New echinaceas seem to be appearing on all sides but there's still a relatively small choice for gardeners who like to raise their echinaceas from seed. Winner of a Gold Medal from Fleuroselect, the Europe-wide flower trialling organisation, 'Cheyenne Spirit' (left, click to enlarge) is an echinacea mixture to raise from seed. It produces plants with large single flowers in six colours: red, orange, yellow, purple, rosy-red, and cream. So there's an excellent range of colours (although no pure white), and, great news for the gardener, the plants flower in their first year from a spring sowing – treat them like a half-hardy annual to give them a good early start.The plants all reach about the same size, whatever the colour – 27-31in/68-80cm in height and 25-30in/64-76cm wide – the plants are very bushy and while in their second year they should flower from June to September, flowering will begin later in the first year.'Cheyenne Spirit' is ideal in sunny borders, where as well as providing its own shining colours, it attracts bees and butterflies and it's also good as a cut flower. Cut the stems just as the petals are unfurling. And once your plants are flowering, you can pick out your favourite color and divide the plant so you have more for the future.You can order seed of Echinacea 'Cheyenne Spirit' from Nicky's Nursery.

Indian film actor, politician, producer and presenter.
Born on 11 October 1942 in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh.
The family belonged to one of the higher castes of India. His father, the Harivamsa Rai Bachchan (pseudonym, real name — Shrivastav), was known in India by the poet, and his mother, Bachchan Teja's – known social activist.
Amitabh studied at Sherwood College boarding school in Nainital,and then to Kirori Small Collegw the University of Delhi.
From childhood he dreamed of becoming an artist, having all data — tall, dark and handsome with regular features and a surprisingly pleasant, velvety baritone. The latter allowed Baccano first work as an announcer on the radio.
Made his film debut in 1969 in the movie "Seven Indians", where he played a major role. Although the film was not a commercial success for her role in it, Bachchan has received national film award as best new actor. For the next film, "Love never dies", Baccano was awarded the magazine "Filmfare" for best actor the second plan.
But the real success came to Baccano only after the execution in 1973, starring in the film "the Protracted payback," in which he played the "angry young man", independently of the opposing evil.
By the mid 70-ies he becomes the highest-grossing actor and a "star No. 1" in the Indian commercial cinema.
The actor developed a constant image — knight without fear or reproach, always ready to help the weak. But the huge success was due to the individual importance of the tiger, its unique human and male charm, the desire to bring in the image of the vitality and credibility.
The films of Amitabh bacchan enjoyed unprecedented success, many of them were shown in our country.
Bachchan in the eyes of the Indians became a symbol of the nation, and when during the filming of the tape is "Kuli" (1982) is injured, the whole country waited anxiously for the daily reports on his health.
In 1984, on the wave of popularity, Amitabh Bachchan ran for Parliament from his native city and won the election by a large margin. However, after 1987, retired from politics and returned to movie.
A new round of popularity brought him film the "We" in 1991, then Amitabh has announced that he wants to leave the movie. Starring in the film "God is witness" (1992), Amitabh moved away from the cinematic get-togethers and along with his younger brother Ajitabh engaged in the development of satellite television and then the production and rental of movies. His company ABCL (Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd) is a major producer of movies. In addition to his career in the commercial business Amitabh tried his hand as a singer and released a pop album called "Aby Baby".
In 1997, after a five year hiatus, the screens out another film with his participation "Bringer of death". In recent years, Bachchan has become more involved in the shooting and easily put on the screens a few movies where he played a major role.
Amitabh Bachchan, in 2000, voted actor of the Millennium by the National Association of filmmakers of India.
From 2000 to 2005 led the Indian version of game show "Who wants to be a millionaire?".
On 26 January 2001 he was awarded "Padma Bhushan" for his outstanding contribution to Indian cinema.
Amitabh Bachchan is considered a pillar of Indian cinema, he is the only actor of the older generation that can still ignite the big screen.
From June 1973 Amitabh Bachchan married actress Jaya Bhaduri. They have two children: daughter Shweta and son Abhishek, also an actor.

We have three more weeks to go before a two week break. I'm ready for a break and even through we could, we're not because I don't have anything to DO and I'll have Year 3, Unit 2 to plan out during the two week break, not to mention Thanksgiving!
This is called perseverance. We're studying South America during history for the next three weeks and I better muster up the enthusiasm I had seven weeks ago! Nine weeks is a long time but, especially when you're in week 7. I'm one of those types that needs something to do when we take a break because I cannot just. take. a. break. In fact, during our break, Camille will be doing Times Tales with a concentrated effort and reading everyday. I might even have her review her Latin vocabulary so that it stays fresh.
So why am I talking about wanting to take a break when taking a break isn't even really a break? Illusions are nice to have now and again. The idea that we don't have to do something would be nice. I feel very boring right now. Our last weekly report showed that, we did x, y, z and it's all going okay. Blah, blah, blah. Lol. At least I can laugh at myself.

Our first quarter went 10 weeks with no break. I found out that was way too long for me. I'm going to try to take a short break after each 5 weeks and see if that helps me keep up my enthusiasm. Here's hoping your next two weeks fly by.
Oh and on our nature study yesterday we found an old abandones gazebo...in the middle of nowhere..interesting although not nature. We did manage to observe a black cricket for 10 minutes and with the help of a nature book found out it was a female.

We are in our 2 week break right now and it is so good LOL. I needed it. I've had the kids reading and I'm catching up on read alouds with them, but my intentions for them to do math review on break have fallen to the wayside. I understand needing something to do on break - I have been working on planning and all kinds of projects; for me it's NICE to have time to do something other than school.

text: McCain Camp Warning: Exit Polls Skew Democratic They always favor Democrats, so just ignore them By Gabriel Winant, Newser User Posted Nov 4, 2008 8:25 AM CST 0 comments Comments Two women exit a polling place after voting, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008, in Pepper Pike, Ohio. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak) View 4 more images (Newser) – John McCain is likely to underperform in exit polls, which historically favor Democrats, writes McCain's pollster Bill McInturff in a memo reprinted by CQ Insider. In the last two presidential elections, exit polls have shown the Democratic candidate doing better than he ultimately did in the real vote count. There's a simple reason for this: Democrats are more willing than Republicans to participate in exit polls. McInturff notes that the skewing effect occurs at the state level as well that national: support for John Kerry in 2004 was exaggerated by exit polls in 26 states, but for George W. Bush in only four. High turnout tends to skew exit polls even more, so voters need to be on guard against thinking the race is decided before it is. (Read more Election 2008 stories.)

