What an experience! Our guide and driver took us all over Delhi and showed us so much. We saw temples from all faiths, wandered the streets of Delhi to the spice market where we bought incredible teas and spices, stood at the top of the Ugrasen stepwell, sampled the cycle and motorised tuk tuks which were hugely amusing and finished with Gandhi's home which was very moving. Such a fantastic day, we absolutely loved it and we loved Delhi, the traffic is a revelation!

We could not attend the changing of the guard owing to security restrictions before the Republic Day Parade but went to The National Museum in its place. That museum is absolutely wonderful and is close to central New Delhi. We also attended The National Rail Museum as planned in the morning and had a marvellous time there which included a trip in a quaint toy train around the fascinating old railway engines and carriages - many were classic very large steam engines - many beautifully dressed and well behaved school children were on the little train. The rail museum is a must for children to visit! There is also an indoor museum, which is beautifully set up, and also a fascinating souvenir shop with everything a child or a railways buff could ever wish for and purchase. Our guide was wonderful.

Viator is an AWESOME site to book through. Could not recommend any more highly. Everything went very smoothly, they had a driver arrive 30 minutes ahead of schedule just to make sure things went well. They coordinated with my hotel. Took excellent care of me--bottled water in the car, able to stop and get tea/a snack whenever, customized the tour to what I wanted. But the best part are the GUIDES. Truly wonderful. Very knowledgable, totally professional and just great people. I was traveling in India for the first time, by myself, and for me this was a great fit. For large groups this would also be great. Plus, seeing the Taj Mahal early in the morning before the crowds get there is more than worth it.

I truly enjoyed the bike tour of Old Delhi with Tenzin and his team from Delhi by Bike, on a tour I took in late August 2016. Tenzin takes the tour to places a typical tourist might not find or be aware of, including climbing stairs to roof tops for cool views of the neighborhoods of Old Delhi. Biking through the narrow walkways and enjoying the sights and sounds and the array of people within Old Delhi was amazing. We enjoyed milk tea and a traditional Indian breakfast on two different stops. I experienced the trip with a very friendly German family, which made the ride even more pleasant sharing the outing and many sights with them. Tenzin and his team keep a close look out for the riders, and make sure everyone is kept safe and taken care of. If you want a little adventure through Old Delhi, then take this bike tour I highly recommend it!!! I opted for hotel pick-up and return, which is well worth the added cost. This bike tour was my last excursion after a 30 day adventure through India, and just prior to catching a flight to U.S.A. later that same day, so it was a nice way to get some outdoor activity before taking a long plane ride home. Thank you Tenzin and team for making my last tour such a unique and memorable experience and thanks for forwarding the photos too!. I booked the trip through Viator, which is a very convenient, fast, and simple way to book.

Thank you very much to Amit and his wonderful team for a memorable Golden Triangle Tour! It was very comprehensive, so many amazing historical places in so short a time, insightful, interesting, and fun! Hotels were elegant and comfortable, guides were knowledgeable, helpful, protective and funny, and itinerary covered everything we wanted to see! Nikhil, our escort, was very kind, patient and accommodating and Ashok, our driver, drove us safely around and even found the watch I lost during the trip! Amit monitored our tour the whole time and made sure everything was OK. Thanks again Amit and team! We had great, unforgettable and hassle-free tour!

Absolutely loved this tour. My guide, Padam, was very friendly and informative. I really enjoyed all the stories he had to share. My driver, Sunil, was an absolute pleasure. This was a great team and I highly recommend this day to trip to anyone who wants to visit Agra. The only thing that can be improved in this tour is having a better place for lunch as the food was only average in the place we went to.

My very first visit to the Taj Mahal was not something I wanted to leave to chance. Your first view of this heaven on earth should be facilitated by a team of professionals who know how to make travel dreams come true.
Fortunately, I booked a private day tour through Kaimur Holidays. My wonderful driver Ramesh arrived promptly at my hotel in a comfortable, immaculate, very well air-conditioned car crucial as this was the hottest June on record in the plains of North Central India!. The new highway from Delhi to Agra makes the journey a pleasant two and a half hours with comfortable rest stops along the way.
Once in Agra, I had the pleasure to meet my guide, Sameer. Sameer holds a graduate diploma in history and his knowledge of Agra and the Mughal Emperors was outstanding. I should mention that I am a retired professor with a PhD in history, so I feel that my commendation of Sameer's qualifications does carry some weight! He is not only an expert in history- Sameer is also very personable, patient, good humored, speaks impeccable English, and is an excellent conversationalist.
I was so delighted with the services of Sameer, Ramesh, and Kaimur Holidays that I am booking a private tour through Rajasthan with the exact same team in August. I cannot wait!

Doing what: Private Agra Day Tour Including the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort from Delhi
What a great trip!! Our driver met us at our hotel in New Delhi and was ready to go at the time requested. Nice comfortable van with bottled water. We received a nice driving tour of various temples in New Delhi with a description for each. Along the way we were offered rest stops and breaks if needed.
We were joined by our tour guide Mr. Sanjay in Agra. Our first stop was to the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah / sometimes called the Baby Tāj. What a great intro to Agra.
We proceeded to the Taj Mahal and Mr. Sanjay was simply fantastic, handling every detail from tickets to water to entry into the Taj Mahal. Our personal tour was complete with a full history description, photos and finally time alone to soak up the grandeur of the Taj Mahal.
We opted for high tea at the Gateway Hotel. It was simply fantastic with wonderful service.. Tea, coffee plus an assortment of sandwiches, samosas, fruit bread and chutneys. We chose to eat inside but a quick tour of the Sky Deck revealed a superb view of the Taj Mahal and Agra.
We declined to take the tour of the Red Fort we were to exhausted and returned to New Delhi. Upon returning to our hotel we received beautiful gifts from our driver as a memento of the day. What a fantastic journey. Take this tour, you wont regret it.

the drivers were prompt and professional. They both made sure we were safely escorted to the trains and waited with us until we were on the train and departed. Our tour guide Saed was very pleasant and professional and gave us lots of historical information. We ended up not visiting the Sikri due to the far distance and instead saw 2 other monuments that were closer to the Taj. All in all it was a wonderful experience. Grateful to have seen the Taj first thing in the morning, as the crowds that came would have hampered our experience.

