Final payment is normally required by Cruise Line between 70 and 90 days prior to sailing. We therefore ask that you check your final statement and due date as occasionally for extended cruises this may be even earlier. This will be identified to you at the time of booking.
This early payment enables the Shipping Company to complete Immigration and Customs formalities with the many countries that you visit, as well as making sure that sufficient fresh foods and other stores are purchased on route for the exact number of passengers travelling.
In the event where a final payment deadline is missed Cruiseco cannot guarantee the reservation will stay held.

It is your responsibility to ensure payment is received by Cruiseco prior to the final balance due date on the final invoice. In the circumstance where the due date falls over a weekend and or public holiday including NSW dedicated holidays, it is your responsibility to ensure Cruiseco has receipted of payment in advance within Cruiseco operation hours. We cannot guarantee we will be able to extend any missed payment due dates set by the supplier in conjunction with Cruiseco booking terms and conditions.
Prices for supplier products featured on our member's website may vary slightly between the Website and bookings made over the phone via the Cruiseco Reservations Team. It is important to reconfirm the cost of your holiday as components of the cruise or cruise package are often purchased in foreign currency and can fluctuate between the value of that currency and the Australian Dollar causing an adjustment of the Australian Dollar conversion cost of the booking. Travellers should reconfirm the cost of their holiday with their Travel Agent.
Exceptions: Cruise lines reserve the right to impose any reasonable charges prior to the date of sailing and they reserve the right to impose such charge to the passenger prior to embarkation.
Cruiseco reserves the right to make corrections to any quotations calculated or billed in respect of a booking up to the final payment invoice receipt. After the initial payment has been received any amendment made to a booking at any one time may incur additional fees per amendment plus any additional fees relating to the supplier's service which incurs change fees, therefore you should check and confirm the cost of any changes.
Airline penalties apply per ticket per booking. The total cost of your change will depend on the following type of change request; you should confirm fees prior to making. Air booking violations made by you (eg: PNR abuse) example: No-Show of traveller generating an auto cancellation fee from the airline.
In the case of Cruiseco charter products, Cruiseco acts as the principle and additional amendment fees may be due to Cruiseco, please refer to the applicable Cruiseco charter brochure for schedule of fees.
Cruiseco reserves the right to apply administration fees for any voluntary amendment to a ticket purchased through or issued by us in addition to the Airline Fares Rules as per your flight booking summary. The applicable fee structure is listed below and applies within Cruiseco standard hours of operation. Airline (Supplier) change fees are additional and can incorporate administration, airfare and tax differences. We will provide you with an estimated fee amount and on receiving your request to proceed make the necessary changes, noting the final confirmation cost is still subject to the time of ticket change with immediate payment required. Click here to access the "Airline Change Request" form which is to be completed and emailed to: firstname.lastname@example.com
All Cruise and Cruise Package cancellation requests are to be made in writing to Reservations (email@example.com). Cancellation fees may apply to your holiday when a deposit or final payment has been made. These cancellation fees will be levied by the supplier included in the reservation and will be greater the closer you cancel to your travel date. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with what these fees are, before you making a booking.
Please note that a refund can take up to 90 days to process from the supplier. Cruiseco therefore strongly recommends that travellers take appropriate insurance and are covered for cancellation charges due to illness or other circumstances out of their control. For cancellations made after travel has commenced no refund will apply in respect of any travel arrangements or services not utilised whether by choice, or because of late arrival or early departure and including failure of any transport to operate according to schedule. Please note that employees of any supplier are not authorised by Cruiseco to make any refund on behalf of Cruiseco.
There is no refund of the Cruiseco deposits or additional advance payment deposits (where applicable) made to the supplier/provider and a cancellation fees may be payable. Travellers are advised to check with their Travel Agent.
For cancellation fees on Cruiseco chartered products please refer to the relevant charter brochure for full terms and conditions, which are available to download in CruiseHUB.
A late booking is a booking made within 100 days of departure and will only be accepted if payment is made in full at the time of reservation to secure the payment from any cancellation fees if the booking is subsequently cancelled. A late booking fee may be payable. Travellers should confirm the cost of the holiday with their Travel Agent.
Cruiseco can accept credit card and virtual payment for arrangements; however charges will apply dependent on the payment method used. For example the applicable card fees will be;
Surcharges are not shown on any invoice but are calculated at the time of payment and are not refundable in any circumstance.
For direct bank transfer payments, we require the booking number and traveller's name in the reference area when making a transfer (e.g.: K345kp Jones/B). Failure to do so may result in the booking being cancelled if the payment cannot be identified and allocated. For a bank transfer please allow for an additional 2 working days prior to the payment due date stated in the confirmation advice and forward an email to Cruiseco when the payment has been processed.
It has become common for cruise lines and airlines to stipulate immediate payment on confirmation of arrangements to secure cruise cabins and air bookings. Under these circumstances Cruiseco may require a credit card to facilitate the final payment to the supplier as per their terms and conditions. By providing Cruiseco with a credit card details over the phone you are thereby accepting our terms and conditions and authorise payment for your booking.
Cruiseco will re-cost all applicable booked services at the prevailing exchange rate, should there be an exchange adjustment which is out of our control we will provide you with a new statement of account reflecting any adjustments.
