Investment Styles and Performance of Equity Mutual Funds in IndiaD. N. RaoKings University August 6, 2006 Abstract: The study classified the 419 open-ended equity mutual fund schemes into six distinct investment styles, analysed the financial performance of select open-ended equity mutual fund schemes for the period 1st April 2005 - 31st March 2006 pertaining to the two dominant investment styles and tested the hypothesis whether the differences in performance are statistically significant. The variables chosen for analyzing financial performance are: monthly compounded mean return, risk per unit return and Sharpe ratio. A comparison of the financial performance of the 21 Open-ended Equity growth plans and 21 Open-ended Equity dividend plans was made in terms of the chosen variables. The analysis indicated that Growth plans have generated higher returns than that of Dividend plans but at a higher risk. Further, 17 Growth plans have generated higher returns than that of corresponding Dividend plans offered by the same Asset Management Companies (AMC) and only one Dividend plan could generate higher return than its corresponding Growth plan. However, three Growth plans and the corresponding Dividend plans had the same returns. Out of the 21 Growth plans, 4 Growth plans had higher Coefficient of Variation (Risk per unit Return) than the corresponding Dividend plans and 13 Dividend plans had higher Coefficient of Variation (Risk per unit Return) than the corresponding Growth plans offered by the AMC. Three Growth plans and three Dividend plans had almost equal Risk per unit return. A comparison of the Sharpe ratios of Growth plans and the corresponding Dividend plans indicated that 18 Growth plans out of 21 (approximately 90%) had better risk adjusted excess returns highlighting the fact that Growth plans are likely to reward the investors more for the extra risk they are assuming. Pearson's correlation coefficient between the returns of the two plans was found to be moderate (0.5290) and F-test (1-tailed test) indicated a low probability (0.3753) of the variances of the returns of the two plans. Further, Student's t-test (1-tailed test) led to the rejection of Null Hypothesis and acceptance of Alternate Hypothesis at confidence levels ranging from 0.40 to 0.0005 implying that Equity Growth funds provide higher returns than that of Equity Dividend funds and the differences were statistically significant.

On related news, PS Vita developer frostegater, has managed to run a Hello World on OFW 2.00. This Hello World is still running via the PSP Emulator on the PS Vita but shows there are other avenues to exploit the system.
About PS Vita OFW 2.00:
An update to the PS Vita system software was released on 20 November 2012. If you update your PS Vita system, the system software version will be 2.00 and the following features will be updated.
A PS Vita system software update is required to use PlayStation Network features and some features on the system. Also, downloading and installing the PS Vita system software update will update your PS Vita system's operating system to include the latest security patches, as well as new and revised applications, features and settings. It is recommended that you always maintain your system to use the latest version of the system software.
He proves it with a typical Hello world running inside the psp emulator of the Vita. Its no surprise, as I mentioned before we still have dozens of game exploits available on the psp (and those are compatible with the psp emu on the Vita) lots of which, I need to mention, were found by frostegater himself -, but its good to confirm that these undisclosed usermode exploits still run even after a release of a new Vita firmware.
For additional info regarding the OFW 2.00 update, check here.

Sea of Love
Twice-Grammy® nominated international Hawaiian recording star, Raiatea Helm adds to her list of award-winning music with the release of her long-awaited solo CD Sea of Love. As a courageous "new traditionalist" of Hawaiian music, Raiatea Helm's collection of songs in Sea of Love takes the musical stylings of the late 1950's and early 1960's and makes them fresh through vibrant, innovative arrangements. This collection of songs draws upon the signature sounds of a bygone era in Waikiki and captures the sizzle of brushes on a snare drum and 'sock' cymbal, the use of maracas, congas and bongos, and the uplifting rhythms of the vibraphones, the bass, the steel guitar, and the piano. When Raiatea Helm's sparkling vocals are placed within the energy of this effervescent instrumentation, she breathes new life to songs from a by-gone era that were once performed throughout Waikiki and known simply as "Hawaiian Club" music.

From the Paniolo town of Makawao to the depths of the Pu'u Kukui rainforest in the West Maui Mountains, Maui is revealed in these solo instrumental guitar pieces. New arrangements of classic songs include Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" and Glen Miller's "In The Mood." Seventeen songs highlight Jeff's signature sound that combines innovative technique with traditional Hawaiian style and has allowed him to emerge as a leader among a new generation of slack key guitarists.

