The 11th annual Collinsville Quilt Walk will feature the history of families and more. Library Director Jennifer Wilkins points out unusual quilts which will be on display.
Her son, young Zackary Wilkins, is lending one of his prized possessions to the cause. It has his picture in the center. "My aunt made it for me. I was at a costume party. I decided to dress up as a cowboy," he said.
This year there is something new for doll lovers. It's a rag doll show, and the public can enter "heritage dolls." There is even a contest. Margaret Goldthreat's sister designed a line long ago. "She started making this line of dolls and she made them for 6 years," said Goldthreat.
Quilts are on display at several locations where you can see older homes and antiques.
And old friend of 'Bobby's Bama,' champion quilter Anne Barrett, showed us a 'double wedding ring.' "It's a copy of one that's in a museum in Vermont," she said.
Old Grove native Barrett said intricate designs take a while to make. "This one took about six months from the beginning to the end of the quilting process."
Donations from the quilt walk go to the library. "All the money that's raised from the quilt walk goes into our building fund, and it is the biggest fundraiser we have year after year," said Wilkins.
She said some of these designs were made in the 1800's. "Well you see some beautiful handiwork on the front but the back, some are made with feed sacks that still have the imprint from the feed company on them."
There is one section of the quilt walk that some people might describe as being "spooktackular". That's because it's in the town's original graveyard.
But Wilkins said there is no reason to be frightened. "I think they really fit in this cemetery, that was opened in 1877 and was used for about 20 years. It was the first official town cemetery as part of the Baptist church."
You can honestly say when it comes to quilt shows, this one is original.
"If you like antiques, you like old homes and you like award winning quilts you need to come see our show," declared Wilkins.
A must see in Bobby's Bama.

Tesis ACE co-crystal structure with ketone ACE inhibitor kAF
Human angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) has two homologous domains, the N and C domains, with differing substrate preferences. X-ray crystal structures of the C and N domains complexed with various inhibitors have allowed identification of active site residues that might be important for the molecular basis of this selectivity. However, it is unclear to what extent the different residues contribute to substrate domain selectivity. Here, cocrystal structures of human testis ACE, equivalent to the C domain, have been determined with two novel C domain-selective ketomethylene inhibitors, (5 S)-5-[( N-benzoyl)amino]-4-oxo-6-phenylhexanoyl- l-tryptophan (kAW) and (5 S)-5-[( N-benzoyl)amino]-4-oxo-6-phenylhexanoyl- l-phenylalanine (kAF). The ketone groups of both inhibitors bind to the zinc ion as a hydrated geminal diolate, demonstrating the ability of the active site to catalyze the formation of the transition state. Moreover, active site residues involved in inhibitor binding have been mutated to their N domain counterparts, and the effect of the mutations on inhibitor binding has been determined. The C domain selectivity of these inhibitors was found to result from interactions between bulky hydrophobic side chain moieties and C domain-specific residues F391, V518, E376, and V380 (numbering of testis ACE). Mutation of these residues decreased the affinity for the inhibitors 4-20-fold. T282, V379, E403, D453, and S516 did not contribute individually to C domain-selective inhibitor binding. Further domain-selective inhibitor design should focus on increasing both the affinity and selectivity of the side chain moieties.

[ACE_HUMAN] Genetic variations in ACE may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]; also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors.[1] Defects in ACE are a cause of renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) [MIM:267430]. RTD is an autosomal recessive severe disorder of renal tubular development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype).[2] Genetic variations in ACE are associated with susceptibility to microvascular complications of diabetes type 3 (MVCD3) [MIM:612624]. These are pathological conditions that develop in numerous tissues and organs as a consequence of diabetes mellitus. They include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy leading to end-stage renal disease, and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic retinopathy remains the major cause of new-onset blindness among diabetic adults. It is characterized by vascular permeability and increased tissue ischemia and angiogenesis. Defects in ACE are a cause of susceptibility to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) [MIM:614519]. A pathological condition characterized by bleeding into one or both cerebral hemispheres including the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex. It is often associated with hypertension and craniocerebral trauma. Intracerebral bleeding is a common cause of stroke.[3]
[ACE_HUMAN] Converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II by release of the terminal His-Leu, this results in an increase of the vasoconstrictor activity of angiotensin. Also able to inactivate bradykinin, a potent vasodilator. Has also a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety.

