However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research.

Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Important Notes
From October 2018 to March 2019, Shwedagon Pagoda will be under restoration. In October and November it will be partially covered by bamboo scaffolding and from December until March it will be fully covered.
Please note that this trip is a combination of multiple G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and/or particular vehicles operating your tour may change between tour segments. You may also expect some group members to join or leave the tour, between tour segments. Also note that in some major cities in Vietnam, many hotel rooms do not have windows.
Ban Houayxay, Laos to Chiang Khong, Thailand – Laos to Thailand
Mae Sai, Thailand to Tachilek, Myanmar – Thailand to Myanmar
There may be a weight restriction for the internal flight on this tour. Each passenger is allowed to carry one checked bag with a maximum weight of 20kg (44lbs). Additional bags or excess weight charges may apply. These charges are the responsibility of the passengers.
Group Leader Description
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our Chief Experience Officers (CEO). The aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
Group Size Notes
Max 18, avg 12.
Meals Included
22 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 1 dinner
Eating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. Included breakfasts will usually be asian style consisting of noodles or congee (rice porridge) or bread and eggs. Vegetarians will be able to find a range of different foods, although in some areas the choice maybe limited. While trekking in remote regions food is included, plentiful and made of fresh local ingredients. For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Local bus, air-con bus, private vehicle, train, walking, tuk tuk, local boat, junk boat, plane.
About our Transportation
Train travel in Vietnam is very basic and train cleanliness is often not a priority for train staff. Sleeper trains normally have 4 seats per compartment, which convert into sleeping bunks (two upper and two lower). A sheet, pillow and blanket are provided, although many people prefer to bring their own sleeping sheet. At times, passengers of different genders may be required to share a sleeper train berth and/or share a compartment with people not travelling in your group.
Simple food is available on the train but many people like to stock up on freshly baked bread, cheese and fruit prior to departure. Water should also be bought before the journey.
Train journeys in Vietnam are an experience and allow you to get a real taste of Vietnam.
Local Flights
All local flights are included in the cost of your tour unless otherwise noted. It is important that we have your passport information at the time of booking in order to process these tickets. Internal flight tickets are issued locally and will be given to you prior to the flight departure.
Solo Travellers
We believe single travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and single travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Simple hotels (twin-share) or hostels (multi-share) (26 nts), sleeper trains (3 nts), homestays (2 nts), overnight bus (2 nts).
About Accommodation
A variety of styles of hotels/guesthouses are used on this trip. In many instances they might not be like what you are used to back home as service and efficiency can vary. In some areas we stay in simple local guest houses in stunning locations – rooms are small and simple and there may only be shared toilet facilities and showers.
Mekong River Homestay: Typically, the group is divided into two or more houses (depending on group size) in close proximity to each other. Sleeping arrangements are multi-share in the central living area of the homes – mattresses, blankets, pillows, and mosquito nets are provided. Bathroom facilities are shared.
Multi-share Accommodation: Multi-share same-sex accommodation is used on this tour, as such, if you are travelling with someone of a different gender you will not be in the same room. For private accommodation please see tours in our Classic Travel Style.
Joining Hotel
For details of your joining hotel please refer to your tour voucher, G Account, the G Adventures App or contact your travel agent.
Joining Instructions
When arriving at Tan Son Nhat Intl Airport in Ho Chi Minh City you can get a metered taxi from just outside of the arrival hall. The taxis are lined up outside in an orderly queue and the fare is roughly 100,000 Dong (approx 7 USD) to get to your starting point hotel. DO NOT GO WITH TAXI TOUTS AS THEY WILL TRY TO RIP YOU OFF. The airport is only 7km from the downtown District 1 so taking taxis is easy and cheap if the meter is on.
If you have paid in advance for an arrival transfer, a G Adventures representative will be at the airport to meet you. There is a common scam at the airport for non-G Adventures' drivers to pretend they are working for the company. It is very important to confirm your name and booking number with your airport transfer representative. If for any reason you are not met at the airport, please call our local support line. If you are unable to make contact for whatever reason, please make your way to the joining point hotel via taxi.
Please note that Day 1 is an arrival day and no activities have been planned for that day other then your welcome meeting in the evening, so you can arrive at any time.
A G Adventures Representative will organize a short meeting soon after arrival, during which you will meet other tour participants and receive information about general and specific aspects of the trip. A welcome note will be left for you in the hotel so you have all the necessary information regarding the meeting time. If you arrive late, s/he will leave you a message detailing what time and where you should meet the next morning.
