Expedition Cruise
The largest island of the Svalbard archipelago, Spitsbergen is known as the "wildlife capital of the Arctic," and on this unforgettable 12-day voyage, you will discover why. This journey has been designed to maximize time on the west and northern/southern tips of the island, providing you optimal chances to witness the remarkable array of creatures who call this spectacular yet forbidding environment home—including whales, walruses, Svalbard reindeer, seabirds by the thousands, and that most iconic of Arctic residents, the polar bear.We are thrilled to partner with Quark Expeditions for this amazing adventure. Come aboard with the most knowledgeable, experienced and passionate team in the industry for an extraordinary High Arctic adventure.
Signature Moments
- Explore the most remote corner of the earth
- Travel safely and comfortably aboard an ice-strengthened expedition vessel
- Learn about the environment and wildlife from on-board lecturers and specialists
- Experience abundant wildlife: whales, walruses, reindeer, polar bears and more
- Set out on an adventure like no other!
Welcome to Norway!
Your Arctic voyage begins in Oslo, Norway's vibrant capital city. If you arrive early, there are many museums, restaurants and green spaces to keep you busy before retiring at your included airport hotel
Accommodations - TBA
This morning, the group will transfer
to the airport and board our private
charter flight to Longyearbyen,
Spitsbergen's largest settlement, where
you'll have some time to explore before
embarkation. As your ship sets sail,
enjoy your first view of the island's
rugged, glacier-topped mountains rising
majestically from icy waters.
Accommodations - Ocean Adventurer
Explore western Spitsbergen as well
as stunning fjords and outlying islands
to the north. From polar deserts to
immense glaciers, the natural landscape
here is just as varied as the wildlife. As
you cruise around this magical island
located above the Arctic Circle, your
Expedition Team will constantly be
searching for wildlife.
Each expedition presents new opportunities and different weather and ice, so we have no fixed itinerary; however, some of the places we may visit include the 14th of July Glacier, Smeerenburg, Phippsøya, Alkhornet and the Hinlopen Strait.
The destinations visited will be selected for optimum wildlife viewing with an appreciation of the history and geology of Spitsbergen.
The island offers multiple opportunities for wildlife photography. Since Svalbard's legendary wildlife habitat is well-protected and almost entirely uninhabited, it's one of the world's best places to spot polar bears in their natural landscapes of ice, Arctic deserts and mountain scenery.
The towering cliffs of Alkefjellet provide homes to thousands of Brünnich's guillemots (thick-billed murres).
Coming across a walrus haul-out is a moment you won't soon forget. These giant pinnipeds of the Arctic create quite a noisy scene as each walrus vies for a choice spot of coastline.
If you're itching to experience a more intimate view from the water, you can book the sea kayaking or paddling excursion adventure options.
In Spitsbergen, there is no shortage of natural beauty. The tundra can be surprisingly colorful in summer, with wildflowers bursting for a taste of sunshine. Each day, you'll see something interesting, whether it is an ever-changing gallery of spectacular icebergs, a polar bear resting between hunts, or abandoned historical site from centuries ago Accommodations - Ocean Adventurer
The time to say goodbye has come.
Your Arctic adventure ends as it began,
in the frontier-style settlement of
Longyearbyen. From here, we'll transfer
you to the airport for your return group
charter flight to Oslo.
Accommodations - Ocean Adventurer
Imagine gliding across the surface of
a bay in the presence of icebergs and
glaciers. Our Sea Kayaking program is
a great way to intimately explore your
surroundings. A small group of kayakers
will plan to go out multiple times per
voyage as an alternative to shore landings
or Zodiac cruises.
The number of opportunities to kayak is weather dependent, and will be conducted only during calm conditions. Prior kayaking experience is required, and you must be able to do a wet exit to participate. Beginners interested in kayaking should consider participating in the Paddling Excursion.
If you're interested in kayaking but would like to try something a bit less demanding than Sea Kayaking, you're the perfect candidate to sign up for a one-time paddle on our stable sit-on-top kayaks—perfect for anyone with minimal or no kayaking experience. Rotating groups of passengers will be taken out on calm days, with our expert guides always present to provide instruction and help connect you with the polar sea.
IMPORTANT REMINDER Embracing the unexpected is part of the legacy—and excitement—of expedition travel. When traveling in extremely remote regions, your Expedition Team must consider the sea, ice and weather to guide the route and itinerary details. This itinerary is a tentative outline of what you may experience on this voyage; please be aware that no specific itinerary can be guaranteed. By the same token, wildlife encounters as described are expected, but not guaranteed. Your Expedition Team will use their considerable experience to seek out wildlife in known habitats, but the presence of any particular species of bird or marine wildlife is not guaranteed.

