Things to do on our China trip
March 18, 2010
We're visiting China (Shanghai, Beijing and Tai Shan) for a couple of weeks at the start of April. Any suggestions for things to do?
So my girlfriend and I are going to China in a couple of weeks. Our itinerary is: Shanghai for a few days, then by train to Tai Shan, then Beijing for a week.
Our plans include the Summer Palace, the Bund, the Great Wall and the top of Tai Shan. Other than that, we're not sure. Any ideas? Especially things that are interesting but not the big tourist attractions.
Us: we're both Australians around 30. I'm interested in eating strange and unusual things (obviously I will try Beijing duck in Beijing, as it's likely to be a bit better than you can get here in Canberra). She's a vegetarian who hates fake meat, though, so if there are any good non-fake-meat vegetarian restaurants around that would be nice to know.
Fortunately, she speaks Mandarin (at what she describes as a good conversational level, although a bit rusty). She's also lived in China for a while, including in Beijing, although that was several years ago and everything is probably different now. My knowledge of Chinese is limited to being able to guess what the occasional sign or menu item says based on a rudimentary knowledge of Japanese kanji (i.e. I will be relying on English).
I've read some of the previous going-to-China AskMes, but the ones I could find are all a few years old so I thought I'd ask again. Thanks!

Best Chinese-style vegetarian restaurant in Beijing is
for my money. They do the fake meat stuff but also plenty of down-home cuisine that's not just substitutes.
One thing to catch in Beijing that you perhaps won't see in the guidebooks is some of the contemporary art museums. I did some translation for one I hadn't heard of before, the
Today Art Museum
; popped by to give them the document only to find it's a massive newish gallery complex with some interesting displays. Then there's the well-known 798 District.

If you want to see a little throwback to the cultural revolution and you are into militaria, take the subway to the
Military Museum
. It's a little surreal in its anachronistic contrast to modern, materialistic Beijing.
Beijing has plenty of actual vegetarian places (go figure in a largely Buddhist country, but fish is often considered "vegetarian" so be ware). For decent, vegetarian fare with a cheap buffet, look

Thanks for the answers so far - I particularly like the look of the toy shop.
I should have mentioned that one of the things I'm looking forward to is finding an interesting part of the city and just walking around for hours, looking at things rather than having any particular destination in mind. I used to do this in Tokyo and it was great fun. 798 District sounds like a really good place for this; any others?

Wandering places in Shanghai: Yu Garden/Old Town area, French Concession, Hongkou to the south of Duolun Rd.
Shanghai's not a great place for tourism. For people without any real specific interests, I usually recommend the
Frommer's Shanghai in One/Two/Three Day(s)
guide, which hits the basics pretty well. Even though you say you're not interested in the big attractions (and yet the Bund is the only thing on your list?), for a first visit to Shanghai it'll give you a good feel for the city.
Also, if you're interested in a reading preview of the city I recommend
Hanchao Lu's Beyond the Neon Lights
for a good historical view of Shanghai as the common people lived it back during the Concession era. A lot of people like to hype the city's glamorous and scandalous past, but I prefer this Howard-Zinn-type history for its down-to-earth populist angle.

When I lived in China in 2007, I sometimes enjoyed walking around Nanluoguxiang. It's a long street (neighborhood?) with a bunch of hutongs. Some interesting people-watching and hip stores. No idea what it's like now. A few backpacker hostels and the requisite mediocre bars. But, the surrounding blocks are interesting, and worth a wander. Also not far from Houhai Lake, which is lovely.
If you want you can also visit the Olympic complex, I think. It's maybe a 30 minute subway ride from city center.
For a shocking modern commercial experience go to Wangfujing and go inside some of the malls.
For a vegetarian you've got to hit a hot soy milk joint for breakfast. Sweet or salty, with lots of super-fried delights, like 'you tiao'. The milk is called 'do jang'. Street breakfast food is also delish.

I was in Shanghai a few years ago on business and thoroughly enjoyed The Bund, especially at night. If you can deal with the constant come-ons from vendors (and prostitutes), Nanjing Road, also at night, is a great place for photography. Lots of Blade-Runner style towering neon signs. I thought the Shanghai Museum was also pretty interesting, and it's said to be a safe place to buy jade (if you're clueless about jade, as I am, and nervous about buying it in the market stalls).
Old Town is a blast for picking up tourist tchotchkes and souvenirs, but get ready for the haggling. I had to make a few runs at it before I was comfortable passing the calculator back and forth for bargaining.
Finally, (and I hear this goes for Beijing as well), any invitations to view the Chinese Tea Ceremony are a scam. Ditto for the "art students" inviting you into the gallery to see the work of their teacher. Either way, you're being set up for some exorbitantly overpriced stuff. Politely decline both.

If you are going to Mutianyu to see the great wall, take the tobaggon ride down. It sounds cheesy, but it's fun as can be. Also, I quite enjoyed drinking a beer atop the great wall, even though the vendors are there illegally.

Go to see the Great Wall at Mutianyu, not Badaling - it's a bit further, but less visited, and the touts aren't alllll the way up to the wall itself. You'll still have to run through a gauntlet of them, but they're mostly confined to the carpark.
To wander around Beijing .. hm. I was there for 3 months last year and I too love wandering, but it's hard to say exactly. I enjoyed wandering around the hutongs round Beihai Park, Sanlitum (the ultra-modern expat area), Wangfujing (modern and commercial, as acidic notes), and the Olympic complex is beautiful and empty at night. The area around the Lama Temple is also rather pretty and fascinating, though may be crowded as it's still a functional temple and not just a tourist attraction.
Remember though that Beijing is
- she probably remembers that as she's lived there, but it'll take you several hours just to cover the Tianamen Square / Forbidden City area, and the Summer Palace is around 45 minutes by taxi from the city center. And don't trust the published subway maps. Some of the lines haven't been completed yet but they're shown anyway.

