There is still so much more fun to be had once the ski lifts have closed… There are numerous activities to explore in resort after a day's skiing and here at Iglu we have tried and tested plenty of winter attractions and events to recommend only the best for you.
Probably the most fun on snow you can have without skis! Toboggan down the longest track in France and revel in the spectacular views, hilarious moments and adrenaline rushes down the 6km run. From an altitude of 3000m at the Péclet glacier, it's a 45 minute decent of sliding entertainment through varied slopes and raised bends. A fun filled family activity suitable for everyone from 5 years old.
Enjoy an unforgettable winter activity through pristine Canadian backcounty. See the slopes from a different angle & ride your very own skidoo through fresh powder or head into the remote wilderness with a professional guide. Scenic tours are a great introduction to the backcountry through tree-lined tracks and extraordinary landscapes.
The St. Moritz Polo World Cup on Snow is the world's most prestigious winter polo tournament. Nearly 15,000 spectators from every corner of the world make the pilgrimage to Lake St Moritz every year. It is the social highlight in St. Moritz where the World Cup has been held every year since 1985. Don't miss the next tournament 29 Jan – 01 Feb 2015!!
Experience high speeds up to 115km/h in a professional Olympic bobsleigh. This once in a life time activity will leave your adrenaline pumping for days after. Choose from the Guest bobsled where you can reach speeds of up to 90 km/h through the 800m long ice track, or unleash your inner dare devil and take the driven taxi bob and hit 115km/h over the 1270m ice track. Just don't forget your lucky egg!
Les Arcs has reinvented this traditional activity of being pulled along on your skis by a horse across all types of terrain. Originating in Scandinavia, competitive ski Joering is practiced all over the world. A series of forest trails in Les Arcs have been transformed into over 20km of Ski Joering routes in a natural environment of rare beauty.

Our friends at SnowAngel have put together a great blog looking at the top aprés ski bars for a 3pm beer. As a site dedicated to visiting, reviewing and sharing the best venues in the Alps and North America, they boast a pedigree of knowledge that even AJ, our Sales Director, would approve of. So, here are SnowAngel's best bars for a sunny 3pm beer...
We stumbled upon Pano Bar in Les Deux Alps accidentally about two years ago, just before we took the last run of the day, and believe us when we say there's no way you'll miss it. You might have to weave your way through a sea of boards and skis to get to it, but it's totally worth it. This is Ibiza-style après, expect two for one beers, a DJ, some serious raving and even the odd topless dancer. By 5pm you'll be locked and loaded and ready for your last run of the day — a black run — back down into resort! Our tip — get there for 3pm to get a table — you'll be dancing on top of it by 5! If you're feeling a bit shaky you can always slide your way back down to the resort.
Now, Austria has a firm place in our hearts for its après scene, and if you happen to be in Lech this season, then you should definitely head to the Balmalp. This place has panoramic views of the mountains, which you can enjoy from the huge sun terrace. Enjoy a Bombardier while you listen to the resident DJ spin the tunes until way after 7pm most days. If you don't mind a bit of night skiing then you can ski back to resort once you're all après-ed out. Leave late enough and the steady blue back into resort will have already been bashed, so it's as good as the first early bird run of the day — what's not to like about that! If you've indulged in a little too much glühwein, the owner will take you home on his skidoo — if you ask nicely!
A few of the Iglu team enjoying the Pano Bar in Les Deux Alps.
Now, if we think about Jack Wills, onesies and Jägerbombs, then the Mooserwirt in St Anton is never far from our minds. Attracting a mixed crowd, but definitely a firm favourite with the uni crowds, this place really needs no introduction. The music gets pumped through the speakers on to the sun terrace and it's as lively inside as it is out, on a blue sky day. The waiters carry impossible numbers of pints on trays around with them, so you can just grab one and pay, no queuing at the bar here — genius! And they'll bring you Jägerbombs if you ask nicely too. It's heaving here by three so, if you're in a group and want a table we recommend settling in from lunch time.
Meribel's has been firmly on the après map for as long as we can remember, with more and more Brits flocking here year on year. If you're heading here, do not leave without paying Le Rond Point a visit. The sun terrace is always jam packed and there's live music most days and the obligatory happy hour of course!
Tucked away on the main street in Morzine, Bar Robinson serves one beer, and one beer only. And it's no ordinary lager, this bad boy is 7.3%! The owners of the bar, two ladies and a gent all over 70, recommend you drink by the half pint. And you really should take heed, because this stuff is rocket fuel. Not that you'll have time to settle in until last orders, as the bar closes at 8pm.
If posh is your thing, then where else would you be heading this season but Verbier. It's refined here, but don't expect the après to be any less raucous. We'd recommend heading to Le Carrefour and the Wax bar, they're next to each other and you can ski back down into resort. It gets busy though, so get there early if you're looking for a table. If you're feeling flush order champagne on ice and a kangaroo steak.
The Folie Douce in Val d'Isere is a regular haunt of ours.
When angels ski, we are always in the market for a bit of sunshine, and with an average of 300 days of sunshine a year, it's safe to say Serre Chevalier is pretty sun-sure. And if it's sunny then a huge terrace is always the order of the day. La Grotte in Villeneuve is the place to head straight from the slopes. You'll get the last rays of sunshine and there's a different happy hour every day. If you get a little bit too comfortable, then don't worry its just as busy later in the evening with theme nights, DJs, live music and games.
Pas de la Casa is probably more famed for its nightlife than it is for its skiing — they really know how to party here. At the hub of the action, the Milwaukee is the resort's largest bar with a two-for-one happy hour which kicks off when the slopes close. If you're a sports fan then there's a big screen and Sky Sports here too, as well as live music and pretty good food to boot.
Last, but by no means least, we couldn't talk about straight from the slopes après ski without mentioning La Folie Douce in Val d'Isere. This is possibly our favourite place in the world to après, DJs, a live sax player and champagne galore. There's nothing understated about this ski hut. Head here at about 3pm if you want to grab a table as by 4pm you won't get a look in. It really is the Rolls Royce of après ski!

