[i]sajith posting in [i]world_tourist: Zanskar, India

(First post here. Hello!)

Zanskar, part of Kargil district in the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, is a continuation and preserve of the ancient Tibetan Buddhism. Some of us were trekking there in August 2006. I have a long-winding series of pseudo travelogue tagged zanskar in my journal in case you want to take a look.

[i]pandoralsu posting in [i]austincommunity: sterling silver charm bracelet

In two weeks it's goodbye Austin, and I have just found my sterling silver charm bracelet that I've had it since I graduated from high school. I not purchased any charms for it in a long time. Is there a shop in town I could buy Austin charms themed and other cute charms to take with me?

[i]moonwick: Why no outrage?

From The WSJ: Why No Outrage?

Through history, outrageous financial behavior has been met with outrage. But today Wall Street's damaging recklessness has been met with near-silence, from a too-tolerant populace, argues James Grant

Amen.

[i]dearbrains posting in [i]austincommunity: large dog meet-ups

i just moved here with my golden retriever/great pyranese mix and have been looking to get her some dog friends. most of the dogs in our neighborhood are small or older, and even though she is very sweet and loves playing with them, she is just a touch too large(i.e. 30lbs and growing)or rambunctious(her 7 month old energy level is taxing to many dogs.) So does anyone know of any medium to large dog meet up groups? or do you have a large dog that would like a new friend? gemma really doesn't care as long as the dog is friendly and will play with her. please let me know if you have any knowledge about this sort of thing or might be interested in a park meet up.

ps. i have looked into doggie daycare, but at the moment don't have the money for her bordatella vaccination. she is up to date on all other vaccinations, but that one is required for daycare.

Has anyone ever rented those steam cleaners from HEB? I need to clean my carpet, couch, and truck interior.
Do they work well or are they a hassle? Can anyone recommend a good service?
Thanks so much!

[i]crzymoo2 posting in [i]austincommunity: Fried Ice Cream!!

I haven't seen anyone with fried ice cream in about 15 years and that was in dallas.
I don't know if I think it's so awesome because of nostalgia or if it's really delicious hehe, but I would love to find some. I've been craving it since a conversation with a coworker brought it up.
Does anyone know of a place that has it here?

Apparently the owner is facing complete closure.  There's a city task force meeting this Monday, July 21st.  The address is 3708 Woodbury Drive.  I believe that's Turntable Records if I'm not mistaken?  There's more info from his website.  I apologize for posting
a myspace link here, but it's all I could find.  And sorry, if this was posted before.

[i]taffer posting in [i]macosx: Latest iTunes = slow USB

The latest iTunes update (7.7) seems to have affected either my iPod (a Nano fattty, 1.1.2 firmware) or OS X (10.5.4) on my iBook G4. Plugging it into either of my iBook's USB ports results in a USB 1.1 connection.

Has anyone else had this problem after updating? Any suggestions for getting back to USB 2 speeds?

Thanks!

[i]possumcowboy: This here, is an awesome photo. It was almost even awesomer.

Last night, I attended the Bloomington High School North/Bloomington High School South class of 1988 mixer at the famous Nick's English Hut in Bloomington, Indiana. Right now, astute persons are having an internal dialogue that goes something along the lines of, "But, Lou, you didn't attend either of those high schools." And you're right. I did, however, attend Thomas L. Brown Elementary School and Unionville Middle School, and knew a surprising amount of people from there, as well as Challenger's Day Camp (which I attended every summer for at least twelve years).

This picture is of Me, David Ames, and Matt Stonecipher. Marco Deckard was also in the room but managed to be god-knows-where when we were actually ready to take the photograph. We three (four) are classmates from Mrs. Worland's 1975-'76 kindergarten class. Myself, you already know. David, as you can see, has matured into a quite handsome gentleman. Matt still has the glint of maniacal genius which has been the inspiration of many peers and the terror of many teachers. I'm so glad I went!

[i]reijigin posting in [i]austincommunity: Dental clinics

My guy has a big, black hole in the top of one tooth. It looks like a crater and it's covering almost a quarter of the top part of the tooth. I didn't see it until just a few minutes ago... He's recently started to feel a little ill, and I'm really scared that he needs to get this looked at NOW. He only just found out he had dental insurance yesterday so he doesn't have a dentist.

I think he needs to try and get it looked at tomorrow if at all possible. I've been trying to find a dental clinic somewhere in Austin but my Google skills are failing me. Does anyone know of a clinic in a hospital (or a dentist with emergency Saturday hours) where he can get it looked at this weekend? I'm very worried that it will get infected but I don't know if it's really an emergency yet.

Thanks a lot.


+Edit
Okay I spazzed when I saw the tooth, I'm all better now e_e;

Anyway, I forgot to ask if anyone knows of a dentist with Saturday hours (haha, yeah right) or better yet one that can get him set up as a patient and into the office very quickly. I know some dentists (including mine) are always booked up so it takes a long time to get an appointment. We're hoping to get him in within a week. I'd like to get it looked at tomorrow but realistically waiting until Monday and getting a dentist appointment is probably fine.
