Difference between revisions of "Ha Tien"
Revision as of 13:34, 11 December 2012
Ha Tien is a seaside town in Kien Giang Province in Southern Vietnam. It is at the western end of the Mekong Delta close to the Cambodian border. Although a tourist spot, it doesn't see many western visitors due to its remoteness.
Get in
The bus terminal is west of the city center (it was moved there from To Chau on the other side of the bay around January 2008). There are buses from Ho Chi Minh City's Mien Tay terminal (about 8h) as well as from Can Tho and Chau Doc. The connection from Can Tho often requires a change in Rach Soi or Rach Gia from where it is about 1h.
The border near Ha Tien (7km to the north) was opened for tourists in 2007. As of late 2010, it is possible for tourists of most nationalities to enter Vietnam via this border crossing without the need for a visa. However it applies only for stays of up to 15 days, and you can only visit the so called "Special Economic Zone", which is essentially the town of Ha Tien, and the area between the town and the border, including Mui Nai beach. You must not travel further into Vietnam. (The officials at the border will tell you that you cannot go to Phu Quoc island with the visa and may not issue you a visa at all without a small bribe.) For ventures further into Vietnam, a visa is needed prior to arrival at the border.
To get to the border from Cambodia you can hire a motobike taxi from Kampot ($10), Kep ($7), or Kampong Trach ($5). The road can vary in condition from paved and bumpy to packed dirt and bumpy, be prepared for a slightly white knuckled ride depending on the daring nature of your driver and the road can also be very dusty in the dry season. Also, be aware that there seem to be Vietnamese drivers now waiting well inside the Cambodian side waiting to pickup (poach) prospective travelers to take them across the border into town. Your driver may stop here to talk with them and seem to suggest you go with them. A ride to town should be $3-4 or less (it is only 7 km and the road is well paved on the Vietnamese side.) If you can't agree on a price there you can simply have your Cambodian driver take you to the border where you can cross over and have the drivers on the other side fight over you.
Get around
The centre of town is easily walkable with Tran Hau the main commercial street running along the seaside between the big bridge for road traffic (Cau To Chau) and the former pontoon bridge for pedestrians (Cau Phao, removed in early 2007). Many moto drivers situated at various strategic points all over town. Any journey in town, no more than 20,000 dong, e.g.to the ferry port, or bus station. To the border 40-50,000 dong. There are also two main metered taxi companies, the omnipresent Mai Linh, and Ha Tien Development Corp. It is possible to rent motorbikes by the day (approx 6USD) or pedal cycles (approx 2USD) in several locations in the town.
Try to get one of the tourist maps where the locations of the cave temples are indicated.
Plenty of small hidden Chinese temples, scattered all over town, often down small back streets. The Mac Cuu Family tombs, set on a sprawling hillside at the end of Mac Cuu street. At the border with Cambodia (actually in Cambodia) are 6 casinos - only one sizeable one, the others smaller gambling dens featuring mainly Chinese games.
There are several large markets in Ha Tien, on the riverfront near to the road bridge over the Dong Ho inlet is the fish, meat and fruit market and also a large new covered market for clothes and household goods. In the evening there is a large night market, which springs up around the old market hall. This is situated in Tuan Phu Dat, which is right opposite the Ha Tien floating restaurant on the Dong Ho inlet. Very cheap good quality clothing, also souvenirs and costume jewellery. Some food stalls in the old market hall also.
There is no shortage of options for accommodation in this town. It seems that every other building is either a Khach San (hotel) or a Phong Tro (a place that has rooms to rent). The epicentre of sleeping options can be considered the area delimited by Tran Hau, Mach Thien Tich and Chi Lang streets.
Bao Tam near to the central market has ac/hot water rooms/tv for 170,000 Dong. Very clean
Get out
Buses to Phnom Penh require one change of vehicle in Cambodia.
Ha Tien is one of the two ports that serve Phu Quoc Island. There are currently(Jan 2011) two boats daily leaving Ha Tien at 08.00 (cost 230,000 dong) and 13.30 (cost 190,000 dong) Boats take about 2 hours to make the crossing,and arrive at the eastern side of the island. Two boats daily from Phu Quoc to Ha Tien, leave at 08.00 and 14.00. In Feb 2011 these two ferries were joined by a large car ferry. This takes slightly longer than the small fast ferries, and berths in Phu Quoc in the N/E corner. Costs 165,000 dong and 100,000 dong for a motorcycle. Stories on the web about these boats being un-seaworthy are outdated,the boats are now reasonably modern purpose built fast ferries.
Be aware of a bus company called [email protected] The fare to Can Tho is 180,000 dong/US$9, distance 210 km. Bus was in very bad condition, reckless driver who honked the entire time on board, very rude ticket seller who threw tourists off the bus in the middle of nowhere and made them pay and take another bus in even worse condition to the destination. Apparently some individuals do this in Vietnam for their dislike of tourists. Avoid this at all cost and try to travel with a trust-worthing bus company.