Arrival Complications
We don't expect any problems, and nor should you, but if for any reason you are unable to commence your trip as scheduled, as soon as possible please contact your starting point hotel, requesting that you speak to or leave a message for your CEO (if you are not on a group tour please refer to the emergency contact details provided in this dossier). If you are unable to get in touch with your leader, please refer to our emergency contact details.
If you have pre-booked an airport transfer please meet your driver near the information counter at Entrance Door number 3 of the airport, in the arrival hall. If for any reason you can not locate you driver please call the emergency transfer phone number at +66 (0) 800 562777.
If you have still have not made contact with our representative within 30 minutes of clearing customs and immigration, we recommend that you make your own way to the Starting Point hotel, following the Joining Instructions. Please apply to your travel agent on your return for a refund of the transfer cost if this occurs.
Emergency Contact
Should you need to contact us during a situation of dire need, it is best to first call either the G Adventures Local Representative (if one is listed below) or our G Adventures Local Office. If for any reason you do not receive an immediate answer, please leave a detailed message and contact information, so they may return your call and assist you as soon as possible.
If you have purchased an arrival through G Adventures or if an arrival transfer is included in the cost of your tour, please note that:
Your arrival transfer has been arranged based on flight information provided to us. If you are advised of a flight schedule change within 48 hours of your scheduled arrival time, we will do our best to rearrange your arrival transfer however we cannot guarantee this. If your arrival transfer does not arrive within 30 minutes after you have exited the arrivals area please take a taxi to your start point hotel.

What to Take
What you need to bring depends on the trip you have chosen and the countries or regions you are planning to visit. We suggest that you pack as lightly as possible as your are expected to carry your own luggage. As a rule we try not to have to walk more than 15-20 minutes with your bags which is why we recommend keeping the weight of your bags between 10-15kg/22-30lb. Suitcases are not recommended for G Adventures trips! Most travellers carry a backpack or rolling bag of small to medium size (no XXL ones please!) as they need to fit under the beds when travelling on sleeper trains. You will also need a day pack/bag to carry water, cameras and other electronics like ipods and mobile phones. If your trip involves overnights in homestays, villages or camping then you usually have the opportunity to rent sleeping bags if need be instead of bringing them with you.

Visas and Entry Requirements
Please note that visas for Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar (Burma), and Laos are the responsibility of the individual traveller. The visa requirements for your trip vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. For the most up to date information please check your Government's Foreign Ministry website or with your travel agent as rules do change.
THAILAND – Most nationalities do not need a visa for Thailand for stays of 30 days or less but if you do they are available on arrival at Bangkok Airport. Please ensure you obtain a multiple entry Visa as we do exit and re-enter Thailand on this tour.
Only 15-day tourist visas are issued when entering Thailand overland. If you are staying more than 15 days you should consider getting your visa prior to your trip.
Please note that certain nationalities (including: Bhutan, China, Cyprus, Czech, Estonia, Hungary, India, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Maldives, Oman, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan and Ukraine) may not be able to obtain visa at a land border.
VIETNAM – If you require a visa for Vietnam, they need to be arranged ahead of time (BEFORE your trip) as the processing time varies and they are not available upon arrival.
As of March 2017, a select 40 nationalities are now eligible to enter Vietnam with an E-Visa. Please contact your Foreign Ministry or Vietnamese consulate to see if your nationality is eligible. Please note that you should ONLY apply for a Vietnam E-Visa if you are entering Vietnam by international airport – either Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi) or Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City).
If you are entering Vietnam by land border, please apply for a regular visa for Vietnam. Many of the land borders we travel through do not accept the Vietnam E-Visa.
Please note that while MOST countries require a Visa ahead of time for Vietnam, certain countries may be allowed entrance for 15 days with proof of exit. As of July 1st, 2015 this will include citizens of Scandinavian countries, Japan, Russia, the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. However, we STRONGLY recommend checking with your Embassy on the requirements as these change often. Please contact your Foreign Ministry for up to date entry/exit requirements. Your sales agent can assist with departure documentation from Vietnam once we are within 30 days from departure.
LAOS – Visas are issued upon arrival in Laos. You will need two passport size photographs and approx $50. Tourists are generally admitted to Laos for 15 days with a visa on arrival or for 30 days with a visa issued at a Lao embassy. Please bring lots of visa photos with you.
Please be aware that you will require four clean pages (minimum) in your passport and at least six months validity.
