Why Vickie Shallcross chose Edisto Island
Edisto Island sits in the middle of the costal area of the 350,000 acre ACE basin- one of the largest intact costal ecosystems on the east coast. This protected area is home to many endangered and threatened species. Wildlife is abundant which was evident from this house we purchased in December, 2011. The design of the house brings the outdoors in and the large, high decks place you in the flight pattern of snowy egrets, ospreys, eagles, and more. If one desires to venture from the beauty and privacy of the house the ACE Basin National Refuge and Botany Bay Island are very close and provide multiple hiking and boating options in these protected settings.
What makes this house unique
Privacy, easy beach access, great shelling, non-motorized boating on site possible, crabbing and fishing on site, gournet kitchen, large outdoor living space with fantastic views of a lagoon, marshes and ocean. The many windows looking out over the lagoon provide constant viewing of the many different birds feeding. The marsh and surrounding land provide occasional views of deer feeding particularly during hunting seaon (safe territory.)

First rides & tests
25 September 2013 09:50
I lent my bike to a colleague last week for the MCN Awards ride out and after an awfully wet ride down to the venue in Dorking, followed by a couple of hours riding through the Surrey Hills, the bike was returned looking very second hand.
I'm not one for jet-washing but it seemed the only option to get rid of the initial layers of grim, so I popped along to the local garage. Being careful not to totally drown the Yamaha Fazer8 I used the pressure hose to shift the bulk of the dirt. What's your thoughts on jet-washing? It's not something I'd usually do but seemed the better option on this occasion.

Don't powerwash on an empty head!
I previously owned a hypermotard which i regularly powerwashed. I belive this led to no end of electrical problems. Selfishly i took it back to the dealer every time as it was under warranty. I now own a 1098 which i have never power washed and so far it hasnt missed a beat. I see no problem with blasting the grime off the rear of your bike (rear tyre/sprocket/chain) after a winters day riding, just make sure you use a quality lubricant when everything is dry. Putting high pressure water directly onto electrics is just asking for trouble. Its your bike and your free to do what you want, but i learnt the hard way so you don't have to.

If you were making
$87/hour on the Internet, you could pay someone else to wash you bike properly.

jet wash
Somebody needs to do some serious jetwashing on this forum to get rid of all these filthy spammers... I'd turn the power right up. Sod their bearings.
28 September 2013 23:35
Nothing wrong with jet washing your bike, just dont wash anything under presure especialy your wheel bearings, as a scrutieer I checked a bike riden there for an event I was helping to organise a few years ago, when I checked the front wheel it was loose, on looking closser there was rust and filings running out of the bearings, which after telling the rider he told me he had just ben doing 100mph down the M1 on his way to Donnington, he also told me he had pressure washed it just before he set off from home, obviousely he couldnt ride on the trackand also had the sence to ring his mate to bring his van to take it home.
The moral of this story is do not pressure wash your bearings, it blows out the grease and can cause dammage and can kill you.
27 September 2013 22:53
Watch your radiator
The radiator on my old Suzuki Bandit was left with a fetching artistic wavy pattern on it after a brief attack with a jet wash. Nothing would take it out so £50 for a cover was unnecessarily invested. Didn't learn and recently filled the clocks on my CB1300 with water. And then it would only run on three cylinders for a week. Stick to a bucket and a mop!

Van Gogh Museum
Tribute to Van Gogh and friends
The Van Gogh Museum permanently houses the world's largest collection of Vincent van Gogh's lifework. His work is complemented by beautiful works of other 19th century well-known artists, such as Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, Seurat, Monet and Picasso. Van Gogh was inspired by these artists and contemporaries and they drew inspiration from him.
The Van Gogh Museum shows the development of Van Gogh's work, such as his letters, drawings and painting of portraits, landscapes and still life, through all its stages. The world famous The Potato Eaters and The Sunflowers are housed here, amongst others.
Van Gogh's works were preserved by his descendents, and Vincent Willem van Gogh, Van Gogh's nephew, initiated the museum. The museum's main building was designed by architect Gerrit Rietveld and the exhibition wing by architect Kisho Kurokawa. Until the museum was finished in 1973, Van Gogh's work was temporarily preserved at the Stedelijk Museum. Together with the Stedelijk Museum and the Rijksmuseum, they are the hotspots on the Museum Square in Amsterdam.
Ever since it has grown into one of the world's most prominent and popular museums. Its reputation stems from its unique collection, the quality of its exhibitions, its outstanding research, pristine publications, and its two internationally renowned buildings on one of Europe's leading cultural locations.
The prominent Van Gogh Museum is a must see due to the large collection of Van Gogh's lifework.

