Some 1,600kms separate the dramatic mountains along the Chinese border – reaching over 3,000m and where snow is not unknown – to the tropical Mekong Delta lying between the warm waters of the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea.
Vietnam boasts not only some of Southeast Asia's best natural sites, with the 'Tonkinese Alps' and incredible Halong and Bai Tu Long Bays of the north, past the stunning, pristine beaches and fascinating Central Highlands region to the picturesque beauty of the Delta, but in bustling Saigon and graceful Hanoi, 2 of the regions great cities and in imperial Hue and well preserved Hoi An, 2 of it's most historic towns.
The country's improving, but still often basic, transport infrastructure and relative lack of tourist facilities outside of the most popular destinations can make Vietnam relatively difficult for independent travel and indeed the sheer size of the country makes even organized tours less than easy. It would take months to try and see everything!
Just a few of our favourite things to see, do and experience in Vietnam
The capital - a fascinating mix of elegant, colonial period avenues and the narrow, bustling lanes of the old quarter
Halong Bay
UNESCO sites - our tours include no less than 6 of Vietnam's World Heritage sites; Halong Bay, Trang An, Hue, Hoi An, My Son and the citadel of Hanoi
Mountain scenery - the dramatic landscapes of the rugged Tonkinese Alps and its myriad, colourful, montagnard inhabitants
the Mekong Delta
The Delta - travel by boat through the picturesque maze of waterways, floating markets and orchards
Food - sample one of Southeast Asia's most varied and distinctive cuisines in pavement cafes, markets and restaurants
Culture and Customs
Knowing what to expect from local culture and customs will help you get more out of your Vietnam tour
Vietnam has a lengthy northern frontier with China before turning south between Laos & the China Sea. Further south Cambodia replaces Laos while the coast line veers north along the Gulf of Thailand
A long thin coastline broken by river valleys stretches from a northern bulge of the Tonkinese Alps rising to over 3,000m, to the waterways and rice paddies of the Mekong Delta in the far south
Highly variable as you'd expect from a 2,000 km long country from the steamy, tropical heat of the Delta to high mountains in the far north where even snow & ice are not unheard of
Much more homogeneous post Vietnam War when many Muslims, Christians & urban Chinese fled, Vietnam today still houses substantial Khmer minorities in the Delta & montagnard peoples in the far north
Largely 'folk beliefs' derived from a combination of Taoism, Confucianism & ancestor worship with Buddhism & Christianity important minorities & the unique Caodaism in the far south
Despite strong Chinese influences the unique, usually mild, subtle & varied flavours of Vietnamese cuisine make it a consistent favourite among visitors to Southeast Asia

Frequently Asked Questions
Question #1
When's the best time to go to Vietnam?
The weather in Vietnam is complex – its such a long thin country that if you are touring the whole country, you are almost always going to get good and bad weather. In Spring (February to April) and Autumn (August to October) the temperatures are more moderate and rainfall is lighter.
Question #2
What innoculations do I need?
For most of Southeast Asia, there are no compulsory inoculations – however, Hep A , Polio, Typhoid and Tetanus are recommended. If you are considering anti-malarials we recommend you consult a health professional, but whatever you do or don't do about anti-malarials, we recommend a 50% DEET based insect repellent. A useful resource for information on travel health is http://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/
Question #3
Do you recommend your tours for people travelling on their own?
Our small group tours make ideal holidays for solo travellers. Small fully escorted groups, eating together family style, no compulsory single supplements all go towards making you feel like you are travelling with a group of friends. If you don't want to share then ask about single room supplements.
Question #4
If we book flights through you, which airlines do you use?
We are happy to book your flights from the UK to Vietnam. There are no direct flights but we can offer a wide range of options, from regional airports as well as London using most major airlines – most often Thai, Emirates and Qatar. Prices on the website are a guideline and we find the best prices and routes for you. Upgrades to Premium Economy or Business class are available.
Question #5
What's your policy for tipping?
Tipping is discretionary. People always appreciate a gesture for their hard work and dedication but staff are paid and don't rely on tips. Its hard to give a guideline before a tour as it does depend on the group size. The tour leaders don't collect money for tips but are happy to advise. ~What often works well is if the group appoint someone to collect and distribute tips on behalf of the whole group.
Question #6
How do I pay for the holiday, and is there a surcharge for credit cards?
We ask you to pay a 10% deposit upon booking your holiday with the balance being due 60 days prior to departure. There is no surcharge for paying by credit card. There is no charge for debit cards. We accept most major credit cards including American Express.
Packing Guide
Packing light is a virtue, it'll make getting around easier and gives you room for souvenirs and the special things you find along the way. Packing "as little as possible" doesn't mean you have to forego comfort and any items you may forget are usually available locally for a fraction of the price.
What to Bring

