When it comes to Family & Kids, Microsoft is one company that has done something for them. I have a Windows 10 PC which my son uses, and thanks to Family Feature for Xbox and PC, I know what he is doing, and control how long he gets to use it. Also, Microsoft was first to bring the Child Corner, which latest failed, for Windows 10 Mobile users.
That said, now there is a new patent which has surfaced, and it's about kids. Though it can be extended, kids are going to love it. Named as "CASUAL DIGITAL INK APPLICATIONS", it talks about games or apps running on the lock screen, and can also use a pen or gesture with their fingers. The best part of this type of functionality is letting your kids use a tablet or phone without giving them access to private data.
Imagine games like Hangman, tic-tac-toe, Sudoku etc working on the lock screen, and with a pen. Below is a part of the patent description.
[006]One embodiment illustrated herein includes a method that may be practiced on an active pen capable computing device. The method includes acts for providing casual digital ink experiences on the active pen capable computing device. The method includes detecting an active pen interaction with a screen of the computing device. The computing device comprises a locked lock screen requiring authentication to unlock the lock screen. As a result of detecting the active pen interaction with the screen of the computing device, the method further includes launching a casual digital ink experience without requiring authentication to the computing device, such that the casual digital ink experience is launched without unlocking the lock screen.
[0007] This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
[0008] Additional features and advantages will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by the practice of the teachings herein. Features and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instruments and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. Features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims, or may be learned by the practice of the invention as set forth hereinafter.
MSPU also notes that Gregg Wygonik, one of the designers involved with HoloLens and Xbox One, and is now Principle Designer at Microsoft was also involved with this patent.

Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 and 24-bit Color TS Connections
Okay this is a really weird one! When you install Service Pack 2 on Windows Server 2003 you can no longer connect using MSTSC via Terminal Services (TS)/Remote Desktop(RDP) with a 24-bit color setting. For the customer I was working with this meant that the applications they are hosting on those servers did not look good at all over this down graded connection. For them it meant a blocker to upgrading to SP2. This has gotten more important recently because Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003 is about to be out of support.
So a hunt ensued for how to get this working. It turns out that there was a bug in Service Pack 2 that disable some of these higher bit rates. The bug was corrected in KB – 942610 although this was not apparent that it applied to my problem since the description was different. However it turns out that the same underlying issue was causing both problems. A couple of other changes needed to happen and then everything was working. Here are the steps that I came up with to take a Win2K3 SP2 box and enable 24-bit Color Connections:
Install the following hotfix - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942610
Update the following registry key to enable the fix:
Registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
Registry entry: AllowHigherColorDepth
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Note that I found the hotfix does add this registry key but it had the value set to 0 so it disabled the fix. I had to change it to 1. Also, typical warnings about editing the registry apply. If you go crazy you can toast your box so back up stuff first! For those that are sticklers here is the official warning:
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
322756 How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
- Ensure the TS box is excepting 24-bit connections
- Go to Start->Run
- Type "tscc.msc" and hit enter
- Click "Connections"
- Right click on "Rdp-tcp" and select properties
- Click the "Client Settings" tab
- Ensure that "Limit Maximum Color Depth" is set to 24-bit
- Restart the server to ensure everything is set.
Hope this helps!

