Dollhouse Design: The I'm A Giant Challenge
One of my most vivid childhood memories is making handmade dollhouse furniture with my grandmother. She taught me how to sew tiny pillows, save carpet samples for area rugs, and fashion a dining chair from a metal champagne topper. Did you know that a sample perfume bottle and a toothpaste cap make the best dollhouse lamps? The hobby is being revived by bloggers world wide. Birthed by HGTV design star Emily Henderson, the I'm a Giant Challenge is taking the blogosphere by storm. Only these designers have loftier visions than gluing an image of a wardrobe from the Sears catalogue onto a cardboard box. No, these are the dollhouses of architects, photographers, magazine editors and interior designers. Click through the gallery to see the masterpieces in progress.
The gallery above shows some works in progress. You can click through to each blog to learn more.
You too can be a giant. The deadline for entry is December 15, and there will be an exhibition in January at a Los Angeles gallery. Anyone can participate, and we may just yet. Let's see what my two and four-year-old daughters can cook up with their 90-year-old great-grandmother.
Find the details on Emily Henderson's blog.

Professional Digital Turntable
USB Integration and MP3 Playback
The CDJ-400's cosmetic design is simple and compact yet elegant with all of its various controls and features located directly on top of the unit. A USB port found on the face of the player allows DJs to play their MP3 music collection from a wide variety of portable music devices such as thumb drives, MP3 players or external hard drives. With the use of a multi-function selector knob/button and its large, bright, dot-matrix LCD display, locating and accessing of files from these types of music devices as well as MP3 music files on CD and CD-R/RW through the CD slot are done with a turn and press of the knob.
DJ Software Compatibility and MIDI Control
With more of today's DJs utilizing different DJ software for their performances, the CDJ-400 is also equipped with a PC mode. In this mode, the CDJ-400 is a native controller for software such as Pioneer DJS computer software and SERATO® Scratch LIVE. For example, the movement of the pitch slider on the CDJ-400 can control the pitch slider on the computer software and no timecode CD is required for audio control. The player can also act as a MIDI controller where the user can assign virtually every button on the player to trigger functions of various DJ software programs.
World's First Scratch Jog Effect
A highlight and an advancement of the CDJ-400 is its scratching capability. In addition to traditional "vinyl" mode scratching, Pioneer implemented the World's First Scratch Jog Effect. Three highlighted buttons, each assigned to a special effect, Bubble, Trans and Wah, creates unique scratching sound effects that can be enabled by the DJ on the fly. A "hold" button was also added to retain the different effects throughout the session or until its release, which can also be triggered at any point of play.
Other Performance Features:
- Digital Loop functions: A variety of loops can be created for additional audio effects.
- Beat Loop: Automatically creates a four beat loop based on the tempo of the music (BPM) being played.
- Loop Divide: Rhythmically divides the loop to create different patterns.
- Hot Loop: Restarts the loop seamlessly from its entry without interruption of the music.
- Digital Jog Break: In CD mode the CDJ-400 contains three effects, Jet, Roll and Wah, which further enhances the audio by simply rotating the jog dial. The same buttons for the Scratch Jog Effect are assigned to the Digital Jog Break which are accessible at any point of play.
- Tempo Control: Four tempo modes, ±6%, ±10%, ±16% and WIDE, provide additional speed control with a resolution of 0.02% in the 6% range.
- Cue/Loop Points: Up to 10 cue/loop points per disc, for up to 920 discs, can be stored to player's memory.
- Jog Indicator: A red halo illumination around the jog provides instantaneous visual feedback to the DJ.
- Customizable Jog Wheel: Users can create their own customized image to insert under the removable jog wheel top.
- Digital Output: A digital output is available for a direct connection for clearer sound to a connected mixer.
- Resume Function: The function takes effect if a CD is ejected accidentally. Once the DJ re-inserts the disc, it automatically starts playing from exactly the point where it stopped.

The Value of Annoying Co-Workers
2014-02-17 13:43:40Source:The Wall Street JournalAuthor:
James liked his job in the admissions office of a large university. It was interesting, decently paid, useful work, he told me at the holiday gathering where we'd met. The only problem: His co-workers agitated his every last nerve.
There was the social butterfly who spent her days flitting from desk to desk; the workaholic who obsessed over every last detail; the malcontent who subtly belittled anyone who spoke up in a meeting; the passive-aggressive assistant who would only answer calls if you were on her good side that week; and the boss, a hopeless narcissist who inevitably made himself the focus of every task. James came to dread going into the office. (For reasons of privacy, I've changed his name, as well as the names of others cited here.)
You rarely get to pick your co-workers, which makes it nearly impossible to predict whether you'll be happy at any new job. While exploring life in the modern workplace, I've heard people grumble again and again not about their job but about their office mates. They were thrown in among the autocrats and the aristocrats; the passives, the aggressives and the passive aggressives; the suck-ups and the backstabbers. This may be why so many of us could relate to the NBC sitcom "The Office," with its universal message: The office would be a fine place to work, if it weren't for everyone else.
But not all "disrupters"—the personality types who make it harder to get work done—harm office life or even productivity.
Take narcissists. Sure, they're terrible listeners and apt to gobble up all the credit. But they also can be charming, engaging and charismatic. They can attract and inspire followers and be terrific mentors and leaders—which is why so many bosses are narcissists. In a 2006 study of more than 100 CEOs, researchers at Penn State found that executive narcissism can actually be motivational. The key to working for such a boss is learning to share praise, making your own contributions subtly known and ensuring that the narcissist doesn't rule your work life.
Another classic disrupter is the passive aggressive type—the office scorekeeper. Greg, a graphic designer at a magazine and a family friend, told me that he habitually did better layouts for editors who took a personal interest in him. He'd frequently hand in shabby pages for colleagues he spotted going out for drinks who hadn't invited him along. "I did not ever want to be perceived as looking vulnerable or weak," he said. "Why should I do for other people when they don't do for me?"
Scorekeepers don't play fair, which makes them tricky to get along with. But Pat Heim and Susan Murphy, authors of "In the Company of Women," argue that scorekeeping can have an upside, if used to encourage cooperation and motivate co-workers—a sort of "do for others what they do for you" philosophy.
Then there is the office gossip. A 2012 study at the University of Amsterdam found that gossip makes up a whopping 90% of office conversation—but isn't as detrimental as you might think. The researchers concluded that such behind-the-back chatter may be essential for group survival. They found that gossip can make offices run more smoothly and improve productivity, helping to keep underperforming workers in line while fostering camaraderie.
Consider Sascha—a friend's daughter who worked as an assistant to a busy orthopedist in a Manhattan hospital. Sascha had been enduring a painful divorce and was overwhelmed with personal obligations. Her co-workers were losing patience, but she figured they would have to understand.
They didn't. Sascha began to overhear her name whispered in the hallways; she'd enter the break room for coffee, and chatter would halt. But instead of calling her co-workers out, she listened. She tried hard to get her work done despite her personal struggles. "I was wrong in assuming that my co-workers were my friends, or even that they shouldn't talk about me," she told me. "I needed someone to give me a kick in the ass, and, well, they did."
Finally, there are the obsessive, workaholic types—disrupters who live for order. They may be annoyingly rule-bound, but they set high standards, communicate well and make great operators, mentors and team members. As a 2011 study from the Rouen Business School in France reported, workaholism often can be constructive, inspiring co-workers to be more original and dedicated.
Adapting to personality types at work need not mean abandoning your principles. Even the most annoying co-workers often have something to teach. You also need to figure out if you yourself are a disrupter. James realized that he was the office enabler, the one who needed everyone's approval all the time. That revelation let him separate himself more from his job—making him not just a better worker but a better co-worker too.

