A Sony e-reader that is currently on the market
Just one day before the iPad hits Japanese store shelves, Sony has stepped into the game saying "Wait for us!" The electronics giant announced today that it would be launching a new e-reader to rival Apple's uber popular iPad. The new reader will also be supported by "one of the largest eBook distribution platforms in Japan," according to Sony. But will it be able to compete with Apple's flat wonder?
While the announcement comes now, Sony said that it will wait until the end of the year to actually launch its new reader and content service. Although it seems strange for Sony to wait so many months after the release of the iPad, they explained that the breadth of available content is more important than time to market, which makes sense since their last e-book venture in Japan (which was only a reader with no supporting content) flopped.
The debut of Sony's first wireless e-reader in 2009
To set up and maintain desirable content, Sony partnered with telecommmunications operator KDDI Corp, printing company Toppan Printing Co. and popular Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. Their distribution service plans to offer books, comics, magazines and newspaper content.
Sony already has an e-book business in the United States, but pulled similar products from Japanese stores in 2007 due to bland sales figures. They're planning to capture the attention of more Japanese buyers now that the iPad is creating a buzz around e-readers and more people are concerned about the environmental impact of printing millions of newspapers everyday.

Wilco - Misunderstood Lyrics
Wilco – Misunderstood Lyrics
When you're back in your old neighborhood
The cigarettes taste so good
But you're so misunderstood
You're so misunderstood
There's something there that you can't find
Honest when you're tellin' a lie
You hurt her but you don't know why
You love her but you don't know why
Short on long term goals
There's a party there that we ought to go to
Do you still love rock and roll?
Do you still love rock and roll?
It's only a quarter to three
Reflected off the LCD
You're looking at a picture of me
You're staring at a picture of me
Take the guitar player for a ride
He ain't never been satisfied
He thinks he owes some kind of debt
Be years before he gets over it
There's a fortune inside your head
All you touch turns to lead
You think you might just crawl back in bed
The fortune inside your head
You know you're just a mama's boy
Positively unemployed
So misunderstood
So misunderstood
I know you're gotta God shaped hole
Leanin' out your__
So misunderstood [x4]
I'd like to thank you all for nothin'
I'd like to thank you all for nothin' at all
I'd like to thank you all for nothin'
Nothin' [x4]
Nothin' at all
Nothin' [x3]
Nothin' at all

Hi: 13° Lo:3°
By Tristan Harris Wednesday 23 January 2013 Updated: 24/01 14:14
A HOPWOOD cat rescue centre has appealed for Standard readers' help in dealing with a huge homeless cat problem.
Cramar Cat Rescue took in 15 adult cats after answering a call from a house containing 90 cats where the owners were unable to look after them.
A unit usually closed during the winter months was quickly cleaned to make way for the new arrivals and the 15 were each given a health check, notching up a bill of £1,000.
The centre, which is struggling with funds, now wants to know if any residents can help.
Ann Allbutt said: "This is always the most difficult time of the year financially with utility bills at their highest and food bills always expensive as our first priority is to ensure all the cats in our care are kept warm and also well fed.
"Such a large amount of cats arriving at one time has put extra pressure on our finances."
The centre is open everyday between 11am and 2pm for anyone who can give a cat a loving home to go along and see those residing there.
Donations would also be welcome.

An indigenously developed vaccine against influenza could be a month away, according to Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare Ghulam Nabi Azad.
The vaccine, being developed by several pharmaceutical companies in India and with funds largely from the private sector, has reached the human clinical trial stage, Mr. Azad told presspersons after addressing the 14th convocation of the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (Nimhans) on Wednesday.
India has "taken advantage" of the recent swine flu pandemic to create a domestic vaccine, said Mr. Azad, adding that "if all goes well" the vaccine could be launched in a month. "We seen outbreaks bird flu, swine flu and the A (H1N1) strain of influenza. Several countries in the developed world have vaccines. This will be the first for India."
As many as 68 students received their degrees at the convocation and eight presented awards. Mr. Azad said that exhorted the graduating students to opt for postings in rural areas where there is a dire shortage of medical practitioners, especially at the primary health sub-centres. The Union government has proposed to incentivise rural postings with a 10 per cent to 30 per cent weightage given to the candidates in the marks they score in the national entrance exam for postgraduate courses, he added.
The acute shortage of mental health professionals in the country was a matter of concern, said Mr. Azad.
Defence spin-off
Delivering the convocation address, Chief Controller Research and Development at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) W. Selvamurthy said that indigenous biomedical technology, such as those developed as a spin-off of defence research, should be given impetus.