It is mandatory that all names on the booking are exactly as per each traveller's passport at time of booking. This includes all three names on the passport when displayed (first, middle and surname). Cruiseco reserves the right to request any additional identification information as set by the supplier's terms and conditions. Any correction or alteration made to a traveller's name after a booking has been made and funds transacted will incur fees and charges as per the terms and conditions set out by the service provider/s and Cruiseco. Providing incorrect information may result in the booking not being confirmed and cancelled.
Most travel suppliers/providers only offer electronic confirmation of reservations, or e- ticketing. For airlines bookings ticket numbers will display on the travel itinerary documentation. We appreciate some paper documents may be a necessary part of your travel arrangements. In the event where the service provider has provided e-documents and you have requested a hard copy of documents on behalf of the cruise line including ticket wallets, then a small fee may apply. Printed documents will include a hard wallets, paper tickets, cruise booklets and itinerary.
All home port and charter cruise bookings will only be distributed electronically. For all other bookings please stipulate whether you wish to receive the documentation either in a .pdf format (auto generates which booked online) or as a printed copy so please ensure you confirm your choice at time of booking.
Supplier's standard release of documents requires finalisation of all payment in full and can include the completion of the online cruise registration by the passenger. Providing the deadline conditions have been adhered to documents are forwarded 14 to 20 days before travel.
Fly/Cruise holidays have the outstanding advantage that all your meals, entertainment and travel are inclusive, once abroad your cruise liner. However, there are also charges that are additional to your basic holiday cost and you should be informed of these, at the time of booking your holiday.
Airport Taxes – levied by airports around the world and charged as a supplementary cost on your ticket.
Port Charges – levied by the port authorities at each destination of your cruise and charged to you separately by the shipping line.
Gratuities – charged by some shipping companies as a compulsory prepaid supplement and identified separately as a supplement on your invoice.
Passports and visas – Please ask your Travel Agent for advice on this.

Items of a personal nature such as beverages, postage, telephone calls, shore excursions etc.
Accommodation - It is possible that flight schedules or availability may require you to overnight before or after your cruise, which is a supplementary cost to be borne by the traveller.
When submitting any information, the person providing the information whether by EMAIL, ONLINE or by PHONE in connection with the booking registration whether at travel enquiry or booking stage must ensure that the information is true, accurate, current and completed in respect of the requirements. We rely on the information provided at every stage. Changes to incorrect information provided may incur high fees and at worst prevent the traveller from utilising their travel arrangement. Should there be a change to the email or phone number on the booking you are obliged to inform us of this.
Cruiseco endeavours to make the information on this website as accurate as possible. We do, however, reserve the right to correct inaccuracies should they occur. Please note that all pricing and holiday inclusions displayed on this site are subject to change and availability at time of booking.
Cruiseco is committed to ensuring any arrangements we have made for you are implemented as arranged. Should a problem arise we will endeavour to address this in the most sensitive and practical way to reach a resolution with the supplier on your behalf. If you fail to follow this course, any claim for compensation may be delayed, reduced or denied. If you have an unresolved complaint, details should be lodged in writing with supporting documentation and evidence. All efforts will be made to resolve the matter with the supplier within 30 days of return to Australia.
A valid passport is required for all Trans-Tasman and International travel. Most countries stipulate all travellers have a minimum of six months validity after the date of return to Australia and for Non- Australian passport holders a valid re-entry permit is also required.
Cruiseco is unable to offer information and advice regarding travel visas. Certain countries require visas prior to departure from Australia and need to be presented at ship embarkation and airline departure check-in. Visa requirements and correct travel documents remain the sole responsibility of Traveller and Cruiseco is not responsible or liable for any costs arising from a rejected visa application, denial of entry into any country along with any fees associated to cancellations implemented for the cancellation or amendment of travel arrangements. If you do not have all the required travel documents Governments may require the supplier of service to present information relating to your travel on and permit access to passengers data. It is your responsibility to find out about visa entry, health and other requirements to enter the country/s with which you are visiting and make the appropriate disclosures as required. These matters are not our responsibility and you agree not to hold Cruiseco including its servants and supplier agents responsible in that regard.
Certain countries require vaccinations before departure from Australia and for other countries it may be a recommendation that health precautions to be taken. It is your responsibility to ensure all health precautions have been taken. Failure to disclose health conditions which may result in the applicable country refusing you entry or in you being detained, expelled or repatriated from it, is of no responsibility of Cruiseco and is not liable for any expenses, costs liabilities or loss incurred in relation to such matters or for your failure to comply with laws, regulations, orders and/or requirements of countries visited.
To ensure the safety of all travellers it may be necessary for Cruiseco or its servants and supplier agents to disclose particulars of your health or any medical condition to suppliers of other services forming part of your travel arrangements. You authorise Cruiseco or its servants and agents to make such disclosure/s on your behalf and agree that any disclosure shall not amount to a breach of confidence or duty and nor will Cruiseco or its servants and agents be held liable in respect thereof in tort or in contract or under any anti-discrimination laws. Cruiseco nor its agents are responsible for any disclosures of health conditions made by the supplier whose services is part of your arrangement or for the acts of any government instrumentalities of the countries connected to here with.
