Happy folks at Carnestation
Samgyup-sal is a very popular dish here in korea. You will see the locals cooking it up almost anywhere. Last night, durring a pouring rain, I saw some college students grilling it up underneath an overpass here at Kookmin university.
It is basically pork strips which are grilled, dipped in a sesame oil sauce and wrapped in lettuce. Some people add rice, or kimchi, or other stuff to it. It is really up to the person consuming it. But as is the korean tradition, you cook it yourself at the table.
Anyway. The restaurant basicaly has a large selection of meat which you scoop up and take back to your table to grill. For 22,000 won it is all you can eat and drink (which includes alcoholic beverages) for a three hour period. I have never eaten so much food in my life! Plus, since you are making it yourself, it is cooked to order, how cool is that!
Favorite Dish: While Samgyup-sal is the big food there, there is another type called Mok-sal which is better. It is a thicker cut of pork, and typically does not have the bones still in it. It is also more flavorful. Mix that with a little Shigum-chi (A sort of spinach salad) and it is quite tasty!
For those who don't eat pork, look for Kalbi, it is marinated beef, also a bit thicker and without bones. But is quite tasty too.
Address: Near the Korean World Trade Center
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: Take the green line to Samseoung (219) station, exit at exit 4 and keep walking. It is about 2 blocks down on the left and in a basement.

The main dining area at OB Stadium
All you can eat Bulgogi and all you can drink OB lager! Sounds wonderful right? It is, the bulgogi is a little bit lacking when compared to a place like carne station, but it is still quite tasty and the price is right. In Ohio, when I go for Korean, one order of bulgogi and an OB lager costs about 18 bucks. Here it is all you can eat and drink for about 17,000 Won.
Favorite Dish: Everything is good, everything is meat though.

It's all about meat in Korea. Particularly Bulgogi. But this is typical of a samgyupsal place where you can grill your own. The bring the meat, you cook it, you eat it. Plus, for some reason, they have the best Kimchee I have tasted in Seoul.
Favorite Dish: Come for the Samgyupsal, sty for the kimchee.
Address: Across from the YMCA

Boshintang, for those who do not know what it is, is dog. Traditionally, it is dog meat served in a stew. There are other forms of it too, it can be steamed along with spinach too.
I was invited out with some of the people I work with who are sort of high up in the government. Not having been there too long and having already made a few cultural mistakes, I was determined to not mess up this lunch. Unfortunately it was here.
As we walked in I could hear dogs barking, not a good sign. On the muzak was the theme from lassie, and then there was the boiling pot, with its lid ominously shaking in front of me.
Yeah, I tried it. I almost made myself sick though. A few things to know. First, the dogs are specially bred, they are not your house dogs. Next, there are two parts to the dog. One looks like normal meat, the other is sort of a fatty part that looks like a strip of liver, but clearer. Stay away from the second. It is disgusting. Third, this is a very expensive dish, so if you don't think you have the stomach for it, don't try it.
Favorite Dish: Nothing. I made myself sick by thinking I could stomach it. In fact, I couldn't eat any meat for a week after this experience, and still get a bit queasy when I think of biting into that gooey fatty part. Nasty!
Address: Can't remember, was too sick.
Price Comparison: most expensive
Directions: Somewhere on the near Downtown, I think. See the webpage. I do remember it seemed to take forever by car from citty hall though.

Kim Bap Nala is a little hole in the wal ltype Korean place that can relaly be found almost anywhere around Seoul. But this is by far my favorite. There is nothing fancy about the place, if you are not on the floor eating, you will be at plastic chairs, and the room space is cramped. It is a college hangout behind Kookmin University in Bugak.
The menu is pretty much what the name says. They have dishes consisting mostly of rice, noodles and seaweed. All local dishes, but all seem to be very good for the price you pay for them. I don't think I have ever spent more than 5 bucks for a lunch there most of the time it is clsoer to 3 bucks, and it is always great, and always filling. Plus, the ladies who run it are really nice and western friendly. Although, neither of them speaks english, so know a little korean.
Like I said, it looks like an average joint that you could find almost anywhere in Seoul. It just happens to be my favorite place to eat.
Favorite Dish: Well I have three. first, is the Tongatsu. It is a breaded pork, mainly a Japanese dish, but they do it very well here, and with a sweet BBQ sauce on top. Second, Nalmyoon. It is a cold soup with buckwheat noodles. Perfect thing to cool you off after a hot summers day. But the best thing on the menu is the pork over rice. It comes in a semi-spicy sauce with seaweed, lettuce, bean sprouts, and a little spinach. I like to mix it in with some kimchee for some added spice though.
They also have a good Bi-bim-bap, but I prefer the first three.
Address: Behind Kookmin University
Price Comparison: least expensive
Directions: Take the 1112 bus from girum station to its final stop at Kookmin Univ. get off and walk towards the women's dorm. There is a pass that goes through and takes you down a hill. You come out at a road. Make a right and it will be next to the "Buy The Way."
Price: less than US$10