"I was so impressed with the way Laura handled my initial call that as soon as I got home I decided to forget all of the other agents and companies and call her straight back and book the holiday. Thank you again Iglu for being so user friendly and more importantly thank you to Laura for being such an asset to your company and the sales profession."

I was referred to Dr. Noie by my sister. She has been going to him for a long time and has always raved about how accomplished and great Dr. Noie is. A few months ago one of my back bridges came out and my old dentist informed me that the back post tooth is badly decayed and can't be saved.

About Safer Neighbourhoods
Safer Neighbourhoods Teams work with a wide range of people, communities and partners, to tackle and solve crime and anti-social behaviour issues that affect local communities.
The teams are dedicated to the needs of a specific neighbourhood, with the policing priorities for that area decided in partnership with local stakeholders - the public, crime and disorder reduction partnerships, local authorities and other local organisations.
Teams also include a Dedicated Ward Officer and PCSO in every ward who is the local link for the wider neighbourhood team.
This means local communities get a real say in deciding the priorities for the area in which they live, allowing the police to provide long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining a focus on reducing crime.
Safer Neighbourhoods Teams work closely with and draw assistance from other borough based officers including:
- Emergency response and patrol teams; who respond to urgent calls and disorder as well as undertaking targeted patrols to prevent crime
- CID teams; who investigate serious crimes
- Community Safety Units; who address issues such as hate crime and domestic violence, looking after some of the most vulnerable victims.
We are making further improvements to how we do things, to make sure local officers are on duty and out in the communities when you want to see them.
On Monday, 23 February 2015 we published our review into neighbourhood policing, you can read the full report on our publications scheme page (see related links for details).

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska's director of agriculture will travel to China this week to take part in a workshop that could lead to new investments in agriculture-product processing centers, Gov. Dave Heineman announced Monday.
Nebraska agriculture director to visit China
Department of Agriculture director Greg Ibach will visit Beijing for the Friday event, designed to strengthen U.S.-China trade relations.
Heineman said Nebraska was the only U.S. state invited to present at the workshop, which is coordinated by the Paulson Institute. The institute, led by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, focuses on economic and environmental issues.
Ibach said he will argue that Nebraska is best location in the Midwest for Chinese businesses to set up processing centers for food, bioenergy and other raw commodities. He said Nebraska is well-positioned because it sits on the western edge of the corn belt — closer to Pacific shipping routes that lead to China.
Ibach said he will talk about the state's history as a "reliable, efficient, large-scale producer of high-quality agricultural goods," as well as highlight the surge of new farming and ranching technology. Nebraska also remains committed to agriculture research and development through the University of Nebraska and private firms, he said.