Went to the Taj Mahal yesterday and it was a really great trip. As soon as I booked the trip through Viator, my tour guide Anjum immediately was in contact with me for preparation, details, and questions for the trip. I was a solo female traveler from New York and he made sure I was safe throughout the trip and prepared me for what was going to happen before it happened being that the environment in India is very different from the US... VERY. He speaks English very well, highly educated on Agra (Taj mahal and the area around it) and knew all the perfect photo spots! I didn and #39;t even have to ask to take a picture, he just knew when and helped me get the best touristy pictures you could want. I highly recommend him if you need a tour guide. My Chaffeur Ashok was also a pleasant and safe driver being that India traffic is crazy and it was a long trip to Agra from Delhi. Pit stops for tea, snack , and restrooms were no problem. Overall great, memorable, safe trip!

Thanks you so much Viator team for choosing good local partner to provide world class STD services..
Doing what: Private Taj Mahal and Agra Fort Tour from New Delhi with Lunch
This was great! Though the main draw is Zangoora (which I hear is fantastic), I saw Jhumroo, the lighthearted story of a goofy regular guy who aims to be a professional singer to win the girl, instead. The onstage tech was incredible. Because the panels for the backdrops were placed at varying distances from the audience, they created a feeling of depth; and because they were also digital displays, it allowed the production team to feature animated backgrounds and/or simulate motion (the hang glider number was definitely a highlight). The cast know how to have fun and involve the audience at various times during the performance (we are actually part of the cast!). The songs are infectiously catchy, the humor slapstick and sometimes over the top (in a good way!), and the story easy to understand, even if you don't understand Hindi (you will be provided with foreign language audio headsets). Culture Gully is a dining and shopping area adjacent to the theater that provides specialties from various regions of India.

What a great trip. Suiki Spelling? was a brilliant guide. Took us to interesting places and explained everything really well. We experienced street food the most amazing sticky dessert and then had lunch in a little side street café where we were the only Europeans. Topped off our lunch with street chai tea. We went to the Sikh temple and helped make chapattis for lunch. I am not sure our skill level was up to standard but they were still cooked with the others! Finished our trip with a rickshaw ride and a walk back to our hotel. All in all a fantastic time and an excellent guide. Fully recommend this trip.

We had so much fun in Agra. Our driver Manoj Kumar and tour guide Hussein were very helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend these two guys as they will ensure your trip to Agra is safe and fun. Kudos to Viator for having these two guys in your team!

The trip was all that we had hoped. Our driver, Ravi Sharma, particularly, was important to the trip's success. He not only navigated in such a way that we felt safe at all time, he answered our questions on many topics about India and helped us find particular stores that we wanted to visit to buy organic teas, sandalwood soap,and books about the history of India. Our guides in each city were helpful. The hotels were excellent.
Doing what: 6-Day Private Golden Triangle Tour: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Mandawa
If you want an excellent sampling of Indian culture, history, and architecture, then this is the perfect tour for you. My husband and I had an amazing experience in India during Dec. 2014, thanks to Viator. Everything was perfectly organized from stepping out of the airport till the end of the tour, when we opted for a lift to our "post-tour" Delhi hotel rather than a lift to the airport. I have rarely gone on multi-day tours (usually opt to go it alone or take a 1/2 day tour, etc.); however, going to India felt a bit overwhelming because of all of the accommodation options, transportation concerns (never drive there!), and limited time. I had used Viator in the past for a couple different day tours (once to the chateaux country and another around Milan) and always liked what they had arranged; this multi-day package was even better. Accommodations were top-notch and allowed for decent down-time after a busy day of sight-seeing; tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and "tweaked" activities or sites to suit our needs. "Hari" in Delhi, Mueen in Agra, and Hitesh were excellent, yet slightly different in style; this kept 3 days of intensive exposure to history and architecture interesting and fresh. The hero of the trip was our driver, "Gerwil", an extremely talented young man who can drive like no other. Because he escorted us throughout the whole tour, we got to chat with him a bit; he was punctual, professional, looking out for our best interests, and calm no matter the road conditions. The pace of the tour was quick, as it should be with so much to see in so few days. There was one issue that arose because our tour was over the Christmas holiday; Viator graciously worked things out with the company in India, and it was resolved before we even left home. Excellent customer service! We have already talked about returning to Jaipur or perhaps venturing to Kerala on another trip: We hope by then Viator will have multi-day tours there as well! Thank you.
Doing what: 4-Night Private Golden Triangle Tour: Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur
I took this tour at a recommendation of a local friend. Turn out to be one of the best tours I have ever done.
My guide, Sabyasachi picked me up at my hotel which happens to be near where he stays. Our tour starts with the subway. I had a great time discussing political and cultural issues in Delhi in the train with him. Sabya is smart, fluent in English and aware of current issues.
In Chandni Chowk we visited a Hindu temple where he explained the various different deities, festivals and practices. We went on to a Gurudwara next, again Sabya was well aware of the practices explaining the customs as we went along. We also managed to see the huge soup kitchen run the Gurudwara and I even tried my hand in making roti! We visited Jama Mosque which was awe inspiring. Being a Muslim, I was not aware that such a magnificent mosque exist in Delhi and is one of the world's biggest! It even housed some of the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) artifacts. Sabya was able to point out to me the architectural significance of the mosque and its history.
I think one of the best parts of the tour was being able to sample the street food, samosas, rotis and marsala chai. We also have many interactions with the local vendors. I loved going through the narrow streets looking at fabrics, meeting locals, learn about spices and tea. The rickshaw ride through the area was quite the highlight for me. One of the best experiences of my travels.
I wanted to say thanks to Sabya and Tushar who made my India trip so wonderful. Sabya was commendable as a guide, personable, insightful and very respectful to everyone we met. I really value this experience as I know I would not be able to do it on my own. I felt that I learnt so much so thank you for a wonderful time and for sharing your beautiful India with me.