Yves Saint Laurent Asymmetric Platforms
Filed under: Shoes
What to wear with your purple suede shoes? I say go all out and have fun with your outfit. Try a colorful wrap dress by Diane von Furstenberg or for a slightly subdued look, wear with grey wide leg wool trousers and a flowy colorful blouse. YSL's Asymmetric Platforms are also available in black but definitely not as daring.

This commentary has a very simple bottom line: Children shouldn't drink sports drinks and energy drinks. That was the message of a recent report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published in the June 2011 issue of Pediatrics. It's a message that makes huge sense. Yet these products are marketed to children and adolescents. The ads for sports drinks suggest that they are necessary for the best athletic performance and for replacing fluid and electrolytes lost in sweat. Energy drink ads include the message that they boost energy, decrease fatigue, and improve concentration and mental alertness. The terms "sports drink" and "energy drink" are often used in place of each other. But they are different types of beverages.
The biggest concern about sports drinks is that they are contributing to the obesity epidemic. When we drink our calories, the body doesn't get the usual cues from chewing and swallowing food that it's had enough. We end up taking in many more calories than we need. The ads for these drinks would have us believe that we need them whenever we exercise to replace what we lose in sweat and to maintain energy. This is not true. Sports drinks can be useful during prolonged vigorous exercise, such as a soccer tournament where a child plays several games in a row, or a track meet that goes on for a few hours where a child competes in several events. But for the average soccer game or baseball game, in fact for the vast majority of types of exercise kids engage in, water is all they need — and all they should have. The AAP uses very strong wording when it comes to energy drinks: "They are not appropriate for children and adolescents and should never be consumed." Some of these drinks can have as much caffeine as several cups of coffee. The AAP and pediatricians believe that caffeine is never appropriate for children. It can cause heart rhythm problems, stomach problems, anxiety and even seizures. Even if you don't find caffeine in the ingredient list, assume that anything marketed as an energy drink contains a stimulant. These drinks can have other stimulants, such as guarana and taurine, that can be dangerous for children. Sports and energy drinks both have citric acid, which can erode teeth enamel. Over the past decade or so, there has been a growing understanding that sodas aren't healthy. So the companies that make sports drinks and energy drinks market them as a healthier alternative to soda. And indeed, they have slightly less sugar. But they aren't healthy — and they are absolutely not necessary for hydration during exercise or peak performance. So when you are packing your child's sports bag, pack a water bottle (preferably a reusable one and not a plastic one — think of the environment!). You could also pack some light healthy snacks, like orange slices, grapes or whole wheat crackers. But skip the sports drinks—and don't even think about the energy drinks. Water is all they need. Claire McCarthy, M.D., a senior medical editor for Harvard Health Publications, is an assistant professor in pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. She is an attending physician and Medical Communications Editor at Children's Hospital Boston.

Cal Poly head football coach Tim Walsh is a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award, which is presented by The Sports Network to the FCS Coach of the Year. The award is named after the longtime Grambling State coach who retired in 1997 as college football's all-time winningest coach with a record of 408-164-15 over 57 seasons.
Walsh is one of 20 finalists. He has led the Mustangs to a share of the Big Sky Conference title and 9-2 regular season. The Mustangs opened the season with seven straight wins, including one over FBS level Wyoming.
Walsh is 26-18 in four seasons at Cal Poly as the Mustangs head into the FCS playoff for the first time since 2008 and third time in program history.
Cal Poly earned a first-round bye and will play in the second round against Sam Houston State (8-3) on Saturday, Dec. 1. Kickoff at at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium in Huntsville, Texas, is set for 1 p.m. PST.
Walsh, who led Cal Poly to a Great West crown in 2011, was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award (FCS Coach of the Year) in 1999 when Portland State went 8-3.
A panel of about 160 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries will select the Robinson Award winner. Voting will reflect only the regular season and conclude before the FCS playoffs begin Saturday. The winner will be announced on Dec. 17 at the FCS Awards Banquet and Presentation in Philadelphia.

