The first Disco Veggie in Japan collaborated with MOTTAINAI Campaign
Slow Food Youth Network Tokyo launched the first Disco Veggie in Japan on Monday, July 21, 2014 at Koenji (Koenji Station, North Exit), from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. More than 130 kilograms of food that would have otherwise been wasted were rescued, prepared and shared among about 300 participants.
Over 40 volunteers and members of the public came together to wash,peel, chop and cook fresh but unwanted fruit and vegetables that would otherwise have beendiscarded: blemished broccoli, supersized zucchini, excess onions, peppers, celery, cucumbers,mushrooms and other top quality produce coming from local farmers. The meal was prepared and distributed for free at the sound of music provided by DJs, encouraging a dance celebration while the community worked to organize tasting activities and groceries giveaways.
The event partners and supporters included UnitedShotengai Association of Koenji, Suginami Ward,Second Harvest Japan, JA Nagano Yatsugatake, JA Nakano-shi, JA Shinshu Suwa, JA Sakuasama,No-FoodLoss Project by the Ministry of Agriculture,Forestry and Fisheries, Slow Food Suginami Tokyo and MOTTAINAI Campaign Office.
Disco Veggie is part of the Disco Soup international grassroots movement that raises awareness on food waste and works to "fill bellies not bins". The goal of the event is to illustrate the unimaginable quantity of food that goes to waste every day and empower the public to recognize positive solutions to the global issue. The anti-food waste phenomenon started in Germany, followed by a mass scale Disco Soup staged in Paris in October 2012. Events have since been held internationally in Holland, Belgium, Canada, Colombia and South Korea, serving thousands of meals to the sound of disco music.
Slow Food Youth Network Tokyo is the youth group of Slow Food Japan, the Japanese chapterof Slow Food, a non-profit, member--‐supported organization founded in 1989 to counteract the culture of fast food. Slow Food Youth Network Tokyo seeks to connect to the other SFYN groups globally and help moving the local culture away from the destructive effects of an industrial food system and towards the cultural, social and economic benefits of a sustainable food system.
Disco Veggie was the very first Japanese event of its kind, but it is not intended to be the last and o ther international initiatives are willing to collaborate. Feeding the 5000, a campaign aiming to empower and inspire the global community to enact positive solutions to food waste, and SAVE FOOD, FAO's Global Initiative on food loss and waste reduction, will in fact work towards the same objective as the Slow Food Youth Network Tokyo in Japan.

Don't know about you but interest in eating anything substantial greatly lessens in such heat. As does, to be frank, the urge to write! So just a light salad for me thanks; just don't skimp on the rosé.
This duo are I think a touch expensive. You can buy them from Ocado and Corney & Barrow (no connection). But you might just be in the market for a stylishly packaged, light, Provencal rosé.
The Secret de Leoube Rosé, 2011 [Adegga / Snooth] is the wine with the white typography running around the bottle; this is the lighter of the two and, apart from something such as garlic prawns or the most simple of salads, would be the better one to serve on its own. It's a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, best described as delicate. (Corney and Barrow list it at £21).
The Rosé de Leoube, 2011 [Adegga / Snooth] is more substantial and more suitable for food matching; but still remains a nice drink to sip alone. Here Grenache, Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvignon are combined to give a gentle spicy edge to the palate. This vintage, 2011, is the estates first fully organic vintage. (Corney and Barrow list this at £14.25 bottle).
I love this bottle, love it. I have not yet found a perfect Rose (that does not hurt my head). Somehow they dont agree with me, but this Leoube is a beauty, thanks!
Dear Claudia,
Indeed amazing picture.
I hope you can enjoy our rosé. I agree with you rosé can give you a headache very quickly.
I hope you can treat yourself with Léoube.
This is a fine wine made with passion, love and care.
I am very confident you will not suffer from headache with Léoube.
Please visit our website and come back to me if I was wrong.
Warm Regards
Chateau Leoube
Nice shots – and I love your description of the "beige people"!!

If you use your iPad all the time to watch movies, listen to music and play games, the battery is not going to last very long. One way to make you battery last longer is to adjust your screen's brightness. You will probably find that you do not need to use the brightest possible setting to enjoy your iPad. The iPad is revolutionary and very user-friendly. You will notice that the iPad only comes with one button. Explore your iPad on your own before you start looking up too many tips about it. It will amaze you how easy it is to use.
If you are almost always connected to the internet in one way or another, then don't overlook the cloud function of the iPad. You can store extra information this way without it using up space in the iPad's flash memory. It is important that you back up your most important documents by storing them on both your iPad device and cloud.
If you have an Apple TV, it is possible to stream content from the iPad to the television. There is an Airplay icon that will allow content to immediately appear on your Apple TV.