WBEZ News
Chicagoans are feeling the burn at the pump
Chicago has some of the highest gas prices in the country.
AAA offers insurance to motorists and keeps an eye on gas prices for its customers. It reports that Chicago's gas prices are averaging around $4.50 per gallon. That's up about 20 cents since last week.
"In May of 2011, it was $4.65 for Chicago, so we're not the highest yet or the highest that Chicago has ever seen yet, but we're getting increasingly close," said Beth Mosher, Chicago spokesperson for AAA.
Mosher said she doesn't know if the region will hit $4.65, but trends show prices rise in the spring and summer.
Meantime, Patrick DeHaan, Senior Petroleum Analyst for gasbuddy.com, believes gas rates will continue to rise until May. Dehaan said there are a few different factors for the rise, including the high demand for gas during warm weather and geopolitical tensions, such as the United States' current conflict with Iran. However, he also attributes some of Chicago's gas price increase to the switch from winter gasoline.
"Think of it sort like a clearance sale. We have an old product—winter gasoline that's being clearanced out. And as that clearance occurs, new merchandise--more expensive merchandise--summer gasoline is hitting the shelves or in this case hitting the pumps," he said.
Dehaan said the city generally makes a transition from winter fuel which has higher volatility levels to lower reformulated gasoline because it meets EPA pollution standards for the summer months. He said he encourages drivers to shop around for best gas prices.
Both Dehaan and Mosher advised users to slow down to save money on gas.
"For every five miles per hour someone goes over 60 [miles per hour], that's like adding 24 cents to the gallon." said Mosher.

sausage white bean and kale soup
It is Secret Recipe Club time again. Last month I started my Secret Recipe Club post with this proclamation .... I have been in a health funk lately. Well it has been a month and my health funk has just snowballed into a general funk. Funk is not good. Funk stinks. Between me being sick, my kids being sick, my husband traveling, minor home remodeling projects I feel overwhelmed, frazzled and funky. Do you ever look around at school drop off and think how does everyone have it all together? I know comparing isn't good but, I just want their secret. How do they do it?
This month I was assigned la phemme phoodie. The author is a lawyer by day and a foodie by night. She has a passion for food but, has some dietary restrictions which has allowed her to experiment with wheat and egg free recipes. There were several gluten free recipes on her site that I boo marked but, with my perpetual cold and fresh CSA box at my door I opted for her sausage bean and spinach soup. I had to swap some of the ingredients based on what was in my box but, she suggested many of the swaps in her write up. This soup is fresh and flavorful yet, extremely comforting with the spicy sausage and creamy beans. A hot bowl of this on a rainy spring night is just what the doctor ordered.
My palate and mind has been a bit lost on sugar lane lately. I feel as if I have lost my way. As tempting and beautiful as all of those sugar masterpieces look I am going to work on refocusing my blog on what I love. The food I love to eat and the food my body needs. I need to get out of this funk.
sausage bean and kale soup
adapted: la phemme phoodie
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 14.5 oz can italian diced tomatoes
1 lb italian chicken sausages, casings removed
1 leek, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces fresh kale, rib removes and chopped
2 15 oz can cannellini beans, drained
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb italian chicken sausages, casings removed
1 14.5 oz can italian diced tomatoes
salt and pepper
grated parmesan for serving (optional)
Heat the chicken stock, water and diced tomatoes in a dutch oven over medium heat. In a separate pan cook sausage over medium heat until brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Do not rinse the pan. Reduce heat to low. Add the leek and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute. Add the leeks, sausage and beans to dutch oven. Bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the kale. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot. Top with grated parmesan.

I am certainly not the healthiest of eaters but I like to write about recipes that motivate me to eat healthy. I too have been battling a fierce craving for sugar. It's a hard battle but making healthy meals like this one is a great way to work your way out of your funk. I'm thrilled you chose this recipe. It is one of my favorites. I make this quite often during the winter. Soup is a great way to sneak in veggies for even the pickiest of eaters.

A of all: no body has it all together. There are no secrets.
B of all: Being in a funk sucks. a lot. But maybe its your self telling you there is something out of balance? Maybe change is afoot...

After many years livng in New York, it's easy to fall into a pattern; going to the same bars, same restaurants and doing the same things. But then all of a sudden, you realize that you're not taking advantage of the city that you spend so much money to be in. I decided that I was going to make an effort again! To see and experinence new things. While I was still in the "gung-ho" phase, I decided that I would venture all the way to the Bronx to see the Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden.
Two trains and one bus later, we arrived! Upon arrival, despite the massive amounts of people and children, you felt transported to another world, stilt walkers dressed as train workers and fabulously festive conductors (complete with train shoulder pads!) Excitement was building, and finally, we were allowed in the greenhouse. The exhibit was packed, children and adults admiring the intricate NY houses and monuments. First thing that you noticed were the replicas of the iconic New York bridges overhead.
I loved seeing how they portrayed some of New York's iconic buildings; the Guggenheim and JFK were particularly unusual and spectacular. Many of the buildings, including the old Vanderbilt mansion, had been torn demolished. It was so sad to think of all the beautiful buildings being replaced by ugly skyscrapers.
Overall, the train show was very impressive. I would recommend not going on a Saturday afternoon, if you can avoid it. There is also a great holiday food court with sandwiches and soups from Chelsea Kitchen. The NY Botanical Garden complex is HUGE! There is even a tram to take you around it all. Given that it was winter, we skipped the tram, but we DID enjoy the Flora Illustrata, an exhibit featuring beautiful illustrations of flowers dating hundreds of years. The gift shop at the Botanical Garden is also great and has a vast collection of books about everything plant and garden. Because we went around Christmas, there were carolers, ice sculptures and beautifully light up Christmas trees. Definitely well worth the trip!
Want to see more photos of the train show? See the full album on our Flickr page!

Nicole is cooking a Thanksgiving dinner for her boyfriend and his two sons, the only problem is Nicole can't boil noodles properly. After the three of them look over the mash potatoes and the can of cranberry she left out on the table, Nicole asks for some help in the kitchen with the Turkey. It turns on that she never turned the oven on because she thought the microwave and oven were connected! She runs upstairs to the bedroom and Chad goes up to do a little more than console her.