- Day pack/small pack Sufficient to carry water, sun block, camera etc

Hello and Welcome!
I'm Amy Trueblood and I write Young Adult and Adult fiction. I grew up in Southern California and Arizona. After graduating from college with a degree in journalism, I lived in Los Angeles and worked as an NBC page before returning to Arizona to start a career in advertising.
My wild life has allowed me to live in many places including Nashville (for six years), and it's true what they say, it's very easy to pick up the accent. While living in Music City, I worked for Ingram Book Group and fell in love with the world of publishing and writing after reading an ARC (advanced reading copy) of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Shortly thereafter, I started writing my first Young Adult novel and I haven't stopped writing since!
Fun facts about me…
- I'm the youngest of five. I spent a ton of time hidden in forts built in my closet, reading and listening to those small records that were included in Disney books. I'm certain this is where my love of storytelling began!
- While working in advertising, one of my agency's accounts was Paramount. I was fortunate enough to see many movies before they were officially released. One of them was Forrest Gump and I knew after the screening it was going to win a ton of awards.
- The year Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire was released I had to monitor bookstores and make sure they didn't open the sealed boxes and sell the books before their official release date!
- I know most of the lyrics to every Depeche Mode song, and I make crazy playlists for every single book I write!
A few of my favorite things…
- Arnold Palmers (Flavored ice tea + lemonade). I can't write without it!
- Alternative Music (Snow Patrol, Arctic Monkeys, Young The Giant, Arcade Fire, Halsey, Cage The Elephant)
- Red Vines (Sorry, Twizzlers taste like cherry-coated plastic to me)
- Cassandra Clare's CITY OF BONES – I've read it 10+ times!
Two of my favorite pieces of writing advice:
- DO NOT compare your journey to other writers. We all have our own path.
- Surround yourself with writing friends. In good times, and bad, you're going to need them!
My favorite writing craft books:
- Outlining Your Novel by K.M. Weiland
- Writing the Breakout Novel by Donald Maass
- On Writing by Stephen King
- Save The Cat by Blake Snyder
- Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott

Kochi, Oct 7 (IANS) Two suspected members of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), picked up by a special investigating team (SIT), were remanded to judicial custody by a court here Tuesday.The two, identified as Abdul Hakkim and Shameer, were arrested Monday and interrogated by a team headed by deputy inspector general T. Vinod Kumar at the Police Club.
They were produced at the Paravur magistrate court which remanded them in judicial custody for 14 days.
The two had allegedly taken part in a SIMI meeting at Wagamon in Idukki district of Kerala in December 2007 where the plan to bomb several places in the country was made, according to the police.
They were arrested earlier for taking part in a SIMI meeting near Aluva in Kochi in August, 2006.
Following a series of terrorist strikes across the country in recent months, the Kerala police last month constituted the SIT as reports indicated SIMI activists had met in Wagamon ahead of the serial bomb blasts.

