Radiohead rocked South Korea over the weekend when they played to an estimated 100,000 people at the Jisan Valley Rock Festival.
Bands and rock fans from around the world headed out in the scorching July heat to the mountains near Icheon, Gyeonggi Province for the biggest Jisan festival so far.
For its fourth year, the festival had bigger bands and more food and drink booths than ever before and most of the hotels, pensions and condos nearby were booked out months in advance.
Radiohead fans who had travelled to the festival were unlikely to have been disappointed as the band played a series of encores and overran their Friday night headline slot by almost an hour, finally finishing at midnight.
They played mostly new songs but thrilled the crowd at the end of their set with OK Computer classic, Paranoid Android.
Before headliners Radiohead - by far the biggest band at the festival - took to the stage Elvis Costello and the Imposters pumped up the crowd and got them dancing.

That last was thrown in almost as an after-thought, but with 802.11n WiFi moving bits at 100 mbps, it's easy to see Mac Minis moving to homes that have standardized on iMacs as the home PC and iPads in every room, all networking wirelessly so content is shared and there's plenty of room for home automation applications down the road. (A complete iHouse with a desktop, server and 4 iMacs would thus set a family of four back about $4,000.)
Tim Cook bored some of the media watching at home with his statistics, but these are where investors should be salivating.
The 100 millionth iPad was sold two weeks ago, and iPads represent 91% of tablet traffic. Customers have downloaded 35 billion apps on the Apple AppStore, where there are now 700,000 to choose from, 275,000 of them written especially for the iPad line. In just one month the new iOS6 operating system was downloaded 200 million times.
Cook was emphasizing Apple's huge lead within its niche, while Schiller was showing that the engineering revolution begun by Steve Jobs is continuing, perhaps at an even faster pace. It's not revolution, it's evolution -- but it's evolution on steroids.
Investor reaction to the announcements, on a down day for the street as a whole, was profoundly negative, with the stock dropping 2.35% by 2:30 PM on a day when the Nasdaq was down less than 1%. The computers aren't the only things on sale. I'd call Apple a bargain here as well. At the time of publication, the author was long AAPL, 10 big shares.

Some partnerships—Fred and Ginger, Holmes and Watson, Rocky and Bullwinkle—seem predestined for greatness. Such was the case with Jeff and Jill Van Horne. Jeff, a wine collector, married his talents with Jill's gourmet cooking to create The Wine Loft, where their chemistry translates into delicious food and drink pairings. Stepping inside is akin to joining one of their dinner parties, with fellow guests lounging on sofas throughout the space and ordering cocktails or beer from the full bar.
Of course, the starring libation is wine. The cellar below the restaurant can store close to 2,000 bottles at a steady 58 degrees. More than 200 wines arrive at tables by the bottle, and 75 can be poured by the glass, complementing a variety of small plates and entrees. If you aren't sure what libation would best bring out the flavor of your lamb lollipops, servers gladly assist—or, you could attend one of The Wine Loft's wine education classes. These meet monthly to cover topics such as matching wine with chocolate or observing proper wine etiquette, which dictates that whomever uncorks the bottle must plant the cork and raise the resultant tree.
Permeated with casual elegance, The Wine Gallery festoons its eclectic menu with classic bistro fare in the form of flavorful salads, soups, sandwiches, and specialties. Let the nibbling commence with starters of chips, dips, spreads, breads, and more, such as the cheese plate, a tour de fromage sidekicked by gourmet crackers and olives ($9), or its smokehouse doppelgänger ($9). Like a whole-wheat aqueduct, the mushroom-spinach pizza siphons a steady stream of silver-dollar mushrooms, mozzarella, feta, and provolone ($8). Chew through an English hedge maze of panko-coated eggplant caprese salad, with mozzarella, tomato, and basil ($5 half, $9 full), then celebrate victory with the succulent, spice-rubbed prime-rib sandwich ($8) or Italian basil-chicken sandwich ($8).
Ed Sbragia of the Sbragia Family Vineyards is famous for his chardonnay and cabernet. Included in the Sbragia Family Vineyards tastings are two varietals: Home Ranch chardonnay ($26.99/bottle) and Andolsen Vineyard cabernet sauvignon ($35.99/bottle). From his experience at Beringer, Ed Sbragia also knows the inner grape workings of dozens of other varietals, knowledge applied to the creation of the three other tastable bottlings: the Home Ranch sauvignon blanc ($20.99/bottle), Home Ranch merlot ($26.99/bottle), and Gino's Vineyard zinfandel ($28.99/bottle).
Taste Creative Cuisine entertains eardrums and taste buds at the same time by presenting a menu full of contemporary twists on classic Southern cooking and regular sets of live jazz. Like carving a family chicken dinner with a laser-knife, the food roster modernizes mainstays of country-style dining. Fried chicken rests atop sweet-potato waffles, creamy aioli garnishes Cajun catfish sandwiches, and artichoke butter sauce adds flavor to cornmeal-breaded walleye pike. Handcrafted cocktails complement the Louisiana-fusion fare, as muted jazz trumpets, wailing saxophones, and standup comics keep audiences dancing and laughing into the night.
The young crew behind ONEHOPE Wine believes wine can do more than dance with flavor and stain frocks fashioned from fine white camel hair. Each bottle has been instilled with a rich taste and beauty to complement its selflessness. One ONEHOPE box yields one bottle each of California merlot, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, zinfandel, sauvignon blanc, and an exclusive summer white (an $18.99 value per bottle). The 2008 merlot uses grapes grown in the Lodi and Paso Robles regions, where a cool Pacific fog maintains grape acidity, creating a full flavor that complements its black cherries, plums, and figs.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

president, even if nominated by the authorities, may win the support of
voters; p 1-2 (727 words).
4. Aleksandr Panchenko article headlined "Lufthansa nears Vnukovo" says