Modeling the Impacts of Global Change on Water Availability and the Associated Sustainable Sanitation TechnologiesEPA Grant Number: F07A61061
Title: Modeling the Impacts of Global Change on Water Availability and the Associated Sustainable Sanitation Technologies
Investigators: Fry, Lauren M.
Institution: Michigan Technological University
EPA Project Officer: Zambrana, Jose
Project Period: September 1, 2007 through September 1, 2010
RFA: GRO Fellowships for Graduate Environmental Study (2007) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Global Climate Change , Academic Fellowships , Fellowship - Environmental Engineering
The proposed research recognizes the need for accelerated sanitation coverage in the face of global change by investigating the technological, societal, and climatic barriers to sanitation coverage. The research will provide a useful method for investigating the effects of development on water resource sustainability in the context of global change.
Research objectives are to (1) use historical data and projections of population and climate to determine potential impacts of water scarcity, climate change, and urbanization on the likelihood of meeting the Millennium Development Target for sanitation by 2015; (2) investigate the potential for health improvement of different sanitation technologies under global change scenarios analyzed in (1); and (3) model the potential for different sanitation technologies to improve water sustainability and public health in a particular water-stressed watershed.
Research will begin with an analysis of challenges related to water resource availability, the trend toward urbanization, and sanitation technology. The analysis will consider historical data as well as projections of future populations and climate. At the same time, financial, political, and social barriers will be investigated to provide a complete picture of why the world is not on track to meeting the target for sanitation. Then, the potential for public health improvement for various sanitation technologies will be analyzed using relative risks of water-related illnesses for the scenarios analyzed during the first phase. Relative risk, derived from previous epidemiological studies, will be affected by both level of sanitation (i.e. no sanitation, latrine, or excreta removal by flushing toilets) and increased water availability for domestic uses other than sanitation, resulting from improved water efficiency of sanitation technologies. As a result of these first phases, a model will be developed that will project water sustainability and public health improvement that would result from various sanitation technologies, and this will be applied at a watershed scale in a water-stressed region.
Expected Results:
The impacts resulting from the scenario analysis will not be predictions of future water resource sustainability. However, the research will provide a decision support tool for water resources management, presenting an overall picture of possible outcomes of global change on water resources sustainability. The method will demonstrate how incorporating a parameter, such as sanitation water use, into water resource sustainability modeling can provide useful information to policy makers and stakeholders. The method will be easily adaptable for different policy and development strategy investigations, and will be useful for developing countries and industrialized nations alike.

On Saturday, John linked to a piece about Iran by Jack Kelly on his blog Irish Pennants. John focused on Kelly's discussion of how the CIA appears to be using a dubious assessment of Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for the purpose of undercutting the administration's contention that this prospect is an urgent concern.
The flip side of Kelly's analysis is that the administration may be trying to "prepare public opinion for action against Iran." Kelly thinks that this may explain why, in the wake of last week's bombing that killed so many Ohio reservists, military intelligence let it be known that large shipments of high explosives are entering Iraq from Iran, something that his been going on unremarked for some time. And a perceived need on the part of the CIA to influence the public not support military action against Iran may explain why the CIA leaked its assessment.
It's far from clear to me that the administration has any plans to attack Iran. It's also far from clear that we have any other workable means of preventing this terror-supporting fundamentalist regime from going nuclear and from continuing to export terror into Iraq.

It's been a while since i've posted something here. Most of my recent blogs have been within the team space at ASRI and are therefore private until it's ready for public release. Anyway, there are two pieces of news I can happily report :
- I've been appointed as the new High Altitude Balloon (HAB) manager for ASRI. This is a fantastic opportunity to do some decent hardware and software hacking – if only work provided opportunities like this 😦
- My first project proposal as part of the HAB program has been given approval to proceed. This project expects to deliver a number of flights with one of the goals being the creation of an ongoing capability for ASRI members, schools, universities and the general public – much the same as what ASRI currently does with its unique Small Sounding Rocket Program (SSRP).
These balloon flights typically get above most of the atmosphere to a height around 30km. The current flight computing hardware i'm designing isn't Linux based 😦 It is being developed on Linux. Will Linux be flown? If the experiment complexity dictates it then yes, of course. The current hardware is most likely going to be based on the parallax propellor microcontroller which provides 8 processors (COGS).
Anyway, that is my update for the moment. More to follow.

In English, okonomiyaki translates to something close to "what you like, cooked." It's actually a pancake substance, made from a base of water, flour, cabbage, and yam, and topped with whatever fillings you want. There are about 40 different fillings available, everything from pure pork to pork and shrimp, eel, mixed seafood, and natto (fermented soybeans).
Gaja Moc is the supreme okonomiyaki specialist, says exilekiss—a fun, cook-it-yourself kind of joint with a teppan grill on each table. You can have the staff cook your okonomiyaki for you in the kitchen, but that would be missing the point. Order the fillings you want, cook them up on one side of the grill while you cook your pancake on the other side, combine, and eat. Do not fear being an okonomiyaki idiot—the staff gives instructions, and will happily leap in to help any diners in distress.
The okonomiyakis turn out great. "The crispiness of the nice sear on both sides of the okonomiyaki provided a great backbone to the rest of the ingredients, with the beautiful mix of seafood and fatty pork happily meshing together," says exilekiss.There's also a wide variety of toppings, in clearly marked containers: bonito fish flakes, sweet sauce, Japanese mayo, and pickled red ginger.
One of the odder and more satisfying fillings you can order is mentai mochi chiizu—spicy cod roe, rice cakes, and cheese. The cod roe gives a great oceanic note to every bite, with the gooey goodness of mochi and cheese melting into the batter, says exilekiss.

Researching is always a good way for you to get the answers to your questions.
Organization of ideas, information and resources also are found to be vital keys. There are a lot of components in granting a proposal like statement of need, executive summary, project description, budget, organizational information and evaluations.

