Dossier Disclaimer
The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. 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. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
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
1. The rules and regulations controlling the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu are continually changing. Before embarking on your adventure to Peru it is very important that you familiarize yourself with the Inca Trail booking policies and guidelines as described in a document available on our website, at the following URL address:
2. Please advise at time of booking if you do not wish to hike the Inca Trail. Instead, you will have 2 nights in Cusco, travel by train for a night in Aguas Calientes, and join the hikers for the tour of Machu Picchu.
3. Portions of the Inca Trail will be closed for general maintenance during the month of February each year. Also, closures may occur at various times throughout the year due to inclement weather or other conditions beyond our control. During these periods, any tour affected will hike the Lares Trek.
4. Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may have previously been traveling together with G Adventures, prior to Day 1 of your tour. Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes.
5. Looking to add to your experience? Check out our Theme Packs! Specially designed for travellers with unique interests, theme packs are optional add-ons to your G adventures trip that make your adventure more you-centric. Theme Packs must be booked prior to departure, please see details in our optional activities field and ask you sales CEO.
6. In our continued effort to support the rights of the porters on the Inca Trail, we would like ensure that they never exceed the weight limit for their packs as set out by the Peruvian authorities. Porters are allowed to carry no more than 6kg of personal belongings per hiker (for all other Peru treks the limit is 8kg). That means that including your sleeping bag, toiletries, clothing, etc, you are allowed a total weight of 6kg for the hike which will be carried in a duffle bag provided by our local office. Any additional weight must then be carried by you in your day pack. To help achieve this goal we recommend that you carry travel sized toiletries, that you bring sport sandals that can be worn with socks (which are lighter than running/walking shoes) and that you limit electronics to those that you are willing to carry. Any additional baggage can be left in Cusco, but is advised that you bring anything of value (eg. money, passport, credit cards, camera, etc) with you on the trek.
If at the end of your trek you felt your trekking guide and support team did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline, we suggest each hiker contributes the following to a collective pool. We suggest a tipping amount of $40 per person for the Inca Trail and $35 per person for the Lares Trek.
It may be required to show a Yellow Fever certificate upon entering the country visited. Please check in with your local health expert for advice on Yellow Fever and other inoculations required for this area.
Group Leader Description
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders, a G Adventures representative, or an expedition team. The aim of the group leader 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 14.
Meals Included
20 breakfasts, 7 lunches, 8 dinners
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. On truck trips in Africa, aboard the expedition ship Explorer or our Galapagos yachts, while trekking in remote regions etc. food is included, plentiful and made of fresh local ingredients. The above information applies to G Adventures group trips. For Independent trips please check the itinerary for details of meals included. For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Public bus, boat, truck, motorized canoe, train, hiking.
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) (23 nts), overnight buses (4 nts), camping (3 nts), homestay (4 nt).
My Own Room Exceptions
Nights 2-4: Amazon homestay, Nights 11, 13 and 18: overnight buses, Nights 20-21: Colca Canyon, Night 22: overnight bus, Nights 25-27: Inca Trail or Nights 25-26: Lares Trek. Night 32: Lake Titicaca homestay.
About Accommodation
Please note that hot water shortages and power outages can be fairly common in Peru (even in upgraded hotels and private homes). We appreciate your patience and understanding that these occurrences are outside of our control.
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
The Quito International Airport is approximately one hour outside of the city centre where your joining hotel is located. There are a number of routes the driver may take depending on time of day and traffic, however, the route often seems long and indirect. The easiest and cheapest way to get there is by organizing a taxi at the desk within the airport (approximately $30 USD). Private transfers generally cost more as the cars will need to drive from Quito, to the airport, and return. Immediately after the customs and immigration area, as you head to the exits, you will find a taxi stand. We strongly recommend you pay for the car at set rates from the taxi stand and therefore won't need to worry about sorting out a ride outside the airport facilities, where the situation tends to get more chaotic with many drivers vying for few clients. The taxis outside the airport area do not belong to the Taxi Airport Union and may charge higher fares.
There is also a shuttle available with the bus company Aeroservicios. Aeroservicios charges 8 USD to board a bus which will take you from the new airport to the old airport. The buses are new, comfortable, and often include wifi. From the old airport, a taxi to get to your hotel would generally cost $5 USD depending on the distance and location.
If you have paid in advance for an arrival transfer, a G Adventures representative will be at the airport to meet you. 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 and 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
Remember that although near the Equator, the higher altitude on some parts of the trip make for cool evenings and you will need a warm sweater or pullover. It's best to layer clothes rather than bring a heavy parka so that you can take layers off. This is especially true on the Inca Trail, at which time warmer clothing is essential.
We recommend using a backpack for your convenience, or a medium-sized suitcase if you prefer. A daypack is also essential for carrying everyday items. Space is limited on transportation, so there is a limit of one main piece of luggage per person. You will be responsible for carrying your own luggage.

