iPad Live #39: Gesturifical!
A great article indeed.
Hi All,
One thing you missed with iOS 4.2 on the iPad - a bigger spacebar! - check it out compare iOS 4.2 to 4.3 - the spacebar is wider in both landscape and portrait mode - a nice little enhancement
Am I the only one who noticed that the ONLY people that talk about Fruit Ninja on any podcast, anywhere, are women?
No, seriously... if you look, I'm SURE you can find men talking about it - but I'm honestly wondering - is there something about this game that subconsciously appeals to the female demographic? Something to consider.
Georgia intro FTW.

Energy committee buckles down on grants, outreachBy Erin Mansfield
CORRESPONDENT | April 03,2014WALLINGFORD With frustration about the Wallingford Elementary School bond revote dominating its monthly meeting, the Wallingford Energy Committee decided to pursue an aggressive outreach campaign to secure bond validation April 22.
The six members at the meeting decided to pursue a calling campaign, mobilize parents, and put a sign outside Town Hall warning of the revote. They will pursue as many grants to fund the project as possible, they said.
What happens in a special election is that those who are against the project turn out, and those who support it dont, co-chairman Jay White said. Weve got to organize.
Member John Armstrong said the committee could get high voter turnout if they focus on messaging.
What youre really doing is making the school viable, Armstrong said. What youre really doing is keeping the school.
The $900,000 bond would fund the 75 percent of what Energy Committee co-chairman Ken Welch called a comprehensive and sensible renovation project, which includes nine specific energy renovations.
Three of the major energy initiatives include installing a pellet boiler, installing photovoltaic solar panels on the roof and replacing electric kitchen equipment with gas-based equipment.
Originally expecting the project to be completed during summer, school officials said, the committee is now saying the vote delay has crunched the projects schedule.
Its going to be tight, White said.
If theres been one slight silver lining to this whole fiasco, its that weve had more time to chase down grant money, he said.
Welch said he already considered funding for the photovoltaic panel project through a Rural Development grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but the town turned out to be ineligible. Instead, he said, he is pursuing a Clean Energy Development Fund Grant through Vermonts Public Service Department.
I wanted to go for half of our project, and our whole project is $140,000, he said. Welch told the committee the specific grant is competitive and is likely to be split among many projects across the state.
Were going to get as much as we can, Welch said after the meeting. Well settle for less.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

Charles Shaw
By Jessica Yadegaran
Wednesday, January 24th, 2007 at 12:45 pm in Uncategorized.
My colleague Blanca Torres did a story on Trader Joe's on Sunday, and some readers are posting to her blog about Charles Shaw wine. Two readers said that they pour the stuff into more expensive bottles of wine and serve it at parties, unbeknowst to their guests. One of the readers called the more expensive labels 'rip-off' wines. My comments, if you will:
– Don't mislead your guests. There are vessels to pour wine in to prior to serving it. They even have a chemical function. Decanters and carafes not only help the wines open up and improve the taste, but they are a classy, incognito way of serving your wine.
– Decanting a wine can actually make a $2 wine taste like an $8-$10 bottle. It's a great secret among sommeliers. Try it.
– Calling a more expensive wine a rip off is just silly. Wines that cost more, by and large, are made by smaller operations and in smaller production quantities. The grapes cost more and the wines are typically of more premium quality.
– If you increased your wine budget by even a $1 or $2, you'd be surprised what better bargains abound down the aisle from Two Buck Chuck. Trader Joe's sells excellent sparklings from Germany (great with brunch) for $3.99. Their private label wines, most run under $6, are impressive too. That's practically all my parents drink.
– Lastly, Charles Shaw is not an illegitimate product. They have a fully functioning winery in the Napa Valley but keep their costs down by not operating a tasting room or public space.

Illini Men Come Up Short in Qualifying
Oct. 19, 2007
Official ITA Midwest Regional Tournament Web Site
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Sophomore Jordan Knue and freshman Calon Alpar could not overcome their first-round contests at the 2007 Wilson/Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Midwest Regionals on the campus of the University of Minnesota. With opening-round losses, Knue and Alpar have dropped into the consolation bracket, leaving seniors Brandon Davis and Ryan Rowe and sophomore Billy Heiser to carry the Illinois torch in the singles main draw at the Midwest Regionals being hosted at the Baseline Tennis Center.
For the day's results, Knue fell to Marquette's Nick Boulieris - the qualifying bracket's 14th-seed - in a tough 7-6, 6-4, loss. For Alpar, a slow start proved his demise in a 6-3, 6-0, loss to Viktor Maksimcuk of Louisville.
The continued schedule at the Regionals includes two rounds of consolation play in the qualifying bracket and two rounds of main draw doubles play on Friday.
Tomorrow's Illini action includes Knue and Alpar taking on Ra'ees Ismail (XU) and David Seyferth (Northwestern), respectively, in the qualifying consolation bracket.
In doubles, Rowe and Heiser, seeded fourth, open play against Trenton Hagan and Dusan Medan of Marquette at 5 p.m., while Davis and Knue are set to battle Walker Grimes and Greg Holm of Iowa at 4 p.m. Should both Illini tandems advance, they will play their second-round main draw doubles matches not before 8:30 p.m.
For continued coverage, fans can visit www.itatennis.com or www.gopherspoorts.com for results and score updates throughout the tournament, while a full recap of each day's action for the Illini will be available at www.fightingillini.com.