"Friendly, Helpful and Good Accommodations"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
I stayed for 3-nights and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room rate included daily housekeeping, breakfast, wifi, and a free shuttle to DMall. The breakfast options are American, Phillipino, or Korean. All three breakfasts were good. The room was clean and included soaps and shampoo. The hotel is in a quiet part of town and about a 3-minute walk to the nearby beach and about an 8-minute walk to White Beach. Overall, this was a good value accommodation.
"Excellent Resort with Friendly Staff"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 16, 2013
We stayed at the 7 Stones Resort for three nights in February 2013. We stayed in a deluxe suite and the room was great. The resort is located on the opposite side of the island from the "white beach" but it is only a 10-15 minute walk. The resort is located on a beach with where there is a lot of kite surfing. We enjoyed watching the many kite surfers and enjoyed being able to get away from the crowds on the other side of the island. The staff at the resort are very helpful and the food is great. Enjoyed the Saturday night "steak night" on the beach. Overall a great experience!
"Good choice, but one thing missing."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 13, 2013
All in all a very nice hotel. Although located very near the beach and the shopping and restaurant areas at White Beach, the hotel is quiet and have a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The staff is friendly, and there is only one important thing missing, namely wifi at the hotel rooms. You have to go to the reception area to get online, and in this day and age this is not good enough. Especially in a hotel at this price range.
"piece of Paradise"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 8, 2013
Place was great!!!!
"Small bargain hotel, tucked away from the bustle"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 7, 2013
One Crescent Place was a pleasure. It is a small hotel tucked away 4 blocks from the main drag on Boracay. The room was clean, staff was great, breakfast was home cooked each morning, and the beach was 4 blocks away. The rooms are on the small side, but the price made it a very good value. It isn't easy to find, tell your "tri-cycle" driver it is behind the catholic church.

"nice affordable hotel in great location"
overall it was a nice place in a good location, freindly helpful staff nice pool. You had to pay for internet in your room , 100 pecos for an hour. The free breakfast was just ok. In our room , the balcony door could be unlocked by just jiggling it for a couple of seconds and i believe that a good theif could have opened the room door with a knife. […] there are security cameras in the hall though. Dont know if they actually work. Water pressure wasnt great, but better than alot of other places that i have stayed in the Philippines.Knowing what to expect, I believe I would stay here again!

"Good Enough"
If you are on a budget, this hotel is good enough to stay in Boracay. Reasonable distance to the center of the white beach and decent room to sleep at. Though I am very disappointed that we did not the exact room as shown to your website when I booked. Cleanliness is acceptable. Quality of the toilet I may have to recommend must be improved. Room we […] got the faucet was not working properly. As for the quality o the service, it can be a bit slow. Then since the hotel only have free wifi available at the restaurant, guest are given an option to have it at their rooms for a fee. Only that the card available for sale based on how much hours you used are very limited. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Do not recommend at all!!!!"
This hotel listed amenities that they did not offer. They also tried to up charge for services that were clearly listed as included in the package we paid for.

"Don't expect much"
This hotel stays full only because of its location near the beach in Station 2. Service is very mediocre and most rooms are outdated and not well maintained. If you do stay here, I recommend a room in the new building which are actually cheaper. Avoid the breakfast if you can. Nigi Nigi's has a much better breakfast down the beach and the Spanish Deli […] down the road is much better as well. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Very poor experience!"
This hotel was absolutely disgraceful. I have travelled a lot and never have I been so shocked or disappointed at the quality of a hotel. It was so bad that me and my friend moved to other accommodation. The thing that made me question the cleanliness of the whole room (along with the stain on the bed) is the fact that there was a used half empty tiny […] bottle of shampoo in the bathroom. if a tiny bottle of shampoo can not be replaced then what does it say for the quality of the hotel. On getting to the hotel we were asked to pay a deposit upfront in case of damages which is something I have never experienced before. I also had to stand there while I was spoken to like a child for 20 minutes about the hotels rules and regulations. I am not a picky person and have often sneered at people moaning on hotel reviews but I feel that this time it is necessary. The room was depressingly dated and unkept and the service was awful. A very poor experience! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

The air con was so noisy you could not sleep. It stinks like a seware main throughout the entire hotel, very overpriced for what it is, they charge you extra for beach towels. The breakfast is always cold, they have no toaster so if you want to have a bread heated you need to wait in a queue that is 20 metres long which equates to 30 minute wait for […] a toast. The many hotel staff are cadets completing a hospitality course so they have no clue on what is going on, and furthermore they not even subject to change even if you tell them they should be doing things in another way.

La Carmela was a good weekend gateway hotel. Only minor disappointment was the breakfast.

