E. Coli Outbreak Sickened Dozens In New York and New Jersey. An E. coli outbreak that sickened dozens in New York and New Jersey apparently has spread to Pennsylvania, where four food-poisoning cases in Montgomery County prompted health officials to investigate, and Taco Bell to close all of its restaurants in the county Tuesday.
The Mexican fast-food chain, which has been implicated in the outbreak in New York and New Jersey, voluntarily closed its nine Montgomery County locations after at least three people who ate at the company’s Gilbertsville area eatery became ill, according to Harriet Morton, a spokeswoman for the county’s Health Department.
The department still hasn’t determined if the restaurant, on E. Philadelphia Avenue in Douglass Township near the Berks County border, was the source of the outbreak and hasn’t identified a specific food source that caused the illnesses. Investigators still are trying to determine if the cases in all three states are linked.
Four Montgomery County residents, all males between the ages of 11 and 20, were sickened in late November by the E. coli bacteria, Morton said. Two were hospitalized but later released, Morton said, adding that none of the four was seriously ill.
In New York and central New Jersey, where about two dozen people were sickened, nine people remained hospitalized Tuesday, including an 11-year-old boy in stable condition with kidney damage.
The illnesses followed at least three U.S. deaths in October stemming from an E. coli outbreak tied to California spinach.
Taco Bell, which says it serves 35 million customers weekly at 5,800 restaurants, didn’t immediately comment on the Montgomery County cases, but released a statement saying there has been no confirmation that its restaurants were the source of the outbreak in New York and New Jersey.
The company says it threw out all food at the restaurants that were closed and ”completely cleaned and sanitized the restaurants, utensils and cooking equipment.”
Greg Creed, Taco Bell’s president, said the company is working closely with health officials to ”determine the root cause of this.” There was no word on how long the Montgomery County restaurants might be closed.
Texas-based McLane Co., which distributes food to all Taco Bells in New Jersey and the New York City area, said Taco Bell representatives, along with state and federal inspectors, have toured its Burlington, N.J., distribution center.
Taco Bell Was Closing Down
News that Taco Bell was closing down for the day came as a disappointment to customers visiting the Montgomery Township and Lansdale locations Tuesday night.
Motorists who were lined up to order at the drive-through window at the Montgomery Township restaurant on Route 309 waited in line for about five minutes before realizing it was closed.
”It’s scary,” said Katie O’Neill of Ottsville, who was waiting in line for three tacos.
Chris Benner of Perkasie was looking forward to getting a half-dozen soft tacos and a Burrito Supreme when he visited the Taco Bell on Broad Street in Lansdale. His wife, Monica, said she had heard about the E. coli outbreak, but Chris said, ”I totally forgot about it.”
Although the lights were on inside the Lansdale restaurant, a sign at the entrance told visitors: ”We are temporarily closed. We are sorry for any inconvenience.”
Rich Vetter, manager at the nearby Lansdale Family Restaurant, said the joint Taco Bell-Long John Silver’s closed about 4 p.m.
E. coli, or Escherichia coli, is a common and ordinarily harmless bacteria, but certain strains can cause abdominal cramps, fever, bloody diarrhea, kidney failure, blindness, paralysis, even death.
It is found in the feces of humans and livestock. Most infections are associated with undercooked meat. The state Department of Health says most healthy people recover from the illness within a week.
Morton said county health officials were notified of the illnesses by hospitals or physicians’ offices. She said the investigation is ”in the beginning phases,” and ”it might be a while” before results of tests done on the four patients, whose names were not released, are known.
In New Jersey, officials said their investigation probably would focus on produce, not meat, because some of the people who ate at New Jersey Taco Bells and were infected with E. coli are vegetarians.
The outbreak has underscored the risk of widespread outbreaks of food poisoning at fast-food chains.
”Fast-food restaurants don’t purchase ingredients down at the local farmers market. They purchase food nationally, process it nationally and ship it

There is no doubt that Thor was among one of the most hyped films of the year. It did come to be a box office shatter right at the end of its run. However the genuine question is, were the movie’s incomes boosted by its quality? Or were they just increased by outstanding advertising and marketing? In this post, I will attempt to respond to that question with a little bit of individual observation.
As a fan, I constantly look for flicks that have truly good story lines as well as excellent acting performances. Thor was absolutely in this organization. The aesthetic allure of this motion picture, that made it a split second hit is definitely outstanding.
The visual appeal of the movie has actually created a great deal of buzz around the flick. This is understandable. It is a modern epic fantasy which places modern drama to a whole new level. Thor is a character who is mythical. This alone immediately increases the assumptions for an excellent flick.
So, what failed with Thor? Well, I have no suggestion. That is most likely a concern that is finest entrusted to the creative imagination. Let me just claim that while the flick had amazing cinematography, the performing was not at the same level with the standards established by the previous Thor movies. The performing was satisfactory but not up to par.
Allow us consider the other Thor motion picture which appeared earlier this year, Thor: The Infinity War. This motion picture had a grand-scale drama as well as a number of unique effects, which make sure to draw in a variety of viewers. This film did refrain along with expected. Its monetary performance is excusable though. Therefore, Thor’s efficiency does not always mean that Thor 2 will certainly be a big flop.
The other fascinating variable concerning Thor is its supervisor. Kenneth Branagh is currently the most popular name in the motion picture making company. His previous Thor film, The Sight, was a box office hit. This is most likely because Thor is such a precious personality. If you are a substantial follower, you would intend to see the flick every opportunity you obtain. Chris Hemsworth Wig
For this reason, Thor flick incomes are anticipated to continue to skyrocket through the next number of months. The film will definitely end up being a big hit, and this is all because of the gifted celebrities like Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, as well as Anthony Hopkins. All these actors set up great efforts in the film.
Thus, Thor has actually once more shown itself to be among the most prominent flicks this summer season. Sales of tickets have actually been great up until now, and also word of mouth has likewise been good. With solid profits anticipated, it is simply an issue of time prior to Thor ends up being a smash hit. Who recognizes – it could also wind up being the year’s top earning flick?
This is simply the beginning for Thor, however. There is still a great deal of amusement left in the flick. The very best aspect of this comics journey is that it takes care of to be both amusing and educational at the same time. There is great value in the story since it takes on vital issues that are really felt by lots of people.
One of things that make this movie worth seeing is Hemsworth. He plays the role of Thor, an average guy who was changed into an amazing warrior by the belongings of a captivated hammer. This is one of the most engaging characters in all of literature. If you do not want to check out another comics story concerning this subject, this is among the much better ones that you can enjoy. The story itself is great.
Thor’s appeal has brought about huge revenues. The flick has broken box office records with its ticket sales. The reason that Thor is doing so well is because Hemsworth is an extraordinary actor with a wonderful figure. This is a man who will fit right in as an action star when flicks featuring this character are released.
Another point that is wonderful about Thor is the voice of Chris Hemsworth. He is an incredible star that can take any duty that he is offered. You will certainly observe this with his newest film Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He took control of the starring role from Anthony Hopkins. Hemsworth has additionally obtained several honors for his acting skills, consisting of an Academy Honor for his operate in the movie. Chris Hemsworth Wig