I really enjoyed the Hot Pot I had in China, so I'll recommend trying that. You can get vegetarian and meat varieties.
Can't think of anything out of the ordinary that I did that I really liked. 798 District was something I hadn't heard about before, though, and I was glad I checked that out.

Nan Luogu Xiang has gotten pretty commercialized the last couple of years. Still worth a visit, and the streets around it are still nice, but it's not what it was.
I always liked wandering around Jishuitan (also known as Xihai), an artificial lake connected to Houhai at Houhai's northwest tip. Very quiet, relaxed area; it's gotten a bit gentrified in recent years (apparently a bunch of retired PLA brass moving into the neighborhood), but there are still regular families living around there, and if you go on a weekend morning you'll see oldsters sitting around, fishing in the lake, and jawing at each other while they look on happily at their grandchildren running around.
Seconding Abiezer's recommendation of Jingsi: they do a lot of fake meat, but their straight vegetarian dishes are excellent; I particularly like the 'Zai Su Jin Shen,' which is a crispy dumpling-style wrap of tofu and vegetables. I haven't been to the veggie place pollomacho recommended (despite having lived about a block from there for two and a half years), but it's called Xu Xiang Zhai, and it seems to get pretty consistently good reviews. The Confucius Temple across the street from it has been spruced up a bit, and now sees slightly more tourist traffic than it used to, but it's still worth a visit. Go on a rainy afternoon, if you can:
A friend published a book -- really, a set of cards -- about a year ago called
Beijing by Foot
, and it may be worth a look -- he knows a lot about the history of the various hutongs.
The area around Qianmen, south of Tian'anmen Square, used to be one of my very favorite places to walk around: it was the commercial and bordello capital of the late Qing dynasty, and used to retain a lot of the old architecture. A lot of it is gone now -- Qianmen has become a Disneyfied version of itself reimagined as a shopping street -- but if you wander through some of the old hutong alleys around there, you'll still be able to find some really nice spots.
Finally: the Great Wall is, well, great, but which section you go to can make a difference. The most common tourist destinations are Badaling, Mutianyu, and Juyongguan. Of these, Juyongguan is the most impressive -- it goes up at a very steep slope, and you can get killer views of the surrounding countryside on a clear day; it's also relatively close to Beijing, so travel time is cut down a bit. If you're willing to put in more travel time (and probably to hire a car -- though some hostels can organize trips), though, I'd strongly recommend going to one of the unrestored sections of the Great Wall. Simatai and Huanghuacheng are probably the two best-known ones; both are great, but my favorite is Jiankou. The place name literally means "arrow-notch," and once you get there, you'll see why: it's a sharp dip in a mountain ridge. The wall is completely unrestored; there are collapsed guardhouses and loose bricks galore. There will probably be more people there once the weather gets nice, but it's a much less-trafficked section of the wall than the others.

Our itinerary is: Shanghai for a few days, then by train to Tai Shan, then Beijing for a week.
Other people should weigh in on this because I only saw Beijing, but when my friend and I went there several years ago (pre-Olympics), we stayed in Beijing for about seven days. After a couple days sightseeing, we were... frankly, a little bored. Beijing is sort of like the Washington, D.C. of China--a lot of important national sites, a couple really cool buildings, but a little staid and perhaps less compelling than, say, Shanghai/New York.
Again, we
saw Beijing, so that last comparison deserves a large grain of salt. But if we could do our trip all over again, I think we'd spend three days in Beijing and four days in Shanghai or another province.

Beijing: Red Classics Restaurant.
This has to be seen and experienced if you can somehow manage it. It's like a dinner theatre, except that the stage show is a non-stop musical production extolling the glories of the cultural revolution. Lots of actors and singers dressed as farmers and soldiers in what looked like a moving, living propaganda poster. By the end of the night everyone in the restaurant was drunk and singing along.
Also, the menu was unlike anything I've ever seen. Pigeon, Roasted Ass, and countless other oddities. It was about 30 or 40 pages long and the server kept insisting that we order more, which we did. Eventually they had brought out enough food that full dishes were being piled on top of one another on the table. There were twelve of us and more food than was humanly possible to eat. Final bill, including booze: $12 per person.
I'm not sure how accessible it would be to you, though. I went with some friends and a few locals who knew where it was and we were the only foreigners in there. And taking pictures wasn't allowed, which was a shame.
So if you can find it and get there it would be well worth the trip.

Sorry, should have been more clear - we already know about the big attractions, so I came here to find out about the smaller ones.
Great answers. Thanks everyone! I will try to get to as many of these as possible.