"Bad experience"
When we reached the hotel, the FO Officer do not accept I just showing my mobile confirmation and my name is not in the list. They claimed that they do not know what is hotels.com and my booking is not valid. They ask me to show booking details and I ask for borrow the PC there for me to access my email and they rejected. I was very frustrated and finally […] they ask me go for other counter to print out my email confirmation. I waited about 1hour for FO verify my booking with their reservation office. Not only that, after them verify my booking, but wrong room type they given to me. I booked 2 double bedroom, and they give me ONLY 1and with the bath room sink with no water! And we ask for changing, finally they change us to correct room type, BUT, again, the heater is not working, NO hot shower! Then we called FO again, they send technician to check and technician said it will took a day to repair it. We request to change again and they agreed. Unfortunately, the room still the heater is not working! I am very disappointed for my stay in La Carmela de Boracay Resort Hote :( Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Michael D Higgins admits to smoking marijuana - an interesting blip to an otherwise dull campaign

Michael D, photoed after his rock 'n roll years |
Presidential forerunner Michael D Higgins has admitted to smoking marijuana, an interesting revelation in an otherwise extremely dull campaign.
Higgins now follows in the footsteps of several other political leaders who have capitalized on their ganja-puffing ways to lighten up their image a bit, and appeal to the younger voter, for whom a pro-cannabis stance is usually almost always endearing.
Higgins told the Irish Independent that this happened at Indiana University, though he was careful to add that he had never been in favour of using drugs as a vehicle to expand consciousness, and emphasize that he had never tried LSD even when his friends were experimenting with it.
This unexpected dope-toking surprise comes close on the footsteps of a similarly unexpected revelation that the diminutive and starkly un-rockstar like Michael D had in fact gone through some "rock 'n roll drinking years," to quote his words in another press conference.

And although picturing Michael D smoking cannabis is about as difficult as imagining how he must have looked while at the height of those glorious 'rock star years', it's probable to say that the answer to the cannabis question was a calculated ploy to endear him to the younger votership, with which he seems to have been finding favour as of late.
A national student poll conducted on third level campuses across Ireland last week ranked Higgins as the students' choice for the job, amassing an impressive 34pc of the student vote, which was perhaps a precursor to his choice to disclose the marijuana episode. Higgins has also been capitalizing on the media ineptitude of his competitors as of late. As scandal now besets Dana, 'Michael D' is practically the only runner left in the field who hasn't suffered a major media controversy.
That should come as no surprise, though. Higgins has largely sat tight during the race and avoided controversy whenever it threatened to stop at his door. The strategy has been boring, but also successful.
But whatever about Higgins' calculation or otherwise in disclosing the cannabis smoking, it seems almost certain that disclosing a mild and preferably marijuana-centered drug-taking past, while underscoring that it was an isolated incident that did not lead to dependence, it a political stratagem which could have been taken straight from Machiavelli's little handbook had it been popular among the political classes of his day (and who knows, maybe it was).
The since-deposed Brian Cowen went on the record before coming to power as being our first Taoiseach to have officially admitted to having smoked cannabis, at a time when there was little else going for him (which, on a side note, after his deposition from office that still holds true). Barack Obama's owning up to smoking cannabis and using cocaine during his college years, rather than waiting for an artful journalist to find that out in an expose, was been seen by some as a PR key tool in his successful election.
And if admitting to trying marijuana works to mobilize the traditionally stagnant student vote, an Irish politician will be slow to pass up the chance to try it, especially one as crafty as Michael D.

O Danny boy the pipes the pipes are calling! In fairness somebody "admitting" to smoking gange is hardly even news worthy at this stage. Considering that the other candidates are being accused of supporing paedophilia, being murderers or worse again supporting Fianna Fail, this kind of pales into insignificance. Who even asks politicians this? and does anybody care?