GAATW - Exploring Links between Trafficking and Labour
May 03 2011
Download right click "save as"
This paper will discuss the linkages between trafficking and labour. Its aims are to clarify broader labour and migration system complexities, and explore alliances with a wider set of social movement actors, while holding on to the human rights gains that have been made by anti-trafficking groups. The first section will define trafficking and labour concepts. The second section will look at how people put labour and trafficking together in practice, and what effects that can have on workers and those who are trafficked. The third section will look at anti-trafficking organisations and other actors in the labour arena to examine their strengths and shortcomings as regards anti-trafficking work, as well as options for and tensions surrounding possible cooperation. After concluding remarks, the paper will finish with policy recommendations and advocacy messages for each of the discussed actors.

@John: Never going back to PMP and XenServer is still nicer to administer than Hyper-V!
The whole reason for considering OCS is because of the need to use a subscription licensing model to get Windows 7 Enterprise. Since you get loads of random CALs with these models, I may as well try to utilise them.
Ah gotcha Exact same reason why I use a very large amount of MS, also because I like it anyway but I do the year licenceing so get a pile of others as part of it that I might as well use

3 soldiers killed in eastern Yemen
By Mohamed al-Samei, Monday, June 09, 2014
SANAA – Three policemen were killed in a drive-by shooting on Monday in Yemen's eastern city of Marib, a security source has said.
Gunmen on a motorbike opened fire on a police patrol in the city, leaving three soldiers dead, the source told Anadolu Agency.
There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack, while the Yemeni authorities have yet to issue a comment.
Yemen has been dogged by turmoil since pro-democracy protests in 2011 forced autocratic president Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down after 33 years in power.
In the three years since, authorities have struggled to restore law and order.

