why are you using a combo box on a report. a combo box is a way of displaying options for a user to select... fine for a form, pointless for a report.
there's several wasy of handling this
1) is to use a dlookup as the datasource for the control, based on the value
say the name of the column in you recordsource that holds the value to be looked up was mylookupdescription
the name of the index (ID) of the row in the lookup tabel is mylookupID
the name of the table is mylookuptable
the name of the value in the reports recordset is mylookupvalue
..assuming that mylookupvalue is numeric
=dlookup("mylookupdescription", "mylookuptable", "mylookupid = " & mylookupvalue)
=dlookup("mylookupdescription", "mylookuptable", "mylookupid = '" & mylookupvalue & "'")
of the 2 option 2 is probably the preferable
..actually there's many more ways of doing this than 2, but these 2 are probably the best option for youI'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My Amazing sister-in-law Sam was diagnosed with Pompe Disease - a form of Glycogen Storage Disease - in february 2010. Glycogen Storage Disease is caused by a defective gene. People with Pompe Disease lack the enzyme that breaks down glycogen into glucose. Without this enzyme, glycogen, a thick sticky substance, accumulates within the muscle cells and leads to muscle weakness and breathing problems that worsen over time. Although it mainly affects the skeletal and respiratory muscles, in children it can also affect the heart.
I am Absailing the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth to help raise money & awareness for AGSD, which is a brilliant charity who offer support and guidance, as well as help with funding & sponsorship for research, studies, and trials towards treatments. AGSD have done so much to help Sam who despite this debilitating disease never fails to amaze me with the things she achieves for herself, her family and her beautiful little girl Poppy.
It goes without saying that any donation you can make will be massively appreciated.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every single donation by a UK taxpayer. So its the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thanks again for listening.

Vehicle2003 Cadillac Seville SLS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
ReviewThe 2003 Seville is a nice car with some great
features and has that unique style as the price has drop and you can afford to have one. The North star motor can be a smooth surprise, but like with any vehicle you buy there is always some strength and weakness of any car, The car itself is a driving computer and if your not aware of this the car can be your worse nightmare in repair with sensors and the electronic hardware that runs the car, but aside of that the car is a marvel as the technology in the car has laid some idea's for the future Cadillac's,
Its a true Cadillac and i just love mines with 96,000 miles and i am a mechanic
if you see one for sale get one.
Best FeaturesThe personal settings on how the seat and controls tailor to you is so cool
Worst FeaturesThe car needs improvements in the sensor locations and better computer..

My husband and I have been contemplating a tour of Europe for about 6 months. We are thinking of visiting about 8- 10 countries.
Southern Italy
A Danube river country or 2 (not sure where yet, any recommendations?)
Jerusalem (Holy Land)
What is a fair estimate for a trip like this for 2 ppl?
We would be interested in culture, architecture and history, not looking to party and drink.
We are looking at about a $12K budget after airfare from east coast to Europe, and we are willing to stay at cheaper hotels (probably not hostels) , eating on a budget with an occasional decent restaurant meal once in a while.
Are guided tours in each city worth it or could we do it on our own? Any recommendations, tips or advice would be appreciated. Any other web sites for additional research could help too. Thank you!

Within the 12K, are you planning to contain your travel within Europe? And is that 12K per person - or total?
If it is 12K total - I don't see how you can do this. That breaks down to 2K per month - or 1K dollars per month per person. And that is just over 30 dollars per day per person.
With that budget, I think you would need to cut the trip down (in both duration and number of countries) and perhaps visit more of the eastern part of Europe.
On the Danube, I live in Budapest Hungary and love it. It is quite inexpensive - but still could not be contained within your budget.
An alternative could be to pick a handful of places and secure longer term apartment rentals...
Report Abuse
Your budget is way too small for what you propose.
Also, keep in mind that unless you get a special visa that lets you stay longer, you can only stay in the Schengen zone for 90 days out of 180 -- so staying in the Schengen zone for 89 days then going to Jerusalem for 2 weeks does not reset your Schengen clock.

Could you exist for six months in the U.S. for $12K, even living at home? Travel is always more expensive than staying home, even if you leave out the actual cost of airfare, train fare and car hire.
Why do you want to travel for six months? Do you know how well you will cope with dislocation from your home life, your family and friends? Have you previously lived amongst strangers, who mostly speak a language you do not understand, and who have customs and practices that are foreign to you? You must be prepared for culture shock in quite unexpected matters, and also for price shock. Goods and many services are generally cheaper in the U.S.
My advice is to first try something much more modest and less demanding. Perhaps come to Europe for a month, visiting only 2 or 3 countries and making sure you visit both cities, with their cultural and historic attractions, and parts of the countryside. You should only move between places every 2-3 days, or you will lose too much time travelling.
Finally, I am always concerned with statements like "eating on a budget with an occasional decent restaurant meal once in a while". If you avoid the obviously tourist-oriented places, most restaurants will give you an insight into the food culture of a society, and the way its citizens behave. Go at the times the locals do, and don't try to use the menu to get an American-type meal, and don't think that the most expensive dishes or wines are the best or most typical. Descriptions on this site of dinners in French restaurants never mention the cheese course.

Chartley brings up some great points. It might be helpful to note that $12,000 is a little over 9,000 Euro. Not a lot of money for a couple for 6 months, even if you stay in hostels (which you will grow sick of after 2 weeks).
Eating on a budget, aka, eating bread and cheese every day from the market, is going to get old very, very fast. Can it be done? Absolutely. Will you be miserable? Very probably yes.
Also, England and Scotland are very expensive (compared to Spain and Italy).

"after airfare from east coast to Europe", but no provision for the travel between places that you want to see. That will take a big chunk of your $12K on its own.
You need to approach this from the other direction if $12K is what you want to allocate to this trip. A realistic daily budget amount for food and accommodation, staying in max. 3 star type hotels is IMO $200 (and that's cutting it fine). So you have a maximum of 60 days away. You need to reduce this to allow for travel costs once you've arrived in Europe and need to move around.
Pick 4 stops and you might be able to negotiate discount stays for longer periods and it keeps your travel costs low. The UK and Ireland is more expensive than your budget allows as is Italy. In these places you will need to seek out B&B accommodation (UK definition of B&B not the US version)or 2/3 star hotels. Spain is cheaper but France is not. Eastern Europe more so.