A planter formed of an open top box having a platform supported within and above the bottom of the box. A generally flat, horizontally arranged bag, containing a plant growing filler material rests upon the platform and substantially covers the open top of the box so that the box provides a liquid reservoir beneath the platform. A capillary type wick sheet arranged upon the platform and having a portion extending downwardly into the reservoir flows water, through capillary action, to the filler which may be exposed to the sheets through openings formed in the bag. A frame extends around the bag and is supported upon the box to extend the height of the box for appearance purposes, as well as to protect and contain the edges of the bag. Plants may be grown in the filler material through appropriate openings formed in the upper surface of the bag.
1. A planter comprising:
an open top, generally flat, box-like container having a closed bottom and upstanding walls, said container adapted for use as a reservoir for holding liquid, such as water and aqueous solutions of plant fertilizers and nutrients and the like;
a substantially horizontally arranged platform positioned within the container and having support means holding the platform a considerable distance above the bottom of the container, a water impervious plastic bag-liner closely fitted within said container against its bottom and upstanding walls to hold liquid within the container, and said support means comprising a relatively stiff sheet of cardboard-like material having a base portion closely arranged within the container against the plastic bag-like liner to hold the liner against the container bottom and said support means having spaced apart peaks bent up from the base portion for supporting said platform and said support means having bent up end flaps formed on its opposite ends for holding portions of the liner against their adjacent container wall surfaces;
a roughly flat generally horizontally arranged bag of a size to substantially cover the open top of the container, with the bag being pre-filled with a plant growing filler material, such as peat moss, soil compositions and the like;
with said bag being positioned upon and thereby supported by said platform considerably above the bottom of the container while substantially covering the open top of the container, and an upper, box-like frame of approximately the size of said container, said frame supported upon the platform support means and extending a distance above the container for surrounding the sides and ends of said bag;
a capillary type wicking sheet means arranged upon the platform beneath the filler material and having a portion extending beneath the platform into the container for capillary flowing liquid from the container to the filler material; and
with the exposed upper surface of the bag being adapted to be perforated for receiving plants, whereby the roots of the plants extend within the filler material and are watered by the capillary flow.
2. A planter as defined in claim 1, and said bag being formed of a thin plastic sheet material and having a number of openings formed in the bag lower surface for transmitting the liquid from the container to the bottom portion of said filler material.
3. A planter as defined in claim 2, and said wicking sheet means substantially covering the bottom surface of the bag and having a portion extending downwardly from the bag into the reservoir forming portion of the container.
4. A planter as defined in claim 1, and said platform being fastened to the bottom of said frame and being spaced from at least one wall of the frame a sufficient distance to permit the wicking sheet means to extend through the space into the reservoir forming portion of the container.
5. A planter as defined in claim 4, and said frame fitting within the walls of the container so that its lower edges are telescoped within the container, wherein the frame and bag may be packaged within the container for storage and shipping.
Planter boxes are commonly used for growing various types of plants in locations which do not otherwise have soil of suitable quality or quantity. Typically, these planters are used to grow plants in or around buildings, as for example, in living or working areas in buildings, or on balconies, roof tops, decks or the like. Planter boxes are also used in small, home-type greenhouses or similar structures designed for growing plants. Conventional planter boxes ordinarily comprise an open top box-like container within which a quantity of plant growing material is placed. The plant growing material commonly is formed of ordinary dirt, with fertilizer mixes, or peat-moss or the like.
Frequently, after the plants have matured, and replanting is desired, the soil material is no longer of sufficient quality to permit reuse. For example, it may contain roots, and other debris, insects and plant disease microorganisms, and may have its natural or added fertilizer content depleted, etc. Thus, it may be desirable, for these and other reasons, to replace the plant growing filler material from time to time, particularly at each new planting. This presents a messy disposal problem where these planters are used within homes or in other locations where it is not convenient to simply overturn the planter to dump out the contents. Moreover, it may be difficult to handle or move an entire planter box and its contents to a suitable location for dumping.
Conventional planter boxes must be regularly watered, as required, in order to promote the plant growth and preserve the plants. However, the watering requirement is frequently overlooked by the planter owners, particularly at times when they may be away from the premises within which the planter is located. Frequently, plants are given either too much water or too little water. In addition, because of evaporation losses or rapid plant root water absorption, planters tend to be too dry between regular waterings, which adversely affects the plant growth. Thus, it would be desirable to have a more automatic or regular plant watering system available.
In the case of commercial greenhouses, various types of watering systems have been provided. One type includes the use of wicking materials for providing water through capillary action from a reservior to the bottoms of flower pots or similar types of plant containers. Although this kind of wicking material has been used in commercial plant growing operations, such as in greenhouses, it has not previously been practical for conventional types of planters.
Consequently, the invention herein relates to an improved planter construction which simplifies the watering of plants and the handling of the plant growing filler materials.
The invention herein contemplates forming a planter having an open top planter box, with a platform arranged near the upper, open end of the box in order to provide a liquid reservoir beneath the platform. The required soil type filler material is packaged within a large bag, which is relatively flattened and is arranged to substantially completely cover the open top of the planter box and rest upon the platform. Water is supplied to the filler material by means of a capillary type wick sheet which is arranged upon the platform, beneath the bag, with a portion extending into the liquid filling the box so that, through capillary action, the liquid automatically feeds from the reservoir into the filler material. The bag is provided with appropriate openings or passageways which permit physical contact between the filler material and wick sheet so the liquid may pass into and be absorbed by the filler.
Slits formed in the upper surface of the bag provides access openings through which seeds or small plants may be planted and through which the plants may grow. The bag itself is protected and confined by means of a frame which surrounds the bag and is supported upon the planter box.
The platform may be formed as a bottom section or portion of the frame, with openings between the platform and the frame walls through which portions of the wick sheet may pass. The platform, with the attached frame, is thus supported within the planter box.
In order to simplify the construction, the planter box may be formed of a wood or other material which is not necessarily liquid or water impervious. Thus, a plastic bag-like water impervious lining may be inserted within the planter box and this is held in place by means of a stiff sheet of cardboard-like material which extends across the bottom floor of the planter box to hold the liner down, with flaps on the opposite ends of the sheet pressing the sides of the liner against the walls of the box. The same sheet may have bent up peaks formed for providing the support means to hold the platform, with the frame, well above the bottom floor of the box.
Consequently, the invention contemplates being able to fill the box from time to time, with water or a water solution containing fertilizer and other nutrients, and then permitting the capillary action of the wick sheet to automatically feed the water or solution, in the amount needed, to the filler. Because the bag substantially covers the open top of the box, evaporation is limited, although the bag may be moved aside, along its edges, for easily refilling the reservoir forming box.
