In Asian trading Wednesday, USD/JPY rose 0.21% to 94.65 after earlier trading as high as 94.70. The pair was likely to find support at 93.01, the low of March 6 and resistance at 95.06, the high of March 22.
The yen remained under pressure after the new BoJ Governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, reaffirmed his commitment to bold monetary easing to achieve 2% inflation.
In comments before parliament, Kuroda said the central bank will discuss purchasing more bonds with longer maturities. The BoJ currently buys government debt maturing in three years or less through its JPY76 trillion asset-purchase program.
The yen was also under pressure after the greenback got a lift from some decent U.S. data. The Commerce Department said durable goods orders rose 5.7% in February after falling 3.8% in January. Economists expected a February increase of 4.9%. Core orders fell 0.5%. Economists expected a core increase of 0.5%. The Commerce Department also said new home sales fell 4.6% last month to seasonally-adjusted rate of 411,000, but rose 12.3% on a year-over-year basis.
The S&P/Case Shiller composite index of home prices in 20 metro areas rose 0.9% in December on a seasonally-adjusted basis. On a non-adjusted basis, the index rose 0.2%. Economists expected a seasonally-adjusted increase of 0.5%.
BoJ meets early next month and has the potential to make traders very happy or quite disappointed with ensuing comments on monetary easing. Kuroda has previously spoken openly about doing more to weaken the yen.
Elsewhere, EUR/JPY gained 0.24% to 121.77 while AUD/JPY added 0.08% to 99.13. NZD/JPY rose 0.16% to 79.39.

Having failed to secure enough numbers to defeat the government on the opposition-sponsored motion against FDI in multi-brand retail in the Rajya Sabha, the BJP on Friday put up a brave front, saying the final numbers in the House vote exposed the government's vulnerability. It expressed hope to reap the electoral dividends for its efforts in north India.
"The debate and the vote in the Rajya Sabha today exposed the government's stand on FDI in retail trade. It also reflected that the government stands (numerically) vulnerable," said BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad after government mustered numbers to defeat the motion with help from Mayawati's BSP and tacit support of Mulayam Singh Yadav's SP.
The BJP remained hopeful of "consolidation" of its traditional trading community support base and expected that its point will "win us support base among the traditional most backward communities in northern India that remain self-employed" in professions like vegetable production and sales, and fisheries, among others.
In an apparent attempt to rally the trading community as well as most backward communities, the BJP mounted an attack on north Indian parties like SP, BSP, RJD and LJP for bailing out the government. "The phoney preachers of social justice have meekly submitted before the big global capitalism supported by India's crony capitalism," Prasad said, referring to Mayawati, Mulayam, Lalu Prasad and Ram Vilas Paswan's role in bailing out the government despite their reservations against the FDI move.
"They (SP and BSP) need to explain this to the people. We are not going to let them get away. We will take this issue to the people. We will go to Uttar Pradesh where the two major political parties had colluded and helped the government at the last moment," senior BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu said.
The Left parties cried foul against government's victory with open support from BSP, alleging that it had manouevered support.
"It is a moral defeat. Had the BSP not voted in favour of the government, the picture would have been different.The Congress is a known master in managing numbers," CPM leader Sitaram Yechury said.
In a statement, the CPM Politburo said, "The debate in both Houses of Parliament revealed that an overwhelming number of parties representing a clear majority of MPs are not in favour of allowing FDI in retail trade. This reflects the views of the majority of the people of the country. Despite the opposition, the government was able to maneouvre

My concern here is to call attention to all those who are so eager to condemn Donald Sterling.
While I'm not condoning his actions, I failed to see anyone, especially our leaders of different faiths, calling on all of us to practice what our faith teaches us, and that is forgiveness. It is so easy to condemn. It is an even greater challenge to forgive.
If Saint John Paul II could find it in his heart to forgive a man who nearly killed him, certainly we can find it in our hearts to learn from his actions and do the same.
The Bible also tells us: Let those among you who are without sin, cast the first stone.
By rising above such events, we set an example that hopefully, others will learn from.

A Riverside County nursing home was fined $100,000 for the death of a 91-year-old woman who was dropped on her head.
Citrus Nursing Center in Fontana was cited last month for failing to provide patient safety, according to the California Department of Health.
The nursing home is owned by Sunmar Healthcare in Brea. A call to owner Frank Johnson on Saturday was not immediately returned.
The elderly patient was injured on Feb. 24 as a nursing assistant improperly tried to transfer her from a wheelchair to a bed without help, according to a health department citation. She died nine days later.
The nursing home can appeal the penalty.
The home also was fined a total of $25,000 last year in connection with the 2004 death of a patient who died from a bacterial infection and for failing to contact a doctor about a diabetic patient whose blood-sugar levels had reached unsafe levels.
Those fines are being appealed, said Ken August, a health department spokesman.

DEFINITION of 'Constructive Sale Rule - Section 1259'
A section of the Internal Revenue Code that expands the types of transactions that are considered to be sales and are subject to capital gains tax. According to this rule, transactions that effectively take an offsetting position to an already owned position are considered to be constructive sales. The purpose of the constructive sale rule is to prevent investors from locking in investment gains without paying capital gains and to limit their ability to transfer gains from one tax period to another.
This rule is Section 1259 of the Code. It is also referred to as "Constructive Sales Treatment for Appreciated Financial Positions".
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Constructive Sale Rule - Section 1259'
This rule was introduced by Congress in 1997. Transactions considered to be constructive sales include making short sales against similar or identical positions (known as "short sales against the box"), and entering into futures or forward contracts that call for the delivery of an already-held asset.
There are some exceptions to the rule that remove the need to pay capital gains. For example, if the transaction is closed prior to 30 days after the end of the year in which the gain was achieved, or if the original position is held for 60 days after the offsetting position is closed, then no capital gains tax will be incurred.

She recently assembled conferences on alternative energy sources, concentrated animal feed law, and issues in waste management. She has also been involved with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to coordinate activities between the Attorneys General staff and the DOE staff.
"I work on pollution control, energy-oriented issues, and conservation issues," she said. Paula serves as the point person for communication between states about local environmental issues, interacting regularly with offices of the Attorneys General.
In addition to a slate of environmental issues, Paula has been organizing a training partnership of NAAG with the National White Collar Crimes Center. She is currently managing a series of 17 one-day training sessions on intellectual property. This training is available for the Attorneys General, local prosecutors, investigators, and law enforcement officials.

Asus unveils dirt-cheap Chromebox desktops with Haswell chips
Plenty of vendors offer Chromebooks, but if mobility isn't your bag, Asus has announced a compact Chrome OS desktop at a price that's hard to beat. Asus isn't the first company to offer Chrome OS in a desktop form factor. That would be Samsung, which launched the original Chromebox in 2012. But vendors have shied away from the …
Yes, but...
...will it run Linux?
Or what's the i7 price like for a dual boot .net/LAMP dev box?
(if, of course, you could get a later version of Windows onto a 16gb ssd with any space to spare...)
Re: Yes, but...
Who cares if it runs Linux ?
Thats not what 99.99999% of those who would buy it care about, if you want Linux on something buy a desktop or laptop on stick your niche product on there.
This is what people like me want to see, stick these in instead of a windows job and most of my family tech support is gone. So much better for use than a windows box for the majority of the population as well....
Re: Yes, but...
ChromeOS is a version of Linux, so the answer is yes it will be running Linux. So long as the thing isn't shipped totally locked down at the UEFI level (i.e. using secure boot incapable of being switched off by the user) it should also be easy to install other versions, as the hardware will all be optimised to have good Linux driver support.
Re: Yes, but...
>Implying these things can not be a Headache, or any less of a security threat either. Besides isn't this thing already running some *nix already, just like with Android? If your "Tech Support" is such a PITA, then make sure you have Auto Updates turned on before you leave. Most likely they'd wouldn't know the difference anyway....
Re: Yes, but...
You are joking right? You know Chrome OS is Linux?
Re: Yes, but...Chrome OS is Linux?
All right then. but will it run Linux MINT.
I.e can we load a generic Linux OS on it that isn't tied to what google decides we should have?
Re: Never mind that
Can I put Windows 8 on it? What about XP?
Re: Yes, but...Chrome OS is Linux?
Crouton...nuff said.
Bye ChromeOS
For several years now I've had HTPCs of various ilks hooked up to my TV. A shuttle box for a long time and currently an ageing mini-ITX Atom (Zotac nVidia ION) which has done a sterling job. These were usually on 24-7 as an all round home server web browsing kiosk Skype music YouTube etc. Early last year I bought a RaspberryPi and stuck OpenELEC on there and that's sorted all of the media playback stuff. The problem is I still end up with the HTPC on probably most days because of two annoying proprietary MS technologies, Silverlight and Skype. I would have switched it over to Linux years ago had it not been for Eurosport Player being Silverlight only.
A cheap, small, fanless x86 box would make an ideal replacement for the old HTPC and this looks pretty good. That's if I can kill the ChromeOS.
Re: Bye ChromeOS
Is it fanless? From the small vents it looks like it's fan cooled.
Ohhh... I just had an idea!
(Waits in amusement for the screams of terror to die down.)
Given their sizes, imagine a ChromeBox, an Intel NUC, and a Raspberry Pi in a side-by-side-by-side configuration, VESA mounted to the back of a monitor.
A KVM switcher box, all the other periph's on a USB hub, and you could have some serious fun.
It would be like running a triple-boot box, triple VM server, all from the same space as your monitor!
*Happy geek drooling*
Damn it, now I crave Pi.
But what would you call such a rig?
ChromeNucPi? PiNucChrome? PiNuChrome? ChromePi? ChromeNuc? NucPi?
Frankenstein? Cerberus? Bob?
Re: Bye ChromeOS
If it's like the Gigabyte and Intel NUCs I have - it has a small laptop fan but you have to run even the i5 variant pretty hard to get it to turn on and you can hardly hear it.

Wait... You just "discovered" OpenELEC, and yet you never used either MythTV, or VDR?! WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?! I mean really I tried Windows Media Center Once.... It was terrible. For starters, it never had support for DVB-C (Cable), or DVB-S2 (Satellite). Ok the later was eventually addressed back in Vista with a Hack-Pack Update, that was only officially released to just a few OEMs. AFAIK Windows 7 was the first "Official" WMC to have DVB-S2 as standard.
To put a line on this I got into the whole HTPC, back in 2005, and I wasn't prepared to either pay for a buggy copy of DVBViewer, or take a Chill Pill, and wait for Ballmer to discover DVB-C either... MythTV was interesting, but broken. At the time VDR, needed a Hardware MPEG2 Decoder. Thankfully now, thanks to VDPAU, pretty much any decent nVidia Card can take care of all that now.
I would not touch WMC at this point now!
Re: Ohhh... I just had an idea!
But what would you call such a rig?
How about EPIC WIN!?
Re: Ohhh... I just had an idea!
Nice idea. I already have an almost completely neglected Pi, yet still find myself lusting after this little beastie.
> "But what would you call such a rig?"
> "ChromeNucPi? PiNucChrome? PiNuChrome? ChromePi? ChromeNuc? NucPi?"
Perhaps "PiChNUC" (pronounced "picnic") ?
Re: Ohhh... I just had an idea!

The 3 headed giant...
16GB, really?
"16GB of onboard SSD storage"
Re: 16GB, really?
It would be nice to know what kind of flash too, with that piddling size I would hope for SLC to cope with the ever changing web cache contents.
Still, with the SD card option and USB 3 ports that you could put a reasonably cheap 64GB stick into you could probably get by for backing storage if you have a use for it.
Re: 16GB, really?
Hell, with USB 3.0 you could sit an external HDD on top of it and have as much storage as you like.
Re: 16GB, really?
What part of ChromeOS do you not understand Ketlan? If you want to store all your files locally, buy something else.
Re: 16GB, really?
You still haven't worked out the usage model for a Chrome PC yet have you?
ChromeOS isn't about local storage. Do keep up!
Re: 16GB, really?
Belts and braces?
OK for web browsing
Graphics performance will be the weak spot for anything serious.
Another tight-arse, performance-sapping unified memory mess.
Show me one solution that has ever come close to the performance of a reasonably current system with separate memories, the current consoles underwhelm compared to a decent PC.
A pity, otherwise it would be a nice SteamBox contender.
Re: OK for web browsing
Somehow I don't think computational fluid dynamics is the intended market.
Still it's tricky to see what the market is. For Google-Docs and Web browsing the Chromebooks are better. The only use for this is for content consumption - but it doesn't work with Netflix/Hulu etc - so unless Google are going to offer pay-per-view on You Tube (and fix the HTML5 viewer) - this is a bit pointless
Re: OK for web browsing
No Netflix? How come - ChromeCast supports NetFlix after all.

Re: OK for web browsing
Because Netflix uses Silverlight. Yes they say they support HTML5 but have you actually watched any content in HTML5? Its always Silverlight in my experience, on UK Netflix anyway.
Re: OK for web browsing
>No Netflix? How come - ChromeCast supports NetFlix after all.
But chromecast requires you to have another computer sending the data. I can't see people buying this box as a replacement for the $25 chromestick thingy if they still need a windows PC to send the video,
Netflix does work (sort of) on the Samsung Arm Chromebook so perhaps they are working on a port for this.
Re: OK for web browsing
"But chromecast requires you to have another computer sending the data."
It most certainly doesn't. The computer, phone or whatever just tells the Chromecast what to go and get.
Re: OK for web browsing
Sorry I was thinking of the mode where it just replays a chrome browser tab,
I have to watch netflix through a VPN due to being geographically challenged - ie living 20km the "wrong" side of the border
Because Netflix uses Silverlight
Netflix works wonderfully on my TV, iPad and on the wife's Nook (Android) tablet. Surely they don't all use SilverLight. EVERY new TV and gadget has a Netflix app, maybe some bespoke version but why can't Chrome have one of those two?
Re: OK for web browsing
Netflix runs fine on both Intel and ARM-based Chromeboxes and Chromebooks (I have one of each, both from Samsung). Neflix ported it to the platform so that it doesn't require Silverlight.
with Google DataSlurp (Not TM) tech.
Is this Googles version of "Windows everywhere?"
That was s**t too.

Quite the opposite! It will look after your children collecting info so you all can enjoy targeted advertising. However, you don't seem to understand or care about end-user digital freedoms so your comment can safely be discarded.
Looks interesting. If it's fanless and can run debian then colour me interested! If not, I'll stick with my Shuttle XS35GT.
I'd be interested in the I7...
...but it depends on the max RAM I could install & if it accepts a user-replaceable HDD/SSD.
Sure it may be less expensive than the NUC, but if the user can't upgrade their own RAM nor the HDD/SSD, then it's not really comparing apples to apples.
I can stuff 16Gb of RAM in the NUC, and either the largest M-SATA (for one of the original variants) or a full sized 2.5" SATA (for the newest variant).
Either way, it's a simple matter to open the NUC & fiddle with it's guts, thus making it infinitely more valuable than the ChromeBox.
But if I can get my hands on the I7 model (not bloody likely in North America), then I'd be willing to buy one just for the sake of giving one a spin.
I'd have to figure out some way of installing a Screen Reader Environment on it so I could use it, but otherwise I can envision having a lot of fun with one.
VESA mount a NUC and a CB to the back of a monitor, use a KVM switch to swap back & forth between them, and plug everything else into a USB hub for ease of access.
Need Windows for something? *Click* Ok.
Want Chrome for something? *Click* Done.
All from a combined box footprint that fits side-by-side on the back of the monitor?
Of course, as a Blind guy, I wouldn't need to spend the money on a monitor, so Neener Neener.
Re: I'd be interested in the I7...
What are you wanting to do on a low-power system that needs 16Gb? PCs have pretty much stopped shipping with increased RAM since 4-6Gb became standard 5 years ago.
Can I wipe it and put a proper Linux OS on there?
Since ASUS is a hardware company, I would assume they are more interested in sales of this box than in Google ads being served. My bet is "yes, you can".
If you can stick XBMC on it I'm getting one to replace the old C2D HTPC.
XBMC runs fine on a Pi. No need for hot and hungry Intel hardware.
Does the Pi do MPEG4? What about Hi10p?! I think my HTPC isn't quite as dead as that just yet... But, with the spat of USB DVB-S2 & DVB-C Tuners hitting the Market, and in the quest of a cheaper Electric Bill these things do seem to be the shape of things to come...
supports most things (everything I have thrown at it) and you can buy licences for other stuff from the Raspberry Pi Foundation for a couple of quid.
@Michael Habel
Apparently it does MPEG4 out of the box but you need to buy the codec for MPEG2.The XBMC wiki says Hi10p is a no-no on ARM :
Freedom isn't free
Hasn't anybody learnt? Linux. That's all. Nothing else. Thank you. Actually, forget that. Just let me install what I want. Because whatever you think I need is wrong.
That said, it's a pretty decent little box. Just please tell me the Linux drivers support the HD graphics. Effing AMD. Effing Fedora. Effing Catalyst.
Re: Hasn't anybody learnt?
I'm sure Google will stop with this silly ChromeOS nonsense now you've cleared that up.
Thanks. No really, well done.
Re: silly ChromeOS nonsense
Why should Google stop doing something profitable and legal (but very close to creepy)? No doubt they will continue, and I will continue with Debian and Startpage and NoScript, just for the fun of it.
Oh dear, I sound like Jake - help, downvote me in massive numbers.

Downtown near (or easy from) Union Station
- Bada Bing Apr 3, 2011 01:31 PM
I'm a visitor, unexpectedly staying a day or two extra in Claremont (which I asked about in another thread). Matapoisett on this board suggested I might take Metrolink into LA proper, which would bring me to Union Station. I have work to do, though, and don't have a whole day for getting to places, but I'm cool with taking the train in and out of Union Station for something special.
I live in Indiana now, which means that the following things are hard for me to get normally:
--great Asian flavors, especially Thai, Vietnamese and Korean, but also Chinese. In fact, I've never tried or even seen a place near me making banh mi sandwiches. Even pho is rare.
--really fresh, good Mexican foods, like tacos made with excellent corn tortillas and great carnitas, fish, adobada, barbacao, etc.
I gather that Chinatown is pretty close to Union Station. Walkable? If anyone wants to suggest that I go on the subway or bus to somewhere, could you add in the realistic time involved?
Thanks in advance for all ideas!
p.s., does anyone know if Spitz in Little Tokyo, or anywhere in LA, has German-style Döner Kebab? (Note: totally not the same deal as gyros or even traditional Turkish style.) For THAT, I would do serious travel.
Yeah, Chinatown is walkable. You can definitely get your fill of banh mi and pho at Chinatown.
This link provides a pretty good rundown of the highlights of Chinatown. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7707...
re: ipsedixit
Great link! Thanks. You're always adept at finding these things.
re: reality check
La Luz del Dia in Olvera Street has good soft tacos. Cross Alameda at Los Angeles Street and it will be right on the plaza there at the end of Olvera Street.
Olvera Street
845 N Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Purple Line from Union Station takes you to the heart of Koreatown. 10 to 15 minute ride. Chinatown is on the Gold Line north, there shoud be some acceptable Chinese food there. It's a walkable distance, too. Red Line will drop you in the middle of Thai Town in Hollywood.
Check CH for recommendatons in those areas.
re: Akitist
Thanks. To judge by browsing the board, it sounds as if Park's BBQ in Koreatown might be worth such travel. Perhaps also Jitlada for Thai. Will it be odd at either of these places to eat alone for lunch? They sound a bit upscale. I'd also travel for really great but cheap tacos or mexi, by the way, but it seems harder to nail down particular places.
It will take me up to 4 hours all told to get into and back from LA, but at least I should be able to do some reading on the Metrolink train. So I'm really trying to make sure this is a good bet before I jump.
Are these colored lines (purple, red. etc.) subways or buses? (The transportation website doesn't make that immediately clear to me). Sorry to be so out of it!
Park's BBQ
955 S. Vermont Ave, Suite G, Los Angeles, CA 90006
5233 1/2 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027
re: Bada Bing
All the colored lines (except the orange busway line) are rail lines and subways. The Red, Blue, Purple and Gold lines all leave from Union Station.
Park's BBQ is wonderful. The Seasoned Boneless Beef Short Ribs • 주물럭 are incredible. To me definitely worth the trip.
re: wienermobile
Well, the Blue Line doesn't go to Union Station, but I didn't see recs for anything on that line, so the point may be moot.
re: Akitist
You can catch all the lines from union station through transfers
re: Bada Bing
Jitlada is not upscale. It's more like a family restaurant. It's probably better to go there for lunch since dinner can get busy and it's not a big place.
re: Bada Bing
It would be hard at either Park's BBQ or Jitlada to eat alone -- either at lunch or dinner. Neither places is really suited well for the solo diner unfortuantely.
Park's BBQ
955 S. Vermont Ave, Suite G, Los Angeles, CA 90006
5233 1/2 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027
re: ipsedixit
Thanks for this. I wondered with good reason, I guess.
My favorite Langer's Deil is just a few minutes and a few stops on the Red Line Subway out of Union Station for some of the best hand cut and tender Pastrami you'll find anywhere. They are open till 4pm and closed Sundays.
Langer's Delicatessen
704 S Alvarado St, Los Angeles, CA 90057
re: wienermobile
I'm tempted. All that softens my interest in this direction is that I've already experienced really solid pastrami in New York and also at Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, MI. One day soon, I hope to try a place in Indianapolis that's supposed to be tops, as well.
re: Bada Bing
If you want a really quintessential LA sandwich experience, check out Philippe's French Dip - it's right across from Union Station.
Oh, and you don't want to leave Southern California, and the Inland Empire in particular, without hitting up In-N-Out. There are a couple right near Claremont - not walking distance, but a very short bus or cab ride will take you there.
Off the Mariachi Plaza station of the Gold Line about 3 stations from Union Station, is La Serenata di Garibaldi for more "upscale" Mexican. Personally, I haven't been too impressed with the eats in Olvera St.
For train accessible places from Un Station, I think K-town or Thai town will have more "best of LA" options than Chinatown for Viet/Chinese.
Also, not on your list, but Little Tokyo has various options, only 1 station away from Un Station.
FYI, there were threads regarding places to eat along the different train lines but haven't seen them in a while. May wanna search around for them.
BTW, I'm pretty sure you can travel free along any of the MTA train lines from Union Station with a valid Metrolink ticket. Check to make sure though.
La Serenata
1416 4th St, Santa Monica, CA 90401
Little Tokyo Restaurant
150 E Bonita Ave, San Dimas, CA 91773
Here is the website for Spitz for your assessment of its roots:
re: carter
Spitz is great. i just had lunch there today. i always get the chicken wrap, street cart style with pita strips. very fresh and simple. decent sangria too!
Spitz: Home of the Doner Kebab
371 E 2nd St # D, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Agree with Spitz in Little Tokyo, which is walkable from Union Station!
Recently opened is Spice Table, a Singaporean-style restaurant which has received some good initial press, also within (walkable) Little Tokyo!
Little Tokyo Restaurant
150 E Bonita Ave, San Dimas, CA 91773
The Spice Table
114 S. Central Avenue, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA
re: J.L.
Welcome to LA, Bada Bing! All of the recs above are solid, you will love Jitlada, Parks & any of the mexican taco places.
Note that the above rec for the Spice Table, only open for dinner. Other lunch spots in Little Tokyo include the Lazy Ox Canteen, one of my favorites when I get downtown, sit at the bar, it's great to watch them cook.
If you get out to the westside, give me a shout!
5233 1/2 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027
Lazy Ox Canteen
241 S San Pedro St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
The Spice Table
114 S. Central Avenue, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA
For Banh Mi, I like Banh Mi My Dung which is in Chinatown (314 Ord Street). For tacos, you should take the Gold Line to East LA and try Guisados. Or check out Ricky's Fish Tacos (you'll have to take the red line and then walk a few blocks to the Sunset Junction area.) For Mole, try Moles La Tia, accessible on the Gold Line.
From Union Station, you can use the subway system to get very quickly to Little Tokyo (Gold Line), East LA (Gold Line), Koreatown (Red and Purple Line), Thai Town (Red Line) etc.
Here are some past threads on restaurants accessible by subway:
Ricky's Fish Tacos
1400 N Virgil Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027
2100 E. Cesar E Chavez Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90033
I'd say that even Little Tokyo is walkable as are places like Church & State. I walked from Bunker Hill to Union Station but with the free transfers I'd just take public transport there. You can get Mendocino Farms there.
Mendocino Farms
300 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA
Church & State
1850 Industrial Street, Los Angeles, CA 90021

I was doing a little research this morning on travel, hotels, security and CPAPs. Here are links to the some helpful information.
In the TSA's Own Words:
TSA's Page on CPAP
TSA on Medical Liquids (ie Our Distilled Water)
It might be worth is to print this page, so you can give it to them in the event you carry on your CAPA. If the people at the security screening even know what a CPAP is I will be surprised, let alone to know THEIR OWN handling procedures.
Airline Links:
United: Worst Explanation! No Specific CPAP Statement
Southwest One CPAP: SW On CPAP
Continental: On CPAP and Vents
Delta: Look under "Assisted Devices"
JetBlue: Best Policy So Far!
http://help.jetblue.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/we ... se=obj(631)#s7
This seems to run in two different flavors: those who just want to carry it on and those who want to use it in-flight. From different pages I read there are only "special seats" that have power running to them, so in addition to giving them 48hrs notice, you also need the right seat assignment to have power. I think everyone should get a note from their prescriber and the print outs of the TSA's and Airlines policies; just incase you have to educate them!
I hope this helps everyone who travels frequently!

The Philippines is unlikely to meet its 2014 growth target after the economy's expansion slowed to 5.3 percent in the third quarter.
Monday, October 13, 2014
Manila's creaking train network means a miserable three-hour work commute for salesman Gerard Galang — just one example of major infrastructure woes that analysts say threaten to cool the Philippines' red-hot economy.
Wednesday, September 10, 2014
The Philippines' second richest man will regain full control of Philippine Airlines (PAL) by buying back a 49-percent stake from San Miguel, the firms said Tuesday, in a deal reportedly worth US$1 billion.

The Philippine economy expanded by 6.4 percent in the second quarter and tied with Malaysia as the second fastest growing in Asia during the period, officials said Thursday.

The administration of Philippine President Aquino has proposed to allocate 239.8 billion pesos (US$5.5 billion) for the Manufacturing Resurgence Program, aimed at enhancing the local manufacturing sector.

The new Aprilia Tuono V4 R will arrive in UK dealer showrooms within weeks. The 167bhp super naked V4 has already blown the mind of MCN Senior Road Tester Michael Neeves at its track and road launch, and looks to do the same when the first shipment arrives in the first week of May.
Based on the superb RSV4 superbike, the Tuono V4 R is essentially a stripped down version with upright handlebars. It comes in two versions, the Tuono V4 R at £10,638, and Tuono V4 R APRC at £11,628 complete with full electronics package of wheelie and traction control, selectable power maps and more.

November 26, 2014
OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) -- Vice president Joe Biden is telling Wisconsin voters that America is not in decline and that the Republican presidential ticket is in denial about the improving economy.
Biden spoke to about 1,000 people at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh on Friday. Later in the day, he drew about 1,500 people at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha.
The vice president peppered his speeches with familiar criticisms of Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. He said Romney "meant what he said" when Romney contended that 47 percent of Americans see themselves as victims entitled to government assistance.
Biden said, quote, "I don't recognize the country he's talking about."
Biden also criticized Romney for not condemning the recent remarks about rape and pregnancy made by Indiana's Republican Senate candidate, Richard Mourdock.

Very interesting and educational - well acted. Surprisingly small audience for a show that was reviewed favorably on NPR - maybe because performance time conflicted with the Bears game.

I enjoyed the parallel stories of Stuart's co-worker and Stuart's trial. The former seemed to outshine the latter. I also appreciated the inclusion of the purple hotel. The pace dragged at times, but overall this was well crafted.

Buying the tickets was really slick. We had to go to a different ticket office to pick them up, but other than that, it was a good experience. Finding our seats was really easy too. Especially with all the helpful folks around. Thanks.

Random Girl
I am chained.
You have pushed me into a chasm of despair. It grows deeper as I recall your bitter words and it grows wider when you remain silent. The swirling black fog of despondency refuses to lift. I can move but that chasm seems to move with me – a permanent distance between us. I will have to leap to escape it and you will have to dive. A slight resemblance, a familiar voice, hurls me deeper into the conflict that you do not feel. The chains that you have thrown around my emotions are only bound to you and my fight against them only weakens my resolve. Let them loose so that I can tread, just slightly. Let them loose or bind them forever with your heart.
Not a poem
(I found this last night. I wrote this back in 2009.)
Black and grey
That's all I see
Colourless and lifeless
Gloomy and depressing
Dark and haunting
Lonely and scared
Deserted and abandoned
Dead and corpse-like
Figures start to form in my eyes
Shuffling their feet
Each laboured breath
Each empty grasp
Each step harder
Trip over my feet
As I run to escape this horrible image
Following me
As I speed up
Trip to Kaghan Valley – Day 1
Kaghan Valley is an absolutely amazing place to visit in the summers. The roads are only open for a couple of months and the sooner you go after the roads have been opened, the greater the chances of you getting to view the frozen peaks and the main river that runs through the valley. It is located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan and is a great summer destination.
The tickets for our ride to Islamabad. The food that we got on the bus – a chicken-egg (not so sure) sandwich, a chocolate cupcake and a packet of plain biscuits.
Super excited, my sister, my two cousins and I boarded the Daewoo bus that was to travel to Islamabad from Lahore at 4 p.m. Because the stewardess was half an hour late, we ended up leaving at 4.30. Anyway, we had to leave on the 7th so that we would be able to leave on time the next day, which was early – very early.
Our journey began at 8 a.m on the 8th of June. 2 pairs of parents and 11 cousins climbed into the bus that we had hired to take us from Islamabad to Naran. We had decided to travel by bus since it would allow all of us to sit together and a long journey in separate cars can get a little boring. With our bags strapped on top and with our food items all packed inside the bus, we headed on our journey, tired but excited.
We started from Islamabad and made our first stop a couple of hours into the journey.
Just for the record. It was called "something Afghan Hotel". The angle did not allow me to see the full name of the place.
From there, we headed towards Mansehra and then to Abbottabad from where we went to Balakot. Getting into the mountains, we began to see the snow peaks. Now, I've never seen snow peaks live in my life before so I got really excited and took a million pictures like the one below. Little did I know that we would be living right under them.
Slowly getting into the mountains.
While going through Balakot, we decided to stop by the Kunhar River which runs through Balakot. It was the perfect place to stop since it allowed us to wake up a little, step into the water and enjoy the cool wind that blew over it. Despite the fact that the sun was glaring over our heads, it was a nice place to stop at for lunch.
It was very bright out there. The sound of the river rushing down, though, was absolutely amazing.
After everyone had stood by the river and steeped their feet into the extremely cold water, we decided to climb up and eat our biryani on charpaees. The mountain descends into the river and on that small hill, a few charpaees have been placed at a distance and semi-circle wooden structures with tarp tightened on them for shade are great since not only do they provide shelter but a fun place for visitors to sit and eat.
It was a great respite from the harsh sun that was beating down on our heads and when the wind would blow, it would throw an occasional gust of cold air across our way when it would blow directly over the river. However, the weather had, so far, been disappointing since we were expecting it to get colder as we climbed up higher.
Once we were done with lunch, we hopped back into the bus and looked forward to arriving in Naran, the main destination that attracts tourists and holiday-makers to Kaghan Valley.
There were a lot of these along the way since these streams comprise of the water that melts from glaciers and finds its way into the main river through the moutains. These were pretty amazing and were also very, very cold.
Who needs a refrigerator when you have a natural stream of cold water to do the job for you? These could be seen wherever a stray stream was found. This stream was on our right and the river was on the left so the water flowed across the road and down the mountain into the river.
Yup. These were on the road and we had to stop until they had all crossed it and climbed onto the mountain that steeped down to our left. They were a little stinky. Immensely adorable though, especially the baby goats.
More goats, grazing on the steep mountains like it was no big deal.
The entire way to Naran was absolutely beautiful since we had the river to our side throughout and the air was fresh and cold.
I think I took this one by hanging my arm outside since there was no other way for me to take a picture without the bus' window or windowframe interfering.
The closer we got to Naran, the bluer the skies and the greener the grass got. The view also became breathtakingly beautiful as we slowly creeped higher.
This was also taken with my arm hanging out and clutching onto the camera for dear life. If I dropped it, I'd be dead meat. The proximity of the mountains was proportional to my excitement. (Keep in mind that I'd never seen snow or snow-covered mountains before. Result? Another million pictures.)
Closer to Naran meant that we would be going through the ice glaciers that had been cleaned away to clear the road. So, when our bus went through it, we had massive ice deposits on both sides with ice cold water rushing under the wheels. It was pretty scary at first but after we got used to it, it got pretty epic.
One of the glaciers we had to go through.
This was pretty scary because there was a lot of water and the ice had all melted. Sorry about the blurry picture but it shows how fast the water was rushing down and how much of it there was. IT WAS AMAZING.
Pretty close to where we were supposed to stay in Naran, there were portions, on the mountains, that were still frozen and people were climbing them. You see those clean white trails in the snow? Sled trails. People were sledding on a random frozen stream on a mountain, for crying out loud! This was also pretty amazing.
Finally, after nine and a half hours, we arrived at PTDC, the motel that we were staying at.
This is what our room looked like.
We obviously needed two mattresses on the floor but this room was quite comfortable for 4 people.
The great thing about PTDC in Naran was that the river was just under us and we had to walk a little down the area to reach it. It even had a wooden suspension bridge which had nothing but mountains on the other side and when we climbed it, it had the most spectacular view of the snow peaks around us.
Once we arrived, we got into our respective rooms and changed into something warmer since it had gotten slightly chilly. After having tea, we decided to go down to the river and take some pictures. The sun had just creeped behind the mountains and it was cold and extremely serene.
The river curved behind this mountain and the bridge was located a little further to the left side of this picture.
After taking pictures to our hearts' content, we decided to visit the small bazaar located just a little outside PTDC. We did not get to discover much of this bazaar since we had embarked on a journey to look for chapli kebabs (since it was nearly dinner time) but we saw some pretty cool things, over-sized vegetables on proud display being one of them.
Shinkayaari's Famous Chapli (or Chapal, whatever you prefer to call them) Kebab. Success!
One of the coolest things I saw there. This shower head sprayed water over a huge cement square which held sodas and water bottles. A pipe ran out of this cement square and directed the water into this huge steel bucket which held even more sodas and water bottles. Ingenuity at its best. They didn't need fancy gadgets or electricity to cool things down. Nature's provision and household items seemed to do the trick. We ran our hands under this and I don't think I need to say that the water was freezing cold.
Once we had equipped ourselves with chapli kebabs, we headed back to PTDC and into their restaurant/dining hall for dinner.
Big enough to accommodate our family!
We only ended up getting soup and fries from the menu since we had a lot of our biryani with us and the chapli kebabs to accompany it.
This was surprisingly delicious and it was pretty cold outside. Nothing like chicken corn soup to warm you up.
My plate of food (going clockwise, starting at 12 o clock): biryani with raita, chapli kebab and naan.
No huge family meal of ours is complete without a couple of plates of french fries.
Dinner was a relatively quite affair since we were all immensely tired and we all wanted to head back to our rooms for some sleep.
Before we did, however, we did enquire, from fellow PTDC guests, about the places that we wanted to visit the next day. Turned out that most of them had gotten there the same day as we had so they were as clueless as we were. Since it was cold and we were all exhausted, we headed back to our rooms and were all fast asleep by 11 p.m. Thus ended our first exhausting but immensely fun day.
Second day to come soon!
Let's Write About Travels!
Recently, I went on a family trip to Kaghan Valley which is located in the north-west province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan. I wanted to write about it but, as mentioned in my last post, my laziness overtook me and instead of posting on my blog, I started posting daily drawings on Instagram.
However, since I have taken an oath to pay more attention to my blog, I will be writing about my 3-day trip, posting an entire day in each post. I'll try to keep it brief and it'll have lots of pictures. It was an absolutely amazing place and I would certainly go back, if given the opportunity to do so. I hope you will read my rambles about my pretty short but pretty awesome trip!
To give you an idea of the place, we got to see these beautiful peaks every day, most of the day. It was pretty amazing.
As a random question, what is the last place you travelled to or visited and what did you like/dislike about it and why?
P.s. This is meant to be an attempt at travel blogging. I hope I do it justice.

A bill (H.R. 252) introduced by Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) would require all hospitals that are reimbursed under Medicare to follow security regulations set out by the government regarding infant abduction. The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) would be required to promulgate interim regulations within 12 months of the bill's passage. The security procedures would be designed to reduce the likelihood of infant abduction and infant switching.