Endian Converged Billing Engine (ECBE)
Billing is a crucial element towards customer experience and trust on Service Providers. Each time an incorrect bill/invoice is produced a customer looses the trust and the brand of the Service Provider is impacted. As such much emphasis should be noted that Billing is an engine and not a system. The whole notion of billing consumes data from CRM, Product, Contracts and associated Business Processes of the Service Provider organization.
Endian Systems has developed a flexible Billing Engine called Endian Converged Billing Engine (ECBE) based on open standards and capability of integration. It is based on Event Driven Archictecture and rules definition. The engine also brings in Human Task architecture in which a human task is an integral part of the Business Process with a system of accountability.
ECBE is equiped with parallel processing making it performance aware and each bill/invoice generation is a autonomous. If an issue is found with a customer bill or a dispute is logged by a customer it does not stop processes for other customers. The engine also alows processing of line items autonomously, meaning a customer could lodge a dispute on a particular product's line item.
Service Providers have ease of billing with ECBE and faster time to integrate new products or modify existing tarrifs for products. It is geared to accommodate Next Generation automated device and manual metering systems. This flexibility is enabled by the data transformation layer of the Endian Systems Software Development Framework.
Health and Safety
Endian Systems has developed a system that is positioned as a pioneer in the management of the Occupational Health and Safety process within companies. Health and safety management within organizations is increasingly becoming a critical component of senior management's liability and responsibility. Proof of an effective process will be required by the courts in any case of an injury on duty. Failure to produce such proof can prove costly in terms of reputation and financial consequence. An effective Health and Safety process ultimately:
- Reduces the risk of downtime as a result of injuries on duty.
- Contributes towards developing a culture of culture and continuous organizational improvement.
- Improves the organizational safety record.
The product was developed specifically to manage the entire Occupational Health and Safety lifecycle:
- Planning of organizational Health and Safety policy.
- Measuring the implementation of the policy.
- Provide feedback that can be used in the review of policy.
- Conducting Health and Safety checks.
- Identifying hazards.
- Managing identified risks and hazards (including rating the risks and hazards as well as applying and reviewing controls).
- Rating company compliance according to an easy to follow colour coded scheme, ensuring that organizations are immediately aware of the level of risk exposure they are facing and which areas require their immediate attention.
- Managing emergency procedures.
- Managing the handling and disposal of hazardous chemicals and other materials.

Download and print a copy of the course approval form needed to be completed for any exchange or direct enroll programs.
After students have been accepted into a study abroad program, they will need to work with their academic advisor and/or the appropriate college contact for study abroad course approvals. Depending on the subject area of the course taken abroad, a student's credit will come back in one of the following two ways:
Visit the MSU Office of the Registrar Study Abroad Partner Programs page for university specific information on credit transfer and grade/credit conversion. Specific subject areas listed in each partner university's page will come back as graded credit. Courses taken in any subjects that are NOT listed will come back as transfer credit. You can find a list of courses that have previously been approved for transfer credit on www.transfer.msu.edu.
If there is a course that a student wants to take but is not listed on the MSU Office of the Registrar Study Abroad Partner Programs page or www.transfer.msu.edu, students need to receive approval from their academic advisor and/or the appropriate MSU college contact.
When a student contacts/meets with someone for course approval, they are instructed to have relevant course descriptions from the host university. Links to course descriptions can be found at the bottom of the "details" tab of each program page on the Office of Study Abroad Website.
These representatives have been appointed by their respective college to provide advice and guidance on education abroad to their majors. They can advise on academic matters, answer questions about programs sponsored by their college, and provide enrollment support such as signing Course Approval Forms.
Official foreign transcripts from the host university are sent directly to the Office of Study Abroad, and can take up to four months after the program end date, depending on the host university academic calendar and processing. Once OSA has received the official foreign transcript from the host university, it will be uploaded to the student's online study abroad application portal, and then evaluated for course, grade, and credit conversions. If any courses on the transcript do not have approved course equivalencies, the student must seek additional approval(s).

This marks the second conference championship in program history for the Gorloks, joining the 2011 squad.

