APS NewCo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 104 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
APS / Antimicrobial Products & Services
We are marketing a safe, proven, but largely unknown germ-killing system. It isn't just a cleaning product, but an entire soup-to-nuts bacteria-killing program that suits the largest locations (hospitals, stadiums, malls) all the way down to your bathroom at home. Beginning in the northeastern United States, we are poised to introduce the product line to key clients in the region and ramping up to international distribution in the near future.
Our range of products is based on a technology which kills microbes without the use of dangerous poisons. Our solution can keep any location bacteria-free indefinitely. Once applied, it keeps working and does not wear off. We offer our corporate clients a safe haven from fear of viral outbreaks, bad PR and lawsuits due to microbe infestation. As important, our solution is environmentally friendly, EPA registered and NOT a poison or pesticide that can harm people or animals.
Think of us as a comforting blanket of cleanliness delivered by highly-trained professionals and based on advanced molecular biology.
Our principal market is large organizations where people could be exposed to dangerous microscopic germs. The foremost of these are hospitals and health clinics. Our system can literally save lives in these environments where people are at their most vulnerable and new source infections are being introduced into the environment constantly.
The next tier of key clients are schools, daycare centers and other educational institutions, especially anywhere students live as well as study. Because our products are non-poisonous we will also target restaurants and food-prep businesses.
Even retailers, sports team facilities, hotel chains, office buildings, and museums are potential customers. Anywhere that a large number of people pass through and/or handle a product would benefit from our antimicrobial system.
Of course, our direct client is the key health maintenance decision-maker in these organizations. In a hospital, this would be an infectious disease physician. In other organizations it will be the COO or General Manager. Public Relations staff will also play a key role, since they are at the front line of any bad publicity surrounding a germ outbreak.
Our logo must convey that we represent an established, trustworthy technology. It is a safe, environmentally-friendly cleaner/disinfectant. The key differentiator of our product is a "designer molecule" which lasts indefinitely and can kill any microbe it comes into contact with.
The logo should evoke chemistry and science at the microscopic, molecular level. But we want to convey a sense of security, safety and comfort. No scary atoms that remind you of a nuclear bomb!
The three letters A P S must be central to the design. The full name of the company, "Antimicrobial Products & Services" will always be a subheader. The headline identity of the company will incorporate the acronym APS.
We are in the process of designing our website. We've been using Helvetica Neue for its clean, sleek look. Predominant colors on the website are grey, white, some minimal environmental green and blue.
Even though it's a woman-owned business, we're not looking for flowery, feminine, or calligraphy type styles. Also, no cartoons or caricatures since they distract from the serious science.
Artistic representation of the concept is OK. We prefer clean, neat, sleek, sophisticated design. No garish colors -- prefer muted, sophisticated colors. Logo must work for print (including stationery/business cards) and website.

Everybody's on a budget these days, but that doesn't mean we have to give up having family fun! In fact, you might just find that spending less money turns out to be more fun. Really!
Just think about the stories your grandparents used to tell ... how awesome did their childhoods sound? My grandfather's early years were apparently a bigger barrel of laughs than an episode of The Little Rascals, and that was during the Great Depression. Back then, a bag of marbles was the closest thing a kid was gonna get to a Wii.
And maybe that was a good thing!
So, keeping that in mind, check out these 5 Ways to Save Money Without Spoiling the Fun:
- Start a collection. Kids are naturals at collecting interesting found objects (ahem, free objects). Either as a family or individually, pick items that are easy to find -- but not too easy -- and small enough to display, then go on weekly expeditions to find interesting specimens. A few ideas: Cool rocks, seashells, marbles, coins. If you want to spend just a few bucks, you can hit the tag sale circuit and look for stamps, bottle caps, and the like.
- Go back in time. No need for a big vacation! You might think you know everything there is to know about your town, but a trip to the local Historical Society will prove you wrong. Find out interesting factoids about your city, then visit the locations. (So that's what that grocery store used to be!)
- Have a movie night! Between tickets, popcorn, and candy, I spent more than I would on a nice grown-up dinner the last time I took my kids to the movies. Good thing watching movies at home is fun, too, especially if you make it into an event. Little kids can make tickets, big kids can make popcorn. Be sure to turn off all the lights! To make it even more authentic, consider including some treats you wouldn't ordinarily offer (Twizzlers bought at the store sure are cheaper than the ones you get at the movie theater!).
- Visit the pet store. Provided you've got some willpower behind you (don't take the cute bunny home! Just admire him in his cage!), a trip to the pet store can be a surprisingly eventful excursion, especially for younger kids. Like the zoo, kind of, except there's no fee for admission (and no pricey souvenirs beckoning).
- Make your own art museum. Got paper? Like, a big, giant roll of paper? Pick a theme, like "Safari" or "Circus," and sit the whole family down with a variety of markers, crayons, and paints to make a super-long mural. When everybody's done, sit back and invent stories to go along with the pictures. (Snack on leftover popcorn from Movie Night if you like.)
What does your family do to save money while still having fun?

Post subject: Massivly Multiplayer Persistent Space Games.
Given that Ive quit Jumpgate , I thought I'd look into the competition and see whats out there that has a chance of being the same but better:
Earth & Beyond.
Has a
Beta Signup
. By Westwood studios looks like the worst of the pack with the most point and click, dice roll modifiers based combat system.
Star Wars Galaxies
Has some sort of beta signup. I tend to disregard it as a contender because it just looks to damn ambitious, everyone is going to want to be a Jedi, & Sony is involved and I just dont like Sony.
Currently accepting beta applications. Nice graphics at least, but I still ahve no clue as to the gameplay.
Has higher res screenshots than Eve, appears to try to be Eve but more. No beta signup yet.
There dont seem to be any current or upcoming titles - except Jumpgate - that actually revolve around a first person view direct Joystick controlled spacecraft. Argh.

hmmm, they seem to be distributing these things far and wide. I got some sort of acceptance too. nothing that indicates I can actually download a client - I merely seem to have been given permission to create a account to access the E&B forums.

I've been in the E&B beta for a long time, but their patches got too big and bent my modem over. :p
I'll repatch and give a updated review when I get my broadband installed in about 2 weeks. :p
Since I graduated from college I lost my modem pool access, so, I've been living on borrowed time from my still in college friends. I'll start flying again when my connection is up and running again.

my current level of interest in other Sci-Fi multiplayer games
mmmmmm...plus i saw something posted by the Kat
which involves a very nice readup of Allegiance and the open source project the players have formed apparently.