One object of this invention is to provide a simplified system for handling the plant growth filler. Thus, by utilizing a bag for containing all of the filler, such as a peat-moss or a soil-like mixture, the filler can be handled as a unit for positioning within and removing from the planter for use and for disposal when the filler is to be replaced. The bag may be slit at its upper surface, for receipt of plants, and at its lower surfaces for passage of the water into the filler. This eliminates the usual mess of filling and refilling planter boxes.
Another object of this invention is to provide a filler system which substantially reduces water evaporation from the filler material and from the reservoir which stores the water for transmittal to the filler.
An additional object of this invention is to provide a greater control over the rate and volume of water feed, by means of a wick type feed system, which automatically operates for extended periods of time without attention. Water is continuously supplied from the reservoir at a rate which generally corresponds to the demand of the filler for water to replenish water which is used up by the plants or by the limited amount of evaporation.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a simplified planter box arrangement which can be easily packaged, stored and shipped with minimum space requirements. The planter may be assembled, without the use of tools or mechanical knowledge or abilities, for immediate use within a home or other confined planting area.
These and other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent upon reading the following description, of which the attached drawings form a part.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional elevational view of the planter box herein.
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional elevational view of the planter box shown in nested position, that is, packaged for handling and shipment or storage.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, cross sectional elevational view of a fragment of the planter box.
FIG. 4 is a plan view, to a reduced scale, showing the bottom of the plant filler bag.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the various parts which make up the complete planter unit, showing the parts aligned for assembly.
Referring to the drawings, the planter box includes a lower boxlike container 10. This container has side walls 11, end walls 12, and a closed base or floor 13. The container may be made of wood, such as plywood pieces or boards or combinations of these, or other suitable, rigid sheet material. Preferably, the walls are angled, relative to the vertical, to provide a sloping visual effect.
A frame 15 is arranged at the upper, open top of the container. This frame is likewise formed of side walls 16, end walls 17, and a partial base or floor 18. The walls are sloped, corresponding to the angle of slope of the box-like container. The base 18 forms a platform which is fastened to the bottom of the frame and is spaced away from the end walls (see FIG. 5). Alternatively, the base may be spaced from the side walls.
Preferably, the frame is made of a size and shape so as to nest within the box, as illustrated in FIG. 2, when the planter is not in use. Thus, the planter may be compacted, by nesting the parts, for storage and shipment and the like. The frame may be made of wood strips, such as boards or of plywood, with the walls preferably formed to match the appearance of the walls of the box so as to give an overall attractive appearance to the planter.
The bag 20 may be formed of a thin gauge, flexible, plastic material, such as sheet polyethylene material or the like. The bag is filled with a plant growth filler material 21, such as peat-moss, soil with or without peat-moss mixed in etc., Fertilizer materials can also be mixed in. The filler material 21 may vary, depending upon the locally available material, costs, and the nature of the plants to be grown within the planter. The bag is relatively flat, when laid horizontally and is of the size and shape to substantially cover the open, upper end of the box-like container 10, and to substantially fill the frame 15.
For growing plants within the bag, a number of slits 22 may be cut in the bag upper surface. Either small plants or seeds may be inserted through the slits. Thus, the plants 23 grow upwardly, through the slits or openings in the bag, while their roots 24 spread out within the filler material 21.
In order to waterproof the box-like container to provide a reservoir for the water or water-fertilizer mixture, a thin plastic inner liner 25 is applied within the container. This liner, may be shaped like an open top bag or tray and it may be made of thin gauge plastic sheet material such as polyethylene.
A relatively stiff, cardboard like sheet 30 is shaped to hold the liner in place within the container and also to form the support means for the platform, tray and bag. Thus, the sheet is formed with a base portion 31 which rests upon the bottom of the liner 25 to hold the liner against the floor or base 13 of the container. Bent up end flaps 32 on the sheet clamp the walls of the liner against the walls of the container.
The sheet is also provided with bent up peaks 33, which are inverted V-shapes. At least two of such peaks are provided. More peaks may be provided, if necessary, to add structural strength. These peaks function as the support means upon which the platform of base 18 of the frame is rested.
The planter box may be made of a water impervious material, such as of plastic. In that case, the liner 25 may be omitted and likewise the end flaps 32 on sheet 30, may be omitted.
A capillary type wicking sheet 35 is laid over the platform 18. The end portions 36 of this sheet extend downwardly into the container through the spaces between the opposite ends of the platform and the adjacent end walls of the frame. Commercially available capillary type wicking sheets may be used. This material functions to feed liquid, through capillary action, along its length. Such commercially available materials typically are formed of felted or nonwoven fabric made of numerous natural or synthetic fibers which are adhered together.
Openings 37, cut into the lower surface of the bag 20, permit the passage of fluid from the wicking sheet into the filler material to provide the moisture needed for plant growth.
Referring to FIG. 2, the various parts are packaged together by nesting the frame within the box-like container. The bag is then positioned within the frame along with the other elements which make up the planter. Thus, the planter may be shipped as a nested package.
When the purchaser takes the planter to his home or building for use, the various parts are separated. Then, the sheet 30, which may be prescored along fold lines, is folded to provide the end flaps and peaks. The liner 25 is inserted within the box-like container and the sheet 30 is positioned so that its base portion 31 holds the liner down and its end flaps hold the ends of the liner in place against the walls of the container.
Next, the frame is place upon the box-like container with its base or platform 18 rested upon the peaks. Then the wicking sheet is laid over the platform and water is poured over it to thoroughly wet or "prime" the sheet. Thereafter, the bag is positioned upon the platform, after forming the openings in the lower surface of the bag for the passage of fluid from the wicking sheets to the filler material.
Slits may be cut in the upper surface of the bag through which the plants or seeds are inserted for growth. Next, the box-like container is filled with liquid 40 which may consist only of water, or of a water-fertilizer mixture or the like. Thus, the container forms a reservoir which may contain sufficient liquid for a long period of time, such as a number of days or weeks. It is also desirable to add water to the filler through the upper surface slits before the plants or seeds are inserted.
The watering of the filler material and the plants is automatically accomplished through the capillary action of the wicking sheet 35. By using an appropriately selected wicking sheet material the rate of flow of water to the filler can be closely approximated to the loss of free water from the filler. To a considerable extent, the filler moisture content controls the rate of water replenishment to provide a demand or a need type of self-watering system.
When it is desired to replace the filler material, the user may simply remove the entire bag and dispose of it. The bag is then replaced with a new bag containing new filler material without any mess.
As can be seen, the construction of the various parts which make up the planter is very simple and inexpensive. Readily available materials are used, such as the wood, plastic sheets, etc. Significantly, the parts are easily handled and assembled by an inexperienced, unskilled person, without the need for any tools. Hence, the planter is immediately usable, when desired, without difficulty or time consuming assembly.

