A human rights project established at the University of Texas Libraries has announced a collaborative effort with an international organization that focuses on video documentation of human rights violations.
The Libraries' Human Rights Documentation Initiative (HRDI) will expand its collection with source materials provided by human rights organization WITNESS to guarantee long-term preservation of and expanded access to raw footage and video productions created by the organization and its partners.
Now marking its 20th anniversary, WITNESS shows its commitment to supporting ongoing human rights change by seeking strategic partnerships with diverse stakeholders who can help meet the growing needs of human rights activists using video to expose injustice.
"WITNESS is thrilled to be working with the University of Texas Libraries," says Grace Lile, WITNESS' Director of Operations and Archives. "This partnership will help ensure the long-term preservation of unique human rights video from grassroots human rights defenders. Equally important, it will make this primary source material much more widely accessible for study, research and reflection."
WITNESS was co-founded in 1992 by musician and human rights advocate Peter Gabriel, Human Rights First, and the Reebok Human Rights Foundation for the purpose of empowering front line human rights advocates in the use of video to document human rights abuses across the globe. Since then, WITNESS has partnered with more than 300 human rights groups in over 80 countries, trained over 3,000 human rights defenders, developed widely-used training materials and tools, and supported the inclusion of video in more than 100 campaigns, increasing their visibility and impact.
The WITNESS Media Archive was founded in 2004 and is today the repository for over 5000 hours of video from over 80 countries. The archive has been a leader in developing practices and models for the archiving of video documentation in a human rights context, and in recognizing the importance of archives to the promotion and defense of human rights.
"The HRDI holds a deep respect for WITNESS' work around human rights video agency, advocacy and archiving, so it's truly an honor to play a pivotal role in the preservation of and access to the powerful human rights narratives that WITNESS and its partners have brought to the fore of public awareness over the past twenty years," says HRDI archivist T-Kay Sangwand. "The collections that we have received so far complement the HRDI's existing holdings, particularly on armed conflict and genocide in Central America and Africa."
The collaboration with WITNESS is the sixth such by the HRDI since its launch in 2008. Previous work includes the project's founding partnership with the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre in Rwanda to archive and provide access to documents of the 1994 genocide in that country, as well as a recently publicized project to undertake similar work for the Guatemalan National Police Archive, a cache of records including documentation of torture, disappearances and other human rights abuses from the period of authoritarian rule in that country. The HRDI also collaborates with the Texas After Violence Project, Free Burma Rangers and the Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen.
"As a large research library with a robust digital preservation infrastructure, the University of Texas Libraries is well equipped to ensure the long-term preservation of and access to WITNESS's rich material," continues Sangwand. "This not only helps fulfill the university's mission to provide the resources our faculty and students need for teaching and scholarship, but also enables the public, particularly the communities documented in the archive, to easily access the materials."
Examples of materials from the WITNESS archive:
- Raw footage from documentary "Operation Fine Girl: Rape Used as a Weapon of War in Sierra Leone."
- Raw footage from Jesus Tecú Osorio, activist/survivor of the 1982 Rabinal, Guatemala massacre, used in two documentaries, "A Right to Justice" and "A Massacre Remembered."
- Raw footage from Global Survival Network's documentary "Bought & Sold: An Investigative Documentary About the International Trade in Women."
- Raw footage from documentary produced by the Women's Caucus for Gender Justice, "If Hope Were Enough."
For further information, or to learn more about accessing the collections, please contact either T-Kay Sangwand from HRDI at firstname.lastname@example.com or Yvonne Ng from WITNESS at 718.783.2000,firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the Human Rights Documentation Archive
The University of Texas Libraries established the Human Rights Documentation Initiative (HRDI) at the University of Texas at Austin with a generous grant from the Bridgeway Foundation in 2008. Working with activists, scholars, and organizations to identify electronic and analog resources that are particularly vulnerable to loss, the HRDI aims to preserve the most fragile records of human rights struggles worldwide, promote the security and use of human rights archival materials and further human rights research and advocacy around the world. lib.utexas.edu/hrdi

Carefree Travel
We are an independent Travel Agent providing package holidays, flights, hotels, cruises and other similar travel products. We are looking for a complete redesign of our existing site
This ranges from families (bucket and spade holidays) to those going on a Mediterranean Cruise. While many bookings are last minute or short breaks many of our packages are more up-market but with value.
A sense of trustworthyness, knowledge, and financial security should be conveyed while remaining relaxed and fresh/bright.
A fully layered PSD needs to be provided so that we can create a full HTML/CSS based home page and inner page to describe all other pages. Aside from the logo, standard web fonts should be used where possible so that all headings and menus can be html text based.
The design should feel modern and up to date but also easy to use and professional.
The site should give the feel of a high quality travel company so a clean crisp look, easy to read text and clean look and feel. No flash or animations are to be used - we may add elements such as rotating images at a later stage but standard stock photography can be used to identify place holders for now.
On the inner page please provide something to show the layout of html elements such as headings 1 to at least 3, lists, and paragraphs etc
A number of pages will return a listing of search results so on the inner page please also include a short table-like listing.
There is currently a logo in place but this does not need to be used and so you are free to come up with whatever works as a logo/header image.
No colour scheme has been defined but there are typical colours associated with holidays (blue seas and sky, sun beaches)
The 2 pages we require are the home page and an inner page template.
Many of the elements of the existing site will still be used. There will be at least one form on the home page but we will be able to move these around or change sections ourselves.
The individual pages have not yet been decided on but the main navigation will need to allow for approximately 8 to 10 primary links.

