Uploading app to App Store(IP V6 problem)
Budget $30-250 USD
It's a simple daily quote app.
It displays quotation retrieved from mssql database.
Development was finished. All of the features of app was implemented perfectly.
But, During upload it to app store, it was rejected by Apple because it is not IPv6 Compliant.
I thought maybe it was because the IP Address literal for the sql server was hard coded in the program so I replaced it with the hostname but that was rejected by Apple as well. Here is what they said:
We discovered one or more bugs in your app when reviewed on iPad and iPhone running iOS 10.1 on Wi-Fi connected to an IPv6 network.
Specifically, no content appears for any chosen day.
We've attached screenshot(s) for your reference.
Next Steps
Please run your app on a device while connected to an IPv6 network (all apps must support IPv6) to identify the issue(s), then revise and resubmit your app for review.
If we misunderstood the intended behavior of your app, please reply to this message in Resolution Center to provide information on how these features were intended to work.
For new apps, uninstall all previous versions of your app from a device, then install and follow the steps to reproduce the issue(s). For updates, install the new version as an update to the previous version, then follow the steps to reproduce the issue(s).

Jack Davison had been in business on Main Avenue for more than a decade when he decided to move his business to Bodo Industrial Park in 1999.
He was drawn by lower rents and access to parking spaces, said Davison, who co-owns Office Source, an office-equipment, furniture and office-supply dealer.
The park was originally built to attract small manufacturers and industrial users in an effort to diversify Durango's economy. But Davison's business represents what has become a new wave of occupants: a tend toward retail and light-commercial uses, which includes restaurants, hotels, office buildings and health services.
The influx has slowly changed the face of Bodo while raising questions about a new location where the city or county can meet the demand for industrial and heavy commercial that Bodo was initially meant to fill.
Space crunch
Durango needs to build about 30,000 square feet of light-industrial and service-commercial space every year to satisfy business growth in those sectors during the next eight years, said Eliot Hoyt, a principal at Design Workshop, a Denver-based consulting firm that has worked with the county to analyze demand and supply for commercial space.
Bodo, the Durango Tech Center and Animas Air Park have kept up with demand relatively well, but even in 2010 "there was a feeling that there was demand that was difficult to meet because of a lack of available land," Hoyt said.
There is some question about whether "constraints of lack of land are potentially holding down potential for creating business and jobs," he said.
Bodo's beginnings
Bodo Industrial Park began in the early 1970s, the work of a group of banks and private businesses that put up the initial funds and took loans to buy the property that had previously been used by a local rancher for summer pasture. Soon after, the nonprofit Durango Industrial Development Foundation formed to purchase and develop the land for commercial use with a goal of attracting industry to help boost job creation and diversify the economy.
The park provided space for both new businesses and existing businesses that had outgrown their space in the central business district, said Bobby Lieb, La Plata County Commissioner whose father, Bob Lieb started one of the first manufacturing companies in Bodo. Many manufacturing businesses located there, including Coca-Cola, Redfield Riflescopes and Bouré Bicycle Clothing, but, through the years, that started to change.
"You have seen an evolution of Bodo from heavy commercial borderline industrial to more light commercial and retail, and it's purely market driven," Lieb said.
No longer out of town
As Durango has grown, Bodo is no longer on the outer ring of the city, said Greg Spitler, owner of WestCO Commercial who has created a database of commercial property in Durango.
"Now that Bodo is closer in, it has morphed from industrial park to office, light commercial space, and, as a result, it has squeezed heavy commercial and industrial," he said.
And as Durango expands real estate prices in Bodo will continue to go up, posing difficulties for heavier commercial endeavors that need large facilities for their operations but may not be able to afford increasing rates, Lieb said.
The county has seen an increase in land-use permit requests from businesses who used to be in Bodo but now are seeking to locate businesses outside city limits, Lieb said.
Future needs
Looking into the future, Lieb and several others in the economic-development arena continue to ask how La Plata County will accommodate light-industrial and manufacturing-style businesses that Bodo may have originally accommodated. Bodo is at capacity and isn't actually zoned for industrial use, said Roger Zalneraitis, director of the La Plata County Economic Development Alliance.
And many county residents oppose light-industrial uses setting up shop all over the county, Spitler said. Industrial parks provide structure, predictability, utilities services and a way to mitigate environmental impact, he said.
The county and the city of Durango are considering the La Posta Road area for light-industrial service commercial use and the Durango Industrial Development Foundation is reviving work on a proposal to build a new business park near the Durango-La Plata County Airport. But both endeavors are currently in the planning stages, and they still need to go through several steps including local government approval processes and public comment.
An industrially zoned business park is the "place we are most in need of in La Plata County," Zalneraitis said. A lot of the companies that may need industrial space are base companies, or primary employers, that bring jobs and money into the county by exporting value-added products or services.
County Commissioner candidate Julie Westendorff has touted the economic benefits of adding a business park as a part of her campaign platform.
Walking in Bodo?
Meanwhile, Bodo's growth has raised issues about how the park can accommodate a changing wave of occupants. Businesses such as Ska Brewing Co. that attract visitors have put a spotlight on the lack of on-street parking and pedestrian accommodations.
"(The park) wasn't built to be pedestrian-friendly, but changes that occurred through time have brought the question of pedestrian use more into focus," said Greg Hoch, city's senior planner.
The roads aren't adequate for the amount of traffic and types of vehicles using them, and some businesses have complained of unexpected power surges, Zalneraitis said.
Even so, most in the business community who spoke about Bodo said the industrial park has done wonders.
"Bodo met a fantastic need for Durango and La Plata County," Spitler said. "It did exactly what it was supposed to do."

Magic Mile Power Rankings: Daytona
It may have taken nearly 12 hours to complete, but at the end of a long and arduous Sunday, NASCAR fans were rewarded with one of the most memorable Daytona 500's in history. Dale Earnhardt Jr. captured his second-career win in the "Great American Race" - his last coming in 2004 - and with it has locked himself into the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship only one week into the season.
More importantly (at least to us here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway), he's put himself atop the Magic Mile Power Rankings to kick off the 2014 season. But while there is little debate who should be on top, the rest of the top 10 can certainly be discussed and debated. So have it, fans! As always, we would love to know what you think.
Here's a look at the Magic Mile Power Rankings heading into Race 2 at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday:
1. Dale Earnhardt Jr. - The six hour and 22 minute wait certainly put a damper on the initial excitement of the new NASCAR season. But having Earnhardt not only win the Daytona 500 - on the day his father's legendary No. 3 made its return to the track - but lock up a spot in the Chase was the ultimate storybook ending for Junior Nation. Now, what does he do for an encore?
2. Denny Hamlin - The FedEx Toyota was as good during speedweeks as any in NASCAR. His win in the Sprint Unlimited and Gatorade Duel gave him an opportunity at becoming the first driver to ever sweep speedweeks, but his second-place finish on Sunday night prevented an opportunity to enter the history books. Of course, the way he's driving, he has his sights on a different kind of history.
3. Brad Keselowski - The 2013 season was one to forget for the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion. It looks like Mr. Twitter has put his rough championship defense behind him, though, as he was super-fast at Daytona and certainly had a car that could have easily coasted into victory lane.
4. Jimmie Johnson - While he did lead 15 laps, this was another prime example of what makes Six-Time so good and yet such an irritant to his detractors. Johnson never really seemed like a threat or had a dominant car, but in the end there he was, checking off his first top-five of the season.
5. Matt Kenseth - One of only two drivers in the top 10 to finish the race in a lower position than where they started, Kenseth ran a strong race, placing a strong sixth after starting the race in third. Time will tell if the disappointment of falling short of his second championship will weigh on the veteran or if the internal competition will motivate him as he enters his second year at Joe Gibbs Racing.
6. Greg Biffle - The amount of speed Biff showed on Sunday, and throughout speedweeks, was impressive given how poorly Roush Fenway Racing tested at the 2.5-mile trioval in the offseason. It's clear they found something over at RFR with Biffle setting the pace for eight laps and finishing just behind Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
7. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. - He didn't lead any laps on Sunday, but it was a great day nonetheless for the sophomore Cup pilot. Starting 34th, Stenhouse finished the race in seventh, scoring a top-10 in the first race of the year. That's a good sign given he didn't record his first top-10 until the last race of the regular season in 2013.
8. Austin Dillon - It wasn't a perfect debut for the driver of the No. 3 for Richard Childress Racing. Yet, anytime you can score a top-10 then you're doing something right. Dillon started the race on the pole and finished the race in ninth, which isn't too shabby considering he found himself in the middle of three different multi-car wrecks - each he exited unscathed.
9. Jeff Gordon - The guy finishes fourth in the Daytona 500 and he's ninth in the MMPR? Well, looking at his run as a whole, it was an average day for Gordon. No one should be punished for being in the right place in the right time, but in this case that's exactly what it was. Props to Gordon, though, for pushing Junior to the front on the last restart.
10. Joey Logano - This was a tough choice, as Casey Mears placed 10th, recording his second straight top-10 at Daytona, while Kyle Busch led 19 laps and had a strong car all race, but his 19th-place finish wasn't good enough for the MMPR. So, let's give it to Logano, who hung around all day/night, led a pair of laps and placed 11th.
Wave Around: Paul Menard - He finished the race 16 laps down in 32nd place, yet the 27 team has a lot to be excited about out of the gates.
*This list is comprised of drivers that compete in the Sprint Cup Series on full-time basis.