Big Ten Breakdown 2012: Wisconsin Badgers, Part 1, Overview
Team Overview
Over the duration of Bret Bielema's time as the head man in Madison, he has been something of an afterthought within the Big Ten.
There has been talk about Ohio State's dominance, Michigan's resurgence, Iowa's taking it to the next level and Nebraska entering the conference.
However, the Wisconsin Badgers steadily marched along until Oct. 16, 2010. On that night, the No. 1-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes came to Madison to take on the No. 16-ranked Badgers, who had lost two weeks earlier to Michigan State.
Though the score reflected a solid 31-18 win, it didn't do justice to just how badly Wisconsin manhandled the mighty Buckeyes.
Since then, the Big Ten and college football world has been put on notice, and the Badgers have run off two straight Big Ten titles and two straight Rose Bowl appearances.
This year, UW's path to the conference title game seems fait accompli, as Ohio State and Penn State are ineligible and the latter will stink anyway (see link for my breakdown of the Nits).
In effect, Wisconsin's biggest impediment to the showdown in Indianapolis are Purdue and Illinois, and though they are quality teams, they shouldn't pose a threat to UW.
Nevertheless, once again, people aren't giving Bielema and his program the credit they deserve.
It is true the Badgers play a soft schedule and should have a golden ticket to the conference title game, but the coach and his program haven't been handed anything.
Team Breakdown
2011 Record: 11-3
2011 Conference Record: 7-2
2011 Home/Away/Neutral Record: 7-0/2-2/2-1
2011 Record vs. Ranked Teams: 2-2
Record Last Five Seasons: 48-18 (tied for 15th-winningest FBS program over that period of time)
Conference Record Last Five Seasons: 27-14
Home/Away/Neutral Record Last Five Seasons: 32-3/13-11/3-4
Record vs. Ranked Teams Last Five Seasons: 5-14
Best Record Last Five Seasons: 11-2/11-3 (2010 and 2011)
Worst Record Last Five Seasons: 7-6 (2008)
Number of Coaches Last 10 Seasons: Two
Coach Overview
Bret Bielema was born in Prophetstown, Illinois.
Like Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, Iowa's Kirk Ferentz and Kansas State's Bill Snyder, among others, Bielema fell from Hayden Fry's coaching tree (per The Wall Street Journal).
From 1989 to 1992, he was a nose guard at Iowa under Fry. After a year in the Arena Football League, Bielema came back to the college game, working as an Iowa graduate assistant from 1994 to 1995.
He was promoted to linebackers coach in 1996 and was retained by Kirk Ferentz after Fry retired.
Bielema went to Kansas State—under Bill Snyder—from 2002 to 2003, where he served as the co-defensive coordinator (DC).
In 2004, former UW coach and current athletic director Barry Alvarez, hired Bielema as his DC. Alvarez also selected Bielema to succeed him when he retired from coaching following the 2005 season.
Since taking over in 2006, Bielema has posted a 60-19 record, which is the best winning percentage in the Big Ten over that span of time (accepting Ohio State's forfeited losses in 2010). It is also tied for ninth-best in the country, and sixth-best of AQ teams.
Bielema's Badgers have been bowl eligible every year he has been the head coach. They have won two Big Ten championships, posted at least 10 wins four times, gone to two BCS bowls, gone 2-4 in all bowls (0-2 in BCS bowls) and finished the season ranked five times.
Coming next Monday, an overview and breakdown of Wisconsin's offense.

1/60 NG Exia Custom Build
This was originally built for a "duel" over at the Fichtenfoo forums. I took the 1/60 HG/NG Exia and detailed it up a bit. I modified the waist connection by adding a yellow sub ball joint, modified the neck by cutting out the original mounting point and adding a polyjoint and extension to the neck, removed the rubber inserts in the thighs and calves and replaced with pla-plate, modified the shoulders so they connect to the torso independently of the arms, and finally filled in all of the empty spaces in the molds on both shields. There were other small additions to the head and legs, such as new panel lines, thinning of the V, seperating the fingers on the hands, etc.

Non-Dairy Power Meal
Non-Dairy Power Meal makes a nutritious protein packed snack for kids and adults!
Finding a healthy, nutritious snack or meal replacement is not always easy in my household. Our family stays away from dairy and so I am always looking for alternatives. The kids have tried several protein powders and do not like the taste of it. Thankfully, I found one! The boys are homeschooled, so that means they have the ability to eat whenever their little tummies growl, and believe me, it growls a lot!
They are constantly in the kitchen eating and making a meal. The protein shake is a great way to get them to have extra protein in their diet and more fruits. You can even sneak in some vegetables from time to time! Grind 'em up and they will never know!:)
Non-Dairy Power Meal
Power Meal is a vegetarian protein supplement formulated without soy, dairy, or animal products. Combining wolfberries with concentrated rice protein and bee pollen, Power Meal is rich in the branched-chain amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine, which are crucial for building healthy muscles. This supplement also contains Ginkgo biloba, which promotes circulation in peripheral blood vessels; eleuthero to improve performance; and enzymes to support the digestion and assimilation of protein.
In addition, Power Meal contains choline, inositol, MSM, L-carnitine, zeaxanthin, and chromium. Power Meal's brown rice protein has a high glutamine and alanine content, making it a great protein for cellular hydration. With twenty grams of protein per serving, Power Meal provides your body with the key ingredients it needs to build and repair tissue, make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. One delicious serving supplies nearly half the recommended daily values of protein for a woman and one-third the recommended protein for a man.
Non-Dairy Power Meal Protein Powder is full of vitamins and minerals
*This is a great non dairy protein shake for adults and children to help build muscle and bone mass*
Power Meal delivers at least a third of the recommended daily values for the following vitamins and minerals:
Vitamin A—Supports vision, growth and differentiation of cells, and immune function
B Vitamins—Support metabolism, energy production, and co-enzymes
Vitamin C—Supports iron absorption and immune function
Vitamin D—Supports hormone function that affects calcium, phosphorus, and blood calcium levels
Calcium—Important for bone health, enzyme activation, and muscle contractions