If you were asked to describe culture, what would come to mind? —The magnificent Roman Catholic Church of Sagrada Família, the must-reads by Charles Dickens, or perhaps your grandma's savory borsht? Well, these are all good thoughts. But think harder. At a societal level, culture is indeed reflected through art, literature, religion, and what's on your dinner table. But at an individual level, it boils down to how we think—how individuals process information and form perceptions.
Whether or not you believe it, those tiny machines in our mind might operate differently in different cultures (e.g. read this New York Times story). Understanding these differences is valuable to campaigners, opinion researchers, and almost everyone who cares about engaging the public in the field of international development.
Over the past decades researchers found several differences in the way Westerners and East Asians process information and form views. Some of the differences might possibly influence public opinion. These differences include what I call in plain language "adopting a side or seeking a middle path," "blaming me or blaming the situation," and "logic versus experience."
Adopt a side vs. seek a middle path
East Asians and Westerners were found to differ profoundly in their approaches to dealing with conflicts/contradictions: One tends to take a side, while the other prefers to be in the middle (read more). When facing conflicting information, Westerners are more likely to feel a substantial need to resolve the conflict by choosing a side. Easterners, on the other hand, tend to feel almost obligated to find merit in both sides and attempted to reconcile the conflicting opinions in search of a "middle path."
For instance, psychologists found that after reading opposing statements about an issue, Westerners polarized their views. Easterners, however, started to moderately accept both propositions.
Imagine discussing the merits and perils of government electronic surveillance for national security with groups of Asians and Europeans. You would probably encounter many more Europeans than Asians who either strongly support or oppose the issue.
Given these tendencies, it seems that Asians are more receptive to opposing voices, whereas Westerners are comparatively more likely to hold on to their views. Both sides, however, face their own strengths and challenges. For example, mobilizing the public in the West might involve more work in "loosening up" people's minds. In Asia, on the other hand, more efforts are probably needed to make the public committed to a particular cause.
Blame me vs. blame the situation
Another interesting but under-reported difference in opinion forming between the East and the West lies in attributions of responsibility: "blame me versus blame the situation." For instance, when a social or political event takes place, Westerners are more often found to attribute the outcome of the event to individuals' competencies and personalities. A quick example would be blaming an individual or a political party for the government shutdown. In contrast to Westerners, Eastern Asians tend to perceive more environmental influence on the event. Morris and Peng pointed out that when reporting a murder case, Asian reporters more often mention the social context in which the incident happened. Western journalists, on the other hand, tend to report more on the murderer's personality and mental health.
In Richard Nisbett's popular book The Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners Think Differently...and Why. He comments on the Chinese way of making sense of events as follows:
Events do not occur in isolation from other events, but are always embedded in a meaningful whole in which the elements are constantly changing and rearranging themselves. [In the Chinese approach to reasoning,] to think about an object or event in isolation and apply abstract rules to it is to invite extreme and mistaken conclusions. It is the Middle Way that is the goal of reasoning.
Almost all public opinions stem from attributions of responsibility—who gets the blame or credit. This simple question could affect people's preferences for judgments and future actions—such as whether to vote, whom to vote for, whether to donate, and to whom to donate.
Logic vs. experience
The last point on culture's possible effect on public opinion "Logic versus experience" deals with the way in which East Asians and Westerners reason. East Asians are found to rely more on experiences. Westerners are found to be comparatively more capable of setting aside experience in favor of logical rules (read more).
If this difference holds true, it might have meaningful implications for how campaigners inform the public. While data, fact sheets, and logical reasoning might suffice to influence the public in both the East and the West, anecdotes are perhaps more crucial in convincing the Easterners.
Some more thoughts
These three differences suggest a fresh angle to understand culture and public opinion. As research indicates, culture could shape the way individuals perceive, interpret, and reason.
There is enormous value in understanding these differences. Yet, I would also warn against hasty generalizations. Countless factors can come into play when you and I form opinions. For example, people across cultures might share the tendency to only hear what they want to hear, as illustrated by the so-called "hostile media effect" and "confirmation bias." Looking at the role of culture all by itself in a simplistic manner is similar to investigating gender inequality in a vacuum without considering race or class.
Some might also argue that the distinction between the East and the West is, to a large extent, arbitrary. The dividing line has become increasingly blurry. How different are we really from each other?
Some cultural differences do tell us apart. Yet, numerous other layers of culture also unify us. For the world to work together to resolve common problems, it is important to respect differences and also recognize similarities shared by almost all of us across cultures.