The game play in alleg cannot be beat as far as flight sims go. It is pure PvP fun (if you like that sort of thing). Microsoft has dropped support of the game and players now support it (which is a good thing). We several programmers that make regular patches for it and fix balance issues. We even added a new faction and new ships (like a player flown carrier ship... complete with gunners). The community is very close and tight knit as well. The game is free for download (I'll post the FTP server to DL it when it is up) or you can pickup a copy of alleg on ebay. There is no monthly fee (the servers are run by fans of the games... login servers too). The learning curve of the game is steep (like Jumpgate) but is well worth it :) The game has a huge amount of ship classes... from stealth bombers and fighters to capital ships with player gunners. It is quite a cool game...
Oh... here is a link to the community:

RazorX's EnB review:
After I created an avatar and drooled over the ship customization process, I ruined it by actually "flying" that pretty ship around. Endless and Boring, anyone? The huge "monsters" in space reminded me too much of all the worst Star Trek episodes where they were running from some blob.
The one thing I did like was the tutorial. Learning curve was almost zeroed out.
Anyway, I'm about done with JG. I will be cancelling soon and taking my billion creds with me (like a good little anti-farmer). SWG looks ok, and I truly aspire to be a Dark Jedi Carebear. Right now I am playing the Neocron Open Beta. Not for the faint of heart or those lacking broadband. The client download is 3 files totalling 1.2 Gbytes.
It's like Bladerunner/Shadowrun/Deus Ex/Judge Dredd/random Cyberpunk cliche in a MMORPG. Combat is a combo of stats and a FPS style. And it kicks AO in the groin.
if you have a few minutes while surfing.
Jesus saves, the rest of you take 5d20 damage.

Hey, don't laugh... to be a Dark Jedi Carebear, you will first have to be a carebear, then a Jedi, then fall and become a Dark Jedi :)
Or so the logic goes anyways. SGW developers have declared that Dark Jedi are fallen Jedi, as opposed to a Sith (which is not open to PCs), which may or may not be a Dark Jedi.
I'm looking at Eve, and copying Muffy's gamelist down as we speak. I think ORB is the next soonest release... (end of Aug?)

Actually, I'm more of an explorer. But yeah, we have our eyes on Eve.
It's just a ways off still :( Nothing close. I can't even play allegiance, because of it's constant crashing.
Not sure there will be a UMEC in Eve though. Guess we should do a rolecall and see how many are interested :)

eve is not a substitute for jg, and jg is not a substitute for eve. they are diff types of games that's all there is to it.
the only reason i would stop playing jg for eve, would be if i simply can't afford both. ;[
eve is a great great game i have watched it from alpha6 to present i think it will be unfathomably pimp.
ps muffy is allowed to have sexual relations w/ me.;[

Hi, you guys don't know me, well MF does, but that's an old story.
I was going to play Asheron's Call 2 upon release, and hoping to get into beta too, but whilst browsing AC Vault message boards someone linked EVE.
Well, I checked in out, and haven't looked at AC2 since.
I'm really looking forward to EVE. If someone you guys are going, I'd like to tag along ... or you can tag along with me :)

Was rooting around on the SWG site and one little item caught my eye. Some of the devs from Privateer and Wing Commander are working the space expansion. Didn't think to get a link and the expansion is probably a year off. But just from seeing that I know I'm going to have to give it a try when it comes out. build up a nice smuggler and buy my own freighter.

8-24-10 PNC Park
Things got off to a great start before the gates even opened. Someone on the Pirates hit a home run that hit off of the song whale tent on the riverwalk, took a bounce, and then landed in the tall grass here:
Once the gates opened, the Pirates were already into their final round of batting practice, and they were all hitting opposite field, so I didn't get a single ball from them.
That's when Adam Wainwright came in and helped me out.
Game: 6 balls ( 1 hit, 1 thrown, 4 device )
Season: 484 balls (239 hit, 107 thrown, 72 device, 66 found)
Games: 75 games
Average: 6.45 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 5
Career: 1,062 balls
Streak: 171 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 13,302

Seriously… WTF?!? This lil knee-grow needs Jesus and/or swift kick in the "A"zz (and you can miss me with all that 'corporal punishment is bad' mumbo jumbo).
It is my personal opinion that some kids deserve to to be spanked! It's either that or some of you parents should mentally prepare to be a visitor as your grown child sits in jail on rape charges.
Some may blame the chick for tempting the adolescent munchkin with her skimpy clothing, but I don't give a dayum if she was rocking saran wrap!
I hope in the next shot ol girl "slapped the piss" outta that lil bugger !*spoken in my Mama Evelyn voice*

Montero to team with Cards' Motte to fight cancer
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Miguel Montero has battled Jason Motte on the field for several years now.
But off the field, the D-backs catcher is joining forces with the Cardinals reliever in his bid to fight cancer.View Full Game Coverage
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Miguel Montero has battled Jason Motte on the field for several years now.
But off the field, the D-backs catcher is joining forces with the Cardinals reliever in his bid to fight cancer.View Full Game Coverage
Montero is one of the 30 players -- one from each team -- who agreed to participate.
The website 108stitches.com went live on March 17, with 108 Stitches showcasing the "Strike Out Cancer" tees in each team's colors. Each is promoted by a different player who agreed to join Motte in a partnership that will benefit multiple charities. Each participating player has chosen a charity that will benefit from the T-shirts sales, and for each shirt sold, $5 will go to the Jason Motte Foundation and $5 to a charity of that player's choice. A full list of recipient charities will be listed on the 108 Stitches website soon, along with a photo of each player rep in his team-colored shirt.
Montero's shirt is black with a red "K" on it.
"At the end of the day, it's about reaching people," Motte said. "Baseball is great and everything, but there are other really important things going on out there that affect a lot of people. Wearing these T-shirts shows people that they're not alone. They're not sitting there doing chemo by themselves where no one cares. People do care, whether it's friends, family or baseball players. There are people who this has touched and this has affected. This is something we're trying to do to get the word out there and try to raise money to help."
Montero, who has teamed up with his wife Vanessa on many charitable projects in Arizona, did not hesitate when asked.
"He [Motte] tweeted at me one time to see if I could help spread it out here and I said, 'Yeah sure, why not?'" Montero said. "Gotta help each other out, especially when it helps out a foundation like this. I was happy to do it."
Montero, along with several of his teammates, has been wearing the T-shirt around the D-backs clubhouse.

