We currently live across the street from Xaman Ha in a Condo we bought 16 years ago and have lived in ever since. You may notice from our picture that my wife and I have become the Playa area Santa and have enjoyed bringing happiness to thousands of children every year. We personally manage our property and live within two minutes of the Condo.

We have designed this field notebook in modules so that you can pick and choose which materials you wish to include. Pencils or special waterproof pens should be used to take notes. You will find different versions of the notecards in each of the sections according to what you will need to record for each lesson-- feel free to mix and match the cards to suit your needs. The pages can be printed out from the Word document in the attachment section at the bottom of the page. If you print them on 4 x 6 cards you can make a notebook that fits in your pocket and is sturdy enough to be used without a clipboard. If you use metal clip rings you can add pages and continue to expand the notebook for use on multiple field trips. You can modify the field notes any way you wish-- but try to include prompts for all of the important information you plan to record, and make sure that your notes will be understandable when someone else looks at them in future years (make notes explaining any abbreviations, add the year to the date line, etc.). Your notes could turn out to be really valuable if something happens, and you can use them when you report problems to the Riverkeeper. |

Visitors' Reviews/Comments
Prasad (February 2017)
Mr Raj, can you suggest a good travel agent in Gangtok, as need a Scorpio for travel to Lachen and Lachung and also for Nathula pass. Thanks
Raj (darjeeling-tourism.com) February 2016
I have suggested a few well known operators of Gangtok on this page (last section).
Shravan Kumar (January 2017)
Dear Sir, I have a 7 seater Maruti Suzuki Ertiga car with Bihar Registration number. This is my private car than can I allowed to drive my car in Darjeeling and in Gangtok as well for sightseeing and tourism. Please suggest me as soon as possible. Thanks
Raj (darjeeling-tourism.com) January 2017
Yes, you can take your private car to Darjeeling and Sikkim. However note that to travel to protected areas in Sikkim such as Tsomgo lake, Nathula, Yumthang etc, you need to get special permit for your vehicle from Sikkim Govt and army. Normally only vehicles from registered tour operators are permitted in such areas.
Riyaz (October 2016)
Hello. I'm a 23 old student, and planning to visit Darjeeling and Sikkim in mid-February. Is it a good idea during that time of the year? I don't mind the cold. Also, will the north Sikkim be accessible? I'm very curious to check out Yumthang Valley and Lachung. Since I'm travelling alone, is it possible to travel across Sikkim without booking with any tour operators? If yes, please suggest how. I want to cover a lot on a limited budget. Your response will be much appreciated. Thanks :)
Raj (darjeeling-tourism.com) October 2016
February is one of the coldest months in Darjeeling & Sikkim and roads in north Sikkim (Lachung, Yumthang etc) can be blocked with snow. If open on a day, you can visit. However most of these places are protected areas and you need to go through a registered operator. You can try to combine with other groups, but in winter it can be difficult finding tourists.
Ria Roy (September 2016)
Sir, I only want to know if it is mandatory to book any tour package from Sikkim Tour operators to see the tourist places of Namchi and Rabangla, and any other South Sikkim destinations. It is because I have found out that to visit North, West and East Sikkim there are mandatory tour packages, and tourists themselves cannot book hotels and cars/cabs there.
Raj (darjeeling-tourism.com) September 2016
There is no such restriction. If you have a rental car with driver, you can move around and go anywhere (except to places that require Protected Area Permits). Only protected areas such as Nathula, Lachung/Yumthang etc require that you go through registered tour operators. Namchi, Rabangla do not fall in that category.
Vankani Haresh S. (December 2015)
I had been at NJP, Bagdogra, Gangtok, Lachung, Nathula Pass, Pelling and Darjeeling from 17th Nov to 27th Nov 2015. It is a fact that there is no state bus services between the places mentioned above, one has to travel by taxi. Though I traveled all my destination shown above by taxi, I am not able to get a certificate regarding the state bus services are not available in between the places shown above which is very required in claiming LTC to Govt. employees. If the same certificate is issued and published on website the tourists may increase and will encourage the tourism. So Sikkim Govt must think on this to encourage tourism.
Kamal Kohli (November 2015)
Hello Sir, At the outset I must pay my respect and thanks for the amount of hard work you have done in providing this useful information for many tourists. I am planning to visit Gangtok and Darjeeling from January 1-9. I would like to ask you what all places will be accessible in Gangtok in January with a 6-year-old child. As I am from New Delhi, I have no information regarding Gangtok apart from you site. Your input will be useful.
Raj (darjeeling-tourism.com) November 2015
It's peak winter time. Most attractions and sites within Gangtok town will be open, but roads to high altitude places like Tsomgo lake/Nathula etc and north Sikkim like Yumthang will likely be closed due to snow.
Jayati (November 2015)
I am planning to visit Yumthang valley/Lachung in 2 days 1 night trip from Gangtok and Tsomgo lake and Baba mandir on other day in 1st week of March. I have my husband 2 years old son and 9 years old daughter. Please let me know if the road for these places will be open that time. Also for the kid what kind of precaution can be taken. I have heard of some small oxygen cylinder which is refundable if not used (with some charge). Is it available in Gangtok?
Raj (darjeeling-tourism.com) November 2015
End march and beginning of April is usually the time when roads to these places get cleared. But if you are lucky, the routes may remain open in 1st week of March as well. Portable oxygen cylinders are available at Gangtok.
Vijaya (May 2015)
Please inform me whether we can travel to Sikkim by our own vehicle? Also please inform me the cost of permit if any for nathula pass and yumthang. Can u pl let me know whether yumthang is worth visiting in Oct. Awaiting your expert and experienced advice so that we can plan our visit soon. Thanks n regards
Raj (darjeeling-tourism.com) May 2015
You can take your own private vehicle to Sikkim. However there are some restrictions for Nathula and North Sikkim. Usually vehicles from Sikkim government authorised operators are allowed in these areas. There are tour packages available from Gangtok. You can however take your own vehicle, but for that you need to obtain Sikkim police and army permits, vehicle fitness certificate from permit issuing authority, and also take a local guide along from Gangtok who will be your navigator. Your vehicle should be an SUV or 4WD vehicle to negotiate the bad roads. While Nathula road is not good, the road to Lachung and Yumthang is terrible. Permit cost is reasonable. For example permit to Nathula costs Rs. 200/- per person. October is a good time to visit Sikkim.

NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST NOVELS OF THE YEAR BY TIME AND LIBRARY JOURNAL�AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post � Esquire � U.S. News & World Report � NPR/On Point � St. Louis Post-Dispatch � BookPage � An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is the story of Amy�abandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions. But Special Agent Brad Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl and risks everything to save her. As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escape�but he can�t stop society�s collapse. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world. � �Enthralling . . . You will find yourself captivated.��Stephen King � �Magnificently unnerving . . . The Stand meets The Road.��Entertainment Weekly � �Great entertainment . . . [a] big, engrossing read.��The Dallas Morning News � �Mythic storytelling.��San Francisco Chronicle � The story of Amy continues in The Twelve, coming soon. Look for a special preview in the back of the eBook.
I kind of sort of hate it when a book comes out and it is compared to all of the other popular books in it's genre. I understand the need for comparison,so when someone looks at a book they can say oh this was compared to BOOK A, I really enjoyed BOOK A so I will probably enjoy this one. However, it does bother me when I've read all the books the upcoming read is compared to, so I wind up expecting it to be like them. This, friends, is what happened to me when I read The Passage by Justin Cronin. I had seen comparisons of the book to The Stand and to The Road, so I was leaning heavy on The Stand comparison, which I do think hindered the book for me.
The first act of The Passage by Justin Cronin is brilliant. You see, The Passage is a vampire-crossover-into-zombies book, but for grown-ups. What happens is the government, of course, creates this strain of disease to make people super human. Turns out they use death row convicts for test subjects, smooth move, Uncle Sam, smooth move. Of course, you all have seen delightful films such as 28 Days Later, so we all know what happens. THE EXPERIMENT GOES HORRIBLY WRONG. Me? I love that. I love seeing the breakdown of society. I like seeing that we aren't quite as infallible as we thought we were. Right, so there is this whole cast of characters in the beginning of the book which I got really attached to, and of course only one of those characters really makes it to the second part of the book. That character being Amy, who was also part of the experiment, but she's a normal girl, not a murderer, so she doesn't turn into a bloodthirsty viral.
Then, of course, we have the rest of The Passage by Justin Cronin to contend with. This part of the book does not deal with the same characters as the first half. Of course, the rest of The Passage is set 100 years into the future. Honestly, I thought that made The Passage a bit disjointed. I really did not care at all about the new characters at first, they were kind of just thrown at me. Later on, I did connect a little bit with the characters. However, they always seemed at arm's length to me, especially Amy who is in both parts of the book.
I think what Cronin does really well is society-building. He creates this community and gives it distinction and function. Then peoples the community with unique characters with quirks and personalities and such. The way he does this made his society believable. I think when you are building a world/community, you don't want the people's motivations and decisions to be contrived, so it really is something which I think takes skill and craft, which yes, Cronin has in spades.
I will say The Passage completely battered my emotions. It was tragedy, then oh ray of hope, then smash smash smash. I actually had to start reading a romance novel in the middle of reading The Passage, that's how much it affected my nerves. I mean, ultimately there is hope, but still I think so much tragedy is a cheap ploy on my emotions. I don't like being toyed with like that. Sure, it's wonderful when a book can have an emotional impact, I just don't know how to feel about it when that impact occurs over and over. It made me weary, and left me with conflicted feelings towards the book.
I would recommend The Passage by Justin Cronin with reservations. Don't read this expecting Abigail Freemantle, Larry Underwood, Trashcan Man, Stu Redman or Franny. Don't read this book expecting sparkling vampires. Don't read this expecting a super-quick read. I know I am a very fast reader, and this book took me over a week to read. Now, that's not a bad thing, it's just The Passage is literary so I had to take my time processing. Plus, hah, the pages are bigger than what I'm used to. However, if you are into societies, world breakdown, large casts of characters and epics, then by all means check this baby out.