We enjoyed the tour, all the guides and drivers were excellent. My suggestion is instead of the train trip at night when we could not see anything from the train. Stay somewhere perhaps Orcha and come back to Delhi by train on the friday through the day. This would not change your costing and would be more relaxed and your clients would enjoy the train trip much more.

I was a single woman traveler, it was my first visit to Delhi. This tour was a great introduction to the city's shopping alleys. I got to ride the subway, eat samosas from a food stall as well as eat at a popular local open air restaurant - so, go on this tour hungry. The Sikh Temple was great. The people very friendly. We stopped by the spice market and I purchased spices and tea. I had a really good time and most of all, I feel comfortable enough now to go again to Old Delhi by myself. And I didn't get Delhi Belly.

Our excursion in Delhi has been one of the best experiences I've booked through Viator. If you, like me, do not believe in "bubble travel" where you go from the airport to a luxury hotel to an air-conditioned car, this is the activity for you. It doesn't come more authentic than this!
Our guide Anupam fetched us at the hotel and from there the journey on the various transport modes in Delhi started. The metro is clean and orderly and in a better state than many European cities I've been to. Everywhere we went people offered smiles and curious looks. The tuc-tuc ride is also an experience through the hectic traffic and millions of people. We however felt perfectly safe in the capable hands of our guide and followed him like baby ducks.
We were greeted at Mumtaz's home with flower garlands and a red dot on our foreheads to bade us welcome and we felt right at home in her delightful little blue kitchen. Ingredients were explained and then the cooking began. Everything we ate was a flavour explosion from the spicy chai tea to the golden dahl and the paneer curry. We each had a turn to try our hand at making chapattis and had a good giggle at our less than perfect efforts.
We ended off the evening with Mumtaz painting our hands with wonderful henna art. The people of India are hospitable, friendly and interested in diversity.
All in all a magical experience.
Doing what: Delhi Cultural Experience: Cook and Eat with a Local Family
Overall a very good experience. Driver was on time, car was better than expected, transfers to and from hotel were good, and the guide was knowledgeable. We opted to see 2 of the 3 sites Agra Fort and Gardens on the first day instead of the second day, so our second day was short with only the Taj Mahal. For a hurried traveller, the whole Agra experience can really be done in a single day. It is certainly worth a visit to Agra, and this excursion was very helpful and hassle-free. As with every travel service in India we experienced, there was a strong desire to sell additional services and go to markets to buy specialty items.
Doing what: 2-Day Private Agra Taj Mahal Tour from Delhi by Car
My experience was quite similar to most of the reviewers on here--the pick up and drop off at the hotel was easy and pleasant. The driver stopped at a small store on the way to Agra for a quick drink/snack/bathroom break which was quite nice and yes, have small change Rupees to tip just about everyone you interact with during the tour. The Taj was fantastic and my guide was quite knowledgeable about the history behind the sites and also gave me tips for surviving all the street vendors. Towards the end of the tour he did try to suggest a stop to see the marble cutting and carpets but thankfully he took my refusal well as I had been warned by previous reviewers not to go! Thank you! My driver tried twice more on the way home to get me to stop somewhere. I am glad the tour started so early--it took less than 30 min to get out of Delhi at 5 am and more than an hour and a half to get back at 4 pm! I did not give the tour five stars because at the end of it, like with other reviewers, my guide told me I owed him money for the battery car rides and the shoe covers at the baby Taj. As this was supposed to be an all-inclusive tour except tips, I thought that was inappropriate, especially since this tour is on the expensive side. I paid him instead of squabbling over 220 rupees 3.27 but still. It either includes all transportation or it doesn't in which case that should be stated in the tour plan that way people participating in it are not caught off guard. I felt quite safe during the whole tour and was glad to be wrapping up at 11:30 in Agra as the day was quite hot and humid by then!

Barry - The Brown Bullant!
This shot is best viewed Large!
Hi everybody! This is my new friend Barry - The Brown Bullant. A.K.A. Myrmecia Pyriformis
Although he's not on the best angle in this particular shot, his body measures in at a very healthy 28mm, or 1.1 inches long!
To cut a long story short, I first met Barry running [rather quickly] across my kitchen floor, so I carefully scooped him up into an old tupperware container - which has become his new temporary home - until I finally had a chance to take him outside and try taking some photos of him.
Unfortunately he's a very fiesty little fellow, so I've been finding it hard to get any decent pictures of him. This is my first attempt - so the results aren't brilliant - but they're not a bad start. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get some better photos sometime soon!
For more information about Barry and his family, you can have a look at this page!

Elena was a fantastic tour guide. Fortunately, my boyfriend and I were the only people on the tour that day so we got a lot of undivided attention. We definitely felt like we'd gotten the special treatment!
Elena met us, on time, at our designated pick-up spot and quickly whisked us off toward Pienza. We stopped at a little village along the way for a cup of coffee she refused to let us pay and a bit of sightseeing. From there we headed to a farm for lunch one of our favorite locations/experiences of our entire two weeks in Italy and then into Pienza proper. What a beautiful town! Elena walked us through the town, giving us great historic information, and then allowed us to wander leisurely for the rest of our time there.
On our way to Montepulciano, Elena was kind enough to pull over, allowing me to capture some of the breathtaking landscape with my camera. Once we arrived in Montepulciano she again walked with us to give us historical insight, but then gave us time to take in the town at our own pace.
Upon our return to Siena she was kind enough to drop us off closer to our apartment rather than the designated drop off point which was so appreciated after a long day of touring.
Do not miss these two towns when you're in Tuscany - and this Viator tour was the perfect way for us to experience them! We never felt rushed and we probably wouldn't have seen half of the wonderful sights we were shown had we driven there on our own.

An excellent tour led by a guide Elena? who was personable, knowledgeable, energetic, and passionate about the places she took us. The areas we visited were beautiful and interesting, and the tour was easily the best among the ones we took during our three weeks in Italy. Loved the fact that the tour was small, too, and we had a chance to interact with the guide, who seemed happy to answer every question she was asked.

It will be well remembered and talked bout in our household. Thanks Viator!

This was an all day tour and with 6 people all up. Tour guide was very quiet and difficult to hear at times when travelling in bus. In general a good day but need to be more informative. At the stops we were left to do our own thing and left us with little understanding of the places.