text: WASDE: Total Meat Production Forecast Raised March 9, 2012 01:20 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email LIVESTOCK, POULTRY, AND DAIRY: The 2012 forecast of total red meat and poultry production is raised from last month as higher broiler and turkey production is expected to more than offset lower forecast beef production. The pork production forecast is unchanged. The broiler production forecast is raised for the first half of the year based on January production data and stronger forecast prices. Beef production is lowered from last month. Steer and heifer slaughter is forecast lower, but is partly offset by higher expected cow slaughter. Early year carcass weights are raised due to mild weather in much of the country. Turkey production is forecast higher as higher prices are expected to encourage a more rapid expansion. Egg production is lowered slightly for 2012 as prices are forecast lower. Poultry and egg production for 2011 is adjusted to reflect revisions in production data. The beef export forecast for 2012 is unchanged but imports are raised. Pork exports are raised from last month based on the strength of December export data. The broiler export forecast is unchanged from last month. Changes in estimates for 2011 trade reflect December data. Cattle prices for 2012 are raised from last month, reflecting tightening supplies of fed cattle. Hog price forecasts are unchanged from last month. Broiler and turkey price forecasts are raised as current prices have strengthened. Egg price forecasts are reduced on lower-thanexpected early year prices. The milk production forecast for 2012 is raised. Milk cow numbers are raised as herds are increasing more rapidly than expected. Although herds are expected to decline from 2011 in the second half of the year, the rate will be less than previously expected. Mild weather in the early part of the year is also supporting higher levels of milk production. Import and export forecasts are unchanged. Changes in 2011 estimates of supply and use reflect revised annual stocks data and December trade data. With higher forecast 2012 milk production, prices for cheese, butter, nonfat dry milk, and whey are lowered. As a result, both Class III and Class IV price forecasts are reduced from last month. The all milk price for 2012 is lowered to $17.60-$18.20 per cwt. Back to news

U.N. approves Palestinian 'observer state' bid
By David Ariosto and Michael Pearson, CNN
updated 5:50 PM EST, Thu November 29, 2012
New York (CNN) -- The United Nations General Assembly on Thursday endorsed an upgraded U.N. status for the Palestinian Authority, despite intense opposition from the United States and Israel.
The resolution elevates their status from "non-member observer entity" to "non-member observer state," the same category as the Vatican, which Palestinians hope will provide new leverage in their dealings with Israel.
Its leaders had been working with dozens of supporting nations to develop a formal draft, enlisting the backing of European countries such as France and Spain.
The vote was 138 delegates in favor of the measure, nine against and 41 abstentions, including Germany.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said the move, which many call symbolic, represents a "last chance to save the two-state solution."
It comes on the heels of an eight-day conflict that raged between Israel and Hamas fighters, where a series of airstrikes and rocket launches drew international attention and threatened regional stability.
"We did not come here seeking to delegitimize a state established years ago, and that is Israel; rather we came to affirm the legitimacy of the state that must now achieve its independence, and that is Palestine," he said.
But Israel's U.N. ambassador Ron Prosor said the move largely ignores the specifics of longstanding issues, such as settlements in disputed lands, and cannot substitute for direct negotiations between Jerusalem and Ramallah.
This resolution "doesn't pursue peace," Prosor said, criticizing Abbas for being unable to represent the Gaza Strip, where a Hamas-controlled government presides.
"It pushes it backwards," he said.
The effort stalled last year when it became apparent that the bid could not get the necessary support in the Security Council. Observer state status does not require Security Council approval, unlike full membership recognition.
The observer status resolution needs only a majority of the U.N.'s 193 members to approve.
The United States and Israel have remained steadfast in their opposition, saying the move will not advance the cause of Middle East peace.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice said American leaders could not support a measure that circumvents direct talks and cautioned that Thursday's decision did "not establish Palestine as a state."
Rice urged both sides to the resume direct negotiations without preconditions.
"Israel is prepared to live in peace with the Palestinian state," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday. "But for peace to endure, Israel's security must be protected, the Palestinians must recognize the Jewish state and they must be prepared to end the conflict with Israel once and for all."
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev called the resolution "political theater."
But Palestinian leaders have said they had the right to go to the U.N. because Israel failed to comply with agreements signed more than two decades ago.
"It's about a contract. Our contract is that in five years, we should have concluded the treaty of peace and all core issues. This did not happen, and we're talking about 20 years later. And going to the U.N. is not a unilateral step," Palestinian Authority chief negotiator Saeb Erakat said in September.
The last round of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority was in 2010.
Erakat said the new status would eliminate Israeli justifications for building settlements in the disputed areas of East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
But Israeli officials disagreed.
"No decision by the U.N. can break the 4,000-year-old bond between the people of Israel and the land of Israel," Netanyahu said.