Two issues:
You are allowed only 90 days total in schengen and must then leave, UK you are allowed 6 months - but you will have to balance this carefully.
As for yuor budget - I fear that it simply isn't realistic unless you are willing to do couchsurfing and eating picnic meals from supermarkets in a park bench.
Remember that the dollar is low versus the euro and pound - so all expensee can be expected to be abuot 1/3 more than in the US. And what you have allowed will barely cover the cost of 2 beds in a shared dorm rooms in a hostel - never mind food, local transport, transport within cities and sightseeing. Granted some places are free - but other major sights will take almost your entire daily budget.
Suggest you look at super budget travel guides - Let's Go Student Guides etc to get an idea how to live as cheaply as posible - but then do run the numbers based on realistic costs.

What time of year are you thinking about? What is your thinking about doing such a long trip involving so many places?
Although given the places you want to go you can probably make it work to have only 90 days in the Schengen countries it still might make more sense to split the trip and perhaps do three months and then the following year do another three month trip. Yes it would cost twice the transatlantic airfare but in many other ways it would make for a more pleasant experience (for most people) Touring around for 6 months is a long time - and given you have nine countries that's only a few weeks in each country - not to mention different cities/regions of each - so that means you will be moving around frequently. Six months is a long time (to be on the move every few days) - and at the same time it's NOT a lot of time to see nine countries.
Have you thought about how long in each county, what parts of those countries you want to see? How you will get from one country to the next?
You mentioned you want to stay in 'cheaper' hotels. I would figure about 75€ per night double. That's average, with cities being more. That's $100. So for 180 days that's more than your 12K right there. The average price for a hostel bed is over 25€ per person so even that would break your budget. And apartments for short term (less than a month at a time) will be well over that.
Figure on food costing about what it does in the US - eg food from a grocery store for a picnic, inexpensive restaurants, etc.But then you have to figure in the exchange rate.
Transportation from city to city is also not insignificant -it can be greatly reduced if you plan your itinerary so that you can purchase train/plane tickets 90 days in advance. For example, if I want to buy a train ticket from Rome to Venice for tomorrow it will cost between 40 and 80€ (depending on time of day, how fast, etc). But I can get a 'smart' fare ticket for only 9€ if I buy it 90 days ahead. Same kinds of discounts are available in most countries. There's lots of information on this forum about getting cheap train tickets is various European countries but that's one example. For longer distance look at Easyjet.com and whichbudget.com for sample airfares. But same as with trains it will vary hugely depending on how far in advance you purchase, time of day, day of week, month, etc.
Admissions fees is yet another cost - again, varies widely but 'major' sites figure on at least 10€ per person. In the UK museums are often free but churches charge admission, opposite in other countries. You can really plan though as almost every site/church/etc has a website with hours and costs for admission.
Good luck and have fun planning - traveling around Europe is wonderful and can be done relatively economically compared to what some people spend. But bottom line, no I don't think you can do 6 whole months for two people for 12K.

Hi sammikins ,
We spent thirteen weeks in the UK, Scotland, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy in 2009 and spent right around $20,000 (not including souvenirs). This did not include airfare (we had free flights), but did include a two month car buy back for $2000.
The exchange rate at that time EURO/US$ was 1:1.40 approximately.
We stayed in very budget minded accommodations: $100 or so per night, apts and B&Bs. We rarely ate out: did picnics daily which we loved, bought food for dinner at local markets and groceries and did not do really expensive activities.
I did the budgeting ahead of time and we stuck to it. We had our accommodations booked ahead of time to save money. I ball parked the activities for each of the areas so I knew the expense involved with that. I estimated other costs based on this forum.
We knew our budget and stuck to it and actually when the trip was said and done I had actually come in a few hundred under budget.
For a trip of this duration you really have to crunch the numbers ahead of time. You cannot just wing it or you will be in for a really big shock (and probably an early return from your trip). You also have to figure in day to day expenses, like laundry, batteries, medications, misc things like that. they all add up. Even a few dollars a day times 180 days can add up to thousands.
IMO, like the posters above mentioned, 60 days is probably the max you can do, and even this is a very budget trip.
Don't get me wrong. We absolutely loved our three month trip and the reason we did it on a budget was it was more important to us to spend more time and less money in each area, than more money and less time in each area. That is our basic travel philosophy.

We are looking at about a $12K budget after airfare from east coast to Europe, and we are willing to stay at cheaper hotels (probably not hostels) , eating on a budget with an occasional decent restaurant meal once in a while.
I just added up all our expenses for 9 weeks (credit cards and ATM withdrawals), and they came out to about $1000 per week, with 5 weeks on a lower budget than normal for travelers because we did not pay rent and ate at home for the most part. We do not stay in the cheapest hotels, nor eat in the cheapest restaurants, but I believe that we travel modestly. I would therefore count on $1500 per week as a minimum. At some point I'll be coming out with a report on our trip in Germany which will give some greater precision.
Guided tours are more expensive than doing it on one's own.

Obviously, you need to shorten the length of your trip. But you could still have a lovely and rich experience in a trip of 6-8 weeks. A luxury most of us never get to experience. Moving around every few nights will get tiresome and expensive, so I would suggest securing apartment rentals of 1-2 weeks in each of the locations you select. Make sure to book everything in advance to save money, time, and frustration.
Think about a mix of city and non-city locations, as well as places that will allow for easy daytrips. For example, many people like to stay somewhere in Belgium because it has easy transportation options within the country as well as to France and Netherlands. With careful research, you should be able to plan a lovely trip.