Letter from the Editor | Ronnie Mayanja | November 2011
By Ronnie Mayanja | Editor, UNAA Times Online | We are down to the eleventh month of the year 2011 and here in the Northeast it's back to chillier, more inclement weather for yet another fall season. But what a news-packed month October was, at least for Ugandans. For me it was quite a special one too as I got the rare opportunity to be hosted by Dr. Shaka Ssali on Africa's flagship show Straight Talk Africa aired on Voice of America's afiliate stations worldwide. Our topic of discussion centred around Ordinary People, Changing lives on the African Continent.
What perhaps would have been a perfect Independence Day gift turned into a sad affair as Uganda failed yet again to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations, our best opportunity since losing against Ghana's Black Stars in 1978 finals. And so the days of Philip Omondi, Pule Ouma, Jamil Kasirye, Paul Ssali, Jimmy Kirunda, Tom Lwanga, Jimmy Muguwa, Timothy Ayeko and Moses Nsereko, to mention but a few of the names that formed part of that squad, seem long gone, with dashed hopes this year in Africa's most prestigious tournament.
With all that home support and good will at Nambole Stadium, the judgement of the Cranes' coaches came into question for excluding Dennis Obua, a prolific striker, from the qualifier against Kenya (Obua was reportedly kicked off the squad for failing to attend a meeting with Uganda's president). I say that the coaching staff ought to be held accountable.
Within our community I received invitations to two [UNAA] community events and as a journalist I set out to attend both starting with the independence picnic organised by, call it, the original UNAA registered in Massachusetts and later heading to the Hilton hotel for a town hall type meet that seemed to question all aspects of the UNAA legality and system of governance, call them the UNAA dissenters registered in Texas.
Noteworthy was the disparity in the crowds that attended both events. The UNAA MA picnic held in Watertown had over 150 attendees compared to Hilton event where the Mayor of Waltham had also been invited to attend. There at the latter I recorded a head count of fewer than 25 attendees. But by the time I arrived the Waltham mayor had left and the discussion, originally billed as a workshop for finance and health topics, was largely focused on what led this group of dissenters to oppose and register their new association. It then became increasing clear from my observation of the two events that public opinion still favored the original UNAA. In my opinion an organisation that has survived the past 23 years can weather this storm as long as its leaders take the time to address the issues at hand!
News of the fall of Libyan Col. Muammar Gaddafi, killed in a shoot out near his hometown of Sirte came with gruesome images of his killing which went viral and left me wondering why these politicians do not relent.–if they don't take those billions of amassed wealth to the grave why allow themselves such humiliation? And so the "Brother Leader", as he liked to be called, has now passed on to the next life and his rise and fall will soon form part of the history books.
What was also equally disturbing was the lack of decency and the failure to respect all Geneva convention treaties on the treatment of prisoners of war judging from the way the body of Col. Gaddafi was handled in death.
Back home in Uganda there has been a brewing tsunami of accusations and counter-accusations, as oil, and what some would call the oil curse, made its way to Uganda. The corruption scandals involving the oil giants have now brought down some powerful politicians. Some might point to the WikiLeaks scandals. But I applaud our non-partisan 9th Parliament that seems to be rising to the occasion, when compared to past rhetoric and the rubber-stamping attitude for which our previous legislative assemblies were known. The accused have been quick to defend themselves, some citing political witch-hunts. But many question why it has always been the same people named in high corruption scandals, while others will ask how civil servants can amass so much wealth, even if they are cabinet ministers.
With former Vice President Gilbert Bukenya and the so-called untouchables ministers in the dock, this could signal a turning point in Uganda's politics, as some pundits have expressed fears that the regime might implode, with Pres. Museveni approaching retirement and the NRM party dealing with lots of infighting and intrigue. Attention seems to be more centered on the fight against corruption that has become entrenched in all echelons of society and government.
Last month the world mourned and remembered Steve Jobs, the man who put the computer in the palm of our hands and revolutionised the way we buy and listen to music. I could not but marvel that this college drop-out born of a Syrian biological father and adopted by American parents would stir something inside me. What perhaps moved me the most was the advice to "stay hungry, stay foolish" at the conclusion of his Stanford commencement speech. As he rightly noted, death is the great invention that gets rid of the old and makes way for the new. I am also reminded of the story of a father and his son during the former's last moments…
"Soon I will be in the richest place on earth" Believing this to be a Christian reference Johnny had replied "You mean Heaven?" "No, the Cemetery." he answered, breathing deeply "that's where all the unfulfilled Dreams are buried, the unwritten books, the unclimbed mountains, unsung songs, and possibly the cure for aids or cancer." I knew I just heard something totally profound when he continued, "So son, if I can leave you with any wisdom or advice, it would be this: Keep Your Dreams Alive! Chase them till your life's end. Don't let anyone or anything get you off track. It might be difficult at times when no-one else believes in your dream or when it seems like it is not paying off, but stick with them and you won't leave this life with regrets or wondering "what if ?"… Keep The Dream Alive!"
And so I have made it my ambition to follow my dreams and pursue happiness with the belief that one day, if I faint not, I will reap the harvest!
Happy Thanksgiving Day America!

((Apparently Scunci makes a mighty tasty hair accessory aka cat treat.))
My reaction??? Well you know that look a person gets after seeing something that cannot be unseen? The look is often followed by speechlessness or shocking exclamation like, "what the cuss!" Then one eyeball begins to twitch in an uncontrollable spasm... followed by an instant migraine that may or may not be a fatal aneurysm from blood vessels on your brain exploding? So yeah... that happened. Needless to say, all hair elastics have been removed from our home. #diariesofarescuemom #kittenthuglife #whatsinyourcat'spoopershoot? #litterboxconfessions
Hope you have a Rad-ish Monday!
Happy Monday... yes, it's Monday. I triple fact checked. Here is a radish to celebrate. Don't make it awkward by attempting to offer me a Monday gift in return. You cannot one up the radish, it is just that great of a gift so don't even try. What's the radish good for you ask??? Nothing, it is nonfunctional... just sits there and looks like a radish. Yes, I know... best Monday ever. You're welcome!

Out of My Gourd - The Perfect Pout
Pouty McPlumperson's bottom lip is on display 24-7. He adamantly refuses to wear dentures. Instead, the stubborn pumpkin enjoys gumming saltwater taffy while sharing old-timey stories of growing up in the Ozarks, listening to dueling banjos and reminiscing of days long past when he still had a full set of chompers.
The ornery coot is available through the pumpkin relocation program (dentures included). Full disclosure, that is not the trill wind you hear blowing through the trees... he speaks with a pronounced whistle. Also note, due to a narrowed airway, Pouty requires a CPAP machine for sleeping. If considering adoption, please be prepared for a shrill *whistle---hum---whistle---hum* to gently lull you to sleep at night. Some say the sound is more soothing than nails down a chalkboard or the yowl of a cat in heat.