Laundry facilities are offered by some of our hotels for a charge. There will be times when you may want to or have to do your own laundry so we suggest you bring non-polluting/biodegradable soap.
Visas and Entry Requirements
All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity). Contact your local embassy, or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THE CORRECT TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION.
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
The currency in Bolivia is the Boliviano (BOB), in Peru the Nuevo Sol (PEN), and in Ecuador the US Dollar (USD).
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances. Visa cards are the most widely accepted cards. While ATMs are widely available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work in Latin America. Check with your bank.
You should be aware that to purchase products or services on a credit card a fee of 5%-10% usually applies.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money, a combination of US dollar cash and cards is best. Please bear in mind that cost of living in the southern cone countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile) is much higher than the rest of South America, and in the case of Argentina, more comparable with Europe. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
We do not recommend bringing travellers cheques as they are very difficult to change in country.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE TIP: Please be advised that slightly torn notes, notes that have been heavily marked or are faded may be difficult to exchange. It is best to bring notes in fairly good condition, in denominations lower than 100USD (or equivalent).
As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (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
It is customary in Latin America to tip service providers such as waiters, at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program and an expression of satisfaction with the persons 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. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $5-10 USD per day depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.
If at the end of your trek you felt your trekking guide and support team did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline, we suggest each hiker contributes the following to a collective pool.
Inca Trail:
Head guide: 10-15 USD
Assistant guide: 5-10 USD
Your trekking crew: 40 USD
Lares Trek:
Head guide: 10-15 USD
Assistant guide: 4-8 USD
Your trekking crew: 35 USD
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.
Optional Activities
Please see the itinerary for information on optional activities and estimated pricing.
Huayna Picchu: Although this hike may be promoted by others, we cannot verify that this hike meets G Adventures minimum safety standards. We do not include the Huayna Picchu hike in any of our itineraries, and our CEO's and support staff are prohibited from providing advice or assistance with booking this activity.
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 quite often 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. 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.
Please note your Adventure travels to high altitude. This is medically defined as anything over 8,000 feet (2,440 meters). Most people can travel to 8,000 feet with minimal effects. However, everyone reacts to altitude differently and altitude sickness can on set with some people irrespective of fitness and age. For details on how to best prepare and what to do in the unlikely event you are effected on your Adventure, please consult your physician.
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.
About Quito: Please take care when wandering about the city on your own, as pick pockets and purse-snatchers are common, particularly in the Old Town. We recommend taking an escorted tour around the city. If you are going to explore on your own, be safe and leave your passport, credit cards, traveller's cheques and cash you don't need in the hotel's safety deposit box. Most Quiteños are honest and genuinely helpful and friendly, but be safe and enjoy the city!
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
Care should be taken when wandering around on your own in central Lima as, some areas can be dangerous and pickpockets are daring.
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.
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.
After your travels, we want to hear from you! Your feedback information is so important to us that we'll give you 5% off the price of your next G Adventures trip if your feedback is completed on-line within 30 days of finishing your trip. Your tour evaluation will be e-mailed to you 24 hours after the conclusion of your trip. If you do not receive the tour evaluation link in the days after your tour has finished, please drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will send it on to you.

Minnesotans to Get Emergency Alerts on Cellphones
ST. PAUL -- Severe weather and other emergency alerts are coming soon to Minnesotans' smartphones and cellphones.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety says it will be ready to send imminent threat alerts by the end of this week. Severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service should be available in the next week or two.
The Wireless Emergency Alerts are specific to location. That means recipients will receive the alerts based on where they are, not where they live.
The message will include what action to take. The alerts will look like a text message on new phones; cellphones will vibrate and sound a tone.
The text messages are free and use a technology that will allow them to get through during high-volume times when a traditional text message might not.