The advertising and PR student shares her name with a soccer coach. The more well-known McLeish was fired this week after narrowly avoiding relegation with Aston Villa in the Premier League.
As is the norm, people were quick to poke fun at the coach on Twitter. However, they mentioned the wrong Alex McLeish in their tweets.
"You're gonna get sacked in the morning! Ginger shit,why you got a girls picture as your picture you sick freak," John Davis wrote .
"You got sacked if you didn't know already," James Claytor added.
"You did deserve to be sacked, a hopeless manager #notgotaclue," wrote the unintentionally ironic Michael Duffy.
The target of their tweets was quick to respond to their comments, though.
"I am Alex Mcleish the girl, not the football manager. Random guys stop tweeting me telling me I just got fired!" the part-time retail worker wrote.
As news of the case of mistaken identity spread, the younger McLeish's follower numbers grew from 100 to almost 1,000.
She claimed not to be too bothered by some of the comments she was receiving, but she added, "[I] really wish I understood football so I could get more of the jokes."
McLeish is slightly concerned, however, about some of the side effects that the incident might have on her:
"What if river island saw this as bad publicity & fired me ? How bad would you all feel?"
Once the game was up, the tweets mocking the coach using the @alxmclsh handle died down a little. Yet some, such as Robert Thomas, thought that the student might actually have a future in soccer.
"She'd probably have a better chance of getting [Aston Villa] into Europe than the [McLeish the team] just sacked."

