On the Rocks
'Arrr! How be ye?' growls one pirate to another. 'Good - I mean, I be good!' replies the second pirate. He has just arrived at the Festival de Piratas, and he hasn't quite gotten into character yet, although he is dressed in full high-seas regalia.
Not sure what to expect, I've dressed cautiously, in a striped T-shirt and rolled-up jeans, with an eye patch in reserve. I was worried that if I dressed up too much, I'd look like a dork. That, it turns out, would not be a problem.
In the warm twilight last Saturday night, grown men are standing outside Sabala's at Mount Tabor Theater in admirals' hats trimmed with feathers, in long coats and high boots, their weapons at their sides. Daggers, truncheons and old-fashioned pistols are all in fashion tonight. 'I like that weapons are accepted and encouraged at our shows,' says Loren Hoskins, known in these parts as Captain Bogg.
These are strange words, perhaps, from a man who's best known as a children's entertainer. Hoskins' band, Captain Bogg and Salty, plays schools and libraries, and a recent show filled the Aladdin Theater with fans of all ages.
I think part of their success is due to the fact that when kids ask to be taken to a Captain Bogg and Salty show, their parents are more than happy to oblige. Taking the pirate theme way over the top, the band is hilarious, and the music is catchy - imagine what would happen if the Partridge Family were shanghaied.
Tonight is, among other things, the launch party for Captain Bogg and Salty's third album, 'Prelude to Mutiny.' It's also the bands' seventh annual pirate festival, a chance to unwind in a 21-and-over setting and, in Hoskins' words, 'drink some grog.'
The Mount Tabor Theater's big auditorium is filling up, and Captain Bogg gives me a partial rundown on the various pirate looks. There's pirate punk, which favors the skull-and-crossbones motif. There are gentlemanly pirates, ragged pirates and even a dead pirate, wrapped in fishnet.
There are women in laced-up bodices and striped socks, and one woman dressed as a Viking. There are people in elaborate, custom-made ensembles, and others in foam-rubber pirate hats they must have bought at the party store on their way over. 'Somewhere around the third festival,' Hoskins says, 'it started to become obvious that you felt dumb if you weren't dressed up, instead of the other way around.'
Broadside Johnny takes the stage, with a concertina and chest-full of singalong sea chanteys. He's followed by the Ben Gunn Society, a Los Angeles band that is named for a character in the Robert Louis Stevenson classic 'Treasure Island' and features a female pirate belly dancer.
This pirate thing is big, and it's still picking up steam. Captain Bogg and Salty predate the 2003 movie 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' but the film certainly put wind in its sails. Now there's a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' sequel opening July 7, and coming this fall, Portland's first full-tilt outdoor pirate festival, Sept. 23 at Cathedral Park.
I can only wonder what our seafaring ancestors would think of this trend. Imagine traveling into the future to find children dressed up as gangsters, dancing to songs about carjacking.
Not that anyone here is actually planning to commandeer a frigate anytime soon - as far as I know. A swarthy rapscallion named Shuhe, aka Luc the Lucky, belongs to a society called the Brotherhood of Oceanic Mercenaries, which owns a set of custom-made cannons. They'll be staging a sea-to-shore battle at Cathedral Park, and if you heard their guns during the Rose Festival, you know the true meaning of 'shiver me timbers.'
Broadside Johnny also admits to having a bit of mischief up his ragged sleeve. 'It's not about the clothes,' he says. 'It's about what's in me mind - I see a lot of possibilities here,' he adds, looking around the room.
'What are you going to do?' I ask. 'Rob people?'
'Not of their money, no,' he answers. 'Maybe of their dignity and self-respect, if they've been foolish enough to bring any with them tonight.'
Clearly, this adult pirate party isn't meant to be more dignified than a children's pirate party, just later at night and with more Pabst Blue Ribbon. 'We don't care about trying to be cool,' Hoskins explains. 'I mean, if you're dressed like a pirate and you come up and go, 'Yar!' cool is out the window anyway. We're real silly, and I think that transfers.'
Later, up on stage, Hoskins shows us how to make the sign of the pirate: raise your forefinger, then bend it down into a hook shape. The band launches into a power ballad about a sea monster, and the whole crowd - down to the last rogue, scalawag and blackguard among them - sways back and forth, hook-fingers raised in pirate salute.

City in a Landscape
Unknown artist, Indian
City in a Landscape, ca. 1600-1625
Ink and color on paper
Image: 8.3 x 10.2 cm (3 1/4 x 4 inches)
Museum Appropriation Fund 17.457
In the early sixteenth century, the Turko-Mongolians of Fergana, Central Asia, conquered much of northern India and established the Mughal Dynasty. In 1580, Emperor Akbar (reign 1556—1605) received an embassy of Jesuits. The artwork they brought began a lively cultural exchange. This drawing reflects devices adapted by the Mughals from European art: greater emphasis on mass; shading to render modeled forms; and more convincing recession of architectural and landscape elements through perspective, color, and line. The city in a landscape combines Islamic and European architecture with the native domed Hindu and Buddhist shrines of northern India. Fusing these formal and architectural elements with Mughal painterly and pictorial conventions, such as the expressive rock forms, the artist created a distinctive mode of representation.

The first ever winner of the Goldsmiths Prize also scooped the Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction last night (June 4).
Debut author Eimear McBride beat literary heavyweights such as Donna Tartt for her book, A Girl is a Half-formed Thing.
The novel – which took a decade to get published – was inspired by her experience of nursing her brother who suffered a brain tumour.
After many years of rejection, the book was picked up by independent publishers Galley Beggar Press and was thrust into the spotlight when Eimear won the Goldsmiths Prize last November.
The 37-year-old spoke to News Shopper after she won the award at the New Cross-based university about how difficult it was to find a publisher.
She said: "It only took six months to write but I spent around nine or ten years trying to get a publisher.
"Most said it was too difficult and not populist enough.
"My biggest tip for budding writers is discipline."
She said the prize was "imaginative" and "nothing less than I would expect from Goldsmiths".
The university, which runs a busy schedule of events from its Writers' Centre, headed by Blake Morrison, was also praised by the publishers last night for recognising the novel's potential so early on.
They tweeted from their @GalleyBeggars account, after the announcement of the Baileys Prize at the Royal Festival Hall: "Huge thanks too, to @GoldsmithsPrize - who recognised A Girl for the gem it is and has given prizes a push back in the right direction."
Baileys Prize chair of judges Helen Fraser said: "This is an extraordinary new voice – this novel will move and astonish the reader."
The shortlist also included Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for Americanah, Hannah Kent for Burial Rites, Jhumpa Lahiri for The Lowland, Audrey Magee for The Undertaking, and Donna Tartt for The Goldfinch.
Eimear is now working on her second novel.