Ramen places in San Fernando Valley?
- e
- Ed Apr 15, 2006 05:10 PM
Any good ramen places in SFV?
ON Sherman Way west of Sepulveda is a great ramen house called Kyushu Ramen. Try the Chanpon, it's my favorite.
I don't think there are many ramen places in the SFV, period. The one that gets the most consistent notices here, and that I patronize regularly, is Kyushu Ramen on Sherman Way just a tad west of Sepulveda in Van Nuys.
It's kind of a funny set-up in that there's one side with formica tables and too-bright lighting, and another side with somewhat more atmosphere. I'm not a ramen expert, and it's definitely no Daikokuya, but it's pretty good. I particularly like the chanpon, and the "small" chanpon is lots of food.
Kyushu Ramen actually has a fairly large menu with lots of items in addition to ramen, including tempura, sushi, various entrees like pork cutlet curry, rice bowls, and after 6pm there are even more items in an izakaya-style menu. The takeout menu says open 7 days, 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. They do a good takeout business too.
Kyushu Ramen
15355 Sherman Way
Van Nuys
re: Debbie W.
Yeah, like I said..Kyushu ramen. But I guess two positive (and redundant) reviews is better than one in terms of convincing people to go there.
re: Diana
Yeah, sorry. Your rec wasn't up when I was writing mine, otherwise I might not have bothered, and then when I posted, you had just posted. I think it's interesting that we both recommended the chanpon, though. I actually also like the rice bowl with the pork cutlet atop, and sometimes the spicy fried squid legs (only available after 6pm), and my husband really likes the Korean-style short ribs which are also only available after 6pm.
re: Debbie W.
Oooh, the pork cutlet is DIVINE! Too bad the poster wanted ramen, but Chanpon is loverly too! I've never tried the short ribs, I will have to next time. The curried thing is pretty good, too. I also like what they can do to whole fish.
Just a nice place. I do miss all the fun cartoons on the walls, though.
The cartoons came down, and the prices went up!
went to kyushu for the first time last night around 9.30pm and was very unimpressed. looked promising when we walked in and scoped the large menu. but then it just went downhill. the food was off and the service was horrible. i finished my entire meal and my wife's dish hadn't even been served. spider roll was burnt. a lot of dishes were bland. we brought two friends adn were a little embarrassed by it.
there is a good japanese noodle shop in reseda south of roscoe and north of vanowen. i forget the name of it but it's on the northwest corner of one of the intersections off reseda in the corner of a strip mall.
another good place japanese place is hatano on parthenia, about half a block east of tampa. their noodles are very good, the katsu-don is very good, but the sushi is just so-so.
For ramen, it is Nippon Ramen on east side of Reseda, one block south of Hart. Having prowled Ramen Alley in Sapporo, Hokkaido, I can authoritatively advise you to go to Nippon Ramen, try the shio or wakame (seaweed) ramen and do not bother with Kyushu Ramen (unless you can go ten years ago).
Nippon Ramen is a treat: food is always good, service is that unique Japanese blend of perfunctory politeness and speedy efficiency and they leave you alone while you eat. On a hot day their cold (hiyashi) ramen is divine.
I will also put my vote in for Ramen Nippon (it is on Reseda, slightly past Sherman Way and across the street from Arby's). It is the best ramen in the valley. It actually reminds me of the year that I spent in Japan (Sapporo)...which is my way of saying that it's pretty damn authentic. Kyushu Ramen (on Sherman Way), oddly enough, does everything else well except for the ramen, which I find kind of "blah."
re: Raihan
Nippon ramen owns! Never had a bad experience ever! Everything is authentic. (There are no "non-japanese" chefs in the back!)
re: Raihan
Couldn't agree more about Nippon Ramen. It's head and shoulders above any ramen I've had. I was there this past weekend and I had the spicy miso ramen with a side of gyoza. Awesome!
I used to eat at Nippon Ramen alot when I worked in the SFV in the late 90's. Sadly I haven't been out there in a long time. I'm glad it's still around!
Kyushu ramen has a nice bar, good sake selection. The kyushu bone-broth ramen is ok. The other ramens (miso-based, soy based) not so good. fun thing for friends who don't know much about japanese food is the TV with the whole menu on a video loop.
Being in the valley I just had to check out Nippon Ramen , I have to say despite the detractors
I thought it was very very good , I had the spicy miso and an order of (8) gyoza , highly recommended, however I do want/need to check out Daikokuya and Santouka ramen, any suggestions on what to order? Although I really enjoyed the miso I would love a real authentic (beef/bone) broth flavored ramen.
re: wizardx
maybe i just was at ramen nippon on an off-day; i'm sure i'll give it a second chance eventually but it's so far away it'll definitely be a while.
ramen isn't typically made with beef, although there might be a few places around that have something. ajisen ramen (the new york and possibly the san gabriel branch) might have a ramen topped with beef, but it's pretty mediocre stuff. try santouka; it's a pork bone soup but it's excellent.