Thank you all for your answers! Lots of great info! We're obviously in the very beginning stages of recently thought of idea. We haven't given it a HUGE amount of thought, I'm aware we need MUCH more info to even begin to plan in more detail and am very much relying on help from fellow travelers and more extensive research, budgeting and planning.
So I'm really not even understanding your rude, judgemental and unnecessary comment BigRuss. I'm not sure what "troll" even means. Isn't this what this forum is about? Asking for tips and advice?
I'm not a complete moron. I'm a successful business owner and we are in our 40's. We HAVE done some traveling outside of US before. Quite a few times to my parent's native country of Italy and I speak fluent Italian, Spanish and quite a bit of French. I'm first generation Italian, I was raised with European culture and influence. I was just "asking" for some advice. 12K was just a ball park figure, just curious how far that would stretch.
But, again I wanted to thank everyone that took the time to "kindly" explain some important points. Thank you for not being condescending and scoffing at a "first time poster".

Oh good, a response from the OP. So you're not a troll after all.
<<I'm a successful business owner and we are in our 40's. We HAVE done some traveling outside of US before.>>
And yet you think 50E/day is a workable budget for your plans?
<<Isn't this what this forum is about? Asking for tips and advice?>>
Yes, but not having us do the work for you. Did you not even consider lodging, food, transport and visitation costs before throwing out a 2k/month budget? Did you even check on the travel rules for Europe as US citizens? Are you asking for help, or for the board to do your research and work for you? The original post leans far more toward the latter.

Don't let a few condescending comments ruin your enthusiasm for planning your trip with this Forum.
Every trip begins with a 'seed' of an idea. Yours just needs a little tweaking!
I'd be happy to share anything with you regarding our 3 month trip. Sure 6 months is a long trip, and people scoffed at us and told us that we would not enjoy being away from home for three months, but we absolutely loved it.
I think the biggest thing we learned from taking a long trip like this is the absolute need to stay in each area for a minimum of 4-5 days and schedule several week long stays in different locations. A few quick stops of 2/3 days can and and should be mixed with longer stays.
Additionally, you will need/require a 'vacation from your vacation' occasionally. Plan to visit a very quiet/relaxed area where you don't plan to do much for that week. This will give you a chance to recharge your batteries for the next leg of your journey.
It is very exciting planning a trip like this. Just be aware of the Schengen rules and the weather aspect. North to South or South to North depending on the season, so you can try to avoid nasty/hot/rainy weather as much as possible.
Happy planning.

I meant to say I was first generation American not Italian in my earlier post. I'm not expecting anyone to do the "work" for me. I have only a limited time per day to "troll" the internet so I imagine it would take a bit a time to plan accordingly. Just asking for some direction.

But sometimes when a person comes in with a very broad request - and parameters that are imply not realistic - and then asks people to do all the work they are considered a troll (someone asking the question just to get a rise out of people and no actual intent of traveling)
I must admit that I found your budget shocking - and even more so if you have actually been to europe- but I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
But now I think you need to do a lot more work yourselves - as to how much you are willing to spend and how much time that will allow you to travel.

My intent was to simply ask for guidance not to have my complete itinerary set up for me. Okay, so I realize I need to cut down considerably on either time or countries or increase my budget considerably. When I traveled to Italy I didn't have a fair idea of expenses because I stayed, traveled and ate mostly with relatives, and it's been at least 10 yrs since I last visited.
I didn't realize I needed to have all my ducks in a row before asking for advice. In truth I did not do a lot of research before posting. I only thought this up this past weekend.
I just don't understand the hostility. If I had more experience with traveling to Europe, I would be more than happy to give as much insight, recommendations or suggestions as possible.
Thanks anyway.

Sammikins, read carefully. You are posting in the wrong forum.
While you will get some useful comments, in general as you can see from responses, the idea of 6 months and a low budget is throwing most posters off.
I actually find some of the comments hilarious. Imagine if someone had posted, 'I ONLY have 6 months available'. Imagine someone posting saying the plan to spend 1 or 2 years travelling Europe.
Go to the Lonely Planet Thorntree forum sammikins. You will find all of your questions and way of thinking is considered perfectly normal there.
You do need to think about budget more. You still haven't made it clear whether it is $12K per person or for both of you that you are talking about.
I can tell you this for a starter. The received wisdom on Thorntree is that the average daily budget(per person) for staying in hostels, eating mostly supermarket bought food and having the odd beer or museum entry fee is 50E per day. That is about as cheap as it can be done in Europe. So work that out.
To stay in hotels in some cases (1 or 2 star(
Report Abuse
Oops hit the wrong key.
To stay in 1 or 2 star hotels can be as cheap as two hostel beds in some cases but not all. Eating in restaurnts instead of buying food from a supermarket will obviously cost more and the 50E minimum does NOT include any transportation cost from place to place.
Some of the responses here are really illuminating as to how narrow a view of travel some people have. The idea that 6 months is too long is amazing.

And "staying in the UK for the other 90 days" is going to destroy your budget.
Report Abuse
sammikins, definitely consider staying longer in one place and making day trips from there. And consider apartments, because you can cook in and this will save you a lot of money.
To reduce costs, you could consider someplace like Romania in your plans. Croatia is inexpensive if you rent apartments and cook in, but eating out and renting a car will add substantially to your budget. I know these were not in your original plan but they will fit better into a budget. Slovenia is another place you can live, eat and drink fairly cheaply.
Basically, narrow it down to fewer places and maybe to the less costly ones. And maybe 4 months instead of 6?
As for Schengen you just need to make sure not to be in that particular area for more than 90 out of 180 days. The UK and Ireland (and Jerusalem) are not part of Schengen. Neither are Romania or Croatia which would fit way better into your budget. I was in Europe for 5 straight months last year by bouncing around a bit. Just count your Schengen days carefully and you'll be fine.
Hope this helps and keep us posted.

Improviser is correct that you may find some helpful information on the Thorntree forum. Since I am about your age, I just wanted to make you aware that many of the Thorntree posters are backpackers in their late teens and 20s. Just something to keep in mind as I have certainly found that my travel priorities and definitions of things like "clean comfortable hotel" have changed as I've gotten older.. You'll probably find it helpful to glean bits from that forum, this one, Tripadvisor, and multiple other resources to plan a trip of this size. Have fun!