This looks good, Rossini is better
Probably the best Italian I have had in Korea has been at Rossini. Located just across the street from the Constitutional Court, it is easy to find too.
The ambiance is very modern, there are white walls with black dividers and modern lighting. A mix of Italian and Korean music is played, and the staff is well versed in Italian phrases. From the outward glance, it would not appear to be an upscale restaurant, but does indeed cater to an unpscale business and yuppie type clientele.
Favorite Dish: There is a Fettucini Alfredo which is unbelieveable! This is the first place in Korea where I think they have mastered the use of cheese in a recepie. While I cannot do seafood, my dining companions all raved about the seafood dishes too. The pumpkin soup was probably my favorite thing though.
The meals run anywhere from $15-35 per plate. This includes a salad, soup, bread and a small desert though.
The wine list is very good, but a bit pricey. We had a nice Brazilian Saint Helena Red 2002 with our meals that was around $127 per bottle. Was it good, oh yeah, was it worth it? Debateable. I like wine and enjoyed it. But I would have been happy with a lesser brand.
Price Comparison: more expensive than average
Directions: Take the orange line to Anguk station. Exit towards the Constitutional Court, but stay on the side of the road with Donut place, not the LG 25 and the court. Keep walking, it is a little past the crosswalk on the right.

The Hard Rock Cafe, Seoul style!
When homesick for American Food and American Culture, there is only one place to turn, The Hard Rock Cafe!
Probably the best Hard Rock I have been to, anyplace on earth! The had the best overall selection of memorabilia from groups liek the Who, Rolling Stones, The Beatles (a kdoc favorite!), and Jimi Hendrix! But more importantly, the most beautiful waitresses anywhere on the planet. Most spoke English, and all provided incredible service.
The food was well above par for what you get at a Hard Rock in the states, and surprisingly, the burger I ordered well done didn't come out with any pink areas. Everything was good, including the Hunka, Hunka Chocolate-Banana Love, Ice Cream which didn't have that Asian Ice Cream taste to it.
Favorite Dish: Got to get a burger!!!! But the "Osso Buco" is worth the effort to get there for. It is a Pork Shank served with bacon-garlic potatoes, and veggies!

Renegade: The Making of a Presidentby Richard Wolffe
View All Available Formats & Editions
This book is the previously untold and epic story of how a
Before the White House and Air Force One, before the TV ads and the enormous rallies, there was the real Barack Obama: a man wrestling with the momentous decision to run for the presidency, feeling torn about leaving behind a young family, and figuring out how to win the biggest prize in politics.
This book is the previously untold and epic story of how a political newcomer with no money and an alien name grew into the world's most powerful leader. But it is also a uniquely intimate portrait of the person behind the iconic posters and the Secret Service code name Renegade.
Drawing on a dozen unplugged interviews with the candidate and president, as well as twenty-one months covering his campaign as it traveled from coast to coast, Richard Wolffe answers the simple yet enduring question about Barack Obama: Who is he?
Based on Wolffe's unprecedented access to Obama, Renegade reveals the making of a president, both on the campaign trail and before he ran for high office. It explains how the politician who emerged in an extraordinary election learned the personal and political skills to succeed during his youth and early career. With cool self-discipline, calculated risk taking, and simple storytelling, Obama developed the strategies he would need to survive the onslaught of the Clintons and John McCain, and build a multimillion-dollar machine to win a historic contest.
In Renegade, Richard Wolffe shares with us his front-row seat at Obama's announcement to run for president on a frigid day in Springfield, and his victory speech on a warm night in Chicago. We fly on the candidate's plane and ride in his bus on an odyssey across a country in crisis; stand next to him at a bar on the night he secures the nomination; and are backstage as he delivers his convention speech to a stadium crowd and a transfixed national audience. From a teacher's office in Iowa to the Oval Office in Washington, we see and hear Barack Obama with an immediacy and honesty never witnessed before.
Renegade provides not only an account of Obama's triumphs, but also examines his many personal and political trials. We see Obama wrestling with race and politics, as well as his former pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright. We see him struggling with life as a presidential candidate, a campaign that falters for most of its first year, and his reaction to a surprise defeat in the New Hampshire primary. And we see him relying on his personal experience, as well as meticulous polling, to pass the presidential test in foreign and economic affairs.
Renegade is an essential guide to understanding President Barack Obama and his trusted inner circle of aides and friends. It is also a riveting and enlightening first draft of history and political psychology.
From the Hardcover edition.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
The Washington Post
—Ben Bradlee, Washington Post
"If you really want to know what happened inside the Obama campaign, this is the one book that will take you there. My jaw dropped time and time again reading details that, despite the coverage, were never revealed in the long campaign. A clear-eyed, up-close look at the campaign, Renegade is the one Obama book that should not be missed."
—Michele Norris, All Things Considered
"A superb achievement. With an almost painterly eye, compelling insights, and extraordinary access to Barack Obama and his inner circle, Richard Wolffe's Renegade tells the hidden, dramatic story of the 2008 campaign and also reveals much we did not know about the 44th president's life before politics. Wolffe's brisk, well-written narrative is fully in the tradition of Theodore White and Richard Ben Cramer, capturing a pivotal presidential contest dominated by one of the most luminous figures in modern American history."
—Michael Beschloss, author of Presidential Courage
"Many journalists covered the 2008 presidential campaign for newsrooms and blogvilles. Not the intrepid Richard Wolffe. With gumshoe persistence he tracked Barack Obama's historic march to victory with grace and cunning. Renegade offers a deft mix of biography, personal reflection, British wit, and old-style journalism. Destined to be a classic in its genre."
—Douglas Brinkley, professor of history, Rice University
"Politics is a lot like basketball–complete with drives up the middle, clutch rebounding, and smart head fakes. In Renegade, Richard Wolffe takes us inside the game through unparalleled access to candidate-turned-president Obama and through his own canny eye and wit. I learned something new on practically every page."
—Gwen Ifill, Washington Week in Review and The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer
"This is an insightful, unusually moving, fully observed portrait of the improbable candidate and complicated man who would be president, a riveting backstage drama set just at the moment America's third act prepared to debut. If Jefferson started the exalted but flawed exercise and Lincoln enlarged it, then with Richard Wolffe's wonderful book–graced as it is with a journalist's eye and a historian's breadth and command–we are granted the gift of access to the second skinny lawyer from Illinois who would save our country. Marvelous."
—Ken Burns, award-winning filmmaker