Which Alabama high school has produced the most NFL players?
Sixteen Vigor High School alumni have played in at least one NFL regular season game, according to profootballreference.com. This makes Vigor the Alabama high school that has produced the most NFL players.
But Vigor may soon share that title with a mobile school about 5 miles from Prichard Institution.
· SLADE BOLDEN AMONG PLAYERS RELEASED FROM NFL ELEMENTS
· KENYAN DRAKE SAW WRITING ON THE WALL IN LAS VEGAS
· TEXANS SEE JOHN METCHIE III’S “SPECIAL SMILE” AGAIN
The profootballreference.com roster shows Murphy and Woodlawn as Vigor’s No. 2 in Alabama with 15 NFL players each, and the Panthers have a rookie on the Las Vegas Raiders’ preseason roster.
If defensive tackle Neil Farrell Jr. plays this season, he would tie Murphy with Vigor for first place at Alabama. Farrell joined Las Vegas as a fourth-round selection in the April 30 NFL Draft.
Four Alabama high schools each had three alumni on NFL rosters when training camps opened — Central in Phenix City, Hoover, James Clemens in Madison and Oxford.
According to a BeenVerified survey, the high school with the most players on NFL training camp rosters was IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, a private school that has students from across the country. IMG had 19 players in training camp, ahead of 16 from St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and 12 from American Heritage in Plantation, Fla. With 11, Allen High School in Allen, Texas was the only other school with more than eight players.
By state, NFL training camp rosters had 336 former high school players from Texas, 293 from Florida, 285 from California, and 232 from Georgia. Then came a big drop to No. 5, with Ohio at 117.
Alabama high schools had 87 players on training camp rosters, which ranked ninth, with Louisiana, North Carolina and Pennsylvania between Ohio and Alabama.
BeenVerified also studied the league’s entire 102-season history and found that Fork Union Military Academy, a private college-prep boarding school in Virginia, produced 63 NFL players, the most among high schools in the country.
Long Beach Polytechnic placed second as the top public school on the list. The school in Long Beach, Calif., has 59 alumni who have appeared in at least one NFL regular season game. Only one other school had at least 40 – Saint Thomas Aquinas with 42.
In addition to Vigor, Murphy and Woodlawn, seven other Alabama high schools have had at least 10 NFL players – Anniston and Lee-Huntsville with 12 each, Sidney Lanier, Carver-Montgomery and Central-Phenix City with 11 each and Lee-Montgomery and Blount with 10 each.
Lee-Montgomery could add to his 2022 total with defensive end Sam Williams on the Dallas Cowboys as a 2022 second-round pick. Williamson could get his 10th NFL alumnus this season with cornerback Roger McCreary on the Tennessee Titans as a 2022 second-round draft pick.
Farrell, Williams and McCreary are among 16 Alabama high school rookies still on NFL rosters.
Overall, 708 players from 259 high schools in Alabama have played in at least one regular season game in the NFL, which ranks 12th among states.
California, with 3,116, had the most high school players who played in the NFL. Texas with 2,709, Florida with 1,833, Ohio with 1,563, Pennsylvania with 1,446, Illinois with 1,064 and Georgia with 1,052 also have more than 1,000.
Between Georgia and Alabama are Louisiana, Michigan, New York and New Jersey.

New rules in place to battle bullies
August 21, 2012
Bullies in Douglas County schools have been put on notice, as well as those people responsible for reporting acts of bullying.
School board members last week approved the first reading of changes to board and administratively policies collectively entitled, “Safe and Respectful Learning Environments.” The changes comply with new state laws that not only define bullying, including cyber-bullying, but mandate specific actions be taken in instances of bullying.
“The NRS has done what it intended to do — bring it to our awareness,” said Assistant Superintendent Lyn Gorrindo. “Administrators are aware of the importance of documenting it.”
“What distinguishes bullying from other forms of childhood aggression is unequal power,” reads the revised administrative regulation. “(Bullying) is intended to cause or actually causes the person to suffer harm or serious emotional distress.”
According to state law, this definition encompasses chronic teasing and ridicule, especially name-calling, physical assault against a person or property, threatening gestures or glances, social exclusion in school-related activities, and acts of sabotage, such as tampering with a student’s course work.
In the brave, new world of digital media, cyber-bullying means such behavior conducted using any electronic communication, whether email, text messaging, or social networking sites.

Per state law, the policy changes protect any student or employee who reports bullying.
“The school district prohibits retaliation against any employee or student because he or she has made a report of bullying, cyber-bullying, harassment, or intimidation, or because he or she has testified, assisted, or participated in the investigation of such a report,” reads the revised board policy.
The changes go a step further than protection, though. In the new administrative regulations, there’s a compulsory provision.
“Any school district employee who witnesses or receives a report, formal or informal, written or oral, that bullying, cyber-bullying, harassment, and/or intimidation has occurred at school, at a school-sponsored event, or on a school bus, shall report the incident(s) to the principal or the principal’s designee,” the regulation states. “The report of a violation must be made verbally to the principal or designee noted above on the day on which the employee witnessed the violation or received information regarding the occurrence of a violation.”
The provision also states that any intentional failure to report bullying “is a basis for which a teacher may be suspended, dismissed or not re-employed.”
On Tuesday, district staff members said they would present more specific data on bullying later this fall. They did say that overall incidents declined this last year.
Superintendent Lisa Noonan pointed to student-run programs, such as Safe School Ambassadors and Random Acts of Kindness, as contributing factors.
“All these efforts combined help us lower rates of inappropriate activity,” she said.

To enhance the light extraction efficiency of a resonant cavity light-emitting diode (RCLED), a soft embossing technique was developed to fabricate a 2-D grating on the RCLED output surface. The optimal 2-D grating parameter was designed by a rigorous coupled wave analysis code. By embossing the 2-D grating on the output of a commercial RCLED, a 49% light extraction enhancement was achieved using a novel high refractive index (n = 2) TiO2 sol-gel and a 24% enhancement using a UV curable polymer with lower refractive index (n = 1.56). The overall emission pattern was also modified making the patterned RCLED potentially easier to couple into a fiber.