Liberty Games > Pool Tables > British vs. American Tables
What is the difference between British and American Pool Tables?
A number of people looking for a pool table to have in there home tend to be unclear on the differences between a
British pool tables come in either 6ft or 7ft sizes, this refers to the overall length of the pool table, and their respective widths are 3ft (for 6ft tables) and 4ft (for 7ft tables). The playing surface is approximately 1ft less from each edge than the overall size of the table and is measured from the nose of one cushion to the nose of the opposing cushion. British pool tables use 2 inch pool balls, the most respected make being the Aramith pool balls. The pocket size of British pool tables should be directly related to the British 2" pool balls, the calculation is the ball size multiplied by 1.6 to find the opening diameter. The cushions for a British standard pool table requires the cushions to fall into the pockets no less than 3 inches from the centre pockets and no less than 2.5 inches into the end pockets. Although any cue can be used to play pool, most tables in the
An American pool table is much larger than a British pool table. A full size American pool table is 9ft in length and is played on by 2 ¾ inch pool balls in the 'spots and stripes' style. American tables have different cushion designs to British pool. Instead of having a flat surface for the ball to make contact with, American cushions tend to be made from a wedge shape of rubber culminating in a thin point of contact for the pool ball. American pool tables due to their size are usually built with a 3 piece slate. Each piece of slate is levelled and then joined by light cement before the cloth covers the play surface. In general an authentic American pool table will have 'bucket pockets' or in other words the balls will simply fall down into a collection cup instead of being returned through the table. In some cases it could be argued that the American pool tables have got the edge in terms of look and finish over the British tables, however British pool tables are catching up. Suppliers such as

Personal Summary
Generally I am interested in parent-child relationships such as attachment and child guidance
At present my research focuses on the assessment of child guidance techniques used by parents. We are developing two methodologies. One relies on coding parents' responses to open-ended questions about what the parent might do given a particular scenario requiring child guidance. The other also presents scenarios but requires that parents rate possible parent responses and justifications. We anticipate that these measures will be more valid than most other non-observational techniques that currently exist and that they may be used to assess risk for abuse or neglect.
Recent thesis and dissertations I have supervised include a study of the effectiveness of an attachment-based early intervention program (Circle of Security), an examination of aspects of parental style as a mediator of the effects of parental depression on child adjustment; the effects of the father-daughter relationship on risky behaviors of adolescents; the effects of brief psychoeducation on adolescents' depression and perception of parents.
My other research interests focus on children's understanding of mental processes and metaphor, development of an observational measure of attachment style in school-aged children, examining how young children cope with exposure to parental discord, and how this contributes to psychopathology, studying the efficacy of psychotherapy for children diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder. My applied interests include child and family psychotherapy, psychotherapy for attachment disorders, and parenting plan and parental competence evaluations. I am also interested evolutionary theory and nonhuman primates' understanding of mind, and have written occasionally on that topic.

For over ten years HASA has been providing JRRT fanfiction for all genres, characters, ratings & story lengths. We get hundreds of readers a day, making HASA a great place for readers and writers. Have you considered being a subscriber?
HASA is ad-free and fee-free, and we do not sell your contact information to marketers. Our server isn't free, however, so HASA depends on donations from members and readers, both one-time gifts and subscriptions. Our balance now is still negative, which means we need donations to cover most of the summer. The September hosting will be due within the next few days; it would be great if we could get some more donations to help with that.
If only a small percentage of our members and readers donated every year or got a monthly subscription we would be in better shape. If we had more subscribers it would be easier to keep ahead.
Our PayPal account has three ways to donate:
• Monthly subscriptions - set up a monthly recurring donation in amounts from $5 to $25 dollars.
• Yearly subscriptions - set up a recurring annual donation in amounts from $15 to $50 dollars.
• One-off donations of any amount.
If you're a little short on spare change at the moment, donations of time are always appreciated. There's an archive full of stories just waiting for comments, authors who would love an email complimenting them on their work, challenges that need entries, playlists that need to be created, research that needs doing and forums begging for discussions. If you are an author, please consider donating a new story.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - With the $1 million Florida Derby just days away on Saturday, Local 10 has learned about a major expansion plan at Gulfstream Park.
The grandiose changes include a massive sculpture being cast and constructed in China that will eventually perch atop a 6-story dome at Gulfstream Park.
When completed, "Pegasus" will be larger than the Statue of Liberty and will be the center of a theme park located on the north side of the property, just off Hallandale Beach Boulevard.
The planned theme park will cater to kids and families.
"Pegasus is a 120-foot tall statue," said Gulfstream President Tim Ritvo. "We believe the park will be the biggest draw south of Disney World."
Along with the theme park, Gulfstream Park is also planning to build two condominium towers on the property.
Work is expected to begin on April 5, the day after this year's racing season ends.
No timetable was given for completion of this expansion plan.

