," says Kuc, "and all of a sudden this book started growing from 200 pages to more than 500 pages. Then I said OK, now this is an introductory electrical engineering textbook. It's a whole new book, something unexpected."
Electrical Engineering in Context, however, keeps the practically and application by integrating MATLAB projects throughout that enable engineering students to pursue their own interests. "So you still learn by doing, by participating in the design process," he says.
And for faculty who do use Digital Information Age in classes for non-science majors? Kuc says not to worry as the planned second edition is still coming out this spring, with exercises that use Excel instead of MATLAB. "My heart is still for the non-science majors," Kuc says. "Everyone needs to know about technology today."

In Praise of Bernie Fuchs
I am late getting to this. In recent days I've appreciated the work of others, notably David Apatoff, in celebrating the life of Bernie Fuchs, a paradoxically famous but unknown illustrator whose work in the 1960s and 70s established a look characterized by light touch and grace. (I say famous but unknown because those in the field knew him as a major figure, but the shrinkage and slippage of periodical illustration after 1950 cost him a broader public following of the sort enjoyed by major illustrators from the first half of the century.) Mr. Fuchs died late last week. Today's New York Times runs an obituary by Steven Heller.
I remember Bernie Fuchs' work in Sports Illustrated from my youth. I didn't really get a fix on the person or the profession; I just looked at the pictures and thought they were cool. Fuchs did a lot of golf work for SI, as his investment in light and gift for pacing (inside a single image!) made him a natural. His work will always make me think of my Dad, a serious golfer at the height of his powers when Bernie was, too.
On a different sort of personal note, I am eager to celebrate Bernie's achievement as a favorite son of Washington University in St. Louis, where I teach. I had the pleasure of meeting Bernie and his wife Babe when they came to campus in 2001 for the Al Parker symposium.
My wife Lori interviewed Bernie at the time. I have rummaged around and found a transcript of that interview, which includes a wonderful anecdote about Bernie meeting Al, who had been a hero of his. I will post snatches of that transcript this weekend when I have some time.
I raise my glass to Bernie Fuchs. I see him strolling up a light-soaked fairway toward the last green, smiling.
Images: Bernie Fuchs Sports Illustrated covers, from 1961, 1970 and 1974, respectively. I bet he wasn't very happy about that horsey red spot they stuck on his Masters cover from 1961!

Great post, Doug. Bernie will forever be an inspiration - his warmth and kind spirit came through so well in his illustrations, so even for those of us who never met him we at least feel like we knew him in some way.

- David Apatoff said...
Hi DB-- excellent post. Yes, it is a sad day for lovers of illustration and lovers of art and even, I think, admirers of human accomplishment. Bernie overcame so much to go so far-- it's hard to think of how a person could have used their years more fully. He was painting right up to the end.
You make a good point about Washington U. You guys gave the world Al Parker, and you gave the world Bernie Fuchs. Can you give us the inside scoop on who is next in line?
- September 23, 2009 at 3:41 AM
- John Hendrix said...
David, don't forget Mr. Jack Unruh!
Illustration has lost Geoffrey Grahn, T. Merton and Fuchs all in the last few months.
- September 23, 2009 at 2:39 PM
- DB Dowd said...
Unruh and Hendrix. (The latter case a difference in category, not institution. Teaches at, not studied at)
- September 23, 2009 at 11:23 PM

John, I didn't know about Jack Unruh, but I certainly love his work. Is there something in the water there? Or is it the superb faculty?

