Postcard From Our Traveler: Our Trip of a Lifetime
Our trip has been incredible! We are in Hong Kong now until 3/3, but we are
done with the whole part you helped plan. And I want to tell you that
everything you said was true. :-)
Having you/your company take care of all the arrangements was a major plus
factor, and as you had said, if we could afford it, it was well worth the
money. This type of travel, flying from point to point with passport
controls, hotels, languages, etc. is very wearying, and we feel that the
reason it was less so was because we were met in each country. This took
some of the foreignness out of the experience.
For us, having the cruise to break up the being on the move format was
delightful. Of course, the sightseeing was superficial being in each place
such a short time, but we mostly like the ship life of having everything
there and easy. We would have done better to have had you arrange for land
tours for us from the ship, as you suggested. Many of them were silly
stopping at different factories, etc.
Here is a little feedback, which I think you would want, but honestly you
are hearing from some EXTREMELY satisfied clients.
The guides were excellent; they were all such nice people, friendly, and
eager to please. The one in Myanmar, her name is Toe Khin Khin, was far and
away the best. And having her fly with us to Bagan (our favorite place)
made things so easy. She had lots of information, laughing and so much
fun to be with, sensitive about what her clients like to do, and the most
rare quality she has is fitting in with the exact mood that is called for.
For example, when we were in a temple and feeling spiritually connected or
watching a sunset, she laid back and just enjoyed that feeling with us. She
pointed out special opportunities that we just lucked into: seeing the
children's novitiate procession in Bagan and also attending her coworker's
wedding reception.
Hotels were beautiful. One thing that amazes me is that none of them had
more than 2 dresser drawers for clothing. We sometimes had an additional
little cabinet brought to the room. Of course a cruise ship spoils us all,
since every nook and cranny is outfitted with more drawers and closets than
you could use. The pool in Siem Reap was fabulous – gorgeous, huge, warm -
although the room was quite tiny. The pool in Laos was not heated, and with
the 30 degree drop in temperature at night, it was unusable. The charming
manager Eddie said they have a plan to heat the pool in the future.
Tom, the choice of places to go, how much time to spend in each place, the
sequence of when to go where — was just about perfect. We appreciated your
info book encouraging clients to speak up and tell their guides what they
like to do best. When Toe told us that our second day in Bagan was going to
be spent on a 3-hour drive each way to Mt. Popa, we said NO WAY. We could
not tear ourselves away from the spiritual other-worldly experience of just
being amidst these pagodas. So we stayed in the area and found marvelous
things to do.
Thank you so much for the work you put into making this a trip of a lifetime
for us. We will never forget it and hope we have a chance to recommend you
to others in the future.
Kind regards,
Lenore & Peter,
New York, NY
Lenore and Peter embarked on a custom Asia trip, discovering: Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and Singapore. Their custom itinerary was planned by Asia Travel Specialist, Tom Lastick. This was their first trip with Asia Transpacific Journeys.
While in Vietnam we had an unexpected and amazing experience. Remember I am an ol' hippie and draft dodger of the Vietnam War era. The famous Pulitzer Prize winning photo of a little girl running naked through the streets of her village after being showered with napalm has haunted me for decades, as it has many others. I'm sure you know the picture. She is called simply the "Girl in the Picture". Well we got to spend the afternoon at her home with her family and learned all about what happened to her after that tragedy. Everyone in the house (me, MJ, and our guide) were in tears as we looked at albums and watched videos. Her name is Kim Phuc and she now lives in Toronto, after defecting there in the early 90's. If you happen to be interested you can google her. There are info and you tube videos there on her site. My guide had never been there. I just asked her to take me to Kim's village of Trang Bang after our Cao Dai temple visit (Trang Bang was about an hour out of our way, an advantage of custom travel) and we just ended up in Kim's home talking to her brother's wife and children. Her brother is in the photo in front of Kim. He was not burned.
She was burned over 50 percent of her body which has near a hundred percent mortality. The photographer who took the photo grabbed her and doused her with water then took her to the local clinic. The next day he went back to check on her and she was in the morgue. He promptly discovered that she was not dead and took her to a regional hospital where she was transferred to Saigon. She subsequently spent 18 months in the hospital and had 17 surgeries, many of them by a burn specialist from the Univ of Chicago. Many people took an interest in her and contributed to her ultimate survival and this is all chronicled on the video and how she has kept up with them over the years and vice versa.
After all this Kim decided she wanted to be a doctor but Vietnam had other ideas. The govt jerked her out of school to send her all over the country and world to talk about the American imperialists who did this to her. She obviously did not want to do this. In the early 90's she landed in Toronto on one of these propaganda tours. She got off the plane and asked for asylum and was granted it. It took several years but eventually her mom was allowed to move to Canada and Kim met a Vietnamese gentleman and they were married and had 2 children. She went to the Univ of Chicago to lecture at the request of the burn surgeon and was the keynote speaker at a huge Veterans Day celebration in Wash DC at the Vietnam Memorial. It was here that she met the American pilot who had ordered the mission that dropped the bomb. The pilot who actually flew the mission dropped the bomb on the Cao Dai temple (where the children were hiding) by mistake. He was a South Vietnamese. Over the years she has met all of these people and made a lot of peace for herself and them. She is now a UNESCO spokesperson and is extremely gracious, lovely and articulate. The video showed a lot of this happening and you can imagine how moving it was.
You can google Kim Phuc if you are interested and see some You Tube videos about all this. They are short and not nearly as good as the one I saw which is black market. I would love to get a copy but I doubt that will ever happen. There is a book about all this called "The Girl In the Picture" which I bought and intend to read soon.
As you can imagine I have left much of the story out but this was one of those very special days which occasionally break up the monotony of life and really give it meaning. Kim's story in complicated ways has helped me to deal with my own demons about the Vietnam War.