We recommend all travellers check the Travel Advice Notices issued by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade prior to their journey. For example: www.dfat.gov.au/consular/advice or Phone: 1300 555 135 www.smarttraveller.gov.au or Phone: 1300 139 281 for updated travel information
In the interest of all people's health, safety and enjoyment when travelling smoking is no longer permitted on nearly all modes of transport and this includes on-board most ships and vessels, airlines and air terminals, hotels and land providers. Changes in policy are in line with Australian and International standards. In the event where smoking is permitted the service provider will make this public knowledge.
The departure time shown on the itinerary for a cruise line, Airline or land supplier is current at time of issue. The departure time is NOT the same as the check-in time. Check-in time is as per the advice of the service supplier / provider terms and is the latest time at which they will accept a person for travel. The supplier may refuse carriage if late so it is imperative to check the time to present for boarding and check-in.
In support of being ECO FRIENDLY nearly all cruise lines require online booking registration in Cruise Personaliser or Manage My Booking, and must be completed by the traveller before travel documents are released. Failure to do so will cause delays of documents being released 10-20 working days prior to the departure date from Australia. It is your responsibility to make sure the traveller has completed all the necessary registration to avoid delays once final payment has been processed as cruise lines issue documentation in departure date sequence. You are required to forward all documentation to the travelling party to assist in completing their arrangements. In the event a paper booking form and any additional supporting forms (eg: medical clearance forms) be completed it is important you submit the required information for the cruise line.
Cruise lines tend to make shore excursions available to request online about 90 days prior to departure though we recommend checking the cruise lines website regularly or contact the cruise line concerned for an approximate release date, keeping in mind cruise lines may release shore excursions online at any time. We recommend shore excursions be pre-booked prior to departure from Australia to avoid disappointment. Cruiseco is not responsible should any shore excursion/s be sold out or a waitlist closed.
Gratuities' (tipping) in the cruise industry is a customary practice to show appreciation for excellent service. Many cruises lines have mandatory gratuities. On certain cruise lines gratuities are included in the fare passage through they may not cover all services or gratuities during the cruise. Where this is not displayed by the cruise line or on any documentation we recommend as a guideline to allow between USD11.00 - USD15.00 per passenger per day.
Please indicate if you want a cabin which is open for a free upgrade and we will endeavour to make your cabin as an "available for upgrade" status, however there is no guarantee that the upgrade will occur as upgrades are actioned by the cruise line and at their discretion and option. The cruise line will not give advance notice that an upgrade will be allocated nor will they accept requests for any particular cabin grade or number. The upgrade system is an automated system therefore there is no choice. Once an upgrade has been applied it cannot be reversed and you may find the upgrade cabin location is not to your liking which is why we advise to give due consideration to requesting this option.
The definition of a GUARANTEE cabin (GTY) is one where there is no cabin number assigned at the time of booking the cabin. For example, you may book a stateroom of a guaranteed category type (Inside, Oceanview, Balcony, Concierge/Aqua Class or Suite) on your chosen ship and cruise, however the exact grade, number, location of the stateroom on the ship will be allocated by the cruise line at any time up until the check-in port for boarding. Guests booked in a guarantee status cabin/s may not be berthed with other travelling parties due to availability. Cabins allocated may be subject to obstructed views. The benefits of a guarantee (GTY) cabin are that after your booking has been confirmed, the cruise line may (at their discretion) upgrade your cabin to one of a superior category than the category originally booked at no extra charge. Once your guarantee (GTY) cabin has been allocated to you, the cruise line is unable to accept any change requests.
Descriptions and locations for accommodation and features are based on current international hotel guides and information provided by hotels or aggregator and any facilities shown as included are subject to change at any time. Hotel room photographs may not be specific to actual room occupied. As standards of accommodation, facilities and services within your arrangements are based on various factors, Cruiseco makes no specific representation with regard thereto or with respect to fitness for purpose of any that are available or provided. Reference to facilities in hotels such as gyms, spas or saunas does not imply their use is free.
Prices are based on existing bedding in the room which is provided purely as a guide and subject to hotel renovations or other circumstances out of our control. We recommend any special requests be made at the time of booking. e.g.: Twin (2 separate beds) or (a double bed) by sending Cruiseco an email. It is important to note arrangements cannot be guaranteed as hotels may have limited availability of specific bedding types including child and infant bedding. For triple share rooms the additional bed may be rollaway and any additional bedding may incur a charge payable direct to the hotel. To guarantee charges for any incidental items may require validation of a credit card upon check-in with the hotel.
There are various criteria which make up a property rating. Cruiseco Packages are designed to deliver value and quality by offering 3 to 5-star hotels.
Airfare prices are subject to change until payment is received in full and tickets have been issued. Airline carriers reserve the right to amend flight schedules and make flight cancellations at any time without notice. Depending on the reason for the change recouping any costs incurred as a result of these actions will be advised. Cruiseco is not responsible for the actions of an airline and or any additional charges they may impose for in flight food and beverages. Please access the airlines website for full terms and conditions.
The amount of checked baggage you are permitted depends on the class of travel and destination as outlines by the airline carrier. A number of leading carriers have introduced additional charges for checked baggage based on either per piece or weight basis or both. Full details of each carrier's baggage policy and any applicable fees can be found on their website or will display when making the reservation.
