Well, there's more good food news coming from the Obama Administration's team. Today, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack officially announced the kick-off of the "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food" Campaign from the USDA's People's Garden. As he says in this video http://www.youtube.com/usda , the campaign is designed to begin a national conversation to help develop local and regional food systems and spur economic opportunity.
Secretary Vilsack recorded a video to invite Americans to join the discussion and share their ideas for ways to support local agriculture.
"An American people that is more engaged with their food supply will create new income opportunities for American agriculture," said Vilsack. "Reconnecting consumers and institutions with local producers will stimulate economies in rural communities, improve access to healthy, nutritious food for our families, and decrease the amount of resources to transport our food."
And, they are putting their money where their mouths are; this week alone, USDA will announce approximately $65 million in funding for 'Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food' initiatives.
Urban farm, agriculture, and garden listings, events, pictures, stories, and musings from a city girl in love with farms and who wants to help preserve them.

These September 2004 Accident Reports are provided by the National Transportation Safety Board. Published as an educational tool, they are intended to help pilots learn from the misfortunes of others.
Aircraft: Maule MX-7-235.
Location: Greenville, Fla.
Injuries: None.
Aircraft damage: Substantial.
What reportedly happened: The purpose of the flight was to reposition the float-equipped airplane due to the approach of Hurricane Francis. The pilot visually checked the fuel tanks before the flight and noted the level in both was within three inches from the top.
When the flight was nearing its destination, the engine sputtered. The pilot maneuvered the airplane towards a nearby lake. He turned base and final for landing on the lake with 40° of flaps selected. The airplane cleared tall trees near the lake. The pilot pushed the yoke forward to descend, which caused the airplane to accelerate.
He landed on the water but did not have adequate room to decelerate and the left wing collided with a cypress tree. The pilot said the loss of engine power was due to fuel exhaustion. According to a mechanic who helped recover the airplane, both fuel tanks were drained and about 1.5 gallons of fuel were recovered. The mechanic further reported that the total unusable fuel capacity for each fuel tank is 1.5 gallons.
Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate in-flight planning and decision making, which resulted in fuel exhaustion.
Aircraft: Cessna 152.
Location: Waycross, Ga.
Injuries: None.
Aircraft damage: Substantial.
What reportedly happened: The pilot was attempting to land on a 3,000 x 200-foot sod runway. Because of tall trees on the approach end of the runway, he established a steeper than normal approach, resulting in a faster than normal approach speed. The airplane touched down about 500 feet beyond the approach end of the runway. After landing, he applied the brakes but the airplane did not stop. It hydroplaned down the runway, running off the end, colliding with a fence, and coming to rest on a highway. The pilot said he wasn't aware the sod was wet until he couldn't stop.
Probable cause: The pilot's misjudging of the approach speed, and the hydroplaning of the airplane during the landing roll, resulting in an overrun of the runway and the subsequent collision with a fence.
Aircraft: Fairchild M-62A-3.
Location: Corsicana, Texas.
Injuries: 2 Fatal.
Aircraft damage: Destroyed.
What reportedly happened: Several people at the airport reported that the pilot had been tinkering with the airplane's engine prior to takeoff. A can of solvent and sparkplug cleaner were found next to the pilot's workbench in his hangar the day of the accident. A witness observed the vintage airplane in level flight shortly after it took off. Moments later it dove into the ground. Examination of the carburetor revealed the lower piece of the two piece venturi was dislodged and cocked to one side. The legs of the lower piece were fractured and displayed evidence of carbon. The gasket between the upper and lower body of the carburetor was imploded in two locations. Excessive soot and blackening was observed in the carburetor throat.
Probable cause: The loss of engine power due to a faulty carburetor and the pilot's failure to maintain airspeed sufficient for flight resulting in an inadvertent stall/spin during the forced landing after takeoff.
Aircraft: Mooney M20D.
Location: Pagosa Springs, Colo.
Injuries: 1 Fatal.
Aircraft damage: Destroyed.
What reportedly happened: Part of the runway was undergoing repairs, so the full length was not available for use. The useable runway was rough and uneven. The pilot, accompanied by his wife, made several attempts to take off but aborted each one. Airport personnel said that when the pilot came into the office, he appeared thoroughly shaken by the experience. It was a hot day and he told them that he had forgotten how to compute density altitude. When asked to produce the aircraft's operating limitations and weight and balance documents, the pilot couldn't find them. He told a mechanic that there was a shimmy in the nose wheel steering. The mechanic investigated and told the pilot that the steering linkage was missing and the nose gear assembly was severely worn and repairs would have to be made. The pilot left the airplane for repairs and made arrangements with a local CFI to ferry the aircraft to his home, which was several hours away by car, after repairs had been made. Delivery was postponed on three different occasions over a period of two months when more mechanical problems were discovered. Among the issues that had to be addressed were a leaking fuel tank, faulty VOR receivers, an improperly installed magnetic compass, an airspeed indicator twisted sideways in the panel and severely cracked and worn O-rings in the fuel tanks. The day of the ferry flight the battery required charging, and the airplane required a jump-start. The ferry pilot stated there were several 9-volt and AA batteries on the rear floor and in the door pockets. The flight instructor initiated the run up, then noted that the radios had stopped working. The CFI called the owner and told him the flight would not happen. The owner became upset and asked why the instructor could not make the flight using a handheld radio. The instructor pilot repeated that he would not make the flight.
The owner then rented a car to drive to the airport to ferry the aircraft home himself. The owner/pilot did not use all available runway for the takeoff roll. During the takeoff roll, the airplane departed the left side of the runway and skipped across the ground before striking a 600-pound concrete block and flipping onto its back and exploding into flames.
Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate preflight planning and his failure to maintain directional control.
Aircraft: Air Tractor AT-401B.
Location: Bainbridge, Ga.
Injuries: 1 Fatal.
Aircraft damage: Destroyed.
What reportedly happened: The pilot was returning from his last aerial application for the day. A witness saw the airplane flying on a heading of north at an altitude of 800 feet agl. The airplane then descended to 500 feet agl. The nose of the airplane pitched up 45° and aircraft rolled inverted, then hit the ground nose-first.
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during an abrupt maneuver, which resulted in a stall and collision with the ground.