Out of My Gourd - Ankle Biters
Creation is Messy New Color Testing: Peppermint Cream, Egg White, Lemonade, Baked Alaska
(Left to Right: Peace, Peppermint Cream, Egg White, Lemonade, and Baked Alaska)
Peppermint Cream is a soft, muted verdant linen. The color looks to fall between Muskmelon and Dirty Martini in the CiM family. The color could easily be mistaken for a neutral since the hue extremely subtle in nature. The longer the glass is worked in the flame, the more muted the color becomes. Easily molded and keeps a nice crisp edge through the heating process. Fantastic for sculpture and holding detail. No shocking or bubbling occurred during testing.
Egg White is a lemon cream opal. The glass is very similar in color to CiM Lemonade, however not as transparent. During the heating process, the glass appears to be striking yellow, however do not let the butterscotch color fool you. Once annealed, the lovely color of Egg White reappears. On a unique note, when a transparent encasement or lens is layered on Egg White, the glass appears to sparkle from within. I believe it to be the magnification of minute bubbles in Egg White. Still, this is an unexpected, eye catching effect. No shocking or hazing occurred during testing.
Lemonade is a zesty new transparent glass. The fresh color is a welcome addition to the CiM line. True to the name, the color is quite a match for lemonade. No shocking or bubbling occurred during testing.
Baked Alaska is a cupid kissed buttercream. The color can range from light cream to a golden custard with a hint of blush. The glass is perfect for a variety of projects from nature inspired sculptures to the silly spectrum. Looking forward to adding this color to my studio supply. No shocking or bubbling occurred during testing.

Guru Guidance Tips: Annual Performance Reviews
The Scenario
With several years of experience under their belt, the mentee is interested in taking on more responsibilities. Annual performance reviews are coming up, so the mentee asks for suggestions on how to get the most out of this process. What is an appropriate way to solicit candid feedback during the review and discover areas for improvement? If justified, how should the mentee broach the potentially uncomfortable topic of negotiating a raise? And if the mentee is unable to negotiate increased responsibilities and/or pay, how can they gauge whether the timing was simply not right or whether they need to seek opportunities to grow their career at another firm?
Firms have varying approaches to performance reviews
- Some managers give you a chance to describe your accomplishments
- Even if this is not the case, you can keep track of your achievements and milestones – can keep manager informed of your progress throughout the year or provide a compiled list in advance of the review so your manager can be prepared to discuss it with you
- Think about any feedback you would like to give to your manager regarding their role, if you are asked
- There should be no surprises in a performance review. If communication is good all along, the formal review should just be a re-cap.
Never go into a performance review expecting a raise. It is often best not to ask for one outright.
- If your company does not have a formal review process, you can request to meet with your supervisors to discuss accomplishments and establish future goals
- Consistently demonstrate an eagerness to improve and contribute to the firm - a good manager will recognize this attitude and reward progress, when appropriate.
- You could write an ideal future job description to identify what you would like to work toward and engage your manager to help create a plan to get there
- Do not present industry-wide salary benchmarks as justification for a raise
- It is difficult to accurately compare salaries from company to company without knowing more about the responsibilities and career levels of the survey respondents.
- Be mindful of the economy before asking for a raise
- It helps to be open to considering other, non-cash benefits as well, if the firm is able to offer them – e.g. an extra vacation day or half days on one Friday a month during the summer

I have recently come across an article published in the Havana Journal web site back in 2004 (relevant quotes below). While the "news" may be old, the revisionist history by Alicia Alonso is consistent with her strategy for the past 50 years. In actuality Alberto Alonso, Fernando's brother and Alicia's former brother-in-law, was the creator of the Cuban style of ballet. The Cuban ballet movement was the result of the collaboration between Alicia as the dancer, Fernando as the teacher and Alberto as the Choreographer.
Because Alberto refused to condone the censorship of his work by the Cuban government (most notably in his seminal work Carmen Suite) he was essentially written out of the official history of the Cuban Ballet movement. Alberto and his wife Sonia, defected to the United States in 1992, after their son arrived in Florida on a raft.
Alberto spent the last 12 years of his life teaching at Santa Fe College in North Central Florida. As a result of his long tenure here, the College produced a documentary about his work. Actually not so much a documentary as a journey through his life both past and present.
You can view the web site about the film at http://www.sfcollege.edu/danceofmyheart . The film has been in several film festivals, most recently in Havana, Cuba which was interesting to say the least. As I metnioned in a previous post, the film and ballet will be shown together for the first time in Miami on March 28 and 29, 2009. The ballet will be performed by the Cuban Classical Ballet Company after a screening of the film.
We are trying to set the record straight on the history of the Cuban Ballet and the important role all three Alonso's played in its creation.
From the article in 2004, quotes from Alicia Alonso:
"The Cuban style comes from deep within the Cuban spirit, from our joys and from our sadness,'' Alonso says. "Some people are turned inward. The Cubans are always out, sensual. The Cuban ballet style comes from me, from my way of projecting my whole being.
''What looks natural on the Soviets,'' she says, ''would have looked mimetic, like a mannerism on us. We had a hard time explaining that to our Soviet friends.'' Alonso refused Russian ballet teachers ''except for character dances: They