I sure hope Pussyboy is signaling that he's upset about the trade talk and wants out.
The day we get rid of him will be one of the greatest days in franchise history.
So bring in a bridge. What's so hard about that ?

I'd prefer to sit Tua for a while anyway.

RM41, the saddest part is, after we draft a WR at 12, whether it's JJ, CDL, HRIII -- it's going to be the same, or some other, bullshit excuse after 2020.

Wiz was a helluva player. As was Dave Dalby. Easy to overlook some of the great OLinemen.
No one's even mentioned Tim Brown.
George Atkinson.
The Tooz.
Otis Sistrunk.
Crap. You're right. How could I have forgotten JaMoron ?
OK. From the opening post I thought maybe you wanted to only choose 2 players.
I agree, AL is an automatic. Can't have a Raider Rushmore without the Godfather. So that leaves 3. Don't think I'd go...
Ha. Bro, your fly doesn't know shit. He says Joey Biden isn't done either.
Seriously, if Pussyboy makes it to Vegas, I'm thinking he doesn't survive 2020 anyway.
Benched or booed off the...
More excuses for Pussyboy. He's done.
Of course he does. Pussyboy can't possibly succeed unless he's surrounded by 10 HOF players. Even then, he'll flop unless the system is perfect.
The excuses never end.
Seriously, if AL and Madden are givens and we can only choose 2 players, I'm going with Art Shell as the third face on Raider Rushmore. The final name is incredibly hard to choose.
Gene, Snake,...
Which players ? Man, it's tough to choose only two.
How about Todd Marinovich and Derek Carr ?
I feel the same way. Trade him to the Chargers.
Pussyboy just needs a true deep threat.
Mayock's going to be arrested for highway robbery if he gets a 1st for Pussyboy.

Geforce 600 Gen3 Support X79 Patch
Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/22/2012 10:44 AM [ 0 comment(s) ]
Geforce 600 Series Gen3 Support On X79 Platform GeForce GTX 680 and GTX 670 GPUs support PCI Express 3.0. They operate properly within the SIG PCI Express Specification and have been validated on multiple PCI Express 3.0 platforms. Some motherboard manufacturers have released an updated SBIOS to enable the Intel X79/SNB-E PCI Express 2.0 platform to run at up to 8GT/s bus speeds. We have tested GeForce GTX 680 and GTX 670 GPUs across a number of X79/SNB-E platforms at 8GT/s bus speeds, but have seen significant variation in signal timing across different motherboards and CPUs. Therefore weve decided to only support and guarantee PCI Express 2.0 bus speeds on X79/SNB-E with our standard release drivers. Native PCI Express 3.0 platforms (like Ivy Bridge) will run at 8GT/s bus speeds with our standard release drivers.
Though we cannot officially support or guarantee 8GT/s speeds for X79/SNB-E, you can manually enable faster 8GT/s bus speeds (at your own risk) on GTX 680 or GTX 670 GPUs using the following executable: force-enable-gen3.exe
If you would like to revert back to 5GT/s bus speeds you can do so by running the following command from the DOS command line: force-enable-gen3.exe revert
You may download "force-enable-gen3.exe" from the File Attachments section below. You will need to reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

Innovation and entrepreneurship are often considered two sides of the same coin. But are the links between innovation and entrepreneurship as inextricable as we think? From Innovation to Entrepreneurship questions this seemingly interdependent relationship, highlighting the different requirements of innovation and entrepreneurship. This book disentangles theories of innovation and entrepreneurship, empirically revealing the overlaps and differences between them. Demonstrating that the pursuit of entrepreneurship is the key to economic development, Yasuyuki Motoyama explores the concept that people are at the heart of entrepreneurship ecosystems.