Luckily I read the other reviews so my expectations for the product were realistic. I also knew that, at this price point, I shouldn't expect a high quality unit. I needed something to sort toys in my kids room and this fit the bill perfectly. Putting it together was fairly self explanatory. There are no written instructions but the diagrams make it easy to figure out. I bought two units and out of all the holes that were supposed to line up only three didn't. A lot of the pieces were marked up but it was easily taken care of with a Magic Eraser. One of the units had a fairly big ding on it, but it was towards the back and can't easily be seen. If it was more obvious it could have been touched up with paint. I had both units built in under an hour and we moved them around quite a bit as we figured out where to put them and they stood up well (just make sure to lift them from the base). My biggest complaint is the stickers that are used to cover the screw holes. They're completely useless and make the unit look really cheap. I'd recommend spending a couple of dollars and buying plastic covers that you can find at any hardware store. They make a big difference. If you're expecting a well made solid wood piece to last for generations this is not for you. If you're looking for something practical, that serves a purpose and looks better than a bunch of plastic bins, I would definitely recommend this.
I was looking for just the right toy bin for my son's new room design. I saw this one and it looked perfect. It was low enough to not block his mural, but wide enough to hold plenty of his favorite toys. The top surface is the perfect spot for his lamp. I bought it in white with the hopes that I could paint it to match his Batman color scheme. I did and it looks terrific. I definitely recommend this item, and I'm considering buying a second for the playroom. Plus, I was able to assemble it on my own in less than 30 minutes. All you need is phillips head screwdriver.
I bought 2 of these for toy storage in my children's bedroom. They are holding up very well after several months. We put pillows on top to make them also serve as a window seat, and the children all use it for sitting to read and for playing. Very happy with these storage units.
Don't like the little stickers that cover the screw holes. After putting the kids stuff in the cubbies it looks cluttered.
3 bin cubby has two moving pieces in the middle, so be careful during assembly. One of my center pieces fell which cause the end to splinter. You can't tell when it is fully assembled. For the money, this cubby is great.
I bought two so I could have room to store my homegrown items. It is a very nice piece and is very roomy.
We desperately needed some storage solutions for our toddler's array of cars, books, balls and whatnot. The bin is everything that I expected. It has deep cubbies that can hold a lot and are accessible for my little one to get what he would like to play with. We put some baskets on top to hold smaller items like art supplies. Some of the framing of of the bin was split but my husband used a little wood glue to reinforce it and the splitting was on the bottom of the cabinet, so you really don't see it. It was easy to put together and can be completed by one person, but it goes a little quicker and smoother if there are two people putting it together. All in all it was a very good purchase and is exactly what we needed.
I ordered this for the guinnea pig cage to sit on. The cubbies are perfect for holding food, wood shaving etc. I had been looking for something for months and finally found this at a great price!!

I can remember sitting in trigonometry class in high school, thinking, "When am I ever going to use this?" But in fact, many construction problems can be solved by using basic math.
One of my recent projects, for example, featured a curved wall that needed crown molding. While made-to-order flexible crown is an option, in this case the match wasn't perfect, and I needed only about 2 feet to finish the wall.
Not wanting to waste 10 feet of expensive custom crown (the minimum order was 12 feet), I decided to cut straight sections of crown into wedge-shaped segments and glue them together to form an arc that would fit the curved corner.
First, I needed to determine the radius of the arc (or corner). With a long straightedge placed along each wall, I drew extension lines on the ceiling and measured the length from the starting point of the arc to the intersection point of the extension lines (see "Determining the Corner Radius," ). Then I measured the distance from the intersection point of the extension lines to the corner.
With the help of Pythagoras' very useful theorem (c2=a2+b2) and a little bit of geometry, I used these measurements to determine the arc's chord length (x) and rise (y), which I needed for calculating the arc's 9.47-inch radius.
Once I knew the radius of the arc formed by my curved corner, I could determine the exact size and shape of the wedge-shaped segments of crown molding. Each crown segment would need to be angled on each side to form the arc; the shorter the segments were, the more "rounded" the faceted crown would appear to be. I decided a workable length for each segment would be 3/4 inch each (as measured from short point to short point on the back of the crown).
To determine the cut angle for the sides of the crown segments, I drew another right triangle, with 9.47 (the length of the arc's radius) representing the side adjacent to the central angle and half the length of the 3/4-inch-long crown segment representing the side opposite that angle (see "Cutting the Crown Segments,").
Then I used the tangent function to find the angle, which I looked up in the trigonometry table in my handy Pocket Ref (by Thomas J. Glover; Sequoia Publishing), a great reference guide I found at my local hardware store. This angle measured a little over 2 degrees.
To make a section of curved crown for a rounded outside corner at the intersection of two perpendicular walls, the author first had to figure out the exact radius of the wall plane. He projected the 90-degree outside corner onto the ceiling, then used math to calculate the radius.
After calculating the curved wall's 9 1/2-inch radius, the author turned his attention to the crown segments, which he decided to make 3/4 inch long at the base. He used trigonometry to find the proper miter angles, then cut the segments to length and fastened them together with glue and brads.
Now it was time to make some sawdust. When cutting standard crown on a miter saw, the crown is always cut upside-down and backward, so I measured the 3/4-inch length of each segment along the base of the crown. I made the first (left-hand) cut and marked the crown's length, then reset my saw for the right-hand cut.
After fastening the glued-up length of curved crown in place, the author installs the remaining sections of straight crown and applies a paintable filler.
A vigorous hand sanding helps fair the filler and individual crown wedges.
Giving the trim a smooth curve.
Once all the segments were cut out, I applied glue and fastened them together piece by piece, using 1-inch brads in my nailer. After the glue set up, I fastened the curved section of crown to the wall and finished installing the adjacent pieces of crown.
By using a paintable filler, MH Ready Patch (Zinsser Co., 732/469-8100, www.zinsser.com), and giving everything a good sanding, I was able to make the crown curving around the corner look as if it were carved from one piece (see photos, left).
The project took about 2 hours from start to finish.