All indications that these are mature people, probably used to a highish standard of accommodation and food, and wanting to visit interesting places, even if it means paying.

OK $12 K for 6 months that $2 K a month - less than $70 a day for two people - that is low low budget and will need to do as they say (and not dare go to Swsitzerland or Scandinavia!).
Report Abuse
Sammikins said the 12K was a ball park figure - for six months with all that moving around it is indeed too low.
I just broke out my budget calendar from last year. I spent around 12K - alone - in 5 months and 2 out of 3 of those months, I did not pay for lodging. I ate probably 75% of my meals at home but I am into good wine so spent more than the average person on wine. (Like 12 euros per bottle instead of 4 euros.) Also there were situations where I shared rentals with friends (in Venice for instance) which brought my costs down.
In 7 weeks in the UK and Ireland I spent $4600 and I only paid for lodging 3 out of those 7 weeks...
In Croatia 3.5 weeks cost $2600 including lodging.
This year, 2.5 weeks in Romania was $1340 and this included an overnight train with a private car...
In some countries it is certainly easier to be on a budget!

You "could" give us a bit more info about your level of travel desire--the difference between not wanting to hostel, but are good with budget accomodations is hard. If you search carefully you may find hotels for $80/night--or as someone suggested, an apartment.
There is much work to be done==by you.
Figure out a housing budget, a food possible budget, factor in a LOT of travel money between places, and then see if the answers were "hostile" or just "amazed at the question".

Sammi, welcome to Fodors. Six months in Europe means possible visa restrictions, and I'll let others comment on that.
An idea of costs. OK, you are not travelling in the same fashion as us, so costs will be different. We (my wife and I) have just spent a couple of months in Venice, in an apartment, with side trips to Florence (3 nights) and Verona (2 nights).
Leaving aside air fares and rent (3000 euro a month) we spent about 7100 euro, about 115 euro a day. Included in the figure of 7100 is the cost of the side trips. To give you an idea, and the numbers are as best I remember them:
Train to Florence, Verona, Padua and other day trips – about 300
Hotels in Florence and Verona – about 550
Eating out – say 8 times at 75 euro a time, say 600
"Tours" – kayaking in Venice and a motor boat tour – about 360
Museum admissions (Scrovegni chapel in Padua, bits and pieces in Venice) – say 150 euro
Things we bought – souvenirs, some clothing, various bits and pieces – I think about 700 euro.
Ferry tickets in Venice – probably 40 euro, but we have Imob cards, that give a great discount.
While rental was 3000 a month last time, the apartment was bigger than we needed. I've had a look at Airbnb, and next visit I think we'll find something suitable at 2000 a month.

A suggestion - start thinking in euro or pounds rather than US dollars, and it makes it easier for others to respond. There are posters on here with many different "home" currencies.
One euro is about USD 1.35, one pound is about USD 1.55.
$12,000 is about 9,000 euro.

I totally agree with the 'thinking in Euros' frame of mind. This is how we budgeted for our trip since for every Euro it cost us $1.40. It is important to take the exchange rate into account, especially for a trip of this length.

Picking up where Peter_S_Aus and I left off with $12k being about 9k Euro, that comes out to 1,500 Euro per month which is about 50 Euro per day.
Pick the right countries at the right time of the year and it's certainly doable but be prepared to do a lot of walking and forget about luxuries like hotels, rental cars, plane tickets, and fast trains. And stay out of the UK unless you want to hemorrhage money.
As a 40 year old, I say either double your budget (triple is better), halve your trip duration, or don't take your husband.

It would help if you gave your thoughts on a couple of tings:
Lodging - not hostels, but cheapest hotels (may often mean no elevator, toilet down the hall and no AC in very hot weather) - are you wiling to live like this?
Are you wiling to eat all your food outdoors or in hotel room - with mostly sandwiches, pizza, crepes etc for 6 months?
Are you willing to do without bar or pub for 6 months?
entrance fees to some of the major sights you want to see?
Do you understand that this means a lot of walking in most cities (bus or Metro is not free) and no shopping at all?
My younger D did about 5.5 weeks last summer - with 2 friends in a triple room in 2* or similar hotels and it cost her about $8K - including no air, but trains across europe, very little nightlife - and in student bars or cafes (no hard liquor) and only about $300 shopping - but lots of sightseeing.

I cannot fathom not stopping by a pub or Biergarten for 6 months. Madness.