From Innovation to Entrepreneurship
Connectivity-based Regional Development
Yasuyuki Motoyama
Edited by Urban Gråsjö, Charlie Karlsson and Iréne Bernhard
Developed countries must be incredibly innovative to secure incomes and welfare so that they may successfully compete against international rivals. This book focuses on two specific but interrelated aspects of innovation by incumbent firms and entrepreneurs, the role of geography and of open innovation.
Geographies of Growth
Innovations, Networks and Collaborations
Edited by Charlie Karlsson, Martin Andersson and Lina Bjerke
Today we can observe an increasing spatial divide as some large urban regions and many more medium-sized and small regions face growing problems such as decreasing labour demand, increasing unemployment and an ageing population. In view of these trends, this book offers a better understanding of the general characteristics and specific drivers of the geographies of growth. It shows how these may vary in different spatial contexts, how hurdles and barriers to growth in different types of regions can be dealt with, how and to what extent resources in different areas can develop, and how the potential of these resources to stimulate growth can be realized.
Handbook of Regions and Competitiveness
Contemporary Theories and Perspectives on Economic Development
Edited by Robert Huggins and Piers Thompson
The aim of this Handbook is to take stock of regional competitiveness and complementary concepts as a means of presenting a state-of-the-art discussion of the contemporary theories, perspectives and empirical explanations that help make sense of the determinants of uneven development across regions. Drawing on an international field of leading scholars, the book is assembled and organized so that readers can first learn about the theoretical underpinnings of regional competitiveness and development theory, before moving on to deeper discussions of key factors and principal elements, the emergence of allied concepts, empirical applications, and the policy context.
The Rise of the City
Spatial Dynamics in the Urban Century
Edited by Karima Kourtit, Peter Nijkamp and Roger R. Stough
This book examines urban growth and the dynamics that are transforming the city and city regions in the 21st century focusing specifically on the spatial aspects of this process in the "Urban Century". Forces that are driving city growth include agglomeration spillovers, concentration of innovation and entrepreneurship, diversity of information and knowledge resources, and better amenities and higher wages. These benefits produce a positive reinforcing system that attracts more people with new ideas and information, fuelling innovation, new products and services and more high-wage jobs, thereby attracting more people. Such growth also produces undesirable effects such as air and water pollution, poverty, congestion and crowding. These combined factors both impact and change the geography and spatial dynamics of the city. These transformations and the public policies that may be critical to the quality of life, both today and in the future, are the substance of this book.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Global Economy
Knowledge, Technology and Internationalization
Edited by Charlie Karlsson, Urban Gråsjö and Sofia Wixe
Innovation and entrepreneurship are the prime drivers in the global economy. This scholarly book identifies some of the key forces behind innovation and entrepreneurship at the same time as it closes the gap between science and technology R & D, innovation, entrepreneurship, productivity growth, and internationalization. The expert contributions explore the underlying forces and add substantial theoretical and empirical knowledge to the current state-of-the-art in several research fields including the economics of innovation and entrepreneurship, regional economics, economic geography and international economics.
Edited by Sören Eriksson
This detailed book explores and provides insights into the development and transformation of various clusters, economies and industrial sectors in East and Southeast Asia.
Multinationals and Economic Geography
Location, Technology and Innovation
Simona Iammarino and Philip McCann
After more than fifty years of systematic research on multinational enterprises (MNEs) what is apparent is that there is, as yet, no unified or dominant theory of the MNE. The objective of this book is to bring into focus one particular dimension of MNE behaviour and activity that has been relatively under-researched – namely the geography of the multinational enterprise – as understood through the lens of innovation and technological change. The authors clearly demonstrate that geography is becoming increasingly important for MNEs and, in turn, MNEs are becoming progressively more important for economic geography. The pivot on which this vital relationship turns is the creation, diffusion and management of new knowledge.
Heike Mayer
Second tier high-tech regions are taking a different path than their well-known counterparts such as Silicon Valley or Route 128 around Boston. They may lack many prerequisites of growth such as a world-class research university or high levels of venture capital funding. Often, however, they can successfully leverage anchor firms and entrepreneurial spinoffs. This book explores the evolution of these regions in the United States.
Innovation and Technological Catch-Up
The Changing Geography of Wine Production
Edited by Elisa Giuliani, Andrea Morrison and Roberta Rabellotti
Since the beginning of the 1990s, the supremacy of 'Old World' countries (France and Italy) in the international wine market has been challenged by new players, such as Australia, Argentina, Chile and South Africa, which are recording stunning performances in terms both of export volume and value. This book demonstrates that such a spectacular example of catch-up goes beyond simply copying new technologies; it entails creative adaptation and innovation, and introduces a new growth trajectory in which consistent investments in research and science play a key role.

