HONG KONG, CHINA – JULY 2012: Tai O is a traditional fishing village on the west coast of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. An agreeable counterpoint to the bustle of the city, Tai O offers visitors a peaceful escape with all the charms of traditional village culture. Recently, Tai O Heritage Hotel restored the village's 100-year old police station to its full architectural splendor, cleverly adding posh modern amenities without overwhelming the building's tasteful minimalist aesthetic. Among those amenities is Tai O Lookout, the hotel's fine dining restaurant, which affords patrons a scenic view from the top of the building. In keeping with the Tai O Heritage's elegant atmosphere, Hong Kong-based A/V designer Sound Classy Holding Limited gave the restaurant a high-fidelity sound system based on the Symetrix Jupiter 8 turnkey signal processor and the Symetrix ARC-2e user interface. Sound Classy works directly with Sanecore more

GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA – JULY 2012: In addition to drawing on inventor Tom Danley's decades of experience in the fields of professional sound and military acoustics, Danley Sound Labs, is now fully leveraging the might of its R&D team to expand the new family of Jericho Horns. Now composed of four members – the J1, JH 2, J3, and J4, the Jericho Horns provide stunning fidelity at great distances, applications that are commonly addressed with line arrays, but by ingenious design, the Jericho Horns sidestep the line array's many faults to deliver phase coherence, frequency response, and imaging detail typical of a professional reference monitor. Whereas the J1, JH 2, and J3 represent variations on a full-frequency theme that fulfill the coverage requirements of different long-throw situations, the J4, while still being a Synergy Horn, is designed to address a problem long ignored by the more

Kansas City, MO – July 2012… Â The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is the centerpiece of Kansas City's downtown revival. The futuristic 285,000-square-foot, $413 million project links the city's downtown center with its landmark Crossroads Arts and Power & Light Districts, and is home to the Kansas City Symphony, Kansas City Ballet, and the Lyric Opera of Kansas City.
The two performance spaces – Muriel Kauffman Theatre and Helzberg Hall – were designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie. Both were created using ultra-modern, sound-isolating building-within-a-building construction; a foundation, walls, and roof surrounded by fully independent foundation, walls, and roof.
The 1600-seat Helzberg Hall, home to the Kansas City Symphony, offers seating in a semi-circular "vineyard-style" configuration that surrounds more than 270 degrees of the massive 2700-square-foot stage, placing no seat more than 100 feet away.
Consultants Engineering Harmonics, whose team included Senior Consultant Martin Van Dijk, Associate Consultant Roer Gans, and designer Russ Noble, worked with Nagata Acoustics to design the sound system, which was installed by Clair Brothers. With the venue's acoustics primarily designed for symphonic sound, the hall essentially called for dual systems – one for music, the other for voice intelligibility.
The main performance system is centered around Renkus-Heinz ST-Series reference point arrays, with left and right clusters of ST4, augmented by ST-2M cabinets. Rear and side fills are amply covered with ST2-R and ST2-MR boxes, while TRX62H compact systems provide over balcony fills. A dozen PNX112 Subswoofers are built into the stage lip, while 72 Iconyx SSL drivers are built into a custom baffle inside the balcony for additional coverage.
The innovative voice reinforcement system utilizes three Iconyx IC16-5 digitally steered arrays. The three columns are arranged in a 360-degree configuration, with each column covering a 120-degree pattern. The "voice stick" is concealed in the ceiling, descending from its soffit inside the 100,000-lb acoustical reflector canopy above the stage.
The massive, seven-story glass enclosed lobby was also treated to Iconyx systems to help with spoken word intelligibility, with three more Ic16-R arrays concealed behind a metal grille.
"The Iconyx definitely helped to focus the sound in a very challenging environment," says Ciair Brothers Project Manager Dustin Goen. "I don't see how it could have been done with any other kind of loudspeakers."
Headquartered in Foothill Ranch, California, Renkus-Heinz, Inc. is the worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of audio operations networks, digitally steerable arrays, powered and non-powered loudspeakers, system specific electronics and fully integrated Reference Point Array systems.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – JULY 2012: In the days before InfoComm, representatives from Danley Sound Labs arranged an impromptu demonstration of the Danley Jericho Horn family of beefy point-source loudspeakers for long-throw applications. The team rented a 25kV generator and a lift and found an undeveloped industrial park in the desert adjacent to Nellis Air Force Base. Although originally arranged for the benefit of a few representatives from a large university who were considering a Danley Jericho system for their stadium, word of mouth swelled the number of attendees to nearly forty. They walked down the unused road to a distance of 1,500 feet from the source and marveled at the intelligibility of the Jericho cluster, set off against the intermittent roar of fighter jets, stealth bombers, and attack helicopters.
The Danley team used Lab.Gruppen amplifiers and a Danley DSLP48 processor to drive more