In most circumstances, if you are denied boarding by an airline carrier involuntarily, you are entitled to compensation. When required by applicable law, the airline carrier must solicit volunteers before anyone is denied boarding involuntarily. Check with the carrier for the complete terms on payment of denied boarding compensation and for information on the airline carrier's boarding priorities.
Flights may be overbooked and there is a slight chance that a seat will not be available on a flight. Air carriers will often advise seat numbers but it is important to note it is not a guarantee until final boarding.
Persons making bookings online have the option to request seating and other specials requirements e.g.: meals, wheelchairs, medical conditions when available by the airline. Should any service not provide this option you can make the request to us and we will do all possible to confirm this. Passengers are responsible for confirming and checking flights and times with the airline and we recommend this be done 72 hours prior for all flight departures.
It is essential to check frequent flyer number matches that on the passport as this may cause the mileage points to not generate. As a precaution we advise to keep copies of the travel itinerary and boarding passes from the trip so that the airline can assist with crediting any mileage points not generated over the course of the passenger's travels. The airline will provide assistance regarding any redemption points missed.
The Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention system may be applicable to your journey and these Conventions govern and may limit the liability of air carriers for death or bodily injury, for loss of or damage to baggage, and for delay.
Where the Montreal Convention applies, the limits of liability are as follows:
EC Regulation No. 889/2002 requires European Community carriers to apply the provisions of the Montreal Convention limits to all carriage by them of passengers and their baggage by air. Many non-European Community carriers have elected to do so in respect of the carriage of passengers and their baggage.
Where the Warsaw Convention system applies, the following limits of liability may apply:
Further information may be obtained from the carrier as to the limits applicable to your journey.
If your journey involves carriage by different carriers, you should contact each carrier for information on the applicable limits of liability.
Regardless of which Convention applies to your journey, you may benefit from a higher limit of liability for loss of, damage or delay to baggage by making at check-in a special declaration of the value of your baggage and paying any supplementary fee that may apply. Alternatively, if the value of your baggage exceeds the applicable limit of liability, you should fully insure it before you travel.
Time limit for action: Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived. Baggage claims: Written notice to the carrier must be made within 7 days of the receipt of checked baggage in the case of damage, and, in the case of delay, within 21 days from the date on which it was placed at the disposal of the passenger.
You can obtain more information about your contract of carriage, and find out how to request a copy, at places where transportation on the carrier is sold. Many carriers also have this information on their websites. When required by applicable law, you have the right to inspect the full text of your contract of carriage at the carrier's airport and sales offices, and upon request, to receive a copy by mail or other delivery service from each carrier free of charge.
If a carrier sells air transportation services or checks baggage specifying carriage on another carrier, it does so only as agent for the other carrier.
Excess valuation may be declared on certain types of articles. Carriers may apply special rules for fragile, valuable, or perishable articles. Check with your carrier.
Checked Baggage:
Carriers may permit a free checked baggage allowance which is set by the carrier and may differ by class, and/or route. Carriers may apply extra charges for checked baggage in excess of their permitted allowance. Check with your carrier.
Cabin (Unchecked) Baggage:
Carriers may permit a free cabin baggage allowance, which is set by the carrier and may differ by class, route, and/or aircraft type. It is recommended that cabin baggage be kept to a minimum. Check with your carrier. If more than one carrier is providing the transportation for your journey, each carrier may apply different rules on baggage (both checked and cabin).
SPECIAL BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS FOR US TRAVEL: For domestic travel wholly between US points, federal rules require any limit on a carrier's baggage liability to be at least US$3300.00 per passenger, or the amount currently mandated by 14 CFR 254.5.
For safety reasons, dangerous goods must not be packed in checked or cabin (unchecked) baggage except as specifically permitted. Dangerous goods include but are not limited to: compressed gases, corrosives, explosives, flammable liquids and solids, radioactive materials, oxidising materials, poisons, infectious substances, and briefcases with installed alarm devices. For security reasons, other restrictions may apply. Check with your carrier.
Do not pack or carry onboard the items pictured below without checking with your carrier.
Translations and other useful travel information are available on the IATA website:
Carriage hereunder which is wholly within the Commonwealth of Australia and is not international carriage as defined by the Warsaw Convention, is subject to the provisions of the Civil Aviation (Carriers' Liability) Act 1959 of the Commonwealth of Australia as amended or complementary State Legislation and the Liability of the Carrier in respect to the death of or injury to any Passenger is limited to the sum of $A500,000 and in respect of baggage is limited to the sum of $A1,600, and a maximum of $A160 for baggage other than Registered baggage.

Sorry about the long delay folks. Had a lot on my platter. Anyway, I would like to talk about something that has been a long standing passion of mine – Ghost in the Shell Universe. The re-imagining of the origin story that was Arise had be captivated as usual. With the new Ghost Whispers just a few days old, I think it makes sense for me to post my thoughts over the coming weekend. I will be posting my analysis of both the episodes and would discuss elements of computer science, biology (specifically Virology), philosophy amongst many other things.
So, watch out for this space this weekend!