Hi Jude
So sorry sweetie, are you OK? You are being really sweet not telling dh til this evening, that's really kind and brave of you.
Good news that you can have another go really fast, it at least gives you some kind of feeling of choice. I think that's what I'd do in your situation. I wicxh I'd done that after our failed IUI but of course I thought we had to wait years for donor eggs in the UK .............We wasted so much time (and money) in the UK too. Also here in Germany , we told the clinic our results up to date, but they still insisted on going through them all again and putting me on Cycloprogenova for 3 months to test womb lning response. My periods had stopped completely, and I was having hot flushes and have a moustache! I mean how much more menopausal can you get?
I guess as they had no other way to help they wanted to be really really sure. But it's not fair cos it gives you false hope. The only reason I found out about going abroad for DE is that it's illegal here in Germany, I wonder if they're just trying to protect their "business", pretty immoral if that's true.
Anyway, you are not ranting you are frustrated and I really understand that. I mean we are so worried about the IVF and all we don't even have time to think about being an older mum and stuff.
My mum's coming to see me next week, she's an angel with her "baby fund", give dh a break form me blubbering all over him.
btw have immaced my moustache away!
Love and kisses

AMMAN (Reuters) - Syrian opposition leader Moaz Alkhatib visited rebel-held areas in northern Syria on Sunday, in a trip intended to strengthen ties between the main opposition coalition and rebels inside the country, an aide said.
Alkhatib, who fled Syria last year after being imprisoned several times during the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad, entered northern Syria from Turkey and toured the towns of Jarablus and Minbij, the source told Reuters.
"As leader of the revolution, Sheikh Moaz went into Syria to strengthen the links with the inside," the aide said.
Video footage taken from a passing car showed Alkhatib walking in the main street of Minbij, apparently with a local notable. A crowd builds up around him as he as becomes recognized and then he starts greeting and kissing passersby.
Assad's firepower, including increased use of Scuds and other missiles, has kept the opposition's grip on areas it has captured tenuous and made it difficult for figures such as Alkhatib to visit. But the opposition has recently began to receive more international funding, making it easier to forge links with those inside, opposition sources say.
Alkhatib earlier attended a meeting of over 220 rebel commanders and opposition activists from Aleppo to elect a local administration for what the opposition describes as the mostly liberated province, whose population comprise around 30 percent of the country's total.

Aaliyah HadidRequest Her Follow
Model Information
Measurements: 32D-24-36
There's no denying the regal Aaliyah Hadid's claim to porn fame. This gorgeous, olive-skinned babe grew up in North Carolina with expectations of a successful future. An alluring mix of White, Black, Vietnamese and Cherokee heritage resulted in a ravishing beauty she proudly flaunted. Her parents shielded her from living her own life, instructing their daughter to dismiss all of life's distractions, instead focusing on pursuing a rigorous college education. Always the accommodating one, Aaliyah remained studious until the day she realized she wasn't following her own dreams. For a time, she danced topless at a local club, learning just how much people were willing to pay for her untold pleasures. Proudly dancing her way to a new set of gorgeous fake tits, Aaliyah left the stage behind and joined the ranks of porn's best and brightest! Her thick booty is a welcome sight in any scene she graces with her juicy presence, but it's her delectable blowjob lips and sensual mystique that have made Aaliyah Hadid a name to remember!

Google sued over mobile Chrome by patent firm
Smart, simplified navigation system fingered
Google's mobile Chrome browser is facing its first patent suit in a Texas court.
EMG Technology has accused Google of infringing a patent covering simplified navigation on smartphones and tablets.
EMG, based in Santa Monica, California, is seeking unspecified damages and the standard injunction preventing the distribution and sale of the Chrome mobile browser in the US.
The patent in question is US Patent 7,441,196 C1 ('196) and can be seen here.
Google was unavailable to comment at the time of writing.
The action has been filed in the litigant-friendly District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division. Small companies, especially, thrive there. XML development specialist i4i and web technologies company Eolas have both launched successful suits against the world's largest software company here.
In a suit dating back to 1999, Eolas claimed Internet Explorer violated one of its patents on opening third-party applications like Flash within a browser. Eolas settled in 2007 after Microsoft lost the first case but won an appeal on the ruling that required the company to pay Eolas more than $500m. The settlement amount was undisclosed.
i4i claimed Word 2003 and 2007 violated XML patents it owned. The case went all the way to the US Supreme Court, where Microsoft lost and was ordered to pay $300m in damages.
Plenty of other giants have been taken to court in East Texas by minnows while the elite – Hewlett-Packard, Cisco and Nokia among them – have not been averse to duelling in the jurisdiction.
There is every chance device-makers who use the Chrome mobile browser will also be drawn into the Vietnam that is East Texas. Elliot Gottfurcht, managing member and lead inventor of EMG's patent portfolio, in a statement on the Google prosecution here pointed to mobile devices from Samsung that are also using Chrome Mobile.
Having settled with Microsoft over IE, Eolas went on to prosecute Adobe Systems, Apple, Google, the former Sun Microsystems, YouTube, Blockbuster, JP Morgan Chase, JC Penny and Playboy Enterprises over the concept of in-browser applications and most plug-ins – though it was less successful in that case.
EMG Technology previously slapped Apple with a patent infringement lawsuit over the iPhone's browser. ®