|TRON: Evolution
Abraxas, formerly Jalen, was an Alpha-class ISO that evolved into a computer virus and attacked the Tron system in 1989. He is the main antagonist of TRON: Evolution.
Abraxas' features are tall and thin, almost sickly in appearance, and his circuitry is yellow, with more of a "cracked" design to his circuits than traditional program circuitry. He wears a hood and a long black cloak over his right shoulder, all outlined with circuits. His primary weapon is his identity disc, and he also possesses a virulent plague touch.
Jalen was an ISO who arose from the Sea of Simulation in TC29. He was adopted by Kevin Flynn for intensive study regarding the unknown nature of ISOs. He received an advanced education of user culture from Flynn alongside fellow ISO, Ophelia, and slated for ordination for System Administrator. He competed in the Game Arena, and he skillfully worked his way up in the tournament, but was disqualified when it was discovered that he was an ISO rather than a Basic.
Clu, operating from a hidden agenda, intervened and allowed Jalen back into the tournament, which Jalen then won, gaining him the respect of ISOs and Basics alike. Clu "awarded" him a disc upgrade, which was actually a sinister subroutine in disguise. When Jalen discovered the construction site of Clu's ship, the Regulator, the modified disc was triggered, erasing all memory of his past life and reprogramming and transform the ISO into a monstrous virus. Jalen was no more, having been replaced with the diabolical Abraxas. Clu planned on using Abraxas to destroy and infect the remaining ISOs. Officially Jalen was reported to have been derezzed in an accident in the arena, which was meant to be a non-lethal sporting event.
During the system administrator installation ceremony of Jalen's former associate, Radia, Abraxas showed himself. Jumping from a balcony into the crowd, Abraxas infected many programs, both ISOs and Basics. He derezzed many system monitors, feigning an intention to infect System Administrator Clu. The administrator was "saved" by the timely arrival of Flynn's prototype system monitor Anon. The two had a lengthy duel which resulted in Abraxas fleeing, leaving behind shards of his broken identity disc which had splintered off after a strike from Anon's disc.
While the chaos at the installation ceremony was initially blamed on Anon, Clu revealed Abraxas to Radia shortly after the Purge. Radia immediately recognized him as a corrupted Jalen, but he flinched away from her hand, stating that it didn't matter and this was who he was now. At Clu's instigation, Abraxas bid Radia goodbye and struck her with his disc, derezzing her.
Immediately thereafter, Abraxas again battled Anon, who had witnessed Radia's deresolution. Trapped under rubble, the virus was presumed dead when Clu's warship levelled Arjia City. Anon, damaged by the explosion, was restored by Flynn, who upgraded his disc using information taken from the broken shards of Abraxas's disc.
However, Abraxas later reappeared, more powerful than ever, in Bostrum Colony. Fleeing the viral infection, Anon and Gibson shut down the Bostrum Reactor so that Abraxas couldn't absorb the reactor's energy. As they attempted to escape to Arjia City, Abraxas caught up with them and infected Gibson, whom Anon was subsequently forced to derezz.
Hijacking a recognizer, Abraxas crashed it into the master propulsion core of Clu's ship, seeking revenge upon Clu for leaving him alive instead of consigning his agonizing existence to oblivion once his tasks had been completed. Using his infected programs, Abraxas attempted to absorb the entire ship's energy, but was finally destroyed by Anon, who blew up the core with Abraxas still inside it. Anon wouldn't live to celebrate his victory, however, as he was also derezzed while attempting to escape the crashing ship.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
|My disease can spread faster than you can fight it.
In addition to showing great mastery of his identity disc, Abraxas is a powerful computer virus whose very touch is dangerous. He can corrupt any program through simple physical contact, turning them into violent, viral monsters under his control. He can also corrupt the environment around him through his very footsteps. Similarly, he can use his identity disc as a conduit for his infection by slamming it into the ground or wall, causing the infection to spread along the surface like water. Abraxas' claws are extremely sharp and can instantly de-rezz programs. Abraxas can also absorb energy from generators to grow in strength.
- Abraxas was named after a real-life DOS virus known as the Abraxas virus or Abraxas5. It was first discovered in April of 1993, and was capable of infecting and overwriting programs, which, when executed, made a loud, ascending scale play as the words "ABRAXAS" displayed on-screen. Among the text strings found in Abraxas-infected files are the ominous phrases, "...For he is not of this day" "...Nor is he of this mind".
- In Arjia City, there is a location known as Jalen Plaza.
- Abraxas' voice actor, John Glover, also voices the villainous Dyson in TRON: Uprising. Ironically, given Abraxas's nature, Dyson considered ISOs to be a spreading disease that perverted the Grid.

In life, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez could always draw a crowd — whether dancing in the rain or riding atop a truck through the streets of Caracas. In death, he did not disappoint: Red-clad followers choked streets Wednesday, some hanging over bridges, as they sang and wept behind a hearse carrying his remains.
His brown wooden casket, surrounded by a civilian and military escort, left the Carlos Aveledo Military Hospital about 11 a.m. draped in the Venezuelan flag and topped with a wreath. When it arrived at the Military Academy seven hours later, it was piled high with flowers, hats and T-shirts thrown by the surging crowds.
The emotional procession was a fitting end for Chávez, 58, whose down-to-earth political style and "Bolivarian Revolution" made him a hero to the poor and helped fuel massive political rallies.
Victor Davila, a 33-year-old chef, was planning to follow the funeral hearse all day. He said he had attended dozens of Chávez's rallies over the years and said the massive turnouts proved the nation's love for their fallen leader.

"Look at all these people," he said, gesturing toward the crowds. "They didn't want to miss his final march."
Chávez, a fiery socialist who led the country for 14 years, died Tuesday after an almost two-year battle with cancer. During his tenure, he poured the nation's oil wealth into social programs, including free healthcare, education and subsidized housing that won the gratitude of many and helped build an unassailable political base.
As a brass band played, soldiers marched his casket into the atrium of the Military Academy, where the one-time tank commander got his training and recruited fellow cadets to join a coup in 1992. The coup failed, but it launched his political career and he won the presidency seven years later. Venezuelans have been invited to view his body, which will lay in state until Friday.
Never defeated at the ballot box, Chávez's death gives Venezuela's battered opposition a chance to see if they can do better against his handpicked successor, Vice President Nicolás Maduro.
Under the constitution, new elections should be held within 30 days, and many in Wednesday's crowd said they would back Maduro as a tribute to Chávez.
"For us revolutionaries, Maduro is no longer Maduro, he is Chávez," said Carlos Araujo, a 35-year-old electrical worker.
Maduro, 50, walked in front of the hearse, jostled by the crowds and accompanied by Bolivian President Evo Morales and other cabinet members. The funeral could kick off an intense political race for the one-time union organizer and former foreign minister.
To remain at the helm, he'll likely have to face 40-year-old Henrique Capriles, the energetic governor of Venezuela's most populous state, Miranda. Capriles ran against Chávez in October, and although he failed to win, he attracted a record number of votes. That has made him the perceived frontrunner as the coalition of opposition parties, known as the MUD, tries to choose a single candidate to take on the administration.
A source close to the MUD, who was not authorized to speak to the media, said the eventual contender would not be announced until the government sets the date for new elections.
Even so, many analysts give Maduro the edge.
"Chavismo retains high degrees of popular support, and the sympathy effect, together with the fear that without Chávez the opposition could reverse [his] policies will make him very competitive," wrote Risa Grais-Targow, an analyst with the Eurasia group. "In addition, the government has ample resources and a high capacity to mobilize supporters, all of which will strengthen his candidacy."
But doubts about Maduro persist in many quarters.
Tatiana Carrero, a 39-year-old graphic designer, said she feared that Maduro's bellicose style and verbal attacks on the opposition were going to further polarize Venezuela.
"If things weren't calm here with Chávez, I think it's going to be even worse with Maduro," she said. "All I'm hoping for now is that whatever comes next isn't worse than what we had."
Even some Chávistas in the crowd admitted that voting for Maduro would be an act of faith.
"Only time will tell if Maduro is the man for the job," said Amador Carrazco, 48. "But Chávez was wise and he had his reasons; and as good disciples, we'll give Maduro our vote."
The procession lasted for more than seven hours and collapsed traffic and phone lines in parts of the city, but near Plaza Francia, an opposition stronghold, stores were open and traffic was lighter than usual.
Omar Desa, a 33-year-old architect, admitted that it wasn't polite to speak ill of the dead "but we have to say things as they are: Chávez did a lot of damage to this country."
Desa said he blamed the administration's draconian dollar controls and price regulation for bankrupting his family's clothing business. He also said that he feared Maduro would be swept into power on the backs of a sympathy vote.
"That's what I'm truly sad about," he said. "I don't think our challenges are coming to an end."
The national grief also seemed to have put the workings of government on hold, legal experts said. More than 24 hours after Chávez's death, the National Assembly had not declared the presidency "vacant" and had not sworn in an acting president.
"Venezuela needs to have someone in charge of the presidency and for that to happen there has to be a swearing in," said Cecilia Sosa Gomez, a former chief justice. "The reaction from the powers of state has been an emotional one. I'm not criticizing them for it, but we can't forget about the constitution."
A state funeral will be held Friday and leaders from around the world are expected. Some of Chavez's staunchest supporters have already arrived.
Argentina's President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Uruguay's José Mujica traveled overnight. Bolivia's Morales, a close friend of Chávez's, arrived Wednesday morning.
Jesús Mendez, 32, brought his 5-year-old daughter to watch the procession so she might remember the man who was larger than life. Mendez said the Chávez administration had given his family a free house and helped his wife get through medical school.
"He has left a huge hole in this country, but he had so many projects and he has left the foundations set for the next president," Mendez said. "Chávez is part of history now; he was a great father to Venezuela."