Laxmi Prasad Devkota got enchanted by his visit to Sikkim
Posted by Dr. Rajen Upadhyay on Monday, May 17, 2010
"Ghanghor Dukhasagar Sansar Jaana Bhai, Nagarey Ghamanda Kahiley Marnu Cha Hamilai".
Which reads like...
"Brother, this world's a great sea of tribulations.
We all have to die. Be not arrogant."
He is regarded as the propounding father of romanticism in the Nepali literature. Devkota was deeply influenced by the writings of William Wordsworth, P.B. Shelley, Byron and John Keats. He is the pioneer of modernity or modernism in Nepali literature, especially in essays and poetry, and he is also regarded as 'Anshu Kavi'(spontaneous poet). He could write poems in a spontaneous manner and even while signing autographs for his fans, he used to write a poem before putting his signature. His poetry depicts the romantic characteristics like humanism, metaphysical relationships, aesthetic values, past glories, praise of nature etc. Apart from romantic writings, he wrote some potent revolutionary poems possibly under the impact of P.B.Shelley.
Devkota is also credited with the innovations of native Nepali vocabulary. He not only had a deep vision of literature, but was also well versed in theology, philosophy, history and in all inter-disciplinary genres. Devkota is the first Nepali epic writer showing individuality in Nepali literature and the first ever epic of Nepali language is his Sakuntal. In connection with his 'Sakuntal,' his views were immensely critical. He said –"To date an epic in Nepali literature before the publication of Sakuntal is utterly resembling to the task of finding a snake in the ice land".
The masterpiece which renders him the loftiest position in Nepali Literature is his 'Muna-Madan' in which he tried to portray the deplorable economic condition of Nepal in the most celebrated characters of two youths Muna- a Nepali village girl and Madan- a Nepali peasant. The short epic can be compared to 'Romeo and Juliet' of William Shakespeare in the context of love and emotion . 'Muna-Madan' is written in Jhyaurey prosody, the typical Nepali folk lore. This work of Devkota has been translated into several languages like German, French, English, Russian, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese etc. and it has gained same popularity as it gained in the Nepali literary world.
He was indeed a genius who contributed towards the Nepali literature with many of unforgettable creations like Pramithas, Maharana Pratap etc. Devkota has written in every genre of literature like poems, stories, and essays. A poet who could write a poem instantly, a charming orator, Devkota really was a glorious wonder and the conferring upon him with the title 'Electric Poet' by the Nepali poet of Darjeeling Lt. Paras Mani Pradhan is, in real terms, a great tribute to the diceased poet.
He had once served as an Education Minister in the Nepal's Royal Cabinet headed by K Y Singh under His Majesty King Tribhuwan Bir Vikram Sahadev. Apart from this, Devkota contributed with his alluring writings in the various fields of Nepali literature like essays, novels, epics, dramas, and criticism etc. But, he could not publish all these in his life time due to his poor economic condition. Recently, his new short epic has been published and is named as "Mayabini Sarshi". This great poet of Nepali literature breathed his last on September 14th 1959 at 6:10 P.M (Nepal Time) due to cancer.
This glorious Nepali poet had once visited Sikkim. He was invited here by the APATAN Sahitya Parishad in November 1952. The Apatan Sahitya Parishad is the pioneer literary association of Sikkim founded by four eminent Sikkimese Nepali poets namely Agam Singh Tamang, Padam Singh Subba, Tulshi Bahadur Chettri and Nima Wangdi Lepcha. This Association has contributed a lot for the propagation of literary ideas among the Sikkimese society. He was felicitated at White Hall, Gangtok where Lt. Kashi Raj Pradhan made an introductory speech about Devkota and Padam Singh Subba read the Letter of Appreciation, which was presented to him. The then Sikkim Maharaja Tashi Namgyal roared in laughter when Devkota recited an English poem in Vedic prosody.
An impressive programme was organized by the APATAN Parishad to felicitate the visiting literary personality. The then Chogyal of Sikkim, Sir Tashi Namgyal was the Chief Guest of the occasion. On this occasion, dramas like Satya Harish Chandra, Taramati and Mukunda Indira were staged. His Majesty, the Maharaja of Sikkim Sir Tashi Namgyal was splendidly hailed by Mahakavi Lakshmi Prasad Devkota in a poem which reads like the following:
Hail! Glorious ruler of this mount in state,
Sikkim, the paradise of peaceful peaceful hills,
This lively sweet abode of angels, great,
Great in thy name. Thy well known bounty fills
With plenty of thy kingdom. Stainless soul,
Deeply devoted to the God that thrills
Thy inmost depth, thou findest him all whole
Thy own angelic subjects in their wills
Amassed forever in love to their great good
Selflessly hast thou lived, the Buddha life
In thy keen veins where human love must brood
And multiply, rich and intense to thrive
Thy teeming millions to whom a holy shire
Thou dost with sense of human sacrifice aye in spire.
Gangtok, 19th of November 1952

Champ Bailey, Peyton Manning plan to return to Broncos after Super Bowl defeat
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey, a 12-time Pro Bowler who played in the Super Bowl for the first time in Sunday night's 43-8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, said after the game that he plans to return next season. There had been more of a question around Bailey's future than that of Peyton Manning, who again scoffed at the suggestion that he would call it quits.