The New York TimesIn keeping with his father's original vision, Laurent de Brunhoff, who has been writing and illustrating Babar stories for 50 years now, injects the book with humor that's based on the incongruity of elephants living a cosmopolitan life. In the original story by Jean de Brunhoff, Babar is freshly arrived from the ''great forest'' and longs for smart clothes such as gentlemen wear. Attired in spats and suit, he becomes a raconteur and pastry connoisseur, driving around in a red two-seater convertible. Emily Jenkins
Babar's Museum of Artby Laurent de Brunhoff, Laurent de Brunhoff, Ellen Weiss
Author Bio: Laurent de Brunhoff has kept the spirit of Babar alive for more than 50 years. Building upon his father's original framework, Laurent has gone on to create more than 30 books about Babar that have made both his and his character's name recognized and beloved around the world.
Editorial Reviews
Publishers Weekly - Publishers WeeklyIn this whimsical, wry caper, Celeste and Babar decide to transform the abandoned Celesteville train station into a museum displaying the objets d'art they've collected on their travels. Preparing the building is a collaborative effort-the town's energetic elephants help rebuild the station, transport the paintings to the new gallery and hang them on the walls. But the piece de resistance is the museum's opening day, when Babar's family and friends feast their eyes on a witty recasting of almost three dozen classic paintings and sculptures in which pachyderms take the place of human figures. Almost-touching elephant trunks replace fingers in a reimagining of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam and an elephant with golden tresses springs from the half-shell in a rendition of Botticelli's Birth of Venus. The museum-goers share their thoughts on what they like about the works of art and the ways in which they identify with the subjects (young Arthur chooses a Van Gogh self-portrait: "I like this picture because it's red"). With his gentle artistic makeovers and by predominantly keeping the focus on the younger elephants' questions, de Brunhoff skillfully allows young readers an entree to the world of fine art. Babar offers some wise words when Alexander and Flora ask him if paintings in a museum have to be old or pretty: "It doesn't have to be or mean anything.... There are no rules to tell us what art is." Adding to the value of this impressive volume is a large, handsomely reproduced pull-out poster featuring nine of the "masterpieces" from the book, framed in gold leaf. A visual treat all around. All ages. (Sept.) FYI: An exhibition of the book's original art will travel to the Art Institute of Chicago, the New York Public Library and to additional cities to be announced.

Children's LiteratureQueen Celeste and King Babar are taking a balloon ride over Celesteville one day when the queen notices the old railroad station standing abandoned and unused by the lake. She then comes up with the wonderful idea of turning the attractive building into a museum of art. Thus the Celesteville Museum of Art (closed on Mondays) comes into being. Celeste and Babar have a big collection of paintings and sculptures that they have collected on their travels, and now all the elephants in the kingdom can come and look at the beautiful pieces themselves. At the opening of the museum, Pom, Alexander, Flora, Arthur, Isabelle, and Zephir go to look at the art works. They have never been to a museum before and don't know what to expect or what to do there. And this is where this wonderful book is such a great tool for children. It helps to show young children what an art museum is like and how paintings can tell a story. It also shows them how the elephant children in the book see different things than the grown-ups do. Cornelius, the old and wise elephant, knows a great deal about the paintings and what they mean. He can tell the children these meanings if they want to hear about them, but the elephant children learn that one doesn't have to know the deeper meanings of a painting to appreciate it. Also they learn that a painting doesn't have to be old or pretty to be considered art. As Babar says "There are no rules to tell us what art is." What this book does for children is to open up their horizons and give them a freedom in how they look at art and also, one hopes, how they create their own art. The adult reader of this book will delight in the author's interpretation of great art works. Laurentde Brunhoff turned many familiar paintings and other pieces of art into elephant works of art. Vincent Van Gogh's "Self Portrait" has an elephant head and the "Little Dancer" made by Degas acquires a trunk, large ears and hefty legs. All is all this is a delightful book for readers of all ages. 2003, Harry N. Abrams, Ages 4 up.

School Library Journal - School Library JournalK-Gr 3-With the help of an architect and friends, Babar and Celeste decide to establish a museum in the old Celesteville train station and donate their extensive art collection. Readers follow along as de Brunhoff's lighthearted offering touches on how such institutions might be created, how to behave in a museum, and art appreciation. Celeste's most valuable instructions for small children: "look, don't touch, and tell me what you see" precedes Babar's timely reminder, "there are no rules to tell us what art is." The Celesteville museum exhibits echo noted artworks from Rubens to Cezanne, Whistler to Pollock, as more than 30 major works (imitated with pachyderm subjects) fill the pages. Consider this an introduction to museums for the youngest readers, especially for Babar fans. Older students will find entertaining comparisons to classic art collections. For a closer pairing with masterworks, share Jacqueline Weitzman's You Can't Take a Balloon into the Metropolitan Museum (Dial, 1998). A fine choice for all libraries.-Mary Elam, Forman Elementary School, Plano, TX Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
Kirkus ReviewsThat venerable elephant returns in another classically plotless but curiously appealing outing, this time to the new art museum of Celesteville (modeled on the Mus�e d'Orsay). Babar and the gang spend the day gazing at the vast art collection he has amassed and now made available to all: works by the Old-and New-Masters that substitute elephants for the familiar human figures. In this, it bears a superficial resemblance to Anthony Browne's Willy's Pictures (2000), but where that work invited the audience into the paintings and encouraged individual reflection, this serves a more pedagogical end. Wise Celeste invites the children to respond to the art-"I like the dog!" Flora exclaims of an elephantized van Eyck-while pompous Cornelius attempts to expound upon symbolism and goes ignored. As a primer for both parents and children on how to manage a family visit to an art museum, it cheerily offers both good and bad examples to follow and avoid; as a deeper invitation to encounter art, it barely serves as an introduction.