| Childrens Violence | Preschoolers Playing With Toy Guns | Kids Playing With Guns
M y five-year-old son, Declan, is waving a toy pistol at his baby sister as she pulls sandwich bags out of a box. Molly smiles, and Declan retreats, galloping out of the kitchen to continue playing elsewhere, my pleas to not shoot an unarmed baby trailing after him like dust behind his hobby horse.
This behavior is par for the course in our house, where Declan and his 4-year-old brother Ronan are more likely to be found engaged in battle than in building blocks. I never thought I'd be the kind of mom who would allow her kids to play with guns. I grew up surrounded by women in a home where play was dominated by Barbie. But by age two, Declan was obsessed with pirates. His first gun came in a dollar store pirate set that we bought for the eye patch, hook, and bandana; we figured he'd play with the gun for a few minutes and then it would break and we'd be done with it. That gun is still a favorite, even though it's wrapped with duct tape from years of overuse.
But when he intentionally shoots his baby sister, I start to wonder: have I been too lax?
Most of Declan's free time is spent dressing up as a knight or a pirate or soldier, packing a fake sword and galloping through the house on a quest to rescue a maiden or vanquish a villain. I love that Declan is imaginative this way. When we went on a family trip to Mount Vernon, Declan convinced his dad to buy him a Revolutionary War pistol at the gift shop. He uses the pistol to pretend he's George Washington, fighting the Redcoats, or to defend his cousin, Princess Gretchen, from an imaginary but deadly-sounding "Mean Guy." Who says toy guns and swords are all bad?
Not England's Department for Children, Schools, and Families, which issued a report in October 2007 called "Confident, Capable and Creative: Supporting Boys' Achievements." In it, experts advised schools to allow children to engage in fantasy play involving weapons: "Creating situations so that boys' interests in these forms of play can be fostered through healthy and safe risk-taking will enhance every aspect of their learning and development."
But not everyone agrees. A study from Brandeis University, published in October 1992 in the journal Early Education and Development, found that toy gunplay can lead to aggressive behavior. Researcher Malcolm Watson, chairman of the school's psychology department, wrote, "The more a child plays with toy guns, the more real aggression and the less pretend aggression will be exhibited." This flies in the face of one theory I've heard in parenting circles about the alleged benefits of toy guns, that playing with pretend weapons allows children to channel their aggression in a healthy way.
Not that I need a reason to let my boys play with weapons; the fact is, I see guns and swords as little more than dress-up props, tools to help them act out whatever elaborate scenes their minds create. But I'm in the minority; no matter what some studies say, most of my friends don't approve of toys guns. And they aren't shy about telling me. My friend Steffanie Seccol of Wynnewood, Penn., whose son, Evan, is four, told me point blank, "We throw the guns out of Lego sets, return birthday gifts that are pirate sets with swords and guns and reprimand him when he makes the gun shape with his fingers."