"I love the game and I can still play," Bailey said. "That's pretty much what it is. That's all it is. ... It's a little embarrassing to lose like that, but I'm still gonna hold my head up."
MORE: Manning's forgettable record | Seattle fans celebrate | No more NY Super Bowls
Bailey, like most of his teammates, had a rough go on Sunday night. The worst play of Bailey's night probably was when he got beat on a 37-yard completion from Russell Wilson to Doug Baldwin that set up a Seattle field goal. Bailey also took a stiff-arm from Wilson that made the rounds as a symbolic image of the way the night went. He said he would consider even moving to safety.
Manning was more agitated about dealing with questions about his future.
"I've been dealing with those all week," he said. "This doesn't change anything as far as what I want to do. Certainly, for our entire team, I think we used last year's playoff loss to kind of fuel us, and it made us a better team this year. Hopefully we can use this to fuel us this offseason into next season as well."
SAFETY DANCE: The fastest first score in Super Bowl history also was the most unlikely, as the Seahawks began Sunday night with a safety just 12 seconds into the game.
On Denver's first play from scrimmage, center Manny Ramirez snapped the ball over Manning's head, and into the end zone. Running back Knowshon Moreno dived onto the ball to prevent the Seahawks from scoring a touchdown on the play, instead conceding two points as Cliff Avril made contact for the safety.
"None of us heard the snap count," Ramirez said. "I thought I did, so I snapped it, but I guess Peyton was actually trying to walk up to the line at the time."
IYER: Seattle's D the best ever in a Super Bowl
That certainly is what happened, and while the center and quarterback were not on the same page when the game started, they agreed on what happened to cause the play that will live on in blooper reels for decades.
"The first play was a cadence issue," Manning said. "We were using the snap count on the play, and due to the noise, no one could hear me. As I was walking up to the line of scrimmage to make a change to try and get us on the same page, the ball was snapped. ... It's nobody's fault, just a noise issue that really caused that play to happen."
It was an unusually loud crowd for a Super Bowl, and Broncos receiver Wes Welker admitted "we weren't prepared at the beginning." It certainly showed on that first play.
The safety was only the eighth in Super Bowl history, but it was the third straight year that one was scored. In Super Bowl XLVI, Tom Brady was called for intentional grounding in the end zone, and last year Baltimore Ravens punter Sam Koch intentionally took a safety late in the fourth quarter rather than risk a return that could have set up the San Francisco 49ers for the win.
The Broncos had been on the wrong end of a safety in the Super Bowl once before, when George Martin of the New York Giants sacked John Elway in the end zone in Super Bowl XXI at the Rose Bowl.
The Seahawks, cheered by the famous 12th Man, not only scored 12 seconds into the game, but also 12 seconds into the second half, on Percy Harvin's 87-yard kickoff return.
The MVP: Joe Montana. Emmitt Smith. Bart Starr. All Super Bowl Super Bowl MVPs. Add Malcolm Smith's name to the list of the Super Bowl's best all-time performers.
He won the new car, but more important, helped the Seattle Seahawks' defense dominate the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. Seattle won 43-8.
MORE: Super Bowl MVPs
Smith, only the eighth defensive player to ever win the Most Valuable Player award, intercepted a Peyton Manning pass and returned it 69 yards for a touchdown to give Seattle a 22-0 lead. If that weren't enough, he also recovered a fumble by Broncos' receiver Demaryius Thomas. That turnover resulted in yet another Seattle touchdown.
For the game, Smith accounted for nine tackles, including five solo tackles, and two passes defended. Teammate Kam Chancellor also had nine tackles. Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett brought pressure. Richard Sherman, who left the game in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury, along with Earl Thomas and the rest of the secondary, were smothering.
On a night of great performances, it was Smith who most stood out.
THE OTHER QB: Russell Wilson just matched Manning in Super Bowl rings, and he's got more than a dozen years on him to get this second.
Between how the Seahawks defense and Percy Harvin blew up and blew through the Broncos, Wilson somehow was the forgotten superstar of the Super Bowl. That was the case leading up to the game, too, with everything Manning.
The type of stellar performance Wilson turned in Sunday (18-of-25, 206 yards, 2 TDs, 3 rushes, 26 yards) has become ho-hum. Elite games with high efficiency are routine, enough to go unnoticed when the defense does all the talking.
The reality is, Wilson's advanced maturity and veteran sensibility set him up to lead the Seahawks to more rings. Tom Brady earned game MVP when he got his first ring, but that happened because New England's physical secondary (sound familiar?) got attention when the Patriots needed him more to get their next two.
Chalk this one up to Seattle's D. The next one will belong to Wilson.