As the sun sets on the Great Recession and the dust begins to settle, small but noticeable changes are becoming evident: Many Americans are saving more. They tend to be thriftier. And, they are relying less on credit. A large number have suffered through job losses, unemployment, and under-employment.
As jobs have become more scarce and more people are competing for jobs (as many as four to one, as opposed to one to one before the recession), many more job-seekers are open to finding work out of state. It's no secret that certain cities have much healthier job markets than others. Some came through the recession not only unscathed, but robust. Fargo, North Dakota, for example, has an unemployment rate of just 3.1 percent – far below the national unemployment rate.
Before looking for a job out of state, first determine which cities would work for you and your family. Research the area and learn about schools, housing, crime rate, traffic, neighborhoods, and quality of life. You want a city you'll be able to enjoy, so nearby restaurants, shopping, parks, museums, and entertainment venues are important. Easy access to public transportation and a pedestrian-friendly environment are also big advantages.
Before starting an out-of-state job search, check over your resume and be sure all of the information is current. Don't include your address on your resume – many employers won't look past the out-of-state address and may pass you up for an in-state candidate. Use job boards, the local chamber of commerce, LinkedIn, company websites, and possibly a recruiter to find opportunities. Try to line up several interviews back-to-back to cut down on travel expenses. While you are in the area, make a few cold calls to companies you are interested in. Explain that you are moving to the area and are very interested in their company. They may at least request your resume, if not set up an interview.
The final decision is probably the most crucial: where will you live? Take some time to explore the areas – talk to locals and ask about shopping, nightlife, and schools. Decide if you would prefer to rent for a while until you are sure this is a location you plan to stay in long-term, or if you'd rather buy right away.
Investigate the neighborhoods you are interested in thoroughly at different times of the day. How's the traffic around rush hour? Where's the bus stop? Are the neighbors out in the evening, walking dogs, pushing strollers, and stopping to chat, or is the neighborhood buttoned up tight? Which do you prefer? Is there an accessible shopping area, and how far are you from downtown? Be sure to check out parks, entertainment venues, and opportunities to enjoy any hobbies you may have (if you enjoy surfing, how far are you from the beach? If you love to golf, where's the nearest course? If you enjoy art, is there a studio/art supply store in the neighborhood?)
Relocating can be an exciting adventure or an event riddled with stress. Finding the right place to live, starting a new job, perhaps dealing with children switching schools – try to approach the move with a positive attitude – it is a fun adventure, filled with possibilities.

From Aiken, South Carolina, USA:
What are the effects of accidentally injecting insulin into muscle?
Accidentally injecting insulin into the muscle can cause a faster rate of absorption of the insulin. This could mean blood sugars drop faster than they might with subcutaneous injection. Absorption is even more rapid if those specific muscles are being exercised, such as injecting into the thigh muscles and then running. There is no damage inherent to the muscles in doing this, but it will vary the rate of insulin absorption and the predictability of that particular insulin dose.

Cheap removalists Perth can be ideal for those moving. Have you ever moved before? It's not easy to say the least and it's certainly not always appealing to most people either. In truth, people love the ideal of staying at home and leaving the task up to everyone else, but sometimes it's not an option. However, there are lots of simple moving tools and resources for you to try. Read on and find just a few simple tips that may come in use when it comes to leaving.
Choose a Day That Works For You
For most, they don't think about a suitable day when moving, they usually choose any date as they think its sufficient time for them to pack and get everything sorted. Unfortunately packing up a house is not easy and there is the emotional side to it too which can often get in the way of leaving. That is why you have to think rationally in terms of when you are going to fully ready to leave physically and emotionally. You can call in furniture removalists Perth for a certain day but unless you're fully ready, it's not going to be useful. Always plan ahead and find a good moving day.
Always Have Plenty of Boxes and Trolleys On Hand
Despite what you might think, you need boxes and plenty of them! You always think a dozen boxes are enough but, in truth, when you start packing items away and wrap them up in bubble wrap and protective paper, they can become far bulkier. When this happens, you end up needing more help and far more boxes. That is why you really need to have a shed load of boxes available to you and don't forget moving trolleys. These can easily help load and unload items and get them from one location to the next. If you plan on using cheap removalists Perth, these items will be greatly used too.
Hire a Professional Mover
Another great resource for movers to consider has to be to hire professionals. Now, professional furniture removalists Perth can be the ideal tool for you to use when it comes to getting more value for money. Have you ever tried to move a whole house-full of stuff? It's not easy and when you don't really have experience in this area, things can go from bad to worse in a matter of seconds! It's a necessity to consider hiring a professional mover so that things are made easier and a lot smoother. What's more, you can hopefully prevent damages or accidents from occurring with a professional.Read page from http://www.abc2news.com/news/crime-checker/baltimore-city-crime/chief-financial-officer-of-business-accused-of-defrauding-company-of-200000
Getting Better Value for Money
Moving takes so much out of you. There is not only the worry of when to move and getting everything set up, but getting the help you need. For most, they tend to get very stressed when moving and it's not hard to see why. It takes so much out of you moving and for that reason you have to think about getting the best help possible. Why not hire cheap removalists Perth and get the help you need?…

Discussion: Sustainable ConsumptionApril 15, 2014
At the Imagine Change! forum on the theme "Sustainable Consumption," the question on how governments could be motivated to be more green when they are donor-dependent was raised. It was suggested that since donors do look for good investment, we have an obligation to let our donors know if we think that we are compromising on environmental practices or social practices . Other compelling reasons include the value for money argument, and value to human health since cost of healthcare rises after environmental damage (for example in China).
Considering the fact that Bhutan is a small market, it was pointed out that Bhutan cannot influence the Indian market to move towards sustainable production and consumption. However, it was noted that Bhutan is one of many, and other markets are also considering sustainable procurement and suppliers will find larger markets all around the world if they make this transition.
Another concern raised was the use of private cars in Bhutan (especially Thimphu) not just as a medium for transportation but as status symbol and public transportation was offered as an alternative. Along the same lines, moving towards service economy and communal consumptions were suggested.
Another aspect of unsustainable consumption was Bhutanese increasingly using packaged goods as Tshog offerings in monasteries and for rituals because of convenience. It was also pointed out that for an average Bhutanese it is very difficult to understand the full life cycle cost and similar aspects of sustainability. In the process, we not only become more ecologically unsustainable but also more careless about our motivation in making offerings (a practice meant to encourage more personal effort and mindfulness).
Some solutions suggested for sustainable living were: waste-to-energy plants, public transportation and carpooling, carrying own bag/container, sharing knowledge and information with family and friends, using local materials for building, connecting cooperatives with markets, and using media to spread right messages, education and changing our lifestyles and mindsets for sustainable living. Some major challenges were also discussed, most importantly the difficulty in practicing what we preach, fighting human desire and greed and the challenge posed by mass production and consumption.
Sharing some Buddhist perspective, one participant stated that sustainable consumption is nothing new and was in practice where we consumed to feed our need and not our greed. Inner thinking was deemed important in order to control our desires and practice contentment.
Some key points made at the forum were:
- There is considerable focus on sustainable products (as in what goes into the products). However, there is an even bigger need to look into the demand side of things as (excessive) consumption is driving environmental degradation. Therefore even the most efficient or environmentally-friendly product will not help if we keep consuming excessively.
- The opportunity for supply side would be to produce sustainably, make products durable and repairable and design for reuse, disassembly and recycling
- The opportunity for demand side would be in collaborative consumption, product-service systems and consumption based on true need (sufficiency).
- Green Public Procurement is one piece of a large puzzle, but is quite significant as the Bhutanese government spends about 60-70% of total budget in public procurement.
- If governments demand and buy sustainable products, it will help spark a positive signal in the whole country and can have an important role in sustainable production and consumption discussion.
- Long-term thinking is important when we want to make decisions in line with sustainability.
- Political leadership is key.