There is so much magic in these mountains. They represent adventure in the grandest form and in a language all their own. The idea of standing at the base of the world's tallest peak with @eddiebauer, a brand that has been outfitting record-setting climbers since the beginning – from the first American ascent in 1963 (Jim Whittaker) to our guide @melissaarnot, the first American Woman to ascend and descend Everest without oxygen, is truly beyond my wildest imagination. Traversing this terrain has its challenges. Breathing at altitude, for instance, is not easy. One of the greatest gifts/lessons that Melissa simultaneously bestowed on us during this trek was the fine art of pressure breathing. It makes all the difference as you climb higher. It's essentially a big inhale and a sharp, forceful exhale, like you're blowing out a candle across the room, to open up your lungs, allowing you to use more oxygen, etc… Besides hydration and staying nourished, breathing is THE vital key in the fight against altitude sickness. It's also a major takeaway that I will be employing back to the real world whether I'm in the midst of a tough workout or a weird day. Mind blown. So as we weaved around the Himalayas from 14,400ft-16,200ft-17,600ft: this particular technique was essential in propelling us forward. Needless to say, this part of the world holds a very special place in @melissaarnot's heart so her willingness to share it, as well as her time, knowledge and endless trove of stories were so appreciated by all of us lucky enough to walk alongside her this past week. Her belief in our abilities to keep moving and ultimately make it to the base of the Mighty, Mighty Mt. Everest was so powerful. Spoiler alert: we made it!!! It's impossible to be lucky enough to arrive at the foot of these mammoth peaks and not be attuned to the palpable energy of all of those who came before and lost their lives in these mountains. The wave of emotion: respect, reverence, appreciation….that washed over us as we took in the prayer flags and yellow domed tents of basecamp AND sat on the rocks regarding the chortens that dot the hillside of the Tukla Pass the day before, profoundly

Communication Power
byManuel Castells
Paperback | August 23, 2013
Earn 150 plum® points
Prices and offers may vary in store
Special OfferSee details
We live in the midst of a revolution in communication technologies that affects the way in which people feel, think, and behave. The media have become the space where power strategies are played out. In the current technological context mass communication goes beyond traditional media and includes the Internet and mobile communication. In this wide-ranging and powerful book, Manuel Castells analyses the transformation of the global media industry by this revolution in communication technologies. He argues that a new communication system, mass self-communication, has emerged, and power relationships have been profoundly modified by the emergence of this new communication environment. Created in the commons of the Internet this communication can be locally based, but globally connected. It is built through messaging, social networks sites, and blogging, and is now being used by the millions around the world who have access to the Internet. Drawing on a wide range of social and psychological theories, Castells presents original research on political processes and social movements. He applies this analysis to numerous recent events - the misinformation of the American public on the Iraq War, the global environmental movement to prevent climate change, the control of information in China and Russia, Barak Obama's internet-based presidential campaigns, and (in this new edition) responses to recent political and economic crises such as the Arab Spring and the Occupy movement. On the basis of these case studies he proposes a new theory of power in the information age based on the management of communication networks. Justly celebrated for his analysis of the network society, Castells here builds on that work, offering a well grounded and immensely challenging picture of communication and power in the 21st century. This is a book for anyone who wants to understand the dynamics and character of the modern world.