A Sociological Study That's Actually Needed
After reading about the latest nonsense from anti-vaccine parents, I wondered about the following questions:
- What drugs are they on?
- What drugs were they on in college?
- What universities did they attend?
- What did they major in?
- What companies do they work for?
- Did those companies need bail-outs?
Addendum: They appear to be only high-school graduates. Maybe college is still worth something after all …

Bonnie-Jo Gets Caned
Apparently you can "play-slap" your boyfriend too many times:
We had just returned from a garage sale from which we had purchased a round, solid wood table for our apartment. College Guy put a pillow on the table, and positioned me against it. "Keep your hands right here, don't move them, keep your body on the table. Keep your feet down." He slipped my dress up over my hips, and I gripped the tables edge in my hands and thought that when I purchased the table at the garage sale, I had no idea what a good buy it was.
I lay there quietly, perhaps whimpering a bit. The emotion of the scene was the type I tend to really crave every once in awhile and the type College Guy does not tend to dish out that often. He traced my bottom with the cane, then began tiny test- thwacks with it, not really a teasing action, but more of a sinister one. Like a cat playing with a mouse before he eats it.
The first cane stroke or two were normal. Painful, scary, but not too bad. The truth is, for some reason, ever since we moved in together, the cane had not been hurting like it had in the past, So I wasn't as horrified as I possibly should have been.
Then, something happened that has never happened before.
He drew back and let that cane rip. It was only one blow, but it hit higher than he has possibly ever hit me before, at the very top of my bottom. It was high, and it hurt. The skin there is somehow so much more sensitive to cane strokes, I guess.
One blow had never hurt me that much before. And I broke my hold on the table and stood up straight for a second. Somehow, though, I didn't end up sitting on the floor telling him I wanted to be done. The next second I was positioned back on the table (I really can't remember if I just went back or if he pushed me back down.) But I was sobbing. Sobbing from one cane stroke.

IDEAs That Provide a Solution When the Courts Have Disabled the System 67
reasonable could be decided on a case by case basis, determined by specific facts and needs of the
individual child, and balanced with the resources of the school district. This balancing test would
also be in line with Rowley, where the Court noted that, if there were insufficient funds to provide
for the desirable programs needed by the child with disabilities, then the funds that are available
should be apportioned so that no child is entirely excluded from a public education.212
Public education is a public benefit to which everyone should have equal access. Special
education is not about equal outcomes, but rather about making accommodations that are
reasonable, so the child has the ability to learn alongside his or her peers. However, "an ineffective
'modification' or 'adjustment' will not accommodate a disabled individual's limitations."213 For
students with disabilities, that means providing accommodations to give the child an opportunity
to learn alongside his or her peers.
If IDEA is about access to education and not about results, then why not have Ella's mom
file a discrimination claim against the school? The Supreme Court answered this question in a
recent case, Fry v. Napoleon Community Schools.214 While the IDEA makes clear that it does not
prohibit the rights and remedies afforded under other federal laws, it limits relief under those other
laws for lawsuits where relief can be granted under the IDEA.215 The Supreme Court held in Fry
that if the essence of the plaintiff's suit is the denial of the IDEA's core guarantees of a FAPE,
then a parent must exhaust the IDEA's administrative procedures under the Act.216 Exhaustion of
the IDEA's procedures is necessary when the plaintiff seeks relief that is available under the
IDEA.217 Courts are to look at the substance of the claims to set aside any attempt at artful
Additionally, the education of children with disabilities is also about post-secondary skills.
One of the overall goals of the IDEA and its predecessors is to keep children with disabilities in
the regular classroom as much as possible. While for some children with disabilities self-sufficiency in their adult life is out of reach, that does not mean that the school and parents should
not aim to teach the student skills that the child can use in their adult life. Sometimes, this is simply
the skill of interacting and getting along with peers. This is why being integrated into the classroom
as much as possible, without impairing the other students from the education owed to them, is
crucial in any analysis and implementation of IEPs.
To ensure that the term "reasonable" does not create more ambiguity, "reasonable" should
be judged by looking at what the school district can financially afford to provide, as well as using
grant funding to cover disparities. Once fiscal limitations were reached, further accommodations
would not be available. The legislature should put a clause into the IDEA barring the taking of
dollars spent per child without IEPs and reallocating them to children with IEPs. Instead, each
state should use a formula to set forth how much money each school would have to make these
accommodations (taking into account how many children with IEPs there were in the previous
year in each district). Once that amount is reached, the school should apply for a supplemental
budget and grants to cover additional costs. Once the school has shown that it has made all efforts
and exhausted their resources, no further accommodations could be made for that year. This
method makes it easier to hold schools accountable. In order to prevent a school from having to

What about not going?
Well, if your body has stresses placed upon it, it will continue to adapt in many ways. This can eventually create undue stress on the spinal nerves impairing optimal function of your nervous system and related areas. If not eliminated these problems may continue to stress the body and deprive you of adequate health. However, waiting until you have symptoms can take longer to relieve the symptoms and correct the problem.