He's got a great temperament loves everyone he meets has lots of energy he's very much a puppy. He is much cuter in person. Owners where moving into a place that didn't allow pets. Updated on all his shots, microchippped and neutered.
Other Pets at Adopt Me Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Brody, a Studio City Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Maltese puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Maltese for sale in Studio City, or seeking a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Maltese puppy from a breeder in Studio City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Studio City 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 Studio City 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 Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Maltese breeders who help with Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier/Maltese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Studio City paves the way for another one to be saved.

Shooting Erupts in Hama Before Arab Visit
December 29, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Mariam Karouny
BEIRUT (Reuters) – At least seven people were wounded on Wednesday in the Syrian city of Hama when security forces used live ammunition and tear gas to disperse a protest against President Bashar al-Assad, just a day before a visit by Arab peace monitors, a rights group said.
Live pictures on al Jazeera television showed gunfire and black smoke rising above a street in Hama as dozens of protesters chanted: "Where are the Arab monitors?"
Arab League monitors checking if Syria is ending its violent crackdown on popular unrest are due to visit Hama on Thursday. In its footage, al Jazeera showed one man bleeding from the neck as others shouted in the background.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the protesters were heading towards Orontes square in the city centre for a sit-in at the symbolic location where demonstrations were crushed earlier this year.
Security forces were not visible in the Jazeera footage. Unarmed protesters, some masked, were heard shouting "Assad forces are shooting us." The protesters then began chanting: "Freedom for ever" and "We will have our revenge on you Bashar."
Reuters could not verify the details as Syria has banned most foreign media from the country.
Hama, 240 km (150 miles) north of Damascus, has particular resonance for Syrians. The city was the site of the biggest massacre in the country's modern history.
Troops overran Hama in 1982 to put down the armed wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, which made its last stand there. Up to 30,000 people were killed, many of them killed in an army bombardment or executed in the streets by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad's' father, the late Hafez al-Assad. Parts of its old city were razed to the ground.
Twenty-nine years later Hama demonstrators demanding the overthrow of Bashar still revile the memory of his father, who died in 2000 after ruling Syria for three decades.
In the Jazeera footage, the protesters began cursing Hafez's soul immediately after the gunfire was heard, before rushing to hide in alleyways.
A few looked out to shout a defiant freedom call before disappearing into hiding again. The shooting intensified, then one man shouted out that snipers were now operating in the area. Dozens of men squeezed themselves in an alley, chanting anti-Assad slogans.
"There is no turning back from the revolution," they shouted.
Hama was among the hardest hit cities in an escalation of military attacks against urban centers where anti-Assad protests had been held.
In August, tanks attacked Hama for ten days, provoking Arab and Western outrage, after weeks of protests that drew hundreds of thousands of people to Orontes Square. Authorities said the operation was necessary to cleanse the city of "terrorists" according to the wishes of Hama inhabitants.
On Wednesday, part of an Arab League team went to a flashpoint area in the city of Homs but some of their planned tour was blocked when gunfire erupted, activists said.
Residents of Homs's Baba Amr neighborhood initially refused to cooperate when the monitors arrived with an army escort and the team withdrew. But activists said a smaller group of monitors returned without the officer and were escorted by residents and activists on a tour of the turbulent district.
But the monitors could not enter an area where residents said they believed detainees were being hidden because gunfire erupted. It was not clear where the shooting came from.
"Residents were accompanying the team to the area to show them where they believe detainees are being held when suddenly there was gunfire near the checkpoint," said Rami Abdelrahman, of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Activists: 111 Killed in Syria's "Bloodiest Day"
December 22, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Dominic Evans
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syrian forces killed 111 people ahead of the start of a mission to monitor President Bashar al-Assad's implementation of an Arab League peace plan, activists said on Wednesday, and France branded the killings an "unprecedented massacre."
Rami Abdulrahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 111 civilians and activists were killed on Tuesday when Assad's forces surrounded them in the foothills of the northern Jabal al-Zawiyah region in Idlib province and unleashed two hours of bombardment and heavy gunfire.
Another 100 army deserters were either wounded or killed, making it the "bloodiest day of the Syrian revolution," he said.
"There was a massacre of unprecedented scale in Syria on Tuesday," said French foreign ministry spokesman Bernard Valero. "It is urgent that the U.N. Security Council issues a firm resolution that calls for an end to the repression."
The United States said it was deeply disturbed by reports of indiscriminate killing and warned Assad the violence must stop. Britain said it was shocked by the reports and urged Syria to "end immediately its brutal violence against civilians."
Events in Syria are hard to verify because authorities, who say they are battling terrorists who have killed more than 1,100 soldiers and police, have banned most independent reporting.
Tuesday's bloodshed brought the death toll reported by activists in the last 48 hours to over 200.
The main opposition Syrian National Council said "gruesome murders" were carried out, including the beheading of a local imam, and demanded international action to protect civilians.
The escalating death toll in nine months of popular unrest has raised the specter of civil war in Syria with Assad, 46, still trying to stamp out protests with troops and tanks despite international sanctions imposed to push him onto a reform path.
Idlib, a northwestern province bordering Turkey, has been a hotbed of protest during the revolt, inspired by uprisings across the Arab world this year, and has also seen increasing attacks by armed insurgents against his forces.
The Observatory said rebels had damaged or destroyed 17 military vehicles in Idlib since Sunday while in the southern province of Deraa violence continued on Wednesday.
Tanks entered the town of Dael, the British-based group said, leading to clashes in which 15 security force members were killed. Six army defectors and a civilian also died and dozens of civilians were wounded, it said.
The Syrian National Council said 250 people had been killed on Monday and Tuesday in "bloody massacres," and that the Arab League and United Nations must protect civilians.
It demanded "an emergency U.N. Security Council session to discuss the (Assad) regime's massacres in Jabal al-Zawiyah, Idlib and Homs, in particular" and called for "safe zones" to be set up under international protection.
It also said those regions should be declared disaster areas and urged the International Red Crescent and other relief organizations to provide humanitarian aid.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said unless Damascus complied fully with the Arab League plan to end the violence, "additional steps" would be taken against it. Washington and the European Union have already imposed sanctions on Syria.
"Bashar al-Assad should have no doubt that the world is watching, and neither the international community no the Syria people accept his legitimacy," he said.
Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby said on Tuesday that an advance observer team would go to Syria on Thursday to prepare the way for 150 monitors due to arrive by end-December.
Syria stalled for weeks before signing a protocol on Monday to admit the monitors, who will check its compliance with the plan mandating an end to violence, withdrawal of troops from the streets, release of prisoners and dialogue with the opposition.
Syrian officials say over 1,000 prisoners have been freed since the plan was agreed six weeks ago and that the army has pulled out of cities. The government promised a parliamentary election early next year as well as constitutional reform which might loosen the ruling Baath Party's grip on power.
Syrian pro-democracy activists are deeply skeptical about Assad's commitment to the plan, which, if implemented, could embolden demonstrators demanding an end to his 11-year rule, which followed three decades of domination by his father.
Assad is from Syria's minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam, and Alawites hold many senior posts in the army which he has deployed to crush the mainly Sunni Muslim protests.
In recent months, peaceful protests have increasingly given way to armed confrontations, often led by army deserters.
In a show of military power, state television broadcast footage of live-fire exercises held by the navy and air force, which it said aimed at deterring any attack on Syria.
The United Nations has said more than 5,000 people have been killed in Syria since anti-Assad protests broke out in March.
Arab, U.S. and European sanctions combined with the unrest have sent the economy into sharp decline. The Syrian pound fell nearly 2 percent on Tuesday to more than 55 pounds per dollar, 17 percent down from the official rate before the unrest.
Arab rulers are keen to prevent a descent into civil war in Syria that could affect a region already riven by rivalry between non-Arab Shi'ite Muslim power Iran and Sunni Muslim Arab heavyweights such as Saudi Arabia.