Read an Excerpt
Election day starts, in the small hours, where the candidate has spent most of his last 626 days: on a plane. Stuck to the gray plastic walls of the pressurized cabin are snapshots of his odyssey across cities and fields, mountains and deserts, continents and oceans. A snowstorm in Iowa, a press conference in Downing Street. Camera crews dozing onboard, Secret Service agents sharing a joke. The candidate signing books, reporters holding audio recorders close to his face. Now, between the empty candy wrappers and the drained beer bottles, he walks back one last time from his spacious first-class section, through his staffers' business-class seats, to the coach class of the press. "You know, whatever happens, it's extraordinary you guys have shared this process with us, and I just want to say thank you and I appreciate you," he says, shaking everyone's hand. One reporter asks how he's feeling, but he insists that he won't answer questions. Even obvious ones. He thanks the young TV producers who have trailed his every move from the start, admires the photos on the overhead bins, then pokes fun at a magazine reporter who was parodied on Saturday Night Live. He gives a birthday kiss to a young photo-grapher, shakes hands with every member of the aircrew, and finishes with a simple farewell: "OK, guys, let's go home."
The last twenty-four hours felt like the longest day of the long campaign. It began with the news that the last living person to raise him through childhood, his grandmother Toot, had lost her struggle against cancer. At his penultimate stop in Charlotte, North Carolina, it rains so hard, and for so long, that it's hard to see the streaks running down both his cheeks. They don't come obviously or immediately. Hardened by two years of campaigning and many more years of self-control, his voice never breaks as he announces the news. "Some of you heard that my grandmother who helped raise me passed away early this morning," he says calmly. "Look, she has gone home. And she died peacefully in her sleep, with my sister at her side. So there's great joy as well as tears. I'm not going to talk about it too long, because it's hard a little to talk about." His face remains composed as he talks about the "bittersweet" sensation of losing his grandmother while his campaign draws to a close. He betrays little emotion as he describes her as "a quiet hero" and sketches out her life story. But when he starts to read his stump speech from his teleprompter, when he talks about the broken politics in Washington, he surreptitiously strokes one cheek with his thumb. He condemns eight years of failed Bush policies, and casually strokes the other cheek. Two minutes later, as the crowd chants "Yes We Can," he finally takes a handkerchief out of his pocket and wipes his face down. It is one of the rarest moments of the entire election: a display of raw emotion from a candidate whose mask almost never slips before the dozens of cameras that trail him every day. Even then, at his most vulnerable point, he defers the moment and dissipates its impact.
The cracks in his self-control spread to those closest to him. Standing at the back of a leaking tent in a parched yellow field is the candidate's friend and strategist David Axelrod. "He's at peace with what happened. It wasn't unexpected. He just wishes he had some time to deal with it in his own way," Axelrod says. "But I'm finding this hard right now. The enormity of it all is almost overwhelming. I love him; he's my friend. This election is ridiculously long and there are many stupid things about it. But you really have to earn the presidency. And he's been tested. You can't hide it or fake it."
Yet the candidate has partly passed the test by hiding himself away. By the time he reaches the final campaign rally in Manassas, Virginia, he has regained full control. Close to the site of two Confederate victories in the Civil War, the nation's first major African American nominee—a Democrat, no less—speaks to some 100,000 people at Prince William Fairgrounds. As a community organizer two decades earlier, Obama often feared that no one would show up to his meetings. Now there are so many people the traffic is snarled for hours and miles around. These crowds, he says, have enriched him, moved him, and lifted him up when he was down. Now he's so inspired he tells his signature story from Greenwood, South Carolina. The tale of a little woman who lifted his spirits, on a dismal day early in the campaign, with a simple chant: "Fired Up! Ready to Go!"
"It shows you what one voice can do," he concludes. "One voice can change a room. And if a voice can change a room, it can change a city! And if it can change a city, it can change a state! And if it can change a state, it can change a nation! And if it can change a nation, it can change the world!"
Yet at the start of this historic election day, in the early hours of the morning, the candidate seems weighed down. Determined and spirited perhaps, but also crushed with exhaustion and emotion. The gray wisps on his head are now visible from a distance, like the lines scored close to his eyes and across his cheeks. He sounds fired up, but looks ready to drop.
It is one in the morning when he lands at Chicago's Midway airport. The polls have already closed in the small New Hampshire town of Dixville Notch, which has not voted for a Democratic president since 1968, but favors Obama by fifteen votes to six. The candidate walks down the stairs from his plane and steps into his armored SUV to a flash of cameras. Behind him is a new addition to his motorcade: another SUV filled with a black-clad, heavily armed Counter Assault Team.
Obama liked to describe his journey from freshman senator to presidential front-runner as an improbable one. It was also preposterous and quixotic, at least in the judgment of the greatest political minds in the nation's capital. In February 2007, as Obama was readying the formal launch of his campaign, President Bush cast his expert eye across the contenders who wanted to succeed him. Sitting in the yellow oval room of the White House, on the second-floor residence of the executive mansion, the president conceded he had no idea who would win the GOP nomination. But he was clear about the other side. "I think Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee," he said with his feet propped on a glass coffee table. "I'll tell you why. I think she will because I think she has staying power, star power, and money power. She brings a big orga?nization that is well funded right off the bat, and one of the lessons I learned is you have to be able to play the long ball." As for Obama, who was on the verge of announcing his candidacy, Bush was deeply doubtful. "Certainly a phenom and very attractive. The guy is very smart," he said before realizing he sounded like Joe Biden, who had just stepped into the racial minefield for calling Obama "articulate and bright and clean." Bush was so taken aback with the public criticism of Biden that he called in his African American secretary of state Condoleezza Rice. "I don't get it," he said. "Condi, what's going on?" Rice told him what everyone else had said: that white people don't call each other articulate.
No matter. Only the tough and battle-scarred could survive, and Obama wasn't one of them. "This primary election process is rough," Bush said, popping an endless stream of peanuts into his mouth. "It's really tough and rightly so. It exacerbates your flaws and tests your character. And I don't think he's been around long enough to stand it. I may be wrong. The process may forge a steel that I didn't anticipate."