Zoo races to save extreme butterfly from extinction
(08/15/2013) In a large room that used to house aquatic mammals at the Minnesota Zoo, Erik Runquist holds up a vial and says, 'Here are its eggs.' I peer inside and see small specks, pale with a dot of brown at the top; they look like a single grain of cous cous or quinoa. Runquist explains that the brown on the top is the head cap of the larva, a fact that becomes more clear under a microscope when you can see the encased larva squirm. I'm looking at the eggs of a Poweshiek skipperling, a species that is more imperiled than pandas, tigers, or bluewhales. Once superabundant, only several hundred Poweshiek skipperlings may survive on Earth today and the eggs I'm looking at are the only ones in captivity.
Fracking sucks up all the water from Texas town
(08/15/2013) Beverly McGuire saw the warning signs before the town well went dry: sand in the toilet bowl, the sputter of air in the tap, a pump working overtime to no effect. But it still did not prepare her for the night last month when she turned on the tap and discovered the tiny town where she had made her home for 35 years was out of water.
Water crisis widening: 4.5 billion people live near 'impaired water sources'
(05/28/2013) The majority of the 9 billion people on Earth will live with severe pressure on fresh water within the space of two generations as climate change, pollution and over-use of resources take their toll, 500 scientists have warned.
Featured video: How climate change is messing with the jetstream
(05/08/2013) Weather patterns around the globe are getting weirder and weirder: heat waves and record snow storms in Spring, blasts of Arctic air followed by sudden summer, record deluges and then drought.
Featured video: stemming human-caused fires in the Amazon
(04/09/2013) A new series of 5 films highlights how people use fire in the Amazon rainforest and how such practices can be mitigated. Collectively dubbed "Slash & Burn" each film explores a different aspect of fire-use in the Amazon. In recent years the Amazon has faced unprecedented droughts, possibly linked to climate change and vast deforestation, making the issue of human-started fires even more important.
Innovative idea: wildlife income may help people withstand drought in Africa
(03/18/2013) Getting local people to become invested in wildlife conservation is not always easy, especially in parts of the world where protected areas are seen as taking away natural resources from local communities. This tension lies around Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, where a growing population of livestock herders competes with wildlife.
Climate change already pummeling U.S. according to government report
(01/14/2013) Climate change is on the march across the U.S. according to a new draft report written by U.S. government scientists with input from 240 experts. It documents increasing and worsening extreme weather, rising sea levels, and ocean acidification among other impacts. Released Friday for public review, the report will be officially launched later this year or early in 2014.
World Bank: 4 degrees Celsius warming would be miserable
(11/20/2012) A new report by the World Bank paints a bleak picture of life on Earth in 80 years: global temperatures have risen by 4 degrees Celsius spurring rapidly rising sea levels and devastating droughts. Global agriculture is under constant threat; economies have been hampered; coastal cities are repeatedly flooded; coral reefs are dissolving from ocean acidification; and species worldwide are vanishing. This, according to the World Bank, is where we are headed even if all of the world's nations meet their pledges on cutting greenhouse gas emissions. However, the report also notes that with swift, aggressive action it's still possible to ensure that global temperatures don't rise above 4 degrees Celsius.
Obama breaks climate silence at press conference
(11/14/2012) At a news conference today, a question by New York Times reporter Mark Landler pushed President Obama to speak at some length about climate change. In his answer, Obama re-iterated his acceptance of climate science and discussed how progress on tackling climate change might proceed in his second term, though he also noted that he wouldn't put action on the climate ahead of the economy. President Obama made a small reference to climate change in his victory speech following his historic re-election last Tuesday, but his answer today was the most the president has talked about the issue at any length since at least Hurricane Sandy.
It's not just Sandy: U.S. hit by record droughts, fires, and heatwaves in 2012
(11/05/2012) As the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy—killing over 100 people and producing upwards of $50 billion in damage along the U.S. East Coast—has reignited a long-dormant conversation on climate change in the media, it's important to note that this is not the only weird and wild weather the U.S. has seen this year. In fact, 2012 has been a year of record-breaking weather across the U.S.: the worst drought in decades, unprecedented heatwaves, and monster forest fires. While climatologists have long stated that it is not yet possible to blame a single extreme weather event on climate change, research is showing that rising temperatures are very likely increasing the chances of extreme weather events and worsening them when they occur.
From 'fertilizer to fork': food accounts for a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions
(11/01/2012) Growing, transporting, refrigerating, and wasting food accounts for somewhere between 19-29 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions in 2008, according to a new analysis by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). In hard numbers that's between 9.8 and 16.9 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide, more than double the fossil fuel emissions of China in the same year. Over 80 percent of food emissions came from production (i.e. agriculture) which includes deforestation and land use change.
One in eight people suffer from malnutrition worldwide
(10/16/2012) In a world where technology has advanced to a point where I can instantly have a face-to-face conversation via online video with a friend in Tokyo, nearly 870 million people, or one in eight, still suffer from malnutrition, according to a new UN report. While worldwide hunger declined from 1990 to 2007, progress was slowed by the global economic crisis. Over the last few years, numerous and record-breaking extreme weather events have also taken tolls on food production. Currently, food prices hover just below crisis levels.
Over 70 percent of Americans: climate change worsening extreme weather
(10/10/2012) According to a new poll, 74 percent of Americans agree that climate change is impacting weather in the U.S., including 73 percent who agreed, strongly or somewhat, that climate change had exacerbated record high temperatures over the summer. The findings mean that a large majority of Americans agree with climatologists who in recent years have found increasingly strong evidence that climate change has both increased and worsened extreme weather events.
Climate and culture: abrupt change and rapid response
(08/06/2012) As the world experiences record heat, increased drought and fires, unprecedented ice melt and similar extreme weather anomalies decades before expected, climatologists have been forced to reconsider previous climate change projections and research techniques. Less than a decade ago, scientific consensus considered warming of more than 2 C and atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide near 450 parts per million (ppm) as acceptable or "safe". Revised climate science literature and expert opinion now regard safe atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide as below 350 ppm, or less than 1 C rise in average planetary temperature. Many researchers and environmentalists, however, recognize that the present deviation from pre-industrial temperatures of 0.8 C may be unacceptable to prevent runaway climate change and widespread disasters.
Extreme heatwaves 50 to 100 times more likely due to climate change
(08/05/2012) A recent rise in deadly, debilitating, and expensive heatwaves was caused by climate change, argues a new statistical analysis published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Climatologists found that extreme heatwaves have increased by at least 50 times during the last 30 years. The researchers, including James Hansen of NASA, conclude that climate change is the only explanation for such a statistical jump.
Drought pits farmers against frackers
(08/01/2012) Drought has created a standoff over water supplies in the U.S. Midwest between energy producers and farmers, reports Bloomberg. Natural gas and oil producers have been forced to seek new water sources as they mull calls from farmers and activists to recycle their water, a practice that would make 'fracking' more expensive.
U.S. drought could set in motion global food crisis
(07/23/2012) The U.S. is suffering drought levels not seen in over 50 years—and drawing comparisons to the Dust Bowl—with 56 percent of the contiguous U.S. in moderate to extreme drought. Some experts fear that the drought, and resulting hikes in food prices, could propel another global food crisis like those seen in 2008 and 2010.
Deja vu: U.S. undergoes hottest 12 months on record...again and again
(07/12/2012) According to new data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Climatic Data Center, the last twelve months have been the warmest on record for the contiguous United States. This record, set between July 2011 through June 2012, beat the last consecutive twelve month record set only a month earlier between June 2011 and May 2012, which in turn beat the previous record holder, you guessed it: May 2011 through April 2012.
Climate change increased the probability of Texas drought, African famine, and other extreme weather
(07/11/2012) Climate change is here and its increasing the chances for crazy weather, according to scientists. A prestigious group of climatologists have released a landmark report that makes the dramatic point that climate change is impacting our weather systems—and in turn our food crops, our economies, and even our lives—here-and-now. The new report in the American Meteorological Society is first of what is intended to be an annual offering that will attempt to tease out the connections between climate change and individual extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, droughts and floods.
As U.S. sees record heat, extreme weather pummels 4 continents
(07/10/2012) It's not only the U.S. that has experienced record-breaking extreme weather events recently, in the last couple months extreme weather has struck around the world with startling ferocity. In addition to the much-covered heatwaves, wildfires, and droughts in the U.S., killer floods struck India, the worst drought yet recorded plagued South Korea, and massive forest fires swept through Siberia to name just a few.
The vanishing Niger River imperils tourism and livelihoods in the desert
(06/04/2012) Severely affected by recent turmoil across its northern frontiers, Nigerien tourism pins hope on river valley attractions to play a major role in rebuilding its tourism industry in the upcoming years. Even though the river itself is threatened. Located in the heart of the Sahel Region, the vast desert lands of Niger have captivated European tourists seeking a taste of its immensely varied natural landscapes.
Thousands worldwide to "connect the dots" between climate change and extreme weather this weekend
(05/03/2012) On Saturday, May 5th vulnerable populations from the United States to Bangladesh will "connect the dots" between devastating extreme weather and climate change in a global day of action organized by 350.org. The nearly 1,000 events occurring in over half of the world's nations are meant to highlight to governments, media, and the public that climate change is impacting lives through an increase in number and intensity of devastating weather events, such as droughts, heatwaves, and floods.

|California Captures First PGA Junior League Golf Championship
|California was the only undefeated team in the two-day, three-match Championship, with teams from Georgia, Florida, New Jersey, Texas and Illinois competing in the finals.
CHICAGO, Ill. – Just a week before the 39th Ryder Cup will be contested in the Chicago area, a group of junior golfers from California (San Francisco) won the first-ever PGA Junior League Golf Championship at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club Sunday (Sept. 16).
California was the only undefeated team in the two-day, three-match Championship with teams from Georgia, Florida, New Jersey, Texas and Illinois also competing. The final saw two undefeated teams playing for the Championship, with California besting Georgia 8.5 - 3.5.
"We offer congratulations to not only the team from California but to all of the teams," said PGA of America President Allen Wronowski. "The PGA of America is proud to bring this recreational youth sports team concept to golf. This was an incredible finale to a great first year, and we look forward to engaging many more young golfers next year."
Coordinated by The PGA of America and LEJ Sports, PGA Junior League Golf (www.PGAJrLeagueGolf.com) is a new team concept for aspiring young golfers, ages 7-13, similar to "Little League Baseball." More than 1,800 children competed on more than 120 teams from 22 markets in league play this summer. Five Regional champions, plus the Illinois team (host market), advanced to the championship.
Each team played three head-to-head matches with the Championship decided by the team with the best overall record:
Champion - California (San Francisco), 3-0, Captain Andy Nisbet, PGA - 29 Points
The concept brings players together to learn the game among their peers under the direction of PGA/LPGA Professionals (team captains). Parents play an active role, making the program a family activity to create another generation of players to enjoy the game. No previous playing experience is required and players of varied skill levels filled out the teams. Matches are coed, two-person scrambles, reinforcing the team concept and limiting the pressure on any one player. Much like other league sports, participants play in team uniforms with jersey numbers. The program will be available nationally in 2013.