PUMA Re-Cut Project Upcycles Denim into New Shoes
A new line of shoes from PUMA is combining upcycling with social good, by turning leftover denim scraps into new shoes and giving 100% of the profits from the sales of those shoes to an orphanage in Vietnam.
The PUMA Re-Cut project, which is part of the company's Closing the Loop initiative, takes leftover denim from a nearby denim manufacturer (these denim scraps are used to test the shrinkage and color of the fabric), and uses it to sew uppers for a line of casual sneakers.
"PUMA is dedicated to creating products that work towards the closed-loop model and have a lower impact on the environment. Initiatives such as the Re-Cut Project are a demonstration of how this can be achieved while benefiting a local community." – PUMAVision Program Manager Justin DeKoszmovszky
The profits from the sales of these Re-Cut shoes will all go toward the Be Pho Orphanage, which is located near the PUMA office near Ho Chi Minh City, and underwrite medical, nutritional, and recreational needs of the orphans who live at the facility.
Learn more about the PUMA Re-Cut Project.

Apr 19, 2012 at 2:06 pm #1288926
I'm planning ~40 day, solo, hiking/packrafting/horse riding trip in Western Mongolia (Altai) and Russia (since it is not possible to get Mongolia visa for more than 30 days without visiting Ulaanbaatar). I'm starting on 8th of June and end on 17th of Junly – plane from Warsaw (Poland) to Barnaul (Russia).
I was thinking either about 2 x shorter loops (~500 km-600 km each since I have a limit of 30 days for whole Mongolian trip) or one longer route ~900-1000 km. Additionally I would like to hike in the Tavan Bogd and get to the top of Malchin Peak.
Direct link to route – for Google Earth – if I choose the latter option the route will be extended so that I'll hike a bit more near Chinese border.
Could you please comment on planned route & possible problems when trying to get by bus/hitchhiking from Barnaul to Olgii?
In Russia I will have transit visa and ~5-6 days to spare in the mountains – maybe someone could recommend nice rivers & mountain ranges there? I've been told that Aktash area is extremely beautiful and the Chuya river seems really great. I was thinking to flow it a bit, but probably can't go on sth harder than WWIII. Maybe there is some nice valley to hike from the M52 road and than float back on packraft?
Direct link to gearlist – I will appreciate any comments about gear taken. I was thinking about bringing in some synthetic pants – namely Montbell Thermawraps – as the weather can turn to minus digits (Celcius) and some snowfall can be expected up in the mountains. The problem is that day min and max temperature may differ by 25-30 degrees…
Hope to get some feedback from you.Apr 19, 2012 at 5:19 pm #1869185