Hey i am new to c plus plus, and really need some help!
Basically i have information, in a file, first name, second name and idnumber stored in a struct for a number of people as such:
struct person {
char idnumber [numbersize];
char firstname [namesize];
char secondname [namesize];
And i need to be able to sort it according to either first name, second name or in ascending idnumber using a quick sort. Is it possible to write a general function and use pointers to assign the relevant piece of information to sort by e.g first name etc?. Then, is it possible to call the function and print the sorted list?
If someone could show me how to do this or offer some helpful code or some hints it would be greatly appreciated.

It was more like an Adam and Eve scenario. Also, I thought, I...AM NOT...A MACHINE!, somethin like that. Funny hearing that from Higurashi's Rena's seiyu huh? Most fanboys would respond yes to that in a heartbeat. Also, regarding Mest, SOMEONE SOUND THE PEDOBEAR ALARM! *pulls lever* JAILBAIT! JAILBAIT! JAILBAIT!

Its great how the animated this episode, Mest's weirdness is epic as usual, but Wendy's weakness is plums? of all things.
Now the exam would truly be complete if we can see Mystogan in action again, but sadly that won't happen.

Wendy & Mest vs Grey & Loke! Nice fight. Poor Wendy.
Evergreen & Elfman vs Mirajane! Wow! She's strong.
There's something off about Mest, like he just came into existence. Wonder who's behind it.
Well, first round is over! Awesome ^^
Second round was pretty LOL as well as interesting.
Wow! The newcomer sure is a deadly one, but he seems to know Natsu well.
Great episode!!

I just love how Evergreen and Elfman got through Mira, I can only imagine her totally shocked expression
Mira's imagination... poor her. Liked how Erza got all hyped up by possible wedding.
Mest is a weird one but I like him. But looks like isn't an actual member... brain washing?
Poor Gray, so many suprises
As a 100th episode, it has delivered well^^

I'm super eager to see this arc's rogues gallery in action, since it seems we'll at least get introduced to them next episode. Judging solely from the opening, it seems Ultear will be coming into play, which also means her boss should finally be stepping out of the shadows after about a year since his introduction in the anime.

Evergreen and Elfman hmmmm i actually see how they could be interesting couple yet very dysfunctional lol
Poor Wendy what horrible way to loose a fight. However she is getting stronger and stronger. When we first saw her she couldnt use any offensive magic but now she ROAR at the snap of finger. She will get there as she gets older she will most def become one of the strongest in Fairy Tail in the next generation of wizards.
Gildarts is nothing short of a monster. However, it was nice to see Natsu learned something and figured what he was missing. The point of the test was not to actually beat your S-Class wizards i figured that out when master announced how it would work. I felt bad for Juvia and Lissana but as Ezra pointed out there are still lacking which is why they got beaten to an inch of their lives, she could have passed Juvia like Gildarts passed Natsu if she had shown she had recognized what her weakness is. Juvia is most def one of the strongest in the guild and does possess S-class type magic. But when you nullify her magic attacks she panics and just tries the same magic over.
Im loving the new OP btw why do i have the feeling that the so called bad guys we see in the opening are the ones that guard Fairy Tails first master tomb and they look insanely strong.

OK .. here's a simple sig with the BG are made with filters .. Once you are done you get something like this ...
. This was done with *nearly* similar technique ..
I'll be using this particular image to start with
make a new sig document .. mine would be 375 x 120 .. copy your image to the new document and resize them
Duplicate the image and bring the original on top and hide it (click the eye next to the layer in the layer window)
Now go to filter->blur->motion blur .. Select angle as 45 and distance as you feel like it ... Duplicate the layer and move them around so the cover the whole document ... Now, merge all visible layer (Ctrl+Shift+E) .
Go to filter->brush strokes->accented edges and play with the option a bit and you get something like this
Unhide the original image and duplicate it .. move the original on top and then click on the duplicate layer in the layer window . you be smudging the duplicate NOT the original ... the smudge tool is here
Select a good brush size then smudge the layer outward .. moving from the image to away from it ... urm ... would you understand it with picture instead?
Nearly done .. duplicate the original image once again. on duplicate layer go to filter->blur->gaussian blur. Select a low radius [ 0.8 - 1.5] work best ... then the layer blending mode set to softlight
And all that left is a border and your name ... Final result different fdrom the top one eh? Why you might asked? Because I use the accented edge filter in step (4) .. see the different? You can change one filter there and get a very different result
So there .. a simple BG using filters and smudge tool.. Dont be afraid to experiment with different filter.. you might have a very beautiful combination.
As always... I made no attempt to protect this tutorial from thief .. but dont let me caught you promoting this tutorial on other site as your own .. Shame on you if you steal this one .. Hope you understand this one ^-^ ..Ask away if you wish