As I've already said, the lowest budget anyone would suggest is possible is 50E per day per person. That's hostels, supermarket food and the odd beer. No transportation included. Until sammikins responds to that point, everything else is pointless.
However, I'd like to ask those responding, to raise their hand if they have spent 6 months travelling in an area anywhere themselves. If not, then your comments are NOT based on experience, only your opinion.
Long term travel is not the same as a few weeks or even 6 weeks. Nor is it the same as staying in one place for several months. The biggest mistake that people planning long term travel make is to look at money and time as being fixed along with planning an itinerary. In fact money and time are NOT fixed, they simply have a maximum available. They have NO minimum.
Trying to plan an itinerary for 6 months is fun before you go. Doing the research and getting excited about all the places you want to see is part of the fun of travel. But when you get on the plane to A, the thing to do is throw the plan out the window (figuratively since airplane windows don't generally open).
Long term travel is about freedom. The freedom to get up each morning and say, 'so what do we want to do today?' and then do it. It is about flexibility, not a structured plan. Getting away from everyday life and it's responsibilities and the need to keep to a schedule. Why then, would anyone want to self-impose a schedule on their time?
It requires a different mindset. Many people who travel long term for the first time have a budget and a plan. Few do that the second time around. Long term travel is about winging it and always being open to opportunities. Itineraries put blinders on you to opportunities.
For example, suppose you are sitting somewhere, perhaps a hostel and someone says, 'I've got a VW campervan and I'm looking for a couple of people to share fuel costs. I plan to drive to Pamplona next week for the running of the bulls.'
Someone responds, 'wow, I would love to do that but I can't. I've got a hostel booking in Rome from Friday and a flight to Istanbul on the next Thursday.'
That's a real life example I witnessed some years ago. Rome and Istanbul would still be there next month or next year but what are the chances of someone being offered a free place to sleep in Pamplona during the festival and transportation for just the cost of sharing fuel? That's a missed opportunity. Note the use of the word 'can't', that's the blinders pre-booking and pre-planning put on the person.
Now look at what that lost opportunity also means in terms of time and budget. Taking the opportunity could easily have meant a couple spent 2 weeks doing it for no more than 50E per day for the two of them. That includes being at the festival and drinking wine by the bucketful.
I have personally been offered temporary jobs; fuel sharing; crew berths on yachts; free accommodation and other ways of reducing costs if you are flexible enough to take advantage of the opportunites that come up.
Suppose you come to a small village on the coast of a Greek island. There is a village store where they have 2 studio apartments upstairs they rent out to tourists. They don't advertise them, they aren't on the internet, people just find them. They rent a studio for 25E per night. A bargain. Again, this is a real example that I personally know of.
You might find that room and decide hey, let's stay 2 weeks and explore this area. Again, you'll get by on 50E a day without much difficulty. But you have to have the flexibility to do that. You can't say, 'oh we've got a flight to catch on Wednesday or a hotel booked somewhere on Friday.
Long term travel is as simple or as complicated as you choose to make it. I follow a simple forumula when doing it as I have numerous times.
Buy a one way ticket to A and go. Spend as much money as you have to without throwing your money away and stay until you are ready to leave. When you are ready to move on and not before, decide where you want to go next. Go to B and repeat the process. Continue until either the maximum time you have available or the maximum amount of funds you have available runs out. Go home.
You may run out of money before you run out of time or you may not. It doesn't matter. What matters is whether you got the maximum experience out of each day you spent.
I've met a lot of travellers who were so busy trying to find the cheapest everything in order to try and stick to a budget, they had no time to enjoy where they were. That's pointless.
One thing I can say after having done a lot of long term travel, something ALWAYS happens that is unexpected. If you are in a position to take advantage of those serendipitous events, how long you will be gone and how much you will spend can change dramitically.
Long term travel is NOT a planned tour or package vacation, it is an adventure. An adventure by definition requires two things. The unknown and risk. That's why 'a traveller never knows where he's going'.

Either you are getting dumber, improviser... Or I have gotten smarter... As I finally understood one of your posts.
You make some great points... I have a friend who took a year off work and travelled (she actually worked for me, we gave her a one year unpaid leave).
But she did fix a few points along the way... She bought an around the world ticket as I recall... But only fixed 3 or 4 legs... Other than that, she was completely flexible... And she set up to teach school in Nepal for a month.
She returned a completely different person, within 6 months resigned, and moved to Australia to train as a vintner.... I think she married a New Zealander... And is still in that part of the world.

sounds like myself - took a leave of absence from teaching high school and bought an around the world ticket with major parts overland - came back and quit the teaching job to be a travel writer - I'd be zillions of bucks ahead with teaching but would never ever trade that for the priceless memories of traveling the world. Go for it.

Personally, I would never tie myself in to a RTW ticket regardless of how easy (debateble)some say it is to change a flight along the way.
It assumes you will continue in the same direction, never want to backtrack and will finish within the allotted time (usually 1 year max).
Here is a scenario. Someone is on a RTW ticket starting in N. America and going first to Europe. After 2 months of bumming around s/he ends up sitting in a taverna in Greece somewhere. A guy at the bar says he has a sailboat in the harbour and plans to spend the next month sailing back to Gibraltar before heading out the straits to the Canaries and then making the passage back across the Atlantic to the Caribbean for the winter. He is, by the way, looking for crew to join him.
That is again, a real life example I have seen happen. What's more, I've seen similar things several times but in different places. So what does your RTW ticket holder do? Say, 'I'm your new crew, when do we sail?' or does s/he say, 'Oh, I can't go, I've paid for a RTW ticket and I would have to lose the money it cost me. I've only used 1 flight to get to Europe.'
I've had numerous arguments with people about buying return tickets or RTW tickets. They're fine if you want to go on a 'tour' or 'vacation' of predetermined places over a predetermined amount of time. They're useless if you want maximum flexibility and particularly over a longer period of time. One way ticket to A and wing it from there, that's travelling.
I once left 'home' with no thought in mind but 'to do some travelling'. It was 14 years till I returned. I once went to a place expecting to spend a week or so seeing the place. I stayed 7 years. When I would meet tourists who heard I had been there several years (it was a highly touristed place), they would often ask, 'what made you decide to stay here?' I honestly answered that I had never decided to stay as a conscious decision. I simply hadn't decided to leave yet. In fact when I did decide to leave it was only a week between decision and leaving. I had not put down any real roots.
But that kind of independence to travel for an unlimited time comes only with financial independence. It makes the concept of 'home' a whole other subject.

There are lots of benefits for getting good sleep. Sleep improves your retention of information and skills you encountered the previous day. Sleep helps your concentration the day after you sleep. Good sleep also helps you to regulate your mood.
All of this data suggests that people should try hard to get a good night's sleep as often as possible. Sometimes, of course, it is not possible to control your own sleep schedule. People who travel may have to wake up early to catch a flight and then may suffer jet lag when they arrive at their destination. Work and school may present assignments that lead people to work deep into the night. I am a musician, and my band sometimes plays until the wee hours of the morning.
In the United States, there is also an enforced change in schedule twice a year as we shift from standard time to daylight savings time and back. In the Fall, the clocks are set one hour back early on Sunday morning so that the night has an extra hour. In the Spring, the clocks are set one hour ahead so that the night has one fewer hour. While people could try to adjust their sleep schedules immediately, it is quite difficult to do that, and so people are usually somewhat sleep deprived after the time change in the Spring.
Does that time change have any practical implications?
This question was addressed in an interesting paper by Kyoungmin Cho, Chistopher Barnes, and Cristiano Guanara published in the February, 2017 issue of Psychological Science.
They looked at the sentences handed out by judges in criminal court in the United States using data available from the US Sentencing Commission. They explored the prison sentences handed out between 1992 and 2003. They compared the sentences given out on the Monday after the Spring time change to the sentences given out the week before and the week after on Mondays. The statistical analysis they did also took into account the crime committed as well as the particular court handing out the sentence (because some judicial districts tend to give out harsher sentences than others).
Overall, judges gave out sentences that were 5% more severe on the Monday after the Spring time change than they did a week before or a week after the time change. By Tuesday, though, the effect went away. So, the effect of sleep deprivation was short-lived.
You might think that this effect has to do with a disruption of schedule rather than sleep deprivation. However, the researchers did a similar analysis for the Fall time change in which the night is an hour longer. The sentences on the Monday after this time change did not differ significantly from the sentences a week before or after.
This finding demonstrates how even a fairly small disruption in sleep can have a big practical impact. It suggests that the kind of emotional disruption caused by lack of sleep can affect the quality of people's lives. Even though most of us may not be handing out criminal sentences, we may have a negative influence on our friends and colleagues on the days that we do not sleep well.
This finding is also one more piece of evidence that we should get rid of daylight savings time. It has little practical benefit for most people, and the consequences of the time change can be severe.