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 17, 2003 -- A proposed plan by the U. S. Department of State to relocate or even eliminate two Anti-Terrorism Assistance (ATA) programs that are currently in operation at New Mexico Tech has run into strong bipartisan opposition from the U. S. Capitol to the State Capitol.
U.S Representative Steve Pearce signed on with U. S. Senators Pete Domenici and Jeff Bingaman in a letter sent last
week to Secretary of State Colin Powell, asking him to intervene and reverse recently drafted State Department plans to relocate the Rural Border Patrol Operations training program from New Mexico Tech to either Louisiana State University or a U. S. Department of Energy training facility in Albuquerque.
In addition, the letter also asks Secretary Powell to reinstate a related Hostage Negotiation training program at New Mexico Tech, which was eliminated at the end of last year, and to continue using the university's extensive research and testing facilities to support other ATA programs.
"This coordinated effort being conducted by our state's senior statesmen, along with freshman Congressman Pearce, clearly attests to the importance of resurrecting these established programs, not only to New Mexico Tech and New Mexico's benefit, but also in the greater interest of our nation's homeland and international security as well," said New Mexico Tech President Daniel H. López.
Two legislative measures also have been introduced at the current New Mexico State Legislature, requesting the U. S. Department of State to reinstate the Rural Border Patrol Operations training program at New Mexico Tech.
House Memorial 20 is being spearheaded by State Representative Don Tripp; while its identical counterpart, Senate Memorial 34, has been introduced by State Senator Ben D. Altamirano, in an effort to quell a federal administrative decision which the lawmakers contend will adversely affect New Mexico Tech's research budget, as well as Socorro County's economic development.
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson also joined in the bipartisan effort to reverse the State Department's decision, making several phone calls to his own personal contacts in the upper echelons of federal government, in hopes of reinstating the anti-terrorist programs at New Mexico Tech.
In the letter sent to Secretary Powell, Pearce, Domenici, and Bingaman reiterated the importance of maintaining the ATA training programs to bolster national security and "improve both bilateral and international cooperation in the fight against terrorism."
The New Mexico delegation also made special note of the significant investments New Mexico Tech and the State of New Mexico have made in the past to ensure the programs' viability, most recently with the construction of a state-of-the-art small arms training and practice range.
In addition, they also pointed out that New Mexico Tech has been providing a prime training area, which consists of 3,137 acres, at no cost to the Rural Border Patrol Operations program.
"I do not know of any sound basis for not having these programs continue at New Mexico Tech," said Senator Domenici.
"This university has built a strong record of being very resourceful in its Anti-Terrorism and First Responders programs, and we want Secretary Powell to acknowledge that expertise and restore these programs."
"New Mexico Tech has long been leading the way in the fight against terrorism," Senator Bingaman said. "Clearly, the loss of these critical anti-terrorism training programs would have severe consequences not just for New Mexico Tech and Socorro County, but also for our nation as a whole. . . . I hope Secretary Powell will work closely with us to reverse this shortsighted decision."
"The bipartisan efforts being mounted by a wide spectrum of New Mexico's leadership on behalf of these critically important training programs serves as a clear example of how we can all come together in support of our nation's Homeland Security and anti-terrorist efforts," López added.
In a recent economic development study, New Mexico Tech estimated that the two ATA programs which are being considered for relocation or elimination had a combined economic impact of $1.9 million on New Mexico Tech and the City of Socorro during fiscal year 2002.

Tractor and silage chopper
A neighbor is chopping his field of tall corn for silage this week. Yesterday evening, he had made a few rounds with his tractor and chopper before parking for the night. I suppose he was checking out his machinery to see if it was all working correctly.
Today when I passed by, harvest was proceeding full steam ahead. The farmer was driving his tractor down the rows of corn, pulling the chopper and a big metal wagon. Chopped cornstalks were arching out of the chopper's long spout, in a steady stream into the wagon. Another tractor was taking a full wagon to be emptied.
I am curious where this silage is being stored. I doubt if it's going into a pit silo because we usually get a lot of winter rain in Kentucky. A pit silo would quickly become a pond. I don't think this farmer has any upright silos, so the silage is probably going to a bunker silo or perhaps just a silage pile on the ground or on a concrete slab.
tall, cylindrical silos made of interlocking concrete staves that were popular fifty years ago or more. They often buy old, unused silos of this sort from local "English" farmers to reconstruct on their own farms.
Wherever the chopped corn plants are ensiled, it's vital to pack it thoroughly to eliminate air pockets and to cover it tightly right away. Air in the silage increases the growth of mold and and slows the fermentation that changes the green chop into silage. Making silage is a lot like making sauerkraut on a very large scale -- the crock must be tightly packed and the lid put in place.

Bummis Affordable Cloth Diaper Covers & Accessories
Bummis was started by mothers using cloth diapers on their own babies. At that time, there was a serious lack of good quality, affordable cloth diaper covers on the market. They set out to design cloth diapers and cloth diaper covers that would work on their own babies. The babies are now grown, but Bummis is still a company owned by mothers. Their focus is the same: they believe that good quality, easy to use and affordable cloth diaper covers make it easy to use cloth diapers.
As a company they feel a responsibility to their employees and to their community. They have made a commitment to never manufacture in a so-called developing country, although their costs would be lower if they did. Instead they pay sewers well for a job well done. They have created a calm and pleasant atmosphere in their factory, one in which they all love to work. Their outside contractors are paid a living wage and treated with the respect they deserve. Not only is this what they believe as managers and business owners, but it makes sense in the long run because their employees and contractors are the strong base of our success. Bummis is based in Montreal, Quebec. Made in Canada.
For detailed directions on caring for and tips for using your Bummis products please refer to the manufacturers Cloth Diapers Care and Use page.