In some ways the forty-third president was correct: Obama was untested, unforged. Not even his closest aides and friends knew whether he could really survive the trial by fire of a presidential election. There was only one way to find out. Winston Churchill once said, "No part of the education of a politician is more indispensable than the fighting of elections." Well, the education of Barack Obama was protracted and often painful. He was a political upstart, the candidate named Renegade by the Secret Service, and he repeatedly broke the rules. He did not wait his turn to run, and had no resources in the bank when he set out. He sunk his money into lowly fieldwork, and rejected public finance. He took his campaign overseas, and staged his acceptance speech in a football stadium. He kept his tone mostly positive, and spent millions on a prime-time TV show. His middle name was Hussein, and he wasn't even conventionally African American. No, he didn't look like the presidents on the dollar bills, as he once quipped. For that matter, he didn't look or sound like other candidates for president. But he was highly disciplined and driven, supremely self-confident, and he possessed the rare ability to act both as a team player and a star athlete. Although he was a renegade, he was also a cautious and pragmatic one, who played by the rules when he needed them to win. On the surface, his performance was as steady as his resting heart rate of just sixty beats a minute. But his private moods were far more variable: he could be cocky and grumpy, impatient and withdrawn. He was often an inscrutable character. Yet he struck a rare emotional connection with those around him, no matter the size of the crowd or the ego of the person he was wooing.
There was a nagging question that cropped up at the beginning and the end of the election. It was posed at the start of his presidency and will likely be posed as his term finishes as America's commander in chief: who is Barack Obama? The mystery of Obama may seem simplistic but is nonetheless hard to unwrap. Simple questions about a president can still be stubborn and enduring ones: there remains plenty of debate about President Bush's intellect. But while there is a long Bush record to study for clues, there is relatively little that is public about the private Obama. In fact, the best evidence lies in the extraordinary presidential campaign of 2008, in which the candidate exposed himself to intense examination. He wrote one memoir and one highly personal political treatise, both of which were minutely dissected through the course of the election. He debated two dozen times and delivered hundreds of speeches. Yet something remained hidden about his character, suppressed about his moods, deep-rooted about his thoughts. And something remained unsettling for many pundits and voters who couldn't quite pin him down, as a black leader or pop celebrity, as a fiery preacher or closet radical.
In one way at least, his critics were surely correct: Obama lacked Washington experience. But the voters seemed to find reassurance in the way he campaigned; the way he built from scratch the most formidable election machine in history; the way he endured twenty-one months of public examination and private stress. They may not have all the answers about Obama, but the ones they heard and watched seemed satisfying. The 2008 election was by far the biggest undertaking of Obama's life, the only real executive experience on his résumé, and the biggest clue to his future performance as president. It changed America's view of itself, the world's view of America, his friends' view of Obama, and Obama's view of himself. It was a drama of political biography performed on the biggest stage in the world: an outlandish, extraordinary spectacle that veered from inspiration to exasperation, from the mundane to the faintly insane.
This is the making of a president, witnessed from a front-row seat, as it unfolded from its first day to its last. With the help of more than a dozen one-on-one interviews with the candidate and then president—as well as scores of sessions with his trusted aides, friends, and family—this account is an attempt to translate the enigma of Barack Obama, to answer the questions of who he is and what lay behind his rise from freshman senator to forty-fourth president of the United States of America.
Six hours after Obama lands at Midway, the polls are open across the East Coast and Midwest, as they are in the Fourth Ward, Twenty-third Precinct, in Chicago—otherwise known as Beulah Shoesmith Elementary School—where voters are already lining up outside. A few blocks from the candidate's home in Kenwood, the school is a humble, brown brick building that is showing its age. Inside the cinder-block gym, the amber wooden floor feels warm but the old backboards have no markings on them. In three corners, there are flimsy voting booths that collapse into the form of a small plastic briefcase; when opened for voting, the handles stick over the top. Affixed to the walls are bilingual voting instructions that are entirely ignored. Election officials have squeezed reporters, photographers, and TV crews onto a three-foot-high stage, draped with burnt orange curtains. Their intention is to stop the media from interfering with the voting process, but the stage only serves to elevate and exaggerate their presence. Unlike every other school gym the campaign has visited for the last twenty-one months, this one has no musical sound track, no adoring crowds stuffed onto bleachers, no speeches amplified through towers of loudspeakers.
The crowd is two-thirds African American, one-third white, and entirely informal—with two exceptions. The only people in jackets are the Secret Service agents gathered at the door and a handful of Obama's anxious aides: his senior adviser, Robert Gibbs, wearing his trademark blue blazer, white shirt, and khaki chinos; and his body guy, Reggie Love, in a blue jacket, campaign T-shirt, and blue jeans. A single Chicago police officer stalks the gym sternly, her braided hair tumbling down from an old-fashioned peaked hat over the back of her bulletproof vest. The voters are a cross section of the mixed neighborhood close to the University of Chicago: students in sweatshirts, South Siders, and the professional class that lives in the large homes close to the candidate. "I voted for Barack Obama," says Addison Braendel, a forty-three-year-old lawyer who lives four houses down from the Obamas. "He's sort of a hometown favorite."
Across the gym, glancing repeatedly toward the cameras, is a balding, overweight, late-middle-aged man with an earring in one ear, and a New York Times under his arm. He wears a black short-sleeved shirt unbuttoned to reveal a long-sleeved red T-shirt hanging loosely over faded blue jeans. When he starts posing for photos with voters, his face becomes clear: Bill Ayers, the former 1960s radical and proxy for Republican attacks on Obama's supposedly soft touch on terrorists. Only here, he looks like a schlub, more threatening to a cinnamon roll than to the Pentagon. The candidate once dismissed him as "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," but now Obama's staffers are alarmed at his showing up in the neighborhood. Back at campaign headquarters, Obama's tightly wound campaign manager, David Plouffe, pops off an e-mail in disbelief: "What is this? The bar in Star Wars?"
At the back of the stage, Reggie Love perches on the edge of a table to text-message on his cherished iPhone. Nobody knows the candidate better than Love, who plays the role of little brother and personal assistant rolled into one. He accompanies him to the gym in the morning, hands him water and snacks through the day, adjusts the height of his teleprompter before every event, watches ESPN with him in their downtime, and entertains him with stories of his after-hours partying. So how bad was the last day of the campaign for the candidate? "It was a tough day for him," he says. "All the feelings about the end of the campaign and everything with his grandmother. But it would have been a lot worse if he hadn't gone out to Hawaii a week before. That was a good thing to do." Drained by sleep deprivation, Love felt revived by last night's encore about being fired up and ready to go. "That got us through Iowa," he said with a tired smile. "It got us all the way through." And now that he's gone all the way through, was it worth it—all the early mornings, all the rallies, all those days on the plane? "Are you kidding me? Hell, yeah," he says as he relishes the prospect of change. "This is the start of the next phase. All those people who say they're going to get their lives back—it doesn't happen that way. It's like Barack says: All these people go to Washington to serve other people but they forget why they should be there. They just hang on to what they've got."