Syria Calls for Arab League Emergency Meeting
November 17, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Martin Chulov in Beirut
Syria has called for an emergency meeting of the Arab League after the regional body announced it will suspend Damascus from its membership ranks on Wednesday and impose sanctions – a move that has sharply escalated tensions across the region.
The regime of President Bashar al-Assad wants the urgent meeting held before the suspension is due to take effect. Syrian officials made the demand after a night of apparently sponsored violence against the diplomatic missions of states that had voted to punish it because of a crackdown against demonstrators in defiance of an earlier understanding.
On Saturday night, protesters stormed the Saudi Arabian and Turkish embassies in Damascus and the Qatari mission in nearby Beirut, prompting Turkey and Saudi Arabia to withdraw non-essential diplomats and their families.
Turkey has also demanded compensation for damage to its embassy and warned its citizens against travelling across its southern border.
Last month, the US also withdrew its ambassador after the US embassy was twice stormed by a crowd.
The British Foreign Office minister, Alistair Burt, condemned the latest embassy attacks on Sunday. "By allowing these attacks to take place, the Syrian regime is demonstrating yet again that its first response is repression and intimidation," he said. "This cycle of violence must stop now for the sake of the Syrian people and for those who support them."
Turkey called on the international community to stop the bloodshed in Syria, a demand that appeared to leave open the possibility of some kind of intervention.
An unnamed Syrian official told the state news agency Sana on Sunday that Arab League monitors could travel to the country to assess the situation before the suspension is due to take effect on 16 November.
Such a concession had been a key demand of the body, which two weeks ago thought it had struck a broad deal with Damascus to end the violence.
However, clashes have intensified since then, with daily death tolls often of more than 20 people, meaning November – the eighth month of the Syrian uprising – is likely to be its bloodiest yet.
A large pro-regime rally saw thousands turn out in central Damascus on Sunday in what was cast as a spontaneous mass display of backing for Assad, whose support base remains stronger in the capital and in the commercial hub of Aleppo than in the third and fourth cities, Hama and Homs. Daily clashes there between troops and protesters underline a deepening divide with ever-sharpening sectarian dimensions.
Syria is ruled by the Assad clan, hailing from the Allawite sect, which has close ties to Shia Islam. The Allawites account for around 12% of all Syrians, but are deeply entwined into the establishment.
Other minorities include Christians, Druze and Kurds. However, the bulk of Syrians are Sunni Muslims, whom the regime fears have drawn strength from successful revolts in the Sunni states of Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.
The effect of Syria's suspension is not yet clear, and neither are the type of sanctions that the Arab League may impose. The organisation's secretary general, Nabil al-Arabi, said on Sunday that he is "studying mechanisms" to protect Syrian people.
He left open the possibility of again referring Syria to the UN security council, where Syrian allies Russia and China last month blocked a move that had threatened to bring security council sanctions.
Arabi said the league did not have the means to act alone.
Despite its relative lack of clout, the Arab League move is significant on the global stage, where European and US policymakers had been struggling to craft a means of stopping the violence in Syria without causing a collapse in regional stability.
Without the cover from the Arab League that the US received in March, Barack Obama would have been much less likely to authorise the use of the US military in the early stages of the Libyan operation – an essential element of the ultimately succesful Nato operation.
The move against Syria – only the second of its kind in the history of the 22-state organisation – is likely to embolden states opposed to the regime but fearful of the knock-on effects of the fall of Assad.
Isolation is not sitting well with Assad or Syria's key patron, Iran.
Both states have warned of "dire consequences" if more pressure is piled on the regime, and insisted that the relentless protests are foreign-backed and being led by militant Sunni Islamists.
Dr. Abdul Razzaque Ahmed Receives Lifetime Achievement Award From the Pan Arab League of Dermatologists
May 19, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Press Release
Dubai, UAE–On 19th of April 2011, the Pan Arab League of Dermatologists honoured Dr. Abdul Razzaque Ahmed of Boston, Massachusetts with a "Lifetime Achievement Award". The Award was given at a joint meeting of the Pan Arab League of Dermatologists and Dubai Derm 2011 held at the International Convention Center in Dubai. The patron of the Meeting was HRH Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who presided over the session. In announcing the Award, Dr. Omar Al Sheikh of Riyadh, KSA, Secretary General, stated;
"In recognition of his 35 years of dedication and commitment to treating patients with severe autoimmune blistering diseases and for the discovery of new and novel therapies to treatment them. In addition, in recognition of his numerous landmark and milestone contributions enhancing the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of their pathogenesis, the Pan Arab League of Dermatologists present this Lifetime Achievement Award to Dr. Abdul Razzaque Ahmed."