After Toyota recalled nearly 3.4 million vehicles this week due to sudden acceleration issues, and also announced it would suspend sales and production of eight popular car models, there is growing confusion surrounding exactly which vehicles are affected.
ABCNews.com's Blotter Tip Line has been flooded with e-mails from readers saying Toyota dealers have told them that it's safe to drive or buy the Toyotas on the recall and "do not sell" lists -- as long as the cars have a Vehicle Identification number (VIN) that begins with a "J." The "J" means the cars were manufactured in Japan, not the U.S.
One Blotter reader said he bought a 2010 Toyota RAV4 last weekend before hearing about the latest recall. When he returned to the Illinois Toyota dealership where he purchased his car, he was told his vehicle isn't included in the recall or the "do not sell" list because it has a "J" VIN.
"Is there any way to confirm this?" the reader asked in an e-mail to the Blotter. "I just spent $30,000 on a vehicle I want to know is safe."
Toyota's public announcements of recalls and of suspended sales have not mentioned any exceptions based on VINs or on place of manufacture.
But Toyota says this Blotter reader's vehicle is not, in fact, affected by the latest recall. A spokesman for the motor company confirmed that four vehicle models – the RAV4, Corolla, Highlander and Camry – can continue being sold in the U.S. as long as they were made in Japan (and, consequently, have a "J" VIN).
The spokesman could not give ABC News a breakdown of how many vehicles on dealer lots in the U.S. fall under this category, but did say that it is a small percentage.
In addition, the spokesman said some of the U.S.-made Camrys can also still be sold to consumers -- as long as the accelerator pedal assembly in question was made in Japan.
There are two separate lines of Camrys made at Toyota's auto plant in Kentucky. One uses the gas pedal assembly manufactured by CTS, which is the pedal linked to the recall, and those cars are not being made or sold. The other line uses a Japanese-made pedal assembly from a company call Denso, and those cars can be sold.
Dealers have to do a visual inspection of these Camrys to determine what pedal assembly exists on the vehicles on their lots.
Runaway Toyota Owners Want Answers
All Matrix, Avalon, Tundra and Sequoia vehicles were made in the U.S., and none have the Japanese pedal assembly, so these models cannot be sold.
On Wednesday, Toyota told millions of owners of cars involved in its giant safety recall to keep driving the vehicles.
"Stop sales does not mean stop driving," said John Hanson of Toyota USA.
On Thursday, Toyota told ABC News that new accelerator pedals, manufactured by CTS, had passed tests for problems and were being shipped this week.
"We are looking to repair or replace as many of the accelerators in as short a time as possible," said Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons.
Lyons said some accelerator assemblies could be replaced in their entirety and in other cases existing accelerators could be repaired.
He said Toyota engineers determined that the accumulation of water in an interior part of the pedal assembly was causing excessive wear, "making the pedal slow to return to idle."
The company said owners should continue to drive their cars but be aware of a possible problem with the gas pedal.
"It happens only rarely," said John Hanson.
Safety experts say Toyota owners should practice shifting gears to neutral in case their cars experience a runaway condition.

But while Toyota is telling drivers their cars are safe, many Blotter readers say they're parking the vehicles until the problem is fixed.
"I have a 5-year-old son and a 3 year-old daughter," wrote Rick Masnyk of Rhode Island, who has a 2009 Camry. "I have no intention of putting them in this car whatsoever."
Drivers aren't the only ones affected. Toyota dealers are also taking a hit with the halt in sales.
Ernie Sims, executive vice president of sales at the Al Hendrickson Toyota dealership in Miami, FL, said Camrys and Corollas make up about 60 percent of business.
"You know when you start talking about {those models}, that's our bread and butter," Sims said.

Bobby Greene says U.S. cotton industry members are sick and tired of U.S. trade negotiators writing trade agreements that benefit everyone but the U.S. citizens they represent. Well, that's not exactly what the National Cotton Council chairman said, but that's what he meant.
Greene, a cotton producer and ginner from Courtland, Ala., was making a case for U.S. trade negotiators remembering who they work for in testimony at a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, Peace Corps and Narcotics on May 20.
To better understand where Greene was coming from, you have to remember that cotton industry members were left with a bitter taste in their mouths following the conclusion of the new textile agreement with Vietnam last month.
The agreement will allow Vietnam, which was only a minor player in the U.S. textile market two years ago, to ship $1.65 billion to $1.7 billion in textile and apparel products to the United States, access that American Textile Manufacturers Institute officials have called "the most generous ever granted."
In his testimony, Greene said that free trade agreements, especially those in the Western Hemisphere, "need to be carefully constructed to insure that farmers, workers and companies in the United States and Central America are the beneficiaries of the agreement, not entities in third party countries."
He didn't name names, but he noted that cotton consumption by U.S. textile mills has plummeted due to a flood of low cost cotton imports from Asia. The U.S. cotton industry believes increased trade in this hemisphere is one of the few options available to help combat that ever-rising tide of Asian apparel imports into the United States.
"The National Cotton Council supported NAFTA — and that agreement has been beneficial to our industry," he said. "Likewise, regional preferential trading arrangements with the Caribbean Basin countries and the Andean countries can be beneficial if properly implemented and administered. The cotton industry is following with great interest the negotiations for a Central America Free Trade Agreement and is working to gain a better understanding of the economic impact it can expect from a Free Trade Agreement of the Americas."
Greene stressed that any regional agreement must:
Contain a consistent, workable rule-of-origin for cotton fiber and textile and apparel products that is no less restrictive than NAFTA rules of origin for these products.
Include provisions that would establish effective rules to deal with intellectual property rights.
Disallow preferences for products made with components from non-participating countries.
Preserve important aspects of trade preferences already established with the Caribbean and Andean countries.
Greene also renewed a NCC request that a separate negotiating group on textiles be established within the FTAA, and he said more needs to be done to insure that competitive financing tools are available to U.S. exporters of yarn and fabric, and USDA's export promotion program must be adequately funded.
That doesn't sound like too much to ask of the folks doing the negotiating for our side.