Hey there! I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get a photoshop tutorial for the "3-D" tool in the effects column of Illustrator(I dont know if it exist before CS). I need a tutorial that tells me how to use that specific tool but everything I have found only tells me how to create that look using other ways. Thanks

Alright guys, here you go:
Yuiichi's Brush Background Tutorial:
Made with: Photoshop
For now, I won't include any pictures. I might update in a few hours with some
What you want to start off with is: An image without a background and a canvas big enough for your background.
Note: my sigs are usually 370x160, just to give you a background size idea.
To get your image to have no background, refer to this or this tutorial by KiNa and Dragonwingz.
Reminder: Before you start, make sure that you have 3 layers: one for the background, one for brushing, and one for the character.
EDIT! KiNa reminded me! You should have 3 layers. For the background, you probably want a colour that matches your character (such as a midtone hair colour). The brushing layer goes on top of this one and blends nicely if you use the hair colours.
What I do first is select the Brush tool, and then select the brush I want from the drop down menu. The brush I choose is going to also be part of the brush set I will use for the entire sig. For colour, select the lightest colour in the characters hair. In sigs, hair is usually one thing that always is there, so you'll never have problems with colour scheme.
Now, just experiment with those brushes! Go wild! BUT, don't over do it yet.
Once you are satisfied with your result from that colour and brush, try out another brush with that colour. If the background seems a bit boring, never fear! Get a new colour (a darker one from the characters hair) and give it a whir.
My key is: never use too much of one colour and brush. It's usually one or two clicks per brush with one colour, and then I either switch brushes or colours.
Thats all there is to it! For more varried results, try different brush sets together - sometimes you'll come up with nice results!
Experiment. Thats what brushing is all about!

MFPLAs at Good Food Day LA
The day dawned grey and drizzly but the intrepid UCCE/LA County Master Food Preservers were raring to go. The "concluding events" of City of LA Mayor's Day of Service – this year scheduled all across the city on Cesar Chavez Day (March 31) and dedicated to the theme of Good Food for All – took place in a lively corner of the urban jungle at the edge of Chinatown, at Metabolic Studios, an arts/eco experimental collective, which organized the "Cornfield" we've all heard so much about.
Next to the train tracks and under a concrete bridge, chairs, tables and canopies were set up for non-profit organizations involved in food issues to distribute materials and talk to interested members of the public about their missions.
And just below the neon sign on the wall that reads "Another City is Possible," the Master Food Preservers (MFP) and Master Gardeners (MG) set up tables with volunteers, books, informational handouts and – in the case of the MFPs – demonstrations on how to make kimchi, preserved lemons and refrigerator pickles.
A handful of MFPs were preliminary judges of the "Cabbage Contest," which is in season now. Beginning at 9 am, entries in three categories – fresh, cooked and fermented – were delivered by members of the general public – AND three of our Master Food Preservers, too!!
MFP/MG Susan Nickels submitted a slaw – and made it into the finals. As did MFP/MG Rachael Narins, whose Thomas Starr King Middle School students not only made but grew the ingredients for their kimchi submission.
Of course, those choices of finalists (REALLY!) had nothing to do with the MFPs – dishes were numbered and anonymous on the table and judged on the merits of taste, appearance and creativity.
The final six choices (two in each category) were delivered to the panel of celebrity judges, who sat at a table on a "stage" and made the final call. They included Eric Oberholtzer of Tender Greens, Josiah Citron of Melisse, Pulitzer Prize winning food writer Jonathan Gold, farmers Phil McGrath and James Birch and mayoral candidate Eric Garcetti.
Susan's coleslaw (secret ingredient, Preserved Lemons), the one on top in the photo, sits at the final judging station alongside winner Jennifer Mandel's cabbage, kale and carrot salad. In the case of Rachael's students, it was literally a toss-up – there was equal praise for both final dishes, and a coin toss settled the winner. (Photo courtesy Susan).
The prize was likely not appropriate for the kids anyway: a dinner for two at Citron's very posh Melisse restaurant in Santa Monica; but a consolation prize came with it. Once Eric Garcetti heard the story that the kids grew their own ingredients, he promised to come visit and congratulate the students in person at their Silverlake school, which is in his neighborhood.
But much attention was paid to the demos at the MFP table. Hae Jung Cho is a professional cook and an expert kimchi maker – she showed us her ingredients and techniques and proved how very easy it is to make kimchi, and how healthful its fermented properties are.
Then Amy Goldman and Roshni Divate demonstrated one of the key ingredients in Moroccan and Middle Eastern cooking – preserved lemons. There's no surfeit of lemons in California, so get past the "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade" mantra and learn this simple salting, squeezing and spicing technique. Preserved lemons are a secret ingredient that chefs use for many different dishes, from pesto to salad dressings and more.
And finally MFP/MG Laurie Dill and Karen Hobert showed us how simple it is to create original, delicious refrigerator pickles, with a spiced brine and fresh cucumbers, which are showing up now at Farmers Markets. Grow your own, and "when life hands you extra cukes," make pickles!

In November 2008, Cedric made his Broadway debut in David Mamet's masterpiece "American Buffalo"...His performance was singled out for critical praise.
Cedric's universal appeal, versatility, and tremendous career successes spanning television, live performances, and film have solidified his standing as one of the premiere entertainers in the world.

He plans to extend the foundation nationally. (Cedric has awarded over 100 scholarships and countless incentives through his foundation).