Pakistan's Sui Southern Gas May Spend $270 Million After Floods
Sui Southern Gas Co., Pakistan's second largest distributor of the fuel, plans to spend $270 million to repair pipelines and curb losses after damage caused by the nation's deadliest floods, its managing director said.
"The World Bank may approve a loan of almost $200 million dollars by December this year," Faizullah Abbasi said in an interview at his Karachi office yesterday. "We will also spend another six billion rupees ($70 million) to curtail our losses."
Pakistan's gas distributors are guaranteed a fixed return according to a government formula. Sui Southern earns a 17 percent return on its assets, which include its pipeline network and compressor stations.
The floods first struck the southwestern province of Baluchistan on July 22 before inundating Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh, the country's most populous provinces. The event destroyed Sui infrastructure valued at four billion rupees.
Pakistan gas distribution companies also face a penalty if their gas losses, through theft or because of decrepit pipelines, exceed a threshold. On Sept. 24, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority, a government agency responsible for setting tariffs, increased the threshold to 7 percent of total gas purchased from 5.5 percent, reducing the company's penalties.
"We lose 10 billion rupees annually because of our losses of 35,000 cubic feet a day," Abbasi said. "Our aim is to bring these losses to zero in five years, and then invest in our own infrastructure. That way we won't be dependent on bank loans anymore, and that is our aim."
Gas Reserves
Sui Southern provided 1.1 billion cubic feet a day of gas to its 2.2 million customers in Sindh and Baluchistan provinces in the year ended June 30, 2009, according to Abbasi. Its biggest users are power producers and fertilizer makers.
Pakistan's natural gas reserves were estimated at 28.9 trillion cubic feet as of Dec. 31, according to the government's 2009 Energy Year Book. Natural gas accounted for 44 percent of Pakistan's energy consumption mix in the year ended June 30, the biggest share.
Sui Southern's net income rose to 4.39 billion rupees in the year ended June 30, from 257.5 million rupees a year earlier. Its shares, which have more than doubled this year, fell 2 percent to 28.85 rupees on the Karachi Stock Exchange yesterday.
A $1.25 billion Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline is targeted to be completed by 2013, providing fuel that will help ease a shortfall. Pakistani companies supply 3.2 billion cubic feet per day, against demand of 3.8 billion cubic feet.
Pipeline Hopes
"The company still needs to hold its breath and pray the government succeeds in implementing the Iran gas pipeline deal," said Abdul Azeem, an analyst at Invest Capital and Securities. "Pakistan is said to receive 2.5 billion cubic feet of gas through this deal, which will re-energize the country."
Abbasi said demand for gas is increasing as much as 10 percent a year, while supplies remain stagnant.
"The demand and supply deficit may increase to two billion cubic feet a day in the next two years, if new reserves are not tapped," he said.
The government is setting up plants to produce Synthetic Net Gas, a kind of natural gas made by mixing liquefied petroleum gas and air, in Sindh and Baluchistan with an initial investment of $1.5 billion, he said. These plants will generate 100 million cubic feet of gas a day and may be ready by December 2011.
Floating Terminal
A program that covers the import of $2 billion of liquefied natural gas and the construction of a $250 million floating terminal will begin by 2014, after it was initially set to start in 2011.
"We were hit by litigation when we had announced the program in 2007," Abbasi said. "Now the matter has been settled, but we still need the government's formal approval in its next finance meeting, and that will take time."
Sui Southern, 60 percent owned by the government, is owed 43 billion rupees in delayed payments from power producers. Accumulated delayed payments between the country's fuel suppliers, oil refiners, gas distributors and electricity producers amount to some 500 billion rupees.
The Karachi Electric Supply Co., which supplies power to Pakistan's biggest city, owes the gas company 21 billion rupees, according to a newspaper advertisement on Oct. 4.
Sui's 3,200-kilometer (1,990 mile) transmission network extends from Sui in Baluchistan to Karachi in Sindh, according to the company's website.