Obesity Surgery
Obesity Surgery, or bariatric surgery, uses one of three methods to effect significant weight loss in obese patients. These methods are
- Food restriction
- Malabsorption
- A combination of food restriction and malabsorption
The surgical methods outlined above facilitate significant weight loss in patients for whom diet, exercise and medications have not worked despite the patients' best efforts.
A surgical option can be pursued by people with a high BMI (body mass index) of 40 or greater. It is also an option if a person has a lower BMI if other health-threatening conditions are present, and a doctor recommends surgery for the health of the patient. While age is not a barrier to the surgery, patients typically range from 18-65 years old. Whether surgery is a possible solution, and which procedure is employed, is best made with the private counsel of a trusted bariatric surgeon and patient. There are risks inherent in surgery as well as benefits, and both of these considerations must be weighed seriously before surgery.
Losing a great deal of weight can have physical benefits for patients. It may help lessen the risks of heart disease and improve blood pressure. Austin obesity surgery may result in the elimination of diabetes medications. Conditions relating to acid reflux may improve as well as those related to sleep apnea.
Overall, losing up to fifty percent of body weight can result in an increased energy level and significant relief from joint and back pain. Importantly, patients report that they experience an improvement in outlook and emotional well-being.
Surgery is not without risk. The American Society of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgeons report a mortality rate of less than .1% nationally for obesity surgery procedures. This risk should be weighed against the comorbid conditions that are life-threatening and closely associated with obesity including liver problems, heart disease, respiratory illnesses and diabetes.
During and post-surgical complications include bleeding, blood clots and infection. Other complications are hernias, diarrhea, constipation, anemia, gallstones and obstructions. Your surgeon will go over the possible complications with you during your pre-operative consultations. Make sure you ask your surgeon the chances of experiencing complications based on their previous surgeries. While not common, complications do occur and you will want to know how your surgical team addresses complications.
Your Experience
Weight loss after surgery can be quite significant amounting to 8 to 10 pounds per month or more. Your success after surgery will be determined by your adherence to a food plan prescribed by your doctor (both before and after surgery) which is designed to help facilitate weight loss, help the body heal, and imprint healthier eating habits that will serve you well the rest of your life. You will be encouraged to increase your physical activity as you are able towards pursuing activities that you might not have been able to participate in before surgery.

Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB
We have all been there; spent hours downloading all that music, transfering all those cute photos, or typing up many important documents. However, many people never think "what if something happens to my computer or hard drive?" Well, what then? You think all your data is safe, but is it? Say your hard drive fails, you get a very bad virus, or your operating system crashes and is un-recoverable. Now you lost all that important data, or did you? Not if you have a backup drive to have another copy of them, like the Seagate FreeAgent Pro External Hard Drive.
Seagate, based out of Scotts Valley, California, was founded in 1979 for producing disk drives and built the industry's first 5.25 inch hard drive in 1980. Since then, Seagate has passed many milestones while becoming one of the largest storage manufacturers in the world. Since acquiring Maxtor in May 2006, they have increased the ability to produce and remain a strong competitor. Many OEM items, including the original XBOX, were sold with Seagate drives installed in them.
Closer Look:
The drive comes packaged in a sturdy box with a handle on it, which comes in handy if you need to transport the drive and want to protect it. It was packaged securely so that the items would not rattle around.
One you get inside, you can get a better look at what is included. In the box is the hard drive unit, manual, power adapter, USB 2.0 cable, FireWire cable, USB/eSata cartridge, and Dual FireWire module The modules are interchangeable depending on which connection is desired to hook up the drive, which will be explained more in the review. The drive sent to us for this review was the 750GB version with USB2.0/eSata/FireWire connections. Also available are a 750GB with only USB2.0/eSata, a 500GB with USB2.0/eSata, and a 320GB with USB2.0/eSata.
Here we get a closer look at the modules. The module on the left houses the eSata port and the USB 2.0 port. Notice it is the Mini USB type. The module on the right is the Dual FireWire module. The module design is to allow for future expansion when new modules for any type of connection may come available. This gives it the flexibility to stay on the cutting edge of technology.
Now that we have everything out of the bag, let's move in and get a better look at the modules and the hard drive unit itself.

Greetings from L.A.: Artists and Publics, 1950–1980
Daily through February 5, 2012
Research Institute Exhibition Gallery, Getty Center
Beginning in the 1950s, Southern California saw the emergence of newly diverse audiences for art. While gallerists cultivated collectors, Beat artists Wallace Berman and George Herms distributed handcrafted works among friends. Others, including Chris Burden, exploited the mass media to circulate their work. Art schools became innovative forums for artists such as Judy Chicago and John Baldessari. Social and political movements that championed peace and feminism mobilized artists to take their messages to the streets. Drawn from the Getty Research Institute's archives of Los Angeles art, this exhibition features photographs, ephemera, correspondence, and artwork—many on view for the first time—that reveal how these artists disseminated their works to a broader public.