TGIF everyone, here's my Top 5 for June 11, 2010 from Len Berman at www.ThatsSports.com
1. Quick Hits
- The Celtics even their NBA Finals series with the Lakers at 2 games apiece after winning last night in Boston, 96-89.
- World Cup soccer begins today in South Africa. U.S.A. vs. England is tomorrow at 2:30 pm Eastern.
- It's parade day in Chicago for the Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks.
- Mets Pitcher Jonathon Niese throws a one-hitter against San Diego. It's the 23rd one-hitter in Mets History. Still no no-nos.
- LeBron James has another suitor, the Harlem Globetrotters. They can offer him part-ownership, NBA teams can't. Hey, Wilt Chamberlain was a Globie.
- Will the last team that deserts the Big 12, turn out the lights? Colorado is heading to the Pac-10, Nebraska is supposedly heading to the Big Ten.
2. Backies
Hey, now that USC is being stripped of its 2004 National Championship, if you bet on Oklahoma in the 2005 Orange Bowl, no problem. Just call your bookie and ask for your money back. Tell him I said it's OK.
3. @#$%^^&*!
There's a Brazilian ref for tomorrow's World Cup game between the U.S. and England. He has warned that he brushed up on his English curse words so he knows when he's being abused. Just curious if that includes Pig Latin? Also, just to clarify things, to quote Ellen DeGeneres in the movie Edtv, "is asshole one word or two?"
4. Friday eMailbag
As for Mets pitcher Oliver Perez collecting tons of dough on the disabled list, wink wink, I.L. messaged me at Facebook, "Len Berman's Top 5, "The Mets need a rosterectomy to remove that $36 million troublesome tumor." Editor's Note: Very nice, a rosterectomy. Does that hurt?
Another Mets fan, F.C. has another pitching rhyme for us. "First Takahashi then comes Igarashi. That is when you reach for the sake." Editor's Note: I still like "Spahn and Sain then pray for rain."
When I wrote about the New York Liberty advertising Foxwoods on its jerseys, a competitor of the Connecticut Sun who play at Mohegan Sun, I suggested I was waiting for the Viagra/Cialis showdown. J.B. wrote, "that, my friend, would be some stiff competition."
Editor's Note: You've got a point, so to speak.
5. Spanning the World
Here's my Spanning the World highlight of the week. It's a recent minor league baseball game between Bakersfield and Visalia. I don't think I've ever seen a home run trot result in a brawl and suspensions.
Since everything has a name these days, I just don't know what to call this. A walk off brawl? A brawl off homer?
Have a nice weekend everyone.
Happy Birthday: Joe Cool. Quarterback Joe Montana. 54.
Bonus Birthday: Actor Gene Wilder. 77.
Today in Sports: After returning to golf following a near fatal car accident, Ben Hogan wins the U.S. Open. 1950.
Bonus Event: The movie E.T. makes its debut raking in over $100-million in the first month. 1982.

Our room was on the third floor and we didn't receive any internet access through the WiFi. We talked about this problem with the staff and all they kept saying was: it's because everyone is inside and the WiFi is very occupied. Even after they rebooted it, it still didn't work. They didn't seem willing to do anything about it. The free parking is actually free parking on the streets. Note that there are markets taking place on Tuesday and Saturday. The room was very clean.

The pathogenesis of lung ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) has historically been characterized by the recruitment and extravasation of neutrophils. However, more recent studies have suggested a role for natural killer T-cells (NKT) in the pathogenesis of this injury. Agonists of the anti-inflammatory Gs-coupled adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) have been shown to inhibit the activity of most inflammatory cells, and extensive preclinical evidence exists for their use in prevention of acute ischemia reperfusion. Importantly, IRI is a significant risk factor for the development of chronic allograft rejection, bronchiolitis obliterans (BO). Evidence supports alloimmune-dependent and alloimmune-independent factors in the etiology BO. More recently activation of A2ARs on lymphocytes and antigen presenting cells have been shown to attenuate the alloimmune response. Additionally A2AR stimulation and upregulation on lymphocytes promotes peripheral tolerance by inducing T-cell anergy. Currently little is known about the role of A2AR agonists in lung transplant rejection. Our overall hypothesis is that A2AR signaling is critical in modulating the innate and adaptive immune responses relevant to the pathogenesis of BO.
Aim 1 : Will determine, using an in-vivo lung IRI model, if A2AR signaling specifically on NKT cells confers protection from lung IRI.
Aim 2 : Will determine, using a non-revascularized heterotopic tracheal model and genetically modified mice strains, the importance and cellular mechanisms of A2AR signaling in the pathogenesis of BO.
Aim 3 : Will determine if A2AR signaling can be used to promote the development of a tolerant state. Also addressed will be ways to effectively introduce A2AR agonists with standard immunosuppression regimens. This grant encompasses a training program for the PI which includes coursework plus frequent interactions with mentors and advisors. With the guidance of the candidate's advisory committee and the institutional support provided by the University of Virginia's Department of Surgery, the candidate will development the skills required to evolve into an independent investigator.
BO remains the major hurdle to long-term survival in lung transplant recipients. There currently are no uniformly consistent strategies to prevent/treat BO. IRI is a significant risk factor for BO. Given the anti- inflammatory and immunomodulating effects of A2ARs, strategies utilizing A2AR agonists may be uniquely suited to prevent both the alloimmune-independent and alloimmune-dependent factors involved in BO.

Well since Chris isn't talking.....
A few things that come to mine is does he have enough time to do this?
how long till up and running? Can we contribute enough till then?
I see scripts to write, web pages to add and redesign to accomidate
these links... and then there is the 'selling' it to nurseries and
actually getting paid for it. Lotsa bookeeping and PR work to get them
to do this.
It sounds great, but the set up sounds like a lota work... especially if
those advertising only stay for a couple on months and decide to not do
it anymore....
As an end used, it would be awesome tho!

As am I. It is my understanding that it is something larger than donations.
A reliable permanent higher income to ensure the costs are covered....is
that it?? Something that would raise the hort.net to a higher level and get
out publicity at the same time???
I, too, like the idea of listing nurseries on the gallery for each plant.
Nothing worse than falling in love with a plant on the net and not having a
good source for it. Having to hunt it down, etc. Nursery would pay a fee for
this advertising. However, since Chris has a nursery of his own, that might
be a bit of competition and defeating the purpose.
Please clarify Chris......