Meritage Homes, the nation's 10th largest builder operating in Western and Southern markets from Florida to California, unveiled what the company says is the first production net-zero home in the country.
The 3,391-square-foot home built in Meritage's Verrado community in Buckeye, Ariz., is framed with staggered 2x6 stud walls, insulated with Demilec spray foam, and includes double-glazed low-E windows, 14-SEER air conditioning equipment, programmable thermostats and controls, Energy Star appliances, and LED and CFL lighting. These features comprise Meritage's standard energy package used in all its homes. The 5.6-kW PV system installed on this model brings it to net-zero.
Beyond energy, the company integrated IAQ measures like MERV-8 air filters and low-VOC interior products, as well as water-efficient products, reducing water consumption to WaterSense levels inside and out. The home sold for $322,140.
"The key to building deep green homes is credibility," says Meritage's vice president of environmental affairs, C.R. Herro, "and that comes from third-party verification. The key to bringing them into the market in a production environment is scaleability, which makes them affordable."
Meritage already builds homes with HERS ratings in the 20s in 21 communities, where it installs Echo Solar System's unique combo solar heating, DHW, and PV systems as a standard feature. Buyers can reach net-zero by increasing the size of the solar system with a $10,000 upgrade, and cover the additional cost with their federal tax credit for renewable energy systems. "We'll work with these buyers from the beginning, to match them with the right lot and elevation that can accomdate the larger systems," Herro says.
Meritage has been building 100% of its homes beyond Energy Star-certified levels since 2009 and this year's move to net-zero is something company CEO Steve Hilton describes as "the next phase in what we're calling a residential revolution." He goes on to say that the company's commitment to net-zero performance levels "illustrates how new homes can and shoud be built in the future to maximum energy efficiency."