The vegetable that eats like a fruit. I think rhubarb is going to be a new staple for me.. one of those things you just don't normally think about. The easiest rhubarb is what I call rhubarb pudding.
Trim and cut rhubarb in 1/2 inch slices. Throw it in a saucepan with a little water and sweetener(s) of your choice. Boil/simmer stirring occasionally until the rhubarb completely falls apart. If you have a low carb thickener you can use it (I used Xanthan Gum) - if not using a thickener go real easy on the water. I won't give any measurements cuz it's not a measuring type of thing - some like it very sweet but I know at least one person who uses no sweetener at all. I just taste the stuff from time to time while cooking and adjust the sweet to my taste. I used enough water to barely cover the rhubarb but you can also use as little as 1/4 cup of water. Let cool enough so you don't burn your tongue.
Whip up some heavy whipping cream with a little vanilla and a little sweetener to put on top and there you go!
The "Rhubarb Pudding" can also be used as a sauce.. maybe on some CrabSmart Vanilla Ice Cream. :D
Carb count depends on the sweetener and thickener.. Rhubarb itself is 4 carbs per 2/3 C and 2 carbs are fiber so 2 NET carbs.
Vicky - I learned something from your post today. I didn't know that rhubarb is a vegetable. We've lived in the same house for many, many years and carefully tend our "rhubarb patch". It is the one thing in the garden that is quite forgiving if we don't get enough rain and wild critters usually leave it alone.
My Mother has made something similar to your rhubarb pudding many times. My Grandmother always called rhubarb her "Spring tonic" (because if you eat too much of it - Mother Nature will definitely let you know :).
I really don't know rhubarb. Maybe because it won't grow in the deep South, but my g'mother in S. Dak. used to make a rhubarb pie that I liked, altho' I've never been a sweet eater to speak of, but now after learning it is a vegetable, I may try to find some one day soon!
Rhubarb is wonderful stuff - we've tried to grow it with really mixed results. I try to be careful of it since it's really high oxalate (attn: kidney stone sufferers like me), but it makes the most delicious crisps & crumbles & jams & puddings! Aarrgghh . . . I need a rhubarb fix - RIGHT NOW! :D
Our rhubarb is about ready to harvest and we have a ton of it. When we were home last summer we bought some strawberry rhubarb butter...mmmm good... Of course hubby got to finish it off... He wants to try to make a sugar free version this year
Let us know how he does it because that sounds really yummy! Was it a spread and if so, how did you use it?
I googled it... it's pretty much the same as my original post. Add mashed raw strawberries before cooking, use no water, then it's canned in glass jars. You can add vanilla if you choose. Any recipe would work, just replace the sugar with sweetener.
Sounds lovely...and yes, I used to eat apple butter and loved it. Since I'm a no carb b'fast eater, maybe it would be a good supper treat! Now to find some rhubarb! :)

Also see "bug" #1926.
Weapon models since OFP have had a standard magazine modeled onto them. This works wonders when a weapon only takes one kind of magazine, but makes for a bit of silliness when weapons can take multiple magazine types (e.g. a C-mag attached to a G36 appears as a 30 round epoxy mag, or a 30 round stanag on an Australian F89 appears as a 100-round bag).
Future iterations of the ArmA 2 engine should have magazines appearing as a proxy within the weapon P3D. I imagine that points can be defined within the weapon memory LOD to define where the magazine attaches to the weapon.
It would be great to see this introduced in the future; imagine, you could even choose between an orange fibreglass or black plastic AK74 magazine! Wow! /sarcasm.
It would also be nice to see the relevant weapon performance characteristics based upon magazine (and by extension bullet fired) rather than the weapon. This would allow the simulation of different ammunition ballistics, for example, match ammo vs. standard, AP vs. HE-IT, SABOT vs. HEAT. All of these examples, if my memory serves, are currently not possible, because ballistic performance is currently defined by weapon, not ammunition (magazine).

What I'm referring to here, for those I've just confused, are things like muzzle velocity, rather than damage.

Nice one!
Like one clearly can see with the related tickets, the whole weapon handling in the engine, based still from OFP1, is absolutely antiquated and needs strongly a overhaul.
I hope this is a field BIS will look into, before they brought out the last Product of the series....

Version does not matter for features.
It is always assumed valid for the latest if not resolved/closed.
Updated by BigDawgKS almost 7 years ago
I just want to add that this feature, if implemented, could be used as much better alternative to the still very limited modelSpecial command, and with the addition of fixing/adding animation controllers on launcher weapons (isEmpty in this case, see #12244), could allow more variety in RPG-7 like weapons (ex: any combination of launhcer and warhead model).

need help badly 1951 ford custom
ok i am stuck i haven't worked on my car for ages because of this problem. i could use some advise to help me get my project back on track.
ok here is the problem, one day when i was pulling the car back into the garage after i was out for a cruze the bolts that hold the steering box onto the frame snapped...there was only one bolt holding it onto the frame when i got it into the garage so pulled the motor and took off the fenders and have the whole front end exposed so i could work around the problem more easily.. but i have no idea where to go from there... should i drill out the broken bolts and chase the threads and put in new bolts and replace all of the front suspension parts. i was also debating if i should just chop off the front end and put on a fatman fab front stub so i could get disk brakes and power steering ect ect. but the amount of money that that involves. if i just fixed the suspension i was also thinking about putting in a 350 Chevy but that is just the block so far so i have to build it. i have the flathead v8 also but that too needs to be rebuilt. so i am stuck with what motor should i put in. i am going to change the tranny to an automatic because i am the only one in my family that can drive a stick and i would like my parents to enjoy this car somewhat even though its my baby. i know that this is alot of rambling but i am just stuck at the moment so any and all help will be greatly appreciated
At your young age ... you have time on your side ... so I would plan ahead and then make progress as time and funds $$$ allow.
I had a 51 Ford many years ago and as I remember ... it drove fairly decent ... A SBC and automatic would make the car a LOT easier to drive and should be more FUN. I believe I would remove the bolts and try to find a good steering box ( or use yours ... if good ) ... and then adapt the SBC and automatic ...
A complete suspension change may be a little ambitious for a 17 year old unless you have someone with a decent amount of experience helping you. I know my welding skills at 17 left a LOT to be desired ...
Deuce ...
Sounds like you are 17 and letting all this overwhelm you. You don't have a lot of money but your steering box bolts broke, you would like disc brakes on your front end, you have a tired flathead, you think you may like a 350 Chevy and you would like to switch to an automatic transmission. And to top everything off your car is torn apart and you can not drive it which at 17 is your biggest problem. I can see why you are stuck. Lets take a look at each problem and solve it.
You don't have a lot of money. OK, so do the cheapest things you can so you can get your car back on the road and you can drive your baby. That means fixing your steering box. Drill out the broken bolts and chase the threads and bolt your box back on.
As you have the fenders off and the flathead out now would be a good time to take a look at your front suspension. If you don't have the money for a front suspension conversion put that on the back burner for now. If you have enough money rebuild your stock front end including the brakes.
Engine - your flathead is tired but it is still running. Put it back in and replace the front sheet metal and get your baby back on the road.
Now you have to prioritize your remaining changes. If you want a Chevy 350 and an automatic look for a donor car. You can sell your block and use the money towards the purchase price. Pull the engine and transmission and sell what you can to recoup your purchase price. Make sure to get a good running donor car so you will not have to do any work on the drive train. You can add the speed parts and dress it up later. When you do the swap your ride will not be down that long and you will be able to drive it again until you have enough money for a front suspension swap.
By doing these changes in little steps you will have the use of your car while you save up enough money to do the changes.
As some on the board said. Don't look at your project as one big project but a whole bunch of little ones.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your project.