When They Say "Responsibility," They Mean "Punishment"
I don't compromise with people who don't respect my bodily autonomy. I don't even let them have the first premise. I don't take their rhetorical framing. I especially don't take advice on what I should do with my reproductive organs from people who will never be in the position of facing, up close and personal, an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy.
Further, while I rejoice to respect the wishes of any given woman who may or may not be pregnant in the matter of what she intends to do with her reproductive organs, I am pro-abortion. Abortion is often the best possible answer to a difficult question. As this thread on Pandagon mentions, the abortion rate might indeed go down were circumstances different -- more access to birth control options, less violence against women, including less social stigma and shaming behaviour directed towards abortion-seekers, emergency contraception-seekers and single or unmarried mothers; not to mention French-style perquisites for parents and children. So far, no place in North America is very far through that checklist.
However, the most important thing there is that we be pro-choice. As commenter Kyra at Pandagon explains:
We are not pro-abortion in the way that pro-lifers are pro-life. To compare the two phrases, to speak of them as though they are equivalent to each other, is to accuse the pro-choice movement of being anti-birth, of pushing abortion as the only choice. This is patently untrue and everybody, no matter how deluded, knows it.
The right to an abortion would mean little to a woman who wants to give birth (unless of course she were to suffer complications to her pregnancy that would threaten things that she holds in greater value, such as her life, health, ability to care for living children, et cetera), yes? Similarly, the right to give birth would mean equally little to a woman who wants an abortion. The right which matters is the one a person chooses. Hence, pro-choice. And, we support choice for another reason, specifically that there is one reason having the opposite choice means anything to a woman of either persuasion: the ability to choose has value in itself—even if you'd never consider the other option, the fact that it's there means you have the ability to make the choice freely, you are not forced to take one option or the other, your choice is free of the stench of force and slavery. Doesn't pretty much everyone prefer to be asked to do something rather than commanded to do it?
Incidentally, this is not exactly a new idea.
This is a passage from the medieval poem Ragnelle, about the wedding of the famous medieval hero Sir Gawain to Dame Ragnelle, the "loathly lady."
"Syr," she sayd, "thus shalle ye me have:
Chese of the one, so God me save,
My beawty wolle not hold —
Wheder ye wolle have me fayre on nyghtes
And as foulle on days to alle men sightes,
Or els to have me fayre on days
And on nyghtes on the fowlyst wife --
The one ye must nedes have."
"Alas!" sayd Gawen; "The choyse is hard.
To chese the best, it is forward,
Wheder choyse that I chese:
To have you fayre on nyghtes and no more,
That wold greve my hart ryghte sore,
And my worship shold I lese.
And yf I desire on days to have you fayre,
Then on nyghtes I shold have a simple repayre.
Now fayn wold I chose the best:
I ne wott in this world what I shalle saye,
But do as ye lyst nowe, my Lady gaye.
The choyse I put in your fyst."**
The happy ending to the story is that by allowing Ragnelle to choose her fate, the curse is broken and the loathly lady becomes a lovely lady. (My question is, if someone in the fucking fifteeth or sixteenth century had the answer to the question "What do women want?" -- which is, "Go ask them, one at a time" -- figured out, why are we still having trouble with this five hundred years later?!)
Another area this blogger doctor was very adamant about was that people take "responsibility" for their actions. He said he is more than happy to write prescriptions for birth control, for which I commend him (I'm still not going to him for gynecological examinations, however), but at the same time judgementally maintains that all those abortions are for "birth control" (yeah, what else would they be for? Certainly not for fun, as most people who are into having surgery for fun like nosejobs and tummy tucks and yet another round of liposuction, and so on), and insists that "the condom didn't break all those times."
Well, so what if the condom didn't break, or there wasn't any condom? Me, I would much rather someone had an abortion than had a baby they didn't want, or even a pregnancy they didn't want. Goodness knows there's enough abused, maltreated, and unwanted children out there, and it certainly isn't your place to pass judgement on what someone else wants to do with their own, living, breathing, adult, consenting body, or why. Certainly having an abortion is more responsible than bringing an unwanted baby into the world, and either raising a child you don't want, or putting it up for adoption (a rather uncertain prospect even at the best of times).
But this debate isn't about ethics, or cleaning up after yourself. This is about agency, and control, and punishment. If you have the temerity to insist that you, as a female, have enough agency to be able to manage your sexual and reproductive life without submitting to the control of the approved social institutions (such as heterosexual marriage or the moral bloviatings of male doctors and other patriarchal authority figures), you deserve punishment. And that is exactly what they mean by "responsibility." If you don't do as the benevolent doctor tells you and use your birth control exactly as directed, and you wind up pregnant, well, sucks to be you, and you, according to him, don't get an out. The real Talibornagains, as we all know, take this at least several steps further: If you don't submit to a male-dominant heterosexual marriage in which you are expected to bear every child you can conceive, and you wind up pregnant, well, not only should you be forced to have a baby you might not want, but you should also pay various heavy social penalties for it.
This, of course, stands in stark contrast to every other technological means of control over ourselves and our environment human beings have ever devised, which are generally welcomed eagerly and enthusiastically by even the wingiest wingnuts, everything from modern medicine to weight-lifting to plastic surgery to the various "externalizations of the senses" described by Marshall McLuhan (which would include the Internet). Each one of these things represents a further separation between the human condition and the "natural" condition.
But as soon as the issue of women's control over their sexuality comes up, whoops, back to the Stone Age we go, and the attempt at control is dismissed as "unnatural." Astute historians will note that there have been recorded methods of [attempted] birth control since the beginning of recorded history; this isn't exactly a new debate either, much though the opposing side would have us believe it is. It may very well be "human nature" (such as that is) to attempt to separate sex from reproduction; certainly we seem to be wired to want and be able to control and change our internal and external environments more or less at will. (This also, I think, explains why the side that wants control to reside externally to the women in question prefers to use the word "contraception" or the odious neologism "contracepting"; it so nicely obfuscates the meaning inherent in the simpler term birth control, that is, that any form of birth control allows women to take charge of whether and when they give birth. Simple!)
Five hundred years ago we had this figured out: People want to be (able to be) in control of themselves. Part of that control, for women, is the ability to decide whether or not -- and when -- to give birth, as it has always been. Those who want to punish women for wanting to exert that control might well want to look at what kinds of control they themselves have, and punishments appropriate thereto.
** "Sir," she said, "So shall you have of me:
Choose between the two, God save me,
My beauty will not hold --
Whether you would have me fair at night
And as foul during the day to all men's sight
Or would you have me fair in the day,
And at night have the foulest wife
That one might have?
"Alas," said Gawain, "The choice is hard.
To choose it best confounds me,
Which choice that I choose
To have you fair at night and no more
That would pain me greatly
And I should lose my worship of you.
And if I desire to have you fair during the day,
Then at night, I should have a poor respite,
Now gladly I would choose the best
I don't know what in the world I should say
But do as you like now, my Lady fair,
The choice is in your hand..."