1. Aleksandra Samarina article headlined "Kasyanov's Helsinki theses"
says that yesterday at a conference in Helsinki, the co-chairman of the
unregistered Parnas party, Mikhail Kasyanov, called on the West to rule
parliamentary and presidential elections in Russia illegitimate. In an

Russia. Experts regard the move as an important signal to the Russian
elite linked to Vladimir Putin's decision to run for president; p 1, 3

3. Anastasiya Bashkatova article headlined "Election pension reverence"

more than a pre-election move aimed at winning over ordinary people; p
1, 4 (789 words).
4. Sergey Konovalov article headlined "Kindergartens subjected to
demilitarization" looks at problems relating to kindergartens and other
facilities, which are being handed over from the Defence Ministry to

5. Aleksandra Samarina article headlined "Reshuffle for the worse" says
that yesterday the Centre of Strategic Developments and the Russian
Academy of National Economy presented a report focusing on negative

6. Sergey Kulikov article headlined "Workers and specialists fleeing
from Belarus" says that the number of migrant workers coming from
Belarus to Russia is rapidly increasing despite Belarussian President
Alyaksandr Lukashenka's threats; p 1, 4 (673 words).
7. Editorial headlined "Leftist concentration" says that a very high
possibility of the One Russia party losing its constitutional majority
at the new State Duma will result in the strengthening of the left-wing
bloc and a more complicated process of passing bills for necessary but
unpopular reforms rather than in more democracy; p 2 (463 words).

befriend police" says that being tired of detentions during rallies

Change, Chris Huhne, headlined "Great Britain's and Russia's energy

11. Yuriy Roks article headlined "South Ossetia to get new president"

presidential race; p 7 (651 words).
12. Darya Ziryulik article headlined "Russia to retain gas leadership"

beginning military actions against Iran; p 8 (589 words).
14. Vladimir Skosyrev article headlined "India and Pakistan move towards
each other" says that India and Pakistan seem to have started
rapprochement. Experts, however, say the burden of contradictions is too
heavy to count on a rapid ease of tensions in the region; p 8 (398

Thirty thousand billion trillion years in the future.
The universe is now a corrupted and hellish place. The mutated spawn of a million alien species have consumed all that was once good.
Now, in a world where the werewolf lords of Karmaggis battle the androids of Sibelius prime, where the mutanoid slavers of Astrogar plunder and the Drakovian rape tribes pillage; heroes are but a lost ideal.
Yet in this cosmic hell of metal and magic, of future and fantasy, a new breed of warriors arise. Ruthless and inhumane, restless and unstoppable. They are the only good guys worse than the bad guys. They are Starbarians.
Killgar and Hogstrong.
Characters from an upcoming short/potential series.

reviews & comments (67)
The recipe took a lot of doctoring to become good. I sauteed 3 slices of bacon, 13oz of linguica, and then procced with the onions. I added buckwheat because that's what I had at hand. The recipe came out blah, so I added ketchup, worstershire, soy, salt, and sugar, in a sip and stir method until it was ok. Served with smoked shredded cheddar, gouda, and gruyere, chipotle and cilantro creama, red onions, etc. There are better chili recipes out there.
Meh. I've been excited to make this for months; pretty much disappointed. The spice is nice and sultry, but the combination of bulgur, black beans, and butternut squash would be better lent to a cold spring salad as opposed to a muddy chili. the toppings (greek yogurt, green chilis, hot sauce, avocado) were a saving grace.
I thought this was good, but nothing special, if not a bit bland, when served without the condiments suggested. The fresh cilantro, sour cream ( I used Greek yogurt) and pickled jalepenos really kicked it up a notch, and I loved it with these additions.
My husband and I thought this was really good, but our boys - 6 and 9 did not like it which surprised me. It may have been the chipotle with the adobo sauce. So if you're making this for elementary kids, you may not want to put the chipotle pepper in to avoid chaos at the table.
I read the recipe wrong and thought I needed canned beans. So ended up making the recipe with a can of black beans and a can of spicy chili beans. I left out the chili peppers. So good! Can't wait to make it again. It was a good use of butternut squash. I have a bunch of them from my garden which I couldn't find a good recipe to use them for. Thanks for sharing!
Hearty and tasty - especially with sour cream, sweet onions, and cilantro on top. After I read the reviews, I cut back on the water to make a thick chili. Also used tablespoons as measures of chili powder (thanks again, reviewers!). Used four chipotle peppers - was a good decision for my spice preferences.
I made half the recipe and ate it a day later over whole wheat penne. I added a little homemade Italian sausage and substituted greek yogurt for the sour cream. Next time I would add more than a cup and a half of squash. It was delicious with all the toppings minus jalapeno.
This was wonderful...full of flavor, filling, and great for a wintry evening meal. Will definitely make again!
Prepped all the veggies last night, turned on the crock pot this morning, added the bulgur when I got home from work,and we enjoyed our meal an hour later. What could be simpler? Added a bit more spice than the recipe called for and subbed canned red beans for the black, becuase that's what I had on hand. Loved the squash in this chili!