Hi Carrad,
Have you tried to host your pictures on another website? I have used this one in the past: http://photobucket.com/
And when my quote is up on Blogger I will surely start using Photobucket again.
There is always Flickr too, but there are a limit of photos you can host for free there.
Hope I helped. xxOh No!
The photos from my camera are always 2 or 3 MBs in size..about 3 months into blogging I found I had used up a third of my quota...panic - I anticipated blogging would be a costly experience if I had to pay for space!! I'm not sure how I found out but I reduced the image size (to 800 pixels) of each photo as I uploaded it (individually - I have since realised you can do many at a time!!) I still have oodles of space 12 months on. I did back track and alter the size of some of the original images...but it was a bit laborious..and I only had a smallish number to do at the time. I realise this may not help you at the moment - but if you did have to invest in extra storage it might keep those MBs down in the future?!
Hope someone else has a more instant and cost effective solution for you Carrad - I do love your interesting photos!
Looking forward to hearing how others upload!
Ali xHi Carrad - I have only just seen your post about your beautiful little dog - I am so very sorry and, as you know, I totally understand how you are feeling. I haven't been able to post or comment on others since Monty died because I feel so empty. Hope Mr. C is OK too. I am thinking of you both and of course of little Bridget. Lily. xxx

A body dryer serves as a type of air dryer that takes the place of towels in your bathroom. They blow warm air onto your body after a shower, drying you from head to toe.

The Tornado Body Dryer, which according to founder Richard Bresnahan is the only full body dryer specifically configured to meet U.S. standards, goes directly into your shower.
A pod, which sits on the underside of the top of the dryer, intakes the air that blows out.
"Inside the pod there is a heating element, a fan and a motor to power the fan," Bresnahan says. "Attached to the underside of the pod and forming the leg of the dryer is an air tube. The air tube contains holes, or air jets. When the dryer is turned on, the fan forces warmed air down the tube and out of the air jets.
"The specially designed air tube causes the air to circulate in a swirling motion throughout the shower, thus promoting the even drying of the entire body from head to toes."
When you use a full body dryer, you don't need to use a towel. This means less of a mildew-like, wet towel smell stinking up your bathroom.
Air dryers work great for people with limited mobility who may not be able to use a towel to dry off their entire body.

"The benefits are really in the eyes of the beholder," Bresnahan says. "Some people buy the dryer because they want to create a spa-like experience in their shower. Others, like the elderly and physically challenged, buy because they have difficulty drying with a towel."
Lisa Anderson of West Jordan, Utah, says using a body dryer allows her to multitask, and she is able to take her body dryer a step further and use it to dry her hair once she's absorbed some excess moisture with a towel.
"I dry my hair in the shower while I am drying the rest of my body," Anderson says. "By the time I step out of the shower, I am completely dry, including my hair. The hot air feels amazing after a nice, hot shower.
"Since my hands are free while I am drying off, it gives me an excuse to squeegee my glass shower walls every time I am done taking a shower."
According to Bresnahan, a body dryer costs $1,995. However, he offers discounts to seniors and veterans, and he sometimes runs specials that can lower the cost by $200 to $500.
You'll also need to hire a licensed electrician to install the body dryer, which could add a few hundred dollars to the project.

This one looks like the real deal. Some of the others I've seen look like jokes.

I admit, I would stand in the hot shower extra time dreading turning it off and getting cold. It was conflicting, for I did not want to waste water! With the Tornado Body Dryer, I can go right into warm air. I love that!n I also can scrunch my hair with both hands to get it dry faster. Can't use two hands with a regular hair dryer!
Subject: Tornado Body Dryer
I recently installed one of these for a customer. Seems to work great and they really like it.
Subject: Body Dryer
After experiencing the body dryer, I really have no idea why ALL SPAS don't have them!!! Not only are they more efficient and lower costs, but they really heighten the luxurious experience! And, getting that at home, WHAT???!!! WHY not????!!!
Subject: Tanning salon body dryer
The tanning salon I go to has this body dryer. I do spray tans and it's always so cold when you get out of the booth. I love the warm air from the dryer and it dries my tan so much better than a towel ever does. Would love to get one (or a couple) for my house!