"The attack at #WestgateMall is just a very tiny fraction of what Muslims in Somalia experience at the hands of Kenyan invaders," another tweet said.
It's notable that Al-Shabaab was able to plan and train for such a sophisticated attack despite losing much territory in southern Somalia and around the capital, Mogadishu. As it has lost ground, the group has resorted to suicide bombings. Earlier this month it carried out a bomb attack against a restaurant popular with Westerners in Mogadishu, killing more than a dozen people.
A U.N. report issued in July noted that Al-Shabaab "has shifted its strategic posture to asymmetrical warfare in both urban centres and the countryside" but added that it "continues to control most of southern and central Somalia." The report estimated the military strength of Al-Shabaab at about 5,000 fighters, with a functioning chain of command, and said it had "preserved the core of its fighting force and resources."
After years of infighting and feuds, the Nairobi attack may also confirm the ascendancy of Al-Shabaab's most militant faction and its leader Mukhtar Abu al Zubayr (aka Ahmed Abdi Godane). Zubayr attended a madrassa in Pakistan as a young man and merged the group with al Qaeda in February 2012. He sees Al-Shabaab as part of al Qaeda's global jihad.
Dissenters have defected or been killed. Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys of Al-Shabaab's old guard surrendered to Somali authorities. And earlier this month Zubayr reportedly ordered the killing of two Western militants who were critical of his leadership style and had aligned themselves with Aweys -- Omar Hammami and Osama al Brittani. Hammami was an American from Alabama who had become a prominent mouthpiece for Al-Shabaab before publicly criticizing Zubayr last year.
Zubayr's increasingly tight grip on Al-Shabaab -- thanks to his ruthless use of the group's intelligence wing in hunting down opponents -- appears to have forestalled the collapse of Al-Shabaab, and may have made it more dangerous.
Zubayr has threatened a direct attack on the United States, and last year the U.S. offered a $7 million reward for information locating him. It would be very surprising if the attack in Nairobi did not receive his blessing, and it may be a sign of things to come as Al-Shabaab takes its war to other parts of East Africa.
Of more immediate concern to Kenyan authorities, in a country where political violence can explode quickly, is a likely backlash against Somali and Kenyan Muslims, which could create a new cycle of radicalization and unrest.

Minister Mahinda Samarasinghe said in Colombo that Sri Lanka was able to save all Tamil civilians trapped inside the war zone without shedding a drop of blood.
He said, in recent history, Sri Lanka was the country which was able to rescue the largest number of civilian hostages. He said these civilians have been trapped by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
He said this great task was possible because of the care shown regarding this by President Mahinda Rajapaksa. He said he was ready to congratulate the President on this great humanitarian endeavour.
He said this great task could not have been possible without the dedication shown by thousands of soldiers of the armed forces who were constantly engaged in the task.
Minister Samarasinghe gave an assurance that all civilians will be resettled in their original living places after all landmines have been removed.
Meanwhile People's Republic of China has donated 64,000 tents for the Tamil civilians and the first plane load of the tents reached Colombo yesterday (May 17). It was ceremonially handed over to Presidential Advisor Basil Rajapaksa by the Chinese Ambassador Ms. Yang Xiaoping in Colombo. Three more Chinese plane loads of aid will also arrive.

Welcome to Sanibel Island Hotels
compare prices for all hotels in Sanibel Island
Overdevelopment is a serious threat to wildlife and ecology, and Sanibel Island resisted the temptation, remaining an oasis of peace and quiet. The tourists are more than excited with the prospect of a vacation here and the hotels are unable to accommodate all the visitors willing to travel here during the summer. If you plan your trip well and check out which hotels have vacant rooms a few months ahead, you will enjoy a couple of days in an area that has remained virtually untouched. The wildlife refuges are some of the most visited in the USA, but the access is not allowed with motorized vehicles.
When you are tired of the long walks and sightseeing, the beautiful beaches are only a few meters away, basically all around the island.

Institutional Information
Immunization Requirements
Minnesota Law (M.S. 135A.14), effective July 1, 1990, requires that all students born after 1956 and enrolled in a public or private post-secondary school in Minnesota be immunized against tetanus, diphtheria, measles, mumps and rubella, allowing for certain specified exemptions. As a student at St. Catherine University, you are required to submit your immunization information to show compliance with this law.
By enrolling in a program of study at St. Catherine University, you must provide immunization information to the Student Compliance Office. The requirements differ depending on whether you are entering into a clinical or non-clinical program.
Immunization forms are due to the Student Compliance Office by the specified date of the first semester in which you are enrolled. This date can be found at the Student Compliance Office's website. Failure to provide all required immunization information by the deadline date will result in a hold on your record that will prevent you from registering for following semesters. In addition, a late fee may be applied to your student account. The Student Compliance Office will communicate with you through your University assigned email account. You are responsible and accountable for all information communicated in this manner.
The immunization forms for non-clinical programs of study are available in the Student Compliance Office located on the Minneapolis campus and in the Health and Wellness Center on the St. Paul campus. See the Student Compliance Office's website for all the immunization requirements and deadline dates.
To protect all persons in healthcare programs from possible exposure to communicable diseases, students enrolling in a program of study that includes an off-site clinical rotation are required to provide a more extensive health history, immunization reports, and annual updates to St. Catherine's. These requirements can be found on the Student Compliance Office's website along with the deadline dates. The forms for students in clinical programs are available in the Student Compliance Office on the Minneapolis Campus.