Earnhardt knows 1 near-win only a good start
FONTANA, Calif. Dale Earnhardt Jr. isn't getting too excited about his late charge to a surprise second-place finish at Daytona.
While Earnhardt admittedly enjoyed the ride - and the reminder of "what success or what doing something good feels like" - he knows a near-win one race into the season at a track where he's been good before isn't a sure indication that everything is right again.
The No. 88 team needs more good finishes, and the next chance is Sunday at California.
"I know I wouldn't be able to really convince anybody that we were back or we are a strong team or had fixed anything until we come to these kind of tracks and run good at them," Earnhardt said.
After the season-opening Daytona 500, the restrictor plates are off and it's time to get on the kind of tracks that dominate the 36-race championship season. First comes the 2-mile speedway at California, then the 1 1/2-mile Las Vegas track next weekend.
"Everybody in the garage kind of feels like this is the start of the regular season. Daytona is so different than every other kind of racing that we do and of course it's the Daytona 500," said Jimmie Johnson, the four-time Sprint Cup champion and California native who has won four times at his home track.
"Everybody is really interested and anxious to understand where we are with the cars."
Jamie McMurray followed up his whirlwind week of interviews and appearances as the Daytona 500 champion by qualifying on the pole, giving Earnhardt Ganassi Racing a front-row sweep. Juan Pablo Montoya starts alongside McMurray after qualifying second, with Clint Bowyer and Kasey Kahne in the second row.
Earnhardt starts 27th at Auto Club Speedway, where his best finish in 16 races was runner-up to Kahne in September 2006.
At Daytona, Earnhardt came out of nowhere to almost steal the win during NASCAR's version of overtime. He was 22nd on the first attempt at a green-white-checker finish and moved into 10th place before another caution set up another restart, and he charged to McMurray's bumper.
"Things just kind of worked out. All the runs and all the pushes and all the holes just worked out and lined up perfectly for us," Earnhardt said. "I got more text messages and phone calls about those last few laps than I did when I won the damn race. I really enjoyed that."
Earnhardt, the 2004 Daytona 500 champion and a winner there in July 2001, still has a 58-race winless streak and has won just once his last 135 races. That win was in June 2008 during his first season with the Hendrick Motorsports team that also includes Johnson and Jeff Gordon, who knows it's good for NASCAR when Earnhardt is running well.
"It's absolutely important and anybody out here that feels like that's a joke is only kidding themselves," Gordon said. "When he's doing well and the spotlight's on him, it brings more attention to the sport and it helps and benefits all of us, no doubt about it. "

The Himalayan chain rose in the last 30 – 40 million years, as the continental plate of India pushed in under Asia. It stretches for 2800km in a west-northwest to east-southeast direction forming a crescent arc from Afghanistan in the west to Burma (Myanmar) in the east. Beginning near Mount Kailash, the Indus River flows west and turns south around Nanga Parbat (8125m) Pakistan. The Yarlung Tsangpo River rises to the east of Mt Kailash and flows eastwards to Namche Barwa before turning south (and becomes the Brahmaputra River). These rivers roughly embrace the Himalayan chain: which contains all 14 of the earth's 8000m peaks. One third of this range lies along Nepal's northern border and includes 8 of the giants.
Explorers, trekkers and "borderholics" have long gazed wistfully at the remote mountain valleys that border Tibet. These regions have been "off limits" for many decades as they offer easy access to the high trade passes into the land that wished to remain closed to the countries to the south. Occasional visitors returned with stories of a Shangri La steeped in the unknown Tibetan culture.
The fabulous and varied scenery of high altitude deserts and mysterious hidden valleys in the dry western Upper Dolpo and Upper Mustang regions contrasts to the deep jungle gorges of Manaslu and the forested valleys below Kangchenjunga's massive bulk.
Altitude and climate has played its part in determining the mix of peoples who inhabit these regions: broadly speaking, Hindus in the lower valleys and Buddhist cultures higher up with overlaps developing with time. Trekking in the wilderness areas is as much a cultural experience as a physical and visual one.
In October 1991 Nepal's Home Ministry finally announced the opening of the restricted areas. The first to open were Inner Dolpo and Nupri – the region north of Manaslu. In 1993: Upper Mustang and then the western Humla region (allowing cross border treks to Tibet's Mt. Kailash). The mysterious Nar Phu valley (and a former settlement of Khampa Tibetan armed rebels) was opened in 2002.
Our wilderness treks follow ancient caravan and animal trails, and offer the ultimate opportunity of exploring cultures that have been largely untouched by 'modern civilization'. The Kangchenjunga, Makalu, Ganesh Himal and Rolwaling Valley trails are particularly stimulating both in their variety of landscape, fauna and flora, as well as the rich local cultural heritage. Consider these treks as special, if rougher, alternatives to the crowded Annapurna, Langtang and parts of the Everest trails.
Makalu Base Camp Trek offers a classic, trekking experience towards the world's fifth highest summit (8483m/27818ft).
Manaslu trek of Manaslu region "Mountain of the Spirit," rises above the foothills of the Gorkha District west of Kathmandu. Its villagers are Gurungs, a Tibeto-Burman people who practice Buddhism; with influences of Hinduism in the lower hills. In the Upper Tsum Valley Trek
We offer Lodge trek to Tsum valley Manaslu region. 3 nights stay at Tibetan Monastery in Tsum valley and share unique untouched culture and monk hospitality. Hike to Ganesh Himal and Manaslu Base Camp
Ganesh Himal trek lies to the south of the Langtang range carrying his name is endowed with a rich variety of flora and fauna that our trek sets out to explore.
Dhaulagiri trek start point can be reach: from Kathmandu, we drive westwards for 8-10 hours, through beautiful Middle Hill scenery of forest and terraced farmlands just south the Himalayan Range.
Rupina La pass trekking is challenging trekking trial in Nepal. Rupina La pass is less touristy area of Nepal Himalayas lies on the Manaslu region. Rupina la pass trek was officially opened to tourist in 1991.
Kangchenjunga Base Camp Trekis geographically and culturally superb. Fly from Kathmandu to Biratnager in the lowlands and up to Suketar. The trail drops, through terraced farmlands and forests to the village of Mitlung on the Tamor River and then follows the river to the picturesque cluster-village of Chiruwa.
Highlights of Tsum vvalley include the village of Chhekampar with its stone houses and slate roofs, Milarepa's cave, Mu Gompa and Rachen Gompa to the south has nuns of the Ngak-pa sect. Gumba Lungdang is another important nunnery where trekkers are welcomed at the evening puja. Their 360o views are amongst the best on the trek.