Payment schedules
For new construction, what percentage should I expect to pay a plumber after ground work? rough-in? finish?
About the same as anyone else. 33% + 33 +33.
Then there is the 10% hold till everything passes inspection or the plumber flakes. This should be written in the contract for your well being. This doen't mean try to screw your plumber either. If the job is done to your satisfaction pay the man his money.
Thanks for the help. I think the hardest part of a contractor's job wouldn't be the work so much, but dealing with other people: subs who do poor work before you and make your job harder, or customers who try to get extra work for free or nitpick then don't pay or just don't pay. I'll try not to be that guy. Good luck to you.
For me it depends on the job and size of the job! But, for a new house I usually get 50% down upon acceptence of the contract, 25% after the rough inspection. The final 25% upon the final inspection. The reason I want to have a total of 75% of my money after the rough is because 80-85% of my work is done!, why should I only have 66% of my money? Also, if the homeowner decides to pull a fast one and bring in another plumber for the finish I would'nt take such a big hit or if they take a year to get ready for finish or run out of money ete,etc...
Plus the old 33%,33% and 33% was written by some old fashion lawyer and if you notice everybody loses 1% , now that is not a typical lawyer move is it?!http://www.diychatroom.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Event to raise money for the Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools slated Saturday, June 25
On a quiet May afternoon, a pair of hummingbirds fights over a birdfeeder in Noni and Arlin Inman's back yard on Bull Mountain as other birds chirp amid lush foliage and trees sprout their spring growth.
This is exactly the ambience the Inmans wanted to create when they hired garden designer Paul Taylor to transform their yard from the impractical layout left by their subdivision's contractor into one that takes advantage of the small space.
The Inmans' garden is one of eight that will be open for viewing during the Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools' annual Garden Tour set for Saturday, June 25.
The couple moved into the house from Southern California in September 2006 and within a month were making plans with Taylor, who recalled that the original back yard, which has a steep slope, had a small amount of grass and a few newly planted trees along with existing Douglas firs, a narrow 'Juliette' deck and stairs leading to a concrete pad.
'And it was all mud past the patch of lawn,' he added.
Taylor and the Inmans discussed various ideas and came up with the final plan, which included adding a large Trex deck on the lower level.
'We pretty much went with a native plant pallet,' Taylor said. 'I'm big into having something interesting during each of the four seasons. I'm into texture - not screaming color but interesting plants that attract birds.'
Noni Inman added, 'Coming from Southern California, we are still getting used to the plants and trees that grow here. One thing that is different is that we don't have to prune so much, so you don't have to be a slave to your garden.
'It's lovely to see it dormant in the winter and then come to life, and some plants keep their leaves all year round. The fir trees are a big bonus for giving us privacy plus shade on hot summer days - the only drawback is the sap.'
Taylor rattled off some of the additions to the garden - cotoneastera, parneyi, wax leaf myrtle, uwanamus, burning bushes and an Alaska weeping cedar.
'Another thing I like to do is create many usable 'rooms' in the yard - the upper deck is for cooking, and it connects to the kitchen and family rooms, and the lower deck is for eating and a seating area,' said Taylor, pointing out an arbor over the deck and a trellis in the lower yard that have been added.
The Inmans installed some benches, and Noni has picked up a number of garden art pieces that are on display around the yard.
Also growing in the back yard is a 'peanut butter tree that blooms in late fall and has sweet, delicate lines that help blur the sightline to the neighbors,' Taylor said.
In addition to learning about Northwest foliage, Inman has had to deal with wildlife.
'The first time I saw a banana slug, I didn't know what it was,' she said. 'In Southern California, the slugs have shells.'
In the lower yard, Taylor pointed out a low retaining wall that was added for soil stability next to a flagstone path that circles around the back yard and leads to a small patio in a corner.
'I like to create destinations in a yard,' said Taylor, and Inman added, 'We wouldn't have lived out here without the changes.'
Although the spaces along each side of the house are only a few feet wide, Taylor and Inman didn't let them go to waste.
The west side features hardy fuchsias, red-leaf pieris, lily of the valley, bishop's hat, salal and blue arctic willow, and the east side has ferns and huckleberries.
Along the street, the developer put in flowering pears as the street trees, and in the Inmans' yard, some of the lawn was removed, and a circle of plantings was added for more interest.
A strategically planted magnolia blocks the front door from the street, and a Japanese maple was relocated.
'I like 'blockage' - trees to block the view between driveways along the street,' Taylor said, and Inman added, 'It's perfect.'
In addition to bringing in medium-sized boulders, Taylor added wax leaf privet, black mondo grass, kinnicknick, another Alaska weeping cedar, spring bouquet, sarccocca hookereana, climbing hydrangea and witch hazel, 'which will give you fall color,' Taylor said.
'You'd never see that in Southern California,' Inman said. 'I love it.'
And she thanked Taylor for giving her an original garden that suits their interests and 'shabby chic' style, noting, 'Some designers make all their gardens look the same.'