Does it support the old panel applets, though, or is it just indicators with a re-skin?
The 800 pound gorilla, though, is whether Gnome Classic/Fallback will continue to be developed and maintained as an alternative to Gnome Shell. Innovations like the Window Applets are great, but I wonder if such innovations will continue if there's no future in the DE. If I thought it had a future, I might be more apt to consider it; but my understanding is that Gnome sees it as a cockroach they'd prefer to squash - am I wrong?
Linux: You reap what you tweak.
It looks exactly like Gnome Classic that's available in 11.10. It's not really Gnome 2; it's Gnome 3 that's skinned to look like Gnome 2. When I installed Gnome Shell in 11.10, Gnome Classic became one of my choices. You get Gnome Classic (no effects), too.
So you don't have to wait for 12.04 to get this.

My main issue was the requirement for 2D and 3D graphics acceleration. Many people deploy Ubuntu inside virtual machines for productivity needs. The fallback to non-accelerated virtual graphics was less than ideal in prior releases in my experience.
OTOH, most Ubuntu users want to use everything their $200 GPU has to offer. My 5 yr old $40 GPU is no match.

Breakfast Burritos in the Valley/Santa Monica
Looking for a great breakfast burrito in the Valley (preferably near Studio City/Universal City/Toluca Lake/Sherman Oaks) or in Santa Monica. Work in the valley...live in Santa Monica. Any ideas??
I've looked long and hard for breakfast burritos in Santa Monica as well.
I'm not sure if they are on the menu, but they will make one for you at El Texate (it's next to the bowling alley on Pico near Samohi.)
Tacos Por Favor have very good ones. It's across from Memorial Park on Olympic -- I guess it would be Olympic and 14th.
I'm almost positive they make one at Gilbert's El Indio. I haven't had breakfast there in a while, but they must have one. Gilbert's is on Pico, somewhere in the high 20s -- maybe 26th or 28th, something like that. My usual breakfast at Gilbert's was not the burrito.
There is supposed to be a great breakfast burrito (I know someone who drives miles for it) in one of the office buildings on Olympic near the Purdue/Sawtelle area -- but I've never had it. It's just outside Samo anyway.
re: jimmyodonnell
Ocean Park Cafe is now OP Cafe. Not sure if they still do the breakfast burrito, but I do know that the new cafe has many fewer veggie alternatives. Strange because one would expect the dingy hole-in-the-wall to be veggie-unfriendly and the bright-and-cheery modern West Coast vibe place to be very accomodating, but it seems to be that the opposite is true.
Once upon a time, the little hole in the wall cafeteria next to my old office building in Calabasas on Agoura Rd served great breakfast burritos. Alas, the cafeteria is still there, but Paco is not, and the quality of the breakfast burrito (along with the rest of the food, which wasn't that great to begin with) has gone with it.
Norm's (not the chain we all know and hate) on Magnolia a couple blocks west of Victory has great breakfast burritos.
One of the best breakfast burritos I've had in the last few years was at Cottage Corner on the corner of Victory and Verdugo in Burbank. It's not too far out of the way from Toluca Lake/Studio City. Both the vegetarian and bacon versions are the best and it's always the perfect mix of eggs and potatoes.
Be prepared to wait about 10 minutes, but the line does move fast.
re: strangeeffect
OK, this is weird.
I work very close to Victory and Verdugo, and I pass that little shack on the corner that advertises breakfast burritos and I go, "Eh, who knows if it's any good."
Now I'm going to have to try it.
re: Das Ubergeek
It's really popular at my office and among the people I know. They love the Cottage's breakfast burritos...when I get in early enough, the shuttle from the train station to my office always passes by and there's always a line out the door...with that many people, it can't be bad.
re: attran99
By this point I've had them many, many times. I think they put crack cocaine in them, they're that good. Got to get the green hot sauce put in beforehand though. Best BB ever.
re: Xericx
I really like that place too!
Sorry for reviving a two year old thread, everyone, but I was just looking for a good breakfast burrito, and I was psyched to be reminded of this place.
Jinkys in Sherman Oaks has really good breakfast burritos. Ventura Blvd, 1/4 mile east of Van Nuys Blvd.
Very good breakfast burritos at NAT's Coffee Shop in Sherman Oaks/Van Nuys on Burbank Blvd.
Also if you dont mind driving to Chatsworth/Canoga Park area FLOOKY'S makes my favorite in all of the Valley.
Well, it's not "...(preferably near Studio City/Universal City/Toluca Lake/Sherman Oaks) or in Santa Monica," it's not really ideal for carry out, and it's so filling it's really a Brunch Burrito; however the machaca burrito at Carrillo's in Canoga Park will get you started with lots of beef and egg protein with onion, green pepper, etc. I ask them to put in frijoles de olla, (that's whole beans to you) and I am set for the day.
We weren't crazy about the Corner Cottage bb. The potatoes are really mushy. Also tried Tortas Mexico. That didn't really do it either. Haven't yet tried it, but in the old Law Dogs shack on Sherman Way is a place that has a big ol' sign advertising their bbs. But we can't seem to get there before they stop serving them.
Totally not in Santa Monica nor the Valley is Pepe's on Placentia in Fullerton which serves the perfect, second-to-none, bb. Well worth the drive and they serve it all day 'til closing. You won't be disappointed. Huge, heavy, cheap, cheesy, bacony, with pico de gallo, delicious refried beans, perfect eggs, and properly cooked hash browns.
Broncos on Moorpark and Woodman has very good breakfast burrito's . They also offer a huge variety of other breakfast dishes.