The Pan Arab League of Dermatologists has been in existence since 1979. It consists of 23 Arab countries which have a cumulative population of over 8700 dermatologist that constitute the League. It meets every three years in a different Arab country. This is the first time in is 33 years of existence that it has bestowed such an Award.
The objectives of the League are:
• To hold conferences and educate its members with knowledge of the latest advances and discoveries in the science and practice of medical and surgical dermatology.
• To promote the specialty, scientifically and professionally the League provides an avenue to advance collaboration between individual members and member countries.
• To foster the development of infrastructure in the academic institutions within member countries by aiding in the formulation of curricula, faculty recruitment and exchange, and sharing resources to create a learning environment that is challenging for young physicians to become competent dermatologists.
• To strongly support the translation of manuscripts, books, and other written educational resources into Arabic to advance scientific research and the utilization of information technology.
• To ultimately be the voice of dermatology in the Arab world by uniting Arab dermatologists under one umbrella.
Dr. Ahmed is originally from a small town called Wani in the District Yavatmal in Maharashtra in Central India. He studied medicine at the internationally-renowned All-India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi. Shortly thereafter he went to the United States where he trained in Internal Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, in Dermatology at the University of Buffalo, and in Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the University of California at Los Angeles. Dr. Ahmed was on the Faculty of Medicine at UCLA for six years before moving to Harvard University in Boston. He began molecular research and earned a Doctorate of Science degree from the Harvard University Faculty of Medicine, and a Master's degree in Public Administration (MPA) from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Thereafter, Dr. Ahmed continued his laboratory research for 20 years on the campus of the Harvard Medical School with funding provided by the National Institute of Health. He also opened the first "Center for Blistering Diseases" in the U.S. The Center provides an all-inclusive, holistic approach to treating every aspect of a patient's life. Dr. Ahmed established a model for the treatment of these autoimmune, potentially fatal diseases. This model has been emulated in other cities with significant success.
Dr. Ahmed is one among a handful of blistering disease specialists in the world. He has published original scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals, chapters in various books, and edited five monographs. He has lectured in the U.S. and worldwide throughout Asia, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East. Blistering diseases patients come to him from all over the U.S. and several countries overseas. He is unique because he is an excellent clinician, an imaginative and creative scientist, and an effective teacher with an infectious enthusiasm and the ability to make young physicians become interested and excited in what they study and learn. He has received several prestigious awards in the U.S. and many other countries. It is important to note that he also received two Citations for his research and its global impact; one from The Commonwealth of Massachusetts House of Representatives, and the other from the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Argeo Paul Cellucci.
Dr. Ahmed treats patients with autoimmune, potentially fatal blistering diseases that affect the skin, mouth, throat, nose, eyes, voice box, swallowing tub, genitalia, and rectum. The blisters break easily, leaving raw and open sores that are open to infection. These sores stick to the clothes and bedsheets. Patients are sick, toxic, and have difficulty coping with their daily lives, often afraid to be seen by society in general. These diseases are rare. For example, pemphigus occurs in one patient in a 250,000 population; cicatricial pemphigoid with a potential for causing blindness occurs in one in 1 million population, and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita occurs in one in 3 million people. Most physicians do not know how to handle these patients and refer them to Dr. Ahmed for medical management. His patients see him as a savior and "God sent". His treatments have saved numerous lives and prevented blindness in numerous others.
When receiving the Pan Arab Lifetime Achievement Award, Dr. Ahmed thanked the patients who gave him their trust and the opportunity to make the discoveries he has made over the years. He thanked his teachers, mentors, colleagues, and many students, for their dedication and assistance. He focused on his research towards the discovery of the genes that predispose individuals to these diseases and their value and importance to all future research in this field. He spoke about his discovery of two molecules involved in the process that allows these diseases to happen (target antigens). He ended by discussing the discovery of two treatments (intravenous immunoglobulin and Rituximab) that can save patient lives and give them not only hope but offer the patients an opportunity to live normal lives.
While many investigators are chasing "cures" for common diseases like cancer, heart attacks, and stroke, or wanting to find ways to lose weight, grow hair, and eliminate wrinkles, Dr. Ahmed has silent but perseveringly and relentlessly worked on these "orphan diseases" so that those unfortunate patients on the sidelines of the medical world may have hope and a chance to survive. The Pan Arab League of Dermatologists has done the world, and especially the patients with pemphigus and pemphigoid, a great service by recognizing a physician truly worthy of such recognition.