The Phantom of the Opera, the best-selling and longest-running Broadway show of all time, returns to Boston this summer in a production that promises to outdo itself.
Revitalized with an all-new set, staging, and choreography, the classic Andrew Lloyd Webber musical will run from June 26 through July 20 at the Boston Opera House.
The original Phantom of the Opera premiered in London in 1986 and on Broadway in 1988, and it's been running ever since. It tells the story of a poignant love triangle among young soprano Christine, her suitor Raoul, and the mysterious Phantom, who lurks in the shadows of the Paris Opera House. This new production, which just completed a sold-out tour of the United Kingdom, features Mark Campbell as The Phantom, Julia Rose Udine as Christine, and Ben Jacoby as Raoul.
Among the show's highlights are the exquisite costumes, the spectacular special effects – including the famous chandelier – and of course, the unforgettable musical score.
Visit the Boston Opera House website for more information and a schedule of performances. Tickets are available here.

As I read the comments, the whole idea is to build something like this WITHOUT any consent. It is your land. It is your building. It is not their business. And you don't need their permission to do with it what you please.
From the pictures, I note that the upright 4x4's are a different color than the rest of the lumber--they were pressure treated lumber. (possibly CCA, or if more recent, ACQ) I did not see if there was any concrete or quickrete in the footing holes. As far as short term residency is concerned, the cabin structure pictured is quite strong. I live in the Midwestern US, and the roof structure shown will hold up to normal snow loading for an area as far north as Iowa. As far as wood rot and insect infestation, I personally have camped in Boy Scout camps with cabins built in the 1930's to 1950's that were only recently being removed and replaced.
Building in New Zealand is governed by the Building Code and by NZS 3604:2011 (Timber-framed building standard.)
This instructable infringes the NZ standard in so many ways that it would not pass initial scrutiny by a Local Authority if a Building Consent application was to be lodged.
A few points -
1) The joists are too close to the ground, are attached to the boundary "bearer" with nails in shear and have no approved metal hangers.
2) Foundations can be either a concrete slab with footings and steel reinforcing to suit the site or piles (set in concrete) which support bearers which in turn support the joists. A "pole" building such as this does not comply.
3) Wall framing must be by way of studs (size and spacing to NZS 3604) - a building of this sizs would need guaged 100mm x 50mm studs. Walings fixed to posts to support cladding is not acceptable for a habitable building. The entire floor, walls,roof and cladding on this instructable are supported by coach screws in shear.
4) The rafters are not connected be either ceiling joists or collar ties to prevent the walls being forced apart under live roof loads.
5) There are no moisture barriers in floor, walls or roof.
6) There appears to be no head flashings to the joinery.
7) Bracing, under the code, is inadequate for wind and earthquake.
I do not suggest that the building causes danger to its occupants - just that the NZ viewer was thinking of building it in their yard and by doing so would cause much trouble for themselves.
The idea is to protect subsequent building owners by having property records show that the building was constructed to the Building Code by proper use of the Standard..
Not entirely correct. The same building code states that if the floor area is less than 10 square metres, has no sanitary features (shower, toilet, sink) and built the same distance from the boundary as the building is high, then an unlicensed home owner can construct their own building. As megnwayn has stated, the building has to conform to NZ building standards, and if you want to add electricity and water, then you'll need licensed practioners.
The building in this constructable has a floor area of about 22.5 sq metres so you would need a builder to oversee and sign off on the construction.
Well I am not a licensed building practitioner here the USA, But I could build this as good or better than a Licensed Practitioner
I did enough construction in NYC to understand the "why" of building codes, but if I call it a shed does it still need to pass code?
Additionally what if my house /structure was built before codes existed.
In the US building codes are up to the state, although there is a national electric code, a very wimpy set of regulations, I don't know if there is a plumbing or general building code.
One thing is certain, if there is a code and you do not follow it to the letter and it is destroyed by anything, or someone trips and falls, your insurance company WILL take 3 steps back from you in court. If you have a mortgage and the bank finds out they can make you either remove it or get it passed the zoning/building departments of who ever is in loco-parentus of your area.
Where I am if you build a shed over a certain size you need a permit, to build and pay for all the inspections. A premade MUST comply with the code and will be inspected asd well....And then there are the taxes. Under a certain size (pitifully small), no tax over that size size you will pay for outdoor, non livable structure rate.
Nice job though, looks like a KOA cabin. I enjoyed it, but would like a close up of the hurricane reinforcement.
I would add 1 thing to it Solar electric and water panels, if you are in the right part of the US. And you need NOT put them on the roof, you could build an awning for picnicing. I have seen an entire buildings worth of solar panels set on a roof on Long Island about 10 feet high and length of the property. In a storm they sustain no damage. Underneath you can use for parties. Snow can be squeegied off the panels or they can be covered in case of storms.
oops I saw the studs in place I would love a picture pulled back , but it is built! and a lovely build it was!
I want to build some cabins with lofts high enough to stand in so I want to know what post to use and maybe a basement I want a 10m by 7m cabin so need about 8 posts what do you call those post are they pressure treated
My land, my time, my money. If I want to build a fun little cabin in the back to hang out in quietly, then I will. :)