This thing sounds awesome. I will for sure add this to my remodeling plans.

Digital Scratch Pad
Digital Aircraft Recorder
These types of alerts can save precious seconds when an anomaly occurs and with spoken words rather than hearing a tones or buzzers. This helps the the pilot to quickly interpret what change of condition occurred.
The second function of flightmate® is the 2 1/2 minutes of "Scratch Pad" recording memory. An example on how this digital recorder can be used is as recall of procedures, such as Emergency or other checklist items. The pilot can created as many individual messages necessary, the only limit is the 2 1/2 minutes of recording time.

Available from all good bookshops... |
We had the fabulously talented Arielle Gamble as the book designer – and she and Tilly did all the step photos between them – and the result is a book that's as hugely good-looking as it is splendidly practical; always a winning combination.
There was a launch party at Drink Shop Do in London and I whizzed along to join in the congratulations to Tilly on her book. I had a fan-moment meeting Karen of Did You Make That (definitely need to go the The-Man–Outside–Sainsbury's soonest: have you SEEN the sequinned fabric Karen bought there?) and drank some deeeelicious gin and elderflower cocktails. Sadly, I had to scoot before the speeches, but I'm reliably informed that Tilly said nice things about me: thank you Tilly!
And in the post to day was this from Tilly:
The most creative Thank You I've ever had... |
Thank you, again, Tilly!

Debbie Almontaser?s lawyers claim that the Department of Education refused to consider her application for her old position on the basis of her merits. Almontaser had resigned as principal, and her lawyers are saying that resignation was coerced. The lawyers want the judge to halt the process of selecting Almontaser?s permanent replacement. They also want Almontaser re-introduced as a candidate and they want a disinterested third party to determine who should run the school. Defense lawyers for the DOE and the city indicated that they would argue Almontaser?s lack of qualifications removed her from consideration. The case is an urgent one for Almontaser, because if the judge doesn?t halt the selection process, a decision is expected within the next week or two. Almontaser left the Khalil Gibran International Academy in August after criticism for her failure to condemn the use of the word "intifada" on T-shirts. The Arabic term is commonly used to refer to the Palestinian uprising against Israel.

Obviously, you didn't buy your CJ7 unless you knew that you wanted dependability and great value both rolled up into one vehicle. You purchased your CJ7 because its ruggedness and versatility struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? When your Jeep CJ7 was born, it was destined for a driver who wants a fun driving experience in their automobile. Anyone who drives a Jeep knows that when it comes to fixing their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Maintaining a clean appearance for your engine is visually rewarding and prevents the electrical connectors from get gummed up. Jeep CJ7 valve cover gaskets keep oil that would normally lubricate the camshaft, rocker arms, and lifters inside the valve train rather than all over the rest of the engine. This means that the timing components on top of the cylinder head will last longer thanks to your valve cover gaskets. The valve cover gaskets on your Jeep CJ7 engine are made of materials that can withstand high temperatures for years and years.
Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Don't let a Valve Cover Gaskets & Seals repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the best repair parts. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy.