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone can help me identify the cause of / correct an issue I have where the underside of the leaves on my cayenne pepper plant has a lot of small (pin point size) white spots / bumps. The plant is growing in a pot indoors. I also have some habanero peppers grow next to the cayenne plant and they seem to be getting some similar spots, but not quite as bad yet. Any ideas? Thanks. |

for what its worth.. it looks like aphids ... hard to tell at that magnification ... google such.. and see if you can confirm or deny ken |
Let's have some more details....if they are aphids, they will be very squishable. Are they? Does it brush away with your fingers? What's it taste like? (just kidding on that one) If this was a picture of impatiens, I'd say that we were looking at an early case of Downy Mildew. I don't how that disease presents itself on pepper. |
Thanks for the input so far. It doesn't move and doesn't brush off. If plants got goose bumps or rashes that would be how I'd describe it. That's how it feels and looks. Another way to describe it would be like if someone ran a perforation tool over the leaves. Thanks for any other advice. |
I urge you to contact your extension office for help on this. Do you know where your county office is? I'd suggest that you call the office and ask if you can email your images directly to the university diagnostic clinic. With Extension budgets slashed over the years, you never know who might be on call to answer questions. I suspect that these are calcium oxalate crystals, reported in literature for peppers. |

(Thurs., March 11, 2010)—A portion of the City's new street lighting system on Lunalilo Home Road in Hawaii Kai will be energized for the first time this evening, from Kalanianaole Highway to the mauka Kaumakani Street intersection.
Both the new and old street lighting systems will be activated simultaneously for testing and inspection overnight. As soon as it is determined that the new street lights are operating properly, the old lighting system on this section of roadway will be deactivated and removed.
The City's contractor replaced old 150-watt street light fixtures with 100-watt fixtures featuring flat lenses, as reported at a community meeting last year. This change is expected to save $63 in operating costs per light each year, and will improve visibility and safety in a mixed-use area that includes Kaiser High School, a fire station, churches, a library and the Koko Marina shopping center.
New street lights installed on a second section of Lunalilo Home Road, from the second Kaumakani Street intersection to Wailua Street, will be activated later this year, after final electrical work is completed.
The Department of Design and Construction thanks the people of Hawaii Kai for their patience and cooperation in helping complete this public safety project.