One of the most important parts of a home based business in the Internet age is to have your own website. But once you have your website, you should be trying to increase traffic to it, because ultimately, the more traffic you have, the more people will choose your services and increase your bottom line. But there's a difference between quality traffic and quantity traffic and the following ideas will help you sort out that difference and help you benefit your home based business the most.
Start a blog
The single most effective strategy you can use to increase traffic to your online business on a daily basis is to start a blog. Ideally, you want to be blogging about something you are an expert and a professional in, so when people read your informative (or sometimes even entertaining) text, they will be convinced that you are qualified to deliver the services you are delivering. Starting a blog in your niche and regularly updating it (at least 2-3 times a week) is one of the best ways to drum up interest in your product.
Marketing your blog
Once you've started your blog, the next step is to market it effectively. You can employ a variety of strategies to get the readership you want, but ideally you should do as much of it as you can yourself at the beginning. When you create your blog entries, then make social links on sites such as Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest that you can share extremely easily with others. A lot of people also use some sort of an app that posts to a variety of platforms at the same time. There are apps, for instance, that will post a snipped of your text to a Faceb
ook or a Linkedin comment. You can also upload your blog post not just to your own blog but onto your Facebook notes. Furthermore, you can take the description of the webpage and submit it to Twitter, Reddit or Digg. Automate it as much as possible with an app to save time and people will share your content by themselves.
Creating quality not quantity
Another very important aspect of any blog is to create as high quality products as possible. By starting in your own niche, you will automatically have an advantage. But even if you have no writing skills, then don't shy away from blogging. You may need to hire a few writers to deliver your content, but this is still a lot better than not having content at all.

Homeland Security:
Federal and Industry Efforts Are Addressing Security Issues at Chemical Facilities, but Additional Action Is Needed

Terrorist attacks on chemical facilities could severely damage the U.S. economy and public health. About 15,000 facilities produce, use, or store large amounts of chemicals that pose the greatest risk to human health and the environment. While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) formerly had the lead role in federal efforts to ensure chemical facility security, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is now the lead federal agency responsible for coordinating government and private efforts to protect these facilities from terrorist attacks. This testimony is based on GAO's past work on chemical facility security and focuses on (1) the attractiveness of chemical facilities as terrorist targets, (2) their diversity and risks, (3) federal security requirements for these facilities, and (4) federal and industry efforts to improve facility security.
Experts agree that the nation's chemical facilities are attractive targets for terrorists. The theft or release of certain chemicals could disrupt the local economy, impact other critical infrastructures that rely on chemicals, or impact the health and safety of millions of Americans. For example, a 2002 Brookings Institution report ranks an attack on toxic chemical plants behind only biological and atomic attacks in terms of possible fatalities. While several efforts are underway, no one has yet comprehensively assessed security at the nation's chemical facilities. The chemical sector includes a variety of facilities and risks. The 15,000 facilities with large amounts of the most dangerous chemicals include chemical manufacturers, water supply facilities, and fertilizer facilities, among others. Some facilities may be at higher risk of a terrorist attack than others because of the specific chemicals on site and their proximity to population centers. According to 2003 EPA data, 123 U.S. chemical facilities had "worst-case" scenarios where more than one million people could be at risk of exposure to a cloud of toxic gas. While EPA and DHS believe that these scenarios overstate the potential consequences of a chemical release, there are situations where an attack could have potentially more severe consequences. Only about one-sixth of the 15,000 facilities with large amounts of dangerous chemicals are covered by federal security requirements. About 2,000 community water systems and 238 facilities that are located on waterways and handle "bulk liquid chemicals" must conduct vulnerability assessments, among other things, under the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Response Act of 2002 and the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, respectively. However, the federal government places requirements on chemical facilities to address accidental releases, which may also reduce the likelihood and mitigate the consequences of terrorist attacks. A number of federal and industry efforts are underway to enhance chemical facility security. DHS is developing a strategy to protect the chemical sector, identify high-risk facilities, and integrate chemical sector protection efforts into a national program. With no authority to require facilities to improve security, DHS has provided the industry with financial assistance, information, and training, assessed facility vulnerability, and recommended security improvements. About 1,100 facilities participate in a voluntary industry effort in which they assess vulnerabilities, develop security plans, and undergo a third party verification that the facilities implemented the identified physical security enhancements. The extent to which the remaining facilities are addressing security is unclear and the extent of chemical facilities' security preparedness is unknown. In this context, a comprehensive national strategy to identify high-risk facilities and require facilities to assess their vulnerabilities, among other actions, would help to ensure that security vulnerabilities at chemical facilities are addressed.

Every bit as washed up and burnt out as its protagonist after seven patchy seasons, Californication bowed out last night, with its season 7 finale seeing Hank Moody make a bid for on-off girlfriend Karen's heart with an epistolary declaration of love.
*Read no further if you're avoiding spoilers*
Finding romance in the most unromantic of surroundings (an airplane cabin), Hank read aloud to Karen from a letter as they headed to New York:
"Our time in the sun has been a thing of absolute f*cking beauty.
"The nightmares, the hangovers, the f*cking and the punching, the gorgeous shimmering insanity of this city of ours, where, for years, I woke up, fucked up, said I was sorry, passed out and did it all over again.
"As a writer, I'm a sucker for happy endings. The guy gets the girls, she saves him from himself, fade to fucking black. As a guy who loves a girl I realize there's no such thing.
"There's no sunset. There's just now, and there's just the two of us."
A guarded happily-ever-after, the ending was cut to Elton John's Rocket Man.
While their love for each other has been unwavering, Hank and Karen were repeatedly drive apart over the course of the show's seven seasons by indisgressions on both sides, but David Duchovny has no doubt that Hank will now remain faithful and that the pair will spend the rest of their lives together.
"I never saw that at all as even a question," the actor told Variety. "I'm not sure you can find any time in the show when Hank was with Karen that he was with somebody else. If you look at the history of the show, what split them up in the beginning was (that) Karen went off with Bill. Karen had an affair and that kind of sent Hank into whatever alcoholic and discriminate hooking up that he did and (that) became the hallmark of the show. But whenever Hank and Karen were on, Hank did not fool around.
"Because of the name of the show and because of certain kind of focus on T & A, sometimes that kind of overloads the true nature of the character. The way I saw him was that if Karen's not available it doesn't matter who he's with. Hank has been faithful in spurts, when they've been together, so I don't see any reason that he wouldn't be able to do it again."Reuse content

Donald Driver runs through the 49ers for a memorable touchdown.

The dark-blue jerseys feature a large yellow circle on the front, with the players' numbers in dark blue inside the circle. The pants are tan and the helmets are brown to simulate the leather helmets worn decades ago.
They may or may not be fashionable, depending on your viewpoint, but the players loved them. At least, they loved them when they were made by Reebok. Now, Nike makes the uniforms.
"Pumped we are wearing the alternate unis for a game this year. By far the most comfortable football pants I've ever worn," punter Tim Masthay said on Twitter, echoing what quarterback Aaron Rodgers said before the 2011 game against St. Louis.
"Love them. Love them. Love them," Rodgers said at the time. "I'll be honest, I looked at the picture last year, and I was a little bit leery of, 'What's that going to look like?' But I'll tell you what, and you'll probably hear it from some other guys, the pants that we have are the most comfortable pants. I've been looking forward to this game all year because of those pants. I don't know what the problem is, why we can't get the same material during every other game. But I'm telling you, these brown pants, whatever, tan, are so comfortable."
The Packers are 2-0 with their throwbacks: 34-16 over San Francisco in 2010, a win highlighted by Donald Driver's remarkable catch-and-run touchdown, and 24-3 over St. Louis in 2011. The Packers did not wear their throwbacks last season.
Take 12: Aaron Rodgers will have a guest role in the NBC comedy "The Office." The episode airs at 8 p.m. (Central) on Thursday.