28 June 2016
The traditionally homophobic island nation of Bermuda has voted overwhelmingly against same-sex marriage in a referendum.
Just over 20,000 votes was cast in the island-wide vote, with 69% voting against same-sex marriage and only 31% in favour.
On civil unions the vote went 63% against. So Bermudans do not want to see gay unions in any way whatsoever.
HOWEVER, since only 20,804 of the 44,367 registered voters participated in the referendum and because this is below the 50% legal requirement for it to count, the referendum results became invalid.
This was Bermuda's first referendum in 21 years since the island voted against being independent from Britain.
Same-sex marriage and civil unions were supported by Sir John Swan, even though the former Premier had originally voted against a bill that struck down Bermuda's law that criminalized homosexuality.
'The gay issue is not an issue in my house,' Sir John said. 'Everybody is the same. I have three children. They don't have a lick of reservation in supporting this measure. Nor do I. I very clearly and emphatically support the 'yes' vote. We all should be treated equally.'
Michael Dunkley, the current Premier, said: 'Any outcome is the will of the people and will guide their elected officials accordingly.'

Writing can be difficult. Many writers will attest to times when they fall into a slump. They may feel as if they have nothing to write about or that the work they are producing is not satisfying. These times can cause a writer to either keep on writing as they push through the feelings or they become discouraged, where they stop writing altogether.
This was exactly how I was feeling a few weeks ago. I was writing, but there was definitely some feelings where I was unhappy with my work. I was sitting in my chair fidgeting as the computer screen was blank and my mind drifted off onto other things. I knew immediately that I needed some motivation or I would give up and stop writing altogether. So I turned to my playlist on Youtube titled "Charlene's Motivation". There I have a brevity of motivational speeches to help battle the problem of discouragement. Below are the ones that helped me battle my problems.
1 – Denzel Washington – This nearly 17 minute montage of Denzel Washington's top 10 Rules for Success is amazing. There is some rich advice from the two-time Academy Award winning actor, from "working hard", "aspire to make a difference" and my favorite…"It's not healthy to concern yourself with what people think". Every time I watch this or let it play while I am moving around my house, I am truly inspired.
2- Les Brown – There are numerous clips or full speeches from this wonderful motivational speaker on Youtube. There is probably 365 days worth of encouragement for daily motivation. I've watched my share, however the one below is amazing. Here, Mr. Brown speaks of "motivating yourself", "going after what you want", and "being the person that you want to be". This 33 minute video, was a big help in putting of fire under my bottom, causing me to write.
3 – Viola Davis – This last dose of motivation, I received was during the live telecast of the Academy Awards. It is amazing that I saw this, because I don't usually watch award shows, as they stay on too late for me, well past my bedtime. Yet, I am so happy that I caught her acceptance speech for Best Support Actress for her amazing performance in Fences. As she spoke, I was inspired by the tears in her eyes as she spoke of the great playwright August Wilson. She thanked him for writing stories about people. Just those words, were inspiring to me as a writer, because that is exactly what I want to do, write stories about people and to inspire people.
So, no matter what we are doing in life and a slump comes, because it will, remember we all need a little motivation. Take some time to motivate and encourage yourself, to help you stay on track to reach your goals.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 03, 2013
Content management system practitioners and Web site stakeholders have a new, in-depth resource to compare Joomla! (http://www.joomla.org) and Drupal (http://www.drupal.org), two of today's most popular CMS platforms. The ebook Drupal and Joomla! — A Comparison of Project Processes and Costs uses common CMS project phases to illustrate the differences between these two open source systems. Created by Web development company Aluent Group (http://www.aluent.com), the ebook can be downloaded from http://aluent.com/ebook at no cost.
"We felt the community — and our customers — could benefit from this resource and better understand the differences between Drupal and Joomla," said Justin Kerr, the ebook's lead author and head of business development at Aluent Group. "Too many existing comparisons only touch on surface differences, or they don't speak from a position of practical expertise in both platforms," Kerr said.
Indeed, it is the Aluent Group's experience with multiple CMS and Web application platforms that helped inform the ebook's content and focus. "We're pretty unique in that we work with both Drupal and Joomla," said Aluent Group President Robert Nowak. "We've even conducted platform migrations from one CMS to another, in both directions!" Nowak worked on the ebook as a contributing author and editor alongside Aluent Group CTO Trinh Viet Anh (aka Jet Pixel).
Topics covered in Drupal and Joomla! — A Comparison of Project Processes and Costs include CMS setup, content types and structures, Web design and layout, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), custom development, ongoing maintenance, and many other topics. "By breaking down the subject into project-focused phases, we hope to get around the problems of trying to make a top-down, apples-to-apples comparison," Kerr said. "The strategy and process of CMS site implementation differs fundamentally between Joomla and Drupal sites. Our ebook uses these comparisons of project phases to highlight the differences and hopefully inspire strong comprehension of how these systems work within real-world deployments."
Aluent Group also regularly explores Drupal versus Joomla topics through its blog articles (available at http://www.aluent.com/blog) and Chicago-area CMS users groups. "We presented at the January JoomlaChicago-Loop meeting," Kerr said, "and the video and slides are available on our blog. It looks like we'll also be presenting at a Drupal users group meeting this spring."
More information and new topics will be explored through upcoming blog posts and premium content, Kerr said. "This ebook is the first of our planned premium content offerings, all of which are designed to help support and inform our clients and the community."