Great overall purchase, I love this skirt in charcoal grey. The color is a perfect alternative to a black maxi but still easy to wear. The only issue I have is that the waist is large while the rest of the skit fits perfectly. It also wrinkles relatively easy but it's easy to fix with a couple minutes in the dryer!

Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission 1111 Israel Road S.W., P.O. Box 42650, Olympia, WA 98504-2650, (360) 902-8500 Don Hoch, Director
State Parks Commission will hear update on governance at Fort Worden State Park; Regular meeting in Spokane next week
OLYMPIA – June 19, 2013 – The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission will hear a status report on an ongoing consideration about future governance at Fort Worden State Park at its regular meeting next week in Spokane. The meeting begins at 9 a.m. Thursday, June 27, at Center Place, 2426 N. Discovery Place, Spokane. A full Commission meeting agenda is online at www.parks.wa.gov/agency/commissionmeetings/. Time for public comment is provided at all regular meetings, which are scheduled six times a year at pre-determined locations around the state. The Commission directed staff in late 2012 to move forward with negotiating an agreement with the Port Townsend Lifelong Learning Center Public Development Authority (PDA) to cooperatively manage Fort Worden State Park. The intention is for the PDA to manage the campus or conference center portion of the park, while State Parks would continue to manage the campground, trails and other park features. The report indicates that staff from the Commission and the PDA agree that a final decision on future governance will be considered at the August 8 regular Commission meeting in Anacortes. Attorneys continue to negotiate a draft management agreement that will be in the form of a lease. Parks and the PDA expect a draft lease to be ready by July 17, when the PDA has a regular board meeting scheduled. The public will have an opportunity to comment on the proposal at an evening public meeting State Parks is working to schedule in Port Townsend for the evening of July 24; State Parks will announce the meeting once a time and location are confirmed. In addition, the PDA is planning a special PDA meeting for July 25 and will announce meeting details once they are set. Discussion about optimal future management of Fort Worden State Park has been under way since 2004. In 2007, the Commission adopted a vision for Fort Worden as a center for life-long learning, a financially sustainable full-service destination providing a broad array of meaningful experiences for a diverse audience of visitors. The vision recognized that State Parks would need a non-profit partner to assist with the governance and management of the park. In 2008, the Commission adopted a series of planning documents that would make Fort Worden a Life Long Learning Center, with most of the options involving a role for the Port Townsend Lifelong Learning Center PDA. The PDA's plans include fundraising to provide maintenance and improvements to campus facilities. In other regular meeting business, the Commission will consider housekeeping changes to Washington Administrative Code. Proposed changes would add commercial still photography to the requirement that a permit be obtained before undertaking commercial filming ventures in parks. Other updates include: A reservation window of earlier than nine months in advance of arrival date to reserve park facilities not on the State Parks central reservation system; and a requirement that State Parks notify the Washington State Geocache Association in addition to a cache owner before removing any cache placed on park property without a permit. Geocaching is growing in popularity, and the Washington State Geocache Association is working in partnership with State Parks to oversee a statewide GeoTour. The Commission also will hear reports and discuss a proposed 2014 Commission regular meeting schedule, an agency financial report and the 2013 legislative session. Commission work session: A Commission work session is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 26, in the Center Place Event Center, 2426 N. Discovery Place, Spokane. Work session topics include the agency capital and operations budget for 2013-15; campground reservations and variable pricing; working endowment properties; transformation strategic plan and initiatives; the Washington Wildlife Recreation Program, Washington State Parks Foundation; marketing and Lake Sammamish development. Work sessions are open to the public, however no public testimony is heard and no formal Commission action is taken at work sessions. __________________________________________________________________________________ Stay connected to your state parks by following Washington State Parks at www.facebook.com/WashingtonStateParks, www.twitter.com/WaStatePks_NEWS and www.youtube.com/WashingtonStateParks.