Dana Brown's surfing documentary isn't particularly insightful or even half-assed philosophical about one of the most majestic and fascinating sports in the world, but boy oh boy does it sure look pretty. Brown has captured some incredible waves -- on camera, that is -- at Oahu's legendary North Shore, Da Nang in Vietnam (where Robert Duvall exclaimed "Charlie don't surf!" in Apocalypse Now) and even Dublin, where the stormy Irish weather makes for some particularly rough waters, all whilst interviewing the men and women (and even children) who consider their hobby/sport/lifestyle/whatever of choice to be the manifestation of an intense spiritual calling. Brown's overuse of slow motion and setting everything to intrusive music (the use of VAST's "Touched" is particularly annoying) as well as presenting the Wisconsin lake surfing scene as a place of bumbling clowns prone to wipeouts keep this doc hanging five rather than ten, but there are some undeniably incredible sights to behold here, ones that will either inspire you to try out surfing yourself or swear you'll never in a million years attempt such madness.

Posted: 11/28/2012
The Atlantic Coast Conference has announced its presidents and chancellors have unanimously voted to add Louisville as the replacement for Maryland.
In a statement Wednesday, league Commissioner John Swofford said the addition of Louisville along with Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse in the past year has made the league stronger.
Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich says the ACC was "the perfect fit for us."
Maryland announced last week it would join the Big Ten in 2014.
A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that ACC leaders also considered Connecticut and Cincinnati before the vote to add Louisville during a conference call Wednesday morning.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the ACC hasn't released details of the expansion discussions.

It sure will. You can use 3v LED's instead.
Mouser pn MV5352 The typical red is 1.8v x 5 = 9v I am not sure if they will be too noisy. Other's may comment on that. I know 12v one's Salas told me are risky.

I'm in trouble with LED matching... I must have missed something. I've bought LEDs in v4.3 BOM (Mouser 593-VAOL-3HCE4), and measured forward voltage of each LED fed by a 9V battery and a 1K2 resistor in series (right, isn't it?). Measures varies from 1,901V to 1,910V, in spec according to datasheet (mav 2V froward voltage) but far from the typical 1,8V expected value. So no way of getting 9V or 5,4V (9,53V and 5,70 are best match) Help! |

It will be OK. The Vout values will still track with positive somewhat higher as expected and in sweet spot range. Just find 2 similar strings.

I had the same results when matching my leds (same part number). You will get a few more tens of a volt in the supply rails. Nothing to worry about.
Other people in the thread reported to have the same values with the same part number. Regards, Regi

Like mentioned before, it's more important to have two strings have similiar total values than the trying to get lower one's. I am using the yellow one's, and they sit @ 10v.

Well, soldering iron now is powered OFF...
Haargh, my R-Core transformer is still shipping from France... I've implemented directly last mods, I think... Vref caps are Wima MKS2XL 2,2uF, the value is ok? Is 10 Ohm 5W the right value to replace the 68 Ohm couple? Thanks in advance |

Valuecruncher produces a valuation of NZ$0.67 for $FPA.NZ. This is a current valuation (an estimate of intrinsic value using a discounted cash flow model) not a target price. This valuation is 2.9% below the current share price of NZ$0.69.
- Revenue: Reuters aggregates seven analysts covering $FPA.NZ and this produces mean estimates of 2010 and 2011 revenues of NZ$1.355 billion and NZ$1.356 billion respectively. For our analysis we have used NZ$1.350 billion in 2010, NZ$1.350 billion in 2011 and NZ$1.375 billion in 2012.
- Profitability: We have used a flat EBITDA margin of 10.5% in 2010 then 12.0% for 2011 and beyond. Reuters has $FPA.NZ's EBITD margin at an average of 9.88% over the last five-years.
- Capital Expenditure: We have assumed capital expenditures of NZ$50.0 million per annum moving forward.
- Discount Rate: 8.5%. The PwC New Zealand cost of capital report has $FPA.NZ at a WACC of 7.5% with the wider NZ market at 8.3%.
- Terminal Growth Rate: 3.0%.