The Florida Department of Agriculture has confirmed the presence of New World Screwworm in a stray dog from Homestead, FL. Screwworms are screw-shaped larvae or maggots of the parasitic Screwworm fly that can infest animals through an open wound and feed on the animal's living flesh. The aggressive screwworm differs from other parasitic maggots. Most fly maggots eat only superficially infected or dead flesh around an animal's wound, but the screwworm maggots burrow deeper into healthy tissue. The tissue-eating maggots feed on the normal flesh, causing severe damage to the tissue. If not caught and treated in time, death can result.
Miami-Dade Animal Services offers these tips to help keep your pet safe from screwworm:
Check Your Pets
If you have an outdoor pet, check them daily. If your pet has any open wounds, make sure that the wound is treated by your veterinarian. It is best to keep the pet indoors until the wound heals to avoid exposure. However, if you have to leave your pet outside, make sure that the wound is completely covered so that flies cannot get to it. Remember, screwworms like to lay their eggs in open wounds.
Pet's Wound Looks Odd
Take your pet to the veterinarian immediately! Screwworms can be treated if caught in time. Your pet will NOT be taken from you, but needs to have the wound treated by a veterinarian. Your pet will need both antibiotics and pain medications as screwworms are painful.
There is no over the counter medicine that you can put on your pet if it gets infected. Remember, screwworms dig deep into the pet's tissue, therefore it is important to obtain treatment from your veterinarian.
To learn more about screwworms, please visit FreshFromFlorida.com/Screwworm or contact the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services at 1-800-HELP-FLA (1-800-435-7350).

Harrisburg –Sen. Bob Mensch (R-24) and fellow members of the Senate Appropriations Committee are set to begin reviewing the $34.1 billion state budget proposed today by Gov. Tom Wolf.
The Governor's budget proposal includes a $927.3 million (2.8 percent) increase in state spending from the current fiscal year.
"I'm pleased that Governor Wolf is not requesting any broad-based tax increases for Pennsylvanians. We need to continue focusing on ways to improve the efficiency of our government," said Mensch.
"We have begun to implement performance-based budgeting measures though legislation I authored, Act 48 of 2017, and these measures go beyond simply setting spending levels. Instead, it develops measures to grade the outcomes of expenditures for state agencies and tax credit programs," he said. "With such measurements, we can eliminate unnecessary spending and adjust programs to achieve their stated purpose. I look forward to utilizing these performance measures and working with the state departments during the budget hearings."
The Senate Appropriations Committee will hold a three-week series of Departmental Budget Hearings beginning on February 19. The hearings provide an opportunity for the Appropriations Committee to hear cabinet secretaries and other Administration officials detail their plans for the upcoming fiscal year. The state's current fiscal year ends on June 30.