Political divides stall Iraq parliament
Posted: July 14, 2014 at 3:23 a.m.
BAGHDAD -- Iraq's deadlocked parliament failed Sunday to overcome the deep divisions hampering the formation of a new government, making no progress on choosing new leaders who could help hold the nation together and confront the Sunni militant blitz that has overrun much of the country.

Come'on guys – the 'buy American' (tanker) is okay but to say 'when was the last time we bought something that wasn't?' and going back to the Canberra bomber is a little weak.
C-27J, T-6A, T-45 are all more recent examples of off-shore designs (with US production), the Harrier is the fighter example, likely the replacement for the T-38 will have to come from somewhere else.
The point that was accurate is US industry has a number of 'blind spots' where they simply don't play – anything turboprop between a Cessna Caravan and a C-130 is a little hard to find. Likewise small jet trainers and light attack are non-existant in US production.
You only have to look at the inventory of regional carriers to see the lack of US designs. Yes, there are a few King Airs and Beech 1900s out there but there are probably more Swedish (Saab) airplanes than either of those – let alone Canadian or Brazilian.
[Christopher sent in some good points and material to discuss…]
Hi Max Flight and gang,
I am writing to suggest a new topic for an upcoming episode and comment about the Concord/Richard Branson comment in Episode 98.
Episode 98:
Just to set the record straight – Richard Branson offered the British Government one pound sterling for the Concords, because that is what the British Government charged BA for the plane. The Concord or 'Concorde' was designed, developed, and built by a concord between the British and French governments. The British Industry and Trade Commission funded Rolls Royce (the engine manufacturer) and British Aerospace (the airframe manufacturer) until 1984. It was only then that British Airways took financial responsibility for the Concorde Program and ran it as a for profit route.
Sir Branson was mocking British Airways' history of government aid by offering to buy and continue to run the Concord Program. BA had refused to sell him the planes and instead put them in a museum, refusing to let them be operated by any other airlines. (Talk about wasting residual value!) As a result, super-sonic flight was lost for us all.
Future Topic:
The Transportation Security Administration –
I think its hard now to talk about either GA or the airlines without discussing TSA. TSA appears to be growing its influence over the aviation community with each passing week. The latest news this week of TSA compiling a list of people who make comments or cause trouble while passing through security is frankly frightening. (See attached news article)
For the Airlines – you may explore the possibility of TSA's authority at airports hampering the airline's ability to effectively compete on services. With TSA heckling passengers, no wonder people would rather drive 6 hours than take a commuter flight.
For GA – after the failed Times Square bombing, TSA is cracking down on Private Charter security (aka Twelve-Five Standard Security Program). Why? I have no idea. See attached article from aviation week. Also at larger airports such as John Wayne in Orange County, CA – they are making access to the field for GA pilots more difficult and hurting flight schools such as Sunrise Aviation.
For the taxpayers – TSA has deployed a whole team of people that compare your driver's license or passport with a a paper ticket that most air-travelers print off of their computers these days. That ticket has your name and a bar code on it. It also is a very easy document to tamper with; it doesn't take a computer graphic designer to change the name on the ticket before you print it out. Someone could easily do it with the paint program on most windows machine.
Imagine the scenario: Someone not on the no-fly list could first buy a ticket, then someone else working with the ticket buyer could change the name on the ticket to match their driver's license or passport. Then that same person could board the flight. The TSA security checker wouldn't know the difference and once the guy had his ticket scanned on the jet-way, the airline would think the original ticket buyer was on the flight. TSA wouldn't know the difference! Why is TSA paying these people's salaries to stand their and check tickets?
I am 23 years old and a GA instrument pilot. I very much enjoy your podcast each week – thanks for putting it on!
Hi there,
I'm Diego from Spain (aeropodcast). Listening to episode 99 talking about Ryanair coming to Barcelona I just would like to note some points on the analysis:
Ryanair is talking about bringing 3 MM extra passengers to BCN next year. I've analyzed the data of number of passengers transported on 2009 and out of the 19.500.000 that Ryanar transported in Spain (is the second busiest airline in Spain) 6.200.00 where transported from Girona and Reus Airports.
Girona Airport was been called "Barcelona Noth" on Ryanair from the beginning and is a 40 minute drive from Barcelona. So my point is that Ryanair will not create more traffic on the area but basically will shift the outgoing airport. Anyhow I'm sure it's great news for BCN airport as Ryanair will probably bring much more tourist from outside Spain, so the incoming traffic will be increased.
We will wait and see.
Congratulations for the show and go for number 200.

One mistake I've made was selling a Honda Rebel to buy a KLR650. I just enjoyed the little Rebel more. It's perhaps the only motorized thing I have owned that exceeded my expectations. However I will admit that the idea of piloting a Rebel on the I-294 tollway around Chicago doesn't appeal to me at all.
I split from south of Green Bay WI once and didn't stop until I was almost all the way to the Apostle islands. I camped overnight In Mellon WI and had a great time. It took a buggerload of bungee cords to get the job done but I wanted to ride. For 300 miles a day I rode to my heart's content. A great ride that cleansed the soul.
I did run into a father and son riding boxers together and they got away from me quickly. I'm sure they thought I'd lost my mind.
I think that it's more important to have a motorized cycle than a motor that happens to have a cycle.
Thanks for this thread. I'm going to read, think and seriously reconsider the goals I have for my motorcycle ownership and riding.