Recently in Maxie Esho Category
Happy birthday to men's basketball redshirt freshman Maxie Esho ll!
"I was worried. When I heard, I was excited. It feels really good. I can do everything with the team," said Esho, who'd been working out independently with nonqualifiers Cady Lalanne and Luke Cothron, who both are sitting out this year.
The 6-foot-5 Morgan initially signed with Seton Hall. The Big East does not accept non-qualifiers, so when it appeared Morgan might not make the academic cut, he switched plans and enrolled at UMass.
Read the full story from Ron Chimelis in the Springfield Republican.
Among the items Matt Vautour touches on are the Hall of Fame Tip-Off schedule, MISSION 1000, an update on Daryl Traynham, Maxie Esho and the women's basketball schedule.
The University of Massachusetts men's basketball team has received word that freshman point guard Daryl Traynham has been academically cleared to play in the 2010-11 season.
The 5-foot-9 newcomer's eligibility could help solve a potential depth problem. The UMass roster carries only one other true point guard, senior Gary Correia. UMass is still awaiting word on the eligibility of Maxie Esho, a 6-8 freshman forward. Traynham and Esho are both from Upper Marlboro, Md.
If Esho is not cleared to play in 2010-11, he might still be ruled a partial qualifier by the NCAA Clearinghouse.That would allow Esho to practice with the team, but not play in games.
He would retain his four years of eligibility, whether he is a partial qualifier or a 2010-11 non-qualifier.

Agree with all, life would be a lot emptier. My family sure enjoys those trips, websites, games, TV and videos.
I'd say Disney World has changed our lives. We found the magic in 1977 and 43 trips later it's still as strong as the first trip. Our daughter did the CP in 2001, she moved after graduation to Florida to work for Disney for a year but has returned to her home state and visits WDW like us. There never seems to be a year where we don't have a count-down clock going for a return trip, we just came back 9/27 from our 43 trip and are looking for a spring trip. Disney has meant alot of different things to us over the years, we've gone from the commando days of yore to the longer more relaxing type style of vacations.

Details on Industry Insight.
On Saturday, Forever 21 opened its latest store, a two-level XXI Forever, at South Coast Plaza. The store occupies over 43,000 square feet of space inside the Sears building.
Forever 21 has become a major competitor for the industry, especially the juniors side of the business. Both Roxy and Billabong-owned Beach Works have stores in the same wing of South Coast Plaza that houses the new Forever 21.
As part of the grand opening celebration, the first 500 people in line received free gift cards with values ranging from $10 to $100, as well as one valued at $210. Customers waited in line from as early as 9pm Friday night to receive a free gift card and shop at the new store.

The counterpoint from Whitaker
While the industry is constantly in search of new ideas to enhance the safety of our products, the concept of creating a system led by industry to randomly choose third-party auditors is flawed.
If objectivity is the concern, consider that audits are only one tool in a comprehensive food safety program. It is already standard industry practice to rotate auditors to avoid potential familiarity issues. In some cases, it's the buyer who actually chooses a grower's auditing firm.
The concerns about objectivity also assume that the only goal of the grower paying for the audit is to achieve a passing grade. Nothing could be further from the truth. Audits, like other current safeguards, are one tool among many used to ensure the safety of our fresh produce. Further, audit results are routinely used to improve food safety performance.
TK: Interesting idea about randomly selecting auditors, but I think the constraints of geography alone would be a significant barrier. Whitaker's "nothing could be further from the truth" comment may do little to assure the skeptical public about what is perceived to be a "cozy" relationship between the third party auditor and the firm being audited.

Whether to capture an inspirational quote in a journal, practice penmanship, or develop habits of discipline and observation, copywork is valued as a useful exercise. In the past, you've have had to come up with your own copywork passages to accompany student lessons. But now, WriteShop is pleased to carry Copying and Dictation Exercises for WriteShop I, sixteen carefully-chosen selections that go with related writing lessons. Gathered primarily from works of quality literature, the collection also includes selections from such diverse sources as a Civil War-era newspaper, a turn-of-the-century boys' handbook, and a modern-day cookbook.
WriteShop allows time for copying and dictation in each of its schedules. Short but important, these exercises help students pay close attention to detail. Each passage consists of a two- to five-sentence paragraph that mirrors the type of writing within its corresponding lesson. For example, students copy a vivid description of The Velveteen Rabbit to get ready for describing an object. When their writing lesson turns to journalism, copywork comes from an 1865 article in the New York Times. And when they write a personal narrative, their selection is drawn from Treasure Island.
The book is non-consumable, meaning students within the same family may share one copy, as long as they are working independently of one another. However, if you want them to complete the exercises as a group, they will each need their own.

CNN, Larry King cut ties months after show ended
February 15, 2012 - 9:05 PM
NEW YORK (AP) — CNN and longtime talk show host Larry King are cutting ties 14 months after his prime-time series ended.
King did four specials for CNN within the past year. But CNN said in a statement on Wednesday the network and King have mutually agreed to end the specials.
The 78-year-old King says he has "nothing but respect for CNN." He says he's "looking forward to all the wonderful business opportunities" to which he'll now dedicate his time.
Piers Morgan now has the time slot King held. He does a similar interview program.