This month the nation marked the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, which legalized abortion in the United States. The landmark decision provided a legal option to women facing an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy.
This month the nation marked the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, which legalized abortion in the United States. The landmark decision provided a legal option to women facing an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy.
Abortion remains anathema to many, including to some of the women who use it themselves as a last-ditch response to a crisis pregnancy. But keeping it safe and legal gives women the ultimate say in their own reproductive lives.
It's all too easy for abortion foes to say "Just say no" to sex or "It's God's will." Birth control methods sometimes fail. Many women can't afford them. Some women are raped; children can be victims of incest or predatory older men. For some of these women and girls, abortion is the only answer to moving forward with their lives.
Reproductive freedom is fundamental to women's ability to participate fully as citizens. Women who can plan their families are better able to contribute to a healthy and active society. One look at societies where women have few rights provides ample evidence of the direct link between women's empowerment and overall social progress.
Long before abortion was legal, desperate women went to perilous lengths to end a crisis pregnancy. Some women died in botched abortions.
The decision to keep or terminate a pregnancy is a deeply personal one that should not be subject to intervention by others, let alone government. No outsider can see into a woman's heart and fully understand her conflict and reasoning. Roe v. Wade made the procedure safe. Women no longer had to risk their health or even their lives when they felt compelled to end an unwanted pregnancy.
Women in crisis pregnancies have more options today, thanks to the work of many fine organizations that assist pregnant women. Crisis pregnancy centers, including Monroe County's own Shepherd's Maternity House, have sprung up for girls and women who need support during and after a pregnancy. Expanding the support network makes more sense than condemning women who choose abortion or making that decision more difficult.
Even so, some abortion foes oppose even sex education and contraception, which numerous studies have shown reduce the number of crisis pregnancies — and the number of abortions.
Ideally, all pregnancies would be welcome, all babies embraced by loving families. In the real world, mistakes happen. Birth control fails. Relationships turn sour, sometimes even abusive. Pregnancies for a wide variety of reasons or circumstances become unendurable for some women.
A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll indicates that for the first time a majority of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Seven of 10 respondents don't want to see Roe v. Wade overturned. Women deserve autonomy on their reproductive lives. Their decisions should be private and the procedure remain legal and safe.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate currently in production. Initial sales projections forecasted less than 100,000 devices for the first year. This mark was gone beyond in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but several changes were made at the conventional opening of the new design year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design below a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made adequate distinction to require designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has withstood with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Blue Earth MN are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the first time in vehicle history that the Big 3 were having to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller than the very first version but, due to the extra devices required to fulfill brand-new United States emission and security regulations, was heavier than the first design. Performance was decreased and in the first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Blue Earth MN were offered between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a 3rd time. This time it was based upon the larger Fox platform and the interior was truly big enough for four individuals. The trunk was bigger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles readily available included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang worked as an Indianapolis 500 pace automobile and Ford built 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Q. When PVC conduit is used, does the Code require an equipment grounding conductor between the meter enclosure and the service disconnect?
A. No, the neutral conductor can be used as the circuit equipment grounding conductor for metal parts of equipment, raceways, and enclosures at service equipment [250.92(B)(1), 250.142(A)(1), 352.60 Ex 2]. This is because the service neutral conductor provides the effective ground-fault current path to the power supply to ensure that dangerous voltage from a ground fault will be quickly removed by opening the overcurrent device [250.4(A)(3) and 250.4(A)(5)].

Why do the "good" die young?
I don't want to talk about his death. I want to talk about what I knew of his life.
Jorge had the ability to light up a room. He was friendly and charasmatic. He had a huge smile that made others feel great. Jorge understood respect. He was and is a credit to his beautiful family. Sometimes reading and writing were hard for Jorge but he always did his best in class. He worked hard and did his homework. Lately teaching has been hard for me and sometimes I would think about Jorge to get myself to go to work. He truly exemplified what a teacher seeks in a student.
Last Friday I found a card in my box. It was a hand painted card from Jorge. It says, "Thank you for helping me become a better reader." That card made my day. No, it made my year. I have Jorge's card on my bulletin board.
I will always remember Jorge as a bright patch in the center of a decaying school.
I walk away asking, "Why did it have to be this one?"

So sorry on your loss.
How wonderful that Jorge had given you such a gift that you can keep to look at and remind yourself why you teach.
I also have a special bulletin board where I keep special things that are important to me.

I'm sorry for your loss as well.
I believe in karma, and we die once we have learned the lessons we were meant to learn in this life. It's a belief that gives me comfort. I hope it gives you some, too.

I'm so glad you have that hand-made card, and that he had a chance to tell you how much he appreciated you.

Thanks for all the sweet thoughts. I'm feeling better today but it breaks my heart to think about his poor parents. My class made cards for them and I think we are going to send them to his memorial or at least send them either way.
I am really glad to have the card he made me to look and to remind me of him. He was such a great kid.

Nadja, what a wonderful tribute you've written and how terrible sad. I'm so sorry for your loss. You wrote of a wonderful kid there and I know it must be weighing in you heavily. ((Hugs))

Oh no...I am so sorry! what a tragic loss. I am glad he left a gift with you...his essence.

I think too about what this does to the other students. The whole thing is very difficult because a young person is involved. Makes it doubly sad.
I'm glad we saw you at Joan's chat room, and I hope maybe this cheered you up a bit.