Betty was asked who among her exes was the most memorable and in response she said, “No, I don't want to mention who is my most memorable love experience. It is simply because everyone brings a different experience someone who is going to love for being Betty and not Betty Kyallo and there are different experiences that you get from dating different people."
For further explanations, the business woman added, "I cannot say there is one who is better than the other because all of them had something special they brought to the table."
Betty was asked whether she intimidates men to which she replied, "Yeah, of course," adding, "When I was younger I would be intimidated but not this Betty right now, not the current Betty. Right now you cannot intimidate me. I work hard, I make my own money and right now I don't need a man to compliment me financially."
"I would like to date Steve Harvey because I feel like the way he treats that woman... and he has a personality that is out there and he is so big and he has flair…” Betty answered when asked who she would want to date.

Chemoembolization and chemotherapy are two different approaches for delivering cancer-fighting drugs used in clinics in Germany. With chemoembolization, also called transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), the chemotherapy medication is injected directly into the artery supplying blood to the tumor, along with embolic agents to block off the tumor’s blood supply. This concentrates the chemotherapy in the tumor while minimizing exposure to the rest of the body. In contrast, systemic chemotherapy circulates with blood and can reach cancer cells throughout the body.
The essence of chemoembolization and chemotherapy
Chemoembolization, also called transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), is a minimally invasive intervention performed by interventional radiologists to deliver concentrated chemotherapy directly to tumors, typically in the liver. During the transarterial chemoembolization procedure a thin catheter is threaded through the femoral artery up to the artery supplying the tumor. Chemotherapy agents are infused through the catheter directly into the tumor’s arterial blood supply, along with embolic materials like gelatin sponges, microspheres or beads that lodge in the tumor’s blood vessels.
Treatment of cancers with chemoembolization has a dual effect – emboli block blood flow specifically to the tumor, trapping the highly concentrated chemotherapy inside for a prolonged period, while also cutting off the tumor’s arterial blood supply to augment the anti-cancer effects through ischemia.
In contrast, systemic intravenous chemotherapy is administered into a vein and circulates throughout the body via the bloodstream after each treatment session. It can reach small deposits of cancer cells that have spread far and wide, beyond the primary tumor site.
However, only a small fraction of the chemotherapy dosage administered actually reaches these tumor sites, while the majority circulates through the rest of the body. This subjects healthy tissues and organs to toxicity and side effects. TACE allows 5-30 times greater concentration of chemotherapy drugs inside the hepatic tumors compared to intravenous administration.
When chemoembolization is preferred
For treating primary liver cancers like hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), TACE results in chemotherapy concentrations within the tumor that may exceed 30 times what can be achieved by intravenous chemo. Consequently, response rates are substantially higher, in the range of 35-60% for TACE versus 10-20% for systemic intravenous chemotherapy in HCC cases. In addition to the tremendously higher localized chemotherapy delivery, TACE leverages synergistic anti-tumor effects by inducing ischemia through artery occlusion.
However, its effects are fairly localized to the structures fed by the target arteries. TACE usually cannot effectively treat cancers that have already metastasized extensively outside the liver to distant organs like the lungs or bones. In such cases, intravenous chemotherapy circulating through the bloodstream can better reach dispersed tiny deposits of cancer cells throughout the body.
In Germany, TACE is widely available and extensively performed for inoperable intermediate and advanced stage HCC, as well as for liver metastases from primaries like colorectal cancer when systemic chemotherapy alone is deemed likely insufficient after multidisciplinary evaluation.
Appropriate candidates are selected based on precise review of parameters like tumor burden and spreading, liver function diagnostics, presence of vascular invasion or extrahepatic spread, comorbidities, vascular anatomy and other factors through tumor boards. Repeated TACE sessions every 4-8 weeks are often implemented for sustained antitumor effects.
Undergoing chemotherapy abroad
In summary, TACE provides an extremely valuable, specialized capability for targeted delivery of remarkably high concentrations of chemotherapy preferentially to liver tumors, while systemic chemotherapy remains an essential treatment pillar for combating metastatic cancer with dissemination to multiple organs beyond the liver.
Oncology teams at specialized cancer centers across Germany thoughtfully leverage the strengths of both techniques to match the appropriate therapy method and agents to each individual patient’s specific disease presentation, treatment goals and clinical context. Both treatment methods are offered at the university hospitals across the country, at numerous community medical centers equipped with interventional radiology capabilities, and at specialized outpatient interventional radiology clinics.
On the Booking Health website you will find a list of the specialized healthcare facilities that offer chemoembolization in Germany and information about the cost of chemotherapy in Germany. You can check prices and choose the affordable cost being sure that no additional fees will be required. The Booking Health team has been arranging treatment abroad for people from over 70 countries for over 15 years, so do not hesitate to leave your treatment request.

I have a RockShox Reverb seatpost on my mountain bike and it is a great piece of technology for remotely adjusting the height of the saddle.
However, some people have expressed concern, as the seatpost is exposed to the elements, that there may be some risk of contamination of the inner mechanism of the Reverb. I think that the seals on the Reverb are good enough to keep the unit contamination-free but there is always that nagging doubt in the back of the mind.
When rides are going to be muddy, people normally attach a full rear mudguard to protect themselves and this would also keep the Reverb clear of mud. But there are some days where a ride just does not warrant a full rear mudguard, such as on hot sunny days, but there may still be a chance of coming across mud.
I decided to get one of those thin mini-mudguards such as the Ass Savers “SmartAss” or Mucky Nutz “Butt Fender” that attach to the saddle rails, with the intent to see if I could modify it to act as a permanent mudguard for the Reverb. So I bought a “SmartAss” http://ass-savers.com/ and re-shaped it with scissors such that I could still attached it to the saddle rails but also bend it through nearly 80 degrees to cover the Reverb. I also use a street-legal rear reflector (with red LED) that mounts on the saddle rails and this was essential to keep the SmartAss bent at that approximately 80 degree angle. I’m sure that there are other solutions to keeping that SmartAss held at that angle. The angle is such that it does not get in the way of attaching a full rear mudguard. The SmartAss is also just clear of the rear tyre when the Reverb is fully down and is still usable with a full rear mudguard and the Reverb all the way down; I still need to test this more fully on the trails.
Today was a nice spring day (finally!) and I wasn’t about to attach a rear mudguard. So I went riding and soon came across a number of muddy holes. No problem. See photo below straight after the ride (note that the white skull is a reflective sticker that I attached on the SmartAss).
As you can see, the modified SmartAss has done a very decent job of keeping the Reverb mud-free. I’m still not convinced at all that the Reverb needs this additional level of protection but the modification is cheap and gives that peace of mind. Result!
I hope to post a long-term review later this year.