I enjoyed this article. Looks like you have a nice comfortable retreat. I recently built a 16x16 cabin in my backyard that I've grown pretty fond of. I just started putting up some pictures online if anyone is interested in seeing how I built mine.
I really like that one do you still have the plans for that cabin? I love the pitch on the roof and the shaded area you have it in and that would allow it to stay cool
I love your cabin! Do you still have the plans or can you tell me where I can get the plans? I am seriously considering building this as my hunting club cabin.
Thank You H Lawrence email@example.com
You have done a great job also,I like the shade,bet it helps keep your cabin nice and cool.
Great job, I just wanted to ask if you have any problems with moisture or dampness from the ground underneath the floor? In your pictures it looks like there was nothing else done to the ground other than to scape the grass away.
Just wondered if it has caused any problems?
I see major mistakes here!
1st. Any wood touching the ground or mounted to a concrete slab should be pressure treated, I give a year or two before the entire base of the structure begins to rot or mold. This also goes for the eves as well.
2nd. Wrapping the exterior in Tyvec House Wrap will create a moisture barrier protecting the interior studding.
3rd. I see wall stud layout where a lot of material was wasted by putting several rows of 2 x 4's in between vertical studs (Windows yes it's needed).
4th. There is no attic or craw space venting through the eves and tip of the roof pitch, this will make the rafters become petrified or rot due too moisture being trapped as well as hold in air pressure above with massive heat build up.
Now a inexpensive exterior walls idea. James Hardie 48" x 96" Fiber Cement Panel Siding is a product that is tough as nails but easy to install and comes in colors and patterns (Lowe's or Home Depot both carry it) and cost around $25 to $30 a sheet.
Tip: Construct each wall on a fairly flat surface first then anchor the base of the wall to a concrete slab or other supporting type base(nail a temporary 2 x 4 at a angle to support your wall until your able secure it at the base and adjacent walls.)
Added bonus--the cement board comes in different colors (it's limited, but I think we had a choice of ten colors) and doesn't need to ever be painted or can be painted. We put it on our addition eight years ago and looks like when we first put it up. Hasn't faded and since it's on second floor we decided not to paint and have to worry about climbing up to paint it. Definitely worth the price.
yes your right it need to make a base out of concrete first and then maybe a wood flooring just incase. hahaha
At first I was concerned about the roof system, however. (I'm used to building in the mountains where we could get a 3 foot snow load so I'm a little paranoid.) My concern in that over time a heavy snow load would press down on the roof, and the forces would tend to bow the center rafter board at its center, which would pull the center 4x4 posts away from each other at their tops. While the two 2x10 stringers would hold the corner posts together (one at each end of the building) the center post 4x4 tops are mostly held in by the strength of the 4x4 itself (being held straight by the concrete base). The double stringers on the long sides would provide some resistance for the center 4x4 tops from being pressed outward but their real strength is set to provide sagging resistance for the rafter boards. Of course if this began to happen you could always add another internal stringer between the center 4x4 posts (either made of wood or metal) but this would be a shame to break up the nice open internal roof space.
Maybe your snow loads are light enough to never see a problem! I just would hate to see heavy snows and wood bending over time to ruin your good work.
Best Wishes
I one of my first jobs in life was building houses and this is not a "cabin"; just a "shed".
It is not fit for habitation if that is what this poster is going to use it for.
Granted it looks nice and that is about as far as it goes.
Snow load is poor due to the roof constructed; I would put money down it collapses when there is heavy snow or starts to cave in after a number of snows.
The posts buried in to the dirt with no concrete footing as well as they are now termite magnets. Also six basic legs supporting an x number thousand or so pounds of roof that can and will fall on you when it collapses.
Very poor horizontal and vertical bracing in the walls; good storm and the wind will push it over..
I would have sheeted the outer wall with either plywood or the current sheeting used on houses; far cheaper than what was used.
As one poster pointed and I do as well as I now buy shipping containers instead.
Way Way stronger and way way more secure. I just construct a gabled roof and bolt it to the top and cut my door and windows. I also sheet the outside with the current housing wood sheeting and it really looks nice; steel underneath it..
Menahunie, I like the shipping container idea, would it work if you added space to the outside wall, then poured in the 2 part insulation??
You do not have to put them in at wall height, and if you just did them in the area in question (say, oh, about an 8' to 10' section dead center) and sheeted the bottom of it you could have a nice spot to mount a light, or use as storage for fishing poles etc.... or you could put two sets in said area, one set about 1' under the ridge, and the second set 1' to 2' above wall height …….. Either way, this would hold the outward pressure on the walls, from any weight exerted on the roof system.