Patrick Cantwell, the Amagansett fire chief, reported last week that on April 30 someone had removed a $2,500 portable fire radio from a room with a combination lock on the door. He had held off reporting the incident, hoping the radio might have been misplaced, the fire chief said, but now needed to report it missing for insurance purposes. The department was doing joint drills the night before with three other companies, five men each from East Hampton, Westhampton, and Montauk, Mr. Cantwell told police.
East Hampton
Vandals knocked over two lawn statues and damaged a fence and a street sign the night of May 10 in the vicinity of Three Mile Harbor Road and Oakview Highway. About six young men were seen roaming the neighborhood that night.
An East Hampton woman has found nails in her car tires twice in the last six weeks, she complained on May 11. The car was parked both times in the gravel lot on North Main Street next to the Hudson City Savings Bank.
Residents of nearby buildings told police the owner of the bank property believes the parking spots belong to the bank during business hours. An officer also learned that one neighbor dumps refuse from his truck into a Dumpster on the property and that there are frequently nails in the material. The officer walked around the lot and found several nails scattered about.
East Hampton Village
An East Hampton woman walking on Ocean Avenue called 911 on May 14 and said her dog was fighting with another dog in the bushes and she couldn't get him out. The dog came out, no worse for wear, just as an officer arrived. The other dog disappeared.
Police came across a car with only three tires, stuck on Railroad Avenue in front of Consumer Tires, on May 16. The car's owner had just pulled out of the shop after having his tires changed, but one tire's lug nuts had not been tightened. It fell off as the car moved, destroying the right-side fender.
An officer spotted a woman running away from a black Mercedes-Benz parked on Main Street and David's Lane on Saturday. The woman said she'd been using her husband's cellphone and had found text messages on it from another woman. Her husband said the messages were innocent and he just wanted his phone back. They both confirmed that no violence had occurred. Their 6-year-old was in the back seat of the car during the incident, which ended after the wife gave her husband back his phone and the two agreed to go their separate ways.
Several officers responded to a call of a robbery in progress early last Thursday evening near South Emerson Street. The caller was a New York City man who'd gone for a walk on the beach with his wife, leaving their cooler and gear behind. They returned to find four men, one of whom was going through the cooler, pulling out bottles of beer and wine. The New Yorker grabbed the man and told him to stay put while he called the police, who spoke with the four and escorted them off the beach. No further action was taken.
Sean Murphy, who owns a vacant property on West Lake Drive, called police on May 15 to say there had been a sleep-in intruder. An officer found a suitcase with clothing, a backpack, a sleeping bag, and a Go-Pro camera on the premises. On the suitcase was a tag with the name of the owner, who was told he could collect his items at the Montauk police station, where he admitted having previously slept in another vacant West Lake Drive location. He was warned not to enter any more vacant buildings or he would be arrested.
Sag Harbor
A Hampton Street resident called police last week to say there was a raccoon locked in his upstairs bathroom. A wildlife rescuer removed it.
Another caller, who police said was likely a graduating senior, reported on Friday that there was a beached whale on the grounds at the high school.
Also on Friday, police received a report that chains and moorings were stolen from the North Haven mooring field over the winter.
A Springs woman told police on May 14 that during the previous weekend the welded metal mailbox outside Hampton Auto Collision, which was die-cut in the silhouette of a person, had been run over.
An East Hampton woman told police that same day that four solar L.E.D.s that had lined the dock at the marina at Isle of Wight and Three Mile Harbor Roads had been stolen. The lights, valued at $40 apiece, had been screwed into the dock.

Story highlights
- Plan to close dozens of control towers during overnight hours scrapped
- Uncertain if agency will ultimately close 149 contractor towers
- Budget pressures at center of FAA decisions on tower staffing
The Obama administration has reversed a decision to close several dozen air traffic control facilities during overnight hours due to budget pressures, but still is considering plans to shut down a large number of smaller facilities operated by contractors.
The decision by the Federal Aviation Administration comes two weeks after Congress allowed it to end controller furloughs, also imposed due to sweeping government-wide cuts in spending that took effect in March.
The FAA had planned to cut overnight staffing at 72 towers from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Fresno, California, but an agency statement on Wednesday said that step would not occur "at this time."
It has already delayed closing 149 air traffic facilities run by private contractors at mainly small and medium airports due to forced budget cuts, which require the FAA to save $253 million through September 30.
There is no word when those closures might occur, if at all. The agency has come under political and aviation industry pressure to keep them open.
A representative of the contract towers said he remains optimistic that the FAA will spare them.
Aviation-related budget cuts have become a visible flashpoint in the partisan-fueled debate over spending in Washington.
They have been highlighted by many to illustrate a clear nationwide consequence of the $85 billion in government-wide spending cuts that took effect in March and may otherwise not be apparent to the public.
Those automatic cuts were activated after Congress failed to reach an agreement on deficit reduction.

DaaS | News
The University of California Los Angeles Library Service has completed implementation of desktops-as-a-service (DaaS) across its 13 campus libraries.
The university had been looking for a cost-effective solution to provide desktops for students on the libraries' public terminals. Following a pilot deployment, the university rolled out a DaaS platform from tuCloud. Thousands of UCLA students now use the tuCloud DaaS platform each month to access digital resources, such as academic journals, publications, papers, and subscriptions. tuCloud is providing the technology, support, and hosting for the DaaS desktops in the public areas of UCLA libraries.
According to the company, tuCloud's DaaS platform is a fully managed and hosted cloud desktop solution for organizations with more than 100 desktop users. The platform uses the company's proprietary DaaS Engine technology, which integrates connection brokering, load balancing, high-availability stretch clustering, and intuitive management control panels into a single appliance.
"The tuCloud DaaS Engine is a next-generation Desktops-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution based on patent-pending (true linear) grid distributed architecture that completely redefines the way virtual desktops are delivered and managed, cutting down on the cost and complexity of virtual desktop infrastructure," according to the company.
According to Guise Bulle, CEO of tuCloud, the company's managed desktop solution can be scaled on demand, so UCLA will be able to expand its DaaS implementation as needed, and unlike traditional desktop virtualization solutions, the tuCloud DaaS Engine does not require shared storage, which further simplifies scaling.

GOP Senate in 2014 a long shot
Republicans have whiffed in two straight Senate cycles but will get a third swing at the majority in 2014. It will take a lot more than charm, though, to put them back in power.
Twenty Senate Democrats will have to defend their seats that year, while just 13 Republicans will be up for reelection. At least six of the Democrats represent red states — places like Arkansas, Louisiana and South Dakota — and are seen as ripe GOP pickings. Retirements could expand the map for the party.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Norquist: Lame duck tax hike unlikely)
Still, Republicans will need almost everything to break in their favor to pick up the half-dozen seats needed to take back the Senate. It's certainly possible but a long shot.
After all, we've seen this script before and know how it ended: with bloody Republican primaries that yielded weak, self-immolating or unelectable nominees. As much as Republicans will be up against a beatable slate of Democrats in two years, they're also in a race against the clock — to fix their own myriad internal problems that have practically ceded the Senate to Democrats.
( Also on POLITICO: Shays unloads on McMahon camp)
"If the Republicans run the same pattern of the last two cycles, the Democrats ought to have an easy time," said former conservative Democratic Sen. John Breaux of Louisiana. "That's going to be a battle they're going to go through. Not mentioning names, there are some in the Senate that are reacting in a fashion that [indicates they] understand they have to change."
The task of flipping the Senate in 2014 got a lot harder after Democrats nearly ran the table last week, picking up two seats when breaking even would have been a coup. Republicans would probably need a wave of 2010 proportions to get there.
At this early vantage point, the six most vulnerable Democrats are Sens. Mark Begich of Alaska, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, n. Tim Johnson of South Dakota and Max Baucus of Montana.
( Also on POLITICO: How Obama, Boehner could agree)
Sens. Mark Udall of Colorado and Mark Warner of Virginia will also be up for reelection, but Republicans acknowledge their opportunities in this pair of battleground states hinge almost completely on finding impeccable challengers.
Potential Democratic retirements include Sens. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, who will turn 90 in 2014; Carl Levin of Michigan; Dick Durbin of Illinois; and Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia.
Durbin told Crain's Chicago Business last week he plans to run but hadn't made a final decision. A spokeswoman for Levin told POLITICO, "He has not focused on it because of his Senate work, but he'll make a decision in the early part of next year." Lautenberg's press aide said his boss is "singularly focused on disaster relief and recovery" from Hurricane Sandy.