Tremendous breakfast choice and quality Friendly and helpful staff Cosy rooms Value for money Clean Location Parking Wifi
Dated, but at that money what do you expect
Central location Private room Good food Friendly staff
Excellent food. Competent and friendly staff.
No negatives at all.
The service was perfect, never intrusive but always exactly what was needed. Sometimes its the little things that make the difference. I asked for more toast and the waitress brought more butter as well.....simple but would have been missed in so many other places.
Personal Service and lovely staff..
The room was lovely but could hear neighbours due to thin walls
The food was excellent The staff were helpful and very pleasant
fantastic staff and great food
bed was too soft, but otherwise no issues
The main focus for our overnight stay was for relaxation from the stresses of every day life. We have stayed here before and will definitely stay again. It is close enough from home to travel but far enough away to feel like a million miles away!
Didn't like is a bit strong but when we got there we were shown into a room that hadn't been made up. We were swiftly moved into another room however.
Location Breakfast Shower Cleanliness Staff
The headboard on the bed was broken, everytime you moved in bed it banged against the wall.
Food – Phenomenal breakfast spread, which comes free with the stay. On the last day they even packed breakfast for us since our train was at 8am. Property – Nice place with gardens and individual cottages. By far the largest rooms we stayed in during our UK trip. The only complain would be that the lights in the room were a bit too dim and dull.
Location – Very close to the Windermere lake, but slightly away (10-15 minute walk) from the main town area which has all the shops and restaurants Price – It was not very cheap. But given the property, rooms and breakfast, probably fair.
lovely food friendly staff
heating too high in rooms
The location to Bowness center is ideal. We arrived too early to check in but the staff were friendly & helpful. Our room was very comfortable & the breakfast...perfect !
The staff were brilliant The bed was comfortable The location perfect nice and quiet and only a short stroll to the amenities
The toilet in our room didn't flush The food was ok but expensive
Location, staff, food and atmosphere of the highest standard. One very minor suggestion is that the room was a little dated and tired and would benefit from a slight refurb. However, the room was spacious, clean and had a very comfortable bed and a balcony as a bonus I would give the hotel 9/10.
Beautiful room, bed was very comfortable. Morning on the balcony was nice. The options for hot drinks in the room were here well catered. Good toiletries. Breakfast was nice but no croissants available. Staff were excellent.
The toilet was loose. No other complaints.
A shout walk from Lake Windermere this cosy hotel was comfortable and the welcoming staff ensured we had all we wanted. Plenty of choices at breakfast from fruit and cereals to eggs benedict.
Can't think of a down side. If there was a problem the staff would have put it right
Family run Staff Room Breakfasts Location
Bed could have been a bit bigger and more comfortable but this wouldn't put us off booking again.
Excellent breakfast bed was big and comfortable and room was warm and cosy and clean .
Although room was clean thought carpet could of done with a clean
The facilities, customer service, food and everything else at Burn How could not be faulted. Would gladly return again and again and I cannot recommend highly enough.
We thought it was a great hotel, excellent location, great hotel with a good sized room with a terrace, the breakfast was lovely and staff very accommodating and friendly.
Breakfast was superb
We stayed in a family room with our 2 year old grand daughter, room was comfortable with double bed and 2 singles but very overpriced at £170... £100 is more realistic.
Food and service was excellent. Staff were courteous and polite.They were also very helpful with any queries we had about the surrounding area.Would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a comfortable hotel in a good location.
Nothing to dislike.
The breakfast was beautiful The staff very friendly and welcoming Very close to the lake, we walked to the little car ferry and close to the boat tours Although we were 5 in a room it felt very spacious and bathroom clean and good size
Location and ease of parking, rooms (standard room) heating dining room. Amount of options for breakfast, (see comment on dislike)
Cumberland grill was a let down,it had been left under the hot plate and was drying up, this was every day.I have had better grills on a cheap National coach tour. Given the low number of customers at the time and given the overall price i expected better.

Concept: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - Measuring Treatment Prevalence
Last Updated: 2011-08-11
This concept identifies data sources and diagnostic codes used to identify cases of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in research conducted by the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (MCHP). This information can be used to estimate the prevalence of treatment for ASD.
Definition of Autism Spectrum Disorder
ASD is a pervasive developmental disorder that typically affects a person's social interactions and ability to communicate, and may be evident by repetitive behaviours or a strong attachment to a routine. The severity ranges from mild to severe and it includes diagnoses of Autistic Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified, and Asperger's Disorder (
Autism Society Canada, 2005
Multiple data sources in the Manitoba Population Research Data Repository at MCHP can be used to identify cases of ASD and estimate the prevalence of its treatment. In
Brownell et al. (2008),
children with ASD were identified using diagnoses on hospital and physician records and information from education records on special school funding received for students with ASD. An individual was considered to have ASD if he/she had at least one of the following:
one or more hospitalizations with any one of the recorded ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes as 299.0, 299.1, 299.8, or 299.9, or any one of the recorded ICD-10-CA diagnostic codes as F84.0-F84.5, F84.8, or F84.9
one or more physician claims with the diagnosis code 299
- identified as "ASD" within the variable CATEORGYN of the Manitoba Education Special Needs data file. (Children with ASD were previously identified by the code "AUT" in this variable within the education data.)
The Manitoba Education Special Needs data also contains a variable, STATUSN, that identifies whether the funding is approved, denied, non-supportable or terminated, and works in conjunction with CATEGORYN . Only those with an "approved status" are included in the selection process.
Please see Autism Spectrum ICD Codes.pdf for a description of ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CA diagnoses codes used to identify ASD in the Child Health Atlas Update (2008).
In The Mental Health of Manitoba's Children deliverable by Chartier et al., (2016), they used the same definition as Brownell et al. (2008), except the hospital data only included ICD-10-CA codes because of the time period of the study.
When using multiple data sources, there is a risk that individuals may appear in more than one data set, and depending on the purpose of the study, methods must be used to ensure that these cases are only counted once.
- A child with ASD may not be included in these data sources if the child is undiagnosed (or untreated), diagnosed in a setting other than the hospital or by a physician, or not approved for educational funding (Brownell et al., 2008). Brownell et al. (2008) cautions that this definition should be "considered a measure of treatment prevalence" (p.217).