Pakistani girl activist's condition 'satisfactory'
A 14-year-old Pakistani activist who was shot by a Taliban gunman after speaking out for girls' education is in "satisfactory" condition at a military hospital, a spokesman said Friday, cautioning that the next few days will be critical.
Associated Press
A 14-year-old Pakistani activist who was shot by a Taliban gunman after speaking out for girls' education is in "satisfactory" condition at a military hospital, a spokesman said Friday, cautioning that the next few days will be critical.
The shooting of Malala Yousufzai on Tuesday as she was coming home from school set off an international outcry.
Maj. Gen. Asim Saleem Bajwa said she is being kept unconscious and on a ventilator, and doctors will decide when to take her off.
"Her blood pressure is normal. Heartbeat is normal, and thanks to God, her condition is satisfactory," Bajwa said.
Bajwa said the bullet entered her head and went into her neck toward her spine, but it was too soon to say whether she had any significant head injury.
Yousufzai is widely respected for her role in promoting girls' education in the Swat Valley, where she lives, and the rest of Pakistan. A Taliban gunman shot and wounded her and two other girls Tuesday, sparking widespread condemnation. There has been an outpouring of praise for her bravery from Pakistani and international leaders.
The school she attended in Mingora, owned and operated by her father, reopened Friday. The atmosphere was grim as children and teachers tried to come to terms with what happened to their star pupil.
"We have decided to open the school after two days to overcome the fear among our students that gripped them due to the attack. The number of students is low today. We have not resumed regular teaching activity, but held an assembly to pray for Malala and the other two injured girls," said one of the teachers, Zafar Ali Khan.
Police had been deployed around the school, but even so, many students stayed away.
"Although we have gathered here for to pray for Malala, this shows we will keep her mission going," Ayesha Khan, a ninth-grade student. "Many of the students haven't come due to fear, but I believe this fear will subside ultimately."
The girl was initially airlifted from the town of Mingora in the Swat Valley to a military hospital in the frontier city of Peshawar, where doctors operated on her to remove a bullet from her neck. On Thursday she was transferred to a hospital in Rawalpindi, where the Pakistani army is headquartered.
In addition to the team of Pakistani military and civilian doctors who have been treating her, two foreign doctors have also been consulted, Bajwa said. He said so far there are no plans to send her abroad for treatment.
Associated Press writer Sherin Zada in Mingora contributed to this report.