Hello Everyone!
Today I bring to you Iwalewa V, have you been enjoying this short story so far? If so, leave me some feedback in the comment section. I'd love to hear from you!
If you haven't done so already, read parts I-IV.
One year later, I sit here in my dorm room wishing that that day never ended. After a year in college, I could not look myself in the mirror. I was ashamed of who I had become. I got distracted, doing well in school and becoming a Physical Therapist no longer interested me. The parties, drinking, and attention seeking drew me in the opposite direction.
I stared at my grades from this past semester and I almost stopped breathing. My GPA was a 1.9, I was a failure. They were threatening to kick me out of school. I didn't want to go home, how could I face my mom.
I'm sure you're wondering what happened. Well I messed up, mingled with the wrong people and found myself in a trap. I arrived at school and instantly found myself in the middle of an identity crisis. A part of me wanted to be a good focused student, while the other part wanted to be free and reckless. Guess which part won?
My major influence was my roommate Jamilla. From the first day I met her, I knew that she was no good. But she was friendly and she kinda grew on me so I ignored her flaws. Even when she started smoking weed in our room. I brushed it off.
One day I had a break in between classes so I decided to go back to the room and have lunch. I ran quickly into our suite because I had to use the bathroom. After urinating, I felt relieved. I took out the keys for our room door but surprisingly it was open. That was strange, Jamilla usually had a class at this time. When I walked into the room, I couldn't believe my eyes. She was in bed with a girl. I caught them off guard and they both froze.
I mumbled, "I'm so sorry" I ran out before I could get a response.
For the rest of the day, I couldn't focus. The scene kept replaying in my head. She sent a text to apologize but I didn't respond. I decided to stay in the library until late, hoping that she'd be asleep when I came in. But she wasn't.
"Hey Iwa"
"Hey J" I avoided her eyes.
"I'm really sorry about earlier, I didn't mean for you to see me like that."
Still avoiding her eyes, "It's okay"
"I wanted to tell you but didn't know how, I feel terrible."
I finally faced her, she looked ashamed "It's okay Jay, it's really none of my business."
I walked out of the room and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
Fast forward to a few weeks later, I woke up from another nightmare. I forgot to take my sleeping pills that night. And I scared Jamilla, she said I was screaming "Stop, stop, get off of me!" I just broke down into tears, she walked over to my bed and hugged me really tight.
"It's okay Iwa, calm down and take a deep breath" I did just that and I felt a bit relieved.
"I have something that will calm your nerves"
She walked over to her side of the room, opened her draw and pulled out a blunt.
"No Jay I can't, I'll be fine."
"Chill Iwa, it's not a big deal. I used to have nightmares very similar to yours and this has been my saving grace." She held up the blunt before me.
I heard my Mommy's voice in my head "Remember the child of whom you are."
I suddenly found strength and authoritatively refused "No Jay, I am not smoking that!"
She looked scared and quickly walked over to her bed, I turned to face the wall and prayed that sleep would overwhelm me soon.
Unfortunately, I had another nightmare two weeks after that. This time it was too scary, it felt so real. Jamilla came to my rescue again and when she offered me the blunt this time I couldn't resist. I needed to escape from reality.
At first I kept coughing, right when I was about to give up Jamilla encouraged me to take another puff and I got the hang of it. It became our daily routine. Before you knew it I was going to clubs with her, even had my first drink with her.
On one of our drunken nights, I opened up to her and told her what happened on December 7, 2007. I had never told anyone before. I cried throughout the narration as she held my hands. At the end of my story, I found myself in her arms. We both cried on each other's shoulders. She had been raped too, but it was her cousin that committed the unforgivable offense. We cried until our shirts were soaking wet. We fell asleep in each other's arms.
After that day, I started having some weird desires to be in her arms everyday. I couldn't explain it. I just loved the way it felt, to be able to open up to someone and for them to understand how you felt. I was confused and I didn't know how to deal with my feelings. I decided to ignore them and focus on other things.
It was a Saturday night, and as usual we were going clubbing. I found the tightest and shortest outfit and threw it on. Jamilla and I met up with some friends and danced the night away. I lost count of how many drinks I had, I discovered that I had one too many when I found myself in the bathroom vomiting into the toilet. Jamilla saw me and said it was time to go.
I don't remember how we got back to our dorm room. But I did remember finding myself in our bathroom vomiting yet again.
"Iwa, get it together!" She lifted me off the floor.
"Come let's get you cleaned up."
She proceeded to take off my soiled clothes and put on the shower for me. I couldn't stand straight so she held me up with one arm as I attempted to scrub my body. Afterwards, she tucked me in bed and proceeded to clean the mess I made. I drifted up to sleep in no time.
However, I was awaken by another nightmare momentarily, this time Jamilla didn't wake up. I was so scared so I joined her in her bed. As I slid beside her, I collided into her naked body, she shifted and opened her eyes. She smiled at me and kissed me with her liquor laced breath, I tried to fight her off but she was too strong.
What had I done?