Chad HamzehTraffic Beast / DSV2 Media
I've known Tony and the guys at EyeFive & ShipOffers for a year now and their customer service has been exceptional from day one. They're some of the easiest we've worked with when it comes to fast product and offer build out's that don't require insane amounts of inventory commitment to start with. They truly understand the landscape of fast offer creation and testing different product lines very quickly. They're a God send for direct response advertisers.
George Rivera/ 2x Media Group
Had I started with ShipOffers/Eye Five from the very beginning, no question we would have made an extra *$2 million at minimum in 2013. Reason is simple... The old way: Find a hot product, find someone to make it for you, fork over $30K to stock it to get a decent price, THEN use what you have left over to market it and hope you can sell the inventory (not to mention make a profit when a good chunk of cash is tied up that you may never see again). The ShipOffers way: Find a hot product (or they will tell you what's hot), spend your money on marketing, when you get sales, THEN fulfill on it at a competitive price and you're not stuck with a ton of inventory you can't sell. They are now my exclusive supplier/fulfillment company and I'm recommending all my clients & friends check them out so they don't make the mistake I made. They truly understand the importance of cash flow for supplement marketers. Earnings Disclaimer: *Your success is dependent on your efforts and abilities.
Craig GarberOwner, Marketing & Distribution company
In today's day and age where there is no "service" in the service business any more... ShipOffers.com is a breath of fresh air. Tony and Gil have that old-school work ethic when it comes to working with customers, that just doesn't seem to exist any more. These guys are extremely professional, they will bend over backwards to accommodate you, and they are very fair. On top of that, they are reliable and are constantly expanding their systems and reporting, so you're able to have greater control over, and understanding of, the various moving parts of your business. I am incredibly demanding and yet, they have far exceeded any of my expectations. Call them now.
Kevin CohenMarketing Genius / Kevin Cohen
As a marketer, my job is traffic and conversion. My partnership with EyeFive/ShipOffers allow me to focus on my 20%, while they take care of sourcing, warehousing, and fulfillment...which saves me time, money, and energy. Thank you!

I believe I have hinted from time to time that we meet all kinds of people at the Newberry Library Book Fair. Did I make it clear that we meet ALL kinds of people?
There are legitimate reasons for returning a book for a refund. As I mentioned, we once negotiated with some folks who had bought a $4,000 book only to get it home and find it was a very clever forgery. And we once issued a refund to a chap who bought what we all thought was an authentic Ronald Reagan autograph, only to be told at the Reagan Library that they not only knew this had been signed by a secretary: they knew which secretary. We do make mistakes from time to time, and we try not to sell you phonies unless we all know they're phonies and let you know about it.
There are other reasons for returning books which I'm afraid we cannot honor. In fact, we occasionally giggle about you after your back is turned. Here are some of those:
I FOUND SOMEONE ELSE SELLING IT FOR LESS: I would applaud your ingenuity more if you had found that person BEFORE you bought that copy. The thing is, carrot cake, that we at the Newberry do not anywhere claim that we have the lowest prices in the universe. We try to keep prices reasonable, but this is the age of the Internet, apple dumpling. Somewhere, somebody is selling that book for a penny. We aren't required to accept that person's word for the value of ours.
I ALREADY HAVE A COPY: Isn't that always the way? I do that all the time myself. You have two copies now? You have my sympathy. You also have no refund coming.
YOU SAID YOU TRY NOT TO SELL BOOKS WITH UNDERLINING IN THEM, AND SOMEBODY UNDERLINED A SENTENCE ON PAGE 101. The key word is "try", sugarlump. We don't say we succeed. See that bright light over there? It shines from the A. C. McClurg Bookstore. They will sigh with you, potato chip. They will sympathize. They will sell you an eraser.
I DIDN'T LIKE IT: Our volunteer recommended The Clue In the Old Code but you didn't think it was interesting. Can you swap? The answer to this has only two letters. What if you didn't like the one you swapped for? Would you be coming back every day to try another book? What do you think this is, a library?