UNIQUE NEW YORK: The game was the first in NFL history, regular season or playoffs, to end with a 43-8 score. ... The stadium in New Jersey might be different, but the result was similar -- the last time Manning trailed by 29 points in a game was the 2002 AFC wild card game against the New York Jets, a 41-0 loss for Manning's Indianapolis Colts. ... Manning moved past Tom Brady for the all-time lead in postseason passing yards, with 6,589 in his career.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC Scouting Report
Like San Jose, Vancouver Whitecaps FC enters Saturday's key Western Conference tilt on short rest. The 'Caps traveled to Commonwealth Stadium and posted a 2-0 victory over host FC Edmonton of the North American Soccer League in the first leg of their semifinal match-up in the 2012 Amway Canadian Championship on Wednesday. Vancouver goals came from Eric Hassli and Atiba Harris, both in the first half. The 'Caps sit in fourth-place in the West standings at 4-2-2 (14 pts.). In its most recent bit of league activity, Vancouver won in shutout fashion, 1-0, at Columbus on Saturday thanks to a 25-yard free-kick goal by South Korean defender Young-Pyo Lee in the 74th minute. With former Quakes goalkeeper Joe Cannon in the net, Vancouver is the third-best defensive side in MLS at the moment, allowing just 0.75 goals per game. The 'Caps have kept six clean sheets among their eight league matches thus far. The leading scorer for Whitecaps FC through eight weeks has been Frenchman Sebastien Le Toux with three goals. Brazilian Camilo has added a pair of strikes.
Of Note
-The San Jose Earthquakes (7-1-1, 22 pts.) enter the weekend alone atop the MLS Western Conference standings. Real Salt Lake (6-3-1, 19 pts.) is in second-place with one more game played than the Quakes. Third-place Seattle Sounders FC (5-1-1, 16 pts.) still has two games in hand over San Jose. The Quakes also now pace the MLS Supporters' Shield race over Eastern leader Sporting Kansas City (7-1-0, 21 pts.). While the Quakes visit Vancouver this Saturday (4 p.m. PT), Real Salt Lake hosts New England (6 p.m. PT), Seattle welcomes Philadelphia (1:30 p.m. PT, NBC SN) and Sporting KC entertains Montreal (5:30 p.m. PT).
-The San Jose Earthquakes take the longest current unbeaten streak in MLS to Vancouver this weekend. San Jose has gone a blistering 6-0-1 since its lone defeat of the year, 1-0 to Houston at AT&T Park on March 17. This is the Quakes' longest undefeated stretch since a nine-game run in 2008 from July 12-Sept. 13. San Jose was just 4-0-5 during that period, however, for 17 points out of 27, whereas they have collected 19 points from 21 during this current stretch. The Quakes last had this successful a seven-game period in 2005, in the middle of their club-record 14-game unbeaten streak (11-0-3). From Aug. 27-Oct. 1 that year, San Jose went an identical 6-0-1.
-At 7-1-1 and 22 points, this is the best nine-game start to a year in the San Jose Earthquakes' 15-season club history. In 2001 and 2003, the Quakes trotted out to a 5-2-2 start for 17 points. They were 5-3-1 (16 pts.) to open 2002 and 2010. With just nine goals conceded thus far, this is the franchise's best nine-game defensive start. San Jose allowed 10 goals over its first nine matches in 2001, 2002 and 2010. The Quakes' 20 goals scored is their best nine-game output ever. They tallied 18 goals through nine games in 1998, and 16 in 2004.
-At 3-0-1 for 10 points over their first four road dates, the Quakes are also off to their best four-game road start. They were 2-1-1 for seven points following their first four road forays in 2001, 2003 and 2010.
-Quakes forward Chris Wondolowski leads the Budweiser Golden Boot race with 10 goals. Thierry Henry of the New York Red Bulls is second with nine goals, but will miss Saturday's nationally-televised tilt at The Home Depot Center with the LA Galaxy through a hamstring injury suffered last weekend against the New England Revolution.
-Wondolowski takes to Vancouver the longest active streak in MLS of games with either a goal or an assist, currently at a career-best seven.
Earthquakes – Vancouver Whitecaps FC Connections
-Vancouver goalkeeper Joe Cannon played for San Jose from 1999-2002 and 2008-10. He also played under current Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop with the LA Galaxy in 2007. Cannon played his college soccer at Buck Shaw Stadium as a former All-American at Santa Clara University (1995-97). He grew up in Los Altos Hills and graduated in 2003 from Saint Francis High School in Mountain View, Calif.
-Yallop spent part of his youth in Vancouver from age 10-16, later earning 52 caps for the Canadian men's national team before serving as its head coach from 2004-06. Earthquakes assistant coach Mark Watson is a native of Vancouver.
-Earthquakes midfielder Shea Salinas, who will not be available on Saturday while still recovering from surgery to repair a fractured left clavicle, played for Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2011 after being selected by the club during the 2010 MLS Expansion Draft. Salinas was traded from Vancouver to San Jose on Nov. 30, 2011, in exchange for allocation money.
-Whitecaps FC midfielder John Thorrington was a teammate of Quakes players Jon Busch (2007-09) and Tim Ward (2009-10) with the Chicago Fire.
-San Jose defender Justin Morrow and Vancouver defender Greg Klazura were teammates at Notre Dame from 2007-09. San Jose midfielder Anthony Ampaipitakwong and Vancouver midfielder Michael Nanchoff were teammates at Akron for four years from 2007-10, leading the Zips to their first national championship in 2010. Ampaipitakwong also played with 'Caps rookie forward Darren Mattocks at Akron as a senior in 2010. Mattocks and Earthquakes midfielder Khari Stephenson are both Jamaican nationals.