I really have nothing more to add that hasn't already been said in the condolences here, except that I am thinking of you and sending a large "thought basket" to cradle in.

Re: How to Turn
Kevin Leavitt
For Soldiers, or really anyone on the street dealing with shoes and high friction surfaces, I emphasize actually moving, shifting center and pointing in the direction you need to go and lifting the foot placing it back down. I've seen too many injuries resulting from torsional loads on knees from pivoting on heels or balls of feet. Primarily moving your hips and shifting body weight correctly in the direction you want to go and leading from that area, then moving the foot not under load makes for safe movement and a stable platform.
^ This.
I keep telling people who train with me that the only place where they could glide their feet and perform big smooth taisabaki, moving and turning the way you see in aikido is, well, only while barefooted doing said aikido indoors in a nice smooth tatami. Outside, with shoes or in different terrain, it doesn't work as well. Certainly old battlefield-oriented kobudo, would have used more "stepping" and non-committed load while turning and moving. At least in the koryu I know of I have not seen mentioned turning from the balls of the feet or from the heel.
When I turn, say to deal with things happening at 90 or 180 degrees, I'm currently training to move from the center and move everything together while
the legs to place them where they should be to deal with incoming/outgoing force. I don't really think about turning on balls of feet or heel anymore, but if I were to guess I'd say the turning is happening more at the center of the foot as a natural extension of the whole leg, or, more likely the whole foot turns (the load is spread on the whole foot). It's less "elegant" when I do aikido as I don't slide my feet that much anymore (there's more lifting or "stepping"), but I also train a lot on wooden floors, concrete floors, smooth surfaces, sticky surfaces, outside on lawn and dirt, and with shoes, so I had to find a way to move that would work in all scenarios.