From the interior of the Sun, to the upper atmosphere and near-space environment of Earth, and outward to a region far beyond Pluto where the Sun's influence wanes, advances during the past decade in space physics and solar physics--the disciplines NASA refers to as heliophysics--have yielded spectacular insights into the phenomena that affect our home in space.
Solar and Space Physics, from the National Research Council's (NRC's) Committee for a Decadal Strategy in Solar and Space Physics, is the second NRC decadal survey in heliophysics. Building on the research accomplishments realized during the past decade, the report presents a program of basic and applied research for the period 2013-2022 that will improve scientific understanding of the mechanisms that drive the Sun's activity and the fundamental physical processes underlying near-Earth plasma dynamics, determine the physical interactions of Earth's atmospheric layers in the context of the connected Sun-Earth system, and enhance greatly the capability to provide realistic and specific forecasts of Earth's space environment that will better serve the needs of society.
Although the recommended program is directed primarily at NASA and the National Science Foundation for action, the report also recommends actions by other federal agencies, especially the parts of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration charged with the day-to-day (operational) forecast of space weather. In addition to the recommendations included in this summary, related recommendations are presented in this report.
The United States has publicly funded its human spaceflight program on a continuous basis for more than a half-century, through three wars and a half-dozen recessions, from the early Mercury and Gemini suborbital and Earth orbital missions, to the lunar landings, and thence to the first reusable winged crewed spaceplane that the United States operated for three decades. Today the United States is the major partner in a massive orbital facility - the International Space Station - that is becoming the focal point for the first tentative steps in commercial cargo and crewed orbital space flights. And yet, the long-term future of human spaceflight beyond this project is unclear. Pronouncements by multiple presidents of bold new ventures by Americans to the Moon, to Mars, and to an asteroid in its native orbit, have not been matched by the same commitment that accompanied President Kennedy\'s now fabled 1961 speech-namely, the substantial increase in NASA funding needed to make it happen. Are we still committed to advancing human spaceflight? What should a long-term goal be, and what does the United States need to do to achieve it?
Pathways to Exploration explores the case for advancing this endeavor, drawing on the history of rationales for human spaceflight, examining the attitudes of stakeholders and the public, and carefully assessing the technical and fiscal realities. This report recommends maintaining the long-term focus on Mars as the horizon goal for human space exploration. With this goal in mind, the report considers funding levels necessary to maintain a robust tempo of execution, current research and exploration projects and the time/resources needed to continue them, and international cooperation that could contribute to the achievement of spaceflight to Mars. According to Pathways to Exploration, a successful U.S. program would require sustained national commitment and a budget that increases by more than the rate of inflation.
In reviving a U.S. human exploration program capable of answering the enduring questions about humanity's destiny beyond our tiny blue planet, the nation will need to grapple with the attitudinal and fiscal realities of the nation today while staying true to a small but crucial set of fundamental principles for the conduct of exploration of the endless frontier. The recommendations of Pathways to Exploration provide a clear map toward a human spaceflight program that inspires students and citizens by furthering human exploration and discovery, while taking into account the long-term commitment necessary to achieve this goal.
The original charter of the Space Science Board was established in June 1958, 3 months before the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) opened its doors. The Space Science Board and its successor, the Space Studies Board (SSB), have provided expert external and independent scientific and programmatic advice to NASA on a continuous basis from NASA's inception until the present. The SSB has also provided such advice to other executive branch agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Department of Defense, as well as to Congress.
Space Studies Board Annual Report 2013 covers a message from the chair of the SSB, Charles F. Kennel. This report also explains the origins of the Space Science Board, how the Space Studies Board functions today, the SSB's collaboration with other National Research Council units, assures the quality of the SSB reports, acknowledges the audience and sponsors, and expresses the necessity to enhance the outreach and improve dissemination of SSB reports.
This report will be relevant to a full range of government audiences in civilian space research - including NASA, NSF, NOAA, USGS, and the Department of Energy, as well members of the SSB, policy makers, and researchers.
Evaluation of the Implementation of WFIRST in the Context of New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics assesses whether the proposed Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets (AFTA) design reference mission described in the April 30, 2013 report of the AFTA Science Definition Team (SDT), WFIRST-2.4, is responsive to the overall strategy to pursue the science objectives of New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics, and in particular, the survey's top ranked, large-scale, space-based priority: the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST). This report considers the versions of WFIRST-2.4 with and without the coronagraph, as described in the AFTA SDT report. The report compares the WFIRST mission described in New Worlds, New Horizons to the AFTA SDT WFIRST-2.4 design reference mission, with and without the coronagraph, on the basis of their science objectives, technical complexity, and programmatic rationale, including projected cost. This report gives an overview of relevant scientific, technical, and programmatic changes that have occurred since the release of New Worlds, New Horizons, and assesses the responsiveness of the WFIRST mission to the science and technology objectives of the New Worlds report.

An obligation is a course of action that someone is required to take, whether legal or moral. There are also obligations in other normative contexts, such as obligations of etiquette, social obligations, religious and possibly in terms of politics, where obligations are requirements which must be fulfilled. These are generally Teddy YOWO Blue Medium Smith YOWO Blue Teddy Smith Medium 1nZ5x obligations, which can incur a penalty for non-fulfilment, although certain people are obliged to carry out certain actions for other reasons as well, whether as a tradition or for social reasons.
Obligations vary from person to person: for example, a person holding a political office will generally have far more obligations than an average adult citizen, who themselves will have more obligations than a child.[1] Obligations are generally granted in return for an increase in an individual's rights or power. For example, obligations for health and safety in a workplace from employer to employee maybe to ensure the fire exit is not blocked or ensure that the plugs are put in firmly.
The word "obligation" can also designate a written obligation, or such things as bank notes, coins, checks, bonds, stamps, or securities.
Other uses[ANDREE Black Brigitte Bardot Brigitte Bardot ANDREE Black XxRdqRwYedit]
The term obligate can also be used in a biological context, in reference to species which must occupy a certain niche or behave in a certain way in order to survive. In biology, the opposite of obligate is facultative, meaning that a species is able to behave in a certain way and may do so under certain circumstances, but that it can also survive without having to behave this way. For example, species of salamanders in the family Proteidae are obligate paedomorphs, whereas species belonging to the White Away AS Nike Roma 2016 2017 Shorts 0YaTU are facultative paedomorphs.
In the Catholic Church, SASHANE Vero Black Vero Moda Moda qwXqnH6tx or Holidays of Obligation, less commonly called Feasts of Precept, are the days on which, as canon 1247 of the Code of Canon Law states, the faithful are obliged to participate in the MassNike Sponsored Rivaldo Shirt 2016 17 Kids 10 Home Barcelona Red rXwxrgqdnY.

Part 1.
It's Valentine's Day week. Time to buy the cards and long-stem roses. Make those dinner reservations and hire a babysitter. It's time to remember the romance, even if it is at the prodding of Hallmark and the rest of the greeting card industry.
In our super cynical society, it's sort of sweet that most of us still choose to follow the routines – to take on the roles expected of us and read our lines dutifully. It's the least we can do. There's no harm in having days set aside to remind us to get out of our own routines and take an accounting of other people, especially those who are close to us.
So yes, I'm going to mark Valentine's Day the best I can. When you have small children doing so, it is all the more important. It's easy to get lost in the shuffle of work, school and activities.
So be a big boy or girl and get with the holiday spirit.
Part 2.
On the subject of love, there's a good opportunity coming up to show some for your neighbor. I'm not talking about the elderly couple next door or the family of five on the corner. I'm talking about the many people in the community you don't necessarily know who need blood.
On Sat. Feb. 23, the Chestnut Hill Community Association will hold its annual community blood drive at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy. The drive, which will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., will be conducted by Miller Keystone, an organization that supplies blood to local hospitals, including Chestnut Hill Hospital. A donated pint of blood will directly help a neighbor.
It's a small thing anyone can do to help someone in need.
To donate, save the date and call Noreen Spota at 215-248-8810 to make a reservation. Organizers are also looking for volunteers.
Part 3.
Last but not least, I'm going to strain "the spread the love" metaphor to note that soon – very soon – Philadelphia will be making a move to change the way everyone in the city pays property taxes. While the outcomes of a new property assessment system remain unknown, most prognosticators agree that nearly every homeowner in Chestnut Hill will see his or her tax rate go up and the tax bill increase.
The CHCA will have already hosted its second straight panel on the Actual Value Initiative (AVI). The first was very popular with Hillers looking for answers and a venue through which they could lodge complaints. I think it's safe to say there are few Hillers who won't mind paying more taxes.
While the theory behind changing property assessments in Philadelphia is sound – the current system is overly complicated and demonstrably regressive and thus unfair – a quick move to hike taxes for the well-to-do could backfire. It would be much more like spreading the pain than spreading the love. Many who face stiffer tax bills have the means to pack up and take their tax dollars elsewhere.
There's no doubt that many who live here right now really do love the city. And they love Chestnut Hill. But those feelings could quickly sour if there's any sense of unfairness.