Fortune 1000 Corporations Share Insights for Information Governance Programs
WASHINGTON, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN) today announced findings from its Technology segment's 11th Advice from Counsel study of e-discovery and information governance ("IG") trends, which revealed key themes that can help organizations support the modern workplace while keeping data secure and retrievable for legal or regulatory needs.
The report shares tactical recommendations from Fortune 1000 corporations in various stages of IG policy implementation, all of which are facing data security challenges. When asked how to create an IG framework that protects data while staying adaptive to the rapidly evolving regulatory requirements, respondents identified multiple key themes. From determining first steps to preparation for the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") in the European Union, the report provides corporate compliance and e-discovery professionals with experience-based advice.
Highlights from the study include key recommendations such as:
- Establish a Roadmap: One-third of respondents recommend conducting a data assessment to help focus the development of an IG program.
- Prioritize Data Remediation: Ninety percent of respondents do not know how much data they are managing and are frustrated with runaway data volumes.
- Leverage Opportunities During Microsoft Office 365 Migration: Porting data from legacy systems to new cloud applications provides corporations with a unique opportunity to hone IG and e-discovery processes.
"Any one of the practical steps suggested by the participants can better position corporations in securing their most sensitive data," said Jake Frazier, a Senior Managing Director in the Technology segment at FTI Consulting and Head of its Information Governance & Compliance Services ("IG&CS") practice. "Although there is no one-size-fits-all approach to protecting your company from data breaches or ensuring regulatory compliance, the Advice from Counsel study demonstrates actionable recommendations from proactive organizations that are realizing common benefits."
For more information on FTI Technology, visit www.ftitechnology.com. Read the complete study here.
About the study
For the past nine years, FTI Technology has partnered with Ari Kaplan Advisors to publish the annual Advice from Counsel study, a quantitative and qualitative view into e-discovery best practices for corporate counsel. The study was conducted through phone interviews with 33 Fortune 1000 companies. Of this year's participants, 100 percent develop and implement compliance policies and processes, while 78 percent select, implement or manage information governance software and service providers. All interviews are conducted under the condition of anonymity.
About Advice from Counsel
Through in-person events, virtual meetings, webcasts, surveys and reports, Advice from Counsel helps e-discovery leaders share ideas and advice with peers in an open and collaborative forum. Begun in 2008 as an annual survey and report on top e-discovery trends, Advice from Counsel has evolved into an interactive community of e-discovery professionals working to strengthen the people, process and technology at the core of e-discovery. For more on Advice from Counsel, as well as information on how to join, please visit www.ftitechnology.com.