FASHION What to Wear — 18 June 2013
Backyard weddings are becoming more and more popular as couples attempt to save money on their wedding bill with this rustic-style event. Just as with a beach wedding, the attire for guests is typically more casual but that doesn't mean sloppy. You should still look polished even if the wedding is in your best friend's backyard.
Lighter fabrics and easy to walk in shoes will be your friends because you never know how wet the grass is or how hot it is outside, so play it safe.
Here are three looks we've curated that will keep you comfortable yet classy all night long.

'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' is the best thing to ever hit the small screen (VIDEO)
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! I've never been so excited for a TV show in my LIFE. Have you heard about Honey Boo Boo child? Only the most INSANELY AWESOME little girl ever to be on TV?
Well, if you haven't then you don't watch Toddlers & Tiaras and I can't blame you. Second to the Kardashians, it's probably the trashiest thing on TV. I mean--these moms ruthlessly exploit their children and for what? So, you can totally see why I was SHOCKED, and I mean SHOCKED when I totally fell head over heels in love with one of the little girls I saw featured on this show. As did the rest of America...
So now we have Meet Honey Boo Boo, which might be the BEST reality TV show to ever happen OR a sure-fire indication of the decline of civilization--maybe both...yeah, probably both.
Honestly, I love this little girl because in the midst of all the madness she is 100% HERSELF. If there is one thing you can't fault her parents on, it's that they raised a little girl with an incredibly strong sense of of confidence. Honey Boo Boo, aka Alana, is a firey 6-year-old with her very own opinions about what's going on around her and boy, is she ever keen to share her observations.
My favorite part of the extended trailer below is when she describes her 17-year-old sister as "the pregnantest." Does it get any better than that?!
See for yourself and be honest...
Will you be tuning in when Meet Honey Boo Boo premieres on August 8 at 10/9C?

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917–November 22, 1963), was the thirty-fifth President of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in , an event so shocking and cataclysmic that it continues to hold a grip on the imagination of tens of millions of people around the globe.
The determination by the Warren Commission that the murder was solely committed by one man, Lee Harvey Oswald Noun 1. Lee Harvey Oswald - United States assassin of President John F. Kennedy (1939-1963)

Indeed, it is that latter entity 6 La Cosa Nostra, the American version of the Sicilian Mafia 6 that seems to attract the most interest and speculation from the broader public.
If the Mafia did indeed carry out the so-called "crime of the century", the theory goes, it was motivated by a desire to not only to kill John F. Kennedy, but also his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who vowed to crackdown on the mob from his very powerful perch in Washington D.C.