31243, Hymns, Sons of Michael, He Approaches, no. 51
1. Sons of Michael, he approaches!
Rise, the ancient father greet.
Bow, ye thousands, low before him;
Minister before his feet.
Hail the patriarch's glad reign,
Spreading over sea and main.
2. Sons of Michael, 'tis his chariot
Rolls its burning wheels along!
Raise aloft your voices million
In a torrent pow'r of song.
Hail our head with music soft!
Raise sweet melodies aloft!
3. Mother of our generations,
Glorious by great Michael's side,
Take thy children's adoration;
Endless with thy seed abide.
Lo! to greet thee now advance
Thousands in the glorious dance!
4. Raise a chorus, sons of Michael,
Like old ocean's roaring swell,
Till the mighty acclamation
Thru rebounding space doth tell
That the ancient one doth reign
In his Father's house again!

Mangano, Kreisberg Pace Yale With 10 Points Apiece
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Defense has been a big reason why Penn is still in the hunt for the Ivy League title. Yale got to witness that first hand Saturday at the Palestra. The Quakers held the Bulldogs to 27.5 percent shooting from the field en route to a 68-47 victory before an enthusiastic crowd of 4,962.
Penn (19-11, 11-2 Ivy) remains a half-game behind Harvard. The Crimson wrapped up the regular season with a 67-63 win at Cornell to finish at 12-2 in Ivy play. The Quakers must beat Princeton on Tuesday to force a one-game playoff with Harvard for the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The Bulldogs finish the regular season with a 19-9 overall record and a 9-5 Ivy mark. Yale is a good candidate for some kind of post-season play. The 19 wins are the most for the Bulldogs since the 2001-02 team won 21. It is only the eighth time in school history that Yale has won at least 19 games.
Greg Mangano and Jeremiah Kreisberg each scored 10 points to pace the Bulldogs.
Senior Zack Rosen, who was playing his last regular season game in the Palestra, led the Quakers with 20 points. Rob Belcore added 11.
"Penn is a very, very good defensive team," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball. "We tried to move the ball and work it inside, but we didn't finish strong enough."
Reggie Willhite, Yale's second leading scorer, was limited by a hip injury suffered Friday against Princeton, and the Bulldogs were without the services of Michael Grace, who also suffered an injury against the Tigers.
Penn, which has won seven straight, shot 50 percent from the field and held Yale to 24 percent in the first half. Nine Quaker turnovers, though, helped the Bulldogs stay in the game, as they trailed by only eight, 30-22, at the intermission.
Penn then used a 20-2 run to open the second half to put the game away.
Greg Kelley scored seven points and grabbed four rebounds in five minutes off the bench in the second half for Yale. Armani Cotton and Javier Duren each scored three points.
NOTES: The Quakers outrebounded Yale 33-29 in the game… The Bulldogs were just 1-of-12 from three-point range… Yale did shoot 78.3 percent (18-of-23) from the free throw line… With Yale starting spring break on Monday, Jones has given the players the next five days off. The Bulldogs will begin practicing for the post season next Friday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the dose of Ambien, a widely prescribed sleeping pill, might be high enough the day after use to impair driving.
The FDA recommended the bedtime dose of zolpidem should be lowered because data showed blood levels in some patients might be high enough the morning after use to impair activities that require alertness such as driving.
Thursday's announcement focused on zolpidem products approved for bedtime use, which are marketed as generics and under the brand names Ambien, Ambien CR, Edluar and Zolpimist.
The FDA is requiring the manufacturers of these drugs to lower the recommended dose. The FDA recommended the dose of zolpidem for women should be lowered from 10 milligrams to 5 mg for immediate-release products such as Ambien, Edluar and Zolpimist, and from 12.5 mg to 6.25 mg for extended-release products -- Ambien CR.
The FDA also informed the manufacturers for men, the labeling should recommend healthcare professionals consider prescribing the lower doses -- 5 mg for immediate-release products and 6.25 mg for extended-release products.
For zolpidem products, data showed the risk for next-morning impairment was highest for patients taking the extended-release forms of these drugs -- Ambien CR and generics. However, women appeared to be more susceptible to this risk because they eliminate zolpidem from their bodies more slowly than men, the FDA said.
The FDA emphasized all drugs taken for insomnia could impair driving and activities requiring alertness the morning after use. Drowsiness is already listed as a common side effect in the drug labels of all insomnia drugs, along with warnings that patients might still feel drowsy the day after taking these products.
Patients who take insomnia drugs can experience impairment of mental alertness the morning after use, even if they feel fully awake, the FDA said in a statement.