For a lot of people religion provides a starting point for learning moral values. Others don't really need it. I grew out of the restrictions that religion imposes fairly quickly, finding that I needed to move beyond it to to progress spiritually. I also don't believe that there is a judgemental God that's going to punish people who misbehave which was a problem for me with Christianity in particular. The bottom line is that we should do the best we can to love one another, that's something I can agree with most religions about.

I built that blank and it depends how you want to fish. I built mine to fish down and accoss, somewhat large flies and sink tips. I tried a few different skagit lines and found a Rio Skagit Short 375 grain line to work best for this rod. I use it with Rio MOW tips (the light ones--T-8). 400 grains was too heavy for this blank, IMO.
If you're going to use this rod in a nymphing capacity with strike indicators, my line recommendation above would not be the best choice.

I am not sure if I discussed this on here before, but my 6+ year old cat Sweetie is gone. I had placed her in the care of my mother and her roommate for a few days, and she got out. My mother's roommate had opened a window despite us warning him over and over not to if he wouldn't secure her first, and she escaped like we predicted. Soon after she got out, I visited my mom and he was complaining about how much she was yowling, so I suspect he most likely let her out on purpose. After all, my mom had already told him he could put Sweetie in her room if she became a nuisance or he needed to open a window. It definitely seems like something he would do, considering our past experiences with him. She escaped near the end of May, and I haven't even seen a hint of her since. I immediately put up posters at the local shelter and asked around the neighborhood to see if anyone had seen her. We've been checking the shelter every few days or weeks since she disappeared, and I've posted multiple ads on Craigslist without hearing anything about her. There was also a website specifically for lost pets in my region where I posted her, but I never got a reply. I would go out at night and look around the neighborhood, calling for her and looking under apartments. I tried a suggestion someone on CL suggested and set out a bed from our house outside, but it didn't work. I believe she's either traveled too far for us find her, she's passed away somewhere, or someone's taken her in. Even though she's deathly scared of strangers when they first meet, food would win her over eventually.
Since she was a strictly indoor cat and we had just recently begun to let her outside supervised, she hadn't been microchipped or been given a collar. I was setting aside some money to get her microchipped before she ran away, even though my family and I decided it was best not to allow her to keep being allowed outside. When we let her out, she became extremely nasty to us and the other cats, and she was always her normal self if she was left inside. During the day, she wouldn't want to go outside and became very frightened very quickly, but during the night she became a whole new cat. She would be nice until she had to come in, which is when she begin hissing and spitting when she saw the door and she would go running off to hide once she was set down. Later on in the night she would get into intense tussles with Tiger and Lucky.
This has just been really terrible for me because I've had her for over 6 years, and one person's insensitivity has caused me to lose her. She was the only cat who would sleep with me and she loved to be held like a baby. She could be moody at times, but she always wanted to be with me and loved attention. I guess having someone take her in is better than her being on the streets or dead, but I miss her terribly....Either way, I believe she is gone for good.
Here are some of my favorite photos, in memory of her.