21. Blooming Bougainvillea
Created by Designer Madeline Stuart, the patio design is situated in the backyard of a Southern California house that belongs to architects John Byers and Wallace Neff. Aimed at creating a dream-like garden oasis feeling, the elements that provide the space with the correct touch are the antique accent lighting and abundant planting of bougainvillaea. The pergola itself provides the space with the perfect screen for filtering the sunlight.
22. Poolside Patio
Part of a historic Long Island farmhouse, the patio is situated beside the pool. Via the usage of salvaged corrugated-and-wired glass, the awning is created; while the custom outdoor furniture is covered with Perennials fabric cushions. The topiaries are boxwood, while the pool surround and patio are of Kota stone.
23. An Open and Wide Space
This particular design attempts to provide the outdoor area with a clubhouse vibe. With straw being used as the predominant material here, for the roof as well as the walls; the space is also provided with a bar, ample seating and mood lighting to amplify the overall ambience. The open concept permits the climate to add to the experience as well.
24. Bricks plus Stones
A quite simple design, this particular stone and/or brick patio can easily be adapted to a house’s backyard. A design by Landscape East & West, this patio features a multi-level design with areas separately allocated for eating as well as relaxing around the fire pit. This particular design gives a raw and unfinished natural look due to the stones used, giving a basic aesthetic.
25. Townhouse Contemporary Patio
A patio outside a West Village townhouse, the furniture is made out of teak, with cushions covered in a Perennials fabric. With the open space shielded by a boxwood hedge, the space is a great example that can showcase the creation of quality patios in urban multi-storey spaces.
Therefore, the possibilities of innovation and design when it comes to Patios are innumerable; with great scope to experiment and attempt newer styles. The template for such designs is variable, with parameters of consideration such as area, dimensions, climate, the direction of the site, and most importantly budgetary constraints. Patios do provide its user with a natural connection while being in the comfort of their own home and furniture of use. Thus, the potentialities of working on a great patio design are quite many, and the examples mentioned above; highlight that very fact, in the greatest way possible.

As a video game professional (yes, I work in the industry for a living) this week is a particularly exciting week: E3. The super-mega-ultra-everything conference where everyone who's anyone showcases their big upcoming projects.
Today's slate included console giants Microsoft and Sony, but the star was undoubtably software company Ubisoft, who debuted their latest installments of three of gaming's best franchises: Farcry 3, Ghost Recon: Future Soldiers, and this absolute gem--
Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
This trailer is gorgeous. This goes beyond a commercial or demo....this is a freakin' work of art. Everything is high-res and fluid, the models are smooth, the textures are blended, it has dynamic lighting that's dramatic without being harsh (major, major CPU strain when rendering). And more than that, it's beautifully edited, telling a story against a fantastic piece of music (Iron by Woodkid)
It might not seem like it right now, but this is a big, big deal. Video gaming has struggled to be recognized as an art form the way film and music are. It's work like this that catches people's attention and shows gaming can produce something equally amazing as anything you see on the screen or hear on the radio. 100 gold stars for Ubisoft.
FYI, Nintendo's conference is Tuesday at 10AM. You can watch live streams of it on IGN.com or Gamespot.com. The Big N has big plans this year, including a full lineup of software for the newly released 3DS, and the debut of their next gen console, which they've promised outpaces both the XBox360 and PS3 in sheer computing power.
EDIT: Da Big N has moved its conference to 11 AM today.

Wren is one of those bands. You kind of know what you're getting into, but they always manage to surprise you. It's the little things, that make this album interesting. Definitely requires multiple listen to fully digest this album, but the payoff is huge.
Favorite track: No Seance.