Trip FAQs & Notes
Here you will find the answers to the questions our travelers most frequently ask about this trip. If you do not find the answer to your specific question, please contact us directly ( email@example.com ).
1. Is this Tibet tour private? Can I customize a Tibet private tour?
Yes, it is. Our private tour is also completely customizable depending on your interests and needs.
Only you and your family, friends or colleagues in this group to visit the destinations listed on the itinerary escorted by a personal English-speaking tour guide and vehicle with an experienced local driver.
2. How can I reserve this private tour? How to pay?
You can reserve the tour by any of your convenient ways: via email (email@example.com), phone (86-182 1104 4601 / +86-10-6800 2460) or come to our office.
We offer many payment ways: via PayPal, Credit Card, cash, etc. Read more payment guide.
3. How should I apply Chinese visa? Will you travel agency help with that?
Normally you need to go to the local Chinese embassy, and ask them what you should to prepare. And in some countries, they need invitation from China, so you can ask the Chinese travel agent to provide you the travel invitation, and then prepare some other documents, most time you can get the Chinese visa soon. And also you should apply the visa valid duration time based on your travel time, 15days, 30days or 90days.
4. What travel permits do I need to apply for if I travel to Tibet?
There are several kinds of travel permits in Tibet. Firstly, you only need a TTB (Tibet Tourism Bureau) permit if you just want to have a few days in Lhasa city or some places near Lhasa.
Secondly, if you want to travel outside of Lhasa, like Mt. Everest, Tsedang, Nyingchi, you need PSB (Public Security Bureau) permit for which we could help you to apply for.
5. When do I need to apply for the Tibet travel Permit?
You need to apply for the travel permit at least 15-20 days prior to your entry date, which means you should prepare all the information and documents in hand before this period of time.
6. How much is a Tibet permit?
Please note that we never just sell a permit as this is illegal. We only help you apply a permit from the TTB. The cost of a permit includes both the charge by the government and the service fees by our travel agency. The cost will be calculated into the quote of the whole tour package including tour guide and other items.
7. What is the weather like in Lhasa and when is the best time to travel there?
Lhasa has highland temperature semi-arid monsoon climate and vary greatly within one day. In a year, it is said the suitable time for traveling to Tibet is from April to October while the golden time is August and September. However, if you can bear the cold weather a winter tour is dollar-saving and you can avoid the crowds.
8. What should I bring while traveling to Lhasa?
Due to various temperatures, we suggest that you bring casual style and layered clothing; sunglasses, sun cream and hat because Lhasa has over 3,000 hour's sunshine per year. Down coat is necessary if you go beyond Lhasa and Shigatse to remote areas, e.g. the Everest Camp or further to Mt.Kailash.
9. What are accommodations like in Lhasa?
Although Tibet Tourism has developed fast, and various levels of hotels are settled down in the midtown, hotel facilities and service standard may not be as you would expect from a hotel in other cities in China. Staff will probably not speak much English. Many hotels just have a public bathroom with squat toilet.
10. Will there be problems with the language barrier?
When you travel with us in Lhasa, you needn't worry about the language barrier, although the locals usually communicate with Tibetan, not mandarin. We will arrange an English-speaking tour guide who can speak Tibetan, mandarin and are familiar with all attractions of Lhasa.

Although China is not a tips country, it will be better for people to tip the guide and driver if you think they provide you good service, it is not compulsive but it will show that you are gentle and polite.

Wilmington partner Michael J. Maimone was quoted in Law360 on the impact of two major Delaware Chancery Court rulings on merger litigation.
The two decisions, Corwin v. KKR Financial Holdings LLC and In re Trulia Inc. Shareholder Litigation, have changed the landscape of how and where plaintiffs bring suits related to corporate deals. Mike commented on what these decisions reveal about the Chancery Court's requirements for considering such actions, how the changes may play out in federal courts, and potential downsides to the court's shift in philosophy.
Mike noted that "The Delaware courts are requiring plaintiffs to do more. I think what the Chancery Court is saying is, 'We are open for business, but we want to address meritorious actions,' and the plaintiffs bar is reading that as deal litigation is dead."

Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller Preview The Spectacular Now in NYC
Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller joined director James Ponsoldt at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City for a screening of their new movie, The Spectacular Now. The film is coming-of-age story based off of Tim Tharp's bestselling novel, and tells the story of Sutter Keely (Teller), a hard-partying popular teenage boy, who falls in love with Aimee Finicky (Woodley), a nerdy girl outside of his crowd. "It's very human. It's very truthful and honest," Woodley told InStyle.com at the Sundance Film Festival. "I think that this film explores what it's like to be an adolescent today, and I don't think it's necessarily for teenagers. I think it's more of a movie for adults. It explores very realistic things." Already garnering buzz after a well-received Sundance debut -- both Woodley and Teller received special jury prizes for their performances -- the film is shaping up to be one of summer's must-see movies. Click here to watch the trailer, and be sure to catch The Spectacular Now when it opens nationwide, Friday, August 2.