Harris County Precinct One: On the Hunt for Unpaid Warrants
Hey all you scofflaws out there -- Harris County Precinct One officials would like you to know it's time to pay the freakin' piper! Yeah, that's right, Precinct One constables will hit the streets for a warrant run October 12, which gives you enough time to either pay for any outstanding warrants or DVR your favorite shows while you're in the pokey.
"We are targeting people who have outstanding warrants for misdemeanor offenses," Precinct One Constable Alan Rosen stated in a press release.
Any of you fugitives out there can go to court at 1302 Preston or 7300 North Shepherd to pay fines.
According to the press release, "Many of the warrants stem from traffic violations and often people forget about the ticket and fail to handle the matter....The amount of money paid once the arrest is made is a stiff penalty [heh...they said 'stiff'] in comparison to what could be paid to resolve the matter prior to being arrested."
It's nice of the constable to give folks a heads-up. We're sure most people want to take care of their obligations, it's just that they get sidetracked. Or, as in our case, the traffic ticket gets relegated to the backseat, where it's quickly buried in a disgusting mound of fast-food wrappers and losing scratch-off tickets. So we hope everyone pays their balance and gets back to a crime-free life.

ROME (Reuters) - Italian President Giorgio Napolitano said on Monday he had agreed to his re-election as head of state because of an unprecedented political deadlock and threatened to resign if politicians failed to implement vital reforms.
Reading the riot act to Italy's politicians at his inauguration in parliament, Napolitano bitterly attacked their failures and irresponsibility, especially in failing to reform a dysfunctional electoral law.
Occasionally choking back tears, he said he had reluctantly agreed to an unprecedented second term at the age of 87, because of alarm over the political situation.

Ness was probably, if you could control him and use him right, the best character in Smash Bros 64.... In smash bros melee, because of all the characters, he wasn't as pwnsome.... I still love him though because it is hard to control him and his b moves and slow but awesome.... And his A moves, the bat and yoyo, can set up some great combos...
(of course my statement is my opinion... don't scream at me...) Its sad that I have to say that just so people don't get AS mad....

Designs of a square-ring microstrip antenna with a cross-strip, and a square microstrip antenna with a cross-slot for circular polarisation (CP) operation, are proposed and experimentally studied. Both the cross-strip and cross-slot are of equal arm lengths, and the two proposed designs can make their respective fundamental-mode patch surface current path much longer than a simple square microstrip antenna of the same size. By adjusting the coupling cross-aperture in the ground plane of the microstrip feed line, the fundamental mode can further be split into two near-degenerate orthogonal modes with equal amplitudes and 90° phase difference. Results show that, for a fixed frequency, a reduction in antenna size of 24~30% can be achieved by using the proposed designs. Details of the proposed antenna design are described, and experimental results for the CP performance are presented and discussed