Space shuttle carrier 747 prepares for 8-mile move
A Boeing 747 would normally fly the eight miles from Ellington Field to Space Center Houston in just a couple of minutes. But a very special 747 will take two nights to make that trip.
"Even in a state as big as Texas, a move of this size is unprecedented," Houston Mayor Annise Parker said in a Space Center Houston news release about the "big move" Tuesday.
The 318,000-pound aircraft is one of two 747-100s that were adapted to ferry the space shuttle orbiters between landing sites and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Houston didn't win a competition for one of the retired orbiters. In fact, it had to send the full-fuselage mockup used to train astronauts to Seattle's Museum of Flight. So it plans to mount the space shuttle replica Independence atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft to create an attraction that will be taller than an eight-story building, featuring interactive exhibits inside the jet and shuttle replica. It's scheduled to open next year.
A Boeing team is now disassembling the 747 into nine big pieces (and many smaller bits) for the trip to the space center. Even so, the journey will require a 1,000-foot convoy, moving at walking speed. The largest piece will be the fuselage, which is 25 feet wide, 35 feet tall and 190 feet long.
The move is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. on April 28, pause early the following morning and resume at 9 that night.
Once at Space Center Houston, the same Boeing team will reassemble the aircraft, a process expected to take 44 days.

BOSTON -- In a speech Thursday to the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, outgoing Senate President Therese Murray of Plymouth cited pro-business government policies, positive economic indicators, the state's relatively high bond rating and its large reserve funds.
Murray also praised the work of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, the Mass. Technology Collaborative and the Mass. Growth Capital Corporation.
The 66-year-old Democrat, who began her Senate run in the early 1990s, is not seeking re-election.
Before she leaves the Legislature, Murray must hammer out details of major bills with House leaders and she faces the distraction of a trial of three former state probation department managers on fraud and racketeering charges in connection with an alleged scheme to deliver jobs to politically connected individuals.
In the trial's opening arguments Thursday, federal prosecutor Fred Wyshak described how an aide to Murray allegedly helped secure a job for Pat Lawton, who lasted less than two years at the department, having been fired after a drug arrest. After presiding over a Senate session, Murray declined to comment on the trial.
Murray said a $1 billion life sciences law approved in 2008 has created more than 2,500 new jobs. Companies that have received assistance from the life sciences center, which the law established, have created more than 7,700 jobs and invested more than $520 million, she said.
Murray made clear she sees Massachusetts as a leader in the life sciences industry.
"We are poised right now to be the center for the rest of the country," she said. "Silicon Valley, I can tell you, we're beating their clock. And no matter what they say given the size, particularly our size, we have more going on in the life science industry than Silicon Valley."
Murray also singled out the "big data" industry as critical, saying Massachusetts is home to around 500 companies in that industry, which she predicted would see 4,000 new jobs in the next year. She said the state's advanced manufacturing industry "has grown more than 50 percent faster here" than anywhere else in the nation.
The top ten global pharmaceutical companies now have a presence in Massachusetts, Murray said, promoting work conducted on trade missions to Finland and Ireland and noting that Massachusetts in October will for the third time host the EU-US eHealth Marketplace and Conference. During the same week in October, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, the Bioprocess International Conference and Partners Healthcare's 11th Annual Connected Health Symposium will all also be held in Boston, bringing more than 40,000 people to Massachusetts.
The EU-US eHealth Marketplace and Conference was supposed to be held in Washington, D.C., but officials there didn't seize the opportunity to host. "So we stole it, pretty much," Murray said, asserting her staff runs the entire event. She hopes her presumed successor, Majority Leader Sen. Stanley Rosenberg, will carry on the convention.
Murray described the size of the South Boston convention center as an "obstacle" to progress and called support for its expansion "critical."
Murray also signaled the Senate's intent to pass legislation next week aimed at fighting drug addiction and increasing access to treatment and said a Senate IT bond bill would feature reforms to address "serious consequences that come with having inefficiencies and lack of oversight in our systems." She specifically mentioned problems at websites run by the Health Connector and the Department of Unemployment Assistance.
The Senate also plans to introduce a grant-matching program for schools to update technology, Murray said, and will look at "how we can create a centralized database for residents who receive services and benefits from the state."
Asked about unfinished priorities, Murray voiced frustration with implementation of laws by the executive branch.
"We pass laws, and we think they're implemented by whatever administration is in power and they're not, as we found out with (Department of Children and Familes) and the problems there," she said. "We shouldn't have to look over those agencies to make sure they're following the statutes that are in law. But unfortunately we've seen it over and over and over that what we put in is not carried out by whatever administrations."

Hahaha! Too funny! Over here, we're all thanking god it's finally raining and bringing cooler weather. All relative, eh?? :) LReplyDelete
Haha, I guess the grass is always greener! Too hot isn't good, I just like it to be sunny. Cold and sunny's nice too, it's just this constant grey here that is so depressing.ReplyDelete
Not to worry though - it's cold and grey again today. Back to normal, I was starting to get too cheerful. :D

Bill Would Raise Missouri's Rural Highway Speed Limit
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A southwest Missouri lawmaker wants to let motorists push the pedal down a little farther when they're driving on rural highways.
Rep. Mike Kelley, a Republican from Lamar, pre-filed a bill Monday to raise the maximum speed limit to 75 mph in rural parts of the state. The state's current limit is 70 mph.
His measure would apply to cars and trucks traveling on parts of interstates and other four-lane roads that lie outside urban areas.
The change would put Missouri in line with Kansas' rural highway limit. Missouri's current speed limit was put in place after Congress repealed the 55 mph federal limit in 1995.
Missouri lawmakers are scheduled to begin their annual session Wednesday.

India's finance minister had a bruising battle with cabinet colleagues in the run-up to the budget he unveils this week, rebuffing demands for pre-election spending and insisting on austerity to shore up investors' faith in a troubled economy.
Aides to P. Chidambaram said the eloquent Harvard-educated lawyer finally convinced leaders of his Congress party that more profligate spending would make a sovereign rating downgrade to 'junk' status inevitable and could trigger an economic meltdown.
In pushing for austerity, officials said Chidambaram met no opposition from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh - architect of the 1991 economic reforms that led to the "Incredible India" story - or from the welfare-minded leader of the Congress party, Sonia Gandhi, pointing to increasing acceptance of the depth of India's economic problems.
"He wants to send out a credible and strong signal that India is on the right track," said one senior official privy to the secrecy-shrouded preparations for the 2013/14 budget. "He apprehends that yet another failure to honor fiscal commitments could end the India story."
Chidambaram has staked his reputation on meeting deficit cutting targets, embarking last month on a road show of financial centers where he sought to reassure foreign investors that India was serious about getting its fiscal house in order.
Several officials involved in budget planning told Reuters that tackling the bloated fiscal deficit will be the centerpiece of Chidambaram's presentation to parliament on Thursday.
They said his budget has also been crafted to avoid unnerving investors, who were dismayed last year by plans to tax merger and acquisition deals retrospectively and clamp down on tax evasion.
Together with a widening fiscal gap, the tax moves triggered a flight of capital from Asia's third-largest economy. The rupee was hammered and, with exports and foreign direct investment slowing, fears of a balance of payments crisis mounted.
New Delhi missed its fiscal deficit target of 4.6 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2011/2012 by 1.2 percentage point because of over-spending on social welfare and subsidies, prompting credit rating agencies to threaten a downgrade that would make India the first of the BRICS emerging economies to lose its investment-grade status.
(Read More: India's Investment Malaise Thwarting Quick Economic Rebound)
Chidambaram has repeatedly pledged to lower the deficit to 5.3 percent of GDP this fiscal year and 4.8 percent in 2013/14. But with economic growth languishing around 5.5 percent after the sharpest slowdown in a decade, the finance minister cannot rely on tax revenues to meet his goals.
The finance minister told a budget meeting last month that India had no alternative to meeting the fiscal deficit target and a slippage could have dire consequences, according to a senior bureaucrat who was present at that meeting.
Officials told Reuters that he has already slashed public spending in the current fiscal year that ends in March by some 9 percent from the original target and for 2013/14 he plans to cap it roughly at the same level.
In a Reuters poll conducted earlier this month, 18 out of 23 economists predicted that the focus of Chidambaram's budget speech will be on slashing subsidies and government handouts.
Letters to the Minister
That is not what other ministers wanted from the budget as the government - mired in corruption scandals and widely derided as incompetent in the face of the economic slowdown - faces a struggle for re-election in polls due by May, 2014.
Officials say that the rural development minister argued in one letter to Chidambaram against spending cuts that would hit housing and road construction in poor rural areas, on which the Congress party has traditionally relied for votes. He wrote again this month to avert a possible cut in funding to a rural employment guarantee scheme.
The tribal affairs minister wrote twice to Chidambaram to plead against cuts in welfare spending, worried that they could alienate tribals, who traditionally vote for the ruling Congress party. And the defense minister complained that budget cuts would hobble a grand plan to modernize India's armed forces.
(Read More: India Inflation Slows to More Than 3-Year Low in January)
Chidambaram wants these ministers and the railways minister to prioritize their spending, focusing primarily on critical projects, but has held out the prospect of additional funding if revenues pick up later in the year.
In a measure of the many demands Chidambaram faced, the Planning Commission - a powerful body of government advisers - sought an increase of at least 15 percent in capital spending over this year's original target to underpin growth. But he was ready to provide for a rise of just about 6 percent from actual spending.
"You can provide money only if you have money," said a top official at the Finance Ministry.
As well as keeping a lid on expenditure, Chidambaram is expected to announce steps to maximize revenues through more efficient tax collection, fewer tax exemptions and higher proceeds from the partial privatization of state-controlled companies.
But, wary of dealing another blow to investors' confidence, proposals for higher taxes on the super-rich that were floated early this year appear to have been ruled out.