Biomedics XC Reviews
Very pleased with my Biomedics XC contacts
Wearing Biomedics XC contacts for a week or 2 is the perfect duration to wear contacts. I love how easy it is to switch them out, and pop them right back in.
Biomedics XC so cheap
Being able to buy Biomedics XC lenses at the price I did was a great feeling. Who doesn't love low prices?
Biomedics XC are comfortable all day long
My daughter had constantly complained about dry eyes before switching to Biomedics XC contacts. To my relief, she no longer has any problems and is comfortable all day long.
Very imrpessed ordering my Biomedics XC
Great price on these Biomedics XC contacts! The service here was also very helpful, and had my lenses delivered in no time.
Biomedics XC are perfect for my hardcore life
My active lifestyle demands that I have a contact lens that is able to make it through the day, no matter what. Biomedics XC lenses have been able to do this, and will continue to do so as long as I wear them.
only contacts I wear
These are the only contacts I have ever worn that have felt like there is nothing in my eye. Other brands I have tried had claimed that their contacts would feel this way, but that is not the case with all of the ones I have previously worn. Biomedics XC contacts will always feel great.
never disappointed ordering my lenses here
I have been a customer of Biomedics XC lenses for some time now. I bought these here because the service is awesome and my contacts always come in on time.
exceptional quality with Biomedics XC
These are easier to put in than other lenses, and they keep their shape and do not fold. There is never any itching with these lenses either, as they are very comfortable. I love my Biomedics XC contacts!
wonderful service and great contacts
Thanks for the great service and speedy delivery of my Biomedics XC lenses! I got a fantastic product at an even better cost, so I couldn't be happier with my experience.
Great vision and comfort with Biomedics XC
I made the switch to Biomedics XC contact lenses 1 year ago, and thus far I have been extremely impressed with the results. My eyes feel great, and my vision seems to have improved.
Super cheap prices and awesome services
I have been shopping on this site for years and it never disappoints! The low prices are the best around, and the customer service is second to none. An easy way to buy my Biomedics XC contact lenses!
I got Biomedics XC cheaper than my doctors offic
I definitely recommend wearing Biomedics XC contact lenses. These are great overall contacts, and I found that buying them online was much easier and cheaper than going to the doctor.
Biomedics XC were a good change for my dry eyes
Dry eyes have been a problem of mine for as long as I can remember. One day my doctor told me about Biomedics XC contacts, so I thought I would try them out, hoping to give my eyes some moisture. They did just that, and I have been using them ever since!
Biomedics XC were a great change for me
I constantly feel the strain on my eyes from looking at my computer from hours on end, so when I first started using Biomedics XC lenses, I was surprised when I no longer felt the strain. These contacts really do work!
The only way to go
My son had not been able to wear any contacts because of EXTREMELY dry eyes! The last ones he tried, he went through an entire eye drop bottle in just a week! We thought he'd be in glasses for a very long time! When his doctor told us about Coopervision Biomedics XC contacts, we thought it was at least worth a try. Now he doesn't need any eye drops! It's a blessings seeing him mature into a young adult not having to deal with the 'glasses' issue.
Extremely comfortable lens for tired or dry eyes!
I have worn lenses for many, many years and have tried several different brands. I tend to have dry eyes and occasionally suffer from itchiness related to allergies. I spend an insane amount of time doing computer work and most days by the afternoon my eyes were dry, irritated and bloodshot. I rarely slept with my lenses on but even in the morning my eyes were glowing red. It got to the point that I thought I might never again see the whites of my eyes without going to some incredibly overpriced lens. Then my doctor had me try a sample pair of Biomedics XC contacts and I the releif was immediate! After only one day my eyes felt better, less strained and they weren't red at all! The one negative thing I can comment on is the lenses are very sensitive and using them with the peroxide cleaner tends to weaken them and they usually would tear within a week. I went back to a regular solution with very gentle rubbing and have had great results. I would definately tell anyone who experiences dry contact eyes to sample the Biomedics XC contact lenses and see if they work for you.
Product Information
Convenience and comfort are two major features that contact lens wearers seek when shopping for a new brand of contact lenses. Of course, they cant leave out vision correcting performance either; after all, its the reason for wearing contact lenses in the first place. Luckily, Biomedics XC offers all of these features and then some more. Biomedics contact lenses, manufactured by the trusted eye care professionals at CooperVision, are truly cutting-edge corrective lenses. The lenses are made from phosphoryl choline or PC for short. While the name may look and sound complicated, the reason for using this substance is actually quite simple. PC molecules are found in the cell membranes of humans, which makes Biomedics XC contact lenses highly compatible with the human eye.
PC material also does an amazing job of enveloping itself in moisture and maintaining that moisture throughout the day. This means that the eyes stay comfortable all day long. Those who work in dry environments or spend long days looking at computer screens can benefit greatly from the all-day moisture of Biomedics XC. Another reason to love Biomedics contact lenses is that theyre aspherical contacts. If you havent heard of aspheric lenses its probably due to the fact that theyre a relatively new concept. This type of lens was created to enhance sharpness and clarity. While traditional contact lenses have an overall spherical curvature, aspheric lenses have varying curvatures over the lens surface. This subtle graduation in curvature precisely focuses light coming into the eye.
Build-up on contact lenses can cause a lot of irritation for wearers. Since Biomedics XC are disposable contact lenses, theres little chance for build-up or protein deposits to cause irritation and discomfort. Biomedics XC are 1-2 week disposable contact lenses, which means each pair can be worn for 1 to 2 weeks before being replaced with a brand new pair. By following this simple routine, your eyes stay fresh, healthy, and comfortable. In addition, to keep irritation to an absolute minimum, the surface of Biomedics XC are designed to resist aggravating deposits.
If youre seeking comfortable and clear contact lenses that are less likely to cause irritation, then Biomedics contact lenses may be your new go-to contact lens. If youre also looking for the best value on your contact lenses then no look further Lens.com regularly checks competitors sites to ensure that were giving our customers the best value. With hassle-free returns, 100% money-back customer satisfaction, and quick shipping, you cant go wrong with purchasing your contact lenses from Lens.com.