Minneapolis 2012by Ross Dillard '07 • September 17, 2012 Share:
On a beautiful 84 degree day in Minneapolis, the men of Wabash performed their day of service at the Metro Work Center (MWC). The MWC is a day training and habilitation center for adults with various developmental and traumatic brain injury disabilities. The Center provides adults, from late teens to an individual in their 80s, opportunities to practice skills, take field trips and earn a wage at work projects such as clean-up, set up of dining rooms, and processing mailings. These consumers of the MWC programs are partial to bright colors and there is where the men of Wabash came in on the morning of September 15, 2012.
Six Wabash alumni, plus a guest, gathered at the Center, housed in the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in South Minneapolis, becoming a painting crew to freshen up the walls of the Work Room. Using the theme that 'bright is better', the Work Room walls took on a coat of Tapestry Teal. Unfortunately, the storage rooms were locked, so with one ladder and several tables to stand on, the men were able to reach up to the top of the walls to complete the job.
Charlie Crowley commented that the staff will certainly appreciate the new atmosphere of the room and that the consumers will enjoy the color while they are performing their in-house work projects. Quite a successful day.
Willing Wabash Workers included: Charlie Crowley '70, Ross Dillard '07, Kyle Falconberry '96, Justin Killian '03, Richard Most '86, Ryan Pritchard '07, and guest Chelsea.
At right is Ryan sharing his Wabash construction helmet with one of the boys as part of his recruiting efforts. Chip Timmons told us it's never too early to make a first contact.