About Perry K
Here in Toronto's chinatown there's all kinds of Angry Birds merchandise. At first glance, none of it looks officially licensed.
1. You probably meant to say already rather than allready? (spellchecker?)
2. You probably meant either students' ability or student's ability. (not sure if you were referring to the plural form)
3. You started your second sentence with conjunction.
4. You probably meant "I have to issue you a B" rather than "I have to issue with a B"
5. you probably meant to say "Spellcheckers work well" rather than good.
My unschooled son would have caught these errors. No, he hasn't been to school since grade 1.
As you can see, we all make mistakes. Stop nitpicking already.
So, how many lawyers at what rate for how long add up to $537 million?
I can't wrap my head around that number.
That movie was so awful, downloaders should get a refund from their ISP for any overage charges incurred that month :-)
too bad they don't allow any new registrations.
I never said 'last mile' I described both the last mile and getting the data to the NOC. All of those rental fees are paid for at cost + 15%
Even if those 3rd party aggregration links are fully saturated it makes no difference. If it did, then Bell didn't do their homework on submitting their costs for these tarrifs. If that's the case they should apply for updated GAS tarrifs instead of trying to both double dip and set retail rates for their competitors via UBB.
You're lacking full knowledge of how Bell's GAS access works apparently.
This isn't about what's reasonable. This is about Bell imposing additional retail based costs when 3rd party ISP have already paid for their bandwidth.
1. They pay Bell a fee per subscriber and this fee has been deemed by the CRTC to be 'fair and just' as per tarrif.
2. They pay a fee for each 1 Gb/s aggregration link to their NOC, again as per tarrif.
Now that the packets are in the hands of the ISP, so to speak, they should be able to decide how to manage that traffic. This includes paying for the upstream transit, their own routing gear, etc.
So why does Bell get to double dip and tack on an additional cost for something that the ISP delivers. Is Bell going to pay the upstream transit?
If anyone is looking for a free lunch here it's Bell.
I think a class action lawsuit demanding our money back for all who've seen this movie is more appropriate. That's a couple of hours of my life I'll never get back.
I've never heard of either company of these magnetic balls but now I'm inclined to get me some of the obviously better quality zen magnets
So will every device manufacturer make a special US version with FM as mandated and keep the original for the rest of the world?
Will my iphone sans FM be confiscated at the airport as I enter the US because it doesn't conform?
Maybe I can rent an FM tuner for the duration of my stay in the US?
This is one of the most ridiculous ideas I've seen in a while. It's not going to fly.
You mean counter terrorism isn't at like we see on 24?
You know, where data is magically filtered, decrypted and displayed on wall sized monitors in real time.
"And yet, we hadn't really heard of it actually working anywhere... until now."
Really, you have never heard of what basically amounts to a crude variation of a "salami attack" Mike. I'll leave it to interested readers to find the pertinent examples. This technique has been around for a lot of years in different forms.
This is better referred to as a carpet bombing approach. And given that they're pocketing 50% of the fines, why would they stop? So who authorized these clowns to to extort in the first place? Or can anyone start a business like this?
"whole clip full of silver bullets, coupled with some garlic, and finished off with a wooden stake or two."
Aren't silver bullets for werewolves and the rest for vampires?

Carol Kaye should move to Italy then she'd be able to sue Google for the illegal downloads.

"knowing that their rules will be in line with everyone else"
Say what now? You've just described the ratchet effect. These 'anti-counterfitting' negotiations include so much copyright measures it should be called the pro-copyrightholders treaty. Here in Canada we already have had some semblance of public consultations on copyright. That feedback from thousands of citizens basically made it clear we don't need more draconian measure like 3 accusations and you're out. Yet, according to you, in order to be 'in-line' with everyone else, our government should institute copyright law against the wishes of it's citizens?
Thanks, but no thanks.

What a week!First we have blizzard charging me to "unlock" content I already have installed, that I already paid them to develop, and now apple is goign to charge me to "unlock" the hardware they already sold me?
Hey, just because they didn't "advertise it" doesn't mean I didnt base my decision on it. The fact that 802.11n chips were in the latest MBP was one of my deciding factors when I bought it. It may not have been advertised, but it was a well known fact.

SOX is a paperwork nightmareMy wife works in SOX compliance at a large corporation and she spends a good her day approving work requests for other supervisers and submitting work requests to other supervisers. Job must be pre-approved by a few people before it can go on.
It will make even good coorporations bloat their management structure to handle the reporting requirements.

Sarbox?Revenue recognition has little to do with Sarbox but a whole lot to do with standard accounting practices. In accounting, the general idea is recognize revenue as it is earned and expenses when they are incurred. The net effect is that cash may or may not have been collected or paid when revenue is recognized or expenses are incurred. Sarbox is more of an auditing law that tells public corporations what and how they must be audited to some extent and greatly increases auditing costs. In all honesty this sounds a lot like the tubes argument that many of the telco execs have been using recently. In my opinion it would be a whole lot easier to simply roll out the 'pre n' activation codes or whatever as an Apple update. Apple could say, we sold the hardware, but the software, formware or whatever was not able to be finished due to lack of standardizations.
Russ Stebbins, 16 Jan 2007 @ 6:26am
BogusFor all the faults of SarBox, it has become the "national security' of the business world. It is an excuse for doing or not doing anything that won't bear close examination.
In Apples's case, it sounds like an excuse to charge extra for a feature already delivered. SarBox has damn little to do with the money grab, but it ends the discussion when trying to justify the extra charge.
Just like 'national security' stops any discussion of actions by a governmental agency
Re: Bogusamen to that.
like "el nino", sarbanes oxley has become a sort of magic word to deflect blame. the word already conjures up feelings of frustration, so it's a usual suspect for annoying policy or procedural changes.

Araemo, 16 Jan 2007 @ 7:50am
Re: The real important thing.I'm going to guess that burning crusade has been pre-loaded onto every WoW install, and blizzard is going to charge you to play Burning Crusade (Oh noes!)...
Really, I think that's a nice maneuver, allow people to download the seldom-changing assets as soon as they're ready, but keep them under lock and key until the full game is out (And even if some artwork does get changed between initial preload and final release, a good delta-based patcher should be able to minimize the download to get the new artwork.
Bumbling old fool, 16 Jan 2007 @ 9:06am
Re: The real important thing.Wait... what content is Blizzard charging me to unlock??
The entire expansion pack.
Every user, whether they re-activate their account or not, must get all content installed. Everyone who still plays on a regular basis already has all the content installed. All they need to do now is ( wait for their box to come in the mail / run to the store ) so they can go to the website and enter their account upgrade code to "unlock" said already installed content.

Great, let's make business more like government...because government is so great at getting things done.

Re: More Work! Less Money!(Of course, the prudent thing is to make government more like business.)
no thanks, the government is greedy and corrupt enough as it is... without the need to turn a profit.