Captain Claude Giroux and linemates lead Flyers to 7-0 rout of Islanders
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
UNIONDALE, N.Y. – The line of Claude Giroux, Matt Read and Jakub Voracek combined for three goals and 10 points Monday, helping the Philadelphia Flyers break a slump with a 7-0 matinee victory over the New York Islanders.
Giroux scored two goals and added an assist, Read had a goal and two assists and Voracek had four assists. Ilya Bryzgalov was solid in making 19 saves for his first shutout of the season and 30th in the NHL.
Zac Rinaldo scored his first goal of the season, and third of his NHL career, when he took a perfect feed from Harry Zolnierczyk and scored into a vacated net to make it 5-0 at 3:31 of the third. Danny Briere closed by scoring twice in the third period — first on a power play with 9:33 left and they win 2:14 remaining.
Giroux got the Flyers going with a goal just 26 seconds into the game and then added another with 5:15 left in the second to push the lead to 4-0. In between, Read and Brayden Schenn scored for the Flyers, who had lost three of four on their six-game trip that ends Wednesday in Pittsburgh.
Evgeni Nabokov played much better than his statistics showed and finished with 18 saves for New York. He kept the Islanders in the game during the first period that was dominated by Philadelphia. He made several key saves to keep the deficit at 1-0, but things got out of control in the game-turning second period.
The Flyers connected just 15 seconds into the middle period when Read scored his seventh of the season, putting in a rebound of Giroux's shot. Schenn scored a power-play goal at 7:57 — with another assist going to Voracek — and Giroux connected again with 5:15 left when he deftly pulled the puck from behind the net and stuffed it inside the left post.
Philadelphia blew the game open by scoring three times on just six second-period shots.
New York couldn't sustain the momentum generated by wins over the rival New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils in its previous two games following a five-game losing streak. While the Flyers will soon be heading home, the Islanders will begin a three-game trip at Ottawa on Tuesday.
Giroux was the catalyst for the Flyers, who were in desperate need of a win. After Philadelphia was beaten 4-1 in Montreal on Saturday, Giroux called out his teammates for their lackluster play.
"There's no compete," the Flyers captain said. "We're not winning battles. We're just going through the motions.
"We should be winning more battles than this. It's just frustrating to see. I know I have to be better, but a team is 20 guys and you need everybody to show up."
Giroux hadn't scored in seven games, and netted only one goal in 14 contests after posting a goal in each of Philadelphia's first two games of the season.
He took matters into his own hands right after the opening faceoff. Read skipped the puck down low to Giroux, who got behind defenseman Andrew MacDonald and snapped a shot past Nabokov.
The Islanders had been riding a hot power-play unit that scored on seven of 12 chances the previous three games, but it failed them during a 5-on-3 advantage that lasted a full two minutes in the first and generated only one shot.
NOTES: New York's John Tavares was chosen as the NHL's first star of last week after scoring five goals and adding two assists in three games, including his fourth career hat trick Saturday against the Devils. ... Islanders D Brian Strait injured his left ankle during the second period when he appeared to catch his skate in the ice without being hit and crashed into the boards in front of the New York bench. He was dragged onto the bench by teammates and didn't return. He was to be reevaluated Tuesday. ... Rinaldo hadn't scored since March 15, 2012 — a span of 24 games — also against the Islanders.

Racquetball team to host tournament this weekend
Liberty University's men's racquetball team will host its second tournament at The Sports Racket in Lynchburg this weekend with up to eight college teams, including Duke University and Virginia Tech.
In its first season, the team has "brought awareness of the sport to Liberty University as well as to the community and the Sports Racket," said Kirk Handy, director of Club Sports.
He said more than 60 student-athletes came to Liberty's home courts, located about 15 minutes from campus, for the first tournament in October 2011. Players, coaches and spectators filled the upper-level viewing room to watch the players compete on five courts.
The 35-year-old indoor tennis and racquetball facility also includes five tennis courts, a locker room and a gym. It is open for student and community use, including over 300 members. It was donated to Liberty in February 2011 by Sherwin Cook, a member of Liberty's Board of Trustees.
The next racquetball tournament, held this Friday through Sunday (Jan. 20-22), will feature teams from the Mid-Atlantic Conference, including the University of Virginia, University of North Carolina, Roanoke College, Appalachian State University, North Carolina State University, University of Maryland, The College of William & Mary, Duke and Virginia Tech. The tournament is free and open to the public.
There are currently nine players on Liberty's roster. Head coach Danny Rodriguez said the team is gaining popularity.
"The players go back to their dorms, and they talk about what's going on with all of their friends," he said. "You'll see a lot of college students who are playing racquetball in the evenings. In fact, I've had a few ladies email me and ask me when they're going to have a team."
Due to growing interest, a women's team will be formed this semester and will be competing in Fall 2012.