Pacific Standard Time: Crosscurrents in L.A. Painting and Sculpture, 1950–1970
Daily through February 5, 2012
Exhibitions Pavilion, Getty Center
Pacific Standard Time: Crosscurrents in L.A. Painting and Sculpture, 1950–1970
charts the abundant artistic innovation in postÐWorld War II Los Angeles. During this period, Los Angeles artists looked for new approaches, subjects, and techniques for art making, including experimenting with the materials and processes of the pioneering industries in the region and the local surf and car cultures. The exhibition leads viewers on a dynamic tour from the emergence of an indigenous strain of modernism evident in the hard-edge paintings, assemblage sculpture, and large-scale ceramics of the 1950s, to the subsequent development of iconic Pop images of the city in the 1960s, and the conceptual and material contributions of Light and Space art and process painting that fostered the advanced art of the 1970s. This Getty Center exhibition is part of the region-wide Pacific Standard Time initiative.

Lyonel Feininger: Photographs, 1928–1939
Daily through March 11, 2012
West Pavilion, Terrace Level, Getty Center
A highly regarded painter, printmaker, and draftsman, Lyonel Feininger (American, 1871–1956) was the first master appointed to the newly established Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany, in 1919. Like many other figures at the innovative art school, Feininger turned to photography as a tool for visual exploration. Beginning in 1928 and for the next decade, he used the camera to explore transparency, reflection, night imagery, and the effects of light and shadow. Organized by the Harvard Art Museum/Busch-Reisinger Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in cooperation with the J. Paul Getty Museum, this exhibition presents the first comprehensive overview of little-known photographs by one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. The presentation at the Getty is accompanied by a selection of Bauhaus photographs from the Museum's permanent collection. The exhibition, tour, and catalogue were funded in part through the generosity of the German Friends of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Dedalus Foundation, Inc., and the Emily Rauh Pulitzer and Joseph Pulitzer Jr. Fund for Modern and Contemporary Art, Harvard Art Museums.

Narrative Interventions in Photography
Daily through March 11, 2012
West Pavilion, Terrace Level, Getty Center
Featuring contemporary artists Eileen Cowin (American, born 1947), Carrie Mae Weems (American, born 1953), and Simryn Gill (Singaporean, born 1959), this exhibition explores the concept of storytelling through three distinct bodies of photographic works. Cowin's images present a philosophical questioning of narrative and what is fact or fiction; Weems's art attempts to rewrite a profound aspect of human history; while photographs by Gill reflect a more personal interaction with stories through deconstructed books. Although each artist has a different approach, all are concerned with photography and the notion of narrative: implied, real, or revised.

Images of the Artist
investigates some of the ways in which artists have represented themselves, their fellow artists, or their trade over the past five centuries. Raising compelling issues about identity and image-making, this rich theme is explored through a selection of over 40 objects—mostly drawings but also prints, photographs, paintings, and sculpture—from the permanent holdings of the J. Paul Getty Museum, complemented by loans from local collections. Works range from portraits and self-portraits to depictions of the artist's life and space as well as allegorical images.

In Focus: Los Angeles, 1945–1980
Daily through May 6, 2012
West Pavilion, Terrace Level, Getty Center
This exhibition presents approximately twenty-five photographs from the Museum's permanent collection made in Los Angeles between 1945 and 1980. Both iconic and relatively unknown works are featured by artists whose careers are defined by their association with the city, who may have lived in Los Angeles for a few brief but influential years, or whose visit inspired them to create memorable images. Works by Robert Cumming, Joe Deal, Judy Fiskin, Anthony Friedkin, Robert Heinecken, Anthony Hernandez, Man Ray, Edmund Teske, William Wegman, Garry Winogrand, Max Yavno and others are loosely grouped around the themes of experimentation, street photography, architectural depictions, and the film and entertainment industries.

Gothic Grandeur: Manuscript Illumination, 1200–1350
Daily through May 13, 2012
North Pavilion, Plaza Level, Getty Center
The word "Gothic" evokes visions of soaring spires, graceful flying buttresses, and sparkling stained glass. The term is also applied to the style of manuscript illumination that reigned in Europe from around 1200 to 1350. The Gothic illuminated manuscripts in this exhibition, drawn from the Getty Museum's collections, are characterized by whimsical marginal decorations, vivid narratives, and a naturalistic style of painting. The period also saw an explosion in the variety of illustrated books being produced, ranging from scholastic university treatises to entertaining romances. On February 27, the pages of the manuscripts will be turned to allow visitors to see additional treasures.

PHOENIX, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Shane Larkin came through with a career-high 18 points and hit two late free throws Friday to lift Dallas over Phoenix 110-107.
After letting a 17-point lead disappear in the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers Wednesday, the Mavericks held on against the Suns.
Dallas needed the best game of Larkin's rookie season to pull out the victory. Larkin's two free throws with 11 seconds left gave the Mavericks a five-point lead and Dallas survived a turnover by Vince Carter in the closing seconds.
Monta Ellis scored 24 points for the Mavericks and added six rebounds and seven assists. Dirk Nowitzki had 21 points and Shawn Marion had 16.
Goran Dragic was one of five Phoenix players to reach double figures, scoring 28 points.