Longtime WMAR-TV weatherman and features reporter Tony Pagnotti will be leaving the station's news division, although he will remain with Channel 2 to work on unspecified projects.
News that a familiar face at WMAR would be taken off the air seemed to support fears that a wide-scale shake-up was imminent at the station, which rates a distant third in the ratings among Baltimore's big-three network affiliates. In August, the station announced a buyout package aimed at reducing the payroll at the Scripps-Howard-owned ABC affiliate, and rumors pop up every few days that one big name or another at the station is on his or her way out.

Antique and Thrift shops?
I also posted 'Britain in late Jan/early Feb??' earlier today. My daughter and I are just in the early stages of planning our trip. Both of us enjoy antique and thrift-store shopping here in Canada. I know there are lots of antique shops in Britain - are the prices really high? have people found things that small enough to bring home? Or is antique 'shopping' best to be just for 'window shopping'? Thrift store shopping - for clothes - ARE there thrift shops? What do others think of them? thanks

On the downside, I can't see the Reds making any more significant trades for a while...
...because they are completely set at every position. Wow.
Go BLUE!!!
In 149 big league games, Cozart is a 3 win player according to baseball-reference.com. I'll take that from a shortstop.
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
If Zack Cozart is the most pressing of our concerns, I'd say we're a legitimate World Series contender, no?
Call me crazy, but I still think Walt might have something up his sleeve. He's still got Leake available, for example. There are some teams out there that could use a pitcher like that. And I think the FO values D too much not to at least try to rectify the CF situation...
Don't get me wrong. I think they are ready to go to war with a Bruce-Choo-Ludwick OF. But I think Walt will still sniff around to see if there is a way to get better.

|toolbar powered by Condui
Parents of Gastroschisis are steadily growing as a community on the internet today and recognising like minded families that have experienced the condition i have developed a toolbar that brings us all even closer together.
The toolbar itself brings together all of the websites that you maintain, every time you update your website the toolbar updates itself. How does it do this? It updates itself by reading the RSS feed within your blog. The beauty of the toolbar is that you will never have to visit this website or any other to find out if we have news because the toolbar will let you know no matter where you are on the web!
I have named it your gastroschisis toolbar simply because we will build the features we want to see together, already installed it has a Search Box, Your Blogs, Chat Room, Message box and an Email Notifier.
If you would like to see other features added let me know via the Message box within the toolbar and before you know it it will be there!
One further thing, every time the toolbar is downloaded and installed i will personally donate £0.25p to the Tiny Lives Foundation, they provide specialist baby care equipment and fund research at the Newcastle RVI where my daughter Tanisha was born and without that equipment my daughter would never have pulled through her Gastroschisis.
You do not have to register at this site to get the toolbar, although it would help when it comes to adding your blog if you have one to the Your Blogs section, it is free to download and install, without advertising, small file size and every time a new feature is added the toolbar again will update itself, so there is no need to reinstall.
You can download the Gastroschisis Toolbar directly or you can read more about it's features.

Persecution Podcast 139: North Africa, Uzbekistan, Eritrea, and Bangladesh
David and Dory share prayer updates for the countries of North Africa, Uzbekistan, Eritrea, and Bangladesh.
A new believer in Central Asia is buried with Christ through baptism, to begin a new life. In Central Asia, this can mean leaving everything behind and trusting God alone.
North Africa
The latest seminary class for a group of North African pastors has been delayed because of unrest in the region. A VOM partner reports that the students involved are very eager to continue their studies. In the meantime, they continue to study God's Word and prepare themselves for leadership in their local churches. Because of government restrictions, all churches in this region must meet in secret. "We feel confident that classes will resume in the very near future," a VOM partner said. "Please make this an urgent matter for prayer." Pray that the class will be able to resume soon and that the work of these ministers will bear much fruit in this region.
Uzbekistan is seeking to extradite a refugee from Kazakhstan on charges that carry a maximum 15-year jail term. Pastor Makset Djabbarbergenov, who fled to Kazakhstan and was recognized as a refugee by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, has been charged with exercising freedom of religion or belief in his hometown of Nukus. On Oct. 15, a court in Almaty, Kazakhstan, authorized detention until Nov. 5 and claimed the Uzbek charges could be equated to terrorism-related charges under Kazakh law. The Supreme Court claims it cannot find an appeal that Makset filed in August. Please pray that Makset will not be deported. Pray that the Lord will give Makset and his wife the strength to remain faithful.
Christians in Eritrea are alarmed by an increase in Christian arrests and by the fact that the government appears to be arming citizens for unknown reasons. Authorities have continued to arrest Christians throughout Eritrea, holding them for several months before releasing them. The most recent arrests have occurred on the outskirts of the capital, Asmara. In addition, the government is arming citizens between the ages of 18 and 70 with AK-47 rifles. "The latest report I have from Asmara is that now, for a few hours every day, everyone is taking some kind of a basic training [with the weapons]," wrote a VOM contact. "There is rumored speculation [that the distribution of arms] started when the late Ethiopian prime minister was sick; there is a tense fear that the new Ethiopian political situation might trigger another conflict. [The other possible explanation is that] as usual it is a diversion that the government creates to occupy its citizens," the contact said. Pray for God's protection of Christians in Eritrea and for stability and political reform in the country.
Pray for families in need of emergency funds for court fines and fees. The relief will go to persecuted families in remote house churches who have urgent needs. Pray also for the workers involved in delivering the funds.

Cumbria police chiefs hit back after complaints show steep rise
Last updated at 14:14, Friday, 15 August 2014
POLICE chiefs have defended the record of the Cumbria force after complaints against it rose by nearly a third.
Chief Constable Jerry Graham said the increase worked out at about one extra allegation every three days across a year, pointing out policing was a job that inherently attracted complaints.
He also said figures were declining when looked at across more recent months rather than across the whole year.
A discussion was held among senior crimefighting figures after statistics showed allegations were up by 32 per cent in the last year. Accusations included unprofessional conduct, malpractice and incivility.
A report to Cumbria's police and crime commissioner, Richard Rhodes, said the county scored well when measured against national statistics and a high number of complaints were unsubstantiated.
This report was put under the spotlight at a meeting of Mr Rhodes' executive board yesterday. Deputy Chief Constable Michelle Skeer said figures for April to June showed a big drop compared to January to March.
There were 513 allegations in the 12 months to July, compared to 388 in the year before.
Mr Graham said: "When investigated, to a large degree, many of these are unsubstantiated. Policing is inherently an occupation that attracts complaints."
Figures show that complaints of unprofessional conduct drew the highest number of allegations – 234.
The report offers some perspective regarding the numbers, outlining the scale of police work in Cumbria.
It states that during the current 12-month period there were 121,780 incidents, 23,916 crimes and 17,771 arrests.
Cumbria has the third-lowest percentage of allegations upheld nationally. Only 4.9 per cent of allegations investigated by the force's professional standards department were upheld.