The Cardinals have modified their warm-up T-shirts in Ware's honor — they now read "Ri5e to the Occasion," with Ware's No. 5 on the back. He had a seat at the end of the bench, his right leg propped up on towels, and every one of the starters went to shake his hand after being introduced.
But whether it was the roller-coaster of the last week, the expectations or just Wichita State, the Cardinals seemed out of sorts much of the night. Wayne Blackshear and Gorgui Dieng went scoreless, and Siva was just 1-of-9.
StorylinesLouisville trails by 12 with 13:35 to go, but forces the Shockers into seven turnovers in the last seven minutes.

"There's a reason our starters played poorly, because Wichita State is that good," Pitino said
Wichita State may not have the names or pedigree of a Louisville, Syracuse or Michigan. But what the Shockers lacked in star power they more than made up for in hustle and heart. This, after all, was a team with one player (Carl Hall) who salvaged his career after working in a light bulb factory and two more (Armstead and Ron Baker) who paid their own ways in their first years.
The Shockers barely seemed to notice that vaunted Louisville press until the final minutes of the game. They didn't rush shots, working it around until they got a look they liked — Louisville was called for more than one foul late in the shot clock, including one on Smith with only a second left — and they were relentless on the backboards.
And that "play angry" defense? Now the Cardinals have an idea of how their opponents have felt. Wichita State bottled Louisville up inside, never letting Gorgui Dieng be a factor, and the Cardinals were continually forced to put up awkward and bad shots from outside.
"We were kind of waiting to make our run," Hancock said. "Obviously you're a little concerned when you're down by 12 in the second half. We just had to turn up our intensity, maybe gamble a little more."
Louisville was struggling so badly that Ware actually got out of his seat at one point, hobbling over to the Louisville huddle.
"He just wanted to tell us that we needed to pick it up," Siva said. "We know how much it would mean for him to be out there. He just tried to give us whatever we needed, the extra motivation, the extra boost to get over the hump. That's what he did."
The Shockers have had trouble hanging onto leads, and this game was no different. After Henderson's 3s, the Cardinals were off and running, all the way to the last game of the season.
"Coach Pitino kept telling us to go out there and have fun and keep playing and we were going to win. Stop hanging our heads," Siva said.
"That's what we did."

Immediate and subsequent effects of response blocking on self-injurious behavior.
Date: August 2006
Creator: Atcheson, Katy
Description: Abstract In many institutional settings, blocking, response restriction (e.g., restraint, protective equipment), and re-direction procedures are used extensively as intervention for self-injurious behavior (SIB) and other forms of problem behavior. In the current study, a three component, multiple-schedule analysis was used to examine the immediate and subsequent effects of blocking on SIB that persisted in the absence of social reinforcement contingencies. During the first and third components the participant was in the room, alone, with no social consequences for SIB. During the second component (response restriction) the therapist sat in the room with the participant and blocked occurrences of SIB. Results indicated that, although blocking was effective in decreasing SIB while it was being implemented, subsequent effects were idiosyncratic across participants. Evidence of increased levels of SIB following blocking was observed for some participants.

Correspondence between verbal behavior about reinforcers and performance under schedules of reinforcement.
Date: August 2006
Creator: Bekker-Pace, Ruthie
Description: Important advancements have been made in the identification of reinforcers over the past decade. The use of preference assessments has become a systematic way to identify preferred events that may function as reinforcers for an individual's behavior. Typically, preference assessments require participants to select stimuli through verbal surveys or engagement with stimuli as preferred or non-preferred. Not all studies go on to directly test the effects of the preferred stimuli, and even fewer studies directly test for the effects of the non- preferred stimuli. The present study systematically identified preferred and non-preferred stimuli in adult human subjects by verbal report and then proceeded to test the effects of both verbally reported preferred and non preferred events on single and concurrent schedules of reinforcement. The results are discussed in terms of contemporary concerns regarding preference and reinforcer assessments.

Comparison of client attendance, attrition, and outcomes in 2 class system packages.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Berends, Valori
Description: Using the principles of systems analysis as a guide, this study compared two class schedule formats used by Behavior Management and Parenting Services (BMAPS) in order to address the following research questions: 1) What effects do 2 different class formats have on student attrition and appointment keeping? 2) What effects do 2 different class formats have on student outcomes on a pre and posttest assessment? 3) What effects do 2 different class formats have on staff procedures? BMAPS provides parent education to individuals referred by Child Protective Services. The current research included approximately 200 referred clients with an appointment or class scheduled with BMAPS between January 1, 2006 and September 22, 2007. Data was collected by reviewing client files for class attendance and performance records. Results of this study allow BMAPS to enlist the class format that is correlated with better attrition rates and client outcomes.