The Sacramento Kings today recalled forward Willie Reed from the Kings D-League affiliate Reno Bighorns, according to Kings General Manager Pete D'Alessandro.
The Bighorns' season came to a close Sunday night with a 115-93 playoff loss to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Reed averaged 9.5 points (.643 FG%, 1-2 FT), 8.5 rebounds, 2.00 blocks and 25.0 minutes per game in two postseason contests for Reno.
Reed, a 6-10, 220-pound forward, averaged 13.6 points (.649 FG%, .800 FT%), 7.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists 2.4 blocks, and 25.0 minutes per game in five games off the bench for the Bighorns this season. He scored in double-figures in all five appearances and recorded two double-doubles.
Earlier this season, Reed played for the NBA D-League Springfield Armor and averaged 14.8 points (.590 FG%, .612 FT%), 10.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.6 blocks per game in 31.8 minutes per game in 44 games, of which he started 33.
Reed previously played with Sacramento during the 2012 preseason when he averaged 0.8 points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), 1.0 rebounds, and 2.8 minutes per game in four preseason contests before being waived. He went on to play in his first stint for the Springfield Armor, earning Honorable Mention All-Development League Team honors after averaging 14.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game before joining the Memphis Grizzlies for the remainder of the season.

Earth : Asia : South Asia : India : Plains (India) : Madhya Pradesh : Jabalpur-Sagar Division : Orchha
Orchha is a town in Madhya Pradesh near the banks of Betwa river. The medieval city of Orchha seems to have frozen in time, its palaces and temples still retaining their original grandeur. Orchha had the distinction of being the capital of one of the largest and most powerful kingdoms of Central India. The Bundela Rajput chieftain, Rudra Pratap, founded the city, located by the side of the beautiful Betwa River, in the 16th century. The word Orchha means 'hidden'. When the Tughlaqs, who were ruling Delhi in the 15th century, pushed the Bundelkhand rajas out of Garkhundar, they retreated to distant Orchha.
Get in
From Agra/Delhi/Gwalior: Take a train to Jhansi station, and then you have two options. The easier but more expensive option is you can hire a car or auto-rickshaw to Orchha which is 15KM away. By auto-rickshaw, it takes about 40 minutes; by car, 20 minutes. The listed price at the pre-paid taxi stand was 200 rupees, however, you'll have to negotiate the price with the driver that you take. A cheaper way is to pile into one of the auto-rickshaws outside the train station which serve as a bus shuttle-- see if it's going to the bus station, which should only cost 10 rupees this way. From the bus station there are other shuttle auto-rickshaws that head to Orchha for 20 rupees per person, though you might have to wait a few minutes till it leaves; they only go when full.
You can reach Orchha while returning to Jhansi from Khajuraho, as a detour. While coming to Jhansi from Khajuraho, when you reach on the outskirts of Jhansi city, take left on the Orchha Tigaila(triangle). That road will lead to Orchha. There is a small railway station at Orchha in which only very few trains stop. Jhansi - Khajuraho Passenger(229A) has stoppage at Orchha. Khajuraho - Jhansi passenger (230A) reaches Orchha by 4:45Pm. Orchha railway station is 5Kms away from Orchha town. Hire a rickshaw and pay Rs. 50 max to get to Orchha.
Get around
The village is small enough that you can walk just about anywhere.
Orchha is a tiny farming town dotted with historical sites. Of note:
A very small market starting from the main crossroads in front of the Ram Raja temple, coming towards the temple compound, is full of small shops selling souvenirs, handicrafts, beaded chains, gemstones, and other such items. If you are good at bargaining, you can enjoy the shopping here.
There are a number of small quaint street restaurants near the entrance to the palaces, serving inexpensive Indian, Asian and assorted "Western" cuisine.
Orchha has a booze shop in the prominent market place. Don't expect big brands here. If you stay at the pricier accommodations suggested here, you have an attached bar option. But otherwise there are no bars or private pubs.
Get out
You can get an auto rickshaw driver to take you to Jhansi for around Rs.120, or tell them you want to share the rickshaw (meaning you wait for it to be filled with 8-13 more people) and pay Rs.20 total.
The only train to Khajuraho leaves Orchh train station at 7:25 am every day. It's a local train and makes many stops. The trip takes around 5 1/2 hours and is generally not very crowded; you can safely buy a ticket a half-hour before the train arrives and be assured of getting a seat Reaching the Orchha train station costs between Rs.10-20 in a shared rickshaw which can be found near the bus station.
A round trip to Khajuraho by taxi can be arranged at any of the travel agencies for around Rs.2000.

NAMM 2010: Ibanez Adds New Model to Jet King Range
The Jet King JTK30 BSV takes all the retro styling of a vintage guitar and couples it with solid, modern hardware. Ibanez also developed original low-noise pickups for the Jet King that reproduce the old-school look and sound of soap bar pickups.
The HFS pickups look like a vintage single coil at first glance, but looks can be deceiving. Underneath, the HFS makes use of a separate coil to cancel any hum or noise generated by the single coil.