About This Project
I made this bed pretty much by myself, my hubby helped me assemble it in the bedroom. It is king size so I had to do my own measurements. To my surprise it was pretty easy. Just make your measurements accurate. Had blast. Next project please!

LOVE it!!!! What were the measurements that you used for the King size?
celestmonks replied on Permalink
Please, please double check measurements as you go. My mattress is smaller than most kings. The average for a king is 76x80. I actually had to take my bed apart and resize it. Just make sure your mattress is smaller than 76" wide. The headboard won't need adjusted just the foot board if yours is bigger. I also didn't change the height just width. You will need 14-1x6 panels for the panel this will make the panel 76x24. The bottom 2x6 of the panel is also 76 inches the top is 83 but double check with the panel you have already built. My 1x3 for the top I cut at 85 inches based on my trim. Like Ana advised cut your trim to what you have built. Build the legs exactly the same as Ana and the foot board 1x8 was cut to 76 inches. My side rails were 81 inches. Now because I had to cut my frame smaller is made me have to attach my rails to the headboard on the inside of my headboard legs ( Ana does this with the farmhouse bed). I think this is all. My best advice cut as you go and make exact measurements. My mattress fits very tight now which is what I wanted. Good luck!

What color is that?
I have been looking for this color but can't seem to match it up right with anything that I have bought. I REALLY REALLY love this color and was hoping that you might remember the name and place that you bought it from????? I know it is a long shot since it has been a few years since you built the bed. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!!

Constantine (15)
Not yet rated
Time Out says
Lovingly hewn from his usual stack of four-by-twos, Keanu Reeves' plank-like reincarnation of grumpy, chain-smoking exorcist-about-town John Constantine may not bear much resemblance to the original blond, British, working-class demon dick in DC Comics' Hellblazer series, but it does give more than a passing nod to a certain 'Neo'. Born a reluctant saviour of us all, torn 'twixt two realities by his second-sight ability to see the half-breed angels and demons that walk among us, Constantine killed himself at the age of 15, only to earn a two-minute tour of Hell (which looks like LA, in case you're wondering), a dose of lung cancer (Keanu says: don't smoke, kids) and a return ticket back to purgatory on Earth.So far, his craven attempts to bob-a-job his way into Heaven by saving souls have failed to impress Him upstairs: as androgyne Gabriel (Tilda Swinton) sweetly puts it, 'You're fucked'. Until Rachel (acting her socks off) Weisz's sceptical cop Angela (subtle) asks him to investigate the death of her twin sister, offering Consters one final shot at true self-sacrifice. Darker than 'Hellboy', more complex than 'Elektra', this latest speech-bubble-to-screen adaptation creaks more towards the good (godlike Coen Bros fave Peter Stormare as Satan) than the bad (Reeves! Reeves! Reeves! Burn!) thanks largely to an intriguingly twisted script and the admirable CGI-restraint of Justin Timberlake's video-director, Francis Lawrence. Proof perhaps that the devil does indeed have the best tunes… until evil triumphs and Constantine topples into a hell-fire of plot Babel that makes 'The Matrix Revolutions' seem clear as the Pope and an unholy Devil ex Machina twist that's entirely beyond redemption.

I am looking for a good & easy PB pie recipe.
Jan ") |
Follow-Up Postings:
Jan, I used to make a PB Pie that was awesome, I don't remember the exact recipe, but I'll try to recreate it for you. I used a homemade graham cracker crust, added chopped peanuts and baked it. Then I took a quart of vanilla ice cream softened, added vanilla extract and lots of chunky peanut butter, maybe 2 cups. Mixed it all together, put it in the cooled crust and froze it. When it was time to serve, take it out of freezer for about 10 minutes and drizzled heated hot fudge sauce over the top. Hope this helps! Gina |

My recipe is very similar to the Chicago PB Pie, but my kids prefer the smooth peanutbutter, & a bit less sugar. I whip up extra cream to add to the top with some chocolate chips/shaved chocolate, etc. |