Moreover, if U.S. mobsters Mobsters is a 1991 crime drama detailing the creation of the National Crime Syndicate/The Commission. Set in New York City during the Prohibition era, it's a somewhat fictionalized account of rise of Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello, and Benjamin "Bugsy" were involved in the assassination, they may have perpetrated the murder in cooperation with their brethren from thousands of miles away: the French/Corsican mob.
In the 1950s and early 1960s mobsters on both sides of the Atlantic commenced an extremely ambitious, complex (and hugely lucrative) conspiracy to smuggle billions of dollars of heroin from Europe to the United States; i,e, the notorious 'French Connection.'
The plot lasted for years and involved thousands of operatives 6 from opium farmers in Turkey to drug refiners in Sicily and ultimately to buyers in the hungry markets of the U.S.
Mobsters from the tiny French Mediterranean island of Corsica 6 who used the mainland French city of Marseilles as a key drug transshipment point 6 played a key role in this heroin smuggling operation (and may also have participated in the murder of an American president).
This is where a Frenchman named Antoine Guerini enters the murky picture.
Born in Marseilles, Guerini belonged to a French arms smuggling group during World War II and ultimately climbed to the top of the port city's organized crime syndicates, which included a massive heroin smuggling business.
A journalist and author named Stephen Rivele alleged that in 1981 a Corsican gangster/drug trafficker named Christian David told him that Guerini organized the Kennedy assassination and that the actual shooters were a Corsican drug dealer/killer named Lucien Sarti and two other Marseilles mobsters. (David allegedly turned down the murder contract himself).
David told Rivele that prior to the assassination, Sarti flew from France to Mexico, then crossed the border to Texas, where he met someone from the Chicago mob. From there, they drove to Dallas.
After the successful hit on Kennedy, David alleged, the CIA knew about and covered up their activities, while the shooters were eventually spirited away to safety in Canada and back to Europe (perhaps with help from the Montreal mob).
Rivele, who wrote several books as well as screenplays for high-profile Hollywood film biographies on Richard Nixon and Muhammad Ali, claimed that both the CIA and KGB confirmed his accounts.
Guerini was himself murdered by two assassins in 1967 in Marseilles, reportedly over control of an international gambling syndicate.
But who in the U.S. mob helped Guerini?
Many books and experts point their fingers at two of the most powerful Mafia figures of the southern United States: Carlos Marcello, the boss of Louisiana (with extensive connections in Dallas); and Santos Trafficante Jr. (the boss of South Florida who enjoyed a virtual free reign in Havana prior to the emergence of Fidel Castro).
Marcello, a particularly diabolical gangster, fiercely hated the Kennedys and had deep links to the European mob. Marcello was once even temporarily deported to Guatemala by the Kennedys, thereby earning his eternal wrath. Rivele believes it was Marcello who ordered the murder contract (through Trafficante) to Marseilles organized crime.
Frank Ragano, Trafficante's long-time attorney, wrote explicitly in his autobiography, Mob Lawyer, that his friend and client was responsible for the assassination 6 but that the order came from Teamsters union boss Jimmy Hoffa, who bore a serious grudge against Bobby Kennedy for prosecuting him for corruption.
After the killing, Ragano claimed Hoffa told him: "I told you that they could do it. I'll never forget what Carlos and Santo did for mea[bar] This means Bobby is out as Attorney General." Soon afterwards, Marcello allegedly told Ragano: "When you see Jimmy (Hoffa), you tell him he owes me and he owes me big."
Indeed, Jack Ruby, the Dallas-based hoodlum who shot Oswald to death before he could testify, was closely linked to both Trafficante and Marcello.
But did Marcello and Trafficante really "hire out" the job to kill Kennedy to French and Corsican assassins.
Understandably, since Marcello and Trafficante were already under the radar This article is about the magazine. For other uses, see Under the Radar (disambiguation).
Under the Radar is an American magazine that bills itself as "The solution to music pollution." It features interviews with accompanying photo-shoots. of law enforcement, they clearly could not hire their own men 6 nor anyone remotely associated with them 6 to satisfy the contract.
Almost all the players in this complex web of intrigue are long since dead, hence, the truth will likely never come out.

Blowin Money Fast!! Michael Vick Has Spent An Incredible $29 Million In The Last 4 Years
In the last four years Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has raked in a fortune from his NFL salary and various endorsements, but the money is being spent at an alarming rate.
TMZ reports that Vick has gone through $29 million, or roughly 95% of his total income since filing for bankruptcy in 2008.
The QB made $31 million during that time period. "Of that, $10.9 went to taxes, $9.2 mil went to creditors, $2.7 went to lawyers and accountants, and the rest is for various things, including child support and living expenses." That leaves Vick with $1.5 million, which is nothing to sneeze at, but he's still taken a huge financial hit.
The good news is that he signed a 6 year, $100 million contract in 2011 with the Eagles. That includes almost $40 million in guaranteed money. That will hopefully ensure that the 32-year old player won't be hurting for money even after his career is long over with.