An image of a stream can, in most cases, become captured at an instantaneous moment, thus depicting only the truth of that time. Yet, a stream takes over the realms of continuity, bringing promise of an eventual change; however, the means taken to produce this paradigm shift oft comes at the expense of others.
This cost happens in the form of placeholders, or interim invented truths, as in most cases a placeholder is used as a diversion until it is opportune to reveal the true context in which the placeholder inhabits. Often in design, Latin text is used in place of the true copy, until the true copy becomes relevant to present. In the case of my artwork, fluids are presented as a visual metaphor to mask and offer a distraction in place of actual truth, until an opportune moment of revelation.
Sugar is of a temporary nature, as is water: both are subject to conditions that result in purging. The sugar can be removed with the use of water and force, while water can be evaporated away, almost as if either were never really there. In due time, it is the placeholders that –upon evaporation and removal– are forgotten, and the intended, ideal content is what is ultimately retained in the memory of others, and of time itself.

Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer, has warned that it will not increase its share of the handset market this year because of fierce competition. The Finnish technology company also said its profit margins will continue to come under pressure as it battles the impact of the global recession.
Nokia today announced a 66% drop in second quarter profits to €380m (£326m), sending shares down almost 10%. The company, which makes roughly four out of every 10 phones sold worldwide, had previously reassured investors that it would strengthen its dominance in the market this year.
Nokia also said it now expects profit margins in its mobile phone business in the second half of the year to be the same as the 10.3% recorded in the first six months. It had originally promised margins of at least 13%.
There was some relief, however, as Nokia reiterated its forecast that the overall mobile phone market will only fall 10% this year, to just over a billion devices, having cut its forecast twice in the past nine months.
Chief executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said the company had "put in a solid performance" during a "tough quarter" and signalled that conditions show some signs of improvement as retailers and mobile phone networks have run down their stocks of phones and are ordering again. "Competition remains intense, but demand in the overall mobile device market appears to be bottoming out," he said.
The Finnish company, which is cutting jobs as it looks to reduce costs, has suffered as cash-strapped consumers hold on to their existing handsets and opt for cheap SIM-only deals, leading to a dramatic drop in sales of mid-range phones. Sales in emerging markets have also been falling as a result of the economic turmoil, with consumers looking for ever cheaper phones.
Businesses are also reining in their spending and laying off staff, which has had an impact on sales at Nokia as a major supplier to corporate customers. Meanwhile, many consumers in more developed markets who are willing to sign up to another long-term contract have been looking for a so-called smartphone such as the Apple iPhone or BlackBerry Storm in return.
Nokia said the average price of its phones in the second quarter was €62, down from €74 last year and €65 in the first quarter as a result of intense competition and higher sales of lower-priced products.
The smartphone threat
Nokia has been playing catch-up in the smartphone category, where the iPhone has made touchscreens all the rage. Its first mass-market touchscreen device, the Nokia 5800, was launched last year and has been selling well and Nokia recently expanded its touchscreen range with the release of the N97, which comes with a slide-out qwerty keyboard. The company sold 3.7m 5800s in the second quarter, meaning more than 6.8m have shipped since launch. Nokia did not separate sales of the N97, saying only that total shipments of its N-series phones – which include other devices such as the N96 and N95 – were 4.6m in the quarter and it sold 4.7m of its E-series business devices, such as the E71 which is aimed at business people who are used to using a BlackBerry.
In the three months to end June, Nokia shipped a total of 103.2m phones, down 15% year on year and 11% on the first quarter, while the industry as a whole shipped an estimated 268m phones, down 12% year on year and a decrease of 5% on the first quarter. Nokia reckons shipments of smartphones – or "converged mobile devices" as the company calls them – increased to 41m units in the second quarter from 36m in the first quarter. Nokia shipped 16.9m smartphones compared with 13.7m in the first quarter of the year, giving it a 41% share of the market.
Sony Ericsson struggles
The news came as ailing rival Sony Ericsson announced a loss for the same period – its fourth consecutive quarterly loss – as it continued to lose market share to rivals such as Samsung, HTC and Apple. The joint venture between Sweden's Ericsson and Sony of Japan made a loss of €213m for the three months to the end of June compared with a profit of €6m last year.
The company, which is looking to slash costs by cutting 2,000 jobs on top of the 2,000 that went last year, shipped 13.8m phones in the quarter, down 43% on the same period last year, giving it a 5% share of the market. That is down from 6% in the first quarter of 2009.
"As expected, the second quarter was challenging and we still believe the remainder of the year will be difficult for Sony Ericsson," said the firm's president Dick Komiyama. "Our focus remains on bringing the company back to profitability and growth as quickly as possible, and our performance is starting to improve due to our cost-reduction activities."
The company also hopes that new devices to be launched this year will help it increase sales and raise its market share. Its recently launched W995 is selling well, but gadget fans are eagerly awaiting its first phone using Google's Android platform, a touchscreen device apparently codenamed 'Rachael'.
There is intense speculation that Nokia is also working on a phone that uses Google's Android operating system, although a spokeswoman for the Finnish company stressed that there is "no truth" to the rumours and Symbian, the software joint venture that Nokia bought out last year, remains its "platform of choice for smartphones".
There has also been a lot of buzz about another Sony Ericsson device – nicknamed Kiki – with pictures on the internet showing that the phone has a revolutionary see-through screen. One phone that definitely will be out later this year, however, is the Satio, which has a mammoth 12.1 megapixel camera and was unveiled earlier this year under the Idou code name.
But IHS Global Insight telecoms analyst Peter Boyland pointed out that the average selling price of Sony Ericsson's phones – at €122, up from €116 in the second quarter of 2008 – "is still well above that of its key rivals, and its smartphone portfolio has not gained enough traction to justify this".
"Sony Ericsson has been hit by a double whammy of a drop in consumer spend, and a loss of interest in the company's high-end, often niche handsets, which have seen particularly sluggish take-up in emerging regions such as Latin America," he added. "The joint venture has also been criticised for dragging its feet in its entry to the smartphone market, allowing key rivals such as Apple, Palm and RIM's BlackBerry to leap ahead."