The Koh Ker Beng Melia extesion was a fantastic wonderful surprise…to feel like Henri Mouhot with no one , virtually there…. FANTASTIC !!!!
Connected with Thuzar tho all too briefly as the hotel botched up room numbers and left her sitting in the lobby. Alas. but got to see her wedding pix and cute crawler baby pix.
Our Cambodia time felt like a whole other trip …wonderful.
Many thanks for all your planning. We enjoyed the other couples as well though being younger they had a whole lot more energy.
Took in the Angkor theater also… very nicely done in air conditioned comfort.
Many thanks once more,

A Postcard from Our Traveler: An Unforgettable Adventure
Howard and Miriam S. recount their experience with a custom Vietnam luxury travel package from Asia Transpacific Journeys:
We were very satisfied with the itinerary that you helped us develop for our twelve days in the country. Our days were very full. Most nights we fell asleep before 9 o'clock P.M., tired, satisfied and still a little jet lagged. I suppose we would have enjoyed the luxury of having a couple of half days with nothing scheduled so we could rest and catch our breath. Nevertheless the full days allowed us to see and experience many incredible things.
Our three guides, Lan, Hung and Vu, were excellent. Each man met us at the airport and took us where we needed to be without any problems. They were always on time. They were friendly, knowledgeable and spoke freely with us about all kinds of issues, including government corruption, the War, religion, family structure, etc. We definitely learned more from our guides on our custom trip than had we been part of a large group tour (of Vietnam).
Sometimes we enjoyed going off script with our guide. In Hanoi, we told Lan that we wanted to more closely experience life in the city. Lan took us on a meandering walking tour of the flower district near central Hanoi. That was a great detour for us. Then, at our request, Lan took us to a gritty local restaurant he knew well, that served some of the best pho' in Hanoi.
We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay at the Sofitel Hotel in Hanoi. The room was luxurious and the service was superior. We enjoyed waking up to the sumptuous breakfast buffet every morning.
While waiting for Lan to pick us up one rainy morning, we saw a taxi back up into a woman speeding along on a scooter. She appeared to be hurt but help came right away. Otherwise, we were amazed how motorists were able to maneuver around each other without regard to traffic rules, without running into each other. This is one of our lasting impressions of our Vietnam experience.
In our one full day in Hanoi, we saw Ho Chi Minh's tomb, the One Pillar Pagoda, Ho's home, the Museum of Ethnology, Hoa Lo Prison, and capped off the day with a wild cyclo ride in the French Quarter. The day was rainy and hazy which only added to the experience.
The next day we drove 3 1/2 hours through numerous small towns to Ha Long Bay. Our time spent at Ha Long may have been the highlight of the trip. We received a warm welcome from the Paradise Cruise people. We were escorted to our ship, the "Paradise Luxury," which lived up to its name. The accommodations were luxurious, the food was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed a rowboat tour of a fishing village and the next morning enjoyed a hike through a large cave on one of the islands. The air was misty, just like every photograph of Ha Long that we have ever seen. We probably would have enjoyed spending one more night and day cruising around the islands of Ha Long Bay.
We flew to Da Nang and were met at the airport by our new guide, Hung. From that point we were with Hung for nearly five days. We enjoyed every moment with him. He exhibited a deep understanding of Vietnamese history and culture. He is an amateur photographer with a wonderful eye for beauty.
We were very satisfied with our accommodations in Hoi An at the Life Heritage Resort. We liked how we could take a few steps from the calm of the resort and find ourselves surrounded by the hustle and bustle of Hoi An's marketplace. We found a nice Vietnamese lady who washed all of our clothes, same day service, for $5, whose business was three steps away from the hotel.
We have many, many exquisite memories of our time with Hung in Hoi An and Hue. The morning of our first whole day in Hoi An, Hung led us through a 16-mile bicycle loop past lovely neighborhoods, new beach front hotel developments, shrimp farms, pig farms, a spice village and finally, the center of Hoi An. Hung met us that morning, promptly, with excellent quality mountain bikes and helmets for everyone.
Along the way, we were fortunate to call on Rod Sims, an American Vietnam War veteran from Georgia who has returned to the Hoi An area to live out his days. Apparently Rod has lived with extreme feelings of remorse and guilt over his involvement in the Vietnam War. He expressed to us that he is now devoting his life to doing good deeds for the Vietnam people, including raising money for children with birth defects. We felt honored and inspired to spend 30 minutes with Rod in his home.