BURMA/MYANMAR – Passengers will need a visa in advance and should apply for one at the closest Myanmar/Burma Embassy to your country of origin. You will need to obtain the one-month visa prior to your trip start.
Starting September 1, 2016, e-visas can be used to enter Myanmar at certain land borders, including the Tachileik checkpoint used on this trip.
Please visit http://evisa.moip.gov.mm/ for the full details of the E-Visa approval letter process.
The cost of the visa is approximately $50 USD.
When filling in the form please enter the following:
Purpose of Entry: Tourism
Address in Myanmar: please use the start hotel for your tour (listed in the Joining Hotel section)
Agency Name: SunBird Tours
Agency Contact Number: 0095 1 293464/ 294050
The approval process may take up to 5 business days and the letter is valid for 90 days from the date of issue. Once the evisa approval letter is received by email, print out the approval letter and bring it with you to present upon arrival.
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
During this tour the local currencies you will use are the Thai Baht, US Dollar, Vietnamese Dong, Laos Kip and Myanmar Kyat. As currency exchange rates in Southeast Asia do fluctuate, we ask that you refer to the following website for the most up to date daily exchange rates: www.xe.com for each of the above mentioned currencies. The best way to carry your money is in debit cards, withdrawing cash in local currencies from ATM machines. ATMs are found throughout South East Asia and will generally accept cards on the Visa and Mastercard networks. It is a great idea to travel with both a Visa and Mastercard if at all possible in case of loss or problems with one card, you will have a back up. Please note, your bank will charge a fee for overseas withdrawals. USD Cash is recommended for times when ATMs are not accessible. You should bring some cash with you for emergency situations (please refer to our trip dossier) but carrying only cash is a high safety risk. ATM card/s and some cash is the ideal mix. Travellers cheques can be tricky, timely and expensive to exchange. While we do not recommend that you bring them as your primary source of funds, it is great to have one or two cheques in case of emergency. Thomas Cook or American Express travellers' cheques in US currency are the easiest to exchange. Cash advances can also be made with some banks but are time consuming and tend to have high fees attached.Credit cards can be used at some upmarket restaurants, and at some larger stores if shopping for big items. If you are bringing US Dollars, please make sure that the notes are new and in good condition. Notes older than 2003, or with any tears or blemishes may not be accepted. Be fussy with your bank when buying cash!
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $500 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
Departure Tax
Departure tax is included in all international and domestic tickets in Thailand.
It is customary in Asia to tip service providers such as waiters, at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is expected – though not compulsory – and shows an expression of satisfaction with the people who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides or drivers we use. You may do this individually, or your CEO will offer to collect the money and tip as a group. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $1.5-$3.5 USD per person per day depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture. Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $20-25 USD per person, per week can be used.

Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that sometimes we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. In Asia pharmacies tend to stock the same western drugs as you get at home but they are usually produced locally so please bring the full drug name with you when trying to purchase a prescription drug. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical and Culture Shock ratings for trip specific information. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if in the reasonable opinion of our CEO they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your CEO has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns. Your CEO will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Protests and Demonstrations- Protests and demonstrations, even those that are well intended, have the potential to turn violent with no warning. Counter protests can also turn violent. Action by security forces to disperse demonstrators and protesters may occur at any time. If you are in an area where demonstrators or protesters are gathering, avoid the temptation of staying for a good photo opportunity and leave the area immediately.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards) have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk.
We take all prudent measures in relation to your safety. For ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling, please visit:
Trip Specific Safety
We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage.
Be aware that petty theft can be an issue in some Vietnamese towns and cities especially late at night. A common tactic is opportunists on motorbikes that drive by and snatch bags. Please always leave valuables and passports etc in your hotel,in safety boxes if available,and only carry with you enough cash to spend for the day. Bags should always be carried over the neck and not left to sit on your shoulder.
We do not recommend passengers to jump or dive into Kuang Sii Waterfalls in Luang Prabang; this may result in injury.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
A Word of Warning
Please do not buy gems in Bangkok unless you know what you are doing. Even if genuine you should not expect to be able to sell them at home. If you fall victim to a gem scam, we are unable to assist you.
Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your CEO, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy please bear in mind that all clients must have medical coverage and that we require a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

Hello. My name's Marc and I have a website called CreditXtra. CreditXtra is a financial assistance portal for UK consumers. We offer credit scoring, budget planning and utility switching software as well as targeted news, money saving ideas and other general interest finance stuff.