No matter what kind of club you're running or how many members you have, it's always a good idea to consider implementing a club management system. Small, big, public and private associations all share the same two goals: providing a great member experience and operating as efficiently as possible. Software can help you achieve those goals.
Club management solutions for membership-based organizations automate marketing campaigns, take care of class scheduling and coordinate events while also handling customer data and payment processing. These systems are popular with health and fitness clubs, campus recreation centers, sports clubs, private education centers and parks.
This guide has been created to help users find the best solution for their business needs. Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Club Management Software?
Common Functionality of Club Management Software
Benefits of Club Management Software
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Pricing: Cloud-Based vs. On-Premise
Club management software, also known as "membership software" or "association management software," offers tools that help clubs and associations promote themselves and provide better services to their members.
Common capabilities of this software include:
Some organizations use manual methods or basic software programs, such as Google Drive or Microsoft Excel, to perform these functions. If that sounds like your club, you may be wondering if it's worth it to buy dedicated software instead. The answer is almost always yes. There are many solutions in the market that are specifically designed to meet your unique needs. Clubs that are scaling at a rapid pace or expanding their service offerings can especially benefit from club management systems thanks to the functionalities we've described in the next section of this article.
The following capabilities are common to most club management systems:
|Membership management
|Allows users to store and edit member records, search member databases and upgrade or downgrade memberships.
|Lets members and staff search, book and reschedule classes and appointments. Some systems allow members to share schedules on social media.
|Marketing and promotions
|Allows users to award points and credits through loyalty programs, offer gift cards and discounts and send automated emails, text messages and social media notifications to current and prospective members.
|Payment processing
|Lets users accept payments for memberships and fees via cash, credit card, online form, direct debit or wire transfer.
|Member forums
|Offers online communities where members can have discussions, share files and network with each other.
|Member access
|Facilitates member check-ins and check-outs using biometric or barcode scanning.
|Allows users to run reports on business trends, monthly sales, inventory and member retention and attendance.
|Reservations management
|Enables employees to make member reservations (e.g., for country club restaurants or health club spas). Some systems also allow you to create a waiting list in case there are any cancelled appointments.
|Staff timekeeping
|Organizes employees' timesheets and work schedules.
Administrators can realize a great deal of benefits after adopting club management software, including:
More opportunities to grow revenue. Thanks to the marketing and promotions features we described above, your club is in a better position to attract more members and incentivize existing members to use your services, classes or facilities.
Less time spent on administrative tasks. Software reduces the amount of time employees spend on repetitive and mundane tasks, such as manually entering data. This makes them free to focus on more productive and important initiatives.
Improved data security. Associations typically store a great deal of member information, including their address, credit card account data and phone number. Storing this sensitive information in paper records makes it vulnerable to theft or loss. Many club management systems offer encryption and other security features to ensure your data is safe yet accessible.
Greater integration among applications. Some organizations are already using software, but the problem is they're using too many separate systems that don't integrate with one another. Dedicated software lets you streamline all the applications you need into one single system. This eliminates the need for duplicate data entry and makes it easier to generate comprehensive reports on your club's key performance indicators.
Better member experiences. Online portals and forums allow members to engage with peers at any time of day. These expanded opportunities to make connections enrich their experience with your club, increasing their satisfaction and making them more likely to keep their membership year after year.
This market offers solutions for niche business segments. Consider one of these products if your club or membership is among the following:
Gyms and health clubs. A number of solutions cater specifically to the gym and health club segment, from fitness clubs to martial arts studios. In addition to the capabilities listed above, these typically offer functionality for online training lessons, workout plan creation and managing health (e.g., body mass index and diet charts).
Sports clubs. These systems have functionality geared toward coaches, players and games. Key tools include roster creation, online player registration, player scheduling and availability, game scheduling and equipment payment tracking. Some vendors even go a step further and offer solutions designed for a particular sport.
Educational institution clubs. Managing university alumni or booster clubs (e.g., for school sports teams) can be easier with tools that streamline member communications, such as online forums and mass emailing capabilities.
Country clubs. Country clubs often have many services and facilities that need to be managed, including restaurants, golf courses and restaurants. The right system can streamline operations for every part of a private club to make sure everything's running smoothly.
There are two popular pricing models in the market. Select the one that gives you the best return on your investment.
Cloud-based software. As in other software markets, cloud-based club management solutions are gaining popularity among users. These solutions come with a low upfront investment and are typically priced on a monthly or annual subscription basis. Maintenance and updates are handled by the vendor.
On-premise software. The software is housed on the buyer's own servers. It is typically priced under a perpetual license, which requires paying a substantial upfront fee, but comes with no recurring license costs. However, users may have to pay additional fees for upgrades, customizations, support and maintenance.
Notably, costs for both types of software tend to converge over time.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Why Should Webcasters Pay 25% Of Revenue To Promote Musicians?
from the how-is-this-possibly-good? dept
Since then, there has been a wide variety of back and forth details until the official agreement was put in place today... and even though many of the news stories present this as SoundExchange somehow backing down and "Pandora" winning, the details, frankly, seem so out of touch with reality it's difficult to see how it makes any sense at all. The main issue is performance rights, which radio stations already don't have to pay because radio is helping to promote artists. The idea that webcasters/broadcasters should need to pay artists for the right to promote them to fans just seems bizarre and borderline incomprehensible in the first place.
Also worth noting is that the royalty rates that traditional broadcasters do pay (to composers/songwriters/publishers) averages out between 3 and 4% of revenue. So, if you really had to come up with a reasonable rate to pay performers as well, you might think that it would start around that same 3 or 4%. Even that would be a pure bonus for performers who are used to getting nothing as a royalty (tax) from radio. But... no. The agreement is an astounding 25% of revenue as a bare minimum, with a requirement to kick-in $25,000 just to be a webcaster at all.
Pandora claims they're happy about this because it keeps Pandora in business (and settles a big legal dispute, which hopefully allows them to go raise some money to stay in business). But it's a stunningly large percentage of revenue that will make things prohibitively expensive for most webcasters to really stay in business. You now have to have huge margins to get anywhere in a notoriously competitive business.
Who loses? Well, just about everyone outside of SoundExchange/RIAA. Already, despite being happy about this deal, Pandora has announced that it's sharply curtailing its free service, and if you listen to more than 40 hours per month, you'll need to start paying. Most webcasters now have a huge expense that will make it difficult for many of them to remain in business at all. Musicians are severely harmed as well. While a few top musicians might get a new royalty check from SoundExchange (when and if it gets around to "finding" those artists), most musicians will now get less exposure, making it that much more difficult for them to put in place the successful modern business models needed to succeed today. This basically just rewards the RIAA/SoundExchange and a few large artists who will get an extra royalty check. Everyone else is worse off.
Some might say the NAB and traditional radio stations also make out nicely, in that since these rates may harm webcasters, it takes away some competition, but even if the radio stations are happy in the short-run, it's a bad deal. These rates, certainly, will likely influence any eventual "performance right" that's added to terrestrial radio, and could significantly jack up the cost of running a regular radio station as well.
We're living in an era of amazing technological progress, where it's easy for anyone to go out and promote musicians to others and help get those musicians and a larger audience, and all the RIAA has done, time and time again, is work as diligently as possible to prevent anyone but itself from promoting artists. What a shame. This "deal" does nothing to help up-and-coming artists and will significantly limit their ability to get their music noticed.