Post # 1
My husband and I are dining in more than ever. I have a good pot roast, a lasagna, a good turkey meatball soup, a good tukey meatloaf, a salmon dish and a few others i recycle often but i need to not only stretch out the meals more but offer a bit more variety. Please post your suggestions here. Thank you so mucho in advance.
Post # 3
What about some turkey burger? I use a Rachael Ray one that I really like.
Or a go to meal for me is Mac and cheese. I usually have the basics to make it on hand and I can whip it together quick.
And I use the crockpot. Frozen chicken breast and any type of sauce is my goto lazy meal.
Post # 4
Baked spaghetti is super easy. I cook the pasta according to the box, but drain it a couple minutes early. Then I mix it with a jar of sauce (use your favorite, or make your own. I confess to using a jar.) and a generous shake of grated parmesan. Put it in a baking dish, top it with mozzerella and bake it for 20 minutes covered, then uncovered for 10 to let the cheese brown a little. Done! Depending on how much you make, there are leftovers for at least 2-3 lunches. I also have a good Thai curry recipe, if you guys are into that kind of food.
Post # 5
not sure if you guys like this.. but we love switching things up and doing a breakfast dinner every once in a while. super easy and cheap!
Post # 6
I make a super simple stir-fry. I put coconut oil in first (you can use other oils) then add stir-fry meat, sliced green peppers, zuchinni, and onion. I add a garlic and herb seasoning and put over rice. It’s SO simple 🙂 Obvioulsy you can switch it up to your likings.
Post # 7
We make a taco/rice blend that is really good. I usually use ground pork for flavour, but when I am trying to be healthier I use ground turkey. It works with regular ground beef too! We always cook minute rice, so this is a really quick meal:
In one pan,cook onions and let simmer until soft, add garlic (if desired), add meat of choice and brown. Use taco packet and add to meat, follow packet directions (adding water), add any veggies you like- zucchini, peppers, corn, (i always add frozen broccoli), and let simmer. Start minute rice, add salsa to the meat mixture in the last minute or so and let it heat with the rest. Then we dish our stuff, add a dollop of sour cream and some grated cheese and voila!
Ground meat 1lb.
Chopped onions (as desired)
Chopped garlic (as desired)
Veggies: red peppers, carrots, zucchini, frozen corn, frozen broccoli etc.
Taco spice packet (I buy these in the taco aisle and they are $1 per packet, rather than buying the taco kits)
Post # 8
Oh, I just tried something new today and loved it. I am trying to avoid carbs in dinner and include more veggies and this meal does both with only 4-5 ingredients.
You will need:
Chicken breast (about a pound should be enough for 2 people)
broccoli (1 head)
1 red pepper
flavored chream cheese
I washed the chicken and put it in a glass pyrex with water, a bit of olive oil, ground pepper, sea salt, oregano, paprika and a bit of chili powder. Bake in the oven until cooked. While that cooks, wash and chop the broccoli and boil in a pot of water. chop up the pepper and mushrooms, set aside. Once the chicken is cooked, chop it up to about one inch strips (or whatever you want). Leave whatever water is in with the chicken as long as it is not too liquidy, mine had ab out a centimeter in the bottom of the pan because I let them sit awhile. Then add 2-3 table spoons of the cream cheese. I had a tomato ricotta flavor but could see this working well with southwest or vegetable as well. Add in the veggies and stir it all up. Pop it back in the oven and reduce the heat. Let it cook for about 15 minutes so everything melts toether. Serve the chicken mix with broccoli on the side. I think a brown rice would also work well with this. Delicious, filling and with minimal processed food (cream cheese).
Post # 9
Do you have a crock pot? Those are awesome bc you can buy a not so great cut of meat, but it will still turn out nice and tender 🙂
Fiance LOVES taco chili, which I make in the crock pot…plus it costs under $10 for everything, and usually lasts for lunch for a good three days afterwards!
Post # 10
Chicken Cacciatore. All you need is chicken thighs, chicken broth, a can of crushed tomatoes, pasta, red pepper, and onion.
I bought all of the ingredients at the store the other day and spent $9. And we get leftovers!
Post # 11
I have a delicious chicken recipe!
I prefer to use legs/thighs with it, but you can use breasts (more expensive though!)
In a bowl, mix a can of cranberries, a packet of onion soup mix, and about half a bottle of french salad dressing. Pour the mixture over the chicken and bake at about 350 for 45-60 minutes.
Eat & enjoy! I like it served with steamed rice & veggies.
Post # 12
Enchiladas are easy. I use ground beef and refried beans as the filling. You can use taco seasoning for the meet, then just need a can of beans, one or two for the sauce, some cheese and tortillas.
Another favorite cheap one is red beans with turkey kilbasa over rice. You saute one onion, about 2/3 hilshire farm turkey kielbasa, add two cans of kidney beans and 1 cup of chicken broth or beer (I use a combo) simmer for about 40 mins, serve with rice.
Pasta is always easy and cheap. I like doing rigatoni, cooking some sausage with tomato sauce, mix with pasta, put in baking dish, cover with mozz cheese and bake until melted.
Chicken on the bone – 2 bone in, chicken on chicken breasts. Salt and pepper skin, Cook skin down on a hot skillet until golden (around 5 mins maybe?) throw in a 450 degree oven for around 25-30 mins. I usually have it with rice pilaf and peas.
Lettuce wraps – check out the alton brown recipe here, I follow it to the t and it is delicious http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/ants-in-trees-recipe/index.html You may not have all of the ingredients sitting around so the inital outlay for the seasonings may be a little more, but if it sounds like something you would like you will get a lot of uses out of them.
I really like to eat… and cook 🙂
Post # 13
A liter meal, my friend just taught me is broccoli cream soup. Super super easy.
1 bag frozen broccoli
Here’s the super easy part: Cook frozen broccoli, dump 3/4 of the water from the pan. Add soup broth. Use a hand (stab) mixer (this is not like what you use for cake, it does what a food processor does, the English word escapes me) or food processor and blend the broccoli, add cream (can substitute milk for a more watery soup). cook all together for a couple of minutes, add in ground pepper and sea salt to taste. Eat.

@slicey19: I think you mean immersion blender.
Post # 15
1) Dip chicken breasts in a milk/beaten egg mixture and roll in Italian Breadcrums
2) Heat about 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet and brown chicken on both sides for 5 minutes
3) place skillet with chicken in it in the over at 350 for 25 minutes.
4) top with a little marinera and mozzerella cheese and bake for 5more minutes
I usually serve with pasta for hubs and green beans for me (less carbs)
SUPER easy! and not very expensive

Despite the fact that Iggy Azalea has made her fondness for Clueless known courtesy of her "Fancy" video and its homage to the '90s cult classic, Azalea isn't the pop star who's hoping to head to Broadway as Clueless: The Musical's first singing, time-stepping Cher Horowitz.
That would be Katy Perry. According to Amy Heckerling, Clueless' director, a musical adaptation of the movie is in the works, and Perry has let it slip that she'd love to try the role (and its fantastic wardrobe) on for size. "Katy Perry has expressed interest, and I love her to death,” Heckerling told Vulture. The book and the lyrics for Clueless are done, but the musical is still in the "really, really, early, early" stages, so who knows: Perry may prove to be too busy, and Azalea could catch Heckerling's eye after all. "Maybe Iggy wants to do it!"
She was certainly impressed with "Fancy" and its frame-by-frame commitment to Cher's world: “It looked like they had more money for the video than I had for the movie ... But I was extremely flattered and I thought she was amazing. And whoever did the costumes, I don’t know how they did that.”