Much derision has greeted Boris Johnson's announcement that his 2012/13 budget will include a one per cent reduction in the mayor's portion of Londoners' council tax - the precept, as it's known to its friends. His own press release spells out that this will represent a "modest" reduction of £3.10 per household a year, which my abacus says works out at less than a penny a day. Big deal?
Well, no and yes. It's less than peanuts in financial terms, of course, but I assume the move has a greater purpose, even beyond grabbing a headline or two - modest or otherwise. Boris invites us to see the cut as the culmination of a virtuous record sustained throughout his mayoral term of freezing the precept each previous year. He talks this up by saying:
Assuming 3% inflation in real terms Council Tax bills will have been reduced by 16% between 2009-13.
It doesn't say what this assumption-embedded 16% means in terms of actual money. I've asked City Hall to let me know. I doubt it will be a huge sum, but again that's not really the point.
Boris's eagerness to talk about his approach to council tax is designed to concentrate minds on a larger debate about financial management in the GLA Group. The Tory mayor's speech last week about the budget in draft form contained almost as many references to his Labour rival Ken Livingstone's spending and precept-raising during his previous term as it did to his own plans.
The aim is to depict Ken as an innumerate, irresponsible spendthrift. Boris's campaign will miss no chance to whistle up recollections of tales of Livingstonian imprudence, whether true, imagined or spitefully exaggerated at the time.
It can't do them any harm. Research by Ipsos MORI presented at a Livingstone-organised conference in 2009 showed that a feeling that Ken made poor use of public money was significant in the suburbs in particular.
That's where Boris's support is strongest and he'll want to keep it that way, not least because Ken's promise to cut public transport fares will appeal in those parts of the metropolis too - Londoners who commute by Tube to the centre from Uxbridge or Upminster every day would no doubt be very grateful for a 7% cut in the cost of their travelcards.
Ken's initial response to Boris's announcement has been to reiterate that he's pledging to save Londoners more. He says:
I will save Londoners on average £1000 over four years by cutting the fares on October 7th this year. I believe in tough times Londoners need a Mayor who will cut the cost of living. Boris Johnson's announcement today would hardly pay for a single tube journey.
But Boris's move on council tax is indirectly a further challenge to Ken's "fare deal" maths, which have attracted a succession of assessments. See here, here, here and here. All this serves to remind me of something Ken said to Martin at MayorWatch last autumn. I quote:
My first eight years as Mayor was about getting money out of Government, in my next term it's going to have to be about prioritising the things that matter most which is actually keeping money in people's pockets, keeping the police numbers up, the fares down, the council tax down.
I was persuaded in 1976 about monetarism and that you can't borrow your way to a boom. I'm in favour of balanced budgets.
There's two things you've got - one is to try and get the debts cleared that Boris has built up, the other is to keep the spending power in people's pockets. Whether it's the council tax or the fares, if you're taking money out of people's pockets that's money they're not circulating in the economy.
We have a cost-cutting credibility bidding war. What will Ken's next move be?
Update, 14:43 Lib Dem candidate Brian Paddick responds:
The London Liberal Democrats have a fully costed proposal to reduce council tax by 3%. As a Liberal Democrat Mayor I am determined to make a real difference to Londoners, not just token gestures. Whilst any reduction in council tax is welcome I'm not going to spend too long working out how I would spend my extra £3.10 a year.
Mind you, Brian, 3% would only be around a tenner a year. John Biggs, budget spokesperson of the London Assembly Labour group, is even more scathing:
We support a freeze in difficult times but this tiny cut will save Londoners pennies - just about enough to buy one extra onion a month.
I can see those Boris Onionhead campaign masks already. But that's just the start of Biggs's shopping list. He continues:
Boris Johnson's 6p a week council tax cut saves Londoners enough to buy:
One box of organic eggs a year
One cooking apple a month
One tin of Tesco value beans a month
One onion a month
One packet of salted peanuts a year.
OK, Peanuthead masks.

Playing the crash cymbals for the 'Star Spangled Banner' in your school band is kind of a big deal. It's definitely the most dramatic part of the song, and it only gets more dramatic when one of the cymbals breaks. What does one do when such a nightmare occurs? Take a cue from this kid who handled the situation like a bawse.
Look at that -- a cute video about a little girl who loves her daddy. JK! IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT HOW "NON-WHITES" ARE TRYING TO DESTROY THE WORLD!! At least according to the racist internet monsters who said so many horrible things in the comments section of this video that Cheerios scrubbed and disabled them.
If you were planning on taking pictures at your wedding, you may as well cancel the photographer. In fact, you should probably call off the entire wedding, because what could possibly top this picture?
If you're not taking advantage of your baby's pliability and lack of motor control skills to pose them for silly photographs, frankly we don't understand why you even had kids. If for no other reason than to post a picture of your kid to Facebook every once in a while that is actually entertaining, instead of just sharing "the magic" of a 10-month-old eating pie. Of course they like it -- it's pie.

This video should be just the thing to lift your spirits if you really wish you weren't back at work already. It's a supercut. Not just any supercut -- a supercut of 77 awesome (and not so awesome) dance scenes from movies set to 'Safety Dance.' It's pretty great.

Bechtel donates $15,000 to Yakima Valley/Tri-Cities MESA program
RICHLAND — A $15,000 gift from Bechtel National Inc. to the Mathematics,
Engineering, Science Achievement program of Yakima Valley/Tri-Cities helped nearly 250 middle and high school students in Eastern Washington gain engineering experience at today's MESA Day competition at Washington State University Tri-Cities.
The donation allowed about 60 teams of students from the Pasco, Granger and Sunnyside school districts to compete in challenges centered on the development and operation of prosthetic arms.
"With generous sponsorship and understanding of our mission for the future scientists, Bechtel once again made our MESA Day possible," said Jorge Moreno, interim director and high school coordinator for YVTC MESA. "This experience provides more than 200 students something tangible that explains how their in-class learning translates to real-life STEM technology."
The MESA program provides enriching educational opportunities that help build a pathway to college and careers in the science, technology, engineering and math fields for students who are currently underrepresented in those fields: African-American, Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander and female.
A global leader in the engineering and construction industry, Bechtel has a corporate commitment to programs, such as MESA, that inspire students to pursue careers in STEM fields. Former Bechtel president Stephen Bechtel Jr., helped mobilize corporate support for the national MESA program in 1978.
"Bechtel has a long history of supporting the MESA program," said Bechtel's Peggy McCullough, project director for the Waste Treatment Plant project. "This gift is an investment in the next generation of students who will lead the country in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math."