text: National Park lands in Ka'u could increase under Sen. Schatz bill March 21, 2013 by Julia Neal MORE NATIONAL PARK LANDS could be added in Ka`u if legislation by Sen. Brian Schatz goes forward. The bill, aimed at expanding Hawai`i's National Parks, including sections of the Ka`u Coast, is the first piece of legislation offered by the freshman U.S. Senator who was appointed to office by Gov. Neil Abercrombie at the end of last year, following the death of longtime Senator Daniel Inouye. Preservation of the Ka`u Coast has been a community initiative for more than a decade, leading to preservation of more than 1,000 acres between Honu`apo Pier and Punalu`u through county, state, federal and private money. The land is under the stewardship of the county with cooperation from community groups. Thousands of additional Ka`u acres are under consideration around Road to the Sea and the slope above Honu`po across lands toward South Point. Called the Pacific Islands Parks Act of 2013, the Schatz legislation calls for resource studies on the Ka`u Coast and several other Hawaiian Islands locations to be overseen by the Secretary of the Interior. The studies over three years could be funded from revenues taken in by the federal government from offshore gas and oil operations. Schatz noted the value of national parks in Hawai`i for the visitor industry, as the parks bring in more than $260 million a year. Comments on the bill can be directed to Shatz's website at schatz.senate.gov/contact.cfm. See the new parks link. Hawai`i Volcanoes National Parks Superintendent Cindy Orlando said that the park is very interested in the studies and has been working with Hawai`i's delegation to congress on this initiative for a number of years. Rep. Ed Case and Maize Hirono asked for the studies of the Ka`u Coast, following the state's South Kona – Ka`u Coastal Conservation Task Force of community members recommending preservation of the Ka`u Coast in 2006. Sen. Brian Schatz 03.20.2013 "One of Hawai'i's greatest resources is its globally unique mountains, forests, volcanoes, trails, and wildlife. Visitors from all over the world travel to Hawai'i to experience not only the natural beauty, but also the cultural and historical significance of our national parks, which has resulted in a significant contribution to our state's growing economy. These studies are a critical step in protecting natural resources, preserving history and culture in Hawai'i and across the Pacific, and providing access to residents and visitors who want to share in Hawai'i's breathtaking natural environment. It is my hope that this legislation will begin a conversation about what sites should become national parks, monuments, trails, preserves, memorials, historic sites, and other public land designations."

Like Lisa and Lyndi said. It is Orthophytum saxicola var. aloifolium as Chanin previously mentioned. |
Thank you. So it's a brom? Then I should plant it in soil-less mix? Or just let it be like it has been? Should I divide it now? I have so many questions because seeing the plant in this stage I don't want to eventually lose it due to not knowing how to care for it properly. Please help me more. Xuan |

Treat like a crptanthus it will be happy |
I'd give it a lot more sun than a Cryptanthus. That will bring out the bronzy color. Orthophytums are terrestrial bromeliads, so they need their roots in some kind of media, not necessarily garden soil. They can take a fair amount of water as long as the soil mix is well-drained. You can divide it if you want to make more, but this species is a natural clumper. Just cut away any dry, bloomed-out rosettes and it will probably fill in the bare spaces fairly quickly. |
Many thanks, lisa. Your advice is very helpful. I'm now more confident about what to do next with this plant. Xuan |

How thick does a hull need be? Or is more glass always better?

I agree with JimsCAL - this is an area that I had experience with when I bought my 1966 Nicholson 32 (they are prone to blistering). As I was told by an employee of the boatyard where she was built - "we didn't know how long this plastic stuff would last, and epoxy was very, very cheap - we just kept putting it on until we got bored." The problem is that they were not particularly GOOD epoxies and matts compared to today's. That's why boats of that era really deserve a thorough drying and as many coasts of epoxy treatment as you have time and budget for (my shipwright insists there is nothing gained after 5, but I will probably go 6 or 7 when I redo my boat). Interprotect is well known (it was what was used on mine), but Blake's is also good (now Hempel perhaps), and when I queried around seems to get higher ratings by those that use it. I would also try to get a moisture meter reading on her hull and all appendages - despite being out of the water for a decade, there could still be trapped water in a rudder or somewhere. (Probably not, but if you can do it...).
But I would not increase the hull thickness - you would be adding weight, possibly substantial if you totalled it all up, and it may affect other things such as her balance.