-Earthquakes midfielder Sam Garza and Vancouver defender Michael Boxall played together at UC Santa Barbara during the 2010 season. Boxall and Earthquakes goalkeeper coach Jason Batty were both born in Auckland, New Zealand, and have represented their country at the senior international level.
-Earthquakes midfielder Simon Dawkins (Edgware) and Vancouver midfielder Matt Watson (Bromsgrove) are both natives of England.

Just weeks before a Virginia woman's wedding, UPS lost the dress of her dreams -- but it looks like this story now has a happy ending.
Elementary school teacher Mashaell Abedy couldn't believe her luck when she found a deeply discounted lace gown by her favorite bridal designer at a boutique in California.
U.S. & World
"I never imagined I would find a dress like this," she said. "I've been obsessed with this designer since I was an undergrad."
As soon as Abedy put on the Zuhair Murad gown, she started to cry.
The plan was for the boutique to make alterations and ship Abedy the gown. But it never arrived.
The online tracking for Abedy's dress showed it crisscrossed the country for nearly a month. It started out in California on Nov. 9, made its way to Virginia on Nov. 20 and then was declared lost. The record showed it then was shipped back to California, then to Maryland. Then, on Dec. 4, it was in Illinois.
Abedy estimates she spent two hours per day trying to track down the dress.
"I'd been getting the runaround," she said.
If UPS could find the dress in their Illinois facilities, she volunteered to fly out to get it herself.
"I'll go pick it up. I'll do your job for you," she said.
The good news is that Abedy got the $5,500 gown insured. The bad news is she said she can't find the same dress anywhere at this same sale price.
"I remain hopeful that I'll get it by my special day. We'll see," she said.
On Tuesday evening, after News4 called UPS, Abedy said she finally got the news she had been waiting for: she said a UPS manager apologized to her and said the dress would arrive in Virginia that night.
The manager promised to personally make sure the dress got to her as soon as possible and even offered to pay for any last-minute alterations.
On Wednesday morning, a UPS manager personally delivered the gown -- in a battered cardboard box -- to Abedy's parents' home in Fairfax.
Congratulations to the happy couple!

Pain Treatment in the Field: Good for Soldiers' Comfort and Better for Rebuilding Troop Strength - 12/17/2007
Pain Treatment in the Field: Good for Soldiers' Comfort and Better for Rebuilding Troop Strength
Release Date: December 17, 2007
Noncombat-related acute and recurrent chronic pain are the leading causes of soldier attrition in modern war, with the return-to-duty rate as low as 2 percent when these soldiers are treated outside the theaters of operation. However, that rate jumps to 95 percent when troops and officers are treated and managed for pain in the field of instead of being sent elsewhere for therapy, according to a new study from a Johns Hopkins anesthesiologist.
"The main factor seems to be rapid diagnosis and treatment of pain syndromes," says study co-author Colonel Steven Cohen, M.D., of the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
"Establishing pain treatment centers in combat areas gets care to soldiers fast and could dramatically increase the military's ability to maintain troop levels and succeed militarily in places like Iraq," says Cohen.
The report, appearing in the December issue of Anesthesiology, shows that 107 out of 113 soldiers suffering from noncombat-related pain were able to return to duty after being treated at the Ibna Sina Hospital in Baghdad between October 2005 and September 2006.
In contrast, a previous study by Cohen and colleagues showed that of 162 soldiers with similar kinds of pain evacuated from Iraq for treatment at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., or the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany between April 2003 and July 2004, only three returned to active duty.
Noncombat pain was defined in both studies as conditions resulting from such things as physical training, sports and accidents.
Among those patients treated in the field, sciatica (leg pain and/or tingling, numbness or weakness that travels from the low back through the buttock and down the large sciatic nerve in the back of the leg) accounted for 55.7 percent of the cases; noncardiac chest pain, 11.5 percent; arm pain from a herniated disc in the neck, 7.1 percent; groin pain, 7.1 percent; leg pain, 7.1 percent; low back pain without leg symptoms, 6.2 percent; arm pain unrelated to a herniated disc, 1.8 percent; and neck pain/headache, 1.8 percent. All of the patients were seen within 72 hours of their initial complaints by anesthesiologists who are pain specialists.
In the first study done in soldiers who were evacuated for treatment, the most common complaints were sciatica, low back pain, leg pain and arm pain. The majority of these cases did not receive definitive treatment until a few weeks after their initial complaints.
Treatments for both sets of patients were similar and included epidural steroid injections, trigger point injections, lumbar interarticular facet blocks, groin blocks, corticosteroid injections, as well as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, neuropathic pain drugs, muscle relaxants and opioids.
"Early intervention is almost always associated with better outcomes," says Cohen. "The longer a pain complaint goes untreated, the worse the prognosis."
Cohen says it is also more difficult to re-deploy soldiers once they are medically evacuated, for both logistical and psychological reasons. "Soldiers who stay with their units build on the strong ties with those units and wish to remain. Those bonds weaken when military personnel are stateside with their families, making theses soldiers even less amenable to returning to the field," he says.
Cohen co-authored the study with Major Ron L. White, M.D., an anesthesiologist at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Washington, D.C. White serves in the United States Army and Cohen is in the United States Army Reserve.