Group for fans going to the Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang International Circuit.
Discussion area for people going to the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix.
Does anyone know when the tickets for Malaysia 2013 go on sale?
Also, is it best to buy tickets as early as possible to get the best prices, or do they run special promotions that it might be worth waiting for?
usually 50% early bid price will be announce around Nov and that is the only good promotion during the GP.
I'm from Malaysia and I will try to help u.
Hi all,
First post here, and first time I'm considering going to a GP.
Been to KL a couple of times before (the first time when the circuit had just started been built, there was a 3D map in the airport) and am syncing it with a trip to stay with a friend in Hong Kong (who will probably come over for the race too)
I'm thinking of staying in the centre again rather than near the track, be a lot easier and there are some great restaurants around Chinatown . Grandstand choice is the main issue I guess. Is it just worth looking on their website every couple of days starting November?
(and on the off chance that somebody will know what I'm talking about, it's very hard to get into the Long Bar and see the HHH stuff at the Royal Selangor Club – I've tried. :-) )
Many thanks Iman, I'll check the circuit website in November. It's good to have local knowledge available! We're heading to Malaysia for the first time in March for our honeymoon and taking in the GP while we're in KL (luckily my wife to be loves F1 too!) I can't wait!
Good day to all,
We are planning to watch the Malaysian Grand Prix this March 2013 with our 12 year old son. The problem is he will have his graduation commencement ceremony on the 23rd of march. We will therefore arrive on the 24th at 2:50 PM at KLIA.
Q1: May I ask what time the race starts?
Q2: If it starts at 4 PM, can we still make it? (we will buy tickets ahead of time). Q2A: Can we still go in the grandstand (we are planning K1 seats) even if the race has started?
Q3: What is the fastest way to get to the circuit from KLIA?
Thank you.
@probin Hi Lito!
Q1: The race will start at 4 PM. Q2: I've gotta say, it will be VERY tight. If you arrive at KLIA at 2:50, you probably won't get out of the airport until 3:20 (due to immigration). Assuming there will be a shuttle bus leaving at 3:20 exactly, you should be at Sepang by 3:40. From there, it's a 10-minute walk (or a 5-minute run if you're cutting it very close) to the K1 grandstand. Just keep your fingers crossed that your flight will leave (and arrive) on time! But if you are late, don't worry – they will let you in even if the race has started. Q3: There should be a shuttle straight to Sepang from KLIA – you can refer to this link for more information (link is from 2010 though – 2013 packages will be available by January): http://www.kliaekspres.com/erlsb/Corporate/News/KLIATransitF1TransferPackage/tabid/230/Default.aspx
@Journeyor, Thank you very much for your response. That made me buy the tickets for the race this March. I think it is better to do this with our kids while F1 is still in Malaysia and while we can still keep up with them.
Can we take a taxi from KLIA to the circuit?
Also, we get a prepaid sim card at the airport with 3g or a data connection? We will be split into two groups as the others will not go the GP.
Thanks again
@probin Yes, you should be able to book a cab. Not sure how much it will cost, though.
Prepaid SIMs should easily be available at the airport, but I'm not sure if they come with 3G (or how much it would cost).
Make sure to have rain jackets in your hand-carry, too – you never know if it'll rain there…
I don't think a taxi would be that much, it's not that far from the airport.
Umobile do a decent SIM/3G package I believe, but I didn't have a suitable phone when I was there last time but this is from what people told me.
Immigration is fairly OK at KLIA – but I'd recommend just taking a carry-on to avoid having to hang around baggage reclaim, that way you can leg it straight out to the taxi rank!
From the Sepang Circuit Facebook page:
"F1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix 2013 will be happening on 22-24 March 2013. Early bird tickets as low as RM30 will be start selling this week."
So if you are planning to go, best to start checking their website everyday starting today.
Tickets are on sale now.
Hi Every One :) First time in going to watch a F1 race !!! So in the planning process of considering for it to be the Malaysian F1 2013. On deciding the seat reservation; What is the best area of seats in the K1 Grand Stand which will give a better view of cars and for some photography ? as in Is it Block A,B or C and is it upper seats or lower seats ?
I didn't sleep in it, but I've been in a room at the Tunes hotel in Kuching, Borneo. Was ridiculously cramped.
When I've been to KL I've stayed in the centre, whilst I don't know if they will ramp prices up for when the circuis is in town they are reasonably priced, look round the Bukit Bintang (I think…) area. Some nice restaurants there too.
@anuk Go for Block A in the K1 grandstand and get higher seats if possible. You'll see the pit lane and main straight head on along with turns 1, 2 and a bit of 4 in the distance. Always good for a bit of DRS action.
@garns Tune hotel is a budget chain under the Tune Group run by Tony Fernandes, which also happens to include the Caterham F1 team. So if you're a fan, stay there and you might just contribute 0.00000000000000001% to next season's budget!