"It's become a part time job calling Bell Customer Support to constantly straighten them out about one issue or another!!... Whether it's crappy or no service or improper billing, it's ALWAYS SOMETHING!!"
Developers who attempt to manipulate or cheat the user reviews or chart ranking in the App Store with fake or paid reviews, or any other inappropriate methods will be removed from the iOS Developer Program
All this is evidence of a refreshing new shift for the CRTC under the leadership of Jean-Pierre Blais. Mr Blais has even echoed OpenMedia.ca's call for the interests of Canadians to be "at the heart of our telecommunication system." It looks like the CRTC is being transformed in a powerful and important way - and all because hundreds of thousands of Canadians have demanded better.
And how times have changed. This represents a fundamental shift for an institution that had long served and protected the bottom-line interests of Canada's most lucrative Big Telecom companies: Bell, Rogers, and Telus. After all, it's not so long ago since the CRTC, then under the chairmanship of Konrad von Finckenstein, told OpenMedia's Steve Anderson that citizen concerns were out of scope during a crucial hearing on whether Internet access should be metered.
Things nowadays at the CRTC are by no means perfect. Let's not forget their approval of telecom giant Bell's takeover of our largest independent media company Astral. And more recently there was the Choicebook debacle where the CRTC put out an online consultation that was clearly biased by media and telecom lobbyists. The Choicebook survey was the second of a multi-stage process that followed extensive public consultations that OpenMedia took a leadership role in.
Our Connected Canada project ended up contributing the lion's share of input for the first stage of the CRTC consultation and highlighted the need to prevent telecom conglomerates from limiting access to content and services, to ensure access to public media and other independent services, and to decentralize the telecom services market.
Yet, despite this call from thousands of everyday Canadians, the CRTC continued into Phase II -- the much maligned "Choicebook" phase -- by skewing the process toward Big Telecom's interests. We think our Steve Anderson described it best when he said, "This 'choicebook' initiative is meant to build upon input the CRTC have received but it appears to be geared toward the interests of industry lobbyists. The primary concerns of Canadians are almost entirely absent and even undermined by the clear bias in the CRTC's survey."
Yet, despite criticism everyday Canadians and experts like Michael Geist and Peter Nowak, Mr. Blais assured Canadians that their voices were being heard: "I've also been told, again and again, that people just want a chance to be heard. We are still figuring out how best to go about that. We are utilizing new tools and technologies like Skype, online consultations and social media."
However, while there have undoubtedly been problems and glitches along the way, those who have been following these issues for a while have noticed that the approach the CRTC is taking is more and more beginning to resemble that of OpenMedia. That is: open, participatory, and citizen-centred. Especially when compared to the case of Konrad von "out-of-scope" Finckenstein.
This positive change is thanks to citizens right across Canada standing up and demanding a voice. For years, our small team at OpenMedia has worked hard to amplify your voices - speaking up for Canadians at CRTC hearings, and crowdsourcing a positive new vision for affordable Internet, as well as a clear road-map forward for our broken wireless market.
We've experienced setbacks along the way, but working together with you our community, we've pushed forward and won positive changes that will benefit all Canadians.
While we're now moving in the right direction, we still have a long road ahead to ensure Canadians get the open and affordable 21st century Internet they deserve. While it's good to see (aside from the occasional missteps) the CRTC addressing the symptoms of our broken telecom market, we also need to see them start tackling the disease by boldly confronting the out-of-control power of Canada's Big Telecom giants.
The CRTC needs to stop Big Telecom from blocking Canadians from accessing independent and affordable providers, or from prioritizing its own content over that of others. That means opening the networks to ensure that independent providers can operate on a level playing field with cost-based equal access to Canada's networks. And it means laying down the law to out-of-control telecom giants like Bell who want to spy on everything their customers do online.
So.... lots done, but lots more to do. The CRTC is currently reviewing policies that could help fix our dysfunctional wireless market, as well as rules that could give independent Internet service providers a serious shot at overthrowing the arrogance of Big Telecom. But, in order for this to work, we need everyone on board to keep up the pressure. Here's how you can help out, and get up to speed on the issues:
Let's keep speaking up, Canada!
Written with input from OpenMedia.ca's Josh Tabish and Glyn Lewis
To mark the occasion, OpenMedia is joining with our friends at Fight for the Future to support Reset the Net, a campaign to encourage people to use straightforward free tools to both better protect your privacy and to send the spy agencies a message in language they'll understand.
One of the things about working for an Internet freedom organization like OpenMedia, is that I often find myself working with people (inside and outside OpenMedia) who have more technical knowledge than me - I'm afraid I rather stand out around here for my lack of tech smarts! When it comes to writing an article or speaking with a journalist I'm on comfortable ground -- but ask me to untangle my SQLs from my CSS, and I'm lost at sea.
Sound familiar? Well, let me tell you that even someone with my less-than-impressive technical skills found these straightforward privacy tools incredibly easy to set up and start using. There's nothing to be afraid of -- and whether you're a fan of Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android, there are plenty of simple ways you can achieve a step change in your online privacy.
Let's have a look over some of the best tools out there -- we're urging everyone to each take a moment to give at least one of these powerful, easy-to-use tools a whirl.
For Windows users:
"There can be an overreaction in terms of how you correct it. So [Cavoukian is] raising a bit of an alarm here. Let's be very careful in how we could protect someone in a situation like this, but let's also be careful in going too far and limiting even things like free speech, [or using] invasive techniques that could be employed by policing."
"I'm hoping they take another look at this and kind of curtail some of those powers," Day added.
"I don't want to see our children victimized again by losing privacy rights. I am troubled by some of these provisions condoning the sharing of the privacy information of Canadians without proper legal process. We are Canadians with strong civil rights and values. A warrant should be required before any Canadian's personal information is turned over to anyone, including government authorities. We should also be holding our telecommunication companies and Internet providers responsible for mishandling our private and personal information. We should not have to choose between our privacy and our safety."
"The time for dressing up overreaching surveillance powers in the sheep-like clothing of sanctimony about the serious harms caused by child pornography and cyberbullying is long past"...
"To this day, the government continues to suggest that Canadians must live with bulked up surveillance powers, and limited oversight and accountability. The trade-off being sold to us is grounded in false assumptions and needlessly risks our right to live in a free society, today and well into the future."
"Rogers will own and control the online properties NHL Center Ice and NHL GameCenter Live, in Canada. Cord-cutters who've gotten used to watching "Hockey Night in Canada" streaming on the CBC site for free will be out of luck next season. Your only option for watching the games will be to pay Rogers."
"The companies also had various consulting firms working for them: Hill & Knowlton Strategies for BCE Inc.; Crestview Strategies and The Rothwell Group for Telus, who added Norton Rose's Derek Burney, the head of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's (Calgary Southwest, Alta.) transition team in 2006, in October."
"...in-house lobbyists contacted his policy director in December and PMO issues management director Alykhan Velshi in November. Bell board member Carole Taylor communicated with Mr. Moore twice in November"
"CSEC is also not supposed to engage in surveillance of Canadians except when it gets a special authorization to do so. Is that how it works in practice? The Edward Snowden revelations suggest widespread abuse of the spirit of the law by U.S. intelligence agencies. What's the story here? Who is overseeing the government's gatherers of secrets, and who is protecting us from them?"