Today most embedded problems can be solved with a cheap 32bit MCU.
Those are also much easier to program than FPGAs.
But small FPGAs are an absolute must if you have a problem which requires very fast reaction time,
very precise synchronization of multiple sensors or actuators or you need very accurate timing of events.
This is the case when you need fast control loops controlling very fast processes (like controlling fast spinning motors, regulating voltage or electric current, when you want to filter data very fast (like in a logic analyzer looking in real time for a trigger situation) or in driving lots of nozzels in an Injet print-head or the laser in a laser-printer (in case you do not want to have printed trackable documents http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=18995 ).
Precise synchronization you need when you have system with lots of sensors where the data acquisition need to be at the exact same time with precise repetition (=low jitter) to be able to do a good measurement (like in a MRI scanner or phased array antenna).
Here you can find a good video explaining when a FPGA might be a better solution than an embedded controller.
Generate great music
FPGAs are very well suited for high level math operations, especially for complex algorithms or when operating on data streams at a high data rate (in the MHz). The strength of an FPGA is its ability to pipeline operations which means that the algorithm is broken up spatially into different steps. Each cycle new data flows into the top of the pipe and the processed data exits at the end. In this way, each step of the process occurs simultaneously, like an assembly line, so that no single iteration of the algorithm is blocked by the iteration before. By contrast a processor is a sequential machine so each iteration of an algorithm has to wait until the previous one finishes before starting.
A CPU is doing one thing after the other, no matter how fast it is clocked. And high end CPUs are massive pipelines, which increases the latency of any code execution.
FPGA are needed when you want to be sure that things happen exactly at the same time on a microsecond scale. This might be required treating several sensor inputs (like in a MRI or other sensor arrays where timing is critical) or a phased array antenna, or this might be at the output like controlling several currents and voltages of several motors to generate one smooth and precise movement of one robot arm or CNC machine with minimal electrical loss.
If you want to happen small things really fast (like a trigger at a logic analyzer), CPUs with their task switching and pipeline of instructions just react too slow. You want to have the trigger be implemented in hardware.
If you want things to be reliable and save, then you implement something in hardware. Simple hardware circuits are much simpler to prove to be error free that a whole CPU with its operating system software stack and the simple application on top. Complicated software can not be implemented in hardware, So there you need to "use the complex stack. But if you don't have a complex problem, you can keep it simple by implementing it in programmable hardware.
Small FPGAs can move closer to the sensors and make the edge smart. This simplifies system design and software development a lot. The signal conditioning and validation and aggregation could be done directly at the sensor.
Very often this could be done by a MCU, but when low latency is important, FPGA are a better choice.
They can be used for indoor navigation system where the run time of radio waves determines the location of devices.

Christopher Nolan is cutting the cord. He's done with Batman and has no intention of bringing the Justice League to the big screen. He's ready for someone else to take the reins of all things Batman- and DC-related.
Over the weekend, Nolan was out and about promoting The Dark Knight Rises. In an interview, he was asked if he had any plans to tackle the upcoming Justice League movie.
He replied, "No, none at all. We're finished with all we're doing with Batman. This is the end of our take on this character. I've got no plans to do anything more, and certainly, no involvement with any Justice League project."
We're not surprised Nolan was asked such a question. He's producing the Superman reboot Man of Steel, so why wouldn't he give Justice League a shot? Batman is one of the team's senior members. And over the past eight years he's taken the character to a whole other level.
Nolan also confirmed that he won't be involved with any sequels or reboots featuring the Caped Crusader. He's truly done. But he left us with these warm words as a parting gift.
"Batman will outlive us all, and our interpretation was ours. Obviously, we consider it definitive and kind of finished. The great thing about Batman is he lives on for future generations to reinterpret, and obviously, Warners will have to decide in the future what they're going to do with him," Nolan said. "We've had our say on the character.
Are you disappointed Nolan won't be a part of the JLA movie?