We spent a long day driving over 400 km to see some rather notorious historical sites associated with the Vietnam War. Hung noted that it was rare for Americans to ask to be taken to such out-of-the-way places. For many years I have wanted to visit My Lai. We drove a long way to get there. When we arrived, we viewed a short documentary of the massacre and toured the small museum, which did not shy away from presenting every horror that happened that day. We saw foundations of the homes that were burned to the ground which had signs listing the names, sex and age of every occupant who was killed. We are both so glad that we visited My Lai. We went inside the Vinh Moc tunnels (these are the ones where a person can almost stand up). We stopped at fire support base Camp Carroll and later visited the marine base at Khe Sanh. These were meaningful stops. We were able to appreciate the densely forested mountains that surround these places, which helped us appreciate where and how the War was fought. We crossed the rebuilt bridge spanning Hien Long River at Dong Ha, in the DMZ. It was incredible to stand where so much history has been made.
Hung took us to My Son to wander among the Hindu Temples. Apparently, the original 70 temples have been reduced in number to a mere 20. We arrived at My Son on a drizzly late afternoon after all of the tourists had left. I think we both felt a little like Indiana Jones. We both felt the magic that I have felt a few times in my life when standing in a sacred place.
We decided to drive over the mountain pass rather than through the tunnel on our drive from Hoi An to Hue. Glad we did. The views of the coastline were spectacular. We took a full afternoon to explore what's left of the Forbidden City in Hue. While much of the site was destroyed and badly damaged at the Tet Offensive, what's left still left us in awe. We wandered from building to building, through lovely ornate gates bearing images of dragons and the phoenix. We were able to sense the grandeur of the Imperial Court as it existed in the 19th Century.
A word about the Pilgrimage Resort where we stayed while we were in Hue: The resort itself is reason enough to visit Hue. The bungalow-style suite, eco-friendly landscaping and pool were beautiful beyond words. We would have been very happy to stay there for a few extra nights.
We felt particularly close to Hung, liked him a great deal and had a bit of an emotional farewell at the airport in Hue. We were met by our third guide, Vu, when we arrived at HCM City. We had a busy day shopping in the frenetic market place, stopping for lunch at Pho' 2000 (where Bill Clinton also stopped for lunch), touring the Reunification Palace and visiting the War Remnants Museum. At this point, I think my wife, Miriam, had had enough of unexploded bombs, photos of human tragedies caused by the War, etc.. Still, these displays were informative (notwithstanding the propaganda) and deserve to be seen.
Our accommodations at the Caravelle Hotel were very satisfactory. We enjoyed the central location which allowed us to wonder away from the hotel for dinner and to explore the historic neighboring hotels, City Hall and a somewhat incongruous upscale mall.
We took a long drive west toward the Cambodian border with Vu to visit the fascinating Cao Dai Pagoda. We saw a religious ceremony in progress. We then visited the Cou Chi Tunnels. We could not resist the temptation of disappearing in the tunnels ourselves to experience real claustrophobia. As much as anything, experiencing the tunnels impressed upon us the strength of the Vietnamese people, their love of country and their will to survive.
We left HCM City for Phuket, Thailand, where we rested and relaxed for eight days. Our trip was a perfect combination of intense activity, followed by a chance to replenish ourselves.
As you know, I had had some prior experience visiting Southeast Asia in my trip to Burma in 1999. For Miriam, however, this was baptism by fire, because she had never before been to Asia. This was an unforgettable adventure for both of us. We felt as though we really saw and experienced a great deal, although Hung was quick to point out that we had merely "scratched the surface". Still, we had a very rich experience indeed. We saw first hand, an ancient culture rooted in tradition which finally has a chance, in peace, to develop fully into a modern nation. Life in Vietnam seems to play out right on the street. Lots of contradictions, but a place that we would relish the chance to return to.
Perhaps we'll talk in a year or two about planning an adventure to Laos and Cambodia. Our thanks to you, Lesa and your staff for orchestrating such a memorable and smooth adventure for us.