Did Rove Blow a Spook's Cover?
The White House won't say.
A minor flap has been brewing since syndicated columnist Robert Novak, citing "two senior administration officials," reported in July that Joseph C. Wilson IV was married to a Central Intelligence Agency specialist on "weapons of mass destruction" named Valerie Plame. Wilson is the former diplomat sent by the CIA last year to check out allegations that Iraq had purchased uranium from Niger. He caused the Bush administration no small embarrassment by stating, in a July 6 op-ed, that he'd reported "it was highly doubtful that any such transaction had ever taken place." Novak hasn't particularly supported the Iraq war, and his column essentially took Wilson's side. But the fact that Novak blew Plame's cover (in the course of relating that Wilson was sent at Plame's suggestion) gave TheNation's David Corn the opportunity to accuse the Bush administration of compromising national security, in violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982. Wilson wouldn't confirm that his wife works for the CIA, but he told Corn that if she did, then
Naming her this way would have compromised every operation, every relationship, every network with which she had been associated in her entire career. This is the stuff of Kim Philby and Aldrich Ames.
The question of whether to investigate who in the Bush administration blew Plame's cover surfaced Aug. 21 at a forum about intelligence failures on Iraq held by Rep. Jay Inslee, a fervently anti-war Democrat. Wilson, who was present, had this to say:
It's of keen interest to me to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs. And trust me, when I use that name, I measure my words.
This appeared to be an unsubtle hint that Wilson knew one of the leakers to be Rove. Taking the bait, someone asked White House press spokesman Scott McClellan about it today:
Q: On the Robert Novak-Joseph Wilson situation, Novak reported earlier this year quoting "anonymous government sources" telling him that Wilson's wife was a CIA operative. Now, this is apparently a federal offense, to burn the cover [of] a CIA operative. Wilson now believes that the person who did this was Karl Rove. He's quoted from a speech last month as saying, "At the end of the day, it's of keen interest to me to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs." Did Karl Rove tell that—
A: I haven't heard that. That's just totally ridiculous. But we've already addressed this issue. If I could find out who anonymous people were, I would. I just said, it's totally ridiculous.
Q: But did Karl Rove do it?
A: I said, it's totally ridiculous.
Now, on one level, Chatterbox feels mildly sympathetic toward McClellan. White House etiquette prevented him from saying, "How the hell should I know? If Rove blew the cover of a CIA agent, do you suppose he'd be stupid enough to tell me about it?" And McClellan deserves points for not taking a leaf from his predecessor Ari Fleischer's playbook, which says that you should always deny damaging stuff well before you know whether it's true.
But on another level, it's pretty unsettling that McClellan refuses to answer the question at all. Rove is, after all, the president's principal political adviser, a man so influential that a recent book about him was titled Bush's Brain. McClellan could have said something like, "I have a very hard time imagining that to be true, but if you like I'll ask him." But McClellan didn't say that. Maybe he finds all speculation about wacky national-security skullduggery repellant in light of his father's embarrassing new book alleging that Lyndon Johnson murdered John F. Kennedy. Or maybe—just maybe—McClellan wonders himself whether Rove got a little overzealous.
Wilson, for his part, denied today that he ever accused Rove. He told Chatterbox "Karl Rove" was simply a handy metonym for whatever two "senior administration officials" fingered Plame (correctly or falsely, Wilson still won't say). But Wilson's "I measure my words" comment at the Inslee forum suggests to Chatterbox that Wilson is now being coy about what he knows, or at least suspects, regarding Rove. Maybe it's time for somebody to ask Rove himself whether he risked 10 years in jail in order to suggest that Wilson got his Niger assignment based on nepotism. And, perhaps, deliberately to punish Wilson by destroying his wife's career at the CIA. Rove is ruthless enough to have done so. The only real question is whether Bush's Brain is stupid enough.

Kotaku writes " Maybe the series' unique structure—seriously, what other games follow this sort of rigid school-dungeon-school-dungeon routine?—makes it easier to forget about what we'd consider flaws in many other games. Maybe these sort of choices work only for games like Persona. Or maybe we're just too in love with Mitsuru to care?"
"Assassin's Creed? Halo? Screw'em, I'm Playing Persona"
Best title I've read all day :)
Don't screw Halo and Assassin's Creed. -_- Those games are amazing... Though honestly, I cannot wait for Persona 4 Golden. I may already own the PS2 version and have beaten it twice, but I'm looking forward to going through it again. The story/characters/locations/mus ic, everything about the game is so well done. I'm really excited about all the new dialog and scenes as well.
Yep. This is exactly what I'm saying. Can't wait for Persona 4 Golden. Though Ragnarok Odyssey is keeping me quite happy for the time being. :)
My God these retarded Kotaku articles are excrutiatingly painful to look at, let alone read. How the hell they keep writing this crap after all these years? You'd think they go bankrupt or something.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - May 28, 2013 --A man who wears thong underwear and a cape while riding his scooter through Wisconsin's capital city may be a strange sight. But police say he isn't breaking any laws.
Earlier this month, staff at John F. Kennedy Elementary School in Madison called authorities after the man rode by in his unmentionables while students were walking to a bus.
Police spokesman Joel DeSpain tells a local newspaper that a sergeant had a chat with the person police call Thong Cape Scooter Man. He admitted he used poor judgment in going past the school but said he did it unintentionally.
The city attorney told police the man broke no laws.
So it seems Thong Cape Scooter Man is free to ride on.