Many of you will recall that the Bush regime came into office with the bold promise to restore integrity to the White House. What they have done, however, is desecrate the office of the presidency with drunken belligerency and unbridled criminality. There hasn 't been real integrity in the White House for decades. There is not an ounce of integrity to be divided amid the entire Bush cabal --not an ounce!
Congress has degenerated into a dung heap of moral prostitution --a system of legalized bribery without shame or regret. It is a festering cancer that is eating away the integrity of our national identity. We are becoming mired in a judicial system that appears to be following a similar path to depravity and corruption. This didn 't happen as the result of an unfortunate accident. It happened because we allowed it to happen; we willed it into existence through indifference and apathy. We abrogated our duty as citizens to be vigilant and active. We bought the goods those in power sold us. Now we are left to hold the bag and the bottom is falling out.
Never in the course of the American experiment has a more opaque and secretive government occupied the White House. Never has a more anti-democratic group of miscreants slithered through the halls of power. Democracy requires transparency and openness. It demands respect for the Constitution and for the Bill of Rights. It requires respect for and adherence to the law. It requires a deep and abiding deference to the people and the public good. It esteems International law and the rights of other nations to sovereignty. It respects the right to privacy of its citizens. The Bush cabal has done none of those things. Indeed, they have consistently shown not only disdain for the higher principles of civil society --they are openly contemptuous of them.
Bush governs in the manner of a spoiled adolescent who thinks he can do whatever he wants. Not only does Bush think he is above the law --he believes he is the law. A president that sees the Constitution as an obstruction to his agenda cannot be good for the country. George Bush presides over the most corrupt regime ever to defile the oval office --an accomplishment that takes some doing. Bush has probably never been held accountable for his actions during any phase of his life. He has always surrounded himself with enablers who will never tell the emperor that he has no clothes. This would account for his stunning lack of life skills.
Whatever entities Bush managed in his adult life have always met a swift demise. This does not exactly inspire confidence now that he has his hands on the presidency. Say goodbye to all that is good and decent about America and welcome depravity.
The ruling principle of this regime is that might makes right. Physical force may rule on the school playground; but it does not hold sway in a world of nations that believe in International Treaties and the rule of law. It is justice that makes right, not the iron fists of militarism. Rule by coercion always results in armed conflict. Militarism can never result in peace or social justice. Without justice there can be no peace. Thus the lid boils off the pot in the volatile Middle East and beyond. You reap what you sow. Force is always met with force; and forever with the result that people will needlessly die.
We know we are in a bad place when the likes of George Bush and his enablers in Congress come into power through the edifice of the Supreme Court. We should realize that we are in trouble when we idolize morally bankrupt players like Donald Trump as shinning examples for our children to emulate. America has a love affair with the class system --with those born into positions of power and privilege that most of us will never know or even want to know. To our eternal shame, these are the kind of men that America has come to respect and to emulate. The more ruthless and craven these men are the louder we seem to sing their praises.
We had the outstanding and uplifting moral example of Dr. Martin Luther King to guide us; but we assassinated him when the nation was on the brink of revolution. We have made our personal and our cultural choices. Now we have to live with the consequences of those choices. We could have had the saintly Dr. King. But we chose George Bush and Donald Trump. If only we could wrestle back the hands of time and choose again. Perhaps we would get it right.