A Postcard from Our Traveler: A Trip We'll Treasure
John H. of Wisconsin recounts his experience with one of our group trips to Vietnam:
Linda and I returned home this afternoon after a great trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Bali.
We had a fascinating time and all the arrangements couldn't have been better. Thanks to you and your Asia Transpacific Journeys colleagues for helping make this such an interesting and memorable trip.
The guides and drivers in each country were all helpful and informative and went out of their way to help make our visits outstanding. The hotels were excellent, and the detailed itineraries interesting and very well geared to our interests.
In short, we had a terrific time, and more than once turned to each other and said "Asia Transpacific really has done a great job!"
Thanks for making this a trip we'll treasure.
Best regards,

Elise R. recounts her experience with a custom "travel to Myanmar" package from Asia Transpacific Journeys:
Our time in Myanmar was utterly fantastic! Loved every minute.
Our guide, Win Htoon, was the BEST GUIDE EVER. She had a expert grasp of English, a broad knowledge of everything Myanmar and beyond and a wealth of insider places to take us, off the "beaten track." Further, she is a clothes horse– she was styling in a different wonderful Myanmar fabric every day… looked fantastic! By the end of the trip, she was just another family member traveling along and enjoying the moments with us… laughing all the way. We even taught her to snorkel at McCloud island! And, at Sharon's super wonderful surprise birthday party at the Green Elephant (how can we ever repay your generosity?), Gregg gave her his Kindle (about 35 books loaded on it). We tipped her well. Can you get her a visa to visit us? She was superb.
McCloud Island was heaven. Our own deserted island in paradise. The bungalows were spacious, beautiful mosquito netting, immediate hot water, sheets and towels changed every day, great food. Our cabana had a more modern air conditioning unit than Gregg and Ken had … oh well. The snorkeling was fantastic. There were only 11 guests.
Unlike Khao Lak Resort (however, great room again, dude!) which was full to capacity–mostly with grumpy dumpy Germans and sequestered serious Swedes. They all looked out of their comfort zone at a beach scene.
As far as I am concerned, it was a total waste of time to go to Phuket. But I was out voted and Sharon insisted I make a compromise (Gregg and Ken wanted to end their vacation at a beach Resort–they still have to work for a living and wanted down time). It was time I would have preferred spent exploring more of Myanmar! But what's done is done.
I would like to return and do some more tribe exploring in Kachin State and Kayah State. But I suppose there are too many places to go in the world and I probably will never return. We'll see.
It was all so superb and remarkable. And changing rapidly!!!!! We were mostly vegetarians on the trip and Win ordered for us— great, sumptuous feasts of food.
Good bye for now,
Elise R.

Postcard from Our Traveler: We Had a Fabulous Time!
Just a quick note to let you know that we had a fabulous time! It could not have been more engaging, fun, enlightening. Even the flooding in Bangkok was interesting. The guide Nyi Nyi Naing was with us the entire time and was absolutely fantastic!
This was the best trip we've ever taken. Will try to call you this or next week. Thank you.

Meet the Weiner Truthers: A Year On, And a Hardy Few Are Still Doggedly Investigating Who Framed Anthony Weiner
Funny piece on BuzzFeed by some real Mensa Chapter Presidents.
As one Rhodes semifinalist explains:
Dude, he was set up, "admitted" it to have it all go away and protect his family.
A left-wing blog which once eagerly promoted the Yfrog hack theory and assorted other #Hacked! theories explains:
1. These twilight warriors are obsessed with hacking and related matters. Some of them claim to have worked with Anonymous and LulzSec and allied organizations.
He then goes on discuss similar craziness from the right -- craziness which consists of, as far as I can tell, the "underhanded" tactics of James O'Keefe (hidden camera exposes of public officials and important private-institution officials is wrong, I guess) and people like Patterico, who believe it's wrong to have SWAT called on them, and who think Brett Kimberlin is a rather dangerous fellow.
It doesn't seem to occur to this numbnuts that people had SWAT called on them specifically due to their roles in exposing Weiner's misbehavior.
I myself had a threatening letter written to me by someone posing as (or who actually is, but I doubt it) a seriously dangerous campaign fixer ready, willing, and able to bring harm upon my family.
So, the left-wing Weiner Trutherism is crazies who think Weiner was innocent, and then SWAT and threaten those who don't think he was innocent; and the right-wing Weiner weirdoes are those who don't wish to be SWATted or threatened, and who sort of think such things are both newsworthy and wrong.
Pox on both houses, eh?