The site is currently at Beta stage, being offered on a co-branded basis to customers of the loan broker, "Loanfinder". Having commenced trading at the end of December we have offered the service to just 75,000 users but having received positive feedback from over 94% of our users, we are now in the process of rolling the product out to the general public as well as offering the bundled software as a bolt-on for finance businesses/sites with large communities of users who would value the product.
Our typical users are non-status or C2DE (MOSAIC) consumers who are focussed on finding their way through the current challenging economic environment. Our consumers are regular users of websites like eBay and Moneysavingexpert.com, they shop at Asda and Kwik Save and read publications like the Sun, News of the World, Soap Life and People's Friend.
We are a friendly, professional and approachable company who care about our users a lot but we don't have a logo. We have tried to make the site clean, simple and easy to use. It would be great if we could communicate these ideas through a new logo - that's where you come in!
That's about it really - I would like the word CreditXtra to be presented as one word with capitalised C and X but in terms of colour, font, accompanying images, layout etc go crazy.

When I was kid, my mom would take Baby Sister and I to Blockbuster every Friday and let us rent five videos for family viewing over the weekend. The break down of the rentals usually went something like this – 1. New Release, generally action or family-friendly comedy, 2. Children's Movie, selected by Baby Sister and automatically disdained by me on the mere virtue of being the selection of a younger child, 3. 1930s-1960s Movie Musical, because I was that kind of a kid, and 4/5. Classic Comedies, culled from Blockbuster's back shelves. I would spend a significant amount of time going back up and down the aisles, trying to curate the perfect viewing experience. My mom (or occasionally my dad, when he had the odd Friday off) would casually suggest that Animal House or Blazing Saddles might be a good pick and then I would be instantly hooked, spending the following weekends trying to watch the rest of the Brooks oeuvre or researching in my Maltin guide what other films the original SNL cast had produced.
A Friday in 1998 that stands out to me, even amongst so many nights of picking up movies that would find their way on my best-of lists for years to come, was the night that Post Collegiate Dad suggested we try a Chevy Chase double feature – Fletch and Spies Like Us. I knew Chevy from the Griswold flicks and had recently seen Caddyshack for the first time, although I was more taken with Bill Murray's Carl, dropping "it's in the hole, it's in the hole!" into most of my casual conversations. But up to this point in my life, Chevy Chase was Clark Griswold and nothing more.
That Chase double-feature night changed everything. I'm not sure if anything I had encountered in my life up to that point. Whether it was Fletch insisting his name was Babar and that he didn't have any elephant books or the entire "Doctor" exchange that I still reference in my daily interactions with the doctors here, that night made me a Chase devotee. I was too young and too uninformed to know about the problems with employers, drugs, ego, and on-set difficulties – all I knew was that he was Chevy Chase and we were not and it was hilarious.
Harboring plenty of good will left from his 80's classics, I was excited when I learned that Chase was going to be part of Community. Throughout the past three seasons, the character of Pierce Hawthorne has been sometimes difficult to take but the show has provided a seemingly ideal outlet for Chase's talent – physical comedy, a blissful lack of self-awareness paired with an overstuffed ego, and misguided bantering. Watching Pierce try to slip in an Eartha Kitt sex story reference into each of the timelines of the episode "Remedial Chaos Theory" (it came up organically!), I really felt a glimmer of the old magic that made me want to dust off my Three Amigos VHS.
It saddens me to see the recent rumblings of discord between Chase and creator/executive producer Dan Harmon. I am not as unaware as I use to be and I know that this is just one in a long line of professional disputes that Chase has been involved in that will likely result in his leaving the show, but I am still just as disappointed. While I often try to ignore the behind-the-scenes antics and personalities when evaluating my pop culture intake, it's becoming increasingly more difficult to do so as the creative process is shared in real time over social media and spread so quickly over the Internet.
With that said, I also can't help but feel that hopefully a few lessons can be learned from Chevy Chase's most recent professional troubles, one that may well-serve those fresh out of college and diving into their first few jobs:
- Be careful who you say things to. Part of Chase's job is promotion – Community has never been a ratings powerhouse, so each cast member has been deployed generously to talk to reporters and journalists ranging from major publications to tiny entertainment blogs to help drive buzz. This means that even the most casual quip or jibe made about his time on the set has been repeated, circulated, and quoted ad nauseum. What may have been a careless remark about a gag or joke he didn't like has now become gospel just by sheer repetition. This just as true for office gossip, whether or not your office is on-set.