Here is an article that appeared to today about the number of expats in China who have to leave the country to renew their visas.
Zhuzhou Families
A Popular Side Trip for Foreigners in China: Visa Runs
Every Few Months, Expats Dash Out to Renew Papers; Guard's Harvard Question
By BOB DAVIS
The Wall Street Journal
• Updated April 18, 2012, 8:40 a.m. ET
ERLIAN, China—Lisa Guetzkow, a 25-year-old American, is crossing the dusty border from China to Mongolia crammed into the front seat of an ancient Russian jeep that has a scarf for an inside door handle. She's making a visa run. If it works out, she'll be able to stay another three months in Beijing, until she has to dart across the Chinese border again.
Beijing and other Chinese cities are magnets for young expats in the way that Paris was after World War I and Prague was after the Cold War. The dollar is still strong, jobs are plentiful and the bar scene vibrant. "It's not hard to teach English in China," says James Schiffer, a 25-year-old Oregonian, who returned home last year after three years in China. "If you have a white face and a pulse, you can get a job."
Many of the 20-somethings either have tourist or business-meeting visas that are good for a year, but require holders to leave the country every two or three months to be renewed—a requirement aimed at preventing visitors from settling down and taking jobs without the proper work visa. To get around that, young people make dashes to the border before their visas are set to expire, sometimes spending just enough time to get a foreign stamp in their passport before heading back to China.
Russian and Eastern European models have especially tough times on the border, say visa specialists in China, because the guards suspect they may be prostitutes. The models generally have tourist visas and can't admit they are working, so many say they want to get back to China to spend time with long-term boyfriends.
Andy Parker, a British male model in Asia, says some of his female colleagues dress to the nines to impress the border guards that they have high-powered and well-connected Chinese boyfriends. But a Polish model in Beijing, who asked that her name not be used, says her agency gives the opposite advice: Dress down in jeans, plain tops and no makeup. "Look like a student," she says.
One 29-year-old Californian who teaches social studies in southwestern China has taken 10-hour bus rides to the Laotian border and eight-hour trips to Vietnam for visa runs. Laid-back Laos is a snap, he says, but re-entering China from Vietnam can be a hassle.
Some visa runners have had their China guidebooks confiscated if the books have maps that mark Taiwan as a separate country rather than a province of China, he says. And during one crossing, a border guard grilled him about what college he attended. "Harvard," he answered. Is Harvard's president male or female, he says the guard demanded to know.
The teacher says he guessed male but the border guard knew better. Drew Faust had become Harvard's first female president. He explained he was thinking of the years he went to college, an answer that earned him entry back into China.
Some try to avoid the hassle of a border run altogether by turning to visa agents who claim they have enough clout with local governments to get visa renewals or fresh visas for fees ranging from about $450 to $2,000.
One visa agent, who goes by the name of Peter, requires customers to check into a hotel with other expats and hand over their passports and other paperwork. Later he walks his customers through a local police station that handles visas and gets them the necessary stamps.
Mr. Schiffer, the Oregon native, was a customer of Peter's when he sought a new visa. "Overall the entire experience reminded me of weed runs I would go on with friends back in the States," he says.
Reached by phone, Peter wouldn't give his last name. He also wouldn't explain his techniques. "That's the whole point of my business," he said. "How can I tell you about that?"
China's Public Security Bureau, which handles visas, didn't comment on specific questions about visa runs, except to cite Chinese regulations.
Ms. Guetzkow, the 25-year-old American, chose Mongolia for her visa run because it was cheap and seemed romantic. She passed up the cheapest way to get to the border—a $40 overnight bus where 40 passengers sleep in submarine-tight quarters—in favor of a $55 morning flight. Her destination was Erlian, a Chinese border city, whose main road is decorated with green statues of dinosaurs in honor of dinosaur bones found nearby.
The border scene is chaotic. Drivers rev the motors of their beat-up vehicles, shouting in Chinese and Mongol for passengers to board for a 300-yard drive to the Chinese immigration center and then another few miles to the Mongolian equivalent. Travel blogs warn some drivers will stop halfway between the two buildings and extort expats to pay twice the usual 50 yuan fee ($8) to continue, but Ms. Guetzkow made it to the other side with no problem, happy she now had a Mongolian stamp in her passport.
She had hoped to ride a horse in the Mongolian city of Zamiin-Uud on the border. But the achingly poor town doesn't appear to have a blade of grass—the dust next to the sidewalks is four inches thick—let alone a horse, although a yak wanders by. She settles for a photo of herself in front of a tree whose limbs are wrapped in blue scarves.
When it is time for the return trip to Erlian, she manages to convince a jeep driver to take her and a traveling companion for 70 yuan, instead of the usual 100. But at the Mongolian checkpoint, the driver has second thoughts, pulls a U-turn and heads back to Zamiin-Uud. "180 yuan," he demands.
No deal, says Ms. Guetzkow, who then spends an hour looking for someone to take her and her companion for the usual 100. Word had spread instantly that 180 was the new normal.
Eventually, a female taxi driver agrees to ferry the pair for the usual price, and Ms. Guetzkow gets the stamp in her visa that entitles her to spend another three months in China. For her next visa run, she's going upscale. She plans to go to South Korea and spend time on a resort island there.