He botched the debate despite his reputation as a great communicator. He gave long-winded answers that were hard to follow. He got lost in the weeds of economic and fiscal statistics . His speech was halting. He was defensive. He forgot to smile.
I'm talking about Ronald Reagan and the first debate of his 1984 re-election campaign.
Reagan, like every elected incumbent President before and after him (save for Bill Clinton in 1996), had a bad first debate. There are several possible reasons for this. The incumbent's record is on trial and it's always imperfect, inherently putting him on the defensive. There's a reluctance to sacrifice gravitas and "punch down" at the challenger. Presidents have day jobs and can't focus on debate prep.
Furthermore, an incumbent has never lost a lead because of a bad debate performance. Mere theatrics does not throw all past performance on the job, all economic reality, all national security reality, out the window. An incumbent has a record, and after four years people know it.
But Reagan's bad debate temporarily jolted the campaign. The shaky performance sparked questions in the media about Reagan's old age, though if you watch the above video it really isn't that bad. (He does not appear to have Alzheimer's yet.) Reagan just wasn't as sharp as people had come to expect.
Yet the age questions proved to be a minor distraction. The polls tightened a bit, but Reagan was still way ahead. Nothing about Reagan's performance altered the most important fact, the unemployment rate was headed downward, from 10.8% in 1982 to 7.2% by Election Day.
Will the same dynamic occur following President Obama's low-wattage performance in his first debate?
My opinion is yes, but with one caveat.
People have to stop obsessing about the polls.
We've had a flood of polls in the immediate aftermath of the debate, and flood of coverage about those polls. We've had far less coverage about what was actually said in the debate, and whether it holds up to scrutiny.
The initial Romney bump in several polls suggests Romney was able to temporarily escape the perception of a socially awkward right-wing plutocrat. But as the Obama campaign has been furiously calling attention to what he said in the debate, the bump appears to be subsiding if you look closer.
Obama didn't say anything that was unpopular with the public in the debate. If you don't believe me, notice that the Romney campaign has not run any ads criticizing something that Obama said in the debate.
Meanwhile, the Obama campaign has been slamming Romney on his lack of specifics for paying for his tax cuts (save for Big Bird) and his straight-up lie about keeping health insurance coverage for everyone with pre-existing conditions.
The counter-offensive appears to be working.
The daily Gallup tracking poll shows Obama polling just as well on Sunday and Monday as he did before the the debate. ABC News reported that its Thursday through Sunday poll show a bump on Thursday which "subsequently subsided." A Public Policy Polling poll in Virginia had a similar ebbing.
But can the counter-offensive continue if everyone keeps obsessing about the polls?
The eye-popping Pew Poll, showing an implausible 9-point swing to Romney among registered voters and a 12-point swing among "likely" voters, is driving a media frenzy. And the fact that the Gallup tracking poll, long seen as employing a methodology that skews data towards Romney, now has suddenly instituted its own "likely" voter screen which turns an Obama lead into a Romney lead, will probably stoke even more mania — despite the fact that the screen says nothing about the debate's impact and how the voters are processing the aftermath.
What all this data suggests to me is: if Romney is allowed to swap a right-wing persona for a moderate persona, and lie about his stated policy positions without challenge, he can blur the differences and make the race competitive.
When he's getting called out on his Bush-style conservatism, as had been happening for the last several months, and attention can be paid again to the steadily improving economy, Obama keeps his lead.
Similarly, when Reagan was able to tie his opponent to his unpopular predecessor and keep the focus on an improving economy, his bad debate performance proved meaningless.
Reagan just didn't have a million poll-obsessed bloggers and twitterers to get in his way.

The 21-year-old is having the best time of her life. But it's also the worst.
Her grandfather, with whom she had a very close relationship, died last week.
"I personally felt like I've been not as appreciative as I could be of the music success I wanted all my life because I've been distracted by my grandfather and his health and this being such a dark time," she said in an interview.
Grande said she hasn't had much time to "sit back and realize and just enjoy" her musical breakthrough, and what's coming next may not allow any time for it.
Her sophomore album, "My Everything," arrives Aug. 25 at midnight, moments after the MTV Video Music Awards, where Grande is nominated for three moonmen. She released a new single, "Bang Bang," this week with Nicki Minaj and Jessie J, which quickly topped the iTunes charts. The Iggy Azalea-assisted "Problem," which has sold 2.6 million tracks so far, is spending its 13th consecutive week in the Top 10 and another single, "Break Free," is a rising radio hit.
"What's so attractive about Ariana is, No. 1 she's an extraordinary talent, No. 2 she's an exceptional actress, and the third part of it – which makes her a triple threat – is she has this wildly successful fan base on the Internet unlike anything we've seen in some time," said Monte Lipman, the CEO and chairman of Republic Records who signed Grande when she was 17.
MTV reprised its "Total Request Live" for a day for Grande. Amy Doyle, the network's executive vice president of music and talent programming strategy, said MTV sat down with Grande's team to plan ways to help launch her new album.
"If `TRL' was around today, Ariana would be a fixture in the same way Britney (Spears) was when Britney was of the moment," said Doyle, who said the network had been thinking of ways to bring back "TRL," but hadn't come up with the right idea until they thought of Grande. "She was absolutely the perfect artist to do that because her fans are active and she's very social."
The triumph in music comes a year after Grande released her debut, "Yours Truly," which featured the multiplatinum Top 10 hit "The Way" and drew comparisons to Mariah Carey. At about the same time, Nickelodeon premiered "Sam & Cat," which at times was the network's most popular series. The network announced this month the show wouldn't have a second season.
Grande said she's learning to find herself outside of her TV character.
"I have a lot of mixed emotions about it because it's easier putting yourself out there as somebody else than it is to put your actual self out there," she said. "It took me a long time to embrace that and to become comfortable enough in my own skin and let down that sort of Cat Valentine shield."
Grande's fans from the show have carried over to her music career, a transition other entertainers have struggled with. When "The Way" was released last year, it sold an impressive 219,000 units in its first week. "Problem" sold a whopping 438,000 tracks in its debut week in May.
Grande is changing her image, but not drastically: She's traded her puffy, princess-style dresses for miniskirts paired with knee-high boots. And Grande says she's ready for the celebrity spotlight.
"I feel like I'm doing all the right things in my personal life to maintain a healthy space to make sure I am ready for all of this and ready for the attention that comes with this because, you know, I'm mostly focused on music, but I understand that there's a lot that comes with being a part of this industry," she said.
Grande's new album will also help her land an audience outside of young kids, thanks to its eclectic collaborators: The Weeknd, Childish Gambino, A$AP Ferg and Big Sean make appearances; EDM darlings David Guetta and Zedd work on tracks; and hitmakers like Max Martin, Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder and Rodney Jerkins are also part of the lineup. There's even a ballad written by One Direction's Harry Styles.
"It's interesting because when you hear it, it makes sense," said Grande, who picked the collaborators.
She added: "If I don't want to do it, it won't be done."