I love writing reviews for the places I go so here we go. This is a very honest review. Stayed here for 7 days with my boyfriend. We don't find things to complain a lot. Yeah, there was some stains on the carpet, paint peeling off the cabinets, and funky smells lingering throughout the hotel but we don't really care. We realize you get what you pay for. They do not provide daily cleaning service. If you stay 8 or more nights you get ONE cleaning service a week. 2 plates, 2 cups, 2 spoons, 1 knife and 2 saucers were provided. No pots and pans. Big flat screen tv. No DVD player. There is also no dish soap but there was a dish drying rack. Bathroom was very clean. 2 towels, 2 hair towels, and 2 washcloths. If you want clean ones you have to go the front desk and exchange them. Elevator is a little dirty and old.There is a pool but it's very small. 5ft deep as well. Parking lot is quite small. Location is pretty good. It's located to a lot of places. Fully stocked vending machine, yet not working for almost our whole stay. Walls are kind of thin, sometimes you can hear the neighbors. Not a huge deal for us either. If you have a family be prepared to buy many basic kitchen supplies or at least bring them with you. Pots, pans, spices, oil, dish soap. Please keep in mind there is no cleaning service and there is also no broom in your room. You will get crumbs all over the kitchen floor and have no way to really clean it up unless you want to buy a broom. This is not a family hotel. The staff was pretty friendly and helpful. One of the girls at the front desk was a little ehh not so thrilled to be working here. You get what you pay for but it was pretty decent for us. We don't find every little thing to complain about. Oh and there is food room service if you want to pay for it.

This shoe is a I got the Smoke Suede color and it was more brown and less green as it appeared on screen. Still I like the look and though I wish there was more padding on the bottom they are still comfortable. It is a little annoying that the padding on the bottom has this ridge around it ( you can see this in the photo looking down into the shoe). Maybe I'm too sensitive. Overall the construction seems sturdy and I particularly like the added padding around the ankle.
I didn't fine these very comfortable. As others mentioned they are quite a bit heavier than what you would expect from a slipper. The sole is quite heavy and rigid. I don't have wide feet and for me they didn't hold my heel in comfortably. Also the fabric does attract lint. I was looking for something a bit softer and more secure.
Not quite as comfortable as the similarly styled Skechers I purchased years ago. They have a little less padding around the ankle and in the upper. Still quite a bit more comfortable than many casual dress shoes.
These shoes are EXTREMELY uncomfortable. I was super excited about a new sandal for the Summer but these are just unbearable. Terrible buy :(
Not my favorite. The only other pair of fit flops that I bought were thong style, which suit me much better. I made a mistake in purchasing these, which cut into the tops of feet severely enough to have broken the skin on both feet.... no kidding! I guess if you're looking for a shoe to simply loaf around the house in they'd be OK but if you're interested in doing and type of significant walking (like a half mile or so) then these aren't a good choice. I wish I wouldn't have worn them outside so that I could exchange them for a better fit flop.
I love these shoes. Since they arrived I have worn no others all summer. I wear them barefoot, so they sometimes sink, but they are completely washable. I take out the sole liners and soak them in vinegar or light bleach and they are like brand new. The are SO comfortable and even though they are glorified reef walkers, I wear them them with sun dressed and pants and I think they look great. I got them with a discount so am not quick to purchase another pair for full price, but may do so as they are such a comfortable and stylish pair of summer shoes. I should note that I am retired and don't wear these in a work environment. But I have abandoned my running shoes and stylish sandals for these shoes. I just love them!
These are adorable! I ordered the blue/grey and love the muted color -- fun but not too bright so you could wear them with many outfits. They feel like you're walking on clouds, except for my problem right foot that has a neuroma. I'm very sad that it doesn't work for that foot so I will be returning them.
If I had my way I would have these in every color. LOVE like crazy. I got the red/coral color. Absolutely fabulous.
Would have liked the shoe if they sent me the size I actually ordered. So now I have to wait like a week or two to get my money back then I can order it again, hopefully they'll actually give me the correct size this time.
Absolutely beautiful and stylish exactly what I was looking for in a flat platform (I'm only 5' )but sadly they were not comfortable the strap irritated the inner side of my feet and end of day feet hurt -no arch support I sooooo wanted them to be comfortable.

I have a menu that is added via a filter in my functions.php (its a login/logout link).
It looks like Responsive Select Menu only half includes that menu item when it creates the select element:
<select class="responsiveMenuSelect">
<option value="" selected="selected">➢ Navigation</option>
<option id="menu-item-216" value="/">Home</option>
<option id="menu-item-217" value="/about-us/">About Us</option>

<option id="menu-item-221" value="/forms/contact-us/">Contact Us</option>
Log out
As you can see the 'Log out' menu item is included above but is not wrapped in an <option> element so does not show up in the dropdown list at lower screen dimensions.
Is there something I can do to workaround this issue?