The Effects of Interspersed Trials and Density of Reinforcement on Accuracy, Looking Away, and Self-injurious Behavior of a Child with Autism
Date: May 2000
Creator: Ybarra, Rita
Description: This research examines the effects of task interspersal and density of reinforcement on several behaviors of an autistic 6-year-old boy during the performance of a visual matching task and two auditory matching tasks. Experiment 1 investigated the effects of interspersing high and low accuracy tasks on correct matching responses, positions of matching responses, looking away, and self-injurious behavior (SIB). The effects of interspersed trials were evaluated using an ABAB multiple treatments design. Results indicated that interspersed trials produced slightly more correct responses during the visual matching task; however, correct responses decreased during the other two tasks. The use of interspersed trials also decreased looking away from the stimuli and SIB. Experiment 2 evaluated the effects of reinforcement density apart from task interspersal. Two conditions, reinforce-corrects-only and reinforce-all-responses, were compared in Experiment 2. Correct responses increased slightly for all three tasks during the reinforce-all-responses condition. Looking away and SIB were very infrequent throughout Experiment 2.

The effects of alternative contingencies on instruction following.
Date: May 2003
Creator: Patti, Nicole
Description: The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of alternative contingencies on instruction following by an ABA design. Three college students consistently pressed keys 1-5-3 and 4-8-6 in the presence of the written instruction "Press 153" or "Press 486." During condition A, the contingencies for following and not following the instruction were the same: CON FR5 FR5 and CON FR20 FR20. During condition B, the contingencies for following and not following the instruction were different: CON FR20 FR5. For one participant, the schedule of reinforcement was then changed to FR30. The results showed that subjects followed instructions when the schedule of reinforcement was the same for instruction following and not following.

Topographical analysis of reinforcement produced variability: Generalizations across settings and contingencies.
Date: August 2007
Creator: Gomez, Francisco
Description: This study evaluated the effects of programming a variability contingency on one object and the generalization of variability across other objects and contingencies when the defining features of the variable responses were topographical differences. A dog's interactions with five different objects were measured under both ANY (where any physical contact with the object would be reinforced on a fixed ratio schedule) and the VAR contingencies (where only the novel responses per trial would be reinforced). The ANY contingency produced stereotyped responding of behavior with all objects. When one of the dog-object interactions was changed to the VAR contingency, a marked decrease in stereotypic behavior and an increase in novel responses in the form of topographical combinations were observed across both contingencies.

Increasing activities and interests in a child dually diagnosed with PDD-NOS and DS.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Zeug, Nicole M.
Description: Expanding interests may be a behavioral cusp, resulting in widespread changes across skills, and therefore is particularly relevant in intervention programs for children with autism. Little research has addressed directly increasing the diversity of activities and interests for this population. This study describes a program developed to increase activities and interests in a girl dually-diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD-NOS) and Downs syndrome (DS). A multiple-baseline design across stimuli was employed to evaluate the program. The results show that the program increased number of total and different toy interactions. No effects were observed for overall duration of toy interactions. Results are discussed in relation to play skill instruction and preference assessment literature, the cusp, and autism intervention programs.

Choices in Reinforcer Delivery
Date: August 2008
Creator: Law, Sarah Ann
Description: The current study consisted of two experiments, both of which were comparisons of choice conditions replicated across four participants. Four typically-developing pre-school children participated in this study. Experiment 1 evaluated participants' preference for choosing consequent stimuli prior to engaging in academic tasks (pre-session choice) versus choosing consequent stimuli each time criterion for reinforcement had been met within the session (within-session choice). In Experiment 2, preference for choice-making was evaluated when outcomes for both choice and no-choice conditions were identical. For two participants, results indicated strong preference for choice-making.

Developing a function-based treatment for problem behavior using a structured descriptive assessment.
Date: August 2007
Creator: Harris, Curtis Joe
Description: This study evaluated the utility of structured descriptive assessment (SDA) to generate a hypothesis regarding the operant function of problem behavior when the analogue functional analysis (FA) failed to evoke problem behavior for an adult with developmental disabilities. The effectiveness of interventions based on that hypothesis was evaluated in the natural environment. The SDA succeeded in producing a relatively controlled baseline of problem behavior where the FA and direct observation could not. However, the extent to which treatment procedures affected problem behavior could not be determined due to confounding variables outside the control of the experimenter. The results provide cautionary evidence highlighting both the potential utility of SDA and challenges that may be encountered when conducting SDA and evaluating treatments in natural environments.