Boy, Not Making Bombs, Arrested for Having Things Cops Think Could Blow Up (And For Drawings That Spooked a Teacher)
" The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is publicizing an interesting little story out of Galloway Township in New Jersey:
When a 16-year-old New Jersey boy doodled in his notebook on Tuesday, December 18, he probably didn't expect to be arrested by the end of the day. However, when school officials saw the sketches, which they state appeared to be of weapons, and the boy "demonstrated behavior that caused them to be concerned," the police were called.
At no point in time did the boy threaten the school, school officials, or his classmates. He cooperated fully with authorities, and a search of the school itself found nothing dangerous…. "
Nothing dangerous was found , he cooperated and made no threats , yet …
" A subsequent search of the boy's home led to his arrest because they found several electronic parts and chemicals. He was charged with the possession of an explosive device and put in juvenile detention. "
The boy attends a school that is known for it's ;
"engineering and environmental sciences and specializing in hands-on learning"
Sayeth the Police Chief :
"There was no indication he was making a bomb, or using a bomb or detonating a bomb,"
Sayeth the Principal :
"thankful that we had a staff member that (saw something that) caused her some concern, and that she had the sense to report it to school officials. These are things that teachers receive training on all the time."
Good Lord what lessons are we teaching our children ? Government mandated stupidity and group think . God help us .

Lime Tree
The benefits of lime
Lime is an ornamental tree that can grow to a height of 30 to 40 metres. Its highly fragrant flowers are known for their soothing benefits when taken in an infusion. Lime is known to help encourage better sleep, to reduce tension and irritability (in a dose of 1.8 to 2 g/day as an infusion), to maintain relaxation and sound sleep (10 g/day of blossom) and to promote sleep (4 g/day as an infusion).
Lime sapwood, the tender part of the trunk located just under the bark, is known to regulate glucose and cholesterol metabolism (in a dose of 1 tsp of macerated plant), to facilitate the body's elimination functions (315 mg per day), to facilitate digestion (5 to 10 g/day of lime sapwood) and to contribute to digestive well-being (wood).

You may have heard of Mocavo, the great search engine for genealogists. Why is it so special? you ask. I'll tell you. Ever searched for a surname and come up with some *really* unwanted results? For instance, for this month's letter 'J' I wanted to talk about the occupation of Jagger. So I searched for Jagger. Oh dear. Mick came up, and Bianca, and Jade - but also the song by Maroon 5, an article about the Rolling Stones' latest tour, Mick's style of parenting...and on it went.
Mocavo is different. It searches ONLY genealogy sites. It is especially good for North American genealogy sites - but I have noticed Australian sites, and even GenWestUK is in there! so its horizons are broadening. Cliff Shaw, the creator of Mocavo, says:
"Mocavo.com has the capacity to index every single piece of free genealogy content found anywhere on the web, and will be growing by leaps and bounds in the coming months. We expect Mocavo.com to shortly offer all of the web's free genealogy information, searchable and accessible to all – something that has never been done before. It's set to become the go-to search engine for every family history enthusiast."
There is a paid version (isn't there always?) which offers lots of tools as well as a basic genealogy search engine, and there is the capability to upload GEDCOMs and have it suggest ancestors to you, which makes it sound much more like a site. But I haven't used these, so I cannot comment. What I would suggest is that you head on over and take a look to see if you like it.

Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier announced Monday that defenseman Adam Pardy has been recalled from the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League.
Pardy (28 years old, 6'4", 226 lbs) will join the Sabres for the first time this season after recording three points (one goal, two assists) and a plus-3 rating in five AHL games with the Americans. The Bonavista, Newfoundland, native was acquired from the Dallas Stars with forward Steve Ott on July 2. In four NHL seasons, Pardy has recorded 29 points (4 goals, 25 assists) and 157 penalty minutes in 183 games with the Calgary Flames and Dallas Stars.