Mourinho will finally have his way and the nine who has been calling since last summer. The choice of Van Nistelrooy permanently cooled yesterday, but the machinery of the white club moved to mid-afternoon to start the steps needed to achieve the transfer of Emmanuel Adebayor, Togolese who currently plays for 26 years, say in Manchester City.
Adebayor has several points in his favor: he is young (26 years), one that respects the unique physical profile of nine who looks Mourinho and extra motivation to succeed in a league that does not yet know in his career (only player in France and England). In fact, his immediate environment has offered several times to Madrid in recent weeks.
The African giant had made several contraindications to cool your option two weeks ago: High card (takes almost seven million net per year), his rebellious nature (stuck with his captain in training on January 5) and the discipline that has carried Mancini, City manager to have him very little this season. It only takes five goals.
The problem is that next Monday at 24:00 pm of the transfer window closes and the floor of the Bernabeu agreed that it was necessary to meet the request of Mourinho for what might happen: "It's scary to imagine not booked and that on 5 February, for example, Christian or Benzema injured in training. Mourinho achacaria us the failure of the season and it is best to grant your wish, "said one of the heavyweights of the executive of the entity. Read the rest of this entry »
Jose Mourinho was erased from the press conference before the match against Sevilla, but his second, Aitor Karanka, made a passionate defense of the technician, explained that there appeared to avoid heating more grief and suggested that the Andalucian club deserves a penalty the aggressive video directed to your liking. "Sure, these hot pictures of the match. Paint the face or leave a comment in Portuguese turn on the environment.'ll Have to see if a committee comes in and record the Seville or this is only true for Mourinho."
Mourinho took the decision not to appear at the press conference, to avoid further fire to the environment and perhaps also not to refer to relations with Valdano. Asked about reports in AS that the Portuguese do not want to see the CEO in a dressing room Valdebebas, said: "If someone cannot veto Valdano me, but I do not know what they have done the coach or the club." In any case, he was evasive on the issue: "We intend that the relationship is best for the club. The sporting theme is good and all rowing the same direction."
The self-imposed silence that Mourinho said: "Nobody likes to say so many things and he, out to defend his club, is reprimanded or disciplined. Now, looking normal, it was decided to leave me. No is angry, but do not want more power and is developing Sevilla. Here anything goes to record it, if their claims are objective, and do not want to leave to avoid being punished. " "What of the files have reminded every few minutes. Why did not wish to participate in this campaign," he said.
Karanka stated that "the squad is united. We know who's boss and we are all to death with it. The only obsession is winning titles. I'm with him every day and every day is more comfortable in the club."
Finally, he referred to Benzema: "Playing in the pressure and Karim Madrid brings you're getting more externally, but the coaching staff knows him. We were told that was problematic, not talking, but always in jest. Logically, has more to do with Lass or Diarra, but has surprised us.'s still important. It is in a fight that he did not share. "
Also presents exciting contest that will see the champions of the Copa del Rey, Sevilla, ahead of Villarreal. The group disposed of Malaga Seville and Villarreal came from behind (4-2) the tie against Valencia in the regional derby. Garrido's left side to those of Emery and went to the quarterfinals of the competition of 'KO'.
Castellon box is third in the league and with very good job to stand up to the Andalusian hope to repeat the path of last season. The first leg will be in El Madrigal.
The Real Madrid beat Sevilla and is lit
Real Madrid still two points behind Barcelona in the bid for the Spanish League First Division, after hard-fought victory of the night 1 to 0 against Sevilla at the Bernabeu.
Madrid was against Sevilla if a rock that came to play at the Bernabeu. Manzano's team put many men on the defensive, came for a draw and ended up losing due to the tenacity of Madrid.
It seemed that Mourinho's team could not find the path to victory, also played with 10 for the expulsion of Portugal's Ricardo Carvalho.
When all seemed uphill Argentina's Angel Di Maria found the key goal to bring victory to whites when he ran 77 minutes.
Madrid does not play well, but when things get out that pride and self typical of Mourinho's team to turn an adverse situation.
In the Rose Garden Atletico Madrid returned to victory, and did so overwhelmingly by 3 to 0 against the team of Pellegrini.
Above was the secret of success for the team "mattress", as all three goals were headache, two of James at 22 and 69 minutes, and the remaining Dominguez at 66.
The great comeback of the days starred in Getafe, who defeated 3 to 2 Almeria, after being 0-2 down.
Manu Del Moral, Boateng Miku and consummated the comeback team, "Mallard"to the goals from Uche and Ulloa for Almeria.
The other match on Sunday between Osasuna and Zaragoza in Pamplona held in tables (0-0), while on Monday complete this sixteenth day of racing teams and Hercules at El Sardinero.

A long time ago, in the land ofVaranasi, where was a city of prosperity and a center for arts and science education in various fields.
There was a young man who was heading out to Taxila city to pursue the study of arts and science.
He chose to study in a school of Tisapamoke (the great instructor). Tisapamoke was one of the experts.
The young man was an industrious and diligent student. So, he was very beloved by Tisapamoke.
As the time passing by, all students had gained more and more knowledge from Tisapamoke.
But the young man, he could remember nothing at all.
No matter how industrious he was. Because of his dullness, so, he could not learn as intended.
That discouraged him. Finally, the young man decided to say goodbye to Tisapamoke beforeheading back to his hometown. So, he was going to see Tisapamoke to say him goodbye.
Tisapamoke recited the chapter of the magical spell; the young man listened to it.
Tisapamoke hoped that his student would have ingrained knowledge to protect him from danger that might occur in the future. Therefore, he exhorted the young man to recite the magical spell for hundreds of times.
The young man concentrated on reciting the magical spell, so, he could memorize all of it at last.
After that, the young man paid respect to his master, and latter came back to his hometown, Varanasi city.
At the gorgeous palace of Varanasi city
The king wanted to know the truth. After he figured out how to know, in one evening, the king disguised himself as an ordinary person. He was going out the palace and walking around the people's house. Because he thought that people tended to talk to each other about their trouble life during their dinner time.
In that night, the king and his side-kick servant were walking down to the corner of the city.
The king and his servant hid themselves behind the brush and silently watched what the burglars were doing.