Surabaya [16] is the capital of East Java and the 2nd largest city in Indonesia.
The story goes that Surabaya's name derives from the Javanese words Suro, meaning shark, and Boyo, meaning crocodile. With over 6 million people, unpretentious Surabaya is the second-largest city in Indonesia, but it's a little lacking in sights. However, many people come here on business, and Surabaya is also a gateway city for Mount Bromo and Bali. The city's tree-lined streets, street parks and renovated pavements will impress those newly arrived from other cities in the archipelago, though in general the city's attractions tend to be more apparent to those who make it their home rather than to short-term visitors.
Very tropical and you need to wear casual, light clothes: t-shirts, shorts, sandals or shoes. Temperatures vary little through the year, with daytime highs around 32-34 degrees Celsius, falling at night to 22-26 degrees. During the rainy season (November-April) be prepared for occasional flash floods and traffic jams, although it's not as bad as Jakarta.
The national language, Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian), is the medium of government, commerce and education. Many locals also speak the regional language, Javanese (sometimes with a local accent). There is a surprising amount of English visible in Surabaya on advertising and signs, and English is the most widely understood foreign language.
Get In[edit]
By plane[edit]
Surabaya's Juanda Airport (SUB) is the second busiest in the country after Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta, with very frequent flights to Jakarta and other major Indonesian destinations, as well as some direct international flights to destinations including Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Taipei, Guangzhou and Bandar Seri Begawan. Terminal 2 has opened on February 14, 2014, and all international flights and some domestic flights have moved here from the older Terminal 1. Holders of eligible passports arriving on international flights can arrange visa-on-arrival at Terminal 2.
Officially, you're supposed to buy fixed-fare taxi coupons from the "Prima Taxi" stand for the 18 km trip into town, around US$7-10 depending on your exact destination. If you choose to save time by taking the toll road from the airport, the toll charges will be extra. In practice you may be able to get a driver dropping off passengers to pick you up. There are 2 choices available: sedan type accommodates 4-5 pax and SUV type 6-7 pax or if you have lots of baggage. If you're going further away (eg. Mount Bromo), it'll be cheaper to a rent a car with a driver instead.
There is an Airport Bus service operated by DAMRI (same company as in Jakarta), which goes to the Bungurasih bus station. Buses stop in front of the terminal, are air-conditioned and reasonably comfortable, ticket costs Rp 15.000 (Rp 20,000 as of March 2016). The bus terminal, however, is hectic and is only slightly closer to the city center than the airport - going there makes sense only if you continue by bus to another city (e.g. Malang, Probolinggo), or do not mind continuing in a local bus.
There used to be a large viewing gallery on the top of the airport terminal (accessible directly from outside), but it has now been closed and converted into a transit hotel.
By train[edit]
Surabaya has two main stations, Surabaya Pasar Turi and Surabaya Gubeng. Seats in eksekutif (first class) and bisnis (second class) for any intercity journey can be reserved up to 30 days in advance at any major railway station in Java.
Stasiun Pasar Turi[edit]
Trains using the northern main line from Gambir Station in Jakarta take at least ten hours to arrive at Pasar Turi, while trains using the southern main line take no less than 15. Air-conditioned trains are available on both routes, though. The Argo Bromo Anggrek, Sembrani and Gumarang trains use the northern line, while the Bima uses the south line. All these trains have A/C eksekutif accommodations.
Stasiun Gubeng[edit]
Trains from Bandung and Yogyakarta use the Gubeng station. The Argo Wilis travels at daytime, allowing passengers to enjoy the scenery in the western part of the route. The Sancaka travels to Yogyakarta via Solo twice a day and takes approximately 6 hours. Railway connections to Bali are made by the twice-a-day Mutiara Timur express to Banyuwangi, transferring to buses before the ferry crossing to Gilimanuk. Don't forget to buy salak bali.
Slow and packed local economy-class trains from Malang arrive at Kota station (also known as Semut) and passing through Gubeng station as they come in from the south.
By boat[edit]
There is a public city bus that goes through the city to the main bus terminal for intercity connections. (Rp.10,000 or less if you go shorter way) The departure spot is about 5 min. walk from the port - just follow the crowd or ask people.
By bus[edit]
Surabaya has frequent bus connections from all parts of East Java and from major cities in other parts of Java and beyond. The main bus terminal is at Bungurasih, about 10 km south of the city. There are frequent shuttle buses from Malang (Rp 20.000 for air conditioned, less for "ekonomi") and Probolinggo (for Mount Bromo), so just turn up. Long-haul bus journeys are best booked in advance.
There are many people inside the terminal trying to solicit passengers to the bus of the company from which they get a commission, and they are especially bothersome to the foreigners. If you follow them to the bus, you are likely to get offered an inflated (Rp 200.000 or even more to Bali) price, even though there's an official price list (you can see it at the exit to the platform). Ticket offices do not guarantee you to be safe from overcharging - most of them are private, and there's no price posted on the window, so shop around. It may make sense to bargain if the price is certainly too high. Prices may be slightly higher during high demand periods like weekends and public holidays.
To Denpasar in Bali, fair price is Rp 100,000-120.000 by eksekutif night bus, including the ferry trip between Banyuwangi and Gilimanuk, mineral water and a meal. Buses depart from Bungurasih bus terminal in Surabaya, and arrive in Gubeng bus terminal in Denpasar. Duration: in 10-12 hr.
Ticket to Jakarta should cost Rp 130.000-150.000 in eksekutif bus - however the trip may be extremely tedious. The road is one of the busiest in Indonesia - despite that, much of it has only one lane in each direction, and there are lots of slow heavy trucks. There will be 3 or 4 rest stops on the way (20-30 minutes each), and at least some traffic jams near Jakarta, so even in an express bus what was advertised as 13-14 hours journey could easily turn into 18 or even 20.
By minibus[edit]
Another option is to go by minibus (known in Indonesia as travel). A number of companies run door-to-door minibus services from and to major destinations in Java, including Malang and Yogyakarta. These services are both more convenient and more expensive than public buses. Seats can be booked in advance through company offices, and also through many hotels and travel agents.
Get around[edit]
By taxi[edit]
Taxis are plentiful on the streets of Surabaya. Some taxis are not renowned for their reliability so stick to the well known firms: Blue Bird Group ☎+62 31 3721234, Orenz Taxi ☎ +62 31 8799999, Silver, and Express. Always insist on a metered fare, though the above firms will generally turn theirs on as a matter of course. Figure on Rp 40,000 for a cross-town trip and Rp 100,000 to the airport.
Fares for almost all firms are Rp 7000 flag fall (including the first kilometer) and Rp 500 for every subsequent 100m or minute stuck in traffic. Most companies apply a minimum fare for phone orders ranging from Rp 10,000 (Orenz and Silver) to Rp 25,000 (Blue Bird). For taxis hailed from the street or taken from most ranks, this minimum doesn't apply so just pay what the meter reads. Fares are always rounded up to the nearest Rp 1000, and small tips are appreciated (though not mandatory). If the meter reads less than Rp 10,000, it is considered polite to round the fare up to this.
A trip from Stasiun Gubeng to Pasar Keputran should cost around RP 20,000.
Grab are also in use throughout the city. However, the cars are not permitted to enter the Purabaya bus station and instead may wait out on the main road (Jalan Letjend Sutoyo).
By train[edit]
Commuter city trains are extremely limited, serving some parts of Surabaya and Sidoarjo.
Train Stations in Surabaya
By bus[edit]
This is a large populous city and buses are usually crowded. There are two class of bus: standard buses which are usually very full and patas buses (supposed to be first class, but it is still... a bus.)
By minibus[edit]
Bemos in East Java are sometimes called Angkot or Mikrolet. They are plentiful in Surabaya and can be hailed fairly randomly.
Angguna (Angkutan Serba Guna or multi purpose transport) are basically non-airconditioned, non metred (bargain the price) taxis. This makes them cheaper than taxis but they are often in a poor state of repair.
By becak[edit]
Becak is a traditional transportation in Surabaya but they are rarely used by visitors as they are not allowed on major streets.
By car[edit]
Another option to discover Surabaya is by car and there are many car rental companies. There are not many options of cars that can be rented, mostly are MPVs, city cars, and vans. These are best economical car to use in high traffic cities and inter cities.

Buy[edit][add listing]
Surabaya boasts some of South-East Asia's largest shopping malls. Try to shop between May 1st and June 30th when the Surabaya big sale is on. Discounts up to 70% at this time.
Factory outlet[edit]
Eat[edit][add listing]
Surabaya is home to a huge number of restaurants - this is an eating culture.
Don't forget to try pecel (greens in spicy peanut sauce), gado-gado (cooked vegetables in a peanut-based sauce), semanggi, bakso (meat-balls), and various ice-based desserts such as es cendol, es campur, es teler, and es kacang ijo. Many of the desserts may have an overwhelming sweetness to it so it's wise to ask for less sugar.