4 Amazing SequelPosted: 25/03/2008This is an amazing game that expands on the story of the first game. The graphics are slightly better and the customisation has been improved.However i completed the solo campaign in about 6 hours on realistic, but lets face it the online multiplayer is what people buy it for. I do agree that 40 quid is a bit harsh for a glorified expansion but im gonna spend many hours online with the new maps and the way people can jump in mid-game means that there is always plenty of action.
3 OVERRATEDPosted: 20/02/2008Completed the single player in a couple of days and got sick of the multiplayer in a couple of weeks.Im a big fan of co-op gameplay so i still play rainbow and recon 2 online and enjoy the teamwork and strategy, but following an AI character through the one player story and racing to get the helicopter backup online isnt my idea of a great game.This was an average game that was visually impressive but that doesnt make it worth 40 quid. When this winds up in a second hand bin or play.com have a sale that makes it twenty quid i might rebuy just to add it to my collection.

4 Best AvailablePosted: 15/02/2008Everyone keeps saying play this on the PC, if you have a pc with the recommended specifications then yes i agree.However for the gamers who have only a console i would recommend picking this up as it is a very good strategy game with a very long life both off and online and a future expansion already almost here.I've played this on both formats but the graphics card and processing power and hard drive space required to play this at a decent quality on a pc will set you back far more than twenty five quid.BRING OUT AN XBOX USB MOUSE AND KEYBOARD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YOUR MICROSOFT SO HOW HARD CAN IT BE?
1 SolitudePosted: 06/02/200840 - 50 hours of single player?In this day and age of online gaming, who wants to sit alone and press hack and slash for 50 hours with no other contact than the friends in the room who cant join in even if they wanted too?Its about time the consoles had a world of warcraft of their own.

4 Awesome MultiplayerPosted: 18/01/2008I love this game on team deathmatch and co-op career, however i only play these games on single player for the acheivements. How many people in this day and age have either no friends and/or no internet access?It seems that Army of two might have the right idea.Oh and please make accessing grenades easier on Recon3, i dont always have time to access grenades, select grenade, throw grenade and reselect my gun when im in a fight, in rainbow you simply press the red button and boom ;)
4 Michael Mann must make this movie or dont bother plzPosted: 29/11/2007Loved hitman and was really looking forward to this, I do like the game but was hoping for a bit more A.I than constantly having to swear at the stupid ally who stands in the line of fire. However playing it on co-op last night was a lot more fun and the HEAT style shootout in the streets and the COLLATERAL style shootout in the club was a nice touch. Not sure if i can be bothered playing again through the campaign again on solo for a while though. If u cant get link up or internet and your split screen is on anything less than a 40" i'd get something else......like a wireless guitar game ;)
3 DisappointingPosted: 26/11/2007No light sabres.....No comparison.I spent hours running back and forth talking to people and not enough time in combat, perhaps i've spent too much time on rainbow six and recon since KOTOR2, but i was a massive fan of baldurs gate and icewind dale and both the old republic games but this just didnt grab me at all, i've since got kane and lynch and my blood thirst is satisfied ;)

Chicago: NoMI, at the Park Hyatt
It's got to be tough to wrest diners' attention from the seventh-floor views, Tony Chi's moody-chic design and glassworks by Dale Chihuly, but rising star Christophe David does so with his sophisticated, French-influenced cooking. We loved: Braised Jamison Farms lamb with pastilla and eggplant marmalade.

Alternate title: Blank Man
Are you ready for a new kind of superhero -- a thirty-something virgin in long underwear? Darryl Walker (Damon Wayans) is a bright but socially inept man with a gift for inventing things but little skill for functioning in the real world. His brother Kevin (David Alan Grier) works on a low-class tabloid news show featuring beautiful anchorwoman Kimberley Jonz (Robin Givens), whom he secretly loves. The Walkers live in Metro City, Illinois, a city that's been hit with a massive crime wave after the mayor is kidnapped by gangsters. After his grandmother is killed, Darryl builds a collection of crime-fighting robots from household junk, invents bullet-proof long underwear (made from his grandmother's old housecoat), and becomes Metro City's newest crime fighter, Blankman. Blankman's escapades put fear into the heart of mob boss Michael Minelli (Jon Polito), and when Kevin turns out to have an inside track on Blankman's activities, it brings him closer to Kimberley. But how long can a superhero with no superpowers last against the forces of organized crime? Damon Wayans wrote the original story for Blankman as well as co-writing the screenplay and playing the title role, which was based in part on his "Handi-Man" character from the TV comedy series In Living Color. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