It's with a mixture of amazement, amusement, and sometimes sadness that I listen to yoga teachers and students discuss anatomy in the context of asana practice. Sometimes I'm amazed and impressed by a teacher's understanding of anatomy and movement, and by his or her ability to describe it in clear and engaging terms that highlight the students' experience in the pose. Sometimes an anatomical description is enough off course to make a laugh-out-loud image. And sometimes it's just plain sad that we, as teachers, are squandering a learning opportunity for our students by disseminating erroneous information, when we could be helping them deepen their understanding of not only the yoga poses but also their own bodies.
4 Common Mistakes Yoga Teachers Make Describing Anatomy (And How to Avoid Them)
1. Using Names of Anatomical Terms and Names of Injuries Interchangeably
Often when teachers make an anatomy mistake while describing a yoga pose in class, they're simply repeating a common misunderstanding. Some of my favorites include body-part names that have become synonymous with injuries. These include using "rotator cuff," which is a group of four muscles that help move and stabilize the ball in the socket of the shoulder joint, to mean a rotator cuff tear. Or "TMJ," which is the temporomandibular (jaw) joint, to mean a TMJ problem or injury. So I may have someone approach me to report that "I have TMJ" or "I have rotator cuff," and I have to stifle the temptation to say, "Oh really? I have two of them."
2. Misusing Anatomical Terminology Describing Movement
Other common mistakes I hear teachers make involve the incorrect use of terms to describe movement. There is actually a fairly simple, straightforward system that anatomists and kinesiologists use to describe human movement and joint positions. However, most people need to invest some time and practice in order to learn it and use the descriptive words correctly. In yoga teaching, the word "extension" seems to cause the most problems, as teachers want to use the word to describe opening, lengthening, and uncompressing a body part. In anatomy, the word describes precise movements and positions. For example, shoulder extension occurs when the arms reach back behind you, as in Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand): the shoulders are flexed when the arms stretch up overhead. Hip extension occurs when the thigh is in line with the torso, as opposed to the thigh angling forward, as happens when we sit in chairs. In a spinal extension the spine arches, as in a backbend. So if you ask me (or other medical professionals) to extend my spine while standing in Tadasana (Mountain Pose), I will lean backward into a backbend, risking compression in my lower back, which is probably the opposite of the intended uncompressing of the spine.

3. Assuming Your Students Can Identify A Body Part
Another common category of confusion for students is the location of frequently referenced body parts, including muscles, joints, and bones. In general, deeper structures such as the psoas and piriformis muscles and the kidneys tend to be the most mysterious, but students can even be stumped by more superficial structures like the sacroiliac joints, the scapula, and the trapezius muscle. As I mentioned in my last column, 3 Tips for Teaching Anatomy to Yoga Students, it's always a good idea to have your students find the structures in their own bodies before you give instructions about how to position or move them. Otherwise your students may try hard to comply with your instructions but really have no idea what you're talking about.
4. Giving Instructions That Are Not Anatomically Possible
Probably my biggest concern has to do with teachers asking students to perform actions that a muscle can't do, or can't do in that position. To me, that sets up a disconnect between the verbal, cerebral understanding of the action/position and what is actually happening in the body—in effect, the student learns that they can't trust their own experience. For example, I've heard a teacher ask students to "Relax your neck" in sideways standing poses such as Utthita Trikonasana (Extended Triangle Pose) and Utthita Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle Pose). In those poses, practiced to the right, the left neck muscles are actually contracting to hold up the weight of the head against the pull of gravity. If the neck muscles relaxed, the head would hang down. While we do want a long neck (maximum distance between the ears and shoulder blades on both sides), the neck muscles are not truly relaxing. Other interesting but, sadly, not physically possible instructions I've heard are: Move the psoas to the right or left; relax your abdominals (but don't allow the lower back to over arch away from the floor) in Urdhva Prasarita Padasana (Leg Lifts); and release and relax your serratus anterior muscles as you stretch your arms overhead. One of the most unfortunate instructions involves asking tight students, whose fingers don't touch the floor as they hang down, to relax their hamstrings in Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend). With no support from the arms, the hamstrings are actually contracting to support the torso and prevent falling to the floor. For these students, who desperately need to learn to relax and lengthen their hams, they are learning from their teacher's words that "stretching" is actually contracting. Ideally, as yoga teachers, we can use language to help our students deepen the connection between body and mind, ears and muscles, as teachers and students alike grow toward wholeness. Sometimes, that growth requires a bit of study by teachers to improve the clarity and accuracy of our instructions.

These injuries don't surprise me, especially Meryl. She is extremely thin and a lot of the moves she does look to be very jarring on the body.

Avaya Disaggregates Its Networking Operating System
The company is enabling its OS to run on white-box systems, joining such other established vendors as Dell and HPE in the open networking space.Avaya is making its network operating system available on third-party industry-standard hardware, making the company the latest vendor in the expanding open networking space. The company is aiming the move at managed service providers, cloud service providers, systems integrators and data center hosting companies, enabling them the put their brand on Avaya's network OS and run it on their systems. According to Avaya officials, making the operating system available to run on standard systems is the first phase of a larger rollout of a networking disaggregation model that is being designed for high-density data centers that need such platforms as 64-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet or 32-port 100GbE. Avaya is working on the model and building out an ecosystem of partners through its membership in the Facebook-led Open Compute Project (OCP). Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Juniper Networks are among the networking vendors embracing the open networking concept. Enterprises and service providers are increasingly demanding greater agility, programmability and affordability in their networking environments. A growing number of smaller vendors, such as Midokura, Pica8 and Big Switch Networks, offer network OSes and other software that can run on low-cost, industry-standard white-box systems built by original design manufacturers (ODMs), providing the flexibility often found with hyperscale players like Google and Facebook.
In response to the white-box networking push, Dell, HPE and Juniper are offering what Gartner analysts call "brite box" alternatives—branded systems that can run third-party software and come with services and support from the top-tier vendors. In addition, Dell earlier this year introduced Operating System 10 (OS10), which can run on other vendors' hardware, and Juniper two months earlier unveiled a disaggregated version of its Junos networking OS.