It's to be expected really wasn't it?We didn't really expect a government report to state the obvious that gangs of asian/moslim men are targeting vulnerable under-age white girls,that would upset the new world order.
We all know there is paedophiles in every community but not the scale we have seen uncovered in the muzzie community.It's not confined to the north as the Oxford gang proves it just how many are there???.
Another case of not wanting to upset a medieval cult for fear of what?that's what i like to know as their haven't the back bone for conventional stand up war so why are there scared of??
For St George.

Well Anonymous, One possible reason for the establishment's fear is that they have allowed themselves to become slaves to the oil producing nations, most of whom are muslim. If they upset them, then their, and our, cosy lives may be overturned in a moment. We are so vulnerable! Think about the consequences if the taps were to be shut off tomorrow. By the way, we are grateful for the return of Sarah!

"I haven't had to tread water in a long time," he Tweets after his domestic violence arrest
Talk about sending a message.
Chad Johnson (formerly Ochocinco), normally a vivacious Twitter presence with more than 3 million followers, has finally broken his silence – on Twitter – following his arrest for allegedly head-butting his new wife Evelyn Lozada. "I haven't had to tread water in a long time. " he wrote on Tuesday. "Special thank you to my fans…family…friends for keeping me afloat…"
Also, the football star and Dancing with the Stars alum changed his Twitter profile picture to a road sign pointing in two directions: "Rock" and "Hard Place."
Lozada, meanwhile, has been more vocal. On Tuesday, she filed for divorce after only 41 days of marriage – and she spoke out, saying, "Domestic violence is not okay, and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well."
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Shortest Marriages Ever
Since the arrest, Johnson, 34, who Tweets as @ochocinco (a nickname referencing his football number, 85, and the name he took officially for a few years), lost his contract with the Miami Dolphins, a scene that was documented on HBO's reality show Hard Knocks Tuesday.
And VH1 shelved his planned reality show, Ev and Ocho.

AMD to ship 65nm Athlons in December - report
Slotting into existing product line
AMD looks set to introduce its first 65nm processors in December this year, a quartet of dual-core Athlon 64 X2 CPUs, if a report citing sources who've seen the chip maker's latest roadmap are to be believed.
A story published today on Dutch-language site Tweakers.net highlights for 65nm Socket AM2 dual-core Athlon 64 X2s due by the end of the year: the 4000+, 4400+, 4800+ and 5000+. The four CPUs are clocked at 2GHz, 2.2GHz, 2.4GHz and 2.6GHz, respectively. They contain 2MB of L2 cache except the 1MB L2 5000+.
All four chips are said to sport TDPs rated at 65W - the same as Intel's 65nm dual-core Core 2 Duo processor.
AMD already offers 90nm Athlon 64 X2s with these model numbers and power draws, suggesting it views the arrival of 65nm more as a way to boost the yield of existing products than as the basis for a new product line.
The report also points to new 90nm Socket AM2 Semprons next month: the 2GHz 3500+ and the 2.2GHz 3800+, the former with 128KB of L2, the latter with 256KB. ®

Black Beast Raid - Added a new event that occurs if a Black Beast attack is finished with at least 60 packs defeated. This event contains high level enemies and a new unique reward; Chimeric Eyes. This raid event may be expanded in the future, and more raid events will be added over time.
Weapon Potentials - Added a new system. Weapon potentials are unique skills that weapon items can have; if it has one, it will be shown in the item description. To unlock this skill, you must first fill up its EXP gauge. Once it is full, you can take it to any Blacksmith for unlocking. To do so, you require a number of Chimeric Eyes equal to its Rarity. The potential skill will then be considered as active in your skill pool if the weapon is equipped in your main hand. Currently, 13 weapons have potentials. More will be added over the next few updates.
- Deadly Smile scaling changed to 50% STR and 50% WIL.
- Priest's Divine Judgment range increased to 8 (from 6).
- Martial Artist's Weathered Body restriction of armor + magic armor now only applies to the base armor and magic armor (so upgrades, etc. no longer count.)
- Martial Artist's Phoenix Talon now does magic damage.
- Boxer's Schwarz Sturm bonus damage per level reduced to 5% per level (from 10%).
- Boxer's Korkenzieher minimum range increased to 2 (from 1). (1.77d)
- Hyattr's Fire Breath now deals additional damage equal to 100% of Fire ATK if you have Destruction Energy active.
- Arbalest's Buster Cannon now reduces Phys. Def to 0% (instead of DEF to 0).
- Verglas's Ice Point Greaves now do magic damage.
- Battles that do not inflict wounds (IE spars) are now designated by battle indicators showing two wooden swords.
- Character Destiny for classes now acts as an unlock condition for all promoted classes of that base class. (Meaning, at class level 20, you'll unlock all promoted classes for it without needing to do anything else.)
- Raijin stat scaling changed to 30% STR, 30% SKI, 40% LUC (from 60% SKI, 40% LUC)
- If your player debug is turned on, you can now fight a prinny at the Statue of Memories. (This option added to make it easier to test certain things, at request.)
- Black Beast's defeat animation sped up.
* Bug Reports