CMI Music and Audio to Showcase Innovative Technology Range at Integrate 2012
Project Energia – E15
Project Energia includes a new range of loudspeaker systems, which feature networkable Class D amplifier modules, onboard DSP, integrated signal and power distribution, AVB network hardware with software integration of control, and 3-D simulation and diagnostics. The touch screen interface of the Ground Control monitors the integrated AC distribution and UPS and guarantees uptime for all network components including related rack mounted hardware. To ensure reliability and a smooth integration of this complex technology, there are three beta test phases involved in the release. The E15 speaker box is the first product to be released as part of the Energia System.
Each array element of the E15 is built as an e-capsule, precisely engineered and constructed using aircraft grade lightweight aluminum. The patent pending skeletal structure provides an accurate and rigid frame for mounting the modular Autolock rigging system, while simultaneously housing a series of efficient mid/high components paired with our pioneering Co-Linear Drive Modules. The capsule is flanked with two separate birch ply enclosures, each containing proprietary Kevlar 15" woofer, capitalizing on the advantages of Adamson's Advanced Cone Architecture. The result is an extraordinarily lightweight and compact array element.
In addition, CMI Music and Audio will be showcasing a number of solutions from DB Technologies including the DVA T12, a fully-powered 3-way mid-format line source system aimed at production companies and venues looking for 'big name' SPL and fidelity without the 'big name' price tag. The DVA T12 features state-of-the-art neodymium drivers and high-performance digital amps with total of 1,500W output power. In combination with high-end DSP and premium-quality AD-DA converters, it delivers top-shelf sonic image with massive SPL for large sound reinforcement applications making100dB go 100 metres a lot easier.
DB Technologies' DVA S30N subwoofer will also be on display at Integrate 2012. Featuring dual 18" neodymium drivers in a hybrid bass reflex housing, the DVA S30N delivers everything you would expect from large-venue dual 18" subs with 3000w of on-board power amplification, harnessed by networked DSP and delay control. This sub-bass powerhouse is the perfect addition to large PAs and an excellent complement to DVA T12 mid-/high-range units in stacked arrays.

The hotel was fairly new (unfortunately I don't know how old it is) and the rooms spread over 6 floors. The size of the room varied very much depending on the location. In addition, there were rooms (near the elevator) which had no daylight. There, the window panes were blackened with film! I was put up in such a room but I directly moved into another one.
The lobby made a fairly well-kept and new impression. The room furnishing was worn at times. Here, the motto was: "More illusion than reality" The breakfast was included in the price. ...
With 650 Saudy riyal + taxes per room and day, it was quite a good price for a hotel of this standard in Riyadh.
The guests were international, there were many American, a few German, Dutch, Japanese guests. read hotel review

The garden INN Riyadh olaya is a quite new, clean hotel, which I in my opinion calmed down for a stay in Riyadh recommend can. Rooms are tidy, staff in order, on request, there are pick-up from and drop-off at airport; nearby there is a supermarket, otherwise this area is rather good for electrical appliances.
to my knowledge, there is in the hotel no pool. read hotel review

BHUBANESWAR: After a two month-long summer vacation most schools reopened on a rainy day on Friday. Very few children braved the morning showers and went to school draped in colourful raincoats and umbrellas. Most schools in the city recorded thin attendance on the first day while some schools extended their summer vacation till Monday in view of the inclement weather.
"Only 10 students from five classes attended school today. Most parents did not allow their children to come to school because of the rain. Many children must have not returned from their villages after Raja festival that concluded only yesterday.We are expecting good attendance from Monday," said Sandhyarani Mishra, a teacher in a government-run primary school in Nayapalli area of the city. With the timely onset of the monsoons, heavy rain has been lashing the state for the last four days affecting normal life. "We had no option but to declare Friday a rainy day as we had very few students," said a teacher.