US GAAP for revenue recognitionThe accounting rules that make Apple charge the extra fee are found in SEC's SAB 104 and AICPA's SOP 97-2 etc., collectively known as Revenue Recognition GAAP, and have nothing to do with SOX.
Bumbling old fool, 16 Jan 2007 @ 9:01am
Re: US GAAP for revenue recognitionuh, no.
I don't care what the regulations say. If Microsoft can provide patches that enhance the functionality of the system on existing hardware for free, so can Apple.
Their reluctance to do so is an indication that they would rather have 5$ than not have 5$.
It's nothing more than a money grab. The price they will pay for their 5$/head is measured in backlash.
another, 16 Jan 2007 @ 9:08amWell, I guess this gets people talking about something besides the stock backdating issue.
Anonymous Coward, 16 Jan 2007 @ 9:13amI fail to see how the product was incomplete before being shipped. If I desoldered that wireless controller from the motherboard and put it in my own circuit, I could put it into a new circuit and demonstrate its draft-n capabilities.
If you bought a computer, the silicon is complete and already has draft-n capabilities. Period. No revenue was unfairly recognized.
misanthropic humanist, 16 Jan 2007 @ 9:29am
collective punishmentI didn't realise you could stack bullshit this high. Sarbanes-Oxley is perfectly sensible stuff for the mostpart. It forces companies to be accountable, something that's long overdue.
In turn the companies behave like hostage takers who mete out collective punishment against their customers. Their attitude and strategy is simple, if it hurts us we will hurt our customers. By hurting our customers, blaming it on legislation designed to stop us behaving corruptly, and then pretending we are just passing on costs, that will create a groundswell against SOX.
No it wont. We see right though you Apple. This is just a lame excuse for an extra squeeze on your customers, so sod you your already overpriced products. Without SOX you'd be cooking your books and burrying the evidence.
Jack Sombra, 16 Jan 2007 @ 9:34am"First we have blizzard charging me to "unlock" content I already have installed, that I already paid them to develop, "
No you paid them to provide a service not impliment new features (which is what the expansion is)
The only reason it is already installed on your pc is so bliz don't have to maintain multiple versions of the same client/OS. Which is you think about it is the sensible thing to do, remember a few years ago Ultima Online had about 4 different live clients for the windows system (one from each expansion) which basiclly meant every single change had to be done 4 times
Bumbling old fool, 16 Jan 2007 @ 11:09am
Re: Blizzard Past PracticesNo you paid them to provide a service not impliment new features
Actually, that would be a matter of opinion. There was never a promise of new features, however...
Historically, blizzard has delivered more new content in incremental FREE patches then they have delivered in the expansion. So yeah, alot of gamers feel betrayed by blizzards decision to charge 3x monthly fee for what was historically free.
Also, I know many former WoWers that quit when they heard the price was announced. (yes, I have been playing that long) So this opinion is shared by others. Some of whom voted with their wallets.
Anonymous Coward, 16 Jan 2007 @ 9:40amSOX is the perfect excuse for either a.) screwing your customer b.) sitting on your ass c.) both.

but wait... that firmware will be free given a few days on share networks.... whoops.. you don't know this from me :)
anyway, u need not go to Harvard to do a firmware upgrade manually
rest just SOX for 5$

Duh?Don't we all already have it figured out that SOX is nonsense manufactured to create inefficiency within the private sector - which in turn creates taxable jobs? What better way to increase commerce than to create insane reasons to make it necessary? I bet data storage companies are happy.
Get over it and figure out how to make money off it like all the other smart people.
UniBoy, 16 Jan 2007 @ 10:54am
Watch out...Apple is just leading the pack of technology companies (as usual).
In the near future, ALL patches/updates/etc. will cost money. Either as a one-time cost for the update, or as an ongoing subscription cost that gets you all the updates as they become available. This is the direction the software industry WANTS to go anyway. SOX will be one little extra annoyance to help push it there.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, you do not actually OWN any of the software you purchased anyway. You simply bought a LICENSE.

SOX: the bane of ITI work in IT. SOX may have very good intentions, but in practice it's awful. IT staffs are already stretched thin, as companies try to compete as cheaply as possible, and now SOX gives IT people even more work to do.
And the benefit derived in comparison to the amount of mind-numbing paperwork involved has got to be negligible.
Every time I fill out yet another SOX form, I just want to kick the Enron and WorldCom guys in the face. Yes, I know there are others to blame besides them.
SOX is a key reason why I'm working on getting out of the IT field, or at least parts of it that require accounting.
Anonymous Coward, 16 Jan 2007 @ 11:58am
Re: SOX: the bane of ITDon't you get it though? SOX has actually "Created Jobs" in IT.
This is how government uses terms and stats to make themselves look good - when in reality they are destroying the future - both Democrats and Republicans.
Dave, 16 Jan 2007 @ 2:44pm
Re: Re: SOX: the bane of ITOh, yes. Jobs were created, all right. I will take your point with the apparent irony it seems to imply. I agree with you in the sense that politicians could try to make s**ty legislation go down easier by implying that it will create jobs.
Example: in the IT shop where I work with several hundred employees, guess how many jobs were created? A net gain of Zero. They took one person already working there, took her off the team she was on, and made her do SOX. One official SOX job, one job lost. Oh, and the unofficial SOX jobs: everyone in the shop has to waste their time filling in SOX forms every time they turn around.
Gee, I guess in one sense, it does create jobs. Each person is already overworked, so let's say each person has between one and two workloads. Now with SOX "tasks", each person has even more work, so there are actually more jobs, and each person gets several of them, all with no extra pay! Jobs created! Unsightly pounds lost!
I would bet that everybody who blithely says that SOX is just wonderful has never had to keep SOX records for every work product they create, and has never been through a SOX audit.
Potential merits of SOX aside, the SOX lovers would also be dumbfounded at the sucky implementation - it's laughable the list of things you currently need to do for SOX paperwork. I guess the government is at least trying to fix that now, so maybe SOX will suck less in the future.
Russ Stebbins, 16 Jan 2007 @ 2:59pm
Re: SOX: the bane of ITI agree that it is a PITQ for IT. But I still contend that Apple is using it as an excuse to get more revenue.
I admire Techdirt for blowing away the smoke and mirrors that companies use to justify questionable practices, but in this case, they seem to have bought into the horse manure without determining if there was a pony in there.
Yes, SOX is bad but using it as the causation for Apples upgrade charge seems tenuous
who pays?, 16 Jan 2007 @ 11:11am
charging for patches?Wait, if patches are charged to users who buy the SW, how do users charge companies for defects, bugs, and SW vulnerabilities in their software? If so, that will surely pay for my OS upgrades?
Where do we go if a patch fixes a vulnerability and at the same time makes the system work better or turns on other SW or HW?
This is a slippery slope.
Anonymous Coward, 16 Jan 2007 @ 12:13pm
Sox...Well, at my work we do monthly auditing of responders to credit card solicitations we send out. Before SOX we didn't take the auditing very seriously, but post-SOX compliance made us crack down. As a result we found out we were being quite unfair (i.e. pulling people credit credit reports, which lowers their scores, when we would never approve them for a card and giving people lower credit limits then our solicitations said) to some tens of thousands of customers a year. So, if not for SOX we wouldn't have found that. I dunno. You could make the argument that we should have been more rigorous in the first place, but we had no reason to.
MyNameIsMatt, 16 Jan 2007 @ 12:22pm
I'm with MisanthropicSOX is very good legislation that has a few problems, but in total it's a gain for us. What people are complaining about who work in IT, and I've experienced this too, is the extra overhead one has to do because of how a company perceives the SOX rules. However, it's the company's fault for that extra layer of crap because so many companies are overreacting and frankly scared of breaking the newish law that they don't fully understand.
Then, the big high paid executives bitch and moan that, "OMG," they have to sign the financial statements and are directly accountable now for what they sign, and they're being hindered in their job. God forbid we have some accountability in business. There are things that could be reworked and improved, but it's silly to blame the pains of new procedures that companies have put in place as an overreact to SOX on SOX because most companies are doing it to themselves.
Oh, and Apple is full of shit on this $5 thing.
b0b, 16 Jan 2007 @ 12:33pm
It's trueSarbanes-Oxley is a HUGE deal at Apple. People are whining about it on that dslreports thread. It's a whopping FIVE BUCKS, and Apple is very right about the SOx implications. It's a huge pain in the ass.
koz, 16 Jan 2007 @ 1:42pmI wonder if this is a real story anyway - perhaps it's just a way for Apple to get more publicity for (eventually) being generous to loyal fans and not charging them the "true cost" and getting to bash SOX at the same time.
If Apple give a thought lead to the faithfull it seems a lot of them then have great difficulty to think different.
a, 16 Jan 2007 @ 2:40pmSOX would only ever come into play in this case if Apple would have ever had to give back the $ after reporting the income after incorrectly accounting for the revenue. If they would never give the money back (which they never would) there is no issue.
This is all just PR.