When Adam Oates was introduced as the new Capitals head coach in 2012, the press conference was held in the basement of the Verizon Center. The arena's interview room is a dingy space that brings to mind a Soviet office building. That was fitting for Oates's tenure. On a hot Tuesday afternoon in May, Washington introduced the replacement administration. This time, they chose a more auspicious location. After being served a buffet of tilapia and oatmeal raisin cookies, media members sat down in nice padded chairs in the Acela Club to listen to Ted Leonsis, Dick Patrick, Barry Trotz, and Brian MacLellan talk about the future. I'll have more on that later, but for now, here are my photos of the presser.

Monday morning, George McPhee said goodbye to an organization he's known for 17 years.
He was charming, not bitter, during his 34-minute press conference at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. Canned on Saturday, McPhee deflected blame toward himself, refusing to discuss individual performances.
"Should I start by saying fire away or is that the wrong terminology?" McPhee joked as he walked up to the podium. "I felt it was coming, but in this job, you're 24 hours away from being fired almost any time."

Today was a weird day. I've run into George McPhee many times, both as a tiny Caps fan and as an adult blogger. I really like him. And I loved Adam Oates as a player.
But, obviously, the Washington Capitals needed a change – the trade requests and the revolving door of coaches suggested serious dysfunction in the organization. Today, majority owner Ted Leonsis and team president Dick Patrick hit the reset button, firing GMGM and Oates.
While some readers are openly celebrating the firings (which I totally get), this is also a painful moment for the people involved– most notably Leonsis and Patrick, whose decisions led the team down this path.
Both men spoke to the media on Saturday and you could tell it was not a press conference they enjoyed.
There wasn't a lot of news in their words, but their faces spoke volumes.

Features & Opinion
For those who still languish over "losing to China" or believe that the economy is still in recession, wake up and smell the data. Economic development in the South was about as good as it gets in calendar year 2015 according to the data. And as for China, borrowing a quote from the late football coach Bear Bryant that he made in the half-time locker room down 15-0 to Georgia Tech in 1960, "We got 'em right where we want 'em." For those of you who don't know the rich history of Alabama Crimson Tide football, Bama scored all of its 16 points in the fourth quarter, kicking a field goal on the last play of the game to beat Tech 16-15.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Fresh off receiving a six-year extension that includes a $10 million signing bonus and as much as $20 million guaranteed, Sean Lee did not feel any different when he woke up Thursday.
"I have a lot of room to improve not only staying healthy but as a football player," Lee said after the Dallas Cowboys practiced Thursday at AT&T Stadium. "This just motivates me even more to fulfill this and help our team win a Super Bowl."
Language in the contract gives a nod to the fact that Lee has yet to play a full season in his first three years. If he participates in 80 percent of possible plays during games in either of the next two seasons, he will earn an extra $1.5 million on his 2015 base salary. He can earn an additional $7.5 million in playing-time escalators from 2016 to 2019.
"I think I've shown an ability to make plays and help our team win football games in the past, but I still need to find a way to stay on the field a whole year and continue to do that year after year, game after game," Lee said. "That's something I'm working on now. For the Jones family to give me this opportunity, I'm truly blessed."
The base value of Lee's extension is $42 million, with a maximum value of $51 million. Lee, who was entering the final year of his contract, said he never thought about waiting on a deal in hopes of being able to potentially cash in more.
"I think I would've been able to focus on football no matter what, but it's definitely nice to have that off your plate and know you're going to be here for a long time," Lee said. "I'm going to do everything possible to help this team now and into the future."

Kicking It
Although Kick or Treat sounds more like a really sweet option for rogue Halloweeners wherein costumed delinquents are either given candy or allowed to kick homeowners in the shins, then squeal off into the autumn night it actually has more to do with soccer. To mark the last home game of the season (against arch-rivals Real Salt Lake, a contest with potential playoff implications) as well as the approach of All Hallows Eve, your Colorado Rapids are inviting fans to dress up and trick-or-treat around the concourse at Dicks Sporting Goods Park, 6000 Victory Way in Commerce City. Kickoff isnt until 7:30 p.m., but gates will be opened an hour earlier, and those passing through in costume will receive a bag to collect all sorts of goodies, with the first 2,000 kids ages sixteen and under receiving a free soccer ball. Free soccer balls! So whether you cant wait six more days for your gluttonous sugar fix, or youre just a Rapids fan who wants to hide his face in a mask, Dicks is the place to be.