Living the eco-life in Cornwall
A year ago, the Strawbridge family swapped their comfortable suburban life for self-sufficiency in a dilapidated house in Cornwall. Sanjida O'Connell visits their solar-powered, wool-insulated eco-haven
Monday 20 March 2006
"Coriander!" I squawk. It's still officially winter (it's minus 6C in Cornwall) and, in their unheated greenhouse, the Strawbridges have a flourishing crop of coriander, along with rocket, purslane and a monster komatsuma, a Chinese vegetable that looks as if it's about to morph into a triffid. The secret, apparently, is a metre-square hole in the ground full of crushed glass, a mini solar panel and a fan scavenged from the inside of a computer.
The Strawbridges, Dick and Brigit and their children James and Charlotte, are the stars of a new BBC2 series, It's Not Easy Being Green, about their transition from suburban life in the Malverns, where they recycled some waste and bought organic veg, to a lifestyle that is a rather darker shade of green.
"I don't want to wear a hemp shirt and hairy knickers, I want a 21st-century lifestyle with a coffee machine," announces Dick. He retired from the Army as a lieutenant colonel and worked in the defence industry before becoming a presenter on war documentaries and Scrapheap Challenge. Somehow, this hunting, shooting, fishing soldier has managed to remain happily married for 25 years to a slightly hippie chick, draped in scarves and dangly jewellery, who would be quite happy in a hairy shirt and hemp underwear.
Last year the family decided to sell their house and buy somewhere slightly larger. Dick had aspirations to live off the land and be self-sufficient. He says: "I like food, and being self-sufficient is the ultimate way of being in control. I'm not that interested in the planet." This gradually metamorphosed into living a sustainable life, with the hard-edged premise that it be comfortable and pay for itself.
The only place they could find that fitted all their criteria - from size to outbuildings to its own water supply - turned out to be in Cornwall. "I was quite cross about it," says Brigit. "We couldn't afford the house, it wasn't in the Malverns and it was huge and dark. I was very scared about the whole thing." In spite of her reservations, the family bought the house and have flung themselves into a green lifestyle conversion. "We've picked some great brains," says Dick, referring to Jim Milner, a physicist, and Anda Phillips, an organic gardener (who currently live with them), Donnachadh McCarthy, who carries out green audits, and permaculture expert Patrick Whitefield. "But we've had some conflicting advice..." "And then we both have to agree," interrupts Brigit. "But we've done it in an intelligent way," continues Dick. "We're not skipping around with stars in our eyes - this is our real life."
With food being central to their lives, the Strawbridges have learnt how to grow almost all their own vegetables. In March, as well as the extraordinary salad from their solar-heated greenhouse, we have soup made from a medley of squash. To satisfy Dick's needs, he's started keeping pigs and has already eaten and frozen two. A string of salami hangs outside, he's curing a ham, has taught himself to make chorizo and bought a sausage-making machine. "There's conflict over the pigs," says Brigit, who doesn't like the idea of keeping and killing animals. Dick says: "The quality of meat is awesome. I'm bloody ecstatic. It's the best pork you can ever eat." "I still feel it's wrong," says Brigit. "How can you look at those pigs and not feel hungry?" demands Dick. "Look how happy they are. They're going to travel all of 50 metres from their field to my plate."
There is considerably less conflict over the heating and power arrangements. Jim and Dick, with help from James and a team of his fellow students, dug five tons of earth out of the garden, erected an aqueduct to divert the small stream and built a water wheel. The motion of the wheel is converted to electricity and powers all the lights in the house. They have also erected two wind turbines, one to power their fridges and freezers - the most energy-guzzling appliances in the house - the other to operate a small pump, which supplies water on demand to the house from their spring.
"This was the cherry on the icing on the cake," says Brigit of the discovery of a freshwater spring bubbling out of the ground, sheathed in watercress. Their battery-rescued hens make a beeline for it when Dick opens the trapdoor above the stream to expose a flurry of woodlice. "That's the sound of free energy," he says as the turbine purrs overhead.
Then there is a bank of solar thermal exchangers, which use the sun to warm their water. All of this equipment was bought cheaply - one of the turbines (including the battery and pump) cost £300, while £400 buys a solar thermal system powerful enough to heat an average family's water. What is expensive is fitting it. The solar system costs £4,000 but Dick did it himself . "It's simple, Janet and John plumbing."
Inside the house there are four wood-burning stoves that will be connected up to a boiler to heat radiators. Willow, hazel and other fast-burning woods have been planted for coppicing in three to four years' time. In the meantime, the house has been insulated with wool and textiles and fitted with whole-house ventilation. This is where the warmed air from downstairs is pumped up to a box in the attic, heating air that comes in through the roof, which has been filtered to remove pollutants. This means the air in the house is changed once an hour, solving the chronic damp problem that used to exist. As Brigit says: "It's like being able to have the windows open in winter. No one ever gets ill."
"When I first visited them in the Malverns they had done a lot of small things, like growing herbs and recycling," says Donnachadh McCarthy. "But it's amazing what they've done in Cornwall. My jaw just kept dropping."
He was most impressed by their compost loo. "One wants to sit and read a book in it all day." The lavatory, a glorified garden shed, has a solar-powered light and a bag of sawdust to drop down afterwards. Urine is siphoned off to add to the compost and after two years the hatch at the bottom will be opened and the hopefully sweet-smelling "night soil" will be removed to be spread round the newly planted fruit trees.
Dick has kept his motorbike ("I don't suffer from Catholic guilt") but runs his car on vegetable oil. With Jim's expert help, they've rigged up a simple but seemingly complex set of pumps and oil drums. Used vegetable oil from a restaurant in Mevagissey goes in one end, and alcohol and caustic soda are added to turn 80 per cent of the chip fat into a thin oil that can replace diesel without having to convert the car. The waste product, glycerine, is dumped on the compost.
"We've come a long way very quickly," says Brigit, surveying the house, which had been a roofless, damp wreck, and their hectare of land, once choked with brambles and nettles, now blooming with wind turbines and giant red mustard leaves. "We're not preachy, and it isn't all easy being green, but it's fun trying," adds Dick.
Sanjida O'Connell is the author of Sugar: The Grass that Changed the World, published by Virgin Books, £8.99; It's Not Easy Being Green will be broadcast on BBC 2, on 28 March at 8pm; www.patrickwhitefield.co.uk; www.threeacorns.co.uk
How to lead an eco-friendly existence
Change your electricity to a green energy supplier. According to a survey by BBC Wildlife magazine, Ecotricity is the best.
Use light-saving electricity bulbs and don't use recessed halogen spotlights - each one burns 50 watts.
Make sure your kitchen appliances are energy efficient, denoted by an A+ rating. The extra cost will pay for itself by the reduction in your electricity bill.
Buy as many goods second-hand as possible at car boot sales, charity shops and on eBay.
Create a compost bin.
Don't just recycle - reduce, reuse and repair.
Cycle or walk when you can. Most journeys are less than four miles.
Buy organic meat, cheese and vegetables from farmers' markets and box delivery schemes.
Only eat organic meat, and then only once a week.
Use environmentally friendly paints when decorating.