Before and After the Worst Nuclear Disasters in History
When nuclear power goes awry, the consequences can be horrific.
When nuclear power goes awry, the consequences can be horrific.
Multiple parts of the U.S. government are looking into spending potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars on this equipment.
A comic that depicted one of its characters suffering from a chronic nosebleed after a visit to the Fukushima power plant has been suspended after outrage from Japanese officials.
The first astronauts who set foot on the moon were quarantined for three weeks when they returned to Earth. Scientists weren't sure what kinds of lunar germs they might have brought back with them. That level of caution may sound absurd today, but a new study shows trips to outer space can still mess with astronauts on a physiological level.
Hundreds of people forced out of their homes three years ago by the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan, can finally return for good. An 8.9 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami destroyed many regions of northeastern Japan in March 2011. Three nuclear reactors melted down at a plant in Fukushima as a result of the damage, sending more than 100,000 residents out of a 12-mile evacuation area around the plant.
The disaster at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant in Japan on March 11, 2011, destroyed tens of thousands of lives and had ripple effects around the world as nations reliant upon or considering nuclear power rethought their plans. The meltdown of three of the six nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, about 130 miles north of Tokyo, was the worst nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl accident in Ukraine in 1986.
You know when you're having a bad day when you get hit by a billion ton asteroid. But for a pulsar 37,000 light-years away, it's just a another day at the office. And besides, PSR J0738-4042 has an uber-powerful X-ray blaster to deal with errant space rocks.
The risk of radiation exposure is not a show-stopper for a long-term manned mission to Mars, new results from NASA's Curiosity rover suggest. A mission consisting of a 180-day cruise to Mars, a 500-day stay on the Red Planet and a 180-day return flight to Earth would expose astronauts to a cumulative radiation dose of about 1.01 sieverts, measurements by Curiosity's Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) instrument indicate.
The six patients hospitalized with radiation poisoning in Mexico are suspects in the truck hijacking that resulted in their exposure to cobalt-60.
Renewed interest in whether prolonged cell phone use and exposure to radiation can cause cancer has prompted the Federal Communications Commission to revisit the potential risks. In April, the FCC announced that it's soliciting information from health experts on the current research. Some scientists and consumer groups have been critical of the FCC, since it has not revised its standards for mobile devices since 1996.
Radiation in space might harm the brains of astronauts in deep space by accelerating the development of Alzheimer's disease, a new study on mice suggests.
Safecast radiation detectors are back on the market, as a limited number of heavily discounted handheld sensors have been made available as a gift to loyal supporters. For 13 more days, you can get your hands on a personalized Safecast X Geiger Counters on Kickstarter when you donate $400. Safecast co-founder Sean Bonner wrote on the Kickstarter page, "This is the only time and place this version will be available, and at a much lower price than the forthcoming retail version.
Pregnant women beware: you might want to add cellphones to the list of things to stay away from during pregnancy. Researchers at Yale studied the effects of cellphone radiation on the offspring of pregnant mice and determined exposure to could result in developmental disabilities including ADHD, their study says in the March 15 issue of Scientific Reports. A silenced cellphone in active call mode was placed on top of a cage of pregnant mice.
Fear and uncertainty continue to grow around the condition of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. There has been a fervent struggle to keep the plant's reactors from achieving a partial or complete meltdown after the devastating earthquake in Japan and Pacific tsunami damaged the plant and knocked out the backup power needed to cool its radioactive fuel rods.
Still in the throes of a nuclear disaster, Japanese residents need reliable information about radiation levels throughout the country. Now, a website was just started to crowdsource radiation data collected by private citizens. The site, RDTN.org, urges its visitors to purchase a radiation detection device, take readings in their area and then post those readings to the site for all to see.

Looking For Argentinian Bakery - Cookies
I had these in Montreal at a specialty shop, they are two shortbread style cookies stuck together with a caramel type filling and dusted with fine coconut. Anyone know them, where I can pick some up in Toronto? Thanks.
re: currycue
I think we went to the same place. The young guy at the counter said his mother had just made them and laughed when I bought most of what he had. They were so fresh, mmmmm. He was surprised I couldn't find them in Toronto.I bought my paella pan there as well.
Thanks for the tip, I will definitely check it out!!!
re: Euclus
That's a nice little store. We finally have one here, but it's all the way up on Mt. Pleasant. No alfahores though. Striclty Spanish. (www.pimenton.ca)
In the Latin food court at Milvan & Finch (9 Milvan, I think) there are several places that sell alfajores. In particular, the bakery on one side with its own entrance seemed to have the nicest baked goods.
Haven't tried them but the new Argentinian-owned mate cafe that I posted about, El Almacen, has them. I've also seen them at Aroma.
They are actually relatively easy to find here. I've never tried them but I've seen them at various places.
In Kensington Market, both Jumbo Empanadas and Perola's sell them. The (newish) Arepa Cafe has them as does Pasteleria Barreda, a Chilean bakery on Christie south of Dupont.

re: toveggiegirl
El Almacen is a new Argentinian cafe that opened on Queen West at Dovercourt. I haven't tried it yet but I hear they are serving alfajores, various flavours of mate, etc. etc. Here is a recent CH thread about it: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/682503