Just when Prague was quieting down yesterday with the completion of both the WPT Prague and Eureka Poker Tour Prague Main Events, another took off straight away with the EPT Prague. Day 1a saw a massive 336 players turning up, with many of them probably coming straight over from the other events.
With Day 1b set to be even busier tomorrow, the EPT are expecting a larger combined entry than last year's 722, we to believe that will be the case considering the numbers that took part in the other Prague events.
By the end of Day 1a, it was Iosit Beskrovnyy who holds the chip lead over that monster field as he bagged up 239k in chips which has him 50k clear of Jose Alastuey in second place currently.
Event Underway!
The EPT Prague certainly got off to a bang as Sordo knocked out Antonin Duda within the first couple of levels in a K-K vs A-K situation with his pocket kings holding up and sending his opponent to the rail. This got Sorda off to a great start, with him staying amongst the chip leaders throughout the day.
Another player that finished the day successfully was double WSOP bracelet holder Olekseii Kovalchuk, who finished up with 137,400 chips despite starting the day quite lowly.
There were plenty of other players that made it through to Day 2, with many of them being huge names in the poker scene. There was Bertrand Grospellier, Eoghan O'Dea, PokerStars Team Pro Eugene Katchalov, Todd Terry and Juha Helppi heading into the second days action.
On the flip side, whilst there were some big names making it through, there were also plenty who failed to get to the end of the day such as Liv Boeree, Steve O'Dwyer, Jonathan Duhamel, Arnaud Mattern and John O'Shea.
PokerStars Team Pro Liv Boeree had a disastrous day at the felt before being eliminated, she tweeted her followers that she suffered three big bad beats that ultimately saw her sent home from she claims she lost when holding a nut flush but an opponent has a full house, she then held the A-Q but it didn't improve to beat a J-J and her biggest beat was when her pocket kings were beaten by pocket jacks.
The Current Top Ten!
Iosif Beskrovnyy – 239,000
Jose Alastuey – 177,500
Mikhail Zabrovskiy – 172,700
Jose Manuel Nadal Sordo – 167,200
Todd Terry – 162,400
Jason Helder – 159,000
Bulat Bikmetov – 147,000
Oleg Perepletchikov – 144,600
Oleksii Kovalchuk – 137,400
Diego Gomez Gonzalez – 135,200
Day 1b is to start at noon local time today, with an even bigger crowd expected for the second flight of Day 1. We will be here to bring you a full report so make sure you pop back for an update.

AbstractX-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is a widely used and extremely sensitive analytical technique for qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis. Superconducting Transition Edge Sensor (TES) microcalorimeter detectors have now been developed that achieve an energy resolution of 2 eV for 1.5 keV X-rays, which is sufficient to enable the measurement of the small shift of the X-ray line position that occurs depending on the chemical bonding state of the fluoresced atoms. STAR Cryoelectronics proposes to fabricate improved TES detectors that match this performance and integrate these detectors into an X-ray spectrometer for chemical shift mapping. This will significantly enhance the power of X-ray spectroscopy as an analytical tool for a broad range of applications.

11,970 Georgia Voters Take Advantage of the New Online Voter Registration System in Just Three Weeks
Atlanta– Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp announced that 11,970 Georgians went online using a computer or the MVP mobile app to use the new online voter registration system. 6,884 new voters used the system and 5,086 citizens used the system to update their information.
"When we launched this system 3 weeks ago, I made a commitment to speak to as many Georgia voters as possible so that they could take advantage of this great new tool," said Kemp. "The team in the Office of the Secretary of State spoke and worked in every region of Georgia to get people engaged in the new system. It is enormously gratifying that Georgians responded in numbers this large."
Georgia voters can download the new "My Voter Page" (MVP) app on their Apple or Android device, where they can view their specific sample ballot, find their early voting and election day polling locations, check voter registration status and track the status of their absentee ballot. Just search for "GA Votes" in the app store.
While the April 21st deadline for voter registration in order to participate in the May 20th Primary has passed, citizens with a valid Georgia driver's license can still use the system to register for the November 4th General Election. The deadline for registration for the General is October 6, 2014.
Brian Kemp has been Secretary of State since January 2010. Among the offices wide-ranging responsibilities, the Secretary of State is charged with conducting secure, accessible and fair elections, the registration of corporations, and the regulation of securities and professional license holders.

The Walls of Jerusalem Experience
Discover a mountain landscape only accessible by foot and carved by glaciers on our exclusive walk in Tasmania's only true alpine National Park. On this walk, we use a comfortable base camp near the entrance to the Walls of Jerusalem peaks, allowing for delightful day walks with light packs into the heart of this spectacular mountain region. On the first day you will make the short hike up to the base camp, where you can leave your main packs for two days of exploration inside the 'Walls'. You'll have the chance to climb King David's Peak and Mt Jerusalem, from where views stretch across much of Tasmania, or venture to remote outer regions such as Golden Gate or Zion Vale. Each day, you return to the base camp, which is situated near a cluster of alpine tarns known as Solomons Jewels. Tents are pitched on wooden platforms, and your guides will prepare gourmet camp meals served with a wilderness view. Utilising the base camps, this trip is an ideal introduction to remote wilderness walking, providing a simple and rewarding camping experience.
Brief Itinerary
|Transfer from Launceston to the Walls of Jerusalem National Park, trek to our base camp
|Day walks including the summit of Mount Jerusalem
|Day walks to Golden Gate and Zion Vale
|Descend from the Walls & return to Launceston.