Stay Safe[edit]
As with any big city, never let your guard down, because big cities such as Surabaya have a reputation among Indonesians for a mid crime rate. That said, Surabaya has few real dangers for visitors apart from the perils of crossing the very busy roads (the secret is to raise an arm while crossing, and to progress with a predictable speed and bearing, allowing the traffic to flow around you). Don't walk on the streets, especially at night other than the CBD area, if you can avoid it since you won't have anything to sightsee. The streets are not pedestrian friendly, with huge holes in the pavements, and in some areas, pavements are non-existent. Very few locals walk around, not even if they have to go to the next street. Bring along your face mask if you travel by foot during rush hour since the traffic will be chaos and the air pollution is bad. (Around 4.30 PM to 6.30 PM) Be polite to the people, since Surabayans tend to swear easily which are very common. Do not easily trust people you have just met, even if they look friendly. Be prepared for lots of staring since people will recognize you as a foreigner.
Stay Healthy[edit]
Surabaya has hospitals with 24 hr emergency rooms Unit Gawat Darurat (UDG) (ER)
By phone[edit]
The international code for Indonesia is +62. Local Surabaya phone numbers will start +62 31 xxx xxxx or +62 31 xxxx xxxx for the CDMA provider or +62 8xx xxxx xxxx for the GSM provider.
There are four main telecommunication providers in Surabaya: Telkom, Telkomsel, Indosat, and XL.
To make an international call from Surabaya, dial the access code 001 (for Indosat), 007 (for Telkom/Telkomsel), or 008 (for Indosat), followed by the country code, area code and party's number. Recently the providers have started offering cheaper rates for calls using Internet telephony routes (VOIP). The access codes for this cheaper service are 01016 for Indosat provider and 01017 for Telkom and Telkomsel provider.
By net[edit]
If you have your own laptop, it may run free wifi networks at many malls. Ask at the information desk for access codes. Free hotspots are also available in most restaurants and cafes. Several hotels also provide free hotspots in their lobby. All major hotels provide internet access in one or more ways; simply ask them about this when you make your booking.
Alternatively, if you have a compatible 3G mobile phone and a laptop, tethering to your PC is the quickest way to gain internet access although speeds might not impress. Note that prepaid SIM cards can be purchased very easily and cheaply, and that service activation is completed on the user's phone very quickly. Once activated, recharge with credits as necessary. Internet access is usually available at this stage; refer to your phone's user manual for tethering instructions. Operators will usually offer internet packets that offer cheaper access fees - instructions to access these services are available in the booklet that comes with your SIM card (i.e. XL's services are accessible by dialing *123#). BlackBerry Internet Service is readily available and can be registered similarly on the prepaid SIM.
Internet cafes are available in many parts of the city with a price of Rp 4,000-Rp 5,000 per hour. However, most of them only have dial-up capabilities. Most of the internet cafes can be found around universities, and in most shopping malls.
Internet speeds in Surabaya are rarely fast, regardless of your connection. They are usually sufficient to make decent Skype voice calls, although HD video calling may not be possible. Temporarily disabling software updates (Windows Update, security software updates, Adobe Updater, etc.) may help maximise access speeds.

The Family Feud Answers That Left Grant Denyer Speechless
Ah, Family Feud.
When it comes to TV game shows, the audience-polled question-and-answer programme is never short of a giggle or two.
But even Grant Denyer struggles to keep a straight face at some of the utterly ridiculous answers that contestants come up with; between the cautious assertion that "Superman" is a legitimate profession ending in "man", to one participant's definite declaration of "big trucks!" being something we associate with trucks (he's not wrong, really), the pressure has certainly gotten to one of two of these guys.
Luckily for us, Channel 10 have rounded up the best of the bunch, all up for our viewing pleasure.

Plants of the park: Part 3
The Cape Peninsula (around 470 sq km) has 2 285 flowering plant species; Table Mountain National Park alone has 1470 of these. Mountain fynbos dominates the park. It's characterised by four main groups: protea shrubs with large leaves (proteoids), fine-leaved shrubs (ericoids), wiry, reed-like plants (restioids) and bulbous herbs (geophytes). We'll introduce you to some plant species you can find within Table Mountain National Park, which includes the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point.