Mastodon Drummer: 'I Understand People Who Don't Like Our Newer Albums'
"I feel that way towards some bands," Brann Dailor adds.
Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor recently discussed the attitude of fans who dislike the band's more recent efforts, calling it an understandable stance.
"I understand the stance," he said during a recent Reddit AMA. "I feel that way towards some bands. Especially when an artists career is long. People gravitate to specific albums.
"But, being in a band you have a different take. You can't be too concerned with the outside world. If we appease the fans of our earlier albums and made a record that sound like them and the fans hated it, we'd be frauds. It wouldn't be rewarding for anyone," Brann added.
During the rest of the Q&A, Dailor touched on the 2009 drum-off with Tool drum master Danny Carey, calling it a daunting task. "I love Danny. Fun playing with him. It was very nerve wracking. I didn't know the songs well. I should have been a little bit more prepared. I was an honor," he said.
The drummer also discussed the importance of David Lynch's "The Elephant Man," the movie that has inspired at least three Mastodon tunes - "Elephant Man," "Joseph Merrick" and "Pendulous Skin."
"He was so afflicted and the most grotesque human anyone had anyone laid eyes on," Dailor noted. "Yet still he saw beauty in the world. I saw the David Lynch film as a child and it always stuck with me. If you get the chance read the book 'True History of the Elephant Man.' It's pretty amazing."
Apart from sharing the epic photo below, Brann still didn't reply the most crucial, as well as the most upvoted fan question - "Do you really think it's acceptable to kill a man if he kills your goat?"
In related Mastodon news, the band's latest album "Once More 'Round the Sun" has landed at an impressive No. 6 spot on the US Billboard chart, selling 34,000 units in the States within the first week. You can still order the record via iTunes here.
Finally, the group's guitarist Bill Kelliher talked LARPing (Live Action Role Play) of all things, telling Rolling Stone that dressing up as Darth Vader from time to time is simply his thing.
"I don't know what the other guys do in the privacy of their own homes, but I have a Darth Vader costume with a light saber that I dress up in once in a while. I've gone to a couple of my kid's school functions dressed up as Darth and surprised the kids with a little lecture on listening to your teachers and staying in school. I don't know if that counts, but that's as far as my LARPing experience has gone."
While on the matter, Bill shared his expectations regarding "Star Wars: Episode VII," saying, "I'm just going to to keep my expectations low and hope for the best. I think it's going to be OK. Anything's got to be better than those f--king sh-tty movies that came out a couple of years ago."

A Second Chance: The Cover
Good morning, everyone!
It's a beautiful day here in southern Maine. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. And I'm outside writing. I couldn't ask for a more perfect day. (Well, the day will officially be perfect this evening when I'm devouring grilled ribs and chicken wings. YUM!)
Anyway, I wanted to share something special with all of you.
Over the past couple of days, I've been in an internal debate with myself over whether or not to share the cover for A Second Chance with all of you before the story is published. Half of me wanted to surprise everyone with it; the other half was so pleased and excited that it didn't want to wait. I was able to hold off the little kid in me for a few days, but unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, my inner child has won out. So here it, the cover for A Second Chance.
The original cover featured the name Second Chances, but with the name change and new scene additions, the story evolved into something new and beautiful. And as a result, I needed to have a new cover designed. I'm very pleased with how it came out since I feel it truly captures a very special moment in A Second Chance.
Before I close, I must give a special thanks to Jenny for creating the cover art for me.
Jenny, thank you SO much for taking the time to do this. You've been an amazing friend throughout this journey, and I'm truly grateful for all the help you've provided. I wouldn't have reached the point I'm at now without your help and support, so thank you.
Finally, if all goes well this week, I will be posting an excerpt from A Second Chance, so please keep an eye out for it.
6 Responses to A Second Chance: The Cover
It's a beautiful cover, Nicole! I would definitely pull it off the shelf and read the back. 🙂 Can't wait to read the book!
WOW…. this is a beautiful cover. I'd buy this book from this cover!

From the forthcoming The Darkside album (see the Cool N Dre BTS video above). This sounds like its already poppin' in NY based on what I'm hearing (for whatever that's worth nowadays!). Sh-t ain't bad though. You know it must be hot 'cos Joey Crack and Jeezy are two of the most hated rappers in the game right now. Its comedy to me that there are still people who hate on Jeezy as an MC although claiming he's Top 5 like my dude, Sledge is kind of jumping out the window!

Please help XP mode VHD not opening.
Hello I have downloaded Microsoft's XP Mode for my Windows 7 x64 Professional machine but I can't get it to launch as it did not configure itself to any program. I tried to launch it with VMware but get a syntax error.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but with no luck. It doesn't even create the Virtual Machines folder in the programs list like it says on the Microsoft website.
I have found it in 'C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode\Windows XP Mode base.vhd' but don't know what to do with it.
I have also tried to attach it as a disk in disk management but the computer says 'no'!