- Don't take things at the work place too seriously. Maybe you and your boss don't get along great or perhaps one of your coworkers tends to exclude you from lunch outings. Sometimes it's best not to let life at work upset your actual life outside of work. While Chase could take the mature route and ignore what he perceives as slights and attacks from Harmon, he is only adding fuel to the fire by taking things personally. It's a paycheck and sometimes, that's all it has to be, especially if you're good at what you're doing.
- It's prudent not to bad mouth your boss, especially in public. And at the end of the day, it's your boss who makes sure that paycheck keeps coming. When you do have a problem, it's always best to go straight to the source and try to have a measured, calm conversation. Airing your grievances publicly, even after you've left your job, only makes you look bad and burns bridges behind you.
- Try not to make the same mistakes twice. The most aggravating aspect of this debacle is that Chase has done all of the above multiple times in the past. This most current conflict, likely exacerbated by Harmon's own prickly personality, could have been avoided if Chase had tried to learn from his previous mistakes.
What do you think? Is my affection for the comedy genius clouding my judgement on this one? Have you ever had some Chase-like moments of unprofessional behavior? Still not sure what Community is? Leave it in the comments!

Blake's cosy three
Ryan Reynolds hit up Letterman last night. Looking good. And trim. And not wearing a cardigan – approve. I was complaining about this at the MTV Movie Awards. Also, why are men allowed to get away with beat up shoes and nice clothes? Or is that just famous men?
Today Ryan was photographed again leaving his hotel in a waistcoat and really nice forearms with grey pants worn well. He is in town of course (and Blake Lively too) for a last big publicity push for the Green Lantern opening this weekend. There's a screening tonight for it in Vancouver which I was supposed to go to, only there's a hockey game that's cockblocked my schedule. And I did want to see it. And I DO really, really want it to be good.
The reviews so far though...
Still, reviews don't matter to the studio. It's the money that matters to the studio. And it's not like movies have to be well reviewed to do well at the box office.
Enough with the work talk...
Not when there was a cosy little dinner for 3. Page Six reports that last night Ryan was out with Blake and Leo which... I mean... that's f-cking amazing.
Does Leo know that Blake very much enjoyed her time with Ryan when they were filming Lantern together? She took him to a cooking class, did I ever tell you that? Fried green tomatoes or something. I'm told nothing ever went down, but I'm also told Blake wouldn't have minded if it did either. If you want to believe the other side of that version of events, be my guest.
In the end, she landed another prize. And, you know, we've been talking about her Game a lot lately. About this Game of hers that has suddenly emerged. You'd have to have some, right?, if you're holding down Leo D the way she's been holding that down?
And now this?
A 3 person dinner with her sandwiched in the middle playing one off the other and drawing Leo in even closer? Not to mention, all three are stars of Warner Bros so the studios getting all kinds of friendly press?
Remember when she was boring? Remember when Leo was boring? And now they're my, our, favourite subject? They made each other NOT boring. This, see?, is Good for Gossip.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Four Montana legislators meet with four Freemen in "Justus Township," currently besieged by FBI agents (see March 25, 1996), to discuss ending the standoff. The four are Democrats Joe Quilici and John Johnson, and Republicans Karl Ohs and Dick Knox. The eight meet in a mobile home near the main ranch house for several meetings over two days. The negotiations produce no tangible results. Two days later, Quilici characterizes the situation as "very, very volatile," and says, "Right now, I can't be optimistic." The Freemen continue to insist on their own government and their own grand jury. Garfield County prosecutor Nick Murnion, who has dealt extensively with the Freemen (see 1993-1994 and November 1995), advocates a firmer approach, saying, "The only way negotiating works is if you apply pressure from a position of strength, and they are not doing that." Instead, the FBI allows Ohs to promise the Freemen a "mechanism whereby their story could be heard." Jim Pate, a Soldier of Fortune magazine reporter who has managed to visit the Freemen in their compound during the siege, reports that negotiations have failed, that the Freemen are unwilling to meet with any federal government officials, and that they are content to wait for a long time.

Huntley Meadows Park
Today one can stand, in near perfect solitude, in the forests, meadows and wetlands of Huntley Meadows Park and imagine the land as it must have been in the seventeenth century. But the era that saw the arrival of European settlers on the shores of the new world is a late chapter in the history of the area.