Enrique Iglesias - Push ft. Lil Wayne
Artist: Enrique Iglesias
Producer: Steve Morales
Album: Insomniac
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 12 votes )
Back in the day (5 years ago) when an artist needed a feature verse or sixteen bars for a remix, they would call Chitown's Twista. Since the ball dropped on 2007 however, Lil' Wayne has taken over as the newest in demand artist. In fact, Weezy has been featured on more songs over the past six months, than singer Maxwell has made in the last six years. This time we find Enrique Iglesias, last heard of in the 90's, jumping on the bandwagon for Wayne's services. Although Push might not qualify as a truly urban record, it will certainly get people out on the dance floor at the club.

Workshop: NVivo and EndNote
NVivo and EndNote
October 20, 2014
3:30-5:00 pm
Room 211, Hodges Library
Register at workshop.utk.edu
This course will teach users how to combine NVivo 10 and EndNote to interface citations with research. Bibliographic data, including full-text articles, can be found and archived in EndNote and then transferred to NVivo for analysis. Most researchers use a bibliographic program to organize references and for the 'Cite while you write' function. Learning to use NVivo along with Endnote will allow you to add notes or annotations to your bibliographic database as you review your references. If you have added notes (or other material), NVivo can help you write a review of the literature in a particular area of research, or help you conduct an analysis of the literature (or other documentary sources) pertaining to a particular area of research.
Taught by Rochelle Butler, Qualitative Research Consultant, OIT Research Computing Support, and Jeanine Williamson, engineering librarian.