Opportunities and Threats for London
Describe about the Impact of Olympic Games on tourism?
London knew that the upcoming Olympic Games are going to be a bonanza and hence, they want to be prepared for the best, which was yet to come. The events had plenty of things to offer to London and at the same time, there were few disadvantages as well. The Government officials of London tried their level best to overcome the barriers and threats.
Every country wants to attract more tourists so that they can generate more and more revenue from tourism. Olympic Games in London attracted more people to the country so that they can view the games that are being conducted. During this time period, the government of London witnessed various opportunities and threats. The government of London tried to identify these opportunities and threats so that the opportunities can be utilized for the betterment of the country and the threats can be avoided to the extent possible.
One of the most crucial things that were pointed out by the government of London was the lack of visit by the tourists before and after the event was conducted. Before the event, the city was completely under construction so that the city can look good during the event. After the event, people were concerned about the price as they very well know that the tourism prices in London have increased due to the event that took place in 2012. To overcome this barrier, the government started with campaigns like Visit London and Visit Britain so that the number of tourists can be increased (Wells 2012).
Before the event, it was seen that the London government had lost £141 million revenue and hence, the officials had to come up with some idea so that the displacement can be balanced at least to some extent. The Diamond Jubilee of the games and “limited edition” events attracted more tourists to the event. Both the events were planned by the government of London so that they can neutralize the negative impact that was created.
It was seen that the number of people who visited malls and theatres during this time period had reduced drastically. The government of London believed that after the Olympics game, the tourists will visit theatres and malls to keep themselves engaged but things didn’t happen that way. Most of the visitors decided to stay back at the Olympics ground rather than that of going somewhere to entertain themselves. In the future, the government of London wants all the sectors to work together in the limited edition event so that the impact on the loss can be reduced to a great extent (The Huffington Post 2013).
Apart from the threats, London received some benefits as well from the event. Few of the opportunities that helped London to increase the number of tourists are discussed below.
Journalists from different countries wanted to be a part of this event and hence, it was seen that 8700 journalists from 102 countries registered themselves with the London Media Centre so that they can cover the best possible image of the event. Apart from covering the event, they also covered the food, fashion, culture, design and much more details about London and hence, this excited other audience as well to visit London. The best possible image of London was created and this added to the tourism of the country, in the upcoming years. The city was expecting more tourists but they were confused if they will be able to accommodate all of them.
Challenges Faced by the London Government
To increase the number of tourists further, the officials in the city wanted to convert all the viewers as visitors. This plan was implemented immediately after the games so that people who were a part of Olympics can be motivated to visit London for tourism. The officials had set aside a budget for the post-games marketing and hence, this helped the government to attract more people.
Practical information to all the tourists helped the tourists to reach the place where they had to and this created a very much positive impact on the visitors. This was one of the most successful events and hence, attracting tourists after the event wasn’t a difficult task for the government. This also helped the city as the tourists were able to spend more money. If the tourists had to put in time in reaching a mall then they would have invested less time in shopping and hence, this also boosted the economy of the country (Visit Britain 2012).
There are various advantages of organizing an international event and hence, London had spent millions of pounds to make the event big. Few of the positive impact of Olympic Games on the tourism of London are discussed below.
The number of tourists in the country increased drastically as London used this as an opportunity to advertise the city. The media journalists covered more than the event and hence, the tourists got a glimpse of food, culture, fashion and design of the city. People from different corners of the world got to know about London and hence, they planned to rush to London after the event.
London made huge investment in the infrastructure so that the visitors can be impressed with the infrastructure of the nation. The road ways was improved further so that the visitors can reach the place properly.
Olympic Games gave employment opportunity to plenty of people in the country. More than 46,000 people were hired by the city so that the preparations can be well taken care of. The unemployment in the nation can be reduced to the large extent.
Lot of marketing was undertaken so that the Olympic Games can be publicized. This helped lot of people to be a part of the event. Apart from publicizing the event, London was also advertised and hence, potential tourists also developed interest about the location (Clack 2012).
London has gained lot of economic benefits from the event. Few of the economic benefits of the country are discussed below.
Great Britain lasted for 60 years and hence, the nation was suffering from economical losses but the complete scenario changed when the Olympics came into picture. The country estimated a GBP of 16.5 billion by the end of 2017. The country also got plenty of business contracts, additional sales and also a lot of foreign investment was attracted by the country.
London Olympics was a huge success and hence, the countries which will be hosting the event in the future will seek from the London Government so that the event in their country can also be successful. This will help London Government to make some more money. In the early 2012, it was seen that 1.2% of the unemployment rates in London had reduced and hence, the economy of the nation was improvised. The government of London had started with various training so that the skills of the unemployed and the semi-skilled employees can improve. This helped them to gain permanent employment even after the event (Olympic 2012).
Social impact of Olympic Games was positive on the country. Few of the social impact of Olympic Games on London are discussed below.
This helped the London Government to understand the culture of people in other countries so that they can reach out to the potential tourists in different countries. They were able to understand the customs of different cultures and this improved the friendship of UK with that of the other countries.
The self esteem of London has increased among the other countries because of the success of the event. Even in the near future, other countries will trust London for organizing the event. Plenty of people were a part of Olympic Games and hence, London was able to understand and respect different cultures. This helped London to improve their relationship with other countries.
Environmental impact of Olympic Games was in plenty and hence, this helped the nation to be better. Few of the notable environmental impact of the Olympic Games in London are discussed below.
All the local people in London were trained to be environmental friendly so that they can reduce the impact on the environment. As a part of the preparation for Olympic Games, all the local businesses were well taken care. If the Government of London felt that any business is affected due to the Olympic event then the owners of the business were included in the London Olympics preparation so that they can also make some profit.
The tour operators were given strict instructions to be environmental friendly. All the guests were accommodated in ecological hotels and hence, the hotels and restaurants were motivated to be environmentally friendly so that they can be a part of the event. This helped the ecology of the country to improve (Mirbabayev n.d.).
Olympic Games have contributed to the betterment of London. The Government officials of the nation were very clear that the whole world will be seeing Olympic Games and hence, they will be forming a perception of the country. All the activities associated with Olympic Games were well planned so that more and more people can be part of the show and at the same time, the officials also used this as an opportunity to increase the tourism in the nation.