Hockey Fights Cancer Night at The Rock
Posted by meowllyson
Tonight at the Prudential Center, as the Devils host the San Jose Sharks, and in several other NHL arenas across the United States, hockey fans worldwide can unite in a fight that goes beyond fists and gloves. I'm sure by now most of us have seen or heard the public service announcements and print flyers featuring several NHL stars urging us to "join the fight" against cancer by supporting the Hockey Fights Cancer initiative.
To promote the month-long initiative, each of the 30 NHL teams has dedicated one night in October as "Hockey Fights Cancer" Awareness Night. Ours is tonight! There will be several things happening tonight at the Prudential Center to benefit Hockey Fights Cancer and to encourage those who have been affected firsthand by the disease. The National Anthem will be sung by Samantha Dango, a cancer survivor's daughter. Young patients and other children affected by the disease from the Devils' and Prudential Center's local hospital partners (the Barnabas Health System, Atlantic Health System, St. Joseph's Healthcare System and Holy Name Medical Center) have been invited to attend tonight, some of whom will be participating in Zamboni rides during intermission.
The Devils will once again hold a Mystery Puck sale to benefit Hockey Fights Cancer. Each signed puck will be gift-bagged so that you don't know whose signature you have received until after you buy it. The pucks will go on sale in the main concourse when the doors open. Be sure and arrive early to reserve your place in line for this fun and worthwhile opportunity.
In addition, collections will be taking place for donations at entrance points throughout The Rock. Hockey Fights Cancer merchandise will be on sale tonight at the Devils Den. Devils' coaching staff and broadcasters will be wearing ties, hats, jackets, and other official apparel. The Hockey Fights Cancer PSAs will be aired throughout the evening, some featuring Devils players. Devils and Prudential Center staff will be wearing Hockey Fights Cancer pins and lavender ribbons to show their support. The Devils homepage and social media pages will all keep with the Hockey Fights Cancer theme. All proceeds from tonight's events will be donated back to the Devils' and Prudential Center's local hospital partners.
Hockey Fights Cancer was founded in December 1998 by the NHL and NHL Players' Association as a way to raise money and awareness in cancer research, prevention, and care. The initiative has raised over $12 million so far. Hockey Fights Cancer is a part of the NHL's "Biggest Assist Happens off the Ice" campaign, which consists of several initiatives designed to address and improve social issues affecting people worldwide.
I'm sure we all know or know of somebody who has been affected by cancer. As we work and progress towards finding a cure for this disease, let's all remember that we are ALL on the same team. Devils Army, let's unite and fight against a common enemy. Tonight will definitely be a memorable, fun, and touching evening. I hope to see some of you there!

Post it on the blog!
I found it myself and just created a new thread on Flyertalk as well!
Dan, your loyal reader and frequent contributor…
My Flyertalk post:
Hey all.
Marriott Vacation Club USA is currently offering 5000 MR points for doing a 30 minute online timeshare presentation. You have to make an appointment.
I talked to a live Marriott Vacation Club agent on the phone today for 30 minutes. It was a soft
sell; she just emailed me more information after our conversation and asked that I contact her if I had any questions or interest.
Although it says that the presentation is online, my entire presentation was on the phone. Maybe that's because she knew I was
already a member of Marriott Vacation Club Asia-Pacific and so she didn't need to show me the properties on the Internet?
Points post 6 to 8 weeks later. Really easy 5000 points here.
Thanks Dan. Frugal Travel Guy of the Day

Hello! Does anyone know if Chamblees added newAustin this year? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes they did! If you check their website they have a few new ones listed. Josh |
- Posted by ArbutusOmnedo (My Page) on Sun, Jan 26, 14 at 2:10
Hey Josh, What would be new that they have listed? I just checked when I saw your post and I can't say I noticed anything that looked unusual for their selection. I recently called them about when they might have Lady Emma Hamilton and other out of stock roses available again and they couldn't really give me a good time frame. Carding Mill HAD been out of stock for quite some time the last time I checked though, so at least that seems to have been updated. Jay |
I can't figure out what's new either, I wished they would add a page for their new roses. |
The new ones are: Carding Mill |
For anyone who likes the look of Carding Mill and lives in a hot-summer climate, I recommend this rose highly. A very prolific bloomer, the blooms don't burn and I never saw a sign of disease. Ingrid |
Darcey Bussell does much better for me with no problems, than Munstead Wood did. I drooled over the pics of Munstead, just had to have one, but it didn't like rain and was a wimpy grower but the flowers were beautiful. |