If you are new to archery and want to use a recurve bow, you might not know how to begin to find the best take-down bow for the money. One of the choices you will have to make is whether or not to purchase a take-down recurve bow. And you will have to decide which to buy.
However, there is a lot of available information out there about what take-down bows are best, particularly in particular price ranges. This article will do some of the work for you: summarize the key findings on various models and suggest some of the best take-down bows based on product reviews. It will help you to find the best takedown bow.
What is a Take-down Bow?
Take-down bows can be disassembled into three different parts once they are unstrung. There are some key advantages to selecting a take-down bow, rather than one which cannot be disassembled. For one, they are more easily transportable and can be stored in smaller carrying cases or bags. Secondly, they can be cheaper to repair, as only the part that is broken need be repaired, rather than the whole implement. Take-down bows are also a good choice for beginners because the limbs can be changed in order to change the draw weight (the force needed to draw the string on the bow).
Top-rated Take-down Bows on the Market
There is a lot of information available for the consumer interested in finding the best bow. However, there is also a surprising amount of agreement about what the best models are. This article will save you the time of wading through all of those product reviews and give you a general overview of what rankings and ratings have to say about them. You can also see the links at the bottom if you want further information.
1. Sammick Sage Take-down Recurve Bow
Specifications for these bows include a weight of 3.4 pounds and a length of 64 inches. Additionally, these bows have the advantage of very variable draw weights, from twenty-five pounds to sixty pounds; these draw weights can be increased by replacing the limbs (again, an advantage of take-down bows). Left- handed and right-handled models are available.
Considered the best option in many rankings (see links below), it is easy to use and is considered one of the best values on the market in terms of the cost/quality ratio. Its simple design means that there is little that can break. The limbs are constructed of hard maple wood fitted with black fiberglass to make them more durable, and they are, in general, very well built. The risers are composed of three different kinds of wood in a laminate construction which utilizes hard maple, olive dymondwood, and oak, laminated with fiberglass. They are generally known to have limbs that do not twist. Reviewers have also noted that they are easy to set up and take down.
Strengths include its practicality. The basic model is rather simple, including only a string and arrow rest; however, additional options can be added such as a quiver, quieting device, and site. It is also a good choice for beginners. Finally, it is the cheapest among those reviewed here.
However, as a budget-friendly bow, there are sometimes issues with quality control, and you might have to return the bow you purchase because of manufacturing flaws.
2. Martin Jaguar Take-down Bow
The Martin Jaguar Take-down bow weighs in at a light weight of 2.7 pounds (one of the lighter models in this price range) and is sixty inches long. It comes with draw weights between 30 and 55 pounds. The bow is considered to be well designed, sturdy, and easy to aim. It is very accurate and reliable for a take-down bow of this price and is easily assembled and disassembled.
The limbs are composed of glass and laminated wood; the riser is made out of aluminum and is very strong. It comes with more accessories than the Sammick Sage including an arrow rest, stringing tool, and owner's manual.The grip is comfortable, easily gripped, and thermal, allowing for a sure grip and for the archer to keep his or her hands warm.
There are some key disadvantages to the model: many reviewers have noted that the arrow rest is weak, made of cheap and easily breakable plastic that can become worn with use and might have to be replaced. The limbs can also fail, even after only a short period of use. The owner's manual can be difficult for users to understand because it is comprised solely of pictures and not text. And it is not available in a left-hand model.
3. SAS Spirit 62″ Take-down Recurve Bow
The SAS (Southland Archery Supply) Spirit weighs in at 3.6 pounds and so is the heaviest bow in this review. It is available in 22, 26, 30, and 34 pound draw weights and is, as the name indicates, 62 inches long. It is only recommended for archers up to 5 feet 7 inches tall. The lighter draw weights make it a good choice for beginners and children, as does its ease of use. In fact, the SAS Spirit 62" is the best takedown recurve bows for beginners.
It is sturdily constructed. The limbs are composed of laminated maple and fiberglass. The riser is made up of three kinds of highly durable wood: chuglam, gmelinaarborea, and beech. It is predrilled for accessories such as stabilizers or sights.
It is flexible without being prone to break and comes with a three-year warranty if it should break. Reviewers note that it is quiet and accurate; others note that it is an attractive implement.
Its drawbacks include that it does not come with an arrow rest. Because it is designed for beginners and children, it is also not a good choice for more experienced archers or those who are taller than 5'7". It does not come in a right-hand model.
Five Things to consider
–Purpose: The first consideration to keep in mind when choosing a take-down bow is the purpose of the bow. Will you be using the bow for archery or for hunting? The best bow for one activity will not necessarily be the best bow for the other. You should choose a bow whose strengths match your purpose for using the bow. The best takedown recurve bow for hunting will not be the same as the best recurve bow for target practice. Further, you will need to decide whether you will need a right-hand or left-hand bow, depending on your eye dominance.
– Materials: Also, recurve bows can be made from different materials. There are wooden takedown recurve bows and bows made with other materials such as fiberglass. Which material will work best will depend on personal preference and what you will use the bow to do. (Note: this whole paragraph is new, so you might want to make sure it works.)
– Price: Cost is another factor to keep in mind. When you are looking for a takedown recurve bow for sale, you must decide how much you are willing to spend. Like with most everything, generally the more you are willing to spend, the better the take-home bow you can purchase will be and the more options you will have. Keep in mind that you should avoid the cheapest models on the market because you will get what you pay for. But there are models that are reasonably priced that are also high quality bows. This article will discuss the best take-down recurve bows that can be purchased for less than two hundred dollars.
– Specifications: You should also decide what specifications will work best for you. You should consider what length will work best for you based on your strength and body type and also what bow weight will work best, keeping in mind that a heavier bow can become more difficult to carry. Also, you will need to determine draw weight. Heavier draw weights will obviously make the string more difficult to draw; however, they can be advantageous because they can increase the stability of the draw.When you are just beginning, you should start with lower draw weights until you become comfortable with the heavier weights.
– Ease of Disassembly: One of the advantages of the take-down bow is the fact that it can be disassembled; therefore, look for a bow with an easy disassembly process. Since some bows will require tools for taking down, consider whether or not you are comfortable using tools before deciding what bow to buy.
These are the best takedown recurve bows under $200 on today's market. Recurve bows are a good choice for archers for a number of reasons. For one, they are cheaper (because their construction is less complicated) than compound bows. Further, they are generally more challenging than compound bows and thus more commonly used in competitions; in fact, they are the bows that are used in Olympic archery competitions.
They also have advantages over the traditional long-bow. The curved shape of the limbs grants more speed and power to the arrow. The bow itself also has a smoother release. They are generally smaller and shorter than the traditional bow because they are able to pack more punch into a smaller instrument.
Within the field of recurve bows themselves, there is a lot of variation and choice. However, take-down bows are good options for the many reasons outlined above. And it's easy to find a quality model for a good price.

It was long thought that condoms did not provide protection against the human papillomavirus (HPV). However, findings from more recent studies prove that condoms do actually provide at least some measure of protection against HPV.

One study done at the University of Washington found that women whose partners always wore condoms, and who did so correctly, decreased their risk of being infected by 70 percent. Women whose partner wore a condom more than half of the time they engaged in sexual intercourse, but not always, were 50 percent less likely to contract the virus.

HPV is spread through sexual contact, meaning that no penetration is needed to contract the virus. So even if condoms are worn during intercourse, and worn correctly, there is no guarantee of 100 percent protection against HPV. During intercourse, the unprotected areas of the body can still come in contact with the vagina.

Tips for Reducing Your Risk of HPV

Along with using condoms, there are several things you can do to at least help reduce your risk of contracting HPV. For one, you can limit the amount of sexual partners you have. The more sexual partners you have, the more you put yourself at risk of contracting HPV.

You should also consider getting the HPV vaccine. Gardasil, the current FDA-approved vaccine, is available to young women ages 9 through 26. It protects against two types of HPV known to cause cervical cancer, and two types known to cause genital warts.

The only other way to protect against the transmission of HPV is to practice abstinence.