new bin, bedding, drowning worms...
I started a worm bin out of a plastic container about a week ago and after reading a number of posts realized that I may have already made a number of mistakes....
1) I made my own bin, the instructions I had received did not mention drilling holes for drainage or keeping a pan under the bin. I but a few cups of water on on top of the just after I put the worms in. Is it possible that I drowns my worms? Would it be bad to take the worms out and put them into a new bin so soon after starting it? If I restart it, how long should I wait/do I have to restart it?
2) I had mixed some potting soil with food scraps which I had been saving up for about a week on the bottom of the bin. I dumped the worms in and placed moistened strips of newspaper on top of them. Is this an effective way to start the bin?
3) Among the original foods in the bin was rice and bread. Can the worms eat this, I saw a post that suggested they can't?
4) I used newspaper that was a mix of colored and b/w, non of it was glossy, is this ok?
5) My initial problem which made me look deeper into FAQs was that after a few days in the bin a few of the worms were crawling up the sides. At that point my roommate had place blankets on top of the bin. Did they crawl up in search of air or was there another reason?
Thanks, I'd appreciate any help you can give
One Last Question: I dont think I understand where I should be putting my scraps. I have been told to put them under the newspaper but above the soil that is already in there. Is seems on other sites there is no or little mention of newspaper on top. Any advice?
Hello and welcome to worm world!!
I THINK YOU NEED MORE BEDDING RIGHT AWAY. Dry shredded newspaper, torn cardboard, dry crumpled leaves. Perhaps some coconut coir, which I guess you can buy on line--I never buy anything to feed worms--but some people do.
And no more blankets! They may have been trying to get air.
And please drill some holes all over the bin. Or poke some holes with a sharp knife or something. I did that until I charmed a driller to drill for me. Maybe you should leave the lid off until you get more air holes in there.
It is my understanding that the worms don't eat the food, they eat the bacteria that is eating the food. So I think the rice and bread would be too much for them at first. I haven't tried those foods yet inside, and when I have given my outside bins those things I have given very little. About 1/2 cup of food a week is what I have read is good for starting a bin. I put the food where you do, under the dry torn up newspaper and above the heavier matter.
Hopefully more experienced inside worm farmers will chime in...I have had outside bins for about 3 years. No problems. Inside is a little harder. Roommates are there for one thing! And we have to live with what ever mistakes we have made--smells, escaping worms, all that! I have one inside bin and it is going well, but I have only had it about two months.
It seems that the most common mistake people make is too much wet food not enough dry bedding.
To help you out others might need to know how many worms you have, how big the bin is, and where it is in your house.
Good Luck! Always nice to see a fellow NYer!
1) Trying to manage moisture in a plastic bin with no drainage holes can be difficult. I am 6 months into this, and I still have water draining from my bins much of the time. I doubt you drowned your worms. Drowning won't be the problem. Lack of oxygen in the bottom of the bin will be the problem. You will want to do something to provide drainage soon. The worms won't be happy about all the fussing, but they will get over it.
2) The way you started your bin could work, but it isn't optimum. If you have real composting worms, you don't need the potting soil. If the potting soil has chemical fertilizers in it, it will be harmful to the worms. What will work better is to fill your bin about 6 inches deep with damp, shredded paper or cardboard, and bury the food in that. Maybe you can dump your bin on a sheet of plastic, drill holes in the bottom, fill it with damp shredded cardboard and paper, then dump what you have on top of that.
3) Worms can eat rice and bread, but you want to go easy on them. Before the worms can eat them, they will go moldy, the mold will die off, then they will go mushy. During the moldy phase, the mold spreads and turns the area around it into a solid mass. It will take some time for the mold to do its thing and die off. After that happens, the worms will have a feast. Rice by itself will also heat up, which can kill your worms. Either feed it in small amounts mixed in with other kitchen scraps, or only in a small corner of the bin.
4) As long as you don't include the glossy paper, colored inks should be fine.
5) Worms crawl up the sides for various reasons that we will never understand. If your whole herd is crawling up the sides, something is wrong in our bin.
6) There are different ways to put scraps in your bin. There is no really wrong way. In general it is best not to cover your entire bin with fresh food all at once. if you do something the worms don't like, they will need a place to escape to. Many foods will have some smell as they first break down. Covering the food with damp paper helps keep the smells down. It also helps avoid fruit fly problems.
I'm a newbie at this, but my worms seem happy, and here are the instructions that I followed: Worms need ventilation, so you need to have holes in the bottom of your bin, and no blankets, etc. on top. Worms don't like light, so keeping a table light on should discourage them from climbing. Setup: I used shredded newspaper, and mixed it with 3 or 4 cups of damp (not wet!) coir fiber, but peat moss should be OK. The worms were placed on this damp mixture, covered with 3-4 sheets of slightly damp newspaper, and a loose opaque cover on this, which does not stop air flow. Every couple of days, add a small handful of vegetable scraps under the damp newspaper. If the worms are not actively involved in the older piles of food, add less or none at all for a few days. I started with 1 pound of worms, and they are easily consuming 3-4 ounces of food every other day.
What kind of worms did you start with, and where did you get them?
Hope this helps...

Thanks!!! That all helped a lot.
I drilled holes on the bottom of the bin and a few on the sides.
Since the worms were already through the potting soil I put food on one side of the bin and the soil on the other. I'm going to continue to put food on the same side in hopes that all the worms move to that side so I can remove the soil. How long might I have to wait before the worms are near the food source instead of in the soil?
I have 1000 red wriggler worms which I bought online from uncle jim's worm farm. I keep the bin in my back stairwell, which is the hallway that connects the two apartments in the house.
If all you put on the one side is food, it will get pretty stinky. If you want to draw the worms away from the soil, fill the other side with shredded cardboard, then feed only on that side.
I don't know how much potting soil you have in the bin. If it isn't a lot, and the worms seem to be happy in it, I would not bother to try to draw the worms out of it. As the bedding decomposes, it will take up less space in the bin. You will need to top off the bedding every week or so. Eventually the potting soil will be an insignificant ingredient in your bin.

Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/7/2011 8:25 PM EDTBB is gonna do something to make us say who dat what dat. Here's your chance to predict it ahead of time and have it documented. So whats your What The??????? Draft Prediction? And please no, he trades some picks down or to next year. That would not be a big surprise. Mine is: He picks one of the following three guys:1)Kyle Rudolph-With pick 2A,Crumpler is heading out soon-He can block & catch-Dont bet against it.2)Prince Mookiemookie - if he falls to us I have little doubt BB would snap him up3)Robert Quinn- If he is still there at 10,BB could go up and get him dont doubt it
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/7/2011 8:33 PM EDT1. I've mentioned previously on a thread or two, 2. Would be a steal, IMO and agree that he'd draft him in a second at 17 and no chance on 3 (again, my opinion only). Too much risk moving up to the top 10 for a positional convert with character questions that didn't play last year.
If I'm to choose something else, it would be that he moves up to target the artist fromerly known as the Nebraska CB around the top 10 vs. taking him if he falls to 17.
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/7/2011 10:50 PM EDTI really like Quinn. You can't coach natural talent.But he does have lots of red flags.
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/7/2011 11:42 PM EDTI'm in Milwaukee and would to see J.J. Watts in a Pats uniform. Might be crazy, but as much as we need to beef up the Oline, maybe we can plug those holes through free agency if there is quality out there to be had.
As much as I look the Green Ellis/Woodhead combo, I'd love to see Ingram in a Pats uniformand wouldn't be surprised to see BB pull a fast one on us and do the unexpected and draft Ingram. We've lacked a quality hard hitting back since Corey Dillon's big year. Put a hard hitting back in like Ingram and it adds another weapon to keep defenses back on thier heals and away from Brady, and Ingram is suppose to be a good blocking back as well.
Just my thoughts.
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 12:50 AM EDTHere's MY bold prediction:
At LEAST 2 of New England's Top 3 Selections @ #17, #28, and #33 overall, WILL be traded down, and into Both Multiple later round selections and/or Multiple Later Selections (or later round) along with A selection further down and a future pick. Further: He'll ONLY keep a single 1 of these selections, of which he'll either stay put/trade up just a couple spots/OR (and imo) he just might trade down just a couple spots, making it 3 tradedowns (2 substantial ones though). Whichever this single pick is, and whereever it is {still in Rd 1 (or less likely, very early Rd 2)}, it will be spent on an O-Lineman, and less likely-An RB...UNLESS 1 single player slips to him (or close enough to his range of say 2-4 selectionns spots): Cameron Jordan. IF no Jordan (or whatever the result with these 3 picks), 2 of however many 2nd Rders Belichick has when all's said and done, WILL be spent on WR and D-Lineman.
Chances are each and all of these things will come true, and I'll be hailed as a Genius.

Did ya even read the whole thing...I mean, I thought I was pretty d#mn specific on ALL the scenarios that'll happen. Sheez, wad'dya need a selection number and the time of day too?
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 3:21 AM EDTBB moves up to grab a sliding Da'Quan Bowers
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 7:02 AM EDTPats trade up and grab Jake Locker..... yes that is bold! haha
otherwise - move up to grab Patrick Peterson - the Pats do not need another DB as much as a pass rushing OLB/DE or OT - but DB is bold look at last year...
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 7:18 AM EDTI'll take your route and do 3 bold predictions that I don't think will happen but there is the possibility.
#1 - At 33 BB takes Colin Kaepernick QB
#2 - They take Castonzo at #17 T, trade up to #21 to get Pouncey G/C, use #33 on Danny Watkins G, and finally #74 on James Carpenter T/G
#3 - they use pick #60 on Darius Morris G/T
How's that for bold predictions
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 7:24 AM EDTIn Response to Re: Bold draft predictions:the strike is killing the Pats because I really thought if Az could land Kolb they would have traded out of the five spot and maybe we could have moved up for a shot at Miller. I also thought Shanahan might take a shot with Vince Young and trade down out of the ten spot for multi picks to help oline. Wouldn't it be the balls if we could move up not just once but twice to land Miller and Julio Jones. Now that would be a draft
Posted by pumpsiefan
We'd have to spend a lot to move up to pick #5 and I don't even think we'd have enough ammo to get two top 10 picks lol
But that would be something else to come out of the draft with pretty much only Jones and Miller. That would be really shocked and against BB's nature
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 7:31 AM EDTThey will trade all of their picks in this years draft and all 2nd and later round picks in next years draft. Thru various packaging they will end up with 5 tickets in the Andrew Luck lottery.
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 8:18 AM EDTHere is a prediction. The Sox sweep the Yankees & A ROID gets a season ending injury.
Seriously I will predict that BB Trades 17& our 3rd for a pick around 10 for either Quinn, Bowers, or Jordan.
Trade pick 28 to SD For picks 50 & 61.
Then with picks
33 Draft Torrey Smith WR
50 Draft Ijalana ,Winsniewski or Cannon
60 Draft Demarco Murray
61 Jabaal Sheard , Sam Acho or Bruce Carter.
How can I get this to BB?

Posted by BBReigns
Positional convert, didn't play in 2010, character concerns. Not really things you want from a player that you likely have to move up for.
Additionally and as far as sack statistics go, of his 11 sacks in 2009, 1 came against BC/Castonzo, the other 10 were sprinkled over Duke, Georgia Southern, Citadel, East Carolina and Virginia (3-9), not exactly dominating elite competition. Now I'm not sure what kind of scheme was in place of if he was the subject to double teams in the rest of his games but that atleast has to be considered.
Overall I think the kid has as much natural talent as anyone in this class and can probably be as good as he wants to be, but he's by no means a sure thing, IMO.
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 10:35 AM EDTCharacter concerns with Quinn? That's a new one. Like what? He's the best pass rusher in the draft.

Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 10:58 AM EDTYour rationale is skewed in that you have nothing to lose by talking the kid up and blaming this solely on the NCAA, you're not the head of an organization or personnel director that could lose his job over taking a questionable kid that high in the draft. "hey other kids have done it, why can't he?", play the race card or give a free pass if you want but, simply put, the kid made a stupid decision, then lied about it so his character will be called into question.
Also, Gronkowski was taken in Rd 2, not the top 10-15, a big difference in risk.

Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 11:27 AM EDTYou said bold so here goes:
Pats Trade #33 and #74 pick to Clevland and snag CB Patrick Peterson at # 6
Pats Trade our #60, #92, #125 to Washington and snag RE JJ Watt
Pats Keep #17 and get the new LOLB Ryan Kerrigan
Pats Keep #28 and get the new LT Nate Solder or Mark Ingram if availible
and who cares about the rest of the picks.
That would be my dream draft
Just my opinion, that and 2 bucks will get you a coffee
Re: Bold draft predictions
posted at 4/8/2011 11:41 AM EDTIn Response to Re: Bold draft predictions:Agreed on the round difference even though Gronkowski's situation is more serious due to health, but you are out of your mind if you think there is only a small % of kids taking a gift from an agent at any time in the last few decades in the NFL draft. I would bet close to 80% of 1st rd draft picks in the last 30-40 years have taken some version of a "gift" from an agent and it didn't stop them from drafting that player. It may even be higher. I hope Quinn falls to 17, but there is no way that many teams pass on a once in a decade edge rushing talent like that. Singling out Quinn because he went to a school that was made an example of during this recent push as the phony NCAA tries to get away with knowing about this for 50 years is hilarious. When the NCAA comes down from it's high horse, puts in rules and regulations and then enforces the punishments fairly across the board, then I'll care. Until then, all they are doing is trying to take pressure off themselves as a corporate entity. They'll deny that, but they are full of it. Until then, it's as phony and corrupt an organization as we'll find in this country. I can only imagine the gifts Lawrence Taylor received.
Posted by BBReigns
I never mentioned any percentage because I don't know. You can speculate as much as you want about 80%, but you don't know either. I'm also not naive enough to think that there is no corruption in the NCAA/major college sports, there's simply too much money at stake for there not to be. That still doesn't take away from the fact that this kid participated in said corruption then lied about it. Again, not saying he's a bad kid, but unfortunately for him, it's a red flag on his record and will be looked into plenty by prospective teams.

When unapproved genetically modified wheat was found growing in Oregon earlier this year, it didn't take long for accusations about how it ended up there to start flying. A flurry of initial finger-pointing cast potential blame on a federal seed vault in Fort Collins, Colo., which housed the same strain of wheat, developed by Monsanto Corp., for about seven years up until late 2011.

Johor Bahru - Komtar JBCC and City Square Mall
Just went to Johor Bahru and had a blast of time dining and shopping. The exchange rate was very good too. I found out that it was better to change our S$ to RM in JB rather than in Sg. The rate was S$1 to RM2.71 at most money changers in JB but the best rate I found was the money changer in JBCC Level 2, it was S$1 = RM2.72, of course unless you are changing a lot of dollars, the one or few cents difference dont make much impact. You can read my previous post on how to go to Johor Bahru from Singapore.And also from another post on how to go to City Square Mall from the JB Immigration Building. There's a new mall that just opened in JB, is JBCC that just next to City Square Mall and the immigration building. These three buildings were linked via pedestrian bridge. After clearing the immigration and walking towards the mall, we could see both the City Square Mall and JBCC Mall. Just followed the signs and directions on the bridge to the respective malls. JBCC is still quite empty as it was fairly newly completed and not many shops were open yet but there's Angry Bird Theme Park on Level 3 in JBCC but we did not visit the theme park cause we were soley there to shop for our Chinese New Year. After browsing in JBCC, we decided to head to City Square Mall located just next door. Due to the recent good exchange rate, shopping this time round is so much cheaper and we managed to buy shoes, bags, etc for our coming Chinese New Year. Very happy shopper. :) And lunch was so much cheaper in Ringgit, oh dear I kept saying cheap cheap cheap hahaha - typical Singaporean style. Singapore is simply too expensive to shop nowadays.... sigh

Taiwan Trip 2014 - Day 6 - Bye Bye Taiwan
Finally is time to say Bye Bye to Taiwan, decided to take a cab to the airport instead of dragging so many luggages to the airport bus station. The CityInn hotel's staff arranged for a cab for us and it cost NT1100 from the hotel to airport. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our trip, appreciated so much. If we take the airport bus is only NT125 per pax x 4 people = NT500 for 4 pax. But this trip we did a lot of shopping hahaha, so wiser to take the cab. After checking in our luggages, we went to the food court located at Basement 1 of Taoyuan Airport Terminal 1. Lots of varieties and prices were reasonable. I had Hainanese Chicken Rice Hubby had curry pork chop rice Saw some display of insects sculpture along the way as we walked towards the boarding gate. Finally, we boarded the plane and was sad this trip was so short. Had some chicken noodle, hubby did not had an airline food, he was suffering from gastric. This being my 3rd trip to Taiwan, this trip being more of relaxation and shopping and some personal errands to run. For more photos and sightseeing of other places in Taiwan, you can visit my previous trip in 2011.