Test Your Knowledge Of Wireless Protocols
Were you aware that the latest, greatest 802.11 wireless standards are not always the best option for enterprise installations? You are now.
- 802.11n is a new standard designed to offer significantly greater throughput, data rate, and range than previous versions on the 802.11 wireless standards.
- The latest, greatest 802.11 wireless standards are always the best option for enterprise installations.
- Because a wireless connection is working, it must not be encountering any interference.
- Today's 802.11 wireless networks are secure.
1. FALSE. 802.11n is a proposed standard. The 802.11n specification has not yet been ratified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and is not scheduled to be published until 2009. The standard process has been slowed by dueling vendor proposals, as a well as a recent patent controversy. None of this has stopped wireless gear providers from selling so-called Draft 2.0 products, based on a stable, but early version of 802.11n. The Wi-Fi Alliance, a trade group, is evening testing Draft 2.0 products for compatibility with other 802.11 products. Enterprises are unlikely to deploy pre-802.11n products, and enterprise-class companies such as Cisco Systems will wait on the sidelines until they can guarantee compatibility, etc. But yes, eventually 802.11n promises up to 74 Mbps throughput, 248 Mbps data rate, and 70 meters of effective range.
2. FALSE. Of today's ratified 802.11 standards, 802.11a, which was released in 1999, is often the best choice for more critical, corporate or commercial links. That's because 802.11a operates in the 5 GHz band, which is relatively uncluttered. The more popular 802.11b and 802.11g (the latter is compatible with 802.11a, the former is not) operate in the crowded 2.4 GHz band. That said, a 802.11a network must be well designed. Its range is less than the other protocols, and it doesn't penetrate walls or other impediments as well.
3. FALSE. The 802.11 protocol is fairly good at handling interference, which can come from a number of sources—microwaves, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, fluorescent lights, even bad electrical connections. If an 802.11 device senses interference, it can hold off its own transmission until the interference burst passes. Or it will retransmit data until it gets a receipt. Holding off and retransmitting, though can significantly impact throughput. By some estimates, a microwave operating at the same frequency as a 802.11 network can reduce the latter's capacity by half.
4. TRUE. As much as anything in information technology today can be called secure, current 802.11 technology protects data from snoops. True, early versions could be easily hacked, but starting in 2004 with 802.11i (also known as Wi-Fi Protected Access 2), networks began incorporating the government-strength Advance Encryption Standard. Companies can throw in a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server for safe measure.

Many widgets support a special arg, "show_tags", which will display a list of tags next to the widget. This will allow users to check off tags of interest and see the results of the widget change dynamically according to their selections.
This feature can be turned on for a widget simply by setting "show_tags" to "true".
The show_tags arg will be added to your widget in the widget editor.
<widget type="news">
<arg id="group">me</arg>
<arg id="show_tags">true</arg>
By default (through LiveWhale 1.6.1), you will be allowed to select multiple tags for filtering. However, you can instead allow only one tag to be selected at a time by wrapping your widget in <div data-options="exclusive_tags=true"> ... </div>. Starting in LiveWhale 1.6.2, this is the new default. If you'd like a multi-select tagger, we recommend isotope.js.

Bridging the communication gap between school and home
We live in a real-time society where instant access to grades via the Internet and to your children via cell phones is the norm. Parents are continually looking to bridge the gap between school and home.
"The reality is that teachers have so many students and so many constraints on their time that they simply cannot give an adequate amount of attention to communicating home to the child's parents," says Dr. Mike Papadimitriou, headmaster for the Academy of Science in Conroe, Texas. The key to success for parents, he says, centers along creating the appropriate and acceptable lines of communication with the school and with their child.
"The best way to keep abreast of what's going on at school is to get involved," says Dr. Marv Abrams, an adjunct educational professor for Argosy University, Orange County and an educational professional with 20 years teaching and 14 years administrator experience. "Whether your child is young enough for you to volunteer in the classroom or whether you join the good old PTA, you're gaining access to knowledge about how the classroom and the school work and gaining access to school administrators that can be very useful for staying in tune with your child's education."
Another critical component to keeping your child out of trouble and focused on studies is to know your child's friends. "Parents should always be monitoring their child's friends," says Abrams. "Know who your children are hanging out with, texting, and talking to on social networking sites and what they are doing with them. Kids are attracted to people just like them so if you find they hang out with a 'bad crowd' the reality is that they are the 'bad crowd' and you may need to intervene."
Kids who stay active are kids who stay out of trouble, both Abrams and Papadimitriou agree. Whether it's a school club, the band or athletics, the more time kids spend in the presence of an adult engaged in something positive, the better off they'll be.
When your child faces trouble, socially or academically, staying neutral is the key. "Parents can lose objectivity when it comes to their children. They send their children to us as their most prized possessions and can forget that their children, like us as administrators, sometimes make mistakes. Nobody is perfect - the goal should be to focus on the problem at hand and correcting the situation, not on identifying blame with either the child or the school," says Papadimitriou.
While many parents consider themselves as much a friend to their child as a parent, setting clear boundaries for yourself is as important as getting involved. "Allow your child to work through the issue on their own," says Abrams. When they come to you with an issue, ask what they are doing about the problem and how they can resolve it. Offer advice that can help them work it out for themselves. Papadimitriou agrees and adds, "If that doesn't work, then you communicate with the teacher," he says.
If the issue is academic, Abrams recommends getting to know the learning environment better. "Ask the teacher how he or she is teaching the content standards and when they are teaching which subjects. Ask for additional work and/or resources to help support your child's learning. Stay focused on your child and not on telling the teacher how to run the class or how to work with other kids."
"Never criticize the teacher or school in front of your child," says Abrams. "It forces your child to choose between the authority of the school and your authority as a parent and only sets them up for further conflicts in the future. If you need to discuss an issue, you talk to the teacher without your child knowing. That gives you the opportunity to partner with the teacher to find a solution and sets your child up for success in the future. It also sets you up to be able to reinforce the work the teacher is doing."
"While a child is never expected to adjust to an abusive situation," says Papadimitriou, "sometimes children just have to learn to adjust to different ways of doing things and to different personalities. The less critical and the more cooperative you are as a parent, the more positive impact you can have on your child's education."