Why Blood Tests Win for Disease Prevention
By Deborah Mayfield, Blood Lab ManagerAs a lab professional, I still marvel at the information gleaned from several drops of blood. For most people, blood tests point them towards a new path such as gaining control over their health; for others, blood testing saves their lives.
Whatever the case, blood testing is, hands down, the best disease prevention tool that exists. Simply put, it's the easiest way to assess your risk factors and check your overall health status.
If you haven't had your blood tested this year, you should seriously reconsider. And if you think it's outside of your reach, we'll explain below how just about anyone can order the blood tests of their choice.
Why Should You Get Blood Tests?Blood tests give a "snapshot" of what's going on inside of your body. They can help pinpoint the cause of unusual symptoms such as weight gain, headache, thinning hair, or swollen joints; or they can give you an overview of your health. Let's take a closer look at what they do, shall we?
Blood tests can:
- Provide information on organ function.
- Determine how well certain medications and treatments are working.
- Help to diagnose diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and anemia.
- Evaluate risk factors for heart disease and stroke.
- Monitor hormone levels for optimal health and aging.
- Can be used to learn about genetic mutations and genetic risk.
- Screen for food sensitivities and allergies.
- Pinpoint vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Don't Let Insurance Companies Decide For YouIf you're tired of insurance companies deciding which blood tests are right for you, then direct-to-consumer blood testing is your answer. It involves paying out of pocket for the blood tests of your choice, without the input of any third party. It's the easiest way to gain control over your own health.
You, along with your doctor, can make the decision about what to test and how often. The results belong to you and not the insurance company as part of your medical record.
The bottom line is that with direct-to-consumer blood tests, control over your own health is ultimately yours. How does that sound?
Where Can I Order Direct-to-Consumer Blood Tests?We actually offer direct-to-consumer blood testing right here at Life Extension. The process is simple, plus we offer as much help as you need along the way. For example, if you can't quite decide which test or panel is exactly right for you, you can call our advisor line for immediate help.
After you've taken one of our blood tests, your results are sent directly to you (or your doctor) at no extra charge. On top of that, we also offer a free line-by-line review of your results. Does that sound fair to you? Excellent.
The bottom line is that blood testing is the ultimate disease prevention tool, hands down. It's also the best way to gain control over your health.
Will you choose to remain in the dark? We seriously hope not!

DIY Idea For Wall Art
May 20, 2013 9:31:27 AM
I am not a very artsy and crafty person really. I would like to be but I haven't really developed that side of me yet. I have great admiration for those of you who are, who not only dream up an idea but act on your imaginative side. I was thumbing through some books this weekend and found an inspiring book. The book is called DIY ideas, Projects and Tips for Every Room by Better Homes and Gardens, ISBN: 9781118148389. You can find it at the library or an online reseller. I highly recommend this book and other books like it because it gets you thinking and seeing things in new and creative ways. I came upon an idea of creating flower wall art out of wood veneers. Yes this is a great idea in and of itself, but if you think about it, you can do this with other materials as well. This idea can be applied to other types of shapes and other types of material, even old photos. What a concept! Say you have a particular theme going or want to include your favorite signature shape. My favorite signature shape is a circular curly curl I see everywhere. You know the one, it resembles an Italian paper clip. I may post a picture of this shape at a later date, but for now it is an open circle that goes around two or three times. Say you make a template of your favorite shape, and say you make them in multiple sizes, a few small, a few medium, and one large. Now depending on your color in your room, implement some of the same colors into your pieces. Now say you group these together on a wall. The materials can be foam core, plywood, or maybe even metal sheeting. Perhaps introduce some metallic spray paint within your design. Copper, chrome, and touches of gold may look appealing together. You could use whichever shape you are into. Either you can draw the design yourself or have a friend help you or search for patterns of your shape online, you're bound to find something that appeals to you. If anyone likes this idea and uses it on a project, please let me know so I can marvel or share your creation. My email address here is firstname.lastname@example.com.

Your Hendrix Odyssey
Individually-designed projects
A. For an individually designed project, you must develop your own idea and plan
for its execution. Note that there is a checklist for this process inside the back
cover of the Odyssey Guide. Students working on a project as a group should submit
a single proposal. Be sure that all names and ID numbers are included on the proposal
B. Select a sponsor as early as possible in the process. Look for someone who
has expertise in the area you are interested in or who at least will share your
enthusiasm for the project. You may wish to speak to several people before selecting
the one with whom you wish to collaborate. Please note that for projects in the
AC and UR categories your sponsor must be a member of the Hendrix faculty. For all
other categories your sponsor may be a member either of the faculty or of the administrative
C. Consider the categories carefully and select the one that matches your project
the best. In your written proposal you must speak to the criteria of the category
you have selected. If the match is not good, your proposal may be sent back to you
for revision.
D. Work with your sponsor to write a coherent 2-4 page description of what you
propose to do and what you hope to learn from the project. Give your project a concise
but descriptive title. You are encouraged to bring a draft of the proposal to the
Odyssey Office for advice.
E. Once your project description is complete and approved by your sponsor, fill
out and submit a Proposal Form with the description attached. Please note that the
form must be signed by both you and your sponsor and that it must be submitted before
you begin the project or very shortly after you have begun. Project proposals that
do not require funding are accepted year-round. The Odyssey Office does not accept
proposals retroactively.
F. You will receive notification by e-mail when your project is approved for
G. Once you have completed your project and met all the requirements of the category
you have selected, submit a Project Completion Form to the Odyssey Office. The form
must be signed by both you and your sponsor, and you must attach a brief project
description (150 words or fewer) describing your experience and what you have learned.
(See guidelines for writing the project description in this guide.) If an hours
log is required, attach it to your completion form. Your credit will not be registered
as complete until you have turned in this paperwork.
Please note: the Odyssey Office does not support or condone missing classes
to complete an Odyssey project. The only exception to this policy is for travel
to a conference that occurs during the academic year, and under these circumstances,
it is the student's responsibility to make up all course work missed.