Eat Local's Greg Conner (Image: CHS)
CHS has learned of two more pieces set to fill in the puzzle that is the Joule building's remaining 13,000 square feet of Broadway retail space. According to people involved with the ventures and city records, Capitol Hill will soon have a new outlet for a major vitamin and wellness chain on north Broadway. But the more interesting addition is a market concept featuring locally-sourced, sustainability-minded prepared meals and foods that has become so popular on Queen Anne that many customers were making the trek from Capitol Hill to shop there.
"It made sense," Eat Local's owner Greg Conner tells CHS. "We have a lot of customers up there. Our customers asked us to come to the Hill."
For Conner, his Capitol Hill store's planned summer opening will mark the third location of a slow expansion of a business that began in 2007 but has roots going back to his family's decades of farming in the region. The Eat Local concept is based in a mix of convenience plus consciousness — and ongoing refinement. "Everything is from the most local sources we can find," Conner said. "We get closer and closer. We didn't start with handmade pasta but now it's a part of what we do."
What Eat Local does in its Queen Anne store located in part of an old neighborhood dry cleaning business is provide a series of freezer cases filled with prepared entrees and shelves with Washington wines and beers as well as some hand-crafted surprises like (delicious) spelt graham crackers. The cases are arranged by serving size from the single serving section (should be a good place to meet people) to the four or five serving family (and friends) section. Containers are color coded to indicate preference types such as vegetarian or chicken or beef. Most of the meals are also available in reusable glass containers that can be returned to the store like milk bottles.
The marketing pitch will make you feel better about yourself just by reading it:
Eat Local prepared meals are hand-made in our kitchen, from scratch, using traditional cooking methods and house-made stocks. We cook with Northwest grass fed & finished meats, free range chicken and organic or sustainably grown produce.
Our meals are frozen immediately after cooking to maintain flavor, nutrients and quality without the use of added chemicals, preservatives or fillers.
And, as you can imagine, the prices match the inflated sense of purpose in every meal. Single serving entrees clock in around $10 and up. A family serving of beef stroganoff will set you back $43. And, yes, that pack of graham crackers is $5.98. You can check out the offerings, scoff at the prices — and plan your meals for when you decide it's not healthy to live on Top Ramen — on Eat Local's online ordering site.
While many choose to have their meals delivered, Conner said supporting a brick and mortar retails space is important to Eat Local. "For us, it's all about the stores — for our farmers and our customers. We provide things like CSA drop sites and it builds a sense of community."
That sense of community won't come cheaply on the Hill. The records for the new store document a $216,000 construction for the build-out. Conner said most materials for the store will be reclaimed including the set of shelves and fixtures salvaged from what was left of a 1962 World's Fair exhibit still being stored at the Seattle Center.
The new space is being designed by Prentiss Architects.
"It's going to be a bigger store with a more expanded selection," Conner said, comparing the Capitol Hill project to his Queen Anne outlet. "It will be the first time we build from scratch."
Production of the meals will continue at the Eat Local headquarters in Burien.
The prepared meals market will be joined in the Joule retail by a new GNC Live Well store, according to city records. Construction permits for a space for the vitamin and supplement provider are filed and the work will be underway shortly. The construction budget is listed at just over $50,000. The two new additions further round out the mix of services and restaurants that have made the Joule home. We wrote about some of the challenges the building's developers faced in filling the retail portion of the building back in summer 2010. Not long after, we learned of the new Umpqua Bank joining the line-up. Recent additions include the UPS Store (which moved down the street) and Portland-based health clinic concept ZoomCare. The building is also home to restaurants Blue Moon Burger, Mod Pizza, Saizen Sushi and Qdoba. The largest puzzle piece — more than 4,000 square feet of retail in the large unit at the corner of Republican and Broadway — remains unfilled.
At Eat Local, Conner said the store will need to hire about a dozen workers to staff the new location with hours likely to run 8a-9p when it opens this summer. Like the Queen Anne store, Eat Local Capitol Hill will have a coffee bar and feature goods from Empire Ice Cream, Theo Chocolate, Fish Tale Organic Beer, Parker Pickles, and Holmquist Hazelnuts in addition to the Eat Local meals.
The Capitol Hill store also gives Conner an opportunity for an even more local Eat Local experience. He moved to Capitol Hill this fall.

Dulce de leche is a soft milk-caramel confection that is yet again one of the year's top flavors. If you don't have time to make the sauce, look for it with the ice cream toppings at the market. Note that the baked cheesecake must be chilled overnight before serving.
- Yield
- Makes 14 servings
- Crust
- 8 ounces shortbread cookies
- 1/3 cup pecans (about 1 1/2 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- Filling
- 12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 8-ounce containers mascarpone cheese,* room temperature
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- For crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap outside of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides with 3 layers of heavy-duty foil. Finely grind shortbread cookies and pecans in processor. Add melted butter and process until crumbs are moistened. Press crumb mixture onto bottom (not sides) of prepared pan. Bake crust until golden, about 15 minutes. Cool crust completely on rack. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
- For filling:
- Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese in large bowl until smooth. Add mascarpone and flour; beat until smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Gradually add sugar and beat until smooth. Beat in vanilla and lemon juice. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
- Pour filling over crust in pan. Place springform pan in large roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake cheesecake until top is golden and cake is almost set (center 2 inches will still move slightly when pan is gently shaken), about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool cake on rack 1 hour. Refrigerate uncovered overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
- Arrange Candied Pecans decoratively atop cake. Cut cake into wedges. Serve with Dulce de Leche Sauce.
- *Italian cream cheese, available at Italian markets and many supermarkets.

I have been recently hacked- I think by a netspy trojan-I have three computers on a wired microsoft router,hooked into comcast broadband cable. The system originally had Norton 2002 which hadn't been updated for sometime.
The hacker gained complete control of my system, but seems to want to use the broadband capability rather than to shut me down.
The router management tool gives me status on current IP addresses for the three computers, the gateway to the WAN, and the current WAN IP.
When I run netstat there is an additional IP listed as local to my LAN wtih an established link to a foriegn IP which happens to be the router NAT IP for one of my computers.
So I went into Norton internet security 2003 (recently added) and set the firewall to block a range of IPs around this local IP that I dont recognise-you guessed it, this prevented me from accessing the Web. I removed the block and pinged the address-it came back with 0ms delay and a message saying that the address was part of my LAN.
Am I missing something or is this guy still controlling things ? I'm running XP Pro.