By the end of the engagement, Impuls Leasing had:
More than 3,100 SMEs and rural businesses now have access to equipment necessary to grow their businesses.
SMEs and rural clients now have access to a new "50/50" leasing product, which takes into account the seasonality of their businesses. This product allows clients to pay 50% down and the other 50% in the fourteenth through nineteenth months, after the second harvest or production cycle.
Trained lease officers now have the sales skills and incentives to reach out to customers in rural areas to offer leasing services.
Conducted an assessment of Impuls Leasing Romania to evaluate its policies, management and staff capacity, marketing and sales strategy, and ability to comply with the terms of the loan agreement with EBRD.
Designed the Rural Lease and "50/50" products, including market research, product development, financial analysis, marketing, and implementation assistance.
Created tools for the Sales and Risk Departments to verify client eligibility and assess risk.
Trained Impuls Leasing Romania's sales force, building sales skills tailored for SME and rural customers.
Designed a simple-to-administer incentive system that generated a higher volume of qualified applicants.
Leasing is a powerful tool for supporting small businesses since it can provide an affordable way for small business to acquire the equipment they need to run their businesses. But the leasing terms must meet the small businesses' needs and realities to achieve significant market penetration. Because EBRD's SME Finance Facility was targeting rural areas, Enclude's market research found that potential lessees' ability to pay was greatly affected by the agricultural production cycle. Consequently, we recommended an equipment leasing product with an unusual repayment schedule that has been well-received by the market.
Projects such as this one create opportunities to strengthen the client's whole organisation. As we developed the marketing plan for these products, the client recognised the opportunity to build a program to increase Impuls Leasing's overall visibility and lay the foundation for a greater presence in the market on an ongoing basis. Similarly, Impuls Leasing found that the training program originally designed for the sales team so beneficial that they asked us to expand the curriculum and train almost everyone in the organisation. These investments in capacity building not only made the project very successful, but contributed to Impuls Leasing's increase in market share from seventh to second largest in Romania.

Ministers are constantly under critique and criticism, as was Yeshua. I believe Yeshua understands more of the heartache and sorrows of being betrayed by a friend, hurt by someone loved, and walked out on by those who were supposed to have been support than anyone Who ever lived.
I had a class under Dr. Oral Roberts once and he said something I have never forgotten, "Never answer a critic." He was right. There is nothing a person can say to their critics that will change anything. When a person is tied to their belief that another is wrong, there is very little the person accused of being wrong can do except pray that G-d open eyes. In Dr. Roberts' case, an entire group of his friends and supporters came against him and walked out thinking they were doing G-d a favor. By the way, today we don't know the names of these people but we all sure know who Dr. Oral Roberts is. G-d didn't move in the life of the critic, He moved in the life of the one daring to cry out for Him.
There's an old Bible story of man who cried out. He desired something of the L-rd. Yochanan-Makabi / Mark 10:46-52 (AMP), "Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, a son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. And when he heard that it was Yeshua/Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, saying, Yeshua/Jesus, Son of David, have pity and mercy on me (now)! And many severely censured and reproved him, telling him to keep still, but he kept on shouting out all the more. You Son of David, have pity and mercy on on me (now)! And Yeshua/Jesus stopped and said, Call him. And they called the blind man, telling him, Take courage! Get up! He is calling you. And throwing off his outer garment, he leaped up and came to Yeshua/Jesus. And Yeshua/Jesus said to him, What do you want Me to do for you? And the blind man said to Him, Master, let me receive my sight. And Yeshua/Jesus said to him, Go your way; your faith has healed you. And at once he received his sight and accompanied Yeshua/Jesus on the road."
There are many lessons in this one story, but today I am going to focus on Bartimaeus' critics. You will not find that any of Bartimaeus' critics got anything. But Bartimaeus did. The same thing was true for Dr. Oral Roberts. Why is this? Because criticizing is a form of judgment. It's a condemnation. An unfavorable judgment.To condemn a Servant of G-d, you place yourself on the judgement seat of Moshiach. You are saying to the world that you know more than anybody, more than the Most High and that there is no place for correction in yourself. Let's just say you are right and the Servant is wrong. It is for G-d to correct HIS Servant. Now let's say we are wrong and the Servant is right. We place ourselves under judgment for the Word that G-d tried to teach us through this Servant and we wouldn't receive. And that is precisely why we don't know the names of the many who severely censured and reproved Bartimaeus and the ones that severely criticized Dr. Oral Roberts. They set forth their own judgment by criticizing.
The prophet Isaiah had his lips burned by the heavenly coals because he spoke against Israel in heaven, allowing himself to become a judge of others instead of being purely an instrument of G-d's will and instructions. The rule in modesty is not to prejudge others and not to assume that one somehow can be certain of G-d's true intentions. Humans are fallible. G-d is infallible. This alone should engender a feeling of humility and modesty in humans.
The people who have been taken by this deceitful spirit become "crusaders." They are irreconcilable enemies of their former associations and displaced family members. In most cases, the things they deem wrong or lacking are the very areas in which the L-rd seeks to position them for intercession. What should be an opportunity for spiritual growth and meeting a need becomes an area of stumbling and withdrawal. Their criticisms are a smokescreen for a prayerless heart and an unwillingness to serve.
We have lived in a world system for so long without ABBA's glorious presence, we think we have it with a little faith and Word speak. But the truth is.......we do not. I am so hungry for the magnificent Presence of My Father I can hardly stand it. I want Him to come so badly I meditate upon Him night and day. I desire to see people swept into the kingdom by the millions upon this planet and it's not going to happen without Him. I have SEEN the work of My Father. I have HEARD His footsteps. I KNOW His heart. And I am waiting on my LOVELY YESHUA as He fills this earth with the knowledge of HIMSELF and HIS GLORY.
I have faith in Yeshua that I can come to Him and get my needs met at any time. But there is something more that has been going on in me lately. It's something deep in the core of my spirit......lead by Ruach Ha`Kodesh. It's a desire for more and more of Yeshua. It's a longing so deep and so profound that I have literally not had words to explain it. People are not understanding how deep this longing and desire and hunger is for the move of G-d I believe is coming our way. Perhaps the only ones who truly understand are the others as hungry as myself. The oil ceases to flow, as in Elijah's time, when there are no more empty vessels to be filled. People who criticize do not sense their need of G-d.
I read about the intercessors that brought the Azusa Street Revival and I believe only they could know what is going on inside me. It is so without words.....to convey the depth of the desire in me to have Yeshua visit us. To be critical of this is so without enlightenment. I pray that the light of heaven flood the souls of those who cannot understand such a desire for Yeshua.
Just as the contractions of a woman's uterus herald the beginning of labor, there are times when G-d's Spirit stirs our souls to seasons of intense travail. We must travail in prayer until G-d's purposes are birthed. That which is conceived of G-d will eventually come to birth. This is an indicator of impending revival.
There are things we must judge in this life. Right from wrong, true from false, light from dark and our own lives. If we cannot judge right from wrong, we don't know if the Bible is true or not. If we cannot judge true from false, we don't know if something came from G-d or not. And if we cannot judge light from dark, we don't know Who G-d even is. And if we don't know any of this, how can we judge ourselves thereby missing judgment?
Arrogance and religiosity are the biggest promoters of the critical spirit. Sin just doesn't cut it anymore. Doesn't it get old? Drop it off. Get rid of the critical spirit. Get rid of having to be right in your own eyes. Be right in His *grin*
I learned one thing many years ago that I will share with you. It is simply: I no longer judge others, and I am free from judgment myself. I have made a commitment to love people in spite of themselves. If I must judge, I judge myself by the Word, as I judge all things to discern truth. I then just keep going toward the prize because HE is more important than anything else.
LOVE is the main thing. This LOVE restores our souls. This LOVE redeems us. This LOVE is without fail. This LOVE is G-d. And I won't stop crying out for more and more of Adonai Yeshua until I am consumed. You can have this LOVE simply by asking Him to take your entire life. Give yourself to Him today. Cry out to Him today as your vital desire. He will answer.