Toward a systematic evaluation of evaluating favorable conditions in a parent training program: The pursuit of happiness.
Date: August 2007
Creator: Broome, Jessica L.
Description: Research has shown that parents of children with disabilities, such as autism, experience significantly higher stress levels than parents of typically developing children. It has been suggested that parent education programs, in particular naturalistic communication training, will reduce parental stress. Most of the literature in this area has relied on parental reports and has only focused on decreasing stress and has not directly addressed increasing alternate feelings, such as happiness. In different but related areas of behavior analysis, an emphasis has been placed on the importance of happiness as a quality of life indicator and that the development of multileveled assessment is sorely needed. This study was designed to analyze one set of measures within a data-based intervention program for parents of toddlers with autism. The Family Connections Project (FCP) is a parent training project designed to enhance the quality of relationships for families who have toddlers with autism. Within this project parents are taught to identify and arrange opportunities to interact with their children in ways that will increase motivation and social responsivity. This study looked at the collateral effects of this training program and investigated if FCP affected the relationship between parents and their toddlers; of particular interest ...

Gah i hate SOPA >< anyway morning everyone
Your welcome :)
oh ok thank you so much
The Sopa and Pipa issue is something about copyright infringement. If you noticed, google has a black box over it to protest against it. Supposedly, Sopa and Pipa are trying to get rid of websites that lead to other information that is copyrighted, such as google, wikipedia, and other websites. So Google and other websites are protesting against Sopa and Pipa and saying that they aren't using the copyrighted information for profit.
thought i'd make this.
Melissa Clarke. <3 I don't think everything has really hit me yet. I can't imagine you not being here. Such a beautiful creation gone. Thank god for giving you to us. You were really one of a kind. I`ve never met a sweeter person in my entire life. You'd never do anything to hurt anybody. You didn't deserve to go. Not yet, not like that. But God has his plan for us all and now you're in a better place now. You're not completely gone, you'll always have a place in my heart. Our little cheerleader, our crazy dinosaur. I can't keep you out of my mind. Today in school, you're all I thought about. It doesn't feel right without your smiling face. God bless and hopefully I'll see you again. Rest in peace, beautiful. Forever in my heart. <3 ---- sorry, I just needed to let all of that go somehow. thanks everyone for the support. love you all. <3
This is probably the wrong place to ask but i am completly sorry but im all confused with the pipa and the sopa issue has anyone heard anything about it? and if you want me to take this comment down i will gladly

Tibet Travel Guide
Tibet Updates
- Tibet re opened to travelers in April 2013
- Planning a Tibet tour
- A Tibet permit is required
- Best time to visit is from May to October
- Respect local customs and traditions
- Avoid any political issues
- Entry from Chengdu, Beijing, Xi'an
Tibet, isolated on the remote Himalayan Plateau, is every traveler's dream. It draws millions of travelers each year to explore its old Tibetan culture, and pure, untouched scenery. Tibetan Festival Dates in 2014
Highlights of Tibet
Tibet's Cultural Heritage
There are so many Buddhist buildings in Tibet due to Tibetans' strong culture of faith. The oldest and most popular ones include Jokhang Temple, the Potala Palace, Sera Monastery, and Samye Monastery.
The Fantastic Natural Scenery
See turquoise, crystal-like lakes, glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and grasslands.
The Tibetan People
Walk through Lhasa's streets or take a cup of tea at a local tea house to see and meet these hardy and devout, traditionally feudal people.
How to Tour Tibet?
Three Popular Ways to Enter Tibet
The Xining to Lhasa and Chongqing to Lhasa train trips are very popular. Tickets are very hard to buy especially in peak season from May to October. Train trips from other cities are not recommended as it is quite a long journey (around 40 hours).
There are direct flights from China's major cities to Lhasa, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Chongqing. However, the most frequent and reliable flights to Tibet are from Chengdu. So Chengdu is the best gateway city for Tibet. See Chengdu Flights.
Other way is to enter Tibet from Nepal. To take this trip, you need to obtain a China visa and Tibet permit in Nepal. See our popular Nepal-Tibet tours. China Highlights can help our customers to obtain a China visa and Tibet permit in Nepal.
Your Time in Tibet
Most travelers only stay in Lhasa, capital of Tibet. The most important reason is the altitude is relatively low, 3,700 meters above sea level, which is among the lowest areas in the region. The fitness requirement for sightseeing in Lhasa is low and facilities are good.
Four days is enough to cover the highlights of Lhasa. The variety of attractions in Lhasa is quite limited, almost all religious/historic sites. If you want to dig deeper into local culture, ask your guide to take you to a local tea house and take a cup of tea among the locals. See our best selling 4-day Lhasa tour.
Lhasa's nearby lakes: If you want to explore the austere beauty of the region, go to Lake Namtso or Lake Yamdrok. One day is enough to have a trip from Lhasa to either, but the altitude for both trips is significantly higher: 4,500 meters for Lake Yamdrok, and about 5,000 meters for Lake Namco. Guard against altitude sickness if making the trip. See our 5-day Lhasa to Lake Namtso trip
Another popular travel route is combining Lhasa and Shigatse. This is a scenic trip including Yamdrok Lake and grasslands, snow-capped mountains, gorges and glaciers. You need to top a mountain pass of 5,300 meters on the way. The trip to can be extended to Mt. Everest Base Camp or ever Nepal. See our 6-day Lhasa to Shigatse Scenic Trip.
Preparing to Go…
The most suitable time to visit Tibet is from May to October. The weather is uncomfortably cold to dangerously frigid otherwise. Read details on Tibet weather
Be prepared for altitude sickness. If you are not sure you can cope with the high altitude, limit your sightseeing to Lhasa.
Tibet is a politically sensitive region, which may be close to foreign travelers at times. Book as soon as possible if notified it is open; otherwise you may have to wait a long time for the next reopening.
Travelers need to go through a travel agent like China Highlights to get a Tibet Entry Permit. Tourists are permitted to book their own accommodation and flight/train tickets, however tours of Tibet must be organized by and accompanied by an authorized travel agency.
Peruse our Tibet tours and contact us if you have any questions or the tour you are looking for is not there. Our tours can be customized to your requirements during the inquiry phase. Click Inquire below and begin your Tibetan adventure.