Wadham scientist elected to Academy of Medical SciencesNews
Wadham Fellow Professor Susan Lea is one of three University of Oxford scientists to be elected to the prestigious Fellowship of the Academy of Medical Sciences for her contributions to biomedical and health research.
Professor Lea is Director of the Central Oxford Structural Microscopy and Imaging Centre and Professor of Microbiology at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology.
Susan is primarily interested in what structural biology can help us understand about the way in which pathogens and their hosts first encounter each other. This work has led to potential therapeutic opportunities with structures suggesting opportunities for novel vaccination strategies.
Professor Sir Robert Lechler PMedSci, President of the Academy of Medical Sciences said: "As we elect new Fellows each year, the Academy continues to grow as a unique and productive hub of the best minds in UK medical science. Our expanding and evolving Fellowship allows the Academy to play a vital role in tackling the major health challenges facing society today and in the future.
"The election of these 46 exceptional biomedical and health researchers is a well-deserved honour. Each newly elected Fellow has made an outstanding impact in the community, contributing to the development of better healthcare - from fundamental scientific understanding to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. I am delighted to welcome them to the Academy and greatly look forward to working with them all in the future."
This year's elected Fellows have expertise that spans women's health, immunology, public health and infectious disease among many other fields.
Also elected to the Academy from the University of Oxford were Professor James Berkley, Professor of Paediatric Infectious Diseases at the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health; and Professor Philip K. Maini FRS, Professor of Mathematical Biology and Director of the Wolfson Centre for Mathematical Biology.
The new Fellows will be formally admitted to the Academy at a ceremony on 28 June 2017.

Excellent workmanship, tolerance levels, and materials. It's a really great looking reel. Drag adjustment is easy and a great range in the low to mid drag. High drag gets less adjustable, but I've got a RX2, and will never be needing anything more than the minimum amount of drag. Hard for me to evaluate durability, because I'm not going to wait 1-2 years to review it - which in fairness, one should do to give it a fair durability estimate. Spool is easy to remove, action and feel are smooth and the quality just feels really good. Love the low-key click on the line-out. The reels is silent on the retrieve. Love it. I have the RX6 Classic for my 7w spey, RX2 for my 4w, RX5 for my 6 w spey.