Since quite long it has been going through my mind, how to cover two of the existing heavens in the world:
1) Leh Ladakh
2) Lahaul and Spiti
Many people consider Leh Ladakh as one of the most beautiful places in earth, but then a minor portion of the population who have been to Lahaul and Spiti also have the opinion that Spiti Valley is also equally comparable and beautiful. But just because Spiti Valley is very dangerous, not many tourists visit it as compared to Ladakh. Well, leaving apart comparison, finally getting an opportunity with a 1 week leave, I decided to first cover Lahaul and Spiti though and after covering the entire circuit of Himachal (which will be mainly my post here), It became eminent that heaven does actually exist in Earth. We just need to explore and find it. I actually could not believe anything more beautiful than this that can exist in earth.
Although I wanted to self drive, my friends who have been to Spiti valley before suggested me not to drive until I see the road conditions once. It’s really dangerous. But then being a driving maniac, I needed to drive at least some distance. So I decided I will drive till Shimla at least from Delhi, put my car somewhere in Shimla and then hire a tourist cab from there. And the plan was achieved with full enjoyment and ultimate adventure/visit and view of some of the most beautiful parts of our country.
My plan was to cover the entire Himachal Circuit. The himachal circuit mainly refers to a start from Shimla and end in Shimla via Kinnaur district (that mainly includes Sarahan, Sangla Valley, Kalpa, Chitkul, Nako village), Spiti valley, part of Lahaul valley including Kunzum Pass, Rohtang pass, Manali, kullu, mandi. A distance of around 1130 KM. And believe me: it is simply awesome, mind blowing and adventurous. A part of Lahaul valley (which includes Sarchu, Keylong and Baralacha la) and Chandratal lake was left which I wish to cover in my future trips to Ladakh.
In brief, this circuit is something where the most noticeable fact is a difference in the variation of beauty every moment the eyes are open. Such varied peaks of the Himalayas and such varied and beautiful spots in Himachal are quite unbelievable. And above all it’s a photographer’s paradise.
Continuing the introduction part, the beauty of viewing this circuit, is the continuity in travelling. When I say continuity, I mean non-stop driving throughout the day and staying in some of the most beautiful places/villages during the night and spending some beautiful evening in these places. So to really enjoy be prepared for a continuous restless travel. As a matter of fact when one sees the beauty of Spiti, he/she does not need rest. Nature itself provides rest.
I had planned for this trip almost for over 4 months through one of my friends who has been to the place two years back. He helped us to arrange a cab (Tavera) from Shimla. Because the planning was so methodical, there was no problem at all. All logistics was already in place, and we just had a nice 8 days of travel. I always knew getting to Shimla would be time consuming if we plan to go by Shatabdi till Kalka and then by toy train. Above that, I also had the desire of driving through mountains a bit. As a result, to save time and to drive, I decided to travel through to Shimla and reach as early as possible, for the first day just roam around the Mall road and then start for further travel the next day. I planned my itinerary like this:
Day 1: Drive to Shimla from Delhi. Check in to a hotel and make arrangements to keep the car somewhere for 6 days (my father helped me with that through some of his office connections). Visit Mall road and local markets in Shimla.
Day 2: Start for Narkanda and stay in Sarahan (Kinnaur District)
Day 3: Visit Chitkul, come back and move on to Kalpa and stay there (Kinnaur District)
Day 4: Move from Kinnaur to Spiti via khab, nako and stay in Tabo (Spiti District)
Day 5: From Tabo to Dhankar Monastery, Kaza. From Kaza to Kibber, Key monastery back and stay in Kaza.
Day 6: From Kaza to Manali via losar, batal, kunzum pass, chatru, gramphu, Rohtang Pass
Day 7: From Manali to Shimla via kullu, mandi, sundernagar
Day 8: Shimla to Kalka and back to Delhi
Day 1: Drive down to Shimla and quick local view of the beautiful capital
Shimla the capital of Himachal is one of the best hill stations of India. Well connected to the national capital by National Highway 1 till Chandigarh and then on NH22, it is one of the hill stations, to where throughout the plain the hills the road is simply awesome.
Shimla is around 396 KM from Delhi and around 130 KM from Chandigarh. We always knew Chandigarh is around 4-5 hours of drive and then another 3 hours and one reaches Shimla. It was almost exactly like that.
As always, I decided to start early with my parents and we started from our home in Indirapuram (Ghaziabad) around 5 AM on 11th of August 2012. It almost takes an hour to cross the capital via Azadpur bypass and then finally catching the NH1. By 6 AM we were almost there in the highway. And then starts the National Highway 1. NH1/NH1D are often considered as one of the best highways in the country, more specifically because it stretches till Ladakh via Srinagar and finally meets the Manali Leh Highway at Leh. However more recently because of constructions going on in places near Panipat and Karnal, maintaining a consistent speed in the highway is a difficulty. Almost every few KMs, there is a flyover under construction. Having said that, it’s an absolute pleasure driving through this highway. The 6 lane highway, one often finds almost no difficulty to drive at an average speed of 100 KMPH.
A very important thing about the highway is the limited number of toll gates (around 4) throughout to Chandigarh and then off course there are none.
1) Panipat (90KM from Delhi): Rs 25
2) Karnal (140 KM from Delhi): Rs 90
3) Ambala Chandigarh Highway (210 KM from Delhi): Rs 29
4) Himalayan Expressway, Shimla Chandigarh (248 KM from Delhi): Rs 23
5) HP Toll Tax (273KM from Delhi): Rs 30
Once we cross Chandigarh bypass and reach Pinjore Garden., then on starts the awesome hilly roads that leads to Shimla. This is one of the beautiful drives and one just enjoys moving ahead in the Himalayan expressway towards Shimla.
The hilly road for a drive to Shimla is a beautifully maintained 2-lane road for a hill station in India. Absolutely safe and ideal for driving, one should experience this drive personally. We reached Shimla as per plan at around 1 PM and directly headed towards the hotel my father got booked. The hotel was also nicely situated and very near to the Mall. Because of off-season, we got hotels quite cheap and descent. We settled down in the hotel, parked the car in a pre-decided location and took rest for couple of hours. The car stood in the parking for the rest of the week, before we got back to Shimla.
In the evening, we started for a small walk up towards the Mall. On the way, The Grand hotel and the Kali Bari are located. So visited all and then finally reached the Mall. We spent around 3 hours in the Mall and Lakkar Bazaar right below the Mall. Took beautiful photographs and had our dinner in a cool restaurant. The Shimla Mall road is a real beauty in the evening, there is no doubt in it.
We got back to our hotel in the same route walking around 9 in the evening. Quickly I called up the cab we booked for the rest of the tour and everything was as per plan. The cab driver was on target for the next day and informed us about the time he would be in.
After this went in for a nice sleep. We had to cover a long and adventurous journey ahead.
awesome start. hooked to this series.
Good description and photos. Route look so good and well planned. In summer it should be best journey in India.
Great travel story. I never knew that the road to Shimla is now a super class highway like.
As you enter Shimla, it becomes two lane, but till then, its 4 lane only. From Delhi to Chandigarh its 3-lane under construction.
???? ?? ?????? ????? ?? ?????, ???????….??????????….
Nice Post & Pictures too…
Great start Anupam. Glad to see you back after a short hiatus.
I have the exact same desire of covering both stretches (Piti and Leh) in one single trip and just like you I did Spiti. When I do Leh, I am planning to take this route only. The drive from Kaza to Grapmpho is one of the toughest stretches and carry a lot of respect amongst driving/riding enthusiasts like you and me.
Starting at 0600 hrs from Indirapuram and reaching Shimla at 1300 hrs is pretty quick. I have heard that with all the constructions, it is not pretty slow overall. Shimla, though now heavily concret-ized and touristy, still has that old world charm. Your brilliant pictures is doing complete justice to the place.
Ready for the drive to Spiti.
Thanks Nandan, and thanks for complementing the pics. As a matter of fact, i have recently more into photography too and these pics are taken using my new SLR.
Although around 6 months since the trip, trying to improve upon my photography too :-)
A very nice travelogue to some one the beautiful places (if not the best) has just begun.
Really a great start and some of the shots are excellent, particularly Mall Road in the night and Simla Expressway…so, you are enjoying your SLR.
“Nature itself provides rest” – very well said…
Truely said Amitava, you do not need a very good camera for places like Himachal and Jammu :-). But yes enjoying my SLR