Stopped in before a basketball game. Great looking bar on the inside. Had the pull pork BBQ sandwich. The pork was nice and tender however wasnt a fan of the BBQ sauce. Wish they had more draft selection for beers.
My wife and I went with a group of friends. The service was excellent, and the server handled our various bills with only one mistake, quickly fixed. I enjoyed the chicken enchiladas, one of the weekly specials, but my wife found her Thai salad too spicy. The server gladly exchanged it for some crab cakes, which my wife liked much...
Went to Ann Arbor with a cousin, first time, knew it was a college town, had no idea what to expect. Pleasantly surprised, charming smaller older town, stubbled upon Red Hawk, place looked charming, and menu looked inviting. We had the catfish tacos, and caprese salad ( actually on a whole wheat bun), we split each lunch in half and...
Stopped in for dinner after a football game, in large part because it was busy but not ridiculously packed. Good beer list, good bar scene and friendly staff. The food was really good, but strangely for upscale pub type food it is entirely a la carte. Ordering a burger literally gets you a burger on a plate and that's it--if...
We had a nice dinner during a rainstorm. Great service, warm & cozy, and chicken pot pie hit the spot!
we randomly stopped here on a hot day in need of a drink! we wanted to sit outside and the small patio area looked just right. the drink menu was interesting and varied as was the menu. the nacho plate we shared had handmade chips with lots of toppings. the mojito I had was good, but not worth the $11...
We were looking for a dining option on State Street and when the rain started to fall, we opted for the closest option which became the Red Hawk Bar & Grill. {very convenient to MDen shopping}.
I wasn't disappointed at all. Since it was what I expected, I only rated it "average", but it may merit another 1/2 star.
Have made at least one meal at the Red Hawk a tradition while attending the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fairs a tradition. Food and service are always great!
The latest of many visits. It is a haven from the summer heat. Good service, good driinks and good food.
Stopped on a beautiful July evening. The nachos are always good though they were a bit crisp. But no complaints. Beer was excellent. They have several on tap. The server was not overly friendly, but maybe I'm getting used to every server introducing themselves and telling me "I'll be taking care of you.." which is annoying. Still highly recommend Red...

Ajantha Mendis starred with both bat and ball as Sri Lanka enjoyed a comfortable start to their tour of the British Isles with a 79-run win over Ireland in the first one-day international in Dublin on Tuesday. Mendis made a useful 18 not out in a total of 219 for eight, where No 8 Nuwan Kulasekara top-scored with an undefeated 42, and the unorthodox spinner then took three wickets for 27 runs. Once Sri Lanka, who had been struggling at 95 for five, had set Ireland 220 to win on a slow Clontarf pitch, the game was always out of the reach of the leading Associate or non-Test nation. Despite losing four for 11 runs in 29 balls either side of the 20th over, Ireland put up some late resistance before being bowled out for 140 with 10.1 overs remaining. The difficulty of facing such a talented attack was highlighted by normally-free-scoring Ireland captain William Porterfield's innings of 33, which used up 87 balls. Indeed, only in-form Leicestershire batsman Niall O'Brien, with 33 from 39 balls including five fours, looked comfortable until Max Sorensen and George Dockrell's lusty blows near the end. Mendis was named man-of-the-match - two of his three wickets were the important ones of Porterfield, caught at deep mid-wicket, and Niall O'Brien, leg before. However, he must have been run close by Kulasekara who, as well as making runs, removed the dangerous Paul Stirling with the last ball of his first over. Ed Joyce, who has started the season superbly for Sussex, lasted only six balls before he was caught behind off Suranga Lakmal, a hammer blow to Ireland's hopes of threatening a shock victory against the T20 WC champions. But a third-wicket stand of 57 put Ireland back on course. Then came the wickets which "killed us", in the post-match words of Porterfield. After Mendis had dismissed O'Brien, Gary Wilson and Porterfield were left stranded in mid-pitch with the former adjudged run out. Kevin O'Brien then pulled his first ball straight to deep mid-wicket and when a bemused Stuart Thompson was Mendis's third victim, Ireland were 74 for six. Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews rang the changes to let his bowlers get adjusted to the pitch, which they were all seeing for the first time. Ominously for Ireland with their eye now in, Sri Lanka will be confident of completing a series win in the second and final game on Thursday. The Sri Lankans have arrived in Dublin without five of their star players - Kumar Sangakkara, for one, preparing for the upcoming Test series against England by playing in the County Championship for Durham, although he was out for a duck on Tuesday. In the end they coped without them, although Sri Lanka needed a fine innings from Kulasekara. His 42 not out came off 34 balls with three fours and two sixes and, crucially, he shared an unbroken ninth wicket stand of 43 in 22 balls with Mendis. It was a decisive turnaround and the bowlers, even without Lasith Malinga and Rangan Herath, did the rest.