New Urban Ministry House
New Urban Ministry House was created near downtown South Bend. Five upperclassmen find a place where they can live out Christ-like service and love.
According to the "official" mission statement, The Urban Ministry House is a community of believers committed to be Jesus to "the least amongst us" in the local community (Matt. 25:21-46). This year at Bethel (actually on Calvert Street) five upperclassmen have started a community house where they live and serve the South Bend community.
"We look at it as an opportunity to minister intensely, sincerely, and accessibly," says senior, Ty Grant. All the original residents, Tony Wiltse, Sam Palombo, Derek Griffey, Tyler Grant, and Calvin Walterhouse, are either juniors or seniors who wanted a greater opportunity for service than normally available while living on campus. After helping out in past years with South Bend's Catholic Worker and building relationships with the cities homeless and forgotten, the students wanted to do something more.
Wiltse noted, "We wanted to have real neighbors and know real people." Derek Griffey added, "We want to be a light in a dark place, and go beyond service and actually do something." So they moved into a house off campus in South Bend. All the students have a full time academic schedule at Bethel and also participate in building the community around the house. Ty Grant notices that, "The community (of brothers) makes it easier to live like Christ, with encouragement, service, and accountability." While growth is happening inside their four walls, they definitely want to have an impact on their neighbors in the area.
"We want to love the people like Jesus would wherever there is the opportunity and to keep our eyes open," explains Calvin Walterhouse. Each member of the house plays a part in the goal.
"We understand that getting to know people is a long process," says Tony Wiltse, "but we want to become friends with the neighbors so that we can better fill their needs." Members of the house see it as "relational-resource" or a "place of refuge."
"We want the people to be comfortable with us and ask things of us and rely on the house," says Sam Palombo.
Derek Griffey calls it "a place for people who are blessed to serve people who have needs." They have already had a block party for 25 of the neighbors, and use every chance they get to start building relationships. The house already has a good reputation; Derek Griffey says that the lady next door tells others, "They are the nice boys that help us fix things."
This house began as an idea. Sophomore Matt Molcjan, who moved into the house this semester gives a simple and clear explanation for his passion for the community house: "As I have read the Bible, Jesus pressed this upon my heart day after day: love your neighbors." It just starts with an idea and an opportunity, and for these men, they are right where they are supposed to be.

Recipe: Cocoa Molasses Toffee
Old-fashioned candies, sweet and strong, are our favorites. Toffee, caramels, divinity - they all show up in our Christmas packages. Here's a new favorite with an old flavor: molasses. These are strong little candies with a heady molasses kick that tastes of burnt-sweet and sour dark sugar syrup. We added a pinch of salt and a dash of cocoa to round out the flavor.
We love how these appear hard at first - teeth crackers! - but soften into taffy as they warm in the mouth. And the best thing? If you have a candy thermometer these are so easy.
Cocoa Molasses Toffee
about 150 pieces, depending on the size you cut them
1 cup molasses
3 cups sugar
2 cups whipping cream
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
Line a 9x13" jelly-roll sheet pan (with sides) with heavy duty foil and butter generously.
Heat the molasses and sugar over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let it boil without stirring for about 8 minutes, or until the sugar caramelizes. This is tricky, because you can't see the color turning - the molasses is already so dark. Use a candy or deep-fry thermometer and pull it off the heat when the sugar starts to smoke or hits 350 degrees F.
Meanwhile, warm the cream over medium heat until hot but not boiling. When the sugar caramelizes, whisk in the cream and butter. Return to low heat and bring to a simmer. Clip your candy thermometer on the side of the pan and watch the temperature. You will need to boil this, relatively unsupervised, for about 45 minutes to an hour. When it hits 250 degrees F (the lower end of the hardball stage) remove from heat and immediately whisk in the cocoa and salt. Pour into the buttered pan.
When it has cooled for a couple hours, score into 1-inch pieces with a knife. Then cover lightly and put in the fridge.
After it has cooled all night, break into the scored pieces with a knife - this may take some work! Wrap in parchment paper. These can be stored almost indefinitely at room temperature.