New Streaming Movie Option!
In addition to our popular Residence Life Cinema, we have added Criterion-On-Demand USA to our suite of streaming services. Criterion-On-Demand USA has a collection of over 600 films available at all times.
Films from this service are available off campus, and can even be downloaded to a computer for 48 hours. Off campus users will be asked for their Net ID and password (just like some of the databases do when accessing off campus). This service requires a download of "Criterion Silverlight Player", which most of you have already downloaded. Films can be streamed with or without subtitles, and they can be watched individually but cannot be shown at group events.
Criterion-On-Demand USA offers films from 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks SKG, MTV Films, Open Road Films, Fox Searchlight, and some additional smaller studios. New films are added quarterly. Please note that this is not the Criterion Collection of remade classic films and art films. You can begin watching anytime here
Amy Billone at WRITERS IN THE LIBRARY, Sept. 29
Amy Billone will read from her new poetry collection at UT's Writers in the Library on Monday, September 29, at 7 p.m. in the Lindsay Young Auditorium of the John C. Hodges Library. The reading is free and open to the public.
Billone's poetry collection, The Light Changes — named one of Kirkus Review's best books of 2013 — invokes the biographical and creative worlds of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sylvia Plath, and Virginia Woolf. Kirkus has called the book "thrilling in its courageousness, breathtaking in its vividness." The Light Changes also won the IndieReader Discovery Award in Poetry in 2014.
Amy Billone is currently an associate professor of English at the University of Tennessee, where she teaches courses on 19th century literature, children's and young adult literature, and world literature. Her areas of expertise include romanticism, children's and young adult literature, Victorian poetry, gothic studies, creative writing, women writers, and continental poetry. Her scholarly book Little Songs: Women, Silence, and the Nineteenth-Century Sonnet (2007) is informed by her unique perspective as a woman poet. As the only extended study of 19th century female sonneteers, Little Songs sheds light on the overwhelming impact that silence makes, not only on British women's poetry, but also on the development of modern poetry and thought. Amy Billone also wrote the introduction and notes for the Barnes and Noble Classics edition of Peter Pan (2005).
Writers in the Library is sponsored by the University of Tennessee Libraries and the UT Creative Writing Program in association with the John C. Hodges Better English Fund. For further information contact Marilyn Kallet, Director, UT Creative Writing Program (email@example.com), or Christopher Hebert, Writer-in-Residence, UT Libraries (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Banned Books Week, Sept. 21-27
Literature is a powerful force! Every September, libraries and bookstores across the country celebrate Banned Books Week to honor the freedom to read and to draw attention to banned and challenged books.
Join the UT Libraries to celebrate your First Amendment rights during Banned Books Week. We are fortunate to live in a nation that protects the expression of even unpopular or unorthodox points of view. But intellectual freedom is in danger when restraints are imposed on the availability of information in a free society.
Let's take this opportunity to state our support for ensuring that all viewpoints are available to those who wish to read them.
Read a banned or challenged book. Follow our chalkboard in Hodges Library (next to Starbucks) for a countdown of the Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2013.
You'd be surprised: even classics like To Kill a Mockingbird and The Color Purple have been challenged. See the lists compiled by the American Library Association at ala.org/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks.
Follow along on Twitter at #volsread and #readbannedbooks and post a shout-out or a quote from your favorite banned book.
Library Hires Student Success Librarians
The University of Tennessee Libraries is pleased to announce the appointment of two new faculty members. Ingrid Ruffin (pictured, left) is Student Success Librarian for First-Year Programs. Anna Sandelli (right) is Student Success Librarian for Undergraduate User Experience.
What do Student Success Librarians do? Basically, they help students learn the tools of scholarship while adjusting to college life. Two keys to undergraduate success are finding a sense of place at the university and gaining the information literacy skills students will need in every class they take. Success at those vital steps boosts first-to-second-year retention rates and six-year graduation rates—both top priorities for the university. Our Student Success Librarians will implement and expand instruction and academic engagement programs to improve the user experience for undergraduates at UT.
Ingrid Ruffin has experience developing pre-college and first-year programs at UT; for the past two years she served as a diversity librarian resident in the UT Libraries. She is an Air Force veteran and currently serves on the Department of Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee on the Readjustment of Veterans.
Anna Sandelli comes to UT from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she worked with the User Experience team to deliver information literacy and technology instruction to undergraduates. She has a background in corporate communications with an international company for which she provided outreach and marketing services.
Statistical Consulting Expands Hours
OIT's Statistical Consulting Group is expanding its hours during the fall semester. The statisticians are part of OIT's Research Support Group. They offer assistance with a variety of services including software packages (SPSS, SAS, LabView, etc.), research planning, survey design, data analysis, and more. Their services are open to both faculty and students. Students are allotted 10 free hours per semester with additional hours available at a rate of $20 per hour.
Consulting will be available four days a week during the fall semester, excluding only Wednesdays and weekends. To arrange a session, contact Ann Reed, Xiaocun Sun, or call the support group's office at (865) 974-9900. More information about the consulting services can be found on the OIT Knowledgebase Web site.
Pendergrass Equipment Changes
Beginning Wednesday, August 20, 2014, Pendergrass Library will implement a revised equipment policy. Overall, very little has changed, but you will notice a few slight adjustments. All equipment may be renewed one time. To ensure that laptops are updated and in good working order, they must be returned when due and cannot be rechecked out. If, however, there is another laptop available, you may borrow it instead. Another change we have implemented affects our loanable chargers, calculators, and flash drives. All of these items will now loan for 24 hours instead of 2 hours. We have also added a few new pieces of equipment, which include chargers for mini and micro USB devices, as well as some Apple products. View our Technology at Pendergrass page for a full list of available equipment and the revised policy.

Future of Nursing Initiative
Thirty-five percent of baby-boomer nurses say they plan to retire, change profession, work part-time, switch to a less demanding role, or work as travel nurses, according to a survey by AMN Healthcare, a health care staffing firm. Most plan to make their career change in the next 1 to 3 years.
A total of 1,831 nurses ages 45 to 60 completed the survey. Results indicate that many respondents feel burned out. Among the findings:
* 46% of respondents said that working as a nurse has become less satisfying in the last 5 years
* less than half (44%) said they'd again choose nursing as a career if they were just starting out
* only 48% said they'd recommend nursing as a career to their children or other young people
* over 80% listed staffing shortages as their primary job frustration.
Nurses between the ages of 45 and 60 years account for 1.25 million nurses in the United States, says Marcia Faller, RN, executive vice president of AMN Healthcare. If even 10% of this group (more than 120,000 nurses) leave the profession, Faller says, "we will be hard-pressed to meet the needs of baby-boomer patients." To see full survey results, visit AMN Healthcare's Web site at http://www.amnhealthcare.com.