Guinea Get Your Gun
How I learned to love firearms.
I pressed the Beretta AL391 Urika deep into my shoulder and against my cheek, as if gripping a shotgun stock were as natural as holding the strap of my purse. I said, "Pull," in a firm yet casual way, to convey that, sure I drove here in a Volvo, and the radio in the Volvo is tuned to NPR, but I'm actually the kind of woman who loves the smell of cordite in my hair. Two weeks ago I was so ignorant about firearms that I thought shotguns discharged bullets and I didn't know the difference between a revolver and a semiautomatic. But here I was shooting trap, in which clay disks, the moving target simulating a bird in flight, are released at unpredictable angles from a small trap house. As the "pigeon" flew on my command, I swung the shotgun to follow its arc and pulled the trigger. My instructor called out, "Oh, yeah!"
"What happened?" I asked.
"You hit it," he said.
"I did?" I replied
I called "pull" again and fired. Even I could see this orange disk disintegrate. "Pull," pow! "Pull," pow! My excellent instructor, Ricardo Royal, is a large man, but was surprisingly light on his feet as he did a little dance next to me and sang out, "Annie Oakley, Annie Oakley." I took turns with my fellow student, a middle-aged man who consistently missed and who now looked as if he'd be happy to forget about the target and blast me instead. (It was a look I have provoked in many other people, who fortunately were unarmed.)
In Human Guinea Pig I engage in unusual activities and hobbies. This time I wanted to see if a novice—a nervous novice—could in a few lessons learn how to be a decent shot. I do understand that there is nothing unusual about owning firearms. Surveys show almost half of American households have them. But I live in the District of Columbia, which has one of the nation's toughest gun laws. Residents are not allowed to own handguns, and if one of us feels a need to discharge a weapon, we are supposed to file a request with the chief of police asking for permission. (He must spend all his time answering yes, as D.C. has one of the country's highest murder rates.)
So anathema are guns among my friends that when one learned I was doing this piece, he opened his wallet, silently pulled out an NRA membership card, then (after I recovered from the sight) asked me not to spread it around lest his son be kicked out of nursery school. My entire experience with guns consisted of a riflery class at summer camp back when Millard Fillmore was president, and an afternoon 20 years ago shooting at tin cans with a friend.
It was not easy finding an instructor willing to take on a reporter who lived in the District. Looking for help, I called Gary Mehalik, director of communications of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, who offered to get me a setup in which a laser is inserted into a pistol, which I could then shoot into a specially equipped laptop computer that would track my accuracy. I worried that at the end of a day of typing on my computer, I would become addicted to shooting it—a journalist's version of Elvis blasting his television when he saw performers he didn't like. Then Mehalik realized he couldn't send me the laser-equipped pistol: "As a D.C. resident, you of course are not allowed to use a firearm."
I located Ricardo Royal from his listing on the NRA Web site. He is an African-American, a D.C. native, and a retired paramedic who learned to shoot as a teenager through a local marksmanship club. He's frustrated that such sporting clubs have been replaced in his city by a culture that glamorizes guns as illegal weapons. (At our first meeting, I realized how difficult it would be to separate guns from politics when Ricardo tried to enlist me to help lobby Congress to overturn D.C.'s gun law.)
Ricardo had me watch a short film as part of my gun-safety training, and in it the narrator explained that guns are simply machines. Machines can't hurt you, he said; the danger lies in the person operating the machine. OK, I thought, but if I am inept in the handling of my blow-dryer, I am unlikely to vaporize anyone's kidney. As he went through his safety lectures, Ricardo emphasized which firearms would be best for my "personal protection," even though as a District resident this was virtually out of the question, and even though I assured him that no one was after me. Undeterred, his top recommendation was a pump-action shotgun. "Nothing else makes that sound," he said, and even I could conjure up that ka-chung. "Hearing that sound alone can negate the need to fire. It makes such a sweet song."
Ricardo met me across the border in Maryland, at the Prince George's County Trap and Skeet Center, where he rented a shotgun for me. The plan was to shoot one box of ammunition (25 shells). I hoped I would avoid utter humiliation and hit one target, if just by accident. As we stood in the dusk, the quiet interrupted by the pop-pop-pop of gunfire from the neighboring stations, making me think how lucky I was that it wasn't the sound of insurgents, a family of deer emerged to calmly regard us. I read in their look the knowledge that the lady with the Volvo was no threat.
The ammo itself made me uneasy, as if it could explode on contact, and I fumbled as I tried to load the shotgun. The first few shots didn't go well. I could hear my blood pumping in my ears, and I realized that when you close both eyes as you pull the trigger, your clay target will fall to the ground intact. I slowed my breath, forced myself to keep one eye opened, and miraculously hit the thing. In the end I blasted 11 out of 25. Ricardo was thrilled and so was I. I felt even better about myself when, after I made Ricardo shoot a box of ammo, he hit only two more targets than I did.
It's not unusual for a woman to quickly shoot well, he said. "She tends to listen to detail more precisely, and she has no preconceived notion she knows what to do."
Before I slinked back to my now-embarrassing Volvo, I stopped to watch two men shooting. They were fast and fluid and the targets shattered one after another. I am happily married, but I found myself thinking these two—whose faces I couldn't even make out—were awfully attractive. It brought to mind a newspaper article from a few years back. After the death of Hugh Culverhouse Sr., the owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his various entanglements caused his widow to sue his estate. During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Culverhouse had an affair with the wife of a now-deceased television anchor. Culverhouse's son testified that the caretaker of his father's ranch told him that the caretaker would escort the anchor's wife and Culverhouse "into the woods and they would shoot guns and basically have sex." I thought the article was hilarious at the time. Now I understood.
After my trap-shooting triumph with the shotgun, Ricardo was going to teach me to shoot pistols. They terrified me. I recalled Woody Allen as an inept bank robber in Take the Money and Run, handing the teller a note that read, "I have a gub." I thought the world would be safer if I stuck to gubs. But in the classroom, as I gripped the unloaded .38-caliber Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver, scenes from Clint Eastwood movies rushed through my head. I forced myself not so say, "Go ahead, make my day." The human hand feels like it was designed to handle a pistol. It feels as natural as a shot glass or a cigarette, and I suddenly understood why we have a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (or the Bureau of Things You Like To Fool With That Can Be Bad).
A few days later I met Ricardo at the pistol range at the bucolic Izaak Walton League in Damascus, Md. Along to record the event was Dianna Douglas, a producer from NPR. I had asked her if she had any experience with guns, thinking she might want to do some shooting. "No, no, no, no, no," she replied with a laugh. "I'm not going to want to shoot any guns. No, no, no, no, no."
I stepped up to the line and looked at the target—a paper plate with a 3-inch black bull's-eye—Ricardo had stapled to a pole 21 feet away. A few days before I had taken a yoga class, and during the breathing I envisioned myself aligning the gun's front and back sights and slowly squeezing the trigger. Now I held the revolver, cocked the hammer, and shot. I hit the plate just southeast of dead center. Ricardo told me to keep going, and I start to punch a hole in the target. Maybe I could teach yoga at the NRA!
I switched to a Beretta 92FS 9 mm Parabellum semiautomatic and again I punched a decent hole. Ricardo then let me try his Sig Sauer P226 9 mm with the crimson trace laser-grip. With this gun, when you put your finger on the trigger a red laser dot illuminates your target. Ricardo had me load the magazine with 15 bullets. (From watching movies, I had thought magazines came already loaded, which I realized was like thinking candles came already lit.) After a few shots around the center of the plate, Ricardo told me to get in a faster rhythm, and I found myself hitting with greater accuracy. "Go ahead, paper plate, make my day."
After I emptied the semi, Dianna came up hesitantly. "Umm, how hard would it be for me to umm, shoot a few rounds?" she asked Ricardo. I said, "I told you so."
"Well, you look like such a badass doing it, I want to try," she explained.
Ricardo had me be Dianna's instructor on the revolver. After I explained the basic safety rules she timidly reached for the gun. "My hands are so cold," she said as she touched it.
"Happiness is a warm gun," I replied, aware that John Lennon, who wrote those lyrics, was gunned down by a madman. Dianna shot well.
My lessons were over, and Ricardo walked me to the parking lot to say goodbye. He handed me a piece of paper. It was from the NRA, a certificate saying I had successfully completed its basic pistol course. I got in my car and turned the key. The sounds of NPR came through the speaker. I felt confused. NPR or NRA? NPR or NRA? Then I thought of a line from another movie, Chinatown: "She's my sister! She's my daughter! My sister, my daughter. She's my sister and my daughter."

Got back on Dec 24th.....Depression!
Sometimes I am ready to go home after a trip but I was not ready to leave Japan. I wish I had more time. I am going to miss how clean everything was, how efficient public transport is, and how extremely helpful everyone is.
People seriously went out of their way to help me even when we couldn't understand each other verbally. It's a truly great country and I know I am blessed to say I was able to go there twice (and I do plan to go again one day).
Although I was still not able to see everything I wanted I was lucky to see a few more places this time: Instead of just Tokyo and Kyoto I also went to Otsu City, Kamakura, and Enoshima.
I'll post some pictures as soon as I can. Although I don't think my camera is a nice as Malkuth's.

However good the camera is, it still can not capture how magnificent some places look in real life. I am saying this based on comparing mine with a friend's photos, who used a semi-pro camera. Drawings would be better, but unfortunately they take too much time, and are capturing a more personal impression.
Photos for me, are just an aid to remember certain events and places, and can help others to understand what I am taking about. There is no way though to capture the whole experience... size/scale, perspective, smell, lightning, color depth, feelings, and many more are beyond the grasp of modern tech...
Anyway, off to the train station
PS@Kirarakim: Did you eventually find animate in Ikebukuro?