These look so good! Thanks for the recipe.
Just wanted to say that I tried these out this weekend. They are great! I was afraid that they'd be too sticky, but they're perfect...now I just have to start wrapping....
I'm making these right now. Can't wait to see how they turn out!
These are great. Totally delicious.
Faith, they really are awesome! :)
I made these last night and had some trouble with them. I couldn't tell when the sugar had caramelized. First I saw a lighter streak (kind of caramel-colored) while stirring. Then I let it cook longer because it wasn't close to 350 and eventually I saw darker streaks form. The sugar wasn't smoking, but it was bubbling and poufs of steam came out of the bubbles. It was only up around 250 at that point but it had been cooking for more than 8 minutes (prob around 10 or 12) so I took it off the heat.
Then as it was cooking the second time, the mixture kept bubbling up to the top of the saucepan. The recipe said to leave unattended, but I kept having to pull it off the heat and stir it down so it wouldn't bubble over. I got that one up close to 250 at the end, off by maybe a few degrees.
The result is that my toffee is too soft. I pulled it out to cut it up this morning and it was melting and sticking to my hands. Does anyone know at what point this problem might have been caused? Thanks so much for any help...
I tried these today, and I think that mine are too heavy on the "burnt" and not heavy enough on the "sweet". The sugar had definitely started to smoke when I pulled it off. Did I wait too long? Or are they really supposed to be that heavy on the "burnt" taste?
I made this toffee along with the Ginger Cinnamon Caramels and they both turned out nicely. The Cocoa Molasses Toffee smelled alarmingly burnt while it was cooking and the next day it was not thick at all, but pasty and too gooey to do anything with. I scraped it back into a pot and boiled it to the hard ball stage and it seems fine, now. It is rather hard, but once it's in your mouth it goes soft. For anyone making it, I recommend scoring it VERY WELL before it goes solid. I had a time breaking it into pieces, many of them look more like shards than respectable chunks of toffee. I wonder if anyone has a hint or two for getting this stuff into pieces easily.
I made this following the directions, but on the first boil I'd been going for more than 8 minutes (more like 12) and the temp was only around 280 when the sugar started to smoke; the entire batch tasted very burned even though I immediately took it off the burner when I saw smoke.
Today I re-made it and it's delicious. I simmered for only eight minutes even though the temperature was only around 265 and that did the trick.

Spokesman for Indian PM Cites Work of Dr. Prakash
Professor Nishith Prakash, Economics and Human Rights, research on "The Returns to English Language Skills in India" was recently cited by Dr. Sanjaya Baru at The Business Standard on 15th August, 2011 (this day also happens to be the
Independence Day for India).
Dr. Sanjaya Baru is the Editor of a leading financial newspaper in India, The Business Standard. From May 2004 until August 2008 he was the Official Spokesman and Media Advisor to the Prime Minister of India. Prior to his official appointment, he was the Chief Editor of The Financial Express. He has also been the Associate Editor of The Economic Times and The Times of India. He is one of India's most respected and influential commentators on political and economic issues.
Dr Sanjaya Baru has been a Professor at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations in New Delhi, and a Member of India's National Security Advisory Board in the Prime Minister's Office. He is the author of Strategic Consequences of India's Economic Performance, which was launched in the UK at the IISS in April 2007, and The Political Economy of Indian Sugar (1990). He has also published extensively on economic and strategic policy in India and abroad.
In this research work, Professor Prakash with his co-authors (Professor Chin at University of Houston and Dr. Azam at The World Bank) find that being fluent in English (compared to not speaking any English) increases hourly wages of men by 34%, which is as much as the return to completing secondary school and half as much as the return to completing a Bachelor's degree. Being able to speak a little English significantly increases male hourly wages 13%. They find considerable heterogeneity in returns to English. More experienced and more educated workers receive higher returns to English. The complementarity between English skills and education appears to have strengthened over time. Only the more educated among young workers earn a premium for English skill, whereas older workers across all education groups do.