The Birth of a Wetland
Huntley Meadows sits in an old ox bow (point bar) of the ancestral Potomac River. When the river down cut into a channel to the east, it left the ox bow high and "dry." Because it is in the Atlantic Coastal Plain, the ox bow is underlain by sand, clay and gravel from the Miocene Epoch (23.8-5.3 million years ago). Core samples taken from the area have yielded cypress wood more than 100,000 years old. The underlying clay deposits and a relatively flat topography that retards runoff are what make the park a wetland.
From the First People to European Contact
The first people to inhabit the region, the Paleoamericans (11000-9500 B.C.), were nomadic hunters, including big game, and gatherers. During the Archaic Period (9500-1000 B.C.), the people became more sedentary and territorial as riverine and estuarine environments developed. They established base camps along the rivers, to harvest fish and oysters, and seasonal hunting camps in the interior. The settlements of the Woodland people (1000 B.C. to A.D. 1600) were more permanent, sometimes even fortified. These people were agriculturists as well as collectors and were pottery makers.
Judging from the type of pottery they made, called Potomac Creek (see Map), Fairfax County archaeologists believe that the Dogue Indians migrated into the Middle Potomac Valley from the Maryland Piedmont around A.D. 1300. For some 400 years, they lived in Northern Virginia, mainly in today's Fairfax and Prince William Counties.
From 1606 to 1657
In 1606, Captain John Smith became actively involved in the Virginia Company of London, which King James I chartered to establish a settlement in Virginia. In December, 108 English gentlemen set sail from London. On May 13, 1607, they landed on an island in the James River and founded Jamestown. In July of 1608, Smith set out on the first of two voyages of discovery up the Chesapeake Bay and its tributary rivers. His resulting map and writings are rich sources of information and are still studied today.
When Smith encountered the Dogue on his trip up the Potomac River, they were a tribe of perhaps 280 people, assuming six dependents for each of the forty men Smith counted. They were independent of any other group, including the Powhatan Chiefdom. With respect to their language, Blair Rudes, Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of North Carolina, says, "The Doeg [sic] are a truly interesting and mysterious group. … It is possible that [they] belong to one or another of the distinctive (i.e. non-Algonquian, non-Iroquoian, non-Siouan) ethnic/linguistic groups in the interior of Virginia and the Carolinas whose language was never documented by Europeans prior to their assimilation into other groups."
Their main town, which Smith called Tauxenent (see Artifacts) and the Indians called May-Umps, was on May-Umps Island, today's Mason Neck, near the mouth of the Occoquan River. Smith also noted on his map two hamlets on the Potomac that are attributable to the Dogue. They were probably seasonal fishing sites.
Another historic person that visited the Dogue was Wahunsunacock, the first Chief Powhatan. In early 1617, he relinquished control of his empire to his brother and went to "ye K[ing]. of May-umps." By May 1618, he had died. His remains may have stayed with the Dogue until removed in 1621 for ritual burial.
The adventurer Henry Fleete spent five years in captivity with the Nacotchtank Indians (Anacostans). After he regained his freedom, he became a trader. In August 1632, he "sailed down [the Potomac River] to Pascattowie, and so to a town on this side of it called Moyumpse. Here came three cannibals of Usserahak, Tohoga, and Mosticum; ..." Moyumpse was a Dogue town on the Maryland side of the Potomac opposite Moy-Umps (see Map).
By the 1650s, the Dogue had abandoned many of their fields and villages because of disease or some other reason. By 1675, some of the Dogue, along with some Susquehannock Indians, were roaming the countryside terrorizing the settlers (see Indian War). By the turn of the century, they had virtually disappeared. If any Dogue remained, they were probably absorbed into other tribes.
Meanwhile, John Rolfe's success in developing a market for tobacco and the colonists' inability to manage the land resulted in a gradual expansion northward as the soil on older farms became depleted and farmers looked for new land. Robert Turney was the first to patent (obtain a government grant of) land north of the Occoquan River. In 1651, he claimed 2,109 acres on Mason Neck on which stood a Dogue field of corn. In 1653, Thomas Speake claimed 1,000 acres on the Pohick Bay side of Mason Neck, and others followed.
In 1691, George Mason II (1660-1716), son of the George Mason (1628-1686) who emigrated from England, patented land on Mason Neck. By 1692, he had moved up from the Aquia Creek area and was living at Pohick on the Speake tract, and by 1704, he had acquired 8,000 acres in Stafford County, his "home seat of Doeg's Island being part thereof." (The Virginia Assembly created Fairfax County in 1742.)