The Commisar's Art Critique: Zuma's Spear
By now anyone in South Africa without their head in the ground will have read about the controversial Brett Murray painting hanging limply (yes, I made that joke) in the Goodman Gallery in Joburg:
We can all understand why the ANC would be angry about the piece. I mean, the proportions are clearly WAY out, and I'm sure painting the Presidential member is always going to be a stiff issue amongst the ruling party.. Regardless, we're all missing the fundamental problem with Murray's work here. Place on the berets now…
… The majority of the painting is a crude copy of Lenin's infamous poster during the 1917 Revolution (the first image)
Now. If we ignore the main thrust of Murray's painting and focus on the other bits of the painting, there is a comparison, whether intentional or nay, to Lenin. I don't think anyone with a smidgen of political science rattling around in their heads would liken Zuma to Lenin. One was the grandfather of Soviet Communist ideology as we know it, united a people and a party, and was an architect for society numbering in the hundreds of millions, if not billions if we include China, and the other had a rape trial, married lots of women, divided his party and split the people along political battle lines. The comparison implied by Murray is quite simply horrid. Although I suppose there is an argument to be made that both were responsible for removing otherwise-indifferent heads of state by forceful politicking, but somehow I suspect during all the cock-and-balls painting Murray was not paying attention to that.
Forget taking it down because its audacity offends the ANC. Take it down because its ignorance offends history.

The Albany Common Council voted 9-4 to add trash fees to property owners of small apartment buildings.
"I don't necessarily think that it's going to affect my financials per day, but I would be passing along the fees to my tenants," said Anthony Catalano, an Albany property owner.
Mayor Kathy Sheehan's 2016 budget includes $1.5 million in revenue from landlords like Catalano paying for trash removal in two- to four-unit apartment buildings. On Monday night, after more than an hour of discussion, the common council voted the trash fees into law.
"And it is possible that the landlords are going to raise the rent, hopefully not at such extreme rates as we're hearing," said Council member Leah Goldby, who voted yes.
Under this new law, landlords of Albany apartment buildings with four or fewer units would have to pay $180 a year per unit for trash removal. Each building would get one free unit, which means single-family homes have no fees, and the highest fee would be $540 for four units.
This would mean an extra $15 a month per unit, and Common Council member Judd Krasher called the law "blatantly discriminatory" because he says it targets the poorest people in the city.
Common Council member Mark Robinson agreed and says it's his constituents in the Fifth Ward that can't afford this.
"I'd like one of my colleagues to stand up here and say 'I spoke to my constituents and they agreed that this trash tax should be passed,' " said Robinson. "I'm waitin' for one of you all to say that."

Last quote by Oleg Fomichev
It's true that it could be more difficult for the country to develop innovation when it has a permanent source of money from exportation of oil and gas, but it doesn't mean that we will not have innovation. First, the commodity sector itself now needs innovation much more than it ever has before, and also there are [in Russia] a lot of sectors that are not connected with oil and gas production and which work directly in the global markets. I mean the IT sector, which has shown double-digit annual growth in the last couple of years.feedback

Design and Implementation of Hardware Based Complementary Vector Reduction for System-on-Chip (SoC)
Increase in the circuit density results in increase in test data volume which parallelly increases testing time and also results in excessive memory requirements. Test compression plays very important role in test data volume reduction mechanism which will reduce the test size without disturbing the system performance. Test data volume reduction in most cases is concerned with the scan based logic. A different approach of using complementary vector for test data volume reduction is proposed. Complementary vector can be found by complementing single or the whole bits. The complementary vector used implies that the tests applied will be twice, once in its original form and in complementary form.

The matter is currently on the agenda for the City Council's meeting on WEDNESDAY, February 19, 2014 at 5:30 PM in the City Council Chambers, located on the 1st Floor of City Hall, 326 Pujo Street, Lake Charles.
CASAA strongly encourages vapers to call and email the members of the City Council.
- Smoking bans are enacted to protect the public from the harm of secondhand smoke, but e-cigarettes have not been shown to cause harm to bystanders. In fact, all evidence to date shows that the low health risks associated with e-cigarettes are comparable to other smokeless nicotine products.
- The low risks of e-cigarettes is supported by research done by Dr. Siegel of Boston University, Dr. Eissenberg of Virginia Commonwealth, Dr Maciej L Goniewicz of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Dr. Laugesen of Health New Zealand, Dr. Igor Burstyn of Drexel University, and by the fact that the FDA testing, in spite of its press statement, failed to find harmful levels of carcinogens or toxic levels of any chemical in the vapor.
- A comprehensive review conducted by Dr. Igor Burstyn of Drexel University School of Public Health based on over 9,000 observations of e-cigarette liquid and vapor found "no apparent concern" for bystanders exposed to e-cigarette vapor, even under "worst case" assumptions about exposure.
- Electronic cigarette use is easy to distinguish from actual smoking. Although some e-cigarettes resemble real cigarettes, many do not. It is easy to tell when someone lights a cigarette from the smell of smoke. E-cigarette vapor is practically odorless, and generally any detectable odor is not unpleasant and smells nothing like smoke. Additionally, e-cigarette users can decide whether to release any vapor ("discreet vaping"). With so little evidence of use, enforcing use bans on electronic cigarettes would be nearly impossible.
- The ability to use electronic cigarettes in public spaces will actually improve public health by inspiring other smokers to switch. Surveys of thousands of users indicate that the majority of those who switch completely replace tobacco cigarettes with the electronic cigarettes, reducing their health risks by an estimated 99%.
- By switching to a smokeless product, you have greatly reduced your health risks.
Contact Information for the City Manager and Members of the Lake Charles City Council:
You may prepare a single e-mail to all City Council members and send it to the following e-mail address: email@example.com

PlayStation 3 Firmware Update 2.50 adds Flash 9 Support
Slated for release tomorrow, PlayStation 3's upcoming 2.50 firmware includes support for Flash 9 via the console's Web browser alongside various changes.
Eurogamer has also been told that you'll be able to see optional EXIF (exchangeable image file format) information while viewing photos.