...the Mesdan Auxiliary Regiment were raised to suppress mining revolts on the surface of their home world, Adorinda. When the regime that backed Colonel Noventa's rise through the ranks fell, the new President acted swiftly to disband them - by force. In a 28-hour battle, the regiment broke out, captured the spaceport, and escaped into orbit - foiling pursuit by the admirably direct method of detonating a 12MT fissile device over the port. Their careers as mercenaries had begun...
I remember it a little different. Mostly the sulfur smell and the dust getting into everything.
Fuck, it really did. We changed the buttplugs every hour and it was still clogging the intakes. Blowing the port was an improvement on that shithole.
Anyway, we've been 'volunteered' to introduce you soft bastards at home to the hardware. I'll be the first to admit we're rough around the edges - and the surfaces, and the insides...
You know, maybe I'm gettin' soft in my old age, but I think we prob'ly coulda made it without nuking all those poor civvie bastards at the port.
'Maybe' she says. You're in the wrong outfit for rescuin' kittens, Tosca. 'Less you wanna wear a nurse's uniform with a short skirt while I-
Can it, you two. We're recording.
'Poor bloody' is right. You scrub, and scrub, but those god-damn armored environment suits smell like ball sweat after two hours, just the same.
Tosca'd know, right Captain?
Stefansen, it's like you think I'm not gonna give you shit-burning duty or something.
They're nasty-minded pigfuckers at the best of times, and that heavy armor gets pretty sweaty and gross inside - doesn't improve their disposition one bit. I'm proud to have 'em around, even if they do nearly as much damage to the port bars as the enemy.
That fucker Cortezar especially. I think the MPs shit themselves a little when he's on the sauce.
Not to say that MPs don't shit themselves habitually.
Fucking right.
Anyway, you might have noticed we deploy a lot of heavy infantry in sealed suits. Personally, I just like that it keeps them from spraying all over the tank when they go pop, but we do a lot of fighting in hostile terrain and chemical battlefields, and it's nice when the crunchies don't die too easy.
Yeah, still creepy-lookin'. Can't shake the old boot-camp stories about the docs using casualties to provide brain matter for the combat computer. Maintenance swears it's bullshit, but I don't trust anybody who steals like they do. By the way, where's my spare track, you fucking thieves?
Chop the shit out of aircraft with those railers, though, right out to the horizon. Can't fault 'em for that.
You can when half the time they nearly get us, dipshit. No target discrimination a-tall.
Really, you gotta be crazy. It's way too fast, it's fragile, and it's got a big fucking grenade launcher strapped to it.* 'Look ma, no hands'!
Better them than us, though. I like it just fine when the crazy fuckers draw fire off me.
Chatty on the comms, too. It's like they forget someone's shooting at 'em.
*Fortunately, all those add up to a big, shiny minifig magnet in the great tradition of $3 polybag space sets, so there's no shortage of pilots.
I love these things. Not that I'd say that to any cannon-cocker's face, but you need backup, they're there, waiting to blast your target right off the map.
(falsetto) Ooh, Captain likes a big gun!
You'd almost think he enjoys the latrines.
That's my girl, #7 Suzy Q. 120 tons, 60mm railgun, couple racks of missiles, and plenty of attitude. Leaving the other guy with shit in his pants and abject failure on his mind.
Helps that you've got me along.
Helps with what? It's not like you're much of a driver, the way you keep clipping off the antenna going under bridges. I can't do my job if you keep fucking up our gear.
Tits, if you got a problem with my driving you can suck-
Shit-burning, Stefansen. For the rest of your life.
I hate sentry guns. Fucking. Hate. They never hit what they're supposed to hit if you set them too low, and if you set them too high, they burn out all their ammo and spray squirrel parts everywhere, oh, and you can fool the fucking things with a cheap-ass thermal blanket.
I can't sack them, they're my best tank crew. And they know it.

Sony reassures gamers over PS4 Watch Dogs bundle pre-orders
If you've already pre-ordered one of Sony's PS4 console and Watch Dogs bundles then the message is simple – don't worry.
While a couple of retailers in the US have reached out to customers to assure them, we're yet to hear from any in the UK.
Sony, however, has told MCV that it's currently working things out behind the scenes, stating: "Obviously this is a very recent announcement, but we will be working very closely both with Ubisoft and with our partners at retail to manage this situation."
What seems most likely is that consumers will be offered the choice of an alternative bundled game. Assassin's Creed IV is perhaps the obvious choice, not only because it's also a Ubisoft title but also because, like Watch Dogs, it's an open-world game – albeit one with a vastly different setting.
Some retailers may also offer the chance to change to a solus pre-order while others may ship you the console on launch day and the game in the spring when it is eventually released.
The key thing to take away is this – Watch Dogs may be MIA but that doesn't affect hardware numbers, so if you've pre-ordered a console that's still yours.
Expect all to be confirmed within the next few days.