The Insider
See if you can follow this: Judy Nelson, the former companion of Martina Navratilova who earlier this year settled her palimony suit against the tennis star, is moving from Aspen, where the two had been living together before their breakup, to Charlottesville, Va., and into the farmhouse home of novelist-screenwriter Rita Mac Brown. To make all this even more fun, Brown was a Navratilova inamorata before Navratilova took up with Nelson (and even wrote a roman à clef, Sudden Death, in 1983 about the women's tennis tour).
Nelson tells us she is moving to Brown's "for the summer only, to play polo," contending that she and Brown "arc just good friends." Nelson adds that she has begun writing a book, Nelson vs. Navratilova: A Love Story, for Carol Publishing and wants Brown to write the book's foreword.
What does Martina think about all this? She tells us wryly, "Maybe Judy needed some pointers on writing a book."
Can it be possible that Batman Returns is costing Warner Bros. between $80 million and $90 million even before the studio shells out for promotion and advertising? A number of sources, both inside and outside the studio, say yes.
A Warner spokesperson says it just isn't so, putting the movie's price tag in the "$50-$55 million" range.
No matter how much Batman Returns costs, don't expect any secret prerelease screenings. There won't be time to test the movie, since director Tim Burton will be working on it right up to its June 19 release date, according to Warner's rep. Will the film be finished in time? "We'll make it," vows the rep. "There's no way we won't."
Luke Perry without sideburns! That's what the young fans of Beverly Hills, 90210 will have to brace themselves for when they see Perry in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a comedy-horror film due from 20th Century Fox on July 31.
Perry lops off his trademark burns, according to a spokesperson for the film, to show that his character "is getting his act together" at the end of the movie. Perry's own rep assures us that the teen idol shaved only for the movie and will be sporting sideburns again in future 90210 episodes.
At the risk of sounding as if we have just emerged from a pitch meeting in Robert Altman's The Player, there is a distinct possibility that Julia Roberts will star in director Stanley kubrick's next movie. (In The Player screenwriters peddling scripts routinely suggest Roberts as a lead.)
We hear the new project, an original screenplay Kubrick is doing for Warner Bros., is an untitled World War II drama about a young Polish couple living under Nazi occupation. A source close to Roberts confirms that the actress was approached but says she won't be making any decisions "until she has read the script. And there is no script yet."

DURING THE middle innings of every Phillies telecast, there's a promotional item duly noting how environmentally friendly your local ballclub is. For example, from the team's official website, is a boast that the Phils use only certified printers that utilize soy-based ink and that one even operates on 50 percent wind energy.
The front office has been uncharacteristically modest, however, about a more recent initiative. While we normally avoid writing about what goes on in the press box, on the grounds that nobody really gives a damn, we are happy to report that the team has significantly cut back on the amount of game notes and stats packages that are distributed before each home game. That not only reduces waste but saves a few bucks on paper.

Third Day
Third Day is a popular contemporary Christian music group. Since their formation they have released multiple albums and have won numerous Dove Awards. They have received several Grammy Award nominations, finally winning in 2003 in the best rock gospel album category for Come Together.
The band started in 1991 with Mac Powell and Mark Lee in Powder Springs, while the two were still attending McEachern High School. Cobb County. At one performance Powell and Lee played with another group, consisting of Tai Anderson, David Carr, and Billy Wilkens. After being asked to pose together for a photograph, the two groups decided to reform as one band, which they called Third Day.
Third Day recorded their first demo in lieu of payment for a performance and then quickly recorded their first album, Contagious (1994), which was well received locally. Billy Wilkens left the band during recording, however, and the group replaced him with Brad Avery, who brought more of a rock-and-roll sound to their music. Third Day's first big success came with their self-titled album, which was released in 1996. Critics had trouble categorizing their sound, labeling it as a mixture of southern rock, gospel, and pop music. At the same time the band's positive, biblically based message established them as Christian music role models.
Due in part to constant regional touring, the band gathered a sizeable audience and was able to launch a cross-country tour. Their next two albums, Conspiracy No. 5 (1997) and Time (1999) were nominated for Grammy Awards, and the tours that followed were consistently well attended. In 2000 Third Day released Offerings: A Worship Album, which was not expected to be as commercially successful as their earlier albums but far surpassed expectations. Powell lent his voice to the song "God of Wonders" on the compilation album City on a Hill in 2000, and the group also contributed a song to the album.
In spring 2001 the band gave a homecoming concert at HiFi-Buys Amphitheatre in Atlanta, where a crowd of 15,000 fans welcomed them. The band released an interactive DVD of the concert, the first of its kind for Christian music. Offerings II: All I Have to Give was released in early 2003.
Third Day released the albums Wire in 2004 and Wherever You Are in 2005, which earned the group its second Grammy Award.

I'm trying to work some trickery in excel where each cell in a row is shaded based on how many have been completed:
So the idea is that as more of the columns in the row are ticked the whole row (or at least the task column cells) go from red towards green.
I'm trying to use the three-colour-scale Colour Scales conditional formatting in Excel 2013 but I'm not having much luck. I started by creating a helper column that returned the amount of completed tasks and setting the formatting to look at that, but apparently this function doesn't accept indirect references.
I thought I would be able to use the Formula type:
But neither of these formula work:
It's pretty clear to me that I'm misunderstanding the fundamental use of the Formula type, but I'm having a huge amount of difficulty finding any clear information on it via our old friend Google.
So my question is; what is the correct use of the Formula type, where am I going wrong and how can achieve the effect mentioned above?
So I've managed to solve the specific task I was attempting:
To get the ticks I used the font Marlett and set the cell value to a.
Instead of entering the letter a (this is part of a small VBA function I wrote that ticks and unticks cells when you double click on them) I added a small function to the script that added a number to the cell instead, then set the custom number format to "a".
The number references the column number of the active cell minus 1 giving me the correct number for the cell so that I can then set the conditional formatting on numbers with 1 at the bottom and 6 at the top, giving me a nice growing success gradient as more cells are ticked!
Sadly this still doesn't really answer my question, as I still don't understand the proper use of the Formula type in the conditional formatting settings.