I don't like screensavers or power monitors or blankers or any such thing, I have my monitors to stay always on, and when I want them off, I turn off the power to them. I have three monitors, all hooked up to one power bar. That has always worked fine, but recently, if I power down then power up my monitors, two of them go a bit nuts: they look fine at first, but any touch of the mouse sends the pointer up to the panel, where it remains stuck. The pointer can be moved left-right, but not up-down, and the video goes slowly fuzzy all over the screen. If I slide the pointer all the way to the right-most monitor, that monitor is fine. This is an xfce issue almost for sure, because it does not happen at console. If I cycle the power to my monitors while at console, then start xfce, all is fine, also, if I start xfce, then 'Ctrl+Alt+F2' to another terminal, then cycle the power, then return to xfce, all is fine. So it's only when xfce is 'active' that this happens. I'm not sure what I could have done to cause this, but it predates the upgrade to 4.10. Since then, I've been fiddling with settings but to no avail. A tricky problem for sure, any ideas? BTW, if I turn the power off using each monitor's power button there is no problem, so it seems to be some sort of issue between the hardware and xfce's video mode after cycling the power. I'd not worry about it except that it didn't happen previously.
I'd say it's generally better to use the monitor's power button, instead of powering all 3 at once through a bank. Besides a small power peak, I can imagine all 3 monitors are being detected at once and xfce tries to manage them all at the same time, which again might cause issues. Perhaps it's a change in the software managing/detecting displays. This might have something to do with Settings Manager->display Or maybe the Settings Daemon; to debug try in console:
$ XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon
Just some other wild guesses:
-try just 2 monitors and see if you can reproduce it (you might have to remove stored settings in the Settings Manager->display)
-try to mess some with the Settings Manager->display
-try a different videocard driver
-make sure it's not a hardware issue, ie: defect monitor
-is xfce4-power-manager maybe installed and somehow interfering?

One other bit of information that would be interesting to see is the results of the command: xrandr -q before and after power-cycling all 3 monitors when within Xfce. Perhaps the issue is at the X level.

Whatever it was, the problem disapeared when I moved to Debian. There's only one bug left with my xfce and that's the 'black button' issue: When xfce starts up, the buttons at the top-right of the title bar (and the title text) are always black, but *only* on the left-most monitor. When any window on that that monitor looses focus the bar itself changes color as it should, but the buttons remain black. All other parts of the screen display fine. Changing themes using either the 'Appearance' or 'Window Manager' widgets fixes the problem instantly. It doesn't matter which theme is loaded at first, or which theme is switched to, the fix is always effective, so it's not the theme itself but somehow, just on first start, xfce gets the buttons wrong on just the one monitor. This bug persisted when I moved to Debian from Mint. As to the other issue, so much changed here that it's now impossible to recreate it or say exactly when/where/why/how it got fixed.

my partners 9 year old has just asked us what the difference is between white and brown suger but the truth is, apart fron the colour im not sure. please help
Brown sugar and raw sugar are both brown beca us e they contain molasses. Molasses is one of the byproducts formed when sugar is refined from sugar cane juice (or sugar beet juice). Brown sugar is made by adding molasses to white sugar. Raw sugar, also called Turbinado, Demerarra or M us covado sugar, has not yet had the molasses completely removed from it. Brown and raw sugars have small amounts of minerals and slightly fewer calories per pound than white sugar.

Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain - Adventure With KevlarPosted in Product Reviews on February 14, 2014
With almost one-fifth of all replacement tire sales now being all-terrain tires, tire manufacturers are starting to put more time and research into this segment of the tire market. The result has been improved tire performance and more models of all-terrain tires to choose from.
Seeing the growing all-terrain market, Goodyear further specialized its Wrangler off-road tire line, adding the Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure as a mid-level all-terrain tire below the Wrangler Duratrac. Goodyear sees this tire as a choice for a contractor's work truck, the Xterra weekend warrior owner, and the SUV driver who lives in a snowy climate.
It is not a dedicated off-road tire, but the Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure can handle a fair amount of dirt, snow, and ice. It features a long-lasting tread compound and has a 60,000-mile-life limited warranty. On top of that, it's built with Durawall sidewall technology and features a layer of Kevlar in the tread plies, just like its more extreme big brother, the Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar.
Is the Adventure with Kevlar the right tire for your long-arm Jeep rock crawler? Probably not, but it will be the perfect replacement tire on your Super Duty, Tahoe, or 4Runner that you drive every day.