Great follow up to the first, improving upon its original concept 0
If you haven't gotten this game, get it. Many of the flaws of the old game were fixed and what wasn't broken got a cementing and some new features to further richen the experience. It just feels like this generation's Final Fantasy VII in every way, save graphics and gameplay, the latter being better than the Playstation RPG. One of the most noticeable parts of the game is the gameplay. Like most Square Enix games, you'll embark on a perilous quest to in the end save the world.

Kingdom Hearts II was a good follow up. 0
Don't let my review fool you, I did enjoy Kingdom Hearts II, but there was to much about it that annoyed me. They tried to make the game more complex, in the end it was still a button masher. The story was interesting, but it was completely slowed down by all the side worlds. The game was shorter than the first and not even as fun. I rarely had to use magic and I didn't even use a Summon once.

King Hearts 2: I am not impressed 1
Before I write this review, let me make it clear that Kingdom Hearts is by far, one of the coolest things I have ever seen. They mixed JRPs (which I hate), Final Fantasy (WHICH I REALLY HATE), and Disney (which I get bored of easily) and made those three things into something awesome. That's the first game in the series. Now this "second" (third, actually) game came to me as an enormous "ergh".

Kingdom Hearts 2 as with all Square RPG's, was well made, fun, and enjoyable. The main thing stopping it from getting 5 stars were a few key components that simply detracted tremendously for the game experience.Anybody who's played the game will tell you that the beginning is perhaps one of the worst in video game history. For the first 2-3 hours, you play as a nondescript character named Roxas, going through what is essentially one long tutorial.