We live in a golden age of technology. Flying cars, smartphones that talk, augmented reality eyeglasses — technology so advanced that it would have seemed ridiculous 20 years ago, the stuff of Gene Roddenberry's dreams. Well the future may not be soon enough for some clueless computer users. A recent study by IT staffing firm Robert Half Technology has put together a compendium of the funniest, laziest, and most downright unusual IT helpdesk requests, surveying over 1,400 CIO's across the country, and posing the simple question: "What is the strangest or most unusual request you or a member of your help desk or technical support team has ever received?"
Take for example:
"How do I remove a sesame seed from the keyboard?" An innocent enough question, to be sure — but almost poetic in its earnestness. And it raises so many more questions: Was the sesame seed from a morning bagel? A hoagie perhaps (or submarine sandwich if you prefer)? Had the person even tried to remove the seed themselves? Was it blocking a critical keyboard key, resulting in hilarious misspellings? We may never know. Of course, there are always the mundane and lazy questions, such as:
"How do I clean cat hair out of my computer fan?" Obvious, with this.
"Can you come over and plug in this cord for me?" No.
Anyone who's done IT support can attest that questions like these basically come with the territory. But then there are the visionaries, the futurists, the Steve Jobs of the cubicle.
Like the person asking this:
"Can I turn on the coffee pot with my computer?" This is one of those questions that really makes you think. Can I turn on the coffee pot with my computer? What would it take? An internet of things is already on the roadmap for many electronics makers, and wireless broadband deals and inexpensive wireless chips may soon make it a reality. So maybe this person was on to something. Or maybe they just didn't want to get up and go make a cup of coffee.
The idea of the Internet itself has long been a mystery for many less-experienced users (and parents). What is it, and how does it work? Like magnets, the Internet amazes and confounds — resulting in this:
"How do I start the Internet?"
"I'd like to download the entire Internet so I can take it with me."
And then there are the people just looking for advice, or help — or the lonely ones looking for a good chat. "Where can I find a video of Elvis Presley online," "Can you help us get money out of the vending machine," and "My car's cup holder is broken. Can you fix it?" all fall into this catagory.
"Beyond their entertainment value, these unusual requests demonstrate the strong customer service skills necessary to work in the help desk and technical support fields," says John Reed, the executive director of Robert Half Technology. "The best IT professionals are composed and empathetic — and, of course, have a good sense of humor." Check out the full list below, and let us know the strangest thing you've ever asked your IT guru.
"How do I clean cat hair out of my computer fan?"
"How do I remove a sesame seed from the keyboard?"
"I need help drilling holes in the wall."
"Can you come over and plug in this cord for me?"
"I need you to install a video monitoring system."
"Can I turn on the coffee pot with my computer?"
"I dropped my phone in the toilet. What should I do?"
"I want to download software to change an audio file to video."
"How do I pirate software?"
"We need you to fix the microwave in the lunchroom."
"Can you recommend a good dry cleaner?"
"Can you help me fix my chair?"
"Can you help us get money out of the vending machine?"
"I can't find my packages online! Can you help me?"
"Can you help me fix my toilet?"
"My car's cup holder is broken. Can you fix it?"
"Can you help me repair a washing machine?"
"Where can I find a video of Elvis Presley online?"
"I'd like to download the entire Internet so I can take it with me."
"How do I start the Internet?"
"Will you show me how to use the mouse?"
"My computer won't turn on or off." (The computer was unplugged.)
"How do I send an email?"
"How do I click on different files?"

Wow... I didn't think that my inability to conjure up a coherent sentence in French would bring up such a lively conversation....I greatly appreciate the encouragement by Thany, Superchop, Joe Dalton and of course Hellychan.
Much to my dismay, I used to be able to hold a reasonable conversation about 10+ years ago at the end of my grade schooling... sigh.. I could also write sentences back then too... correct ones no less honest
With the minimal exposure that I've had to people who actually speak the language in my part of the country, my reasonable skill level (for a tourist that is) has degraded to the point of pure embarrassment .... I guess the next time I'm in Europe I gotta spend about a month in France to hopefully boost my abilities to that of a crappy tourist... (making note to check if I have relative I can bum off a place to stay).. Would be nice to be able to claim that I'm trilingual (enough ) again instead of being plain ole bilingual....
I can totally understand his position Id be totally nervous/proud that so many guys where eyeballing my wife Hes got to be a bit more secure thou.. It says a lot that you married him in the first place
Lol he doesnt have to worry about me thou I live way too far and would probably get lost on the Trans Canada Highway on the way
Not a problem, complements always seem to sound better in the persons native tong and I make an effort if I can to at least pay one compliant in that language.. My only fear was that my English would sound better than my French thereby ruining the complement lol. I am happy that it wasnt the case
Yes Sensei I will write that one down now (jotting down 'Mon Francais est très mauvais, mais vous êtes très belle' for later reference)
I appreciate the correction, it goes a long way for me to getting a better feel for the grammar again.
Joe Dalton:
I know what you mean about the grammar, but its a bit worse for me as French has similarites to other southern European languages Im familiar with. So falling into a trap of familiarity is much easier sigh. But I agree with you, theres nothing like being totally immersed in a language and culture to speed up the learning process
To All:
Seems like theres been a lot of discussion about blue/purple hair as of late but no pictures So I guess Ill be the first to post one of me with dark purple hair/ with matching Go-Tee and eyebrows Before anyone freaks thinking this is my regular attire Ill explain (see previous picture for a more normal looking me )
Explanation: It was Halloween any guesses as to what I went as?
No I dont have a tattoo a friend of mine thought it would accentuate the look if she penned one in . I think it works out well . Ill see if I can find another angle of this picture but so far this is the only one I can find right now.
Gees... what's whith me and these huge posts anyhow?... next i'll be accused of being longwinded... hehehe

bob I have no clue what you went as, but you got PURPLE HAIR how cool ;p
I would think about dyeing my hair, but its soooooooooooo thin like everytime I get a haircut you can see my scalp like my hair is see through. So if I did dye it I think all of hair would fall out and I would have this nasty ass stain on my head that was PURPLE or BLUE and I would only get fingers and laughs for being a bald purple or blue stained guy T_T
Well if there are any more people out there who have done the greatness of dyeing there hair PURPLE or BLUE plz post ^^
PS I posted once and ever since then I was called a 16 year old and buddhist monk so I'm going to have to think about posting another pic
EDIT: PSS has anyone gotten there hair this kind of blue I like this one
BTW this is suppose to be a ciel cosplay from shingetsutan tsukhime

Not true: View jiminski's ratings
I don't understand what you were directing me to. He had all 4.9s which is what i'm saying doesn't round to 5. I saw somewhere else since that it can round back up to 5.0, so my concern is unfounded/resoved, but not in those ratings
yeah i think the point fFraid was making is that it was 5 (it moved to 4.9 after that post today.) although in some places i had scored less than 5 in individual ratings?