By Meredith Farkas | May 10, 2006
I've been listening and quietly taking in all of the talk about social networking software and the library's place (if any) in that software. I've raised a few questions on e-mail lists about whether or not we are invading our patrons' space by building presence in MySpace and Facebook (perhaps) and whether it is at all ok to ban the use of MySpace because it is not an "academic site" and "people are using it a lot" (ummmm… no). I've devoted a whole chapter in my book to social networking software and plan to speak about it at the Vermont Library Conference next week. But I didn't realize until Friday, after discussing the subject with Casey Bisson, that I'd never actually discussed my thoughts on social networking software with other librarians. I guess I'm at the point where I'm forgetting what I've written for my book vs. for my blog. (Frankly, I'm lucky my brain still functions at all.)
I think I tend to ride the fence between unrelenting enthusiasm for technology and healthy cynicism. Anyone who knows me knows how excited I am by social software. I wish playing with social software and thinking about how to use it in libraries could be my full-time job. But at the same time, I'm really pragmatic about technology implementation in libraries. I hate the idea of implementing new things at libraries because they're "cool" and not to serve a specific purpose. So I often question why librarians are doing the things they do with social software. So this is the orientation I am bringing to the discussion of MySpace and Facebook and where libraries should be in all this.
Are Facebook and MySpace bad?
I guess I can answer that question by asking this, did these same problems exist before MySpace and Facebook ever came on the scene? Before social networking sites existed we had teens exposing themselves with Web cams, we had teens posting inappropriate pictures of themselves and writing inappropriate things. We had perverts going after young people in chat rooms. And before MySpace and Facebook, teens used the Web a lot. They used it to IM with their friends, to visit online communities they were involved in, to blog, to game, etc. Before MySpace and Facebook, however, there was no one site that was so huge and pervasive and captured the attention of so many teens. It's hard to point a finger at the Web and say it's bad for kids and they shouldn't use it; it's easy to point a finger at a specific site or a few sites and blame them for everything that's wrong with young people today.
But it's seeing librarians — in public and academic libraries — targetting Facebook and MySpace that really concerns me. It's one thing to have certain rules of conduct and computer usage that apply universally and that don't target any specific group. The idea of banning a single site because patrons (mostly teenage patrons) use it a lot on the computers (and perhaps get loud) is wrong. If you think MySpace users are loud, have a rule about noise that applies to everyone. If people are using MySpace when others need to work on papers for class, have a rule regarding the time people can spend on the computer or what tasks take precedence (if you really want to police that — I sure don't). But we have no right to ban a Web site based on the subjective value judgments we place on it.
Whether we like it or not, our patrons between the ages of 16 and 25 overwhelmingly use MySpace and Facebook, and are not going to stop using them no matter what policies we put in place. As librarians who should know our users, we should at least be aware of what they're doing online and see what roles the library can play in our patrons' online social worlds.
Library as educator
Since before we even had a graphical Web, libraries played an important role in educating patrons about the Internet. Just because most of our users are much more capable of surfing the Web now than they were 10 years ago doesn't mean that our work is done. More techno-savvy doesn't necessarily mean they have more common sense when it comes to putting personal information up online. We can play a valuable role in educating young people about online privacy and the possible negative effects of putting too much of yourself online. In public libraries and school libraries, we can educate parents about the role they should play in monitoring what their kids are doing online. Parents should know exactly what is on their child's MySpace or Facebook profile and who their child is communicating with online. If you want to prevent all the problems of MySpace and Facebook, the key is educating the parents and making them get involved in their childrens' online lives.
Paul Pival wondered in a recent post if young people have a lesser expectation of privacy in the online environment. I don't know if that's true. I think they have far less of an awareness of privacy issues. For example, look at this issue that came up when Alan Levine posted a screenshot and link to a publicly available LiveJournal blog. These profiles and blogs are freely available on the Web where anyone (parents, teachers, administrators, potential employers, etc.) can see them. In the case of Facebook, profiles are slightly more private but can still be seen by anyone with an e-mail address from that school. And I've seen students who live on "dry campuses" writing about getting drunk the night before. And I've seen them complaining about teachers and posting half-naked pictures of themselves. So if they have no expectation of privacy online, why in the world would they be posting these things? And I wonder if they really believe that parents, teachers, administrators, potential employers, etc. won't find them there. I wonder if they have a false sense of security. And if all that is true, how would they feel about librarians building presence in MySpace and Facebook or even posting comments on their profiles.
I'm sure every school is different in this sense. Perhaps in one community the library would be a welcome and useful addition to their patrons' online social network, where in another the patrons would think the library was invading their privacy. I think before we do anything, we should really get to know our patrons and what their attitudes are with regards to social networking software and privacy. We can't pretend that what works at one library will work at all of them.
Building Presence in MySpace and Facebook
A lot of libraries have started building presence in MySpace and Facebook by creating profiles. And I honestly think this is a really good idea though unfortunately most libraries are doing it really badly. When you decide to put up a library profile on MySpace or Facebook, what is your goal? If it's to look cool or to make students more aware of the library, don't bother. A profile that offers nothing but a picture of the library, a blog post or two and a cutesy thing about how we won't shush you just looks cheesy. I think there is a big difference between "being where our patrons are" and "being USEFUL to our patrons where they are." I think some of the libraries in MySpace and Facebook have put a profile up, but they have not tried to make it useful to their patrons at all. Just putting up a profile does not make the library seem cool, nor does it make the library more visible.
I have seen two ways that libraries have used MySpace and Facebook effectively. The first is to get feedback from students. The second is to create a library portal within MySpace and/or Facebook (or whatever social networking software inevitably will come next).
Profile as a Two-Way Communications Mechanism
I do like the idea of having a library blog in MySpace, but a lot of libraries are using blogs just like they use them outside of MySpace — as one-way communication vehicles. When I was doing research last year looking for library blogs that build online community, I couldn't find many. Most library blogs either leave comments off or they write posts that don't really merit comment (they don't inspire people to offer feedback). Why is the Ann Arbor District Library Web site so cool? Because they encourage feedback and allow their patrons to have a voice on their Web site (and thus, in the future of the library). Most libraries with profiles don't capitalize on the Comments area in MySpace or the Wall in Facebook. By asking questions of patrons in a space they feel safe enough to express themselves in, libraries could get valuable feedback from their patrons.
I know of one library who has successfully done this, and unfortunately you're not going to be able to see their site unless you're a member of Facebook and add them as a friend. The Crossett Library at Bennington College has asked patrons in Facebook what books and videos they'd like the library to order for them. And patrons really are requesting things there. And even better, the library is letting them know when the materials are ordered. Rock on! Ok, yes, most libraries have an acquisitions request form, but I don't think most students really think that's for them. I know I would never have requested anything at my library in college because I didn't think they'd want to hear from some dumb undergrad. But in this case, the library is coming into the students' space and is saying "we want our collections to reflect what you need and want. We care about your opinion." This way we are giving students a safe place to speak their mind. I would love to see a library using Facebook and MySpace to get other sorts of feedback from students about services, library hours, collections, etc. By coming into their space to ask their opinion, we're telling them that they really do have a voice in the future of the library.
Profile as a Library Portal
Portals are definitely back in libraries. Many library Web sites have portals for faculty, portals for students, and portals for distance learners. While many of the links are likely the same, each portal has personalized content for that specific population. At Norwich, our distance learners never have to visit our library Web site; they can get to everything they could possibly need from our portal for them in WebCT. If it's a great idea to "go where the patrons are" in terms of their courseware, why not provide the same sort of portal services in MySpace and Facebook? Many students probably spend more time on those sites than they do in their online courseware. And I'm always amazed by how many students at my school are completely incapable of finding the library Web site. No, it's not on the front page of the University's Web site, but it's not that difficult to find! However, I bet they'd have a heck of a lot more luck finding our library's profile in MySpace or Facebook (if we had one).
Some libraries have made their Facebook or MySpace site an extension of the library Web site with links to the catalog, chat reference pages, research guides, calendar of events, etc. The Brooklyn College Library profile has links to all sorts of areas on their library Web site including research tools, instructions for off-campus library access, and their Ask-a Librarian page. They also used MySpace's calendar feature to display the library's calendar of events. Finally, under books and movies, where regular folks write down what books and movies they like, the library profile has links to the catalog. The Morrisville College Library goes one step further and actually has a search box in their MySpace profile in which students can actually search the catalog (nice job, Bill!). The Hennepin County Public Library's profile links to lists of new CDs, books and movies for teens and booklists that provide a valuable readers' advisory service. The Denver Public Library's eVolver profile is visually consistent with their regular Web site which brings home the idea of the profile as an extension of the Web site.
I strongly believe that the more links you provide to valuable library services the better. I'm an even bigger believer in providing these links on Web pages your patrons are most likely to visit. And if that happens to be MySpace or Facebook, then that's where we should be. You can use the library profile as a portal or an extension of the library Website, providing services to patrons at the point of need. Because more than likely, your patrons will be surfing these sites while working on their latest research paper.
In conclusion, I do not think that there is anything inherently "cool" or useful about having a profile on these sites. Just like any social software tool, it's what you do with it that matters. And many libraries aren't really doing anything with their profiles. Sorry this is so long! This is what you get when I'm forced to staff the reference desk at night in a nearly empty library during exam week when no one comes to the reference desk in THREE HOURS. Your reward for reading through this long post is a treasure trove of links to blog posts and other useful resources about the place of libraries in social networking software. I think these posts will offer you some really good food for thought. I would love to hear your thoughts on the role of libraries in MySpace and Facebook and appropriateness of the library building presence in these sites. My opinion of the place of libraries in social networking sites is constantly evolving, so I'm totally open to comments and criticisms.