Discussion in 'The Okie Corral' started by Critch, Feb 10, 2020.
Go Bo Go! acosta you lying dog face.... yea, it fits a whole lot of liberal fools.
Go Bo.
I had one of my liberal friends say Rush is a racist. I asked him why he thought so. He said because he made racist comments on his show. I said, oh, do you remember any? He didn't.
In liberal 'fairness', anything out of Rush's mouth is bigoted, homophobic and racist. I still can't get over that joke about Rush B. Clinton made to the press. They don't assume, they presume even though there are no facts I'm aware of to base their presumptions on. Fake news, baby!
CNN is not a news organization. They are an advocacy group.
They are a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC.
That's inaccurate. Rush has a hatred for way more races than african americans. The videos are out there.
I've been listening to Rush for ~25 years.
I'll be damned if I didn't miss every one of those multi race hate tantrums.
Seems if people don't cater and bow down to everyone's 'feelings' they get labeled with some tag to disqualify facts. It's the political/argumentative jump ball of the day.
Do you have links to any of them?
I will be amazed if you can provide a link to even one. Seriously doubt you can.
By today's standards you could find things he said that are raciest by today's standards.
I've been listening to him since 1990. I've never heard these elusive "racist" comments. The Left are liars, and can never back up their claims.
Today merely speaking the truth is considered racist, so I can see how the argument started. It's dishonest and stupid but I can understand why it's happening. There are many idiots.
The date on that is 2/4 and no response from Acosta yet.
Typical leftist B.S.
I guess some people didn't look at the picture in the OP.
I'm a big fan of that little fuzz ball as well.
The mainstream media has concluded this primarily for three reasons.
Rush has over the years quoted other people's hard statistics which at the time did not reflect well on certain immigrants, ethnic or religious groups.
He was an exceptionally strong opponent of BHO and that was enough to enrage the Left. Opposing BHO in any form, in their mind was enough to confirm racism.
In this regard Rush would take Liberal commentary and play it back to them emphasizing the sheer stupidity and absurdity.
One such example was a quotation he used from a Left Coast Newspaper ( LA Times?) which used the term "Barrack the Magic Negro" in a loving way. Basically saying BHO was transformatory and able to accomplish anything.
Rush used that term for a brief time to rub their noses and he was called a racist for throwing their own term back at them.
Most on the left still don't realize where the term really initiated.
But to be sure, if you successfully oppose the Left you must be a racist, homophobe or bigot. It's how they roll. It's their playbook.
If Snerdly says Rush isn't a Racist then that is good enough for me.
Of all the people...... Bo would know for sure....
He must be a racist too...... (Oh wait)
Considering the lack of standards of today that could be considered going backwards society and humanity wise.
Acosta is a lefty hack who dissent deserve the attention he gets. He will soon become as irrelevant as a phone booth...