Hadoop hiring & career considerations
As you may have heard, Hadoop and other big data professionals are in demand. The results for a Google search of "Hadoop jobs" might be large enough to qualify as big data itself. Many young and mid-career IT professionals alike are trying to ride the Hadoop elephant to better opportunities. To support this ambition, numerous training and certification programs have been created – although it must be noted that no certification is available through the Apache Hadoop foundation. IT professionals are often left wondering which skills and certifications are most valuable, while organizations with little or no big data experience wonder what specific skills and other qualities they need from their candidates.
Hadoop falls under the category of data science, but being successful with it is really more of an art. Scientific discovery is about producing repeatable results by applying the scientific method. Hadoop projects don't always follow established processes because today Hadoop is often used to try things that haven't been done before. That is why Hadoop success is part art and part science. At a minimum you'll need the technical knowledge to extract and process data, but the art is in finding new sources to extract data from, and new ways to process and express it.
Hadoop job titles and roles
Hadoop has similarities with other environments in that people are needed to develop applications, interpret the output, and manage the environment. In the Hadoop world, these roles are designated by titles like:
- Big data analyst
- Big data software engineer
- Big data architect
- BI specialist
- Data engineer
- Data scientist
- ETL developer
- Hadoop architect
- Hadoop developer
Some of the most commonly sought-after skills and certifications for these positions include:
- Experience with the Apache Hadoop stack, which includes HDFS, YARN, HBase, Hive, Pig, Spark, etc.
- Cloudera Certified Professional (CCP) certifications
- Hortonworks certifications, for example, HDPCD, HDPCA, et al
- MapR certifications – (MCHA, MCHD, MCHBD, MCSD)
- Shell scripting experience (especially Python, R, Unix shell and PowerShell)
- SQL/NoSQL experience
Individual organizations will likely only require certification by one of the principle Hadoop distribution vendors (Cloudera, Hortonworks, or MapR).
The Hadoop certification landscape
Considerations for non-technical skills
Finding a candidate that checks all the desired boxes for desired certifications, skills, and experience is no guarantee of success. Just like big data development itself, finding the right people for roles might be more art than science. Big data is about finding context and business value. It takes technical skill to create the Hadoop environment to process big data, but a different skillset to make it meaningful and actionable. If you are hiring, it is important to consider the business acumen of professionals on the big data team, even those in technical roles. If you are a candidate, you should be prepared to discuss how you can apply Hadoop/big data to help the business solve its problems and find new opportunities.
Flexibility is another important trait for Hadoop professionals. The Hadoop environment is growing and changing quickly. New tools and techniques are frequently introduced, and may enable Hadoop to do things it wasn't able to do before. Individuals that prefer working in a very structured, unchanging role may not be comfortable in this environment. On the other hand, individuals who do not need close supervision, and like being able to explore new technologies, and recommend new projects and approaches to their organization, may thrive in the fast-moving Hadoop world.
Here are some other observations about swimming in the Hadoop talent pool:
- It may be very difficult to find a candidate that has the specific skills an organization seeks and experience in its industry. Business acumen is more important for data scientist and advisory roles than for development and maintenance staff. Hadoop technical skills are transferrable among industries.
- Hadoop specialists that join organizations may know more about big data than the people who hired and will manage them. All parties should be aware of this possibility and be comfortable with it. For organizations with limited big data experience, it is important to hire candidates that communicate well and can present ideas and requests to make their case from a business, not overly technical, perspective.
Ideas for successful interviews
There is a lot of discussion and debate within the Hadoop community about the relative merits of the various components – for example, what's better – Pig, Spark or Hive? When should an organization use MapReduce and when should it consider alternatives? And so on. The interviewer and the candidate should each be prepared for such questions. In many cases there is no clear right or wrong answer, so an effective answer is one where the candidate can clearly and persuasively explain why he or she favors one option. Commenting on specific circumstances that favor each option demonstrates some understanding of business requirements and suggests the candidate is flexible. Similarly, be prepared to talk about different hardware and configuration options for the Hadoop infrastructure.
Candidates shouldn't be afraid to ask questions. Asking why the Hadoop infrastructure is being configured in a certain way, why different methods and technologies were selected, how workloads are being constructed, etc. will show that you will not just maintain a system, but are thinking about ways it could be made better to help the business.
Candidates should probe to see if the prospective employer will support their professional development, for example by sending the candidate to conferences, paying for certification courses, etc. Need to get a list of questions prepared, or prepare for your Hadoop interview?

Kampala is the capital city of Uganda. It is in the South Central part of the country close to the shores of Lake Victoria.
The people of Kampala, and Ugandans in general, are very kind and friendly and are very approachable.
Kampala, with a population of approximately 2.5 million, is by far the largest city in Uganda. It is not yet completely overwhelmed with traffic and sprawl like Nairobi and Lagos. Additionally, Kampala is very safe to walk around, even at night, a welcome fact for many a high-strung visitor arriving from Nairobi.
Uganda, as the recipient of massive amounts of Western aid money, hosts large numbers of Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Most of those NGOs are based in Kampala, so there is an established expat scene in the city.'
Get in[edit]
When coming to Kampala by air, you will actually arrive in the city of Entebbe, 35km (22mi) southwest of Kampala.
Typically you will be required to pay 50 USD for the entry visa, so have the money ready in cash (USD or USh) to pay at passport control - they do not accept credit cards. In any case check whether a visa is required before arrival for your specific nationality. Normally you will need to show international vaccination certificate for Yellow Fever, however the rule is not applied strictly.
You can get from Entebbe to Kampala:
Get around[edit]
There are three methods of public transportation: boda bodas, matatu, and special hires. The fastest method is the boda bodas; motorcycles that you see all over the city. You won't be in Kampala long before being propositioned by a Boda driver. If you're not interested, a simple 'no' will get them to leave you alone. Most of the time, you can get on the back of one for between 1,000 and 2,000 USh. However, you must make sure to agree on the fare before the ride begins. Men usually ride facing forward while women are expected to ride side saddle; very risky. Females can get away with riding facing the front, but may be accused of riding "like a man," though the locals are fairly understanding of female tourists doing this.
Boda bodas are extremely dangerous as their drivers will do whatever it takes to get you to your destination quickly. Expect to dart in front of and against traffic and even through crowds of pedestrians when necessary. Boda boda accidents account for most of the hospital visits and traffic fatalities in Kampala so ride with caution!
Matatus are a series of minibuses that follow relatively preset routes all over the city and many other parts of the country. Confusingly, they are known as taxis in Uganda. Each matatu has a driver and a conductor, both of whom will shout the destinations of their vehicle out the windows. Don't be frightened if you can't understand what they're saying. Ask one of them for your destination and you'll be told yes or no. When you get in, expect to be squeezed. Each vehicle is licensed to carry 14 people, but they will pack in as many will fit (and their belongings). If you don't like this it's a good idea to sit in the back of the vehicle, since usually the squeezing is limited to the first 2 rows. When you reach your destination, tell your conductor "Stage" and they will stop the van. There are also a number of staging points where the driver will stop and wait until they can fill the vehicle. This can take a few seconds or several minutes; just be patient. You pay the conductor when you exit, although some people give the conductor money while the vehicle is moving so that he can make change ahead of time. The normal fare is 1000-1500 USh per person when driving into the city (correct at July 2011).
If you aren't up for the thrill of the bodas and don't have time for a matatu, taxis, also called special hires, are readily available at most central locations. A few taxis have meters, but most have not. Be sure to agree on the fare before you get in the car or you may be in for a nasty shock. Don't be afraid to haggle either; most destinations can be reached for 15,000 or 20,000 USh.
Yellow taxi company is reliable, offering 24 hour service, phone 07131 33331, with fixed prices: 10,000UGX for trips within Kampala; 60,000UGX for trips to/from the airport. Prices correct at Dec2010. They also have an allocated single taxi rank space outside Nakumat.