As predicted the GOP is using the ACA delay as a talking point.WASHINGTON Republicans seized upon the administration's abrupt delay of the employer mandate in the health care law as fresh evidence that President Barack Obama's signature domestic policy is unworkable and should be repealed, an argument that energizes the party base ahead of 2014 congressional elections. But the White House's willingness to respond to the concerns of business and avoid the specter of job layoffs due to the unpopular health care law spares Democrats one political headache in next year's races. "The best delay for Obamacare is a permanent one," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Wednesday, hours after the administration announced a one-year delay in requiring businesses with 50 or more employees to provide health coverage for their workers or pay a penalty. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/03/gop-obamacare_n_3542776.html?ref=topbar

1. The GOP was going to scream no matter what happens.
Its too fast, too slow, too big, too small, too high, too low, too long, too short.
As an example ... they claimed the original legislation was pushed through too fast, even though it took 9 months. They have a talking point for all situations. |

2. If people were seeing results, it wouldn't matter
The only reason the GOP can scream about is that it's not working

4. That sounds like "the GOP only screams if it has the facts on its side". Is that what you meant?
My guess is that the GOP could and would scream about it (and many other things) whether it is working or not. Their base hates it so promising to "repeal" it is part of their campaign strategy.
Like many of their party's policy likes and dislikes, there is little connection between republican policy choices and what actually works in the real world. It is all about fear and emotion and pushing their base's buttons. |

5. That would be like running against Medicare or SS
If the US had a working Single Payer NON PROFIT healthcare program for all, any political party running against it would be committing suicide

3. I'm sure Obama expected this
The GOP is going to use the ACA as a talking point no matter what. I'd guess Obama decided the "delay talking point" will be better than the "implementation talking point" the GOP would have without the delay.
Maybe it just can't be implemented fast enough (3-4 years?) and the GOPs "implementation talking points" won't work in 2016. Or maybe Obama knows just how bad the implementation will be and something else will be needed before 2016 (like taking over the house and making major changes to the ACA) Or maybe it will need to be delayed again past 2016. |

Sort: Part two of 'Everneath.'
Review part 1. Everneath.
Nikki Beckett could only watch as her boyfriend, Jack, sacrificed himself to save her, taking her place in the Tunnels of the Everneath for eternity — a debt that should've been hers. She's living a borrowed life, and she doesn't know what to do with the guilt. And every night Jack appears in her dreams, lost and confused and wasting away. Desperate for answers, Nikki turns to Cole, the immortal bad boy who wants to make her his queen — and the one person least likely to help. But his heart has been touched by everything about Nikki, and he agrees to assist her in the only way he can: by taking her to the Everneath himself. Nikki and Cole descend into the Everneath, only to discover that their journey will be more difficult than they'd anticipated — and more deadly. But Nikki vows to stop at nothing to save Jack — even if it means making an incredible sacrifice of her own.The thing is: if I love the first book, I'm excited and scared for the second one at the same time. Most of them suffer from the second-book-is-lame-syndrome and it always spoils the excitement I felt after the first one. That is not the case with Everbound and that is prove for me that Ashton knows how to write a good, interesting story. You can read the summary if you haven't read Everneath yet. My summary gives about the same information as the blurb.
I must admit that I had a bit of a struggle at the start (that's the reason why this book is rated with 4/5 instead of 5/5 like Everneath). Nikki was a bit too whiny for my taste, but that changed quickly after her decision to save Jack. She is willing to do everything, so instead of complaining, she acts. I admire her for her strength and how she stood up against Cole. It's always a relief when the MC doesn't need anyone to save her. Nikki is quite capable of doing things on her own and she is intelligent enough to make clever choices. And when she does make a mistake (because she's not perfect at all) they are understandable.
And Cole.. I do like him, but damn, he manages to give me mood swings. When I finally start to think he is good, he pulls another trick. The complexity and unpredictability of his character are great and he completes the story. Jack is just a sweetheart, but he doesn't get much time to shine in this story.
The world-building was interesting. I liked the background story about the Everneath and the different trials Nikki needs to survive in order to save Jack. The queen definitely likes her privacy, because those rings around her house (in the centre) are hard! I knew the queen's identity for a while, but I still like the story Ashton created here.
The twist at the ending was awesome. I didn't see it coming and I was surprised how cunning Cole really is. His way to trap Nikki was crafty and I must say: well played boy! I really liked the somewhat closed ending, but it still makes me very curious and excited for Evertrue!