Once up there, the scenery was spectacular and the walks chosen were a great mixture of challenge, relative ease and relative remote experience.
B. Bettington. Old Bar, NSW.
All the day walks were very good, but climbing Solomons Throne was special because it is so different. Very pleasant trip, Ashe and Simon complemented each other and were great, the group was small and very easy to be with. I think it is about right. The itinerary is good and the camp site is very comfortable. All in all a very pleasant, well organised trip.
P. McGinnity. Kirwan, QLD.
The trip was great. I was expecting a bit more of a solid itinerary for hiking paths rather than choosing a new plan each day. It however worked out great and I was able to see all I wanted. Thank you!
M. Bohm. Oak Creek, WI, USA.
Highlights of the trip: Being in wilderness, feeling like being on a new planet with all the different plants, animals, birds.
Having excellent guides that can tell us about each of those.
M. Bohm. Oak Creek, WI, USA
Ashton and Paul were excellent guides, they really helped make the whole experience unforgettable!
D. Maurice. Kogarah, NSW. Australia.
I loved my trip. the guides were both very helpful from the first day what we needed to have, sorting and packing our packs through to the last day enjoying our ride back into Launceston and resorting our gear. I was not expecting to be camping in the snow, so it was a bonus for me. Every day our guides told us what to expect and involved us on decisions of where we would walk the next day. When the weather turned bad they gave us the option to leave or stay and provided us with information in order to make informed decisions. I would definitely travel with them again, i felt safe and knew I was in capable hands while camping in the snowy mountains.
Mary D. via TripAdvisor
I went on the April 2013 Walls four day trek. Absolutely fantastic. My first trek, had no idea what to expect. The giudes were experienced and knowledgeable. Equipment was first class and up to the task. Food was good. No issues. I will trek with Tas Ex again. The whole Walls area has so much history attached to it and the scenery is stunning. This is me on top of Mt Jerusalem. The whole area is like this. Rating *****
Jack McCann. Sydney, Australia
I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience our 'Walls of Jerusalem' walk was. Our guides, Jake and Simon were not only thoroughly professional in their attention to every detail of the trip, they were also extremely knowledgeable about the history, geology, flora, fauna and the joys of exploring such beautiful places.
M Tunnell. Paddington, QLD. Australia
I'm back from the Walls of Jerusalem walk it was hard but fantastic! Scenery spectacular and the wilderness beautiful.
Just wanted to let you know that our guides Brenton and Nikita were fantastic. Brenton went out of his way to make the trip interesting and his cooking skills produced some really yummy meals. Nikita was always very encouraging and helpful. I really enjoyed their company and having them as our guides they made the trip really special. Go Solomons Crack!!
Oh yes nearly forgot - Scott the driver was a delight and the lunch at the end of the trip was
a great way to finish.
C. James. Cottesloe, WA. Australia
Had a great time and my compliments to the guides.
Jon Vause. Halls Head, WA, Australia
My brother and I decided to join the four day Walls of Jerusalem Experience during our 18 day visit to the east coast of Australia back in April of 2011.
We looked on ine searching various outfitters and decided to go with TazEx because the level of challenge seemed decent, in a short amount of time and since we were coming in from the states we needed to go with an outfitter that would supply the all the gear.
Top four thumbs up from our trip:
---The pristine wilderness.
Both my brother and I felt we were able to see a very special corner of the word that may not have been as easily accessed without the trek.
---The guides.
Knowledgeable about all the plants and animals we saw and heard, they were funny, and great cooks(a crazy delicious custard apple dessert one evening). Both men helped us out in any way possible. They went well above and beyond: lending gloves when mine werent warm enough, going on extra hikes in the evening before dinner, driving us out to Cataract Gorge in Launceston so we could hike around pre trek, helping us set up and take down the tents. Wes and Erik helped to make our trip unforgettable.
---The ease of booking.
All e-mail responses were prompt and accurate.
---Good Gear.
We were able to experience all sorts of weather and the gear held up aka no leaks in tent or rain wear and warm sleeping bags.
If you like being outdoors and want to get off the beaten path try one of their trips.
If I am ever in the area I will go on another tazex trek
16Ocean, via Trip Advisor Southern California, USA
The four-day Walls of Jerusalem Experience is run by a company called Tasmanian Expeditions. It is simultaneously one of the best and least-known walking trips in Tasmania. From a base camp at the splendidly named Wild Dog Creek in the bosom of the national park, it provides modestly challenging day walks followed by proper dinners beneath nights boiling with stars, perhaps a glass or two of Tasmanian wine, then snug nights cocooned in goosedown. It is "adventure lite", wilderness without the wild: no heavy rucksacks, no packet pasta, no cold nights.

World Expeditions
World Expeditions is one of the world's leading adventure travel companies offering ground breaking itineraries on every continent. The company has been operating small group trekking and adventure travel holidays and vacations since 1975.
We are widely recognized for ground breaking Responsible Tourism initiatives. In particular, the award winning Community Project Travel Program helps to improve the living conditions of some of the world's most remote communities
Today, with offices around the globe, we offer more than 500 stand alone itineraries; small group active adventures and expeditions, cycling and walking tours and cultural journeys. Each itinerary has several scheduled departure dates throughout the season.
Supported by some of the world's most experienced and respected adventurers, including mountaineers Peter Hillary and Tim Macartney-Snape working with us as specialist guides, World Expeditions' has helped shape the adventure travel industry standards since its inception almost four decades ago.
Our all-inclusive, no hidden extras pricing policy combined with longer, creative itineraries and the use of quality ground services attracts people who have high expectations of their travel experiences.
In 2004, we became the first adventure operator whose product was being distributed on Lonely Planet's Travel Services section on their website.
World Expeditions is truly global company with offices in London, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, as well as Auckland, Ottawa and Montreal.
Why Travel with World Expeditions?
We own most of our operational bases around the world. This ensures that we can provide high quality trips of exceptional value with no hidden extras. Our trips are all inclusive, so there is little need to pay for anything once your trip commences until it ends. Our hands-on approach and years of experience has ensured a safety record second to none as we've pioneered some of the most unique itineraries in the adventure market place today.
World Expeditions has been seriously committed to responsible travel and true sustainability since we began in 1975 when we established our philosophy and stated ideal which was to "take only photographs and leave only footprints".
Almost four decades of pioneering adventure travel has proved the positive conservation outcomes when travel is managed for sustainability. We believe a responsible, long-term vision can deliver true sustainability and with the participation of all our clients and business partners the challenge is being met and achieved.
An example of this commitment to sustainability has been our efforts to preserve the forests of Nepal. This has involved changing an entrenched culture of burning wood for fuel. World Expeditions has pioneered the change to kerosene as an alternative to wood on all trekking expeditions in Nepal. We do not have camp fires and we strongly discourage trekkers from buying wood-fueled hot showers in lodges along the trail. As a founding supporter of the International Porter Protection Group (IPPG) we also lead the way in porter protection by providing a good working wage for all Nepalese staff, food and extra clothing for those working above the tree line, life insurance cover and emergency helicopter insurance. Our efforts were recognized at the World Travel Mart in 2006 when our porter policies received a 'Highly Commended' in the Mountain Environment category.
Our philanthropic program ensures we 'give something back'. Our current initiative is Community Project Travel. The concept behind our Community Project Travel range of trips is based on the ethos of "travel with a purpose". It is a range of small group adventures, each about two weeks in length, whereby participants commit four to five days of their holiday to making a difference to a community in need. A portion of the traveller's participation fee contributes to the associated material costs of the project. In 2006 our travellers helped to refurbish the Saramthali school in Nepal, collected 7 tonnes of ghost nets from the Arnhem land coastline, helped to build a new school room for the Xo village in Vietnam as well as erect a footbridge for the village of Qelqanqa in Peru so that kids could access the school safely.
In recognition of our environmental policies, we are the only Travel Company ever to be fully endorsed by the Wilderness Society in Australia. In 2001, we received the National Travel Industry's Environmental Achievement Award, presented by WWF Australia, for our responsible tourism policies.
In addition, we create excellent adventures! Our trips have featured in the world's most prestigious magazines and newspapers including: OUTSIDE magazine, both National Geographic Adventure & National Geographic Traveler magazine, Wanderlust, The Sunday Times, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, The Age, The Sunday Telegraph (UK) plus much more.