Chugiak girls look to future after fourth-place finish
Having just finished fourth in the state tournament with an impressive 66-47 win against West Anchorage in the ASAA/First National Bank Alaska 4A Girls Basketball State Championships, sixth-year Chugiak coach Ryan Hales has reason to be optimistic for the future with his family of young athletes.
Sophomore and all-tournament selection Chasity Horn stayed hot throughout the tournament, finishing with 20 points against the Eagles last Saturday, which followed a career-high 30 against Ketchikan to reach the consolation bracket final.
Horn averaged 23.3 points in three games.
Freshmen Caitlin Wachmann and Ariana Lewis contributed 10 each and junior Eva Palmer tossed in nine in the fourth-place game against West.
The Mustangs raced out to a 25-10 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. They were hot from downtown shooting nearly 46 percent on 11 of 24 attempts. Wachmann and Cheyenne Young were 2-of-2 each for the Mustangs, who also forced 26 turnovers with 21 steals led by Horn's 6 and Palmer's 4.
Their 18 regular-season wins built on totals of 16 and 15 in the previous two years.
"We've just constantly been able to put ourselves in a situation to compete, have a positive outcome, and have the kids buy into our system, Hale said."
Hales's system is one that emphasizes a family approach.
"It's not just about basketball to us," said Hales.
"I always say this to my kids: 'If you give me your heart, I'll give you mine.' It's that full commitment, right. You've got to commit to your team, you have to commit to your family, you have to give 100 percent."
Hales will have 10 returning players next year to augment a core of Palmer, Layla Beam and Horn. With Houser our against Ketchikan, Beam cleaned the glass for 13 boards.
"What I'm excited about," said Hales, "is we're super young."
"Last year we had six seniors and we lost in the first round to East, which was tough, but to lose all that experience and to come back as strong as we did and still get fourth place, I'm really impressed with our kids."
Leaving the team will be seniors Gina Kodiak and leading rebounder Patricia Houser. Houser's offense was missed in the final half of tournament play when she re-injured her shoulder.
"Tricia's a heck of an athlete, if she we're at 100 percent, we might have been able to finish even better than fourth," said Hales.
Houser, who sat out a year after transferring from East, was impressed with the family atmosphere at Chugiak.
"It felt like a family to me, of all the teams I have played with, this is the one I've been closest to," she said.
With 10 returning players there will be a lot of familiar faces for Hales and after their consecutive appearances in the state tournament, and a regular season record that has seen year-to-year improvement, the family is looking young, talented and strong for the future.
Chugiak 49, Ketchikan 30
Horn matched Ketchikan's 30 points with a career-high effort to put the Mustangs in the fourth-place game of the ASAA/First National Bank Alaska 4A Basketball State Championships with a 49-30 victory last Friday afternoon.
After a slow start in round one, there was no problem in the consolation bracket as Chugiak jumped out to a 16-8 lead after the first quarter and led 27-14 at half.
Neither team shot well, with Ketchikan going 11 of 42 and Chugiak not much better at 15 of 64, but the Mustangs' defense forced 24 turnovers to account for the disparity in shot attempts.
The big difference was from downtown as Horn shot 6 of 8 from 3-point range and her teammates went 0 for 12. Ketchikan made just 1 of 10 from deep to account for most of the final scoring margin.
With Patricia Houser sidelined with an injured shoulder, Layla Beam cleaned the glass with 13 rebounds. Horn and Caitlin Wachmann grabbed 8 boards each.
No other Mustang scored more than 5 points but they combined to outrebound Ketchikan 45-21.
"She had a phenomenal game," said Hales of Horn, who added that his pregame conversation with the team included the reminder that "there is no tomorrow, we have to perform."
Chugiak faced West Anchorage, who beat West Valley 55-45 earlier in the day for fourth place.
Chugiak 43, Wasilla 52
The Chugiak Mustangs started out slowly in the first half of their first round game against Wasilla last Thursday night.
They started so slowly that their first field goal came with just over a minute to go in the first quarter when they trailed by a 21-5 margin.
The Mustangs were rarely able to penetrate the Warriors' defense in the first quarter, and when they did, the ball seldom fell in for them as they went 14 of 34 for the game.
"We came out flat," said Hales.
The Mustangs began to reel in the Warriors, cutting the deficit to 11 by the end of the half, but the struggles continued in the third when Patricia Houser, their major inside force, re-injured her shoulder on a fall near the basket.
After attempting to re-enter the game, she left for good, keeping an ice bag company for the rest of the proceedings.
"We are a completely different team without Patricia," said Hales, understating the issue.
The Mustangs are also completely different when one of their leading scorers is held off the board, as happened to junior Palmer.
Despite playing hard defense all night, she struggled offensively against the Warriors, especially the taller Olivia Davies who guarded her throughout.
Their grit showed in the stats, as the Mustangs out-rebounded the Warriors on the offensive boards by an 9-2 margin, and kept pace in overall rebounds at 20-19.
They made four fewer field goals than the Warriors, and three fewer free throws for the difference.
Horn led the Mustangs with 20 points, starting and ending the second half with dramatic long-range threes and aggressively driving the lane in the second half. Lewis dropped in 8 points, Beam 4 and Carolina Houser had 2.