Anchorage is a short drive away from the Resort and offers a variety of cultural activites from native heritage to artistic delights. During the holidays, Anchorage celebrates with tree-lighting ceremonies and Santa comes into town with a sleigh of real reindeer. Throughout the winter, find ice sculptures and other winter festivities. The highlight of winter in Anchorage is the arrival of the Iditarod and the two week-long celebration, Fur Rendezvous.
A bustling metropolis with a population of over 250,000, Anchorage was founded in 1915 as a railroad camp. Anchorage is now Alaska's largest city, and serves as a convenient jumping-off point for all sorts of excursions. Navigating downtown Anchorage's streets is simple. The grid plan was laid out by the Army Corps of Engineers, and streets and avenues run exactly east-west and north-south. The city has a local bus system and a network of more than 120 miles of paved urban trails which translates into great avenues for bicyclists and walkers in the summer and extraordinary cross country trail network in the winter.
Excellent restaurants can be found through the city, though many of the best places are found in some unlikely locations—Anchorage boasts a surprisingly huge number of very good restaurants in strip malls. Plus, Anchorage really gets going at night. Check out current event and night spot listings in the Anchorage Daily News entertainment section, published on Friday, and in the free weekly Anchorage Press.

Alaska's first people have been living here for over ten thousand years, and their stories are vivid and important. Join in a dance performance and stroll around Lake Tiulana to learn about ancient village life in five authentic village exhibit sites. Open daily: 9 am - 6 pm.

Alaska Native Arts Gallery
Alaska Native cultures are vibrant, various and very much alive. The Alaska Native Arts Foundation is a non-profit corporation founded in late 2002 to broaden understanding of, and stimulate demand for, Alaska Native art. We formed this foundation after realizing how little awareness there is about Alaska's Native people, cultures, and art forms.

The Omaha City Council Tuesday approved most of the mayor's annexation package Tuesday. The Miracle Hill property is the only one not included in the original list.
The areas that were annexed are as follows:
Riverside Hills, Near 222nd & Pacific
Brookhaven, South of 108th & Q
Turtle Creek, South of 96th & Q
Harper Valley, South of 48th & Q
Eagle Run II, South of 144th & Maple
Cambridge Estates, 168th & Pacific
Woodbridge, North of 72nd & Crown Point
Mission Park, South of 168th & Q
Baywood, North of 180th & F
Linden Estates (2nd addition), North of Dodge - 132nd to 144th
Pacific Springs, North of 160th & Pacific
Skyline Meadows, Near 222nd & West Dodge
Arbor Oaks, Northwest of 144th & Maple
60th and Harrison
Business Parks:
Southwestern Plaza, South of 144th & F
Altech Business Park, North of 144th & F
I-80 Business Park, Near 115th, South of Q
Blondo 108th Business Park, 108th & Blondo
The annexed areas will be taken over by the city effective September 3.
The mayor's office released a statement after the annexation vote. Mayor Jean Stothert is quoted as follows:
"The annexation package passed by the City Council today addresses most of my goals, but not all; eliminate areas or neighborhoods that are surrounded by the city; no additional costs for police and fire protection and does not include areas with street projects currently under contract.
"The Council did not support annexing Miracle Hill Golf Course or an area of ag land northeast of 60th and Harrison.
"Miracle Hill has avoided annexation several times over the last 15 years. The owner's argument against annexation is potential redevelopment of the site. My sincere hope is we can work with the owner to get this property into the city next year, if it is not redeveloped.
"The homeowners and businesses in the areas annexed today can expect quality customer service from all city departments."

Sorry. I don't check my blogs very often. The only way to make it work is to copy the same format laid out in the "code" box above. I recommend copying that text and replace that text with your URL and IMG links, then paste that directly into your edit signature box, bypassing the image and link buttons altogether.
...Water is very aggressive when it comes to pulling gunk out of tobacco and ethanol far less so...
Tars and resins = "gunk"
You can say that is my interpretation of what he said, if it will make you feel better, but I've read enough of Dvap's posts to understand that when he talks about gunk or crud, he is talking about vegetable solids/plant matter, which includes tars and resins.