The BBC is making what it describes as "the definitive television history of Auschwitz and the Nazi state", overseen by the man behind its acclaimed wartime documentaries War of the Century and Nazis - A Warning from History.
In a co-production with KCET Hollywood, the corporation is planning to use dramatic techniques and computer simulations such as those employed in recent documentary hits such as Pyramid and Colosseum to bring the full horror of the Nazi concentration camps to the screens.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "We will be using computer graphics to give a feel for the structure and geography of the camp. The dramatisation will deal with the decision making processes and how Auschwitz operated. We are not going to be dramatising the suffering of the Holocaust victims in any way - that would inappropriate."
Unveiling the project at the MipTV festival in Cannes, the corporation's commercial arm, BBC Worldwide, said the story would be retold using dramatic reconstructions of the "key moments of decision" and computer graphics based on original plans of the camp discovered by historians in the 1990s.
Like other recent BBC reconstructions the documentaries will also draw heavily on eyewitness testimonies, using the accounts of Auschwitz survivors to tell the tale.
The series of six 50-minute programmes, which will be aired on BBC2 next year, is being written and produced by Laurence Rees, who also made War of the Century and Nazis - A Warning from History.
Last year War of the Century put the battle between Nazism and Stalinism under the microscope in a four-part series, following on from his Bafta award-winning 1997 series The Nazis - A Warning from History.
The BBC Worldwide chief executive, Rupert Gavin, last night told MediaGuardian.co.uk that following the success of the Walking With Dinosaurs and Colosseum, documentary and factual formats were becoming increasingly popular exports.
Other new documentaries from BBC Worldwide include The Shadow of Ghengis Khan, a co-production with the Discovery Channel and RTL, and a new series from historian Michael Wood with the working title Great Mysteries.
In the former one-off documentary, digital effects will be combined with live action footage shot on location in the Asian Steppes to document the notorious rise to power of Ghenhis Khan.
Great Mysteries, a four-part series, will search for the truth behind some of the world's most famous myths including Shangri-la, the Golden Fleece, the Queen of Shreba and the Holy Grail.

where else do we go?
The Galápagos Islands are, and always will be, our focus. For over 25 years - since 1990 - GALAPAGOS TRAVEL has been sharing the Galápagos Islands with travelers - the islands have become our second home in a way. Galápagos is the place that magically brings us closer to the natural world. To snorkel with playful sea lions, see ageless giant tortoises in the wild, and blue-footed boobies diving together in a coordinated squadron - and all on schedule as set forth in the daily briefing.
Over the years many past Galápagos Travelers have been encouraging us to take them on other great adventures, while keeping our focus on in-depth exploration, wildlife, and really learning about where we we're going.
The Galápagos are a tough act to follow but we've created several new expeditions we think you'll love. It's probably obvious we have a thing for islands. And remote places... Wildlife... History... Cultures... Photography... Please join us on these custom designed small-group expeditions - you will be amazed!
Madagascar; in depth
Much like Galápagos, Madagascar is a place that conjures up images of amazing wildlife - wildlife that is among the best in the world in terms of diversity and abundance, and in some cases is as approachable as the wildlife of Galápagos. The isolation of Madagascar - it broke away from Africa over 150 million years ago - makes it a living laboratory of evolution, with plants and animals found nowhere else on earth - lemurs, chameleons, geckos, frogs, tortoises, and myriad birds.
Neither solely a birding or wildlife tour, nor just a cultural tour, this is a general Natural History tour - a mix of amazing wildlife, spectacular scenery and rich cultural discoveries. Expedition length is roughly 25 days allowing us to take our time experiencing 6 diverse regions plus the capital city. Madagascar is an explorer and photographer's dream in all ways!
Easter Island
Easter Island - Isla de Pascua - Rapa Nui... No matter what one may call the island, it's sure to bring mysterious and surreal images to mind. Images of moai, the enormous stone heads/torsos that dot the landscape (there are nearly 1,000 of them), oft recalled from childhood explorations through back issues of National Geographic magazines.
Working with stellar local guides we offer 2 ways to experience Easter Island; either via an escorted small group expedition, or as a private tour custom designed to fit your schedule. In either case you are sure to be captivated by this remarkable island and its rich history and still-thriving culture. Join us on this most remote inhabited island in the world!