FORT WAYNE – While The Journal Gazette deemed Len Thornson to be the greatest Komets player of all time, the fans seemed to have a lot of different opinions.
Sixty years worth of players will do that.
Heres what some fans had to say:
I went to almost every game during Robbie Lairds Komets career and the guy could score and was a great fighter. He would throw five punches to the other guys one. They were like jackhammers, similar to Joey Kocur. He created a lot of room for himself. Was Robbie the best scorer? No. Was he the best fighter? No. But for all around best player, I say Robbie was it.
Charlie Arnold, Rochester Hills, Mich.
Robbie Laird is my all-time favorite player, but cant really say he was the greatest player ever. That would be his linemate, Terry McDougall. That guy could do some amazing things with the puck. He was a great puck handler, set up his teammates well, and could easily find the net to score a few goals himself in his career while with Fort Wayne.
Teresa Beck, Fort Wayne
I was living in Detroit in the early 90s and I saw Vladimir Tsyplakov playing for the Colonial League Detroit Falcons in 1992-93. He was too good for that league, but I was told that he was there to learn English. Then I watched Tsyplakov play for the Komets from 1993-94 thru 1995-95, scoring 141 points in 142 games. Also in those two years, he played in 18 playoff games and scored (20) points. He went on to spend five years with the Los Angeles Kings and two with the Buffalo Sabres. Tsyplakov was the best, most talented, Komet.
Mark Lee, Fort Wayne
We have been lucky to have had a lot of great talent here. Good players want to play here. My thinking on this is for the player that had the talent to get to the bigs and start, and not how they contributed strictly as a Komet, my vote goes to (goalie) Murray Bannerman, who played (seven) NHL seasons after playing for the Komets.
Paul Turner, New Haven
Guy Dupuis was the most iconic of my life, however Len Thornsons stats were ridiculous. How can you go against a seven-time IHL MVP, three-time league scoring champ, and eight-time all-star? All while being the Komets all-time leader in points by a pretty wide margin. Pretty tough résumé to beat.
Jason Garrison, Fort Wayne

Britex Fabrics loves everything about silk and it shows. Silk is a natural fiber that is usually derived from the mulberry silkworm's cocoons. Silk has it all; it is smooth, soft, strong, and lustrous. Silk is ethereal for a summer frock, and just as smart for a winter frock-coat lining. We delight in traipsing about to find you the most chic Italian silks, natty necktie silks, brilliant jacquard silks, and airy sheer silk chiffons.
Crinkled Goldenrod Yellow & Silver Sheer Silk Chiffon
This goldenrod yellow 100% silk chiffon is kissed by silver dewdrops. Soft, light and ethereal, this crinkled chiffon is painted with metallic ovals of various sizes to give it that extra va-voom. With sparkle combined with super-saturated, brilliant color, you've got the perfect fabric for dramatic garments or costumes. It simply begs to be beaded and worn at your next belly dancing class. 100% silk. 54" wide.$29.99 -
Lemon Yellow Mini-Dotted Silk Organza Gazaar
Balenciaga might approve of this lovely lemon yellow silk gazaar.