From 1657 to the Modern Era
George Mason IV took up residence on Mason Neck between 1746 and 1750 and moved into Gunston Hall in 1758. In 1757, he increased his farmland holdings by obtaining a Northern Neck grant of 1,606 acres a few miles north of Mason Neck. Most of this land is now Huntley Meadows Park. Mason bequeathed the property to his son Thomson, who around 1817 divided it into two farms which he gave to two of his sons: Dogue Run Farm to Richard Chichester (1783-1869) and Hunting Creek Farm to Thomson Francis (1828-1897).
Richard, a physician, and his family began living on his farm in the house he built, Okeley Manor, sometime before 1834. After serving during the Civil War with the Confederate States Army in Richmond, he returned home at age seventy-two to find the house, used during the war as a hospital, burned to the ground to prevent the spread of smallpox and a negro and an Irishman in possession of the property. By 1880, his son, Beverley, had recovered the land and was living in a house he built on the hill.
Thomson Francis (see Biography) built the house known today as Historic Huntley Mansion in 1825. In early 1859, the eve of civil war, Thomson's widow, Betsey, tried to sell the house and farm (see Advertisement). Finding no buyer, she transferred ownership on November 7 to her two sons, John Francis ("Frank" 1829-1897) and Arthur Pendleton ("Pen" 1835-1893). On December 7, they obtained a $13,000 loan, due for repayment on January 1, 1862, from Dr. Benjamin King.
Frank rented the farm to George W. Johnson, a Union sympathizer, for two years beginning August 1, 1860, after which time, he told Johnson, they would sell the property and give Johnson $1,000 "for putting things in order." Johnson told the Southern Claims Commission that "A short time before the war commenced [Frank] Mason and his mother went South and left all the old servants and children and I had to take care of them. … I never had a settlement with any of the Mason heirs." (See Civil War.)
From December 1861 to February 1862, the 3rd Michigan Infantry camped at Huntley, and the quartermaster and his wife lived in the house. The Masons defaulted on the loan, and Dr. King purchased Huntley at auction on June 12, 1862. Johnson continued to live on and work the farm until February 1863. On November 21, 1868, King sold Huntley to Albert Harrison and Nathan Pierson of New Jersey. Richard's descendants sold Okeley in 1916, ending Mason ownership of any of the original parcel.
In 1871, Harrison and Pierson subdivided Huntley. Harrison took the house and outbuildings; Pierson took the rest. Thus began the fragmentation of the original tract into many parcels.
From the Early Twentieth Century to the Present
Most of the land was used for wheat or dairy farming until 1929, when entrepreneur Henry Woodhouse virtually reassembled the original Mason property with the intention of building an airfield. But his plans never materialized, and he lost the land by default. The Washington Air Terminal Corporation leased the land to dairy farmers until 1941, when the federal government purchased it for $60,000.
From 1943 to 1953, the Bureau of Public Roads used it to test road surfaces. Parts of an oval test track and three small buildings now used by Park maintenance personnel are all that remain of this project. During the 1950s, the U.S. Army operated an Air Defense Artillery unit on the site manned by four officers and 30 enlisted men. Remnants of this installation can be found at the head of the Hike-Bike Trail. In 1958, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory established two antenna fields, the larger on what is now the central wetland, and built the Hike-Bike Trail to provide access. This project was phased out in 1971.
In 1975, the Interior Department, under its "Land to Parks" program initiated during the Ford administration, sold 1,261 acres of surplus land to Fairfax County for $1. The land was to be used "… exclusively for public park or public recreation purposes in perpetuity." Beavers built a dam on Barnyard Run in 1978, thereby flooding the central meadow, and in 1980-81, the first boardwalk was constructed. The original Visitor Center opened in 1983; the addition was completed in 1990.
In 1989, the Park Authority purchased Historic Huntley Mansion. In 1992, 164 acres added to the southwest corner of the Park brought it to its present size of 1,425 acres. And in 1994, a new boardwalk replaced the old one.
After a fifteen year initiative by a group of dedicated Park volunteers, the National Park Service in 1990 denied Fairfax County a permit to construct a four-lane road through the Park. Thanks to these volunteers, the tranquility of the Park remains undisturbed.