Note that the Solo G3's chassis is designed to protect your data against extreme conditions just once, meaning that the drive itself will likely stop working once put through fire. At this time, you can peel off layers of protection to retrieve the internal hard drive and then connect it to a computer to recover the data. After that, you'll need to buy another G3 if you want to make sure your data will survive another disaster.
The Solo G3 is preformatted using NTFS and works immediately when plugged into a Windows computer. It also comes with a retail version of Genie Timeline Pro backup software, which worked well in my trials. You can use the Solo G3 with a Mac by reformatting it into HFS+, which takes just a few seconds. You won't be able to enjoy the fast USB 3.0 speed, however, since Macs generally only support USB 2.0.
I tested the Solo G3 with both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, and it was really impressive with USB 3.0, topping the chart in both writing and reading, registering 109MBps and 111MBps, respectively.
When used with USB 2.0, it wasn't as impressive, however, with just 26MBps for writing and 32MBps for reading. Both were below the average on the chart. That said, if you really want to get the best out of the drive, make sure you use it with USB 3.0, which can be easily added to a desktop via an add-in card.
The Solo G3 worked very quietly in my testing, emitting no sound or vibration. You won't feel any heat, either, probably because that is absorbed by its thick layers of protection.

Service and support
As with the Solo Pro, ioSafe backs the Solo G3 with a one-year data warranty that includes the company's Data Recovery Service, which takes care of getting the data back for you should disaster strike. In case the hard drive is so badly damaged by fire or water that an expensive forensic recovery service is required, the warranty will cover up to $2,500 of the cost. Customers can upgrade to a three- or five-year warranty for $50 and $100, respectively.
On top of that, the drive also comes with a three-year warranty against defects.
Other than that, you probably won't need much support for the drive. Nonetheless, the company's toll-free technical phone support can be reached from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST, Monday through Friday. At the company's Web site, you'll find FAQs, downloads, user guides, and other support-related materials.
Good-looking, fast, and quiet, the new Solo G3 makes an excellent backup solution for those who are in need of a device that keeps their data safe should disaster strike.

Located in the new Branson Landing and just steps away from Lake Taneycomo sits the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. In the center of downtown and adjacent to the Branson Convention Center, this full-service luxury hotel features first-class services and modern amenities for your next stay.
Just minutes from area attractions and shows, the hotel is within walking distance to dozens of stores, restaurants, and sights to see.
With breathtaking views of Lake Taneycomo and downtown, the more than 240 guest rooms, condos and suites, can accommodate nearly any type of Branson visitor. With some rooms that feature fully-equipped kitchens, tech amenities like MP3 adapters on the alarm clocks, and 32″ flat-screen TVs, you can experience the ultimate in luxury that the city offers.
For business or pleasure, the Hilton Promenade Hotel at Branson Landing offers the location and convenience that would be the envy of most any luxury hotel. The next time you are staying overnight in Branson, we welcome you to visit our facility and see for yourself what true upscale lodging is like.
This property is pet-friendly (certain rooms). If bringing a pet there is a $50 fee (up to 75 lbs).
Branson's Hilton Promenade Hotel is elegant and luxurious. The rooms are beautiful and the views from balcony rooms were amazing. We found it great that we could take the elevator right down to the center of the Branson Landing. You could stay at the Promenade and feel like you are in your own little town. Food, Activities, and Shopping are all within a stone's throw. The Branson Hilton Promenade only ran about 20-30 dollars more than staying at the Hampton or Comfort Suites. It was money well spent. We will definitely stay there from now on. It was also nice being out of the 76 Strip traffic.
Awesome place!!! This hotel is great for being close to everything in downtown and the landing. Really nice rooms too.

Having a look at the BIOS you can see we've got a typical UEFI design.
The scheme is the blue version which we haven't seen for a while. Most the time we see the black one that is on the higher end boards. As for the options most of them are there, but under the OC Tweaker section, you can see we're missing any BCLK adjustment options.
We'll talk about this more when we cover the overclocking side of things on the next page. Apart from that the rest of the BIOS is fairly standard.

Cox Orlando Chooses Symetrix
Lynnwood, WA - Aug 16, 2001 - With the consolidation of six radio stations into one building and the nation's first installation of a Computer Concepts EpiCenter multi-studio management system, Cox Radio in Orlando origniated its signal chain with two dozen Symetrix 628 Digital Voice Processors and feeds the announcers headphones with eight Symetrix 506E six-channel headphone amplifiers.
After two years of first-hand experience with the 628, Steve Fluker, director of engineering knew that they would provide the ideal front-end for the new studios. The installation included the optional remote program controller (R-1) set up with the announcers' names assigned to their particular program. During a shift change, the announcers select the appropriate program. Each 628 is programmed with the same settings so the presets can be recalled anywhere within the facility.
With six control rooms, seven production rooms, two news booths, and a mix booth all tied together by EpiCenter, Cox Radio Orlando represents the cutting-edge in radio technology.