I actually have a better camera than Malkuth. But it's my first digital camera so I don't know how the pictures will look once they are off the camera and on the computer.
I caught a cold on the plane home so I haven't had a chance to go through my pics yet.
As for nighttime pics my friend took some so when he shares with me maybe I will post some here.
And Malkuth I did find the animate. Someone showed me the way though so it wasn't by my own skill.

So, related to the comments made previously.. it's snowing here in Eastern Canada but thick walls and heat do a decent job. My friend living in Shizuoka is freezing her tiny little butt off cause of the thin walls and lack of heating at her apartment..
That said, it's not like she was caught unprepared, she's been there for three years but is just one of the things she dislikes..

Yeah, traditional Japanese homes rely mainly on kerosene heaters.
In the end I just slept with no heating. Yutanpo under the futon plus thick traditional winter robe means it actually became quite warm

Back to more interesting stuff, Oedo Onsen Monogatari was amazing, and today Kamakura perfect (I wish days were longer to visit more temples and shrines, as well as go hiking on the eastern side; not to mention warmer to swim):
Album from the two western hiking trails, which are quite easy (all things considered)... one hour each, without any hard climbs. The thumbnail is the view of mount Fuji from the mountaintop of Kenchou temple.
Kōtoku-in(高徳院) home of the second largest Buddha statue
Zeniarai-Benten(銭洗い弁天) wash your money here, and after spending them expect to get it back in multiple amounts... or so they believe
Jōchi-ji(金宝山浄智寺) cute little temple and cemetary devoted to the god of happiness (Hotei, which I misread as hotel, and almost skipped it)
Tōkei-ji(東慶寺) monastery for the abused women in the middle ages, which Europe had none
Engaku-ji(円覚寺) houses the souls of those who fought the Mongols in the 13th c. and has some national treasures, which are uninteresting, compared to the temple complex itsel, IMHO
Kenchō-ji(建長寺) the most beautiful temple complex I have visited thus far, with its peak offering a wonderful view of the whole city, and Fuji-san
Unfortunately, dusk was faster than our feet, so the eastern side of the city, seashore and Enoshima, will have to wait for some weeks
TODO: Ise, Nagoya, Inuyama, Gifu, Matsumoto
That said, if she is living in a traditional room with a lot of space and/or high ceiling (unlikely in cities, since they are crazy expensive) and is not aware how to stay warm, I see that happening

Thought I would upload a couple pictures of one of my favorite meals in Japan. This was at Hase-dera Temple in Kamakura. A beautiful Buddhist temple over Kamakura bay. Anyways I stopped at the temple restaurant and had Powdered Matcha which came with a little biscuit & sweetened potatoes..amazing.
This was my second favorite meal in Japan. My first was at Fushimi Inari Nishin Soba (Herring Soba) which I can only describe as wow. Sadly I didn't think to take a picture of it.
People always say Japan is expensive but I found meals at temples/shrines to be extremely reasonable and godly tasting.
Spoiler for Food:
The temple was really beautiful (although in my rush to get to Enoshima I think I missed the important statue that was at this temple). The only other thing I saw at Kamakura was the Great Buddha which was amazing but there have been other recent pictures of that so I won't re-post.
Spoiler for Temple Images:
edit: Also my camera re-sized all but my first couple pictures to 640X480. I have no idea how this happened (must have pressed something without realizing) but does this mean I can't get them back to higher quality? I mean this is convenient for posting on web but I thought larger pictures were better right?
edit: I have so many places to post pictures so here are more food pictures (although the first two are repeats from above)

30 temples and shrines, 9 gardens and parks, 6 castles, 2 imperial palaces and comiket... not bad for the first 30 days, though I have missed a lot.
Some trivial stuff I skipped mentioning:
Well, this is more like living in Japan, then visiting (since I decided to try and stay here), but I guess the list could help most visitors too

My plan was to stay here for 3 months, then 1-2 months to S. Korea and NE China, then back here for 2 more months, and I added 1 month to Philippines because a very good friend of mine is moving there permanently.
Ageha is a very popular dance club meat market, that someone tricked me into going, and then complained because he didn't score

"Karnal bunt is not a major production or quality problem," says Travis Miller, Texas Extension program leader for soil and crop sciences. "It is a major problem in selling wheat. Trading partners have quarantines against Karnal bunt infected wheat, and 80 percent of the Texas wheat crop goes out of ports (for export)."
Current infections in Throckmorton, Young, Archer and Baylor counties have cost Texas wheat farmers more than $27 million. "They can't sell their wheat," Miller said. More than 2.4 million bushels of wheat have been infected in those four counties.
Miller, during a grains seminar at the recent Blackland Income Growth Conference in Waco, said the disease spores could be widespread across Texas, "waiting for the right conditions. It's probably been in the state at least 10 years, but last spring we had perfect weather for infection."
Infection is not easy, Miller said. "The organism lies dormant until cool, wet weather stimulates germination. Spores, which may come in on seed, soil, plant parts, machinery or animal manure, may survive in the soil for five years and then break out.
"Spores enter the wheat plant ovary and mature as the seed matures. Infection occurs only during bloom," Miller said.
The disease causes more problems than are warranted.
"We have a number of other bunts and smuts that cause more damage to production and quality than this one does," Miller said. A telltale "fishy" smell makes infected wheat unmarketable.
The disease was first discovered in the Karnal region of India in 1931. From there it spread across India and Pakistan. It was identified in Mexico in 1970. The first incidence in the United States occurred in Arizona on Durum wheat in 1996. It was first detected in Texas in San Saba County in 1997 and no incidence was reported in the state from 1997 until 2001.
Wheat farmers' best option is prevention, Miller said. The county quarantines are designed to contain the disease. In quarantined counties, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) imposes regulations on seed handling, grain handling, livestock feeding and equipment movement.
"Farmers may feed Karnal bunt infected wheat to livestock," Miller said, "but the animals must be quarantined and fed oats or some other non-susceptible grain for five days prior to movement."
Farmers in quarantined areas also must plant only spore negative, treated seed. Grain handlers must have seed tested and certified before moving it anywhere. "But buyers may still be reluctant to purchase from quarantined areas," Miller said.
Some infected wheat has been disposed of in landfills.
"It's also possible to treat infected grain with a steam process and then feed to livestock."
Miller recommends growers exercise caution in buying planting seed. "Know where it comes from and make certain it's high quality. Use a systemic seed treatment at the upper end of labeled rates, and good coverage is critical." Seed treatments include Vitavax and PCNB. "This is not a stand-alone practice to control the problem," Miller said. Foliar fungicides also may hold promise for in-season treatment.
Cleaning equipment provides another important safeguard. "Equipment carries soil and plant parts from an infected field into a clean one," Miler said. "High temperatures and chlorine bleach can sterilize Karnal bunt."
The best option may be a few years away. "Overall, the best control strategy will be resistant varieties,' Miller said. "Currently, we have no resistance in Texas, although several crosses with resistance have been identified. Currently, we have no real test sites in the Southwest. A Karnal bunt working group has begun to seek research funds to study the problem."