Taiwan Trip 2014 - Day 6 - Taiwanese Traditional Breakfast Soy Milk at Fu Hang Dou Jiang 阜杭豆漿 at Huashan Market
Our last day in Taiwan, decided to head to the famous Fu Hang Dou Jiang 阜杭豆漿 at Huashan Market. It was just one mrt stop away from taipei main station. Took the MRT to Shandao Temple and exit 5 to Huashan Market on the second floor. Exit 5 has no lift or escalator, need to climb a number of stairs. Once we exit out of Exit 5, we got a shock, there's along queue to almost to Exit 5,the time was around 8 am,if after 9 am, the queue could be even longer. The queue was even in the market and on the stairs from first to second storey and took us about 1 hour to queue. We took turns to queue, brother in law and sis queue for the first half hour, while hubby and me browse around the area and then we queue the next half hour. There's lot of sitting areas so dont worry about going up to "chope"/reserved seats first, it will derived those in the front queues of sitting places. Once we reached the counter, the staffs were very fast in taking orders and calculating the cost of the breakfast. We got our breakfast in very quick time. The breakfast were freshly made in the large kitchen and the buns were baked via the charcoal grill. We had the hot soy milk. Some yu tiao (the fried fritters- a bit too oily), buns, etc. If you dislike queueing, there's another taiwanese breakfast eatery nearby called Yong He Dou Jiang with no queues. After breakfast, we went to the market on the first storey, where they sold vegetables, meat, fruit, etc. Spotted huge and beautiful looking wax apples. Been eating these wax apples during the night market during our trip, love it so much. They were so costly, one box contained about twelve wax apples and sis bought 6 and I bought 6, 6 for NT500 but they were really juicy and sweet. It really tasted so good, sweet and juicy.

Is Triclopyr the herbicide of choice??
I've seen several post references to Triclopyr recently and notice that's it's the ingrediant in most of the "brush killer" products. Is this the stuff that everybody's using for poison ivy and weed elimination??
Triclopyr is commonly used for control of woody plants, including poison ivy, as it works better than many other kinds of herbicides for that purpose. It is a selective herbicide unlike Roundup, which means it will not affect grasses. This can be a desirable trait depending on the site. Along with Roundup, it is one of the more common herbicides used to control non-native invasive plants during habitat restoration. There are two forms available, an ester form, and an amine form. The ester is much more likely to volatilize and move when applied during warm or hot conditions, and its use is typically reserved for colder times of year. The ester form does penetrate plant tissues more readily though. The amine form is a better choice in warmer conditions. The link more fully explains the material.
Here is a link that might be useful: Nature Conservancy - triclopyr
Small courtyard grass killed by roots from two crepe myrtles & sago palms. Dug out two inches of dirt to replace with crushed limestone (the pretty red kind),several 16" stepping stones & pavers around birdbath. Courtyard is a mass of roots from trees & shrubs. Will cut roots at edge of flowerbed so as not to kill trees & shrubs. What is most effective method of applying Triclopyr to kill roots to prevent problems down the road? Is there something more effective than Triclopyr??
I have no personal knowledge or experience but have read that triclopyr is not as effective when applied to roots. It's absorbed and works better through foliage or fresh stump cuts. "Triclopyr is most effective when applied to actively growing plants." (http://www.hort.uconn.edu/cipwg/art_pubs/GUIDE/consideration.htm)
"Triclopyr is absorbed by leaves and roots and is moved throughout the
plant. Lab experiments indicate that foliar uptake is fast with 90% of applied TBEE penetrating vegetation in about 12 hours (McCall and Gavit et al., 1986). Triclopyr can damage plants due to root uptake BUT DOES NOT WORK EFFECTIVELY THAT WAY (Newton et al., 1990)." (www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/emon/pubs/fatememo/triclopyr.pdf)
You also need to be careful what else is in the formulation. Maybe your state extension agents could give you more information.

Final stop in Morro Bay, then Home to Capitola
We hit the road early and made our way west on hwy 178 towards Lake Isabella. The lake is huge with about a dozen campgrounds surrounding it. It should be easy to find a spot for a night on the lake's edge. So we thought, and we were right. The only problem is that Lake Isabella is a few quarts low, so to speak. After spending over a month in Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada where unseasonal rains have given them spring-like conditions, ...
A Little Surprise in The Giant Forest
... have a way of making you feel completely insignificant which I think is a good thing. On the long approach road towards General Sherman, we were held up by a car that had stopped right on a blind bend. A woman was half hanging out of the window staring at something in the trees. I thought "why has she stopped there and what is she lookin.... JESUS CHRIST ITS A BEAR!"
Around twenty feet away from us a black bear was sniffing around a tree trunk. I ...
Good day with Danny and Lynda
It's cold and foggy this morning. We took the dogs down to the beach so Dasher could run, and boy did she. The fog is so heavy we couldn't even see the ocean or the rock until we were really close to it. It looks really cool the way the fog lifts from here. It surges up up like steam off of a boiling pot. We took the dogs around Morro Rock and saw a raft of otters. Maybe a dozen or more. ...
Pacific Coast Highway
... look great we love them. And a must is also to go into one of the Danish Bakeries and get a Danish with a coffee – what better to do that in front of a windmill.
And don't let us forget that we visited the little Mermaid from Hans Christian Anderson.
On the way here we pass rolling green hills, you feel like back in Germany – so the Danish town ...
Christmas Day
Walked on the beach this am. Really wide hard sand for cars and RVs to drive on and to park. Lots of festive attire on dogs and people, even Santa hats on the boogie boarders! Pattcakes called with an uninvite for Christmas dinner! Evidently Lanita got ***** and suggested they just have dinner with their friends since we were coming. Not too inclusive. Anyway we have no plan B except to eat the shrimp platter we had planned to take for hors d' ouerves. Every place is ...