You can tell the PS3 to power down once it's finished downloading or installing content.
In-game screenshots can be taken in compatible games.
It enables high-quality mode for the official PS3 Bluetooth headset.
The Trophy interface has been improved, so you can see you and your friends' progress more easily.

text: Hi everybody, just a lurker here that has learned a lot about the lawn care business in the last year from this site. Here's our story briefly. My husband and I bought a lawn care biz from his brother in May of last year. We live in a small town in TX (pop 2300) 15 miles away from a 100,000+ pop city. My husband works full time and we just do lawn care in the evenings and weekends. We absolutely love it, but a dream job/dream house opportunity is in the works and we need to sell because we won't have time to do everything that we have now. I am just looking for a fair price for everything we have, not looking to make a killing. If anyone has suggestions, please help. Here is a list of everything: 04 Chev Z71, loaded, 71,000 miles 14 foot trailer, gates on end and side, weedeater rack 05 Gravely 148Z 615 hrs 1986 Snapper 48" walk-behind, 423 hrs 33" Cub Cadet walk behind 18.5 hrs (bought '08) Honda 21" self propelled variable speed Stihl HT100 pole saw MS290 Stihl chain saw Echo hedge trimmers, 2 echo weedeaters, echo blade edger Stihl blower vac(new 08), echo blower(new 08) Roundup backpack sprayer Don't really have any contracts, but about 40 + loyal customers (some weekly, some 10 days, some 2 weeks -we are pretty easy, but we will charge more the taller it is, so people have learned not to let it become a jungle and then call us!) If I can find someone trustworthy and dependable to buy this, I am pretty sure I can convince most of our people to stay. A lot of the yards are here in town, so pretty easy to get to and no time and gas expense hauling the trailer around. Any and all advice appreciated. Thanks!

Japan is known as being the home of some of the world's most famous camera producers, and the Japanese people themselves have a reputation of being avid photographers.
The First Photo in Japan
The first camera to ever arrive in Japan was in 1848, imported by the Dutch to Nagasaki, the only nation that was allowed to trade with the country during the Edo period. Interestingly enough, the very first photo taken not only in Japan, but also by a Japanese person was that of a samurai – Shimazu Nariakira, to be specific, who would later on become a feudal lord of the Satsuma Domain, today's Kagoshima Prefecture. This photography was, in fact, a daguerreotype, one of the earliest forms of fixed image photography, and it can still be admired today in a museum in Kagoshima.
Interested in this new technology, studies were conducted surrounding the art of photography in and around Nagasaki but it wasn't until 1862 when the first Japanese photo studios opened, focusing on portraits and heralding a long and intense area of Japanese photography.
From Professionals to Hobbyists
It did not take long for photography to take off, not only as a genuine profession but also as a hobby once cameras became accessible to the general public. While creative photography besides photojournalism was banned during World War II, the Japanese photography scene was revived in post-war Japan in the same way that contemporary arts experienced a large creativity boom. Nikon, for example, was founded in 1917 but their now-famous camera did not hit the global market until the '50s in the wake of the Japanese economy boom. For decades, Nikon cameras were the standard of professional photographers all over the world.
Around the '90s, another now well-known camera giant emerged: Japan's Canon, entering a rather fierce competition with other manufacturers, including Nikon. Even today, these two names rank among the most reputable in the world of photography.
Japanese Photography Art
Especially after the war, photography has become one of Japan's most popular ways of artistic expression, both on a hobby scale as well as professionally. Throughout the decades, a lot of well-known photographers have made their mark in the art, from the intentionally blurry, rushed snapshot style of the post-war decades to the non-conformity of today's artists.
One rather famous example of modern photography is Haruhiko Kawaguchi, or Photographer Hal. He gained international fame with his project Flesh Love which is about couples sealed tightly into vacuum bags, sometimes without clothes, sometimes fully dressed. The photographic results are both uncomfortable and mesmerizingly beautiful.
Another internationally acclaimed photographer and director from Japan is Mika Ninagawa. Her photography is all about the vividness of colors, often paired with Japan's rich traditional culture. She is a well-established name in Japan, having shot music videos for several Japanese artists.
Discovering Photography
The first museum in Japan to be dedicated entirely to the art of photography is the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, first opened in 1986. Ever since then, it keeps shining the spotlight on the works of both well-established and promising (not exclusively) Japanese artists, just a short walk away from Tokyo's Ebisu Station. The exhibitions change regularly and the museum also features a library that collects various materials related to photography and visual imaging. When setting out on the journey to discover the rich and fascinating world of Japanese photography, this is certainly a great place to start.

Staff Picks: 5 Favorite Songs Of The Week Vol. 17
This week's staff picks includes a new remix from RL Grime and Salva, a track from Jack U's new album, and a track that sounds like disco on speed. In addition to this, we've thrown in a sexy cover of "Stop This Train" and a catchy track from Spinnin' Records.
Skyfall (RL Grime & Salva Remix) - Travi$ Scott (Ft. Young Thug)
This free download gives a nice electro spin to Travi$ Scott and Young Thug's original hip-hop banger. With the combination of RL Grime and Salva, this "Skyfall" remix just continues to highlight the talent of these trap lords.
Skrillex and Diplo - Jungle Bae (Feat. Bunji Garlin)
Off of Skrillex and Diplo's debut "Jack U" album, this is one of many fantastic tracks from the project. Although it was hard to just select five of my favorite tracks off this album, 'Jungle Bae' was selected because of the way it truly celebrates the merging of both producers very distinct and different sounds.
Kryder & The Wulf - Good Vibes (Original Mix)
Spinnin' Records released this Kryder & The Wulf single that is all kinds of bouncey. Combining old school vocals with a big room spin to the way they are sampled, "Good Vibes" is intense and also insanely catchy.
DJ Mastercard - Cryogenics Feat. 4J LTE
DJ Mastercard speeds up the pace for a "jukewave" type single taking us back to the disco-era while reminding us how fast feet can actually shuffle. Featuring 4J LTE, "Cryogenics" thaws out the discotheque vibe with a "Work" vocal sample that can be likened to your modern day hype man. This is definitely a song to sprint to.

I'll just let oshi speak for oshi:
