If I remember correctly, somewhere on Cape Cod there used to be a solar-powered demo house that had an outdoor system of water purification tanks that used plants, fish and whatever to clean the water... and perhaps it had a secondary use. I remember visiting this place as a kid, and would like to know if it still exists, or was it a late '70's energy-crisis oasis that vanished?
Sorry to sound so vague, i haven't had much luck finding info on it, so I can only offer my vague memories... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hmmm - can't find any info about a house near Cape Cod; but in the book "Gaia's Garden" by Toby Hemenway, the chapter on "Catching, Conserving, and Using Water" has some information about a home/office north of San Fransico that uses a marsh and series of small ponds to reclaim grey water and contain rainwater as well. They have a list of plants that are suggested for bog gardens; e-mail me if you'd like a copy. |

That sort of sounds like the Solviva house (www.solviva.com, I think), but its on either Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard (don't remember which). It's for sale now, I think. |

I think you're looking for the now-defunct New Alchemy Institute in Falmouth. I spent some time there in 1985, took an integrated aquaculture course in the spring, interned in the summer and took apermaculture design course in the fall-during hurricane Gloria! John Todd was one of the founders of NAI and is the founder of Living Technologies. His Living Machines are cleaning up a lot of dirty water. Patti |

They do that with the sewage on the island of Bonaire. They dump it into a little dammed off valley and let stuff come grow in it. Place has become a magnet for birds who come for the critters who come for the sewage. Doesn't work for heavy metals, but is great for run of the mill sewage. |

Toyota Sienna Audio/Entertainment Questions
jurisdoctor200 Posts: 108 Sienna's DVD player is not working. The DVD is in the player and we can hear it playing, however, there is no picture. Also, will not eject the DVD. HELP please! Toyota Svc department is clueless and indicated that they'll have to call the manufacturer. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.
kjo Posts: 24
akempf Posts: 1Have an 06 LE that has developed a DVD problem. Whenever we but a DVD into the player I can here what sounds like the DVD spinning but all we get is a check disc error. I have tried about a half a dozen discs and they all have the same message when I try to play them. Some of them are ones that have been played in the player before. I have checked the disc for scratchs and dust but the all look fine and they will play in the DVD player we have in the house.
maferena Posts: 3I would like to install a dvd player in an 06 Sienna. There are no existing rear audio controls. Does this make installation more complicated? I want wireless headphones, but I am ok with in dash or the dvd attached to the monitor. Is in deck much more complicated? Have I limited myself by not purchasing a van with existing rear audio controls?
ateixeira Posts: 72,587My 07 didn't have rear audio controls and the tech at Circuit City said it wasn't hard to install an overhead 12" DVD screen on my van. It was on sale for $900 installed.
They had an 8 or 9" model for $600 installed.
Mine came with 2 wireless headphones. We love it. Kids are happy, everyone's happy. No more "are we there yet?".
Came in handy last night, actually. :shades: -
lindaleee Posts: 1I have the same exact problem w/ my Sienna 05. Flashes load, then spits it out. I was told to try a cd cleaning and that didn't work for me, I also used compressed air and nothing. They said the laser is probably out of alignment. Mine failed right after my 3 yrs warranty was up. The toyota dealer said it could run close to 300- to fix. It's a flat rate they charge now. Also my audio guy said the same thing 300- Is your model # 16862? If you decide to buy from a retailer (cd player) you will lose the cassette player. I guess they give you something to fill-in the space.
Please let me if you resolved your problem and maybe clue me in. I also saw the cd players listed on ebay. -
akin Posts: 24Is the radio supposed to mute or lower the volume when the nav voice commands come on? I just picked up a Sienna last night and on the drive home noticed that the radio volume never lowered or muted whenever the nav voice commands were broadcast. Is there a setting for this?
The unit must have the capability since whenever a phone call comes in (through bluetooth) the radio mutes until you get off the phone. -
tanker5 Posts: 36Akin
I have the 2006 Sienna and my nav voice which I call "Little Bit" when she is right is controllable on the setup menu so you can make it louder than your usual volume on the radio. The nav voice comes out of the left front speaker. My radio voice isnot lowered or muted when the nav voice activates. Tanker5 -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Check out their installation area, see if it looks professional, clean, well equipped. I'm not sure how much stuff like that Costco works on.
I went to Circuit City for mine, a 12.1" Jenson DVD. It was on sale at the time for $900.
The install was OK - not perfect. They were not that neat, and they hooked up the dome light to the driver's door instead of hooking it up to the main light switch relay on the dash. Not a big deal, but not perfect.
The DVD has worked well but for some reason the remote isn't working, maybe it needs batteries.
The 12" screen is beautiful and the headphones work like a charm. Also, the aux input on the Sienna's stereo plugs directly to the output on the back of the DVD player, so the in-car sound is perfect. Cool thing is I found out you can use a spare wire from your computer speakers, too.
Overall I'm happy, just check out the installers, make sure they know what they're doing. -
cadman3 Posts: 1Hi Rick,
I just purchased a 2005 Sienna and am dealing with the same thing you were. It has the rear audio on the roof. Just wondering if you found a cord to allow you to put up a non-factory DVD player or did you bite the bullet and purchase a factory DVD player.
Thanks for any info.

julia21136 Posts: 1Hi,
I got my basic '08 Sienna LE after driving Chevy Venture '01 for a few years .
I love my new car, but the sound system is HORRIBLE.
Whenever i would like to HEAR something and crank up the sound it just makes is louder, but not clearer, so i still cannot hear it.
While driving rental Sienna i noticed the same poor quality of sound. Granted, i have no idea what was in my old van had, but i want it back.
My car's been recked a few weeks ago, so the doors need to be re-assembled now. It will be worked on in the next few weeks, and i thought it might be a good opportunity to make it to my liking.
Honestly, i am pretty clueless about what the car sound system is/supposed to be. My Toyota sales rep i spoke to yesterday told me that LE has "the best sound system" but that obviously not working for me.
Any advise - please please - would be greatly appreciated.
I live in northwest Baltimore county.
Julia -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587You probably have the same system I have.
High-end packages on the LE models and XLE models have JBL sound, and those are a lot better.
The basic system is OK, but if you're an audiophile I would look at an aftermarket upgrade. You can probably do better for the cost of the OE JBL system. -

dwijit Posts: 2I recently purchased an 05 sienna, and had to have the dvd player replaced, I had a factory dvd player put in, and since I never saw its predecessor work, I have no idea on how to switch the sound over from headphones, to stereo speakers. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Any answer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks -
vinijin Posts: 28I want to buy 09 Sienna LE with JBL sound system and DVD player. I want to install in Dash Navigation with rear view camera. What are pros and cons for doing this ? Will I loose my bluetooth capabilities ? What other features will I loose because they will replace existing CD player with Aftermarket navigation/CD player ? I will really appreciate your comments
njhtdn Posts: 5We have a 2007 Sienna - limited, with a couple options for customizing audio / video. The first one is the AUX port (assume that would work great for our ipod with a mini-pin connector) but we recently bought a Touch, downloaded some videos, connected the Touch to the 3-wire cables in back (audio, video, etc.) and what we ended up with is the video on the built-in DVD player and the audio on the wireless headphones. Since we have a little one who HATES headphones, does anyone know a way to make this work - without just adding a small speakerk off the headphone jack on the DVD player? I looked at the manual, but since the Touch is realatively new, it didn't address anything like that - that I've found.
Thanks! -
tanker5 Posts: 36I have a 2006 and I just activate the Aux button on the dash and the DVD sound is now on the radio speakers and broadcasts to the rear as well. No headsets are required. The problem is then that you donot have have separate speakers for sound from a radio station or CD for the driver /passenger. Tanker5
skluz Posts: 5We just purchased a 2009 Sienna. We're loving it but we're currently unable to get the rear entertainment center's video input audio to broadcast over the vehicle's speakers. The speakers always broadcast what's playing on the DVD input when we have the front stereo switched to the Disc/Aux mode. The wireless headphones are able to switch when the two inputs are selected which makes me think this is either as designed or a wiring problem that we're going to have to take the thing into have fixed.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm really hoping I'm just missing a button somewhere. So far the Sienna has been a great vehicle with a ton of features. It's just disappointing when things don't work as expected.

There is a fine example of a playground near to me. The whole area has been recently revamped; it has been very well done. The schools were on holiday last week so it was very busy with children from toddlers, through to teenagers in evidence. The playground is in the centre of a high rise complex so the youngsters do not have the luxury of their own gardens to play in, they have to go elsewhere. There were also lots of mothers enjoying the late summer sun. I was pleased to see that there were some inviting benches for them to sit and socialise.
All very well you may say, so what is the problem? The designers missed a trick as they did not make use of any ground or wall space. They had instead concentrated on providing attractive playground equipment. What a shame as the children could have benefited in so many ways from a few simple playground markings as well. Not only would there have been more variety, the children would have profited in so many other ways as well.
The age of children playing together is dead, or so we are told by the media. Well introduce youngsters to the age-old favourite of hopscotch and snakes and ladders and you will soon have a group of youngsters actively involved together, counting scores and in gentle competition. Children need to learn to be competitive, but also to lose graciously, what better than learning through these types of games? Often these are viewed as girls' games, but this is untrue and many of our budding sportsmen would do well to learn to win and lose courteously.
Another engaging activity involves fitness circuits, something as simple as running lanes or a numbered circuit with varied challenges where again there can be competition alongside developing personal skills. Many young people in this area will not be taken to expensive gyms or coaching lessons so this would be a definite bonus. The beauty is you do not need a lot of space for this.
Children of all ages love mazes, these are great for encouraging problem solving, again only a small space is required. Add to these hopping and jumping games for maximum fun.
As a child I remember hopping games where we recited the alphabet or numbers in order. This was always great fun and very sociable. Many playground games and playground markings were invented around this. So any self-respecting playground should have some sort of markings on the ground to encourage this.
This particular playground adjoins pitches with changing rooms, one side of the area has the wall of the changing rooms as a boundary. This wall is very bland and uninviting and would benefit from painted markings for target practice. How easy to paint a dartboard, hoopla, target practices and the like. This would develop hand-eye-co-ordination, the added benefit is that scores have to be kept, mental addition but not so that the young people would notice!
I could go on and on extolling the benefits of such simple markings. The addition of these would turn a very fine playground area into a more challenging and exciting area for youngsters of school age.
Playground markings are a great way to improve the aesthetics of your playground and add a new dimension of fun for the children without ... Read More

Open for business -- if there's any business to be had, that is. In these dog days of summer, the economy bites. And when President George Bush breezed through town earlier this month and then departed with a fast sack of cash, he left Colorado a million bucks poorer.
Fresh from a prospecting trip to California with Governor Bill Owens, Bush's buddy, Hickenlooper plans to hold a series of economic forums around the city -- tagged Jumpstart Denver -- to collect marketing ideas from homegrown businesses and residents alike. But in the meantime, here's a jump start on other eco-devo opportunities:
This Denver City Council for sale: No, no, nothing as blatant as buying a new councilmember's vote outright. (Leave that to the tobacco lobby later in the term.) Denver's ten brand-spanking-new city council members are so thrilled with their positions that, at an early retreat, they decided to revamp the composition of the council's longtime committees -- and slap on some shiny new names, too. So now Planning is Blueprint Denver, and Human Services has become Human Capital.
But why stop there? Why not sell the committee names altogether? Turn the nitwitted Human Capital into the dollars-and-sensible Human Capital Federal Savings, for example, or Little Debbie Services, so that the humans who face cutbacks in the most basic services can at least eat cake. And speaking of cake, rather than try to prevent Channel 8 from televising committee meetings where snacks are consumed, councilmembers should sell product placements. If The Restaurant worked for Coors Light, just imagine how Coors Light could work for Denver City Council. And councilmembers could use the proceeds from their sales to help fund the fancy refurbishing of their offices now under way at City Hall.
This space for sale: Hickenlooper's first public campaign was the fight to save the Mile High Stadium name, an effort that elevated his political aspirations. Today the mayor calls the Broncos' home by its store-bought name, Invesco Field at Mile High, and the city's exploring the possibility of selling naming rights to the 5,000-seat lecture hall that will debut at the new Colorado Convention Center. Sadly, state rules prohibit selling the name of the center itself, but there's still that convention-center hotel that then-mayor Wellington Webb pushed through. Maybe developer Bruce Berger, who lost the chance to build the hotel himself, will still want to put his name on the facility that's now being built with city-issued bonds. Otherwise, Innvesco should work just fine.
This space for rent: Webb left behind another economic opportunity: those giant photos of Hizformerhonor welcoming visitors to Denver International Airport. Hickenlooper has already said that replacing the current displays is a low priority for his cash-strapped administration, and when it's done, the space will be filled by something other than his own smiling mug. But in the meantime, this valuable real estate could be rented to entities willing to put pretty pictures over Webb's face. Rocky's Auto could take a page from its Christmas campaign and hang a nice photo of a babbling brook with its logo. Or another company could put its brand on a downtown skyline scene -- no, wait, Qwest's already done that to the real thing. But certainly McDonald's would pay to post that picture of Owens and Hickenlooper munching Big Macs during a fast-food stop on their California trip.
Gateway from California: That trip to California may have been a tad tardy -- who wants to leave the Golden State when they can be part of the recall circus? -- and so is this proposal. Over 111,000 people relocated from California to Colorado in those long-lost boom years between 1995 and 2000 (that's 17.3 percent of the total who moved here), and if we'd collected a $100 toll from every Californian entering the state, we could repair some of the highways their cars have torn up. Still, it's not too late to start levying this toll now. And double it for Kobe Bryant.
Gateway to Eagle County: And while we're at it, charge any national media figure heading into Eagle County to cover the Kobe Bryant case a $1,000 toll. If we'd done the same for the celeb reporters flooding Boulder when the JonBenét Ramsey story was still hot, Colorado wouldn't be in such a financial fix today. (Geraldo Rivera can get a frequent-filer discount.) And since Colorado's court system is particularly scrapped, Eagle County should charge a nuisance fee to any buttinsky out-of-state attorney filing a motion in the case, like Florida lawyer Jack Thompson, who wants television cameras banned during Bryant's preliminary hearing so that young people won't be exposed to the sordid sight.
Gateway to Eagle County, redux: And it was just a few months ago that Vail was known as a hotbed of true love, not sexual assault. Remember when former football player and part-time Vail firefighter Ryan Sutter won Trista Rehn on The Bachelorette? Assuming the lovebirds keep cooing, they'll be the recipients of an ABC-produced wedding and tie the knot in Vail, where they're already "goodwill ambassadors" -- giving all of Eagle County a chance to redeem itself. (How about a honeymoon at Cordillera?) Another cupid connection: Jessica Lynch, heroine soldier, reportedly plans to marry Army Sergeant Ruben Contreras in Colorado next year.

1) Utah did not pass the law - the bill passed the House of Representatives. It did not pass the Senate, nor was it signed into law by the governor.

Tough question.
I suppose if you didn't want to open carry, you could carry your firearm without the magazine in it and then keep the loaded magazine elsewhere on your body. If needed, you can pull the gun out, insert magazine and chamber a round and be ready to go. It's not a perfect solution since anything that doesn't respect the full status of the 2nd Amendment is still a restriction on our rights, but it opens up options to people.

One Step at a Time
Carrying a gun unloaded is the first step. After it's demonstrated to be so good then it's more likely to have everyone accept guns to be concealed AND loaded. Some people just have to be spoon fed the 2nd Amendment, it's irritating, but we'll keep at it. Whatever it takes, our rights will come back to us in full force.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Maxwell!
Facts about Maxwell
- Breed: Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Maxwell's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
URGENT: the primarily foster home, Dogpatch Hollar at the Branch, of Our Gang Rescue is being forced to rehome dogs due the Miami Township (Clermont County, OH) ordinance of a 3 pet limit. All but 3 of the dogs will be relocated to temporary housing, but adoption or fostering is needed. Rehoming donations have been reduced to $100 with an approved application, home visit, and signed contract. These are great dogs deserving a great home & family.
Maxwell is 1/3 of the 3 Stooges. He came into Our Gang Rescue a week after other very similar puppies. Maxwell's story is he was found at a swim club and after checking the neighborhood, nobody claimed this sweet boy. Maxwell is what I call a floppy dog. He loves to flop over on his back to get loving attention. He loves to flop in you arms and be held like a baby. He loves to just flop over. Maxwell has gone on some outings with me, so if you like a traveling companion, Maxwell is the dog for you. Please contact Our Gang Rescue to adopt Maxwell
Other Pets at Our Gang Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Maxwell, a Cincinnati Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Cincinnati, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy from a breeder in Cincinnati.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cincinnati already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cincinnati breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cincinnati paves the way for another one to be saved.

Necklace- Forever 21 | Chambray- JCrew | Vest- JCPenney | Pants- JCPenney | Boots- White Mountain (TJMaxx) | Bag- Vintage Coach Willis
A fur vest is one of those perfect fall/winter pieces that can easily be dressed up or down. It's fabulous for layering and takes a basic look up a notch.
An outfit like this – without the vest – is what you'll find me in on most weekends, running around town. Pairing the fur vest with more casual pieces, like my go-to chambray shirt, is a perfect way to get a slightly dressier day time look without really having to change anything.
Also pair it with: long-sleeved dress, leather pants, printed skirt, wide legged jeans- a la Rachel Zoe

Leadership Development
Empowerment Camps and Fun Run!
The Komera Project sponsors an annual "Girls Fun Run" in Rwinkwavu, Rwanda, which draws over 400 participants and promotes girls' empowerment and education through sport. It is a girls-only event that not only empowers the girls but also encourages the local boys to support the girls as they complete the run. The run provides a platform for the community to gather and celebrate the women and girls of Rwinkwavu.
Following the fun run, the Komera Project and IMB host the Komera/IMB scholars for an afternoon of empowerment, education and camaraderie. This camp is one in a series of empowerment camps. Building community and trust among the scholars is an important aspect of our program. Many Komera scholars do not have a family or a support system, and their fellow scholars become their network. The Empowerment Camp facilitates open communication, discussion of local issues, and health related education.
In addition to building a community of support, the Komera/IMB Scholars are given targeted training modules on leadership and social entrepreneurship. The Komera Project believes that social change can and will be driven by women at the grassroots level.

text: A comedy about lifelong friends who still live in the old neighborhood, Queens Logic paints a group portrait of guys who've hit their mid-30s but haven't grown up. The impressive ensemble includes Joe Mantegna, John Malkovich, Kevin Bacon, Chloe Webb, Ken Olin, and Jamie Lee Curtis. And if those names suggest a cross between Diner and thirtysomething well, that is the basic idea. The script by costar Tony Spiridakis, however, is built on clichés and caricatures, and while the actors go at it wholeheartedly, they often end up accentuating all the falsest notes. If the film plays better on video, that may be because it's as broadly drawn as your average TV movie. C

Yukio Hatoyama plays the first female president of the US
A former Japanese Prime Minister yesterday (14 January) made his musical debut musical in Tokyo – in drag!
Yukio Hatoyama played retired politician Rosario, who served as the first female president of the US, a part that required both singing and dancing.
Other cast members in the original production, Waist Size Story, included Orix senior chairman Yoshihiko Miyauchi and Japanese Red Cross Society president Tadateru Konoe.
The musical tells the story of former delinquents, who are now in their late 60s and live on the West Side of Manhattan.
Taiga Ishikawa could become the first out male lawmaker in the country
A LGBTI Tokyo assemblyman has announced that he will run for parliament in next month's elections.
If successful, Taiga Ishikawa, 40, will become the first gay male lawmaker in the conservative country.
'My goal is to promote diversity in the community,' he told the Wall Street Journal.
The 'accidental activist' tells GSN how changing her gender marker changed her life
It took Geena Rocero nearly a decade to come out publicly as transgender from the time she moved to New York to become a model. But when she did, she came out to an audience of 2 million and counting in a TED talk on March 31, the International Transgender Day of Visibility.
Rocero, 30, grew up in Manila and entered and won her first beauty pageant at the age of 15. She originally intended to follow her transgender friends to Japan, but she changed her plans when she found out she could change her gender marker in California - and in doing so change her life.
Akie Abe wore rainbow badges and appeared on a float at Tokyo's annual gay pride parade
Akie Abe, the first lady of Japan, joined gay, lesbian and transgender people celebrating gay pride in Tokyo, Japan today (27 April).
Abe was joined by over 3,000 participants in the Shibuya district of Tokyo.
The 51-year-old, who is the wife of conservative Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, wore a white suit adorned with rainbow badges.
She went on to post colourful pictures on her Facebook page of her on a pride float next to a drag queen, smiling and waving to the crowds.
A HIV awareness billboard that was erected in Tokyo's Ni-chome gay district has been repeatedly banned by local officials because it contained an image of a gay man's underpants
Local authorities in the Japanese capital repeatedly banned a HIV awareness billboard that featured cartoon gay men because one of the men's underpants could be seen.
The billboard was erected in Toyko's Ni-chome gay district in Shinjuku by ViiV Healthcare and designed by manga artist Poko Murata.
The billboard depicts a group of men lying down in a circle head-to-head resting against one another – and one of them, a body builder, is wearing just underpants. The rest of the characters on the billboard are fully clothed.
IOC spokesman says countries who do not abide by an anti-discrimination rule could factor in decisions on the bidding process
Russia, and other countries with homophobic laws, could be banned from hosting the Olympics under a proposed new rule.
The International Olympics Committee has responded to calls that countries must abide by a specific anti-discrimination decree modelled on the Olympic Charter's Principle 6.
Principle 6 says sport does not discriminate on any grounds, including race, religion, politics or gender.

If you want disco balls and flashing lights on your travels through the Orient, an epic boogie in Asia is not a difficult task.
The Far East offers travellers stunning beaches for relaxing and unique cities for exploring, but of interest to the club-bound, the gay party scene in many Asian countries has long been a force to be reckoned with.
Freedom from sexual labeling makes many Asian countries an attractive destination for LGBTI travellers, who contribute to the growing visibility of local gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities.

The Supreme Court of Japan has ruled that a female-to-male transgender man must be recorded as his child's father, despite the child being created with donor sperm, in the first decision of its kind.
The 31-year-old unnamed man legally married his wife in 2008 after undergoing sex change procedures and she gave birth to their son in 2009 after undergoing artificial insemination.
Travel definitely broadens the mind - after a recent visit to Japan, Gay Star Travel compiles a random list of stuff that we now know
I do love Japan. It's one of those countries that definitely takes you out of your comfort zone - the language, the signage, the culture - it's one of the few places in the world where (as a visitor) it's hard not to feel very 'foreign'.
This trip was my second visit to Japan. The first time around was only a quick visit to Tokyo - this time I was working here for three weeks, so it was a good chance to get to grips a bit more with how this country works.
A quick-fire tour of Japan's three major cities is a full-blown sensory experience with stunning city landscapes and delicious meals
If you've only got limited time to explore a destination then a guided tour of some kind can be a useful way to discover and experience some of the key highlights - possibly giving you an appetite and the confidence to return at another time when you can travel at a more relaxed pace.
I was in Japan for a travel conference - this was taking place in Yokohama, Japan's second-largest city and not far from the capital Tokyo. Helpfully the conference organizers had arranged a quick tour for those of us who wanted to see a bit more of Japan than just the airports and hotels.
Immerse yourself in the neighborhoods and flavors of Japan's exciting and dynamic capital
About 12 months ago I made my first visit to Tokyo.
In a globalized and interconnected world, it was intriguing to experience a city where I truly felt 'foreign'.
On that trip I was treating myself for my 40th birthday, so I stayed at the luxurious Park Hyatt and channelled my inner Scarlett Johansson. Truly memorable.
Boarding the Virgin Atlantic flight from London's Heathrow Airport, I was excited to be heading back.
Yodogawa ward in the city of Osaka has become the first government area to officially support the inclusion of LGBTs, passing a groundbreaking resolution
A local government area in the city of Osaka has become the first Japanese district to officially support the inclusion of LGBT people in society.
Yodogawa ward, one of 24 wards in the city of Osaka, passed a resolution following a consultation with residents on LGBT issues which included Hiroko and Koyuki Higashi – the first same-sex couple married at Tokyo Disneyland in March of this year.
Todd Sears, who has been influential in showing investment banks the business case for more LGBT-inclusive workplaces, spoke at an event in Hong Kong that was video conferenced to eight other cities in the region
LGBT-inclusive workplaces guru Todd Sears spoke at an event in Hong Kong yesterday to inspire corporations to improve office environments for gay, bi and trans employees.
The Goldman Sachs event entitled Raise Your LGBT Ally Game focused on getting straight supporters of LGBT rights to become active in creating a more inclusive workplace.
The talk was video conferenced to eight cities across the region - Beijing, Bangalore, Melbourne, Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo - where around 200 people logged-on to hear what Sears had to say.
Borris Dittrich, former Dutch MP and LGBT director for Human Rights Watch, said 'the start is happening now'
The man who helped make the Netherlands the first country in the world to legalize gay marriage in 2001 has said 'the start is happening now' for the same in Japan.
Borris Dittrich, former Dutch MP and LGBT director for Human Rights Watch said in an interview with the Japan Daily Press:
Around 3,000 participated in the second, and most visible, day of Tokyo Rainbow Week with a parade and park party today
Tokyo Rainbow Week continued today (28 April) with its second, and perhaps most visible event, the Tokyo Rainbow Pride Parade.
Gay Star News was at the parade.
The event started in the 'Pride Village' in Yoyogi Park, where about 3,000 people gathered to watch performances, visit booths, and then to parade through the streets of Shibuya and back to the park.
Several corporations were at the event, including Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Google, IBM, Phillips, and UBS.
Tokyo Rainbow Week 2013 kicked off with a 'Colorful Eve Reception' at the residence of the ambassador of the Netherlands
The Dutch ambassador to Japan has kicked-off Tokyo Rainbow Week 2013 with a colorful reception for the LGBT community and their supporters.
Tokyo Rainbow Week is dedicated to supporting Japan's sexual minority community, creating a friendly and accepting society where anybody can be themselves and lead 'a life of happiness and optimism'.
Sunil Pant has come along way from not even knowing the word for gay before he was twenty to getting LGBTI rights recognized by the Supreme Court in Nepal, and he's not going to let current troubles hold him back
It's not an easy time for Sunil Pant, founder of the largest LGBT rights group in Nepal, Blue Diamond Society (BDS). A government office has sat on the renewal of BDS's license, holding-up funding so that staff haven't been paid for months. LGBTI activists are also being harassed, which Pant links to the same government officer.
Japan's police arrested two staff of a gay shop for selling photography books which included pictures of nude men
Tokyo's metropolitan police announced that it arrested staff of a gay store in the Shinjuku district for selling a book by photographer Leslie Kee that included images of full male nudity, which they deemed 'obscene'.
Officers took into custody yesterday (15 March) the 61-year-old manager of Lumiere, a shop located in Tokyo's gay quarter that sells DVDs and magazines, and one other employee.
The manager of Lumiere told officers that the editor of Japan's gay magazine Badi said that selling Kee's books is not illegal as they are considered artistic.
Gay rights activist and her girlfriend marry in double bridal white wedding in Tokyo Disneyland
When Japanese gay rights activist Koyuki Higashi contacted Tokyo Disneyland last year to ask if they would host her wedding to her girlfriend it sounded like an awareness-raising stunt, but in fact she did dream of a white wedding at Disneyland and last Friday the dream came true.
'My partner Hiroko and I just held a gay wedding at the Tokyo Disney Resort. Even Mickey and Minnie are here to celebrate with us!' said Higashi in a tweet, accompanied by a photo of the new wives with the Disney characters, that was retweeted 6,000 times.
GSN travels to the Swiss party capital to check on preparations for pride in 2013
If you were academically inclined, the evolution of LGBT 'Pride' events around the world would make an interesting dissertation subject.
What began in cities such as San Francisco and New York as small angry protests, demanding equality and an end to discrimination, has now become a fixture on the calendar of most major urban centers around the world.
GSN meets the girl from Liverpool who is committed to achieving equality for gays and lesbians in Japan and has become a key part of Tokyo Rainbow Pride
On a recent visit to Tokyo, Lauren Anderson's name seem to come up a lot. The English communications officer for Tokyo Rainbow Pride - it was clear from the people that I spoke to in Japan that Anderson was well connected and well respected.
After an exchange of emails, we worked out that we would both be in London in December. We met in a Giraffe restaurant in the The Brunswick shopping centre in Bloomsbury, close to where Anderson is studying.

Digital Fabrication
It seems like nearly every video from the MIT MediaLab is bound to be come a "holy-crap-technology-is-awesome" viral hit, and the latest one from the Mediated Matter group is no exception. Unveiled last week, the Silk Pavilion "explores the relationship between digital and biological fabrication on product and architectural scales."
Inspired by the silkworm's ability to generate a 3D cocoon out of a single multi-property silk thread (1km in length), the overall geometry of the pavilion was created using an algorithm that assigns a single continuous thread across patches providing various degrees of density. Overall density variation was informed by the silkworm itself deployed as a biological "printer" in the creation of a secondary structure. A swarm of 6,500 silkworms was positioned at the bottom rim of the scaffold spinning flat non-woven silk patches as they locally reinforced the gaps across CNC-deposited silk fibers.
It reportedly takes roughly 5,500 larvae to produce one kilogram of raw silk, so the swarm of silkworms enlisted to fabricate the pavilion deposited just over two and a half pounds of their gossamer saliva (it solidifies when exposed to air) across the 26 panels of the prefabricated primary structure. Each of these artificially-laced polygons is intended to be a magnified analog of the much finer structure that the silkworms instinctively spin in the smaller negative spaces.
SEM Microscope images by James Weaver
Motion tracking experiments by Markus Kayser & Carlos David Gonzalez
In traditional sericulture, the pupae of the Bombyx mori must be exterminated prior to the point at which they release proteolytic enzymes to break down the cocoon (and emerge as adult moths); the precious yield degrades upon exposure to the biological compound. (Interestingly, the enzymatic degradation of silk is of interest for medical applications, i.e. sutures.1) Boiling the cotton-ball-like cocoons effectively prevents the pupae from maturing and also happens to facilitate the subsequent unravelling of the silk.2
Modeling by Jorge Duro-Royo
Not only has the Mediated Matter team managed to harvest the silk in situ (so to speak), but they've also managed to breed a veritable swarm of domesticated silkmoths—"following their pupation stage the silkworms were removed"—and indeed an adult moth is shown at the end of the video. However, I do wish they would elaborate on the statement that "resulting moths can produce 1.5 million eggs with the potential [to construct] up to 250 additional pavilions." Cursory research indicates that typical female lays up to 500 eggs, which corresponds to the figure (assuming half of the original 6,500 are male), but—based on my admittedly borrowed understanding of entomology—250 seems like a wildly optimistic projection... to say nothing of the fact that fabricating the superstructure would likely be the limiting factor in scalability.
Vertex detail (photo by Markus Kayser)
Of course, this is precisely the twofold purpose of the pavilion: both to demonstrate the feasibility of using silkworms to 'extrude' raw material at anthropomorphic scale and to explore biomimetic architecture by designing a fibrous, non-woven structure. The methodology begins and ends with the silkworm, but the Silk Pavilion is not just an experiment in harnessing the creature's prodigious ability—it's also a step towards developing a symbiotic design and fabrication process.
Neri Oxman, Director of the Mediated Matter lab, oversaw the research conducted by MIT's Markus Kayser, Jared Laucks, Carlos David Gonzalez Uribe and Jorge Duro-Royo along with Fiorenzo Omenetto of Tufts University and James Weaver of Harvard's Wyss Institute.

1.) I was also interested to learn (via Wikipedia) that a team at the National University of Singapore has successfully developed a ballistic and bulletproof 'super silk'; news article here (PDF).

Elkton Woman Pleads Guilty to Laundering over $400,00 in Drug Proceeds
Used Drug Proceeds to Gamble, Buy Numerous Properties and Give to Operators of Used Car Businesses
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Special Agent in Charge Rebecca Sparkman of the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation, Washington, D.C. Field Office; Baltimore City State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein; and Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III.
According to Edison's plea agreement, from December 2003 to August 2010 Edison and her co-conspirators conducted financial transactions to conceal over $400,000 generated from the sale of heroin in Baltimore City. Edison and her co-conspirators used the cash proceeds of drug sales to: gamble at Las Vegas casinos, for which the "cash-outs" exceeded $184,000; purchase "winning" Maryland lottery tickets in amounts exceeding $138,000 in order to disguise drug proceeds as legitimate lottery winnings; deposit over $79,000 into Edison's bank accounts during 2007 and 2008; give hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash to individuals operating used car businesses; and buy a residence for Edison in Elkton and at least seven properties in Baltimore.
Edison faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz has scheduled sentencing for August 12, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. As part of her plea agreement, Edison agrees to forfeit her interest in eight properties purchased with drug proceeds and any other property purchased with drug trafficking proceeds.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked Baltimore City State's Attorney's Officel Studdard and Tim Lake; the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York; the DEA and FBI, and their New York offices; and the Maryland State Police for their assistance in this investigation. Mr Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorneys James G. Warwick and James T. Wallner, who are prosecuting this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

Is anyone making this shawl as seen in the Aug. 2005 Crochet World Mag? The first mistake in the pattern is in the starting chain, which is the wrong number of chains. The skill level is stated as intermediate, but the pineapples are easy for any beginner who knows how to dc. I am on row 7 and having no problem with the stitch pattern which consists of alternating rows of oversized pineaples to fill a long triangle shawl. I will go to the website to see if it being discussed by anyone there. |

[171] Relevance of Multiple Breast Cancer Cell Lines as Models for Breast Cancers
YJ Choi. Yale University School of Medicine, Bridgeport, CT
Background: Back ground: Breast cancer consists of a heterogenous population of cancer cells. Testing multiple breast cancer cell lines (BCC) would reflect the reasonably acceptable model of breast cancer in vivo. Most studies involve only a few BCC. Here, we tested 11 different pheno and geno-types of BCC focusing on ERβ expression together with breast cancer tissues as previous studies on ERβ have shown inconsistent results.
Design: BCC consisted of (1) MCF-7, T-47D, ZR-75 representing luminal epithelial-like cell type, (2) MDA-MB-361,MB 468, BT 474, MDA-MB-453, SK-BR-3 as weakly luminal epithelial-like type with Her-2 over expression, and (3) MDA-MB-231, Hs578T, BT-549 highly invasive, stromal/mesenchymal-like type. Tissue microarray sections of 11 BCC and 224 breast cancer tissues were tested for the expression of ERβ isoforms using three different clones (PG10, Dako;14C8,ABCAM ;AR385-5R, Biogenex) and also for ERα (ID5, Dako), Her-2 (HercepTest, Dako), PR, smooth muscle actin, vimentin, cyokeratin (AE1/AE3), and CK5/6 using the standard immunohistochemistry procedure after appropriate antigen retrieval and serum blocking. Over 5% nuclear or cytoplasmic expression was considered to be positive.
Results: Nine BCC except BT 549 and Hs578T maintained epithelial phenotype with positive cytokeratin. The luminal type, MCF-7 and T47D, ZR-75 were ERα+/PR+/Her-2-/cytokeratin + /vimentin- with high expression of ERβ. Five weakly luminal types were ERα-/PR+/Her-2 + /vimentin-/actin-/ERβ+ and 2 were ERα-/PR-/Her-2-/ERβ+/vimentin-/actin-. The stromal /mesenchymal type was ERα-/PR-/Her-2-/vimentin+/-/actin+/- with low ERβ expression. CK5/6 stain was seen only in MB 468. ERα and ERβ were co-expressed mostly in the luminal types. ERα negative and triple negative BCC showed low ERβ expression. In breast cancer tissues, ERβ was expressed in 55.4% (124/224) in all, and in 25 % (28/112) of ERα negative and 49% (29/61) of triple negative breast cancer tissues.
Conclusions: BCC lines with different pheno- and geno-types may reflect reasonably acceptable models to evaluate breast cancer cells in vivo. ERβ expression in BCC and breast cancer tissues were comparable. More specifically, BT-549, Hs578T, MDA-MB-231 can represent the mesenchymal type, 'epithelial–mesenchymal transition' type and MB 468 the basal-like type. Study are in progress to test RNA expression of ERβ isoforms with different agonist and antagonists to explore the targeted therapeutic potential of ERβ in ERα negative and Triple negative breast cancers.

SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) - With the Horseshoe Two Fire 100 percent contained, the focus now is bringing the area back to where it was.
A fire information officer says crews are patrolling burn areas and looking for any remaining hot spots, while rehabilitating fire lines and other fire suppression areas.
Rehabilitation efforts include removing cut trees and other fuels from the areas left over after the creation of fire lines.
Crews have been clearing trees the past few days in anticipation of those areas reopening.
Resources on the fire have been winding down since the third week of June. There are currently 255 personnel assigned to the fire, while at its most active there were 1,400.

This Week's Suspended Animation - Essential Man-Thing Volume 1
Essential Man-Thing Volume 1, published by Marvel Publishing, Inc., 544 pages, $16.99.
Chalk up another reason to favor the Marvel Essentials line: Man-Thing. Never a big fan of Marvel's denizen of the swamps in my 30+ years as a comics reader, I've formed the opinion that it's because I never read more than an appearance here or there. Having 32 consecutive stories in a row, beginning with Man-Thing's origin, changes the landscape, a bit. Now, after all these years, I tip my hat to the creators of such compelling fare.
Steve Gerber (creator of Howard the Duck) is the primary writer of these tales, with Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway and Tony Isabella lending a hand. While not necessarily breaking any new ground in the field, the writers did present some interesting situational dramas, wonderfully morose settings, and even a few tales with an almost classic "B" movie atmosphere. Often, the muck-monster was little more than a bystander, as the theater of other people's lives unfolded before him and the reader, alike. This produced a vibe not unlike many past E.C. horror yarns; the stories were quite engaging. I'll also add my opinion that, from a story-telling perspective, when the Man-Thing DOES play a significant role in a story, he becomes one of the best "unlikely heroes" in comics.
Additionally, a fan could hardly ask for more accomplished art work to adorn these pages. With a roll call boasting the likes of John Buscema, Mike Ploog, Gray Morrow, Neal Adams, Val Mayerik (co-creator of Howard the Duck) and more, there is precious little not to admire about this 500+ page tome. The pages fairly spring to life with a sense of realism (and sometimes SURrealism) that only serves to heighten the intensity and sense of macabre.
Essential Man-Thing Volume 1 is recommended for older readers, due to some horrific content. Find it at comics shops, bookstores, and online retailers and auctions.

"I've made this recipe with chicken as well as lamb. The first time was with chicken using orange which was great. I recently made it again with lamb and lemon because I had no oranges. It was so tart I had to start adding anything I could find to tone down sour taste. This recipe is equally good with chicken or lamb and my family loves it so big""

The framed wedding certificate that had hungover the bed of Gail Pappalardi and herslain rockstar husband, Felix, was found ripped to pieces in their posh East Side apartment, it was revealed yesterday.
The pieces were discovered lying on a desk, where the .38 caliber handgun with which Pappalardi was killed also was found.
Felix Pappalardi's 40-year old songwriter wife is accused of murdering her husband, a '60's rock golden boy, in a jealous rage.
The prosecution claims the torn certificate supports that contention. Gail Pappalardi insists she shot her husband by accident.
On the second day of her testimony here, Mrs. Pappalardi swore that the destruction of the wedding certificate was another accident - and that it had been ripped by Felix himself.
She said Pappalardi tore it when he was clearing a desk of old papers. The certificate had been taken out of it's temporary frame so it could be reframed, she told the court.
"He had a habit of tearing up papers he was about to throw away," she said.
Earlier, there was a dramatic moment when Mrs. Pappalardi refused to touch the tiny silver Derringer with which she shot her husband, the former leader and bass guitarist of the rock group Mountain.
Miss Barden, the prosecutor, had a court officer place the gun in front of her.
Mrs. Pappalardi stared at the gun and, recoiling, sobbed "I can't touch that gun, I cant, I can't touch that."
She put her head in her hands and began to weep and a 15 minute recess - one of several breaks in her testimony - was called for her to compose herself.
She again went thru the fatal moments when she shot her husband. She has said she was afraid of guns and complained to her husband about having them lying around.
The rock performer insisted she handle the weapon to conquer her fear. During the dawn lesson, the gun went off.
"Time stood still," she told the Manhattan Supreme Court jury.
"I realized Felix had been hit. I could not remember my own name at that point."
The trial has centered on whether Mrs. Pappalardi was jealous of her husband's extra-marital sexual partners. Mrs. Pappalardi has claimed several times that each was tolerant of the other's sex-ploits outside marraige.
"He sometimes minded me seeing other people. I sometimes minded him seeing other people. Life is not always perfect," she said.
Of one relationship, with a woman referred to only as Patti, Mrs.appalardi said: "I was the one who urged him to see her because she had a calming effect on him."
Miss Barden asked her: "Did their affair hurt you?"
She answered: "Not at all. We were very close friends."
"Were you sexually involved with anyone else in 1983?" the prosefcutor asked. Said Mrs. Pappalardi: "I'm sure I was, but I don't remember."
The defense rested it's case yesterday. The prosecution will call rebuttal witnesses Monday and the case is expected to go to the jury next week.
Rock Star and Wife
"Had Open Marraige"
By Mike Pearl
New York Post, Sept. 15, 1983
Rock star Felix Pappalardi and his wife had "an open, casual sort of relationship" a close friend of the couple testified today. "From time to time they each had sex with other people, but it was no big deal. They even made jokes about it," claimed James Mosher, an entertainment lawyer who said he and the couple had been friends since 1976.
Mrs. Pappalardi is accused of murdering her husband, a Sixties rock star, in a jealous rage over his sexploits with other women.
The defense attorneys claim the shooting was accidental, and that there was no jealousy between the couple, despite infidelities.
Later today Mrs. Pappalardi is expected to tell her own version of the couple's sex life - and of the shooting that led to her husband's death. Defense witness Mosher told the jury that 2 weeks before he was killed April 17, Pappalardi told him he broke off his relationshipwith his mistress, Valerie Merians. Pappalardi had spent the night of his death with her.
Asked by defense lawyer Neil Comer what Pappalardi had thought of Miss Merians, Mosher replied: "He thought she was a flake."
He admitted that occasionally the couple's relationship was stormy and that husband and wife shouted at each other, but Mosher insisted that much of it was "kidding around."
He said the couple had "pseudo, macho, pseudo violent forms of address to each other." Mosher offered as an example: "If you don't do this, I'll put your lights out." But he added: "They would say it jokingly like the Cramdens on 'The Honeymooners' where Ralph would tell his wife 'I'm gonna send you to the moon.' "
Mosher said Felix was an expert with guns.
"But Gail didn't like them at all. She was extremely unhappy that he kept guns in the apartment," he testified.
Yesterday, a John Travolta look-alike who had a sex tryst with Mrs. Pappalardi claimed that she and Pappalardi had three-way sex with another woman.
Frank DeLuca, 34, a darkly handsome actor who resembles Travolta, testified that the couple had a sexually open marraige and that three-way trysts took place at their East Side apartment, in a midtown hotel and on Nantucket Island. He said he spent a night with Gail and that Pappalardi knew of the event and expressed no jealousy.
He stunned the courtroom by saying that a woman named Norma Maye and the Pappalardis slept three in a bed in a Nantucket holiday homewhile he - DeLuca - slept downstairs.
"Did you ever see the three of them in bed together?" asked defense lawyer Comer.
"Yes," DeLuca replied shyly.

Deja Vu for 14-year-old Tennis Prodigy at US Open National Playoffs-Florida?
April 18, 2010 07:00 PM
Deja Kitchiner
by Rick Vach, ustaflorida.com
Floridians Jennifer Capriati and Mary Joe Fernandez did it when they were 13 years old. Gabriela Sabatini did it at age 14, and Boca Raton's Madison Keys did it last year in Ponte Vedra Beach at age 14.
Now 14-year-old Deja Kitchiner, well aware when the young prodigies of women's tennis first made their mark, is ready to win her first pro-level match on the women's tour after turning 14 last month. The Citrus Springs (west of Orlando) resident will first test her game May 29-June 4, 2010, at the US Open National Playoffs Qualifying-Florida at the IMG Bollettieri Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
Since relocating to Florida from Northern California at age 9 for more competition, Kitchiner has targeted her 14th year to make the jump to the pros -- a step she has been training for by playing girls' 18-level tournaments almost exclusively.
"I've been looking to start playing pro tournaments for awhile, and we thought this would be a good tournament to start with," says Kitchiner of the US Open National Playoffs Qualifying-Florida. "I basically want to see what level I'm at and how far I can get, I want to see if I'd have a chance to win the tournament."
Kitchiner and her father/coach, Damon, use social media outlets such as YouTube and Facebook to spread the word of her potential and give a glimpse of a hard-hitting style reminiscent of a much older player. Click below to see the video (with more than 100,000 views so far) of Kitchiner working out with her father and talking about the US Open National Playoffs Qualifying-Florida:
"I like having people know about me and stuff because it makes me feel good," Kitchiner says. "My dad records me a couple times a year and he puts the videos up and people watch them, I like it."
She also likes the development of her unique backhand, originally patterned after a player whose career was long over before she was born -- former world No. 1 Bjorn Borg.
"That used to be one of my favorite guy players, I used to watch and model my backhand after that when I was doing the in-between backhand," says the 14-year-old. "I started out where I would hold [the backhand] with two hands and let go with one, but I was taking too much time on the swing, so we had to cut it down to a full one-handed swing, about a year and a half ago. But it used to be in the middle of both."
Besides old Borg footage, Kitchiner has adapted other strokes from some of the game's greats.
"My game, I kind of take a little bit from all the top players I see," Kitchiner says. "Like I do my slice based on Steffi Graf most of the time, and I'm kind of practicing my serve right now after Serena [Williams] -- I kind of take what I can from all the top players and see if I can work with it."
She has taken some lumps playing up in the 18s division, but says it is just a matter of time before she stands atop the National Girls' 18s rankings and begins to make inroads into the pro game in her mid-to-early teens.
"My father wanted me to keep developing, so the decision was made that I would play predominantly in the 18-year-old divisions," Kitchiner says. "I went from winning most of the time, to winning half of the time. When I would lose we analyzed how my opponents defeated me. From that point we worked to fix the flaw. At age 13 I made a breakthrough and won my last two smaller 18-year-old events. In typical fashion, and to keep me developing, my father has decided that I will now play the 18-year-old national events. There's just one thing; I don't expect it will take me long to figure out this level."
Her Google profile describes her "blazing speed, explosive power, and soft hands," and goes on to say, "Deja's game is completely unique as she can serve and volley, slice, chip, loop, or boom a powerful ground stroke at anytime. Deja's game does not resemble many up-and-coming players that you will see today, but let me assure you that she has every bit the consistency, talent, and athleticism. Deja was raised to be a very confident young lady, and she has huge dreams."
Kitchner says she has received offers from agents, academies, and from coaches around the world, but has decided to "do it her way."
Follow Kitchiner and her success at the US Open National Playoffs Qualifying-Florida, or in her own words, "Will Deja be able to find her way playing from instincts, when most girls are paying thousand of dollars per year for training? Stay tuned to find out."