BATON ROUGE, La. —
More than 340,000 people voted early for the Nov. 6 election when the weeklong period to cast ballots before Election Day wrapped up.
That's nearly 12 percent of Louisiana's 2.9 million registered voters who have already made their decisions in the presidential race, congressional races and a slew of local competitions.
Early voting closed Tuesday. The latest data on how many people cast ballots during the time was posted online Wednesday by the Secretary of State's Office.
Lines were long in many places for early voting, and the turnout topped figures from the last presidential election. In 2008, about 292,000 people cast their ballots in advance of the election, according to data from the Secretary of State's Office.

Phillies' bats unable to get going vs. Reds

"Everybody has to have the same mentality, not just like one, two or three guys," Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz said following Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Reds at Great American Ball Park. "And as a team we have to stay together and we have to believe that we can turn around everything."
Does this team have the same mentality?
"I know that everybody tries to do their best," Ruiz said. "We would like to win a little more. We have some good games, like the first day here [in Cincinnati]. It was exciting. We were pumped. We have to find a way to stay that way. We're going to lose some games, but at the same time, if we could put together the same mentality, a lot of good things could happen."
But if a turnaround comes will it come before it is too late, if it isn't too late already? The Phillies left Cincinnati on a cloudy afternoon with a 25-36 record, which is the worst record in the National League and the second-worst record in baseball. They are on pace to lose 96 games following an 89-loss season in 2013. Since a 15-14 record on May 4, the Phillies are 10-22, including a 1-5 mark on their just completed road trip through Washington and Cincinnati.
"I believe in my team," Ruiz said. "We have some great players here. Like I say, we put everything together and believe, we can turn around everything. I hope you know we can do this. We have to do our best at home and go from there. We've got to keep going."
The road trip started Tuesday with a very brief team meeting at Nationals Park in Washington, where Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg spoke for only a minute or two to stress the urgency of the moment and the need to focus and execute in big moments.
"Well, that's what we need to see going forward," Sandberg said. "Execution and putting everything together. That's what's needed; playing solid games. That's what we need to do."
But does this team have the ability to do that?
"Well, I see the potential every now and then," he said. "We just need to be more consistent with putting everything together."
The Phillies thought a controversial play at the plate cost them in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Reds, but they had nothing like that to point to Sunday. They simply could not hit Reds right-hander Homer Bailey, while Phillies right-hander David Buchanan made a couple of costly mistakes in a four-run fifth inning.
The Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the third, which included Jimmy Rollins' 2,230th hit of his career. He needs five more hits to pass Mike Schmidt (2,234) for the franchise's all-time hits record.
Buchanan worked effectively through four scoreless innings, allowing only three baserunners. But things fell apart in the fifth inning as the Reds took a three-run lead.
Todd Frazier started the inning with a leadoff single to center and Zack Cosart followed two batters later with a one-out double to right to put runners on second and third. The Phillies moved the infield in with Bailey at the plate. He hit a 0-1 curveball past Rollins to score both runners to make it 2-1.
"Just missed my spot," Buchanan said. "I got the ground ball. I was hoping it would get to Jimmy. He happened to find the hole up the middle. It's unfortunate."
Buchanan then threw Billy Hamilton a 3-2 changeup and he hit the pitch out to right field for a two-run home run. It was Hamilton's second homer of the season.
"If I throw that ball down and away ... looking back at the video, he was out front," Buchanan said. "He was probably sitting on it a little bit, but if I put that ball down and away, he probably doesn't hit it."
Asked if he liked the changeup there, Sandberg said, "He had a real good fastball today. He was effective with it. [The changeup] was elevated, even the curveball to the pitcher. He was real good the rest of the game with his fastball to both sides of the plate and his slider. Executed better, it would have been a better pitch."
The Phillies just completed a stretch of 20 games in 20 days with an off-day Monday. They follow that grueling stretch with 21 games in 20 days with their next off-day June 30. If they continue to play like they have until June 30 there is little doubt this team will be a seller, not a buyer at the non-waiver Trade Deadline on July 31.
"This is considered early in the season," Sandberg said, which appears to contradict the urgency message from Tuesday. "It's about everybody chipping in and doing something each day."
So when isn't it early anymore?
"Well, we still haven't had a hot streak," he said. "I believe there is a hot streak in there. If we could put together two or three weeks or a month with a hot streak, we can chip away and get back."