@thegreatclodLocale: Northeast, East Asia
I can't access your planned route or gear list via the links you provided, but a few things:
1. A sufficient amount of insect repellant is going to be critical if you'll be spending any amount of time in the grasslands of Mongolia in late spring or summer. Plan more than 2 strategies for dealing with bugs in that part of the world. It gets hot on the steppe and its a perfect breeding ground for insects.
2. Because of diplomatic treaties, I believe U.S. citizens are freely given a visa to enter Mongolia, even when fresh off the plane without prior arrangements. If you're a US citizen, you might look into the diplomatic arrangements that may be of help here.
3. Do you speak any Russian, Mongolian, or Chinese? Strong English skills are rare in that part of the world, which can lead to some very frustrating and confusing situations if you don't have some language skills.
4. Read, read, read up on proper cultural etiquette of the Mongolian people, especially if you think you may avail yourself of local hospitality. Mongols are tremendously generous hosts, but there is a proper protocol to follow and you should make every effort to understand how to be a good guest. You also may want to acquaint yourself with the impact a Mongolian diet closely tied to advanced animal husbandry may have on your digestive system.
5. Safety should always be your primary concern. Have a plan in case you're injured. Keep your money locked down. Consider how you might handle situations where you might be asked for "tolls" "bribes" "taxes" etc. Consider how you might handle situations where you are robbed. Such things most likely won't happen to you, but be sure to have an idea of how you will deal with such things should they come up.
6. Do make sure you take reliable gear with you on this trip. It will be difficult and exorbitantly expensive to replace/obtain gear when your there.
Just some thoughts…Apr 21, 2012 at 12:17 pm #1869679
1a. Files – any problems with entering the website? Should I try to upload them somewhere else?
1b. OK. Checked – repellent + head net. I found this to be enough for sleeping. Windshirt/windpants should work fine against mosquitos.
2. I am Polish citizen – applying for visa is compulsory for me. Getting extended Mongolian visa is not a problem unless I visit Ulaanbaatar (which I do not intend to do – too much hassle to get from there to Olgii etc.).
3. I do not – only Polish, English and German. However, I have contacted local guide to (i) get needed permits (namely for national parks and border area), (ii) receive some pieces of information about local conditions etc. and (iii) arrange things like transport/hostel/supply post in advance.
4. Checked.
5. Checked.
6. Checked.
Thanks for some food for thought!Jun 3, 2012 at 3:01 pm #1883629
Hello again,
Final route – for Google Earth – ~1000 km, around 50/50 hiking/packrafting.
Direct link to gearlist – probably I will add Mont-bell Thermawrap Pants.
Hope to get some comments/feedback from you regarding gearlist/route.
https://picasaweb.google.com/rzez.immi/PrzygotowaniaMongolia2012 – photos from this weekend's preparations – mainly meals/some gear modifications.Jul 6, 2012 at 4:11 am #1892566
Small changes made in the planned route on the spot. Mixed route, ~450 km covered on packraft (up to around WW III/+), ~550 km on foot. No support, no resupply. Done it in 19 days. Some photos can be found below. Hope to prepare some kind of trip report. Mongolia seems to be a perfect place for mixed hiking/rafting trip.
Initial photos – more to be uploaded within 2 weeks.Jul 6, 2012 at 10:29 am #1892622

Welcome back, Marcel.
A stellar expedition in fine style.
I love the shot of the little unexpected visitors. That alone makes me want to travel to Mongolia. Quite a contrast with the screaming kids you see in a U.S. Wal-Mart these days.Jul 10, 2012 at 1:03 pm #1893712
Thanks :) To be honest, I was inspired by Arctic1000, but wanted something a bit more remote than Scandinavia.
Photos from the trip – there may be few photos more, but I'm not still sure about them (+ I do not have more space available on Picasa:). Some examples below:
Route in Google Earth – used for estimate calculation of the distance. Not sure, but I think that the actual distance is 10-15% longer (in reality one never walks/packrafts on straight lines). What's your opinion?Jul 12, 2012 at 5:00 pm #1894390

A fait accompli!
So, a box of books arrived today. THE book. Yes, the one at right. Finished, done, finit. Why did I like it so much more while I was working on it, and the possibilities were infinite?
Here are the endpapers the way I painted them. To see how differently they were printed, you'll have to get your hands on a copy of the book.