As someone who was extremely disappointed with Kingdom Hearts, I wasn't expecting much with this sequel.

Product description
Neurological patients, Oliver Sacks once wrote, are travellers to unimaginable lands. An Anthropologist on Mars offers portraits of seven such travellers - including a surgeon consumed by the compulsive tics of Tourette's syndrome unless he is operating; an artist who loses all sense of color in a car accident, but finds a new sensibility and creative power in black and white; and an autistic professor who cannot decipher the simplest social exchange between humans, but has built a career out of her intuitive understanding of animal behavior. These are paradoxical tales, for neurological disease can conduct one to other modes of being that - however abnormal they may be to our way of thinking - may develop virtues and beauties of their own. The exploration of these individual lives is not one that can be made in a consulting room or office, and Sacks has taken off his white coat and deserted the hospital, by and large, to join his subjects in their own environments. He feels, he says, in part like a neuroanthropologist, but most of all like a physician, called here and there to make house calls, house calls at the far border of experience. Along the way, he shows us a new perspective on the way our brains construct our individual worlds. In his lucid and compelling reconstructions of the mental acts we take for granted - the act of seeing, the transport of memory, the notion of color - Oliver Sacks provokes anew a sense of wonder at who we are.

While searching for the source of the phrase "The things you own end up owning you," mistakenly thinking it was a riff on Buddhist wisdom but discovering it's actually a line from Fight Club, a movie that suggests we all wear leather pants, I discovered this "Digital Buddhist Jukebox in Tibetan" that plays five different Tibetan chants from its built-in lotus speaker or over headphones. It's $4, shipped, from DealExtreme. Teresa had actually pointed these out before the last time we mentioned DealExtreme, but I didn't pay attention. Sorry!

Ooh – I have one of those (mine's from Hong Kong and chants in ) and isn't quite as pretty. I find it very relaxing, but my husband has threatened to throw it out of the window.
Shining Path Buddhists (and other groups) use these chanting machines for general meditation, but especially at times of sickness and death. An elderly Chinese friend of mine died of cancer last year, and had a chanting machine running constantly for her last days – it was kept going alongside the body after she had died, apparently to help her spirit on its journey, and was also used at the cremation ceremony. I'm not a Buddhist, but I found the repetition very comforting (then again, I like Steve Reich) – other people in my family found it quite disturbing.
That was meant to say 'in Chinese', not 'in [[closing bracket]]'. Oops.
Cool! The ambient/experimental group FM3 was inspired by these boxes to make their own version, the Buddha Machine, which was probably mentioned on BoingBoing when it came out. I have one — they're quite nice. I like leaving it in different parts of the room on low volume.
I think it was La Rochefoucauld that said "All that we possess, possesses us."
Ah, ya beat me to it, Dan. But isn't FM3 just one dude, Tristan Perich, who works primarily in 4-bit audio? Or am I thinking of something different?
The old ones weren't as pretty, either. =1 I predict these will become the newest fashion trend on Rodeo Drive now, and all the classiest celebrities will carry them at Sundance this week,
i've bought one of these from dealextreme. the fm3 boxes are much better (different things, i know). this device only seems to have enough memory onboard for a minute of sound, and each of the 5 "songs" is only a few seconds long, maybe a sentence or two of tibetan, looped continuously.
I have one of the FM3 boxes from a couple years ago. Interesting project. Just a few days ago I got one of the chant boxes with the lighted animated display. After taking it apart to get the motor running, it works fine. Cheap as you might imagine, but pretty unusual all the same. With the volume turned down, and an AC adapter, it might make a small eye catching decoration for the living room.
FM3 is actually two guys. i have their buddha machine, and a couple "real" ones, too. they are all quite fascinating. i wish i had one that chants in tibetan, and looked as nice as the one pictured, though. but i can't spend $4 on such a thing right now.
@5 License Farm
Tristian Perch did the "one-Bit music" built into a CD case
Also I just got and idea of making a machine like the ones described, but with dub-reggae music.
Or how about industrial sounds?
feel free to steal my ideas
If you search DE for Buddha, and Buddhist, it brings up more of these.