Hi Mr. Hoosier,
Thanx a lot for this blog, I'm glad I can find it
I'm little bit confuse, u said:
1. Tiny Bit (A fraction of 1% in your mix) - Gives a "body" to the vapor and may slightly reduce sharp notes.
I'm using EM for reducing a harsh flavor, but I don't know what is the meaning of "body" in your sentences? can you explain it more detail, please
I really appreciate your reply.
Thanx before.

Theoretically, the protective circuitry of regulated mods should shut down the device prior to any short circuit or battery overload. This is assuming that you are also using safe-chemistry IMR or IMR/hybrid batteries. Do not use ICR chemistry batteries.

Players/Officials: Brendon McCullum
Series/Tournaments: New Zealand tour of South Africa
Teams: New Zealand
To pretend the upcoming series between South Africa and New Zealand is only about cricket would be to remember Hansie Cronje without the match-fixing. Some are able to leave the pleasant parts untainted with the nasty stain of the unmentionables but for most it's unavoidable. At least Brendon McCullum, the New Zealand captain, is part of the latter camp.
An already challenging tour became much more difficult for New Zealand when Ross Taylor withdrew from the squad. It exposed an embarrassing miscommunication in the administration and although apologies have been issued since, it has still left New Zealand more vulnerable than they would otherwise have been.
"There's obviously been some distractions gone on back home but we know there is a monumental task in front of us. To take it on without some of our better players is disappointing but that's what we've got to do," McCullum said. "A New Zealand team with Ross Taylor involved is a lot stronger."
McCullum is hopeful Taylor will make a return and indications are that he will (though no one knows when) but that is not all the stand-in captain has to think about. Issues aside, New Zealand are also without Daniel Vettori who has not recovered from injury, leaving them without two of their mainstays.
That has left McCullum with the dual role of uniting a fractured unit and overseeing the integration of new players. With a brave face, he accepted both tasks. "We've got a number of big losses throughout our team at the moment but it is one thing to long for those guys to be present but it's another to get on with dealing with the resources you've got.
"We're going to find out a lot about the new guys in the next little while and they are going to be exposed to some pretty extreme circumstances so for the development of the squad and for those guys, it's a really exciting time. From a leadership point of view, we've got to find a way to use the resources we do have, rather than focus on what we don't have."
McCullum has five uncapped players in his Twenty20 squad to work with, including two left-arm bowlers who are likely to get their first taste of international cricket. Corey Anderson and Mitchell McClenaghan are the two being talked about by the coach Mike Hesson as ones to watch.
"We've got some guys with a bit of pace. They haven't got the records of the Dale Steyns or Morne Morkels but they've got some really good skills and hopefully we will see those skills unfold," McCullum said. The other three rookies are all-rounders Colin Munro and Jimmy Neesham, and wicketkeeper Derek de Boorder.
New Zealand's relative inexperience is matched by a similar pushing through of younger players in South Africa's plan. The hosts named four uncapped players in their T20 squad and have a new captain in Faf du Plessis. While New Zealand are still wary of South Africa, they also see opportunity.
"We know South Africa are going to be uncompromising, very fit, strong and disciplined. We know they are an extremely well-skilled team," McCullum said. "South Africa have got a form advantage over us but we're excited about the opportunity to play them. If we put them under pressure and get some of their inexperienced guys to have to deal with that pressure then maybe we will able to learn a bit about ourselves and hopefully come out on top."
Realistically, New Zealand are not expected to do anything more than put up a solid fight over their month in South Africa. It's the concern they will not be able to do even that which they want to quell and McCullum gave an assurance that despite the recent internal strife, New Zealand still have an eye on the game.
"We are a very proud, passionate sporting nation. Cricket is the No.2 sport in the country, it's our summer game and we have always had a lot of support and we hope to continue to do so. We want to make sure we raise our standing in world cricket."
Rather than continue to be a team that scraps to get something out of an impossible-looking situation, New Zealand want to become more consistent. "Historically we've performed a lot better when we've gone in as underdogs," McCullum said. "We want to try and continually improve our performance, not just perform at our best when we are in those situations but when we are expected to win games too."
One of those times is not now. If New Zealand shock South Africa it will be seen as possibly their biggest counterpunch yet. But McCullum is hopeful it could also become the start of a happier, stronger period for the team.