What is the most important thing you've learned on your own?
In three sentences, explain something that you've learned without being told by another person -- something you've figured out all by yourself. Here's an example:
"I learned how to paint with water colors by reading a book and searching for YouTube videos. It took me a while, but I figured out some techniques that really work for me. I'm not an expert yet, but I have discovered a real joy in painting."
It can be anything -- a practical skill (like painting) or a knowledge set (like how to use mathematics).

amacker bMar 3 2013: I'm cheating (I've learned you don't have to follow rules just because they are "rules"...heh) so i'm giving another example of what important things I've learned... and that is
You* have the power to be happy. To stop worrying. To not be depressed.
That power is a magical switch you possess that you either haven't realized yet or you FORGET when you are stressed or anxious or depressed.
It is related to another thing i firmly believe: you make your own destiny.
If you KNOW you can flip that switch and DECIDE to not be depressed, REALIZE you don't have to be, and MAKE IT SO (for me, it's being creative - making something, or helping someone else, etc) you can become that which you wish to be.
As for worry - i make it a point never to waste time worrying about something i can't change by worrying. If the situation requires action, ACT. If the situation requires patience and waiting for something else to occur, then for godsakes don't fret. Get on with your happy busy life!
*unless you're chemically or clinically depressed or something, which i honestly don't have the answers for, but I would at least attempt "my" solution because it couldn't do you any harm, right?

I started in Triathlon industry over 5 years ago and I continue to grow my love for the sport. I have raced every distance from Sprints to Ironman Races. I consistently place in the top of my age group through dedicated training and using a postitive mental attitude. As my passion grew through the years I knew I wanted to help others discover the improvements that triathlon can bring to their lives.
I started coaching over 3 years ago and continually enjoy and thrive in coaching athletes and watch them discover the passion I found for the sport. I find the greatest joy in watching the beginners experience the thrill of crossing their first finish line and then watching their growth as they make their way to the longer distance races. I believe in helping athletes improve their limiters, strengthen their skills and help them gain the confidence they need to meet and exceed their personal goals. For me, coaching athletes not only involves improving their swim, bike and run techniques but also teaching them that having a positive mindset can take them far in a race and in their personal lives.

International Studies
Why pursue International Studies? We live in an interdependent world. Daily
headlines, national policies, and regional economics are shaped by people all around the globe. World forces affect our academic choices, career opportunities, and shopping lists--even the water we drink and the air we breathe. As more businesses and organizations expand globally, we as individuals are going global too, surfing the Web and e-mailing across the seas to pursue our personal and professional goals. Following this trend, International Studies provides a context for studying social and natural sciences, business and commerce, the humanities, fine arts, and foreign languages within a global context.
International Studies provides an interdisciplinary program designed to give students specialized and general global knowledge, second language skills, and significant international experience. Each student will complete the core courses, select a second language, and study abroad or complete an internship (as approved by the Director of the Center for International Education).

Microsoft Windows Basics
These Microsoft Windows basics help any user to learn more about the software bundle.
See the Windows?
Windows is a ubiquitous and constantly evolving, user-driven operating system. With many versions to choose from offering diverse user experiences and options, there is definitely a Windows operating system that fits the needs of every computer user, developer, and gamer.
Given the generalized nature of Windows operating system, there are also many benefits of using them. Most notably, this includes compatibility with most programs and a highly intuitive as well as easy-to-use Graphic User Interface. This makes it arguably the best set of operating systems on the market.
Windows also comes with many provisions to increase security for home computers, professional/organizational computers, and web browsing. From wireless connection protection to user-level access control, Windows operating system users can customize their security options for the best possible fit as well as the most possible security. This is even further guaranteed with updates that are released frequently to ensure that security is up to date.
This isn't to say that steps shouldn't be taken by users in order to verify that the utmost security is maintained. This includes avoiding open source and torrent programs, performing frequent virus scans, accepting Windows updates and keeping Windows Updater active, limiting access to resources, and turning off unneeded services.
Security Issues?
Encryption on Windows operating systems is now easy with BitLocker software, which currently comes free with Vista or Windows 7. Alternately, for older operating systems, there is a simple process one can follow in order to manually encrypt and decrypt files and folders.
Microsoft provides a wide breadth of support of its operating systems. A simple visit to the Microsoft website will result in an offering of many options for problem solving and technical assistance, to include automated online clients that fix many problems automatically and links to updates for software and drivers.
Although debugging Windows programs may require knowledge of programming language, users can also use a preinstalled debugger called WinDbg. By following ten easy steps, users can attach this debugger to an active program and thus, debug that program. There are also a series of tools offered on the Microsoft website to help with software and services debugging for various Windows operating systems.

KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) - Martin Smith scored 25 points and Josh Williams added 22 as Lipscomb held on for a 76-73 win over Kennesaw State on Sunday.
Leading most of the game, Lipscomb (12-14, 7-8 Atlantic Sun) saw its 11-point advantage vanish in the final minutes as Kennesaw closed in with a 10-2 run that included six free throws and a 3-pointer from Nigel Pruitt. The Bisons protected their lead with a trio of free throws and hung on for the win.
J.C. Hampton contributed 16 points for Lipscomb, which hit 23 of 50 from the field and has won seven straight against Kennesaw (5-22, 2-12). Williams, who was 7 of 15 from the floor, also had nine rebounds and six assists.
Kennesaw was led by Delbert Love, who had 21 points and six rebounds. Pruitt finished with 16 points and Myles Hamilton had 10.