Mark your calendars!
There will be a pre-conference on Thursday, May 8, 2008 in addition to the regular conference on Friday, May 9, 2008.
This full-day workshop will feature Warren Graham, an expert in library security and safety.
From http://www.blackbeltlibrarians.com
Warren Graham is nationally renowned as an expert in day-to-day library security procedures. He has been a security professional for twenty-five years and he spent the last seventeen years as the Security and Safety Manager for the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, developing and overseeing their program. He retired in August of 2006 to establish Warren Graham Training and Consulting.
Warren has traveled across the United States helping libraries of all sizes acquire a sense of really controlling their work environment. Unlike other security consultants, Warren actually worked in a library, so he is well aware of the problems the front-line, professional librarian experiences on a daily basis.
Developing his techniques for handling difficult situations and patrons through the years of facing myriad security situations, Warren knows by his own experience what works and what simply does not. His "real world" approach and strategy, grounded in much trial and error, will quickly give your staff a sense of empowerment and put you well on your way to doing all you can to develop a practical, workable, security program.
Additional information will follow!

The Delaware Diamonds, the Precision Book Cart Drill Team, Pride of the First State, won the coveted Bronze Bookcart after competing in the American Library Association's World Bookcart Drill Team competition in Washington DC, Sunday, June 24, 2007. It was the team's debut public performance and first competition.
The Delaware Diamonds is a dozen library staff and volunteers statewide who march as a book cart drill team. Library book cart precision drill teams are groups of library staff members who push books in formation to music, much like synchronized swimming.
Drill team members, who are from each Delaware county include: Pat Bartoshesky (Highlands Elementary School), Beth Borene (Woodlawn Library), Leigh Ann DePope (Costumer, Seaford District Library), Bethany Geleskie (Choreographer, Kent County Library), Susan Gooden (Concord High School), Terri Jones (Hockessin Library), Patty Langley (Delaware Division of Libraries), Steve Newton (Delaware Division of Libraries), Anne Norman (Delaware Division of Libraries), Sherry Pitman (Delaware Technical Community College), Hilary Welliver (Captain, Kent County Public Library), Despina Wilson (Delaware Division of Libraries).
Each team had four minutes in which to perform. Contestants were judged on artistic impression, technical ability, best costumes, and best cart decorations. The audience was large, and the entries were entertaining. The Delaware Diamonds performed to "Sparkling Diamonds" from the Moulin Rouge movie soundtrack. The bronze bookcart will be shipped by Demco, the competition's sponsor, to the Delaware Division of Libraries in Dover, where it will be placed on display.

"New Ways to Reach Library Users" CRLD Fall Program DLA Bulletin Jan/Feb Page 4
on Monday, June 25, 2007 from 1:30-3:30pm at the ALA Annual Conference will feature four chief academic officers who participated in the research study.
Snelson highlighted a number of ways to better communicate the value of libraries that were not dependent on the type of library in which one works. The first step is to learn what is important to the administrator to whom the library reports. The next challenge is to translate library information and jargon into what the administrator values. As an example, she suggested reporting the percent of the student body using the library rather than merely providing an exit gate count. Librarians should ask how the library can help achieve the administrator's priorities. Librarians should be prepared to help administrators answer the question of why libraries are relevant when there is Google. Administrators are often in the position of representing libraries to a city council or board of trustees and need data that is easily understood, as well as anecdotal stories.
Preliminary findings from the ACRL research study indicate that administrators want: 1. libraries that are used; 2. library users who are satisfied; 3. librarians who are not shy about asking for resources and support; 4. high quality collections and services (even if that means cutting back in some areas); 5. effective working relationships between the library and other units within the organization; and 6. information such as benchmarking, comparative analysis, and cost / value data.
Pamela Snelson's presentation handout and powerpoint slides are available from the 2007 DLA Conference webpage.

Pamela Snelson, President, Association of College and Research Libraries and College Librarian, Franklin & Marshall College presented the morning keynote address at the May 8, 2007 DLA Annual Conference entitled "The Value of Libraries." She noted that librarians and professional library associations are increasingly aware of the need to advocate for library resources. However, Snelson emphasized that librarians must first take time to identify and articulate the value of libraries before embarking on an advocacy campaign. Her presentation highlighted the significant work and research that documents the positive impact of various types of libraries.
Many public libraries and public library systems have succeeded in demonstrating how libraries improve economic prospects and quality of life in their communities. Snelson noted that the new Seattle Public Library brought $16 million of new money to the city as a result of the new facility, along with increasing cultural activity, neighborhood revitalization and improving the profile of the city for tourism and industry. She suggested the 2007 Urban Libraries Council publication entitled Making Cities Stronger: Public Library Contributions to Local Economic Development as a resource to assist librarians better communicate the value of libraries to public officials.
The positive impact of school libraries on student achievement may be the most extensively documented. The Library Research Service (Denver) website references numerous studies accounting for the value of good library media centers.
Unfortunately, there have been fewer efforts to document the value of academic libraries. To address this lack of information, Snelson has initiated an ACRL research study to assess what chief academic officers know about and expect from libraries. The ACRL President's Program

The aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise and the starship Enterprise: As of tomorrow, when the U.S. Navy will officially retire the real-life vessel, William Shatner's career will have outlasted them both.
The actor, Priceline pitchman, sometime talk-show host and spoken-word performance artist will turn 82 next March, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Shatner has been touring the country with his autobiographical one-man show. And this month, he launched a very 21st century business venture—if you'd like to be able to program your phone to deliver text in his unique…pause-laden…delivery, there's an app for that.
But Shatner's career wouldn't have had such staying power, of course, if he hadn't landed the iconic role of Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek TV series—putting him at the helm of the fictional U.S.S. Enterprise. Kirk commanded the original starship in the series and in three movies before that ship retired the hard way in 1984's Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, in which Kirk programmed the ship to self-destruct to save it from capture by Klingons. (Check out the trailer—and the fabulous mid-1980s leather costumes—on YouTube.) There have been at least five other Enterprises on various Star Trek spin-offs, but let's get real here: You never forget your first starship.
As for the real-life Enterprise, it's a mere sapling to Shatner's ancient oak: It set sail on its maiden voyage in 1962, just in time to see duty in a blockade of Fidel Castro's regime during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Its most memorable distinction: It was the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. (The U.S. Navy now has 10 others, and France has one, too.)
Shatner announced Thursday that he'd be attending the Enterprise retirement ceremony in Norfolk, Va.—officially called an "inactivation." But his publicist announced this morning that Shatner had to rework his schedule and had canceled his appearance. Evidently The Negotiator is always in demand.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The San Jose State women's basketball team broke a 14-year losing streak to Santa Clara with a 75-62 victory this afternoon at the Broncos' Leavey Center. Lamisha Augustine led the Spartans with 24 points and 12 rebounds as her team wins their fifth straight and improve to 6-1 on the season. Santa Clara falls to 3-7 overall, 0-6 at home.
Today's game had additional meaning, as the two schools participate in a Rivalry Series, in which points are earned for head-to-head competition in 13 intercollegiate sports. Santa Clara won last year's competition by a 20-10 margin, but with the Spartans' three earned points from today's victory, this year's current standings only favor the Broncos now by a 13-8 margin.
The Spartans last defeated Santa Clara on Dec. 28, 1989, 75-55 at the Event Center. The Broncos then won 12 straight over the past 14 years, with that streak ending today.
A win didn't look likely for San Jose State early on, as the visitors opened the game 1-8 from the field. Santa Clara opened a 12-4 lead in part by two three-pointers from freshman guard Ashley Graham, who finished with a team-high17 points. A steal by Chenne Tuimoloau sparked a Spartan fast break that saw Erica McGlaston's lay-up knot the game at 14-14 midway through the first period. San Jose State then went on a 10-0 run and never looked back. Augustine had 14 by the half, while Tuimoloau notched 12 to lead the Spartans to a 40-25 advantage at intermission.
Santa Clara responded after the break, going on an 8-0 run and holding the Spartans without a field goal for the first five minutes of the second half. Freshman forward Jenni Gottschalk, who finished with nine points and nine rebounds, converted a three-point play and hit two free throws on the Broncos' next possession to close the game to five, 51-46 with 12:27 remaining in the game. It would be as close as the Broncos would get, as SJSU made its free throws done the stretch and held on for the victory.
Cricket Williams added a game-high nine assists for the Spartans, while the Broncos also saw double-digit scoring from senior forward Jennie Rondel and freshman forward Ashley Gonnerman, who posted 12 and 10 points, respectively.
After the holiday break, Santa Clara will host Alabama on Sunday, Dec. 29 at 2 p.m. to close a four-game homestand.