Critical Point
Critical Point: Incursion is a standalone game created by more than 30 volunteers with Epic Games' Unreal Development Kit.
Incursion is a semi-realistic, arcade-like first-person shooter combining tactical gameplay with arcade-style speed.Utilising a wide variety of modern weaponry and set in fantastically rendered locations, the Mercenaries and Special Forces meet at a critical point!
In a rush-based mode as seen in first-person shooters such as CoD4, Battlefield 3, Counter Strike and TO:AoT, teams are given level-specific objectives in round-based scenarios!
CP:I is aimed at a large player base, offering a huge platform for competitive clan and league play, allowing individuals to shine and capture their glory regardless of how many hours they have played. It accentuates skill vs luck, aiming vs spraying, etc.
We differ from the competition by having no unlockables, no RPG's, no claymores, no tanks, jets or other vehicles. No spotting of enemies, no gimmicks affecting reloading, no influence on aiming, and no movement hit penalties when shot!
Just PURE infantry combat action!!
If you love action-packed first person shooters with great community involvement, then Critical Point: Incursion is for you!
Our game is still in development, but we look forward to showing you more soon,

Dear Community,
Summer is here, although the weather seems late in joining the party! Anyhow, we hope you are all enjoying the break if you're lucky enough to have leave from work or break in your education. We over at Critical Point: Incursion have been quiet over the last 3 weeks, taking a much needed vacation, but it's safe to say that the majority of us are now back on track with progress moving along as expected.
Some recent activity over on facebook will enlighten you with some "unofficial" pictures, movie and progress updates that should keep your taste buds tingling in between our official front page news.

New WordPress Plugin Allows you to...
Set Up A Fully Functioning Membership Site In
Less Than 2 Minutes!
Perfect Integration With
AWeber & PayPal!
From: Jason Fladlien & Wilson Mattos
If you want to set up a membership site with AWeber and PayPal, this has to be the easiest, quickest plugin to use.
Here's how it works...
First create a new list in AWeber. Just name the list. That's it. Now take the list name and paste it into the WP Member Champ plugin
Result? As soon as someone signs up to your membership site they're automatically added your AWeber list. Take a few more seconds and configure the "auto unsubscribe" option. Now, ff they cancel their subscription, they're automatically removed from your membership list.
No more manual anything! It's all taken care of for you automatically with this WP Member Champ plugin.
Automatic Integration With PayPal!
Here's what you do. Log into your WP Member Champ plugin settings. Fill out the PayPal information inside the plugin. Hit submit. You're done!
Yes that's right -- you create your PayPal button without having to log into PayPal.
Now when someone signs up for your membership site... they're automatically directed to a registration page with their username and password and a login form. . Once they log in they can now access your members only content.
WP Member Champ Options...
Breakdown Of Settings...To read a full breakdown of each setting, click here.
Plus, you can specificy what you want your checkout button to look like... and also you can click ONE button on any page or post to now insert your paypal button... join your membership site. Awesome!
Password Protect Partial Content...
With one click of a button.
Say you want to create a post where non-members can access just some of the content... but not all of it. You simply highlight the text and click the protect button in the WordPress editor for any page or post you create and it's done!
Same With Login Forms
When you install the WP Member Champ plugin, it will automatically add the login widget to your sidebar. Of course you can move it or change it if you like. Also, there is a one button solution if you wish to add the login form to any page or post in your WordPress membership site.
JUST ADDED! Protect Your Downloads From Being Passed Around!
New feature allows you to protect all your content so members can't pass the URL around to nonmembers (like in forums, email, etc.).
If this happens, then nonmembers who try to download your stuff are instead redirect to your sales page. And it takes seconds to do this
Click Here To Watch A Video Demonstration
Wow, that was amazing how easy it was to protect content from being passed around or downloaded by nonmembers.
JUST ADDED! Free Listbuilder Feature
If you select free membership for your option, you can use this to build a list and create squeeze pages in seconds. Watch how easy it...
So if you want to use WP Member Champ on some of your sites strictly as a squeeze page generator and list building tool - now you can do it in seconds! -->
What WP Member Champ
Does NOT Do!
No Drip Content
Why not? I did a recent survey which revealed over 81% of those who need a membership site don't require a drip content feature.
If you don't need drip content ability, this plugin is perfect for you.
No Multiple Membership Levels
The survey also revealed 78% who need a membership site solution only need one level - PAID MEMBER. If you don't need multiple membership levels, this plugin is perfect for you.
"Only Works with PayPal... And AWeber integration is Optional...
If you use any other payment processor, this plugin won't work for you.
If you use a different Autoresponder than AWeber - then just skip the mail list integration - that part is optional.
My survey results showed 83% of Internet marketers would be perfectly happy with just PayPal and AWeber integration. Since it integrates ONLY with these two services, I've made it so you can set it up in under 2 minutes automatically!
If you use PayPal this WP Member Champ Plugin is Perfect for You. If you have AWeber then even better..."
If You Use AWeber And PayPal, This WP Member Champ Plugin Is Perfect For You!
Additional Benefits Of WP Member Champ
- You can use this for simple "one time payment" products for additoinal proection - just make your PayPal button a one time payment instead of a subscription (perfect for product download protection)
- Blend free content with password protected content to automatically convert free members into paid members! (you can select which posts and pages you want to protect... and even what PARTS of posts and pages that are protected... with ONE click of a button!)
- Works perfectly with any WordPress theme or plugins you have - making one click "buy now" buttons and automatic subscription to your list a snap!
- Works with any version of WordPress - including the new 3.1!
- Add a login widget to any post, page or sidebar in less than 3 seconds!
- Practically eliminates all customer support since each login widget has a "forgot password" link automatically generated underneath it... so users just click on that and get their password reset... without ever having to contact you!
- Unlimited Usage - use this for as many sites as you like with no additional fees or further investment required!
- And more!
Protection With A 100% Money Back Guarantee!
If you for some reason - or no reason at all - you're not 100% completely satisfied with this WP Member Champ plugin... contact our support desk at http://support.wpmemberchamp.com and I will return every penny of your purchase.