Have your say
Wally, sorry but confused by what you think I am defending? I'm not a copper if that's what you think?
The USA has a saying when the public pour dislike and disdain on their local Police - " OK, you got a problem ? - then try calling a hippy"They may have (many) faults, but it's all we got . How about we support them for the good they do, rather than damn them and try to damage them for their mistakes ? There are enough people paid to do that anyway.

Woman serves week for heroin possessionBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | September 04,2013WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A woman who admitted several packets of heroin fell out of her pocket in a store in March spent the past week in jail as part of a plea deal.
Kristina Morgan, 24, a former Springfield resident who now lives in Maine, appeared in court in White River Junction a week ago and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of heroin possession and two felony counts of burglary and identity theft.
The felony charges involved a daytime break-in at her stepfathers home in March. Police said a neighbor saw Morgan open a porch window, climb inside and leave with a jar containing $300 in change.
Those charges were resolved with a deferred sentence, which means that if Morgan continues to stay out of trouble for the next three years, no sentencing will take place.
For heroin possession, Morgan was sentenced to serve six to 12 months, with all but seven days suspended.
Police said Morgan made a purchase at Jasinskis Market on March 1 and left with a pair of male friends. After she left, a store clerk saw five blue postage-stamp-size wax paper packets on the floor.
The clerk picked up the small bags, all stamped with Grind City and a skyline logo, and put them in the back office while she called police.
The clerk saw Morgan return briefly with her male friends, police said, and they walked up every aisle of the store looking at the floors before leaving.
Springfield Police Officer Anthony Leonard said the stores video surveillance clearly showed something small and blue falling out of Morgans pocket as she took out money. Leonard said the total amount of heroin in the packets was just over a gram.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

JB Hi-Fi expects the soccer World Cup and the release of 3D television to contribute to growth in the second half of the financial year after sales in March and April fell below expectations.
In a presentation to an equities conference last week, the electronics retailer re-affirmed its FY10 guidance of sales to be around $2.8 billion and net profit before tax (NPAT) at $117 million to $120 million.
Terry Smart, chief operations officer at JB Hi-Fi said Avatar, the World Cup and the 3D TV launch will drive growth in the fourth quarter after "sales for March and April fell behind expectations."
Smart conceded that last year's Federal Government stimulus package supported sales more than anticipated.
The company remained "cautious" of recent interest rate rises and it's impact on consumer spending.
A negative impact may be limited by Australia's stronger economy and lower unemployment, the company said.
Meanwhile, chief executive Richard Uechtritz will stand aside at the end of the month.
Company chairman Patrick Elliot said the CEO transition has "gone extremely smoothly".
Smart is "now fully engaged in all areas of the business, as COO, Elliot said.
Uechtritz will be employed as a consultant until 2013 and will join the Board as a non executive director in 2011.

OK, I was having this issues in another thread, but I didn't really know how to ask the right question. I figured out my beef with scripts and plug-ins that are not specially made for WP. Many times it requires a block of js code in the HTML file…right? And for some reason, for me, that seems to screw things up. The answer I guess would be to put it in the functions.php file, but I can never seem to touch that file without screwing it up.
I'm wondering how your theme is set up? Only in very rare circumstances should you be inserting JS through a Post or Page. You should be editing your theme (most likely the header.php) to include JS files.
not in a post/page…Sometimes you need to enter script tags in the header.php file and then add a block of code (even though it's already linking to an external js file) in the head tag or right after the footer tage. Does that make sense?
I was doing that a lot when I was building site with Dreamweaver.
Totally makes sense.
Can you give an example of what you've tried that has screwed something up?
I was trying to use this plug-in for a Dynamic Grid Layout.
It looks pretty simple, how are you including it in your theme files?
I entered the external js in a script tag in the head, and then that block of code at the bottom, right before the closing body tag….that's the way they have it in their example. It didn't work. Could it have been conflicting with something in the functions.php file? I'm not touching that. When it comes to js I only copy and paste.
I have since found a WP plugin for this behavior, but would still like to know how to deal with these non-WP plug-ins.
This line:
Needs to go after you include jQuery – sounds like you might have accidentally been putting it before.
I made sure the script tags were in order and still couldn't get it to work.
One script I am trying to use requires a block of js in the head tag and another right before the closing body tag. I have a feeling it's just too easy to have conflicts??
I tried putting them the theme .php files, I also found a few wordpress plug-ins that allow custom js and css per page and it's still not working.
Anyway, thanks for trying to help
if you are including js files into wordpress, you should be using wp_enqueue_script in your functions.php file. You could even take it a step further and use conditionals for your page
that's the thing…everytime I try to do anything to the functions.php file I screw it up.
I'd rather not touch it
if you are not using wp_enqueue_script to include your scripts then you are doing it wrong. Just make a backup copy of the functions.php file that way if you screw it up, you can always fix it. Not using the wp_enqueue_script can mess up other plugins. There is a reason the function does exist. If you are going to mess with WordPress, then you must get comfortable messing with the functions.php. Just go all the way to the bottom of the file and start your custom stuff.