Days Long Passed
Memories float in,
A hint of joy, a hint of sin
Reminders of all that has been
You come to me,
From so long ago,
So far away,
Another person I used to know
And now, it seems,
As we speak our empty words
You pierce my heart
A laugh like swords
Feelings re-awakened
From a dark corner within
Could I let this happen?
How would it begin?
What am I doing?
I know this is wrong
Yet still, you fill my head
As does that old familiar song
A flood of memory
Washes through my mind
The torrent of what could be
Is blinding me
I remember who I was
The things I did,
Just because
These thoughts of you,
They make me want to
Do all the things I used to do
I am not who I was
But is that good or bad?
Seeing you now,
It makes me so sad
Because of all we almost had
I am a monster for wanting this
But I know it could be bliss
On replay in my mind
That very first kiss


text: So the last time I posted something on this blog was back in May. I treated you to some story about how after a month of lazy bumming I will now post regularly. I obviously lied. To my defense, what has happened in the past months can only be characterized as me falling into a black hole. You know… time warp. It happens to all of us periodically. Some of us realize that they've been black-holed after five months and others realize this after fifty years. What happens then, you may ask. Well… Option 1: You crawl back into your black hole. Depression ensues, followed by amateur philosophizing about the nature of time and men… or Option 2: You decide to fight against the black hole. In the immortal words of Bridget Jones, you choose vodka and Chaka Khan. Or in my case, you make French toast for breakfast. Delicious, fluffy, cinnamon-scented, black-hole-combating French Toast to be precise. The announcement that I will be making French Toast has been met with some resistance from the husband, who promptly announced that he hates French Toast and if I decide to make it after all, it should be without cinnamon because he hates cinnamon. This later got reduced to the demand of not putting cinnamon on his share (which is kind of perplexing, because after he announced that he hates French toast, I kind of assumed that he wouldn't have any at all and the black-hole French toast will be mine and only mine). In any case, husband's objections have been promptly ignored on both counts. I have been taught from experience that when he claims to hate innocent foods such as pancakes or lentils or French toast, it soon turns out that the opposite is the case… as evidenced by the mhmmm mhmmm sound he makes while eating. This time was no exception.

"Perfect Location for ASU Event/Visit"
We chose this hotel because it was walking distance to the ASU campus and stadium. It was very convenient to be so close to both. We never had to use our vehicle for the 3 days we stayed at the hotel. The hotel is nice and clean. The employees were all nice, too. The only complaint is the extra firm beds (borderline hard), otherwise a great hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Beautiful hotel and fantastic staff. They were nice, helpful and prompt. The area on Mill Ave is pleasing to the eye with cute shops and restaurants however its a college town. We showed up to picketers for and against the war in Syria. Some were being arrested. The nightclub across the street was so loud and we couldn't sleep till almost 2am then we […] heard gun shots.

First, it's not right to say my deal includes, fees, but then to make me pay a resort fee when I get there. For that reason alone I won't be back. Second, the hotel was clean and friendly, but we had to phone security twice in the wee hours to quiet the parties in our hallway. They should be on top of that better.

The room was a King room and was very clean. Room included a fridge as well with plenty of closet and drawer space!! We would stay here again anytime.

The valet only parking was good and bad, in the day time, you have staff to park your car, at night they use security as valets and you wait, I waited a total of ten minutes for the guard so my car would be given to me to drive off in and another ten for him to park it when I returned.

"Great location right in Downtown Tempe"
Hotel staff was very professional and helpful. The $14 resort fee (which was then taxed, so it was really $19) is a little high for the region considering the amenities.

"Great hotel walking distance to campus"
We needed to attend orientation at ASU and the hotel is in great walking distance to the campus and nearby restaurants so we decided to stay here a second time. We don't even need a car, the hotel picks us up and returns us to the airport and there are enough restaurants around the area to walk. The staff is always incredibly friendly and our rooms […] are always cleaned very well. If I had a complaint it would be that the pool bar/snack area doesn't open until noon. We went to the pool about 10 am and would have liked something to drink and snack on before checking out but couldn't get anything so we had to wait until we got to the airport at 1:30 to get anything to eat. I thought noon was a little late and that 10 am should be a good time to open as I've never been anywhere that I had to wait until noon, especially when I was checking out and just wanted a good mid morning snack. We stayed in an interior courtyard room this time and it was lovely, I will request those from now on as they are much quieter than being on the outside next to the street. Even though there are always lots of business meetings and conferences going on it is always still very quiet and relaxing. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

My friends and I stayed at the Palms for a stay-cation! We had a great time going out on Mill Ave one night. The hotel is close to some great places. The next night we took the light rail downtown!