Owino market is one of the largest in this region of Africa. The endless booths that line the chaotic alleys of Owino offer a mind-boggling array everything from homemade irons, to American hand-me-down-clothes with the Goodwill price tags still on then, to an amazing array of African foods, to any and everything else under the sun. Everything at Owinio starts cheap and gets cheaper with bargaining. Owino was completely destroyed by fire mid-February 2009, and is under reconstruction at the time of writing (16. March 09).
Owino is located near the center of Kampala, and any Boda or taxi driver will know how to get you there. Come prepared for a crowded maze of goods and people. Nakasero market is also interesting, more accessible from Kampala road and better suited for a (relaxed) stroll.
Nakasero market is a lot smaller and more pleasant than Owino, good for fruit and veg.
If you're in the market for souvenirs, check out the craft market on Buganda Road or the slightly larger crafts market behind the national theater near the Garden City complex. Also on Buganda Rd. across the street from the craft market you find a number of tailors if you are looking to have clothes sewn. And if you're tired from shopping the (upscale) cafe 1000 Cups of Coffee is a relaxing Mzungu hangout.
Also for crafts, there is a tourist market behind the National Theatre, Dewinton Road (nearish Nakumatt).
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum from Owino is Garden City. Garden City is Kampala's upscale mall, and if you are in the market for an Internet cafe, a Forex bureau, coffee shop, an expensive pair of shoes, a western-style grocery store, a travel agent, a cinema, and more under the same roof, then Garden City is for you. Garden City can be a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Kampala. Similarly Nakumatt Oasis is next to Garden City, and bit more upmarket.
Aside from Garden City, other western-style supermarkets include Shoprite Checkers (in Lugogo, on the Jinja road) and Uchumi (at Garden City) and Nakumatt.
Next door to the Shoprite is is another huge modern shop called Game which sells DIY stuff, camping chairs, torches, batteries etc. There is also a chicken and chips cafe, a souvenir shop, a couple of banks, a phone shop etc.
Eat[edit][add listing]
There are a number of dining options in Kampala ranging from the cheap and local to the very fancy (and very expensive).
Everywhere you go you'll see signs for little hole-in-the-wall restaurants (including some called "pork joints"). Most of these places don't have menus, so you'll have to ask what's available. Common options include meat (usually beef), rice, beans, Matoke (steamed green bananas, served mashed).Common dishes that can be found in the most of city restaurants and in the country side are Fish and Chips and chicken and chips. These meals vary in servings and will cost between 1500UGX to 3000UGX . Be sure to ask the price ahead of time so that you don't get surprised later on. Prices are typically 500 UGX per item, but can vary. Sodas and bottled water will cost more too. Matoke with groundnut sauce can be delicious!
For a street snack, the famous "Rolex" is very enjoyable. It is made out of a chapati (kind of a pancake) wrapped around an omelet, with cabbage and tomatoes. Expect to pay between 700-1000 UGX. Other street food also includes roast chicken, goat and beef. This is usually served with a chips or salad or both. Pricing is per piece between 800UGX - 1500UGX. If you are looking for something healthier but still want to enjoy the experience of roadside eating, the best bargain is with roasted corn or maize. The white maize is slow roasted on a charcoal grill and is available for 500-600UGX per cob. Freshness is guaranteed as Maize is a common plant found throughout Uganda. Usually the vendors will have a stall close to a source of maize plantation.
Jinja Road is a good place for a variety of meals.
There are many Indian Restaurants in Kampala, like Haandi on Kampala road, Masala chat and Govinda on Dewington Road, Khana Khazana and Khyber Pass Speke Hotel behind NSSF, and Indian Summer in Tankhill Parade.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Do not drink the tap water. Spring water brands like Rwenzori and Blue Wave can be trusted.
If you feel like going out, go out, you should be safe, just exercise common sense, Ugandans are very sociable. There are several clubs such as Club Silk and Ange Noir.
For a relaxed drink with an international crowd head to 'Just Kicking' Bar in Kisementi, a few minutes from the city centre. It gets very lively during weekend nights and whenever a major football match is screened. Or if you want a quite and tranquil environment, head to The Lawns Restaurant & Lounge Bar. The Lawns offers beautiful garden lounge bar. Try their wide range of cocktails or wine with amazing starters.
Uganda does, however, have a serious drink problem with the U.N. saying it has the highest alcohol comsumption rate in the world[11], much of this is sold on backstreets, hence official figures don't rate it so highly. Don't let this put you off, the city is still safe even with this undesired tag.
Coffee. Bancafe, at Nakumat (Oasis) is some of the best coffee, good espresso and they sell beans and ground coffee (at December 2010). Cafe Javas, also at Nakumat, is also good. As of September 2011, Good African Coffee in Lugogo (next to Shoprite) offered an excellent array of coffee concoctions and a good selection of food. Looks like a coffee shop/cafe with outdoor seating, but also offers a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu with burgers, steaks, fish, roasted chicken, pitas, salads, etc.
Juice In Dewinton Road, just up the street from Govinda's is a very good juice cafe, offering a huge selection of juices, including various herbal remedies.
Call KN Okot on +256 782 880575 for city tour on foot. You will be able to see any place of your choice including shopping malls, bars, churches, restaurants, museums, craft fares etc.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Stay safe[edit]
Kampala is a relatively safe city. It is fairly safe to walk or take matatus around some areas at night, but don't take unecessary chances.
Boda-boda motorcycle taxis are notoriously dangerous, but are sometimes so convenient it's difficult not to use them. If you do decide to use them regularly consider buying a helmet (they are not provided by the driver). You could also use the SafeBoda App or Uber to hail a driver. SafeBodas are equipped with Helmets for the Passengers and even supply a Hairnet. Fares are shown in App and you can see the ratings of your driver beforehand. If you dont want to install the app but do want the protection of a helmet you can identify safeboda drivers by their orange vests and hail them that way. Although it defies logic at first glance, you might want to consider taking a boda-boda in which the driver does not have a helmet. Drivers without helmets tend to drive slower, and as they never have helmets for the passengers, this means that you are a bit safer.
Don't plan on using your credit card. If it is accepted, there is a good chance of fraud. Safer is withdrawing money from ATM's using your VISA-card. Many ATMs take VISA. Stanbic is the only bank that takes MasterCard branded cards.
To stay safe, also be aware of the large number of prostitutes in Rock Garden at Speke Hotel. There are several stories about guys being duped, drinking beers laced with rohypnol, ending up short on cash, cell phones, credit cards and bank cheques.
Internet cafes[edit]
Get out[edit]