Q: I was reading a story in the newspaper that the British Medical Journal has accused Roche Pharmaceuticals of failing to provide full access to the research data on Tamiflu. The article said that there's really no evidence that Tamiflu can actually stop the flu. Do you agree? Do you recommend that people still take it if they have the flu?
A: Even if the anti-viral treatment for flu works as stated, it only reduces the duration of flu symptoms in adults (ages 18-65) by an average of 1.3 days; by just one day in folks older than the age of 65; and by roughly 36 hours in children. So the benefit of a five-day course of Tamiflu is modest at best.
For some time, investigators have been concerned about Tamiflu for two reasons: 1) Tamiflu's manufacturer, Roche, claims that there are 10 studies that show Tamiflu's effectiveness. However, only two studies showing its superiority over placebo were actually published in scientific journals. Further, the original data from those studies is lost and unable to be independently verified, reviewed and critiqued in the usual peer-reviewed fashion; and 2) Roche has been unwilling to provide all requested data that supports the effectiveness of Tamiflu.
The FDA still currently approves Tamiflu for the treatment of uncomplicated influenza A and B in persons age 1 and older who have been symptomatic for no more than two days. However, they also acknowledge that the benefit of such treatment is modest at best. Tamiflu has not been shown in any clinical trials to reduce the rate of hospitalization, flu complications or death compared to folks receiving a placebo dummy pill.
Q: I'm taking Synthroid for a slow thyroid due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I read about how a low dose of naltrexone of just 1 mg has been proven to reverse the symptoms of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. My doctor is unwilling to prescribe it for me. Why wouldn't my doctor recommend something that can cure my slow thyroid?
A: Even if low-dose naltrexone works as well as the hype surrounding it, it cannot cure hypothyroidism and would need to be continued for life. At its purported best, it will get you on a reduced dosage of thyroid replacement hormone or possibly no thyroid replacement, forever substituting it with a compounded low dose of the opioid receptor blocker drug naltrexone. A pill for a pill.
For reasons that aren't clear, your body is destroying thyroid hormone-producing as though it were invading tissue. Even if this miracle drug could somehow modulate that activity, no claim has ever been made that it can cure Hashimoto's thyroiditis and put things back to a pre-disease state. I'd stay on thyroid replacement hormone, since that's proven to work.

The Documentary about a Musical that Changed Thousands of Lives Performed by Two Philadelphia Schools for 30 Years
(Philadelphia, Pa – Friday, July 18, 2014) – On Tuesday, July 22nd, the Philadelphia Film Society (PFS) and the PFS Roxy Theater will premiere Henry Nevison's new documentary "On the Other Side of the Fence", an inspiring behind-the-scenes look at the making of a musical written by award-winning composer/playwright/music therapist Andrea Green and performed by school children as acting and singing partners from the HMS School for Children with Cerebral Palsy (HMS) and Germantown Friends School (GFS). It is a Philadelphia story of a musical that changed thousands of lives over a 30-year period. The film is the highlighted in this month's Filmadelphia at the Roxy local filmmaker series. There will be two screenings – 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. — at the PFS Theater at the Roxy, 2023 Sansom Street in Philadelphia. As there is limited seating, tickets need to be reserved in advance on the Philadelphia Film Society's website: http://filmadelphia.org/events/fatrjuly. Admission is free.
Sharing his enthusiasm about the premiere of "On the Other Side of the Fence," J. Andrew Greenblatt, executive director of PFS, said, "I am thrilled that PFS is able to partner on the premiere of On the Other Side of the Fence, and to be hosting this fantastic event as part of the Filmadelphia @ the Roxy series." He continued, "I couldn't think of a better film for us to present, as On the Other Side of the Fence so perfectly fits both the mandate of our series, to showcase strong films made by Philadelphia-filmmakers or featuring Philadelphia as a central setting, as well as our desire to educate, enrich and inform through film."
"On the Other Side of the Fence" is a feature length documentary that traces the extraordinary development of relationships formed by the children of HMS School and GFS School. Nevison begins the documentary with the GFS and HMS students openly sharing their fear and trepidation about meeting their new acting partners. He follows them in rehearsals, where we see friendships grow and partner teams become true friends. The focus on partners such as Greg and Max, Piper and Emily, and Sean and Ezra, among others, shows how, in time, they learn how to communicate with each other, whether it's with words, the use of an assistive technology device or a simple gaze. Cast member Max sums up the message, "Some people have a difference, but there's always something good about you that other people don't have."
Nevison interviews teachers and parents associated with the schools and authorities like Dr. Dan Gottlieb, nationally recognized psychologist, author and media personality. Said Gottlieb, "This film illustrates so clearly that when "they" become "us", lives change for the better. And what better way to teach, than through this kind of 'musical' approach where kids have fun, make good friends while learning about kindness and acceptance."
Demonstrating the impact of the program, the film features interviews with both GFS and HMS Alumni, including noted Broadway composer, Michael Friedman, who said "Everything I know about musicals, I know from On the Other Side of the Fence. What I learned in third grade is true. Everyone has limitations or disabilities. And you also learn what your abilities are and what other people's special abilities are."
Nevison shows the elation of the students, their parents and teachers when they stage the final production. He also interviews Andrea Green and her project partner and collaborator Teresa Maebori and shows archival clips of them launching this heart-warming project in the early 1980's. The feature length documentary has been produced in collaboration with MiND TV and will air in Philadelphia in September, with national distribution to follow. It will have its international debut this summer in Estonia in Northern Europe.
Emmy Award nominated filmmaker Henry Nevison is a graduate of Temple University and has enjoyed a 30+ year career producing and directing award-winning programming for network television as well as non-profit and corporate clients.
Andrea Green is an award-winning composer/playwright whose musicals are performed throughout the world. Several of her shows are published by Samuel French, Inc and have been presented at the Disney World National Performing Arts Festival, New York Musical Theater Festival, The Walnut Street Theater and many theaters throughout the country. She continues to work as a music therapist. She is a lifelong Philadelphia area resident who received her Bachelor's degree in Music from the U. of Miami and Master's degree in Creative Arts in Therapy from Hahnemann University.
HMS School for Children with Cerebral Palsy serves children through age 21 who have complex, multiple disabilities usually resulting from cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury or other neurological impairment. HMS's state-of-the-art special education and therapy programs maximize each child's abilities and help prepare them for a full, active life engaged in their community. HMS specializes in state-of-the-art assistive technology that expands youngsters' access to the world, harnessing every form of assistive device to maximize students' independence. Learn more about HMS at www.hmsschool.org.
MiND: Media Independence is an innovative public media organization with a 25-year history of programs about equality, social issues for an enlightened community.
Filmadelphia at the Roxy is a monthly film series at the PFS Roxy Theater that provides an avenue for local filmmakers of all ages, levels and backgrounds to showcase their work and elicit audience feedback. The Series serves as a vehicle to encourage and identify new talented filmmakers from throughout the region. Admission is free of charge in an effort to cultivate accessibility and community involvement. Each series is followed by a Q&A at the theater and post-screening happy hour at Cavanaugh's Rittenhouse to continue the conversation and celebrate the films.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation proudly supports Filmadelphia at the Roxy.