|If the weather in your area of the world is anything like mine, then chances are there are many varieties of vegetables that you simply can not start from seeds directly outdoors. This is because the amount of time you would have from the moment the weather "cooperates" until the day when the weather no longer "cooperates" isn't very long.
Take for example tomatoes. Most tomato varieties require anywhere from 70 to 90 days for full maturity. There are a lot of places that do not have the 70 days, let alone the 90. So what can a vegetable gardener do to overcome this?
There is one basic solution to this dilemma and that is to start your seeds indoors. Sounds like a no-brainer right? But before you just shrug off this as being common knowledge, lets take a look at what you need to do in order to maximize the chances of your indoor seeds actually being productive for the outdoors.
|Let's start with the soil for your needs. There are a variety of seed starting soil mixes on the market available at any home or garden center for just a few bucks (depending on how much you buy). These work fine. What you want is a soil that is very loose and filled with nutrients. So be sure to read the package if you decide to buy a pre-made mix and read what it contains. Peat and perlite will more than likely be the two top ingredients as peat is friable and gives the soil its looseness and the perlite helps with improved aeration and better drainage. They will differ on the nutrient end of things as organic seed starters will contain compost and protein meal whereas non-organic will contain chemical combinations for the appropriate N-P-K (nitrogen - phosphorous - potassium) needs of seeds.
You can always create your own seed starting mix as well, and if you have your own compost pile, I would highly recommend it since you know what your compost is made out of. Equal parts peat, perlite and compost should suffice and if you want to go even "greener", substitute coir for peat. Coir is coconut husk and is just as friable as peat, just a bit more expensive.
Next you will need something to put the soil in. Here your possibilities are endless. You can go with trays, up through plantable pots, reuse old cottage cheese containers, you name it. The choice is really yours. I find using plantable cell flats are much easier, but I also use some leftover yogurt cups, with holes drilled into the bottom for drainage, as well.
|Using warm water, I like to water the soil first before I put it into any pots and plant any seeds. I feel it makes it easier to work with. A bit messier, but easier to work with. Just make sure when you water the soil, you do so in a container that has plenty of drainage. You want your soil moist, not saturated.
Fill your pots, cell flats or whatever it is you have chosen with the moist soil. Poke holes to the depth that is needed for the seeds you are planting, drop the seeds in and lightly cover.
Your seeds will need plenty of sun and a good germination temperature. For me, I place my seed starters on or near the windows of my house that receive the sunlight first thing in the morning. This gives them the most exposure of sunlight throughout the day.
|For germination temperatures, I like to use a propagation dome on all my seed trays. This helps keep a constant, warm temperature for the seeds and helps not only ensure the seeds will germinate, but do so rather quickly. Once in awhile we will get lucky in our area and have a 65 to 75 degree day when the average temperature is under 50. If this happens for you, don't be afraid to take the seeds outside and into the full sun. This practice especially comes in handy when you need to start hardening your plants off.
Once your seeds germinate, you will want to keep an eye on them. When they get larger you will need to move them to bigger containers so their growth will continue, and the new soil, in its new container will have more nutrients for the young plant to take advantage of.

The heart is the body's motor, and when it stalls out, it can cause problems. The heart doesn't deteriorate as its person gets older, but when heart disease strikes, it can interfere with the functioning. Heart disease is deadly, and it gets more likely with age. However, just because it is more likely doesn't mean it's inevitable. It is estimated that 80 percent of cardiac-related deaths could have been prevented. That would mean saving close to 650,000 people. It's easy to keep the heart healthy with a few simple lifestyle changes.
Avoiding stress is one of the most important things a person can do to prevent heart disease, and it has a fairly large return on investment, yielding a lot of improvement for simple actions. Destressing can mean slowing down, getting enough sleep, organizing one's life—through straightening up the home, the office, and the e-mail inbox as well as staying on top of scheduling by making to-do lists and maintaining a calendar. Taking a relaxed attitude and keeping life in perspective also helps. And some destress techniques are also good for the heart in and of themselves, such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and staying active.
In fact, even simply walking can help the heart—as little as parking at the far end of the lot, or getting off the bus of subway one stop earlier than usual, will make a difference. Just 30 minutes of walking a day provides benefits. More intense workouts are even better for people who can do them. Twenty-five minutes of intense aerobic exercise a day, three days a week is a great way to build a healthy heart.
A heart-healthy diet is also important, but it doesn't have to be bland or boring. Good menu options for heart health include oatmeal which can be dressed with fruit such as bananas; avocados, including in guacamole; soy; olive oil; and berries. These foods help lower cholesterol, cut fat, and provide protein. Potatoes, tomatoes, red wine, and green tea are all good for the heart, containing substances that actually fight heart disease , such as lycopene in tomatoes and flavonols in red wine. Flavonols are also found in dark chocolate, another indulgence that helps the heart.

Doug Herring at Mystic Eye Games let us know about the latest pair of nasty creatures available on their site. This set of monsters were created in answer to the following: "What types of foul beasts could be born of the nightmares of an unrequited or spurned love?" Aside from Rimmer's lust monster, you'd have the Heart Breaker and the Black Lover, two horrific (and apparently lonely) beasts. This brings the grand total of free creatures at MEG to six, all as a prelude to the upcoming creature book, Nightmares & Dreams: A Creature Collection, and Mystic Eye's new setting, The Hunt: Rise of Evil.