Fur Begone
Most pet owners spend a lot of time vacuuming up pet hair, and to be sure, a good vacuum is a key weapon in the fight against hair-covered floors and furniture. But did you know that rubber is the natural enemy of pet hair? Yup, it sure is! You can use the same Love Glove you use to de-fur your pets on upholstery and carpeting, or you can just go over hairy areas with a plain old rubber dishwashing glove. You'll be amazed at how well it works! —Jolie Kerr

Remove Pet Accidents from Carpets
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
The unfortunate truth for pet owners is that dog and cat "accidents" aren't always accidental—if Fido and Kitty are marking their territory, woe to the antique Persian rug that stands in their path. Here's how to save your rug, and your relationship with your fluffy friend:
• Use a white towel to blot the damp area as soon as possible.
• Apply a solution of one-quarter teaspoon of dishwashing liquid and one cup of warm water with a white towel. Avoid overwetting. Absorb moisture with paper towels, rinse with warm water, and repeat as long as there is a transfer to the towels.
• Next, apply a solution of one cup white vinegar and two cups water with a white towel and blot dry. Stand on the towel to promote absorbance.
• Secure a half-inch layer of paper towels on the area with a heavy object. When thoroughly wetted, replace. Continue to replace until towels no longer absorb moisture.
• Try using an all-natural enzyme-based cleaning product as an alternative method. The enzymes actually digest the stain- and odor-causing proteins in the pet urine.
• Do not use ammonia or other cleaning chemicals with strong odors on the stained spot, as they do not effectively cover the odor and may encourage your pet to reinforce its urine scent mark.
• To discourage a pet from resoiling a previously soiled area, lay a sheet of foil on the spot for a week or two. It will be unappealing for your pet.

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Desmopressin nasal solution belongs to 2 classes of medications: antidiuretics and antihemorrhagics. It can be used to treat central diabetes insipidus, a condition where the kidneys are unable to conserve water due to a lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This condition causes frequent urination and thirst. It is also used to treat temporary increased thirst and urination that can occur after a head injury or certain types of brain surgery. For these uses, desmopressin nasal solution works by helping to reduce the amount of urine produced by the kidneys.
Desmopressin nasal solution may also be used to prevent bleeding for people with mild hemophilia A and mild von Willebrand's disease type I. Desmopressin nasal solution works by increasing certain components involved in blood clotting.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are being given this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop using this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to use this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
Each precompression metered dose spray pump contains desmopressin acetate 0.1 mg/mL in a buffered, isotonic, aqueous solution. Each depression delivers desmopressin acetate 10 µg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: benzalkonium chloride as a preservative, citric acid, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate dibasic, and purified water.
How should I use this medication?
For diabetes insipidus: The usual recommended dose for adults is 10 µg to 40 µg daily. The usual recommended dose for children 3 months to 12 years of age is 5 µg to 30 µg daily. The dose may be given as a single dose or divided into 2 or 3 doses. The lowest effective dosage should be used. Do not drink any fluids for at least 1 hour before taking desmopressin and for 8 hours after using desmopressin.
For preventing bleeding: The usual recommended dose is one 150 µg spray in each nostril, or one 150 µg spray in one nostril for people who weigh less than 50 kg (110 lbs). If it is being used to prevent bleeding related to surgery, it is given 2 hours before surgery.
Follow the instructions in the package insert on how to use medication. This medication should not be sniffed or inhaled; it works by being absorbed through the nose. To ensure the best absorption of the medication, place a finger on the outside of the nostril you just sprayed to close it for 10 seconds. During this time, breathe through the unsprayed nostril or through your mouth. If you are unsure of how to administer the medication, talk to your pharmacist.
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, administer it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not administer a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
This medication comes in 2 forms: the spray and the rhinyle solution. Store the spray in an upright position at room temperature, protect it from light, and kept it out of the reach of children. Store the rhinyle solution in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C and keep it out of the reach of children.
This medication is available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms listed here. The forms available for the specific brand you have searched are listed under "What form(s) does this medication come in?"

These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Effectiveness: Desmopressin is not effective in controlling excessive urination caused by kidney disease, psychiatric conditions, low blood potassium, or high blood calcium.

Stop taking this medication and get medical attention if you have symptoms of low sodium in the blood such as headache, nausea, or vomiting.
People who are dehydrated should wait until their water balance has been adequately restored before taking desmopressin.
Medical conditions: People with cystic fibrosis, heart failure, bleeding disorders, liver problems, or kidney problems should discuss with their doctor how this medication may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Nasal problems: People who have nasal conditions such as inflammation of the nose, scarring, or swelling may not completely absorbed the medication. In these circumstances, the desmopressin nasal solution should not be used. Talk to your doctor about alternatives you can use.
Tolerance: There are reports of changes in response to the medication over time, usually when the medication has been used for longer than 6 months.