Can anyone help explain how Bazim-Gorag is a primordial? What are his spheres of influence? Domains?
4 posts / 0 new
#2 Jul 7, 2013 5:32:14
Primordials are god-like beings from the Elemental planes. since Limbo is now part of the Elemental Choas that would make Bazim-Gorag a Primordial. He has no speheres of Influence or Domains that im aware of, thats more of a god thing, not primordials.
#3 Jul 7, 2013 10:15:33
And yet Akadi, Grumbar, Kossuth and Istishia all have worshippers and clerics. Their spheres/domains are the respective elements they represent.
#4 Jul 7, 2013 13:28:53
Theyre like an exception, see, back during the Dawn war or whatever they sided with the gods instead of the Primordials, so while they technically would be considered primordials, theyre also gods.

My mother had made photocopies of some pages in "A Collection of upwards of Thirty Thousand Names of German, Swiss, Dutch, French and other Immigrants in Pennsylvania from 1727 to 1776" as she was seeking information on our MARSHALL ancestors. She also ran across the following entries that she felt might possibly have been HAGLER persons for whom the scribe or transcriber used unusual renderings of the German name and handwriting. The names with an asterisk are ones for people who could not write their own name; the name was written by a clerk.
p. 111 - Johan Ludwig Heger
p. 143 - Johan Philip Heileger
p. 146 - Johan Jacob Hegel
p. 162 - Philip Heger*
- Joh. Friederich Heyer
- Valentin Heyer
p. 163 - Jacob Legler
p. 172 - Valentin Heger*
p. 181 - Philip Haller
- Johan Peter Heger
Knowing that in the 1700s, spelling was not as consistent as it is today, it was our opinion that the possible misspellings of HAGLER, coupled with the first names that abound in our ancestors - Johan (John), Philip, Jacob and Peter - were particularly suspect. Do you know of anyone who has done research on the above listed names to be sure as to eliminate them from our HAGLER ancestry?
I descend from Johannes (John) Haggler/Hayglar/Hagler and his wife Barbara (maiden surname unknown). Johannes was born about 1725 and died before or about 1772/1774. Barbara & Johannes were married about 1765. At least some, if not all, their children are: John,II - the cripple ; Jacob, Phillip, Paul, & Barbara.

DSB was amazing. I've seen them before and would highly recommend them. Wanted on the other hand was not very good at all. We noticed the patio filled up when they were on. The best part of the whole night was a "chick fight" during "Faithfully". It made me feel like I was back in high school again.

Great show. Two great bands playing what we were expecting from them. We specially enjoyed DSB the tribute band of Journey. Great musicians and a very good singer, really close to Steve Perry singing. Thanks.

7 enterprise security improvements in iOS 7
Summary: iOS 7 is a major step forward in enterprise mobile security. Apple has institutionalized security techniques for which, until now, enterprises had to go to an independent MDM/MAM vendor.
6 of 8Image
Managed Open-In
When a user clicks "Share" to specify an app in which a document should open, he creates many potential software problems: Open in makes a copy of the document and the application may not be considered secure.
In iOS 7, through the MDM interfaces, IT can specify which apps are allowed to handle specific content types, potentially limiting that access to managed apps. They call this "Managed Open-In."
Per-app VPNs
System-wide VPNs on mobiles are considered undesirable, partly as a security measure and partly because the company doesn't necessarily want to run all a user's personal traffic through their VPN.
For some time, MDM vendors have been allowing IT to specify per-app VPNs: each instance of each managed app gets its own VPN tunnel. Now iOS 7 allows these per-app VPNs through the MDM interfaces.
The VPN is managed entirely by IT. When the app is launched it opens up a VPN tunnel and when it terminates it closes that tunnel. The user launches and uses the app as they normally would, and should see no difference from it running through the VPN.
At the company end, the VPN could be any of dozens of VPN products from F5, Cisco, Juniper or anyone else, but the VPN products may need to be updated to support this feature.
Image: Wikimedia Commons
Enterprise Single Sign-On
Nobody likes entering passwords, and it's all that much worse typing them on glass on a tiny phone. With Enterprise single sign-on, IT can allow users to enter one set of enterprise credentials and be authenticated for any app.
Previous versions of iOS allowed this for all apps by the same vendor, but in iOS 7 any app by any vendor can be included.
IT can also specify a set of URL prefixes to be included for single sign-on. If the user visits any site that starts with the prefix (e.g. http://www.zdnet.com/topic-apple/), iOS will send the credentials to the server.