Auditors are like the RIAAHowever, it's the company's fault for that extra layer of crap because so many companies are overreacting and frankly scared of breaking the newish law that they don't fully understand. Actually in our case, and I'm sure many others', its the auditors. Since there are no set standards, the auditors just keep making stuff up. Things that we passed on last year are suddenly too loose this year. The bastards are in a win/win situation. To paraphrase Shakespeare - kill all auditors. Torture them first, though. I'm sure that Worldcom and Enron were corrupt because some IT person didn't sign 12 forms and get 5 VP signatures before reloading the paper in a printer.

Horizontal monopolies get antitrust action- vertical monopolies get to abuse their customers. If MS & Dollar Bill tried this approach, the DOJ would haul them into court pronto. The Apple line on this is a bunch of hooey. Using this reasoning you couldn't make any changes to an operating system that provided any new functionality once it shipped.

Is Sarbanes-Oxley Forcing Apple To Charge You To UIs Sarbanes-Oxley Forcing Apple To Charge You To Upgrade Your WiFi?
The fact that regulation (like Sarbanes-Oxley ) causes unpredictable negative effects is indisputable, but one has to ask "How much collateral damage are we willing to accept?" Apple's�s puerile fudging with upgrade prices is probably more innocuous than Enron's�s fudging with grandpa's retirement. There are a lot more complaints about SOX from naive enthusiasts and from charlatans, than from people who really have a new product that can meet a market test. SOX has indeed scared away some offerings but many of them deserve to be scared. Apple, for example, spent time and money to design in locks (as is done by virtually every telco). Is that what progress is all about? The crucial point is illuminated in an old economic classic by Gordon Tulloch concerning tariffs, monopoly and thefts. We want more effort devoted to progress, not to locks and subsequently to lock-pickers. Further, SOX is preventing Apple, Shutterfly, and others from pre-booking the entrepreneur's dreamy-eyed projection of revenues. In the tech world we have been drowned by naive forecasts of revenue streams, never mind those spectacular projections from scam artists. If SOX has been a net loss to the economy, the proof will not come from complainants who want to pre-book unverified revenues, nor will it be from agents wasting time and resources designing locks to slow down innovation.
remember...A $0 update is STILL worth $0 in any accounting books anywhere.
Should be entered as such IF they are so worried that (offering) patches to their products will violate Sarbanes-Oxley.
Sarbanes-Oxley is for their mgmt to keep accurate records and so forth.. it should rarely effect any end-user process.

Journey Beyond with Australia's Great Train Journeys
Welcome to Rail Australia – the international brand for Great Southern Rail. Great Southern Rail has owned and operated The Ghan and Indian Pacific since 1997 when it became the first transcontinental rail business to be privatised in Australia.
There are few experiences quite like a rail journey throughout the vast and rugged continent of Australia.Imagine looking out your window as kangaroos hop across the vast Red Centre or as the morning light breaks over the peaks of the majestic Blue Mountains.
More than simply a mode of transport, The Ghan and Indian Pacific are unforgettable holiday experiences that allow you to explore some of Australia's most beautiful and intriguing destinations. While other travellers rush from point-to-point at 35,000 feet above the ground, these journeys offer an intimate perspective of the incredible scope of the country you are crossing.While the interior of the continent stretches before you, you are invited to share the spirit of expedition with your fellow travellers over a glass of wine, regional cuisine and time spent in amazing stops along the route. Whether you seek adventure or relaxation as an independent traveller, as a couple or as part of a group, The Ghan and Indian Pacific are just the ticket for a journey beyond the ordinary.
Originally dubbed the Afghan Express, The Ghan train was named for the pioneering cameleers who blazed a permanent trail into the Red Centre of Australia more than 150 years ago. Many cameleers were migrants from an area now known as Pakistan. However, according to outback lore in the 1800s, these men were believed to come from the mysterious outpost of Afghanistan and were considered Afghans – 'Ghans

You also have the option to complete the Red Centre experience by upgrading to a fly-in visit and tour of Uluru and on-the-ground tour, getting back in time for dinner and to rejoin The Ghan.
Enjoy a day in Coober Pedy, the sun-scorched opal mining capital of the world where many residents live underground. Venture into the tunnels and caves of this underground town, mine for riches and visit the stunning Outback moonscape that is the Breakaways.
Fitness: A good level of fitness with the ability to walk and balance on uneven ground is required.
It was 1969 before an uninterrupted rail link from the Indian Ocean in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east existed. The newly-named Indian Pacific train embarked on its inaugural transcontinental journey on 23 February 1970. As the name implies, the Indian Pacific cruises between two oceans on one of the world's longest and greatest train journeys, taking in goldmines, ghost towns and grapevines along the way. From the spectacular Blue Mountains to the Nullarbor Plain, guests see unique landscapes and a fascinating array of wildlife.