"The Nest doesn't give us an option to turn that off or on. They say they're not going to use that data or share it with Google, but why don't they give the option to turn it off?" says Jin.

Cool stuff from msrevise!
I just got home to find a great mid-week pickmeup after a looong day...a package from Maryland. A lovely assortment from msrevise's area.
I opened the biggest one first. A set of wines (yes, a set, so it was legal, hehe)from her friend's winery. A chardonnay and Gollywobbler(!), a pretty red that msrevise says is good for sangria. We will definitely use it for just that when Liana comes home for Thanksgiving. When I visit her we like to go to a retaurant called Sangria (speciality is...? You guessed it...). We downed our share last time I was there.
Then came the book, a White House cookbook. Very cool, and I can't wait to curl up and read it. DC was one place I didn't get a chance to hunt down a local cookbook (I try to buy one everywhere I go), so now I have one.
And finally we have the squirrel. I love the squirrel. It cracked us up because we've been having some issues with a couple of squirrels that have taken up residence in our roof. We're torn between live trapping them and hauling them off and letting them stay for the entertainment value. One of them is very sweet looking and the other is evil (and not in a Jessy-ish way!). He sits on the windowsill and glares at me.
This squirrel, from Chesapeake, VA, is multi-purpose. He serves as an oven rack pusher/puller and he can hold a recipe card in his mouth. He came complete with an heirloom recipe for fruit crumb cake...yum.
Thank you, thank you, Ms.R. Your choices were perfect and your timing couldn't have been better.
I took a picture of everything wrapped and the batteries in my camera died, so I'll post pics (and get caught up on everyone's goodies...I am soooo behind...) this weekend.
The squirrel really sounds intriquing, I can't wait to see it. How neat to be able to send wines from a friend's winery - how cool is that! I bet they're delicious. The cookbook sounds interesting, too. It'll be interesting to see recipes they've served in the Whitehouse. Good job, Mrs. R.
Very nice. I like the idea of a set of wine. And how special that they are from a friends winery. I bet the White House Cookbook has lots of wonderful recipes. I hope you will share some of them with us. Looking forward to seeing the photos.
Nicely done Msrevise and all within the limits too.
Wine from a friend's winery...how cool is that! Enjoy...
I'm anxious for you to look through your cook book. I might be as excited as you are. Please let me know if Dolly Madison's dinner rolls are in there? I used to have the recipe and they were very good and it got lost somewhere along the way of life. Also look forward to seeing other Presidential recipes.
Your VA squirrel sounds darling.
Look forward to your pixs.
Very good job, msrevise!
Can't wait to see pics. I'll bet there's some great recipes in that cookbook.....with that much money, you can bet they don't serve junk at the white house!! grin.
The squirrel sounds interesting.....need photo!
I'll have to be sure to let my DH know that wine comes in 'sets'. He doesn't really drink it, but I do....I just want to make sure he understands why there's 2 bottles.
Nice package!!
I'd also like to see the squirrel, that sounds interesting. LOL
A set of wine? Hmmm. Another swapper asked me if I thought a red and a white from the same winery was cheating and I told her I thought if they were from the same place they were a set. (grin) I don't think SHE believed me, though.
I went to take a pic of the squirrel, but it was his day off, so he wouldn't pose, and he flatly refused to pull out the oven rack...
No seriously, I got pics of the other two gifts, but the squirrel was so nicely wrapped, and i'm extremely gift wrapping-impaired (I'll be embarrassed if Katie posts how i wrapped the other two!), that i just didn't want to take him out of the box. I should have time to download the other pics this afternoon, so i'll post them then.
Katie, i'm so glad you liked the package! I had to scheme to get the wine, b/c it's only sold on the Eastern Shore right now, and i wasn't going to be over there during the swap period. Luckily my friend still comes into town here occasionally, and she was willing to deliver my order! She and her husband sort of dropped out of the rat race (she's still in it, but telecommutes) and started this winery a year or so ago. The Chardonnay has already won a gold medal! Anyway, i really wanted to be able to send something from all three places, since i live so close to all of them, hence the cookbook from DC, squirrel from VA, and wine from MD.
Oh, and Katie, you're not alone on the squirrels in the attic! We had FLYING squirrels in the attic a couple years ago. We did end up doing the box trap/relocation thing. They're nocturnal, so at 2am, they'd wake us with their acrobatics! But they were cute little fellas, with really big eyes.
Here is a link that might be useful:
LOL at the squirrel picture, and the cookbook picture too! Can't wait to see the pix of the swap, though. The squirrel tool sounds very intriguing.
Does the cookbook have the recipe for the chocolate cake that appeared in that movie Katie Holmes was in (as the president's daughter)? That's how I always think of her (18 years old) so that whole Tom Cruise thing grossed me out!
The wine is a great homemade gift. Those would be great friends to have, for sure. I hope you don't end up having your sangria with Squirrel Flambe though!
Okay I am requesting a squirrel photo as well as my tiny little pea sized brain can not picture this gift on my own. Hmm, having trouble with the wine as well, I am going to need a taste to comment. LOL.
this package sounds very cool, it is great that all three states are reperesented.
I'm curious about the cookbook - does it cover all periods of the White House, or is it more limited? Sounds interesting, from a historical point of view. I'm very much interested in the history of food/cooking.
Wine is a great local gift also - I can't say I've evey had Gollywobbler wine! That will be interesting to try.
Still hoping for the squirrel picture!
OK Here's the squirrel. Sorry I took so long...been a hectic week.
Inside the tag it says,
"The Friendship Oven Squirrel
North Carolina folklore has it that the residents of the Pisgah Mountain range gave this squirrel to any new comer to the neighborhood as a sign of friendship. It was to be displayed in their front window to signify that they had been welcomed to the neighborhood. It also works great when you need to pull the oven rack out with his ears and push it back in with his front paws."
Here he is holding the recipe. Very cool. And he is cedar, btw.
And I thought the wrapping looked great. Hard to see the pretty fall-leaf stamping on the squirrel's box but it's very seasonal.
Thank you again, MsR...I will be enjoying the wine and the book tomorrow.
Those are wonderful gifts. The squirrel is a great kitchen companion. And a wine set sounds great (maybe even semi-legitimately one item - maybe not). I had no idea the White House had a cookbook. I'm also curious about the content. Is it from one chef - one presidency - over time?
MsR - I'm from the area too, and I wouldn't have known about any of these items. Great job.
Katie - enjoy it all.
Well that squirrel is definitely different, interesting, and practical! The craftmanship looks lovely. Hey, can you stand it on its head/front legs to support an 8.5x11 sheet of paper?
Msrevise, I am wrapping challenged too. We need to start a support group!
Dang, Amazon has the cookbook listed but its not 'searchable' so we can't peek. Next lifetime. And that wine looks wonderful!
bizzo, i queried my friend on the Gollywobbler, and guess what--it's fermented Concord grapes! Hey kids, a new treat for the lunchbox!
lars, the cookbook is pretty cool and actually an interesting historical document, in a way. It's an updated and revised edition of one that was published in 1891 during Grover Cleveland's presidency, and the new one still includes many recipes that were served at that time, especially for entertaining. There are also tips on things like how to make soap, if i recall. So in the centennial revised edition, they include healthy updated recipes alongside the original (sometimes shockingly unhealthy!) recipes. In addition, they include recipes from the current White House (well, current in the 1990s), and healthier versions of some of those, too, among them Hillary Clinton's cookies and Barbara Bush's shortbread (and i have to wonder, when was the last time either of them actually baked??).
OH! THAT squirrel! Why didnt you say so??? I happen to have a little guy like that too!
I just wanted to share all of the things you can do with him!!
He makes an awesome stamp holder
He makes a wonderful wine glass stop so the glass won't get knocked over
Mail holder
bookstop, so cookbook won't slide off counter
book marker

Hawaii's solar photovoltaic industry optimistic about state's renewable energy future
- Jenna Blakely
- Reporter- Pacific Business News
- Email | Twitter
Eight executives from competing Hawaii solar photovoltaic companies expressed optimism for the future of renewable energy despite some challenges taking place now and some anticipated for the coming years.
They gathered in the PBN newsroom on Thursday morning to talk about current trends in the industry in a meeting that lasted for a little more than two hours.
A big challenge right now has been dealing with the sales side of the business as PV contractors are working under new rules and regulations which limit the amount of tax credits that can be used on systems installed on or after Jan. 1.
"It affected us the day it came out," said Aaron Kirk, chief operating officer of Sunetric. "This was the biggest challenge to us and to the industry. If there was a six month notice to a step-down, it would have been easier to prepare clients and the industry."
Drew Bradley, Hawaii regional manager of REC Solar, noted that people don't like surprises in costs and so the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming legislative session is making it difficult for PV contractors to promise customers what costs will be.
In terms of reaching the 2030 energy goal, which calls for 40 percent of the state's energy coming from renewable sources, executives said it's hard to make assumptions this early in the game.
"We can look at the 2030 number through today's eyes but in reality things will be different 20 years from now, " said Joe Saturnia, president of Island Pacific Energy. "When we get there, technology will change so much ... it could be different scenario all together... It's about leaving the door open for innovations which will change what we need to do."