Jets top Coyotes in Maurice's debutby Patrick Williams
WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Jets won in Paul Maurice's debut behind their bench Monday night.
One day after the Jets fired coach Claude Noel and replaced him with Maurice, Winnipeg turned in a 5-1 win against the Phoenix Coyotes at MTS Centre.
Maurice arrived in Winnipeg late Sunday night, met with his new players briefly before the team's morning skate, and coached his first NHL game since November 2011 when he was fired by the Carolina Hurricanes.
The win ended the Jets' five-game losing streak, which matched the franchise's longest such streak since the move from Atlanta to Winnipeg for the 2011-12 season.
"They wanted to get out of this," Maurice said of his new team's slump. "They wanted to make it better."
The Jets, who had not won since Dec. 31, built a 3-1 lead in the second period and limited the Coyotes to 12 shots after the first intermission and a season-low 19 for the game.
"It's nice to get a win and get some excitement back in this room," Jets captain Andrew Ladd.
The Coyotes' problems continued after a recently completed 2-4-0 homestand. A 3-7-4 slide dating back to Dec. 14 has pushed the Coyotes out of a spot for the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the Western Conference standings. The Coyotes trail the Minnesota Wild by four points for the nearest available playoff spot, though Phoenix has played three fewer games than Minnesota.
"We've got some of the same players making the same mistakes," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "They're really good players for us, so we're going to have to deal with that."
A road game against the St. Louis Blues awaits Phoenix on Tuesday.
"It's desperation time," Coyotes forward David Moss said. "That's all there is to it. [Tuesday] we had better be as desperate as we have ever been."
Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored the Coyotes' only goal at 12:16 of the first period to give Phoenix a 1-0 lead. It was the young defenseman's fifth goal and his first in 23 games.
Jets center Olli Jokinen countered with his 12th goal 36 seconds later. Rookie Eric O'Dell, who scored his first NHL goal Saturday after going his first seven NHL games without a goal, snapped in his second goal of the season to send the Jets to their dressing room with a 2-1 lead after one.
Blake Wheeler scored his team-leading 17th goal at 8:49 of the second period to add to the Jets' lead. Michael Frolik scored his 10th goal at 4:18 of the third to snap a 10-game goalless streak, then Devin Setoguchi broke his 18-game goalless streak with his eighth goal to make it 5-1.
Setoguchi's goal was the Jets' only conversion with the man advantage Monday (1-for-8).
Mike Smith, who has been struggling for the Coyotes, returned in net and made 33 saves. Smith has not won in eight appearances since Dec. 21 and has allowed 12 goals in his past three starts. Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec stopped 18 Phoenix shots.
The Coyotes went to work on their first power play of the game with Winnipeg's Mark Stuart off for holding Rob Klinkhammer's stick. After heavy pressure in front of the Winnipeg net that left Pavelec out of position, Ekman-Larsson raced to a puck sitting in the high slot and snapped it past Pavelec.
The Coyotes found themselves in early penalty trouble, committing four penalties in the first period.
"You've got a team that just changed their coach, and we come out and take four minors in the first period," Tippett said. "That pretty much shows our commitment to winning. We just kept making mistakes, and they capitalized on them."
Jokinen scored at even strength after Dustin Byfuglien's heavy forecheck forced a turnover behind the Phoenix net. Jokinen received the puck at the bottom of the slot and slid it past Smith to tie the game.
"They did the one thing that we had talked about," Maurice said. "When adversity came to the doorstep, that next goal was huge. The bench didn't get quiet; we stayed positive, and that's the start of the foundation of handling adversity over the course of the game and sticking with it. It was really, really important that we scored that goal to make it 1-1, so they didn't back down."
O'Dell scored a little more than five minutes later when he walked into the high slot and snapped a low shot past Smith to put the Jets ahead to stay.
Wheeler moved the score to 3-1 midway through the second period when he swept the rebound of Mark Scheifele's right-side shot past Smith. Frolik scored on a left-circle snap shot, and Setoguchi completed the scoring at 9:34, drilling a right-circle one-timer past Smith.
Pavelec admitted that the quick transition to a new coach made for a nervous time leading up to the game.
"I think we responded really well," Pavelec said. "Everyone was excited. I was a little nervous, that's for sure. I didn't know what to expect, but I think the whole team was focused, and everyone did a really good job."
Maurice is still adjusting to his new team, and he left Noel's system in place against the Coyotes. Although he saw reasons for encouragement, there's still a lot of work to be done, especially inside the defensive zone.
Frustration continues to build inside the Coyotes' dressing room. As Tippett did, captain Shane Doan pointed to his team's first-period penalty problems against a team with a new coach and trying to find its footing.
"It seems we find new ways every time," Doan said. "We hadn't really had an issue with discipline so far this year with penalties. You can't create much offense when you're shorthanded, and you give them opportunities to feel good about themselves. Everyone on their team was going to bring their A games because they were trying to prove themselves."
"You have a group of guys there who are pretty skilled and that are probably frustrated with how their years have gone," Doan added. "When they got an opportunity to prove themselves, they did everything they could to make it look good, and they did."
Tippett spread around criticism of his team's play.
"It's going to take a lot," Tippett said. "Our goaltending has to be better. Our top players have to be better. Our [defense] can be better, special teams. We can be better all the way through. It's as simple as that."

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Snyder says a bill that would allow people to carry concealed weapons in schools and churches will be carefully reviewed before he decides whether to make it law.
The House gave final approval Friday to legislation that says someone who gets extra training could be allowed to have a concealed weapon in a gun-free zone.
Spokeswoman Sara Wurfel says the governor believes mass shootings like the one Friday that left 26 people -- including 20 children -- dead at a Connecticut elementary school "must and should give pause."
But Wurfel says Snyder doesn't want to jump to conclusions.
The bill would allow schools to opt out. It also would put county sheriffs in charge of concealed-weapons applications instead of local boards.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Gold futures fell Tuesday for a fourth session in a row to log their lowest settlement since mid-August, as a climb in U.S. equities helped draw investors away from the precious metal.
Prices have now tallied a four-session loss of more than $45 an ounce pressured, in part, by a lack of demand from China, which celebrated the Lunar New Year last week and uncertainty over the so-called global currency wars. Read: How gold will benefit from a currency war.
Gold for delivery in April US:GCJ3 fell $5.30, or 0.3%, to settle at $1,604.20 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, holding above $1,600 throughout the trading session.
The settlement was the lowest for a most-active gold futures contract since Aug. 14, according to FactSet data. Prices lost $26 on Friday, and U.S. markets were closed for Presidents Day on Monday.
"Investors continue to buy racier assets such [as] equities rather than gold and silver," said Fawad Razaqzada, technical analyst at GFT Markets, in a note.
Silver for delivery in March US:SIH3 shed 43 cents, or 1.4%, to end at $29.42 an ounce.
U.S. stocks rose on Wall Street, buoyed by hopes for more deal activity. See: U.S. stocks climb, anticipating M&A activity.
European equities also climbed following stronger-than-expected German investor-sentiment data. See: Europe stocks rally as German ZEW index posts rise.
It's "too early to be highly bearish on gold," said Chintan Karnani, an independent bullion analyst based in New Delhi, but Comex gold is "looking marginally bearish and can fall to $1,592 as long as it trades below $1,615."
Prices saw little reaction to data Tuesday showing a fall in U.S. home-builder confidence for February. The market will likely look to data Wednesday on the producer price index and the release of minutes from the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee Jan. 30 meeting. See: Home-builder confidence declines in February.
Data on consumer prices and existing-home sales are due Thursday. See: U.S. economic calendar.
Price pullback
Discussing last week's gold weakness, strategists at Commerzbank said "investors on the futures market are likely to be largely to blame, speculative financial investors having slashed their net long positions by 15% to 66.6 thousand contracts in the week to Feb. 12."
That marked the lowest level in seven months, the strategists said.
Among exchange-traded funds, shares in the SPDR Gold Trust GLD, +0.36% was down 0.3% Tuesday afternoon, after a loss of 3.6% last week. See Gold: time to get worried? Or greedy?
But the return of Chinese investors from a weeklong holiday for the Lunar New Year may offer some support to gold. See: Could China ride to gold's rescue this week?
Around the wider metals complex, March copper HGH3, +0.00% fell nearly 9 cents, or 2.3%, to $3.65 a pound.
Platinum and palladium, meanwhile, recouped some of their sharp losses from Friday.
Palladium for March delivery US:PAH3 added $11, or 1.5%, to end at $764.15 an ounce, while April platinum US:PLJ3 rose $19.80, or 1.2%, to $1,697.50 an ounce.
The fundamentals for platinum-group metals "remain strong: mine disruptions in South Africa and Zimbabwe and dwindling state stockpiles in Russia have constrained supply while robust car sales in the U.S. and China are increasing demand for the metals," analysts at ETF Securities wrote in a weekly report dated Tuesday.
